DC -2.3 DOWNTOWN
PRIVATE SIGNAGE
GUIDELINE
DC -2.3.1 PURPOSE & INTENT
Signs in Downtown Beaumont
should advertise a place of
business or provide directions
and information. An effective sign
and graphics system functions
not as a separate entity but
as an integral part of the built
environment. Design standards
are needed to coordinate well -
designed signs. Carefully planned,
signs communicate essential
information, while also ordering
and enhancing the architectural
character of Downtown Beaumont.
DC -2.3.2 APPLICABILITY
This Downtown Private Signage Guideline applies to
properties fronting both sides of Sixth Street between
Veile Avenue and Palm Avenue, and both sides of
Beaumont Ave from Fifth Street to Seventh Street.
This sign guideline area of applicability includes the
Antique Village District Area special commercial area
and replaces it's criteria with those set forth within this section.
DC -2.3.3 OVERALL OBJECTIVES
A sign's use of color, its size, shape placement, and
selection of lettering can attract or detract from its
effectiveness. An effectively designed sign should:
Be compatible with the surrounding physical and visual
character of the area.
• Promote the "individuality" of establishments.
• Identify the business clearly and attractively.
Enhance the building on which it is located.
Reduce the amount of visual clutter caused by
excessive and poorly placed signage
DC -2.3.4 PREFERRED SIGN TYPES
While many sign types are permitted in Downtown
Beaumont, the following sign types are preferred because they support a pedestrian -oriented environment.
Business wall signs in sign board area at upper portion of first story;
Awning signs;
Under Awning or Under Canopy Signs;
Projecting Signs and Blade Signs;
Murals and supergraphics not advertising a business
(painted on a wall surface);
Permanent painted window signs, first floor permitted
only and limited to 30% of the window area;
• Building signs containing the name of the business at rear entrances used by customers; and,
• Signs made of carved or sandblasted wood.
DC -2.3.5 RELATIONSHIPS
TO OTHER SIGNS
Where there is more than one monument sign located
upon a lot, all such signs shall have designs which are well related to each other by the similar treatment or
incorporated of not less than four of the following six design elements:
• Type of construction materials as used in the
several sign components (such as cabinet, sign
copy, supports);
• Letter style of sign copy;
• Illumination;
• Type or method used for supports, uprights or
structure on which sign is supported;
• Sign cabinet or other configuration of sign area;
• Shape of entire sign and its several components.
DC -2.3.6 GENERAL DESIGN &
PLACEMENT REQUIREMENTS
DC -2.3.6.1 Clear Sign Message: The following
standards address the legibility of downtown signage
and help to ensure the clarity and usefulness of the
information they contain:
• Use a brief message. The fewer the words, the
more effective the sign. A sign with a brief, succinct
message is simpler and faster to read, looks
cleaner and is more attractive.
• Avoid hard -to -read, overly intricate typefaces. These typefaces are difficult to read and reduce the sign's
ability to communicate.
• Lettering should be in proportion to the size of
the sign. As a proportionality rule -of -thumb, the
recommended size of letters is between one -
quarter (1/4) to one-half (2) the height of the sign.
• Sign lettering for wall, projecting, monument,
and blade signs should meet the following
recommendations:
For store fronts 0' - 60' wide, a maximum letter
height of 12" is recommended.
For store fronts 60" wide or greater, a
maximum letter height of 16" is recommended.
123 DOWNTOWN BEAUMONT I REVITALIZATION PLAN
Avoid signs with strange shapes. Signs that are
unnecessarily narrow, oddly shaped, or unrelated to
the products or services being provided on site can
restrict the legibility of the message. If an unusual
shape is not symbolic, it is probably confusing.
Use widely recognized logos rather than print/test
whenever possible.
Make signs smaller if they are oriented to
pedestrians. The pedestrian -oriented sign is usually
read from a distance of fifteen to twenty feet; the
vehicle -oriented sign is viewed from a much greater
distance. The closer a sign's viewing distance, the
smaller that sign need be.
DC -2.3.6.2 Sign Color: Sign colors should be compatible with the building architecture. Within shopping centers, sign color should complement the color scheme for the
center. This provision does not apply to noncommercial
messages displayed on signs.
Colors should be selected to contribute to legibility
and design integrity of signage. Even the most
carefully thought out sign may be unattractive and a
poor communicator because of poor color selection.
A substantial contrast should be provided between
the color and material of the background and the
letters or symbols to make the sign easier to read in
both day and night.
