RESOLUTION - Rescinding Resolution 2006-472 and removing UUD FRE-87 from the current Three
Year Plan (Council District 3)
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends City Council adopt the attached Resolution rescinding Resolution 2006-472.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Rescinding Resolution 2006-472 will remove a beautification district,as designated by Pacific Gas
and Electric (PG&E),from the current Three-Year Plan due to shifts in priority and funding.It is FRE-
87 located on Orange Avenue between North Avenue and State Route 99.The district is being
rescinded due to shifts in available funds to construct the City’s portion of the underground district.
This action will unencumber Rule 20A funds so that they will be available for areas with higher priority
and available funding.
BACKGROUND
The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC)Rule 20A requires that PG&E allocate funds for
the underground placement of existing overhead electrical facilities.These funds accrue to PG&E
from all rate payers as part of their monthly bill,and are strictly reserved to underground overhead
facilities in approved Underground Utility Districts (UUDs).Specific UUDs are formed by City
Council action at noticed public hearings using criteria established by CPUC Rule 20A:
1.Such undergrounding will avoid or eliminate an unusually heavy concentration of

File #:ID#14-538 Agenda Date:12/4/2014 Agenda #:1-A
1.Such undergrounding will avoid or eliminate an unusually heavy concentration of
overhead electric facilities;
2.The street or road or right-of-way is extensively used by the general public and
carries a heavy volume of pedestrian or vehicular traffic;
3.The street or road or right-of-way adjoins or passes through a civic area or
public recreation area or an area of unusual scenic interest to the general
public;
4.The street or road or right-of-way is considered an arterial street or major
collector as defined in the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research
General Plan Guidelines.
Underground installation of PG&E overhead electrical facilities are funded by funds set aside
pursuant to the CPUC Rule 20A.The Rule 20A specifically identifies funding for undergrounding
existing overhead utilities only.The other utility companies provide the funding to convert their
existing overhead facilities to underground.
The formation of the UUD requires utility companies to convert their existing overhead facilities to
underground service.The formation of the UUD also requires affected property owners to modify
their existing overhead services to accept utility service from the underground facilities.
Rescinding Resolution 2006-472 will remove a beautification district,as designated by PG&E,from
the current Three-Year Plan due to shifts in priority and funding.It is FRE-87,located on Orange
Avenue between North Avenue and State Route 99.The UUD is being rescinded due to shifts in
available funds to construct the City’s portion of the underground district.This action will
unencumber Rule 20A funds so that they will be available for areas with higher priority and available
funding.
This Resolution has been approved as to form by the City Attorney’s Office.
ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS
By the definition provided in the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines Section 15378 this
item does not qualify as a “project”and is therefore exempt from the California Environmental
Quality Act requirements.
LOCAL PREFERENCE
Local preference was not implemented because rescinding a resolution does not include a bid or an
award of a construction or services contract.
FISCAL IMPACT
There will be no impact to the City’s General Fund.

a.Shields Avenue Wireless Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) between West Avenue and
Chestnut Avenue (CML 5060(201))
b.ITS Friant Road-Nees Avenue-Palm Avenue Project (CML 5060(200))
c.Traffic Signal at Peach Avenue and Church Avenue intersection (SR2SL-5060(222) (Council

encumber grant funds and allow eligible project costs to be reimbursed;and to authorize the Public
Works Director or his designee to sign the request on behalf of the City.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Caltrans has notified the City of Fresno that three projects have unexpended grant funds that will be
timing out.The projects are the Shields Avenue Wireless ITS between West Avenue and Chestnut
Avenue;ITS Friant Road-Nees Avenue-Palm Avenue,traffic signal at Peach Avenue and Church
Avenue intersection.The projects have been delayed due to factors beyond staff’s control.Because
of the delays,staff is unable to encumber the cost and invoice and obtain reimbursement prior to the
April 30,2015,deadline.To request an extension of time to encumber grant funds,Caltrans requires
concurrence by the City Council.

BACKGROUND
On October 14,2014,Caltrans notified the City of Fresno that the following projects’funds are
lapsing on June 30,2015,if close out packages or invoices are not submitted by April 30,2015 for
three grant projects.Staff has determined that these projects will not be able to expend the lapsing
funds nor submit close out packages by the April 30,2015,deadline.These projects are currently in
different phases of construction and preliminary engineering and will continue to incur costs.By
requesting a CWA, the City will be able to recoup expenses that are project related.
The Shields Avenue Wireless ITS between West Avenue and Chestnut Avenue (CML 5060(201))is in
the final phase of the design.Staff is currently in the process of preparing general construction
specifications so that the project can be advertised for bid.It is anticipated that the project will start
advertisement in December 2014 with anticipated Council award in January/February 2015.
The design for ITS Friant Road-Nees Avenue-Palm Avenue is ongoing (CML 5060(200)).At this time
the design is approximately 90%complete and a draft construction specification has been prepared.
It is anticipated that the design of the project will not be completed until spring of 2015,which will be
after the Caltrans deadline.
The traffic signal at Peach Avenue and Church Avenue (SR2SL-5060(222))has been completed.
However,the grant requires the City to provide bicycle safety education and staff has been working
with the principal of Edith B.Storey Elementary to secure a time.Due to the upcoming holidays and
other events on the school calendar,staff has not yet been able to secure a date to conduct the
necessary safety education.Staff anticipates the safety education event will occur in Spring 2015,
after the April 30,2015,deadline.The CWA with Caltrans is necessary for the City to be able to
recoup the cost of the educational safety event required by the grant.
ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS
By the definition provided in the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines Section 15378, this
item does not qualify as a “project” for the purposes of the California Environmental Quality Act.
LOCAL PREFERENCE
Local preference was not implemented because the item does not include a competitive bid.
FISCAL IMPACT
The total unspent grant funding is $52,224 for the Congestion Mitigation Air Quality (CMAQ)program
while there is $33,695 in the Safe Route to School grant.If the City does not request a CWA with
Caltrans or the CWA is rejected,the City will be required to backfill these amounts utilizing other
City’s funds. Approval of the CWA will avoid any loss of grant funding.

