Agenda Memo - May 6, 2025

11.3 Replace Existing FARO (Focus Laser Scanner).

Recommended Action: (1) Authorize the establishment of an Equipment Replacement appropriation of $60,952.02 and use of Equipment Replacement for purchase of a 3D Laser scanner for the Police Department; and
(2) Authorize the purchase of a FARO 3D Laser Scanner for the Police Department from ZNet Tech, LLC of Olney, Maryland, utilizing U.S. General Services Administration (“GSA”) Contract #47QTCA18D003S in the amount of $60,952.02 and authorize a 5% contingency of $3,048 for a total not to exceed the amount of $64,000. [G. Merrill] Summary: A 3D scene scanner is a critical tool for police departments, enabling precise 3D documentation of crime scenes, accident sites, and other forensic investigations. However, over time, these devices can become outdated or unreliable due to technological advancements and wear from continuous use. Older models may suffer from slower processing speeds, reduced accuracy, and compatibility issues with newer software, making it difficult for police department personnel to efficiently capture and analyze critical evidence. To maintain the highest standards in forensic documentation, replacing an aging Faro scanner with a modern version is essential for ensuring accuracy and efficiency in investigations.

Law enforcement agencies must ensure that their forensic tools remain compliant with industry standards and legal requirements. Courts expect high-quality, accurate digital reconstructions, and an outdated scanner may not meet the evidentiary standards necessary for admissibility in court. As criminal cases increasingly rely on advanced forensic technology, police departments must proactively replace older scanners to avoid potential legal challenges. Upgrading to a new Faro scanner not only enhances operational efficiency but also strengthens the integrity of forensic investigations, ultimately improving the department's ability to serve and protect the community.

The current 3D scene scanner for Tulare Police Department was purchased in July,2019. We have been notified by the manufacturer that is no longer recommended to be used as a primary and needs to be replaced. The old scanner will be retained and used as a training device.

Fiscal Impact & Funding Source(s): This appropriation requires the use of Equipment Replacement Fund unassigned fund balance of $60,952.02 from Police Equipment. There are sufficient funds available in the Equipment Replacement, Police Equipment for this purchase.

Legal Review: This item does not require legal review.

Alternative Action: 1) Approve with changes; 2) Deny; or 3) Table.

11.4 Second Reading and Adoption of Ordinance 2025-05.

Chapter 8.37- Public Property Exclusion is proposed to assist city staff when dealing with habitual offenders on public property. This ordinance will give city staff additional authority to exclude those habitual offenders from public properties for a specified amount of time. It also Tulare City Council Page 4 of 17
Agenda Memo - May 6, 2025
outlines the hearing process and sets time frames for these hearings to ensure due process has been met. This ordinance also outlines the penalty for failure to comply with the regulations.

Chapter 8.38 – Encampments on Public Property is proposed to protect the life, health, and safety of all people in the City. Certain public lands within the geographical boundaries of the City pose significant health and safety hazards to the people who make shelter or stay overnight in these areas. Additionally, some of these public lands are environmentally sensitive and may be significantly damaged by unregulated human activity. It is the purpose of this Division to set standards for the preservation and protection of human life, health, and safety, to further the preservation and protection of sensitive public lands, and to prevent destruction of these assets.

As proposed, this ordinance would be enforceable at all times, regardless of the availability of shelter space or beds.

The City Council passed to print the ordinance at the April 15 Council meeting. The ordinance is being presented for second reading and adoption.

Fiscal Impact & Funding Source(s): There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.

Legal Review: This item has been reviewed by legal counsel, and all suggestions/revisions have been updated.

Alternative Action: 1) Approve with changes; 2) Deny; or 3) Table. If the proposed revisions are not approved, the City will see an increase of encampments on public property, an increase in public health and safety matters, and visual blight in the City.

11.5 Adding Annexed Territory to Council District.

In 2021/2022, after the federal decennial census and under the Fair and Inclusive Redistricting for Municipalities and Political Subdivisions (FAIR MAPS) Act (AB 849), the City Council held numerous redistricting public hearings. On March 15, 2022, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2022-07, adjusting the boundaries of City Council Election Districts following the 2020 United States Census.

Pursuant to the California Elections Code (EC), after redistricting, a city council shall not adopt new council district boundaries until after the next federal decennial census, except under the following circumstances: 1) court order; 2) the council is settling a legal claim that its boundaries violate the U.S. Constitution, the federal Voting Rights Act; 3) the boundaries of the city change by the addition of territory due to annexation or by subtraction of territory; 4) the number of council members by districts is increased or decreased; or 5) an independent redistricting commission is established to adopt new council districts between federal decennial census. (EC § 21625, subd. (a))
On October 9, 2024, Annexation 2023-01, East Tulare No. 37 Mission Creek, was approved by the Tulare County Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO). This annexation added approximately 39.25 acres to the City of Tulare located at the Southwest corner of Bardsley Avenue and the Oakmore Street alignment.

Tulare City Council Page 5 of 17
Agenda Memo - May 6, 2025
Since the annexation adds territory to the City, state law specifies that the City Council shall add the new territory to the nearest existing council district without changing the boundaries of other council districts. (EC § 21623, subd. (a))
City staff reviewed the City’s current boundaries and recommends the annexed area be absorbed by District 5 as the annexed area is adjacent to District 5. Accordingly, District 5 is the most appropriate designation until the City reviews its boundaries during the next decennial census.

Upon City Council adoption and approval, the City Clerk will transmit the City Council action to the County of Tulare Registrar of Voters (ROV). The City’s next regular municipal election is November 3, 2026. The City is not expected to adjust voting districts until the next decennial census in 2030.

Fiscal Impact & Funding Source(s): There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.

Legal Review: This item does not require legal review.

Alternative Action: 1) Approve with changes; 2) Deny; or 3) Table.

11.6 Purchase of Bauer Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus Air Compressor.

Recommended Action: Authorize the City Manager to approve the purchase of a new Bauer Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) Air Compressor in the amount of $91,953.40 utilizing California State Purchasing Contract and approve the appropriation of up to $96,953.40 in Equipment Replacement Fund 623-4623-7702 for this project. [M. Ott] Summary: The fire department is requesting approval for the City Manager to execute a contract with Bauer Compressors of Livermore, California in the amount of $91,953.40 to purchase, deliver, install, and provide training to City of Tulare Fire Department personnel a new SCBA air compressor. The contracted price is $91,953.40 with a request for an additional allocation of up to $5,000 for Facilities Maintenance to ensure all electrical requirements are installed or upgrades to meet the specifications of the new compressor.

Currently, the fire department has a 16-year-old Bauer 2-bay fill station compressor at Fire Station 61. Over the past few months, this unit has required extensive maintenance and was out of service for 10 days. Thus, reducing the capabilities of the fire department to fill their SCBA after emergency response and ensure firefighters have safe and dependable breathing air. Like all mechanical equipment, aging, wear and tear is inevitable, and this compressor can no longer be reliable for use as the primary means to fill firefighter SCBA bottles. Additionally, with the increased staffing and the utilization of more SCBA bottles during emergency response, the likely hood of more frequent breakdowns is probable and costly. As this unit only has 2-bays to fill SCBA bottles, it takes approximately 2-3-hours to re-fill the bottle and make ready for the next emergency. Finally, whereas the fire department has back-up equipment like fire engines, Jaws of Life…etc. as second count during lifesaving interventions, this compressor still has some use. It will be relocated to Fire Station 63 as a back-up and will be utilized during training exercises at that location.

The new Bauer Unicus 4S/18H-E3 is equipped with a 3-bay filling station and new technology to fill SCBA bottles more efficiently and safer. Therefore, reducing the filling time from 2-3 hours to around 1.5 hours, which expedites getting the fire crews back in service to provide fast emergency response. Bauer is the department’s current maintenance contractor which will provide consistency in the equipment’s care and serviceability for its lifespan.

