CHINO BASIN DESALTER AUTHORITY
Council Representative: Curtis Burton | Staff Report By: Pete Vicario Meeting Date: April 28, 2026
The Chino Basin Desalter Authority (CDA) reported that 458.182 acre-feet of water was delivered to the City of Chino in March.
The CDA Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) recommended the following, all of which were approved:
Approval of the Chino Basin Desalter Authority’s Reserve Policy as submitted; and Adopt Resolution 2026-01 approving the CDA’s Revised Reserve Policy. The current Reserve Policy was adopted by the Board on September 4, 2025 and requiresstaff to conduct a periodic review of each reserve component to assess whether any updates or adjustments are warranted. Maintaining adequate reserves ensures the availability of financial resources to address unforeseen events and operational needs, serving as a financial safeguard for the Authority. There is no impact on the current fiscal year budget. Approval of a purchase order with DWS Advantage for $385,980 for the purchase and delivery of resin for the Chino I and Chino II facilities. The Chino I and Chino II Ion Exchange (IX) Treatment Systems require the purchase of replacement resin to maintain treatment performance, restore manufacturerrecommended operating levels, and return one vessel to service. Following the rejection of all bids received under the initial RFQ due to deviations from the specifications, a second RFQ was advertised through PlanetBids, resulting in five bids, including one non-responsive bid submitted by Brenntag Pacific LLC, which did not meet the RFQ requirements. DWS Advantage was determined to be the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Funding for this purchase will be drawn from the Chino Basin Desalter Authority’s Resin Reserve, which has a current balance of $500,000. Approval of a purchase order to FilmTec Corporation (DuPont) for $543,312 for the procurement of reverse osmosis membrane elements. The Chino Basin Desalter Authority (CDA) requires the periodic replacement of reverse osmosis (RO) membrane elements and related components at the Chino I and Chino II Desalter facilities to maintain treatment performance, water quality, and operational reliability.
Funding for this procurement will be provided from CDA’s Membrane Reserve, which currently has an available balance of $600,000, sufficient to cover the cost of this purchase. Approval of the continued use of SRK Engineering, Ferreira Coastal Construction Company, TE Roberts, Metro Builders and Engineers Group, and Schuler Constructors, which were originally approved on January 13, 2022 to provide on-call general contractor services supporting capital improvement and emergency construction projects. These contractors have successfully completed multiple CDA projects and repairs, including the Chino I RO Train Upgrades, chlorine tank replacements, ion-exchange piping replacements, vessel manway improvements, and the expansion of the Chino II-1 Well Site. Based on their continued strong performance, staff recommends extending the use of these contractors for ongoing on-call services, as reviewed and approved by the Technical Advisory Committee and Finance Committee in April 2026. Projects awarded under this on-call contract will be funded by the approved FY CIP budget or by Capital Replacement/Emergency Reserve funds. Approval of a professional services agreement with Cannon for engineering design and construction phase services in an amount not-to-exceed $770,000. This contract provides for the engineering design of the Well II-13 equipping project, including well pump, wellhead piping and equipment, site 16 MONTHLY AGENCY REPORTS – JUNE 16, 2026 (Covering Meetings from 4/1/26 – 4/30/26) PAGE 3 improvements, and approximately 4,500 linear feet of raw water transmission pipeline to deliver groundwater supply to the Chino II Desalter. The item was reviewed and recommended for approval by the Technical Advisory Committee and Finance Committee in April 2026. Funding for this project will be funded from the Specific/Identified Capital Reserve for the New Chino II Well, which currently has an available balance of approximately $12 million.
Approval to award a contract to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, Best Drilling and Pump, Inc., for the Drilling, Construction, Development, and Testing of CDA Well II-13 in the not-to-exceed amount of $1,700,000. This contract provides for the drilling, construction, development, and testing of Extraction Well II-13, which will supply groundwater to the Chino II Desalter. This recommendation was reviewed by the TAC on April 28, 2026, and the Finance Committee on April 30, 2026. Funding to cover the contract amount has been budgeted in the Capital Improvement Program.
Next anticipated meeting date: May 21, 2026
CHINO BASIN WATERMASTER
Council Representative: Curtis Burton | Staff Report By: Benjamin Orosco Meeting Date: April 23, 2026
Business Item A – Review and Discussion of Watermaster Rules and Regulations – Section 2.10 The Board continued discussion regarding Watermaster Rule 2.10 and the recommendation to form an ad hoc committee to further review the policy. Discussion centered on conflict-of-interest provisions, Board member participation in confidential sessions, and whether revisions or additional clarification to the current Rules and Regulations may be appropriate.
Discussion focused on transparency, disclosure requirements, perceived versus actual conflicts of interest, and how Board members often represent agencies or stakeholder interests while serving on Watermaster. Several members also raised concerns regarding the balance between maintaining stakeholder representation and preserving Watermaster’s role as a neutral arm of the Court. Ontario’s prior correspondence requesting additional conflict-of-interest safeguards and recusal requirements for Board members involved in litigationrelated matters was also referenced during the discussion.
The Board discussed the recommendation previously supported by the Appropriative Pool, Overlying NonAgricultural Pool, and Advisory Committee to establish an ad hoc committee consisting of representatives from the various Pools and interested stakeholders. The committee would review the existing Rule 2.10 language, evaluate potential revisions or clarifications, and return recommendations through the Watermaster committee process for future Board consideration.
This item was for discussion only. No formal action was taken.
Engineer Report Item 1 – 2025 Safe Yield Reevaluation
Watermaster’s Engineer provided an update regarding the ongoing 2025 Safe Yield Reevaluation process. The update included discussion of technical evaluations and continued refinement of groundwater basin modeling for the Safe Yield reevaluation effort.
17 MONTHLY AGENCY REPORTS – JUNE 16, 2026 (Covering Meetings from 4/1/26 – 4/30/26) PAGE 4 The Engineer reported that additional technical review and model refinement work remain ongoing as part of the reevaluation process. Discussion included coordination on groundwater modeling assumptions, basin conditions, and the continued review of technical information supporting the development of the updated Safe Yield analysis.
The Board was also informed of upcoming workshops and ongoing stakeholder discussions related to the 2025 Safe Yield Reevaluation process. Staff noted that additional technical information and revised draft materials are expected to be presented at future workshops and committee meetings as the reevaluation effort progresses.

SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY SOLID WASTE ADVISORY TASK FORCE
Council Representative: Christopher Flores | Staff Report By: Xochitl Huerta Meeting Date: April 15, 2026
22 MONTHLY AGENCY REPORTS – JUNE 16, 2026 (Covering Meetings from 4/1/26 – 4/30/26) PAGE 9 Public Works staff attended the Solid Waste Advisory Task Force (SWAT) meeting in April, which included updates on legislation, SWAT formation, and the Circular Action Alliance.
The legislative update covered several Assembly and Senate bills, including AB 762, AB 1153, AB 2076, AB 2100, AB 2245, AB 2253, AB 2462, AB 2559, and SB 758, SB 922, SB 936, SB 1230, and SB 1371. These bills primarily relate to solid waste, recycling program requirements, and potential operational and funding impacts to local jurisdictions, and will continue to be monitored.
The SWAT formation discussion provided background on the group's purpose, citing Public Resources Code Section 70950(c), which supports coordination among jurisdictions and regional agencies for the implementation of solid waste and recycling programs. The group aims to improve collaboration, consistency, and information sharing among agencies.
The Circular Action Alliance, the Producer Responsibility Organization under SB 54, provided updates on program development. This initiative is expected to shift certain recycling program costs from local jurisdictions to producers and may provide future funding opportunities for cities. Additional details and timelines are still being finalized.
Next anticipated meeting date: TBD, October 2026
SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY ( SBCTA) BOARD OF DIRECTORS Council Representative: Eunice Ulloa | Staff Report By: Dennis Ralls Meeting Date: April 1, 2026
The Board received a staff report considering adopting a position opposing AB 1678 by Assemblymember John Harabedian. AB 1678 would establish the Claremontclair Authority with the intent of constructing the LA County Metro A Line from the City of Claremont in LA County to the City of Montclair in San Bernardino County.
SBCTA had previously withdrawn from the Gold Line Construction Authority due to concerns about open-ended financial obligations to LA Metro that lacked sufficient SBCTA Board authority. This resulted in the remaining improvements of the Metrolink Gold Line from LA County to the City of Montclair being unable to be completed. SBCTA instead directed the allocated funding toward other methods to increase mass transit options between Montclair and LA County. The Board approved opposing AB 1678.

SANTA ANA WATERSHED Project Authority (SAWPA) ADVISORY COUNCIL Council Representative: Karen Comstock | Staff Report By: Benjamin Orosco Meeting Date: April 7, 2026
Business Item 6A – Inland Empire Brine Line Reach IV-D City of Chino Euclid Bridge Project - The Project Agreement 24 Committee reviewed and approved a Memorandum of Understanding between SAWPA and the City of Chino associated with the relocation of Brine Line Reach IV-D as part of the City of Chino’s Euclid Bridge Project. The Euclid Bridge Project is intended to provide elevated roadway access through the Prado inundation area to maintain access during flood events.
SAWPA staff explained that the existing brine line alignment conflicts with proposed bridge improvements, including bridge pilings, retaining walls, and roadway fill areas. Multiple protection and relocation alternatives were evaluated, with full relocation of the brine line identified as the preferred option to improve long-term operational reliability, maintenance access, and future infrastructure capacity.
Under the proposed agreement, the City of Chino will serve as the lead agency for CEQA compliance, environmental review, right-of-way acquisition, and project coordination, while SAWPA will retain ownership and operational responsibility for the relocated brine line facilities. Estimated construction costs for the relocation project are currently approximately $5.6 million, with construction anticipated between mid-2028 and late-2030.

TITLE: GOVERNMENT RELATIONS UPDATE FOR JUNE 16, 2026.
PAGE: 2
BACKGROUND
On April 2, 2024, the City Council adopted the Citywide Legislative Policy, which outlines guiding principles organized by legislative, policy, and regulatory matters. It supplements the Citywide Strategic Plan to build an effective and flexible legislative advocacy strategy.
The Policy authorizes Staff to formulate and approve official City responses for those legislative items with potentially significant impact on the City or that create an issue of timeliness for an official response, with the qualification that the position is determined to be consistent with the City’s legislative policy.
Per the Policy, the Committee or Staff is to report to the City Council on any updates, recommendations, or actions taken by the Committee or Staff.
ISSUES/ANALYSIS
The Government Relations Update provides a review of major legislative and government relations issues of note to the City (Attachment 1).
The Tracked State Legislation report is included in Attachment 2.
City position letters since the last report are included in Attachment 3. 44 1

