Ihave been in my current home for 33 years. l'am nobody special, I have no fancy titles or degrees, however Ihave a half century of experience living in the chaos, caused by those who do. Our city is currently going through a new chaotic mess, caused by entitled, educated morons, from out of the area, looking for a way to take more money from Imight not have everything right, but It think I can explain the gest of the story. This began on the scheduled City Council meeting on November 4, 2024. Some anonymous person, filed a legal action against the City of Clovis, essentially claiming we are racist.I Iknow this person is anonymous because, one of the council members pointed out the suit came from southern California and asked, "how do they have standing". Legal council explained, a Clovis resident must be the plaintiff, but can remain unnamed, and the law firm can be from out of the area. We were told that at large council members, (all members are voted in by all citizens) restrict the ability for minority groups to elect minority candidates. Therefore Clovis must adopt a system that our council members represent a district and only members of that district can vote for them. We were told, other cities have tried to fight these suits, and all have lost, after spending as much as $30,000,000. The council explained, none of them wanted to accept this, but could not justify the expense. All members, except council member Vong those of us who have none. Mountanoa, voted to change to elections by district. Currently we have two white men, two white women, and one Hmong man. In the past we have had other races represented on the council. In the past two elections, no other person has offered to run for a council seat. I have heard no protest, anywhere in Clovis, of a group complaining about not being fairly represented. Have you seen a group at any Clovis parade complaining about our council NOT representing their wishes. Was there a booth at any of the many Old Town events looking to unseat a council member. We just had an election. Two council members ran for reelection. UNOPPOSED. One was Hmong, AND HE WON. On November 18, 2024, the council arranged for a representative of XXXX to start the procedure to change to a district system. He explained how the time table worked and how the decisions would be made, and under what rules. However, he said nothing about the requirements of the basis of the legal action. The whole purpose of this upheaval, was to create districts that concentrate minority groups together, sO they can effectively vote for someone who would represent their interests. The requirements did not address that. The districts population numbers Where is the racism? had to be within 10% of each other. Natural borders and barriers should be considered, but gerrymandering is not allowed. He specifically said "we can create the district's anyway we want". Does this make any sense, a legal action, requiring Clovis to dismantle its effective and long standing, at large representation, in order to improve minority representation, is fixed by doing nothing to increase minority We have our system for a reason. If you don't like a council member, you can go talk to a different member. They ALL represent you. With election districts, only your representative, will care about your problem. The others won't care because you can't vote for them. How do you think Clovis has such a positive reputation. We have it because the council members care about Clovis, NOT just their district. Do you think Fresno is a better place to live? They have a district system. Should During the presentation, the mayor opened the meeting for public discussion. I was there because I have been regularly attending Clovis City Council Meetings. Butl have not heard about any notices informing the public about this issue. Very few people spoke on this issue and the mayor was dumbfounded that there was no feed back on how we should create these borders. No one made suggestions because, no one can make sense out of this colossal nonsense. Imagine the mayor announcing, we voted, starting next year, it will get dark when the sun comes up. What kind of lights should we buy? How do you process that, how do you even Lwould suggest the council inform the citizens about this problem and delay the current remedy. Ask for input and search for solutions. Can groups like Pacific Legal foundation, provide help or guidance. The citizens of Clovis just passed a sales tax that is supposed to bring inn $30,000,000 a year. It was intended to supplement the police and fire department, we could certainly delay that for one year. This redistricting disaster is far more important than any problem facing representation. we be like Fresno? consider a suggestion? This issue is just that crazy. Clovis this decade.

The policy placed developers third in line, after debt payment and capital Application of fee credits to offset the cost of major facilities construction is not eligible IfCouncil were to approve fee credits for major facilities - developers who construct major facilities improvements, would receive a reduction in the amount of their overall development fee obligation equivalent to the cost of This would mean less revenue collected to cover our bond debt, and a higher likelihood that users would need to cover the difference. Northwest and Northeast areas of the city are the critical areas that need major sewer and water facilities to support new development and growth. The City does not have bonding capacity to build the necessary facilities, until the major facilities construction. our current debt is paid off. needsot treet. er Water Parks Santition Polion ofFoes length AdoptionofFees Annuallyby Counci Incresse byCCior costa study tprojact eterto debtor ank fortuture rastruct Basedon avalablity offunds WILSON HOMES Over 55 Years Building the Valley 75501 N.

Al Development Agreement is commonly utilized when offsite construction activities are unusually extensive or complex. Typically,a development project located next to an existing street would be conditioned to install an additional outside travel lane or other features necessary to complete the adjacent street. Int this case, in agreement with City Staff, Wilson Homes agreed to completely rehabilitate Shepherd Avenue from Sunnyside to Fowler to remedy a prominent public safety issue. To facilitate the project, we have already prepared plans for Shepherd Avenue, installed a portion of sewer and water facilities in Shepherd Avenue, facilitated preparation and approval of PG &E plans, obtained and paid for the PG&E contract, provided Right-of-way deposit, deeds, appraisals and made initial contact with all adjacent property owners and are working cooperatively with City Staff to facilitate right-of-way acquisitions. Its should be noted, Tract 6205 will be making improvements that are significantly above and beyond typical project conditions, this requires Wilson Homes to obtain financing and performance bonds for the Shepherd Avenue work and the offsite Sunnyside Water Main. These additional financing and bond To facilitate the offsite municipal improvements in recognition of the atypical conditions, Wilson Homes isr requesting a deviation from standard City Policy to allow the use of Fee Credits for the installation of Sewer Major Facilities including al half mile of 8" and half mile of 16" sewer force main and a 16" water Main in Sunnyside Avenue through the Dry Creek Preserve. The use of credits preventsa disproportionate cost burden resulting from requiring both the payment of fees and the construction of facilities. While not typical a development agreement of this nature has been used before for projects that involve extensive offsite improvements in the City of Clovis, such as Harlan Ranch. Facilities) and (g) Water (Major Facilities) - Request for Fee Credits costs are not reimbursable from the City. Staff has been great to work with in preparing this agreement, but appropriately do not want to implement a change in policy without Council direction. Respectfully, we are requesting your consideration of this request and direction to Staff to include these provisions in the Development Agreement to allow the use of Fee Credits for Shepherd and Sunnyside Avenue Sewer and Water Major Facilities improvements.
