7.3 Fire Apparatus Repairs with Betts Truck Parts and Service.

Recommended Action: Authorize the City Manager to approve the purchase of repair parts and labor for Engine 61 with Betts Truck Parts & Service of Fresno, California in the amount of $57,270.96. [M. Ott]
Summary: In accordance with CM-14, City of Tulare Purchase Policy, Section 4, Additional Policies, Paragraph F (Emergency Purchase), the City of Tulare Fire Department is requesting City Council ratification of an emergency action taken by the City Manager to execute a purchase order for the repair and labor costs associated with replacing the front suspension components on Engine 61.

This purchase was necessitated by an emergent operational need. At the time of failure, the Fire Department had severely limited apparatus availability, with one additional front-line engine and two reserve units already out of service due to extended maintenance and safety-related issues. The unexpected mechanical failure of Engine 61 further reduced the Department’s ability to maintain adequate fire protection coverage.

With City Manager approval, the Fire Department executed the emergency purchase on January 16, 2026. Due to the immediacy of the situation and the need to place parts on order without delay, there was insufficient time to agendize the item for the January 20, 2026, City Council meeting. Prompt action was required to expedite repairs and restore Engine 61 to service as quickly as possible, ensuring the City maintains the appropriate number and type of in-service apparatus necessary to meet fire protection service levels as established by City Council.

Fiscal Impact & Funding Source(s): Funding is available in account 100-200-200-202-000- 5285 “R&M Firefighting Apparatus”.

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.

7.4 Agreements with California Department of Transportation.

Recommended Action: Adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager or designee to execute Master Agreements, Program Supplement Agreements, Fund Exchange Agreements, and/or Fund Transfer Agreements with the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans). [M. Miller]
Summary: The City of Tulare was awarded funding in the amount of $349,920 through Cycle 12 of the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) for CIP Project EN00106 – Santa Fe Trail Crossing Improvements. This project will install rectangular rapid flashing beacons (RRFBs) at the Santa Fe Trail crossings of Tulare Drive, E Street, M Street, Cherry Street, Blackstone Street, and Laspina Street to enhance pedestrian safety. To receive State funding for the project through HSIP, the City must execute an updated Master Agreement with the State Department of Transportation and a Program Supplement to the Master Agreement for the specific HSIP funding allocation. The State of California requires that local agencies provide a resolution certifying who is authorized to execute such documents on their behalf.

Copies of the resolution, Master Agreement, and Program Supplement are attached. The resolution authorizes the City Manager or designee to sign the Master Agreement, the Program Supplement, and any forthcoming funding agreements with Caltrans necessary to facilitate the allocation of HSIP funding for CIP Project EN0106 Santa Fe Trail Crossing Improvements.

Fiscal Impact & Funding Source(s): The requested action will facilitate the allocation of Highway Safety Improvement Program funds to the City for use on CIP Project EN0106 – Santa Fe Trail Crossing Improvements. It is anticipated that the resulting HSIP funding (in an amount of up to $349,920) will be received into Fund 320 Engineering Grants.

Environmental Review: This action does not constitute a “project” pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). CIP Project EN0106 will be subject to environmental review and clearance prior to the start of any construction.

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 prevent the City from being able to utilize State HSIP funding to construct CIP Project EN0106; or 3) Table - Delay could jeopardize the City’s ability to meet required programming dates necessary to secure State HSIP funding for CIP Project EN0106.

7.5 Award of Contract for CIP Project EN0106 Santa Fe Trail Crossing Improvements.

Recommended Action: Authorize the City Manager to execute a contract with Peters Engineering Group of Clovis, CA in an amount not to exceed $57,000 for engineering design and construction support services associated with CIP Project EN0106 Santa Fe Trail Crossing Improvements; and approve revisions to the project’s programmed funding in accordance with the revised CIP project sheet. [M. Miller]
Summary: The City of Tulare was awarded funding in the amount of $349,920 through Cycle 12 of the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) for CIP Project EN00106 Santa Fe Trail Tulare City Council Meeting Page 4 of 11
Agenda Memo - February 3, 2026
Crossing Improvements. This project will install rectangular rapid flashing beacons (RRFBs) at the Santa Fe Trail crossings of Tulare Drive, E Street, M Street, Cherry Street, Blackstone Street, and Laspina Street to enhance pedestrian safety.

Peters Engineering Group of Clovis, CA prepared the HSIP funding application and supporting documentation under an existing on-call consultant services contract with the City. Peters Engineering Group has the necessary expertise and experience to provide design and construction support services for the project and has proposed to perform the work for a not to exceed fee of $57,000. The Engineering Division has determined that the proposed fee is in line with industry standards and appropriate for the scope of work to be performed.

