CORONA CHAMBER OF

COMMERCE
PSA with CITY OF CORONA

START WITH THE BEGINNING
• In the 1960’s the Chamber went to the City to advocate for a hotel tax, today it is called a TOT transient
occupancy tax.
• Today this tax results in over a million dollars annually to the City.
• This was to help in supporting the efforts to retain and attract businesses in Corona.
• In the late 1970’s the City invested $75,000 in the
CORONA Chamber, which today would be equivalent
to $292,000. Page 2014 of 2077
The Core of the City’s Economic Development Dept.

To stimulate and support economic growth within the community In what ways can this be
accomplished?

Primary Goals of an Economic Development Dept.
• Attract New Businesses
• Support Exiting Businesses
• Create Jobs
• Increase the Tax Base
• Revitalize Communities
• Foster Innovation and Sustainability
• Build Partnerships

Potential Consequences of Partnership Loss
• Weakened Business Support Network
• Reduced Economic Development Opportunities
• Limited Advocacy and Representation
• Fewer Community Events and Engagement
• Missed Marketing and Branding Opportunities
• Fragmented Communication

Partnership Matters
Why Does A Strong Partnership Matter?
A strong city-chamber relationship creates a collaborative ecosystem where:
• Businesses thrive
• Residents benefit from job creation and services
• The city grows in a sustainable, inclusive way
• Unifies the Businesses, the Community and the City

The City’s Budget Breakdown
There are 16 Departments within the City of Corona. Here they are and their budgets.

This is only .43% of the
total budget
Out of the proposed
partnership of $60,000,
this is small 3.61% of the
ED Budget
Which equals 0.0142% of
the City’s Total Budget!

Considerations
• The scope of the service changes and/or expand
• The costs of labor, insurance, overhead, and services have significantly increased year over year
• Inflation has caused the dollar value to fall
• The Chamber continues to support the City with special requests such as the Tarriff meeting with Manufacturers.
• Through our Inland Empire World Trade Conference, we bring in large business audience to Corona
• Economic Forecast with high level presenter delivers impactful information about the economy
• The proposed $60,000 PSA is equivalent to about .40 of the cost of a single Economic Development employee.
• The Chamber’s GMC’s provides the platform for the City to Connect with and Communicate to large number of businesses.

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBJECT:

COUNCILMEMBER RICHINS REQUEST TO DISCUSS PROPOSED PICKLEBALL

COURTS AT EL CERRITO PARK
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

This staff report asks the City Council to provide direction on the construction of new outdoor pickleball courts at El Cerrito Park. This project was originally proposed as a Fiscal Year 2026 Capital Improvement Project; however, the project was put on pause per the request of the City Council during the FY 26 budget adoption.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

That the City Council provide direction on the construction of new outdoor pickleball courts at El Cerrito Park.

BACKGROUND & HISTORY:

Demand is growing for pickleball. From 2023 – 2024, participation in the sport increased by 46% throughout the United States. Pickleball courts were identified as one of the top four outdoor features most desired by residents in the Parks and Recreation Master Plan (PRMP). The PRMP calls for 23 pickleball courts to meet level of service (LOS) guidelines (one (1) court per 7,300 residents). Currently, the City has 12 dedicated pickleball courts (10 at Border Park and two (2) at Husted Park), plus five (5) multi-use courts (three (3) at

Circle City Center and two (2) at El Cerrito Park) that can be used for pickleball. This brings the total to 17 courts throughout the City. Thus, an additional six (6) courts are needed to fulfill the PRMP LOS guidelines.

Demand for tennis has also seen growth, with participation in sport increasing 8% from 2023-2024. Corona currently has 19 tennis courts located at seven (7) parks throughout the City, and three of these courts are located 1.8 miles from the proposed project site.

The number of existing tennis courts currently meets the PRMP LOS guidelines (one (1) court per 8,400 residents) with its 19 courts.

To address the need for additional pickleball courts, staff proposed a capital improvement project (CIP) in the FY 2026 budget to convert two tennis courts at El Cerrito Park into eight pickleball courts and construct four additional pickleball courts on a vacant parcel adjacent to the tennis courts, for a total of 12 new pickleball courts. The PRMP also suggests converting a pickleball court at Border Park back into a tennis court to offset the reduction in tennis courts.

