File #: 22-0229 Agenda Date: 6/20/2022 Agenda #: 8.

Agenda Item Wording:

Accept the City of Visalia Cash and Investment report for the third quarter of the fiscal year which consists of months January, February, and March 2022.

Deadline for Action: 6/20/2022
Submitting Department: Finance and Technology Services
Contact Name and Phone Number: Jason Montgomery, 4425
Department Recommendation:

Staff recommends that Council accept the City of Visalia Cash and Investment Report for the third quarter of the fiscal year which consists of months January, February, and March 2022.

Background Discussion:

The City accumulates significant cash assets before they are spent on a variety of governmental operations. For example, several large capital projects have accumulated substantial cash as they approach the start of the projects in the near future, or in some cases, have already begun. Some of these projects are Cape Seal of various streets and the major rehabs of the 198/Akers interchange and Caldwell Avenue from Akers to Shady.

The quarterly investment report is intended to inform the City Council and community about the status of City investments, and holds staff accountable for the investment and management of these funds.

City Investment Policy
The City’sinvestments are diversified by the various maturities and credit types which are allowed under the City’sInvestment Policy and California Government Code Section 53600 et seq. It is the policy of the City to invest public funds in a manner which will provide the greatest security with the maximum investment return while meeting the daily cash flow demands of the City and conforming to all state and local statutes governing the investment of public funds.

The City continues to be conservative and prudent with the investment objectives, which in order of priority is safety, liquidity, and yield, while maintaining compliance with federal, state, and local laws and regulations. These investments will enable the City to meet expenditure requirements for the next six months, as required by state law.

Economic Outlook
At March 31, 2022, the national unemployment rate continued to improve and was at 3.6%. The Consumer Price Index climbed to 8.54%, a continued increase from the December 2021 rate of

7.04%. At its May 4, 2022 meeting, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) raised the Federal Funds Rate (the rate at which institutions borrow and lend overnight funds to each other) by 50 basis Visalia City Council Printed on 6/17/2022Page 1 of 5

points to the current range of .75% to 1.00% as they stated, “Although overall economic activity edged down in the first quarter, household spending and business fixed investment remained strong.

Job gains have been robust in recent months, and the unemployment rate has declined substantially.

Inflation remains elevated, reflecting supply and demand imbalances related to the pandemic, higher energy prices, and broader price pressures.”
Movements of the Federal Funds Rate are closely linked to Treasury Security rates; as the Federal Funds Rate increases, typically so do Treasury Security rates. Treasury Securities are investments that the City can purchase and are key benchmarks for other financial assets that the City can purchase (i.e.: Federal Agency’s). Table 1 shows the rate comparison of the Federal Funds Rate and short term Treasury Securities between the second and third quarter of the current fiscal year and May 2022. Recently, rates have been increasing across all maturity ranges. The City has begun purchasing more longer term maturities to lock in higher interest rates but will continue to remain laddered across all maturities to ensure funds are available for future increases anticipated to be implemented by the FOMC.

Future Management
The City manages the portfolio partly by considering the weighted average maturity (WAM) based upon management’sexpectations for rising, neutral or declining interest rates. Usually, the longer an investment’smaturity, the higher the interest rate will be. However, the longer the maturity, the more at risk the portfolio is to market gains or losses due to interest rate changes.

Agenda Item Wording:

Approve annual membership in the Tulare County Economic Development Corporation (TCEDC) for FY 22/23 in the amount of $50,000.

Deadline for Action: 6/20/2022
Submitting Department: Community Development
Contact Name and Phone Number: Devon Jones, 4190
Department Recommendation:

Approve annual membership in the Tulare County Economic Development Corporation (TCEDC) for FY 22/23 in the amount of $50,000.

Background Discussion:

Staff is requesting Council approval to continue an annual membership in the Tulare County Economic Development Corporation (TCEDC) for the 2022/23 FY. Below are some TCEDC activity highlights from the prior FY but, generally speaking, staff has been working closely with existing TCEDC staff on several new leads and ongoing marketing of the city and believes existing staff to be hard working and a valuable asset to the city’s economic development efforts. Airica de Oliveira and Arisbet Torres-Villasenor have been working extremely hard to maintain service levels given the recent departure of prior CEO, Nathan Ahle. The organization is in a period of change, given this departure, but it is an opportunity for both the organization and the member jurisdictions to reassess economic development priorities. The attached work plan is from the current fiscal year and will serve as the interim, status quo work plan for the coming fiscal year while the TCEDC Board assesses input from the jurisdictions and makes decisions on personnel matters.

Additionally, regional economic development planning funding could be coming to the Tulare and Kings County region through the Community Economic Resilience Fund (CERF). This funding would pay for a long-term economic development planning effort that would span the two-county region, as well as identify bridge opportunities with existing Fresno DRIVE plans to the north and be an inclusive planning exercise that would involve various stakeholder groups to best ensure equitable access to economic prosperity for the region. The TCEDC should play an integral role in this process. Furthermore, Vice Mayor Poochigian continues to serve on the Board’s Executive Committee and has effected positive change in the organization as a result.

Currently, all Tulare County jurisdictions are members of the TCEDC.

Staff’s recommendation is to remain members of the TCEDC for FY 22/23 for the annual amount of $50,000 which is the status quo membership amount. Payments will be made quarterly with the intention that each quarter, staff will consult with Vice Mayor Poochigian as Council representative on the TCEDC Board to confirm continued membership and payments.

Of the 38 projects this FY, TCEDC submitted 57 sites for Visalia across 23 projects. Of the remaining 15 projects that Visalia did not participate in, 7 were ‘Assists’ which typically are direct requests for assistance from TCEDC member jurisdictions with an interested prospect or direct requests from prospects that have selected a site already. In these 7 cases, Visalia was not applicable. Of the remaining 8 projects that Visalia sites were not submitted, in all cases city staff was in contact with TCEDC staff and confirmed Visalia sites either did not meet site selection criteria, or that there was no interest in submitting sites. Typically, those projects we did not meet the criteria for were either too large and required rail, or required existing facilities that did not, or could not exist within the required timeframe for operation. Those projects where there was no interest in submitting a site typically required too much acreage for outdoor storage compared to proposed developed space (typically biomass/bioenergy related). In these cases, staff would recommend a more intensive use of the zoned industrial land, particularly given eligible sites may exist elsewhere in the county.

8 2021-22 Work Plan

IDEAL OUTCOMES
The byproduct of the EDC’s work plan activities is a company locating or expanding a facility within Tulare County. The EDC plays a support role in the final site selection process as the primary decision is made by the company, working in conjunction with the local jurisdiction whose site was selected by the company. An announced location brings new jobs, capital investment, real estate development, fiscal impact to local jurisdictions and economic impact throughout the community. Likewise, local company expansions provide similar economic impact in the communities when they add employees or additional equipment and facilities.

The Board has established the following as the ideal annual outcomes from the work the EDC does:

• Number of locates and/or assisted projects: 8
• Number of new jobs created: 200
• Fiscal impact of new jobs created: $1.4 million
• Economic impact of new jobs created: $6.3 million
Note: Fiscal and economic impact based on historic data of prior company locations and is an average across primary industries. A fiscal and economic impact analysis will be conducted on each located project.

Ideally, it is the desire of the EDC and local jurisdictions for each community to experience a new company location or expansion because of the EDC’s business plan at least once in every five years. For some cities, this may include retail, commercial or another non-industrial project that is identified and assisted by the EDC.
327
FY 21-22 METRICS OVERVIEW
Despite the continued challenges Tulare County faced brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, TCEDC staff remained responsive to incoming leads from site selectors, brokers, and from local partners to continue facilitating job creation in Tulare County. Below are the prospect activity metrics for the 2021-2022 Fiscal Year.

Staff recommends that City Council:

1. Authorize the City Manager to award a construction contract to Bush Engineering, Inc. for the Enhanced Crosswalk at Denton Street and Ferguson Avenue and the Linwood Street Pedestrian Pathway Projects in the amount of $282,322; and

2. Approve an appropriation of $50,200 from the Measure R Local Fund to the Enhanced Crosswalk at Denton Street and Ferguson Avenue project (CP0297).

Background Discussion:

These two projects are to provide pedestrian safety measures at two separate locations near existing elementary schools. The first location is along Linwood Street between Ferguson Avenue and Modoc Avenue. This will provide the connectivity between the existing sidewalks at each end of the project limits to provide a safe route along a county island, but within City ROW, between the existing residential neighborhood to and from Oak Grove Elementary School. The second location is at the intersection of Denton Street and Ferguson Avenue where an enhanced crosswalk with pedestrian activated flashing beacons will be installed adjacent to the existing Denton Elementary School.

The first project will construct a pedestrian pathway along the west side of Linwood Street between Ferguson Avenue and Modoc Avenue connecting to the existing sidewalk at the north and south limits of this project. Linwood Street is a City of Visalia roadway, however the parcels to the west along this segment are still within the County. This segment of Linwood Street is currently a two-lane roadway with graded shoulders. The pedestrian pathway’s design is consistent with the neighborhood’s rural setting. The pathway will meander along the west side of Linwood Street adjacent to an abandoned irrigation ditch which will be retained to function as a swale to collect any urban runoff. Oak Grove Elementary is located south of the intersection of Linwood Street at Visalia City Council Printed on 6/17/2022Page 1 of 5

urban runoff. Oak Grove Elementary is located south of the intersection of Linwood Street at Ferguson Avenue and student walk along Linwood Street from the existing residential houses located north of the project limits to the elementary school. The proposed pedestrian pathway will provide a separate all weather surfaced pathway connecting the existing sidewalks at the limits of this project.

This is an already developed area that will be annexed into the City. This is an opportunity to provide a safer route for pedestrians prior to annexation since further development will not occur that would provide this sidewalk.

In recent years there has been a significant construction of residential houses in the northwest Visalia area. This growth caused the Visalia Unified School District (VUSD) to construct a new elementary (Denton Elementary) at the corner of Denton and Ferguson to facilitate the need. This new school initiated a minor re boundary of the elementary schools in this area including Hurley, Goshen, Oak Grove and Denton Elementary. When the re boundary occurred busing was adjusted which removed Oak Grove students from bus services to now walking. This occurred in 2018 with the opening of Denton Elementary in 2019. The path leads the displaced Oak Grove students to Linwood Street where a county island exists without the normal sidewalk and infrastructure built. There have been multiple meeting with VUSD and Oak Grove Elementary parents who have expressed the need for a connective pathway along this segment of Linwood Street for students walking to and from school.

The second project will construct an enhanced crosswalk at the intersection of Denton Street and Ferguson Avenue which is adjacent to Denton Elementary School. This enhanced crosswalk also provides access to Lyons Park located on the north side of Ferguson Avenue at Denton Street. The enhanced crosswalk will provide for a safer crossing of Ferguson Avenue and provide connectivity between the residential neighborhood on either side of Ferguson Avenue. The existing school crosswalk will be relocated to the west side of the intersection closer to Denton Elementary School, provide pedestrian activated flashing beacons, the installation of a median island, and bulbouts for the protection of the pedestrian crossing Ferguson Avenue. The existing school crosswalk on the east side of the intersection crossing Ferguson Avenue will be removed in its entirety so that all pedestrian traffic is funneled to cross at a single location. The existing school crosswalk crossing Denton Street will remain.

This location meet the California Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA-MUTCD) criteria for the installation of the flashing beacons due to the high number of pedestrian crossing associated with Denton Elementary School and the use of Lions Park located on the north side of Ferguson Avenue.

The majority of the students attending Denton Elementary walk to school.

The Enhanced Crosswalk at Denton Street and Ferguson Avenue and the Linwood Street Pedestrian Pathway Projects were advertised together because they are similar in scope which can be completed by a single contractor.

Construction is expected to begin the first week of July and has been specified to be completed by August 4; which is one-week prior to the start of school, as to minimize any construction activity that would hinder school traffic.

Bidding Process:

These two projects were advertised together (RFB 21-22-52 and RFB 21-22-54) for the Installation of the Enhance Crosswalk at Denton Street and Ferguson Project and the Linwood Street Pedestrian Pathway Project since they are complimentary projects.

CITY OF VISALIA

Statement of Investment Policy

INTRODUCTION

The City of Visalia (The City) strives to maintain the level of investment of all funds as near 100% as possible through daily and projected cash flow determinations. Investments are made so maturities match or precede the cash needs of the City. The City will insure that principal invested is protected from loss while maintaining adequate cash availability and maximizing yield on invested funds.

The basic premise underlying the City's investment philosophy is to insure that money is always available when needed. A minimu m amount of 6% of the adopted operating budget is maintained in immediately available investments, such as the State Treasurer's Local Agency Investment Fund or other cash equivalents. This may include commercial paper, banker's acceptances, or new repurchase agreements.

The City’s portfolio will be limited to an average life of three years or less. When the market warrants purchase of longer maturities to capture a higher rate of return, purchases will be limited to United States Treasury Notes and Bonds, Federal Agencies, Medium Term Notes , and Mortgage Backed Securities.

The City will attempt to ladder the portfolio with staggered maturities so that a portion of the portfolio will mature each year. In addition, the economy and various markets are monitored carefully to assess the probable course of interest rates. In a market with low or increasing interest rates, the City will attempt to invest in securities with shorter maturities. This makes funds available for other investments when the interest rates are higher. When interest rates appear to be near a relative high rate, the City will attempt to purchase investments with medium to long -term maturities to lock in the higher rate of return. When interest rates are falling, the City will invest in securities with longer maturities to hold the higher rate for a longer period of time.

The City will also take advantage of any new investment instrument that becomes eligible for municipal investment only after a d etailed review of the investment, and its safety, liquidi ty and yield are completed.

1.0 Policy

It is the policy of the City to invest public funds in a manner which will provide the greatest security with the maximum investment return while meeting the daily cash flow demands of the entity and conforming to all state and local statutes governing the investment of public funds.

2.0 Scope

It is intended that this Investment Policy cover all funds and investment activities under the direct authority of the City organization.

342
2 | P a g e

3.0 Prudence

As a charter city, the City operates its pooled cash investments under the prudent investor rule.

Investments shall be made with the judgment and care, under the circumstances then prevailing which investors of prudence, discretion, and intelligence exercise in the management of their own affairs, not for speculation, but for investment, considering the probable safety of their capital as well as the probable income to be derived. This affords the City a broad spectrum of investment opportunities as long as the investment is deemed prudent and is allowable under current legislation of the State of California, the charter of the City, and this investment policy. Investments will be made in a ra nge of instruments to insure diversification of the City's portfolio and liquidity of assets in an emergency situation.

3.1 The standard of prudence to be used by investment officials shall be the “prudent person” standard and shall be applied in the cont ext of managing an overall portfolio. Investment officers acting in accordance with written procedures and the investment policy and exercising due diligence shall be relieved of personal responsibility for an individual security’s credit risk or market p rice changes, provided deviations from expectations are reported in a timely fashion and appropriate action is taken to control adverse developments. Future State of California legislative actions affecting this investment policy (adding further restricti ons to the type and length of investments) shall not apply to those investments held prior to the enactment of said legislation unless specifically identified in the legislative action.

4.0 Objective

The primary objectives, in priority order, of the City of Visalia’s investment activities shall be:

4.1 Safety: Safety of principal is the foremost objective of the investment program. Investments of the City shall be undertaken in a manner that seeks to ensure the preservation of capital in the overall portfolio. The objective will be to mitigate credit risk and interest rate risk.

a. Credit Risk, which is the risk of loss due to the failure of the security issuer or backer, will be minimized by:
• Limiting investments to the types of securities listed in Section 8.0 of this Investment Policy • Pre-qualifying the financial institutions, broker/dealers, intermediaries, and advisers with which the City will do business in accordance with Section 7.0 • Diversifying the investment portfolio so that the impact of potential losses from any one type of security or from any one individual issuer will be minimized.

b. Interest Rate Risk, which is the risk that the market value of securities in the portfolio will fall due to changes in market interest rates, by:
• Structuring the investment portfolio so that securities mature to meet cash requirements for ongoing operations, thereby avoiding the need to sell securities on the open market prior to maturity
• Investing funds primarily in shorter -term securities, money market mutual funds, or similar investment pools and limiting the average maturity of the portfolio in accordance with this policy as outlined in Section 13.0.