GOVERNMENT RELATIONS UPDATE (Attachment 1)
As of June 11, 2026 (June 16, 2026 City Council Meeting)
FEDERAL UPDATE
Congressional Calendar
The House and Senate both plan to be in session for most of June. The House will be in recess June 12 until the 22nd for the federal Juneteenth Holiday on June 19, the day that in 1865 when Union troops arrived in Galveston, Texas, and announced to enslaved Black Americans that they were free, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued. The Senate will not be in session from June 29 to July 2; the House is scheduled to be in session.
The House only has 40 days in session between now and Election Day.
Status of City of Chino Funding Requests for Federal FY 2027 DENIED - Heritage Park Upgrades and Infrastructure Improvements Project - $4 million in Congressionally Directed Spending requested from Senator Alex Padilla and Senator Adam Schiff.
Senators Alex Padilla and Adam Schiff released their FY27 Congressionally Designated Spending (earmark) requests. Neither Padilla nor Schiff requested funding for the City’s park project. City staff met earlier this year with Senator Padilla’s district staff. To strengthen the City’s project priorities for the next round of Congressional Districted Spending (earmarks), district staff for both Senator Padilla and Senator Schiff will be invited to the City and tour Chino project priorities in the next couple of months.
New Congressional Districts
In light of the new congressional district lines that take effect in January 2027, the City’s federal advocate will reach out to Congressman Gil Cisneros, whose district encompasses the majority of the City of Chino.
Federal Housing Legislation
The timing of an amended housing bill, the ROAD to Housing Act, that senior House Republicans were hoping to quickly move to a floor vote, remains uncertain as leadership continues to work through text and find a path toward White House support. The Senate chamber has passed various versions of the bill, but House GOP leadership is focused on including additional provisions that the Senate measure does not include. The Senate passed major housing legislation in March (HR 6644), designed to expand housing supply and lower costs. The Senate took up a bill the House had passed in February, combined much of it with a similar Senate bill (S 2651), and added the provision that would mostly ban institutional investors' ownership of homes.
The investor piece has drawn strong criticism from a number of housing trade groups and 45 2
caused concerns among House Republicans. Financial Services ranking member Maxine Waters, along with Financial Services Committee Chairman French Hill, is working to add back House provisions that were stripped from the Senate bill. House leaders are also looking at a Senate bill provision that would temporarily ban a central bank digital currency. House conservatives want a permanent ban.
Federal FY 2027 Budget
The House is moving its appropriation bills. The House Appropriations Committee has reported ten of the twelve spending bills to the House. Only the Labor-HHS-Education and Homeland Security bills have not been marked up. The House has passed the Military Construction-VA and the Agriculture bills.
Senate appropriators had planned to start their fiscal year (FY) 2027 markups on June 4; however, that plan was pulled. The Senate still has no top-line spending number and, consequently, no subcommittee allocations. Also, flare-ups with the anti-weaponization fund, the White House ballroom, and funding ICE and CBP during the floor consideration of the budget reconciliation bill complicated consideration.
The budget reconciliation bill to fund ICE and CBP
As a reminder, budget reconciliation is a process that allows legislation related to the federal budget to bypass the filibuster, allowing these bills to pass the Senate with a simple majority rather than the typical 60-vote threshold. The nearly $72 billion bill, which would fund Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP), underwent a marathon 18-hour vote-a-rama, in which Senators offered and debated various amendments. The measure was eventually approved by a vote of 52-47 and will now move to the House for consideration. The Senate had hoped to get the bill to the President by June 1.
The House unexpectedly left D.C. early before voting on the measure. It was rumored that there might be attendance problems in the House.
TRACKED STATE LEGISLATION REPORTS
The report on tracked state legislation, sorted by subject, is included in Attachment 2. Staff has identified 104 bills of potential interest to the City that have met the necessary legislative deadlines to date. Bills are also added and removed from tracking based on lists provided by associations, such as the League of California Cities, staff input, and current bill language.
The positions noted on bills are based on the City Council's adopted Legislative Policy.
Additional positions may be taken, or existing positions may be modified based on direction from the Legislative Committee or City Council. Bills sponsored by the League of California Cities are noted in the reports.

Location: 06/03/2026 - Senate Elections and Constitutional Amendments Summary: The Political Reform Act of 1974 provides for the comprehensive regulation of campaign financing, including requiring the reporting of campaign contributions and expenditures and imposing other reporting and recordkeeping requirements on campaign committees. This bill would, commencing January 1, 2029, require a candidate for elective office with a candidate controlled committee to complete a training course on the requirements of the Political Reform Act of 1974 with respect to campaigns for the office for which they intend to be a candidate. For a candidate who does not complete the training, the bill would prohibit the candidate controlled committee from receiving contributions until the candidate completes the training.

AB 2573 (Sharp-Collins, D) Voter registration information: elected officials and candidates.
Current Text: 05/19/2026 - Amended HTML PDF
Status: 06/10/2026 - Referred to Com. on E. & C.A.
Location: 06/10/2026 - Senate Elections and Constitutional Amendments Summary: Under existing law, the residence address, telephone number, and email address of a registered voter is confidential, except that under certain circumstances a county elections official must disclose that information to any candidate for federal, state, or local office, to any committee for or against any initiative or referendum measure, and to any person for election, scholarly, journalistic, political, or governmental purposes.
Existing law exempts from that disclosure requirement the residence address, telephone number, and email address of a federal, state, or local elected official or candidate, unless the official or candidate opts out or the information is sought for bona fide journalistic or governmental purposes. This bill would recast the provisions creating that exemption. The bill would permit the information of an elected official’s immediate family member who lives at the same residence to be made confidential. For an elected official or candidate’s residence address, telephone number, and email address to be confidential, the elected official or candidate would be required to make a written request to the county elections official, and a candidate would also need to qualify to appear on the ballot. The Secretary of State would be required to notify county elections officials when a state or federal candidate qualifies to appear on the ballot, and it would require county elections officials to notify the Secretary of State under certain circumstances if the confidential designation is added to, or removed from, a federal or state elected official or candidate’s voter registration record.

Location: 06/01/2026 - Assembly Elections
Summary: The federal Voting Rights Act of 1965 requires a state or political subdivision in which more than 5% of voting-age citizens, or more than 10,000 voting-age citizens, are members of a single language minority and limited-English proficient to provide certain election materials, including ballots, in the language of the applicable language minority group. Existing state law requires the Secretary of State to determine for each county and precinct whether it is appropriate to provide facsimile copies of the ballot and other election materials in languages other than English. If the Secretary of State determines the number of voting age residents in a county or precinct who are members of a single language minority, and who lack sufficient skills in English to vote without assistance, is 3% or more of the voting-age residents of the county or precinct, county elections officials must provide facsimile ballots and other election materials in the applicable language. This bill would require the Secretary of State, on or before December 15, 2028, and on or before December 15 in every year ending in 1 or 6 thereafter, to identify the counties where at least 5,000 voting age citizens, or 5% of voting age citizens, are limited English proficient and either members of a single language minority group or speak a shared language.
The bill would require the elections official in an identified political subdivision to provide translated election materials in any language that meets those criteria or, for an election occurring before December 15, 2028, in any language in which the political subdivision is required to provide language assistance under the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

Summary: Existing law requires the board of supervisors of each county, following each decennial federal census, and using that census as a basis, to adjust the boundaries of any or all of the supervisorial districts of the county so that the districts are as nearly equal in population as possible and comply with applicable federal law, and specifies the procedures the board of supervisors must follow in adjusting those boundaries. Existing law establishes independent redistricting commissions in the Counties of Los Angeles, San Diego, Orange, Riverside, San Luis Obispo, Kern, Fresno, and Sacramento, which are charged with adjusting the supervisorial district boundaries for their respective counties. This bill would establish the Citizens Redistricting Commission in the County of San Bernardino, which would be charged with adjusting the boundary lines of the districts of the Board of Supervisors of the County of San Bernardino. The commission would consist of 14 commissioners who meet specified qualifications. This bill would require the commission to adjust the boundaries of the supervisorial districts in accordance with specified criteria and adopt a redistricting plan in accordance with existing deadlines for the adoption of county supervisorial district boundaries. The bill would create specified procedures by which the commission may remove a commissioner. (Based on 05/14/2026 text) Position: Oppose

Current law requires a member to satisfy specified requirements to participate in a meeting remotely pursuant to these alternative teleconferencing provisions, including that specified circumstances apply. Current law establishes limits on the number of meetings a member may participate in solely by teleconference from a remote location pursuant to these alternative teleconferencing provisions, including prohibiting such participation for more than 2 meetings per year if the legislative body regularly meets once per month or less. This bill would extend the alternative teleconferencing procedures until January 1, 2030. (Based on 04/21/2025 text)

This bill would establish the Citizens Redistricting Commission in the County of San Bernardino, which would be charged with adjusting the boundary lines of the districts of the Board of Supervisors of the County of San Bernardino. The commission would consist of 14 commissioners who meet specified qualifications. This bill would require the commission to adjust the boundaries of the supervisorial districts in accordance with specified criteria and adopt a redistricting plan in accordance with existing deadlines for the adoption of county supervisorial district boundaries. The bill would create specified procedures by which the commission may remove a commissioner. (Based on 05/14/2026 text) Position: Oppose

Summary: Current law that governs the labor relations of public employees and employers, including, among others, the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act, the Ralph C. Dills Act, provisions relating to public schools, and provisions relating to higher education, prohibits employers from taking certain actions relating to employee organization, including imposing or threatening to impose reprisals on employees, discriminating or threatening to discriminate against employees, or otherwise interfering with, restraining, or coercing employees because of their exercise of their guaranteed rights. Those provisions of current law further prohibit denying to employee organizations the rights guaranteed to them by current law. This bill would prohibit a public employer from questioning a public employee, a representative of a recognized employee organization, or an exclusive representative regarding communications made in confidence between an employee and an employee representative in connection with representation relating to any matter within the scope of the recognized employee organization’s representation.

Location: 05/06/2026 - Senate Labor, Public Employment and Retirement Summary: The Public Employees’ Retirement Law (PERL) establishes the Public Employees’ Retirement System (PERS) to provide a defined benefit to members of the system based on final compensation, credited service, and age at retirement, subject to certain variations. Existing law creates the Public Employees’ Retirement Fund, which is continuously appropriated for purposes of PERS, including depositing employer and employee contributions. Under the California Constitution, assets of a public pension or retirement system are trust funds. The California Public Employees’ Pension Reform Act of 2013 (PEPRA) establishes a variety of requirements and restrictions on public employers offering defined benefit pension plans. In this regard, PEPRA restricts the amount of compensation that may be applied for purposes of calculating a defined pension benefit for a new member, as defined, by restricting it to specified percentages of the contribution and benefit base under a specified federal law with respect to old age, survivors, and disability insurance benefits. Existing law, the Teachers’ Retirement Law, establishes the State Teachers’ Retirement System (STRS) and creates the Defined Benefit Program of the State Teachers’ Retirement Plan, which provides a defined benefit to members of the program, based on final compensation, creditable service, and age at retirement, subject to certain variations.
This bill, for service performed on and after January 1, 2027, would prohibit the pensionable compensation for calendar year 2027 used to calculate the defined benefit paid to a new member of a retirement system subject to PEPRA who retires from the system from exceeding specified percentages of the contribution and benefit base under the specified federal law with respect to old age, survivors, and disability insurance benefits.

Location: 06/03/2026 - Senate Labor, Public Employment and Retirement Summary: Existing law provides certain methods for determining workers’ compensation benefits payable to a worker or the worker’s dependents for purposes of permanent total disability or permanent partial disability that include a determination of the percentage of permanent disability incurred. Existing law requires that, for injuries incurred before January 1, 2013, in determining the percentages of permanent disability, account be taken of the nature of the physical injury or disfigurement, the occupation of the injured employee, and the injured employee’s age at the time of the injury, and requires that specified factors be considered in determining an employee’s diminished earning capacity for these purposes. For purposes of these provisions, “nature of the physical injury or disfigurement” incorporates the descriptions and measurements of physical impairment and the corresponding percentages of impairments published in the American Medical Association (AMA) Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment (5th Edition). For injuries occurring on or after January 1, 2013, in determining the percentages of permanent disability, existing law requires the same factors be taken into account but removes from consideration the employee’s diminished future earning capacity and, instead, incorporates an adjustment factor of 1.4, as specified. Existing law also establishes the Subsequent Injuries Benefits Trust Fund, a continuously appropriated fund. Under existing law, if a permanently, partially disabled employee receives a subsequent compensable injury resulting in additional permanent disability, then that employee receives compensation from the Subsequent Injuries Benefits Trust Fund. Existing law requires, when applicable, the additional permanent disability resulting from the subsequent injury to be equal to 35% or more of total, when considered alone and without regard to, or adjustment for, the occupation or the age of the employee. For purposes of determining permanent disability resulting from a subsequent injury, this bill would measure permanent disability, for injuries occurring on or after January 1, 2005, and prior to January 1, 2013, by the whole person impairment rating as determined in accordance with the AMA Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment (5th Edition), after adjustment for diminished future earning capacity and without regard to, or adjustment for, the occupation or age of the employee.

