Regular Meeting
December 10, 2025
4 Veronica Manzo: raised concerns about local water quality and its impact on residents’ health, citing issues such as dry skin and hair loss affecting children. She emphasized that access to clean water is essential for the community and asked whether the City could explore solutions such as low-cost, subsidized, or zero-financing home water filtration systems to help residents improve water quality.

Gustavo : a recent retiree who moved to Adelanto from Orange County, expressed appreciation for the city but raised concerns about local water quality after hearing feedback from neighbors and observing health-related effects such as skin irritation. He emphasized that water quality is critical to residents’ health, especially for families and children, and should be a priority alongside new development and economic growth. Mr. Zamora requested additional information on prior water-related approvals and asked the City to consider solutions such as home water filters, budget allocations, or other measures to improve quality of life for residents.

Veronica Arreola: a longtime resident of Adelanto and member of the community group Unidos por una Adelanto Mejor, highlighted community concerns about water quality, safety, and transparency. She proposed creating an Adelanto Water Committee to bring together city officials, experts, and residents to review data, monitor issues, and ensure public participation.

The committee aims to promote trust, open communication, and collaborative solutions to protect public health, emphasizing unity and cooperation rather than confrontation, and representing a historic step toward stronger city-community relations.

Eddie Torres: Policy Director with the Inland Coalition for American Justice, echoed community concerns about water quality in Adelanto and advocated for the reinstatement of the ad hoc water committee first established nearly three years ago. He highlighted past water testing that revealed contamination, particularly in high desert communities relying on groundwater, and emphasized the increasing urgency due to climate change and ongoing development. Torres presented a petition signed by nearly 1,000 residents supporting the committee and called for a public town hall to involve the community, stressing inclusivity for all residents regardless of voter registration status, so their voices can influence water quality decisions and ensure transparency.

Alexis de Jesus: representing the Center for Community Action and Environmental Justice, addressed the Adelanto City Council to highlight ongoing community concerns about water contamination and quality, including issues with brown, foul-smelling, or cloudy tap water and the presence of harmful chemicals like PFAS and PFOs. She emphasized that nearly three years ago, the City committed to forming a resident-led Water Ad Hoc Committee to improve transparency and community involvement, but it has yet to be established. De Jesus called for inclusive participation for all residents, including undocumented individuals, a clear timeline for forming and convening the committee, improved outreach, and increased transparency in water monitoring and testing. She stressed that clean water is a basic right and urged the Council to take concrete steps to restore trust and protect public health.

She highlighted that poor water quality affects many families, including her own, and poses challenges for daily life and food preparation as a vendor. Oriana acknowledged that solving the issue will take time but emphasized the importance of residents’ voices being heard and working collaboratively toward lasting solutions. She stressed that clean water is a basic need and reaffirmed the community’s commitment to advocating for safe water until the problem is fully resolved.

Monica Acevedo: representing ICAJ and the community group Unidos por un Adelanto Mejor, spoke to the council about the urgent need for the creation of an Adelanto Water Committee. She emphasized that the committee is more than just a name or document—it is a crucial tool to ensure residents’ fundamental right to clean, safe, and accessible water. Acevedo highlighted long-standing community challenges, including lack of transparency, limited participation in decision-making, and the burden of buying expensive bottled water or filters. She stressed that the committee would allow residents, community leaders, and authorities to work together, review reports, ask questions, and follow up on issues to prevent future water contamination, ensuring the community’s health and security.

Magda Torrellas: addressed the council about the severe water quality issues in Adelanto, sharing personal health concerns and the burdens of constantly replacing water filters. She emphasized the urgency of taking action to protect residents, particularly children, from illnesses potentially caused by contaminated water. Torales also raised local safety concerns, including hazardous sidewalk conditions due to overcrowded driveways and speeding cars. Additionally, she extended community invitations for holiday events and expressed appreciation for law enforcement, noting the positive impact of the outgoing captain while hoping for a competent successor. She concluded with holiday greetings for all community members. Thank you Thank you, shipmate Appreciate it

Attachment A
Scope of Work
DEA agrees to perform and furnish the following services:

1. Project Management/DEA Meetings, as requested. This Agreement based on a maximum of Forty (40) manhours of meetings with the project team and City of Adelanto staff as needed. If workhours expended approaches said limit Client shall be notified and mutual agreement shall be reached for additional services.