4.2 Liquidity: The City’s investment portfolio will remain sufficiently liquid to enable the City to meet all operating requirements which might be reasonably anticipated.

343
3 | P a g e

4.3 Return on Investments: The City’s investment portfolio shall be designed with the objec tive of attaining a rate of return throughout budgetary and economic cycles, commensurate with the City’s investment risk constraints and the cash flow characteristics of the portfolio. Securities shall generally be held until maturity with the following exceptions:
• A security with declining credit may be sold early to minimize loss of principal. • A security swap would improve the quality, yield, or target duration in the portfolio. • Liquidity needs of the portfolio require that the security be sold.

5.0 Delegation of Authority:

Authority to manage the City’s investment program is derived from the City’s Charter. On November 21, 1983 Council delegated responsibility (Resolution 83 -96) for the investment program is to the Finance Director (Treasurer), who shall establish written procedures for the operation of the investment program consistent with this investment policy. Procedures should include reference to: safekeeping, repurchase agreements, wire transfer agreements, banking service contracts and collateral/depository agreements. Such procedures shall include explicit delegation of authority to persons responsible for investment transactions. No person may engage in an investment transaction except as provided under the terms of this policy and the procedures established by the Treasurer. The Treasurer shall be responsible for all transactions undertaken and shall establish a system of controls to regulate the activities of subordinate officials. Annually, Council will review and adopt by resolution the updated Investment Policy, in which Council will delegate responsibility for the investment program to the Treasurer.

6.0 Ethics and Conflicts of Interest

Officers and employees involved in the investment process shall refrain from personal business activity that could conflict with proper execution of the investment program, or which could impair their ability to make impartial investment decisions. Employees and investment officials shall disclose to the Treasurer any material interests in financial institutions that conduct business within this juri sdiction, and they shall further disclose any large personal financial/investment positions that could be related to the performance of the City, particularly with regard to the time of purchases and sales.

7.0 Authorized Financial Dealers and Institutions:

The Treasurer will maintain a list of financial institutions authorized to provide investment services. In addition, a list will also be maintained of approved security broker/dealers selected by credit worthiness who are authorized to provide investm ent services in the State of California. These may include “primary” dealers or regional dealers that qualify under Securities & Exchange Commission Rule 15C3- 1 (uniform net capital rule). No public deposit shall be made except in a qualified public depo sitory as established by State laws.

All financial institutions and broker/dealers who desire to become qualified bidders for investment transactions must supply the Treasurer with the following:
• Audited Financial Statements
• Proof of National Association of Security Dealers certification • Completed broker/dealer questionnaire
• Certification of having read this investment policy

An annual review of the financial condition and registrations of qualified bidders will be conducted by the Treasurer. In addition, a current audited financial statement is required to be on file for each financial institution and broker/dealer in which the City conducts investment transactions.

The City shall also be open to contracting investment management services for a portion of the portfolio.

That portion shall be limited to longer term investments of two years or longer. Any investment management firm contracted shall meet criteria estab lished by the Treasurer. All investments made under contract will be purchased in the City's name and in accordance with the guidelines established by the City's investment policy.

8.0 Authorized and Suitable Investments

The City is empowered by statute to invest in the following types of securities . Any instrument not expressly permitted is prohibited. Specific limitations are provided on the maximum allowable percentage per investment category and further limitations by issuer within each investment category.

With the exception of insured and/or collateralized bank deposits, overnight repurchase agreements, U.S. Government securities, including its agencies and instrumentalities, and authorized pools, no more than 10% of the City’s aggregate investme nt portfolio may be invested in securities of a single issuer regardless of sector. Any percentage limitation for a particular category of investment is only applicable at the time of purchase.

A. Securities of the U.S. Government
Securities of the U.S. Government include U.S. Treasury bills, notes and bonds.

U.S. Treasury Bills - are issued by the U.S. Treasury and are available in maturities out to one year.

They are non -interest bearing and sold on a discount basis. The face amount is paid at maturity.

Treasury Notes - are issued by the U.S. Treasury with maturities from two to ten years. They are issued in coupon form and many issues are also available in registered form. Interest is payable at six month intervals until maturity.

Treasury Bonds - are issued by the U.S. Treasury with maturities of ten years to thirty years. The City may purchase the interest and/or principal of a U.S. Treasury Bond. A principal only instrument is commonly called a "stripped" or "zero" coupon. Stripped coupons are sold at a discount basis. The face amount is paid at maturity.

B. Securities of U.S. Government Agencies

The capital of U.S. government agencies was initially financed by the United States Treasury. As the agencies have grown and operated profitably over the years, the Treasury's investment has been replaced in a large measure by private capital. At the present time, obligations of only a few agencies are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. The obligations of all the federal agencies described in the following sections are not guaranteed by the U.S. Go vernment with the exception of Government National Mortgage Association, but are considered to be investments of the highest quality.

Federal National Mortgage Association - (Fannie Mae) Is a quasi- public corporation created by an act of Congress to assi st the home mortgage market by purchasing mortgages insured by the Federal Housing Administration and the Farmers Home Administration, as well as those guaranteed by the Veterans Administration. FNMA issues Notes and Bonds. Notes are issued with maturit ies of less than one year with interest paid at maturity. Bonds are issued for 15 and 30 year maturities with interest paid semi-annually. Interest is computed on a 30/360 day basis. There is a strong secondary market in these securities. A secondary market means these instruments are actively traded; they are bought and sold daily.
345
5 | P a g e

Government National Mortgage Association - (Ginnie Mae) is a wholly owned corporate instrumentality of the United States within the Department of Housing and Urban Developm ent. A certificate collateralized by FHA/VA residential mortgages represents a share in a pool of FHA or VA mortgages.

Ginnie Mae's are registered securities. Principal and interest are paid monthly and sent directly from the issuer of the pool, usually a mortgage banker, to the City. Original maturities range from 12 to 30 years with a 7 to 12 year assumed average life. (Assumed average life is due to prepayments of mortgages).

Federal Home Loan Banks - provide credit to member lending institutions such as savings and loan associations, cooperative banks, insurance companies and savings banks. The agency offers bonds in the public market with maturities of one year to ten years. These bonds are usual ly offered on a quarterly basis depending on the current demands of the housing industry. Interest is paid semi - annually on a 30/360 day basis.

Federal Farm Credit Banks - are debt instruments issued to meet the financial needs of farmers and the national agricultural industry. Discount notes are issued monthly with 6 and 9 month maturities.

Discount notes pay interest at maturity. Longer term debentures (2 -5 years) are also issued.

Debentures pay interest semi -annually on a 30/360 day basis. These is sues enjoy an established secondary market.

Small Business Administration Loans - (SBA) The Small Business Administration is an independent agency of the United States government which furnishes financial and management assistance to small businesses. The SBA guarantees the principal portion of the loans it approves. The City purchases the guaranteed portion of these loans. Maturity can be for 1 year to 30 years. These loans can be either set at a fixed rate or variable rate which is usually tied to the prime rate. Principal and interest are paid monthly on a 30/360 day basis.

Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation - (Freddie Macs) A publicly held government -sponsored enterprise created on July 24, 1970 pursuant to the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation Act, Title III of the Emergency Home Finance Act of 1970, as amended. Freddie Mac’s statutory mission is to provide stability in the secondary market for home mor tgages, to respond appropriately to the private capital market and to provide ongoing assistance to the secondary market for home mortgages by increasing the liquidity of mortgage investments and improving the distribution of investment capital available for home mortgage financing. Maturity can be for 1 year to 30 years. These loans can be either set at a fixed rate or variable rate.

Other U.S. government securities available to the City for investment purposes include: Student Loan Marketing Association (SLMA or Sallie Mae), Aid for International Development (AID), and debentures of Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA). However, these instruments are not offered on a regular basis and do not offer the same liquidity as the before mentioned instruments.

C. Securities of the State of California or Its Sub-Divisions

The State of California and its sub -divisions occasionally provide a good investment alternative, such as notes, bonds and other evidences of indebtedness. They are used to meet the financial needs of State, or other agencies of the State. These investments, during certain market conditions, can provide a higher yield even without the tax benefit that the private sector takes advantage of. The City will only purchase California securities with credit ratings of A or better by a nationally recognized rating agency; and with maturities of 5 years or less. Their interest is calculated on a 30/360 day basis like Agency bonds. Interest is paid semi-annually.

346
6 | P a g e

D. Time Deposits and Certificates of Deposit

Time Deposits are placed with commercial banks, savings association, or state or federal credit unions.

A time deposit is a receipt for funds deposited in a financial institution for a specified period of time at a specified rate of interest. Generally, the time is 3 months to 2 years. Denominations can be any agreed upon amount and interest is normally calculated using actual number of days o n a 360-day year and paid monthly. Deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) currently up to $250,000 per institution and Certificates of Deposit can be supported by either 110% U.S.

Government agency notes or 150% mortgages currently held by the bank or savings and loan. An institution must meet the following criteria to be considered by the City:
• The institution must maintain a net worth to asset ratio of at least 3% and a positive earnings record. • The institution must make available a current FDIC call report or FHLB report. A call report presents the solvency of the institution to the agency with oversight responsibility of that institution.

E. Negotiable Certificates of Deposit

Negotiable Certificates of Deposit are a form of Certificate of Deposit which have been an important money market instrument since 1961 when commercial banks began issuing them and a secondary market developed to provide liquidity. Since these certificates of deposit can be traded in the secondary market, they are negotiable instruments, hence their name negotiable certificate of deposit. They are supported only by the strength of the institution from which they are purchased. Interest is paid semi- annually computed on a 30/360 day basis. Maturities range from 3 months to 2 years. Negotiable Certificates of Deposit are generally issued in blocks of $1 million, $5 million, $10 million, etc.

The City will restrict its investments in Negotiable Certificates of Deposit to the 100 largest United States banks according to asset size. The profitability of the financial institution as well as its financial stability is also taken into account prior to placing the investment.

F. Banker's Acceptance Notes

A banker's acceptance (B.A.) is a unique credit instrument used to finance both domestic and international transactions. As a money market instrument, it is an attractive short -term investment.

When a bank "accepts" such a t ime draft, it becomes, in effect, a predated certified check payable to the bearer at some future, specified date. Little risk is involved because the commercial bank assumes primary liability once the draft is accepted. Banker's acceptances are frequent ly in odd amounts.

Maturities normally range from 30 up to 180 days. Banker's acceptances are sold at a discount. This means the face amount is received at maturity. The City will purchase Banker’s acceptances from only the 100 largest United States banks according to asset size. The profitability of the financial institution as well as its financial stability is also taken into account prior to placing the investment.

G. Commercial Paper

Commercial paper is the trade name applied to unsecured promissory notes issued by finance and industrial companies to raise funds on a short term basis. Commercial paper can be purchased on an interest bearing or discount basis. Interest bearing instruments pay interest semi-annually. Discounted instruments pay interest at maturity. The City will invest in commercial paper only if the paper attains the highest ranking or attains the highest letter and number rating as provided for by a nationally recognized statistical-rating organization (NRSRO). Maturities range from 30 to 180 days with interest computed on a 30/360 day basis.

347
7 | P a g e

H. Medium Term Notes

In recent years, this financing mechanism has grown, providing capital to the private sector, and diminishing the Negotiable Certificate of Deposit market. The trend towards medium term notes is related to buyer and seller flexibility and convenience. The notes are issued on any given date and maturing on a negotiated date. They generally range from 2 to 5 years in maturity. This market provides an excellent alternative to Negotiable C.D.'s. The City will only purchase Medium Term Notes with credit ratings of A or better by a nationally recognized rating agency; and with maturities of 5 years or less. Their interest is calculated on a 30/360 day basis like Agency bonds. Interest is paid semi - annually.

I. Local Agency Investment Fund

The Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) was established by the State to enable treasurers to place funds in a pool for investment. The LAIF has been particularly beneficial to those jurisdictions with small portfolios. Each agency is limited to an invest ment of $75.0 million per account. The City uses this fund for short term liquidity, investment , and yield when rates are declining. Funds are available on demand and interest is paid quarterly.

J. Repurchase Agreement

Closely associated with the f unctioning of the Federal funds market is the negotiation of repurchase agreements or repo’s . Banks may buy temporarily idle funds from a customer by selling U.S.

Government or other securities with the contractual agreement to repurchase the same security on a future date determined by negotiation. For the use of funds, the customer receives an interest payment from the bank; the interest rate reflects both the prevailing demand for Federal funds and the maturity of the repo. Repurchase Agreements are usually executed for $100,000 or more. The City will require physical delivery of the securities backing the repo to its safekeeping agent. The institution from which the City purchases a repo must transfer on an ongoing basis sufficient securities to compensate for changing market conditions and to insure that the market value of securities is valued at 102 percent or greater of the funds borrowed against those securities . Generally, maturities range from 1 to 90 days with interest paid at maturity , and may not exceed one year . A Master Repurchase Agreement is required.

K. Reverse Repurchase Agreements

Reverse Repurchase Agreements, on the other hand simply reverses the above process of purchasing repurchase agreements. The City, in effect, sells a particular security to a firm for a stated period of time, not to exceed 92 days. Interest is paid at maturity. The City pays the firm interest on the cash it receives while receiving the interest on original security. The City will in turn purchase a short term security at a higher rate of interest. Reverse repurchase agreements may also be use d to alleviate a temporary cash shortage. The City of Visalia will never utilize the reverse repurchase agreement in order to meet its cash needs. Reinvestment of reverse repurchases will be in securities of shorter or equal maturities to a reverse repurchase agreement. Reverse repurchase agreements cannot exceed 20% of the investment portfolio.

L. Money Market Mutual Funds

Money Market Mutual Funds are shares issued by diversified management companies who invest in the securities and obligations as authorized by subdivisions (a) to (j), inclusive, or subdivisions (m) or (n) of Government Code Section 53630 and comply with the investment restrictions of Article 2 (commencing with Section 53630 of the California Government Code ). To be eligible for investment 348
8 | P a g e

pursuant to this subdivision, these companies shall either: (1) attain the highest ranking or the highest letter and numerical rating provided by not less than two nationally recognized rating services, or (2) have an investment adviser registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission with not less than five year's experience investing in the securities and obligations as authorized by subdivisions (a) to (j), inclusive, or subdivisions (m) or (n) of Government Code section 53630, and with assets under management in excess of five hundred million dollars ($500,000,00 0). The purchase price of shares purchased pursuant to this subdivision shall not include any commission that these companies may charge and shall not exceed 20 percent of the investment portfolio.

M. Investment Pools other than LAIF

Managed Investment Pool’s pursuant to California Government Code Section 53601 (p) for which shares of beneficial interest issued by a joint powers authority organized pursuant to California Government Code Section 6509.7 that invests in the securities and obligations authorized in subdivisions (a) to (q), inclusive. Each share shall represent an equal proportional interest in the underlying pool of securities owned by the joint powers authority. To be eligible under this section, the joint powers authority issuing the shares shall have retained an investment adviser that meets all of the following criteria:

1. The advisor is registered or exempt from registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

2. The advisor has not less than five years of experience investing in the securities and obligations authorized in subdivisions (a) to (q), inclusive.

3. The advisor has assets under management in excess of five hundred million dollars ($500,000,000).

9.0 Other Investment Pools:

A thorough investigation of investment pools, as authorized by statute, shall be conducted prior to the City’s investment. Any pool shall provide the following:

• A description of eligible investment securities, and a written statement of i nvestment policy and objectives (i.e. are reserves, retained earnings, etc. utilized by the pool and is the pool eligible for bond proceeds and/or will it accept such proceeds)
• A description of interest calculations and distribution methods, and how gains and losses are treated • A description of how the securities are safeguarded (including the settlement processes), and how often securities are priced and the program audited
• A description of who may invest in the program
• A description of how deposits and withdrawals will be made, how often they are allowed and any minimum or maximum limitations
• A reporting schedule for receiving statements and portfolio activity • A fee schedule and method of assessment

10.0 Collateralization:

Collateralization will be required on two types of investments: certificates of deposit and repurchase (and reverse) agreements. Deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) currently up to $250,000 per institution and Certificates of Deposit can be supported by either 349
9 | P a g e

110% U.S. Government agency notes or 150% mortgages currently held by the bank or savings and loan.

