The amount of Article 3 funds to be available for the award was $5,760,000. The closing date for the Call for Projects was July 7, 2023.
The TDA provides that two percent of the State of California Local Transportation Funds (LTF) be made available to counties and cities for facilities for the exclusive use of bicyclists and pedestrians, known as the TDA Article 3 Program. In August 1999, the SBCTA Board (Board) approved a policy that 80 percent of TDA Article 3 funds would be made available for projects that implement or improve bicycle and pedestrian facilities.
The remaining 20 percent of the TDA Article 3 program would be made available for projects that improve access to transit stops for pedestrians and persons with disabilities.
On October 13, 2023, the SBCTA Board of Directors approved funding from the TDA Article 3 Bicycle and Pedestrian Facilities Program for the McConnell Park Multi-Use Path in the amount of $240,426. This Project will construct a new concrete multi-use path along Pahute Road leading from Navajo Road to the newly constructed Captain Joseph McConnell Jr., USAF Park. The project is currently under design with a goal of being completed by June 2024. The Town’s overall goal is to finish all improvements and open the park in mid- to late 2025. Although the timeline is aggressive, the Town and design firm believe it’s realistic and have prepared a critical path schedule to ensure timeliness.
As a requirement of the TDA Article 3 grant, agencies are required to adopt a resolution authorizing submittal of a claim form to SBCTA.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Town’s General Fund will be reimbursed in the amount of $240,426.

Subject: PROFESSIONAL SERVICE AGREEMENT FOR PLANNING
CONTRACT SERVICES BETWEEN THE TOWN OF APPLE VALLEY
AND INTERWEST CONSULTING GROUP INC.
From: Douglas Robertson, Town Manager
Submitted by: Daniel Alcayaga, AICP, Planning Manager
Planning
Budgeted Item: Yes No N/A
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Approve a Professional Service Agreement (PSA) between the Town of Apple Valley and Interwest Consulting Group, Inc., in the amount of $170,000, for Planning Contract Services.
BACKGROUND
Since November 2022, Interwest Consulting Group (Interwest) has provided planning consulting services to help Town staff process an unprecedented number of land use applications for large industrial developments in North Apple Valley. Interwest was selected out of three planning consulting firms in part because of their understanding of the required scope of services as well as their technical expertise and excellent references. Staff originally was able to procure for services because the cost of services did not exceed $50,000.
ANALYSIS
In the last 18 months, however, the number of land use applications has grown to over 20 million square feet of new industrial development projects. An extension to the contract was made in November 2023, but the cost for services is now expected to exceed $50,000 requiring Town Council authorization. In addition, a vacancy has recently occurred in the Planning Division for the Assistant Planner position. Interwest is ready, able, and has demonstrated a high-quality workproduct to-date in order to continue to
provide the Town with contract services during this period of high workload demand and staffing vacancy.
FISCAL IMPACT
The PSA is not-to-exceed an amount of $170,000. The Town does not incur a cost in processing applications for large industrial development by utilizing services by Interwest.
These costs are passthrough, as staff has executed “Indemnification and Reimbursement Agreements” between the Town and Applicants of proposed industrial developments, in order to better accommodate project timelines. Such agreements ensure that the Town can recover all consultant fees, as well as attorney fees associated with processing land use applications, as well as expedite projects. A small portion of the contract will be expended from unspent funds of the vacacnt Assistant Planner position. The PSA is for a term of 17 months, retroactive to February 1, 2024, and valid through June 31, 2025.
The funds were accounted for in FY 23-24 and are expected to continue through FY 24-

3.6.3.3 Right to Use. Town shall not be limited in any way in its use or reuse of the Documents and Data or any part of them at any time for purposes of this Project or another project, provided that any such use not within the purposes intended by this Agreement or on a project other than this Project without employing the services of Consultant shall be at Town’s sole risk. If Town uses or reuses the Documents & Data on any project other than this Project, it shall remove the Consultant’s seal from the Documents & Data and indemnify and hold harmless Consultant and its officers, directors, agents and employees from claims arising out of the negligent use or re-use of the Documents & Data on such other project.