The proposed contract costs do exceed what was programmed for Project EN0106 in the Fiscal Year 2025-2030 CIP by an amount of $2,200. As such, Council is asked to approve a revised CIP project sheet reflecting an additional allocation of General CIP funding (Fund 400) in that amount.

Fiscal Impact & Funding Source(s): CIP Project EN0106 Santa Fe Trail Crossing Improvements was programmed in the Fiscal Year 2025-2030 CIP. The funding sources include Fund 320 Engineering Grant Fund (HSIP) and Fund 400 General CIP Fund.

As described in the Summary above, the actual contract costs for engineering design and construction support services are slightly higher than anticipated. As a result, an additional appropriation of $2,200 from General CIP Fund (Fund 400) will be required. A revised project sheet reflecting the actual contract costs for design and construction support services is attached for Council’s review and approval.

Environmental Review: This action does not constitute a “project” pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). CIP Project EN0106 will be subject to environmental review and clearance prior to the start of any construction.

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 - Council could deny the proposed contract award and direct staff to seek additional proposals. Given the prior work performed by Peters Engineering Group, the denial would prevent the City from being able to utilize State HSIP funding to construct CIP Project EN0106; or 3) Table - Delay could jeopardize the City’s ability to meet required programming dates necessary to secure State HSIP funding for CIP Project EN0106.

7.6 Conditional Final Map Acceptance for Fulton Estates Phase 2.

Recommended Action: Conditionally approve the final map and subdivision improvement agreement for Phase 2 of the Fulton Estates 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 prior to April 3, 2026. [M. Miller] Summary: Planning Commission Resolution No. 5435, which was adopted on October 24, 2022, approved the tentative subdivision map for the Fulton Estates subdivision. This subdivision is situated on the southwest corner of Tulare Avenue (State Route137) and Tulare City Council Meeting Page 5 of 11
Agenda Memo - February 3, 2026
Oakmore Street and comprises approximately 39 acres with a total of 185 single-family lots at full buildout. The development of the subdivision is being completed in phases. Phase 2 of the Fulton Estates subdivision will consist of 85 single-family residential lots.

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.

Environmental Review: The tentative subdivision map for Fulton Estates was approved by the Tulare Planning Commission on October 24, 2022 by Resolution No. 5435. A Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared in support of the tentative map submittal, and the Planning Commission made the finding that there was no substantial evidence that the project would have a significant effect on the environment with the incorporated mitigation measures.

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

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

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

Alternative Action: 1) Approve with changes - Changes would result in delay to the project schedule; 2) Deny - Construction of the proposed multi-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.

7.7 Telephone System Replacement.

Recommended Action: Authorize the City Manager to execute contracts related to CIP Project IT2023-07 Telephone System Replacement; award a professional services agreement to Cloud Revolution in the amount of $79,400 for Microsoft Teams migration services, subject to minor conforming changes as approved by the City Manager and City Attorney; authorize the City Manager or designee to approve Cloud Revolution contract change orders in an amount of not to exceed 10% ($7,940); and approve a contract change order to the Microsoft Enterprise Agreement with Dell, Inc. in the amount of $24,600 to cover through the end of the existing contract July 1, 2027. [J. Bowling]
Summary: Current Telephone System
The current telephone system was installed in 2013 and is reaching the end of its useful life.

The existing phone system will no longer be supported by the manufacturer in coming months.

Currently, staff have two separate solutions to help with communications: Mitel Connect and Microsoft Teams for videoconferencing.

Proposed Telephone System
Staff reviewed multiple different potential telephone systems and multiple partners to help facilitate the change to a new system. The proposed solution is the addition of telephone dialing to Microsoft Teams, expanding beyond existing video conferencing capabilities. The vendor Cloud Revolution will facilitate migration from Mitel Connect to Microsoft Teams. Cloud Tulare City Council Meeting Page 6 of 11
Agenda Memo - February 3, 2026
revolution is certified as a Microsoft Partner and has a deep knowledge and focus of Microsoft Teams and voice integration. Staff anticipate this project will be completed by Summer 2026.

The new solution will provide multiple enhanced functions including new modern calling features like mobile phone interoperability, voicemail transcription, and software integration into the Microsoft 365 environment. Additionally, the proposed solution will update how the system calls 911 for emergency services. The current system uses legacy copper lines to place 911 calls.

The new system will use E911 which will automatically provide more detailed location information to dispatch when 911 is called.

