The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is a long-term plan that outlines major infrastructure projects a city or government plans to complete over several years. These projects include things like road repairs, new parks, public buildings, and water system upgrades. The CIP helps prioritize and budget for these big projects, ensuring the community's needs are met while managing financial resources wisely. It typically spans multiple years and is updated regularly to reflect changing priorities and funding availability.

The City of Shafter has maintained a general fund surplus in recent years, contributing to one of the healthiest reserve levels in the region. The City Council adopted the current budget as a balanced budget, ensuring fiscal responsibility. While we are now experiencing a sharp decline in sales tax revenue, projections indicate that we will still conclude the fiscal year with a surplus. This year-to-date budget update provides valuable insight into the City's financial status. For any questions or further clarification, the Finance Director is available for discussion.

CITY OF SHAFTER
CITY COUNCIL REPORT
MEETING DATE: August 4, 2026
DEPARTMENT: Kyle Ditty, Finance Analyst II
SUBJECT: Accept Treasurer's Report: June 2026
RECOMMENDATION
Council find the action is not defined as a “project” per Section 15378(b)(4) of the CEQA Guidelines; and accept the Treasurer’s Report for June 2026.
BACKGROUND
California government code section 41004 requires that the City Treasurer submit to the City Clerk and the legislative body a written report and accounting of all receipts, disbursements, and fund balances. The accompanying report for June meets this Government Code requirement, as well as the requirements of other sections of the Government Code and the City’s Investment Policy.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact resulting from the acceptance of the monthly Treasurer’s Report.
CEQA ANALYSIS
The action is not defined as a “project” per Section 15378(b)(4) of the CEQA Guidelines because the action is the acceptance of a treasurer's report and therefore, it is governmental fiscal activity that does not involve any commitment to a specific project that can result in a potentially significant impact and not subject to CEQA.

City of Shafter, CA
YTD Budget Update as of 07/20/2026
Welcome to the City’s Budget Status Report, prepared by the Finance Department to deliver a transparent and detailed update on current budget performance. This report, presented on a monthly or quarterly basis, is crafted to inform the City Council and our valued citizens about the current state of the City’s finances. It compares the revised budget to year-to-date (YTD) actuals, providing a clear picture of our progress against the financial plan.
For additional context, we include YTD figures from the prior year for the same period, along with variance explanations to highlight key diƯerences and trends.
To oƯer a longer-term view, this report includes a six-year Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR), illustrating the City’s financial trajectory over time. The report covers a comprehensive range of areas, including citywide operations, the General Fund, Enterprise Funds, Internal Service Funds, Special Revenue Funds, Capital Improvement Program (CIP), and Capital Expenditures (CAPEX). Throughout, you’ll find tables, charts, and detailed analysis to enhance understanding and support informed decision-making. Please note that the results presented are subject to change during year-end adjustments, which may include interest income allocation, interfund charges, year-end accruals, and other refinements. Our aim is to provide an accessible, data-driven overview that underscores our commitment to fiscal responsibility and accountability.
Financial Analysis Approach
Analyzing financial data at a citywide level is both impractical and irrelevant due to the diƯering accounting practices among various entities, such as full accrual versus modified accrual. Combining governmental and enterprise funds makes it unfeasible to accurately summarize financial results.
Additionally, interfund charges may be duplicated when consolidating information, leading to potential misrepresentation. Therefore, financial data is best analyzed at the individual fund level. Later in this report, more detailed insights are provided into the General Fund, Water, Sewer, Refuse, and other specific funds.
Why Include Citywide Data?
If citywide analysis has limitations, why present it? Despite its challenges, a broad financial overview provides key insights. For example, understanding total labor costs and their trends can be valuable. It also helps assess labor costs as a percentage of overall operating expenses and evaluates the impact of utilities, such as power, on city operations. While this perspective oƯers useful context, the primary focus of this report remains on individual funds, where a more detailed financial analysis is provided.
Note: Citywide data applies only to the city's operational funds and excludes fiduciary and agency funds.
Citywide Budget Comparison
The table below compares the citywide revised budget for operating expenses against current year-to-date (YTD) actuals. For context, YTD actuals from the same period last year are also included, along with year-over-year (YoY) changes. Additionally, a six-year Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) is provided to highlight long-term trends. Red values within the CAGR indicate areas of high expense growth, which may signal financial concerns. These increases could be attributed to personnel expansion, service level adjustments, or inflationary pressures over the past few years.
The largest operating expense category is labor cost which represents of the total operating expenses.

