Update on Progress of
replacement of signs

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Meeting Date: August 4th, 2026
SUBJECT: Informational Update – City Wide Sign Replacement Program SUBMITTED: Michael Honn, Public Works Director
APPROVED: Jason Rogers, City Manager
RECOMMENDATION:

No action required. This is an informational report only, providing the City Council with a status update on the City Wide Sign Replacement Program, which includes street name signs, speed limit signs, traffic cautionary signs, and truck route signs.

DISCUSSION:

In December 2024, the Public Works Department purchased a sign printing machine to support the replacement of all signage throughout the city. The acquisition of this printer completed the equipment needed to make Public Works a fully functional, in-house sign making shop. At that time staff identified 10 service areas (phases) for sign replacement throughout the City. The program began in late 2024 and has been progressing through each area sequentially.

PRODUCTION DETAILS
Each phase consists of approximately 130 street name signs. Each sign costs approximately $175 to manufacture and install. Each phase therefore costs approximately $22,750 in materials and labor.

Each district takes approximately two to two and a half months to produce and install. Some districts have exceeded 150 signs and therefor take more time to complete.

PROGRAM STATUS
As of June 2026, staff had completed Phases 1 through 6 and are actively working on Phase

7. The FY 2025-2026 budget accomplishments confirm that Phase 5 & Phase 6 had been completed. The objective for FY 2026-2027 is to complete Phase 7 and start Phase 10.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Meeting Date: August 4, 2026
SUBJECT: Presentation and Request for Council Direction - Draft Downtown Design Standards and Guidelines and Adopt Resolution 2026-77
SUBMITTED: Megan Lawrence, City Planner
APPROVED: Jason Rogers, City Manager
RECOMMENDATION:

Review Downtown Design Standards and Guidelines prepared by Alta + Planning and Design, Inc. and adopt Resolution 2026-77
DISCUSSION:

In March 2026 the City entered into a professional services agreement with Raimi + Associates to prepare Design Standards and Guidelines for Selma’s downtown commercial area, including properties located in the Downtown Selma Business Improvement District (BID).

Staff has worked with the consultant team to provide past council direction, feedback, and coordination for review of the draft Design Standards and Guidelines by the BID advisory board.

Consultants will be presenting draft Downtown Design Standards and Guidelines.

Staff is requesting Council feedback on the draft standards and guidelines, and direction to initiate a zoning ordinance text amendment to consider the adoption of Downtown Design Standards and Guidelines into the Selma Municipal Code, Title XI, Zoning.

The zoning ordinance text amendment process is a legislative land use action that may be initiated by resolution of the City Council. The process requires a public hearing before the Selma Planning Commission for recommendation of the item to the City Council, which will conduct a separate public hearing to consider the item and complete the first reading of the proposed ordinance. A second reading of the proposed ordinance will follow the City Council’s initial public hearing and first reading, with the ordinance taking effect thirty (30) days from and after the date of passage, consistent with California Government Code § 36937.

Staff estimates a timeline of approximately 3-6 months for the text amendment process to be completed, due to required public noticing and meeting schedules for the required public hearings.

Detailed Findings
Meeting: Joint Selma City Council, Planning Commission, and Downtown BID Workshop

SCOPE AND APPLICABILITY
Design standards are intended to apply to:
• New construction
• Major exterior renovations
• Significant storefront changes
• Projects utilizing the storefront or façade improvement grant Design standards will not:
• Apply retroactively unless triggered by permits or major exterior work
• Regulate routine maintenance or minor repairs
• Force removal of existing compliant features unless replaced or rebuilt

OVERALL DOWNTOWN PRIORITIES
Participants ranked the following as top priorities:

1. Attractive storefronts and building design

2. Landscaping and greenery

3. Comfortable, shaded sidewalks

4. Walkability and pedestrian safety
Community gathering spaces and arts and cultural elements were ranked lower but still considered valuable.