Tulare City Council Page 6 of 17
Agenda Memo - May 6, 2025
Fiscal Impact & Funding Source(s): This project requires appropriation and use of Equipment Replacement Fund (Fund 623) unassigned fund balance of $96,953.40.

Legal Review: This item does not require legal review.

Alternative Action: 1) Approve with changes; 2) Deny; or 3) Table.

11.7 Regional Surface Transportation Program Exchange Fund Claim.

Recommended Action: Adopt a resolution authorizing the City Finance Director to file a claim with the Tulare County Association of Governments (TCAG) for the City of Tulare’s Fiscal Year 2024-2025 apportionment of Regional Surface Transportation Program funds. [M. Miller] Summary: Each year, the City receives an apportionment of federal Regional Surface Transportation Program (RSTP) funds in exchange for State Highway Account funds from the Tulare County Association of Governments (TCAG). For Fiscal Year 2024-2025, the amount of RSTP funds available to claim from TCAG is $455,751.77.

In order for the City to receive distribution of RSTP funds, TCAG requires a Resolution of the City Council authorizing a specific person to file the claim form. Attached is a draft Resolution authorizing the Finance Director to sign and submit the claim to TCAG for RSTP funds in the amount of $455,751.77 For Fiscal Year 2024-2025. The funds will be allocated to CIP Project EN0074 – Cross Avenue Improvements. This project is programmed in the City’s Capital Improvement Program for Fiscal Years 2023/2024 thru 2027/2028.

Fiscal Impact & Funding Source(s): There is no immediate fiscal impact associated with this authorization. Upon successful claim and award of RSTP funds, staff will return to the City Council for approval and appropriation of the funds to the Gas Tax Fund, as required by TCAG.

Legal Review: This item does not require legal review.

Alternative Action: 1) Approve with changes; 2) Deny - Denial would result in the loss of RSTP funding allocated to the City for Fiscal Year 2024-2025; or 3) Table - Delay in the adoption of the subject resolution could jeopardize the RSTP funding allocation.

11.8 Design Consultant Contract Amendment for Project EN0097.

Recommended Action: Authorize the City Manager or designee to sign a $47,000 contract amendment with Peters Engineering Group of Clovis, CA, for additional design services related to CIP Project EN0097 – International AgriCenter Way Extension. [M. Miller] Summary: On December 20, 2022, City Council approved a contract with Peters Engineering Group (P.E.G.) of Clovis, CA in the amount of $324,555 for topographic surveying, geotechnical analysis, design, bidding and construction support services for Project EN0097, a street and utility improvement project to extend International AgriCenter Way (IAC Way) from Laspina Street to Turner Drive. At the time, the project scope contemplated the extension of a gravity sewer main in International AgriCenter Way from Turner Drive as far to the west as the topography of the terrain would allow. As design of the project progressed, it became apparent that such a design would only allow for the sewer main to be extended to a location less than half the distance to Laspina Street. Significant portions of the properties that are expected to develop as a result of the new IAC Way interchange and the extension of IAC Way would be faced with the challenge on not being served by City sewer. In response, on October 17, 2024, the Board of Public Utilities authorized Carollo Engineers, Inc. to perform a sewer needs assessment to determine recommended solutions to serve the area. The findings of the Carollo study recommended the following improvements to provide service:

Tulare City Council Page 7 of 17
Agenda Memo - May 6, 2025
• construction of a sanitary sewer lift station located on IAC Way in close proximity to its intersection with Laspina Street,
• construction of a sewer force main in IAC Way to pump flows from the lift station upgradient to Turner Drive, and
• construction of a gravity sewer in the westerly portion of the IAC Way extension to provide points of connection to adjacent properties.

The cost of constructing these improvements would pose a significant challenge to any individual property owner seeking to develop their property. Furthermore, installation of these improvements after construction of the IAC Way extension would require excavation and trenching in the new roadway. Incorporating the improvements into Project EN0097 is the preferred course of action. To that end, staff requested that P.E.G. provide a proposed contract addendum to incorporate the additional sewer improvements into their design. Staff also requested that P.E.G. include a work element to assist the City with the preparation and processing of all documentation associated with the $4 million in federal earmark funding allocated to the project. The proposed contract amendment from P.E.G. is attached for reference and would result in additional fees of $47,000. Project Management has reviewed the proposed contract amendment and concluded that the suggested costs are reasonable and in line with engineering consultant costs encountered on similar City projects.

Fiscal Impact & Funding Source(s): Additional costs would be charged to project account string EN0097-050-0200, “Professional Services/Consultant.” The funding sources contributing to this project include:
• Measure R Local
• Streets DIF Fund
• Water DIF Fund
• Sewer DIF Fund
• Other General Fund CIP
• Private Party Contributions (Benefit District)
• Federal Earmark
Legal Review: This item does not require legal review.

Alternative Action: 1) Approve with changes - Staff would work to incorporate any changes or recommendations directed by Council; 2) Deny - Should Council deny the request to amend the existing design contract with P.E.G., the City would not be able to incorporate sewer improvements necessary to serve properties in the vicinity of the International AgriCenter Way interchange into the project; or 3) Table - Postponing the amendment to the contract with P.E.G. could delay the project schedule and risk the loss of $4 million in federal funding.

11.9 Purchase Portable Restroom Trailers for CIP for Project PK0033.

Recommended Action: Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute a contract for $112,899.35 with Ready 2 Go Restroom Trailer Sales LLC of Pittsburgh, GA, to procure portable restrooms as part of Project PK0033 Zumwalt Park Renovation. [M. Miller] Summary: On September 5, 2023, the City Council awarded contracts for the construction of the Zumwalt Park Renovation Project. This exciting initiative involved a complete redesign of the park, showcasing new amenities that are poised to drive the redevelopment and revitalization of Downtown Tulare. The improvements feature welcoming concrete flatwork, enhanced lighting, and landscaping upgrades, a brand-new playground, an engaging splash Tulare City Council Page 8 of 17
Agenda Memo - May 6, 2025
pad, an expanded restroom building, secure fencing, informative signage, and enhanced onsite utilities. Additionally, the existing gazebo will be beautifully renovated with new roofing, addressing crucial electrical and ADA accessibility improvements. The crowning addition to the park is the stunning new amphitheater building and stage, promising to be a vibrant hub for community events and gatherings.

The on-site restroom building includes a facility with six stalls, complemented by three additional restrooms at the amphitheater. This arrangement effectively supports daily park activities.

However, occupancy regulations require us to offer more restrooms during concerts or events.

For the initial trial concerts held in the Fall of 2024, the City rented portable restroom trailers for ADA and VIP use. While that solution was adequate, staff believes that the City’s purchase of its own portable restroom trailers would result in cost savings over time. Additionally, the City could utilize the restroom trailers for other City sponsored events held downtown or elsewhere in the community. Recognizing the benefit these units could provide, both the Chamber of Commerce and Tulare Downtown Association enthusiastically support the purchase.

Additionally, they offer guests a climate-controlled environment, equipped with air conditioning and a heating strip. The cost of the ADA mobile restroom trailer would be $64,596.31, and the cost of the standard mobile restroom trailer would be $48,303.04. If approved by Council at this meeting, the vendor has indicated that delivery could occur prior to the first scheduled concert at Adventist Health Amphitheater on May 23.

Fiscal Impact & Funding Source(s): It is proposed that the purchase cost be changed to Project Account PK0033-050-0999, “Project Contingency”. Funding sources for Project PK0033 include:
• ARPA Federal Grant
• Parks DIF Fund
• Other General Fund CIP
• ENGIE Loan Proceeds
Legal Review: This item does not require legal review.

Alternative Action: 1) Approve with changes - Staff would work to incorporate any changes or recommendations directed by the Council; 2) Deny - If the Council denies the request to purchase the portable restrooms, the City will need to continue renting restrooms for every event; or 3) Table - Postponing the procurement of the restrooms may result in the City forfeiting its quoted price. Given current uncertainties in world markets, it is likely that subsequent quotes would result in higher costs.