Procurement
The cost of Cloud Revolution’s scope of work is $79,400 and will be acquired using the cooperative purchasing agreement Omnia Partners Contract 01-125.

In June 2024, City Council authorized a 3-year Microsoft Enterprise Agreement for $442,418.76 ($147,472.46 annually) from July 1, 2024 to July 1, 2027, based on competitive bid agreement from Riverside, CA. A 20% contingency was authorized for the 3-year contract in the amount of $88,484 ($29,495 annually) for future licensing needs. However, this contingency was intended for existing operational needs and not intended to support telephone system replacement.

Therefore, an amendment to the existing Microsoft Enterprise Agreement of $22,121 annually is necessary to cover the cost of licenses required to enable voice calls on Microsoft Teams.

Fiscal Impact & Funding Source(s): All one-time expenses will be funded from CIP Project IT2023-07 Telephone System Replacement as appropriated in the Fiscal Year 2026 Budget.

All recurring expenses will be funded from existing operational budgets. The intent of this project is to keep recurring costs the same as the existing solution. While the dollars going to Microsoft are increasing, the overall cost to the telephone services are staying the same.

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: Subsequent contract approval to be revised by 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.

8. PUBLIC HEARING - Comments related to Public Hearing items are limited to three minutes per speaker, for a maximum of thirty minutes per item, unless otherwise extended by Council. For those that wish to provide public comment while viewing the meeting online, you may call (559) 366-1849.

Please note that there will be approximately a 20-second delay in broadcast for viewers. When calling in, mute the device used for viewing the meeting. [Time Estimate: 6:05 p.m.]

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 Landmark and adding them to the Local Register of Historic-Cultural Landmarks pursuant to Tulare Municipal Code Chapter 10.38. [M. Anaya] Continued from the January 20, 2026 City Council meeting.

Tulare City Council Meeting Page 7 of 11
Agenda Memo - February 3, 2026
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 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.

Tulare City Council Meeting Page 8 of 11
Agenda Memo - February 3, 2026
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.

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.

At the January 20, 2026 City Council meeting, the public hearing was opened and continued to February 3, 2026.

Staff Report
Meeting: City Council
Date: February 3, 2026
Department: Fire
Submitted by: Michael Ott, Fire Chief
Agenda Title: Fire Apparatus Repairs with Betts Truck Parts and Service

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize the City Manager to approve the purchase of repair parts and labor for Engine 61 with Betts Truck Parts & Service of Fresno, California in the amount of $57,270.96.

SUMMARY
In accordance with CM-14, City of Tulare Purchase Policy, Section 4, Additional Policies, Paragraph F (Emergency Purchase), the City of Tulare Fire Department is requesting City Council ratification of an emergency action taken by the City Manager to execute a purchase order for the repair and labor costs associated with replacing the front suspension components on Engine 61.

This purchase was necessitated by an emergent operational need. At the time of failure, the Fire Department had severely limited apparatus availability, with one additional front-line engine and two reserve units already out of service due to extended maintenance and safety-related issues. The unexpected mechanical failure of Engine 61 further reduced the Department’s ability to maintain adequate fire protection coverage.

With City Manager approval, the Fire Department executed the emergency purchase on January 16, 2026. Due to the immediacy of the situation and the need to place parts on order without delay, there was insufficient time to agendize the item for the January 20, 2026, City Council meeting. Prompt action was required to expedite repairs and restore Engine 61 to service as quickly as possible, ensuring the City maintains the appropriate number and type of in-service apparatus necessary to meet fire protection service levels as established by City Council.

FISCAL IMPACT & FUNDING SOURCES
Funding is available in account 100-200-200-202-000-5285 “R&M Firefighting Apparatus”.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This action does not constitute a “project” pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

POTENTIAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST
Staff is not aware of any conflicts of interest.

This item does not require legal review.

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

Agenda Title: Agreements with California Department of Transportation

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager or designee to execute Master Agreements, Program Supplement Agreements, Fund Exchange Agreements, and/or Fund Transfer Agreements with the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans).

SUMMARY
The City of Tulare was awarded funding in the amount of $349,920 through Cycle 12 of the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) for CIP Project EN00106 – Santa Fe Trail Crossing Improvements.

This project will install rectangular rapid flashing beacons (RRFBs) at the Santa Fe Trail crossings of Tulare Drive, E Street, M Street, Cherry Street, Blackstone Street, and Laspina Street to enhance pedestrian safety. To receive State funding for the project through HSIP, the City must execute an updated Master Agreement with the State Department of Transportation and a Program Supplement to the Master Agreement for the specific HSIP funding allocation. The State of California requires that local agencies provide a resolution certifying who is authorized to execute such documents on their behalf.

