FROM THE OFFICE OF
MAYOR ASHLEY SWEARENGIN
PROCLAMATION
WHEREAS,consistent attendance is essential to student achievement and graduation, and our community is
committed to dedicating our attention to reducing chronic absenteeism, with a focus starting as
early as kindergarten; and
WHEREAS,chronic absence – missing 10 percent or more of school for any reason including excused and
unexcused absences, or just two or three days per month – is a proven predictor of academic
trouble and dropout rates; and
WHEREAS,the impact of chronic absence hits low-income and children of color particularly hard if they lack the
resources to make up for lost time in the classroom and are more likely to face systemic barriers to
getting to school such as limited or unreliable transportation, lack of access to health care, and
unstable or unaffordable housing; and
WHEREAS,chronic absence exacerbates the achievement gap that separates low-income students from their
peers, since students from low-income families are both more likely to be chronically absent and
more likely to be affected academically by missing school; and
WHEREAS,absenteeism also undermines efforts to improve struggling schools, since it is difficult to measure
improvement in classroom instruction if students are not in class to benefit from the instruction; and
WHEREAS,schools and districts track, calculate and share the data on how many students are chronically
absent so that the proper interventions can be delivered for students in need; and
WHEREAS,all students – even those who show up regularly – are affected by chronic absence, as teachers
must spend time reviewing for students who miss lessons; and
WHEREAS,improving attendance and reducing chronic absence takes commitment, collaboration and tailored
approaches to particular challenges and strengths in each community; and
WHEREAS,schools, families, neighborhoods, and community partners can reach out more frequently to absent
students to determine why they are missing school and what would help them attend regularly; and
WHEREAS,chronic absence can be significantly reduced when schools, parents and communities work
together to monitor and promote good attendance and address hurdles that keep children from
getting to school.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that I, Mayor Ashley Swearengin, do hereby proclaim the month of
September 2014 to be:
“ATTENDANCE AWARENESS MONTH”
in the City of Fresno.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand
and affixed the Seal of the City of Fresno, California, this
11th day of September, 2014.

City Attorney Sloan stated the following for the record: "Fresno Municipal
Code section 12-405(a)(3) says, for site plans, 'a site plan shall be approved
only when it is found that: a) all applicable provisions of this code are
complied with and, in addition, that the following are so arranged that traffic
congestion is avoided, pedestrian and vehicular safety and welfare are
protected, and surrounding property is protected from adverse effect.' Then
it has a list: 'facilities and improvements, vehicular ingress, egress and
internal circulation, setbacks, height of buildings, location of buildings, walls,
landscaping, lighting, signs and recycling areas,' so that is what is being
analyzed."
President Brandau stated, for the record, that a previous vote on river
access which was mentioned by Acting President Baines, was not an
accurate comparison to the current vote before Council. President Brandau
explained the river access vote involved a group that wanted access to the
San Joaquin river through a residential neighborhood even though the
residential road was not built to handle the increased traffic. President
Brandau noted the river access vote was not comparable to the current vote
City of Fresno *Subject to mayoral veto Page 19

because, in this case, the current site and zoning exactly match the use
proposed by the applicant.
Acting President Baines motioned to reject the proposed item and received

BACKGROUND
The Department of Public Utilities Water Division has retained the expert services of CH2MHill to
provide project management consulting and oversight of their CIP.The scope of the services
requires that CH2MHill and the Water Division staff routinely collaborate to ensure that the projects
are meeting regulatory compliance and budget constraints.To effectively execute this level of
collaboration it is vital that the employees co-locate through planning,design and construction
phases.The initial planning and design phase will be completed in traditional office space.Once
construction ensues,in approximately 18 months the parties will relocate together in trailers at the
site.
The City of Fresno has office space available at the MSC in Building A that can be used to co-locate
the tenant through the planning and design phase. The current lease terms include the following:
·Effective October 1, 2014.
·Lease is for the 7,250 square feet of Building A,a 10,000 square foot office
building.
·Tenant accepts Premises “as is”,in its existing physical condition with all faults,
without warranty by City or any duty obligation on the part of City to maintain the
Premises.
·This Lease shall continue from month to month commencing on the effective
date, until terminated upon thirty (30) days’ notice from either party.
·Rent for the term of this lease will be $9,787.50 ($1.35 per square foot)per
month payable by the tenant in advance.
·The City shall provide utilities,common space security and parking for up to 60
stalls.Tenant assumes all responsibility for its protection of Tenant,its employees,
agents and invitees and property from acts of third parties.
·Tenant will agree to City’s standard indemnification and carry applicable
insurance.
ENVIRONMENTAL FINDING
Staff has performed a preliminary environmental assessment of this project and has determined that
it falls within the Class 1 Categorical Exemptions as set forth in the CEQA Guidelines Section 15301
as this amendment is to lease an existing building and will involve negligible expansion of the existing
use.Furthermore,none of the exceptions to the Categorical Exemptions set forth in CEQA
Guidelines Section 15300.2 apply to this project.
LOCAL PREFERENCE
Local preference is not applicable because this is not a contract for goods,services,or public work of
improvement.
FISCAL IMPACT
This lease does not negatively impact the General Fund.CH2MHill will pay the City of Fresno
$9,787.50 ($1.35 per square foot)per month to lease space in MSC Building A.The lease amount
includes up to 60 parking stalls,utilities and security.Proceeds will be used for maintenance at the

(as defined in this Lease) shall apply to all claims and liability regardless of
whether any insurance policies are applicable. The policy limits do not act as a
limitation upon the amount of indemnification to be provided by Tenant. Approval
or purchase of any insurance contracts or policies shall in no way relieve from
liability nor limit the liability of Tenant, or its representatives, consultants,
contractors or subcontractors.
(f) Upon request of City, Tenant shall immediately furnish City with a
complete copy of any insurance policy required under this Lease, including all
endorsements, with said copy certified by the underwriter to be a true and correct
copy of the original policy. This requirement shall survive expiration or termination
of this Lease.

consultants, contractors and subcontractors with the insurance requirements in
Subsections (c), (d), (e), (f) and (g) of this se ction, except that any required
certificates and applicable endorsements shall be on file with Tenant and City prior

possession of all or any portion of the Premises be taken under the power of
eminent domain by any public or quasi-public agency or entity, this Lease shall
terminate as of 12:01 a.m. of, whichever first occurs, the date legal title of said
Premises becomes vested in or actual physical possession of said Premises is
taken by the agency or entity exercising the power of eminent domain and both
City and Tenant shall thereafter be released from all obligations under this Lease.
(b) Condemnation Award. Any compensation or damages awarded or
payable because of the taking of all or any portion of the Premises by eminent
domain shall be allocated between City and Tenant as follows:
(1) All compensation or damages awarded or payable for the
taking by eminent domain of any land that is part of the Property shall be paid to
and be the sole property of City free and clear of any claim of Tenant or any
person claiming rights to the Premises through or under Tenant.
(2) Upon condemnation and allocation of proceeds, hereunder,
this Lease shall terminate.
11. RIGHT OF ENTRY. City, or City's representatives, shall have the right to
enter the Premises at any time upon 24 hours advance notice during the Lease, to

notice, which may be applicable to the Premises (collectively, “Legal
Requirements”) regardless of when they become effective, insofar as they relate to
Tenant’s activities or Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises. The judgment of
any court of competent jurisdiction, or the admission of Tenant in any action or
proceeding against Tenant, whether or not City is a party in such action or
proceeding, that Tenant has violated any Legal Requirement relating to Tenant’s
activities and Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises, shall be conclusive of that
fact as between City and Tenant. Tenant shall furnish satisfactory evidence of such
compliance upon request by City.

(b)Tenant acknowledges that all Claims arising out of or in any way
connected with releases or discharges of a Hazardous Substance, or the
exacerbation of a Potential Environmental Hazard, occurring as a result of or in

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Water Division maintains a network of some 275 plus municipal water supply wells that
provides 88%of the City’s potable water.New wells are required to meet new demands,replace
wells that have reached the end of their useful life,or assist in remediating water quality issues.
The proposed property acquisition will provide a new water well site to augment lost production
when the older outdated well in the area was decommissioned.
BACKGROUND
The subject parcel was identified as a suitable well site due to its size and location.Staff has
negotiated with the property owners to purchase the subject parcel for the amount of $300,000,
which is based on appraised values.Owners of the parcel have agreed to the amount of
compensation offered by the City and signed the Agreement for purchase and sale and the Grant
Deed.With Council approval,payment will be made to the owner and the Grant Deed will be
recorded.
The acquisition of this parcel will allow the Water Division to replace the old well known as Pump
Station 290,which had to be taken out of service,because it had reached the end of its useful life
and was decommissioned per State requirements.Exploratory drilling was performed and confirmed
the feasibility of drilling a water production well at the new site.
A Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment was also completed and no environmental hazards were
found at this location.
The documents signed by the property owners have been approved as to form by the City
Attorney’s Office.
Following acquisition of the property,plans and specifications will be prepared for the drilling of the
production well,bids will be solicited and a well drilling contract will be presented to the Council for
award.The last phase of the project is the construction of the well site improvements.These
include structures,piping and equipment necessary for the operation of the well,and additionally
includes landscaping,masonry block wall,and street work.This phase of the project will also be bid
separately and award for the construction will be presented to the Council for approval.
ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS
An initial study was prepared for the above described project,which has been determined to be a
subsequent project fully within the scope of the Master Environmental Impact Report No.10130
(MEIR)prepared for the 2025 Fresno General Plan (SCH #2001071097)and Mitigated Negative
Declaration prepared for Plan Amendment No.A-09-02 (SCH #2009051016)(Air Quality MND).
With the mitigation imposed,there is no substantial evidence in the record that this project may have
additional significant,direct,indirect or cumulative effects on the environment that are significant and
that were not identified and analyzed in the MEIR or Air Quality MND.After conducting a review of
the adequacy of the MEIR and Air Quality MND pursuant to Public Resources Code,Section 21157.6
(b)(1),staff has determined there are no substantial changes that have occurred with respect to the
circumstances under which the MEIR was certified and the Air Quality MND was adopted and that no
new information,which was not known and could not have been known at the time that the MEIR
was certified as complete and the Air Quality MND was adopted,has become available.The projectCity of Fresno Printed on 12/16/2022Page 2 of 3
powered by Legistar™
File #:ID#14-253 Agenda Date:9/11/2014 Agenda #:
was certified as complete and the Air Quality MND was adopted,has become available.The project
is not located on a site which is included on any of the lists enumerated under Section 65962.5 of the
Government Code including,but not limited to,lists of hazardous waste facilities,land designated as
hazardous waste property,hazardous waste disposal sites and others,and the information in the
Hazardous Waste and Substances Statement required under subdivision (f)of that Section.
Therefore,any necessary environmental review required by CEQA has been completed for the
project.
LOCAL PREFERENCE
Local preference was not considered because this action does not involve a bid or award of a
construction or services contract.
FISCAL IMPACT
The project,which is located in a County Island within District 2,will not have any impact to the
General Fund.Funds for the site acquisition are included in Water Division’s FY 2015 Capital
Improvement Program budget within the Water Enterprise Fund (40101).