11.0 Safekeeping and Custody:

Securities purchased with invested funds that are in a negotiable, bearer, registered, or nonregistered format, shall require delivery of all the securities to the City, including those purchased for the City by financial advisors, consultants, or managers using the City’s funds, by book entry, physical delivery, or by third party custodial agreement. The transfer of securities to the counterparty bank’s customer book entry account may be used for book-entry delivery.

To insure the safety and in ternal accounting controls necessary to establish a stable and accurate investment system, the City uses an investment confirmation document. This document is prepared by Treasury and approved by accounting personnel. Copies are also distributed to the Ci ty accounting department, Treasury investment file, and the institutions with which the order to transfer funds was placed (safekeeping). This transaction control document, or "Confirmation" form, contains information regarding the type of investment; amount invested; interest rate; purchase and maturity dates; and any delivery instructions. This confirmation is matched to the Broker's Confirmation and held in the Treasury's file until the security is sold or matures.

12.0 Diversification:

The City operates its investment pool with many State and self -imposed constraints. It does not buy stocks and it does not speculate. Currently Government Code Section 53600 (et seq) restricts the City portfolio to:

o 30% in Negotiable Certificates of Deposit o 40% in Bankers Acceptance Notes o 25% in Commercial Paper o 30% in Medium Term Notes o 20% in Money Market Mutual Funds o 20% in Repurchase Agreements

These restrictions primarily apply to short-term investments and are interpreted to apply at the time of investment. If, as the portfolio mix changes over time, a particular segment exceeds these restrictions the prudent investor rule shall apply.

The City will be selective in purchasing long -term negotiable certificates of deposit and medium term notes, placing such an investment only with a large stable institution.

13.0 Maximum Maturities

To the extent possible, the City will attempt to match its investments with anticipated cash flow requirements. The City will operate a portfolio with an average life of three years or less. This is to insure liquidity and the ability to move with changing markets and interest rates.

No investments shall be made in investments with maturities greater than five (5) years without specific Council approval not less than ninety days prior to the investment . Exception: Mortgage Backed Securities, such as Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) and Government National Mortgage Association (Ginnie Mae) which have maturities greater than five (5) years, and not to exceed 30 years may be purchased. While the final maturity on these investments is greater than five (5) years, 350
10 | P a g e

the return of principal and interest is received on a monthly basis (as mortgages ar e being paid, refinanced, and pre-paid), therefore minimizing the investment risk. At no point, will investments with maturities greater than five (5) years exceed 20% of the portfolio value.

14.0 Internal Control

To assure compliance with policies and procedures, the Treasurer, along with finance staff, shall form an investment committee. The committee will meet to review the investment portfolio and collectively establish investment goals and parameters for purchases. The committee will also collectively decide on investment purchases and sales of holdings.

15.0 Performance Standards

The investment portfolio shall be designed with the objective of obtaining a rate of return throughout budgetary and economic cycles, commensurate with the investment risk constraints and the cash flow needs.

15.1 Market Yield (Benchmark): The City’s investment strategy is passive. Passive investment portfolio management generally indicates that the Treasurer will purchase an instrument and hold it throug h maturity, and then reinvest the monies. Although the City’s investment strategy is passive, this will not restrict the Treasurer from evaluating when swaps are appropriate or if the sale of an instrument is prudent prior to final maturity. Given this s trategy, a series of appropriate benchmarks shall be established against which portfolio performance shall be compared on a regular basis. The benchmarks shall be reflective of the actual securities being purchased and risks undertaken and the benchmarks shall have a similar weighted average maturity as the portfolio.

16.0 Reporting

Quarterly, the Treasurer will issue a report for Council’s review of the City's current investment portfolio, detailing securities purchase and maturity date, face and market value, credit quality, and any reverse activities.

Periodically, the long-term investments will be reviewed in order to determine if it is advantageous to sell those securities and purchase others. The review will consider current market conditions and various spread relationships among security types. Additionally, a statement will be issued indicating the findings of the analysis. The monitoring of the conditions set forth in this policy statement is the responsibility of the Treasurer.

17.0 Investment Policy Adoption

The City’s investment policy shall be adopted by resolution. The policy shall be reviewed annually by the City Council and any modifications made thereto must be approved by them.

Agenda Item Wording:

Consideration of a Mural Application request from Habitat for Humanity of Tulare / Kings Counties for one mural proposed on the east and north-facing facades of the commercial building located at 637 S. Lovers Lane.

Deadline for Action: 6/20/2022
Submitting Department: Community Development
Contact Name and Phone Number:

Brandon Smith, Principal Planner, (559) 713-4636, [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> Paul Bernal, Community Development Director, (559) 713-4025, [email protected]
Department Recommendation:

Staff recommends, based on the recommendation of the Mural Panel, that this mural application for the proposed mural located at 637 South Lovers Lane be approved with the image proposed by the applicant (see Attachments 2a and 2b).

Background Discussion:

The City of Visalia received a mural application on May 2, 2022, from Habitat for Humanity of Tulare / Kings Counties for a mural to be painted on the north and east walls of the building located at 637 South Lovers Lane. The building is owned by Habitat for Humanity and contains the ReStore. The mural would be visible from Lovers Lane, and the north-facing wall which alerts traffic to the parking lot entrance would be visible to southbound traffic. The mural application (see Attachment 1), a rendering of the proposed mural recommended by the Mural Panel for approval (see Attachments 2a and 2b), and a location map and photo of the existing wall (see Attachments 3 and 4) are attached.

The objective of the mural is to refresh the building’s façade, which is currently painted in a predominantly white with colored blocks / bricks on the sides, and to help increase visibility of the building.

The proposed mural, measuring approximately 32 feet wide by 13 feet tall, is designed by Katy Kemalyan, an AmeriCorps Volunteer working with Habitat for Humanity and a former Kings Art Center art teacher. The mural itself will be installed by groups of experienced artist volunteers and general volunteers from the community. The east-facing mural looking toward Lovers Lane depicts a mixture of generally local and native flora (e.g., California poppies, Valley oak leaves, Indian blanket) intertwined with various home articles, gardening materials, and tools, all on a light blue background.

This façade also includes a painted sign for Habitat for Humanity that was separately reviewed and approved as a sign permit for the use of the building. The north-facing mural depicts a giant sequoia tree. The mural is intended to suggest a narrative of community building and recycling, and to present an artistically inspired image that portrays Habitat’s contribution to the community.

File #: 22-0240 Agenda Date: 6/20/2022 Agenda #: 12.

No words will be incorporated into the mural, as the painted sign at the top was previous reviewed and approved separately as a sign permit. Materials used for the project will consist of a blue prime and paint, with deigns transferred via grid drawings, and sealed with a clear Perma-guard sealant for protection.

Work on the mural is expected to begin upon receiving approval from the City Council. Habitat for Humanity is the owner of the building and subject site, and the mural will be maintained by the owner with assistance from the artist in the case of any major vandalization. As stated on the mural application, the artist is a former art teacher and has a resume of work that includes four self- designed and painted murals within Kings County along with approximately one dozen murals that she has assisted with.

Mural Agreement:

The City’sMural Guidelines requires that the property owner and applicant enter into an agreement that identifies the terms and conditions under which the mural will be applied. A draft of the mural agreement is attached to this report as Attachment 5, should the City Council elect to approve the mural application.

Staff Initial Review of Compliance with Mural Guidelines:

Habitat for Humanity initially consulted staff and submitted an application and rendering for the east façade of the building which strictly contained home articles, gardening tools, and building materials, together with the sign at the top of the façade (see Attachment 7). Staff indicated to the applicant that the mural appeared to conflict with the City’s adopted Guideline Nos. 2 and 3, which state:

2. Murals shall not contain copy, lettering, symbols or references directly to the promotion of any product, business, brand, organization, service, cause or place. Murals may contain limited commercial elements so long as they are not considered commercial speech with the purpose of promoting a commercial transaction. For those mural applications that may contain limited commercial elements, the Mural Panel will ask the question - “Ifthe business on which the mural is located were to move, would the mural still be good quality art and something the community would want to remain?” If so, the mural is not considered commercial speech or advertisement but rather pure art.

3. Murals shall not be merely an extension or enlargement of a sign. If the theme of the mural is to promote a business, brand, organization, service, cause or place, it shall meet all requirements of the City of Visalia sign ordinance.

Staff advised the applicant to proceed first with obtaining a sign permit for the lettering along, since it was purely a sign on its face and was desired by the applicant for site identification.

Staff further indicated that the mural, if desired by the applicant, would need to meet the application’s submittal requirement consisting of a 1:12 scale drawing. Staff was already convening a meeting of the Mural Panel to review an unrelated mural application and allowed for Habitat for Humanity’s application to be reviewed by the Mural Panel for preliminary comment.

Mural Panel Review:

In accordance with the City’s Mural Guidelines and Procedures, the Mural Panel consisting of a representative from the Arts Consortium (Ampelio Mejia Perez), Arts Visalia (Alison Schlick Miniaci), and a mayoral appointment (Walter Deissler) convened to review the application. The purpose of the Visalia City Council Printed on 6/17/2022Page 2 of 4
powered by Legistar™
361
File #: 22-0240 Agenda Date: 6/20/2022 Agenda #: 12.
and a mayoral appointment (Walter Deissler) convened to review the application. The purpose of the Mural Panel is to assure compliance with local ordinances and the mural guidelines, and to determine whether the artist has the ability to produce a quality piece of art. All members of the Mural Panel together with the applicant and artist met on June 1, 2022 to discuss the mural, followed by a meeting held on June 8, 2022 to review a revised mural rendering produced at 1:12 scale.

The Mural Panel reviewed the initial submittal (see Attachment 7) on June 1, along with some other concepts brought by the artist to the meeting. The Panel was favorable to the concept of the use of artwork and imagery on the façade, provided that the artwork itself would be a primary focus over the individual parts (i.e., objects) that composed the artwork. Following discussion between the Panel and the applicant, the applicant agreed to produce a 1:12 scale drawing with more detail, wherein the flora would comprise at least half of the rendering and would be interwoven through the image.

The Panel reconvened on June 8, 2022, to review the new image (attached as Exhibit 2) and voted to recommend that the City Council approve the mural. The Panel concluded that the mural was consistent with the City’sMural Guidelines and did not constitute an enlargement of a sign. The Panel determined that the mural represented good quality art and could remain on the building even if Habitat for Humanity were to move from the site. While the image contains images of ordinary household objects, they are not the focal point of the image and does not bear advertising copy towards Habitat for Humanity. The Panel noted that the mural evokes artistic depictions of Visalia’s heritage involving agriculture along with supporting a hard work and do-it-yourself ethic and commended its pleasing display of artwork.

Fiscal Impact:

No fiscal impact to the City. The applicant and artist are responsible for the installation, maintenance, and removal of the mural.

Prior Council Action:

No prior Council action related to mural proposals on this site.

Alternatives: None.

Recommended Motion (and Alternative Motions if expected):

I move to approve the mural application for a mural on the north and east façades of the building located at 637 South Lovers Lane as shown in Attachments 2a and 2b.

Environmental Assessment Status:

The mural is considered Categorically Exempt under Section 15311 of the Guidelines for the Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), as amended, due to the project being a placement of minor structure accessory to existing facilities including but not limited to signs.

CEQA Review:

The mural is considered Categorically Exempt under Section 15311 of the Guidelines for the Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), as amended, due to the project being a placement of minor structure accessory to existing facilities including but not limited to signs.

MURAL GUIDELINES AND PROCEDURES

INTRODUCTION:

Murals are considered signs and, as such, are governed by the City’s sign ordinance found in Chapter 17.48 of the Visalia Municipal Code (“VMC”). Murals require the issuance of a permit fro m the City pursuant to VMC §17.48.030. Murals which are non-commercial, contain no advertising copy and which do not function as an advertisement are allowed, subject to review by the Mural Panel and final approval by the City Council (VMC §17.48.040(S).). These guidelines are provided to assist mural applicants through the process prior to presentation to City Council.

PURPOSE: To define the process used by groups or individuals (“applicants”) who desire to install murals in Visalia public places. T he City of Visalia understands the importance of art in public places and the role that murals play in preserving our culture, conveying the history of our community, beautifying the city and advancing the arts. These guidelines will provide direction to applicants wishing to install murals in public places.

DEFINITIONS:

“Parks Commission” means the Visalia Parks and Recreation Commission which is responsible for City of Visalia Parks.

“Planning Commission” means that Visalia Planning Commission resp onsible for approving variances in the sign ordinance.

“Public places” means places within the City limits of Visalia, which are visible to the public.

“Commercial” means words or images used elsewhere in the marketplace for the purpose of promoting a particular business, product, service, cause, place or brand.

“Commercial Element” means art that by virtue of its location or proximity to a business may serve a minimal commercial purpose. If that art were in a different location, it would be considered pure art and not commercial in nature.

“Mural” means a sign as defined in VMC Chapter 17.48. It is also generally described as a picture or representation, in any type of medium, on an exterior surface of a building, structure, fence or garden wall.

“Mural Panel” means a group of individuals approved by the City Manager to review applications to place murals in public places prior to presentation to Council. Mural Panel will be comprised of one (1) representative from the Arts Consortium, one (1) representative from Arts Visalia, and one (1) representative appointed by the Mayor.

In all cases, the person appointed should have no involvement/conflict of interest with the mural under consideration. The representatives will be appointed by the Chair of these organizations and the Mayor upon the receipt of a Mural Application.

379
2 “Preliminary Approval” means the application has been accepted, found to be in good order and complete and the proposed mural is deemed appropriate by the mural panel.

GENERAL GUIDELINES:

1. The emphasis of the murals will be on “artistic expression” and m ust not include an advertisement or be commercial in nature. This will in no way limit or restrict the artist’s right to include speech and /or artistic expression in a mural that is not commercial as defined above . All murals must comply with City ordinances that prohibit indecency or obscenity in public.

2. Murals shall not contain copy, lettering, symbols or references directly to the promotion of any product, business, brand, organization, service, cause or place. Murals may contain limited commercial elements so long as they are not considered commercial speech with the purpose of promoting a commercial transaction. For those mural applications that may contain limited commercial elements, the Mural Panel will ask the question – “If the business on which the mural is located were to move, would the mural still be good quality art and something the community would want to remain? ” If so, the mural is not considered commercial speech or advertisement but rather pure art.

3. Murals shall not be merely an extension or enlargement of a sign. If the theme of the mural is to promote a business, brand, organization, service, cause or place, it shall meet all requirements of the City of Vi salia sign ordinance. If the proposed mural is determined to be commercial in nature and is therefore deemed by the Mural Panel to be a form of advertisement, the Mural Application will be referred to the City of Visalia Planning Department for a variance in the sign ordinance. That application will then follow their process for review and approval.

4. Not more than 1% of the mural will contain the name of a sponsor and/or sponsor product likeness. The artist’s signature shall not be more than 1% of the mural.

5. Temporary Murals will receive, as is reasonably practicable, expedited review by the Mural Panel. Temporary murals shall be required to comply with the provisions of these guidelines, and will be removed no later than one year after completed. After one year, if there is a desire for the mural to remain in place, the owner will resubmit a mural application and follow the standard process as outlined herein.

6. Mural artists will be required to demonstrate their ability and experience to create high qu ality, well design ed and well executed murals and/or art. The artist must provide the Mural Panel a portfolio of work that is reflective of the style of the proposed mural. This will be used to help determine whether the artist will be able to uphold the standards for quality art with in the City of Visalia. For those artists without a portfolio of work , the Mural Panel will consider other presented forms of art that demonstrate an ability to create a quality mural.