Copies of the resolution, Master Agreement, and Program Supplement are attached. The resolution authorizes the City Manager or designee to sign the Master Agreement, the Program Supplement, and any forthcoming funding agreements with Caltrans necessary to facilitate the allocation of HSIP funding for CIP Project EN0106 Santa Fe Trail Crossing Improvements.

FISCAL IMPACT & FUNDING SOURCES
The requested action will facilitate the allocation of Highway Safety Improvement Program funds to the City for use on CIP Project EN0106 Santa Fe Trail Crossing Improvements. It is anticipated that the resulting HSIP funding (in an amount of up to $349,920) will be received into Fund 320 – Engineering Grants.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This action does not constitute a “project” pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

CIP Project EN0106 will be subject to environmental review and clearance prior to the start of any construction.

POTENTIAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST
Staff is not aware of any conflicts of interest.

LEGAL REVIEW
This item does not require legal review.

ADMINISTERING AGENCY-STATE AGREEMENT

STATE-FUNDED PROJECTS

Page 1 of 15 ends

ARTICLE I - PROJECT ADMINISTRATION

1. This AGREEMENT shall have no force or effect with respect to any program project unless and until a project- specific Program Supplement to this AGREEMENT for state funded projects, hereinafter referred to as "PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT", has been fully executed by both STATE and ADMINISTERING AGENCY.

2. The State approved project-specific allocation notification letter and approved CTC allocation documentation designate the party responsible for implementing PROJECT, type of work, and location of PROJECT for projects requiring CTC allocation by PROJECT component of work.

3. The PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT sets out special covenants as a condition for the ADMINISTERING AGENCY to receive STATE FUNDS from/through STATE for designated PROJECT. The PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT shall also show these STATE FUNDS that have been initially encumbered for PROJECT along with the matching funds to be provided by ADMINISTERING AGENCY and/or others. Execution of PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT by the PARTIES shall cause ADMINISTERING AGENCY to adopt all the terms of this AGREEMENT as though fully set forth therein in the PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT. Unless otherwise expressly delegated in a resolution by the governing body of ADMINISTERING AGENCY, and with written concurrence by STATE, the PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT shall be approved and managed by the governing body of ADMINISTERING AGENCY.

4. ADMINISTERING AGENCY agrees to execute and return each project-specific PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT. The PARTIES agree that STATE may suspend future allocations, encumbrances and invoice payments for any on- going or future STATE FUNDED PROJECT performed by ADMINISTERING AGENCY if any project-specific PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT is not returned, unless otherwise agreed by STATE in writing.

5. ADMINISTERING AGENCY further agrees, as a condition to the release and payment of STATE FUNDS encumbered for the PROJECT described in each PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT, to comply with the terms and conditions of this AGREEMENT and all the agreed-upon Special Covenants or Remarks incorporated within the PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT, and Cooperative/Contribution Agreement where appropriate, defining and identifying the nature of the specific PROJECT.

6. STATE FUNDS will not participate in any portion of PROJECT work performed in advance of the effective date of allocation by CTC, or by STATE for allocations delegated to STATE by CTC, for said PROJECT.

7. Projects allocated with STATE FUNDS will be administered in accordance with the current CTC STIP Guidelines, applicable chapter(s) of the LAPG, LAPM and/or any other instructions published by STATE.

8. ADMINISTERING AGENCY agrees to ensure compliance with all relevant State laws and requirements for work related to PROJECT, including the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

9. ADMINISTERING AGENCY's eligible costs for preliminary engineering work includes all preliminary work directly related to PROJECT up to contract award for construction, including, but not limited to, environmental studies and permits (E&P), preliminary surveys and reports, laboratory work, soil investigations, the preparation of plans, specifications and estimates (PS&E), advertising for bids, awarding of a contract and project development contract administration.

Page 2 of 15 ends

10. ADMINISTERING AGENCY's eligible costs for construction engineering include actual inspection and supervision of PROJECT construction work; construction staking; laboratory and field testing; and the preparation and processing of field reports, records, estimates, final reports, and allowable expenses of employees/consultants engaged in such activities.

11. Unless the PARTIES agree otherwise in writing, ADMINISTERING AGENCY's employees or its contracted engineering consultant shall be responsible for all PROJECT engineering work.

12. ADMINISTERING AGENCY shall not proceed with final design of PROJECT until final environmental approval of PROJECT. Final design entails the design work necessary to complete the PS&E and other work necessary for a construction contract but not required earlier for environmental clearance of that PROJECT.