SUBJECT
Actions pertaining to the Garage 8 Air Sensor Replacements and Exhaust Fan Controller Upgrade
Project (Council District 3)
1.Adopt finding of a Categorical Exemption per staff determination,pursuant to Section 15301(d)
of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines
2.Award a construction contract to Strategic Mechanical,Inc.of Fresno,California in the amount
of $227,469 for the Garage 8 Air Sensors Replacement and Exhaust Fan Controller Upgrade
Project
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that City Council adopt finding of a Categorical Exemption,per staff determination,
pursuant to section 15301(d)of the CEQA Guidelines and award a construction contract to Strategic
Mechanical,Inc.,of Fresno,California for the Garage 8 Air Sensors Replacement and Exhaust Fan
Controller Upgrade Project (Project).
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Project will replace the existing control system and air sensors that manage the four (4)large
exhaust fans at the underground parking Garage 8 which is owned by the City of Fresno.The
existing system has air sensors that are inoperable and obsolete thus requiring the exhaust fans to
operate twenty-four (24)hours a day,365 days a year.The replacement of the control system and
exhaust sensors,in conjunction with replacing the existing fan motors with variable frequency drive
motors,will reduce the ongoing operating cost of the Garage 8.The projected payback period for
City of Fresno Printed on 4/5/2022Page 1 of 3

File #:ID#14-318 Agenda Date:9/11/2014 Agenda #:1-D
motors,will reduce the ongoing operating cost of the Garage 8.The projected payback period for
both phases of work is less than three years.
BACKGROUND
The existing air sensors in the Garage 8 are non-functional and obsolete.In addition,the existing
outdated controls are not capable of communicating with the new sensors or handling future motor
replacements.The arrangements for the existing components were designed to simply run in either
an ON or OFF position.With the dilapidated air sensors being non-functional,the system is required
to be left in an ON state where all four of the large fan motors currently run twenty-four (24)hours
day,365 days a year.As a result the motors have been running more hours than they were originally
designed for thus shortening their life cycle and requiring frequent maintenance.
This Project will install new air sensors throughout the parking structure,and upgrade the controller
to a system that is capable of communicating with these new sensors.This upgraded controller
would also be capable of handling future upgrades for new motors including motors that run at a
Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) Speed.
As part of the second phase to this project the four existing motors will be replaced with VFD motors
to increase efficiency and maximize both energy and cost savings.The second phase will commence
shortly after this first phase is completed and is estimated to cost an additional $125,000.The
controller will work in conjunction with the new sensors to fully automate the VFD motors to not only
turn on and off when needed,but the motors will also run at varied speeds to meet the demand,
depending on the number of vehicles in the garage.
This phase of the Project is eligible for a Pacific Gas &Electric (PG&E)rebate of approximately
$54,000.The total cost saving derived from the project has an estimated payback period of three
years for both phases.
The Guardian Group Job Order Contracting (JOC)was approved by Council on December 17,2009.
This contract provides competitively bid fixed-unit pricing for construction tasks from local contractors
which would provide Facilities Management Division with the ability to provide prompt response for
building maintenance or construction services to City departments at competitive local market pricing.

BY:JOHN ROBERTSON, Interim Manager
Housing and Community Development Division
SUBJECT
Approve a State of California Lead Poisoning Prevention Program Agreement in the amount of
$436,470 with the County of Fresno, for three years, for lead hazard assistance and outreach
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council approve a State of California Childhood Lead Poisoning
Prevention Program (CLPPP)Agreement in the amount of $436,470 with the County of Fresno for
three years, for lead hazard assistance and outreach.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Housing and Community Development Division is currently administering the City’s Office of Healthy Homes Lead
Hazard Control Grant Program (OHHLHC)funded through the U.S.Department of Housing and Urban Development
(HUD).As a complement to those efforts,the Division administered the previous CLPPP grant from 2011-2014 approved
by Council on September 15,2011.The CLPPP grant is funded through the County of Fresno’s Department of Public
Health.If approved as recommended funds will be used by the City,as they were in the previous CLPPP grant,to
increase awareness regarding hazards of lead exposure,reducing lead exposure through housing rehabilitation and code
enforcement,and increase the number of children assessed appropriately,blood tested for lead poisoning and treated in
collaboration with the County. CLPPP funds are also needed as match requirements for the OHHLHC Grant.
BACKGROUND
For the 2014-2017 program years,the State has provided the County of Fresno with the new round of funding,who in
turn grants some of that funding to the City to continue the partnership and services established with the previous CLPPP
Grants.
The CLPPP grant’s purpose is to eliminate childhood lead poisoning by identifying and caring for lead burdened children
by providing a healthy,lead-safe environment.The County currently provides home visitation,environmental home
inspections and nutritional assessments to families of children found to be lead-poisoned and provides telephone
contacts and educational materials to families of lead-poisoned and lead exposed children.The City and the County will
provide information and education to the general public,medical providers,and community based organizations about
lead hazards.The City will combine these efforts with the OHHLHC grant program which currently targets lead hazard

lead hazards.The City will combine these efforts with the OHHLHC grant program which currently targets lead hazard
control efforts in housing where children under six years of age are at greatest risk of lead poisoning.The CLPPP funded
activities to be undertaken by the City include lead assessments,lead remediation,lead clearances,outreach,education,
and enforcement.
The grants will be available City-wide,and will focus on work in specific target areas.Target areas were selected based
on the level of concentrated lower income households and cases of lead poisoning.Those areas include the Lowell area
(93701),Downtown and east of Downtown (93702),West Fresno (93706),and a portion of South East Fresno (93727).
By targeting these specific areas,the City will be able to use the Program funds to assist those with the greatest need
while helping to reduce lead based paint hazards and poisoning in units where children under age six reside.
The City Attorney has reviewed and approved the agreement as to form.
ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS
Environmental findings are not applicable to this agreement.The lead agency is responsible for environmental findings
based upon section 15367 of the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines.The agreement does not require the
City to act as lead agency or to conduct a California Environmental Quality Assessment.
LOCAL PREFERENCE
Local preference was not implemented based on conditions of State funding.
FISCAL IMPACT
This is a State of California funding source and no match is required,the General Fund is not impacted.The funding
amount of $145,490 is included in the Development and Resource Management Department’s FY2015 budget.Funding
for the second and third years of this three-year grant will be included in the proposed FY2016 and FY2017 budgets
when they are developed. If approved, funding will be used for required match of the Division’s OHHLHC program.

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
September 11, 2014
FROM:KEVIN R. MEIKLE, Director of Aviation
Airports Department
SUBJECT
Authorize the Director of Aviation to execute a consulting agreement with Blair, Church & Flynn
Consulting Engineers of Clovis, CA to provide professional civil engineering consulting services to
relocate employee parking and provide other related facilities at Fresno Yosemite International Airport
in an amount not to exceed $97,580
RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the Director of Aviation to execute a consulting agreement with Blair,Church &Flynn
Consulting Engineers (BCF)for the relocation of employee parking and other related facilities
(Project) at Fresno Yosemite International Airport (FAT).
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
With continued record growth,the Airports Department is planning to increase the number of
available long term parking stalls at FAT.The existing long term parking facility constructed in 2002
was designed to accommodate this growth.However,a portion of the long term parking lot was
separated and utilized for temporary employee parking.It is now time to recapture those stalls for
long term parking use by constructing a separate and dedicated employee parking lot.The
consulting agreement with BCF will initiate this process and include design of other related
improvements.
BACKGROUND
Since 2009,the number of passengers using FAT has been steadily increasing.Total passengers
using FAT in 2013 was an all-time record,and 2014 is shaping up to be another record year.The
average growth over the last five years is 10%,and since 2011 it has been 18%.Airports
Department tracks parking facility usage daily and has confirmed a corresponding growth rate in the
public parking lots.The short term lot has sufficient capacity for the foreseeable future.However,
in its current configuration the long term lot is at or near capacity during peak travel times of the
year.The Project will provide a separate employee parking lot in a location that has been

year.The Project will provide a separate employee parking lot in a location that has been
previously designated for possible future parking.Removal of the temporary employee parking
area from the public long term lot will provide the necessary added capacity.
The growth at FAT has also caused overflow conditions at the cell phone vehicle parking area.
Therefore,the Project will increase available parking spaces in the cell phone waiting area.Other
enhancements associated with the Project will include,but not limited to,a relocated and upgraded
taxi queuing area, electric vehicle charging stations, lighting and security.
Through a competitive Request for Qualifications (RFQ)process,the Airports Department invited
civil engineering firms that could provide comprehensive full-service planning,design,construction
documents,bidding support and construction administration to submit Statements of Qualifications.
The Airports Department issued a public notice for qualified firms in The Business Journal and on
the Airport’s website and direct mailed the RFQ to all interested firms.Ten professional consulting
firms responded to the RFQ,and their qualifications were evaluated by a committee of four in
accordance with the provisions of the RFQ and FAA regulations.The firms were rated based on
the evaluations and three firms were selected for future service.Of those three firms,it has been
determined by the Department that BCF is most qualified to perform the Project.
The agreement utilizes Standard Document #FYI-S 16.1,pre-approved as to form by the City
Attorney’s Office and used without modification as certified by Airports staff.
ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS
Not applicable because the agreement does not constitute a project.
LOCAL PREFERENCE
Blair,Church &Flynn Consulting Engineers is a local firm as defined in the City’s Local Preference
Ordinance for Consultant Services (FMC 4-109).
FISCAL IMPACT
Funding for this Project is provided by Airports Department funds.The Project is included in the
City’s FY 2015 Budget. There is no impact to the General Fund from this action.

authorized representative for each party. CONSULTANT shall not be entitled to any additional
compensation if services are performed prior to a signed written amendment.
4. Termination, Remedies and Force Majeure.
(a) This Agreement shall terminate without any liability of CITY to
CONSULTANT upon the earlier of: (i) CONSULTANT’S filing for protection under the federal

or negligence such as, acts of God or the public enemy, acts of CITY in its contractual capacity,
fires, floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, strikes, unusually severe weather, and delays of
common carriers. CONSULTANT shall notify Director in writing as soon as it is reasonably
possible after the commencement of any excusable delay, setting forth the full particulars in
connection therewith, and shall remedy such occurrence with all reasonable dispatch, and shall
promptly give written notice to Director of the cessation of such occurrence.
5. Confidential Information, Ownership of Documents and Copyright License.
(a) Any reports, information, or other data prepared or assembled by
CONSULTANT pursuant to this Agreement shall not be made available to any individual or
organization by CONSULTANT without the prior written approval of CITY. During the term of
this Agreement, and thereafter, CONSULTANT shall not, without the prior written consent of
CITY, disclose to anyone any Confidential Information. The term Confidential Information for
the purposes of this Agreement shall include all proprietary and confidential information of CITY,
including but not limited to business plans, marketing plans, financial information, designs,
drawings, specifications, materials, compilations, documents, instruments, models, source or
object codes and other information disclosed or submitted, orally, in writing, or by any other
medium or media. All Confidential Information shall be and remain confidential and proprietary

default by CONSULTANT. CONSULTANT grants CITY a copyright license to use such
drawings and writings. CONSULTANT shall not permit the reproduction or use thereof by any
other person except as otherwise expressly provided herein. CITY may modify the design
including any drawings or writings. Any use by CITY of the aforesaid sketches, tracings, plans,
computations, specifications, computer disk files, writings and other documents in completed
form as to other projects or extensions of this Project, or in uncompleted form, without specific
written verification by CONSULTANT will be at CITY’S sole risk and without liability or legal
exposure to CONSULTANT. CONSULTANT may keep a copy of all drawings and

be performed under this Agreement, CONSULTANT shall cause each subcontractor to also
comply with the requirements of this Section 5.
(d) This Section 5 shall survive expiration or termination of this Agreement.
6. Professional Skill. It is further mutually understood and agreed by and between
the parties hereto that inasmuch as CONSULTANT represents to CITY that CONSULTANT and
its subcontractors, if any, are skilled in the profession and shall perform in accordance with the
standards of said profession necessary to perform the services agreed to be done by it under
this Agreement, CITY relies upon the skill of CONSULTANT and any subcontractors to do and
perform such services in a skillful manner and CONSULTANT agrees to thus perform the
services and require the same of any subcontractors. Therefore, any acceptance of such
services by CITY shall not operate as a release of CONSULTANT or any subcontractors from
said professional standards.

