It is the intent of the parties that Contractor will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless City and its officers, agents, employees, and assigns, from any and all claims, demands, costs, suits or actions as set forth above regardless of the existence of passive concurrent negligence, on the part of the City or anyone acting under its direction or control or on its behalf. It is further the intent of the parties that this indemnification required is not intended to relieve City from liability for the active negligence of City, its officers, agency and employees.

This indemnity and hold harmless provision, insofar as it may be adjudged to be against public policy, shall be void and unenforceable only to the minimum extent necessary so that the remaining terms of this indemnity and hold harmless provision may be within public policy and enforceable.

In an emergency affecting the safety of life or limb, work site, or any property, the Contractor is hereby permitted and directed to act at their discretion to prevent such threatened loss of injury, and in the event any instructions are given by the City of Visalia in any emergency, the Contractor shall unconditionally comply therewith.

and elected officials, officers, employees and agents as insureds; and (b) be primary with respect to any insurance or self-insurance programs maintained by the City; and (c) contain Standard cross liability provisions. Such additional insured endorsement maintained by Contractor and its subcontractors shall not be required to provide coverage for City for the active negligence of City.

Commercial Automobile Liability insurance with a combined single limit of not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence. Such insurance shall include coverage for owned, hired and non-owned automobiles and shall be provided by a business automobile policy.

Contractor shall furnish properly executed certificates of insurance to City prior to commencement of work under this agreement, such certificates shall:

Contractor shall replace such certificates for policies expiring prior to completion of work under this agreement and shall continue to furnish certificates 4 years beyond the contract term, when Contractor has a claims made form(s). If Contractor, for any reason, fails to maintain insurance coverage which is required pursuant to this agreement, the same shall be deemed a material breach of contract.

ARTICLE IV - It is further expressly agreed by and between the City and the Contractor that should there be any conflict between the terms of this instrument and the bid or proposal of said Contractor, then this instrument shall control and nothing herein shall be considered as an acceptance of the said terms of said proposal conflicting with this instrument.

Executive Order N-6-22 – Russia Sanctions - On March 4, 2022, Governor Gavin Newsom issued Executive Order N-6-22 (the EO) regarding Economic Sanctions against Russia and Russian entities and individuals. “Economic Sanctions” refers to sanctions imposed by the U.S. government in response to Russia’s actions in Ukraine, as well as any sanctions imposed under state law. The EO directs state agencies to terminate contracts with, and to refrain from entering any new contracts with, individuals or entities that are determined to be a target of Economic Sanctions.

The State shall provide Contractor advance written notice of such termination, allowing Contractor at least 30 calendar days to provide a written response. Termination shall be at the sole discretion of the State.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this agreement as of the date opposite their respective signatures.

File #: 25-0736 Agenda Date: 4/6/2026 Agenda #: 11.

Agenda Item Wording:

Approve revised resolution - Consider approval of revised Resolution No. 2026-08, per City Council adoption at the March 16, 2026 public hearing to uphold the appeal and overturn the Visalia Planning Commission's adoption of Condition of Approval No. 3, for Conditional Use Permit No. 2025 -32.

Agenda Date: 04/06/2026
Prepared by:

Colleen A. Moreno, Assistant Planner, [email protected], (559) 713-4031; Paul Bernal, Planning and Community Preservation Director, [email protected], (559) 713- 4025
Department Recommendation:

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the revised Resolution No. 2026-08, which reflects the decision of the City Council to uphold the appeal and overturn Planning Commission’s Condition of Approval No. 3, which limited the hours of operation of the drive-thru use for Conditional Use Permit No. 2025-32. The attached revised resolution includes the Conditions of Approval as originally presented to the Planning Commission on February 9, 2026.

Summary:

The attached Resolution No. 2026-08 is revised to reflect the decision of the City Council to uphold the appeal of the applicant and overturn the Planning Commission’s adoption of Condition of Approval No. 3, which limited the hours of operation of the proposed drive-thru use to cease operations by 10:00 P.M. daily for Conditional Use Permit (CUP) No. 2025-32. The resolution included with the March 16, 2026 staff report was written for denial of the appeal, and upholding Planning Commission’s approval of the CUP subject to the drive thru lane only being allowed to operate until 10:00 P.M.

The City Council’s action to uphold the appeal and thus allow the drive-thru hours to operate as proposed by the applicant (Exhibit “A”), requires that a new resolution reflecting Council’s approval must be prepared. The revised resolution includes all applicable conditions of project approval based on the conditions for conditional use permits in the City of Visalia.

Background Discussion:

The City Council conducted a public hearing on March 16, 2026, regarding the appeal of Planning Commission’s adoption of Condition of Approval No. 3, which limited the hours of operation of the proposed drive-thru of Conditional Use Permit No. 2025-32 to close at 10:00 P.M. every night of the week.

On February 18, 2026, staff received an appeal of the Planning Commission’s approval of CUP No. 2025-32, subject to Condition of Approval No. 3. The appeal was filed by Javi Maldonado, the applicant of the conditional use permit. The reason for the appeal was due to the limitation of the Visalia City Council Page 1 of 2 Printed on 3/24/2026
powered by Legistar™448
File #: 25-0736 Agenda Date: 4/6/2026 Agenda #: 11.
applicant of the conditional use permit. The reason for the appeal was due to the limitation of the hours of operation for the drive-thru use. The appellant contended that limiting the hours of the drivethru lane would negatively impact the business and was not consistent with other surrounding drivethrus, such as the Jack in the Box on West Caldwell Avenue and South Court Street that operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

The City Council, after receiving a staff presentation and public testimony, concluded that the limitation of hours was unnecessary based on the location of the project, existing ambient noise levels, and the existence of a block wall along the south property boundary of the existing residential uses to the north of the project site. Based on this, the City Council approved the motion to uphold the appeal and overturn Planning Commission’s adoption of Condition of Approval No. 3.

Fiscal Impact including annual maintenance and operating costs: None.

Prior Council Action:

At the March 16, 2026, City Council meeting, Council upheld the appeal of the applicant and overturned the Visalia Planning Commission’s adoption of Condition of Approval No. 3 for Conditional Use Permit No. 2025-32.

Alternatives: N/A
Recommended Motion (and Alternative Motions if expected):

I move to approve revised Resolution No. 2026-08, for Conditional Use Permit No. 2025-32.

Environmental Assessment Status: The project is Categorically Exempt under Section 15332 of the Guidelines for the Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Categorical Exemption No. 2025-58.

CEQA Review: The project is Categorically Exempt under Section 15332.

Agenda Date: 04/06/2026
Prepared by:

Danny Galindo, Public Works Manager, [email protected] , 713-4186 Nick Bartsch, Public Works Director, [email protected] ,713-4052 Department Recommendation: Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager to award a contract to VSS International, Inc. in the amount $1,573,325 for the construction of the fiscal year 2025-26 cape seal project (CIP 1410-72000/CP0247-999).

