As of March 13, 2025
INFORMATIONAL ITEMS
Federal Update
• FY 2025 Federal Budget – The federal budget continues to operate at Fiscal Year (FY) 2024 levels through March 14, 2025, under a continuing resolution (CR). Government funding is set to expire on March 14, when the current CR for FY 2025 expires. To avoid a government shutdown, lawmakers will need to pass , and the President will need to sign , 12 appropriations bills for FY 2025 or enact a CR to fund the government, which is the route currently being pursued.
On March 11, the House passed a CR (H.R. 1968, Full-Year Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2025) to fund the government through September 30 on a vote of 217-213, sending it to the Senate. The House vote was among party lines, with only one Republican voting against the CR and one Democrat voting for it. In the Senate, Democratic support will be necessary to pass the CR . While Republicans control 53 of the 100 seats, 60 votes are needed to limit debate. As of March 13, the CR remains in the Senate as the budget deadline looms.
• President Trump’s Administration
o Executive Orders – As of March 11, President Trump has signed approximately 90 Executive Orders. The list can be found here.
o Cabinet – As of March 12, the Senate had confirmed 22 of the President’s 23 cabinet appointees, with the appointment of Elise Stefanik as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations pending. The list of nominees can be found here.

AB 259 (Rubio, Blanca, D) Open meetings: local agencies: teleconferences.
Current Text: 01/16/2025 - Introduced HTML PDF
Status: 02/10/2025 - Referred to Com. on L. GOV.
Summary: The Ralph M. Brown Act mandates that meetings of local legislative bodies be open and accessible to the public, with some exceptions. It allows these bodies to use teleconferencing if they meet specific conditions, such as posting agendas and ensuring teleconference locations are public. Until January 1, 2026, the law permits alternative teleconferencing where a quorum of members physically attends from a public location within the agency's jurisdiction, with certain requirements for remote participation by members. This limit includes participating remotely for a maximum of two meetings annually if the legislative body meets once a month or less.
This bill would remove the 2026 deadline, making these alternative teleconferencing procedures permanent. The bill also addresses emergency remote participation, currently limited until 2026, by extending it indefinitely.
Existing law requires the posting of meeting agendas 72 hours in advance, but emergency situations can warrant remote participation without prior agenda inclusion. Additionally, the bill aligns with constitutional mandates that uphold public access to government meetings and records, ensuring legislative findings demonstrate the need for any access limitations.

SB 239 (Arreguín, D) Open meetings: teleconferencing: subsidiary body.
Current Text: 01/30/2025 - Introduced HTML PDF
Status: 02/14/2025 - Referred to Coms. on L. GOV. and JUD.
Summary: The Ralph M. Brown Act mandates that meetings of local legislative bodies be open to the public, allowing for attendance and participation, with some exceptions. For teleconferencing, it requires the posting of agendas at all teleconference locations, identification of these locations in meeting notices, and accessibility for the public. A quorum must participate from within the local agency's jurisdiction. Until January 1, 2026, certain neighborhood city councils can adopt alternate teleconferencing rules if authorized by a resolution and a 2/3 vote.
This bill proposes allowing subsidiary bodies to use alternative teleconferencing provisions, requiring public notice, agenda posting, and camera visibility during meetings accessible online. It mandates listing remote participants in meeting minutes and requires initial and annual authorization by majority vote. A 2/3 approval is needed for subsidiary bodies to use these provisions, which do not apply to bodies overseeing police, elections, or budgets. Elected officials on such bodies must meet specific agenda and quorum standards, and any recommendations must be presented to the parent legislative body. The bill includes legislative findings to justify privacy limitations and emphasizes compliance with constitutional requirements for public meeting access. (Based on 01/30/2025 text)

Summary: Existing law outlines how various local governments, such as counties and cities, are formed and governed. The Cortese-Knox-Hertzberg Local Government Reorganization Act of 2000 is the primary authority governing the process for initiating and completing changes in city and district organization or reorganization. This bill expresses the Legislature's intent to create new legislation related to local government. (Based on 02/20/2025 text)

AB 262 (Caloza, D) California Individual Assistance Act.
Current Text: 01/16/2025 - Introduced HTML PDF
Status: 02/10/2025 - Referred to Com. on E.M.
Summary: The California Disaster Assistance Act allows the Director of Emergency Services to provide financial help to local agencies for costs related to disaster response during a state of emergency declared by the Governor. Funding for this is continuously provided from the Disaster Assistance Fund and the Earthquake Emergency Investigations Account without regard to fiscal year. This bill would enact the California Individual Assistance Act to create a grant program offering financial aid to local agencies, community organizations, and individuals for certain disaster-related expenses. The Director is tasked with allocating funds from the Disaster Assistance Fund under specific conditions for this purpose, making an appropriation due to the expanded use of funds. The bill also mandates the Director to develop regulations to manage the program's administration and is set to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.

Current Text: 02/11/2025 - Introduced HTML PDF
Status: 03/03/2025 - Referred to Com. on E.S & T.M.
Summary: The Consolidated Appropriations Act 2021 mandates the federal Department of Health and Human Services to implement the Low Income Household Water Assistance Program, designed to help low-income households manage the cost of water and wastewater services. In accordance with this act, the Department of Community Services and Development oversees this program in the state. However, this program is scheduled to operate only until March 31, 2024. This bill would abolish these federally dependent requirements and proposes that the state Legislature fund a new California Low Income Household Water Assistance Program. This new program aims to aid residential ratepayers of smaller or disadvantaged community water systems. (Based on 02/11/2025 text)

A portion, $135 million, is designated specifically for wildfire mitigation through grants for local and state agencies, tribes, and nonprofits. Eligible projects include community infrastructure hardening, smoke mitigation, improved evacuation centers, and enhanced water systems for fire suppression.
Additional funding supports improving evacuation routes, water storage and distribution for firefighting, and backup electrical generators through coordination with the Public Utilities Commission. (Based on 02/26/2025 text)

SB 549 (Allen, D) Second Neighborhood Infill Finance and Transit Improvements Act.
Current Text: 02/20/2025 - Introduced HTML PDF
Status: 03/05/2025 - Referred to Com. on L. GOV.
Summary: Existing law allows cities and counties to create enhanced infrastructure financing districts to fund significant public projects. These districts have infrastructure financing plans that take effect after specific public hearings. The plans can involve the division of property taxes within the district, and bonds can be issued to support financing based on available or estimated tax revenue. The Second Neighborhood Infill Finance and Transit Improvements Act (NIFTI-2) lets local governments allocate certain tax revenues to these districts. A new bill aims to revise NIFTI-2 from January 1, 2026, allowing for the allocation of property tax revenues but removing the authorization for local sales and use tax revenues allocations. It also eliminates the requirement for the district's boundaries to match those of the city or county that created it.

SB 595 (Choi, R) Local government: financial reports: failure to timely submit.
Current Text: 02/20/2025 - Introduced HTML PDF
Status: 03/05/2025 - Referred to Com. on L. GOV.
Summary: Existing law mandates the Controller to compile, publish, and make available annual reports on financial transactions and compensation for each county, city, and school district in the state. If a local agency officer does not file their financial report within 20 days after being notified of the failure, they must pay a penalty to the state, with the amount depending on the agency's total revenue. The proposed bill changes the penalty condition, enforcing it if the report is not filed within 10 months after the agency's fiscal year ends. Additionally, the bill requires the Controller to assess whether some financial transaction reports can be replaced with machine-readable audited statements and to report this determination to the Legislature by December 31, 2026.

Current Text: 12/02/2024 - Introduced HTML PDF
Status: 02/03/2025 - Referred to Com. on H. & C.D.
Summary: The Social Housing Act seeks to establish the California Housing Authority as an independent state entity aimed at bridging the gap between housing needs and production, while also preserving affordable housing. This authority would oversee "social housing," which includes both its own properties and those owned by other entities, ensuring all housing is controlled by the Authority. Governed by an appointed and elected board, the Authority would submit annual business plans to the state and conduct regular audits. The bill emphasizes revenue neutrality, aiming to cover development and operational costs through strategies that prevent rent burdens, and prioritizes development on vacant land and near transit. Social housing will cater to a diverse range of income levels, offering two leasing models—rental and ownership. The rental model involves a one-year lease, while the ownership model offers a 99-year lease with limited equity. Eligibility for social housing involves a lottery system, with preferences for displaced individuals. The Authority will honor local preferences for project parcels if certain conditions are met. Additionally, the bill proposes a Social Housing Revolving Loan Fund providing zero- interest loans for mixed-income housing projects, and plans for future legislation to fund Authority activities through general obligation and revenue bonds.

Current Text: 02/25/2025 - Amended HTML PDF
Status: 02/26/2025 - Re-referred to Com. on L. GOV.
Summary: The Planning and Zoning Law mandates cities and counties prepare a comprehensive general plan for physical development, including land use and circulation elements. The proposed Local Electrification Planning Act would require, by January 1, 2027, to January 1, 2030, that jurisdictions with more than 75,000 residents either adopt a new plan or integrate an electrification-focused plan into their existing general plans. This plan must outline goals, policies, and actions to expand electric vehicle infrastructure and prioritize investments in zero-emission technologies, especially benefiting disadvantaged communities, low-income households, and small businesses. The bill permits cities and counties to reference a previously adopted plan if it meets these criteria.
This act increases local officials' duties, creating a state-mandated local program. It applies to all cities, regardless of charter status, as it addresses a state concern. Although the Constitution mandates state reimbursement for certain local costs, this bill specifies that no reimbursement is necessary for its implementation. (Based on 02/25/2025 text)

Summary: Existing law sets requirements for how local agencies should dispose of surplus land, which is land deemed unnecessary for the agency's needs through formal action. "Exempt surplus land" is specifically defined to include areas meeting certain criteria, like dedicating at least 25% of housing units to lower-income households and having a development density of at least 10 units per acre. This bill proposes changes where 25% of the units—excluding those for students, faculty, or staff—must be for lower-income households. Additionally, the required density calculation must now include housing for students, faculty, and staff within the area. (Based on 12/16/2024 text)

Summary: The State Housing Law sets construction and occupancy standards for residential buildings in California, allowing local governments to charge fees for various permits. The proposed California Residential Private Permitting Review Act requires local building departments to create and publish a fee schedule for residential building permits online. It also mandates that if a building department takes more than 30 days to complete a plan check for a residential building permit, they must provide an estimated timeframe for completion.
If this estimate or the actual completion exceeds 30 days, the applicant may hire a private professional to conduct the plan check. The private professional must submit an affidavit and a report, which the building department has 14 days to review for compliance. If plans are non-compliant, the applicant can correct and resubmit them or again use a private professional. The bill applies to new residential constructions, additions, or remodels, and it introduces a state-mandated local program by expanding the crime of perjury and imposing additional duties on local agencies.

Certain projects, such as residential and mixed-use developments in transit priority areas, are exempt if they align with an existing specific plan with a certified EIR. This bill would expand exemptions to projects in areas of very low vehicle travel and mandates they follow specific planning guidelines, including development on previously used or qualified vacant sites. It also changes rules for exemptions related to agricultural employee housing, affordable housing, and infill residential projects, potentially allowing these within state conservancy boundaries and adjusting project size and location criteria. Additionally, exemptions for sustainable transit priority projects located in low vehicle travel areas are revised, requiring previous development or specific vacant site criteria. Lead agencies must file notices of exemption for qualifying projects, imposing additional local program requirements.

Current Text: 02/20/2025 - Introduced HTML PDF
Status: 03/11/2025 - Set for hearing April 2.
Summary: The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) mandates that a lead agency prepare an environmental impact report or adopt a negative declaration for projects that may affect the environment. A mitigated negative declaration is needed if project revisions can avoid significant impacts, with no substantial evidence of remaining effects. CEQA requires the Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation to develop guidelines, which the Secretary of the Natural Resources Agency certifies, including categorically exempt projects. A new bill proposes restricting environmental reports to conditions that disqualify projects from categorical exemption while ensuring only relevant aspects of ineligible infill projects undergo CEQA review. This bill exempts certain projects, like distribution centers or oil and gas infrastructures, requires mapping of urban infill sites by 2026, and refines exemptions for such projects. It also specifies that certain internal communications be excluded from the record of proceedings unless critical. If legal actions against improper exemptions succeed, further reviews will focus solely on the disqualifying facts.

Summary: Starting January 1, 2019, new regulations about ignition interlock devices (IIDs) were introduced, requiring individuals convicted of driving under the influence (DUI) to install an IID on their vehicle for a court- specified duration, with discretionary installation for first-time offenders. If these offenders meet all requirements, including IID installation, they can apply for a restricted driver’s license without a license suspension. IID manufacturers must comply with specific payment-related regulations. These rules were originally set to remain effective until January 1, 2026, after which the pre-2019 regulations would be reinstated. However, the bill proposes extending the current IID regulations until January 1, 2033, with pre-2019 rules reinstated thereafter, extending the impact of associated crimes, thus creating a state-mandated local program. The Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) is tasked with reporting IID program data to the Transportation Agency, which must, in turn, report to the Legislature by January 1, 2025. The bill requires the DMV to continue providing data until July 1, 2031, with a subsequent report due by that date. The related provisions would be repealed on July 1, 2035.

Summary: Existing law defines burglary as entering a location with the intent to commit theft or a felony. Burglary is divided into two degrees: first-degree burglary involves inhabited buildings and is punishable by 2, 4, or 6 years in prison; second-degree burglary includes all other cases, punishable by up to a year in a county jail or as a felony. Theft is categorized as petty if the property value is $950 or less, and grand theft if it exceeds $950, with respective penalties. Looting is defined as second-degree burglary or grand theft during a declared emergency, carrying a penalty of jail time or a felony charge. Impersonation of specific officials is a misdemeanor. This bill changes penalties for looting to felonies, classifies petty theft during emergencies as looting with stricter penalties, and introduces enhanced penalties for impersonation during looting.

This bill introduces additional requirements for these records: documenting the time and amount paid for transactions, the employee handling them, and a signed ownership statement that includes personal details of the seller. It mandates obtaining proof of ownership for nonferrous metals, prohibits purchases from individuals under 18, and requires maintaining records for at least one year. Authorized law enforcement can inspect records to ensure compliance. Additionally, engaging in scrap metal sales, specifically copper, requires a valid license from the Contractors State License Board, subject to annual renewal and a fee. Licenses can be restricted or denied if legal violations are found.
Certain professionals, like licensed electricians, are exempt. There's no requirement for state reimbursement as per this act. (Based on 02/10/2025 text)

Current Text: 02/21/2025 - Introduced HTML PDF
Status: 03/10/2025 - Referred to Com. on E.M.
Summary: The California Emergency Services Act mandates the Office of Emergency Services (OES) to manage emergency responses for natural or man-made disasters. This bill requires OES to create state recovery frameworks for catastrophic plans, while political subdivisions must develop regional recovery frameworks, with OES providing technical assistance. These frameworks must incorporate recent lessons learned from major disasters and align with FEMA guidance, covering aspects like economic recovery, health, social services, and infrastructure. The frameworks should be ready by January 15, 2027, and aim to use federal grants to minimize costs for state, local, and tribal governments. If state-mandated costs are identified, reimbursement will follow established procedures. The bill is deemed urgent and will be enacted immediately. (Based on 02/21/2025 text) Subject: Public Safety

Current Text: 03/10/2025 - Amended HTML PDF
Status: 03/10/2025 - From committee with author's amendments. Read second time and amended. Re-referred to Com. on PUB. S.
Summary: Existing law classifies it as a crime to willfully threaten someone with the intent that the threat is taken seriously and is specific enough to cause fear of immediate harm. The crime can result in imprisonment, depending on whether it is considered a misdemeanor or felony. Law enforcement can issue a search warrant based on probable cause if there is evidence of the crime. This bill expands this law, making it a crime to threaten violence at schools or places of worship, again punishable as either a misdemeanor or felony, depending on circumstances. If the offender is under 18, it is classified as a misdemeanor. The bill also clarifies that search warrants can be issued for evidence related to these threats. It outlines that no state reimbursement is required for local costs under this act. (Based on 03/10/2025 text) Priority: (2) Priority

Current Text: 12/16/2024 - Introduced HTML PDF
Status: 03/03/2025 - Set for hearing March 19. March 19 set for first hearing canceled at the request of author.
Summary: This bill would strengthen existing laws to protect the privacy and safety of students and their families in educational settings with regard to immigration enforcement. It explicitly prohibits school districts, county offices of education, and charter schools from allowing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers or other federal officials involved in immigration investigations access to school campuses without a judicial warrant.
The bill mandates that any denial of such access be witnessed and documented. Additionally, the bill forbids local educational agencies from sharing any educational records or personal information about students and related parties with immigration authorities, unless a judicial warrant is presented or a student's parent or legal guardian provides written consent. This also extends to California law enforcement agencies, which are prohibited from cooperating with immigration authorities in enforcing immigration actions within a mile of school sites, unless certain conditions apply. By imposing these measures, the bill creates additional responsibilities for local educational and law enforcement agencies, which may result in state-mandated costs. (Based on 12/16/2024 text)

Current Text: 02/04/2025 - Introduced HTML PDF
Status: 02/14/2025 - Referred to Com. on PUB. S.
Summary: The U.S. and California Constitutions protect individuals from warrantless searches and seizures, but certain exceptions exist, such as allowing officers to search a person for weapons if they may be armed and dangerous. This bill would codify the authority for officers to search individuals during lawful stops with specific 45 12
conditions. An officer can search an individual if they have a warrant, probable cause of a crime, or if the crime was committed immediately before the search. In other cases, officers must obtain consent for the search. They must inform the individual that consent is voluntary, explain the search's scope, and obtain recorded consent.
Officers must adhere to the search's explained scope and stop if consent is withdrawn. The bill also allows for searches from unsolicited consent if proper procedures are followed. This bill imposes requirements on local law enforcement and mandates a state-run reimbursement program for any additional costs incurred, as required by the California Constitution. Reimbursement procedures are outlined by existing statutory provisions. (Based on 02/04/2025 text)

Summary: Existing law mandates the Office of the State Fire Marshal within the Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, with a Deputy Director of Community Wildfire Preparedness and Mitigation responsible for the department's fire preparedness missions. This bill requires this deputy director to develop a Wildfire Risk Mitigation Planning Framework by January 1, 2027, and every three years thereafter, to evaluate wildfire risk actions using geospatial analysis for coordinated and long-term planning. This framework must be submitted to the Legislature and relevant offices for review. Additionally, by April 1, 2027, the deputy director is to create a Wildfire Risk Baseline and Forecast for the state, providing detailed geographic risk assessments. An annual Wildfire Mitigation Scenarios Report, starting August 1, 2027, will outline potential spending scenarios for mitigation efforts. The deputy director is also allowed to hire external experts for these assessments and reports. (Based on 02/11/2025 text)

Existing law allows the department to create highway cleanup programs. This new bill mandates that the department work with local governments to address homeless encampments on its property, establishing a liaison office for coordination. It requires creating a joint action plan in each district with local governments and allocating funds, as appropriated by the Legislature, to support these efforts. Additionally, the bill mandates the formation of an advisory committee in each district to guide implementation and requires the department to submit an annual report to the Legislature with information and recommendations on the issue.

Summary: Existing law allows the use of automated traffic enforcement systems at intersections where drivers must stop, provided the government agency meets certain conditions. These include placing identifying signs and adhering to specific yellow light timing criteria. Additionally, up to January 1, 2032, certain cities in California can run speed safety system pilot programs under specified conditions. The law prescribes certain requirements for issuing notices of violation, which, if recorded by these systems, incurs a particular civil penalty. This bill would extend authorization to establish automated traffic enforcement system programs in more locations to detect traffic signal violations, subjecting violators to a $100 civil penalty. The bill outlines processes for issuing violation notices, conducting initial reviews, and handling administrative hearings and appeals for these violations. It also establishes a $25 filing fee for appeals against such notices. Legislative findings are included to justify limiting public access to related governmental proceedings and records.

Current Text: 01/14/2025 - Introduced HTML PDF
Status: 03/07/2025 - Set for hearing March 19.
Summary: The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) mandates that a lead agency prepare an environmental impact report for projects potentially affecting the environment or adopt a negative declaration if not. CEQA requires a mitigated negative declaration if project modifications can mitigate significant effects. Until January 1, 2030, CEQA exempts certain transportation plans, including for pedestrian and bicycle facilities, from its requirements. The proposed bill aims to extend these exemptions indefinitely and add new exemptions for transit-related projects such as transit route changes and improvements for zero-emission vehicles. The bill would require lead agencies to determine eligibility for these exemptions, imposing a state-mandated local program. It also mandates that cost estimates for exempt projects adjust biennially in line with the California Consumer Price Index. Lastly, no state reimbursement is required under this act due to specified reasons in the bill. (Based on 01/14/2025 text)

Summary: The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires preparation of an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) or a negative declaration for projects with potential significant environmental effects. Certain projects, such as residential and mixed-use developments in transit priority areas, are exempt if they align with an existing specific plan with a certified EIR. This bill would expand exemptions to projects in areas of very low vehicle travel and mandates they follow specific planning guidelines, including development on previously used or qualified vacant sites. It also changes rules for exemptions related to agricultural employee housing, affordable housing, and infill residential projects, potentially allowing these within state conservancy boundaries and adjusting project size and location criteria. Additionally, exemptions for sustainable transit priority projects located in low vehicle travel areas are revised, requiring previous development or specific vacant site criteria. Lead agencies must file notices of exemption for qualifying projects, imposing additional local program requirements.

Summary: Existing law creates the Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation within the Governor's office to assist with long-term planning and research, and to act as the comprehensive state planning agency. It permits local agencies to finance infrastructure projects through various methods, such as allowing cities or counties to establish enhanced infrastructure financing districts for significant community projects. This bill mandates this office to set up the Infrastructure Gap-Fund Program, upon legislative funding, to grant local agencies support for developing and constructing infrastructure projects. It allows the office to fund up to 20% of a project's cost, provided local agencies contribute at least 10% through local taxes.

Summary: Existing law mandates that the State Air Resources Board (ARB) establish and enforce standards for motor vehicle emissions to manage air pollution. Under the California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006, the ARB is also tasked with regulating greenhouse gas emissions. The ARB has introduced the Advanced Clean Fleets Regulation, which requires the transition of government and high-priority truck fleets to zero-emission vehicles.

Current Text: 03/05/2025 - Amended HTML PDF
Status: 03/05/2025 - From committee with author's amendments. Read second time and amended. Re-referred to Com. on E.Q.
Summary: The California Beverage Container Recycling and Litter Reduction Act, managed by the Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery, aims to promote the recycling of beverage containers, which are defined as bottles, cans, jars, or cartons made of metal, glass, or plastic, excluding cups or open containers. Violating the act is considered a crime. Originally, the department could provide payments to recyclers for thermoform plastic containers, but this bill removes that authorization. Starting January 1, 2027, manufacturers must ensure plastic beverage containers with caps have tethered caps to prevent separation from the container. Containers with over a 70% recycling rate in 2022-2023, containers over 2 liters, and those with beer, wine, spirits, or 100% fruit juice are exempt from this requirement until January 1, 2028. Exemptions also apply to refillable containers and manufacturers selling fewer than 16 million containers annually. Introducing this requirement as part of the act, a violation would become a crime, thus creating a state-mandated local program. The bill specifies that no state reimbursement is necessary for this reason. (Based on 03/05/2025 text) Subject: Trash, Recycling, Water, Resources

This fund would be used by the board, with legislative approval, to support initiatives related to reducing PFAS contamination. The board is also authorized to accept federal and private funding, which would be deposited into a specific PFAS Reduction Account and used to finance the initiatives continuously. Funds from this account could be provided as grants, loans, or contracts to aid water suppliers and wastewater operators. This would help cover costs associated with ensuring drinking water meets state and federal PFAS standards. To qualify for these funds, water suppliers or operators must demonstrate a clear plan for using them to enhance public safety related to drinking water or treated wastewater. The board can also establish guidelines to assist in implementing these measures. (Based on 02/19/2025 text)

The Honorable John Harabedian, Chair
Joint Legislative Audit Committee
1021 O Street, Room 4350
Sacramento, CA 94249-0053
Subject: Request for Audit of the California Institution for Men by the Joint Legislative Audit Committee
Dear Assembly Member Harabedian,
I write on behalf of the City of Chino to formally request that the Joint Legislative Audit Committee (JLAC) conduct a comprehensive audit of the California Institution for Men (CIM). This audit is essential to address persistent concerns regarding operational inefficiencies, staff safety, and the deteriorating state of the facility.
In November 2008, Inspector General David Shaw audited CIM, providing findings and recommendations. A consulting group, Vanderweil Facilities Advisors (VFA), concluded that CIM would require condemnation by 2014 unless proper funding was allocated to maintain and improve its infrastructure. At the time, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) allocated approximately $4 million annually for maintenance and repairs. VFA estimated that $28 million annually would be required to maintain CIM’s infrastructure at a minimal level to prevent further degradation. The $28 million would not improve conditions but merely sustain the facility's already poor state.
Using the Facility Condition Index (FCI), VFA rated CIM’s infrastructure. In 2009, CIM’s FCI stood at
0.409, indicating poor condition. Without necessary funding, VFA projected the FCI to exceed 0.6 by 2014, at which point replacement—not repair—would be required. Despite these warnings, adequate funding has not been provided, and CIM's infrastructure continues to deteriorate more than 15 years later.
Recent discussions of budget cuts have exacerbated security concerns. Proposals to eliminate several positions within California State Prisons included the removal of CDCR guards from main gates, raising serious safety risks. This change would allow unrestricted access to the prison grounds, including one 52 The Honorable John Harabedian

of CIM’s most vulnerable areas —the facility armory. Removing gate security from a facility that houses some of the state’s most dangerous criminals is alarming and compromises public safety.
CIM has a long history of security challenges. In 1983, Kevin Cooper escaped through a fence and subsequently committed multiple murders. More recently, in 2018, Michael Garrett escaped due to a defective fence that had remained unrepaired for over a decade. The escape exposed flaws in CIM’s response protocols. Garrett was eventually apprehended nearly 100 miles away in Encinitas.
The prison's aging infrastructure and limited security features have also posed ongoing risks to public safety. CIM has experienced numerous riots, the most severe occurring in August 2009, involving over 1,300 inmates. The riot resulted in extensive damag e to housing units, fires, and over 200 inmate injuries, though no inmates escaped, and staff remained unharmed. This incident further demonstrated CIM’s difficulties maintaining order and safety in an under-resourced facility.
CIM was built in 1941 to relieve overcrowding in other state prisons and serve as the nation’s first minimum-security facility, focusing on rehabilitation. However, it now houses 46 condemned inmates transferred due to safety concerns at San Quentin State P rison. CIM was never intended to house condemned inmates and lacks the appropriate infrastructure for this purpose.
In 2017, Assembly Member Freddie Rodriguez introduced Assembly Bill 2028, which aimed to require regular security audits and develop plans to address identified deficiencies. Governor Brown vetoed the bill, citing the ongoing security audits conducted by the Office of Audits and Court Compliance.
However, these audits have not sufficiently addressed the significant security issues at CIM. In a letter to Acting Secretary Diaz, Assembly Member Rodriguez documented his firsthand observations of the prison’s deteriorating infrastructure, security deficiencies, unnavigable roads, and failing plumbing, all of which pose health and safety risks to inmates and staff.
Given these ongoing safety, operational, and infrastructure challenges, we respectfully ask that you urge JLAC to conduct a thorough audit of the California Institution for Men. A comprehensive review will provide transparency, identify critical areas for improvement, and ensure that CIM can operate safely and effectively to protect the community and those within the facility.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. Please do not hesitate to contact me if further information is required.
Sincerely,
Eunice Ulloa
Mayor

CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: MARCH 18, 2025
TITLE: PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT AGREEMENT WITH CARMAX AUTO SUPERSTORES, INC.
PAGE: 2
BACKGROUND
Chino East End Industrial, LLC (“Developer”) submitted its application to the C ounty of San Bernardino (“County”) to develop existing parcels (APNs: 1013-271-01 and 1013-261-17) for the future construction of a CarMax Vehicle Wholesale Auction Facility (“Project”) in the Light Industrial General Plan land -use designation zone. The Project, located at 11708 East End Avenue, was within the City’s Sphere of Influence (“SOI”) prior to its annexation into the City in October 2024, as shown in Exhibit A.
At the Developer’s request, the City analyzed the existing sewer facilities contiguous t o the subject property that could potentially provide sanitary sewer service to the Project. The City requested that the Developer provide a sewer study to ensure that the 8 -inch sewer main in East End (fronting the proposed develo pment) is adequate to handle the additional flows generated from the subject property, and the tributary properties that will connect to the sewer line in East End Avenue in the future. The analysis also evaluated the proposed point of connection and deter mined that no system deficiencies or needed improvements to up -size downstream facilities for the purpose of taking on the additional flows is necessitated by the proposed development.
ISSUES/ANALYSIS
The Developer requested the Sewer “As-Built” Drawings from the City and submitted a revised plan to incorporate a new sewer lateral connection for the Project. Construction then began after the Developer secured an encroachment permit from the City . During excavation , significant utility conflicts we re identified, primarily due to insufficient vertical clearances. As a result , the Developer submitted a revised design to reconstruct a section of the existing sewer line along East End Avenue to avoid the existing utility conflicts. Due to the expanded scope of work within the City's right -of-way, execution of a Public Improvement Agreement (PIA) and the posting of securities is required.
CarMax Auto Superstores has a leasehold interest in the property with the Developer. CarMax Auto Superstores intends to develop the Property for use as a wholesale auction. The attached letter (Exhibit B) serves as an authorization for CarMax Auto Superstores to sign, obtain any permits, and pay all fees as necessary to develop the Project on the Property during the term of its lease. The foregoing authorization includes the ability to enter into ancillary documents with the City and/or provide security for the completion of improvements, including, without limitation, entering into a public improvement agreement with the City for the completion of work relating to the Project. CarMax Auto Superstores shall remain solely responsible for all obligations under such agreements and permits, all as subject to CarMax Auto Superstores' leasehold interest, and such obligations and agreements shall not otherwise burden or be binding on the Developer or the property.
CarMax Auto Superstores has provided the required performance and labor/material bonds and will furnish a warranty bond upon final acceptance by the City Council. All costs associated with the public improvements are borne by the leaseholder, CarMax Auto Superstores.
Additionally, the project was not conditioned under the City's entitlement authority but falls under the jurisdiction of the County. The only public infrastructure improvements subject to the City's engineering oversight are the sewer system modifications. All other o ff-site improvements required as conditions of approval will be administered and facilitated by the County.

City shall not be responsible for the design or construction of the property to be dedicated or the improvements pursuant to the approved improvement plans or map, regardless of any negligent action or inaction taken by the City in approving the plans or map, unless the particular improvement design was specifically required by City over written objection by Developer submitted to the City Engineer 137

The City shall promptly notify the Developer of any claim, action, or proceeding and cooperate fully in the defense of any such claim, action, or proceeding. In the event City fails to promptly notify the Developer of any claim, action, or proceeding, or if the City fails to cooperate in the defense, the Developer shall not thereafter be responsible to defend, indemnify, or hold harmless the City.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: MARCH 18, 2025
TITLE: ACCEPTANCE OF CALRECYCLE USED OIL PAYMENT PROGRAM (OPP15) GRANT FUNDS.
PAGE: 2
BACKGROUND
The State of California awards annual Used Oil Payment Program (OPP) funds to cities and counties for used oil and used oil filter recycling activities. The State awards amounts based on a per capita formula which also causes a fluctuation from year-to-year due to population change and OPP fund availability.
ISSUES/ANALYSIS
The Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) has made funds available to cities and counties since the early 1990s for support and promotion of used oil and household hazardous waste programs. These funds supplement costs for the City’s inspection of certified oil collection centers, as well as outreach, education, and materials to promote used oil recycling.
Staff received notification from CalRecycle that funding was approved from the OPP to be expended during the grant cycle term of July 1, 2024 through June 30, 202 6, which covers Fiscal Years 2024 -25 and 2025 -26. Therefore, Staf f is recommending an appropriation of $13,196 from the unappropriated reserves of the Sanitation Fund with a corresponding increase to the revenues. There are no city matching funds required. The Fiscal Year 2024 -25 funds will be distributed by the State Controller’s Office in Spring 2025.
