MEASURE I

SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY

BY THE NUMBERS
Promises Made — Promises Kept
When the voters of San Bernardino County overwhelmingly approved the Measure extension in 2004, it came with a commitment by SBCTA to deliver on the promises of a better transportation system.

That promise has been kept as the agency
continues to offer more choices for
how we move to and through our
beautiful county.

Measure I has participated in the delivery of
projects in a wide range of its programs, totaling
$2.9 billion, with Measure I contributing
$682 million.

More than $700 Million
has been returned to local
jurisdictions for projects like
sidewalks, pothole repairs, and
improved signalization
at intersections.

USDOT, and revenue generated by Measure I

Staff Report

Meeting Date: October 7, 2025
To: City Council
From: Bill Smith, City Manager
Prepared By: Chad Blais, PW & Utility Services Director Item Name: Agreement - City of San Bernardino - Cooperative Agreement Between Colton and City of San Bernardino for the Installation of Traffic Signal at the Intersection Stewart St./Harwick Dr./Hunts Lane (Project).

Recommended Action:

It is recommended that the City Council:

1. Approve Cooperative Agreement between the City of Colton and the City of San Bernardino for the installation of a Traffic Signal at the Intersection of Stewart St./Harwick Dr./Hunts Lane Project.

2. Authorize the City Manager to execute the Cooperative Agreement with the City of San Bernardino for the Installation of a Traffic Signal at the Intersection of Stewart St./Harwick Dr./Hunts Lane Project.

Background:

The intersection of Stewart St./Harwick Dr./Hunts Lane is a shared intersection between the City of Colton and the City of San Bernardino. The city limit is along the centerline of Hunts Lane, the east side of the intersection belongs to City of San Bernardino, and the west side belongs to the City of Colton. Hunts Lane is an arterial road that connects the two cities with average daily traffic of 10,000 vehicles per day. Attached as Exhibit A is the map of the project location.

Issues/Analysis:

On September 28, 2024, City of San Bernardino staff informed City of Colton staff that the intersection Stewart St./Harwick Dr./Hunts Lane is warranted for installation of a traffic signal based on traffic count and analysis they conducted on March 7, 2024. Since the analysis showed the intersection is warranted for a traffic signal, City of San Bernardino staff indicated their intent to explore the possibility of having a joint project and work on a cooperative agreement for

Page 98 of 259 ends

the installation of traffic signal at this intersection. The estimated cost for the design and construction of the traffic signal at this intersection is $770,000 and Colton's share is $385,000.

City of Colton staff informed the City of San Bernardino at that time that there is no available capital improvement account to fund the City share.

In the FY 25/26 approved budget, City staff included a request to fund the City share for the installation of traffic signal at this intersection, and are ready to proceed with the approval of the cooperative agreement. The cooperative agreement between the two cities identifies each agency’s role for the project (see attached Exhibit B). The City of San Bernardino will be the lead agency for the project. As lead agency, the City of San Bernardino will be responsible for preparation of plans, specifications and estimates, environmental documents, construction, and project management. Below is the project schedule:

1. Design/Pre-construction Phase – Jan 2026 to December 2026

2. Construction Phase – January 2027 to December 2027

After construction, the City of San Bernardino will be responsible for the maintenance of the traffic signal and the maintenance costs will be shared equally between the two cities.

Fiscal Impacts:

The estimated cost of the project is $770,000, and the City of Colton's share for the project is $385,000. Sufficient appropriations for this project are available in the adopted FY 2025-26 budget in the following accounts:

1. Measure I - 218-2619-6150-3890 = $192,500.00

2. Traffic Impact Fee – 249-2624-6150-3890 = $192,500.00 Total = $385,000.00

Alternatives:

1. Provide alternative directions to staff.

Page 103 of 259 ends

COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT
Hunts lane & Harwick Road

Page 4 of 10 ends

IT IS MUTUALLY AGREED:

1. After SAN BERNARDINO’s and COLTON’s acceptance of completed PROJECT, COLTON shall be responsible for performing any and all work (including, but not limited to, maintenance) for the PROJECT limits that are in COLTON’s incorporated area and SAN BERNARDINO shall be responsible for performing any and all work (including, but not limited to, maintenance) for the PROJECT limits that are in SAN BERNARDINO’s incorporated area.

2. Neither COLTON nor any officer or employee of COLTON shall be responsible for any damage or liability occurring by reason of any acts or omissions on the part of SAN BERNARDINO under or in connection with any work, authority or jurisdiction delegated to or determined to be the responsibility of SAN BERNARDINO under this Agreement. It is also understood and agreed that, pursuant to Government Code, Section 895.4, SAN BERNARDINO shall fully indemnify, defend and hold COLTON harmless from any liability imposed for injury (as defined by Government Code section 810.8) occurring by reason of any acts or omissions on the part of SAN BERNARDINO under or in connection with any work, authority or jurisdiction delegated to or determined to be the responsibility of SAN BERNARDINO under this Agreement.

