CITY COUNCIL MEETING
Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 5.

SUBJECT: I-10/Cherry Valley Boulevard Interchange MNS Engineers Budget and Schedule Amendment
MEETING DATE: August 17, 2026
PREPARED BY: Will Kolbow, City Manager
Mike Thornton, City Engineer
RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council approve a contract amount increase with MNS Engineers, Inc. from $3,651,159 to $4,541,454 and extend the contract term to June 30, 2027 for Plans, Specifications and Estimates (PS&E) preparation.

BACKGROUND:

On May 6, 2024, the City Council authorized execution of a Professional Services Agreement with MNS Engineers in the amount of $3,651,159.00. The term of the Agreement ended December 31, 2025. The PS&E is funded through a TUMF credit agreement with Jen SoCal (Summerwind Trails Developer).

DISCUSSION:

MNS has requested a budget increase and a contract time extension. Project scope changes are described in the following paragraphs:

1. Project Management – added project management services are related to items 2 through 4 presented below. MNS is requesting a budget increase of $40,400 for the added Project Management services.

2. Bridge Wing Walls – during design, Caltrans changed bridge wing wall requirements.

Changes required preparation of separate nonstandard structure packages. To meet these new requirements, the total number of construction drawings required for wing walls increased from 6 sheets to 48 sheets. MNS is requesting a budget increase of $350,000 for the wing wall design and Caltrans processing.

3. Non-Standard Wall Design – during design, MNS determined that Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) and Soldier walls are more cost-effective use for the Project –

Page 39 of 164 ends

MNS estimates that use of the alternative walls will save up to $8 million in construction costs. However, the design is more complex because the walls are not standard. The proposed wall changes require geotechnical and drainage design additional services.

MNS is requesting a budget increase of $301,895 for the nonstandard wall, geotechnical, and drainage design.

4. Environmental Revalidation – is required because the estimated Project Opening Year has changed together with the amount of time that has passed since the Project Approval and Environmental Documents was approved. Revalidation includes traffic analyses, air quality updates (including re-presenting the project to the SCAG Transportation Conformity Working Group), Crotch’s bumble bee habitat assessment, noise barrier analysis update, and incorporating information from the Supplemental Initial Site Assessment. MNS is requesting a budget increase of $198,000 for the added Environmental Revalidation services.

MNS has requested a total budget increase of $890,295.00 increasing the total contract amount from $3,651,159.00 to $4,541,454.00.

In addition, it is anticipated the work will extend to June 30, 2027.

FISCAL IMPACT:

A budget adjustment of $890,295 is requested to support the anticipated increase in contractual expenditures. In accordance with the Jen SoCal Development Agreement, Section

8.5, Traffic Uniform Mitigation Fees (TUMF), the Developer shall fund, in advance, PS&E work.

City of Calimesa
Michael Thornton, City Engineer
Subject: I-10/Cherry Valley PS&E
Based on meetings with Caltrans over the last year while progressing our project through 65% design, which we have achieved, we have additional scope required on this project to get it to 100% completion.

The work below is laid out to explain the additional scope in a logical fashion, along with where in the provided scope and fee (sections) it can be found:

Environmental Revalidation (Section V):

Every PS&E phase requires some form of Environmental Revalidation for Caltrans to document any project changes that have happened since the approval of PA/ED. Since we have worked with Caltrans over the last year to obtain the NEPA CE that was not completed, we have a full understanding of what this revalidation will take, which will document the opening and horizon project years as well as any other changes to the project like the removal of Calimesa Blvd Realignment and other various minor tweaks.

Environmental Revalidation in PS&E is required on every single Caltrans project in some way and is unavoidable as these projects (Caltrans oversight projects) progress through this phase.

Most of this work will come from the following subconsultants: Fehr & Peers and ICF.

Non-Standard Wall Design (Sections VI – IX):

This is a project driven change and came through the further design of the project. We have determined that 2 of the walls are significantly less expensive when using MSE and Soldier type walls, instead of Type 1 walls saving approximately ~$8M in construction, but the design effort for these more complex walls increases based on original scope/fee. These type of retaining walls are considered “nonstandard” and therefore require a more rigorous Caltrans approval process.

Our added fee is as streamlined as possible to ensure the work meets the qualifications and requirements set forth by Caltrans, who will ultimately own these walls. These will be the 2 major wall structures on the project outside of the bridge along the EB Off Ramp as well as the WB On Ramp that will retain a significant amount of earth (dirt) to support and protect the respective roadbeds.

For context of the design effort, Type 1 walls are relatively basic in design effort compared to the walls that are now being assumed. In situations like this, it is only recommended to design these walls if it decreases overall construction cost, which it does in this case. It is a trade-off that is highly recommended. Furthermore, Caltrans will question why much more impactful and costly walls (Type 1) were to be built in lieu of these nonstandard wall types.

July 15, 2026
Additional geotechnical borings and drainage design are required as part of this complex design work, and have been included from the following subconsultants: AIX and EMI.

Bridge Wing Walls (Sections VI – IX):

On very recent projects, including this one, Caltrans Headquarters has requested that bridge wing walls that are nonstandard require separate structure package(s). Technically, where a certain geotechnical environment exists (with a peak ground acceleration of greater than 0.6) we would typically document that situation and keep those wing walls as part of the bridge package itself, which is what was scoped. This new requirement has changed that assumption and thus will require additional design and drafting efforts.

This effort will take an additional approximately 42 sheets of production work. For context and scale, this work would have typically been handled on 6 sheets within the bridge package as stated above; it will now be a total of 48 sheets to separate it into the required packages.

Project Management (Sections I):

The efforts to manage this work have increased compared to the original scope and if outlined and estimated in the scope and fee, respectively.

Sincerely,
MNS Engineers, Inc.

in that subsequent Phase plus the additional $1 Million DIF bond remaining in place from the Phase 2 park improvements.

Developer shall complete the preliminary design of the Community Recreation Center, to be located in Planning Area B-7, prior to the issuance of the 500th building permit within Phase 2 of the Project. Construction shall commence on the Community Recreation Center prior to the issuance of the 100th building permit within Phase 3 of the Project and shall be completed and made available for community use within 18 months thereafter due to force majeure events of the nature described in Section 23.1 (based upon the actual period of delay caused by such event(s)) or other third party delays beyond the Developer’s control.” Section 8.5 of the Development Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

8.5 TRAFFIC UNIFORM MITIGATION FEES.

8.5 Traffic Uniform Mitigation Fees (“TUMF”); Construction of TUMF Facilities.
“Except as expressly provided in the following sentence, notwithstanding any other provision of this Development Agreement or any other agreement entered into between City and any predecessor of Developer which has been assigned to Developer, Developer’s sole obligations with respect to any TUMF improvements, including without limitation the Cherry Valley Boulevard/I-10 Interchange (including without limitation on- and off-ramps) and the Singleton Road/I-10 Interchange (including without limitation on-and off-ramps) and the Sandalwood Road/I-10 Interchange (including without limitation on-and off-ramps) shall be limited to payment of the Project’s allocable TUMF Fees for the improvements within the Project at the time of issuance of certificates of occupancy, and Developer shall not be required to otherwise fund, advance, design, construct or bond for any TUMF Improvements. Notwithstanding the general limitation of the prior sentence, Developer shall fund up to Four Hundred and Twelve Thousand Dollars ($412,000) of remaining Phase 1 TUMF fee obligations with respect to the Phase 1 development upon request of City and in accordance with the existing “TUMF Improvement and Credit/Reimbursement Agreements” (the “Remaining Phase 1 Obligations”). In addition, to the extent the Remaining Phase 1 Credit Amount is not sufficient to fund the remaining costs of completing the Plans, Specifications and Estimate work (the “PSE Work”) still to be completed with respect to the Cherry Valley Boulevard/I-10 Interchange, which total cost of PSE Work (including the portion to be funded by the Remaining Phase 1 Obligations) is currently estimated to have a total remaining cost to complete as of the First Amendment Date of Two Million Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,200,000), then Developer shall also fund the reasonable cost of such PSE Work in excess of the Remaining Phase 1 Obligations, and all amounts so advanced by Developer in excess of the Phase 1 Obligations shall be credited toward the first subsequent TUMF Fees that would thereafter have otherwise been payable with respect to development in any of Phases 2-5. Except for such remaining funding obligation

Page 44 of 164 ends

13 84615.015 - 434407.5

CITY COUNCIL MEETING
Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 7.

SUBJECT: Request for Street Closure - Monthly Market Night MEETING DATE: August 17, 2026
PREPARED BY: Yaiza Benson, Deputy City Clerk/Executive Assistant RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2026-49, a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Calimesa, California, authorizing the temporary closure of a portion of Myrtlewood Drive between Calimesa Boulevard and the first driveway approach from 2:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. on the last Wednesday of each month for the City’s monthly Market Night.

