Zamora] On June 7, 2022, Council passed to print Ordinance 2022- 08 adopting the Tulare City Police Department Policy regarding use and inventory of military equipment as required in AB 481. Staff recommends Council adopt Ordinance 2022-08.
4. Surplus Police K-9 “Thor” and authorize the sale of same to his former handler Officer Bill Robertson for the purchase price of $1.00. [Submitted by: M.
Machado] Police K-9 “Thor” was deployed in 2015 and has served the department and community well. Unfortunately, Thor has reached an age where his health and his wellbeing is preventing him from continuing as an active police K-9. Because Thor is specially trained, it is necessary to retire him to his handler who has the necessary experience to handle a police K-9. A common practice used throughout the law enforcement community is to surplus the K-9 to its former handler for the amount of $1.00. This surplus purchase includes a release of liability that fully releases the City of Tulare from any further obligation regarding the K-9 and transfers ownership and control of K9 “Thor” to his former handler Officer Bill Robertson.
Tulare City Council Page 3
Agenda Memo – June 21, 2022

[Submitted by: M.

Staff recommends Council authorize the City Manager to sign a contract with Peters Engineering Group of Clovis, CA in an amount not to exceed $416,570 for topographic surveying, geotechnical analysis, design, bidding and construction support services for Project EN0098, a street and utility improvement project northeast of Tulare Avenue and Dayton Street; and Authorize the City Manager or designee to approve contract change orders in an amount not to exceed 10% ($41,657) of the contract award amount.

Agenda Memo – June 21, 2022
capital projects highlighting the timeline, budgets, percentage complete, and notes indicating specific activity related to each project. The dashboard provides a visual summary of the overall progress of the projects for the City Council’s edification.
Background information related to the policies for projects, and additional information related to the attached report is presented below.
On December 16, 2014, the Tulare City Council adopted the Tulare Project Management System Program Policy (TPMS). The goal of the TPMS is to help the City accomplish significant projects on time, within budget, and in accordance with each project’s clearly defined scope. The TPMS utilizes a systematic approach to project management with the following goals:
• Establish consistency in how projects are managed;
• Create department 5-year project plans;
• Improve pre-planning and preparation;
• Identify and implement management policies and procedures; • Improve project cost tracking and project delivery;
• Formalize and improve project reporting; and
• Review and evaluate project successes or failures upon completion in order to improve on future projects.
Pursuant to the City Council’s request, Staff provides quarterly Capital Improvement Projects Dashboards for all major capital projects that fall under the City Council’s purview. The dashboards identify the project number, project title, project phase, project manager, start date, end date, budget, expenditures/encumbrances, and special notes.
The color metric contained on the dashboard reflects the current state of the project.
Projects shown in BLUE are in the Design Phase. Projects shown in GREEN are in the Environmental or Right of Way Acquisition Phase. Projects shown in ORANGE are those that are in the Construction or Implementation Phase. Staff recommends Council accept the Engineering/Project Management Capital Improvements Projects (CIP) Dashboard for June 2022.
10. Authorize the City Manager to sign a contract for the purchase of a Flex CAD/RMS system from Motorola Solutions in the amount of $938,386.73 and authorize a 10% contingency in the amount of $93,838.67, for a total maximum contract amount of $1,032,225.40. [Submitted by: G. Merrill, J. Bowling, R. Roberts] Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) and Records Management Systems (RMS) are standard tools in the operations of law enforcement agencies all over the world. The Tulare Police Department has utilized CAD and RMS software packages for many years. The technology allows the department to electronically and digitally manage operations, including intake, dispatching, and tracking of public calls for service as well as the management of department records, such as crime reports and citations.
The current CAD/RMS system for the Tulare Police Department has been in place since 1997. At that time, the Tulare Police Department selected TracNet Solutions. TracNet Solutions has served the Tulare Police Department with an excellent product and Tulare City Council Page 7
Agenda Memo – June 21, 2022
services for many years; however, the Department has outgrown the capabilities of the current software. As a growing law enforcement agency, the Department requires tools and features that are not available using the TracNet solution.
The proposed system will include Automated Vehicle Location (AVL) that will allow dispatch to see the current location of police and fire vehicles. Additionally, new mapping tools will allow for more efficient allocation of resources and new dashboard capabilities will allow easier access to information. Included in the project is the transition of the Tulare Fire Department to be dispatched by the Tulare Police Department resulting in a gross cost savings of approximately $125,000 annually.
On February 15, 2022, the City Council adopted Resolution 2022-05 allocating $1,180,000 of ARPA funds to be used for Police and Fire CAD/RMS Replacement. This contract represents a significant portion of the project. There are additional hardware and software components that will use the balance of funding to have a complete functional system.
Included in this this contract is a performance bond for the implementation of the system for a cost of $44,265.00.
This is a sole source purchase. The Motorola Flex CAD/RMS system (previously known as Spillman Flex) is either currently in use or under contract to be used by multiple law enforcement agencies in our geographic area. Some of these agencies include: County of Tulare, City of Visalia, and City of Porterville. Included in the system is the technological capability to share information between and among agencies. Concurrent with installation of the Motorola system, staff will pursue establishment of Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) with our partner agencies to create and implement information sharing protocols with the end result being a more comprehensive regional approach to public safety dispatch and records management services. Staff recommends Council authorize the City Manager to sign a contract for the purchase of a Flex CAD/RMS system from Motorola Solutions in the amount of $938,386.73 and authorize a 10% contingency in the amount of $93,838.67, for a total maximum contract amount of $1,032,225.40.
11. Authorize the City Manager or designee to sign a 20-year commercial lease agreement with the Tulare Joint Union High School District to provide summer aquatic recreation programming services at the Tulare Western High School pool. [Submitted by: M. Mondell] The Tulare Joint Union High School District (District), which serves approximately 5,700 students, lacks sufficient pool space to accommodate their students. Currently, two of the District’s three comprehensive high schools have a pool; the current pools are also utilized by the community swim groups and the City of Tulare recreation summer swim program. Unfortunately, the current pools no longer meet the needs of the District, as well as the City and the community. To address this unmet demand, an aquatics complex is proposed at Mission Oak High School to provide a safe and accessible environment and meet the needs of students as well as the general public. The District requested financial assistance from the City to help fund the proposed aquatics complex at Mission Oak High School.

