Safety Plan:

Premier Rinks has an excellent reputation for guest safety due to our attention to detail as it pertains to ice maintenance, training, staffing plan, rink capacity, and site plan.

Our upper management team holds certifications for ice maintenance from the US Ice Rink Association, and that knowledge is passed down to all staff, including the rink manager. This keeps the ice conditions at optimal levels as much as the weather permits. Our staff is trained specifically to keep guests safe and minimize on-ice injuries.

Our events are designed the site plan with safety in mind. We optimize sightlines so that all staff can see the ice surface even if we’re assisting a guest at the skate rental counter.

Premier Rinks shall maintain reports for incidents that arise in the Premier Rinks defined Event Premises. For serious injuries, the protocol is to dial 911. For all minor injuries, Premier Rinks will provide basic first aid.

DISCUSSION:

The City of Selma continues to experience residential, commercial, and industrial growth requiring significant public infrastructure investment. To assist with evaluating and implementing financing mechanisms that support these improvements, the City issued an Informal Request for Proposals (RFP) for Infrastructure Financing Advisory Services in accordance with the City's Purchasing Policy.

The requested services include evaluation of financing mechanisms such as Enhanced Infrastructure Financing Districts (EIFDs), Community Facilities Districts (CFDs), and other available public financing tools, along with preparation of supporting financial analyses and implementation assistance.

The City received proposals from the following qualified firms:
• Keyser Marston Associates/NBS
• Kosmont Companies
• NHA Advisors
• Willdan Financial Services
Proposals were evaluated based on the criteria established in the RFP, including relevant experience and qualifications, project approach, project team, cost, and references. 209
Based on the evaluation, Kosmont Companies was determined to be the most qualified firm.

Kosmont demonstrated extensive experience in infrastructure financing and the formation of Enhanced Infrastructure Financing Districts (EIFDs) throughout California, including successful projects within the Central Valley. Their proposed scope of services closely aligns with the City's immediate objective of evaluating and implementing an infrastructure financing strategy to support future economic development projects.

Accordingly, staff recommends selecting Kosmont Companies and authorizing the City Manager to execute the documents necessary to effectuate the services.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The proposed Professional Services Agreement is in an amount not to exceed $68,500.

Funding is available within the FY 2026-27 Budget.

D. City desires to engage Consultant to provide these services by reason of its qualifications and experience in performing such services
E. Consultant has submitted a proposal to City and has affirmed its willingness and ability to perform such work on the terms and manner set forth in this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of these recitals and the mutual covenants contained herein, the Parties agree as follows:

1. Scope of Work.

1.1 City retains Consultant, as an independent contractor, to perform, and Consultant agrees to render, those services (the "Services") that are described in the attached Exhibit "B," which is incorporated by this reference, pursuant to this Agreement’s terms and conditions.

1.2 Consultant will control the manner and the means of the work to be performed, and be responsible for the professional quality, technical accuracy and coordination of the Services. Consultant will, without additional compensation, correct or revise any errors or deficiencies in the Services.

1.3. Consultant will keep City informed on a regular basis that the Services are being performed in accordance with the requirement and intentions of this Agreement.

1.4 If applicable, Consultant has designated those persons listed in Exhibit “B” to provide the Services to the City. Consultant will not change or reassign those persons described in Exhibit “B” without prior written notice to City, and will not replace those individuals with individuals to whom City has a reasonable objection.

2. Standard of Performance. Consultant acknowledges that in entering into this Agreement the City is relying on Consultant's special skills and experience to do and perform the Services. While performing the Services, Consultant will exercise the reasonable professional care and skill customarily exercised by reputable members of Consultant's profession practicing in the Northern California area. The acceptance of the Services by City does not release Consultant from these obligations.

Consultant will be responsible for employing or engaging all persons necessary to perform the Services.

Consultant will control the manner and means of the services to be performed by its employees and 213
subconsultants. All of Consultant's staff will be qualified by training and experience to perform their assigned tasks. Consultant will give its personal attention to the fulfillment of the provisions of this Agreement by all of its employees and subcontractors, if any, and will keep the Services under its control.