3. Neither SAN BERNARDINO nor any officer or employee of SAN BERNARDINO shall be responsible for any damage or liability occurring by reason of any acts or omissions on the part of COLTON under or in connection with any work, authority or jurisdiction delegated to or determined to be the responsibility of COLTON under this Agreement. It is also understood and agreed that, pursuant to Government Code, Section 895.4, COLTON shall fully indemnify, defend and hold SAN BERNARDINO harmless from any liability imposed for injury (as defined by Government Code section 810.8) occurring by reason of any acts or omissions on the part of COLTON under or in connection with any work, authority or jurisdiction delegated to or determined to be the responsibility of COLTON under this Agreement.

4. COLTON and SAN BERNARDINO are authorized self-insured public entities for purposes of Professional Liability, Automobile Liability, General Liability and Worker’s Compensation, and warrant that through their respective programs of self-insurance they have adequate coverage or resources to protect against liabilities arising out of COLTON and SAN BERNARDINO’s performance of the terms, conditions or obligations of this Agreement.

5. The Parties acknowledge that actual PROJECT costs may ultimately exceed current estimates of PROJECT costs. Any additional PROJECT costs resulting from increased bid prices, increased engineering costs, change orders, or arising from unforeseen site conditions, including utility relocation (but not from requested additional work by COLTON or SAN BERNARDINO, which is addressed in paragraph 8 below) over the estimated total of the PROJECT’s cost of $770,000 (which is the sum of $385,000 from COLTON and $385,000 from SAN BERNARDINO) shall be borne by each PARTY based upon where the work is required (i.e. whether the work is required in COLTON’s or SAN BERNARDINO’s jurisdiction) up to the amounts set forth in Section I paragraph 11 and Section II paragraph 4, respectively.

6. If either COLTON or SAN BERNARDINO requests additional work that is beyond the scope of the original PROJECT, and not considered by all Parties to be a necessary part of the PROJECT, said work, if approved by both Parties pursuant to paragraph 17 will be paid solely by the agency requesting the work.

7. In the case wherein one of the Parties owns a utility that needs to be relocated for the PROJECT and that PARTY does not have prior rights for that utility, it will be the sole responsibility of that PARTY to relocate the utility at that PARTY’s cost. This shall not be included as a PROJECT cost.

In the case that a utility relocation is determined to be a PROJECT cost based on that utility having prior rights, the relocation of the utility will be included as a PROJECT cost for which COLTON and

Page 104 of 259 ends

COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT
Hunts lane & Harwick Road

Page 5 of 10 ends

SAN BERNARDINO will be responsible for funding the work located within their respective boundaries.

8. As design progresses, if it is found by SAN BERNARDINO’s Director of Public Works, or the Director’s designee, that a cost overrun of 10% or more of the estimated total of the PROJECT costs will occur, SAN BERNARDINO shall provide COLTON notice of this fact and SAN BERNARDINO and COLTON shall endeavor to agree upon an alternative course of action, including amending the cost estimates. If, after thirty (30) days of SAN BERNARDINO’s notice, an alternative course of action is not mutually agreed upon in writing between COLTON and SAN BERNARDINO, this Agreement shall be deemed to be terminated by mutual consent.

9. SAN BERNARDINO shall notify COLTON of the bids received and the amounts thereof. In the event that either PARTY intends to cancel this Agreement based upon the bids or amount thereof, said PARTY shall notify the other PARTY at a reasonable time prior to the awarding of a contract to construct the PROJECT to avoid any detrimental reliance by either PARTY, contractor or potential contractor.

10. If after opening bids for the PROJECT, it is found that the responsive and responsible low bid amount is 110% of or less than the construction cost shown in Exhibit B, SAN BERNARDINO may award the contract.

11. If, upon opening of bids, it is found that the responsive and responsible low bid amount is greater than 110% of the construction cost shown in Exhibit B or an Amended Exhibit B pursuant to paragraph 10 of the Agreement, SAN BERNARDINO shall not award the contract unless: 1) SAN BERNARDINO receives written permission from COLTON’s City Engineer or designee, to proceed with the award; and 2) COLTON’s City Council approves the award of the construction contract. If the above described conditions are not met, COLTON and SAN BERNARDINO shall endeavor to agree upon an alternative course of action, including re-bidding of the PROJECT. If, after thirty (30) days of the bid opening, an alternative course of action is not mutually agreed upon in writing, this Agreement shall be deemed to be terminated by mutual consent.