On February 15, 2022, the Tulare City Council unanimously approved the commitment of $500,000 of American Recovery Plan Act (ARPA) funds towards the District’s planned 50-meter pool project at Mission Oak High School. In turn, the City will receive a 20-year commercial swimming pool lease agreement comprised of four five-year options with the District utilizing the Tulare Western High School pool for the City of Tulare’s summer recreation aquatic programs. Staff recommends Council authorize the City Manager or designee to sign a 20-year commercial lease agreement with the Tulare Joint Union High School District to provide summer aquatic recreation programming services at the Tulare Western High School pool.
12. Authorize the City Manager to execute Agreement Supplement No. 13 in the annual amount of $60,000 plus 4.8% administrative costs and expenses with Townsend Public Affairs (TPA) public sector funding advocates to lobby for funding for City projects. The City entered into an agreement with TPA on November 13, 2007, to assist in advocating for state and federal projects and programs that could benefit the City. This association has been highly successful resulting in the City securing grants and beneficial programs as well as keeping the City informed on many important state and federal issues affecting the City. They aide the City in preparation of background information and presentations with regard to proposed legislation to educate the Council on matters of support or opposition letters to the legislature, as well as secure meetings for City officials with Sacramento or Washington legislative officials, to discuss matters of local importance.
In July 2011, Townsend reduced their original monthly rate from $7,500 to $5,000 and have not raised their rates for services since. This was done to allow the City to continue to benefit from their legislative expertise and advocate services. Staff recommends Council authorize the City Manager to execute Agreement Supplement No. 13 in the annual amount of $60,000 plus 4.8% administrative costs and expenses with Townsend Public Affairs (TPA) public sector funding advocates to lobby for funding for City projects.
13. Approve a short-term deferred improvement agreement with Presidio JJR Kensington II 100, LLC, a Delaware Limited Liability Company, allowing the construction of the De La Vina Street & Cartmill Avenue intersection traffic signal improvements for Phases 3 and 4 of the Kensington Estates subdivision to be deferred for a maximum of two (2) years, or prior to the City’s acceptance of the required public improvements for Phase 4 of the Kensington Estates subdivision, whichever occurs first. [Submitted by: M. Miller] Presidio JJR Kensington II 100, LLC is the Subdivider of Phases 3 and 4 of the Kensington Estates subdivision, which is located along the north side of Cartmill Avenue west of Mooney Boulevard. These subdivision phases consist of 55 and 63 single-family residential lots respectively.
Phase 3 is currently under construction, and the Subdivider is seeking to record the final map and proceed with development of Phase 4.
As a condition of Planning Commission Resolution No. 5379, the Subdivider is required to construct at the intersection of De La Vina Street & Cartmill Avenue traffic signal installation.
Tulare City Council Page 9
Agenda Memo – June 21, 2022
The Subdivider has neared completion of all required public improvements for Phase 3 of the Kensington Estates subdivision, with the exception of De La Vina Street & Cartmill Avenue traffic signal installation. The Subdivider is wanting to proceed with recordation of the final map for Phase 4 and to commence its development. However, there is a provision in the City’s standard subdivision improvement agreement for Phase 3 that does not allow for the issuance of building permits in a subsequent phase until a Notice of Completion has been approved for Phase 3. As a result, the delays in completion of the De La Vina Street & Cartmill Avenue traffic signal installation for Phase 3 is preventing the Subdivider from moving forward with the development of Phase 4.
The Subdivider is requesting to enter into a short-term deferred improvement agreement with the City for the De La Vina Street & Cartmill Avenue traffic signal installation associated with Phase 3 of the Kensington Estates subdivision. By securing these improvements through a separate agreement, the requirements of the Phase 3 subdivision improvement agreement could be deemed as met, and a Notice of Completion could be approved, after completion of all required public improvements, for Phase 3. This would allow the Subdivider to move forward with development of Phase 4, while still providing the City with the necessary assurances that required De La Vina Street & Cartmill Avenue traffic signal installation will be completed. The term of the proposed short-term deferred improvement agreement for the installation of the De La Vina Street & Cartmill Avenue traffic signal installation would be a maximum of two (2) years, or prior to the City’s acceptance of required public improvements for Phase 4 of the Kensington Estates subdivision, whichever comes first. Presidio JJR Kensington II 100, LLC will be required to provide the City with a performance bond or other acceptable security equal to 115% of the proposed improvement cost (total improvement cost plus 5% for each year the improvements can be deferred).
Copies of the proposed short-term deferred improvement agreement and Planning Commission Resolution No. 5379 are attached for reference. Staff recommends Council approve a short-term deferred improvement agreement with Presidio JJR Kensington II 100, LLC, a Delaware Limited Liability Company, allowing the construction of the De La Vina Street & Cartmill Avenue intersection traffic signal improvements for Phases 3 and 4 of the Kensington Estates subdivision to be deferred for a maximum of two (2) years, or prior to the City’s acceptance of the required public improvements for Phase 4 of the Kensington Estates subdivision, whichever occurs first.

