City Council Meeting
Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 5
SUBJECT: TREASURER’S REPORT FOR THE MONTH ENDED
AUGUST 31, 2023
MEETING DATE: October 16, 2023
PREPARED BY: Celeste Reid, Finance Director and Treasurer RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council receive and file the Investment Report for the month ended August 31, 2023.

BACKGROUND: Pursuant to Council Resolution No. 2022-61 approved on November 7, 2022, the monthly Treasurer’s Report is hereby submitted. The report complies with the aforementioned Council resolution, as well as Government Code Section 53646.

DISCUSSION: The investment report provides information in accordance with the Investment Policy approved by Council Resolution No. 2022-61. Information includes the reporting of realized and unrealized gain and loss activity for the respective month of reporting. Generally, unrealized gains and losses are the day-to-day increases or decreases in an assets value. Until an investment is sold for cash, the gains or losses remain unrealized. Realized gains and losses reflect the results of selling of investments and are the difference between the cost basis and the market value as of the transaction date of sale. The City will continually have reportable changes of unrealized gain and loss activity between cost basis and market value as underlying investments are subject to the variability of market conditions. Staff evaluates investment options on an ongoing basis to ensure reasonable access to funds and reserves are set aside to maintain availability of cash position for general operations and capital assets.

Significant transactions during the month include a transfer on August 16, 2023 of $1,800,000 from the LAIF investment fund to the General Checking account.

FISCAL IMPACT: Revenue was recognized for interest and dividend earnings of $9,184 from CFD and Successor Agency funds.

City Council Meeting
Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 6
SUBJECT: COUNCIL APPROVAL OF AN ALLOCATION OF FUNDS TO BE

USED FOR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES TO ENSURE
COMPLIANCE OF THE CALIFORNIA AB 434 DIGITAL
ACCESSIBILITY LAW.

MEETING DATE: October 16, 2023
PREPARED BY: Darlene Gerdes, Deputy City Manager/City Clerk RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council approve Resolution No. 2023-67, amending the FY 2023-24 Budget to include an additional appropriation to the Information Technology Account for Professional Services to ensure compliance of the California AB 434 Digital Accessibility Law.

BACKGROUND: California Assembly Bill 434 came into effect on July 1, 2019. It mandates that all state agencies and entities ensure that their websites live up to web content accessibility guidelines (WCAG) standards 2.0, level AA. The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) is an international standard that was and continues to be developed by the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI), a part of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). The WCAG was created with the intention of making the web a more accessible place for people with disabilities. The guidelines offer technical recommendations on how to make website content accessible. The guidelines are also the standard reference for most website accessibility-related legislation like the Americans with Disability Act (ADA) in the US.

Further, California Civil Code 51, the Unruh Civil Rights Act states that businesses must grant people with disabilities equal access to their services and facilities under this law. This includes, among other things, making sure websites are accessible to the blind and offering physical wheelchair access and sign language interpreters.

Staff’s intent is to make the City’s website as compliant as possible by adhering to the required guidelines and the State of California’s Digital Accessibility Law. In order to accomplish this, staff is recommending an allocation of funding to be able to partner with CivicPlus. As you know CivicPlus created our website and currently provides annual support, maintenance and hosting.

Monsido is a division of CivicPlus and would provide the appropriate services to ensure that the City of Calimesa website meets the necessary requirements.

FISCAL IMPACT: The FY 2023-24 General Fund Budget requires an amendment to include an appropriation of $6,500 to the Information Technology Department Fund 2100-7230 Other Contract Services.

PREPARED BY: Mari Shakir, Associate Engineer
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council provide staff with direction for the Myrtlewood Median Beautification Project proposed by the Calimesa Breakfast Lions Club.

The Lions Club is requesting that the City provide Traffic Control during installation and provide for the ongoing maintenance of the medians after installation. This would include replacement of any damaged components. Attached to this report is the proposal that shows the estimated cost of each item being installed. The Lions Club would provide a clean-up crew once a month to pick up trash.

ADOPTION OF THE RESIDENTIAL INFILL PRIORITY AREA OVERLAY ZONE (“RIPAOZ”) AND THE AMENDMENT OF VARIOUS SECTIONS OF THE ZONING CODE (TITLE 18 OF THE CALIMESA MUNICIPAL CODE)
WHEREAS, in 2017, Governor Brown signed a 15-bill housing package aimed at addressing the state’s housing shortage and high housing costs. The package included the Building Homes and Jobs Act (SB 2), which established a funding source to increase the supply of affordable homes in California by collecting a $75 recording fee on real estate documents. These funds were made available to all local governments in California to help prepare, adopt, and implement plans that streamline housing approvals and accelerate housing production; and,
WHEREAS, the City was awarded a $160,000 grant by the State of California Department of Housing and Community Development (“HCD”) SB 2 program to prepare a “Residential Infill Priority Area Overlay Zone”, also referred to as the “RIPAOZ,” to up-zone certain residential properties identified by the City to allow higher density development including duplexes, townhomes, condos, and a limited amount of apartments by-right; and,
WHEREAS, the City was awarded a $65,000 supplementary grant by HCD Local Early Action Grants program, also referred to as the “LEAP” program, to assist in the preparation and adoption of planning documents and process improvements that accelerate housing production and facilitate compliance to implement the sixth cycle of the regional housing need assessment; and, WHEREAS, the City prepared the RIPAOZ to encourage infill development and allow for higher density residential development than the underlying zoning designation as established by Calimesa Municipal Code (CMC) Chapter 18.20. The RIPAOZ establishes areas where infill residential development is encouraged which maintains the character of existing neighborhood buildings and structures; to permit a flexible approach to providing affordable housing; to increase property values in residential neighborhoods; and to foster well-planned, compact developments keeping with the character of the existing neighborhood by a) Providing opportunities for the development of affordable housing, b) Promoting efficiency in the utilization of existing infrastructure and services, c) Facilitating integrated physical design, d) Promoting a high level of design quality, e) Facilitating development proposals responsive to current and future market conditions, and f) Providing safe vehicular circulation patterns for residents and safety/service providers; and,
WHEREAS, ZC 21-01 is a component of the Residential Infill Priority Area Overlay Zone Project (the “RPIAOZ Project” or “Project”), and is considered a “project” pursuant to the terms of the California Environmental Quality Act, Public Resources Code Sections 21000 et seq. and the State CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Section 15000 et seq. (collectively “CEQA”); and, WHEREAS, an Environmental Impact Report (SCH#2022030754) and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program were prepared for the Project by the City of Calimesa (“City”), in accordance with CEQA to evaluate the development of the properties included in the RIPAOZ (Environmental Assessment 22-05); and,

WHEREAS, on September 13, 2023, the Fair Political Practices Commission (the “FPPC”) advised the City Attorney that it would be appropriate for the City Council to divide the City Council’s consideration of the RIPAOZ into segments pursuant to 2 Cal. Code of Regs. Section 18706; and, WHEREAS, accordingly, General Plan Amendment 22-01, and Zone Change 21-01 have been segmented into three distinct components pursuant to 2 Cal. Code of Regs. Section 18706. This Segment No. 1 of Zone Change 21-01 contains the property that is identified as Assessor Parcel Map No. 413-320- 003 and which is proposed to be added into newly created RIPAOZ Area 1.
