WHEREAS, the City conditionally permits the construction and operation of wireless communication facilities subject to certain standards and regulations enumerated in Title 18 (Zoning, Land Use and Development Regulations) (“Zoning Code”) of the Calimesa Municipal Code; and
WHEREAS, on September 27, 2018, the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) commenced issuance of a series of new rulemaking decisions/regulations that significantly limit state and local management of wireless telecommunications installations. The Telecommunications Act, 47 U.S.C. § 332(c)(7)(B), preserves local government zoning authority as it relates to location, siting and aesthetics, but limits local regulations in three key ways: (1) a local ordinance may not unreasonably discriminate among providers of functionally equivalent services; (2) a local ordinance may not prohibit or effectively prohibit service; and (3) a local ordinance may not regulate based on environmental impacts from radio frequency emissions to the extent that such facilities comply with the Commission’s regulations concerning such emissions; and
WHEREAS, Calimesa Municipal Code Table 18.25.030 – Uses Permitted Within Commercial Districts designates “Wireless Communication Facilities as “X – Prohibited” in the Neighborhood Commercial (CN) zoning district; and,
WHEREAS, Calimesa Municipal Code Table 18.30.030 – Uses Permitted Within Industrial Districts designates “Wireless Communication Facilities as “X – Prohibited” in the Light Industrial (LI) and Business Park (BP) zoning district; and, WHEREAS, the City’s ongoing commercial and residential development projects are inducing population growth and increasing local demand for telecommunications facilities Citywide, including in the Neighborhood Commercial (CN), the Light Industrial (LI) and Business Park (BP) zoning districts; and,
WHEREAS, adoption of this Ordinance will further align the City’s Zoning Code with goals and policies of the City’s General Plan by reducing land use restrictions on infrastructure siting for wireless communication facilities in non-residential areas to better serve new and existing residential, commercial and industrial development while balancing the benefits of advanced wireless service with the City’s local values; and
Attachment 6A

WHEREAS, on August 11, 2022, during a duly noticed public hearing, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution 2022-08 recommending to the City Council the adoption of Ordinance 384 approving a CEQA Exemption and Zoning Text Amendment 22-03; and, WHEREAS, on August 26, 2022, the City gave public notice as required under Chapter

18.15.080 (Hearings and Appeals) of the Zoning Code, of the Calimesa Municipal Code by advertising in the News Mirror newspaper of the holding of a public hearing at which the CEQA Exemption and Zoning Text Amendment would be considered; and, WHEREAS, on the 19th day of September, 2022, the City Council held a duly noticed public hearing at which time interested persons had an opportunity to testify in support of, or opposition to, the proposed amendments, and at which time the City Council considered the CEQA Exemption and Zoning Text Amendment 2022-03.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CALIMESA DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

Section 1. The above recitals are all true and correct.

Section 2. The City Council has reviewed and considered the information included in the General Plan, Zoning Code and Staff Report for the Public Hearing and public testimony prior to taking action on the proposed Ordinance. This information is on file and available at the Community Development Department at Calimesa City Hall.

Section 3. The City Council finds that the proposed Ordinance is consistent with the goals and policies of the General Plan and would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the City. Applicable General Plan goals are identified below with a description of how the amendments to the Zoning Code relating to wireless communication facilities further the goals of the General Plan:

1. GOAL IPS-5: Plan and provide adequate infrastructure for all new development, including but not limited to, integrated infrastructure planning, financing, and implementation. The proposed Ordinance plans and provides adequate infrastructure for all new development, by reducing land use restrictions on infrastructure siting for wireless communication facilities in non-residential areas to better serve new and existing residential, commercial and industrial development.

2. GOAL LU-4: Commercial and industrial development that serves the needs of Calimesa and the surrounding area, provides local job opportunities, and creates a greater job/housing balance. The proposed Ordinance provides for the needs of Calimesa and the surrounding area, as reliable internet services are becoming increasingly important for residents, first responders and business as technology improves and data-intensive applications become more commonplace.