Summary:

RFB 25-26-33 for the fiscal year 2025-26 Cape Seal Project (CIP 1410-72000/CP0247-999) was advertised in the newspaper on January 23, 2026, posted on Bidnet, and notifications were sent to contractors who provide this service. On February 26, 2026, City staff opened (5) bids that were submitted for the project. The results are summarized below and are listed in the order from lowest to highest bid.

No. Contractor Location Bid
1 VSS International, Inc. West Sacramento, Ca $1,573,325 2 American Pavement Systems Modesto, Ca $1,690,556.34
3 Dryco Construction Freemont, Ca $1,726,726
4 Pavement Co. Sacramento, Ca $1,790,303.41

Public Works staff and the Public Works Inspector commented that VSS International previously performed quality work in a timely manner with excellent communication.

Background Discussion:

This project includes the application of cape seal to various streets identified in the City’s pavement management program. The work will be focused on specific streets throughout the City as shown in the attached map.

To increase the longevity of the pavement surface, it is necessary for the City to maintain the pavement of the streets properly and promptly. Applying cape seal treatments at this life-stage of the Visalia City Council Page 1 of 3 Printed on 3/30/2026

pavement of the streets properly and promptly. Applying cape seal treatments at this life-stage of the streets is beneficial as it extends the pavement life at a relatively inexpensive price. As streets deteriorate further, without this preventive maintenance, future maintenance becomes more expensive and time consuming.

The cape seal maintenance treatment must be performed with consideration to the public. Public outreach is required to notify the residents in the work zone and to provide expectations on the extents of traffic control to be performed. Cape seal consists of an application of a chip seal followed by a microsurfacing application onto the selected roadways. The chip seal consists of applying an asphalt-rubber seal binder combined with a heated application of aggregate cover material. After the chip seal has cured, the microsurfacing application is applied. This secondary application consists of a mixture of aggregate, emulsified asphalt, mineral filler, and other additives that creates a new drivable surface over the chip seal.

Prior to the chip seal process, the streets will be swept and prepared as necessary. The contractor will be required to provide access during the treatment process. The chip seal portion can be performed relatively quickly, 1-2 days depending on area, and provides a semi-finished surface which is typically opened within 24 hours following the treatment. Once the chip seal has cured, the roadway will be opened for 1-2 weeks until the microsurfacing is applied. During this time, the street will be swept again to remove excess aggregates left behind from the chip seal. Once the microsurfacing has been applied and been allowed to fully cure, the roadway is opened back up to the public within 24 hours typically. “No Parking” signs will be posted and flyers will be handed out to residents and businesses three (3) working days prior to beginning the cape seal work in the affected areas.

This project is funded solely using Measure N funds. The residents of Visalia passed Measure ‘N’ in November of 2016 to increase the City’s ability to perform street maintenance as one of its primary objectives (CP0247).

Fiscal Impact including annual maintenance and operating costs:

The Measure N Cape Seal Project for FY 2025-26 (CIP 1410-72000/CP0247-999) has a current budget of $1,901,089.

In each instance, the nature and extent of the work to be sublet shall be described.

The general Contractor to whom the contract is awarded will not be permitted, without the written consent of the Engineer, to substitute any person as subcontractor in place of the subcontractor designated in the original bid, or to permit any subcontract to be assigned or transferred, or to allow it to be performed by anyone other than the original subcontractor.

28 ARTICLE III - Contractor hereby agrees to indemnify and hold City and its officers, agents, employees and assigns, harmless from any liability imposed for injury (as defined by Government code 810.8), whether arising before or after completion of work hereunder, or in any manner directly or indirectly caused, occasioned or contributed to, or claimed to be caused, occasioned or contributed to, in whole or in part, by reason of any act or omission, including strict liability or negligence of Contractor, or of anyone acting under Contractor's direction or control or on its behalf, in connection with or incident to or arising out of the performance of this contract.

With respect to the performance of work under this agreement, the Contractor shall maintain and shall require all of its subcontractors to maintain insurance as described below.

Worker's Compensation insurance with statutory limits, and employer's liability insurance with limits of not less than $1,000,000 per accident.

Commercial General Liability insurance with a combined single limit of not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence. Such insurance shall include products/completed operations liability, owner's and Contractor's protective, blanket contractual liability, personal injury liability, broad form property damage coverage and explosion, collapse and underground hazard coverage.

Such 568
RFB 25-26-33, FY 25-26 CAPE SEAL PROJECT
29 additional insured endorsement maintained by Contractor and its subcontractors shall not be required to provide coverage for City for the active negligence of City.

Such insurance shall be maintained from the time work first commences until completion of the work under this Agreement if an occurrence policy form is used. If a claim made policy is used, coverage shall be maintained during the contract term and for a period extending 5 years beyond the contract date. Contractor shall replace such certificates for policies expiring prior to completion of work under this agreement and shall continue to furnish certificates 4 years beyond the contract term, when Contractor has a claim made form(s). If Contractor, for any reason, fails to maintain insurance coverage which is required pursuant to this agreement, the same shall be deemed a material breach of contract. City, at its sole option, may terminate this agreement and/or obtain damages from the Contractor resulting from said breach. Alternatively, City may purchase such required insurance coverage, and without further notice to Contractor, City may deduct from sums due to Contractor any premium costs advanced by City for such insurance.

This insuring provision, insofar as it may be adjudged to be against public policy or in violation of Insurance Code Section 11580.04, shall be void and unenforceable only to the minimum extent necessary so that the remaining terms of the insuring provisions herein may be within public policy and enforceable. 569
RFB 25-26-33, FY 25-26 CAPE SEAL PROJECT
30 ARTICLE IV - It is further expressly agreed by and between the City and the Contractor that should there be any conflict between the terms of this instrument and the bid or proposal of said Contractor, then this instrument shall control and nothing herein shall be considered as an acceptance of the said terms of said proposal conflicting with this instrument.

Executive Order N-6-22 – Russia Sanctions. On March 4, 2022, Governor Gavin Newsom issued Executive Order N-6-22 (the EO) regarding Economic Sanctions against Russia and Russian entities and individuals. “Economic Sanctions” refers to sanctions imposed by the U.S. government in response to Russia’s actions in Ukraine, as well as any sanctions imposed under state law. The EO directs state agencies to terminate contracts with, and to refrain from entering any new contracts with, individuals or entities that are determined to be a target of Economic Sanctions. Accordingly, should the State determine Contractor is a target of Economic Sanctions or is conducting prohibited transactions with sanctioned individuals or entities, that shall be grounds for termination of this agreement. The State shall provide Contractor advance written notice of such termination, allowing Contractor at least 30 calendar days to provide a written response. Termination shall be at the sole discretion of the State.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this agreement as of the date opposite their respective signatures.

Summary:

The Visalia Police Department has utilized unmanned aerial systems (UAS) for approximately eight years, primarily operating consumer-grade DJI Mavic drones assigned to individual pilots. In addition, the Department maintains two larger DJI Matrice drones equipped with FLIR cameras for nighttime and preplanned operations and DJI Avata drones for indoor operations. While these systems have supported UAS operations, pilots have identified several operational limitations.

