Prepared by:

Nichol Ritchie, Finance Manager, (559) 713-4379, [email protected], Ruth Pena, Financial Analyst (559) 713-4327, [email protected], Renee Nagel, Finance & Technology Director, (559) 713-4375 [email protected] Department Recommendation:

That Council accept and approve the annual report for the Town-Center Business Improvement Area (TCBIA), renewing the TCBIA management agreement with Downtown Visalians, Inc. for an additional one-year term to commence July 1, 2026.

Summary:

Business owners located in the Town-Center Business Improvement Area (TCBIA) pay a surcharge on their business tax (BT) for the purpose of providing parking, decorations, music, and promotion of public events and Downtown businesses. The revenue from this surcharge is collected during the City's BT billing process and administered by Downtown Visalians, Inc. (DTV) through a management agreement with the City. This agreement requires submission of an Annual Operations Report of all matters covered under the agreement for the preceding fiscal year. Approval of the report triggers renewal of the management agreement for another year. The calendar year 2025 Report is provided as attachment A part 1, and attachment A part 2 to this agenda item.

The current TCBIA management agreement was initially approved in May 2025, and the current one- year term runs from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2026. The agreement is renewable annually, and according to the agreement terms, acceptance and approval of the attached annual report will renew the agreement for an additional one-year term, commencing on the following July 1st. Acceptance and approval of the annual TCBIA 2025 report will renew the management agreement for a term which will run from July 1, 2026 to June 30, 2027.

Background Discussion:

The economic vitality of the Downtown Visalia area has long been a high priority for both the City, and the business owners located there. The Town-Center Business Improvement Area was formed with the support of Downtown business owners, under the authority of State legislation in 1966 to support merchants in the downtown area. The formation of the TCBIA generated revenue with a 100% business tax surcharge for the purpose of improving the downtown area and promoting businesses located there. TCBIA has generated an average of $180,000 in Downtown Surcharge annually over the last 7 calendar years and is projected to receive $188,000 in 2026 calendar year as Visalia City Council Printed on 5/29/2026Page 1 of 3

DTV was formed in 1963 and laid the foundations for the long-standing efforts of both the business owners and the City to keep Downtown Visalia thriving. DTV was instrumental in the adoption of the TCBIA, and this funding source was enacted to support their activities. For this reason, the DTV has been contracted for the administration of the TCBIA since inception, and as noted in the management contract, the DTV Board also serves as the TCBIA Board. Membership of this board is limited to property and business owners in the Downtown area and is governed by the DTV’sBoard By-Laws.

A list of current DTV and POA Board members is included in the attached report.

The TCBIA was formed under the California Streets and Highways Code, Part 5. Parking and Business Improvement Area Law of 1965 (Sections 36000-36081). Under this law, the TCBIA revenue may be used for the following purposes:
a) The acquisition, construction, or maintenance of parking facilities for the benefit of the area. b) Decoration of any public place in the area.
c) Promotion of public events which are to take place on, or in public places in the area. d) Furnishing of music in any public place in the area. e) The general promotion of retail trade activities in the area The report required by state law and the management agreement is to include:
i. All actual revenue, activities and expenditures during the Program year of the TCBIA ii. A specific management plan, including operating budget, for the following Program year.

The report included in attachment A, part 1 & part 2 contains a summary of receipts and disbursements for the 2025 calendar year (January 1-December 31) as well as the 2026 budget which lists planned and projected revenues and disbursements. The expenditures summarized in the report complies with the requirements of the Parking and Business Improvement Area Law of 1965 as summarized above.

Fiscal Impact including annual maintenance and operating costs:

The TCBIA surcharge is one of many funding sources used by the DTV to promote Downtown businesses. 100% of the revenue generated from the TCBIA surcharge is collected by the City and passed through to the DTV to be used for the purposes stated in California Law and discussed above. All funds collected are paid to the DTV quarterly, and the full balance of 2025 collections (January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2025) was paid to the DTV at the end of the 2025 calendar year.

Billing for these funds happens concurrently with collection of the regular business tax payments at no material increase in cost to the City.

Agenda Item Wording:

Fiscal Year 2026/27 and 2027/28 Proposed Budget - Receive and discuss the proposed 2026/27 and 2027/28 budget.

Agenda Date: 06/01/2026
Prepared by: Renee Nagel, Finance and Technology Director,559-713-4375, [email protected], Amee Swearingen, Budget Analyst, 559-713-4170, [email protected]
Department Recommendation: No action is required tonight. This report will present an overview of the proposed fiscal year 2026/27 and 2027/28 budget. Staff will return to Council on June 15th with proposed changes, conduct a public hearing, and potentially adopt the budget.

Summary:

The 2026-2028 Biennial Budget is comprised of all City funds, including the General Fund, Special Revenue Funds, Capital Funds, Enterprise Funds, and Internal Service Funds. The proposed budget appropriation for FY 2026/27 is $409 million and $359 million in FY 2027/28. The budget was developed using a conservative and responsible approach for both revenues and expenditures while meeting the community’sneeds and addressing the goals established by the City Council for the next two years.

A detailed summary of the budget assumptions is included in the Budget Message of the document.

The budget book can be viewed on the City Webpage at
<https://www.visalia.gov/DocumentCenter/View/3095/Proposed-2026-27--2027-28-Budget-Document -PDF> .

Background Discussion:

Every two years the City of Visalia adopts a biannual budget. The Budget lays out a strategic resource allocation plan that aligns with community goals, preferences, and needs. The Budget is a policy document, financial plan, operations guide, and communication device all in one.

The Budget also:
· Determines the quality and quantity of City programs and services. · States expenditure planned and the resources needed.
· Sets targets and provides a means of measuring accomplishments against goals and actual versus planned outcomes.
· Serves as a communication device-for elected officials, the public, and the City organization- that promotes the City’s vision and direction, fiscal health and vitality, and how the public will benefit from the expenditure of tax dollars.

The budget is a dynamic document that demonstrates to the public our commitment to service, accountability to the residents, and our focus on meaningful work and significant projects. The budget document is comprised of a 2-year operating plan (annual budget), a 6-year capital improvement program (capital budget), and appropriations for debt service and other uses. The development of the operating and capital budgets, however, takes place on two separate timelines (see Table 1 - Budget Process Calendar).

The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is a multi-year planning instrument that drives the identification, evaluation, and financing of capital infrastructure projects in need of renovation, repair and/or construction. Capital projects consist of all projects that cost more than $10,000 and are typically infrastructure, equipment, and vehicles. Capital projects range from street maintenance or construction to the renovation of municipal buildings, recreation centers and ball fields, to sewerage system replacement, and the purchase of vehicles and equipment. The CIP relates these capital project needs to the financial resources that will support their realization and the timeframe in which both the financing and work will take place. Capital projects typically carry considerable future impact due to having a life span of at least five years or more.

Over the next 2 years, staff is proposing to fund $210.6 million in capital projects. These projects were presented to Council in February, March, April, and May. Tonight, we will begin the budget workshop meetings that will discuss the operating budget. The Operating Budget is used to finance all day-to-day operations and obligations of the City. This budget includes all departmental operations, debt service, small capital expenditures (less than $10,000), and fund transfer payments (advances and subsidies) for the next two fiscal year’s.The funding for the budget is derived from taxes, fees, licenses, fines, and inter-governmental revenues (state and federal grants).

The operating budget starts by creating a baseline budget and building upon that to plan out the next two years. The City uses actual numbers from the prior two years and current year projections as the baseline. Finance creates a set of strategic guidelines to help departments prepare their proposed budgets. The strategic guidelines for this two-year budget are to:
· Budget revenues conservatively
· Seek cost saving measures that produce the same service delivery at a lower cost · Find ways to address deferred maintenance
· Produce a balanced budget
Due to the complexity of creating the budget, a timeline is created to ensure the budget can be adopted by June 30th as shown in Table 1 - Budget Process Calendar.

Staff recommends that the Council adopt a budget by June 30th to comply with City Charter provisions requiring a budget appropriation for all expenditures. However, if Council is concerned or desires further discussion of the budget, additional hearings could be scheduled. Extending adoption of the budget past June 30th would result in the City having expenditures with no appropriation, in violation of the City Charter. This would be an undesirable outcome and is not recommended by staff.

City Council’s Budget Goals and Priorities

At this meeting, Council set five budget goals and priorities which were used as a framework for budgeting operations and capital projects. Below are the budget’s strategic goals:

Budget Overview
The proposed budget for FY 2026/27 and 2027/28 is comprised of all City funds, including the General Fund, Special Revenue Funds, Capital Funds, Enterprise Funds, and Internal Service Funds. The proposed budget appropriation for FY 2026/27 is $409 million and $359 million in FY 2027/28 as shown in Table 2 - Proposed Appropriation. The decrease in FY 27/28 is due to less capital projects.

The City’s budget includes all allocated positions and assumes no vacancies, as is the usual practice. In the past, vacancy savings have been used to fund emergency, unplanned, or projects that are scheduled in the future years.

The proposed budget includes a total of 737 full-time employees and 278 part-time employees. This count includes the addition of 21 new full-time positions across the organization. In total, 5 full-time positions are proposed within the General Fund, and 16 full-time positions in the Internal Service, Special Revenue, and Enterprise funds. The proposed positions are critical for the implementation of the City Council’spriorities and goals to enhance services and maintain the quality of life for our citizens.

The City’sprimary and largest fund is the General Fund which supports general municipal services such as police, fire, parks, recreation services, and general government. The General Fund is not restricted and resources can be used to provide a broad array of public services. This fund is comprised of multiple revenue sources including, but not limited to, taxes (such as property, sales, and lodging taxes, etc.), user fees, fines, and development related fees.

The General Fund proposed budget has an increase in FY 2026/27 of $3.1 million (2.8%) from the current budget and an increase of $0.4 million (.3%) for FY 2027/28. The General Fund proposed budget is balanced and is projected to have a surplus of $2.3 million in FY 2026/27 and $5.6 million in FY 2027/28 as shown in Table 3 - General Fund Budget Summary.

While the City is in overall sound financial shape today, we must be cautious in approving expenditures that will impact the City in the long term. Revenue forecasts show continued growth; however, we must recognize that other foreign and domestic factors (i.e. inflation, housing prices, supply chain disruptions, etc.) could negatively impact the growth and expansion of our local economy. Any of these factors could also cause another economic downturn. Staff is optimistic about the financial outlook but we must also continue to be fiscally responsible by having sufficient reserves, balanced budgets, and prudent spending policies.

A detailed summary of the budget assumptions is included in the Budget Message of the document.

Agenda Item Wording:

Fiscal Year 2026-27 Rates and Fees - Receive, review, and discuss proposed new fees, increases, and adjustments to the City's Rates and Fees Schedule for Fiscal Year 2026-27.

Agenda Date: 06/01/2026
Prepared by: Jana Ferguson 559-713-4429, [email protected]; Renee Nagel 559-713- 4375, [email protected]
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 2026-27.

Summary:

Each year, the City reviews its fees to ensure they reflect changes in the cost of living for the upcoming fiscal year. Impact Fees and Business Taxes are automatically adjusted annually based on specific Consumer Price Indices (CPI) established in City ordinances. These inflation-based adjustments help City departments keep pace with rising costs while reducing reliance on the General Fund, allowing those resources to be directed toward essential services such as public safety.

The City holds two meetings to review the Rates & Fees for Fiscal Year 2026-27. The first meeting, on June 1, 2026, focuses on receiving, reviewing, and discussing the proposed changes to the fee schedule. The second meeting, on June 15, 2026, includes a Public Hearing and adoption of the City’s Rates & Fees Schedule for Fiscal Year 2026-27.

