Emergency medical services:
Existing law, the Emergency Medical Services System and the Prehospital Emergency Medical Care Personnel Act, creates the Emergency Medical Services Authority, which is responsible for the coordination of various state activities concerning emergency medical services. Among other duties, existing law requires the authority to develop planning and implementation guidelines for EMS systems, provide technical assistance to existing agencies, counties, and cities for the purpose of developing the components of EMS systems, and receive plans for the implementation of EMS and trauma care systems from local EMS agencies.
Existing law makes a violation of the act or regulations adopted pursuant to the act punishable as a misdemeanor.
This bill would require the authority to develop an electronic signature for use between the emergency department medical personnel at a receiving facility and the transporting emergency medical personnel that captures the points in time when the hospital receives notification of ambulance arrival and when transfer of care is executed for documentation of ambulance patient offload time, as defined. The bill would require the authority to develop a statewide standard of 20 minutes, 90% of the time, for ambulance patient offload time. The bill would also require the authority to develop an audit tool to improve data accuracy regarding transfer of care, as specified, and to provide technical assistance and funding as needed, subject to an appropriation, for small rural hospitals and volunteer EMS providers to implement these provisions. The bill would require the authority to adopt emergency regulations to implement these provisions on or before March 1, 2024. Because the bill would create new requirements within the act, thereby expanding the scope of an existing crime, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program.
Existing law, the Warren-911-Emergency Assistance Act, requires each local public agency within its respective jurisdiction to establish a basic system that automatically connects a person dialing 911 to an established public safety answering point through normal telephone service facilities.
This bill would require the Emergency Services Medical Authority, on or before March 1, 2024, to develop a public education campaign related to the use of the 911 service and other tools for access to care. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.

Emergency Medical Services:
(1) Existing law establishes the Medi-Cal program, which is administered by the State Department of Health Care Services and under which qualified low- income individuals receive health care services, including emergency medical transportation services. The Medi-Cal program is, in part, governed and funded by federal Medicaid program provisions. Existing law requires, with exceptions, that the reimbursement to emergency medical transport providers for emergency medical transports, as defined, be increased by application of an add-on to the associated Medi-Cal fee-for-service payment schedule. Existing law requires that the add-on increase be calculated on or before June 15, 2018, and remain the same for later state fiscal years, to the extent the department determines federal financial participation is available and is not otherwise jeopardized. Under existing law, the resulting fee-for-service payment schedule amounts are equal to the sum of the Medi-Cal fee-for-service payment schedule amount for the 2015–16 state fiscal year and the add-on increase.
This bill would set the Medi-Cal fee-for-service reimbursement rate for emergency medical transports at $350 per transport. Under the bill, the resulting fee-for- service payment schedule amounts would instead be equal to the sum of the Medi-Cal fee-for-service payment schedule amount, based on the $350 rate, and
8.b

Packet Pg. 8
the add-on increase. Under existing law, the increased payments under the add-on provisions are funded solely from a quality assurance fee (QAF), which emergency medical transport providers are required to pay based on a specified formula, and from federal reimbursement and any other related federal funds.
This bill would specify that the $350 reimbursement rate would not affect the calculation of the QAF rate, and that the calculation of the QAF rate would be based on the methodology and reimbursement rate in effect as of January 1, 2023.
Existing law authorizes the Director of Health Care Services to modify or make adjustments to any methodology or fee amount under these provisions to the extent necessary to meet federal requirements or to obtain federal approval.
If a modification or adjustment is needed to meet federal requirements or to obtain federal approval, this bill would require the director to recalculate and reduce the add-on amount as necessary, and would prohibit the director from reducing the $350 reimbursement rate. (2) Existing law, the Emergency Medical Services System and the Prehospital Emergency Medical Care Personnel Act (act), establishes the Emergency Medical Services Authority, which is responsible for the coordination of various state activities concerning emergency medical services (EMS). The act authorizes a county to develop an EMS program by designating a local EMS agency. The act requires the medical director of a local EMS agency to issue a certificate to, or recertify, an individual as an Emergency Medical Technician-I (EMT-I) or Emergency Medical Technician-II (EMT-II), upon proof that the individual has met specified training and other requirements. The act sets forth various provisions relating to public or private EMS providers that employ an EMT-I, EMT-II, or other EMS personnel. Existing law makes a violation of the act a misdemeanor.
This bill would, for the compensation of an EMT-I or EMT-II employed by an EMS provider, as defined, require the EMS provider to set the compensation in an amount that is no lower than the prevailing wage for an EMT-I or EMT-II, respectively, within the corresponding EMS area, defined as the geographical area within the jurisdiction of the designated local EMS agency. The bill would define “prevailing wage” as the basic hourly rate of wages and benefits paid to a majority of EMT-I, or EMT-II, as applicable, employed within an EMS area of a local EMS agency.
The bill would require each local EMS agency to determine the prevailing wage of an EMT-I or EMT-II within the agency’s EMS area, and to annually update its calculation, pursuant to guidance on the methodology and formula that the authority would be required to develop for these purposes.
By creating new duties for public EMS providers, and by expanding the scope of a crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.
The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that with regard to certain mandates no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason. With regard to any other mandates, this bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs so mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above.

