REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
October 30, 2014
FROM:MANUEL A. MOLLINEDO, Director
Parks, After School, Recreation and Community Services Department
BY:IRMA YEPEZ-PEREZ, Grant Writer
KAREN NORRIS, Administrative Manager
Parks, After School, Recreation and Community Services Department
SUBJECT
RESOLUTION - Authorizing the submittal of a grant application to the San Joaquin Valley Air
Pollution Control District and acceptance of Public Benefit Grant funds and execution of necessary
program documents
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council:
1)Adopt a resolution to submit a grant application of up to $100,000 to the San Joaquin Valley
Air Pollution Control District (SJVAPCD)Public Benefit Grant program for the purchase of new
alternative fuel vehicles;
2)Authorize the Director of Parks,After School,Recreation and Community Services (PARCS)
Department,or designated representative,as agent of the City of Fresno to execute and
submit all necessary documents to implement the grant,subject to prior approval as to form
by the City Attorney’s Office.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Parks,After School,Recreation and Community Services (PARCS)Department proposes to
submit an application to the SJVAPCD requesting up to $100,000 in Public Benefit Grant program
funds for the purchase of four (4)new electric vehicles,and two (2)Compressed Natural Gas (CNG)
alternative fueled vehicles.
BACKGROUND
The SJVAPCD is comprised of eight counties:San Joaquin,Stanislaus,Merced,Madera,Fresno,
City of Fresno Printed on 12/16/2022Page 1 of 2

File #:ID#14-410 Agenda Date:10/30/2014 Agenda #:1-A
The SJVAPCD is comprised of eight counties:San Joaquin,Stanislaus,Merced,Madera,Fresno,
Kings,Tulare,and Kern.The SJVAPCD is required by the U.S.Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA)to implement strategies that will result in emission reductions.SJVAPCD is committed to
improving the health and quality of life for all Valley residents through effective and cooperative air
quality programs including the Public Benefits Grant to assist with the purchase of alternative fuel
vehicles, infrastructure, and the development of advance transit and transportation systems.
PARCS proposes to submit a Public Benefit Grant application to purchase new alternative fueled
vehicles;four (4)electric utility vehicles,and two (2)CNG trucks.The Public Benefit Grant will
allow the City to purchase the alternative fuel vehicles with a grant of up to $20,000 per vehicle.
The four (4)electric vehicles (John Deer Gators and GEM/Polaris)will expand the park
maintenance fleet and will cost less than $20,000 each,thus there is no cost to the City.The two
(2)CNG vehicles will replace two gasoline powered vehicles (1999 Chevrolet crew cab and a 2003
Ford crew cab)that are over 15 years old and are on the list to be replaced due to mechanical
problems.The purchase price for the CNG vehicles is between $30,000 to $55,000 each
depending on the options for cab chassis and body.The grant will only cover up to $20,000 per
vehicle,thus the balance will need be paid with City funds.The purchase of the alternative fueled
vehicles will help to improve air quality,which is consistent with PARCS mission of providing a
healthier environment for Fresno residents.
ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS
By the definition in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)Guidelines Section 15378,the
applying for grant funds does not qualify as a “project” as defined by CEQA.
LOCAL PREFERENCE
Local preference was not considered because this resolution does not include a bid or award of a
construction or services contract.
FISCAL IMPACT
Any award to the City for this project will reduce or eliminate impact to the General Fund because the
vehicles were already targeted for replacement.There is no match requirement to qualify for the
grant,however only up to $20,000 per vehicle are allowed.The purchase price for the two (2)CNG
vehicles is more than $20,000 per vehicle thus General Funds will be used to pay the difference.

SUBJECT
***RESOLUTION - Granting authority to the Public Works Director or designee to sign routine right-
of-way agreements where the cost will not exceed $10,000 to acquire property that has been
previously approved and funded either through the adopted fiscal budget or by separate prior City

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the Council adopt the attached resolution granting authority to the Public Works
Director or designee to sign routine right-of-way agreements with property owners where the costs
will not exceed $10,000.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
From time to time in the course of City’s business,the Public Works Department has found it
necessary to enter into routine right-of-way agreements with property owners.The routine right-of-
way agreements are always associated with a project that has been previously approved and
funded either through the adopted fiscal budget or by some prior City Council action.The cost of

powered by Legistar™
File #:ID#14-464 Agenda Date:10/30/2014 Agenda #:1-B
these routine agreements will not exceed $10,000.
Authorizing the Public Works Director to enter into these types of agreements will expedite the
projects and improve overall staff efficiency.
BACKGROUND
Whenever the City has a budgeted project that includes the acquisition of land,a right-of-way
agreement is required.This required step will sometimes result in the need for a routine right-of-way
acquisition agreement with one or more property owners.A routine right-of-way acquisition is one
that does not exceed $10,000.Staff currently brings all acquisitions to Council for review,
consideration and approval.Acquisitions from less than $100 to in excess of $1,000,000 are either
put on the City Council agenda as a consent calendar item or general administration depending on
the value of the acquisition.
As stated above,the agreements are routine and will be more efficiently processed if authority is
given to the Public Works Director.This will save time and eliminate the need of having to bring each
and every agreement to the Council for consideration and approval.
The routine acquisition agreements that would fall under this resolution are (1)partial acquisition by
easement deed (2)fee simple full acquisitions by grant deed,and (3)compensation to the property
owner will not exceed $10,000.
All agreements shall be reviewed and approved as to form by the City Attorney’s Office prior to being
presented to the Public Works Director for signature.
ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS
This legislative action is not subject to CEQA.Individual acquisitions entered pursuant to this
Resolution may be subject to CEQA and/or assessed as part of a larger project.
LOCAL PREFERENCE
N/A
FISCAL IMPACT
Granting authority to the Public Works Director to enter into and sign routine right-of-way
agreements with property owners will not impact the General Fund.All projects requiring these
types of agreements will have to either have been funded through the Capital Improvement Budget
or funded by a prior City Council Action.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
City of Fresno Printed on 12/16/2022Page 1 of 3
powered by Legistar™
File #:ID#14-471 Agenda Date:10/30/2014 Agenda #:1-C
In order to eliminate maintenance costs and return land to the tax roll,it is proposed the City sell a
small abandoned well parcel to the adjacent property owners.The site contains approximately
1,500 square feet and is located on Wilson Avenue south of East Lansing Avenue near the Herndon
Canal.The parcel is too small for independent development and can only be utilized by the adjacent
property owners.Staff estimates the sale price at $100 which will be divided in half for a price of
$50 for the land to each of the adjacent property owners.The parcel will be sold “as is”to adjacent
owners Wilson Avenue Properties,LLC and Leif Haneborg,Trustee of The Mangen Trust created
March 11, 2003.
BACKGROUND
The City owns a number of abandoned water well parcels which are no longer in use or needed by
the City.This site was quitclaimed from County of Fresno Water Works Department to the City of
Fresno in the 1990’s.The City Water Division plans to dispose of these parcels,which are either too
small,irregularly shaped,or lack adequate access to be developed independently.Because of these
characteristics,the sites can only be utilized by adjacent property owners.The sales price of the
sites is established by analysis of the size,shape,location,frontage,access,use potential,potential
benefit added to the adjacent parcel,and subsequent negotiations with the prospective buyers.The
sale price for this site is in the range of prices the City has received for similar surplus well sites.
Wilson Avenue Properties,LLC and Leif Haneborg,Trustee of the Mangen Trust created March 11,
2003,the adjacent property owners,were contacted by the Real Estate Section of Public Works
Department to determine if they were interested in purchasing the parcel from the City of Fresno and
agreed to purchase their half of the well site.The documents signed by the property owner have
been approved as to form by the City Attorney’s Office.
ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS
Staff has performed a preliminary environmental assessment of this action and,pursuant to
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)Guidelines,section 15061(b)(3),has determined with
certainty that there is no possibility that this action may have a significant effect on the environment,
because it is merely a change of ownership.Therefore,this action does not constitute a project for
CEQA purposes.Furthermore,this is exempt pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15312 (Class
12 Categorical Exemption),regarding the sale of surplus government property,and none of the
exceptions to Categorical Exemptions set forth in CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 are applicable.
LOCAL PREFERENCE
Local preference was not considered because the City’s sale of property does not include a bid
or award of a construction or services contract.
FISCAL IMPACT
There will be no General Fund dollars required to sell this parcel.Each of the adjacent property
owners has deposited $50 with the City of Fresno to cover the recording fees to purchase the
parcel.