380
3 7. New murals erected without receiving p roper approval and that did not go through the Mural Application and Approval Process, will be required to retroactively go through the Process. Property owners will have 30 days after receiving notification to submit a mural application after which the m ural will be deemed a sign and subject to all permitting requirements of VMC 17.48. The retroactive mural applications will be required to comply wi th all Mural Guidelines and must receive City Council approval. Murals that fail to be approved will be removed within 30 days after the denial at the property owners expense.

APPLICATION AND APPROVAL PROCESS:

STEP 1: Muralist(s) must obtain an application from the Community Development Department office at 315 E. Acequia Ave. or online at www.visalia.city. The time required to process a mural application will vary but will be a maximum of 90 days from application submittal. The application will provide information to the City regarding location, size, concept and content of the mural, type of paint/medi a, owner of the building where the mural will be located, artist(s), dates of application, individuals who will be responsible for maintenance . The application must be signed by the individual/group proposing to place the mural, as well as the property owner where the mural will be placed and submitted to the City Manager or his/her designee along with a 1:12 scale [1”=1 ft. -0”] sketch, rendering or photo of the proposed mural.

STEP 2: The application and mural rendering must be reviewed and approved by the Mural Panel and the owner of the property where the mural is proposed to be placed. The review will be conducted to assure compliance with local ordinances and regulations, these guidelines, and the ability of the artist(s) proposing the mural to pro duce a quality mural. If the mural receives preliminary approval, it will move forward in the process.

Any mural that is to be installed in or on a community center or park, except Convention Center, must, in addition to review by the Mural Panel, be reviewed by the Parks Commission prior to submission to the Visalia City Council for final approval.

STEP 3: After receiving preliminary approval, the artist will then be required to provide for review their portfolio of work that is refle ctive of the prop osed mural. The Mural Panel will use the portfolio of work to help determine whether the artist has the technical skill and ability to produce a quality mural within the City of Visalia. If the artist is unable to provide a portfolio of work, at a minimum , the artist will be required to provide evidence of artistic talent that satisfies the Mural Panel as to the skill and ability of the artist to create a mural that is of good quality.

STEP 4: After review and acceptance of the artist’s body of work, the Mural Panel will make a recommendation to the City Council for appr oval of the mural application which is the final approval step.

381
4 MURAL AGREEMENT:

Following approval by the Mural Panel , whether the mural will be placed on public or private property, the property owner and applicant(s) will be required to provide to the City Manager, or his/her designee, evidence of a proposed agreement which identifies the terms and conditions under which the mural will be applied. These terms and conditions include, but are not limited to:

A. Specifications regarding the mural (location, size, concept and content of the mural, type of paint/media);
B. Application for Encroachment Permit if necessary;
C. Identification of ownership of the mural image and use thereof; D. Expected timeframe for completion;
E. Long term mural maintenance;
F. Circumstances under which the mural may be removed by the City and/or property owner (i.e. lack of maintenance or in disrepair);
G. Proof of Liability Insurance;
H. Landscape removal and replacement or protection, if any;

The proposed agreement will be provided to the Mural Panel and will be submitted to City Council along with the recommendation of the Mural Panel and, if necessary, the Park Commission.

APPEAL TO CITY COUNCIL:

In the event the Mural Panel and/or the Park Commission determines the proposed mural does not comply with the parameters of these guidelines or other City ordinances and regulations, and therefore determines to withhold its approval, applicant(s) may apply for a variance as au thorized by VMC section 17.48.040(P) and outlined in VMC section 17.48.110.

FINAL INSPECTION AND ACCEPTANCE:

The City reserves the right to inspect the mural during installation and upon completion to ensure that the final product is in compliance with the approved mural application. Should it be found that the mural is not in compliance, the artist and property owner will be notified and given 30 days to remedy the situation. Should the property owner and/or artist fail to make the necessary corrections, the mural will be deemed out of compliance and will be removed at the expense of the property owner and/or artist.

Department Recommendation:

Staff recommends that the City Council accept the recommendation of the Historic Preservation Advisory Committee (HPAC) and do the following:

1. Appoint Walter Deissler to the Committee for a second one-year term beginning July 1, 2022, and ending June 30, 2023. The request to only appoint Mr. Deissler for one year is a result of a disproportionate number of committee members with terms expiring in even years.

2. Appoint Jay Hohlbauch to the Committee for a second one-year term beginning July 1, 2022, and ending June 30, 2023. The request to only appoint Mr. Hohlbauch for one year is a result of a disproportionate number of committee members with terms expiring in even years. If approved for a one-year term, reappoints for HPAC committee members will revert back to a 4/3 split with a portion with terms expiring in odd years and a portion with terms expiring in even years.

3. Appoint Tyler Davis to the Committee for a second two-year term beginning July 1, 2022, and ending June 30, 2024.

4. Appoint Patricia Kane to the Committee for a third two-year term beginning July 1, 2022, and ending June 30, 2024.

5. Appoint Michael Kreps to the Committee for a third two-year term beginning July 1, 2022, and ending June 30, 2024.

Summary:

Staff and the Historic Preservation Advisory Committee (HPAC) request the City Council appoint Walter Deissler and Jay Hohlbauch to a second one-year term and appoint Tyler Davis to a second two-year term on the Committee and appoint Patricia Kane and Michael Kreps to a third two-year term on the Committee.

When preparing the staff report for HPAC reappointments, staff concluded that a disproportionate number of committee members (six HPAC members) will have terms expiring June 30, 2024, leaving only one member (Marilynn Mitchell) with her first term expiring June 3, 2023. As a result, staff is requesting at this time that two committee members, Walter Deissler and Jay Hohlbauch, be reappointed for a second one-year term. If approved, this will result in committee reappointments reverting back to a 4/3 split with four committee members having terms expire in even years while three committee members will have terms expiring in odd years.

The HPAC currently has a fully seated seven-member panel. The reappointment of all five members will allow the Committee to retain a quorum and continue to pursue its mission to protect historical resources in the City of Visalia.

Background Discussion:

The HPAC is a seven-member committee which administers the Historic Preservation Ordinance and encourages property owners to maintain the historic character of their properties. The Committee meets on the second and fourth Wednesdays of the month.

The HPAC currently operates with a fully seated Committee of seven active members. The HPAC is currently working on two major projects: a comprehensive update to the Local Register of Historic Structures, and a review of the Historic Preservation Ordinance for potential ordinance revisions.

Reappointment of all five members will ensure that the Committee retains sufficient membership to form a quorum and shepherd the two projects to completion. Reappointment also provides the Committee with sufficient membership to initiate new projects aimed at protecting historic resources.

Information about each of the candidates is provided below:
· Walter Deissler is an architect recently retired from working with In-N-Out Burger. He graduated from the University of Southern California in 1975 and has a keen interest in historic architecture and the preservation of historic places in the City of Visalia. Mr. Deissler has served on the HPAC since August 2020, acting as Chair of the Committee since July 2021. Mr.

Deissler also serves on the City of Visalia Mural Panel, the Tulare County HOPE Building Committee, and is the Vice-President of Visalia Heritage, a local historical group. Walter Deissler was previously involved in the restoration of the California Bungalow house located at 715 North Willis Street.
· Tyler Davis is an Account Manager with the Monrovia Nursery Company with an avid interest in historic preservation. He studied at the College of the Sequoias and obtained an associate degree in the field of Ornamental Horticulture. Mr. Davis also enjoys gardening and is the president of the Visalia Succulent Club. Mr. Davis has served on the HPAC since June 2021, acting as Vice-Chair for much of that time. Mr. Davis has also served on the Board of Trustees for the Sarah A. Mooney Museum in Lemoore and is a 20-year member of the National Trust of Historic Preservation. Mr. Davis maintains and resides in a historic home along the Encina Street corridor.
· Jay Hohlbauch has previously served four, two-year terms on the HPAC from July 2013 to Visalia City Council Printed on 6/17/2022Page 2 of 4

· Jay Hohlbauch has previously served four, two-year terms on the HPAC from July 2013 to June 2019, and June 2020 to June 2022. Mr. Hohlbauch currently works in the construction trade and has a wide breadth of knowledge in the care and maintenance of historic structures.

Coupled with his extensive experience serving as a member of the HPAC, Mr. Hohlbauch’s reappointment to the HPAC would be a boon for the Committee, as no other members currently work in construction. Mr. Hohlbauch is also a member of the HPAC Sub-Committee tasked with working with the Building Advisory Committee. · Patricia Kane is a retiree who previously worked doing consulting and technical writing for major financial institutions. Kane has served on the Committee since April 2018 and was previously the Committee Chair from November 2019 to August 2020. Ms. Kane has a deep interest in local history and has volunteered time to take on additional tasks for the Committee, including drafting correspondence to property owners and serving on the Certified Local Government Sub-Committee.
· Michael Kreps is an architect with a local office in Visalia who is well versed in public service.

Mr. Kreps has been a member of the HPAC since March 2019. Mr. Kreps serves on the board of Visalia Heritage as its President and volunteers his time with Arts Visalia. Mr. Kreps has also volunteered time to take on additional tasks for the Committee, serving as a member of the Sub-Committee tasked with working with the Building Advisory Committee.

The current membership of the HPAC is as follows:

1. Walter Deissler, Chair - 1st term

2. Tyler Davis, Vice-Chair - 1st term (partial)

If you are interested in serving on a committee or commission, please fill out the application included in this booklet.

Information about specific vacancies is published annually by the City. For further information or additional application forms contact the City Clerk’s Office, 220 N.

4 THE COMMITTEE AND COMMISSION’S ROLE,

AUTHORITY AND RESPONSIBILITIES

The role of city committees and commissions is to advise the City Council in the determination of city policies and procedures. Committees/commissions facilitate public participation.

City committees and commissions are not involved in the administration or operation of city departments.

Committee/commission members may not direct administrative staff to initiate programs.

Committees/commissions may not conduct major studies or establish official policy without the approval of the City Council. City staff members are available to provide general staff assistance to committees/commissions.

Despite committees/commissions differing tasks, all share some basic responsibilities. Members need to stay informed on subjects of interest to the specific committee or commission.

Appointment to a commission or committee is an honor. It provides an opportunity for genuine public service. Each commission or committee member should be aware of the responsibilities that go along with officially serving the community. The specific duties of each commission or committee vary with the purposes for which it was formed. There are, however, many responsibilities common to all members.

1. Understand the role and responsibility of the commission or committee on which you serve. Be informed of its functions, work programs and relationship with other commissions/committees.

2. Represent the overall public good, not the exclusive point of view of a single group or interest.

3. Keep all lines of communication open. Each member serves as a communication link between the community, the City Council and the staff.

4. Do your homework and be prepared. Commission and committee members should become familiar with items under consideration prior to meetings in order to be fully prepared to discuss, evaluate, and act on matters scheduled for consideration. Feel free to seek staff’s advice and assistance in advance of a meeting.

5. Establish a good working relationship with fellow members, the Council, and your staff representative.

6. Understand the scope and authority of your responsibility and strive to work within that scope.

7. Be a participant, an active representative and be enthusiastic.

8. Commission/committee members should not approve projects that violate adopted City policies.

These bodies make recommendations to the Council about exceptions to or recommendations to change existing policies when appropriate.

392
5 COMMITTEE AND COMMISSION GUIDELINES

Formation of a new Committee or Commission by the City Council

Unless otherwise stated by Council, a committee or commission shall be formed initially for a period of one year with time extended at the request of the committee/commission and concurrence of the Council.

After a one-year evaluation and if the committee/commission is to continue, the length of terms will be increased, and the expiration of terms will be staggered.

A newly formed committee or commission will be convened by the city staff representative, and each committee/commission will elect a chairperson, a vice-chairperson, and a secretary once the members feel sufficiently acquainted with each other.

A staff representative will be assigned by the City Manager to work with each committee/commission to prepare agendas, keep minutes and furnish assistance.

The size of commissions and committees may vary from 5 to 15 members and is set for each body by the City Council. A committee or commission may decide that it is in the best interest of the committee/commission to modify the number of its members and may recommend a change to the Citizens Advisory Committee. After the Citizens Advisory Committee receives a recommendation from the committee/commission along with reason(s), a recommendation to modify the number of members will be made to the City Council.

Each Committee or Commission should have a mission statement. Ex: “It is the mission of the Citizens Advisory Committee to act as a liaison between the general public and the City Council concerning community issues.”

Commissions are provided for in the City of Visalia’s Charter and the duties of the Commissions are contained in the City’s Municipal Code. The formation of a new Commission requires a Charter Amendment. Revision to Commission duties and responsibilities require an Ordinance change.

Appointment of Citizens to Committees/Commissions
All appointments and reappointments require formal action of the Council. Every committee/commission serves in an advisory capacity to the City Council.

Names to be considered for appointment will be recommended to the Council by the respective committee or commission. The Council may choose, however, to fill some positions in other manners as needed.

Persons in the community wanting to serve on an advisory committee/commission should submit their name and resume to the City Clerk’s Office (a standard application form is available and included in this handbook). The City Clerk will annually publish a notice of the process and procedure to be followed by individuals wanting to serve the City.

393
6 Applications will be kept on file for a period of two years. Applicants will be contacted one year after they file their application to ensure their continued interest in serving on a City committee or commission.

Eligibility

City advisory committees/commissions will reflect, to the extent possible, the community's geographic, ethnic, gender and age composition.

Appointees to committees/commissions should be 18 years of age or older, and live or work within the urban area of Visalia as defined by Visalia Unified School District’s boundary map. First consideration will be given to residents of the City of Visalia. Individuals under the age of 18 who indicate they are interested in participating are encouraged to attend meetings and participate as a member of the public.

Additional requirements may be applicable to a specific Committee or Commission.

No person should serve on more than one committee or commission at one time as a regular member or as an alternate. However, individuals with unique qualifications may be asked to serve on an additional committee/commission by the City Council.

Immediate family members may not concurrently serve on the same committee or commission; however, family members are encouraged to serve on different committees/commissions.

Employees of the City of Visalia may not serve on any committee/commission other than as a staff representative. Employees of companies who do business with the City of Visalia are encouraged to serve on committees/commissions other than those where the actions of the committee/commission may directly benefit the work of the member’s employer.

In accordance with Government Code Section 87200, planning commissioners are mandated to file Fair Political Practices Commission Form 700 Statement of Economic Interests upon assuming office, annually, and upon leaving office.

Government Code Section 53235 (AB 1234) requires that planning commissioners complete required ethics training within one year of assuming office and every two years thereafter.

Term Limits and Replacement Process
Term length for all members of Committees/Commissions is standardized to two-year terms. All terms begin on July 1st and end on June 30th.

Each committee member may serve three (3) two-year terms (for a total of six years). After serving for six years on a committee, a person must remain off for one year before reapplying to that same committee.

This does not prohibit the person from immediately applying to a different committee or commission.

Each commissioner (Planning and Parks and Recreation Commissions) may serve four (4) two-year terms (for a total of eight years). After serving for eight years on a commission, a person must remain off for one year before reapplying to that same commission. This does not prohibit the person from immediately applying to a different commission or committee.

394
7 Because member turnover may periodically cause some difficulty in obtaining a quorum, a member’s term may be temporarily extended for an additional six months by the committee.

Appropriate recognition will be made of services when a term is completed, and a member leaves a committee or commission. This recognition will be made by the committee/commission with the help of the staff representative.

Scheduled Vacancies: To comply with the Maddy Act, on or before December 31st of each year, the City Clerk’s Office publishes the Local Appointment List informing the public of all scheduled vacancies for the upcoming year. The list is posted on the City’s website, at all City Hall posting boards, and at the public library.

Resignations: Members resigning from a committee or commission should submit a letter of resignation to the Mayor, City Clerk and the secretary of their committee or commission.

Reappointments: When a member is eligible for another term, the committee/commission will present a recommendation to the City Council asking for reappointment of the member. Reappointments are not automatic; the City Council makes the final determination on all appointments and reappointments.