BACKGROUND:

In March 2026, the city entered into an agreement with Where’s the Event for vendor coordination services for the city’s monthly Market Night. Since implementation, the event has experienced limited foot traffic and visibility at its current location (1055 Calimesa Boulevard).

In an effort to increase visibility and encourage greater community participation, staff has evaluated relocating the monthly Market Night to Myrtlewood Drive. The proposed location is more centrally located and provides greater visibility from Calimesa Boulevard.

DISCUSSION:

Staff is proposing to relocate the monthly Market Night to a portion of Myrtlewood Drive beginning in September 2026, with the event occurring on the last Wednesday of each month thereafter.

To accommodate the event, staff is requesting authorization to temporarily close a portion of Myrtlewood Drive between Calimesa Boulevard and the first driveway approach from 2:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. on the last Wednesday of each month. The closure period will provide adequate time for vendor setup, operation of the Market Night, and breakdown following the event.

The proposed closure has been intentionally limited to a portion of Myrtlewood Drive to minimize impacts to surrounding businesses and the general flow of traffic. The first driveway approach will remain open and accessible, allowing continued access to businesses beyond the closure area.

Page 50 of 164 ends

Appropriate traffic control and safety measures will be implemented during each closure, including K-rail barriers, traffic control signage, and other measures necessary to restrict vehicular access to the event area and provide for the safety of vendors and attendees.

California Vehicle Code Section 21101(e) provides that local authorities may adopt a resolution temporarily closing a portion of any street for celebrations, parades, local special events, and other purposes when, in the opinion of the local authority having jurisdiction, the closure is necessary for the safety and protection of persons using that portion of the street during the temporary closure.

Staff has also provided notice of the proposed closure to surrounding businesses and provided an opportunity for business owners to contact the city with any questions or concerns regarding the proposed closure.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The proposed street closure is expected to have a minimal fiscal impact. Expenses are limited to the staff time of two Public Works employees to set up and remove the temporary street closure, including K-rail barriers, traffic control signage, and other safety measures required for the monthly Market Night.

Dear Business Owner,
The City of Calimesa is proposing to relocate its monthly Market Night to a portion of Myrtlewood Drive to provide the event with a more central and visible location. The city hopes to begin hosting the Market Night at this location on September 30, 2026, and continue on the last Wednesday of each month thereafter.

As proposed, a portion of Myrtlewood Drive between Calimesa Boulevard and the first driveway approach would be temporarily closed to vehicular traffic on the last Wednesday of each month from 2:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. The closure would allow for adequate time for vendor setup, the Market Night event, and breakdown.

The city has intentionally limited the proposed closure to only a portion of Myrtlewood Drive to minimize impacts to surrounding businesses and traffic. The driveway approach will remain open and accessible, allowing vehicles to continue accessing businesses beyond the closure area.

Appropriate traffic control and safety measures, including K-rail barriers and signage, will be placed during the closure to safely direct vehicles and pedestrians.

For your reference, a diagram of the proposed street closure is included with this letter.

We appreciate your understanding as the city works to create a safe and welcoming location for the monthly Market Night while minimizing impacts to neighboring businesses.

Should you have any questions or concerns regarding the proposed closure or its potential impact on your business, please feel free to reach out to me.

Respectfully,

CITY COUNCIL MEETING
Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 8.

SUBJECT: Approval of First Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with Palacios Law Office for Hearing Officer Services.

MEETING DATE: August 17, 2026
PREPARED BY: Darlene Gerdes, Deputy City Manager/City Clerk RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute the first amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with Palacios Law Office to provide Hearing Officer Services under the City’s Mobilehome Rent Stabilization Ordinance and Administrative Rules.

BACKGROUND:

On June 19, 2025, the City Council approved a Professional Services Agreement with Palacios Law Office for Hearing Officer Services for the Mobilehome Rent Stabilization Program. Council direction was based on the ongoing, recurring issues of finding, filling, and maintaining the fivemember board with qualified candidates that could understand the complexity of the documents associated with the special rent adjustment applications.

DISCUSSION:

The approved agreement was for a term of one year with a provision that at the end of the initial one-year term, if both parties agree, the agreement may be extended for an additional term up to five (5) years. The parties both agree to extend the term of the agreement for (5) years. With the 5 year extension, Mr. Palacios further requested an increase in the hourly rate from $150 to $200. Staff concurs and the First Amendment to the Agreement provides for a 5- year extension and an increase in the hourly rate to $200.00 and is included as an attachment to this staff report.

There have been no new rent increase petitions submitted to the City, staff would just like to be prepared should something be submitted at a future date.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The reserve balance in the Mobile Home Rent Control Fund will provide the funding necessary for these services. The Mobile Home Rent Stabilization Ordinance also requires costs for a

Page 55 of 164 ends

public hearing to be paid by the petitioner to the City prior to the scheduled public hearing.

Those costs will be based on an estimate prepared by the City Manager.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING
Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 9.

SUBJECT: Approval the establishment of a Firefighter Trainee/Paramedic Classification and reactivate the Deputy Fire Marshall Classification.

MEETING DATE: August 17, 2026
PREPARED BY: Paul Lindley, Fire Chief
RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council:

2. Approve the reactivation of the Deputy Fire Marshal classification within the Calimesa Fire Department.

3. Approve the associated job descriptions and salary ranges for both classifications.

BACKGROUND:

The Calimesa Fire Department continues to evaluate its organizational structure and staffing needs to ensure the Department can provide reliable emergency response, advanced life support (ALS), fire prevention, and community risk reduction services to the community. As the City continues to grow and service demands increase, maintaining sufficient qualified personnel is essential to the Department’s ability to meet current and future operational needs. Like many fire service agencies throughout Southern California, the Department must compete within a limited labor market for qualified Firefighter/Paramedics. Developing additional recruitment pathways is an important component of maintaining adequate staffing and ensuring the Department remains competitive in attracting qualified paramedic candidates.

The Department has identified two classifications that would strengthen its organizational capacity. The first is the establishment of a Firefighter Trainee/Paramedic classification

Page 76 of 164 ends

specifically designed to enhance recruitment capabilities and create an additional pathway into the Firefighter/Paramedic classification. The second is the reactivation of the previously established Deputy Fire Marshal classification to provide dedicated management and oversight of fire prevention and community risk reduction activities.

Together, these actions will provide the Department with greater flexibility to recruit and develop personnel, maintain emergency response staffing, and appropriately manage the City’s fire prevention responsibilities.

FIREFIGHTER TRAINEE/PARAMEDIC
The proposed Firefighter Trainee/Paramedic classification is intended to enhance the City’s recruitment capabilities by creating an additional pathway for qualified paramedics to enter the Calimesa Fire Department who may not yet possess all certifications or training required for appointment as a regular Firefighter/Paramedic.

Recruitment of qualified Firefighter/Paramedics remains highly competitive throughout Southern California. Requiring candidates to possess both paramedic licensure and all required firefighter certifications at the time of application can significantly limit the available applicant pool.

Establishing the Firefighter Trainee/Paramedic classification will allow the City to broaden its recruitment efforts and compete for qualified paramedic candidates who are interested in pursuing a career in the fire service.

The classification will provide the Department with the ability to recruit individuals who possess the required paramedic qualifications and meet established entry requirements while providing a structured pathway for completion of required firefighter training, certification, and Department qualification requirements.

Employees appointed as Firefighter Trainee/Paramedics would serve in a trainee capacity and would be required to successfully complete all Department-established training, certification, academy, probationary, and performance requirements before advancement to the Firefighter/Paramedic classification.

The Firefighter Trainee/Paramedic classification is specifically intended to strengthen the Department’s recruitment and retention strategy by allowing the City to:
• Expand recruitment to a larger pool of qualified paramedics. Recruit paramedics who have not yet completed a recognized firefighter academy or obtained all required firefighter certifications. Increase the number of qualified candidates available to fill current and future Firefighter/Paramedic vacancies. Provide a defined career pathway from Firefighter Trainee/Paramedic to Firefighter/Paramedic. • Develop new personnel under Calimesa Fire Department training and operational standards.
• Improve the City’s competitiveness when recruiting paramedics in a highly competitive regional labor market.
• Reduce the length of time Firefighter/Paramedic vacancies remain unfilled.

Page 77 of 164 ends

• Improve long-term staffing stability and succession planning. • Support the Department’s ability to maintain appropriate ALS staffing and emergency response capabilities.