On demand of City, if any employee or subcontractor of Consultant fails or refuses to carry out the provisions of this Agreement or appears to be incompetent or to act in a disorderly or improper manner, he or she will be discharged immediately from the Services.

3. Term. Unless earlier terminated, this Agreement shall become effective upon execution and shall remain in effect until completion of the Services described in Exhibit "B," unless extended by written amendment approved by the City.

4. Schedule. Consultant will generally adhere to the schedule set forth in Exhibit “B” provided, that City will grant reasonable extensions of time for the performance of the Services occasioned by unusually lengthy governmental reviews of Consultant’s work product or other unavoidable delays occasioned by unforeseen circumstances; provided, further, that such unavoidable delay will not include strikes, lockouts, work stoppages, or other labor disturbances conducted by, or on behalf of, Consultant’s officers or employees.

Consultant acknowledges the importance to City of City’s project schedule and agrees to put forth its best professional efforts to perform the Services in a manner consistent with that schedule. City understands, however, that Consultant’s performance must be governed by sound practices. Consultant will work such overtime or engage such personnel and equipment as necessary to maintain the schedule, without additional compensation.

5. Compensation.

5.1 The total fee payable for the Services to be performed during the term of this Agreement will be a not to exceed amount of dollars ($ ) as may be further specified in the attached Exhibit “B.” No other compensation for the Services will be allowed except for items covered by subsequent amendments to this Agreement.

5.3 Within thirty (30) days after receipt of any applicable progress payment request, City will verify the accuracy of the request, correct the charges where appropriate, and make payment to Consultant in an amount equal to the amount of such application, as verified or corrected by City. No payment made prior to completion and acceptance of the Services will constitute acceptance of any part of the Services.

City reserves the right to withhold payment from Consultant on account of Services not performed satisfactorily, delays in Consultant's performance of Services, or other defaults hereunder.

6. Status of Consultant. Consultant will perform the Services as an independent contractor, free from the control and direction of City, in pursuit of Consultant’s independent calling, and not as an employee of City.

The persons used by Consultant to provide the Services under this Agreement will not be considered employees of City for any purposes whatsoever and City will not pay any tax, workers’ compensation insurance, retirement contributions or unemployment contributions on behalf of Consultant or its employees or subcontractors. Consultant agrees to indemnify and pay City within thirty (30) days for any tax, retirement contribution, social security, overtime payment, unemployment payment or workers’ compensation payment, including, but not limited to, those based on any provision of the Federal Affordable Care Act, which City may be required to make on behalf of Consultant or any agent, employee, or contractor of Consultant for work done under this Agreement. The payment made to Consultant pursuant to the Agreement will be the full and complete compensation to which Consultant is entitled. City will not make any federal or state tax withholdings on behalf of Consultant or its agents, employees or subcontractors. 214
At the City’s election, City may deduct the amounts paid pursuant to this Section, from any balance owing to Consultant.

7. Subcontracting. Consultant's services are being requested by City because they are unique and personal.

Except as may be specified in Exhibit “B”, Consultant will not subcontract any portion of the Services without prior written approval of City Manager or his/her designee. If Consultant subcontracts any of the Services, Consultant will be fully responsible to City for the acts, errors and omissions of Consultant's subcontractor and of the persons either directly or indirectly employed by the subcontractor, as Consultant is for the acts and omissions of persons directly employed by Consultant. Nothing contained in this Agreement will create any contractual relationship between any subcontractor of Consultant and City. Consultant will be responsible for payment of subcontractors. Consultant will bind every subcontractor and every subcontractor of a subcontractor by the terms of this Agreement applicable to Consultant's work unless specifically noted to the contrary in the subcontract and approved in writing by City.

10. Insurance. Consultant will obtain and maintain, at its cost and expense, for the duration of the Agreement and any and all amendments, insurance against claims for injuries to persons or damage to property which may arise out of or in connection with performance of the Services by Consultant or Consultant’s agents, representatives, employees or subcontractors. The insurance will be obtained from an insurance carrier admitted and authorized to do business in the State of California.

