Staff Report
Meeting Date: June 2, 2026
To: City Council
From: Bill Smith, City Manager
Prepared By: Chad Blais, PW & Utility Services Director Item Name: Contract Amendment - Big Mike's Rooter & Plumbing, Inc. - Approve Maintenance Services Agreement Amendment No. 1, with Big Mike’s Rooter & Plumbing, Inc. in the Amount of $15,000.
Recommended Action:
Approve Maintenance Services Agreement Amendment No. 1 with Big Mike’s Rooter & Plumbing, Inc. in the amount of $15,000 for additional Plumbing services and authorize the City Manager or designee to execute the contract documents, including any non-substantive amendments as approved by the City Attorney.
Background:
The Building Maintenance Division entered into a Maintenance Services Agreement in November 2024 with Big Mike’s Rooter & Plumbing, Inc. to provide citywide plumbing services; this agreement was extended through September 30, 2026. The Maintenance Services Agreement was executed by the City Manager for the amount not-to-exceed $50,000 in accordance with Colton Municipal Code 3.08.060(b).
Issues/Analysis:
Due to extensive repair and upgrading needs at multiple locations, staff recommends amending the existing agreement to increase funding for citywide plumbing services. Securing these additional funds will ensure quick response times and prevent service disruptions for staff and residents utilizing City facilities.
The initial agreement was authorized for $50,000. Staff is requesting an additional $15,000, for a total not-to-exceed amount of $65,000.
Therefore, staff is requesting that the City Council approve Amendment No. 1 to the Maintenance Services Agreement with Big Mike’s Rooter & Plumbing, Inc., to provide
additional funding.
Fiscal Impacts:
Sufficient appropriations are available in the adopted FY2025-26 budget in Building Maintenance Fund Professional Services Account No. 605-6150-6211-2350-0000-000 to cover the additional funding requested.
Alternatives:
1. Provide alternative direction to staff.

Staff Report
Meeting Date: June 2, 2026
To: City Council
From: Bill Smith, City Manager
Prepared By: Chad Blais, PW & Utility Services Director Item Name: Contract Amendment - JC Energy Solutions, Inc. - Approve Amendment No. 1 for the Maintenance Services Agreement with JC Energy Solutions, Inc. in the Amount of $25,000.
Recommended Action:
Approve the Maintenance Services Agreement Amendment No. 1 with JC Energy Solutions, Inc. in the amount of $25,000 for additional Heating, Ventilation, & Air Conditioning (HVAC) services and authorize the City Manager or designee to execute the contract documents.
Background:
The Building Maintenance Division entered into a Maintenance Services Agreement in July 2024 with JC Energy Solutions, Inc., to provide Citywide HVAC maintenance and repair services; this agreement was extended through June 30, 2026. The MSA was executed by the City Manager for the amount not-to-exceed $40,000 in accordance with Colton Municipal Code
3.08.060(b). The facilities covered by the agreement include City Hall, Community Centers (which are designated cooling centers for residents), childcare facilities, Police Department, the Corporate Yard, Electric Department, fire stations, and all other city offices.
Issues/Analysis:
Due to extensive repair needs at several facilities, staff requests an amendment to increase funding for the existing HVAC services agreement. With approaching summer temperatures, maintaining climate control is critical to ensuring the comfort of staff and residents. This additional funding will prevent service delays and guarantee immediate repairs. Furthermore, because the City provides cooling centers during extreme heat events and power outages, maintaining an operational HVAC system at these facilities is a high priority.
The initial agreement was authorized for $40,000. Staff is requesting that the City Council approve Amendment No. 1 to the Maintenance Services Agreement with JC Energy Solutions to
authorize an additional $25,000, for a total not-to-exceed amount of $65,000.
Fiscal Impacts:
Sufficient appropriations are available in the adopted FY2025-26 budget in Building Maintenance Fund Professional Services Account No. 605-6150-6211-2350-0000-000 to cover the additional funding requested.
Alternatives:
1. Provide alternative direction to staff.

3.2.1.1 Change Orders. Changes to the Contract Time (as defined in Section 3.3) or Total Contract Price shall be in the form of a written Change Order, either signed by both parties or issued unilaterally by the City. No adjustment shall be made to the Contract Time unless the delay impacts the critical path to completion and the delay was not caused in whole or in part by the Contractor.

All requests for Change Orders shall be accompanied by detailed supporting documentation, including but not limited to payroll records, invoices, schedules, and any other documentation requested by the City for the purpose of determining the additional costs or the impact of any delay. If the change involves Work bid at a unit price, then the Total Contract Price shall be increased at the unit price.

23152.04000\42402756.1
3 any costs are not capable of being determined within seven (7) days, then Contractor shall request a Change Order within seven (7) days of when the costs are capable of being determined.
3.2.2 Substitutions/”Or Equal”. Pursuant to Public Contract Code Section 3400(b), the City may make a finding that designates certain products, things, or services by specific brand or trade name.