7. Indemnification. To the furthest extent allowed by law, CONSULTANT shall
indemnify, hold harmless and defend CITY and each of its officers, officials, employees, agents
and volunteers from any and all loss, liability, fines, penalties, forfeitures, costs and damages
(whether in contract, tort or strict liability, including but not limited to personal injury, death at
any time and property damage), and from any and all claims, demands and actions in law or
equity (including reasonable attorney's fees and litigation expenses) that arise out of, pertain to,
or relate to the negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct of CONSULTANT, its principals,
officers, employees, agents or volunteers in the performance of this Agreement.
If CONSULTANT should subcontract all or any portion of the services to be performed
under this Agreement, CONSULTANT shall require each subcontractor to indemnify, hold
harmless and defend CITY and each of its officers, officials, employees, agents and volunteers
in accordance with the terms of the preceding paragraph.
This section shall survive termination or expiration of this Agreement.
8. Insurance.
(a) Throughout the life of this Agreement, CONSULTANT shall pay for and
maintain in full force and effect all insurance as required in Exhibit B, which is incorporated into
and part of this Agreement, with an insurance company(ies) either (i) admitted by the California
Insurance Commissioner to do business in the State of California and rated no less than “A-VII”
in the Best’s Insurance Rating Guide, or (ii) as may be authorized in writing by CITY'S Risk
Manager or his/her designee at any time and in his/her sole discretion. The required policies of
insurance as stated in Exhibit B shall maintain limits of liability of not less than those amounts
stated therein. However, the insurance limits available to CITY, its officers, officials, employees,
agents and volunteers as additional insureds, shall be the greater of the minimum limits
specified therein or the full limit of any insurance proceeds to the named insured.
(b) If at any time during the life of the Agreement or any extension,
CONSULTANT or any of its subcontractors/sub-consultants fail to maintain any required
insurance in full force and effect, all services and work under this Agreement shall be
discontinued immediately, and all payments due or that become due to CONSULTANT shall be
withheld until notice is received by CITY that the required insurance has been restored to full
force and effect and that the premiums therefore have been paid for a period satisfactory to
CITY. Any failure to maintain the required insurance shall be sufficient cause for CITY to
terminate this Agreement. No action taken by CITY pursuant to this section shall in any way
relieve CONSULTANT of its responsibilities under this Agreement. The phrase “fail to maintain
any required insurance” shall include, without limitation, notification received by CITY that an
insurer has commenced proceedings, or has had proceedings commenced against it, indicating
that the insurer is insolvent.
(c) The fact that insurance is obtained by CONSULTANT shall not be
deemed to release or diminish the liability of CONSULTANT, including, without limitation, liability
under the indemnity provisions of this Agreement. The duty to indemnify CITY shall apply to all
claims and liability regardless of whether any insurance policies are applicable. The policy limits
do not act as a limitation upon the amount of indemnification to be provided by CONSULTANT.
Approval or purchase of any insurance contracts or policies shall in no way relieve from liability
nor limit the liability of CONSULTANT, its principals, officers, agents, employees, persons under
the supervision of CONSULTANT, vendors, suppliers, invitees, consultants, sub-consultants,
subcontractors, or anyone employed directly or indirectly by any of them.

(d) If CONSULTANT should subcontract all or any portion of the services to
be performed under this Agreement, CONSULTANT shall require each subcontractor/sub-
consultant to provide insurance protection, as an additional insured, to the CITY and each of its
officers, officials, employees, agents and volunteers in accordance with the terms of this
section, except that any required certificates and applicable endorsements shall be on file with

Exhibit A
SCOPE OF SERVICES
Consultant Service Agreement between City of Fresno (“City”)
and Blair, Church & Flynn Consulting Engineers (“Consultant”)
Relocation of the Employee Parking Lot at Fresno Yosemite International Airport
Project Scope
The City of Fresno Airports Department has determined that it is necessary to expand the long-
term parking lot at Fresno Yosemite International Airport to provide more parking spaces within
that area. Expanding the parking lot will require the relocation of the employee parking for the
commercial air carriers and concessionaire employees who work within the terminal building.
The Airports Department has selected design Alternate No. 7 that reconfigures the Manager’s
Parking lot to have 73 parking spaces with 1 electric vehicle charging station (EV) and
infrastructure for 2 future charging stations; a new employee parking lot with 373 parking spaces
including 8 handicapped spaces, 3 EV charging stations and infrastructure for 4 future charging
stations; a reconfigured cabby parking area with 20 parking spaces; and a reconfigured cell
phone parking area with 48 parking spaces. Access for the Manager’s Parking lot will not
change. Access for the new employee parking lot and the new cabby parking area will be from
East McKinley Avenue and not from Terry Cooper Drive. Access for the cell phone parking area
will remain off of Terry Cooper Drive. The project will also include extending sewer, water, and
electrical services to a new break building for the cab drivers that will be located in their parking
area. The new parking areas and reconfiguration of the existing employee parking area is
estimated to cost $1,319,000.
The Airports Department has requested this proposal to prepare the construction documents for
bidding purposes for the Alternative No. 7 parking lot. The construction documents would also
include retrofitting the present employee parking lot for expansion of the long-term parking lot.
The retrofitting would include new controlled gate access, some demolition of existing concrete
improvements, construction of new concrete improvements, and restriping of some areas of the
parking lot. The construction documents for the new parking lot will include preparation of the
demolition plan, grading and drainage plan, signing and striping plan, access control and
security fence plan, lighting plan with Light Emitting Diode light fixtures and dimming option (the
lighting of the parking lot shall provide a minimum average of 1.5 lumens within the parking lot),
inclusion of up to 10 EV charging stations in the Long Term Parking, estimates of construction
costs, and specifications, as well as review and revisions to the plans in accordance with
Airports Department comments. Additionally, the work will include supporting services while the
project is out to bid and during the construction of the project. Record drawings and the final
Engineer’s report will be prepared to close out the project.
Much of the base mapping has been prepared for the project during the preliminary planning
phase of the project, which was completed to prepare the alternative designs for the parking
areas. However, the new cabby parking area extends into an area for which no topographic
survey is available. Therefore, some additional topographic survey and base mapping work will
have to be accomplished with the design work for Alternative No. 7.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that City Council take the following actions:
1.Adopt the resolution of the Council of the City of Fresno adopting the 18th Amendment to the
AAR No.2014-95 appropriating $40,000 from the California State Office of Historic Preservation

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In its 2014 final report,the City’s Business Friendly Fresno Task Force recommended that intensive
historic property surveys,for neighborhoods not previously surveyed,would help facilitate future
investment and streamline environmental review.City staff identified the South Van Ness Industrial

investment and streamline environmental review.City staff identified the South Van Ness Industrial
Revitalization Project Area,with its mix of commercial and residential properties,as a good candidate
for a potential Certified Local Government (CLG)matching grant through the State Office of Historic
Preservation.The Development and Resource Management Department included a $60,000 line
item for this parcel-by-parcel survey in the Department’s approved 2015 budget.Department staff
prepared a CLG grant application and the City was recently notified that it is one of five cities in the
State to receive an award for the 2014-2015 grant cycle.The City’s Finance Department has
prepared an AAR (No.2014-95)to incorporate the $40,000 grant into the budget of the Development
and Resource Management Department.
BACKGROUND
Nine plan areas are located within the (former)Redevelopment Agency’s Merger No.1
Redevelopment Project.Of these nine areas,all but one,the South Van Ness Industrial Revitalization
Project Area,was included in full or part within the 304 parcel Downtown Fresno (Fulton Corridor)
Historic Resources Survey.The South Van Ness Industrial District encompasses 593 acres south of
State Route 41 and east of State Route 99.The District includes the southern-most section of
Fresno’s historic Armenian Town.Further south the neighborhood is a mix of commercial buildings
which reflect the area’s former (and current)history of fruit packing and general industrial uses.The
area is a focus of the City’s economic revitalization with both vacant lots and existing older buildings.
The City-established “Business Friendly Fresno Task Force”recommended that any new
development or adaptive reuse of buildings will proceed more expediently if property owners are
aware of the historic status of a parcel,prior to project development.One recommendation of the
Task Force was to have the City prepare historic surveys of areas not previously recorded.
In spring of 2014 Department staff prepared a grant application to the California State Office of
Historic Preservation (OHP)for Phase 1 of the project area,thus a historic survey of the 207.6 acres
north of California Avenue,which includes approximately 306 parcels.The OHP is required by
federal law to pass through at least 10%of its annual Federal Historic Preservation Fund (HPF)
allocation to Certified Local Government (CLG)for Historic Preservation Fund-eligible activities.The
CLG grant program is based on a match of both actual dollars and in-kind services from the
applicant.The $60,000 line item in the Department budget was leveraged with the $40,000 grant as
well as staff and volunteer time for a total estimated budget of $103,186.
The project timeline begins October 1,2014 and the project must be completed by September 30,
2015.
ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS
This is not a “project”for the purposes of CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines,section 15378(b)(4)
as it is a government fiscal activity,and section 15378(b)(5)as it is an administrative activity that will
not result in direct or indirect physical changes to the environment.
LOCAL PREFERENCE
Local preference was not considered because this does not include a bid or award of a construction
or services contract.

