City of Fresno ***Subject to Mayoral Veto Page 11 June 8, 2017City Council Meeting Minutes - Draft Councilmember Baines stated he wants to correct the record from several people who gave misinformed public remarks, so we definitely want to clean that up first. I’ll do that by asking the City Attorney a couple of questions if I can. A lot of people talked about the Eaton Plaza Plan. City Attorney, do we have an adopted Eaton Plaza Master Plan? Supervising Deputy City Attorney Kolluri responded, so there is no formally adopted Eaton Plaza Master Plan. There was a document that came before Council that was essentially a conceptual plan. However, the proper procedure to have incorporated that into the Civic Center Master Plan would have been through a plan amendment to the Civic Center which should have been accompanied by CEQA and a Planning Commission meeting. None of those things happened. I did a search of resolutions and ordinances adopted by the council and there were no resolutions or ordinances adopted by the Council that amended the Civic Center Master Plan to adopt Eaton Plaza as a portion so my conclusion is that it was never formally adopted as an actual plan. Councilmember Baines said, so as a matter of fact, we do not have an adopted Eaton Plaza Master Plan? I wanted to get to that first so that everyone is clear. So there is no way to repeal a plan that doesn’t actually exist. That is the first thing I wanted to clarify. Councilmember Baines continued, secondly just because a lot of people came down here and talked about basketball courts. Does any action that we are doing today have to do with basketball courts? City Attorney Sloan responded no, not in any way whatsoever. I just wanted the council to be clear that this is not about basketball courts nor is it about repealing a plan that doesn’t actually exist. Councilmember Brandau made a motion to approve staff’s recommendation, but also omit the following language which is however drive throughs will utilize this exception must take auto access from the street on which said freeway is located with respect to drive throughs, in Section 15-2728-B-2 (a) (ii). Plus direct staff to return as soon as possible with a text amendment to eliminate all drive through restrictions within 1,000 feet of a freeway exit. Also include Councilmember Baines’ request to remove item 2 from GPA and rezone table. On motion of Councilmember Brandau, seconded by Councilmember Baines III, that the above Action Item be approved as amended. The motion carried by the following vote: City of Fresno ***Subject to Mayoral Veto Page 12 June 8, 2017City Council Meeting Minutes - Draft Aye:Olivier, Soria, Baines III, Brandau, Caprioglio and Chavez6 - No:Bredefeld1 - 4.

DYER, Chief of Police Police Department BY:ANDREW J. HALL, Deputy Chief Support & Special Services Divisions SUBJECT Actions pertaining to the 2017/2018 Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) grant 1.RESOLUTION -Authorizing the Chief of Police to accept $100,000 in grant funding for the 2017/2018 ABC grant awarded to the Fresno Police Department from the State of California Alcoholic Beverage Control 2.Authorize the Chief of Police to execute the agreement and all related documents applicable to the 2017/2018 ABC grant RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that Council authorize acceptance of $100,000 in grant funding from the ABC, allowing the Chief of Police to enter into and execute the agreement and all program required documents.Funds have been awarded for the 2017/2018 Alcoholic Beverage Control grant to the Fresno Police Department’s ABC Enforcement Program. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ABC has awarded $100,000 in grant funding to the Fresno Police Department to provide prevention, education,and enforcement of alcohol related enforcement issues.The grant period is from July 1, 2017 to June 30,2018.The funding will assist with the cost of the detective assigned to the grant, program related operations, and training. Funding has been incorporated into the FY 2018 budget. BACKGROUND With 1,074 premises licensed to serve or sell alcohol within the City of Fresno (536 off-sale and 538 on-sale),the Department realizes the importance of issues related to alcoholic beverage education, enforcement,and abuse prevention.The ABC Program’s goal is to increase alcohol awareness; educate officers,licensees and the community on laws involving alcohol sales,and to hold licensees accountable.This can be accomplished by:Roll Call Training Bulletins;educating Patrol Officers on City of Fresno Printed on 3/7/2023Page 1 of 2 powered by Legistar™ File #:ID17-865 Agenda Date:7/20/2017 Agenda #:1-A accountable.This can be accomplished by:Roll Call Training Bulletins;educating Patrol Officers on regulations for establishments that sell alcohol,and Student Resource Officers;providing education to the community,licensees and their employees;conducting IMPACT Inspections,DUI Educational Checkpoints, and other undercover operations (Decoy, Shoulder Tap, Drunk Decoy, Trap Door, etc.). Sales of alcoholic beverages to minors and furnishing alcoholic beverages to minors remain among the top alcohol-related concerns of the community and law enforcement.Undercover operations have shown that licensees continue to sell alcohol to minors and adults occasionally purchase alcoholic beverages for minors in violation of the law.These operations serve to identify violators, hold accountable and discourage others from selling to minors. Driving under the influence of alcohol also continues to be a major challenge for FPD.In 2016,there were 423 DUI collisions,91 DUI injury collisions,and 8 fatalities resulting from DUI collisions.FPD conducted 26 DUI Educational Checkpoints,and 27 Saturation Area Checks in 2016.A total of 1,598 individuals were arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol within the City of Fresno.In addition, we conducted 30 “Decisions for Life” Classes with 1,478 attendees. ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS This is not a “project” for the purposes of CEQA, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378. LOCAL PREFERENCE Local preference was not considered because accepting grant funds does not include a bid or award of a construction or service contract. FISCAL IMPACT There is no impact to the general fund and costs associated with the ABC grant along with the corresponding revenue have been incorporated into the FY 2018 budget.This funding will enable FPD to continue its efforts to prevent underage drinking and the sale of alcohol to minors through education and enforcement within the City of Fresno.

City of Fresno Printed on 3/7/2023Page 1 of 3 powered by Legistar™ File #:ID17-881 Agenda Date:7/20/2017 Agenda #:1-B BACKGROUND Veterans Boulevard,originally referred to as the Herndon-Grantland Diagonal,was part of the 1984 General Plan and is a planned six-lane super arterial in the 2035 General Plan.The interchange concept was refined in 1986 with a feasibility study conducted to analyze potential interchange/grade separation configurations.In 1991,a Project Initiation Document was completed,and in 1996,the Official Plan Line for Veterans Boulevard was adopted by the Council. In recent years,staff has completed the Project Study Report (PSR),Project Report and Environmental Impact Report (EIR).Veterans Boulevard and the proposed interchange with State Route 99 are identified as part of the Circulation Element in both the City and County General Plans.The new interchange will be a partial cloverleaf connecting State Route 99 and Veterans Boulevard.The new overcrossing will have three southbound lanes,a Class I bicycle lane/pedestrian trail on the west side of the structure and Class II bicycle lanes on both sides of the structure.The project will include two bridge structures,one to cross over State Route 99 and one to cross over the existing Union Pacific Railroad tracks,Golden State Boulevard,and the future high speed rail tracks. The City retained Kelly P.Stevens Real Property Analysts to appraise the property.Mr.Stevens worked under the direction of Lawrence D.Hopper,MAI.The City Attorney’s Office has reviewed the Agreement and approved as to form. ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS An initial study and EIR (SCH No.2010021054)was prepared for this project and adopted on June 7, 2013.This approval is to implement a portion the project.An analysis has been performed pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 to determine whether subsequent environmental review is required for this project.Based upon this analysis the following findings are made to support the determination that no subsequent environmental review is required: 1.No substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions to the EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects because the project is being implemented as planned. 2.No substantial changes occurred with respect to the circumstances under which the project was undertaken which will require major revisions to the EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects.The project will not have any significant effects not discussed in the EIR,and there are no mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible that are now feasible. 3.There is no new information,which was not known and could not have been known at the time of the EIR that was not discussed in the EIR. Based upon these findings,it has been determined that no further environmental documentation is required for this project.

Ward, Inc., for a fuel management system upgrade 1.RESOLUTION - Award a sole source purchase contract in the amount of $270,000 to E.J. Ward, Inc., of San Antonio, TX, for the purchase of a fuel management system hardware upgrade 2.***RESOLUTION - 2nd amendment to the Annual Appropriation Resolution (AAR) No. 2017- 165 appropriating $270,000 into the Department of Transportation budget (Requires 5 affirmative votes) RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends Council award a sole source purchase contract in the amount of $270,000 to E.J. Ward,Inc.,of San Antonio,TX,to upgrade the fuel management system hardware,replacing equipment that has reached the end of its economic and technological life and approve the 2nd amendment to the AAR No.2017-165 appropriating $270,000 into the Department of Transportation budget for the purchase of a fuel management system hardware upgrade. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The City utilizes a fuel management system to manage fuel transactions for approximately 2,000 pieces of equipment.The system authorizes and records approximately 150,000 transactions totaling 2,700,000 gallons ($5,500,000)per year.The City’s current fuel management terminal City of Fresno Printed on 3/7/2023Page 1 of 3 powered by Legistar™ File #:ID17-897 Agenda Date:7/20/2017 Agenda #:1-H totaling 2,700,000 gallons ($5,500,000)per year.The City’s current fuel management terminal hardware was purchased nearly 20 years ago and is at the end of its useful life.The system is beginning to experience terminal hardware failures due to the age of the equipment.Additionally, several advancements in technology have made the current hardware technologically obsolete.The hardware supplier,E.J.Ward,Inc.,has begun to phase out support of this legacy system.Purchase of new hardware with advanced technology will allow the Fleet Management Division to better track vehicle fuel transactions,mileage readings,and other telematics data.E.J.Ward,Inc.has developed upgraded hardware that will successfully interface with the City’s current system.E.J.Ward is the only supplier offering an upgrade with proven compatibility with the City’s existing vehicle modules. Use of another fuel management system supplier would require replacements of vehicle fuel modules in the City’s vehicle fleet. BACKGROUND Fuel costs are the Fleet Management Division’s largest expense,at roughly $4,500,000 per year. The system automatically authorizes 150,000 fueling transactions per year at nine sites throughout the city,and records critical data such as vehicle number,mileage/operating hours,transaction date/time and location.The system also tracks fuel tank inventory,records fuel receipts,notifies of fuel tank leaks/pump faults,prevents incorrect fuel type use,and minimizes theft.Lastly,data from the fuel is exported to the Fleet Management system to drive vehicle preventative maintenance schedules, analyze fuel costs, and reconcile fuel inventory. The current fuel management system provided by E.J.Ward,Inc.has been in use for nearly 20 years.The vendor has a proven track record for support of its product.The system has performed well in its intended function,but the fueling terminals are now at the end of their useful life.Terminal hardware failures are becoming more frequent and the system capability is far behind currently available technology.Because of this,the system does not offer the reliability or features needed by the City.Sales of the old system were phased out due to technological obsolescence and E.J.Ward is beginning to limit parts and technical support based on the system age.The division recently experienced failure of its application server and was required to upgrade application software because the supplier had phased out support for the 20-year-old version. Upgrade of the system with a modern fuel management system offers significantly improved functionality,including web-based reporting tools,ability to capture vehicle diagnostic data, acceptance of RFID card reader authorizations,wireless LAN data transfer,and passive GPS technology, all of which add value to the City. Staff is requesting Council approval of a sole-source procurement from E.J.Ward,Inc.After surveying fuel management system purveyors,staff has determined E.J.Ward is the only vendor able to upgrade the City’s fuel management system without replacing all vehicle fuel modules.Over the last 20 years the City has invested in fuel modules for approximately 2,000 vehicles.The E.J. Ward upgrade is guaranteed compatible with the City’s existing vehicle fuel modules and would eliminate the need to retrofit the entire fleet.If the City were to purchase another system,new vehicle fuel modules would be required for all City vehicles.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Department of Transportation (Department)seeks Council approval of the attached resolutions authorizing the City Manager designee to execute and file required certifications and assurances, project proposals,grant approval documents,and other documents required by the State of California on behalf of the City for programs with the California Office of Emergency Services (Cal City of Fresno Printed on 3/7/2023Page 1 of 3 powered by Legistar™ File #:ID17-912 Agenda Date:7/20/2017 Agenda #:1-I California on behalf of the City for programs with the California Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES),the California State Transportation Agency (CalSTA),or the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans).Approval of the attached resolutions would reduce delays in receiving state funds by authorizing the City Manager,Director of Transportation,or designee to execute and file annual grant documents each following fiscal year,provided the grant amounts and projects have been approved by Council in the annual budget resolution. BACKGROUND The Department will annually submit project proposals to the State of California for available funding of programs such as Proposition 1B,Low Carbon Transit Operations Program (LCTOP),Transit and Intercity Rail Capital Program (TIRCP),and future state programs.These anticipated revenues and corresponding appropriations will be included in the Department’s proposed budget each fiscal year, or the Department will return to Council to request the appropriations. In recent years,the Department has aggressively pursued new sources of revenue,including transit specific grant funds through the Federal Transit Administration (FTA);Congestion Mitigation Air Quality (CMAQ);San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District (SJVAPCD);and through the State of California.These funds provide for transit specific operating and capital expenditures.Program funds can often be anticipated in advance,and the revenues and appropriations will be included in the department proposed budget for Council approval each fiscal year. Proposition 1B,known as the Highway Safety,Traffic Reduction,Air Quality,and Port Security Bond Act of 2006,was established in 2006 (Chapter 25,Statutes of 2006)in order to fund mobility,safety, and air quality improvements. The LCTOP is one of several programs of the Transit,Affordable Housing,and Sustainable Communities Program established by the California Legislature in 2014 by Senate Bill 862.LCTOP was created to provide operating and capital assistance for transit agencies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve mobility, with a priority on serving disadvantaged communities. The TIRCP was created by Senate Bill (SB)862 (Chapter 36,Statutes of 2014)and modified by Senate Bill 9 (Chapter 710,Statutes of 2015)to provide grants from the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund to fund transformative capital improvements that will modernize California’s intercity,commuter, and urban rail systems,and bus and ferry transit systems to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases by reducing congestion and vehicle miles traveled throughout California.The goal of the TIRCP is to provide monies to fund transformative capital improvements that modernize California’s intercity rail, bus, and ferry and rail transit systems. In FY05,Council approved a similar resolution relating to annual federal funding through the FTA. This has reduced delays in submitting and executing grant documents to the FTA that occur on an ongoing basis.It is anticipated the State of California will require a resolution each year with regard to these various funds.The attached resolutions,along with Council’s annual approval of expenditure of grant funds during the annual budget process, will satisfy the state requirement. The attached resolutions have been reviewed by the City Attorney’s Office.The resolutions are consistent with transportation funding resolutions previously approved by Council,and authorize the City Manager,the Director of Transportation,or their designee to execute and file documents required by the State for funding from Cal OES,CalSTA,and Caltrans on behalf of the City ofCity of Fresno Printed on 3/7/2023Page 2 of 3 powered by Legistar™ File #:ID17-912 Agenda Date:7/20/2017 Agenda #:1-I required by the State for funding from Cal OES,CalSTA,and Caltrans on behalf of the City of Fresno, provided the grant amounts have been approved in the annual budget resolution. ENVIRONMENTAL FINDING This is not a “project” for the purpose of CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378. LOCAL PREFERENCE Local preference was not considered because this is not a bid or award of a contract.

Model 430F2 Backhoe Loader 2.***RESOLUTION -7th amendment to the Annual Appropriation Resolution (AAR)No.2017-165 appropriating $162,200 in the Fleet Replacement fund (Requires 5 affirmative votes) RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends Council approve a purchase contract in the amount of $162,165.54 to Quinn Company for the purchase of one Caterpillar Model 430F2 backhoe loader,and approve the 7th amendment to the AAR No.2017-165 appropriating $162,165.54 into the Department of Transportation budget for the purchase of one backhoe loader. This standard, approved purchase through another governmental entity is before Council as per the new oversight and transparency policy change which was implemented in December 2016. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Wastewater Management Division of the Department of Public Utilities wishes to purchase one Caterpillar, Inc., Model 430F2 backhoe loader for FY17. City of Fresno Printed on 3/7/2023Page 1 of 3 powered by Legistar™ File #:ID17-979 Agenda Date:7/20/2017 Agenda #:1-J The Wastewater Management Division would like to increase its capabilities to maintain, repair, and construct sewer lines throughout the city system. The new backhoe, along with a 15-yard dump truck, will enable the crew to dig deeper and remove more material allowing for larger scale repairs and construction projects to be completed efficiently. This investment will allow for better quality of repairs, rate of completion, and will enable future construction projects to be completed by the City rather than outside contractors. BACKGROUND The Wastewater Management Division is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the City’s sanitary sewer (collection)system.This includes customer service responses,video inspection, preventative maintenance cleaning,chemical root application,and repair the of wastewater collection system.Currently,there are over 1,500 miles of sewer main that range in size from 6 to 84 inches in diameter along with 15 sewer lift stations that service the city. Currently,the Wastewater Management Division has a repair crew that is outfitted with a Caterpillar 303CR Mini Excavator and Ford F-550 3-yard dump truck.This system of equipment limits the depth of sewer main repair to 6 feet and is not suited for new construction.The undersized dump truck limits the amount of contaminated soil the crew can haul off,requiring multiple trips per repair job. Depending on the depth and location of the repair,such as an alley or narrow street,the absence of a full-size dump truck could bring the job to a halt as there would be no suitable location to place the soils while work is being performed. With the addition of the new 15-yard dump truck currently on order,the Wastewater repair crew will not have the capacity needed to effectively operate and transport a full-size backhoe.Once the Caterpillar 430F2 backhoe loaded is placed into service,the crew’s depth will increase to 16 feet, allowing for larger repairs and new sewer main construction to be completed internally rather than by outside contractors. The purchase price per unit is $162,165.54. This price includes the NJPA discount applied to City purchases, as well as sales tax at 7.975 percent. The Purchasing Division has approved this contract and recommends Council approval. ENVIRONMENTAL FINDING By the definition provided in the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines Section 15378,the award of this contract does not qualify as a project;therefore,it is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act requirements. LOCAL PREFERENCE Local preference is not applicable because this is a purchase through another governmental entity. FISCAL IMPACT This agreement will not impact the General Fund.Appropriated funds were not expended in FY 17 and this action will re-appropriate the funds to FY18.

ESQUEDA, Director Department of Public Utilities THROUGH:MICHAEL CARBAJAL, Planning Manager Department of Public Utilities - Utilities Planning & Engineering BY:LITO G. BUCU, Supervising Engineering Technician Department of Public Utilities - Utilities Planning & Engineering SUBJECT Approve the First Amendment to the Professional Consultant Services Agreement with Provost and Pritchard Engineering Group,Inc.,in the amount of $65,946 for the design of well head treatment improvements at Pump Stations 117 and 284. (County Island within Council District 2) RECOMMENDATIONS Staff recommends that City Council approve the First Amendment to the Professional Consultant Services Agreement with Provost and Pritchard Engineering Group,Inc.,for the design of well head treatment improvements at Pump Stations 117 (PS 117)and 284 (PS 284),and authorize the Director of Public Utilities or designee to execute the amendment on behalf of the City of Fresno. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY PS 117 was removed from service because it exceeded the State’s drinking water standard Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL)for Tetrachloroethylene (PCE),a colorless liquid solvent widely used for dry cleaning of fabrics.Recent testing shows that PS 284 is expected to exceed the MCL for PCE in the near future.In June of 2016,a Consultant Agreement with Provost and Pritchard Engineering Group,Inc.was executed for the design of well head treatment improvements.During the schematic design phase,it was determined that low profile air strippers would be the most effective treatment option for PCE due to the presence of carbon-dioxide in the groundwater.An amendment to the Professional Consultant Services Agreement with Provost and Pritchard Engineering Group is needed to complete the design of well head treatment improvements at PS 117 and for PS 284. City of Fresno Printed on 3/7/2023Page 1 of 3 powered by Legistar™ File #:ID17-898 Agenda Date:7/20/2017 Agenda #:1-K BACKGROUND The Water Division maintains a network of more than 260 municipal water supply wells providing 88%of the City’s potable water.The proposed project will construct a common well head treatment facility at PS 117 to treat groundwater from both wells at PS 117 and PS 284.Due to limited space at PS 284,a raw water pipeline will also need to be installed from PS 284 to PS 117 for centralized treatment. On June 2016,in accordance with Fresno Municipal Code Chapter 4,Article 1,and Administrative Order 6-19,the Department of Public Utilities conducted a competitive process to select consultants for the design of well head treatment improvements at PS 117 and PS 284.Upon completion of the evaluation of qualifications submitted,and the scope and fee negotiation process,Provost and Pritchard Engineering Group,Inc.,was selected as best meeting the City’s needs for the program. With City Council’s approval,a consultant Agreement was executed.The Agreement’s intent was to design a granular activated carbon (GAC)treatment system but due to the detection of carbon dioxide in other wells in the vicinity of the project,the Water Division selected a low-profile air stripping treatment method.Air strippers can treat PCE contamination similar to GAC but also has the ability to address carbon dioxide.Plans and specifications for air strippers are more extensive than GAC vessels and the use of air strippers will require the addition of a building for aesthetic and noise mitigation. The First Amendment to the Professional Consultant Services Agreement with Provost and Pritchard Engineering Group has been approved as to form by the City Attorney’s Office.Upon approval by the City Council, the amendment will be executed by the Director of Public Utilities or designee. ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS By the definition provided in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)Guidelines Section 15378, the approval of the amendment does not qualify as a “project” for the purpose of CEQA. LOCAL PREFERENCE Local preference does not apply to this action because this is an amendment to an existing Agreement. FISCAL IMPACT The project,which is located in a County Island in the vicinity of Council District 2,will not have any impact to the General Fund.Funds for the engineering design of PS 117 and PS 284 are included in Water Division’s FY 2018 budget within the DBCP Recovery Fund (40110).The construction phase of PS 117 is funded in Water Division’s FY 2018 budget within the Enterprise Fund (40101)while construction of PS 284 will be funded in the future when and if the well exceeds the MCL for PCE. Construction of well head treatment facilities are included in the water rate model used to create the five-year utility rate plan and subsequently adopted by City Council on February 26,2015.No additional funding is required for this project.

Provost & Pritchard's original agreement, associated Scope of Services and fee for the Project, dated June 7th, 2016, explicitly assumed that granular activated carbon (GAC) would be the only treatment technology evaluated and designed. In November 2016 Provost & Pritchard was directed by the City to revise the previously submitted Draft Pumping Station 117 & 284 PCE Treatment Design Parameters Report to include a full evaluation of the air stripping treatment technology. The City has since directed Provost & Pritchard to proceed with Part 2 of the work (design development) based on use of air stripping treatment. This amendment request describes modifications to the Scope of Services and corresponding fee to modify the project from GAC treatment to air stripping treatment. Scope of Services The following revisions to the Scope of Services included as Exhibit A to the June 7th, 2016 agreement are proposed. These revisions are consistent with the air stripping project recommended in the revised Draft Pumping Station 117 & 284 PCE Treatment Design Parameters Report submitted to the City on February 5th, 2017. Revisions are highlighted with underlining and strikethrough. PART 1 SCHEMATIC DESIGN PHASE At the Direction of the City, the Design Parameters Report has been revised to incorporate an evaluation of shallow tray and diffused aeration air stripping technologies . The revised Design Parameters Report also includes a schematic site layout and building layout for a treatment plant incorporating one shallow tray treatment unit, one diffused aeration treatment unit. and space for the addition of a third treatment unit of either configuration . At the direction of the City, the cost of revising the report has been applied to Part 6 (Supplemental Services) of the original project budget. PART 2 DESIGN DEVELOPMENT PHASE A.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Department of Public Utilities,Wastewater Management Division,has recently completed the remodeling of a room that will function as a full data storage and recovery room.The electronic equipment and computers will not be usable if the existing water sprinkler fire suppression system is used. This project will install a new waterless inert gas fire suppression system. BACKGROUND The Fresno/Clovis Regional Wastewater Reclamation Facility (RWRF)is operated by a state of the City of Fresno Printed on 3/7/2023Page 1 of 3 powered by Legistar™ File #:ID17-903 Agenda Date:7/20/2017 Agenda #:1-L The Fresno/Clovis Regional Wastewater Reclamation Facility (RWRF)is operated by a state of the art computer control system.As with any large old wastewater facility the system to operate the RWRF must be highly customized to enable adaption both old and new treatment process equipment.Customization is accomplished by developing unique computer code.The customized computer control system is currently backed up daily.However,if there were to be major equipment malfunction,or a fire,new equipment would need to be purchased and then the software reinstalled before the facility could be operational again.By creating an inline data recovery room in a different onsite building the downtime associated with fire and equipment failure is completely eliminated. The data recovery room will also contain duplicate electronic files such as:plant operational data used for state reporting, PDF’s of as-built drawings, and other irreplaceable files. Five copies of the Request for Proposals were downloaded from bids online and one proposal was received and opened on May 9,2017.The proposal was evaluated to ensure;technical competence, prior team work completed,understanding the City’s performance requirements,related experience, record of performance on similar projects,ability to meet identified schedule,conformance to the proposal guidelines,ability to provide performance bond,references and Price.In person Interviews were not conducted because adequate information was obtained by phone discussion and email. The evaluation committee consisted of Utilities Planning &Engineering,Wastewater staff,a third party consultant, and a Purchasing staff member. The City Attorney has reviewed and approved as to form these contract documents. ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS Staff has performed a preliminary environmental assessment and has determined that this project falls within Categorical Exemption Class 1,pursuant to Section 15301(b)(Existing facilities).The purpose of the project is to install a new waterless inert gas fire suppression system at the RWRF. Furthermore,staff has determined that none of the exceptions to Categorical Exemptions set forth in the CEQA Guidelines, Section 15300.2 apply to this project. LOCAL PREFERENCE Local preference was not implemented because the sole proposer is a local business. FISCAL IMPACT Funds in the amount of $200,000 were included in the FY17 budget within the Sewer System Enterprise Fund (40501).This construction contract has no impact on the General Fund and is located in Council District 3.

The scope of work includes design and the construction necessary to permit and install a fully functional waterless fire suppression system for the data recovery room at the City of Fresno Department of Public Utilities Wastewater Management Division at the Regional Wastewater Reclamation Facility 5607 W. Jensen, Fresno 93706.. The RWRF is operated by a state of the art computer control system. As with any large old wastewater facility the system to operate the RWRF must be highly customized to enable adaption both old and new treatment process equipment. Customization is accomplished by developing unique computer code. The customized computer control system is currently backed up daily. However, if there were to be major equipment malfunction or a fire new equipment would need to be purchased and then the software reinstalled before the facility could be operational again. By creating an inline data recovery room in a different onsite building the downtime associated with fire and equipment failure is completely eliminated. The data recovery room will also contain duplicate electronic files such as: plant operational data used for state reporting, PDF’s of as-built drawings, and other irreplaceable files. The work consists of removing the existing “wet” fire protection system, installing the new waterless system, installing the necessary power connections, and modifying all necessary fire protection controls and annunciations. The intent of this project is to allow the Proposer to select the most reliable cost effective waterless system that will meet the Uniform Fire Code for a data recovery room. EVALUATION BY COMMITTEE: Five prospective proposals were downloaded from bids online and only one was received and opened on May 9, 2017. Evaluation of proposal was based on; technical competence, team work, understanding the City’s performance requirements, related experience, record of performance on similar projects, ability to meet identified schedule, conformance to the proposal guidelines, ability to provide performance bond, financial capability, references and Price. This proposer met requirements of the RFP and submitted a proposal with one exception for total net guaranteed max price proposal amount. This proposer conformed to all the RFP requirements, except the inclusion of an evacuation fan. The inclusion of an evacuation fan is not required by the Fire Code for the proposed type of suppression system. Therefore, the proposed exception is acceptable. The proposer is also a local vendor. A vendor presentation was determined to not be necessary because there was only one proposer whom submitted and met all the listed requirements. Their submitted references were Report from Evaluation Committee RFP No. 3541, Design-Build Waterless Fire Suppression at the RWRF c:\users\mayb\appdata\local\microsoft\windows\temporary internet files\content.outlook\1eklffu8\2017 29 june data recovery waterless firesuppression 3541committee report.doc verified. After careful consideration and evaluation of the proposal and reference verification the Evaluation Committee believes that Fire System Solutions of Fresno, California proposal is the best value for the City. Overall, the Committee believed Fire System Solutions understood the constraints and intent of the project and submitted a comprehensive proposal. This proposer best meets the criteria of the RFP. The engineers estimate for this contract was $178,000 and the single proposal was $187,500 or 5.3% over the estimate. Given the limited number of qualified local companies along with the City’s local preference it is not unreasonable to have only received one proposal. RECOMMENDATION The sole proposal is within 6% of the engineers estimate and that the proposer is a local company. The proposer meets all the proposal requirements and the references are acceptable. Therefore, the Committee recommends award of a contract to Fire System Solutions for $187,500.

ESQUEDA, Director Department of Public Utilities THROUGH:JERRY L. SCHUBER, SR., Assistant Director Department of Public Utilities - Solid Waste Management Division BY:ROSA LAU-STAGGS, Wastewater Manager-Environmental Services Department of Public Utilities - Wastewater Management Division SUBJECT Reject sole bid received for the Fresno Sanitary Landfill Phase 3 Groundwater Remedial Design/Remedial Action Operable Unit 2 (Bid File No. 3546) (Council District 3) RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the City Council reject sole bid received for the Fresno Sanitary Landfill Phase 3 Groundwater Remedial Design/Remedial Action Operable Unit 2. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Public Works Department is seeking to reject sole bid received for the Fresno Sanitary Landfill Phase 3 Groundwater Remedial Design/Remedial Action Operable Unit 2.The sole bid was 32.5% above Budget Allocation and it was deemed excessive after professional evaluation. BACKGROUND In June 1998,the City of Fresno entered into an agreement with the United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA)to conduct the final cleanup of the Fresno Sanitary Landfill (FSL).The 1996 US EPA Record of Decision (ROD)for the FSL stated that the objective of the Groundwater Remedial Action (RA)was to “restore the aquifer to beneficial use in a timely and cost-effective manner.”The aquifer impacted by historical operations of the FSL is considered restored when levels of contaminants present in groundwater comply with regulatory standards at or below maximum contaminant levels (MCLs)for volatile organic compounds.The Groundwater RA was planned for implementation in three phases,with objectives associated with each phase of remediation.Phase 3 is the final phase of the Groundwater RA and consists of installation and operation of additional City of Fresno Printed on 3/7/2023Page 1 of 2 powered by Legistar™ File #:ID17-904 Agenda Date:7/20/2017 Agenda #:1-M is the final phase of the Groundwater RA and consists of installation and operation of additional groundwater extraction and monitoring wells at the FSL to complete restoration of the aquifer to beneficial use. On April 17,2017,the FSL Phase 3 Groundwater Remedial Design/Remedial Action Operable Unit 2 went out for advertisement via Bids-On-Line.Ten Building Exchanges received notices inviting bids. There were 51 specifications distributed to prospective bidders. On May 16,2017,bids were opened and only one proposal was received for the amount of $2,362,090,which exceeded the engineer estimated amount of $1,782,945 or 32.5%.The budget allocation for this project is $1,800,000. Bids will expire on June 19, 2017. ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS For purpose of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA),the rejection of a bid is not a “project” under the CEQA Guidelines section 15378. LOCAL PREFERENCE Local preference was not considered because the rejection of all bids does not include a bid or award of a construction or services contract. FISCAL IMPACT The rejection of all bids will result in no financial impact to the Sewer Enterprise Fund or the General Fund Attachment: Evaluation of Bid Proposal for FSL Phase 3 - Bid File No. 3546 City of Fresno Printed on 3/7/2023Page 2 of 2 powered by Legistar™ City of Fresno Staff Report 2600 Fresno Street Fresno, CA 93721 www.fresno.gov File #:ID17-914 Agenda Date:7/20/2017 Agenda #:1-N REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL July 20, 2017 FROM:KEVIN R. MEIKLE, Director of Aviation Airports Department SUBJECT Approve a consultant services agreement with CSHQA,Inc.,to provide professional architectural and engineering consulting services for a new Terminal Concourse Passenger Boarding Bridge and rehabilitation of the Gate 6 &8 Hold Room at Fresno Yosemite International Airport in an amount not to exceed $110,017.79 (Council District 4) RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends Council authorize the Director of Aviation to execute a consultant agreement with CSHQA,Inc.,to provide design and related engineering services for a new Passenger Boarding Bridge (PBB)at Gate 8 and rehabilitation of the Gate 6 &8 Hold Room (Project)at Fresno Yosemite International Airport (FAT) in an amount not to exceed $110,017.79. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In response to the airlines ongoing transition to larger aircraft,the demand for direct PBB access to aircraft has grown.FAT utilizes PBB’s at the six passenger gates on the upper level and none on the lower level.The Project will provide a ground-level PBB at lower level Gate 8 and remodel the associated interior passenger boarding area, commonly referred to as a Hold Room. The PBB will provide a secure,weather protected,fully enclosed and air conditioned passenger boarding process,and will be able to accommodate up to 180-seat aircraft such as a Boeing 737 or Airbus A320.Modifications to the Hold Room will create an open and more efficient operating environment. BACKGROUND FAT can accommodate a range of aircraft size,both from PBB’s and via ground-loading,which is necessary at regional airports such as FAT.Once the Project is completed,FAT will still have ground City of Fresno Printed on 3/7/2023Page 1 of 2 powered by Legistar™ File #:ID17-914 Agenda Date:7/20/2017 Agenda #:1-N loading capabilities to accommodate smaller aircraft and off-schedule arrivals and departures. The new PBB will enable Gate 8 to be used by the full range of aircraft currently serving FAT while providing passengers and carriers with a level of service comparable to that experienced on other gates at FAT.In addition to providing a secure and convenient boarding process,PBB’s provide direct power to the aircraft, which eliminates the need to run onboard fuel-driven power. The elements involved with designing and specifying a PBB are of a specific technical nature and beyond the capabilities of staff to perform,thereby requiring the enlistment of a professional architectural and engineering firm specializing in airport work.Design criteria used are based on Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)guidance and aircraft manufacturer data,and include wing-tip clearances, push-back pathways, clear zones, staging of airline equipment and fuel trucks, etc. Through a competitive Request for Qualifications (RFQ)process the Department invited architectural firms that could provide comprehensive full-service planning,design,construction document preparation,bidding support and construction administration to submit Statements of Qualifications. The Department issued a public notice in The Business Journal,on the Airport Consultants Council website,and on the Airport’s website for qualified firms.The Department also direct mailed the RFQ to all local members of the American Institute of Architects and other interested firms.Three professional consulting firms responded to the RFQ and their qualifications were evaluated by a committee of six in accordance with the provisions of the RFQ and FAA regulations.The firms were rated based on the evaluations and all three firms were selected for future service.Of those three firms, it has been determined by the Department that CSHQA is most qualified to perform the Project. The agreement has been reviewed and approved as to form by the City Attorney’s office. ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS This is not a “project” pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378. LOCAL PREFERENCE Local preference is not applicable to this Project pursuant to Fresno Municipal Code 4-109(b). FISCAL IMPACT The Project is part of Airports ongoing commitment to ensure FAT is operationally ready and is properly positioned for local and regional growth.The Project is included in the Airports FY17 and FY18 budget. There is no impact to the General Fund from this action.

MEIKLE, Director of Aviation Airports Department SUBJECT Approval of a consulting services agreement with John C. Martin Associates, LLC, to conduct an Economic Impact Study for Fresno Yosemite International Airport in the amount of $82,000 (Council District 4) RECOMMENDATIONS Staff recommends that City Council authorize the Director of Aviation to execute a consulting services agreement (Agreement)with John C.Martin Associates,LLC,to conduct an Economic Impact Study for Fresno Yosemite International Airport (FAT) in the amount of $82,000. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Airports conduct economic impact studies on a regular basis,which provide information related to (i) the impact on the local economy,(ii)justification of investments in airport development and capital work,(iii)new or added air service routes,and,(iv)understanding the economic contribution of various activities such as domestic and international passengers,military,goods movement,and general aviation.The economic impact study will also help define the role of FAT as an economic development engine for the community and surrounding region. Airports are clusters of varied economic activities,such as scheduled air service,construction, aircraft maintenance,cargo operations,car rental,and retail.Therefore,they are increasingly recognized as key drivers of regional economic growth,both as local employment centers and as regional gateways to the world. As an employment center the California Airports Council reported in 2012,that 2,190 workers were employed at FAT.These positions range from entry level to those requiring complex skill sets. According to the same source,every job at a California commercial airport supports 2.3 off-site jobs. Applying the same ratio,FAT contributed an estimated 5,037 jobs to the region’s employment base at that time.As a regional gateway to the world,FAT provides convenient one-stop connectivity to and from over 300 destinations on five (5)continents.This study will enable the management of these and other performance measures so appropriate actions can be taken to optimize them and toCity of Fresno Printed on 3/7/2023Page 1 of 3 powered by Legistar™ File #:ID17-921 Agenda Date:7/20/2017 Agenda #:1-O and other performance measures so appropriate actions can be taken to optimize them and to respond to new opportunities. BACKGROUND Through a competitive Request for Qualifications (RFQ)process the Department invited financial and economic analysis consultancies that specialize in the economic impact of transportation entities to participate.The Department issued a public notice of the RFQ in The Business Journal,on the Airport Consultants Council and American Association of Airport Executives websites,and on the Airport’s website.Seven (7)professional consulting firms responded by submitting Statements of Qualifications,which were evaluated in accordance with the provisions of the RFQ.Of those firms,it has been determined by the Department that John C.Martin Associates,LLC,is most qualified to perform the Project. Martin Associates,LLC,is a transportation and economic consulting firm with a wide range of expertise in transportation and experience at airports both large and small.A sampling of airport clients include Oakland,San Jose,Sacramento,Portland and Sea-Tac -all having domestic and international service. The proposed approach to developing the economic impact study will be tailored to FAT’s market by conducting passenger surveys and interviewing airport stakeholders as a means to understand the scope and range of services available and what segments of the economy they serve.This methodology will result in: ·Classifying FAT into distinct economic sectors,such as airline service,construction,tourism, cargo, military, and non-aviation; ·Defining employers within each sector -for example employers in the airline service sector would include passenger airlines, general aviation, and Airports administration; ·Estimating the economic impact by sector. This hands-on approach enables the development of a model specific to FAT which can be used as input to support decision-making for such things as capital improvements/expansions,additional flights,new international service,service to new markets,the effect of increases or decreases in traffic, and for predicting the effect of investments in incentives and marketing. Martin Associates,LLC,provides the expertise and specialized resources to conduct the economic impact study that Airports does not possess.The agreement is for $67,000 and includes a $15,000 contingency for further breakdowns of economic sectors or a targeted analysis of a specific capacity project should additional study effort be required by the airport.The total compensation with contingency is an amount not to exceed $82,000.The City Attorney has reviewed and approved the Agreement as to form. ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS Local preference was not applied because no local businesses submitted qualifications.

MEIKLE, Director of Aviation Airports Department SUBJECT ***RESOLUTION -536th amendment to Master Fee Schedule (MFS)Resolution No.80-420 to apply a Consumer Price Index adjustment to Green Fees at Airways Golf Course (Council District 4) RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends Council approve Resolution adopting the 536th Amendment to the Master Fee Schedule Resolution to apply a routine contractual Consumer Price Index (“CPI”)adjustment to Airways Golf Course Green Fees,to become effective upon adoption,and allow staff to administratively apply CPI adjustment consistent with the City’s concession agreement with the operator of the Airways Golf Course. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Under the agreement between City of Fresno/Airports and Sierra Golf Management (Airways Golf Course operator)Green Fees are to be adjusted every odd year consistent with changes to the CPI, where such change amounts to an increase of $0.50 or more.The proposed amendment to the Master Fee Schedule (MFS)reflects these contractual adjustments for this year and would allow staff to administratively update fees for contractual CPI adjustments. BACKGROUND In accordance with the operating agreement between the City of Fresno and Airways Golf Course operator,Green Fees are to be raised every odd year when the CPI adjustment results in an increase at or above a minimum threshold of $0.50.Of the Green Fees covered by the agreement only one Green Fee -the Frequent Players Monthly Cards fee -meets this criterion this year.Accordingly,the amendment proposes to increase the Frequent Player Monthly Card fee from $81.00 to $81.50.All other Green Fees will remain unchanged.The amendment also proposes to make future Green Fee CPI updates administrative. Detail is available in the attached Resolution. Overall,the fee structure at Airways Golf Course remains competitive and below that of RiversideCity of Fresno Printed on 3/7/2023Page 1 of 2 powered by Legistar™ File #:ID17-922 Agenda Date:7/20/2017 Agenda #:1-P Overall,the fee structure at Airways Golf Course remains competitive and below that of Riverside Golf Course. The CPI adjustment is based on the prior calendar year as reported by the U.S.Bureau of Labor Statistics.The data is usually available the following April,at which time Airports calculates the adjustment and prepares the proposed MFS changes. ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS This is not a “project” for the purpose of CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378.