Limit colors to three on a single sign. Color is most
effective when used simply. Too many colors,
particularly accent colors, may distract the reader,
reduce legibility, and make the sign less effective.
Vertical or horizontal wooden signs can be effectively
utilized in a variety of different ways on windows,
building surfaces or as accent bands. A wooden wall
sign can be painted or stained and sealed for a more
natural look, depending upon the appearance of
the surrounding structures. Lettering can consist of
metal or raised wood and when placed within a sign
band, will serve to unify the building facade. Carved
or sandblasted wood signs are also appropriate.
• Metal sign panels can utilize raised lettering on
metal bands. Printing and lettering can also be
applied directly to a flat metal sign band with letters consisting of wood, acrylic or metal.
DC -2.3.6.3 Placement: The following rules ensure the
location of signage is coordinated with it's related project and is appropriately situated in view of the public realm for legibility, accessibility, and urban character:
• Wall signs should be placed such that facade
rhythm, scale, and proportion is established. In many
buildings that have a monolithic or plain facade,
signs can establish or continue appropriate design
rhythm, scale, and proportion.
• Align storefront wall mounted signs and nameplate
signs with other signs on nearby buildings; or if on
the same building, align the bottom edges of the
signs.
• Stand-alone and channel lettering may be allowed if
facing the street front and may be mounted atop an
awning at first level or in the same manner as a wall
sign.
• Projecting, Blade, Awning and Under Awning signs
shall be placed at least 8' above the sidewalk right-
of-way. No projecting sign shall extend above the roof
or parapet line of any building.
• Monument signs should be setback from the public
right-of-way a minimum of five (5) feet.

DC -2.4 REMOVING
NON -CONFORMING
SIGNS INCENTIVE
DC -2.4.1 PURPOSE & INTENT
In order to enhance the image and
develop a unified theme for the
City, it is desirable to encourage
the removal of nonconforming
signs at a rapid pace. Therefore,
in order to encourage the removal
of nonconforming signs, the City
may offer owners of nonconforming
signs the following incentives to
hasten their removal.
DC -2.4.2 NON-CONFORMANCE
INCENTIVE REQUIREMENTS
All nonconforming signs shall be removed within five (5) years of the date of adoption of this ordinance package update . Upon adoption of the ordinance, the City shall advise all property owners with non -conforming signs of the new requirements and the City's incentive program
for removal. At the conclusion of the five-year period, it shall be a violation of the City's ordinance to have any non -conforming signs on the property, and the City will undertake enforcement measures to have the signs
removed. Property owners may apply for an extension
up to six (6) months at the conclusion of the five-year period by submitting documentation of a replacement
sign to be installed within the extension timeframe.
DC -2.4.3 INCENTIVE PROGRAM
Owners of nonconforming signs may at their discretion
choose to participate in the following sign removal
incentive program. The City will select a number of
applicants each year to participate in the program based on the priority list of signs provided above and the
availability of funds.
In order to qualify for the nonconforming sign removal
incentive, a sign proposed to be removed must have
been a legal conforming sign at the time of its original placement. (In other words, the sign cannot be illegal).
The nonconforming sign removal incentive program is a
four (4) year program commencing on the effective date
of this ordinance. The program is designed to encourage the rapid removal of the least desirable types of signs by providing larger incentives in the early years and tapering off to no incentives in the fifth year.
The incentives which may be provided are as follows:
Year One
• Free removal of nonconforming sign.
Payment of an incentive bonus of $1,000 for pole
signs, $500 for all others.
Free design service to provide conforming, attractive
sign sketches.*
Year Two
Free removal of nonconforming sign.
Free design service to provide conforming, attractive
sign sketches*
Years Three and Four
• Free removal of nonconforming sign.
*Those participants availing themselves of the free design service must agree to utilize one of the alternative sketches provided and to erect a new sign within three (3) months of receiving the sketch designs. If said new sign is not erected, the participant will be required to reimburse the City for the cost of the sign design service.

Staff Report
TO: City Council
FROM: Joel Belding, Economic Development Manager
Carole Kendrick, Interim Community Development Director DATE September 17, 2024
SUBJECT: PLAN2023-0998 - Downtown Revitalization Plan
Description Draft Downtown Revitalization Plan for review and adoption.