Contractor may, unless otherwise stated, offer for substitution any material, process or article which shall be substantially equal or better in every respect to that so indicated or specified in this Contract. However, the City may have adopted certain uniform standards for certain materials, processes and articles. Contractor shall submit requests, together with substantiating data, for substitution of any “or equal” material, process or article no later than thirty-five (35) days after award of the Contract. To facilitate the construction schedule and sequencing, some requests may need to be submitted before thirty-five (35) days after award of Contract. Provisions regarding submission of “or equal” requests shall not in any way authorize an extension of time for performance of this Contract. If a proposed “or equal” substitution request is rejected, Contractor shall be responsible for providing the specified material, process or article. The burden of proof as to the equality of any material, process or article shall rest with Contractor.
The City has the complete and sole discretion to determine if a material, process or article is an “or equal” material, process or article that may be substituted. Data required to substantiate requests for substitutions of an “or equal” material, process or article data shall include a signed affidavit from Contractor stating that, and describing how, the substituted “or equal” material, process or article is equivalent to that specified in every way except as listed on the affidavit.
Substantiating data shall include any and all illustrations, specifications, and other relevant data including catalog information which describes the requested substituted “or equal” material, process or article, and substantiates that it is an “or equal” to the material, process or article. The substantiating data must also include information regarding the durability and lifecycle cost of the requested substituted “or equal” material, process or article. Failure to submit all the required substantiating data, including the signed affidavit, to the City in a timely fashion will result in the rejection of the proposed substitution.
Contractor shall bear all of the City’s costs associated with the review of substitution requests. Contractor shall be responsible for all costs related to a substituted “or equal” material, process or article. Contractor is directed to the Special Conditions (if any) to review any findings made pursuant to Public Contract Code section 3400.
3.3 Period of Performance and Liquidated Damages.

As provided for in the indemnification provisions of this Contract, Contractor shall perform, at its own cost and expense and without reimbursement from the City, any work necessary to correct errors or omissions which are caused by Contractor’s failure to comply with the standard of care provided for herein. Any employee who is determined by the City to be uncooperative, incompetent, a threat to the safety of persons or the Work, or any employee who fails or refuses to perform the Work in a manner acceptable to the City, shall be promptly removed from the Project by Contractor and shall not be re-employed on the Work.
3.5 Control and Payment of Subordinates; Contractual Relationship. City retains Contractor on an independent contractor basis and Contractor is not an employee of City.

23152.04000\42402756.1
5 application for payment in the format supplied by the City indicating the amount of Work completed since commencement of the Work or since the last progress payment.

All Contract retention shall be released and paid to Contractor and subcontractors pursuant to California Public Contract Code Section 7107.
3.7.5 Other Retentions. In addition to Contract retentions, the City may deduct from each progress payment an amount necessary to protect City from loss because of:
(1) liquidated damages which have accrued as of the date of the application for payment; (2) any sums expended by the City in performing any of Contractor’s obligations under the Contract which Contractor has failed to perform or has performed inadequately; (3) defective Work not remedied; (4) stop notices as allowed by state law; (5) reasonable doubt that the Work can be completed for the unpaid balance of the Total Contract Price or within the scheduled completion date; (6) unsatisfactory prosecution of the Work by Contractor; (7) unauthorized deviations from the Contract; (8) failure of Contractor to maintain or submit on a timely basis proper and sufficient documentation as required by the Contract or by City during the prosecution of the Work; (9) erroneous or false estimates by Contractor of the value of the Work performed; (10) any sums representing expenses, losses, or damages as determined by the City, incurred by the City for which Contractor is liable under the Contract; and (11) any other sums which the City is entitled to recover from Contractor under the terms of the Contract or pursuant to state law, including Section 1727 of the California Labor Code. The failure by the City to deduct any of these sums from a progress payment shall not constitute a waiver of the City’s right to such sums.
3.7.6 Substitutions for Contract Retentions. In accordance with California Public Contract Code Section 22300, the City will permit the substitution of securities for any monies withheld by the City to ensure performance under the Contract. At the request and expense of Contractor, securities equivalent to the amount withheld shall be deposited with the City, or with a state or federally chartered bank in California as the escrow agent, and thereafter the City shall then pay such monies to Contractor as they come due. Upon satisfactory completion of the Contract, the securities shall be returned to Contractor. For purposes of this Section and Section 22300 of the Public Contract Code, the term “satisfactory completion of the contract” shall mean the time the City has issued written final acceptance of the Work and filed a Notice of Completion as required by law and provisions of this Contract. Contractor shall be the beneficial owner of any securities substituted for monies withheld and shall receive any interest thereon.
The escrow agreement used for the purposes of this Section shall be in the form provided by the City.
23152.04000\42402756.1
6 3.7.7 Payment to Subcontractors. Contractor shall pay all subcontractors for and on account of work performed by such subcontractors in accordance with the terms of their respective subcontracts and as provided for in Section 7108.5 of the California Business and Professions Code. Such payments to subcontractors shall be based on the measurements and estimates made and progress payments provided to Contractor pursuant to this Contract.
3.7.8 Title to Work. As security for partial, progress, or other payments, title to Work for which such payments are made shall pass to the City at the time of payment. To the extent that title has not previously been vested in the City by reason of payments, full title shall pass to the City at delivery of the Work at the destination and time specified in this Contract. Such transferred title shall in each case be good, free and clear from any and all security interests, liens, or other encumbrances. Contractor promises and agrees that it will not pledge, hypothecate, or otherwise encumber the items in any manner that would result in any lien, security interest, charge, or claim upon or against said items. Such transfer of title shall not imply acceptance by the City, nor relieve Contractor from the responsibility to strictly comply with the Contract, and shall not relieve Contractor of responsibility for any loss of or damage to items.
3.7.9 Labor and Material Releases. Contractor shall furnish City with labor and material releases from all subcontractors performing work on, or furnishing materials for, the Work governed by this Contract prior to final payment by City.

Since the Work is being performed as part of an applicable “public works” or “maintenance” project, as defined by the Prevailing Wage Laws, and since the total compensation is $1,000 or more, Contractor agrees to fully comply with such Prevailing Wage Laws. City shall provide Contractor with a copy of the prevailing rates of per diem wages in effect at the commencement of this Contract. Contractor shall make copies of the prevailing rates of per diem wages for each craft, classification or type of worker needed to execute the Work available to interested parties upon request, and shall post copies at Contractor’s principal place of business and at the project site.

