Our gratitude also goes to the Calimesa Fire Department for their vital contribution to the evening’s magic, and a very special thank you to Riverside Sheriff Captain Northrup for the unwavering support of the Sheriff’s Department.

We value this partnership immensely and look forward to continuing our work together to make Calimesa a vibrant place to live and do business.

Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 4.
SUBJECT: Treasurer's Report for the month ended December 31, 2025 MEETING DATE: March 2, 2026
PREPARED BY: Celeste Reid, Finance Director
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council receive and file the Investment Report for the month ended December 31, 2025.
BACKGROUND:
Pursuant to Council Resolution No. 2025-50 approved on September 15, 2025, 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. 2025-50. 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 transaction of $500,000 from the LAIF bank account to the Bank of American bank account on December 4, 2025.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING
Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 5.
SUBJECT: Discussion and direction regarding partial opening of Mountainview Park Phase 2 during the Turf establishment period.
MEETING DATE: March 2, 2026
PREPARED BY: Mari Shakir, Public Works Director
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council discuss and provide direction to staff regarding whether to:
1. Delay opening Mountainview Park Phase 2 until completion of the 30-day weed kill period and 90-day turf establishment period (approximately 120 days total); or
2. Open the pickleball court portion of Phase 2 while keeping the field and decomposed granite (DG) walking path closed during the turf establishment period.
BACKGROUND:
On February 7, 2022, the City Council conceptually approved the expansion of 4th Street Park, now known as Mountainview Park. Phase 2 improvements include pickleball courts, a new open turf field, DG walking paths, parking lot improvements, and associated amenities.
Construction of Phase 2 is nearing completion and is anticipated to be substantially complete within the next few weeks, pending weather conditions. During final site preparation, tumbleweed growth was identified within the new field area. In order to properly address the weed issue and promote long-term turf health, the contractor initiated the weed kill process on January 29, 2026, beginning the 120-day timeline necessary for treatment and turf establishment. This period includes the weed kill duration followed by seeding and the recommended 90-day turf establishment period. Based on the January 29, 2026 start date, the establishment period is anticipated to conclude in late May 2026. Until that time, the field area is not suitable for public use without risk of turf damage or establishment failure.
The contractor has indicated that temporary fencing could be installed to isolate the field and DG walking path if the Council elects to partially open the pickleball courts.
DISCUSSION:
Under Option 1, the City would delay opening the entirety of Mountainview Park Phase 2 until the completion of the 120-day weed treatment and turf establishment period. This approach would ensure that the turf is fully established prior to public use and would allow the City to conduct a single grand opening for the complete expansion. It would also avoid the operational challenges associated with managing partially open areas and would preserve full pedestrian connectivity between the 5th Street access point and the original portion of the park once the expansion is opened.
Under Option 2, the City would open the pickleball courts to the public once construction is complete while keeping the field area and decomposed granite walking path temporarily closed during the turf establishment period. This option would provide earlier public access to the pickleball courts but would require temporary fencing and additional monitoring to prevent access to the field area. Because the DG walking path would remain closed, pedestrian connectivity between 5th Street and the original park would be eliminated during the establishment period, effectively creating two separate park areas. This approach may also require consideration of how and when to conduct a formal grand opening event.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact at this time.

