Mayor Reyes opened Public Comment at 1:12 p.m.

Kamel Campbell, a board member of Haven’s Future, addressed the City Council in support of the organization’s application for a fireworks stand permit. Campbell explained that Haven’s Future is a grassroots nonprofit focused on preventing unnecessary family separation, assisting families in navigating the child welfare system, and supporting reunification efforts. 19 City Council Minutes
Regular Meeting
June 24, 2026
10 Campbell noted that the organization handles highly confidential cases involving children, parents, court proceedings, and child and family services investigations, which limits its ability to publicly share details about its work. Fundraising opportunities, including participation in the City’s fireworks program, are therefore important sources of financial support.

Campbell shared an example of an Adelanto mother who received assistance through proceeds from the previous year’s fireworks stand and private donations. Haven’s Future was able to pay for the mother’s legal representation, which ultimately helped her reunify with her children and receive a settlement from the County. Campbell emphasized that Haven’s Future remains a grassroots organization and that proceeds from the fireworks stand directly support its mission and local families.

Sir a representative of I Am Love addressed the City Council to clarify the organization’s relationship with World Faith Vision Church regarding its fireworks stand application. The speaker explained that I Am Love originated from World Faith Vision Church and initially operated under the church’s EIN until obtaining its own EIN a few years ago. Because World Faith had historically submitted the fireworks application, the same process was followed this year. The speaker stated that there was no intention to misrepresent the organization and that, had they known I Am Love needed to be listed as the primary organization on the application, they would have done so. Moving forward, they will ensure that I Am Love is properly identified on future applications. The speaker acknowledged the Council’s responsibility to follow its established decisions and respectfully requested the Council’s consideration and grace regarding the application.

Diana, representing the nonprofit We Love Adelanto, addressed the City Council regarding the fireworks stand application process. She stated that she had considered applying for a fireworks booth but discovered she had missed the application deadline. She expressed concerns about fairness and consistency in the City’s application processes and felt that some applicants may be treated differently than others. Diana also commented that nonprofit organizations handling confidential information can still provide general statistics without disclosing personal information. She expressed support for I Am Love, noting its involvement in the Adelanto community, and encouraged the Council to reflect on how the organization had previously been treated and to ensure a fair and consistent process.

Mayor Reyes closed Public Comment at 1:17 p.m.

SUBJECT: FIVE-YEAR MEASURE I CAPITAL PROJECT NEED ANALYSIS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2027- 2028 THROUGH 2031-2032
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Approve Resolution 26-41 adopting the Five-Year Measure I Capital Project Need Analysis for Fiscal year 2027-2028 through 2031-2032.

BACKGROUND:

In November 1989, San Bernardino County voters approved passage of Measure "I", authorizing the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority (SBCTA) to impose a half-cent retail transaction and use tax. The new tax was applicable in the incorporated and unincorporated areas of the County of San Bernardino for the 20-year period between April 1, 1990, and March 31, 2010. SBCTA was authorized to administer the programs described in the Measure. Revenue from the tax can only be used for transportation improvement and traffic management programs authorized in the Expenditure Plan, as set forth in Ordinance No. 04-1.

In November 2004, voters extended the half-cent sales tax for 30 years, from April 1, 2010 through March 31, 2040. The new Measure is referred to as Measure "I" 2010-2040 to distinguish it from the first Measure "I". The Measure "I" 2010-2040 Expenditure Plan includes the Valley Major Street Program.

This Program provides funding for regional arterial projects that have been identified in the SBCTA Nexus Study and are included in the City's Regional Traffic Circulation System Master Facilities Plan and Impact Fee Program. To participate in the Valley Major Street Program, each agency must annually adopt a 5- year Capital Project Needs Analysis (CPNA), which identifies project funding needs by fiscal year. The CPNA includes the anticipated funding sources, funding amounts and project phasing for eligible projects that were included in the SBCTA Nexus Study. This information is needed from each local agency to assist SBCTA staff in preparing an overall capital needs and cash flow analysis for the Valley Major Street Program.

The projects listed in the CPNA are those select projects that qualify for and intend to use funding from the Measure "I" 2010-2040 Valley Major Street Program, along with matching funds collected from new development through the City's Regional Circulation System Impact Fee. The Regional Circulation System Impact Fee was adopted in anticipation of this program and to satisfy the requirement that the new development pay its fair share toward regional improvements funded by the Measure "I" 2010-2040 Valley Major Street Program. Only projects that will use Valley Major Street Program funds are required 35 to be included in the CPNA.

