AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF VISALIA, CALIFORNIA ADDING
CHAPTER 3.14 (CANNABIS BUSINESS TAX) TO TITLE 3 OF THE

VISALIA MUNICIPAL CODE ESTABLISHING A TAX ON CANNABIS

BUSINESS ACTIVITIES WITHIN THE CITY
WHEREAS, in 1996 California voters approved Proposition 215, that legalized, under state not federal law, the possession and use of cannabis for medical purposes by individuals under designated circumstances; and
WHEREAS, in 2016, California voters approved Proposi tion 64, the Adult Use of Marijuana Act, which established a system to legalize, control, and regulate the cultivation, processing, manufacture, distribution, testing, and sale of nonmedical marijuana. However, Proposition 64 expressly allowed local agenci es, such as the City of Visalia to decide whether to allow commercial marijuana activities within the local agency jurisdiction along with allowing local agencies to pass, with requisite voter approval, local excise taxes on cannabis businesses; and

WHEREAS, in 2022, SB 1186, which became effective on January 1, 2024, was signed into law, this statute decreases the prior allowances for local agency control over cannabis business by stating cities in California cannot adopt or enforce regulations that prohi bit the retail sale by delivery of medicinal cannabis, although zoning and business license regulations of such businesses are allowed by state law; and

WHEREAS, the City of Visalia, in response to SB 1186 modified its municipal code to allow non storefront or delivery only medicinal cannabis businesses within Visalia , although no such businesses presently operate within Visalia; and

WHEREAS, presently the City of Visalia has no local excise tax on cannabis businesses; and

WHEREAS, if in the future cannabis business activities are permitted in the City of Visalia by either a future City of Visalia City Council, the voters of Visalia through a future ballot measure, or state law permitting such sales, then the Visalia City Council desires that a tax be in place and imposed on any such future cannabis business activities; and

WHEREAS, the City Council finds that this ordinance would, if approved by voters, authorize a tax for general fund purposes on cannabis business activities that are allowe d within the City of Visalia.

NOW THEREFORE THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF VISALIA DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1. CODE AMENDMENT. Chapter 3.14 is added to Title 3 of the Visalia Municipal Code 283

3.14.160 Enforcement - action to collect.

Any taxes, interest, penalties, and/or fees required to be paid under the provisions of this chapter shall be deemed a debt owed to the City. Any person owing money to the City under the provisions of this chapter shall be liable in an action brought in the name of the City for the recovery of such debt.

3.14.170 Apportionment.

If a person subject to the tax is operating both within and outside the City, it is the intent of the City to apply the cannabis business tax so that the measure of the tax fairly reflects the proportion of the taxed activity actually carried on in the City. To the extent federal or state law requires that any tax due from any taxpayer be apportioned, the taxpayer may indicate said apportionment on his or her tax return . The Tax Administrator may promulgate administrative procedures for apportionment as he or she finds useful or necessary.

3.14.180 Constitutionality and legality.

This tax is intended to be applied in a manner consistent with the United States and California Constitutions and state law.

If a person believes that the tax, as applied to him or her, is impermissible under applicable law, he or she may request that the Tax Administrator release him or her from the obligation to pay the impermissible portion of the tax.

3.14.190 Audit and examination of premises and records.

A. For the purpose of ascertaining the amount of cannabis business tax owed or verifying any representations made by any taxpayer to the City in support of his or her tax calculation, the Tax Administrator or his/her designees , which may include a third party , shall have the power to inspect any location where commercial cannabis activity occurs and to audit and examine all books and records (including, but not limited to bookkeeping records, access to METRC data, and/or point -of-sale data, state and /or federal income tax returns, excise tax returns, space utilized for cannabis related activities, and other records relating to the gross receipts of the business) of persons engaged in cannabis businesses. In conducting such 297

Cannabis Business Tax Ordinance

investigation, the Tax Administrator, or his/her designees, which may include a third party, shall have the power to inspect any space utilized for cannabis business related activities , equipment or software, such as computers, software systems, platforms, and databases (including METRC), and/or point of sale systems, to include any keys or access codes for access to and use of the equipment and/or software, that may contain such records.

B. It shall be the duty of every person liable for the collection and payment to the City of any ta x imposed by this chapter to keep and preserve, for a period of at least three (3) years, all records as may be necessary to determine the amount of such tax as he or she may have been liable for the collection of and payment to the City, which records the Tax Administrator or his/her designee, which may include a third party, shall have the right to inspect at all reasonable times.

3.14.200 Other licenses, permits, taxes, fees or charges.

3.14.210 Payment of tax does not authorize unlawful business.

If the Tax Administrator is not satisfied that any statement filed as required under the provisions of this chapter is correct, or that the amount of tax is correctly computed, he or she may compute and determine the amount to be paid and make a deficiency determination upon the basis of the facts contained in the statement or upon the basis of any information in his or her possession or that may come into his or her possession within three (3) years of the date the tax was originally due and payable. One or more deficiency determinations of the amount of tax due for a period or periods may be made. When a person discontinues engaging in a cannabis business, a deficiency determination may be made at any time within three (3) years thereafter as to any liability arising from engagin g in such cannabis business whether or not a deficiency determination is issued prior to the date the tax would otherwise be due. Whenever a deficiency determination is made, a notice shall be given to the person concerned in the same manner as notices of assessment are given under Section 3.14.240 and 3.14.250.

3.14.230 Failure to report—nonpayment, fraud.

A. Under any of the following circumstances, the Tax Administrator may make and give notice of an assessment of the amount of tax owed by a person under this chapter at any time:

1. If the person has not filed a complete statement required under the provisions of this chapter;

2. If the person has not paid the tax due under the provisions of this chapter;

3. If the person has not, after demand by the Tax Administrator , filed a corrected statement, or furnished to the Tax Administrator adequate substantiation of the information contained in a statement already filed, or paid any additional amount of tax due under the provisions of this chapter; or

4. If the Tax Administrator determines that the nonpayment of any cannabis business tax due under this chapter is due to fraud, a penalty of twenty-five percent (25%) of the amoun t of the tax shall be added thereto in addition to penalties and interest otherwise payable under this chapter and any other penalties allowed by law.

B. The notice of assessment shall separately set forth the amount of any tax known by the Tax Administrator to be due or estimated by the Tax Administrator, after consideration of all information within the Tax Administrator's knowledge concerning the business and activities of the person assessed, to be due under each applicable provision of this chapter and shall include the amount of any penalties or interest accrued on each amount to the date of the notice of assessment. The notice shall state that the person has thirty (30) calendar days from the date of the notice to make a written request for an informal hearing before the Tax Administrator. The notice shall also state that if the person fails to timely request an informal hearing within the 299

Cannabis Business Tax Ordinance

time allowed, the amount determined by the Tax Administrator is final and conclusive and is immediately due and payable.

3.14.240 Tax assessment - notice requirements.

The notice of assessment shall be served upon the person either by personal delivery, by overnight delivery by a nationally-recognized courier service, or by a deposit of the notice in the United States mail, postage prepaid thereon, addressed to the person at the address of the location of the business or to such other address as he or she shall register with the Tax Administrator for the purpose of rece iving notices provided under this chapter; or, should the person have no address registered with the Tax Administrator for such purpose, then to such person's last known address. For the purpose of Section 3.14.240, a service by overnight delivery shall be deemed to have occurred one (1) calendar day following deposit with a courier and service by mail shall be deemed to have occurred three (3) days following deposit in the United States mail.

3.14.250 Tax assessment - hearing, application and determination.

Within thirty (30) calendar days after the date of service of the notice of assessment the person may apply in writing to the Tax Administrator for an informal hearing on the assessment.

If application for a n informal hearing is not made within the time herein prescribed, the tax assessed by the Tax Administrator shall become final and conclusive. Within thirty (30) calendar days of the receipt of any such application for an informal hearing, the Tax Administrator shall cause the matter to be set for an informal hearing before him or her, or his/her designee, no later than thirty (30) calendar days after the receipt of the application, unless a later date is agreed to by the Tax Administrator and the person requesting the informal hearing. Notice of such informal hearing shall be given by the Tax Administrator to the person requesting such informal hearing no later than five (5) calendar days prior to such informal hearing. A hearing under this section shall be informal and need not follow any formal rules of evidence. At such hearing said applicant may appear and offer evidence why the assessment as made by the Tax Administrator should not be confirmed and fixed as the tax due. After such hearing the Tax Administrator shall determine and reassess (if necessary) the proper amount of tax, interest, penalties, and fees to be charged and shall give written notice of the decision to the person in the manner prescribed in Section

3.14.240 for giving notice of assessment. No appeal of a notice of assessment may be made under Section 3.14.150 unless an informal hearing is timely requested and the person attends the hearing.

Cannabis Business Tax Ordinance

calamity resulting in physical damage to real property , whether or not resulting from natural causes.

B. The person shall provide any information required by the Tax Administrator including, without limitation, why relief is requested, the time period for which the relief is requested, and the reason relief is needed for the specific amount of time. The person agrees to grant the Tax Administrator or his/her designee access to the location where the cannabis business has been impacted due to a disaster.

C. The Tax Administra tor, in his/her sole discretion, may provide relief from the cannabis business tax requirement for businesses whose operations have been impacted by a disaster if such tax relief does not exceed ten thousand ($10,000) dollars. Such temporary relief may be granted for a reasonable amount of time, in the Tax Administrator’s sole discretion, and the amount and duration of relief should be based upon how long it would reasonably take for the cannabis business to recover from the disaster. The Tax Administrator may require that the cannabis business follow certain conditions to receive temporary relief from the cannabis business tax requirement. The Tax Administrator's decision on a request for relief and the conditions that may be imposed for relief under this section are final and conclusive and not subject to appeal under Section 3.14.150.

3.14.270 Conviction for violation - taxes not waived.

The conviction and punishment of any person for failure to pay the required tax shall not excuse or exempt such person from any civil action for the tax debt unpaid at the time of such conviction. No civil action shall prevent a criminal prosecution for any violation of the provisions of this chapter or of any state law requiring the payment of all taxes.

3.14.280 Violation deemed misdemeanor.

Any person violating any of the provisions of this chapter shall be guilty of a misdemeanor pursuant to the penalty provision for municipal code violations stated in Chapter 1.12 of the Visalia Municipal Code.

3.14.290 Severability.

If any provision of this chapter, or its application to any person or circumstance, is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unlawful, unenforceable, or otherwise void, that determination shall have no effect on any other provision of this chapter or the application of this chapter to any other person or circumstance and, to that end, the provisions hereof are severable.

3.14.300 Remedies cumulative.

All remedies and penalties prescribed by this chapter or which are available under any other provision of this code and any other provision of law or equity are cumulative. The use of 301

Cannabis Business Tax Ordinance

one or more remedies by the City shall not bar the use of any other remedy for the purpose of enforcing the provisions of this chapter.