13. If PROJECT is not on STATE-owned right-of-way, PROJECT shall be constructed in accordance with Chapter 11 of the LAPM that describes minimum statewide design standards for local agency streets and roads. The design standards for projects off the National Highway System (NHS) allow STATE to accept either the current Caltrans Highway Design Manual standards, the current FHWA-adopted American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets standards, or the approved geometric design standards of ADMINISTERING AGENCY. Additionally, for projects off the NHS, STATE will accept ADMINISTERING AGENCY-approved standard specifications, standard plans, materials sampling and testing quality assurance programs that meet the conditions described in the then current Local Assistance Procedures Manual.

14. If PROJECT involves work within or partially within STATE-owned right-of-way, that PROJECT shall also be subject to compliance with the policies, procedures and standards of the STATE Project Development Procedures Manual and Highway Design Manual and where appropriate, an executed cooperative agreement between STATE and ADMINISTERING AGENCY that outlines the PROJECT responsibilities and respective obligations of the PARTIES. ADMINISTERING AGENCY and its contractors shall each obtain an encroachment permit through STATE prior to commencing any work within STATE rights-of-way or work which affects STATE facilities.

15. When PROJECT is not on the State Highway System (SHS) but includes work to be performed by a railroad, the contract for such work shall be prepared by ADMINISTERING AGENCY or by STATE, as the PARTIES may hereafter agree. In either event, ADMINISTERING AGENCY shall enter into an agreement with the railroad providing for future maintenance of protective devices or other facilities installed under the contract.

16. ADMINISTERING AGENCY shall comply with the provisions of sections 4450 and 4454 of the California Government Code, as well as other Department of General Services guidance, if applicable, for the contract PS&E for the construction of buildings, structures, sidewalks, curbs and related facilities for accessibility and usability. Further requirements and guidance are provided in Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations.

17. ADMINISTERING AGENCY shall provide a full-time public employee to be in responsible charge of each PROJECT. ADMINISTERING AGENCY shall provide or arrange for adequate supervision and inspection of each PROJECT. ADMINISTERING AGENCY may utilize consultants to perform supervision and inspection work for PROJECT with a

Page 3 of 15 ends

fully qualified and licensed engineer. Utilization of consultants does not relieve ADMINISTERING AGENCY of its obligation to provide a full-time public employee to be in responsible charge of each PROJECT.

18. Unless otherwise provided in the PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT, ADMINISTERING AGENCY shall advertise, award, and administer the PROJECT construction contract or contracts.

19. The cost of maintenance, security, or protection performed by ADMINISTERING AGENCY or contractor forces during any temporary suspension of PROJECT or at any other time may not be charged to the PROJECT.

20. ADMINISTERING AGENCY shall submit PROJECT-specific award information to STATE's District Local Assistance Engineer, within sixty (60) days after contract award.

21. ADMINISTERING AGENCY shall submit the final report documents that collectively constitute a "Final Project Expenditure Report", LAPM Exhibit 17-M, within one hundred eighty (180) days of PROJECT completion. Failure by ADMINISTERING AGENCY to submit a "Final Project Expenditure Report", within 180 days of project completion will result in STATE imposing sanctions upon ADMINISTERING AGENCY in accordance with the Local Assistance Procedures Manual.

22. ADMINISTERING AGENCY shall comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 that prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability and all applicable regulations and guidelines issued pursuant to the ADA.

23. The Governor and the Legislature of the State of California, each within their respective jurisdictions, have prescribed certain nondiscrimination requirements with respect to contract and other work financed with public funds. ADMINISTERING AGENCY agrees to comply with the requirements of the FAIR EMPLOYMENT PRACTICES ADDENDUM, attached hereto as Exhibit A and further agrees that any agreement entered into by ADMINISTERING AGENCY with a third party for performance of work connected with PROJECT shall incorporate Exhibit A (with third party's name replacing ADMINISTERING AGENCY) as parts of such agreement.

24. ADMINISTERING AGENCY shall include in all contracts and subcontracts awarded when applicable, a clause that requires each subcontractor to comply with California Labor Code requirements that all workers employed on public works aspects of any project (as defined in California Labor Code sections 1720-1815) be paid not less than the general prevailing wage rates predetermined by the Department of Industrial Relations as effective at the date of contract award by the ADMINISTERING AGENCY.

ARTICLE II - RIGHTS-OF-WAY

1. No contract for the construction of a STATE FUNDED PROJECT shall be awarded until all necessary rights of way have been secured. Prior to the advertising for construction of PROJECT, ADMINISTERING AGENCY shall certify and, upon request, shall furnish STATE with evidence that all necessary rights-of-way are available for construction purposes or will be available by the time of award of the construction contract.