11.10 Notice of Completion for Mooney Boulevard Frontage Improvements.

Recommended Action: (1) Accept as complete the required public works improvements for Mooney Boulevard frontage associated with Phases 2 and 3 of The Greens at Oak Creek residential subdivision;
(2) Authorize the City Engineer to sign a Notice of Completion (NOC); and Tulare City Council Page 9 of 17
Agenda Memo - May 6, 2025
(3) Direct the City Clerk to file the NOC with the Tulare County Recorder’s Office. [M. Miller] Summary: D.R. Horton CA3, Inc. entered into a short term deferred improvement agreement recorded on October 10, 2022 (Document No. 2022-0061657) for Mooney Boulevard (Hwy 63) frontage improvements, including installation of curb and gutter, sidewalk, full pave out from lip of gutter to existing edge of pavement, street lights, and backing lot treatment (landscaping, irrigation, block wall) required for Phases 2 and 3 of The Greens at Oak Creek subdivision per Planning Commission Resolution No. 5248. The developer has completed construction of all required public works improvements in accordance with the approved plans and specifications for this development.

Fiscal Impact & Funding Source(s): There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.

Legal Review: The City’s standard NOC format has been reviewed and approved as to form by the City Attorney.

Alternative Action: 1) Approve with changes; 2) Deny - Not approving the NOC would prevent the City from maintaining backing lot treatment, sidewalk, and street lights and would also prevent the City from releasing the bonding currently on file with the City Clerk, which would require the developer to continue to pay for bonding until an NOC is recorded; or 3) Table - A delay in the City accepting the improvements would require the Developer to incur additional costs to maintain bonding for the required improvements.

11.11 Purchase of 8 Self-Contained-Breathing-Apparatus and Accessories.

Recommended Action: Authorize the City Manager to approve the purchase of 8 SelfContained-Breathing-Apparatus (SCBA) and accessories in the amount of $80,563.98. [M. Ott] Summary: The Fire Department requests City Manager approval to execute a purchase agreement with Cascade Fire Equipment of Medford, Oregon, for the acquisition of eight SelfContained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) units and related accessories, totaling $80,563.98.

Cascade Fire Equipment was previously selected in December 2022 through a SourceWell statewide contract for the department’s initial SCBA purchase, which was partially funded by a FEMA grant. To ensure consistency with our current SCBA manufacturer and model, as well as to streamline maintenance, training, and warranty service, the department recommends purchasing the additional SCBAs directly from Cascade Fire Equipment at a non-contracted price. Following a thorough review, it was determined that the non-contracted price is $34,885.08 lower than the contracted options, providing a significant cost savings to the City.

These eight additional SCBAs are critical to completing the department’s full SCBA replacement initiative—ensuring that all response vehicles are fully equipped. This purchase also supports the department’s increased staffing under the FEMA SAFER Grant and allows for a limited number of back-up units to ensure operational readiness.

SCBAs are vital components of the personal protective equipment (PPE) ensemble worn by firefighters and play a crucial role in protecting their health and safety during emergency responses.

Fiscal Impact & Funding Source(s): This project requires appropriation and use of Equipment Replacement Fund (Fund 623) unassigned fund balance of $80,563.98.

Legal Review: This item does not require legal review.

11.12 Downtown Tulare Property-Based Improvement District Committee Appointments.

Recommended Action: Appoint additional members to the Downtown Tulare Property-Based Improvement District (PBID) Committee to include Jennifer Gomez (replacing Marc Mondell), Chris Beck, Don LeBaron, Lino Pimentel, and Steven Macias. [J. Gomez] Summary: The current PBID committee that was appointed in January by the City Council attempted to meet a deadline for the FY2025/2026 tax assessment rolls, however, it was decided that further discussions should take place with property owners. Therefore, the process has been pushed, and the Committee will work toward approval for the FY2026/2027 tax assessment rolls. A tentative timeline has been attached for your reference.

To provide more collaboration with property owners, City staff request that the City Council appoint additional members to the committee to conduct outreach, discuss the proposed fee, and gather feedback.

Original appointments included the following:
• Patrick Isherwood, Mayor (Chairman)
• Donnette Silva Carter, President Tulare Chamber of Commerce (or her assign) • John Harman, Director (Tulare Downtown Association) (or his assign) • Gladys Gonzalez, Senior Management Analyst (Economic Development) • Marc Mondell, City Manager
Staff recommend that the City Council appoint the following additional individuals to the Committee:
• Chris Beck, property owner
• Don LeBaron, property owner
• Lino Pimentel, property owner
• Steven Macias, property owner
• Jennifer Gomez, Exec. Director of Economic Development & Redevelopment (Economic Development) to replace City Manager Marc Mondell
As the current agreement with NBS Services is coming to an end, City staff has requested the consultant to provide a new contract to continue the efforts of creating a PBID. If this amended contract is in excess of $50,000, staff will bring it back to City Council for approval.

Fiscal Impact & Funding Source(s): Additional costs will be incurred for services provided by NBS Services. The Council will be informed of this amount once submitted by the consultant.

Legal Review: This item was reviewed and approved by legal counsel.

Alternative Action: 1) Approve with changes; 2) Deny; or 3) Table.

11.13 Parcel Map Acceptance – TPM 2023-02.

Recommended Action: Approve the Parcel Map filed by Darshan Singh and Jagroop Sing, members of Jagroop & Taran Properties, LLC, a Michigan limited liability company, for the division of land located on the southeast corner of Prosperity Avenue and West Street for recordation, and accept all easements and dedications offered to the City. [M. Miller] Tulare City Council Page 11 of 17
Agenda Memo - May 6, 2025
Summary: Tentative Parcel Map No. 2023-02 filed by Darshan Singh and Jagroop Sing would create seven parcels from one existing 7.2 acre parcel (zoned as C-3 retail commercial). The map was approved by the City of Tulare Parcel Map Committee on January 22, 2024. Parcel 1 would be 1.02 acre, Parcel 2 would be 1.12 acre, Parcel 3 would be 0.85 acre, Parcel 4 would be 0.92 acre, Parcel 5 would be 1.52 acre, Parcel 6 would be 1.32 acre and Parcel 7 would be

0.62 acre. A 6-foot public utility easement dedicated to the City along the parcels’ Prosperity Avenue and West Street frontages is provided on Map.

Fiscal Impact & Funding Source(s): There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.

Legal Review: The parcel map will be reviewed for compliance with applicable legal requirements prior to recordation.

Alternative Action: 1) Approve with changes - Changes may result in delay to project continuing and additional financial burden to applicant; 2) Deny - Construction would not be permitted and would not allow for future development to occur; or 3) Table - The delay resulting from tabling the item could adversely impact the Developer’s project financing and completion.

11.14 Initiate Proceedings for Formation of Landscape Maintenance District 2025-01.

Recommended Action: Adopt a resolution initiating proceedings for the formation of Landscape Maintenance District 2025-01 for the Mission Creek Subdivision, and setting May 20, 2025, as the date for a public hearing regarding the same. [M. Miller] Summary: The Owners and Developers of the approved Mission Creek tentative subdivision map have petitioned the City to establish an assessment district for their proposed development located at the southwest corner of Bardsley Avenue and Oakmore Street. This assessment district will provide for the following:
• maintenance of landscaping, irrigation systems, pedestrian sidewalks, and block walls associated with common lot areas within the district boundaries, • supplemental maintenance of local streets within the district boundaries, • maintenance of a neighborhood park and associated appurtenances located within a common lot area within the district boundaries, and
• maintenance of a storm water retention basin.

A public hearing is required and is requested to be set for May 20, 2025. Adoption of the attached resolution is the initial step in the formation of the assessment district. The resolution initiates the proceedings for the establishment of the district, and sets May 20, 2025, as the date for the public hearing that is required prior to Council’s consideration of finalizing the district formation.