The following five projects are included in the CPNA:

1. Bartlett Avenue Phase II between Lilac Road and Richardson Road

2. Bellflower Street Phase II between Air Expressway to Cactus Road Staff recommends City Council adopt the attached resolution and the Five Year Measure I Capital Project Need Analysis For Fiscal Year 2027-2028 Through 2031-2032 FISCAL IMPACT:

There will be no impact on the General Fund. These projects are funded through Development Impact Fee and will be 36.5% reimbursable by SBCTA.

ATTACHMENTS:

A. Resolution 26-41
B. CPNA 2027/28 through 2031/2032

BERNARDINO COUNTY, STATE OF CALIFORNIA, ADOPTING THE

MEASURE I FIVE-YEAR CAPITAL PROJECT NEEDS ANALYSIS FOR FISCAL YEARS 2027/2028 THROUGH 2031/2032.

WHEREAS, San Bernardino County voters approved passage of Measure I in November 2004, authorizing the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority to impose a onehalf of one percent retail transactions and use tax applicable in the incorporated and unincorporated territory of the County of San Bernardino; and WHEREAS, revenue from the tax can only be used for transportation improvement and traffic management programs authorized in the Expenditure Plan set forth in Ordinance No. 04-01 of the Authority; and
WHEREAS, the Strategic Plan requires each local jurisdiction applying for revenue from certain Measure I Programs to annually adopt and update a Five-Year Capital Project Needs Analysis; and

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ADELANTO DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:

Section 1: That the Measure I Five-Year Capital Project Needs Analysis for Fiscal Years 2027/2028 through 2031/2032, attached to this resolution as Exhibit A, is hereby adopted.

SUBJECT: 2027-2031 MEASURE I CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Approve Resolution 26-42, adopting the Measure I Capital Improvement Plan for the fiscal years 2027/28 through 2031/32.

BACKGROUND:

In 1989, voters approved Measure I authorizing San Bernardino County Transportation Authority (SBCTA) to impose a one-half of one percent retail transactions and use tax (the “tax”) applicable in San Bernardino County. The tax was reauthorized by voters in 2010 for a thirty (30) year term. Revenue from the tax can only be used for transportation purposes, including local improvement and traffic management programs per SBCTA Ordinance 89-1, Ordinance 04-01 and the SBCTA’s Transportation Expenditure Plan. SBCTA is responsible for imposing, collecting and allocating revenue derived from the tax.

Adhering to the policies of Measure I and the SBCTA’s Transportation Expenditure Plan, each agency receiving Measure I revenue must undergo an annual audit of Measure I expenditures in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States.

Compliance audits shall be conducted to ensure agencies expending funds are following provisions and guidelines established for Measure “I” revenue. To maintain compliance with required audit practices, any alterations to planned expenditures must be reapproved and adopted by City Council. Cities receiving Measure I revenue from the Local Street Program must annually adopt a Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan detailing city policy for spending Measure I funds.

Staff recommends City Council approve Resolution 26-42, adopting the Measure I Capital Improvement Plan for the fiscal years 2027/28 through 2031/32.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There will be no impact on the General Fund. All Measure I Transportation monies must be used for approved transportation purposes.

MEASURE I CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN

EXPENDITURE STRATEGY
Fiscal Year 2026/2027 thru 2030/2031
Each jurisdiction shall adopt a Measure I Capital Improvement Plan Expenditure Strategy as part of the annual Capital Improvement Plan adoption. The Expenditure Strategy is not intended to be a narrative description of the projects listed in the Capital Improvement Plan. Instead, the Expenditure Strategy should provide the policy approach adopted by the Council for the expenditure of Measure I funds. The jurisdictional Expenditure Strategy provides an opportunity to document circumstances or analyses which are not otherwise apparent when reviewing the Measure I Capital Improvement Plan.

You must include the strategy as part of the annual Capital Improvement Plan adopted by your governing body.

SAMPLE STRATEGY:

The City of Adelanto’s Measure I expenditure strategy for 2023-2028 is to utilize existing carryover funds that have accumulated over previous cycles with anticipated revenues over the next 5 years to repave and repair critical segments of arterial roadways. This will also include minor improvements as recommended in Adelanto’s Local Road Safety Plan (LRSP). Categorical maintenance projects include potholes, crack sealing, concrete reapirs, striping and signage replacement.

The remaining funds will be used primarily in rehabilitating roads which are in critical need, or for construction of a new major street. 8 42

INTEREST CODE
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt Resolution No. 26-43, updating the City of Adelanto Conflict of Interest Code pursuant to the 2026 biennial review.

BACKGROUND:

The Political Reform Act requires local agencies to review their Conflict-of-Interest Codes every two years to determine whether the code remains accurate or requires amendment. The biennial review ensures that the City's code appropriately identifies positions that make or participate in making governmental decisions.