3. GOAL SUS-8: Support commercial development that serves local and regional needs.

The proposed Ordinance supports commercial development that serves local and regional needs, as it enhances the ability for wireless providers to propose new facilities that service the needs of the community, and the region, as Calimesa is located along Interstate 10, which is a critical freight and transportation route for the United States.

Page 34 of 109 ends

4. POLICY LU-30: Existing businesses shall be supported by providing investment in public infrastructure and attracting additional business and businesses and people to the corridor. The proposed Ordinance provides investment in public infrastructure by expanding areas in which wireless providers, which the Federal Communications Commission has identified as public utilities under Public Utilities Code Sections 216, 233 and 234, can propose to establish wireless communication facilities and provide fast reliable wireless communication service to the Downtown Business Corridor.

Section 4. The City Council has independently reviewed and considered the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) and finds and determines that the adoption of Ordinance 384 and Zoning Text Amendment 22-03 is exempt pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The project is exempt from CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) because the project is covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects, which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. The project only amends certain language within the Calimesa Municipal Code and modifies various allowable uses to harmonize the Calimesa Municipal Code with recently adopted regulations by the Federal Communications Commission. Any future project will be required to undergo an environmental assessment to identify and mitigate any potential impacts. Therefore, the project of and by itself does not result in any physical changes in the environment.

Section 5. Table 18.25.030 (Uses Permitted Within Commercial Districts) set forth in Section 18.25.030 (Use regulations for commercial districts) of Chapter 18.25 (Commercial Zone Districts) of Title 18 (Zoning, Land Use and Development Regulations) of the Calimesa Municipal Code, is hereby amended as follows, with all other uses and activities listed in Table

“10.16.010 Use of streets for storage of vehicles.

A. No person who owns or has possession, custody or control of any vehicle shall park such vehicle upon any street or alley for more than a consecutive period of seventy-two (72) hours.

B. In the event a vehicle is parked or left standing upon a street in excess of a consecutive period of seventy-two (72) hours, any authorized member of the police department may remove such vehicle from the street in the manner and subject to the requirements of the Vehicle Code of the state.

C. Whenever a peace officer or designated employee of the city suspects that a vehicle is in violation of this section, the peace officer or designated employee shall post a notice on the vehicle stating that the vehicle must be removed within seventy-two (72) hours of said notice, and if not removed by the date and time indicated on the notice, it will be removed at the owner's expense. The costs of such impoundment, towing and storage shall be charged to the owner of the vehicle and to the operator who committed the violation, if different from the owner of the vehicle.

D. For the purposes of this section, a parked or standing vehicle violates this section when the vehicle remains more than seventy-two (72) consecutive hours within two hundred (200) feet of any location where the peace officer or designated employee first posted or cited the Attachment 7A

Page 38 of 109 ends

vehicle. In investigating whether a vehicle is in violation of this section, the peace officer or designated employee shall consider the totality of the circumstances, including, but not limited to, tire markings, eyewitness account, dirt and debris, vegetation, vehicle condition, photographic evidence and odometer recordings.”
Section 3. Conflicting Code Provisions Superseded. The provisions of this Ordinance shall govern and supersede any conflicting provisions of the City of Calimesa Municipal Code with respect to the use of streets for storage of vehicles in public rights-of-way within the jurisdiction of the City of Calimesa.

Section 4. Environmental Determination. The City of Calimesa has determined that adoption of this Ordinance does not constitute a “project” within the meaning of CEQA Guidelines Section 15060(c)(2) because there is no potential that the regulations of vehicle parking imposed under this Ordinance will result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, and CEQA Guidelines Section 15378 because it has no potential for either a direct physical change to the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. The City of Calimesa has also determined that even if the Ordinance comprises a project for CEQA analysis, it falls within the “common sense” CEQA exemption set forth in CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), excluding projects where “it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment.”
Section 5. Severability. If any sections, subsections, sentence, clause, or phrase of this Ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional by the decision or legislation of any court of competent jurisdiction, or by reason of preemptive legislation, such decision or legislation shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of the Chapter. The City Council declares that it would have passed this Ordinance, and each section, subsection, sentence, clause and phrase thereof, irrespective of the fact that one or more of the sections, subsections, sentences, clauses, or phrases thereof is declared invalid or unconstitutional.