Fiscal Impact & Funding Source(s): There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.

Legal Review: This item does not require legal review.

Alternative Action: 1) Approve with changes - Could delay the proposed development of the Mission Creek Subdivision; 2) Deny - Denial would result in there being no mechanism for the assessment of fees to maintain landscaping and park improvements within the common lot areas of the Mission Creek Subdivision. Additionally, there would be no supplemental maintenance provided for streets within the district boundaries; or 3) Table - Tabling the item could delay the processing and approval of the pending Mission Creek Subdivision final map.

11.15 CLOCEA Clarifying Side Letter.

Recommended Action: Approve a Side Letter of Agreement with the California League of City Employees Association (CLOCEA) regarding clarifying revisions and amendments to Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) adopted October 15, 2024. [S. Oneal; M. Zamora] Summary: The City has met and conferred with CLOCEA and have reached an agreement on clarifying revisions and necessary amendments to the MOU adopted October 15, 2024. These changes are outlined on the attached Side Letter of Agreement and summarized below:
• Section XIV Salary: This section shall be repealed and replaced to correct salary adjustments for certain classifications that were reclassified during the recent compensation study. Initially, only Cost of Living Adjustments were applied, which inadvertently resulted in these positions earning less than the employees they supervise or are above in Year 3 of the MOU. The Side Letter proposes the following salary increases in Fiscal Years 2025/26 and 2026/27 to rectify the issue:

The revised language will also address a typographical error present in the original document.
• Section K Paid Holidays: This paragraph shall be repealed. It was mistakenly included to align with 3/12 and 4/12 shift schedule employees; however, dispatch employee holiday pay is already defined in the existing agreement and does not require further amendment.

Fiscal Impact & Funding Source(s): These proposed compensation modifications will be included in the proposed fiscal year 2025-26 budget.

Legal Review: The City Attorney has reviewed this item.

Alternative Action: 1) Approve with changes; 2) Provide staff direction; 3) Deny; or 4) Table.

Any changes or staff direction would require an additional meet and confer with CLOCEA. If the Side Letter is not approved, ambiguity and confusion surrounding the current language in the MOU will persist.

11.16 Sorrento Mooney Boulevard Short-term Deferred Improvement Agreement.

Recommended Action: Approve a short-term deferred improvement agreement with SJV Horizontal, LLC allowing the construction of frontage improvements along the west side of Mooney Boulevard (State Route 63) from Cartmill Avenue to Ribolla Avenue to be deferred for a maximum of four (4) years, or prior to the City’s acceptance of the required public improvements for the Sorrento subdivision, whichever occurs first. [M. Miller] Summary: SJV Horizontal, LLC (the Developer) is proposing to develop Phases 1 and 2 of the Sorrento Subdivision, located on the west side of Mooney Boulevard (State Route 63) between Cartmill Avenue and Ribolla Avenue, as a single phase. This subdivision will consist of 109 single-family residential lots. Per the conditions of approval for the Sorrento tentative subdivision Tulare City Council Page 13 of 17
Agenda Memo - May 6, 2025
map, Mooney Boulevard (State Route 63) frontage improvements, including the undergrounding of overhead utilities, were required for the project’s frontage.

The City’s standard subdivision improvement agreement contains the following provisions which could impact the Subdivider’s ability to build and sell homes in the subdivision: “If a Notice of Completion has not been filed for the required Improvements within the time limits outlined in this Agreement, no additional building permits shall be issued until said Notice has been filed, or a new subdivision improvement agreement extending the timeline for completion has been approved by the Tulare City Council.”
Based on their experience in trying to design, permit and construct identical improvements along the Mooney Boulevard frontages of the Kensington Estates and Willow Glen subdivisions, the Subdivider anticipates that completion of the Mooney Boulevard frontage improvements could take four years. With the aforementioned provisions of the subdivision improvement agreement, such a timeline would certainly require the Subdivider to request multiple time extensions. To avoid the need for such extension requests, the Subdivider is asking to enter into a short-term deferred improvement agreement with the City for their Mooney Boulevard frontage improvements. This separate agreement along with associated surety would serve to secure completion of the frontage improvements, allowing for them to be separated from the other improvements tied to the subdivision improvement agreement. As the majority of the other improvements have already been completed, there would likely be no need to seek time extensions to the subdivision improvement agreement. The suggested term of the deferred improvement agreement is four years, based upon the Subdivider’s prior experience. Council could direct that the term of the agreement be shortened, which would have the effect of providing Council with a greater level of oversight regarding progress of the deferred improvements.

With the deferred improvement agreement, SJV Horizontal, LLC will be required to provide the City with a performance bond or other acceptable surety equal to 120% of the proposed improvement cost (total improvement cost plus 5% for each year that the improvements can be deferred) to secure their performance of the Mooney Boulevard improvements.

As has previously been shared with Council, staff has been negotiating with the Subdivider to incorporate the improvements of City CIP Project EN0101 – “Tesori-Bella Oaks Improvements” into the scope of their Mooney Boulevard frontage improvements. The engineer for both the City project and Sorrento subdivision are actively designing the improvements and working on cost estimates. Staff anticipates that this effort will be completed by July, at which time a Development agreement between the City and Subdivider for a joint project could be brought to Council for consideration. If a development agreement is executed, the Sorrento subdivision short-term deferred improvement agreement would be redundant and would no longer be necessary. It could be voided in conjunction with Council’s approval of the development agreement
Fiscal Impact & Funding Source(s): There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.

Legal Review: The deferred improvement agreement has been reviewed and approved as to form by the City Attorney.

Alternative Action: 1) Approve with changes; 2) Deny - The City is collaborating with SJV Horizontal on a development agreement to complete the Sorrento and Tesori-Bella Oaks Mooney Boulevard frontage improvements as a single project. Rejecting the deferred improvement agreement could potentially jeopardize the Mooney development agreement between the Developer and the City; or 3) Table - A delay in the City’s approval of the deferred Tulare City Council Page 14 of 17
Agenda Memo - May 6, 2025
improvement agreement will postpone the acceptance of the subdivision's final map, which will consequently delay the construction and occupancy of homes at Sorrento.

11.17 Conditional Final Map Acceptance – Sorrento Subdivision.

Recommended Action: Contingent on Council’s approval of the short-term deferred improvement agreement for the Sorrento Subdivision’s Mooney Boulevard frontage improvements, conditionally approve the final map and subdivision improvement agreement for the Sorrento Subdivision for recordation, and accept all easements and dedications offered to the City, subject to receipt of the signed final map, all fees, and other required items before July 5, 2025. [M. Miller]
Summary: Planning Commission Resolution No. 5475, which was adopted on 03/11/2024, approved the tentative subdivision map for the Sorrento Subdivision. This subdivision is situated on the southwest corner of Cartmill Avenue and Mooney Boulevard (SR 63) and covers approximately 14 acres with a total of 125 single-family lots at full buildout. The development of the subdivision will be done in a single phase.

To streamline the final map approval process, the Subdivider is seeking conditional approval and acceptance from Council. This is subject to the receipt of the signed map, all fees, and other necessary items within 60 days. Such requests for conditional approval have been routinely accommodated.

Fiscal Impact & Funding Source(s): There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.

Legal Review: The final map will be reviewed for compliance with applicable legal requirements prior to recordation.

Alternative Action: 1) Approve with changes - Changes would result in delay to the project schedule; 2) Deny - Construction of the proposed single-family residential construction project would not be permitted; or 3) Table - The delay resulting from tabling this item could adversely impact the Developer’s construction schedule.

12.1 2025-2029 Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (AI), Consolidated Plan, and Citizen Participation Plan Draft Presentation.

Summary: Baker Tilly Advisory Group (“Baker Tilly”), on behalf of the City, conducted citizen participation and consultation activities and drafted the City’s updated 2025-2029 Analysis of Impediments (AI) to Fair Housing Choice, FY2025/26 – FY2029/30 Consolidated Plan, and 2025-2029 Citizen Participation Plan. All of these federal plans will be submitted to the U.S.

Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The AI identifies barriers to equal housing access in the City as well as strategies for addressing these issues. The Consolidated Tulare City Council Page 15 of 17
Agenda Memo - May 6, 2025
Plan is required due to the City’s receipt of federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding. It identifies community and housing needs and lays out priorities based on these needs to be funded with CDBG funds for the next five years. The Citizen Participation Plan describes how the City will involve residents in the planning, implementation and assessment of how CDBG and HOME funds (which the City receives from the State of California) will be used.

Baker Tilly has prepared a presentation to provide an overview of AI and Consolidated Plan requirements and components, as well as summaries of the draft AI, Consolidated Plan, and Citizen Participation Plan documents. The session is intended to inform residents on the contents of these plans as well as the goals, projects, and use of funds (for the Consolidated Plan) proposed in the draft plans. Public comments on the draft plans will be solicited during this time. Formal adoption of the plans will be scheduled for a future city council meeting date.

12.2 Vacancies and Recruitment and Retention Efforts.

Recommended Action: Conduct a public hearing on position vacancies and recruitment and retention efforts as mandated by California Government Code 3502.3. [S. Oneal] Summary: Assembly Bill (“AB”) 2561 of 2024 requires public agencies to hold a public hearing to address the status of job vacancies and recruitment and retention efforts prior to the adoption of the agency’s annual budget.

The legislature’s intent of AB 2561 is to address the issue of job vacancies in local government, which can adversely impact the delivery of public service, may lead to heavier employee workloads, and may also lead to increased employee turnover.

Pursuant to Government Code § 3502.3, the City is required to do the following:

1. Public Hearing: At least once each fiscal year, at a public hearing before the governing body, the City shall present information regarding the status of vacancies and recruitment and retention efforts and identify any necessary changes to policies, procedures and recruitment activities that may lead to obstacles in the hiring process.

2. Employee Organization Participation: Allow the recognized employee organization for each bargaining unit within the City to make presentations during the public hearing concerning vacancies and recruitment and retention efforts. There are four represented bargaining units at the City and all have been notified of the public hearing and advised of their right to address the Council on the matter.

3. Additional Reporting for High Vacancy Rates: If vacancies within a single bargaining unit meet or exceed 20 percent of authorized full-time positions in that bargaining unit, the City must provide additional information during the public hearing, including the following: (1) the total number of vacancies; (2) the number of applicants; (3) the average time to fill positions; ad (4) opportunities to improve compensation and working conditions for employees in the bargaining unit.

Tulare City Council Page 16 of 17
Agenda Memo - May 6, 2025
The following reflects the City’s represented and unrepresented bargaining units’ vacancy rates as of April 15, 2025:

Bargaining Unit Budgeted Vacancies Vacancy Rate
CA League of City Employees Association (CLOCEA)* 214 17 7.9% Tulare Police Officers Union (TPOU)* 61 5 8.2%
Tulare Professional Firefighter Association Mgmt*. 12 0 0% Tulare Professional Firefighter Association Non-Mgmt.* 36 0 0% Unrepresented Tulare Police Management Group (TPMG) 16 0 0% Unrepresented Tulare Fire Division Chief Officer Group 3 2 66.6% Unrepresented Management 49 3 6.1%
Unrepresented Department Heads 12 0 0%
Total 402 27 6.71%
*Represented Bargaining Unit
Compliance
No vacancy rates within any of the City’s four bargaining units meet or exceed 20 percent of authorized full-time positions in that bargaining unit.

The City continues to make improvements to the recruitment process to reduce the length of time to hire, including recruitment process changes, the current HR and financial system conversion underway, and opening of the employee health clinic.

Fiscal Impact & Funding Source(s): There is no fiscal impact associated with conducting this public hearing and receiving this report.

Legal Review: This item was reviewed by the City Attorney.

Alternative Action: 1) Provide staff direction; or 2) Table.

12.3 Resolution of Necessity for a Portion of Property Located at APN 172-040-031.

Miller; M. Zamora]
Summary: Staff has sent several communications to the owners of the subject property to acquire the above-referenced portion of the property (1,821 square feet). This portion of the property needs to be acquired in order to construct a sidewalk along the northside of East Bardsley Avenue as part of the Bardsley Avenue Sidewalk Improvement Project. Staff sent the property owners an initial offer to purchase a portion of the property on October 10, 2024. On February 21, 2025, staff sent the property owners a revised offer, in the sum of twenty-five thousand nine hundred and 00/100 dollars ($25,900.00), which consists of eighteen thousand three hundred and 00/100 dollars ($18,300.00) for a partial property fee acquisition in fee simple consisting of approximately 1,821 square feet and seven thousand six hundred and 00/100 dollars ($7,600.00) for curable damages, which total value represents the fair market value of the property to be acquired using the Sales Comparison approach. The City and the property owners have not been able to reach an agreement.

Staff is asking City Council to adopt a Resolution of Necessity. The City Attorney has prepared the attached Resolution of Necessity as authorized and for adopted by City Council. The Tulare City Council Page 17 of 17
Agenda Memo - May 6, 2025
statutory offer and summary of the basis for just compensation, pursuant to Government Code Sections 7267.1 and 7267.2(a) and prepared by City, have been sent to the owners. Staff has also notified the above owners, in writing via first-class mail, and more than 15 days prior to the Council meeting, that this matter would be scheduled for this meeting’s agenda. In adopting a Resolution of Necessity, the City Council must find that the public interest and necessity require the project, that the project is planned or located in the manner that will be most compatible with the greatest public good and least private injury, and that the property sought to be acquired is necessary for the project. Passage of the Resolution requires a two-thirds vote of all members of the City Council
Fiscal Impact & Funding Source(s): Fiscal impact has yet to be determined.

Legal Review: The proposed resolution was reviewed by the City Attorney.

Alternative Action: 1) Approve with changes; 2) Deny; or 3) Table - A delay in adopting the resolution may delay progress for the Bardsley Avenue Sidewalk Project.

Staff Report
Meeting: City Council
Date: May 6, 2025
Department: Police
Submitted by: Greg Merrill, Captain
Agenda Title: Replace Existing FARO (Focus Laser Scanner)

RECOMMENDED ACTION

1. Authorize the establishment of an Equipment Replacement appropriation of $60,952.02 and use of Equipment Replacement for purchase of a 3D Laser scanner for the Police Department.

2. Authorize the purchase of a FARO 3D Laser Scanner for the Police Department from ZNet Tech, LLC of Olney, Maryland, utilizing U.S. General Services Administration (“GSA”) Contract #47QTCA18D003S in the amount of $60,952.02 and authorize a 5% contingency of $3,048 for a total not to exceed the amount of $64,000.

SUMMARY
A 3D scene scanner is a critical tool for police departments, enabling precise 3D documentation of crime scenes, accident sites, and other forensic investigations. However, over time, these devices can become outdated or unreliable due to technological advancements and wear from continuous use. Older models may suffer from slower processing speeds, reduced accuracy, and compatibility issues with newer software, making it difficult for police department personnel to efficiently capture and analyze critical evidence. To maintain the highest standards in forensic documentation, replacing an aging Faro scanner with a modern version is essential for ensuring accuracy and efficiency in investigations.

FISCAL IMPACT & FUNDING SOURCES
This appropriation requires the use of Equipment Replacement Fund unassigned fund balance of $60,952.02 from Police Equipment. There are sufficient funds available in the Equipment Replacement, Police Equipment for this purchase.

Agenda Title: Adding Annexed Territory to Council District

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt a resolution adopting the revised City Council Election District Boundaries to include the recently annexed territory through the Mission Creek Annexation to Council District 5.

SUMMARY
Since 2012, the City has been comprised of five single-member electoral districts. In 2021/2022, after the federal decennial census and under the Fair and Inclusive Redistricting for Municipalities and Political Subdivisions (FAIR MAPS) Act (AB 849), the City Council held numerous redistricting public hearings.