Nor shall such materials be disclosed to any person or entity not connected with the performance of the Services or the Project. Nothing furnished to Consultant which is otherwise known to Consultant or is generally known, or has become known, to the related industry shall be deemed confidential. Consultant shall not use Town's name or insignia, photographs of the Project, or any publicity pertaining to the Services or the Project in any magazine, trade paper, newspaper, television or radio production or other similar medium without the prior written consent of Town.
3.6.3.6 Confidential Information. The Town shall refrain from releasing Consultant’s proprietary information ("Proprietary Information") unless the Town's legal counsel determines that the release of the Proprietary Information is required by the California Public Records Act or other applicable state or federal law, or order of a court of competent jurisdiction, in which case the Town shall notify Consultant of its intention to release Proprietary Information.
Consultant shall have five (5) working days after receipt of the release notice to give Town written notice of Consultant's objection to the Town's release of Proprietary Information. Consultant shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Town, and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against all liability, loss, cost or expense (including attorney’s fees) arising out of a legal action brought to compel the release of Proprietary Information.

Any person or entity seeking indemnification under this Section 3.6.5 shall promptly report the matter to Consultant such that defense of the matter is not compromised.
3.6.5.2 If Consultant’s obligation to defend, indemnify, and/or hold harmless arises out of Consultant’s performance as a “design professional” (as that term is defined under Civil Code section 2782.8), then, and only to the extent required by Civil Code section 2782.8, which is fully incorporated herein, Consultant’s indemnification obligation shall be limited to claims that arise out of, pertain to, or relate to the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of the Consultant, and, upon Consultant obtaining a final adjudication by a court of competent jurisdiction, Consultant’s liability for such claim, including the cost to defend, shall not exceed the Consultant’s proportionate percentage of fault.

OF APPLE VALLEY, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING SECTION
1.01.200, SUBSECTION (E)(4) OF THE APPLE VALLEY
MUNICIPAL CODE AS IT RELATES TO ALLOWABLE
ILLEGAL CANNABIS CULTIVATION ADMINISTRATIVE
FINES
WHEREAS, the Town’s Code Enforcement Division currently enforces the Town’s rules and regulations relating to the illegal cultivation of cannabis; and WHEREAS, amendments to the Town’s Municipal Code are necessary to allow Town Code Enforcement Officers to more effectively and efficiently enforce these rules and to align these rules with State law; and
WHEREAS, the amendments are necessary to uphold the Town Council’s intent of the Code; and
WHEREAS, it is the objective of the Town of Apple Valley through code enforcement efforts to preserve and enhance properties located within the Town limits.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE TOWN COUNCIL OF THE TOWN OF APPLE VALLEY DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The recitals above are true and correct and are hereby incorporated herein by this reference.
Section 2. Section 1.01.200, Subsection (e)(4) of Title 1 of the Town of Apple Valley Municipal Code is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:
“(4) Exception: The administrative citation penalty for commercial marijuana business or operation or prohibited residential marijuana cultivation in violation of Apple Valley Development Code Chapters 9.29 or 9.36 and any zoning, building, plumbing, electrical, or other similar structural, health and safety code violation that exists as a result of, or to facilitate, the illegal cultivation of marijuana shall be $1,000.00 per violation not to exceed $10,000.00 per day.”
Section 3. Except as expressly amended hereby, all other provisions of Title 1 of the Town of Apple Valley Municipal Code shall remain in effect.
Section 4. Compliance with California Environmental Quality Act. This Ordinance has been assessed in accordance with the authority and criteria contained in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the State CEQA Guidelines and it has been determined that approval of the Ordinance is exempt from further environmental review under
the general rule in California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) that CEQA only applies to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. As a series of text amendments and additions without any physical project being approved, it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the amendments to the Municipal Code will have a significant effect on the environment.
The Town Council concurs in these findings and adopts them as its own.
Section 5. Severability. If any section, sentence, clause or phrase of this Ordinance or the application thereof to any entity, person or circumstance is held for any reason to be invalid or unconstitutional, such invalidity or unconstitutionality shall not affect other provisions or applications of this Ordinance which can be given effect without the invalid provision or application, and to this end the provisions of this Ordinance are severable. The Town Council of the Town of Apple Valley hereby declares that it would have adopted this Ordinance and each section, sentence, clause or phrase thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more section, subsections, sentences, clauses or phrases be declared invalid or unconstitutional.
