7.7 Purchase of Textile Equipment for the Tulare Business Innovation Zone Makerspace.

Recommended Action: Approve the purchase of textile equipment and furnishings from Authorized Vac & Sew in the amount of $136,186.20, to support the conversion of an adjacent room into a dedicated textile and apparel production space within the Tulare Business Innovation Zone. [G. Gonzalez]
Summary: The City of Tulare was awarded a grant from the U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA) to furnish and equip a makerspace located within the newly established Tulare Business Innovation Zone. The purpose of the makerspace is to support entrepreneurship, small business development, and workforce opportunities by providing access to specialized equipment and shared resources.

As part of this effort, the City is converting an adjacent room into a dedicated space to support textile-related businesses, including garment manufacturing, apparel production, fashion design, and similar creative industries. The EDA grant funds must be expended by March 31, 2026, in accordance with grant requirements.

To fully equip the new textile space, staff obtained a comprehensive quote from Authorized Vac & Sew, a vendor that specializes in commercial and industrial textile equipment. The proposed purchase includes most of the essential furnishings and machinery necessary to operate a fully functional textile makerspace, including but not limited to:
• State-of-the-art embroidery machines
Tulare City Council Meeting Page 5 of 17
Agenda Memo - January 20, 2026
• Commercial and industrial sewing machines
• Sewing desks, cabinets, and workstations
• Related accessories and support equipment
Authorized Vac & Sew was selected as a sole source vendor because, in addition to providing the required equipment, they offer lifetime training for City staff on the use and operation of the machines. This added value ensures staff can effectively support users of the makerspace, reduces long-term training costs, and promotes safe and efficient use of the equipment.

City staff request City Council approval pursuant to the City’s purchasing policy.

Fiscal Impact & Funding Source(s): The purchase is fully funded by the EDA grant. There is no fiscal impact to the City’s General Fund.

Environmental Review: This action does not constitute a “project” pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

Potential Conflict of Interest: Staff is not aware of any conflicts of interest.

Legal Review: This item does not require legal review.

Public Notice: This item does not require a public hearing and was noticed as part of the agenda.

Alternative Action: 1) Approve with changes; 2) Deny; or 3) Table. If this agenda item is not approved, the City will be unable to purchase the necessary equipment to complete the textile makerspace. This could prevent timely expenditure of the EDA grant funds, which must be used by March 31, 2026

7.8 City of Tulare 2026 Quality Assurance Program.

Recommended Action: Adopt a resolution adopting the 2026 update to the City of Tulare Quality Assurance Program for materials used on construction projects; and delegate authority to the City Engineer to approve future revisions and updates to the City’s Quality Assurance Program on behalf of the City. [M. Miller]
Summary: In accordance with 23 CFR 637, Local Public Agencies are required to have a Quality Assurance Program (QAP) that ensures the materials and workmanship incorporated into each construction project conform to the requirements of the contract plans and specifications.

The 2026 update to the City’s QAP will replace the current 2018 QAP. As of July 2025, Caltrans has updated its sample QAP to reflect current practices and requirements. The updated template is available for local public agencies to adopt and customize for their specific projects.

The 2026 QAP was developed by staff utilizing the new Caltrans template.

Tulare City Council Meeting Page 6 of 17
Agenda Memo - January 20, 2026
• Independent Assurance Program (IAP) – This section covers material testing laboratory accreditations, certification of personnel performing material testing, and equipment calibration requirements and frequencies.

The QAP will ensure that projects comply with applicable laws, regulations, standards, and best practices, while promoting accountability, risk management, fiscal responsibility, and public safety. The QAP aligns with industry standards, State and Federal requirements, and generally accepted public agency practices. Adoption of the QAP will provide clear guidance to staff, consultants, and contractors, and will support defensible decision-making.

Upon adoption, the QAP will be implemented across all applicable construction projects. The QAP will be incorporated into standard operating procedures, consultant contracts, and construction specifications, as appropriate. The QAP is required to be updated every five years, at a minimum.

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

Environmental Review: This action does not constitute a “project” pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

Potential Conflict of Interest: Staff is not aware of any conflicts of interest.

Legal Review: This item does not require legal review.

Public Notice: This item does not require a public hearing and was noticed as part of the agenda.

Alternative Action: 1) Approve with changes – Staff will incorporate any minor changes directed by Council; 2) Deny – Denial would jeopardize the City’s ability to undertake federally funded construction projects; or 3) Table – Delay could jeopardize the City’s ability to meet required programming dates necessary to secure federal funding.

Agenda Memo - January 20, 2026

7.9 Designate Stop Control at Various Intersections.

Recommended Action: Adopt a resolution designating stop control at various uncontrolled intersections located between Paige Avenue, Bardsley Avenue, Highway 99, and Laspina Street. [M. Miller]
Summary: Based upon the findings of a traffic study prepared by Peters Engineering Group of Clovis, CA, it is recommended that the following intersections be designated as stop intersections in accordance with the attached Resolution:
• Aspen Avenue and Hemlock Street,
• Cerritos Avenue and Balboa Street,
• Frances Avenue and Cardoza Street,
• Laurel Avenue and Hemlock Street,
• Laurel Avenue and Tamarack Street,
• Levin Avenue and Spruce Street,
• Marimar Avenue and Cardoza Street,
• Walnut Avenue and Cardoza Street,
• Walnut Avenue and Marion Street, and
• Walnut Avenue and Spruce Street.