On March 15, 2022, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2022-07, adjusting the boundaries of City Council Election Districts following the 2020 United States Census.

Constitution, the federal Voting Rights Act; 3) the boundaries of the city change by the addition of territory due to annexation or by subtraction of territory; 4) the number of council members by districts is increased or decreased; or 5) an independent redistricting commission is established to adopt new council districts between federal decennial census. (EC § 21625, subd. (a)) On October 9, 2024, Annexation 2023-01, East Tulare No. 37 Mission Creek, was approved by the Tulare County Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO). This annexation added approximately 39.25 acres to the City of Tulare located at the Southwest corner of Bardsley Avenue and the Oakmore Street alignment.

Since the annexation adds territory to the City, state law specifies that the City Council shall add the new territory to the nearest existing council district without changing the boundaries of other council districts. (EC § 21623, subd. (a))
City staff reviewed the City’s current boundaries and recommends the annexed area be absorbed by District 5 as the annexed area is adjacent to District 5. Accordingly, District 5 is the most appropriate designation until the City reviews its boundaries during the next decennial census.

Agenda Title: Purchase of Bauer Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus Air Compressor

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize the City Manager to approve the purchase of a new Bauer Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) Air Compressor in the amount of $91,953.40 utilizing California State Purchasing Contract and approve the appropriation of up to $96,953.40 in Equipment Replacement Fund 623-4623-7702 for this project.

SUMMARY
The fire department is requesting approval for the City Manager to execute a contract with Bauer Compressors of Livermore, California in the amount of $91,953.40 to purchase, deliver, install, and provide training to City of Tulare Fire Department personnel a new SCBA air compressor. The contracted price is $91,953.40 with a request for an additional allocation of up to $5,000 for Facilities Maintenance to ensure all electrical requirements are installed or upgrades to meet the specifications of the new compressor.

Currently, the fire department has a 16-year-old Bauer 2-bay fill station compressor at Fire Station 61.

Over the past few months, this unit has required extensive maintenance and was out of service for 10 days. Thus, reducing the capabilities of the fire department to fill their SCBA after emergency response and ensure firefighters have safe and dependable breathing air. Like all mechanical equipment, aging, wear and tear is inevitable, and this compressor can no longer be reliable for use as the primary means to fill firefighter SCBA bottles. Additionally, with the increased staffing and the utilization of more SCBA bottles during emergency response, the likely hood of more frequent breakdowns is probable and costly.

As this unit only has 2-bays to fill SCBA bottles, it takes approximately 2-3-hours to re-fill the bottle and make ready for the next emergency. Finally, whereas the fire department has back-up equipment like fire engines, Jaws of Life…etc. as second count during lifesaving interventions, this compressor still has some use. It will be relocated to Fire Station 63 as a back-up and will be utilized during training exercises at that location.

FISCAL IMPACT & FUNDING SOURCES
This project requires appropriation and use of Equipment Replacement Fund (Fund 623) unassigned fund balance of $96,953.40.

PAYMENT
A. Terms
Payment terms for this contract are net forty-five (45) days. Payment will be made in accordance with the provisions of the California Prompt Payment Act, Government Code Section 927, et seq. Unless expressly exempted by statute, the Act requires State departments to pay properly submitted, undisputed invoices not more than fortyfive (45) days after the date of acceptance of goods, performance of services, or receipt of an undisputed invoice, whichever is later.

B. Cal Card Use
State departments may use the CAL-Card for the payment of invoices. Use of the CALCard requires the execution of a Purchasing Authority Purchase Order (Std. 65) and must include all required documentation applicable to the purchase.

The CAL-Card is a payment mechanism, not a procurement approach and, therefore, does not relieve State departments from adhering to all procurement laws, regulations, policies, procedures, and best practices, including those discussed in the State Contracting Manual (SCM) Volume 2. This includes but is not limited to the application of all sales and use tax laws, rules and policies as applicable to the purchase.

C. State Financial Marketplace
State departments reserve the right to select the form of payment for all procurements, be it either an outright purchase with payment rendered directly by the State, or a financing/lease-purchase or operating lease via the State Financial Marketplace (GS $Mart and/or Lease $Mart). If payment is via the financial marketplace, the Contractor will invoice the State department and the State department will approve the invoice and the selected Lender/Lessor for all product listed on the State's procurement document will pay the Contractor on behalf of the State.

Agenda Title: Design Consultant Contract Amendment for Project EN0097

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize the City Manager or designee to sign a $47,000 contract amendment with Peters Engineering Group of Clovis, CA, for additional design services related to CIP Project EN0097 – International AgriCenter Way Extension.

SUMMARY
On December 20, 2022, City Council approved a contract with Peters Engineering Group (P.E.G.) of Clovis, CA in the amount of $324,555 for topographic surveying, geotechnical analysis, design, bidding and construction support services for Project EN0097, a street and utility improvement project to extend International AgriCenter Way (IAC Way) from Laspina Street to Turner Drive. At the time, the project scope contemplated the extension of a gravity sewer main in International AgriCenter Way from Turner Drive as far to the west as the topography of the terrain would allow. As design of the project progressed, it became apparent that such a design would only allow for the sewer main to be extended to a location less than half the distance to Laspina Street. Significant portions of the properties that are expected to develop as a result of the new IAC Way interchange and the extension of IAC Way would be faced with the challenge on not being served by City sewer. In response, on October 17, 2024, the Board of Public Utilities authorized Carollo Engineers, Inc. to perform a sewer needs assessment to determine recommended solutions to serve the area. The findings of the Carollo study recommended the following improvements to provide service:
• construction of a sanitary sewer lift station located on IAC Way in close proximity to its intersection with Laspina Street,
• construction of a sewer force main in IAC Way to pump flows from the lift station upgradient to Turner Drive, and
• construction of a gravity sewer in the westerly portion of the IAC Way extension to provide points of connection to adjacent properties.

Incorporating the improvements into Project EN0097 is the preferred course of action. To that end, staff requested that P.E.G. provide a proposed contract addendum to incorporate the additional sewer improvements into their design. Staff also requested that P.E.G. include a work element to assist the City with the preparation and processing of all documentation associated with the $4 million in federal earmark funding allocated to the project. The proposed contract amendment from P.E.G. is attached for reference and would result in additional fees of $47,000. Project Management has reviewed the proposed contract amendment and concluded that the suggested costs are reasonable and in line with engineering consultant costs encountered on similar City projects.

FISCAL IMPACT & FUNDING SOURCE(S)
Additional costs would be charged to project account string EN0097-050-0200, “Professional Services/Consultant.” The funding sources contributing to this project include:
• Measure R Local
Item #: 11.8
Consent
• Streets DIF Fund
• Water DIF Fund
• Sewer DIF Fund
• Other General Fund CIP
• Private Party Contributions (Benefit District)
• Federal Earmark

LEGAL REVIEW
This item does not require legal review.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION

1. Approve with changes – Staff would work to incorporate any changes or recommendations directed by Council.

2. Deny - Should Council deny the request to amend the existing design contract with P.E.G., the City would not be able to incorporate sewer improvements necessary to serve properties in the vicinity of the International AgriCenter Way interchange into the project.

3. Table - Postponing the amendment to the contract with P.E.G. could delay the project schedule and risk the loss of $4 million in federal funding.

SCOPE OF SERVICES
Contract Amendment No. 1 – Additional Work Required for Sewer Design Change and Federal Project Processing for Earmark Grant
City of Tulare, California

BACKGROUND
Peters Engineering Group’s scope of work for the International Agri-Center Way Extension project includes design for City of Tulare sewer, water, traffic signal, street construction, signage, and striping infrastructure. These improvements were identified in the approved contract. Regarding the sewer design, the initial direction from City staff was to extend the existing sewer southeast in Turner Avenue and then southwest in International Agri-Center Way. Due to the existing gradient of the project area, the sewer was only able to extend about halfway to Laspina Street before running out of grade. This is shown on Exhibit B.