10.1 Coverages and Limits. Consultant will maintain the types of coverages and minimum limits indicated below, unless Risk Manager or City Manager, in consultation with the City Attorney approves a lower amount. These minimum amounts of coverage will not constitute any limitations or cap on Consultant's indemnification obligations under this Agreement. City, its officers, agents, volunteers and employees make no representation that the limits of the insurance specified to be carried by Consultant pursuant to this Agreement are adequate to protect Consultant. The coverage will contain no special limitations on the scope of its protection to the above-designated insureds except for Workers Compensation and errors and omissions insurance. Consultant will obtain occurrence coverage, excluding Professional Liability, which will be written as claims-made coverage. If Consultant believes that any required insurance coverage is inadequate, Consultant will obtain such additional insurance coverage, as Consultant deems adequate, at Consultant's sole expense.

If the submitted policies contain aggregate limits, general aggregate limits will apply separately to the work under this Agreement or the general aggregate will be twice the required per occurrence limit.

Prior to City's execution of this Agreement, Consultant will furnish, to the satisfaction of the City, certificates of insurance and endorsements.

10.3 Cancellation. Insurance will be in force during the life of the Agreement and any extensions of it and will not be canceled without thirty (30) days prior written notice to City sent pursuant to the notice provisions of this Agreement.

10.4 Failure to Maintain Coverage. If Consultant fails to maintain any of these insurance coverages, then City will have the option to declare Consultant in breach of this Agreement, or may purchase replacement insurance or pay the premiums that are due on existing policies in order to maintain the required coverages. Consultant is responsible for any payments made by City to obtain or maintain insurance and City may collect these payments from Consultant or deduct the amount paid from any sums due Consultant under this Agreement.

10.5 Submission of Insurance Policies. City reserves the right to require, at any time, complete and certified copies of any or all required insurance policies and endorsements.

10.6 Primary Coverage. For any claims related to the Services and this Agreement, the Consultant’s insurance coverage will be primary insurance with respect to City, its officers, agents, volunteers and employees. Any insurance or self-insurance maintained by City for itself, its officers, agents, volunteers and employees, will be in excess of Consultant’s insurance and not contributory with it.

10.7 Reduction in Coverage/Material Changes. Consultant will notify City in writing pursuant to the notice provisions of this Agreement thirty (30) days prior to any reduction in any of the insurance coverage required pursuant to this Agreement or any material changes to the respective insurance policies.

In the event this Agreement is terminated, all Work Product produced by Consultant or its agents, employees and subcontractors pursuant to this Agreement will be delivered to City pursuant to the termination clause of this Agreement. Consultant will have the right to make one (1) copy of the Work Product for Consultant’s records.

13.2 The Work Product may be used by City and its agents, employees, representatives, and assigns, in whole or in part, or in modified form, for all purposes City may deem advisable, without further employment of or payment of any compensation to Consultant; provided, however, that if this Agreement is terminated for any reason prior to completion of the Project and if under such circumstances City uses, 216
or engages the services of and directs another consultant to use, the Work Product, City agrees to hold Consultant harmless from any and all liability, costs, and expenses relative to claims arising out of matters and/or events which occur subsequent to the termination of this Agreement as a result of causes other than the fault or negligence of Consultant, or anyone for whose acts it is responsible, in preparation of the Work Product.

Consultant has five (5) business days to deliver any documents owned by City and all work in progress to City address contained in this Agreement. City will make a determination of fact based upon the work product delivered to City and of the percentage of work that Consultant has performed which is usable and of worth to City in having the Agreement completed. Based upon that finding City will determine the final payment of the Agreement. In the event City elects to terminate, City will have the right to immediate possession of all Work Product and work in progress prepared by Consultant, whether located at the project site, at Consultant's place of business, or at the offices of a subconsultant.