Agenda Memo – June 21, 2022
XV. PUBLIC HEARINGS - Comments related to Public Hearing items are limited to three minutes per speaker, for a maximum of 30 minutes per item, unless otherwise extended by the Council. [Time Estimate: 8:00-9:00 p.m.]
1. Adopt a resolution approving the 2022/23 operating budget (with all component parts as listed below); adopt a resolution approving the 2022/23 Position Control Budget and fixing the rate of compensation of regular full-time employees, regular part-time employees, City Council members and seasonal/temporary employees of the City of Tulare; adopt a resolution establishing the 2022/23 appropriation limit; and receive the BPU adopted Utility Enterprise Fund Budgets. [Submitted by: D. Ibanez] On May 17, 2022 and June 7, 2022, staff presented a proposed budget for the 2022/23 fiscal year to Council for review, discussion, and direction. At the June 7 meeting, Council set the public hearing to adopt the budget for June 21, 2022.
The Board of Public Utilities (BPU) Commissioners held a public hearing on June 2, 2022, and adopted the utilities budget. Pursuant to the City’s charter, a copy of such budget, when adopted, shall promptly be filed with the City Council.
Operating Budget (including the Position Control Budget (PCB)):
The complete proposed General City operating budget is comprised of the following:
1. City Manager’s message;
2. Total estimated revenues and total appropriations proposed for all non-utility City funds (General Fund, non-utility enterprise funds, internal service funds, and debt service funds);
3. The Position Control Budget;
4. The General Fund proposed appropriations summarized by object; and
5. The General Fund divisional appropriations with line item analyses.
Fleet Control Budget (FCB)/Equipment Replacement Control Budget (ERCB):
The Fleet and Equipment Replacement Control Budgets are incorporated into the operating budget on the pertinent analytical line items (see Budget Flex Report). Each control budget applies to internal service funds that operate similarly. Internal charges are computed based on projected costs which are then appropriated in the operating divisions within the proposed budget. The charges are collected by the pertinent internal service fund (for example, Workers Compensation Insurance Fund or Fleet Replacement Fund) from all City funds receiving the internal services. Purchases (for example, for replacement vehicles or for loss pooling costs like insurance) are made through the internal service funds to the third-party providers. The internal service funds are evaluated each budget cycle to determine if costs were more or less than projected which will result in future period adjustments through the operating department budgets.
The FCB also smooths the procurement process in some instances for replacement vehicles replaced in accordance with the pre-approved plan. Provided the cost for replacement of equipment does not exceed the amount authorized for purchasing the pre-approved items, and provided that the City’s Purchasing policy does not require further Council (or BPU) action, the purchases can be made under the existing policy by staff.
Tulare City Council Page 11
Agenda Memo – June 21, 2022
Appropriation Limit:
Annually, the Council must adopt the City’s Proposition 4 Appropriation Limit (so-called Gann Limit). The amount is adjusted annually for population and for inflation. The proposed Gann Limit is substantially above the City’s proposed budget appropriations, so the City is in compliance.
Resolutions:
Attached are three resolutions to be considered for adoption at a single public hearing:
one for the operating budget, one for the Position Control Budget, and one for the 2022/23 Appropriation Limit. Adoption of the operating budget will include all control budget components described above. Additionally, the resolutions contain guidelines for staff to use in administering the budget during the budgetary period. Staff recommends Council adopt a resolution approving the 2022/23 operating budget (with all component parts as listed below); adopt a resolution approving the 2022/23 Position Control Budget and fixing the rate of compensation of regular full-time employees, regular part-time employees, City Council members and seasonal/temporary employees of the City of Tulare; adopt a resolution establishing the 2022/23 appropriation limit; and receive the BPU adopted Utility Enterprise Fund Budgets.
2. Adopt a resolution confirming the report and recommendation of the Tulare Downtown Association Board of Directors and levy assessments for the Tulare Downtown Parking and Business Improvement Area 2022/2023 Annual Assessments. [Submitted by: D. Ibanez] City Municipal Code Section 8.48.080 requires the Advisory Board for the Parking and Business Improvement Area of the City to prepare a report for each fiscal year for which assessments are to be levied and collected to pay the cost of the improvements and activities described in the report. The Tulare Downtown Association (TDA) Board of Directors serves as the Advisory Board of the district and administers the program. The report may propose changes, including, but not limited to, the boundaries of the Parking and Business Improvement Area or any benefit zones within the Area, the basis and method of levying the assessments, and any changes in the classification of business, if a classification is used.
On June 7, 2022, the City Council adopted a resolution of intent approving the intent to levy assessments and receiving the draft report of the Tulare Downtown Association Board of Directors. The public hearing is the final step in the approval process. A TDA Board Member will review the report in detail during the public hearing. Adopt a resolution confirming the report and recommendation of the Tulare Downtown Association Board of Directors and levy assessments for the Tulare Downtown Parking and Business Improvement Area 2022/2023 Annual Assessments.
3. Adopt a resolution ordering improvements for Assessment District 2022-01 for the Fernjo Estates subdivision located along the east side of Mooney Boulevard south of Clover Meadow Avenue. [Submitted by: M. Miller] Attached is a resolution to establish a new assessment district. This new district will provide for the following:
• maintenance of landscaping, irrigation systems, pedestrian sidewalks, and block walls associated with common lot areas,
Tulare City Council Page 12
Agenda Memo – June 21, 2022
• supplemental maintenance of local streets within the district boundaries, and • maintenance and regulatory compliance measures associated with the storm drainage basin serving the area within the district boundaries.
Maintenance activities covered by district assessments will include repairs or nuisance abatement to common lot and storm drain basin improvements due to accidents, ground settlement, tree damage or vandalism.
The attached engineers report outlines the procedural costs and location of the district.
The recommended benefit assessment of $234.00 per single-family equivalent represents a full-build out scenario of 80 single-family lots in accordance with the approved tentative subdivision map of Fernjo Estates. Benefit assessments are subject to annual increases based upon the Consumer Pricing Index (CPI). A public hearing to receive public comment regarding the establishment of the district and proposed assessment is required. Staff recommends Council adopt a resolution ordering improvements for Assessment District 2022-01 for the Fernjo Estates subdivision located along the east side of Mooney Boulevard south of Clover Meadow Avenue.
4. Adopt a resolution approving allocation of the City of Tulare’s Encampment Resolution Funding (ERF) Program grant funds in the total amount of $1,029,974 for various services; and authorize the City Manager or his/her designee to execute service agreements, any amendments thereto, and any and all other documents or instruments necessary or required by the California Interagency Council on Homelessness for participation in the ERF Program. [Submitted by: A.
Costales] The State of California has established the Encampment Resolution Funding Program (“ERF” or “Program”) pursuant to Chapter 7 (commencing with Section 50250) of Part 1 of Division 31 of the Health and Safety Code. (Amended by Stats. 2021, Ch. 111, Sec.13. (AB 140) Effective July 19, 2021.) The Program is administered by the California Interagency Council on Homelessness (Cal ICH) in the Business, Consumer Services and Housing Agency (“Agency”). The Agency offered one-time Program grant funds to continuums of care and/or local jurisdictions through an open and competitive application process. The City of Tulare, as a Program Grantee, must comply with the terms and conditions of the Standard Agreement1 with Cal ICH and those identified in Request for Applications (“RFA”) documentation, the representations contained in the City’s application, Agency guidance or directives, and the requirements appearing in the statutory authority for the Program cited above.
As stated in the RFA, the Program incorporates two interdependent objectives. a) The Program funds local demonstration projects that feature data-informed, innovative service delivery models and cross systems collaborations that support individuals experiencing homelessness in encampments towards a meaningful path to safe and stable housing through non-punitive, low-barrier, person-centered, Housing First approaches. These projects must comply with the principles of Housing First as defined in Welfare and Institutions Code Section 8255, must serve 1 Pending final execution by Cal ICH as of June 14, 2022. See Exhibit C for a copy of the Standard Agreement.

a specific encampment site, and be designed to achieve sustainable outcomes for both recipients of services and the encampment site to be resolved. b) In close partnership with Grantees, Agency or its agents will analyze Grantee’s demonstration projects to evaluate activities and outcomes for the purpose of sharing scalable and replicable encampment resolution models that may be implemented across the state.
Beginning in mid-November 2021, Department staff sought informal guidance on the Program from community-based organizations (CBOs) with a record of service in Tulare with people experiencing homelessness. The purpose of meetings and correspondence during this time was to determine a project plan and gauge capacity and interest of local CBOs for an ERF project. The unique ERF Program directives and short timeline to prepare a plan for the RFA demanded a different development and solicitation method than what is typically followed with other federal and state grant programs. In less than seven weeks, Department staff composed a functional project plan and secured letters of support from six entities on the proposed project. With City Management guidance and approval, Department staff applied to Cal ICH’s RFA for the ERF Program. Table 1 provides an overview of the key interventions within the City’s application as rated and awarded by Cal ICH. The original work plan, budget narrative, and six letters of support are attached as Exhibit B for reference.

positioned for clients in the
prioritized encampment area,
with a weekly service
schedule for two-years.
Implementation of the Central Encampment Resolution Project Since Cal ICH’s notice of intent to award on March 1, 2022, Department staff began project planning efforts with 6 prospective service providers, the incorporation of Program standards, and preparations to administer a Program award in the amount of $1,566,604. The uniqueness of the City’s project under the ERF Program requires considerable coordination across City Departments and among 6 entities that intend to deliver key services to clients in the prioritized encampment area. Joint training sessions, meaningful information sharing, and the adoption of uniform street outreach and housing plan standards, should position the proposed service providers for success with exiting at least 57 people from homelessness and restoring the designated encampment area(s) to their intended use by May 2024.
And to gather input from City Council and other community stakeholders, Department staff requests a public hearing to consider the adoption of a resolution. If adopted, the resolution will authorize the commitment of the City’s ERF grant to various external entities and across multiple City Departments. Table 2 identifies all proposed allocations of ERF grant funds above $50,000, which excludes allocations to a Park Ranger, waste servicing, direct client housing assistance, and project administrative costs in the collective amount of $516,630. Department staff acknowledge use of a sole source procurement process, which permits bypassing an open and competitive bid process to acquire unique and reliable goods and/or services in a direct and expedited manner.