BY:SHARON SHAFFER, Deputy Chief
Police Department - Support & Special Services Division
SUBJECT
Authorize the Chief of Police to enter into an agreement with Fresno County to reimburse the City of
Fresno $176,996 for the cost of one full time Fresno Police Officer assigned to the Fresno County
Adult Compliance Team (ACT)
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the Chief of Police to enter into an agreement with
Fresno County to reimburse the City of Fresno $176,996 for the cost of one full time Fresno Police
Officer assigned to the ACT.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
One of the consequences of Assembly Bill 109,the Public Safety Realignment Act of 2011 (AB 109),
was the shifting of responsibility for supervising convicted criminals released from state prison
facilities to county probation departments.To accomplish this,funding was allocated from the State
of California to the 58 counties through the Community Corrections Partnership (CCP)Boards
established in each county.These Boards set policy and allocate funding for treatment and
supervision programs in each County relative to AB 109.
The Fresno County CCP established an ACT to ensure that convicted criminals released to county
supervision are closely supervised while out of custody.The City of Fresno has dedicated one full
time officer to the ACT Team.The CCP has agreed to reimburse the City of Fresno an amount not to
exceed $176,996 for FY 2014-2015.The contract,once approved by the City Council,would allow
the City of Fresno to receive reimbursement for the ACT Officer through Fresno County who
administers Fresno County CCP funding.
BACKGROUND

powered by Legistar™
File #:ID#14-483 Agenda Date:10/30/2014 Agenda #:1-D
In 2011,the State of California passed AB 109.AB 109 effectively realigned responsibilities for
probation,Post Release Community Supervision (PRCS)and mandatory supervised release of
specifically identified convicted criminals from the State of California Department of Corrections and
Rehabilitation (CDCR)to county jurisdictions within the state.To implement the legislative
requirements set forth in AB 109,the Fresno County CCP was established and an AB 109
Implementation Plan was developed by the CCP and approved by the Fresno County Board of
Supervisors.
The AB 109 Plan included formation of the ACT to create a cooperative unit capable of addressing
public safety concerns and issues facing local law enforcement in Fresno County as a result of
persons released from CDCR institutions that require supervision under the provisions of AB 109 by
the County.The ACT Team operates under the supervision of the Fresno County Sheriff’s
Department and includes members from the Fresno County District Attorney’s Office,the Fresno
County Probation Department,and officers from the Fresno and Clovis Police Departments.A
Fresno Police officer has been part of the ACT Team since its inception in October 2011.
The State of California provides funding to Fresno County CCP for the purpose of implementing AB
109,mandates including the establishment of the ACT Team.Fresno County provides administrative
support to the CCP including administration of budgets,funding allocations and contracts established
through the policy decisions of the Fresno County CCP Board.
In FY 2012,the reimbursement for the Fresno Police Officer assigned to the ACT Team was paid
through an invoice process.For FY 2014-15 however,Fresno County required each participating
agency to enter into a contract to obtain reimbursement.The contract,once approved by the City
Council,would allow the City of Fresno to receive reimbursement for the ACT Officer through Fresno
County in an amount not to exceed $176,996.
The City Attorney has reviewed and approved to form.
ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS
This is not a “project” for the purposes of CEQA pursuant to the CEQA Guidelines Section 15378.
LOCAL PREFERENCE
Local preference was not considered because the Agreement does not include a bid or award of a
construction or services contract.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funding provided through the CCP from State allocation. The $176,996 pays for 100% of a Police
Officer assigned to the ACT Team, the annual cost of a police vehicle, all training and OT expenses.
As such, there is no General Fund impact.

FROM:BRUCE RUDD, City Manager
BY:WILMA QUAN-SCHECTER, Deputy City Manager
SUBJECT
Approval of items related to the renewal of a tourism business improvement district upon verification
of a sufficient number of valid petitions collected to support the renewal of the district
1.RESOLUTION -Declaring its intention to renew the Fresno-Clovis Tourism Business
Improvement District (FCTBID)and establishing the time and place of a public meeting and a
public hearing thereon and giving notice thereof
2.RESOLUTION - Requesting consent of the City of Clovis to renew the FCTBID
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council approve both Resolutions to initiate the process for renewing
the Fresno-Clovis Tourism Business Improvement District (FCTBID).
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The FCTBID was formed in 2010 for a five-year term ending on December 31,2015.As the FCTBID
reaches the end of its initial term,businesses have expressed a desire to renew it.The FCTBID will
continue to provide a steady funding source to the Fresno-Clovis Convention and Visitor’s Bureau
(FCCVB)through an assessment levied on hoteliers within the District.The Property and Business
Improvement District Law of 1994,which authorizes this kind of entity,requires that one municipal
entity act as the lead agency through which the FCTBID is formed and assessments are collected.
The FCCVB will serve as the FCTBID’s Owner’s Association.The Owner’s Association is charged
with managing funds and implementing programs in accordance with the Management District Plan,
and must provide annual reports to the City Council.
BACKGROUND
The renewed FCTBID will include all lodging businesses,existing and in the future,available for
public occupancy located within the boundaries of the cities of Fresno and Clovis.The FCTBID is

File #:ID#14-493 Agenda Date:10/30/2014 Agenda #:1-E
public occupancy located within the boundaries of the cities of Fresno and Clovis.The FCTBID is
designed to provide specific benefits directly to payors through a sales and marketing program that
will promote assessed businesses as tourist,meeting and event destinations.The goal of the sales
and marketing program will be to increase overnight visitation and room night sales in cities of Fresno
and Clovis.
The funding for a TBID comes from an assessment levied upon hoteliers within the District’s
boundaries.This is separate and distinct from the Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT)that hoteliers are
required to submit.Initial estimates are that the TBID will collect approximately $1,400,000 per year
in the first five (5)of its ten (10)year operation.The anticipated budget for the last five (5)years of its
ten (10)year operation will be approximately $2,000,000 per year in assessments annually from both
the Fresno and Clovis businesses within the FCTBID.The City of Fresno will be reimbursed up to 1%
of the collected assessment for administrative costs associated with the collection and record-
keeping related to the assessment.In addition to receiving reimbursement for expenses,the City of
Fresno will have a seat on the FCTBID Board, as will the City of Clovis.
The FCTBID can only be renewed by a governing municipal agency.The law requires that
businesses owners who would pay more than 50%of the assessment sign petitions indicating their
desire to renew the FCTBID.Upon receipt of sufficient petitions,if the City Council chooses to
proceed,it is must pass a Resolution of Intent to Form the District and to set a date for both a public
meeting and a public hearing.There will be a public meeting to allow public testimony regarding
renewal of the TBID,which the Resolution of Intention will set for November 20,2014.Written
protests can be submitted up until the time set for the public hearing,which the Resolution of
Intention will set for December 18,2014.At the public hearing,Council may adopt a resolution
renewing the TBID,so long as the City has not received written protests from business owners who
will pay more than 50%of the assessment.The action requested of City Council on October 30th is
simply to provide notice that it is the intent of the City to renew the TBID and to set the meeting date
and the hearing date for the vote.The Council’s approval of the Resolutions on October 30th does
not formally establish, or bind the Council to establish, the District.
The law requires that the City of Clovis also approve the renewal of the District within their city limits
because this District encompasses the City of Clovis as well as Fresno.The Fresno City Council is
being asked to approve a Resolution requesting the City of Clovis to renew the formation of the
District within their city limits.If the FCTBID is successfully established,assessments levied in the
City of Clovis on hoteliers in Clovis will be collected by the City of Clovis and forwarded to the City of
Fresno for transmittal to the FCTBID.
ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS
This is not a project for CEQA purposes.
LOCAL PREFERENCE
This action is not subject to local preference.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact to the City.All necessary actions to post the public hearing notices and mail
ballots to affected parties will be paid by the CVB.If the FCTBID is renewed,the City will be
responsible for collecting the assessment from hoteliers and will pass the funds through to theCity of Fresno Printed on 12/16/2022Page 2 of 3