Nearly forty years ago, Private Industry Councils in the San Joaquin Valley met regularly to coordinate efforts and to secure training grants to serve the region. A decade before being designated as the San Joaquin Valley and Associated Counties Regional Planning Unit (“SJVAC RPU”), the boards formed the Central California Workforce Collaborative (CCWC), recognizing the value of working together for the benefit of businesses and workers across the vast expanse of California that locals simply call “the Central Valley.” The boards have initiated a planning process that will be on-going, recognizing that meaningful change does not just happen. It is the result of thoughtful planning, preparation and hard work. In a word, this Regional Plan is aspirational, setting forth goals and action steps to achieve real collaboration across local geographic boundaries and funding siloes. The boards and their workforce system partners view the Regional Plan not as a destination, but as a beginning – a launch pad for achieving a demand-driven service delivery system that harnesses the region’s human capital to build a world class workforce. Approach Given the time available between publication of planning guidance and the date by which Regional Plans must be submitted to the State, the local WDBs determined that support was needed for both the planning process and development of the Plan. Through a competitive process, Merced County, as designated lead of a joint regional collaboration, procured two independent consultants, John Chamberlin and David Shinder, for this purpose. The consultants immediately began to take advantage of the significant work on regional collaboration, sector initiatives, system alignment and related issues that has already been done in the Central Valley. In addition to reviewing abundant documentation on completed work, the consultants began a process of information gathering by meeting individually with each local board and key stakeholders. To gain the widest possible range of input, the consultants facilitated a series of regional planning forums where hundreds of stakeholders shared their thoughts on strategies and priorities for the workforce system. The Regional Plan, which incorporates eight Local Plans developed by each board, owes a debt of gratitude to the business, education, economic development, labor, community and other stakeholders that gave generously of their time in this process. Guiding Principles The plan is built upon five simple principles, which represent the values, vision and commitment of the Central Valley’s workforce stakeholders. They include: Support for The Goals of the State Plan: Workforce preparation and economic prosperity are inextricably linked. The State Plan requires approaches that provide opportunities for all Californians to develop in-demand skills, thereby ensuring that industry has the talent it needs to succeed. The Workforce System is Demand-Driven: Industry drives job demand and businesses define skills needed for jobs. It is the obligation of the workforce system to train candidates in these skills, preparing them for careers. Regional Sector Pathways Are the Best Approach to Meeting Demand: Structured, high-quality education, training and support programs offer the greatest likelihood of success for all those preparing for careers, The Workforce System Encompasses All Stakeholders: The system is not merely WIOA programs. Rather, it is comprised of the work, resources and unique capabilities of all organizations and individuals with a stake in building and maintaining a prosperous, competitive economy. Long Term Regional Collaboration: The Central Valley Has Been Very Effective For Many Years: CCWC is a manifestation of a partnership that has existed regionally in the Central Valley for decades. This collaboration 2 has led to many benefits throughout the Central Valley through the joint efforts of the eight WDBs. This collaboration, alignment and partnerships happen in a variety of ways. Sometimes these efforts will encompass the entire RPU. In other instances, they may involve only a couple of workforce areas or represent coordination across two or three funding streams. Regionalism exists where it can add value and where stakeholders agree to work across boundaries. A. The Region and Workforce System Stakeholders The San Joaquin Valley and Associated Counties Regional Planning Unit is comprised of the ten-county area described below. There are no plans to petition for “RPU” modification. I. RPU Boundaries: The boundaries of the RPU are those defined by the following ten California counties: Fresno, Inyo, Kern, Kings, Madera, Merced, Mono, San Joaquin, Stanislaus and Tulare. This area comprises approximately 40,760 square miles, roughly 25% of the State. The total population of the region is estimated at 4,079,609, making it more populous than 25 States.1. II. Regional Stakeholders in Workforce Development: Key workforce stakeholders in the region include local WDBs, education, economic development, public agencies, organized labor and community and non-profit organizations. Following is an overview of partners that contributed to the regional planning process. Local Workforce Development Board - Parties to the Plan: The parties to the Regional Plan are the eight Local WDBs within the RPU, which include 7 boards representing single counties (Fresno, Kings, Madera, Merced, San Joaquin, Stanislaus and Tulare) and 1 consortium board representing three counties (Kern, Inyo and Mono). Through their CCWC network, the WBDs have all been actively involved in the regional planning process by reviewing State guidance, selecting consultants to assist in the process, providing copious resource documents, organizing regional forums, and meeting regularly with the consultants as a group and individually to share insights, make decisions and set goals for regional coordination. As the designated lead for the RPU, this project has been managed by the Merced County WDB. Businesses: Through the WDBs’ intensive involvement in the regional planning process, private sector members of their boards have been apprised of key issues being addressed in the Regional Plan, thereby providing an opportunity for feedback. Businesses that participated directly in process through interaction with the regional planning consultants or analysts at Applied Development Economics, which provided labor market analysis for the plan, include the following: Adventist Health, ARC Dental, Ball Metal Food Containers, Black Oak Casino Resort, BW Implement Company, California Electric Supply, Clinica Sierra Vista, Conagra, Comcast, Delaware North, Doctors’ Medical Center (Tenet), EJ Gallo, Fast Credit Union, Grimmway Farms, Golden Empire Transit, Hydrite Chemical Co., HR Professional, Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Stores (corporate), Johasee Rebar, Kern Medical, Leprino Foods, Les Fong and Associates, Del Monte Foods Modesto, Mar Vista Resources, Memorial Medical Center, Mid-state Precast, Nestle, Pitman Family Farms, Silva Dental, Solecon Industrial, Sunsweet/Dryers, TSM Insurance Services, and Warren and Baerg Manufacturing. Education and Training Institutions and Providers: The education community, from the K-12 system to 4-year universities, was engaged actively in the planning process, largely through participation in the regional forums. The consultants also communicated one on one with leadership from the Community College Regional Consortium, various Community College Deputy Sector Navigators, and some of the leadership from the Adult Education Block Grant consortia in the region. Economic Development and Business-Serving Organizations: Individual discussions were held with economic development leaders from Kings, Madera, Merced and San Joaquin counties and with the Directors of the Fresno 1 Source: U.S. Census Bureau, 2010-2014 American Community Survey, 5-Year Estimates. 3 Business Council and the Office of Community and Economic Development at CSU Fresno. Other economic development and chamber of commerce representatives participated in the regional planning forums. Both Kings and San Joaquin counties combine their economic and workforce development staff within a single department. Public Agencies and Programs: Elected officials, managers, and staff representing Central Valley counties and cities participated in region planning discussions. Representatives from various county welfare agencies were active in the process, as were representatives from the State Department of Rehabilitation (DOR). Individual discussions took place between the consultants and state and regional leadership from DOR. Similar conversations were held with Deputy Division Chiefs from EDD and staff from the State Employment Training Panel. Organized Labor: Among the region’s union partners joining the planning process, including those directly involved with training and apprenticeships, were IBEW Local 684, UA Plumbing and Pipefitting Local 442, the Carpenters’ Training Committee of Northern California, IBEW Local 100/Fresno Area Electrical Training Center, Carpenters Local 1109, and Sheet Metal Workers Local 104. Community and Non-Profit Organizations: CBO contributions to the planning process were robust, as dozens of community partners engaged in dialogs with other regional stakeholders. Among the many organizations participating were: Friends Outside (Modesto), H.O.P.E. (Fresno), Mexican American Opportunity Foundation (Bakersfield), Proteus (several Central Valley counties), Puentes (Stockton), Reading and Beyond (Fresno), and the Stanislaus Family Justice Center. Additional information on the participation of regional partners in the planning process is provided in Section E. B. Analysis of Key Economic Conditions, In-Demand Sectors and the Workforce The overall content of this Regional Plan, along with the goals it establishes and the actions its sets in motion, are derived from an intensive review of data and analyses of economic and workforce conditions in the RPU. As indicated by the information that follows, the economy of the San Joaquin Valley defies easy definition. Its lies somewhere between one based on the historical foundations of the region as the nation’s “bread basket” and an emerging viewpoint that sees the Central Valley offering unique promise for an array of burgeoning sectors, given the region’s young, growing population and relative affordability for businesses and workers alike. With both its economic promise and notable challenges, the San Joaquin Valley, has been, as stakeholders remark without hesitation, “studied to death.” Hyperbole aside, there has indeed been a surprising abundance of research, study and planning concerning the economy, jobs, training and workforce preparedness in the region. Those taking on the task of transforming planning activities into a Regional Plan had to choose from many sources to provide a snapshot of the RPU’s economy, demand sectors and workforce conditions. The following materials proved most useful. Primary Economic Analysis Resources: Principal sources contributing to the economic and workforce analysis within this section include the following studies that address specific conditions within the RPU boundaries. Most, as noted, provide fairly current data, as they were published within the last six months. Regional Economic Sector and Skills Gap Analysis: CCWC Region, Applied Development Economics, Inc. (ADE), October 10, 2016: The eight local WDBs in the RPU, functioning collaboratively as the Central California Workforce Collaborative (CCWC), commissioned ADE, which had previously done analysis for the region, to prepare a report summarizing data concerning industry (providing NAICS references) and job growth and key labor force characteristics, along with information on the relationship of education and experience to projected jobs. Supplemental Information and Analysis, ADE Memorandum, December 5, 2016: As regional and local planning guidance had not yet been published by the State at the time the foregoing analysis was commissioned by the 4 CCWC, ADE management provided a memorandum that used information from the report to respond to the requirements for Regional Plans. Regional Planning Unit Summary: San Joaquin Valley and Associated Counties, California Employment Development Department, Labor Market Information Division (EDD LMID), September 1, 2016 – Revised: The information presented by this summary was critical to the region’s analysis, as it provides data aggregated to the region that corresponds precisely to regional planning requirements. Regional Economic Analysis Profile, EDD LMID, April 2015: The Profile provides excellent synopsis for the Central Valley’s top 10 industries by size – the number of workers employed in these sectors. Some of the sectors profiled are those that regional stakeholders have selected as targets for the Regional Plan. San Joaquin Valley Regional Industry Cluster Analysis and Action Plan, Applied Development Economics, September 2012: While this plan might be considered “out of date” given the date of its publication, it represents a decisive stage in economic and workforce development planning for the region. Under the leadership of ADE, which helmed the most recent economic and sector evaluation for the Central Valley, the report presents an analysis of the San Joaquin Valley economy and the San Joaquin Valley Regional Industry Cluster Action Plan, prepared on behalf of the California Partnership of the San Joaquin Valley out of CSU Fresno. The “Action Plan” identifies emerging opportunities for the region’s comparative advantage industry clusters within the context of global, national, state and regional drivers and conditions. Supplemental Economic Analysis Resources: As EDD LMID’s recent Economic Analysis Profile did not provide cluster descriptions or data for two of the region’s target sectors (advanced manufacturing or energy), the following served as resources for information on these industries or helped to fill in other gaps. California Manufacturing Jobs in Demand, July 2012: Given the fact that job loss has characterized manufacturing throughout the State for decades, data about opportunities for this rapidly changing sector is often harder to come by. This study provided useful information with regarding to where opportunities in the sector exist. California’s Green Economy: Summary of Survey Results, EDD LMID, October 2010 : In similar fashion to the manufacturing report, this publication helped to fill in the blanks about “green jobs,” particularly as they related to the energy sector. Labor Market Overview: Central Valley/Mother Lode Region, California Community Colleges’ Center of Excellence Mother Lode Region, May 2016: This succinct analysis provides information on population characteristics and employment in targeted industries and occupations. Because the community college regions do not mirror those of the workforce system, data from this study was used only as a point of comparison. Labor Market Intelligence from System Stakeholders: As described in the introduction to this Plan, discussions with business, economic development, education and other system stakeholders have been essential to formulating opinions about and strategies for the Workforce Development Plan in the Central Valley. Stakeholder experiences have provided a powerful lens through which to view and analyze opportunities to support the objectives of industry and workers alike. I. The Regional Economy: In its 2012 analysis, ADE indicates that the region has had a relatively slow recovery from the Great Recession. Before the recession, total jobs in the region peaked at 1,361,550 in 2007 and did not reach that level again until 2014. The annual average number of jobs for 2015 was estimated at 1,405,122. Through 2008, total jobs in the region were growing at a 1.4 annual percentage rate, while, since 2008, the number of jobs has grown at a much lower 0.5 percent per year. The analysists conclude that, at 1.4 percent a year, jobs in the SJVAC RPU are expected to grow modestly through 2025, although they project a number of sectors (construction, health, logistics, professional, scientific and technical services, administrative support, education, healthcare and food service) to exceed this overall annual growth rate. However, qualified workers are in short supply for certain key job categories and skill areas. ADE’s summary of overall job growth in the region indicates: 5 The regional unemployment rate declined to 9.9 percent in 2015, down from the peak of 16.5 percent in 2010, but still well above the low point of 7.9 percent in 2006. Before the recession, total jobs in the region peaked at 1,361,550 in 2007 and did not reach that level again until late 2014. Jobs have grown to 1,405,122 (annual average) in 2015. Healthcare is projected to see the highest growth in jobs between 2015 and 2025 (51,000 new jobs), followed by Retail (27,400 new jobs) and Food Service (18,000 new jobs). The SJVAC region is also expected to see relatively strong growth in Education (16,400 new jobs), and Professional, Scientific and Technical services (8,700 new jobs). The Logistics sector, including Wholesale, Warehousing and Transportation, is projected to grow by a combined 22,700 new jobs. Manufacturing is projected to increase by 7,000 jobs, but this trend masks considerable turbulence within the sector, with some industries growing while others decline. Wineries (NAICS 312230) are projected to grow by 1,400 new jobs and a number of other food processing industries are projected to grow by at least 500 new jobs each, such as roasted nuts and peanut butter (NAICS 311911), poultry processing (NAICS 311615), animal slaughtering (NAICS 311611), and cheese manufacturing (NAICS 311513). At the same time, dried and dehydrated food manufacturing (NAICS 311423) and fruit and vegetable canning (NAICS 311423) are expected to each decline by more than 600 jobs. Breakfast cereal manufacturing (NAICS 311230) and commercial bakeries (NAICS 311812) are expected to decline by approximately 300 jobs each. Construction has recovered more than 12,800 jobs over the past five years, but is projected to continue at less than half that rate of job growth, with 11,200 new jobs created between 2015 and 2025. Consistent with the above trends, the Health and Wellness industry cluster is projected to have the highest job growth over the next ten years. The Health and Wellness cluster is projected to add 51,000 jobs by 2025. About 26,700 (52 percent) of the new jobs will occur in the Health Care Delivery sub-cluster. Within this sub-cluster, the number of jobs in hospitals and HMO Centers is projected to increase by 8,500 new jobs. In contrast, services to elderly and disabled persons are projected to increase by 20,800 new jobs. The projections of job openings show a concentration in transportation and materials handling (4,900 annual openings), food services and retail (12,600 combined annual openings), office and admin support (5,900 annual openings) and farm occupations (6,300 annual openings). ADE’s analysis corresponds to input from key stakeholders throughout the planning process. A question that workforce, economic development, education and other stakeholders have grappled with during the planning process is how to formulate a systemic response to substantial growth in the retail and food service sectors. The Community College’s Deputy Sector Navigator responsible for these industries expressed opinions that many across the system echoed. Both food service and retail, while not directly within the career paths for middle skill jobs in targeted industries, do provide on-ramps for new workers, including youth, immigrants and those returning to work after overcoming employment-related barriers. The system’s approach to using employment in these lower wage sectors must include plans for leveraging work readiness and maturity gained through the jobs to transition workers to fields offering greater opportunities to earn family sustaining wages. Approaches will likely require training, both at education/training institutions and on-the-job. Based on ADE’s analysis and discussions with key employers, workforce organizations and training providers, the regional planning process identified specific occupations as potential priorities for additional training efforts, including Medical Technicians, Electricians and Maintenance Mechanics. The planning process also identified specific skills needed by business, such as the ability to use computer-operated processing controls and instruments, supervisory and management skills, business skills, and related English competency. Major Industry Sectors within the Region: EDD LMID’s recent data summary highlights regional economic growth by reporting on the industries with the most employment. 6 Major Industry Sector May 2016 (preliminary) May 2012 Change Percent LQ2 Total All Industries 1,514,200 1,368,720 145,480 10.6% - Total Farm 240,000 220,001 19,999 9.1% 5.6 Total Nonfarm 1,274,200 1,148,720 125,480 10.9% 0.9 Mining and Logging 9,930 13,451 -3,521 -26.2% 4.4 Construction 43,130 36,530 6,600 18.1% 0.6 Manufacturing 111,240 102,701 8,539 8.3% 1.0 Trade, Transportation and Utilities 268,450 235,200 33,250 14.1% 1.0 Information 11,840 11,660 180 1.5% 0.3 Financial Activities 42,940 42,540 400 0.9% 0.6 Professional and Business Services 110,120 101,620 8,500 8.4% 0.5 Educational and Health Services 205,460 181,400 24,060 13.3% 0.9 Leisure and Hospitality 126,430 106,960 19,470 18.2% 0.7 Other Services 38,790 35,700 3,090 8.7% 0.8 Government 287,380 266,760 20,620 7.7% 1.3 Notably, agriculture, construction, manufacturing, trade-transportation-utilities and educational and health services (sectors being targeted, as described below) all experienced growth over the 4-year period from May 2012 through May 2016. Target Sectors for Workforce Development: The RPU partners have selected the following sectors as priorities under the 2017 – 2020 Regional Workforce Development Plan: advanced manufacturing; construction (including public infrastructure); energy (including green energy); healthcare; transportation and logistics; and value-added agriculture. The decision to target these sectors, is based principally on the following factors: Each is showing substantial growth and/or post-recession resurgence in the Valley; To varying extents, the industries are being transformed by technology, requiring innovative strategies and approaches for training new workers and the current workforce; Engagement with businesses, business supporting agencies and economic development organizations all suggest that these sectors will benefit as the result of interventions by the workforce and education system. They were selected as targets through the extensive research and planning that culminated in the 2012 San Joaquin Valley Regional Industry Cluster Analysis and Action Plan. According to the Cluster Action Plan, emerging opportunities for these “comparative advantage” industry clusters are the foundation for innovation, competitiveness, and future well-being in the region. They support improved health, sustainability, energy self- sufficiency, and shared prosperity. EDD LMID’s Regional Economic Analysis Profile, provides clear and concise industry cluster descriptions3 for four of the RPU target sectors. These are summarized below: Agriculture (particularly, Value-Added Agriculture): The Agriculture, Food, and Beverage Processing industry cluster includes establishments primarily engaged in growing crops, raising animals, and manufacturing food and beverages, as well as support activities for crop and animal production. This cluster employed almost 269,000 people in 2014, almost 21.7 percent of the economic market’s workforce. Top industries in this cluster include: Support Activities for Crop Production; Fruit and Tree Nut Farming; Cattle Ranching and Farming; Other Food Manufacturing; and Beverage Manufacturing. Examples of in demand entry-level and middle skills jobs include agriculture and food 2 Location Quotient 3 Distinctions between EDD’s industry cluster titles and the sector titles used by the RPU are considered immaterial. 7 processing technicians, maintenance mechanics, quality control inspectors, farm machinery mechanics and bi-lingual supervisors. There is a very high degree of cross-over between value-added agriculture and advanced manufacturing. The RPU is focusing on the economic benefits of “value-added” agriculture. Defined as the transformation of agricultural products to a higher value for the end consumer, examples can be seen when carrots are processed into smaller, “baby” carrots, or used in the production of vegetable juice and when grapes are turned into wine. Construction (including Public Infrastructure): The Construction Materials and Services industry cluster is comprised of builders of mechanical systems such as electrical, heating, and water; specialty trades outfits such as drywall, flooring, and painting contractors; residential and commercial builders; and contractors who complete foundation and framing work. In 2014, this cluster was comprised of more than 55,000 workers, or 4.5 percent of the economic market’s employment. Expenditures on road, bridge, tunnel, pipeline and other public infrastructure construction in the Central Valley is expected to top $36 billion in the coming several years. Industries showing the highest projected job openings include: Building Equipment Contractors; Building Finishing Contractors; Foundation, Structure, and Building Exterior Contractors; Residential Building Construction; and Other Specialty Trade Contractors. Healthcare: The Health Care Services industry cluster includes acute care and outpatient hospitals, nursing homes and rehabilitation centers, adult day care centers, and community service agencies for the elderly. It employed nearly 134,000 people in the economic market 2014, accounting for 10.8 percent of the workforce. Industries in this cluster may include both public and private employment. Top industries within this cluster include: General Medical and Surgical Hospitals; Offices of Physicians; Nursing Care Facilities (Skilled Nursing Facilities); Continuing Care Retirement Communities and Assisted Living Facilities for the Elderly; and Outpatient Care Centers. In demand entry-level and middle skills jobs include: medical assistants, certified nursing assistants, licensed practical and vocational nurses, registered nurses, triage nurses, nurse practitioners, emergency medical technicians and paramedics, medical lab technicians, respiratory therapists, clinical technicians, health diagnosticians, a variety of medical support personnel and dental assistants, Transportation and Logistics: The Transportation and Logistics cluster is made up of interrelated industries such as refrigerated warehousing, self-storage facilities, freight transporting companies, and overnight delivery businesses. In 2013-2014,* over 50,000 workers were employed in this cluster, making up 4 percent of the economic market’s workforce population. Industries showing the highest projected job openings include: Warehousing and Storage; General Freight Trucking; Specialized Freight Trucking; Couriers and Express Delivery Services; Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment (except Automotive and Electronic); and Repair and Maintenance. In demand entry-level and middle skills jobs include truck drivers, mechanics, supply chain workers for “fulfillment” or on -line ordering businesses, fork lift operators, warehouse workers, bi-lingual supervisors and order takers/route planners. The following industry descriptions for the advanced manufacturing and energy sectors are based on information provided in the 2012 San Joaquin Valley Regional Industry Cluster Analysis and Action Plan. Advanced Manufacturing: Manufacturing is a lynchpin cluster in that it is a component of virtually all of the other regional clusters in addition to other “diversified” manufacturing companies . More than 70 percent of manufacturing jobs are associated with one of the five other target sectors. Most of this employment is in food processing and is part of the agriculture value chain. Manufacturing has generally lost employment during the past decade, although this loss occurred more slowly in the Central Valley than it did statewide. It is worth noting, though, that nearly 60 percent of the losses were in non-cluster related diversified manufacturing industries. In demand entry-level and middle skills jobs include entry level and skilled technicians, engineering and drafting specialists, maintenance mechanics, welders, supply chain managers, quality control specialists and bilingual frontline supervisors. Energy (including Green Energy): The San Joaquin Valley’s growing population and expanding economy will require increased supplies of reliable, diverse, clean energy, which is defined as “increasing the energy use efficiency of our 8 homes and businesses and other resources; and producing more electricity and fuel in the Valley from renewable energy resources such as solar, wind and biomass.” It is challenging to find both a consistent definition of the Energy Cluster “value chain” in terms of component groups of industries, and to identify the NAICS codes that comprise the cluster. This is in part because Energy is a rapidly evolving cluster and there are not yet specific NAICS codes for some of the industries, especially in the production of renewable energies. In some cases, such as the solar industry, activities cover many NAICS codes and are difficult to classify. In other cases, activities fall under categories that can involve non-energy-related functions. For example, installation of solar panels on roofs of buildings is classified under a NAICS code for roofing contractors, which is a more encompassing area than solar panel installation. The development of biofuels is sometimes categorized within the agriculture value chain. As a goal of this Regional Plan, the RPU partners will work with EDD LMID to develop a definition for the industry cluster and the jobs it encompasses. In demand entry-level and middle skills jobs include HVAC specialists and insulators, wind and solar farm technicians, energy conservation advisors, natural gas conversion specialists and mechanics specializing in converting and repairing vehicles and devices using alternative fuels. II. Skill Requirements for a Diverse Region: The in-depth stakeholder engagement process, which included both business representatives and individuals from organizations that serve businesses, pinpointed several key skill areas that companies require of their employees and job candidates. These include: Foundational skills: Basic literacy and numeracy skills are required in virtually every type of work. Education partners equate the typical minimum requirements of businesses for language and math skills to 8th grade proficiency. Core competency skills: Over and over again, businesses and those who provide training for their workers expressed that digital literacy is now a core competency. While the ways that technology manifests within a company and in relation to specific jobs are countless, a baseline understanding of computer/microprocessor operations is now essential for virtually all work. Many stakeholders, including businesses themselves, expressed similar thoughts about “customer service” skills, recognizing that strong customer relations, be they external or internal, affect productivity and profitability. Essential Skills: Punctuality, team work, customer responsiveness, critical thinking, and accepting supervision are among a long list of workplace behaviors, attitudes and knowledge that businesses require. Many businesses, for which specific licensure/certification is not a prerequisite, indicate that these “essential skills” alone can advance a job applicant to the hiring phase and suggest that no candidate be referred without workforce system representatives first verifying that he or she demonstrates competency in these areas. Job Specific Skills: As indicated various time throughout this Plan, each target industry has described skills needed for workers in a wide range of occupations. Industry engagement will continue to focus on translating skill requirements into training for each target sector. In most cases, this will involve updates to the technical content of curricula, especially as workplace skills are altered by technology and automation. In other cases, as technology and market place conditions create new job classifications or completely new skills requirements for existing classifications, new curricula will need to be developed. Regional Plan goals and action steps concerning the foregoing demand-driven skill areas are further described in section L. In its recent analysis of labor market data for the region, ADE reports that more than 51,200 average annual openings are projected between 2015 and 2025 (512,600 total openings), of which approximately 21,000 annual openings would be due to new job growth. 9 The minimum educational requirements listed by the Department of Labor for more than three-quarters of the openings do not exceed a high school diploma. However, nearly 4,000 openings per year require more than a high school diploma, though less than a four year BA degree. This includes about 700 openings that require specialized training beyond high school, though not necessarily a certificate or AA degree. Of these jobs, 572 are teaching assistants and 105 are computer support specialists. Nearly 1,400 annual openings are for jobs that do require a certificate in a specialized area of training. The largest occupational groups in this category include medical assistants (348 annual openings) and licensed practical and vocational nurses (308 openings per year). Other occupations requiring a certificate with 90-100 annual projected openings include dental assistants, emergency medical technician and paramedics, firefighters, supervisors of production and operating line workers, and heating, air conditioning and refrigeration mechanics. About 2,000 projected openings per year would require an AA degree. The largest occupational group in this category is nurse practitioners (560 annual openings), followed by registered nurses (430 annual openings) and preschool teachers (203 annual openings). Another 331 projected annual openings are in other medical occupations, such as clinical technicians, health diagnosing support personnel, and respiratory therapists. The remaining openings in this category include a wide range of technical specialties including engineering and drafting technicians, agriculture and food science technicians and radio and telecommunications equipment installers. While some of what ADE highlights is outside the focus of the region’s target sectors, it provides important insight with regard to skills for middle skill job and other occupations requiring less than a four year degree. III. The Regional Workforce: The workforce in the greater San Joaquin Valley region is, consistent with the demographics of the vast majority of California, ethnically and culturally diverse. The region’s vast agricultural footprint has, for more than 150 years, drawn immigrants from around the world to the Central Valley, where they have been quickly able to use their knowledge of farming and ranching, along with the hard labor that they know is required of the industry. Over the past several decades, as the industrial base of the region has expanded beyond agriculture and related sub-sectors, all of those with a stake in economic growth have worked to build a workforce that is as diverse in skills as it is in heritage. Labor Force Data: The following labor market profile information, providing employment and unemployment data, is excerpted from EDD LMID’s September 2016 LMID Summary4 for the ten county area comprising the SJVAC RPU5: May 2016 May 2015 Change Percent Labor Market 1,871,810 1,873,910 -2,100 -0.1% Employed 1,710,720 1,689,870 20,850 1.2% Unemployed 160,910 184,240 -23,330 -12.7% Unemployment Rate 8.6% 9.8% -1.2% - The Summary expresses labor force participation in the following terms: Labor Force Participation Population Percentage Employed or in Armed Forces 1,562,189 51.7% Unemployed 261,676 8.6% Not in labor force 1,196,002 39.6% Total 3,019,867 100.0% 4 For all tables under the “Labor Force Data” sub-heading, the source is U.S. Census Bureau, 2010-2014 American Community Survey, 5-Year Estimates. 5 Note: LMID advises that numbers may vary from table to table due to rounding and other factors. 10 Other key labor force and overall regional population characteristics in the summary include: native and foreign born; English learners; veteran status; disability status; and barriers to employment. The tables that follow present this data: Native and Foreign Born Population Percentage Native 3,192,815 78.3% Foreign Born 886,794 21.7% Total 4,079,609 100.0% English Learners Population Percentage Speaks English Less Than “Very Well” 711,447 19.0% Speaks English “Very Well” 916,870 24.5% Speaks Only English 2,117,332 56.5% Total 3,745,649 100.0% Veteran Status Population Percentage Male Veterans 179,774 93.2% Female Veterans 13,092 6.8% Total 192,866 100.0% Disability Status Population Percentage With Any Disability 482,044 12.1% No Disability 3,507,996 87.9% Total 3,990,040 100.0% Individuals with Barriers to Employment Total Ethnic Minorities 2,627,380 Households with Cash Public Assistance or Food Stamps 227,663 Population 18 and Over with Less Than a 9th Grade Level Education 383,224 Single Parent Households 299,397 Speak English Less Than “Very Well” 711,447 Youth Ages 10 to 24 977,226 While EDD LMID’s Summary stops short of analysis concerning labor force characteristics, it does make clear that there are a significant number of RPU residents with barriers to employment. These statistics suggest that the region’s workforce system must be responsive to challenges faced by workers and those seekingers to enter the workforce. Growth of key sectors of the Central Valley’s economy will require that large percentages of these individuals become skilled members of workforce. Strategies must include training and other workforce services specially designed to remediate barriers and enable entry to critical, in-demand career paths. In contrast to the LMID Summary, the October 2016 report by ADE analyzed the labor force, focusing on characteristics including race and ethnicity, gender, veteran status, disability status, citizenship, age, educational attainment and employment status. The report makes note of a number of significant factors and draws some conclusions, about labor force characteristics, the economy and employment. The following information is in largely excepted from ADE’s Report. Unemployment: Within the RPU, about 48 percent of the labor force is Latino, at 870,562 persons out of a labor force of 1,814,685. Thirty-eight percent is White. Unemployment for Latino workers 25 and older is 12.4 percent compared to 8.6 percent for Whites. Unemployment is 14.2 percent for workers in other racial and ethnic groups. Unemployment affects workers 25 and older with no college degree much more, at 13.2 percent, than those with a 11 college degree (6.1 percent). Veterans’ unemployment level is at 8.8 percent. Disabled workers have relatively high unemployment, at slightly over 22.0 percent. Age Demographics: The labor force in the RPU is fairly evenly concentrated among the age groups. Workers in the 16-24 age group are about 16.6 percent of the total, while nearly 25 percent are in the 25-34 age group. The prime working age group of 35-54 has 42 percent of the workforce. Workers over 55 constitute about 16.9 percent of the workforce and a number of employers report that impending retirements are a significant issue for them in terms of anticipated openings in the future. Underutilized Workforce: ADE examined the part-time and unemployed labor force in terms of how its educational attainment and prior occupational background matches projected annual job openings. The largest numbers of openings identified were in lower skilled occupations such as farming, food service, sales and administrative office occupations. However, significant numbers of openings were also projected in education, production, healthcare practitioners and personal care services, which are followed closely by management and healthcare positions. Comparing these categories to the availability of currently unemployed and part-time workers, there are substantial numbers of workers who would seemingly be available to fill these positions. This may suggest that these unemployed individuals and those working only part-time need training to help upgrade their skills. It might also be the case that they need other services to help them be available for full-time employment. Labor Market Trends: ADE’s 2016 analysis sheds light on labor market trends in the RPU. The authors report that, as expressed in the following table6, the San Joaquin Valley has defined a number of regional industry clusters that are significant components of the regional economic base. NAICS 2015 JOBS 2025 PROJECTED 2015-25 CHANGE 2015-25 ANNUAL GROWTH RATE Total 1,031,426 1,203,14475 171,718 1.6% Energy 47,762 53,517 5,755 1.1% Diversified Manufacturing 30,277 30,777 500 0.2% Health and Wellness 203,489 254,499 51,010 2.3% Agriculture 418,394 469,406 51,012 1.2% Water Flow Technology 9,934 11,480 1,546 1.5% Logistics 51,436 63,324 11,888 2.1% Retail 151,397 178,823 27,426 1.7% Accommodations and Food Services 106,314 125,619 19,305 1.7% Heavy Construction 12,423 15,699 3,276 2.4% Industry clusters represent traded sectors in the regional economy, which are typically the source of most of the income and wealth for the region, as well as the areas where innovation occurs most frequently. Agriculture and Healthcare are the two largest industry clusters. The Agriculture cluster includes not only farm production, but also food processing, related distribution and logistics, and a variety of agricultural services that include fertilizers, irrigation, soil testing, veterinary services, and marketing, among others. Within the broader Agricultural cluster, there continues to be a shift away from jobs employed directly at farms and increased reliance on farm labor contractors. In addition, a number of food processing industries are projected to increase employment, including poultry processing (NAICS 311615), animal slaughtering (NAICS 311611), meat processed from carcasses (NAICS 311612), wineries (NAICS 312130), corrugated and solid fiber box (NAICS 322211), perishable prepared foods (NAICS 311991), and wood containers and pallets (NAICS 321920). In 6 ADE Inc., San Joaquin Valley Regional Industry Cluster Analysis and Action Plan, prepared for the Office of Community and Economic Development, CSU Fresno, on behalf of the California Partnership for the San Joaquin Valley. September 2012 12 addition, the agriculture-related distribution (logistics) sector is projected to add about 3,900 jobs over the next ten years. The Health and Wellness cluster is projected to add 51,000 jobs by 2025. Of the 51,000 new jobs, almost 26,700 (52 percent) will occur in the Healthcare - Delivery sub-cluster. Within this sub-cluster, the number of jobs in hospitals is projected to increase by 5,400 new jobs, with another 4,200 new jobs projected for services to elderly and disabled persons. In addition to the 4,200 new service-related jobs in the Health Care - Delivery sub-cluster, there is another 20,800 new jobs in the Health Care – Other Services sub-cluster pertaining to services for the elderly and disabled (NAICS 624120). Some of the new jobs will occur in hospital settings but many will be in outpatient facilities and various types of nursing and residential care facilities. ADE’s analysis also identifies industries that are expected to decline. While food processing generally exhibits strong growth over the next ten years, there are several food processing industries within the Agriculture Cluster that are expected to decline, such as breakfast cereal manufacturing (NAICS 311230), fruit and vegetable canning (NAICS 311421), and dried and dehydrated food manufacturing (NAICS 311423). Labor force demand is not only affected by new jobs growth, but also by changes in the labor force. As the Baby Boomer generation ages out of the labor force, there will be an increased need for replacement workers. In addition, job turnover occurs for a number of other reasons. More than 51,200 average annual openings are projected between 2015 and 2025 (512,600 total openings), of which approximately 21,000 annual openings would be due to new job growth. Educational and Skill Levels: The LMID Summary provides the following data on the educational attainment levels of Central Valley residents: Educational Attainment Male Percentage Female Percentage Less than 9th grade 198,654 13.8% 184,570 12.8% 9th to 12th grade, no diploma 196,833 13.6% 153,414 10.6% High school graduate (includes equivalency) 394,997 27.4% 366,649 25.4% Some college, no degree 363,871 25.2% 397,218 27.6% Associate's degree 92,503 6.4% 118,626 8.2% Bachelor's degree 131,471 9.1% 154,746 10.7% Graduate or professional degree 65,809 4.6% 65,914 4.6% Total 1,444,138 100.0% 1,441,137 100.0% The fact that nearly one quarter of the region’s “job age” residents have not earned a high school diploma or its equivalent is troubling. Even opportunities for which a high school diploma is not required are more readily attainable when the candidate has this credential. As discussed in section D of this Plan, representatives of business, education and virtually every workforce stakeholder group agreed that a high school diploma is the “bedrock” credential for the majority of jobs in the Central Valley, particularly those offering upward career path potential. ADE’s October 2016 report provides substantive review of education attainment and its effect on workforce conditions. According to this analysis,7 Educational attainment in the region is slightly lower than the statewide averages, with 22 percent of workers 25 years and older not holding a high school diploma or equivalent, compared to 18.5 percent for the state as a whole. Statewide, 38.8 percent have a college degree, compared to 28.5 percent for the SJVAC region. However, in the Central Valley there is a stark contrast in the educational attainment levels of the 7 The following text is largely excerpted from ADE’s report; edited only for narrative flow and sequence of information within the context of topics to be addressed by the Regional Plan. 13 labor force when citizenship status is taken into account. Among US citizens in the workforce, only 12 percent do not have a high school diploma or GED and 33.7 percent have a college degree. However, it is important to recognize that many non-citizens have not had the same educational opportunities in their home countries and many have not achieved the equivalent of a high school diploma. 63 percent of the non-citizens 25 and over in the labor force have not obtained a high school diploma or a GED. Twenty percent of non-citizens in the labor force have earned a high school diploma or equivalent, which is five percentage points lower than the rate for citizens (i.e. 25.9 percent). This accounts, in part, for the differences in educational attainment between Latino workers and other workers in the labor force, as the non-citizen group is 87.1 percent Latino; slightly over 39 percent of all Latinos in the workforce have no high school diploma or GED. It is also important to note that Latinos have earned high school diplomas and GEDs at rates slightly surpassing Whites and Others, at 25.9 percent versus 24.5 percent (Whites) and 21.7 percent (Others). However, Whites and Others are over two times more likely than Latinos to have earned a college degree: 14.9 percent of the Latinos in the labor force have earned a college degree versus 40 percent for Whites and 41 percent for Others. Educational attainment also affects employment status. Persons with no high school diploma exhibit rates of unemployment that more than double unemployment levels for persons with a college degree, or 15.8 percent versus 6.1 percent. Of the persons with a college degree, almost 68 percent work full-time, resulting in a full-time employment rate that is 18 percentage points greater than the rate for persons without a high school diploma (i.e. 68.3 percent versus 50.0 percent). Veterans in the region tend to have high levels of overall educational attainment, with only 3.5 percent not achieving a high school diploma. For the workforce as a whole, 22.0 percent do not have a high school diploma or equivalent degree. Among workers with disabilities, however, nearly 26.5 percent do not have a high school diploma. IV. Workforce Development Activities within the Region: From the on-set of recent planning activities that have taken place to support the development of the Regional Workforce Plan, the partners have agreed that there are substantial resources within the RPU to provide workforce development and training. The challenge in moving the needle forward on the development of a more demand-focused system is marshaling these resources so that they become more nimble and able to quickly respond to labor market needs. Overall, the training assets of the region are abundant and, in the aggregate, are effective at meeting the demands of industry for a variety of skill sets. However, ample room for improvement exists in the following areas: Capacity to receive on-going input from industry on its changing needs and support from business in translating workplace skill needs into training content. Shortening the turn-around time from when business “sounds the alarm” to the start date of training in new and updated courses. Consistency of content from institution to institution and from area to area so that regional businesses can gain confidence that credentials resulting from training reflect agreed upon content. Greater collaboration with system stakeholders, particularly economic and workforce development, in the process of engaging industry in regional discussions of current and emerging skill requirements. Development of more on-ramps for individuals with barriers to employment to enter training that enables subsequent transition to career pathway programs eventually leading to middle-skill and other self-sustaining employment. Strategies to address these challenges are described throughout this Regional Plan and are summarized within section L, Regional Collaboration: Goals and Associated Action Steps. Scope and Capacity of Regional Workforce Development and Training Activities: The eight local WDB’s within the region all operate high-functioning workforce development systems that comply with and fulfill the objectives of WIOA. These systems include a regional network of American Job Centers of California (AJCCs) and youth/young 14 adult programs, some of which are linked directly to AJCCs, while others are stationed in other locations throughout the community. For many job seekers, these centers provide access to occupational, foundational, employment readiness and remedial skills training offered by a wide variety of providers, including the following. Community Colleges: There are 14 community colleges in and around the SJVAC RPU, which, to varying degrees, are key contributors to training Central Valley residents in skills for in-demand jobs in target sectors. Coordination between the local WDBs and the community colleges is facilitated and made more effective by the Central Valley/Mother Lode Regional Consortium (CRC), which represents community college’s career and technical education faculty, staff and programs in the region. The CRC supports regional economic growth by facilitating development and expansion of college training and educational programs to meet the needs of regional businesses and industries. Working with the CRC are the region’s Deputy Sector Navigators (DSNs), which serve as liaisons between local colleges and business. Within the region, DSNs represent the following sectors/areas of focus: Advanced Manufacturing; Health Workforce Initiative; Agriculture, Water and Environmental Technologies; Global Trade & Logistics; ICT/Digital Media; Retail, Hospitality, Tourism; and Small Business. The efforts of the DSNs, combined with those of deans and faculty, have resulted in the updating of courses reflecting the major demand industries in the Central Valley. Community colleges also provide foundational skills training in language and mathematics. Adult Education: Adult education programs tied to local school systems provide training in a number of areas, both academic and vocational. For students with barriers to employment, learning deficits and lack of a high school diploma, adult schools throughout the region are a critical resource. Adult Basic Education (ABE), which promotes development of literacy and numeracy skills required in the workplace, English-as-a-second language (ESL) and high school completion and equivalency programs are offered by the system. In addition, various adult schools offer career training, much of which is closely aligned to target industries and demand jobs, including welding, construction skills, entry-level healthcare occupations, warehousing, food service and culinary occupations. Private Vocational Training: According to the State Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education, there are more than 150 approved private training institutions in the San Joaquin Valley. While some institutions in this category have come under scrutiny within the last several years around fee structures and student outcomes, several private postsecondary schools in the Central Valley have proven track records in training job seekers for in-demand entry- level jobs, such as truck driver, medical assistance and technicians for various industries. These schools continue to occupy an important niche within the training community, as, based on their small size and flexible structures, they are often able to train students quickly and place completers into jobs with local businesses. Others: Other providers also comprise an important, albeit smaller, portion of the training community. These include 4-Year Institutions: The Central Valley is home to the University of California, Merced, along with three campuses of the California State University system: Bakersfield, Fresno and Stanislaus. In addition, several notable private universities, such as University of the Pacific, are located in the RPU. While these institutions are well known for awarding baccalaureate and advanced degrees, many of which are required for employment in the region’s key sectors, increasingly their “extended education” divisions are providing training and producing certificates that respond to industry demands for particular skills. Organized Labor: Unions representing the skilled trades offer a number of pre-apprenticeship and apprenticeship programs that can lead to employment with good wages and benefits. Constituent-Focused Training: Programs offered by organizations serving specialized target groups (including WIOA Section 167 and 168 programs serving farmworkers and Native Americans) offer a wide range of vocational programs for jobs ranging from solar panel installation to truck driving, welding and more. Community-Based Organizations: An extensive number of community-based agencies provide training and services to support employment. Many such organizations provide “essential skills” training, which emphasize work readiness, along with information on the behaviors, attitudes and work maturity expected by business. 15 Private Industry: Business itself is a major trainer of workers, mostly using its own resources. Increasingly, workforce development, education and economic development are developing new partnerships with private businesses to make training more responsive to the specialized skill needs of industries and companies. Initiatives include providing financial support for work-based learning and designing customized training programs on behalf of specific businesses. Addressing the Needs of Limited English Proficient Individuals: With the eight largest counties in the RPU all reporting a workforce that is at least 15 percent limited English proficient and 19% of workers throughout the region self-identifying as speaking English less than “very well,” there is a clear need to provide services to assist these individuals in increasing their prospects for success in the labor market. Stakeholders representing all workforce- related disciplines and every sub-region of the RPU shared insights on the need for services, where they are available and how service delivery can be improved to increase the work readiness of English language learners. With regard to need, while everyone agreed that it exists, the level of need for English language skills was a subject of some debate. After decades of immigration from Mexico and other parts of Latin America, Spanish has become the unofficial second language of the Central Valley. As such, workers can live their daily lives communicating in Spanish and are able to secure jobs where only the most minimal English skills are required. Although jobs requiring little or no English are generally low-paying, some stakeholders indicate that it is often difficult to persuade adult workers of the benefits of studying English to improve career opportunities and increase their earning potential. ESL training is available through a range of providers and programs. In rural communities, WIOA Section 167 grantees and their partners play a significant role in delivering English skills training though the National Farmworker Jobs Program. Providers for the region include Proteus, Central Valley Opportunity Center and Employers’ Training Resource, which offer some vocational services in tandem with ESL. By far, the region’s largest provider of ESL training is public education, with the Adult Education system at the forefront. Under the leadership of the AEBG consortia throughout the Central Valley and up and down the state, a number of unique practices have been developed by adult schools and community colleges that hold promise for increasing the English language fluency of workers in the region. Among these are: strategies that bring ESL into rural communities, sometimes on a non-credit basis, to make training more accessible; offering training during school hours and in the evening to parents of English language learners and immigrant students; and contextualizing ESL through a co-instruction process, where language teachers and vocational instructors split teaching time and provide English language training in a work- related context. Improving the capacity and results of the workforce system to build English skills for those with limited fluency is a priority of the regional partners. To this end, workforce and education leadership will convene a workgroup to develop strategies around the following challenges and issues: Communicating the value of English language skills acquisition in terms of employment opportunities Making services accessible in terms of location, schedule and instructional methods Broadcasting the availability of programs and services Linking language skills to work requirements Offering various on-ramps to beginning, intermediate and advanced English skills training Associated goals and action steps are summarized within section L of the Plan. C. Regional Sector Pathways The SJVAC RPU partners understand and believe in the value of regional sector pathway programs to transform the workforce system into one that is uniquely focused on meeting the skills needs of business, while at the same time preparing new and incumbent workers to gain the skills for in-demand jobs. Over the last several years, at the local level, the WDBs have indeed been focused on target sectors in their areas and a number of sector strategies and 16 initiatives have taken shape. Some of these involve support for hiring, some for training and some for both. A number of projects have included economic development and/or the community colleges in the process of designing and delivering services. Some have not. Simply put, within any local area, strategies do not necessarily adhere to a particular protocol with regard to identifying need or developing new training responses to that need. Neither is there a standardized process for the partners to come together with industry to assess the need for adjustments to existing programs. From area to local area, processes used for translating the workforce skills needs of industry into career pathways vary. Despite the lack of standard processes within and across local workforce areas, many very promising practices are emerging and industry-responsive services have been and continue to be developed. Some of this work is even being done on a regional level, signaling that the Central Valley is well positioned to develop and implement regional sector pathway programs as envisioned by the State Plan. In short, what remains to be done is transforming local and less uniform processes into more easily replicated ones based on best practices for the development of regional sector pathways. The partners will develop protocols for working with business to assess regional industry workforce needs and translate these needs into content for training and services to prepare candidates for jobs. The protocol will include strategies to effectively engage with business, economic development, and education in a regional sector pathway planning and development process. As stated above, the good news is that there are indeed sector-focused career pathway programs in the Central Valley, many of which were driven by specific requests from and input by industry. Some of these have the potential to be scaled up to other areas of the RPU. Again, the only things lacking are standard structures, processes and protocols, so that partners throughout the region can develop sector pathway programs that will be replicable in other locations. The partners’ description of regional sector pathways strategies in response to the planning guidance is largely forward thinking and aspirational, indicating where the system currently is in the process of planning and what plans have been devised thus far. In addition, the following responses highlight a number of local career pathway programs that are well positioned for further development and regional replication. I. Need for Regional Sector Pathway Programs For several years the local boards within the region have been intensively involved in the development of programs and strategies to respond to the growing demand from key sectors. In addition, significant regional planning began to coalesce in 2011, when the Office of Community and Economic Development (OCED) at CSU Fresno received an Economic Adjustment grant from the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Economic Development Administration to prepare a Central Valley-wide industry cluster analysis and a regional strategy: a Cluster Action Plan to catalyze the growth of priority clusters. The resulting San Joaquin Regional Industry Cluster Analysis and Action (described in Section B) set in motion numerous actions that would give shape to sector strategies throughout the Central Valley. One important outgrowth of the Action Plan was the establishment of the Regional Industry Clusters Initiative (RICI). The goal of the project is to support improved regional economic performance, sustainability, and shared opportunity for Central Valley residents, businesses and communities. RICI got its official start in February 2013, with team members engaging champions for five identified clusters: agriculture, clean energy, health, manufacturing, and water technology. For each of these clusters, industry partners have been identified and advisory committees have been organized. While RICI has not yet focused on two of the region’s priority sectors (construction and transportation/logistics), it has the potential to function as a resource for reaching out to and even convening industry on behalf of the workforce system. Initiating the Regional Sector Pathway Discussion Industry and Stakeholders: During the planning process that preceded the development of this Regional Plan, industry was engaged in discussions (principally through the regional forums) of its workforce needs. The dates and times of these sessions are included as attachments to the Regional Plan. However, these sessions did not drill down to the content level in such a way as to render feedback usable for development of sector pathway programs. That will require the more in-depth process described below. 17 More Intensive Industry-Led Planning on Regional Sector Pathways: As described in Section D, which follows, the partners plan to organize a series of meetings with key industry leaders regarding industry-valued credentials. These same convenings can be used to review existing career pathway programs to determine opportunities to upscale them throughout the region. The RICI committees as well as the local and regional Economic Development organizations may serve as resources for organizing these meetings. Intensive engagement sessions with industry leaders in all six sectors will be used to: Review credentials in terms of value (described in Section D) Discuss industry needs for skills in various classifications, including middle skills jobs and entry-level employment that provides a path to these jobs Identify new classifications or skills sets for which training is needed and provide direction on content requirements Review new and existing career pathway programs (including the one’s under Item III, below), which have been developed throughout the region, and provide input on the relevance of content and what changes are necessary to reflect current skill needs of business Determine the frequency with which regional sector pathway program content should be reviewed to ensure it remains relevant II. How Existing Programs Work to Meet Industry Needs: The aforementioned process for initiating more intensive and on-going industry engagement reflects processes currently being piloted under a state-funded SlingShot initiative serving the entire region. The project is focused on several of the SJVAC priority sectors, including: advanced manufacturing, construction, water technology, industrial agriculture, and transportation/logistics. Partners (including community colleges, campuses of the California State University system, the WDBs, organized labor, and business) are working to streamline training curriculum, while ensuring that it meets the skill requirements of industry. Under the project, SlingShot partners are working on: Analyzing existing curriculum through the “eyes of businesses” Organizing “stackable” credentials Standardizing assessment(s) and training Aligning existing training resources to meet industry sector needs. Creating new apprenticeships Replicating “best practices” The Community College SlingShot consortium has begun to lay the groundwork to establish policies and practices for Prior Learning Assessments and Competency-Based Education in an effort to expedite the rate at which students complete programs and obtain certificates and/or degrees, and eventually enter into the workforce. III. Promising Practices within the Region: Demand-driven, career pathway programs have been developed throughout the region. The majority of these operate within one or two workforce areas, with some taking place across large portions of the RPU. While, as indicated, there has been various levels of industry engagement on these programs, all reflect skill needs expressed by business. Under the planned industry engagement protocol, these programs will be presented for further review to determine if they remain up to date and suitable as regional pathway programs. Advanced Manufacturing: Several Central Valley manufacturers including JBT Food Tech, the Ardagh Group and Constellation Brands requested that an accelerated welding/blue print reading training program be established. The Madera County WDB, in conjunction with the Merced Community College Center, Reedley College and Fresno City College developed an accredited, year-long career pathway program which will complete its first cycle in the summer of 2017. The program includes on site apprenticeships at JBT and Ardagh. Construction (including Public Infrastructure): In connection with this sector, various career pathway programs have been implemented on a regional basis. These include: 18 Multicraft Construction Training: Under a grant funded by the California Workforce Investment Board and Central Valley Infrastructure Employment Project (CVIEP), this program was implemented to fill critical workforce skills gaps by creating opportunities for job seekers to earn industry-valued credentials and enter into an apprenticeship or direct employment in the energy efficiency or construction sector. Merced WDB has conducted a total of five multi-craft pre- apprenticeship training modules that have taken place in Modesto: two jointly with the Stanislaus WDB, one in partnership with the San Joaquin Valley WDB and two independently. Trainings have also been carried out in other regions of the Central Valley RPU. As candidates graduate, many have been scouted by several solar field businesses; one of which is preparing to construct the largest such field in the Central Valley. The Pre-Apprenticeship Training Programs in the Crafts trades is coordinated through the Fresno WDB and extends throughout the Central Valley. The curricula includes a six week program of exposure to the varying Craft Trades, industry-recognized OSHA-10 and First Aid/CPR certification, work maturity skills and physical training. Successful completers are allowed to bypass early screening processes when applying for acceptance into the trade unions. Building Inspector Technology (BIT): The Deputy County Building Official in the Merced County Public Works Building Division communicated to representatives of the Merced County WDB and Merced College that there is need for more trained building inspectors. The final result of that initial conversation is a new program to prepare candidates for the State of California Residential Building Code Certification Exam, which enables individuals to qualify for entry-level jobs. A Certified Inspector has opportunities with the local and State government, private consulting firms and business, as well as, real estate firms and can also work in inspection testing labs and as an entry-level Permit Counter Technician and Plan Checker. The median annual wage for construction and building inspectors was $57,340 in May 2015 and $27.57 per hour. Employment of construction and building inspectors is projected to grow 8 percent from 2014 to 2024, about as fast as the average for all occupations. (US Bureau of Labor Statistics) Energy/Green Energy: While high speed rail, solar and wind energy are all hot topics related to energy, the majority of jobs available at present exist within the construction arena. More outreach to and engagement with energy sector leaders will precede planning and development of regional sector pathway programs. Healthcare: Merced County WDB offers the following examples of demand-driven sector pathway programs: Health Coaches: Under an Accelerator 2.0 Grant received from the State, more than a year was invested in developing this project. The WDB was approached by the Livingston Community Health Services seeking resources to train Medical Assistants (MAs) to become Health Coaches to respond to emerging needs in the growing health sector. A similar project had taken place in Southern California and successful replication seemed achievable. This training is an excellent example of a “stackable credentials,” building on workers’ knowledge and qualifying them for higher-skilled and higher-paying jobs. The Merced County Health Coaching and Behavioral Health Career Ladder Project – Medical Assistant to LVN: Under the new Accelerator 4.0 Grant received from the State, this project is a joint effort among the WDB, the Livingston Community Health Services, Merced County Department of Mental Health, and UC-Davis Betty Moore School of Nursing Training. This project aims to create an upward career path for Medical Assistants and also to train LVNs on how to supervise and better incorporate Health Coaches into their teams. Transportation and Logistics: The San Joaquin County WDB has been at the forefront of developing career pathway programs in the transportation and logistics sector, working closely with large businesses in the county. Existing programs include: 19 Caterpillar Maintenance Mechanic Program at San Joaquin Delta College: The Caterpillar Maintenance Mechanic Program at San Joaquin Delta College is a public/private regional collaborative training program. Training is provided at San Joaquin Delta College and students are referred by employers throughout the Central Valley. These employers provide the operating vehicles to facilitate the training and the hands-on experience. Additionally, students go through an apprenticeship program, spending time both in the field and in the classroom. Electric Vehicle Repair and Maintenance - Regional Transportation Center: This program has been developed through a partnership among the San Joaquin Regional Transit District, San Joaquin Delta College, the San Joaquin County WDB and the State Department of Industrial Relations. The Regional Transportation Center will soon become an on-site training facility. San Joaquin Delta College will be conducting the training at the Regional Transportation Center using the state-of-the-art equipment, tools and hybrid and electric vehicles (uses). The site will be a centralized training hub for Northern Transportation Districts and organizations that will refer students and participate in an apprenticeship program currently under development by the State Department of Industrial Relations. The Regional Transportation Center will refer its own job candidates and employees for training. San Joaquin Delta College, the WDB, various transit facilities from the Central Valley and the Bay Area will also refer students. IV. Support for Existing and Planned Sector Pathway Programs: While the structured regional industry engagement process described above is in its early stages, much work is currently being done by local WDBs and sub-regional groups made up of the WDBs, the community colleges, business, economic development and other partners. This includes activity on the regional SlingShot program. D. Industry-Valued Credentials The regional planning guidance requests information about the status of industry-valued and recognized credentials, along with a description of the processes that were used by industry to determine their value. This topic is at the forefront of the Central Valley’s regional workforce planning discussions. Industry is being engaged by system partners around this issue, business has begun to provide input and, based on what has been expressed to date, content of various programs and courses is being examined. However, as is the case with regional sector pathway program themselves, the process for industry’s leading discussions about credentials has not been standardized in terms of protocol, including processes for review, ranking and results. And, like processes for developing pathway programs, current processes for determining credentials’ value vary from one place to the next and based on who is convening business and stakeholders around the discussion. The importance of determining industry-valued and recognized credentials has become understood by many business and industry leaders and system stakeholders. Discussions on this topic have begun and the issue has been a central topic during the process leading to the development of the Regional Plan. Still, much work remains. While credentials are being earned and individuals with these credentials are being hired in the fields for which they trained, the value of credentials in decisions to hire is not abundantly clear. The information that follows describes how the regional partners are coalescing around this topic, what information from industry and stakeholders has been gathered to date, what plans have been developed for moving forward on determining credentials’ value and keeping them current and ensuring their attainment for career candidates and incumbent workers. This is, without doubt, the most aspirational component of the Regional Plan, but one to which the stakeholders are deeply committed. I. Putting Credentials into Context: As the planning process was initiated, the consultants, local boards and partners relied extensively on the State Plan and state-issued planning guidance to shape the information gathering process. Given the importance being place on industry-valued and recognized credentials, it was decided that the issue would be included as a topic for the regional planning forums, as well as one for individual discussion with businesses. The information that follows summarizes initial discussions. Initiating the Credential Discussion with Industry and Stakeholders: Three forums were held on this topic: in Madera, Modesto and Visalia. The sessions were attended by representatives of business (including those 20 representing target industries), economic development, chambers of commerce and individuals from system partners (e.g. education, workforce development) that deal directly with business. The purpose of these sessions was to gather information on industry-valued credentials that currently exist, with the goal of using information as a starting point for subsequent industry-led discussions on how to establish credentials where industry insight is “baked” into the process. While the consultants served as facilitators, every attempt was made for business representatives to lead the discussions. The sessions were enlightening and highlighted the substantial work ahead with regard to the need for deep industry engagement on training content and the basis for awarding credentials. Key input included: Credentials are essential for some jobs. In some cases, industry not only values and recognizes credentials, it absolutely requires it. Barbers must be licensed. Truck drivers must be licensed. RNs must have an Associate’s Degree or higher and pass the state registry exam. In fact, business leaders and others identified many occupations (including many “professional” jobs) that require a specific degree, license or certification. Credentials are optional in many cases: For other jobs, many indicated that certificates may be required, but they were not universally valued due to inconsistency in performance among workers who held them. Stakeholders commented that inconsistent course content, instructor knowledge and other factors deflate the value of certificates for some businesses. Many agreed that a certificate does not universally equate to skills and competency and that many skilled and competent workers and job candidates do not have certificates. More Intensive Industry-Led Planning on Post-Secondary Credentials is Needed: The foregoing observations made clear the need for the regional partners (particularly workforce, education and economic development) to implement a structured process for engagement with business on credentialing, which will also serve as a means to discuss key content issues for regional sector pathway programs. The local WDBs will: Convene an industry steering committee for each of the region’s six target sectors to discuss work -related credentials. The committees will include a diverse cross section of businesses in terms of company size, location in the region and niches within the industry. Committees may meet on multiple occasions. The committees will: Review and recommend metrics for determining the value of credentials. Review existing credentials awarded in the region that pertain to their sector and determine their value Identify credentials that would be desirable for the industry Develop a process for re-confirming the value of credentials over time Provide recommendations on course content for regional sector pathway programs and other training that will produce the credentials. These are enumerated as Regional Plan goals under Section L. Updates to the Regional Plan will include information on industry-valued credentials that result from this engagement process. II. Existing Industry-Valued and Recognized Postsecondary Credentials and Maintaining their Relevance for Businesses in Key Sectors: As indicated, the partners have not reached a point in the planning process where any specific credential is being officially deemed “industry-valued and recognized.” Presumably, required licenses and degrees will make their way onto this list, but the partners will complete the planned industry engagement meetings described above prior to identifying the list of credentials. III. Determining the Value of Credentials to Industry: The process that will be used to determine the value that industry places on credentials is described, under Item I, above. IV. Principal Providers of Credentials with the Region: Section B, Item IV of this Regional Plan provides a description of the principal providers of training and education programs throughout the SJVAC RPU. Given the focus of the Regional Plan on middle-skill jobs (and entry-level employment with a path to middle-skill jobs), the community colleges and adult schools will likely be the providers of training for most credentials. Again, this cannot be definitively stated until the industry engagement on valued credentials is completed. 21 V. Identifying, Recording and Tracking Credential Attainment within the Region: Because the goal of producing the region’s share of the State target of a million industry-recognized credentials over the next ten years applies to the entire system (community colleges, adult schools, 4-year institutions, registered apprenticeships, etc.) and not just the WDBs, the stakeholders will form a workgroup to address the apportionment of goals among local areas and, within each area, the various partners. The stakeholders may look to the California Partnership for the San Joaquin Valley to reinstate its Higher Education and Workforce Development Work Group to convene discussions around both goals for credentials and the development of a process to track their attainment. Given the population of the region relative to the state as a whole, it is anticipated that the RPU would be responsible for ten percent of the state goal or 100,000 credentials. E. Workforce System Accessibility and Inclusiveness This portion of the plan addresses system accessibility and inclusiveness on two levels. The first concerns the approach used to ensure that a wide range of viewpoints were expressed during the planning process, where the second level describes various ways in which the workforce system makes services accessible to all job seekers, including those with barriers to employment. As with nearly all other features of the plan, information provided represents past accomplishments, the current status of the system and plans for moving forward. Where specific aspirations are described, corresponding statements are found in Section L, which summarizes regional goals. I. Stakeholder Input on Regional Planning: All stakeholders were invited to and included in planning forums held across the RPU to discuss workforce issues. As described in Section A, individual meetings were also held with representatives of a number of mandatory partners, such as the community colleges, economic development and DOR. The 16 planning forums that were held became a centerpiece of the planning process and intelligence gathering about where opportunities for improvements exist, including increasing system accessibility for individuals with limited English proficiency, the re-entry population, persons with disabilities and others from high need and historically disadvantaged communities. The forums are described in detail below. Outreach to Stakeholders Representing Target Groups: The planning process has been inclusive by design, with all points of view, experiences and priorities valued and taken into consideration. The eight WDBs reached out (largely through email notices) to community organizations representing target populations. Examples of stakeholders representing the interests of key populations include: Proteus on behalf of farmworkers; Friends Outside for returning offenders; and the Fresno Bridge Academy for disconnected youth. Attachment 8 is a list of all organizations invited to participate in the forums and Attachment 9 indicates all of the individuals who attended. Insights on System Accessibility: Across the various stakeholder gatherings, many issues were raised and opinions expressed. An unexpected outcome of these sessions was a series of common themes that developed, despite differences in location and composition of participants. Even more interesting is the fact that many of the themes directly reflect or touch upon the needs of those with employment barriers. Themes include: The need for English language skills training. While, as noted, opinions varied about levels of need and best training methods, there was widespread agreement about the effects of English fluency on earning potential. The value of work experience, internships, job shadowing and other forms of work-based learning for all job seekers, but, particularly, for individuals lacking work history. According to stakeholders, exposure to work not only helps to inform job and career decisions, but has a significant impact on the confidence and performance of individuals in post-training employment. Begin career education and exploration early. In fact, according to those working most closely with disadvantaged communities, start it very early. In communities historically disconnected from the labor market, children with insufficient exposure to and understanding of jobs, become adults with the same lack of familiarity. Information about jobs, careers, and key sectors should be contextualized within every aspect of K-12 learning. Treat digital literacy as a foundational skill for employment on par with numeracy and literacy. 22 Deepen the workforce systems’ relationships with CBOs not only as on-ramps, but as partners in removing barriers to employment. Each of the foregoing approaches is woven into one or more of the goals and action steps that conclude the Regional Plan. System Stakeholder Forums: Over a six-week period in November and December 2016, a total of 16 forums were conducted, with nearly 400 stakeholders (representing a wide cross-section of partners from business, education, economic development, organized labor, community-based agencies and the workforce system) participating and sharing their knowledge, experiences and opinions. Each forum covered one or more of seven topics addressing critical elements covered by the regional workforce plan: 1) the focus upon priority sectors and career pathways and fostering demand-driven skills attainment; 2) creating opportunities for upward mobility; 3) aligning, coordinating, and integrating programs and services; 4) promoting workers’ attainment of industry-valued and recognized post- secondary credentials; 5) focus on quality jobs; 6) leveraging community resources; and 7) system accessibility and inclusiveness. The forums generally lasted 2 hours and provided participating stakeholders with a brief overview of the regional planning process and background on the session’s topic. The consultants acted as facilitators and posed 3 to 5 broad questions to the participants, facilitating discussions to solicit input to inform regional planning efforts. Each of the local boards hosted one or more forums, as outlined in Attachment 7. The forums were structured around the following five topics: Sectors and Career Pathways: Participants were introduced to the definition of career pathways as a combination of education, training and other employment-supporting services. Questions posed to individuals attending the forums included: What are the “hard-to-fill” jobs and occupations in demand sectors? Where are the skill gaps? What career pathways exist to help workers enter and succeed in these jobs and occupations? What can we do as a community to improve career pathway opportunities? Pathways to the Middle Class: The facilitators started off these sessions by introducing stakeholders to a key objective of the State Plan - enabling upward mobility for all Californians, including populations with barriers to employment. The emphasis that the State Plan places on job quality was also discussed. Those attending the forums provided responses to these questions: What is a “mid-level” or “middle class” job in our community? Which “mid-level” jobs are hard to fill due to local skills shortages? What skills and prior experience do these jobs require? What is the career pathway to land and succeed in these jobs? What can we do as a community to see that local people who have major barriers to employment can get on and succeed in these career pathways? Aligning and Leveraging Workforce and Education Resources: The focus of these forums was on the full range of workforce and training resources, with training being defined in the broadest terms to cover foundational skills, academic skills, job skills (hard skills) and essential skills (work readiness and work maturity skills). Participants shared their thoughts on: What education, training and workforce resources does our community currently have? Do these resources provide trainees the skills needed for in-demand jobs in key sectors? How can we improve the ways in which these educational and workforce resources are used to help all jobseekers (including youth and those with barriers to employment) succeed in the identified, highest priority career pathways? 23 How can we ensure that youth and job seekers with serious barriers to employment have access to and succeed on these career pathways? Industry-Valued Credentials: Building upon the proposition that only industry can determine what credentials it values, the facilitators described content from the State Plan concerning the attainment of credentials by those participating in regional sector pathway programs. Stakeholders provided their responses to several questions including: What credentials are currently available that fit the critical career pathways? Do these credentials meet business/industry expectations? How could they be improved? Are methods to get these credentials reasonably accessible to potential members of our workforce with significant barriers to employment? English Language Learners? People with minimum wage jobs? Others? How can we improve access to credentials along career pathways? System Accessibility: For context, sessions on this topic opened with a discussion of populations likely to face one or more barriers to employment and with description of various services they most often need to prepare for work. Stakeholders were asked to consider the following in terms of building a more accessible, inclusive and responsive workforce system throughout the Central Valley: Are basic skills training and other pre-vocational services available in sufficient quantity to meet the demands for these services? How can workforce and education services be made more accessible to all job seekers? What groups are most at risk of being left behind? For foreign born individuals and English Language Learners, what workforce and education services are available to address workforce challenges? What role do community-based organizations play in providing accessibility to the system? The forums became a focal point of the regional planning process and a milestone in developing broader and more inclusive regional partnerships. They yielded substantive input both from individuals and organizations that are integral to the daily operations of the system and from those who have little familiarity with it. While commentary expectedly varied from session to session, common themes emerged across the region. Several of these are summarized under Item I, above. II. Adult Education Block Grant (“AEBG”) Consortia in the SJVAC RPU: There are eight AEbg consortia, representing 81 distinct education agencies, linked to the SJVAC RPU. Some of the districts and institutions within these consortia lie outside the RPU, their boundaries stretching into adjacent workforce regions. The consortia aligned to the regions are: Delta Sierra Regional Alliance, Gateway Adult Education Network, Kern AEBG Consortium, Sequoias Adult Education Consortium, State Center Adult Education Consortium, West Hills College Consortium, West Kern Consortium, and Yosemite (Stanislaus Mother Lode) Consortium. Participation of AEBG Leadership and Representatives: Leadership from six of the AEBG consortia participated in one or more of the regional planning forums. For the two consortia whose leaders did not attend, member institutions sent representatives. The consultants met one on one with Executive Directors of two consortia: Sequoias Adult Education Consortium and State Center Adult Education Consortium. Input from AEBG representatives was extremely valuable, especially with regard to the capacity of the adult education system to provide vital training for English language learners and job seekers needing basic skills remediation or support to earn a high school diploma or equivalency. Participation of consortia representatives also shed light on the substantial capacity of some adult education programs to provide skills training for high-demand sectors including construction, healthcare and manufacturing. Review of Consortia Plans: Among the eight consortia, planning documents are voluminous. The SJVAC’s regional planning consultants have reviewed some of the consortia plans (which include AB 86 Plans, Consortium 3-Year Plans and Annual Plans) and have reported that there is significant alignment with the Regional Workforce in terms 24 of priorities, such as the need for resources and effective strategies for ESL and basic skills instruction. As described in Section J, Exhibit 2 of this Regional Plan includes a list of links to the web page where the plans for all eight consortia can be found. III. Need for and Availability of Basic Skills Education: Information on the need for basic skills education services is principally available from two sources: demographic data and system stakeholders, including educators and those representing public agencies and community programs that work most closely with individuals needing basic skills training. Data available for the SJVAC RPU indicates that nearly one in five Central Valley residents speaks English “less than very well.” In addition, the US Census Bureau’s American Community Survey data for 2010 – 2014 indicates that 12.8% of the adult population has less than a 9th grade education with an additional 10.6% that have an education levels between 9th and 12th grade, but no diploma. Together these numbers suggest that there is substantial need for services. Those in the field provided mixed input. According to many, structural capacity exists among the network of providers to deliver all the basic education services needed, but financial resources were too few to meet a 100% of the need. Still others reported that some education programs had to publicize their programs to get enough student participation to spend their allocations. While no one would estimate the number of individuals receiving basic skills services in the region (due largely to definition issues), information suggests that programs in some communities have developed very strong reputations and are, therefore, able to attract learners to the basic skills training they need to participate effectively in career pathway training and in the workplace. The partners need to further examine this issue to determine what regional strategies could be developed to ensure programs and resources are aligned with need. Demography and Languages Spoken in the RPU: The Central Valley is home to a variety of ethnic groups. Non- Hispanic whites accounted for just over half of the valley’s population, and Latinos were the largest minority group . With regard to languages spoken in the Central Valley, although Spanish is the most common language after English, the Central Valley is host to dozens of languages such as Hmong, Romanian, Farsi and Punjabi. IV. Contextualizing Basic Skills into Regional Sector Pathway Strategies: As indicated earlier, a number of models exist for building basic skills into vocational training programs, and some work-based learning models. One such strategy is Integrated Basic Education and Skills Training (I-BEST), which pairs Adult Basic Education and/or English Language Acquisition instructors with professional-technical instructors in the classroom to provide students with literacy education and workforce skills at the same time. I-BEST challenges the traditional notion that students must first complete all levels of basic education before they can begin workforce training. As new career pathway programs are developed and existing ones are assessed for improvement, the partners will evaluate options to effectively integrate basic skills training into pathway programs. Strategies to Address Limited English Proficiency (LEP): In the same way that basic skills can be integrated into sector pathway programs, so can English language skills training. A September 2014 Brookings Institution report examined the effect of being non-English speaking on Central Valley residents and offered a number of suggestions for addressing a lack of English fluency. According to the report’s author, English proficiency is the most essential means of opening doors to economic opportunity for immigrant workers. The report's recommendations for reducing limited English proficiency include: Employer-initiated English education programs, particularly in industries such as agriculture, accommodations and food service, and manufacturing, where the percentage of LEP workers is highest. Targeting outreach based on the LEP population size, growth and period of arrival, as well as knowledge of languages spoken. Instructional innovation enabling LEP adults to access educational tools online and by mobile device. The most effective classes and programs combine English education with community integration and vocational training In working to develop and expand sector pathway programs, the partners will work to identify strategies and opportunities to test their effectiveness. As discussed, stakeholders participating in the planning process remarked 25 repeatedly on difficulties in recruiting many LEP individuals to English skills training. By implementing more accessible methods of training delivery, some of these obstacles can likely be overcome. V. Streamlining Access to Foundational Skills: Making basic and foundational skills training easily accessible is a system priority in the San Joaquin Valley. Opportunity abounds and businesses, especially those in high growth sectors, are looking for employees ready to take on the challenges of the workplace. To meet such challenges, workers must have basic reading/communications, math and digital literacy skills. The local boards in the SJVAC RPU will develop a regional protocol to ensure expediency in making basic skills training referrals for those needing these services to accelerate their participation in vocational skills and work readiness training. Intake and Assessment Process: WIOA is uniquely prescriptive concerning intake and assessment. Programs and funding streams governing system partner programs are much less so. The partners are committed to minimizing and, where possible, completely removing barriers to participation. The Central Valley WDBs will work with partners to identify and adopt strategies to promote rapid access to services for all job seekers, particularly those with barriers to employment. VI. Ensuring System Accessibility for People with Disabilities: All major system partners providing training (local WDBs, the community colleges, AEBG institutions, etc.) are subject to federal requirements under the American’s with Disabilities Act (ADA) and provisions of the California Civil code ensuring access for persons with disabilities. All surveyed reported no compliance issues with physical accessibility. Each of the eight local boards is required by WIOA to form a “disability accessibility” workgroup or committee. These workgroups will share concerns, “best practices” and solutions across the RPU. Access to Training and Regional Sector Pathway Program: Program accessibility is governed by many of the same statutes protecting physical accessibility. However, the partners are committed to more than access. The goal is inclusiveness. WIOA defines career pathways to include counseling to support an individual in achieving his/her education and career goals and indicates that such programs should organize education, training and other services to meet the particular needs of the individual. Under the Regional Plan, this definition will serve the partners well to ensure that persons with disabilities have access to services, that partners will seek to expand programs and strategies such as the use of Disability Resource Coordinators (DRC) who coordinate training and education for staff, organize and facilitate collaborations with local, state, and federal agencies, as well as non-local areas and organizations. The DRC develop strategies to create systemic change to improve employment outcomes for people with disabilities. They are currently in place in Madera and Merced counties. VII. Promoting Regional Sector Pathway Participation among CalWORKS Participants: Each of the local boards works closely with its corresponding county welfare agency(cies). CalWORKS participants are indeed an appropriate target group for regional sector pathway programs. As discussed throughout Section B, which describes both the regional economy and key characteristics of the labor force, the region’s growth sectors need talent! No worker is disposable. CalWORKS participants are, almost by definition, reliable. They are parents, which suggests that many are accustomed to managing multiple priorities, operating with limited resources, and making quick decisions – all traits used every day in the workplace and coveted by employers. CalWORKS participants also typically lack extensive resumes. Therefore, they need to bring especially strong workforce preparation to the table in order to compete successfully for jobs. Regionally, the boards will develop and deploy uniform recruitment messaging to broadcast to county welfare agencies to promote the benefits of CalWORKS participants enrolling in sector pathway training. As applicable, local workforce boards will “flag” case files for these participants as being likely to benefit from assistance by a workforce system navigator (see Item IX, below). VIII. Regional Collaboration to Ensure Support for System Customers: The regional partners are committed to ensuring that a full range of services are available to support every trainee’s/participant’s completion of his/her services plan, including regional sector pathway programs. In a geographic area as large as the San Joaquin Valley, support services are likely to be managed and delivered by local providers. But across the region, the partners can 26 agree to a protocol under which comprehensive support is provided to participants enrolled in sector pathway programs. The need for services is typically identified following assessment, when a service plan is developed. At this time, resources are identified to address comprehensive need, including significant barriers to employment. The partners have no expectation that all job seekers will progress at the same pace through services. Some, for instance, will need assistance with basic education services prior to training and others may require the use of assistive technology throughout participation. Under WIOA, participants enrolled in training are assigned a case manager to monitor their progress toward completion of services and to intervene with additional support as obstacles arise. IX. Incorporating Community-Based Organizations into the Network of Regional Workforce System Providers: One of the major themes arising during over 30 hours of intensive engagement with nearly 400 stakeholders throughout the Central Valley was the belief that community-based organizations need to play a greater role in the overall workforce system. Several stakeholders have commented on the importance of CBOs to the communities they serve and have highlighted the fact that most community-based agencies were established to address unmet needs. Based on stakeholder input during the planning process, the RPU partners will explore opportunities to better integrate local and regional non-profits into the workforce development system. These opportunities may include: Expanding the role of CBOs as on-ramps to the workforce system by enabling individuals to access a full range of workforce information at their sites Holding orientations to workforce system services at CBO facilities Bringing classes (basic skills, ESL, employment readiness, etc.) to community locations Utilizing CBO representatives as workforce system navigators for the populations they represent X. Creating Pathways to the Middle Class: The system is made up of partner organizations that provide services to respond to a wide range of needs, including basic skills education, demand-driven skills training, support services, referrals to jobs and much more. Most individuals seeking career preparation and employment assistance come to the system for one or more particular services that culminate in the best job opportunity that their new skills and work history can leverage. For some, this will be a middle skill job paying family supporting wages. For many more, including those who are entering the job market for the first time, it will be an entry-level job that will serve as a stepping stone to better opportunities that will become available with experience and the acquisition of more advanced skills. Job seekers will disengage with training programs to concentrate more on gaining or maintaining employment to fulfill short term economic needs Many people will carry more than one part time job to fulfill basic needs. While a particular service may have a beginning and an end date, the availability of the system to those who need it is constant. The system’s best tool for ensuring that individuals remain connected to the system as they progress from entry-level jobs to better jobs is to heavily promote the multiple on-and-off ramps to additional training and services. Some individuals will enter and exit services many times. The workforce system cannot expect to retain individuals in programs once they secure a job, but can work to ensure that participants are aware of services that are available to support their progress toward higher wages and career goals. A goal of this Regional Plan is for the system partners to develop a protocol for promoting career pathway opportunities for upskilling and stackable credentials. F. Regional Focus on Job Quality Job quality and quality jobs have dominated several discussions during the regional planning process. Of interest has been the universal decision by stakeholders not to define quality jobs more precisely than the State Plan and regional planning guidance. Based on California statute, this “definition” advises the workforce system to emphasize “placement in a job providing economic security or job placement in an entry-level job that has a well–articulated career pathway or career ladder to providing economic security.” As described below, the partners embraced this notion and recognized that starter jobs must represent a means to an end rather than a dead end. The strategy of the 27 RPU’s workforce system with respect to job quality is directly connected to the region’s emphasis on high-demand sectors. These sectors have not only the greatest likelihood of offering career advancement leading to higher wages, companies in these sectors have the capability to grow and expand, enabling them to use revenues, in part, to offer good wages and benefits to employees. Following is a discussion of entry-level and middle skill wages associated with jobs in priority sectors, along with plans to target business where quality jobs are available. In addition, the regional partners have identified incumbent worker training strategies with great potential to be replicated throughout the SJVAC RPU, likely in partnership with the community colleges. I. Employment and Earnings Potential Associated with Target Sectors and Regional Sector Pathways: As discussed in Section C of this plan, the partners have begun a process to work with system stakeholders on the development of career pathway programs that will be implemented regionally. With the next two years, partners expect to have one or more demand-driven sector pathway programs designed for each of the region’s six target sectors. Some of these regional sector programs will be based on existing efforts, both regional and locally, such as advanced manufacturing training that is currently under design as part of the SlingShot initiative and the multi-craft core curriculum and pre-apprenticeship training currently in use within several local areas. Other regional sector pathway programs will be those for which planning is only conceptual at this point. Nevertheless, given industry input to date, the partners anticipate implementing training programs that will prepare completers for employment in a variety of entry-level and middle skill jobs including the following. Earning for Occupations Directly Related to Regional Sector Pathway Programs Advanced Manufacturing Entry Level Occupations Job Title Employed in 2016 Median Wage Team Assemblers 2,614 $ 13.07 Welders, Cutters, Solderers, and Brazers 2,078 $ 21.33 Middle Skill Occupations Job Title Employed in 2016 Median Wage Electrical and Electronics Engineering Technicians 220 $ 37.74 Bookkeeping, Accounting, and Auditing Clerks 503 $ 17.90 Agriculture (particularly, Value-Added Agriculture) Entry Level Occupations Job Title Employed in 2016 Median Wage Packaging and Filling Machine Operators and Tenders 6,495 $ 13.63 Farmworkers, Farm, Ranch, and Aquacultural Animals 5,087 $ 12.88 Middle Skill Occupations Job Title Employed in 2016 Median Wage Agricultural and Food Science Technicians 719 $ 17.33 Heating, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration Mechanics and Installers 71 $ 21.54 Construction (including Public Infrastructure) Entry Level Occupations Job Title Employed in 2016 Median Wage Construction Laborers 6,702 $ 16.39 28 Carpenters 4,698 $ 21.35 Middle Skill Occupations Job Title Employed in 2016 Median Wage Heating, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration Mechanics and Installers 1,719 $ 21.54 Telecommunications Equipment Installers and Repairers, Except Line Installers 387 $ 25.78 Healthcare Entry Level Occupations Job Title Employed in 2016 Median Wage Medical Secretaries 5,512 $ 15.81 Office Clerks, General 5,121 $ 14.52 Middle Skill Occupations Job Title Employed in 2016 Median Wage Nursing Assistants 10,291 $ 12.75 Licensed Practical and Licensed Vocational Nurses 5,134 $ 24.48 Transportation and Logistics Entry Level Occupations Job Title Employed in 2016 Median Wage Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand 8,101 $ 12.35 Industrial Truck and Tractor Operators 3,688 $ 15.87 Middle Skill Occupations Job Title Employed in 2016 Median Wage Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers 14,868 $ 18.85 Aircraft Mechanics and Service Technicians 535 $ 28.63 Energy (including Green Energy) Entry Level Occupations Job Title Employed in 2016 Median Wage Electrical Power-Line Installers and Repairers 279 $ 46.34 Control and Valve Installers and Repairers, Except Mechanical Door 225 $ 22.58 Middle Skill Occupations Job Title Employed in 2016 Median Wage Wind Turbine Service Technicians 144 $ 23.44 Electrical and Electronics Repairers, Powerhouse, Substation, and Relay 61 $ 38.73 II. Regional Wages: EDD LMID’s September 2016 Labor Market Data Summary does not provide aggregate median wage data for the RPU, but does provide the following “median household income” data for each of the ten associated counties. 29 Median Household Income by County Median Household Income Fresno $45,201 Inyo $45,625 Kern $48,574 Kings $47,341 Madera $45,490 Merced $43,066 Mono $61,814 San Joaquin $53,253 Stanislaus $49,573 Tulare $42,863 The data does not indicate the number of wage earners in a given household. III. Emphasis on Quality Jobs: All boards within the region prioritize training and employment preparation activities leading to jobs in high-growth and other demand industries. This reflects a commitment to quality jobs, as the target industries each boast career paths to well-paid middle skill jobs, which have entry-level employment opportunities that serve as on-ramps. Plans to emphasize quality jobs are described below. Reaching Regional Consensus on a Quality Jobs Focus: Stakeholders engaged in the planning process, including those representing individuals with barriers to employment, generally agreed with the language of the state statute pertaining to “good jobs.” They did offer a number of suggestions that helped frame the issue toward the development of regional goals. As a baseline, there was broad agreement that jobs into which partners place participants should pay a self-sufficiency wage, even for first time workers. Generally, the job characteristics that stakeholders believe speak to quality are: good wages (family supporting); benefits; flexibility; stability; advancement potential; and fulfillment/likeability. Acknowledging that job quality is not a fixed concept, there was significant agreement that entry-level jobs demonstrate quality when there are discernable next steps for training and skills acquisition that enable workers to move up and earn better wages. Current Efforts by Local Boards to Focus on Quality Jobs: The system partners, including local WDB’s, community colleges and other workforce and training providers currently have relationships with business (including many large employers and business where workers are represented under collective bargaining agreements) that offer good wages and career opportunities. Jobs with such companies are the most competitive and workers with a combination of the best experience, most training, recognized credentials, and demonstrable skills are those who are hired. Specific actions the partner will take with regard to prioritizing jobs with good wages and benefits and increase opportunities for all job seekers include: Providing training that produces workers with high demand skills Working with organized labor, industry associations and others to identify companies that pay competitive wages, provide benefits and offer opportunities for career advancement. Building relationships with identified companies to promote their understanding of the value of training and credentials that the system’s candidates possess. Also, work with these business es to understand where entry- level on-ramps exist to position workers for advancement to higher paying jobs. IV. Incumbent Worker and Career Pathway Strategies: Many of the partners have substantial experience in working with employed individuals to retrain in new skills or otherwise upgrade their skill sets. Expanded use of these strategies within the region will bolster the system’s ability to move workers from entry positions to middle-skill jobs paying higher wages. Progress in this area and plans to increase incumbent worker training are described below. Current Regional Initiatives: Several of the local boards are working with incumbent workers on a project-by-project basis. However, Tulare County has implemented an incumbent worker initiative that is gaining momentum and holds 30 promise for creating opportunities for new hires, as current workers upgrade skills and move to higher positions. UpSkill Tulare County builds upon the Aspen Institute’s “UpSkill America” vision, encouraging businesses to invest in the existing workforce, which, in turn, is likely to improve internal career ladders and makes career pathways more visible. UpSkill represents a shift from the typical WIOA strategy of trying to fill higher skilled openings (“good jobs") with recently trained unemployed individuals to filling these positions with entry-level workers currently employed by the business. A benefit of this approach, as workers move up, is often the creation of entry-level openings that require little or no training for new workers. UpSkill is gaining traction with Tulare County businesses that have expressed that they prefer to hire from within for skilled positions, as current workers have generally demonstrated their value and are familiar with company culture. Under the UpSkill initiative, Tulare County is currently focusing on 3 priority sectors: Health Care; Logistics; and Manufacturing. At present, training for incumbent workers is being provided in cohort format by the Training Resource Center at College of the Sequoias and includes: Essential Workplace Skills: First Line Supervisor Training, and Advanced Technical Skills (customized by industry need). Additional training options for incumbent workers, including work-based learning, may soon be offered to broaden the interest of businesses in the UpSkill initiative. Tulare County is using a combination of WIOA Incumbent Worker Training (IWT), ETP, and other specialized funding to pilot the UpSkill initiative. Expanding Regional Capacity for Incumbent Worker Training: All other local boards have expressed interest in the UpSkill model. Working through the CCWC structure the boards are committed to developing a protocol for rolling out the initiative throughout the region, and to develop common processes that would enable the initiative to be marketed under a uniform message across the entire Central Valley. G. Recording and Tracking Training-Related Employment Within federally-funded workforce development programs, identifying, recording, tracking and reporting of training- related placements has long been a practice at the local level no matter the requirements of U.S. DOL performance measures or statewide reporting systems. Determining whether jobs secured by participants are within the field for which they trained, provides workforce administrators and staff critical information in several areas, including the value of training provided, true labor market demand and the effectiveness of career exploration/preparedness participants received prior to training. It also speaks to return on investment, indicating the relative worth of a particular program in terms of producing job ready candidates. As part of the RPU stakeholder’s commitment to a demand-driven training system, the local WDBs will lead a process to examine how training-related employment can be determined for individuals trained by all education and workforce partners, including those not funded by WIOA. Tracking Training-Related Placement under WIOA: The local boards with the SJVAC RPU currently track and record training-related placements. Within CalJOBS, when an individual enters employment at closure or follow-up, WDBs and their agents are able document employment within the Entered Employment Form. As job information is recorded, the system will confirm if the job is considered “Training Related Employment.” This info rmation is based on Occupation Codes. Working with Stakeholders to Track Training-Related Placement throughout the Region: The State Plan requires regional partners to determine the extent to which individuals receiving sector-focused and demand-driven training are actually securing jobs in fields and sectors directly related to their programs of study. As stated, this is currently being identified and tracked for those receiving training funded by the Workforce Investment and Opportunity Act (“WIOA”). As a goal of this plan, the CCWC, in cooperation with the CPSJV, will convene representatives from training and education providers across the region (including 4-year institutions, community colleges, adult education, private vocational, institutions and others) to discuss options for establishing a “denominator” of trainees, the basis for determining training-relatedness and methods for tracking and recording training activities and placement outcomes. The CalJOBS system holds promise for scalability and application to this issue and will likely serve as a jumping off point for dialog among the partners. 31 H. Adherence to Federal Requirements for Regional Planning The RPU’s Regional Workforce Plan addresses WIOA’s “regional coordination” requirements by adopting the goals of California’s Strategic Workforce Development Plan and via the following approaches: Development of a Regional Plan: The SJVAC RPU’s Plan complies with WIOA Section 106(c)(2), by describing the partners’ approach to the A-H activities and by incorporating the Local Plans developed by the eight local boards as of the Regional Plan. Regional Service Strategies: Much of the regional planning process has focused on opportunities for implementing strategies across two or more local areas or throughout the entire region. Various regional strategies and approaches being piloted, in development, or under consideration are discussed throughout this plan. These include options for incumbent worker training, industry engagement, training for English language learners, courses for emerging skill areas and more. Goals pertaining to various regional service strategies are indicated in Section L, below. Development and Implementation of Sector Initiatives: Sector initiatives are underway at the regional level for manufacturing under the RPU’s SlingShot initiative. Various local construction, manufacturing and healthcare career pathway programs have crossed boundaries and are being scaled up among multiple boards. Local boards have focused training resources nearly exclusively on targeted demand sectors. New levels of collaboration with the community colleges (arising from SlingShot, long-term cooperation on numerous projects, and this planning process) will result in more demand-driven training for the RPU’s six target sectors. The regional goals established in this pl an will accelerate development and implementation of regional sector pathway programs and related initiatives. Collection and Analysis of Regional Labor Market Data: While EDD’s LMID has unrivaled capacity with regard to data about the labor market and the workforce, SJVAC’s regional planning process serves as testimony to the ability of the regional partners to gather intelligence from the field, including information about industries, businesses, and workers and those seeking employment. As a goal of the Plan, we will explore opportunities to share information with LMID, with the hope that such information will help to inform the data collection and analysis it performs on behalf of the Central Valley. In addition, the RPU will request support from LMID with regard to defining the green energy sector. Administrative Collaboration: At this stage of regional planning, local boards have agreed that opportunities may exist for collaboration on administrative functions, such as monitoring. Further review is planned. Collaboration on Supportive Services: Given the vastness of the region and the fact that many support services providers (both public and private) are place-based, regional coordination of support activities and services is a daunting task. However, this matter will remain on the “regional radar” and will be included in on discussions among the partners. Coordination with Regional Economic Development: Locally, the eight WBDs work closely with their economic development counterparts and, through county-level economic development agencies, connect to the California Central Valley Economic Development Corporation, which serves the RPU counties (absent Inyo and Mono). As the California Partnership for the Central Valley has responsibility for the Regional Industry Cluster Action Plan, it is situated as an ideal platform for furthering discussion on regional economic development. As the manager of a countywide Economic Development Corporation; the Kings County WDB Director serves as the local EDC President, and is the conduit for exchange between the regional EDC and the RPU. Agreement on Performance Measures: The local boards have completed joint negotiations with the State on performance measures. 32 In addition, as expressed throughout this narrative, the Regional Plan meets State Plan requirements pertaining to the partners’ development of regional sector pathways. I. Regional Agreements Among RPU Partners For nearly a decade, the boards that comprise the SJVAC have had a memorandum of understanding (MOU) in place that create a framework for collaboration among the local workforce areas and opportunities to coordinate, especially with regard to special projects and initiatives that cross the boundaries that define the local area. This agreement is currently being reviewed and updated, confirming the value that the boards place on cooperation and bringing greater capacity and resources to the region. Central Valley Workforce Collaborative Regional Agreement: The purpose of the current MOU among the eight San Joaquin Valley WDBs is to maintain cooperative and mutually beneficial relationships. In 2007, an original MOU created the Central California Workforce Collaborative as “a confederation of equals,” that operates under a general working structure, rather than as an entity. Both the current and prior MOUs stress the importance of collaboration with regard to securing regional funding and the leveraging of resources to strengthen the workforce system throughout the Central Valley. The MOU emphasizes the independence of the eight boards and the fact that all parties agree to respect one another’s organizational practices and management structures in the execution of collaborative activities. The agreement empowers the boards to: develop and implement collaborative efforts at a regional level; conduct formal and informal meetings with members present under the CCWC name to discuss best practices; utilize the CCWC name in sponsorship materials for third party organizations; and, project by project, designate local workforce development boards as the “lead agency” for regional initiatives. Furthermore, the CCWC MOU establishes a format for meetings, which may be held in person, via electronic media or through conference calls, and for keeping minutes of scheduled meetings. Responsibilities for organizing meetings rotate among the boards. Having the CCWC MOU in place has not only resulted in the award of numerous special grants and cross-county collaborations in the Central Valley, it has provided a huge head start in the regional planning process. Expansion of Existing MOU: The current CCWC MOU provides clear parameters under which the local boards collaborate, communicate and work in unison on particular projects and activities. As the WDBs and RPU partners work toward the system goals outlined under section L (below), it is possible that adoption of new procedures and strategies across the region, such as consolidating “Eligible Training Provider List” administration or the use of joint incumbent worker training protocols, could result in the development of one or more separate cooperative agreements among the eight boards. Other Agreements among Local Workforce Development Boards and System Stakeholders: Each of the eight local boards within the RPU maintains various MOUs and agreements between partner organizations, including the one-stop MOUs prescribed by WIOA. As planning for regional coordination and system alignment continues across the Central Valley, the WDBs will consider the value of scaling up local partnership/collaborative agreements across the region. Discussions around such opportunities may be led by CCWC, CPSJV or other system partners that identify prospects for structured agreements to support enhanced regional coordination. J.