Section 6. Signature, Publication and Certification. The Mayor shall sign, and the City Clerk shall attest to the adoption of this Ordinance and shall cause the same to be posted and published in the manner required by law.

The law becomes effective on February 19, 2022 and entitles qualified employees to SPSL retroactive to January 1, 2022 and through September 30, 2022.

On September 29, 2022 the Governor extended the policy and its provisions from September 30, 2022 to December 31, 2022.

This policy was provided to all CIRA(formerly PARSAC) members for adoption and created by Liebert, Cassidy and Whitmore, Personnel Attorney’s for CIRA and the City of Calimesa.

FISCAL IMPACT: It is unclear what the fiscal impact will be and it is unlikely that the City will receive any funding to offset any costs that occur as a result of this policy.

POLICY
SCOPE OF COVERAGE:

This policy will apply to all Covered Employees employed by the City of Calimesa.

EFFECTIVE DATES:

The policy is effective immediately upon adoption, and the paid leave benefits provided herein shall be retroactive to January 1, 2022.

SPSL benefits expire after December 31, 2022, except that the City of Calimesa will provide a Covered Employee who is on SPSL at the time of the expiration of such benefits the full amount of SPSL to which the Covered Employee would otherwise be entitled.

Unless the underlying law is extended, this policy will expire by operation of the law after December 31, 2022, except that certain Covered Employees may continue to use SPSL after that date as described above.

EMPLOYEES ELIGIBLE FOR SPSL:

All City of Calimesa Covered Employees are eligible for SPSL if they are unable to work or telework for one or more of the enumerated reasons related to COVID-19 as provided below.

QUALIFYING REASONS FOR SPSL:

A Covered Employee qualifies for SPSL if they are unable to work or telework for one or more of the following reasons:
1) The employee is subject to a quarantine or isolation period related to COVID-19 as defined by an order or guidelines of the California Department of Public Health (“CDPH”), the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (“CDC”), or a local health officer who has jurisdiction over the workplace; 2) The employee has been advised by a health care provider to self-quarantine due to COVID-19;
3) The covered employee is attending an appointment for themselves or a family member to receive a vaccine or a vaccine booster for protection against COVID-19; 4) The covered employee is experiencing symptoms, or caring for a family member experiencing symptoms, related to a COVID-19 vaccine or vaccine booster that prevent the employee from being able to work or telework; 5) The covered employee is experiencing symptoms of COVID-19 and seeking a medical diagnosis;
6) The covered employee is caring for a family member who:
a) Is subject to a CDPH, CDC, or local health officer order or guidance to isolate or quarantine, or
b) Has been advised by a health care provider to isolate or quarantine;

Page 44 of 109 ends

7) The covered employee is caring for a child whose school or place of care is closed or otherwise unavailable for reasons related to COVID-19 on the premises; or 8) The covered employee, or a family member for whom the covered employee is providing care, tests positive for COVID-19.

If an employee requests SPSL for reason 8, the City of Calimesa may require that the employee provide the positive test result to confirm that the employee qualifies for such leave. The City of Calimesa may also require that the employee provide the family member’s positive test result if the employee is requesting leave in order to provide care to a covered family member.

The City of Calimesa may also require an employee who has taken SPSL for qualifying reason 8 to test for COVID-19 on or after day five, following the initial positive test. If the City of Calimesa requires such a test, the City of Calimesa will provide the test at no cost to the employee.