2. The furnishing of rights of way by ADMINISTERING AGENCY as provided for herein includes, and is limited to, the following, unless the PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT provides otherwise.

(c) The cost of relocation payments and services provided to owners and occupants pursuant to Government Code sections 7260-7277 when PROJECT displaces an individual, family, business, farm operation or nonprofit organization. (d) The cost of demolition and/or the sale of all improvements on the right-of-way after credit is recorded for sale proceeds used to offset PROJECT costs. (e) The cost of all unavoidable utility relocation, protection or removal. (f) The cost of all necessary hazardous material and hazardous waste treatment, encapsulation or removal and protective storage for which ADMINISTERING AGENCY accepts responsibility and where the actual generator cannot be identified, and recovery made.

3. ADMINISTERING AGENCY agrees to indemnify and hold STATE harmless from any liability that may result in the event the right-of-way for a PROJECT is not clear as certified by ADMINISTERING AGENCY, including, but not limited to, if said right-of-way is found to contain hazardous materials requiring treatment or removal to remediate in accordance with Federal and State laws. ADMINISTERING AGENCY shall pay, from its own non- matching funds, any costs which arise out of delays to the construction of PROJECT because utility facilities have not been timely removed or relocated, or because rights-of-way were not available to ADMINISTERING AGENCY for the orderly prosecution of PROJECT work.

ARTICLE III - MAINTENANCE AND MANAGEMENT

1. ADMINISTERING AGENCY will maintain and operate the property acquired, developed, constructed, rehabilitated, or restored by PROJECT for its intended public use until such time as the parties might amend this AGREEMENT to otherwise provide.

With the approval of STATE, ADMINISTERING AGENCY or its successors in interest in the PROJECT property may transfer this obligation and responsibility to maintain and operate PROJECT property for that intended public purpose to another public entity.

2. Upon ADMINISTERING AGENCY's acceptance of the completed construction contract or upon contractor being relieved of the responsibility for maintaining and protecting PROJECT, ADMINISTERING AGENCY will be responsible for the maintenance, ownership, liability, and the expense thereof, for PROJECT in a manner satisfactory to the authorized representatives of STATE and if PROJECT falls within the jurisdictional limits of another Agency or Agencies, it is the duty of ADMINISTERING AGENCY to facilitate a separate maintenance agreement(s) between itself and the other jurisdictional Agency or Agencies providing for the operation, maintenance, ownership and liability of PROJECT. Until those agreements are executed, ADMINISTERING AGENCY will be responsible for all PROJECT operations, maintenance, ownership and liability in a manner satisfactory to the authorized representatives of STATE. If, within ninety (90) days after receipt of notice from STATE that a PROJECT, or any portion thereof, is not

Page 5 of 15 ends

being properly operated and maintained and ADMINISTERING AGENCY has not satisfactorily remedied the conditions complained of, the approval of future STATE FUNDED PROJECTS of ADMINISTERING AGENCY will be withheld until the PROJECT shall have been put in a condition of operation and maintenance satisfactory to STATE. The provisions of this section shall not apply to a PROJECT that has been vacated through due process of law with STATE's concurrence.

3. PROJECT and its facilities shall be maintained by an adequate and well-trained staff of engineers and/or such other professionals and technicians as PROJECT reasonably requires. Said operations and maintenance staff may be employees of ADMINISTERING AGENCY, another unit of government, or a contractor under agreement with ADMINISTERING AGENCY. All maintenance will be performed at regular intervals or as required for efficient operation of the complete PROJECT improvements.

4. ADMINISTERING AGENCY shall comply with all applicable law, including but not limited to, all applicable legal authority regarding construction standards.

ARTICLE IV - FISCAL PROVISIONS

1. All contractual obligations of STATE are subject to the appropriation of resources by the Legislature and the allocation of resources by the CTC.

Agenda Title: Award of Contract for CIP Project EN0106 Santa Fe Trail Crossing Improvements

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize the City Manager to execute a contract with Peters Engineering Group of Clovis, CA in an amount not to exceed $57,000 for engineering design and construction support services associated with CIP Project EN0106 Santa Fe Trail Crossing Improvements; and approve revisions to the project’s programmed funding in accordance with the revised CIP project sheet.

SUMMARY
The City of Tulare was awarded funding in the amount of $349,920 through Cycle 12 of the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) for CIP Project EN00106 Santa Fe Trail Crossing Improvements.

