The total cost of the system, including installation, is $16,782.50, which is within the City Manager's spending authority.

ITEM NO. 4
CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Arron Brown, City Manager
BY: Jim Rayls, Chief of Police
DATE: 04/14/2026
SUBJECT: Consideration of a PSEC Use Agreement with the County of Riverside for Public Safety Enterprise Communication System (PSEC) Radio Services
Recommendation:
Approve the PSEC Use Agreement between the City of Canyon Lake and the County of Riverside for use of the Public Safety Enterprise Communication System (PSEC) and authorize the City Manager to execute the Agreement.
Background/Analysis:
The City of Canyon Lake is preparing for the City's Police Department to become operational and must establish the necessary public safety radio communications to support police services and interagency communication with other public safety agencies within Riverside County. The County of Riverside Public Safety Enterprise Communication System (PSEC) is the regional public safety radio communication system used by law enforcement, fire, and other public safety agencies throughout Riverside County. Participation in the PSEC system will allow the City to communicate with these agencies.
The County of Riverside owns, operates, and maintains the PSEC system and is the sole entity authorized to provide access to and licensing for use of the system. Accordingly, participation in the County's PSEC system is the only feasible option at this time for the City to obtain access to a regional public safety radio communication system.
Under the proposed Agreement, the County grants the City a limited license to access and use the PSEC system for City radio communications. The Agreement term runs through June 30, 2031, with an option for a five-year renewal. The County will maintain the radio system infrastructure, and the City will pay monthly subscriber fees based on the number of radios using the system.
Approval of this Agreement will allow the City to establish the communication infrastructure necessary for the City's Police Department operations and communication with other regional public safety agencies.
Fiscal Impact Yes/No:Yes
Additional Fiscal Information:
The Agreement requires the City to pay monthly subscriber fees based on the number of radios utilizing the system. The City will initially participate with twenty-four (24) City-owned subscriber units, all classified as Full Time users. These costs estimated at $65,000 will be included in the City's annual operating budget for communications and public safety operations. -32- City Council Agenda

City of Canyon Lake
-34- City Council Agenda
PSEC FULL TIME and/or EMERGENCY USER AGREEMENT: City of Canyon Lake 2 PSEC USE AGREEMENT FOR Full Time and/or EMERGENCY RADIO USE This PSEC Use Agreement for Full Time and/or Emergency Radio Use (“Agreement”) is made and entered into as of July 1, 2026 by and between the County of Riverside, a political subdivision of the State of California (“COUNTY”), and the City of Canyon Lake (“AGENCY”), collectively referred to herein as the “Parties.”
RECITALS
WHEREAS, COUNTY operates, manages and maintains the Public Safety Enterprise Communication System (“PSEC System”) and all infrastructure equipment utilized to support “subscribers” on the PSEC System; Maintenance of subscriber equipment i.e. consoles, handheld radios, mobile radios, cellular devices are not part of the subscriber monthly rate. If AGENCY chooses to utilize PSEC for maintenance, AGENCY will be required to enter into a separate agreement; and
WHEREAS, AGENCY desires to use the PSEC System, in compliance with the terms of this Agreement and without hindering the functionality or operation of the PSEC System; and WHEREAS, COUNTY is willing to grant AGENCY a limited license to access and use the PSEC System;
NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, COUNTY and AGENCY agree as follows:
I. Use Granted
Subject to and conditioned on AGENCY’s payment of the fees and compliance and performance in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, COUNTY grants to AGENCY and AGENCY hereby accepts a limited, nonexclusive, nontransferable, and non-assignable license (mobile or portable radios or dispatch console or cellular device) to access and use, solely during the terms, as defined in Exhibit C, Statement of Work, which is attached and incorporated herein by this reference, the PSEC System, at COUNTY’s sole and absolute discretion. Subject to COUNTY’s approval, AGENCY may choose to add additional subscribers to the system.
Additional subscribers may impact the system’s capacity thereby requiring the system to be expanded. Any system expansion costs incurred to support the additional subscribers will be billed to the AGENCY.
The County of Riverside Board of Supervisors (the “Board”) retains ultimate legal and financial authority over the PSEC System; however, the Board, through the PSEC Charter, has delegated administrative, operational, and financial control to the PSEC Steering Committee. The PSEC Steering Committee provides governance and financial accountability. AGENCY agrees and acknowledges that AGENCY shall always comply with the terms of this Agreement and never hinder the functionality or operation of the PSEC System. Users of the PSEC System will abide by the direction/guidance provided by the PSEC Steering Committee, provided such direction does not conflict with the AGENCY’S operational requirements or applicable law. -35- City Council Agenda
PSEC FULL TIME and/or EMERGENCY USER AGREEMENT: City of Canyon Lake 3 Supervision over the provision of COUNTY services, the standards of performance, and other matters incident to the performance of such services, shall remain with the COUNTY at all times.