3.8.2 Apprenticeable Crafts. When Contractor employs workmen in an apprenticeable craft or trade, Contractor shall comply with the provisions of Section 1777.5 of the California Labor Code with respect to the employment of properly registered apprentices upon public works. The primary responsibility for compliance with said section for all apprenticeable occupations shall be with Contractor. The Contractor or any subcontractor that is determined by the Labor Commissioner to have knowingly violated Section 1777.5 shall forfeit as a civil penalty an amount not exceeding $100 for each full calendar day of noncompliance, or such greater amount as provided by law.
3.8.3 Hours of Work. Contractor is advised that eight (8) hours labor constitutes a legal day’s work. Pursuant to Section 1813 of the California Labor Code, Contractor
23152.04000\42402756.1

Contractor and each subcontractor shall keep an accurate payroll record, showing the name, address, social security number, work classification, straight time and overtime hours worked each day and week, and the actual per diem wages paid to each journeyman, apprentice, worker, or other employee employed by him or her in connection with the public work. The payroll records shall be certified and shall be available for inspection at all reasonable hours at the principal office of Contractor in the manner provided in Labor Code section 1776. In the event of noncompliance with the requirements of this section, Contractor shall have 10 days in which to comply subsequent to receipt of written notice specifying in what respects such Contractor must comply with this section.

3.8.6 Labor Compliance; Stop Orders. This Project is subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement by the Department of Industrial Relations. It shall be the Contractor’s sole responsibility to evaluate and pay the cost of complying with all labor compliance requirements under this Contract and applicable law. Any stop orders issued by the Department of Industrial Relations against Contractor or any subcontractor that affect Contractor’s performance of Work, including any delay, shall be Contractor’s sole responsibility.

The claim shall be submitted in writing to the City and shall include on its first page the following in 16 point capital font: “THIS IS A CLAIM.” Claims governed by this procedure must be filed on or before the date of final payment.

3.11.2.5 Meet and Confer. If the Contractor disputes the City’s written response, or the City fails to respond within the time prescribed, the Contractor may so notify the City, in writing, either within 15 days of receipt of the City’s response or within 15 days of the City’s failure to respond within the time prescribed, respectively, and demand an informal conference to meet and confer for settlement of the issues in dispute.

Such Government Code claims and any subsequent lawsuit based upon the Government Code claims shall be limited to those matters that remain unresolved after all procedures pertaining to extra work, disputed work, construction claims, and/or changed conditions have been followed by Contractor. If no such Government Code claim is submitted, or if the prerequisite contractual requirements are not satisfied, no action against the City may be filed. A Government Code claim must be filed no earlier than the date the work is completed or the date the Contractor last performs work on the Project, whichever occurs first.

THAT WHEREAS, the City of Colton (hereinafter referred to as “City”) has awarded to ____________________, (hereinafter referred to as the “Contractor”) _______________________ an agreement for ______________________________ (hereinafter referred to as the “Project”).
WHEREAS, the work to be performed by the Contractor is more particularly set forth in the Contract Documents for the Project dated ________________, (hereinafter referred to as “Contract Documents”), the terms and conditions of which are expressly incorporated herein by reference; and
WHEREAS, the Contractor is required by said Contract Documents to perform the terms thereof and to furnish a bond for the faithful performance of said Contract Documents.
NOW, THEREFORE, we, _______________, the undersigned Contractor and _____________________________________________ as Surety, a corporation organized and duly authorized to transact business under the laws of the State of California, are held and firmly bound unto the City in the sum of ___________________________ DOLLARS, ($____________), said sum being not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the total amount of the Contract, for which amount well and truly to be made, we bind ourselves, our heirs, executors and administrators, successors and assigns, jointly and severally, firmly by these presents.
THE CONDITION OF THIS OBLIGATION IS SUCH, that, if the Contractor, his or its heirs, executors, administrators, successors or assigns, shall in all things stand to and abide by, and well and truly keep and perform the covenants, conditions and agreements in the Contract Documents and any alteration thereof made as therein provided, on its part, to be kept and performed at the time and in the manner therein specified, and in all respects according to their intent and meaning; and shall faithfully fulfill all obligations including the one-year guarantee of all materials and workmanship; and shall indemnify and save harmless the City, its officers and agents, as stipulated in said Contract Documents, then this obligation shall become null and void; otherwise it shall be and remain in full force and effect.
As a condition precedent to the satisfactory completion of the Contract Documents, unless otherwise provided for in the Contract Documents, the above obligation shall hold good for a period of one (1) year after the acceptance of the work by City, during which time if Contractor shall fail to make full, complete, and satisfactory repair and replacements and totally protect the City from loss or damage resulting from or caused by defective materials or faulty workmanship, Surety shall undertake and faithfully fulfill all such obligations.

The term “balance of the contract price” as used in this paragraph shall mean the total amount payable to Contractor by the City under the Contract and any modification thereto, less any amount previously paid by the City to the Contractor and any other set offs pursuant to the Contract Documents.
(3) Permit the City to complete the Project in any manner consistent with local, California and federal law and make available as work progresses sufficient funds to pay the cost of completion of the Project, less the balance of the contract price, including other costs and damages for which Surety may be liable.