The General Fund budget and financial information are subject to changes throughout the year as authorized by the City Council. Actual amounts are also subject to audits and year-end adjustments, including accruals, allocations, internal charges, and transfers.
The following table presents General Fund operating revenues and expenditures, excluding capital expenditures and CIP. This distinction is made because operating expenses are ongoing, whereas capital expenditures are typically one-time purchases that can be more easily controlled during periods of fiscal distress.
This table provides an overview of the General Fund, highlighting that approximately 90% of operating revenues come from taxes. On the expenditure side, labor costs represent the largest category. The summary table compares the budget to YTD actuals and prior-year figures while also including a sixPage 199 of 322 year Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) to illustrate long-term trends.

The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is a long-term plan that outlines major infrastructure projects a city or government plans to complete over several years. These projects include things like road repairs, new parks, public buildings, and water system upgrades. The CIP helps prioritize and budget for these big projects, ensuring the community's needs are met while managing financial resources wisely. It typically spans multiple years and is updated regularly to reflect changing priorities and funding availability.

The City of Shafter has maintained a general fund surplus in recent years, contributing to one of the healthiest reserve levels in the region. The City Council adopted the current budget as a balanced budget, ensuring fiscal responsibility. While we are now experiencing a sharp decline in sales tax revenue, projections indicate that we will still conclude the fiscal year with a surplus. This year-to-date budget update provides valuable insight into the City's financial status. For any questions or further clarification, the Finance Director is available for discussion.

CITY COUNCIL REPORT
MEETING DATE: August 4, 2026
DEPARTMENT: Paula Soto, GIS Coordinator
SUBJECT: SMALL GOVERNMENT ENTERPRISE LICENSE ANNUAL
RENEWAL WITH ESRI, INC. (MAPPING SERVICES) APPROVAL
RECOMMENDATION
Council find the action is not a “project” as defined by Section 15378(b)(4) of the CEQA Guidelines; and authorize the GIS Coordinator to approve the annual renewal payment of City's Small Government Enterprise License Agreement in the amount of $42,200 by way of Quote #26358463, dated June 8, 2026, to Environmental Systems Research Institute, Inc. (ESRI) for continued use of citywide mapping resources.
BACKGROUND
Departments throughout the City continue to rely on the City's Enterprise Geographic Information System (GIS) to support daily operations. Enterprise GIS applications, maps, dashboards, and mobile tools provide staff with timely, reliable information both in the office and in the field. Access to centralized spatial data enables staff to make informed decisions regarding City infrastructure, assets, maintenance activities, planning efforts, public safety operations, and other day-to-day business functions. In doing so, it allows different City departments to better serve the community. This annual renewal represents the second payment under the City's current three-year Small Government Enterprise Agreement (SGEA) with Esri. The agreement remains in effect through August 2028, with an annual cost of $42,200.
Staff across multiple departments continue to leverage GIS dashboards, mobile applications, and interactive web maps to access current information, collect field data, and streamline daily workflows. These tools reduce redundant data entry, improve communication between departments, and provide decision-makers with current information when responding to operational needs. All of these services are made possible through our SGEA, and have now become integral into many departments' decision-making process. One of the most significant initiatives this fiscal year is the implementation of RIMS Map 18 for the Police Department. This project modernizes the department's mapping capabilities while replacing legacy infrastructure with a webbased platform integrated into the City's Enterprise GIS environment. Additionally, the GIS Division plans to bolster our ability to handle GIS server outages with an installation of ArcGIS Monitor in Q1 of FY 2026/27. This new system will enable staff to identify and resolve performance issues before they impact users. These enhanced

SERVICES) APPROVAL

monitoring capabilities will reduce reliance on third-party technical support, improve system reliability and response times while also lowering long-term support costs.
FISCAL IMPACT
Operational funds from multiple city departments have been allocated in the Fiscal Year 2026-2027 operating budget to adequately absorb the annual renewal cost of $42,200.
No additional fiscal action is required.
CEQA ANALYSIS
The action is not a “project” as defined by Section 15378(b)(4) of the CEQA Guidelines because it is the approval of the annual renewal payment to Environmental Systems Research Institute, Inc. (ESRI) for continued use of citywide mapping resources. The action constitutes a governmental fiscal activity that does not commit funds to a specific project with the potential to result in a significant environmental impact.

City's Enterprise Fiber Fund will absorb cost associated with annual operating services payment to Smart Fiber Networks; no additional fiscal action is needed at this time.
CEQA ANALYSIS
The action is not a “project” as defined by Section 15378(b)(4) of the CEQA Guidelines because it is the approval of an annual payment for operating services to Smart Fiber Networks. The action constitutes a governmental fiscal activity that does not commit funds to a specific project with the potential to result in a significant environmental impact.