Background
The Engineering Division received a citizen request to install an all-way stop at the intersection of Walnut Avenue and Spruce Street. This intersection is a 4-legged intersection that currently does not have any stop control and relies on general right-of-way rules for uncontrolled intersections:
• At four-legged intersections, the first vehicle to reach the intersection has the right of way, except that vehicles making a turning movement shall yield to vehicles making a thru movement.
• When vehicles arrive simultaneously at a four-legged intersection, vehicle on the right shall have the right of way.

The citizen request was forwarded to the City’s Transportation Management Team, which consists of representative from various City Departments involved in transportation and public safety. In reviewing the surrounding area, it was found that the adjacent intersections of Aspen Avenue and Hemlock Street, Cerritos Avenue and Balboa Street, Frances Avenue and Cardoza Street, Laurel Avenue and Hemlock Street, Laurel Avenue and Tamarack Street, Levin Avenue and Spruce Street, Marimar Avenue and Cardoza Street, Walnut Avenue and Cardoza Street, and Walnut Avenue and Marion Street also lack stop control. The uniform and consistent application of traffic control devices is critical to meet driver expectations and avoid confusion.

For that reason, the Transportation Management Team recommended that these additional intersections also be considered for the installation of stop control.

Under their existing on-call services contract with the City, Peters Engineering Group of Clovis, CA was tasked with preparing a study to evaluate the subject intersections in accordance with the provisions and guidance of the California Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CMUTCD).

Study Findings
None of the intersections studied met the criteria for all-way stop designation. However, it was noted that the installation of STOP signs on the minor streets at all 11 study intersections would be beneficial in addressing potential sight distance concerns. While installing a STOP sign on Tulare City Council Meeting Page 8 of 17
Agenda Memo - January 20, 2026
the minor street does not improve sight distance for vehicles stopped at the STOP sign, STOP signs can potentially improve visibility in the sense that vehicles on the major street (not required to stop) will likely be able to see a vehicle stopping on the side street and will be aware of its presence, whereas when both vehicles are approaching an unsignalized intersection without the intent to stop, neither may be able to see the other approaching. The installation of STOP signs also would provide clarification to drivers regarding the assignment of right of way at the intersections. Therefore, the study recommends that the City consider installing STOP signs on the minor street approaches of the subject intersections as follows:

1. The intersection of Aspen Avenue and Hemlock Street to be designated as a one-way stop controlled intersection with northbound traffic on Hemlock Street being required to stop at Aspen Avenue.

2. The intersection of Cerritos Avenue and Balboa Clara Street to be designated as a oneway stop controlled intersection with northbound traffic on Balboa Street being required to stop at Cerritos Avenue.

3. The intersection of Frances Avenue and Cardoza Street to be designated as a one-way stop controlled intersection with southbound traffic on Cardoza Street being required to stop at Frances Avenue.

4. The intersection of Laurel Avenue and Hemlock Street to be designated as a one-way stop controlled intersection with eastbound traffic on Laurel Avenue being required to stop at Hemlock Street.

5. The intersection of Laurel Avenue and Tamarack Street to be designated as a one-way stop controlled intersection with westbound traffic on Laurel Avenue being required to stop at Tamarack Street.

6. The intersection of Levin Avenue and Spruce Street to be designated as a one-way stop controlled intersection with southbound traffic on Spruce Street being required to stop at Levin Street.

7. The intersection of Marimar Avenue and Cardoza Street to be designated as a one-way stop controlled intersection with westbound traffic on Marimar Avenue being required to stop at Cardoza Street.

8. The intersection of Salome Avenue and Cardoza Street to be designated as a two-way stop controlled intersection with eastbound and westbound traffic on Salome Avenue being required to stop at Cardoza Street

9. The intersection of Walnut Avenue and Cardoza Street to be designated as a two-way stop controlled intersection with northbound and southbound traffic on Cardoza Street being required to stop at Walnut Avenue.

10. The intersection of Walnut Avenue and Marion Street to be designated as a two-way stop controlled intersection with northbound and southbound traffic on Marion Street being required to stop at Walnut Avenue.

11. The intersection of Walnut Avenue and Spruce Street to be designated as a two-way stop controlled intersection with eastbound and westbound traffic on Walnut Avenue being required to stop at Spruce Street.

A copy of the main body of the study by Peters Engineering Group is attached.

Fiscal Impact & Funding Source(s): Funding is budgeted to cover the estimated $5,000 expense through the Street Department’s Maintenance Materials account.