After conferring with City of Tulare Public Utilities Department and with the adjacent property owners, City staff contracted with a consultant to prepare a sewer drainage study for the area surrounding the extension of International Agri-Center Way. The sewer study included the following recommendations as shown on Exhibit C:
 Install a 0.96 Million Gallons per Day (MGD) lift station at the corner of Laspina Street and International Agri-Center Way as shown in Exhibit D.  Provide a 6” sewer force main from the proposed lift station to the last manhole on Turner Avenue north of International Agri-Center Way.
 Provide gravity sewer (10” and 8”) in International Agri-Center Way draining to the lift station as shown on Exhibit C.

Based on these recommendations, the current plans, specifications, and estimate will need to be updated. The design will include an electrical service, construction of the wet well, force main, valves, and emergency bypass pump connection similar to that constructed at the Bardsley Avenue Grade Separation. Pump and panel design and placement will be deferred to the first development project within the service area. An application for service will be processed with SoCal Edison. The legal descriptions for dedication of the ROW for the International Agri-Center Way alignment will be revised to include the lift station property.

A limited survey of Laspina will be required to assist in determining the depth of the sewer lift station wet well.

Additionally, Peters Engineering Group will assist the City of Tulare with preparation and processing of required documents for the full approval of funding from the Community Project Funding/Congressionally Directed Spending (CPFCDS). In May 2024, the City received initial allocation of $4 million in federal funding for the extension of International Agri-Center Way through this earmark. In order to receive the full approval for the funding, the City must follow the steps outlined in Exhibit E, which include submittal and approval of NEPA documents for the project and preparation of a Caltrans Exhibit 15-M Detailed Estimate.

Exhibit “A”
23-005.01 Contract Amendment No. 1.doc 3 of 3 Peters Engineering Group

WORK TASKS
Peters Engineering Group will prepare an updated design for the sewer that will be included in the improvement plans for the project. The legal descriptions for the International AgriCenter Way alignment will be revised to include the area for the lift station. The plans will include details for portions of the proposed lift station. A limited topographic survey of Laspina will be prepared and analyzed to assist in determining the depth of the proposed lift station. Finally, Peters Engineering Group will prepare the NEPA document and an Exhibit 15-M Detailed Estimate for review and approval by Caltrans Local Assistance staff.

The International Agri-Center Way alignment was recently re-staked for review by the adjacent owners. The fee for that work is included in the amounts identified below.

Agenda Title: Purchase Portable Restroom Trailers for CIP Project PK0033

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute a contract for $112,899.35 with Ready 2 Go Restroom Trailer Sales LLC of Pittsburgh, GA, to procure portable restrooms as part of Project PK0033 Zumwalt Park Renovation.

SUMMARY
On September 5, 2023, the City Council awarded contracts for the construction of the Zumwalt Park Renovation Project. This exciting initiative involved a complete redesign of the park, showcasing new amenities that are poised to drive the redevelopment and revitalization of Downtown Tulare. The improvements feature welcoming concrete flatwork, enhanced lighting, and landscaping upgrades, a brand-new playground, an engaging splash pad, an expanded restroom building, secure fencing, informative signage, and enhanced on-site utilities. Additionally, the existing gazebo will be beautifully renovated with new roofing, addressing crucial electrical and ADA accessibility improvements. The crowning addition to the park is the stunning new amphitheater building and stage, promising to be a vibrant hub for community events and gatherings.

The on-site restroom building includes a facility with six stalls, complemented by three additional restrooms at the amphitheater. This arrangement effectively supports daily park activities. However, occupancy regulations require us to offer more restrooms during concerts or events. For the initial trial concerts held in the Fall of 2024, the City rented portable restroom trailers for ADA and VIP use. While that solution was adequate, staff believes that the City’s purchase of its own portable restroom trailers would result in cost savings over time. Additionally, the City could utilize the restroom trailers for other City sponsored events held downtown or elsewhere in the community. Recognizing the benefit these units could provide, both the Chamber of Commerce and Tulare Downtown Association enthusiastically support the purchase.

Utilizing Source Well, the City identified Ready 2 Go Restroom Trailer Sales, which provided competitive quotes for both a standard and an ADA restroom trailer. These portable restroom options include two mobile restroom units. The standard unit provides 3 stations, and the ADA unit provides on ADA station plus 2 standard units. Each restroom suite has an individual entrance and is equipped with a vanity, shatterproof mirror, and pedestal flush toilet. The trailers are fully self-contained with a 105-gallon freshwater tank and a 450-gallon waste tank. Additionally, they offer guests a climate-controlled environment, equipped with air conditioning and a heating strip. The cost of the ADA mobile restroom trailer would be $64,596.31, and the cost of the standard mobile restroom trailer would be $48,303.04. If approved by Council at this meeting, the vendor has indicated that delivery could occur prior to the first scheduled concert at Adventist Health Amphitheater on May 23.

FISCAL IMPACT & FUNDING SOURCE(S)
It is proposed that the purchase cost be changed to Project Account PK0033-050-0999, “Project Contingency”. Funding sources for Project PK0033 include:
• ARPA Federal Grant
• Parks DIF Fund
• Other General Fund CIP
Item #: 11.9
Consent
• ENGIE Loan Proceeds

LEGAL REVIEW
This item does not require legal review.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION

1. Approve with changes – Staff would work to incorporate any changes or recommendations directed by the Council.

2. Deny – If the Council denies the request to purchase the portable restrooms, the City will need to continue renting restrooms for every event.

3. Table – Postponing the procurement of the restrooms may result in the City forfeiting its quoted price.

Given current uncertainties in world markets, it is likely that subsequent quotes would result in higher costs.

Agenda Title: Notice of Completion for Mooney Boulevard Frontage Improvements

RECOMMENDED ACTION

1. Accept as complete the required public works improvements for Mooney Boulevard frontage associated with Phases 2 and 3 of The Greens at Oak Creek residential subdivision;

2. Authorize the City Engineer to sign a Notice of Completion (NOC); and

3. Direct the City Clerk to file the NOC with the Tulare County Recorder’s Office

SUMMARY
D.R. Horton CA3, Inc. entered into a short term deferred improvement agreement recorded on October 10, 2022 (Document No. 2022-0061657) for Mooney Boulevard (Hwy 63) frontage improvements, including installation of curb and gutter, sidewalk, full pave out from lip of gutter to existing edge of pavement, street lights, and backing lot treatment (landscaping, irrigation, block wall) required for Phases 2 and 3 of The Greens at Oak Creek subdivision per Planning Commission Resolution No. 5248. The developer has completed construction of all required public works improvements in accordance with the approved plans and specifications for this development.

FISCAL IMPACT & FUNDING SOURCES
There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.

LEGAL REVIEW
The City’s standard NOC format has been reviewed and approved as to form by the City Attorney.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION

1. Approve with changes

2. Deny – Not approving the NOC would prevent the City from maintaining backing lot treatment, sidewalk, and street lights and would also prevent the City from releasing the bonding currently on file with the City Clerk, which would require the developer to continue to pay for bonding until an NOC is recorded.

3. Table – A delay in the City accepting the improvements would require the Developer to incur additional costs to maintain bonding for the required improvements.

Agenda Title: Initiate Proceedings for Formation of Landscape Maintenance District 2025-01

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt a resolution initiating proceedings for the formation of Landscape Maintenance District 2025-01 for the Mission Creek Subdivision, and setting May 20, 2025, as the date for a public hearing regarding the same.

SUMMARY
The Owners and Developers of the approved Mission Creek tentative subdivision map have petitioned the City to establish an assessment district for their proposed development located at the southwest corner of Bardsley Avenue and Oakmore Street. This assessment district will provide for the following:
• maintenance of landscaping, irrigation systems, pedestrian sidewalks, and block walls associated with common lot areas within the district boundaries,
• supplemental maintenance of local streets within the district boundaries, • maintenance of a neighborhood park and associated appurtenances located within a common lot area within the district boundaries, and
• maintenance of a storm water retention basin.