12. In the event that change orders are required during the course of the PROJECT, said change orders must be in form and substance as set forth in “Exhibit B”, which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference, and approved by both COLTON and SAN BERNARDINO. Contract Change Order forms will be delivered by email and must be returned within five (5) business days. COLTON shall not unreasonably withhold approval of change orders. If a COLTON disapproved or modified change order is later found to cause an additional cost to the PROJECT, then COLTON shall be responsible for any additional costs, awards, judgments or settlements associated with the disapproved or modified change order.

13. This Agreement may be cancelled upon thirty (30) days advance written notice of either PARTY, provided however, that neither PARTY may cancel this Agreement after SAN BERNARDINO awards a contract to construct the PROJECT. In the event of cancellation as provided herein, including termination pursuant to paragraphs 10, 11 and 13 above, all PROJECT expenses occurred prior to the effective date of cancellation/termination shall be paid by the Parties in the same proportion to their contribution for the PROJECT. The PARTIES recognize and agree that the provisions governing utility relocation and construction are dependent upon the PARTIES first satisfying CEQA.

As provided in this paragraph, the Agreement may be cancelled with or without cause, before, during and after CEQA review/approval.

14. Except as provided in paragraph 15, and except for the PARTIES’ operation, maintenance and indemnification obligations contained herein which shall survive termination, this Agreement shall

Staff Report

Meeting Date: October 7, 2025
To: City Council
From: Bill Smith, City Manager
Prepared By: Anthony Vega, Chief of Police
Item Name: Agreement - Social Work Action Group (SWAG) - Approve Contract Agreement with Social Work Action Group (SWAG).

Recommended Action:

1. Approve an agreement between the City of Colton and Social Work Action Group (SWAG) to assist with an increase in unsheltered, homeless individuals in the City in the amount of $556,296.00; and,

2. Dispense with competitive bidding in accordance with Colton Municipal Code Section

3.08.140(e).

Background:

Social Work Action Group (SWAG) provides street-based outreach, intensive case management, and housing navigation services. Their mission is to engage with individuals experiencing homelessness, connect them to vital social services, and facilitate long-term housing stability.

The City has partnered with SWAG since October 2024 to supplement existing public safety and social service efforts by providing professional social workers who specialize in addressing the complex needs of unsheltered individuals to work with the department's MET team. This collaboration has been proven effective, reducing the reliance on law enforcement as the primary point of contact for homelessness-related calls and providing an evidence-based approach to addressing chronic homelessness. This dynamic partnership has resulted in over 34 individuals transitioning into long-term solutions to living on the streets of Colton.

Issues/Analysis:

SWAG staff are deployed in coordination with the Police Department to proactively engage individuals experiencing homelessness. Their services include:

Page 111 of 259 ends

• Conducting outreach to individuals in encampments, public spaces, and high-need areas. • Providing case management, including connections to medical, mental health, and substance abuse treatment resources.
• Assisting clients in obtaining identification, benefits, and employment services. • Coordinating with housing providers to secure shelter placements and long-term housing solutions.
• Offering follow-up support to ensure individuals remain connected to services after housing placement.

Since the partnership began, SWAG has successfully engaged dozens of individuals within the City, with many connected to temporary shelter and some transitioned into permanent housing.

Their trauma-informed, client-centered approach reduces repeat police contacts, alleviates calls for service related to homelessness, and improves the quality of life for both unsheltered individuals and the broader community.

Fiscal Impacts:

Sufficient appropriations for the agreement with SWAG are available for carryover to the FY2025-26 adopted budget in General Fund Professional Services Account Number 100-6070- 6071-2350-0000-000.

Alternatives:

Provide alternative direction to staff.

Page 112 of 259 ends

1 Social Work Action Group Addressing the Homeless in the City of Colton FY 2025-2026 Strategic Plan To address the increase of unsheltered homeless individuals in the City of Colton, Social Work Action Group (SWAG) has prepared a Strategic Plan of Action. The Strategic Plan specifically targets unsheltered individuals, families, and encampments to reduce the number of visible homeless residing in the City of Colton. With the assistance of Colton Police Department, SWAG will identify and address individuals and geographical areas of concern to prioritize our efforts. SWAG will provide consistent outreach and case management services to those most in need, with the ultimate goal of mitigating an individual’s root cause(s) of their homelessness and to live a fulfilling and meaningful life. SWAG will reduce the homeless population both visibly and documented through the annual Point-in-Time Count. Simultaneously, SWAG will engage, educate, and encourage the community of Colton to collaborate efforts and spread the message of Responsible Compassion. 1. Census of unsheltered homeless In every community, it is vital to conduct a thorough and comprehensive census of the unsheltered homeless population. City staff, Colton Police Department, and SWAG will work together to accurately locate, identify, survey and track, through the creation of a by-name list. A comprehensive assessment will provide an in-depth look at the individual, the circumstances and incidents that led to homelessness, such as severe trauma(s). We will also detail one’s connections and support systems in the city to leverage those individuals and incorporate those resources. This information will be used to develop an individualized action plan. This will be done on an ongoing basis as new individuals enter the city. 2. Outreach to the unsheltered homeless Street outreach must be intensive, consistent, and strategic and needs the partnership of law enforcement and successful utilization and navigation of systems of care; behavioral health, and substance abuse treatment. Our team is comprised of individuals with specialized backgrounds in behavioral health, substance abuse, and social work who have a fundamental understanding of human development and behaviors. When we develop an action plan, we follow a flow chart that directs our activities and interactions with the individual to achieve specific outcomes, both short and long term. 3. Outreach to the community at-large SWAG will develop informational content, which will include material for an anti-panhandling/ compassionate giving campaign and disseminate it throughout the community, as we believe coordination of efforts is essential. The campaign will encourage stakeholders, faith-based