7.10 Application For Funding – HOME Program Income and Eligible HOME Activities.

Costales]
Summary: The City of Tulare (“City”) regularly submits applications for HOME and CalHome ‘grant’ funds to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (“HCD”), typically to implement activities that provide loan or grant financing to help low-income person(s) affordably purchase a home, complete necessary improvements to their properties, and rent a home. Currently, the City is responsible to HCD for the expenditure of 2019 HOME grant funds in the amount of $451,493 for first-time homebuyer (FTHB) and owner-occupied rehabilitation (OOR) assistance and HOME program income in the amount of $317,644 for tenant based rental assistance, OOR, and FTHB activities. The total amount of program income at the start of Quarter 2 of Fiscal Year 2025-2026 was $453,437. And, when applicable, the City will utilize $135,792.50 of this available balance to satisfy a one-time participation threshold payment to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Department as part of becoming a Participating Jurisdiction under the HOME Program.

For reference, program income is generated on a regular basis by the partial or full repayment of HOME FTHB and OOR loans to the City from HOME participants, borrowers, of said FTHB and OOR activities. Federal regulations at 24 C.F.R. § 92.503 require all Program Income (PI) and Recaptured Funds (RF) to be used in accordance with HOME regulations only for HOMEeligible activities, and PI funds on hand must be maintained in an interest-bearing account.

Interest earned on those funds is considered PI. To avoid de-committing appropriated grant funds from a specific Project, HOME PI may be accumulated throughout the current reporting period (state fiscal year) but must be committed to a Project in the next state fiscal year.

Approval from HCD is required prior to the use of all HOME PI and RF. The PI received during the current reporting period, as well as PI anticipated to be received in the next state fiscal year, must be reported to HCD in accordance with HUD reporting requirements. Additionally, the City must identify how the funds will be used (name the project or program activity, and the intended beneficiary type) to ensure timely use of PI funds.

Similar to the process of responding to formal Notice of Funding Availability processes administered by HCD for new HOME grant funds, the City must prepare an application for HCD outlining the use of available and anticipated HOME program income. If approved as presented, the Resolution will permit the obligation and expenditure of HOME program income to the Tulare City Council Meeting Page 10 of 17

7.12 Mefford Field Airport Hangar Lease Agreement.

Recommended Action: Approve the proposed Airport Hangar Lease Agreement (“Agreement”) between the City of Tulare and the Tulare Mosquito Abatement District; and authorize the City Manager to execute the Agreement and all necessary documents. [M. Correa] Summary: The City of Tulare entered into an agreement with the Tulare Mosquito Abatement District (“District”) in 2006, which was subsequently extended in 2021, for the lease of a hangar at the Mefford Field Airport for purposes of airplane storage and related uses. The District approached the City to request leasing an additional hangar at Mefford Field Airport for the parking, staging, and storage of vehicles, equipment, and supplies used in mosquito abatement, including the storage of pesticides and other chemicals, all in compliance with applicable local, state, and federal laws and regulations. The proposed Agreement is for a ten (10) year term expiring on July 31, 2036; however, the Tulare Mosquito Abatement District may extend the Agreement for an additional term of ten (10) years, provided the District is compliant with all contract terms at the time of extension.

Fiscal Impact & Funding Source(s): There is no fiscal impact associated with this action. The District will pay the City the sum of one thousand one hundred dollars ($1,100.00) per month for use of an airport hangar at the Mefford Field Airport, with adjustments to the rent amount occurring annually should the term of the Agreement be extended beyond July 31, 2026.

7.13 Emergency Shelter Operator Terms Sheet & Preliminary Operating Budget.

Recommended Action: Review an emergency shelter service agreement with Lighthouse Rescue Mission regarding the City’s emergency shelter project for the term of April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2027. [M. Correa; M. Anaya]
Summary: On September 17, 2024, City Council awarded a contract to construct the emergency shelter campus (shelter) which is anticipated to be completed in early 2026.

General Services and Community Development staff held work sessions and collaborated with the proposed primary service provider for the shelter, the Lighthouse Rescue Mission, to prepare the emergency shelter service agreement draft and a preliminary budget estimate for this public facility. The emergency shelter service agreement largely identifies and explains the scope of services and City’s responsibilities to operate the shelter, namely the Lighthouse Rescue Mission in partnership with City of Tulare. It is likely that additional third-party public agencies and/or community-based organizations will form agreements with the City of Tulare and provide different services for guests of the emergency shelter than those duties of the proposed primary service provider/operator, the Lighthouse Rescue Mission.

Tulare City Council Meeting Page 12 of 17
Agenda Memo - January 20, 2026
The preliminary budget incorporates cost estimates from comparable emergency shelter projects as well as unique estimates from local public facilities and programs. The preliminary budget accounts for a twelve-month period beginning in the upcoming fiscal year and subsequent fiscal year, though the sequence and anticipating expenses and revenue are tentative and subject to change. City staff have and will continue to work with a primary service provider/operator for the shelter to refine an operating budget and minimize line-item expenses where feasible. This preliminary budget estimate should help inform cost and revenue projections for the start of the shelter in the coming fiscal year.

Upon approval of the emergency shelter service agreement and preliminary budget, the General Services Department will lead all planning efforts and work with an approved primary service provider/operator to refine the shelter’s operating budget. City Council will receive and consider the agreement and operating budget providing staff input on any required revisions.