Background and Analysis:
On November 1, 2022, the City Council awarded a professional services contract to the consulting firm GHD to assist the City in preparing a Downtown Revitalization Plan (the Plan). The Plan was intended to supplement prior City efforts to foster a thriving business and residential core for the City. This work involved extensive economic and site analysis, as well as broad community outreach to understand the unique nature of the community and the downtown business climate. GHD and staff most recently provided an update to the City Council on the status of the plan at its May 21, 2024, meeting. Subsequent to that meeting, the Plan has been finalized and is ready for final consideration by the City Council.
The Plan includes two main avenues for revitalization efforts: development of opportunity sites to introduce new retail, dining and housing opportunities; and changes to City operations and regulatory frameworks.
Redevelopment Efforts
The Plan's redevelopment activities involve working with private landowners to introduce new retail, dining, and housing opportunities and mobility improvements to modify certain streets to enhance pedestrian circulation and slow traffic and facilitate additional public parking. Retail and dining would be a balance of local serving establishments and destination dining to attract customers from across the city and from beyond its borders.
Housing opportunities would reinforce the local population to support the smaller scale existing and planned businesses. Public parking would relieve landowners of the need to provide extensive on -site parking, which can often make new development cost prohibitive and creates gaps in the urban fabric. Nine opportunity sites for new development within the study area are identified in the Plan.
Regulatory Framework and Operational Changes
Zoning Reform — The Plan includes recommended zoning ordinance modifications to update maximum development potential by adjusting allowable Floor Area Ratio (FAR) and densities for commercial, mixed -used, and residential developments. Current zoning standards and development potential may be one critical factor in holding back new development within the Downtown Area.
Establish a Downtown Business Improvement District - The Plan includes a recommendation for the establishment of a Business Improvement District (BID). BIDs can assist member businesses with a wide variety of activities including marketing, beautification improvements, improved public safety, events to bring residents to the BID area, street cleaning and possibly even administration of grants and incentive programs. BIDs do require financial contributions from the member businesses, which may not be feasible at this time, but the Plan recommends evaluating the possibility of a BID formulation in 5-10 years following implementation of other Plan measures.
Downtown Marketing and Events- The Plan recommends the City continue and expand its marketing and public awareness campaigns for existing and future downtown businesses, as well as expanding its public events activities. The intent with staging regular events in the downtown area is to connect residents and visitors with the dining and retail businesses in the area and to promote predictable and consistent visitorship to the area.
Downtown Parking — the Plan includes recommendations on data -driven updates to parking requirements for existing and new businesses in recognition of the substantial amount of on -street parking within the area. The Plan also includes recommendations on where new parking should be added to support continued development.
Business Incentives — The Plan supports the continued use of a variety of business expansion and establishment incentives through grants, tax credits, and other mechanisms. There are also recommendations for city process changes to make it as easy as possible for developers to understand and work through the entitlement and building permit process.
Downtown Architectural Guidelines - The Plan includes design guidelines for new construction or building renovations, with recommended architectural styles representing the diverse mix of existing styles within the downtown area.
Downtown Signage Program - The Plan includes recommendations for private signs, as well as city sponsored wayfinding and placemaking sites to help create unifying character elements for this area.
The Plan contains an estimated timeline for each of its recommendations, with efforts estimated to begin in 2025 and continue through 2045. There are elements of the Plan that can be initiated and completed within the next few years, but overall, the Plan requires approximately twenty years of sustained City and private landowner activities to achieve its goals. Initial efforts will focus on completing projects already planned and in progress, such as the Zoning Ordinance update, Stewart Park renovations, relocation of Police Headquarters, and activation of 500 Grace Avenue and 105 West Sixth Street. Longer term efforts may include additional site acquisitions, connecting vacant landowners with developers to facilitate entirely private redevelopment activities, parking improvements, and street beautification efforts.
Continued growth of the City in general will also assist by adding to the local population, with the City and other community partners, such as the Chamber of Commerce, promoting downtown businesses and activities to existing and new residents to increase visitorship to the downtown.
Should the City Council adopt the Plan, staff will begin prioritizing the recommendations for implementation. Staff will also provide regular reports to the City Council on these efforts.
Consistency with Adopted Goals, Plans and Programs:
The Plan builds upon the 2019 Economic Development Strategic Plan (EDSP) recommendations related to promotion and development of local serving businesses within the downtown area, including marketing and events, redevelopment of key sites for mixed use and housing opportunities, placemaking improvements, which are described in detail in Strategy Group Action Items 2, 7, 12, and 13 of the EDSP.