This project will install rectangular rapid flashing beacons (RRFBs) at the Santa Fe Trail crossings of Tulare Drive, E Street, M Street, Cherry Street, Blackstone Street, and Laspina Street to enhance pedestrian safety.

Peters Engineering Group of Clovis, CA prepared the HSIP funding application and supporting documentation under an existing on-call consultant services contract with the City. Peters Engineering Group has the necessary expertise and experience to provide design and construction support services for the project and has proposed to perform the work for a not to exceed fee of $57,000. The Engineering Division has determined that the proposed fee is in line with industry standards and appropriate for the scope of work to be performed.

The proposed contract costs do exceed what was programmed for Project EN0106 in the Fiscal Year 2025-2030 CIP by an amount of $2,200. As such, Council is asked to approve a revised CIP project sheet reflecting an additional allocation of General CIP funding (Fund 400) in that amount.

FISCAL IMPACT & FUNDING SOURCES
CIP Project EN0106 Santa Fe Trail Crossing Improvements was programmed in the Fiscal Year 2025- 2030 CIP. The funding sources include Fund 320 Engineering Grant Fund (HSIP) and Fund 400 General CIP Fund.

As described in the Summary above, the actual contract costs for engineering design and construction support services are slightly higher than anticipated. As a result, an additional appropriation of $2,200 from General CIP Fund (Fund 400) will be required. A revised project sheet reflecting the actual contract costs for design and construction support services is attached for Council’s review and approval.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This action does not constitute a “project” pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

CIP Project EN0106 will be subject to environmental review and clearance prior to the start of any construction.

POTENTIAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST
Staff is not aware of any conflicts of interest.

LEGAL REVIEW
This item does not require legal review.

Item #: 7.5
Consent

PUBLIC NOTICE
This item does not require a public hearing and was noticed as a part of the agenda.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION

1. Approve with changes – Staff will incorporate any minor changes directed by Council.

2. Deny – Council could deny the proposed contract award and direct staff to seek additional proposals.

Given the prior work performed by Peters Engineering Group, the denial would prevent the City from being able to utilize State HSIP funding to construct CIP Project EN0106.

3. Table – Delay could jeopardize the City’s ability to meet required programming dates necessary to secure State HSIP funding for CIP Project EN0106.

Staff Report
Meeting: City Council
Date: February 3, 2026
Department: Information Technology Services
Submitted by: Jason Bowling, Deputy City Manager / Chief Technology Officer Agenda Title: Telephone System Replacement

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize the City Manager to execute contracts related to CIP Project IT2023-07 Telephone System Replacement; award a professional services agreement to Cloud Revolution in the amount of $79,400 for Microsoft Teams migration services, subject to minor conforming changes as approved by the City Manager and City Attorney; authorize the City Manager or designee to approve Cloud Revolution contract change orders in an amount of not to exceed 10% ($7,940); and approve a contract change order to the Microsoft Enterprise Agreement with Dell, Inc. in the amount of $24,600 to cover through the end of the existing contract July 1, 2027.

SUMMARY
Current Telephone System
The current telephone system was installed in 2013 and is reaching the end of its useful life. The existing phone system will no longer be supported by the manufacturer in coming months. Currently, staff have two separate solutions to help with communications: Mitel Connect and Microsoft Teams for videoconferencing.

Proposed Telephone System
Staff reviewed multiple different potential telephone systems and multiple partners to help facilitate the change to a new system. The proposed solution is the addition of telephone dialing to Microsoft Teams, expanding beyond existing video conferencing capabilities. The vendor Cloud Revolution will facilitate migration from Mitel Connect to Microsoft Teams. Cloud revolution is certified as a Microsoft Partner and has a deep knowledge and focus of Microsoft Teams and voice integration. Staff anticipate this project will be completed by Summer 2026.

The new solution will provide multiple enhanced functions including new modern calling features like mobile phone interoperability, voicemail transcription, and software integration into the Microsoft 365 environment. Additionally, the proposed solution will update how the system calls 911 for emergency services. The current system uses legacy copper lines to place 911 calls. The new system will use E911 which will automatically provide more detailed location information to dispatch when 911 is called.

Procurement
The cost of Cloud Revolution’s scope of work is $79,400 and will be acquired using the cooperative purchasing agreement Omnia Partners Contract 01-125.