Existing law authorizes one or more representative parties to bring suit for the benefit of a class of parties if the question is one of a common or general interest, of many persons, or when the parties are numerous, and it is impracticable to bring them all before the court. This bill would authorize an employer to seek a workplace violence restraining order on behalf of all employees at the employer’s workplace or a location at which a group of employees perform their primary job duties if harassment, unlawful violence or a credible threat of violence is directed at that workplace or location.

Summary: The Governor’s Reorganization Plan No. 1 of 2025 (GRP), which became effective on July 5, 2025, transfers the Department of Housing and Community Development to the California Housing and Homelessness Agency, which the GRP also establishes, as of July 1, 2026. Existing law, the Multifamily Housing Program, administered by the Department of Housing and Community Development, makes available deferred payment loans to pay for the eligible costs of housing development projects. Existing law specifies particular requirements for projects funded with funds appropriated for supportive housing projects, including, among other things, that supportive housing projects provide or demonstrate collaboration with programs that provide services that meet the needs of the supportive housing residents. Existing law also requires that funds appropriated to provide housing for individuals and families who are experiencing homelessness or who are at risk of homelessness and who are impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic or other communicable diseases be disbursed in accordance with the Multifamily Housing Program for specified uses. This disbursement program is referred to as Homekey.
Existing law, known as the No Place Like Home Program, requires the Department of Housing and Community Development to award $2,000,000,000 among counties to finance capital costs, including, but not limited to, acquisition, design, construction, rehabilitation, or preservation, and to capitalize operating reserves, of permanent supportive housing for the target population, as specified. This bill would establish the California Direct Access to Supportive Housing (DASH) designation, for the purpose of facilitating quick and accountable access to supportive housing units. The bill would, beginning July 1, 2027, require a sponsor of a housing unit that meets prescribed criteria to notify the Department of Housing and Community Development or the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee of the unit’s eligibility for a DASH designation, as specified. The bill would, beginning July 1, 2027, and to the extent not prohibited by federal law, require the department or the committee to apply specified expedited compliance documentation standards for a prospective tenant referred to a DASH unit, as provided.

At least 2 years before a scheduled revision of the housing element, as specified, existing law requires each council of governments, or delegate subregion as applicable, to develop, in consultation with the department, a proposed methodology for distributing the existing and projected regional housing need to jurisdictions, as specified. Current law requires that the final allocation plan ensure that the total regional housing need, by income category, determined as specified, is maintained, and that each jurisdiction in the region receive an allocation of units for low- and very low income households. For the 7th and subsequent revisions of the housing element, current law also requires that the allocation to each region include an allocation of units for acutely low and extremely low income households.
This bill, until January 1, 2032, would require the council of governments, or delegate subregion, as applicable, in developing the proposed allocation methodology that allocates each jurisdiction’s share of the regional housing need for acutely low income housing, to count any newly constructed interim housing, as specified, as meeting the needs of acutely low income households.

Summary: Current law provides for the licensure and regulation of adult alcohol or other drug recovery or treatment facilities by the State Department of Public Health and prohibits the operation of one of those facilities without a current valid license. Current law requires the department, if a facility is alleged to be in violation of that prohibition, to conduct a site visit to investigate the allegation. Current law requires, if the department’s employee or agent finds evidence that the facility is providing services without a license, the employee or agent to take specified actions, including, among others, submitting the findings of the investigation to the department and issuing a written notice to the facility that includes the date by which the facility is required to cease providing services. This bill would require the department, if it determines it has jurisdiction over the allegation, to initiate that investigation within 10 days of receiving the allegation and, except as specified, complete the investigation within 60 days of initiating the investigation. The bill would require the department, if it receives a complaint that does not fall under its jurisdiction, to notify the complainant that it does not investigate that type of complaint. The bill would require the employee or agent to provide the notice described above within 10 days of the employee or agency submitting their findings to the department and to conduct a followup site visit to determine whether the facility has ceased providing services as required. The bill would authorize, in counties that elect to administer the Drug Medi-Cal organized delivery system and that provide optional recovery housing services, the county 58
behavioral health agency to request approval from the department to conduct a site visit of a recovery residence that is alleged to be operating without a license. (Based on 07/17/2025 text) Position: Support

Summary: Current law requires that, except as specified, not less than the general prevailing rate of per diem wages, determined by the Director of Industrial Relations, be paid to workers employed on public works projects.
Current law requires the body awarding a contract for a public work to obtain from the director the general prevailing rate of per diem wages for work of a similar character in the locality in which the public work is to be 61
performed, and the general prevailing rate of per diem wages for holiday and overtime work, for each craft, classification, or type of worker needed to execute the contract. Under current law, if the director determines during any quarterly period that there has been a change in any prevailing rate of per diem wages in a locality, the director is required to make that change available to the awarding body and their determination is final. Under current law, that determination does not apply to public works contracts for which the notice to bidders has been published. This bill would instead state, commencing July 1, 2027, that if the director determines, within a semiannual period, that there is a change in any prevailing rate of per diem wages in a locality, that determination applies to any public works contract that is awarded or for which notice to bidders is published after July 1, 2027.
The bill would authorize any contractor, awarding body, or specified representative affected by a change in rates on a particular contract to, within 20 days, file with the director a verified petition to review the determination of that rate, as specified. The bill would require the director to, upon notice to the interested parties, initiate an investigation or hold a hearing, and, within 20 days after the filing of that petition, except as specified, make a final determination and transmit the determination in writing to the awarding body and to the interested parties.

Summary: The Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982 authorizes a local agency, as defined, to initiate proceedings to establish a community facilities district as an alternative method of financing certain public capital facilities and services, especially in developing areas undergoing rehabilitation, only if it has first considered and adopted local goals and policies, as prescribed. Existing law authorizes a local agency to take any actions or make any determinations which it determines are necessary or convenient to carry out the purposes of the act and which are not otherwise prohibited by law. This bill would prohibit the legislative body of a local agency from taking certain actions with respect to a critical housing infrastructure district, as defined, including abandoning the proposed establishment of the district, as specified, unless prior to taking the action it makes findings based upon substantial evidence that, among other things, establishment of the district, levying the special taxes, or incurring bonded indebtedness, as applicable, would, among other things, have a specific adverse impact upon the public interest. The bill would specify that these provisions do not require or prohibit the legislative body from taking any other action authorized by the act with respect to a critical housing infrastructure district, as specified.

Summary: Existing law creates the Commission on State Mandates and establishes procedures for implementing the requirement in the California Constitution that the state reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Existing law makes a reimbursement claim for actual costs filed by a local agency or school district subject to the initiation of an audit by the Controller and authorizes the 63
Controller to make a field review of a claim after it has been submitted but before it has been reimbursed. Existing law requires the Controller to notify the claimant in writing within 30 days after issuance of a remittance advice of any adjustment to a claim for reimbursement that results from an audit or review.

Summary: Existing law authorizes any person adversely affected by any regulation, rules, omission, interpretation, decision, or practice of any state agency respecting the administration of any building standard to appeal the issue for resolution to the California Building Standards Commission. Existing law authorizes any local agency having authority to enforce a state building standard and any person adversely affected by any regulation, rule, omission, interpretation, decision, or practice of that agency respecting that building standard to appeal to the commission, provided that both wish to appeal the issue for resolution to the commission. Existing law authorizes the commission to accept those appeals only if the commission determines that the issues involved in the appeal have statewide significance. This bill would revise and recast those provisions to expand the reasons for which a person can appeal to the commission to include, among other things, being adversely affected by any building standard or local amendment to a building standard or any reasonable interpretation of the California Building Standards Code. The bill would expand the conditions under which the commission may accept an appeal by removing the requirement that both the local agency and the adversely affected person wish to appeal the issue, and by revising the required statewide significance determination of the commission to instead only require that statewide significance to be potential, as provided.

Summary: The California Factory-Built Housing Law requires all factory-built housing after a specified date that is sold or offered for sale to first users within the state to bear insignia of approval issued by the department, 66
deems that housing to comply with the requirements of all ordinances or regulations enacted by any city, city and county, county, or district that may be applicable to the construction of housing, as specified, and prohibits a city, city and county, county, and district from requiring submittal of plans for any factory-built housing manufactured, or to be manufactured pursuant to these provisions, as specified. Current law requires the department to provide by regulation for the qualification and disqualification of design approval agencies to perform approval of factorybuilt housing plans and specifications and makes approval by these agencies the equivalent of department approval. The law provides that any person who violates any of these provisions and other specified law is guilty of a misdemeanor, as specified. This bill would require plans or specifications of factory-built housing approved pursuant to these provisions to be approved by unit serial number and would authorize the approved plans or specifications to be used in subsequent development projects unless building standards relating to factory-built housing are modified, as specified.

Summary: The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) 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 exempts from its requirements various projects, including, but not limited to, housing projects that meet certain requirements. This bill would exempt from the requirements of CEQA a housing development project, as defined, that meets certain conditions relating to, for example, size, density, and location, including specific requirements for any housing on the project site located within 500 feet of a freeway. The bill would require a local government, as a condition of approval for the development, to require the development proponent to complete a specified environmental assessment regarding hazardous substance releases. If a recognized environmental condition is found, the bill would require the development proponent to complete a preliminary endangerment assessment and specified mitigation based on that assessment. Because a lead agency would be required to determine whether a housing development project qualifies for this exemption, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program.

Summary: The Planning and Zoning Law requires a local agency, as defined, to compile one or more lists that specify in detail the information required from any applicant for a postentitlement phase permit, as defined.
Current law also establishes time limits for completing reviews regarding whether an application for a postentitlement phase permit is complete and compliant, and whether to approve or deny an application. If a local agency finds that a complete application is noncompliant, existing law requires the local agency to provide the applicant with a list of items that are noncompliant and a description of how the application can be remedied by the applicant within specified time limits. Current law requires the time limits to be tolled, if the local agency requires review of the application by an outside entity, until the outside entity completes the review and returns the application to the local agency, as specified. This bill would prohibit the local agency from requiring or requesting more than 2 plan check and specification reviews in connection with an application for a building permit, as part of its review, except as specified. The bill would authorize a local agency to deny an application that is not compliant with the permit standards following 2 plan check and specification reviews. The bill would also authorize an applicant to request additional submittals of applications that are not compliant with the permit standards. The bill, if a local agency finds that a complete application is noncompliant, would prohibit a local agency from requesting or requiring any action or inaction as a result of a building inspection undertaken to assess compliance with the applicable building permit standards that would represent a deviation from a previously approved building plan or similar approval for the building permit, except as specified.

Current law defines various terms, including “21st century warehouse,” and “tier 1 21st century warehouse,” for purposes of those provisions as logistics uses that, among other things, comply with specified building and energy efficiency standards, including requirements related to the availability of conduits and electrical hookups to power climate control equipment at loading bays, as specified. Current law, subject to specified exceptions, defines “logistics use” for these purposes to mean a building in which cargo, goods, or products are moved or stored for later distribution to business or retail customers, or both, that does not predominantly serve retail customers for onsite purchases, and heavy-duty trucks are primarily involved in the 68
movement of the cargo, goods, or products. This bill would clarify that a 21st century warehouse and a tier 1 21st century warehouse are required to comply with those standards as are in effect at the time that the building permit for a development of a 21st century warehouse is issued and make other clarifying changes relating to permissibility of use of conduits and electrical hookups at loading bays at those locations. The bill would revise the definition of “logistics use” and instead define “logistics use development” for these purposes to mean a building that is primarily used as a warehouse for the movement or the storage of cargo, goods, or products that are moved to business or retail customers, or both, that does not predominantly serve retail customers for onsite purchases, and heavy-duty trucks are primarily involved in the movement of the cargo, goods, or products.

Summary: Existing law provides that recorded covenants, conditions, restrictions, or private limits on the use of land contained in instruments affecting the transfer or sale of any interest in real property that, among other things, restrict or prohibit the residential uses of the property, are not enforceable against the owner of a housing development if an approved restrictive covenant housing modification document has been recorded in the public record, as provided. As part of this process, existing law requires the owner to submit to the county recorder a copy of the original restrictive covenant and any documents the owner believes necessary to establish that the property qualifies as a housing development and requires the county counsel to determine, among other things, if the property qualifies as a housing development and if a modification document may be recorded. Existing law defines “housing development,” for purposes of these provisions, as a development located on the property that is the subject of the recorded restrictive covenant and meets one of 3 sets of specified requirements. One set requires the property to be owned or controlled by an entity or individual that has submitted a development project application to redevelop an existing commercial property, and the development project includes residential uses permitted by state housing laws or local land use and zoning regulations. This bill would narrow the housing developments that qualify for removing use restrictions on an existing commercial property, as described above, by excluding a development project within a charter city that meets 3 criteria. For that exclusion, the bill would require the charter city to have a population size between 200,000 and 400,000 and a housing element that is in substantial compliance with the housing element law, as specified.

Current law requires each local agency, by January 1, 2025, to develop a program for the preapproval of accessory dwelling unit plans. This bill would require each local agency, as defined, to develop a program for the preapproval of single-family and multifamily residential housing plans, whereby the local agency accepts single-family and multifamily plan submissions for preapproval and approves or denies the preapproval applications, as specified. The bill would require a large jurisdiction, as defined, to develop this program by July 1, 2026, and a small jurisdiction, as defined, to develop a program by January 1, 2028.

Summary: The Housing Accountability Act prohibits a local agency from disapproving, or conditioning approval in a manner that renders infeasible, a housing development project, as defined for purposes of the act, for very low, low-, or moderate-income households or an emergency shelter unless the local agency makes specified written findings based on a preponderance of the evidence in the record. The act provides that for its purposes, a housing development project or emergency shelter shall be deemed consistent, compliant, and in conformity with an applicable plan, program, policy, ordinance, standard, requirement, or other similar provision if there is substantial evidence that would allow a reasonable person to conclude that the housing development project or emergency shelter is consistent, compliant, or in conformity.

Summary: The Planning and Zoning Law contains various provisions requiring a local government that receives an application for certain types of qualified housing developments to review the application under a streamlined, ministerial approval process, depending on the type of housing development, as specified. Existing law, the Subdivision Map Act, vests the authority to regulate and control the design and improvement of subdivisions in the legislative body of a local agency and sets forth procedures governing the local agency’s processing, approval, conditional approval or disapproval, and filing of tentative, final, and parcel maps, and the modification thereof. The act generally requires a subdivider to file a tentative map or vesting tentative map with the local agency, as specified, and the local agency, in turn, to approve, conditionally approve, or disapprove the map within a specified time period. Existing law, known as the Starter Home Revitalization Act of 2021, among other things, requires a local agency to ministerially consider, without discretionary review or a hearing, a parcel map or a tentative and final map for a housing development project that meets certain requirements, including that the housing development project on the lot proposed to be subdivided will contain 10 or fewer residential units, except as provided. This bill, the Missing Middle Townhome Ownership Act, would authorize a development proponent to submit an application for a townhome housing development project that is subject to a prescribed ministerial approval process if the development complies with certain procedural requirements and satisfies specified objective planning standards. The bill would also require a local agency to ministerially consider, without discretionary review or a hearing, a parcel map or a tentative and final map for a townhome development project that meets all of specified requirements, including that the proposed subdivision will result in parcels and residential units that will meet prescribed densities and that the newly created parcels are no smaller than 600 square feet.

Summary: Existing law prescribes requirements for the disposal of surplus land by a local agency. Existing law defines “surplus land” for these purposes to mean land owned in fee simple by any local agency for which the local agency’s governing body takes formal action in a regular public meeting declaring that the land is surplus and is not necessary for the agency’s use. Existing law requires that land be declared either “surplus land” or “exempt surplus land,” as supported by written findings, before a local agency may take any action to dispose of it consistent with an agency’s policies or procedures. Existing law provides that an agency is not required to follow the requirements for the disposal of surplus land for “exempt surplus land.” Existing law defines “exempt surplus land” to include certain types of land. Existing law makes a local agency that disposes of surplus land, in violation of the requirements for the disposal of surplus land after receiving specified notification from the department that the local agency is in violation, liable for a penalty of 30% of the applicable disposition value for a first violation and 50% for any subsequent violation, as provided. This bill would expand the definition of “exempt surplus land” to include certain land owned by the City of Ontario that satisfies specified requirements. The bill would require that these requirements be contained in a covenant or restriction recorded against the surplus land at the time of disposition, as provided. The bill would require that the city meet specified requirements to declare exempt surplus land pursuant to these provisions, including depositing funds from the deposition into a local housingspecific set-aside account, as provided.

Summary: For the 4th and subsequent revisions of the housing element, existing law requires the Department of Housing and Community Development, in consultation with each council of governments, to determine each region’s existing and projected need for housing, and requires the appropriate council of governments, or the department for cities and counties without a council of governments, to adopt a final regional housing plan that allocates a share of the regional housing need to each city, county, or city and county, as provided. Existing law authorizes at least 2 or more cities and a county, or counties, at least 28 months prior to the scheduled housing element revision, to form a subregional entity to allocate the subregion’s existing and projected housing need among its members. If the council of governments does not receive a notification of this formation at least 28 months prior to the update, existing law requires the council of governments to implement specified requirements regarding the regional housing need process. Existing law requires the council of governments to determine the share of regional housing need assigned to each delegate subregion at least 25 months prior to the scheduled revision. This bill would extend the above-described timeline for cities and counties to form a subregional entity to allocate the subregion’s housing need, as provided, from 28 months to 34 months, and the above-described timeline for the council of governments to determine the share of regional housing need assigned to each subregion from 25 months to 31 months, respectively.

Summary: Existing law, known as the Housing Crisis Act of 2019, with respect to land where housing is an allowable use and except as specified, prohibits a county or city, including the electorate exercising its local initiative or referendum power, in which specified conditions exist, determined as provided by the Department of Housing and Community Development, from enacting a development policy, standard, or condition, as defined, that would have certain effects. Under existing law, these proscribed policies, standards, or conditions include, among others, (A) changing the land use designation or zoning of a parcel or parcels of property to a less intensive use or reducing the intensity of land use within an existing zoning district below what was allowed under the general plan or specific plan land use designation and zoning ordinances of the county or city as in effect on January 1, 2018, and (B) imposing or enforcing a moratorium on housing development within all or a portion of the jurisdiction of the county or city, except as provided. Existing law states that these prohibitions apply to any zoning ordinance adopted or amended on or after the effective date of these provisions, and that any development policy, standard, or condition on or after that date that does not comply is deemed void. Existing law prohibits a county or city subject to these provisions from enforcing a zoning ordinance imposing a moratorium or other similar restriction on or limitation of housing development until it has submitted the ordinance to, and received approval from, the Department of Housing and Community Development. Existing law requires the department to approve a zoning ordinance submitted to it only if the department determines that the zoning ordinance satisfies these requirements. If the department denies approval of the zoning ordinance, as specified, existing law states that the ordinance is deemed void. This bill would expand the prohibition against enacting a development policy, standard, or condition that has the effect of imposing or enforcing a moratorium on housing development within all or a portion of the jurisdiction of the county or city to also prohibit these policies, standards, or conditions within the sphere of influence of a city, as defined.

Summary: Current law provides for the licensure and regulation of adult alcohol or other drug recovery or treatment facilities by the State Department of Public Health and prohibits the operation of one of those facilities without a current valid license. Current law requires the department, if a facility is alleged to be in violation of that prohibition, to conduct a site visit to investigate the allegation. Current law requires, if the department’s employee or agent finds evidence that the facility is providing services without a license, the employee or agent to take specified actions, including, among others, submitting the findings of the investigation to the department and issuing a written notice to the facility that includes the date by which the facility is required to cease providing services. This bill would require the department, if it determines it has jurisdiction over the allegation, to initiate that investigation within 10 days of receiving the allegation and, except as specified, complete the investigation within 60 days of initiating the investigation.

The Subdivision Map Act vests the authority to regulate and control the design and improvement of subdivisions in the legislative body of a local agency and sets forth procedures governing the local agency’s processing, approval, conditional approval or disapproval, and filing of tentative, final, and parcel maps. Existing law authorizes a development proponent to submit an application for a housing development project on a subdivided lot, as specified, that meets specified requirements, and requires a local agency to ministerially consider that application, as specified.
Existing law prohibits a local agency from imposing on a housing development on a lot subdivided as specified an objective zoning standard, objective subdivision standard, or objective design standard that, among other things, physically precludes the development of a project built to specified densities. However, with respect to certain lots, existing law allows a local agency to impose a height limit of no less than the height allowed pursuant to the existing zoning designation applicable to the lot.

Current law prohibits a local agency, special district, or water corporation from imposing any impact fee upon the development of an ADU that has 750 square feet of interior livable space or less, and requires any impact fees charged for an ADU that has more than 750 square feet of interior livable space to be charged proportionately in relation to the square footage of the primary dwelling unit. This bill would additionally require the charge to be based only on the area in excess of 750 square feet of interior livable space.

Summary: The California Uniform Controlled Substances Act categorizes controlled substances into 5 schedules and places the greatest restrictions on those substances contained in Schedule I. Under existing law, the substances in Schedule I are deemed to have a high potential for abuse and no accepted medical use while substances in Schedules II through V are substances that have an accepted medical use, but have the potential for abuse. Current law restricts the prescription, furnishing, possession, sale, and use of controlled substances, and makes a violation of those laws a crime, except as specified. Current law defines drug paraphernalia and prohibits, among other things, the manufacture, sale, and possession, as specified, of drug paraphernalia.
Current law excludes from these prohibitions any testing equipment that is designed, marketed, used, or intended to be used to analyze a substance for the presence of fentanyl, ketamine, gamma hydroxybutyric acid, or any analog of fentanyl. This bill would add xylazine to the list of Schedule III substances, as specified. If an animal drug containing xylazine that has been approved under the federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act is not available for sale in California, the bill would create an exception for a substance that is intended to be used to compound 90

Existing law requires the housing element to include, among other things, an assessment of housing needs and an inventory of resources and constraints that are relevant to meeting these needs. Existing law establishes the Homeless Housing, Assistance, and Prevention (HHAP) program for the purpose of providing jurisdictions with grant funds to support regional coordination and expand or develop local capacity to address their immediate homelessness challenges, as specified. Existing law provides for the allocation of funding under the program among continuums of care, cities, counties, and tribes in 6 rounds, with rounds 1 to 5, inclusive, administered by the Interagency Council on Homelessness and round 6 administered by the Department of Housing and Community Development, as provided. Existing law establishes round 7 of the program and states the intent of the Legislature to enact future legislation that specifies the parameters, as specified. For a local government that does not receive HHAP funding, this bill would require the assessment to include, among other things, specified data regarding the population of individuals who are unhoused and a description of key actions that will be taken to reduce individuals who are unhoused based on the data.