3.14.310 Amendment or modification.

Except as set forth in Section 3.14.310, this chapter may be amended or modified but not repealed by the City Council without a vote of the people. However, as required by Article XIII C of the California Constitution, voter approval is required for any amendment that would expand, extend, or increase the rate of any tax levied pursuant to this chapter beyond the maximums set forth in this chapter. The people of the City of Visalia affirm that the following actions shall not constitute an increase of the rate of a tax:

A. The restoration or adjustment of the rate of the tax to a rate that is no higher than that allowed by this chapter, in those circumstances where, among others, the City Council has previously acted to reduce the rate of the tax or is incrementally implement ing an increase authorized by this chapter;
B. An action that interprets or clarifies (i) the methodology of applying or calculating the tax or (ii) any definition applicable to the tax, so long as the interpretation or clarification (even if contrary to some prior interpretation or clarification) is not inconsistent with the provisions of this chapter; or
C. The collection of the tax imposed by this chapter even if the City had, for some period of time, failed to collect the tax.

SECTION 2. SEVERABILITY. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase of this ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this ordinance. The people of the City of Visalia hereby declare that they would have passed this ordinance and each section, subsection , sentence, clause and phrase thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, sentences, clauses, or phrases be declared invalid.

SECTION 3. ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE. The City Council hereby finds and determines that this resolution is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act, Public Resources Code Sections 21000 et seq. (“CEQA”) and 14 Cal. Code Re. Sections 15000 et seq. (“CEQA Guidelines”). The calling a nd noticing of an election for the submission of a ballot measure to voters is not a project within the meaning of CEQA Guidelines 15378. The tax submitted to the voters is a general tax that can be used for any governmental purpose; it is not a commitment to any particular action or actions.
302

Cannabis Business Tax Ordinance

As such, under CEQA Guidelines Section 15378 (b)(4), the tax is not a project within the meaning of CEQA because it creates a government funding mechanism that does not involve any commitment to any specific project that may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment. If revenue generated by the tax were used for a purpose that would have such an effect, the City of Visalia would undertake the required CEQA review for that particular project. Therefore, pursuant to CEQA Guideline Section 15060 CEQA analysis is not required.

SECTION 4. EFFECTIVE DATE. Pursuant to the California Constitution, Article XIIIC(2)(b) and California Elections Code 9217, if a majority of the voters voting in the election on Measure “Insert_” vote in favor of the adoption of such measure, this ordinance shall be deemed valid and binding and shall be considered adopted upon the date that the vote is declared by the City Council and shall go into effect ten (10) days after that date.

This Ordinance was approved and adopted by the People of the City of Visalia at the City’s November 5, 2024 statewide election.

This Ordinance was approved by Declaration of the vote by the City Council of the City of Visalia on ______________.

Department Recommendation:

Staff Recommends the City Council authorize the City Manager to file the Notice of Completion for the Caldwell Avenue Improvement Project from Akers Street to Shady Street.

Background Discussion:

Yarbs Grading and Paving Inc. was awarded the construction contract for the Caldwell Avenue Improvement Project (3010-72000/CP9485-999) from Akers Street to Shady Street on October 3, 2022 in the amount of $8,816,521.00. This project is part of the larger Avenue 280 (Caldwell Ave) corridor widening project sponsored by Tulare County Association of Governments (TCAG), the City of Visalia, County of Tulare, City of Farmersville, and the City of Exeter. The Avenue 280 project extends from State Route 99 to the City of Exeter. The larger project is being constructed in stages and by different agencies. The Caldwell Avenue Improvement Project from Akers Street to Shady Street reconstructed the roadway pavement, installed raised median islands, sidewalk, curb, gutter, traffic signal interconnect conduit, and streetlights.

The roadway improvements consisted of reconstructing the roadway with new aggregate base material and new hot mix asphalt pavement. In the process of reconstructing the roadway there were various utilities to be relocated and some new facilities installed. Some of the new facilities included additional streetlighting, irrigation sleeves to the new raised medians for future landscaping, and traffic signal interconnect conduit.

The original construction contract awarded to Yarbs Grading and Paving, Inc. was in the amount of $8,816,521.00. The final construction cost including the construction change orders totaled $9,253,618.23. The total construction change orders amounted to $437,097.64 (4.96%). The following is a breakdown of the construction contract changes.

Errors & Omissions (E&O) $ 19,876.09 0.23%
Utilities (UT) $ 210,107.30 2.38%
Balance of Quantities (BQ) $ (134,655.32) -1.53%
Unforseen Conditions (UN) $ 298,516.95 3.39%
Owner Directed Change in Scope (CofS) $ 43,252.62 0.49% TOTAL: $ 437,097.64 4.96%
Errors and Omissions
The majority of these costs were the result of a subcontractor not including the cost of the streetlight poles. After review, the plans were slightly ambiguous, and the cost was split 50/50 between the City and the Contractor. Additionally, the construction plans did not address the necessary striping at Crenshaw Street at the intersection with Caldwell Avenue.

Utilities
The contractor performed additional potholing to determine the location and depth of the existing utilities for the purpose of relocation or protection of the existing utilities during the construction process. The contractor discovered an existing concrete farming irrigation pipe that had been abandoned in the past but not removed, this conflicted with the structural section of the roadway and had to be removed. Other conflicts were addressed during the construction process to rectify conflicts with SCE underground lines, removal of abandoned conduits, and the removal of existing pavement associated with the utilities.

Balance of Quantities
There were fifteen bid items that increased from the original bid quantity and five bid items that decreased from the original bid amount for a net savings of $134,655.32. A credit was issued to the City due to the decrease in price for the oil used in the hot mix asphalt pavement. This credit resulted in cost savings associated with the items included in the Balance of Quantities.

Unforseen Conditions
To minimize the street closure and reduce impacts to the public, the reconstruction of the major intersections was changed to utilizing a 12 ½ inch hot mix asphalt structural section while providing the structural strength to support the volume of traffic. An abandoned drainage culvert was discovered at the intersection of Caldwell Avenue and Chinowth Street, the culvert was removed and backfilled. Additional cement was needed in the full depth reconstruction (FDR) of the roadway to achieve the structural strength necessary for this arterial roadway traffic volumes. The existing streetlighting within the project limits were not functioning and the wiring was replaced to make the streetlights operational.

Owner Directed Change in Scope
The City updated the overhead safety lighting at the five signaled intersections within the project limits, installed two sewer laterals to vacant parcels located at the southeast corner of Caldwell Avenue at County Center to avoid cutting into the new roadway, paved an additional area of Demaree Street south of Caldwell Avenue, and other minor modifications to the project.

Agenda Item Wording:

Investment Report - 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 of 2024.

Deadline for Action: 6/17/2024
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 of 2024.

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 the Fire Station 51, cape seal of various streets and the major rehab of Caldwell Avenue from Santa Fe to Lovers Lane. Some examples of large projects that cash has been accumulated for that have not started are the Civic Center Phase 2 project, and any potential mandated upgrades to the Water Reclamation Facility.

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’s investments are diversified by the various maturities and credit types which are allowed under the City’s Investment 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, 2024, the national unemployment rate was at 3.8%. The Consumer Price Index was at 3.48%, a slight increase from the December 2023 rate of 3.35%. At its May 1, 2024 meeting, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) kept the Federal Funds Rate (the rate at which institutions borrow and lend overnight funds to each other) at the current range of 5.25% to 5.50% as economic activity has continued to expand, the unemployment rate has remained low, and inflation has trended down over the last year, however, still remains higher than they would like.

Investors continue to remain hopeful that the FOMC will finally begin to cut rates soon, however, the consensus is that the FOMC will hold steady for the remainder of the year as inflation continues to remain above their optimum level of 2%.

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 I shows the rate comparison of the Federal Funds Rate and short term Treasury Securities between the second and third quarter of fiscal year 2023-24 as well as recent rates. Rates have rebounded across all maturity levels since December 2023. The City remains laddered across all maturities.

Portfolio Performance
The March 31, 2024 investment portfolio managed balance was $549,872,797.

The earnings rate as of March 31, 2024 was 3.55%. Key benchmarks and performance statistics for the City’s portfolio are shown in Table II, Managed Portfolio Performance Statistics.

Table II: Managed Portfolio Performance Statistics (dollars in millions) The following Charts I and II show the portfolio ladder and distribution as of March 31, 2024. The portfolio ladder (Chart I - Maturity Ladder) shows our investments based on when they are to mature (ie. 1 year and under, 1-2 years, 2-3 years, etc…). The City invests in different maturity dates to take advantage of different earnings rates (usually the longer the maturity, the higher the earning rate) as well as to spread out maturities so that the proceeds are reinvested at regular intervals. In addition, the City will keep funds needed for operating costs in short term maturities, while investing funds in longer term maturities for those funds that are not yet needed (future projects). Chart II - Maturity Distribution shows what percent each maturity level is of the total investment portfolio.

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 minimum 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 detailed 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.

321
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 context of managing an overall portfolio. Investment officers acting in accordance with written procedures and the investment polic y and exercising due diligence shall be relieved of personal responsibility for an individual security’s credit risk or market price 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 restrictions 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.

322
3 | P a g e

4.3 Return on Investments: The City’s investment portfolio shall be designed with the objective 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. Employ ees and investment officials shall disclose to the Treasurer any material interests in financial institutions that conduct business within this jurisdiction, 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 investment 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 deposito ry 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
• Compliance with City of Visalia insurance requirements for professional services agreements for general, professional and automotive liability.

323
4 | P a g e

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 investment 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 a re 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. Government 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 assist 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 maturities 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.
324
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 Development. 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 issues 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 mortgages, to respond appropriately to the private capital market and to provide ongoing assistance to the secondary market for home mortgages by increasing the liquidi ty 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.

325
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 time draft, it becomes, in effec t, 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 frequently 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.

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. Th e 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 functioning 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 used to alleviat e 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 327
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 und er management in excess of five hundred million dollars ($500,000,000). 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 328
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 internal 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 City 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, 329
10 | P a g e

the return of principal and interest is received on a monthly basis (as mortgages are 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 through 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 strategy, 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.

(FOMC): Consists of seven members of the
Federal Reserve Board and five of the twelve
Federal Reserve Bank Presidents. The President

LIQUIDITY: A liquid asset is one that can be
converted easily and rapidly into cash without a
substantial loss of value. In the money market, a
security is said to be liquid if the spread between
bid and asked prices is narrow and reasonable
size can be done at those quotes.

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 investments. The LAIF

most important and most flexible monetary policy
tool.

PORTFOLIO: Collection of securities held by an
investor.

