Dr. Fulmer told council members that about 20% of the city's area falls inside Clovis Unified boundaries and that roughly 18,500 students have Fresno addresses, about 43% of the district's 43,000 students. \"We are now the twelfth largest school district in California,\" Fulmer said during her presentation. She also noted district demographics and that 48.3% of students qualify under local-control funding formula categories (low-income, English learners, foster youth or homeless) and that the district maintains a 94.8% graduation rate.

Clovis Unified described two schools scheduled to open in August 2025 (Clovis South High School and Philip V. Sanchez Intermediate) and thanked city staff for prior interagency work on utilities, code enforcement and safety. Board President Moore and the superintendent asked the council to consider forming or continuing a joint subcommittee for elected officials so the two bodies can coordinate on issues such as street closures, transportation routing and public-safety responses.

Trustee and former Fresno council member Clint Olivier praised the joint response to persistent public-safety problems near Pinedale-area schools and said coordinated actions \"went to work on that immediately\" and that the stakeholders \"saw it as a clear and present danger to the safety of the kids, who are on their way to and from school.\" Olivier credited city code enforcement, police and neighborhood volunteers for improvements and urged sustained collaboration.

Council members and district officials discussed other shared opportunities including use of district athletic and aquatics facilities, coordinated volunteer and youth-employment programs, and extending mental-health and resiliency services across district boundaries. No formal action or vote was taken; the workshop concluded with mutual agreement to continue dialogue and to consider appointing representatives to a joint committee.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Fresno City Council Meeting 2/27/25","oneSentenceSummary","Clovis Unified board and superintendent briefed the Fresno City Council on the district's footprint inside Fresno, student demographics and asked for a standing or periodic subcommittee to coordinate schools, safety and infrastructure matters affecting students who live in Fresno.","taxTitle","Fresno City, Fresno County, California","taxId",3699,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6660518,"Fresno council annexes roughly 20 acres at West Ashlan Avenue, requires CFD 18 and fire-transition fees",27,3697000,3724000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2434913-fc292820a2692c90f1e8254edc9184ef&start=3697&end=3724","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2434913-fc292820a2692c90f1e8254edc9184ef/thumbnail_3697000.jpg","/articles/6660518/Fresno-City/Fresno-County/California/Fresno-council-annexes-roughly-20-acres-at-West-Ashlan-Avenue-requires-CFD-18-and-fire-transition-fees","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6660518-2acdf4efb8f192ed597f7721ed2fef8f/orig.mp4?Expires=1771186198&Signature=mqXMtkdoAgK8lzZsJDz7wy8DUzSfmm2U4AoHML8PzhcO-Ml7wtPU3mChXt6CpEEiedf4V9nvAYDju59oZZAT~Oi6d1d9fbR2~QbFxKR7qqTe-385xuxj1xnN4sNPxdU-43WX9vQ5hWJRL-dUVU1NzC52dWU-tT29GHgz~kd438x0MTnZnYfNRroAnYa6CT7W6GLVqcQKNgocqyRKojAUAuOFmh~t5PGcH4kfExsRYAttHyQ2-YfRu31hHFBPk4QSuf3X7J4L4XN2~tBQA4LO0Rk1rJDRxSEfxWjavrOh5Ocx0R-yTA3pFHMCjOqSXRhQPnOgckgKg9XzyyumxQ3pUA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Fresno City Council on Feb. 27 voted 5-0 to approve annexation application P22-03846, bringing roughly 20 acres on the north and south sides of West Ashlan Avenue (between North Polk and North Hayes avenues) into Fresno city limits and rezoning the parcels from county to city designations.

Israel Veil of the Planning and Development Department told the council that staff recommended the annexation and environmental assessment, subject to two conditions: the applicant must enter into Community Facilities District 18 (CFD 18) to offset police and fire costs associated with annexation, and the applicant must pay all fire transition fees tied to the application.

No members of the public spoke during the public-comment period for the item, and council members asked clarifying questions. Council Member Nick Richardson asked about a small acreage discrepancy: the staff clarified that the difference (about 0.93 acres) represented street right-of-way and was included as part of the pre-zone application.

Council Member Annalise Perea moved to approve the annexation; Council Member Nick Richardson seconded. The motion passed 5-0.