AMOUNT OF SPSL FOR QUALIFYING REASONS 1 - 7:
1) Leave taken as SPSL is in addition to any other statutory and/or contractual leave to which the employee is otherwise entitled, and which is not specific to COVID-19. 2) Employees who worked at least 40 hours per week in the two weeks before they take SPSL, or who the employer considers to be full-time employees, are entitled to 40 hours of SPSL for qualifying reasons 1 through 7, above.
3) Firefighters who were scheduled to work more than 40 hours in the workweek before they take SPSL are entitled to the amount of SPSL equal to the “total number of hours that the covered employee was scheduled to work for the employer in that workweek,” which may exceed 40 hours, for qualifying reasons 1 through 7. 4) Part-time Covered Employees are entitled to SPSL in the following amounts:
a) If the part-time Covered Employee has a normal weekly schedule, the total number of hours the Covered Employee is normally scheduled to work for the City of Calimesa over one week for qualifying reasons 1 through 7; or b) If the part-time Covered Employee works a variable number of hours, the Covered Employee is entitled to 7 times the average number of hours the Covered Employee worked each day for the City of Calimesa in the six (6) months preceding the date the Covered Employee took SPSL. If the employee has worked for the City of Calimesa fewer than six months, then the employer calculates the average hours worked for the entire employment period and multiplies the daily average by seven. If an employee works variable hours and has only worked for the City of Calimesa seven days or fewer, then the employee receives an amount of SPSL equivalent to the total number of hours worked for the employer.

AMOUNT OF SPSL FOR QUALIFYING REASON 8:

Employees taking additional COVID-19 supplemental paid sick leave under qualifying reason 8 are entitled to an amount not to exceed that which the employee received under qualifying reasons 1-7.

Covered Employees may determine how many hours of SPSL to use based upon a qualifying reason, up to the total number of hours to which the Covered Employee is entitled.

Page 45 of 109 ends

If a Covered Employee is provided SPSL retroactively for qualifying leave before adoption of this policy, the City of Calimesa will count the retroactive SPSL provided against the SPSL to which the Covered Employee is entitled.

For Covered Employees that request retroactive SPSL, the City of Calimesa will request that the employee sign a “COVID-19 Supplemental Paid Sick Leave Acknowledgment,” acknowledging the accuracy of the amount of leave designated retroactively.

COMPENSATION WHILE ON SPSL:

Covered Employees are entitled to compensation for SPSL at their regular rate of pay or the employee’s total wages less any overtime premium pay, including pursuant to any applicable collective bargaining agreement, subject to a cap of $511 per day and $5,110 in the aggregate.

EMPLOYEE NOTICE OF SUPPLEMENTAL PAID SICK LEAVE:

Covered Employees must notify the City of Calimesa that they intend to take SPSL. The Covered Employee may provide such notice either orally or in writing to their immediate supervisor.

EMPLOYEE STATUS WHILE ON LEAVE:

The City of Calimesa will compensate Covered Employees who use SPSL according to the manner described in this policy and will otherwise treat Covered Employees who use COVID-19 Supplemental Paid Sick as if they are using paid sick leave according to the City of Calimesa’s Personnel Rules and Regulations.

EMPLOYEE OBLIGATIONS FOR REQUESTING RETROACTIVE PAYMENTS FOR PRIOR LEAVE THAT QUALIFIED AS SPSL:

Employees are entitled to SPSL retroactive to January 1, 2022.

If the City of Calimesa did not compensate the employee for leave that would otherwise have qualified as SPSL between January 1, 2022 and the effective date of this policy, in an amount equal to or greater to what the employee would have been entitled to under this policy, the employee is eligible for a retroactive payment from the City of Calimesa for such leave.

In order to receive payment for such leave, employees must make an oral or written request to be paid for such leave to the City of Calimesa’s Human Resources Department.

For any such retroactive payment, the number of hours of leave corresponding to the amount of the retroactive payment shall count towards the total number of hours of SPSL that the employer is required to provide to the Covered Employee.

City Council Meeting
Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 10
SUBJECT: APPROVE THE TRANSFER OF CDBG HOME REHABILITATION

PROGRAM MANAGEMENT FROM THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA

TO THE COUNTY OF RIVERSIDE
MEETING DATE: October 17, 2022
PREPARED BY: Bonnie Johnson, City Manager
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council approve the transfer of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Home Rehabilitation Program management from the State of California to the County of Riverside and approve the reuse of CDBG Home Rehabilitation Grant program income to any CDBG eligible purpose.