II. Period of Performance
The term of this Agreement shall commence upon execution by both Parties and expire on June 30, 2031 (the “Initial Term”), unless earlier terminated. This Agreement may be renewed in writing in one (1) five-year increment (“Renewal Term”) upon mutual written agreement of both parties and is subject to approval by the COUNTY’s Board of Supervisors. The rates payable by AGENCY during a Renewal Term are defined in Section III of this Agreement.
III. Payment
PSEC System rates shall be reviewed and approved annually by the Board, with changes taking effect automatically on July 1 of each year. On July 1 of every year, the rates for PSEC System use and maintenance under this Agreement shall automatically adjust based upon these new rates, in accordance with Riverside County PSEC Rate Guide, which is attached as Exhibit A of this Agreement and incorporated herein by this reference.
COUNTY shall invoice AGENCY each month for AGENCY’s use of the PSEC System. Payment shall be due on the first day of each calendar month during the term of this Agreement. In the event AGENCY fails to make its monthly payment within thirty (30) days after the due date, a non-refundable late fee of three hundred dollars ($300.00) shall apply, unless such failure is due to a good faith dispute regarding the invoice amount.
IV. Termination
Termination by COUNTY: COUNTY may terminate this Agreement without cause upon one hundred eighty (180) days written notice served upon AGENCY stating the extent and effective date of termination. Further, COUNTY shall have the right to immediately terminate this Agreement if AGENCY: files for voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy for the adjudication of Agency as a debtor; makes a general assignment, or AGENCY’s interest hereunder is assigned involuntarily or by operation of law, for the benefit of creditors; fails to comply with the terms of this Agreement; or fails to comply with applicable law. AGENCY shall have thirty (30) days to cure any default, to the satisfaction of COUNTY, AGENCY’s breach or default under this Agreement after written notice from the COUNTY.
Termination by AGENCY: This Agreement may be terminated by AGENCY without cause, provided that AGENCY has given at least ninety (90) days’ prior written notice. Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement, all rights, licenses, consents and authorizations granted by COUNTY to AGENCY shall immediately terminate, and COUNTY may disable all access to the PSEC System. -36- City Council Agenda
PSEC FULL TIME and/or EMERGENCY USER AGREEMENT: City of Canyon Lake 4 V. Restrictions
The Use granted herein is for AGENCY, and AGENCY only. AGENCY shall not permit any other individual or entity access to or use of the license except as expressly permitted in this Agreement. Specifically, AGENCY shall not:
A. Enter into a separate agreement that provides any third-party access to the PSEC Radio System; B. Rent, lease, lend, sell, sublicense, assign, distribute, publish, transfer, or make available in any manner or form any part of this license, or access to and/or use of the PSEC System; C. Access or use the PSEC System in any manner, or for any purpose that infringes, misappropriates or otherwise violates any intellectual property right or other right of any third party (including by any unauthorized access to, misappropriation, use, alteration, destruction or disclosure of any information obtained through the PSEC System), or that violates any applicable law; D. Bypass any security device or protection used to access the PSEC System, or access the PSEC System through any means other than by valid access credentials; E.

VI. Indemnification
AGENCY shall indemnify and hold harmless the County of Riverside, its Agencies, Districts, Special Districts and Departments, their respective directors, officers, PSEC Steering Committee, Board of Supervisors, elected and appointed officials, employees, agents, and representatives (individually and collectively hereinafter referred to as “Indemnitees”) from any liability, action, claim, or damage whatsoever, based or asserted upon any access and/or use of the PSEC System by AGENCY, its officers, employees, subcontractors, agents, or representatives arising out of or in any way relating to this Agreement, including but not limited to property damage, bodily injury, death, infringement of intellectual property rights, misuse of the cloud based applications, or any other element of any kind or nature. AGENCY shall defend the Indemnitees at its sole expense including all costs and fees (including, but not limited, to attorney fees, cost of investigation, defense and settlements or awards) in any claim or action based upon such acts, omissions, or services.

PSEC FULL TIME and/or EMERGENCY USER AGREEMENT: City of Canyon Lake 5 or compromise any such action or claim without the prior consent of the County of Riverside; provided, however, that any such adjustment, settlement or compromise in no manner whatsoever limits or circumscribes AGENCY’s indemnification to Indemnitees as set forth herein.
VII. Coverage Performance
The PSEC System provides extensive and robust coverage across Riverside County. However, due to the nature of radio systems (i.e. variation in geography, location in relation to PSEC radio sites, time dependent obstructions, radio performance and many other factors) coverage shall not be guaranteed for every location within the County. Coverage performance also cannot be guaranteed within buildings. AGENCY must perform radio tests of the system to verify their coverage needs prior to onboarding onto the system. By onboarding onto the PSEC System, AGENCY chooses to accept the PSEC Radio System coverage as-is. If coverage expansion is requested by the AGENCY, any associated costs will be at the AGENCY’s expense.
AGENCY subscribers using cellular devices on the Critical Connect System are subject to cellular coverage provided by a third-party cellular network provider. PSEC is not responsible for the coverage area or any outage due to the third-party cellular coverage.
VIII. Critical Connect System
The Critical Connect System is a cloud-based application, WAVE Mobile Communicator, provided by Motorola Solutions which turns your cellular device into a broadband push-to-talk device to communicate with other users of the PSEC System. The Critical Connect System is dependent on the user’s third-party cellular network connection and coverage is not guaranteed by PSEC.
PSEC does not recommend Critical Connect as the only form of communications for AGENCY and does not recommend Critical Connect for field level responders.
IX. Cloud Based Applications
Motorola Critical Connect is the only Cloud Based Application approved to be used on the PSEC System. Any attempt to interface PSEC talkgroups to a Cloud Based application without PSEC’s approval will be in violation of this Agreement and subject to action including, but not limited to, inhibiting radios and/or devices.
Cloud Based Applications outside of Motorola Critical Connect must be submitted to PSEC in writing for review and final approval by the PSEC Steering Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion. -38- City Council Agenda
PSEC FULL TIME and/or EMERGENCY USER AGREEMENT: City of Canyon Lake 6 A request for such applications must be submitted to the PSEC Manager, include justification, number of devices, and number of talk groups.
Devices using Cloud Based Applications must be protected by Mobile Device Management through the AGENCY and have Multi Factor authentication (“MFA”).
If approved, PSEC System Administration will serve as a liaison between Cloud Based Application and the agency requesting LTE talkgroups upon approval of their request.
If approved, AGENCY shall be responsible for any initial and ongoing licensing costs for LTE talkgroups, devices, and service.
PSEC System Administration reserves the right to deactivate any/all LTE "on network" talkgroups without notice and makes no claim of coverage or availability, in its sole and absolute discretion.