The City of Fresno, hereafter the Participant, will contract with a consultant meeting the Secretary of the Interior’s
Professional Qualifications for historian or architectural historian as set forth in 36 CFR part 61, Appendix A, to
prepare an intensive levelhistoric resource survey of the South Van Ness Industrial Revitalization Project Area. The
area encompasses 593 acres and includes the southern-most section of the old Armenian Town, remnant
residential buildings mixed in with industrial sites and vacant parcels. The area has never been the subject of a

Register Bulletin #24 - Guidelines for Local Surveys: A Basis for Preservation Planning, and the Office of Historic
Preservation’s instructions.
PROGRESS REPORTS:

with the following schedule. A work plan will be developed and the deliverables to be included with each progress
report will be determined in consultation with the OHP coordinator, the chosen consultant, and the CLG grant
manager at the beginning of the grant period and the agreed upon work plan will become part of the contract.
Progress reports will include any deliverables specified in the work plan, detail the work accomplished to date, and
identify and discuss any problems or issues which have the potential to adversely affect the scope or progress of
the project. OHP may ask for additional progress reports or drafts of work papers during the project period.
OHP reserves the right to withhold disbursement of up to half the grant amount until the final products have been
determined to meet the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards. Participant may submit billings for partial payment as

7.13.05 Non-Minimum Staffinq - Flexinq of Hours;
To accommodate the personal needs of members and to create the best
working environment, given the context of a police department whose
primary goal is service to the community, members assigned to non-
minimum staffing units may request and be assigned flexible hours of
work. The member's Supervisor may adjust hours of work under the
following conditions:
(1) The operational needs of non-minimum staff unit shall be the
primary concern for a Supervisor when determining a request for
flexing of hours.
(2) A Superuisor may grant a member's request to flex hours up to
one (1) hour before or after the standard shift hours beginning at
0700 and ending at 1730.
(3) The occasional granting of a flex schedule pursuant to this
subsection will be only for specific qualified purposes as
determined by a Supervisor. Examples of a specific qualified
request by a member may include attending his or her child's
baseball game, a doctor's appointment, meeting someone who is
arriving at the airport, or some other qualified event.
(4) Granting a long-term flex schedule shall require concurrence of
the Bureau Commander. Examples of the need for a long-term
flex schedule may include home nurse care for a spouse and the
need to relieve the care giver, circumstances involving a "special
needs" child, continuing education, or some other qualifíed event.
Fresno Police Officers Association, Basic Unit
MOU 9/11114 - 6130t17
Page 44
(5) A Supervisor may require the members to decide amongst
themselves who is to be granted a flex schedule. The decision by
the members shall be by mutual agreement. lf the members are
unable or unwilling to make such decision, the Supervisor shall
have the discretion to make whatever decision he or she deems
appropriate.
(6) With the concurrence of the Bureau Commander and in lieu of
granting a flex schedule, a Supervisor may offer to a member the
option of a fixed 5/8 schedule with the hours of 0730 to 1600, for
a minimum of thirty (30) days.
(7) ln order to meet departmental operational and service needs, a
Supervisor may terminate, at any time, a membe/s flexed
schedule upon thirty (30) days written notice to the affected
member. The decision to discontinue a flex hour schedule is not
appealable or grievable.
7. I 3.06 Staff Wizard/Corona Solutions:
The department may utilize Staff WizardiCorona Solutions in the
deployment of patrol personnel (policing districts). Deployment is
inclusive of the number and scheduling of shifts, the number and
configuration of policing districts, members assigned to each shift, and
the day off configuration and/or rotation of days off. Data used to
develop Staff Wizard/Corona Solutions recommendations at the
beginning of each matrix period, and the resulting district and shift
minimum staffing levels will be based on the number of personnel
assigned to the patrol matrix who are not expected to be on injury or
other absence status longer than thirty (30) days into the matrix period.
Staff Wizard/Corona Solutions recommendations can be implemented
up to a maximum of two (2) times in a fiscal year provided that all
affected members receive the change that will occur at sign-ups. No shift
shall start before 0600. Although Staff Wizard/Corona Solutions may
recommend SummerMinter base shift hours, management reserves the
right at any time to adjust those hours with five (5) calendar days
advance notice based on operational/service needs.
The department reserves the right to determine initial minímum staffing
levels in patrol, by shift and district, at the beginning of the matrix period.
During the course of the matrix period, the department may review and
increase minimum staffing levels. The department may subsequently
reduce the increases, but, except as may be required by budget
Fresno Police Officers Association, Basic Unit
MOU 9/11t14 - 6t30t17
Page 45
reductions resulting in actual personnel reductions, may not go below
levels initially set for each shift and district at the beginning of the matrix
period. Such changes in minimum staffing levels may not occur more
often than monthly, and may not cause a cancellation of previously
approved time off, or prevíously approved on-duty training time.
The Association will designate a representative who will participate in the
process of determining annual Staff Wizard/Corona Solutions
recommendations.
7.13.07 Absent with Substitute (AWS):
(1) AWS with Trade - ln accordance with Section Z (pX3) of the Fair
Labor Standards Act (FLSA) as discussed in 29 CFR 553.31, the
City agrees that members may substitute for one another when
staffing levels do not permit a member to take time otf. The
substitution must be during scheduled work hours, and in the
performance of work in the same capacity. The hours worked are
excluded by the City in the calculation of the hours for which the
substitute member would othen¡vise be entitled to overtime
compensation under the FLSA and under Section 7.3. When one
member substitutes for another, the member being substituted for
will be credited as if he or she had worked his or her normal
schedule for that shift.
(2',)Probationary Officers - Officers on probation may utilize 40 hours
of AWS to take time off during any calendar quarter with no
restriction on how many hours of AWS they can work during any
calendar quarter. Probationary Officers needing to utilize more
than 40 hours of AWS to take time off during a calendar quarter
may do so with district commander approval.
Non-Probationary Officers - Non-probationary Officers may utilize
120 hours of AWS to take time off during any calendar quarter
with no restriction on how many hours of AWS they can work
during any calendar quarter. Non-probationary Officers needing to
utilize more than 120 hours of AWS to take time off during a
calendar quarter may do so with district commander approval.
AWS with Compensation - When one member substitutes for
another, the member being substituted for will be credited as if he
or she had worked his or her normal schedule for that shift. lf the
substituting member wishes to be compensated for the substitute
shift worked at the base/straight time rate of pay, then the
member being substítuted for shall transfer the applicable number
(3)
(3)
Fresno Police Officers Association, Basic Unit
MOU 9/1 1t14 - 6t30t17
Page 46
of holiday leave, vacation or CTO hours to the substituting
member's "like" account. (Note: The member being substituted for
may only select one account from which to take hours for transfer,
and those hours shall only be transferred to the volunteer
substitute's "like" account. lf the substituting member's selected
account is at the maximum allowable balance, the substituting
member shall be compensated at the base/straight time rate of
pay from the transferred hours. An internal processing form has
been established to accomplish this transfer.)
(4) AWS Notification to Deoaftment - Members wishing to provide a
substitute must notify the department at least 24-hours in advance
of the substitution on a form provided for that purpose. The
substitute must be satisfactory to the department. lf the substitute
is determined to not be a satisfactory substitute, the commanding
Officer shall provide the reason(s) in writing within a reasonable
amount of time.

7.14.02 Special Units - Flexinq of Hours:
Sergeants, Specialists or Officers in non-patrol matrix assignments may
be assigned flexible hours of work to meet the needs of the department.
The Police Chief or designee may adjust hours of work under the
following conditions, without payment at the overtime rate:
(1) with the concurrence of the Sergeant, Specialist or Officer; or,
(2) in the event of emergency, which is defined as circumstances
beyond the control of the City and not having been known forty-
eight (48) hours in advance of the circumstance creating the
emergency; or,
(3) with forty-eight (a8) hours notice to the Sergeant, Specialist or
Otficer. Adjustments pursuant to this subsection may last no
longer than seven (7) consecutive calendar days, nor occur more
than once during any thirty (30) day period; or,
(4) where the adjustment has been made to cover a special event
and the special event is canceled with less than forty-eight (48)
hours notice to the department, and the department then promptly
cancels the adjustment and returns the Specialist or Officer to the
regular schedule.
Overtime worked past the scheduled end of a shift shall not be
considered as a shift adjustment. An adjustment of hours prior to the
shift shall be considered as an adjustment,
Fresno Police Officers Association, Basic Unit
MOU 9/11114 - 6130117
Page 49
Officers assigned to special units receiving "Flexible Hours" premium
pay are excluded from the forty-eight (48) hour notice requirement.
However, when practical, they will be given as much advance notice as
possible when hours are to be flexed. Flexing of these Officers is also
not limited to seven (7) days in duration, nor as to frequency. However,
when such adjustments exceed thirty (30) days, the Association shall be
provided with a plan for a return to regular schedules.
The current practice of temporary weekend duty will cease. This does
not prohibit the department from flexing Officers under other provisions
of the MOU.

the specified hours requires the approval of a supervisor. lf work
conditions do not allow an Officer to take an unpaid meal period,
the Officer will be compensated at a rate of one and one-half
times the base rate of pay for the meal period missed, No more
than one-half of the Officers working a given district may take

(4)
(5)
(1)The City will install kennels at the home of the Officers assigned
canines, pay for veterinary care, food, and miscellaneous
supplies. Officers assigned canines will be allowed to drive their
assigned City vehicle to their place of residence. Except as
provided in Section 7.9, Canine Officers who reside farther than
fifteen (15) miles from the City limits must leave their assigned
vehicles at an approved City facility, and provide approved secure
transportation for the canine from that point to their residences.
Unless inconsistent with this section, Administrative Order 8-8
shall apply with reference to the purpose and benefit of City take-
home vehicles.
Canine Officers will not be permitted to voluntarily transfer to
other assignments during the service life of the Officer's canine.
Canine Officers are not precluded from competing for promotional
positions.
The canine and the kennel installed by the City at the Officers'
home are the property of the City. ln the event an Officer is no
longer assigned to the canine unit, the City reserves the right to
maintain ownership of the canine or return the canine to the
original vendor or other designated party, as determined by the
Chief of Police or designee.
Canine Officers are subject to flexible hours of work as described
in Section 7.14.02. The base work schedule for Officers assigned
to the Canine Unit will consist of a work week of five (5) ten-hour
days followed by a work week of three (3) ten hour days, with a
total of six (6) days off during the two work weeks, to include at
(2)
(3)
Fresno Police Officers Association, Basic Unit
MOU 9/11114 - 6130117
Page 52
least one weekend. This schedule may be cancelled by the City
following thirty (30) days notice to the FPOA, at which time
Canine Officers would revert to the 4/10 weekly work schedule set
forth in Section 7.13.01(1).
Police Management reserves the right to determine the allocation
of K-9 positions by shift, district and days off to ensure the optimal
coverage of such units in the field. Bidding for allocated positions
will be done within the Canine Unit, by depaftment seniority, date
of hire as a Police Officer. Canine Unit schedules will be
established annually to coincide with the patrol matrix, but will not
be included in the patrol matrix. Canine units will not be counted
to satisfy Watch lll minimum staffing requirements on a daily
basis other than as may be required to meet those minimum
staffing levels established at the beginning of the matrix period.
Compensation paid pursuant to Section 7.14.04 is overtime, and
is therefore not considered as compensation under the first or
second tier of the City's Fire and Police Retirement System.
Time spent by the Officers for home care of the canine is
considered hours worked pursuant to the Fair Labor Standards
Act. The canine Officer will be compensated for one (1) hour each
day in the care of the canine. Officers may spend more than one
(1) hour a day with the canine, but any time over one (1) hour a
day shall be considered as normal owner-related activities for the
enjoyment of the individual and the canine. Officers that spend
more than one (1) hour a day with the canine, and believe that
this time is hours worked shall turn in a time sheet no later than
the next working day, after the time spent with the canine, to the
canine superuisor.
Compensation under Section 7.14.04 is not for the performance
of Police Officer duties and, therefore, compensation for the home
care of the canine will be calculated at one-half the applicable
overtime rate of pay for "4" step of the Recruit class.