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
December 4, 2014
FROM:THOMAS C. ESQUEDA, Director
Department of Public Utilities
BY:MARTIN A. QUERIN, PE, Assistant Director
Department of Public Utilities - Water Division
SUBJECT
Approve the acquisition of temporary construction easement from Frances M. Ricchiuti and Patrick V.
Ricchiuti for APN 581-040-02S
RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends that City Council:
1.Approve the acquisition of temporary construction easement as shown in the Table below for the
construction of the Raw Water Pipeline from the Friant-Kern Canal to the Northeast Surface
Water Treatment Facility.
2.Authorize the Director of Public Utilities,or his designee,to sign all documents on behalf of the
City.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Department of Public Utilities,Water Division,is finalizing the design of the Friant Kern Raw
Water Pipeline to deliver raw water from the Friant-Kern Canal to the Northeast Surface Water
Treatment Facility (NESWTF).With bidding scheduled to begin in late 2015,acquisition of
easements for this pipeline project is necessary.The property owners Frances M.Ricchiuti and
Patrick V.Ricchiuti have agreed to the compensation of $550/year for the acquisition of temporary
construction easements (see attachment Table 1).
BACKGROUND
Presently,the City's contract with the United States Bureau of Reclamation (USBR)for Central Valley
Project (CVP)surface water travels nearly 55 miles in open canals from Friant Dam (Millerton Lake)
City of Fresno Printed on 12/16/2022Page 1 of 3
powered by Legistar™
File #:ID#14-618 Agenda Date:12/4/2014 Agenda #:1-C
Project (CVP)surface water travels nearly 55 miles in open canals from Friant Dam (Millerton Lake)
to the NESWTF.The proposed Project consists of the construction and operation of a 5.6-mile raw
water pipeline.The new pipeline reroutes the CVP water directly to the NESWTF and will eliminate
nearly 47 miles from the conveyance distance.The Project will convey water in an enclosed system
and greatly reduce the threat to water quality,in otherwise open canals which are exposed to
contamination from environmental debris,and accidental or malicious acts.The pipeline will be
constructed across numerous properties in unincorporated Fresno County and connected to the
existing one-mile long segment of pipeline constructed in 2007.Additional benefits of the project
include reduced power consumption,chemical utilization,and increased operational reliability at the
NESWTF.
ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS
An initial study and Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared and adopted on June 14,2012 for
this project.A Notice of Determination was subsequently filed with the Fresno County Clerk’s Office
on June 19,2012.The Proposed Project consists of the construction and operation of a 5.6-mile raw
water supply pipeline northeast of the City of Fresno,in unincorporated Fresno County at the City's
existing Surface Water Treatment Facility (SWTF).The Proposed Project would be located between
the SWTF near Chestnut and Behymer Avenues and the Friant-Kern Canal to the northeast.The
purpose of the Proposed Project is to develop a reliable raw water conveyance system with reduced
potential for water quality contamination that will bring the City's existing CVP contract supply water
directly from the Friant-Kern Canal to the SWTF. This approval is to implement that project.
An analysis has been performed pursuant CEQA Guidelines §15162 to determine whether
subsequent environmental review is required for the project.Based upon this analysis the following
findings are made to support the determination that no subsequent environmental review is required:
1.No substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions of the
previous Mitigated Negative Declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental
effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects.In this case
there are no changes to the project.
2.No substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is
undertaken which will require major revisions of the previous Mitigated Negative Declaration due to
the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of
previously identified significant effects.In this case,the proposed pipeline alignment has not
changed.
3.There is no new information,which was not known and could not have been known at the time of
the previous Mitigated Negative Declaration that the project will have significant effect not discussed
in the Mitigated Negative Declaration.
Based upon these findings,it has been determined that no further environmental documentation is
required for this project.
LOCAL PREFERENCE
Local Preference was not considered because this action does not include a bid or an award of a City

construction or services contract.
FISCAL IMPACT
Approving acquisition of these easements will not impact the General Fund.Appropriations for the
acquisition of these easements are included in Water Division’s FY 2015 Capital Improvement
Program budget within the 2010 Water Revenue Bonds A-1 Fund (40118).Project construction is
expected to start in mid-year 2015.