Regional Collaboration: Goals and Associated Action Steps Throughout the foregoing narrative, numerous strategies, approaches and processes are described as “aspirational” or are represented as planned or “in progress.” On behalf of the myriad of regional stakeholders that have contributed to the Plan by providing recommendation and sharing both resources and insights, the eight LWDBs comprising the SJVAC RPU have established the following 2017–2020 goals for the regional workforce system. I. Economic Analysis a. Collaborate with EDD LMID to develop a clear industry cluster description for the energy sector, including green energy b. Establish a protocol for to share “intelligence” about demand industries and other high growth sectors with EDD LMID for the purpose of data analysis to support regional sector pathway programs. II. Engagement with Economic Development a. Revisit Regional Industry Cluster Action Plan b. Explore opportunities for stronger regional coordination with economic development 34 III. Regional Sector Pathway Programs a. Implement intensive industry engagement processes to: discuss industry needs for skills in various classifications, including middle skills jobs and entry-level employment that provides a path to these jobs; identify new classifications or skills sets for which training is needed and provide direction on content requirements; review new and existing career pathway programs (including the one’s under Item III, below), which have been developed throughout the region, and provide input on the relevance of content and what changes are necessary to reflect current skill needs of business; and determine the frequency with which regional sector pathway program content should be reviewed to ensure it remains relevant b. Following intensive engagement processes, update the Regional Plan to include priority regional sector pathway programs. IV. Industry-Valued Credential Attainment a. Implement intensive industry engagement processes to: review and recommend metrics for determining the value of credentials; review existing credentials awarded in the region and determine their value; identify credentials that would be desirable for each target industry; and develop a process for re-confirming the value of credentials. b. Following the intensive engagement process, update the Regional Plan to include industry-valued credentials linked to regional sector pathway programs c. Credential attainment: Form a workgroup to address the apportionment of goals among local areas and, within each area, the various partners. V. System Accessibility and Inclusiveness a. English language skills training: convene a workgroup to develop strategies around the following challenges and issues: communicating the value of English language skills acquisition in terms of employment opportunities; making services accessible in terms of location, schedule and instructional methods; broadcasting the availability of programs and services; linking language skills to work requirements, and; offering various on-ramps to beginning, intermediate and advanced English skills training. b. Develop a regional protocol: Expand use of work experience, internships, job shadowing and other forms of work- based learning. c. Develop a regional protocol: Promote early career education and exploration via K-12 system. d. Develop a regional protocol: Treat digital literacy as a foundational skill for employment on par with numeracy and literacy. e. Survey workforce system partners regarding the availability of resources to support needed levels of basic skills training. f. Work with education partners to evaluate options for integrating basic skills training (including ESL) into regional sector pathway programs. g. Develop a regional protocol: Ensure expediency on referrals to basic skills training. h. Develop a regional protocol: Ensure rapid access to services. i. Examine opportunities to enhance the role of CBOs in the workforce development system. VI. Focus on Job Quality a. Provide training that produces workers with high demand skills. b. Work with organized labor, industry associations and others to identify companies that pay competitive wages, provide benefits and offer opportunities for career advancement. c. Build relationships with identified companies to promote their understanding of the value of training and credentials that the system’s candidates possess. 35 d. Work with these businesses to understand where entry-level on-ramps exist to position workers for advancement to higher paying jobs. e. Develop a regional protocol for the roll-out of the UpSkill model throughout the region. VII. Tracking Training-Related Placements: Convene representatives from training and education providers across the region (including 4-year institutions, community colleges, adult education, private vocational, institutions and others) to discuss options for establishing a “denominator” of trainees, the basis for determining training-relatedness and methods for tracking and recording training activities and placement outcomes. VIII. Administrative and Operational Coordination a. Hold periodic regional convening across disciplines, perhaps using a neutral convener. b. Explore opportunities for coordination of functions. IX. Workforce System Development and Collaboration with System Partners: Work with education partners to identify strategies to improve: capacity to receive on-going input from industry; turn-around time to implement new and updated courses; consistency of training content from institution to institution; collaboration with system stakeholders in engaging industry; and, on-ramps for individuals with barriers to employment.

JOB GROWTH The regional unemployment rate has declined to 9.9 percent in 2015, down from the peak of 16.5 percent in 2010, but still well above the low point before the recession of 7.9 percent in 2006. Before the recession, total jobs in the region peaked at 1,361,550 in 2007 and did not reach that level again until late 2014. Jobs have grown to 1,405,122 (annual average) in 2015. Health Care is projected to see the highest growth in jobs between 2015 and 2025 (49,000 new jobs), followed by Retail (27,400 new jobs) and Food Service (18,000 new jobs). The CCWC region is also expected to see relatively strong growth in Education (16,400 new jobs), and Professional, Scientific and Technical services (8,700 new jobs). The Logistics sector, including Wholesale, Warehousing and Transportation, are projected to grow by a combined 22,700 new jobs. Manufacturing is projected to increase by 7,000 jobs, but this trend masks considerable turbulence within the sector, with some industries growing while others decline. Wineries (NAICS 312230) are projected to grow by 1,400 new jobs and a number of other food processing industries are projected to grow by at least 500 new jobs each, such as roasted nuts and peanut butter (NAICS 311911), poultry processing (NAICS 311615), animal slaughtering (NAICS 311611), and cheese manufacturing (NAICS 311513). At the same time, dried and dehydrated food manufacturing (NAICS 311423) and fruit and vegetable canning (NAICS 311423) are expected to each decline by more than 600 jobs. Breakfast cereal manufacturing (NAICS 311230) and commercial bakeries (NAICS 311812) are expected to decline by approximately 300 jobs each. Construction recovered more than 12,800 jobs over the past five years but is projected to continue at less than half that rate of job growth, with 11,200 new jobs created between 2015 and 2025. 1 For purposes of this report, the CCWC region includes the following counties: San Joaquin, Stanislaus, Merced, Madera, Fresno, Kings, Tulare, Kern, Inyo, and Mono. Applied Development Economics | Page 2 Consistent with the above trends, the Health and Wellness industry cluster is projected to have the highest job growth over the next ten years. The Health and Wellness cluster is projected to add 51,000 jobs by 2025. About 26,700 (52 percent) of the new jobs will occur in the Health Care Delivery sub-cluster. Within this sub-cluster, the number of jobs in hospitals and HMO Centers is projected to increase by 8,500 new jobs. In contrast, services to elderly and disabled persons are projected to increase by 20,800 new jobs. The projections of job openings show a concentration in transportation and materials handling (4,900 annual openings), food services and retail (12,600 combined annual openings), office and admin support (5,900 annual openings) and farm occupations (6,300 annual openings). For each of the occupational categories, the report also indicates the number of unemployed and part time workers in the region that meet the minimum educational requirements for the projected job openings. These workers may need more specialized training in order to transition into these jobs. LABOR FORCE CHARACTERISTICS The labor force in CCWC region is fairly evenly concentrated among the age groups. Workers in the 16-24 age group are about 16.6 percent of the total while nearly 25 percent are in the 25-34 age group. The prime working age group of 35-54 has 41 percent of the workforce. Workers over 55 constitute about 16.9 percent of the workforce and a number of employers report that impending retirements are a significant issue for them in terms of anticipated openings in the future. Non-citizen workers constitute 18.9 percent of the workforce in CCWC region, though the rate varies with age. At 23.7 percent of the prime working age (35 to 54) labor force, non-citizens are more concentrated in this age cohort relative to their overall concentration level. Educational attainment in the CCWC region is slightly lower than the statewide averages, with 22 percent of workers 25 years and older not holding a high school diploma or equivalent, compared to 18.5 percent for the state as a whole. Statewide, 38.8 percent have a college degree, compared to 28.5 percent for the CCWC region. However, in the San Joaquin Valley there is a stark contrast in the educational attainment levels of the labor force when citizenship status is taken into account. Among US citizens in the CCWC workforce, only 12 percent do not have a high school diploma or GED and 33.7 percent have a college degree. Non-citizens 25 and over exhibit high rates of less than high school attainment level: 62.8 percent of the non-citizens in the labor force have not obtained a high school diploma or a GED. This accounts in part for the differences in educational attainment between Latino workers and other workers in the labor force, as the non-citizen group is 87.1 percent Latino. Overall, Latinos have earned high school diplomas and GEDs at rates slightly surpassing Whites and Others, at 25.9 percent versus 24.5 percent (Whites) and 21.7 percent (Others). However, Whites and Others are over two and a half times more likely than Latinos to have earned a Applied Development Economics | Page 3 college degree: 14.9 percent of the Latinos in the labor force have earned a college degree versus 39.6 percent for Whites and 40.8 percent for Others. Veterans in CCWC region tend to have high levels of overall educational attainment, with 3.5 percent not achieving a high school diploma. Among disabled workers, however, 24.5 percent do not have a high school diploma, compared to 22 percent for the workforce as a whole. CONCLUSION At 1.4 percent a year, jobs in CCWC region is expected to grow modestly from now to 2025, although analysts project a number of sectors (Construction, Health, Logistics, Professional, Scientific and Technical Services, Administrative Support, Education, Health Care and Food Services) to exceed this overall annual growth rate. However, qualified workers are in short supply for certain key job categories. Based on the analysis presented in this report and discussions with key employers and workforce training organizations, the following can be identified as potential priorities for additional training efforts. Medical Technicians Electricians Maintenance Mechanics Ability to use computer operated processing controls and instruments (and related English competency) Workers with supervisory and management skills Business skills Applied Development Economics | Page 4 ECONOMIC TRENDS POPULATION AND EMPLOYMENT TRENDS The region unemployment rate has declined to 9.9 percent in 2015, down from the peak of 16.5 percent in 2010, but still well above the low point before the recession of 7.9 percent in 2006 (Table 1). While job levels have been increasing since 2010, the size of the labor force peaked in 2012 at 1,843,740, then declined to 1,840,270 by 2014 and finally increased slightly to 1,840,828 in 2015.