If approved, fees will take effect on July 1, 2026. Impact Fees will become effective on August 14, 2026, to comply with the required 60-day notice period.

Background Discussion:

Fee increases are based on established indices. The City uses the California Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CCPI-U) as the basis for most fee adjustments. Impact Fees are required by City ordinance to use a building industry index, specifically the Engineering News-Record Construction Cost Index (ENRCCI).

Similarly, City ordinance dictates that Business Tax Fees be adjusted using the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers, U.S. City Average (USCPI-U), calculated as the average over the most recent three years. Impact Fees and Business Tax Fees are adjusted annually in accordance with these ordinances.

Attachment A, “Fiscal Year 2026-27 Proposed Rates and Fees Document,” provides a comprehensive list of all rates and fees and includes the current fiscal year’srates for comparison.

comprehensive list of all rates and fees and includes the current fiscal year’srates for comparison.

Changes beyond standard CPI adjustments are highlighted for ease of reference; these highlighted items are the focus of this report.

Throughout the Rates and Fees Document, there are instances where some or all departmental rates and fees are not increased due to specific circumstances. Examples include:
· Ordinances and Fees Set by Other Governmental Agencies - Certain fees, such as those related to Code Enforcement, may require an ordinance amendment prior to adjustment.

Additionally, some fees are established by external governmental agencies and cannot be modified by the City, as is the case with certain Police fees. · Legal Requirements (Proposition 218 Fees) - Some fees require compliance with Proposition 218 notification procedures before any increase can be implemented. This applies to most Solid Waste and Sewer fees.
· Contracted Services - Certain fees are based on contracted service rates and are therefore tied to contract pricing, such as Sidewalk and Drive Approach Improvement fees. · Minor Administrative Fees - Certain fees associated with minor administrative tasks are minimal in amount and/or infrequently applied; therefore, they are not being increased.

Examples include copy fees and payroll fees.
· Department Discretion - Some fees are not being increased based on departmental recommendations. In certain cases, departments may choose to remain competitive within their industry, where a fee increase could be detrimental to business activity.

This staff report does not address rates proposed to increase solely by the allowable indices (as described above) or those subject to minor adjustments for cash-handling purposes. Cash-handling adjustments consist of rounding to the nearest dollar and range from $0.01 to $0.99.

Table 1, “Proposed Index Period Changes,” identifies the applicable indices and the corresponding fee effective dates.

Table 1
Impact Fees - Each year, in accordance with Visalia Municipal Code 16.44.070, the ENRCCI rate is Visalia City Council Printed on 5/29/2026Page 2 of 12
powered by Legistar™
47 File #: 25-0641 Agenda Date: 6/1/2026 Agenda #: 3.

Impact Fees - Each year, in accordance with Visalia Municipal Code 16.44.070, the ENRCCI rate is calculated as the average of the indices for Los Angeles and San Francisco. For the current year, this calculation results in a rate of -0.79%, While the nationwide ENRCCI reflects an increase of +2.6%, the Los Angeles area index declined by -1.9%. When averaged with San Francisco’s+0.40%, this produces the negative adjustment.

The City’s Impact Fees are based on nexus studies, which are currently underway by the Engineering and Buildings Department, with additional studies planned in the next fiscal year. These studies are required to evaluate the relationship between development and the infrastructure needed to support growth, ensuring that fees charged to developers are proportional to impacts on public facilities, including roads, schools, parks, and public safety services, and remain compliant with State law.

Resolution 2019-06 adopted June 4, 2019, and Municipal Code 16.44.070, provide that adopted fees may be adjusted annually based on the ENRCCI or, if the index does not adequately reflect actual costs, the City Engineer may prepare an updated fee schedule for consideration. “the adjustment of adopted fee resolutions annually subject to the current Engineering News Record Construction Cost Index (ENRCCI) or, alternatively, if such index adjustment is insufficient to meet the actual costs of planned facilities, the City Engineer may compute a new schedule of fees for adoption;”
Given the ongoing multiple nexus studies, the several scheduled to begin in the new budget cycle, and the City Engineer’sauthority to recommend alternative adjustments, staff proposes no changes to the current impact fee schedule at this time. This approach is reflected in the Proposed Rates & Fees Document (Attachment A).

Rounding of Fees - During last year’sreview of the Rates & Fees, Council directed staff to evaluate the feasibility of rounding fees to improve clarity and simplify calculations. In response, staff analyzed the basis of each fee, as well as the legal and procedural implications associated with rounding adjustments.

The City currently maintains approximately 1,600 individual fees, nearly half of which are subject to restrictions on inflationary adjustments. Of those restricted fees, 34% are established by ordinance and would require formal amendments to modify, while more than 18% are subject to Proposition 218 requirements, necessitating voter approval for any changes.

Staff also evaluated payment methods across applicable divisions. Seven divisions process transactions for fees that may be administratively adjusted. Survey results indicate that cash transactions represent approximately 11% of total transactions, with most divisions processing less than 5% in cash. The Transit Division has the highest cash utilization at 26% and currently rounds fares to the nearest quarter dollar ($0.25) for cash payments.

Staff further analyzed the cumulative impact of rounding. Over the past 15 years, the average Consumer Price Index (CPI) increase has been approximately 3% annually. Analysis indicates that rounding introduces variances between calculated and actual cost recovery that compound over time, particularly for fees used as inputs in subsequent calculations, such as Building fees where the Visalia City Council Printed on 5/29/2026Page 3 of 12
powered by Legistar™
48 File #: 25-0641 Agenda Date: 6/1/2026 Agenda #: 3.
fee is multiplied by square footage.

Table 2 illustrates the cumulative impact of rounding fee calculations over time. While the initial variance between actual and rounded fees may appear minimal, the difference grows in later years as annual adjustments are applied. In this example, the Base Fee of $2.36 is rounded to $2.50 in FY 26-27 and results in a $140 variance per 1,000 square feet, which increases to over $400 in FY 29-

30. This occurs because rounding is applied to the prior year rounded rate, causing the variance between actual cost recovery and rounded fees to compound over time. As demonstrated, rounding does not tend to self-correct and instead produces increasing discrepancies, particularly for fees used as the basis for further calculations.

Table 2
26-27 27-28 28-29 29-30 30-31
Base Fee
Actual 2.36 2.43 2.50 2.58 2.66 Round to 1/2 dollar 2.50 2.50 2.50 3.00 3.00 Per Sq Ft - 1,000 Fee
Actual 2,360.00 2,430.80 2,500.00 2,578.84 2,656.20 Round to 1/2 dollar 2,500.00 2,500.00 2,500.00 3,000.00 3,000.00 Variance over actual cost 140.00 69.20 - 421.16 343.80 Rounding fees downward would have the same compounding effect over time. Each incremental reduction, though minor on its own, accumulates annually and prevents the City from fully recovering the actual cost of providing services. Over multiple adjustment cycles, this approach would create an ongoing gap between revenues and expenditures.

Based on the analysis conducted, staff does not recommend implementing a policy to round all rates and fees.

The following are proposed fees for the upcoming fiscal year, effective July 1, 2026. Note: The page numbers referenced for each fee refer to the page number in the Proposed Rates & Fees Document, which is attached.

NEW FEES
Parks & Recreation - General Fees (pg. 17)
At Council’sdirection, Parks & Recreation staff evaluated the implementation of a non-resident fee. A review of California municipalities found that differentiating between resident and non-resident users for recreation programs and facility rentals is a common and established practice.

A non-resident fee structure is consistent with the Department’sFee Policy, as residents support recreational facilities through local taxes. Applying a non-resident rate ensures equitable cost recovery by requiring non-residents to contribute a proportionate share toward operational and maintenance expenses, particularly for high-demand amenities and organized use, while preserving resident access.

A review of comparable California agencies, including the cities of Cupertino, Santa Barbara, Ventura, Martinez, and California City indicates non-resident fees for recreation programs typically range from 15% to 30% above resident rates, and 30% to 80% for facility rentals.

range from 15% to 30% above resident rates, and 30% to 80% for facility rentals. Analysis of City of Visalia Parks & Recreation transaction data from 2021-2025 shows approximately 12% of customers are non-Visalia residents
Staff recommends establishing a Non-Visalia Resident rate set at 25% above resident fees for recreation programs and facility rentals. Consistent with the Parks & Recreation Department Fee Policy, which provides a subsidy for youth programs classified under Category B and Category C, non-residents will continue to receive the initial subsidy with the 25% fee added. The proposed 25% non-resident is reflected in Attachment A (Proposed Rates & Fees for FY 2026-27), the Parks & Recreation Fee Policy (page 7), and the detailed fee schedules (pages 17-20). Staff plans to recommend completely eliminating the non-resident youth subsidy in next year’s rates and fees.

While most approved rates will take effect July 1, 2026, staff recommends implementing the non- resident fee for Recreation program enrollment on August 10, 2026, to align with the Fall 2026 program cycle and avoid confusion to summer programming.

FEE INCREASES EXCEEDING CPI
Parks & Recreation - General Fees (pg. 17)
The Parks & Recreation staff are recommending increasing the capacity per person charge for all Indoor Facility Fees from $0.35 to $0.50 per person. This fee is designed to recover proportional costs such as utilities, custodial services, routine maintenance, administrative overhead, and payment processing. The proposed increase ensures a more accurate recovery of rising operational costs. These fees are not intended to generate revenue beyond the costs of service. This rate is calculated per person based on the facility capacity. The proposed increases are consistent at

42.86% with a value range of $2.09 to $27.84 over the approved CPI.

This table reflects the Resident Rate, if approved, the Non-Visalia Resident Rate will be calculated at plus 25%.

Fire - General Fees (pg. 27)
The Fire Department charges for the use of our Type 1 Engine/Pumper and Aerial Ladder Truck with rates dictated by the FEMA Schedule of Equipment Rates. These two rates have been increased this year by FEMA and exceed the approved CPI rate for the City. These rates represent increases of

61.65% and 18.12% or $58.84 and $33.15, respectively above the CPI. Labor costs are not included in this rate.

Also, the FEMA rate for the Aerial Ladder truck no longer calls out the size/length of the vehicle, instead combining them into one rate, so the department would like to do the same.

Airport - Enterprise Fees (pg. 46)
The Airport is proposing to raise the fee for Overnight Parking Twin-Engine plane. This increase brings the expense closer to the industry standard and closes the gap caused by not increasing the fee since FY 23-24. The increase equates to 25% or $2.63 over the approved CPI.

Solid Waste - Enterprise Fees (pg. 71)
The proposed cost increases for Replacement Cans/Bin, Replacement Keys, and Replacement Locks are based on the city’s purchase prices for these items. These fees are listed as “actual replacement costs to the City” and includes the item cost, sales tax, shipping costs, plus ½ hour of staff and vehicle time. The rate increase for the replacement can is 61.65% or $58.84 over the approved CPI. The increase for the 1 Yard Bin equates to 18.12% or $33.15 over the approved CPI.

The key increase is 4.47% or $0.29 over the CPI and the lock exceeds the CPI by 5.90% or $0.92.

Transit - Enterprise Fees (pg. 77 & 78)
Based on the recommendation of the contracted advertising agency, Transit staff would like to increase the Interior Ad space advertising rates for Fixed Route buses and the VLine. The Fixed Route increases are 5.56% or $0.44 over the approved CPI, and the VLine rates would increase

4.55% or $0.32 over the approved CPI.