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
December 4, 2014
FROM:THOMAS C. ESQUEDA, Director
Department of Public Utilities
BY:MARTIN A. QUERIN, PE, Assistant Director
Department of Public Utilities - Water Division
SUBJECT
Approve the acquisition of permanent pipeline right-of-way easements and temporary construction
easements from Thelma Becker and Knox Blasingame for APN 581-010-14 and APN 581-010-15
RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends that City Council:
1.Approve the acquisition of permanent pipeline right-of-way and temporary construction easement
as shown in the Table below for the construction of the Raw Water Pipeline from the Friant-Kern
Canal to the Northeast Surface Water Treatment Facility (NESWTF).
2.Authorize the Director of Public Utilities,or his designee,to sign all documents on behalf of the
City.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Department of Public Utilities,Water Division,is finalizing the design of the Friant Kern Raw
Water Pipeline to deliver raw water from the Friant-Kern Canal to the NESWTF.With bidding
scheduled to begin in late 2015,acquisition of easements for this pipeline project is necessary.The
property owners Thelma Becker and Knox Blasingame have agreed to the compensation of $41,550
for the acquisition of permanent pipeline rights-of-way and $3,130/year for the acquisition of
temporary construction easements (see attachment Table 1).
BACKGROUND
Presently,the City's contract with the United States Bureau of Reclamation (USBR)for Central Valley
Project (CVP)surface water travels nearly 55 miles in open canals from Friant Dam (Millerton Lake)
to the NESWTF.The proposed Project consists of the construction and operation of a 5.6-mile raw
City of Fresno Printed on 12/16/2022Page 1 of 3
powered by Legistar™
File #:ID#14-619 Agenda Date:12/4/2014 Agenda #:1-D
to the NESWTF.The proposed Project consists of the construction and operation of a 5.6-mile raw
water pipeline.The new pipeline reroutes the CVP water directly to the NESWTF and will eliminate
nearly 47 miles from the conveyance distance.The Project will convey water in an enclosed system
and greatly reduce the threat to water quality in otherwise open canals which are exposed to
contamination from environmental debris,and accidental or malicious acts.The pipeline will be
constructed across numerous properties in unincorporated Fresno County and connected to the
existing one-mile long segment of pipeline constructed in 2007.Additional benefits of the project
include reduced power consumption,chemical utilization,and increased operational reliability at the
NESWTF.
ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS
An initial study and Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared and adopted on June 14,2012 for
this project.A Notice of Determination was subsequently filed with the Fresno County Clerk’s Office
on June 19,2012.The Proposed Project consists of the construction and operation of a 5.6-mile raw
water supply pipeline northeast of the City of Fresno,in unincorporated Fresno County at the City's
existing Surface Water Treatment Facility (SWTF).The Proposed Project would be located between
the SWTF near Chestnut and Behymer Avenues and the Friant-Kern Canal to the northeast.The
purpose of the Proposed Project is to develop a reliable raw water conveyance system with reduced
potential for water quality contamination that will bring the City's existing Central Valley Project (CVP)
contract supply water directly from the Friant-Kern Canal to the SWTF.This approval is to implement
that project.
An analysis has been performed pursuant CEQA Guidelines §15162 to determine whether
subsequent environmental review is required for the project.Based upon this analysis the following
findings are made to support the determination that no subsequent environmental review is required:
1.No substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions of the
previous Mitigated Negative Declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental
effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects.In this case
there are no changes to the project.
2.No substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is
undertaken which will require major revisions of the previous Mitigated Negative Declaration due to
the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of
previously identified significant effects.In this case,the proposed pipeline alignment has not
changed.
3.There is no new information,which was not known and could not have been known at the time of
the previous Mitigated Negative Declaration that the project will have significant effect not discussed
in the Mitigated Negative Declaration.
Based upon these findings,it has been determined that no further environmental documentation is
required for this project.
LOCAL PREFERENCE

construction or services contract.
FISCAL IMPACT

acquisition of these easements are included in Water Division’s FY 2015 Capital Improvement
Program budget within the 2010 Water Revenue Bonds A-1 Fund (40118).Project construction is
expected to start in mid-year 2015.

Street:
1.Adopt a finding of a categorical exemption pursuant to class 1/15301(c) (existing facilities) of
CEQA Guidelines
2.Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute a grant deed for the sale of excess
property in the amount of $326,800.00 to Baltara Enterprises LP located on Santa Fe Avenue
between Mono Street and Inyo Street APN 468-167-01T

Baltara Enterprises LP is in the first of three phases of developing the “Warehouse Row Project”at
744 “P”Street,which is across the street from the Santa Fe lot.The developer has signed a long
term lease with the U.S.Customs and Immigration Service as the anchor tenant with an occupancy
date of May 1,2015.In search of a parking lot which can accommodate phase 1 as well as future

Baltara Enterprises LP pending concurrence by the City Council.

BACKGROUND
The City of Fresno acquired the Santa Fe lot from the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad several
years ago.The City improved the property with a light coat of asphalt and used the lot as a
temporary parking facility.Three years ago,the City had planned to transfer ownership to the
Redevelopment Agency (“RDA”)and the RDA in turn was to sign a long term lease with Baltara
Enterprises LP.Just prior to consummating the deal,the RDA was ordered to be phased out by
Governor Brown and the transaction stalled.Needing the parking as a vital component to the
“Warehouse Row Project,”Baltara Enterprises then asked if the City was interested in selling the lot.
Since the City had no future plans for the property,both parties agreed to an independent MAI
appraisal which was performed by Dave Hamilton.A purchase price of $4.50 per square foot was
agreed to and the buyer is paying all cash and is accepting the property in “as is”condition.The
subject property is free of any liens or bonds and the proceeds are expected to be deposited into the
General Fund as Parking Services Division revenue.The City Attorney has reviewed and approved
the purchase and sale agreement along with the grant deed as to form.
ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS
The project falls within the Class 1 Categorical Exemption set forth in CEQA Guidelines,section
15301(c)as the subject property had been used as a parking lot by the City of Fresno and the new
owner intends to use the parcel for the same purpose.Furthermore,none of the exceptions to
Categorical Exemptions set forth in the CEQA Guidelines, section 15300.2 apply to this project.
LOCAL PREFERENCE
N/A
FISCAL IMPACT
The City of Fresno will net $326,800.00 from the sale of the property.It is anticipated those funds
shall be returned to the General Fund as Parking Services Division revenue.