Section 6. Notice of Adoption. The Town Clerk of the Town of Apple Valley shall certify to the adoption of this ordinance and cause publication to occur in a newspaper of general circulation and published and circulated in the Town in a manner permitted under Section 36933 of the Government Code of the State of California.
Section 7. Effective Date. This Ordinance shall become effective thirty (30) days after the date of its adoption.
APPROVED, and ADOPTED by the Town Council of the Town of Apple Valley, California, at a regular meeting held on this 23rd day of April, 2024. _____________________________

Town Council Agenda Report
Date: April 23, 2024
To: Honorable Mayor and Town Council
Subject: PURCHASE OF SECURITY CAMERAS AND IMPLEMENTATION
SERVICES
From: Douglas Robertson, Town Manager
Submitted by: Brandon Cales, Innovation and Technology Officer Innovation and Technology
Budgeted Item: Yes No N/A
RECOMMENDED ACTION
That Council authorize the purchase of additional security cameras and implementation services for the Town’s existing Verkada solution from Matrix Audio Visual Designs, Inc. in the amount not to exceed $165,000.00, and authorize the Town Manager or designee to execute appropriate agreements and documentation; pending Town Council approval of the Fiscal Year 2023-24 Mid-Year Budget Amendment.
BACKGROUND
This purchase will provide security camera additions at the Singh Center for the Arts.
The security camera system for Town facilities was first implemented in fiscal year 2021- 2022, to replace equipment that did not meet requirements and was failing to a point of inoperability. The Department of Innovation and Technology has standardized on camera systems from Verkada, which provides a unified platform at all Town facilities. In subsequent fiscal years, additional cameras will continue to be added to adequately provide necessary coverage for the protection of Town facilities and assets. The Verkada solution provides the latest security camera technology that is smart, secure and easy to manage.
The purchase is exempt from the Town’s standard bidding procedures pursuant to Apple Valley Municipal Code section 3.12.270, subdivisions (2) and (10) because the equipment, which must be compatible with the existing system, can only reasonably be obtained from a single vendor and because the contract involves piggybacking on another competitively awarded contract.
FISCAL IMPACT
This purchase will be funded by the Singh Center for the Arts Fund pending approval from Council for the Fiscal Year 2023-24 Mid-Year Budget Amendment and the Department of Innovation and Technology. This purchase follows competitive pricing through the California Multiple Award Schedule s (CMAS) cooperative agreement 3-20-11-0100A.
Funding consists of $160,000 from the Singh Center for the Arts Fund and $5,000 from the IT General Fund budget.

Town Council Agenda Report
Date: April 23, 2024
To: Honorable Mayor and Town Council
Subject: 2024-2025 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN
From: Douglas Robertson, Town Manager
Submitted by: Silvia Urenda, HCD Supervisor
Housing and Community Development
Budgeted Item: Yes No N/A
RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the Town of Apple Valley (“Town”) Council:
A. Conduct a public hearing and receive comments on the draft 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan (AAP) for the use of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds, and HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) funds.
B. Approve the Community Development Citizen Advisory Committee (CDCAC) funding recommendations for the 2024-2025 Third-Year AAP, an annual component of the Five-Year 2022-2026 Consolidated Plan (“Consolidated Plan”).
C. Approve the CDCAC’s and staff’s methodology on distributing funds should the Town’s 2024-2025 CDBG and HOME annual allocation increase or decrease.
D. Authorize the Town Manager to execute all necessary HUD documents on behalf of the Town.
BACKGROUND
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) mandates that all entitlement communities receiving CDBG and HOME funds prepare and submit a Consolidated Plan every five years to establish a unified, strategic, vision for housing and community development actions. The Consolidated Plan encompasses the analysis of local community needs and coordinates appropriate responses to those needs and
priorities. To ensure compliance with the Consolidated Plan, the Town is required to submit an AAP each year. The AAP will appropriate CDBG and HOME Consortium funds for the upcoming 2024- 2025 program year (PY).