Firearms: unserialized firearms:
Existing federal law requires a commercially produced firearm to be etched or otherwise inscribed by the manufacturer with a unique serial number. Existing state law prohibits the alteration, removal, or obliteration of that serial number. A violation of this prohibition is punishable as a felony. Existing law also prohibits the transfer or possession of a firearm with a serial number that has been altered, removed, or obliterated. A violation of this prohibition is punishable as a misdemeanor. Existing law requires a person, other than a licensed manufacturer, who assembles or manufactures a firearm, or any person who possesses an unserialized firearm, to obtain a unique serial number from the Department of Justice and to inscribe that serial number on the firearm, as specified. A violation of this requirement is punishable as a misdemeanor.
This bill would make the possession of an unserialized firearm or possession of a firearm with an altered, removed, or obliterated serial number punishable as a felony. By increasing the punishment for these crimes, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.
This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.

State Route 83: reduction:
Existing law vests the Department of Transportation with full possession and control of all state highways. Existing law describes the authorized routes in the state highway system and establishes a process for adoption of a highway on an authorized route by the California Transportation Commission. Existing law authorizes the commission to relinquish to local agencies state highway segments that have been deleted from the state highway system by legislative enactment or have been superseded by relocation, and in certain other cases. Existing law designates State Route 83 from Route 71 to Route 10 near the City of Upland. Existing law authorizes the commission to relinquish to the City of Ontario all or a portion of State Route 83 within the city’s jurisdiction and prescribes conditions that apply upon relinquishment. This bill would authorize the commission to additionally relinquish to the City of Chino all or a portion of State Route 83 within the city’s jurisdiction and prescribe conditions that apply upon relinquishment.

State Threat Assessment Center: transnational criminal organizations:
Existing law, the California Emergency Services Act, creates, within the office of the Governor, the Office of Emergency Services, which is responsible for addressing natural, technological, or human-caused disasters and emergencies, including responsibility for activities necessary to prevent, respond to, recover from, and mitigate the effects of emergencies and disasters to people and property.
This bill would find and declare that the State Threat Assessment Center (STAC) serves as California’s information-sharing clearinghouse of strategic threat analysis and situational awareness reporting for statewide leadership and the public safety community, as specified, and that the STAC is California’s state primary fusion center, as designated by the Governor, and is operated by the Department of the California Highway Patrol, the Office of Emergency Services, and the Department of Justice. The bill would make other findings and declarations related to drug trafficking and transnational criminal organizations. The bill would require the STAC and the Office of Emergency Services to prioritize, to the greatest extent possible, cooperation with state and local efforts to illuminate, disrupt, degrade, and dismantle criminal networks trafficking opioid drugs that pose a threat to California. The bill would require the STAC to support state and local interagency task forces to combat illegal opioid trafficking in California, as specified, including preparing and disseminating intelligence products for public safety entities.