BACKGROUND: The City Council approved entering into a grant agreement with Resolution 2015- 08 for a CDBG Housing Rehabilitation program for Calimesa residents. The CDGB grant funds provided loans to Calimesa residents with income-eligible households for home rehabilitation. The loan proceeds were used for home rehabilitations that included upgrades for roofs, electrical and plumbing systems, carbon monoxide detectors, ADA improvements, and energy efficient measures.

The outstanding loans due to be repaid to the City as of September 30, 2022, totals $374,290.

Program income is recognized through the loan repayments and may be loaned to other Calimesa residents with income eligible households.

The City of Calimesa for several years has contracted with a consultant, Michael Baker International, to manage the loan program with respect to income eligibility verification, the management and documentation of construction contracts and rehabilitations. The consultant has recently contacted the City and informed the City Manager, Micheal Baker International will no longer provide services in this capacity for the management of the loan rehabilitation programs for the City of Calimesa.

The City entered into a cooperation agreement with Riverside County Urban County’s program in November 2020 and as such, transitioned from a Non-Entitlement User (NEU) program to a CDBG Entitlement program. Due to this transition to from an NEU to an Entitlement City, the City of Calimesa may no longer directly contract with the State of California for the CDBG home rehabilitation grant as detailed above as the City is now an Entitlement City. As an Entitlement City, the City will receive an annual CDBG allocation from the County as opposed to be eligible to compete for stand-alone grants.

DISCUSSION: The State of California’s Housing & Community Development contacted the City of Calimesa and provided three options with respect to the CDBG funding and how the repayment of loans, considered program income may be used. The options are as follows:

Page 96 of 109 ends

1) Return the loan repayments program income to the State of California for state officials to redirect the funding. The funds will be given to the State for repurpose and will not directly benefit the City of Calimesa.
2) The City Council may repurpose the grant and forgive the outstanding loan balance to the respective residents with outstanding loans and convert the loans to grants. 3) Transfer loan repayment program income directly to County of Riverside. With this action, the funds will directly benefit the City of Calimesa and residents. The funds may continue to be used for housing rehabilitation loan programs or transitioned for other CDBG eligible purposes including, perhaps, ADA Improvements throughout the City of Calimesa.

Staff respectfully recommends the City Council select the transfer of loan repayment program income to the County of Riverside and transition the use of the funds from home loan rehabilitation to the use for an eligible CDBG purpose. Staff recommends this option as this provides direct funding back to the City of Calimesa and will be of direct befit to our community.

FISCAL IMPACT: The City of Calimesa will have additional CDBG funding available of $374,290 in the future for use for eligible CDBG projects such as continuing ADA improvements.

SUBJECT: COUNCIL CONSIDERATION OF SUPPORT LETTERS FOR

COACHELLA VALLEY RAIL PROJECT GRANT OPPORTUNITIES
MEETING DATE: October 17, 2022
PREPARED BY: Bonnie Johnson, City Manager
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council consider the letters of support at the request of the Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC) regarding the Coachella Valley Rail Project and provide the City Manager direction.

BACKGROUND: Council Member Molina, as the City’s representative to RCTC, made a request that these draft letters be placed on the agenda for Council consideration. RCTC staff supplied draft letters of support regarding the Coachella Valley Rail Project. The letters would be used in conjunction with State and Federal grant opportunities.

The draft letters of support from RCTC and a project factsheet are attached for Council review.

Also Please note that in July 2021, the City commented on the Project EIR. Those comments were generally favorable and supportive. The comment letter is attached for your reference and to provide more project background.

RE: Comments on the Coachella Valley - San Gorgonio Pass Rail Corridor Service Tier 1/Program Environmental Impact Statement/Environmental Impact Report Dear Mr. Peterson:

Thank you for providing the City of Calimesa the opportunity to review and comment on the Tier 1/Program Environmental Impact Statement/Environmental Impact Report (EIS/EIR) for the Coachella Valley – San Gorgonio Pass Rail Corridor Project (Project). The City strongly supports the Project and concurs with the analysis, conclusions, and mitigation measures contained in the Draft Program EIS/EIR.