Unscheduled Vacancies: The public will be informed regarding all unscheduled vacancies within 20 days after the vacancy occurs and at least 10 days before the vacancy is filled. Postings of unscheduled vacancies will be made by the City Clerk’s office by posting the vacancy on the City’s website, on the City Hall posting boards, the public library, through a press release, and an announcement included in the Inside City Hall newsletter.

Filling Unscheduled Vacancies with Alternates: For committees/commissions with membership under 12, a maximum of two (2) alternates may be, but are not required to be, appointed to a committee/commission by the Council and designated as alternate 1 and alternate 2. For committees/commissions with memberships of 12 or more, a maximum of four (4) alternates may be appointed and designated alternates 1, 2, 3, 4.

Once appointed as an alternate, the advance process can occur automatically, without any further confirmation by the Council, unless the Council specifically asks for a position to be brought before them for consideration. When an unscheduled vacancy occurs, alternate 1 may automatically advance to the voting position, and alternate 2 will become alternate 1. If an alternate serves more than half of an unexpired term, it will be considered a full term. If a committee/commission prefers to recommend a different approach to filling unscheduled vacancies with alternates, Council approval must be obtained.

Alternates do not automatically advance to a voting position at the end of a member’s term. When a term ends, the alternates and all other applicants are to be considered for appointment to the committee/commission and recommended to the City Council for final appointment.

Attendance

395
8 Advisory body members are expected to attend meetings regularly. Conscientious attendance is a fundamental responsibility, as irregular attendance lessens one’s ability to study all aspects of items under consideration. It is important to notify staff of any absences for the purposes of determining a quorum.

Members are required to notify the staff liaison no later than 24 hours prior to any regular meeting of his/her intent not to attend said meeting.

Excessive absenteeism, which is defined to mean missing three consecutive regular meetings or four regular meetings in a 12-month period, shall constitute resignation of the member and the member shall be considered removed from the advisory body. In the event a meeting is cancelled because of a lack of quorum, the member(s) whose lack of attendance caused the cancellation will be counted, even though no meeting occurred.

Tardiness and early departure of more than 30 minutes in a meeting is considered an absence.

A Council sub-committee, comprised of the Mayor and Vice Mayor, may grant an exemption to the attendance policy or approve an extended leave of absence for members of City Committees/Commissions, based on individual circumstances.

The attendance policy becomes effective April 1, 2012, and April 2012 begins the first month in the 12- month attendance counting period.

Compensation

The members of the Planning Commission receive a $100 monthly stipend and paid conferences and training. Planning Commissioners do not receive city health benefits.

All other committee and commission members receive no compensation, stipend or benefits of any kind.

Actual and necessary expenditures incurred by members, while engaged in official commission or committee business, may be reimbursed to said members, provided such expenditures have been previously approved by the department head responsible for staffing the commission or committee.

Planning Commissioners and Parks and Recreation Commissioners will be provided business cards at the city’s expense at the request of the member. This is not available to committee members.

Removal

Commissioners and Committee members may be removed from office, upon the recommendation of any member of the City Council, and with the concurrence of a majority of the City Council, for breach of duty, for conduct unbecoming a public official of the city, for violation of the city’s code of ethics, or for any cause deemed warranted by a majority of the City Council.

Meeting Notices

Effective January 1, 2012, each Committee/Commission will provide notice of each meeting, including 396
9 special meetings, on the City’s web site. Committee/commission members, media representatives and any other interested persons who so requests will be notified in advance of time and place of each meeting. Meetings are open to the public and must follow the posting guidelines of the Brown Act.

The City Council is to receive all notices of meetings, agendas and minutes.

These guidelines may be waived or changed at the discretion of the Council. The Council has the discretion to make appointments outside of this stated policy. Statutory committees and commissions are separate from these guidelines to the degree required by State Law, City Charter or Ordinance Code. 397
10 ORGANIZATION

Regular Meetings

Regular meetings are held for most of the city’s committees and commissions. An exception would be committees that meet as needed or “on-call” or committees that convene on an occasional basis.

Agendas of all regular meetings must be posted for public review at least 72 hours prior to the meeting.

The official posting place of agendas is at City Hall West (707 W. Acequia), and the city’s web page www.visalia.city . Notices may also be posted at City Hall East (315 E. Acequia) or Administration (220 N.

Santa Fe)
Adjourned Regular Meetings

If for any reason the business to be considered at the regular meeting cannot be completed, the committee or commission may then adjourn to a specified time and location. A notice announcing the adjournment must be posted within twenty-four hours after the time of adjournment.

Special Meetings

If it is necessary to meet at a time or date that is not the regular meeting schedule, a Special Meeting may be called by the advisory body. A Special Meeting may also be called in order to discuss an important issue that needs to be addressed immediately. Notice of special meetings must be received by members and posted at City Hall and on the City’s web page at least 24 hours in advance of the meeting. Only the business set forth in the agenda may be considered at the meeting.

Agenda

At least 72 hours before a regular meeting, an agenda shall be publicly posted which specifies the time and location of the meeting and contains a brief general description of each item of business to be transacted or discussed at the meeting.

Minutes

Minutes of all meetings must be kept as a permanent record by the committee/commission’s staff representative. The minutes should be taken and prepared by the committee/commission’s secretary with the assistance of the staff representative. Written minutes, upon approval by the committee or commission, constitute the official record of its activities. Additions and correction of the minutes may be made only in public meetings, with the approval of the body, and not by the private request of individual members. Minutes are not verbatim but are instead, action minutes, which record the essence of the decision made and significant action taken.

398
11 Annual Reports

Each Committee and Commission shall submit an annual report to the City Council. The annual report should include the number of meetings held, approximate number of citizens attending, accomplishments for the year, goals for the next year, and any other significant areas of which the Council should be aware.

Parliamentary Procedure

In order for a commission/committee to meet, conduct business and take action, a quorum must be present. A quorum is generally defined as a majority (one more than half) of appointed members to the particular advisory body. Meetings of commission/committees are generally operated according to parliamentary procedure using Roberts Rules of Order as a guideline. Each body may establish additional rules, limit debate and eject unruly persons if necessary.

The use of Parliamentary Procedure…

➢ Promotes cooperation and harmony so that people can work together more effectively to accomplish their goals.
➢ Guarantees each individual an equal right to propose motions, speak, ask questions and vote. ➢ Protects the rights of minority points of view and gives the minority the same consideration and respect as those in the majority.
➢ Encourages the full and free discussion of every motion presented. ➢ Ensures that the meeting is fair and conducted in good faith.

Commission/committee action is taken by motion. Motions go through the following general steps:

1. The member making the motion asks to be recognized by the chair;

2. The member makes the motion… “I move…”;

3. Another member seconds the motion (if there is no second, the motion dies and is not voted upon);

4. The chairperson states the motion or if he is not clear asks the member making the motion to re-state the motion;

5. The chairperson asks if there is any discussion on the motion;

6. When the chairperson determines that there is no more discussion on the motion, the debate is closed;

7. The chairperson puts the motion to a vote.

The vote on a motion may take the form of “all in favor” so state, “all opposed” so state, which is called a commission/committee vote. If members prefer, the vote may take the form of a voice or roll call vote.

The Brown Act prohibits voting or taking action by secret ballot.

Appointment of Officers

Annually, each Committee/Commission shall elect a Chairperson, Vice Chairperson, and Secretary from their members. Commissions may have a staff person appointed as secretary.

399
12 Role of the Chairperson and Vice Chairperson

During meetings, the chairperson is responsible for overseeing the public debate in a manner that encourages input while facilitating the decision-making process.

The chairperson should limit the discussion and debate to the particular scope of responsibility of the group and should ensure that all individuals have the opportunity to speak. The chairperson should expedite the business of the commission/committee by making sure that the discussion does not go off- track or bog down on peripheral issues.

In the event that the chairperson is not present at the meeting, the meeting will be chaired by the vice- chairperson and all duties of the chairperson will transfer to the vice-chair during the chairperson’s absence.

Role of the Secretary

The secretary is responsible for recording the actions at the meeting and keeping the attendance record of the advisory body. A staff person may assist with this duty, if needed. The secretary should prepare the action minutes as soon after the meeting as possible and review them with the staff person prior to submitting to the committee for approval. The staff person is the “keeper” of the committee’s agendas, action minutes and attendance records.

Role of the Members

The committee/commission members serve as the “workers” by providing ideas, suggestions, and perspectives that may not have been considered by the City Council, chairperson and staff.

Role of the Alternate
Alternates are not regular members of the committee or commission, and while encouraged to attend, they are not voting members and should not be accorded the same rights and privileges as voting members.

Role of the Staff Representative

The City Manager appoints staff representatives to serve each of the committees and commissions. The staff representative provides information, support services and facilitates communication between the committee, the City Council and city management.

The duties of the staff representative shall include:

1. Reserve and prepare a meeting location that is available to the general public and accessible to the handicapped throughout the entire meeting.

400
13 2. Secure the location when the meeting is completed.

3. Assure that the committee/commission maintains the established meeting schedule.

4. Monitor the committee/commission membership and assist members in filling open positions, notifying the City Clerk’s Office promptly when an unscheduled vacancy occurs and when an alternate is promoted to regular member status.

5. Act as a resource for questions or inquiries generated by members of the committee or commission.

6. Act as liaison between the committee/commission and the City of Visalia.

7. Make proper meeting notifications, in accordance with the Brown Act, and make certain that all meetings are conducted in accordance with all laws.

8. Make certain that all documents related to the committee/commission are current and reflect the present operational status of the committee or commission.

9. Assist the Secretary in preparation of the action minutes; the staff person is the official “keeper” of the agendas, back-up materials, and action minutes

10. Oversee preparation and presentation of the required year-end summary to the City Council.

11. Perform other duties as assigned by the City Manager, Department Head or City Council.

12. Maintain a list of terms of the committee/commission members. 401
14 GUIDELINES FOR RELATIONS WITH OTHERS

Relations with Fellow Commission/Committee Members

Cooperation among fellow commission/committee members plays an important role in the successful efforts of these groups. In order to build consensus around common goals and objectives, members should first show a willingness to objectively define the issues at hand and then work to reconcile opposing viewpoints. When commissioners/committee members interact positively, the group as a whole will be more effective. Important points to keep in mind in working with other commission/committee members:

1. Respect an individual’s viewpoint even though it may be different from your own;

2. Allow other members adequate time to present their view before making comments;

3. Be open and honest;

4. Welcome new commission/committee members and help them become acquainted with the commission/committee.

5. Accept responsibility, voice opinions and be fair and factual.

Relations with Council

The primary responsibility of commissions/committees is to advise and make recommendations to the Council. It is the Council’s role to absorb the advice and recommendations offered by numerous sources and to make decisions to the best of its ability. Because the Council is in such a position to see the broader context and is aware of other concerns, it may not always follow the recommendation offered by individual commissions/committees.

Relations with Staff

The staff representative’s role is valuable to the success of the commission/committee. They do research and provide relevant information that enhances a commission/committee’s ability to get things done. Staff is available to answer questions and follow-up on items brought before the commission/committee.

However, members should be aware that the staff representatives are there as liaisons, assisting the members of the commission/committee by gathering information when needed or requested, submitting recommendations of the commission/committee to the Council, etc. Staff representatives must sustain a balance between their role as a liaison and as a city employee. Commission/committee members must be sensitive to the unique and vital relationships that staff representatives must maintain.

Relations with Media and Public Statements
Commissioners and Committee members should not make public statements as a spokesperson for the City of Visalia or of their particular committee/commission. Any statement made reflects the opinion of that particular member only. Any inquiries regarding city committees or commission matters should be referred to the staff representative and/or the Community Relations Manager. 402

Voting members are expected to attend the meetings on a regular basis, and to notify their alternate, and the TCAG Executive Director, in a timely manner if they are not able to attend. For at least the next few months, participating via zoom is an option, but may not always be an option for a voting member. Meeting dates and times vary periodically, and there can be an annual retreat, special meetings or opportunities to travel representing TCAG.

The Tulare County Council of Cities (COC) put out a call for nominations to fill an unexpired term that will end July 1, 2023. This is a three-year term, with a year left on the current term. All cities in the County were provided the opportunity to nominate an elected official for this position. The following elected official nominations were received (listed in alphabetical order as prescribed by the attached appointment process adopted as amended in 2018):

3. The City Managers will notify the designated Council of Cities representative by a date specific if they have a Council Members who wishes to be considered for the position.

4. If only one Council person expresses interest by the date specified, that name will be forwarded to the Tulare County Association of Governments as the representative. A request will go out to the cities for an alternate, to be filled through the same process.

5. If more than one Council person expresses interest, a Council of Cities staff representative will assemble the names, and draft a sample report with the names listed in alphabetical order by last name, including timelines, that each City can work from in selecting a nominee.

6. Each City will put the item on a Council agenda, and each City Council will select a nominee. The candidate that garners the most votes will be forwarded to the TCAG Board as the representative. If the nomination process results in a tie, those names involved in the tie will be forwarded to the Council of Cities for a final decision.

7. If there is a tie that goes to the Council of Cities, and the vote at the Council of Cities also results in a tie, then the Council of Cities will hold a second ballot on the same day.

Agenda Item Wording:

Authorize the City Manager to extend the emergency contract for Engineering Plan Review and Related Services to lnterwest Consulting Group, not to exceed $200,000, for one year ending June 30, 2023.

Deadline for Action: 6/20/2022

Contact Name and Phone Number:

Jason Huckleberry, Community Development Assistant Director, [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>, (559)713-4495
Paul Bernal, Community Development Assistant Director, [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>, (559)713-4025
Department Recommendation:

Staff recommends that Council Authorize the City Manager to extend the emergency contract for Engineering Plan Review and Related Services to lnterwest Consulting Group for one year (ending June 30, 2023) to facilitate City staff with professional land surveyor related document review and approvals due to the current vacancy with the City’s Land Surveyor position at a not-to-exceed maximum of $200,000.

Summary:

The Community Development Engineering Division is seeking to extend the emergency contract with lnterwest Consulting Group for one year. The current emergency contract expires June 30, 2022. If approved for an additional one year, the emergency contract will expire June 30, 2023. As a result of the current vacancy with the City’sLand Surveyor position, the emergency contract with lnterwest Consulting Group has facilitated both the Engineering Development Services Division and Planning Division by providing the ability for a contracted licensed surveyor to review and sign on subdivision maps and parcel maps, as well as the technical review of easements, grant deeds, and lot line adjustments submitted to the City. It is difficult to anticipate the actual amount that may be expended since it’sunknown how many companies may request third part review, and because City Staff is not certain how long the Surveyor services will be needed until the internal position is filled. However, staff believes that $200,000 is a high estimate.

Background Discussion:

Community Development staff has made significant progress in eliminating the backlog for both building permit review and review of final subdivision / parcel map processing due to staffing levels and enhancements in our review processes. However, due to the vacancy with the City’s Land Surveyor position, staff has had to rely on the emergency contract to have Interwest Consulting Group’slicensed Land Surveyor sign on subdivision maps and parcel maps, while also providing technical assistance and review on other related matters including legal descriptions, easement Visalia City Council Printed on 6/17/2022Page 1 of 3

413
File #: 22-0248 Agenda Date: 6/20/2022 Agenda #: 15.
technical assistance and review on other related matters including legal descriptions, easement documents, and public right-of-way dedications.

The emergency contract has allowed Community Development staff to continue to process maps, lot line adjustments, easement abandonments, right-of-way dedications etc., in a timely manner without causing significant delays in these processes. Extending the emergency contract will continue to be beneficial to both the Community Development Department and the development community.

Both the Director and Assistant Director of the Community Development Department will continue to monitor review timelines to ensure that maps and other request do not fall behind per state mandated review timelines. The extension of the emergency contract will allow the division to continue to process maps and other documents in a timely manner, as well as provide the required Professional Land Surveyor technical review and approval of such documents.

Fiscal Impact:

The City will not increase or modify our development fee schedule for the services provided by lnterwest Consulting Group. The City's current fee collection structure was established as non- recuperative for services rendered and does not fully offset the cost associated with staff review time spent on development projects and is subsidized by the general fund. The City established and maintains the fee structure to lessen the burden on developers and promote development in the City of Visalia. The City is required to provide the service as noted in the report. The additional cost required for the emergency contract services will not be passed onto the public as these services are required to be provided by the City.