7.18 SENIORITY***
7.18.01 Definitions: Seniority within rank and class shall begin upon the date on
which an Officer receives a permanent appointment to a position in the

but seniority in the higher rank wíll not accrue during the term of the
demotion. A temporary demotion is defined as a demotion wherein the
Fresno Police Officers Association, Basic Unit
MOU 9/1 1114 - 6130117
Page 59
employee may be reappointed to the higher rank without a competitive
process. The seniority of Police Officer/Police Officer Recruit who is
hired on the same date shall be as follows:
(1) Placement on a promulgated eligible list by score will be the order
of seniority.
(2) ln cases where Officers/Recruits are hired from Entry Level Lists
promulgated on different dates, those hired from the list
promulgated first shall have seniority.
(3) Seniority for Police Cadet shall begin on the date they are sworn-
in as Police Officer Recruit.
(4) When hired on the same day from a Lateral Police Officer List and
Entry Level Police Officer List, the Lateral Police Officer will have
seniority.
(5) When two (2) or more Officers have the same date of hire and no
Police Officer promulgated list exists to determine seniority, the
most senior will be determined by the Officer's permanent full-
time date of hire as a City employee, and if not applicable,
seniority will be determined by lottery. The results of the lottery
shall be used to determíne present and future seniority.
7.18.02 Vacation Selection: Vacation selection by division, section, district or
shift, as determined by the department, shall be based upon, and
determined by, seniority within the class.
7.18.03 ShifUDetail Assiqnments: The primary consideration in making shift or
detail assignments shall be the needs of the department subject to the
seniority provisions below.
(1) Patrol Matrix Assiqnments: Except as othenrvise provided below
and in Section 7.13.02 (Matrix Schedules), patrol matrix
assignments shall be filled by seniority. Seniority for all work
assignments subject to bid in the patrol matrix by Police
Officer/Police Specialists shall be by date of hire as a Police
Officer or, ín the case of a Sergeant, the date of promotion. Any
subsequent changes in patrol matrix assignments shall be
accomplished as vacancies occur and not by "bumping" or
changing of previously existing assignments.
Exception: An Officer or Sergeant reassigned to the patrol matrix
by the department without the consent of the Officer or Sergeant
Fresno Police Officers Association, Basic Unit
MOU 9/11114 - 6130t17
Page 60
shall be assigned to a shift according to his or her seniority in that
class.
(2) :
ln the event of a departmental reorganization, or a reduction of
personnel due to budget restrictions, which reorganization or
personnel reduction causes the movement of special units, the
movement shall be accomplished as follows:
lf there are no volunteers to move, the "last in first out" rule shall
apply within any affected unit. For purposes of this section, a
"unit" will generally be defined as a specialized work group under
the control of a superuisor. ln the case of like work groups each
under the control of different superuisors, including but not limited
to * * * Tactical Units, Traffic and Narcotics, said units will be
considered as one unit for purposes of applying the "last in first
out" rule. Exhibit lll (attached) provides an explanation of the
intent and application of this section.
Subject to the special provisions listed below, personnel displaced
pursuant to these provisions may be offered placement in other
existing special unit vacant positions. Should no such vacancies
exist, or be offered, and the movement will result in a return of
personnel to patrol matrix duties, displaced personnel shall be
allowed to "bump" the Officer/SpecialisUSergeant most recently
assigned from patrol matrix duties to a special unit provided
there is a special unit vacancy, and assume that Officer/
SpecialisUSergeant's position. Ties in assignment date seniority
shall be broken by department seniority, with the least senior
being the one "bumped."
Exception: There shall be no bumping from the Canine, Skywatch
or Mounted Units or Motors assigned to the Traffic Bureau.
Premium Pav Positions: Whenever possible, personnel displaced
from premium pay positions shall be considered for placement in
other vacant premium pay positions.
Placement: The department is not obligated to offer all existing
vacancies to displaced personnel, but shall, whenever possible,
consider placements that will maintain shift and day off schedules
for the affected member.
Should the affected Officer/Sergeant accept an alternate
assignment pursuant to these provisions, and later request

MOU 9/1 1114 - 6t30t17
Page 61
reassignment to patrol, the Officer/Sergeant may not bump a less
senior Officer/Sergeant in patrol.

apply to any dispute for which there is another established resolution
procedure, including but not limited to, appeal to the Civil Service Board,
or Retirement Board. A grievance can be initiated by any grieved
employee or group of grieved employees, or by the Association on
behalf of a grieved employee or group of grieved employees. Grievances
Fresno Police Officers Association, Basic Unit
MOU 9/1 1114 - 6t30117
Page ô6
should be settled as near as possible to their source and in as informal a
setting as possible.
7 .26.02 lnformal Process
The grievant (this term includes the Association) must first attempt to
resolve the grievance on an informal basis through discussions with the
ímmediate supervisor without undue delay. The informal process must
be completed within twenty (20) calendar days after the occurrence of
the alleged incident giving rise to the grievance, or when the grievant
knew or should have reasonably become aware of the facts giving rise to
the grievance.
lf the grievance is not resolved at the immediate supervisor level, the
grievant may attempt to resolve the grievance on an informal basis
through discussions with the next levels of supervision, following the
chain of command up to the Deputy Chief of Police.
Every effort shall be made to find an acceptable solution to the grievance
through this informal process. Once the informal process has been
exhausted, the grievant may invoke the formal process.
7.26.03 Formal Process
A written grievance must set forth the specific rule, regulation, policy,
practice, or MOU provision claimed to have been violated, describe the
specific incident or circumstances of the alleged violation, and specify
the remedy sought.

The grievant or representative may file the formal grievance within
ten (10) calendar days from the last day of the informal process
through the grievant's immediate supervisor to the Chief of Police
or designee. The grievance shall summarize the results of the
informal process. lf the Association has not previously been
involved, a copy of the grievance shall be submitted to the
Association. The grievant or the Association may request to have
a meeting regarding the grievance with the Chief of Police or
designee in an attempt to resolve the concerns at this level. lf no
Fresno Police Officers Association, Basic Unit

Page 67
(2)
request for a meeting is made, and upon receipt of the written
grievance, the Chief of Police or designee shall give the grievant
a written reply within fourteen (14) calendar days.
Step Two - Request for Arbitration:
lf the grievant is not satisfied with the decision of the Police Chief
or designee, only the Association may within ten (10) calendar
days after receipt of the written reply, file a request for arbitration
utilizing the written grievance and submitting it to the Labor
Relations Manager. The Association shall be limited to two (2)
such requests for arbitration per fiscal year on a grievance that
involves a dispute concerning the interpretation or application of
an existing City policy, practice, written rule or regulation. There
shall be no limitation on requests for arbitration dealing with MOU
interpretation or application. Any request for arbitration that does
not meet the requirements of this subsection shall not be
processed, and such grievance concludes at Step One above.
Step Three -Arbitration and lmmediate Arbitration:
Within five (5) calendar days from the receipt of the arbitration
request, either party may request the State Mediation and
Conciliation Service to submit a list of five (5) neutrals. These
neutrals will be statewide experts in the field of labor relations.
Within five (5) calendar days upon receiving the list, the Labor
Relations Manager and the Association shall alternatively strike a
name from the list, and the last name remaining shall be
designated as the neutral arbitrator.

written decision and reasons for the opinion within thirty (30)
calendar days following the closing of the hearing, unless the
period has been mutually extended in writing by all parties, The
decision shall be sent to the City Labor Relations Manager and to

Page 68
The arbitrator's decision shall be final and binding, and may be
challenged only pursuant to the California Arbitration Act, C.C.P.
Sections 1280, et sequentes.
lmmediate Arbitration - Either party (City or the Association) may
waive the grievance procedure time limits specified in this
subsection (i.e.,7.26.04) and proceed to immediate arbitration in
any case where the party alleges that the other is threatening to
take an action in violation of the MOU in so short a period of time
as to disallow the party from proceeding within the time limits of
this subsection (i.e., 7.26.041. To put it another way, immediate
arbitration may be sought by either party where there is "no
adequate remedy at law," or where normally a party would be
entitled to seek injunctive relief. However, the method of
proceeding to immediate arbitration must be done consistent with
the following provisions.
The arbitration shall take place no earlier than the fifteenth (1sth)
day following the request by the grieving party for such
"immediate arbitration," unless othen¡rise mutually agreed. During
the two-week period (14 calendar days) immediately following the
request for immediate arbitration, the responding party shall have
the opportunity to attempt to resolve the dispute.
lf the City is the responding party, the Chief of Police and Director
of Personnel Services, or their designated representatives, jointly,
shall have the opportunity to meet with or othenruise communicate
with appropriate Association representatives, in an attempt to
resolve the díspute.
Once the request for immediate arbitration is filed, the parties
shall (even though dispute resolution díscussions are going on
during the two-week period) attempt to agree upon a neutral
arbitrator and to obtain a date for arbitration hearing as soon as
possible immediately following the two-week period.
The parties will atternpt to have a standing líst of available
"immediate arbitrators," but if no agreement on same is reached,
the parties will obtain five arbitrators, by telephone, if possible,
from the State Mediation and Conciliation Service. The first
arbitrator available to hear the matter following the two-week
period shall be selected as arbitrator. The order of contacting the
potential arbitrators shall be determined by lot unless mutually
agreed to othen¡vise. The parties are free to mutually agree upon
an immediate arbitrator through any other process or agreement.
Fresno Police Officers Association, Basic Unit
MOU 9/11114 - 6t30t17
Page 69
(4)
ln any case, the arbitrator selected to decide the grievance shall
have the full and equitable power to frame a decision, including
an order to the party initiating the grievance to abide by the time
limits provided in the grievance procedure, or a restra¡ning order
against the party threateníng the action, or any other form of
arbitration order that would resolve the matter in an equitable and
just manner. However, the arbitrator may not add to, subtract
from, change or modify any provision of this MOU and shall be
authorized only to apply existing provisions of this MOU to the
specific facts involved and to interpret only applicable provisions
of this MOU.
Unless the parties agree otherwise, closing argument shall be
presented orally and there shall be a "bench" decision.
The parties shall attempt to have the arbitration proceedings
completed as quickly as possible, including by meeting nights and
weekends, if at all feasible.
Genera I Arbitration/l mmed iate Arbitration Provision s:
An arbitrator shall have, in the arbitrator's discretion, the ability to
hear evidence on both arbitrability and on the merits at the sarne
hearing, holding for a later ruling on the issue of arbitrability.
Time limits set forth in the formal process may be modified by
mutual agreement of the grievant or representative and the
department or City. Failure of the grievant to file an appeal within
the specified time limit for any but the first step of the procedure
shall constitute an abandonment of the grievance.
The cost of making a stenographic record of the arbitration
hearing shall be borne by the party requesting such records.
There shall be no post-hearing briefs, except by mutual
agreement.
The fees and expenses of the arbitrator shall be paid half by the
City and half by the grievant; however, the arbitrator may order
that the City or the grievant pay the total of such fees and
expenses should the arbitrator find that, but for the
unreasonableness of a party's posture, the convening for
arbitration would not have been necessary.
Witnesses who are employees and on duty at the time of the
scheduled appearance shall be released from duty without loss of