The Firefighter Trainee/Paramedic classification would not replace or reduce the qualifications of the existing Firefighter/Paramedic classification. Instead, it would serve as a recruitment and developmental classification designed to expand the City’s ability to attract qualified paramedics and prepare them for advancement to Firefighter/Paramedic upon successful completion of all established requirements.

DEPUTY FIRE MARSHAL
The Deputy Fire Marshal is an existing City classification that is currently inactive. Staff recommends reactivating the classification to provide dedicated management and oversight of the Department’s fire prevention and community risk reduction responsibilities.

The Fire Department is responsible for a broad range of regulatory and community risk reduction functions, including fire and life safety inspections, plan review, development review, fire code administration and enforcement, fire investigations, public education, vegetation and wildfire risk reduction programs, and coordination with other City departments and outside agencies.

As development activity and regulatory requirements continue to increase, these responsibilities require dedicated technical expertise and administrative oversight.

Reactivating the Deputy Fire Marshal classification would provide the Fire Chief with a management-level position responsible for coordinating and administering these functions while maintaining accountability for the City’s fire prevention program.

The Deputy Fire Marshal may be assigned responsibilities including:
• Fire and life safety inspections.
• Fire protection system and development plan review.
• California Fire Code administration and enforcement.
• New construction and development coordination.
• Fire investigations and investigation program oversight. • Community risk reduction programs.
• Wildland-urban interface and vegetation management activities. • State-mandated inspection programs.
• Coordination with the City’s Building, Planning, and Code Enforcement functions. • Coordination with developers, contractors, design professionals, and outside agencies. • Development and implementation of fire prevention policies and procedures. • Training and supervision of personnel assigned fire prevention responsibilities.

Page 78 of 164 ends

• Assistance with emergency management and Department operations as assigned by the Fire Chief.

Reactivating the Deputy Fire Marshal classification would strengthen the Department’s ability to manage increasingly complex fire prevention and development responsibilities while allowing the Fire Chief to delegate day-to-day administration of these programs and maintain executive oversight.

DISCUSSION:

ORGANIZATIONAL NEED
The establishment and reactivation of these classifications address two separate but complementary organizational needs.

The Firefighter Trainee/Paramedic classification directly supports the Department’s efforts to improve recruitment and maintain adequate emergency response staffing. The classification provides the City with greater flexibility to recruit from the broader paramedic workforce rather than limiting recruitment to candidates who already possess the complete combination of firefighter and paramedic qualifications.

This expanded recruitment pathway will allow the Department to identify qualified candidates earlier, provide required firefighter training and development, and transition successful employees into the Firefighter/Paramedic classification. This approach strengthens the Department’s ability to maintain ALS staffing while developing employees according to the operational expectations and standards of the Calimesa Fire Department.

The Deputy Fire Marshal classification addresses the Department’s need for dedicated oversight of increasingly complex fire prevention, development, inspection, code enforcement, and community risk reduction responsibilities.

Together, the two classifications provide additional organizational flexibility. One strengthens the Department’s ability to recruit and develop operational personnel, while the other strengthens the Department’s capacity to administer fire prevention and community risk reduction programs.

SALARY AND CLASSIFICATION
Staff recommends establishing the Firefighter Trainee/Paramedic classification at a salary range appropriate for a trainee-level paramedic classification and below the established Firefighter/Paramedic salary range.

The salary placement should recognize the employee’s paramedic licensure and associated responsibilities while also recognizing that the employee remains in a developmental classification until all requirements for advancement to Firefighter/Paramedic have been completed.

Page 79 of 164 ends

Firefighter Trainee/Paramedic
Salary Range: $61,224 - $78,132
The Deputy Fire Marshal classification would be reactivated at a salary range commensurate with the position’s management responsibilities, technical requirements, and placement within the Fire Department’s organizational structure.

Deputy Fire Marshal
Salary Range: $72,180 – $92,136 annually
The final salary ranges will be incorporated into the City’s salary schedule.

Staff further recommends authorizing the City Manager to make any administrative adjustments necessary to appropriately place the classifications within the City’s classification and compensation system.

PERSONNEL IMPACT
Approval of the recommended actions will establish Firefighter Trainee/Paramedic as an authorized City classification and reactivate the existing Deputy Fire Marshal classification. The establishment of the Firefighter Trainee/Paramedic classification provides the Department with an additional recruitment tool and does not replace the existing Firefighter/Paramedic classification. Individuals appointed to the trainee classification will be required to satisfy established training, certification, performance, and promotional requirements prior to advancement to Firefighter/Paramedic. Reactivation of the Deputy Fire Marshal classification will allow the City to recruit or appoint a qualified individual when operational needs and funding warrant filling the position.

ALTERNATIVES
The City Council may:
• Approve the recommended actions.
• Approve one classification and not the other.
• Modify the proposed classifications, salary ranges, or authorized staffing levels. • Direct staff to return with additional information.
• Take no action.

The Calimesa Fire Department continues to evaluate its staffing and organizational structure to ensure the Department can meet the City’s current and future emergency response and community risk reduction needs.

Establishing the Firefighter Trainee/Paramedic classification will enhance the City’s recruitment capabilities by expanding the pool of paramedic candidates eligible to enter the Department.

Page 80 of 164 ends

Rather than limiting recruitment to individuals who already possess the complete combination of firefighter and paramedic qualifications, the classification provides the City with the ability to recruit qualified paramedics and develop them into Firefighter/Paramedics under Calimesa Fire Department standards.

This additional recruitment pathway will improve the Department’s competitiveness in the regional labor market, assist in filling current and future vacancies, support ALS staffing, and improve long-term workforce stability.

Reactivating the Deputy Fire Marshal classification will restore dedicated management capacity for fire prevention, development, inspection, code enforcement, and community risk reduction responsibilities.

Approval of both classifications will provide the Fire Department with greater organizational flexibility, strengthen recruitment and workforce development, improve emergency response staffing capabilities, and ensure appropriate oversight of the City’s growing fire prevention responsibilities.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The fiscal impact associated with these actions will depend upon the number of positions authorized, timing of recruitment and appointment, salary placement, and associated benefit costs. The Firefighter Trainee/Paramedic classification is intended to provide an alternative recruitment and development mechanism for filling current and future operational vacancies.

Establishing the classification does not, by itself, require that a position immediately be filled or create additional full-time equivalent (FTE) positions. Positions may be authorized and filled based upon Department staffing needs and available funding. To the extent the classification assists the Department in filling existing vacancies more quickly and reducing overtime associated with staffing shortages, a portion of the personnel cost may be offset through reduced overtime expenditures. The addition of FTE's would require future City Council action.

Reactivation of the Deputy Fire Marshal classification will result in salary and benefit costs based upon the approved salary range and the date the position is filled. The FY 2026-27 Community Risk Reduction budget included an appropriation for contracted Fire Prevention services. The reactivation is an alternative to contracted Fire Prevention services in part, so to the extent that the City hires a Deputy Fire Marshal on a full or part-time basis, the costs would be offset by budget savings from a reduction in contract services.

Any ongoing fiscal impacts associated with the classifications will be incorporated into future Fire Department operating budgets.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING
Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 10.

SUBJECT: Surplus Of 2008 Chevrolet Suburban 2500 – Command Vehicle – Transfer Possession To The Newberry Springs Community Services District – Volunteer Fire Department.

MEETING DATE: August 17, 2026
PREPARED BY: Paul Lindley, Fire Chief
RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2026-50, a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Calimesa, California authorizing the City Manager and or his/her designee to release possession of a surplus Command Vehicle and transfer the same to the Newberry Springs Community Services District – Volunteer Fire Department.

BACKGROUND:

The City of Calimesa Fire Department is proposing the transfer of a Chevrolet Suburban to the Calimesa Community Services District (CSD). The vehicle is no longer needed for Fire Department operations but remains serviceable and can continue to provide useful service to the CSD.

Transferring the vehicle will allow the City to repurpose an existing asset for continued public use while supporting the operational needs of the CSD and maximizing the useful life of Cityowned equipment.

DISCUSSION:

Although the Chevrolet Suburban is no longer needed for Fire Department operations, the vehicle remains serviceable and suitable for continued non-emergency use. The Newberry Springs Community Services District (CSD) has a need for a vehicle to support its daily operations and community services.

Transferring the Suburban to the Newberry Springs CSD will allow the vehicle to remain in public service, extend its useful life, and support another local public agency. The transfer provides a beneficial reuse of existing public resources while avoiding the unnecessary disposal of a serviceable vehicle and supporting the operational needs of the Newberry Springs CSD.