Page 113 of 259 ends

2 groups, community groups, businesses, and concerned residents to discourage well-intended activities that enable the chronically homeless to remain on the streets and focus their efforts on long-term solutions. This will be done through the distribution of posters, flyers and electronic format. SWAG will begin with addressing community partners, which include first responders, service providers, faith-based organizations, non-profits, community groups and businesses. 4. Trip Home/ Family Reunification When an individual is found living on the streets of Colton and wants to reconnect with family or a positive support system, we will initiate the Trip Home/ Family Reunification process. First, SWAG will contact the family/ support system to ensure they are willing to accept and house the individual. Next, the Family Reunification/ Trip Home request will be submitted to the SWAG Project Coordinator for approval. The SWAG Outreach Team will purchase a Greyhound bus ticket and ensure the individual boards the bus. SWAG team will contact the family or support system to confirm the individual made it to the destination. Finally, SWAG will submit a request for reimbursement for the cost of Greyhound bus ticket along with all applicable documentation. Scope of Services The term of services will be July 1, 2025-June 30, 2026. SWAG will provide the following activities and services: • Assist with the organization and facilitation of the Point-in-Time Count for January 2026. • Respond to homeless service requests made by city staff, and law enforcement in a timely manner. • All individuals encountered will be included in the by-name census for the City of Colton. • Provide immediate crisis stabilization to those experiencing behavioral health, physical crisis and emergencies and connection to behavioral health and substance abuse treatment services. • Case manage individuals that are in treatment and temporary living situations to help ensure they do not return to the streets. • Facilitate trips home/family reunification utilizing bus trips for individuals wanting to reunite with an identified support system that is out of the Colton area. • Conduct San Bernardino County housing assessments to unsheltered homeless individuals and families and provide navigation services to any applicable housing interventions. • Facilitate community asset mapping for strategic coordination and alignment of community resources that serve at-risk/homeless population. • Provide support to the City of Colton through trainings, presentations and sharing updates related to trends in regional homeless efforts. • Attend and participate in City Council meetings, as requested.

The City of Colton has made notable progress over the past five years by competitively compensating Colton Fire Fighters in the local labor market. This effort has helped retain and attract staff, leading to fewer vacancies and successful recruitments. The contract continues this initiative with increased economic benefits for Colton Fire members. These negotiation results reflect the direction given to staff during the negotiation process.

Fiscal Impacts:

The total estimated cost of the contract is as follows:

▪ Increase appropriations by $545,927 in General Fund Fire Operations Salaries - Miscellaneous Account Number 100-6090-6091-1010-0000-000 ▪ Increase appropriations by $4,402 in General Fund Fire Operations Salaries - Overtime (FLSA) Account Number 100-6090-6091-1056-0000-000

While sufficient reserve balance is available to support the appropriation, this action will require a reassessment of reserve levels and funding priorities during the mid-year budget review.

The FY2026-27 Budget will incorporate the projected ongoing impact of approximately $844,283 annually.

When absent for more than three (3) consecutively scheduled workdays, the employee may file a physician's certificate or work release indicating the employee was unable to perform their duties during their absence. Failure to file the necessary documents w ithin two (2) days following the return to work will be cause for such absence to be charged as leave without pay. Physician's certificate or work release form may be requested by the immediate supervisor if a potential sick leave abuse pattern appears to be developing. On a case -by-case basis, if an employee called out sick, and does not have enough accrual leave time in their sick leave bank, they will not be charged to any other accrual bank and be without pay. This does not apply to an employee on protective leave (i.e. workers’ comp, FMLA/CFRA, etc.)

Sick Leave Reports
In order to receive compensation while absent on sick leave, the employee shall notify the immediate supervisor or Staffing Captain prior the time set for beginning daily duties. When absence is for more than three (3) work days, a supervisor may request that the employee file a physician's certificate or a personal affidavit with the Human Resources Director, stating the cause of the absence.