General Plan Consistency:
The Plan also incorporates the recommendations of more than two dozen goals of the General Plan (e.g. LUCD8, LUCD9, LUCD11, LUCD15, LUCD17, LUCD18, LUCD19, M6, M14, M16, M17, EDF4, EDF5, EDF6, EDF21, EDF22, EDF23, EDF24, EDF34, C27, DAP2, DAP4, DAP5, DAP6, and DAP7) related to updates to the zoning ordinance, physical improvements to the downtown area to improve traffic calming, increase public parking supply, pedestrian circulation, improving existing building conditions through incentive programs, adoption of design standards for new development, expanded housing variety and identification of infill opportunities, branding and marketing for the
downtown area, and development of a wayfinding program. The Plan has been designed to be consistent with the General Plan.
Fiscal Impact:
The cost to prepare this report is estimated at $350.
Recommended Action:
Adopt the Downtown Revitalization Plan as presented.

SUBJECT: Discussion Regarding Wrapping Utility Vaults Along Palm Avenue with Historic Images
Description: A discussion item on the beautification project of wrapping the utility meter vaults along Palm Avenue with historic photos to highlight Beaumont's history and enhance the visual appeal of the area.
Background and Analysis:
City staff are proposing a beautification effort along Palm Avenue through the installation of vinyl wraps featuring historical images of the City of Beaumont on seven utility meter vaults located along the median. This initiative is part of a broader strategy to promote civic pride and make pedestrian corridors more engaging for residents and visitors, while inviting the community to come together, celebrate Beaumont's heritage, and increase awareness of ongoing efforts to revitalize and reinvigorate the downtown area as a vibrant, welcoming destination.
The proposed wrap designs will showcase archival photos representing the City's rich historic legacy. As pedestrians travel along Palm Avenue's sidewalks and medians, they will be able to enjoy these visually compelling depictions of Beaumont's past.
The following images are mock-ups designed by our Communications team, incorporating the rich history of Beaumont, themed together to provide a story to our residents on their walks along Palm Avenue. There are currently five proposed drafts organized by theme.

SUBJECT: 2025 Cherry Festival Recapitulation and Analysis Description: This report provides a summary and visitor analysis of the 2025 Cherry Festival held at Noble Creek Regional Park from May 30, 2025, to June 2, 2025.
Background and Analysis:
History and Attendance
The 2025 Cherry Festival attracted approximately 44,000 visitors over four days. This report is intended to provide historical context and identify several important elements of the event, including public safety measures, traffic and parking operations, and fiscal impacts to support future event planning.
Originally known as the "Cherry Blossom Festival", the Cherry Festival was founded in 1930 by Dr. Guy Bogart, then Mayor of Beaumont, in collaboration with the Beaumont Rotary Club. Inspired by the elegance of Japanese cherry blossom celebrations, the event was initially held at Bogart Park to promote peace, cultural appreciation, and civic pride. It was later moved to Stewart Park, which is located just north of City Hall between Orange and Maple Avenues and south of 11th Street. In 2024, it was moved to the Noble Creek Regional Park.
Following the onset of World War I I , the festival gradually transitioned away from its Japanese cultural identity and became a celebration of the region's cherry harvest. Over the decades, the festival has evolved into a major community tradition organized by the Cherry Festival Association, a non-profit organization, in partnership with the City of Beaumont. In 2024, the Beaumont Cherry Valley Recreation and Park District (Park District) joined the partnership by entering into an agreement with the Cherry Festival Association and renting out Noble Creek Regional Park for the event. In 2025, the festival returned to Noble Creek Regional Park for the second consecutive year to continue accommodating growth, improve logistics, and support ongoing renovations at Stewart Park. To ensure the event's success, all three entities entered into a
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to provide financial, staffing and insurance support.
The festival draws tens of thousands of visitors from across the Pass Area and beyond.
Data from the City's contracted software, Placer.ai (Attachment A), has shown the following approximate attendance since 2019, with the exception of 2020 and 2021 due to the Covid-19 pandemic and absence of the festival during those years:
• 2019: -43,500 visits, average duration 162 minutes
• 2022: -48,000 visits, average duration 150 minutes
• 2023: -54,000 visits, average duration 147 minutes
• 2024: 50,000 visits, average duration 159 minutes
• 2025: 44,000 visits, average duration 159 minutes
These insights serve as a benchmark for evaluating long-term event performance and guiding coordination between the City and partner agencies.