Fiscal Impact & Funding Source(s): The General Services Department, in conjunction with City Management and the shelter’s operator, may refine the preliminary budget as necessary to adjust the fiscal impact.

As presented, approval of the emergency shelter service agreement and preliminary budget will authorize allocation of up to $2,000,000 from the City’s General Fund for shelter expenses over a twelve-month period. Obligation and expenses for the first year of shelter operations will begin in the next fiscal year (2026) and continue into Fiscal Year 2027.

Environmental Review: This action does not constitute a “project” pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

Potential Conflict of Interest: Staff is not aware of any conflicts of interest.

Legal Review: The City Attorney’s Office reviewed the emergency shelter service agreement.

The Emergency Shelter service agreement presented to the City Council is consistent with the recommendations received from the City Attorney.

Public Notice: This item does not require a public hearing and was noticed as part of the agenda.

Alternative Action: 1) Approve with changes; 2) Deny; or 3) Table. If the emergency shelter operator terms sheet is not approved, then City staff and the proposed primary service provider/operator Lighthouse Rescue Mission (Tulare Cares LLC) may pause planning efforts and delay the execution of a final and comprehensive shelter operator agreement and revised budget.

8.1 Historic-Cultural Landmark Nominations.

Recommended Action: Pass-to-print an ordinance approving and designating the Tulare Veterans Memorial Building, Hoyt House, T29A Convair Airplane, B-17 Bomber, and F-4 Phantom Jet as City of Tulare Historic-Cultural Landmarks, and adding them to the Local Register of Historic-Cultural Landmarks pursuant to Tulare Municipal Code Chapter 10.38, as described herein. [M. Anaya]
Summary: This is a request by the property owners and caretakers of the buildings and objects listed below, to designate them as City of Tulare Historic-Cultural Landmarks and add them to the Local Register of Historic-Cultural Landmarks.
• Tulare Veterans Memorial Building. 1771 East Tulare Avenue (177-200-005). The subject property is zoned PL (Public Lands), and the General Plan Designation is Public/Quasi Public. Constructed in 1956, Tulare Veterans Memorial Building Hall was constructed to serve as a living building memorial to Veterans of WWII. Known for its impressive size and its original pink color, it has hosted thousands of people and events over the past eight decades, including famous individuals and landmark Tulare events. • Hoyt House. 237 North L Street (176-112-006). The subject property is zoned C-3 (Retail Commercial), and the General Plan Designation is Central Business District. The Hoyt House is a two-story late Victorian-Colonial Revival home that was constructed in 1912- 1913 and was the home to Hazel Hoyt who was a long-life public servant in the City of Tulare. Hoyt was the first female city clerk in the city. The Hoyt House is one of few last Tulare City Council Meeting Page 14 of 17
Agenda Memo - January 20, 2026
remaining two-story Victorian-Colonial Revival residences in Tulare. The Hoyt House has been operating as a restaurant since 1995.
• T29A Convair Airplane. 240 North L Street (176-121-025). The subject property is zoned C-3 (Retail Commercial), and the General Plan Designation is Central Business District.

The T29A Convair is regarded as a significant piece of aviation history, used as a “Flying Classroom” for USAF and USN servicemembers training throughout the Cold War. The “airplane on L Street” is one of two known surviving T29A Convairs and is the first of its kind eatery in the city of Tulare. It was first built in 1951 and was moved to 240 North L Street in 2003 to operate as a restaurant.
• B-17 Bomber. Currently at Mefford Field Airport (191-100-018). The subject property is zoned M-2 (Heavy Industrial), and the General Plan Designation is Service Commercial.

The B-17G Bomber at Mefford Field honors Veterans from WWII. It was first built in 1945 in Burbank, California. The bomber holds a unique dual military and local historical significance. She is the last surviving B-17 used in the “Operation Crossroads” atomic testing, and a later date, she was flown to Tulare, piloted by Tulare’s military hero, General Maurice Preston. With its location alongside Highway 99 at the southern end of town, the Flying Fortress has welcomed millions of passersby to the city of Tulare since 1958. • F-4 Phantom Jet. Currently at Mefford Field Airport (191-100-018). The subject property is zoned M-2 (Heavy Industrial), and the General Plan Designation is Service Commercial.

The F-4 Phantom jet at Mefford Field honors Veterans from the Vietnam war. The F-4 Phantom Jet was first commissioned in 1966. It never saw combat but was used in the United States Air Force for 20 years and used in many military bases around the world which included the United Kingdom, Spain, and Libya. With its location alongside Highway 99 at the southern end of town, the Phantom has welcomed millions of passersby to the city of Tulare since 1994.

Section 10.38 of the updated City of Tulare Zoning Ordinance includes standards to preserve, promote, and enhance the Historic-Cultural Landmarks and designated historic districts of the city for the educational, cultural, economic, and general welfare of the public. The purpose of the zone amendments would be to designate the aforementioned buildings and objects as local Historic-Cultural Landmarks and apply the Historic-Cultural Landmark Overlay Zone to the properties or objects.

