The Chino Basin Desalter Authority (CDA) reported that 359.904 acre-feet of water was delivered to the City of Chino in January.
The CDA Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) recommended the following, all of which were approved:
Approval of a contract award to Advanced Industrial Services in the amount of $470,000 for the Chino I & II Coating Projects. This work includes labor, materials, and equipment required for surface preparation and coating of four steel vessels at the Chino I Desalter, as well as interior coating rehabilitation of a pellet reactor at the Chino II Concentrate Reduction Facility. Sufficient funding is available in the FY 2025/26 CIP budget.
Approval to reject all bids received for the supply of Amberlite PWA15 and Amberlite HPR4800 CI resin, and direction to staff to rebid the project. Two bids were received; however, staff determined that both contained material deviations from the RFQ requirements. As neither submission fully complied with the solicitation documents, both were deemed non-responsive. There is no fiscal impact to the budget. Approval of an amendment to the existing Maintenance Services Agreement with TE Roberts, Inc. in the amount of $50,000. This additional funding will provide sufficient capacity for any remainin g environmental cleanup needs through the end of the fiscal year. The additional $50,000 will be funded within the current fiscal year operating budget.

evaluated when determining whether and how to reset the Basin’s Safe Yield, including the need to assess potential risks of undesirable results and material physical injury to the Basin.
Discussion centered on how these requirements should be interpreted and applied to the ongoing 2025 Safe Yield Reevaluation effort. Board members and staff dis cussed the balance between technical analysis and management discretion, including how various assumptions, modeling inputs, and policy considerations may influence the final Safe Yield determination. The item also reflects broader stakeholder differences regarding the appropriate approach to resetting Safe Yield, including varying perspectives on risk tolerance, basin conditions, and long-term sustainability.

Discussion Item- Inland Empire Brine Line Reach, City of Chino Euclid Bridge Project The Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority (SAWPA) Project Agreement 24 Committee received an informational presentation regarding the City of Chino’s proposed Euclid Avenue Bridge Project and its impacts to the Inland Empire Brine Line (Brine Line).

TITLE: PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT AGREEMENT WITH GREAT DRAGON, LLC FOR SITE APPROVAL PL22-0027, LOCATED AT 13787 OAKS AVENUE.
PAGE: 2
BACKGROUND
On May 17, 2023, the Chino Planning Commission approved Site Approval PL22 -0027 for the construction of a single-tenant, 20,000-square-foot industrial building on a 1.11-acre site located at 13787 Oaks Avenue (Exhibit A). The project is intended to accommodate a wholesale and distribution business for shoes.
The Engineering Conditions of Approval (COA) require the construction of various public improvements along the project frontag e, including curb, gutter, sidewalk, streetlights, asphalt concrete pavement, landscaping, sewer, water, and recycled water improvements. To ensure completion of these improvements, the developer is required to enter into a Public Improvement Agreement (PIA) and provide the necessary improvement securities.
Final engineering has been completed, and the developer is currently constructing the required public improvements. The required bonds have been submitted in accordance with City requirements, and all co sts associated with the improvements are borne solely by the developer.
The PIA was delayed from City Council consideration to allow staff and the developer time to finalize terms related to undergrounding overhead utilities along the project frontage, as required by the Conditions of Approval and City Code. However, due to existing overhead transmission lines, which don't require undergrounding, the utility poles would need to remain in place to support those utilities. Since the project frontage represent s only a small portion of this segment of Oaks Avenue, staff determined that partial undergrounding of the utilities would provide limited benefit. As a result, staff concluded that an in-lieu fee, consistent with City Code, would be more appropriate to support a future, more comprehensive underground project along this corridor. The City and developer subsequently agreed to a fair -share contribution, and the developer has provided a lump -sum payment of $239,184 to be applied toward a future Capital Improvement Project. An engineer’s estimate of this work is attached as Exhibit C.
ISSUES/ANALYSIS
The requirements made at the time of project approval have been met by the execution of the PIA for Site Approval PL22 -0027 and by posting the necessary securiti es to guarantee the construction of public improvements conditioned for this development. The City Attorney reviewed and approved the PIA, which is attached as Exhibit B.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: APRIL 21, 2026
TITLE: CONDITIONAL APPROVAL OF A COVENANT AGREEMENT TO ANNEX FOR
SANITARY SEWER SERVICE AND REQUEST APPROVAL FROM THE SAN BERNARDINO
LOCAL AGENCY FORMATION COMMISSION (LAFCO) FOR SANITARY SEWER SERVICE FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 3910 CHINO AVENUE FOR A PROPOSED SINGLE-
FAMILY HOME AND ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT (ADU) LOCATED WITHIN THE CITY OF CHINO’S SPHERE OF INFLUENCE.
PAGE: 2
BACKGROUND
The subject property, located at 3910 Chino Avenue, is situated within the unincorporated area of San Bernardino County and within the City of Chino’s Sphere of Influence (SOI). The property has a General Plan land use designation of Residential RD 2 (1 –2 dwelling units per acre). The site is contiguous to the City’s corporate boundaries and is currently a vacant parcel proposed for development with a single-family residence and an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU).
The property owner has submitted a development application to the County of San Bernardino for the proposed project. As part of this request, the p roperty owner is seeking to connect the future single -family residence, and ultimately the proposed ADU, to the City’s public sanitary sewer system.
City staff evaluated service availability and confirmed that connection can be provided via an existing 8 -inch sewer main in Roswell Avenue. This facility is adequate to serve both the residence and the proposed ADU.
In 2025, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2025 -021, updating the Sewer Connection Policy and establishing revised criteria for requests wit hin the SOI. Pursuant to this policy, staff evaluated the subject request and determined that annexation, while technically feasible given the property’s contiguity to the City boundary, is not practical due to the disproportionate cost associated with annexation for a single property owner.
Accordingly, an Ability to Serve Letter was issued on March 2, 2026. The current request qualifies under Section 1 of the policy, which applies to properties within the SOI. The proposed development is considered non-sizable, is consistent with the applicable General Plan land use and zoning designation and meets all criteria for connection to the City’s public sanitary sewer system.
Pursuant to the current policy, a recommendation from the Infrastructure and Streets Committee is not required for this type of request. Therefore, staff is authorized to present the application directly to the City Council for consideration.
ISSUES/ANALYSIS
The San Bernardino County Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) would likely require annexation of a broader area beyond the subject property in order to establish a logical and cohesive service boundary. However, coordinating such an annexation effort would impose an unreasonable administrative and financial burden on a sing le property owner. The combined cost of LAFCO application fees, together with associated City, County, and construction -related costs, renders annexation cost-prohibitive for the applicant at this time.
Consistent with the City’s adopted policy, the property owner will instead execute an Irrevocable Agreement to Annex (attached to the Resolution as Exhibit B), which commits the property to annex into the City of Chino at a future date when a broader annexation becomes feasible.
Upon adoption of Resolution No. 2026-024, the City Manager will be authorized to execute and submit a LAFCO Application for Extension of Services by Contract (attached as Exhibit A).
Approval of the Irrevocable Agreement to Annex is contingent upon the following:

The City Manager shall be authorized to execute the Irrevocable Agreement to Annex on behalf of the City only upon receipt of written confirmation from LAFCO that the service extension request has been approved. If LAFCO denies the request, or if the applicant fails to fully reimburse the City, the agreement shall not be executed and sanitary sewer service shall not be extended.

TITLE: AUTHORIZE THE CITY OF CHINO TO JOIN PUBLIC RISK INNOVATION, SOLUTIONS, AND MANAGEMENT (PRISM) FOR FISCAL YEAR 2026 -27 FOR GENERAL AND EXCESS MUNICIPAL LIABILITY INSURANCE COVERAGE.
PAGE: 2
BACKGROUND
As a municipal organization, the City of Chino is authorized to manage all risks associated with local government operations, including general liability, workers’ compensation, claims against the City and lawsuits.
Since 2007, the City has maintained stand-alone insurance coverage and utilizes an insurance broker to procure insurance programs to mitigate significant risks that could otherwise impact the City’s ability to operate and provide services to the community. The City’s current insurance broker is AON Risk Insurance Services West.
As the cost of claims continues to increase, insufficient coverage may expose the City to significant financial risk. To ensure the City remains properly protected, staff conducted a comprehensive review and analysis of th e City’s existing insurance portfolio and compared it to four Joint Powers Insurance Authorities (JPAs) commonly used by California cities, counties, and special districts.
ISSUES/ANALYSIS
During the February 10, 2026, Study Session, City staff present ed to the City Council a comprehensive overview of the City’s current insurance programs and four JPAs: the California Joint Powers Risk Management Authority (CJPRMA), California Intergovernmental Risk Authority (CIRA), Public Entity Risk Management Author ity (PERMA), and Public Risk Innovation, Solutions, and Management (PRISM).
The presentation highlighted the benefits and key considerations associated with joining a JPA.
Benefits include reduced exposure to catastrophic losses, access to specialized le gal and risk management resources, and opportunities for member involvement in governance and oversight. Key considerations include shared liability for losses incurred by other members, the possibility of future assessments or increased contributions, red uced autonomy over certain coverage decisions, and mandatory advance notice for withdrawing from a JPA.
In addition, City staff presented a thorough overview and comparison of the out-of- pocket deductibles and limits provided by the City’s current insura nce carriers and each of the four JPAs. The intent of the comparison was to find alternative insurance that reduces the City’s out-of-pocket deductibles while maintaining the same, or higher, coverage limits under a JPA.
Based on this analysis, staff recommended pursuing membership with PRISM. Participation in PRISM would strengthen the City’s overall risk management program while providing enhanced financial protection through risk pooling, reduced out-of-pocket deductibles, and greater comprehensive coverage. In addition, many
JPAs already purchase coverage through PRISM, giving the City direct access to this coverage while avoiding extra administrative fees that other JPAs may charge.
At the conclusion of the Study Session, the City Council direct ed staff to proceed with pursuing PRISM membership effective July 1, 2026.

(c) Member county directors shall consist of a minimum of 80% of the eligible voting members on the Board of Directors. The public entity member directors shall be reduced accordingly to ensure at least 80% of the Board of Directors consists of county director members (By way of example, if the number of county members is reduced from the current 54 by member withdrawals to a level of 28, then county members would be at the 80% level, 28/35. If the county members go to 27, then the public entity members would lose one seat and would only have 6 votes).

(b) Program and PRISM Funding. The members developing or participating in an insurance program shall fund all costs of that program, including administrative costs, as hereinafter provided. Costs of staffing and supporting PRISM, hereinafter called PRISM general expenses, shall be equitably allocated among the various programs by the Board of D irectors, and shall be funded by the members developing or participating in such programs in accordance with such allocations, as hereinafter provided. In addition, the Board of Directors may, in its discretion, allocate a share of such PRISM general expense to those members, which are not developing or participating in any program, and require those counties and public entities to fund such share through a prescribed charge.
(1) Annual Premium. Except as provided in ( 2) below, all post -development costs of an insurance program shall be funded by annual premiums charged to the members participating in the program each policy year, and by interest earnings on the funds so accumulated. Such premiums shall be determined by the Board of Directors or the prog ram’s governing committee upon the basis of a cost allocation plan and rating formula developed by PRISM with the assistance of a casualty actuary, risk management consultant, or other qualified person.

(2) Premium Surcharge
(i) If PRISM experiences an unusually large number of losses under a program during a policy year, such that notwithstanding reinsurance coverage for large individual losses, the joint insurance funds for the program may be exhausted before the next annual premiums are due, the Board of Directors or the program’s governing committee may, upon consultation with a casualty actuary, impose premium surcharges on all participating members; or
150
JPA, PRISM Amended: June 30, 2020
(ii) If it is determined by the Board of Directors or the program’s governing committee, upon consultation with a casualty actuary, that the joint insurance funds for a program are insufficient to pay losses, fund known estimated losses, and fund estimated losses , which have been incurred but not reported, the Board of Directors or the program’s governing committee may impose a surcharge on all participating members. (iii) Premium surcharges imposed pursuant to (i) and/or (ii) ab ove shall be in an amount which will assure adequate funds for the program to be actuarially sound; provided that the surcharge to any participating member shall not exceed an amount equal to three (3) times the member’s annual premium for that year, unles s otherwise determined by the Board of Directors or the program’s governing committee.
Provided, however, that no premium surcharge in excess of three times the member’s annual premium for that year may be assessed unless, ninety days prior to the Board o f Directors taking action to determine the amount of the surcharge, PRISM notifies the governing body of each participating member in writing of its recommendations regarding its intent to assess a premium surcharge and the amount recommended to be assessed each member. PRISM shall, concurrently with the written notification, provide each participating member with a copy of the actuarial study upon which the recommended premium surcharge is based.
(iv) A member which is no longer a participating membe r at the time the premium surcharge is assessed, but which was a participating member during the policy year(s) for which the premium surcharge was assessed, shall pay such premium surcharges as it would have otherwise been assessed in accordance with the provisions of (i), (ii), and (iii) above.
(c) Program Implementation and Effective Date. Upon establishment of an insurance program by the Board of Directors, PRISM shall determine the manner of program implementation and shall give written notice to all members of such program, which shall include, but not be limited to: program participation levels, coverages and terms of coverage of the program, estimates of first year premium charges, effective date of the program (or estimated effective date) and su ch other program provisions as deemed appropriate.

A member which does not elect to enter an insurance program upon its implementation, pursuant to (c) above, or a county or public entity which becomes a party to this Agre ement following implementation of the program, may petition the Board of Directors for late entry into the program. Such request may be granted upon a majority vote of the Board of Directors members, plus a majority vote of those board members who represe nt participants in the program. Alternatively, a county or public entity may petition the Executive Committee for late entry into the program , or a program committee, when authorized by an MOU governing that specific program, may approve late entry into th at program.

(e) Reentry Into A Program. Except as otherwise provided in a Program Memorandum of Understanding, any county or public entity that is a memb er of an insurance program of PRISM who withdraws or is cancelled from an insurance program under Articles 21 and 22, may not reenter such insurance program for a period of three years from the effective date of withdrawal or cancellation.