Public Safety
Law Enforcement:
The Beaumont Police Department, supported by Star Pro Security, maintained a consistent on -site presence throughout the four -day festival. They provided proactive patrols, managed crowd control, and responded promptly to incidents. Their efforts ensured attendees could enjoy the event safely. During the festival, there were eight (8) juvenile and one adult -related physical altercations. The parties involved were escorted from the event, and no arrests were made. No other criminal activity was reported.
Fire Prevention:
The Office of the Fire Marshal conducted regular inspections, monitored fire safety measures, and remained on -site throughout the event with two staff present to promptly address any potential hazards.
The event went without incident, but the following public safety recommendations/considerations were identified to improve future events:
• Post festival rules at each entrance and online;
• Implement walk-through metal detectors at event entrances; • Continue public education on the clear bag policy;
• Deploy security officers in parking lots;
• Address life safety items before the event starts;
• Properly ground all generators and lighting setups;
• Improve exit signage and banner placement;
• Maintain clear aisles and avoid zip -tied chairs in entertainment areas; • Keep fire lanes clear and consistently marked; and
• Submit plans well in advance of the event.
Traffic & Parking Management
A traffic consultant hired by the City known as "Statewide Traffic Safety and Signs, DBA AWP Safety", performed traffic and parking control for the event. Public Works and the Police Department developed the traffic control concept, which AWP implemented. The configuration allowed sufficient stacking for on -site event parking and provided a separate entrance for emergency, transit, and VIP vehicles. Additional "No Parking" signs and barricades were placed on adjacent streets to discourage unsafe parking on private property. Although the overall traffic control and parking management was an improvement over the prior year, site constraints affected parking layout, ingress, and egress; and misaligned vehicles, limited lighting, and limited staffing created some inefficiencies. Therefore, the following recommendations/considerations were identified to improve future events:
• Reuse the traffic control configuration from the 2025 event; • Obtain permission from adjacent property owners to block unwanted property access;
• Hire a traffic control contractor earlier to secure multiple competitive quotes; • Set up a cone pattern along Oak Valley Parkway from Beaumont Avenue to Oak View Drive to discourage U-turns;
• Improve parking configuration with chalked lanes;
• Increase lighting in parking areas;
• Provide additional parking management staff for vehicle direction; • Develop a protocol to guide patrons to alternative parking when lots are full. • Enhance communication with signs and messaging for capacity limits; • Create "Parking Lot Full" signs at main entrances; and • Post additional "No Parking" signs near venue entrances and exits.
Transit
City Transit transported 2,683 passengers across three pickup locations: Walmart, Fellowship in the Pass Church, and the Sports Park. The highest demand occurred on Friday, May 30th, with 1,468 passengers, representing more than half of the total ridership. The Sports Park was the most utilized site, recording 1,422 passengers
across all four days. Over the course of the event, transit operations consumed 259 gallons of fuel and provided 131 revenue hours and 141 total service hours, demonstrating strong operational coverage and accessibility for festival attendees.
Event Operational Overview
The event's operations encompassed a range of functions, including admissions, vendor coordination, carnival management, alcohol sales and advertising. Each of these components contributed to the overall delivery of the festival and helped inform data collection for future planning. The financial performance of these areas varied compared to prior years, and the information presented above can assist in evaluating trends, informing future decision -making, and improving operational efficiency.
Gate Sales
In 2025, the festival generated net gate sales totaling $150,646.04, compared to $215,606.49 in 2024.
Carnival Sales
Carnival sales were slightly down compared to 2024. The gross revenue from carnival sales was $206,020 in 2025, with a net profit of $51,905. In comparison, 2024 carnival sales grossed $209,375, with a net profit of $52,743.75.
Beer Garden
Unlike 2024, this year's beer profits were shared between the Parks District and the Cherry Festival Association, resulting in less proceeds to the Association but allowing for two beer gardens with staffing assistance. The beer garden produced total sales of $77,985.69 in 2025 (Attachment B). Total expenses amounted to $35,055.48, resulting in a net profit of $42,930.21. After applying a post -event refund of $10,744.00 from the alcohol vendor, the final net total increased to $53,674.21. The Cherry Festival Association received $12,879.06, with the remaining profits distributed to partner organizations Craft Lounge and the Parks District.
Public Outreach
Marketing for the 2025 Cherry Festival included partnerships with NBC Palm Springs, OnlylnThelE, and the Record Gazette. NBC Palm Springs delivered nearly 280,000 impressions via TikTok and digital audio, with a 98.71 % listen-thru rate. The "Cherry Festival Generic Video" alone earned 175,662 impressions. OnlylnThelE's campaign
reached 140,912 accounts with over 13,000 interactions. Email blasts through the Record Gazette reached 50,000 recipients with 10,500 opens and 1,500 clicks.