ANALYSIS:

Per the request of the City Council, the FY 2026 CIP to construct new pickleball courts at El Cerrito Park was put on hold to provide time to evaluate the impact of several new private pay-to-play pickleball courts that are currently under construction at Eagle Glen Golf Club. Based on feedback received from the pickleball community regarding this issue, Councilmember Richins asked for this item to be brought back to the City Council for further discussion.

At tonight’s meeting, staff will present 5 options to the City Council for consideration regarding pickleball courts at El Cerrito Park.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

The financial impact of constructing the proposed pickleball courts at El Cerrito Park is $1,097,802. If another option is selected, the financial impact will change, either to be less or slightly more. Sufficient funding is available in the Pickleball Facility Capital Improvement Project No. FC-2026-05 within Measure X Fund 120 to cover the project cost.

Contact: Cameron Brown, Program Manager, [email protected], (951) 405-6712 Date: July 23, 2025
Recommended Action(s):

1. Recommend that the WRCOG Executive Committee approve the Fiscal Year 2025/2026 TUMF Northwest Zone 5-Year Transportation Improvement Program.

Summary:

The TUMF Northwest Zone Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) allocates TUMF funding to the agencies within the Northwest Zone for TUMF Network improvements. The Northwest Zone Executive Committee reviews and approves the draft Northwest Zone 2025/2026 TIP previously recommended by the TUMF Northwest Zone Technical Advisory Committee (TAC).

Purpose / WRCOG 2022-2027 Strategic Plan Goal:

The purpose of this item is to review the Fiscal Year 2025/2026 TUMF allocations for the Northwest Zone. This effort supports WRCOG's 2022-2027 Strategic Plan Goal #5 (Develop projects and programs that improve infrastructure and sustainable development in our subregion).

Discussion:

Background
TUMF Program funds are programmed through a collaborative exercise involving each of WRCOG's TUMF participating member agencies. The WRCOG subregion is divided into TUMF Zones, which allow member agencies to coordinate with neighboring ones to discuss project allocations. The TUMF Northwest Zone is represented by Committee members from the Cities of Corona, Eastvale, Jurupa Valley, Norco, and Riverside, and the County of Riverside Districts 1 and 2.

Present Situation
Staff and elected officials representing each jurisdiction within the Northwest Zone meet regularly to discuss funding allocations for individual projects. The approval of these allocations involves two groups, the Northwest Zone TAC and the Northwest Zone Executive Committee. The Northwest Zone TAC

consists of member agency staff on WRCOG's Public Works Committee (PWC) in the Northwest Zone.

The Northwest Zone Executive Committee consists of elected representatives of WRCOG's Executive Committee within the Northwest Zone.

The Northwest Zone TAC has compiled a preliminary Fiscal Year 2025/2026 TUMF Northwest Zone TIP to be presented to the Northwest Zone Executive Committee. This document will be reviewed and discussed, and any changes will be made as recommended by the Northwest Zone Executive Committee. Once approved by the Northwest Zone Executive Committee, the WRCOG Executive Committee will be presented the Zone TIP for final approval.

Prior Action(s):

March 18, 2025: The TUMF Northwest Zone Technical Advisory Committee recommended that the Northwest Zone Executive Committee approve the Fiscal Year 2025/2026 TUMF Northwest Zone Transportation Improvement Program.

Financial Summary:

Any reimbursements of TUMF-related expenses authorized on the approved Northwest Zone TIP will be funded through the TUMF Account (Fund 220). The anticipated revenue reflects current funds held by WRCOG for the Northwest Zone TIP and also anticipated revenues. Payments are only made after the WRCOG member agency secures a reimbursement agreement for those expenditures with WRCOG.

Payments occur after receiving a reimbursement request, which is then reviewed by WRCOG staff and 3rd party consultants to ensure consistency with the TUMF Administrative Plan.

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBJECT:

TRAVEL REQUEST FOR COUNCIL MEMBER WES SPEAKE TO ATTEND THE

LEAGUE OF CALIFORNIA CITIES ANNUAL CONFERENCE AND EXPO
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

This staff report asks the City Council to approve Council Member Wes Speake's advance travel request to attend the League of California Cities 2025 Annual Conference and Expo.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

That the City Council approve the advance request for Council Member Wes Speake to attend the League of California Cities (Cal Cities) 2025 Annual Conference and Expo.