INÏERPRETATION OF ISSUES REGARDING
MOU SECTTON 7 .14.03 (5) AND SECTTON 7.15.03 (2)
The parties agree to the following intent and application of MOU Section 7.14.03 Traffic
Bureau, and Mou section 7.18.03 shift Detail/Assignments, as follows.
7.14.03 Traffic Bureau
(5) Reductions/Reorqanization:
ln the event of reductions of personnel from the Traffic Bureau,
the TEU and NTU will be considered as one unit for purposes of
applying the "last in first out" rule,
7.18.03 ShifUDetailAssignments
(2) : ln
the event of a departmental reorganization, or a reduction of personnel
due to budget restrictions, which reorganization or personnel reduction
causes the movement of special units, the movement shall be
accomplished as follows:
lf there are no volunteers to move, the "last in first out" rule shall apply
within any affected unit. For purposes of this section, a "unit" will
generally be defined as a specialized work group under the control of a
supervisor. ln the case of like work groups each under the control of
different supervísors, including but not limited Tactical Units, Traffie
and Narcotics, said units will be considered as one unit for purposes of
applying the "last in first out" rule.
Subject to the special provisions listed below, personnel displaced
pursuant to these provisions may be offered placement in other
existing special unit vacant positÍons. Should no such vacancies exist,
or be offered, and the movement will result in a return of personnel to
patrol matrix duties, displaced personnel shall be allowed to "bump"
the Officer/ SpecialisUsergeant most recently assigned from patrol
matrix duties to a special unit provided there is a special unit
vacancy, and assu me that OfficeriSpeci al isUsergeant's position. Ties
in assignment date seniority shall be broken by department seniority,
with the least senior being the one "bumped."
Exceotion: There shall be no bumping from the Canine, Skywatch or
Mounted Units.
Exhibit lll
lnterpretation of 7.14.03 (5) and 7.18.03 (2)
Page 2of 3
lssue #1: Determination of movement of an Officer/SpecialisUsergeant most recently
assigned from Patrol Matrix duties to a special Unit.
lntenUApplication: The intent of the phrase "most recently assigned from Patrol Matrix
duties designed to determine "Special Unit Seniority, "is to consider the total time the
Officer/SpecialisUSergeant has been out of the Patrol Matrix, based on the date the
Officer/SpecialisUSergeant first assumed a non-patrol assignment. Subsequent
assignments from one Special Unit to another have no bearing on Special Unit
"seniority."
lssue #2: No bumping of Officers/Specialists/Sergeants who are offered an existing
vacancy.
lntenUApplication: The intent was never to subject an Officer/SpecialisUsergeant who
was being reorganized to the jeopardy of being bumped as well.
lssue #3: Determination of first Officer/SpecíalisVsergeant to bump another
Off ice r/S peci a I isVSergea nt.
lntenUApplication: The Officer/Specialist/Sergeant who has been out of a Patrol Matrix
assignment the longest gets to pick first. Ties are broken by using department seniority.
Since the intent is to ensure the Officer/SpecialisUsergeant who has been out of a
Patrol Matrix assignment the longest has the best opportunity to stay in a special
assignment, he/she gets first chance to bump.
lssue #4: Bumping order.
lntenUApplication: They must start with the most recently assigned Officer/
SpecialisUSergeant from a Patrol Matrix assignment. lf no Officer/Specialislsergeant
eligible to do so selects the most recently assigned Officer/SpecialistiSergeant from a
Patrol Matrix Assignment, then the bumping is done. However, ¡f an Officer/
SpecialisVSergeant does decide to "bump" the Officer/SpecialisVsergeant holding this
position, the next most recently assigned Officer/SpecialisVsergeant from a Patrol
Matrix assignment can be bumped by the next eligible Officer/SpecialisUsergeant. This
process continues until each Officer/SpecialisUSergeant being reorganized has declined
the opportunity to bump the most recently assigned Officer/SpecialisUsergeant from a
Patrol Matrix assignment or until all Officers/Specialists/Sergeants most recently
assigned from a Patrol Matrix assignment have been bumped.
lssue #5: Subsequent Bumping
lntenUApplication: lt was never intended to allow bumped Officers/
Specialists/Sergeants to, in turn, bump other Officers/Specialists/Sergeants.
Officers/Specialists/Sergeants who are bumped did not have their positions elirninated
Exhibit lll
lnterpretation of 7.14.03 (5) and 7.18.03 (2)
Page 3 of 3
due to department reorganization. Their positions still exist, they were just bumped out
of it.
lssue #6: Determination of bumping if the first eligible Officer/SpecialisUSergeant
declines to bump an OfficeriSpecialist/Sergeant from the Patrol Matrix assignment and
the second eligible bumps an Officer/SpecialisUSergeant from the Patrol Matrix
assignment.
IntenUApplication: Officers/Specialists/Sergeants participating in the bumping continue
down the list of eligible Officers/Specialists/Sergeants, rather than starting from the top
of the list each time. This eliminates the Officer/SpecialisVSergeant who picked first
from having several opportunities to bump the most recently assigned
Officer/SpecialisUSergeant from a Patrol Matrix assignment before the other
Officers/Specialists/Sergeants can have an opportunity to bump.

as to ensure balance of probationary employees between policing
districts and shifts. Subject to the aforementioned considerations,

7.13.05 Non-Minimum Staffinq - Flexinq of Hours:
To accommodate the personal needs of members and to create the best
working environment, given the context of a police department whose
primary goal is service to the community, members assigned to non-
minimum staffing units may request and be assigned flexible hours of
work. The member's Supervisor may adjust hours of work under the
following conditions:
(1)The operational needs of non-minimum staff unit shall be the
primary concern for a Supervisor when determining a request for
flexing of hours.
A Supervisor may grant a member's request to flex hours up to
one (1) hour before or after the standard shift hours beginning at
0700 and ending at1730.
The occasional granting of a flex schedule pursuant to this
subsection will be only for specific qualified purposes as
determined by a Supervisor. Examples of a specific qualified
request by a member may include attending his or her child's
baseball game, a doctor's appointment, meeting someone who is
arriving at the airport, or some other qualified event.
Granting a long-term flex schedule shall require concurrence of
the Bureau Commander. Examples of the need for a long{erm
flex schedule may include home nurse care for a spouse and the
need to relieve the care giver, circumstances involving a "special
needs" child, continuing education, or some other qualified event.
A Supervisor may require the members to decide amongst
themselves who is to be granted a flex schedule. The decision by
the members shall be by mutual agreement. lf the members are
unable or unwilling to make such decision, the Supervisor shall
have the discretion to make whatever decision he or she deems
appropriate.
With the concurrence of the Bureau Commander and in lieu of
granting a flex schedule, a Supervisor may offer to a member the
option of a fixed 5/8 schedule with the hours of 0730 to 1600, for
a minimum of thirty (30) days.
ln order to meet departmental operational and service needs, a
Superuisor may terminate, at any time, a member's flexed
schedule upon thirty (30) days written notice to the affected

member. The decision to discontinue a flex hour schedule is not
appealable or grievable.
7.1 3.06 Staff Wizard/Corona Solutions:
The department may utilize Staff Wizard/Corona Solutions in the
deployment of patrol personnel (polícing districts). Deployment is
inclusive of the number and scheduling of shifts, the number and
configuration of policing districts, members assigned to each shift, and
the day off configuration and/or rotation of days off. Data used to
develop Staff Wizard/Corona Solutions recommendations at the
beginning of each rnatrix period, and the resulting district and shift
minimum staffing levels will be based on the number of personnel
assigned to the patrol matrix who are not expected to be on injury or
other absence status longer than thirty (30) days into the matrix period.
Staff Wizard/Corona Solutions recommendations can be implemented
up to a maximum of two (2) times in a fiscal year provided that all
affected members receive the change that will occur at sign-ups. No shift
shall start before 0600. Although Staff Wizard/Corona SolutÍons may
recommend SummerMinter base shift hours, management reserves the
right at any time to adjust those hours with five (5) calendar days
advance notice based on operational/service needs.
The department reserves the right to determine initial minimum staffing
levels in patrol, by shift and district, at the beginning of the matrix period.
During the course of the matrix period, the department may review and
increase minimum staffing levels. The department may subsequently
reduce the increases, but, except as may be required by budget
reductions resulting in actual personnel reductions, may not go below
levels initially set for each shift and district at the beginning of the matrix
period. Such changes in minimum staffing levels may not occur more
often than monthly, and may not cause a cancellation of previously
approved time off, or previously approved on-duty training time.
The Association will designate a representative who will participate in the
process of determining annual Staff Wizard/Corona Solutions
recommendations.
7.13.07 Absent with Substitute (AWS):
(1) AWS with Trade - ln accordance with Section Z (pX3) of the Fair
Labor Standards Act (FLSA) as discussed in 29 CFR 553.31, the

excluded by the City in the calculation of the hours for which the
substitute member would otherwise be entitled to overtime
compensation under the FLSA and under Section 7.3. When one
member substitutes for another, the member being substituted for
will be credited as if he or she had worked his or her normal
schedule for that shift.
(2) Probationarv Officers - Officers on probation may utilize 40 hours
of AWS to take time off during any calendar quarter with no
restriction on how many hours of AWS they can work during any
calendar quarter. Probationary Officers needing to utilize more
than 40 hours of AWS to take time off during a calendar quarter
may do so with district commander approval.
(3) Non-Probationarv Officers - Non-probationary Officers may utilize
120 hours of AWS to take time off during any calendar quarter
with no restriction on how many hours of AWS they can work
during any calendar quarter. Non-probationary Officers needíng to
utilize more than 120 hours of AWS to take time off during a
calendar quarter rnay do so with district commander approval,
(3) AWS with Compensation - When one member substitutes for
another, the member being substituted for will be credited as if he
or she had worked his or her normal schedule for that shift. lf the
substituting member wishes to be compensated for the substitute
shift worked at the baseistraight time rate of pay, then the
member being substituted for shall transfer the applicable number
of holiday leave, vacation or CTO hours to the substituting
member's "like" account. (Note: The member belng substituted for
may only select one account from which to take hours for transfer,
and those hours shall only be transferred to the volunteer
substitute's "like" account. lf the substituting member's selected
account is at the maximum allowable balance, the substituting
member shall be compensated at the baseistraight time rate of
pay from the transferred hours. An internal processing form has
been established to accomplish this transfer.)
(4) AWS Notification to Department - Mernbers wishing to provide a
substitute must notify the department at least 24-hours in advance
of the substitution on a form provided for that purpose. The
substitute must be satisfactory to the department. lf the substitute