Note: Unemployment rates for 2000-2008 and 2008-2015 in the table above are annual averages, not annual growth rate. Household population growth in the San Joaquin Valley exceeded statewide growth rates between 2011 and 2013, but has slowed in the past two years (Table 2). As shown in Figure 1, CCWC region is projected to grow significantly faster than the state as a whole over the next five years (2015-2020), which will have implications for some employment sectors, as discussed below.

The annual average number of jobs in 2015 is estimated at 1,405,122 (Table 3). Through 2008, total jobs in the County were growing at a 1.4 annual percentage rate, while since 2008, the number of jobs have grown at a much lower 0.5 percent per year.

Much of the agricultural job growth is projected in farm support (NAICS 115), especially from farm labor contractors (NAICS 115115) (Table 5). A number of factors affect farm employment including availability of water and continued mechanization of farming operations. In addition, employers interviewed for this study indicated that the new state minimum wage law will affect employment opportunities in both farming and food processing and related industries. Manufacturing industries in CCWC region are mainly in food processing. Manufacturing jobs increased by more than 5,100 jobs between 2010 and 2015, from 101,451 in 2010 to 105,607 in 2015. This sector is expected to slow its growth over the next ten years, adding about 7,000 jobs. Within manufacturing, food processing (NAICS 311-312) is expected to increase annually by 0.8 percent Applied Development Economics | Page 7 Table 4 — Employment Trends and Projections By Sectors: CCWC Region NAICS CODE INDUSTRY SECTOR 2010 JOBS 2015 JOBS 2025 PROJECTED 15-25 CHANGE 10-15 ANNUAL GROWTH RATE 15-25 ANNUAL GROWTH RATE Total 1,316,427 1,457,520 1,666,961 209,444 2.1% 1.4% 11 Agriculture 186,738 208,225 219,800 11,575 2.2% 0.5% 21 Mining 9,991 10,518 11,234 717 1.0% 0.7% 22 Utilities 6,214 6,746 7,084 338 1.7% 0.5% 23 Construction 48,579 61,365 72,607 11,242 4.8% 1.7% 31-33 Manufacturing 101,451 105,607 112,637 7,030 0.8% 0.6% 42 Wholesale 42,299 48,849 60,685 11,836 2.9% 2.2% 44-45 Retail 131,984 151,397 178,823 27,426 2.8% 1.7% 48 Warehousing 27,552 34,702 43,197 8,494 4.7% 2.2% 49 Transportation 19,150 20,677 23,042 2,366 1.5% 1.1% 51 Information 12,587 11,358 12,284 927 -2.0% 0.8% 52 Finance and Insurance 29,252 28,637 30,847 2,210 -0.4% 0.7% 53 Real Estate and Leasing 14,946 15,877 17,983 2,106 1.2% 1.3% 54 Prof., Scientific, Technical 35,543 37,908 46,560 8,652 1.3% 2.1% 55 Mgt. of Companies 10,568 10,953 9,469 -1,484 0.7% -1.4% 561 Admin Support 47,214 56,111 70,618 14,506 3.5% 2.3% 562 Waste Mgt. 3,829 4,279 5,903 1,624 2.2% 3.3% 61 Education 143,868 154,138 170,580 16,441 1.4% 1.0% 62 Health 167,766 192,884 241,950 49,066 2.8% 2.3% 71 Arts, Rec. and Enter. 10,595 12,290 14,021 1,731 3.0% 1.3% 721 Accommodations 9,580 9,245 10,668 1,423 -0.7% 1.4% 722 Food and Drinking Services 81,536 98,907 116,854 17,947 3.9% 1.7% 81 Other Services 40,191 44,135 50,937 6,802 1.9% 1.4% 92 Public Admin. 118,226 114,402 121,561 7,159 -0.7% 0.6% 98 Nat’l Security/Military 14,950 14,535 13,442 -1,093 -0.6% -0.8% 99 Misc. 1,817 3,775 4,174 400 15.7% 1.0% Source: Applied Development Economics, based on EMSI 2015 Q4 QCEW and Non-QCEW Industry Employment Data. (Internal file: P:\CCWC Labor Force 2015\03_NEXT-TASKS\TABLES\06_draft_Fresno-update.xlsx T3r) between 2015 and 2025. Overall, food processing is projected to grow by more than 5,700 jobs in the coming years, led by food manufacturing industries such as animal slaughtering (NAICS 311611), meat processed from carcasses (NAICS 311612), perishable prepared foods (NAICS 311991) and wineries (NAICS 312130) (Table 5). A number of non-food processing manufacturing industries are also projected to produce new jobs. Paint and coatings (NAICS 325510), plastics pipe and pipe fittings (NAICS 326122), urethane ad other foam products (NAICS 326150), glass products (NAICS 327215), fabricated structural metal (NAICS 332312) and search and detection instruments (NAICS 334511) are projected to have a combined growth of 1,825 jobs between 2015 and 2025. Applied Development Economics | Page 8 The construction industry continued to grow coming out of the recession over the past five years, and is projected to grow over the next ten years as well (Table 4). Residential construction (NAICS 236116), residential remodelers (NAICS 236118), electrical and plumbing specialties (NAICS 238210 and 238220) and water and sewer line construction (NAICS 237110) are expected to grow during this period, which is consistent with expected population growth for the region over the next ten years (Table 5). In addition, the High Speed Rail (HSR) project and a variety of highway improvement projects are projected to add significant heavy construction jobs in the region. The HSR project is estimate to support an average of nearly 3,000 jobs over the ten year period to 2025, with peaks of 6,000 jobs during the height of construction. The Health Services sector is projected to see strong employment growth over the next ten years. This is a consistent finding throughout the state as well as nationally and reflects both demographic trends with the aging Baby Boomer population as well as industry trends to institute managed care with more outpatient and home health care. Employment in Health Services is projected to grow to 241,950 in 2025 from 192,884 in 2015, for an annual rate of growth of 2.8 percent (Table 4). In an effort to accurately characterize the state of employment in the sector in CCWC Region, employment in Health Services includes employed persons in the public sector, who for purposes of analysis were moved out of NAICS 92 (Public Administration) and into NAICS 62 (Health Services). Another population based trend is the increase in retail and food services jobs. Both these sectors have been recovering from the recession over the past five years, and are projected to see more moderate growth over the next ten years. Table 5 provides more detail on projected fast growing industries in CCWC region.

Applied Development Economics | Page 18 INDUSTRY CLUSTERS The San Joaquin Valley has defined a number of regional industry clusters that are significant components of the regional economic base, which are listed in Table 6 below.2 The Agriculture cluster includes not only farm production, but also food processing, related distribution and logistics, and a variety of agricultural services that include fertilizers, irrigation, soil testing, veterinary services, and marketing among others (Detailed cluster and sub-cluster employment data are in the in the beginning of the Appendix). This cluster cuts across several of the major industry groups shown in Table 4 above. Within the broader Agricultural cluster, there continues to be a shift away from jobs employed directly at farms and increased reliance on farm labor contractors. In addition, a number of food processing industries are projected to increase employment, including poultry processing (NAICS 311615), animal slaughtering (NAICS 311611), meat processed from carcasses (NAICS 311612), wineries (NAICS 312130), corrugated and solid fiber box (NAICS 322211), perishable prepared foods (NAICS 311991), and wood containers and pallets (NAICS 321920)(see Table A-2 in the Appendix). In addition, the agriculture related distribution (logistics) sector is projected to add about 3,900 jobs over the next ten years. Industry clusters represent traded sectors in the regional economy and typically are the source of most of the income and wealth for the region as well as the areas where innovation occurs most frequently. In CCWC region, Agriculture and Health Care are the two largest industry clusters. For this study, we have also included the retail sector and the accommodations and food services sector to reflect job opportunities in the local-serving and tourism industries. The Health and Wellness cluster is projected to add 51,000 jobs by 2025 (Table 6). Of the 51,000 new jobs, almost 26,700 (52 percent) will occur in the Health Care – Delivery sub-cluster. Within this sub- cluster, the number of jobs in hospitals is projected to increase by 5,400 new jobs, with another 4,200 new jobs projected for services to elderly and disabled persons. In addition to the 4,200 new service- related jobs in the Health Care – Delivery sub-cluster, there is another 20,800 new jobs in the Health Care – Other Services sub-cluster pertaining to services for the elderly and disabled (NAICS 624120). Some of the new jobs will occur in hospital settings but many will be in outpatient facilities and various types of nursing and residential care facilities. (see Appendix Tables-6 and -7 for detail on industries in this cluster). In addition to tracking growing industries, our analysis also identifies industries that are expected to decline. Table 7 lists industries within various clusters expected to decline by 50 or more workers between 2015 and 2025. While food processing generally exhibits strong growth over the next ten years, there are several food processing industries within the Ag Cluster that expected to decline, such as breakfast cereal manufacturing (NAICS 311230), fruit and vegetable canning (NAICS 311421), and dried and dehydrated food manufacturing (NAICS 311423). 2 ADE Inc., San Joaquin Valley Regional Industry Cluster Analysis and Action Plan, prepared for the Office of Community and Economic Development, CSU Fresno, on behalf of the California Partnership for the San Joaquin Valley.

As discussed in the next chapter, as the Baby Boomer generation ages out of the labor force, there will be an increasing need for replacement workers. In addition, job turnover occurs for a number of other reasons. As shown in Table 8, more than 51,200 average annual openings are projected between 2015 and 2025 (512,600 total openings), of which approximately 21,000 annual openings would be due to new job growth.

AGE DEMOGRAPHICS The labor force in CCWC region is fairly evenly concentrated among the age groups. Workers in the 16-24 age group are about 16.6 percent of the total while nearly 25 percent are in the 25-34 age group. The prime working age group of 35-54 has 42 percent of the workforce. Workers over 55 constitute about 16.9 percent of the workforce and a number of employers report that impending retirements are a significant issue for them in terms of anticipated openings in the future. Applied Development Economics | Page 24 Figure 2 – Labor Force Age Distribution (Persons 16 and Over) Source: Applied Development Economics, based on US Census ACS Public Use Microdata 2012-2014 from iPUMS As shown in Figure 3, younger age groups tend to have a higher proportion of Latino workers while older age groups have higher percentages of white workers. Of the labor force between 16 and 24, 57.6 percent are Latino, while 28.2 percent are White. Similarly for the 25-34 age cohort, 54.3 percent are Latino and 31.3 percent are White. At 47.6 percent of the 35 to 54 workforce, Latinos comprise the largest segment of prime working-age adults in the labor force, with Whites numbering 38.1 percent. However, Whites constitute 56.8 percent of workers 55+ years old.

At 20.7 percent of the 25-34 age cohort and 23.7 percent of the prime working age (35 to 54) labor force, non-citizens are more concentrated in these two sub-populations relative to their overall concentration level. In contrast, non-citizens comprise only 11.5 percent of the labor force between 16 and 24. Figure 4 – Labor Force By Age and By Citizenship Status (16 and over) Source: Applied Development Economics, based on US Census ACS Public Use Microdata 2012-2014 from iPUMS UNEMPLOYMENT In CCWC region, about 48 percent of the labor force is Latino, at 870,562 persons out of a labor force of 1,814,685 (see Table 11 at the end of the Chapter). Thirty-eight percent is White. Unemployment for Latino workers 25 and older is 12.4 percent compared to 8.6 percent for Whites (Table 14). Unemployment is 14.2 percent for workers in other racial and ethnic groups. Unemployment affects workers 25 and older with no college degree much more, at 13.2 percent, than those with a college degree (6.1 percent). Veterans’ unemployment level is at 8.8 percent. Disabled workers have relatively high unemployment, at slightly over 22.0 percent (Table 9). EDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENT Educational attainment in the CCWC region is slightly lower than the statewide averages, with 22 percent of workers 25 years and older not holding a high school diploma or equivalent, compared to 18.5 percent for the state as a whole. Statewide, 38.8 percent have a college degree, compared to 28.5 percent for the CCWC region. However, in the San Joaquin Valley there is a stark contrast in the educational attainment levels of the labor force when citizenship status is taken into account. Among 88.5% 79.3% 76.3% 87.2% 92.0% 81.1% 11.5% 20.7% 23.7% 12.8% 8.0% 18.9% 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% 90% 100% 16-24 25-34 35-54 55-64 65+ ALL Citizens Not Citizens Applied Development Economics | Page 26 US citizens in the CCWC workforce, only 12 percent do not have a high school diploma or GED and 33.7 percent have a college degree. However, it is important to recognize that many non-citizens have not had the same educational opportunities in their home countries and many have not achieved the equivalent of a high school diploma. As shown in Figure 5, 63 percent of the non-citizens 25 and over in the labor force have not obtained a high school diploma or a GED. Twenty percent of non-citizens in the labor force have earned a high school diploma or equivalent, which is five percentage points lower than the rate for citizens (i.e. 25.9 percent). This accounts in part for the differences in educational attainment between Latino workers and other workers in the labor force (Figure 6), as the non-citizen group is 87.1 percent Latino; slightly over 39 percent of all Latinos in the workforce have no high school diploma or GED. It is also important to note that Latinos have earned high school diplomas and GEDs at rates slightly surpassing Whites and Others, at 25.9 percent versus 24.5 percent (Whites) and 21.7 percent (Others). However, Whites and Others are over two times more likely than Latinos to have earned a college degree: 14.9 percent of the Latinos in the labor force have earned a college degree versus 40 percent for Whites and 41 percent for Others (Figure 6). Figure 5 – Labor Force Educational Attainment by Citizenship Status (25 and over) Source: Applied Development Economics, based on US Census ACS Public Use Microdata 2012-2014 from iPUMS . Educational attainment also affects employment status. Persons with no high school diploma exhibit rates of unemployment that more than double unemployment levels for persons with a college degree, or 15.8 percent versus 6.1 percent. Of the persons with a college degree, almost 68 percent work full- time, resulting in a full-time employment rate that is 18 percentage points greater than the rate for persons without a high school diploma (i.e. 68.3 percent versus 50.0 percent). 11.5% 25.9% 28.9% 33.7% 62.8% 20.3% 9.0% 7.9% 22.0% 24.8% 24.9% 28.4% 0.0% 10.0% 20.0% 30.0% 40.0% 50.0% 60.0% 70.0% No HS HS Some College College Degree Citizens Not Citizens All Applied Development Economics | Page 27 Figure 6 – Educational Attainment by Race/Ethnicity Source: Applied Development Economics, based on US Census ACS Public Use Microdata 2012-2014 from iPUMS Figure 7 – Employment Status By Educational Attainment Source: Applied Development Economics, based on US Census ACS Public Use Microdata 2012-2014 from iPUMS 22.0% 24.8% 24.9% 28.4% 5.7% 24.5% 30.2% 39.6% 39.2% 25.9% 20.0% 14.9% 11.9% 21.7% 25.6% 40.8% 0% 5% 10% 15% 20% 25% 30% 35% 40% 45% No HS HS Some College College All White Latino Other 61.4% 27.4% 11.2% 50.0% 34.2% 15.8% 60.9% 26.2% 13.0% 64.1% 24.9% 11.0% 68.3% 25.6% 6.1% 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% Full-Time Part-Time Unemployed All No HS HS\GED Some College College Applied Development Economics | Page 28 Veterans in CCWC region tend to have high levels of overall educational attainment, with 3.5 percent not achieving a high school diploma (Figure 8). For the workforce as a whole, 22.0 percent do not have a high school diploma or equivalent degree. Among disabled workers, however, nearly 264.5 percent do not have a high school diploma. Figure 8 – Educational Attainment for Disabled Workers and Veterans Source: Applied Development Economics, based on US Census ACS Public Use Microdata 2012-2014 from iPUMS UNDERUTILIZED WORKFORCE This part of report provides a focus on part time and unemployed labor force in terms of how their educational attainment and prior occupational background matches projected annual job openings. Figure 9 reproduces the major categories of job openings listed earlier in Table 8. The largest numbers of openings are in lower skilled occupations such as farming, food service, sales and administrative office occupations. However, significant number so openings are also projected in education, production, healthcare practitioners and personal care services, which are followed closely by management and healthcare positions. Comparing these categories to the availability of currently unemployed and part time workers in Figure 10, there are substantial numbers of workers who would seemingly be available to fill these positions. However, they may need training to help upgrade their skill sets or they may need other services to help them be available for full time employment. 22.0% 24.8% 24.9% 28.4% 24.5% 25.9% 26.7% 22.9% 3.5% 22.5% 36.4% 37.7% 0% 5% 10% 15% 20% 25% 30% 35% 40% No HS HS\GED Some College College Total Disabled Veterans Applied Development Economics | Page 29 Figure 9 – Annual Openings By Major Occupational Groups Source: ADE, Inc., based on data provided by EMSI. Figure 11 groups job openings by three main categories of occupational level: managers and supervisory personnel; workers with specialty or higher level skills; and support positions that are more entry level or have a lower required skill set. At this level, the unemployed and part time workforce combined exceeds the available openings (shown in blue) for each category, reinforcing the notion that retraining and skills transfer may help improve the availability of workers for positions in demand by employers. 129 195 256 323 321 824 1,132 1,308 1,335 1,626 1,650 1,737 1,726 1,767 1,713 2,298 3,087 4,952 5,934 6,281 6,333 6,337 0 2000 4000 6000 8000 23 Legal 27 Arts, Enter., Media 19 Life, Physical, Social Sci 15 Computer and Math 17 Architecture and Engin. 21 Community, Social Svc. 13 Business and Financial Op 37 Building and Maintenance 33 Protective Service 11 Management 49 Installation, Maint, Repair 39 Personal Care 51 Production 31 Healthcare Support 47 Construction and Extraction 29 Healthcare Practitioners 25 Education, Training, Library 53 Transport., Material Moving 43 Office and Admin.

Figure 12 shows the educational level for the unemployed and part time workforce, categorized by occupational background. This figure tracks all unemployed and part-time workers, not just those who minimally qualify for the annually open positions. There are relatively few managers who have not achieved a high school diploma and the greatest number do have a high school diploma; of the 120,528 persons with no high school diploma, 6,055 (5 percent) are managers. Interestingly, the 6,055 managers with no high school diploma represent 17 percent of all managers (6,055 out of 35,006), although more than likely these persons hold lower-level managerial positions. Among mid- level workers with some special skills, most have either a college degree (55,594), or have had some college courses (45,020). Almost 28,077 workers who most recently worked in support positions also have a college degree. 143 101 43 542 129 218 770 3,342 1,391 982 1,683 3,600 3,447 2,113 7,322 521 2,351 15,468 12,889 6,416 9,087 7,814 645 1,096 466 733 443 1,467 2,597 10,387 3,875 4,497 4,182 14,881 5,983 5,324 12,481 7,731 25,120 27,840 31,743 27,993 18,102 25,382 0 5000 10000 15000 20000 25000 30000 35000 23 Legal 27 Arts, Enter., Media 19 Life, Physical, Social Sci 15 Computer and Math 17 Architecture and Engin. 21 Community, Social Svc. 13 Business and Financial Op 37 Building and Maintenance 33 Protective Service 11 Management 49 Installation, Maint, Repair 39 Personal Care 51 Production 31 Healthcare Support 47 Construction and Extraction 29 Healthcare Practitioners 25 Education, Training, Library 53 Transport., Material Moving 43 Office and Admin.

CCWC region is expected to grow modestly from now to 2025, although analysts project a number of sectors (Construction, Health, Logistics, Professional, Scientific and Technical Services, Administrative Support, Education, Health Care and Food Services) to exceed this overall annual growth rate. However, qualified workers are in short supply for certain key job categories. Based on the analysis presented in this report and discussions with key employers and workforce training organizations, the following can be identified as potential priorities for additional training efforts.

We have copied the items David Shinder provided and have inserted narrative and references from the report where appropriate. Please let us know if anything further is needed. A. Regional Economic and Background Analysis i. Provide a regional analysis of economic conditions including existing and emerging in- demand industry sectors and occupations, and employment needs of employers in existing and emerging in-demand industry sectors and occupations. A local area may use an existing analysis, which is a timely current description of the regional economy, to meet the foregoing requirements. The CCWC region has had a relatively slow recovery from the Great Recession. Before the recession, total jobs in the region peaked at 1,361,550 in 2007 and did not reach that level again until 2014. The annual average number of jobs in 2015 is estimated at 1,405,122. Through 2008, total jobs in the region were growing at a 1.4 annual percentage rate, while since 2008 the number of jobs has grown at a much lower 0.5 percent per year. Farm employment, which constitutes 14 percent of total employment and is the largest industry cluster in the region, grew at a 2.2 percent annual rate between 2010 and 2015 but is projected to increase at a slower rate of 0.5 percent over the next ten years. Much of the agricultural job growth is projected in farm support (NAICS 115), especially from farm labor contractors (NAICS 115115). A number of factors affect farm employment including availability of water and continued mechanization of farming operations, accelerated by increased cost of labor due to the new state minimum wage. Manufacturing industries in CCWC region are mainly in food processing. Manufacturing jobs increased by more than 5,100 jobs between 2010 and 2015, from 101,451 in 2010 to 105,607 in 2015. This sector is expected to slow its growth over the next ten years, adding about 7,000 jobs. Within A p p l i e d D e v e l o p m e n t E c o n o m i c s | P a g e 2 manufacturing, food processing (NAICS 311-312) is expected to increase annually by 0.8 percent between 2015 and 2025. Overall, food processing is projected to grow by more than 5,700 jobs in the coming ten years, led by food manufacturing industries such as animal slaughtering (NAICS 311611), meat processed from carcasses (NAICS 311612), perishable prepared foods (NAICS 311991) and wineries (NAICS 312130). A number of non-food processing manufacturing industries are also projected to produce new jobs. Paint and coatings (NAICS 325510), plastics pipe and pipe fittings (NAICS 326122), urethane ad other foam products (NAICS 326150), glass products (NAICS 327215), fabricated structural metal (NAICS 332312) and search and detection instruments (NAICS 334511) are projected to have a combined growth of 1,825 jobs between 2015 and 2025. Along with manufacturing and food production, the logistics sector is projected to add 22,000 jobs in the CCWC region between 2015 and 2025. This includes wholesale, warehousing and transportation jobs. Some of this growth reflects development of major consumer products wholesale distribution at both the northern and southern ends of the San Joaquin Valley serving the San Francisco and Los Angeles metropolitan areas. The construction industry continued to grow coming out of the recession over the past five years, and is projected to grow over the next ten years as well. Residential construction (NAICS 236116), residential remodelers (NAICS 236118), electrical and plumbing specialties (NAICS 238210 and 238220) and water and sewer line construction (NAICS 237110) are expected to grow during this period, which is consistent with expected population growth for the region over the next ten years. In addition, the High Speed Rail (HSR) project and a variety of highway improvement projects are projected to add significant heavy construction jobs in the region. The HSR project is estimate to support an average of nearly 3,000 jobs over the ten year period to 2025, with peaks of 6,000 jobs during the height of construction. The Health Services sector is projected to see strong employment growth over the next ten years. This is a consistent finding throughout the state as well as nationally and reflects both demographic trends with the aging Baby Boomer population as well as industry trends to institute managed care with more outpatient and home health care. Employment in Health Services is projected to grow to 241,950 in 2025 from 192,884 in 2015, for an annual rate of growth of 2.8 percent. Another population based trend is the increase in retail and food services jobs. Both these sectors have been recovering from the recession over the past five years, and are projected to see more moderate growth over the next ten years. ii. Provide an analysis of the knowledge and skills needed to meet the employment needs of the employers in the region, including employment needs in in-demand industry sectors and occupations. More than 51,200 average annual openings are projected between 2015 and 2025 (512,600 total openings), of which approximately 21,000 annual openings would be due to new job growth. The projections of job openings show a concentration in transportation and materials handling (4,900 A p p l i e d D e v e l o p m e n t E c o n o m i c s | P a g e 3 annual openings), food services and retail (12,600 combined annual openings), office and admin support (5,900 annual openings) and farm occupations (6,300 annual openings). The minimum educational requirements listed by the Department of Labor for more than three- quarters of the openings do not exceed a high school diploma. However, nearly 4,000 openings per year require more than a high school diploma, though less than a four year BA degree. This includes about 700 openings that require specialized training beyond high school, though not necessarily a certificate or AA degree. Of these jobs, 572 are teaching assistants and 105 are computer support specialists. Nearly 1,400 annual opening are for jobs that do require a certificate in a specialized area of training. The largest occupational groups in this category include medical assistants (348 annual openings) and licensed practical and vocational nurses (308 openings per year). Other occupations requiring a certificate with 90-100 annual projected openings include dental assistants, emergency medical technician and paramedics, firefighters, supervisors of production and operating line workers, and heating, air conditioning and refrigeration mechanics. About 2,000 projected openings per year would require an AA degree. The largest occupational group in this category is nurse practitioners (560 annual openings), followed by registered nurses (430 annual openings) and preschool teachers (203 annual openings). Another 331 projected annual openings are in other medical occupations, such as clinical technicians, health diagnosing support personnel, and respiratory therapists. The remaining openings in this category include a wide range of technical specialties including engineering and drafting technicians, agriculture and food science technicians and radio and telecommunications equipment installers. iii. Provide an analysis of the regional workforce, including current labor force employment and unemployment data, information on labor market trends, and educational and skill levels of the workforce, including individuals with barriers to employment. The region unemployment rate declined to 9.9 percent in 2015, down from the peak of 16.5 percent in 2010, but still well above the low point before the recession of 7.9 percent in 2006. While job levels have been increasing since 2010, the size of the labor force peaked in 2012 at 1,843,740, then declined to 1,840,270 by 2014 and finally increased slightly to 1,840,828 in 2015. Household population growth in the San Joaquin Valley exceeded statewide growth rates between 2011 and 2013, but has slowed in the past two years. CCWC region is projected to grow significantly faster than the state as a whole over the next five years (2015-2020), which will have implications for some employment sectors such as health care, retail, and local services. In CCWC region, about 48 percent of the labor force is Latino, at 870,562 persons out of a labor force of 1,814,685, while 38 percent is White. Unemployment for Latino workers 25 and older is 12.4 percent compared to 8.6 percent for Whites. Unemployment is 14.2 percent for workers in other racial and ethnic groups. Unemployment affects workers 25 and older with no college degree much more, at 13.2 percent, than those with a college degree (6.1 percent). Veterans’ unemployment level is at 8.8 percent. Disabled workers have relatively high unemployment, at slightly over 22.0 percent. A p p l i e d D e v e l o p m e n t E c o n o m i c s | P a g e 4 The labor force in CCWC region is fairly evenly concentrated among the age groups. Workers in the 16-24 age group are about 16.6 percent of the total while nearly 25 percent are in the 25-34 age group. The prime working age group of 35-54 has 41 percent of the workforce. Workers over 55 constitute about 16.9 percent of the workforce and a number of employers report that impending retirements are a significant issue for them in terms of anticipated openings in the future. Non-citizen workers constitute 18.9 percent of the workforce in CCWC region, though the rate varies with age. At 23.7 percent of the prime working age (35 to 54) labor force, non-citizens are more concentrated in this age cohort relative to their overall concentration level. Educational attainment in the CCWC region is slightly lower than the statewide averages, with 22 percent of workers 25 years and older not holding a high school diploma or equivalent, compared to 18.5 percent for the state as a whole. Statewide, 38.8 percent have a college degree, compared to 28.5 percent for the CCWC region. However, in the San Joaquin Valley there is a stark contrast in the educational attainment levels of the labor force when citizenship status is taken into account. Among US citizens in the CCWC workforce, only 12 percent do not have a high school diploma or GED and 33.7 percent have a college degree. Non-citizens 25 and over exhibit high rates of less than high school attainment level: 62.8 percent of the non-citizens in the labor force have not obtained a high school diploma or a GED. This accounts in part for the differences in educational attainment between Latino workers and other workers in the labor force, as the non-citizen group is 87.1 percent Latino. Overall, Latinos have earned high school diplomas and GEDs at rates slightly surpassing Whites and Others, at 25.9 percent versus 24.5 percent (Whites) and 21.7 percent (Others). However, Whites and Others are over two and a half times more likely than Latinos to have earned a college degree: 14.9 percent of the Latinos in the labor force have earned a college degree versus 39.6 percent for Whites and 40.8 percent for others. Veterans in CCWC region tend to have high levels of overall educational attainment, with 3.5 percent not achieving a high school diploma. Among disabled workers, however, 24.5 percent do not have a high school diploma, compared to 22 percent for the workforce as a whole. iv. Provide an analysis of workforce development activities, including education and training, in the region. This analysis must include the strengths and weaknesses of workforce development activities and capacity to provide the workforce development activities to address the education and skill needs of the workforce, including individuals with barriers to employment, and the employment needs of employers. A significant share of the California population is foreign born, including several million individuals in the workforce who are limited English proficient. The following counties have a workforce that is at least 15 percent limited English proficient: Imperial, Monterey, San Benito, Los Angeles, Tulare, Merced, Santa Clara, Madera, Fresno, Orange, San Joaquin, San Mateo, Santa Barbara, Kern, Kings, Alameda, San Francisco, Napa, Stanislaus, San Bernardino, Ventura, Riverside, San Diego, Yolo, Sutter, Contra Costa, and Sacramento. RPUs containing one or more of these counties must assess and specify in their regional plans how they will address the needs of and provide services to those who are limited English proficient. A p p l i e d D e v e l o p m e n t E c o n o m i c s | P a g e 5 These RPUs are required to provide an assessment of the need to provide services to and how services will be provided to limited English proficient individuals. [Note: ADE’s analysis pertains to non-citizens but does not separate out workers with limited English proficiency]. B. Required Content on Regional Sector Pathways i. A description of the way planning partners, including local economic development agencies, assessed regional industry workforce needs, including a description of the data sources utilized, the industry leaders engaged, and the manner in which industry engagement took place, including a summary of any relevant convening activities, the dates partners met, who attended, and what was decided.

Data Note: Numbers may not add due to suppression. Location quotients (LQs) are ratios that allow a Regional Planning Unit (RPU)’s distribution of employment for an industry to be compared to California’s distribution of employment for the same industry. Specifically, LQs are calculated by first dividing RPU industry employment by the all industry total of RPU employment. Second, California industry employment is divided by the all industry total for California. Finally, the RPU ratio (first calculation) is divided by the California ratio (second calculation). If an LQ is equal to 1, then the industry has the same share of RPU employment as it does in California. An LQ greater than 1 indicates an industry with a greater share of RPU employment than is the case statewide. 3 Demand Industry Sectors Top Demand Industry Sub Sector Total Projected Job Openings 2012-2022 Location Quotient Support Activities for Crop Production 53,533 6.7 Restaurants and Other Eating Places 50,829 0.9 Elementary and Secondary Schools 35,929 1.5 Individual and Family Services 20,045 0.9 General Medical and Surgical Hospitals 18,716 1.1 Employment Services 14,915 0.8 Offices of Physicians 13,370 1.0 Grocery Stores 11,199 1.0 Other General Merchandise Stores 9,151 1.2 Fruit and Tree Nut Farming 8,615 4.8 Source: Employment Development Department, Labor Market Information Division.

This document is designed for double-sided printing. Labor Market Overview, Central Valley/Mother Lode Region Center of Excellence – Central Valley/Mother Lode Region 4 Regional Population Characteristics Residential Population The Central Valley/Mother Lode (CVML) Region consists of 15 counties: Alpine, Amador, Bakersfield, Calaveras, Fresno, Inyo, Kern, Kings, Mariposa, Merced, Mono, San Joaquin, Stanislaus, Tulare and Tuolumne. The residential population numbered close to 4.4 million in 2016, with an additional 132,440 residents projected by 2021 (Exhibit 1). Over the last five years, the CVML Region grew by 4%, somewhat slower than the state’s growth of 4.7%. The projected growth rate of 3% is also slower than in the previous five years and nearly matches the state’s projected growth rate of 3.1%. Exhibit 1: Central Valley/Mother Lode Region Population Estimates and Projections Labor Force, Civilian Employment and Unemployment The size and characteristics of a region’s labor force are important considerations in workforce planning. Labor force, employment and unemployment data are based upon “place of residence” – where people live, regardless of where they work. Individuals who have more than one job are counted only once. These data elements differ from industry employment estimates that are “place of work” based – where the employer/workplace is located, regardless of where the employee resides. For terms and definitions, see Appendix A. Since 2011, the CVML regional labor force has increased in size by 51,960 persons, indicating an entrance of working age individuals into the workforce of 3%. Total employment increased by 177,690 persons (Exhibit 2). Because total employment increased more than the labor force, the unemployment rate decreased from 17% in 2011 (compared to 11.5% statewide) to 10% in 2016 (compared to 5.2% statewide).

The total Hispanic population in the region is projected to reach 52% by 2021, an increase of two percentage points from 2016 (Exhibit 3). Exhibit 3: Ethnicity/Race Changes, 2011-2016 Educational Attainment Postsecondary educational attainment in the region is lower than statewide and nationwide rates in every category except for “some college” and associate degree (Exhibit 4). Only 16% of the adult population holds a bachelor’s or graduate degree, compared to 30% statewide and 29% nationwide. Within the CVML Region, 54% of the population has a high school diploma or less, compared to 40% statewide and 43% nationwide.

Only 12% of the Hispanic population earned a college degree (associate degree or higher), compared to 32% of the non-Hispanic population (Exhibit 5). Conversely, 46% of the Hispanic population did not complete high school, compared to 13% of the non-Hispanic population. Exhibit 5: 2016 Hispanic/Non-Hispanic Educational Attainment Industry Employment Employment Composition The Central Valley/Mother Lode Region had nearly 1.7 million jobs as of April 2016. In Exhibit 6, this employment is distributed into eight major industrial groupings. The largest shares of employment are attributed to retail trade and hospitality, public administration, health care and social assistance, and agriculture. These are followed by manufacturing as well as wholesale trade, transportation and warehousing. The smallest shares of employment that are aggregated within the “other” category represent regional non-priority industry groups with less than 5% of the total jobs in the region.

Major growth is projected in HMOs, home health care services and services for the elderly and persons with disabilities. Although child day care services have the fifth largest number of jobs, there is an expected 7% decline over the next five-year period. Overall, this sector is projected to grow by 13%, adding 27,190 new positions by 2021 (Exhibit 7).

The minimum education requirement was a high school diploma or vocational certificate*, or associate degree; 2. The job posting was listed within the last 12 months (May 1, 2015 - April 30, 2016); and, 3. The job posting indicated the position was physically located in one of the region’s 15 counties. There were 54,748 job postings identified as possible matches. Almost one-fifth of the postings were for nurses. Exhibit 11 shows the top 20 job posting titles during the one-year period (accounting for 52% of the postings). Registered nurse was the only occupation showing a significant demand in terms of total job postings. Industries with the most job postings include health care and social services (28%); retail trade (14%); education services (10%); manufacturing (7%); and professional, scientific and technical services (5%).

Over the next five years, the region is projected to undergo modest growth (3%), adding more than 132,000 new residents to its population of 4.4 million. From 2011 to 2016, the unemployment rate dropped from 17% to 10% as the labor force expanded by nearly 52,000 workers. Educational attainment in the region lags behind state and national averages. While 30% of the nation’s population holds a bachelor’s degree, only 16% of the subregion’s population holds a bachelor’s or graduate degree, and 54% has a high school diploma or less. In addition, educational attainment is substantially lower for Hispanic residents, with 46% of the Hispanic population not having completed high school. The Central Valley/Mother Lode Region has nearly 1.7 million jobs. The subregion’s top four industries with the greatest number of jobs are retail trade and hospitality (19%), public administration (18%), health care and social assistance (13%) and agriculture (13%). The study also examined employment and job projections for four major sectors in the subregion: health care and social assistance, retail, manufacturing and agriculture. With nearly 209,000 jobs, the health care and social assistance sector leads the subregion in projected growth and new positions. This sector is expected to expand by 13% in the next five years, adding 27,190 positions. With the addition of 11,011 jobs, the retail sector is projected to expand by 6%. Manufacturing and agriculture are projected to undergo slight growth at 2% and 3% respectively, adding 2,586 and 5,850 positions. Occupational areas that are expected to add the most jobs include: Services for the elderly and persons with disabilities (12,082 new positions) Farm labor contractors and crew leaders (8,736) Warehouse clubs and supercenters (4,073) Home health care services (2,510) Based on job posting data, the occupations most in demand are registered nurses, retail salespersons, first-line supervisors of retail sales workers and customer service representatives. Communication, physical demand, customer service and writing are the baselines skills most highly sought by employers. Scheduling and sales are specialized skills also frequently requested in job postings. Labor Market Overview, Central Valley/Mother Lode Region Center of Excellence – Central Valley/Mother Lode Region 15 Appendix A: Sources, Terms and Definitions This labor market report was prepared for the Central Regional Consortium by the Central Valley/Mother Lode California Center of Excellence (COE), an initiative of the California Community Colleges Economic and Workforce Development program. Data Sources Population estimates and projections: Economic Modeling Specialists Inc. (EMSI), http://www.economicmodeling.com/ Educational attainment: Economic Modeling Specialists Inc.

(EMSI), http://www.economicmodeling.com/ Job posting data: Burning Glass, http://www.burning-glass.com/ Living wage calculator: http://livingwage.mit.edu/states/06/locations Related Terms and Definitions The civilian labor force is the sum of civilian employment and civilian unemployment. Civilians, as defined, are age 16 years or older, not members of the military, and are not in institutions such as prisons, mental hospitals, or nursing homes. Civilian employment includes all individuals who worked at least one hour for a wage or salary, or were self-employed, or were working at least 15 unpaid hours in a family business or on a family farm, during the week including the 12th of the month. Those who were on vacation, on other kinds of leave, or involved in a labor dispute, were also counted as employed. Civilian unemployment includes those individuals who were not working but were able, available, and actively looking for work during the week including the 12th of the month. Individuals who were waiting to be recalled from a layoff and individuals waiting to report to a new job within 30 days were also considered to be unemployed. Wages Family Compositions: The living wage calculator estimates the living wage needed to support families. For single adult families, the adult is assumed to be employed full time. For two adult families where both adults are in the labor force, both adults are assumed to be employed full time. For two adult families where one adult is not in the labor force, one of the adults is assumed to be employed full time while the other non-wage-earning adult provides full-time child care for the family’s children. Full-time work is assumed to be year-round, 40 hours per week for 52 weeks, per adult. Families with one child are assumed to have a ‘young child’ (4 years old). Families with two children are assumed to have a ‘young child’ and a ‘child’ (9 years old). Families with three children are assumed to have a ‘young child,’ a ‘child,’ and a ‘teenager’ (15 years old).