STATEMENT OF WORK
This Statement of Work between the AGENCY and COUNTY describes the duties of each of the Parties.
The AGENCY is requesting to join the PSEC Radio System as a Full Time and/or Emergency user with a total of 24 AGENCY owned subscribers (24 Full Time and 0 Emergency).
An Emergency Radio for a Full Time User is defined as a radio that is programmed for full-time use, and the radio permissions are active on the PSEC network but is only used in the event of an emergency or disaster.
The purpose of the emergency radio for a Full Time User is to allow for the AGENCY to have a radio quickly available to them in the event of an emergency or disaster. As an emergency user, the AGENCY shall not use the system for day-to-day operations. PSEC will periodically assess the AGENCY’s use of the system. Should PSEC, in its sole and absolute discretion, determine that the AGENCY has used the PSEC System for nonEmergency Communications, the AGENCY will be subject to the full-time user rate of the given fiscal year.
Non-Emergency Communications for the Full Time User would be defined as if the radio is being used to monitor the PSEC system daily, (dispatch back up radio would be an exception), or more than ten (10) Push to talks per month.
If AGENCY uses the Emergency Radio for an incident, they must notify PSEC via email at [email protected] immediately. Billing changes will be effective date of email notification.
To remove the radio completely from billing the radio would need to be brought to PSEC and have the programmed removed, and the ID would be removed from the PSEC system.
The AGENCY’s area of operation will be covered by the Southwest Simulcast cells. The coverage provided by the PSEC Radio System is “as-is”. This Agreement does not provide any coverage guarantees. It is the responsibility of the AGENCY to test their area of operation and determine if it meets their needs prior to joining the PSEC Radio System. For the Critical Connect System, coverage is dependent upon the user’s thirdparty cellular network connection and coverage, capacity and uptime is not guaranteed by PSEC.
COUNTY will develop the fleet map, review vendor created codeplug, and activate the IDs on the network for AGENCY. These costs are listed in the Cost Estimate Table in EXHIBIT A. “PSEC BOARD APPROVED RATES” of this Agreement.

The City previously adopted Ordinance No. 252, on April 9, 2025, to implement these changes; however, it was adopted as an uncodified ordinance.
Ordinance No. 274 will repeal Oridinnace No. 252 and add Chapter 3.48 to the Canyon Lake Municipal Code, formally establishing the City's participation in the TUMF Program and providing for annual CCI adjustments. The ordinance also clarifies residential land use definitions to ensure consistency with current development patterns, state housing law, and WRCOG TUMF land use classifications.
Ordinance No. 274 updates the TUMF fee schedule for new development, as follows:
$12,705 per single-family residential unit 1,800 square feet or less -51- City Council Agenda
$14,292 per single-family residential unit between 1,801 and 2,300 square feet $15,881 per single-family residential unit between 2,301 and 2,700 square feet $19,851 per single-family residential unit greater than 2,700 square feet $8,021 per multi-family residential unit
$2.39 per square foot of an industrial project
$7.92 per square foot of a retail commercial project
$5.02 per square foot of a service commercial project
$2.51 per square foot of Class A and B office
Fiscal Impact Yes/No:No
Additional Fiscal Information:
There is no fiscal impact associated with adopting the Resolution. If the City does not adopt the WRCOG approved fee schedule and continues its current rates, it would be responsible for remitting the difference to WRCOG for applicable new development. Adopting the CCI adjustment, including future automatic updates, maintains consistency with the TUMF Program and avoids potential financial exposure from fee discrepancies.