CITY COUNCIL REPORT
MEETING DATE: August 4, 2026
DEPARTMENT: Marcos Torres, Deputy Public Works Director SUBJECT: 96" DECK MOWER PURCHASE VIA OMNIA COOPERATIVE
RECOMMENDATION
Council find the action is not a “project” as defined by Section 15378(b)(4) of the CEQA Guidelines; accept the proposal submitted by California Turf Equipment & Supply, Inc. for the purchase of one (1) Exmark 96-inch Lazer Diesel commercial mower though the OMNIA Partners Cooperative Purchasing Program in the total amount of $49,076.53; and authorize the Public Works Director to execute all necessary purchase documents.
BACKGROUND
The Public Works Department is responsible for maintaining parks, sports fields, landscaped areas, and public facilities throughout the City. As the City continues to grow and additional park acreage is added, the demand for efficient and reliable mowing operations has increased.
The City currently utilizes a commercial deck mower to perform routine mowing operations. While that equipment has served the department well, a second large-area mower is needed to improve productivity, reduce mowing times, and provide operational redundancy during scheduled maintenance or unexpected equipment downtime. The proposed mower features a 96-inch cutting deck and a commercialgrade diesel engine specifically designed to maintain large turf areas efficiently while producing a high-quality cut.
Staff obtained pricing through the OMNIA Partners Cooperative Purchase Program (Contract No. 20469), which provides competitively solicited pricing available to participating public agencies. Purchasing through this cooperative is consistent with Section 2.68.030(19) of the City's Purchasing Ordinance No. 768, which authorizes cooperative purchasing when determined to be in the best interest of the City.
FISCAL IMPACT
The total purchase cost for the Exmark 96-inch Lazer Diesel commercial mower is $49,076.53, including applicable sales tax. Staff recommends funding the purchase through the Parks Division equipment budget. Current Fiscal Year 2026-2027 included a budget item of $50,000 for the purchase of a new mower. No additional budget action is required.
96" DECK MOWER PURCHASE VIA OMNIA COOPERATIVE
- 2 -
CEQA ANALYSIS
The action is not a “project” as defined by Section 15378(b)(4) of the CEQA Guidelines because it is the purchase of a 96-inch deck mower. The action constitutes a governmental fiscal activity that does not commit funds to a specific project with the potential to result in a significant environmental impact.

CITY COUNCIL REPORT
MEETING DATE: August 4, 2026
DEPARTMENT: Alex Gonzalez, Public Works Director
SUBJECT: ACCEPTANCE OF DEDICATION OF EASEMENT FOR STREET
AND PUBLIC UTILITY PURPOSES FOR EXPRESS AVENUE AND
RESNICK WAY
RECOMMENDATION
Council find the action is not a “project” as defined by Section 15378(b)(5) of the CEQA Guidelines; accept one (1) dedication of easement for street and public utility purposes for Express Avenue and Resnick Way from Wonderful Real Estate Development LLC and Lot 29 Property LLC; and authorize the City Engineer to execute and record the easement document and any necessary and related items.
BACKGROUND
Wonderful Real Estate Development LLC is developing industrial property within the City of Shafter. As part of the development, the property owners have granted the City a perpetual easement for street and public utility purposes to accommodate the construction, operation, maintenance, repair, reconstruction, alteration, and removal of public street improvements, utilities, landscaping, walls, appurtenant structures, and related public infrastructure.
The easement encompasses approximately 23.93 acres and provides right-of-way for the Express Avenue and Resnick Way extensions. The dedication includes property owned by Wonderful Real Estate Development LLC and Lot 29 Property LLC, as depicted in Exhibits "A" and "B" of the easement document.
Acceptance of the easement will allow the City to obtain the necessary property rights for future public street and utility improvements consistent with the approved development.
FISCAL IMPACT
The easement dedication is being granted to the City at no cost. Future City budgets will include costs associated with operating and maintaining the public improvements constructed within the easement area. No budget action is necessary at this time.
CEQA ANALYSIS
The action is not a “project” as defined by Section 15378(b)(5) of the CEQA Guidelines because it is the acceptance of dedication of an easement for street and public utility