Once a building, structure, object, site, or district is designated as a Historic-Cultural Landmark it will enable the Historic-Cultural Landmarks Advisory Committee, the Planning Commission, and the City Council, to work with property owners and the community to protect and review changes to these local landmarks and districts which have a distinctive character or a special historic, architectural, aesthetic or cultural value to this City, State, and nation. This would assist in implementing the Tulare General Plan’s goals and vision with respect to the following:
• To continue to safeguard the heritage of this city by preserving and regulating its historic buildings, structures, objects, sites, and districts which reflect elements of the City’s historic, cultural, social, economic, political and architectural history • To continue to preserve and enhance the environmental quality and safety of these landmarks and districts.
• To continue to establish, stabilize and improve property values and to foster economic development.

Tulare City Council Meeting Page 15 of 17
Agenda Memo - January 20, 2026
At its December 8, 2025, meeting, the City of Tulare Planning Commission voted 3-0 to recommend designation of these buildings and objects as Historic-Cultural Landmarks due to architectural significance, as well as the important role the landmarks have played in the history and cultural heritage of the United States of America, as well as Tulare’s own history.

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

Environmental Review: This action does not constitute a “project” pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

On January 18, 1994, the Council of the City of Tulare adopted Ordinance No. 0722 establishing a Police Department Citizen Complaint Review Board. The ordinance requires annual reporting to the Council of the City of Tulare.

The purpose of the Citizen Complaint Review Board is to promote the best interest of the City of Tulare and its citizens. The Board is charged with the responsibility to review the Police Department’s investigation of citizen complaints and provide an independent review to the Police Chief. The Board is not intended to review disciplinary action, if any, proposed and/or imposed upon police personnel as a result of the investigation of the citizen’s complaints. The creation of this Board is intended to ensure continued and ongoing public confidence in the Police Department personnel and Police Department operations. The current Citizen Complaint Review Board Members are as follows:

Danny Giotto Reappointed January 7, 2025
Jennifer Burcham Reappointed January 7, 2025
Brady Brown Appointed January 7, 2025

The scope of authority of the Board is to receive citizen complaints alleged police officer misconduct in the form of misuse of force, false arrest, criminal conduct, discrimination, use of racial or ethnic slurs, abuse of authority, extreme discourtesy and/or serious misconduct. The Board shall also review the Police Department investigation of all allegations of police officer misconduct. The entire Board reviews all citizen complaints and determines, by majority approval, which complaints are within the authority of the Board to review. Twenty complaint forms were filed. Eighteen complaints we completed with two pending complaints. The complaints were classified as follows:

Misuse of force 4

Department: Economic Development & Redevelopment
Submitted by: Gladys Gonzalez, Senior Management Analyst Agenda Title: Purchase of Textile Equipment for the Tulare Business Innovation Zone Makerspace

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Approve the purchase of textile equipment and furnishings from Authorized Vac & Sew in the amount of $136,186.20, to support the conversion of an adjacent room into a dedicated textile and apparel production space within the Tulare Business Innovation Zone.

SUMMARY
The City of Tulare was awarded a grant from the U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA) to furnish and equip a makerspace located within the newly established Tulare Business Innovation Zone.

The purpose of the makerspace is to support entrepreneurship, small business development, and workforce opportunities by providing access to specialized equipment and shared resources.

As part of this effort, the City is converting an adjacent room into a dedicated space to support textilerelated businesses, including garment manufacturing, apparel production, fashion design, and similar creative industries. The EDA grant funds must be expended by March 31, 2026, in accordance with grant requirements.

To fully equip the new textile space, staff obtained a comprehensive quote from Authorized Vac & Sew, a vendor that specializes in commercial and industrial textile equipment. The proposed purchase includes most of the essential furnishings and machinery necessary to operate a fully functional textile makerspace, including but not limited to:
• State-of-the-art embroidery machines
• Commercial and industrial sewing machines
• Sewing desks, cabinets, and workstations
• Related accessories and support equipment
Authorized Vac & Sew was selected as a sole source vendor because, in addition to providing the required equipment, they offer lifetime training for City staff on the use and operation of the machines.

This added value ensures staff can effectively support users of the makerspace, reduces long-term training costs, and promotes safe and efficient use of the equipment.

City staff request City Council approval pursuant to the City’s purchasing policy.

FISCAL IMPACT & FUNDING SOURCES
The purchase is fully funded by the EDA grant. There is no fiscal impact to the City’s General Fund.

Submitted by: Michael Miller, City Engineer
Agenda Title: Designate Stop Control at Various Intersections

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt a resolution designating stop control at various uncontrolled intersections located between Paige Avenue, Bardsley Avenue, Highway 99, and Laspina Street.

SUMMARY
Based upon the findings of a traffic study prepared by Peters Engineering Group of Clovis, CA, it is recommended that the following intersections be designated as stop intersections in accordance with the attached Resolution:
• Aspen Avenue and Hemlock Street,
• Cerritos Avenue and Balboa Street,
• Frances Avenue and Cardoza Street,
• Laurel Avenue and Hemlock Street,
• Laurel Avenue and Tamarack Street,
• Levin Avenue and Spruce Street,
• Marimar Avenue and Cardoza Street,
• Walnut Avenue and Cardoza Street,
• Walnut Avenue and Marion Street, and
• Walnut Avenue and Spruce Street.

