INSURANCES FUND

The City encounters various property, liability, and personnel risks of loss. To manage these risks effectively, the City is self-insured and maintains reserves to cover potential expenses. As part of its Risk Management program, the City also purchases insurance for high-severity claims that exceed self-insured retention (SIR). Since July 1, 2022, the City has been part of a government insurance pool called the Public Entity Risk Management Authority (PERMA). This pool includes 32 other government agencies, such as 21 full-service and contract cities. Being part of PERMA enables the City to share costs and risks with other members, while keeping its self-insured retention at $500,000 per claim for workers’ compensation, general liability, and law enforcement claims.

All funds contribute and make payments to this internal service fund based on actual costs, covering claims from previous years and estimated costs for current claims activity. The cost of excess insurance premiums is also paid from these funds.

This function is funded through charges to all user departments.

The Department has partnered with multiple social service organizations to support the Department’s MET team in assisting individuals experiencing homelessness. Through these collaborations, community partners provide valuable resources, outreach, and support services to help connect those in need with housing, mental health assistance, and other essential programs. These partnerships enhance the MET team’s efforts to offer compassionate, coordinated, and effective solutions for the unhoused community.

The Department was awarded grant funding through the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors for the purchase of three police motorcycles. These additional motorcycles will enhance the Department’s traffic enforcement capabilities, improve mobility and response times in congested areas, and support specialized enforcement and community engagement efforts while contributing to overall public safety within the community.

The Department continued to partner with the community as officers attended several events such as Coffeewith-A-Cop, townhall meetings, and PAWS in the park.

The event had a dunk tank, live band, free food, vendor booths, children’s games, and raffle prizes.

The Department successfully expanded the Traffic Division by staffing a sergeant, a motor officer and an additional police officer dedicated to traffic enforcement and safety operations. The primary responsibilities of these positions include investigating and completing traffic collision reports, addressing ongoing traffic-related concerns within the community, and proactively identifying problem areas that impact roadway safety. This increased staffing has enhanced the Department’s ability to respond more efficiently to collisions, conduct targeted enforcement, and implement traffic safety initiatives, ultimately improving service delivery and contributing to safer roadways for residents and visitors. 104

The following is a description of the grants accounted for in this fund specific to the Colton Police Department:

OTS GRANT
The California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) grant is for a year-long program of special enforcements and public awareness efforts to prevent traffic related deaths and injuries.

Funding for this program is from the California Office of Traffic Safety through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

JAG GRANT
The Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) is a partnership among federal, state, and local governments to create safer communities.

FIRE DEPARTMENT

CITY OF COLTON
FISCAL YEAR 2026-27 ADOPTED BUDGET

DESCRIPTION
The Fire Department was officially established by the City Council on October 18, 1891, with the adoption of Ordinance 90. The Department has developed into a full-service fire department, providing a full range of emergency and fire safety services, as well as City disaster planning, through four divisions: Operations, Fire Safety, Weed Abatement and Disaster Preparedness.

Emergency services are provided from four strategically located fire stations staffed by 15 firefighters (including paramedics) daily at each station. Department Headquarters/Administration and the Fire Safety Division are housed at Fire Station 211 which is located at 303 East “E” Street (on the corner of Tenth and "E") The Fire Department is comprised of three divisions:

OPERATIONS
The Operations Division is overseen by the Deputy Fire Chief and managed by Shift Battalion Chiefs that are responsible for managing emergency response activities including fire suppression, emergency medical service, rescue, and hazardous materials response. Training, facility maintenance and equipment maintenance are also included in the Operations Division.

Firefighters divided among three shifts are assigned to the Operations Division. A Battalion Chief is in command of each shift and is responsible for coordinating emergency response, facilitating each day's activities, and administrative duties.

Fire Department dispatch services are provided through membership in the CONFIRE Joint Powers Authority which includes Apple Valley, Big Bear, Chino, Colton, Rialto, Loma Linda, Montclair, Redlands, Rancho Cucamonga, Running Springs, Victorville, and County Fire Departments. CONFIRE provides communications, public safety dispatch, full-service computer information systems support, and geographic information systems to the member agencies of the Joint Power Authority. This regional dispatch center is the largest fire department dispatch center in the County. It provides coordinated dispatch and automatic aid to all the member fire departments and serves as the Operational Area dispatch center.

COMMUNITY RISK REDUCTION
Community Risk Reduction (formerly Fire Prevention) is responsible for the administration and enforcement of all local, county, state, and federal regulations regarding hazards of fire, explosions, and the release of hazardous materials into the atmosphere arising from storage, handling and use of hazardous materials and devices, and from the conditions hazardous to life, environment, or property in the use of an occupancy, building, or premise.