Management District Plan 2
October 1, 2014
I. OVERVIEW
The Fresno/Clovis Tourism Business Improvement District (FCTBID) was formed in 2010 for a
five-year term ending on December 31, 2015. As the FCTBID reaches the end of its initial term,
businesses have expressed a desire to renew it.
Location: The renewed FCTBID includes all lodging businesses located within the boundaries
of the cities of Fresno and Clovis.
Services: The FCTBID is designed to provide specific benefits directly to payors by increasing
room night sales. Destination marketing and sales promotions will increase
overnight tourism and market payors as tourist, meeting and event destinations,
thereby increasing room night sales.
Budget: The total FCTBID annual budget for the first five (5) years of its ten (10) year
operation is anticipated to be approximately $1,400,000 per year. The anticipated
annual budget for the last five (5) years of its ten (10) year operation will be
approximately $2,000,000 per year. This budget is expected to fluctuate as room
sales and the assessment rate do, as detailed in Section VI.
Cost: The annual assessment rate is one and one-half percent (1.5%) of gross short-term
(stays less than 31 days) room rental revenue, for years one through five of the ten
year term. In years six through ten, the annual assessment rate is two percent (2%)
of gross short-term (stays less than 31 days) room rental revenue. Based on the
benefit received, assessments will not be collected on stays of more than thirty (30)
consecutive days, nor on stays by railroad crews, airline crews, or tax exempt
government employees on government business as described in detail in section V.
The City will be responsible for collecting the assessment on a quarterly basis
(including any delinquencies, penalties and interest) from each lodging business
located in the boundaries of the FCTBID. The City shall take all reasonable efforts
to collect the assessments from each lodging business.
Duration: The proposed FCTBID will have a ten (10) year life, beginning January 1, 2016
through December 31, 2025, which term is the proposed time for implementation
and completion of this Management District Plan. Once per year beginning on the
anniversary of district renewal there is a 30-day period in which owners paying more
than fifty percent (50%) of the assessment may protest and initiate a City Council
hearing on district termination.
Management: The Fresno/Clovis Convention and Visitor’s Bureau (FCCVB) will serve as the
FCTBID’s Owners’ Association. The Owners’ Association is charged with
managing funds and implementing programs in accordance with this Plan, and must
provide annual reports to the City Council.
Management District Plan 3
October 1, 2014
II. IMPETUS
There are several reasons why now is the right time to renew a TBID in Fresno/Clovis; the most
compelling reasons are as follows:
1. The Need to Increase Occupancy
The renewal of the FCTBID is a proactive effort to provide supplemental funding beyond
that provided by the cities. The funding will ensure that adequate financing exists for the
investment required to increase occupancy in the lodging industry and be competitive in the
conference segment of the tourism market. The investment will cover an expanded
marketing and promotional budget needed to reach this market segment.
2. An Opportunity for Increasing Cities’ Tax Revenues
As occupancy rates increase, so too will the cities’ TOT revenue. With stable public/private
funding for tourism marketing efforts, annual occupancy rates should increase significantly
as new marketing and sales promotion programs are implemented. Greater occupancy will
also produce an increase in sales tax revenues from tourist spending. This represents a
substantial return to the cities. The renewal of the FCTBID in partnership with the FCCVB
creates a stable funding source tied directly to tourism promotion.
3. Stable Funding for Tourism Promotion
The FCTBID will provide a stable source of funding for consistent tourism promotion
efforts. The FCTBID will provide funding for tourism promotion free of the political and
economic circumstances that can reduce or eliminate government funding for tourism
promotion.
Management District Plan 4
October 1, 2014
III. BACKGROUND
TBIDs are an evolution of the traditional Business Improvement District. The first TBID was
formed in West Hollywood, California in 1989. Since then, over eighty California destinations have
followed suit. In recent years, other states have begun adopting the California model – Washington,
Montana, and Texas have adopted TBID laws. Several other states are in the process of adopting
their own legislation. And, some cities, like Portland, Oregon, have utilized their charter powers to
create TBIDs without a state
law.
California’s TBIDs collectively
raise over $150 million for local
destination marketing. With
competitors raising their
budgets, and increasing rivalry
for visitor dollars, it is important
that Fresno and Clovis lodging
businesses invest in stable,
lodging-specific marketing
programs.
TBIDs utilize the efficiencies of
private sector operation in the
market-based promotion of
tourism districts. TBIDs allow
lodging business owners to organize their efforts to increase room night sales. Lodging business
owners within the TBID pay an assessment and those funds are used to provide services that
increase room night sales.
In California, TBIDs are formed pursuant to the Property and Business Improvement District Law
of 1994. This law allows for the creation of a benefit assessment district to raise funds within a
specific geographic area. The key difference between TBIDs and other benefit assessment districts is that funds
raised are returned to the private non-profit corporation governing the district.
There are many benefits to TBID:
Funds must be spent on services and improvements that provide a specific benefit only to those
who pay;
Funds cannot be diverted to general government programs;
They are customized to fit the needs of payors in each destination;
They allow for a wide range of services;
They are designed, created and governed by those who will pay the assessment; and
They provide a stable, long-term funding source for tourism promotion.
Management District Plan 5
October 1, 2014
IV. BOUNDARY
The FCTBID will include all lodging businesses, existing and in the future, available for public
occupancy located within the boundaries of the cities of Fresno and Clovis.
Lodging business means: any structure, or any portion of any structure which is occupied or
intended or designed for occupancy by transients for dwelling, lodging, or sleeping purposes, and
includes any hotel, inn, tourist home or house, motel, studio hotel, bachelor hotel, lodging house,
rooming house, apartment house, dormitory, public or private club, mobilehome or house trailer at a
fixed location, or other similar structure or portion thereof.
The boundary, as shown in the map below, currently includes eighty-nine (94) lodging businesses. A
complete listing of lodging businesses within the proposed FCTBID can be found in Appendix 2.
Management District Plan 6
October 1, 2014
V. BUDGET AND SERVICES
A. Annual Service Plan
Assessment funds will be spent to provide specific benefits conferred or privileges granted directly
to the payors that are not provided to those not charged, and which do not exceed the reasonable
cost to the City of conferring the benefits or granting the privileges. The privileges and services
provided with the FCTBID funds are sales promotion and destination marketing programs. These
FCTBID programs are only available to assessed businesses.
A service plan budget has been developed to deliver services that benefit businesses throughout the
District. A detailed annual budget will be developed and approved by the Owners’ Association.
The table below illustrates the initial annual budget allocations.
Although actual revenues will fluctuate due to market conditions, the proportional allocations of the
budget shall remain the same. However, the FCCVB board shall have the authority to adjust budget
allocations between the categories by no more than fifteen percent (15%) of the total budget per
year. A description of the proposed improvements and activities for the initial year of operation is
below. The same activities are proposed for subsequent years. In the event of a legal challenge
against the FCTBID, any and all assessment funds may be used for the costs of defending the
FCTBID.
The annual assessment rate is one and one-half percent (1.5%) of gross short-term (stays less than 31
days) room rental revenue, for years one through five of the ten year term. In years six through ten, the
annual assessment rate is two percent (2%) of gross short-term (stays less than 31 days) room rental
revenue. The table below portrays the potential annual assessment budget increase from one and one-
half percent (1.5%) to two percent (2%) in year six of the ten year term. Additionally, a three percent
(3%) annual increase in the total budget is shown, to account for estimated increased room night sales