Item #: 7.9

Study Findings
None of the intersections studied met the criteria for all-way stop designation. However, it was noted that the installation of STOP signs on the minor streets at all 11 study intersections would be beneficial in addressing potential sight distance concerns. While installing a STOP sign on the minor street does not improve sight distance for vehicles stopped at the STOP sign, STOP signs can potentially improve visibility in the sense that vehicles on the major street (not required to stop) will likely be able to see a vehicle stopping on the side street and will be aware of its presence, whereas when both vehicles are approaching an unsignalized intersection without the intent to stop, neither may be able to see the other approaching. The installation of STOP signs also would provide clarification to drivers regarding the assignment of right of way at the intersections. Therefore, the study recommends that the City consider installing STOP signs on the minor street approaches of the subject intersections as follows:

1. The intersection of Aspen Avenue and Hemlock Street to be designated as a one-way stop controlled intersection with northbound traffic on Hemlock Street being required to stop at Aspen Avenue.

2. The intersection of Cerritos Avenue and Balboa Clara Street to be designated as a one-way stop controlled intersection with northbound traffic on Balboa Street being required to stop at Cerritos Avenue.

3. The intersection of Frances Avenue and Cardoza Street to be designated as a one-way stop controlled intersection with southbound traffic on Cardoza Street being required to stop at Frances Avenue.

4. The intersection of Laurel Avenue and Hemlock Street to be designated as a one-way stop controlled intersection with eastbound traffic on Laurel Avenue being required to stop at Hemlock Street.

5. The intersection of Laurel Avenue and Tamarack Street to be designated as a one-way stop controlled intersection with westbound traffic on Laurel Avenue being required to stop at Tamarack Street.

6. The intersection of Levin Avenue and Spruce Street to be designated as a one-way stop controlled intersection with southbound traffic on Spruce Street being required to stop at Levin Street.

7. The intersection of Marimar Avenue and Cardoza Street to be designated as a one-way stop controlled intersection with westbound traffic on Marimar Avenue being required to stop at Cardoza Street.

A copy of the main body of the study by Peters Engineering Group is attached.

FISCAL IMPACT & FUNDING SOURCES
Funding is budgeted to cover the estimated $5,000 expense through the Street Department’s Maintenance Materials account.

Stop Sign Recommendations at Various Intersections, Tulare, California Page 2 Description of Right-of-Way at Intersections
The State of California Department of Transportation California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices for Streets and Highways, 2014 Edition, Revision 9 (CMUTCD), effective April 1, 2025, presents the following discussion relative to right-of-way at intersections:

Section 2B.04 Right-of-Way at Intersections
Support:
01 State or local laws written in accordance with the “Uniform Vehicle Code” (see Section 1A.11) establish the right-of-way rule at intersections having no regulatory traffic control signs such that the driver of a vehicle approaching an intersection must yield the right-of-way to any vehicle or pedestrian already in the intersection. When two vehicles approach an intersection from different streets or highways at approximately the same time, the right-of-way rule requires the driver of the vehicle on the left to yield the right-of-way to the vehicle on the right. The right-of-way can be modified at through streets or highways by placing YIELD (R1-2) signs (see Sections 2B.08 and 2B.09) or STOP (R1-1) signs (see Sections 2B.05 through 2B.07) on one or more approaches.

Guidance:
02 Engineering judgment should be used to establish intersection control. The following factors should be considered:

A. Vehicular, bicycle, and pedestrian traffic volumes on all approaches; B. Number and angle of approaches;
C. Approach speeds;
D. Sight distance available on each approach; and
E. Reported crash experience.
03 YIELD or STOP signs should be used at an intersection if one or more of the following conditions exist:

A. An intersection of a less important road with a main road where application of the normal rightof-way rule would not be expected to provide reasonable compliance with the law; B. A street entering a designated through highway or street; and/or C. An unsignalized intersection in a signalized area.
04 In addition, the use of YIELD or STOP signs should be considered at the intersection of two minor streets or local roads where the intersection has more than three approaches and where one or more of the following conditions exist:

A. The combined vehicular, bicycle, and pedestrian volume entering the intersection from all approaches averages more than 2,000 units per day;
B. The ability to see conflicting traffic on an approach is not sufficient to allow a road user to stop or yield in compliance with the normal right-of-way rule if such stopping or yielding is necessary; and/or
C. Crash records indicate that five or more crashes that involve the failure to yield the right-of-way at the intersection under the normal right-of-way rule have been reported within a 3-year period, or that three or more such crashes have been reported within a 2-year period. 05 YIELD or STOP signs should not be used for speed control.

Traffic Engineering Study October 20, 2025
Stop Sign Recommendations at Various Intersections, Tulare, California Page 3 Support:
06 Section 2B.07 contains provisions regarding the application of multi-way STOP control at an intersection.