BUILDING HEIGHT AND MASSING
There was general support for multi-story development with conditions:
• Approximately 70% supported added height if it supports housing or office use
• Buildings must feel pedestrian-friendly and visually
compatible
• Strong preference for step-backs on upper floors to prevent a tunnel effect
• General comfort with two to three stories maximum
• Emphasis on sunlight access, human scale, and ADA compliance

STOREFRONT DESIGN PREFERENCES
Key preferences included:
• Large transparent windows
• Visibility into businesses
• Active and inviting façades
• Limited window coverage by signage
Encouraged features:
• Recessed doorways used selectively
• Display windows
• Lighting and clear signage
• Visual variation between storefronts
Blank or inactive façades were not supported.

MATERIALS AND ARCHITECTURAL DETAILS
There was strong support for:
• Preserving original materials such as brick and tile when feasible
• Using durable, low-maintenance materials
Encouraged but not required:
• Parapets and cornices
• Decorative trim or modern interpretations
• Step-backs and varied parapet heights
• Horizontal emphasis and architectural depth

COLOR PALETTE DISCUSSION
Two palette concepts were presented:
• Terracotta-inspired palette
• Neutral palette
Renderings of downtown streets were shown in both styles.

Participants expressed a clear preference for neutral tones. No vote or formal adoption occurred.

Key points:
• Support for coordinated color guidance, not rigid uniformity • Interest in allowing accent colors
• Discussion of possible exceptions for culturally themed businesses
• Emphasis on objective standards with a possible appeals process

AWNINGS
Discussion supported allowing awnings with flexibility:
• Metal, canvas, or building-integrated materials considered • Emphasis on maintenance, material quality, and
compatibility

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Meeting Date: August 4, 2026
SUBJECT: Consideration of Opportunity Zone 2.0 Recommendation for Eligible Census Tract in the City of Selma
SUBMITTED: Bonique Emerson, AICP, Interim Community Development Director APPROVED: Jason Rogers, City Manager
RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt resolution 2026-XX authorizing the City Manager, or designee, to submit a Local Authority Recommendation to the Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development (GO-Biz) requesting that the following eligible census tracts be considered for Opportunity Zone 2.0 designation: 71.01 (06019007101), 70.02 (06019007002), 71.02 (06019007102), and express strong support for adding these tracts as Opportunity Zones.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

Opportunity Zones (OZ) 2.0 is a renewed federal-state designation process intended to encourage long-term investment in eligible economically distressed census tracts through taxadvantaged investment tools. California is currently soliciting local recommendations for eligible tracts, and designation of a Selma tract that could strengthen the City’s ability to attract private investment for economic development, housing, revitalization, infrastructure, and job-generating projects.

This action would demonstrate strong support and authorize the City Manager to request that the State consider three eligible Selma census tracts for designation as Opportunity Zones under the current Opportunity Zones 2.0 cycle. The recommendation does not designate a tract, approve development, or commit City funds, but it positions the City to compete for inclusion in California’s statewide nomination package.

BACKGROUND:

The Opportunity Zone program was originally created to channel private capital gains investment into economic distressed communities, and the Opportunity Zones 2.0 continues that framework through a new round of tracts designations. California’s GO-Biz is administering the local recommendation phase, during which cities and other authorized public entities may recommend eligible census tracts for the Governor’s consideration.

Go-Biz indicates that the state will consider factors such as alignment with California Jobs First priorities, affordable housing and RHNA implementation, shovel-ready sites, and evidence of public investment or readiness to attract private investment. The Local Authority Recommendation process requires one submission per eligible tract and includes questions about strategic sectors, partners, committed investment, and site readiness.

DISCUSSION:

If a census tract for the City of Selma is ultimately selected for Opportunity Zone 2.0, the designation could improve the City’s visibility to investors and developers seeking to place 55 capital in designated areas. Potential benefits may include increased market attention for housing, business expansion, redevelopment, industrial or logistic activity, infrastructuresupportive development, and adaptive reuse or infill opportunities, depending on the characteristics of the tract.

For the City, the practical value of seeking designation is that it creates another economic development tool that can complement local land use planning, capital improvements, housing efforts, and infrastructure planning. Recommendation of a tract does not guarantee investment, but it may help the City compete more effectively for private capital by highlighting Selma’s opportunity areas and readiness for future projects.