The Project would extend approximately 144 miles between downtown Los Angeles and the Coachella Valley. The Project would utilize existing railroad tracks that primarily parallel Interstate 5, State Route 91, and Interstate 10. The Project would enhance access to four existing stations along the corridor and proposes development of five new rail stations over time. In addition, new tracks are proposed in strategic locations to improve travel speeds, minimize delays, and maintain safety.

The City believes the Project would result in numerous benefits, including but not limited, to the following:
• Reduced traffic volumes on corridor freeways: Figure 1-5 of the EIS/EIR identifies various segments of I-10, SR-60 and SR-91 that currently experience regular weekday congestion. The annual population is anticipated to continue to grow in Riverside County and San Bernardino County at a rate of 1.0 percent and 1.1 percent, respectively, through 2050 (EIS/EIR, page 1-27). As population in these counties increases, freeway congestion is anticipated to increase as well, as residents commute to employment centers. The EIS/EIR concludes that, upon implementation of the Project, auto trips would shift to intercity trips, thereby reducing vehicle trips and vehicle miles traveled on regional highways. The anticipated reduction in vehicle trips and VMT would result in a reduction in air quality/greenhouse gas emissions associated with fuel combustion and improve safety on regional highways. In addition to a reduction in environmental effects, Attachment 11B

July 1, 2021
908 Park Avenue ⬧ Calimesa, California 92320 ⬧ (909) 795-9801 drivers on regional freeways would benefit from reduced travel times due to decreased roadway congestion.
• Increased access to employment Opportunities: Improving connectivity to our passenger rail network is a major goal for our region, not only between existing and future rail services but also with local transit serving rail stations (SCAG 2021). The Project would provide a reliable mode of transportation for residents in more rural and suburban communities to access urban areas with more employment opportunities. Los Angeles is projected to remain the major employment center of the region (i.e., Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino Counties) over the next 30 years, accounting for 60 percent of total employment opportunities. Extension of the passenger rail would provide access for residents, which may not have a reliable mode of transportation, to employment opportunities outside their existing communities, strengthening the overall regional work force and economy. • Access to tourist destinations and recreation opportunities along the corridor:

Visitors traveling to the Corridor’s many destinations including, but not limited to downtown areas; recreational facilities; art, history, and natural history museums; shopping destinations such as those in Cabazon; casinos and related entertainment venues; and special event generators, such as the annual Palm Springs Film Festival and the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival held in Indio. The frequently severe congestion of the nearby serving the Project corridor would make intercity passenger rail an attractive alternative to automobile travel, particularly for visitors. In addition, passenger rail service would provide affordable transportation service to popular tourist destinations and recreational facilities for residents that do not own a private vehicle.

The City of Calimesa believes its residents could benefit greatly from implementation of the Project, but the City’s main concern is access to the rail stations. The closest potential new station proposed to the City of Calimesa would be sited in “The Pass Area,” between Beaumont and Cabazon. The City would prefer the station be located in Beaumont to provide opportunities for the City to coordinate feasible public transit options between the City and the future rail station. If “The Pass Area” station is sited further east near Cabazon, convenient public transit access to the station would not be feasible from the City of Calimesa.

Thank you in advance for your consideration of our comments. The City acknowledges that the Tier 1/Program EIS/EIR is a procedural planning document that evaluates the effects of implementing the passenger rail service from a regional context and broad areas of potential environmental effect associated with construction and operation of the Project. Once Tier 2 is initiated, the City looks forward to the opportunity to review the future project-level impact analysis for specific infrastructure improvements. When future environmental documentation associated with the Coachella Valley – San Gorgonio Pass Rail Corridor Project, please send notice to Kelly Lucia, Planning Manager at 908 Park Avenue, Calimesa, CA 92320.