vehicles at an approved City facility, and provide approved secure
transportation for the canine from that point to their residences.
Unless inconsistent with this section, Administrative Order 8-8
shall apply with reference to the purpose and benefit of City take-
home vehicles.
Canine Officers will not be permitted to voluntarily transfer to
other assignments during the service life of the Officer's canine.
Canine Officers are not precluded from competing for promotional
positions.
The canine and the kennel installed by the City at the Officers'
home are the propefty of the City. ln the event an Officer is no
longer assigned to the canine unit, the City reserves the right to
maintain ownership of the canine or return the canine to the
original vendor or other designated party, as determined by the
Chief of Police or designee.
Canine Officers are subject to flexible hours of work as described
in Section 7.14.02. The base work schedule for Officers assigned
to the Canine Unit will consist of a work week of five (5) ten-hour
days followed by a work week of three (3) ten hour days, with a
total of six (6) days off during the two work weeks, to include at
least one weekend. This schedule may be cancelled by the City
following thirty (30) days notice to the FPOA, at which time
Canine Officers would revert to the 4/10 weekly work schedule set
forth in Section 7.13.01(1 ).
Police Management reserves the right to determine the allocation
of K-9 positions by shift, district and days off to ensure the optimal
coverage of such units in the field. Bidding for allocated positions
will be done within the Canine Unit, by department seniority, date
of hire as a Police Officer. Canine Unit schedules will be
established annually to coincide with the patrol matrix, but will not
be included in the patrol matrix. Canine units will not be counted
to satisfy Watch lll minimum staffing requirements on a daily
basis other than as may be requìred to meet those minimum
staffing levels established at the beginning of the matrix period.
Compensation paid pursuant to Section 7.14.04 is overtime, and
is therefore not considered as compensation under the first or
second tier of the City's Fire and Police Retirement System.
Time spent by the Officers for home care of the canine is
considered hours worked pursuant to the Fair Labor Standards
Fresno Police Officers Association, Basic Unit
MOU 9/1 1114 - 6130117 (Redlined Version)
Page 58
Act. The canine Officer will be compensated for one (1) hour each
day in the care of the canine. Officers may spend more than one
(1) hour a day with the canine, but any time over one (1) hour a
day shall be considered as normal owner-related activities for the
enjoyment of the individual and the canine. Officers that spend
more than one (1) hour a day with the canine, and believe that
this time is hours worked shall turn in a time sheet no later than
the next working day, after the time spent with the canine, to the
canine supervisor.
Compensation under Section 7.14.04 is not for the pedormance
of Police Officer duties and, therefore, compensation for the home
care of the caníne will be calculated at one-half the applicable
overtime rate of pay for "A" step of the Recruit class.

demotion. A temporary demotion is defined as a demotion wherein the
employee may be reappointed to the higher rank without a competitive
process. The seniority of Police Officer/Police Officer Recruit who is
hired on the same date shall be as follows:
Placement on a promulgated eligible list by score will be the order
of seniority.
ln cases where Officers/Recruits are hired from Entry Level Lists
promulgated on different dates, those hired from the list
promulgated first shall have seniority.
Seniority for Police Cadet shall begin on the date they are sworn-
in as Police Officer Recruit.
When hired on the same day from a Lateral Police Officer List and
Entry Level Police Officer List, the Lateral Police Otficer will have
seniority.
When two (2) or more Officers have the same date of hire and no
Police Officer promulgated list exists to determine seniority, the
most senior will be determined by the Officefs permanent full-
time date of hire as a City employee, and if not applicable,
seniority will be determined by lottery. The results of the lottery
shall be used to determine present and future seniority.
7.18,02 Vacation Selection: Vacation selection by division, section, district or

Exceotion: An Officer or Sergeant reassigned to the patrol matrix
by the department without the consent of the Officer or Sergeant
shall be assigned to a shift according to his or her seniority in that
class.
l
ln the event of a departmental reorganization, or a reduction of
personnel due to budget restrictions, which reorganization or
personnel reduction causes the movement of special units, the
movement shall be accomplished as follows:
lf there are no volunteers to move, the "last in fírst out" rule shall
apply within any affected unit. For purposes of this section, a
"unit" will generally be defined as a specialized work group under
the control of a supervisor. ln the case of like work groups each
under the control of different supervisors, including but not limited
to D€SF Tactical Units, Traffic and Narcotics, said units will be
considered as one unit for purposes of applying the "last in first
out" rule. Exhibit lll (attached) provides an explanation of the
intent and application of this section.
Subject to the special provisions listed below, personnel displaced
pursuant to these provisions may be offered placement in other
existing special unit vacant positions. Should no such vacancies
exist, or be offered, and the movement will result in a return of
personnel to patrol matrix duties, displaced personnel shall be
allowed to "bump" the Officer/SpecialisUSergeant most recently
assigned from patrol matrix duties to a special unit provided
there is a special unit vacancy, and assume that Officer/
SpecialisUSergeant's position. Ties in assignment date seniority
shall be broken by department seniority, with the least senior
being the one "bumped."
Exception: There shall be no bumping from the Canine, Skywatch
or Mounted Units or Motors assigned to the Traffic Bureau.
Premium Pav Positions: Whenever possible, personnel displaced
from premium pay positions shall be considered for placement in
other vacant premium pay positions.
Placement: The department is not obligated to offer all existing
vacancies to displaced personnel, but shall, whenever possible,
consider placements that will maintain shift and day off schedules
for the affected member.

Should the affected Officer/Sergeant accept an alternate
assignment pursuant to these provisions, and later request
reassignment to patrol, the Officer/Sergeant may not bump a less
senior Officer/Sergeant in patrol.
7.19 FEDERAL DRUG POLICY (Federal Omnibus Transportation Employee
Testing Act - "ACT")
Policv:
7.19.01 The City maintains two separate policies to distinguish those procedures
required by the Federal Transit Administration and the Federal Motor
Carrier Safety AdministratÍon, entitled :
"Controlled Substances and Alcohol Testing Regulations, Fresno
Area Express", adopted by the City Council on March 14,2006,
which may be amended from time to time, after compliance with
applicable collective bargaining laws.
"Controlled Substances and Alcohol Testing Regulatíons, Federal
Motor Carrier Safety Administration", which may be amended
from time to time after compliance with applicable collective
bargaining laws.
7.19.02 The parties agree that each policy sufficiently summarizes the current
federal regulations required by the ACT. Both policies will be distributed
to every affected member of the Fresno Police Officers Association Non-
Supervisory Police Unit upon implernentation or amendment of the
policies, and at the time of training and orientation.
7.19.03 The parties acknowledge that there currently exists a list of positions
subject to the provisions of the two policies: "(a) Controlled Substances
and Alcohol Testing Regulations, Fresno Area Express, (b) Controlled
Substances and Alcohol Testing Regulations, Federal Motor Carrier
Safety Administration", and should these positions be changed or
modified, the parties agree to establish a new list of positions which are
subject to these two policies pursuant to the ACT and the Department of
Transportation. As personnel changes within these positions, the parties
agree that the Department will give notice to the Association and the
Risk Management Division of such changes.
7.19.04 The Risk/Safety Manager will be responsible for receiving all information
related to the implementation of this policy and directing the applicable
disciplinary action in coordination with the Labor Relations Manager.