PRIMARY DEALER: A group of government
securities dealers who submit daily reports of
market activity and positions and monthly

of New York and are subject to its informal
oversight. Primary dealers include Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC)-registered
securities broker-dealers, banks, and a few
unregulated firms.

PRUDENT PERSON RULE: An investment
standard. In some states the law requires that a
fiduciary, such as a trustee, may invest money
only in a list of securities selected by the custody

trustee may invest in a security if it is one which
would be bought by a prudent person of
discretion and intelligence who is seeking a
reasonable income and preservation of capital.

QUALIFIED PUBLIC DEPOSITORIES: A
financial institution which does not claim
exemption from the payment of any sales or
compensating use or ad valorem taxes under the

security based on its purchase price or its current
market price. This may be the amortized yield to
maturity on a bond the current income return.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENT (REPO): A holder
of securities sells these securities to an investor
with an agreement to repurchase them at a fixed
price on a fixed date. The security “buyer” in
effect lends the “seller” money for the period of
the agreement, and the terms of the agreement
are structured to compensate him for this.

Dealers use Repos extensively to finance their
positions. Exception: When the Fed is said to be
doing Repos, it is lending money, increasing bank
reserves.

SAFEKEEPING: A service to customers
rendered by banks for a fee whereby securities
and valuables of all types and descriptions are
held in the bank’s vaults for protection.

SECONDARY MARKET: A market made for the
purchase and sale of outstanding issues following
the initial distribution.

SECURITIES & EXCHANGE COMMISSION:

Agency created by Congress to protect investors
in securities transactions by administering
securities legislation.

Government Sponsored Enterprises (FHLB,
FNMA, SLMA, etc.) and corporations which have
imbedded options (e.g. call features, step-up
coupons, floating rate coupons, derivative-based
returns) into their debt structure. Their market
performance is impacted by the fluctuation of
interest rates, the volatility of the imbedded
options and shifts in the shape of the yield curve.

TREASURY BILLS: A non-interest bearing
discount security issued by the U.S. Treasury to
finance the national debt. Most bills are issued to
mature in three months, six months, and one
year.

obligations of the U.S. Government and having
initial maturities of more than 10 years.

336
17 | P a g e

TREASURY NOTES: Long-term coupon-bearing
U.S. Treasury securities issued as direct
obligations of the U.S. Government and having
initial maturities from two to 10 years.

UNIFORM NET CAPITAL RULE: Securities and
Exchange Commission requirement that member
firms as well as nonmember broker-dealers in
securities maintain a maximum ratio of
indebtedness to liquid capital of 15 to 1; also
called net capital rule and net capital ratio.

Indebtedness covers all money owed to a firm,
including margin loans and commitments to
purchase securities, one reason new public
issues are spread among members of
underwriting syndicates. Liquid capital includes
cash and assets easily converted into cash.

YIELD: The rate of annual income return on an
investment, expressed as a percentage. (a)
INCOME YIELD is obtained by dividing the
current dollar income by the current market price
for the security. (b) NET YIELD or YIELD TO
MATURITY is the current income yield minus any
premium above par or plus any discount from par
in purchase price, with the adjustment spread
over the period from the date of purchase to the
date of maturity of the bond.

Department Recommendation:

Staff recommends that City Council authorize the recordation of the final map for Victory Oaks, Phase 1 subdivision, located on the north side of Ferguson Avenue approximately 800 feet west of Demaree Street (73 Lots). Staff also recommends the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2024-__ initiating proceedings for the formation of Assessment District No. 24-04 “Victory Oaks” and adopt Resolution No. 2024-__ ordering the improvements and levying the annual assessments for assessment District No. 24-04, “Victory Oaks”.

Background Discussion:

The Final map for Victory Oaks Phase 1 Subdivision will subdivide a portion of a 23.7-acre parcel into a 73-lot single-family residential subdivision, a 2.02-acre park parcel, and two outlots. Outlots A & B are landscape lots along the project’sFerguson Avenue frontage to be dedicated to the maintenance district formed with the subdivision. The proposed single-family subdivision will be accessible from the abutting residential subdivision to the north which will provide access from Fontana Street, as well as from a local street connection to Ferguson Avenue and serviced by interior local public streets with full improvements such as curb, gutter, parkway, landscaping sidewalk, streetlights, and other public underground infrastructure (i.e., sewer lines, storm drainage, gas, electricity, and water).

Both interior and exterior streets will be improved to their ultimate right-of-way width within the boundaries of the Victory Oaks subdivision. Improvements along Ferguson Avenue will be completed with Phase 1 and includes construction of curb, gutter, parkway landscaping, sidewalk, 6’ block-wall, streetlighting, and undergrounding of utility lines.

have been submitted and approved by the City prior to the final map being executed and recorded.

The Landscape and Lighting Assessment District No. 24-04 and have also been reviewed and approved as to form by the Landscape and Lighting District Committee. All new landscaping installed within the outlots and parkways for this development will strictly adhere to the State Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance (MWELO). MWELO requires that landscaping and irrigation plans be certified by a qualified entity (i.e., a Landscape Architect) for compliance with the State and City’s water conservation requirements. In addition, MWELO increases water efficiency standards for new landscapes through use of more efficient irrigation systems, inclusion of drought tolerant plant and tree species, and by limiting the portion of landscapes that can be covered in turf.

The Faithful Performance Bond covers the cost of constructing the public improvements noted in the subdivision agreement and the Labor and Material Bond covers the salaries and benefits as well as the materials supplied to install the required public improvements. As required by the Subdivision Ordinance, the Faithful Performance Bond covers 100% of the cost of the public improvements. The Labor and Material Bond is valued at 50% of the Faithful Performance Bond. A Maintenance Bond valued at 10% of the cost of the public improvements will be required prior to recording the Notice of Completion. The Maintenance Bond is held for one year after the recording and acts as a warranty for the public improvements installed per the subdivision agreement. The cash payment covers Development Impact Fees such as storm water acquisition, waterways, sewer front foot fees, and any outstanding plan check and inspection fees. The plan check and inspection fees are estimated at the beginning of the final map process and are not confirmed until the subdivision agreement is finalized. Differences are due in cash at the time of City Council approval of the map.

The City of Visalia has been allowing the developers of subdivisions to form assessment districts under the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972, and now under Proposition 218, in lieu of using homeowners associations for the maintenance of common features such as landscaping, irrigation systems, street lights, street trees, and local streets. The maintenance of these improvements is a special benefit to the development and enhances the land values to the individual property owners in the district.

The Landscape and Lighting Act allows for the use of summary proceedings when all the affected property owners have given their written consent to waive the requirement for a public hearing. The notice period is also waived. The owner of this development has given their written consent to waive the public hearing and form this district. The use of summary proceedings allows for the initiation of proceedings and the final annexation action of the assessment district to be acted upon together as separate resolutions.

Pursuant to Title 16 (Subdivisions) of the Visalia Municipal Code, the City’sauthorization to record the final map is a ministerial action. Specifically, Section 16.24.080 limits the City Council’s action to the specific determination that the final map conforms substantially to the contents of the tentative map, Chapter 16, and the Subdivision Map Act, and provides in pertinent part that “if the Council determines that the map is in conformity with the requirements of this Chapter, the Council shall approve the map (emphasis added).” Disapproval based upon any other reasons would be outside the authority of the Council for this particular action. The Council may reject any and all offers of dedication in the final map pursuant to Section 16.24.080, and require that the City Engineer so indicate on the map, however staff’srecommendation is that the City Council authorize recordation of the final map and accept all offers of dedication as previously described in this report.

General Description
This Assessment District (24-04, Victory Oaks) is located on the north side of Ferguson Avenue approximately 800 feet west of Demaree Street. Exhibit “A” is a map of Assessment District 24-

24. This District includes maintenance of street trees, streetlights, block wall, pavement on local streets, and other applicable equipment or improvements. The maintenance of irrigation systems and block walls includes, but is not limited to, maintaining the structural and operational integrity of these features and repairing and acts of vandalism (graffiti, theft or damage) that may occur.

This District includes the preventive maintenance of all internal local streets by means including, but not limited to overlays, cape seals, crack seals, and reclamite (oiling). The total number of lots within the district is 117 lots.

Determination of Benefit
The purpose of landscaping is to provide an aesthetic impression for the area. The lighting is to provide safety and visual impressions for the area. The block wall provides security, aesthetics, and sound suppression. The maintenance of any landscape areas, streetlights, streets, and block walls is vital for the protection of both economic and humanistic values of the development . In order to preserve the values incorporated within developments and to concurrently have an adequate funding source for the maintenance of all internal local streets within the subdivision, the City Council has determined that landscape areas, street lights, block walls, street trees, and all internal local streets, should be included in a maintenance district to ensure satisfactory levels of maintenance.

Method of Apportionment
In order to provide an equitable assessment to all owners within the District, the following method of apportionment has been used. All lots in the District benefit equally, including lots not adjacent to landscape areas, block walls, and street lights. The lots not adjacent to landscape areas, block walls, and street lights benefit by the uniform maintenance and overall appearance of the District.

All lots in the District have frontage on an internal local street and therefore derive a direct benefit from the maintenance of the local streets.

Estimated Costs
The estimated costs to maintain the District includes the costs to maintain any landscaping, street trees, landscape trees, street lights, block walls, and pavement on local streets. The regular preventive maintenance of pavement on local streets is based on the follo wing schedule:

Reclamite on a 5 year cycle, Crack Seal on a 7 year cycle; Cape Seal on a 15 year cycle and Overlays on a 20 year cycle.

The quantities, estimated costs, and per lot assessment in the “Victory Oaks” landscape and lighting district are as follows:

Exhibit “D”
Engineer’s Report
Landscape & Lighting Assessment District 24-04

Fiscal Year 2024-25

Annual Cost Increase

This assessment district shall be subject to an automatic annual increase derived by the following formula:
year “n” assessment = ($78,358.84) (1.05)
(n-1)

where “n” equals the age of the assessment district with year one (1) being the year that the assessment district was formed;

However, in no case shall the assessment be greater than 1) The actual cost of providing the benefit conferred to each parcel plus any prior years’ deficit and less any carryover, as determined annually or; 2) a 10% increase over the prior year’s assessment.

The reserve fund shall be replenished as necessary to maintain a level of 10% of the estimated maintenance cost so long as the annual assessment change does not exceed the limits identified above.

Example 1) The year four estimated costs are $ 85,411.13 [a 9% increase over the base year assessment of $78,358.84]. The ceiling on the assessment increase for year four would be $90,710.15 [ceiling = ($78,358.84) (1.05)
(4-1)
]. The assessment would be
set at $85,411.13 or the actual cost of providing the maintenance effort.