Vision, goals, and strategy of the Local Board and its partners, including: 1. A description of the Local Board’s strategic vision to support regional economic growth and economic self-sufficiency. This must include goals for preparing an educated and skilled workforce (including youth and individuals with barriers to employment), and goals relating to the performance accountability measures based on WIOA performance indicators described in 20 Code of Federal Regulations Notice of Proposed Rulemaking 677.155(a)(1). Vision, goals, and strategy must be linked to the analytical background information. On May 19, 2009 the County of Fresno and the City of Fresno entered into a Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) to administer Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) funds within Fresno County. The County and the City jointly charged the Fresno Regional Workforce Development Board (FRWDB) with implementing strategies and programs to meet the employment and training needs of Fresno businesses and job seekers. In compliance with this mandate, the FRWDB adopted the vision that “Business is our Primary Customer.” In doing so, the FRWDB has acknowledged that the best way to serve our job seekers is to understand and support the needs of our businesses. To implement this FRWDB continuously scans the employment and training needs of business - not only in Fresno, but regionally across the San Joaquin Valley. The private sector appointments to the FRWDB Board of Directors are representative of the high-demand growth industries within our region; including healthcare, construction/trades, and manufacturing. Other appointment categories to the FRWDB Board of Directors represent education, economic development, local government, state agencies, and organized labor. All FRWDB Directors must serve on a FRWDB Committee (Adult, Youth, Business and Industry, or FRWDB Executive). Our FRWDB Committees evaluate detailed One-Stop System data and continuously drive for systems improvement. The FRWDB is at the forefront of community efforts to ascertain and respond to workforce issues in Fresno County. Deep experience in the field, extensive local and regional partnerships, and creative thought leadership all come together to positively position the FRWDB to respond to business needs as a community leader and convener. The FRWDB’s role as a convener and leader is reflected by its support of innovative workforce initiatives, ranging from programs that address specific needs of our diverse population to recognizing the demand for career technical education leading to stackable credentials. All meeting industry demand for a skilled workforce if we are doing our job right. Page 2 of 292 The FRWDB’s drive for local excellence has led it to spearhead a number of valley-wide job training initiatives, specifically in the areas of manufacturing and public infrastructure construction. Utilizing funding from the State of California and the United States Department of Labor, and with FRWDB acting as fiscal and administrative agent, focused recruitment, assessment and training is taking place in those two (2) key industry sectors across the eight (8) valley counties stretching from San Joaquin in the North to Kern in the South. 2. Taking into account analyses described above, provide a strategy to work with the entities that carry out the core programs and other required partners to align resources available to the local area, to achieve the strategic vision of the local plan. The FRWDB has a strong relationship with its WIOA partners within the One- Stop System and continues to strengthen its relationships with other community partners servicing Fresno County. The FRWDB is taking the following steps to align resources and services in the coming years: The vision and programmatic elements outlined in this Plan are being shared with partners and will be reviewed, revised, and jointly implemented by the FRWDB One-Stop System. Formula funds and special grant funds will be set aside to support the expanded our roster of services, including services to individuals with barriers to employment, incumbent workers, and English as a Second Language training programs within the One-Stop System. B. Local program alignment to implement State Plan policy strategies. 1. Provide a description of the workforce development system in the local area that identifies programs included in the system. The design of the One-Stop delivery system was developed by all of the required partners and is continually assessed for improvements. The participant flow within the One-Stop System starts with Basic Career Services, and proceeds through Individualized Career and Training Services based on the individual needs of each participant. All designed to assist these clients in achieving success and becoming self-sufficient. As prescribed by the WIOA, the One-Stop delivery system in Fresno County is comprised of the mandatory One-Stop partners and services. Optional partners may be added to meet local needs. Partners are committed to the state's vision of a One-Stop that is participant focused, performance-based, accountable to each other, and that meets the local needs of participants and employers. The FRWDB’s goal is to offer access to all services, high-quality job training, and workforce education programs through Fresno County's One-Stop System. Throughout the county, we maintain six (6) One-Stop access locations to serve the entire urban and rural populations: One (1) comprehensive center in the city of Fresno, where the majority of our partners are co-located, and five (5) affiliate sites, located in the cities of Reedley, Selma, Coalinga, Mendota and Firebaugh. Page 3 of 292 Comprehensive Center Accessible to the general public during regular business hours. Physically and programmatically accessible to individuals with disabilities and individuals with little or no English proficiency. Basic and Individualized Career Services and Training Services. Access to programs and activities provided by WIOA mandated partners, including employment services authorized under the Wagner-Peyser. Affiliate Locations Accessible to general public and physically and programmatically accessible to individuals with disabilities and individuals with little or no English proficiency. Basic and Individualized Career Services and Training Services. Representation of one (1) or more mandated WIOA partner, either physically or through direct linkage. All partners are not physically in all locations due to manpower and resource constraints. However, all One-Stop locations utilize our partner referral and co- enrollment process that allows a virtual One-Stop delivery system. A list of all One-Stop locations in Fresno County is provided in Attachment II. The delivery system is based on the “one-stop” concept, where information about, and access to, a wide array of job training, education, and employment services is available for participants at a single location where they will be able to easily access needed services. The FRW DB tracks all participants’ usages and referrals through our I-Train common intake case management system. This is critical to ensure that the FRW DB can analyze and respond to additional resources that may be needed by our participants. Self-service and informational activity accessed through Basic Career Services requires minimal registration and is universally available. Participants with a solid work history and no self-disclosed employment barriers will be referred to Basic Career Services that provide resource room services, activities, and assistance from the One-Stop Contract Coordinator specialist. A “Self-Reliance Team”, which is comprised of One-Stop staff and WIOA partner staff from at least one (1) of the partners (State of California Employment Development Department (EDD), Fresno County Department of Social Services, or the Department of Rehabilitation) is responsible for interviewing participants who have requested Individualized Career or Training services. The purpose of this interview is to review the current situation of the participant and provide the best possible referral(s) to assist them in upgrading their current position or obtaining employment. Through the One-Stop, employers have a single point of contact to list job openings and provide information about current and future skills needed for their workforce. They will benefit from a single system for finding a qualified workforce that meets their needs. Page 4 of 292 Sector One-Stops As part of this model, the FRWDB is developing innovative strategies by revising its provision of One-Stop services to include specialized sector One-Stops for locally-identified demand sectors. Under the initial implementation of this model, the FRWDB will focus on Healthcare, Manufacturing, Trades, and Government. The first sector One-Stop is for the Government sector, which opened its doors to provide services in December 2015. Sector-based orientations are provided at the comprehensive One-Stop location to provide information on the various occupations in demand sectors. Information such as wages, minimum hiring requirements, the application process, and how to access services at the specialized sector One-Stops based on their career goal is provided at the orientations. These sector One-Stops will be staffed with specially trained dedicated staff who are experts in the sector, knowledgeable in labor market information, and understand the minimum qualifications, training opportunities, application process, and interview process for a particular sector. 2. Identify how the Local Board will support the seven policies identified in the State Plan and will work with the entities carrying out core programs and other workforce development programs, including programs of study authorized under the Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Act of 2006 (20 U.S.C. 2301 et seq.) to support service alignment and implement the policy strategies emphasized in the State Plan (the seven strategies are sector strategies, career pathways, organizing regionally, earn and learn, supportive services, building cross system data capacity, integrating services and braiding resources). i. Sector Strategies (including regional) As stated above, the FRWDB has developed innovative strategies by revising its provision of One-Stop services to include specialized sector One-Stops for locally-identified demand sectors. Under the initial implementation of this model, the FRWDB will focus on Healthcare, Manufacturing, Trades, and Government. The first sector One-Stop is for the Government sector, which opened its doors to provide services in December 2015 with additional sector One-Stops for Healthcare, Manufacturing and Trades to open in 2017 and 2018. In addition, the FRWDBs Business and Workforce Consultants (BWC) will outreach to sector employers to strengthen business relationships, act as a clearinghouse of information on data and research, and solicit feedback to enhance quality services for the benefit of the business community and job seekers. The BWCs will work directly with their sector employers to gauge a broad range of employer needs including recruitment and placement services, On-the-Job Training (OJT) for new employees and incumbent worker training for their current workforce and referrals to Page 5 of 292 appropriate resource to assist them in business growth and employee retention. ii. Career Pathways (including regional) Building on the sector approach described in the Regional Plan, the FRWDB will identify career pathways associated with the identified priority sectors. As part of the career pathway development, the FRWDB will detail training and credentialing opportunities, broker co-enrollment possibilities, and work to identify financial resources and the support to allow WIOA program participants to pursue these pathways. The FRWDB is committed to providing targeted access to our WIOA participants for employment in high-growth, high-wage employment. The FRWDB has adopted a local sector strategy targeting six (6) high -growth and/or high-wage industry sectors: Healthcare, Trades, Manufacturing/ Water Technology, Government, Logistics/Distribution and the cross sector occupation of Information Technology. Periodic employment surveys are conducted by the FRWDB to identify and evaluate the current hiring and skills needs within these industries. As business needs evolve, the FRWDB will continue to assist businesses with retaining and growing jobs in Fresno County. In conjunction with the Regional Plan on-ramps, the FRWDB will utilize a career pathways training model that focuses on a mix of job readiness and the ability to attain industry-recognized certificates, education, or degrees needed for employer-vetted occupations in targeted industry priority/emerging clusters. This mix will be vetted by employers and rely on a mix of tools with the goal of preparing the workforce to meet and exceed employers’ requirements. Examples include: Stackable educational/training options Accelerated/integrated education and training Industry-recognized credentials Basic skills training Soft skills Job readiness Vocational English as a Second Language OJT, registered apprenticeships, internships, and other Earn and Learn models The future strategy for outreach to our sectors will be to: Continually assess workforce needs to prepare and train participants to meet those needs Create or continue pilots within each sector to gain critical mass in sector penetration, as appropriate Page 6 of 292 Develop sector career ladder and align these with the efforts of education partners, in conjunction with regional and local priorities Continually evaluate service to enhance service offering. Through the Slingshot and Prop 39 grants, the FRWDB is working with Local Workforce Development Boards and community colleges in the Central Valley RPU, to develop employer driven curriculum and training programs for career pathways in the Manufacturing and Construction and Trades occupational sectors. iii. Organizing Regionally The Central Valley has a long history of regional partnerships beginning with the Private Industry Council, Fresno County has been an active member of the Central California Workforce Collaborative (CCWC), which is comprised of eight Local Workforce Development Areas, including San Joaquin, Stanislaus, Merced, Madera, Kings, Tulare, Kern/Inyo/Mono. For more than 25 years Fresno County Workforce staff has actively participated in monthly meetings to share best practices, conduct reginal procurements and compete and administer competitive regional grants, which included two (2) direct Governor Discretionary Grants to support the development of the regional workforce development. The CCWC also has a representative on the Board of Directors of the California Partnership for the San Joaquin Valley. The FRWDB has managed multiple regional grants within the eight county regions, including the Slingshot and Prop 39 grant funded projects, which include working with the Fresno, Madera, Kings, Tulare Building Trades Council and various community colleges throughout the region to provide training in the Public Infrastructure and Manufacturing sectors The FRWDB activity participates in planning sessions with local and regional community college districts and Adult Education consortiums for the development of service local and regional plans such as the Central/Mother Lode Regional Consortiums Strong Workforce plan. iv. Earn and Learn The FRWDB has developed “Earn and Learn” work-based learning strategies that are designed to assist individuals with barriers to employment to gain relevant skills to assist them in obtaining employment in high wage sector occupations. These strategies include a focus on the development of industry recognized post-secondary credentials, career pathways, and enhanced connections to registered apprenticeship. Work- Based Learning includes OJT, apprenticeship, and work experiences and internships that are linked to careers. Work-based learning services may also include job shadowing and career exploration to help customers Page 7 of 292 develop skills, experience and exposure to careers or industries based on their interests and competencies. Work-based learning opportunities are marketed by FRWDB and One- Stop business service staff. Staff will pursue opportunities with employers and to development relationships with local business to identify work- based learning opportunities make appropriate referrals for work-ready participants. Through a partnership with the San Joaquin Manufacturing Alliance, Fresno County Career Technical Education / ROP and local community colleges, the FRWDB developed the Manufacturing Internship Pilot Program. This program will build a workforce-ready talent pipeline by connecting youth to the Manufacturing Industry through career exploration, classroom training and paid internships. Through the Manufacturing Internship Pilot Program youth will complete an in-depth screening process, which includes an interview with manufacturing employers, soft skills evaluation, drug-screening and background checks. Participants selected through the pre-screening process complete paid work experience with local employers, two (2) semesters of Manufacturing training and an externship upon completion of the classroom training. Upon completion of the training program, youth will be provided with employment opportunities in various occupations in the Manufacturing sector. The FRWDB plans to expand this model to other sector industries in 2017 and 2018. In addition, the FRWDB has a long standing partnership with the local building trades’ council providing pre-apprenticeship training creating a pathway to various union apprenticeship programs. v. Supportive Services Supportive Services are provided through a multitude of sources, including WIOA-funded Supportive Services, as well as WIOA partners and other community funded Supportive Services. Supportive Services are intended to enable an individual to participate in WIOA-funded programs and activities to secure and retain employment. Supportive Services include but are not limited to: Assistance with clothing, food, housing, uniforms and tools. Transportation assistance, such as bus passes, car repair, and mileage. Needs-related services payments. The FRWDB works with One-Stop and partner staff to provide on-going training to increase knowledge regarding programs and resources Page 8 of 292 available through the One-Stop and its partner agencies, and other local community organizations. vi. Building Cross System Data Capacity The FRWDB staff utilizes a variety of sources for economic and labor market data including but not limited to, EDD LMI Data, EconoVue, EMSI and American Community Survey data and regional and local economic and skills gap analysis data collected through the Central Valley RPU regional employer survey. The FRWDB also utilizes employment data collected through periodic local employment surveys. In addition, The FRWDB Staff will continue to work with partners in attempting to solve the problem of data sharing and reporting across partners. Additionally, staff is working with existing partners on a pilot program to build cross-system data capacity. vii. Integrating Services and Braiding Resources In response to both national and state calls for increased integrated service delivery within One-Stops over the past several years, the FRWDB has been pro-actively identifying needs and implementing processes to improve efficiency of the FRWDB’s employment and training system, with a primary focus on meeting employer-driven demand. The FRWDB has demonstrated a capacity to help create a competitive employment and training system designed to meet the needs of participants and the talent needs for employers. The demonstrated value of the FRWDB includes: A depth and diversity of partnerships. Experience and depth with industry sector initiatives. Diversity and depth of work with a variety of public and private training providers. Expertise and success with placement of diverse and hard-to-serve participants. High standards of grant management for both state and federal competitive funding. The funding for the FRWDB’s One-Stop system is provided through WIOA programs for adults, dislocated workers and youth. The system also includes numerous partners and programs that contribute both financially and through in-kind services to provide effective employment and training services to WIOA participants. In order to improve customer-centered service delivery and braid partner resources, the FRWDB began working with WIOA partners for the development and implementation of an integrated service delivery model. Page 9 of 292 The key components will include: Organization of staff around functions and participant needs. Functional leadership and supervision to support functional teams. Co-enrollment of participants. Electronic referrals for partner services. Continuous quality improvement based on participant feedback. For staff, this means: The participants’ and employers’ needs are at the forefront. Every participant is everyone’s participant. Staff development and training opportunities to support transition to new roles under functional teams. Serving as navigators to ensure participants access services from various partners as needed. FRWDB staff will continually monitor and assess WIOA and partner initiatives to avoid duplication and to more effectively integrate services and braid resources. Participants will experience: Value-added interaction during each visit. Seamless transition between staff, programs, and/or services. “No wrong door”. C. Specific Services and Service Delivery Strategies. 1. Provide a description of the ways the Local Board will work with entities carrying out core programs to expand access to employment, training, education, and supportive services for eligible individuals, particularly eligible individuals with barriers to employment. Target populations include those listed in WIOA Section 23(a)-(m). Through the FRWDBs established MOUs with WIOA partner programs such as Department of Rehabilitation, Department of Health and Human Services and EDD Veteran Services Representative, the One Stop system provides a full range of basic career services, individualized career services and employment and training services that are accessible and meets the needs of individuals with barriers to employment. The FRWDB provides priority of services for individuals with barriers to employment and has local policies clearly defining the priority of service requirements for all adult individuals who are recipients of public assistance, low income and basic skills deficient individuals, this also includes veterans and individuals with disabilities. Access to all partner services are available either on-site at the One-Stop or via referral. The use of various technology platforms and methodologies will be used to facilitate the delivery of these services when and where appropriate and cost Page 10 of 292 effective. Customers are referred and meet with core partner staff such as Department of Rehab, Department of Social Services, EDD UI and Veterans Services and adult education partner staff, based on their individual needs. The local system provides for the co-enrollment of individuals in multiple partner programs, as needed, to assist the individual in successfully addressing employment barriers, which will result in a successful outcome (sustained employment in a demand occupation, leading to self-sufficiency) for the individual participant. All One-Stop and WIOA program staff are crossed trained in the eligibility requirements for each partner’s services in order to ensure appropriate referrals. Through on-going training, all partners will be aware of the services available under WIOA, including Basic Career Services, Individualized Career Services and Training Services. Associated with these will be the availability of Supportive Services to support job search and training activities. Individuals will be referred to appropriate partner(s) as needed. Where partners offer the same types of services as those available under WIOA, those services will be braided (without duplication) to ensure the best possible outcome for the individual, based on their specific needs. All criteria and the processes to receive these services are described in the FRWDB’s local Policies and Directives. These documents are available to partners, sub-recipients, and the public on our website, www.workforce- connection.com. 2. Provide a description of the way the Local Board will facilitate the development of career pathways and co-enrollment, as appropriate, in core programs. Building on the sector approach described in the Regional Plan, the FRWDB will identify career pathways associated with the identified priority sectors. As part of the career pathway development, the FRWDB will detail training and credentialing opportunities, broker co-enrollment possibilities, and work to identify financial resources and the support to allow WIOA program participants to pursue these pathways. The FRWDB is committed to providing targeted access to our WIOA participants for employment in high-growth, high-wage employment. The FRWDB has adopted a local sector strategy targeting six (6) high-growth and/or high-wage industry sectors: Healthcare, Trades, Manufacturing/ Water Technology, Government, Logistics/Distribution and the cross sector occupation of Information Technology. Periodic employment surveys are conducted by the FRWDB to identify and evaluate the current hiring and skills needs within these industries. As business needs evolve, the FRWDB will continue to assist businesses with retaining and growing jobs in Fresno County. In conjunction with the Regional Plan on-ramps, the FRWDB will utilize a career pathways training model that focuses on a mix of job readiness and the ability to attain industry-recognized certificates, education, or degrees needed f or employer-vetted occupations in targeted industry priority/emerging clusters. Page 11 of 292 This mix will be vetted by employers and rely on a mix of tools with the goal of preparing the workforce to meet and exceed employers’ requirements. Examples include: Stackable educational/training options Accelerated/integrated education and training Industry-recognized credentials Basic skills training Soft skills Job readiness Vocational English as a Second Language On-the-Job Training (OJT), registered apprenticeships, internships, and other Earn and Learn models The future strategy for outreach to our sectors will be to: Continually assess workforce needs to prepare and train participants to meet those needs Create or continue pilots within each sector to gain crit ical mass in sector penetration, as appropriate Develop sector career ladder and align these with the efforts of education partners, in conjunction with regional and local priorities Continually evaluate service to enhance service offering 3. Provide a description of the way the Local Board will improve access to activities leading to a recognized post-secondary credential (including a credential that is an industry-recognized certificate or certification, portable, and stackable). The FRWDB utilizes formula funding and special grants to provide training opportunities for WIOA participants. The FRWDB has also dedicated training funds specifically for Incumbent Worker Training to meet employers’ evolving needs. All training provided must be in a targeted sector or utilize current employment data to ensure the participant can obtain employment after training. The FRWDB maintains a local demand occupation list that is reviewed and updated periodically to ensure that training funds are only utilized for high- growth, high-demand industries. One of the primary vehicles for driving these access strategies are our regional workforce partnerships that create sector-based career pathways and offer tuition-free training to meet the needs of WIOA participants, incumbent workers, and employers. Rather than working in silos, training providers, economic development, industry and employers, and the workforce system will collaborate to braid public and private resources. This will allow the system to respond to employer demand and to offer innovative, evidenced-based education and job training. WIOA participants are not mandated to receive any services such as Basic or Individualized Career Services prior to being referred to Training Services. Page 12 of 292 4. Provide a description of the way Local Boards and their partners will facilitate engagement of employers in workforce development programs, including small employers and employers in in-demand industry sectors and occupations. The FRWDB local business plan vision is to continually implement a demand- driven system with business as our primary client. We will provide timely, holistic, and multi-faceted business and workplace solutions to bolster the regional prosperity of our community and, therefore, our workforce. This is accomplished by: Continually engaging multiple stakeholders, actively listening to their needs, and acting with agility and a business focus to implement solutions. Aligning our investment in the workforce and training resources to the needs of business now and with a future focus. Shifting from a recruitment strategy to a “grow your own” strategy for high priority sectors. Balancing the disparity between the skills level of the participants versus the needs of the employers. The output of this demand-driven customer model is qualified participants who are prepared for success in the workforce. Business Engagement Strategy The FRWDB engages all businesses, sector and non-sector, small and large, on initiatives regarding strategic investments in the skills of its local workforce. The FRWDB conducts and publishes periodic surveys to identify job growth and labor needs across targeted industries and to get a pulse on businesses’ barriers and expansion. We frequently bring together, or participate with existing gr oups, on employer roundtables. This includes our clients, Slingshot stakeholders, education, economic development, cluster members, grant participants, and other intermediaries, with the purpose of workforce planning as it relates to identifying the targeted industries / occupations. Through facilitated dialogue with these multiple stakeholders, and with a targeted focus on employer feedback, we review surveys to identify targeted jobs and identify required skills (soft and technical), competencies, and education. This process enables us to: Develop sector-focused staff training. Identify and utilize specialized assessments. Develop career ladders. Allocate training resources. Identify qualified training providers. Work with sector employers to vet FRWDB screening, training policies and curriculum. The FRWDB will connect to businesses through a variety of engagement strategies by leveraging relationships with a mix of internal and external stakeholders, and with a focus on the end result of preparing a q ualified, job Page 13 of 292 ready workforce. This will be accomplished through the following resources and relationships: FRWDB Business Services Staff: FRWDB Business Services staff creates high- level, long-term partnerships, collects proactive data on industry growth, and facilitates the connection between training needs and curriculum development. Business Account Specialists: Our day-to-day business support activities are conducted by Business Account Specialists (BASs). They are responsible for engaging businesses to identify current and future workforce needs. FRWDB Business and Industry Committee: The FRWDB has maintained a Business and Industry Committee (B&I) for over 17 years. The B&I adopted its strategic business plan to ensure that we have measurable, aggressive business services goals, which is reviewed annually. Sector Driven Engagement Adopting sector partnerships to enhance service delivery continues to be a critical part of the FRWDB’s engagement strategy. This includes a focus on efforts and opportunities to support regional collaborative partnerships comprised of employers from priority and emerging industry sectors. Sector Business Communications and Outreach Strategies: The FRWDB will utilize a variety of outreach resources and tools to connect to sector businesses: EconoVue: To identify priority sectors in our region via labor market information and specifically focus on employers experiencing financial stress. Then outreach will be conducted to these companies utilizing sector specific marketing materials and messages via the internet, social media, TV, radio, one-on-one presentations and partner network connections. Sector Business Account Specialists: Our BAS unit is split between general business BASs and sector BASs. Many BAS team members have targeted sector experience and readily understand the unique needs of the employers within that sector. Sector One-Stop: As part of this model, the FRWDB is developing innovative strategies by revising its provision of One-Stop services to include specialized sector One-Stops for locally-identified demand sectors. The first sector One- Stop is the Government sector, which opened its doors to provide services in December 2015. Sector-based orientations are provided at the comprehensive One-Stop location to provide labor market information on the various occupations in demand sectors. Partners/Intermediary Engagement As a prudent manager of resources and funds entrusted to us, we frequently scan out partners and intermediaries for opportunities to braid and leverage funding for workforce and training initiatives. As we convene multiple stakeholders, we understand that we provide a critical community leadership role Page 14 of 292 as well as a sounding board for partners whose goals overlap with ours. We will engage this diverse group of regional and local partners to link , align and leverage our collective assets on both short range projects and strategic planning for long-term initiatives with large community impact.

Provide a description of how the Local Board will coordinate Rapid Response activities carried out in the local area. Through the FRWDB BSC, our dedicated staff uses the following methodologies and resources to provide Layoff Aversion and Rapid Response activities to Fresno County employers and employees. Layoff Aversion Industry sectors whose strength will have the most significant impact on the future of the workforce area are the most appropriate targets for layoff aversion efforts. The FRWDB will take into consideration key factors for the following priority sectors: Industries that pay middle-class wages and benefits and offer job and training ladders for low-income populations Industries that create greater economic spin-off activity, i.e., the multiplier effect Industries that drive productivity gains in the economy and provide customers for advances in technology Industries that offer diversification of the economy Industries that provide a foundation for new industry clusters A combination of industries that provide the greatest positive impact for the region Early Warning System: The Early Warning System (EW S) is a network that identifies and tracks vulnerable companies and industry sectors that might benefit from layoff aversion strategies. The EW S identifies companies at risk of closing or moving operations before actual decisions are made by the companies to shut down or move. The FRWDB’s EWS network includes a vast array of community partners such as, but not limited to, the following: Local, state, and federal agencies Chambers of commerce Industry groups Labor and management associations Telecommunications/media companies Community-based and community development organizations Detecting early warning indicators is a strategy that complements other information gathered through the EWS network and aids in identifying and tracking companies in possible distress. The FRWDB uses the following identifiers, such as, but not limited to: Page 23 of 292 Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (WARN) notices, which is useful in analyzing layoff activity by industry sector and occupations being laid off Major trade journals, business journals, and local or regional newspapers Dun & Bradstreet or Experian. These companies provide information on companies and industries under stress. Relevant information can be found in the financial stress score and the commercial credit score. Direct referrals Changes in management behavior Removal of equipment Cash crunch/irrational cutbacks Business Services: The BSC, utilizing staff and procured contractors, provide Layoff Aversion services in the following manner: Pre-Feasibility Studies: Pre-feasibility studies provide objective evidence as to the likelihood of an employer remaining operational and, if so, under what conditions. Typical prefeasibility studies assess the employer’s business operations such as, but not limited to, the following areas: Organizational Structure Marketing Operations/Manufacturing Financial Asset Mapping: Asset mapping identifies resources in the community and provides an inventory of key resources in local workforce development areas. Asset mapping includes entities such as, but not limited to, the following: Local, state, and federal agencies Chambers of commerce Industry groups Labor and management associations Telecommunications/media companies Community-Based Organizations Business Turnaround Services: Business turnaround services are provided when it is determined that an employer needs intervention beyond the menu of services provided by the EWS network and community partners. Services will be provided through an outside entity with expertise in business turnarounds. Potential employers must be thoroughly assessed for intervention suitability based on early warning indicator data. Specific business turnaround services include the following: Financial restructuring Operations and cost management New market and product development assistance Production of business plans, financial projections, and financing memorandums Page 24 of 292 Developing labor management partnerships Assistance in acquiring new equipment; Assistance with training grants Assistance with loans and guarantees Incumbent Worker Training: To assist in averting layoffs, Incumbent Worker Training (IWT) can be provided. Such training is an important strategy for meeting an employer’s needs for qualified workers and can take place in or out of the workplace and during or after employees’ work hours. Employer and worker assessments are conducted to determine whether the provision of IWT is appropriate. Work Share Unemployment Compensation Program: The Work Share Unemployment Compensation Program (Work Share Program) offers an alternative to employers facing a reduction in force. Under the Work Share Program, an employer reduces the hours of work each week among a s pecific group of employees instead of laying off the employees. Wages lost to the employee due to reduced hours are offset by the receipt of UI benefits. Rapid Response The FRWDB coordinates the Rapid Response team for the delivery of WIOA Rapid Response services for Fresno County. The FRWDB does extensive outreach to employees affected by layoff or closures, to provide timely transitional re-employment services through the One-Stop system.

In addition, FRWDB and provider staff works with EDD staff to coordinate marketing and outreach to UI claimants, ensuring full access to all available WIOA services. 8. Describe how the Local Board will coordinate WIOA Title I activities with adult education and literacy activities under WIOA Title II. This description must include how the Local Board will carry out the review of local applications submitted under Title II consistent with WIOA Sections 107(d)(11)(A) and (B)(i) and WIOA Section 232. This description must also specify how the Local Board will carry out the review of Title II grant applications to determine whether such applications are consistent with the local plan, and how Local Boards will make recommendations to the eligible agency to promote alignment with the local plan, as described in WIOA secs. 107(d)(11)(A) and (B)(i) and WIOA sec. 232. The FRWDB refers participants in need of basic education and literacy to local adult education providers. All participants receiving Individualized Career Services may access educational services provided by the various adult schools in Fresno County, which may include Adult Basic Education, General Equivalency Diploma, English as a Second Language, computer classes, etc. When the California Department of Education requests applications for Adult Education Title II Education and Literacy Activities, the FRWDB will disseminate those applications to experts on staff and from our W orkforce Board for review. Readers will consider how the applications complement the Local Workforce Page 28 of 292 Development Plan. The FRWDB will make recommendations to the applying agency to promote alignment and concurrent enrollment, as appropriate.

Identify the entity responsible for the disbursal of grant funds described in WIOA Section 107(d)(12)(B)(i)(III), as determined by the chief elected official or the Governor under WIOA Section 107(d)(12)(B)(i). The County of Fresno and the City of Fresno are designated as the chief elected official through a Joint Powers Agreement (JPA). Through the JPA, the FRWDB has been designated for the purpose of carrying out job training and employer programs. The FRWDB, as determined by the JPA, approves awards for WIOA grant funds. 2. Describe the competitive process that will be used to award the sub-grants and contracts for WIOA Title I activities. The FRWDB utilizes a competitive procurement process, including Request for Proposals and Request for Quotes, to award all sub-grants and contracts for the selection of the One-Stop Operator and all WIOA Title I Adult, Dislocated Worker and Youth services. Page 29 of 292 The FRWDB conducts a competitive procurement process for the One-Stop Operator and Adult and Dislocated Worker services every four (4) years and every five (5) years for Youth services. G. Performance Goals 1. The Local Plan should describe the levels of performance negotiated with the Governor and chief elected official consistent with WIOA Section 116(c), to be used to measure the performance of the local area and to be used by the Local Board for measuring the performance of the local fiscal agent (where appropriate), eligible providers under WIOA Title I subtitle B, and the AJCC delivery system in the local area. Additional information from the State Board on performance negotiation will be forthcoming. The FRWDB, in conjunction with regional partners, has proposed local performance goals for the following federally mandated performance indicators for Adult, Dislocated Worker, and Youth participants: Second Quarter Employment Fourth Quarter Employment Median Earnings Credential Attainment Participant data will be provided through CalJOBS for the purpose of establishing local area levels for the additional indicator of Measurable Skills Gains for Program Years (PY) 2016-2017 and 2017-2018. The following tables provide goals that were negotiated with the State of California for the FRWDB’s initial performance outcome levels.

Federal High Performance Board Efforts 1. Identify how the Local Board will comply with state-issued AJCC policies specified in the following policy directives: WSD15-14 – WIOA Adult Program Priority of Service WSD15-12 – WIOA Memorandum of Understanding FRWDB staff has developed and implemented a local policy that clearly defines and specifies the priority of service requirements as outlined in WSD 15-14. FRWDB staff has developed a template Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) based on the guidance outlined in WSD15-12. The FRWDB will work with local partners to negotiate commitments of resources and cost allocations. Management from each partner will review the MOU prior to final signatures. All MOUs and Resource Sharing Agreements (RSAs) will be approved by the FRWDB and local chief local elected officials. MOUs and RSAs will be reviewed on an annual basis and updated as needed. 2. Provide a narrative description of the way the Local Board will assess the effectiveness of AJCCs in each of the foregoing areas. An assessment of leadership, planning and collaboration (how well are core programs involved and aligned?) FRWDB staff will schedule quarterly meetings with all the core partners to monitor the system and implement continuous improvement plans in the following areas: o Identification of areas where we can integrate services on an ongoing basis. o Identification of gaps in service delivery. o Improvement of service delivery based on continual feedback. Page 31 of 292 An assessment of customer-focus and customer-centered design (do clients get the services they need?) FRWDB staff will work with WIOA, One-Stop, and partner staff to develop a participant-centered design process for implementation. An assessment of the manner in which the One-Stop will enable skills attainment leading to industry recognized credentials and degrees (does the One-Stop help move those with barriers to employment on a path to skills development?) The FRWDB has long-term established processes to enable participants to address barriers, if needed. The FRWDB identifies career paths based on assessments and assists participants in enrollment into qualified training programs to obtain industry recognized credentials and degrees in their chosen occupation. An assessment of the way the One-Stop will use data for continuous improvement (do One-Stop Operators utilize performance data to improve service delivery?) The FRWDB will use our existing data analysis and reporting tools (I-Train common intake management system). Staff will continue to work with partners in attempting to solve the problem of data sharing and reporting across partners. Additionally, staff is working with existing partners on a pilot program to build cross-system data capacity. An assessment of professional development and staff capacity building (are frontline staff trained on the requirements of WIOA, the policies required under the State Plan, and to provide high quality, customer- focused services?) Cross training is provided for WIOA partners and One-Stop provider staff. FRWDB staff provides technical assistance and training on federal, state, and local policies to One-Stop provider staff. FRWDB staff will work with One- Stop provider staff and WIOA partners to identify skills gaps in training and work with the WIOA Regional Training Coordinator to identify training opportunities to bridge those gaps. An assessment of employer engagement and focus on high growth sectors (is programming aligned with regional labor market dynamics?) The San Joaquin Valley Regional Planning Unit has completed the first regional employer survey. A copy of the survey is available for download at http://www.workforce-connection.com. They are working with employers and employer groups, such as the San Joaquin Valley Manufacturing Alliance, to continue to develop processes to engage employers under WIOA and special grants such as Slingshot. Page 32 of 292 An assessment of physical and programmatic accessibility for individuals with disabilities. Currently, FRWDB staff performs biennial program and facilities assessments for accessibility for all individuals wherever WIOA services are provided. One-Stop staff identifies needs of the individual to provide appropriate services for accessibility, such as interpreters, resource guides, and special equipment. I. Training Activities 1. The local plan should describe how training services outlined in WIOA Section 134 will be provided through the use of individual training accounts. If contracts for training services will be used, the local plan must include how the use of such contracts will be coordinated with the use of individual training accounts, and how the Local Board will ensure informed customer choice in the selection of training programs regardless of how the training services are to be provided. The FRWDB has written policy and procedures for awarding Individual Training Accounts (ITAs) to eligible Adults, Dislocated W orkers and Youth, including dollar and/or duration limits. One-Stop staff assesses and guides participants to assist them in identifying appropriate career pathways based on their individual skills and goals. Training is prioritized for local industry sectors in high-demand occupations. ITAs can include: Occupational skills training, including training for nontraditional employment. Programs that combine workplace training with related instruction. Training programs operated by the private sector. Skills upgrading and retraining. Entrepreneurial training. Pre-/registered apprenticeship training. Other training includes: Work Based Learning such as OJT, paid work experience and internships. Incumbent W orker and/or Customized Training for employed workers. Cohorts and other apprenticeship-like models. Transitional jobs to establish job history. J. Public Transparency, Accessibility and Inclusivity Information 1. The local plan should describe the process used by the Local Board, consistent with WIOA 108(d), to provide a 30-day public comment period prior to submission of the plan. Information should specify how Local Boards complied with physical and programmatic accessibility requirement for individuals with disabilities. Page 33 of 292 The draft Local Plan was posted on the FRWDB website for a 30-day public comment period. The public and all local, state and federal agencies were invited to review the draft Plan and submit comments in writing, via email or fax. Additionally, public meetings were held in Fresno County that provided the general public, community organizations, and city and county representatives the opportunity to make comments. All questions and comments generated during the public comment period are shared with the FRW DB Committees and Councils, and the FRWDB members. All comments receive a final review by the Fresno County Board of Supervisors and Fresno City Council when the Plan is submitted to their board/council for final approval. There were no comments received during the Public Comment period that disagreed with the local plan. K. Common Intake and Case Management Efforts 1. Describe how Local Boards currently handle intake and case management and whether their existing approach allows for the tracking of co-enrolled individuals across WIOA core programs and other programs party to the State Plan. The FRWDB has been using the same common intake case management system since 2003. The software application, I-Train, has provided the FRWDB with significant flexibility to track participant data and to manage participants in our local area. Within I-Train we track all the required data as documented by the State including the following: Eligibility Participation Service delivery Training and supportive service expenditures Outcomes Follow-up Individual plans Case notes Intake for WIOA is currently performed in a four (4)-step process for adults: Registration in I-Train as an Adult Basic Career Service client Take basic skills assessments Attend a Self-Reliance Team interview to assess barriers and recommend referrals, including to WIOA Eligibility determination and creation of the WIOA full application Youth intake is performed in a similar manner, as follows: Attend youth entrance interview Page 34 of 292 Take basic skills assessments Recommend referrals, including to WIOA Eligibility determination and creation of the WIOA full application The State data is uploaded to CalJOBS daily, as required. This ensures the data on CalJOBS is timely. The flexibility we realize by using I-Train provides us with the ability to work closely with our WIOA partners locally to monitor co-enrollments across programs. Specifically, we intend to work with our partners to document the results of referrals to and from the One-Stop system. Utilizing technology to notify each other of referrals will allow us to anticipate participants’ arrival and to have a direct contact to each other’s case managers. Additionally, with web-based reporting we anticipate developing reports for partners to analyze the characteristics of their co-enrolled clients. L. Other Miscellaneous Information Requirements 1. Specify how Title II program applicants will be given access to local plans for purposes of reviewing the local plan and developing Title II applications for funding. The FRWDB Local Plan will be posted to the FRWDB website and will be available for download by Title II programs. Copies of the Plan will also be provided to Title II programs upon request. 2. Describe how the Local Board will meet the priority of service requirements in WIOA Section 134(c)(3)(E). As stated in WIOA Section 134(c)(3)(E), priorities of services, regardless of funding levels, must be provided to recipients of public assistance, other low- income individuals, or individual who are basic skills deficient. Priority of service status is established at the time of eligibility determination and does not change during the period of participation. Veterans and eligible spouses continue to receive priority of service among all eligible adult participants; however, they must meet the WIOA Adult Program eligibility criteria and meet the criteria under WIOA Section 134(c)(3)(E). As outlined in the guidance provide in the EDD Workforce Services Directive WSD 15-14, priority will be provided in the following order: Veterans and eligible spouses, who are also recipients of public assistance, are low income or are basic skills deficient. Adults who are recipients of public assistance, are low income, or are basic skills deficient. 3. Identify the portions of the local plan that are being handled in the narrative content of the regional plan. Page 35 of 292 The Regional Plan narrative includes the regional labor market, economic, and background analyses required in local planning efforts. It also includes a description of career pathways in the region and recommendations for further action on the pathways to meet regional industry needs. M.

The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which the person reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the FRWIB or that the person had reasonable cause to believe that the person’s conduct was unlawful. Section 10.03 Actions by the FRWIB. Subject to the provisions of the WIA, State law, and the Joint Powers Agreement, the FRWIB shall have the power to indemnify any person who was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any threatened, pending or completed action by, or in the right of, the FRWIB, to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that person is or was an agent of the FRWIB, against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by that person in connection with the defense or settlement of that action if that person acted in good faith, in a manner that person believed to be in the best interests of the FRWIB, and with such care, including reasonable inquiry, as an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would use under similar circumstances. No indemnification shall be made under this Section 10.03 for any of the following reasons: (a) In respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which that person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the FRWIB in the performance of that person’s duty to the FRWIB, unless, and only to the extent that, the court in which such proceeding is or was pending shall determine upon application that, in view of all the circumstances of the case, that person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for the expenses and then only to the extent that the court shall determine; (b) Of amounts paid in settling or otherwise disposing of a threatened or pending action, with or without court approval; or Page 268 of 292 15 (c) Of expenses incurred in defending a threatened or pending action which is settled or otherwise disposed of without court approval unless it is settled with the approval of the Attorney Section 10.04 Successful Defense by Agent. To the extent that an agent of the FRWIB has been successful on the merits in defense of any proceeding referred to in Sections 10.02 or 10.03, or in defense of any claim, issue, or matter therein, the agent shall be indemnified against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by the agent in connection therewith, as provided by these Bylaws, as well as California and Federal law. Section 10.05 Required Approval. Except as provided in Section 10.04, any indemnification under this Article shall be made by the FRWIB only if authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the agent is proper in the circumstances because the agent has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 10.02 or 10.03 of this Article, by any of the following: (a) A majority vote of a quorum consisting of Directors who are not parties to the proceeding; or (b) The court in which the proceeding is or was pending, upon application made by the FRWIB or the agent or the attorney or other person rendering services in connection with the defense, whether or not such application by the agent, attorney, or other person is opposed by the FRWIB. Section 10.06 Advance of Expenses. Expenses incurred in defending any proceeding may be advanced by the FRWIB before the final disposition of the proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by, or on behalf of, the agent to repay the amount of the advance unless it shall be determined ultimately that the agent is entitled to be indemnified as authorized in this Article. Section 10.07 Other Contractual Rights. No provision made the FRWIB to indemnify its Directors or officers for the defense of any proceeding, whether contained in the Joint Powers Agreement or these Bylaws, a resolution of the Board of Directors, an agreement, or otherwise, shall be valid unless consistent with this Article. Nothing contained in this Article shall affect any right to indemnification to which persons other than Directors and officers of the FRWIB may be entitled by contract or otherwise. Section 10.08 Limitations. No indemnification or advance shall be made under this Article, except as provided in Sections 10.04 or 10.05(b), in any circumstances where it appears: (a) That it would be inconsistent with a provision of the Joint Powers Agreement, Bylaws, or an agreement in effect at the time of the accrual of the alleged cause of action asserted in the proceeding in which the expenses were incurred or other amounts were paid, which prohibits or otherwise limits indemnification; or (b) That it would be inconsistent with any condition expressly imposed by a court in approving a settlement.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Department of Development and Resource Management seeks City Council approval of the re- appropriation of a $175,000 grant from the Environmental Protection Agency for the Elm Avenue Brownfields Area-Wide Planning Grant and a professional consultant services agreement Wallace, Roberts and Todd,LLC.,to prepare the Elm Avenue Area-Wide Brownfields Plan and Implementation Strategy. BACKGROUND On December 18,2014,the City Council adopted the Fresno General Plan.Policy UF-1-e Unique Neighborhoods,calls for the promotion and protection of unique neighborhoods and mixed use areas throughout Fresno that respect and support various ethnic,cultural,and historic enclaves;provide a range of housing options,including furthering affordable housing opportunities;and convey a unique character and lifestyle attractive to Fresnans.Furthermore,this policy calls for supporting such areas through more specific planning processes that directly engage community members in creative and innovative design efforts.In addition,the Noise and Safety Element of the General Plan contains policies calling for the identification of potential brownfield sites and collaboration with responsible parties and government agencies to remediate them.The adoption of the General Plan therefore set the stage for the Elm Avenue Area-Wide Brownfields Plan and Implementation Strategy. On a more local level the plan was envisioned in order to complement ongoing planning efforts in the Southwest Fresno,specifically in the Edison Neighborhood of the Downtown Neighborhoods Community Plan,the Southwest Fresno Specific Plan area and the Highway 41 +North Complete Streets Plan area.The Elm Avenue Corridor was targeted because of its prominence as a potential neighborhood corridor and its relative abundance of brownfield sites that could be catalyst sites for future development.The plan will focus on implementation of the vision set forth in the Edison Neighborhood of the Downtown Neighborhoods Community Plan and the Southwest Fresno Specific Plan,since the corridor overlaps both plan areas.The timing is optimal,now that the vision for this area has been clarified in recent planning processes. The Elm Avenue Area-Wide Brownfields Plan and Implementation Strategy requires unique skills and evaluations which will be used for this project.Current staff lacks some areas of expertise needed to prepare the plan,for example the economic,engineering,brownfields assessment and development feasibility areas of specialization.Staff will continue to learn from this consultant to reduce future reliance on consultants.Because brownfields exist in several different locations within the City of Fresno,it is the goal of staff to be able to do additional brownfields planning work in other areas of the city as part of the infill and revitalization process. The City issued a Request for Proposals (RFP)on April 14,2017.The goal expressed in the RFP was to develop an area-wide brownfields re-use plan and implementation strategy by working with the community and gathering the appropriate technical data to revitalize the corridor.Development of the plan will include community outreach and brownfields education for residents and property owners,an existing conditions study,including identification of additional brownfields sites, development of brownfields reuse scenarios,and a vision for corridor identity and potential.A $10,085 contingency is included for assessment of additional brownfield sites along the corridor. City of Fresno Printed on 3/7/2023Page 2 of 3 powered by Legistar™ File #:ID17-871 Agenda Date:7/20/2017 Agenda #:1-R $10,085 contingency is included for assessment of additional brownfield sites along the corridor. Currently,three sites are included in the project scope,but there are several more potential sites along the corridor. On May 27,2017,the City received three proposals,as follows:Wallace,Roberts and Todd,LLC., (WRT);Placeworks,Inc.;and SOAR Environmental Consulting,Inc.After review and evaluation of qualifications,both WRT and Placeworks were determined to be qualified and invited for interviews. At the conclusion of the interview process,WRT was determined to be the best group to prepare the Elm Avenue Area-Wide Brownfields Plan and Implementation Strategy.The firm was selected based upon the technical merits of their proposal and interviews,which emphasized broad brownfields planning and implementation experience of the consultant team.WRT is a national,award winning practice of planners and urban designers who bring expertise in public outreach,urban design,and brownfields reuse and planning.Their team includes HR&A for market analysis,Center for Creative land Recycling (CCLR)for brownfields planning and reuse expertise,Urban Diversity Design for a local liaison and urban design, and Precision Civil Engineering for infrastructure assessment. ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS Approval of the consultant service agreement amendment is not a “project” within the meaning of California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) Guidelines § 15378 because the organizational and administrative activities as identified in the consultant agreement will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment. LOCAL PREFERENCE Local preference was not applied, consistent with conditions of the Federal funding. FISCAL IMPACT No impact on the General Fund,as the funds were granted to the City of Fresno from the Environmental Protection Agency with no local match required.Funding for the Elm Avenue Area- Wide Brownfields Plan and Implementation Strategy was appropriated in the FY2016 Budget and is proposed to be carried over to the current fiscal year.

PROJECT SCOPE OF WORK PHASE 1: PROJECT INITIATION AND BACKGROUND ANALYSIS TASK 1: PROJECT INITIATION 1.1. Kick-off Call WRT will organize and lead a kick-off call with City Staff, Habitat for Humanity, and key members of the Consultant Team to start the project. Sheila Haikimipour will attend in person. Our agenda will focus on gaining a clear understanding of the City's priorities and the community's concerns. 1.2. Public Engagement Plan The WRT team will support Habitat for Humanity and City Staff in developing a public engagement plan. 1.4 Assist in Building Business Contacts. Community Partnerships The WRT team will identify businesses, agencies, community leaders and land owners whose input or involvement will be valuable. We will review these contacts with the City and H4H who will take primary responsibility for contacting them. WRT will prepare a paragraph project description for use by others during their outreach. TASK 2: EXISTING CONDITIONS AND BACKGROUND ANALYSIS 2.1 Base Maps WRT will create base maps for all members of the Consultant team to use, using aerial photos, GIS, and illustration software. We anticipate one map for the project area and one for each of the study sites. 2.2 Background Information Review The WRT team will review planning documents, environmental reports, technical studies, and other regulatory documents relevant to the study. 2.3 Consideration of Potential Future Development on Brownfield Sites The team will consider the potential hurdles for new development on brownfield sites, and the potential infrastructure improvements needed to support future development. Risk and Liability Overview: CCLR will provide an overview of the risks involved to different stakeholders in participating in a brownfields redevelopment project, including regulatory risk, financial risk, and health risk. Infrastructure Opportunities: PCE will highlight areas of opportunity for improved service to the community. Gaps in sewer, water, drainage, electrical, and data will be noted. 2.4 Analysis of Existing Conditions and Opportunities for the Future The team's analysis will be compiled in a draft memorandum. The paper, intended as a draft chapter of the final document, will frame the concept of "brownfields," and what they mean for Southwest Fresno both as a challenge and as an opportunity. Analysis will also be provided as a PowerPoint presentation and in presentation materials.

Adopt a finding of No Possibility pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines 2. ***BILL NO. B-35 - (Intro. 6/22/2017) (For adoption) - The adoption of an amendment to sections 12-2104 and 12-2105 of the Fresno Municipal Code relating to the cultivation of marijuana. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Council approve the amendment to sections 12-2104 and 12-2105 of the Fresno Municipal Code relating to the cultivation of marijuana to come into compliance with state law. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This amendment was introduced at Council on June 22, 2017. BACKGROUND In 2016 the citizens of California approved “Proposition 64,” the Control, Regulate, and Tax Adult Use of Marijuana Act (the Act) which would allow, under state law, the cultivation of marijuana at a private residence. Prop 64, however, also recognizes the authority of local jurisdictions to prohibit or regulate marijuana under local land use regulations. Prop 64 requires that local jurisdictions allow 6 plants per residence to be cultivated indoors with reasonable restrictions. This amendment would bring the Fresno Municipal Code into compliance with state law. ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS This project is exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines, section 15061(b)(3), because it can be said with certainty that there is no possibility that this project may have a significant effect on the environment.