The smaller DJI Mavic drones have limited flight times, particularly during summer months when extreme heat degrades battery performance and has resulted in in-flight failures. Additionally, these drones lack integrated thermal imaging capabilities, restricting their effectiveness during nighttime operations. Their consumer-grade construction has also raised durability concerns. Further, DJI drones are manufactured outside the United States and are subject to frequent design changes, requiring replacement of proprietary parts and batteries when models are updated.

The Department currently deploys one DJI Matrice 30T drone at each district substation, allowing pilots access to FLIR-equipped platform when needed. These drones provide superior imaging, thermal capability, and extended flight time, making them the most effective assets in the current fleet. Purchasing two additional drones with comparable capabilities will allow for more rapid deployment and improve situational awareness for on-scene first responders.

Staff had originally planned on replacing the current drones with like models. However, the intended replacements were no longer available, and the United States FCC has since banned the use of foreign-made drones for replacement or new UAS platforms for use in law enforcement. Replacing the smaller DUI drones with law-enforcement-specific Skydio X10 drones, manufactured in the Visalia City Council Page 1 of 3 Printed on 4/2/2026

File #: 25-0738 Agenda Date: 4/6/2026 Agenda #: 13.
the smaller DUI drones with law-enforcement-specific Skydio X10 drones, manufactured in the United States, will provide capabilities consistent with the Matrice 30T while allowing more rapid deployment and remaining compliant with new federal guidelines. Additionally, the Skydio X10 drone platform is the superior law enforcement drone. The chassis design allows for hardware and software upgrades while maintaining its original chassis. This allows for drone technology to evolve as technology and advancements advance without the cost of purchasing a new drone. Additionally, their advanced imaging and flight performance will enhance situational awareness and improve officer and public safety.

This shift in drone technology has changed the operational deployment strategy for the department.

Instead of permanently assigning drones to each individual drone operator, these drones will now be issued to trained officers at the start of each shift and deployed as incidents require. The proposed deployment model will support a range of operations and units. Drones are used to assist in tracking subjects fleeing from officers, assisting members of the HOPE team in identifying encampments in areas not easily visible, and help to provide enhanced situational awareness during high-risk arrest details handled by the department’s Special Enforcement Unit and SWAT Team. Drones have also proven to be resources for other City divisions such as Fire (HAZMAT and large fire responses) and were heavily used during the flooding events of 2023.

Additionally, the Department currently utilizes DJI Avata indoor drones for interior reconnaissance; however, these systems have experienced connectivity and durability issues. The Skydio R10 indoor drone is purpose-built for law enforcement and offers enhanced obstacle avoidance and indoor flight capability, allowing officers to conduct interior visual assessments prior to entry. This capability supports de-escalation, intelligence gathering, and improved safety outcomes for officers, suspects, and the public.

Background Discussion:

The Visalia Police UAS Unit currently consists of ten (10) pilots and ten (10) DJI drones. Of the ten drones in the fleet, seven (7) are older Mavics, of which three are inoperable, one (1) is an indoor Avata, and the remaining two (2) are Matrices.

Through discussions within the UAS Unit and the wider law enforcement industry, establishing a responsible replacement schedule is difficult. Rapid advances in drone technology make it hard to predict how long companies will support current software and hardware. For example, the 2017 DJI Mavic 2 still receives software updates and replacement batteries, though batteries are now only made by non-DJI companies. Additional factors determine how long a drone remains operational.

Frequency of use, duration (battery life), type of operation (such as flying in heavy winds), and specific needs (like FLIR, spotlight, or PA system) all affect drone longevity.

The purchase of law-enforcement-specific Skydio drones provides a significant improvement in the ability to maintain hardware and upgrade technology as it is developed. The Skydio X10 drone uses the same chassis design and appearance, with only the hardware and software improved These software and hardware updates are offered at a discounted rate to Skydio customer. Skydio is an American manufacturer based in San Mateo, California. Additionally, Skiydio has partnered with AXON and is developing drone technology that will interact with current AXON products used by the department, such as BWC, Taser, and signal-sidearm activation. This integration will activate the drone’s camera systems to record and capture use of force events from the drone’s overhead position.

Agenda Item Wording:

Purchase of Altec bucket truck and appropriation of funds- Authorize the City Manager to award the purchase of an Altec bucket truck from Altec Industries in the amount of $249,353.13 and appropriate funds from the Vehicle Replacement Fund.

Agenda Date: 04/06/2026
Prepared by:

Danny Galindo, Public Works Manager, [email protected] , 713-4186 Nick Bartsch, Public Works Director, [email protected] ,713-4052 Department Recommendation: Staff recommends that City Council authorize the City Manager to award the purchase of an Altec bucket truck from Altec Industries, Inc. in the amount of $249,353.13 and appropriate funds from the Vehicle Replacement Fund (502).

Summary:

Staff obtained a quote for the purchase of a 2025 Dodge Ram 5500 Articulating Telescopic Aerial Device (Non-Insulated AT48S) under Sourcewell contract #110421-ALT from Altec Industries to replace a 2009 Ford F550 Bucket Truck in the amount of $249,353.13.

Background Discussion:

The current 2009 Ford F-550 bucket truck with 104,495 miles, has encountered significant mechanical issues, and after an assessment, Staff received an initial repair quote of $24,000.

However, after previously making identical repairs on a similar vehicle, it was determined that specific method of repair was not reliable. Therefore, a more substantial repair, including an engine replacement valued in excess of $50,000, would be required. Given its age, continued investment in the current vehicle is not recommended. The truck’s overall lifetime costs have already reached $133,736.55, which highlights the ongoing expense of keeping it operational.

This truck is an essential part of the Traffic Maintenance Division’s operations, used for the installation and maintenance of traffic signals and streetlights. Given its critical role and the high cost of repairs, Staff recommends the replacement of the vehicle to ensure continued efficiency in operations and to avoid further escalating maintenance costs.

Altec Industries, Inc. has provided a Sourcewell quote for the equipment that meets the needs and applications of the Traffic Safety Division. The specific truck in question is available now, but the process to custom order and build a new truck is currently approximately 2 years.

Sourcewell Cooperative Purchasing helps the City save time and money by purchasing from ready-to -use, competitively solicited contracts. Cooperative Purchasing is “Procurement conducted by, or on behalf of, one or more Public Procurement Units,” as defined by the American Bar Association Model Visalia City Council Page 1 of 2 Printed on 4/2/2026
powered by Legistar™663
File #: 25-0739 Agenda Date: 4/6/2026 Agenda #: 14.

Procurement Code for State and Local Governments. Sourcewell streamlines the purchasing process by developing Requests for Purchase for national competitive solicitations that meet or exceed local requirements. Because Altec Industries, Inc. are already competitively bid by Sourcewell, the City is able to utilize that contract to obtain the Sourcewell price.

Fiscal Impact including annual maintenance and operating costs:

The purchase for the new Altec Lift will be in the amount of $249,353.13 and will require appropriation of funds from the Vehicle Replacement Fund (502).