Example 2) The year four assessment is estimated at the actual cost of providing the maintenance effort of $88,545.49 [a 7% increase over the previous year assessment and a 13.0% increase over the base year assessment]. The ceiling on the assessment increase for year four would be $90,710.15 [ceiling = ($78,358.84) (1.05)
(4-1)
]. The assessment would be set at $88,545.49 or the actual cost of providing the maintenance effort because it is less than the ceiling amount and the year-to-year increase is less than the 10% cap on increases in any given year.

Example 3) The year four assessment is $85,411.13 [a 9% increase over the base year assessment $78,358.84] and damage occurred to the masonry wall raising the year five assessment to $ 104,201.58 [a 22% increase over the previous year assessment]. The year five assessment will be capped at $93,952.11, a 10% increase over the previous year and under the ceiling of $95,245.66 [ceiling = ($78,358.84) (1.05)
(5-1)
]. The difference of $10,249.34 will be recognized as a deficit and carried over into future years’ assessment.

Agenda Item Wording:

Authorize Purchase of Replacement Solid Waste Residential Delivery Truck - Approve the purchase of a Solid Waste Residential Delivery Truck from Visalia Ford and appropriate the amount of $49,153.64 from the Solid Waste Enterprise Fund.

Deadline for Action: 6/17/2024
Submitting Department: Public Works
Contact Name and Phone Number: Jason Serpa, Public Works Manager, 713-4533, [email protected]; Nick Bartsch, Public Works Director, 713-4052, [email protected] Department Recommendation:

Staff recommends that Council approve the purchase of a Solid Waste Residential Delivery Truck and appropriate the amount of $49,153.64 from the Solid Waste Enterprise Fund.

Background Discussion:

The City of Visalia Solid Waste Residential Division provides weekly solid waste service for residents within the City limits. This includes servicing approximately 127,000 residential cans. Apart from the solid waste trucks that service the cans on a day-to-day basis, maintenance staff take care of the daily deliveries, removals and repairs necessary to maintain the equipment in the field and in the corporation yard. This activity requires a delivery and maintenance truck that can tow a trailer that is able to carry equipment from site to site.

Recently, this F-350 1-ton truck (#253905) has been deemed inoperable by our Fleet staff, stating that the repairs would exceed the amount of $26,000 in engine repair costs. Fleet has recommended the replacement of the truck instead of repairing it, due to the age (2009) and condition of the truck in comparison to the cost of repair.

Staff also recommends that the type of truck purchased be a minimum of a ¾ ton pickup to be able to do the duties required. The only local dealer that has a minimum ¾ ton work truck with a single cab, base trim level for purchase is Visalia Ford. All other dealerships only had larger or more equipped trucks that were more expensive when compared to the work capacity that this truck is needed in.

Fiscal Impact:

After searching for 2-wheel drive, single cab work trucks at all local Tulare County dealerships including Ford, Chevrolet, and Dodge, Public Works staff acquired 1 quote from a Sourcewell Cooperative website (National Auto Fleet Group) and a matching quote from Visalia Ford for an identical truck. The truck at Visalia Ford is already on the lot and ready for purchase. The quotes obtained, including taxes and fees, were as follows:

File #: 24-0235 Agenda Date: 6/17/2024 Agenda #: 10.

Visalia Ford - $49,153.64
National Auto Fleet Group - $49,120.65
Keeping in mind the local preference, staff recommends that Council approve the purchase from the local dealer instead of purchasing from the cooperative. This would save on delivery and build times as the truck from the National Fleet Cooperative would be ordered from the factory. The truck, as equipped, will be able to be put into service immediately as no other components are required.

If any proceeds are received for the disposition of the current delivery truck that will not be repaired, the funds will be returned to the Solid Waste Enterprise Fund.

Prior Council Action: N/A
Other: N/A
Alternatives: To not approve the purchase of a Solid Waste Residential Delivery Truck for the amount of $49,153.64 and repair the existing truck. This is not recommended as the cost of repair is more than half the cost of a replacement truck and the current truck is 15 years old.

Recommended Motion (and Alternative Motions if expected):

I move to approve the purchase of a Solid Waste Residential Delivery Truck from Visalia Ford and appropriate the amount of $49,153.64 from the Solid Waste Enterprise Fund.

Dolores Verduzco, Financial Analyst, [email protected], (559) 713-4540 Jason Huckleberry, Engineering & Building Director, [email protected], (559) 713-4495 Department Recommendation:

Staff recommends Council adopt Resolution 2024-29 authorizing the City Manager to sign the Fiscal Year 2023/24 Claim to the Tulare County Association of Governments (TCAG) for Regional Surface Transportation Program (RSTP) Funds in Exchange for State Highway Account Funds and appropriate $889,030 toward a Road Rehabilitation project.

Background Discussion:

RSTP federal funds for fiscal year 2023/24 are eligible to exchange for state funds. The estimated 2023/24 RSTP allocation amount available to the City of Visalia is $889,030. TCAG requires a resolution authorized by the governing board identifying an officer with the authority to sign the Fiscal Year 2023/24 RSTP Exchange for State Highway Account Funds Claim.

RSTP funds are distributed to TCAG as the designated Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for Tulare County for surface transportation improvements. Funds are distributed to member agencies based on population size. Previously, the Visalia UZA (urbanized area) boundary encompassing Visalia, Tulare, Exeter, Farmersville and surrounding unincorporated communities combined exceeded the 200,000-population threshold. Agencies encompassed by the Visalia UZA were not able to exchange RSTP federal funds for state funds. The 2020 Census changed how urban areas were determined and as a result all member agencies may exchange, beginning fiscal year 2023/24, RSTP funds for state funds.

Staff recommends the exchange of RSTP funds to State Highway Account funds as state funds have fewer restrictions, a shorter environmental process, and no local match requirement compared to federal funds. For fiscal year 2023/24, the RSTP balance available to member agencies for exchange of state funds is $2,952,831. Based on population size, approximately 30.1% is being allocated to the City of Visalia in the amount of $889,030. Staff recommends funds be utilized toward road rehabilitation. The street/road segments to be rehabilitated will be identified through the Pavement Visalia City Council Printed on 6/14/2024Page 1 of 2

rehabilitation. The street/road segments to be rehabilitated will be identified through the Pavement Management System.

Fiscal Impact:

Staff recommends the appropriation of State Highway Account funds in the amount of $889,030 to a road rehabilitation project. There is no fee to exchange the RSTP funds for state funds. RSTP funds were not included in the FY 24/25 and 25/26 Budget due to these funds being approved on a project basis.

Prior Council Action: None.

Alternatives: Not submit the FY 2023/24 RSTP Funds Exchange Claim Form.

Recommended Motion (and Alternative Motions if expected):

I move to adopt Resolution No. 2024-29 to authorize the City Manager to sign the Fiscal Year 2023/24 Claim to the Tulare County Association of Governments (TCAG) for Regional Surface Transportation Program (RSTP) Funds in Exchange for State Highway Account Funds and appropriate $889,030 toward Road Rehabilitation.

Agenda Item Wording:

Contested Special Assessments - Authorization to allow the City of Visalia to place items contested during the June 3, 2024, public hearing on the Miscellaneous Special Assessments on the Tulare County secured property tax roll.

Deadline for Action: 6/17/2024

Contact Name and Phone Number: Ruth Pena, 713-4327, [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>
Department Recommendation:

After investigation of the protests received during the Public Hearing held on June 3, 2024, it is recommended that eight of the nine contested items be placed on the Miscellaneous Special Assessments of the Tulare County secured property tax roll for collection.

Background Discussion:

During the Public Hearing held on June 3, 2024, six individuals objected to nine of the proposed tax roll assessments. Five property owners spoke in person at the public hearing and one property owner contested three proposed assessments in an email sent to the City, prior to the protest deadline. Staff was directed to examine the assessments further and return with recommendations.

Of the nine contested items, eight are being recommended to be placed on the Miscellaneous Special Assessments of the Tulare County secured property tax roll for collection and one is recommended to be removed from the tax roll.

Any property owner may avoid having their item placed on the tax roll by paying the amount due prior to June 30, 2024.

Public Hearing Process
In general, the current process of holding a public hearing to determine whether to place certain assessments, fines and delinquent costs on the tax roll is a limited process. The only issue to be considered by the Council is whether the assessment or fine is owed and the code procedure followed, not to review the background or cause of the assessment 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 Visalia City Council Printed on 6/14/2024Page 1 of 5

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 the Council with a resolution on June 3, 2024, to place unpaid fees on the Tulare County property tax roll for collection. The fees are from cases for which the property owner has not appealed within the statutory time frame.

Payments can be made by June 30, 2024, to avoid the assessment being placed on the tax roll.

Agenda Item Wording:

Public Hearing and adoption of the City of Visalia 2024/25 and 2025/26 multi-year budget.

Resolution 2024-26.

Deadline for Action: 6/30/2024
Submitting Department: Finance and Technology Services
Contact Name and Phone Number: Renee Nagel - Finance & Technology Director (559) 713-4375, Amee Swearingen - Budget Analyst (559) 713-4170
Department Recommendation:

That the City Council take the following actions:
· Continue review and discussion of the proposed budget; · Conduct a required public hearing to receive citizen input; and · Approve the City Fiscal Year 2024/25 and 2025/26 Budget. Specific items may be requested for separate approval.

Background Discussion:

The City Council has spent the last several months reviewing the Capital Budget and Measure N.

Last meeting the operating budget and the budget, as a whole, was presented to Council.

Questions not addressed at the June 3rd meeting are addressed at the end of this report.

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 desires further discussion of the budget, the June 17th public hearing could be continued to a special meeting which would need to be held before June 30th.

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 changes to the budget must be made along the way.

The total budget for FY 2024/25 is $295.4 million and FY 2025/26 is $329.9 million as shown in Table 1- Proposed Appropriation.

The recommended budget includes continued revenue growth in majority of the funds as economic activity in the City continues to increase and new businesses open. While revenues continue to have small growth, 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 Visalia City Council Printed on 6/14/2024Page 5 of 6

supply chain disruptions, etc.) could negatively impact the growth and expansion of our local economy. Any of these factors could also cause another economic downturn.

Staff is optimistic, but we must also be fiscally responsible by having sufficient reserves, balanced budgets, and prudent spending policies. The proposed budget meets all of these objectives.

Response to Council Questions from June 3 meeting:

Can the Riverway Sports Park fence be completed sooner? The Riverway Sports Park fence project is budgeted for $1.5 million in FY 25/26 and is listed as a project that would be deferred if a recession occurred. If Council choses, they can direct staff to design in FY 24/25 and prepare bid documents. This would allow the bid to be issued and awarded in July 2025 (FY 25/26). If this option is chosen, staff will ask to appropriate funds for the design when the contract is brought to Council for award.

Fiscal Impact:

None

Agenda Item Wording:

Measure T District Tax Amendment and Recertification - Amend the Measure T plan and recertify the plan for FY 2024/25.