Sales and Marketing
A sales and marketing program will promote assessed businesses as tourist, meeting, and event
destinations. The sales and marketing program will have a central theme of promoting Fresno and
Clovis as a desirable place for overnight visits. The program will have the goal of increasing
overnight visitation and room night sales at assessed businesses, and may include the following
activities:
Internet marketing efforts to increase awareness and optimize internet presence to drive
overnight visitation and room sales to assessed businesses;
Print ads in magazines and newspapers targeted at potential visitors to drive overnight
visitation and room sales to assessed businesses;
Television ads targeted at potential visitors to drive overnight visitation and room sales to
assessed businesses;
Radio ads targeted at potential visitors to drive overnight visitation and room sales to
assessed businesses;
Attendance of trade shows to promote assessed businesses;
Sales blitzes for assessed businesses;
Familiarization tours of assessed businesses;
Preparation and production of collateral promotional materials such as brochures, flyers and
maps featuring assessed businesses;
Attendance of professional industry conferences and affiliation events to promote assessed
businesses;
Lead generation activities designed to attract tourists and group events to assessed
businesses;
Director of Sales and General Manager meetings to plan and coordinate tourism promotion
efforts for assessed businesses;
Promotion of sporting events to drive overnight visitation and room sales to assessed
businesses; and
Education of lodging business management and the owners’ association on marketing
strategies best suited to meet assessed business’s needs.
Administration and Operations
Management District Plan 8
October 1, 2014
The administration and operations portion of the budget shall be utilized for administrative staffing
costs, office costs, and other general administrative costs such as insurance, legal, and accounting
fees.
City Administration Fee
The Cities of Fresno and Clovis shall be paid a fee equal to 1% of the amount of assessment
collected to cover their costs of collection and administration.
Contingency/Renewal
A prudent portion of the budget will be allocated to a contingency fund, to account for lower than
anticipated collections. If there are contingency funds collected and near the expiration of the
district there are contingency funds remaining, and business owners wish to renew the district, the
contingency funds may be used for renewal costs.
B. Determination of Specific Benefit
State law requires that assessment funds be expended on specific benefits conferred directly to the
payors that are not provided to those not charged, and which do not exceed the reasonable cost to
the cities of conferring the benefits. The services in this Management District Plan are designed to
provide targeted benefits directly to assessed lodging businesses. These services are tailored not to
serve the general public, but rather to serve the specific lodging businesses within the District, e.g.,
the proposed activities are specifically targeted to increase room night sales for assessed lodging
businesses within the boundaries of the District, and are narrowly tailored. FCTBID funds will be
used exclusively to provide the specific benefit of increased room night sales directly to the
assessees. For example, non-assessed businesses will not be featured in FCTBID programs and will
not receive sales leads from them. The activities paid for from assessment revenues are business
services constituting and providing specific benefits to the assessed businesses.
Further, the assessment may be utilized to provide specific government services directly to the
payors that are not provided to those not charged, and which do not exceed the reasonable costs to
the City of providing the services. The legislature has recognized that marketing and promotions
services like those to be provided by the FCTBID are, in the context of assessment districts,
government services. Further, the amount of the assessment is no more than necessary to cover the
reasonable costs of the proposed activities, and the manner in which the costs are allocated to a
business owner bear a fair share or reasonable relationship to the businesses’ benefits received from
the proposed activities. A specific benefit is not excluded from classification as a “specific benefit”
merely because an indirect benefit to a nonpayor occurs incidentally and without cost to the payor as
a consequence of providing the specific benefit to the payor. To the extent that other, non-District,
lodging businesses may receive incremental room nights, that portion of the promotion or program
generating those room nights shall be paid with non-District funds.
District services will be implemented carefully to ensure they do not exceed the reasonable cost of
such services. Funds will be managed by the Owners’ Association, and reports submitted on an
annual basis to the City. Only assessed businesses will be featured in marketing materials, receive
sales leads generated from district-funded activities, be featured in advertising campaigns, and
benefit from other district-funded services. Non-assessed businesses will not receive these, nor any
other, district-funded services and benefits.
Management District Plan 9
October 1, 2014
C. Assessment
The annual assessment rate is one and one-half percent (1.5%) of gross short-term (stays less than 31
days) room rental revenue, for years one through five of the ten year term. In years six through ten, the
annual assessment rate is two percent (2%) of gross short-term (stays less than 31 days) room rental
revenue. Based on the benefit received, assessments will not be collected on the following stays:
Stays of more than thirty (30) consecutive days;
Stays by railroad crews and airline crews;
Stays by any officer or employee of a foreign government who is exempt by reason of express
provision of federal law or international treaty or any federal or California city, county or state
government officer or employee when on official business; and
Stays by any occupant whose rent is of a value less than two dollars ($2.00) a day.
The term “gross room rental revenue” as used herein means: the consideration charged, whether or
not received, for the occupancy of space in a lodging business valued in money, whether to be
received in money, goods, labor, or otherwise, including all receipts, cash, credits, and property and
services of any kind or nature, without any deduction therefrom whatsoever. Gross room rental
revenue shall not include any federal, state or local taxes collected, including but not limited to
transient occupancy taxes.
The amount of assessment, if passed on to each transient, shall be disclosed in advance and
separately stated from the amount of rent charged and any other applicable taxes, and each transient
shall receive a receipt for payment from the business. The assessment shall be disclosed as the
“FCTBID Assessment.” The assessment shall not be considered revenue for any purposes,
including calculation of transient occupancy taxes.
Bonds shall not be issued.
D. Penalties and Interest
1. Any lodging business which fails to remit any assessment imposed within the time required
shall pay a penalty of ten percent (10%) of the amount of the assessment in addition to the
amount of the assessment.
2. Any lodging business which fails to remit any delinquent remittance on or before a period of
thirty (30) days following the date on which the remittance first became delinquent shall pay
a second delinquency penalty of ten percent (10%) of the amount of the assessment in
addition to the amount of the assessment and the ten percent (10%) penalty first imposed.
3. If either City determines that the non-payment of any remittance due under this plan is due
to fraud or intent to evade the provisions thereof, a penalty of twenty-five percent (25%) of
the amount of the assessment shall be added thereto in addition to the penalties stated in
subsections 1 and 2 of this section.
4. In addition to the penalties imposed, any lodging business which fails to remit any
assessment imposed shall pay interest at the rate of one percent (1%) per month or fraction
thereof on the amount of the assessment, exclusive of penalties, from the date on which the
remittance first became delinquent until paid.
5. Every penalty imposed and such interest as accrues under the provisions of this section shall
be merged with and become a part of the assessment herein required to be paid.
E. Time and Manner for Collecting Assessments
The FCTBID assessment will be implemented beginning January 1, 2016 and will continue for ten
(10) years through December 31, 2025. Each city will be responsible for collecting the assessment
Management District Plan 10
October 1, 2014
not less than quarterly (including any delinquencies, penalties and interest) from each lodging
business located in the boundaries of the respective city, in the FCTBID, and forwarding the
amount collected to the City of Fresno on a quarterly basis. Each city shall take all reasonable
efforts to collect, or cause to be collected, the assessments from each lodging business located
within its boundaries, within the FCTBID, including the collection of delinquent assessments. The
assessment shall be collected using a return form developed and provided to the assessed businesses
by the cities. The City of Fresno shall forward the assessment funds collected, including any
delinquencies, penalties and interest, to the Owners’ Association.
Management District Plan 11
October 1, 2014
VI. GOVERNANCE
A. Owners’ Association
The City Council, through adoption of this Management District Plan, has the right, pursuant to
Streets and Highways Code §36651, to identify the body that shall implement the proposed
program, which shall be the Owners’ Association of the FCTBID as defined in Streets and
Highways Code §36614.5. The City Council has determined that the Fresno/Clovis Convention
and Visitors Bureau (FCCVB) will serve as the Owners’ Association for the FCTBID.
B. Brown Act and California Public Records Act Compliance
An Owners’ Association is a private entity and may not be considered a public entity for any
purpose, nor may its board members or staff be considered to be public officials for any purpose.
The Owners’ Association is, however, subject to government regulations relating to transparency,
namely the Ralph M. Brown Act and the California Public Records Act. These regulations are
designed to promote public accountability. The Owners’ Association is considered a legislative body
under the Ralph M. Brown Act (Government Code §54950 et seq.). Thus, meetings of the FCCVB
board and certain committees must be held in compliance with the public notice and other
requirements of the Brown Act. The Owners’ Association is also subject to the record keeping and
disclosure requirements of the California Public Records Act. Accordingly, the Owners’ Association
shall publicly report any action taken and the vote or abstention on that action of each member
present for the action.
C. Annual Report
The FCCVB shall present an annual report at the end of each year of operation to the City Council
pursuant to Streets and Highways Code §36650 (see Appendix 1). The annual report shall include:
Any proposed changes in the boundaries of the improvement district or in any benefit zones
or classification of businesses within the district.
The improvements and activities to be provided for that fiscal year.
An estimate of the cost of providing the improvements and the activities for that fiscal year.
The method and basis of levying the assessment in sufficient detail to allow each business
owner, to estimate the amount of the assessment to be levied against his or her business for
that fiscal year.
The amount of any surplus or deficit revenues to be carried over from a previous fiscal year.
The amount of any contributions to be made from sources other than assessments levied
pursuant to this part.

improvements or activities outside the district or for any purpose other than the purposes specified in the resolution
of intention, as modified by the city council at the hearing concerning establishment of the district.
(7) A finding that the property or businesses within the area of the property and business improvement district
will be benefited by the improvements and activities funded by the assessments proposed to be levied.
(b) The adoption of the resolution of formation and, if required, recordation of the notice and map pursuant to

NOTICE OF PUBLIC MEETING AND PUBLIC HEARING CONCERNING THE RENEWAL OF
THE FRESNO/CLOVIS TOURISM BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT AND LEVY OF AN
ASSESSMENT ON CERTAIN LODGING BUSINESSES WITHIN THE DISTRICT
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on October 30, 2014, the City Council (the “Council”) of the City of
Fresno (the “City”) adopted a Resolution of Intention to renew the Fresno/Clovis Tourism Business
Improvement District (the “FCTBID”) and to levy an assessment on certain lodging businesses within
the FCTBID as set forth in the attached Resolution of Intention.
NOTICE IS HEREBY FURTHER GIVEN that at 10:00 AM on November 20, 2014, at the City of Fresno
Council Chambers, 2600 Fresno Street, Fresno, CA 93721, a public meeting shall be held pursuant to
Government Code section 54954.6 to allow public testimony regarding the renewal of the FCTBID and
the levy of assessments therein as set forth in the enclosed Resolution of Intention and pursuant to
Government Code section 54954.6.
NOTICE IS HEREBY FURTHER GIVEN that at 2:00 PM on December 18, 2014, at the City of Fresno
Council Chambers, 2600 Fresno Street, Fresno, CA 93721, has been set as the time and place for a
public hearing at which time the Council proposes to renew the FCTBID and to levy the proposed
assessment as set forth in the Resolution of Intention.
Boundaries: The renewed FCTBID includes all lodging businesses located within the boundaries of
the cities of Fresno and Clovis.
Assessment: The annual assessment rate is one and one-half percent (1.5%) of gross short-term
(stays less than 31 days) room rental revenue, for years one through five of the ten
year term. In years six through ten, the annual assessment rate is two percent (2%) of
gross short-term (stays less than 31 days) room rental revenue. Based on the benefit
received, assessments will not be collected on stays of more than thirty (30)
consecutive days, nor on stays by railroad crews, airline crews, or tax exempt
government employees on government business as described in detail in section V of
the Management District Plan.
Budget: The total FCTBID annual budget for the first five (5) years of its ten (10) year operation
is anticipated to be approximately $1,400,000 per year. The anticipated annual
budget for the last five (5) years of its ten (10) year operation will be approximately
$2,000,000 per year. This budget is expected to fluctuate as room sales and the
assessment rate do, as detailed in Section VI of the Management District Plan.
Purpose: The FCTBID is designed to provide specific benefits directly to payors by increasing
room night sales. Destination marketing and sales promotions will increase overnight
tourism and market payors as tourist, meeting and event destinations, thereby
increasing room night sales.
Collection: Each City will be responsible for collecting the assessment on a quarterly basis
(including any delinquencies, penalties and interest) from each lodging business
located in its jurisdiction. Each City shall take all reasonable efforts to collect the
assessments from each lodging business.
Protest: Any owner of a lodging business within the renewed FCTBID that will be subject to the
assessment may protest the renewal of the FCTBID. If written protests are received
from the owners of lodging businesses in the renewed FCTBID who represent 50
percent (50%) or more of the estimated annual assessments to be levied, the FCTBID
shall not be renewed and the assessment shall not be imposed.
You may mail a written protest to:
Office of the City Clerk
City of Fresno
2600 Fresno Street
Fresno, CA 93721
You may also appear at the public hearing and submit a written protest at that time.
Information: Should you desire additional information about this proposed FCTBID or assessment

SUBJECT
Award a service contract in the amount of $77,546.90 to Shier Aviation Corporation DBA Corporate
Helicopters, of San Diego, CA, for the mandated 12 year inspection of a Fresno Police Department
EC-120B Airbus Helicopter
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Council award a service contract in the amount of $77,546.90 to Shier
Aviation,dba Corporate Helicopters (San Diego,CA)to complete a manufacturer-mandated 12-year
inspection of a Fresno Police Department Airbus EC-120 Helicopter.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The first of two Fresno Police Department EC-120 helicopters are due for a mandated 12-year
inspection in November 2014.After issuing a Request for Proposal (RFP)for the mandated 12-
year inspection,Shier Aviation,dba Corporate Helicopters was determined to be lowest responsive
and responsible bidder.Staff recommends that Council award a service contract to Shier Aviation,
dba Corporate Helicopters and that Council authorize the Chief of Police or designee to sign the
contract on behalf of the City.
BACKGROUND
The Fresno Police Department’s “Skywatch” Air Support Unit currently operates two helicopters, a
2003 Airbus EC-120 (certificated in 2002) and a 2005 Airbus EC-120 (certificated in 2004). Airbus
(formerly known as American Eurocopter) mandates a 12-year (144-month) inspection be done on all
helicopters it manufactures. This inspection must be started by November 2014. This inspection
requires the removal of all systems (engine, transmission and fuel tanks) and a complete tear-down
of the airframe in order to be able to detect any irregularities not seen during regular inspections. It is
estimated the inspection will take three months to complete.