CITY COUNCIL REPORT
MEETING DATE: August 4, 2026
DEPARTMENT: Alan Cazares, Associate Planner
SUBJECT: TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO. 7498
RECOMMENDATION
Council find the action has already complied with the California Environmental Quality Act; conduct a public hearing; and adopt Resolution 3106, a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Shafter finding that no further environmental review is required pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 because the project is within the scope of the previously adopted Mitigated Negative Declaration (SCH No. 2026020740), and none of the conditions requiring a subsequent or supplemental environmental document have occurred, and approving Tentative Tract Map No. 7498, as depicted in Exhibit “A” with Conditions of Approval as shown in Exhibit “B”, to allow the residential subdivision of an approximate 40-acre site into 177 lots located to the southeast and southwest of the intersection of E Los Angeles Avenue and S Mannel Avenue (APNs 028-290-03 and 028-290-04).
BACKGROUND
The property owner, V Lions Holdings, LLC. is requesting approval of a tentative tract map to subdivide approximately 40 gross acres into 176 single-family residential lots and 1 sump lot. The proposed subdivision includes residential lots ranging in size from 6,800 square feet to 11,000 square feet. The tract is proposed in 4 phases. Phase 1 will include 46 single-family residences and the sump. Phase 2 will have 41 SFR lots, Phase 3 will have 50 SFR lots and Phase 4 will have the final 39 SFR lots. The current zoning is Low Density Residential (R-1), and the General Plan land use designation is Low Density Residential (LDR). The elementary and Jr High school district is Richland Union School District, and Kern County High School District.
Both S Mannel Avenue and Tasso Street will be developed as local streets providing entry to the tract off of E Los Angeles Ave. A temporary barricade will be set up at the south end of the tract at the end of Rue Avenue until future development is proposed south of this site. The drainage basin will be located at the southwest corner of the tract and will be dedicated to the City of Shafter at final map. The Developer proposes to build a 6-foot-high decorative CMU block wall around the tract perimeter.
The proposed tentative tract map has been designed to be consistent with both the lot sizes and the design elements required by the Shafter Zoning Ordinance. To the best of staff’s combined knowledge, the proposed project satisfies the applicable ordinances
TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO. 7498
- 2 -
and regulations at this stage of the development process. Moreover, staff have compiled a list of conditions of approval that reflect additional necessary requirements and rules that the project proponent will have to satisfy and comply with in the ongoing development of this property.
GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY
The proposed residential project is consistent with the adopted Shafter Zoning Ordinance, and the lot size, configuration, and density meet the requirements for the R1 zone. The internal circulation plan, street configuration, and proposed improvements are all consistent with the City’s requirements.
PLANNING COMMISSION REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATION
The Planning Commission considered the tentative tract map on July 14, 2026. The Planning Commission unanimously approved and adopted Resolution No. 26-486, recommending the City Council approve the tentative tract map (Tentative Tract No. 7498) subject to the recommended conditions of approval.
FINDINGS
The Shafter Subdivision Ordinance (Title 16) and the California Subdivision Map Act authorize the Shafter City Council to approve (or deny) a map only upon making certain findings supported by the evidence in the record of proceedings. These findings include whether:
1. The proposed map is consistent with the General Plan and any applicable specific plan approved by the City Council;
2. The design and/or improvements of the proposed subdivision are consistent with the General Plan and any applicable specific plan;
3. The site is physically suitable for the proposed type and density of development;
4. The design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements are likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure wildlife or their habitat;
5. The design of the subdivision or the type of improvements is likely to cause serious public health problems;
6. The design of the subdivision or the type of improvements proposed will conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of property within the proposed subdivision.
7. The proposed subdivision is consistent with California Government Code Section 66412.3 in that it balances the housing needs of the region against the public service needs of the City’s residents and available fiscal and environmental resources.
8. The design of the subdivision provides, to the extent feasible, for future passive or natural heating or cooling opportunities in the subdivision.
TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO. 7498
- 3 -
9. The discharge of waste from the proposed subdivision into the existing sewer system will not result in a violation of existing requirements prescribed by the Regional Water Quality Control Board.
In addition, since this is a residential subdivision project, the California Housing Accountability Act applies, and the project cannot be denied unless the City Council determines, by preponderance of the evidence, that the project would have a specific, adverse impact upon the public health or safety unless the project is disapproved or approved upon the condition that the project be developed at a lower density.
A “specific, adverse impact” means a significant, quantifiable, direct, and unavoidable impact, based on objective, identified written public health or safety standards, policies, or conditions as they existed on the date the application was deemed complete.
Pursuant to Government Code section 65589.5 (a)(3) it is the intent of the Legislature that the conditions that would have a specific, adverse impact upon the public health and safety arise infrequently. For the reasons set forth in this report, we note that the findings for approval of this subdivision can be made. Moreover, the City has no applicable objective, identified written public health or safety standards that can be applied to deny approval of the proposed subdivision.
ALTERNATIVES
1. Disapprove the tentative map. Government Code §66474 of the Subdivision Map Act specifies that the Council may only deny the tentative map if it can be found that the map design or improvements are inconsistent with the General Plan, the type or density of development are physically unsuitable for the site, it is likely that the development will cause environmental damage, it is likely that the development will cause serious public health problems, or that the design will conflict with public easements. None of the required findings for denial apply to the proposed map. Staff do not recommend this option.
2. Delay approval of the tentative map. The City Council is required by Government Code §66452.2 to take action on the tentative map within 30 days of the filing of the recommendation from the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the tentative map on July 14, 2026, so final action by the Council is needed before August 13, 2026. Since there are no other City Council meetings scheduled before the aforementioned date, Council should not delay the map any further. Staff do not recommend this option.
3. Take no action on the tentative map. If the City Council takes no action on the map prior to August 13, 2026, Government Code §66452.4 stipulates that the map is automatically deemed approved. Staff do not recommend this option.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact directly resulting from the approval of the tentative tract map.
Indirectly, the approval may expedite the development of the residential project.
Development of residential projects typically result in increased one-time building
TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO. 7498
- 4 -
related revenues and annual property tax revenues. These revenues are generally offset by the increased ongoing costs of providing services to the newly developed properties.
CEQA ANALYSIS
The project’s environmental impacts were previously evaluated under a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) that was adopted for General Plan Amendment No. 25-41 and Zone Change No. 25-74 (SCH No. 2026020740). Staff have determined that the tract map is within the scope of the original MND, and the MND adequately describes the activity of the residential development proposed in Tentative Tract No. 7498.
Therefore, no further CEQA action is required.