ADJUSTED FEES
The following are the proposed fees that have increased by less than the annual CPI, decreased, changed based on the City's salary and benefit changes, or have a change in the fee description.

General Government & Finance - General Fees (pg. 10)
The Finance Department is proposing to revise the description of a Tax Roll fee to include “Lien Releases.” This update would allow departments to charge a fee for releasing property liens, which are used to ensure the collection of fees for services. The fee reflects the actual cost charged by the County, as well as the City staff time required to process the lien release.

Convention Center - Enterprise Fees (pg. 58, 60, & 61)
The Convention Center would like to more clearly define a few of the pricing categories. They are wanting to add the word “Custodial”to the Maintenance charge for Staff Services to include cleaning services, and the word “Bare”to the tables description to make sure it is understood that a table rental does not automatically include linens. The Wi-Fi Services description for Wired DSL High Speed Internet should be adjusted to read “CAT 5/6 Cable (Ethernet)” to more accurately describe the service received.

Solid Waste - Enterprise Fees (pg. 71)
The replacement costs for several commercial bin sizes and lid replacements are adjusted down due to the reduction in the City’scost to purchase these items. The decreases range from -0.68% to -

21.51% or -$0.33 to -$628.69 from what would be allowable with a CPI increase. Some items have increased over prior year pricing, however are still under the CPI.

Business Tax - General Fees (pg. 12)
The Business Tax division would like to remove the fees of copies from their listing. These fees are covered by fees listed in the General Government & Finance section. Additionally, the new software system they have implemented allows citizens to access information online and produce and print documents on their own.

Fire - General Fees (pg. 27)
This fee is no longer applicable due to FEMA combining all sizes of Aerial Ladders into one category.

Fees for the use of the City’s Aerial Ladder are noted in the Fees Exceeding CPI section above.

Convention Center - Enterprise Fees (pg. 59 & 60)
The Convention Center is updating all of the lift rentals per ½ hour rentals with an operator. These two fees are redundant with this change and should be removed to eliminate confusion.

ANNUAL ADJUSTMENTS AUTHORIZED BY ORDINANCE
The following are the proposed fees where fee increases are required by ordinance.

Business Tax
Annual increases are calculated using the three-year average of the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U), U.S. City Average, as previously approved by the City Council and authorized by City Ordinance. This adjustment is not subject to Proposition 26 because it represents an automatic inflationary adjustment rather than a new tax, levy, charge, or exaction. A fee is considered imposed at the time it is approved by the governing body, not when it takes effect.

An inflationary adjustment to an existing levy, charge, or fee is treated as part of the original fee structure set to take effect at a future date. Therefore, it is not considered a fee increase when adjusted for inflation (see Government Code Section 53750(h)(2)(A)).

The applicable index for Fiscal Year 2026-27 is 3.09%, and the adjusted fees will take effect on July 1, 2026.

Impact Fees
The ordinance approving cost-of-living increases for Impact Fees is based on the Engineering News- Record Construction Cost Index (ENRCCI). The applicable index for Fiscal Year 2026-27 is -0.79%.

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’sRates and Fees for Fiscal Year 2026-27.

Fiscal Impact including annual maintenance and operating costs: The proposed increase in City rates and fees are intended to help departments recover costs and reduce reliance on the General Fund. There are no ongoing annual maintenance or operating costs associated with the Rates & Fees.

Prior Council Action: The Council reviewed and approved new fees and adjustments to the Rates and Fees on June 16, 2025, for Fiscal Year 2025-26.

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

There is no action required at this time. This item is for review and discussion only. Council comments and direction are requested. Formal action will be during the Public Hearing at the June 15, 2026, Council meeting.

Rates & Fees
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 they are adequate and correlate with their associated costs.

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

PROCEDURES

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

2. Upon receipt of the requested adjustments, Finance shall review them to ensure 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 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 effective on a date other than the first day of the new fiscal year. See Effective 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) 60 2

c. U.S. Consumer Price Index – Urban Consumers (CPI-U)

2. In addition to these indices, some rates and fees are adjusted using other bases to determine fees. For example, the following bases are also used in limited cases to adjust rates and fees:
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 effective on the first day of the next fiscal year. (e.g., General Fund and Enterprise Funds)

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

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

City of Visalia
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, rec reation facilities and programs for all citizens. Providing an array of quality recreational opportunities is an increasingly complex task due to 1) demands for new and 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 park and recreation programs and services.

Fiscal goals of the Parks and Recreation Department include:

 To become less dependent upon tax support from the City and to become more self-sufficient.  To substantially increase the proportion of the services and operations funded through user fees. The department will make a concerted effort 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 tho ugh the department is a public agency, the City of Visalia is limited by the funds it can provide for all of its services, let alone those not viewed as essential by many taxpayers.  In order to continue as a vital, progressive agency in the community, we n eed 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 offer year -round, diversified park 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 charg e 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 62 4

community as a whole and allows user fees to support programs and services that focus on benefits to individuals. “Attachment A” shows our proposed Cost Recovery Pyramid with the following categories to be used to set program fees based on cost recovery rates:

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 space, 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 Space & Trails
Community Wide Special Events – Egg Hunt, Dia del Nino, 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 offset 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

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 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
Staffing $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

Total $ 3,600
18 Teams ($3,600/18) 200.00
100% Cost Recovery $ 200.00 Fee Per
Team

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
Certification Courses
ViTri (triathlon)



 Postage
 Equipment Purchase - Total cost of equipment purchased divided by years for life expectancy of equipment.
 Utilities
 Facility Rental Cost – cost to rent outside facilities.

DIFFERENTIAL FEES, VARIANCES AND FEE WAIVER
Non-Visalia Resident Fee Differential
To maintain equitable cost recovery for City ‑funded recreation programs, program fees for non‑Visalia residents shall include a 25% surcharge above the established resident rate.

Recreation programs are partially subsidized by the City of Visalia ’s General Fund, which is supported by taxes paid by Visalia residents. Because non‑residents do not contribute to these local tax revenues, the non ‑resident fee differential reflects the portion of program costs that would otherwise be subsidized by the community. This structure allows the City to ensure equitable access for residents while still offering valuable recreation opportunities to individuals who live outside Visalia.

For the purpose of determining fees, a Visalia resident is defined as an individual whose primary residence is located within the incorporated city limits of Visalia. R esidency may be verified through a valid government -issued ID, utility bill, rental agreement, or property tax statement showing an address within city limits. Individuals who do not meet this criterion are considered non-Visalia residents for fee-assessment purposes.

Fee Variances
It is understood that on occasion special consideration 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 Department 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 Parks and Recreation Commission meeting.

Rounding of Fees Follow-Up
At Council’s direction staff evaluated the feasibility rounding fees. • The City maintains nearly 1,600 fees with 34% established by ordinance and an additional 18% subject to Prop 218 requirements. • Cash transactions make up 12% of overall transactions received by City departments.
• Rounding creates compounding variances over time.
• Discrepancies increase annually, reducing the balance between cost recovery and actual costs.

Based on the analysis, staff does not recommend
implementing a rounding policy.
143

Agenda Item Wording:

Narrow lot subdivision discussion - Provide staff direction with respect to narrow lot subdivisions, including, but not limited to: establishing objective subdivision design standards; amending the Planned Residential Development ordinance; amending Engineering standards; and amending City street tree standards.

Agenda Date: 06/01/2026
Prepared by:

Jarred Olsen, AICP, Principal Planner, [email protected], (559) 713-4449 Paul Bernal, Planning and Community Preservation Director, [email protected], (559) 713- 4025
Department Recommendation: Receive the staff report and presentation and provide staff with direction on a zoning and/or subdivision ordinance amendment to the Planned Development Standards, Single-Family Residential Objective Design Standards, and Subdivision Design Standards.

Summary:

Staff has received recent development concepts for narrow lot subdivisions, which staff defines as subdivisions with lots that are below the City’s non-Planned Residential Development (PRD) threshold of 3,600 square feet, wherein a two-car garage becomes the predominant streetscape feature of the residence, and typically precluding any lower-story windows associated with the living space from facing the street frontage. Just in the last few months, the lot widths proposed on two new residential subdivisions with detached units submitted to the City have been proposed with 33-foot widths, a figure which is unprecedented in recent times. Staff has concerns that various factors stemming from this type of product will lead to reduced livability, which is described further below.

The purpose of this work session is to review the narrow lot residential development concept and to provide the City Council with Planning Commission’s consensus, observations, and recommendations pertaining to this emerging residential development concept.

Background Discussion:

Single family residential subdivisions that do not propose to meet the applicable zoning and subdivision requirements with respect to lot widths, lot area, the use of private streets, etc., require the approval of a Planned Residential Development (PRD) permit, which generally follow the same process as a Conditional Use Permit through a public hearing.

A PRD permit allows for deviations from subdivision and zoning standards in which the PRD is proposed, while allowing the City to impose special conditions on the project as appropriate. The intent of allowing these deviations is to allow the City to weigh the intended benefits on the project (such as increased density, more affordable design, or preserving important natural features) with the degree to which the application requests deviations from the standards of the underlying zoning Visalia City Council Printed on 5/29/2026Page 1 of 8

degree to which the application requests deviations from the standards of the underlying zoning district or subdivision design standards.

To date, the City has processed three tentative maps with lots narrower than 46 feet, the minimum width that is allowed without the approval of a Planned Residential Development permit. Two residential subdivision applications with lots approximately 33 feet in width have been submitted in 2026, so far these two residential maps have not yet been reviewed by the Planning Commission, and the City anticipates receiving another within the year. In total, developments with lots narrower than 46 feet would equate to over 1,400 lots. Given the relatively quick procession in receipt of these applications, the City anticipates receiving more of these subdivisions as developers are moving to increase density. This in turn impacts good neighborhood design by causing a development to spread land acquisition costs across more dwellings, increasing both affordability and market reach, which may result in neighborhoods and residents feeling “packed in” rather than being part of a community.

While staff understands that increased density allows for land acquisition and development costs to be spread across more dwellings, staff has concerns that the contemporary detached single-family residential unit, with a street-loaded garage subdivision concept, is reaching an attractiveness limit with respect to density.

This report seeks comments, input and potential direction the City Council to determine if additional codified residential design standards should be considered and potentially incorporated to ensure that small lot residential developments balance density with neighborhood livability.

Discussion:

Recently, residential development proposals have increasingly utilized smaller lot configurations as a means of achieving higher densities. While increased density can support broader housing goals, such as, affordability, efficient land use, and reduced urban sprawl, staff has concerns that excessively small lot sizes may create unintended impacts on neighborhood quality, functionality, and long-term sustainability.

This work session staff report seeks input on considerations associated with narrow / small-lot development patterns and identify approaches on how best to address this type of residential development to ensure that new neighborhoods remain desirable, functional, and aligned with the City’s long-term planning objectives.

STREETSCAPE AND VISUAL CHARACTER IMPACTS:

While density is an important component of housing policy, it should not be pursued at the expense of neighborhood livability and vitality. Developments characterized by extremely narrow and/or small lots may often lack adequate private outdoor space, which can diminish residents’quality of life and reduce overall neighborhood appeal. In addition, with narrow, traditional-shaped lots that strive to facilitate a contemporary residential unit layout (i.e., detached residences with attached garages fronting the street), this may present interfacing issues with the public right-of-way-with increased driveway density, less on-street parking and limits on street tree planting in the parkway space.

Staff’sconcern with these narrow lots is that the constrained space leaves little room, if any, for amenities that make neighborhoods livable.

Staff’sassessment, based on preliminary reviews of recent narrow lot development submittals, is that many narrow lot subdivisions appear to emphasize a streetscape in which garages, rather than Visalia City Council Printed on 5/29/2026Page 2 of 8

File #: 25-0839 Agenda Date: 6/1/2026 Agenda #: 4.
many narrow lot subdivisions appear to emphasize a streetscape in which garages, rather than habitable living space, become the predominant and most visible architectural feature of the neighborhood. When garages occupy a majority of the primary streetscape within a neighborhood, the “public realm” becomes visually dominated by blank garage doors, driveways surfaces, and minimal architectural articulation along the streetscape. This has the potential to also result in neighborhoods that lack visual interest, human scale, community connectivity and a sense of place.

This occurs when front doors are no longer visible and accessible from the street, and residential design elements such as porches, stoops, windows and active living space are diminished and pushed further back from the street. As a result, neighborhoods may feel less inviting and less safe for pedestrians due to the absence of “eyeson the street”. Instead of engaging residential frontages, the streetscape can feel more akin to an access corridor for vehicles rather than a vibrant livable neighborhood.

To ascertain how other communities are addressing narrow and small lot residential designs, staff reviewed other jurisdictions’ narrow and small lot design aspects and concludes that there are several design options that can be required to reduce the visual dominance of garages and promote a more pedestrian-oriented streetscape. Staff reviewed three small lot designs in the communities of Clovis, Rancho Cordova, and San Luis Obispo. These developments emphasize well-designed neighborhoods that incorporate both efficient land use and functional living environments. The design measures included:
· Requiring rear-loaded or alley-loaded garage configurations. · Incorporating front porches, stoops, and articulated entries as prominent design features along the local streetscape.
· Promoting varied architectural elevations to avoid repetitive garage-dominant designs. · Requiring garage setbacks behind the primary front wall of the home.

Addressing garage-dominant design is critical to ensuring that higher-density neighborhoods remain visually appealing, pedestrian-friendly, and consistent with the City’sgoals. Without standards, small- lot subdivisions may create residential environments that prioritize vehicle storage over neighborhood livability.

STREET TREES:

As we are all aware, Visalia is not a coastal city. In general, summers are significantly warmer and less windy than coastal cities. As a result, the need for street trees is greater to help reduce heating of paved surfaces. Aesthetically and functionally, street trees generally improve property values and decrease summer cooling utility bills.

The City’s General Plan contains two objectives with respect to sidewalks where street trees are generally located:
· Objective T-O-8 - “Encouragewalking and bicycling in Visalia for commuting and recreational purposes, and for improvement of public and environmental health”. · Objective T-O-9 “Promote non-motorized accessibility through development of a connected, convenient pedestrian and bikeway network.”
The City’sActive Transportation Plan, adopted in 2017, contains Policy 6.5, which directs the City to “[consider a program for installing shade trees along streets where currently little or none exist to encourage walking.”This policy was adopted in order to meet the objective: “Encourage methods to Visalia City Council Printed on 5/29/2026Page 3 of 8

172
File #: 25-0839 Agenda Date: 6/1/2026 Agenda #: 4.
encourage walking.”This policy was adopted in order to meet the objective: “Encourage methods to increase pedestrian access and mobility for all ages and abilities.” The City street tree ordinance references guidelines for street tree spacing. Generally, on a minimum 50-foot-wide lot, one to two street trees are planted per interior residential lot, and three to five for corner residential lots. With respect to other infrastructure, street trees need to be spaced away from the following elements:
· Driveways and water and sewer lines - 5 feet
· Streetlights - 20 feet
· Fire hydrants - 10 feet
· Other street trees - 25 to 45 feet apart, depending on size Given that every traditional style home needs a driveway and requires individual water and sewer lines, these constraints significantly narrow where street trees may be placed, and some lots are not able to have a street tree. With respect to narrow lots, staff has determined that strict compliance with these standards would likely result in at most one tree for every two interior lots (i.e. 0.5 trees per home).

PARKING:

The Zoning Ordinance requires two parking spaces for every single-family residence, with a minimum of one in a garage. All required parking spaces must be located outside of the required front yard or side street setbacks (22 feet for typical lots; 20 feet for curvilinear lots). To ensure adequate parking is provided for both residents and guests of a PRD, the City’sadopted Residential Objective Design Standards requires PRDs to provide off-street parking at a ratio of one stall for every four units where on-street parking is not provided.

Between 2015 and 2024, the American Community Survey (ACS) identifies that the largest growing housing segment, by number of bedrooms, are dwellings with four (+28%) and five (+34%) bedrooms., As shown below in Table 1, the data in the 2024 ACS identifies that around fifty percent of households with three or more persons households have more than two vehicles.

Table 1. Share of Households by Number of Persons and Vehicles Available Persons per Household
Vehicle(s) Available 1-Person 2-Person 3-Person 4+ Persons 0 10% 1% 3% 1%
1 70% 24% 9% 16%

The data above shows that parking demand increases as number of bedrooms increases, while not surprising, it demonstrates that there can be a strain on “on-street parking” as single-family residences are only required to provide two parking spaces (one of which can be uncovered). While most homes are built with two car garages and space available for vehicles to park in the driveway, the City does not have any ordinances mandating that those garages be used for parking. In most cases, garages may commonly be used for additional storage rather than the intended use. In addition, there are some residential developments that provide homes marketed as “multi- Visalia City Council Printed on 5/29/2026Page 4 of 8

File #: 25-0839 Agenda Date: 6/1/2026 Agenda #: 4.
addition, there are some residential developments that provide homes marketed as “multi- generational”, designed to accommodate families with extended family members or older children who live at home-both of which are usually of age to drive and own a vehicle. Lastly, State law requires the City to permit the conversion of garages into living spaces as Junior Accessory Dwelling Units (which would likely increase the demand for spaces to park) and affords the City no ability to require replacement parking.

Exhibit 5 of Attachment A depicts a diagram of a 33-foot-wide lot with a minimally-compliant driveway - 18 feet wide intended to accommodate a two-car garage. This concept meets most of Engineering standards, with the exception of a 50 percent maximum frontage allowance (i.e. a drive approach cannot exceed 50 percent of the lot width; here it is 54% of the lot width).

A driveway meeting the minimum width requirement, when opposed from an adjacent lot’sdriveway, provides space on the street for only one vehicle of such length (i.e. 22-foot length). Additionally, the minimum width drive approach connecting to a driveway would provide sufficient space for two cars.

There would be no space for an on-street space between two lots with abutting driveways. (In the illustration above, there is only 8 feet between abutting driveways whereas a minimum of 18 feet is needed to accommodate a car.)
Analyzing all of the above information, significantly increasing driveway density may lead to a significant reduction in on-street parking spaces, which in turn could result in illegal parking, such as parking in the front yard, cars obscuring the sidewalk or street when stacked in the driveway, or cars blocking sidewalks, driveways, and fire hydrants. While this is typically handled in an informal fashion, the City handles many complaints each year with respect to parking. Staff has concerns that if these lot patterns are dedicated to the City, City staff would see a higher complaint rate than that of a code-compliant subdivision.

DESIGN ALTERNATIVE: ALLEYS AND PASEOS FOR NARROW LOT SUBDIVISIONS:

Typically seen in subdivisions developed in the early 20th century, but now gaining in popularity in other metros in California, homes whose garages face an alley, thereby allowing the home’sliving space to be the predominate feature along the local streetscape, present a significant benefit by focusing driveways as well as most utilities to be relocated to the rear of the property. This could significantly free up parkway real estate for street trees and enhance the human quality of making a neighborhood livable for its residents. Alley-loaded garages would allow for the parkway to meet a higher street tree density while meeting requirements for fire hydrant and streetlight spacing.

Additionally, on-street parking would be maximally provided. It would also provide significant relief to the City’s solid waste division during collection days as alley parking is prohibited. On the next several pages are aerials and photographs of small lot developments that utilize alleys which allow living spaces to be the predominate feature along the local streetscape.

DISCUSSION WITH PLANNING COMMISSION:

On May 11, 2026, staff discussed this topic at a work session with Planning Commission. Staff posed the following questions to the Commission:

1. At what point does lot width or lot size begin to negatively impact the functionality and appearance of a neighborhood and what objective standards could be considered to establish that threshold?

2. Should additional residential design features be required in small lot/narrow lot subdivisions to Visalia City Council Printed on 5/29/2026Page 5 of 8

2. Should additional residential design features be required in small lot/narrow lot subdivisions to ensure homes contribute positively to the streetscape rather than creating garage dominated neighborhoods?

3. How important is it maintaining visible and accessible front doors, porches, windows, and other pedestrian oriented design elements when a small lot and/or narrow lot subdivision is proposed?

4. Should the City prioritize preservation of on-street parking opportunities when evaluating narrow lot subdivisions?

5. Should narrow lot subdivisions be designed differently than traditional subdivisions? If so, what specific design approaches should the City encourage or require?

6. Should alley-loaded garages or rear-loaded access be required in order to improve streetscape design when narrow lot subdivisions are proposed?

7. Should the City revise the adopted objective criteria for planned residential developments to further enhance residential homes appearance for small lot/narrow lot residential subdivisions?

8. Should the City establish a minimum private open space standard, in terms of minimum dimension and minimum area?

9. Should the City enforce its maximum driveway frontage of 50 percent on all public streets?

10. Should the City require private streets be owned and maintained by a Homeowner’s Association where deviations to City standards are requested?

11. Should the Engineering Division review their standards and make modifications, such as to drive approach standards, as necessary to accommodate these projects?

12.Should the City convert its street tree guidelines to a standard?

13. Any additional input that the Planning Commission would like to provide the City Council regarding the overall future of small lot/narrow lot subdivisions? While Planning Commissioners were not able to answer all of the questions, they shared their concerns over a lack of ground floor windows looking out onto the public way, on-street parking constraints, concerns over solid waste and fire access, and lack of adequate shading.

Resident Jim Reeves expressed concern and said that minimum standards should be held; narrow lots should make up no more than 20% of a subdivision; narrow lots should be alley accessed, no private open space standard should be required; parking should not be prioritized; Engineering standards should not be modified; street tree guidelines should not be a standard; and that additional residential design features should be added when narrow lots are proposed.

In response, staff would like to mention that a Planned Residential Development, which all narrow lot subdivisions would be processed under, currently would not be subject to any limit, either as a percentage or absolute maximum. The City could, through a zoning ordinance amendment, establish an absolute lot width minimum that could only be deviated under unique circumstances (e.g. an oddly Visalia City Council Printed on 5/29/2026Page 6 of 8

an absolute lot width minimum that could only be deviated under unique circumstances (e.g. an oddly -shaped lot not caused by the developer or a predecessor-in-interest). Additional residential design features would require an amendment to the Objective Design Standards that Council adopted in April 2025. Lastly, the City must allow residential developments within the prescribed density range allowed in the Low Density Residential land use designation (2 to 10 dwelling units per acre), but can prescribe development standards on how to get there. There is no requirement in the land use designation that detached single-family residences be proposed; as discussed in the General Plan, “duplex units, townhouses, and small-lot detached housing may be incorporated as part of Low Density Residential developments.”
Local engineer Steve Macias expressed concern that if the City were to require such projects to have alleys, construction material and maintenance costs would increase.

Staff would like to mention that the City could require off-street parking clusters if insufficient guest parking is provided. This would likely result in increased construction and maintenance costs, which the City would require a homeowner’s association to be formed to fund the maintenance thereof.

NEXT STEPS
Should Council wish to direct staff to pursue an ordinance or objective design standards amendments, staff will meet with stakeholders to discuss. After completion of the outreach, staff would bring a proposal to a public hearing with Planning Commission for their recommendation prior to bringing forth the item for your review and approval.

Fiscal Impact including annual maintenance and operating costs: None at this time.

Prior Council Action: On April 29, 2025 and July 23, 2025, Council approved and adopted Single- Family Residential Objective Design Standards and an ordinance to implement those standards, respectively.

Alternatives: Per Council direction.

Recommended Motion (and Alternative Motions if expected):

I move to direct staff to begin drafting ordinance and objective design standards amendments to address narrow and/or small lot design and to conduct outreach with stakeholders to discuss the proposed amendments.

Environmental Assessment Status: N/A
CEQA Review: The requested action, directing staff to prepare an ordinance amendment for review, would be considered not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because any proposed zoning or subdivision ordinance amendment would not cause either a direct or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. Once an ordinance amendment is brought back to your Council, it will be reviewed for environmental impacts under CEQA.

Exhibit 1. Driveways in this Goshen subdivision limit on-street parking space to about one spaces for every five dwellings. Some of these homes are built with single-car driveways with two-car tandem garages.

Exhibit 2. This picture depicts the street above from ground level. This block is absent of street trees. While the street is wide enough to accommodate on-street parking, the driveway density limits the space, that makes the roadway feel oversized.

178

Exhibit 3. The front elevation of this model home in Goshen has no ground floor windows and the front door faces the side yard fence, resulting in an absence of “eyes on the street”. The garage dominates the front of this house to the degree that one would not unreasonable to assume this is the back of a house facing an alley. 179

Exhibit 4. These homes, while narrow and attractive, forego the adequate parkway space to afford a street tree.

This neighborhood is located in San Luis Obispo, a city that experiences more cool days than Visalia.

Exhibit 5. The above diagram depicts the amount of parkway space available along a narrow lot’s frontage, in relation to on-site driveways and adjacent drive approaches.

180

Exhibit 6. This narrow lot subdivision in Anatolia Village in Rancho Cordova has street-, paseo-, and park-facing homes whose garages face an alley or shared driveway. While these streets lack parkways, a sidewalk with parkway here would presumably possess a very dense and connected tree canopy.

Exhibit 7. Located in Harlan Ranch in Clovis, this subdivision has narrow homes fronting onto a street or paseo with alley-loaded garages. This subdivision, built over 16 years ago, now possesses a dense tree canopy.

181

Exhibit 8. Providing alley-loaded garages with a standard rectangular building can leave little space for private open space. This subdivision, located in Righetti Ranch in San Luis Obispo, provides private open space by wrapping the open space with its building.

Exhibit 9. These homes all have alley-loaded garages, and the front of these homes face a public street.

These homes are located in Righetti Ranch in San Luis Obispo.

182

Exhibit 10. A view of the front of the alley-loaded homes shown above. A lack of driveways along the front of the house allows for increased street tree density.

Exhibit 11. These homes front the street or a shared walkway, and they all share a common alley.

These are also located in Righetti Ranch in San Luis Obispo.

City of Visalia – Street Tree Development Standards 3

D. Planting Sites

Street trees shall be planted in the public right of way, easements and medians along transportation corridors . Street trees planted along public corridors provide a dramatic visual impact while creating much needed shade. Street trees in parkways prov ide pedestrians with a shaded walking area separated from automobiles. Street trees shall be placed in the following locations:

1. Commercial
a. Street trees are required along transp ortation corridors in tree wells in sidewalks or parkways.
b. Street trees arre requiremed in street medians (which are in the center of a roadway separating the lanes of traffic).

2. Residential
a. Street trees are required in parkwa ys on residential streets and the landscaped area surrounding a development.
b. Where there are no parkways, street trees are required within 10’ to 12’ of the edge of the right of way and/or easement that extends into private property.
c. Street trees are required in street medians.

E. Tree Spacing
Tree spacing is an important element in a successful landscape. Tree spacing in some areas may vary because of drive approaches, lighting, and utilities.

• Small trees - 20’ to 25’ apart. Small tree shall be used when planting under the utility lines. Small trees should be considered in the area between the wall and the back of sidewalk in the landscaped area surrounding the development. Small tree will generally not be approved for uses as street trees unless overhead utility lines are present.

• Medium size trees - 25’ to 35’ apart. Medium size trees can be used as street trees in parkways in front of homes and the back of sidewalk in the landscaped area surrounding the development.

• Large trees - 30’ to 45’ apart. Large trees can be used as street trees in parkways in front of homes and in the landscaped area surrounding the development.

188
City of Visalia – Street Tree Development Standards 4
F. Tree Locations

1. Approximate spacing should be 30’ to 45’.
-Trees are not to be planted within;
• 5’ of drive approaches
• 5’ of sewer lines
• 5’ of water lines
• 10’ of fire hydrants
• 10’ of light poles

2. Trees are not to be planted within clear vision triangle on corner lots. • Local Streets (30 mph) – 25’ distance from side street curb face to first street tree.
• Collector Streets (40 mph) – 50’ distan ce from side street curb fact to first tree.
• Arterial Street (50’mph) – 90’ distan ce from side street curb fact to first tree.

3. Trees should not be planted where they will obstruct the views of stop signs or traffic signals.

4. No tree that grows taller than 25’ shall be planted under power lines.

Section 2. Planting

Planting a tree is an investment in time , money and the future. Correct planting procedures are critical to achieving a re turn on the investment. Good planting practices greatly improve plant establishment. The City of Visalia shall reject any street tree not planted according to standards. A planting detail is attached.

A. Digging the Planting Pit
In all but sandy soils dig the hole to the depth of the root ball (but no deeper) and two to three times as wide.

B. Installing the Tree
Remove the tree from the container and cut circling roots and those matted at the bottom. Set the root ball so its top is at grade. Backfill with native soil and gently firm the soil to hold the tr ee in place and minimize air pockets.

All trees shall be watered in at planting. In turf areas a 3-inch berm shall be formed around the root ball.

C. Turf
Within six foot parkway there shall be no turf within a three foot ring around the tree. In an eight foot or greater p arkway a five foot ring free of turf shall be formed around the tree. In th e perimeter landscaped area around a development the trees shall be sited in a planter area free of turf. See attached details.
189
RESOLUTION NO. 2025-30
as established in VMC Chapter 17.34. In addition to the provisions i n VMC Chapter 17.34, all off -street parking facilities shall comply with the following standards:

Narrow Lot
Subdivision Discussion
City Council– Work Session
June 1, 2026
Planning Division
191

PURPOSE OF THIS WORK SESSION DISCUSSION
• Review emerging narrow lot subdivision trends in Visalia • Discuss impacts on neighborhood livability and functionality • Solicit input for future action
• Evaluate potential objective design standards and ordinance amendments 192

BACKGROUND
• Narrow lot subdivisions generally
require approval of a Planned
Residential Development (PRD) by
Planning Commission
• Allows the City to weigh the
intended benefits on the project to
which the proposal requests
deviations to standards
• Recent and prospective applications
of about 1,400 lots
193

KEY CONCERNS
• Narrow lot developments often emphasize
garages over habitable living space
• Front doors, windows, porches, and
pedestrian-oriented features are minimized
• Neighborhoods may feel less inviting and less
safe due to reduced 'eyes on the street’
• Driveways and garage doors may dominate
the public realm
194

PARKING IMPACTS
• Narrow lots increase driveway density and
reduce curb parking opportunities
• Households with more residents generally own
more vehicles
• Garage conversions and storage uses may
increase parking demand
• Illegal parking and code enforcement
complaints may increase
Granite Hills subdivision in Goshen. 2-car garages with mix of 1- and 2-car driveways. Parkways can’t support street trees. Very little on- street parking (blue stars); supplemented with HOA parking (see red star)

visalia.gov
Granite Hills Subdivision in Goshen. This block lacks street trees, which are important in our climate. The road is wide enough to support on-street parking, but there isn’t enough space between driveways. 196

DESIGN STRATEGIES OBSERVED

IN OTHER CITIES
• Rear-loaded or alley-loaded garages
• Prominent porches, stoops, and articulated entries
• Varied architectural elevations
• Garage setbacks behind the living space
• Pedestrian-oriented neighborhood design
Heirloom in San Luis Obispo
197
DESIGN ALTERNATIVE – ALLEYS AND PASEOS
• Alley-loaded garages relocate
driveways and utilities to the rear
• Front elevations become more
pedestrian-friendly
• Additional room becomes
available for street trees and
sidewalks
• On-street parking opportunities
are maximized

• ATP Policy 6.5 - “Consider a program for installing shade trees along streets where currently little or none exist to encourage walking.”
203

PLANNING COMMISSION WORK SESSION
• Planning Commissioners’ concerns over lack of ground floor windows looking out onto the public way, on-street parking constraints, solid waste and fire access, and lack of adequate shading.
• One community member recommended establishing minimum standards, requiring alley access and additional residential design features.
• One community member expressed concerns over additional construction and maintenance costs from alleys.
204

NEXT STEPS
• If directed, staff will pursue an amendment to the zoning ordinance or objective design standards.
• Outreach with stakeholders would be conducted prior to Planning Commission and City Council hearing.

Agenda Item Wording:

Civic Center phase 3 scope of work - Receive a presentation discussing the scope of work and amenities to be included in phase 3 of the Visalia civic center project, approve one of the options listed in this report, award a sole source design contract to Darden Architects in the amount of $5,720,609, and appropriate $5,721,000 from the Civic Center Reserve Fund. This item is scheduled for the Work Session; if not completed, it may be continued during the Regular Session portion of this meeting.

Agenda Date: 06/01/2026
Prepared by:

Mike Porter, Civil Engineer, [email protected], (559) 713-4412 Chris Crawford, City Engineer, [email protected], (559) 713-4331 Jason Huckleberry, Engineering & Building Director, [email protected], (559) 713-4495 Department Recommendation: Staff recommends moving forward with design option 1 for the civic center phase 3 project, including the optional training facility, café, fourth floor and health clinic, and awarding a sole source design contract to Darden Architects in the amount of $5,720,609 and appropriate $5,721,000 from the Civic Center Reserve Fund.

Summary:

Staff requested Darden Architects to provide a design fee proposal and construction cost estimate for phase 3 of the Visalia civic center project. Staff is recommending that Council award a sole source design contract to Darden as the architectural and engineering consultant (A/E) for phase 3 based on their previous experience designing phases 1 & 2. The estimate included the base cost for an approximately 54,000 SF, 3-story office building, and optional costs for amenities including a police department (PD) training facility, café & patio space, health clinic, and the addition of a fourth floor for future growth space. These options were discussed and recommended for consideration by the staff involved in the civic center planning committee. It is anticipated that the plans, specifications and estimates (PS&E) phase of the project will last approximately 14 months from the time an agreement can be executed with the design consultant.

Background Discussion:

The Visalia civic center project was planned to be implemented and constructed in phases. Phase 1 consisted of constructing the Visalia emergency communications center (VECC), which was completed in 2018. Phase 2 is currently under construction and includes three buildings, the evidence storage and crime lab, public safety administration building and city council chambers, and is scheduled to be completed in July of 2027. The third and final phase of the civic center would consist of a new city hall building which may include amenities such as an on-site café and health clinic, and an optional police department training facility. The location of the proposed city hall Visalia City Council Printed on 5/29/2026Page 1 of 4

building and PD training facility are shown on the civic center site plan (attached) Darden led the A/E team for the initial civic center site planning and design, design of the VECC, and design of the public safety administration building, evidence building, and council chambers. Darden has already laid out the future building pad location for the city hall building and prepared the architectural details and features for all the civic center buildings. It is staff’s recommendation to use Darden for phase 3 based on the extensive amount of work they have already completed on the civic center project. Darden’s extensive experience with previous phases of the civic center will make design of phase 3 much more efficient. This is expected to result in significant savings in staff time during the course of design and it is also expected to expedite the design timeline for phase 3.

Staff met with the civic center committee to discuss possible options to be included in phase 3. The following are some of the reasons why the committee is recommending the following options:

1. Fourth floor addition - Visalia is a strong and growing community and staff expects this to continue for many years. The committee feels as though it would be wise to allow for additional staff growth and/or opportunities for partnering with other businesses in the future.

2. PD training facility/range - The police department this is a facility that is needed for development of police department staff. If this facility is designed now there may be possible grant opportunities in the future for a shovel ready project.

3. Café/patio - The committee believes that this is a good option to provide employees with needed amenities, a space for staff to enjoy a break and increase mental health wellness, and will aid in employee satisfaction resulting in a more efficient workforce.

4. Health clinic - The committee believes this makes financial sense and that it would be well received by staff and their families. With an increasing number of staff members, it is anticipated that a larger space will be needed than what the city currently has available.

Based on those discussions, it is recommended to design Phase 3 with the above mentioned options. It is more efficient to design the optional features now than to add them to the design documents later. The various optional features can be included in the final bid documents as alternate items if desired so the city can receive bids and make final decisions on the options based on the overall project cost.

Department Recommendation:

Staff recommends City Council:

1. Authorize the City Manager to award the design contract to CWE for the Highland Community connectivity project in the amount of $674,983; and

2. Authorize an additional appropriation of funds in the amount of $703,000 from the Measure R Local Fund (131) for the Project Approvals & Environmental documentation (PA&ED) and the Plans, Specifications and Estimates (PS&E) of the Highland Community connectivity project.

Summary:

The project will provide enhancements to improve the existing multi-modal transportation infrastructure within the Highland Elementary school boundary. The project is located on the following streets: W. Houston Ave. between N. Dinuba Blvd., & N. Santa Fe St., N. Court St., Pearl St., NW 1st Ave., W. Grove St. between NW 1st Ave., & N. Jacob St., W. Goshen Ave. between N. Jacob St. & N.

Stevenson St., and W. Race Ave.

The project will construct traffic calming measures, one protected intersection, one traffic circle, and two raised intersections, 3,000 feet of class IV bike lanes along the south side of W. Houston Avenue, retrofitting of the existing and non-existing curb returns to comply with Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Public Right-of-Way Accessibility Guidelines (PROWAG) requirements, intersection modifications such as concrete paint bulb out curb return configurations, crosswalks to shorten crossings, and possible addition of 80 shade trees. This project also needs an additional appropriation of funds in the amount of $702,983 to subsidize the PA&ED and PS&E phases of the project and staff time for the two phases.

At this time, as per their design agreement, CWE has prepared a lump sum and optional time & materials not to exceed fee items cost proposal of $674,983.00.

The project is tentatively scheduled to begin at the end of May 2026. A topographic survey is anticipated to be completed by mid-summer 2026, followed by completion of the preliminary project design by December 2026. Public outreach meetings are planned for early 2027, with continued design submittals leading to anticipated final design completion by September 2027. Construction is expected to begin in spring 2028 and tentatively to be completed by late 2028.

Background Discussion:

On May 20, 2024, the City Council authorized the City Manager to submit the funding application for the 2024 Active Transportation program (ATP) Cycle 7 for The Highland Community connectivity project.

The ATP is a state-administered grant program created to encourage increased use of active modes of transportation. The purpose and goals of the ATP include the following:
· Increase the proportion of trips accomplished by biking and walking · Increase the safety and mobility of nonmotorized users. · Advance the active transportation efforts of regional agencies to achieve greenhouse gas reduction.
· Enhance public health, including reduction of childhood obesity. · Ensure that disadvantaged communities fully share in the benefits of the program. · Provide a broad spectrum of projects to benefit many types of active transportation users.

Cycle 7 of the ATP is funded by various federal and state funding sources. The ATP is a highly competitive statewide program and, in the State of California, is the only dedicated funding program for walking and biking projects. For Cycle 7, approximately $569 million was estimated to be available for award for active transportation projects. The Budget Act of 2024, signed by the Governor in June 2024, included a $400 million reduction to the ATP from General Funds appropriated to the program in the 2022 California State Budget. This reduction decreased the total funding availability for Cycle 7 of the ATP to approximately $169 million.

This reduction further increased the competitiveness of the program. A total of thirteen (13) projects were awarded funding through the Statewide and Small Urban and Rural components of the Active Transportation Program. The City of Visalia was awarded funding for three (3) projects, receiving a combined total of $51,468,000 in ATP funds to support projects that encourage the increased use of active modes of transportation.

The Highland Community connectivity project was one of three projects awarded to the City. The award provides funding for both the Infrastructure (IF) component, which supports construction of corridor improvements, and a separate Non-Infrastructure (NI) component focused on public education and outreach.

Infrastructure Component (IF):

The Highland Community connectivity project as submitted through the Active Transportation Program application, is an improvement project within the Highland Elementary attendance boundary Visalia City Council Printed on 5/29/2026Page 2 of 7

236
File #: 25-0618 Agenda Date: 6/1/2026 Agenda #: 2.

Program application, is an improvement project within the Highland Elementary attendance boundary in north Visalia consisting of multimodal improvements.

The Highland project is a continuation of the Houston Community Connectivity project along W.

Houston Ave. It extends approximately 150 feet east of N. Willis St.to the Santa Fe roundabout, following a similar design. The project will eliminate on-street parking on both sides of W. Houston Avenue to accommodate Class II bike lanes on the north side and Class IV protected bike lanes on the south side.

Along the Houston Avenue corridor, the project improvements will include a protected intersection at W. Houston Ave. and Dinuba Boulevard, along with enhanced striping, crosswalks, and accessible curb ramps to improve pedestrian comfort and connectivity.

Along the Grove Avenue corridor, project enhancements on local streets will include neck-down intersections implemented through bulb-outs, as well as upgraded ADA curb ramps and crossings. A total of five intersections along the corridor will be improved to help calm traffic and enhance pedestrian comfort and mobility.

Other project enhancements include upgrades to four additional intersections within the Highland community with traffic-calming measures similar to those planned for the Grove Avenue corridor, including neck-down intersections and upgraded curb ramps. The intersections that will receive improvements are Goshen Avenue at Stevenson Street, Goshen Avenue at Jacobs Street, State Route 63 at 3rd Avenue, and State Route 63 at Pearl Street.

Additionally, the project will implement a mini roundabout at the intersection of Highland Street and Grove Avenue to help calm traffic at this higher-volume neighborhood intersection.

Because the project scope was included in the adopted Active Transportation Program award, any modifications to the project scope must be coordinated with and approved by the California Transportation Commission.

Non-Infrastructure Component (NI):

While this staff report focuses on initiating design services for the infrastructure component (IF) of the project, it is important to highlight that the ATP award also includes a non-infrastructure component (NI) intended to support public education and community outreach related to active transportation. A separate staff report will be presented to Council at a later date to consider the award and implementation of the non-infrastructure component.

The non-infrastructure program is structured as a citywide initiative focused on education, encouragement, and safety awareness related to walking and bicycling. While the program will help familiarize residents with improvements associated with the Highland community area, the activities funded through this component are not limited to the project area and will be implemented throughout the City of Visalia.

Planned activities include community initiatives, such as bicycle skills classes, guided community rides, and in-person education and encouragement. These efforts focus on bicycle and pedestrian safety, safe routes to school programming, after-school programs, and school assemblies aimed at increasing awareness and promoting safe walking and bicycling practices. These efforts are intended to encourage safe use of active transportation facilities and support broader mobility and safety goals Visalia City Council Printed on 5/29/2026Page 3 of 7

to encourage safe use of active transportation facilities and support broader mobility and safety goals across the community.

Consultant Selection Process.

On April 25, 2025, the City Council awarded the on-call civil engineering services contract for RFQ 24 -25-29 to six (6) civil engineering consultants consisting of Peters Engineering Group, 4 Creeks, Inc., Provost & Pritchard Consulting Group, TRC Engineers, Inc., Lane Engineers, Inc., and CWE.

CWE is one of the on-call consultants on the current list. The Highland Community connectivity project design is being funded with local funds and CWE was selected on a rotational basis to submit a proposal for design services related to this project. The project will construct traffic calming measures, one protected intersection, one traffic circle, and two raised intersections (to be reviewed and approved by Caltrans), 3,000 feet of class IV bike lanes along the south side of W. Houston Avenue, retrofitting of the existing and non-existing curb returns to comply with Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Public Right-of-Way Accessibility Guidelines (PROWAG) requirements, intersection modifications such as concrete paint bulb out curb return configurations, crosswalks to shorten crossings, and possible addition of 80 shade trees that could potentially be replaced with stamped concrete medians, pending approval from the California Transportation Commission to modify the currently approved project outcome.

Public Outreach
Engineering staff conducted public outreach to gather input and feedback from the community to ensure the community’s needs are addressed. The public outreach conducted included:
· General Public & Online Surveys - 4/4/24 to 4/18/24
· 1 Pop Up Event
o Senior Center - 5/16/24
· 2 Public Workshops
o Highland School ProYouth Heart Workshop - 4/5/24
o Walk Audit Highland School - 02/29/24
Because some of the Highland area enhancements will be permanent, engineering staff will conduct an additional targeted, project-specific outreach effort to ensure that affected stakeholders are informed about the proposed improvements, project progress, and anticipated construction impacts.

This effort, in conjunction with the project’sNon-Infrastructure (NI) component, will support public education and increase community awareness of the new configuration.

Once the consultant and city staff have completed public outreach and developed an acceptable conceptual design, it will be presented to the Council for final feedback and approval.

Fiscal Impact:

The Highland Community connectivity project preliminary phases are funded by Measure R Local funds and the construction phase is funded by the ATP state grant. ATP grant funds are allocated for each specific phase of the project as requested at time of project application. The project ATP fund application consists of two components: (1) Infrastructure, which includes the physical aspects of the project such as design, right-of-way, and construction activities; and (2) Non-Infrastructure, which focuses on promoting walking and bicycling through education, encouragement, and safety Visalia City Council Printed on 5/29/2026Page 4 of 7

initiatives.

The current fiscal impact associated with this action is limited to the design phase of the project. The project’sphases; Project Approvals & Environmental Documentations (PA&ED), Plans, Specifications & Estimates (PS&E) are funded through the Measure R Local (131). The current Measure R Local budget allocation falls short of the amount required to cover the project: (1) infrastructure component.

This funding shortfall indicates that additional funds are required to award the design contract in its entirety. Approval of additional funding will be necessary to proceed with the contract award. As shown in the summary below, the current budget allocation is insufficient to fully cover the anticipated design costs, resulting in a deficit of $703,000.

PA&ED, PS&E Budget Summary
Current Measure R Local (131) 1) Infrastructure Design (CP0801)$ 150,000 2) Non-Infrastructure $ 71,000
Total Current Budget Allocation$ 221,000
Design Consultant Fees $ 674,983
Design Other Charges Estimate $ 100,000
Design Contingency 10% $ 78,000
Total Estimate $ 852,983
Current Measure R Local (131) 1) Infrastructure Design Budget ($150,000) Additional Funding Needed - Measure R Local (131) $702,983 As detailed in the scoping portion of this report there are two components. Infrastructure, which this staff report pertains to, and non-infrastructure, which will be presented to council at a later date for award.

Staff recommends the additional appropriation of funds in the amount of $703,000 from the Measure R Local Fund (131).

The construction portion of this project is funded by the State Active Transportation Program Cycle 7 grant in the amount of $4,950,000.

Ongoing Maintenance Costs
Ongoing maintenance costs for this project consist of the typical expenses associated with street and tree maintenance within the City’s right-of-way.

Generally, the future ongoing street maintenance costs within the project limits are anticipated to match existing, with the exception of those associated with the proposed improvements along the Houston Avenue corridor, from Dinuba Boulevard to Santa Fe Street. These are expected to increase based on the additional striping and associated enhancements needed to establish the Visalia City Council Printed on 5/29/2026Page 5 of 7

proposed Class II and Class IV bike lanes.

Staff anticipates the need to refresh the painted striping once every two years, with the replacement of the thermoplastic striping every five years following project construction. While the exact layout has not been finalized, the additional painted striping is estimated to cost $6,000 each time, with the thermoplastic striping at crosswalks and stenciling estimated at $8,000. Additionally, to achieve the classification of the Class IV bike lane, approximately 225 ground-mounted modular curbs would be installed. The cost of these is currently $135 per unit. The longevity of these is unknown at this time but is estimated at 10 years. However, these may need to be replaced more frequently as damage and wear occurs. Finally, with the delineated bike lane, additional special street sweeping will be required utilizing the City’srecently purchased bike lane sweeper, at an estimated annual cost of $3,000. Using this information, staff estimates a projected average annual increase in maintenance costs to be approximately $11,000.

Tree maintenance is estimated at $400-$750 per tree annually during the first five years of establishment for medium-sized trees, including irrigation (root watering system and summer support), structural pruning, staking adjustments, weed control, and general care. After year five, as trees become established, ongoing maintenance decreases but continues due to valley heat stress and canopy development, averaging $175-$350 per tree per year.

Agenda Item Wording:

Authorize the purchase of traffic signal poles - Authorize the City Manager to purchase traffic signal poles, cabinet and controllers from JAM Services Inc. in the amount of $190,960 for the Ferguson Avenue and Mooney Boulevard intersection project.

Deadline for Action: 6/1/2026
Submitting Department: Community Development
Prepared by:

Rudy Lopez, Associate Engineer, [email protected], 713-4270 Dolores Verduzco, Financial Analyst, [email protected], 713-4540 Rebecca Keenan, Senior Civil Engineer, [email protected], 713-4541 Chris Crawford, City Engineer, [email protected], 713-4331 Jason Huckleberry, Engineering and Building Department Director, [email protected], 713-4495
Department Recommendation: Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager to purchase traffic signal poles, cabinet and controllers from JAM Services Inc. in the amount of $190,960 for the traffic signal project at the intersection of Ferguson Avenue and Mooney Boulevard.

Summary:

Based on past coordination with suppliers and procurement experience on comparable capital improvement traffic signal projects, the estimated lead time for fabrication and delivery of traffic signal poles is currently between 24 and 36 weeks from the date an order is placed. The project is currently in the purchasing department queue for advertising, with an estimated 3-4 months before the bid process is finalized. By authorizing procurement at this stage, staff anticipates that the signal poles can be delivered by approximately November 2026, allowing sufficient time for coordination with construction activities and maintaining the overall project delivery schedule.

Background Discussion:

The intersection of W. Ferguson Ave. and N. Mooney Blvd. has been evaluated as part of the city’s traffic signal prioritization procedures and meets the criteria for signalization. The intersection is to be controlled by fully actuated eight-phase operation (protected left-turns), with pedestrian crossings on each leg of the intersection, overhead safety lighting, a battery backup system, video vehicle detection, emergency vehicle preemption equipment, and other amenities to provide for a fully functioning traffic signal. The intersection improvements also consist of necessary restriping to conform to the traffic signal and the construction or replacement of non-compliant ADA pedestrian ramps with ADA and PROWAG compliant pedestrian ramps.

City Furnished Signal Poles
City staff is recommending purchasing the signal pole package ahead of the construction contracts being executed to get ahead of the 24-36-week lead time. Purchasing the signal poles, cabinet and controllers now can have them delivered by November 2026. If staff waits for the bid to be completed and the contractor contracts to be executed this could delay the pole delivery by 4 to 5 months pushing delivery to April 2027 or later.

Quote Process
Staff requested a quote for the signal poles, cabinet and controllers based on the signal design from the following suppliers:

Contractor Quote Amount
1 JAM Services Inc. $190,960.00
2 Arrow/SWARCO $194,045.04
3 AZCO supply $210,738.65
4 Del Sol Resources $0.00
5 Ameron $0.00
6 Associated Lighting Representatives (ALR) $0.00
JAM Services Inc. provided the lowest quote among all vendors for the signal poles, cabinet, and controllers. Arrow/SWARCO submitted the second-lowest quote, while AZCO Supply provided the third and highest quote received. Del Sol Resources, Ameron, and Associated Lighting Representatives (ALR) did not respond to the City’s request for a quote.

Fiscal Impact: The traffic signal project at the intersection of Ferguson Avenue and Mooney Boulevard is a multi-funded project with funds budgeted from the Measure R Local Fund (131) and Transportation LTF Funds (281). See the project funding breakdown below.

The Visalia Police Department and VUSD mutually agree to maintain YSOs on VUSD campuses from July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2028, for the purpose of providing police presence, services, support, directions to students and VUSD staff, and providing criminal or juvenile investigative services during the school years.

The goal of the YSO program is to improve the attendance, grades, and behavior of the students at the campuses who have demonstrated problems at school, home, and in the community; to enhance campus and public safety; and to develop positive police-youth relationships.

Background Discussion:

Visalia Police YSOs will remain on the campuses of the following five (5) District High Schools:

Golden West High School, El Diamante High School, Mt. Whitney High School, Redwood High School, Sequoia High School; as well as five (5) of the District’sMiddle Schools: Divisadero, La Joya, Valley Oak, Ridgeview, and Green Acres.

Agenda Item Wording:

Approve a lease agreement - Authorize the City Manager to execute a new lease agreement with the Tulare County Office of Education for the continued lease of a portion of the Manuel F.

Hernandez Community Center for operation of the Tulare County Early Childhood Education Program.

Agenda Date: 06/01/2026
Prepared by: Ivan Nicar, Parks and Facilities Manager 559-713-4564; [email protected]; Jason Glick, Parks and Recreation Director 559-713-4042; [email protected].

Department Recommendation: Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute a new lease agreement with the Tulare County Office of Education (TCOE) for the continued lease of a portion of the Manuel F. Hernandez Community Center for an initial one-year term, with the option to extend for an additional one-year period.

Summary:

The proposed action authorizes the City Manager to execute a new lease agreement with the Tulare County Office of Education (TCOE) for continued use of a portion of the Manuel F. Hernandez Community Center to operate early childhood education programming. The agreement would begin July 1, 2026, for a one-year term with an option to extend for an additional year.

This lease continues a longstanding partnership that provides preschool services to Visalia families and ensures uninterrupted program delivery following the expiration of the current agreement in June 2026. The proposed lease includes a first-year rent of $20,794.54, with future adjustments based on CPI, along with TCOE’s proportional share of utilities and maintenance costs.

Approval supports ongoing community programming while maintaining cost recovery for facility use.

Background Discussion:

The City of Visalia has a longstanding partnership with TCOE to provide pre-school programming for families in Visalia. This partnership includes TCOE leasing the Fairview Community Center and portions of the Manuel F. Hernandez Community Center.

On January 6, 2020, the Council authorized the Fairview Community Center lease agreement, retroactive to July 1, 2019, for an initial five-year term with up to two additional five-year extensions.

The longer-term lease enabled TCOE to qualify for additional grant funding for facility improvements.

On July 18, 2022, the Council authorized an additional one-year lease agreement for the Manuel F.

Hernandez Community Center with an option for an additional one-year extension. TCOE exercised this extension, with the lease set to end in June 2026. TCOE has expressed interest in continuing the Visalia City Council Printed on 5/27/2026Page 1 of 3

The proposed lease agreement, if authorized by Council, will commence on July 1, 2026, for an initial one-year term, with the option for a one-year extension, for a maximum term ending June 30, 2028.

Any extension will include an annual adjustment based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for all urban consumers, as published by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Additionally, TCOE will pay a proportional share of utilities and landscape maintenance charges based on total square footage.

Prior Council Action:
· July 18, 2022: Authorized an additional one-year lease agreement for Manuel F. Hernandez Community Center with a one-year extension option.
· January 1, 2019: Authorized a five-year lease agreement for Fairview Community Center. · July 13, 2009: Authorized five-year lease agreements for both Manuel F. Hernandez and Fairview Community Centers with one five-year extension option.

An assignment by LESSEE for the benefit of creditors or the filing of a voluntary or involuntary petition by or against LESSEE under any law for the purpose of adjudication of LESSEE's liabilities; or for reorganization, dissolution, or arrangement on account of or to prevent bankruptcy or insolvency; unless the assignment or proceeding, and all consequent orders, adjudications, custodies, and supervisions are dismissed, vacated, or otherwise permanently stayed or terminated within 30 days after the assignment, filing or other initial event.

F. Failure to maintain said Demised Premises as required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

20. NOTICE OF DEFAULT
As a precondition to pursuing any remedy for an alleged default by LESSEE, LESSOR shall, before pursuing any remedy, give notice of default to LESSEE and to all qualifying subtenants whose names and addresses were previously given to LESSOR in a notice or notices from LESSEE. A qualifying subtenant is a subtenant in possession under an existing sublease that is proper under this Agreement.

If the alleged default is nonpayment of rent, taxes, or other sums to be paid by LESSEE as provided in the paragraph on rent, or elsewhere in this Agreement directed to be paid as rent, LESSEE shall have IO days after notice is given to cure the default. For the cure of any other default, LESSEE shall promptly and diligently, after the notice, commence to cure the default and shall have 10 days after notice is given to complete the cure, plus any additional period that is reasonably required for the curing of the default. After expiration of the applicable time for curing a particular default, or before the expiration of that time in the event of emergency, LESSOR may at LESSOR's election, but is not obligated to, make any payment required of LESSEE under this Agreement or perform or comply with any covenant or condition imposed on LESSEE under this Agreement and the amount so paid plus the reasonable cost of any such performance or compliance, plus interest on such sum at the rate of 10% per year from the date of payment, performance, or compliance (herein called "Act"), shall be deemed to be additional rent payable by LESSEE with the next succeeding installment of rent. No such Act shall constitute a waiver of default or of any remedy for default or render LESSOR liable for any loss or damage resulting from any such Act. 288

21. REMEDIES IN THE EVENT OF DEFAULT
If any default by LESSEE shall continue uncured, following notice of default as required by this Agreement, for the period applicable to the default under the applicable provision of this Agreement, LESSOR has the following remedies in addition to all other rights and remedies provided by law or equity, to which LESSOR may resort cumulatively or in the alternative:

A. LESSOR may, at LESSOR's election, terminate this Agreement by giving LESSEE notice of termination. On the giving of the notice, all LESSEE's right in the Demised Premises and in all improvements shall terminate. Promptly after notice of termination, LESSEE shall surrender and vacate the Demised Premises and all improvements in broom-clean condition, and LESSOR may re-enter and take possession of the Demised Premises and all remaining improvements and eject all parties in possession or eject some and not others or eject none; provided that no subtenant qualifying under the non -disturbance provisions of this Agreement shall be ejected. Termination under this paragraph shall not relieve LESSEE from the payment of any sum then due to LESSOR or from any claim for damages previously accrued or then accruing against LESSEE.