XVI. GENERAL BUSINESS - Comments related to General Business items are limited to three minutes per speaker, for a maximum of 30 minutes per item, unless otherwise extended by the Council. [Time Estimate: 9:00-10:15 p.m.]
1. Council discussion regarding the parking of tow trucks within a residential zone while on rotation under the City of Tulare Police Department Tow Service Agreement. [Submitted by: T. Myers] At the May 17, 2022, City Council meeting, Council members came to a consensus for staff to bring an item to Council for discussion on whether the parking of contractor tow trucks, while on rotation for services with the City of Tulare Police Department should be allowed to park in residential zones to improve response times.
The City of Tulare Police Department currently maintains a Tow Service Agreement with six tow truck companies who voluntarily elect to participate in the Police Department’s tow rotation program. The Agreement specifies mandatory response times depending upon the time of day and type of tow truck needed to respond. For example, the maximum response time during the day is as follows:
Class A (Light Duty, 14,000 lb truck) – 20 minutes
Class B (Medium Duty, 33,000 lb truck) – 35 minutes
Class C (Heavy Duty, 52,000 lb truck) – 35 minutes
Class D (Super Heavy Duty, 54,000 lb truck) – 35 minutes Tulare City Council Page 18

The Tulare Municipal Code section 9.48.120 sets forth the commercial vehicle parking restrictions. The section applies to commercial vehicles of more than two-ton capacity commonly described as a truck, truck trailer, trailer, semi or tractor. Section
9.48.120(C)(1)(a) states:
It shall be unlawful for any person to leave, park or allow to be parked any commercial vehicle, whether attended or unattended, within any residential district. This prohibition shall apply regardless of whether the commercial vehicle is located on the public street, highway or alley, or on private property within the residential district.
Council is being asked to discuss the parking of commercial vehicles in residential districts and specifically the applicability of tow trucks while operating under agreement with the Tulare Police Department. Staff recommends Council discuss the parking of tow trucks within a residential zone while on rotation under the City of Tulare Police Department Tow Service Agreement.
2. Approve the term sheet for operation of a business accelerator at the former courthouse and direct staff to prepare a lease agreement between the City of Tulare and the Tulare Chamber of Commerce. [Submitted by: M. Mondell] The City has been awarded a total of $18,024,068 in Federal American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds for use in addressing the negative impacts of the pandemic. In November 2021 the City Council approved $12,351,800 of ARPA funds to be used for specific purposes including $1,300,000 towards the courthouse renovation project. The proposed renovation of the former courthouse (± 20,000sq.ft.) includes; relocation of the police investigations unit and utilization of the remaining space as a business accelerator. An accelerator (or incubator) is a space where new startup companies can be housed in exchange for receiving discounted space and business support services.
In June 2022, City Council approved a contract with a design firm to prepare construction drawings to implement the proposed project including renovation of the adjacent City Hall parking lot. Management is now bringing to City Council, for its consideration, a proposed term sheet between the City and the Tulare Chamber of Commerce (Chamber) for operation of the accelerator which if approved would result in the basis for a ground lease. The basic terms include:
• Initial term begins upon lease execution (occupancy upon certificate of occupancy) through December 31, 2027.
• Renewal term 5 years (unless City has need for space) • Lease rate $1 per year
• Chamber (Tenant) is entitled to sublease space to startup businesses and other support organizations all rent derived thereof.
Tulare City Council Page 19
Agenda Memo – June 21, 2022
• Chamber is responsible for operations, programming and regular maintenance. • City is responsible for capital maintenance.
• Responsibility for utilities is divided between the parties. • Both parties have access to parking and meeting space.
Staff recommends Council approve the term sheet for operation of a business accelerator at the former courthouse and direct staff to prepare a lease agreement between the City of Tulare and the Tulare Chamber of Commerce.
3. Receive a fund balance update and direct staff to transfer City Council FY 2021- 2022 appropriated Community Improvement funds to approved projects. [Submitted by: D. Ibanez] At the June 7, 2022, City Council Meeting, Councilmember Sigala requested an update on City Council’s current Community Improvement fund balances and asked for an opportunity to discuss and possibly transfer remaining funds to other City Council approved projects.
The balance of each fund as of May 31, 2022, is listed below:
Please note that all funds must be expended by June 30, 2022. Staff recommends Council receive a fund balance update and direct staff to transfer City Council FY 2021-2022 appropriated Community Improvement funds to approved projects.

[Submitted by: N.
Bartsch] On December 7, 2021, City Council approved $9,820,000 of non-Category 3 ARPA funding to be used on various programs and projects to offset the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the City of Tulare. Included in this funding is the Zumwalt Park Renovation Project, which will renovate Zumwalt Park in a manner that will improve the recreational opportunities for the community, help to mitigate future pandemic related impacts, and serve as the primary entertainment destination as a key ingredient of downtown revitalization efforts. Key components of the renovation will be the addition of an amphitheater that can host events with between 1,500-2,500 ticketed attendees, a splash pad, a playground, restrooms that comply with current ADA code requirements, an area for food vending, and other amenities intended to enhance the parks status as a destination point.

Agenda Memo – June 21, 2022
worked with the City to further define the scope of the project, and prepared three (3) initial conceptual park designs, including two (2) alternative amphitheater layouts, for review. These were presented to members of the community in a public outreach meeting held on May 4, 2022. Input was gathered at this meeting and a final consolidated plan was compiled for consideration. In addition, staff made the same presentation to the Recreation and Parks Commission on June 14, 2022 and has made similar presentations to a number of local groups and associations.
Additionally, a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for On-Call Architectural and Landscape Architectural Consultants was issued on April 5, 2022. Three (3) firms submitted all the necessary information to be considered for inclusion on a list of preapproved consultants to provide these services. The proposals were reviewed and rated in accordance with the consultant selection procedures identified in the RFQ, and all three (3) firms were recommended for inclusion on the list of prequalified architectural and landscape architectural consultants. On June 7, 2022, the City Council approved this list of consultants.
RRM Design Group of San Luis Obispo, CA is included on the list of pre-qualified consultants and demonstrated in their proposal that they have the skills, expertise and resources available to meet the City’s needs and timeframe to complete the design of this project. RRM worked as a primary subconsultant under Lane Engineers to prepare the conceptual design alternatives, and ultimately the preferred alternative design for the Zumwalt Park Redevelopment project. As a result, they have provided a proposal to perform the complete design of the project in the amount of $653,850. The proposed cost is in accordance with their on-call contract, in line with industry standards, and falls within the project budget.
Based on the current proposed improvements along with recent and projected cost escalations, initial estimates indicate there may be a need for additional funding for construction beyond what was originally anticipated and budgeted for this project. Even since the initial project budget was developed, construction costs across all industry sectors have increased substantially beyond what could have reasonably been anticipated. This is the result of several factors, largely influenced by the COVID 19 Pandemic. As the City has experienced on other recent projects, supply chain issues, dramatic Consumer Price Index (CPI) fluctuations, and other events have driven construction costs higher than what has been seen in the past. Staff is looking at additional eligible funding alternatives, including available Parks Development Impact Fees (DIFs), to help supplement the current funding, should it become necessary. Staff will bring back these options, along with project phasing alternatives if necessary. Staff recommends Council approve a contract with RRM Design Group in the amount of $653,850 for design and construction support services for the redevelopment of Zumwalt Park; and authorize the City Manager or designee to approve contract change orders in an amount not to exceed 10% ($65,385) of the contract amount.
5. Select one of the nominees from the cities in Tulare County to serve as the Transit Representative to the Tulare County Association of Governments. [Submitted by: M. Mondell] The Tulare County Association of Governments (TCAG) is required to have a member that represents transit agencies and riders on the Board.