Page 35 of 47 ends

have to give employer proof to use leave for these reasons. However, employees should tell the City before taking time off. In some instances, the City may request proof, and in those instances employees will not be disciplined if explaining the reason for your absence within a reasonable time. Proof can be a police report, a court order, a document from a licensed medical professional, a victim advocate, a licensed health care provider, or counselor showing that you were undergoing treatment for domestic v iolence related trauma, or a written statement signed by you, or an individual acting on your behalf, certifying that the absence is for an authorized purpose.

Employees are encouraged to speak with Human Resources staff if or when the need arises. HR Staff will provide discretion and confidentiality to employees that need help.

That sum is determined as follows:

The number of hours of sick leave accrued, multiplied by the hourly rate earnings at the time of separation multiplied by a percentage as follows:

If employed more than five (5) years but less than ten (10) 10% If employed more than ten (10) years but less than fifteen (15) 25% If employed more than fifteen (15) years but less than twenty (20) 50% If employed twenty (20) years or more 75%

The cash value shall be computed at the employee's hourly rate in existence at the time the monies are disbursed.

Retiring employees are eligible to convert 100% of their accumulated unused sick leave to CalPERS service credit. Employees interested in electing this benefit shall submit a written request to Human Resources prior to the last date of employment. Eligibility for this benefit is determined by City’s CalPERS contract and applicable CalPERS rules and regulations.

A. Definitions
ACTING TIME: Acting positions are to be used to fill long-term vacancies only.

AMOUNT OF PERSONNEL ALLOWED OFF: Once the scheduled overtime for a month has been issued, any number of personnel may be allowed off. Personnel must find their own replacement by inputting their requested days off into the Telestaff program. Telestaff will outbound vacant shifts for coverage after 10:00 a.m. each morning. Short notice vacancies may require a Captain to outbound the shift for coverage. It is the employee’s responsibility to ensure that the shift has been out bounded and covered. The departme nt is only responsible for covering vacancies for primary and secondary vacation or holiday.

The department will be responsible for filling leave due to illness, injury, bereavement, or department business.

DEPARTMENT BUSINESS TIME: Whenever personnel are on-duty but are not available for emergency calls, they cannot be included as on duty personnel and must be replaced by overtime personnel.

EMERGENCY STAFFING: This overtime is incident related and is used to cover for depleted staffing from strike teams, task forces, local incidents, etc. This will also cover personnel off duty that are on incidents, which may take them past their regular duty hours.

If there is a time period before the coverage is needed, not immediate need with emergency calls waiting, the personnel calling back coverage should ref er to the "Constant Staffing Policy" to provide the coverage needed. Emergency overtime will be paid at a rate of time and one-half based on a 40 -hour weekly equivalent hourly rate. This rate will be referred to as overtime 1. Emergency overtime hours worked will be logged in the Telestaff.

HOLIDAYS: In order for constant staffing to work, personnel cannot be expected to be forced in on some holidays. Therefore, if personnel wish to have the listed holidays off they will have to find their own coverage, unless personnel have signed up to work on those holidays in Telestaff. The days off will be given to the most senior personnel by rank that wishes to have that day off. An employee who has taken a given holiday off may not take it two years in succession. The day will be given to the next senior person in that rank desiring that day off.

HOURS TRACKING: All overtime related to staffing training and emergency overtime will be logged in Telestaff.

On January 2nd of each calendar year, the hours personnel have attained from the previous year will be zeroed out and personnel will be ranked in Telestaff by order of seniority in the Department.

Page 166 of 259 ends
Page 40 of 47 ends

LONG TERM VACANCIES: A known vacancy in excess of five (5) shifts, created by other than vacations and holidays.

NEW EMPLOYEES: New hires will not be eligible for overtime until they have been on shift for three months. After three months, they will be included in Telestaff and be positioned in their respective rank based on the average number of hours for all employees in that rank.

NON-EMERGENCY STAFFING: Overtime used to cover for vacancies of line personnel who are off duty for vacations, holidays, sick leave, bereavement leave, injury leave, department business, and planned coverage of equipment for periods of high call loads.

This overtime is paid at time and one-half the employee's regular rate of pay; this overtime rate will be referred to as overtime 2. This overtime is assigned and tracked by Telestaff based on the guidelines listed in the “Constant Staffing Policy”. ( Refer to Colton Fire Department Operations Manual).

PARTIAL SHIFTS: Partial shifts are to be considered anything less than 24 hours. If on- duty personnel are to be off any amount of time, overtime personnel will be called in for the total time absent. Personnel requesting use of Vacation or Holiday time of less than 4 hours must cover their own partial shift with appropriate personnel. Personnel requesting use of Vacation or Holiday time of 4 hours or more may have the partial shift covered with the normal monthly scheduled staffing provided appropriate pers onnel are available to work.

PENALTIES: If an employee refuses to report for required duty without a valid excuse as outlined in the Colton Fire Department Rules and Regulations, the employee shall be subject to penalties described in those rules and regulations.