GENERAL
1. The owner(s), project proponent(s), and/or applicant(s) (hereinafter referred to as “Developer”), solely at their cost and expense, shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the City of Shafter (hereinafter referred to as “City”), its agents, legislative bodies, officers and employees regarding any legal or administrative action, claim or proceeding concerning approval of Tentative Tract No. 7498 and/or related actions including, without limitation, actions taken or not taken with respect to the California Environmental Quality Act (hereinafter referred to as “CEQA”); or, at its election and in the alternative, shall relinquish such approval.

Developer shall also reimburse the City, its agents, legislative bodies, officers and employees for any judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and attorneys' fees which the City, its agents, legislative bodies, officers and employees may be required to pay or otherwise pay because of such action, claim, or proceeding. The City may, at its sole discretion, participate at its own expense in the defense of any such action, claim or proceeding, but such participation shall not relieve Developer’s obligations under these conditions of approval (hereinafter referred to as “Conditions”).

You may be subject to inconveniences or discomfort arising from such operations on any 24-hour basis. Said discomforts may include, but not be limited to equipment noises, odors from manure or other chemicals, and dust or smoke. The City has determined that the use of real property for agricultural operations is a high priority and favored use to the City and Kern County and will not be considered a nuisance for those inconveniences or discomforts arising from agricultural operations, provided such operations are consistent with accepted customs, standards, and laws.”
4. Until all portions of the tentative tract have been developed, all vacant and undeveloped land, not being actively farmed, shall be maintained in a weed-free and clean manner by the Developer. Should said property not be so maintained, the City shall notify the property owner that the property is to be cleaned within thirty (30) days of receipt of said notice.

If the Developer wishes to change the street names at any point in time, a street name change request will need to be submitted to the Shafter Planning Department and approved prior to using any street names which were not approved with the tentative map.
10. If the Developer proposes to make any substantial changes to the approved tentative map contents, the Developer shall submit a Substantial Conformance application to the Planning Director for review and approval. In such case, the City may request a Change of Conditions to update any affected conditions of approval, as reasonably necessary.
11. Approved access shall be provided for each lot in accordance with City standards.
12. All roof-mounted air conditioning equipment shall be located on the rear portion of the roof ridge line in such a manner as to be screened as much as practical from view from public streets.
13.