Prior Council Action: None
Alternatives: None recommended
Recommended Motion (and Alternative Motions if expected):

I motion to authorize the City Manager to award the purchase of an Altec bucket truck from Altec Industries, Inc. in the amount of $249,353.13 and appropriate funds from the Vehicle Replacement Fund.

Agenda Item Wording:

Award a contract to Ray Gaskin Service for parts and service- Authorize the City Manager to award an annual contract to Ray Gaskin Service for service, repair, and parts for New Way refuse truck bodies. The contract shall not exceed $150,000 annually, totaling $750,000 over the term of the contract, with an option to renew annually for up to (4) additional one-year terms.

Prepared by:

Danny Galindo, Public Works Manager, [email protected] , 713-4186 Nick Bartsch, Public Works Director, [email protected] ,713-4052 Department Recommendation: Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager to award an annual contract to Ray Gaskin Service for service, repair, and parts for New Way refuse truck bodies. The contract shall not exceed $150,000 annually, totaling $750,000 over the term of the contract, with an option to renew annually for up to (4) additional one-year terms.

Summary:

The Solid Waste Division currently operates over 25 commercial front-load trucks that require ongoing parts and service. Ray Gaskin Service is the authorized regional dealer for New Way, located in Bakersfield, and has provided a sole-source letter indicating such. Staff is requesting an annual contract for parts and services provided by Ray Gaskin Service.

Background Discussion:

Ruckstell California Sales Co. was previously the authorized dealer for New Way refuse truck equipment. New Way has since removed Ruckstell and designated Ray Gaskin Service as the authorized dealer for this region.

The City of Visalia operates over 25 refuse truck bodies manufactured by New Way. To maintain fleet reliability and operational consistency, timely access to specialized parts, repairs, and service is essential. Utilizing the authorized dealer ensures compatibility, warranty compliance, and proper maintenance of this equipment.

Fiscal Impact including annual maintenance and operating costs:

Expenditures are paid initially out of the Fleet Maintenance Fund. These costs are then charged to the vehicle user department monthly, as incurred.

Agenda Item Wording:

Authorization for payment to Ray Gaskin Service- Authorize the payment of Ray Gaskin invoices for parts for refuse truck bodies in the amount of $113,413.93.

Agenda Date: 04/06/2026
Prepared by:

Danny Galindo, Public Works Manager, [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> , 713- 4186
Nick Bartsch, Public Works Director, [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> ,713-4052 Department Recommendation: Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the payment of outstanding invoices from Ray Gaskin Service totaling $113,413.93 for parts ordered for repairs on New Way refuse truck bodies.

Summary:

The Solid Waste Division operates over 25 commercial front-load trucks daily, requiring ongoing parts and service. These repairs are performed regularly to keep the fleet operational. Payment of these invoices is necessary while staff works to establish a formal contract.

Background Discussion:

Multiple parts were required to complete repairs on the City’s New Way solid waste front-load trucks.

These parts were previously sourced through Ruckstell, the City’s contracted vendor. However, Ruckstell lost its dealership contract with New Way. Ray Gaskin Service is now the authorized local representative for New Way sales, parts, and service.

Due to an internal administrative issue, a formal agreement with the newly authorized dealer was not executed in a timely manner following this transition. As a result, services continued without an approved contract in place, and invoices accumulated over an extended period. Staff acknowledges this lapse and takes responsibility for the delay. Upon identification, staff initiated corrective action to formalize the agreement and bring forward all outstanding invoices for approval. Internal procedures are being reviewed and reinforced to ensure contracts are executed in advance of services and similar oversights do not occur in the future.

Fiscal Impact including annual maintenance and operating costs:

Expenditures are paid initially out of the Fleet Maintenance Fund (501). These costs are then charged to the vehicle user department monthly, as incurred.

Staff Report
Visalia City Council
707 W. Acequia
Visalia, CA 93291
File #: 25-0751 Agenda Date: 4/6/2026 Agenda #: 17.

Agenda Item Wording:

Approve purchase of solid waste pilot electric truck - Approve the purchase of one 2025 model year solid waste electric residential side loader demonstrator truck from Haaker, Inc. through the Sourcewell Cooperative in the amount of $876,368.58 and appropriate $876,368.58 from the Solid Waste Enterprise Fund.

Agenda Date: 04/06/2026
Prepared by: 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 one 2025 model year solid waste electric residential side loader demonstrator truck from Haaker, Inc. in the amount of $876,368.58 and appropriate $876,368.58 from the Solid Waste Enterprise Fund.

Summary:

Staff are recommending the purchase of an all-electric 2025 model year McNeilus Volterra solid waste demonstrator side loader truck. After extensive research and comparisons of capable models, including reference work of other operators in California, staff is confident in the performance of the electric truck and its ability to do the work of the City’s standard internal combustion alternatives.

Coupled with the available incentives from the Air Board and HVIP to lower the upfront capital cost, the timing is optimal to purchase and pilot this all-electric model. The fact that the truck could be repaired in Tulare as needed, is also an asset.

Background Discussion:

The State of California and the California Air Resources Board have mandated that State and local agencies begin converting their heavy-duty fleets to zero-emission beginning January 1, 2024.

Currently, there are two effective options, battery-electric and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles.

Unfortunately, low-emission Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) does not qualify towards meeting the mandated regulation. Due to the lack of hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles entering the market, batteryelectric technology is currently the only commercially available and logistically feasible option in the market today. City staff recognize the immediate need to pilot an electric solid waste truck for a longterm benefit of testing, while also developing a possible strategy and pathway to successfully satisfy the Advanced Clean Fleets (ACF) requirements.

Historically, the City of Visalia Solid Waste Division has procured a mix of CNG and diesel fueled vehicles to replace or grow the solid waste fleet. Due to the zero-emission regulations in the State of California, the City began the process of researching alternative fuel vehicles, and subsequently, the viability and affordability of purchasing an electric solid waste truck. Staff took the approach of studying various types of electric truck products available for sale, then coming to a recommendation based on the performance and future ownership costs of the vehicle.

After reviewing products from multiple battery-electric truck manufacturers and being able to demo several trucks on the City’s routes, one manufacturer performed better than its competitors. Due to the ease of operation, purpose-built design for reduced maintenance and equipment longevity, and perhaps most importantly, battery efficiency, the McNeilus/Volterra is the preferred and recommended option, having the ability to perform the same duties as the City’s current internal combustionpowered equipment.

With any new technology or product, there is a need to do due diligence by contacting other cities and private operators that are running the specific electric truck product staff is considering.

Additionally, the specific truck under consideration was tested for 2 full days onsite so that Solid Waste staff along with Fleet Maintenance personnel could weigh in on the truck’s capabilities and/or drawbacks.

Even through initially testing new electric truck technology and getting good references, staff understand that with any new technology, extended testing, specific to the City of Visalia and its solid waste operation, is most valuable before a more extensive investment of converting the entire fleet and installing charging infrastructure is made. This is why staff is proposing a pilot as the best option.

