Clovis City Council Meeting - April 20, 2026

The City of Clovis, California City Council held a meeting on April 20, 2026, which included several procurement and budget-related discussions. Key procurement topics included a detailed public hearing and approval process for proposed new water rates and fees, driven by inflation, regulatory compliance, and infrastructure maintenance needs. The council discussed the financial planning behind the rate increases, which aim to fund aging water infrastructure and regulatory requirements, with projected increases phased over several years. Additionally, the council considered the establishment of a new Maintenance Community Facilities District (CFD) to provide a sustainable funding mechanism for public services and infrastructure maintenance such as street lighting, traffic signals, and parks. The CFD would supplement existing funding sources and involve future annexations tied to new developments. The council also approved appointments to the planning and personnel commissions and discussed a street plan line project for various road segments, including environmental review addenda. Other agenda items included adopting a mixed-income zoning ordinance and discussing an honorary additions policy for Peg Boss Plaza. Public comments addressed concerns about affordable housing, water infrastructure, enforcement of housing codes, and the impact of water rate increases on residents. The council voted to approve the water rate increases following the Prop 218 public hearing, with no majority protest received.