Guidance:
07 Once the decision has been made to control an intersection, the decision regarding the appropriate roadway to control should be based on engineering judgment. In most cases, the roadway carrying the lowest volume of traffic should be controlled.
08 A YIELD or STOP sign should not be installed on the higher volume roadway unless justified by an engineering study.

Support:
09 The following are considerations that might influence the decision regarding the appropriate roadway upon which to install a YIELD or STOP sign where two roadways with relatively equal volumes and/or characteristics intersect:

A. Controlling the direction that conflicts the most with established pedestrian crossing activity or school walking routes;
B. Controlling the direction that has obscured vision, dips, or bumps that already require drivers to use lower operating speeds; and
C. Controlling the direction that has the best sight distance from a controlled position to observe conflicting traffic.

Description of STOP Sign Warrants
The CMUTCD presents the following discussion relative to the use of STOP signs:

Section 2B.06 STOP Sign Applications
Guidance:
01 At intersections where a full stop is not necessary at all times, consideration should first be given to using less restrictive measures such as YIELD signs (see Sections 2B.08 and 2B.09). 02 The use of STOP signs on the minor-street approaches should be considered if engineering judgment indicates that a stop is always required because of one or more of the following conditions:

A. The vehicular traffic volumes on the through street or highway exceed 6,000 vehicles per day; B. A restricted view exists that requires road users to stop in order to adequately observe conflicting traffic on the through street or highway; and/or C. Crash records indicate that three or more crashes that are susceptible to correction by the installation of a STOP sign have been reported within a 12-month period, or that five or more such crashes have been reported within a 2-year period. Such crashes include right-angle collisions involving road users on the minor-street approach failing to yield the right-of-way to traffic on the through street or highway.

Support:
03 The use of STOP signs at grade crossings is described in Sections 8B.04 and 8B.05.

Traffic Engineering Study October 20, 2025
Stop Sign Recommendations at Various Intersections, Tulare, California Page 4 Section 2B.07 Multi-Way Stop Applications
Support:
01 Multi-way stop control can be useful as a safety measure at intersections if certain traffic conditions exist. Safety concerns associated with multi-way stops include pedestrians, bicyclists, and all road users expecting other road users to stop. Multi-way stop control is used where the volume of traffic on the intersecting roads is approximately equal.
02 The restrictions on the use of STOP signs described in Section 2B.04 also apply to multi-way stop applications.

Guidance:
03 The decision to install multi-way stop control should be based on an engineering study. 04 The following criteria should be considered in the engineering study for a multi-way STOP sign installation:

A. Where traffic control signals are justified, the multi-way stop is an interim measure that can be installed quickly to control traffic while arrangements are being made for the installation of the traffic control signal.

B. Five or more reported crashes in a 12-month period that are susceptible to correction by a multi-way stop installation. Such crashes include right-turn and left-turn collisions as well as right-angle collisions.

C. Minimum volumes:
1 The vehicular volume entering the intersection from the major street approaches (total of both approaches) averages at least 300 vehicles per hour for any 8 hours of an average day; and

2. The combined vehicular, pedestrian, and bicycle volume entering the intersection from the minor street approaches (total of both approaches) averages at least 200 units per hour for the same 8 hours, with an average delay to minor-street vehicular traffic of at least 30 seconds per vehicle during the highest hour; but

3. If the 85th-percentile approach speed of the major-street traffic exceeds 40 mph, the minimum vehicular volume warrants are 70 percent of the values provided in Items 1 and 2.

D. Where no single criterion is satisfied, but where Criteria B, C.1, and C.2 are all satisfied to 80 percent of the minimum values. Criterion C.3 is excluded from this condition.

Option:
05 Other criteria that may be considered in an engineering study include:

A. The need to control left-turn conflicts;
B. The need to control vehicle/pedestrian conflicts near locations that generate high pedestrian volumes;
C. Locations where a road user, after stopping, cannot see conflicting traffic and is not able to negotiate the intersection unless conflicting cross traffic is also required to stop; and D. An intersection of two residential neighborhood collector (through) streets of similar design and operating characteristics where multi-way stop control would improve traffic operational characteristics of the intersection.

The crash history reveals that there were no periods of time during which the number of crashes met the minimum criteria outlined in the CMUTCD for consideration of STOP sign installation. Therefore, there does not appear to be an existing condition that causes an excessive number of accidents at the study intersections warranting all-way stop control. The motorcycle fatality at the intersection of Walnut Avenue and Cardoza Street supports the installation of at least two-way stop control at the intersection.

All-Way Stop Control Warrant Study and Discussion
The existing traffic volumes at the three Walnut Avenue study intersections do not satisfy criteria for installation of all-way stop control. Crash records also do not satisfy criteria for installation of all-way stop control. The all-way stop control warrant analysis sheets are attached.