A member of the public expressed concern that Summerwind Park did not have cameras while 4th Street Park did and suggested the City’s approach was inconsistent. Staff noted at the time that the cameras at 4th Street Park were installed several years ago using older technology and that Summerwind Park had experienced vandalism and minor incidents since opening, with vandalism repair and cleanup costs totaling approximately $15,000 to date. While funding was not allocated in the adopted FY 2025–26 budget, several Councilmembers expressed interest in evaluating the feasibility and cost of an updated surveillance system as part of a broader physical security strategy for City facilities.
On October 20, 2025, the City Council considered a staff report requesting authorization to issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the design and installation of a video surveillance system at Summerwind Park. At that meeting, Council reviewed the draft RFP, discussed system
features and interoperability with the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department, and authorized staff to proceed with advertising the RFP.
The City issued the RFP on October 28, 2025. The RFP required proposers to provide a cloudbased system with secure remote access, cybersecurity protections, and scalability for potential future installations at other City facilities. The RFP also emphasized interoperability with the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department and preference for firms with municipal experience and familiarity with cooperative purchasing programs.
Proposals were due December 4, 2025. The City received three proposals by the deadline.
DISCUSSION:
Following initial review of the three proposals received, two firms were selected for interviews.
Both firms proposed utilizing the Verkada cloud-based surveillance platform. Interviews were conducted by the Fire/Sheriff Services Ad-Hoc Committee, consisting of Mayor Pro Tem John Manly and Councilmember Eric Cundieff, along with City staff and representatives from the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department.
The evaluation focused on municipal experience, system design, scalability, lifecycle costs, cybersecurity approach, and the proposer’s ability to coordinate with law enforcement. After interviews and scoring, the panel determined that WCC Technologies Group provided the most comprehensive and cost-effective solution.
WCC Technologies Group is a Southern California-based technology integrator with experience serving multiple municipalities, including the Cities of Mission Viejo, Hemet, and Vernon. The firm demonstrated familiarity with public procurement requirements, prevailing wage compliance, and the operational needs of public agencies. Staff worked with WCC to refine and negotiate the scope of work following interviews, resulting in the final Scope of Work dated January 23, 2026.
The negotiated scope includes installation of a new equipment cabinet and uninterruptible power supply, cellular connectivity infrastructure, five Verkada cameras (including multi-sensor and PTZ units), wireless and cellular gateways, solar-powered pole installations, conduit and cabling, and five-year cloud licensing. The system is designed to provide secure remote access, redundancy through cellular connectivity, and compatibility with Sheriff’s Department systems.
The total negotiated project cost is $86,515.34, as reflected in the Professional Services Agreement.
The agreement term for installation extends through June 30, 2026, and includes prevailing wage compliance, insurance, indemnification, and standard City contract protections.
The proposed system is intended to improve public safety, deter vandalism, reduce repair
costs, and establish a technological standard for potential future installations at other City facilities.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The total cost of the project is $86,515.34. No appropriation was included in the adopted FY 2025–26 budget for this project. Funding is proposed to be appropriated from the Summerwind Community Facilities District (CFD), which contains available funds sufficient to support the installation. A corresponding budget adjustment is included for Council consideration.
Ongoing maintenance costs will consist primarily of software licensing and optional preventative maintenance services, which can be addressed in future budget cycles.

18. No Third Party Beneficiaries Intended. This Agreement is made solely for the benefit of the Parties to this Agreement and their respective successors and assigns, and no other person or entity may have or acquire a right by virtue of this Agreement.
19. Waiver. No delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to City under this Agreement shall impair any right, power or remedy of City, nor shall it be construed as a waiver of, or consent to, any breach or default. No waiver of any breach, any failure of a condition, or any right or remedy under this Agreement shall be (1) effective unless it is in writing and signed by the Party making the waiver, (2) deemed to be a waiver of, or consent to, any other breach, failure of a condition, or right or remedy, or (3) deemed to constitute a continuing waiver unless the writing expressly so states.
20. Final Payment Acceptance Constitutes Release. The acceptance by Consultant of the final payment made under this Agreement shall operate as and be a release of City from all claims and liabilities for compensation to Consultant for anything done, furnished or relating to Consultant’s work or services. Acceptance of payment shall be any negotiation of City’s check or the failure to make a written extra compensation claim within ten calendar days of the receipt of that check. However, approval or payment by City shall not constitute, nor be deemed, a release of the responsibility and liability of Consultant, its employees, subcontractors and agents for the accuracy and competency of the information provided and/or work performed; nor shall such approval or payment be deemed to be an assumption of such responsibility or liability by City for any defect or error in the work prepared by Consultant, its employees, subcontractors and agents.
21. Corrections. In addition to the above indemnification obligations, Consultant shall correct, at its expense, all errors in the work which may be disclosed during City’s review of Consultant’s report or plans. Should Consultant fail to make such correction in a reasonably timely manner, such correction may be made by City, and the cost thereof shall be charged to Consultant. In addition to all other available remedies, City may deduct the cost of such correction from any retention amount held by City or may withhold payment otherwise owed Consultant under this Agreement up to the amount of the cost of correction.
22. Non-Appropriation of Funds. Payments to be made to Consultant by City for services performed within the current fiscal year are within the current fiscal budget and within an available, unexhausted fund. In the event that City does not appropriate sufficient funds for payment of Consultant’s services beyond the current fiscal year, this Agreement shall cover payment for Consultant’s services only to the conclusion of the last fiscal year in which City appropriates sufficient funds and shall automatically terminate at the conclusion of such fiscal year.