ORDINANCE NO. 274
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CANYON LAKE, CALIFORNIA, REPEALING ORDINANCE NO. 252 AND ADDING CHAPTER 3.48 (TRANSPORTATION UNIFORM MITIGATION FEE PROGRAM) TO TITLE 3 (REVENUE AND FINANCE) OF THE CANYON LAKE MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING
TO THE WESTERN RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION UNIFORM
MITIGATION FEE PROGRAM AND ESTABLISHING ANNUAL CONSTRUCTION
COST INDEX ADJUSTMENTS
WHEREAS, the City of Canyon Lake is a member agency of the Western Riverside Council of Governments (“WRCOG”), a joint powers agency comprised of the County of Riverside and 18 cities located in Western Riverside County; and
WHEREAS, acting in concert, the WRCOG member agencies developed a plan whereby the shortfall in funds needed to enlarge the capacity of the Regional System of Highways and Arterials in Western Riverside County (the “Regional System”) could be made up in part by a Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (“TUMF”) on future residential, commercial, and industrial development; and
WHEREAS, the TUMF Program is supported by nexus studies prepared pursuant to Government Code sections 66000 et seq. (the Mitigation Fee Act), which demonstrate a reasonable relationship between new development and the need for regional transportation improvements; and WHEREAS, the City previously adopted ordinances participating in the TUMF Program and authorizing the collection of the TUMF on new development within the City; and WHEREAS, the WRCOG Executive Committee periodically updates the TUMF Nexus Study and Administrative Plan to reflect updated land use assumptions, transportation improvements, and construction costs; and
WHEREAS, the most recent update, in September 2024, the WRCOG Executive Committee reviewed the 2024 Nexus Study and TUMF Program and recommended TUMF member agencies amend their applicable TUMF ordinances to reflect changes in the TUMF network and the cost of construction in order to update the TUMF Program; and
WHEREAS, on April 9, 2025, the City Council approved the Western Riverside County Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee Program Ordinance of 2024 (“Ordinance No. 252”), which amended and superseded prior TUMF ordinances to update the City’s participation in the WRCOG TUMF Program consistent with the 2024 Nexus Study; and
WHEREAS, Ordinance No. 252 was adopted as an uncodified ordinance and the City Council now desires to repeal Ordinance No. 252 and codify the City’s participation in the TUMF Program into the Canyon Lake Municipal Code, including provisions for annual Construction Cost Index (“CCI”) adjustments; and
-53- City Council Agenda
WHEREAS, the TUMF Administrative Plan calls for a CCI adjustment to be brought forth to the WRCOG Executive Committee on an annual basis; and
WHEREAS, on December 1, 2025, the WRCOG Executive Committee approved the implementation of an automatic CCI adjustment for all TUMF land uses tied to the September indices of the National Association of Realtors and Engineering News Record with a cap at 5% of any annual adjustments; and
WHEREAS, an automatic CCI adjustment ensures that fee levels keep pace with increases in cost of constructing transportation projects and avoids large increases at comprehensive TUMF Nexus Study updates; and
WHEREAS, this approach also allows for consistency and predictability for the TUMF Program, while ensuring that the fair share principles under AB 1600 are satisfied; and WHEREAS, the City Council desires to provide for automatic inflationary adjustments to the TUMF to reflect changes in construction costs over time, without modifying the underlying fee nexus, land use assumptions, or fee methodology; and
WHEREAS, in codifying the City’s participation in the TUMF Program into the Municipal Code, the City Council also finds it appropriate to clarify and update certain definitions related to residential land uses to ensure consistency with current development patterns, state housing law, and WRCOG TUMF land use classifications.