Seismic retrofitting: soft story multifamily housing:
Existing law establishes the California Earthquake Authority, administered under the authority of the Insurance Commissioner and governed by a 3-member board, to transact insurance in this state as necessary to sell policies of basic residential earthquake insurance. Under existing law, the California Residential Mitigation Program, also known as the CRMP, is a joint powers authority created in 2012 by agreement between the California Earthquake Authority and the Office of Emergency Services. Existing law establishes the Seismic Retrofitting Program for Soft Story Multifamily Housing for the purposes of providing financial assistance to owners of soft story multifamily housing for seismic retrofitting to protect individuals living in multifamily housing that have been determined to be at risk of collapse in earthquakes, as specified. Existing law also establishes the Seismic Retrofitting Program for Soft Story Multifamily Housing Fund, and its subsidiary account, the Seismic Retrofitting Account, within the State Treasury. Existing law provides that the Legislature will appropriate $250,000,000 from the General Fund in the 2023–24 Budget Act to the Seismic Retrofitting Program for Soft Story Multifamily Housing Fund for the purposes of carrying out the program. Existing law requires the CRMP to develop and administer the program, as specified. Existing law makes these provisions inoperative on July 1, 2042, and repeals them as of January 1, 2043. This bill would, instead, appropriate $250,000,000 from the General Fund to the CRMP for the purpose of implementing the Seismic Retrofitting Program for Soft Story Multifamily Housing. This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.

California Emergency Services Act: disaster preparedness:
Existing law, the California Emergency Services Act, establishes the Office of Emergency Services, which is responsible for the state’s emergency and disaster response services for natural, technological, or human-induced disasters and emergencies, including responsibility for activities necessary to prevent, respond to, recover from, and mitigate the effects of emergencies and disasters on people and property. Under existing law, the Office of Emergency Services, in coordination with all interested state agencies with designated response roles in the state emergency plan and interested local emergency management agencies, is required to jointly establish by regulation a standardized emergency management system for use by all emergency response agencies.
This bill would require the California State Warning Center, within the Office of Emergency Services, to develop a process for private-sector fuel transporters to voluntarily share information, as specified, for the purpose of providing fuel to local and state public-safety agencies actively involved in responding to or recovering from a disaster.

Proposition 47: repeal:
The Safe Neighborhoods and Schools Act, enacted as an initiative statute by Proposition 47, as approved by the electors at the November 4, 2014, statewide general election, made various changes relating to theft and the possession of controlled substances, including by, among other things, generally reducing the penalty for those crimes, including reducing the penalty for possession of concentrated cannabis, establishing a procedure by which individuals convicted of those crimes prior to the passage of the act may petition for resentencing under the act, and creating the crime of shoplifting. The act also requires the Director of Finance to calculate the savings accruing to the state as a result of the implementation of the act and requires the Controller to transfer that sum from the General Fund to the Safe Neighborhoods and Schools Fund, which was created by the act. The act specifies the manner of distribution of those funds and the purposes for which they may be used.
This bill would repeal the changes and additions made by Proposition 47, except those related to reducing the penalty for possession of concentrated cannabis.
This bill would provide that it would become effective only upon approval of the voters, and would provide for the submission of this measure to the voters for approval at the next statewide general election.

Shoplifting: increased penalties for prior crimes:
Existing law, the Safe Neighborhoods and Schools Act, enacted as an initiative statute by Proposition 47, as approved by the electors in the November 4, 2014, statewide general election, makes the theft of property that does not exceed $950 in value petty theft and makes that crime punishable as a misdemeanor, with certain exceptions. The initiative statute defines shoplifting as entering a commercial establishment with the intent to commit larceny while that establishment is open during regular hours, where the value of the property that is taken or intended to be taken does not exceed $950. The initiative statute requires that shoplifting be punished as a misdemeanor. Existing law, as amended by Proposition 47, provides that a registered sex offender or a person with a prior conviction for certain serious or violent felonies, such as a sexually violent offense, who commits petty theft is subject to imprisonment in the county jail for up to one year or in the state prison for 16 months or 2 or 3 years. This bill would reinstate a provision of law that was repealed by Proposition 47 that provides that a person who has been convicted 3 or more times of petty theft, grand theft, or other specified crimes and who is subsequently convicted of petty theft is subject to imprisonment in a county jail not exceeding one year or in a county jail for 18 months or 2 or 3 years. The bill would also make this provision and the provision relating to a person with serious, violent, or sexual prior offenses applicable to a person whose prior or current conviction is for shoplifting. This bill would require the Secretary of State to place the provisions of the bill that amend the initiative statute on the ballot for the November 5, 2024, statewide general election.