2. Provide Caltrans Planning Coordination/ Processing. Included in this task will be the coordination with Caltrans District 8 to obtain the PA/ED Approval as a part of the project QMAP process. This letter is needed for the submittal of any improvement plans for a Caltrans Encroachment Permit. DEA’s fixed fee assumes a budget of approximately Eighty (80) workhours. If workhours expended approaches said limit Client shall be notified and a mutual agreement shall be reached for additional services.

3. Prepare Preliminary Plans for the proposed intersection improvements on Highway 395 at Lawson Street. The plans will be updated and finalized with the extension of Lawson Street to Jonathan Street. This plan is used to support District 8 IGR approvals. In addition the Preliminary Plans for the proposed City improvements on Lawson Avenue from Highway 395 to Delicious Street, and on Delicious Street from Air Expressway to Bartlett Street will be updated/finalized.

4. Prepare Intersection Control Evaluation (ICE)/Traffic Operations Reports As required by Caltrans, DEA will update the needed Intersection Control Evaluation (ICE) Report and prepare a Traffic Operations Report. The purpose of this proposed scope of work is to document the initial assessment/screening performed under the State’s Intersection Control Evaluation (ICE) process for the Highway 395 at Lawson Avenue and Cortez Street intersections, in accordance with Caltrans’ Traffic Operation Policy Directive (TOPD) 13-02. The directive requires the analysis of alternative traffic control strategies when proposing modifications to or a new intersection on a state highway facility. This evaluation will be a component of Traffic Assessment report previously prepared the proposed project.

A two-step evaluation is used in the ICE process—an initial screening of alternative intersection control concepts and an engineering, traffic and economic analysis of the most viable and practical concepts resulting from the screening. The evaluation steps are described below.

1. Initial Assessment/Screening. At a minimum, the ICE process requires screening of a minimum of three basic traffic control strategies (sometime there are variations of the yield control and all-way stop options):
a. Yield control (roundabouts)
b. All-way stop control
c. Traffic signal control.

The initial assessment helps narrow alternative strategies based on daily traffic volume thresholds operational characteristics, feasibility of the strategy’s footprint and potential right-of-way impacts, and safety considerations.

2. Engineering Analysis. Viable and practical alternative strategies from the initial screening are then further assessed in an engineering analysis consisting of an operational performance analysis, preliminary geometric design, and a benefit / cost analysis 29 City of Adelanto
ASA #5 ADEL0000-2005

4.1 - Scope of Services for Traffic Forecasting Methodology Memorandum/Traffic Volumes Report Prior to the preparation of the ICE and TOAR reports, DEA will prepare the required Traffic Forecasting Methodology Memorandum/Traffic Volumes report for submittal, review, and approval by Caltrans.

4.2 - Scope of Services for ICE Report
Initial ICE Assessment/Screening and Engineering Analysis A. Based on Caltrans’ ICE guidelines, the initial ICE Assessment and Screening includes the following:
• Screening of control strategies based on Average Daily Traffic Volumes (ADT). • Description of operational characteristics and considerations described for each of the three required control strategies (roundabout, all-way stop, and traffic signal) in the context of the location including existing constraints. This task includes a preliminary operational analysis (e.g., level of service analysis and queuing) for each strategy. • Evaluation of control strategy footprint and right-of-way impacts. This task requires developing conceptual plans identifying preliminary “footprint” and right of way requirements of each control strategy based on Caltrans’ design standards. The right of way impacts will be described and evaluated for each control strategy. In this task, DEA will prepare conceptual geometric plans (about 20 to 30 percent level of design). Footprints (or the right of way envelope) is part of the geometric plan
• Evaluation of safety considerations including review of the intersection’s collision history for the past three years and a discussion of the potential safety impacts or improvements of each control strategy.
• Conclusions and screening of initial control strategies. This task is intended to screen out unwarranted, ineffective, and impractical control strategies and recommend a strategy(ies) for an engineering analysis in Step 2. Step 1 may be submitted to Caltrans before proceeding to Step 2 to obtain consensus on screened strategies. Note that Caltrans, at their discretion, may require all candidate strategies to be carried forward into Step 2: Engineering Analysis.

B. Engineering analysis of screened control strategies includes the following:
• Prepared detailed warrant analyses for the traffic signal strategy. For the previously completed traffic signal warrant, Caltrans will require collision diagrams for the past 12-months. • Capacity and queuing analyses of screened control strategies for each planning scenario for the intersections of Highway 395 at Lawson Street and Cortez Avenue. Planning scenarios include existing conditions (completed), background + project, and future + project conditions. We will utilize the traffic count data and project trip generation and distribution analysis previously conducted for the intersections for the needed capacity analysis. Not included is the preparation of a traffic study for the project.
• Development of more detailed conceptual geometric plans for each screened control strategy and include performance checks on pedestrian, bicycle, and design vehicle (STAA trucks). • Cost estimates for the screened control strategies.
• Summary, conclusion, and recommended control strategy.