SUBJECT
Consideration of approval of Measure “C” Cooperative Agreement for the Herndon Avenue
westbound widening from Brawley Avenue to Blythe Avenue (Council District 2)
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that Council approve the Measure “C”Cooperative Agreement for Herndon
Avenue Westbound Widening from Brawley Avenue to Blythe Avenue (Urban Project K5C)and
authorize the Public Works Director or designee to sign and execute the agreement on behalf of the
City.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City of Fresno (City)seeks to widen westbound Herndon Avenue from Brawley Avenue to Blythe
Avenue.The City and Fresno County Transportation Authority (FCTA)need to execute the Measure
“C”Cooperative Agreement in order that the regional Measure “C”funds may be utilized on the
project.
BACKGROUND
The City seeks to widen westbound Herndon Avenue from Brawley Avenue to Blythe Avenue.
Eastbound Herndon Avenue was previously widened as a separate project due to limited funding
available by the State.Westbound widening would bring this segment of Herndon Avenue into
conformance with 6-lane expressway designation thereby relieving congestion and reducing delays.

File #:ID#14-630 Agenda Date:12/4/2014 Agenda #:1-F
conformance with 6-lane expressway designation thereby relieving congestion and reducing delays.
The City and FCTA need to execute the Measure “C”Cooperative Agreement in order that the
regional Measure “C”funds may be utilized on this project.The cooperative agreement,along with
Federal Surface Transportation Program (STP)dollars will allow the project to become fully funded.
Staff recommends Council approve the Measure “C”Cooperative Agreement for Herndon Avenue
Westbound Widening from Brawley Avenue to Blythe Avenue (Urban Project K5C).
Approval of the attached cooperative agreement is only for the purpose of project funding.Staff will
return to Council for adoption of the associated CEQA document,approval of right-of-way
acquisition agreements,requests for budget appropriations and for award of construction contracts
as required for the project.
The City Attorney’s Office has reviewed and approved as to form the proposed agreement.
ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS
By the definition provided by the California Environmental Quality Act Guideline (CEQA)section
15378, this item does not qualify as a “project” for the purpose of the CEQA.
LOCAL PREFERENCE
Local preference was not implemented because a cooperative agreement does not include a
competitive bid.
FISCAL IMPACT
Implementation of the staff recommendation will have no impact upon the City’s General Fund.The
project is being funded by regional Measure “C” Tier 1 and Federal STP funding.

Actions pertaining to a sale of a portion of excess property in the San Joaquin River bottom just east
of Fig Garden Golf Course:
1. Adopt a finding of a categorical exemption pursuant to Class 1, Section 15301(c) (existing
facilities) of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) Guidelines
2. Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute a grant deed for the sale of a portion of excess
property in the amount of $25,000.00 to Michael and Jeanne Adams located on the former Fresno
Traction Company right of way, now known as River Bottom Road, just east of Fig Garden Golf
Course in the San Joaquin River bottom APN 405-030-XR
RECOMMENDATION
To approve the sale of 0.315 acres of excess City property located in the San Joaquin River bottom
just east of Fig Garden Golf Course to Michael and Jeanne Adams for $25,000.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Michael and Jeanne Adams attempted to purchase the property located on the former Fresno
Traction Company right of way,now known as River Bottom Road,just east of Fig Garden Golf
Course in the San Joaquin River bottom APN 405-030-XR (“Property”)from Fresno County years
ago,but the County instead sold the property to the City of Fresno in 1991.It has since sat unused
and vacant.Due to individuals loitering and recent fires,one of which burned down the house of the
Adams’neighbor,the Adams approached the City about purchasing a portion of the right of way
which abuts the back of their existing property.Staff agreed to sell the Property to the Adams for the
City of Fresno Printed on 12/16/2022Page 1 of 2

internal appraised price of $25,000, pending approval by the City Council.
BACKGROUND
The Fresno Traction Company operated trolley cars in and around Fresno from 1904 to 1939.River
Bottom Road was a trolley line which transported the public to an amusement park operated in the
area.After the amusement park folded and the Fresno Traction Company went out of business,the
Property was transferred to Fresno County.In 1991,the City of Fresno acquired the Property from
Fresno County for $17,000.Over the next 20+years the Property sat unused and the foliage began
accumulating.In 2011,the area experienced a series of fires allegedly set by pedestrians who were
loitering along the old right of way.Concerned by the threat to neighboring homes,Michael and
Jeanne Adams offered to purchase a portion of the old rail bed from the City of Fresno for an internal
appraised price of $25,000.The Adams plan to acquire only the portion that abuts their property,
reduce the fire danger by cutting back some of the overgrown foliage and take the necessary
precautions to keep people from loitering.The Property is free of any liens or bonds and the
proceeds will be deposited into the General Fund.The City Attorney has reviewed and approved the
purchase and sale agreement along with the grant deed as to form.
ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS
The project falls within the Class 1 Categorical Exemption set forth in the CEQA Guidelines,Section
15301(c)as the subject property has been vacant for decades and the new owners are not intending
to improve the property once escrow closes.Furthermore,none of the exceptions to the Categorical
Exemptions set forth in the CEQA Guidelines, Section 15300.2 apply to this project.
LOCAL PREFERENCE
Local preference was not considered because the City’s sale of the Property does not include a bid
or award of a construction or services contract.
FISCAL IMPACT
The City of Fresno will net approximately $25,000 of General Fund revenue from the sale of the
Property.