The pilot would purchase one truck, put that truck into service, and observe the compatibility and comparability of operational costs. Subsequent purchases would then be evaluated and considered upon the successful performance of the pilot truck.

Fiscal Impact including annual maintenance and operating costs:

After the selective process of choosing an electric model that could take the place of one of the City’s CNG equivalents, staff recommend the McNeilus Volterra. This truck had the most upside in range, capacity, and good references (See previously given presentation attached). In addition, having a local dealer in Tulare, CA was a positive for support contact and warranty parts and repairs, if needed.

Haaker, Inc. is the McNeilus dealer in the area and is able to extend pricing according to a Sourcewell Cooperative contract (Contract# 110223-MCN). Sourcewell Cooperative Purchasing helps the City save time and money by purchasing from ready-to-use, competitively solicited contracts. Cooperative Purchasing is “Procurement conducted by, or on behalf of, one or more Public Procurement Units,” as defined by the American Bar Association Model Procurement Code for State and Local Governments. Sourcewell streamlines the purchasing process by developing Requests for Purchase for national competitive solicitations that meet or exceed local requirements.

The electric truck pilot will be an addition to the fleet as a growth vehicle and take the place of one of the two growth vehicles that staff is planning to take to Council before the end of FY25/26. Even though this electric truck will serve as a pilot program, staff feels that it is capable enough to be an addition to the fleet and can help in savings by taking the place of an already planned growth vehicle.

Staff was also given the option of purchasing a brand new 2026 model year truck or an identical demonstrator 2025 model year truck with 1,781 miles on the odometer. Because the trucks were identical, staff has chosen to recommend the 2025 demo truck for less cost.

The cost breakdown of the demo truck and additional equipment is below, along with the appropriation needed for this purchase to Haaker, Inc., the local McNeilus dealer.

City staff was also able to obtain an HVIP grant (Hybrid and Zero-Emission Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Project) in the amount of $150,000 which will be issued as a reimbursement after the initial purchase. There is also a possibility of being able to stack an additional Air Board Truck Replacement Program grant (which the City has already qualified and contracted for) in the amount of $120,832, dependent on the type of funding we receive from HVIP. Even though these amounts are a cost reduction to the initial capital needed to purchase the electric truck, the appropriation amount above is not inclusive of the reductions since they are considered reimbursements.

CNG versus Electric:

Even though the initial capital investment of a battery-electric-powered truck is greater than its CNGpowered equivalent that the City is accustomed to purchasing, staff have prepared a side-by-side comparison of the expected 10-year life costs of the electric-powered options compared to the City’s typical internal combustion-powered natural gas vehicle. As seen below, the initial capital to purchase the electric truck is higher, but the electric truck does make strides in payback by year ten (in accordance with the City’s current vehicle replacement schedule), achieving an anticipated near equal total cost of ownership, with maintenance and fuel being the greatest in contrast. Staff would like to note that due to State requirements, diesel trucks are no longer considered a viable option to purchase and will be unavailable in the future, so it is not considered in the comparisons below. 10-year Electric VS CNG Comparison

Total Cost of Ownership (Annual) $1,003,806.48 $1,068,924.09 $1,152,060.06 *For details on the assumptions made to make the above comparison, please see the pilot presentation attached to this staff report.
**Only one grant amount is shown as a cost reduction in the figure above. An additional $120,832 may reduce the electric price if the grant is stackable after the HVIP voucher is issued to the City.

Even though staff is recommending the purchase of an identical 2025 model year demonstrator electric truck with 1,781 miles, the new 2026 model year purchase truck option and price are also listed in the comparison above and given as an alternative buying option and motion below. The new 2026 electric McNeilus Volterra would be an additional $83,135.97. Both model year trucks are Visalia City Council Page 3 of 4 Printed on 4/2/2026

Why electrify?
 The State of California and the California Air Resources Board have mandated that State and local agencies begin converting their heavyduty fleets to zero emission starting 2024.  CNG does not qualify as meeting the regulations. This leaves electric as the only alternative, as hydrogen fuel cell trucks are still not available.
 A pilot electric vehicle will assist staff in getting real world data on the new technology, specific to the City of Visalia over an extended period of time.
 There are now enough users of electric trucks to obtain good references and information.
779
visalia.gov
Research Process and Information Gathering Overview
 Staff researched and demo’ed viable solid waste trucks from various manufacturers and configurations. This included ensuring the Transit charging station was compatible, and also included the Fleet Department for servicing and maintenance questions.  After selecting a preferred manufacturer for viability and experience, staff collected testimonials and researched current operators of the selected truck within, and outside, California.
 After ensuring that the truck was a operationally viable alternative for a current CNG truck, staff compiled data and cost figures, including initial quotes, to determine the lifetime cost of an electric truck versus the City’s current CNG platform. 780

Presentation of solid waste electric truck pilot – Presentation of staff recommended solid waste electric truck pilot and comparative analysis. ..body
Agenda Date: 04/06/2026
Prepared by: Jason Serpa, Public Works Manager, 713-4533, [email protected]; Nick Bartsch, Public Works Director, 713-4052, [email protected] Department Recommendation: Staff recommends that the City Council receive the presentation on the Solid Waste Division’s recommendation of a pilot electric solid waste truck.

Summary:

The State of California and the California Air Resources Board have mandated that State and local agencies begin converting their heavy-duty fleets to zero-emission beginning January 1, 2024. Currently, there are effectively two options, battery-electric and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. Unfortunately, low-emission Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) does not qualify towards meeting the mandated regulation. Due to the lack of hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles entering the market, battery-electric technology is currently the only commercially available and logistically feasible option in the market today. City staff recognize the immediate need to pilot an electric solid waste truck for a long-term benefit of testing, while also developing a possible strategy and pathway to successfully satisfy the Advanced Clean Fleets (ACF) requirements.

Background Discussion:

After reviewing products from multiple battery-electric truck manufacturers and being able to demo several trucks on the City’s routes, one manufacturer performed better than its competitors. Due to the ease of operation, purpose-built design for reduced maintenance and equipment longevity, and perhaps most importantly, battery efficiency, the McNeilus/Volterra is the preferred option, having the ability to perform the same duties as the City’s current internal combustion-powered equipment.

With any new technology or product, there is a need to do due diligence by contacting other cities and private operators that are running the specific electric truck product staff is considering. Additionally, the specific truck under consideration was tested for 2 full days onsite so that Solid Waste staff along with Fleet Maintenance personnel could weigh in on the truck’s capabilities and/or drawbacks.
792
References:

Four different current operators of the McNeilus/Volterra truck were interviewed over the phone, ranging in experience from 1-2 years of running the specific equipment. It is noted that almost all the referenced operators listed below did purchase a few trucks initially for testing and now have many more trucks in the fleet and/or ordered. These operators were:

Republic Services (Huntington Beach, CA)
Pride Disposal (Sherwood, OR)
Waste Management (Sun Valley, CA)
Republic Services (Long Beach, CA)
Even though the number of trucks varied from each fleet, ranging from 2 to 10 trucks, the operators listed above all had as much real-life experience as could be expected with the new electric trucks. They all had similar routes with an average of 1,100 – 1,250 cans, comparable to our daily loads.