Surplus Police K-9 “Thor” and authorize the sale of same to his former handler Officer Bill Robertson for the purchase price of $1.00.
IS PUBLIC HEARING REQUIRED: ☐Yes ☒No
BACKGROUND/EXPLANATION:
Police K-9 “Thor” was deployed in 2015 and has served the department and community well.
Unfortunately, Thor has reached an age where his health and his wellbeing is preventing him from continuing as an active police K-9. Because Thor is specially trained, it is necessary to retire him to his handler who has the necessary experience to handle a police K-9. A common practice used throughout the law enforcement community is to surplus the K-9 to its former handler for the amount of $1.00. This surplus purchase includes a release of liability that fully releases the City of Tulare from any further obligation regarding the K-9 and transfers ownership and control of K9 “Thor” to his former handler Officer Bill Robertson.
The Police Department has secured funding through the “Paws for the Cause” nonprofit for the purchase of a new K-9.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Surplus Police K-9 “Thor” and authorize the sale of same to his former handler Officer Bill Robertson for the purchase price of $1.00.

The City of Tulare hereby transfers ownership of Thor (“Retired Police Dog”), a trained police dog, to Police Officer, and will not require the Retired Police Dog’s future services as part of the Tulare Police Department’s K-9 Unit. In consideration, Police Officer agrees to assume full responsibility, ownership and control of the Retired Police Dog (including its food, shelter, veterinary needs, and any other expenses related to the Retired Police Dog’s care and upkeep), and promises, agrees, and covenants to the following waivers, release, and agreements to indemnify City, its officials, officers, employees and agents (collectively the “Indemnified Parties”).
1. Waiver and Release. Police Officer hereby waives all actions (whether legal, equitable or declaratory in nature), proceedings (whether in courts or administrative bodies), alternative dispute resolution procedures (whether arbitration, mediation or otherwise), demands, claims, and causes of action, and other means of recovery, of whatever nature, for injuries to person (including without limitation death, dismemberment and emotional distress), or damages (whether to person, property or business and including without limitation all forms of monetary recovery, whether for general, special, compensatory, or punitive damages, loss of earnings, loss of earning capacity, loss of profits or other damages of whatever nature), arising from the actions of or in any way related to the Retired Police Dog from the date of this Agreement. Police Officer expressly acknowledges that he or she is familiar with Section 1542 of the California Civil Code which provides:
“A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.” Police Officer expressly waives and relinquishes any right and benefit which he or she may have under Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, or any State or Federal statute or common law principle to similar effect, to the full extent that such rights and benefits may be lawfully waived pertaining to the subject matter of the waiver and release set forth in this paragraph. Police Officer understands and acknowledges the significance and consequences of this specific waiver of Section 1542 of the California Civil Code.
2. Indemnity and Hold Harmless. Police Officer shall indemnify, defend (with legal counsel selected by the City and paid for by Police Officer) and hold the Indemnified Parties, and each of them, harmless from and against any actions (whether legal, equitable, or declaratory in nature), proceedings (whether in courts or administrative bodies), alternative dispute resolution procedures (whether arbitration, mediation, or otherwise), demands, claims and causes of action of whatever nature, costs, and expenses (including attorney fees), judgments, orders, decrees, liens, and other encumbrances, liabilities, injuries to person (including without limitation, death, dismemberment, and emotional distress), damages (whether to person, property, or business, including without limitation, all forms of monetary recover, whether for general, special, compensatory, or punitive damages, loss or earnings, loss of earning capacity, loss of profits or other damages of whatever nature), arising from the actions of or in any way related to the Retired Police Dog from the date of this Agreement.
3. Notice of Claims. Police Officer shall provide written notice to City within ten (10) calendar days of the service on, or delivery to, Police Officer of any claim, demand, suit, action or other proceeding arising out of or in any way related to the subject matter covered under this Agreement.
4. Interpretation and Severability. Police Officer further expressly agrees that the foregoing release, waiver and indemnity agreement is intended to be as broad and inclusive as is permitted by the law of the State of California and that if any portion thereof is held invalid, it is agreed that the balance shall; notwithstanding, continue in full force and effect. This Agreement shall not apply to any actions, proceedings, demands, claims and causes of action arising from the actions of the Retired Police Dog occurring before the date of the Agreement.
Police Officer represents that he or she has had an opportunity to read this Agreement and seek the advice of independent legal counsel and is entering into this Agreement voluntarily, with the understanding that any and all liability related to the Retired Police Dog shall be deemed to rest with the Police Officer as of the date of signature below.