Page 91 of 164 ends

FISCAL IMPACT:

The transfer of this fixed asset will be reflected in the City’s annual financial report, with the appropriate depreciation calculated and recorded in accordance with applicable accounting standards and City financial policies.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING
Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 11.

SUBJECT: Annexation Project Agreement with I10 Logistics Owner, LLC MEETING DATE: August 17, 2026
PREPARED BY: Will Kolbow, City Manager
RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council approve the Annexation Project Agreement between the City of Calimesa and I10 Logistics Owner, LLC and authorize the Mayor to execute the Agreement on behalf of the City.

BACKGROUND:

I10 Logistics Owner, LLC initiated an application for the annexation of approximately 313 acres of unincorporated territory generally located along Cherry Valley Boulevard, east of the existing City limits and north of Interstate 10. The annexation area includes approximately 138.7 acres developed with two existing industrial warehouse buildings, together with additional property located generally south of Cherry Valley Boulevard.

Because the annexation area is presently outside the City's Sphere of Influence, annexation ultimately requires approval by the Riverside Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO). As part of the process, the City was required to take several land use actions establishing the appropriate General Plan and zoning designations that would apply upon annexation.

On July 20, 2026, the City Council conducted a public hearing to consider the proposed annexation and associated land use actions. Following the public hearing, the City Council approved the General Plan Amendment, Conditional Use Permits, and related actions and introduced Ordinance No. 423 establishing the Warehouse Overlay Zone and prezoning the annexation area.

The proposed Annexation Project Agreement was also discussed as part of the July 20 presentation. At that time, staff provided the City Council with an overview of the major financial and community benefit provisions that had been negotiated with I10 Logistics Owner, LLC. Although the staff report anticipated bringing the final Agreement forward with the second reading of Ordinance No. 423, several legal provisions of the Agreement remained under review and the document was not ready for Council consideration at that time.

Page 100 of 164 ends

Ordinance No. 423 was subsequently adopted on second reading as a Consent Calendar item on August 3, 2026. Staff and the applicant have now completed the Annexation Project Agreement, which is presented as a standalone item for City Council consideration.

DISCUSSION:

The proposed Annexation Project Agreement establishes the respective obligations of the City and I10 Logistics Owner, LLC in connection with the annexation and provides for certain payments and community benefits following successful completion of the annexation.

The Agreement has an eligibility period of 15 fiscal years beginning with the fiscal year in which the annexation becomes effective for property tax purposes.

Contingent Annual Payments
Following annexation, the City will receive a share of the property taxes generated by the industrial property within the annexation area. Under the Agreement, the City will make Contingent Annual Payments to I10 Logistics Owner, LLC equal to 95 percent of the City's base property tax allotment generated from the identified industrial property.

The payments are contingent upon the City first receiving the applicable property tax revenues and maintaining a minimum annual benefit to the City. In each eligibility year, the City must receive at least $150,000 in combined retained revenues and applicable community benefit contributions before a payment to I10 Logistics Owner, LLC is triggered.

The Agreement provides for a maximum of $12.95 million in gross Contingent Annual Payments. Because I10 Logistics Owner, LLC is separately required to contribute $450,000 toward the City's aerial ladder truck, the maximum net amount received by I10 Logistics Owner, LLC under the arrangement is $12.5 million.

Once the payment cap is reached, no additional Contingent Annual Payments are due, and the City retains the full amount of property tax revenues generated by the property.

Community Benefits
In addition to the ongoing fiscal benefits associated with the annexation, the Agreement provides several direct community benefits:
• First Eligibility Year: I10 Logistics Owner, LLC will contribute $450,000 toward the aerial ladder truck previously acquired by the City for the Fire Department. • Second Eligibility Year and thereafter until the payment cap is reached: The Agreement provides for a $115,000 annual Public Services Contribution that may be used by the City for any valid public purpose.
• Second Eligibility Year and thereafter until the payment cap is reached: I10 Logistics Owner, LLC will contribute $10,000 annually to one or more nonprofit organizations

Page 101 of 164 ends

providing programs or services to Calimesa residents.

Based on the estimated payment schedule included with the Agreement, the payment cap is currently projected to be reached during the 14th Eligibility Year. These projections are estimates only and actual payments will depend upon property tax assessments and revenues actually received by the City.

Other Agreement Provisions
The Agreement also establishes responsibilities for completing the LAFCO annexation process and requires I10 Logistics Owner, LLC to reimburse the City's documented third-party costs associated with the pre-annexation process, including applicable legal costs.

The City's post-annexation payment obligations do not become effective unless the annexation is successfully completed and LAFCO's Certificate of Completion is recorded. The Agreement further provides mechanisms for adjustments in the event property tax revenues are subsequently reduced, refunded, or determined to have been incorrectly allocated.

The Agreement also contains default and remedy provisions, restrictions on assignment, and indemnification provisions addressing third-party legal challenges to the Agreement, annexation, or related City approvals.

Approval of the Agreement does not itself complete the annexation. Following the City's land use actions and execution of the Agreement, the annexation application will proceed through the LAFCO process.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The annexation is expected to result in a substantial net positive fiscal impact to the City. As discussed during the July 20 public hearing, the annexation would provide the City with a new share of the property taxes generated by the existing industrial development, as well as an increase in property tax in-lieu of motor vehicle license fee revenues.

The fiscal analysis presented to the City Council estimated that, after accounting for the Contingent Annual Payments, the annexation would generate approximately $583,000 in ongoing City revenue during the first year. In the second year, the estimated revenue increases to approximately $719,000, including the annual community benefit contributions.

As the cumulative payments to I10 Logistics Owner, LLC approach the contractual cap, the City's share increases substantially. The fiscal analysis estimated a net City benefit of approximately $1.65 million in Year 14. Following satisfaction of the payment cap, the City would retain all property tax revenues otherwise subject to the Agreement, with ongoing annual net revenues anticipated to exceed $2 million based on current projections.

Exhibit B to the Agreement provides an estimated payment schedule based upon current

Page 102 of 164 ends

assumptions and illustrates the distribution of property tax revenues between the City and I10 Logistics Owner, LLC. Actual revenues and payments will depend upon assessed values, property tax collections, the timing of annexation for property tax purposes, and other factors affecting future tax receipts.

Ongoing expenditures to serve the annexed area are expected to be approximately $200,000 per year. As described above, expected revenues will far exceed these annual costs, resulting in a substantial net positive fiscal impact to the City.

In addition to ongoing revenues, the Agreement provides a $450,000 contribution toward the City's aerial ladder truck and, beginning in the second Eligibility Year and continuing until the payment cap is reached, annual contributions of $115,000 for public services and $10,000 for nonprofit organizations serving Calimesa residents.

between

THE CITY OF CALIMESA
and
I10 LOGISTICS OWNER, LLC
This 2026 ANNEXATION PROJECT AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is entered into by and between the CITY OF CALIMESA, a California municipal corporation (“City”), and I10 LOGISTICS OWNER, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Company”) as of July 20, 2026. City and Company are sometimes referred to individually in this Agreement as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties.” City and Company enter into this Agreement with reference to the following facts (“Recitals”):

RECITALS

1. Company is the previous owner of certain real property located in the unincorporated territory of the County of Riverside (“County”), as more particularly described and depicted in Exhibit “A” to this Agreement (“Property”). The Property is immediately adjacent to City’s boundaries but currently outside of its sphere of influence, as established by the County Local Agency Formation Commission (“LAFCO”) pursuant to the provisions of the CorteseKnox-Hertzberg Local Government Reorganization Act of 2000 (Government Code § 56000 et seq.).

2. The Property has been developed with industrial warehouses (“Development”), which has increased the Property Taxes generated from the Property, and Company has sold the Property, as improved with the Development, to IV1 Cherry Valley Logistics Center, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Owner”). As part of that sale, Company and Owner entered into a Limited Power of Attorney whereby Owner agrees and consents to Company undertaking activities to support City’s annexation of the Property, as described therein, and entering into an agreement with City for City to make payments to Company following the annexation of the Property into the City.

3. Pursuant to its Power of Attorney, Company has submitted a Master Land Use Entitlement Application seeking to obtain pre-zoning and other land use approvals from City that are necessary for the City to annex the property (collectively “City Applications”), which include:
(i) Annexation No. 25-1, annexation of approximately 313.4 acres of unincorporated land, consisting of the Property and approximately 79.4 acres of land immediately south of and adjacent to the Property (collectively, the “Annexation Area”); (ii) General Plan Amendment No. 25-2 (GPA-25-2), an amendment to City’s General Plan Land Use Map to include the Annexation Area and designate the land uses therein in a manner generally consistent with the existing land use designations in the County General Plan; (iii) Pre-Zoning/Zone Change No. 25-2 (ZC-25-2), an amendment of City’s Zoning Map pre zone the 313.4-acre Annexation Area in a manner consistent with GPA -25-2 and apply a Warehouse Overlay Zone (“WOZ”) to the Property; (iv) Zone Text Amendment No. 25-4 (ZTA-25-4), an amendment of City’s Municipal Code regarding uses permitted in industrial zone districts; and (v) Conditional Use Permits No. 25-4 (CUP25-4) and 25-5 (CUP-25-5) (collectively, the “City Annexation Approvals”), to allow the continued operation of the existing warehouses on the Property.