23. Claims And Lawsuits. By signing this Agreement, Consultant agrees that any Agreement claim submitted to City must be asserted as part of the Agreement process as set forth in this Agreement and not in anticipation of litigation or in conjunction with litigation. Consultant acknowledges that if a false claim is submitted to City by Consultant, it may be considered fraud and Consultant may be subject to criminal prosecution. Consultant acknowledges that California Government Code sections 12650 et seq., the False Claims Act, applies to this Agreement and, provides for civil penalties where a person knowingly submits a false claim to a public entity. These provisions include false claims made with deliberate ignorance of the false information or in reckless disregard of the truth or falsity of information. If City seeks to recover penalties pursuant to the False Claims Act, it is entitled to recover its litigation costs, including attorney's fees. Consultant acknowledges that the filing of a false claim may subject Consultant to an administrative debarment proceeding as the result of which Consultant may be prevented to act as a Consultant on any public work or improvement for a period of up to five (5) years. Consultant acknowledges debarment by another jurisdiction is grounds for City to terminate this Agreement. 218

The acceptance by either Party of any fee or other payment which may become due under this Agreement will not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach or violation by the other Party of any term, covenant, or condition of this Agreement or any applicable law.

7 PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
Kosmont understands that the City is considering potential implementation of a special purpose Tax Increment Financing (“TIF”) district, such as an EIFD or a Climate Resilience District (“CRD”), to help fund critical infrastructure serving the City. We understand that the City is actively planning for continued residential, commercial, industrial, and mixed-use development. Several significant projects are anticipated over the coming years that will require major investmentsin public infrastructure, including, but not limited to • Transportation improvements
• Sewer and water infrastructure
• Storm drainage facilities
• Parks and recreation facilities
• Public facilities
• Utility improvements
• Streetscape enhancements
The City desires to establish a long-term financing strategy that leverages public and private investment while minimizing impacts on the General Fund. The selected consultant will evaluate available financing tools and assist the City in implementing the most appropriate financing strategy.

Approach to Tasks: The prospective assignment and consulting services that Kosmont will provide will be of a relatively limited scope and duration, and advisory in nature. Kosmont will be making recommendations only, which advise the Client and jurisdictions, including its elected officials, appointed officials and staff, which they can accept or reject. None of Kosmont's staff will act in a capacity as an elected official, nor appointed official, nor as staff, nor as serving in a "designated" position.

Task 1: Financing Strategy Assessment
Kosmont will review existing City planning documents, capital improvement needs, development activity, and previously completed financial analyses. Kosmont will then convene an introductory briefing with City staff to discuss and confirm City objectives, infrastructure priorities, and available financing tools. Kosmont will be prepared to discuss requirements and guidelines for the relevant financing tool statutes, including precedent in other jurisdictions. Kosmont will identify and evaluate potential boundary alternatives for one or more TIF districts within the City. Kosmont will analyze key strategic implementation considerations, including:
• Property ownership
• Planned / proposed future development
• Infrastructure needs and estimated costs
• Potential public and private sector partners (e.g., County of Fresno, other affected taxing entities, developers / property owners)
• Overlap with former Redevelopment Agency Project Area boundaries and status of redevelopment dissolution.

AND APPROACH

CITY OF SELMA
Infrastructure Financing Advisory Services
Task 1 summary findings will include a discussion of:
• Appropriate financing mechanism(s)
• Implementation strategy
• Anticipated revenues
• Infrastructure priorities
• Implementation schedule
• Risks and opportunities
Task 2: Updated Financial Analysis
Kosmont will prepare updated financial analyses to support a recommended financing strategy, including a tax increment revenue analysis that reflects potential future development and potential public and private sector partners. The analysis will identify:
• Potential assessed value increase from future development in the district • Property tax increment funding capacity at select annual benchmarks and cumulatively over the estimated district lifetime(s)
• Different levels of tax increment revenue allocation by taxing entity (e.g., 25%, 50%) • Initial estimates of potential bonding capacity to be provided by Kosmont Financial Services, registered Municipal Advisor
• Complementary economic development tools and funding resources (e.g., community facilities district [CFD] financing, grants, leverage of City-owned real estate assets, outstanding debt refinancing strategies, zoning incentive programs)
• As related to potential overlap of proposed district boundaries with former redevelopment agency project areas, analysis of corresponding relevant outstanding enforceable obligations and implications on available revenues
• Fiscal impact analysis.