Additional outreach included 3,933 accounts reached on social media, 38,072 interactions, and 2,331 new followers. RivCoTV produced four 6-8 minute videos, and an open letter to the community was published in collaboration with the Record Gazette.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
CALIFORNIA SURPLUS LINES NOTICE (D-2)
1. The insurance policy that you have purchased is being issued by an insurer that is not licensed by the State of California. These companies are called "nonadmitted" or "surplus lines" insurers.
2. The insurer is not subject to the financial solvency regulation and enforcement that apply to California licensed insurers.
3. The insurer does not participate in any of the insurance guarantee funds created by California law. Therefore, these funds will not pay your claims or protect your assets if the insurer becomes insolvent and is unable to make payments as promised.
4. The insurer should be licensed either as a foreign insurer in another state in the United States or as a non -United States (alien) insurer. You should ask questions of your insurance agent, broker, or "surplus line" broker or contact the California Department of Insurance at the toll -free number 1-800-927-4357 or internet website
www.insurance.ca.gov . Ask whether or not the insurer is licensed as a foreign or non -United States (alien) insurer and for additional information about the insurer. You may also visit the NAIC's internet website at www.naic.org . The NAIC — the National Association of Insurance Commissioners — is the regulatory support organization created and governed by the chief insurance regulators in the United States.
5. Foreign insurers should be licensed by a state in the United States and you may contact that state's department of insurance to obtain MPIL 1039 -CA 01 20 Page 1 of 2
more information about that insurer. You can find a link to each state from this NAIC internet website: https://naic.org/state_web_map.htm .
6. For non -United States (alien) insurers, the insurer should be licensed by a country outside of the United States and should be on the NAIC's International Insurers Department (IID) listing of approved nonadmitted non -United States insurers. Ask your agent, broker, or "surplus line" broker to obtain more information about that insurer.
7. California maintains a "List of Approved Surplus Line Insurers (LASLI)." Ask your agent or broker if the insurer is on that list, or view that list at the internet website of the California Department of Insurance: www.insurance.ca.gov./01-consumers/120-company/07- lasli/lasli.cfm.
8. If you, as the applicant, required that the insurance policy you have purchased be effective immediately, either because existing coverage was going to lapse within two business days or because you were required to have coverage within two business days, and you did not receive this disclosure form and a request for your signature until after coverage became effective, you have the right to cancel this policy within five days of receiving this disclosure. If you cancel coverage, the premium will be prorated and any broker's fee charged for this insurance will be returned to you.

FROM: Elizabeth Gibbs, City Manager
Darron Usher, Principal Management Analyst
DATE August 19, 2025
SUBJECT: Discussion and Direction Regarding Elected Official Attendance at the 2026 ICSC "Innovating Commerce Serving Communities" Conference Description A discussion item to receive City Council direction on attendance at the Innovating Commerce Serving Communities (ICSC) Conference held annually in May in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Background and Analysis:
Each year, a team of City staff and two assigned City Council members attend the ICSC Conference to network with retailers, developers, and brokers, and promote economic development opportunities within the City. The event has proven valuable for fostering relationships that support commercial growth, retail attraction, and overall economic vitality.
At the June 17, 2025, City Council meeting, staff provided a recap of this year's ICSC conference. During this recap, Councilmember White expressed interest in allowing more than two members of the City Council to attend future ICSC conferences. His suggestion stemmed from the belief that expanding attendance may increase the City's visibility, create more connection opportunities, and further economic development objectives. Concerns about a potential Brown Act violation were raised by the City Attorney. It was determined that an item be brought back before the City Council for further discussion and direction to staff.
Fiscal Impact:
The estimated cost of this staff report is $350.
Expanded participation would result in increased travel, registration, lodging, and per diem costs. Estimated costs for each attendee average between $2,000 - $3,000 depending on location and registration timelines. The current approved budget for ICSC for City Council is $4,178.00.
Recommended Action:
Discuss and provide direction to staff.

TO: Mayors, Council Members, City Clerks, and City Managers RE: DESIGNATION OF VOTING DELEGATES AND ALTERNATES
League of California Cities Annual Conference and Expo, Oct. 8-10, 2025 Long Beach Convention Center
Every year, the League of California Cities convenes a member -driven General Assembly at the Cal Cities Annual Confei,. . The General Assembly is an important opportunity where city officials can directly participate in the development of Cal Cities policy.