C. Prepare ICE report
• The objective of the ICE analyses is to gain Caltrans consensus / approval of the type of traffic control at the intersection of Highway 395 and Lawson Street. • This task includes interim, draft, and final technical memoranda that will comprise the documentation of the ICE technical work, findings, conclusions, and recommendations. 30 City of Adelanto
ASA #5 ADEL0000-2005

4.3 - Scope of Services for Traffic Operations Report
DEA will prepare the Traffic Operations Report for the proposed intersection. This report presents the specific operations for the proposed traffic signal.

5. Prepare Drainage Study for the proposed intersection improvements on Highway 395 at Lawson Street. The Drainage Study will be prepared to identify the needed drainage improvements, including the modifications to existing drainage facilities at the proposed intersection. The study will be prepared in accordance with Caltrans requirements.

6. Prepare Caltrans Design Documents for the proposed intersection improvements on Highway 395 at Lawson Street. A Caltrans Design Standards Memorandum will be prepared to present the proposed design standards to support the proposed improvements on Highway 395 per the Caltrans Highway Design Manual. Work in this task also includes the preparation of a draft Design Exception report (DSDD) for the project. Caltrans will require the approval of a DSDD for the approval of the proposed traffic signal improvements at Highway 395 and Lawson Avenue. The DSDD report is required for the minimum clear recovery zone for the traffic signal poles and will be prepared in accordance with Caltrans requirements. In addition, work under this task includes the updates to requested DEER report for the project. DEA’s fixed fee assumes a budget of approximately Fifty (50) workhours.

If workhours expended approaches said limit Client shall be notified and a mutual agreement shall be reached for additional services.

7. Process Caltrans Right-of-way Decertification of the existing Access Control within the existing Highway 395 rightof-way for the proposed intersection improvements on Highway 395 at Lawson Street. DEA will provide our services for the processing of the Decertification of the existing Caltrans Access Control. Work under this task includes the preparation of the Right-of-way Exhibits/Maps and Legal Documents, Caltrans review and processing for recordation, and the Right-of-way Certification Memorandum. Work includes the response to Caltrans comments during the decertification processing, and any necessary meetings with Caltrans for the processing of the decertification. DEA’s fixed fee assumes a budget of approximately Ninety (90) workhours. If workhours expended approaches said limit Client shall be notified and a mutual agreement shall be reached for additional services.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ADELANTO ESTABLISHING

ADMINISTRATIVE PENALTIES FOR FAILURE TO MAINTAIN VACANT LAND AND PROPERTY IN A

CLEAN AND COMPLIANT CONDITION
SECTION 1. FINDINGS AND DECLARATIONS
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Adelanto finds that vacant land and property left unmaintained creates public nuisances including blight, accumulation of trash and debris, fire hazards, vermin infestation, vandalism, and adverse impacts on property values and public health; and WHEREAS, such conditions negatively impact surrounding neighborhoods and impose direct and indirect costs on the City, including inspection, enforcement, administrative processing, monitoring, and increased public safety response; and
WHEREAS, the City has the police power under Article XI, Section 7 of the California Constitution to regulate land use and abate nuisances to protect the public health, safety, and welfare; and WHEREAS, California Government Code § 36900 limits criminal fines for municipal code violations, but California Government Code § 53069.4 expressly authorizes cities to impose administrative penalties for municipal code violations as an alternative to criminal enforcement; and WHEREAS, the City Council finds that administrative enforcement provides a faster, more efficient, and more cost-effective compliance mechanism than criminal prosecution; and WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the administrative penalties authorized herein are reasonably related to the severity of the violation, the duration of noncompliance, and the extent of harm caused to the community, including impacts to neighboring properties and City enforcement resources; and WHEREAS, the City Council further finds that the purpose of this Ordinance is to promote compliance and mitigate harm, not to generate revenue, and that penalties are imposed only after notice and an opportunity to cure; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that property owners are afforded due process protections, including written notice, reasonable time to correct violations, hardship relief, and the right to appeal any administrative determination;
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Adelanto does ordain as follows:

SECTION 2. PURPOSE
282
The purpose of this Ordinance is to protect the public health, safety, and welfare of the residents of the City of Adelanto by ensuring that vacant land and properties are properly maintained and do not create nuisance conditions that contribute to blight, fire hazards, illegal dumping, criminal activity, or deterioration of surrounding neighborhoods.