Subject: Support for the Coachella Valley Rail Project Application for Consolidated Rail Infrastructure and Safety Improvements (CRISI) Grant Funding Dear Administrator Bose:

On behalf of the City of Calimesa, the City Council is pleased to support the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) Division of Rail and Mass Transit’s $20 million grant application for the Consolidated Rail Infrastructure and Safety Improvements (CRISI) program for the Coachella Valley Rail (CV Rail) Tier II Project Approval and Environmental Documentation Project (Project).

The proposed CV Rail service extends approximately 144 miles between Los Angeles and the Coachella Valley with stops within Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino, and Riverside counties.

This project is a once-in-a-generation project for inland southern California because it is:
✓ Transformational – Transforms the way Southern Californians will travel and interact ✓ Interconnected – Links Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino, Riverside counties ✓ Equitable – Expands access to jobs and education for residents in disadvantaged communities ✓ Economically Driven – Connects and promotes regional and national commerce ✓ Sustainable – Combats climate change by reducing single-occupancy vehicle use The Service Development Plan (SDP) and National Environmental Policy Act/California Environmental Quality Act (NEPA/CEQA) Tier I environmental clearance for the corridor was completed and unanimously approved in July 2022 by the Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC). The NEPA/CEQA Tier II environmental study estimated at $60,000,000 is the next step toward fulfilling the transformational vision.

As a joint project between Caltrans, Federal Rail Administration, and RCTC—the local implementing agency—the grant award will fund:
• Preliminary engineering along the 76-mile eastern section of track to the 30% level; and Attachment 11C

Page 103 of 109 ends

• Project-level environmental clearance for up to six stations, a new third main track, and associated grade crossing and signal improvements on the eastern section of the corridor.

The State of California and RCTC have a vested interest in fostering equitable investments in transportation infrastructure and transit mobility, as well as in sustainable freight and goods movement. For this reason, both agencies are committed to providing matching funds for this game-changing project that benefits our economy, environment, and promotes equity in disadvantaged communities across the region.

We are proud to support this application and urge its award. CV Rail aligns with the goals of the CRISI program and will provide vital connections for a growing region. For questions regarding this letter of support, please contact Council Member Linda Molina at (909) 795-9801.

Sincerely,
William Davis, Mayor

Re: Support for the Riverside County Transportation Commission Solutions for Congested Corridors and Local Partnership Grant Applications
Dear Chair Eager:

On behalf of the City of Calimesa, the City Council writes in strong support of Riverside County Transportation Commission’s (RCTC) Solutions for Congested Corridor Program (SCCP) and Local Partnership Program (LPP) grant applications to fund the Mid County Parkway Construction Contract 3 and Perris Valley Line Second Main Track Projects. The projects are vital components of RCTC’s vision to implement safe multimodal solutions in the rapidly growing communities of southwestern Riverside County and the San Jacinto Valley. Riverside County is the fastest growing county in California and the fifth fastest growing in the country, and these communities are ground zero for that growth.

The Mid County Parkway Construction Contract 3 and Perris Valley Second Main Track Projects will allow greater access to multimodal transportation options, provide safety improvements, and help improve air quality in our region. Project improvements include:
• Increased Commuter Rail Service – enabling increased Metrolink service frequency by double tracking stretches of the 91/Perris Valley Line along the Interstate (I)-215 corridor. • Improved Safety – reducing the high rate of collisions along dangerous stretches of Ramona Expressway by implementing safety improvements.
• Bolstered Access to Transit Service – strengthening arterial connections so San Jacinto Valley residents may better access the Metrolink 91/Perris Valley Line and other transit services.

Decades of underinvestment in transportation systems in these communities show in the congestion that residents must weather every day on the I-215 corridor and unsafe surface streets such as Ramona Expressway to access employment and education opportunities. The same residents must also compete in traffic with the nation’s agricultural and freight carriers, 40 Attachment 11D

percent of which travels through the Inland Empire region. Projects like these that provide safe, accessible, multimodal facilities are critical for these communities and businesses to thrive.