Summary: Existing law prohibits a public agency, which includes the state, a city, a county, a city and county, or any agency or political subdivision of the state, a city, a county, or a city and county, including, but not limited to, a law enforcement agency, from selling, sharing, or transferring automated license plate recognition (ALPR) information, except to another public agency, and only as otherwise permitted by law. Existing law defines ALPR information as information or data collected through the use of an ALPR system. This bill would provide that “public agency” does not include a transportation agency, a public transit operator, or a local department of transportation or public works department, as specified. The bill would, beginning January 1, 2027, require new, updated, expansions of, or addendums of contractual agreements with ALPR vendors, manufacturers, or suppliers to mandate that no default access is provided to any national ALPR database and that an agency’s collected scans are by default not accessible to any other agency, and would impose new requirements on sharing between California state law enforcement agencies. The bill would authorize a law enforcement agency to use ALPR information only for purposes of locating vehicles or persons when either are reasonably suspected of being involved in the commission of a public offense or locating an individual who has been reported as missing to a law enforcement agency.

Summary: The California Emergency Services Act requires all public water systems, as defined, with 10,000 or more service connections to review and revise their disaster preparedness plans in conjunction with related agencies, including, but not limited to, local fire departments and the Office of Emergency Services, to ensure that the plans are sufficient to address possible disaster scenarios. A person, as defined, who violates the provisions of this act is guilty of a misdemeanor. This bill, beginning January 1, 2028, would require all urban retail water suppliers, as defined, serving a high or very high fire hazard severity zone to include incident-specific response procedures for wildfires as part of their disaster preparedness plans, including any applicable emergency response plan as required by federal law. The bill would require these plans to include, among other things, mitigation actions, including actions, procedures, and equipment, that can obviate or significantly lessen the impact of a wildfire on the water system and the supply of drinking water provided by the water supplier.
Because violation of these requirements by certain urban retail water suppliers would constitute a misdemeanor, the bill would expand the scope of a crime, thereby imposing a state-mandated local program. (Based on 04/28/2026 text)

Summary: Existing law authorizes the court to grant pretrial diversion to a defendant diagnosed with a mental disorder if the defendant satisfies certain eligibility requirements and if the court determines that the defendant is suitable for diversion. Existing law provides that a defendant is eligible for diversion if they have been diagnosed with certain mental disorders and the court finds that the mental disorder was a significant factor in the commission of the charged offense, unless there is clear and convincing evidence that the disorder was not a motivating, causal, or contributing factor to the defendant’s involvement in the alleged offense. Existing law excludes a defendant from diversion for specified charged offenses, including, among others, murder, voluntary manslaughter, rape, or continuous sexual abuse of a child, as specified. The bill would instead make the defendant suitable for diversion if they do not pose a substantial and undue risk to the physical safety of another person and would add to the list of things the court may specifically consider in making that determination, including the defendant’s prior history in a pretrial diversion plan and the severity of injury to the victim.

Summary: Current law requires that, except as specified, not less than the general prevailing rate of per diem wages, determined by the Director of Industrial Relations, be paid to workers employed on public works projects.
Current law requires the body awarding a contract for a public work to obtain from the director the general prevailing rate of per diem wages for work of a similar character in the locality in which the public work is to be performed, and the general prevailing rate of per diem wages for holiday and overtime work, for each craft, classification, or type of worker needed to execute the contract. Under current law, if the director determines during any quarterly period that there has been a change in any prevailing rate of per diem wages in a locality, the director is required to make that change available to the awarding body and their determination is final. Under current law, that determination does not apply to public works contracts for which the notice to bidders has been published. This bill would instead state, commencing July 1, 2027, that if the director determines, within a semiannual period, that there is a change in any prevailing rate of per diem wages in a locality, that determination 95

The bill would authorize any contractor, awarding body, or specified representative affected by a change in rates on a particular contract to, within 20 days, file with the director a verified petition to review the determination of that rate, as specified. The bill would require the director to, upon notice to the interested parties, initiate an investigation or hold a hearing, and, within 20 days after the filing of that petition, except as specified, make a final determination and transmit the determination in writing to the awarding body and to the interested parties.

The bill would require the department to submit an annual report to the Legislature summarizing specified information and recommendations regarding homeless encampments. (Based on 04/21/2025 text)

Summary: Existing law prohibits a local agency from imposing a tax, permit fee, or other charge for the privilege of using its streets or highways, other than a permit fee for an extralegal load unless the local agency had imposed the fee prior to June 1, 1989. This bill would expressly limit this prohibition to charges based on weight.
The bill would also explicitly state that a fee, charge, or surcharge imposed by or for a local agency to recover the cost of street maintenance and repair and other costs associated with the use of its streets, roads, or highways to provide public services or public works is not a tax, permit fee, or other charge that is prohibited by the provision above.

Current law, among other requirements for the design-build procurement process, requires specified information submitted by a design-build entity to be certified under penalty of perjury. These provisions authorizing local agencies to use the design-build procurement process are repealed on January 1, 2031.

Existing law also requires a plaintiff to file, within a specified timeframe, a motion for approval of the draft notice and draft form answer. Under existing law, once the court approves the draft notice, the plaintiff is required to serve the notice, as specified. Following a court order approving both the notice and draft form answer and authorizing service thereof, existing law requires the plaintiff to take additional steps to provide notice to defendants including, but not limited to, mailing, by registered mail or certified mail, return receipt requested, the notice, complaint, and form answer to all holders of fee title to real property in the basin. Under existing law, if a return receipt is not received for a parcel of real property, the plaintiff must post a copy of the notice, complaint, and form answer in a conspicuous place on the real property.
After completing these notice procedures, existing law requires the plaintiff to file a notice of completion of the mailing with the court. Existing law permits a court to authorize any other procedures it finds appropriate and necessary to provide notice to persons who may hold groundwater rights in basin. This bill would impose additional requirements on a plaintiff when filing the notice of completion of mailing. The bill would require the plaintiff to include with the notice of completion an affidavit of the person who mailed the notice and the certified or registered mail delivery receipt for each parcel stating the date, time, and place of mailing. The bill would further require the notice to include as an attachment any certified or registered mail delivery receipts received as of the date of the filing. (Based on 03/25/2026 text)

Summary: Current law requires the Department of Water Resources to update every 5 years the plan for the orderly and coordinated control, protection, conservation, development, and use of the water resources of the state, which is known as “The California Water Plan.” Current law requires the department to include a discussion of various strategies in the plan update, including, but not limited to, strategies relating to the development of new water storage facilities, water conservation, water recycling, desalination, conjunctive use, and water transfers, that may be pursued in order to meet the future needs of the state. Current law requires the department to establish an advisory committee to assist the department in updating the plan. This bill would revise and recast certain provisions regarding The California Water Plan to, among other things, require the department to expand the membership of the advisory committee to include, among others, tribes, labor, and environmental justice interests. The bill would require the department, as part of the 2033 update to the plan, to update the interim planning target for 2050, as provided. The bill would require the target to consider the identified and future water needs for all beneficial uses, including, but not limited to, urban uses, agricultural uses, tribal uses, and the environment, and ensure safe drinking water for all Californians, among other things. The bill would require the plan to include specified components, including a discussion of the estimated costs, benefits, and impacts of any project type or action that is recommended by the department within the plan that could help achieve the water supply targets.

Location: 05/04/2026 - Assembly Environmental Safety and Toxic Materials Summary: The Responsible Battery Recycling Act of 2022, establishes a stewardship program, administered by the Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery, with the Department of Toxic Substances Control, as provided, for the collection, transportation, and recycling, and the safe and proper management, of covered batteries in the state in an economically efficient and practical manner. The battery recycling act defines a “covered battery” to mean a device consisting of one or more electrically connected electrochemical cells designed to receive, store, and deliver electric energy. Existing law defines a “covered battery” to include a loose battery that is designed to be easily removed from a product by the user of the product with no more than common household tools. Existing law excludes from the definition of a covered battery a primary battery weighing over 2 kilograms. Existing law defines a “primary battery” for this purpose to mean a nonrechargeable battery, including, but not limited to, alkaline, carbon-zinc, and lithium metal batteries. Existing law also excludes from the definition of a covered battery a rechargeable battery weighing over 5 kilograms and having a watthour rating of more than 300 watthours. This bill would revise the description of a loose battery, for purposes of the definition of a covered battery, by providing that a key, application, or other locking device provided to the consumer by the producer of the product or battery that is warranted by the producer of the product or battery to serve solely to prevent theft of the battery or tampering by persons other than the consumer and not to inhibit the consumer’s ability to remove, replace, or recycle the battery would not prevent a battery from being considered designed to be easily removed from a product by the user of the product with no more than common household tools. The bill would remove the exclusions from the definition of a covered battery for a primary battery and a rechargeable battery, described above. (Based on 06/01/2026 text) Priority: (5) Track/Watch

Existing law prohibits the use of potable water for the irrigation of nonfunctional turf located on commercial, industrial, and institutional properties, other than a cemetery, and on properties of homeowners’ associations, common interest developments, and community service organizations or similar entities, as specified. Existing law requires a person or entity to be subject to civil liability or penalties by the State Water Resources Control Board, as prescribed, or to civil liability and penalties imposed by an urban water supplier, pursuant to a locally adopted ordinance or policy. Existing law authorizes a public water system, city, county, or city and county to enforce the provisions relating to the prohibition, as specified.

Location: 06/08/2026 - Assembly Emergency Management
Summary: The California Emergency Services Act requires all public water systems, as defined, with 10,000 or more service connections to review and revise their disaster preparedness plans in conjunction with related agencies, including, but not limited to, local fire departments and the Office of Emergency Services, to ensure that the plans are sufficient to address possible disaster scenarios. A person, as defined, who violates the provisions of this act is guilty of a misdemeanor. This bill, beginning January 1, 2028, would require all urban retail water suppliers, as defined, serving a high or very high fire hazard severity zone to include incident-specific response procedures for wildfires as part of their disaster preparedness plans, including any applicable emergency response plan as required by federal law. The bill would require these plans to include, among other things, mitigation actions, including actions, procedures, and equipment, that can obviate or significantly lessen the impact of a wildfire on the water system and the supply of drinking water provided by the water supplier.
Because violation of these requirements by certain urban retail water suppliers would constitute a misdemeanor, the bill would expand the scope of a crime, thereby imposing a state-mandated local program. (Based on 04/28/2026 text)

TITLE: NOTICE OF COMPLETION - APOC BATTING CAGES EQUIPMENT REPLACEMENT PROJECT (IB249).
PAGE: 2
BACKGROUND
The Fiscal Year 2024-25 Building Management Fund (IB249) budget provides funding for the APOC Batting Cages Equipment Replacement Project. The APOC Batting Cages feature a combination of token-operated automated baseball and softball pitching machines. The nine outdoor batting stalls have a range of pitching speeds to accommodate all skill levels and are one of the only batting cage facilities of this type in the region. Due to age, heavy use, and harsh operating conditions, the existing equipment experienced frequent breakdowns and was unable to operate at full capacity.
On June 3, 2025, the City Council awarded a construction contract to DLJ Development, El Monte, CA, for the APOC Batting Cages Equipment Replacement Project. The project scope of work included the removal and replacement of all equipment including the pitching machines, token boxes, light boxes, and conveyor systems, as well as the installation of new wiring, a new computer control system, and signage.
ISSUES/ANALYSIS
During construction, no change orders were required.
The following is a summary of the final accounting of costs for project IB249:
Contract #2025-281 Contract Contingency
Original Contract & Contingency: $ 201,701.39 $ 30,255.00 Final Contract Amount & Unused Contingency: $ 201,701.39 $ 30,255.00 DLJ Development has satisfactorily completed all work within the project budget and has complied with the terms of the contract.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: JUNE 16, 2026
TITLE: CONTRACT AMENDMENT WITH E-PLAN INC. FOR ELECTRONIC PLAN REVIEW SOFTWARE.
PAGE: 2
BACKGROUND
In 2023, the City entered into a Licensing Agreement with E-Plan Inc. for electronic plan review software following a sole source procurement process. The software was selected due to its ability to integrate with the City’s permitting system and streamline plan review workflows across Development Services Department, Public Works Department, and partner agencies. The agreement includes software licensing, cloud hosting, maintenance, support services, and middleware integration to support system connectivity.
The original agreement established a five-year term with pricing based on the City’s initial number of user licenses and a defined cost structure for software and middleware services. As implementation progressed, the system has been adopted more broadly across departments to support operational needs and improve service delivery. There are currently two (2) years remaining on the original agreement term and the City continues to utilize the system to support daily plan check and permitting operations.
ISSUES/ANALYSIS
E-Plan Inc. continues to provide critical electronic plan review services that support efficient development review operations. The platform enables simultaneous multi-department review, reduces plan review and permitting turnaround times, minimizes paper usage, and improves accuracy and transparency for both staff and applicants.
Since the execution of the original agreement in 2023, the City’s use of the system has expanded to support additional staff and consultants, resulting in an increase in the total number of software licenses necessary to support ongoing operations. The updated sales order for the remaining two years of the agreement reflects the City’s current operational needs while maintaining the pricing structure established under the original 2023 agreement terms, including middleware integration services.
The updated sales order for the remaining term of the agreement increases the total contract amount beyond the City Manager’s purchasing authority threshold. Therefore, City Council approval is required to authorize the contract amendment and continue uninterrupted electronic plan review services through the remainder of the agreement term.

4.3. Audit of Authorized Users. Licensee will maintain reasonable business practices and records necessary to ensure that the number of Users is in compliance with this LA and any applicable Sales Orders, and Licensor at its sole discretion reserves the right to request Licensee records to verify such compliance. The Licensee will notify Licensor if any additional Users will be added to use the Service.

Licensee will not do any "mirroring" or "framing" of any part of the Service, or create Internet links to the Service which include log-in information, User names, passwords, and/or secure cookies. Licensee will not in any way express or imply that any opinions contained in Licensee’s Electronic Communications are endorsed by Licensor. Licensee will ensure that all access and use of the Service by Users is in accordance with the terms and conditions of this LA. Any action or breach by any of such User will be deemed an action or breach by Licensee.
6.0. Transmission, Maintenance, and Confidentiality of Data
6.1. Transmission of Data. Licensee understands that the technical processing and transmission of Licensee’s Electronic Communications (including any transfer of 121
4 Rev: 9/9/2022
signs, signals, text, images, sounds, data or intelligence of any nature transmitted in whole or part electronically received and/or transmitted through the Service) is fundamentally necessary to use the Service. Licensee is responsible for securing DSL, cable or another highspeed Internet connection and up-to-date “browser” software to utilize the Service. Licensee expressly consents to Licensor’s interception and storage of Electronic Communications and/or Licensee Data, and Licensee acknowledges and understands that Licensee’s Electronic Communications will involve transmission over the Internet, and over various networks, only part of which may be owned and/or operated by Licensor. Licensee further acknowledges and understands that Electronic Communications may be accessed by unauthorized parties when communicated across the Internet, network communications facilities, telephone or other electronic means. Licensor is not responsible for any Electronic Communications and/or Licensee Data which are delayed, lost, altered, intercepted or stored during the transmission of any data whatsoever across networks not owned and/or operated by Licensor, including, but not limited to, the Internet and Licensee’s local network. Licensee will also be responsible for all Electronic Communications, including those containing business information, account registration, account holder information, financial information, Licensee Data, and all other data of any kind contained within emails or otherwise entered electronically through the Service or under Licensee’s account. Licensor will act as though any Electronic Communications it receives under Licensee’s passwords, user name, and/or account number will have been sent by Licensee.
6.2. Licensee Data 6.2.1. As between Licensor and Licensee, all title and intellectual property rights in and to the Licensee Data is owned exclusively by Licensee. Licensee agrees that Licensor may use Licensee data to perform necessary and reasonable activities during software engineering activities to ensure that the Service functionality continues to work with Licensee’s data.
6.2.2. Licensor will maintain commercially reasonable administrative, physical and technical safeguards designed for the protection, confidentiality and integrity of Licensee Data.
6.2.3. Following expiration or termination of any Sales Order and/or this LA, Licensor may immediately deactivate the applicable Licensee account(s) and will be entitled to delete such Licensee account(s) from Licensor’s “live” site following a forty (40) day period, after which Licensor will not be liable to Licensee nor to any third party for any termination of Licensee access to the Service or deletion of Licensee Data.
6.3. HIPAA. Licensee agrees that: (i) Licensor is not acting on Licensee’s behalf as a Business Associate or subcontractor; (ii) the Service may not be used to store, 122
5 Rev: 9/9/2022
maintain, process or transmit protected health information (“PHI”) and (iii) the Service will not be used in any manner that would require Licensor or the Service to be compliant with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, as amended and supplemented (“HIPAA”). In the preceding sentence, the terms “Business Associate,” “subcontractor,” “protected” health information” or “PHI” will have the meanings described in HIPAA.
7.0. Modifications and Discontinuation of Service
7.1. To the Service. Licensor may make modifications to the Service or particular components of the Service from time to time and will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify Licensee of any material modifications. Licensor reserves the right to discontinue offering the Service at the conclusion of Licensee’s then current subscription term for such Service. Licensor will not be liable to Licensee nor to any third party for any modification of the Service as described in this section.
7.2. To Applicable Terms. If Licensor makes a material change to any applicable terms of this LA or a Sales Order, then Licensor will notify Licensee by either sending an email to the notification email address or posting a notice to the administrator in Licensee’s account. If the change has a material adverse impact on Licensee and Licensee does not agree to the change, Licensee must so notify Licensor via [email protected] within thirty (30) days after receiving notice of the change. If Licensee notifies Licensor as required, then Licensee will remain governed by the terms in effect immediately prior to the change until the end of the then current subscription term for the affected Service. If the affected Service is renewed, it will be renewed under Licensor's then current version of this LA.
7.3. Suspension for Ongoing Harm. Licensor may with reasonably contemporaneous telephonic notice to Licensee suspend access to the Service if Licensor reasonably concludes that Licensee’s Service is being used to engage in denial of service attacks, spamming, or illegal activity, and/or use of Licensee’s Service is causing immediate, material and ongoing harm to Licensor or others. In the extraordinary event that Licensor suspends access to the Service, Licensor will use commercially reasonable efforts to limit the suspension to the offending portion of the Service and work with Licensee to resolve the issues causing the suspension of Service.
Licensee agrees that Licensor will not be liable to Licensee nor to any third party for any suspension of the Service under such circumstances as described in this section.
8.0. Third-Party Applications. “Third-Party Applications” include applications, integrations, services, or implementation, customization and other consulting services related thereto, that interoperate with the Service and are provided by a party other than Licensor. Licensor or Third-Party providers may offer Third-Party Applications through the Service or otherwise related to Licensee’s use of the Service. Except as expressly set 123
6 Rev: 9/9/2022
forth in the applicable Sales Order, Licensor does not warrant any such Third-Party Applications, regardless of whether or not such Third-Party Applications are provided by a Third Party that is a member of a Licensor partner program or otherwise designated by Licensor as “Built For Licensor,” "certified," "approved" or “recommended.” Any procurement by Licensee of such Third-Party Applications or services is solely between Licensee and the applicable Third-Party provider. Licensee may not use Third-Party Applications to enter and/or submit transactions to be processed and/or stored in the Service, unless Licensee has procured a subscription to the Service for such use and access. Licensor is not responsible for any aspect of Third-Party Applications that Licensee may procure or connect to through the Service, or any descriptions, promises or other information related to the foregoing. If Licensee installs or enables Third-Party Applications for use with the Service, Licensee agrees that Licensor may enable such Third-Party providers to access Licensee Data as required for the interoperation of such Third-Party Applications with the Service, and any exchange of data or other interaction between Licensee and a Third-Party provider is solely between Licensee and such ThirdParty provider pursuant to a separate privacy policy or other terms governing Licensee’s access to or use of the Third-Party Applications. Licensor will not be responsible for any disclosure, modification or deletion of Licensee Data resulting from any such access by Third-Party Applications or Third-Party providers. No procurement of Third-Party Applications is required to use the Service. If Licensee was referred to Licensor by a member of one of Licensor’s partner programs, Licensee hereby authorizes Licensor to provide such member or its successor entity with access to Licensor’s business information related to the procurement and use of the Service pursuant to this Agreement, including but not limited to User names and email addresses, support cases and billing/payment information.
9.0. Indemnification for Claims Concerning Licensor and Licensee Intellectual Property. 9.1. Infringement. Licensor will, at its own expense, defend Licensee from and against any and all allegations, threats, claims, suits, and proceedings brought by third parties (collectively “Claims”) alleging that the Service, as used in accordance with this Agreement, infringes such third party’s copyrights or trademarks, or misappropriates such third party’s trade secrets, and will indemnify Licensee from and against liability, damages, and costs finally awarded or entered into in settlement (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) (collectively, “Losses”) to the extent based upon such a Claim.
However, Licensor will have no liability for, or duty to defend or indemnify Licensee against, Claims to the extent arising from (a) use of the Service in violation of this LA or applicable law, (b) use of the Service after Licensor notifies Licensee to discontinue use because of an infringement claim, (c) modifications to the Service not made by Licensor or made by Licensor based on Licensee specifications or requirements, (d) use of the Service in combination with any non-Licensor software, application or service, or (e) services offered by Licensee or revenue earned by Licensee for such services. If a Claim of infringement as set forth above is brought or threatened, Licensor may, at its sole option and expense, use commercially reasonable efforts to (a) procure a license that will protect Licensee against such Claim without cost to Licensee; 124
7 Rev: 9/9/2022
(b) modify or replace all or portions of the Service as needed to avoid infringement, such update or replacement having substantially similar or better capabilities; or (c) if (a) and (b) are not commercially feasible, terminate this LA and refund to the Licensee a pro-rata refund of the subscription fees paid for under any applicable Sales Orders for the terminated portion of the term. The rights and remedies granted Licensee under this Section 8.1 state Licensor’s entire liability, and Licensee's exclusive remedy, with respect to any claim of infringement of the intellectual property rights of a third party.
9.2. Licensee’s Indemnity. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Licensee will, at its own expense, defend Licensor from and against any and all Claims (i) alleging that the Licensee Data or any trademarks or service marks, or any use thereof, infringes the copyright or trademark or misappropriates the trade secrets of a third party, or has caused harm to a third party, or (ii) arising out of Licensee’s breach of this LA, and will indemnify Licensor from and against liability for any Losses to the extent based upon such Claims.
9.3. Indemnification Procedures and Survival. In the event of a Claim within the purview of these indemnification provisions, the indemnitee shall control its own defense, and at the time of Claim resolution the indemnitor shall reimburse the indemnitee for those attorney fees and other defense costs reasonably incurred in that defense. To the extent that the indemnitee may incur fees and costs in the defense of claims other than a covered Claim, the indemnitor shall have no responsibility for such costs. The indemnification obligations contained in this section will survive for one year after termination or expiration of this LA.
10.0. U.S. Government Rights. The Service is a “commercial item” as that term is defined at FAR 2.101. If Licensee or User is a US Federal Government (Government) Executive Agency (as defined in FAR 2.101), Licensor provides the Service, including any related software, technology, technical data, and/or professional services in accordance with the following: (a) if acquired by or on behalf of any Executive Agency (other than an agency within the Department of Defense (DoD), the Government acquires, in accordance with FAR 12.211 (Technical Data) and FAR 12.212 (Computer Software), only those rights in technical data and software customarily provided to the public as defined in this LA; or (b) if acquired by or on behalf of any Executive Agency within the DoD, the Government acquires, in accordance with DFARS 227.7202-3 (Rights in commercial computer software or commercial computer software documentation), only those rights in technical data and software customarily provided in this LA. In addition, DFARS 252.227-7015 (Technical Data – Commercial Items) applies to technical data acquired by DoD agencies. Any Federal Legislative Agency or Federal Judicial Agency will obtain only those rights in technical data and software customarily provided to the public as set forth in this LA. If any Federal Executive Agency, Federal Legislative Agency, or Federal Judicial Agency has a need for rights not conveyed under the terms described in this Section, it must negotiate with Licensor to determine if there are acceptable terms for transferring such rights, and a mutually acceptable written addendum specifically conveying such rights must be included in any applicable contract or agreement to be effective. This U.S. Government Rights Section is in lieu of, and supersedes, any other 125
8 Rev: 9/9/2022
FAR, DFARS, or other clause, provision, or supplemental regulation that addresses Government rights in computer software or technical data under this LA.
11.0. Termination for Cause, Expiration. Either party may immediately terminate this LA and all applicable Sales Orders in the event the other party commits a material breach of any provision of this LA which is not cured within thirty (30) days of written notice from the non-breaching party. Such notice by the complaining party will expressly state all of the reasons for the claimed breach in sufficient detail so as to provide the alleged breaching party a meaningful opportunity to cure such alleged breach and will be sent to the General Counsel of the alleged breaching party at the address listed in the heading of this LA (or such other address that may be provided pursuant to this LA). Upon termination or expiration of this LA, Licensee will have no rights to continue use of the Service. If this LA is terminated by Licensee for any reason other than a termination expressly permitted by this LA, then Licensor will be entitled to all of the fees due under any applicable Sales Orders for the entire term. If this LA is terminated as a result of Licensor’s breach of this LA, then Licensee will be entitled to a refund of the pro rata portion of any subscription fees paid by Licensee to Licensor under any applicable Sales Orders for the terminated portion of the term.
12.0. General Provisions on the Integrity of this LA. Except as otherwise provided herein, this LA may only be amended or modified via a writing signed by both Parties. If any term or provision of this LA is found to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such term or provision will be severed from the remainder of the LA, which will otherwise remain in full force and effect. No waiver of any provision of this LA will be effective unless in writing and executed by the party waiving the right. Failure to properly demand compliance or performance will not constitute a waiver of a party's rights hereunder. The waiver by either party of a breach or right under this LA will not constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach or right. This LA will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the substantive laws of the State of California without regard to conflict of law principles. The federal and state courts situated in Orange County, California will be the exclusive venue for the resolution of all disputes related to this LA. The substantially prevailing party in any dispute arising out of this Agreement shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees. Neither party may assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder, whether by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the other party (not to be unreasonably withheld).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may assign this LA in its entirety, and any related Sales Orders, without consent of the other party, to an affiliate (defined as any entity which directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, controls, or is controlled by, or is under common control with a party to this LA, by way of majority voting stock ownership or the ability to otherwise direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such party) or in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets not involving a direct competitor of the other party. A party’s sole remedy for any purported assignment by the other party in breach of this paragraph shall be, at the non-assigning party’s election, termination of this LA and any related Sales Order/subscription upon written notice to the assigning party. In the event of such a termination, Licensor will refund to Licensee any prepaid fees covering the remainder of the term of all 126
9 Rev: 9/9/2022
subscriptions after the effective date of termination. Subject to the foregoing, this LA shall bind and inure to the benefit of the Parties, their respective successors and permitted assigns; however, unless expressly stated otherwise, nothing herein is intended to benefit or create any rights in any third parties. As of the effective date of this LA, this LA sets forth the entire understanding between the Parties, subject only to subsequently agreed-to Sales Orders, and supersedes all prior agreements, representations, or promises, written or oral, with respect to the EPR.
This LA is entered into, and effective as of January 23, 2023, by and between e-PlanSoft, a California Corporation with its principal place of business at 111 Pacifica, Suite 100 Irvine, CA 92618 (“Licensor”) and, The City of Chino (“Licensee”), with its principal place of business located at 13220 Central Ave., Chino CA, 91710.
The individual signing this LA on behalf of Licensee represents and warrants that he / she is authorized to enter into such agreement on behalf of Licensee.

BACKGROUND
In 2024, the City entered into an agreement with IK Consulting, LLC to provide training and technical assistance services in support of the City’s Accela-based permitting and development review system. Services include system configuration assistance, workflow support, troubleshooting, staff training, and operational guidance related to the City’s Accela Civic Platform implementation and ongoing administration.

ISSUES/ANALYSIS
IK Consulting, LLC continues to provide specialized Accela support and training services that assist staff with system administration, configuration support, troubleshooting, workflow enhancements, and operational improvements. These services support the continued functionality and efficiency of the City’s permitting platform and the continued expansion and evolution of the Permit Center into new workflows.
The proposed fourth amendment will increase the agreement amount by $100,000 and extend the agreement term through June 30, 2027. The consultants’ hourly and training rates remain unchanged from the previously approved amendment. With the proposed amendment, the total contract amount will exceed the City Manager’s purchasing authority, therefore, City Council approval is required.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: JUNE 16, 2026
TITLE: FEDERAL ASSET FORFEITURE - AGREEMENT WITH AXON ENTERPRISE.
PAGE: 2
BACKGROUND
For several years, the Chino Police Department has actively participated in investigations or prosecutions that resulted in federal forfeiture. As a result, the City receives an equitable share of the net proceeds. Forfeiture funds are designated exclusively for law enforcement purposes and must supplement existing resources, not replace them.
ISSUES/ANALYSIS
The Chino Police Department remains committed to providing officers with reliable, effective, and modern technology necessary to meet the evolving demands of public safety. As community expectations, technology, and legal requirements continue to change, it is important that the Department maintains tools that improve officer safety, increase transparency, enhance efficiency, and support top-tier service to the community.
The proposed agreement with Axon Enterprise represents a comprehensive technology upgrade across several critical public safety platforms. Rather than replacing individual systems separately over time, this agreement provides an integrated ecosystem that combines bodyworn cameras, less-lethal devices, evidence management, AI-assisted reporting tools, dispatch technology, and digital evidence processing into a single platform.
A key component of the agreement is the advanced technological upgrades to the currently used Axon Body 4 body-worn camera system. Body-worn cameras have become an essential tool for evidence collection, accountability, and transparency. The technology upgrades to the Axon Body 4 introduce advanced features, including real-time translation, live-streaming capabilities, and AI-assisted report preparation tools designed to improve documentation and reduce administrative workload. The agreement also includes access to future Axon technology enhancements throughout the life of the contract, ensuring the Department continues to benefit from advancing technology without requiring additional major investments.
The contract also helps ensure compliance with evolving legal requirements, including Senate Bill 524 related to AI-generated police reports. Axon includes the required safeguards and audit trail capabilities to maintain transparency and compliance.
The proposed contract also upgrades all sworn personnel from the TASER 7 to the TASER 10 platform. The TASER 10 represents one of the most significant advancements in less-lethal technology in over a decade. The new system extends the effective range to 45 feet and addresses one of the most common causes of TASER deployment failure by increasing deployment effectiveness and improving officer safety.
Additionally, the agreement includes Prepared, an AI-assisted dispatch system designed to improve communication during emergency incidents. The contract also adds AI-assisted video redaction software that will help streamline processing of public records requests. Last year alone, the Department processed more than 7,500 public records requests, many of which required significant staff time for review and redaction. These tools are expected to improve efficiency and reduce administrative burdens on personnel.
This agreement is recommended as a sole source procurement because the Chino Police Department currently uses Axon technology, and the proposed agreement provides continuity with the Department’s existing body-worn camera, TASER, evidence management, and related public safety technology platforms. Using Axon allows the Department to maintain compatibility with existing systems, preserve officer training consistency, avoid disruption to digital evidence workflows, and continue using an integrated public safety technology ecosystem.

Master Services and Purchasing Agreement
Version: 25
Release Date: Page 1 of 29
This Master Services and Purchasing Agreement ("Agreement") is between Axon Enterprise, Inc. ("Axon"), and the Customer listed below or, if no Customer is listed below, the customer on the Quote (as defined below) ("Customer").
This Agreement is effective as of the later of the (a) last signature date on this Agreement or (b) date of acceptance of the Quote ("Effective Date"). Axon and Customer are each a "Party" and collectively "Parties". This Agreement governs Customer’s purchase and use of the Axon Devices and Services detailed in the Quote. It is the intent of the Parties that this Agreement will govern all subsequent purchases by Customer for the same Axon Devices and Services in the Quote, and all such subsequent quotes accepted by Customer shall be also incorporated into this Agreement by reference as a Quote. The Parties agree as follows:
1. Definitions.
1.1. "Axon Cloud Services" means Axon’s web services, but excludes third-party applications, hardware warranties, and my.evidence.com.
1.2. "Axon Device" means all hardware provided by Axon under this Agreement. Axon-manufactured Devices are a subset of Axon Devices.
1.3. "Quote" means an offer to sell and is only valid for devices and services on the offer at the specified prices.
Any inconsistent or supplemental terms within Customer’s purchase order in response to a Quote will be void.
Orders are subject to prior credit approval. Changes in the deployment estimated ship date may change charges in the Quote. Shipping dates are estimates only. Axon is not responsible for typographical errors in any Quote by Axon, and Axon reserves the right to cancel any orders resulting from such errors.
1.4. "Services" means all services provided by Axon under this Agreement, including software, Axon Cloud Services, and professional services.
2. Term. This Agreement begins on the Effective Date and continues until all subscriptions hereunder have expired or have been terminated ("Term").
2.1. All subscription plans begin on the date stated in the Quote. Each subscription term ends upon completion of the subscription stated in the Quote ("Subscription Term").
2.2. Upon completion of the Subscription Term, the Subscription Term may renew upon mutual written agreement of the Parties for a mutually agreeable term ("Renewal Term"). For purchase of TASER 7 or TASER 10 as a standalone, Axon may increase pricing to its then-current list pricing for any Renewal Term. New devices and services may require additional terms. Axon will not authorize new services until Axon receives a signed Quote or accepts a purchase order, whichever is first.
3. Payment. Axon invoices for Axon Devices upon shipment, or on the date specified within the invoicing plan in the Quote. Payment is due net 30 days from the invoice date. Axon invoices for Axon Cloud Services on an upfront annual basis prior to the beginning of the Subscription Term and upon the anniversary of the Subscription Term. Payment obligations are non-cancelable. Unless otherwise prohibited by law, Customer will pay interest on all past-due sums at the lower of one-and-a-half percent (1.5%) per month or the highest rate allowed by law. Customer will pay invoices without setoff, deduction, or withholding. If Axon sends a past due account to collections, Customer is responsible for collection and attorneys’ fees.
4. Taxes. Customer is responsible for sales and other taxes associated with the order unless Customer provides Axon a valid tax exemption certificate.
5. Shipping. Axon may make partial shipments and ship Axon Devices from multiple locations. All shipments are EXW (Incoterms 2020) via common carrier. Title and risk of loss pass to Customer upon Axon’s delivery to the common carrier. Customer is responsible for any shipping charges in the Quote.
6. Returns. All sales are final. Axon does not allow refunds or exchanges, except warranty returns or as provided by state or federal law.
7. Warranty.
7.1. Limited Warranty. Axon warrants that Axon-manufactured Devices, except for TASER devices covered under the TASER Appendix, are free from defects in workmanship and materials for one (1) year from the date of Customer’s receipt, except Signal Sidearm which Axon warrants for thirty (30) months from Customer’s receipt and Axon-manufactured accessories, which Axon warrants for ninety (90) days from Customer’s receipt, respectively, from the date of Customer’s receipt. Extended warranties run from the expiration of the one- (1-) year hardware warranty through the extended warranty term purchased.
7.2. Disclaimer. All software and Axon Cloud Services are provided "AS IS," without any warranty of any kind, either express or implied, including without limitation the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