Deadline for Action: 6/30/2024
Submitting Department: Finance and Technology Services
Contact Name and Phone Number: Renee Nagel, 713-4375 [email protected] Amee Swearingen, 713-4170 [email protected]
Department Recommendation:

It is recommended that the Council recertify the Measure T expenditure plan for the new budget year July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025 (FY 2024/25) as required per the plan to be done annually; amend the plan to change the Economic Uncertainty Fund calculation from 25% of budgeted revenues to 30% of operating expenditures; and to continue with the existing plan until all staffing levels and projects have been met.

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 maintain an economic uncertainty fund of 25% of budgeted sales tax revenues.

This is to be used if revenues do not cover expenditures.

Annually the plan is required to get recertified by Council and every eight years a review of the sales tax measure and the need to continue it. The next effectiveness review is schedule for January 2029.

For the annual 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:
· Two Police substations built
· 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 (reduced from the original plan of 18) · Built Fire Station 55 and Training Facility
· Built Fire Station 53
· Purchased 2 New Fire Trucks
· Built Visalia Emergency Communication Center

File #: 24-0213 Agenda Date: 6/17/2024 Agenda #: 3.

In addition, the plan requires both police and fire portions of the funds to contribute towards the 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 Officers allocation by 6 (3 through attrition & 3 transferred to the General Fund). In July 2014, an officer was added back. The current number of officers is 23 reduced from 28.
· Reduced Fire position allocation from 18 to 13. Three positions were never filled and in June 2019, moved the Battalion Chief and Administrative Captain to Measure N bringing the total Fire position allocation to 13.
· Declared a fiscal emergency for fiscal years 09/10, 10/11, 11/12, and 12/13 · Maximum of 1 vacancy is allowed in each fund
The last year of the 20-year plan is FY 2024/25 (year 1 began in FY 2004/05). Staff recommends continuing to fund the plan elements outlined and add staff back, per the original plan, as funding becomes available.

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 grow but at a slower rate than the General Fund sales tax rate.

Measure T does not receive any of the general 1% sales tax. It only receives the additional ¼ cent tax. This slower growth rate is 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 the car is registered in, not the City it is sold in. Therefore, for Visalia to receive the district sales tax for a purchase of a vehicle, that vehicle would have to be registered 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 as they do our General Sales Tax.

Since FY 2019/20, Measure T has had larger-than-normal growth due to the multi-year COVID stimulus money that the Federal Government issued. This one-time money has ended and sales tax is projected to end the fiscal year with a negative for the second year in a row. Last fiscal year, Measure T ended with a -1 % growth and is projected to end this fiscal year with -7%. Based on the past two years, staff is projecting no growth in 24/25 and a 1% growth in 25/26. However, this is very optimistic that the economy does not take a downturn. Chart 1 - Measure T Revenues, shows the Visalia City Council Printed on 6/14/2024Page 2 of 6

optimistic that the economy does not take a downturn. Chart 1 - Measure T Revenues, shows the projected sales tax to be above the amended plan expenses for the for FY 2024/25.

Chart 1 - Measure T Revenues & Expenditures
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 Projections. The fund balance is projected to be $6.1 million at the end of this fiscal year. The surplus is projected to decrease each year due to the sales tax realignment and increase in salary and benefits. In addition, the Measure T Fire plan is to contribute towards the Public Safety Building that is currently under design. Staff will return to Council at a later date to appropriate Measure T Fire funds as outlined in the plan. Once the Public Safety building is completed, any remaining surpluses can be used to add additional fire staff.

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 which consists of 23 officers. Staff is projecting a smaller surplus in the future years, starting in FY 24/25, due to sales tax realignment and salary and benefit increases as shown in Table 2 - Police Measure T Projection. In addition, the Measure T police plan is to contribute towards the Public Safety Building that is currently under design. Staff will return to Council at a later date to appropriate Measure T Police funds as outlined in the plan. Once the Public Safety building is completed, any remaining surpluses can be used to add additional officers.

The plan calls for the economic uncertainty fund to be maintained at 25% of budget revenues. As mentioned above, staff is projecting sales tax to be down 7% this fiscal year, no growth next year (FY 24/25), and 1% growth in FY 25/26. The negative sales tax projection for this fiscal year lowers the base line that is being used in the next two years. This causes the economic uncertainty fund to be overfunded and will require no additional funds for the next two years. This method is not typically used when calculating a reserve to fund operations. Staff is recommending changing this method to a percentage of operating expenditures. Council recently approved the General Fund and Measure N emergency reserve policy to increase to 30% of operating expenditures. Staff is requesting to amend the Measure T policy for the economic uncertainty fund to be 30% of operating expenditures instead of 25% of budgeted revenues.

Measure T Recertification and Maintenance of Effort Requirement Measure T is required to complete an annual recertification and maintenance of effort (MOE) calculation. The MOE is to ensure that the General Fund monies budgeted for Police and Fire Visalia City Council Printed on 6/14/2024Page 5 of 6

calculation. The MOE is to ensure that the General Fund monies budgeted for Police and Fire operations does not fall below the previous years’ service level. In the event of an economic emergency, the City Council may only alter this provision by a supermajority (4/5th’)vote. The City meets this calculation for FY 2024/25 as shown in Table 3: FY 2024/25 MOE Calculation.

Conclusion
Measure T has implemented the majority of the components of the expenditure plan. Previously, the City has taken steps to reduce ongoing operational costs as expenditures have exceeded revenues.

The 5-year projection shows revenues exceeding expenditures which results in cash balances increasing each year. This projection does not include an economic downturn, which would result in less revenues. At this time, staff recommends continuing with the plan and its amendments and will continue to monitor revenues and expenditures to assure that the funds remain in balance and can contribute to the public safety building. If the projection continues to be met, staff will return with recommendations to add to the plan.

Fiscal Year 2024-25 Rates and Fees - Public Hearing and Adoption of Resolution 2024-04 to authorize proposed new fees, increases, and adjustments to the City's Rates and Fees Schedule for Fiscal Year 2024-25.

Deadline for Action: 6/17/2024

Contact Name and Phone Number: Jana Ferguson 559-713-4429, [email protected]; Renee Nagel 559-713-4375, [email protected]
Department Recommendation:
· The City Council conducts a Public Hearing to receive testimony on additions/changes/deletions to the City’s Rates and Fees Schedule. · Adopt Resolution 2024-04 to amend the City’s fee document for the FY 2024-25; and · Take action on specific fees, if the Council desires, such as:
o Fees increased by CPI
o Fees increased by ENRCCI; and/or
o Individual fees
Background Discussion:

Annually all fees are recommended for cost of living adjustments for the upcoming fiscal year. City ordinances mandate annual Impact Fees and Business Tax adjustments to specific CPI indexes.

These annual inflationary adjustments help departments and capital projects cover costs.

Proposed new fees, increases exceeding the CPI, adjustments, and deletions to the fees include, but are not limited to the following services, animal services, business tax, building safety, public safety, parks and recreation, neighborhood preservation, airport, transit, and public works.

At the June 3, 2024, City Council meeting a question was raised about the Transit division’sCNG pricing. With this review, the Transit division would like to present an additional ADJUSTED FEE for consideration with the Rates & Fees for FY 24-25.

Enterprise Fees - Transit
The Transit division is proposing a new calculation for the public CNG station pricing (pg 74). This new pricing model includes the actual costs (fuel, transmission, electricity, and taxes and fees), administrative fees to cover staff time, and a small percentage markup to help offset the costs of current and future maintenance of the station. This calculation is a more stable method and is no longer reliant on a third party pricing structure. Our current price at the CNG station is $3.91 per GGE; with the proposed new pricing structure it would be $2.44 per GGE. If the Rates and Fees are Visalia City Council Printed on 6/14/2024Page 1 of 3

GGE; with the proposed new pricing structure it would be $2.44 per GGE. If the Rates and Fees are approved, this new pricing structure will go into effect on July 1, 2024, and the pricing will be based on our actual costs for the prior quarter (April-June 2024) and will be adjusted every quarter thereafter.

Staff requests that after taking input at the Public Hearing, the Council adopt the adjustments with Resolution 2024-04.

The basis for most fee adjustments for the City is the California Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CCPI-U). Impact Fees are required by the City ordinance to use the building industry standard index known as the Engineering News Record Construction Cost Index (ENRCCI).

Similarly, the City ordinance dictates that Business Tax be adjusted by the US City Average for All Items (USCPI-U) using the average of the most recent 3 years. Both Impact Fees and Business Tax fees are adjusted annually as directed by ordinance. The indexes and effective dates are listed in Table 1: Index Period Changes.

Administrative Policy and Procedures

PURPOSE
The purpose of this policy is to set forth the procedures for the review, revision, and approval of the city’s rates and fees.

POLICY

1. It shall be the policy of the City to establish fees and charges for City services, which reimburse the City for the associated services unless specified otherwise by the City Council.

2. All fees and charges shall be reviewed annually, or sooner, if needed, to ensure that they are adequate and correlate with their associated cost.

3. All fees and charges adopted herein shall be superseded by State or Federal legal requirements setting fees and charges if at diƯerent amounts.

PROCEDURES

1. Annually Finance shall request city departments to review their rates and fees and propose any adjustments.

2. Upon receipt of the requested adjustments, Finance shall review them to ensure that they comply with the City Council’s policy for reimbursement of the associated costs.

3. Upon completion of this review, the proposed new rates and fees shall be reviewed by the appropriate advisory Committee or Commission and forwarded by Finance to the City Manager for final review and approval prior to being submitted to the City Council.

4. After review and approval by the City Manager, the new rates and fees shall be identified in the Rates and Fees Resolution.

5. The rates and fees shall be used to estimate revenues for specific City programs as requested in the proposed upcoming budget.

6. The Public Hearing on the proposed rates and fees, if required, shall be scheduled at a regular City Council meeting.

7. Generally, all adjustments to the city’s rates and fees are to be considered at one time prior to the review and adoption of the budget. Changes in some rates and fees become eƯective at a date other than the first day of the new fiscal year. See EƯective Date below for details.

8. Should new services or documents become available during the year, the new rate(s) or fee(s) may be developed and implemented using the same criteria as similar rates or fees. These new items would then be included in the next review if continued use is anticipated.

BASIS FOR ADJUSTMENTS

1. Generally, adjustments to rates and fees are based on established annual indexes including the following:
a. California Consumer Price Index (CCPI)
b. Engineering News Record Construction Costs Index (ENRCCI) c. U.S. Consumer Price Index – Urban Consumers (CPI-U)

2. In addition to these indexes, some rates and fees are also adjusted using other bases to determine fees. For example, the following bases are also used in limited cases to adjust rates and fees:
472

2 a. Cost of providing service
b. Cost reimbursement
c. Survey of fees from surrounding communities
d. Special surcharges due to specific costs
e. Subsidy by the General Fund
f. Rounding

3. Certain rates and fees may not be required to be adjusted. For example, if an Enterprise Fund can continue to fund operations without an increase, none will be recommended.