4. The Parties anticipate the Development will continue in a manner that maintains and increases the Property Taxes generated from the Property, and that City’s annexation of the Property will therefore provide significant public benefits to City through new property tax revenues, potential sales tax revenues, and new jobs generated by the business activities associated with the Development that may be used by City for the funding of necessary public services and facilities, including without limitation public safety services and facilities, as well as the additional public purpose of fostering a business and civic environment that may attract additional businesses and investment in the City due to economic activity resulting from the ongoing use of the Property.

5. In consideration of the increased local tax revenues, property taxes, employment benefits, and other tangible and intangible benefits that City expects to receive from the annexation of the Property and the City’s expectation of the continued existence of the Development in a manner that maintains and increases the real property tax revenues generated from the Property, other benefits to be provided to the City pursuant to this Agreement, and Company’s representations, warranties and promises and covenants contained herein, City finds that providing Company certain payments measured as a percentage of Property Taxes generated by the Property as described herein in exchange for annexing the Property into the City will serve a significant public purpose while providing only incidental benefits to a private party.

6. The Parties desire to enter into this Agreement in order to memorialize the Parties’ roles, promises, and obligations to each other in pursuing the potential annexation of the Property into City and implementing the covenants of the Parties.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Company must indemnify, defend, and hold harmless City and its elected officials, officers, contractors serving as City officials, agents, and employees (collectively, the “City Indemnitees”) from all liability, costs, and expenses incurred by, and/or awarded against, City or any of the Indemnitees arising from any legal action brought by any third party challenging the validity, applicability, or interpretation of any provision of this Agreement, the Annexation, or the City Annexation Approvals; provided, however, that in no event shall Company’s obligations under this Article 8 exceed Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) in the aggregate.

8.2 Prevailing Wages. Without limiting the generality of Section 8.1, Company shall also defend, indemnify, and hold the Indemnitees harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, losses, damages, costs, and expenses arising from or related to any claims that Company or Company’s contractors are required to pay prevailing wages pursuant to Labor Code section 1720 et seq., in connection with the Development of the Property as a result of this Agreement.

Company shall not permit any portion of the Contingent Annual Payments to be used for development activities or tenant improvement work on the Property.

8.3 City’s Defense. With respect to any legal action or claim falling within Company’s defense, indemnity, and hold harmless obligations, the City shall have the right, in its reasonable discretion, to select counsel of its choice and the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate in the defense. Company shall reimburse City for reasonable and documented legal fees, costs, and expenses actually incurred by City in connection with Company’s indemnity and hold harmless obligations under this Article 8 (collectively, the “Indemnified Legal Costs”). City shall provide Company with reasonably detailed invoices or billing statements supporting any Indemnified Legal Costs no less than once a month. Company shall reimburse City for all undisputed Indemnified Legal Costs within thirty (30) days of receipt of such invoice.

8.4 Survival.
(a) The Company's indemnification obligations under Sections 8.1 and 8.3 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement for four (4) years following the Effective Date (the “Survival Period”), after which such obligations shall terminate and be of no further force or effect.
(b) The Company's indemnification obligations under Section 8.2 shall survive until the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement, after which such obligations shall terminate and be of no further force or effect.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any claim for indemnification under Section

If City subsequently is provided information that Company had knowledge but failed to disclose knowledge of any such interest, and Company fails to acknowledge such interest within fourteen (14) days of notification by the City, Company’s failure shall constitute a breach of this Agreement.

TO: Mayors, Council Members, City Clerks, and City Managers RE: DESIGNATION OF VOTING DELEGATES AND ALTERNATES
League of California Cities Annual Conference and Expo, Sept. 23-25, 2026 Anaheim Convention Center
Every year, the League of California Cities convenes a member-driven General Assembly at the Cal Cities Annual Conference and Expo. The General Assembly is an important opportunity where city officials can directly participate in the development of Cal Cities policy.

Taking place on Friday, Sept. 25, 2026 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 submission portal by Tuesday, Sept. 1, 2026. 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 opens June 2.

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 Council Action Advised by September 1, 2026

Page 143 of 164 ends

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 meeting policy 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 Anaheim Convention Center, will be open at the following times: Wednesday, Sept. 23, 8:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m. and Thursday, Sept. 24, 7:30 a.m.-4:00 p.m. On Friday, Sept. 25, 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 Tuesday, Sept. 1. If you have questions, please contact Zach Seals at [email protected].

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.

How it works: Cal Cities
Resolutions and the General Assembly
General Assembly
General Resolutions Policy Committees
Developing League of California 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.

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.

Petitioned Resolutions
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.

Who’s who
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.

During the General Assembly, voting delegates
debate and consider general and petitioned
resolutions forwarded by the Resolutions
Committee. Potential Cal Cities bylaws
amendments are also considered at this meeting.

Cal Cities policy
development is a memberinformed process,
grounded in the voices and
experiences of city officials
throughout the state.

For more information visit www.calcities.org/general-assembly Prior to the Annual Conference and Expo
Resolutions Committee
The Resolutions
Committee considers
all resolutions. General
Resolutions approved1 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
During the Annual Conference and Expo
1 The Resolution Committee can amend a general resolution prior to sending it to the General Assembly. 2 Petitioned Resolutions may be disqualified by the Resolutions Committee according to Cal Cities Bylaws Article VI. Sec. 5(f).

CITY COUNCIL MEETING
Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 15.

SUBJECT: Consideration of Rejoining the Yucaipa Sustainable Groundwater Management Agency
MEETING DATE: August 17, 2026
PREPARED BY: Will Kolbow, City Manager
RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council receive this report, discuss the potential benefits, costs, and limitations associated with rejoining the Yucaipa Sustainable Groundwater Management Agency, and provide direction to staff.

BACKGROUND:

At the June 15, 2026 City Council meeting, Councilmember Cundieff requested that staff evaluate the merits of the City rejoining the Yucaipa Sustainable Groundwater Management Agency ("Yucaipa SGMA") and return the matter to the City Council for discussion.

The Sustainable Groundwater Management Act ("SGMA") was enacted by the State of California in 2014 to establish a framework for the sustainable management of groundwater resources. Among other requirements, SGMA requires designated medium- and high-priority groundwater basins to be managed pursuant to a Groundwater Sustainability Plan ("GSP") administered by one or more Groundwater Sustainability Agencies ("GSA").

The Yucaipa Subbasin encompasses portions of the cities of Calimesa, Yucaipa, and Redlands, as well as portions of unincorporated Riverside and San Bernardino counties. The basin is designated by the California Department of Water Resources as a high-priority basin, although it is not designated as critically overdrafted. The Yucaipa GSP was adopted in January 2022 and subsequently approved by the California Department of Water Resources in January 2024.

City's Original Participation
On June 5, 2017, the City Council approved a Memorandum of Agreement forming the Yucaipa GSA. The original participating agencies included the cities of Calimesa, Redlands, and Yucaipa; South Mesa Water Company, South Mountain Water Company, Western Heights Water Company, and Yucaipa Valley Water District; San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District; and San Gorgonio Pass Water Agency.

At the time, the primary reason identified for City participation was to maintain local management of the Yucaipa Subbasin and provide complete GSA coverage of the basin.

Because the City is not a water purveyor, City staff expressed concern regarding the potential cost of participation. South Mesa Water Company agreed to reimburse the City's share of costs associated with formation of the GSA, with future costs to be reconsidered as the GSA transitioned from formation to preparation and implementation of the GSP.

The original cost-sharing structure provided that the water purveyors would collectively be responsible for 75 percent of GSA costs, while the municipalities and regional water agencies would collectively be responsible for the remaining 25 percent.

City's Withdrawal
In October 2018, the City provided notice of its intent to withdraw from the Yucaipa GSA. The City's withdrawal was principally based upon concerns regarding costs and GSA governance.

The withdrawal letter noted that Calimesa was the smallest municipality participating in the GSA and had limited financial resources available for groundwater-management activities. The City also expressed concern regarding the process used to select the consultant responsible for preparation of the GSP, including a substantial difference between competing consultant proposals and the Board's decision not to further evaluate the lower-cost proposal.