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
December 4, 2014
FROM:BRIAN MARSHALL, Director
Department of Transportation
BY:JEFF LONG, Planning Coordinator II
Department of Transportation
SUBJECT
Award a five-year revenue contract for bus advertising services to Lamar Transit Advertising for
$2,000,000 (RFP No. 9301)
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends Council award a five-year revenue contract to Lamar Transit Advertising for
$2,000,000 for bus advertising services.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Department of Transportation (“DOT”)/Fresno Area Express has contracted for bus advertising
services since 2001.The current contract is with Lamar Transit Advertising (Lamar),which expired
on August 27,2014.The revenue from the advertising contract is received by the DOT and is used
to fund the cost of providing public transportation services.Based on the terms of the contract,
Lamar will guarantee minimum annual payments of $400,000 for exterior bus advertising services.
All advertisements,before being placed on a bus,are subject to review and approval by the Director
of the DOT or designee.
BACKGROUND
In 1999,staff was directed to evaluate bus advertising as a potential revenue source.From this
evaluation,a determination was made to enter into a contract for exterior bus advertising that
provided a minimum revenue guarantee.Since this time the department has received more than $3
million from bus advertising.These revenues are used to fund the cost of providing public
transportation services.
On August 27,2014,a Notice Inviting Bids was advertised in the Business Journal and posted on the
City of Fresno website.One bid proposal was received and opened on September 30,2014.Other

powered by Legistar™
File #:ID#14-580 Agenda Date:12/4/2014 Agenda #:2-A
City of Fresno website.One bid proposal was received and opened on September 30,2014.Other
potential proposers chose not to provide a bid,citing high guaranteed revenue as a reason for not
submitting bids.The bid proposal received by Lamar guarantees an annual minimum payment of
$400,000 and included interior bus advertising, as well as schedule guides.
In addition,Lamar will prepay the contract revenue guarantee at the beginning of each contract year.
The contract will be in effect for an initial period of five years,with provisions for two additional one-
year extensions.
ENVIRONMENTAL FINDING
By the definition provided in the California Environmental Quality Guidelines Section 15378, this item
does not qualify as a “project”; therefore, it is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act
requirements.
LOCAL PREFERENCE
Local Preference was not implemented because the DOT fleet of buses,which are used for
advertising, are federally-funded.
FISCAL IMPACT
Revenue from bus advertising was included in the Department’s Fiscal Year 2015 Budget.

executive and administrative management; maintenance of advertisement; customer
relations; preparation of reports of financial and other matters pertaining to the operation

COMMITTEE NOTES
Evaluation committee members were in agreement that this proposer is capable of
providing the City of Fresno with professional bus advertising services. The selection
was based this proposer’s submittal and their past performance with this contract for the
City of Fresno.
With only one proposal, the committee members submitted their ranking sheets after
careful review of the proposer’s submittal. All of the members felt that Lamar’s past
performance spoke for itself having a good history with the City of Fresno on delivery of
past contractual requirements.
There were three other potential bidders that attended the pre -bid either in person or via
telephone. Once the proposals were opened, the potential bidders were contacted to
inquire why they did not submit a proposal. Both Time & Space Media and Rethought
Reborn felt that the guaranteed revenue asked for by the City of Fresno was too much
for their small companies to guarantee, especially in light of our economy. Direct Media
felt that bringing their company to Fresno didn’t warrant the startup capital required on
what they felt wasn’t enough revenue generated from this contract.
LAMAR TRANSIT LLC
Lamar Transit is a publicly owned advertising company founded in 1902. They manage
close to 70 transit advertising programs across North America. They are the current
contractors for this contract and have been since 2007.
RECOMMENDATION:
The committee unanimously agrees that Lamar Transit LLC will be able to provide the
most effective and professional Bus Advertising Services based on their proposal and
past experience with the City of Fresno. Therefore, the committee recommends that
Lamar Transit LLC be awarded the Bus Advertising Services contract.

Re: Proposed Regulations
Dear Madam Attomey Genæal and Mr. Quint:
This letter pertains to the regulation proposed by the Bureau of Gambling Control, which mandate the
collection of fees of all card room customers. It is our opinion that this proposed regulation creates an
artificial and unfair coørpetitive disadvantage for card rooms. ff implernented, we believe that this
regulation will have a destrr¡ctive impact upon the card room industry at tåe state and local level.
The idea of mandating the collection of fces has beeri discussed for several years. While this idea has
failed in the forrr of legislæion in both 2013 and 2014, this same idea is now being proposed as an
ammdment to Section 2071 (Gaming Activþ Authorization) of the California Code of Regulations.t A
vast majority of California ca¡d rooms (both large and small) oppose the proposed rcgulation (as well as
the prior legislation) because of the detrímental impact such regulations would have on their businesses.
Specifically, this language favors the extraordinarily large card rooms (only 2 or 3 c¿rd rooms in the State
are supporting this legislation) in a ma¡ke in which smaller card rooms will be unable to compete.
It is understood that one of the major differences betweEn play in a card club and play in a tribal casino is
that hibal casinos can have banl/perc€ntage gamë1 whereas card clubs cannot because they are
¡Tirte ll. Division 3.c:hryta l. Article I
The Honorable Kamala D. Harris
Mr. Wayne Quint
December 1,2014