The City last updated its Conflict-of-Interest Code through Resolution No. 24-82, adopted September 25, 2024. As part of the required 2026 biennial review, staff reviewed the City's Conflict of Interest Code and determined that an amendment is necessary to reflect the City's current organizational structure.

The proposed resolution updates the City's Conflict of Interest Code and designated positions.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact associated with the adoption of this resolution.

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Jessie Flores, City Manager
an SUBJECT: PROFESSIONAL SERVICE AGREEMENT FOR GRANT ADMINISTRATION AND

IMPLEMENTATION SERVICES FOR ATP-SAFE ROUTE TO SCHOOL GRANT STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends City Council approves Professional Service Agreement to ZSE and Associates for Grant Administration and Implementation Services for ATP-Safe Route to School Grant.

DISCUSSION:

ZSE and Associates (ZSE) has been supporting grant attraction and management for the City of Adelanto over the last 3 years. This agreement represents a change in accounting methodology to allow tracking of Grant attraction and administration costs by grant. For every attracted grant that ZSE administers, the City will enter into a new agreement, allowing line item tracking for administration vs other vendors.

This staff report is for the ATP Safe Route to School Grant as entered and accepted by the City on August 13, 2025.

The scope of the grant is to provide pedestrian improvements for safe route to school around Adelanto High school, Donald F. Bradach Elementary School, and Victoria Magathan Elementary School with a total award of $9,121,000. Allowable administrative costs under the grant are $300,000. So far, $69,000 have already been expended, and therefore the remaining admin amount to be allocated is $231,000.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no impact to the General Fund. A Purchase Order for Grant Administration will be created for ZSE to bill against under CIP Project No. 2026-06.

Items on the Consent Calendar will be presented as one motion during the General Assembly from the Resolutions Committee chair. Unless an item on the Consent Calendar is set aside by the majority of the General Assembly, a vote will be taken on the whole calendar. If an item is set aside, it will be opened for discussion, followed by a vote.

Items on the Regular Calendar will be presented individually by the Resolutions Committee chair. After a recommendation is presented by the Resolutions Committee chair, the resolution will be opened for discussion by the General Assembly. A vote will take place following discussion.

Voting Procedures:

Per Cal Cities Bylaws Article XII, Sec. 2, all votes will be conducted by voice vote first. If the presiding official cannot determine the outcome, a vote will be taken by an alternative method, typically a raise of voting cards by voting delegates. A roll call vote may be called for by delegates of ten percent or more of the General Assembly.

Referred to: Housing, Community, and Economic Development Policy Committee WHEREAS, California cities have historically been responsible for adopting general plans and zoning regulations, reviewing housing development proposals, and providing or coordinating the streets, water, wastewater, public safety, parks, transportation, and other infrastructure and services necessary to support responsible, environmentally sound, and well-planned residential growth; and
WHEREAS, the League of California Cities is dedicated to protecting and expanding local control for municipalities across the state to ensure their orderly growth and development; and
WHEREAS, the League of California Cities recognizes that local zoning is a primary function of cities and an essential component of home rule, and that a city’s general plan should guide its land use planning and strategic decision-making free from pre-emption by the state; and
WHEREAS, increasingly prescriptive statewide housing mandates and development approval requirements can override locally adopted plans, zoning standards, and public review procedures without adequately accounting for differences that exist in each unique jurisdiction in infrastructure capacity, water availability, wildfire and evacuation risks, environmental constraints, fiscal impacts, public service needs, and community priorities; and
WHEREAS, California’s housing goals can be more effectively advanced through state funding, streamlined environmental requirements, and voluntary partnerships that support housing production while preserving the authority of locally elected officials to determine how and where housing is best planned and approved; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the General Assembly of the League of California Cities, assembled during the Annual Conference in Anaheim, California, on September 25, 2026, that the League of California Cities support the development and advancement of a state constitutional amendment or other legislative, policy, or ballotbased strategies that restore and strengthen local authority over housing and land use matters within municipal boundaries, including general plans, housing elements, zoning, density, design and development standards, project siting, and the approval or denial of housing development applications; and

2026 Resolution Packet
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that any constitutional amendment or alternative strategy should preserve the State’s authority to establish broad statewide housing goals and enforce constitutional and civil rights, fair housing requirements, building and life-safety standards, and generally applicable environmental protections, while protecting cities from state actions that compel, through funding conditions or state law, the approval of housing developments that are inconsistent with locally adopted requirements; override local zoning or density standards; or invalidate locally adopted housing or land use decisions when a city has planned in good faith to accommodate its regional housing needs allocation and maintains adequate capacity for housing at all income levels; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the League of California Cities consider establishing a statewide working group or other appropriate committee(s) to evaluate and develop a proposed constitutional amendment or other legislative, policy, or ballot-based strategies to restore and strengthen local authority over housing and land use matters including but limited to: conducting appropriate legal, fiscal, and policy analyses; engaging cities and other stakeholders; and building a statewide coalition of proponent supporters in preparation for; the November 2030 General Election, or within another reasonable time frame as determined by the working group.