RESOLUTION NO. 2026-16
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CANYON LAKE,
CALIFORNIA, AMENDING THE APPLICABLE TRANSPORTATION UNIFORM
MITIGATION FEE (TUMF) APPLICABLE TO ALL DEVELOPMENTS IN THE CITY
OF CANYON LAKE
WHEREAS, the City of Canyon Lake (“City”) is a member agency of the Western Riverside Council of Governments (“WRCOG”), a joint powers agency comprised of the County of Riverside and eighteen cities located in Western Riverside County; and WHEREAS, the member agencies of WRCOG recognized that there was insufficient funding to address the impacts of new development on the regional system of highways and arterials in Western Riverside County (the “Regional System”); and
WHEREAS, in order to address this shortfall, the member agencies formulated a plan whereby a transportation mitigation fee would be assessed on new development and would be used to fund the necessary improvements for the Regional System; and WHEREAS, WRCOG, with the assistance of TUMF Participating Jurisdictions, prepared an updated nexus study entitled “Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee Nexus Study: 2024 Update” (“2024 Nexus Study”) pursuant to California Government Code sections 66000 et seq. (the Mitigation Fee Act), for the purpose of updating the fees; and WHEREAS, in September 2024, the WRCOG Executive Committee reviewed the 2024 Nexus Study and TUMF Program and recommended TUMF Participating Jurisdictions amend their applicable TUMF ordinances to reflect changes in the TUMF network and the cost of construction in order to update the TUMF Program; and
WHEREAS, consistent with its previous findings made in the adoption of Ordinance No. 252, the City Council has been informed and advised, and hereby finds, that if the capacity of the Regional System is not enlarged and unless development contributes to the cost of improving the Regional System, the result will be substantial traffic congestion in all parts of Western Riverside County, with unacceptable Levels of Service. Furthermore, the failure to mitigate growing traffic impacts on the Regional System will substantially impair the ability of public safety services (police and fire) to respond and, thus, adversely affect the public health, safety and welfare. Therefore, continuation of a TUMF Program is essential; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds and determines that there is a reasonable and rational relationship between the use of the TUMF and the type of development projects on which the fees are imposed because the fees will be used to construct the transportation improvements that are necessary for the safety, health, and welfare of the residential and non-residential users of the development in which the TUMF will be levied; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds and determines that there is a reasonable and rational relationship between the need for the improvements to the Regional System and the type of -64- City Council Agenda
development projects on which the TUMF is imposed because it will be necessary for the residential and non-residential users of such projects to have access to the Regional system. Such development will benefit from the Regional System improvements and the burden of such developments will be mitigated in part by payment of the TUMF; and WHEREAS, the City Council finds and determines that the cost estimates set forth in the new 2024 Nexus Study are reasonable cost estimates for constructing the Regional System improvements and the facilities that compromise the Regional System, and that the amount of the TUMF expected to be generated by new development will not exceed the total fair share cost to such development; and
WHEREAS, the fees collected pursuant to the TUMF Ordinance shall be used to help pay for the design, planning, construction of and real property acquisition for the Regional System improvements and its facilities as identified in the 2024 Nexus Study. The need for the improvements and facilities is related to new development because such development results in additional traffic and creates the demand for the improvements; WHEREAS, by notice duly given and published, the City Council set the time and place for a public hearing on the 2024 Nexus Study and the fees proposed thereunder and at least ten (10) days prior to this hearing, the City Council made the 2024 Nexus Study available to the public; and WHEREAS, at the time and place set for the hearing, the City Council duly considered data and information provided by the public relative to the cost of the improvements and facilities for which the fees are proposed and all other comments, whether written or oral, submitted prior to the conclusion of the hearing; and

ITEM NO. 6
CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Arron Brown, City Manager
BY: Arron Brown, City Manager
DATE: 04/14/2026
SUBJECT: Presentation and Discussion of the Draft Fiscal Year 2026-27 Budget Recommendation:
Review and discuss the City's Draft Fiscal Year 2026-27 Budget.
Background/Analysis:
The attached Proposed Draft Budget for Fiscal Year 2026-27 is presented to the City Council for review and approval.
The Proposed General Fund revenues are $9,202,730, which is an increase of $419,080 over the previous Fiscal Year budget. Estimated General Fund expenditures are $9,313,052, an increase of $688,703 over the previous Fiscal Year Budget. The Proposed Budget reflects General Fund Expenditures over Revenues of $110,322 for Fiscal Year 2026-27, however, this includes $130,000 in the use of Restricted Reserves for Equipment Replacement for equipment for the new fire engine which was previously approved by the City Council.
The major changes from the City's Fiscal Year 2025-26 Budget are as follows:
An increase in tax revenues of $246,890 with the largest projected increase in Property Tax, Property Tax Fire, and Property Tax VLF due to higher assessed valuations and an increase in actual revenues received in FY 2025-26.
An increase in Construction/Building Permit Fee revenues of $178,240 based on the Fiscal Year 2025-26 actual revenues received, new commercial cannabis projections and new fees.
An increase in Miscellaneous revenue of $51,700 based on the Fiscal Year 2025-26 actual revenue received as well as projected reimbursements for Police and Fire services as well as an administrative reimbursement for the management of the City's owned commercial property.
The draft budget for staff salaries for non-sworn positions includes a cost-of-living increase of 3.00% and a planned merit increase of 5.00%, where applicable. It also includes a proposed new position for $102,440 which will be partially funded by the City's Rental Fund. In addition, it includes the elimination of the Code Enforcement Division and the three full-time and one part-time positions.
The City Council's budget decreased by ($1,940). This includes a decrease in promotion and advertising of $11,000 offset by small increases in other line items.
The City Manager's Department budget increased by $37,581. The increase includes an increase in salaries and wages of $26,831 and $12,000 in professional services. -68- City Council Agenda
The Community Development Department decreased by ($39,357). The decrease is due to a change in salary and benefits of ($86,057) offset by an increase in professional and specialized services of $38,250 for software and IT support.
The City Clerk's Division budget increased by $81,615. The increase includes an increase in salaries and benefits of $29,655 for a proposed change in a staff position, and an increase of $45,000 for the upcoming municipal election.
The Finance Division budget decreased by ($80,942). This includes a decrease of ($67,417) in salaries and benefits which is the result of moving the Administrative Services Senior Analyst position to the newly created Human Resources Division, offset by the new Accounting Specialist position. Additional reductions include other items moved to the Human Resources Division.
For Fiscal Year 2026-27, the City established the proposed new Human Resources Division. This is necessary due to the increase in the number of employees added with the City's Fire and Police Departments, and the complex issues involved. The Administrative Services Senior Analyst position has been moved from the Finance Division as well as some of the human resources portions of that budget.
The Planning Division budget decreased by ($27,800), which includes a decrease for General Plan services of ($30,000) offset by an increase of $2,200 in the regular planning costs.
The Building & Safety Division budget increased by $94,798. The increase is due to the proposed new position with salary and benefits of $102,437, which will be partially funded by the City's Rental Fund.
The Law Enforcement budget decreased by ($1,947,120) due to the City's proposed new Municipal Police Department. The proposed budget reflects only one month of the Contract Law Enforcement services provided by Riverside County Sheriff.
The FY 2026-27 Budget includes the new City Municipal Police Department, which includes projected salary and benefits of $1,757,325, Operation and Maintenance costs of $636,930 offset by CalCOPS revenues of $210,000. The City is also saving costs as the Code Enforcement Division was eliminated with a small amount of those costs being transferred to the Police Department. The FY 2025-26 Code Enforcement costs were $401,896.
The Fire Department Budget increased by $333,785, of which $133,902 is related to salary and benefit increases and $27,883 in operations. Salary increases are based on the agreed-upon 3.5% increase and, where applicable, 5.00% Step Increases.
The Emergency Preparedness Division budget decreased by ($36,000) representing $30,000 for the contract with Riverside County for EMD services and $5,000 for CERT training with Riverside County.
The Public Works Administration Division decreased by ($10,000) which represents $5,000 for oncall maintenance services and $5,000 for Interwest Consulting Group services.
The NPDES Division Budget increased by $5,200 due to the increased costs for the LE/CL TMDL agreement.
The Code Enforcement Division decreased by ($401,896), as the Division was discontinued.
The Building & Facilities Maintenance Division increased by $342,343. Most of the increase is an increase of $317,970 in insurance costs, due to the rising costs of liability insurance and the new Municipal Police Department. Additional increases are due to the additional space occupied by the Police Department for utilities and maintenance costs.
City Staff are looking for feedback at this meeting and any direction given by the City Council will be incorporated into a final Budget, which will be presented to the City Council for adoption at the May 13, 2026, City Council meeting.