Kosmont will evaluate and summarize feasible governance and implementation alternatives, including district governing board composition, voting / approval procedures, district formation milestones, debt issuance procedures, and estimated timing, in order to provide potential public and private sector stakeholders with an illustrative “roadmap” for implementation.

Task 3: Financing District Formation
Kosmont will work with City staff and the City Attorney’s office with the preparation of requisite documentation for the Resolution of Intention (“ROI”) to form the financing district, including appropriate designation of the governing Public Financing Authority (“PFA”) board members. Kosmont will assist with coordination and presentation at the required meeting of the City Council to adopt the ROI and will assist with required noticing of the ROI following the City Council action. Kosmont anticipates one City Council meeting as part of this task (in-person or virtual as deemed mutually appropriate by the City and Kosmont).

Kosmont will collaborate with City staff and appropriate third-party consultants (e.g., special counsel, engineering / surveying consultants) on the preparation of the required Infrastructure Financing Plan (“IFP”) and related appendices. The IFP must include a legal description of district boundaries, public improvementsto be implemented, 233

location, timing, and costs of development and financial assistance, finalized tax increment projections, intention to incur debt (e.g., bonds), district termination date, taxing entity fiscal impact analysis, and replacement housing obligations.

Kosmont will assist City staff (e.g., Clerk’s office) in the required distribution of the IFP to property owners within the financing district and to affected taxing entities. Kosmont will assist in drafting and coordinating the required noticing (e.g., website, mailing, newspaper notices) of the PFA meeting and hearings for IFP approval and financing district formation.

Kosmont will assist in coordination, preparation, and presentation of required materials at the required City Council meeting and PFA meetings and hearings to approve the IFP and form the EIFD. While Kosmont is not an attorney, we will provide draft content for required resolutions for review by the City Attorney and/or special counsel. Kosmont anticipates two PFA public meetings, two PFA public hearings, and one City Council meeting as part of this task (inperson or virtual as deemed mutually appropriate by the City and Kosmont).

Following adoption of the IFP at the second PFA public hearing, Kosmont will assist City staff in completing the required filing for Change of Jurisdictional Boundaries with the State Board of Equalization.

Task 4: Implementation Assistance
Kosmont will assist City staff through completion of district formation, including presentations to the City Council and other public agencies, coordination with affected taxing entities, and support during implementation.

10 COST PROPOSAL
The compensation for Tasks 1 through 4 is outlined below for professional services (hourly) fees at Consultant’s billing rates as reflected in Appendix A.

Budget may be increased by Client request at any point in time. Task budgets may be allocated between Tasks as deemed appropriate by Consultant to provide adequate services to the Client.

Timing for Tasks 1 and 2 (Financing Strategy Assessment and Updated Financial Analysis) is estimated within two (2) to three (3) months. Timing for Tasks 3 and 4 (financing district formation and implementation) is difficult to predict, primarily given dependence on availability of required stakeholders.

Overview of Thrift
and Resale Store Regulations
in the City of Selma
245
ITEM NO: 5-6

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE:

SUBJECT:

SUBMITTED:

APPROVED:

August 18th, 2026
Overview of Thrift and Resale Store Regulations in the City of Selma Bonique Emerson
Jason Rogers, City Manager
RECOMMENDATION:

Receive and file the report providing an overview of the City’s historical and current land use regulations applicable to thrift and resale stores.