In preparation of the AAP, applications were published in the Valley Wide News on December 1, 2023, and December 8, 2023, in English and Spanish. In addition, hard copies were made available at the Town’s Development Services Building and electronically on the Town’s website. Applications were due January 25, 2024, at 4:30 p.m.
A technical assistance workshop for interested participants was held on December 13, 2023. The purpose of the workshop was to allow Town staff to explain the application process and answer any questions. On March 7, 2024, the Community Development Citizen Advisory Committee (CDCAC) held a public hearing to receive public testimony on the submitted Public Service applications and provide funding recommendations for inclusion in the draft 2024-2025 Action Plan.
ANALYSIS
Based upon the information received from the applications and in consideration of the Town’s five-year goals, the proposed 2024-2025 Action Plan funding recommendations are attached hereto as Exhibit “A” for Town Council’s consideration. The recommended funding allocations are in accordance with the goals of the Action Plan. The Town Council retains complete discretion to modify or disregard the funding recommendations as presented and may propose alternative funding allocations.
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
CDBG funds are to be used for projects that promote the development of viable, urban communities by providing decent housing, suitable living environments and expanded economic opportunities, principally for persons of low-to-moderate-income status. All CDBG-funded projects must meet one of the following national objectives: 1) Principally benefit low-to- moderate-income persons; 2) Eliminate slums and blight; or 3) Meet an urgent need. The types of projects and programs which may be considered for funding, subject to National Objectives compliance, include acquisition, disposition, public facilities and improvements, residential rehabilitation, clearance activities, public services, interim assistance, removal of architectural barriers and special economic development activities.
At the time of this meeting, HUD has not yet released the Town’s annual allocation for the 2024-2025 PY. For this reason, HUD has instructed the Town to prepare the draft 2024- 2025 AAP utilizing the Town’s current annual allocation. For the program year beginning July 1, 2024, the Town anticipates receiving a total of $652,733 in CDBG funds. HUD regulations allow a maximum of 20 percent ($130,546) of grant funds for eligible
Administration/Planning activities. HUD regulations also allow for a maximum of 15 percent of the annual allocation ($97,909) to be allocated for Public Service activities. The balance of the funds, ($424,278) are recommended to be allocated to capital improvements within the Town. The Town is expected to spend no less than 70 percent of its funds to benefit low- and moderate- income individuals and areas. The remaining 30 percent of funds may be reserved to address any slum/blight, or urgent need national objective activity(ies).
HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME)
The Town participates in a consortium with the City of Victorville (“City”) to qualify for HOME entitlement status with HUD. The successful formation of the consortium has resulted in an annual allocation of HOME funds to both communities. The consortium identifies the Town as the lead agency and the City as a Participating Jurisdiction.
HOME funds may be used to develop and support affordable rental housing and homeownership affordability through acquisition (including assistance to homebuyers), new construction, reconstruction or rehabilitation of non-luxury housing with suitable amenities, including real property acquisition, site improvements, conversion, demolition and other expenses, including financing costs, relocation expenses of any displaced persons, families, businesses, or organizations; to provide tenant-based rental assistance, including security deposits; to provide payment of reasonable administrative and planning costs; and, to provide for the payment of operating expenses of Community Housing Development Organizations (CHDOs).
At the time of this meeting, HUD has not yet released the Consortium’s annual allocation for the 2024-2025 PY. For this reason, HUD has instructed the Town to prepare the draft 2024-2025 AAP utilizing the Consortium’s current annual allocation. The Consortium anticipates receiving $911,188 in HOME funds during the 2024-2025 PY. Of this amount, the Town is projected to receive approximately $289,829 and the City approximately $621,359. The projected percentage shares (Apple Valley: 33.51%; Victorville: 66.49%) are determined by HUD’s formula allocation and annually reviewed. At this time, the funds match waiver percentage share for 2024-2025 PY has not been published; however, it is anticipated that the funds match waiver percentage requirement will be waived. As the lead agency, the Town is allocated 50% of the Victorville’s portion of program administration. During the 2024-2025 PY, the Town has elected to allocate its CHDO reserve funds to the City’s Northgate Village Apartments Project.