prohibited from having an interest in the outcome of a card garrre.'As a result, card room revenue is
generated numerous other ways, one of which is the collection of a player fee. Currently, this is not a
mandated fee, as Section 337 j(Ð of the Penal Code allows for a card room to waive this fee. Instead of
collecting from each player, fees a¡e charged to players serving in the player-dealer position (i.e., the third
party proposition player). For over 10 years, this policy has allowed for market factors to dictate where a
collection is feasible. This policy has allowed for competition throughout Califomia.
We believe that any of the three (3) fee options in the proposed regulation would be materially damaging
to the card room industry. 3 Again, regional market factors will inevitabty dictate where a collection is
feasible and where a collection is not. It is our opinion that these mandated fees create a competitive
advantage fo¡ the largest card rooms in the larger ma¡kets. The proximity of smaller card rooms to either
larger clubs or tribal casinos combined with the mandated fee will negatively impact smaller card clubs as
it will be pragmafically impossible for the smaller clubs to be competitive in that ma¡ket.
The current rules protect the industry and also create the competition the industry should have. The ability
to waive a fee is important for the smaller card rooms, and we do not believe there to be a downside to
allowing the fee to be waived as a result. The proposed regulation ignores the realities of the card room
industry, and we believe the anti-competitive sentiment underlying those options and the entire proposal
is clear.
Further, this proposed regulation does not take into account the impact on the vast majority of card rooms
and local jurisdictions. For example, in the City of Fresno, the impact this regulation is likely to have is as
follows:
o 80% of Club One Casino's gaming activity affected, which increases prices to recreational
players
70-80% reduction in Club One taxable revenue ($8-$10 million)
250¡00 living wage jobs lost in downtown Fresno
$800,000+ annual decrease to City of Fresno General Fund
Detrimental impact on local vendors and non-profits
2 Penal Code Section 330.11 provides that banked games do not include those games where the published rules
feature a player-dealer position provided that the opportunity to serve as the player-dealer position is continuously
and systematically rotated amongst each of the players of the game at the table.
3 The proposal includes th¡ee (3) options for the collection of fees, all ofwhich are problematic for the card room
industry. Option I assesses the fee based on a 3: I ratio; the fee assessed shall not be less than one-third of the
amount of the fee assessed to the player dealer in each hand or round of play, Option 2, if more than one fee is taken
per table, the increase rate shall not increase by more than the amount of the lowest fee. Option 3 would result in all
players, including the player-dealer, being charged the same fee for the same level of wager.

Statewide, this proposal is also likely to have an enormously negative inrpact as well:
o Thousands of living wagejobs lost
r Millions of local General Fund reveriue lost
o Detrimental to local economies
. Reduces the value of state coffers (redistributes torable revenue to non-taxpayers)
o Less competition in the industry
o Punishes small busine*ses and ganeral gaming public
Given the impact that we beliwe this regulation wíll have at the state and local lwel, there does not
appear to be a valid reason for this regulæion to be irrplernented- This regulation will r¡ndo lGÞ years of
sound policy by mandating that each card mom charge customers a fee. This will have the effect of
rastricting a card room's ability to recapfi¡rc costs and value ftom its rotating bank games. The California
card room industry is a billion dollar industry and ernploys 20,000 Californians state wide. The significat
contribution to local economies cannot be rmderstated. For example, between city and state taxes, Club
One Casino contn'butes $1 million annuallyto the CityofFresno genenal fund ($20 Million since 1995).
Statewide, this number is over 5200 Million
lWhile this proposal may be phrased (without merit) in zuch a manner as to sugg€st that more rsvenue
would be brought in, a mandatory fee will unequivocally deterpeople from playing at these
establishments, If players are now charged a fee forthe 70-80% of controlled games impactd it is
probable that those players will go play where they do not get chcged (i.e. a tribal casino), i.e., you get
more bang for your buck if you don't have to utilize your mmies for a collection fee. We beliwe the text
of the proposal ignores the realities of how this industry has come to work, and while we r¡ndcnstand the
nced for the industry to evolve and improve, we do not believe this is the manner in which it should.

Master Environmental Impact Report (MEIR)No.10130 and the Mitigated Negative Declaration
for Plan Amendment A-09-02 (Air Quality MND)prepared for Environmental Assessment No.