Following the meet-and-confer process required by the MOA, the City Council confirmed its withdrawal in November 2018.

The Yucaipa GSA continued following Calimesa's withdrawal and ultimately prepared and adopted the GSP without the City as a voting member.

DISCUSSION:

The voting membership has changed since the City's withdrawal. The current Yucaipa SGMA consists of the following participating agencies:
• South Mesa Water Company
• South Mountain Water Company
• Western Heights Water Company
• Yucaipa Valley Water District
• City of Yucaipa
• San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District
• San Gorgonio Pass Water Agency.

The City of Redlands withdrew from the Yucaipa GSA in 2024. Calimesa and Redlands are currently identified as regional stakeholders rather than participating Board members.

Potential Reasons for Rejoining
South Mesa Water Company has encouraged the City to consider rejoining the Yucaipa GSA.

South Mesa has identified several potential benefits associated with City participation.

Most significantly, participation would provide Calimesa with a formal vote in GSA decisions affecting long-term management of the Yucaipa Subbasin. Issues considered by the GSA include groundwater production and monitoring, groundwater recharge, groundwater-storage accounting, management actions, infrastructure, and periodic revisions to the GSP.

There is also a direct relationship between groundwater management and municipal land-use planning. SGMA requires groundwater sustainability plans to consider the most recent planning assumptions contained within the General Plans of jurisdictions overlying a basin. GSPs must also describe the consideration given to applicable city and county General Plans and evaluate how the GSP may affect those plans.

As Calimesa continues to develop, projections concerning population, land use, water demand, recharge, and infrastructure within the City will become increasingly relevant to basin planning.

Membership could provide the City with an earlier and more direct role in developing those assumptions and evaluating proposed groundwater-management policies.

City facilities and infrastructure can also affect groundwater conditions. Stormwater facilities, recharge basins, parks, open space, and public rights-of-way may provide opportunities for groundwater recharge or affect implementation of future basin-management projects. The GSP already identifies groundwater recharge and expanded monitoring as important components of long-term basin management.

South Mesa has also indicated that an additional municipal participant could provide another land-use perspective during discussions regarding consultant expenditures, groundwaterstorage policies, recharge projects, growth assumptions, and other governance matters.

Limitations of Participation
Rejoining the GSA would not provide the City with authority over the operations of individual water purveyors.

The City would not obtain authority over retail water rates, water connection charges, recycledwater charges, service-area boundaries, or the timing or availability of sewer service provided by another agency. Those matters remain within the legal authority of the individual water and wastewater agencies.

Similarly, GSA participation would not itself guarantee water availability for a particular development or resolve disputes concerning extension of water service outside an existing service territory.

It is also important to distinguish between participation in the GSA and the City's existing landPage 149 of 164 use authority. SGMA does not supersede the land-use authority of cities and counties, and the GSP is required to consider Calimesa's General Plan assumptions regardless of whether the City is a voting member of the GSA. Accordingly, the principal additional benefit of membership would be direct participation and voting authority in GSA governance rather than preservation of the City's underlying land-use authority.

Cost of Participation
Cost was one of the principal reasons for the City's withdrawal in 2018 and remains an important consideration in evaluating whether to rejoin.

The cost-sharing methodology established by the GSA allocates 75 percent of applicable costs to the four water purveyors and 25 percent to the municipalities and regional water agencies.

When the GSP was adopted in 2022, the GSA estimated annual implementation costs at approximately $170,000. Based upon the membership at that time, each municipality and regional agency was estimated to contribute approximately $10,625 annually. That amount consisted of approximately $6,250 for administrative functions paid at the beginning of the year and up to approximately $4,375 for monitoring and data-collection activities as costs were incurred. The GSP expressly provides that these figures are estimates and are subject to annual adjustment based upon actual activities and expenses.

Following Redlands' withdrawal, the 25 percent non-purveyor share is currently divided among the City of Yucaipa, San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District, and San Gorgonio Pass Water Agency. A 2025 staff report from San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District demonstrates the current allocation. The GSA approved a $149,670 contract for the first required periodic evaluation of the GSP, and Valley District's share was identified as approximately 8.3 percent, or $12,473.

If Calimesa were admitted under the same allocation methodology, the 25 percent municipality/regional share would again be divided among four agencies, resulting in an approximate 6.25 percent allocation to each. As an illustration, 6.25 percent of the current $149,670 periodic-evaluation contract would be approximately $9,354.

Based upon the original $170,000 annual GSP implementation estimate, a 6.25 percent share would equal approximately $10,625 annually. Actual annual costs could be higher or lower depending upon consultant work, monitoring activities, special studies, litigation or legal services, policy development, and other activities authorized by the GSA.

Before the City formally rejoins, staff would recommend obtaining written confirmation from the Yucaipa GSA concerning the City's specific cost allocation, the effective date of any financial obligation, whether the City could be responsible for costs previously authorized but not yet incurred, and how extraordinary studies or projects are allocated among members.

Participation would also require City staff time to review materials and attend GSA meetings

Page 150 of 164 ends

and workshops.

Current Basin Activities
The GSA has moved considerably beyond the initial preparation of the GSP that was underway when Calimesa withdrew.

The GSP is now in its implementation phase and requires annual reporting to the State as well as a comprehensive periodic evaluation every five years. The first periodic evaluation is currently underway and is expected to be submitted to the Department of Water Resources in January 2027.

Current and emerging issues include groundwater monitoring, groundwater recharge, imported-water storage and accounting, private well monitoring, groundwater-storage policies, data-management systems, and implementation of projects intended to improve long-term basin sustainability.

Some of those issues have a direct geographic connection to Calimesa. The Yucaipa Subbasin underlies portions of the City, and regional agencies are pursuing groundwater recharge projects within the Calimesa area. The increasing use of imported State Water Project water for groundwater recharge may make policies governing recharge, storage accounting, and future groundwater use increasingly significant to the City and its water providers.

Policy Considerations
Whether City membership provides sufficient value is ultimately a policy determination for the City Council.

Potential advantages include a formal vote in basin-management decisions, direct participation in long-term groundwater and recharge policy, closer coordination between groundwater planning and City land-use planning, and an additional opportunity to advocate for costeffective GSA administration.

Potential disadvantages include annual and potentially variable financial contributions, additional staff involvement, and the fact that several issues of particular importance to development in Calimesa, including retail water rates, connection charges, service boundaries, recycled-water requirements, and sewer availability, are outside the GSA's authority.

The circumstances have also changed since the City withdrew in 2018. The GSP has now been completed and approved by the State, reducing some of the uncertainty that existed during the expensive plan-development phase. At the same time, implementation of the GSP involves continuing annual expenses, periodic evaluations, monitoring, special studies, and policy decisions that may create variable costs over time.

Conversely, the City is not presently excluded from the groundwater-planning process altogether. SGMA requires consideration of Calimesa's General Plan and provides mechanisms

Page 151 of 164 ends

for involvement by interested parties and overlying jurisdictions. Membership would primarily change the City's role from that of an interested land-use agency and regional stakeholder to a formal participant with voting authority and financial responsibility.

Staff has therefore presented the potential benefits, costs, and limitations of membership without recommending whether the City should or should not rejoin. Following Council discussion, staff can return with any agreements or other actions necessary to implement the Council's direction.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no financial impact associated with receiving this report and providing direction to staff.

If the City Council directs staff to pursue membership in the Yucaipa SGMA, the City would assume a share of GSA operating and implementation expenses. Based upon the existing costsharing methodology and currently available information, staff estimates that the City's baseline participation cost could be approximately $10,000 to $12,000 annually, although actual costs would vary based upon the GSA's annual work program and special studies.

The 2022 GSP estimated approximately $170,000 in annual implementation costs. Under a four-agency division of the 25 percent municipality/regional allocation, Calimesa's estimated share would be approximately $10,625. The GSA is also currently undertaking a $149,670 periodic GSP evaluation; a 6.25 percent share of that expenditure would equal approximately $9,354.

Prior to any formal action to rejoin, staff would confirm the applicable cost-sharing methodology and obtain an estimate of the City's anticipated current-year and future obligations.