If an employee should sign up on the staffing pool list and then refuse the overtime hours, the employee then is credited for those overtime hours without pay in Telestaff. (This will not reflect on hours worked to lower on the overtime force hire list).

PRIMARY AND SECONDARY VACATION OR HOLIDAY: Employees may designate any vacation or holiday period as a primary or secondary vacation or holiday. Each employee is allowed only one (1) primary and one (1) secondary leave per calendar year.

Primary and Secondary leaves shall be covered by force hiring personnel if necessary, however, an employee off on Primary or Secondary leave shall not be subject to being force hired. Primary and Secondary leaves shall be a minimum of 24 hours.

PROMOTIONS: Employees that are promoted or change rank for any reason will retain their hours from their previous rank and transfer the hours to their new rank. This does not apply to holiday hours for employees moving from shift to a non-shift position, and/or vice versa; their holiday hours will be cashed out.

REQUIRED STAFFING/FORCE HIRE: The non -voluntary recall to duty. When scheduled staffing or the staffing pool cannot cover personnel leaves, personnel may be

Page 167 of 259 ends
Page 41 of 47 ends

required to report to duty. This is to be used only when all means of coverage have been exhausted. The employee with the least amount of overtime hours is considered force hired.

This means that the employee will be required to work the overtime. However, that person will be able throughout the required duty to try to obtain coverage for the remainder of the overtime requirement.

SENIORITY: Time in the Department.

SCHEDULED STAFFING: Overtime to cover vacancies known about prior to the 15th of the month preceding the month the vacancies will occur. Employees may sign up in Telestaff at any time; however, they must sign up by the 15th of each month to be eligible for scheduled staffing for the following month. Example: Sign up by March 15th to be eligible for April scheduled staffing.

SHIFT: Any 24-hour period beginning at 0800 hours.

STAFFING POOL/MANPOWER POOL: This is for department use only and used to cover for short notice vacancies. It is a voluntary way to sign up to work in case of short notice vacancies other than vacation or holidays. After 1700 hours on any given day, this becomes the priority list for that evening or the next day. This list is valid until 0830 the next day. Personnel who sign up for the manpower pool are assuring their availability to work and must accept an assignment when called. Failure to accept an assig nment will result in hours credited to that employee’s total. Multiple abuses of the manpower pool could result in disciplinary action.

TELESTAFF: A computer-based program used by the Colton Fire Department to manage the staffing needs of the Department.

UNSCHEDULED STAFFING: Any staffing not covered on the monthly scheduled staffing calendar.

a. Refer to Telestaff for a vailable personnel. Exception: If it is between 1700 hours the night before and 0830 hours the day the overtime is to be filled, then fill from the staffing pool list first.

b. Refer to the staffing pool list and call back person with lowest hours signed up in the vacant rank. If two or more personnel have the same number of hours, it is then given in order of seniority from most senior to least senior. If unable to fill vacancy from staffing pool then refer to unscheduled staffing "bucket" list.

2. Force Hire List Procedure:

a. The Captain will consult the Telestaff hours tally and determine which employee of the required rank has the lowest number of hours. This employee will be required to report to duty, if necessary.

b. The actual phone call:

The employee who will be forced hire shall be called first. The employee will be told of the call back and told will be required to work unless another employee accepts the call back. The force hire employee will be instructed to remain available for either a phone call, to notify that someone else has taken the call back, or that, they will have to work.

c. The Captain will then contact in order, all the other employees eligible to work overtime. If no other employee will work the call back, the Captain will then call the forced hire employee placed and require that the employee report to duty.

Page 169 of 259 ends
Page 43 of 47 ends

There may be occasions when the employee with the lowest overtime hours cannot be forced hire.

1. The employee is on sick leave or injury leave,

2. The lowest employee is on primary or secondary vacation or holiday,

3. When the employee will be required to work over a 96 hour shift,

4. An employee will be required to report to duty within 96 hours of a previous force hire.

When this occurs, the next lowest employee will be forced hire.

E. Station Coverage Until Call Back Is Secured

Until the call back arrives at the designated station, the employee of the required rank at the station must remain on duty.

F. Recall of the Force Hire

When an employee other than the potential force d hire employee accepts an assignment the “In the Bucket” employee must be recalled to let the employee know they are no longer subject to call back.

If assigned overtime by either scheduled overtime, staffing pool or force d hire, an employee will always have the option of giving the overtime to another person of equal qualification. The assigned employee should ask a Captain to remove their name from the assigned shift and outbound the created vacancy. The assigned employee is still responsible to work the shift until another employee accepts it. It is the sole responsibility of the assigned employee to assure that the shift has been filed.

G. Scheduled Staffing

Personnel will be able to sign up for the next month by the 15th of the previous month. (Example: To schedule overtime staffing for planned vacations for April, personnel will have to sign up for overtime by the 15th of March.)

Personnel will be chosen for overtime on each day by number of previously scheduled overtime staffing hours.

Procedure:
a. Personnel will access Telestaff via Fire Department or home computer system.

Personnel will highlight the days in which they are available to work and choose the work code “scheduled staffing” on their Telestaff calendar.

b. Telestaff will assign personnel to the vacant shifts by the 20th of each month for the upcoming month. Personnel can check their Telestaff calendar for assignments.

Page 170 of 259 ends
Page 44 of 47 ends

c. Once a person has been assigned a shift the employee is responsible to work that shift.

If for some reason a person cannot work an assigned shift , the employee will be responsible for filing the shift via the process described previously

d. Once the scheduled overtime has been assigned to a person, it is logged into Telestaff.

e. Personnel are assigned staffing assignments based on the number of hours logged in Telestaff. If two or more personnel have the same number of hours, the overtime will be given to the most senior person.

f. Unless otherwise indicated by an employee, no employee will be given more than two (2) partial overtimes during the monthly staffing scheduling.

H. Manpower Pool

Personnel who wish to work overtime on a short notice basis may sign up in Telestaff using the “manpower pool” work code.

I. Hours Tracking

When a person is assigned an overtime under Scheduled staffing, Staffing Pool, or Forced hire, the hours will be recorded at the time of the assignment, not after the employee has worked it.

J. Strike Team Staffing

Staff Report

Meeting Date: October 7, 2025
To: City Council
From: Bill Smith, City Manager
Prepared By: Deb Farrar, Director
Item Name: Contract Amendment - OMNI Cemetery Management - Approve Second Contract Amendment for OMNI Cemetery Management, for Management of Hermosa Gardens Cemetery.

Recommended Action:

Authorize the City Manager to execute contract amendment with OMNI Cemetery Management, to extend contract and increase total contract amount to $750,000.

Background:

On October 1, 2023, the City of Colton resumed full authority of Hermosa Gardens Cemetery and entered into a contract with OMNI Cemetery Management to oversee daily operations.

OMNI has since provided sales, burials, chapel rentals, grounds upkeep, and customer service support, with City staff assisting on weekends, cleaning, and recordkeeping.

In August 2024, the City extended OMNI’s contract for an additional year to address greater operational needs, with Resolution R-89-24 allocating $447,000 in the FY 2024/25 budget for professional services, operational expenses, digitization of records, and capital equipment replacement.

Under OMNI’s management, notable progress has been achieved, including office and chapel renovations, entry gate upgrades, expanded watering, and equipment repairs. Nonetheless, the initial contract significantly underestimated the staffing, funding, and infrastructure required due to poor record conditions, outdated equipment, and long-deferred maintenance.

Issues/Analysis:

Since assuming operations at Hermosa Gardens Cemetery, OMNI Cemetery Management has

Page 175 of 259 ends

worked diligently to stabilize daily operations and restore community trust. While significant progress has been achieved, the scope of work has proven more extensive than originally anticipated. A primary factor is the level of staffing required to meet service demands. The Cemetery Manager regularly works beyond a standard schedule to accommodate families, and additional maintenance staff have been needed to keep pace with grounds upkeep, burials, and facility repairs. These increased staffing costs were not fully captured in the original contract estimates.

In addition, much of the cemetery’s equipment was inherited in a poor state of repair. OMNI has absorbed significant expenses for maintenance, repairs, and temporary solutions to keep daily operations running smoothly. These are costs that should properly be borne by the City to ensure continuity of service and reliability of operations.

Finally, OMNI has also assisted the City in addressing unresolved obligations left by the prior operator, Inland Memorial. This includes curing outstanding contracts and promises made to families that otherwise would have remained unfulfilled. These corrective measures are critical to rebuilding community confidence but carry financial impacts beyond the scope of the original agreement.

To fairly reimburse OMNI for these expenses and provide the necessary resources to continue operations at a high standard, staff recommend amending the agreement to increase the contract amount by $250,000. This adjustment reflects the true cost of providing comprehensive cemetery management services under current conditions and ensures that the City meets both its operational responsibilities and its commitment to families.

In FY 2023/24 and 2024/25, At-Need Cemetery Services revenue exceeded projections for property sales, services, and Mission Chapel reservations. These revenues do not include contributions from the Endowment Care Fund or Pre-Need contract payments. The additional revenue has helped offset operational expenses and is expected to remain steady through the end of the fiscal year.

At this time, no additional funds are anticipated. The current budget appropriation, as amended under Resolution R-89-24 and supported by the general fund, along with cost savings in other FY 2024/25 line items, is expected to sustain operations through the end of OMNI’s contract in October 2025. Any extension or new contract beyond that date will require a new appropriation to address staffing and other operational needs.