INTRODUCTION
Peters Engineering Group (Consultant) will provide the City of Tulare (Client) with engineering services for the subject project as described herein. Consultant’s services will result in the preparation of plans, specifications, and estimate for the proposed improvements to the area NE of Dayton and Tulare as shown in Exhibit “B” and consisting of the following streets:
Academy Avenue from Dayton Street to Laspina Street (Approximately 1,700 feet) La Mesa Drive from Dayton Street to Spruce Street (Approximately 450 feet) Burton Avenue east of Lane Street (Approximately 275 feet) Dayton Street between Tulare Avenue (CA-137) and La Mesa Drive (Approximately 1200 feet)
Tulare Avenue Frontage Road between Dayton Street and Tulare Avenue (CA-137) (Approximately 400 feet)
Spruce Street between Academy Avenue and La Mesa Drive (Approximately 475 feet)
Miracle Circle west of Spruce Street (Approximately 160 feet) Lane Street from Tulare Avenue (CA-137) to Boyd Court (Approximately (1,220 feet)
Boyd Court east of Lane Street (Approximately 200 feet) Stanley Drive between Lane Street and Academy Avenue (Approximately 550 feet) Canby Street from Tulare Avenue (CA-137) to Tulare-Santa Fe Trail (Approximately 1425 feet)
All of the above listed streets will receive the infrastructure outlined below:
Removal of existing and installation of SDR-26 sanitary sewer main ranging from 8” to 10” with alignment along the centerline of the street with offset manholes using an eccentric cone. Proposed manholes will be constructed at intersections and/or every 400 feet maximum. Connecting to existing Sewer services behind existing curb.
Connections will be made to the existing sewer main at Laspina Street and Tulare Avenue. No new sewer is anticipated on Lane Street north of Burton Avenue. Removal of existing water main and installation of new 8” water main. Connect to existing water services behind existing curb and or replumbing services were necessary. Placement of new valves and fire hydrants shall be in coordination with City Staff. No new water is anticipated on Lane Street north of Burton Avenue. Reconstruct street, with design based on geotechnical reports and coordination with City Staff. Options for reconstructed pavement section would be HMA over Class II Base or HMA over FDR w/cement. For Lane Street north of Burton and for Boyd Court, a slurry seal is anticipated.
Remove and replace and or install new curb and gutter, residential drive approaches, Sidewalk and Cross Gutters where necessary as determined by City Staff, in collaboration with information from topographic survey. Improvements will be shown in plan and profile view as needed.
Construct new ADA compliant ramps at intersection corners. There are approximately 30 locations that will need new ADA compliant ramps. Coordination with Caltrans will be necessary to obtain encroachment permit for improvements within SR 137 Right of Way, including preparation of a separate plan set for the encroachment permit and preparation of a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan.
In addition to the general items listed above, the following storm drain improvements will be designed in accordance with the City of Tulare Storm Drain Master Plan and City policy for replacement of storm drain laterals and inlets:
Removal of existing storm drain manholes, inlets and pipeline along Academy Avenue between Lane Street and Laspina Street.
Installation of 24” RGRCP, manholes, and inlets in Academy Avenue from Lane Street to Laspina Street. A connection to the existing storm drain infrastructure will be made at Laspina Street.
Installation of inlets in Dayton Street tying into the existing storm drain main.
WORK TASKS
The Consultant will provide the following work tasks:
Task 100 - Preliminary Engineering
101 Project Coordination and Kickoff Meeting
Consultant will attend a kickoff meeting with Client to discuss expectations and objectives for the project. A field review will follow to review the project. 102 Field Surveys and Mapping
Consultant will perform a topographic and boundary survey of the existing features and right-of-way. The topographic survey will extend throughout the limits of the project and will be used to develop digital mapping for design of the proposed improvements. The boundary survey will verify existing right of way and assist the design of new improvements as outlined below:
Use RTK GPS to establish horizontal control points – assumed horizontal system. Run and adjust a level loop through survey control points – from City of Tulare benchmark(s).
Gather topographic data using total station systems to ensure good vertical data at intersection returns.
Cross-Sections streets at 100+ foot intervals (FL, CL, FL) with RTK GPS (+/- 0.1’). Locate FL at centerline of driveways with RTK GPS (+/- 0.1’). Locate obvious uplifts of curb (not details, just location shot). Locate and identify visible utilities in the street along with water meters behind the curb.
Measure flow-line elevation and pipe size on SSMH and SDMH. Locate and tie in sufficient monumentation to calculate right-of-way lines of streets, but not individual lot boundaries.
Locate and tie out monuments within the street with potential to be disturbed by this project.
City to provide or verify right-of-way data.
Provide electronic file of the survey in an AutoCAD compatible version. Prepare & file Corner Records for centerline monuments (estimated to be 10).
It is anticipated that the City’s surveyor for construction will tie out existing monuments and create corner records as necessary.
103 Research Existing Underground and Overhead Utilities The location of existing underground and overhead utilities will be identified through available City and utility company record drawings and through the topographic survey.
Utility companies will be contacted and a request for utility records will be made. Known existing underground utilities will be incorporated in digital topographic mapping and shown in both plan and profile on the construction documents. The City and any other agency affected by the project will be notified through the Preliminary Design Memorandum whether relocation or other mitigations are required. Preliminary plans will be distributed to affected agencies for assistance in utility coordination and possible relocation. While correspondence will be prepared by consultant, letters and other communications may need to be sent by City Staff to acquire the information for use by the Consultant. 104 Geotechnical Analysis
Geotechnical Consultant will drill nine (9) exploratory borings to evaluate the subsurface soil conditions along the alignment of the residential streets within the project area. The exploratory borings will be located near one side of the applicable streets and will be advanced to depths of 10 feet below the existing ground surface. Prior to drilling, the locations of the planned test borings will be marked and Underground Service Alert (USA) will be contacted to locate and mark onsite utility lines in the vicinity of the planned test borings. An encroachment permit will be submitted for review and approval by the Client.
This encroachment permit will be a no fee permit. Since the work will be done in a residential area with minor, low-speed traffic it is assumed that only limited traffic control (advance warning signs and some traffic cones) will be required, which can be set up by the Consultant. During drilling operations, penetration tests will be performed at regular intervals to evaluate the soil consistency and to obtain information regarding the engineering properties of the subsoils. At each boring location the pavement section will be measured and soil samples will be obtained for laboratory testing and reference purposes. At some locations, two additional shallow (up to 3 feet deep) borings will be performed in order to obtain additional subgrade and aggregate base samples that will be required for the full depth reclamation with cement (FDR-C) analysis which will be performed for this project. The soils encountered will be continuously examined and visually classified in accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System. The boreholes will be backfilled with soil and aggregate base, and then capped with asphalt cold patch to match the thickness of the existing asphalt. All fieldwork will be done under the supervision of a Geotechnical Engineer.
Laboratory testing will be dependent on the results of the field-testing and sampling program, as well as consideration of the design and construction involved with this project. At this time, sand equivalency, dry density determinations, moisture contents, sieve analysis tests, direct shear tests, sand equivalent tests, R-value tests, and tests to evaluate the corrosion potential will be performed to evaluate relevant geotechnical properties of the soils within the project area. In addition, three representative samples will be treated with cement and then tested to evaluate the maximum dry density, optimum moisture content, and compressive strength as part of the FDR-C analysis for this project. The results of the field exploration, laboratory testing, and engineering analysis will be presented in a formal report. 105 Preliminary Sewer, Water, Storm Drain and Ramp Designs Consultant will prepare initial utility layout and improvement designs for water, sewer and storm drainage facilities within the project area. The improvements will be based on ultimate facilities described in each utility’s Master Plan or as stated above. The drawings will be prepared in plan and profile for review. Facilities requested to be included in the design which are not shown in the Master Plan documents or identified above will be included as Additional Services.
Consultant will prepare initial geometric plans for the proposed street improvements.
Roadway impacts and constraints will be identified. The plans will identify the location of proposed ADA ramps, existing driveway locations, proposed sidewalk and potential curb and gutter removal and replacement or new construction locations. The curb and gutter replacement/installation locations will be identified in an onsite meeting with the Client after an analysis of the existing topographic survey has been completed. This analysis will consist of a review of the existing slope of the curb and gutter, driveway and existing tree locations, and existing and proposed drainage facilities.
106 Design Criteria Confirmation
Consultant will prepare a preliminary design criteria which will confirm City expectations for design of the improvements, including pipe slope, minimum pipe cover, minimum separation of utilities, pipe sizing and type, pavement design, and construction scheduling.
This criteria will be presented and discussed at both the project kick-off meeting and the preliminary design/30% meeting with City Staff. Discussion and decisions will be made regarding various design components including utility relocation, design constraints/issues, and a recommendation which will be based on a life cycle cost analysis depicting the most cost effective strategy. This information will be continuously updated throughout the entirety of the design phase of the project.
107 30% Plans Submittal & Estimate
Consultant will prepare thirty percent (30%) plans including preliminary roadway city utility, signal and lighting, and landscaping designs. Plans will be developed in AutoCAD 2021, or a version acceptable to the City. A digital copy and three (3) hard copies of the 30% plans and a preliminary cost estimate will be submitted for City review. Copies of the 30% plans will be distributed to affected utility companies for use in their design of relocations.
Task 200 - Construction Documents

