Council Member Lucio inquired regarding the projected annual increases with Southern California Edison (SCE) and Mr. Corbin explained the annual increase of 11.1% from 2020-2024.
Mayor Pro Tem Burton asked why the project didn't begin at a facility such as the Civic Center, given the Police Department's existing energy efficiency. Mr. Corbin explained the Police Department is one of the largest energy consumers due to its extended operating hours. City Manager Reich explained the next priority is installing electric vehicle charging stations at public facilities, a process already underway.

Adopt Resolution No. 2025 -027 approving the City of Chino's membership into CIRA and participation in the General Liability and Workers' Compensation Programs.
Staff Report By: Terry Doyle, Director of Human Resources RECOMMENDATION: Adopt Resolution No. 2025 -027 approving the City of Chino's membership into CIRA and participation in the General Liability and Workers' Compensation Programs.
Terry Doyle, Director of Human Resources/Risk Management and Krystle Murillo, Deputy Director of Human Resources/Risk Management, provided a presentation on the item.
Council Member Lucio discussed the comparison of general liability and workers compensation coverage options. He explained the concerns of joining CIRA, due to the requirement of a 5 year membership.
Ms. Doyle provided the City Council with more information on the CIRA JPA. She explained the extra benefits such as the inclusion of a Third Party Administrator (TPA) and the included training services, which the City currently contracts out at an additional cost.
Council Member Lucio inquired about other providers who require a shorter membership commitment to join, such as the Public Risk Innovation Services Management (PRISM) who has an estimated deductible lower than CIRA. He expressed interest in seeing more information from other agencies before moving forward.
Council Member Burton felt inclined to move forward with the staff recommendation, but wished he had more time to decide.
Mayor Ulloa inquired about the additional cost of CIRA and how it may be offset by the extra services.
Ms. Doyle explained that when joining a new provider there is a requirement to join prior to July 1, therefore, additional time is not available to hold a study session for the City Council to discuss further options available for FY2025-26.
The City Council recommended that staff obtain coverage with PRISM for general liability and workers compensation insurance programs, and if unable to secure coverage with PRISM, continue coverage with the current provider.
Motion by Council Member Lucio, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Burton, to direct City staff obtain coverage with PRISM for general liability and workers compensation insurance programs, and if unable to secure coverage with PRISM, continue coverage with the current provider.

23. Approve a new policy for Utility Connections for the Sphere of Influence and Out -of-Boundary Service Agreements. Adoption of Resolution No. 2025 -021 amending the Sanitary Sewer Policy to establish criteria for utility service requests within the Sphere of Influence and Out-of-Boundary service areas.
Staff Report By: Sylvia Ramos, Contracts & DIF Administrator RECOMMENDATION: 1) Adopt Resolution No. 2025 -021, superseding Resolution No. 2022-041 and amending the Sanitary Sewer Policy to establish criteria for sewer and water service requests within the City’s Sphere of Influence and Out -of-Boundary service areas; and 2) authorize the City Manager to execute all necessary documents on behalf of the City.
Sylvia Ramos, Contracts & DIF Administrator provided a presentation on the item.
Mayor Ulloa inquired whether an irrevocable agreement to annex is still required when requesting a connection and whether it applies to the Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) or the entire property, Ms. Ramos clarified that the property owner must enter into the agreement, which applies to the entire property, with the ADU serving as trigger.
Mayor Ulloa expressed concerns regarding the out of boundary service agreement and recommended revising the policy so the Infrastructure/Streets Committee recommends to the City Council rather than issuing the will -serve letter directly, ensuring alignment and avoiding conflicts over project approvals.
City Attorney Galante clarified the Resolution should be updated to state that the Infrastructure/Streets Committee recommends authorization of an ability -to-serve letter, rather than issuing it directly, and advised making this change throughout the Resolution to ensure the final decision remains with the City Council. City Attorney Galante also confirmed that ADU agreements must apply to the entire property, not just the ADU, and recommended the Resolution specify that recommendations come from the Infrastructure/Streets Committee, even if the committee does not support the proposal.
Motion by Mayor Pro Tem Burton, seconded by Council Member Lucio, to 1) Adopt Resolution No. 2025 -021 to include modifications to the Resolution to require the Infrastructure/Streets Committee recommendation to the City Council on all utility connection requests, superseding Resolution No. 2022 -041 and amending the Sanitary Sewer Policy to establish criteria for sewer and water service requests within the City's Sphere of Influence and Out -of-Boundary service areas; and 2) authorize the City Manager to execute all necessary documents on behalf of the City.