Planning and zoning: housing development: higher education institutions and religious institutions:
The Planning and Zoning Law requires each county and city to adopt a comprehensive, long-term general plan for its physical development, and the development of certain lands outside its boundaries, that includes, among other mandatory elements, a housing element. That law allows a development proponent to submit an application for a development that is subject to a specified streamlined, ministerial approval process not subject to a conditional use permit, if the development satisfies certain objective planning standards. Existing law, the Zenovich-Moscone-Chacon Housing and Home Finance Act, establishes the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee within the Department of Housing and Community Development. Existing law requires the committee to allocate state low-income housing tax credits in conformity with state and federal law that establishes a maximum rent that may be charged to a tenant for a project unit constructed using low-income housing tax credits. This bill would require that a housing development project be a use by right upon the request of an applicant who submits an application for streamlined approval, on any land owned by an independent institution of higher education or religious institution on or before January 1, 2024, if the development satisfies specified criteria, including that the development is not adjoined to any site where more than one-third of the square footage on the site is dedicated to industrial use. The bill would define various terms for these purposes. Among other things, the bill would require that 100% of the units, exclusive of manager units, in a housing development project eligible for approval as a use by right under these provisions be affordable to lower income households, except that 20% of the units may be for moderate-income households and 5% of the units may be for staff of the independent institution of higher education or the religions institution that owns the land, provided that the units affordable to lower income households are offered at affordable rent, as set in an amount consistent with the rent limits established by the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee, or affordable housing cost, as specified. The bill would authorize the development to include ancillary uses on the ground floor of the development, as specified. This bill would specify that a housing development project that is eligible for approval as a use by right under the bill is also eligible for a density bonus or other incentives or concessions, except as specified. The bill would require a development subject to these provisions to provide off-street parking of up to one space per unit, unless a local ordinance provides for a lower standard of parking, in which case the ordinance applies.
The bill would prohibit a local government from imposing any parking requirement on a development subject to these provisions if the development is located within one-half mile walking distance of public transit, either a high-quality transit corridor or a major transit stop, as those terms are defined, or it is within one block of a car share vehicle. This bill would require a local government that determines a proposed development is in conflict with any objective planning standards, as specified, to provide the developer with written documentation explaining those conflicts under a specified timeframe. The bill would provide that the development shall be deemed to satisfy the required objective planning standards if the local government fails to provide the requisite documentation explaining any conflicts. The bill would authorize a local government to conduct a design review, as described, only if the design review focuses on compliance with the requisite criteria of a streamlined, ministerial review process. The bill would prohibit a local government from using a design review, as specified, from inhibiting, chilling, or precluding a streamlined, ministerial approval. The bill would require a local government to issue a subsequent permit for developments approved under the provisions of this act. The bill would include findings that changes proposed by this bill address a matter of statewide concern rather than a municipal affair and, therefore, apply to all cities, including charter cities. The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires a lead agency, as defined, to prepare, or cause to be prepared, and certify the completion of, an environmental impact report on a project that it proposes to carry out or approve that may have a significant effect on the environment or to adopt a negative declaration if it finds that the project will not have that effect. CEQA does not apply to the ministerial approval of projects. This bill, by requiring approval of certain development projects as a use by right, would expand the exemption for ministerial approval of projects under CEQA. By adding to the duties of local planning officials with respect to approving certain development projects, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.