Subject: Design Proposal for EN2021-1B – Various Streets NE of Tulare Ave and Canby Street Rev. 1, 4Creeks No. 22290
Dear Mr. Bartsch,
We have prepared a scope and fee for the services required to complete the proposed project design for Various Streets NE of Tulare Ave and Canby Street reconstruction, underground wet utility improvements, curb ramp, alley approach, and drive approach replacements on N. Mountain View St., Vineland Ave., E. Eastegate Ave., Burton Ave. and Cheryl Lane. The limits of work consist of Vineland Ave. between Laspina and Mountain View, Eastgate Ave. between Laspina and Mountain View, Burton Ave. between Laspina and Mountain View, Academy Ave. between Laspina and Mountain View, Cheryl Lane between Laspina and Mountain View, Tulare-Cheryl Alley and Mountain View between Vineland and Tulare Ave. Project limits are also shown on the attached Exhibit A.
Our understanding is that the scope of work will generally include the following improvements:
• Replacement and Design of (30) Curb ramps
• Replacement of (4) Alley Approaches
• Replacement of approximately (25) Drive Approaches due to proximity of sewer laterals and water services.
• Around 5,452 LF of New Water Main (and associated valves and services). Existing system will be abandoned in place.
• Replacing Fire Hydrants and where necessary, adding Fire Hydrants to achieve City standard spacing • Around 4,703 LF of New Sewer Main (and associated manholes and sewer laterals). Removal and Replacement of existing system.
• Around 528 LF of New Storm Drain Mains and Laterals (and associated manholes and drain inlets).
Removal and Replacement of existing system.
• Full Street Section replacement of Mountain View St, Vineland Ave, Eastgate Ave, Burton Ave, and Cheryl Lane. Our understanding is that street reconstructions will not extend into N Laspina St., Academy Ave. and Tulare Ave. Our understanding is that street replacement will continue up the side streets to the curb returns of the new ramps. The existing asphalt will be removed from the streets. • Our understanding is that encroachment into the Caltrans right of way will be required to construct the curb ramps on Tulare Ave. & Mountain View. We anticipate that encroachment permitting and traffic control plans (compiled Caltrans Standard Plans) will be required from Caltrans and this work is included in our scope.
• Signing, striping, and marking for the roadway.
The project design will be completed so the City can bid the project by the beginning of February 2023. Below you will find a breakdown of the tasks needed to complete this project.
Task 1: Topographic Survey
• The survey shall include (but not be limited to):
o Full topographic survey of the streets included with the project. o 50’ Cross Sections
o Sewer and Storm Drain inverts to be dipped wherever possible o More detailed topo around accessibility ramp locations 324 S. Santa Fe, Suite A
Visalia, California 93292
www.4-creeks.com
o Existing observable improvements within the right of way or directly adjacent thereto that may be affected by the project
o Observable Utilities, which includes fire hydrants, water meter boxes, sewer cleanouts, sewer and storm manholes, valve boxes, etc.
o Tie into City of Tulare benchmark system
o Prior to the survey we will have a design staff member mark uplifted/depressed/damaged curb and gutter within the limits of project for removal and replacement with the project. • Our understanding is that after the Topo is completed and preliminary wet utility design has been completed that the City will pothole existing utilities that may conflict with new project improvements. Our survey crew will survey in the surface locations of these potholes after the potholing has been completed so this information can be incorporated into the project design. • Right of way limits will be drafted on the Topo from record maps. This fee does not include ordering title reports for separate properties or record research of dedicated easements/additional right of way along the corridor.
The above Task 1 services will be provided for a Fixed Fee of $34,470.
Task 2: Utility Research and Coordination
• Conduct utility research and identify potential conflicts with record utilities. • Show existing utility locations on construction documents. • Meet with utility companies at around the 30% design stage after potholing of the potential utility conflicts has been completed to determine if conflicts exist.
• Work with utility companies to address and resolve identified conflicts. • Review the existing streetlight spacing along the corridor and provide a recommendation to the city on where new wood pole mounted streetlights should be installed. City will coordinate with utility agency as they desire.
The above Task 2 services will be provided for a Fixed Fee of $7,885.
Task 3: Geotechnical Analysis
• Perform a geotechnical investigation with cores to determine the pavement section that is appropriate for the project using conventional asphalt over aggregate base section. Cores will identify existing HMA and AB thicknesses as well. Cores will be taken at a spacing of approximately 600 feet (10-15 borings). • Obtain soils samples and run sand equivalent testing to identify whether native materials are suitable as backfill over wet utilities and if the soil meets the City’s standard bedding requirements (min. 30% sand equivalent).
• Provide 12 R-Value tests, Gradations and Sand Equivalents on the on-site materials. • Evaluate Gradations and R-Value on 4 samples of the existing Class 2 aggregate base. • Obtain a City of Tulare Encroachment Permit

BACKGROUND/EXPLANATION:
The Capital Improvements Projects (CIP) Dashboard for June 2022 is attached reflecting the quarterly status of capital projects highlighting the timeline, budgets, percentage complete, and notes indicating specific activity related to each project. The dashboard provides a visual summary of the overall progress of the projects for the City Council’s edification.
Background information related to the policies for projects, and additional information related to the attached report is presented below.
On December 16, 2014, the Tulare City Council adopted the Tulare Project Management System Program Policy (TPMS). The goal of the TPMS is to help the City accomplish significant projects on time, within budget, and in accordance with each project’s clearly defined scope. The TPMS utilizes a systematic approach to project management with the following goals:
• Establish consistency in how projects are managed;
• Create department 5-year project plans;
• Improve pre-planning and preparation;
• Identify and implement management policies and procedures; • Improve project cost tracking and project delivery;
• Formalize and improve project reporting; and
• Review and evaluate project successes or failures upon completion in order to improve on future projects.
Pursuant to the City Council’s request, Staff provides quarterly Capital Improvement Projects Dashboards for all major capital projects that fall under the City Council’s purview. The dashboards identify the project number, project title, project phase, project manager, start date, end date, budget, expenditures/encumbrances, and special notes.
The color metric contained on the dashboard reflects the current state of the project. Projects shown in BLUE are in the Design Phase. Projects shown in GREEN are in the Environmental or Right of Way Acquisition Phase. Projects shown in ORANGE are those that are in the Construction or Implementation Phase.