Background Information for Resolution
Source: City of Murrieta
Background:

California cities are responsible for planning residential growth, adopting general plans and zoning regulations, reviewing development proposals, and providing or coordinating the infrastructure and public services necessary to support new housing. Since 2010, the State has enacted more than 500 housing-related laws that have increasingly shifted housing and land use authority away from local governments. These laws have expanded by-right development, limited locally adopted standards and review processes, and established enforcement mechanisms, including the builder’s remedy, that may override local plans and zoning. Although these measures are frequently presented as solutions to housing affordability, many increase development capacity or restrict local review without delivering the meaningful production of housing needed to address the housing crisis.

At the same time, the State has continued to prioritize increased development capacity without adequately accounting for the infrastructure, public services, economic realities, and safety measures necessary to support housing growth.

State mandates often fail to reflect local conditions, including roadway and utility capacity, water availability, wildfire exposure, environmental limitations, fiscal impacts, and the availability of essential services. Cities are consequently required to accommodate additional housing while receiving no funding or assistance to address the resulting infrastructure and service demands.

Local elected officials are directly accountable to the residents who experience the effects of development decisions and are responsible for balancing housing production with infrastructure capacity, public safety, environmental protection, fiscal sustainability, and community needs. Cities of all types in California have been grappling with this dynamic, ranging from urban to rural, coastal to inland, small to large, northern to southern, voicing concerns to legislative representatives with minimal responsiveness. This is an issue of statewide concern that needs the strength and diversity of the League of California Cities to pursue a long-term solution.

The proposed resolution directs the League of California Cities to establish a statewide working group to evaluate a constitutional amendment or other legislative, policy, or ballot-based strategies to restore and strengthen local authority over housing and land use decisions. The working group would be tasked with developing a more balanced framework that preserves the State’s role in establishing broad housing goals and enforcing constitutional, civil rights, fair housing, building, life-safety, and environmental requirements, while restoring meaningful local authority to allow cities to determine how statewide housing 9 220

objectives should be implemented in a manner that reflects local conditions and community priorities while continuing to support responsible housing production.

As the primary statewide organization representing California cities, the League is uniquely positioned to lead this effort. Its established policy, legal, legislative, communications, and advocacy networks enable it to convene municipalities, evaluate potential strategies, conduct legal and fiscal analyses, build consensus, engage stakeholders, and coordinate with statewide decision-makers. League leadership would help ensure that any recommendation reflects the collective interests of California municipalities and would provide the credibility, organizational capacity, and statewide reach necessary to advance a viable strategy.

Subject: Support for the City of Murrieta's Resolution Establishing a Working Group to Evaluate a State Constitutional Amendment or Other Initiative to Restore Local Housing and Land Use Authority Dear President Quinto:

I am writing in my individual capacity as Mayor of the City of Temecula to express my strong support for the City of Murrieta's proposed resolution for consideration by the General Assembly of the League of California Cities at the 2026 Annual Conference.

The proposed resolution presents an important opportunity to thoughtfully evaluate the appropriate balance between California's statewide housing objectives and the constitutional principle of local governance. Establishing a statewide working group to examine a potential constitutional amendment, legislative reforms, or other policy initiatives will provide a meaningful forum to assess how local authority over housing and land use decisions can be strengthened while continuing to address the State's housing challenges.

Cities are uniquely positioned to understand the needs, opportunities, and constraints of their communities. Local elected officials are accountable to the residents they serve and are best equipped to make land use decisions that reflect a community's character, infrastructure capacity, economic development goals, environmental stewardship, and long-term vision. Equally important, local governments bear the primary responsibility for protecting public safety. Decisions regarding housing density, transportation, emergency access, wildfire preparedness, evacuation routes, police and fire service capacity, water availability, and critical infrastructure are inherently local matters that require the knowledge and judgment of those who serve their communities every day.

While the State has an important role in addressing California's housing needs, a collaborative approach that respects local expertise and preserves meaningful local discretion will produce stronger, safer, and more sustainable communities. The proposed working group offers an opportunity to evaluate policies that achieve these shared objectives while restoring an appropriate balance between state direction and local authority.