The first operator staff contacted was Republic Services in Huntington Beach, CA. They have operated five (5) total trucks – (2) trucks for about a year, and (3) trucks for 10 months.

They are also scheduled to receive seven (7) more within the next 12 months. Their approach was similar in that they wanted to pilot two (2) trucks before committing to more, and they have become increasingly confident in the performance of the Volterra electric truck provided by McNeilus. Staff received positive information regarding minimum downtime and the ability of the truck to replace an internal combustion counterpart.

The second contact was Pride Disposal from Sherwood, OR. This solid waste company serves a few communities in Oregon and has two (2) Volterra trucks that they have operated for 2 years. This operator, being the most experienced in terms of time with the equipment, was able to answer more detailed questions regarding technician repairs and training, in addition to information on charging stations and the portable chargers that they deployed. This contact had very specific knowledge on the McNeilus Volterra due to his extensive time rolling out the truck and testing from the beginning of procurement. They were able to articulate many nuances of the truck, including that tires (while not different than any other internal combustion-powered (ICE) vehicle) may be the most expensive regular maintenance item, as many other preventative maintenance items (like oil changes) are no longer needed. They also mentioned that other items like brakes and fluids would have a greater maintenance interval, lowering the overall cost of preventative maintenance and breakdowns as compared to ICE trucks. It was also encouraging to note that even on their worst day (including a 2-hour breakdown), their longest route (by mileage and number of pick-ups), hilly terrain, and on a 90-degree day, the truck still came in with a 23% charge on the battery. On a normal day, the battery charge would typically end at 40% - 80%, depending on the route based on 1,100 can pickups.

Staff’s third contact, Waste Management from Sun Valley, CA, currently has nine (9) McNeilus Volterras, with eight (8) of them being side-loader operations. Their experience started in September of 2025. They stated that they have had no issues with the cab and chassis. Regarding the body, they have had typical mechanical issues pertaining to hydraulic lines and sensors, but nothing major. The longest downtime they have 793
experienced for repair was 2 weeks, and out of their 9 trucks, 7 have had no issues at all.

The advice they wanted to impart to future users was to ensure that any new truck purchased has the latest programming to avoid the sensor issues they had on a couple of trucks. They also gave us the latest software version upgrade so we can ensure that it is completed on a truck if we decide to purchase one.

Staff then contacted a fourth operator of the McNeilus product, Republic Services in Long Beach, CA. Even though their base was in Long Beach, they serve many communities, including school districts. They currently run twelve (12) McNeilus Volterra trucks and expect delivery of ten (10) more within the year. Their experience with McNeilus goes back 16 months, as they received one of the first Volterras to be sold. They stated that in the first couple of months they had extreme issues regarding software that needed upgrading, and some minor hydraulic issues. After those bugs were worked out, they have been happy with the product and have experienced nearly no downtime. They did have a battery issue with the very first truck they received, which needed to have a warranty replacement of the battery pack. Overall, they are happy with the product and state that the support response they receive from their dealer is top notch, with a technician being dispatched on the same day of issue in most instances.

Subsequent purchases would then be evaluated and considered upon the successful performance of the pilot truck.

Service:

This type of new vehicle technology, especially specialized equipment like an electric solid waste truck, requires specialized training on the fleet service side. The local McNeilus and Volterra dealer is located in Tulare. They will be responsible for conducting service training with the City’s Fleet Maintenance technicians, including the low and high voltage training, necessary for safety around electric vehicles. This type of training is included in the purchase of the Volterra truck, including information on all necessary tooling that will need to be purchased for the service of these trucks.

Along with the specialized training for high voltage repairs, staff will need to procure specialized personnel protective equipment and supplies. Even though the costs of these items are the same as PPE that the fleet mechanics would otherwise buy for other types of battery electric equipment, it is important to acknowledge.

The City also has the option to have the local dealer perform all required routine maintenance at the cost of $1,000 per quarter, or $4,000 annually, per vehicle. These costs will be further evaluated through the pilot to determine cost effectiveness, convenience, and efficiency.

Charging Infrastructure:
794
In regard to the presented pilot, staff plans to utilize Transit’s available charging station, as it has already been tested in its ability to charge the McNeilus Volterra. For longer term consideration, if the City continues with a plan of electrifying fleet operations, staff will incorporate additional infrastructure into the Corporation Yard master plan and research avenues for additional grant opportunities that exist, like Southern California Edison’s programs for infrastructure upgrades. For reference, a single level 2 charger station can run from $25,000 - $75,000, depending on existing site, and a level 3 fast charger can run up to $250,000 for a single fast charger station.

Staff also researched a backup charging unit. This unit could be utilized to charge the truck overnight in the same manner as the Transit charging station, or used as a backup if charging infrastructure went down. This charger was quoted at $28,333.20, tax included, and is included in the cost breakdown in the financial section below.

Fiscal Impact including annual maintenance and operating costs: Even though the initial capital investment of a battery-electric-powered truck is greater than its CNGpowered equivalent that the City is accustomed to purchasing, staff have prepared a sideby-side comparison of the expected lifetime costs of the electric-powered options compared to the City’s typical internal combustion-powered natural gas vehicle. As seen below, the initial capital to purchase the electric truck is higher, but the electric truck does make strides in payback by year ten (in accordance with the City’s current vehicle replacement schedule), achieving an anticipated near equal total cost of ownership, with maintenance and fuel being the greatest in contrast. Staff would like to note that due to State requirements, diesel trucks are no longer considered a viable option to purchase and will be unavailable in the future, so it is not considered in the comparisons below.

Staff has been presented with two purchasing options that are shown above. The manufacturer has an electric demo truck available with 1,721 miles that could be sold to the City at a discount. It was used as a demonstration vehicle for the industry to try out and is readily available for purchase. It is identical to the new electric truck that is proposed above at the higher price point.

Possible additional grant availability:

There is a very high probability that the City would also be able to apply its previously awarded Truck Replacement Program grant from the California Air Resources Board of an 10-year Electric VS CNG Comparison

Agenda Date: 04/06/2026
Prepared by:

Josh Dan, Senior Planner, (559)713-4003, [email protected] Paul Bernal, Planning and Community Preservation Director, (559) 713-4025, [email protected]
Department Recommendation:

The Planning Commission recommends that the City Council take the following actions, consistent with the staff recommendation made to Planning Commission on March 23, 2026:

A. Adoption of Initial Study / Mitigated Negative Declaration prepared by TCOE consistent with the California Environmental Quality Act (Resolution No. 2026-21).