ITEM NO. 7
CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Arron Brown, City Manager
BY: Ruby Manzano, Community Development Manager
DATE: 04/14/2026
SUBJECT: Introduction and First Reading of Ordinance No. 275 - An Ordinance Of The City Council Of The City Of Canyon Lake, California, Amending Chapter 11.25 (Special Events) of the Canyon Lake Municipal Code to Clarify Special Event Permit Requirements and Exemptions; and Adoption of a Resolution Eliminating Certain Permit Fees Recommendation:
(1) Waive full reading and introduce by title only Ordinance No. 275 - An Ordinance Of The City Council Of The City Of Canyon Lake, California, Amending Chapter 11.25 (Special Events) of the Canyon Lake Municipal Code to Clarify Special Event Permit Requirements and Exemptions; and (2) adopt Resolution No. 2026-17 eliminating certain Special Event permit fees.
Background/Analysis:
Chapter 11.25 of the Canyon Lake Municipal Code establishes regulations governing special events within the City, including permit requirements designed to protect public health, safety and welfare. The ordinance provides a framework for evaluating events based on size, location, and potential impacts to surrounding neighborhoods and City services.
At the March City Council meeting, staff presented proposed amendments to the Special Events Ordinance and received direction from the City Council to proceed with preparation of formal ordinance language. The proposed amendments are intended to clarify event classifications, eliminate redundancies, and improve overall usability based on administrative experience.
The proposed ordinance includes several key updates:
Increased Event Threshold: The definition of a Special Event has been revised to increase the attendance threshold from events with 50 or more persons to events with 100 or more persons. This change ensures that permit requirements focus on events that have significant impacts on traffic, public safety, and City services. Smaller gatherings will continue to be regulated under existing municipal code provisions.
Exemptions: Certain activities are exempt from permit requirements, including funeral processions, governmental activities, and private residential gatherings that are incidental and accessory to residential use. Exempt residential gatherings must remain private, not to be conducted for commercial purposes, and comply with applicable provisions of the Municipal Code, including zoning, noise, parking, and public safety requirements.
Coordination with Other Regulations: The ordinance clarifies that the issuance of a Special Event Permit does not exempt an applicant from compliance with other applicable municipal permits, licenses, or code requirements.
-125- City Council Agenda
Elimination of Certain Permit Fees: As part of updates to the City's Special Events program, staff recommends removing specific permit categories and their associated fees from the adopted fee schedule.
The fees are:
Minor Permit Fee -- $21.
Tier 1A "Private Event at Home" Permit Fee -- $68
These changes are reflected in the attached resolution. There is no anticipated fiscal impact associated with this item, and it will not affect overall cost recovery.
Following the First Reading, the ordinance will be scheduled for second reading and adoption at the May City Council Meeting.
Fiscal Impact Yes/No:No
Additional Fiscal Information:
The proposed elimination of certain Special Event permit fees is not expected to impact overall cost recovery.