BY:JERRY L. SCHUBER SR., Assistant Director
Department of Public Utilities, Solid Waste Management Division
SUBJECT
Authorize the City Manager to enter into an Agreement with the County of Fresno for landfill disposal
services at Fresno County’s American Avenue Landfill
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that Council authorize the City Manager or designee to enter into a twenty year
(20)agreement with the County of Fresno for landfill disposal services at the Fresno County’s
American Landfill, subject to City Attorney review and approval of the terms and conditions.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In 1992,the City of Fresno entered into a contract with the County of Fresno for landfill disposal services at Fresno
County’s American Avenue Landfill.This contract expired June 30,2014.Since this time,the City has continued to
utilize the American Avenue Landfill through a month to month agreement that was approved by Council on September
25, 2014.
Negotiations between the City of Fresno and Fresno County,which began in March of this year,have resulted in the
parties reaching a tentative agreement in which the City’s tipping fees will be based on the number of tons of solid waste
material that are delivered by the City of Fresno to the American Avenue Landfill.
The new tiered rate will result in the City’s tipping charges being reduced from $23 per ton to 18.50 per ton,based on the
amount of solid waste material currently being delivered.The annualized savings from the new rate is approximately
$950,000.The lower rate also applies to the City’s Commercial Solid Waste providers.In addition to a lower tipping fee,
the new tiered-rated schedule also includes a fixed,annual cost escalator of 2.5%per year,with the first increase not
occurring until July 1,2016.The new agreement also includes a five year review in which actually costs will be
analyzed.
BACKGROUND
In 1992,the City of Fresno,having closed its own sanitary landfill,negotiated a contract with the County of Fresno to
bring all municipal solid waste to the American Avenue Landfill for disposal.
Over the last several months the Department of Public Utilities and the City Manager’s Office have been in negotiations
City of Fresno Printed on 12/16/2022Page 1 of 3
powered by Legistar™
File #:ID#14-532 Agenda Date:10/30/2014 Agenda #:1-H
Over the last several months the Department of Public Utilities and the City Manager’s Office have been in negotiations
with the County of Fresno concerning the American Avenue Landfill contract,which expired on June 30,2014.During
this period,the parties agreed to continue to deliver material to the American Avenue Landfill through a month to month
agreement at the current rate while negotiations progressed.
During the course of these negotiations staff also reviewed and considered other public and private landfill options for
the citizens of Fresno.The factors considered included unit price,distance from transfer station used by the City,
location of landfill (in county versus out of county),and currently permitted capacity of other landfills.While other public
and private landfills are certainly feasible,the American Avenue Landfill offers our rate payers the optimum combination
of price ($18.50/ton),distance (25 miles),location (Fresno County),and currently permitted capacity (24 million cubic
yards)-all of which best serve the interests of the community by providing cost and capacity certainty for the next twenty
years.
In addition,it is important to note that the County’s proposed tipping fee of $18.50 per ton includes a $3.41 per ton
charge to provide other important solid waste services for resident living the city of Fresno,such as household
hazardous waste (HHW)program,solid waste facility inspections,and state record keeping and reporting.Accordingly,
the effective tipping fee for solid waste disposal is actually $15.09 per ton,with the additional $3.41 per ton used to fund
other state mandated solid waste programs.
The proposed rate of $18.50 is allocated to the following cost components:
·Operations, Maintenance, Equipment, Closure/Post Closure, Corrective Action, LF Expansion Fee: $13.69/ton
·Mandated Health Department Fee: $0.51/ton (includes inspection of facilities within City limits)
·Solid Waste Coordination Fee:$0.50/ton (Includes State and local reporting requirements,and solid waste-
related commissions and boards)
·AB 939 Fee:$2.40/ton (Regional programs related to the management of the regional HHW permanent facility,
education and outreach programs)
·State Waste Board Fee: $1.40/ton (AB 1220)
While the Council could consider disposing Fresno’s municipal solid waste at another landfill located outside the county,
the City would still be required to make the equivalent of a $3.41 per ton payment to the County of Fresno to cover the
costs for the state mandated programs outlined above.The $3.41 charge would be in addition to increased
transportation related costs that the City would be charged for transporting solid waste materials to landfill that is farther
away.
Therefore, it is staff’s recommendation is to enter into a landfill disposal agreement with Fresno County to secure
necessary, sustainable, long-term, solid waste services for the citizens of Fresno.
ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS
By the definition provided in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)Guidelines Section 15378,the award of this
contract does not qualify as a “project” and is therefore exempt from the CEQA requirements.
LOCAL PREFERENCE
Not applicable
FISCAL IMPACT
The City’s agreement with the County for the American Avenue Landfill is subject to tonnages hauled and disposed of at
$18.50 per ton.The current per ton charge of $23.00 was included in the Division’s FY16 Operating budget.The new
rate of $18.50 will result in annualized savings of approximately $950,000.
It should be noted that the American Avenue Landfill agreement is one of three agreements that will either expire and/or
change over the next year that will directly affect the cost of providing residential solid waste services.The ability to
further reduce projected residential solid waste rate increases will,in large part,be predicated upon the outcome of

SUBJECT
RESOLUTION - For the Substantial Amendment No. 2012-002, No. 2013-001, and No. 2014-002 to the Fiscal Years
2012, 2013, and 2014 Annual Action Plans to incorporate the planned use of the Emergency Solutions Grant funds
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council:
1)Approve a Resolution for the substantial Amendment No.2012-002,No.2013-001,and No.2014-002 to the fiscal
years 2012,2013,and 2014 Annual Action Plans to incorporate the planned use of the Emergency Solutions
Grant funds; and
2)Authorize the City Manager to sign all implementing documents and approval as to form by the City Attorney.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Each year the City of Fresno submits an Annual Action Plan to the U.S.Department of Housing and Urban Development
(HUD)describing how it will utilize federal funding to accomplish certain federal and local objectives.The Emergency
Solutions Grant (ESG)Program is a part of that application.This amendment is intended to clarify the use of the funding,
to comply with certain narrative submission requirements,and to include the consultation with the Fresno/Madera
Continuum of Care (FMCoC) prior to the public review period.
BACKGROUND
The City of Fresno has been the recipient of homelessness program funding for a number of years.This program was
previously under the guidelines of the ESG program but in 2010,the program was overhauled and renamed the ESG
Program as part of the HEARTH Act.Beginning in 2011,the priorities and funding categories of the program were
redirected to long-term housing solutions rather than temporary shelter solutions.With the changes in the national
program requirements along with new national initiatives to end homelessness,the City has been working to amend its
program guidelines and realign anticipated outcomes to be consistent with the national expectations.
The ESG Program is designed to identify sheltered and unsheltered homeless persons,as well as those at risk of
homelessness,and provide the services necessary to help those persons quickly regain stability in permanent housing
after experiencing a housing crisis and/or homelessness.The City and County of Fresno,separately,are recipients of an
annual allocation of ESG funding.The two agencies will work together to release a request for proposals for federal fiscal

years 2013 and 2014 later this fall.
Subrecipient awards for 2011 and 2012 were approved previously.This amendment is centered on bringing the Annual
Action Plan into compliance with the HEARTH Act regulations and to establish future funding categories.
The formula allocations for the ESG program are as follows:
FFY 2011*FFY 2012 FFY 2013 FFY 2014
Allocation $188,386 $596,740 $418,409 $517,584
*second allocation
On August 10,2014,the Housing and Community Development Division released a Notice of
Upcoming Public Comment Period to inform the public that a draft amendment to the Annual Action
Plan would be available beginning August 25,2014.City Staff attended the August 8,2014 meeting
of the FMCoC to describe the planned activities and timelines for the amended Action Plan and to
receive feedback.At that meeting,the agencies expressed concerns about the City’s timeliness in
award of ESG funding and the burden of the matching requirements.Both concerns have been
addressed in the draft Amendment.
On August 24,2014,the Housing and Community Development Division released a Public Notice
regarding the Public Review and Comment on Proposed Use of ESG Funds.No formal comments
were received during the first 30-day comment period;however,a number of recommendations
regarding technical compliance were raised internally and externally.These include the addition of
the priorities from the City &County of Fresno Ten Year Plan to End Chronic Homelessness adopted
in 2008,addition of the specific providers including their one-year goals and specific action steps as
provided in their proposals for service,and replacing the Veteran’s Administration (VA)gaps analysis
with the current Point in Time survey that was conducted by the Fresno FMCoC.
These recommendations were incorporated into the draft document considered by the Housing and
Community Development Commission (HCDC)at their public hearing on September 10,2014.The
commission heard and considered a recommendation to the City Council regarding the amended
2011-2014 Action Plans.One public comment was made which focused on the need for a general
emergency shelter to serve non-specific clientele.The HCDC considered the activities discussed in
the Amendment;comments made by the Commission members included the need to process federal
funds in a timely manner and to extend the FFY 2012 subrecipient contracts for an additional nine
months for subgrantees to be able to complete their activities.
On September 18,2014,the FMCoC requested additional time to review the changes made during
the first 30-day comment period.After consultation with HUD,staff decided to open a new comment
period and request additional consultation from the FMCoC.The draft was provided to the Chair of
the FMCoC for review prior to opening a new comment period;no changes were recommended at
that time.On September 26,2014 a second notice was published initiating a second,30-day public
comment period.City Staff attended the October 9,2014 regular meeting of the FMCoC to solicit
additional feedback regarding the proposed activities and budget.A number of comments were
received at that time.The first comment was to clarify the FMCoC’s position on a “come as you are”
shelter which was the result of a different community conversation and while it held merit,it was not
the recommendation of the FMCoC.The second comment was to ensure the City would continue to
consult with the FMCoC not only on the Action Plan but on accomplishments and monitoring of
subrecipient activities.Finally,the FMCoC requested the City and County amend the joint policies