Land use: streamlined housing approvals: multifamily housing developments:
Existing law, the Planning and Zoning Law, authorizes a development proponent to submit an application for a multifamily housing development that is subject to a streamlined, ministerial approval process, as provided, and not subject to a conditional use permit, if the development satisfies specified objective planning standards, including, among others, that the development proponent has committed to record, prior to the issuance of the first building permit, a land use restriction or covenant providing that any lower or moderate-income housing units required, as specified, remain available at affordable housing costs, as defined, or rent to persons and families of lower or moderate-income for no less than specified periods of time. Existing law repeals these provisions on January 1, 2026.This bill would authorize the Department of General Services to act in the place of a locality or local government, at the discretion of that department, for purposes of the ministerial, streamlined review for development on property owned by or leased to the state. The bill would delete the January 1, 2026, repeal date, thereby making these provisions operative indefinitely. This bill would modify the above-described objective planning standards, including by deleting the standard that prohibits a multifamily housing development from being subject to the streamlined, ministerial approval process if the development is located in a coastal zone, and by providing an alternative definition for “affordable housing costs” for a development that dedicates 100% of units, exclusive of a manager’s unit or units, to lower income households. The bill would, among other modifications, delete the objective planning standards requiring development proponents to pay at least the general prevailing rate of per diem wages and utilize a skilled and trained workforce and would instead require a development proponent to certify to the local government that certain wage and labor standards will be met, including a requirement that all construction workers be paid at least the general prevailing rate of wages, as specified. The bill would require the Labor Commissioner to enforce the obligation to pay prevailing wages. By expanding the crime of perjury, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The bill would specify that the requirements to pay prevailing wages, use a workforce participating in an apprenticeship, or provide health care expenditures do not apply to a project that consists of 10 or fewer units and is not otherwise a public work. This bill would define “objective planning standards” to exclude specified standards, including local building codes, fire codes, other codes requiring detailed technical specifications, and standards that are not reasonably ascertainable by the local government within specified time limits, as described.
Existing law requires a local government to approve a development if the local government determines the development is consistent with the objective planning standards. Existing law requires, if the local government determines a submitted development is in conflict with any of the objective planning standards, the local government to provide the development proponent written documentation of the standards the development conflicts with and an explanation for the conflict within certain timelines depending on the size of the development. Existing law, the Housing Accountability Act, prohibits a local agency from disapproving a housing development project, as described, unless it makes specified written findings.
This bill would instead require approval if a local government’s planning director or any equivalent local government staff, including all relevant planning and permitting departments, determines the development is consistent with the objective planning standards. The bill would make conforming changes. The bill would prohibit a local government from requiring a development proponent to provide consultant studies, as described, or other studies or materials that are unnecessary to ascertain consistency with the objective planning standards. The bill would, for purposes of these provisions, establish that the total number of units in a development includes (1) all projects developed on a site, regardless of when those developments occur, and (2) all projects developed on sites adjacent to a site developed pursuant to these provisions if, after January 1, 2023, the adjacent site had been subdivided from the site developed pursuant to these provisions.
Existing law authorizes the local government’s planning commission or any equivalent board or commission responsible for review and approval of development projects, or as otherwise specified, to conduct any design review or public oversight of the development.
This bill would remove the above-described authorization to conduct public oversight of the development and would only authorize design review to be conducted by the local government’s planning commission or any equivalent board or commission responsible for design review.
By imposing additional duties on local officials, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program.

Existing law provides various remedies against a public nuisance, including abatement by any public body or officer authorized by law.
This bill would prohibit a person from sitting, lying, sleeping, or storing, using, maintaining, or placing personal property upon any street, sidewalk, or other public right-of-way within 1000 feet of a sensitive area, as defined. The bill would specify that a violation of this prohibition is a public nuisance that can be abated and prevented, as provided. The bill would also provide that a violation of the prohibition may be charged as a misdemeanor or an infraction, at the discretion of the prosecutor. The bill would prohibit a person from being found in violation of the bill’s provisions unless provided notice, at least 72 hours before commencement of any enforcement action, as provided.

Surplus land: disposal of property: violations: public meeting:
Existing law prescribes requirements for the disposal of land determined to be surplus land by a local agency. Those requirements include a requirement that a local agency, before disposing of a property or participating in negotiations to dispose of that property with a prospective transferee, send a written notice of availability of the property to specified entities, depending on the property’s intended use, and send specified information in regard to the disposal of the parcel of surplus land to the Department of Housing and Community Development. Existing law, among other enforcement provisions, makes a local agency that disposes of land in violation of these disposal provisions, after receiving notification of violation from the department, liable for a penalty of 30% of the final sale price of the land sold in violation for a first violation and 50% for any subsequent violation. Under existing law, except as specified, a local agency has 60 days to cure or correct an alleged violation before an enforcement action may be brought.
This bill would require a local agency that has received a notification of violation from the department to hold an open and public session to review and consider the substance of the notice of violation. The bill would require the local agency’s governing body to provide prescribed notice no later than 14 days before the public session. The bill would prohibit the local agency’s governing body from taking final action to ratify or approve the proposed disposal until a public session is held as required. By imposing new duties on local agencies, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program.