In June 2024, City Council authorized a 3-year Microsoft Enterprise Agreement for $442,418.76 ($147,472.46 annually) from July 1, 2024 to July 1, 2027, based on competitive bid agreement from Riverside, CA. A 20% contingency was authorized for the 3-year contract in the amount of $88,484 ($29,495 annually) for future licensing needs. However, this contingency was intended for existing operational needs and not intended to support telephone system replacement. Therefore, an amendment to the existing Microsoft Enterprise Agreement of $22,121 annually is necessary to cover the cost of licenses required to enable voice calls on Microsoft Teams.

Item #: 7.7
Consent

FISCAL IMPACT & FUNDING SOURCES
All one-time expenses will be funded from CIP Project IT2023-07 Telephone System Replacement as appropriated in the Fiscal Year 2026 Budget.

All recurring expenses will be funded from existing operational budgets. The intent of this project is to keep recurring costs the same as the existing solution. While the dollars going to Microsoft are increasing, the overall cost to the telephone services are staying the same.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This action does not constitute a “project” pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

POTENTIAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST
Staff are not aware of any conflicts of interest.

LEGAL REVIEW
Subsequent contract approval to be revised by the City Attorney.

PUBLIC NOTICE
This item does not require a public hearing and was noticed as a part of the agenda.

Compensation to Consultant Upon Termination. Consultant shall be paid compensation for Services satisfactorily performed prior to service of the written notice of termination. As to any phase partially performed but for which the applicable portion of Consultant's compensation has not become due, Consultant shall be paid the reasonable value of its Services provided. However, in no event shall such payment when added to any other payment due under the applicable part of the work exceed the total compensation of such part as specified Section 4. In the event of termination due to Consultant’s failure to perform in accordance with the terms of this Agreement through no fault of the City, and City may withhold an amount that would otherwise be payable as an offset to the City's damages caused by such failure. d. Effect of Termination. Upon termination of this Agreement, Consultant shall: (i) promptly discontinue all Services affected, unless the notice of termination directs otherwise; and (ii) deliver or otherwise make available to the City, without additional compensation, all work product and/or deliverables accumulated by Consultant in performing this Agreement, whether completed or in process.

e. Non-Appropriation; Lack of Available Funds. The parties acknowledge Services to be performed under this Agreement are expected to extend beyond the City’s budgeted fiscal year.

If, during the term of this Agreement, or any renewal term, as applicable, City budget does not appropriate sufficient funds for this Agreement, then City may elect to terminate this Agreement, at its sole discretion, by giving thirty (30) days' prior written notice of termination to Consultant.

Upon termination of the Agreement under this section, City shall have no further liability to pay any funds to Consultant or to furnish any other consideration under this Agreement, and Consultant shall not be obligated to perform any provisions of this Agreement or to provide services intended to be funded pursuant to this Agreement. If partial funds are appropriated or provided, City shall have the option to either terminate this Agreement with no liability to City or offer an amendment to Consultant to reflect the reduced amount. City represents and warrants that (i) as of the Effective Date, it has appropriated the funds for this Agreement for the current fiscal year and (ii) it shall not use the foregoing right to terminate for non-appropriation as a means to terminate for convenience. Consultant’s assumption of risk of possible non-appropriation is part of the consideration for this Agreement. City budget decisions are subject to the discretion of the City Council.

Executive Summary
The City of Tulare is currently utilizing a Mitel Phone System. This phone system is now End of Life (EOL) and they are evaluating solutions to replace it. They have approximately 350-400 extensions on the Mitel today. These extensions represent users, common area devices, and conference rooms.

Cloud Revolution is proposing to migrate the customer to Microsoft Teams.Cloud Revolution would utilize SIPPIO to provide PSTN via Operator Connect.

Cloud Revolution will work with the customer to perform design and planning.

Once the Decisions document is signed-off on by the customer,Cloud Revolution will continue to the Build phase. The Build phase will be considered complete when the initial test plan is completed.

Cloud Revolution will run a pilot with the customer to validate the Adoption and Change Management process for the organization. This pilot will utilize the same plan as the production cutovers.

Taking into account the lessons learned from the pilot, Cloud Revolution will work with the customer to perform up to six (6) cutover events.

Each cutover will have one day of support.

After the cutovers, Cloud Revolution will evaluate call quality to identify any locations that may be having difficulties.

The project is structured as a fixed-fee engagement, with pricing tied to defined deliverables and organized into milestones for project governance and billing.

Submitted by: Mario Anaya, Community Development Director Agenda Title: 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.

Continued from the January 20, 2026 City Council meeting.

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 remaining two-story VictorianColonial 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 M2 (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.

Item #: 8.1
Public Hearing
• 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.

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.

At the January 20, 2026 City Council meeting, the public hearing was opened and continued to February 3, 2026.

POTENTIAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST
