Visalia, CA 93291
File #: 25-0838 Agenda Date: 6/15/2026 Agenda #: 1.
Agenda Item Wording:
Conceptual Park Approval - Approve conceptual designs for the new 5.5-acre neighborhood park located at the Pearl Wood property.
Agenda Date: 06/15/2026
Prepared by: Jason Glick, Parks and Recreation Director 713-4042, [email protected] Department Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Visalia City Council approve to adopt conceptual design number two (2) for the proposed Pearl Wood property neighborhood park located one-quarter mile east of McAuliff Street, north of Cameron Creek.
Parks should include amenities that encourage regular use, recreation, and community interaction, as active and well-utilized parks help create safe, welcoming public spaces. The most successful neighborhood parks are those that provide a variety of opportunities for residents of all ages to gather, play, exercise, and connect with one another.
Staff recommends Concept number (2) because it offers a well-rounded mix of amenities that will serve the daily recreational needs of the surrounding neighborhood while creating a vibrant and inviting community space. The combination of play areas, open space, gathering opportunities, and recreational features provides something for a wide range of users-from young children and families to teens, adults, and seniors. This balanced amenity mix encourages repeat visitation, supports healthy and active lifestyles, and fosters opportunities for social interaction and community building.
Concept number (2) also thoughtfully aligns with the scale and character of a neighborhood park. It delivers meaningful recreational opportunities without overwhelming the site, ensuring that the park remains a comfortable and accessible destination for nearby residents. By creating a space that is active, welcoming, and responsive to community needs, Concept number (2) best fulfills the vision of a neighborhood park that residents can enjoy for years to come.
Summary:
On September 9, 2025, the Visalia Parks and Recreation Commission reviewed the conceptual designs for the Pearl Wood property neighborhood park (park to be formally named at a later date) and recommended conceptual design number three to the Visalia City Council.
On January 20, 2026, City staff presented three conceptual designs for the Pearl Wood property to the City Council. While the Council did not move forward with conceptual design number three, it did approve the removal of several amenities from the Pearl Wood neighborhood park project, including Musco field lighting ($600,000), restrooms ($250,000), and parking improvements ($47,000). These reductions generated an estimated cost savings of $897,000, lowering the overall project cost to approximately $6,670,600. Additionally, the City Council directed staff to return with updated Visalia City Council Page 1 of 4 Printed on 6/10/2026

File #: 25-0838 Agenda Date: 6/15/2026 Agenda #: 1.
conceptual designs that eliminate the botanical garden, incorporate a mini pitch, and provide alternatives featuring either two or four pickleball courts.
In response to this direction, staff will present three revised conceptual designs for the Pearl Wood property that reflect the Council’s guidance provided during the January 20, 2026 meeting.
Background Discussion:
The Pearl Wood property consists of a 5.5-acre neighborhood park site associated with the development of 273 single-family residential homes. During the planning process, City staff coordinated closely with developers to determine the location, size, and construction approach for the new neighborhood park. The Pearl Wood neighborhood park project will be constructed in partnership with D.R. Horton Homes. Under this agreement, the developer will construct the park improvements, and the City will reimburse eligible construction costs. This approach helps expedite park development while allowing the City to maintain oversight and input on the final design.
To assist with the development of conceptual park designs for the Pearl Wood property, the developer retained Quad Knopf. The consultant team worked closely with City staff and the community through a series of public outreach meetings held during Spring 2025. A total of three public meetings were conducted for the Pearl Wood property, including meetings held on May 3, May 8, and May 13, 2025. Two meetings were hosted at Kiwanis Park, and one meeting was conducted at City Hall West during the regular Parks and Recreation Commission meeting.
These meetings focused on gathering community input regarding desired park amenities for the Pearl Wood property, located near Road 148 and Cameron Creek. Community members were provided the opportunity to review amenity options, provide feedback, and vote on preferred recreational features to help guide the conceptual design process.
The public was asked to consider amenities within the following categories:
Traditional Sports Amenities:
Multi-Purpose Lighted Athletic Field (soccer, baseball, flag football, and softball), lighted pickleball courts, lighted tennis courts, and lighted basketball courts.
Community Amenities:
Amphitheater, demonstration garden, botanical garden, butterfly garden, interpretive signage, and public art.
Active Amenities:
Traditional playgrounds (ages 2-5 and 5-12) with shade sail structures, adventure/nature playgrounds with shade sail structures, obstacle course/parcourse equipment, disc golf, a ½-acre BMX pump track, cornhole, a lighted walking path, mini pitch court, and outdoor handball court.
Site Amenities:
Solar pedestrian lighting, restrooms, seating areas, parking lot improvements, and drinking fountains.
The voting results for the Pearl Wood property identified the following top six preferred amenities:

The design teams used the feedback gathered during the three community input meetings to create three conceptual designs for the Pearl Wood property. In addition to the valuable input provided by the public, the design teams, working in collaboration with City staff, carefully considered several other key factors. These included park size, fit, available space, compatibility of amenities with the surrounding neighborhood, overall functionality, initial construction costs relative to the available budget, and the long-term cost and complexity of ongoing maintenance.
Fiscal Impact including annual maintenance and operating costs: The estimated project budget for the Pearl Wood property neighborhood park is approximately $6,670,600, with annual operations and maintenance costs estimated at $33,000. Funding for the construction of the Pearl Wood property neighborhood park will be provided through the City’s park impact fee program, which is specifically designated to support the development of new recreational facilities and park improvements.
Prior Council Action: At the January 20, 2026 meeting, the Visalia City Council approved the removal of several amenities from the Pearl Wood park project, including Musco field lighting ($600,000), restrooms ($250,000), and parking improvements ($47,000). These reductions generated an estimated cost savings of $897,000, reducing the overall project cost to approximately $6,670,600.
Alternatives: That the Visalia City Council make a different recommendation on the proposed conceptual designs for Pearl Wood property neighborhood park other than conceptual design number two (2).

Department Recommendation: Staff recommends Council receive a presentation on the 4th of July fireworks detail focused on deterring the use of illegal fireworks.
Summary:
The Visalia Fire Department will once again be partnering with the Visalia Police Department to perform proactive fireworks education and enforcement during the Independence Day holiday. Life safety and fire prevention is again the primary mission, and messaging will be disseminated to the community through social media and printed materials. Dedicated patrols and a call center will be operational on the nights of July 3rd and July 4th. The call center is available for community members to report the use of illegal fireworks. The information received by the call center is relayed to patrols in the field to focus efforts on where the illegal activity is happening.
Background Discussion:
As Independence Day nears and celebrations begin, the Visalia Fire Department is coordinating proactive City efforts to deter the use of illegal fireworks.
In 2021, Council substantially increased the fines issued for the use of illegal fireworks in the City of Visalia. The fee structure now begins at $2,000 for the first violation, escalates to $3,000 for the second violation, and to $4,000 for the third violation and each additional violation. Violations are tracked over a three-year period meaning, if a resident received a citation last year for $2,000, and is cited again this year, this year’s citation will be $3,000. In 2025 a total of 73 citations were issued.
Citations were primarily issued on the 4th of July, however some citations were also issued prior to and after completion of the illegal fireworks detail.
For the 2026 fireworks season, the Fire Department is again focusing on preventing the use of illegal fireworks within the City of Visalia. Multiple social media messages are being created and will be shared across all City of Visalia social media platforms. Banners with information pertaining to fines for the use of illegal fireworks will be hung at all Visalia fire stations, and posters with fine information and how to report the use of illegal fireworks will be hung at all City facilities with public access. The website, www.visalia.gov/celebratesafely, provides safety tips for safe and sane fireworks use and pet safety. The website also provides the address of each fire station to encourage citizens to anonymously drop off illegal fireworks at any Visalia fire station for safe disposal.

Additionally, approximately 41,000 mailers will again be added to City of Visalia utility bills. These mailers provide citizens with information for use of safe and sane fireworks, as well as the dedicated reporting number for illegal fireworks use. The mailer also contains citation information as a deterrent for using illegal fireworks.
A call center will once again be operating in the evenings of July 3rd and 4th. The call center consists of ten dedicated call-takers inputting the reports of illegal fireworks into a mapping system that feeds the location to patrol units in the field. The call center serves two purposes. First, the call center lowers the illegal fireworks burden on 911 dispatchers during this especially busy holiday and allows dispatchers to focus on standard operations and calls for service. Second, the call center provides a robust system for citizens to report their concern to a City employee with a minimal amount of wait time. Citizens can report illegal fireworks use by calling 559-513-8080. Reporting a specific address is most beneficial, however a general location, such as cross streets, may also be provided.
Currently, reports of illegal fireworks are down when compared to the same period of 2025. There will be dedicated patrols periodically through the month of June with an increase around the Independence Day holiday. Staff are partnering with the Visalia Police Department for both preventive efforts and enforcement during patrol details. Each dedicated patrol unit will consist of a Visalia Police Officer and Visalia Fire Department member.
In 2021, Council directed Fire Department staff to implement a rewards system as an incentive for citizens to assist with enforcement efforts. This rewards system provides a $500 reward for information leading to the citation of individuals selling illegal fireworks within the community. This rewards system is intended to help catch individuals who are selling illegal fireworks in our community and potentially reduce the number of illegal fireworks used within the community. In 2025, the first $500 reward was issued for information leading to the successful confiscation of a large quantity of illegal fireworks being sold within our community.
Illegal fireworks pose a great danger to our community, not only endangering citizens’ properties by increasing the risk of grass, tree and fence fires, but they also increase the risk of structure fires that can and have turned fatal. During the Independence Day holiday, Fire Department resources are often spread thin. Increased activity and celebrations coupled with high temperatures often yield an increase in both structure and wildland fires as well as medical aids, vehicle accidents and other calls for service. The use of illegal fireworks needlessly puts our community at risk by tying up valuable resources that could be handling other emergency incidents. One structure or grass fire can quickly commit multiple fire department units for an extended period and rendering this units unavailable to address other emergencies. The Fire Department does increase staffing beyond normal staffing levels to best manage the increased service demand.
Fiscal Impact including annual maintenance and operating costs: Cost for the 4th of July detail will be the personnel costs for staffing the call center and the dedicated patrols, and the material cost of the mailers.

Resolution approving grant for vehicles - Approve Resolution No. 2026-29 authorizing the application accepting the requirements set for by the San Joaquin Valley Air pollution Control District Public Benefit Grants Program for alternative fuel vehicle purchases.
Agenda Date: 06/15/2026
Prepared by:
Ben Litwack, Public Works Manager, 559-713-4671, [email protected] Nick Bartsch, Public Works Director, 559-713-4052, [email protected] Department Recommendation: Staff recommends that the City Council approve Resolution No. 2026-29 authorizing submittal of a grant application and accepting the requirements set for by the San Joaquin Valley Air pollution Control District Public Benefit Grants Program for alternative fuel vehicle purchases at the Visalia Water Reclamation Facility (WRF).
Summary:
The San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District’s Public Benefit Grants Program provides funding for public agencies to purchase new electric, plug-in hybrid, or alternative fuel vehicles to support cleaner public fleets. Eligible applicants include cities, counties, special districts, public educational institutions, and other qualifying public agencies within the SJVAPCD boundaries that agree to a three-year contract period and retain ownership and operation of the vehicles during that term. The Public Works Department intends to use the grant to purchase five electric golf carts for the Visalia Water Reclamation Facility, including two for Mechanical Maintenance and three for Operations. The two carts in Maintenance will become permanent parts of the fleet since one is a viable replacement and the other to serve a growth position. The other three carts are being purchased as surplus because grant funds are available and will not be counted as permanent parts of the fleet until they are needed for growth positions or to replace a cart that needs to be retired. he carts will support daily operations and maintenance activities by helping staff move efficiently throughout the facility while transporting tools and equipment, with the grant expected to fund the full purchase cost.
Background Discussion:
The San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District is currently offering the Public Benefit Grants Program. The purpose of this program is to fund the purchase of new electric, plug-in hybrid, or alternative fuel vehicles for public agencies to promote clean air alternative-fuel technologies and the use of low- or zero-emission vehicles in public fleets.
The applicant must meet several different criteria to be eligible for submission of the grant application. Some these criteria include, being a public agency such as cities, counties, special districts; public educational institutions, or any other public agency as defined by Government Code Visalia City Council Page 1 of 3 Printed on 6/12/2026

section 6252, including those agencies provided for in Article IV and Article VI of the California Constitution, that are located within the geographic area of the SJVAPCD (see attached map for boundaries), commit to a three (3) year contract period, and own and operate the vehicle(s) for the full term of the contract.
The Public Works Department intends to purchase five electric golf carts at the Visalia Water Reclamation Facility. Two carts will be allocated to the Mechanical Maintenance division, one for a previously scheduled replacement of an older unit and one to equip a new position that was added in fiscal year 2025. Three carts will be allocated to the Operations division to increase the size of its golf cart fleet from 5 to 8. These additional carts will allow staff to rely less on three older units which are beginning to require more maintenance due to their age. Using the three newer carts instead of the older carts will extend the service life of the older carts. The three additional carts will also serve to increase the fleet size so all operators have will an available cart when there are more than five are working in a shift.These vehicles will be used by the WRF staff to quickly move from location to location while transporting tools and equipment to perform various operations and maintenance tasks. The grant will fund the entire purchase of these vehicles. Staff intends to purchase all five carts from California Turf Equipment & Supply Inc. by utilizing Sourcewell Account # 091024-JCS. Upon Council approval of the grant application and subsequent approval by the SJVAPCD, staff will return to Council with a request to accept the grant funds and approve a purchase agreement for the carts.
Fiscal Impact including annual maintenance and operating costs: The two Mechanical Maintenance carts will cost a total of $39,305.17. One of the Mechanical Maintenance carts currently has $11,000 budgeted in the Wastewater Fund 431 Capital Budget in FY26 under VH0304. Staff originally intended to transfer funds as necessary to cover the additional cost of the cart. $19,600 is being proposed in the next Capital Budget for the 2nd Mechanical Maintenance cart in FY27. The three carts in Operations will cost $56,028.25 total and are not currently budgeted.
The Public Benefit Grants Program will fund up to $20,000 for each new vehicle, with a maximum funding of $100,000 per calendar year. This will completely cover the cost of all 3 units.
Prior Council Action:
May 20, 2024: Council approved resolution 2024-22 approving the application accepting the requirements set forh by the SJVAPCD Public Benefits Program for alternative fuel vehicles to aid in the purchase of 4 vehicles for the Parks and Recreation Department.
Alternatives: Reject staff’s recommendation and not adopt Resolution 2026-269 for the application of the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District Public Benefit Grants Program.
Recommended Motion (and Alternative Motions if expected):
I move to approve Resolution No. 2026-29 authorizing submittal of a grant application and accepting the requirements set forth by the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District Public Benefit Grants Program.

Staff is recommending that the City Council authorize the City Manager to utilize the California Association for Coordinated Transportation Morongo Basin Transit Authority cooperative contract for paratransit vehicles to enter into a contract with Model 1 Commercial Vehicles for the purchase of two (2) Class P passenger transit vans for the Visalia Transit Dial-A-Ride service in the amount of $388,920.90.
Background Discussion:
Visalia Transit currently operates ten (10) cutaway buses, eight (8) of which are required to support peak demand on the Dial-A-Ride (DAR) service that serves the city of Visalia, unincorporated community of Goshen, and the cities of Exeter and Farmersville. Currently, the DAR fleet has an average age of twelve (12) years and average lifetime miles of 194,000, with half of the buses being over fourteen (14) years old and over 250,000 miles, which is beyond their useful life. The useful life is determined by age and mileage requirements set by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). FTA has determined that light-duty mid-sized buses (cutaways, 25’ to 35’ buses with a seating capacity of 16-25 passengers) have a useful life of 5-years and/or 150,000 miles. However, buses don’t necessarily need to be replaced upon being five (5) years old or over 150,000 miles. Buses that are properly maintained can typically have more useful life than what is determined by the FTA, making it more fiscally responsible and beneficial to keep in longer service. Additionally, the cost of parts for buses during repairs is covered by the Operations and Maintenance contractor. This means that the negotiated maintenance price between RATP Dev and the City, when established, took into consideration the age of the vehicles. With each of these variables considered, it is more fiscally responsible for the City to get as many useful life years out of each of its vehicles as possible and safe. Lastly, the ability to get more useful life years out of a vehicle also assists in spreading out vehicle replacements rather than creating a situation where a large number of buses or vehicles would need to be replaced at the same time. This is strategic in budgeting and planning for fleet Visalia City Council Page 1 of 3 Printed on 6/12/2026

would need to be replaced at the same time. This is strategic in budgeting and planning for fleet replacement.
The California Air Resource Board (CARB) Innovative Clean Transit (ICT) regulation requirements for all public transit agencies do not apply to this purchase. The Class P vans do not fall in the ICT requirements due to their vehicle type and weight. The ICT regulation applies to Standard Transit, Articulated, Over-the-Road (Coach), Double-Decker, and Cutaway buses with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) greater than 14,000 pounds. Transit staff are looking at the feasibility of battery-electric vans, but currently there are none that meet Transit’s range requirements and would need to be charged regularly throughout the day.
At this time, staff recommends the purchase of two (2) new Braun-Lonestar Class P passenger transit vans to replace two (2) 2011 model year Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) cutaway buses with over 200,000 miles, which have outlived their useful lives. Transit staff have looked at the maximum passenger load of the DAR service to see if the 18-passenger cutaway is needed for the service.
Contracted staff (RATP) confirmed that there are no more than eight (8) ambulatory passengers and no more than two (2) passengers in a wheelchair onboard the buses at any given time. The cutaways being replaced are 12-18 passengers with 2-3 wheelchair positions and double the price of the Class P passenger transit van. Transit staff are recommending the downsize of most of the DAR vehicles from 18-passenger cutaways to 8-passenger transit vans. The details of each vehicle to be replaced under this project are listed below in Table 1 “Replacement Vehicle Details”.

Re: Notice of Name Change and Headquarters Address Change To whom it may concern:
Effective June 13, 2023, Creative Bus Sales, Inc. will be changing its name to Model 1 Commercial Vehicles, Inc.
This change was made with great intentionality and vision from our leadership team. The name change was necessary to address our expansion into additional service and product lines while also demonstrating how we want to move into the future. We faced a reality that our company name, Creative Bus Sales, had become too limiting. We were already more than buses and more than sales. We will expand even further than bus sales by leading the industry in electric vehicles and commercial alternative fuel applications. The update to Model 1 Commercial Vehicles reflects both our business strategy and the gofirst mindset we bring to the industry.
Our Federal Employment Identification Number and tax status as an Indiana S Corporation are not changing. Model 1 Commercial Vehicles remains a family-owned company and looks forward to serving our customers for many years to come.
Additionally, on July 1, 2023, our Indianapolis headquarters will be moving to allow for continued expansion. Our new Indianapolis address will be:

Agenda Item Wording:
Appropriations Limit - City Council approval of Resolution 2026-40 adopting the 2026-27 fiscal year appropriations limit for the City of Visalia’s General Fund.
Agenda Date: 06/15/2026
Prepared by: Renee Nagel, Finance & Technology Director 713-4375 [email protected], Amee Swearingen Budget Analyst 713-4170 [email protected] Department Recommendation: That the City Council adopt Resolution 2026-40 establishing the appropriations limit for the 2026/27 fiscal year in the amount of $248,202,443 for the General Fund.
Summary:
Annually Council is required by the State to approve the appropriation limit for the City of Visalia. The Appropriation Limitation imposed by Propositions 4 and 111 creates a restriction on the amount of tax revenue which can be appropriated in any fiscal year. The limit is based on actual appropriations during the 1978-79 fiscal year and is increased each year by a factor comprised of the change in population combined with the change in California per capita personal income.
Background Discussion:
The General Fund is the only fund subject to the appropriation limit mandated by the State of California. Any challenge to the appropriations limit must be brought within 45 days from the effective date of the resolution.
The State of California provides the population and California per capita personal income change data for local jurisdictions to calculate their appropriations limit. Based on the following data received from the Department of Finance, a population change of 0.21% and per capita income change of
4.95 %, the appropriations limit for Visalia is $248,202,443. The total General Fund appropriation subject to limitation for the fiscal year 2026/27 is $103,407,200 which is well under the appropriations limit as shown in Table 1, Gann Appropriations Limit.

Attachment 1
RESOLUTION NO. 2026-40
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF VISALIA ESTABLISHING THE 2026-27 APPROPRIATIONS LIMIT
WHEREAS, in 1979, California voters approved Proposition 4 (Article XIII-B of the California State Constitution). Informally known as the “Gann Initiative,” Article XIII-B provides limits to the amount of tax proceeds state and local governments can spend each year.
WHEREAS, in 1980, the State Legislature added Section 9710 of the Government Code stating that the governing body of each City must establish, by resolution, an appropriations limit for the following year. The limit for any fiscal year is equal to the previous year’s limit, adjusted for population changes and the change in the U.S. Consumer Price Index (or California per capita personal income, if smaller). The necessary statistical information is provided by the California Department of Finance.
WHEREAS, Proposition 111 modified Article XIII-B. A City may choose which annual adjustments to use. The adjustment factors include the growth in the California Per Capita Income, or the growth in the non-residential assessed valuation due to construction within the City and the population growth within the City or county.
AND IT FURTHER provided for the 2026-27 fiscal year, any challenge to the appropriations limit must be brought within 45 days from the effective date of the resolution.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the appropriations limit as defined by Propositions 4 and 111 is set at $248,202,443 for 2026-27 fiscal using a percentage change growth factor of 0.21% and change in per capita income of 4.95% as established by the California Department of Finance.

California Revenue and Taxation Code section 2227 requires the Department of Finance to transmit an estimate of the percentage change in population to local governments.
Each local jurisdiction must use their percentage change in population factor for January 1, 2026, in conjunction with a change in the cost of living, or price factor, to calculate their appropriations limit for fiscal year 2026–27. Attachment A provides the change in California’s per capita personal income and an example for utilizing the factors to calculate the 2026–27 appropriations limit. Attachment B provides the city and unincorporated county population percentage change. Attachment C provides the population percentage change for counties and their summed incorporated areas. The population percentage change data excludes federal and state institutionalized populations and military populations.
Population Percent Change for Special Districts
Some special districts must establish an annual appropriations limit. California Revenue and Taxation Code section 2228 provides additional information regarding the appropriations limit. Article XIII B, section 9(C) of the California Constitution exempts certain special districts from the appropriations limit calculation mandate. Special districts required by law to calculate their appropriations limit must present the calculation as part of their annual audit. Any questions special districts have on this requirement should be directed to their county, district legal counsel, or the law itself. No state agency reviews the local appropriations limits.
Population Certification
The population certification program applies only to cities and counties. California Revenue and Taxation Code section 11005.6 mandates Finance to automatically certify any population estimate that exceeds the current certified population with the State Controller’s Office. Finance will certify the higher estimate to the State Controller by June 1, 2026. Please note: The prior year’s city population estimates may be revised.
The per capita personal income change is based on historical data.
If you have any questions regarding this data, please contact the Demographic Research Unit at (916) 323-4086.

Attachment A
A. Price Factor: Article XIII B specifies that local jurisdictions select their cost of living factor to compute their appropriation limit by a vote of their governing body. The cost of living factor provided here is per capita personal income. If the percentage change in per capita personal income is selected, the percentage change to be used in setting the fiscal year 2026–27 appropriation limit is:
Per Capita Personal Income
Fiscal Year Percentage change
(FY) over prior year
2026-27 4.95
B. Following is an example using sample population change and the change in California per capita personal income as growth factors in computing a 2026–27 appropriation limit.
2026–27:
Per Capita Cost of Living Change = 4.95 percent
Population Change = -0.14 percent
Per Capita Cost of Living converted to a ratio: 4.95 + 100 = 1.0495 100
Population converted to a ratio: -0.14 + 100 = 0.9986
100
Calculation of factor for FY 2026–27: 1.0495 x 0.9986 = 1.0480 101

Prepared by:
Margie Perez, Housing Specialist, [email protected], (559) 713-4460 Nichol Ritchie, Finance Manager, [email protected], (559) 713-4379 Renee Nagel, Finance Director, [email protected], (559) 713-4375 Department Recommendation: Staff recommends that Council receive a summary of the funding available for the Encampment Resolution Funding Program and authorize staff to apply for Encampment Resolution Funding Round 5 up to $5,000,000 for operational funds for the Visalia Navigation Center to provide interim shelter and support Majestic Gardens and Sequoia Village for permanent housing, and services coordination.
Summary:
The Encampment Resolution Funding (ERF) program is a competitive grant program through the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) available to assist local jurisdictions to provide support to people experiencing homelessness in targeted encampments and place them into permanent housing. On March 27, 2026, HCD released an ERF Round 5 Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) as shown in Attachment A. The ERF program funds person-centered proposals that resolve unsheltered homelessness in encampments. Proposals should address safety and wellness in encampments, resolve critical encampment concerns, and transition people into interim shelter and/or permanent housing. The total estimated available funding is $93 million. Prior ERF NOFAs available funding ranged from $237 million to $298 million; therefore, ERF Round 5 represents significantly the lowest funding available to date.
ERF Round 5 is not intended to fund a community-wide encampment resolution program.
Applications may propose to serve a single individual encampment, or an encampment zone of multiple encampments that meets all three conditions listed below. Fifty percent of funding will be prioritized for encampments identified on state right-of-way. The ERF 5 proposed encampment sites are Highway198 and South Route 63 (Mooney Boulevard).
Eligible activities include permanent housing, prevention and diversion, interim housing, non-housing services, and administration.

California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) released Encampment Resolution Funding (ERF) Round 5 Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) on Friday, March 27, 2026.
The Encampment Resolution Funding Program funds, person-centered proposals that resolve unsheltered homelessness in encampments. The ERF Round 5 NOFA is on a statewide competitive basis. Proposals should address safety and wellness in encampments, resolve critical encampment concerns, and transition people into interim shelter or permanent housing. Proposals may strengthen existing, successful models and/or support new approaches that provide safe, stable, and permanent housing for people in encampments. Permanent housing placement is a priority for this round.
Funds Available: The total estimated available funding for ERF Round 5 is $93 million. Prior ERF NOFAs available funding ranged from $237 to $298 million; therefore, this is significantly the lowest amount of available ERF funding. Pursuant to the authorizing statute, up to 50 percent of the funds authorized for ERF Round 5 shall be prioritized for local jurisdictions with proposals that address encampments on State right-of-way.
Key Dates: The ERF Round 5 NOFA was released on Friday, March 27, 2026. The ERF Round 5 NOFA is due to HCD by June 30, 2026. Awards are expected to be announced in September of 2026. If remaining ERF Round 5 funds are available, a second NOFA may be opened in the fall of 2026. However, this is very unlikely since this round of funding is the lowest that has been available since the program began.
Eligible applicants: Eligible applicants are local jurisdictions including cities, counties and Continuums of Care (CoC). Local jurisdictions will have priority to apply for ERF programs on state right of ways over CoC applicants. ERF-Round 5 funds may only be used for proposals that connect people experiencing homelessness in encampments to interim shelter with clear pathways to permanent housing or place people directly into permanent housing.
Encampment Sites to Address: ERF Round 5 is not intended to fund a community-wide encampment resolution program. Applications may propose to serve a single individual encampment, or an encampment zone of multiple encampments that meets all three conditions listed below.
Pursuant to the authorizing ERF statute, up to 50 percent of the funds authorized for ERF Round 5 shall be prioritized for local jurisdictions with proposals that address encampments on State right-ofway. Applications proposing to address encampments on a state right-of way must obtain a letter of support from their local Caltrans District Office. The letter must include:
· A commitment from Caltrans in support of the ERF proposal. · An acknowledgement that Caltrans will only take action on that encampment site in collaboration with the grantee, unless critical circumstances exist (imminent threat to life, health, safety, or infrastructure) and must be immediately addressed. · Be signed by the local Caltrans Deputy District Director of Maintenance or their designee. “Encampment” generally refers to any location where multiple individuals experiencing unsheltered homelessness have established a place of residence, and where the ongoing presence and conditions of the site result in sustained or significant impacts to health, safety, public access, or infrastructure. Encampments may exist on public or private land and are typically characterized by the presence of personal belongings, makeshift or semi-permanent structures, and repeated or prolonged habitation.

The defining criteria of an encampment are not based on the number of occupants, but on the degree of impact on:
· The individuals residing in the encampment, including exposure to environmental hazards, violence, or lack of access to services and housing;
· The surrounding community, including limitations to public access, increased health and safety risks, or strain on public systems; and
· Critical infrastructure and natural resources, including blocked rights of way, degraded environmental conditions, or damage to public property.
Applicants must provide justification for the prioritization of the specific encampment, encampment zone(s), or scattered sites proposed to be served. If an applicant proposes to prioritize multiple encampments (encampment zone), the encampments may only be addressed through a single application if all of the following apply:
1) There is a single justification for prioritizing the encampments, 2) The demographics and service needs of the residents of the encampments are sufficiently similar, and
3) The same set of services, and service providers, including outreach, interim and permanent housing programs, will be used to serve and house the individuals in the encampments.
Eligible Uses: Eligible uses include but are not limited to:
· Permanent Housing
o Delivery of Permanent Housing - Acquisition, construction, and/or rehabilitation to develop permanent housing.
o Rapid Rehousing - Rental subsidies, security deposits, landlord mitigation. o Operating Subsidies - Operating subsidies for affordable or permanent supportive housing units.
· Prevention and Diversion
o Prevention and diversion to permanent housing, including flexible forms of assistance to prevent people that have been placed into permanent housing from losing their housing and returning to homelessness.
· Interim Housing
o New clinically enhanced congregate shelters, existing non-congregate shelters, and operations of navigation centers/shelters.
o Improvements to emergency shelters.
· Services Coordination
o Street Outreach to assist persons to permanent housing placement. o Services Coordination access to workforce, education, and training programs. Services at a safe parking site and case management.
· Administration
o Up to 5% may be applied to administrative costs.
Proposal Requirements: ERF Round 5 funds may only be used for proposals that connect people experiencing unsheltered homelessness either to interim shelter with clear pathways to permanent housing or directly to permanent housing. ERF Round 5 will fund actionable, person-centered, local Visalia City Council Page 3 of 7 Printed on 6/12/2026

File #: 25-0813 Agenda Date: 6/15/2026 Agenda #: 5.
proposals that meet the ERF 5 NOFAs threshold requirements to provide stable housing and address the immediate health and safety needs of the individuals residing in specific encampments.
Proposals must seek to resolve targeted experiences of unsheltered homelessness by addressing the safety and wellness of people within encampments, resolve critical encampment concerns, and transition individuals into interim shelter with clear pathways to permanent housing or directly into permanent housing, using data-informed, non-punitive, low-barrier, person-centered, Housing First, and coordinated approaches. Proposals may bolster existing, successful models and/or support new approaches that provide safe, stable, and ultimately permanent housing for people experiencing homelessness in encampments.
Staff Recommendations for Application:
Proposed ERF 5 Encampment Sites: Staff recommends the encampment sites to be 1) Highway 198 and 2) South State Route 63 (Mooney Boulevard) corridor extending from Highway 198 to Mooney Grove park.
To apply for priority funding on state right-of-way it requires a letter of commitment from the local Caltrans District Office. A new requirement in the ERF 5 application to apply for priority funding on a State right-of-way, the city must conduct the following items listed below and as shown in Attachment E - Caltrans Letter of Support. The coordinated service administrator(s) will assist in meeting these ERF 5 requirements.
o Work to resolve encampments to deter repopulation of sites. o Report all weekly actions taken and document outcomes. o Engage service-resistant individuals and use all tools available to resolve housing individuals.
Proposed ERF 5 Activities: Staff recommends the following proposed activities:
· Interim Housing - The Visalia Navigation Center at approximately $2,000,000 for two years of operational funds including rental subsidies for Visalia Navigation Center ERF clients. · Permanent Housing - Majestic Gardens at approximately $1,000,000 for rental subsidies for 19-units, case management, and onsite security
· Permanent Housing - Sequoia Village at approximately $1,000,000 for rental subsidies for 19-units, case management, and onsite security.
· Services Coordination at approximately $1,000,000 for street outreach, transportation assistance, landlord liaison, Coordinated Entry Systems (CES) and Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS) oversight, and client housing flex funds. Client housing flex funds consists of security deposits, rental applications fees, landlord mitigation funds, holding fees, credit repair, motel vouchers, furnishing, and rental subsidies. A to be determined non-profit(s) will be selected to administer coordinated services via a formal procurement process. · Administration at no more than 5% of the grant award.
It’s very common for ERF proposed activities to be modified and/or removed according to the State’s requests. Therefore, if awarded ERF 5 funding, staff will return to council to approve appropriations according to State approved ERF 5 activities.

File #: 25-0813 Agenda Date: 6/15/2026 Agenda #: 5.
Compliance with State Encampment Funds: City and county applicants must identify whether they have a current and formal policy and/or ordinance to address encampments that fully complies with the California Interagency Council (Cal ICH) Guidance on Addressing Encampments as shown on Attachment B - Cal ICH Guidance on Addressing Encampments. To meet this requirement, applicants may submit internal standard operating procedures, staff training materials, and/or scope of work language from service or housing provider contracts that substantiate the jurisdiction meets all components required in the state guidance.
City and county applicants must provide the policy, ordinance, or any other documentation that substantiates the jurisdiction follows all components set forth in the state guidance. If there is no policy or ordinance to address encampments, or if the encampment policy is not fully compliant with state guidance, city and county applicant(s) must provide a timeline by which it will adopt or update the policy or ordinance to come into compliance with state guidance within three months of award. If the jurisdiction does not adopt a fully compliant policy within three months of award, the award may be rescinded and funds awarded to the next eligible applicant.
The compliant encampment ordinance must include:
· 48-hour written notice, unless there is an imminent threat to life, safety, or health.. o The 48-notice must include:
§ The anticipated date and time of the enforcement action, § Information on services, including shelter, that are immediately available to persons living in the encampment, and
§ Information on how unattended belongings will be handled the day of the enforcement action, including what will be stored, how they can be recovered, and the date by which they must be claimed.
§
The 48-hour written notice is not currently in place. The current policy is a 24-hour written notice. Staff believes, that the change would not have a direct impact on homelessness. This will not affect any necessary immediate criminal activity that requires immediate removal. · Storage of collected items (Code Enforcement already meets this requirement) o Personal belongings collected at the encampment site that are not a health or safety hazard shall be collected, tagged, and stored for not less than 60 days. o Items include eyeglasses, operational wheelchairs, walkers, crutches, other medical equipment, habitable tents, personal papers (such as photographs, albums, ID's, bank statements, and legal papers), backpacks, containers, and operational bicycles, scooters, and strollers.
The Governor released a Model Encampment Ordinance on May 12, 2025, included herein as Attachment C - CA Model Encampment Ordinance. Adopting a local ordinance that is consistent with all core aspects of the Model Encampment Ordinance would be compliant with Cal ICH’s guidance and satisfy the ERF Round 5 NOFA requirements. The Model Ordinance is a tool for applicants to use in developing their own encampment policy, but an encampment policy may still be compliant with Cal ICH’s guidance if it diverges in some ways from this Model Ordinance.
State and Local Collaboration: The ERF Round 5 application requires collaboration with state and local partners to mitigate risk and address safety concerns while ensuring a pathway for individuals Visalia City Council Page 5 of 7 Printed on 6/12/2026

living in encampments to move into safe and stable housing. Proposals with encampments on State right-of-way require a letter of support from the local Caltrans District Office. The letter must include a commitment from Caltrans that they are in support of the ERF Round 5 proposal.
Homeless Management Information System (HMIS): Pursuant to HSC section 50254, ERF Round 5 grantees and their subcontractors must report client data into their local Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS), and that data must be shared quarterly with the statewide Homeless Data Integration System (HDIS).
Housing First Requirement: All ERF Round 5 grantees must comply with the core components of Housing First as provided in Chapter 6.5 (commencing with Section 8255) of Division 8 of the Welfare and Institutions Code (WIC). See Appendix E for the Housing First statute listing all core components in HSC section 8255(b)(1)-(11). State requirements regarding Housing First requirements are shown in Attachment D-Cal ICH Housing First Guidance.
Annual Reporting on Homeless Shelter Inspections: Effective July 1, 2025, all homeless shelters are subject to the AB 130 inspection and reporting requirements, for the purpose of this NOFA, ERF Round 5 grantees shall ensure that all homeless shelters receiving ERF Round 5 funds are subject to local annual inspections, that any identified violations are corrected within the timeframes prescribed by HSC section 17974.2(b). Jurisdictions that fail to submit annual reports pursuant to the AB 130 shelter inspection and reporting requirement or take required actions to correct a violation cannot receive state funding. Visalia has submitted its annual homeless shelter inspection report; therefore, the City is eligible to apply for ERF 5 funds.
Fiscal Deadlines: ERF Round 5 grantees must expend at least 50 percent and obligate 100 percent of their allocation within two years from the date of the award. All ERF Round 5 program funds must be fully expended within four years from the date of award. Any funds not expended by this deadline shall revert to the fund of origin and may no longer be available for use by the City.
Fiscal Impact including annual maintenance and operating costs: If awarded, Encampment Resolution Funding Round 5 funding could provide up to $5,000,000 to support encampment mitigation activities along Highway 198 and South Route 63 (Mooney Boulevard). If awarded ERF 5 funding, staff will return to Council for appropriation approval consistent with State-approved ERF 5 activities. No General Fund contribution is proposed or required as part of this grant application.

3 I. OVERVIEW
The California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD or Department) is pleased to announce the availability of Encampment Resolution Funding (ERF) Program Round 5 (ERF Round 5) grant funding. Pursuant to Health and Safety Code (HSC) section 50251, ERF was established to increase collaboration between the Department, local jurisdictions, and continuums of care (CoCs) for the following purposes:
• Assist local jurisdictions in ensuring the safety and wellness of people experiencing homelessness in encampments.
• Provide encampment resolution grants to local jurisdictions and continuums of care to resolve critical encampment concerns and transition individuals into safe and stable housing.
• Encourage a data-informed, coordinated approach to address encampment concerns.
This NOFA makes $93 million available to California cities, counties, and CoCs in FY 25-26 for awards through a rolling application process. Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis until June 30, 2026, or until funds are depleted, whichever occurs first. Pursuant to the requirement set forth in the authorizing statute, up to 50 percent of funds will be prioritized for proposals that serve people living in encampments on State right-of-way (SROW).
A. Authorizing Statute
ERF Round 5 is authorized under Chapter 7 (commencing with Section 50250) of Part 1 of Division 31 of the Health and Safety Code. The $100 million for ERF Round 5 was appropriated by Statutes of 2025, chapter 5, section 86 (the “2025 Budget Act”), which was signed into law by Governor Gavin Newsom on June 27, 2025.
Appendix A contains key statutes that support ERF implementation and guidance, and Appendix B contains the 2025 Budget Act. $93 million is being made available in this NOFA, with $7 million allocated to state administration and to fund a partial award from a prior round. More detail is included in Section I.D, Available Funds.
Pursuant to the authorizing statute, up to 50 percent of the funds authorized for ERF Round 5 shall be prioritized for Local Jurisdictions with proposals that address encampments on SROW as defined by HSC section 50250(m).
HSC section 50251(e) provides that the Department “may adopt regulations to implement this chapter. The adoption, amendment, or repeal of a regulation authorized by this subdivision is hereby exempted from the rulemaking provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act (Chapter 3.5 (commencing with Section 11340) of Part 1 of Division 3 of Title 2 of the Government Code).” This NOFA establishes the Department’s guidelines for ERF Round 5, including the terms, conditions, 112
4 forms, procedures, and other mechanisms that the Department deems necessary to administer ERF Round 5. The guidelines contained in this NOFA are adopted as if they have the “dignity of statutes.” (Ramirez v. Yosemite Water Company, Inc. (1999) 20. Cal. 4th 785, 799.)
B. Purpose and Program Objectives
ERF Round 5 will fund actionable, person-centered, local proposals that meet this NOFA’s threshold requirements to provide stable housing and address the immediate health and safety needs of the individuals residing in specific encampments. Proposals must seek to resolve targeted experiences of unsheltered homelessness by addressing the safety and wellness of people within encampments, resolve critical encampment concerns, and transition individuals into interim shelter with clear pathways to permanent housing or directly into permanent housing, using data-informed, non-punitive, low-barrier, personcentered, Housing First, and coordinated approaches.
Proposals may bolster existing, successful models and/or support new approaches that provide safe, stable, and ultimately permanent housing for people experiencing homelessness in encampments.
C. Application Timeline
The ERF Round 5 application will be made available by the Department upon release of this NOFA and will remain open for the first application window until June 30, 2026. If all program funds have not been awarded through the first application window, a second application window will remain open until October 31, 2026.
Applications will be reviewed in batches as displayed in the table below.

The Legislature appropriated $100 million to fund ERF Round 5, less $4.9 million allocated to the Department for program administration and $2.1 as a partial award to a prior round grantee, pursuant to the requirement set forth in HSC section 50252.1(b). This NOFA makes $93 million available for award to cities, counties, and CoCs.
Summary of ERF Round 5 Funding
Category Amount
Total FY 25-26 Funding $100 million
Partial Award to Prior Funding Round ERF 4 Lookback $2.1 million Program Administration $4.9 million
ERF Round 5 – Made Available in the NOFA $93 million
II. ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS
A. Eligible Applicants
Eligible Applicants for ERF Round 5 program funds are the same as in previous Rounds of ERF, which include:
• Local Jurisdiction – as defined in HSC section 50250(j), means a city, including a charter city, a county, including a charter county, or a city and county. 114
6 • Continuum of Care (CoC) – as defined in HSC section 50250(d), “continuum of care” has the same meaning as in Section 578.3 of Title 24 of the Code of Federal Regulations.
Per authorizing statute (see Appendix B), local jurisdictions have priority to apply for ERF Round 5 to address encampments on the SROW over CoC applicants.
B. Eligible Population to Serve
ERF Round 5 funds may only be used for proposals that connect people experiencing unsheltered homelessness either to interim shelter with clear pathways to permanent housing or directly to permanent housing.
C. Prioritizing Encampment Sites to Address
“Encampment” generally refers to any location where multiple individuals experiencing unsheltered homelessness have established a place of residence, and where the ongoing presence and conditions of the site result in sustained or significant impacts to health, safety, public access, or infrastructure. Encampments may exist on public or private land and are typically characterized by the presence of personal belongings, makeshift or semi-permanent structures, and repeated or prolonged habitation.
The defining criteria of an encampment are not based on the number of occupants, but on the degree of impact on:
• The individuals residing in the encampment, including exposure to environmental hazards, violence, or lack of access to services and housing; • The surrounding community, including limitations to public access, increased health and safety risks, or strain on public systems; and • Critical infrastructure and natural resources, including blocked rights of way, degraded environmental conditions, or damage to public property.
ERF Round 5 is not intended to fund a community-wide encampment resolution program. Applications may propose to serve a single individual encampment, or an encampment zone of multiple encampments that meets all three conditions listed below. Applicants must provide justification for the prioritization of the specific encampment, encampment zone(s), or scattered sites proposed to be served. If an applicant proposes to prioritize multiple encampments (encampment zone), the encampments may only be addressed through a single application if all of the following apply:
1. There is a single justification for prioritizing the encampments, 115
7 2. The demographics and service needs of the residents of the encampments are sufficiently similar, and
3. The same set of services, and service providers, including outreach, interim and permanent housing programs, will be used to serve and house the individuals in the encampments.
Applicants must prepare a separate application for each encampment that does not meet the requirements of (1) – (3).
D. Compliance with State Encampment Guidance
City and county applicants must identify whether they have a current and formal policy and/or ordinance to address encampments that fully complies with the California Interagency Council (Cal ICH) Guidance on Addressing Encampments (see Appendix D for a list of all components in the state guidance). To meet this requirement, applicants may submit internal standard operating procedures, staff training materials, and/or scope of work language from service or housing provider contracts that substantiate the jurisdiction meets all components required in the state guidance.
Applicants that are CoCs must identify whether the encampment policies or ordinances of the city and/or county in which the specific encampment, encampment zone(s), or scattered sites are located is fully compliant with the state guidance. Inclusion of the policy(ies) or ordinance(s) depends on the local authorities that oversee encampment operations.
1. City and county applicants must provide the policy, ordinance, or any other documentation that substantiates the jurisdiction follows all components set forth in the state guidance.
a. If there is no policy or ordinance to address encampments, or if the encampment policy is not fully compliant with state guidance, the city and county applicant(s) must provide a timeline by which it will adopt or update the policy or ordinance to come into compliance with state guidance within three months of award. If the jurisdiction does not adopt a fully compliant policy within three months of award, the award may be rescinded and funds awarded to the next eligible applicant.
2. CoC applicants must provide the policy, ordinance, or any other documentation that substantiates the city and/or county in which the encampment is located follows all components set forth in the state guidance.
a. If there is no policy or ordinance to address encampments in the city and/or county in which the encampment is located, or if the encampment policy is not fully compliant with state guidance, CoC applicants must ensure the letter(s) of support from the jurisdiction(s) in which the encampment is located includes a commitment to adopting a fully 116
8 compliant policy within three months of award. If the jurisdiction does not adopt a fully compliant policy within three months of award, the award may be rescinded and funds awarded to the next eligible applicant.
On May 12, 2025, the Governor released a Model Encampment Ordinance.
Adopting a local ordinance that is consistent with all core aspects of the Model Encampment Ordinance would be compliant with Cal ICH’s guidance and satisfy the ERF Round 5 NOFA requirements. The Model Ordinance outlines that it is “intended to provide a starting point that jurisdictions may build from and adjust in creating their own policies…[but] is not intended to be comprehensive or to impose a one-size-fits-all approach for every [jurisdiction]." As such, the Model Ordinance is a valuable tool for Eligible Applicants to use in developing their own encampment policy, but an encampment policy may still be compliant with Cal ICH’s guidance if it diverges in some ways from this Model Ordinance.
III. ELIGIBLE USES

11 IV. APPLICATION SUBMISSION, REVIEW, AND AWARD PROCESS A. Application Required Components
The ERF Round 5 application is a questionnaire style survey and has four required components: administrative information, proposal overview, implementation, and certification. A submitted application that deviates from the following requirements will be considered nonresponsive and will be disqualified from the evaluation.
Applications submitted by non-eligible applicants (reference Section 2.A. for Eligible Applicants) will also be automatically disqualified.
1. Required Component: Administrative Information
Requires the applicant to indicate the entity the Department will enter into contract with to receive and administer the award. This entity will be responsible for contracting (when necessary) with subcontractors, submitting all required reports to the Department, reporting universal data elements for people and families served into the local HMIS, and meeting other terms and conditions of the contract. This component also requires the applicant to provide contact information and its Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN) or tax identification number. Governmental entities will need to submit a GovTIN Tax Form, and non-governmental entities (only lead entities of CoCs are eligible to apply) will need to upload a STD 204 Tax Form.
2. Required Component: Proposal Overview
Requires the applicant to provide the following narrative descriptions and metrics on the expected outcomes of the proposal:
a. Proposal Summary: Includes an overview of all key components and/or phases of the project that will be funded wholly or in part with ERF Round 5 resources. This should be an executive summary of the proposal, to include (1) the encampment and population proposed to be served (2) the core service/housing delivery model and (3) the impact/outcomes proposed to be accomplished.
b. People Served and Housed: Includes the number of people living in the prioritized encampment at the time of application submission, and the number of people proposed to be served and housed in interim and permanent housing if the application is awarded.
c. Encampment Information: Includes the physical characteristics of the encampment, why the site and the people residing there are being prioritized, and whether the encampment is located entirely or partially on a SROW. This information must be accompanied by the following:
120
12 i. Attachment, Geographic Information System (GIS) Map Layer: Applicants must submit a GIS map layer or equivalent of the specific encampment, encampment zone(s), or scattered sites proposed to be served with ERF Round 5 funds. The attachment should allow sites to be easily imported into a GIS data set. For applicants with access to internal GIS resources, a shapefile is the preferred format for capturing area-level data with precision and consistency. Another option is to use a publicly available free app service like “Google My Maps” or similar program to create a polygon using one of those platforms.
Note: Applicants may upload an additional jpeg or pdf map that shows the location of the specific encampment, encampment zone(s), or scattered sites within the jurisdiction in relation to key application components (i.e. service locations, interim housing locations, and permanent housing locations).
d. State and Local Collaboration: Pursuant to HSC section 50252.1(c)(4)(C), the application should include a description of how the applicant intends to collaborate with state and local partners to mitigate risk and address safety concerns while ensuring a pathway for individuals living in encampments to move into safe and stable housing. This description must also confirm that the jurisdiction submitted an AB 130 Annual Homeless Shelter Inspection Report to HCD. HSC section 17974.5 requires that HCD withhold state funding from a jurisdiction that fails to comply with the AB 130 Annual Homeless Shelter Inspection Report requirements or fails to take action to correct any homeless shelter violation pursuant to HSC 17974.4. See Section IV.D.3., Annual Reporting on Homeless Shelter Inspections, and Appendix F for details on this requirement, including remedies for jurisdictions to become eligible again to receive state funds. i. Required Local Jurisdiction Letter(s) of Support (required for CoC applicants only): CoC applicants must obtain a letter, or letters, of support from city and/or county overlapping jurisdictions in which the specific encampment, encampment zone(s), or scattered sites are located. Local encampment abatement operations, public health and safety, and service and housing responsibilities and authorities may be shared by multiple jurisdictions. The letter(s) of support must detail the roles and responsibilities of each participating jurisdiction, and include a commitment from the jurisdictions to coordinate on any potential abatement activities. HCD will also accept a single letter of support signed by all jurisdictions.
ii. Required Caltrans Letter of Support (required for applications proposing to address encampments on SROW only): Applications proposing to address encampments entirely or partially on a SROW must include a letter of support from their local Caltrans District Office. The letter must include a commitment from Caltrans that they are in support of 121
13 the ERF proposal. It must also include an acknowledgement that Caltrans will only take action on that encampment site in collaboration with the grantee, with at least two weeks’ notice to HCD and the ERF grantee, unless critical circumstances exist when an encampment poses an imminent threat to life, health, safety, or infrastructure and must be immediately addressed. This letter should be signed by the local Caltrans Deputy District Director of Maintenance (DDDM) or their designee and include the contact information of the Caltrans representative for the prioritized encampment location.
e. Proposal Outcomes and Project Timeline: Includes a description of the proposal’s planned outcomes, key milestones with associated dates for each outcome, the methods by which the applicant will measure and track progress, and proposed activities to achieve the outcome.

ii. How input from individuals with lived experience of homelessness has been meaningfully incorporated into the proposal;
iii. How the proposal will provide sanitation services to those living in the prioritized encampment. This may be through ERF Round 5 funds or by a jurisdiction or nonprofit entity; and
iv. A list of community organizations or groups currently supporting or engaging with encampment residents, and the services being provided by those organizations.
3. Required Component: Implementation
This component requires the applicant to provide details around proposal implementation in three key areas:
a. Core Service Delivery and Housing Strategies, including:
i. Outreach, engagement, case management, and service coordination tailored to address the needs of individuals residing in the encampment; 122
14 ii. When an application includes operating safe parking sites while locating interim or permanent housing for people experiencing homelessness living in vehicles or recreational vehicles, a description of how the applicant intends to acquire sites for safe parking, operate the site, provide services at the safe parking site, and increase safe parking site hours;
iii. Proposed interim housing opportunities;
iv. Proposed permanent housing opportunities;
v. Commitment and capacity to deliver permanent housing solutions; vi. How services are tailored to meet the needs and preferences of individuals in the encampment, encampment zone(s), or scattered sites; vii. Strategies to prevent displacement into other unsheltered locations; viii.Approaches to prevent returns to unsheltered homelessness; ix. Consideration for the dynamic nature of encampments, including potential inflow;
x. Support for storage and access to personal belongings across housing stages;
xi. Support for participants with service animals and pets; xii. Strategies for serving individuals who do not transition into housing; and xiii.If located on a SROW, how the applicant will coordinate with Caltrans ahead of abatement actions to avoid displacement and address the needs of the individuals living in the encampment.
b. Budget and Resource Plan: The total amount of ERF Round 5 funds requested, and an explanation for how the requested amount was determined based on the number of people served and the housing options provided. The Budget and Resource Plan must also identify non-ERF Round 5 resources that will be leveraged to support proposal implementation, including other funding sources and resources from other systems that would increase services and housing options. This includes prior ERF awards, and other federal, state, and local funding sources.
Applicants must categorize their budgets into the appropriate Eligible Uses. If one larger budget item may fall within two or more Eligible Use categories, applicants should split it into the appropriate individual line items so that HCD can track and better understand proposal components.
123
15 HCD strongly encourages applicants to design proposals that maximize the impact of ERF Round 5 by leveraging additional other local, state, and federal funding streams, including social entitlement programs and complementary housing or service initiatives. By aligning ERF Round 5 proposals with these resources, jurisdictions can expand the scope of services, accelerate implementation, and achieve more sustainable housing outcomes for the individuals experiencing homelessness in the specific encampment zone(s), or scattered sites proposed to be addressed. c. Key Entities and Staff: Includes the experience and qualifications for the implementing organization and key partners, staffing strategy, evidence of collaboration between local jurisdiction(s) and the CoC, as well as identification of the primary parties with rights to and/or control of the property upon which the encampment resides (e.g., Caltrans, Union Pacific, private landowner, etc.) and their shared understanding of and commitment to the implementation of the proposal. For proposals on the SROW, in addition to the Caltrans letter of support, applicants must describe how they collaborated with Caltrans on their program design, implementation plans, and projected timeline.
Proposals funding homeless shelters must ensure shelters are in compliance with the requirements outlined in HSC sections 17974-17974.6. Applicants must disclose whether any homeless shelter included in the proposal has received violations under HSC sections 17974-17974.6 within the past 12 months and describe the status of corrective actions taken and any outstanding violations.
4. Required Component: Certification
The applicant must certify that all information included in the application is true and accurate.
B. Submitting a Complete ERF Round 5 Application
Applications must be submitted through the ERF Round 5 application portal in Cognito, linked on the ERF website. Within the Cognito application, applicants must upload a completed budget using the budget template available on HCD’s ERF website.
Refer to Section III, Eligible Uses, for guidance on allowable expenses and budget categorization. HCD will accept applications on a rolling basis through two windows or until all funds have been awarded, whichever occurs first. Refer to Section I.C., Application Timeline, for all specific dates.
Since HCD does not have control over the platform’s timing apparatus and uploading speed, and to mitigate for unforeseen occurrences, applicants are strongly encouraged to submit by noon on the last day of the application window. 124
16 C. HCD Review, Scoring, and Award
1. Phase 1 – Administrative Review
Applications will be reviewed and evaluated for completeness of NOFA specifications, including checking that the application was submitted on behalf of an eligible applicant. During this stage, HCD will ensure that all required components are completed and submitted. HCD will reach out to applicants and allow them to resolve small discrepancies, but applications that are not complete or do not contain all the required items and attachments will be disqualified from the evaluation.
Additionally, applications will be reviewed to ensure deduplication with any previous ERF award. Generally, ERF Round 5 funding is not meant to augment a prior award which provided funding to accomplish the same outcomes described in the proposal. To receive a new ERF award, a previously awarded applicant must provide a new proposal that describes the additional activities to be carried out and the outcomes to be accomplished and/or identifies the additional people to be served.
2. Phase 2 – Scoring
The Evaluation Panel will review and consider the totality of the information in the application when determining whether the application satisfies the minimum scoring threshold. However, applicants should respond to each application criterion in the proper application section to ensure all requirements are met.

3. Phase 3 – Evaluation and Award Determination
HCD will review and score applications using the ERF Round 5 Scoring Matrix.
Each application will be scored by a panel of HCD staff, and an average score will be calculated. To be eligible for funding, applications must meet the minimum scoring threshold in every section listed in the matrix. Awards will be made to the highest scoring applications until all funds are awarded. Pursuant to HSC section 50252.1(b), HCD “shall award additional funding round moneys first to fund projects from prior funding rounds that…[HCD] determined satisfied applicable program requirements but were not funded in the prior round.” In accordance with HSC section 50252.1(c)(5), funding shall be prioritized for both of the following:
• Applications that demonstrate cross-systems collaboration, including collaborations with state and federal entities, and innovative efforts to resolve encampment issues, while focusing on protecting the health and well-being of the individuals living in those encampments. • Applications that represent the diversity of communities across the state, including, but not limited to, rural, urban, and suburban communities.
Furthermore, up to 50 percent of the available funds will be prioritized for awards that address encampments on SROW.
Applications that failed to meet any section of the application will not be eligible for award, but those applicants will be invited by HCD to reapply in future rounds.
129
21 V. Award and Funds Disbursement
After the application window has closed and all applications received during the window have been reviewed and scored, HCD will make awards. Award letters will be sent by email to the awardees, and an awards listing and the approved applications will be posted on HCD’s ERF website.
Once awards have been determined by HCD, a Standard Agreement will be prepared and sent to the awardee. The awardee will return the signed Standard Agreement.
Funds will be disbursed to the awardee upon receipt, review, and approval of the complete Standard Agreement by HCD. Grant funds will be disbursed via mailed check. Checks will be mailed to the address listed on the taxpayer ID Form.
Applications that are denied funding will be provided with evaluation panel feedback.
Applicants are encouraged to incorporate this feedback and reapply in the next available application window.
Appeals
Pursuant to HSC section 50251(c)(1), HCD’s decision to approve or deny an application and the determination of the amount of funding to be provided shall be final and is not subject to appeal.

f. The number of encampments that the grantee has resolved. g. The types of housing assistance provided, including, but not limited to, permanent or interim housing, broken out by the number of individuals served.
As required by HSC section 50254.5(c), HCD will post the annual and final reports to its website within 30 days of receipt and provide notice to the appropriate policy and budget committees.
Grantees may also receive ad hoc requests for information from HCD or its contractors in support of program monitoring, research, and evaluation.
Grantees with projects on SROW may also be required to provide programmatic data to Caltrans.
At the end of the grant period, or upon request by HCD, all grantees shall provide information and products developed with grant funds on service delivery models, including any materials that may be necessary to study the program or replicate it for implementation across the state.
B. Application Amendments
Once an application is submitted and approved, no substantive changes to the program design are allowed unless the grantee submits a modification request explaining the impacts of the program design change, and HCD provides written approval in advance to the grantee to proceed. If enforcement action is taken or the encampment is otherwise disbursed, the grantee must notify HCD immediately.
C. Fiscal Deadlines
1. Expenditure Requirement
131
23 Pursuant to HSC section 50253(e)(1) and (2), ERF Round 5 grantees must expend at least 50 percent and obligate 100 percent of their allocation within two years from the date of the award.
Per HSC section 50253(e)(5), all program funds must be fully expended within four years from the date of award. Any funds not expended by this deadline shall revert to the fund of origin and may no longer be available for use by the recipient.
2. Corrective Action Plan
Pursuant to HSC section 50253(e)(3), any ERF Round 5 grantee that fails to meet the 100 percent obligation requirement within two years shall be required to submit a corrective action plan to HCD within 60 days after the close of the second year. This plan must outline a strategy to fully obligate all funds within six months of submission. Per HSC section 50253(e)(4), HCD “may subject recipients that do not meet [the 100 percent obligation requirement in HSC section 50253(e)(2)] to additional corrective action.”
D. Other Requirements
1. Reporting into Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) Pursuant to HSC section 50254, ERF Round 5 grantees and their subcontractors must report client data into their local Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS), and that data must be shared quarterly with the statewide Homeless Data Integration System (HDIS).
Grantees must ensure proper recording of activities associated with these program funds. This is intended to efficiently capture many of the non-fiscal reporting responsibilities required under HSC section 50254.
HCD will make efforts to use the statewide HDIS data provided by grantees to fulfill grantee reporting requirements under HSC section 50254; however, improper reporting into that system may require HCD to seek the following additional information directly from grantees:
• The total number of individuals, as well as homeless individuals, served in each year of the program and for the program overall.
• Aggregate outcome data for individuals served using program funds, including all of the following:
o The type of housing that the individuals exited to from the encampment, including whether the housing is permanent or interim.
o The percentage of successful housing exits.
o Exit types for unsuccessful housing exits.
132
24 • The types of housing assistance provided, including, but not limited to, permanent or interim housing, broken out by the number of individuals served.
Grantees should set up HMIS projects consistent with how the encampment(s) and the proposed interventions were described in their ERF Round 5 applications. For the purpose of HMIS project setup and ERF reporting, multiple sites that share the same needs, resources, and housing strategies can be considered a single encampment. If a grantee is serving an area that includes sites that have different needs and are served by different strategies and interventions, those should be considered separate encampments and set up as separate HMIS projects.
Grantees may also be required to accept training and technical assistance in this area if their HMIS/HDIS data is not properly tracked and shared.
2. Housing First Requirement
All ERF Round 5 grantees must comply with the core components of Housing First as provided in Chapter 6.5 (commencing with Section 8255) of Division 8 of the Welfare and Institutions Code (WIC). See Appendix E for the Housing First statute listing all core components in HSC section 8255(b)(1)-(11) . For more information on Housing First, please refer to the Cal ICH Guide to California’s Housing First Law.
Housing First is an evidence-based, client-centered approach that recognizes housing as necessary to make other voluntary life changes, such as seeking treatment or medical care. This approach is in contrast with the traditional model of rewarding “housing readiness.” The goal of Housing First is to provide housing to individuals and families quickly with as few obstacles as possible, along with voluntary support services according to their needs.
3. Annual Reporting on Homeless Shelter Inspections
Chapter 22, Statutes of 2025 (AB 130), sections 33-36 added HSC sections 17974-17974.6 related to homeless shelter inspection and reporting requirements. See Appendix F. ERF Round 5 grantees and their subcontractors that operate or fund homeless shelters must comply with all inspection, reporting, and corrective action requirements as detailed in HCD’s Information Bulletin 2025-02.
Although all homeless shelters are subject to the AB 130 inspection and reporting requirements, for the purpose of this NOFA, ERF Round 5 grantees shall ensure that all homeless shelters receiving ERF Round 5 funds are subject to local annual inspections, that any identified violations are corrected within the timeframes prescribed by HSC section 17974.2(b), and that documentation of compliance is maintained and made available upon request. 133
25 In accordance with HSC section 17974.5, each city and county must report annually by April 1 to HCD all the following information:
a. The number of complaints received by the jurisdiction, pursuant to HSC section 17920.3, including if the jurisdiction did not receive any complaints. b. Any pending uncorrected violations determined by the jurisdiction, pursuant to HSC section 17974.1. This should include, as applicable, the date the violation notice was provided to the owner/operator, the name of the owner or operator, the name of the homeless shelter, and the address of the homeless shelter.
c. Any determinations by the jurisdiction that conditions exist or existed that make or made the homeless shelter dangerous, hazardous, imminently detrimental to life or health, or otherwise render the homeless shelter unfit for human habitation. This should include, as applicable, the date the violation notice was provided to the owner/operator, the name of the owner or operator, the name of the homeless shelter, and the address of the homeless shelter. d. A list of any emergency orders issued pursuant to HSC section 17974.1(c)(3). e. A list of any owners or operators who received three or more violations within any six-month period.
f. A list of corrected violations from the prior year. This should include, as applicable, the date the violation notice was provided to the owner/operator, the name of the owner or operator, the name of the homeless shelter, the address of the homeless shelter, and the date the violation was corrected.
Grantees must restrict ERF Round 5 funding for operations to shelters with unresolved violations as detailed in HSC section 17974.4; however, grantees may still permit the use of state funding if being used to address violations.
Additionally, HCD may restrict state funding for operations to shelters with unresolved violations. HCD may deem the owner or operator of a shelter ineligible for state funding for shelter operations for unresolved violation(s) noted in the annual report. The use of state funding may still be permissible if being used to address violations.
Jurisdictions that fail to submit annual reports pursuant to the AB 130 shelter inspection and reporting requirement or take required actions to correct a violation cannot receive state funding. HCD may deem those jurisdictions eligible again to receive funds after the jurisdiction complies with both the annual reporting requirement by submitting an annual report to HCD and the requirement to take action to correct all homeless shelter violations. 134
26 Pursuant to HSC section 17974.3, HCD may take action to enforce the requirements in division 13, part 1.5, chapter 5, Article 2.3 (Inspection of Homeless Shelters), pursuant to the California Code of Civil Procedure section 1085, and HCD may be entitled to recover reasonable attorney fees and costs.
4. Legal Documents
Upon the award of ERF Round 5 funds, HCD shall enter into Standard Agreements with grantees that govern how ERF Round 5 funds must be spent.
These agreements shall ensure adherence to the objectives and requirements of the ERF Round 5 program and compliance with all relevant laws. No award shall be disbursed until the Standard Agreement is signed by both the grantee and HCD and is fully executed.
5. Public Records Act Requests
Applicants are hereby informed that all documents and correspondence related to their ERF Round 5 application are subject to Public Records Act (PRA) requests.

39 Appendix D: California Interagency Council on Homelessness Guidance on Addressing Encampments
Below is a list of the seven components included in the Cal ICH Guidance on Addressing Encampments. Applicants may use this as a checklist to verify whether their policy or ordinance complies with state guidance, or as a template to adopt an encampment policy that complies with state guidance.
1. Employ person-centered, Housing First, and trauma-informed approaches when addressing the needs of person living in encampments on public property.
2. Maintain awareness of interim housing capacity, including congregate and noncongregate shelter (i.e., motel vouchers), that is immediately available to serve persons in the encampment in question.
3. Provide respectful/reasonable treatment of property from the encampment, including collecting, labeling, and storing personal property from the encampment (unless it is a health or safety hazard).
4. Provide notice to encampment residents:
a. Provide as much advance notice to vacate as possible. For non-urgent situations, a notice to vacate must be posted at least 48 hours before removal. b. Include the following information in the notice: 1) Date and time of the removal actions, 2) Information on services that are immediately available to persons living in the encampment, and 3) Information on how unattended belongings will be handled the day of the removal action, including what will be stored and how they can be recovered.
5. Maintain awareness of efforts serving the encampment in question and encampments broadly.
6. Make every effort to identify and offer shelter including interim housing or motel vouchers to persons living in an encampment before taking action to remove an encampment. If shelter cannot be secured prior to removal despite these efforts, confirm there are reasonably accessible locations within the jurisdiction where a person may lawfully sleep.
7. Prioritize health and safety in assessing encampments, and where appropriate address hazards prior to or independent from any removing operation. 148

DIVISION 8. MISCELLANEOUS [8050 - 8266]
(Division 8 repealed and added by Stats. 1967, Ch. 1667.) CHAPTER 6.5. Housing First and Coordinating Council [8255 - 8257.3] (Chapter 6.5 added by Stats. 2016, Ch. 847, Sec. 2.)
8255.
For purposes of this chapter:
(a) “Council” means the California Interagency Council on Homelessness, formerly known as the Homeless Coordinating and Financing Council established pursuant to Section 8257.
(b) “Core components of Housing First” means all of the following:
(1) Tenant screening and selection practices that promote accepting applicants regardless of their sobriety or use of substances, completion of treatment, or participation in services.
(2) Applicants are not rejected on the basis of poor credit or financial history, poor or lack of rental history, criminal convictions unrelated to tenancy, or behaviors that indicate a lack of “housing readiness.”
(3) Acceptance of referrals directly from shelters, street outreach, drop-in centers, and other parts of crisis response systems frequented by vulnerable people experiencing homelessness.
(4) Supportive services that emphasize engagement and problem solving over therapeutic goals and service plans that are highly tenant-driven without predetermined goals.
(5) Participation in services or program compliance is not a condition of permanent housing tenancy.
(6) Tenants have a lease and all the rights and responsibilities of tenancy, as outlined in California’s Civil, Health and Safety, and Government codes. (7) The use of alcohol or drugs in and of itself, without other lease violations, is not a reason for eviction.
(8) In communities with coordinated assessment and entry systems, incentives for funding promote tenant selection plans for supportive housing that prioritize eligible tenants based on criteria other than “first-come-first-serve,” including, but not limited 149
41 to, the duration or chronicity of homelessness, vulnerability to early mortality, or high utilization of crisis services. Prioritization may include triage tools, developed through local data, to identify high-cost, high-need homeless residents. (9) Case managers and service coordinators who are trained in and actively employ evidence-based practices for client engagement, including, but not limited to, motivational interviewing and client-centered counseling. (10) Services are informed by a harm-reduction philosophy that recognizes drug and alcohol use and addiction as a part of tenants’ lives, where tenants are engaged in nonjudgmental communication regarding drug and alcohol use, and where tenants are offered education regarding how to avoid risky behaviors and engage in safer practices, as well as connected to evidence-based treatment if the tenant so chooses.
(11) The project and specific apartment may include special physical features that accommodate disabilities, reduce harm, and promote health and community and independence among tenants.
(c) “Homeless” has the same definition as that term is defined in Section 91.5 of Title 24 of the Code of Federal Regulations.
(d) (1) “Housing First” means the evidence-based model that uses housing as a tool, rather than a reward, for recovery and that centers on providing or connecting homeless people to permanent housing as quickly as possible. Housing First providers offer services as needed and requested on a voluntary basis and that do not make housing contingent on participation in services. (2) (A) “Housing First” includes time-limited rental or services assistance, so long as the housing and service provider assists the recipient in accessing permanent housing and in securing longer term rental assistance, income assistance, or employment.
(B) For time-limited, supportive services programs serving homeless youth, programs should use a positive youth development model and be culturally competent to serve unaccompanied youth under 25 years of age. Providers should work with the youth to engage in family reunification efforts, where appropriate and when in the best interest of the youth. In the event of an eviction, programs shall make every effort, which shall be documented, to link tenants to other stable, safe, decent housing options. Exit to homelessness should be extremely rare, and only after a tenant refuses assistance with housing search, location, and move-in assistance.
(e) “State programs” means any programs a California state agency or department funds, implements, or administers for the purpose of providing emergency shelter, 150
42 interim housing, housing, or housing-based services to people experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness, with the exception of federally funded programs with requirements inconsistent with this chapter.

The State of California encourages local jurisdictions to continue to employ personcentered, Housing First, and trauma-informed approaches when addressing the needs of persons living in encampments on public property. These evidence-based practices ensure services are strategically coordinated and deployed prior to any enforcement effort and ensure the best possible outcomes for all involved.
Before removing an encampment on public property, Cal ICH recommends that a local government:
GUIDANCE: GUIDANCE:
ADDRESSING ADDRESSING
ENCAMPMENTS ENCAMPMENTS
(916) 651-2820 www.bcsh.ca.gov/calich/ [email protected] Is actively aware of interim housing capacity, including congregate and non-congregate shelter (i.e. motel vouchers), that is immediately available to serve persons in the encampment in question.
Has a clear policy for the handling and storage of unattended personal belongings of persons in encampments.
Provides as much advance notice of a removal action as possible. Cal ICH recommends a minimum of 48 hours notice, unless imminent threats to life, health, safety, or infrastructure require a shorter notice period, to persons living in the encampment and to any service provider actively serving and/or engaging with the encampment in question. Cal ICH recommends that the notice include:
The anticipated date and time of the removal action.
Information on services, including shelter, that are immediately available to persons living in the encampment.
Information on how unattended belongings will be handled the day of the removal action, including what will be stored and how they can be recovered.
Where an encampment presents specific safety hazards, it may be appropriate for a local government to remediate those hazards prior to or independent of a removal operation, for example addressing tapped electrical wires, removing dangerous items including apparatuses involving open flames, weapons, and controlled substances, or dismantling or removing structures within an encampment that pose a specific hazard.
Cal ICH further recommends that local governments are actively aware of and engaging with current local projects and/or efforts (i.e. Encampment Resolution Funds) serving the encampment in question and encampments in general.
Cal ICH encourages local governments to make every effort to identify and offer shelter to persons living in an encampment in advance of taking action to remove an encampment. If shelter cannot be secured prior to removal despite these efforts, it’s recommended that a local government ensure that there are reasonably accessible locations within the jurisdiction where a person may lawfully sleep.

IMPLEMENTATION IMPLEMENTATION
MATTERS MATTERS
(916) 651-2820 www.bcsh.ca.gov/calich/ [email protected] Q. If they can’t sleep “here”, where can they sleep?
A. The Model Encampment Ordinance underscores a basic principle: enforcement must be paired with every reasonable effort to identify and offer shelter. Asking someone to move without a real alternative only shifts the crisis. Local governments must plan ahead—identifying safe, accessible, and legal places to go.
Cal ICH supports communities in aligning enforcement with housing solutions—so people aren’t just moved, they’re supported.
Q. How should local jurisdictions approach offers of shelter? A. All shelter beds are not the same. Shelter is most likely to result in permanent solutions if it meets a person’s individual needs:
– A private room for a trauma survivor
– ADA access for someone using a wheelchair
– A place where partners and children are welcome
Offers that meet individual needs increase the likelihood of acceptance and lead to better outcomes.
Cal ICH encourages local teams to lead with dignity, ensuring every offer is made with thoughtfulness and care.
Q. What meaningful services should be included on the notice? A. Posting notice is more than a legal requirement, it’s an opportunity to connect. Notices should include:
✔ How to access shelter and services
✘ Avoid long, generic resource lists with no connection to available support Notices are most effective when they offer timely, real options for immediately available shelter.
Q. What items should be stored?
A. People's belongings are often all they have. Treat them that way. Use the “mom test”: If your mom owned it, would you want it saved? This includes:
– ID cards, prescriptions, glasses
– Photos, documents, mobility aids
Hazardous or illegal items should be handled separately, but most items deserve secure, respectful storage.
Q. Who should be onsite for enforcement actions?
A. Who’s present matters. When outreach teams, housing navigators, and service providers are part of the process, trust builds and outcomes improve. Enforcement should be a bridge to housing—not a barrier.

On May 12, 2025, Governor Newsom
released a Model Encampment Ordinance
for communities to use as a framework to
address encampments with urgency and
dignity. The Model Encampment
Ordinance references this Cal ICH
Guidance to Addressing Encampments,
which has been updated as of May 20,
2025, to expand on and offer clarification
to important points within the Model
Encampment Ordinance.
158
GOVERNOR GAVIN NEWSOM • SACRAMENTO, CA 95814 • (916) 445-2841
OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR
Model Ordinance: Addressing Encampments with Urgency and Dignity After the Supreme Court’s decision in Grants Pass v. Johnson clarified that officials can take reasonable actions to clear encampments, the Governor signed Executive Order N-1-24, which directed state agencies to develop policies to prioritize addressing encampments on state property while providing reasonable advance notice and partnering with shelter and services providers.
That Executive Order also encouraged local governments to adopt similar policies, and to use all available resources and infrastructure, including the historic resources provided by the State, to take urgent action to humanely remove encampments from public spaces. And the Governor directed the California Interagency Council on Homelessness to create guidance, published here, for local governments to follow in creating and implementing those programs.
This model ordinance is intended to provide a starting point that jurisdictions may build from and adjust in creating their own policies. It draws from the state’s proven and workable approach — an approach that, between July 2021 and May 2025, has cleared more than 16,000 encampments and over 311,873 cubic yards of debris from sites along the state right of way. These results demonstrate that the policy is both effective and scalable, offering a sound, adoptable framework for jurisdictions to resolve encampments with urgency and dignity.
This model ordinance is not intended to be comprehensive or to impose a one-size-fits-all approach for every city. Tailoring is expected and appropriate to account for local differences and priorities. For example, a jurisdiction may choose to restrict camping at all times in certain sensitive locations, such as near schools; limit camping to no more than one night in the same location; or require a longer notice period before removal. While specific policies may vary, all local approaches should reflect three basic principles embodied in this model:
159
• No person should face criminal punishment for sleeping outside when they have nowhere else to go. Policies that prohibit individuals from sleeping outside anywhere in the jurisdiction without offering adequate indoor shelter, effectively banishing homeless individuals from the jurisdiction’s borders, are both inhumane and impose externalities on neighboring jurisdictions, which must face the costs and challenges of an increased unsheltered homeless population.
• Encampment policies must prioritize shelter and services and ensure that people experiencing homelessness and their belongings are treated with respect.
• Policies must not unduly limit local authority to clear encampments.
Officials must be able to enforce common-sense policies to protect the health and safety of their residents and maintain their public spaces.
When officials lack appropriate tools, encampments persist, endangering the health and safety of those living in and alongside them.
There is no compassion in abandoning Californians to the dangers and indignities of encampments. Encampments pose a serious public safety risk, often causing fires and exposing encampment residents to increased risk of sexual violence and criminal activity, to property damage and break-ins, and unsanitary conditions affecting both residents and neighbors. And they dampen and deter both commercial and recreational activity through the accumulation of hazardous material and excessive debris, harming downtowns and depriving Californians of their public spaces. Large encampments and those with semipermanent structures exacerbate and perpetuate these harms. Every local government must have a plan to address them.
160

Cal ICH Guide to California’s Housing First Law
Updated October 2024
The California Interagency Council on Homelessness (Cal ICH) is the lead entity for coordinating state efforts to prevent and end homelessness. Cal ICH was originally created to oversee the state’s implementation of Housing First guidelines and regulations. This guide provides answers to frequently asked questions about the implementation of Housing First in state-funded programs. Cal ICH plans to continue putting out resources for state and local partners related to Housing First implementation across a variety of topics.
What is Housing First?
“Housing First” refers to an evidence-based model that uses housing as a tool, rather than a reward, for recovery, and that aims to provide or connect people experiencing homelessness to permanent housing as quickly as possible. Under this model, providers offer services as needed and requested, and participation in services are not a requirement for housing (Welfare and Institutions Code (WIC) §8255(b)).
Why does California use a Housing First model?
The Housing First model was developed to address the needs of people experiencing homelessness who face behavioral health, mental health, or substance use challenges.
Programs that mandate behavior or substance use treatment to receive or maintain housing can cause individuals to cycle in an out of housing without improvement, hindering their long-term stability. Housing First acknowledges that a stable place to call home is crucial to one’s success in addressing any health or substance use needs, and therefore removes those barriers to accessing housing for people experiencing homelessness. Housing First has been well-studied and is found to have stronger outcomes for people experiencing homelessness.1
What are the State’s legal requirements for Housing First? California law includes eleven Housing First core components that must be incorporated into state program requirements. These core components must be adopted by state departments or agencies that fund, administer, or implement programs for the purpose of providing housing or housing-based services to people experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness. For the full statutory language, please see WIC §8255(b).
Are people required to be sober, in treatment, or have met other prerequisites to be enrolled in a housing or service program?
People are not required to have met prerequisites related to sobriety or treatment to be eligible for participation in state-funded homelessness and housing programs.
Additionally, participants must not be rejected for their financial or rental history, 1 USICH (2019). The Evidence Behind Approaches that Drive an End to Homelessness. 164
California Housing First Law Guidance
2 criminal convictions unrelated to tenancy, or any judgement about “housing readiness” behaviors. Housing First is based around a harm reduction philosophy, helping people take steps to reduce the risk of their existing behaviors and letting them choose how to do so. For example, people who are experiencing homelessness can have great difficulty recovering from alcohol or substance use or participating in treatment programs while focusing on the day-to-day survival of homelessness. Therefore, the Housing First model allows them to find stable housing or shelter before working on other behavioral changes.
Can people be evicted for the use of drugs or alcohol?
A program must not evict or remove a participant from housing or shelter settings solely for use of alcohol or drugs, without other program violations. Instead, service providers must use evidence-based harm reduction techniques to prevent participation from engaging in actions that may lead to violation of the program requirements.
Are people required to participate in services to receive or retain housing? Participation in services must not be a prerequisite or condition to receiving and retaining housing. State-funded programs, however, are required to offer services as well as encourage participants to engage in those services using evidence-based models of engagement that typically require service providers to build trusting relationships and participant-driven service plans.
How should service providers engage with participants?
Programs must not have predetermined goals that apply to all participants. Supportive services offered in housing or outreach should be tailored and relevant to participants and empower participants in the decision-making process to determine solutions for their needs. Programs must utilize staff who are trained in evidenced-based and culturally-sensitive practices for client engagement or provide training on such models.
Evidence-based models are those where research has shown significant positive outcomes, such as motivational interviewing, client-centered counseling, and traumainformed care. Additionally, programs must offer services that are informed by harm reduction philosophies, such as engaging clients with non-judgmental communication, offering education to avoid risky behaviors, and connecting them to evidence-based treatment upon request.
Are housing providers required to provide leases to participants? Tenants in permanent housing settings must be provided with a lease and all the rights and responsibilities of tenancy. Participants in temporary housing settings, such as shelter or Navigation Centers, are not required to be provided a lease. Occupancy requirements for interim homelessness programs and emergency shelter are defined in California Civil Code §1954.08 - 1954.093 and must be followed in addition to Housing First core components, whenever applicable.
Are programs with time-limited assistance allowed under the Housing First law? State agencies and departments may fund time-limited rental and service assistance, as long as they comply with California’s Housing First core components and implement the additional requirements stated in statute (WIC §8255(d)(2)). If a participant is 165
California Housing First Law Guidance
3 leaving housing, providers must assist in connecting the participant to other housing or services prior to when they leave the program. Time-limited housing or time-limited programs that require participants to leave after a specific time period with no additional assistance would not be consistent with Housing First. Additional requirements for time-limited programs serving youth are listed in statute.
How does Housing First apply to shelters and interim housing? Housing First law applies to permanent and temporary settings, including emergency shelters and other interim settings. Not all of the core components of Housing First may be applicable to these settings, for example, the requirement to have leases does not align with the function of an emergency shelter because it is not a long-term housing placement, therefore a lease is not necessary in this case. These settings must use Housing First components and principles in their screening and selecting of participants, providing services, and in other engagement with participants.
How do Housing First core components apply to recovery housing programs? “Recovery housing” refers to sober living facilities as well as programs that provide housing in recovery-focused and peer-supported communities for people addressing substance use (WIC §8256(c)(3)). Per statute, all state-funded recovery housing programs must be compliant with the Housing First core components unless they are funded by specific grants within the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR)or by the Board of State and Community Corrections Adult Reentry Grant. There are additional requirements for these programs (WIC §8256(c)(1)).
Participation in recovery housing is voluntary unless participation in that housing type is pursuant to a court order.
How do Housing First core components apply when someone is on probation or parole? People who have been involved in local or state criminal justice systems are more likely to experience homelessness than the general public. Sobriety may be a condition of court-ordered probation or parole for people exiting jail or prison. This requirement is unrelated to the housing environment in which a person chooses to live. Therefore, it is the expectation that probation or parole officers will connect with individuals about their sobriety, not rely on housing service providers to do so. A housing program must not evict or remove a participant from housing or shelter settings solely for use of alcohol or drugs, without other violations. Instead, service providers should use evidence-based harm reduction techniques to help prevent participants from engaging in actions that may lead to violation of the program agreements. Evidencebased models are those where research has shown significant positive outcomes, such as motivational interviewing, client-centered counseling, and trauma-informed care.
Does the Housing First law apply to federal programs?
Federal policy largely promotes Housing First in federal government programs. The Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) and HUD-Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (HUD-VASH), administered by the US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), include strong Housing First requirements. The SSVF program specifically includes in its regulations “re-housing assistance is offered without preconditions (such as 166
California Housing First Law Guidance
4 employment, income, absence of criminal record, or sobriety) and the resources and services provided are typically tailored to the unique needs of the household.”2 Providers must apply the Housing First statute to federal programs as well. To the extent federally funded programs have requirements that are inconsistent with the state Housing First statute, federal policy takes precedence, but only where policy is inconsistent (WIC §8255(e)). For example, per HUD, site-based projects, such as emergency shelters, may take exception to the criminal background of program participants in certain cases.3 State programs otherwise must follow all Housing First core components. Many exclusionary federal policies are discretionary policies and do not impose an enforcement obligation on the housing provider.
Can California Federally Recognized Tribes implement culturally responsive adaptations of Housing First?
California’s Federally Recognized Tribes may require culturally-appropriate adaptations of Housing First to meet the needs of their specific communities. The vision and philosophy of Housing First can remain intact in these instances, while honoring tribal self-determination, sovereignty, and unique situatedness, such as historical and cultural context and power relations.
What is Cal ICH’s role in implementing Housing First?
Cal ICH is charged with working with state departments and agencies to ensure proper compliance with Housing First statute. Cal ICH also provides a variety of resources to state and local partners regarding effective Housing First implementation. If you have any questions about Housing First or would like Cal ICH to develop a specific resource for your community, please email [email protected].

5 APPENDIX A: CORE COMPONENTS AND CONTEXT
California Statute provides eleven Housing First core components that must be adopted into state program requirements. A summary of each core component with context is listed below along with context. For the full statutory language, please see Welfare and Institutions Code (WIC) Section 8255(b).
CORE COMPONENTS SUMMARIZED CONTEXT
1 No requirements for sobriety,
treatment, or service participation
to be selected for a program.
Lowers barriers to access for historically
marginalized groups, such as people who use
drugs or those with behavioral/mental health
service needs.
2 No rejections for financial or rental
history, most criminal convictions, or
lack of “housing readiness.”
Provides opportunity to build credit and income,
reduce recidivism to incarceration, and stabilize
behavioral health conditions.
3 Accept referrals from all areas of
the homelessness response system
utilized by vulnerable people
experiencing homelessness.
Connects people to services and resources
through the pathways they already have access
to.
4 Service plans are participant-driven
and supportive services emphasize
engagement and problem solving.
Person-centered approaches, such as allowing
participants to identify their goals and service
needs, are crucial for success in promoting
participation in services.
5 No requirement to participate in
services in order to receive or
retain housing.
Programs offer services and encourage
participants with evidence-based practices.
Participants are more likely to succeed when they
have autonomy in their participation.
6 Participants provided a lease in
permanent housing. Not required
for participants in temporary
housing settings.
Ensures that participants in permanent housing
have the same rights as those in traditional
housing and can retain housing while following
lease requirements.
7 No evictions solely for drug or
alcohol use, without other lease
violations.
Participants have the same expectations as those
in traditional housing and are approached with
harm reduction techniques.
8 Use coordinated entry system or
process to prioritize people based
on vulnerability criteria.
Prioritizes the most vulnerable for housing and
services appropriate for their needs. Outcomes
assessed regularly to ensure communities are
equitably served.
9 Providers are trained in and use
evidenced-based practices.
A voluntary participation model relies on
engaging people to design and participate in
their own service plans.
10 Services use a harm-reduction
philosophy to engage with
participants.
Provides participants with options to reduce harm
caused by substance use, including but not
limited to, sobriety. Services cannot be required.
11 Physical changes in units
accommodate disabilities and
promote health.
Allows participants to have their needs met,
especially those with significant disabilities.

Dear HPD Homelessness Grants:
Caltrans District 6 is supportive of and committed to the City of Visalia for their proposed request for Encampment Resolution Funding (ERF) Program, round 5 application.
The City of Visalia and partnering agencies have been providing services such as case management services, coordinated entry services, meal assistance, and enrollments into interim and permanent housing placements to homeless encampments along state Routes 198, 63, and 216. The City of Visalia is committed to the region and has shown their willingness to partner to improve accessibility to those most in need by providing housing and other resources.
Caltrans will commit to the following resources to support this effort:
• Provide recommendations and support for funding.
• Facilitate outreach efforts by social service providers in the aforementioned high-return probable areas to benefit persons experiencing homelessness and to keep Caltrans rights-of-way clear of debris and reduce the likelihood of potentially hazardous conditions and repopulation of encampments following removal.
• Provide at least two weeks’ notice to HCD and the City before removing an encampment in the proposal only in collaboration with the City of Visalia notice unless critical circumstances exist and the encampment poses an imminent threat to life, health, safety, or infrastructure and must be immediately addressed.
169
CITY OF VISALIA
June 1, 2026
“Improving lives and communities through transportation.” • Continue to communicate with the City of Visalia and partnering agencies to coordinate social services prior to an encampment removal.
The City of Visalia will:
• Work to resolve encampments to deter repopulation of sites. • Report all actions taken and document outcomes.
• Engage service-resistant individuals and use all tools available to resolve housing individuals.
The City of Visalia acknowledges that repeated repopulation of sites supported by this grant will be elevated to HCD by Caltrans to provide increased accountability for successfully housing individuals when removals occur.
Where 90-Day Continuous Posting at ERF Sites has been established, grantees are expected to deliver ongoing outreach throughout the entire 90-day period, engaging any individuals present at the location in anticipation that a notice to vacate may be posted by Caltrans as soon as repopulation is observed.
Caltrans District 6 is eager to be a part of the City of Visalia’s partnership to strengthen and expand resources to connect persons experiencing homelessness with new opportunities in the community.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact Jason Miao, Acting Deputy District 6 Director of Maintenance and Operations, Caltrans, at (559) 341-7990 or by email at [email protected].
Sincerely,
MICHAEL NAVARRO
District 6 Director

Staff recommends that City Council authorize the City Manager to award three (3) consultant contracts to Love to Ride for the non-infrastructure programs for the following projects and amounts:
1.) Highland Community connectivity project: $425,127
2.) Santa Fe Street bike lanes project: $428,113
3.) Goshen-Visalia corridor connection project: $416,077 Summary:
The City of Visalia received an award of funding from the Active Transportation Program (ATP), Cycle 7, for infrastructure improvements to improve safety and promote active modes of transportation for the three (3) projects listed below. As part of the three projects that were awarded, the grant funding included a non-infrastructure component for each individual project. The non-infrastructure component consists of an educational campaign focused on walking and biking safety which will be implemented by disseminating information on the City’s website, implementation of an online geospatial encouragement platform, and through community engagement events. These required components are all part of grant scopes further detailed in the report. This staff report focuses on the non-infrastructure component of each project.

Background Discussion:
The ATP is a state-administered grant program created to encourage increased use of active modes Visalia City Council Page 1 of 5 Printed on 6/12/2026

File #: 25-0826 Agenda Date: 6/15/2026 Agenda #: 6.
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 state 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 funding applications submitted to the ATP for each project included both an Infrastructure (IF) component, which supports construction of corridor improvements, and a Non-Infrastructure (NI) component focused on public education and outreach. A non-infrastructure component was included with each funding application to increase the probability of receiving an award of funds from the highly competitive ATP. The table below summarizes the ATP funding awarded for each project.

The infrastructure components of these grants include the Highland Community Connectivity project, the Santa Fe Street Bike Lanes and the Goshen-Visalia Corridor Project. The designs of these projects have been or will be discussed with Council in detail as the projects progress.
Non-Infrastructure Component (NI):
The non-infrastructure component (NI) is intended to support public education and community outreach related to active transportation. 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 each infrastructure project, 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 focused on bicycle and pedestrian safety, such as bicycle skills classes, guided community rides, and in-person education and encouragement aimed at increasing awareness and promoting safe walking and bicycling practices. The educational campaign will include the development of a city webpage, implementation of an online geo-spatial encouragement and education platform to promote safe cycling resources and provide education and encouragement about the health benefits of walking and biking and onsite community events.
The outreach and educational components to the non-infrastructure projects were included as part of the scope for the NI components of the ATP applications. The onsite community events scope includes events such as bike rodeos, community bike rides led by experienced cyclists, and bicycle friendly training events. The online educational and encouragement component is listed in the applications as the adoption of an online geo-spatial biking encouragement platform and the procurement of a consultant firm with expertise in biking education, community engagement and capacity building. The multilingual online hub would be free to community users and the process would collect demographic data and real-time feedback from users.
These efforts are intended to encourage safe use of active transportation facilities and support broader mobility and safety goals across the community. Consultant efforts will coordinate and lead around 400 community outreach opportunities across the three ATP projects over a project timeline of 3 years.
Consultant Procurement
In January 2026 the city issued a request for proposals (RFP) for professional consultant services for the active transportation program (ATP) non-infrastructure (NI) programs in support of the city’s three (3) state and federal ATP grant funded projects. Proposal submissions closed on February 10, 2026 and the city received three (3) proposals: Interwest, 4creeks, Love to Ride. Proposals were evaluated by 3 city project managers and scored.
Through the consultant proposal evaluation process, Love to Ride was selected as the most qualified consultant. Love to Ride illustrated a clear understanding of the project, project requirements, and project outcomes within their proposal. In addition, Love to Ride showed a history of experience with the outreach and education within the subject matter.
Fiscal Impact:
Each ATP application included the contribution of local matching funds to achieve the maximum points in the leveraging category of the funding application. The table below provides a summary of Visalia City Council Page 3 of 5 Printed on 6/12/2026

7 B.10 Subconsultants
Love to Ride will engage the subconsultants and advisory partners identified in this proposal to provide local and subject-matter expertise in support of delivery of the City of Visalia’s ATP NonInfrastructure Program outputs. These subconsultants support specific functions such as local technical guidance, community-based outreach, bicycle safety education, and subject-matter advisory services.
All subconsultants will operate under Love to Ride’s direction and within City-approved scopes of work. Love to Ride will serve as the Prime Consultant and retain full responsibility for project coordination, quality control, reporting, and compliance with all City of Visalia and California Transportation Commission requirements. Subconsultant information will be finalized and provided prior to contract execution in accordance with RFP requirements. 183
8 Executive Summary
Love to Ride is excited and ready to partner with the City of Visalia, local organizations, and community members across the Highland, Santa Fe, and Goshen project areas to deliver the ATP Cycle 7 Non-Infrastructure Program. This is a multi-year, multi-grant investment with high expectations for compliance, coordination, and measurable results. The proposed approach aligns directly with the Scope of Services and Required Services outlined in the RFP and reflects the City’s stated objectives for equitable, data-driven, and deliverable-focused non-infrastructure programming.
This investment provides a meaningful opportunity to deliver measurable increases in walking and bicycling while maximizing the return on ATP funds across all three project areas. Love to Ride has carefully reviewed the RFP requirements, CTC guidance, approved program outputs, and project constraints to develop a delivery approach that is achievable, compliant, and low risk.
Phase I: Output Revisions and CTC Readiness
Love to Ride has completed Phase I of this project by developing evidence-based, ATP-compliant recommendations for revised outputs and scopes. We have provided clear rationale for each recommended change and provided full draft the text that can be utilized in Exhibit 25-D forms.
Our goal is to make the delivery of this project as easy as possible for the City of Visalia. To that end, we have drafted the copy the three Exhibit 25-D (one for each project area) that the city can review and edit as they see fit for submission to the CTC.
We have carefully considered the aims of the project, the original output levels, scope and budget allocations, alongside 1) input from our local partners and our team members with expertise in NI program delivery (best practices and what actually works); and 2) a data-led understanding of the realities of each project area, e.g. how many schools are in each area and their catchment areas.
We have developed revised output numbers and a scope that is needed to successfully deliver the project and which balances feasibility of delivering the outputs and the best use of the available budget.
Phases II and III: Implementation Approach
Following CTC approval, Love to Ride proposes a cost-effective and fully compliant plan for delivering Phases II and III. The approach integrates community engagement, education, encouragement, and data-driven monitoring to achieve measurable behavior change outcomes while meeting all ATP reporting and accountability requirements. 184
9 Expertise and Team
Love to Ride specializes in ATP non-infrastructure delivery and has direct experience implementing ATP-funded programs. Non-infrastructure program delivery is our core area of expertise.
The proposed team combines national best practice with local knowledge:
• Safe Routes to School Expertise: Through the Safe Routes Partnership consulting team, Love to Ride brings nationally recognized SRTS expertise that complements our in-house experience working directly with school communities.
• Local Delivery Partners: Local partners, including VRPA and local contractor Mark Walls, bring deep relationships within the Visalia community.

24 C.4 Project Approach, Scope of Work, City
Participation
C.4.1 Project Understanding and Approach
Understanding the City’s Needs
Love to Ride understands that the City of Visalia requires an approach that effectively delivers its three ATP Non-Infrastructure grants-responding to current community conditions while maintaining alignment with the safety, equity, and accountability commitments approved by the California Transportation Commission (CTC).
Our approach addresses two immediate needs:
1. a clear, defensible refinement of the approved outputs for the Highland, Santa Fe Street, and Goshen project areas; and
2. a delivery strategy capable of implementing those outputs successfully over the life of the grants.
Integrated, Implementation-Ready Framework
Drawing on national experience, California-specific ATP delivery, and local knowledge of Visalia’s neighborhoods, schools, and corridors, Love to Ride establishes an implementation-ready framework that prioritizes feasibility, documentation, and long-term impact.
Platform-Enabled, Place-Based Delivery
Delivery is structured through place-based model that pairs targeted in-person engagement with a scalable platform-enabled support, education and encouragement. Local insight informs where and how activities are sequenced, ensuring that safety education, Safe Routes to School efforts, community rides, and Bicycle Friendly Driver Training directly reinforce corridor safety goals and infrastructure investments.
Behavior Change and Safety Outcomes
The program strategy is grounded in proven behavior change theory and focuses on reducing barriers, building confidence, and supporting repeat participation among new and occasional users.
Coordinated in-person and digital delivery ensures consistent messaging, equitable access, and reliable tracking of participation and outcomes across all project areas. 200
25 Data, Documentation, and Accountability
Love to Ride’s digital platform supports planning-grade data collection and defensible documentation aligned with CTC reporting expectations, reducing administrative burden on City staff while strengthening program oversight and audit readiness.
Measurable, Compliant Results
The result is a compliant, actively managed Non-Infrastructure program that leverages local knowledge as a force multiplier and delivers measurable outcomes tied directly to Visalia’s ATP investments.
C.4.2 Phase I – Completed Work
Approach to Revisions
Love to Ride has completed Phase I of this project by preparing a complete, CTC-compliant set of revised ATP Non-Infrastructure outputs reflecting current implementation conditions following award of all three projects. Phase I revision work was completed as part of this proposal, consistent with the RFP and Addendum requirements.
Our goal is to make the delivery of this project as easy as possible for the City of Visalia. To that end, we have drafted the copy the three Exhibit 25-D (one for each project area) that the city can review and edit as they see fit for submission to the CTC. You can find draft Exhibit 25-Ds in Appendix A.
The revisions do not change project intent, goals, eligibility, geographic focus, or approved funding.
All revised outputs remain fully eligible under the ATP Non-Infrastructure Program and maintain equivalent or improved community benefit. No budget is associated with Phase I work; budget estimates included in this proposal apply only to Phases II and III, which are contingent on CTC approval.
The City will submit the revised outputs and required LAPG exhibits for consideration at the May 14, 2026, CTC meeting. Final scopes, schedules, and fees for Phases II and III will be negotiated and executed following CTC approval, consistent with City procurement requirements. 201
26 Scope Review Methodology and Rationale for Proposed
Revisions
The proposed revisions to the Non-Infrastructure outputs and related budget assumptions for each project area were developed through a structured, delivery-focused review process. This process aimed to ensure that approved outputs remain feasible, effective, and compliant under current implementation conditions.
The CTC-approved Non-Infrastructure outputs, schedules, and budget assumptions were reviewed and amended to ensure that the program can be delivered successfully over the three-year project period. The review considered both conditions specific to each area and the practical implications of delivering all three ATP Cycle 7 projects concurrently.
The review methodology included the following steps:
• Review of approved ATP materials
The original Cycle 7 application, CTC-approved outputs, and supporting budget assumptions were reviewed to confirm continued alignment with ATP eligibility requirements, project intent, and performance expectations. This review provided the baseline against which feasibility, delivery risk, and program effectiveness were assessed. • Best practice and local partner consultation
Discussions with practitioners who understand which activities work well in practice and constitute best practice — along with those that are less impactful or more difficult to deliver effectively — were incorporated into the review. Consultation with people delivering this work in Visalia helped ensure that proposed outputs reflect both national best practice and local delivery realities.
• Verification of schools and corridor conditions
School locations and attendance zones within and adjacent to each project area were mapped and verified to establish an accurate count of eligible schools. This verification informed adjustments to school-based Safe Routes to School education and encouragement outputs to better align with the number of eligible sites in each project area. • Assessment of delivery feasibility and implementation risk Careful consideration was given to how many of each output is appropriate for the project area to achieve the aims of the project and also be realistically delivered over the three-year period. Participation assumptions, volunteer reliance, weather sensitivity, local context, and national best practices were evaluated to identify outputs where adjustments would improve certainty of completion without reducing overall community benefit. • Review of program quality, safety, and incentive assumptions Incentive quantities, unit costs, and safety standards were reviewed to ensure that budgeted materials — such as bicycle locks and helmets — meet their intended safety and security purpose and reflect best-practice ATP Non-Infrastructure program delivery. These reviews 202
27 informed refinements to budget assumptions to improve program quality, safety outcomes, and accountability.
• Evaluation of coordinated delivery across three projects Following the award of all three ATP Cycle 7 projects, opportunities for coordinated planning and more cost-effective delivery were reviewed for adjacent geographies and similar output types. This evaluation sought to reduce unnecessary duplication while maintaining clear accountability, reporting, and compliance for each individual grant.
This combined methodology and review process was used to develop both the revised output recommendations and the qualitative estimates of impacts on walking, bicycling, and safety presented in later sections of this document. All revised outputs remain eligible under the ATP NonInfrastructure Program and preserve or improve the net benefits identified in the original application.
Detailed output-by-output rationale and supporting corridor school mapping are provided in Appendices A and B.
203
28 Revisions - Project Area Context
Alignment of Project Area Context – Goshen–Visalia Corridor The Goshen–Visalia Corridor serves a historically auto-oriented community and was framed in the City’s ATP application as an equity and connectivity-focused investment emphasizing safety and readiness ahead of full infrastructure completion. Mode split data confirms high auto reliance, despite average trip lengths that suggest long-term potential for shorter active trips.
Prior to completion of improvements, much of the corridor functions as a higher-stress environment for bicycling. Engagement therefore prioritizes skills-building, safety education, and confidence development in lower-stress locations, particularly schools, which serve as anchors for early participation.
Revisions to Goshen’s Non-Infrastructure outputs reflect this emphasis by maintaining robust school-based education and encouragement while conservatively scaling activities dependent on weather, volunteer participation, or corridor-wide comfort. Phase III delivery applies defined project boundaries and targeted messaging to support data collection and project-specific reporting.

29 Highland Project Area Context and Rationale for Output Revisions The Highland project area is located within a citywide bicycling environment supported by the City of Visalia’s Safe Routes to School (SRTS) Master Plan. In its ATP Non-Infrastructure application, the City identified Highland as a school- and neighborhood-focused area, prioritizing youth safety and short local trips. The area’s flat topography, compact block structure, and school-adjacent land uses support this emphasis on short-distance, utilitarian travel that is most feasible for walking and bicycling.
Travel behavior data indicates continued reliance on private vehicles, and many neighborhood streets function as higher-stress environments for people walking and bicycling. Engagement strategies therefore prioritize skills-building, safety education, and confidence development in lowerstress and controlled settings—particularly school campuses and school-adjacent environments— where participants can build familiarity and comfort before transitioning to on-street riding. Because the Highland project area includes a limited number of elementary and secondary schools, schoolbased programming has been calibrated to realistic participation levels and delivery capacity.
While school-related and short local trips represent a subset of overall travel demand, they account for a meaningful share of trips most likely to contribute to incremental increases in walking and bicycling mode share. Prioritizing safety education, repeated exposure, and confidence development supports gradual changes in travel behavior over time, particularly for youth and families. The revised Non-Infrastructure outputs reflect this reality by aligning activity levels with achievable participation while maintaining a focus on measurable outcomes within the Highland project boundary.
Revisions to Highland’s Non-Infrastructure outputs emphasize school-year–aligned programming, scalable skills education, and activities with a high degree of delivery control. Outputs that rely heavily on volunteer participation, third-party coordination, or higher on-street comfort have been conservatively adjusted to ensure feasibility and accountability. Phase III delivery supports this approach through targeted outreach and platform-enabled participation and trip tracking within the Highland project area, enabling consistent documentation of engagement levels, trip characteristics, and active transportation participation over the course of the project.

Project Area Output Revisions and Rationale – Santa Fe
Project Area Context
The Santa Fe Street corridor is identified in the City’s ATP application as a visibility and demonstration corridor, emphasizing safety awareness and phased adoption as infrastructure improvements come online. Existing conditions remain auto-oriented, with traffic volumes and intersections contributing to higher-stress conditions for walking and bicycling.
The project area includes a limited number of schools, making high-volume school-based programming impractical. Engagement therefore emphasizes scalable, controllable activities such as bicycle skills education, community challenges, outreach, and demonstration events, while calibrating school-dependent programs to realistic capacity.
Revisions to Santa Fe’s Non-Infrastructure outputs reflect this approach. Phase III delivery supports targeted corridor-adjacent engagement, platform-enabled tracking, and project-specific reporting aligned with evolving corridor conditions.

C.4.5. Phase III – Program Delivery and Implementation
(contingent work)
Delivery Framework: How Love to Ride Delivers the Approved Scope Phase III implementation is delivered through a platform-enabled, place-based framework that integrates campaigns, outreach, safety education, community feedback, and documentation into a coordinated system of delivery. The Love to Ride digital platform and mobile app serve as the central system for engagement, communication, and reporting, including the collection of participant feedback related to comfort, safety, and riding conditions. Rather than treating each Non210 35 Infrastructure activity as a standalone task, Love to Ride deploys the approved scope through a shared operating model that ensures activities are appropriately timed, targeted, reinforced, and documented across all project areas.
This framework reflects how Love to Ride has successfully delivered ATP-aligned NonInfrastructure programs in California and nationally and is designed to support consistency, compliance, and measurable outcomes over the life of the grants.
Campaigns as the Organizing Delivery Structure
Campaigns serve as the primary organizing structure for Phase III delivery. Each campaign defines the timing, audience focus, messaging, and documentation window for multiple approved outputs, including community outreach, bicycle safety education, Safe Routes to School (SRTS) activities, Bicycle Friendly Driver Training (BFDT), and the collection of community feedback.
Campaign cycles provide:
• Defined engagement windows for concentrated outreach, participation, and feedback • Sequenced promotion before, during, and after campaigns using the Love to Ride platform and mobile app
• Consistent documentation periods for tracking outputs, participation counts, and community input
Place-Based Targeting by Project Area
Delivery is structured around the Highland, Santa Fe Street, and Goshen project areas using established geo-fences. Place-based targeting enables Love to Ride to:
• Direct outreach, messaging, safety education, and feedback prompts to participants within each project area through the platform and mobile app
• Tailor engagement based on corridor characteristics, schools, and community context • Document participation and community feedback by project area to support ATP reporting and planning use.
Community Feedback and Targeted Engagement
Community feedback is collected through multiple complementary vehicles to ensure broad participation and accessible input. Feedback vehicles include:
• Anonymous online and in-app surveys and prompts
211
36 • In-app route comfort and incident reporting
• Direct email outreach and follow-up
• In-person surveys and interviews conducted at community events and activities All feedback is summarized at an aggregate level to support defensible reporting and planning-level analysis.
Targeted engagement tools are used to:
• Prompt participation and feedback through announcements, email outreach, and app-based notifications
• Re-prompt individuals who have not responded during active delivery periods • Reinforce key safety and behavior messages for participants who have engaged Integration of Safety Education, SRTS, and Feedback
Bicycle safety education, SRTS activities, and community feedback collection are integrated within the broader delivery framework rather than delivered as isolated efforts. Safety education content and BFDT promotion are surfaced through the Love to Ride platform and mobile app during campaigns, while feedback tools are used to capture participant experience related to school routes, family riding conditions, and perceived safety near schools.
SRTS delivery is coordinated through school profiles and family-facing tools, supporting youth safety education, family participation, and school-specific feedback aligned with campaign schedules.
Coordinated Digital and In-Person Delivery
Phase III delivery pairs Love to Ride’s digital platform and mobile app with in-person activities led by local partners. The platform and app serve as the primary systems for promotion, registration, communication, feedback collection, and documentation, while in-person activities provide visibility, trust-building, and hands-on engagement.
212
37 C.4.6 Scope of Work
Task 1 Campaign Planning
Campaign Planning and Delivery Approach
Leveraging the capabilities described in the Delivery Framework, Love to Ride will develop coordinated campaign plans to guide Phase III delivery of the CTC-approved Non-Infrastructure outputs identified in Attachment G. Campaign planning will be anchored by the Love to Ride Visalia website (the Site), which serves as the community-facing front end of the engagement platform and the primary vehicle for campaign promotion, participation tracking, and ATP-compliant documentation.
The Site will be configured with geotargeted boundaries that include: (1) a citywide boundary inclusive of the Goshen community, and (2) discrete project-area boundaries for Highland, Santa Fe Street, and the Goshen–Visalia Corridor, to be finalized in coordination with City staff following approval. This structure supports both community-wide engagement and project-level accountability.
Campaigns will be seasonally sequenced to provide sustained encouragement throughout the year, with an emphasis on foundational rider confidence, skills, and comfort as precursors to regular bicycling for everyday transportation. Campaign planning will explicitly account for variation in rider experience, perceived traffic stress, and corridor conditions across project areas to ensure that proposed activities are feasible, targeted, and aligned with approved output quantities.
As part of campaign planning, Love to Ride will define how digital campaign components and complementary in-person activities are coordinated during implementation, while reserving specific delivery methods for subsequent Phase III tasks. Planning outputs will consist of implementationready campaign frameworks that support consistent delivery, transparent oversight, and defensible CTC reporting following Notice to Proceed.
Proposed Annual Campaign Structure
Love to Ride recommends three annual campaigns to establish a consistent, behavior-changedriven program rhythm while responding to seasonal riding patterns.
Two community-wide campaigns will be scheduled during higher-participation months and designed to engage organizations and schools. These campaigns leverage team-based participation and institutional partners to recruit new and occasional riders, normalize bicycling as a transportation option, and efficiently deliver education, encouragement, and data collection at scale.
A third campaign in December will focus on individual rider safety and encouragement, when participation is more personal and conditions present higher risk. This campaign emphasizes short trips, visibility, and safety skills to support rider confidence during lower-daylight months while continuing to generate meaningful safety and network feedback. 213
38 Annual Campaign Calendar
• Bike Month (May)
• Walk & Biketober (October)
• Winter Wheelers (December)
Campaign Components and Documentation
Each campaign will include the development and delivery of the following core components, structured to align with ATP reporting requirements.
Campaign Project Plan
A tactical plan defining:
• Launch and promotion timelines
• Target audiences, partners, and influencers
• Outreach and communication strategies
• Milestones and performance tracking measures
Community Engagement and Documentation
Targeted strategies to engage:
• Project-area schools, organizations, and businesses
• Identified community stakeholders
Each campaign will generate a summary documenting:
• Total participation and organization participation
• Participation by project area
• Engagement with priority populations
• Outreach logs and activity records
214
39 Platform- and Campaign-Centered Delivery
Campaigns will be planned and delivered through the Love to Ride Visalia platform, which serves as the central hub for engagement and documentation, including:
• Community-facing campaign pages with aggregated participation metrics, challenges, and leaderboards
• Individual, school, employer, and organization profiles to support peer encouragement • Partner-facing dashboards and data exports to document approved outputs and performance measures
• Integration of in-person activities—such as safety workshops, school programs, and community events—as campaign-supported components
Behavior Change, Safety, and SRTS Integration
Campaigns will apply evidence-based behavior change methods, including audience segmentation, targeted encouragement, and gamified challenges, to support new and occasional riders. Bicycle safety education will be incorporated as a core campaign component through digital content, inperson workshops, and documented participation aligned with approved outputs.
Safe Routes to School (SRTS) activities will be integrated through Walk and Ride to School campaigns, including youth safety workshops, family engagement challenges, and school-specific profiles. All SRTS activities will be documented in alignment with approved outputs and ATP reporting requirements.
Privacy, Coordination, and Evaluation
Campaign delivery will respect participant choice and privacy through voluntary participation, nonGPS options, and the use of aggregated, anonymized data for reporting.
Love to Ride will coordinate with the City and project partners to identify key stakeholders by project area and support periodic coordination touchpoints before, during, and after campaigns. This approach strengthens local capacity, supports continuous improvement, and maintains alignment with approved outputs and City priorities.
For each campaign, Love to Ride will track KPIs aligned with ATP requirements, including participation by project area, transportation-related trips, safety and SRTS participation, and school and employer engagement. Results will be summarized through required progress reports using platform data, surveys, manual reporting, and documented in-person attendance. 215
40 Task 2 – Community Outreach, Engagement, Education
Love to Ride will deliver coordinated community outreach and education activities that expand participation in active transportation, strengthen bicycle safety and confidence, and generate documented community feedback aligned with approved ATP Non-Infrastructure outputs. Task 2 activities are delivered through the Phase III delivery framework, combining campaign-based digital engagement with place-based, in-person programming across the Highland, Santa Fe Street, and Goshen project areas.
Community Outreach - Community-Led and Digitally Supported Our outreach strategy is that community outreach is delivered through a balanced model that pairs Love to Ride’s digital platform and mobile app with in-person, community-led engagement. Digital tools support coordination, communication, feedback collection, and documentation, while projectbased in-person teams support local activities remain central for trust-building, relationship development, and participation among communities that prefer or require non-digital engagement.
Participation in digital tools is voluntary. Love to Ride does not require GPS tracking, and individuals may participate through manual reporting or in-person activities without creating digital profiles. This approach respects participant privacy and acknowledges that some populations are sensitive to tracking technologies or prefer low-barrier participation options.
Outreach, Marketing, and Promotion
Each campaign is supported by a complete, customized marketing and promotions package designed to reach priority audiences and support participation across delivery channels. Campaignspecific outreach includes:
• Branded social media and print materials tailored by audience and project area. • Geotargeted announcements, email outreach, and app-based notifications aligned with the Highland, Santa Fe Street, and Goshen project areas to ensure messages are locally relevant.
• Targeted messaging sequenced by campaign phase (pre-campaign, active delivery, and follow-up) to support recruitment, participation, and reinforcement. • Multilingual outreach materials and translated content to reduce participation barriers. • Partner-ready toolkits - including flyers, posters, social media assets, employer tools, presentations, and short-form digital content-to extend reach through trusted local channels. 216
41 Marketing and promotion are coordinated with in-person activities so that digital outreach reinforces, rather than replaces, community presence. All marketing, promotional, and outreach materials will be developed in coordination with the City and project partners and will be subject to City review and approval prior to public release, consistent with applicable branding, accessibility, and ATP program guidelines.
Outreach and Education Activities
Outreach and education activities will include:
• Community-led rides and demonstrations designed to build rider comfort and introduce local routes.
• Bicycle safety education workshops and pop-up events delivered in coordination with local partners.

• Distribution of multilingual educational and promotional materials through schools, community organizations, and events.
• Embedded project-area–based delivery teams that combine local outreach coordination, bicycle safety education, and trusted community partnerships.
Participation in in-person activities is documented through attendance logs, brief surveys, and optional digital check-ins to support ATP-compliant tracking.
Community Feedback Collection
Community feedback is embedded into outreach and education activities to capture participant experience and planning-relevant insight. Feedback tools include brief, accessible surveys delivered digitally or in person to collect information on:
• Rider comfort and confidence
• Perceived safety and route conditions
• Barriers to participation and opportunities for improvement Where appropriate, feedback prompts are geotargeted by project area or corridor to support location-specific insights while maintaining participant anonymity. Results are summarized at an aggregate level to support documentation, evaluation, and planning use. 217
42 Safe Routes to School (SRTS) Outreach
SRTS outreach is delivered through Love to Ride’s Walk and Ride to School programming and aligned with campaign schedules and school calendars. Activities focus on youth safety education, family engagement, and demonstration of safe school connections.

REQUEST FOR PROJECT SCOPE CHANGE (Local ATP Projects)
Project Name: Goshen–Visalia Corridor Connection Project Implementing Agency: City of Visalia
ATP Cycle: Cycle 7 – Non-Infrastructure
Introduction / Background
The City of Visalia respectfully submits this Request for Project Scope Change for the Goshen– Visalia Corridor Connection Project, an Active Transportation Program (ATP) Cycle 7 NonInfrastructure award.
Following the grant award, the City conducted a detailed review of the approved Non-Infrastructure outputs and associated budget assumptions to confirm feasibility, delivery quality, and alignment with current corridor conditions. This review incorporated updated school location and attendance zone mapping, refined participation assumptions, and a delivery risk assessment across the full implementation period.
Based on this review, the City proposes targeted revisions to Non-Infrastructure outputs and associated budget allocations that preserve ATP eligibility and intent while improving delivery certainty, safety outcomes, and accountability.
1. Explanation of the Proposed Scope Change
The proposed scope change consists of:
• Adjustments to the quantity and distribution of approved Non-Infrastructure outputs, and
• Corresponding refinements to budget assumptions necessary to support the effective delivery of the revised outputs, including the hours and materials needed to deliver the 261
adjusted outputs.
The proposed changes:
• Do not alter the project’s geographic limits
• Do not change the fundamental purpose or eligibility of the project • Do not introduce new activity types outside ATP Non-Infrastructure categories • Do not increase total ATP funding or request additional allocation Revised Output Table - Goshen Visalia Corridor Connection Project CTC Approved Output Originally Approved

Scope Review Methodology and Rationale for Proposed Revisions The proposed revisions to the Goshen–Visalia Corridor Connection Project Non-Infrastructure outputs and related budget assumptions were developed through a structured, delivery-focused review process. This process aimed to ensure that approved outputs remain feasible, effective, and compliant under current implementation conditions.
The CTC-approved Non-Infrastructure outputs, schedules, and budget assumptions were reviewed and amended to ensure that the program can be delivered successfully over the three-year project period. The review considered both conditions specific to the Goshen–Visalia Corridor and the practical implications of delivering all three ATP Cycle 7 projects concurrently.
This review methodology included the following steps:
• Review of approved ATP materials
The original Cycle 7 application, CTC-approved outputs, and supporting budget assumptions were reviewed to confirm continued alignment with ATP eligibility requirements, project intent, and performance expectations. This review provided the baseline against which feasibility, delivery risk, and program effectiveness were assessed. • Best practice and local partner consultation
Discussions with practitioners who understand which activities work well in practice and constitute best practice—along with those that are less impactful or more difficult to deliver effectively—were incorporated into the review. Consultation with people delivering this work in Visalia helped ensure that proposed outputs reflect both national best practice and local delivery realities.
• Verification of schools and corridor conditions
School locations and attendance zones within and adjacent to the Goshen–Visalia Corridor were mapped and verified to establish an accurate count of eligible schools. This verification informed adjustments to school-based Safe Routes to School education and encouragement outputs to better align with the number of eligible sites in the project area. • Assessment of delivery feasibility and implementation risk Careful consideration was given to how many of each output is appropriate for the project area to achieve the aims of the project and also be realistically delivered over the three-year period. Participation assumptions, volunteer reliance, weather sensitivity, local context, and national best practices were evaluated to identify outputs where adjustments would improve certainty of completion without reducing overall community benefit. • Review of program quality, safety, and incentive assumptions Incentive quantities, unit costs, and safety standards were reviewed to ensure that budgeted materials — such as bicycle locks and helmets — meet their intended safety and security purpose and reflect best-practice ATP Non-Infrastructure program delivery. These reviews informed refinements to budget assumptions to improve program quality, safety outcomes, and accountability.
263
• Evaluation of coordinated delivery across three projects Following the award of all three ATP Cycle 7 projects, opportunities for coordinated planning and more cost-effective delivery were reviewed for adjacent geographies and similar output types. This evaluation sought to reduce unnecessary duplication while maintaining clear accountability, reporting, and compliance for each individual grant.
This combined methodology and review process was used to develop both the revised output recommendations and the qualitative estimates of impacts on walking, bicycling, and safety presented in later sections of this document. All revised outputs remain eligible under the ATP NonInfrastructure Program and preserve or improve the net benefits identified in the original application.
Detailed output-by-output rationale and supporting corridor school mapping are provided in Appendices A and B.
4. Impact of the Proposed Scope Change on Project Cost
4.1 Overall Project Cost
The proposed scope and output revisions do not materially change the total approved project cost. • Original Total Project Budget: $590,660
• Revised Total Project Budget: $590,487
There is no change to the ATP funding request as a result of the proposed scope changes.
The minor net change in total project cost reflects refinements to delivery assumptions and budget allocations to better align with revised outputs and implementation realities, rather than any expansion of project scope.
4.2 Summary of Budget Refinements by Task
Budget refinements were made to align with the revised outputs and updated delivery assumptions identified through the scope review process.
Task A – Bicycle Friendly Driver Training (for Motorists) This project is one of three similar ATP projects implementing Bicycle Friendly Driver Training in Visalia. As a result, the original budget assumption for program development costs can be proportionally shared across the three projects, reducing the cost allocation for Task A within this project. Delivery and distribution of the training remain project-specific, and associated delivery costs are unchanged.
264
Task B – Bicycling Online Engagement Platform
Task B includes workshops, education, community engagement, surveys, and tracking of changes in transportation behavior. Additional detail was incorporated to more accurately reflect the staffing roles, hours, and rates required to deliver these elements effectively. The Task B budget has been adjusted to reflect refined staffing assumptions and expanded outreach coordination aligned with actual delivery needs.
Task C – Community-Led Bike Rides and Bicycle Education The amount of on-the-ground bicycling education trainer hours was adjusted to align with the revised number and distribution of outputs, including bike rodeos, led rides, and related education activities.
The original budget also included a relatively large allocation for incentives and materials, including helmets, bicycle locks, lights, and other items. Based on updated participation assumptions and population context, the quantity of incentive items was reforecast to better match planned activities and avoid over-procurement.
In addition, the review identified that a significant share of the original budget would have been directed toward incentives rather than training, outreach, and coordination activities that are essential to effective engagement. As a result, a portion of the budget was reallocated toward community outreach, engagement, project coordination, monitoring, and evaluation to better support program effectiveness.
Task D – Senior Project Manager
No change. The budget remains at $180,000 to cover City staff time required to manage and oversee the project over the three-year period.
4.3 Explanation of Material Budget Adjustments
Adjustment of Staffing Hours
Staffing hours were adjusted to reflect the revised outputs and scope. Budget allocations were updated accordingly to ensure sufficient capacity to deliver the revised program elements while maintaining overall cost control.
Bicycle Lock Quantity and Unit Cost Adjustment
The originally approved project budget included 1,000 bicycle locks at an estimated unit cost of $15 per lock. Upon further review, it was determined that locks at this price point would not reliably meet the intended program objective of preventing bicycle theft, particularly for participants who rely on bicycles for essential transportation.
To ensure incentive items fulfill their intended safety and security purpose, the revised budget reflects procurement of 300 higher-quality bicycle locks at an estimated unit cost of $41 per lock, selected to meet a minimum security threshold appropriate for everyday use. 265
Helmet and Safety Equipment Adjustments
Helmet and safety equipment quantities were refined to reflect revised output levels and verified participation assumptions, ensuring adequate supply without over-procurement. Unit costs remain consistent with original assumptions and ATP eligibility guidance.
Staffing Rate and Role Refinements
Staffing allocations were refined to reflect realistic professional service rates and clearer role definitions, such as senior outreach specialist, outreach coordinator, and evaluation support. These refinements improve accountability, clarity, and delivery quality without increasing the total project cost.
5. Impact on the Project’s Ability to Increase Walking and Bicycling The proposed scope and budget revisions maintain or improve the project’s ability to increase walking and bicycling.
While certain activity counts are reduced, these changes are offset by increased emphasis on the activities that have been determined will be most effective for the local project area. It’s important to note that some activities will reach more people than others (e.g. one school-wide SRTS day will reach more people than one bicycle skills class) or have a greater efficacy of encouraging mode shift, therefore, reduced output counts in certain activities don’t directly correlate with the number of people engaged and the level of mode shift achieved.
Overall, the revised output mix preserves the net benefit anticipated in the original ATP application.
6. Impact on the Project’s Ability to Improve Safety
The revised scope strengthens safety outcomes by:
• Focusing the budget on delivering bike safety training and engaging people in this training.
Via reallocating budget from incentives to these budget lines. • Prioritizing high-quality safety equipment and ensuring incentive items meet their intended protective purpose
• Delivering the most appropriate activities for each community at the most appropriate frequency during the project.
No reduction in anticipated safety benefit is expected as a result of the proposed changes. 266
8. MPO Approval
Not applicable.
The Goshen–Visalia Corridor Connection Project was funded through the Small Urban and Rural component of the Active Transportation Program.
Additional Questions
Does this scope change require revalidation of the environmental document? No.
The proposed changes are limited to Non-Infrastructure program outputs and budget refinements and do not affect physical project elements or environmental assumptions.
Public Outreach Related to the Scope Change
The proposed revisions respond to verified implementation conditions and do not alter the project’s overall engagement intent or community focus.
Conclusion
The City of Visalia respectfully requests approval of the proposed Non-Infrastructure output and budget refinements for the Goshen–Visalia Corridor Connection Project. The revisions preserve ATP eligibility and intent, improve delivery certainty and safety, and position the project for successful and accountable implementation within the Cycle 7 grant period.

Appendix A – Detailed Revision Rationale By Output - Goshen Output Category Approved Revised Rationale
Bicycle Skills
Classes
32 32 Output Description: Typically, small group bicycle skills training classes, with 1-2 qualified League biking Instructors (LCIs) (number of instructors depends on
the number of sign-ups per class)
Recommended Adjustment: None
Rationale: The number of classes is over the course
of the three-year project, averaging approximately
one Bicycle Skills Class per month. We have direct
control over the delivery with local LCI bike instructors (not reliant on volunteers or other unknowns), and
we’re confident we can encourage enough people we
engage with to attend a bicycle skills class and build
their confidence to fill ~1 class per month.
Community
Biking
Challenges
8 8 Output Description: Community-wide challenges,
workplaces and community groups can compete in a
fun challenge that encourages more people to ride
and walk more often, and for transportation. Includes
a school-focused challenge as one of the 3
challenges delivered each year, along with a Bike
Month Challenge (May) and Biketober challenge
(Biketober). Challenges are hosted on the Love to
Ride platform, and are scalable and economic
community engagement, encouragement and
education.
Recommended Adjustment: None
Rationale: These challenges are a known program
that we have a tried and tested track record of
delivering in communities in California, as well as
across the country. We can deliver 2 community
challenges and 1 school-focused challenge per year,
so 9, but have budgeted for and recommended 8 to
guarantee delivery of this outcome within the
timeframe. These challenges will also engage the
community and provide an audience which we can
268
then promote other NI programming (e.g. people who
could attend bike skills classes, community rides,
etc).
Community
Demonstrations /
Events
10 10 Output Description: Public-facing events designed to promote new or improved infrastructure or routes
as they come online, demonstrate safe bicycling
practices, distribute educational materials, and/or
engage residents in active transportation.
Recommended Adjustment: None
Rationale: Delivering 3-4 of these events per year in
the project area is an achievable output, it’s not
expensive, and will support community engagement,
safer biking, and infrastructure promotion efforts.
Community Bike
Rides
32 24 Output Description: Guided group rides led by
qualified ride leaders that introduce participants to
bicycling on streets or trails, emphasize safety skills, and increase comfort and confidence riding in realworld conditions.
Recommended Adjustment: Reduction
Rationale: To engage the community and build
demand for led group rides, it will likely take some
time to build an audience to invite to group rides.
Ideally, these would be run monthly, but we have
recommended a reduced total number to guarantee
delivery of this output, especially given that weather
conditions might cause some community rides to be
cancelled, or lower demand at some times of the year
when it’s too hot or too cold for some people.
Community
Outreach (Line
Item #5)
12 12 Output Description: Targeted engagement activities designed to reach priority populations through inperson outreach, multilingual materials, partnerships with community-based organizations, and culturally
responsive communication.
Recommended Adjustment: None
Rationale: Delivering 4 of these activities per year in the project area is an achievable output, it’s not very 269
expensive, and will support community engagement,
safer biking, and infrastructure promotion efforts.
Afterschool
Programs
10 4 Output Description: Structured, school-adjacent
educational programs delivered outside regular
school hours that teach bicycle and pedestrian safety,
build travel skills, and encourage active travel to and from school.
Recommended Adjustment: Reduction
Rationale: Afterschool program engagement can be
challenging to set-up given it can often rely on the
willingness of 3rd parties (afterschool program
organizations) and therefore it makes it hard to
commit to 10 programs as a guaranteed output of the
program.
Bike Rodeos
(SRTS)
8 8 Output Description: Hands-on, skills-based safety
events - typically for elementary-age students -
focused on bicycle handling, traffic awareness, helmet
use, and basic rules of the road.
Recommended Adjustment: None
Rationale: There are enough schools in the Goshen
project area (5 elementary schools along the length of
the corridor) to justify doing 8 rodeos.
SRTS
Encouragement
Days
8 18 Output Description: Single-day school-based events that encourage walking or bicycling to school,
supported by incentives, family outreach, and
classroom activities.
Recommended Adjustment: Increase
Rationale: There are 2 high schools, 2 middle
schools and 5 elementary schools along the Goshen
project corridor. Typically, 1-3 encouragement days
are run in a school in a year (depending on school
buy-in and school community needs). This output is
achievable and needed given the number of schools.
For example, 6 of the 9 schools doing 1 a year for 3
years.
270
School
Assemblies
4 10 Output Description: School-wide educational
presentations focused on bicycle and pedestrian
safety, active travel benefits, and awareness of safe
travel behaviors.
Recommended Adjustment: Increase
Rationale: There are 5 elementary schools and 2
middle schools in the Goshen project area. We will
carry out at least 10 assembly presentations during
the course of the project.
Schools with
Bicycle Train
Programs
2 2 Output Description: Organized group bicycling
programs where students ride to school together
along a planned route under adult supervision,
building safety, confidence, and consistency in active
school travel.
Recommended Adjustment: None
Rationale: Parent buy-in and volunteers are essential
for the success of a Bike Train program. We will have
a paid ride leader for each bike train to provide
training, safety support, route planning, and guide the founding, organization and growth of each bike train;
however, it’s much harder to guarantee the number of
outputs when the output is so reliant on volunteers
and parental buy-in for its successful implementation
and delivery. Running regular bike trains (as per best
practice) will also have high initial running costs and absorb a lot of the budget.
271
Appendix B – School Location and Attendance Zone Mapping To review and then develop accurate school outputs, we have:
1. Reviewed the Visalia Unified School District maps and overlaid the projects and project areas. We looked at both school location but also importantly looked at the catchment areas for each school in each project area and the direction of travel that students at those schools will take to help determine which schools should be in which project areas.
2. We have also looked at schools as community hubs, through which we can engage the local communities in close proximity to the project areas (both parents and children who live close by) even if the catchment area for some of those schools doesn’t directly contain a project corridor, but is close to it.
3. From developing and analyzing these various maps, we have determined accurate numbers for the schools and then the feasible and appropriate number of school-based events and outputs for each project area.
You can see some of the maps we created and analyzed below.

when it’s too hot or too cold for some people.
Community
Outreach (Line
Item #5)
12 12 Output Description: Targeted engagement activities designed to reach priority populations through inperson outreach, multilingual materials, partnerships with community-based organizations, and culturally
responsive communication.
Recommended Adjustment: None
Rationale: Delivering 4 of these events per year in
the project area is an achievable output, it’s not very 283
expensive, and will support community engagement,
safer biking, and infrastructure promotion efforts.
Afterschool
Programs
5 1 Output Description: Structured, school-adjacent
educational programs delivered outside regular
school hours that teach bicycle and pedestrian safety,
build travel skills, and encourage active travel to and from school.
Recommended Adjustment: Reduction
Rationale: In the Sante Fe project area is only 1
elementary schools n the Santa Fe project areas), 1
middle school and 1 high school. Afterschool program
engagement can be challenging to set-up given it can
often rely on the willingness of 3rd parties (afterschool program organizations) and therefore it makes it hard
to commit to 5 programs being establish as a
guaranteed output of the program.
Bike Rodeos
(SRTS)
10 2 Output Description: Hands-on, skills-based safety
events - typically for elementary-age students -
focused on bicycle handling, traffic awareness, helmet
use, and basic rules of the road.
Recommended Adjustment: Reduction
Rationale: There is only 1 elementary school in the
Sante Fe project area.
SRTS
Encouragement
Days
32 9 Output Description: Single-day school-based events that encourage walking or bicycling to school,
supported by incentives, family outreach, and
classroom activities.
Recommended Adjustment: Reduction
Rationale: There are not enough schools in the Santa
Fe project area to carry out 32 SRTS Encouragement
days. There are only 3 total schools in the area. To
achieve the original output, we’d need to get every
school onboard (it can be difficult to get 100% buy-in
from every school) and run 3 days a year at each
284
school. Revised output to 9 days to guarantee
delivery of these outputs.
School
Assemblies
5 5 Output Description: School-wide educational
presentations focused on bicycle and pedestrian
safety, active travel benefits, and awareness of safe
travel behaviors.
Recommended Adjustment: None
Rationale: Given there is 1 elementary schools and 1
middle school, we will carry out at least 5 assembly
presentations during the course of the project
(approximately 1 per year over 2 schools)
Schools with
Bicycle Train
Programs
4 1 Output Description: Organized group bicycling
programs where students ride to school together
along a planned route under adult supervision,
building safety, confidence, and consistency in active
school travel.
Recommended Adjustment: Reduction
Rationale: Parent buy-in and volunteers are essential
for the success of a Bike Train program. We will have
a paid ride leader for each bike train to provide
training, safety support, route planning, and guide the founding, organization and growth of each bike train;
however, it’s much harder to guarantee the number of
outputs when the output is so reliant on volunteers
and parental buy-in for its successful implementation
and delivery. Running regular bike trains (as per best
practice) will also have high initial running costs and absorb a lot of the budget.
285
Appendix B – School Location and Attendance Zone Mapping To review and then develop accurate school outputs, we have:
1. Reviewed the Visalia Unified School District maps and overlaid the projects and project areas. We looked at both school location but also importantly looked at the catchment areas for each school in each project area and the direction of travel that students at those schools will take to help determine which schools should be in which project areas.
2. We have also looked at schools as community hubs, through which we can engage the local communities in close proximity to the project areas (both parents and children who live close by) even if the catchment area for some of those schools doesn’t directly contain a project corridor, but is close to it.
3. From developing and analyzing these various maps, we have determined accurate numbers for the schools and then the feasible and appropriate number of school-based events and outputs for each project area.
You can see some of the maps we created and analyzed below.

Mark Wall
Public Transit Professional
Cyclist, Active Transportation Advocate
Background
After a very rewarding 40-plus-year career in public transit planning and management, my “retirement” focus is on projects that I love. These may include innovative transit projects, but will certainly include bicycle and pedestrian advocacy. My professional experience includes organization building and development, policy analysis, and leadership roles with a variety of organizations. I am very proud that I have been referred to as the leading advocate for rural transportation in California. All of this translates well into my desire to work locally with policy makers, planners, engineers, and community organizations to help create a bike and pedestrian friendly atmosphere that enhances quality of life.
Transit Experience
Principal - Mark Wall Associates
Lake Transit Authority (1996 – 2025) Lake County, CA
As General Manager for 23 years, and consultant advisor for the past six years, guided formation of the joint powers authority in July 1996, and developed service plans, facilities, and funding programs. Lake Transit is a leading rural transit provider with high ridership per capita, a consistently high fare revenue to operation cost ratio, and low cost per unit of service. These attributes are based on taking a full-service, multi-modal approach as a responsive institution for the community despite the challenges and constraints of rural population density and funding.
Lake Transit provides local bus routes, intercity bus routes connecting to the San Francisco Bay Area, and ADA paratransit services. In the wake of the Valley Fire National Emergency in 2015, initiated the LakeLinks non-profit to provide emergency relief and on-going non-emergency medical transportation.
Redwood Coast Transit Authority (2004-2016) Del Norte County, CA As Executive Director for12 years, guided formation of the joint powers authority in 2005, developed service plans, budgets, and grant programs. Initiated service to Redwood N.P., interlined service with Greyhound, established intercity service to Oregon.
Consulting Projects - Various Clients (1995-2020)
As a consultant to rural and small urban transit agencies, provided guidance on a wide variety of policy and operational issues. Prepared transit development plans, ADA plans, operations and maintenance analyses, and managed procurement of operations and maintenance contracts.
Clients included City of Roseville, San Benito County Local Transportation Commission, Fresno County Economic Opportunities Commission, Tehama County Local Transportation Commission, Mariposa County, and the Lake County/City Area Planning Council.
Transit Manager/Management Analyst
City of Visalia (1984-1995)

Implemented the City’s first fixed route network. Provided liaison to state and federal agencies. Conducted various analyses and research for fleet maintenance and solid waste divisions. 300
Mark Wall Associates Page 2
Transportation Planner
Fresno County Economic Opportunities Commission (1982 – 1984) Fresno, CA As Transportation Planner, analyzed unmet elderly and disabled transportation needs in the metropolitan Fresno area and rural Fresno County, negotiated service coordination agreements with non-profit social service transportation providers, developed and implemented the initial operations program and budget for the Fresno Metro and Rural Consolidated Transportation Services Agency providing coordinated service for fifteen agencies, prepared and managed grant applications, prepared various analyses, reports, and plans.
Bicycling Experience
Freedom describes my experience as a child when the bicycle was a means to explore the world.
It gave me pride to “compete” in a roadeo, and to show that I was independent enough to bicycle to school. In my teens, freedom and responsibility lead to opportunity as I bicycled 4,000 miles annually to deliver newspapers and collect from my customers. In my late 20’s, I sold my car so that I could afford to return to college. I then commuted about 15 miles daily between my home, my part-time job in Downtown Fresno, and school at Fresno State. In my 40s, I began riding for health as a “serious” recreational cyclist, and have ridden more than 90,000 miles, including longdistance tours, century and double-century endurance rides, and many rides around Tulare County. Today, I remain a recreational cyclist, but I am also making the bicycle my daily transportation mode of choice.
Active Transportation Advocate
Active Transportation Advisory Committee (ATAC)
Tulare County Association of Governments (TCAG) (2018-2026) I joined the ATAC in 2018, becoming Vice Chair in 2021, and Chairman in 2022. The ATAC supports TCAG members in their efforts to improve the safety, ease, and comfort of active transportation in every jurisdiction in the County. Committee work has included review of Active Transportation Program (ATP) and similar grant applications; receiving reports about ATP projects, bicycle safety outreach, public safety data, data collection tools, Active Transportation Planning, and much more; participation in implementing Smart Cycling bicycle safety education in Tulare County, and facilitating the training of League of American Bicyclists (LAB) Cycling Instructors to provide a volunteer pool to teach bicycle safety to all ages in Tulare County.
Board Member / Advocacy Director / President
Southern Sierra Cyclists (SSC) (2016-Present)
As a Board Member, Advocacy Director, and currently as President, I am involved in shaping club policy and participating in a wide variety of club projects. Advocacy efforts include all of the following:
• Keep SSC members informed about local, state, and national advocacy efforts; changes in state law that may impact cyclists; bicycle facility plans and proposals. • Liaison with other bicycling organizations on advocacy efforts. • Liaison with local governments and Caltrans to stay informed about bicycle facility plans and projects, and to provide input on behalf of SSC.
• Organizing SSC members to testify at public meetings concerning bicycle plans and proposed projects.
• Writing letters of support for local projects and grant applications. 301
Mark Wall Associates Page 3
Advisory Committees
City of Visalia 2017-2022
I have served on various City of Visalia committees as an active transportation advocate. These include:
• Waterways & Trails Committee 2017-2019
• Visalia Senior Games – Bicycle Committee 2018-2019
• Environmental Committee 2019- 2021
• Citizens Advisory Committee 2021-22
Transit Bike Programs 1992 - 2018
As a transit professional, I have always been interested in facilitating the first and last mile. In 1992, I ordered bike racks as original equipment for Visalia transit buses. Gillig Corporation told us that we were the first to do so. Brochures were prepared to introduce bus riders and cyclists to the new bike racks. At Lake Transit and Redwood Coast Transit, I collected statistics on bike boardings, and began surveying cyclists’ origins and destinations to see how much bike travel expanded bus route service area. Eventually, bike/bus trips became so popular that we increased rack capacity and began exploring bike storage and bike-sharing feasibility.
Sponsor - Greenhouse Montessori Bike and Walk to School Contest (1999) When my son attended Greenhouse Montessori pre-school, I sponsored a Bike and Walk to School contest for all of the children attending the school. With the help of their parents, kids kept a daily log of their walking and bicycling. The grand prize winners got their names and handprints in a concrete “plaque” at the base of a red bicycle-shaped bike rack that I donated and installed with help from other parents at the school. It remains there today! Other Relevant Transportation Experience

Introduction to Love to Ride’s Digital Tools
Love to Ride provides an established digital engagement platform and companion mobile application to support the delivery of Active Transportation Program (ATP) Non-Infrastructure activities, including education, encouragement, Safe Routes to School (SRTS), community outreach, and evaluation.
These digital tools are already in use across multiple California and national ATP-funded programs and are available for immediate deployment. They are designed to support, reinforce, and extend on-the-ground program delivery, not replace in-person engagement. Together, they provide a consistent system for participant registration, activity tracking, communication, survey collection, and reporting aligned with ATP documentation expectations.
A key strength of Love to Ride’s platform is its ability to support multiple projects running concurrently while maintaining clear separation of participants, outreach activities, and reporting outputs. This ensures that each project area, corridor, or target community can be managed within a single coordinated system while still producing project-specific data and audit-ready documentation.
Platform: Behavior Change and Engagement Capability
Love to Ride’s platform is built specifically to drive behavior change at scale. It is designed to support individuals across different stages of readiness, from those who have never ridden a bike, to occasional riders, to regular cyclists who can influence and encourage others.
The platform applies proven engagement principles including reducing barriers to entry, creating positive reinforcement, strengthening social norms, and providing timely prompts that encourage people to take action. Participants are supported through clear calls to action, visible progress tracking, and structured campaign moments that make biking feel achievable and socially supported.
This approach is especially effective in reaching new and infrequent riders, who often need more than information alone. Love to Ride combines motivation, recognition, and social participation features that encourage users to try biking in a low-pressure way, and then continue riding over time.
Behavior change is reinforced through a combination of tools including team participation, progress dashboards, milestone achievements, encouragement messaging, and opportunities for community recognition. This creates a repeatable system that supports both short-term participation gains and longer-term habit formation.
308
61 Community and Workplace Challenges
Love to Ride provides a proven challenge platform that cities can use to deliver ATP-eligible encouragement campaigns, such as Bike Month or neighborhood-based biking challenges, while tracking participation and outcomes for reporting.
These campaigns can be configured to align with Bike Month, community events, corridor-specific initiatives, neighborhood-based outreach, or project-area engagement priorities.
Challenges provide a structured and time-bound engagement opportunity that encourages participation from a broad audience, including people who may not typically ride a bike. Participants can join individually or as part of a workplace or community team, helping create social motivation and peer-to-peer encouragement.
The platform supports challenge configuration with defined timeframes, eligibility criteria, and project-area groupings. This allows the City to track participation and results separately for each ATP-funded project, while still offering residents one simple, consistent program to join.
Challenge tools support both real-time engagement and evaluation, including:
• participant registration and enrollment
• a variety of simple or popular ride and activity logging solutions • team and group participation plus referral tools
• engaging leaderboards that segment at workplace, local, industry and national levels • progress tracking and completion metrics
• engagement summaries suitable for ATP reporting
309
62 These features allow Love to Ride to deliver high-participation encouragement programs with consistent documentation and reduced administrative burden for City staff. 310
63 School Engagement and Safe Routes to School (SRTS)
Challenges
Love to Ride provides dedicated school engagement tools designed to support Safe Routes to School programming and school-based encouragement and education efforts. The platform includes functionality to engage students, families, and school staff in a format appropriate for school communities.
School challenges can be configured at the school level and aggregated by neighborhood or project area. This supports both school-specific engagement and broader corridor-based or communitybased SRTS efforts.
These tools enable the City and delivery partners to activate and monitor participation and engagement in a consistent way. The solution is easy to adopt and avoids safeguarding concerns by being a parent and teacher first platform.
The solution is focused on student impact and captures school and class level attributes (student population etc.) and then captures, ranks and celebrates activation, engagement, consistency, improvements and final leaderboard positions.
School tools are designed to support positive and inclusive participation. They emphasize encouragement and accessibility, making them suitable for new riders and families who may be trying active travel for the first time.
Reporting is supported through real-time dashboards and exportable summaries that track participation and outcomes at the student, class, school, and project-area level, enabling clear, audit-ready documentation for SRTS evaluation and ATP reporting. 311
64 Mobile App: Enabling Engagement, Insight, and Impact The Love to Ride mobile app is a core program tool that supports participant engagement, behavior change, and high-quality data collection. It is designed to work seamlessly in people’s everyday lives, making participation easy while delivering meaningful insight for program delivery and evaluation.
For participants, the app removes friction by making it simple to log bike trips - including short, everyday journeys that are often missed by traditional data sources. This low-effort approach is particularly effective for engaging new and infrequent riders who do not use biking computers/gadgets or wish to get their phone out of their pocket at the start and end of every trip.
Through the Rate My Routes feature, participants can easily share how safe and comfortable they feel on the routes they use. This provides direct, place-based feedback grounded in real journeys, strengthening engagement while generating decision-ready insight relevant to local context.
For program partners, the app delivers consistent, reliable data on participation, trips, and rider experience, reducing reliance on one-off surveys and strengthening baseline and follow-up evaluation. It also supports ongoing engagement through targeted prompts and encouragement aligned with campaign goals.
Together, the Love to Ride app and Rate My Routes functionality make participation easy, deliver unique lived-experience insight, and robust data and support impactful, evidence-backed outcomes. 312
65 Data Collection, Insight, and Reporting Framework
Love to Ride provides a comprehensive, integrated data framework that supports ATP NI–aligned evaluation, reporting, and decision-making. The platform is designed to capture multiple complementary data inputs and translate them into clear, accessible outputs for both public transparency and professional use.
Data Inputs
The platform captures a wide range of participant, activity, and network-related inputs, including:
• Participant demographics (collected on a voluntary basis, where appropriate) • Baseline, pre-, and post-challenge surveys, capturing confidence, perceived barriers, attitudes, and self-reported safety
• Activity and engagement data, such as trips logged, challenge participation, courses completed, and social engagement (e.g. encouragements and high fives) • Geospatial trip data, capturing where and how people ride, including short everyday journeys
• Route comfort and safety feedback via the Rate My Routes feature, reflecting perceived comfort and stress levels
• Reports of infrastructure issues and incidents, including user-identified problem areas • Custom surveys, deployable as needed for specific project areas, neighborhoods, events, or target groups
These inputs can be collected digitally and alongside in-person outreach, improving response rates and ensuring consistent documentation across project activities.
Data Outputs
All collected data flows into Love to Ride’s Insights and reporting environment, enabling both realtime monitoring and formal evaluation outputs, including:
• Live metrics and reporting within the Insights dashboard, supporting day-to-day program management
• Post-campaign reports, summarizing participation, engagement, and key outcomes • Final evaluation reports, suitable for grant close-out, audits, and stakeholder reporting • A public-facing Biking Feedback Map, visualizing aggregated rider comfort and safety perceptions
• Professional planning tools, including the Rider Comfort & Safety Map and Heatmap, providing anonymized, filterable insight for transport professionals Data can be exported in commonly used formats to support City reporting, Caltrans documentation, and audit-ready evaluation. This structured approach reduces manual data handling, improves transparency, and strengthens the defensibility of program outcomes. 313
66 Bike Education: Driver Education Course and Additional Learning Content
Love to Ride’s platform supports scalable education delivery through digital courses, informational content, and targeted communications. This will include a driver education course, as well as additional short educational modules designed to improve safety awareness and rider confidence.
Educational content can be delivered through structured course pages, tips and guidance articles, and digital prompts that reinforce key safety messages during campaign periods. This allows the City and delivery partners to provide consistent education messaging across different project areas and participant groups.
The platform also supports communication through emails, push notifications and in-platform announcements, enabling delivery of timely safety and encouragement content that aligns with program activities. Messaging can be designed to support different audiences, including new riders, students and families, and community members participating through outreach events.
Integrating education into the engagement platform allows Love to Ride to pair encouragement with practical learning, helping participants build confidence, improve safety knowledge, and turn initial participation into sustained riding.
314
67 Community Features: Photos, Stories, and Shared
Engagement
Love to Ride includes community-oriented features that encourage participants to share their experiences through stories and photos. These tools support positive program visibility and help strengthen community norms around biking.
Participant stories and shared content help make biking feel relatable and achievable, particularly for new riders who may be uncertain about getting started. This social proof plays an important role in behavior change by showing biking as a normal activity across different ages, backgrounds, and confidence levels.
Community content can also be used to reinforce campaign messaging and highlight local participation, helping build momentum during challenge periods and creating additional opportunities for recognition and celebration.
This contributes to a stronger sense of community, which supports longer-term participation beyond the initial program period.
315
68 Transportation Planning Dashboard and Reporting
Love to Ride provides a reporting and dashboard environment that enables partners to track participation, engagement, and evaluation results in real time and through post-program reporting.
The platform supports both day-to-day program monitoring and longer-term documentation for grant reporting and audits.
A key strength of the system is its structured approach to data management. Participation and survey results are stored in a consistent format that supports project-specific tracking while allowing program-wide coordination.
The reporting tools support standard ATP NI metrics including:
• participation counts
• engagement over time
• challenge completion and activity levels
• survey completion rates and results
• summaries suitable for progress reporting
Where appropriate, demographic and equity-relevant fields can also be collected on a voluntary basis to support equity analysis aligned with ATP guidance.
Data can be exported in commonly used formats to support City reporting requirements, Caltrans documentation, and audit-ready evaluation. This reduces manual data handling, improves transparency, and strengthens defensibility of program outcomes. 316
69 Survey, Feedback, and Route Perception Tools
Love to Ride’s platform includes built-in tools to support evaluation through surveys and participant feedback collection. These tools are commonly used to capture pre- and post-event insights, including participant confidence, perceived barriers to biking, and self-reported safety perceptions.
Surveys can be customized and deployed for specific project areas, neighborhoods, events, or school communities. They can be delivered digitally and alongside in-person outreach activities, improving response rates and enabling consistent documentation.
In addition to surveys, Love to Ride provides optional route perception tools that enable participants to share how safe or comfortable they feel on the routes they use. This lived-experience feedback is aggregated and visualized through both a public-facing ‘Biking Feedback Map’ and a professional ‘Rider Comfort & Safety Map’, helping contextualize participant experience while supporting robust program evaluation. The result is a clearer understanding of perceived conditions on the network, alongside traditional participation and behavior data.
These tools support ATP-aligned evaluation and documentation while providing actionable insight into how participants experience biking in the project area. 317

In no event, shall the total compensation paid CONSULTANT exceed the total compensation agreed to herein.
5. If, after notice of termination of this Agreement, as provided for in this article, it is determined for any reason that the CONSULTANT was not in default under the provisions of this article, then the rights and obligations of the parties shall be the same as if the Agreement was terminated without cause.
6. Termination of this Agreement shall not terminate any obligation to indemnify, to maintain and make available any records pertaining to the Agreement, to cooperate with any audit, to be subject to offset, or to make any reports of pretermination activities.

C. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, and to the fullest extent permitted by law, neither the CITY nor the CONSULTANT, their respective officers, directors, partners, employees, contractors or subconsultants shall be liable to the other or shall make any claim for any remote or speculative breach of contract damages that the breaching party could not have reasonably foreseen when entering into this Agreement.
To the extent this Agreement is considered a “Construction Contract” as defined by California Civil Code section 2783, CONSULTANT’s duty to indemnify CITY under this or any other provision of the Agreement shall not apply when to do so would be prohibited by California Civil Code section 2782.

Prior to commencing any work under this Agreement, CONSULTANT shall deliver to CITY insurance certificates confirming the existence of the insurance required by this Agreement, and including the applicable clauses referenced above. Within thirty (30) days of the execution date of this Agreement, CONSULTANT shall provide to CITY endorsements to the above-required policies, which add to these policies the applicable clauses referenced above. Said endorsements shall be signed by an authorized representative of the insurance company and shall include the signatory’s company affiliation and title. Should it be deemed necessary by CITY, it shall be CONSULTANT’s responsibility to see that CITY receives documentation acceptable to CITY which sustains that the individual signing said endorsements is indeed authorized to do so by the insurance company. CITY has the right to demand, and to receive within a reasonable time period, copies of any insurance policies required under this Agreement.
H. In addition to any other remedies CITY may have if CONSULTANT fails to provide or maintain any insurance policies or policy endorsements to the extent and within the time herein required, CITY may, at its sole option:

Agenda Item Wording:
Notice of completion - Request authorization to file a notice of completion for the Tulare Avenue major road rehabilitation project from Demaree to Cotta.
Agenda Date: 06/15/2026
Prepared by:
Jonathan Frausto, Associate Engineer, [email protected], 713-4369 Dolores Verduzco, Financial Analyst, [email protected], 713-4540 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 filing of a notice of completion for the Tulare Avenue major road rehabilitation project from Demaree to Cotta.
Summary:
This project included rehabilitating Tulare Avenue from Demaree to Cotta. This rehabilitation effort included grinding and asphalt overlaying streets, areas of street rehabilitation, traffic signal modifications, curb return upgrades, curb and gutter repairs, and multimodal enhancements.
Background Discussion:
Tulare Avenue was selected for resurfacing as part of the City of Visalia’s pavement management plan. The Tulare Avenue major road rehabilitation project was originally intended to be advertised for bid in October of 2022 after receiving authorization from Caltrans. Following the initial authorization, the project experienced a significant delay due to staff turnover. Furthermore, this delay was exacerbated by the Public Rights-of-Way Accessibility Guidelines (PROWAG) formerly adopting standards on September 7th, 2023, which required a redesign of each intersection identified for rehabilitation. This comprehensive redesign extended the timeline for final design, plan approvals, and bid advertisement.
Upon completion of the redesign and full compliance with the newly adopted standards the project was formerly advertised on February 27th, 2025, with a bid opening on April 8th, 2025. Shortly after the bid opening the lowest bidder was awarded the construction contract on April 21st, 2025.
The project was formerly issued a notice to proceed on June 16th, 2025, with an official start date of June 23rd, 2025, and end date of December 11th, 2025.
Due to project pauses, weather delays, and outreach coordination during the official project timeline, all construction ended in March of 2026.

Change Orders:
The final cost of the construction contract including change orders is $5,775,105.09. A total of 9 change orders were processed totaling $572,709.09. Below is the summary of the contract changes:
Category Cost Percentage
Errors & Omissions (E&O) $ 45,164.25 0.87%
Utility Conflict (UT) $ - 0.00%
Balance of Quantities (BQ) $ 27,648.65 0.53%
Unforeseen (UN) $ 167,178.36 3.21%
Change of Scope (CofS) $ 332,717.83 6.40%
Total: $ 572,709.09 11.01%
Change Order Breakdown To-Date
Errors & Omissions (E&O)
During the design phase of the Tulare Avenue project the traffic signal loops on Tulare Avenue at Demaree Street and Mooney Boulevard were not scheduled for reinstallation. These needed to be reinstalled, so the intersections remained functional.
Balance of Quantities (BQ)
Miscellaneous manholes, concrete, hot mix asphalt (HMA), and Class 2 aggregate base were adjusted from the bid schedule quantities.
Unforeseen (UN)
During the pavement rehabilitation portion of the project, the old county road and loose gravel base were encountered during the milling operation. This resulted in uneven roadway surfaces that were not suitable for pavement overlays. Due to this condition, staff worked with the City’s material testing firm, contractor, and internal staff to resolve this issue. A three-step process was initiated that consisted of an asphalt leveling course to smooth out the uneven roadway, a pavement stability mat, then the final asphalt lift on top to bring the roadway back to original grade.
Change of Scope (CofS)
During the design phase of the Tulare Avenue project multiple areas of curb and gutter were not included in the original bid schedule. Additional curb returns, curb and gutter, drive approaches were fixed with the project. These additional items were added to prevent pavement failure near failed curb and gutter.
Fiscal Impact:
The Tulare Avenue Major Road Rehabilitation is funded by the Surface Transportation Block Grant Program (STBGP), the Highway Infrastructure Program (HIP) through the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), the SB1 Road Maintenance Account and the Wastewater Fund (431). See below the project funding breakdown.

(Resolution required) Agenda Date: 06/15/2026
Prepared by:
Dolores Verduzco, Financial Analyst, [email protected], (559) 713-4540 Jonathan Frausto, Associate Engineer, [email protected], (559) 713-4369 Chris Crawford, City Engineer, [email protected], (559) 713-4331 Jason Huckleberry, Engineering & Building Director, [email protected], (559) 713-4495 Department Recommendation:
Staff recommends Council adopt Resolution No. 2026-43 to designate Fiscal Year 2025/26 Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) funding of $4,100,000 from the State of California Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 (Senate Bill 1) to the road projects as outlined within this report and appropriate SB1 RMRA funds as specified in the report.
Summary:
The Local Streets and Roads Funding Program requires a resolution identifying the project(s) that will be funded with the upcoming fiscal year estimated allotment of SB1 RMRA funds. In order to receive funding for the 2026/27 fiscal year, Council must adopt by resolution a list of projects intended to utilize the fiscal year 2026/27 SB1 RMRA funding and submit to the California Transportation (CTC) by July 1, 2026. Staff recommends the estimated fiscal year 2026/27 SB1 RMRA allotment of $4,100,000 be utilized towards the projects listed below.
1. Riggin Ave Road Rehabilitation from Demaree to Mooney
2. Center & Acequia Street Rehabilitation
Background Discussion:
In April 2017, the Governor signed Senate Bill (SB) 1, known as the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 to address basic road maintenance, rehabilitation, and critical safety needs in the state.
This bill established a new funding source for road repairs through revenue collected from per-gallon excise taxes on gasoline and diesel fuel, sales taxes on gasoline and diesel fuel, and vehicle registration fees. The Act provides inflationary adjustments to tax rates in future years.
SB1 emphasizes the importance of accountability and transparency in the delivery of California’s transportation programs. Therefore, cities and counties receiving the funding will be required to provide annual project information to the California Transportation Commission (CTC). This includes action by City Council at a regular public meeting to adopt a list of projects proposed to be funded with RMRA funds for each fiscal year. The project list must be submitted to the CTC by July 1st to Visalia City Council Page 1 of 6 Printed on 6/12/2026

File #: 25-0842 Agenda Date: 6/15/2026 Agenda #: 8.
with RMRA funds for each fiscal year. The project list must be submitted to the CTC by July 1st to receive and not delay the apportionment of RMRA funds for the upcoming fiscal year. The report for the anticipated use of funding shall include a description of the project including location, estimated project schedule and the estimated useful life of the project.
In addition, for each fiscal year in which the City spends RMRA funds, the City must submit a report to the CTC that details the RMRA funds expended to include a description and location of each completed project and/or in-progress project, the amount of funds expended on the project and the completion date. The CTC posts reported project information on the Commission’s website and through other reporting mechanisms that are accessible by the public. Staff recommends Council designate the fiscal year 2026/27 SB1 RMRA funding to the road rehabilitation projects listed below.
Project 1) Riggin Ave Road Rehabilitation from Demaree St to Mooney Blvd Project Description/Scope:
The purpose of this project is to rehabilitate the pavement surface on Riggin Avenue from Demaree Street to Mooney Boulevard. The methods of pavement rehabilitation may consist of overlays, grind and overlays, dig outs, and street reconstruction. In addition to rehabilitation work, the project will include limited repairs to curbs, gutters, sidewalks, drain inlets, and ramps. Impacted ramps will be upgraded to Public Rights-of-Way Access Guidelines (PROWAG) and existing manholes and valve boxes will be adjusted to grade. The project will also include traffic signal modifications at intersections throughout the corridor.
Project Budget:
Riggin Avenue from Demaree to Mooney Boulevard currently has a total design and construction estimate of $3,332,300. The current project budget is $1,600,000 from SB1 RMRA funds previously transferred from the Whitendale Road Rehabilitation from Mooney Blvd to Court St project.
Engineering staff, in coordination with the Public Works Department, evaluated currently funded road rehabilitation projects using the pavement management plan and other established criteria including traffic volumes, and maintenance history. The Riggin Ave Road Rehab project demonstrated a greater immediate need and overall benefit to the roadway network than the Whitendale Road Rehabilitation Project.
While this report does not specifically address the detailed design and construction cost breakdowns, understanding the overall project cost provides context for the current fiscal year RMRA allocations.
The table below summarizes the budget to date.

Project 2) Center & Acequia Street Rehabilitation
Project Description/Scope:
The purpose of this project is to rehabilitate the pavement surface on Center and Acequia Avenue from Willis to Santa Fe. Additional side streets are included such as Floral, Encina, Church, and Bridge Street. The methods of pavement rehabilitation may consist of overlays, grind and overlays, dig outs, and street reconstruction. In addition to rehabilitation work, the project will include limited repairs to curbs, gutters, sidewalks, drain inlets, and ramps. Impacted ramps will be upgraded to Public Rights-of-Way Access Guidelines (PROWAG) and existing manholes and valve boxes will be adjusted to grade. The project will also include traffic signal modifications at intersections throughout the corridors.
Project Budget:
Center and Acequia currently has a total design and construction estimate of approximately $7,854,300. While this report does not specifically address the detailed design and construction cost breakdowns, understanding the overall project cost provides context for the previous and current fiscal year RMRA allocations. Information regarding a total budget breakdown can be found in the staff report for the design award (25-0475), approved by City Council on December 2, 2025.

Department Recommendation: Staff recommends that City Council authorize the recordation of the final map for the River Run Ranch Phases 8, 9 & 10 subdivision located on the north side of East St. Johns Parkway between North McAuliff Street and North River Run Street (68 lots). Staff also recommends the adoption of Resolution No. 2026-30 initiating proceedings for the annexation to the Landscape and Lighting Assessment District No. 25-03 “River Run Ranch 6-10” and adopt Resolution No. 2026-31 ordering the improvements and levying the annual assessments for Assessment District No. 25-03 “River Run Ranch 6-10, and adopt Resolutions No. 2026-32 and No. 2026-33 for annexation into Open Space District 25-01 “River Run Ranch 6-10.” Summary:
The final map for the 68 lot River Run Ranch Phases 8, 9 &10 subdivision will be subdividing 17 acres into 68 lots for residential development. This is the final phase of the River Run Ranch 6-10 tentative map (TSM 5592). This final map is ready for recording. All bonds, cash payments, subdivision agreement, and final map have been submitted by the developer, Century Communities, and are in the possession of the City as follows: 1) An executed subdivision agreement; 2) faithful performance bond in the amount of $305,339.18 and labor and materials bond in the amount of $152,669.59; 3) cash payment of $616,744.33 distributed to various accounts to cover City fees; and 4) final map
The Landscape and Lighting Assessment District No. 25-03 was previously reviewed and approved as to form by the Landscape and Lighting District Committee including future annexations into the district. All new landscaping installed with this development will strictly adhere to the State Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance (MWELO).
Background Discussion:
The River Run Ranch subdivision subdivided 36.5 acres into 160 residential lots, along with 4 Visalia City Council Page 1 of 4 Printed on 6/12/2026

lettered out-lots designated for landscape and lighting district purposes. This map represents the remaining 3 phases for tentative subdivision map (TSM 5592) for River Run Ranch. Phases 8 through 10 will include 60-foot-wide public local streets, completed with full improvements such as curbs, gutters, parkway landscaping, sidewalks, and streetlights, as well as required underground infrastructure.
Primary access to the subdivision will be via St. Johns Parkway, a collector road. Frontage improvements along St. Johns Parkway were completed with the prior phase of this subdivision. The dedication for the future Tower Road street has been established by the applicant and city staff and is included on the map as an Irrevocable Offer of Dedication. Improvements along Tower Road (Road 148 alignment - name to be determined later) are deferred for future CIP projects. The developer has provided a cash-in-lieu payment of $305,504.33 to fund the future construction of developer responsible areas on Tower Road.
This final map is ready for recording. All bonds, cash payments, subdivision agreement, and final map have submitted by the developer, Century Communities, and are in the possession of the City as follows: 1) An executed subdivision improvement agreement; 2) faithful performance bond in the amount of $305,339.18; 3) Labor and Material bond in the amount of $152,669.59; 4) cash payment of $616,744.33 distributed to various accounts to cover City Fees and cash-in-lieu obligations associated with the development; 5)Final Map.
The faithful performance bond covers the cost of constructing the public improvements noted in the subdivision agreement and the labor and material bond covers the salaries and benefits as well as the materials supplied to install the required public improvements. As required by the subdivision ordinance, the faithful performance bond covers 100% of the cost of the public improvements. The labor and material bond is valued at 50% of the faithful performance bond. A maintenance bond valued at 10% of the cost of the public improvements will be required prior to recording the Notice of Completion. The maintenance bond is held for one year after the recording and acts as a warranty for the public improvements installed per the subdivision agreement. The cash payment covers Development Impact Fees such as storm water acquisition, waterways, sewer front foot fees, and any outstanding plan check and inspection fees. The plan check and inspection fees are estimated at the beginning of the final map process and are not confirmed until the subdivision agreement is finalized. Differences are due in cash at the time of City Council approval of the map.
The City of Visalia has been allowing the developers of subdivisions to form assessment districts under the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972, and now under Proposition 218, in lieu of using homeowners associations for the maintenance of common features such as landscaping, irrigation systems, streetlights, street trees, and local streets. The maintenance of these improvements is a special benefit to the development and enhances the land values to the individual property owners in the district.
The Landscape and Lighting Act allows for the use of summary proceedings when all the affected property owners have given their written consent to waive the requirement for a public hearing. The notice period is also waived. The owner of this development has given their written consent to waive the public hearing and form this district. The use of summary proceedings allows for the initiation of proceedings and the final annexation action of the assessment district to be acted upon together as separate resolutions.

Pursuant to Title 16 (Subdivisions) of the Visalia Municipal Code, the City’s authorization to record the final map is a ministerial action. Specifically, Section 16.24.080 limits the City Council’s action to the specific determination that the final map conforms substantially to the contents of the tentative map, Chapter 16, and the Subdivision Map Act, and provides in pertinent part that “if the Council determines that the map is in conformity with the requirements of this Chapter, the Council shall approve the map (emphasis added).” Disapproval based upon any other reasons would be outside the authority of the Council for this particular action. The Council may reject any and all offers of dedication in the final map pursuant to Section 16.24.080, and require that the City Engineer so indicate on the map, however staff’s recommendation is that the City Council authorize recordation of the final map and accept all offers of dedication as previously described in this report.
Open Space District
In 1988, City Council adopted an update to the original 1979 Northeast Area Specific Plan (NASP).
The specific plan lays the groundwork for required public improvements specific to the Northeast area and the maintenance thereof. The improvements consist of sidewalks/bike paths, center medians, frontage landscaping, and decorative block walls. Policies 5 & 6 and Goal 5 of the NASP speak to the issue of formation of maintenance districts and collection of fees for all development in the Northeast Plan area.
Open Space Districts are formed to incorporate the specific improvements into the NASP, and for the collection of fees for maintenance of the overall improvements. Unlike Landscape and Lighting Districts (L&LD), the improvements incorporated into the NASP are a benefit to the area as a whole and not just the individual subdivision development sites. A subdivision development project may also be subject to both Landscape and Lighting and Open Space Districts within the NASP, as is the case for River Run Ranch 6-10.
The NASP improvements that are maintained through the Open Space Districts include bike paths, frontage landscaping, decorative block walls, and any center medians installed with the subdivision.
In contrast, the L&LD will maintain improvements that are of benefit only to the subdivision itself. This includes new local street maintenance, streetlighting, landscape lots, and street trees within the development.
River Run Ranch is located within the Northeast District area and is conditioned to contribute to the maintenance of Northeast area improvements. This will be accomplished through the formation of an Open Space District 25-01. Since the improvements are meant to be for the enjoyment and enhancement of the NASP, every lot formed is levied the same amount of $44.28; collected with the assessment of property taxes by the County of Tulare. The Additional 68 lots created with this phase, will be annexed into Open Space District No. 25-01.
The owner(s) of all land within the boundaries of the proposed open space district have filed a petition with the City requesting that the additional units be annexed into Open Space District No. 25- 01 and have given their consent to be annexed into the existing district.
Fiscal Impact including annual maintenance and operating costs: The remaining 68 lots will start contributing to the landscape and lighting assessment district (L&LD 25-03) created for maintenance of common features related to this subdivision. The annual lot assessment will be $882.28 per lot.

Prior Council Action:
On June 10, 1987 Council authorized the use of landscape maintenance assessment districts per the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972 for maintaining common area features that are a special benefit and enhance subdivisions.
On March 17, 2025, Council authorized recordation of the final map for River Run Ranch 6 & 7.
Alternatives: None recommended.
Recommended Motion (and Alternative Motions if expected):
I move to authorize the recordation of the final map for the River Run Phases 8, 9 &10 subdivision; the adoption of Resolution No. 2026-30 initiating proceedings for the annexation to Assessment District No. 25-03 “River Run Ranch 6-10”; and the adoption of Resolution No. 2026-31 ordering the improvements and levying the annual assessments for Assessment District No. 25-03 “River Run Ranch 6-10.” Also move to approve the intention and annexation of Open Space District No. 25-01, “River Run Ranch 6-10”; Resolution No. 2026-32 and Resolution No. 2026-33 required.