Surplus state real property:
Existing law authorizes the Department of General Services to dispose of surplus state real property, as defined, as authorized by the Legislature, upon any terms and conditions and subject to any reservations and exceptions the department deems to be in the best interests of the state. Existing law requires the department to first offer surplus state real property to a local agency, as defined, and then to nonprofit affordable housing sponsors, as defined, prior to being offered for sale to private entities or individuals. Existing law requires a local agency or nonprofit affordable housing sponsor to satisfy certain requirements to be considered as a potential priority buyer of the surplus state real property, including that the local agency or nonprofit affordable housing sponsor demonstrate, to the satisfaction of the department, that the surplus state real property, or portion of that surplus state real property, is to be used by the local agency or nonprofit affordable housing sponsor for open space, public parks, affordable housing projects, or development of local government-owned facilities. Existing law authorizes the department to sell surplus state real property, or a portion of surplus state real property, to a local agency, or to a nonprofit affordable housing sponsor if no local agency is interested in the surplus state real property, for affordable housing projects at a sales price less than fair market value if the department determines that such a discount will enable the provision of housing for persons and families of low or moderate income. Existing law also authorizes the Director of General Services to transfer surplus state real property to a local agency for less than fair market value if the agency uses the surplus state real property for parks or open-space purposes.
This bill would remove authorization for a local agency or nonprofit affordable housing sponsor to be considered as a potential priority buyer of surplus state real property upon demonstration that the property is to be used by the agency or sponsor for open space or a public park. The bill would, where surplus state real property that is to be used by the local agency or nonprofit affordable housing sponsor for affordable housing projects and the affordable housing project is not completed within 5 years of the date the property was acquired by the local agency or nonprofit affordable housing sponsor, require the local agency or nonprofit affordable housing sponsor to pay a penalty in the amount of 1% of the purchase price. The bill would remove authorization to transfer surplus state real property to a local agency for less than fair market value if the agency proposes to use the surplus state real property for parks or open-space purposes.
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires a lead agency, as defined, to prepare, or cause to be prepared, and certify the completion of, an environmental impact report on a project that it proposes to carry out or approve that may have a significant effect on the environment or to adopt a negative declaration if it finds that the project will not have that effect. CEQA also requires a lead agency to prepare a mitigated negative declaration for a project that may have a significant effect on the environment if revisions in the project would avoid or mitigate that effect and there is no substantial evidence that the project, as revised, would have a significant effect on the environment. CEQA does not apply to the approval of ministerial projects.
This bill would provide that development of surplus state real property by a local agency or nonprofit affordable housing sponsor for affordable housing purposes is by right, making the development ministerial in nature and exempt from CEQA requirements.

Surplus state real property: Heman G. Stark Youth Correctional Facility:
Existing law requires a state agency to review all proprietary state lands under its jurisdiction, as specified, to determine what land is in excess of its needs, and to report on these lands to the Department of General Services . Existing law prescribes a process for the disposition of surplus state property.
This bill would authorize the Director of General Services to sell or lease property, of an unspecified acreage, known as the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation Heman G. Stark Youth Correctional Facility, located in the City of Chino, in the County of San Bernardino, to the City of Chino at fair market value upon terms and conditions the director determines are in the best interests of the state.
This bill would require that the proceeds of the sale or lease be expended on bond payments, as specified, and other costs, including costs for the review of the sale of the property and bond counsel. The bill would authorize the director, notwithstanding those provisions, to sell the property below fair market value for purposes of providing housing to persons and families of low or moderate income, subject to reporting specified information 30 days before the sale to the chairpersons of the fiscal committees of the Legislature. This bill would exempt the sale of the property from the California Environmental Quality Act. The bill would require the net proceeds of the sale to be deposited into the Special Fund for Economic Uncertainties, a continuously appropriated fund. By authorizing the deposit of proceeds into a continuously appropriated fund, the bill would make an appropriation.

PAGE 2
BACKGROUND
This matter was introduced on first reading by the Council at their February 21, 2023 meeting.
By the passage of this Ordinance, the City Council authorizes the amendment of Chapter 5.36 - Tow Service Regulations of the Chino Municipal Code.
The Chino Police Department has assessed its need for tow services based on the number of calls and size of the City. Following that assessment, the Police Department determined that the City’s needs warrant having three tow operators provide service s as authorized tow operators for the City on a non-exclusive basis.
Additionally, Section 5.36.050 currently disqualifies a tow service operator if any representative or employee of operator has been convicted of crimes specified in Section 5.36.50. Re vising the language to prohibit the person from driving or operating a tow vehicle when providing service to the City, but not disqualifying the operator as a whole, would better maintain the protections intended by that provision.
The last change to Sect ion 5.36.130 clarifies that deposits of storage fees are collected by the Police Department rather than the Chief of Police.
Amending Chapter 5.36 of the Chino Municipal Code to specify the number of authorized tow operators at three operators would be b est to notify interested operators of the City’s needs, while providing some flexibility in the Code should the Chief of Police find, in his/her discretion, that additional tow services are needed.
Also, the prohibition barring a tow service operator fro m participating as a tow operator if any of its employees or representatives has been convicted of a specified crime is arguably too broad of a standard. This provision could be narrowed so as not to disincentivize tow operators from providing such person s the opportunity to reintegrate into society and secure gainful employment. To that end, the proposed language instead clarifies that such tow operator representative or employee is prohibited from driving or operating any vehicle related to the tow services for the City.
Finally, the change to Section 5.36.130 better comports to the Police Department’s practice of having storage fees collected through the separate accounting maintained by the Department for that purpose rather than requiring the fees be collected by the Police Chief.
Once adopted on second reading, the ordinance will go into effect thirty (30) days thereafter.