B. Adopt Resolution No. 2026-19, approving General Plan Amendment No. 2025-05 which does the following:
i. Expand the Urban Development Growth Boundary (UDB) to include the 24.32-acre parcel (APN: 122-470-003) east of the current TCOE facility at 6200 South Mooney Boulevard; and

powered by Legistar™797
File #: 25-0723 Agenda Date: 4/6/2026 Agenda #: 1.
ii. Establish a land use designation for the 24.32-acre parcel (APN: 122-470-003) which is located outside the City’s UDB from Agriculture to Public/Institutional and re-designate their current campus at 6200 South Mooney Boulevard (APN: 122-480-004 from Commercial Mixed Use to Public/Institutional.

C. Introduce the first reading of Ordinance No. 2026-01 for approval of Prezone and Change of Zone No. 2025-06, which does the following:
i. The proposal seeks to prezone unincorporated territory to confirm the zone designation of QP which is consistent with the land use designations of Public/Institutional for APNs:
122-470-003, 122-480-008, and 122-480-018 that will apply to that territory upon annexation to the city; and
ii. Change of Zone will change the existing zoning for the TCOE site (APN: 122-480-004) from C-MU (Commercial Mixed Use) to QP (Quasi-Public), which is also consistent with the General Plan Amendment No. 2025-05.

D. Adopt Resolution No. 2026-20, initiating proceedings for Annexation No. 2025-03 which will complete the following:
i. Initiation of Proceedings for Annexation No. 2025-03 a request by TCOE to annex a total of 37.5-acres parcel into the City Limits of Visalia; and ii. Authorize the detachment from County Service Area No. 1 in accordance with State and County requirements; and
iii. Authorize the City Manager to sign and enter into a Pre-Annexation Agreement (Resolution No. 2026-20 required).

It is standard practice for staff to recommend the upholding of a Planning Commission action.

Furthermore, if approved by the City Council, staff will file the Annexation application with LAFCO.

The recommendation to land use and zoning designations will facilitate the Tulare County Office of Education proposed campus expansion with additional facilities to its existing administrative office and conference center located at 6200 South Mooney Boulevard. TCOE has acquired portions of adjacent properties which will be merged with the existing site, expanding their overall campus site by approximately 12.54 acres.

Summary:

This proposal aids in consolidation and centralization of existing TCOE offices, which are located at 7000 West Doe Avenue and other sites, while hosting professional development training courses and workshops for district employees. If all entitlements are approved, the contiguous sites will be developed in a manner to provide internal access via drive aisles, along with other onsite improvements including curbing, drainage, and utility infrastructure, see Exhibit “A”. In addition, the expansion will also have an additional vehicular access point from Avenue 264 / Liberty Avenue (see Site Plan in Exhibit “A”).

The existing TCOE facility located at 6200 South Mooney Boulevard, was completed in 2016. The existing 11-acre campus includes administration offices and a conference center. The existing building is 91,596 square feet consisting of a three-story professional office building and a singlestory conference center. The site design included three landscaped ponding areas for stormwater retention and a greenbelt along the northern property line. On the east side of the property, 2.5 acres were reserved for future expansion. Parking provided onsite totals 379 stalls used by employees and visitors. The only existing vehicular ingress and egress onto the site is provided via South Mooney Visalia City Council Page 2 of 8 Printed on 4/2/2026

visitors. The only existing vehicular ingress and egress onto the site is provided via South Mooney Boulevard. In addition to administrative offices and support to TCOE schools and facilities, the existing campus is also used to host conferences, educational training, and up to three large-scale conferences per year.

The proposed campus expansion is expected to provide five (5) additional buildings providing space for offices, classrooms, and conference meeting space. Each building, square footage, and proposed use are listed in Table 1-1 below and are depicted in Exhibit “A”.

Table 1: Existing and Proposed TCOE Buildings
BLDG No. Square Feet Stories Purpose / Use
100 (existing) 91,569 3 Existing admin and conf. center 200 (proposed) 50,985 1 Offices
300 (proposed) 50,985 1 Offices
400 (proposed) 6,227 1 Three classrooms and training kitchen 500 (proposed) 6,227 1 Conference / Board Room
600 (proposed) 35,264 1 Warehouse
To assist in the overall development of the TCOE campus expansion, TCOE will be purchasing two adjacent sites to provide land area for these onsite improvements. A proposed stormwater ponding basin will be constructed along the southern boundary of the property for on-site drainage. New parking facilities surrounding the development will provide an additional 388 parking stalls, including 17 accessible spaces. Between the existing and proposed parking stalls, 767 stalls will be provided onsite.

To facilitate this request, in addition to the entitlements listed above (i.e., General Plan Amendment, Prezone and Change of Zone, and Annexation) the following Conditional Use Permit (CUP) entitlement was also required. CUP No. 2025-28, approved by the Planning Commission on March 23, 2026, was required due to schools being listed as a conditionally permitted use in the QuasiPublic zone. Staff supports TCOE’s campus expansion as the project complies with General Plan land use policies as stated in the General Plan analysis section below.

Of the entitlements required, only Conditional Use Permit No. 2025-28 was in the Planning Commission’s purview. The use permit was a requirement for the proposed classrooms on site to accompany the office spaces, storage building, and board / conference room.

The applicant has detailed in the operational statement and verbally that the use of the site is intended for the consolidation of their existing facilities to this one location. The facility is intended for use by TCOE employees and teachers; however, the TCOE board / conference room is subject to the Civic Center Act which requires that their facilities be made available to the public via the TCOE Board approved fees schedule. The applicant has further identified that TCOE meetings and events will have priority whereas others will have to schedule around TCOE’s established meeting and event dates.

Planning Commission Public Hearing:

The Planning Commission conducted a hearing on March 23, 2026, to consider the general plan amendment, prezone and change of zone, annexation, and conditional use permit for the TCOE project. The only public comment received was from Jeff Ramsey, Director of General Services with TCOE. The Planning Commission was unanimous in their approval of the conditional use permit Visalia City Council Page 3 of 8 Printed on 4/2/2026

File #: 25-0723 Agenda Date: 4/6/2026 Agenda #: 1.

TCOE. The Planning Commission was unanimous in their approval of the conditional use permit based on the findings in the staff report and resolution, and unanimous in their recommendation of approval to the City Council for the general plan amendment, prezone and change of zone, and annexation.

General Plan Land Use and Zoning Compatibility:

The General Plan describes that the Public/Institutional land use classification applies to lands owned by public entities, including City Hall and other City buildings, County buildings, schools, the Municipal Airport, and hospitals. Specifically, Land Use Policy LU-P-108 supports the designation of land for Public/Institutional uses including city, county, and other government buildings as well as schools. Additionally, the General Plan’s Parks, Schools, Community Facilities, and Utilities Element details in several policies the promotion of educational alternatives, like charter schools, per the following policies:

PSCU-P-34: Coordinate land use and development with school location and site design, working with the Visalia Unified School District and other districts to ensure that adequate facilities are available and integrated with neighborhoods.

PSCU-P-39: Promote the location and development of vocational and trade schools and alternative and continuing education programs such as Visalia Charter Independent Study.

PSCU-P-44: Support efforts to involve youth in leadership and job training programs.