Methodology
If the Town’s 2024-2025 CDBG and HOME annual allocations should change, a request of the Town Council is being made to provide staff and the public with a methodology for which activity budgets will be adjusted. It is recommended that Town Council adopt
the following language for adjusting activity budgets for the CDBG and HOME program should the Town’s 2024-2025 annual allocation change:
CDBG
Should the CDBG allocation be higher than $652,733:
o The CDBG Administration budget will be increased to meet the 20% administration cap allowed under the CDBG
program.
o The Public Service budget will be increased to maximize the 15% public service cap allowed under the CDBG program.
Furthermore, the increase shall be proportionally distributed to the following public service activities: Community Health Action Network – Emergency Assistance Program; Feed My
Sheep – Feeding Apple Valley; and Ruth and Naomi Project – Sustenance to Services for Seniors.
o The balance of additional funds will be allocated to the Residential Rehabilitation Program.
o Funding levels for all outstanding activities will remain the same as proposed in the 2024-2025 AAP.
Should the CDBG allocation be lower than $652,733:
o The CDBG Administration budget will be reduced to be
compliant with the 20% administration cap allowed under the CDBG program.
o The Public Service budget will be reduced to be compliant with the 15% public service cap allowed under the CDBG
program. Furthermore, the reduction shall be proportionally deducted from the following public service activities:
Community Health Action Network – Emergency Assistance
Program; and Feed My Sheep – Feeding Apple Valley.
o The balance of funds will be deducted from the Residential Rehabilitation Program.
o Funding levels for all outstanding activities will remain the same as proposed in the 2024-2025 AAP.
HOME
Should the HOME allocation be higher than $911,188:
o The HOME Administration budget will be increased to meet the 10% administration cap allowed under the HOME
program (amounts distributed based on HOME Consortia
Percentages and Memorandum of Understanding between
the Town and City).
o The CHDO Set-Aside budget will be increased to meet the 15% minimum CHDO Set-Aside Requirement under the
HOME program and allocated to the City’s National
Renaissance Northgate Village Apartments Project.
o The balance of additional funds will be allocated to the Town’s Residential Rehabilitation Program and the City’s Senior Home Rehabilitation Program (amounts distributed based on HOME Consortia Percentages and Memorandum
of Understanding between the Town and City).
o Funding levels for all outstanding activities will remain the same as proposed in the 2024-2025 AAP.
Should HOME allocation be lower than $911,188:
o The HOME Administration budget will be reduced to be
compliant with the 10% administration cap allowed under the HOME program (amounts distributed based on HOME
Consortia Percentages and Memorandum of Understanding
between the Town and City).
o The CHDO Set-Aside budget will be reduced to the 15%
minimum CHDO Set-Aside Requirement under the HOME
program and deducted from the City’s National Renaissance Northgate Village Apartments Project.
o The balance of funds will be deducted from the Town’s Residential Rehabilitation Program and the City’s Senior Home Rehabilitation Program (amounts distributed based on HOME Consortia Percentages and Memorandum of
Understanding between the Town and City).
o Funding levels for all outstanding activities will remain the same as proposed in the 2024-2025 AAP.
A full copy of the draft 2024-2025 Action Plan may be available on the Town’s website at www.applevalley.org.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no impact on the Town’s General Fund. The Town’s and Consortium’s 2024- 2025 CDBG and HOME entitlement are projected to be $652,733 and $911,188. Town Council’s approval of the recommended action adopts the 2024-2025 AAP allocating those anticipated resources to the programs and activities outlined therein which will be incorporated into the Housing and Community Development Department’s 2024-2025 CDBG and HOME budgets as required to meet the mandates of the plan. CDBG and HOME funds may only be utilized for certain eligible expenses and the 2024-2025 AAP satisfies those requirements.