MOZIER, PE, Interim Director Public Works Department BY:ANDREW J. BENELLI, PE, Assistant Director/City Engineer Public Works Department/Traffic Engineering Services Division AARON A. AGUIRRE, Public Works Manager Public Works Department, Landscape Maintenance Division SUBJECT HEARING to consider the proposed Annual Assessment for the City of Fresno Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance District No. 1 (Citywide) 1.RESOLUTION -Confirming the diagram and assessment and levy of annual assessment, 2017-2018, for Landscaping and Lighting District No. 1 RECOMMENDATIONS Staff recommends the City Council: 1.Adopt a resolution confirming the diagram and assessment. 2.Levy and collect the annual assessments for Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance District No. 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance Act of 1972 requires an annual hearing and levy of assessments for the City of Fresno Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance District No.1 (LLMD). Today’s hearing is to allow opportunity for public comment about the LLMD and for the Council’s approval of the annual assessment. BACKGROUND On March 22,1983,the City Council adopted Resolution No.83-93 ordering the formation of Assessment District No.89 (District),subsequently renamed LLMD.The District was formed to recover the City's costs of maintaining the landscaping within public rights-of-way and easements adjacent to certain existing subdivisions.The District is now comprised of 145 subdivisions with City of Fresno Printed on 3/7/2023Page 1 of 2 powered by Legistar™ File #:ID17-989 Agenda Date:7/20/2017 Agenda #: 14,870 individual assessments. The landscaping improvements are maintained by the Public Works Department from funds derived through the assessments levied by the District.These assessments will fund the cost of basic landscape maintenance services over the next year.The amount of the annual assessment has remained unchanged since 1997 due to the constraints placed by California Proposition 218,which would require a special registered voter election in order to increase the assessment.Because the assessments have not been adjusted for inflation,the City receives insufficient revenues to maintain the landscaped areas to a high level.The current quarterly maintenance cycle keeps the landscaping presentable,periodically removes litter and leaf debris,but some residents have commented that they would like to have more frequent servicing. On June 5,2017,the Engineer's Report was filed in the City Clerk's Office and has been available for public review.On June 22,2017,the City Council adopted Resolution No.2017-164 indicating its intention to levy and collect the annual assessments for properties within the District,and set today’s public hearing. The purpose of today's hearing is to allow all property owners affected by the District an opportunity to give public testimony regarding their assessments and for the Council to adopt the Resolution Approving the Engineer's Report and Levying Annual Assessments.At this time,we have received no letters of protest from District property owners. Today’s public hearing has been duly noticed and the attached Resolution has been reviewed and approved as to form by the City Attorney's Office. ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS By the definition provided in the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines Section 15378 this hearing does not qualify as a “project”and is therefore exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act requirements. LOCAL PREFERENCE Local preference was not considered because this hearing does not include a bid or award of a construction or services contract. FISCAL IMPACT The Public Works Department performed the maintenance in the past LLMD fiscal year using only assessment funds collected ($703,000).Approval of the annual levy of the LLMD assessments will provide funding for a continuation of the current service levels within the LLMD subdivisions.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY City staff committed to timely preparation of the Annual Action Plan and began a comprehensive citizen engagement action planning process in January 2017 that would allow the City to meet its original May 15,2017,submission deadline.However,the uncertainty surrounding the federal City of Fresno Printed on 3/7/2023Page 1 of 6 powered by Legistar™ File #:ID17-937 Agenda Date:7/20/2017 Agenda #: original May 15,2017,submission deadline.However,the uncertainty surrounding the federal budget and the delay in HUD’s announcement of entitlement jurisdiction funding levels resulted in the City’s Draft 2017-2018 Annual Action Plan (Draft Action Plan)including contingency provision language.The City fulfilled its citizen participation obligation and published the Draft Action Plan for public review from April 2, 2017, through May 4, 2017. On May 5,2017,an appropriations bill for the continuing resolution was signed,announcing HUD Community and Planning and Development programs would be funded at the same or similar levels as the prior year.On May 11,2017,the City Council conducted a public hearing related to the Draft Action Plan and continued the item for future consideration pending HUD’s announcement of exact allocations. On June 14,2017,HUD announced Fiscal Year 2017-2018 (FY 2018)allocations.In an effort to ensure transparency and community engagement,the City committed to producing a Revised Draft FY 2018 Annual Action Plan (Revised Draft Action Plan),including a redline version,that eliminates contingency provision language and uses exact allocation figures.The Revised Draft Action Plan has been properly published and made available for public comment from June 29,2017,through July 14,2017.A PowerPoint presentation will be provided to the City Council to summarize projects outlined in the Revised Draft Action Plan.If approved by Council,the Revised Draft Action Plan will be submitted to HUD for approval, which may take up to 45 days to receive. BACKGROUND In order to qualify for and receive federal grant funding through HUD the City is required to prepare a Consolidated Plan every five years,an Annual Action Plan detailing the housing,community,and economic development activities proposed for funding through the CDBG,HOME,ESG,and HOPWA programs,and a Consolidated Annual Performance Evaluation Report capturing results each year. The development of the Annual Action Plan occurs through a needs hearing,a citizen participation process, an application period, and a program budgeting process. The Revised Draft Action Plan covers the period from July 1,2017,through June 30,2018,and is the third year of the current Consolidated Plan.It has been prepared to meet the HUD grant funding requirements and provides details on the City’s proposed use of CDBG,HOME,ESG,and HOPWA Programs. City staff committed to timely preparation of the Annual Action Plan and began a comprehensive citizen engagement action planning process in January 2017 that would allow the City to meet its original May 15,2017,deadline to submit its plan.However,the uncertainty surrounding the federal budget and the delay in HUD’s announcement of entitlement jurisdiction funding levels contributed to the City’s development of the City’s Draft Action Plan that including contingency provision language, explaining how the City would adjust proposed plans to match actual allocations,once announced. The City fulfilled its citizen participation obligation and published the Draft Action Plan for public review from April 2, 2017, through May 4, 2017. On May 5,2017,an appropriations bill for the continuing resolution was signed,announcing that HUD Community and Planning and Development programs were to be funded at the same or similar levels as the prior year.However,entitlement jurisdictions were still required to await the announcement of exact allocations prior to submitting plans. City of Fresno Printed on 3/7/2023Page 2 of 6 powered by Legistar™ File #:ID17-937 Agenda Date:7/20/2017 Agenda #: The Housing and Community Development Commission (HCDC)conducted a public hearing related to the Draft Action Plan on May 10,2017.There were three public comments made and the HCDC recommended the City Council continue the item for future consideration once allocations had been announced by HUD.On May 11,2017,the City Council conducted a public hearing related to the Draft Action Plan and continued the item for future consideration pending HUD’s allocation announcement. The City’s annual deadline to submit the Action Plan to HUD is on May 15th and can be no later than August 16th.Given the uncertainty surrounding the allocation announcement,HUD issued a notice stating that entitlement jurisdictions would be allowed additional time to submit their action plans because HUD requires that allocations be announced prior to plan submission. On June 14,2017,HUD announced FY 2018 allocations.In an effort to ensure transparency and community engagement,the City developed a Revised Draft Action Plan that eliminates contingency provision language and instead uses exact allocation amounts.The City also produced a redline version comparing changes from the Draft Action Plan to the Revised Draft Action Plan.The Revised Action Plan was properly published and made available for public comment from June 29,2017, through July 14,2017,pursuant to HUD’s reduction of the required 30-day public comment period to 14 days. The HCDC is scheduled to conduct an additional public hearing on July 12,2017,related to the Revised Draft Action Plan and a verbal update on public comments received and HCDC’s recommendation will be provided by staff to the City Council on July 20, 2017. If approved by Council,the Revised Draft Action Plan will be submitted to HUD for approval,which may take up to 45 days to receive. Citizen Participation City staff began preparation of the Action Plan in December 2016 through a public notice of the entitlement funding,and a Public Needs Hearing on housing and community development needs held on January 25,2017.The HCDC and the City Council held public hearings and considered the approval of the Draft Action Plan on May 10th and May 11th,respectively.Given that the allocations had not been announced,the hearings were conducted,but the action of the item was continued for future consideration.The HCDC and City Council have scheduled additional public hearings and will consider the adoption of the Revised Draft Action Plan on July 12,2017,and July 20,2017, respectively. The table below summarizes the citizen participation component of the Annual Action planning process.It is important to note the City provided notices and various communication in three languages: English, Hmong and Spanish.

ESG and HOPWA funds are earmarked to assist the homeless and persons living with AIDS/HIV, respectively. The funds are used to pursue three goals: (1) Provide decent, affordable housing (2) Create suitable living environments, and (3) Expand economic opportunities. In order to access these federal funds, the City of Fresno (City) must carry out a planning process to identify the scope of housing and community development needs in its jurisdiction and how the available funding can best be used to meet those needs. This planning process, called the Consolidated Plan, was conducted in late 2014 and early 2015. The term of the plan began on July 1, 2015 and will end on June 30, 2020. A full copy of the Consolidated Plan is available for review at the City’s Development and Resources Management (DARM) Department and online at www.fresno.gov/housing. Each year, the City prepares an Annual Action Plan that describes the projects and actions it will undertake to carry out the strategies outlined in the Consolidated Plan. This document is the Third Year Annual Action Plan, covering the period from July 1, 2017 to June 30, 2018. Summary of Objectives and Outcomes Fresno, located in the center of California’s Central Valley, stands as the largest city in the County of Fresno (County), and is the fifth largest city in the State of California. The City encompasses an area of 113 square miles and is surrounded by mostly rural residential and agricultural land. Fresno has a population of over half a million (520,052) residents, a total of 161,914 households, with a median income of $42,015. City of Fresno PY 2017 Annual Action Plan – Revised DRAFT Page 2 Of distinct concern is the comparatively high poverty level found in the city, as the Fresno’s poverty rate is double that of the State of California and is 14 percent higher than the poverty rate for the County. Additionally, the percentage of families experiencing extreme poverty (those with family incomes under $10,000) is more than double the extreme poverty rate of the state. This contributes to the fact that 47 percent of households are cost burdened and paying more than 30 percent of their income toward housing costs. From 2000 to 2013 median home values in the city increased by 82 percent and median contract rent increased by 94 percent. During the same time period the median household income increased by only 30 percent. This indicates that incomes are not keeping pace with the increasing cost of housing. Public Comments The City made the Program Year 2017-2018 (PY 2017) Draft Annual Action Plan available for public comment April 3, 2017 through May 4, 2017. On June 14, 2017, HUD announce the PY 2017 allocations for CDBG, HOME, ESG, and HOPWA. Because HUD had not yet made an allocation announcement prior to public hearings conducted May 10, 2017 and May 11, 2017, the City has made revisions to reflect the announced allocations and made available the Revised Draft PY 2017 Annual Action Plan for a 14-day public comment period (HUD issued waiver 5/10/17 allowing a 14-day public comment period) for the Annual Action Plan. The Revised Draft PY 2017 Annual Action Plan is available for public comment June 29, through July 14, 2017. Information on how to submit public comments is provided below.

All of the projects funded in PY 2017 will align to serve one of the following goals. Goal #01: Safe and Affordable Housing The City will continue to fund affordable housing projects to improve the quality of housing stock throughout the City. This includes rehabilitation efforts, and new development. All of the City’s HOME funds and approximately 8% of the CDBG funds will be used to serve this goal.

The City will implement “notice of grant award” documentation with City departments in addition to subrecipient agreements with community based organizations. The City will be offering technical assistance and ongoing training opportunities for awardees. With that, staff recognized there is an ongoing opportunity to improve how various programs have been managed, the methodology in which programs have been monitored, and the manner in which funds have been allocated. In addition, the City has implemented improved coordination between rehabilitation programs and the neighborhood revitalization teams through a referral process. The City has also increased low and no-cost outreach methods to ensure citizen participation, resulting in a public needs hearing with standing room only.

In 2008, when the effort was announced, 901 chronically homeless individuals were identified. The 2016 Point-In-Time Count identified 438 chronically homeless individuals residing in the county, representing a reduction of 51%. The FMCoC estimates that it can reach “functional zero” for chronically homeless populations by the end of 2019 with an increase of resources for rapid rehousing. Summary of Citizen Participation and Consultation Process The City adopted and followed a Citizen Participation Plan to ensure interested residents received opportunities to participate in the planning process. In addition to the required publications, and as part of the outreach strategy, the City developed a robust database of over 500 community development and housing service providers, workforce developers, community advocates, public agencies, individuals, and businesses across the city. For this planning cycle, stakeholders were consistently engaged, updated, and encouraged to participate in the process utilizing additional low and no-cost outreach methods such as social media (FaceBook and Twitter) and FresGo, an app that over 8,000 individuals have downloaded to submit real-time requests in their neighborhoods. The Citizen Participation process is described in greater detail in PR-15 Citizen Participation. Summary of Public Comments Comments received at the January 25, 2017 Housing and Community Development Commission public (HCDC) public needs hearing; the May 10, 2017 HCDC public hearing; the May 11, 2017 City Council public hearing; the June 14, 2017 HCDC public hearing, and: the June 15, 2017 City Council public hearing are included as attachments. Applicable public City of Fresno PY 2017 Annual Action Plan – Revised DRAFT Page 14 comments from the July 12, 2017 HCDC and July 20, 2017 City Council public hearings will also be summarized and included in the final plan. Summary of Comments not accepted Any comments not accepted, if applicable, will be summarized in the final plan. Summary In PY 2017, the City estimates that it will have roughly $11.5 million in federal resources available to address its most pressing affordable housing and community development priorities. The most pressing needs in the City continue to be a large number of blighted properties and substandard condition of housing, especially within the neighborhoods identified as CDBG target areas. As such, the majority of CDBG resources available to the City through the programs covered by this plan will focus on reinvestment in distressed areas through comprehensive code enforcement efforts, housing rehabilitation programs, public facility and infrastructure projects, and supportive public services. HOME funds will be used to increase housing opportunities for low-income households through new development, tenant-based rental assistance, and improvements to existing owner-occupied housing stock. ESG funds will continue to serve the needs of homeless populations and HOPWA funds will provide housing assistance to persons living with AIDS/HIV and their families. City of Fresno PY 2017 Annual Action Plan – Revised DRAFT Page 15 PR‐05 Lead and Responsible Agencies The City of Fresno is the Lead Agency for the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) entitlement programs. The City of Fresno Development and Resource Management Department (DARM), Housing and Community Development Division is responsible for the administration of HUD Entitlements including but not limited to the Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG), the HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME), the Emergency Solutions Grant program (ESG), and the Housing Opportunities for People with AIDS/HIV (HOPWA) funding. Public Contact Information: Tom Morgan Development and Resource Management Department (DARM) Housing and Community Development Division 2600 Fresno Street Fresno, CA 93721 Phone: 559.621.8064 TTY: 559.621.8721 Fax: 559.457.1054 Email: Thomas.Morgan@fresno.gov City of Fresno PY 2017 Annual Action Plan – Revised DRAFT Page 16 AP‐10 Consultation Introduction Public participation plays a central role in the development of the Consolidated Plan. To develop its 2015 Consolidated Plan, the City launched an in-depth and collaborative effort to consult with community stakeholders, elected offices, City and County departments, and beneficiaries of entitlement programs to inform and develop the priorities and strategies. For the PY 2017 Annual Action Plan, the City followed up with many of the same organizations to identify shifts and trends within the needs of the community. Efforts to Enhance Coordination Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction’s activities to enhance coordination between public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health and service agencies (91.215(l)) As part of the Consolidated Planning process, the City developed a robust database of over 500 community development and housing service providers, workforce developers, community advocates, public agencies, individuals, and businesses across the city. Through this comprehensive database, the City can quickly outreach and coordinate with a large number of stakeholders within the community. As part of the PY 2017 planning process, the City released a Consolidated Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for CDBG, HOME, ESG, and HOPWA to coordinate with local non-profits on the provision of public services and to accept proposals for the rehabilitation and development of community facilities. Continuum of Care Consultation – Homeless Needs Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth) and persons at risk of homelessness. The Fresno Madera Continuum of Care (FMCoC) is comprised of organizations and individuals working to address homelessness in the counties of Fresno and Madera. Members of the FMCoC include representatives of federal, state, and local government agencies, nonprofits, the private sector, and faith-based organizations. The FMCoC holds monthly meetings to coordinate the efforts of its members to efficiently provide housing and services to the homeless population. City of Fresno PY 2017 Annual Action Plan – Revised DRAFT Page 17 As part of the PY 2017 planning process, the City coordinated with the FMCoC to determine the amount of the ESG allocations that should be used for each eligible use. The City will use the approved breakdown by funding categories to determine subrecipient allocations. Continuum of Care Consultation – Program Design Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction's area in determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards for and evaluate outcomes of projects and activities assisted by ESG funds, and develop funding, policies and procedures for the operation and administration of HMIS. Allocation The City of Fresno acts as a pass-through agency for Emergency Solutions Grant Program (ESG) funds. While the City is responsible for the administration and oversight of the grant, the vast majority of funds are awarded to local homeless service providers who perform the day to day operation of the funded programs. As part of the PY 2017 planning process, the City coordinated with the FMCoC to determine the amount of the ESG allocations that should be used for each eligible use. The City will use the approved breakdown by funding categories to determine subrecipient allocations. Development of Standards and Policies ESG standards and policies were developed by the City, County, and the FMCoC when the ESG program transitioned from the Emergency Shelter Grant to the Emergency Solutions Grant in 2011. These standards are included in the final plan. The City anticipates the completion of an updated management policies and procedures plan and standards in 2017. The City will continue to coordinate with its public and private partners to ensure that the local FMCoC meets all HEARTH requirements with respect to ESG funds. HMIS and Coordinated Entry System The Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) is used by all local homeless providers participating in the FMCoC. HMIS is a database used to track performance and outcomes for the agencies. As the HMIS Lead of the FMCoC, the Fresno Housing Authority plays a critical role in coordinating the annual Pint-in-Time Count (PITC), collecting data, and distributing results from the annual count. The work of the Housing Authority in this regard meets and exceeds HUD requirements for the implementation and compliance of Homeless Management Information System Standards. The Fresno Madera Continuum of Care’s Coordinated Entry System utilizes a common assessment tool – the Vulnerability Index. All member agencies of the FMCoC have committed to using both the assessment tool and the Coordinated Entry System. The Multi- Agency Access Program (MAP) Point at the Poverello House (Pov) was the first coordinated City of Fresno PY 2017 Annual Action Plan – Revised DRAFT Page 18 physical entry point collectively developed by the Community Conversations stakeholder group. The MAP Pont at the Pov served as the first physical location of the Coordinated Entry System. The program has proved successful in its first two years and has begun expansion.

This effort aligns with the Strategic Plan's goal to support activities that respond to homelessness and its impacts on the community. Name of Plan: City of Fresno Housing Element Organization: City of Fresno Overlap: The Housing Element is the State-required component of the City's General Plan and provides a policy guide and implementation work plan to help the City meet its future regional housing needs. This effort aligns with the Strategic Plan's goal to assist in the creation and preservation of affordable housing opportunities. Describe cooperation and coordination with other public entities, including the State and any adjacent units of general local government, in the implementation of the Consolidated Plan (91.215(l)) The City works closely with the Public Housing Authority of the City of Fresno, the County of Fresno, and the State in a number of affordable housing programs. For HOPWA, the City is responsible for administering the grant on behalf of the entire metropolitan statistical area, which includes all of Fresno County. As such, the City coordinates with the County Public Health Department and the State of California to ensure the needs of persons living with AIDS/HIV are addressed. As detailed above, the City participates in the FMCoC to address homeless issues in the region. Through this organization, the City is able to coordinate its resources with other public entities to ensure a strategic response to homelessness. The City recently completed a CalHome Grant program provided by the State of California’s Department of Housing and Community Development for first-time home buyers. As available, the City will apply for future funding opportunities. The Mayor convenes a cross-sector Restore Fresno meeting monthly between Fresno Unified School District, the Fresno Housing Authority, the County of Fresno and several City Departments as part of “Restore Fresno” a compilation of initiatives aimed at goals included in the Consolidated Plan. Additional efforts to preserve affordable housing have resulted in the development of a Rental Housing Division within the City of Fresno focused on preserving existing housing stock.

The City receives smaller allocations of the Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) and Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS/HIV (HOPWA). CDBG CDBG funds may be used for a broad range of activities, including housing, infrastructure, public facilities and services, and economic development, as long as the purpose of the program is to benefit persons considered to be low or moderate income (below 80% of the area median income). HOME HOME funds may only be used for affordable housing projects. This includes the acquisition and development of new housing, the rehabilitation of existing units, tenant-based rental assistance, and homebuyer assistance. Assisted units can be either rental or owner-occupied. All units must benefit households earning less than 80 percent of the area median income. ESG ESG funds are designed to serve homeless persons and those at risk of homelessness. The ESG program provides funding to engage homeless living on the street; improve the number and quality of emergency shelters; rapidly re-house homeless into market housing; and to prevent families and individuals from becoming homeless. HOPWA This program is targeted to provide housing assistance to persons living with AIDS/HIV and their families. HOPWA funds may be used for a wide range of housing, social services, program planning, and development costs. These include the development of new housing units; costs for facility operations; rental assistance; and short-term payments to prevent homelessness. An essential component in providing housing assistance for this targeted special needs population is the coordination and delivery of support services. State and Local Funds The City expects to leverage and attract additional funding sources to help meet its goals, including programs such as the Multi-Agency Access Program (MAP Point). Potential sources include general funds, additional housing funds from the State, private funding invested in the HOME-assisted affordable housing developments. The City expects to receive funds in the program year through the Housing-Related Parks Program from the State of California City of Fresno PY 2017 Annual Action Plan – Revised DRAFT Page 28 (Proposition 1 C). In recent years, the City has contributed general funds to homeless street outreach program called HERO (Homeless Engagement Resource Outreach Team). The City will also continue to fund Neighborhood Revitalization teams from local funding sources. Lead Hazard Abatement Funds The City has successfully applied for Lead Hazard Abatement funds in the past. These funds are awarded on an annual basis from HUD for the assessment and abatement of lead paint hazards in low income homes. The City was unsuccessful in its PY 2016 application and did not apply for these funds for PY 2017, but the City supported an application submitted by Fresno County.

Leverage, in the context of entitlement funding, means bringing in other local, state, and federal financial resources to maximize the reach and impact of the City of Fresno’s U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) funded programs. HUD, like many other federal agencies, encourages the recipients of federal monies to demonstrate that efforts are being made to strategically leverage additional funds in order to achieve greater results. Leverage is also a way to increase project efficiencies and benefit from economies of scale that often come with combining sources of funding for similar or expanded scopes. A good source of leveraging the City hopes to continue to use is the Housing-Related Parks Program from the State of California (Proposition 1 C). Through this program, the State provides additional funds to local governments for parks and recreational facilities when the local government creates additional affordable units. In previous years, the City has leveraged over $1million in additional park improvements. Additionally, the City’s FY 2018 utilizes any unexpended dollars (potentially up to $1,000,000) from two specific projects be used for affordable housing. The federal government has several other funding programs for community development and affordable housing activities. These include: Fair Housing; Lead Based Paint; HOPE VI; HOPWA Competitive Funds; the Supportive Housing Program; Section 202, Section 811; Youthbuild; the Housing Choice Voucher Program; the Affordable Housing Program (AHP) through the Federal Home Loan Bank, and others. It should be noted that in most cases the City would not be the applicant for these funding sources as many of these programs offer assistance to affordable housing developers and nonprofits rather than local jurisdictions. Additionally, HUD has matching fund requirements for both the HOME and ESG Programs. For the HOME Program, the City is required to match twenty-five percent of all HOME project expenditures. However, HUD will reduce or waive the match requirement when a jurisdiction meet’s HUD fiscal distress criteria. In recent years, HUD has waived the City’s HOME match requirement. HUD published match reductions for 2017-2018 on May 22, 2017. Fresno met the distressed criteria and was determined to be in severe fiscal distress and received a 100 percent reduction for 2017-2018. In the 2017 program year, the City will continue to seek HOME match funds to contribute to future year match liabilities. Examples of matching funds under the HOME Program include private finance and interest subsidies from home buyer and residential rehabilitation programs. The ESG grant requires a 100% match of program funds. The City of Fresno passes this matching requirement to the service providers receiving the ESG funds. ESG providers meet City of Fresno PY 2017 Annual Action Plan – Revised DRAFT Page 31 this requirement through the use of private donations, State grants, and/or volunteer hours. The City may also provide general funds to service providers in order to meet match requirements. If appropriate, describe publically owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that may be used to address the needs identified in the plan. As part of the planned Infill Housing Program funded previously, the City has worked with the Successor Agency to the Redevelopment Agency and identified 18 city-owned lots that may be deeded to developers in order to build single-family in-fill housing units. City staff is currently evaluating the lots for development potential. The majority of these lots are located in the central core of the city. Funds are intended to be used for acquisition, clearance, and down payment assistance to finance infill single family housing projects. The resulting housing units will be rented or sold to low and moderate income households.

While the City will coordinate closely with the Housing Authority and share information about their respective programs, the City does not plan on providing financial assistance to the Housing Authority for their physical inventory. The Housing Authority receives its own allocation from HUD, including an allocation through the Capital Fund Program, which will be used to repair, renovate and/or modernize the public housing developments. The City does partner with the Housing Authority on the administration of HOME- and HOPWA-funded tenant-based rental assistance and the administration of the HMIS homeless information management system. Planned Actions Describe Actions planned during the next year to address the needs to public housing. A portfolio application inclusive of all Public Housing developments within Fresno was submitted to HUD for the Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) program. Additionally, site specific RAD applications have been submitted and approved for 90 of the 426 public housing units within the City of Fresno and applications have been submitted for another 198 public housing units. HUD approval of these applications is expected by the end of the year. The Housing Authority will be determining if the remaining 132 public housing units have rehabilitation needs sufficient for the RAD program. Actions to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and participate in homeownership. The Housing Authority Resident Advisory Board (RAB) meets at least annually to review any changes to the Admissions and Continued Occupancy Policy (ACOP) and the Housing Authority Annual Plan policies. In addition, residents are able to make comments before the Board of Commissioners and their comments are solicited for all major policy changes. The Housing Authority participated in a homeownership program in previous years where over 200 foreclosed homes (in the City and County) were renovated and sold to low-income residents and other individuals. There are 7 homes available for purchase in Fresno. If the PHA is designated as troubled, describe the manner in which financial assistance will be provided or other assistance. The Housing Authority of the City of Fresno is not considered troubled. City of Fresno PY 2017 Annual Action Plan – Revised DRAFT Page 53 AP‐65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities – 91.220(i) Introduction Describe the jurisdictions one-year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness including reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs. The Multi-Agency Access Program (MAP) Point is the physical local coordinated entry point for the FMCoC Coordinated Entry System. The Fresno Homeless Task Force conducts daily activities in areas where homeless individuals and families congregate or are known to visit. In reaching its annual goal of 1,340 contacts, the HERO Team conducts weekly outreach activities in areas which have been identified as having the potential to attract or induce homeless persons and families to congregate. The FMCoC develops and carries out regular outreach and assessment activities such as the annual Point In Time (PIT) Count. Describe actions to address the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons. The City is proposing to fund the shelter services provided by WestCare California, Inc. (WestCare), the Marjaree Mason Center (MMC), and the Poverello House. WestCare will provide shelter in an owned and operated facility along with intensive support services to 41 persons. MMC will provide shelter in a secured environment owned and operated by MMC and transitional services. The Poverello House will provide short term hotel vouchers to families and households. Describe actions planned to help homeless persons make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again. Through its subrecipients, the City will be able to reach vulnerable individuals and families who are homeless. These agencies use a coordinated entry system and the Multi-Agency Action Program (MAP) Point at the Poverello House, to provide not only rapid rehousing and housing assistance, but also wrap-around services designed to create sustainable and safe housing opportunities for long-term permanent and independent living. As part of several national initiatives, the housing-first model has proven to be successful and continues to be a best- practice. The recent City and County Status Update to the 10-Year Plan to End Chronic Homelessness outlines several goals specifically relating to (1) availability of housing (2) coordination among service providers (3) improving outreach, and (4) preventing homelessness. City of Fresno PY 2017 Annual Action Plan – Revised DRAFT Page 54 The City is proposing to fund Rapid Rehousing programs administered by WestCare California, Inc. and Marjaree Mason. WestCare will assist 71 persons, while the Marjaree Mason Center will assist 30 persons. The City will also provide for the assistance of 86 homeless persons transition to permanent housing through the use of tenant-based rental assistance programs funded with HOME and HOPWA. Describe planned actions to help low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals and families and those who are: being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities, foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); or, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs. Through a network of social service agencies and supportive nonprofits, at-risk families and individuals are identified and assisted with short-term and long-term wrap-around services. These agencies include the Fresno County Mental Health network, the Fresno Police Department, and the Fresno County Courts system. While the City has no formal homeless discharge coordination policy in place, the City continues to be an active participant in the FMCoC and the Community Conversations. The FMCoC has established procedures with individual agencies related to discharge policies, such as the County’s Department of Behavioral Health, the Hospital Council of Northern and Central California, Fresno County Jail, etc. Members of the FMCoC work together to coordinate their efforts and build a continuum of care that provides supportive and preventative services to these individuals at high risk of homelessness after release. The Community Conversation stakeholders meet quarterly and include leadership representing police and probation, mental health, major hospitals, local government, court systems, housing authority, the FMCoC, and many more. The City is actively engaged in planning efforts that address the needs of individuals at risk due to discharge from systems of care. The City is proposing to fund WestCare California, Inc. with ESG funds to administer homeless prevention efforts and Short-Term Rent, Mortgage, and Utilities with HOPWA funds. WestCare will conduct assessments and application screening; develop individual service plans; and provide life skills training, detoxification services, substance abuse and mental health treatment.

Market Constraints o Land Cost and Availability o Land Use Controls o Off-Site Improvements o Materials and Labor o Financing Costs Other Non-Governmental Constraints o Accessibility to Mobility o Social Perceptions Excessive Land Value in Select Areas Governmental Constraints o Governmental Layers for Entitlements o Annexation o Development Review Process Components o Fees and Exactions Actions it planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the return on residential investment During the PY 2017 year, the City will commit to the following actions to reduce the barriers to affordable housing (see Chapter 6 of 2015 Housing Element): Providing development incentives such as planning entitlement fee reductions for projects constructed in the City’s Inner City Fee Reduction Target Area density bonuses for eligible projects Measure C TOD fee reduction programs for eligible projects Strengthening partnerships with Affordable Housing Developers Encouraging the development of adequate housing to meet the needs of persons with special needs; City of Fresno PY 2017 Annual Action Plan – Revised DRAFT Page 58 Assisting Individuals Experiencing Homelessness (ESG) Outreach and technical assistance to mobile home park residents Support to Fresno Housing Authority for marketing of Housing Choice Vouchers in areas of opportunity; Streamlining Approval for Downtown Housing Projects Consistent with Housing Element Preventing Displacement through the Downtown Displacement Program Reducing housing utility costs through the Home Energy Tune-Up Program Expediting entitlements through the Business Friendly Fresno Program; Incentivizing large and small lot development Implementing comprehensive code enforcement, including an interior rental re- inspection program; Improving infrastructure Rehabilitating housing’ Enhancing police service to high crime neighborhoods; Contracting with the Fair Housing Council to provide fair housing services Implementing an integrated Equitable Communities program to encourage investment in areas of need and to encourage affordable housing in areas of opportunity. The City recently updated its Development Code. The updated Development Code makes it easier to develop compact, walkable, affordable housing along high capacity transit corridors and in downtown. These Code changes positively impact the availability of housing that meets the State of California guidelines for affordability for low and very low income households. It is anticipated that the City will evaluate its post-RDA housing properties for reuse as affordable housing; however it is not expected that these properties will be available during the program year. City of Fresno PY 2017 Annual Action Plan – Revised DRAFT Page 59 AP‐85 Other Actions – 91.220(k) Introduction In addition to outlining projects that the City will actively pursue with available federal resources, the City must also describe “other actions” outlined below, as required by the federal regulations. Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs With a recognized deficit of parks and open space, the City continues to seek partnerships which increase the availability of parks and open space in underserved neighborhoods. The City has prioritized established neighborhoods for reinvestment – especially focusing on high intensity transit corridors for development and redevelopment. These actions will provide new or reconstructed infrastructure in low-mod census tracts and adjacent to low-mod neighborhoods. Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) will be under construction in the next year and operational in the next two years. This highly efficient alternative transportation option will enhance surrounding low-mod neighborhoods. Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing The City coordinates closely with the Housing Authority, local nonprofit housing providers, and other governmental agencies to identify resources available for fostering and maintaining affordable housing. These actions include support for Low Income Housing Tax Credit applications for both 9% and 4% tax credits, support for Cap and Trade applications for the development of new Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) housing options, and monitoring of the mobile home rent control guidelines. The City recently completed a CalHome Grant program provided by the State of California’s Department of Housing and Community Development for first-time home buyers. As available, the City will apply for future funding opportunities. The City is committed to setting aside HOME funds for eligible Community Housing Development Organizations (CHDO) for the development of eligible affordable housing projects. Non-CHDO developers may also submit proposals for HOME entitlement funds for eligible affordable housing development projects. The City is also committed to continued funding of rehabilitation utilizing CDBG and/or HOME funds to provide assistance to owner- occupied households meeting income eligibility criteria. Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards To address potential and actual health hazards derived from lead-based paint (LBP) the City of Fresno will support the Fresno County Human Services Agency's efforts to identify and remediate hazards caused by LBP, provide outreach to the community regarding structural City of Fresno PY 2017 Annual Action Plan – Revised DRAFT Page 60 dangers or cultural practices that may cause lead poisoning, and continue to include lead abatement practices in code enforcement and rehabilitation programs as feasible. The City supported Fresno County in its application for supplemental HUD funds to address and remove lead paint hazards. In addition, the City will implement a complimentary lead paint abatement program and has two California State Certified Lead Inspectors/Assessors on staff. Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families The City of Fresno allocates funding for homeless prevention and housing, including emergency shelter, transitional housing, and permanent housing. The City of Fresno will continue to provide assistance for the homeless and those in danger of becoming homeless and improve communication and service delivery capabilities of agencies and organizations that provide programs to assist the homeless. The City of Fresno assists persons that are homeless or vulnerable to becoming homeless is provided through nonprofit agencies and City of Fresno departments. Services and activities provide free and reduced price services so that low-income persons are able to use their income for other expenses: The Parks and Community Services Department provides seniors low cost or free meals at community centers in low-income neighborhoods. The City of Fresno communicates information related to cooling centers in the summer for homeless and low income persons that do not have access to cooled environments and also to offset the cost associated with cooling a home. There are also warming centers in the winter when the temperatures drop below 35 degrees. The City of Fresno Transportation Department provides bus services to these centers free of charge. The Sustainability Division provides home energy audits for exterior and interior energy efficiency rehabilitation. Additionally, area nonprofits receive funding from HUD through the Supportive Housing Program (SHP) to assist homeless families and individuals, and the chronically homeless. Saturday Parks Programs at school sites. The City of Fresno has partnered with local homeless care providers and the FMCoC to adopt and implement a ten year plan to end chronic homelessness. The City of Fresno is a part of the FMCoC and services provided by these agencies are direct services with the goal of ending chronic homelessness. Through the ESG Program the City of Fresno funds agencies that provide services and activities such as: Homelessness and psychosocial assessments Case management City of Fresno PY 2017 Annual Action Plan – Revised DRAFT Page 61 Referrals to other service and programs Transportation; meals Shelter Economic Development Activities As discussed in the Consolidated Plan, the City of Fresno will provide economic development and employment opportunity programs through a variety of funding sources, and will focus its economic activities and budget on four major areas: 1. Foster an environment that will lead to the creation of new jobs and the retention of existing jobs; 2. Encourage entrepreneurs to establish new businesses; 3. Work with existing Fresno businesses to encourage them to stay in Fresno, expand, and create additional jobs; and 4. Attract new businesses to Fresno with a focus on regional job initiative industry clusters. Recent examples of successful economic development efforts include the ground breaking of an Amazon Distribution Center on June 19, 2017. This effort will bring at least 1,500 jobs. Additionally, Ulta Beauty expects to hire 500-1,000 full time employees at their distribution center in Fresno, which is now under construction. Actions planned to develop institutional structure The City is undertaking a series of technological improvements and enhancements designed to streamline development applications, coordinate with other City services and provide more accessible information to the public. While these changes to the City’s land management system will take several years to implement, the actions will provide the public with quick and easy access to zoning, business licensing, permitting, code enforcement, and other data currently difficult to access. Housing Division staff has access to additional online, local and regional training to improve and enhance the City’s knowledge of federal and state funding opportunities. All new funding designated to service established neighborhoods will leverage the federal programs in eligible low-mod census tracts. The City has improved efforts to efficiently and expediently distribute funds related to HUD programs and is requiring the completion of HUD trainings and webinars to maintain the level of expertise required. Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies. The City will continue to participate as a member of the FMCoC with other social service and housing providers for homeless activities, such as the Community Conversations network. City City of Fresno PY 2017 Annual Action Plan – Revised DRAFT Page 62 staff will participate in local and regional workshops designed to develop relationships with other providers and improve coordination. The Administration of the City meets regularly with the Fresno Housing Authority, Fresno County, other cities in the Central Valley, and nonprofit agencies. The City actively recruits new investment in underserved neighborhoods. The NRT Team (now funded through non-federal funds) works closely with a number of partners, including Fresno Unified School District, Habitat for Humanity, and other neighborhood stakeholders, in its neighborhood revitalization efforts. City of Fresno PY 2017 Annual Action Plan – Revised DRAFT Page 63 Monitoring The City of Fresno has established a monitoring system to ensure that federal regulations, local policies and program guidelines are met. The monitoring system encompasses both entitlement program monitoring and project monitoring. The City of Fresno's Monitoring Plan for the Consolidated Plan and each annual Action Plan was established to meet three primary goals: Ensure that all activities and initiatives funded, in part or in whole, with HUD funds are consistent with the approved Consolidated Plan. Ensure that all projects and or programs funded are implemented by a competent subrecipient and administered in a timely and financially prudent manner; and that all funds expended are in compliance with federal regulations. Ensure that all activities funded are evaluated and monitored regularly, and that performance is assessed and reported. Entitlement Program Monitoring Each entitlement program has specific monitoring requirements such as timely use of funds, commitment requirements, and uniform administrative requirements that must be met. The City of Fresno tracks these activities throughout the fiscal year. Project/Activity Monitoring and Administration City of Fresno Staff will determine that the national objective, activity eligibility and appropriate regulatory requirements to monitor the activity/project are established. Monitoring activities include, but are not limited to, compliance with national objectives, labor standards, financial management, and environmental assessments. Staff conducts desk monitoring of drawdown requests throughout the year. Site monitoring will be based on a risk assessment at the beginning of the program year. However, rehabilitation and construction projects are monitored by Project Managers, Housing Specialists and a labor standards review throughout the construction period and the affordability terms. Minority Business Outreach (MBE/WBE) The City of Fresno has established a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (MBE) Program in accordance with the regulations of the U.S Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The City of Fresno in the past has received federal financial assistance from HUD and as a condition of receiving this future/ongoing assistance, the City of Fresno has signed an assurance that it will comply with 24 CFR Subtitle A, Part 85, Subpart C, §85.36.

A description of the guidelines that will be used for resale or recapture of HOME funds when used for homebuyer activities as required in 92.254, is as follows: For HOME-funded homebuyer assistance loans, the Promissory Note, Deed of Trust, and Homebuyer Agreement are the enforcement mechanisms for the city's resale and recapture provisions. The City will use the recapture provisions in all cases where a homebuyer subsidy exists. The City will enforce the minimum periods of affordability based on the amount of homebuyer subsidy provided to the buyer: Five years for less than $15,000 Ten years for between $15,000-$40,000, and Fifteen years for more than $40,000. Recapture provisions are based on 24 CFR 92.254 (a) (5) (ii), which stipulates the conditions for recapture of the HOME investment used to assist low income families in purchasing a home. Homebuyer recapture provisions are included in, or as a deed restriction rider, to the recorded deed of trust that secures a HOME loan Note, and requires recapture of funds if the home does not continue to be the borrower’s principal residence or if all or any part of the property or any interest in it is sold, rented, conveyed or transferred during the duration of the period of affordability. Recapture provisions also stipulate that only the direct subsidy to the homebuyer is subject to recapture, which includes down payment assistance, closing cost, other home assistance provided directly to homebuyer, and the difference between fair market value and the sales price. The net proceeds are the sale price minus the senior loan repayment (other than HOME funds) and any closing costs. If the net proceeds are not sufficient to recapture the full HOME investment plus enable the homeowner to recover the amount of the homeowner’s down payment and any capital improvement investment made by the owner since the purchase, the City may share the net proceeds. The net proceeds may be divided proportionally between the City and the homeowner as set forth in the following mathematical formulas: City of Fresno PY 2017 Annual Action Plan – Revised DRAFT Page 66 HOME subsidy x Net proceeds = HOME amount to be recaptured HOME subsidy + homeowner investment Homeowner investment x Net proceeds = amount to homeowner HOME subsidy + homeowner investment In the event of foreclosure, the amount subject to recapture is based on the amount of net proceeds (if any) from the foreclosure sale. Plans for using HOME funds to refinance existing debt secured by multifamily housing that is rehabilitated with HOME funds along with a description of the refinancing guidelines required that will be used under 24 CFR 92.206(b), are as follows: The City does not refinance existing debt for multifamily housing projects. For the HOME program, describe eligible applicants, your process for soliciting and funding applications/proposals, and where information can be obtained. Does the city plan to limit the beneficiaries or give preferences to a particular segment of the low- income population in its HOME program, and if so, provide a description of the limitation or preference. The City issued a NOFA for affordable housing developers as part of the planning process. Additional details can be found on the City’s website below. A portion of these funds will be reserved for qualified Community Housing Development Organizations (CHDOs). http://www.fresno.gov/Government/DepartmentDirectory/DARM/Housing/default.htm The TBRA program will be administered by the Fresno Housing Authority and will be targeted to homeless households as outlined in the Status Update of the City and County of Fresno 10- Year Plan to End Chronic Homelessness. Interested parties apply in person at the Fresno Housing Authority on 1331 Fulton Mall, Monday through Thursday between the hours of 8:00 am and 4:00 pm. An assessment and case management assignments are made in order to determine the level of assistance and program determination. The HOME-funded rehabilitation program will be administered by the City’s DARM Department. This program will not have any preferences, but homeowners must meet the income criteria and other program guidelines. Applications will also be available on the City’s website at www.Fresno.gov/Housing. The City will conduct outreach when the application process is made available, and establish a contact list of interested applicants prescreened for eligibility, and contacted on a first-come, first-served basis. City of Fresno PY 2017 Annual Action Plan – Revised DRAFT Page 67 Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) 91.220(l)(4) Include written standards for providing ESG assistance (may include as attachment) The City and County administrations have jointly adopted ESG Policies and Procedures (PPGs) for ESG providers. The City continues to work cooperatively with Fresno County and the Fresno Madera Continuum of Care (FMCoC) to update the ESG Policies and Procedures, attached. In addition, the City, County and FMCoC are also working with a consultant to document written standards. If the Continuum of Care has established centralized or coordinated assessment system that meets HUD requirements, describe that centralized or coordinated assessment system. The Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) is used by all local homeless providers participating in the FMCoC. HMIS is a database used to track performance and outcomes for the agencies. As the HMIS Lead of the FMCoC, the Fresno Housing Authority plays a critical role in coordinating the annual Pint-in-Time Count (PITC), collecting data, and distributing results from the annual count. The work of the Housing Authority in this regard meets and exceeds HUD requirements for the implementation and compliance of Homeless Management Information System Standards. The FMCoC’s Coordinated Entry System utilizes a common assessment tool – the Vulnerability Index (VI). The VI gave the community a way to identify and triage individuals most at risk. The VI was enhanced to the Vulnerability Index Service Prioritization Decision Assistance Tool (VI-SPDAT), which further triaged individual’s priority for housing and other services. All member agencies of the FMCoC have committed to using both the assessment tool and the Coordinated Entry System managed in partnership by FMCoC members. The assessment system is a client-centered process that streamlines access to the most appropriate housing interventions for individual or families experiencing homelessness. The Multi-Agency Access Program (MAP) Point at the Poverello House (Pov) was the first coordinated physical entry point collectively developed by the Community Conversations stakeholder group. The MAP Pont at the Pov served as a physical location of the Coordinated Entry System. The program has proved successful in its first two years and has begun expansion. Main components of this process include: 1. Assessment, 2. Navigation and Case Conferencing, 3. Housing Referral with Choice, and 4. Data Collection and Communication. City of Fresno PY 2017 Annual Action Plan – Revised DRAFT Page 68 Identify the process for making sub-awards and describe how the ESG allocation available to private nonprofit organizations (including community and faith-based organizations). The City of Fresno issued a Request for Proposals for the 2017-2018 program year. Prior to this release, the City consulted with the FMCoC on the needs of homeless in the community and the best use of ESG funds per category. Within the HUD defined homeless categories, the City of Fresno has determined the following sub-populations are a high priority for ESG services: Unsheltered homeless persons who are living outdoors or in other places not intended for human habitation; Chronically homeless persons; Homeless veterans; and Other homeless persons who have been identified as highly vulnerable. In addition, the following populations are also a priority for ESG services in the City of Fresno: Unaccompanied youth under the age of 18; Youth aging out of the foster care system; Victims of domestic violence; and Households with children. Proposals that propose to serve these populations will be given additional points in the scoring process. Proposals providing ESG services to populations outside of the identified high priority population will be considered for funding. Bidders may propose to provide all or a portion of the ESG eligible activities stated above. Qualified/eligible vendor(s) are those agencies that are State certified non-profit entities, validly existing in California, with a tax-exempt IRS determination letter, as of the date the bid is submitted, or public agencies that are qualified to receive ESG funds under applicable federal rules. Qualified/eligible vendors are those that have a minimum of two years’ experience serving the beneficiary populations and a minimum of two years’ experience utilizing federal, state and/or local funding. The RFP was published on the City’s website, and widely distributed to an electronic distribution list of over 500 e-mail addresses. A joint review committee reviews applications, and may include the City, County, and FMCoC representatives which rate and rank the City of Fresno PY 2017 Annual Action Plan – Revised DRAFT Page 69 proposals. Recommendations for funding are presented to the Housing and Community Development Commission and to the Fresno City Council for adoption. If the jurisdiction is unable to meet the homeless participation requirement in 24 CFR 576.405(a), the jurisdiction must specify its plan for reaching out to and consulting with homeless or formerly homeless individuals in considering policies and funding decisions regarding facilities and services funded under ESG. During the development of the Consolidated Plan, the City consulted with the FMCoC in making decisions related to ESG funds for the five year cycle. The FMCoC includes representation from the homeless community, which meet the homeless participation requirement in 24 CFR 576.405(a). Describe performance standards for evaluating ESG. The following performance standards are outlined in the City’s adopted written policies, however, updates to the standards are currently under way: 1. Decrease the number of homeless youth and households with children by 10% from the FMCoC Point in Time Count of January 2016. 2. Increase the percentage of participants in transitional housing that move into permanent housing to 80% or more. 3. Increase the percentage of participants that are employed at program exit to 25% or more.

She encouraged the HCDC to continue to look at the partnership that the City has created with community partners, and the Neighborhood Revitalization Team, organizations, and churches they are doing some amazing work. Ms. Delahay observed that the CDBG funds are historically primarily used for City of Fresno departments for programs such as code enforcement and HCDC Needs Hearing–January 25, 2017 Public Comments Received (Continued) graffiti abatement, which is great. However, she would like to encourage that the next funding cycle really looks at how these funds could be used to increase the capacity of organizations in our community. In the Lowell neighborhood, Ms. Delahay commented that paint programs and rehab programs for low income home owners in the target areas have been really helpful. She asked that the City consider funding folks outside the City that can do that type of work. 6. Ms. Elizabeth Terrazas represents the parents of the Hidalgo School, and parents that have children at Yosemite. Her son participates in a sports program, and described that there are times that he can’t be picked up and during this time of the year it gets dark very early and there is no public lighting.

[Commissioner Hardie suggested that he utilize the FresGo application to report these areas.] Mr. Miranda indicated that the whole road is basically a problem with cracks and potholes. 16. Ms. Lisa Guzman, with the Pinedale Community Association, asked that the City please consider finishing some of the sidewalks that remain to be completed. She stated that it would help with people walking on their lawns and would also keep them from having to walk in the streets. Chair Fiske closes the public comments portion of the hearing at 6:10 p.m. HCDC Needs Hearing–January 25, 2017 Housing and Community Development Commission (HCDC) Meeting Housing and Community Development Commission Comments Received 1. Commissioner Falke asked the school representatives of Hidalgo/Leavenworth some clarifying questions regarding whether it was a specific area, or the whole rectangular block Belmont and Cedar, or a more specific area that have lighting challenges. Principal Piedra from Leavenworth replied that for several years the Leavenworth community worked diligently to get sidewalks around the perimeter of their school, but the Hidalgo area has extreme needs around the immediate school and campus. Principle Villalobos further confirmed that Millbrook/White, sidewalks are nonexistent going east and going towards west to First. Streets are very narrow on Thomas going into Hidalgo. But the lights are needed across the board for both schools. An estimate of a total of 2,016 lights, a $55,000 investment is need according to Principal Piedra. 2. Commissioner Falke inquired about how the streets projects are prioritized. Ms. Clark reviewed that there is no carryover with the Publics Facilities at this time. She indicated that the City’s Public Works staff is present and listening to public comments as they prepare their proposed scope of work as it relates to streetlights and sidewalks for the upcoming action plan. As they prepare, Public Works will evaluate where the demands are from the public and where the needs have been identified. In terms of prioritization, Ms. Clark went on to describe that the City has a very limited budget for replacement of streets; there are streets in the community from the 1960 that have never been replaced. So at the current rate of investments it would take many decades to complete rehab or replacement of all of the streets. She spoke to the Public Works ability to leverage multiple funding streams so that more repairs are possible. 3. Commissioner Farrar asks for an estimated cost per light and related savings. Ms. Clark stated that while she did not have that information at hand, some can simply be repaired at a lower cost of others that are not functioning because of issues like wire theft or other issues that require they be replaced completely. Commissioner Farrar asked if there were savings for the new more efficient lights. While assumed, Ms. Clark was unable to provide specific details 4. Commissioner Hardie asked if there are a couple of lights out, does the City have the funds to fix. Ms. Clark thanked Commissioner Hardie for mentioning that residents can report concerns through FresGo, and clarified that the answer to that question depends on the problem with the light. Switching out bulbs is something that can be done in a short period of time. Regardless of the issue with the lights, she encouraged that they be reported to the City. HCDC Needs Hearing–January 25, 2017 Housing and Community Development Commission Comments (Continued) 5. Commissioner McKenzie discussed the options for holding an HCDC meeting in the community and asked if the March 8th meeting would be a good opportunity to attempt this. Ms. Clark mentioned that while the idea could be considered, the March 8th for application presentations is held in the Council Chambers due to the large crowds that usually participate, and that technology needs for recording would need to be considered. She also elaborated that beginning in 2015 with the consolidated planning process; there were a series of workshops in the community. She went on to describe that Mr. Morgan recently held two informational community workshops in the last few weeks presenting the City’s HUD programs, opportunities for engagement and how residents express their needs at these community workshops. Mr. Morgan discussed the workshops further. 6. Continuing discussion was held about having an HCDC meeting once a year in the community. Commissioner Hardie asked Ms. Harris from the audience to clarify her statements about community meetings, Ms. Lewis also spoke about her thoughts that the City should look into putting meeting notices in the water bill as well as consider helping with the transportation for residents to meetings. 7. Chair Fisk commented that last year, City staff provided information to applicants regarding how much funding was available to the non-city entities. Ms. Clark confirmed that staff will do their best to estimate, and make sure those dollar amounts are made available again this year in the Notice of Funding Availability. Chair Fisk closed the Public Needs Hearing, including Commissioners comments at 6:32 p.m. and restated that no action is to be taken. 30 Day Public Comment Period April 3, 2017 – May 4, 2017 Draft Annual Action Plan Released for Public Comment April 3, 2017 Comments Received by Fax No Comments Received Comments Received by Letter No Comments Received Comments Received by Telephone No Comments Received Comments Received by E-mail Mario Rios with Villar Construction Inc. expressed his support to the staff within the Housing Division for the Senior Paint Program.