ORDINANCE NO. 275
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CANYON LAKE, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING CHAPTER 11.25 (SPECIAL EVENTS) OF THE CANYON
LAKE MUNICIPAL CODE TO CLARIFY SPECIAL EVENT PERMIT
REQUIREMENTS AND EXEMPTIONS
WHEREAS, Chapter 11.25 of the Canyon Lake Municipal Code establishes regulations governing special events within the City, including permitting requirements intended to protect the public health, safety, and welfare; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has reviewed the existing definition of “special events,” which currently applies to activities attracting 50 or more persons, and finds that increasing this threshold to 100 or more persons better reflects the level of activity warranting municipal oversight; and WHEREAS, the City Council finds that certain activities should be exempt from the Special Event Permit requirements, including funeral processions, governmental activities conducted within the scope of official duties, and private residential gatherings that are incidental and accessory to residential use and not conducted for commercial purposes, because such activities generally do not constitute organized public events requiring City event permitting and are more appropriately regulated through other provisions of the Canyon Lake Municipal Code, including zoning, noise, parking, and public safety regulations; and
WHEREAS, the City Council further finds that clarification is needed to ensure that the issuance of a special event permit does not supersede or exempt any person from compliance with other applicable provisions of the Canyon Lake Municipal Code, including but not limited to zoning, noise, public safety, and business licensing requirements; and WHEREAS, the City Council desires to amend Chapter 11.25 of the Canyon Lake Municipal Code to promote clarity, consistency, and effective enforcement.
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CANYON LAKE, CALIFORNIA, DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Incorporation. The above recitals are all true and correct and are incorporated herein by this reference.

Section 3. Municipal Code Amendment.
3.1 Section 11.25.010 of the Canyon Lake Municipal Code shall be amended to read as follows:
11.25.010 Special Events Permit.
The purpose of this Chapter is to provide for the regulation of special events on public and certain private property to ensure the health and safety of the public, the protection of property, and the efficient transition of traffic, while protecting the constitutional rights of all persons to free speech and assembly.
(a) No person shall conduct, manage, or sponsor a Special Event, as defined herein, without first obtaining a Special Event Permit from the City Manager or their designee. This requirement applies to events held on public property (including streets, parks, and sidewalks) and events on private property, including Canyon Lake Property Owners Association property, that meet the criteria in subsection (b).
(b) As used in this Chapter, “Special Event” means any assembly, congregation, attraction, display, parade, race, entertainment, demonstration, carnival, bazaar, circus, rodeo, or other traveling show, fair, “party house,” festival, food faire, cookoff, dance, concert, party, or performance, block party or any other planned occurrence which is reasonably expected to involve 100 or more persons (including participants and spectators). (c) This permit requirement shall not apply to:
(i) Funeral processions;
(ii) Activities conducted by a governmental agency within the scope of its official functions;
(iii) Gatherings conducted on residential property that are incidental and accessory to the primary residential use of the property, provided that: (A) the gathering is private in nature and not open or advertised to the general public; (B) the gathering is not conducted for commercial purposes, including but not limited to charging admission, fees, whether directly or indirectly, or being promoted, marketed, or made available through any website, platform, or other medium for the purpose of hosting events in exchange for compensation; (C) the residential property is not rented, leased, licensed, or otherwise used as an event venue; and (D) the gathering otherwise complies with all applicable provisions of this Code, including but not limited to zoning, noise, parking, and public safety requirements. (d) This permit requirement shall not supersede any other temporary outdoor event permit, business license, or other permit required by City Code. The City shall coordinate the processing of multiple permits to the extent feasible.