Subject: FISCAL YEAR 2023-24 MID-YEAR BUDGET REVIEW
From: Douglas Robertson, Town Manager
Submitted by: Emad Gewaily, Director of Finance
Finance
Budgeted Item: Yes No N/A
RECOMMENDED ACTION
A. That the Town Council receive and file the Fiscal Year 2023-24 Mid-Year Budget Review Report.
B. Approve Budget Amendment incorporating revenue and expenditure changes and carry forwards as proposed herein.
SUMMARY:
Town Council adopted the Fiscal Year 2023-24 Budget, effective July 1, 2023, with resolution number 2023-24 on June 27, 2023. The mid-year budget review is an opportunity for staff to use actual operating results of that budget through the first three quarters of the fiscal year, as of March 31, 2024, to recommend adjustments of the budgeted forecasts to accommodate changes in revenue and expenditure estimates.
The primary purpose of this report is to provide a summarized update on the status of the Town’s budget, highlighting the changes, issues and opportunities that may need to be addressed beyond the halfway point of the fiscal year. These budget adjustments is the starting point that will determine the base-line for next year’s budget. The report addresses major changes in the General Fund and certain Enterprise Funds revenue and appropriation budget, smaller changes was not considered for this budget adjustment but will be considered during the annual budget process.
BACKGROUND:
The Town Council adopted the Fiscal Year (FY) 2023-24 Operating and Capital Improvement budget on June 27, 2023. The Adopted Operating and Capital Improvement budget is the Town’s one- year spending plan for FY 2023-24. It serves as a planning guide for the ensuing fiscal year and demonstrates progress towards implementation of the Town Council’s long-term goals as outlined in the Vision 2020 plan. The adopted budget also demonstrates how established short-term goals and objectives will be implemented over the next year. It demonstrates how available resources are matched against the Town’s service priorities to provide essential services to the community. It underscores the Town’s continued commitment to provide more efficient services to residents and maintain adequate resources for unforeseen emergencies.
After adoption, financial events occur throughout the year that impact upon the budget and the implementation of spending priorities outlined therein. These events necessitate adjusting the budget projections from time to time during the fiscal year to keep the spending plan up-to-date based on current financial conditions.
In total, adjustments to the estimated revenue projections in the FY 2023-24 General Fund adopted budget amount to an increase of $900,000 and total expenditures and transfers-out are proposed to increase by $851,390 of which $267,190 is roll over budget from prior fiscal year. On an “all funds” basis, total revenues and transfers-in are proposed to increase by $1,317,500 and total expenditures and transfers-out are proposed to increase by $1,548,890. These mid-year adjustments to the FY 2023-24 General Fund adopted budget are summarized in attachment A attached hereto.
The focus of the mid-year budget review presentation is primarily the Town’s General Fund revenues and expenditure. Most of the Town’s operating expenditure is accounted for within this fund. Other special revenue fund budgets, such as the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) or Home Funds, do not usually require adjustments at mid- year due to the specific nature of the resource allocations and program requirements. When revenues for these special revenue funds are not fully expended during the year, balances are carried forward for re-appropriation in the subsequent years’ budget process.
For FY 2023-24, the total adopted General Fund revenue budget was $35.8 million and expenditure and transfers-out budget was $41.1 million. The preliminary results of FY 2022-23 show a $22.1 million beginning fund balance in the General Fund, which includes non-spendable, restricted, assigned, and unassigned balances. The determination of these balances will depend on the final figures in the Town’s General Fund financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2023. The Table below shows
the impact of the FY 2023-24 adjustments proposed on the fund balance of the General Fund.
Based on staff’s analysis of the current year’s operating revenues and expenditures and based upon information and input provided by all departments, staff recommends the following adjustments to the FY 2023-24 budget highlighted below.
Revenues:
Interest Earnings: In the current fiscal year’s budget, interest earnings were not included in the budget. As of the mid-year adjustment, the Town collected $488,570 of interest earnings. Staff are projecting a total General Fund interest share of $600,000 by the end of FY 2023-24.
County Animal Shelter: The original sheltering contract was at a lower rate and the Town’s animal Services Department renegotiated a higher annual sheltering contract rate with the County after the budget was adopted. The adopted budget was $579,000, while receipts, so far, $864,800.
Expenditures:
The expenditure adjustments are in the Animal Services Department in the amount of $166,700 for various reasons as indicated in Exhibit A, and a transfer-out of $257,500 to the Singh Center Fund to cover its initial operating expenses.