Submitting Department: Police
For Council Meeting of: June 21, 2022
Documents Attached: ☐Ordinance ☐Resolution ☒Other ☐None AGENDA ITEM:
Authorize the City Manager to sign a contract for the purchase of a Flex CAD/RMS system from Motorola Solutions in the amount of $938,386.73 and authorize a 10% contingency in the amount of $93,838.67, for a total maximum contract amount of $1,032,225.40.
IS PUBLIC HEARING REQUIRED: ☐Yes ☒No
BACKGROUND/EXPLANATION:
Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) and Records Management Systems (RMS) are standard tools in the operations of law enforcement agencies all over the world. The Tulare Police Department has utilized CAD and RMS software packages for many years. The technology allows the department to electronically and digitally manage operations, including intake, dispatching, and tracking of public calls for service as well as the management of department records, such as crime reports and citations.
The current CAD/RMS system for the Tulare Police Department has been in place since 1997.
At that time, the Tulare Police Department selected TracNet Solutions. TracNet Solutions has served the Tulare Police Department with an excellent product and services for many years; however, the Department has outgrown the capabilities of the current software. As a growing law enforcement agency, the Department requires tools and features that are not available using the TracNet solution.
The proposed system will include Automated Vehicle Location (AVL) that will allow dispatch to see the current location of police and fire vehicles. Additionally, new mapping tools will allow for more efficient allocation of resources and new dashboard capabilities will allow easier access to information. Included in the project is the transition of the Tulare Fire Department to be dispatched by the Tulare Police Department resulting in a gross cost savings of approximately $125,000 annually.
On February 15, 2022, the City Council adopted Resolution 2022-05 allocating $1,180,000 of ARPA funds to be used for Police and Fire CAD/RMS Replacement. This contract represents a significant portion of the project. There are additional hardware and software components that will use the balance of funding to have a complete functional system.
Included in this this contract is a performance bond for the implementation of the system for a cost of $44,265.00.
This is a sole source purchase. The Motorola Flex CAD/RMS system (previously known as Spillman Flex) is either currently in use or under contract to be used by multiple law enforcement agencies in our geographic area. Some of these agencies include: County of AGENDA ITEM: Consent 10
Tulare, City of Visalia, and City of Porterville. Included in the system is the technological capability to share information between and among agencies. Concurrent with installation of the Motorola system, staff will pursue establishment of Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) with our partner agencies to create and implement information sharing protocols with the end result being a more comprehensive regional approach to public safety dispatch and records management services.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the City Manager to sign a contract for the purchase of a Flex CAD/RMS system from Motorola Solutions in the amount of $938,386.73 and authorize a 10% contingency in the amount of $93,838.67, for a total maximum contract amount of $1,032,225.40.

IS PUBLIC HEARING REQUIRED: ☐Yes ☒No
BACKGROUND/EXPLANATION:
The Tulare Joint Union High School District (District), which serves approximately 5,700 students, lacks sufficient pool space to accommodate their students. Currently, two of the District’s three comprehensive high schools have a pool; the current pools are also utilized by the community swim groups and the City of Tulare recreation summer swim program.
Unfortunately, the current pools no longer meet the needs of the District, as well as the City and the community. To address this unmet demand, an aquatics complex is proposed at Mission Oak High School to provide a safe and accessible environment and meet the needs of students as well as the general public. The District requested financial assistance from the City to help fund the proposed aquatics complex at Mission Oak High School.
On February 15, 2022, the Tulare City Council unanimously approved the commitment of $500,000 of American Recovery Plan Act (ARPA) funds towards the District’s planned 50- meter pool project at Mission Oak High School. In turn, the City will receive a 20-year commercial swimming pool lease agreement comprised of four five-year options with the District utilizing the Tulare Western High School pool for the City of Tulare’s summer recreation aquatic programs.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the City Manager or designee to sign a 20-year commercial lease agreement with the Tulare Joint Union High School District to provide summer aquatic recreation programming services at the Tulare Western High School pool.

Approve a short-term deferred improvement agreement with Presidio JJR Kensington II 100, LLC, a Delaware Limited Liability Company, allowing the construction of the De La Vina Street & Cartmill Avenue intersection traffic signal improvements for Phases 3 and 4 of the Kensington Estates subdivision to be deferred for a maximum of two (2) years, or prior to the City’s acceptance of the required public improvements for Phase 4 of the Kensington Estates subdivision, whichever occurs first.
IS PUBLIC HEARING REQUIRED: ☐Yes ☒No
BACKGROUND/EXPLANATION:
Presidio JJR Kensington II 100, LLC is the Subdivider of Phases 3 and 4 of the Kensington Estates subdivision, which is located along the north side of Cartmill Avenue west of Mooney Boulevard. These subdivision phases consist of 55 and 63 single-family residential lots respectively. Phase 3 is currently under construction, and the Subdivider is seeking to record the final map and proceed with development of Phase 4.
As a condition of Planning Commission Resolution No. 5379, the Subdivider is required to construct at the intersection of De La Vina Street & Cartmill Avenue traffic signal installation.
The Subdivider has neared completion of all required public improvements for Phase 3 of the Kensington Estates subdivision, with the exception of De La Vina Street & Cartmill Avenue traffic signal installation. The Subdivider is wanting to proceed with recordation of the final map for Phase 4 and to commence its development. However, there is a provision in the City’s standard subdivision improvement agreement for Phase 3 that does not allow for the issuance of building permits in a subsequent phase until a Notice of Completion has been approved for Phase 3. As a result, the delays in completion of the De La Vina Street & Cartmill Avenue traffic signal installation for Phase 3 is preventing the Subdivider from moving forward with the development of Phase 4.
The Subdivider is requesting to enter into a short-term deferred improvement agreement with the City for the De La Vina Street & Cartmill Avenue traffic signal installation associated with Phase 3 of the Kensington Estates subdivision. By securing these improvements through a separate agreement, the requirements of the Phase 3 subdivision improvement agreement could be deemed as met, and a Notice of Completion could be approved, after completion of all required public improvements, for Phase 3. This would allow the Subdivider to move forward with development of Phase 4, while still providing the City with the necessary assurances that required De La Vina Street & Cartmill Avenue traffic signal installation will be completed. The term of the proposed short-term deferred improvement agreement for the installation of the De La Vina Street & Cartmill Avenue traffic signal installation would be a AGENDA ITEM: Consent 13
maximum of two (2) years, or prior to the City’s acceptance of required public improvements for Phase 4 of the Kensington Estates subdivision, whichever comes first. Presidio JJR Kensington II 100, LLC will be required to provide the City with a performance bond or other acceptable security equal to 115% of the proposed improvement cost (total improvement cost plus 5% for each year the improvements can be deferred).
Copies of the proposed short-term deferred improvement agreement and Planning Commission Resolution No. 5379 are attached for reference.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Approve a short-term deferred improvement agreement with Presidio JJR Kensington II 100, LLC, a Delaware Limited Liability Company, allowing the construction of the De La Vina Street & Cartmill Avenue intersection traffic signal improvements for Phases 3 and 4 of the Kensington Estates subdivision to be deferred for a maximum of two (2) years, or prior to the City’s acceptance of the required public improvements for Phase 4 of the Kensington Estates subdivision, whichever occurs first.