FIRE DEPARTMENT

CITY OF COLTON
FISCAL YEAR 2026-27 ADOPTED BUDGET

COMMUNITY RISK REDUCTION
Community Risk Reduction provides enforcement through periodic inspections of all City occupancies.

Community Risk Reduction is also responsible for the fire and life safety plan review and inspections of all construction sites within the City, and the safety plan review for all fire and life safety protection systems.

WEED ABATEMENT
The Fire Department, through the Community Risk Reduction Division, conducts a comprehensive yearround weed abatement program for all unimproved vacant parcels within the city. Through the Public Hearing process, property owners are given notice twice a year for the abatement of weeds, trash, and debris on their vacant parcels. Those properties not abated by a specified date are then referred to the City's appointed contractor for abatement. The property owner is invoiced for this work, along with the City's administrative fee. All invoices not paid by the due date are forwarded to the County Assessor's Office for inclusion on the County Tax Rolls. Approximately 100 parcels are abated annually.

DISASTER PREPAREDNESS
The Fire Department is responsible for coordinating the City’s Disaster Preparedness Program. This Program includes the development and periodic updating of the Emergency Operations and Hazard Mitigation Plans, training the City’s Disaster Management Team, public outreach, and grants management. The responsibilities of Disaster Preparedness are handled by the Deputy Fire Chief and the Battalion Chief/Fire Marshal.

The Fire Department previously maintained an active Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program designed to train and engage citizen volunteers to assist during disaster situations. However, following the loss of the Emergency Services Coordinator and the need to rebuild the City’s disaster preparedness program, CERT remained inactive for several years. In 2025, the department successfully reintroduced the program by offering its first community CERT class, providing residents with valuable emergency preparedness and response training.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS
 The Fire Department conducted four 10-day new hire academies, successfully onboarding and training three newly hired Firefighter/Paramedics, one Engineer, and two Battalion Chiefs.  The department completed an open Battalion Chief promotional examination process, resulting in five successful candidates and two external promotional appointments.  The department completed an open Engineer promotional examination process, resulting in four successful candidates and one external promotional appointment.  Leadership transitions and promotional appointments were completed for the Deputy Fire Chief and Fire Chief positions.

FIRE DEPARTMENT

CITY OF COLTON
FISCAL YEAR 2026-27 ADOPTED BUDGET
 The department successfully completed the renewal of the City’s Local Hazard Mitigation Plan in partnership with Atlas Planning Solutions, strengthening the City’s preparedness and eligibility for future hazard mitigation funding.
 In 2025, the department responded to 7,946 total incidents, a decrease of 490 incidents from 2024.  The City successfully adopted the 2025 California Fire Code, ensuring continued alignment with current fire and life safety standards.
 The department completed a comprehensive user fee study to update Fire Department fees for service and better align cost recovery with current operational demands.  Using grant funds, the department secured services to complete a community risk assessment identifying areas of increased risk related to fire, homelessness, substance abuse, and medical emergencies. This assessment will support data-driven response planning, prevention strategies, and community risk reduction efforts.
 Successfully reintroduced the CERT program by offering its first community CERT class, providing residents with valuable emergency preparedness and response training.

OBJECTIVES

 Provide timely, effective, and professional emergency response to reduce the loss of life, limit property damage, and protect the community during fires, medical emergencies, rescues, hazardous conditions, and other disasters.
 Continue strengthening succession planning efforts by developing personnel at all levels of the organization and preparing employees for future promotional and leadership opportunities.  Enhance employee recruitment and retention strategies to attract qualified candidates, support workforce stability, and maintain a highly trained and capable fire service workforce.  Deliver proactive fire prevention, public education, code enforcement, and community risk reduction programs to improve safety and reduce hazards for the residents, businesses, and visitors of Colton.  Evaluate and implement strategies to improve the retention of Firefighter/Paramedics, including professional development, organizational support, and other measures that promote long-term workforce sustainability.
 Pursue local, state, and federal grant opportunities to enhance emergency response capabilities, improve firefighter safety, support prevention programs, and reduce the financial impact on the City’s General Fund.

COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT

CITY OF COLTON
FISCAL YEAR 2026-2027 ADOPTED BUDGET

DESCRIPTION
The Community Services Department offers high quality programs and services to the residents of the City. It maintains its mission to "connect our community, through people, facilities and programs."
The Community Services Department encompasses four divisions: Library Services, Recreation Services, Early Childhood Education, and Hermosa Gardens Cemetery. Our operations span ten facilities, including four community centers, two libraries, a cemetery, childcare programs for school-age children at two locations, and State preschool programs at three sites. In addition to these core services, the Department is committed to supporting our community through Homeless Services initiatives. These include bi-monthly free food distributions, eviction prevention efforts, and the provision of community food, clothing, and hygiene pantries. To foster community engagement and wellbeing, the Department organizes seasonal events designed to promote a sense of unity and provide healthy leisure activities for families. The success of our mission relies on the active participation and support of the community in our programs, events, and facilities.

ADMINISTRATION
The Community Services Administration, based at the Gonzales Community Center, oversees essential services like Early Care and Education, Library Services, Recreation Services, Hermosa Gardens Cemetery operations, and various Park Development Projects. Our goal is to provide top-notch customer service, prioritizing resident satisfaction. We tailor our programs, services, and facilities to meet community needs, continually evaluating effectiveness. We involve customers in program development and maintain high facility standards, adhering to industry best practices to ensure excellence in service delivery.

The Community Services Department plays a crucial role within the City of Colton's service network. It offers support to all municipal departments and actively engages with the community, forming partnerships to advance the shared objective of fostering community connections.

EARLY CARE AND EDUCATION
Early Care and Education provides care and education services through School Age Program and a State Preschool Program, at four locations: Cooley Ranch, Reche Canyon, Paul J. Rogers, and Wilson.

The School Age Program (SAP) is primarily funded by a California Department of Social Services contract and augmented with parent fees from both Private Pay and Family Fees from subsidized families that provides; before and after school care, full-day care (Winter, Spring, and Summer breaks), activities, snacks, on-site homework help and tutoring. It operates 246 days a year, Monday – Friday at Reche Canyon, and Paul J. Rogers school sites.

The State Preschool Program (SPP) is a contract program entirely funded by the California Department of Education. It is FREE, if income qualified. This program is designed and implemented to enhance a child’s natural abilities and prepare them to succeed in Kindergarten, both inside the classroom and on the playground. It operates 180 days a year, five days a week at Wilson, Rogers, and Cooley Ranch. All three locations are part of the States’ Quality Rating Improvement System, which stems from a National effort to improve the quality of Preschools using industry-recognized measures. Locally, in San Bernardino, the system is called Quality Start San Bernardino (QSSB).

All three sites were rated a four (5) out of a possible five (5). 123

LIBRARY SERVICES
Library Services operates two locations, the Main Library and the Luque Branch Library, which includes the Homework Assistance Center. Together, these facilities provide residents of all ages with access to books, technology, and programs that support learning, literacy, and daily needs.

The Colton Public Library System serves nearly 70,000 registered borrowers and maintains a collection of more than 100,000 items. Services continue to evolve to meet community expectations, combining traditional library offerings with expanded digital resources, public technology access, and flexible programming options.

Library Services also prioritizes literacy and student support. The Luque Branch Library provides afterschool homework assistance for students in grades K–8, while the adult literacy program offers confidential one-on-one tutoring. Family-focused educational programs and resources further support lifelong learning across the community.

RECREATION SERVICES
Recreation Services is dedicated to connecting the Colton community through engaging facilities and diverse programs that promote social, cultural, educational, and physical well-being. Guided by our Recreation Division Program Plan, we continuously adapt to meet the evolving needs of residents and visitors while staying aligned with industry trends.

We operate four community centers: Frank A. Gonzales, Lawrence A. Hutton, Peter S. Luque, and the Art Thompson Teen Center - each providing free or low-cost programs, events, and support services for all ages. The Gonzales Community Center serves as our central hub, featuring a seasonal aquatics center, basketball gym, and meeting facilities. The Thompson Teen Center supports youth aged 13-17 with enrichment activities, academic support, and volunteer opportunities. The Hutton Community Center offers senior programs, including the 50+ Club with dedicated health and fitness programs. At Luque Community Center, we provide grant-funded Homeless Prevention & Resource programs, offering emergency assistance for housing, food, clothing, and hygiene supplies. The Division also provide support to the Hermosa Gardens Cemetery operations through weekly grounds clean up and front desk customer service. In City Parks, we manage all park usage from local youth sports leagues to large community events or resident rentals.

Our dedicated staff remains our greatest asset, with seven full-time Recreation Division staff and up to 100 part-time employees during peak seasons. Recreation Coordinators collaborate closely with Recreation Specialists and team members to ensure programs are purposeful, effective, and accessible. Regular communication with leadership and monthly team meetings enables flexibility and responsiveness to emerging challenges.