Staff Report
Meeting Date: June 2, 2026
To: City Council
From: Bill Smith, City Manager
Prepared By: Justin Weems, Fire Chief
Item Name: Contract - Local Responsibility Area Wildland Protection Reimbursement Agreement -
Approve and Adopt a Resolution to Authorize the Renewal of the Local Responsibility Area Wildland Protection Reimbursement Agreement with CAL FIRE in the amount of $53,143.64, Resolution No. R-45-26.
Recommended Action:
Approve the Local Responsibility Area Wildland Protection Reimbursement Agreement, adopt Resolution No. R-45-26, and authorize the City Manager or designee to execute the Agreement and make any non-substantive changes as approved by the City Attorney.
Background:
On July 1, 2012, the City of Colton entered into an agreement with Cal Fire to provide for the protection of 1,000 acres of wildland within the City of Colton in the Reche Canyon area.
Annual amendments are required to reflect any changes in Cal Fire’s cost for providing this service. Re-analysis of the protected area for fiscal year 2026-27 was determined to be 997 acres.
The Reche Canyon area of Colton is prone to wildfire. The magnitude of these wildfires in terms of suppression efforts and response far exceeds the capabilities of Colton on-duty fire crews.
Local city fire departments routinely rely on mutual aid to assist each other in large scale incidents. By definition, mutual aid is a like-for-like provision of resources without cost to the receiving agency.
The suppression of large-scale wildfires is enhanced by utilizing water and retardant dropping aircraft, hand crews, dozers, and various overhead management positions. Colton Fire Department does not have the capacity to provide firefighting aircraft, hand crews, dozers, and enough overhead management to respond to large wildland fires on a mutual aid basis; therefore, we must provide compensation for these services.
The State of California realizes that fires in Reche Canyon are a mutual threat to State Responsibility Areas (SRA) and formulates available agreements with local agencies on a per acre fee.
Issues/Analysis:
Should the City choose not to renew the Local Responsibility Area Wildland Protection Reimbursement Agreement, then the actual cost of retardant dropping aircraft, hand crews, dozers, and various overhead management positions utilized to suppress wildland fires in Reche Canyon will be the responsibility of the City. Hourly rates for retardant dropping aircraft can exceed $10,000 per hour.
Fiscal Impacts:
The cost for the Local Responsibility Area Wildland Protection Reimbursement Agreement for Fiscal Year 2026-2027 is $47.55 per acre or $53,143.64. The total cost includes an administrative fee of 12.10%. Sufficient appropriations for the contract were requested in the FY 2026-27 budget in General Fund Fire Department Operations Professional Services Account #100-6090-6091-2350-0000-000.
Alternatives:
Provide alternative direction to staff.

Repair of Fire Suppression Damage
1. Fire and emergency response inherently involves risks, including accidents, injuries, and operational complexity. In addition, fire control forces may take actions that are reasonably necessary to control a fire or other emergency, but which are damaging to property. Such actions will be considered reasonable and proper if good judgment is used by responsible personnel according to the conditions that exist at the time of the action. CAL FIRE is not obligated or authorized to make actual expenditures or efforts to repair or replace private property.
2. Advise those claimants who insist upon taking formal action to correspond with the Secretary, State Board of Control, P.O. Box 3035, 926 J Street, Suite 300, Sacramento, 5814.

Fire Information
1. Joint fire information dissemination as determined and approved by the Unified Incident Commanders.
2. PIOs will meet as needed to discuss procedures and locations of potential information centers. Both agencies will strive to keep personnel certified in the field of public information available for use during emergencies.
3. PIOs will determine which agency will provide the lead information officer. This will normally be the agency with the greatest commitment of resources or the greatest threat to life/property.

Item: 12.
Staff Report
Meeting Date: June 2, 2026
To: City Council
From: Bill Smith, City Manager
Prepared By: Deb Farrar, Director
Item Name: Grant Acceptance - Early Childhood Education (ECE) - Quality Counts California and Work Force Pathways Grant.
Recommended Action:
Approve Resolution and Staff Report.
Background:
The Budget Act of 2000-01 and Assembly Bill 212 (AB212) provided funding to California Department of Education-funded agencies, intended as stipends for ECE staff.
AB212 directed the CDE-funded agencies to give stipends based on CA Teaching Credential Permit levels to all staff who work directly with young children.
In 2019-20, the name of AB212 was changed to Quality Counts California - Work Force Pathway Grant (QCC~WFPG) stipends. The funds are funneled through the San Bernardine Superintendent of Schools. In November 2021, the City Council approved Resolution R-113-21.
Issues/Analysis:
R-113-21 provided clear direction to receive the funds but lacked clarity on which account to expend the QCC-WFPG stipends. R-48-26 is intended to resolve this issue. R-48-26 also continues the pass-through provisions granted by R-113-21 regarding the QCC-WRPG stipends.
Fiscal Impacts:
Approval of Resolution R-48--26 will amend the FY2025-26 adopted budget to accept and expend the QCC~WFPG stipends increasing revenue and appropriations in the following accounts and amounts:

Prepared By: Deb Farrar, Director
Item Name: Early Childhood Education (ECE) Funding - Approve and Adopt a Resolution to Accept and Expend Quality Start San Bernardino Funding in the Amount of $87,000, Resolution No. R-49-26.
Recommended Action:
Approve and adopt Resolution R-49-26 to Accept and Expend Quality Start San Bernardino funding in the amount of $87,000 and amend the FY2025-26 budget accordingly.
Background:
In 2017, the City of Colton, Early Care and Education Division, entered into a contract to become part of Quality Start San Bernardino (QSSB). QSSB is part of the Quality Rating Improvement System (QRIS) in California. QRIS is designed to enable and assist ECE preschool programs across the State in offering high-quality early learning experiences for young children. This is accomplished with Professional Development, Coaching, Facility Enhancement, Classroom Materials, and Observations.
ECE Facilities are rated via a Tiered System, with scores ranging from 1 to 5, where 5 is the highest quality. Scores are based on staff education levels, teacher-child interactions, meaningful interactions, facility equipment and supplies, and more. Every year, each facility is "rated and scored" using the aforementioned matrix. Then, depending on the score, facilities, and thus the Agency, receive a stipend. The amount of the stipends has varied over the years, as has the rating of our facilities.
R-30-18 was the original QSSB resolution that allowed the receipt and expenditure of QSSB funds. Additionally, R-19-20 was a secondary Resolution related to QSSB.
R-49-6 supersedes both, but continues the pass-through privileges previously granted.
Issues/Analysis:
Up until FY 2024-25, QSSB had no "spend-by" date. Now, QSSB funds from one FY must be spent by the following FY. To ensure the QSSB funds are properly allocated, budgeted, spent, and reported, the following changes in Fiscal Impact will put the City of Colton in compliance.
Fiscal Impacts:
Adoption of Resolution R-49-26 will amend the FY2025-26 budget to increase revenues and appropriations to accept and expend QSSB funds as follows:
Revenue:
• Increase Miscellaneous Grant Fund revenue account number 225-5889-018 by $87,000 Appropriations
• Increase appropriations in Miscellaneous Grant Fund Instructional Supplies Account Number 225-7200-7203-2304-0000-018 by $65,750
• Increase appropriations in Miscellaneous Grant Fund Professional Services Account Number 225-7200-7203-2350-0000-018 by $10,000
• Increase appropriations in Miscellaneous Grant Fund Capital Improvement Account Number 225-7200-7203-3890-0000-018 by $11,250

WHEREAS, the QSSB incentive funding is based on a tiered system of 1 to 5 from SBCSOS, based on factors such as staff education, teacher-child interactions, facility environment, and is paid through a single annual payment directly to the City of Colton; and, WHEREAS, this resolution, R-49-26, supersedes R-30-18 and R-19-20.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Colton does hereby resolve as follows:

Prepared By: Justin Weems, Fire Chief
Item Name: Grant - Approve and Accept a Grant From the California Fire Foundation in the Amount of $11,800.00 and Amending the FY2025-2026 Budget, Resolution No. R-44-26.
Recommended Action:
1. Approve Resolution R-44-26 to accept the California Fire Foundation Grant and amend the FY2025-26 budget to accept the grant funds; and,
2. Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute the grant agreement.
Background:
The California Fire Foundation (CFF), a non-profit 501 (c)(3) organization, provides emotional and financial assistance to families of fallen firefighters, firefighters and the communities they protect. Formed in 1987 by California Professional Firefighters, the CFF’s mandate includes an array of survivor and victim assistance projects and community initiatives.
On April 17th, 2026, the CFF awarded the City of Colton a grant in the amount of $11,800.00.
The funds will be used to purchase wildland fire packs.
Issues/Analysis:
The department’s currently issued wildland fire packs are several years old and have seen extensive operational use, resulting in wear that can affect reliability and effectiveness in the field. Given the demanding and high-risk nature of wildland firefighting, dependable and ergonomically designed equipment is critical to maintaining firefighter safety and readiness.
Acceptance of this grant will allow the replacement of aging packs with modern equipment that offers improved durability, load distribution, and functionality. This upgrade will enhance performance, reduce fatigue, and better support extended operations, ultimately improving
firefighter safety and operational effectiveness.
Fiscal Impacts:
Acceptance requires an amendment to the 2025-2026 Fiscal Year Budget, increasing the revenue estimate in Miscellaneous Grants Fund Account Number 225-5879-021 in the amount of $11,800.00, and an increase of appropriations in the Miscellaneous Grant Fund Fire Department Account Number 225-6090-6091-2301-0000-021 in the amount of $11,800.00.

Staff Report
Meeting Date: June 2, 2026
To: City Council
From: Bill Smith, City Manager
Prepared By: Justin Weems, Fire Chief
Item Name: HSGP Grant Acceptance - Approve and Adopt a Resolution to Accept Homeland Security Grant Program Grant Funding From the San Bernardino County Office of Emergency Services in the Amount of $13,389.00, Resolution No. R-46-26.
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution Number R-46-26 to accept a Homeland Security Grant Program grant from the San Bernardino County Office of Emergency Services in the amount of $13,389.00 for the purchase of ballistic gear and trauma kits for the Colton Fire Department. Staff further recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute all necessary documents to facilitate grant acceptance and project implementation.
Background:
The Colton Fire Department applied for the Fiscal Year 2024 Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) to refresh the department’s cache of ballistic protective equipment and medical trauma kits. The primary objective of this project is to replace existing inventory that is reaching its manufacturer-rated expiration date.
Ballistic gear and trauma kits are essential for firefighter safety and effective patient care during active shooter incidents, mass casualty events, and other high-threat emergencies. The requested equipment meets the rigorous safety requirements outlined in NFPA 3000: Standard for an Active Shooter/Hostile Event Response (ASHER) Program.
Issues/Analysis:
Currently, the Department’s ballistic panels and trauma supplies are approaching the end of their reliable lifespan. Because the integrity of ballistic material degrades over time, replacement is a critical safety necessity rather than an elective upgrade. Procuring this equipment through the HSGP ensures that Colton Firefighters remain equipped with the most advanced, up-to-date
technology available to protect both themselves and the public during volatile incidents.
Fiscal Impacts:
Acceptance requires an amendment to the 2025-2026 Fiscal Year Budget increasing the revenue estimate in Miscellaneous Grant Fund Account Number 225-5879-014 in the amount of $13,389.00, and an increase of appropriations in the Miscellaneous Grant Fund Fire Department Account Number 225-6090-6091-2301-0000-014 in the amount of $13,389.00.
There is no fiscal impact to the City’s General Fund as this grant does not require any local matching funds.

Staff Report
Meeting Date: June 2, 2026
To: City Council
From: Bill Smith, City Manager
Prepared By: Chad Blais, PW & Utility Services Director Item Name: Purchase - Maui Signs and Neon - Approve the Purchase of Residential Street Signs from Maui Signs and Neon in an Amount of $107,648.32 for the Residential Street Sign Project.
Recommended Action:
Approve the purchase of residential street signs from Maui Sign and Neon in the amount of $107,648.32 as the lowest responsible bidder for the Residential Street Sign Project.
Background:
As part of the fiscal year 2025-26 budget the City Council approved funding for the replacement of residential street name signs that have become faded, non-reflective, or damaged throughout the City. This project required some outside assistance from the City's GIS contractor to identify the number of signs required, the locations of all the existing residential street name signs within the City, and identification of the block number that will be included with each sign. The goal is to purchase signs at a lump sum price over the next 12-months and Public Works staff will gradually install the new signs as they are available.
Issues/Analysis:
In accordance with Colton Municipal Code (CMC) Section 3.08.080, a formal request for Notice Inviting Bids was published on March 20, 2026, and March 27, 2026. The sealed bid opening took place on April 16, 2026 at 4:00 p.m utilizing the City's BidNet webpage.
Nine (9) bid proposals were received from contractors, and staff tabulated and evaluated the submitted bids. The initial apparent low bidder did not fill out the required bid forms and did not bid on the correct type of sign, so staff is rejecting that bid as non-responsive. The apparent low and responsive bidder is Maui Sign and Neon in the amount of $107,648.32. The sealed bids received are as follows:
Vendor Bid Amount
Technology International Inc $94,105.83**
Maui Sign and Neon $107,648.32
Safeway Sign $126,776.62
CAT Tracking Inc $144,035.53
Maneri Sign Company dba AWP
Safety
$157,079.61
Zumar Industries $161,741.70
Main Street Signs $166,102.69
RCR Traffic Specialist $170,770.00
Square Signs LLC dba Front Signs $264,102.93
** This bid was rejected as non-responsive due to failing to complete the required bid forms.
Staff recommends authorizing a purchase order in the amount of $107,648.32 to Maui Signs and Neon as the lowest responsive and responsible bidder for the Residential Street Sign Project.
Fiscal Impacts:
Sufficient appropriations are available in the adopted FY 2025/26 budget in General Fund Streets Division, Operating Supp./Equip Account Number 100-6150-6160-2301-0000-000.

Staff Report
Meeting Date: June 2, 2026
To: City Council
From: Bill Smith, City Manager
Prepared By: Anthony Vega, Chief of Police
Item Name: Purchase - Xybix Systems, Inc. - Approve the Purchase and Installation of Dispatch Console Workstations from Xybix Systems, Inc. for the Police Department Dispatch Center via NASPO ValuePoint No. 00318 in the Amount of $76,886.86.
Recommended Action:
1. Approve the purchase and installation of dispatch console workstations for the Police Department Communications Center from Xybix Systems, Inc. in the amount of $76,886.86 in accordance with Colton Municipal Code §3.08.140 (c); and
2. Authorize the City Manager to execute all necessary documents related to the purchase and installation.
Background:
The Police Department Dispatch Center is a critical public safety operation that functions continuously, 24 hours per day, seven days per week. Dispatch personnel routinely monitor emergency calls, radio traffic, computer-aided dispatch systems, surveillance systems, and other critical communications equipment while coordinating emergency response resources throughout the City.
The current dispatch workstation equipment and furniture is over 20 years old and have experienced substantial wear due to continuous daily use. The aging equipment no longer adequately supports the operational, technological, and ergonomic needs of Communications Center personnel. As technology and dispatch operations have evolved, the existing workstations have become increasingly limited in their ability to efficiently accommodate modern dispatch equipment, monitor configurations, cable management, and workspace functionality.
Issues/Analysis:
Dispatch personnel work in a high-demand environment requiring continuous monitoring of multiple computer screens, radio systems, telephone systems, and emergency communications equipment for extended periods of time. Modern dispatch console systems are specifically designed to improve operator comfort, efficiency, organization, and operational effectiveness in mission-critical environments.
The proposed workstation systems include:
• Height-adjustable sit-to-stand work surfaces with ergonomic configurations;Integrated “Rollervision” monitor mounting systems;
• Cable management bridges and integrated data dock systems; • Acoustic panel systems for sound absorption;
• Integrated USB, CAT6, and power connectivity;
• CPU ventilation and storage systems;
• Adjustable task lighting and arc lighting systems; and • Integrated cooling and airflow systems for workstation equipment.
The project will improve the functionality and organization of the Dispatch Center while providing dispatch personnel with updated ergonomic workstations designed specifically for emergency communications operations. The upgraded systems are expected to improve operational efficiency, reduce workspace clutter, and provide a more durable and sustainable long-term solution for the Communications Center.
Additionally, staff is requesting to use Colton Municipal Code §3.08.140(c), exceptions to competitive bidding, which states: "Competitive Bidding Already Completed. When the Authorized Contracting Party determines that a competitive bid procedure has been conducted by another public agency (e.g. through CMAS or GSA) and the price to the City is equal to or better than the price to that public agency." Xybix Systems has a contract with NASPO ValuePoint, No. 00318, and the City of Colton is extended equivalent pricing, qualifying for the piggyback.
Fiscal Impacts:
The total project cost for the purchase, freight, removal and disposal, installation, and related workstation components is $76,886.86. Sufficient appropriations are available in the adopted FY 2025-2026 budget in General Fund Police Department Office Equipment Account #100-6070- 6071-4900-0000-000.
Alternatives:
Provide alternative direction to staff.

