RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Resolution No. 8-21-2023-B approving the reallocation of CDBG Program Income funding for the activities included under CDBG Grant Agreement #22-CDBG-PI-00009.

Under Resolution No. 04-18-2022-B the City Council authorized the submittal of CDBG Grant Applications to utilize the City’s existing Program Income to fund four activities for the Sonora Fire Department. These activities included a Type 3 Engine, a Type 6 Engine, self-contained breathing apparatuses (SCBA), and a diesel exhaust removal system. The Resolution included the following funding allocation for the activities:
Activity Original Amount Requested
Type 3 Fire Engine $409,516.82
Type 6 Fire Engine $318,229.77
Breathing Apparatus System
(SCBA)

Exhaust Removal System $143,360.81
The activities were approved by the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) and combined under Grant Agreement, #22-CDBG-PI-00009. Some recent conditions have occurred which affect the actives funded under this grant. The Fire Department has recently been awarded a Regional AFG Grant which will fund some of the SCBAs thus not all of the CDBG funding will be needed.
Additionally the Fire Chief will be purchasing built in exhaust systems that attach directly to the fire engines instead of replacing the drive thru hose system currently at the fire station. This will reduce the cost for this activity as well.
As you are aware, the City has entered into an agreement to purchase the Type 6 Fire Engine and staff is getting ready to issue the RFP to purchase the Type 3 Fire Engine. Fire Engines, when purchased, do not come fully equipped and staff has met with HCD to see if the additional funding could be allocated for this equipment. The revised cost for the activities are shown below:
Activity Original Amount Requested
Type 3 Fire Engine $556,008
Type 6 Fire Engine $354,540
17 Item 9.
{CW112061.4}
Breathing Apparatus System
(SCBA)
$32,000
Exhaust Removal System $35,000
The attached Resolution, prepared with the assistance of HCD staff, will allow the use of these funds to equip the Fire Engines and provide the flexibility needed to move funds between the activities.
FISCAL IMPACT
The projects are included within the City’s 2023-2024 FY Budget and funded under the existing Grant Agreement. There will be no General Fund dollars used for these activities.

DISCUSSION
In addition to the day-to-day operations of the Department, staff completed the following items:
HOUSING ELEMENT – Staff began review and drafting the Program Accomplishments section for the Housing Element Update. This includes reviewing all current Programs within the existing 2019-2024 Housing Element to site all activities completed under the existing Programs and also to determine if the Program is to be continued, deleted or modified in the 2024 – 2029 Housing Element. Staff also began drafting the Goals, Policies and Program section for the new Housing Element. This includes compliance review for State mandates. The stated Programs are what will be implemented to achieve the identified Goals and Policies which reflect housing needs within the City. These may be modified as staff and consultants conduct additional public and agency outreach. This section will also be modified, if required, following the Department of Housing and Community Development Department’s review.
WASHINGTON-STOCKTON TRANSIT PROJECT – Construction activities continue on the Transit Project.
Staff continues with project oversight, submittal reviews, coordination with Caltrans and various other agencies. There is a lot of staff time involved in the oversight of this project.
CITY ENGINEER PROCUREMENT – Staff completed and released the Request for Qualifications for OnCall Professional Engineering Services. The selected firm will serve in the capacity of the City Engineer and provide ongoing professional engineering services on an on-call basis. Due to the fact that the City may be utilizing Federal and State Transportation funds for projects overseen by the firm, the RFQ process was very extensive and demanded a lot of staff time in its preparation. Proposals are due on or before 4 p.m. on Friday, September 22, 2023. There are several Caltrans’ requirements which must also be complied with during the selection process and they must approve certain financial documents and exhibits before the City can award a contract. Staff anticipates awarding the contract by November 2023.
CDBG PROGRAM ACTIVITIES – The City’s Program Income grant activities, under Grant Agreement #22-CDBG-PI-00009, include a Type 3 Engine, a Type 6 Engine, self-contained breathing apparatuses (SCBA), and a diesel exhaust removal system. The City has executed a Purchase Agreement for the Type 6 Engine which should be arriving soon and is preparing to release the RFP for the Type 3 Engine. Some recent conditions have occurred which affect the activities funded under this grant and thus a reallocation of funds to the various activities needed to occur. Staff met with HCD staff for direction as to how to proceed. Documents have been drafted for consideration by the City Council and if approved will be submitted to HCD.