He stated that Villar Construction, Inc. would miss this program if it is given to other non-profit agencies. HCDC AAP Public Hearing–May 10, 2017 Housing and Community Development Commission (HCDC) Meeting 2017-2018 Annual Action Plan Public Comments Received 1. Grecia Elenes with Leadership Counsel for Justice and Accountability commented that she was unable to provide a written comment letter on time, but plans to do so in time for the next public comment period related to the Annual Action Plan. She outlined several really great things included in the Annual Action Plan, including aspects that were part of the City’s Housing Element. Ms. Elenes was happy to see City is taking steps to look at post-RDA properties for affordable housing. She commented on issues where she would like to see improvements also. Given severity of poverty, the Annual Action Plan neighborhoods are low and moderate income. Ms. Elenes recommend focusing investments in low income neighborhoods only. She stated that additional funding would be allocated to the Senior Paint Programs and given the public comments mentioned infrastructure and park issues she recommended that instead the Annual Action Plan prioritize basic sidewalks and lighting over other programs. She spoke to the importance of mentioning $1 million in funds through the City’s 2016-2017 budget that should be included in the leveraging section of the Annual Action Plan. Ms. Elenes also commented that there was significant community input for the Active Transportation Plan, and recommend using the matrix of projects from the Active Transportation Plan for the Annual Action Plan also. She also indicated that the City’s General Plan prioritized resources in high need neighborhoods around school areas. She suggested that the City look at existing plans, and reinforce their goals through Annual Action Plan. HCDC AAP Public Hearing–May 10, 2017 Housing and Community Development Commission (HCDC) Meeting 2017-2018 Annual Action Plan Commissioner Comments Received 1. Commissioner Reyes commented that it was very helpful to have the public needs hearing comments included and recalled the testimony of residents and school representatives. He recognized that many of the comments were reflected in the draft Annual Action Plan as projects for neighborhood street improvements but asked for clarification related to how far the funds would go to the needs identified. Commissioner Reyes confirmed that it is very valuable to have the public input as it really has value for the community to organize and express common desire for street improvements because it is addressed in the Annual Action Plan. 2. Commissioner Farrar inquired if the lighting was a conversion. 3. Chair Fiske asked for an explanation between collector and neighborhood streets. 4. Chair Fiske indicated that the projects being discussed would be included in the budget and asked for clarity on the timeline for the projects to potentially begin. 5. Commissioner McKenzie spoke about the current Substantial Amendment process and inquired whether or not the Substantial Amendment timeline would be affected by the Annual Action Plan. City Council AAP Public Hearing–May 11, 2017 City of Fresno Council Meeting 2017-2018 Annual Action Plan Public Comments Received Upon call for public comment, the following people addressed Council: 1. Grecia Elenes with Leadership Counsel for Justice and Accountability – felt there were great features in the AAP to reduce barriers to produce affordable housing. She noted many of the features were in the chapter six Housing Element which her organization worked on to ensure it reflected the community voice. Her organization also looked forward to collaborating on the use of ''post RDA properties" being used for affordable housing. Ms. Elenes suggested: developing infrastructure and addressing community needs not just in low and moderate income neighborhoods but the neighborhoods with the highest rates of poverty; leveraging existing resources for additional federal funding applications, and; alignment of the AAP with the Active Transportation Plan and the General Plan. 2. Lucianna Ventresca and Nicole Linder with Marjaree Mason Center ("MMC) stated the MMC was awarded "Emergency Shelter" grant funds in an amount that barely covered one and a half positions. They asked for the MMC to be considered for an additional award, if funds became available, because of the importance of the work it did. They explained that MMC operated more than 138 emergency shelter beds within the City that primarily housed families and survivors of domestic violence. Public comment was closed at 10:24 A.M.

If source documents AND written third party verification is unobtainable, a written statement by the client or client’s intake staff describing the efforts taken to obtain the required evidence AND self-certification by client, identifying the required information needed. Income Determination All sub-grantees are required to determine a client’s annual income, to verify that the client is income-eligible (annual income is at or below 30% of the area median income). To qualify for ESG assistance persons and/or households must earn 30 percent or below of the Area Median Income, as these are set annually by HUD, by household size. Annual income limits will be provided to each sub-recipient as they are made available by HUD. In determining the annual income of an individual or family, the subrecipient must use the standard for calculating anticipated annual income under 24 CFR 5.609. a) Annual income means all amounts, monetary or not, that go to, or are on behalf of, the family head or spouse (even if temporarily absent) or to any other family member 18 years old or older, or all amounts anticipated to be received from a source outside the family, during the 12-month period following admission or annual reexamination effective date.

The worksheet can also be provided in excel format from the City/County upon request. Attachment C Page 10 of 35 City and County of Fresno ESG Policies and Procedures Page 10 of 22 Treatment of Assets Clients will be required to spend down their assets to an amount of $500.00 before they become eligible to receive financial assistance. The assets to be considered for the draw down will be limited only to balances in a personal checking or savings account held by any household member. Assets held in a retirement or education account, or personal property are not included as part of this requirement. Determining Household Size Income limits are published based on the number of persons in the household (for example, 1 person, 2 persons, 3 persons) with increasingly higher income limits for families with more members. When determining family size for establishing income eligibility, the sub-grantee must include all persons living in the unit except the following: a. Live-in aide (1) A person who resides with one or more elderly persons, near- elderly persons, or persons with disabilities, and who: (a) Is determined to be essential to the care and wellbeing of the person(s); (b) Is not obligated for the support of the person(s); and (c) Would not be living in the unit except to provide the necessary supportive services. (2) To qualify as a live-in aide: (a) The sub-grantee must verify the need for the live-in aide. Verification that the live-in aide is needed to provide the necessary supportive services essential to the care and well- being of the person must be obtained from the person’s physician, psychiatrist or other medical practitioner or health care provider. The sub-grantee must approve a live-in aide if needed as a reasonable accommodation in accordance with 24 CFR Part 8 to make the program accessible to and usable by the family member with a disability. The sub- grantee may verify whether the live-in aide is necessary only to the extent necessary to document that applicants or tenants who have requested a live-in aide have a disability- related need for the requested accommodation. This may Attachment C Page 11 of 35 City and County of Fresno ESG Policies and Procedures Page 11 of 22 include verification from the person’s physician, psychiatrist or other medical practitioner or health care provider. The sub-grantee may not require applicants or tenants to provide access to confidential medical records or to submit to a physical examination. (b) Expenses for services provided by the live-in aide, such as nursing services (dispensing of medications or providing other medical needs) and personal care (such as bathing or dressing), that are out-of-pocket expenses for the tenant and where the tenant is not reimbursed for the expenses from other sources, are considered as eligible medical expenses. Homemaker services such as housekeeping and meal preparation are not eligible medical expenses (see below for more information on medical expenses.) (c) Qualifies for occupancy only as long as the individual needing supportive services requires the aide’s services and remains a tenant. The live-in aide may not qualify for continued occupancy as a remaining family member. (d) Income of a live-in aide is excluded from annual income. (3) A relative may be considered to be a live-in aide if they meet the requirements in 1(a) through (c), above. (4) An adult child is eligible to move into an assisted property after initial occupancy only if they are essential to the care or well-being of the elderly parent(s). The adult child may be considered a live-in aide if all of the requirements in 1, above, apply and there is a verified need for a live-in aide in accordance with 2(a), above. (5) An adult child is not eligible to move into an assisted property after initial occupancy unless they are performing the functions of a live- in aide and are eligible to be classified as a live-in aide for eligibility purposes. b. Foster children or foster adults. c. Guests. When determining family size for income limits, the sub-grantee must include the following individuals who are not living in the unit: a. Children temporarily absent due to placement in a foster home; Attachment C Page 12 of 35 City and County of Fresno ESG Policies and Procedures Page 12 of 22 b. Children in joint custody arrangements who are present in the household 50% or more of the time; c. Children who are away at school but who live with the family during school recesses; d. Unborn children of pregnant women. e. Children who are in the process of being adopted. f. Temporarily absent family members who are still considered family members. For example, the sub-grantee may consider a family member who is working in another state on assignment to be temporarily absent; g. Family members in the hospital or rehabilitation facility for periods of limited or fixed duration. These persons are temporarily absent as defined in subparagraph f above; and h. Persons permanently confined to a hospital or nursing home. The family decides if such persons are included when determining family size for income limits. If such persons are included, they must not be listed as the head, co-head, or spouse on the lease or but may be listed as other adult family member. This is true even when the confined person is the spouse of the person who is or will become the head. If the family chooses to include the permanently confined person as a member of the household, the sub-grantee must include income received by these persons in calculating family income. Client’s Share of Rent Costs The City/County will enforce a graduated subsidy format for determining the ESG client’s share of rental costs. A graduated subsidy declines in steps based upon a fixed timeline, until the household assumes full responsibility for monthly housing costs. A graduated subsidy will help reduce the destabilizing cliff effect of a deep subsidy suddently ending. Declining subsidies allow the household to gradually take over the responsibility of paying rent, and builds both a cushion and confidence along the way. Initial assistance can be as much as 100% of rental assistance, then decreasing monthly, or every other month, in accordance with client needs and case plan objectives that are developed by the client and the sub-grantee’s case manager. Timelines are based on maximum term of assistance; however, clients should be transitioned off of assistance in as short of a timeframe as is appropriate for them to successfully obtain housing stability.

Some of these extenuating circumstances may include, but is not limited to, reunification with a child, loss of employment (income), drop in income, medical emergency/illness, loss of other resources. In these cases, the sub-grantee will verify and document in each file the reasons for increasing financial assistance, and advise the City and/or County in regards to the specific circumstances of the client, to ensure the City/County will approve the change before it is enacted. Determination of Unit Size Requirements The City and County will require each sub-grantee to determine the appropriate number of bedrooms needed by an individual or family when it determines family eligibility for financial assistance, based on the information below. The following requirements apply when determining the family unit size: The unit size determination must provide for the smallest number of bedrooms needed to house a family without overcrowding, regardless of the amount of the payment standard. The unit size determinations must be applied consistently for all families of like size and composition. A child who is temporarily away from the home because of placement in foster care is considered a member of the family in determining the family’s unit size. Attachment C Page 15 of 35 City and County of Fresno ESG Policies and Procedures Page 15 of 22 A family that consists of a pregnant woman only (with no other household members), must be treated as a two-person family. Two elderly or disabled household members may be given separate bedrooms. Any live-in aide (approved by the sub-grantee to reside in the unit to care for a family member who is disabled or is at least 50 years of age) must be counted in determining the family unit size. Unless a live-in aide resides with the family, the family unit size for any family consisting of a single person must be either a zero or one-bedroom unit. The City and County of Fresno will allow sub-grantees to provide for case-by-case exceptions to this rule, only after the following has been met: 1. The client has searched for available zero or one-bedroom units, and at least 4 apartment complexes have been searched with no availability at that bedroom size as evidenced in writing. The sub-grantee may allow the client to rent up to a 2 bedroom unit as long as the payment is equal to the 0-1 bedroom payment. 2. Client agrees in writing that they will not add additional person(s) to the lease nor move in any additional persons into the assisted unit without first seeking the approval of both the sub-grantee and the landlord. The client will have to be re-evaluated for eligibility on a monthly basis. UNIT SIZE REQUIREMENTS Unit Size Range Maximum Household Size 0 – 1 BR 2 2 BR 4 3-BR 6 4-BR 8 5-BR 10+ Rent Reasonableness Rental assistance paid cannot exceed the actual rental cost, which must be in compliance with HUD’s standard of “rent reasonableness.” “Rent reasonableness” means that the total rent charged for a unit must be reasonable in relation to the rents being charged during the same time period for comparable units in the private unassisted market and must not be in excess of rents being charged by the owner during the same time period for comparable non-luxury unassisted units. To make this determination, sub-grantees should consider (a) the location, quality, size, type, and Attachment C Page 16 of 35 City and County of Fresno ESG Policies and Procedures Page 16 of 22 age of the unit; and (b) any amenities, housing services, maintenance and utilities to be provided by the owner. Comparable rents can be checked by using a market study, by reviewing comparable units advertised for rent, or with a note from the property owner verifying the comparability of charged rents to other units owned (for example, the landlord would document the rents paid in other units). All sub-grantees will be required to fill out the attached Exhibit C: Rent Reasonableness Checklist and Certification in its entirety, for each client assisted with rent, and keep the record in the client file. The form includes several columns where the sub-grantee is expected to find comparables units and comparable rates. In filling out the form, sub- grantees cannot exclusively utilize units within the same apartment complex that the client will be renting, nor can the sub-grantee utilize units that are more than 1 mile away from the unit to be rented. Rental, Security and Utility Payments Sub-grantees must not make payments directly to program participants, but only to third parties, such as landlords or utility companies. In addition, an assisted property may not be owned by the grantee, sub-grantee or the parent, subsidiary or affiliated organization of the sub-grantee. Sub-grantees can only make rental payments and/or security deposits for clients that have a signed lease for their eligible unit. Additionally, the program participant must be named on the lease. Therefore, assistance could not be provided to an individual renting from a friend or relative if a legal lease is not in place. In cases where an individual is renting a unit from a friend or relative and a legal lease is in place, sub-grantees providing assistance must ensure that the arrangement is not in violation of conflict of interest laws and the rent charged and the terms of the lease must be the same for the participant as they are for other tenants renting comparable units. If two unrelated individuals are joint parties to a lease, a sub-grantee must consider total household income to determine eligibility (i.e., either the whole household is eligible for assistance, or the whole household is not). A sub-grantee can provide rental assistance to a client residing at a board and care facility only as long as each resident of the group home, assisted living facility, or boarding house has an individual lease, and has been assessed and certified to be eligible to receive ESG assistance. Please note that financial assistance for persons in a group home-type setting is limited to: rent, security deposits, utility deposits, and utility payments. Service fee charges that might be applied at assisted living facilities are not eligible. In addition, if there is another rental subsidy being provided, ESG cannot be used for rent, and if there is a utility subsidy being provided, ESG cannot be used for utilities. Attachment C Page 17 of 35 City and County of Fresno ESG Policies and Procedures Page 17 of 22 If sub-grantee incurrs late fees due to a late submittal of a rental payment, these cannot be reimbursed by, or paid out of, ESG funds. In addition, the ESG Program also requires a rental assistance agreement between the sub-grantee and the housing owner. Maximum Rent Rental assistance cannot be provided unless the rent does not exceed the Fair Market Rent established by HUD, as provided under 24 CFR part 888. Habitability Standards Sub-grantees providing rental assistance with ESG funds will be required to conduct initial and any appropriate follow-up inspections of housing units into which a program participant will be moving. Units should be inspected on an annual basis and upon a change of tenancy. Inspection of each unit must include the filling out and filing of the attached Exhibit D: ESG Housing Habitability Standards Inspection Checklist. Sub- grantees are to ensure that experienced staff performs all habitability inspections Rental Payments in Arrears Rental assistance may be used to pay up to 6 months of rental arrears for eligible program participants. Rental arrears may be paid if the payment enables the program participant to remain in the housing unit for which the arrears are being paid or move to another unit. If HPRP funds are used to pay rental arrears, arrears must be included in determining the total period of the program participant’s rental assistance. Lead Based Paint Visual Assessment Requirements Sub-grantees are required to provide a visual assessment of each selected property for client habitability to ensure that there are no hazards related Lead Based Paint. Visual assessments can be conducted by a HUD-Certified Visual Assessor under ESG, and must meet the requirements as outlined in the Lead-Based Paint Poisoning Prevention Act, as noted in Section VII.F of the Notice. A 20-minute online training course on conducting visual assessments can be found on HUD’s website at http://www.hud.gov/offices/lead/training/visualassessment/h00101.htm. After successful completion of the online course, sub-grantees will receive a certificate of completion which qualifies them for conducting the assessments. All sub-grantees are required to have at least one staff member conduct the test and pass. Attachment & Page 18 of 35 City and County of Fresno ESG Policies and Procedures Page 18 of 22 Sub-grantees are also required to fill out and sign the ESG Lead Screening Worksheet, as enclosed in Exhibit E, and the ESG Lead-Based Paint Document Checklist, as enclosed also in Exhibit F, for each client receiving assistance. Please note, that the form has a last page that requires staff signature and date. Sub- grantees will ensure that the form is signed and dated properly. Reporting Requirements HMIS Sub-grantees are required to input HMIS client data as soon as feasibly possible, and at least on a bi-weekly basis. City and County staff will be working with the Housing Authority to pull data on a monthly basis and will contact sub-grantees who have not utilized HMIS as required. This reporting requirement is set forth to facilitate sub- grantee’s quarter-end reporting process and to assist the City/County in its quarterly reporting to the federal government and HUD. Sub-grantees who fail to meet this requirement will be in default of their agreement, which will trigger a performance review by the City and/or County. Monthly/Quarterly Reporting Sub-grantees are required to provide a monthly activity report to the City and/or County in addition to a quarterly performance report to the City and/or County, in the form attached as Exhibit G: Performance Reports. Request for Disbursements Sub-grantees will be allowed to request disbursements in arrears, for services provided during the preceding month, and only as identified in their appropriate ESG Agreements/Contracts. Reimbursements shall be made in compliance with the terms of the agreement(s). All requests for disbursements must be accompanied by sufficient supportive documentation verifying actual costs incurred. City/County staff will review funding disbursement requests to ensure that funds requested are for allowable costs and are within the budget as established in the Agreements/Contracts. All requests for disbursements will be only in the form(s) as provided in the attached Exhibit H: ESG Funds Disbursement Request. Attachment & Page 19 of 35 City and County of Fresno ESG Policies and Procedures Page 19 of 22 Policy on Security and Utility Deposits HUD is giving grantees the discretion to determine how to handle returned security deposits. The City/County of Fresno will not require it’s sub-grantees to recover a utility security deposit (i.e. PG&E) as these are credited as payment toward a final bill if service is turned off within the first 12 months of service. Beyond 12 months, the deposit is credited toward the 13 month of service (or close to it) if there are 12 consecutive on- time payments made. If there are not 12 consecutive on time payments, the deposit will be used for the final month of service. Each sub-grantee who provides a utility deposit on behalf of an eligible client using ESG services shall make payment of such deposit directly to the vendor (utility provider, landlord or property manager) on behalf of the client. Clients are not eligible to receive a reimbursement for utility deposits which have been previously paid by them or paid on their behalf. Each sub-grantee who provides a utility deposit shall count the deposit payment as one additional month of support for that eligible client. In case of security deposits on housing units each sub-grantee who provides a security deposit on behalf of an eligible client using ESG services shall make payment of such deposit directly to the landlord or property manager on behalf of the client. Clients are not eligible to receive a reimbursement for deposits which have been previously paid by them or paid on their behalf. Each sub-grantee who provides a rental deposit shall count the deposit payment as one additional month of support for that eligible client. The security deposit minus any portion kept from the deposit, that may be needed to pay for costs incurred by the tenant such as damages to the unit, shall be returned to the sub-grantee and treated as program income. This program income can be utilized by the sub-grantee to pay for other eligible client deposits following the same method. Program income must be accounted for separately by each sub-grantee, and reported to the City/County. Immigration Status All sub-grantees are required to verify if a proposed client is a qualified alien. The City and County of Fresno have provided alternate requirements for victims of domestic violence due to the imminent danger these clients are facing. Additionally: Attachment & Page 20 of 35 City and County of Fresno ESG Policies and Procedures Page 20 of 22 As long as there is one adult with legal status in the household and he/she is the primary lessee on the lease, the sub-grantee can serve that household. The sub-grantee will count ALL adults and children in the household, and enter them in HMIS The sub-grantee will only count income from/for those individuals who have legal status. The sub-grantee will NOT count income from those who do not have legal status because their income is not legal. Confidentiality Each sub-grantee must develop and implement procedures to ensure: 1. The confidentiality of records pertaining to any individual provided with assistance; and 2. That the address or location of any assisted housing will not be made public, except to the extent that this prohibition contradicts a preexisting privacy policy of the grantee. Such procedures must be provided to the City/County before implementation of the program commences. Termination of Housing Assistance A sub-grantee may terminate assistance to a program participant who violates program requirements. Sub-grantees may resume assistance to a program participant whose assistance was previously terminated. In terminating assistance to a program participant, the sub-grantee must provide a formal process that recognizes the rights of individuals receiving assistance to due process of law. This process, at a minimum, must consist of: 1. Written notice to the program participant containing a clear statement of the reasons for termination; 2. A review of the decision, in which the program participant is given the opportunity to present written or oral objections before a person other than the person (or a subordinate of that person) who made or approved the termination decision; and 3. Prompt written notice of the final decision to the program participant. Such procedures must be provided to the City/County before implementation of the program commences. Attachment & Page 21 of 35 City and County of Fresno ESG Policies and Procedures Page 21 of 22 Non-Discrimination No person in the United States shall, on the ground of race, color, religion, national origin or sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subject to discrimination under any program or activity funded in whole or in part with funds made available through the City’s ESG Program, or any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance. Appeals If an application is turned down by a sub-grantee, the applicant may appeal, in writing, within ten (10) days after the occurrence. The appeal must clearly state the reasons for the appeal. The appeal will be filed with the sub-grantee, who will review the appeal and respond. For City of Fresno Applicants: If the appellant is not satisfied with the response of the sub-grantee, the appeal may be presented to the City of Fresno Homeless Policy and Prevention Manager within thirty (30) days of the sub-grantee’s response. The City will attempt to resolve the grievance within fifteen (15) days. The ruling of the City will be final. For County of Fresno Applicants: If the appellant is not satisfied with the response of the sub-grantee, the appeal may be presented to the County of Fresno ESG County Coordinator within thirty (30) days of the sub-grantee’s response. The County will attempt to resolve the grievance within fifteen (15) days. The ruling of the County will be final. City/County Administration of the Program The City and County of Fresno propose to jointly administer their respective ESG Programs, including updates as needed to this policies and procedures manual. Both agencies will jointly issue a request for funding availability, and work together to select the agencies (sub-grantees) who will receive ESG funding, based on the allocation levels identified in the Action Plans. Each entity will contract individually with each selected vendor. The City/County propose to administer ESG sub-grantee agreements over a two term period. Monitoring City/County of Fresno staff will meet with all service providers on a monthly basis to discuss performance, rules, and processess, coordinate services, collaboratively exhange best practices and discuss concerns in administering the program. City/County staff will conduct on-site monitoring and audits of all selected service providers to ensure proper administration of the program. All sub-grantees will be Attachment & Page 22 of 35 City and County of Fresno ESG Policies and Procedures Page 22 of 22 required to submit monthly, quarterly and yearly reports to the City/County to ensure performance measures are being met. Additionally, the City/County will audit all requests for reimbursement of ESG funds before these are paid to the selected City service providers. Amendments To Program Rules The Fresno City Manager’s office, or his/her designee(s), may change City program requirements from time to time to meet program objectives. The County Administrative Officer, or his/her designee(s), may change County program requirements from time to time to meet program objectives. All changes will be required to meet ESG guidelines.

DEPARTMENT/AGENCY NAME: S IGNATURE: D ATE: Attachment & Page 26 of 35 Exhibit D: ESG Housing Habitability Standards Inspection Checklist About this Tool These standards apply only when a program participant is receiving financial assistance and moving into a new (different) unit. Inspections must be conducted upon initial occupancy and then on an annual basis for the term of ESG assistance. The habitability standards are different from the Housing Quality Standards (HQS) used for other HUD programs. Because the HQS criteria are more stringent than the habitability standards, a grantee could use either standard. In contrast to HQS inspections, the habitability standards do not require a certified inspector. As such, ESG program staff could conduct the inspections, using a form such as this one to document compliance. Instructions: Mark each statement as ‘A’ for approved or ‘D’ for deficient. The property must meet all standards in order to be approved. A copy of this checklist should be placed in the client file. Approved or Deficient Element 1. Structure and materials: The structures must be structurally sound so as not to pose any threat to the health and safety of the occupants and so as to protect the residents from hazards. 2. Access: The housing must be accessible and capable of being utilized without unauthorized use of other private properties. Structures must provide alternate means of egress in case of fire. 3. Space and security: Each resident must be afforded adequate space and security for themselves and their belongings. Each resident must be provided with an acceptable place to sleep. 4. Interior air quality: Every room or space must be provided with natural or mechanical ventilation. Structures must be free of pollutants in the air at levels that threaten the health of residents. 5.

Initial: Attachment & Page 28 of 35 Exhibit E ESG Lead Screening Worksheet About this Tool The ESG Lead Screening Worksheet is intended to guide grantees through the lead‐based paint inspection process to ensure compliance with the rule. ESG staff can use this worksheet to document any exemptions that may apply, whether any potential hazards have been identified, and if safe work practices and clearance are required and used. A copy of the completed worksheet along with any additional documentation should be kept in each program participant’s case file. Instructions To prevent lead-poisoning in young children, ESG grantees must comply with the Lead-Based Paint Poisoning Prevention Act of 1973 and its applicable regulations found at 24 CFR 35, Parts A, B, M, and R. Under certain circumstances, a visual assessment of the unit is not required. This screening worksheet will help program staff determine whether a unit is subject to a visual assessment, and if so, how to proceed. A copy of the completed worksheet along with any related documentation should be kept in each program participant’s file. Note: ALL pre-1978 properties are subject to the disclosure requirements outlined in 24 CFR 35, Part A, regardless of whether they are exempt from the visual assessment requirements. Part 1: Determine Whether the Unit is Subject to a Visual Assessment If the answer to one or both of the following questions is ‘no,’ a visual assessment is not triggered for this unit and no further action is required at this time. Place this screening worksheet and related documentation in the program participant’s file. If the answer to both of these questions is ‘yes,’ then a visual assessment is triggered for this unit and program staff should continue to Part 2. 1. Was the leased property constructed before 1978? Yes No 2. Will a child under the age of six be living in the unit occupied by the household receiving ESG assistance? Yes No Basic Information Name of Participant Address Unit Number City State Zip ESG Program Staff Attachment & Page 29 of 35 Part 2: Document Additional Exemptions If the answer to any of the following questions is ‘yes,’ the property is exempt from the visual assessment requirement and no further action is needed at this point. Place this screening sheet and supporting documentation for each exemption in the program participant’s file. If the answer to all of these questions is ‘no,’ then continue to Part 3 to determine whether deteriorated paint is present. 1. Is it a zero-bedroom or SRO-sized unit? Yes No 2. Has X-ray or laboratory testing of all painted surfaces by certified personnel been conducted in accordance with HUD regulations and the unit is officially certified to not contain lead-based paint? Yes No 3. Has this property had all lead-based paint identified and removed in accordance with HUD regulations? Yes No 4. Is the client receiving Federal assistance from another program, where the unit has already undergone (and passed) a visual assessment within the past 12 months (e.g., if the client has a Section 8 voucher and is receiving ESG assistance for a security deposit or arrears)? Yes (Obtain documentation for the case file.) No 5. Does the property meet any of the other exemptions described in 24 CFR Part 35.115(a). Yes No Please describe the exemption and provide appropriate documentation of the exemption. Part 3: Determine the Presence of Deteriorated Paint To determine whether there are any identified problems with paint surfaces, program staff should conduct a visual assessment prior to providing ESG financial assistance to the unit as outlined in the following training on HUD’s website at: http://www.hud.gov/offices/lead/training/visualassessment/h00101.htm. If no problems with paint surfaces are identified during the visual assessment, then no further action is required at this time. Place this screening sheet and certification form (Attachment A) in the program participant’s file. If any problems with paint surfaces are identified during the visual assessment, then continue to Part 4 to determine whether safe work practices and clearance are required. 1. Has a visual assessment of the unit been conducted? Yes Attachment & Page 30 of 35 No 2. Were any problems with paint surfaces identified in the unit during the visual assessment? Yes No (Complete Attachment A – Lead-Based Paint Visual Assessment Certification Form) Part 4: document the level of identified problems All deteriorated paint identified during the visual assessment must be repaired prior to clearing the unit for assistance. However, if the area of paint to be stabilized exceeds the de minimus levels (defined below), the use of lead safe work practices and clearance is required. If deteriorating paint exists but the area of paint to be stabilized does not exceed these levels, then the paint must be repaired prior to clearing the unit for assistance, but safe work practices and clearance are not required. 1. Does the area of paint to be stabilized exceed any of the de minimus levels below? 20 square feet on exterior surfaces Yes No 2 square feet in any one interior room or space Yes No 10 percent of the total surface area on an interior or exterior component with a small surface area, like window sills, baseboards, and trim Yes No If any of the above are ‘yes,’ then safe work practices and clearance are required prior to clearing the unit for assistance. Part 5: Confirm all identified deteriorated paint has been stabilized Program staff should work with property owners/managers to ensure that all deteriorated paint identified during the visual assessment has been stabilized. If the area of paint to be stabilized does not exceed the de minimus level, safe work practices and a clearance exam are not required (though safe work practices are always recommended). In these cases, the ESG program staff should confirm that the identified deteriorated paint has been repaired by conducting a follow-up assessment. If the area of paint to be stabilized exceeds the de minimus level, program staff should ensure that the clearance inspection is conducted by an independent certified lead professional. A certified lead professional may go by various titles, including a certified paint inspector, risk assessor, or sampling/clearance technician. Note, the clearance inspection cannot be conducted by the same firm that is repairing the deteriorated paint. 1. Has a follow-up visual assessment of the unit been conducted? Yes No 2. Have all identified problems with the paint surfaces been repaired? Yes No 3. Were all identified problems with paint surfaces repaired using safe work practices? Attachment& Page 31 of 35 Yes No Not Applicable – The area of paint to be stabilized did not exceed the de minimus levels. 4. Was a clearance exam conducted by an independent, certified lead professional? Yes No Not Applicable – The area of paint to be stabilized did not exceed the de minimus levels. 5. Did the unit pass the clearance exam? Yes No Not Applicable – The area of paint to be stabilized did not exceed the de minimus levels. Note: A copy of the clearance report should be placed in the program participant’s file.

ESG and HOPWA funds are earmarked to assist the homeless and persons living with AIDS/HIV, respectively. The funds are used to pursue three goals: (1) Provide decent, affordable housing (2) Create suitable living environments, and (3) Expand economic opportunities. In order to access these federal funds, the City of Fresno (City) must carry out a planning process to identify the scope of housing and community development needs in its jurisdiction and how the available funding can best be used to meet those needs. This planning process, called the Consolidated Plan, was conducted in late 2014 and early 2015. T he term of the plan began on July 1, 2015 and will end on June 30, 2020. A full copy of the Consolidated Plan is available for review at the City’s Development and Resources Management (DARM) Department and online at www.fresno.gov/housing. Each year, the City prepares an Annual Action Plan that describes the projects and actions it will undertake to carry out the strategies outlined in the Consolidated Plan. This document is the Third Year Annual Action Plan, covering the period from July 1, 2017 to June 30, 2018. Summary of Objectives and Outcomes Fresno, located in the center of California’s Central Valley, stands as the largest city in the County of Fresno (County), and is the fifth largest city in the State of California. The City encompasses an area of 113 square miles and is surrounded by mostly rural residential and agricultural land. Fresno has a population of over half a million (520,052) residents, a total of 161,914 households, with a median income of $42,015. City of Fresno PY 2017 Annual Action Plan – May April 3 Revised DRAFT Page 2 Of distinct concern is the comparatively high poverty level found in the city, as the Fresno’s poverty rate is double that of the State of California and is 14 percent higher than the poverty rate for the County. Additionally, the percentage of families experiencing extreme poverty (those with family incomes under $10,000) is more than double the extreme poverty rate of the state. This contributes to the fact that 47 percent of households are cost burdened and paying more than 30 percent of their income toward housing costs. From 2000 to 2013 median home values in the city increased by 82 percent and median contract rent increased by 94 percent. During the same time period the median household income increased by only 30 percent. This indicates that incomes are not keeping pace with the increasing cost of housing. Public Comments At the time of this writing, HUD has yet to announce the FY2017 CDBG, HOME, ESG, and HOPWA allocations. The City made the Program Year 2017-2018 (PY 2017) Draft Annual Action Plan available for public comment April 3, 2017 through May 4, 2017. On June 14, 2017, HUD announce the PY 2017 allocations for CDBG, HOME, ESG, and HOPWA. Because HUD had not yet made an allocation announcement prior to public hearings conducted May 10, 2017 and May 11, 2017, the City has made revisions to reflect the announced allocations and made available the Revised Draft PY 2017 Annual Action Plan for a 14-day public comment period (HUD issued waiver 5/10/17 allowing a 14-day public comment period) for the Annual Action Plan. The Revised Draft PY 2017 Annual Action Plan is available for public comment June 29, through July 14, 2017. Information on how to submit public comments is provided below. City of Fresno Development and Resource Management Department Attention: Tom Morgan, Housing and Community Development Manager 2600 Fresno Street, Room 3065 Fresno, California 93721 Phone: (559) 621-8003 Fax: (559) 559-457-1054 TTY: (559) 621-8721 Email: thomas.morgan@fresno.gov (Please type “PY17 Action Plan” in the subject line) Based on HUD guidance, all proposed project budgets are set to a percentage of the allocation amounts for the purpose of public review. The amounts listed within may change based on the actual allocations announced by HUD. HUD has issued additional guidance that the draft Annual Action Plan, during the Public Comment period, shall provide a description as to how the City will adjust draft allocations once actual allocations have been announced by HUD. The City will adjust forecasted allocations to actual allocations as follows: City of Fresno PY 2017 Annual Action Plan – May April 3 Revised DRAFT Page 3 In the event the actual CDBG allocation increases or decreases from the estimated funding level herein, CDBG funding will be adjusted as follows: Inter-category Adjustment - The Budget across the fourive CDBG categories (Section 108 Loan Repayment, Planning and Administration, Public Services, Community Facilities and Public Infrastructure, and Housing) will be adjusted as follows: Section 108 Loan Repayment – This activity’s budget is fixed by a contractual obligation with HUD and will not be adjusted. Planning and Administration shall be an amount equal to 20 percent of the Actual CDBG Allocation Public Services, Community Facilities and Public Improvements, and Housing – The budgets for these three categories of activities will be proportionally increased or decreased from estimated funding levels to match the Actual CDBG Allocation minus the Section 108 Loan Repayment. Since the Public Service category cannot exceed 15 percent of the Actual CDBG Allocation, any proportional adjustment resulting in the Public Service budget exceeding the 15 percent cap will result in the portion of the budget over the 15 percent cap being evenly allocated (50/50 split) to the Community Facilities and Public Improvements and Housing categories. Intra-category Adjustment - The budgets within each CDBG category will be adjusted as follows: Public Services – Public Service activities budgets, in the event of a decreased actual CDBG allocation, shall be proportionally decreased. In the event of an increased actual allocation, the increase will be proportionally allocated to PARCS Senior Hot Meals and PARCS After School Programs. (Note: Subrecipient funding levels will not exceed selected subrecipient funding requests.) Community Facilities and Public Improvements - Community Facilities and Public Improvements activities budgets in the event of a decreased actual CDBG allocation, shall be proportionally decreased. In the event of an increased actual allocation, the increase will be proportionally allocated to Public Works and PARCS Community Facilities and Public Improvements. (Note: Subrecipient funding levels will not exceed subrecipient funding requests.). Housing - In the event of a decreased actual CDBG allocation, the activities in the Housing category shall be proportionally decreased. In the event of an increased Actual Allocation, the City of Fresno PY 2017 Annual Action Plan – May April 3 Revised DRAFT Page 4 full amount of the increase will be allocated to the Lead Paint Abatement and Senior Paint Program. In the event the actual HOME allocation increases or decreases from the estimated funding level, HOME will be adjusted as follows: Administration shall be amount equal to 10 percent of the actual HOME allocation; CHDO Set-aside shall be amount equal to 15 percent of the actual HOME allocation, plus $261,486 of rolled over CHDO Set-aside from the prior fiscal year; and For the remaining 75 percent of the actual HOME allocation, the first $420,000 of any decreased actual HOME allocation will result in a corresponding decrease to the Housing Development activity. Should the decrease in actual HOME allocation exceed $420,000, the amount of any decrease in excess of $420,000 shall be proportionally divided between the Housing Rehabilitation and the TBRA activities. In the event of an increased Actual HOME Allocation, the increase will be fully allocated to Housing Development activities. In the event the actual ESG allocation changes, increases or decreases from the estimated funding level ESG activities’ budgets will be increased or decreased to match the funding allocation approved by the Fresno Madera Continuum of Care (FMCoC). Subrecipient awards within each activity allocation will be proportionally increased or decreased from the estimated funding levels to match the amount of each ESG allocation.

All of the projects funded in PY 2017 will align to serve one of the following goals. Please note that these goals are based on funding estimates and may change based on the actual allocation. Goal #01: Safe and Affordable Housing The City will continue to fund affordable housing projects to improve the quality of housing stock throughout the City. This includes rehabilitation efforts, and new development, and proactive code enforcement. All of the City’s HOME funds and approximately 825% of the CDBG funds will be used to serve this goal. These goals are estimates based on historical per unit subsidies. Actual accomplishments will be based on information to be determined, including cost allocations and subsidy layering analysis. Goal Outcome Indicators Rental units constructed: − 11 HOME-assisted units Homebuyer units constructed: − 3 HOME-assisted units (CHDO) Tenant-Based rental assistance: − 705 HOME-assisted units Homeowner Housing Rehabilitated: − HOME-assisted: 14 units − Senior Paint: 6855 units − Minor Code Compliance: 10 units − − Lead Abatement: 320 units Housing Code Enforcement citations: − 500 units inspected City of Fresno PY 2017 Annual Action Plan – May April 3 Revised DRAFT Page 9 Goal #02: Homeless Services The City, in close coordination with the Fresno Madera Continuum of Care (FMCoC) and its members, will provide its available ESG funding to local homeless service providers for the operation of homeless shelters, provision of homeless prevention, street outreach, and ra pid rehousing services. It should be noted that CDBG-funded projects under Public Facilities and Improvements will also serve homeless populations.

The Senior Hot Meal Program will provide nutritious meals to low income seniors at various locations throughout the City. The Youth Afterschool program will provide educational and recreational services to young adults at community centers that serve predominantly low income areas. In addition, the City will support a number of local non-profits with CDBG funds in PY2017. Boys and Girls Clubs of Fresno will focus on youth development by delivering tutoring and homework assistance, health and fitness, behavioral development, and career and job training programs to 950 youth. The Fresno EOC through its Street Saints program will operate afterschool and recreation programs for 150 youth at five locations within one of the highest concentrated poverty areas in the nation.

The City will implement “notice of grant award” documentation with City departments in addition to subrecipient agreements with community based organizations. The City will be offering technical assistance and ongoing training opportunities for awardees. With that, staff recognized there is an ongoing opportunity to improve how various programs have been managed, the methodology in which programs have been monitored, and the manner in which funds have been allocated. In addition, the City has implemented improved coordination between rehabilitation programs and the neighborhood revitalization teams through a referral process. The City has also increased low and no-cost outreach methods to ensure citizen participation, resulting in a public needs hearing with standing room only.

In 2008, when the effort was announced, 901 chronically homeless individuals were identified. The 2016 Point-In-Time Count identified 438 chronically homeless individuals residing in the county, representing a reduction of 51%. The FMCoC estimates that it can reach “functional zero” for chronically homeless populations by the end of 2019 with an increase of resources for rapid rehousing. Summary of Citizen Participation and Consultation Process The City adopted and followed a Citizen Participation Plan to ensure interested residents received opportunities to participate in the planning process. In addition to the required publications, and as part of the outreach strategy, the City developed a robust database of over 500 community development and housing service providers, workforce developers, community advocates, public agencies, individuals, and businesses across the city. For this planning cycle, stakeholders were consistently engaged, updated, and encouraged to participate in the process utilizing additional low and no-cost outreach methods such as social media (FaceBook and Twitter) and FresGo, an app that over 8,000 individuals have City of Fresno PY 2017 Annual Action Plan – May April 3 Revised DRAFT Page 18 downloaded to submit real-time requests in their neighborhoods. The Citizen Participation process is described in greater detail in PR-15 Citizen Participation. Summary of Public Comments All comments will be summarized in an exhibit to the final plan.

Summary In PY 2017, the City estimates that it will have roughly $112.45 million in federal resources available to address its most pressing affordable housing and community development priorities. The most pressing needs in the City continue to be a large number of blighted properties and substandard condition of housing, especially within the neighborhoods identified as CDBG target areas. As such, the majority of CDBG resources available to the City through the programs covered by this plan will focus on reinvestment in distressed areas through comprehensive code enforcement efforts, housing rehabilitation programs, public facility and infrastructure projects, and supportive public services. HOME funds will be used to increase housing opportunities for low-income households through new development, tenant-based rental assistance, and improvements to existing owner-occupied housing stock. ESG funds will continue to serve the needs of homeless populations and HOPWA funds will provide housing assistance to persons living with AIDS/HIV and their families. City of Fresno PY 2017 Annual Action Plan – May April 3 Revised DRAFT Page 19 PR-05 Lead and Responsible Agencies The City of Fresno is the Lead Agency for the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) entitlement programs. The City of Fresno Development and Resource Management Department (DARM), Housing and Community Development Division is responsible for the administration of HUD Entitlements including but not limited to the Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG), the HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME), the Emergency Solutions Grant program (ESG), and the Housing Opportunities for People with AIDS/HIV (HOPWA) funding. Public Contact Information: Tom Morgan Development and Resource Management Department (DARM) Housing and Community Development Division 2600 Fresno Street Fresno, CA 93721 Phone: 559.621.8064 TTY: 559.621.8721 Fax: 559.457.1054 Email: Thomas.Morgan@fresno.gov City of Fresno PY 2017 Annual Action Plan – May April 3 Revised DRAFT Page 20 AP-10 Consultation Introduction Public participation plays a central role in the development of the Consolidated Plan. To develop its 2015 Consolidated Plan, the City launched an in-depth and collaborative effort to consult with community stakeholders, elected offices, City and County departments, and beneficiaries of entitlement programs to inform and develop the priorities and strategies. For the PY 2017 Annual Action Plan, the City followed up with many of the same organizations to identify shifts and trends within the needs of the community. Efforts to Enhance Coordination Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction’s activities to enhance coordination between public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health and service agencies (91.215(l)) As part of the Consolidated Planning process, the City developed a robust database of over 500 community development and housing service providers, workforce developers, community advocates, public agencies, individuals, and businesses across the city. Through this comprehensive database, the City can quickly outreach and coordinate with a large number of stakeholders within the community. As part of the PY 2017 planning process, the City released a Consolidated Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for CDBG, HOME, ESG, and HOPWA to coordinate with local non-profits on the provision of public services and to accept proposals for the rehabilitation and development of community facilities. Continuum of Care Consultation – Homeless Needs Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth) and persons at risk of homelessness. The Fresno Madera Continuum of Care (FMCoC) is comprised of organizations and individuals working to address homelessness in the counties of Fresno and Madera. Members of the FMCoC include representatives of federal, state, and local government agencies, nonprofits, the private sector, and faith-based organizations. The FMCoC holds monthly meetings to coordinate the efforts of its members to efficiently provide housing and services to the homeless population. City of Fresno PY 2017 Annual Action Plan – May April 3 Revised DRAFT Page 21 As part of the PY 2017 planning process, the City coordinated with the FMCoC to determine the amount of the ESG allocations that should be used for each eligible use. The City will use the approved breakdown by funding categories to determine subrecipient allocations. Continuum of Care Consultation – Program Design Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction's area in determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards for and evaluate outcomes of projects and activities assisted by ESG funds, and develop funding, policies and procedures for the operation and administration of HMIS. Allocation The City of Fresno acts as a pass-through agency for Emergency Solutions Grant Program (ESG) funds. While the City is responsible for the administration and oversight of the grant, the vast majority of funds are awarded to local homeless service providers who perform the day to day operation of the funded programs. As part of the PY 2017 planning process, the City coordinated with the FMCoC to determine the amount of the ESG allocations that should be used for each eligible use. The City will use the approved breakdown by funding categories to determine subrecipient allocations. Development of Standards and Policies ESG standards and policies were developed by the City, County, and the FMCoC when the ESG program transitioned from the Emergency Shelter Grant to the Emergency Solutions Grant in 2011. These standards are included in the final plan. The City anticipates the completion of an updated management policies and procedures plan and standards in 2017. The City will continue to coordinate with its public and private partners to ensure that the local FMCoC meets all HEARTH requirements with respect to ESG funds. HMIS and Coordinated Entry System The Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) is used by all local homeless providers participating in the FMCoC. HMIS is a database used to track performance and outcomes for the agencies. As the HMIS Lead of the FMCoC, the Fresno Housing Authority plays a critical role in coordinating the annual Pint-in-Time Count (PITC), collecting data, and distributing results from the annual count. The work of the Housing Authority in this regard meets and exceeds HUD requirements for the implementation and compliance of Homeless Management Information System Standards. The Fresno Madera Continuum of Care’s Coordinated Entry System utilizes a common assessment tool – the Vulnerability Index. All member agencies of the FMCoC have committed to using both the assessment tool and the Coordinated Entry System . The Multi- City of Fresno PY 2017 Annual Action Plan – May April 3 Revised DRAFT Page 22 Agency Access Program (MAP) Point at the Poverello House (Pov) was the first coordinated physical entry point collectively developed by the Community Conversations stakeholder group. The MAP Pont at the Pov served as the first physical location of the Coordinated Entry System. The program has proved successful in its first two years and has begun expansion.

This effort aligns with the Strategic Plan's goal to support activities that respond to homelessness and its impacts on the community. Name of Plan: City of Fresno Housing Element Organization: City of Fresno Overlap: The Housing Element is the State-required component of the City's General Plan and provides a policy guide and implementation work plan to help the City meet its future regional housing needs. This effort aligns with the Strategic Plan's goal to assist in the creation and preservation of affordable housing opportunities. Describe cooperation and coordination with other public entities, including the State and any adjacent units of general local government, in the implementation of the Consolidated Plan (91.215(l)) The City works closely with the Public Housing Authority of the City of Fresno, the County of Fresno, and the State in a number of affordable housing programs. For HOPWA, the City is responsible for administering the grant on behalf of the entire metropolitan statistical area, which includes all of Fresno County. As such, the City coordinates with the County Public Health Department and the State of California to ensure the needs of persons living with AIDS/HIV are addressed. As detailed above, the City participates in the FMCoC to address homeless issues in the region. Through this organization, the City is able to coordinate its resources with other public entities to ensure a strategic response to homelessness. The City recently completed a CalHome Grant program provided by the State of California’s Department of Housing and Community Development for first-time home buyers. As available, the City will apply for future funding opportunities. The Mayor convenes a cross-sector Restore Fresno meeting monthly between Fresno Unified School District, the Fresno Housing Authority, the County of Fresno and several City Departments as part of “Restore Fresno” a compilation of initiatives aimed at goals included in the Consolidated Plan. Additional efforts to preserve affordable housing have resulted in the City of Fresno PY 2017 Annual Action Plan – May April 3 Revised DRAFT Page 28 development of a Rental Housing Division within the City of Fresno focused on preserving existing housing stock.