subrecipient activities.Finally,the FMCoC requested the City and County amend the joint policies
and procedures to require participation in the CAHM system for subrecipients of the ESG program.
City Staff and the FMCoC executive committee strongly recommended that all members review and
make comment on the second draft.
These recommendations were incorporated into the draft presented to the HCDC on October 22,
2014.There was no quorum at the HCDC meeting.However,two members of the public were
present and made comment.The concerns centered around timeliness of allocation of funds and
accountability by the agencies receiving funding,the HCDC as a board,and the City as a whole.City
Staff concurs with the public testimony that the City must be proactive to ensure that the funds are
allocated in a timely manner,that the agencies which are receiving the funds are accountable to both
the City and HUD,and that the HCDC has an active role in both funding allocation and ensuring
commitments are met.The public comment period ended on October 25,2014;there were no
written public comments.
The attached Resolution and Amended Action Plan reflect the recommendations and comments by
the FMCoC,the public,and the HCDC received during all comment periods,public hearings,and
consultation meetings
Staff recommends approval.
ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS
By the definition provided in the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines Section 15378,this
item does not qualify as a “project”and is therefore exempt from the California Environmental Quality
Act requirements.
LOCAL PREFERENCE
Local preference was not considered because the amendment does not include a bid or award of a
construction or services contract.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no increase or decrease to the approved budget for the Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG).

Management Services in Fresno

Corporation to provide professional Parking Facilities Management Services at City-owned
Downtown parking lots and garages,and at various park sites,in the amount of $6,066,056 for the
first five-year term.In addition to the initial five-year term,the proposed contract includes five (5)one
-year optional extensions.Staff also recommends that the City Manager,in conjunction with the City
Attorney,or his representative,be authorized to sign the original five-year contract and the one-year
extensions on behalf of the City of Fresno.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Since 2005 Downtown Parking Facilities Management Services have been provided to the City by

The Parking Division’s payment to Ace Parking ranges from $1.7 million to $2.4 million dollars
annually,which includes management fees and applicable pass-through expenses.The proposed
management agreement with SP Plus Corporation reduces the Parking Division’s annual
commitment to $1.2 million resulting in a potential savings of $500,000 to $1 million each year to be
invested into improving the technology and parking sites.
BACKGROUND
The long-term contract and multiple extensions with Ace Parking to provide Downtown parking
facilities management services expired.An RFP for these services was released to the public on
February 10,2014.Eight (8)Building Exchanges received the RFP by facsimile,and as a result
thirty-seven (37)prospective proposers received the RFP.The Scope of Work was written to include
upgrades and changes to maintenance and customer service levels,strategies to increase revenues
potential,improving aesthetics and safety,and technology opportunities to support Downtown
revitalization.Additionally,the Scope of Work also included the cost for services at various park
sites.
A Selection Review Committee was convened to review the proposals.The Committee included staff
from the City of Fresno Purchasing Division,the City Manager’s Office,Internal Audit,FYI,
Development and Resource Management,as well as the interim President and a board member from
the Downtown Fresno Partnership.Parking Services staff provided technical background to the
Committee but did not participate in the scoring of the proposals.
The Committee met on four occasions to review proposals,methodically score and select the final
proposer.The RFP sought a vendor who possessed extensive experience in special events due to
the number of venues located in the Downtown area,a marketing strategy,a forward thinking
approach to improving the facilities,and innovative techniques for supporting Downtown revitalization
and increasing revenues.The RFP also specifically requested a comprehensive program to include
robust accounting procedures, recordkeeping, and reporting.
The Committee focused on the specificity in each of the proposals relating to strategy,technology,
customer service,facility maintenance,and management experience.These attributes were then
compared to the relative cost of each proposal.At the conclusion of the second round the Committee
selected two finalists.For the third round Republic Parking and SP Plus Corporation were invited to
make a presentation and be interviewed by the Committee.Both companies gave excellent
presentations.Final due diligence determined that three submittals were non-responsive to the bid
requirements.Republic Parking and LAZ failed to address the requirements of Addendum 5 related
to providing staff costs at various park sites.Pro Park failed to include a spec cost sheet.As a
result,they were disqualified from further consideration.SP Plus Corporation was selected as the
most responsive bidder.However,the Committee requested an additional interview,with the SP Plus
Corporation team,to ensure that they understood the complexities of:(1)managing an event driven
Downtown parking program;and (2)managing during a major construction project.After an hour of
intense discussion the Committee unanimously agreed that SP Plus Corporation will provide
excellent Parking Facilities Management Services.
For reference, the five-year cost for the seven Proposers were as follows:
Bidder Proposal Responsive to RFP
Requirements
SP Plus Corp $6,066,056 Yes
Republic Parking $6,595,263 No
Parking Concepts, Inc.$4,645,009 Yes
LAZ Parking $3,884,614 No
Ace Parking $8,322,380 Yes
ABM Parking $9,238,970 Yes
Pro Park Not Included No

Pro Park Not Included No
After exhausting due diligence consideration for all the proposals received,the Committee and staff
recommend awarding the contract to SP Plus Corporation to provide Parking Facilities Management
Services for the next contract term.
ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS
Pursuant to the provisions of California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)Guidelines Section 15378,
this agreement is not a project for the purposes of CEQA.
LOCAL PREFERENCE
Local preference did not affect the award of this requirements contract since none of the proposers
qualify for the local business preference according to the Fresno Municipal Code Section 4-108(a).
FISCAL IMPACT
The fees include two components:1)Management Fee of $750,000 for the five year period;and 2)
Pass-through expenses of $5,316,056 related to garage operations for five years.Total cost is
$6,066,056.
The Parking Division’s payment to the current management provider Ace Parking ranges from $1.7
million to $2.4 million dollars annually,which includes management fees and applicable pass-through
expenses.The proposed management agreement with SP Plus Corporation reduces the Parking
Division’s annual commitment to $1.2 million,a potential savings of $500,000 to $1 million each year
to invest in technology and capital improvements.

Re: Council Agenda October 30,2014
Agenda Item ID# l4-518
Dear Honorable Councilmembers :
we come before you on behalf of Ace parking Management, Inc. (Ace).
We request that the City Council not award the Parking Facilities Management Contract
to SP Plus Corporation (SP) as recommended by staff.
SP's proposal is non-responsive in that it fails to address numerous requirements of RFp
9261. The enclosure accompanying this letter details the items that SP failed io address.
Lyman D. Griswold
RtcilvtD (1e14-2000)
Michael E. LaSalle
Honorable City Council

The omissions result in SP under-budgeting Year 1 of the contract by approximately
$429,500 and the five-year contract term by approximately $2,245,000. SP would incur
significant financial losses if it provides all of the required services at the amounts identified in
its proposal. It is doubtful that SP could complete the five-year contract while incurring
$2,245,000 in losses. If the contract is awarded to SP, the City faces the possibility of having to
reduce or eliminate some of the required services to make completion of the contract feasible for
SP, increasing SP's compensation to a level greatly exceeding SP's bid, or saddling SP with
significant financial burden that prevents SP from completing the contract, all of which are
unappealing and inconsistent with the RFP.
The staff report indicates that the proposals of Republic Parking, the company that was
previously identifred as the favored candidate, andLAZ Parking "failed to address [RFP]
Addendum 5 related to providing staffing costs at various park sites." As outlined in the
enclosure, SP's proposal also fails to satisfy the requirements of Addendum 5.
The staff report further indicates that award of the Parking Facilities Management
Services contract to SP may result in a cost-savings to the City of $500,000 to $1,000,000. Such
statement does not tell the whole story. The staff report fails to note that the City requested
various additional services from Ace, some of which are identified in the enclosure. If SP were
to include all required RFP services in its budget and if the City requests the same additional
services from SP, the $500,000 to $1,000,000 in cost-savings referenced in the staff report will
not be realized.
Ace also takes exception to the staff report's statement that none of the proposers qualify
for the City's local business preference. Ace has maintained a branch office in downtown Fresno
for its over 60 employees for over ten years. This issue further illustrates that the staff report
omits critical information that results in a flawed conclusion.
We encourage the Council to reject SP's non-responsive proposal and extend Ace's
contract because Ace is best qualified, has provided excellent progressive service over its tenure
and will provide the best service for the best price in the future.
Sincerely,
GRISWO ALLE, COBB,