The draft list of census tracts recommended for nomination will be posted on the Department of Finance website when the public comment period begins on August 3rd. The State’s OZ

2.0 Public Comment Period will be from August 3, 2026, to August 28, 2026. The deadline for submitting comments is August 28, 2026, at 11:59 pm.

Staff recommends that the City Council support these tracts for inclusion in the Opportunity Zones for the following tracts 71.01 (06019007101), 70.02 (06019007002), 71.02 (06019007102) as shown in Attachment A. Staff further recommends authorizing the City Manager, or designee, to finalize supporting narratives and tract-specific information required by GO-Biz, including descriptions of strategic-sector alignment, investment readiness, committed public improvements, and supporting partners, and submit letters of support from the City and City Council, along with partner agencies and organizations.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no direct fiscal impact associated with authorizing submittal of the recommendation other than staff time. Any future project, incentive, infrastructure commitment, or funding request associated with a designated tract would return to the City Council for separate consideration.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:

Authorization to recommend a census tract for Opportunity Zone 2.0 consideration is not a project under CEQA because it does not commit the City to any specific development or physical improvement. In the alternative, the action is exempt under CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), because it can be seen with certainty that authorizing submittal of a recommendation has no possibility of causing a significant effect on the environment.

League of California Cities Annual Conference and Expo, Sept. 23-25, 2026 Anaheim Convention Center
Every year, the League of California Cities convenes a member-driven General Assembly at the Cal Cities Annual Conference and Expo. The General Assembly is an important opportunity where city officials can directly participate in the development of Cal Cities policy.

Taking place on Friday, Sept. 25, 2026 the General Assembly is comprised of voting delegates appointed by each member city; every city has one voting delegate. Your appointed voting delegate plays an important role during the General Assembly by representing your city and voting on resolutions.

To cast a vote during the General Assembly, your city must designate a voting delegate and up to two alternate voting delegates, one of whom may vote if the designated voting delegate is unable to serve in that capacity. Voting delegates may either be an elected or appointed official.

Action by Council Required. Consistent with Cal Cities bylaws, a city’s voting delegate and up to two alternates must be designated by the city council. Please note that designating the voting delegate and alternates must be done by city council action and cannot be accomplished by individual action of the mayor or city manager alone.

Following council action, please submit your city’s delegates through the online submission portal by Tuesday, Sept. 1, 2026. When completing the Voting Delegate submission form, you will be asked to attest that council action was taken. You will need to be signed in to your My Cal Cities account when submitting the form.

Submitting your voting delegate form by the deadline will allow us time to establish voting delegate/alternate records prior to the conference and provide pre-conference communications with voting delegates.

Conference Registration Required. The voting delegate and alternates must be registered to attend the conference. They need not register for the entire conference; they may register for Friday only. Conference registration opens June 2.

For a city to cast a vote, one voter must be present at the General Assembly and in possession of the voting delegate card and voting tool. Voting delegates and Council Action Advised by September 1, 2026
63 alternates need to pick up their conference badges before signing in and picking up the voting delegate card at the voting delegate desk. This will enable them to receive the special sticker on their name badges that will admit the voting delegate into the voting area during the General Assembly.

Please view Cal Cities’ event and meeting policy in advance of the conference.

Transferring Voting Card to Non-Designated Individuals Not Allowed. The voting delegate card may be transferred freely between the voting delegate and alternates, but only between the voting delegate and alternates. If the voting delegate and alternates find themselves unable to attend the General Assembly, they may not transfer the voting card to another city official.

Seating Protocol during General Assembly. At the General Assembly, individuals with a voting card will sit in a designated area. Admission to the voting area will be limited to the individual in possession of the voting card and with a special sticker on their name badge identifying them as a voting delegate.

The voting delegate desk, located in the conference registration area of the Anaheim Convention Center, will be open at the following times: Wednesday, Sept. 23, 8:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m. and Thursday, Sept. 24, 7:30 a.m.-4:00 p.m. On Friday, Sept. 25, the voting delegate desk will be open at the General Assembly, starting at 7:30 a.m., but will be closed during roll calls and voting.