Staff Report
Meeting Date: June 2, 2026
To: City Council
From: Bill Smith, City Manager
Prepared By: Chad Blais, PW & Utility Services Director Item Name: Public Hearing - Set Public Hearing for June 16, 2026 to Approve and Adopt the Following Resolutions to Initiate Proceedings for the Annual Levy of Assessments for Landscape Lighting and Maintenance District I for Fiscal Year 2026-27, Resolution No. R-34- 26, R-35-26,& R-36-26.
Recommended Action:
Approve and adopt the following resolutions to initiate proceedings for the annual levy of assessments for Landscape Lighting and Maintenance District I for Fiscal Year 2026-27:
1. Resolution No. R-34-26, Initiating Proceedings;
2. Resolution No. R-35-26, Approving the Preliminary Engineer’s Report;
3. Resolution No. R-36-26, Intention to Set the Public Hearing date regarding this matter for June 16, 2026.
Background:
In compliance with the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972, Part 2 of Division 15 of the Streets and Highways Code of California, the City Council formed a Landscape and Lighting Maintenance Assessment District (LLMD). Currently, there are two (2) Landscape Lighting and Maintenance Districts within the City of Colton. Each District provides the services of maintaining lighting, landscaping, and all applicable facilities within its boundaries.
Within the LLMD District I, there are five (5) zones (See Exhibit A for locations). A variable amount is levied in each zone based on the benefit each property type (residential, industrial or commercial) receives; a single family residence is used as the basic unit of assessment and is assessed an Equivalent Benefit Unit (EBU) of 1.00. In addition to the EBU, the other determining factor in establishing each zone’s corresponding assessment is the acreage of each parcel. The costs associated with maintaining the improvements within each zone are distributed
to the parcels within the zone in proportional benefit received by those parcels. Only parcels that directly benefit from the improvements are assessed.
On June 18, 2013, the City Council determined that street lighting charges be excluded from both LLMD Districts I and II and be considered as part of the City-wide services as a matter of public safety.
For irrigation water service charges, Council approved a reduction of cost that is proportional to shared public areas (i.e. medians, parks and other publicly accessible areas that are in the LLMD service areas) to allow the District to catch up on lingering maintenance issues. The common area is approximately 38% of total LLMD areas. The cost of City-owned utilities expense for Fiscal Year 2026-27 is approximately $60,000 for both electricity and water.
Issues/Analysis:
The Preliminary Engineer’s Report for FY 2026-27 is available for review at the City Clerk’s Office. The Fiscal Year 2026-27 budget does not reflect any levy changes to the five (5) zones located within the District (Zones: 2, 3, 4, 5 and 8). When the zones were originally set up, they were assigned these specific zone numbers and to ensure consistency throughout multiple documentation, this zone numbering system has remained in place. Staff is recommending that the City Council authorize the City of Colton Electric and Water continue to provide electric and water services and these costs be excluded from the District expenses for the upcoming fiscal year in a same manner as previously approved. West Valley Water District provides water service in the western part of the City of Colton. The LLMD will continue to incur the cost of water provided by WVWD in LLMD I, Zone 8.
The LLMD I assessment rate was established in 1980s and has not been adjusted since. Only the Zone 3 Annexation area has an inflator of 3% per year. Since the LLMD I was formed without an inflator clause, the rates cannot be increased to meet the service costs without voter approval for each defined district/zone. The cost of operation and contract services continue to escalate, especially after the 2015 California Statewide prevailing wage requirements. The 3% escalator for Zone 3 is being recommended to be included as part of Fiscal Year 2026-27 assessments. All other Zone assessments will remain unchanged. Staff is estimating the LLMD II assessments will generate revenue in the amount of $335,127 while the projected expenses are estimated to be $343,205. Staff will be using available reserves to cover the shortfall in revenue to cover expenses. In consideration of future cost escalation continuing to exceed revenue generated, Council may consider reassessing the LLMD levy rates through a Prop 218 Hearing process in order for the City of Colton to continue to provide the landscape maintenance services throughout the City.
If authorized, the resolution attached to this report will be advertised in the local newspaper to inform the community that a Public Hearing will be held on Tuesday, June 16, 2026, at 6:00 p.m., for the LLMD I Fiscal Year 2026-27 Engineer’s Report.
Fiscal Impacts:
The Preliminary Engineer’s Report is on file in the Office of the City Clerk as prescribed by law and identifies the LLMD I operating budget for FY 2026-27 to be $343,205.00. The LLMD I
revenue for FY 2026-27 is estimated at $335,127.00. Sufficient reserve balance is available to fund the shortfall.