The City receives smaller allocations of the Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) and Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS/HIV (HOPWA). CDBG CDBG funds may be used for a broad range of activities, including housing, infrastructure, public facilities and services, and economic development, as long as the purpose of the program is to benefit persons considered to be low or moderate income (below 80% of the area median income). HOME HOME funds may only be used for affordable housing projects. This includes the acquisition and development of new housing, the rehabilitation of existing units, tenant -based rental assistance, and homebuyer assistance. Assisted units can be either rental or owner-occupied. All units must benefit households earning less than 80 percent of the area median income. ESG ESG funds are designed to serve homeless persons and those at risk of homelessness. The ESG program provides funding to engage homeless living on the street; improve the number and quality of emergency shelters; rapidly re-house homeless into market housing; and to prevent families and individuals from becoming homeless. HOPWA This program is targeted to provide housing assistance to persons living with AIDS/HIV and their families. HOPWA funds may be used for a wide range of housing, social services, program planning, and development costs. These include the development of new housing units; costs for facility operations; rental assistance; and short-term payments to prevent homelessness. An essential component in providing housing assistance for this targeted special needs population is the coordination and delivery of support services. State and Local Funds The City expects to leverage and attract additional funding sources to help meet its goals, including programs such as the Multi-Agency Access Program (MAP Point). Potential sources include general funds, additional housing funds from the State, private funding invested in the City of Fresno PY 2017 Annual Action Plan – May April 3 Revised DRAFT Page 35 HOME-assisted affordable housing developments. The City expects to receive funds in the program year through the Housing-Related Parks Program from the State of California (Proposition 1 C). In recent years, the City has contributed general funds to homeless street outreach program called HERO (Homeless Engagement Resource Outreach Team). The City will also continue to fund Neighborhood Revitalization teams from local funding sources. Lead Hazard Abatement Funds The City has successfully applied for Lead Hazard Abatement funds in the past. These funds are awarded on an annual basis from HUD for the assessment and abatement of lead paint hazards in low income homes. The City was unsuccessful in its PY 2016 application and did not apply for these funds for PY 2017, but the City supported an application submitted by Fresno County.

Leverage, in the context of entitlement funding, means bringing in other local, state, and federal financial resources to maximize the reach and impact of the City of Fresno’s U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) funded programs. HUD, like many other federal agencies, encourages the recipients of federal monies to demonstrate that efforts are being made to strategically leverage additional funds in order to achieve greater results. Leverage is also a way to increase project efficiencies and benefit from economies of scale that often come with combining sources of funding for similar or expanded scopes. A good source of leveraging the City hopes to continue to use is the Housing-Related Parks Program from the State of California (Proposition 1 C). Through this program, the State provides additional funds to local governments for parks and recreational facilities when the local government creates additional affordable units. In previous years, the City has leveraged over $1million in additional park improvements. Additionally, the City’s FY 2018 utilizes any unexpended dollars (potentially up to $1,000,000) from two specific projects be used for affordable housing. The federal government has several other funding programs for community development and affordable housing activities. These include: Fair Housing; Lead Based Paint; HOPE VI; HOPWA Competitive Funds; the Supportive Housing Program; Section 202, Section 811; Youthbuild; the Housing Choice Voucher Program; the Affordable Housing Program (AHP) through the Federal Home Loan Bank, and others. It should be noted that in most cases the City would not be the applicant for these funding sources as many of these programs offer assistance to affordable housing developers and nonprofits rather than local jurisdictions. Additionally, HUD has matching fund requirements for both the HOME and ESG Programs. For the HOME Program, the City is required to match twenty-five percent of all HOME project expenditures. However, HUD will reduce or waive the match requirement when a jurisdiction meet’s HUD fiscal distress criteria. In recent years, HUD has waived the City’s HOME match requirement. HUD published has not published match reductions for FY 2017-2018 on May 22, 2017. Fresno met the distressed criteria and was determined to be in severe fiscal distress City of Fresno PY 2017 Annual Action Plan – May April 3 Revised DRAFT Page 38 and received a 100 percent reduction for 2017-2018. as of yet. In the 2017 program year, the City will continue to seek HOME match funds to contribute to future year match liabilities. Examples of matching funds under the HOME Program include private finance and interest subsidies from home buyer and residential rehabilitation programs. The ESG grant requires a 100% match of program funds. The City of Fresno passes this matching requirement to the service providers receiving the ESG funds. ESG providers meet this requirement through the use of private donations, State grants, and/or volunteer hours. The City may also provide general funds to service providers in order to meet match requirements. If appropriate, describe publically owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that may be used to address the needs identified in the plan. As part of the planned Infill Housing Program funded previously, the City has worked with the Successor Agency to the Redevelopment Agency and identified 18a number of city-owned lots that maywill be deeded to developers in order to build single-family in-fill housing units. City staff is currently evaluating the lots for development potential. The majority of these lots are located in the central core of the city. Funds are intended to be used for acquisition, clearance, and down payment assistance to finance infill single family housing projects. The resulting housing units will be rented or sold to low and moderate income households.

The Multi-Agency Access Program (MAP) Point is the physical local coordinated entry point for the FMCoC Coordinated Entry System. The Fresno Homeless Task Force conducts daily activities in areas where homeless individuals and families congregate or are known to visit. In reaching its annual goal of 1,340 contacts, tThe HERO Team conductshas weekly outreach activities into areas which have been identified as having the potential to attract or induce homeless persons and families to congregate. The FMCoC develops and carries out regular outreach and assessment activities such as the annual Point In Time (PIT) Count. Describe actions to address the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons. The City is proposing to fund the shelter services provided byoperations of Marjorie Mason, WestCare California, Inc. (WestCare), the Marjaree Mason Center (MMC), and the Poverello House. WestCare will provide shelter in an owned and operated facility along with intensive support services to 41 persons. MMC will provide shelter in a secured environment owned and operated by MMC and transitional services. The Poverello House will provide short term hotel vouchers to families and households. Describe actions planned to help homeless persons make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again. Through its subrecipients, the City will beis able to reach vulnerable individuals and families who are homeless. These agencies use a coordinated entry system and the Multi-Agency Action Program (MAP) Point at the Poverello House, to provide not only rapid rehousing and housing assistance, but also wrap-around services designed to create sustainable and safe housing opportunities for long-term permanent and independent living. As part of several national initiatives, the housing-first model has proven to be successful and continues to be a City of Fresno PY 2017 Annual Action Plan – May April 3 Revised DRAFT Page 56 best-practice. The recent City and County Status Update to the 10-Year Plan to End Chronic Homelessness outlines several goals specifically relating to (1) availability of housing (2) coordination among service providers (3) improving outreach, and (4) preventing homelessness. The City is proposing to fund Rapid Rehousing programs administered by WestCare California, Inc. and Marjaree Mason.

Describe planned actions to help low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals and families and those who are: being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities, foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); or, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs. Through a network of social service agencies and supportive nonprofits, at -risk families and individuals are identified and assisted with short-term and long-term wrap-around services. These agencies include the Fresno County Mental Health network, the Fresno Police Department, and the Fresno County Courts system. While the City has no formal homeless discharge coordination policy in place, the City continues to be an active participant in the FMCoC and the Community Conversations. The FMCoC has established procedures with individual agencies related to discharge policies, such as the County’s Department of Behavioral Health, the Hospital Council of Northern and Central California, Fresno County Jail, etc. Members of the FMCoC work together to coordinate their efforts and build a continuum of care that provides supportive and preventative services to these individuals at high risk of homelessness after release. The Community Conversation stakeholders meet quarterly and include leadership representing police and probation, mental health, major hospitals, local government, court systems, housing authorit y, the FMCoC, and many more. The City is actively engaged in planning efforts that address the needs of individuals at risk due to discharge from systems of care.

Market Constraints o Land Cost and Availability o Land Use Controls o Off-Site Improvements o Materials and Labor o Financing Costs Other Non-Governmental Constraints o Accessibility to Mobility o Social Perceptions Excessive Land Value in Select Areas Governmental Constraints o Governmental Layers for Entitlements o Annexation o Development Review Process Components o Fees and Exactions Actions it planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the return on residential investment During the PY 2017 year, the City will commit to the following actions to reduce the barriers to affordable housing (see Chapter 6 of 2015 Housing Element): Providing development incentives such as planning entitlement fee reductions for projects constructed in the City’s Inner City Fee Reduction Target Area density bonuses for eligible projects Measure C TOD fee reduction programs for eligible projects Strengthening partnerships with Affordable Housing Developers City of Fresno PY 2017 Annual Action Plan – May April 3 Revised DRAFT Page 60 Encouraging the development of adequate housing to meet the needs of persons with special needs; Assisting Individuals Experiencing Homelessness (ESG) Outreach and technical assistance to mobile home park residents Support to Fresno Housing Authority for marketing of Housing Choice Vouchers in areas of opportunity; Streamlining Approval for Downtown Housing Projects Consistent with Housing Element Preventing Displacement through the Downtown Displacement Program Reducing housing utility costs through the Home Energy Tune-Up Program Expediting entitlements through the Business Friendly Fresno Program; Incentivizing large and small lot development Implementing comprehensive code enforcement, including an interior rental re - inspection program; Improving infrastructure Rehabilitating housing’ Enhancing police service to high crime neighborhoods; Contracting with the Fair Housing Council to provide fair housing services Implementing an integrated Equitable Communities program to encourage investment in areas of need and to encourage affordable housing in areas of opportunity. The City recently updated its Development Code. The updated dDevelopment cCode makes it easier to develop compact, walkable, affordable housing along high capacity transit corridors and in downtown. These Code changes positively impact the availability of housing that meets the State of California guidelines for affordability for low and very low income households. It is anticipated that the City will evaluate its post-RDA housing properties for reuse as affordable housing; however it is not expected that these properties will be available during the progra m year. City of Fresno PY 2017 Annual Action Plan – May April 3 Revised DRAFT Page 61 AP-85 Other Actions – 91.220(k) Introduction In addition to outlining projects that the City will actively pursue with available federal resources, the City must also describe “other actions” outlined below, as required by the federal regulations. Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs With a recognized deficit of parks and open space, the City continues to seek partnerships which increase the availability of parks and open space in underserved neighborhoods. The City has prioritized established neighborhoods for reinvestment – especially focusing on high intensity transit corridors for development and redevelopment. These actions will provide new or reconstructed infrastructure in low-mod census tracts and adjacent to low-mod neighborhoods. Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) will be under construction in the next year and operational in the next two years. This highly efficient alternative transportation option will enhance surrounding low-mod neighborhoods. Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing The City coordinates closely with the Housing Authority, local nonprofit housing providers, and other governmental agencies to identify resources available for fostering and maintaining affordable housing. These actions include support for Low Income Housing Tax Credit applications for both 9% and 4% tax credits, support for Cap and Trade applications for the development of new Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) housing options, and monitoring of the mobile home rent control guidelines. The City recently completed a CalHome Grant program provided by the State of California’s Department of Housing and Community Development for first-time home buyers. As available, the City will apply for future funding opportunities. The City is committed to setting aside HOME funds for eligible Community Housing Development Organizations (CHDO) for the development of eligible affordable housing projects. Non-CHDO developers may also submit proposals for HOME entitlement funds for eligible affordable housing development projects. The City is also committed to continued funding of rehabilitation utilizing CDBG and/or HOME funds to provide assistance to owner- occupied households meeting income eligibility criteria. City of Fresno PY 2017 Annual Action Plan – May April 3 Revised DRAFT Page 62 Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards To address potential and actual health hazards derived from lead-based paint (LBP) the City of Fresno will support the Fresno County Human Services Agency's efforts to identify and remediate hazards caused by LBP, provide outreach to the community regarding structural dangers or cultural practices that may cause lead poisoning, and continue to include lead abatement practices in code enforcement and rehabilitation programs as feasible. The City supported Fresno County in its application for supplemental HUD funds to address and remove lead paint hazards. In addition, the City will implement a complimentary lead paint abatement program and has two California State Certified Lead Inspectors/Assessors on staff. Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families The City of Fresno allocates funding for homeless prevention and housing, including emergency shelter, transitional housing, and permanent housing. The City of Fresno will continue to provide assistance for the homeless and those in danger of becoming homeless and improve communication and service delivery capabilities of agencies and organizations that provide programs to assist the homeless. The City of Fresno assists persons that are homeless or vulnerable to becoming homeless is provided through nonprofit agencies and City of Fresno departments. Services and activities provide free and reduced price services so that low-income persons are able to use their income for other expenses: The Parks and Community Services Department provides seniors low cost or free meals at community centers in low-income neighborhoods. The City of Fresno communicates information related to provides cooling centers in the summer for homeless and low income persons that do not have access to cooled environments and also to offset the cost associated with cooling a home. There are also warming centers in the winter when the temperatures drop below 35 degrees. TThe City of Fresno Transportation Department provides bus services to these centers free of charge. These centers are located at community centers throughout Fresno and specifically in low-income areas. The Sustainability Division provides home energy audits for exterior and interior energy efficiency rehabilitation. Additionally, area nonprofits receive funding from HUD through the Supportive Housing Program (SHP) to assist homeless families and individuals, and the chronically homeless. Saturday Parks Programs at school sites. City of Fresno PY 2017 Annual Action Plan – May April 3 Revised DRAFT Page 63 The City of Fresno has partnered with local homeless care providers and the FMCoC to adopt and implement a ten year plan to end chronic homelessness. The City of Fresno is a part of the FMCoC and services provided by these agencies are direct services with the goal of ending chronic homelessness. Through the ESG Program the City of Fresno funds agencies that provide services and activities such as: Homelessness and psychosocial assessments Case management Referrals to other service and programs Transportation; meals Shelter Economic Development Activities As discussed in the Consolidated Plan, the City of Fresno will provide economic development and employment opportunity programs through a variety of funding sources, and will focus its economic activities and budget on four major areas: 1. Foster an environment that will lead to the creation of new jobs and the retention of existing jobs; 2. Encourage entrepreneurs to establish new businesses; 3. Work with existing Fresno businesses to encourage them to stay in Fresno, expand, and create additional jobs; and 4. Attract new businesses to Fresno with a focus on regional job initiative industry clusters. Recent examples of successful economic development efforts include the ground breaking of an Amazon Distribution Center on June 19, 2017. This effort will bring at least 1,500 jobs. Additionally, Ulta Beauty expects to hire 500-1,000 full time employees at their distribution center in Fresno, which is now under construction. Actions planned to develop institutional structure The City is undertaking a series of technological improvements and enhancements designed to streamline development applications, coordinate with other Ccity services and provide more accessible information to the public. While these changes to the City’s land management system will take several years to implement, the actions will provide the public with quick and easy access to zoning, business licensing, permitting, code enforcement, and other data currently difficult to access. City of Fresno PY 2017 Annual Action Plan – May April 3 Revised DRAFT Page 64 Housing Division staff will havehas access to additional online, local and regional training to improve and enhance the City’s knowledge of federal and state funding opportunities. All new funding designated to service established neighborhoods will leverage the federal programs in eligible low-mod census tracts. The City has improved efforts to efficiently and expediently distribute funds related to HUD programs and is requiring the completion of HUD trainings and webinars to maintain the level of expertise required. Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies. The City will continue to participate as a member of the FMCoC with other social service and housing providers for homeless activities, such as the Community Conversations network. City staff will participate in local and regional workshops designed to develop relationships with other providers and improve coordination. The Administration of the City meets regularly with the Fresno Housing Authority, Fresno County, other cities in the Central Valley, and nonprofit agencies. The City actively recruits new investment in underserved neighborhoods. The NRT Team (now funded through non-federal funds) works closely with a number of partners, including Fresno Unified School District, Habitat for Humanity, and other neighborhood stakeholders, in its neighborhood revitalization efforts. City of Fresno PY 2017 Annual Action Plan – May April 3 Revised DRAFT Page 65 Monitoring The City of Fresno has established a monitoring system to ensure that federal regulations, local policies and program guidelines are met. The monitoring system encompasses both entitlement program monitoring and project monitoring. The City of Fresno's Monitoring Plan for the Consolidated Plan and each annual Action Plan was established to meet three primary goals: Ensure that all activities and initiatives funded, in part or in whole, with HUD funds are consistent with the approved Consolidated Plan. Ensure that all projects and or programs funded are implemented by a competent subrecipient and administered in a timely and financially prudent manner; and that all funds expended are in compliance with federal regulations. Ensure that all activities funded are evaluated and monitored regularly, and that performance is assessed and reported. Entitlement Program Monitoring Each entitlement program has specific monitoring requirements such as timely use of funds, commitment requirements, and uniform administrative requirements that must be met. The City of Fresno tracks these activities throughout the fiscal year. Project/Activity Monitoring and Administration City of Fresno Staff will determine that the national objective, activity eligibility and appropriate regulatory requirements to monitor the activity/project are established. Monitoring activities include, but are not limited to, compliance with national objectives, labor standards, financial management, and environmental assessments. Staff conducts desk monitoring of drawdown requests throughout the year. Site monitoring will be based on a risk assessment at the beginning of the program year. However, rehabilitation and construction projects are monitored by Project Managers, Housing Specialists and a labor standards review throughout the construction period and the affordability terms. Minority Business Outreach (MBE/WBE) The City of Fresno has established a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (MBE) Program in accordance with the regulations of the U.S Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The City of Fresno in the past has received federal financial assistance from HUD and as a condition of receiving this future/ongoing assistance, the City of Fresno has signed an assurance that it will comply with 24 CFR Subtitle A, Part 85, Subpart C, §85.36. City of Fresno PY 2017 Annual Action Plan – May April 3 Revised DRAFT Page 66 AP-90 Program Specific Requirements – 91.220(l)(1,2,4) Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG) 24 CFR 91.220(l)(1) Projects planned with all CDBG funds expected to be available during the year are identified in the Projects Table.

A description of the guidelines that will be used for resale or recapture of HOME funds when used for homebuyer activities as required in 92.254, is as follows: For HOME-funded homebuyer assistance loans, the Promissory Note, Deed of Trust, and Homebuyer Agreement are the enforcement mechanisms for the city's resale and recapture provisions. The City will use the recapture provisions in all cases where a homebuyer subsidy exists. The City will enforce the minimum periods of affordability based on the amount of homebuyer subsidy provided to the buyer: Five years for less than $15,000 Ten years for between $15,000-$40,000, and Fifteen years for more than $40,000. Recapture provisions are based on 24 CFR 92.254 (a) (5) (ii), which stipulates the conditions for recapture of the HOME investment used to assist low income families in purchasing a home. Homebuyer recapture provisions are included in, or as a deed restriction rider, to the recorded deed of trust that secures a HOME loan Note, and requires recapture of funds if the home does not continue to be the borrower’s principal residence or if all or any part of the property or any interest in it is sold, rented, conveyed or transferred during the dur ation of the period of affordability. Recapture provisions also stipulate that only the direct subsidy to the homebuyer is subject to recapture, which includes down payment assistance, closing cost, other home assistance provided directly to homebuyer, and the difference between fair market value and the sales price. The net proceeds are the sale price minus the senior loan repayment (other than HOME funds) and any closing costs. If the net proceeds are not sufficient to recapture the full HOME investment plus enable the homeowner to recover the amount of the homeowner’s down payment and any capital improvement investment made by the owner since the purchase, the City may share the net proceeds. The net proceeds may be divided proportionally between the City and the homeowner as set forth in the following mathematical formulas: City of Fresno PY 2017 Annual Action Plan – May April 3 Revised DRAFT Page 68 HOME subsidy x Net proceeds = HOME amount to be recaptured HOME subsidy + homeowner investment Homeowner investment x Net proceeds = amount to homeowner HOME subsidy + homeowner investment In the event of foreclosure, the amount subject to recapture is based on the amount of net proceeds (if any) from the foreclosure sale. Plans for using HOME funds to refinance existing debt secured by multifamily housing that is rehabilitated with HOME funds along with a description of the refinancing guidelines required that will be used under 24 CFR 92.206(b), are as follows: The City does not refinance existing debt for multifamily housing projects. For the HOME program, describe eligible applicants, your process for soliciting and funding applications/proposals, and where information can be obtained. Does the city plan to limit the beneficiaries or give preferences to a particular segment of the low- income population in its HOME program, and if so, provide a description of the limitation or preference. The City issued a NOFA for affordable housing developers as part of the planning process. Additional details can be found on the City’s website below. A portion of these funds will be reserved for qualified Community Housing Development Organizations (CHDOs). http://www.fresno.gov/Government/DepartmentDirectory/DARM/Housing/default.htm The TBRA program will be administered by the Fresno Housing Authority and will be targeted to homeless households as outlined in the Status Update of the City and County of Fresno 10- Year Plan to End Chronic Homelessness. Interested parties apply in person at the Fresno Housing Authority on 1331 Fulton Mall, Monday through Thursday between the hours of 8:00 am and 4:00 pm. An assessment and case management assignments are made in order to determine the level of assistance and program determination. The HOME-funded rehabilitation program will be administered by the City’s DARM Department. This program will not have any preferences, but homeowners must meet the income criteria and other program guidelines. Applications will also be available on the City’s website at www.Fresno.gov/Housing. . The City will conduct outreach when the application City of Fresno PY 2017 Annual Action Plan – May April 3 Revised DRAFT Page 69 process is made available, and establish a contact list of interested applicants prescreened for eligibility, and contacted on a first-come, first-served basis. City of Fresno PY 2017 Annual Action Plan – May April 3 Revised DRAFT Page 70 Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) 91.220(l)(4) Include written standards for providing ESG assistance (may include as attachment) The City and County administrations have jointly adopted ESG Policies and Procedures (PPGs) for ESG providers. The City will continues to work cooperatively with Fresnothe County and the Fresno Madera Continuum of Care (FMCoC)FMCoC to update the ESG Policies and Procedures, attached. A copy of the current document is included in Exhibit C. In addition, the City, County and FMCoC are also working with a consultant to document written standards. If the Continuum of Care has established centralized or coordinated assessment system that meets HUD requirements, describe that centralized or coordinated assessment system. The Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) is used by all local homeless providers participating in the FMCoC. HMIS is a database used to track performance and outcomes for the agencies. As the HMIS Lead of the FMCoC, the Fresno Housing Authority plays a critical role in coordinating the annual Pint-in-Time Count (PITC), collecting data, and distributing results from the annual count. The work of the Housing Authority in this regard meets and exceeds HUD requirements for the implementation and compliance of Homeless Management Information System Standards. The FMCoCresno Madera Continuum of Care’s Coordinated Entry System utilizes a common assessment tool – the Vulnerability Index (VI). The VI gave the community a way to identify and triage individuals most at risk. The VI was enhanced to the Vulnerability Index Service Prioritization Decision Assistance Tool (VI-SPDAT), which further triaged individual’s priority for housing and other services. All member agencies of the FMCoC have committed to using both the assessment tool and the Coordinated Entry System managed in partnership by FMCoC members. The assessment system is a client-centered process that streamlines access to the most appropriate housing interventions for individual or families experiencing homelessness. The Multi-Agency Access Program (MAP) Point at the Poverello House (Pov) was the first coordinated physical entry point collectively developed by the Community Conversations stakeholder group. The MAP Pont at the Pov served as athe first physical location of the Coordinated Entry System. The program has proved successful in its first two years and has begun expansion. Main components of this process include: 1. Assessment, 2. Navigation and Case Conferencing, City of Fresno PY 2017 Annual Action Plan – May April 3 Revised DRAFT Page 71 3. Housing Referral with Choice, and 4. Data Collection and Communication. Identify the process for making sub-awards and describe how the ESG allocation available to private nonprofit organizations (including community and faith-based organizations). The City of Fresno issued a Request for Proposals for the 2017-2018 program year. Prior to this release, the City consulted with the FMCoC on the needs of homeless in the community and the best use of ESG funds per category. Within the HUD defined homeless categories, the City of Fresno has determined the following sub-populations are a high priority for ESG services: Unsheltered homeless persons who are living outdoors or in other places not intended for human habitation; Chronically homeless persons; Homeless veterans; and Other homeless persons who have been identified as highly vulnerable. In addition, the following populations are also a priority for ESG services in the City of Fresno: Unaccompanied youth under the age of 18; Youth aging out of the foster care system; Victims of domestic violence; and Households with children. Proposals that propose to serve these populations will be given additional points in the scoring process. Proposals providing ESG services to populations outside of the identified high priority population will be considered for funding. Bidders may propose to provide all or a portion of the ESG eligible activities stated above. Qualified/eligible vendor(s) are those agencies that are State certified non-profit entities, validly existing in California, with a tax-exempt IRS determination letter, as of the date the bid is submitted, or public agencies that are qualified to receive ESG funds under applicable federal rules. Qualified/eligible vendors are those that have a minimum of two years’ experience serving the beneficiary populations and a minimum of two years’ experience utilizing federal, state and/or local funding. City of Fresno PY 2017 Annual Action Plan – May April 3 Revised DRAFT Page 72 The RFP was published on the City’s website, and widely distributed to an electronic distribution list of over 500 e-mail addresses. A joint review committee reviews applications, and may include the City, County, and FMCoC representatives which rate and rank the proposals. Recommendations for funding are presented to the Housing and Community Development Commission and to the Fresno City Council for adoption. If the jurisdiction is unable to meet the homeless participation requirement in 24 CFR 576.405(a), the jurisdiction must specify its plan for reaching out to and consulting with homeless or formerly homeless individuals in considering policies and funding decisions regarding facilities and services funded under ESG. During the development of the Consolidated Plan, the City consulted with the FMCoC in making decisions related to ESG funds for the five year cycle. The FMCoC includes representation from the homeless community, which meet the homeless participation requirement in 24 CFR 576.405(a). Describe performance standards for evaluating ESG. The following performance standards are outlined in the City’s adopted written policies, however, updates to the standards are currently under way: 1. Decrease the number of homeless youth and households with children by 10% from the FMCoC Point in Time Count of January 20162. 2. Increase the percentage of participants in transitional housing that move into permanent housing to 8065% or more. 3. Increase the percentage of participants that are employed at program exit to 2 50% or more. ~ 1 ~ CITY OF FRESNO COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK SUBRECIPIENT AGREEMENT THIS AGREEMENT, entered this _____ day of __________, 20____ by and between the City of Fresno, California, a municipal corporation, acting by and through its Development and Resource Management – Housing and Community Development Division, (“GRANTEE”) and __________ (“SUBRECIPIENT”).

PROGRAM OVERVIEW TBRA provides rental housing assistance to low income households whose income levels limits access to market rent housing. The assistance is available to individuals and families and allows clients to select the housing unit that best provides acceptable space, quality of housing, and access to neighborhood services. TBRA assistance is limited to: Those who are homeless, transitioning from a homeless assistance program, or appropriate for rapid rehousing for chronically homeless individuals. Household incomes at or below 50% of the area median income (AMI); Only those persons listed on the application and lease; Up to two years of assistance; A. Eligible Activities and Payment Standards The following activities are eligible under TBRA: Rent of a residential dwelling that meets the Housing Quality Standards (HQS); o Minimum rent charged set at $50.00 o Maximum rent charged cannot exceed 30% of the client’s adjusted income. TBRA will cover the gap between the client’s minimum payment and the actual cost of rent plus utilities TBRA will cover the gap between a household’s rent portion and actual cost of rent plus utilities. o Security deposits o Utility deposits Rent charges cannot exceed HUD’s Fair Market Rent Limits. B. Ineligible Activities The following activities are ineligible to TBRA: Duplicate existing rental assistance programs that already reduce a client’s rent payment; Assisting a resident owner; Preventing displacement or relocation as a result of activities other than the HOME Program; Provide overnight or temporary shelter to homeless persons; Used with existing HOME Investment Partnerships developments currently under a mandated affordability period. Commitments to specific owners for specific projects. Assistance to resident owners of cooperative housing that qualifies as home ownership housing; C. Location For TBRA assistance to be rendered, rental property must be located within the City of Fresno. The program allows for client choice and movement to a unit that best suits the needs of the household, as such the housing subsidy remains with the client as long as the chosen unit is located within the City of Fresno. Assistance cannot be transferred out of the City of Fresno limits. D. Record Retention All records must be retained for five years after final rental assistance is provided. E. Marketing Agency must establish how potential applicants will be notified and selected for the TBRA program.

Where applications are available and how they are submitted Agency steps to reach applicants who are least likely to apply Outreach to property owners Marketing Description – Purpose of TBRA funding is to provide stable, permanent housing for a limited period (up to two years) for those individuals who are homeless, or transitioning from a homeless program or chronically homeless who are appropriate for rapid rehousing. Potential participants will be identified via Coordinated Entry System (CES) via street outreach and presentation at a MAP Point location. Potential participants will undergo the VI-SPDAT and be matched to most appropriate housing solution which will include HOME TBRA. Upon verification of CES housing solution, potential participant will be contacted via phone, street outreach or MAP Point contacts. F. Fair Housing The following information should be included in marketing and agreements with the landlords/owners. Non-Discrimination: The Agency or landlord shall not, in the provision of services or in any other manner, discriminate against any person on the grounds of age, race, color, creed, religion, sex, handicap, national origin, or familial status. G. Tenant Selection All applicants must be screened and selected through a fair, written and public process. 1. Applications: Obtain a written application to determine eligibility. Application will include the following information: income, household, program rules and policies, complaint and grievance procedures, rent standards, rent calculation form, income limits and adjustments, demographic, family composition, verification of homelessness, prior program participation and VI-SPDAT score. 2. Residency Eligibility: Tenants must be residents of the city of Fresno. 3. Eligibility: Eligibility will be determined upon admission to the program. Thereafter review of eligibility including, income verification, will occur at annual re-examinations. Where a family experiences a change in household composition and/or income between annual re-examination, the _______________________________________ will process an interim re- examination. The family is required to report all changes in household composition and/or income to the _______________________________________ within ten calendar days of the occurrence. Should an applicant have income above 50% of AMI at annual re-examination, rental assistance will cease. However, the applicant will remain on the program for 180 days. 4. Waiting list: All clients will be complete an application including documentation of homelessness/chronic homelessness, if applicable, inclusion in homeless housing assistance program and VI-SPDAT score. Said applicants will be placed on a Preliminary Wait list. When openings in the program occur, applicants will be selected from the Preliminary Wait list: homeless individuals – VI-SPDAT score 1-5; chronically homeless – VI-SPDAT score of 10 or more; transitioning from a homeless program. All attempts will be made to reach individuals selected including street outreach, message boards dedicated to homeless individuals and communication with agency partners. Should a client not respond to all summonses, the name will be placed back on the Preliminary Wait list. H. Notification Prospective tenants must be notified in writing regarding the outcome of their application. Requirement extends to all unsuccessful applicants as well as selected tenants. It is noted that as some prospective tenants are homeless, there may be no valid address with which to communicate. As such all attempts will be made to contact the client – street outreach conducted to last known place and places where homeless congregate and outreach to varying agency partners regarding whereabouts. I. Rental Assistance Certificate Upon admission into the TBRA program, prospective tenants are issued a Rental Assistance Certificate which authorizes households to begin the search for appropriate housing. At the time the coupon is issued a meeting explaining the responsibilities of each party and the impact of the housing choice upon the payment. The certificate should include: Agency name Household name Unit size Date issued Location restrictions Expiration date Estimated rent calculation based on tenant income Tenant requirements Agency processes and responsibilities Security Deposit Policy Owner/landlord requirements Length of assistance Equal housing opportunity statement J. Income Eligibility and Subsidy Amount A three step process is used to arrive at the maximum subsidy amount. Income Determination Calculating Adjusted Income Total Tenant Payment Calculation K. Income Determination Process Agencies will use the Annual Income as Defined in 24 CFR Part 5, to determine TBRA income eligibility. This is also referred to as Part 5 Annual Income; and was based on the Section 8 model. The income definition is defined as the gross amount of income of all adult household members that is anticipated to be received during the coming 12- month period. Program participants will provide proof of income (such as wages or governmental benefits) at enrollment and each time household income changes. A copy of the proof of income or self-declaration of no income is stored in the program participant file. L. Calculating Adjusted Income After gross income is determined, calculation for the "adjusted income" as defined in 24 CFR 5.611 is used to determine total tenant payment (TTP), which is a measure of a household's ability to pay housing costs. M. Total Tenant Payment Calculation The TTP is the final calculation used to determine the Agency's subsidy and tenant's share of rent under a HOME-funded TBRA program. Resident rents are calculated by using annual incomes and applying standard allowances for dependents, childcare, disabilities and medical expenses and based upon established HUD guidelines, Notice CPD-96-03. If all utilities are included in the rent, the tenant’s entire share of housing costs goes directly to the landlord. If utilities are paid separately, the Agency must make utility reimbursements to the household whenever the household’s share of housing costs is insufficient to cover expected utility costs. Agencies must use the utility allowance established by the local Housing Authority. N. Maximum Income Family income must not be above 50% adjusted median income (AMI) on admission and recertification. Income limits are established by household size and revised annually by the Department of Housing and Urban Development. O. Unit Selection/Approval Upon admission into the TBRA program, prospective tenants are issued a Coupon (described above) along with a Request for Unit approval. This document must be completed and forwarded to the Agency to trigger the housing quality inspection. P. Unit Inspections Prior to completing the lease or making any payments, a unit must be inspected to meet the housing quality standards (HUD-52580). Unit must meet housing quality standards (HQS) before tenancy and at least annually. Complete records of certification, inspections, and follow-up actions must be kept in the client’s files. Q. Occupancy Standards HUD has established occupancy standards that comply with the HQS requirements and how the number of bedrooms needed by the household will impact the unit size and subsidy. The following basic standards can be modified to take into consideration specific household composition and circumstances (i.e., pending child custody cases, chronic illnesses, family member who is absent most of the time, etc.). Occupancy standards are used to provide consistent criteria for determining the unit size for which the household is eligible and thus, the amount of assistance to be provided. Fair housing rules permit a household to select smaller units that do not create seriously overcrowded conditions. No more than two persons are required to occupy a bedroom; Persons of different generations (i.e., grandparents, parents, children), persons of the opposite sex (other than spouses/couples) and unrelated adults are not required to share a bedroom; Children of the same sex (regardless of age) and couples cohabitating (whether or not legally married) must share the same bedroom for purpose of assigning the bedroom size on housing coupon; A live-in care attendant who is not a member of the family is not required to share a bedroom with another household member. Individual medical problems (i.e., chronic illness) sometimes require either separate bedrooms for household members who would otherwise be required to share a bedroom or an extra bedroom to store medical equipment; In most instances, a bedroom is not provided for a family member who will be absent most of the time, such as a member who is away in the military. R. Ownership Units maybe privately or publicly owned. S. Rent Reasonableness Rent for each unit must be determined to be reasonable when compared to unassisted units. T. Rent Increases Any rent increased must be approved by the Housing Authority. Individuals will be asked to provide documentation from the landlord about rent adjustments. Adjustment of the subsidy may be recalculated providing rent amounts continue to maintain the Fair Market Rent standards for the area. U. Landlord-Tenant Law Tenants should receive a user-friendly copy of the Landlord-Tenant Law and be informed on how to use this law when problems arise. Copies of signed receipt of the landlord-Tenant Law should be included in the individual’s file. V. Lead Based Paint Tenants will be notified of the potential presence and hazard of lead. All individuals receiving tenant-based rental subsidies will receive a copy of the Environmental Protection Agency brochure titled “Protect Your Family from Lead in Your Home”. A signed receipt of the copy should be maintained in the individual’s file. EPA Disclosure Requirements for All Leased Housing Built Before 1978. W. Lease Addendum Terms: Initially one year, with a month to month renewal at expiration, for a period no longer than two years of assistance. Throughout the assistance period, FH retains the right to terminate assistance as detailed below. X. Un-allowable terms in lease The lease between the owner and the tenant may not contain the following: Agreement by the tenant to be sued, to admit guilt, or to a judgment in favor of the owner in a lawsuit brought in connection with the lease; Agreement by the tenant that the owner may take, hold, or sell personal property of household members without notice to the tenant and a court decision on the rights of the parties. However, the owner may dispose of personal property left by a tenant in accordance with state law; Agreement by the tenant not to hold the owner or the owner’s agents legally responsible for any action or failure to act, whether intentional or negligent; Agreement of the tenant that the owner may institute a lawsuit without notice to the tenant; Agreement by the tenant that the owner may evict the tenant or household members without instituting a civil court proceeding in which the tenant has the opportunity to present a defense, or before a court decision on the rights of the parties; Agreement by the tenant to waive any right to a trial by jury; Agreement by the tenant to waive the tenant’s right to appeal, or to otherwise challenge in court, a court decision in connection with the lease; and Agreement by the tenant to pay attorney’s fees or other legal costs even if the tenant wins in a court proceeding by the owner against the tenant. The tenant, however, may be obligated to pay costs if the tenant loses. See Attached Form 13 – Lease Addendum. AGREEMENT WITH PROPERTY OWNER/LANDLORD The Housing Authority should have an agreement with the property owner/landlord providing information regarding terms, amounts, security deposit fair housing and termination. TERMINATION Agency must notify tenant in writing when terminating tenant assistance. Agency must follow landlord tenant rules of the State of California: 1. End of Assistance Time Period: Provide notice in writing to tenant and landlord. 2. Property Owner Termination: If a property owner terminates the tenancy through no fault of the tenant, and the tenant is still eligible for assistance, the Agency will work to find another unit. 3. Tenant Caused Eviction: If tenant is evicted due to breaking the lease or participating in illegal activities, the agency is under no obligation to continue to provide rental assistance. 4. Tenant Moves: Tenant moves are accommodated only on rare instances such as family size or job change. UTILITIES 1. Utility Costs: Utilities costs are included in the fair market rental calculation. Agencies must use the utility allowance established by the Housing Authority of the City of Fresno. The rents must be reduced for tenant paid utilities.

City of Fresno Staff Report 2600 Fresno Street Fresno, CA 93721 www.fresno.gov File #:ID17-918 Agenda Date:7/20/2017 Agenda #: REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL July 20, 2017 FROM:KRISTINA CHAMBERLIN, Assistant Director Parks, After School, Recreation and Community Services Department BY:KAREN M. NORRIS, Administrative Manager DIANE PRINTZ-WHITE, Management Analyst II Parks, After School, Recreation and Community Services Department SUBJECT ***RESOLUTION - 535th amendment to the Master Fee Schedule (MFS) Resolution No. 80-420 increasing certain entrance fees and adding a discounted student rate to the Shinzen Japanese Garden fees RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the City Council approve the 535th Amendment to the MFS Resolution No. 80-420 to increase certain entrance fees and add a discounted student rate to the Shinzen Japanese Garden fees. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The PARCS Department is recommending an increase to certain entrance fees and the addition of a discounted student rate to the Shinzen Japanese Garden located within Woodward Park.These fee increases have been requested by the Shinzen Friendship Garden Inc.(Shinzen),which operates the Garden under an MOU with the City and provides supplemental and specialty maintenance within the Garden,as well as site improvements and restoration.Entrance fees are used to help offset operating and maintenance costs. BACKGROUND The five-acre Shinzen Friendship Garden is located within the City’s Woodward Park.In 1967,when the park was being developed,the idea was proposed to include a Japanese Garden dedicated to Fresno’s Sister City Kochi,Japan. Groundbreaking for the Garden was held in 1975,but it took until the spring of 1981 for the Garden to be developed enough for public viewing.Later that same year the Shinzen Garden Committee was incorporated as a separate entity, Shinzen Friendship Garden Inc.Shinzen and the City entered into a Memorandum of Understanding in 2011 which formalized and expanded Shinzen’s role in the operation of the Garden.The City of Fresno retains ownership of the property and is responsible for upkeep and security,but specialized maintenance,as well as most additions and improvements, are funded by Shinzen member dues, wedding revenue and private and corporate donations. In 2015,Shinzen acquired the Clark Bonsai Collection and the Garden is experiencing an increase in attendance of approximately ten percent.Shinzen recently approached PARCS requesting entrance fee increases as well as increased City of Fresno Printed on 3/7/2023Page 1 of 2 powered by Legistar™ File #:ID17-918 Agenda Date:7/20/2017 Agenda #: approximately ten percent.Shinzen recently approached PARCS requesting entrance fee increases as well as increased hours of operation.The additional revenue will help offset increasing operating and maintenance costs.The proposed fee increases reflect Shinzen’s recommendations which are based upon strategies to increase the necessary revenues required to support the increased staffing needs associated with the additional hours and days of operation requested and recommended. ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS By definition in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)Guidelines Section 15378,the update of the MFS does not qualify as a “project” as defined by CEQA. LOCAL PREFERENCE Local preference was not implemented because this item does not involve a contract or bid. FISCAL IMPACT PARCS is estimated to receive $46,000 in entrance fees from Shinzen Japanese Garden in FY17 under the current fee schedule.The estimated additional revenue of $24,000 in FY18,due to the increase in the entrance fees,will be offset by the staffing needed for the additional hours of operation.No additional impact to the General Fund is anticipated beyond current maintenance obligations.Per Section 5 of the MOU with Shinzen,should any revenue be collected above the cost of expenses,it is to be divided half to the City’s General Fund and half to the Shinzen Garden Fund for improvements.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Street Maintenance Division is requesting the replacement of six street sweeping units at a total City of Fresno Printed on 3/7/2023Page 1 of 2 powered by Legistar™ File #:ID17-900 Agenda Date:7/20/2017 Agenda #:3-A The Street Maintenance Division is requesting the replacement of six street sweeping units at a total cost of $2,209,411.26.The division operates this class of equipment both day and night shifts incurring heavy maintenance costs especially as the equipment ages.As of April 2017 these six units were three years past their recommended replacement date.Staff recommends replacement of the six identified units to ensure the City can continue to provide quality and timely sweeping service to the residents of Fresno. BACKGROUND The Street Maintenance Division is responsible for maintaining the cleanliness of over 1,600 miles of city streets,alleys,and boulevards.This task is accomplished with just 21 units running both day and night shifts.This workload has created a productive fleet but also one that requires considerable maintenance to function effectively. Due to the high cost of this maintenance,the replacement schedule is set at five years or 10,000 hours whichever comes first.This replacement schedule was revised in 2012 after a thorough analysis by the Fleet Division found repair costs were outweighing replacement costs at the less aggressive ten-year replacement schedule.The six units to be replaced are model year 2009 and have been in service for three years beyond the replacement schedule. The purchase price per unit is $368,235.21.This price includes the NJPA discount applied to City purchases,as well as sales tax at 7.975%.This price will be honored through March 2018 for the approved specification.The Purchasing Division has approved this contract and recommends Council approval. ENVIRONMENTAL FINDING By the definition provided in the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines Section 15378,the award of this contract does not qualify as a “project”;therefore,it is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act requirements. LOCAL PREFERENCE Local preference is not applicable because the City is not issuing an RFQ for this purchase through another governmental entity. FISCAL IMPACT These contracts will not impact the General Fund.Funding for three of the new Elgin CNG Broom Bear street sweepers was secured from federal grant funds and approved in the Department of Transportation FY17 budget.The funds were not spent in FY17,and if approved the FY17 funds will be re-appropriated to FY18 to complete this project.The funding for the remaining three Elgin CNG Broom Bear street sweepers was approved in the Department of Transportation FY18 annual budget.

BACKGROUND In Fiscal Year 2014,the Federal RSTP allocated funds for the overlay of Clovis Avenue from Jensen Avenue to the Union Pacific Railroad.The roadway pavement is in poor condition and if no action is taken to maintain the roadway,deterioration will accelerate.A pavement overlay will increase the lifespan of the roadway and maintain the road’s level of service.The project includes an asphalt pavement grind and overlay,striping and pavement markings,replacement of traffic loop detectors, minor concrete improvements and modifications of curb ramps to meet ADA compliance. The Notice Inviting Bids was published in the Business Journal on April 6,2017,and posted on the City’s website and faxed to ten (10)building exchanges.The specifications were distributed to twenty-three (23)prospective bidders.Seven (7)sealed bid proposals were received and opened in a public bid opening on May 23,2017,with the bids ranging from $989,878 to $1,349,000.Cal Valley Construction is deemed the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.The apparent low bid price was 26.26%below the Engineer’s Estimate.The project will be completed 50 working days after the issuance of the notice to proceed.The bids will expire in 64 days of the bid opening on July 26, 2017.

Clark, Director Development and Resource Management Scott L. Mozier, PE, Director Public Works Department THROUGH:Dan Zack, AICP, Assistant Director Development and Resource Management By:Drew Wilson, Planner Development and Resource Management SUBJECT BILL - (For introduction) Adding Article 32 to Chapter 9 of the Fresno Municipal Code, relating to Pedicabs which allow alcohol to be consumed onboard. RECOMMENDATIONS Staff recommends Council consider for introduction the proposed Ordinance adding Article 32 to Chapter 9 of the Fresno Municipal Code (FMC),relating to Pedicabs.The Ordinance regulates pedicabs which serve alcohol on board. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The City of Fresno does not currently have an ordinance which regulates pedicabs that serve alcohol.This addition governs pedicabs and the owners and drivers of pedicabs and is necessary to protect the general safety and welfare of passengers using pedicabs for hire and pedestrians and motorists within the City. BACKGROUND The City of Fresno has been approached on many different occasions regarding the operation of pedicabs which serve alcohol within the City.On October 4,2015 Governor Brown approved Senate Bill 530,which amended Sections 467.5 and 23229 of,and to add Article 4.5 (commencing with Section 21215)to Chapter 1 of Division 11 of,and to repeal Section 21215.2 of,the Vehicle Code, relating to vehicles.Senate Bill 530 expanded the current laws governing pedicabs by expanding the definition of a pedicab;imposing specific requirements on pedicabs such as,but not limited to, City of Fresno Printed on 3/7/2023Page 1 of 2 powered by Legistar™ File #:ID17-833 Agenda Date:7/20/2017 Agenda #: definition of a pedicab;imposing specific requirements on pedicabs such as,but not limited to, training,safety,local authorization to operate,seating capacity,operator qualifications,accident reporting,loading and unloading of passengers,and financial responsibility;and allowing for the consumption of alcohol by passengers of a pedicab.The ordinance would allow for a growing industry to take advantage of the entertainment districts in Fresno,which includes a growing craft beer market.Downtown Fresno is on course for revitalization,and allowing for a variety of attractions provides the potential for patrons to support all local industries.This service has proven to be a great attraction in other cities,and has local support and encouragement from the Downtown Partnerships. There are several local businesses and developers who are looking forward to the potential of the service as well as starting services. ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS By definition provided in the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines Section 15378 this ordinance does not qualify as a “project”and is therefore exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act requirements. LOCAL PREFERENCE Local preference does not apply because this ordinance does not include a bid or award a construction or services contract. FISCAL IMPACT No fiscal impact will occur as a result of adding the Pedicab Ordinance.All costs for licenses and services will be borne by the owners, operators and users of the pedicabs.