warranty and are only subject to the warranties of the third-party provider or manufacturer. If Customer purchases Axon Loki, Customer acknowledges the Loki device is designed for operation in enclosed, controlled environments and must be used in compliance with all applicable laws and safety guidelines. Operation in open or unapproved areas may result in signal interference, loss of control, or damage, and Axon assumes no liability for improper use, including any resulting harm or regulatory violations.
7.3. Claims. If Axon receives a valid warranty claim for an Axon-manufactured Device during the warranty term, Axon’s sole responsibility is to repair or replace the Axon-manufactured Device with the same or like Axonmanufactured Device, at Axon’s option. A replacement Axon-manufactured Device will be new or like new.
Axon will warrant the replacement Axon-manufactured Device for the longer of (a) the remaining warranty of the original Axon-manufactured Device or (b) ninety (90) days from the date of repair or replacement.
7.3.1. If Customer exchanges an Axon Device or part, the replacement item becomes Customer’s property, and the replaced item becomes Axon’s property. Before delivering an Axon-manufactured Device for service, Customer must upload Axon-manufactured Device data to Axon Evidence or download it and retain a copy. Axon is not responsible for any loss of software, data, or other information contained in storage media or any part of the Axon-manufactured Device sent to Axon for service.
7.4. Spare Axon Devices. At Axon's reasonable discretion, Axon may provide Customer a predetermined number of spare Axon Devices as detailed in the Quote ("Spare Axon Devices"). Spare Axon Devices are intended to replace broken or non-functioning units while Customer submits the broken or non-functioning units, through Axon’s warranty return process. Axon will repair or replace the unit with a replacement Axon Device. Title and risk of loss for all Spare Axon Devices shall pass to Customer in accordance with shipping terms of this Agreement. Axon assumes no liability or obligation in the event Customer does not utilize Spare Axon Devices for the intended purpose.

Axon’s warranty will be void if Customer resells Axon Devices.
7.5.1. To the extent permitted by law, the above warranties and remedies are exclusive. Axon disclaims all other warranties, remedies, and conditions, whether oral, written, statutory, or implied. If statutory or implied warranties cannot be lawfully disclaimed, then such warranties are limited to the duration of the warranty described above and by the provisions in this Agreement. Customer confirms and agrees that, in deciding whether to sign this Agreement, Customer has not relied on any statement or representation by Axon or anyone acting on behalf of Axon related to the subject matter of this Agreement that is not in this Agreement.
7.5.2. Axon’s cumulative liability to any party for any loss or damage resulting from any claim, demand, or action arising out of or relating to this Agreement will not exceed the purchase price paid to Axon for the Axon Device, or if for Services, the amount paid for such Services over the twelve (12) months preceding the claim. Neither Party will be liable for special, indirect, incidental, punitive or consequential damages, however caused, whether for breach of warranty or contract, negligence, strict liability, tort or any other legal theory.
7.6. Online Support Platforms. Use of Axon's online support platforms (e.g., Axon Academy and MyAxon) is governed by the Axon Online Support Platforms Terms of Use Appendix available at www.axon.com/salesterms-and-conditions.

In such event, Customer expressly waives and releases any and all claims, now known or hereafter known, against Axon and its officers, directors, employees, agents, contractors, affiliates, successors, and assigns (collectively, "Releasees"), including but not limited to, on account of injury, death, property damage, or loss of data, arising out of or attributable to the Axon Aid program whether arising out of the negligence of any Releasees or otherwise. Customer agrees not to make or bring any such claim against any Release, and forever release and discharge all Releasees from liability under such claims.

Axon may terminate the Axon Aid program without cause immediately upon notice to the Customer.
8. Free Trial.
8.1. Trial Period and License. At any time during the Term, Customer and Axon may elect to enter a free trial of Axon Devices and Services new to the Customer for a designated period (“Trial Period”) as described in a quote issued (“Trial Quote”). During the Trial Period, Axon grants Customer a nonexclusive, terminable, nontransferable, license to use new Axon Devices and Services provided for trial to the Customer (“Trial Products”).
Trial Products may include Axon beta software or firmware which additional terms may be required and included within the Trial Quote. Axon may limit the number of Trial Products Customer receives within the Trial Quote.
Axon may supply refurbished Trial Products. ALL FREE TRIAL PRODUCTS INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, AXON CLOUD SERVICES, ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY LAW, AXON DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY REGARDLESS OF THE CLAIM.
8.2. Trial Quote Termination. Upon at least 10 business days’ prior written notice to Axon at any time prior to the end of the Trial Period, Customer may as its sole option, terminate the free Trial Period and underlying Trial Quote associated with the Trial Products for convenience. Customer’s rights to the Trial Products will immediately terminate at the end of the Trial Period, and Customer will return any Trial Products hardware to Axon within 10 days after the effective date of such termination or at the end of the Trial Period, excluding used CEW cartridges. If any individual component of the Trial Products is not returned, Axon will invoice Customer the MSRP of the unreturned items. Customer agrees to pay the invoice along with any applicable taxes and shipping. Customer will return the Trial Products to Axon in good working condition, minus normal wear and tear. Axon may charge Customer if there is damage beyond normal wear and tear. Any Customer Content shall be stored and returned pursuant to the Axon Cloud Services Terms of Use Appendix
9. Statement of Work. Certain Axon Devices and Services, including, but not limited to, Axon Interview Room, Axon Channel Services, Axon Justice Implementation, FUSUS, and Axon Fleet, may require a Statement of Work that details Axon’s Service deliverables ("SOW"). In the event Axon provides an SOW to Customer, Axon is only responsible for the performance of Services described in the SOW. Additional services outside of the SOW, Quote, or this Agreement are out of scope. The Parties must document scope changes in a written and signed change order.
Changes may require an equitable adjustment in fees or schedule. Any applicable SOW is incorporated into this Agreement by reference.
10. Axon Device Warnings. See www.axon.com/legal for the most current Axon Device warnings.
11. Design Changes. Axon may make design or feature changes to any Axon Device or Service without notifying Customer or making the same change to Axon Devices and Services previously purchased by Customer.
12. Combined Offerings. Some offerings in a Quote combine existing and pre-released Axon Devices or Services. Some offerings may not be available at the time of Customer’s purchase. Axon will not provide a refund, credit, or additional discount beyond what is in the Quote due to delay of availability or Customer’s choice not to utilize any portion of a combined offering.
13. Insurance. Axon will maintain General Liability, Workers’ Compensation, and Automobile Liability insurance. Upon request, Axon will supply certificates of insurance.
14. IP Rights. Axon owns and reserves all right, title, and interest in Axon-manufactured Devices and Services and suggestions to Axon, including all related intellectual property rights. Customer will not cause any Axon proprietary rights to be violated.
15. IP Indemnification. Axon will indemnify Customer against all claims, losses, and reasonable expenses from any third-party claim alleging that the use of Axon-manufactured Devices, Axon Cloud Services or Axon software (“Axon Products”) infringes or misappropriates the third-party’s intellectual property rights. Customer must promptly provide Axon with written notice of such claim, tender to Axon the defense or settlement of such claim at Axon’s expense and cooperate fully with Axon in the defense or settlement of such claim. Axon’s IP indemnification obligations do not apply to claims based on (a) modification of Axon Products by Customer or a third-party not approved by Axon; (b) use of Axon Products in combination with hardware or services not approved by Axon; (c) use of Axon Products other 147
Master Services and Purchasing Agreement
Version: 25
Release Date: Page 4 of 29
than as permitted in this Agreement; or (d) use of Axon Products that is not the most current software release provided by Axon.
16. Customer Responsibilities. Customer is responsible for (a) Customer’s use of Axon Devices; (b) Customer or a Customer-authorized user’s breach of this Agreement or violation of applicable law; (c) disputes between Customer and a third-party over Customer’s use of Axon Devices; (d) secure and sustainable destruction and disposal of Axon Devices at Customer’s cost; and (e) any regulatory violations or fines, as a result of improper destruction or disposal of Axon Devices.
17. Termination.
17.1. For Breach. A Party may terminate this Agreement for cause if it provides thirty (30) days written notice of the breach to the other Party, and the breach remains uncured thirty (30) days after written notice. If Customer terminates this Agreement due to Axon’s uncured breach, Axon will refund prepaid amounts on a prorated basis based on the effective date of termination.
17.2. By Customer. If sufficient funds are not appropriated or otherwise legally available to pay the fees, Customer may terminate this Agreement. Customer will deliver notice of termination under this section as soon as reasonably practicable.
17.3. Effect of Termination. Upon termination of this Agreement, Customer rights immediately terminate. Customer remains responsible for all fees incurred before the effective date of termination. If Customer purchases Axon Devices for less than the manufacturer’s suggested retail price ("MSRP") and this Agreement terminates before the end of the Term, Axon will invoice Customer the difference between the MSRP for Axon Devices procured, including any Spare Axon Devices, and amounts paid towards those Axon Devices. Only if terminating for nonappropriation, Customer may avoid the MSRP fee by returning Axon Devices to Axon within thirty (30) days of termination. MSRP is the standalone price of the individual Axon Device at the time of sale. For multiple Axon Devices that may be combined as a single offering on a Quote, MSRP is the standalone price of all individual components.
18. Confidentiality. "Confidential Information" means nonpublic information designated as confidential or, given the nature of the information or circumstances surrounding disclosure, should reasonably be understood to be confidential. Each Party will take reasonable measures to avoid disclosure, dissemination, or unauthorized use of the other Party’s Confidential Information. Unless required by law, neither Party will disclose the other Party’s Confidential Information during the Term and for five (5) years thereafter. To the extent permissible by law, Axon pricing is Confidential Information and competition sensitive. If Customer receives a public records request to disclose Axon Confidential Information, to the extent allowed by law, Customer will provide notice to Axon before disclosure. Axon may publicly announce information related to this Agreement.
19. General.
19.1. Force Majeure. Neither Party will be liable for any delay or failure to perform due to a cause beyond a Party’s reasonable control.
19.2. Independent Contractors. The Parties are independent contractors. Neither Party has the authority to bind the other. This Agreement does not create a partnership, franchise, joint venture, Customer, fiduciary, or employment relationship between the Parties.