FISCAL IMPACT & FUNDING SOURCE(S)
There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.

LEGAL REVIEW
This item does not require legal review.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION

1. Approval with changes - Could delay the proposed development of the Mission Creek Subdivision.

2. Deny - Denial would result in there being no mechanism for the assessment of fees to maintain landscaping and park improvements within the common lot areas of the Mission Creek Subdivision.

Additionally, there would be no supplemental maintenance provided for streets within the district boundaries.

3. Table - Tabling the item could delay the processing and approval of the pending Mission Creek Subdivision final map.

Agenda Title: CLOCEA Clarifying Side Letter

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Approve a Side Letter of Agreement with the California League of City Employees Association (CLOCEA) regarding clarifying revisions and amendments to Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) adopted October 15, 2024.

SUMMARY
The City has met and conferred with CLOCEA and have reached an agreement on clarifying revisions and necessary amendments to the MOU adopted October 15, 2024. These changes are outlined on the attached Side Letter of Agreement and summarized below:
• Section XIV Salary: This section shall be repealed and replaced to correct salary adjustments for certain classifications that were reclassified during the recent compensation study. Initially, only Cost of Living Adjustments were applied, which inadvertently resulted in these positions earning less than the employees they supervise or are above in Year 3 of the MOU. The Side Letter proposes the following salary increases in Fiscal Years 2025/26 and 2026/27 to rectify the issue:

Classification FY2025/26 FY2026/27
Signal Ligh Technician II 5.80% 12.00%
Water Treatment Supervisor 7.55% 5.25%
Cross Connection Specialist 7.55% 5.25%
• Section H Standby Pay: This section shall be repealed and replaced to correct the unintentional omission of Wastewater Treatment Plant employees from Standby pay. The revised language will also address a typographical error present in the original document. • Section K Paid Holidays: This paragraph shall be repealed. It was mistakenly included to align with 3/12 and 4/12 shift schedule employees; however, dispatch employee holiday pay is already defined in the existing agreement and does not require further amendment.

FISCAL IMPACT & FUNDING SOURCES
These proposed compensation modifications will be included in the proposed fiscal year 2025-26 budget.

The City Attorney has reviewed this item.

Agenda Title: Sorrento Mooney Boulevard Short-term Deferred Improvement Agreement

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Approve a short-term deferred improvement agreement with SJV Horizontal, LLC allowing the construction of frontage improvements along the west side of Mooney Boulevard (State Route 63) from Cartmill Avenue to Ribolla Avenue to be deferred for a maximum of four (4) years, or prior to the City’s acceptance of the required public improvements for the Sorrento subdivision, whichever occurs first.

SUMMARY
SJV Horizontal, LLC (the Developer) is proposing to develop Phases 1 and 2 of the Sorrento Subdivision, located on the west side of Mooney Boulevard (State Route 63) between Cartmill Avenue and Ribolla Avenue, as a single phase. This subdivision will consist of 109 single-family residential lots. Per the conditions of approval for the Sorrento tentative subdivision map, Mooney Boulevard (State Route 63) frontage improvements, including the undergrounding of overhead utilities, were required for the project’s frontage.

As has previously been shared with Council, staff has been negotiating with the Subdivider to incorporate the improvements of City CIP Project EN0101 – “Tesori-Bella Oaks Improvements” into the scope of their Item #: 11.16
Consent
Mooney Boulevard frontage improvements. The engineer for both the City project and Sorrento subdivision are actively designing the improvements and working on cost estimates. Staff anticipates that this effort will be completed by July, at which time a Development agreement between the City and Subdivider for a joint project could be brought to Council for consideration. If a development agreement is executed, the Sorrento subdivision short-term deferred improvement agreement would be redundant and would no longer be necessary. It could be voided in conjunction with Council’s approval of the development agreement.

FISCAL IMPACT & FUNDING SOURCE(S)
There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.

LEGAL REVIEW
The deferred improvement agreement has been reviewed and approved as to form by the City Attorney.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION

1. Approve with changes

2. Deny – The City is collaborating with SJV Horizontal on a development agreement to complete the Sorrento and Tesori-Bella Oaks Mooney Boulevard frontage improvements as a single project.

Rejecting the deferred improvement agreement could potentially jeopardize the Mooney development agreement between the Developer and the City.

3. Table – A delay in the City’s approval of the deferred improvement agreement will postpone the acceptance of the subdivision's final map, which will consequently delay the construction and occupancy of homes at Sorrento.

Department: Community Development - Housing
Submitted by: Mario Anaya, Community Development Director Agenda Title: 2025-2029 Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (AI), Consolidated Plan, and Citizen Participation Plan Draft Presentation

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Receive a presentation and conduct a public hearing on the Draft Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (AI), Consolidated Plan, and Citizen Participation Plan.

This item was continued from the April 15 meeting; however, no action will be taken on this item at the May 6 meeting. A new public hearing will be noticed and held on May 20, 2025.

SUMMARY
Baker Tilly Advisory Group (“Baker Tilly”), on behalf of the City, conducted citizen participation and consultation activities and drafted the City’s updated 2025-2029 Analysis of Impediments (AI) to Fair Housing Choice, FY2025/26 – FY2029/30 Consolidated Plan, and 2025-2029 Citizen Participation Plan.

All of these federal plans will be submitted to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The AI identifies barriers to equal housing access in the City as well as strategies for addressing these issues. The Consolidated Plan is required due to the City’s receipt of federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding. It identifies community and housing needs and lays out priorities based on these needs to be funded with CDBG funds for the next five years. The Citizen Participation Plan describes how the City will involve residents in the planning, implementation and assessment of how CDBG and HOME funds (which the City receives from the State of California) will be used.

Agenda Title: Resolution of Necessity for a Portion of Property Located at APN 172-040-031

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt a resolution declaring certain 1,821 square feet of real property located on APN 172-040-031, commonly known as 3158 East Bardsley Avenue, in the City of Tulare, County of Tulare, State of California, necessary for public purposes and authorizing the acquisition thereof in connection with the Bardsley Avenue Sidewalk Improvement Project.

SUMMARY
Staff has sent several communications to the owners of the subject property to acquire the abovereferenced portion of the property (1,821 square feet). This portion of the property needs to be acquired in order to construct a sidewalk along the northside of East Bardsley Avenue as part of the Bardsley Avenue Sidewalk Improvement Project. Staff sent the property owners an initial offer to purchase a portion of the property on October 10, 2024. On February 21, 2025, staff sent the property owners a revised offer, in the sum of twenty-five thousand nine hundred and 00/100 dollars ($25,900.00), which consists of eighteen thousand three hundred and 00/100 dollars ($18,300.00) for a partial property fee acquisition in fee simple consisting of approximately 1,821 square feet and seven thousand six hundred and 00/100 dollars ($7,600.00) for curable damages, which total value represents the fair market value of the property to be acquired using the Sales Comparison approach. The City and the property owners have not been able to reach an agreement.

Staff is asking City Council to adopt a Resolution of Necessity. The City Attorney has prepared the attached Resolution of Necessity as authorized and for adopted by City Council. The statutory offer and summary of the basis for just compensation, pursuant to Government Code Sections 7267.1 and 7267.2(a) and prepared by City, have been sent to the owners. Staff has also notified the above owners, in writing via first-class mail, and more than 15 days prior to the Council meeting, that this matter would be scheduled for this meeting’s agenda. In adopting a Resolution of Necessity, the City Council must find that the public interest and necessity require the project, that the project is planned or located in the manner that will be most compatible with the greatest public good and least private injury, and that the property sought to be acquired is necessary for the project. Passage of the Resolution requires a twothirds vote of all members of the City Council.