Permitting the expansion of the TCOE campus meets General Plan Objective LU-O-13 by minimizing urban sprawl and leap-frog development by supporting the expansion of the TCOE campus which is within the Visalia planning area, thereby promoting orderly growth instead of fragmented development. In addition, supporting the expansion of the TCOE campus will help preserve educational diversity in Visalia’s economic base which may help increase the stability of jobs and support economic competitiveness by aligning education with local needs. Expansion of the existing facility for the proposed uses would be in keeping with the City of Visalia’s goals and polices of supporting educational growth opportunities while coordinating with school districts to offer alternative education facilities, which in turn, deliver long-term community benefits by expanding critical publicserving educational institutions.

Parking:

The proposed expansion entails uses for office, board/conference rooms, classrooms, and storage/warehousing. Pursuant to the Visalia Municipal Code Chapter 17.34, off street parking and loading facilities, the following parking criteria is applied for the uses:

1. Offices - Section 17.34.020.F.4: Offices, including all public and professional offices, except as otherwise specified: one parking space for each two hundred fifty (250) square feet of building area, with a minimum of four parking spaces.

2. Classrooms - Section 17.34.020.C.3: High schools, one parking space for each employee plus seven parking spaces for each classroom.

3. Warehousing - Section 17.34.020.F.17: Storage and warehouses: one parking space for each one thousand (1,000) square feet of building area.

Staff has provided Table 1-2 (below) to provide analysis of the parking requirements for each building:

Table 1-2: Parking
BLDG No. Floor area VMC Ratio Required
200 50,985 1:250 sq. ft. (Offices) 204
300 50,985 1:250 sq. ft. (Offices) 204
400 6,227 1 per employee & 7 per Classroom (3
classrooms)
24 500 6,227 1 per 4 seats (100 seats)25
600 35,264 1:1,000 sq. ft. (warehouses) 35
Considering the parking ratios and floor areas provided, 492 parking stalls would be required for the additional buildings based on the parking ratios as prescribed in the Zoning Ordinance. The existing facility’s 379 parking stalls, in addition to the 388 stalls proposed, provides a total of 767 stalls across the entire TCOE campus.

Staff would note that the existing TCOE building was not developed through the City’s permitting process and therefore parking ratios for the site were established based on their needs and not the city’s parking ratios. However, the total number of parking stalls provided is justified due to the operational characteristics of the TCOE campus. Specifically, not all buildings are intended to be occupied simultaneously or at full capacity throughout the day. The campus will function with staggard schedules, varying program hours, and intermittent use of certain facilities. Based on the operational needs for the TCOE site, staff concludes the parking provided adequately serves the project site without resulting in adverse “spillover” parking impacts to the surrounding area.

Access, Connectivity, and Circulation:

Mooney Boulevard (State Route 63) is state highway that has full improvements across the existing facility’s frontage. The secondary vehicular access point at Avenue 264 is needed to facilitate adequate fire access and to provide a secondary point of ingress/egress for the TCOE campus. The Engineering Division has identified that full improvements to Avenue 264 will not be warranted at this time; however, should additional development be considered for the undeveloped portion of the site, additional street improvements will be required. The extent of these improvements would include sidewalks, curb, gutter, park strip landscaping, city streetlights, etc., to City standards. It should be noted that there is also a gated access point set off the roadway (Avenue 264), which serves as the secondary point of access to the site.

The existing facility and proposed expansion will be connected via interior drive aisles which are expected to integrate into the overall layout. Some demolition of existing improvements like solar canopies and stormwater gutters will need to occur and be reconfigured, however, there is no concern from staff regarding the cohesion of the two phases.

Landscaping, Lighting, and Fencing:

The existing facility is fully landscaped along its Mooney Boulevard frontage and has a “greenbelt” of landscaping around its perimeter. The proposed expansion will mirror a similar landscaping design.

Furthermore, the existing Mooney Boulevard frontage has black wrought iron fencing and access gates, whereas the remainder of the perimeter is predominantly fenced with chain-link fencing. Visalia City Council Page 5 of 8 Printed on 4/2/2026 powered by Legistar™801
File #: 25-0723 Agenda Date: 4/6/2026 Agenda #: 1.
gates, whereas the remainder of the perimeter is predominantly fenced with chain-link fencing.

Exhibit “A” shows that similar styled gates and fencing are expected around the perimeter expansion and secondary access point. The proposed seven-foot-tall decorative metal fence is consistent with the fence height and placement requirements established in municipal code Chapter 17.36 Fences, Walls and Hedges for similar uses.

Environmental Review:

The proposed project was previously evaluated pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) by TCOE which acted as the Lead Agency for the project. TCOE prepared an Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) for the project and, following a 30-day circulation of the document for public review, TCOE adopted the Mitigated Negative Declaration and approved moving forward with the project finding that, with implementation of identified mitigation measures, the project would not result in significant environmental impacts.

The City, acting as a Responsible Agency for purposes of CEQA, is required to consider the environmental effects of the project as shown in the environmental document prepared by TCOE before acting on the project. The City is required to impose feasible mitigation measures within its jurisdiction.

TCOE consulted with City staff on the preparation of the Initial Study and MND. The City has independently reviewed and considered the Initial Study and MND, together with the administrative record associated with the Lead Agency’s approval of the project, and finds that the environmental document adequately evaluates the environmental impacts of the project.

Table 3-19 of the IS/MND produced by TCOE identifies the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program for the project. The table recognizes measures intended for:
· One (1) Agricultural Resources related to impacts to Prime Farmland. · Three (3) Biological Resources related to protecting nesting Swainsons hawks, roosting pallid bat and western mastiff bat, obtaining a permit from the SWRCB for impacts to jurisdictional waters, protecting nesting birds;
· Two (2) Cultural Resources related to whether any accidental discovery of unidentified archaeological remains or human remains during development or ground-moving activities in the project boundary.

Fiscal Impact including annual maintenance and operating costs: None.

Prior Council Action: None.

Other:

The Planning Commission held a public hearing on March 23, 2026, to consider the general plan amendment, prezone and change of zone, annexation, and conditional use permit for the TCOE project site. The Planning Commission approved the conditional use permit, based on the findings in the staff report, and recommended approval to the City Council the general plan amendment, prezone and change of zone, and annexation request. The vote for all four entitlements was 4-0 with Vice Chair Davis recused.

Alternatives:

The City Council may, in lieu of the recommended motion specified above, consider any of the Visalia City Council Page 6 of 8 Printed on 4/2/2026

Environmental Assessment Status:

TCOE prepared an Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) for the project and, following circulation of the document for public review, TCOE Board adopted the Mitigated Negative Declaration and approved moving forward with the project finding that, with implementation of identified mitigation measures, the project would not result in significant environmental impacts.

TCOE consulted with City staff on the preparation of the Initial Study and MND. The City has independently reviewed and considered the Initial Study and MND, together with the administrative record associated with the Lead Agency’s approval of the project and finds that the environmental document adequately evaluates the environmental impacts of the project. Therefore, staff recommends the Mitigated Negative Declaration be adopted for this project.