The voting procedures that will be used at the conference are attached to this memo.

Please share these procedures and this memo with your council and especially with the individuals that your council designates as your city’s voting delegate and alternates.

Once again, thank you for submitting your voting delegate and alternates by Tuesday, Sept. 1. If you have questions, please contact Zach Seals at [email protected].

1. One City One Vote. Each member city has a right to cast one vote on matters pertaining to Cal Cities policy.

3. Registering with the Credentials Committee. The voting delegate, or alternates, may pick up the city's voting card at the voting delegate desk in the conference registration area. Voting delegates and alternates must sign in at the voting delegate desk. Here they will receive a special sticker on their name badge and thus be admitted to the voting area at the General Assembly.

5. Voting. To cast the city's vote, a city official must have in their possession the city's voting card and voting tool; and be registered with the credentials committee. The voting card may be transferred freely between the voting delegate and alternates but may not be transferred to another city official who is neither a voting delegate nor alternate.

6. Voting Area at General Assembly. At the General Assembly, individuals with a voting card will sit in a designated area. Admission to the voting area will be limited to the individual in possession of the voting card and with a special sticker on their name badge identifying them as a voting delegate.

65 Sixty days before the
Annual Conference
and Expo, Cal Cities
members may submit
policy proposals on
issues of importance
to cities. The resolution must
have the concurrence of at least
five additional member cities or
individual members.

How it works: Cal Cities
Resolutions and the General Assembly
General Assembly
General Resolutions Policy Committees
Developing League of California Cities policy is a dynamic process that engages a wide range of members to ensure Cal Cities represents cities with one voice. These policies directly guide Cal Cities’ advocacy to promote local decision-making, and lobby against statewide policies that erode local control.

The resolutions process and General Assembly is one way that city officials can directly participate in the development of Cal Cities policy. If a resolution is approved at the General Assembly, it becomes official Cal Cities policy. Here’s how resolutions and the General Assembly work.

The petitioned
resolution is an
alternate method
to introduce policy
proposals during
the annual conference. The
petition must be signed by
voting delegates from 10% of
member cities, and submitted to
the Cal Cities President at least
24 hours before the beginning
of the General Assembly.

Petitioned Resolutions
The Cal Cities
President assigns
general resolutions
to policy committees
where members
review, debate, and recommend
positions for each policy proposal.

Recommendations are forwarded
to the Resolutions Committee.

Who’s who
The Resolutions Committee
includes representatives
from each Cal Cities
diversity caucus, regional
division, municipal
department, and policy
committee, as well as
individuals appointed by
the Cal Cities president.

Voting delegates
are appointed by each
member city; every city
has one voting delegate.

The General Assembly is a
meeting of the collective
body of all voting
delegates —one from
every member city.

Seven policy committees
meet throughout the year
to review and recommend
positions to take on bills
and regulatory proposals.

Policy committees include
members from each Cal
Cities diversity caucus,
regional division, and
municipal department,
as well as individuals
appointed by the Cal
Cities president.

During the General Assembly, voting delegates
debate and consider general and petitioned
resolutions forwarded by the Resolutions
Committee. Potential Cal Cities bylaws
amendments are also considered at this meeting.

Cal Cities policy
development is a memberinformed process,
grounded in the voices and
experiences of city officials
throughout the state.

Resolutions Committee
The Resolutions
Committee considers
all resolutions. General
Resolutions approved1 by
either a policy committee
or the Resolutions Committee are next
considered by the General Assembly.

General resolutions not approved, or
referred for further study by both a
policy committee and the Resolutions
Committee do not go to the General
Assembly. All Petitioned Resolutions
are considered by the General
Assembly, unless disqualified.2
During the Annual Conference and Expo
1 The Resolution Committee can amend a general resolution prior to sending it to the General Assembly. 2 Petitioned Resolutions may be disqualified by the Resolutions Committee according to Cal Cities Bylaws Article VI. Sec. 5(f). 66 This Page Left Blank Intentionally