Prior Council Action:

On October 19, 2020, the City Council authorized the City Manager to execute a one-year emergency contract with lnterwest Consulting Group for Engineering Plan Review and Related Services.

On December 20, 2021, the City Council authorized the City Manager to extend the emergency contract for Engineering Plan Review and Related Service for six months ending June 30, 2022.

Other: N/A
Alternatives:

The City Council can choose to not approve the request to extend the emergency contract for one year.

Recommended Motion (and Alternative Motions if expected):

I move to approve the authorization of the City Manager to extend the emergency contract for Engineering Plan Review and Related Services to lnterwest Consulting Group for one year, ending June 30, 2023 at a not-to-exceed maximum of $200,000.

File #: 22-0250 Agenda Date: 6/20/2022 Agenda #: 16.

Adopt the revised salary schedule for full-time employees, City Manager, and City Council members of the City of Visalia Deadline for Action: 6/20/2022
Submitting Department: Administration
Contact Name and Phone Number: Diane Davis, 713-4575
Department Recommendation:

Adopt the revised salary schedule for full-time employees, City Manager, and City Council members of the City of Visalia.

Background Discussion:

CalPERS requires salary schedules be duly approved and adopted by the employer’s governing body in accordance with requirements of applicable public meeting laws. The City Manager and City Council salaries must also be included in the publicly available salary schedule.

The attached revised salary schedule reflects the following changes:

Ø An 8% salary increase for all full-time employees and the City Manager as authorized in previous Council action on June 6, 2022.

Ø Any City Manager approved classification changes made throughout the 2021/2022 fiscal year due to the addition or reclassification of positions.

No changes have been made to City Council salaries at this time. City Council salaries and the formula for salary increases are set by Municipal Code and are only modified at the beginning of a new term of office. City Council salaries were last modified in November 2020 for those newly elected Council members.

Staff requests Council adoption of this document effective for fiscal year 2022/2023.

Fiscal Impact:

There is no further fiscal impact associated with adopting this document.

Department Recommendation:

That the City Council adopt Resolution 2022-42 establishing the appropriations limit for the 2022-23 fiscal year in the amount of $199,910,765 for the General Fund.

Background Discussion:

Annually Council is required by the State to approve the appropriation limit for the City of Visalia. The Appropriation Limitation imposed by Propositions 4 and 111 creates a restriction on the amount of tax revenue which can be appropriated in any fiscal year. The limit is based on actual appropriations during the 1978-79 fiscal year and is increased each year by a factor comprised of the change in population combined with the change in California per capita personal income.

The General Fund is the only fund subject to the appropriation limit mandated by the State of California. Any challenge to the appropriations limit must be brought within 45 days from the effective date of the resolution.

The State of California provides the population and California per capita personal income change data for local jurisdictions to calculate their appropriations limit. Based on the following data received from the Department of Finance, a population change of 0.57% and per capita income change of 7.55%, the appropriations limit for Visalia is $199,910,765. The total General Fund appropriation subject to limitation for the fiscal year 22-23 is $83,730,400 which is well under the appropriations limit as shown in Table 1, Gann Appropriations Limit.

RESOLUTION NO. 2022-42

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF VISALIA ESTABLISHING THE 2022-23 APPROPRIATIONS LIMIT

WHEREAS, in 1979, California voters approved Proposition 4 (Article XIII-B of the California State Constitution). Informally known as the “Gann Initiative,” Article XIII-B provides limits to the amount of tax proceeds state and local governments can spend each year.

WHEREAS, in 1980, the State Legislature added Section 9710 of the Government Code stating that the governing body of each City must establish, by resolution, an appropriations limit for the following year. The limit for any fiscal year is equal to the previous year’s limit, adjusted for population changes and the change in the U.S. Consumer Price Index (or California per capita personal income, if smaller). The necessary statistical information is provided by the California Department of Finance.

WHEREAS, Proposition 111 modified Article XIII-B. A City may choose which annual adjustments to use. The adjustment factors include the growth in the California Per Capita Income, or the growth in the non-residential assessed valuation due to construction within the City and the population growth within the City or county.

AND IT FURTHER provided for the 2022-23 fiscal year, any challenge to the appropriations limit must be brought within 45 days from the effective date of the resolution.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the appropriations limit as defined by Propositions 4 and 111 is set at $199,910,765 for 2022-23 fiscal using a percentage change growth factor of 0.57% and change in per capita income of 7.55% as established by the California Department of Finance.

Dear Fiscal Officer:

Subject: Pric e Factor and Population Information
Appropriations Limit
California Revenue and Taxation Code section 2227 requires the Department of Finance to transmit an estimate of the percentage change in population to local governments. Each local jurisdiction must use their percentage change in population factor for January 1, 2022, in conjunction with a change in the cost of living, or price factor, to calculate their appropriations limit for fiscal year 2022-23. Attachment A provides the change in California’s per capita personal income and an example for utilizing the price factor and population percentage change factor to calculate the 2022-23 appropriations limit. Attachment B provides the city and unincorporated county population percentage change. Attachment C provides the population percentage change for counties and their summed incorporated areas. The population percentage change data excludes federal and state institutionalized populations and military populations.

Population Percent Change for Special Districts
Some special districts must establish an annual appropriations limit. California Revenue and Taxation Code section 2228 provides additional information regarding the appropriations limit.

Article XIII B, section 9(C) of the California Constitution exempts certain special districts from the appropriations limit calculation mandate. The code section and the California Constitution can be accessed at the following website
Special districts required by law to calculate their appropriations limit must present the calculation as part of their annual audit. Any questions special districts have on this requirement should be directed to their county, district legal counsel, or the law itself. No state agency reviews the local appropriations limits.

Population Certification
The population certification program applies only to cities and counties. California Revenue and Taxation Code section 11005.6 mandates Finance to automatically certify any population estimate that exceeds the current certified population with the State Controller’s Office. Finance will certify the higher estimate to the State Controller by June 1, 2022.

Please Note: The prior year’s city population estimates may be revised. The per capita personal income change is based on historical data.

If you have any questions regarding this data, please contact the Demographic Research Unit at (916) 323-4086.

Attachment A
A. Price Factor: Article XIII B specifies that local jurisdictions select their cost of living factor to compute their appropriation limit by a vote of their governing body. The cost of living factor provided here is per capita personal income. If the percentage change in per capita personal income is selected, the percentage change to be used in setting the fiscal year 2022-23 appropriation limit is:

Per Capita Personal Income
Fiscal Year Percentage change
(FY) over prior year
2022-23 7.55
B. Following is an example using sample population change and the change in California per capita personal income as growth factors in computing a 2022-23 appropriation limit.
2022-23:

Per Capita Cost of Living Change = 7.55 percent
Population Change = -0.30 percent
Per Capita Cost of Living converted to a ratio: 7.55 + 100 = 1.0755 100
Population converted to a ratio: -0.30 + 100 = 0.997
100
Calculation of factor for FY 2022-23: 1.0755 x 0.997 = 1.0723 438

Staff Report
Visalia City Council
707 W. Acequia
Visalia, CA 93291
File #: 22-0254 Agenda Date: 6/20/2022 Agenda #: 18.

Agenda Item Wording:

Reappointment of Lisa Walsh to a two-year term and authorization to open recruitment for one vacant position on the Parks and Recreation Commission.

Deadline for Action: 6/30/2021
Submitting Department: Community Services
Contact Name and Phone Number: Laurissa Roggenkamp, Recreation Manager 713-4336 Department Recommendation:

It is recommended that City Council provide direction to staff regarding filling the upcoming positions on the Parks and Recreation Commission. The options include:

1. Reappoint Commissioner Lisa Walsh to serve a second two-year term beginning July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2024 and open recruitment for one vacant position on the commission.

2. Recruit for both positions
Given that the remaining three Commissioners have less one year of experience on the Commission, and Commissioner Walsh has been a consistent and involved member, staff is recommending that she be appointed. Her history and stability on the Commission will be helpful as a fairly new Commission acclimates to the workings of the Commission.

Background Discussion:

The City of Visalia’sCharter enables City Council to appointment five commission members to serve on the Parks and Recreation Commission. The commission is to act in an advisory capacity to Council and City Manager in all matters pertaining to parks, playgrounds, and recreation centers.

The City’s Committee and Commission Guidelines provides information pertaining to the appointment, eligibility, term limits, and replacement process. Each Parks and Recreation Commissioner may serve four (4) two-year terms, for a total of eight years. Each term length has a standardized term to begin on July 1st and end on June 30th. When a member is eligible for another term a request for recommendation will be presented to City Council for the reappointment.

There will be one vacancy on the Parks and Recreation Commission due to Steven Woods completing his current term on June 30, 2022 and becoming ineligible for reappointment due to relocating to another community later this year. Staff is requesting that to fill this vacancy City Council open recruitment, host interviews, and make an appointment to the commission. Until City Council can make the appointment of a new Commissioner, the City’s Committees and Commissions Guidelines provides a provision allowing a current member of a commission to have their term be temporarily extended for up to an additional six months by the Commission.

has indicated that he will continue to remain on the Commission until his seat is filled.

Commissioner Walsh is currently the Vice-Chair, prior to her appointment onto the Commission in July 2020, she served as an Alternate Commissioner starting in July 2017. Attached is Commissioner Walsh’s June 2020 application for review. Lisa Walsh has served one term of two years on the Commission and has requested to serve a second term. Commissioners can serve a total of four terms or 8 years.

Fiscal Impact:

None, per City Charter Commissioners are not compensated for their service.

Prior Council Action:
06/15/2020 City Council appointed Lisa Walsh to the Parks and Recreation Commission. 06/21/2021 City Council appointed three commissioners: Edgardo Monroy, Samantha Wagner, and Veronica Barajas.

Other: N/A
Alternatives: To not reappoint Commissioner Walsh and open recruitment, host interviews and make appointments for two positions.

Recommended Motion (and Alternative Motions if expected):

Move to reappoint Lisa Walsh to a second two-year term on the Parks and Recreation Commission and to open recruitment for one vacancy position on the commission.

Agenda Item Wording:

Conduct the second public hearing and approve the proposed Fiscal Years 2022/23 & 2023/24 Measure N budget.

Deadline for Action: 6/30/2022
Submitting Department: Finance and Technology Services
Contact Name and Phone Number: Renee Nagel Finance and Technology Director 713-4375, Amee Swearingen Financial Analyst 713-4170
Department Recommendation:

That the City Council conduct the second public hearing to receive comment on the proposed Measure N budgets for FY 2022/23 and 2023/24. Following the public hearing, staff recommends that Council approve the proposed budgets that will then be adopted with the City Budget.

Background Discussion:

In November of 2016, the voters of Visalia passed a ½ cent Sales Tax Override, Measure N - The Visalia Essential City Services Measure. Sales Tax from Measure N will provide for essential city services such as police and fire, as well as maintenance of parks and roads. The measure uses a detailed, 10 year plan which includes hiring of personnel, construction of capital projects and equipment purchases.

As part of the measure, Council adopted an Accountability Ordinance (Ordinance 16-21) to establish accountability measures as outlined:

Revenues:
· 10% of budgeted revenues must be deposited in an Uncertainty Fund. Money can only be accessed during a fiscal emergency;
· 10% of budgeted revenues must be deposited into the following categories:
o 2% Youth Programs
o 8% Maintenance and Emerging Needs
Expenditures:
· Money shall not be used for debt service payments;
· Annual expenditure plan must be approved by Council after the following has occurred:
o City Manager makes a recommendation to City Council and makes changes as requested (tonight’s discussion);
o Comments and recommendation received by Sales Tax Oversite Board; o Two public Hearings are held at regular Council Meetings to consider expenditure plan Visalia City Council Printed on 6/17/2022Page 1 of 5

The Measure N Budget requires two public hearings and has to be adopted by June 30, 2022 to be able to spend in FY 2022/23. In order to meet this timeline, staff presents the Measure N budget separately from the Citywide budget. The proposed Measure N budget for FY 2022/23 and 2023/24 was reviewed with Council on May 2, 2022. The Measure N Oversight Committee reviewed the proposed budget on May 19, 2022 and unanimously approved the recommended budget. The first public hearing was held on June 6,2022.
2022/23 & 2023/24 Proposed Budget
The budget includes the amended expenditure plan that includes changes over the past 6 years, as shown in Table 1, 2022/23 Proposed Measure N Amended Plan (Year 6). The recommended budget for the 2022/23 budget is $13.8 million. The budget includes $1.5 million in the Remaining Emerging Needs category. This amount doesn’tinclude prior years monies that have been accumulating since the plan started. These funds will be brought back to Council and the Oversite Committee once a policy and/or plan has been established, which will occur following the completion of this budget process.

In FY 2022/23, the plan adds 1 professional staff position and 1 Police Officer. The professional staff Visalia City Council Printed on 6/17/2022Page 2 of 5

File #: 22-0251 Agenda Date: 6/20/2022 Agenda #: 1.

In FY 2022/23, the plan adds 1 professional staff position and 1 Police Officer. The professional staff position will be an additional Communications Operator in the Police Department. In addition, staff recommends amending the Measure N Plan to include an additional professional staff person. This position will be a Media & Community Relations Coordinator for the Police Department. These duties are currently being performed by a Sergeant and a Community Outreach Coordinator. With the increasing media outlets and demand for information, it has become difficult for the Department to keep up with the demand along with the other sworn duties that are assigned. The plan for FY 2023/24 will be adding 1 Police Officer and zero professional staff.

The recommended budget for FY 2023/24 is $14.6 million as shown in Table 2, 2023/24 Proposed Measure N Amended Plan (Year 7).

Both years does not include funding for building maintenance as per the plan. However, the building Visalia City Council Printed on 6/17/2022Page 3 of 5

File #: 22-0251 Agenda Date: 6/20/2022 Agenda #: 1.

Both years does not include funding for building maintenance as per the plan. However, the building maintenance capital project is projected to have a large balance of $1.7 million at the end of this fiscal year. This balance will be used over the next two years. Staff will request in the next budget to amend the plan and appropriate additional funds.

Measure N Sales Tax
The original Measure N plan was established in FY 15/16 which used a lower base line and a conservative growth to offset rising cost. Table 3 Measure N Sales Tax Projection shows the Sales tax coming in higher than the plan each year. The increase for the last two fiscal years is higher than normal with an increase of 18% and a projected 12% for this fiscal year. This higher-than-normal growth is due to the COVID Stay-at-home order which ended June 2021. During this time, most people spent their money on taxable goods instead of nontaxable items, such as travel and entertainment, as well as receiving multiple rounds of stimulus money. Staff is projecting the sales tax growth to continue over the next two years but at a much smaller percentage. The projected growth for FY 2022/23 & 2023/24 is 2% annually. This is a conservative number, however, could be realistic as this number builds upon the last two fiscal years that had higher than normal growth.

In order to meet the requirements and to be able to track revenues and expenditures, per these categories, Measure N is tracked in 4 separate funds. This also allows each category to earn its own interest. It is important to have cash available in each category to be able to advance projects in the plan (if needed) and/or cover higher costs than what was outlined in the plan. The essentials services fund has a large projected cash balance, however there are several current projects that will need additional funds such as Fire Station 56 & 51. Table 4 - Measure N Fund Balance Summary, shows each funds ending cash for both years based on the proposed 2 year budget.

Agenda Item Wording:

Annual Recertification of the Measure T (Sales Tax) Plan for FY 2022/23.

Deadline for Action: 6/30/2021
Submitting Department: Finance and Technology Services
Contact Name and Phone Number: Renee Nagel, Finance & Technology Director 713-4375, Amee Swearingen, Financial Analyst 713-4170
Department Recommendation:

It is recommended that the Council recertify the Measure T expenditure plan for the new budget year July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2023 (FY 2022/23) as required per the plan.