147. BIO-1 San Joaquin Kit Fox (Vulpes macrotis mutica): Prior to ground disturbance, a preconstruction survey must be conducted 14 - 30 days within the Project Area and a 500-foot buffer to identify active or potential San Joaquin kit fox dens. a. If potential kit fox dens are observed within the Project Area, a 50-foot avoidance buffer should be implemented. If construction activities require the destruction of a potential den, then den monitoring shall be conducted by a qualified biologist for a minimum of 4 consecutive nights following the protocols set forth in the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Standardized Recommendations for the Protection of the Endangered San Joaquin Kit Fox Prior to or During Ground Disturbance (USFWS 2011). Known dens shall require an avoidance buffer of at least 100 feet. If a known den cannot be avoided, it shall be left undisturbed, and the monitoring biologist shall be contacted immediately. Natal dens found within the Project Area or within a 500-foot-buffer
19 surrounding the Project Area should be avoided and the USFWS and CDFW shall be contacted.
b. To prevent the entrapment of a San Joaquin kit fox or other wildlife, all steep walled, open trenches greater than 2 feet in depth should be covered at the end of each day. If covering an open excavation is not feasible, escape ramps made of earthen material or wooden planks at a 1:1- slope (45-degree angle) should be implemented. Trenches should be inspected in the morning prior to commencing work activities and prior to backfilling. If a San Joaquin kit fox or any other special-status species is found within the excavation, the monitoring biologist shall be contacted immediately. At no time should any personnel attempt to handle, corral, remove, or otherwise interact with the animal.
148. BIO-2 Swainson’s Hawk (Buteo swainsoni)
a. If construction activities are to take place during the nesting season (February - August), a preconstruction survey will be conducted 14 - 30 days prior to ground disturbing activities within the Project Area and a 500-foot buffer to identify individual and active nests. This survey can be conducted concurrently with the San Joaquin kit fox preconstruction survey described above, depending on the timing of the preconstruction survey. b. If any active Swainson’s hawk nest is found during the pre-construction survey, a qualified biologist will prescribe an appropriate buffer zone surrounding the nest and a plan to be implemented to prevent disruption of nesting activities. If nest disruption is not possible, CDFW should be contacted for guidance.
149. BIO-3 Tricolored blackbird (Agelaius tricolor)
a. If construction activities are to take place during the nesting season for tricolored blackbird (February - May), a preconstruction survey will be conducted 14 - 30 days prior to ground disturbing activities within the Project Area and a 500-foot buffer to identify individual tricolored blackbirds and active nests. This survey can be conducted concurrently with the San Joaquin kit fox pre-construction survey described above, depending on the timing of the preconstruction survey.
b. If any active tricolored blackbird nest sites are found during the pre-construction survey, a qualified biologist will prescribe an appropriate buffer zone surrounding the nest site and a plan to be implemented to prevent disruption of nesting activities. 150. BIO-4 Other Migratory Birds: Other migratory birds may use the proposed project site or surrounding lands for feeding, nesting, and roosting. In compliance with Sections 3503 and 3503.5 of the California Fish and Game Code and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, if construction activities are to occur during the nesting and breeding season (February 1 through August 31), a qualified biologist shall determine the presence of any native bird and raptor nests prior to construction activities. If any nests are identified, appropriate buffer zones will be established around any identified nests to prevent disruption of nesting.
If an adequate buffer zone cannot be established around any active nest, CDFW and USFWS will be contacted for guidance.
20 151. BIO-5 General Wildlife Avoidance Measures: To further ensure no special-status species are impacted by the project, the project will comply with the following general wildlife avoidance measures during the construction period.
a. All vehicles should implement a maximum 10mph speed limit within the Project Area or adhere to the posted speed limit.
b. To avoid the entrapment of any animal, all excavations greater than 2 feet should be backfilled by the end of day. If backfilling by the end of day is not possible, excavations should be covered in a way to prevent wildlife species from entering the excavation. If excavations cannot be covered, an earthen escape ramp or a ramp constructed of wooden planks should be implemented inside the excavation at a 1:1 slope (45 degrees). If any wildlife is found entrapped inside an open excavation, the biologist should be contacted immediately. All pipes, culverts, or similar structures staged onsite should be capped in a way to prevent the entry of wildlife. Such structures should be checked prior to moving to ensure no wildlife is entrapped inside. c. All food-related trash items including wrappers, cans, bottles, and scraps should be disposed of in a securely closed container and removed from the site at the end of each day.
d. No firearms or pets should be allowed onsite.
e. Any protected wildlife species that may venture onsite should be allowed to leave the site of their own accord. No attempt to handle or otherwise engage with the animal should be made. If after a reasonable amount of time the animal does not leave the project site, the biologist should be contacted.
152. CUL-1 If prehistoric or historic-era cultural materials are encountered during construction activities, all work in the immediate vicinity of the find shall halt until a qualified archaeologist can evaluate the find and make recommendations. Cultural resource materials may include prehistoric resources such as flaked and ground stone tools and debris, shell, bone, ceramics, and fire-affected rock as well as historic resources such as glass, metal, wood, brick, or structural remnants. If the qualified archaeologist determines that the discovery represents a potentially significant cultural resource, additional investigations may be required to mitigate adverse impacts from project implementation.
These additional studies may include avoidance, testing, and evaluation or data recovery excavation.
153. CUL-2 If human remains are discovered during construction or operational activities, further excavation or disturbance shall be prohibited pursuant to Section 7050.5 of the California Health and Safety Code.