I. OVERVIEW
A. INTRODUCTION
The City of Colton (“City”) annually levies and collects special assessments in order to provide financing for maintenance, servicing, and operation of the improvements within the existing Landscape and Lighting Maintenance District No. I (“District”). The District was formed and is levied annually pursuant to the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972, Part 2 of Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code (“1972 Act”) and is in compliance with the substantive and procedural requirements of the California State Constitution, Article XIIID (“Article XIIID”).
The Engineer’s Annual Levy Report (“Report”) describes the District, any changes to the District, and the proposed assessments for Fiscal Year 2026/2027. The assessments are based on the historical and estimated costs necessary to maintain the improvements that provide a direct and special benefit to properties within the District. The District includes five distinct Benefit Zones (“Zones”). The improvements within the District and the corresponding costs are budgeted and assessed separately for each Zone, including all expenditures, deficits, surpluses, revenues, and reserves.
For the purposes of this Report, the word “parcel” refers to an individual property assigned its own Assessor’s Parcel Number by the San Bernardino County Assessor’s Office. The San Bernardino County Auditor/Controller uses Assessor’s Parcel Numbers and specific Fund Numbers to identify properties assessed for special district benefit assessments on the tax roll.
On July 17, 2007 the City conducted a property owner protest ballot relating to the addition of Zone 3 improvements and the addition of an inflator to the Zone 3 assessment formula, as well as the annexation of Tract 16912 to Zone 3. At the public hearing, the tabulation of the owner protest ballots did not result in a majority protest regarding any of the ballot issues.
At a noticed annual Public Hearing, the City Council will accept all public comments and written protests regarding the District and the annual levy of assessments. Upon conclusion of the Public Hearing, the City Council will consider all public comments and review the Report. The City Council may order amendments to the Report or confirm the Report as submitted. Following final approval of the Report and confirmation of the assessments the Council will, by Resolution, order the improvements to be made and confirm the levy and collection of assessments pursuant to the 1972 Act. The assessments as
approved will be submitted to the San Bernardino County Auditor/Controller to be included on the property tax roll for each parcel.
B. COMPLIANCE WITH CURRENT LEGISLATION
On November 5, 1996, California voters approved Proposition 218. The provisions of Proposition 218 are now contained in the California Constitutional Articles XIIIC and XIIID.
Pursuant to Article XIIID Section 5, certain existing assessments (those that existed on or before November 6, 1996) are exempt from the substantive and procedural requirements of Article XIIID Section 4 and property owner balloting for the existing assessments is not required until such time that such assessments are increased. Specifically:
The improvements and the annual assessments for maintaining local improvements within Zones 2, 4, 5, and 8 were part of the original conditions of development and approved by the property owner of record at that time. Therefore, pursuant to Article XIIID Section 5(b), the existing assessments were approved by all the property owners at the time the assessment was created (originally imposed pursuant to a 100% landowner petition) and as such, the existing assessment amounts are exempt from the substantive and procedural requirements of Article XIIID Section 4. The City’s legal counsel also determined that the District’s existing assessments for Zones 2, 4, 5, and 8 were for the maintenance of specific street related improvements (median and parkway landscaping and street lighting) and these improvements are part of the overall street improvements. Therefore, pursuant to Article XIIID Section 5(a), the portion of the existing assessment used exclusively for street maintenance are also considered exempt from the substantive and procedural requirements of Article XIIID Section 4.
In compliance with the provisions of the Article XIIID, the City conducted a property owner protest ballot proceeding for the annexation of Tract 16912 and the proposed levy of a new assessment range formula for Zone 3. In conjunction with this ballot proceeding, the City Council conducted a noticed public hearing to consider public testimonies, comments and written protests regarding the formation of the District. Upon conclusion of the public hearing, property owner protest ballots received were opened and tabulated to determine whether a majority protest existed (ballots were weighted based on assessment amounts).
Since a majority protest did not exist for the proposed assessments and the assessment range formula presented and described herein, the City Council, by
resolution, confirmed the results of the ballot tabulation. The City Council approved the annexation, ordered the formation of the annexation, and approved the assessment diagram and levy and collection of assessments.
All assessments approved by the City Council have been prepared in accordance with the 1972 Act for the Zones formed prior to November 6, 1996 and are in compliance with the provisions of Article XIIID and the 1972 Act for zones and annexations formed after 1996.
II. DESCRIPTION OF THE DISTRICT
A. GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE DISTRICT AND SERVICES
The District provides maintenance, servicing, and operation of landscape and lighting improvements and associated appurtenances located within the public right-of-ways and dedicated landscape easements, within the District. The District’s five Zones have specific improvements and services that provide a special and direct benefit to the parcels within the respective Zones. Originally Zone 3 (La Loma Hills) consisted of the parcels located southeast of the Santa Ana River and west of State Highway No. 215. Initially, the improvements associated with Zone 3 included only the entry monument on La Cadena Drive, north of Maryknoll Drive, and the parkways, islands, and medians extending northerly from the entry monument. Since the entry monument improvement is considered to provide a large degree of general benefit to the City and the public at large, the costs to maintain this improvement are paid from the City’s General Fund and no assessment has been levied against properties within the Zone for costs associated with the maintenance of the monument. Since the formation of Zone 3, additional improvements have been made along S. La Cadena which provide a direct benefit to the parcels within Zone 3 and the developing tract along Rosedale Avenue, Tract 16912.
All parcels identified as being within a Zone share in both the cost and the benefits of the improvements. The costs associated with the improvements are equitably spread among all benefiting parcels within that Zone and only parcels that receive special benefit from the improvements are assessed.
Landscape and lighting improvements provided by the District are located within the public street right-of-ways, easements, parkways, and medians. These improvements may include but are not limited to turf; ground cover; shrubs; trees; irrigation systems; ornamental lighting; entry monuments; drainage systems; street lighting; and associated appurtenances. The costs associated with these improvements include all necessary service, operations, administration, and maintenance required to keep the above-mentioned improvements in a healthy, vigorous, and satisfactory working condition. The
City may utilize both City personnel and the services of landscape maintenance contractors for all regularly scheduled landscape maintenance. The specific locations of improvements within each Zone are described in the following section.
B. IMPROVEMENTS AUTHORIZED BY THE 1972 ACT
As applicable or may be applicable to this proposed District, the 1972 Act defines improvements to mean one or any combination of the following:
