The Board received a presentation on a voter survey in April 2026 regarding the proposed Measure I.

The Board unanimously approved the adoption of an Ordinance placing the measure on the countywide ballot for voter consideration in the November 3, 2026, election. For additional background, the proposed measure would replace the existing Measure I, ½ cent sales tax in San Bernardino County, with an updated version of the measure with the same ½ cent sale tax level to fund countywide transportation efforts. Included in the new measure is an updated expenditure plan that was previously approved by the Board and removal of the current sunset clause.

SANTA ANA WATERSHED ADVISORY COUNCIL
Council Representative: Karen Comstock | Staff Report By: Benjamin Orosco Meeting Date: June 2, 2026
Business Item 6A – Fiscal Year 2026-27 Inland Empire Brine Line Rate Resolution The PA-24 Committee recommended approval of the Fiscal Year 202-/27 Inland Empire Brine Line Rate Resolution, which establishes the rates necessary to fund the operation, maintenance, treatment, and disposal of brine conveyed through the Inland Empire Brine Line system. The approved rates include a 2% increase to flow and fixed pipeline treatment and disposal charges, while Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) and Total Suspended Solids (TSS) charges will increase by 11%.

Committee discussion focused on the factors contributing to the rate increase and its potential impacts on Inland Empire communities. Orange County Sanitation District (OC San) staff explained that the increase is primarily attributable to changes in Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) accounting requirements, which require certain studies and projects previously funded as capital improvements to now be accounted for as operating expenses. Combined with rising operations and maintenance costs, these 21 MONTHLY AGENCY REPORTS – SEPTEMBER 1, 2026 (Covering Meetings from 6/1/26 - 6/30/26 PAGE 8 changes resulted in higher treatment costs being passed through to the Inland Empire Brine Line system. OC San staff indicated that the accounting-related adjustment is largely a one-time change and is not expected to result in similar increases in future rate calculations.

Business Item 6B – Brine Line Service Contracts
The Committee received an update on several on-call service contracts that support the operation and maintenance of the Inland Empire Brine Line system. The contracts provide services including pipeline condition assessments using closed-circuit television (CCTV) inspections, surveying for easements and pipeline alignments, flow meter calibration required for regulatory compliance, line cleaning, and emergency linedraining and spill-response services. Staff reported that contracts for surveying and flow meter calibration had been awarded, while existing contracts for CCTV inspections and line cleaning were extended for one year. No proposals were received for emergency response services, and staff will evaluate revisions to the solicitation while also exploring opportunities to utilize existing emergency response contracts maintained by member agencies. No action was taken on this item.

TITLE: AWARD OF CONTRACT FOR SECURITY GUARD SERVICES.

PAGE: 3

BACKGROUND
The City of Chino provides professional security guard services to monitor municipal facilities, assist with conflict de-escalation, and maintain a safe environment for employees and visitors.

These services are regularly utilized at City Hall, the Senior Center, and the Carolyn Owens Community Center, which host public transactions, recreational programming, and community meetings.

On April 16, 2026, the City issued a Request for Proposals (RFP No. 2026-0013) for comprehensive, unarmed private security patrol services via PlanetBids, in accordance with City procurement policies. The RFP established specific operational, technological, and training requirements designed to provide consistent coverage across the three designated municipal locations.

The requested scope of services requires the contractor to provide three unarmed, uniformed security officers and a high-visibility, marked patrol vehicle to conduct both foot and vehicular patrols.

The City received a total of thirty-three proposals by the designated deadline. An evaluation committee consisting of staff from Administration, Community Services, Parks and Recreation, and the Police departments reviewed and scored each submission separately to maintain confidentiality and fairness. Staff then scored these proposals using the following weighted criteria:
 Experience/Qualifications: 20%
 Past Performance/References: 20%
 Plan Methodology/Project approach: 30%
 Quality and Responsiveness of Proposal: 15%
 Cost Evaluation: 15%

ISSUES/ANALYSIS
On June 16, 2026, the City Council awarded an agreement to American Global Security (AGS) for unarmed security patrol services, which commenced on July 1, 2026. During the first month of the contract, the City expressed concerns regarding the provider’s performance not meeting the terms set forth in the agreement and ultimately decided to terminate the contract.

Staff conferred with legal counsel and the Purchasing Division regarding next steps after the termination. The recommendation was to proceed with one of the top-evaluated proposers from the original procurement process. Citiguard, Inc., was the second most qualified proposer and is being recommended for approval within the established purchasing policies.

Staff recommends that the City Council award a professional services contract to Citiguard, Inc. for Security Guard Services, for an estimated total amount of $983,468.04 for a five-year term.

In the event of litigation in a U.S. District Court, venue shall lie exclusively in the Central District of California, in the County of San Bernardino, State of California.

7.2 Disputes; Default.

In the event that Consultant is in default under the terms of this Agreement, the City shall not have any obligation or duty to continue compensating Consultant for any work performed after the date of default. Instead, the City may give notice to Consultant of the default and the reasons for the default. The notice shall include the timeframe in which Consultant may cure the default. This timeframe is presumptively thirty (30) days, but may be extended, though not reduced, if circumstances warrant. During the period of time that Consultant is in default, the City shall hold all invoices and shall, when the default is cured, proceed with payment on the invoices.

If Consultant does not cure the default, the City may take necessary steps to terminate this Agreement under this Article. Any failure on the part of the City to give notice of the Consultant’s default shall not be deemed to result in a waiver of the City’s legal rights or any rights arising out of any provision of this Agreement.

Consultant hereby authorizes City to deduct from any amount payable to Consultant (whether or not arising out of this Agreement) (i) any amounts the payment of which may be in dispute hereunder or which are necessary to compensate City for any losses, costs, liabilities, or damages suffered by City, and (ii) all amounts for which City may be liable to third parties, by reason of Consultant’s acts or omissions in performing or failing to perform Consultant’s obligation under this Agreement.

to be the basis for a claim of lien, City may withhold from any payment due, without liability for interest because of such withholding, an amount sufficient to cover such claim. The failure of City to exercise such right to deduct or to withhold shall not, however, affect the obligations of the Consultant to insure, indemnify, and protect City as elsewhere provided herein.

7.4 Waiver.

Waiver by any party to this Agreement of any term, condition, or covenant of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other term, condition, or covenant. Waiver by any party of any breach of the provisions of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other provision or a waiver of any subsequent breach or violation of any provision of this Agreement.

Acceptance by City of any work or services by Consultant shall not constitute a waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement. No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy by a non-defaulting party on any default shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver. Any waiver by either party of any default must be in writing and shall not be a waiver of any other default concerning the same or any other provision of this Agreement.

7.5 Rights and Remedies are Cumulative.

Except with respect to rights and remedies expressly declared to be exclusive in this Agreement, the rights and remedies of the parties are cumulative and the exercise by either party of one or more of such rights or remedies shall not preclude the exercise by it, at the same or different times, of any other rights or remedies for the same default or any other default by the other party.

Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, Consultant shall file a statutory claim pursuant to Government Code Sections 905 et seq. and 910 et seq., in order to pursue a legal action under this Agreement.

7.7 Liquidated Damages.

Since the determination of actual damages for any delay in performance of this Agreement would be extremely difficult or impractical to determine in the event of a breach of this Agreement, the Consultant and its sureties shall be liable for and shall pay to the City the sum of Zero Dollars ($0) as liquidated damages for each working day of delay in the performance of any service required hereunder. The City may withhold from any monies payable on account of services performed by the Consultant any accrued liquidated damages.

7.8 Termination Prior to Expiration of Term.

This Section shall govern any termination of this Contract except as specifically provided in the following Section for termination for cause. The City reserves the right to terminate this 63 01225.0001/863604.2 18
Contract at any time, with or without cause, upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to Consultant, except that where termination is due to the fault of the Consultant, the period of notice may be such shorter time as may be determined by the Project Manager. In addition, the Consultant reserves the right to terminate this Contract at any time, with or without cause, upon sixty (60) days’ written notice to City, except that where termination is due to the fault of the City, the period of notice may be such shorter time as the Consultant may determine. Upon receipt of any notice of termination, Consultant shall immediately cease all services hereunder except such as may be specifically approved by the Project Manager. Except where the Consultant has initiated termination, the Consultant shall be entitled to compensation for all services rendered prior to the effective date of the notice of termination and for any services authorized by the Project Manager thereafter in accordance with the Schedule of Compensation or such as may be approved by the Project Manager, except as provided in Section 7.3. In the event the Consultant has initiated termination, the Consultant shall be entitled to compensation only for the reasonable value of the work product actually produced hereunder. In the event of termination without cause pursuant to this Section, the terminating party need not provide the non-terminating party with the opportunity to cure pursuant to Section 7.2.

7.9 Termination for Default of Consultant.

If termination is due to the failure of the Consultant to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement, City may, after compliance with the provisions of Section 7.2, take over the work and prosecute the same to completion by contract or otherwise, and the Consultant shall be liable to the extent that the total cost for completion of the services required hereunder exceeds the compensation herein stipulated (provided that the City shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate such damages), and City may withhold any payments to the Consultant for the purpose of set-off or partial payment of the amounts owed the City as previously stated.

7.10 Attorneys’ Fees.

If either party to this Agreement is required to initiate or defend or made a party to any action or proceeding in any way connected with this Agreement, the prevailing party in such action or proceeding, in addition to any other relief which may be granted, whether legal or equitable, shall be entitled to reasonable attorney’s fees. Attorney’s fees shall include attorney’s fees on any appeal, and in addition a party entitled to attorney’s fees shall be entitled to all other reasonable costs for investigating such action, taking depositions and discovery and all other necessary costs the court allows which are incurred in such litigation.

Citiguard will maintain continuous supervisory oversight through unannounced field inspections, routine quality assurance reviews, and direct communication between field supervisors and City representatives.

To Whom It May Concern,
I am pleased to write this letter of recommendation for Citiguard Security Services, who began providing security services for our offices a few months ago. From the outset, Citiguard has demonstrated a high level of professionalism, responsiveness, and reliability, especially in how they handled an expedited start date across three separate office locations.

Despite the tight timeline, Citiguard mobilized quickly and seamlessly, ensuring that each location was staffed appropriately and on time. Their ability to meet operational demands with short notice is a testament to their experience and organizational strength.

Since coming on board, Citiguard’s security personnel have consistently conducted themselves in a professional and courteous manner. They have integrated well within our office environment and maintained a visible, respectful, and dependable presence.

Equally impressive is Citiguard’s management team. Their communication has been excellent as they keep us informed of all developments, particularly related to staffing and coverage. We appreciate their proactive approach and their willingness to collaborate closely with our team to ensure our needs are fully met.

Overall, I highly recommend Citiguard Security Services to any organization seeking dependable, communicative, and professional security support. They have earned our trust and confidence, and we look forward to our continued partnership.

FROM: Eric Strong, Chief Safety and Security Officer
SUBJECT: LETTER OF RECOMMENDATION
To Whom It May Concern,
As the Chief of Campus Safety and Security Operations for the Los Angeles County Probation Department, I am writing this letter of recommendation on behalf of Citiguard Security Services.

Citiguard Security Services entered in contract with Los Angeles County Probation Department September 1, 2023, to provide weapons screening, perimeter patrol and secure entrance monitoring at two of our juvenile detention facilities. Citiguard provided a carefully selected group of individuals that would bring a higher level of professionalism and experience. At the time of onboarding, our department was experiencing a significant change in security protocols including physical enhancements.

Throughout these changes, Citiguard Account Manager Michael Quiñonez has been readily available and responsive to requests from our Campus Safety and Security Operations (CSSO) team. Michael has been proactive in reporting safety/security concerns and has been a part of the conversations to address the many issues we have encountered during our implementation of new security protocols.

There have been some adjustments made by Citiguard regarding their personnel at various post assignments, yet most of the guards are actively seeking to perform at a high level and are constantly communicating with the CSSO team. CSSO and Citiguard have developed a positive working relationship and we appreciate their collaboration in fostering a safe and secure work environment at both Los Padrinos Juvenile Hall and Barry J. Nidorf Treatment Facility.

To Whom It May Concern,
I am pleased to write this letter of recommendation for Citiguard, who have been an exceptional partner to PATH. Over the course of our relationship, Citiguard has consistently demonstrated reliability, responsiveness, and a genuine commitment to supporting our facilities and the vulnerable populations we serve..

One of the most valuable aspects of working with Citiguard is their ability to provide tailored security solutions that meet the unique needs of each site. They not only ensure posts are staffed—even with frequent or last-minute changes—but also adjust their approach based on the community they are serving. Their guards are trained to engage respectfully and professionally with individuals experiencing homelessness, balancing safety with compassion, which is critical in our work.

Citiguard’s value-added services further set them apart. They provide proactive incident reporting, realtime communication with supervisors, and thorough documentation that allows our teams to stay informed and confident in site operations. Their invoicing is always transparent, accurate, and easy to reconcile, which is invaluable in a fast-paced environment.

Citiguard doesn’t just provide security—they provide peace of mind and compassionate support. We are fortunate to have them as a partner and would confidently recommend them to any organization seeking a reliable, professional, and caring security provider.

Thank you,
Tescia Uribe

Citiguard's staff consistently perform their duties in an efficient, conscientious manner, demonstrating professionalism to all persons they encounter on County property. All Citiguard personnel have exercised good judgment and shown to be courteous, alert, and capable of diffusing confrontational situations. Their problem-solving skills and initiative have proven them to be a reliable choice for our security needs.

I highly recommend Citiguard's services. If you would like any further information about our experience with Citiguard, please feel free to contact me by phone at (530) 621- 5833 or by email at [email protected].

CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: SEPTEMBER 1, 2026
TITLE: APPROVAL OF A CONTRACT VENDOR INCREASE TO AUTHORIZE THE FINAL FOURTH QUARTER FY25-26 PAYMENT FOR THE ANIMAL RESOURCE CENTER OF THE INLAND EMPIRE (ARC).

PAGE: 2

BACKGROUND
The City of Chino partners with neighboring municipalities to provide regional animal welfare and sheltering services through the Animal Resource Center of the Inland Empire (ARC). Under the terms of the Joint Powers Authority agreement, the City of Ontario covers the immediate operational and capital costs. Partnering jurisdictions then reimburse the City of Ontario based on a predetermined cost-share formula. The City of Chino is responsible for a fixed twenty-eight percent (28%) share of the total operational and capital expenses.

ISSUES/ANALYSIS
To ensure precise fiscal management and accountability, the City of Chino budgets and pays its regional animal sheltering obligations based on actual expenditures incurred rather than projected or estimated costs. This methodology prevents the over-allocation of municipal resources and ensures public funds are utilized strictly for verified operational expenses.

Because the agreement is structured around actual expenditures, staff deferred the final quarterly funding request until the City of Ontario finalized year-end accounting and transmitted the fourth quarter invoice. The City has now received the invoice detailing the actual operating costs for the final quarter of Fiscal Year 2025-2026.

The total regional expense for the fourth-quarter member share is $1,680,212.04, resulting in the City of Chino’s twenty-eight percent (28%) share of $470,459.37. This final quarterly obligation requires an increase to the existing contract authority to allow payment of the remaining Fiscal Year 2025-26 balance.

Staff recommends that the City Council approve a retroactive increase to the contract authority from the previously authorized amount of $1,989,204.00, approved by the City Council on April 7, 2026, to a total not-to-exceed amount of $2,043,791.90. No additional appropriation is required, as sufficient funds are available within the adopted Fiscal Year 2025-26 budget. 114

RECOMMENDATION
1) Approve an agreement with San Bernardino County and the City of Chino in the amount of $4,000,000, of which $2,000,000 will be provided from the Fourth District’s Priorities Program budget and $2,000,000 will be provided from the San Bernardino County Library Budget Unit; and 2) establish a non-capital project number R8291 for tracking purposes; and 3) authorize the City Manager to execute all documents on behalf of the City. ..body

FISCAL IMPACT
The County will provide $4 million to the City upon project completion, anticipated in Summer 2028, which will be disbursed to the City’s Master Developer, Lewis Management Corporation.

The City’s required $500,000 matching contribution will be funded by The Preserve Development Impact Fee Fund 265 (Public Use Facilities). Sufficient fund balance is available for this purpose. No appropriation is requested as part of this action. Upon completion of the project, Staff will return to the City Council for approval of the necessary budget appropriations for the County funding and the City’s required matching contribution.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: SEPTEMBER 1, 2026
TITLE: AGREEMENT WITH SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY FOR FUNDING OF THE NEW PRESERVE COMMUNITY CENTER/COUNTY LIBRARY BUILDING.

PAGE: 2

BACKGROUND
The development of The Preserve area includes the construction of a Community Center and Library building required by the development agreement with Lewis Operating Corporation (LOC). As conditioned by the Preserve Development Agreement, the developer is required to design and construct a building in lieu of paying development impact fees for this City facility.

The Community Center is part of the Town Center block project located south of Market Avenue and east of Main Street. The total development will include a new 10+ acre public park adjacent to the Community Center.

ISSUES/ANALYSIS
Since July 2023, representatives from Lewis Operating Corporation, County Library, and City have met monthly to develop the conceptual design of the joint-use facility. The building is designed to serve both community and library needs and will include a public library with two maker space rooms, computer lab, and several shared-use areas, including public and staff restrooms, a covered outdoor stage, and a staff break/copy room. Additional community amenities include a basketball gymnasium, banquet room, and multiple multipurpose rooms.

To support the project, the County has committed $4,000,000 toward construction of the building. The County's investment reflects its commitment to expanding educational and literacy resources, as the new library, maker space, and computer lab will enhance learning opportunities and access to technology to residents.

Staff recommends that the City Council approve the agreement with the County of San Bernardino for the project funding in the amount of $4 million and authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement on behalf of the City.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: SEPTEMBER 1, 2026
TITLE: REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT FOR HUMAN SERVICES PROGRAMS FOR RESIDENTS OF CHINO HILLS.

PAGE: 2

BACKGROUND
The City of Chino Community Services, Parks & Recreation Department has a long-standing history of providing Human Services programs to all students in the Chino Valley Unified School District (CVUSD). The CVUSD is unable to employ the expert staff to facilitate these programs; therefore, contracts with the City of Chino (Chino) to offer these services.

These programs are funded by grants the CVUSD receives and some of the administrative costs are not reimbursable. Due to the positive impacts of these programs, CVUSD and Chino contribute to the ongoing program costs not covered by the grants.

The City of Chino Hills (Chino Hills) also sees the benefits of these programs and reimburses Chino for the direct and indirect costs associated with the services provided to Chino Hills’ residents. Chino Hills has received these services for more than 20 years.

ISSUES/ANALYSIS
The projected cost to operate the City of Chino’s Human Services programs for FY 2026-27 is $1,487,738. Of this amount, Chino expects to receive $729,598 in grant funding that offsets program expenses. After applying these grants, the net cost to the City is $758,140. Under this agreement, the City of Chino Hills agrees to reimburse Chino approximately $303,256, representing 40% of the net cost.

The Human Services programs provided for Chino Hills residents in the 2026-2027 school year are:
 HOPE Family Resource Centers
 McKinney-Vento CARE (Credit Academic Recovery Education) Program  Teen Counseling
 Youth Counseling
The Chino Hills City Council approved this agreement at its August 11, 2026, meeting.

TITLE: REVISIONS TO UNREPRESENTED MANAGEMENT JOB CLASSIFICATIONS AND SALARY ADJUSTMENTS.

PAGE: 2

BACKGROUND
The Finance Department has experienced significant changes in operational demands, regulatory requirements, financial reporting responsibilities, internal controls, and customer service expectations. As the Department's responsibilities have evolved, its current organizational structure no longer adequately supports operational needs, resulting in inefficiencies in workload distribution, supervisory oversight, and succession planning.

To help evaluate the Department's organizational structure, the City retained Gallagher, an independent classification and compensation consulting firm, to conduct a comprehensive review of the Finance Department’s positions and salaries. Based on Gallagher’s assessment, recommendations are being proposed to modernize the Finance Department by reclassifying positions, creating new positions, updating job classifications, and revising salary ranges to maintain internal equity and external market competitiveness.

This restructuring is intended to improve operational efficiency, strengthen financial oversight and internal controls, provide opportunities for employee development and career progression, and better position the Finance Department to meet the City's current and future needs.