PAGE 2
BACKGROUND
The City is one of several contracting agencies (Contracting Agencies) that are parties to the Regional Sewer Service Contract (Regional Contract) with IEUA for provision by IEUA of sewer services to the Contracting Agencies. The Regional Contract was approved effective O ctober 19, 1994 and expired on January 2, 2023.
The Contract Agencies and IEUA have been negotiating the extension of the Regional Contract and update to its terms. To that end and to preserve its rights to operate under the provision allowing for an exte nsion of the term, the Contracting Agencies timely submitted written notice to IEUA for continued service as provided under Section 29 of the Regional Contract and IEUA has acknowledged the written notice. Instead of providing continued services under the terms of the Regional Contract, however, on December 21, 2022, IEUA’s Board of Directors adopted Ordinance Nos. 111 and 112 establishing regulations regarding the regional sewerage system and recycled water.
The Contract Agencies dispute IEUA’s rights to unilaterally replace the terms of the Regional Contract with the regulations per Ordinance Nos. 111 and 112. As such, the Contracting Agencies believe they have justification to pursue legal action against IEUA for not abiding by the provisions of Section 29 to provide continued sewer services per the terms of the Regional Contract.
ISSUES/ANALYSIS
In an effort to informally resolve the dispute with IEUA related to the application of Section 29, IEUA has agreed to enter into the attached Tolling Agreemen t. The effect of the Tolling Agreement is to preserve all potential causes of action, claims, and remedies the Contracting Agencies could assert against IEUA related to their respective rights to continue to receive sewer services per the terms of the Regi onal Contract in lieu of Ordinance Nos. 111 and 112.
This allows the Contracting Agencies to continue to work with IEUA on an extended Regional Contract, without concern about the timeline under the statute of limitations to initiate legal action against IEUA should the negotiations fail.
IEUA has approved and signed the Tolling Agreement as have various Contracting Agencies.
To preserve the City of Chino’s rights to pursue legal action against IEUA should the negotiations of the extended Regional Contra ct not conclude in a timely manner, staff and the City Attorney recommend the Council also approve and authorize the City Manager to sign the Tolling Agreement.

BACKGROUND
On April 14, 2022, Public Works staff req uested proposals from pre -qualified engineering firms for Engineering Design and Bid Support Services for B Street Alley Water Main Line Replacement Project (WA224). On May 1, 2022, staff received three (3) proposals in response to the request. The proposa ls were evaluated based on experience, personnel/staffing plan, understanding of the assignments, work plan, demonstrated technical ability, and cost.
On June 21, 2022, City Council awarded a professional services agreement to HR Green Pacific, Inc., Corona, CA. The original scope of work included the replacement of approximately 2,650 linear feet water main replacement on B Street. During research and coordination with water division staff, it was discovered that the water main located within the alley nor th of the original B Street segment (Alley 18) was also in critical need of replacement. Given the similarities between the two projects and their proximity, staff requested a proposal from HR Green Pacific, Inc. Staff reviewed and concurred with the proposed scope and fee.
ISSUES/ANALYSIS
The proposed cost for the additional design scope of work , which includes water line and alley rehabilitation design, is $70,958. Staff recommends that the City Council approve the amendment to the Design Professional Se rvices Agreement with HR Green Pacific, Inc., in the amount of $70,958 for the additional design and construction support services for alley 18. Staff also recommends an additional $7,096 for design contingency for a potential total contract amount not- to-exceed $160,993.
Original Contract Amount $75,399.00
Original Contingency Amount $7,540.00
Amendment No. 1 $70,958.00