Community engagement continues to grow, with increased participation in programs, facility reservations, and special events. As we move into FY 2026-2027, we are committed to:
• Enhancing financial sustainability through sponsorships and in-kind donations. • Expanding digital operations to improve access and efficiency. • Strengthening community partnerships to maximize impact.

By setting measurable goals, prioritizing resources effectively, and fostering an inclusive, community-centered approach, Recreation Services will continue to enrich the lives of Colton residents and enhance access to quality programs and facilities.

CEMETERY OPERATIONS
The City of Colton has owned Hermosa Gardens Cemetery since 1906, managing operations directly until 1999.

Subsequently, a 55-year agreement was made with Inland Memorial in 2000. The lease oversight was transferred to the Community Services Director in 2010. In March 2023, Inland Memorial changed ownership, leading to a new operating agreement with Cemetery Care Providers (CCP). Originally slated for December 2023, the City assumed full operation and management of the Cemetery on October 1, 2023, with a General Fund appropriation for maintenance, operations, and capital improvements.

Contracted through December 31, 2026, OBI dba Omni Cemetery Management (Omni) assists City Staff in operational support. Their role includes daily cemetery operations such as sales, site preparation, maintenance, burial services, chapel rentals, grounds upkeep, and resident services. Collaborative efforts between City Staff and Omni aim to assess operations, digitize records, enhance infrastructure, and evaluate potential liabilities. This proactive approach enhances operational efficiency, mitigates risks, and strengthens the City's position to attract reputable vendors for leasing or selling the property.

PARK DEVELOPMENT
The Community Services Department continues to advance park development efforts that address immediate community needs while supporting long-term system improvements.

At Elizabeth Davis Park, Phase I is complete with a full playground replacement, restoring a key amenity ahead of summer. Work was phased to maintain youth sports access, with Phase II scheduled to resume in August and include broader improvements such as parking, restrooms, and additional amenities.

At Rich Dauer Park, a new inclusive playground was completed, expanding access for children of all abilities and reinforcing the City’s focus on upgrading core park infrastructure.

The City also continues to move forward on the 45-acre Habitat Conservation Park and Sports Fields project, the first new park development in more than 25 years. Efforts over the past year have focused on technical studies, utility coordination, and navigating complex regulatory requirements.

Across all projects, staff has prioritized strategic use of grant and local funding, while maintaining compliance with procurement and environmental requirements. Overall, this work reflects steady progress in improving park amenities and advancing major capital projects.

CITY OF COLTON
FISCAL YEAR 2026-27 BUDGET

DESCRIPTION
The Development Services Department strives to preserve and improve our neighborhoods and our business environment by
 Developing and administering plans and policies that facilitate a more livable city.  Providing efficient and responsive planning, building and business license services to our residents, the development and business community.
 Maintaining safety and protections through compliance with city, state and federal regulations and codes.

The Development Services Department is comprised of the following divisions:

BUILDING & SAFETY
The Building & Safety Division serves and protects the public by ensuring safe and sound building construction in compliance with building, electrical, plumbing, mechanical, energy efficiency standards, Cal-green and security codes, state health & safety laws, disability access, and related City ordinances. The Building & Safety Division develops and administers the policies for development plan checks and inspections and ensures that the Department operates in accordance with all adopted codes and amendments. Building & Safey also works collaboratively with Public Works, Colton Electric and Code Enforcement on construction activities and permitting needs.

BUSINESS LICENSE
The Business License Division is dedicated to assisting the business owners and community members who have chosen to do business in the City of Colton. The Division is tasked with assisting the public in obtaining a business license for a range of different business types, which include commercial locations, commercial rental properties, residential rental properties, sidewalk vendors and 1-day special events. The Division is in charge of administrating annual renewals for businesses located inside the City and for businesses located outside the City who are coming into Colton to conduct business. We also enforce the City’s business license ordinance, verify gross receipts, and provide mandated business tax information to the State.

PLANNING

The Planning Division is one component of Development Services and works closely with the City’s other departments to coordinate development activities and policies.

The Division’s daily operations support both internal and external customers by providing zoning and General Plan information applicable to their questions. Customers request information by mail, email, telephone, and in person at the public counter. Study sessions and community engagement meetings have increased in response to specific requests by the Planning Commission to review more complex and larger projects prior to formal public hearings. 133

DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT

CITY OF COLTON
FISCAL YEAR 2026-27 BUDGET
Planning coordinates and leads the development and implementation of comprehensive planning programs to guide and manage future growth. This includes preparing and maintaining Comprehensive General Plan Elements and Specific Plans for key areas of the City. The Division is responsible for maintaining, monitoring, and implementing Colton’s General Plan policies and for preparing a variety of long-range planning documents—such as design guidelines, General Plan updates, and Specific Plans—to guide development and ensure compliance with state law.