All such permits, licenses, and approvals shall be obtained and complied with independently, and, to the extent possible, coordinated by the City. Where any provision of this Chapter imposes a standard or requirement that differs from any other applicable permit, license, or approval or requirement imposed by this Code or other applicable laws, the provision which is more specific to the nature of the Special Event shall control. In all other instances, the provision that imposes the more restrictive standard for the protection of public health and safety shall govern.
Section 4. Clerical Errors. The City Council directs the City Clerk to correct any clerical errors found in this Ordinance, including, but not limited to, typographical errors, irregular numbering, and incorrect section references.
Section 5. Severability. Should any section, subsection, clause, or provision of this Ordinance for any reason be held to be invalid or unconstitutional, such invalidity or unconstitutionality shall not affect the validity or constitutionality of the remaining portions of this Ordinance; it being hereby expressly declared that this Ordinance, and each section, subsection, sentence, clause, and phrase hereof would have been prepared, proposed, approved, and ratified irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, sentences, clauses, or phrases be declared invalid, unenforceable, or unconstitutional.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Arron Brown, City Manager
BY: Steven Graham, City Attorney
DATE: 04/14/2026
SUBJECT: Adoption of Urgency Ordinance No. 276 - An Urgency Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Canyon Lake, California, Amending Section 9.25.050 of the Canyon Lake Municipal Code to Add Subsection 9.25.050(b)(4), Authorizing a Business Otherwise Eligible for a Monument Sign to Erect a Second Wall Sign in Lieu of Such Monument Sign; and (2) Introduction and First Reading of Ordinance No. 277 - An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Canyon Lake, California, Amending Section 9.25.050 of the Canyon Lake Municipal Code to Add Subsection 9.25.050(b)(4), Authorizing a Business Otherwise Eligible for a Monument Sign to Erect a Second Wall Sign in Lieu of Such Monument Sign Recommendation:
(1) Adopt Urgency Ordinance No. 276 - An Urgency Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Canyon Lake, California, Amending Section 9.25.050 of the Canyon Lake Municipal Code to Add Subsection
9.25.050(b)(4), Authorizing a Business Otherwise Eligible for a Monument Sign to Erect a Second Wall Sign in Lieu of Such Monument Sign; and (2) introduce and read by title only Ordinance No. 277 - An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Canyon Lake, California, Amending Section 9.25.050 of the Canyon Lake Municipal Code to Add Subsection 9.25.050(b)(4), Authorizing a Business Otherwise Eligible for a Monument Sign to Erect a Second Wall Sign in Lieu of Such Monument Sign.
Background/Analysis:
The Canyon Lake Municipal Code currently allows each business in a nonresidential area to have one attached sign and one freestanding monument sign per street frontage, subject to applicable development standards. In certain commercial locations, monument signs located near the public rightof-way can create site constraints, including visibility issues, pedestrian circulation conflicts, utility conflicts, landscaping conflicts, and maintenance concerns. In some cases, monument signs may also require placement in constrained areas adjacent to drive aisles, sidewalks, or landscaped areas.
The proposed ordinance would amend Section 9.25.050 of the Canyon Lake Municipal Code by adding subsection (b)(4) to allow a single-use business that is otherwise eligible for a monument sign to elect to forgo the monument sign and instead install a second wall or fascia sign. The additional wall or fascia sign would replace the ability of the business to establish a monument sign otherwise permitted for that frontage. The wall sign would still be required to comply with applicable wall sign development standards and would be reviewed through the City's sign permit process to ensure that the sign does not create traffic safety issues and complies with applicable building, fire, and electrical requirements.
This amendment is intended to provide flexibility for businesses while reducing the need for additional freestanding sign structures near the public right-of-way and in constrained site areas. Allowing a second wall sign in lieu of a monument sign will reduce potential conflicts related to pedestrian circulation, -134- City Council Agenda
vehicle visibility, utilities, and landscaping while still allowing adequate business identification.
The Urgency Ordinance is identical to the proposed regular Ordinance, except that it would become effective immediately if adopted by a four-fifths vote of the City Council. The urgency Ordinance would allow the City to implement this flexibility immediately and avoid unnecessary monument sign construction or permitting in locations where a wall sign would be a safer or more appropriate option. In parallel, a regular version of the Ordinance is also being introduced to provide continuity and reinforce the urgency measure through the standard legislative process, consistent with best practices.

AN URGENCY ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CANYON LAKE, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING SECTION 9.25.050 OF THE CANYON LAKE MUNICIPAL CODE TO ADD SUBSECTION 9.25.050(b)(4), AUTHORIZING A
BUSINESS OTHERWISE ELIGIBLE FOR A MONUMENT SIGN TO ERECT A SECOND
WALL SIGN IN LIEU OF SUCH MONUMENT SIGN
WHEREAS, the City of Canyon Lake regulates signs in Chapter 9.25 of the Canyon Lake Municipal Code; and
WHEREAS, Section 9.25.050(b) presently provides that each business in a nonresidential area may have one attached sign and one freestanding sign per street frontage, subject to applicable development standards; and
WHEREAS, on certain developed commercial sites, a monument sign located at or near the public right-of-way may create or exacerbate visibility, access, utility, maintenance, landscaping, or pedestrian circulation conflicts, or may require encroachment into constrained areas adjacent to the public right-of-way; and
WHEREAS, allowing a qualified business to elect a second wall sign in lieu of a monument sign can provide business identification while reducing the need for additional freestanding sign structures, foundations, and encroachments near pedestrian and vehicular travel paths; and WHEREAS, the City Council finds that immediate effectiveness of this Ordinance is necessary to preserve the public peace, health, and safety by allowing safer sign placement options without delay and by avoiding the unnecessary construction or permitting of monument signs in constrained locations while permanent signage applications are pending or under consideration; and
WHEREAS, the City Council further finds that adoption of this Ordinance is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3) because it can be seen with certainty that the Ordinance will not have a significant effect on the environment.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CANYON LAKE, CALIFORNIA, DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Recitals. The foregoing recitals are true and correct and are incorporated herein by this reference. The City Council expressly finds that the facts set forth in the recitals constitute the facts establishing the urgency for adoption of this Ordinance.
Section 2. CEQA. The City Council finds that this Ordinance is exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that adoption of this Ordinance may have a significant effect on the environment. -136- City Council Agenda
Section 3. Municipal Code Amendment. Section 9.25.050(b)(4) is hereby added to the Canyon Lake Municipal Code to read in full as follows:
“(4) Alternative Second Wall Sign in Lieu of Monument Sign.
Notwithstanding subsections (b)(1) through (b)(3) of this Section, or any other provision of this Code to the contrary, a single-use business in a nonresidential area that is otherwise eligible to erect a monument sign for a street frontage pursuant to subsection (b)(3) may elect to forgo one such monument sign and instead erect one additional wall or fascia sign on the building occupied by that business, subject to the following:
(A) The additional wall or fascia sign authorized by this subsection shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, the monument sign otherwise permitted for the applicable street frontage.