2.***RESOLUTION of Public Use and Necessity for the acquisition of a street easement for
the construction of intersection improvements at Shields Avenue and Fowler Avenue and public
road purposes from Assessor’s Parcel Number 496-192-10s owned by Forest Sunrise, LLC.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a Resolution of Public Use and Necessity,to
authorize acquisition by eminent domain,and to adopt a mitigated negative declaration to acquire
street right-of-way for intersection improvements at Shields Avenue and Fowler Avenue through
and across real property owned by Forest Sunrise, LLC, (APN 496-192-10s) in the City of Fresno.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
City of Fresno Printed on 12/16/2022Page 1 of 4
powered by Legistar™
File #:ID#14-633 Agenda Date:12/4/2014 Agenda #:
The intersection of Shields and Fowler needs to be widened to accommodate the current and
future traffic volumes.All of the corners except for the southwest have been widened and
improved.Property on the southwest corner of the intersection needs to be acquired to complete
the improvements.This work is a capital improvement project being performed by the Public
Works Department.
City staff has not been able to negotiate a purchase agreement with the landowner,Forest
Sunrise,LLC.The land needed was appraised by Hamilton Associates who set the value at
$75,800.An offer for this amount was presented to the property owner’s representative on
January 23,2014.He has not returned phone calls or responded to letters or emails to finalize the
negotiations.
It is necessary to commence the eminent domain action at this time so that possession of the
required acquisitions can be obtained.The order of possession process usually takes four to nine
months to conclude.Staff recommends Council adopt the recommended Resolution of Public Use
and Necessity which authorizes the City Attorney to initiate an eminent domain action and obtain
an order of possession of the property.It requires five votes for approval and is subject to veto by
the Mayor.
BACKGROUND
The City proposes to construct an additional east bound travel lane and bike lane along East
Shields Avenue for a distance of 650 feet heading west from North Fowler Avenue.The City will
also construct southbound travel lane and bike lane along North Fowler Avenue for a distance of
525 feet heading south from Shields Avenue.The project also includes constructing curb and
gutter on the south side of East Shields Avenue and the west sided of North Fowler Avenue.The
project further includes the installation of a curb ramp at the southwest corner of East Shields
Avenue and North Fowler Avenues,the modification and relocation of the existing traffic signal on
this corner,and the installation of a bus bay along North Fowler Avenue,just south of the corner.
The City Attorney’s Office has reviewed and approved as to form the proposed Resolution of
Necessity.
ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS
Development and Resource Management Department staff has prepared an initial study of the
above-described project and it has been determined to be a subsequent project that is fully within
the scope of the Master Environmental Impact Report (MEIR)No.10130 (SCH #2001071097),and
Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND)No.A-09-02 (SCH #200951016)(Air Quality MND).
Therefore,the Development and Resource Management Department proposes to adopt a Finding
of Conformity for this project.
With the mitigation imposed,there is no substantial evidence in the record that this project may
have additional significant,direct,indirect or cumulative effects on the environment that are
significant and that were not identified and analyzed in the MEIR or Air Quality MND.After
conducting a review of the adequacy of the MEIR and Air Quality MND pursuant to Public
Resources Code,Section 21157.6(b)(1),the Development and Resource Management
Department,as lead agency finds that no substantial changes have occurred with respect to theCity of Fresno Printed on 12/16/2022Page 2 of 4
powered by Legistar™
File #:ID#14-633 Agenda Date:12/4/2014 Agenda #:
Department,as lead agency finds that no substantial changes have occurred with respect to the
circumstances under which the MEIR was certified and the Air Quality MND was adopted and that
no new information,which was not known and could not have been known at the time that the
MEIR was certified as complete and the Air Quality MND was adopted,has become available.The
project is not located on a site which is included on any of the lists enumerated under Section
62962.5 of the Government Code including,but not limited to,lists of hazardous waste facilities,
land designated as hazardous wasted property,hazardous waste disposal sites and others,and the
information in the Hazardous Waste and Substances statement required under subdivision (f)of
that Section.
The legal description and a sketch of the easement to be acquired is shown as Exhibits “A”on the
attached Resolution of Public Use and Necessity,which has been prepared and approved by the
City Attorney’s Office, with findings as follows:
1.The public interest and necessity require the proposed project.
The widening of the Fowler Avenue and Shields Avenue intersection to provide for
east bound travel and bike lane along E.Shields Avenue and to provide south
bound travel and bike lanes along S.Fowler Avenue.These improvements will
significantly improve the flow of traffic through the intersection.These
improvements will result in fewer delays and improve air quality for the area.
2.The proposed project is planned in a manner that will be most compatible
with the greatest public good and the least private injury.
This project will improve deficient local circulation network that does not
adequately accommodate local development and provide consistency with
existing and planned local and regional development.The project cannot be
constructed without acquiring this acquisition for permanent street easements and
rights-of-way being sought.
3.The property is necessary for the proposed project.
It is necessary to acquire the subject property in order to construct the needed
travel and bike lanes along Fowler and Shields Avenues which will improve the
circulation pattern at this intersection.
4.An offer to purchase the required street easement has been made pursuant
to Section 7267.2 of the Government Code.
A written offer of the full appraised fair market value has been delivered (January
23,2014)to the owner or the owners representative of the affected property
pursuant to the requirements of the California Government Code.
LOCAL PREFERENCE
Local preference was not implemented because this does not involve a competitive bid.
FISCAL IMPACT
The will be no General Funds used in the acquisition process for this project.Construction funds
are available this fiscal year through a local Proposition 111 Gas Tax funds,Citywide Traffic Signal

BY:KAREN M. BRADLEY, Assistant Controller

GREGORY S. WILES, Treasury Officer
Finance Department
SUBJECT
Consent to and authorization of the investment of monies in the Local Agency Investment Fund
(“LAIF”) in the custody of the State Treasurer for purposes of investment and authorize certain
Finance Officers in connection therewith (Authority action)
1.RESOLUTION - Designating and authorizing certain Finance Officers of the City of Fresno to
deposit and withdraw funds into and out of the Local Agency Investment Fund (“LAIF”) in the State
Treasury (Authority action)
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Joint Powers Financing Authority (“JPFA”)Members of the Board approve
the attached Resolution,authorizing the investment of monies in LAIF,and authorizing certain
Finance Officers to conduct investment transactions with LAIF.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On October 25,1988,the Board adopted By-Laws of the JPFA (“By-Laws”),which appointed the
Treasurer of the City of Fresno as the Controller and Treasurer of the JPFA (hereafter “Controller and
Treasurer”).The Controller and Treasurer is to have charge of all monies of the JPFA,shall sign
checks and various commercial banking documents,and provide verbal instruction as required for
the prudent financial administration and safekeeping of JPFA funds and property.In order to
accomplish these tasks,it is necessary for the JPFA Controller and Treasurer to delegate some
duties to responsible City of Fresno-Finance Department employees.Pursuant to Section IV.D.(7)of
the Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement by and between the City of Fresno and the Redevelopment
Agency of the City of Fresno,now the City of Fresno as Successor Agency to the Redevelopment
Agency of the City of Fresno,as amended November 1,1991 (“Joint Powers Agreement”),the Board