Discussion of One-Way and Two-Way Stop Control
Installing a STOP sign on the minor street does not improve sight distance for vehicles stopped at the STOP sign. STOP signs can potentially improve visibility in the sense that vehicles on the major street (not required to stop) will likely be able to see a vehicle stopping on the side street and will be aware of its presence, whereas when both vehicles are approaching an uncontrolled intersection without the intent to stop, neither may be able to see the other approaching. If STOP signs are desired by the City to further improve the operations of the intersections by improving sight distance and assigning right of way, the

7.9 Consent 15 of 17
Traffic Engineering Study October 20, 2025
Stop Sign Recommendations at Various Intersections, Tulare, California Page 10 STOP signs should be installed on the lower volume road as discussed in CMUTCD Section 2B.04, Paragraphs 07 and 08.

It is recommended that STOP signs be installed as follows:

1. Salome Avenue and Cardoza Street: install STOP signs on the eastbound and westbound approaches on Salome Avenue.

2. Walnut Avenue and Spruce Street: install STOP signs on the eastbound and westbound approaches on Walnut Avenue.

3. Walnut Avenue and Marion Street: install STOP signs on the northbound and southbound approaches on Marion Street.

4. Walnut Avenue at Cardoza Street: install STOP signs on the northbound and southbound approaches on Cardoza Street.

5. Marimar Avenue and Cardoza Street: install a STOP sign on the westbound approach on Marimar Avenue.

6. Frances Avenue and Cardoza Street: install a STOP sign on the southbound approach on Cardoza Street.

7. Levin Avenue and Spruce Street: install a STOP sign on the southbound approach on Spruce Street.

8. Cerritos Avenue and Balboa Street: install a STOP sign on the northbound approach on Balboa Street.

9. Aspen Avenue and Hemlock Street: install a STOP sign on the northbound approach on Hemlock Street.

10. Laurel Avenue and Tamarack Street: install a STOP sign on the westbound approach on Laurel Avenue.

11. Laurel Avenue and Hemlock Street: install a STOP sign on the eastbound approach on Laurel Avenue.

Conclusion and Recommendation
The existing traffic volumes at the three study intersections on Walnut Avenue do not satisfy the criteria for all-way stop control.

Installation of STOP signs at all 11 study intersections as described above will assign right of way and could potentially improve visibility in the sense that vehicles on the major street (not required to stop) may be able to see a vehicle stopping on the side street and will be aware of its presence, whereas when both vehicles are approaching an uncontrolled intersection without the intent to stop, neither may be able to see the other approaching.

Staff Report
Meeting: City Council
Date: January 20, 2026
Department: Community Development - Housing
Submitted by: Alexis Costales, Housing and Grants Manager Agenda Title: Application For Funding – HOME Program Income and Eligible HOME Activities

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize submittal of an application to the California Department of Housing and Community Development for funding under the HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME); and if selected, the execution of a standard agreement, any amendments thereto, and of any related documents necessary to participate in the HOME Program.

SUMMARY
The City of Tulare (“City”) regularly submits applications for HOME and CalHome ‘grant’ funds to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (“HCD”), typically to implement activities that provide loan or grant financing to help low-income person(s) affordably purchase a home, complete necessary improvements to their properties, and rent a home. Currently, the City is responsible to HCD for the expenditure of 2019 HOME grant funds in the amount of $451,493 for first-time homebuyer (FTHB) and owner-occupied rehabilitation (OOR) assistance and HOME program income in the amount of $317,644 for tenant based rental assistance, OOR, and FTHB activities. The total amount of program income at the start of Quarter 2 of Fiscal Year 2025-2026 was $453,437. And, when applicable, the City will utilize $135,792.50 of this available balance to satisfy a one-time participation threshold payment to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Department as part of becoming a Participating Jurisdiction under the HOME Program.

Federal regulations at 24 C.F.R. § 92.503 require all Program Income (PI) and Recaptured Funds (RF) to be used in accordance with HOME regulations only for HOME-eligible activities, and PI funds on hand must be maintained in an interest-bearing account. Interest earned on those funds is considered PI. To avoid de-committing appropriated grant funds from a specific Project, HOME PI may be accumulated throughout the current reporting period (state fiscal year) but must be committed to a Project in the next state fiscal year. Approval from HCD is required prior to the use of all HOME PI and RF. The PI received during the current reporting period, as well as PI anticipated to be received in the next state fiscal year, must be reported to HCD in accordance with HUD reporting requirements. Additionally, the City must identify how the funds will be used (name the project or program activity, and the intended beneficiary type) to ensure timely use of PI funds.

Similar to the process of responding to formal Notice of Funding Availability processes administered by HCD for new HOME grant funds, the City must prepare an application for HCD outlining the use of available and anticipated HOME program income. If approved as presented, the Resolution will permit the obligation and expenditure of HOME program income to the following programs and activities to be located in the City of Tulare for the benefit of low-income households: tenant based rental assistance; first-time homebuyer assistance; and, owner occupied rehabilitation assistance. Most, if not all, future HOME program income will be obligated for the implementation of homebuyer and rehabilitation assistance activities, while the forthcoming HOME funds allocated to the City by HUD are obligated to the development of affordable rental housing and tenant based rental assistance, per the recently adopted 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan.