The Mid County Parkway Construction Contract 3 project aligns with long term planning goals of improving mobility options between the San Jacinto Valley and Perris Valley and improving access to employment centers, governmental services, and medical facilities in downtown Riverside and beyond. The project also leverages and supports the Metrolink Perris Valley Line Capacity Improvement Project, for which the State recently awarded $25 million to Metrolink, a partnership application with RCTC.

I am proud to support RCTC’s efforts to advance multimodal and safety projects in Riverside County. RCTC has already committed 59% of the $207 million needed to complete the projects.

As a Self-Help County, RCTC is not only eligible to receive these funds but has demonstrated a major commitment to invest in mobility solutions necessary for the prosperity of its constituents.

For these reasons, we support the award of these funds to RCTC for the Mid County Parkway Construction Contract 3/ Perris Valley Line Second Main Track Projects.

Thank you,
William Davis, Mayor

City Council Meeting
Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 12
SUBJECT: BUENA MESA DRIVE - PAVEMENT REHABILITATION
MEETING DATE: October 17, 2022
PREPARED BY: Bonnie Johnson, City Manager
Michael Thornton, City Engineer
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council take the following actions:

1. Authorize the City Manager to develop and execute an agreement with Yucaipa Valley Water District (YVWD) – YVWD will rehabilitate the existing pavement along Buena Mesa Drive from Mesa Grande Drive to the Mastercraft Development project boundary. The City will compensate YVWD in the amount of $178,177.

2. Adopt Resolution 2022-60, Resolution of the City of Calimesa City Council Amending the fiscal year 2022-23 budget to appropriate $178,177 from the second tranche of American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding to cover the cost of Buena Mesa Drive Pavement Rehabilitation.

DISCUSSION: On March 7, 2022, staff presented Pavement Management Program project including Mesa Grade Drive/Buena Mesa Drive project (estimated at $181,000 for Buena Mesa Drive). Council selected a series of projects for the ’22-’23 Pavement Rehabilitation Program; however, the Mesa Grande Drive/Buena Mesa Drive project was neither recommended by staff nor selected for rehabilitation by Council. It was not recommended because YVWD was planning a recycled water pipeline along Buena Mesa Drive. Staff recommended waiting until after the pipeline was complete before performing rehabilitation.

YVWD and its contractor began work on its pipeline in June/July. In August, YVWD began work along Buena Mesa Drive – a roadway that contained poor to very poor pavement conditions. YVWD and City staff began discussing pavement rehabilitation requirements for the roadway. YVWD is responsible for trench repair paving. City staff requested from YVWD a cost for reconstruction of the entire roadway. Pavement rehabilitation shall include pulverizing the upper 7-inches of existing pavement/native materials, remove 3-inches of the blended materials, compact 4-inches of the blended materials as sub-base, pave 3-inches of base pavement and overlay, 0.1-feet minimum, the entire street.

On October 5, 2022, YVWD provided the following data:
• Total length in Buena Mesa trenching = 1,790 linear feet

Page 107 of 109 ends

• YVWD cost for sawcut and trench base paving = 1,790 lf x $22/lf + $7,304 (extra work) = $46,684
• Cost for overlay per current contract: 1,790 lf x 12’ x $1/sf = $21,480 • Total cost of proposed street replacement: $199,657 (Borden new cost) + $46,684 = $246,341
• Cost to City: $178,177
• Cost to District: $68,164
Staff has confirmed that the costs are reasonable and recommends that the City complete the work.

Staff further recommends that Council authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement with YVWD authorizing it to complete the rehabilitation work described above and permitting staff to compensate YVWD in the not to exceed amount of $178,177.

FISCAL IMPACT: The funding is not included in the current budget. Staff is requesting an additional appropriation from the second tranche of American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding in the amount of $178,177. A budget adjustment will be prepared to reflect the expenditure in the ARPA Fund for $178,177, Street expenditure account (16-0000-8700) with respective revenue recognition of $178,177, Other Governmental Revenues account (16-0000-4800).