7.26 GRIEVANCES
7.27-91
7.26.01 Grievance Procedure
A grievance is a dispute concerning the interpretation or application of
any existing City policy, practice, written rule or regulation governing
personnel practices or working conditions, including this MOU. The
grievance procedure relates only to existing rights or duties, not to the
establishment or abolition of a right or duty. This procedure shall not
apply to any dispute for which there is another established resolution
procedure, including but not limited to, appealto the Civil Service Board,
or Retirement Board. A grievance can be initiated by any grieved
employee or group of grieved employees, or by the Association on
behalf of a grieved employee or group of grieved employees. Grievances
should be settled as near as possible to their source and in as informal a
setting as possible.
7,27-92
7 .26.02 I nformal Process
The grievant (this term includes the Association) must first attempt to
resolve the grievance on an informal basis through discussions with the
immediate supervisor without undue delay. The ínformal process must
be completed within twenty (20) calendar days after the occurrence of
the alleged incident giving rise to the grievance, or when the grievant
knew or should have reasonably become aware of the facts giving rise to
the grievance.
lf the grievance is not resolved at the immediate supervisor level, the
grievant may attempt to resolve the grievance on an informal basis
through discussions with the next levels of supervision, following the
chain of command up to the Deputy Chief of Police.
Every effort shall be made to find an acceptable solution to the grievance
through this informal process. Once the informal process has been
exhausted, the grievant may invoke the formal process.
7,27,99
7.26.03 Formal Process
A written grievance must set forth the specific rule, regulation, policy,
practice, or MOU provision claimed to have been violated, describe the
Fresno Police Officers Association, Basic Unit
MOU 9/1 1114 - 6130117 (Redlined Version)
Page 77
specific incident or circumstances of the alleged violation, and specify
the remedy sought.
7 27,94
7.26.04 Formal Filinq Procedure
The procedure and sequence in filing and processing a grievance shall
be as follows:
(1) Step One - Filinq the Grievance:
The grievant or representative may file the formal grievance within
ten (10) calendar days from the last day of the informal process
through the grievant's irnmediate supervisor to the Chief of Police
or designee. The grievance shall summarize the results of the
informal process. lf the Association has not previously been
involved, a copy of the grievance shall be submitted to the
Association. The grievant or the Association may request to have
a meeting regarding the grievance with the Chief of Police or
designee in an attempt to resolve the concerns at this level. lf no
request for a meeting is made, and upon receipt of the written
grievance, the Chief of Police or designee shall give the grievant
a written reply within fourteen (14) calendar days.
(2) Step Two - Request for Arbitration:
lf the grievant is not satisfied with the decision of the Police Chief
or designee, only the Association may within ten (10) calendar
days after receipt of the written reply, file a request for arbitration
utilizing the written grievance and submitting it to the Labor
Relations Manager. The Association shall be limited to two (2)
such requests for arbitration per fiscal year on a grievance that
involves a dispute concerning the interpretation or application of
an existing City policy, practice, written rule or regulation. There
shall be no limitation on requests for arbitration dealing with MOU
interpretation or application. Any request for arbitration that does
not meet the requirements of this subsection shall not be
processed, and such grievance concludes at Step One above.
(3) Step Three -Arbitration and lmmediate Arbitration:
Within five (5) calendar days from the receipt of the arbitration
request, either party may request the State Mediation and
Conciliation Service to submit a list of five (5) neutrals. These
neutrals will be statewide experts in the field of labor relations.
Fresno Police Officers Association, Basic Unit
MOU 9/11114 - 6130117 (Redlined Version)
Page 78
Within five (5) calendar days upon receiving the list, the Labor
Relations Manager and the Association shall alternatively strike a
name from the list, and the last name remaining shall be
designated as the neutral arbitrator.
The arbitrator selected shall submit the earliest date(s) in which
the arbitrator can hold the hearing, of which the Association and
the Labor Relations Manager can mutually select a date.
The arbÍtrator shall hold a hearing on the issue or issues
submitted, or as determined by the arbitrator if the parties have
not mutually agreed upon the issue, or issues, and render a
written decision and reasons for the opinion within thirty (30)
calendar days following the closing of the hearing, unless the
period has been mutually extended in writing by all parties. The
decision shall be sent to the City Labor Relations Manager and to
the Association.
The arbitratofs decision shall be final and binding, and may be
challenged only pursuant to the California Arbitration Act, C.C.P.
Sections 1280, et sequentes.
lmmediate Arbitration - Either party (City or the Association) may
waive the grievance procedure time limits specified in this
subsection (i.e.,7.26.04) and proceed to immediate arbitration in
any case where the party alleges that the other is threatening to
take an action in violation of the MOU in so short a period of time
as to disallow the party from proceeding within the time limits of
this subsection (i.e., 7.26.04). To put it another way, immediate
arbitration may be sought by either party where there is "no
adequate remedy at law," or where normally a party would be
entitled to seek injunctive relief. However, the method of
proceeding to immediate arbitration must be done consistent with
the following provisions.
The arbitration shall take place no earlíer than the fifteenth (15th)
day following the request by the grieving party for such
"immediate arbitration," unless othen¡vise mutually agreed. During
the two-week period (14 calendar days) immediately following the
request for immediate arbitration, the responding party shall have
the opportunity to attempt to resolve the dispute.
lf the City is the responding party, the Chief of Police and Director
of Personnel Services, or their designated representatives, jointly,
shall have the opportunity to meet with or othenryise communicate
Fresno Police Officers Association, Basic Unit
MOU 9/1 1114 - 6130117 (Redlined Version)
Page 79
(4)
with appropriate Association representatives, in an attempt to
resolve the dispute.
Once the request for immediate arbitration is filed, the parties
shall (even though dispute resolution discussions are going on
during the two-week period) attempt to agree upon a neutral
arbitrator and to obtain a date for arbitration hearing as soon as
possible immediately following the two-week period.
The parties will attempt to have a standing list of available
"immediate arbitrators," but if no agreement on same is reached,
the parties will obtain five arbitrators, by telephone, if possible,
from the State Mediation and Conciliation Service. The first
arbitrator available to hear the matter following the two-week
period shall be selected as arbitrator. The order of contacting the
potential arbitrators shall be determined by lot unless mutually
agreed to othenruise. The parties are free to mutually agree upon
an immediate arbitrator through any other process or agreement.
ln any case, the arbitrator selected to decide the grievance shall
have the full and equitable power to frame a decision, including
an order to the party initiating the grievance to abide by the time
limits provided in the grievance procedure, or a restraining order
against the party threatening the action, or any other form of
arbitration order that would resolve the matter in an equitable and
just manner. However, the arbitrator may not add to, subtract
from, change or modify any provision of this MOU and shall be
authorized only to apply existing provisions of this MOU to the
specific facts involved and to interpret only applicable provisions
of this MOU.
Unless the parties agree othenruise,. closing argument shall be
presented orally and there shall be a "bench" decision.
The parties shall attempt to have the arbitration proceedings
completed as quickly as possible, including by meeting nights and
weekends, if at all feasible.
General Arbitration/lmmediate Arbitration Provisions:
An arbitrator shall have, in the arbitrator's discretíon, the ability to
hear evidence on both arbitrability and on the merits at the same
hearing, holding for a later ruling on the issue of arbitrability.
Fresno Police Officers Association, Basic Unit
MOU 9/1 1114 - 6130117 (Redlined Version)
Page 80
Time limits set forth in the formal process may be modified by
mutual agreement of the grievant or representative and the
department or City. Failure of the grievant to file an appeal within
the specified time limit for any but the first step of the procedure
shall constitute an abandonment of the grievance.
The cost of making a stenographic record of the arbitration
hearing shall be borne by the party requesting such records.
There shall be no post-hearing briefs, except by mutual
agreement.
The fees and expenses of the arbitrator shall be paid half by the
City and half by the grievant; however, the arbitrator may order
that the City or the grievant pay the total of such fees and
expenses should the arbitrator find that, but for the
unreasonableness of a party's posture, the convening for
arbitration would not have been necessary.
Witnesses who are employees and on duty at the time of the
scheduled appearance shall be released from duty without loss of
compensation for the time required to testify. No overtime
payments shall be made because of scheduled appearances.
lndividual grievants shall be released from duty without loss of
pay Íor the time of the arbitration hearing. A representative shall
be permitted to be present without loss of compensation on behalf
of the grievant.
Arrangements for release time for grievant's witnesses shall be
made with the Labor Relations Manager, who shall issue all
appearance notices no later than 24 hours in advance of the
scheduled hearing.
No employee shall be discriminated against, harassed, coerced,
or suffer any reprisal because of filing or processing of a
grievance or participating in a grievance procedure.

assignments shall be subject to all rules, orders, and procedures of the
Police Department.

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
September 11, 2014
FROM:COUNCILMEMBER LEE BRAND
Council District #6
SUBJECT
BILL (For introduction) - Adding Article 6 of Chapter 5 to the Fresno Municipal Code prohibiting
controlled substance use on City property.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve the attached ordinance adding Article 6 of Chapter 5 to the Fresno
Municipal Code, prohibiting the use of controlled substances on City property.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The attached ordinance amends the Fresno Municipal Code by prohibiting the use of controlled substances on City
property to protect the public health,safety,and welfare.Without this prohibition,use of controlled substances on City
property may occur without the City’s ability to control the negative effects to the health,safety,and welfare of the citizens
of the City.
BACKGROUND
This ordinance provides a way for the City to outlaw the unauthorized use of controlled substances on City property,
including City owned parks,buildings,and entertainment facilities.The Directors of PARCS and Development and
Planning are responsible for the administration and enforcement of this ordinance.
ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS
Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines,section 15061(b)(3),it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that this
ordinance may have a significant effect on the environment.This is because unauthorized use of controlled substances
is already prohibited by state and federal law. Therefore, it is not subject to CEQA.
LOCAL PREFERENCE
Local preference was not considered because this ordinance does not include a bid or award of a construction or
services contract.
FISCAL IMPACT

The fiscal impact will include the use of existing staff to enforce the ordinance,which would include staff from the Police
Department,PARCS Department,Code Enforcement,and the City Attorney's Office.These costs may be offset by any
civil penalties collected through administrative citations imposed to enforce the ordinance.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
Rezone Application No.R-14-007 was filed by Dirk Poeschel of Poeschel Land Development
Services,Inc.,on behalf of the Second Church of Christ,Scientist,and pertains to 1.58±acres of an
overall 2.96-acre site located on the northeast corner of West Shaw and North College Avenues.
Rezone Application No.R-14-007 proposes to amend the Official Zone Map to reclassify the
southernmost 1.58±acres of the subject property from the R-1 (Single Family Residential)zone
district to the C-P (Administrative and Professional Offices)zone district.The southernmost 1.58±
acre portion of the property is planned for office uses,and the requested rezone would be consistent
with the General Plan land use designation.The northern portion of the property is not part of this
rezone application.
Pursuant to Table 2 (Planned Land Use and Zone District Consistency Matrix)of the 2025 Fresno
General Plan and Section 12-403-B-1 (Zone District Consistency Table)of the FMC the proposed C-
P (Administrative and Professional Offices)zone district is consistent with the Commercial office
planned land use designation for the subject property.
The subject property is bounded on the north by low rise multifamily residential uses,to the west by
low rise multifamily and commercial office uses (Fresno County),to the south by commercial office
(Fresno County), and to the east by low rise multifamily and commercial office uses.
Land Use Plans and Policies
2025 Fresno General Plan
The following policy contained within the 2025 Fresno General Plan will be applied to any future land
use applications submitted for the site and will ensure that the future development will not be
detrimental to the surrounding community.
Policy C-12-a:Ensure all commercial land uses are developed and maintained in a manner
complimentary to and compatible with adjacent residential land uses,to minimize interface problems
with the surrounding environment and to be compatible with public facilities and services.
For over the last 25 years the existing property has been used for a church and related facilities.In
addition,the surrounding land uses are consistent with the current zoning and planned land use
designations.Approval of this rezone application will allow the property to become consistent with
the 2025 General Plan planned land use designation of office commercial.The applicant has not
indicated that there are any future expansion plans for the subject property.
Planning Commission
The Fresno City Planning Commission considered Rezone Application No. R-14-007, and related
City of Fresno Printed on 12/16/2022Page 3 of 5
powered by Legistar™
File #:ID#14-345 Agenda Date:9/11/2014 Agenda #:
environmental assessment at its regular meeting held on August 6, 2014. After a full and complete
hearing, the Planning Commission resolved, by a vote of 5-0-1, to recommend approval to the City
Council of Rezone Application No. R-14-007 and the related environmental assessment.
ENVIRONMENTAL FINDING
On July 12,2014,staff determined this project to be categorically exempt under Sections
15301/Class 1 and 15332/Class 32 of the State of California CEQA Guidelines.
Section 15301/Class 1 exempts the operation,repair,maintenance,permitting,leasing,licensing,or
minor alteration of existing public or private structures,facilities,mechanical equipment,or
topographical features involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond that existing at the time of
the lead agency’s determination.The proposed project will rezone the southernmost portion of the
property planned for commercial office uses to be consistent with the general plan land use
designation.The project does not propose an expansion of existing use.The site is completely
developed with structures,parking,sidewalks and extensive landscaping.The site is served by
community sewer,water and storm drain services.The applicant contemplates no physical change
to the site.
Section 15332/Class 32:The rezone application is consistent with the general,community,and
planned land use designation of Commercial Office and conforms to all applicable policies.The site
area is less than five acres,is completely surrounded by urban uses,and does not contain any
significant value as habitat for endangered,rare,or threatened species.The proposed project is
consistent with the exemption because the project is requesting authorization to rezone a 1.58 acre
portion of the 2.96 acre site to bring the site zoning into conformity with the adopted general plan.A
church and related facility are allowed as a by-right use in the C-P zone district.The subject site is
adequately served by all required utilities and public services.No adverse environmental impacts
would occur as a result of the proposed project.
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 considered because this rezone does not include a bid or award of a
construction or services contract.
FISCAL IMPACT
Affirmative action by the Council will result in timely deliverance of the review and processing of the
application as is reasonably expected by the applicant/customer.Prudent financial management is
demonstrated by the expeditious completion of this land use application inasmuch as the
applicant/customer has paid to the City a fee for the processing of this application and that fee is,in
turn, funding the respective operations of the Development and Resource Management Department.