MANAGEMENT REPORT
CITY OF SHAFTER
CITY COUNCIL REPORT
MEETING DATE: August 4, 2026
DEPARTMENT: Marco Martinez, City Attorney, Rachel Zermeno, Community Engagement Manager
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION APPROVING “GENERAL SHAFTER PARK” AS
THE NAME FOR THE COMMUNITY PARK LOCATED AT
FRESNO AVENUE AND CENTRAL VALLEY HIGHWAY
RECOMMENDATION
Council find that the action is not a “project” as defined by Section 15378(b)(5) of the CEQA Guidelines; and adopt Resolution 3107, a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Shafter approving "General Shafter Park" as the name for the community park located at Fresno Avenue and Central Valley Highway.
BACKGROUND
The North Shafter Park Project, located at Fresno Avenue and Central Valley Highway, began in 2020 following the City's successful award of a Proposition 68 grant, which was supported by extensive community outreach and engagement with North Shafter residents to identify the recreational amenities and park features most important to the neighborhood.
The park's design was developed to reflect the priorities and expectations expressed during that public engagement process. As the project advanced, the City Council authorized the use of local funds to expand the scope with additional improvements, including a pickleball court, off-site infrastructure improvements, and other amenities beyond those funded by the grant. Construction has progressed in phases as these enhancements were incorporated into the project. Upon completion, the park will provide a modern neighborhood park designed to serve the recreational needs of North Shafter residents and the broader community. The project is currently in its final stages, with completion anticipated in September 2026.
At the City Council meeting of July 16, 2026, the City Council considered options for naming the park, including the results of local engagement surveys of Shafter residents and Shafter youth providing recommendations for the name. After discussion, the Council directed that staff prepare a resolution officially naming the park as - “General Shafter Park.” The attached resolution would officially recognize the name and authorize the City Manager to take additional actions to implement that designation, including updating City records, maps, websites, and promotional materials, and taking any other administrative actions necessary to reflect the official park name.
RESOLUTION APPROVING “GENERAL SHAFTER PARK” AS THE NAME FOR THE COMMUNITY
PARK LOCATED AT FRESNO AVENUE AND CENTRAL VALLEY HIGHWAY - 2 -
FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed action is expected to have a minimal fiscal impact. Costs associated with officially designating the facility as “General Shafter Park” may include new park signage and minor updates to City maps, records, websites, promotional materials, and other public information.
Because the park remains under construction, staff anticipates that the official name can be incorporated into planned project signage and materials before completion, thereby minimizing the need to replace existing items. Any associated costs are expected to be absorbed within the existing North Shafter Park Project budget or applicable departmental operating budgets. No additional General Fund appropriation is requested at this time.
CEQA ANALYSIS
The action is not a “project” as defined by Section 15378(b)(5) of the CEQA Guidelines because it is the approval of a name for a community park, which is an organizational or administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes to the environment.

CITY COUNCIL REPORT
MEETING DATE: August 4, 2026
DEPARTMENT: Rogelio Sanchez, Finance Director, Randy Milligan, Police Chief, Isarel Perez-Hernandez, CMT, Deputy Finance Director
SUBJECT: CALIFORNIA HIGHWAY PATROL CANNABIS TAX FUND GRANT
PROGRAM AGREEMENT AND ACCEPT A GRANT AWARD IN
THE AMOUNT OF $298,500
RECOMMENDATION
Council find the action is not a “project” as defined by Section 15378(b)(4) of the CEQA Guidelines; adopt Resolution 3108, a Resolution of the City Council ofhte City of Shafter authorizing the City Manager to execute the California Highway Patrol Cannabis Tax Fund Grant Program Agreement; and accept a grant award in the amount of $298,500 for fiscal year 2026-2027 Impaired Driving Enforcement and Public Education Activities.
BACKGROUND
The California Highway Patrol administers the Cannabis Tax Fund Grant Program to provide competitive funding to local law enforcement agencies for projects that reduce impaired driving through enforcement, education, and prevention. The program is funded through revenues generated by California's cannabis excise tax and is intended to improve roadway safety throughout the state.
Earlier this year, the California Highway Patrol released the Fiscal Year 2026–2027 funding opportunity with an application deadline approximately one week after its announcement. Recognizing both the competitive nature of the program and the limited window available, staff acted quickly to preserve the opportunity to compete for state funding by submitting a complete application before the deadline. Submission of the application did not obligate the City to accept an award or execute a Grant Agreement.
Preparing a competitive proposal within such a compressed timeframe required close collaboration between the Police Department and Finance Department. The Police Department leadership contributed operational expertise, enforcement strategies, statistical data, and knowledge of local public safety priorities. The Finance Department coordinated grant research, project development, budget preparation, performance measure development, compliance review, and application submission.
This partnership produced a proposal strong enough to earn the City the full grant award of $298,500 which is an outcome that reflects both the credibility of the City's