EFFECTIVE DATES

1. Adjustments to rates and fees generally become eƯective on the first day of the next fiscal year. (e.g. General Fund and Enterprise Funds)

2. Adjustments to Impact Fees are eƯective 60 days after the date of the Public Hearing in which the new rates were adopted.

3. In certain circumstances, a rate or fee may be brought before the Council and adjustments adopted during the fiscal year for immediate change or changes over a specified number of years.

3 Parks and Recreation Department
Fee Policy

BACKGROUND
The Parks and Recreation Department wishes to provide meaningful recreational opportunities to meet the physical, cultural, mental, and economic needs of the citizens of Visalia. It is our desire to enhance the quality of life in Visalia by providing open space, recreation facilities, and programs for all citizens. Providing an array of quality recreational opportunities is an increasingly complex task due to 1) demands for new expanded services, 2) demands to retain older services, 3) increases in operating expenses, and 4) priorities of allocating limited City General Fund dollars. Fiscal responsibility mandates the adoption of a sound and consistent fee and charge policy that will guide the generation of revenue to supplement the General Fund’s support of Parks and Recreation programs and services.

Fiscal goals of the Parks and Recreation Department include:
 To become less dependent on tax support from the City and to become more self-suƯicient.  To substantially increase the proportion of the services and operations funded through user fees. The department will make a concerted eƯort to track its costs for facilities and operations and ensure program costs are better covered by fees charged.
 To view programs and services more as an enterprise. Even though the department is a public agency, the City of Visalia is limited by the funds it can provide for all services, let alone those not viewed as essential by many taxpayers.
 In order to continue as a vital, progressive agency in the community, we need to adopt a more entrepreneurial, business-like, and fiscally aware approach to our operations.

STATEMENT OF PHILOSOPHY
The philosophy of the City of Visalia Parks and Recreation Department is to oƯer year-round, diversified Parks and Recreation programs and services, at reasonable and equitable rates designed to meet the needs of the citizens of Visalia. Fees and charges will be viewed as a method to equitably provide and expand services without an inordinate impact on the General Fund while ensuring where fees are implemented, they are kept at a fair market value in order to encourage participation. Because the demand for services is greater than the municipality’s ability to appropriate funds to support the demand, it becomes necessary to charge new fees, increase some existing fees, and pursue additional supplementary revenues and resources.

Fees and charges for parks, recreation, and cultural services will provide only one source of funding for the department. Other sources will include General Fund appropriations, grants, sponsorships, special gifts, donations, and in-kind contributions.

VISALIA’S PRICE MODEL
The Parks and Recreation Department will follow a cost recovery method based on benefits. This model utilizes General Fund dollars for programs, services, and facilities that benefit the community as a whole and allows for user fees to support programs and services that focus on benefits to individuals. Attachment A shows our Cost Recovery Pyramid with the following categories to be used to set program fees based on cost recovery rates.
474

4 Category A: Community Benefit – programs, facilities, and services that benefit the community as a whole.

These programs, facilities, and services can increase property values, provide safety, address social needs, and enhance the quality of life for residents. The community pays for these basic services and facilities through taxes and may utilize free of charge. Such programs or services can include parks and open spaces, educational programs, health and wellness activities, community-wide special events, family activities, and gang prevention programs.

Examples of current programs in this area:

Parks, open spaces, and trails
Community-wide Special Events – Egg Hunt, Dia de Los Ninos, Tamale Festival Family Walks
Manuel F . Hernandez Community Center Drop-In Program
The Loop

Category B: Community/Individual Benefit – programs, facilities, and services that promote individual physical and mental well-being and provide recreation skill development. These are the more traditionally expected services and beginner instructional levels. These programs, services, and facilities are typically assigned fees based on a specified percentage of direct and indirect costs. These costs are partially oƯset by both a tax subsidy to account for the Community Benefit and participant fees to account for the Individual Benefit. Programs, facilities, and services in this tier shall recover 50% of direct program costs.

Examples of current programs in this area:

Youth Sports – baseball, soccer, basketball, volleyball Tiny Tot Sports
Public Swim
Swim Lessons
Senior Meal Program
Senior Citizen programs & classes

Fee Example – Youth Basketball

Coach/OƯicial Training 800
Facility Rental 7,000

Equipment 6,000
Awards 2,000
Advertising 1,500
Total $ 52,300
425 Participants ($52,300/425) 123.06
50% Cost Recovery $ 61.53 Fee

Category C: Individual/Community Benefit – Services that promote individual physical and mental well- being and provide an intermediate level of recreational skill development. This level provides more Individual 475

5 Benefit and less Community Benefit and should be priced to reflect this. Programs and services in this category shall recover 75% of direct program costs.

Examples of current programs in this area:

Day Camps
Enrichment Classes – dance, art, martial arts, and music After School Activity Program
Tiny Tots Pre-School Program

Fee Example – Tiny Tot Pre-School
Expenses
StaƯing $ 480
Equipment & Supplies 200
Total $ 680
15 Students ($680/15) 45.33
75% Cost Recovery $ 34.00 Fee

Category D: Mostly Individual Benefit – Specialized services generally for specific groups and may have a competitive focus. In this category, programs and services may be priced to recover 100% of direct costs.

Examples of current programs in this area:

Father/Daughter Dance
Specialty Camps & Sports Camps
Kendo
Adult Sports – soccer, softball, basketball, volleyball Swim Teams
Diving Classes

Fee Example – Adult Volleyball
Expenses
Hourly StaƯ $ 800
Equipment 600
Awards 400
Gym Rental 1,800
Total $ 3,600
18 Teams ($3,600/18) $ 200
100% Cost Recovery $ 200 per Team Fee

Category E: Highly Individual Benefit – Programs or services that have a higher revenue potential and may fall outside of the core mission. In this category, programs and services are priced to cover all direct and indirect costs. Examples of this include elite athletic programs, food concessions, and trips.

Examples of current programs in this area:

Haunted House
Photos at the Mall
Bus Trips
476

6 Certification Courses
ViTri Triathalon

DETERMINING FEES FOR PROGRAMS
The Parks and Recreation Department will work to recover a percentage of or all Direct Program Costs. The following describes factors that are considered to calculate direct costs.  Part-time, Hourly, and Contractual StaƯ – leaders, instructors, oƯicials, and scorekeepers, including hourly benefit cost of 5.85%.
 Equipment – including stage, light rental, tables, chairs, sound systems, and other such items.  Supply/Materials – awards, balls, crafts, tickets, certificates, videos, copies, etc.  Maintenance/Custodial – building attendants, facility opening and closing, maintenance issues directly related to the program.
 Maintenance Supplies/Materials – maintenance and/or custodial supplies needed specific to the operation of the program or activity.
 Membership/Training – memberships, subscriptions, training specific to a program or activity.  Special Insurance – special event or food product liability insurance  Security – contract security or Police Department charges  Marketing – newspaper, radio, flyers, posters
 Program Discounts, Scholarships
 Transportation – bus rental, transit tickets
 Postage
 Equipment Purchases – total cost of equipment purchased divided by the number of years of life expectancy of equipment.

DIFFERENTIAL FEES, VARIANCES, AND FEE WAIVERS
It is understood that on occasion special circumstances may be needed in determining fees for groups or individuals having circumstances uncommon to those in the fee structure criteria. In these cases, the Parks and Recreation Commission will be the approving party for all requests. Requests for a variance shall be submitted in writing to the Parks and Recreation Commission 60 days prior to the date of use.

FEE REVIEW AND OVERSIGHT
The Parks and Recreation Commission shall review and provide oversight of specific program and/or activity fees and charges. Such review shall take place at least bi-annually during a regularly scheduled Park and Recreation Commission meeting.

Department Recommendation:

It is recommended 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 2024-25.

Background Discussion:

Annually, all City’s fees, except Impact Fees and Business Tax, are reviewed for annual cost of living adjustments for the upcoming fiscal year. 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. Per City ordinances, Impact Fees and Business Tax fees are adjusted annually by specific CPI indices.

There are two meetings to review the Rates and Fees for Fiscal Year 2024-25. The first meeting, on June 3rd, 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 17th, is to conduct a Public Hearing and take action to adopt the City’s Rates and Fees Schedule for Fiscal Year 2024-25. If approved, the effective date is July 1, 2024, for all rates and fees except Impact Fees which require a 60-day notice making the effective date for these fees August 17, 2024.

Fee increases are based on established indexes. 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 ordinanc e to use a building industry 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 most recent 3 years. Both Impact Fees and Business Tax fees are adjusted annually as directed by ordinance. Each Index and the fee effective date are listed in Table 1:

Proposed Index Period Changes.

546

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), an d USCPI-U (Business Tax fees) are not listed in the staff report. These rates and fees are listed in the Proposed Rates and Fees FY 2024 -25 document which is attached. For comparison purposes, the document includes the current fiscal year’s rates and fees.

Throughout the Rates and Fees document, there are times when 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 such as 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 Passport Application Fees (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 being increased as in the case of Sidewalk and Drive Approach Improvements 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 per the department’s recommendation.

For instance, a department may want to remain competitive within their industry so an increase in fees could be detrimental to their business. Some departments use set guidelines for service offerings and pricing. As an example, The Parks & Recreation department has set a policy and philosophy for the way they calculate all program fees.

The overriding goal of this policy is to offer year-round, diversified programs and services at reasonable and equitable rates. This policy and philosophy are examined and adjusted as needed to stay up to date. The Parks & Recreation Department is currently experiencing a vacancy in the Department Head position, so there are no policy changes with the publishing of this document, but as the interim Department Head and eventual, new Department Head work with staff, it is anticipated that this policy and philosophy will be updated and presented to Council later this year.
 In addition, a department may hold off on increasing or changing fees to better examine the basis on which their fees are determined. The Building Safety Division is a department that felt they needed such review and therefore has no changes this year except for the addition of new, adjusted, and deleted fees as outlined in this staff report. For the eighth consecutive year, the Building Safety Division has completed an analysis of its fees and is not recommending an increase of permit fees for fiscal year 2024 -25 as the Building Safety Division continues to maintain a positive fund balance. The Building Safety division was recently consolidated with Engineering to become the new Engineering and Building Department, overseen by a new director. The department is moving forward with an RFP for a consultant to conduct a comprehensive fee study in fiscal year 2024 -25. The 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, or edited . It is important to note that while fees have been frozen for many years, the division is operating at optimum levels and is not in a budget deficit condition. As such, a comprehensive fee study is not anticipated to suggest excessive fee increases. In al l cases, any future fee adjustments will ensure appropriate annual increases so as not to negatively impact the community.