B. LESSOR shall be entitled, at LESSOR's election, to each installment of rent or to any combination of installments for any period before termination, plus interest at the rate of 10 percent per year from the due date of each installment. LES SOR shall make reasonable efforts to mitigate LESSEE's liability under this provision. LESSOR shall be entitled at LESSOR's election to damages in the following sums: (1) all amounts that would have fallen due as rent between the time of termination of this Agreement and the time of the claim, judgment, or other award, less all amounts by which LESSOR shall reasonably have mitigated those rental losses, plus interest on the balance at the rate of 10 percent per year, and (2) the "worth" at the time of the claim, judgment, or other award. of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the term exceeds the then fair rental value of the Demised Premises, or the higher/lower of the fair rental value unencumbered by the Agreement and improvements "Wort h'', as used in this provision, is computed by discounting the total at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of the claim, judgment, or award, plus one percent.

LESSOR shall not be considered to be in default under th is Agreement unless (1) LESSEE has given notice specifying the default and (2) LESSOR has failed for 10 days to cure the default, if it is curable, or to institute and diligently pursue reasonable corrective or ameliorative acts for noncurable defaults.

22. WAIVER OF DEFAULT
No waiver of any default shall constitute a waiver of any other breach or default, whether of the same or any other covenant or condition. No waiver, benefit, privilege, or service voluntarily given or performed by either party shall give the other any contractual right by custom, estoppel, or otherwise. The subsequent acceptance of rent pursuant to this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any preceding default by LESSEE other than that default in the payment of the particular rental payment.

23. LEASE ENCUMBRANCE
LESSEE understands and agrees that it cannot encumber the Lease, leasehold estate, and the improvements thereon by a deed of trust, mortgage, or other security instrument to assure payment of any promissory note of LESSEE without the prior express written consent of the LESSOR in each instance, which consent shall be at the sole and exclusive discretion of the LESSOR. If any deed of trust, mortgage, or other security instrument that encumbers the Agreement, leasehold estate, and the improvements thereon is entered into by LESSEE without LESSOR's prior express written consent, LESSOR shall have the right to declare this Agreement in default.

LESSOR will agree to the subordination of its ownership interest to a construction loan, if any, that LESSEE may need to obtain to finance the costs of the construction of the improvements proposed for the property as set forth in the Lease agreement.
289

24. EMINENT DOMAIN
If the whole or a substantial part of the Demised Premises hereby leased shall be taken by any public authority under the power of eminent domain, the term of this Agreement shall cease as to the part taken, from the day the possession of that part shall be taken for any public purpose, and the rent shall be paid up to that day, and from that day LESSEE shall have the right either to cancel this Agreement and declare the same null and void or to continue in possession of the remainder of the same under the terms herein provided, except that the rent shall be reduced in proportion to the amount of the Demised Premises taken.

All damages awarded for such taking shall belong to and be the property of the LESSOR whether such damages shall be awarded as compensation for diminution in value to the leasehold or to the fee of the Demised Premises herein leased, LESSEE's only remedies being the election of cancellation or reduction in rent; provided, however, that LESSOR shall not be entitled to any award made for the taking of any installation or improvements on the Demised Premises belonging to LESSEE.

25. ATTORNEYS' FEES
If either party brings any action or proceeding to enforce, protect, or establish any right or remedy, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys' fees. Arbitration is not an action or proceeding for the purpose of this provision.

26. NOTICES

Director, 713-4495; [email protected] Jason Glick, Parks & Recreation Director, 713-4042; [email protected] Department Recommendation: Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager to award the construction contract to BDM Inc., for the Anthony Community Center gymnasium HVAC improvement project in the amount of $169,785 and to appropriate an additional $138,325 to the project from the General Fund.

Summary:

This project will replace the Anthony Community Center gymnasium’sexisting evaporative coolers and natural gas heaters with a modern HVAC system sized to control the facilities temperature in all seasons.

On May 7th, 2026, the city purchasing division received and opened four (4) bid packages for this project. BDM Inc. submitted the low bid of $169,785.

Staff recommends that the city council award the construction contract to BDM Inc. which will require the appropriation of an additional $138,325 to the project.

Background Discussion:

Originally installed in 2005, the Anthony Community Center gymnasium’sheating and cooling system is now 21 years old and at the end of its useful life. As the original designer of the Anthony Community Center, TETER Inc. was sole sourced to provide design work for the HVAC improvements and delivered approved plans on March 31st, 2026. The City of Visalia issued (Request for Bid) RFB 25-26-53 on April 7th, 2026 to obtain construction bids. The following details the bid solicitation scope of work, establishment of the low bidder, bid cost analysis, and the recommended construction award.

Bid solicitation scope of work: The solicitation for this project called for a lump sum bid to perform all work related to the HVAC improvements as well as any landscaping repairs required as a result of Visalia City Council Printed on 5/29/2026Page 1 of 4

work related to the HVAC improvements as well as any landscaping repairs required as a result of operating a crane in the adjacent park. The city elected to separately purchase the HVAC units, due to their extended lead time, and will furnish them to BDM Inc. for installation.

Establishing low bidder: As allowed by the California Contract Code, section 20103.8, this bid solicitation specified that the method to be used to determine the apparent low bidder would be based on the “lowest total bid”. For this project, BDM Inc. submitted the low bid of $169,785.

Bryce Nagel, Assistant Engineer, (559) 713-4197, [email protected] Christopher Crawford, City Engineer, (559) 713-4331, [email protected] Jason Huckleberry, Engineering & Building Director, (559) 713-4495, [email protected] Department Recommendation: Staff recommends that the City Council authorize city staff to execute construction change order #7 for $189,175.75 to Agee Construction Corp for the Riggin Avenue widening project, from Kelsey Street to Shirk Street, to change the structural street section at the Shirk and Riggin intersection to a standard hot mix asphalt and aggregate base section to facilitate keeping the intersection open for both east and west bound traffic lanes .

Summary:

The Riggin Avenue widening project started construction in September 2025 and is scheduled for completion in early June 2026. Due to Riggin Avenue being a main arterial street for the north side of Visalia, the street experiences high traffic volumes at any given time. The project was designed with the structural street section to be full depth reclamation with cement (FDR-C) which would have required a full closure of the Shirk St. & Riggin Ave. intersection. The FDR-C process requires approximately 4-5 days to mix and cure the cement in the street subgrade section. To ensure traffic was able to flow in all directions, staff worked with the contractor to change the structural section of the intersection to a standard hot mix asphalt over aggregate base section allowing the intersection to be built in phases. The cost for this change was $189,175.75.

Background Discussion:

The Riggin Avenue widening project spans from Kelsey Street to Shirk Street and consists of widening the existing two-lane roadway into a divided four-lane roadway. Improvements include construction of center medians, landscaping, street lighting, interconnect conduit, storm drainage, turn pockets, Class IV bike lanes, Cal Water main installation, and signalization at the Riggin Avenue and Shirk Street intersection.

The construction contract was awarded in April 2025, and construction started in September 2025.

The project has experienced several delays due to seasonal rain events and Southern California Edison relocations. The original completion date was estimated for mid-March 2026. However, due to these impacts, the current completion is anticipated to be June 2026.

Riggin Avenue is a main arterial roadway for the city and experiences high traffic volumes throughout the day. As a result, traffic needed to remain open in all directions during construction. The project was originally designed with a full-depth reclamation with cement (FDR-C) structural section.

However, completing the FDR-C work at the Riggin Avenue and Shirk Street intersection would have required a full intersection closure. Installing FDR-C in multiple phases is not an option, as a phased FDR-C can result in longitudinal cracking and compromise the structural integrity of the roadway section.

To maintain traffic flow in all directions, staff worked with the contractor to revise the structural section at the intersection to Class II Aggregate Base. This alternative can be constructed in phases without negatively impacting the structural performance of the roadway section. The cost provided by the contractor for this change is $189,175.75. This change is necessary due to the revised construction materials required to maintain traffic flow in all directions, as well as the additional traffic phasing needed to concentrate construction efforts at the Riggin Avenue and Shirk Street intersection. This change order was reviewed and recommend for approval by the change order on May 27, 2026.

Fiscal Impact: The Riggin Avenue widening project is a multi-funded project with funds budgeted from Transportation Impact Fee (241), Measure R Regional Fund (133), and an Economic Development Administration Grant. There are sufficient funds available in the project contingency budget to fund construction change order no. 7.

Agenda Item Wording:

Approve a contract for heavy vehicle towing- Approve a contract with Prime Towing for heavy- duty vehicle towing services. The contract shall not exceed $30,000 annually, totaling $150,000 over the term of the contract, with an option to renew annually for up to (4) additional one-year terms.

Agenda Date: 06/01/2026
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 approve a contract with Prime Towing for heavy-duty vehicle towing services. The contract shall not exceed $30,000 annually, totaling $150,000 over the term of the contract, with an option to renew annually for up to (4) additional one-year terms.

Summary:

Approval of this contract will provide the City with reliable on-call heavy-duty towing services to support fleet operations, maintenance activities, and emergency response needs. Prime Towing was selected as the lowest responsive and responsible bidder through a competitive bidding process and has previously provided satisfactory service to the City, ensuring continuity and operational efficiency for the heavy-duty vehicle fleet.

Background Discussion:

The City of Visalia Purchasing Division solicited bid proposals through Request for Bid (RFB) 24-25- 52 for an annual contract to provide on-call towing services for the City’s heavy-duty vehicle fleet, which consist of approximately 170 vehicles. The contract is intended to ensure timely and reliable towing support for the City operations and fleet maintenance needs involving heavy-duty equipment and vehicles.

Two bids were received and evaluated as part of the competitive bidding process. Prime Towing submitted the lowest responsive and responsible bid in the amount of $5,999.52, while Express Towing submitted a bid of $7,200.00. Based on the evaluation of the bids received, Prime Towing was determined to provide the best overall value to the City. Approval of the contract will ensure the City maintains reliable heavy-duty towing services to support fleet operations and emergency response needs.

The bid amounts submitted by Prime Towing and Express Towing were based on estimated quantities of towing services included in the Request for Bid for evaluation purposes only. The proposed annual contract amount of $30,000 is based on the City’s historical expenditures for heavy- duty towing services and is intended to provide sufficient funding capacity for as-needed towing Visalia City Council Printed on 5/29/2026Page 1 of 2

services throughout the contract term.

Prime Towing also held the City’s previous heavy-duty towing services contract and has satisfactorily provided towing services during the prior contract term. Approval of the contract will provide continuity of service and maintain established coordination with City staff and fleet operations.

Historical expenditures for heavy-duty towing services are as follows:

FY23-24 = $20,623
FY24-25 = $25,477
FY25-26 = $21,850
Fiscal Impact including annual maintenance and operating costs:

These cost are budgeted annually in the Fleet Maintenance division (5012). Expenditures are paid initially out of the Fleet Maintenance Fund, and subsequently charged to the vehicle user departments monthly, as incurred.

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

I move to approve a contract with Prime Towing for heavy-duty vehicle towing services. The contract shall not exceed $30,000 annually, totaling $150,000 over the term of the contract, with an option to renew annually for up to (4) additional one-year terms.