SP Plus Corporatíon's (SP) response to RFP 9261 is non-responsivefor thefollowing reasons:
l. SP failed to satisfy the booth staffïng requirements outlined in RFP Addendum No. 5 - fulltime
staffïng of two parking booths at Woodward and Roeding Parks.
o Addendum 5 clearly states that the minimum cashier staffing level is 2 booths during all operating
hours for V/oodward Park and 2 booths during all operating hours for Roeding Park.
o Addendum 5 identifies the parks' operating hours as: Summer - 6AM-1OPM; Winter - 6AM-7PM.
o SP's proposal indicates that one parking booth in Woodward Park and one booth in Roeding Park
will be operational between 7AM and 4PM and one booth at eachpark will be operational between
IPM and 10PM.
o SP underbid the required staffing hours by 154 hours per week (winter) and224 hours per week
(summer), respectively.
o Failure to satisfy the stafflrng requirements of Addendum 5 results in SP under-budgeting by
approximately $145,000 in Year I and more than $770,000 over the 5-year contract term.
SP failed to satisfy the booth staffïng requirements outlined in RFP Addendum No. 5 - event
staffing hours for Woodward Park booth #3.
o This omission results in under-budgeting by $47,000 in Year 1, for a total of approximately
$250,000 over the 5-year contract term.
SP's proposal failed to include one fulltime parks supervisor as required by Addendum 5.
o SP did not budget for the mandatory parks supervisor position, which results in a 40 hour per week
omission.
o Year 1 costs : $70,000, for a total of more than $370,000 over the S-year contract term.
SP's proposal failed to include elevator repair and maintenance as required by the RFP's Scope of
Work
o SP failed to budget for this cost in its proposal.
o Year 1 cost: $71,500, for a total of more than $365,000 over the 5-year contract term.
SP's proposal failed to include the removal of papers, debris, fïlth and refuse from the
parking facilities and power-washing of surfaces on a monthly basis, which are requirements
identified in the RFP.
SP's omission results in SP failing to include required services in its proposed budget.
Year 1 cost : $71,000, for a total of more than $360,000 over the S-year contract term.
.,
3.
4.
5.
6. SP's proposal failed to include tickets, hanging permits, decals, and access cards per Section 4.02
of the Operating Contract that was part of the RFP.
o SP's omission results in SP failing to include required materials and services in its proposed
budget.
o Year 1 costs : $25,000, for a total of more than $130,000 over the 5-year term
SP's First Year Total Budget Omissions = $ 429,500
SP's Five Year Total Budget Omissions = $2,245,000
Compøring SP's proposed budgetJigures ønd thefees thøt lhe City has pøid to Ace Parking Manøgement,
Inc. (Ace), does not paint øn accurate picture us the City asked Ace to perform duties and expend monies
outside the scope of the RFP, Thefollowíng ís a list of the main ítems requested by the City:
o Higher levels of cleanins and maintenance. In order to satisfy the City's requests for higher levels
of cleaning and maintenance, Ace maintains 6 fulltime maintenance personnel. SP only budgeted
for two fulltime maintenance persons. Ace's costs are currently 3 times higher than the amount
budgeted by SP. SP's costs would increase by approximately $112,000 annually and nearly
$600,000 over ltve years in order to maintain the City-requested level of cleaning and maintenance
currently provided by Ace.
o Parkins Ambassadors/CSRs. The City requested that Ace staff additional ambassadors/CSRs
throughout the operation. This added $185,000 to Ace's annual operating costs and nearly $950,000
over five years.
o Landscaping services. Landscaping services are run through Ace's current budget, resulting in
$85,000 in additional annual costs and nearly $425,000 over five years.
o Painting and facilitv maintenance. Such costs are run through Ace's current budget, resulting in
$27,000 in additional annual costs and over $135,000 over five years.
o Sign replacement. Sign replacement is run through Ace's current budget, resulting in $6,000 in
additional annual costs and over $30,000 over fìve years.
o Equipment rental. Rental costs for items such as, without limitation, electronic ticket issuing
devices and portable toilets, are run through Ace's current budget resulting in $45,000 in additional
annual costs and over $225,000 over five years.
o Vehicle expenses and lighting repairs. Such costs are run through Ace's current budget resulting
in $25,000 in additional annual costs and over $125,000 over five years.
Annual Value of the Extra Work Requested by the City = $ 485,000
Five-Year Value of the Extra Work Requested by the Cify : $2,490,000
Between SP's numerous RFP omissíons and the extra work requested of Ace by the City, SP's proposal
would need to be increased by at leøst 8914,500 for Year I ìn order to huve øn accurate comparíson with
Ace's current operøtions and hudget,

materials from landfill diversion;
·Implement the goals of the City’s AB 939 Plan including the Source Reduction and
Recycling Element as adopted by the City Council;
·Support the goals of the City to achieve 75%diversion by 2012 and Zero Waste by 2025,
which were adopted by City Council by establishing minimum diversion standards for roll
-off materials (50% of C&D materials and 70% of recyclables); and
·Increase the fees received from these companies from the previous material diversion
fee of $17.70 per service location to a 10%franchise fee.In FY 2014,the City received
$636,320.

LOCAL PREFERENCE
Local preference was not implemented because a franchise ordinance and the award of a non-exclusive roll-off franchise

RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends that the City Council take the following actions:
1.ADOPT the Finding of Conformity prepared for Environmental Assessment No.R-13-014/TPM
2013-03;
2.ADOPT BILL approving Rezone Application No.R-13-014 to amend the Official Zone Map to
reclassify the subject property from the R-A (Single Family Residential Agricultural)zone district
to the R-1 (Single Family Residential)zone district.If approved,Rezone Application will facilitate
approval of a proposed residential subdivision of an approximately 0.41 acre portion of the 0.61
acre subject property into three parcels in accordance with Tentative Parcel Map No. 2013-03.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This matter was first considered by the City Council on June 26,2014,and pertains to a 0.61 acre lot

File #:ID#14-491 Agenda Date:10/30/2014 Agenda #:
This matter was first considered by the City Council on June 26,2014,and pertains to a 0.61 acre lot
(26,520 square feet).Rezone Application No.R-13-14 proposes to rezone said property from the R-
A district (Residential-Agricultural zone district,minimum lot size of 36,000 square feet)to R-1
(Single-Family Residential zone district,minimum lot size of 5,000 square feet).Upon discussion of
the matter the council decided to refer the matter back to staff.
Approval of the rezone will allow the owner to complete the processing of a Tentative Parcel Map
creating a 3-lot subdivision and a remainder lot with an existing house which equates to density of
6.5 units per acre.During the meeting of June 26,2014,Council discussed options but took no
action.The proposed R-1 zoning is consistent with the current 2025 General Plan land use
designation of medium density residential,and the proposed Tentative Parcel Map would be deemed
consistent under this scenario.The only Tentative Parcel Map staff could approve would be for a 3-lot
subdivision with a remainder lot with an existing house.Allowing a 1-lot or a 2-lot subdivision would
make the project inconsistent with the required minimum density of 4.99 units per acre which the
City’s ordinance does not allow.
BACKGROUND
(See original staff report date June 26, 2014 for more project information-Exhibit 4)
The 2025 General Plan designates property as medium density residential planned land use
designation which has a density range of 4.99-10.37 units/acre.The proposed R-1 zone district is
consistent with this designation.Comparatively,a 2-lot subdivision would only create 4.92 units per
acre which is prohibited under section 12-607 of the Fresno Municipal Code.Therefore,a project
proposing fewer than 4 total lots would necessitate a general plan amendment to facilitate this option.
Land Use Plans and Policies
Objective C-15 of the 2025 Fresno General Plan states as follows:“Provide infill opportunities that
will revitalize the built-up urban core communities and neighborhoods of Fresno,provide residential
development for diverse population,and improve the overall quality of the urban environment.”The
proposed project fulfills this objective.Currently there is a single family home on a 0.60 acre parcel.
By rezoning the property consistent with the General Plan’s land use designation of Medium Density
Residential to R-1 (Single Family Residential zone district),the applicant will be able to create three
additional home sites.Therefore,it is staff’s opinion that the proposed project is consistent with the
general plan objectives and policies.
Economic Feasibility
The developer prepared a cost estimate based on the City’s requirements for the Tentative Parcel
Map which included both the construction costs and the fees charged by the City and other agencies
(see Attachment 1).The cost of construction remains the same whether a 1-lot subdivision,2-lot
subdivision or 3-lot subdivision is built.The developer’s representative estimated the cost to create a
1-lot subdivision would be $189,033.Clearly,the estimated cost can easily be distributed with more
lots being created.Therefore,from the applicant’s perspective it would be much more economically