NEW FEES

The following are proposed new fees for the upcoming fiscal year, effective July 1, 2024.

Note: The page numbers referenced for each fee refer to the page number in the Proposed Rates & Fees Document, which is attached.

Enterprise Fees – Animal Services
Animal Services received the California All Animals grant from UC Davis which provides animal tags to citizens reclaiming or adopting pets to help keep them united in the future. The cost for a resident to purchase an Engraved Dog Tag (pg. 45) has been added. This service allows Animal Services to ensure that our citizens have everything they need for their newly adop ted or reclaimed pets. While the proposed cost for the engraved tags does not fully cover employee and product costs, the rate has been chosen to keep the City competitive with other vendors offering this service and recognizing the fact that the time spent in the field by our Animal Control officers will be decreased with the presence of animals with these identifying tags making it easier to locate pet owners and reunite them with their animals, therefore creating saving costs for the 548

division. This process could also lead to fewer animals in our shelter waiting to be reunited with their owners.

Animal Services occasionally sees the intake of animals beyond cats and dogs. These have been received with no existing Adoption (pg. 45) rates. The proposed rates are based on the same cost factors as our current adoption rates without the additional vaccination fees since vaccinations aren’t given for animals in these new categories.

Enterprise Fees - Building Safety
A new ti ered fee for Photovoltaic Systems (pg. 48) has been added for plan check and inspection to include Residential systems that applied for their permit using SolarApp+. The SolarApp+ permit is a new record type required by the State of California in order to ensure solar permit applications are processed as quickly as possible. This system was required to go into effect no later than September 30, 2023, which the City successfully met. The SolarApp+ permit is processed through a 3rd party plan review system and bypasses the City’s traditional plan check process. Instead, the COV Building Inspection team utilizes an inspection checklist, provided by the SolarApp+ 3rd party system to review and inspect the solar system being installed in the field.

The fees assoc iated with the SolarApp+ permit have been reduced to coincide with a reduced plan check process; the plan check fee is half of the normal plan review fee for a residential solar permit.

There is a new fee for EV Charger Systems (pg 48) this year. The 2023 California Building Code update has increased the requirements for Electric Vehicle Charging (EVC) systems. In order to better assess fees on EVC systems greater than six (6) chargers, the Building Safety division is proposing to charge plan review and inspection fees commensurate with the hours spent in plan review and inspection for these systems on a “per charger” basis.

Enterprise Fees – Transit
A new discounted fee for the 31 Day TPASS - ADA Certified/Senior/Disabled/Military (pg. 72) has been approved by the Tulare County Association of Governments (TCAG). The TPASS fees are determined by TCAG and are included in our Rates & Fees because the passes are available to purchase at our Transit Center. The passes are good for the Visalia Transit and TCRTA buses.

This discount has been available with all other ticket purchases, but until now, was not available for the 31-day pass.

FEE INCREASES EXCEEDING CPI

Business Tax - General Fund
The annual increases, authorized by City ordinances, are based on the three-year average of the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) - U.S. City Average which is 5.61%. The following Business Tax Fees (pg. 11-12) have been increased above the CPI due to rounding to the nearest dollar for cash handling purposes. The rate increases range from 5.64% to 5.88% and amounts over CPI range from $0.08 to $0.46.

Neighborhood Preservation – General Fund
The Special Events Application Fee (pg. 25) is increasing because this fee technically issues an Encroachment Permit to the requestor which is a fee set by the Planning and Community Preservation Department for any type of encroachment. The fees have not matched in the past years and this change is being proposed now for consistency. The rate increases 41.38% and $26.48 over the CPI increase.

Parks & Recreation – General Fund
The Parks & Recreation management team took an in -depth look at the calculation factors for Indoor Facility Fees (pg. 18) and have made some adjustments. Capacities were evaluated and corrected to provide renters with more accurate numbers when selecting a facility. These rates are calculated and based on each facility's capacity and available amenities. The proposed rates are based on an increased per-person rate from $0.25 to $0.35. This rate has not increased since fiscal year 2018 -19 and accounts for increased costs associated with rentals, i.e. utilities and equipment wear and tear or replacement. Labor costs have increased, reflecting a wage increase for building attendants from $16.00 to $19.16 per hour. This is a fully loaded cost covering hourly rate, deferred compensation, FICA, and worker’s compensation rates. Rates have also been rounded to the nearest $0.50 or $1.00. The rate increases range from 10.11% to 44.00% and amounts over CPI range from $0.79 to $24.89

The fees for Park Athletic Court (pg. 19) rentals have not been increased since fiscal year 2018-

19. The increased fees will assist in coveri ng the costs of maintaining the courts. The rate increases range from 6.67% to 20.00% and amounts over CPI range from $0.41 to $0.80.

The Pool Rental (pg. 20) rates are proposed to increase above the CPI because 3 of the 4 pools are no longer under contract with VUSD resulting in cost increases to the City. The one pool still under contract has very limited City of Visalia availability and is unavailable for private rentals.

The rates now take into account the VUSD rental rate, VUSD custodian charges, and lifeguard wage increases. The rate increases range from 25.00% to 60.26% and amounts over CPI range from $30.00 to $95.00.

Fire – General Fund
The Engine/Pumper and Fire Truck Fees (pg. 26) have been adjusted to reflect the cost of service. The increases have been taken directly from the FEMA Schedule of Equipment Rates.

Sidewalk and Drive Approach Improvements – General Fund Sidewalk and Drive Approach Improvements (pg. 29) are performed by an outside contractor to City standards. These services are available to the public when work is required to be done on their property, but they do not want to hire a contractor on their own.

the expense on the T ax Roll, when our contractor is used, so residents can pay for the improvements over time. The cost for each improvement type is directly linked to the contracted rates. A new contract was issued in late June 2023 and the costs for each improvement exceed the standard CPI increase as these costs are now at Prevailing Wage as noted in the staff report dated May 15, 2023, when the contract was presented to Council for approval.

Enterprise Fees - Airport
The Heavy Appliance Electricity Surcharge (pg. 44) is proposed to increase slightly over CPI due to rounding to the nearest dollar for cash handling purposes. The increase represents a

4.44% increase which is $0.23 above CPI.

Enterprise Fees – Solid Waste
The Replacement of Damaged/Burnt Cans/Bins (pg. 67) has several size bins that are increasing in cost. The new base costs are based on our latest purchase prices. This fee is listed to be the “actual replacement cost to the City” and includes the bin cost, sales tax, and shipping plus ½ h our of staff and vehicle time. The rate increases range from 13.39% to 19.65% and amounts over CPI range from $110.16 to $705.58.

The following are the proposed fees that have been adjusted by less than the annual CPI, have been reduced or increased to better reflect service and cost, have increased or decreased based on the City’s salary and benefit changes, or have a change in the fee description.

Parks & Recreation – General Fund
The Parks & Recreation team took an in-depth look at the calculation factors for the various rental opportunities. Several factors were adjusted including capacities, whether it was looking at truing up indoor seating capacities or visiting each park to ge t an accurate count of available tables; these changes resulted in some increased costs (listed above in rates exceeding CPI) while others created a reduction in rental rates.

Picnic Area (pg. 16-17) capacities were evaluated and corrected to provide ren ters with more accurate numbers for use in selecting a facility. This resulted in a reduction in rates for several parks.

Indoor Facility Fees (pg. 18) capacities were evaluated and corrected to provide renters with more accurate numbers for use in selecting a facility. This resulted in a reduction in rates for two facilities.

Athletic & Miscellaneous Facility Fees (pg. 19-20) the Parks & Rec staff looked at these fees in comparison to the Picnic Areas and Indoor Facility Fees and decided that the Non -Profit discount of 20% and the Commercial upcharge of 20% should be added to these facilities. This provides consistency with all Park and Recreation facility rentals. They also realized the need to have a fee assigned to Tournament use of any of the Athletic & Miscellaneous Facilities.

Tournaments traditionally have a greater toll on athletic fields and the surrounding park facilities.

Staff researched other agencies to see what the fair Tournament rate up -charge may be and determined that 30% of the Commercial rate would allow the City to cover expenses, but not deter organizations from using our facilities. They are a lso asking to apply “pass-through” charges for services such as increased janitorial and trash pickup if deemed necessary.

Tournaments inherently have a greater toll on athletic fields and City amenities in a park. Additional fees will be assessed based on the size and scope of the event. These fees may include requiring the organizer to reserve other park amenities, additional staff to support the influx of park users, janitorial services, trash services, etc. Organizer may be required to provide, at their own cost, additional amenities such as portable restrooms and trash/recycling receptacles and dumpsters; if required organizer must provide proof of receipt before permit is finalized.

Enterprise Fees - Building Safety
The wording for Temporary Electrical Sales Lots (pg. 48) has been changed to be more descriptive of sales lot situations versus limiting the fee to only Christmas tree lots . This fee is used in conjunction with the issuance of a Temporary Conditional Use Permit (TCUP) and covers the cost of the inspection of the electrical set up. Once the TCUP has expired, a new inspection would be required with any new TCUP. The fee has been applied to all types of Temporary Sales Lots, so this change cleans up the verbiage to allow a better understanding for the publ ic and those wishing to host temporary businesses in need of electricity.

Enterprise Fees - Solid Waste
The Special Service – Additional Service – Bin Roll Out (pg. 65) the listed fee is being changed to more accurately reflect the full service fee that is charged. The fee of $2.90 is charged for each direction the bin is moved over 20 feet and the service is always done in both directions (from near the dwelling to the curb and back again) so the resulting charge for the service is $5.80. By listing the charge as $5.80 the division is hoping to alleviate any misunderstanding.

The Replacement of Damaged/Burnt Cans/Bins (pg. 67) cost for the 40-yard bin is decreasing based on our most recent purchase invoice in July of 2023. This fee is listed to be the “actual replacement cost to the City” and includes the bin cost, sales tax, and shipping plus ½ hour of staff and vehicle time.

DELETED FEES

Business Tax - General Fund (pg. 12)
Distribution of Printed Matter Fees are being deleted because Section 9.24.010 of the Municipal Code strictly prohibits the distribution of printed matter.

Sidewalk & Drive Approach Improvements – General Fund (pg. 29) The fee below is being eliminated because it is not a service included in the City contract and is no longer a service we offer to the public through our contractor.

Parks & Recreation – General Fund (pg. 16)
The rental of the Community Campus located at 300 NW 3rd Ave., has been removed. This park is part of a Lighting and Landscape area and is not eligible for reservations.

Enterprise Fees – Solid Waste (pg. 67)
The City Owned Enclosure Fee is being removed because of its redundancy. It refers to the cost of cleaning the enclosures, however, those costs are listed just above with the cleaning rates for all enclosures.