Fiscal Impacts:

Sufficient appropriations are available in the adopted FY 2025-2026 budget in General Fund, Community Services, Offsite Services, Account Number 100-6200-6234-2350-0000-000.

Staff Report

Meeting Date: October 7, 2025
To: City Council
From: Bill Smith, City Manager
Prepared By: Bill Smith, City Manager
Item Name: Legislative Policy 2026 - Approve Legislative Policy for the 2026 Legislative Year.

Recommended Action:

It is recommended that the City Council adopt the 2026 Colton Legislative Policy.

Background:

As a means to be active in legislative advocacy, a formal Legislative Policy has been developed to promote the specific interests of the City of Colton. As such, staff is advancing a comprehensive Policy to guide the legislative process for the 2026 legislative year.

The attached Legislative Policy document details the overall program, including legislative positions, process outline and staff duties. As stated in the Legislative Policy’s Purpose Statement, “the purpose of the City of Colton’s Legislative Year 2026 Policy is to provide a vehicle for the City Council and staff to pursue legislative objectives in the most efficient and effective way.” Practically speaking, many legislative issues are brought to the City by way of letters requesting support or opposition from lobbyist organizations, other cities sponsoring legislation or special interest groups. Due to the time sensitive nature of these requests, staff needs to be able to prepare the necessary letters without special action of the Council. Having a Plan that outlines the City’s position on routine issues that impact cities enables staff to prepare the necessary letters for the Mayor’s signature, or respond to inquiries with a firm City position, without individual Council action.

Matters that are not clearly defined in the City’s Legislative Policy can and will continue to be brought to the full City Council on a case-by-case basis. The general philosophy of the Policy is to protect local or home rule, oppose unfunded State and County mandates, oppose government interference in the private sector, and to protect and stabilize current City revenue sources.

The City of Colton Draft Legislative Year 2026 Policy has been reviewed by the City Council, as

Page 182 of 259 ends

well as the City’s executive staff team and the City Attorney.

Issues/Analysis:

The Legislative Policy document provides a myriad of legislative positions for Council consideration. As it would be voluminous to describe the reasoning behind each legislative position within this staff report, staff will be ready to discuss any legislative position, if needed, during agenda review for Council consideration of this item.

Fiscal Impacts:

There is no fiscal impact as a result of this action. The City’s Legislative Policy will be coordinated by the City Manager’s Office. As such, the major impact will be on staff time needed to manage this effort. Costs for any additional legislative advocacy, as well as necessary travel and/or expenses by Council Members/staff, will be discussed during the City’s budget processes or on a case-by-case basis.

Alternatives:

Provide alternative direction to staff, as needed.

Attachments:

Staff Report

Meeting Date: October 7, 2025
To: City Council
From: Bill Smith, City Manager
Prepared By: Chad Blais, PW & Utility Services Director Item Name: Parking Restriction Index - Approve and Adopt the Index of Parking Restriction Locations which Outlines the Various Parking Restrictions and Locations within the City of Colton, Resolution No. R-76-25.

Recommended Action:

Staff recommends th City Council take the following action:

1. Adopt Resolution R-76-25 and the attached Index of Parking Restriction Locations, which outlines the various parking restrictions and locations within the City of Colton

Background:

The State of California Vehicle Code allows parking restrictions if adopted by a City Ordinance or Resolution. Section 23 of the City of Colton Resolution No. 2119 lists areas within the City of Colton with parking restrictions. Any new no-parking or time-limited parking restrictions must be adopted by Resolution per Colton’s Municipal Code Section 9.3 – No Parking Area per in order to be legally enforceable.

Issues/Analysis:

In early 2025, the Public Works Department conducted significant work to install time-limited no-parking signage all over town related to the street sweeping contract. In total there are about 1,600 time-limited no parking signs for street sweeping. While the street sweeping parking restrictions have been in place since early 2025, enforcement had to be placed on hold because the parking restrictions were never formally adopted by resolution as required by Colton's municipal code. Therefore, Public Works has been diligently updating its parking restriction records to develop an "Index of Parking Restriction Locations" within the City. Approval of Resolution No. R-76-25 will formally document all the previously approved "no-parking" and

Page 184 of 259 ends

"time-limited" parking restrictions and adds all the street sweeping related parking restrictions into a formal index that is available to the public. Once the resolution is approved the Police Department may resume street sweeping parking enforcement.

Fiscal Impacts:

There is no financial impact by adopting Resolution No. R-76-25.

Alternatives:

Provide alternative direction to staff.

WHEREAS, the City Clerk and Public Works Department will maintain a copy of the Index of Parking Restriction Locations and shall make the Index of Parking Restriction Locations available to the public upon request; and,

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COLTON DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1: The City Council of the City of Colton hereby approves Resolution No. 76-25 and the attached Index of Parking Restriction Locations, which outlines the various parking restrictions and locations within the City of Colton.