STAFF REPORT

CITY OF CALIMESA

CITY COUNCIL MEETING
SUBJECT: MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT FOR THE FORMATION OF A

GROUNDWATER SUSTAINABILITY AGENCY FOR THE
YUCAIPA SUB-BASIN NO. 8-02.07
MEETING DATE: June 5, 2017
PRESENTED BY: Bonnie Johnson, City Manager
RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully recommended that the City Council take the following actions:

1. Approval of Resolution 2017-14, a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Calimesa approving a Memorandum of Agreement for the Formation of a Groundwater Sustainability Agency for the Yucaipa Sub-basin No. 8-02.07

2. Approval of a Memorandum of Agreement for Reimbursement of Fees and Expenses Incurred in Forming a Groundwater Sustainability Agency for the Yucaipa Sub-basin (Sub-Basin No. 8-02.07)
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION: On September 16, 2014, the Governor signed into law a three-bill legislative package, Assembly Bill (AB) 1739 (Dickinson), Senate Bill (SB) 1168 (Pavley), and SB 1319 (Pavley). Several additional bills signed by the Governor of California in 2015 amended the 2014 laws. These included SB 13 (Pavley), AB 939 (Salas), SB 226 (Pavley), and AB 617 (Perea). All of these laws are collectively known as the Sustainability Groundwater Management Act (SGMA). SGMA defines sustainable groundwater management as the “management and use of groundwater in a manner that can be maintained during the planning and implementation horizon without causing undesirable results”.
“Undesirable results” are defined in SGMA and are summarized below as any of the following effects caused by groundwater conditions:
a. Chronic lowering of groundwater levels indicating a significant and unreasonable depletion of supply,
b. Significant and unreasonable reduction of groundwater storage, c. Significant and unreasonable seawater intrusion,
d. Significant and unreasonable degraded water quality, e. Significant and unreasonable land subsidence, and
f. Depletions of interconnected surface water that have significant and unreasonable adverse impacts on beneficial uses of the surface water.

Page 153 of 164 ends

SGMA provides for the following:
a. Requires critically-overdrafted high and medium priority basins to be managed under a Groundwater Sustainability Plan (GSP) by January 31, 2020.
b. Requires all other groundwater basins designated as high or medium priority basins to be managed under a GSP by January 31, 2022. c. Adjudicated basins are not required to develop GSPs, but they are required to submit annual reports to the California Department of Water Resources (CDWR) beginning April 1, 2016.
d. Local agencies have the option of submitting an alternative plan by January 1, 2017.
e. Gives GSA’s the financial and enforcement authority to carry out effective local sustainable groundwater management.

SGMA also expands the role of California Department of Water Resources (CDWR) to support local implementation of sustainable groundwater management, but allows for intervention by the State Water Resources Control Board at discrete points throughout the process if local agencies are not willing or able to manage groundwater sustainably. In other words, if local agencies do not work together, CDWR would manage the local basin their behalf. This is a key point. If the entire basin is not covered by the agencies, management will default to the CDWR and the Yucaipa Sub-Basin will be designated a “Probationary Basin”; hence, loss of local control.

SGMA also requires the formation of GSA’s in order to manage groundwater at the local level. GSA’s must be formed by June 30, 2017. A GSA is responsible for developing and implementing a GSP to meet the sustainability goal of the basin to ensure that it is operated within its sustainable yield, without causing undesirable results. Local agencies are expected to collaborate and coordinate their GSA formations on a basin-wide scale to sustainably manage groundwater at a local level. A local agency that decides to become a GSA, or party to a GSA, will be required to perform the duties, and exercise the necessary powers, of a GSA when developing, implementing, and enforcing a basin's groundwater sustainability program.

Therefore, the City of Calimesa, the City of Redlands and the City of Yucaipa, South Mesa Water Company, South Mountain Water Company, Western Heights Water Company, Yucaipa Valley Water District, the San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District and the San Gorgonio Pass Water Agency are taking the steps to form the required GSA for the management of the Yucaipa Sub-Basin.

Yucaipa Valley Water District (YVWD) and South Mesa Water Company (SMWC) have primary sources of water supplies within the Yucaipa Sub-Basin. The Yucaipa Sub-Basin is a medium priority basin and is subject to SGMA while the Beaumont Basin, much lesser depended upon for City water supplies by YVWD and SMWC, is adjudicated and is not subject to SGMA and development of a GSP.

The County of Riverside has indicated that it will not be voting party in the GSA; but will be a Stakeholder. Thus, in order to cover the entirety of the Yucaipa SubBasin, the City, along with the Cities of Yucaipa and Redlands, as well as San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District and San Gorgonio Pass Water Agency, must participate as GSA Members so that the entire Yucaipa Sub-Basin is covered

Page 154 of 164 ends

under the MOA in compliance with SGMA requirements. As noted above, if the entire basin is not covered by the agencies, management will default to the State and the Yucaipa Sub-Basin will be designated a “Probationary Basin.” GSA Members will have voting rights and will assume GSP preparation, implementation, and reporting responsibilities including administrative, legal and engineering costs. However, because the City is not a water purveyor, but recognizes the importance of participation in order to maintain local control of the water supply, the City staff agreed to participate in meetings to this point, but expressed concern about the potential costs associated with the process. As a result, SMWC agreed to pay Calimesa’s costs associated with the creation of the GSA. Calimesa would continue to pay staff and attorney costs and SMWC would pay Calimesa’s share of any other cost associated with “creation” of the Yucaipa Sub-basin GSA. At such time, the activities of the GSA move beyond GSA creation, cost sharing obligations will once again be considered by the GSA members. Costs at this initial stage are expected to be minimal. In addition, Calimesa would remain responsible for any future staff costs associated with administration of the GSA.

It should be noted that the City Attorney’s Office did not review the MOA document.

Inasmuch as Richards, Watson & Gershon (RWG) represents both the City of Calimesa and the City of Yucaipa, the City of Calimesa used an outside firm to review the MOA document. Any subsequent agreements would be reviewed by our City Attorney’s Office. However, RWG did review the reimbursement agreement with SMWC.

Please note that Exhibit A to the MOA – a map of The Basin is currently being finalized. Draft maps will be provided at the Public Hearing.

In summary, staff is recommending approval of the MOA forming the GSA, as well as the expense reimbursement agreement with SMWC.

FINANCIAL IMPACT: No additional appropriation requested. All staff costs, Attorney fees and City Engineering fees will be absorbed in the current budget. Although Paragraph VII, Funding and Budgeting, of the MOA requires Water Purveyors to collectively bear 75% of the cost of creation and administration of the GSA, and the Municipalities and Regionals to collectively bear 25% of the cost, with the approval of the expense reimbursement agreement with SMWC, Calimesa’s costs for creation of this MOA will be reimbursed. Any future costs will be brought forward to the City Council once they are known. Costs associated with the development and implementation of the GSP are anticipated to be paid primarily by water purveyors and/or regional agencies; but not the cities.

Yucaipa, Ca. 92399
Re: NOTICE OF WITHDRAWAL OF THE CITY OF CALIMESA FROM YUCAIPA-GSA Dear CHAIRMAN IVERSON AND MEMBERS OF THE YUCAIPA-GSA.

In accord with the requirements of the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act ("SGMA") as set forth in California Government Code§§ 65350.5 et seq. and California Water Code§§ 1070 et seq., on June 5, 2017, the City Council of the City of Calimesa approved a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) to form a Groundwater Sustainability Agency (GSA) for the Yucaipa SubBasin (Sub-Basin No. 8-02.07)("Yucaipa-GSA"). Members of the GSA include the City of Calimesa ("CALIMESA"), the City of Redlands ("REDLANDS") and the City of Yucaipa ("YUCAIPA"), collectively referred to as the "MUNICIPALITIES" and; South Mesa Water Company ("SOUTH MESA"), South Mountain Water Company ("SOUTH MOUNTAIN"),Western Heights Water Company ("WESTERN HEIGHTS") and Yucaipa Valley Water District ("YVWD"), collectively referred to as the "WATER PURVEYORS"; and, the San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District ("SAN BERNARDINO VALLEY MUNICIPAL") and the San Gorgonio Pass Water Agency ("SAN GORGONIO"), collectively referred to as the "REGIONALS".

Section IX. B. of the MOA provides that any Party may decide, in its sole discretion, to withdraw from the MOA by providing ninety (90) days written notice to the other Parties.

This NOTICE constitutes CALIMESA's written statement of its intention to withdrawal from the MOA effective 90 days from the date of this NOTICE.

CALIMESA has struggled from the beginning with being a member of the GSA. It was represented to CALIMESA early on, that if CALIMESA was not a full voting member of the GSA, control of the Yucaipa Sub-Basin would revert to the State. Because CALIMESA understands

Page 156 of 164 ends

GSA Notice of Withdrawal, Page 2
and recognizes the importance of local control over water resources, CALIMESA agreed to join the GSA. However, CALIMESA, throughout the formation process and since, has consistently expressed its concern regarding the various costs that will be incurred by Yucaipa-GSA.