powered by Legistar™
File #:ID#14-502 Agenda Date:12/4/2014 Agenda #:"A"
has the power to appoint such other officers and employees as it may deem necessary.
BACKGROUND
The Joint Powers Agreement was approved on October 25,1988 for the purpose of assisting the City
in financing various capital projects.As the JPFA has no employees of its own,the Joint Powers
Agreement and the By-Laws designate the Treasurer of the City as the Treasurer and Controller of
the JPFA.As such,it is the Treasurer and Controller’s responsibility to administer the financial affairs
of the JPFA under the direction of the Board.Examples of the financial affairs assigned to the
Treasurer and Controller include:Signing checks,purchasing investments,and performing various
other banking transactions.As with the Treasurer and Controller position,since the JPFA has no
employees of its own,in order for the Treasurer and Controller to effectively and efficiently meet
his/her responsibilities,the authority for performing many JPFA finance functions must be delegated
to responsible City of Fresno-Finance Department employees.A reasonable system of internal
controls requires that only certain employees be authorized to approve these day-to-day
transactions.
These employees,along with the Treasurer and Controller,are to be designated as the JPFA’s
Finance Officers.The attached Resolution contains the complete list of proposed Finance Officers,
along with their exemplar signatures,and provides the authorization for them to perform JPFA
financial transactions.The list includes the City of Fresno Controller/Finance Director/(ex-officio)
Treasurer,the Assistant Controller and the Management Analyst III of the Finance Department’s
Administration Section,and the Treasury Officer of the Finance Department’s Treasury Section.The
attached Resolution has been approved as to form by the City Attorney’s Office.
ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS
By the definition provided in the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines Section 15378 this
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 this Resolution does not include a bid or award of a
construction or service contract.
FISCAL IMPACT
The compensation of the Controller/Finance Director/(ex-officio)Treasurer and the additional Finance
Officers to be appointed by this Resolution,has been established by the City’s Position Authorization
Resolution and Budget for Fiscal Year 2014-2015.Section IV.D.(4)of the By-Laws provides for
charges to be made against the JPFA,for the services of the Treasurer and Controller,as determined
by the City.Since the amount of service to be provided to the JPFA is currently unknown,there is no
way to determine the fiscal impact on the JPFA.However,there will be no cost to the General Fund
or any other City fund associated with the recommended action,due to the fact that the cost of any
service provided to the JPFA will be offset by charges to the JPFA.Further,there is no financial
impact on any particular Council District as a result of the recommended action.

Adopt the attached Resolution authorizing advances of up to $50,000,000 to the JPFA from the City,
approving a Demand Promissory Note to the City for up to $50,000,000,and authorizing and
directing the Treasurer and Controller to invest all advances in the LAIF.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City can effectively double the amount of money it can invest in LAIF,from $50,000,000 to one-
hundred million dollars ($100,000,000).LAIF is currently the City’s best investment alternative for
safe and liquid funds.The City can accomplish this by lending $50,000,000 to the JPFA on the
condition that the funds must be invested in LAIF and the interest earned on the investment be paid
to the City as interest on the loan.This transaction is commonly done throughout California between
other cities and their Joint Powers Financing Authorities.
BACKGROUND

Essentially a short-term money market fund,LAIF is similar to funds run by other States.These
funds are intended to provide a safe and liquid investment alternative for local agencies.LAIF
offers each local agency within California a single account with a maximum deposit of
$50,000,000.Local agencies benefit by obtaining a reasonable rate of return with a high degree
of safety.Additionally,the funds are available for use daily,if requested before 10:00 a.m.The
City utilizes LAIF as one of its investment alternatives,and has the maximum amount allowed,
$50,000,000, invested in its LAIF account.
Since the JPFA has no funds of its own,its account may be utilized by the City to effectively
double the amount of funds that may be invested with the LAIF.This is accomplished by loaning
the funds to the JPFA,with the requirement that the JPFA must deposit the funds into LAIF and
pay interest on the City’s loan in the exact amount that the investment earns with LAIF.
The Promissory Note to be used for this transaction is a Demand Promissory Note.This type of
note evidences a perpetual loan with no fixed term or set duration of repayment.It is an open-
ended loan that can be recalled upon the lender’s demand.The funds are lent to the JPFA with
very specific terms as to the disposition of the money.It is to be invested in the JPFA’s account
with the LAIF.However,should the City ever wish to do so,it can demand repayment from the
JPFA at any time.Accepting this Promissory Note from the JPFA will effectively allow the City to
double the amount of funds that can be invested with LAIF, while allowing for on-demand liquidity.
This transaction is commonly done throughout California by other cities and their JPFAs.The
State Treasurer’s Office is aware that cities engage in this type of transaction and has no
objections to it.
The attached Resolution has been approved as to form by the City Attorney’s Office.
ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS
By the definition provided in the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines Section 15378 this
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 this Resolution does not include a bid or award of a
construction or service contract.
FISCAL IMPACT
Approving the receipt of funds from the City,and signing a Demand Promissory Note to the City,will
allow the investment of surplus funds in a pool managed by the California State Treasurer’s Office,
thereby securing a reasonable rate of return with little risk and a high degree of liquidity.There is no
cost to the JPFA or the City associated with the recommended action,and there is no financial impact
on any particular Council District as a result of the recommended action.