SECTION 3. DEFINITIONS
For purposes of this Ordinance:
“Vacant Land or Property” means any parcel of land, lot, or structure not lawfully occupied by a resident, business, or authorized use, and which shows visible signs of neglect, debris accumulation, overgrown weeds, or other violations of the City’s property maintenance standards. “Owner” means the person or entity listed as the owner of record with the San Bernardino County Tax Assessor.
“Nuisance Condition” means any condition on vacant land or property, including but not limited to excessive weeds, accumulation of trash or debris, graffiti, hazardous structures, or other violations that constitute a public nuisance under the City Code or applicable state law. “Administrative Penalty” means a civil penalty imposed through an administrative enforcement process pursuant to California Government Code § 53069.4 and is not a criminal fine.

SECTION 4. NOTICE OF VIOLATION

1. Upon determination by City staff that a property is in violation of City maintenance standards or constitutes a nuisance condition, the City shall issue a written Notice of Violation by certified mail to the address listed for the Owner with the San Bernardino County Tax Assessor.

2. The Notice shall specify the violation, corrective action required, and shall provide the Owner with seven (7) calendar days from the date the letter is marked as delivered to correct the violation.

3. No administrative penalty shall be imposed unless the Owner has been provided written notice and a reasonable opportunity to correct the condition, except where immediate action is required to address an imminent threat to public health or safety.

SECTION 5. ADMINISTRATIVE PENALTIES

1. Initial Penalty. If the violation is not corrected within seven (7) calendar days of delivery of the Notice, the Owner shall incur a $1,000 administrative penalty.

2. Cure Period. The Owner shall then be provided an additional thirty (30) calendar days to bring the property into compliance.
283

3. Daily Penalties. If the violation remains after the 30-day cure period, the Owner shall incur an additional $1,000 per day penalty for up to sixty (60) consecutive days until compliance is achieved.

4. Proportionality. Administrative penalties imposed pursuant to this section shall be reasonably related to the severity of the violation, the duration of noncompliance, and the extent of community harm and City resource impacts.

SECTION 6. HARDSHIP WAIVER

1. An Owner may apply in writing for a Hardship Waiver within seven (7) business days of receiving a Notice of Violation.

2. Grounds for a waiver may include serious illness or disability, active military deployment, or demonstrated financial hardship.

3. The City Manager or designee may grant a temporary extension of a compliance deadline not to exceed thirty (30) business days upon a showing of good cause.

4. Any waiver or extension beyond thirty (30) business days must be approved by the City Council.

5. No waiver shall exceed ninety (90) days in total, and reasonable conditions may be imposed.

SECTION 7. APPEALS

1. Any Owner receiving a Notice of Violation or penalty assessment may request a hearing before the City Council within ten (10) business days of the notice.

2. The City Council shall serve as the impartial hearing body, and its decision shall constitute the City’s final administrative action.

3. Judicial review may be sought pursuant to California Government Code § 53069.4.

SECTION 8. LIENS AND PROPERTY ACQUISITION

1. If the violation remains unresolved after the sixty-day penalty period, the City shall record a lien against the property in the amount of all unpaid penalties, fees, and administrative costs.

2. If the lien remains unpaid and the nuisance is not abated, the City may initiate proceedings to assume ownership of the property in accordance with state law and due process requirements.

SECTION 9. DISPOSITION OF ACQUIRED PROPERTY
284

1. Properties acquired by the City shall be disposed of at quarterly public auctions.

2. The minimum sale price shall be the fair market value plus all City-incurred costs, penalties, and fees.

3. The purchaser shall have ninety (90) business days from the date of sale to bring the property into compliance with City Code.

SECTION 10. FEE SCHEDULE ALIGNMENT
Administrative penalties imposed pursuant to this Ordinance shall be incorporated into the City’s Master Fee Schedule by resolution of the City Council.

SECTION 11. SEVERABILITY
If any provision of this Ordinance or its application is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect the other provisions or applications which can be given effect without the invalid provision or application.

SECTION 12. EFFECTIVE DATE
This Ordinance shall take effect thirty (30) days after its adoption.

SECTION 13. CERTIFICATION
The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this Ordinance and cause the same to be published according to law.
285