Background Discussion:

In 2004, City of Visalia voters approved a measure to increase sales tax by ¼ cent. This was known as Measure T and the sales tax revenues generated by the voter-approved measure are earmarked for public safety. The sales tax is shared 60% police and 40% fire. Thus, the City maintains two funds: Measure T - Fire and Measure T - Police. The measure uses a detailed, 20- year plan which includes hiring of personnel, construction of capital projects, and equipment purchases. The plan requires each fund to have an economic uncertainty fund of 25% of sales tax revenues collected. This is to be used if revenues do not cover expenditures. However, the plan elements should be funded before the economic uncertainty fund is fully funded. Annually the plan is required to get recertified by Council. For the recertification, staff brings all the completed elements and a projection of both the funds revenues and expenditures.

Plan elements implemented to date are as follows:
· 2 Police substations completed;
· 23 Police Officers hired and vehicles purchased (reduced from 28 due to revenue shortfalls and as directed by the City Council at their June 20, 2011 meeting); · 13 Firefighters hired;
· Administrative Captain position and 1 Battalion Chief position added; · Fire Stations 53, 55, and Training Facility completed; · New Fire Engine purchased;
· New Fire Ladder Truck purchased;
· Contributed towards the Visalia Emergency Communication Center In addition, the plan requires both police and fire portions of the funds to contribute towards the Visalia City Council Printed on 6/17/2022Page 1 of 6

future construction of a Public Safety building.

It is important to remember that the original Measure T plan was not balanced from its inception and included a structural deficit. The original Measure T plan was adopted with a deficit after the first 20 years. The plan anticipated that the solution for the deficit would be funded by 1) greater than expected revenues, 2) less than expected costs; or 3) addition General Fund revenues. In reality, Measure T had several years of revenues being lower than the plan and higher expenditures due to increased personnel costs (PERS and health), construction, and vehicle costs. In addition, the General Fund has had limited available resources due to the same increased costs.

To keep the Measure T funds from going negative, the City has taken several remedial actions over the years, specifically :
· Reduced Police Officer allocations by 6 (3 through attrition & 3 transferred to the General Fund). In July 2013, an officer was added back. The current number of officers funded by Measure T is 23 - reduced from 28;
· Reduced hiring of firefighters from 18 to 15;
· Declared fiscal emergency for fiscal years 09/10, 10/11, 11/12, 12/13; · Reduced funding contribution towards the VECC building. General Fund is covering a portion of Measure T’s share;
· Moved 1 Administrative Captain and 1 Battalion Chief to Measure N funding; · Transferred $150,000 from General Fund to offset overtime in Measure T Fire annually;
· Transferred 1 vacant position from Police and Fire.

Sales Tax
Measure T does not receive any of the general 1% sales tax. It only receives the additional ¼ cent tax. Measure T sales tax continues to have growth but at a slower rate than the General Fund sales tax rate due to how district sales taxes are applied compared to general sales taxes in two main areas: car sales and business to business sales.

District sales tax is applied to the City in which a car is registered, not the City in which it is sold. Therefore, for Visalia to receive the district sales tax for a purchase of a vehicle, that vehicle would have to be registered to an owner address in Visalia. If a resident from Dinuba purchases a vehicle in Visalia, Visalia would receive their local 1% share of the State sales tax but would not receive any of the district taxes (Measure T & N). Likewise, Business to Business sales tax works the same way. One of the areas that Visalia has seen a large sales tax growth is in Business to Business sales. These transactions do not help Measure T to the degree that they help General Sales Tax.

Since last fiscal year, Measure T has seen a large rise in sales tax like the General Fund. Last fiscal year sales tax grew by 17%, this year it is projected to grow by 11%. Sales tax growth prior to FY 20/21 was on average between 3 -4%. Staff is projecting sales tax to continue to grow but at a much smaller pace of 2%. This growth is building upon the inflated sales tax numbers from the past two years. These projections do not include an economic downturn which would result in less revenues Chart 1 - Measure T Revenues, shows the projected sales tax to be well above the amended plan needs.

Chart 1 - Measure T Revenues
Fire Measure T
The majority of expenditures for the Fire Measure T fund are for salary and benefits, as shown in Table 1: Fire Measure T Projection. The fund balance that is projected to be $6 million at the end of this fiscal year (2021/22). The City has a policy that all allocated positions are budgeted. With the current amended plan, if there is a vacant position it will be transferred to Measure T. This will help reduce an operating deficit by approximately $100,000. The projected surpluses will help fund any additional increases in salaries and benefits as well as this fund’sshare of the public safety building as outlined in the plan.

Police Measure T revenues have exceeded the expenditures since FY 2012/13 due to the reduction in police officers. This reduction, as well as reducing the VECC contribution, has allowed the fund to have a surplus at the end of each year. Like Fire, the majority of the expenditures are for salary and benefits for 23 officers. The projection for the next 5 years shows the surplus decreasing due to PERS and benefit increases, as shown in Table 2: Police Measure T Projection. The surpluses will help with this fund’s share of the public safety building as outlined in the plan. Also, the City has a policy that all allocated positions are budgeted. With the current amended plan, if there is a vacant position available, it will be transferred to Measure T.

This will help reduce any deficit by approximately $120,000.

Agenda Item Wording:

Public Hearing on, and adoption of, the City of Visalia 2022/23 and 2023/24 multi-year budget.

Resolution 2022-43.

Deadline for Action: 6/30/2022
Submitting Department: Finance and Technology Services
Contact Name and Phone Number: Renee Nagel, Finance & Technology Director, 713-4375; Amee Swearingen, Financial Analyst, 713-4170
Department Recommendation: That the City Council on June 20, 2022 take the following actions:
• Conduct a required public hearing to receive citizen input; and • Adopt the City Fiscal Year 2022/23 and 2023/24 Budgets; Background Discussion:

The City’sbudget document is comprised of a 2-year operating plan, a 6-year capital improvement program, and an appropriation for debt service and other uses. Moreover, it is a reflection of Council’s leadership in shaping the service priorities and goals of the Visalia community while maintaining fiscal prudence and oversight. The budget is a dynamic document that demonstrates to the public our commitment to service and our focus on meaningful work and significant projects.

The proposed budget has been presented to Council in sections at many Council meetings since February. The Capital Improvement Program was presented to Council by Fund from February to March. The Operating and remaining sections were presented during both meetings in May.

Below is the link to the FY 2022/23 & 2023/24 proposed budget on the City’s website:
<https://www.visalia.city/depts/finance/budget_n_financial_reports/default.asp> Staff recommends that the Council adopt a budget by June 30 to comply with the Charter requirements. The charter requires a budget appropriation for all expenditures. However, if Council is concerned or desires further discussion of the budget, further hearings could be scheduled. This would result in the City having expenditures with no appropriation, which is not a desirable or recommended approach if it can be avoided.

Finally, the Visalia Charter states that at any regularly scheduled meeting the City Council may make changes to the adopted budget. That being the case, Council has the ability to reshape the budget as it sees fit throughout the year. As staff often mentions, the budget is a living, breathing document, because fiscal circumstances change constantly and circumstances can dictate that Visalia City Council Printed on 6/17/2022Page 1 of 6

changes to the budget must be made along the way.

The total budget for FY 2022/23 is $261.3 million and FY 2022/24 is $270.9 million as shown in Table 1- Proposed Appropriation.

Proposed Appropriations
Please note that the proposed budget appropriation for both fiscal years is higher than what was presented to Council on May 6th and listed in the budget document that was provided. Both years did not include the Measure N Emerging Needs Fund and the Youth Services Fund which increased the total appropriations for FY 22/23 by $1.72 million and FY 23/24 by $1.77 million. All Measure N budget presentations to Council and the Measure N Oversight Committee have included the correct amounts.

General Fund
The General Fund is the largest individual fund in the City and is comprised of 8 operating departments. The proposed operating budget for the General Fund is $77.6 million in FY 2022/23 and $80.2 in FY 2023/24. The General Fund is expected to have a surplus in both budget years which is projected to be $6.9 million in FY 2022/23 and $6.2 million in FY 2023/24, as shown in Table 2, General Fund Recommended Budget.

Recommended Budget Positions
The proposed budget includes a total of 679 full-time employees and 174 part-time employees. This count includes the addition of 18 new full-time positions across the organization.

Budget Conclusion
The City is entering this upcoming two-year budget in a good financial position due to seeing higher than normal growth over the last couple of years and continuing to adhere to the fiscally sound policies that are in place. While revenue forecasts are showing growth in all categories, we must recognize that other foreign and domestic factors (i.e. inflation, housing prices, supply chain disruptions, etc.) could negatively impact the growth and expansion of our local economy. The City should continue to be conservative with the significant rise in costs for goods and services. We will continue to monitor the City finances closely and will return to Council with amendments as needs and resources are identified.

Fiscal Impact:

None
Prior Council Action: Council conducted work sessions at all meetings in February and March 2022 to review Capital Project’s. May 2 and 15th the proposed budget was presented for FY 2022/23 & 2023/24.

Agenda Item Wording:

Authorization to allow the City of Visalia to place the item contested during the June 6, 2022 public hearing on the Miscellaneous Special Assessments on the Tulare County secured property tax roll.

Deadline for Action: 6/20/2022
Submitting Department: Finance and Technology Services
Contact Name and Phone Number: Ruth Pena, 713-4327
Department Recommendation:

After holding a Public Hearing on June 6, 2022 it is recommended that the contested item be placed on the Miscellaneous Special Assessments of the Tulare County secured property tax roll for collection.

Background Discussion:

Summary: During the Public Hearing held on June 6, 2022, one property owner objected to a lien being placed on their property. Staff was directed to reexamine the assessment further and to return with a recommendation.

The contested item is being recommended to be placed on the Miscellaneous Special Assessments of the Tulare County secured property tax roll for collection.

Background Discussion:

In general, the current process of holding a public hearing for determining whether to place certain assessments, fines and delinquent costs on the tax roll is a limited process. The only issue to be determined by the Council is whether the assessment or fine is owed and the code procedure followed, not whether the assessment or fine was properly assessed in the first instance. In all cases, an administrative appeal hearing process has been provided to determine the substance of the issue, and there is no further appeal to the City Council.

Pursuant to Visalia Municipal Code Sections 15.44.040 and 8.40.060, administrative costs associated with overseeing the abatement of the conditions constituting a public nuisance (including the cost of inspections) may be assessed and made a lien on the real property where the public nuisance exists or existed.

The City has put in place an administrative enforcement procedure (Visalia Municipal Code Chapter 1.13) that allows property owners to appeal both the determination that a nuisance exists as well as the assessment of inspection fees through an administrative process, culminating in a hearing before an Administrative Hearing Officer, which results in a final Administrative Enforcement Order. Under this process, if the appellant disagrees with the Hearing Officer’s decision, the appellant has 90 days to appeal the decision to the Superior Court - there is no appeal to the City Council.

Only after all administrative and court appeals periods have expired is the City authorized to place unpaid fines and abatement fees (including inspection fees) on the Tulare County property tax roll for collection.

Following this process, the Finance Department presented Council with a resolution on June 6, 2022, to place unpaid fees on the Tulare County property tax roll for collection. All these fees are from cases for which the property owner has not appealed within the statutory time frame.

During the Public Hearing on June 6, 2022, one property owner objected to a lien being placed on their property. The contested item is being recommended to be placed on the Miscellaneous Special Assessments of the Tulare County secured property tax roll for collection.

Item Recommended to Place on Tax Roll (1):

1. Property Owner: Agapito Garza
Property Address: 1849 N. Bridge St.

APN: 091-121-012
Lien Amount: $440.00
It has been determined that the property owner was given the proper notification and policies and procedures were followed. It is recommended that the lien amount of $440.00 be placed as a tax lien on the property.

Attachment 2 provides additional information on the property and details of the procedures that were followed.

Fiscal Impact:

Without placement on the Tax Roll, these charges for services are unlikely to be recovered.

Prior Council Action: City Council Public Hearing on June 6, 2022.

Other: N/A
Alternatives: Do not authorize the Finance Department to place parcel 091-121-01 on the Miscellaneous Special Assessment of the Tulare County secured tax roll.

Recommended Motion (and Alternative Motions if expected):

Adoption of Resolution 2022-___ that allows the City of Visalia to place the assessment for parcel 091-121- 012 on the miscellaneous assessments of the Tulare County secured tax roll for collection.

Agenda Item Wording:

Public Hearing and adoption of resolution 2022-30 to authorize proposed new fees, increases, and adjustments to the City’s Rates and Fees schedule for Fiscal Year 2022-23.

Deadline for Action: 6/20/2022
Submitting Department: Finance and Technology Services
Contact Name and Phone Number: Kari Williams 559-713-4298 Department Recommendation:
• Department Recommendation: That the City Council conduct a Public Hearing to receive public testimony on additions/changes/deletions to the City’s Rates and Fees Schedule. • Adopt Resolution 2022-30 to amend the City’s fee document for the FY 2022-23; and • Take action on specific fees, if Council desires, such as:
o Fees increased by CPI;
o Fees increased by ENRCCI; and/or
o Individual fees
Background Discussion:

Proposed new fees, increases, and adjustments to the fees include, but are not limited to, the following services: geographic informational systems, business tax, public safety, airport, transit, building safety, community development, engineering, code enforcement, impact fees, parks and recreation, and public works.

Annually all Fees are recommended for cost-of-living adjustments for the next fiscal year. City ordinances limit annual Impact fee and Business Tax adjustments to specific CPI indexes. Annual inflationary adjustments help Departments cover costs and lessen the burden on the General Fund so that the fund will be available to cover critical operations including Public Safety.

Parks and Recreation is not increasing fees at this time as Staff is currently taking a closer look at the fee structure, analyzing the current fees, and reworking the detail and justification. Staff will bring back to Council the updated fees and Policy and Procedures within the next two months.

For a sixth consecutive year, the Building Safety division has reviewed and completed an analysis of its fees and is not recommending a fee increase for permit fees for FY 22-23 as the Building Safety Division continues to maintain a positive fund balance. The Building Safety division has recently hired a Building Official that will oversee the division. With the hire of a new Building Official, the division will now look to issue an RFP/RFQ for a consultant to conduct a comprehensive fee study. The comprehensive fee study will evaluate the current fee structure and determine if adjustments to the rates and fees are necessary. Any study will be done in coordination with the development community to determine which permit fees can be consolidated, removed, edited, etc..

File #: 22-0075 Agenda Date: 6/20/2022 Agenda #: 5.

For all other fees, staff requests that Council adopt the adjustments after taking input at the Public Hearing.

Fee increases are mainly based on established indexes, such as the Consumer Price Index (CPI). The City uses the California Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CCPI-U) as the basis for most fee adjustments. Impact Fees are required by City ordinance to use a building industry CPI index known as the Engineering News Record Construction Cost Index (ENRCCI). In a like manner, City ordinance dictates the Business Tax will be adjusted by the CPI using the US City Average for All Items (USCPI-U) using the average for the last 3 years. Both Impact Fees and Business Taxes are adjusted annually as directed by ordinance.

Each Index and the fee effective date are listed in Table 1: Index Period Changes.

Fiscal Impact:

Proposed increases of various City rates and fees will help Departments cover costs and lessen the impact on the General Fund.

Prior Council Action: Council reviewed and discussed new fees and adjustments to the Rates and Fees on June 6, 2022.

Other: Committee/Commission Review and Action: The following committees and commissions have reviewed the proposed rate and fee adjustments and recommend to City Council adoption of the adjustments to the City’sRates and Fees for Fiscal Year 2022-23. The Transit Advisory Committee met on April 20, 2022 and reviewed and approved the Transit Fees. The Planning Commission met on April 11, 2022 and they reviewed and recommended the proposed changes to the Planning fees. The CAC met on June 1, 2022 where they reviewed and recommended the proposed Rates and Fees Schedule for Fiscal Year 2022-23.

Alternatives: Partially amend or do not amend the proposed fees.

Recommended Motion (and Alternative Motions if expected):

File #: 22-0074 Agenda Date: 6/6/2022 Agenda #: 2.

Agenda Item Wording:

Receive, review, and discuss proposed new fees, increases and adjustment to the City’s Rates and Fees Schedule for Fiscal Year 2022-23.