Taking place on Oct. 10, the General Assembly is comprised of voting delegates appointed by each member city; every city has one voting delegate. Your appointed voting delegate plays an important role during the General Assembly by representing your city and voting on resolutions.
To cast a vote during the General Assembly, your city must designate a voting delegate and up to two alternate voting delegates, one of whom may vote if the designated voting delegate is unable to serve in that capacity. Voting delegates may either be an elected or appointed official.
Action by Council Required. Consistent with Cal Cities bylaws, a city's voting delegate and up to two alternates must be designated by the city council. Please note that designating the voting delegate and alternates must be done by city council action and cannot be accomplished by individual action of the mayor or city manager alone.
Following council action, please submit your city's delegates through the online portal by Wed., Sept. 24. When completing the Voting Delegate submission form, you will be asked to attest that council action was taken. You will need to be signed in to your My Cal Cities account when submitting the form.
Submitting your voting delegate form by the deadline will allow us time to establish voting delegate/alternate records prior to the conference and provide pre -conference communications with voting delegates.
Conference Registration Required. The voting delegate and alternates must be registered to attend the conference. They need not register for the entire conference; they may register for Friday only. Conference registration is open on the Cal Cities website.

CITIES
For a city to cast a vote, one voter must be present at the General Assembly and in possession of the voting delegate card and voting tool. Voting delegates and alternates need to pick up their conference badges before signing in and picking up the voting delegate card at the voting delegate desk. This will enable them to receive the special sticker on their name badges that will admit the voting delegate into the voting area during the General Assembly.
Please view Cal Cities' event and meetincpoi.. in advance of the conference.
Transferring Voting Card to Non -Designated Individuals Not Allowed. The voting delegate card may be transferred freely between the voting delegate and alternates, but only between the voting delegate and alternates. If the voting delegate and alternates find themselves unable to attend the General Assembly, they may not transfer the voting card to another city official.
Seating Protocol during General Assembly. At the General Assembly, individuals with a voting card will sit in a designated area. Admission to the voting area will be limited to the individual in possession of the voting card and with a special sticker on their name badge identifying them as a voting delegate.
The voting delegate desk, located in the conference registration area of the Long Beach Convention Center in Long Beach, will be open at the following times: Wednesday, Oct. 16, 8:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m. and Thursday, Oct. 17, 7:30 a.m.-4:00 p.m. On Friday, Oct. 18, the voting delegate desk will be open at the General Assembly, starting at 7:30 a.m., but will be closed during roll calls and voting.
The voting procedures that will be used at the conference are attached to this memo.
Please share these procedures and this memo with your council and especially with the individuals that your council designates as your city's voting delegate and alternates.
Once again, thank you for submitting your voting delegate and alternates by Wednesday, Sept. 24. If you have questions, please contact Zach Seals at zseals@calcitie

General Assembly Voting Guidelines
1. One City One Vote. Each member city has a right to cast one vote on matters pertaining to Cal Cities policy.
2. Designating a City Voting Representative. Prior to the Cal Cities Annual Conference and Expo, each city council may designate a voting delegate and up to two alternates; these individuals are identified on the voting delegate form provided to the Cal Cities Credentials Committee.
3. Registering with the Credentials Committee. The voting delegate, or alternates, may pick up the city's voting card at the voting delegate desk in the conference registration area. Voting delegates and alternates must sign in at the voting delegate desk. Here they will receive a special sticker on their name badge and thus be admitted to the voting area at the General Assembly.
4. Signing Initiated Resolution Petitions. Only those individuals who are voting delegates (or alternates), and who have picked up their city's voting card by providing a signature to the credentials committee at the voting delegate desk, may sign petitions to initiate a resolution.
5. Voting. To cast the city's vote, a city official must have in their possession the city's voting card and voting tool; and be registered with the credentials committee. The voting card may be transferred freely between the voting delegate and alternates but may not be transferred to another city official who is neither a voting delegate nor alternate.
6. Voting Area at General Assembly. At the General Assembly, individuals with a voting card will sit in a designated area. Admission to the voting area will be limited to the individual in possession of the voting card and with a special sticker on their name badge identifying them as a voting delegate.
7. Resolving Disputes. In case of dispute, the credentials committee will determine the validity of signatures on petitioned resolutions and the right of a city official to vote at the General Assembly.