CALIMESA is by far the smallest MUNICIPALITY in the GSA and simply does not have the same financial resources as others in the GSA do. In addition, CALIMESA is frustrated with the apparent lack of due diligence exercised on behalf of the majority of the members when selecting the consultant to Develop the Groundwater Sustainability Plan (GSP).

On August 29, 2018, the GSA recommended contracting with Dudek in the amount of$814,500 for the Development of a GSP. It should be noted that Dudek's original proposal was $1,180,480 but was reduced by $365,980 through subsequent conversations with Dudek. However, the lowest qualified cost proposal was submitted by Todd Groundwater with a projected cost of $477,514.

SOUTH MESA and CALIMESA both requested that Todd Groundwater be contacted again to ascertain why there was such a discrepancy in costs between the two proposals. The GSA Board voted down the request to contact Todd Groundwater. There would have been no cost in following up with the lowest qualified cost consultant. It may have permitted full compliance with the SGMA and saved all members a substantial amount of money in the end.

In light of these concerns and the limited financial resources available to CALIMESA for purposes of groundwater management, CALIMESA submits this written statement of withdrawal from the GSA. Under the provisions of the MOA, withdrawal by CALIMESA will "not cause or require the termination of [the] MOA or the existence of the YUCAIPA-GSA with respect to the nonwithdrawing Parties." CALIMESA understands the requirement set forth in Section IX. B of the MOA to meet and confer with YUCAIPA-GSA as to various alternatives and options available to CALIMESA to fully comply with the requirements of SGMA during the 90-day notice period.

CALIMESA is amenable to meet and confer as required and complete all statutory requirements to assure compliance.

STAFF REPORT

CITY OF CALIMESA

CITY COUNCIL MEETING
SUBJECT: Groundwater Sustainability Agency Members’ Request for Confirmation of the Notice of Withdrawal from the Groundwater Sustainability Agency for the Yucaipa Sub-Basin No. 8-02.07 MEETING DATE: November 19, 2018
PRESENTED BY: Bonnie Johnson, City Manager
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council confirm the Notice of Withdrawal from the Groundwater Sustainability Agency for the Yucaipa Sub-Basin No. 8-02.07 and authorize the Mayor to execute the letter of confirmation.

BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION: On June 5, 2017, the City Council approved a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) for the Formation of a Groundwater Sustainability Agency (GSA) for the Yucaipa Sub-Basin No. 8-02.07. As explained in more detail in the Notice of Withdrawal dated October 2, 2018, the City of Calimesa, throughout the formation process and since, has consistently expressed its concern regarding the costs. As a result, the City Council directed staff to serve the GSA Board with a Notice of Withdrawal. The notice is attached to this report for reference.

Pursuant to Section IX.B of the MOA, City staff attended the November 14, 2018 meeting of the GSA Board where the meet and confer process was conducted in accordance with MOA Section IX.B. In addition, the GSA Board voted to “acknowledge” receipt of the Notice of Withdrawal but requested an Open Session confirmation of that action.

The attached letter confirms the City Council’s prior direction to staff. Staff is recommending the letter be executed by the Mayor and delivered to GSA Board Chairman with a copy to the GSA Board Vice Chairman.

FINANCIAL IMPACT: None

CITY COUNCIL MEETING
Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 16.

SUBJECT: Review of the current City Commissions and possible future amendments to the Calimesa Municipal Code.

MEETING DATE: August 17, 2026
PREPARED BY: Darlene Gerdes, Deputy City Manager/City Clerk RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council provide direction to staff, regarding any potential adjustments to City Commissions.

BACKGROUND:

Periodically, staff provides a report to the City Council regarding its City Commissions and Boards. Prior reviews were completed and a history of the actions taken is as follows:
2013/2014: At the time of this review there were seven (7) city commissions and boards as follows: Housing Advisory Appeals Board, Mobile Home Rent Stabilization Board, Public Works and Safety Commission, Library Commission, Planning Commission, Community Services Commission and the Trails, Open Space and Beautification Commission.

By Council action, the Housing Advisory Appeals Board was eliminated. The Planning Commission and Mobile Home Rent Stabilization Board remained as created. The Library Commission remained with amendments to their duties adding fundraising and possible subcommittees due to the dissolution of the Calimesa Friends of the Library. There were no changes to the Community Services Commission. The Public Works and Safety Commission was dissolved and the Trails, Open Space and Beautification Commission was dissolved and placed as a standing advisory committee under the Planning Commission, keeping the current appointed members in place.
2015: Ordinance No, 333 was adopted amending the code to revise the process of City Council appointments of Commissioners, adding a time period in which each City Council Member shall make his or her respective appointments. The amendment required that an appointment be made by each City Council Member within 60 days of the date the City received a complete application that is filed after the vacancy has occurred. If an appointment is not made within the 60 day period, the nomination may be made by any member of the City Council and

Page 160 of 164 ends

approved by a majority vote of the Council.
2020: Ordinance No. 371 was adopted amending the code, adding the duties of the Trails, Open Space and Beautification standing committee to the Community Services Commission and amending the Commission name to be called the Parks, Trails and Community Services Commission and removing the Trails, Open Space and Beautification as a standing committee of the Planning Commission.
2025: By Council action, the Mobile Home Rent Stabilization Board was dissolved and replaced with a Hearing Officer process for petitions submitted under the Mobile Home Rent Stabilization program adopted as Chapter 9.05 of the Calimesa Municipal Code.

Appointments to the Commissions: City commissions consist of five members. Each city council member shall appoint one person to each city commission, which appointment shall not become effective until ratified by a majority vote of the city council. Each city council member shall make his or her appointment within 60 days of the date the city has received a complete application that is filed after the vacancy has occurred and is from an applicant who meets the minimum standards set by this code for the position. In the event the appointing city council member does not make his or her appointment within that 60-day time period, the nomination may be made by any member of the city council and approved with a majority vote of the city council.

The person appointed shall be a resident of the city, shall act solely in the public interest, and shall serve for the term (or remainder thereof) of the city council member who appointed the commissioner or for the unexpired term of a former incumbent commissioner. The person appointed shall serve at the pleasure of the city council and may be removed without cause either: (A) at the request of the appointing city council member and with the majority vote of the city council; (B) at the request of a city council member other than the appointing city council member and with a four-fifths vote of the city council; or (C) at the request of any member of the city council and with a majority vote of the city council if the person was appointed to the position by the city council rather than an individual council member. In the event the appointing council member does not complete his or her term of office, his or her replacement may remove any commissioner appointed by his or her predecessor without cause and without the approval of the city council. Appointments to fill the seat of a commissioner who has been removed from a commission shall not become effective until ratified by the majority vote of the city council.

Meeting dates and times: The Library Commission meets on a bi-monthly basis the months of February, April, June, August, October and December on the first Tuesday of each of those months at 4:30 p.m. The Parks, Trails and Community Services Commission meets the first Wednesday of each month at 4:30 p.m. The Planning Commission meets the second Monday of each month at 6:00 p.m. and from time to time may have a special meeting the fourth Monday of each month at 6:00 p.m.

Page 161 of 164 ends

Commissions duties are as follows:

Library Commission:

The Library Commission is responsible for recommending policies and procedures to the City Council for the administration, operation, development and improvement of library facilities and programs (established by Municipal Code Chapter 2.30).

Parks, Trails & Community Services Commission:

The Parks, Trails and Community Services Commission is responsible for recommending policies and procedures to the City Council for the administration, operation, development, improvement, and maintenance of community facilities, including parks, trails, recreation facilities, and park and recreation programs. This Commission also serves as the Historical Commission and meets in that capacity on an as-needed basis (established by Municipal Code Chapter 2.25)
Planning Commission:
• Preparing, periodically reviewing, and revising the General Plan (PDF) as necessary; • Implementing the General Plan through actions including the administration of specific plans, zoning, and subdivision ordinances;
• Annually reviewing the capital improvement plan of the City and the local public works projects of other local agencies for their consistency with the General Plan; • Endeavoring to promote public interest in, comment on, and understanding of the General Plan and regulations to it;
• Consult and advise with public officials and agencies, public utility companies, civic, educational, professional, and other organizations, and citizens generally concerning implementation of the General Plan;
• Promoting the coordination of local plans and programs with the plans and programs of other public agencies;
• Performing such other functions as are required by the Planning and Zoning Law and as may be provided by the City Council, including conducting studies and preparing plans other than those required or authorized by the Planning and Zoning Law (established by Municipal Code Chapter 2.45).

DISCUSSION:

Library Commission: With the completion of the new library building, the duties of the Library Commission will need review and may result in necessary amendments. The current Library Commission members have expressed an interest in serving as a city historical commission, responsible for compiling city history and working to create the City’s historical museum.
