Town Council Agenda Report
Date: February 13, 2024
To: Honorable Mayor and Town Council
Subject: YUCCA LOMA ROAD WIDENING – APPLE VALLEY ROAD TO HIGHWAY 18
From: Douglas Robertson, Town Manager
Submitted by: Michael Podegracz, Town Engineer
Engineering
Budgeted Item: Yes No N/A

RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the Town Council provide direction regarding the widening of Yucca Loma Road between Apple Valley Road and Highway 18.

BACKGROUND
Yucca Loma Road, from Apple Valley Road to Outer Highway 18/Navajo Road, generally consists of a two-lane arterial roadway with unimproved dirt shoulders. The intersection at Yucca Loma Road and Apple Valley Road is fully signalized. There are four-way stop controlled intersections at Rincon Road and Kiowa Road. The intersection at Outer Highway 18/Navajo Road is controlled by a two-way stop, with signalization at Navajo Road and Highway 18.

With the completion of the Yucca Loma Road/Green Tree Boulevard Project, a third corridor is now available to Apple Valley citizens in accessing neighboring cities as well as Interstate 15. This has become evident during peak morning and afternoon periods when traffic backs up on westbound Yucca Loma Road east of Apple Valley Road, and at Yucca Loma Road and Rincon Road. In anticipation of the need to widen Yucca Loma Road east of Apple Valley Road, the Town entered into a contract in 2015 with Kimley Horn and Associates, Inc. to complete the design of Yucca Loma Road from Apple Valley Road to Rincon Road from two to four lanes. Design was completed in 2019, however funding constrains prevented the project from moving forward to construction.

Page 132 of 140 ends

ANALYSIS
As indicated, design plans for the widening of Yucca Loma Road between Apple Valley Road and Rincon Road have been completed. The improvements involve the complete removal of existing paving, grading of a new wider roadway, installation of new curb, gutter and sidewalk, installation of new base material and asphalt paving resulting in four travel lanes (two in each direction) and a center median, and connections to existing driveways. However, there are design and construction constraints that need to be evaluated that could impact the timing, cost, and operational efficiency of the improvements.
 The segment between Apple Valley Road and approximately 1,200 feet (one quarter mile) east of Apple Valley Road fronts undeveloped property (except for the gas station on the southeast corner of Apple Valley Road) and the construction in this segment could be phased so that two lanes of traffic are open at all times during construction. All improvements can be completed within existing right-of-way.
 The segment east of the limit as described above is approximately 4,300 feet (to Rincon Road). Although final street improvements would all be located within existing right-of-way, grade differentials between the widened roadway and existing improved properties would require the acquisition of approximately 25 Temporary Construction Easements (TCE) to accommodate the installation of retaining walls for the installation of new sidewalks and driveway connections.  The current design at Rincon Road includes retaining the four-way stop control but would widen the intersection from two to four lanes in each direction including a dedicated left turn lane. Even with the widened lanes, the four-way stop control may not be able to accommodate future traffic demands, and other alternatives, such as a signalized intersection or a round-about, should be considered.  And finally, although the current completed design terminates at Rincon Road, it is anticipated that traffic volumes will increase on Yucca Loma Road east of Rincon Road, up to and including the intersection at Navajo Road/Outer Highway

18. The latter intersection was identified as the seventh highest location of intersection collisions in the Town’s 2022 Local Roadway Safety Plan (LRSP).

Based on these considerations, staff is recommending a three phased approach as identified below:

1. Proceed with the preparation of bidding and contract documents for the reconstruction and widening of Yucca Loma Road from Apple Valley Road to

Page 133 of 140 ends

approximately 1,200 feet east of Apple Valley Road (Exhibit A). A bid packet can be prepared in approximately two months as the design plans have already been completed and no right-of-way is required. It is anticipated that construction could commence in early summer of this year and be completed by the end of 2024. The estimated cost of this segment is $1.5 million. This project is not included in the Town’s adopted Fiscal Year 2023-24 Budget, therefor, a budget amendment would be required.

2. Include in the Town’s Fiscal Year 2024-25 Budget the acquisition of all necessary TCEs required for the construction of improvements in Yucca Loma Road between the segment identified in Item 1 above and Rincon Road (Exhibit B). It is anticipated that this process may take anywhere from 6 months to one year.

3. Include in the Town’s Fiscal Year 2024-25 Budget, the study and design of Yucca Loma Road from Rincon Road to Navajo Road/Outer Highway 18 (Exhibit B). This study would include a complete Intersection Control Evaluation of the intersections at Rincon Road, Kiowa Road, and Navajo Road/Outer Highway 18 to identify the alternative intersection improvements to address current and future traffic needs.

FISCAL IMPACT
Should the Council approve the staff recommendation as identified above, bid documents would be prepared for the first segment of Yucca Loma Road, from Apple Valley Road to 1,200 feet east (Item No. 1 above). The request for bids would be advertised, and a recommendation for award with the accompanying budget resolution would be presented to the Council for consideration and approval. The project would be funded by the Town’s Traffic Impact Fee ($825,000 or 55%) and the San Bernardino Transportation Agency Major Local Highway Program ($675,000 or 45%).

Items No. 2 and 3 above would be included in the Town’s Fiscal Year 2024/2025 Capital Improvement Program and Budget.

Town Council Agenda Report
Date: February 13, 2024
To: Honorable Mayor and Town Council
Subject: PARKS PRIORITY PROJECTS AND QUIMBY FUNDING

From: Douglas Robertson, Town Manager
Submitted by: Orlando Acevedo, Assistant Town Manager
Parks and Recreation
Budgeted Item: Yes No N/A

RECOMMENDED ACTION
That the Town Council: (1) approve the Parks and Recreation Infrastructure and Capital Projects Priority List; and (2) authorize the allocation of Quimby Funds to the parks projects in accordance with the Parks and Recreation Infrastructure and Capital Projects Priority List.

BACKGROUND
In December 2023, staff requested that the Parks and Recreation Commission discuss a priority list of needs of the Town’s Parks and Recreation infrastructure. Although the Parks and Recreation 2013 Master Plan sets forth some priorities, a more up-to-date evaluation and discussion was requested, given the evolving demand on the Town’s parks, fields, facilities, playgrounds, and more.

For example, after COVID, the Town’s user groups are operating with historically high volumes of participants and while this is generally a positive and welcomed phenomenon, it also has real-time impacts on the Town’s service levels and maintenance requirements and costs. Moreover, many of the Town’s facilities and infrastructure are rapidly reaching their useful lifespan and in need of costly repairs or full replacement. In addition, as times change, new sports and interests gain traction and demand that were not considered as part of the Master Plan, such as pickleball, where a growing number of community members are requesting the Town add courts to our parks.

The Parks and Recreation Commission previously held a very similar discussion just before COVID in early 2020. In contrast to that discussion, however, the Town’s executive staff has since determined that Quimby funds, derived from development impact fees paid by new projects, are available for development of new parks and rehabilitation of existing

Page 138 of 140 ends

parks. This determination is a departure from previous discussions but represents an important and positive development in how the Town can fund Parks and Recreation infrastructure. Accordingly, additional projects are now available for consideration, including replacement of existing playgrounds, restrooms, and ballfield improvements.

As of late January, the estimated Quimby fund balance is $1,742,000. Over the last few years, the Town has funded only a few projects using Quimby dollars, including the installation of the Civic Center Park Pavilion in 2021, the purchase of exercise equipment for James Woody, Brewster, and Thunderbird, along with parking lot resurfacing (east), field fence replacement, and a new restroom (Field 5) at James Woody. Where possible, the Town used Quimby dollars as a local match to garner additional state grants.

ANALYSIS
To facilitate and focus the Commission’s discussion at their December 7, 2023 meeting, Town staff curated the list of items presented that evening, given staff’s day-to-day management and working knowledge of these matters. To launch the initial discussion, the Town’s Assistant Town Manager requested each of the Parks and Recreation divisions, namely, Recreation, Grounds, Golf Course, and Facilities, present their highest priority projects and then together with the Town’s Municipal Services Director, discussed and vetted those items before presenting them to the Commission and community at the Commission’s December meeting.

Because of the Town’s limited fiscal resources, it is important to note that not all of the items presented and discussed can be funded and accomplished immediately—some items will need to be addressed at a later date, when funding is procured or allocated.

Accordingly, in addition to requesting that the Council prioritize projects for funding this year, staff is also preparing to create a new Parks and Recreation Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan to forecast and budget for longer range projects, which is anticipated to be included in the Town’s annual budget document, beginning in Fiscal Year 2024-25.

This new process will help to improve the Town’s Parks and Recreation master planning and budgeting as well as provide more clarity, transparency and visioning for staff, the Commission, the Town Council, and importantly, our residents and customers.

The Commission meeting was a necessary and helpful exercise to not only determine priority of projects but to better inform our stakeholders that not all projects can be funded until such time as new revenue sources are determined. Nevertheless, staff and the Commission are excited to accomplish some of these projects in the coming months and staff have already begun the procurement process for some of these items and will move forward pending Council approval this evening.