Deadline for Action: 6/6/2022
Submitting Department: Finance and Technology Services
Contact Name and Phone Number: Kari Williams 559-713-4298 Department Recommendation:

That the City Council receive, review, and discuss the proposed new fees, increases, and adjustments to the City’s Rates and Fees Schedule for Fiscal Year 2022-23.

Background Discussion:

Annually all Fees, except Impact Fees and Business Tax, are recommended for annual cost of living adjustments for the next fiscal year. City ordinances limit annual Impact Fee and Business Tax adjustments to specific CPI indices and are adjusted accordingly. Annual inflationary adjustments help Departments cover costs and lessen the burden on the General Fund so that the fund will be available to cover critical operations including public safety.

There will be two meetings to review the Rates and Fees for Fiscal Year 2022-23. The first meeting, on June 6, is for presentation and discussion only - to receive, review, and discuss the proposed changes to the City’s Rates and Fees Schedule. The second meeting, on June 20, is to conduct a public hearing and take action to adopt the City’sRates and Fees Schedule for Fiscal Year 2022-23. If approved, the effective date is July 1 for all rates and fees, except for Impact Fees which require a 60-day notice, thus making the effective date for these fees August 20, 2022.

Fee increases are mainly based on established indexes, such as the Consumer Price Index (CPI). The City uses the California Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CCPI-U) as the basis for most fee adjustments. Impact Fees are required by City ordinance to use a building industry CPI index known as the Engineering News Record Construction Cost Index (ENRCCI). In a like manner, City ordinance dictates that the Business Tax will be adjusted by the CPI using the US City Average for all items (USCPI-U) using the average for the last 3 years. Both Impact Fees and Business Taxes are adjusted annually as directed by ordinance. Each Index and the fee effective date are listed in Table 1: Proposed Index Period Changes.

Proposed Index Period Changes
This report explains in detail the following fee changes:
• New Fees
• Fee Increases Exceeding CPI
• Adjusted Fees
• Existing Fees - Previously Not Listed in the Document • Deleted Fees
All existing rates and fees that are only increasing by CPI, ENRCCI (Impact Fees), and USCPI-U (Business Taxes) are not listed in the staff report. These rates and fees are listed in the Proposed Rates and Fees Document FY 22-23 which is attached. For comparison purposes, the document includes the current year’s rates and fees.

Throughout the Rates and Fees Document there are times where some or all of the departments’Rates and Fees are not increased for specific circumstances and reasons. The following are instances of when rates and fees might not be increased. • Ordinance and Fees set by other Governmental Agencies - Some fees may require an ordinance change in order to change them as in the case of Code Enforcement Fees. Some fees may be set by other governmental agencies and therefore may not be changed as in the case of some Police Fees and the Passport Application Fee (located in General Government and Finance Fees). • Legal Requirements (Prop. 218 Fees) - Some fees may require the Department to go through a Prop. 218 notification process before they can be increased as in the case of Solid Waste and Sewer Fees. • Contracted - Some fees are based on contracted services charged at contracted prices and therefore, are not being increased as in the case of Street Improvement Fees, Banking Fees (return check charge, stop payments), Convention Center Fees (contracted services, catering), and Transit Advertising Fees. • Minor Administrative Fees - Some fees are for minor administrative tasks that are minimal and/or rarely occur and are therefore not being increased as in the case of copy fees, payroll fees, and report fees.
• Department - Some fees are not being increased due the department s choice. For instance, a department may want to remain competitive within their industry so an increase in fees may be detrimental to their business as in the case of Animal Control Service Fees (licensing, trap rental, impound fees, etc.), Convention Center Fees (equipment rental, parking lot rental, wifi services, etc.), and Airport Fees Visalia City Council Printed on 6/2/2022Page 2 of 11

(overnight parking, landing fees, gate card replacement, hangar waiting list deposit, and fuel flowage fees).

In addition, a department may be holding off on increasing or changing fees and the basis on which their fees are determined. The Parks and Recreation Department and the Building Safety Division were two such departments that felt they needed such review and therefore have no changes in fees this year.

For Parks and Recreation, staff is currently taking a closer look at the fee structure, analyzing the current fees, and reworking the detail and justification. Staff will bring back to Council the updated fees and Policy and Procedures within the next two months.

For a sixth consecutive year, the Building Safety division has reviewed and completed an analysis of its fees and is not recommending a fee increase for permit fees for FY 22-23 as the Building Safety Division continues to maintain a positive fund balance. The Building Safety division has recently hired a Building Official that will oversee the division. With the hire of a new Building Official, the division will now look to issue an RFP/RFQ for a consultant to conduct a comprehensive fee study. The comprehensive fee study will evaluate the current fee structure and determine if adjustments to the rates and fees are necessary. Any study will be done in coordination with the development community to determine which permit fees can be consolidated, removed, edited, etc..

NEW FEES
The following is a listing of proposed new fees beginning in the upcoming fiscal year, effective July 1, 2022. Note: The page numbers referenced for each fee refer to the page number in the Proposed Rates & Fees Document, which is attached.

Fire - (General Fund)
A new fee for Fire Truck/100 Foot Aerial Ladder (page 28) has been added. This fee is in addition to the Fire Truck/75 Foot Aerial Ladder already listed in the document and taken directly from the FEMA schedule.

FY 21-22 FY 22-23
Fire Truck/100 Foot Aerial Ladder (FEMA Schedule) Per Hour N/A $180.49 Police - (General Fund)
New fees for Retail Firearms Dealer’sLicense Application and Application Renewal (page 31) have been added. These two new fees essentially replace the gun dealer permit fee. The application is mandatory for anyone that chooses to operate a retail firearms business in the City of Visalia. The purpose of the Retail Firearms Dealers License Application is to facilitate the Police Department’sreview to ensure all applicants satisfy the requirements of the City’s Zoning Code and provides the Visalia Police Department with the necessary information to identify and address any concerns with the proposed business. The application gathers necessary information from the applicant and their employees and also outlines the forms required from state and federal agencies to ensure that all regulatory entities are involved in the process. Once approved, the permit is valid one year from the date of issuance. A business then must renew annually in order to continue to conduct business. Both fees reflect the direct rate (salary and benefits) and the indirect rate (overhead costs) of 20%.

Retail Firearms Dealer's FY 21-22 FY 22-23
Licence Application Per Permit N/A $281.00
Renewal Application Per Permit N/A $152.00

The following Home Occupation Permit Fees (page 19) have been decreased from $34.00 to $33.00 and from $17.00 to $16.00 due to a reduction in the indirect rate (overhead costs) calculation. These fees are based on actual cost of salary & benefits and overhead.

FY 21-22 FY 22-23
Home Occupation Permit Home Occupation Permit-new $34.00 $33.00 Home Occupation Permit-change of location $17.00 $16.00 Public Works - Grading Plan Check Fees (General Fund)
The following Grading Permit Fees (page 22) have been adjusted to realign the fees to better reflect more accurately the amount of staff time needed to perform grading inspections. Fee for 1 to 100 cubic yards is being increased from $77.00 to $81.00 using the fee for an Engineer Construction Inspector (rounding to the dollar) as included in the Engineering Rates and Fees shown under Special Services. As determined in fiscal year 2021-22, staff has estimated it takes a minimum of 1-hour for an Engineer Construction Inspector to perform an inspection ranging from 1 to 100 cubic yards.

The incremental amount charged for a permit ranging from 101 to 1,000 cubic yards increased to reflect the actual cost of additional staff time to perform the inspection. The incremental amount charged for each additional 100 cubic yards increased from $19.00 to $20.00. The $20.00 charge for each additional 100 cubic yards is calculated based on that it takes approximately 15 minutes of inspection time for each additional 100 cubic yards.

The incremental amount charged for each additional 1,000 cubic yards for a permit ranging from 1,001 to 10,000 cubic yards increased from $26.00 to $27.00. The $27.00 was calculated based on an inspection rate of 1.25 hours per day required for a typical grading production rate of 2,000 cubic yards per day equating to an estimated 5-day inspection period for a grading permit consisting of 10,000 cubic yards.

The incremental amount charged for each additional 10,000 cubic yards for a permit ranging from 10,001 to 100,000 cubic yards and for 100,001or more cubic yards increased from $203.00 to $214.00. The $214.00 was calculated based on an inspection rate of 1.5 hours per day required for a grading production rate of 5,000 cubic yards per day equating to an estimated 20-working days inspection period for a grading permit of 100,000 cubic yards. The incremental charge thereafter for each additional 10,000 cubic yards will be $214.00.

Grading Permit Fees: FY 21-22 FY 22-23
1 to 100 cubic yards (0.76 to 76.5 m3) for the first 1-100 cubic yards (76.5 m3) $77.00 $81.00 101 to 1,000 cubic yards (77.2 to 764.6 m3) for the first 100 cubic yards (76.5 m3), plus $20.00 for $77.00 $81.00 each additional 100 cubic yards (76.5 m3) or fraction thereof. 1,001 to 10,000 cubic yards (765.3 to 7645.5 m3) for the first 1,000 cubic yards (764.6 m3), plus $27.00 for $248.00 $261.00 each additional 1,000 cubic yards (764.6 m3) or fraction thereof. 10,001 to 100,000 cubic yards (7646.3 to 76 455 m3) for the first 10,000 cubic yards (7645.5 m3), plus $214.00 for $482.00 $504.00 each additional 10,000 cubic yards (7645.5 m3) or fraction thereof. 100,001 cubic yards (76 456 m3) or more for the first 100,000 cubic yards (76 455 m3), plus $214.00 for $2,309.00 $2,430.00 each additional 10,000 cubic yards (7645.5 m3) or fraction thereof.

fee/deposit was being charged as an incentive for homebuilders who had constructed sales offices in their model homes, typically in the garage of the model home, to convert the office back to a garage so that the model home could be sold as a residential home. The fee has been determined to be unnecessary because before a model home can be listed for sale, a final inspection must be done on the model home and permit issued, which would not occur if the office had not been removed and room converted back to a garage. In addition, homebuilders seem to be moving away from on-site sales offices.

ANNUAL ADJUSTMENTS - AUTHORIZED BY ORDINANCE
The following is a listing of proposed fees where fee increases are required by ordinance.

Business Tax
The annual increases are based on the three-year average of the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) - U.S. City Average as previously approved by Council and authorized by City Ordinance.

This adjustment is not subject to Proposition 26 rules as this is an automatic inflationary adjustment and not a new imposition of a tax levy, charge or exaction because a fee is imposed when the governing body approves it, not when the fee takes effect. An inflationary adjustment to a levy, charge or exaction including a fee is merely a fee category set to begin at a certain future effective date. The fee is not considered an increase when it is adjusted for inflation (see Government Code Section 53750(h) (2) (A). The index applicable to fiscal year 2022-23 is 2.58%. These fees will be in effect on July 1, 2022.

Impact Fees
The ordinance approved, cost of living increase for impact fees is based upon the Engineering and News Record Construction Cost Index (ENRCCI). The index applicable to fiscal year 2022-23 is 13.82%. These fees require a sixty day notice and will be in effect on Aug 20, 2022.

File #: 22-0257 Agenda Date: 6/20/2022 Agenda #: 6.

Agenda Item Wording:

Introduce and conduct the second reading of Ordinance No. 2022-09 an ordinance to approve the adoption of Visalia Police Department Military Equipment Policy #708 per California Assembly Bill (AB) 481.

Deadline for Action: 4/14/2021
Submitting Department: Police Department
Contact Name and Phone Number: Chief Jason Salazar, ext. 4215, [email protected]; Captain Luma Fahoum, ext. 4103, [email protected]; Lieutenant Osvaldo Dominguez, ext. 4285, [email protected]
Department Recommendation:

Introduce and conduct the second reading of Ordinance No. 2022-09 an ordinance to approve the adoption of Visalia Police Department Military Equipment Policy 708 per the new California Assembly Bill (AB) 481.

Summary:

AB 481 requires law enforcement agencies to obtain approval of the applicable governing body (City Council), by adoption of a “military equipment” use policy prior to taking certain actions relating to the funding, acquisition, and use of specified types of equipment. The process to approve a military equipment policy must be initiated by May 1, 2022. The process requires that the Department post an inventory of equipment that falls under the definition of military equipment per the legislation, as well as a draft of the military equipment policy on its website 30 days prior to a public hearing for approval by the Council to adopt the ordinance and military equipment policy. AB 481 additionally requires that the Department publish an annual report to include the use of equipment that falls under the legislation’s military equipment definition, complaints received related to that equipment, internal audits of this equipment, the cost of use, and other relevant information and present that report to the Council annually.

The proposed Ordinance and Policy of the Police Department is compliant with the State law as set forth in AB 481. The intent of AB 481 is to increase transparency, accountability, and oversight surrounding the use of equipment utilized for law enforcement purposes by the Department that fall under the definition of military equipment outlined in AB 481. Moreover, the equipment listed in the attached inventory and currently in the possession of the Visalia Police Department, provides police officers equipment that is essential in day-to-day patrol operations, response to critical incidents, and to protect and promote the welfare and safety of the community we serve.

Background Discussion:

AB 481, approved on September 30, 2021, by Governor Gavin Newsom (codified as Chapter 12.8 of Visalia City Council Printed on 6/17/2022Page 1 of 4
powered by Legistar™
658
File #: 22-0257 Agenda Date: 6/20/2022 Agenda #: 6.
the California Government Code and commencing with section 7070 et seq.), requires that all local law enforcement agencies obtain approval from the applicable governing body (City Council) via adoption of a “military equipment” use policy by ordinance prior to requesting, seeking funding, acquiring, and collaborating with other jurisdictions regarding the deployment and use of equipment identified in AB 481 as military equipment.

The term “military equipment”, is defined in AB 481 and, does not necessarily indicate equipment used by the military. Items deemed to be “military equipment” include but are not limited to, unmanned aerial systems (UAS), armored vehicles, command and control vehicles, specialized firearms and ammunition, kinetic energy weapons and munitions, and noise-flash diversionary devices. Many of the items listed as “military equipment” by AB 481 are in wide use by law enforcement agencies across the country as best practices to enhance community and officer safety and used in daily operations or in response to critical incidents. It is important to note that the Visalia Police Department does not possess or utilize any military equipment procured from the United States Department of Defense through the Law Enforcement Support Program (also known as the 1028 or 1033 program).

Visalia Police Department Military Equipment Policy 708 adheres to California Government section 7070 et seq with respect to the approval, acquisition, and reporting requirements of military equipment and is consistent with industry best practices. The proposed military equipment use policy will safeguard the public’s welfare, safety civil rights, and civil liberties.

The Visalia Police Department has reviewed the inventoried equipment and determined that it is necessary because there are no reasonable alternatives that can achieve the same objectives of officer and civilian safety. The Department considers approving the policy and continuing to utilize the listed equipment to be reasonably cost effective compared to available alternatives. Finally, the Visalia Police Department has reviewed the usage of the inventoried equipment and determined that prior military equipment use complied with applicable use policies in effect at the time, and in any instances where prior uses did not comply then corrective action has been taken to remedy nonconforming usage and ensure future compliance.

In addition to the policy obligations, AB 481 requires the City to:
· Publish the draft military equipment use policy to the Police Department’s website 30 days ahead of a public hearing to approve the policy. It is noted that a copy of the draft policy was published on the Department’s website in April of this year to commence the policy approval process and will remain available on the website.
· Publish an annual report identifying all equipment in possession or in use by the Department that falls under the categories identified in AB 481 and approved by the City Council. · Hold at least one well-publicized and conveniently located community engagement meeting within 30 days of submitting and publicly releasing the annual military equipment report. · Have the Police Department present an annual report concerning military equipment use to the City Council.

The Visalia Police Department Draft Military Equipment Inventory List was published on the City of Visalia website on April 7, 2022, at least (30) days prior to the adoption of this ordinance approving the proposed policy to occur with the first public hearing that was held on May 16, 2022, and the Visalia City Council Printed on 6/17/2022Page 2 of 4