ISSUES/ANALYSIS
Staff worked with Gallagher to review and update job classifications for positions in the Finance Department. As a result, staff recommends a combination of position reclassifications, new classifications, and salary range adjustments. These proposed changes are intended to align job classifications with current duties; right-size the Department to support the current and future service demands of internal and external customers; improve workload distribution and supervisory oversight; create clearer separation of duties; establish succession planning; and support recruitment efforts and employee retention.

Consistent with Gallagher’s compensation analysis, salary range adjustments are being recommended to address internal inequities and bring some of the following classifications to the median of the City’s comparable agencies. It is also being recommended that the following classifications be designated as Unrepresented Management Employees based on their level of responsibility and independent judgment required to perform their duties.

Summary of Proposed Position and Salary Changes:

Accounting Manager
Staff recommends the reclassification of the Fiscal Services Manager to Accounting Manager. This reclassification accurately reflects the position's responsibilities, including Classification Title Current Salary Proposed Salary % Inc Accounting Manager (Replaces Fiscal Services Mgr) $102,019.00 – 134,921.00 $122,568.00 – 162,096.00 20.14% Budget Manager $109,864.00 – 145,295.00 $122,568.00 – 162,096.00 11.56% Revenue Manager (Replaces Utility Billing Manager) $99,532.00 – 131,630.00 $113,984.00 – 150,744.00 14.52% Purchasing Manager $99,532.00 – 131,630.00 $109,865.00 – 145,296.00 10.38% Accounting Supervisor (Replaces Payroll Supvr) $85,826.00 – 113,505.00 $91,862.00 – 121,488.00 7.03% Budget Analyst (Replaces Management Analyst) $90,170.00 – 119,250.00 $90,170.00 – 119,250.00 0.00% Senior Purchasing Analyst (Unfunded) N/A $92,425.00 – 122,232.00 N/A 148

oversight of the City's accounting and financial reporting, cash management, debt management, accounts payable, and payroll functions. A 20.14% salary adjustment, at top step, is recommended to maintain market competitiveness and align the position with the Budget Manager classification.

Budget Manager
The Budget Manager position, which oversees the City’s entire budget development and administration process, is recommended for an 11.56% salary adjustment to maintain market competitiveness and bring the Budget Manager to the median among the City’s comparable agencies.

Revenue Manager
In August 2025, the City retitled this position from Utility Billing Manager to Revenue Manager, to align the classification with its expanded responsibilities, which now include management of City-wide revenues. A 14.52% salary adjustment is recommended to maintain market competitiveness and bring the Revenue Manager to the median among the City’s comparable agencies. The job classification has also been updated to reflect the Revenue Manager’s duties.

Purchasing Manager
The job classification has been updated to reflect the Purchasing Manager’s duties and scope of work. A 10.38% salary adjustment is recommended to bring the Purchasing Manager to the median among the City’s comparable agencies.

Accounting Supervisor
Staff recommends reclassifying the Payroll Supervisor to Accounting Supervisor. This new classification, which reports to the Accounting Manager, accurately reflects the position's expanded responsibilities. As a new classification, a salary range must be established. Staff recommends a salary range representing a 7.03% increase over the current Payroll Supervisor classification.

Budget Analyst
Budget Analyst is currently used as a working title for the Management Analyst assigned to the Finance Department. Staff recommends establishing Budget Analyst as a separate classification to better reflect the position's duties and provide clearer succession planning within the Budget Division. The Budget Analyst classification will maintain the same salary range as the Management Analyst classification.

Senior Purchasing Analyst
Gallagher also recommends creating a new Senior Purchasing Analyst classification to support future succession planning within the Purchasing Division. This advanced, journey-level position will be responsible for handling increasingly complex procurement activities. A salary range for 149

this new classification has been established based on Gallagher’s survey using the City’s comparable agencies. However, the Department will not be funding this classification at this time and staff is only asking for the classification to be approved for future succession planning.

Approval of this organizational restructuring requires amendments to the City's Compensation and Benefit Plan for Unrepresented Management Employees to incorporate the recommended reclassifications, newly established classifications, and salary ranges. The City Council must also approve the new and revised job classifications for each affected position.

Implementation of the recommended salary adjustments will result in ongoing total salary and benefit costs of approximately $104,670 for all funds, with an effective date of September 14, 2026.