File #:ID#14-491 Agenda Date:10/30/2014 Agenda #:
lots being created.Therefore,from the applicant’s perspective it would be much more economically
feasible to create a 3-lot subdivision than it would be to create a 1-lot or 2-lot subdivision.
Planning Commission
The Fresno City Planning Commission considered Rezone Application No R-13-014 and the related
environmental documents at its regular meeting held on May 21,2014.The Planning Commission
reviewed the staff report in accordance with the policies of the 2025 General Plan and the Roosevelt
Community Plan and called for speakers in support and in opposition to the proposed project.There
were several speakers in opposition to the rezone who based concerns about the number of lots
being created and the size of the lots.The applicant’s engineer spoke in favor of the project and
stated that three lots were needed in order to spread the cost of the improvements (curbs,gutters,
sidewalks,street lights,etc.)and the required fees (school fees,flood control fees,etc.)over three
lots rather than one or two lots.While sympathetic to the concerns of those in opposition,the
Planning Commission noted the project is an infill project and it is consistent with the 2025 General
Plan.The Planning Commission then voted unanimously to recommend approval of the Rezone to
the City Council.
ENVIROMENTAL FINDING
The Development and Resource Management Department staff have prepared an initial study and
environmental checklist and evaluated the proposed development in accordance with the land use
and environmental policies and provisions of the 2025 Fresno General Plan,the related Master
Environmental Impact Report (MEIR)No.10130 (SCH #2001071097),and Mitigated Negative
Declaration (MND)No.A-09-02 (SCH #2009051016).The subject property has been proposed to
be developed at an intensity and scale that is permitted by the Medium Density Residential planned
land use designated for the subject site.Thus,the proposed project will not facilitate an additional
intensification of uses beyond that which already exists or would be allowed by the above-noted
planned land use designation.Moreover,it is not expected that the future development will adversely
impact existing City service systems or the traffic circulation system that serves the subject property.
These infrastructure findings have been verified by the Public Works and Public Utilities
Departments.It has been further determined that all applicable mitigation measures of MEIR No.
10130 and MND No.A-09-02 have been applied to the project necessary to assure that the project
will not cause significant adverse cumulative impacts,growth inducing impacts,and irreversible
significant effects beyond those identified by MEIR No.10130 and MND No.A-09-02 as provided by
CEQA Section 15177(b)(3).
Therefore,the project proposal has been determined to be within the scope of the MEIR and MND as
defined by Section 15177 of the CEQA Guidelines and staff has properly published a Finding of
Conformity to MEIR No.10130 dated January 13,2012.In addition,after conducting a review of the
adequacy of the MEIR pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21157.6(b)(1),the Development
and Resource Management Department,as lead agency,finds that no substantial changes have
occurred with respect to the circumstances under which the MEIR was certified and the MND
adopted;and,that no new information,which was not known and could not have been known at the
City of Fresno Printed on 12/16/2022Page 3 of 4

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 or the MND was adopted, has become available.
A public notice of the attached Finding of Conformity for Environmental Assessment Application No.
R-13-014/TPM 2013-03 was published on April 4,2014,with no comments or appeals received to
date.
LOCAL PREFERNCE
This project is not subject to a bidding process.
FISCAL IMPACT
Affirmative action by the City 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.

Daniel Eisenberg, president of Irritec USA, Inc., has filed Street Name Change No. SNC-14-001
which is a request to rename the portion of East Home Avenue between North Maple Avenue and
North Backer Avenue to North Irritec Way; the portion of East Pine Avenue between North Maple
Avenue and North Backer Avenue to North Irritec Way; the portion of North Backer Avenue between
East Home Avenue and East Pine Avenue, to North Irritec Way. The applicant has proposed the
application as allowed pursuant to Section 12-1104 of the Fresno Municipal Code (FMC), which
allows the naming of streets for the purpose of honoring or calling attention to persons or places
having special prominence and significance to the culture or the history of the city.
BACKGROUND
Joe Guagliardo, representing Daniel Eisenberg and Irritec USA, Inc., has filed the subject
application which is a request to rename the portion of East Home Avenue between North Maple
Avenue and North Backer Avenue to North Irritec Way; the portion of East Pine Avenue between
North Maple Avenue and North Backer Avenue to North Irritec Way; the portion of North Backer
Avenue between East Home Avenue and East Pine Avenue, to North Irritec Way. The applicant
has proposed the project as allowed pursuant to Section 12-1104 of the FMC, which allows the
naming of streets for the purpose of honoring or calling attention to persons or places having
special prominence and significance to the culture or the history of the City. Irritec USA, Inc.,
currently operates its manufacturing and warehousing facility on approximately 18 acres of property
generally located on the east side of North Maple Avenue between East McKinley Avenue and the
East Floradora alignment.
Irritec is one of the top five irrigation manufacturers in the world serving more than 90 countries
worldwide with manufacturing facilities in Italy, Spain, Mexico, Brazil and the United States. Irritec
creates high quality irrigation products utilizing proprietary technologies in molding and extrusion
together with an internal R&D department that designs and develops new products to meet the
needs of the irrigation industry. Following the successful introduction of its products into North
America, Irritec decided to directly serve the US and Canadian markets with their state-of-the-art
products and solutions for drip irrigation. Therefore, in August of 2009 Irritec established its initial
office in Fresno.
Based on the success of that office, Irritec made the decision to establish the North American
headquarters for Irritec in Fresno, CA. To that end, Irritec purchased a 20 acre of property in
central Fresno that had been sitting vacant for many years. With the purchase of the property,
Irritec made a commitment to develop a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility and to improve the
area.
At this point in time,Irritec is manufacturing a wide variety of products on site that are sold
throughout the world.Buildings that were once eyesores have been demolished and a modern
industrial park is planned for the western portion of the property.This industrial park will provide
opportunities for new businesses to locate in Central Fresno and also create new job opportunities
in an area that has been bypassed and underserved for many years.
Irritec USA,Inc.has also been actively involved in community affairs and has contributed to several
organizations.These include Mountain Empire Men's Club (located In Pine Valley),Gymnastics
Beat,Arte Americas,California Odyssey Soccer Club,Aphesis Apostolic Ministry,and Buchanan
High School Cross Country (located in the city of Clovis).In addition,Irritec USA,is close to
finalizing documentation that will allow sponsorship of the Martin Ray Reilly Neighborhood ParkCity of Fresno Printed on 12/16/2022Page 2 of 3

finalizing documentation that will allow sponsorship of the Martin Ray Reilly Neighborhood Park
located on the east side of Chestnut Avenue,just south of State Route 180.Irritec USA,Inc.is also
in discussion with Fresno Metropolitan Ministries regarding sponsorship to their Community
Gardens program.
Planning Commission
On October 15,2014,the Fresno City Planning Commission considered the street name change,
SNC-14-001.Upon a full and complete hearing,the Planning Commission unanimously
recommended approval.
ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS
An environmental assessment was prepared for this project in accordance with the requirements of
the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines. This process included the distribution
of the project proposal for comment from other responsible or affected agencies and interested
organizations.
Environmental Assessment No. SNC-14-001, resulting in a finding of No Possibility of Significant
Adverse Effect, was prepared on July 24, 2014. That assessment found that the street name
change request was subject to the provisions of Section 15061 of the CEQA guidelines. Section
15061 of the CEQA guideline provides for the exemption of any project which will clearly have no
significant effects on the environment. Given that the proposed street name change will not result
in a physical change in the environment, staff determined that the changes will clearly have no
significant effects on the environment.
LOCAL PREFERENCE
Local preference was not considered because this street name change does not include a bid or
award of a construction or services contract.
FISCAL IMPACT
Affirmative action by the Council will result in a timely deliverance of the review and processing of the
application as is reasonably expected by the applicant and or customer.Prudent financial
management is demonstrated by the expeditious completion of this land use application inasmuch as
the applicant and/or customer has paid to the City a fee for the processing of this application and that
the fee is,in turn,funding the respective operations of the Development and Resource Management
Department.

PROJECT LOCATION: The portion of East Home Avenue between North Maple Avenue and North
Backer Avenue; the portion of East Pine Avenue between North Maple
Avenue and North Backer Avenue; The portion of North Backer Avenue
between East Home Avenue and East Pine Avenue. (APN: 453-160-02)
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant proposes to rename the portion of East Home Avenue
between North Maple Avenue and North Backer Avenue; the portion of East
Pine Avenue between North Maple Avenue and North Backer Avenue; The
portion of North Backer Avenue between East Home Avenue and East Pine
Avenue, to North Irritec way.
This project is exempt under Section 15061 (B) (3) of the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) Guidelines. None of the exceptions to Categorical Exemptions set forth in the CEQA
Guidelines, section 15300.2 apply to this project.
EXPLANATION: The State Guidelines for the implementation of the California Environmental
Quality Act provide for the exemption of projects which will clearly have no
significant effect on the environment. More specifically, Section
15061 (B) (3) of the CEQA Guidelines states: “…CEQA applies only to
projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the
environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility
that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment,
the activity is not subject to CEQA.”
Given that the proposed street name change will not cause a physical
change to the environment, it has been determined that the above-
referenced project falls within the purview of Section 15061 (b) (3) and is,
therefore, exempt from CEQA.

Selection Committee comprised of three Councilmembers, the Mayor and staff reviewed and
evaluated the proposals through an in-depth two stage process. At the conclusion, the Review
Committee selected The Noyan Company/TFS Investments LLC. The Noyan/TFS proposal envisions
a phased development that features housing, retail, office and entertainment in a diverse mix. The
preliminary concept initiates phase 1 with residential over retail and parking in a multi-story building
at the northwest corner of Inyo and Fulton.
The Review Committee is recommending that the City Council and Successor Agency formally
decline further consideration of the two remaining respondents and select The Noyan Company/TFS
Investments LLC for the purpose of due diligence for a 120 day period. The due diligence phase is
intended to further examine the details of the proposed development and necessary financing. If the
due diligence phase results in a recommendation to proceed to a development agreement, such
agreement will be brought to the Council and Successor Agency for consideration and approval.