The costs for Replacement of Damaged/Burnt Cans/Bins for 8-yard and 10-yard bins are being removed. Staff has decided to eliminate these two bin sizes from our inventory and they will no longer be available for replacement. A few are remaining in service, however, when those need to be replaced the customer will be guided to select a new size.

Enterprise Fees – Transit (pgs. 72 & 73)
The Topper/Header Only advertising option has been removed as an advertising opportunity.

This was an advertising location that our previous marketing partner suggested. Our new team has suggested that we remove this option because it is a very small portion of the vehicle, and the space is currently included with the King Kong, Queen Kong, and Full Wrap options.

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 2024-25 is 5.61%. These fees will be in effect on July 1, 2024.

Impact Fees
The ordinance that approved cost of living increases for impact fees is based upon the Engineering and News Record Construction Cost Index (ENRCCI). The index applicable to Fiscal Year 2024-25 is 6.07%. These fees require a sixty-day notice and will be in effect on Aug 17, 2024.

Fiscal Impact:

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

Prior Council Action: The Council reviewed and approved new fees and adjustments to the Rates and Fees on June 19, 2023, for Fiscal Year 2023-24.

Other: The following committees and commissions have reviewed the proposed rate and fee adjustments and recommend to the City Council the adoption of the adjustments to the City’s Rates and Fees for Fiscal Year 2024-25.

File #: 24-0252 Agenda Date: 6/17/2024 Agenda #: 5.

Agenda Item Wording:

Logo Discussion - Continued logo discussion and direction regarding community process on redesign.

Deadline for Action: 6/17/2024
Submitting Department: Administration
Contact Name and Phone Number: Allison M. Mackey, Communications Manager, (559) 713-4535 Department Recommendation: It is recommended that the Visalia City Council review possible next steps of the logo redesign process and provide direction regarding the community driven redesign, submission, and review process.

Background Discussion:

At the June 3, 2024 meeting, the Visalia City Council received a presentation from City staff on the brand refresh and logo process. As part of the discussion, Council received public comment and then moved and voted to move forward with option three and five from the Agenda Item staff report.

Those were: 3) Retain or modify the current logo to be used when the medium being utilized warrants it and retain the previous logo as a Legacy Logo that would be utilized in situations where it can be appropriately displayed and it’s detail clearly noted and 5) Open the brand refresh logo design process again and create a process wherein local artists/graphic designers can submit designs (that align with the requirements of a scope of work/design), have those designs reviewed by a panel of local graphic and marketing professionals, with a selection of final logos presented to the community to be voted on via community meetings or digital voting methods. The Council could then consider the results and make a final selection.

City staff notes that as Staff waits for further direction, the rollout of the new logo on vehicles, banners, brochures, uniforms, and other items continues to be paused. No new items have been purchased, ordered, or implemented with any new logo since May 20.

Next Steps
City staff are now seeking Council direction on the re-opening the brand refresh logo design process.

Staff is recommending an accelerated submittal and review process for a revised logo. The reasons for this include, but are not limited to, the fact that the City has been in transition with the new logo for several months and the purchase of items, such as uniforms, letterhead, vehicle logos, etc. are on hold but are needed for operations, the mission, vision, and other items of the brand refresh already completed and available for review, and, perhaps most importantly, because there is energy and Visalia City Council Printed on 6/14/2024Page 1 of 5

interest in the logo now that should be capitalized on while it at top of mind for many people.

However, if Council prefers a design and review timeline that provides for more community processing, staff can return with a more robust process for Committee and Community review.

Staff recommends Council consider the following steps:
1) Identifying a timeline for the brand refresh logo design process. This may include, but not be limited to:
a. Council each appointing one or two representative(s) to sit on the City of Visalia Brand Refresh Logo Redesign Committee, a Committee that will review the design guidelines set forth, review all submissions and then make recommendations to the City Council. b. Open the Brand Refresh Logo Redesign Process on Tuesday, June 18 with announcement to the community through press release, website and social media posts.
i. Work with community partners including the Arts Consortium, Arts Visalia, the Visalia Chamber of Commerce and the Tulare Kings Hispanic Chamber of Commerce to share details of this logo redesign process. c. Provide a submission period open from Tuesday, June 18 through Tuesday, July 2 at 5 p.m., in which time all submissions can be emailed to [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> or copies/files can be dropped off at City of Visalia Administration office, 220 N. Santa Fe and/or dropped off in the drop box at the front entrance of that Santa Fe facility.
d. Direct the City of Visalia Brand Refresh Logo Design Committee to meet no later than Thursday, July 11, 2024 (with proposed meeting dates on Monday, July 8 and, if needed, Wednesday, July 9), to review submissions and provide three to five logos that meet the guidelines, along with formal feedback and recommendations to the staff, for further action and preparation for the community feedback period. e. Provide a public comment feedback period from Monday, July 15, 2024 through Friday, July 26, 2024 during which time community members can provide feedback via comment on each of the presented logos.
f. Receive the results of the City of Visalia Brand Refresh Logo Design Committee and public feedback via agenda item and staff report at the Monday, August 5, 2024 City Council meeting and vote on the new City of Visalia Brand Refresh logo. 2) Drafting guidelines for logo submissions
a. These may include, but not be limited to:
i. All submissions must be received by Tuesday, July 9, 2024 by 5 p.m. in order to be considered.
ii.All submissions must be accompanied the logo redesign process submission form that will be available on line. (This form is still being developed and will not be fully operational until Tuesday, June 18, 2024.)
iii. All submissions must be original artwork that is owned by the submitter, and not include any copyrighted images. Any fonts used must be publicly available or of custom design. All submissions received remain the property of the submitter and any artwork submitted, unless chosen as the final, approved logo, will remain the sole property of the submitter/designer. iv. Submissions will be assigned a number and will be only known, reviewed, and referred to as their logo number, until such time that the final logo is chosen Visalia City Council Printed on 6/14/2024Page 2 of 5

and the artist elects to have their name announced. Any logo submitted that becomes identified with the artist prior to release of the artist name(s) by the City may be withdrawn from the process.
v. The final logo chosen by the City Council will become property of the City.

If submitter and City cannot agree to the terms under which the submitter will transfer its rights, title and interest in the artwork submitted, then another submission will be selected.
vi. Logo Designs Should Be Appropriate for the City

1. Any logo design should elevate the City of Visalia brand, enabling it to communicate about the organization and community.
ii.Logo should be a reimagining of the Breaking Through the V logo

1. Logo should employ the strong V design element clearly visible in the “Breaking Through the V” logo created.

2. Submitters are encouraged to enhance or update the graphics housed within the strong V.

3. The word Visalia should be clearly evident in or at the bottom of the logo. iii. Logo Designs Should Be Simple and Modern

1. The logo should aim to meet the criteria set forth in the feedback received, as well as abide by industry design principles. A simple logo is easier to recognize, remember and reproduce while conveying a clear and consistent message.
iv. Logo Designs Should Be Versatile and Scalable

1. The logo will need to work in a variety of mediums, ranging from small, digital icons to printed letterhead to embroidered staff shirts to 10-foot billboards.

2. The logo will need to be able to have its colors translated to the Pantone Matching System (PMS) and ultimately the PMS Color Bridge. This is to ensure consistent color results in every application.
v. Logo Designs Should Include Quality Typeface

1. The logo typeface should be distinct and contribute to a brand mark. The typeface should be legible, appropriate and complimentary. vi. Logo Design Color

1. All submissions must be submitted in both black and white and color.

2. The logo should include at least two colors, ideally no more than five.

Colors should be limited, harmonious and meaningful. Any shade variation of a color will be considered its own, stand-alone color. For example, varying shades of yellow will be considered their own, specific color.

3. The logo should not rely solely on its hue, and should also work in grayscale, black or white.
vii. Logo Design Space

1. The logo should be designed in a way that is balanced, organized and expressive. Clever techniques such as negative space or hidden meanings, when appropriate, can be used.

Considerable time and money has been spent on the assts that were developed as part of this process. Staff would also recommend that any logo change be such that it could be readily adapted into the current asset formats, and the guidelines recommended should help integrate the revised Visalia City Council Printed on 6/14/2024Page 3 of 5

logo into assets in place.

Additionally, staff recommend that the City Council determine appropriate compensation for the winning submission, in the form of scholarship or payment for services rendered through the design and submission process. The Council may want to set an amount, or ask the Brand Refresh Logo Design Committee to make a recommendation on a prize amount.

Fiscal Impact:

Unknown, dependent on Council direction on awarding or compensating submitter of the chosen logo. The selected logo may also require adaptation into a vector file or revisions to fully meet the guidelines that may require the skills of a professional graphic artist.

Prior Council Action: June 3, 2024 - Council received staff presentation and voted to 3) Retain or modify the current logo to be used when the medium being utilized warrants it, and retain the previous logo as a Legacy Logo that would be utilized in situations where it can be appropriately displayed and its detail clearly denoted and 5) Open the brand refresh logo design process again and create a process wherein local artists/graphic designers can submit designs, (that align with the requirements of a scope of work/design), have those designs reviewed by a panel of local graphic and marketing professionals, with a selection of final logos presented to the community to be voted on via community meetings or digital voting methods.

Agenda Item Wording:

Change of Terms and Conditions - Authorize Changes to Terms and Conditions of Employment by and between the City of Visalia and City Manager.

Deadline for Action: 6/17/2024
Submitting Department: Administration
Contact Name and Phone Number: Diane Davis, 713-4575
Department Recommendation:

Approve changes to terms and conditions of employment for the City Manager and authorize the Mayor to sign an amendment to the City Manager Employment Agreement effective the pay period including July 1, 2024, reflecting a 6% salary increase and experience pay of 8% commensurate with 28 years of full-time City service.

Background Discussion:

Leslie Caviglia was appointed City Manager on September 4, 2021 and entered into an Employment Agreement at that time. Per Section 3A of the Employment Agreement, the City may from time-to- time adjust the City Manager’s salary during the term of the agreement. Historically, Council has authorized comparable compensation and benefit changes for the City Manager as it has for the unrepresented department head bargaining group.

Recently Council authorized a 6% base wage increase for the unrepresented department head group, and experience pay for miscellaneous department head employees based on number of years of City/government service with 2% at each of the following milestones: 5 years, 10 years, 15 years and 20 years. City Manager Leslie Caviglia has over 28 years of experience with the City of Visalia.

Consistent with the terms and conditions Council recently approved for the department head bargaining group, it is recommended that Council approve a 6% wage increase and 8% experience pay for the City Manager effective the pay period that includes July 1, 2024.

Fiscal Impact:

Wage increase of $14,050 (from $234,159 to $248,209 annually) and $19,857 experience pay.