DISCUSSION:

Background and Regulatory History
The City’s regulation of thrift stores has changed substantially since the original zoning provisions were adopted in 1976. Under the former ordinance, thrift stores were permitted only when operated by nonprofit organizations and approved through a Conditional Use Permit. For-profit thrift stores and other businesses primarily engaged in the sale of used goods were not permitted in commercial zones. Despite those restrictions, three thrift stores were identified as operating without Conditional Use Permits (Third Times a Charm, High Street Boutique & Bison Exchange). In 2020, another thrift store prepared to open, bringing outdated and inconsistently enforced provisions to the City Council’s attention. The 2020 staff report acknowledged that the existing code effectively prohibited thrift stores unless they were operated by nonprofit corporations with approved CUPs and that the provisions had not been consistently enforced.

On November 2, 2020, the City Council considered several possible regulatory approaches, including allowing thrift stores by right, requiring administrative approval, or requiring a full Conditional Use Permit. The Council directed staff to return with an interim urgency ordinance while permanent regulations were studied.

On November 9, 2020, the City Council adopted an urgency ordinance temporarily eliminating the nonprofit ownership restriction and CUP requirement for thrift stores, antique stores, consignment stores, and similar businesses dealing in used goods. The interim ordinance was initially effective for 45 days.

On December 7, 2020, the City Council adopted an amended and extended urgency ordinance for an additional 10 months and 15 days. The amended ordinance temporarily allowed thrift stores, antique stores, and other businesses engaged in the wholesale or retail sale of used goods in commercial zones.

The amended urgency ordinance also established the following limitations:
• Used goods and donations were required to be received on the business premises; and
246
• Donations could not be accepted outside the primary structure; and • A used-goods business could not be located within 300 feet of another used-goods business; and
• No commercial zone could contain more than two such businesses unless a Conditional Use Permit was approved.

The staff report stated that a permanent ordinance was anticipated for consideration in mid2021. However, the records reviewed do not confirm that a permanent ordinance was adopted during that period. The 300-foot separation requirement and the limit of two usedgoods businesses per commercial zone therefore appear to have operated only as temporary standards under the interim urgency ordinance.
2024 Zoning Code Update

In August 2024, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2024-6 as part of the comprehensive Zoning Code Update. The updated code established the City’s current permanent regulatory framework for thrift and resale stores.

Under Selma Municipal Code Section 11-2.4(C), thrift and resale stores require approval of a Conditional Use Permit when located in a commercial zoning district. Ordinance No. 2024-6 permanently eliminated the former requirement that thrift stores be operated only by nonprofit organizations. The 2024 Zoning Code did not carry forward the 300-foot separation requirement or the limit of two thrift or used-goods businesses per commercial zone that appeared in the 2020 interim urgency ordinance. Accordingly, the current code does not establish a numerical cap or minimum separation requirement for thrift stores.

Each proposed thrift or resale store is instead evaluated individually through the CUP process.

Recent Thrift and Resale Businesses Approved Under the Current Code • Lovely Little Things, 2025 High Street (Central Business District Zone District — CUP Plan 25-10, approved in 2025.
• My Vintage & Thrift, 1971 High Street (Central Business District Zone District — CUP Plan 25-21, approved in 2025.

Other Existing Thrift and Resale Businesses Identified
• Third Times a Charm, 2033 Second Street (Central Business District Zone District) — No CUP record located; business license was issued in 2024. • High Street Boutique, 1965 High Street (Central Business District Zone District) — No CUP record located; business license was issued in 2021. • Bison Exchange, 2017 2nd Street (Central Business District Zone District) — No CUP record located; business license was issued in 2025. • Extending Hands Thrift Store, 1701 Whitson Street (Community Commercial Zone District) — CUP No. 2016-50; business license was issued in 2016. 247
Conclusion

This report is provided for the City Council's information regarding the historical development of the City's regulation of thrift and resale stores and the current requirements of the Selma Municipal Code. Under the current zoning regulations, thrift and resale stores require approval of a Conditional Use Permit in commercial zoning districts, and the Municipal Code does not establish minimum separation distances or numerical limits on such businesses. Existing thrift and resale operations without a CUP on file may require further review to determine their entitlement status under current and prior regulations, particularly if future expansion, remodeling, or significant operational changes are proposed.