Staff said the annexation and rezoning are intended to accommodate future residential development and to place the properties under city planning, police and fire service regimes. The record includes no additional implementation timeline for development; staff identified the zoning conditions as part of the council's action.","The City Council approved annexation application P22-03846 to bring about 20 acres along West Ashlan Avenue into city limits, rezone the property and require participation in Community Facilities District 18 and payment of fire-transition fees.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6660522,"Fresno approves amendment to Hotel Fresno owner participation agreement, increases affordable units to 80",183,3459000,3642000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2434913-fc292820a2692c90f1e8254edc9184ef&start=3459&end=3642","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2434913-fc292820a2692c90f1e8254edc9184ef/thumbnail_3459000.jpg","/articles/6660522/Fresno-City/Fresno-County/California/Fresno-approves-amendment-to-Hotel-Fresno-owner-participation-agreement-increases-affordable-units-to-80","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6660522-027b7526375028d0e9a32b0bf2cb1e67/orig.mp4?Expires=1771186198&Signature=hFuPAKVkbuzZKkVVRvTwEavERTLY2g5QQTXJkKHM7Zgg51hYWdPgCl2ZHLk4V0Vvd1Bg89AcamYrbS~NOW-QNtIOA~JGy~ZFh5xh2fmiy3UFDfBmvGG4MwaQws8fYu2YGEu~WwydPisGZq0gydqn8Z7xb8DpHbsdqADYz~eBMqPwLQ0azugX5Z8NVhLBv2tJJGJbM7UbfYyPyZUP1VkYLZYWgzS7LQoYbOPt0DDYuT2kJ39OkT-LFwiAXFy9oXWQmjxI5RgY4HSXl4jxoLACxa0po~EtZWs2l2qWjChVlqy5MqwKH114yz4iad8hr5Na7ZxK-9Je8OdUDlITRSN4rA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Fresno City Council and the city's successor agency on Feb. 27 approved a fifth amendment to the amended and restated owner participation agreement with Broadway Plaza Family Apartments LP, clearing final financing for a renovation of the Hotel Fresno and updating the number of affordable units in the project.

City staff told the council the amendment recalculates loan repayment in line with state multifamily lending rules and updates the regulatory agreement to reflect 80 affordable units across the project, up from the originally planned 40 units. Staff said the recalculation recognizes the relative shares of lenders providing assistance to the project.

The joint meeting vote on the successor agency item passed 6-0; the city council later approved the city's portion of the item 5-0. Mayor Jerry Dyer made the motion in the joint meeting; the council vote was moved and seconded by members on the dais, as recorded on the Feb. 27 transcript.

Staff said the city's and state's contributions are being rebalanced for repayment purposes. In the staff presentation, the speaker described the change as a recalculation that reflects the proportionate assistance provided by each lender under state unified multifamily rules; the transcript lists the city contribution as \"1.5\" and the state contribution as \"4.0,\" with the presentation not specifying monetary units. The amendment also aligns the regulatory documents with the project's final financing and affordability requirements.

City staff characterized the project as the final financing step for a roughly $40 million renovation of the Hotel Fresno. Council members and the mayor thanked staff, the successor agency and attorneys for completing a long-running effort that began years earlier.

Votes and formal actions appear in the record: the joint successor-agency action passed 6-0, and the separate city council action passed 5-0. The record does not list individual member vote choices by name.

The amendment updates the owner participation agreement, the regulatory agreement and the loan repayment schedule; staff said all units will serve households at very low income levels consistent with the regulatory documents. The council did not receive public comment on this item during the public-comment period recorded in the transcript.

The council and successor agency did not attach additional reporting requirements in the meeting minutes; staff indicated readiness to answer follow-up questions and to provide final executed documents to the clerk.

Further background: city staff described this as the final financing document for the Hotel Fresno renovation and said it increases the project's affordable-unit total and adjusts repayment shares among lenders. No implementation dates were specified in the hearing record.","The City of Fresno and its successor agency approved a fifth amendment to the owner participation agreement for Broadway Plaza Family Apartments LP (Hotel Fresno), recalculating lender repayment shares and updating the project to 80 affordable units.