START TIME
PAGE 2
BACKGROUND
Since 2007, City Council meetings have been held at 7:00 p.m. with close d sessions beginning no sooner than 6:00 p.m. City of Chino City Council meeting agendas have several ceremonials, informational, and business items that re sult in meetings typically ending around 9:00 p.m. or later.
ISSUES/ANALYSIS
The meeting schedule change is suggested in an effort to increase transparency and resident participation. Moving the regular meetings up one hour so they start at 6 p.m. instead of 7 p.m. makes the meeting times more accessible for residents. Additionally, given that meetings are regularly running longer, the earlier start time makes it more convenient for those that want to attend or listen in through the end. Council special meetings and workshops will be planned on days when regular Council meetings are not scheduled, thus a llowing the regular meetings to be held earlier.
Since Council meeting times are set by ordinance, to facilitate this change, it is necessary for the City Council to adopt an ordinance amending the current start times for closed sessions to no earlier than 4:00 p.m. and the regular Council meeting open session to 6:00 p.m.
If the proposed change is adopted by the City Council, this Ordinance introduction will be published in the Chino Champion and brought back for a second reading at the March 21, 2023 Council Meeting. The anticipated start month of the time change, pending approval of the Ordinance and advance notification for the public, is May 2023.
The Planning Commission and Community Services Commission also have plans to request their meeting start time be changed to 6:00 p.m. to have consistency with the City of Chino public meeting start times.

COUNCIL MEETING DATE: MARCH 7, 2023
SUBJECT: APPROVE CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT INCREASE - C.P. CONSTRUCTION CO INC. (SD200)
PAGE 2
BACKGROUND
On July 6, 2021, City Council awarded a construction contract to C.P. Construction Co, Inc.
Santa Fe Springs, CA, in the amount of $1,848,455.00 for the construction of the Benson Avenue Storm D rain Project from Philadelphia Avenue North to Francis Avenue (SD -200).
Additionally, Council authorized expenditures for contingencies in the amount of $184,846.00, for a not-to-exceed potential total contract amount of $2,033,301.00.
Throughout the proje ct’s construction, the City has approved four (4) Contract Contingency Change Orders (CCO) for an amount of $123,626.86 to address various unforeseen field conditions and to allow the project to continue in the face of anticipated interferences rather than waiting for them to be relocated. Additional costs were also incurred due to timing conflicts with adjacent private development work on Philadelphia Avenue which would have resulted in closure of Philadelphia Avenue and Benson Avenue at the same time. These 4 previous change orders have resulted in completing the project nearly a year in advance of the originally delayed schedule by avoiding relocation of Edison poles, but have also expended nearly all of the available project contingency funds.
During co nstruction, a Stop Work Notice was issued by the City of Ontario Engineering Department as the storm drain alignment required disturbance within their jurisdiction. C.P.
Construction Co, Inc., made the initial application for Plan Review to the City of Ont ario following the issuance of the Stop Work Notice. To expedite the review process, the contractor paid the associated fees. Following the application in July of 2022, a period of delay ending in November of 2022 was incurred to allow for permitting and a pproval of design by the City of Ontario Engineering Department. This 5 -month delay resulted in a total extended cost to the contractor of $215,841.07.
To ensure that a nearby existing City of Ontario sewer line was undamaged by the adjacent storm drain co nstruction, the City of Ontario Engineering Department required camera inspections of this sewer line as a condition of permitting. To ensure that all existing utilities are maintained through construction and to promote a positive city image, the City of Chino agreed to the additional camera inspection as a condition of permitting.
The City of Ontario Engineering department asked for changes to the City of Chino approved traffic control plan once work resumed. This additional signage resulted in additional costs to the contractor. To facilitate the minimum level of impact on the traveling public during construction and to promote a positive city image, the City of Chino agreed to the additional traffic control required by the City of Ontario Engineering department.
The City of Ontario Engineering Department also required that all striping in the affected work zone to be repainted with thermoplastic paint rather than just the disturbed striping as was required by the initial contract. To leave the safest rou te of travel possible following the completion of the work, the City of Chino agreed to the additional striping requirements imposed by the City of Ontario Engineering Department.
The City of Ontario Engineering department required adjustments to the trench reconstruction requirements of the plans. Since the City of Ontario's request closely aligned with the typical trench repair standards of the City of Chino, the City of Chino agreed to the additional paving requirements imposed by the City of Ontario's Engineering Department; to provide the best quality driving surface possible for the traveling public and to promote a positive City image.