How it works: Cal Cities
Resolutions and the General Assembly
Developing League of Califomia Cities policy is a dynamic process that engages a wide range of members to ensure Cal Cities represents cities with one voice. These policies directly guide Cal Cities' advocacy to promote local decision -making, and lobby against statewide policies that erode local control.
The resolutions process and General Assembly is one way that city officials can directly participate in the development of Cal Cities policy. If a resolution is approved at the General Assembly, it becomes official Cal Cities policy. Here's how resolutions and the General Assembly work.
Prior to the Annual Conference and Expo
General Resolutions
Sixty days before the
Annual Conference
and Expo, Cal Cities
members may submit
policy proposals on
issues of importance
to cities. The resolution must
have the concurrence of at least
five additional member cities or
individual members.
Policy Committees
The Cal Cities
President assigns
general resolutions
to policy committees
where members
review, debate, and recommend
positions for each policy proposal.
Recommendations are forwarded
to the Resolutions Committee.
During the Annual Conference and Expo
Petitioned Resolutions
The petitioned
resolution is an
alternate method
to introduce policy
proposals during
the annual conference. The
petition must be signed by
voting delegates from 10% of
member cities, and submitted to
the Cal Cities President at least
24 hours before the beginning
of the General Assembly.
General Assembly
#*i•i • � During the General Assembly, voting delegates 'r• • t debate and consider general and petitioned
• resolutions forwarded by the Resolutions
Committee. Potential Cal Cities bylaws
amendments are also considered at this meeting.
l
Resolutions Committee
• • • The Resolutions
Committee considers
all resolutions. General
Resolutions approved' by
either a policy committee
or the Resolutions Committee are next
considered by the General Assembly.
General resolutions not approved, or
referred for further study by both a
policy committee and the Resolutions
Committee do not go to the General
Assembly. All Petitioned Resolutions
are considered by the General
Assembly, unless disqualified.2
1 Who's who
Cal Cities policy
development is a member -
informed process,
grounded in the voices and
experiences of city officials
throughout the state.
The Resolutions Committee
includes representatives
from each Cal Cities
diversity caucus, regional
division, municipal
department, and policy
committee, as well as
individuals appointed by
the Cal Cities president.
Voting delegates
are appointed by each
member city; every city
has one voting delegate.
The General Assembly is a
meeting of the collective
body of all voting
delegates —one from
every member city.
Seven policy committees
meet throughout the year
to review and recommend
positions to take on bills
and regulatory proposals.
Policy committees include
members from each Cal
Cities diversity caucus,
regional division, and
municipal department,
as well as individuals
appointed by the Cal
Cities president.
' The Resolution Committee can amend a general resolution prior to sending it to the General Assembly.
Petitioned Resolutions may be disqualified by the Resolutions Committee according to Cal Cities Bylaws Article VI. Sec. 5(f).

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
BUILDING & SAFETY
Staff consulted with the Finance Department to evaluate existing policies supporting full staff cost recovery in response to rising project -related expenses. The most recently adopted fee study incorporates Consumer Price Index (CPI) adjustments to ensure that fee revenues retain their value over time and that project applicants contribute their fair share toward service costs. Implementing fee increases in a transparent and consistent manner enables the City to keep revenues aligned with inflation, safeguard long-term financial stability, and avoid the need for significant or irregular budget adjustments.
INSPECTIONS AND PERMITS
Need assistance in scheduling an inspection or applying for a permit? Watch our quick guides to learn how to start today!
CODE ENFORCEMENT
Weed abatement activities began in earnest during the late spring season with property inspections, noticing, and subscription service options to reduce fire hazards and protect public health. Requests for proposals (RFPs) were released and agreements were arranged to do work as -needed to protect lives and property by maintaining land and preventing vegetation from becoming a hazard.
PAGE 9 I JULY 2025 - MONTHLY CM REPORT
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
FIRE SERVICES
Required annual business inspections conducted
by the Office of the Fire Marshal — essential for
public safety, legal compliance, and operational
readiness — can now be scheduled and tracked
online through the City's permit tracking system.
These inspections play a critical role in preventing fires, protecting lives and property, and enhancing overall community safety. By making the inspection process more transparent and accessible, the City supports greater community resilience and helps minimize disruptions to local commerce and daily activities caused by preventable fire and safety incidents.
PLANNING

recommended adoption of an ordinance that
authorizes the City to enter into an