public safety data and the quality of the proposal developed under a demanding deadline.
DISCUSSION
Community Context and Public Safety Need
The City of Shafter continues to experience significant residential growth that has expanded the geographic footprint of public safety services and increased demands on the Police Department. The California Department of Finance has identified Shafter as one of the fastest-growing cities in California, with substantial residential development ongoing in the Gossamer Grove community located approximately 25 minutes from the historic downtown core.
As new neighborhoods develop and population grows, traffic volumes and roadway exposure increase throughout the City. The Police Department is simultaneously managing public safety demands across the downtown core, emerging residential corridors, and major regional travel routes, including the 7th Standard Road and near State Route 99. A high-traffic corridor serving residents, commuters, and commercial traffic.
Over the past several years, the Police Department has documented consistent DUI enforcement activity and collision data that demonstrate the ongoing need for proactive impaired driving resources.
A Proactive, Intelligence-Led Enforcement Strategy
Rather than pursuing a reactive enforcement model, the approved project is built around a strategic, intelligence-led approach to impaired driving prevention. Grantfunded enforcement activities will be deliberately concentrated during periods historically associated with elevated impaired driving risk.
Specifically, DUI saturation patrols will be strategically scheduled around:
• Friday and Saturday evenings, which consistently produce the highest impaired driving activity
• Holiday weekends, Cinco de Mayo, fourth of July, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's
• Graduation season and school-related events that historically generate increased alcohol and cannabis consumption
• Football games, community celebrations, and large public gatherings that draw significant traffic volumes into the community
CALIFORNIA HIGHWAY PATROL CANNABIS TAX FUND GRANT PROGRAM AGREEMENT AND ACCEPT A GRANT AWARD IN THE AMOUNT OF $298,500
- 3 -
The approved project will fund:
Category Amount
Personnel – 42 DUI Saturation Patrols $201,183.36
Personnel – 1 DUI Sobriety Checkpoint $11,434.40
Equipment – 2 Portable Message Board Trailers $63,902.36 Project Administration and Reporting $20,280.00
Educational Outreach / Prevention Materials $1,699.88
Total Grant Award $298,500.00
The 42 approved DUI saturation patrols will be deployed on a quarterly schedule throughout the performance period (July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027), with patrols concentrated in alignment with seasonal enforcement priorities and community event calendars.
Public Education and Community Awareness
The two portable speed/message board trailers included in the project serve a critical dual function. During active DUI enforcement operations, the boards will notify motorists of enforcement in progress, increasing public awareness and encouraging voluntary compliance. Between enforcement events, the boards will rotate through downtown Shafter and 7th Standard Gossamer Grove area displaying impaired driving prevention messages focused on the dangers and legal consequences of driving under the influence of alcohol and cannabis.
Enforcement Capacity
The Shafter Police Department enters this grant period with a well-trained DUI enforcement foundation. The Department currently has 27 officers certified in Standardized Field Sobriety Testing (SFST), 14 officers certified in Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement (ARIDE), and one Drug Recognition Expert (DRE). This existing training capacity ensures the Department is fully equipped to implement the approved grant activities immediately upon execution of the Grant Agreement.
FISCAL IMPACT
The approved project is a 100% grant funded through the California Highway Patrol Cannabis Tax Fund Grant Program. The City has been awarded $298,500with no local matching funds and no General Fund appropriations necessary to implement the project.
This award provides direct relief to the general fund by funding impaired driving enforcement, public education, and equipment.
CEQA ANALYSIS
CALIFORNIA HIGHWAY PATROL CANNABIS TAX FUND GRANT PROGRAM AGREEMENT AND ACCEPT A GRANT AWARD IN THE AMOUNT OF $298,500
- 4 -
The action is not a “project” as defined by Section 15378(b)(4) of the CEQA Guidelines because it involves the approval of Tax Fund Grant Program Agreement in the amount of $298,500 to be used to fund DUI saturation patrols, DUI checkpoints, message trailers, administration, and outreach. The action constitutes a governmental fiscal activity that does not commit funds to a specific project with the potential to result in a significant environmental impact