The Division also has the ongoing responsibility of updating the Zoning Code and Subdivision Code to maintain consistency with state requirements and current planning standards.

The Planning Division reviews, analyzes, and provides final approvals or recommendations on development proposals to ensure high-quality development that advances Colton’s interests and long-term goals as set forth in the General Plan, Zoning Code, and Specific Plans.

The Planning Division serves as staff to the Planning Commission, Historic Preservation Commission, and Application Review Committee (ARC). It also provides support services to various City departments, including Code Compliance, Customer Service, Public Works, and Economic Development, as well as to ad hoc committees established by the City Council. In addition, Planning manages historic preservation activities to protect neighborhoods, buildings, and sites that reflect Colton’s cultural, social, economic, political, and architectural history.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
The Economic Development Division establishes relationships, builds networks, and identifies resources to meet the needs of property owners, residents, developers and businesses. The Division is a key facilitator in creating public-private partnerships to attract new businesses, facilitate enterprise development, and assist existing businesses with expansion.

ELECTRIC UTILITY DEPARTMENT

CITY OF COLTON
FISCAL YEAR 2026-27 ADOPTED BUDGET

DESCRIPTION
Colton Electric Utility is the second oldest municipal electric utility in the State of California. Established in 1895 through the passage of an ordinance, the utility was created with the intent to acquire, construct, own, operate, and maintain a public electric light system to provide power and lighting for the city’s residents. The measure was approved by voters with a margin of 114 to 12, leading to the construction of the first power plant at a cost of $6,000.

For over 130 years, Colton Electric Utility has remained committed to delivering reliable and affordable electric services to the community.

The City-owned utility operates as an Enterprise Fund which is used to account for the acquisition, operation, and maintenance of government-owned facilities that are primarily or entirely self-sustaining through user charges.

Enterprise funds are structured to operate similarly to private businesses, with financial reporting that reflects revenue, expenses, and overall financial performance, including profit or loss.

Colton Electric Utility currently serves a peak load of approximately 98 MW, with a diverse resource portfolio that includes shares in Southern California Public Power Authority (SCPPA) resources at Palo Verde, Hoover Dam, and Magnolia Power Plant. In 2003, the Agua Mansa Power Plant was constructed, providing an additional peaking capacity of 43 megawatts for the City. Additionally, Colton Electric has secured multiple Power Purchase Agreements for renewable energy resources, including solar, wind, and landfill gas, reinforcing its commitment to sustainable energy solutions.

The Renewable Energy Resources Act of 2011 required that all electric utilities in California acquire at least 33% of their total energy sales from renewable sources by 2020. In 2016, new legislation increased the renewable requirement to 50% by 2030. In 2018, the California Legislature passed SB100, further increasing the renewable requirement to 60% by 2030. Additionally, SB100 mandates that all electric utilities in California transition to 100% zero-carbon electricity by 2045.

Colton Electric Utility has consistently met or exceeded California’s Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS) requirements. For Compliance Period 3 (2017-2020), Colton Electric had a procurement target of 29.98% of its retail sales from renewable resources and successfully met this target. The utility remains on track to achieve the 60% renewable energy target by 2030. Additionally, Colton Electric significantly reduced its reliance on carbon-based energy sources following the expiration of its contract with San Juan Generating Station at the end of 2017.

The Utility has contracted for new, renewable energy sources to replace generation from San Juan. In March 2019, Colton Electric executed a purchased power agreement for 16 MW of baseload renewable energy from Ormat’s Mammoth Casa Diablo IV Geothermal Project, which has since commenced commercial operation. Additionally, the Utility continues to monitor developments in utility regulations and requirements at the state and federal level.

The Colton Electric Utility team of dedicated employees remain committed to providing the community with superior customer service and reliable electric service while planning for Colton’s future power needs.

The Electric Utility Department has the following Divisions:

The Environmental Sustainability and Conservation division is responsible for the development and management of energy efficiency and sustainability programs within the City of Colton. The State of California Public Utility Code requires each publicly owned utility to allocate 2.85% of their annual retail revenue to Public Benefit Programs. Funds collected through this charge are allocated toward four key initiatives:

1. Services provided for low-income electricity customers, including energy efficiency programs and rate discounts.

2. Cost effective demand-side management programs that promote energy efficiency and energy conservation.

3. New investments in renewable energy resources and technologies.

4. Research and Development (R&D) programs for the public interest, to advance technologies that are not adequately supported by competitive and regulated markets. 148