The estimated total cost of the trip is $1,028.51, which includes registration, meals, and transportation.

BACKGROUND & HISTORY:

The League of California Cities Annual Conference and Expo is an annual conference of California municipal leaders and officials. The conference includes general sessions, interactive workshops, and networking events designed for government leaders.

Attendees will hear from expert speakers and engage in timely presentations on critical issues facing local communities, along with numerous opportunities for peer-to-peer exchange with fellow city officials from across California.

Additionally, Cal Cities convenes a member-driven General Assembly and Resolutions process yearly at the conference. This is a unique opportunity to engage all members on significant policy issues to protect local control.

Administrative Policy. 01200.001 (Travel and Other Expense Reimbursement Policy) requires all City Officials to obtain approval from the City Council for event registration and other related fees.

ANALYSIS:

The League of California Cities 2025 Annual Conference and Expo will take place October 8th – 10th, 2025, in Long Beach, CA. This annual event provides city officials with opportunities for professional development, legislative updates, and networking with peers from across the state. Council Member Speake, who serves on the Housing, Community, and Economic Development Policy Committee, has requested to attend the three-day event and represent the City.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

City Council Members’ travel and other expense reimbursements are funded by the City Council’s operating budget within General Fund 110. Funding for this request is available in the approved Fiscal Year 2026 Budget.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:

This action is exempt pursuant to section 15061 (b)(3) for the Guidelines for the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), which states that a project is exempt from CEQA if covered by the commonsense exemption that CEQA applies to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. This action seeks Council approval for Council Member Speake’s travel request. There is no possibility that approving the recommended action will have a significant effect on the environment.

Therefore, no environmental analysis is required.

Future Agenda Item Request Form
Future agenda items should be limited to new issues that emerge during the year that are urgent and cannot wait until the next priority setting session of Council before requiring action.

Name: Wes Speake
Date: 7//25/2025
Title Name/Topic: Update of Chapter 5.34 PEDDLERS AND SOLICITORS Background

1. What is the purpose of the request, i.e. what are you trying to achieve or do? Drastically reduce negative interactions at resident doorsteps and restore/reset the relationship between solicitors and residents. Unwanted door-to-door solicitations from aggressive sales reps can disrupt privacy, compromise security, and frustrate residents who wish to enjoy peace in their homes.

I would like to update various parts of 5.34. as noted below:

2. What is the scope of the work you wish to see done?
If approved, I would like to:

1. Revise the definition of “Solicitor” (Section 5.34.020(B)) to include individuals who gather data for resale—commonly referred to as "lead generators."

2. Require solicitors to display an State issued Home Improvement Salesperson (HIS) license at all times, and to present it upon request by a resident. The ID must clearly state who they represent and what they are selling.

3. Increase fines for violating Section 5.34.110 (No Solicitors Sign)— doubling the current penalty to strengthen enforcement. 2 nd time is revocation
of permit

4. Mandate that all solicitors and their affiliated businesses possess a valid Corona Solicitors Peddlers Permit and Active Business License.

5. Amend Section 5.34.160 (Aggressive Soliciting) to include refusal to leave a premises when asked as a form of aggressive solicitation.

6. Explore the development of a “No Solicitors” list, which could be shared with solicitor permit holders as part of compliance requirements. Similar to DO NOT CALL Registry

7. Require solicitors to acknowledge and accept all relevant rules and responsibilities when applying for a solicitation permit.

8. Increase public education efforts regarding rights under Chapter 5.34 (Peddlers & Solicitors), including:

o Solicitors must visibly display a valid state and city-issued permit and provide it upon request.
o Solicitors may not approach homes that have a clearly posted “No Solicitors” sign.
o Repeated solicitation after a resident has declined is prohibited. o Detail aggressive action in code

3. Does this request align with the City’s Strategic Plan? How? #5 Sense of Place- Quality of life issue

4. What is the desired timeline to have the issue considered by Council? If approved by council, as it fits in with the current timelines and staff workload

5. Is the issue urgent requiring action before the next priority setting session of Council (Fall Policy Workshop)?
Yes, if changes were to be recommended, they could be heard in the fall policy workshop and potentially added our state or federal platform to expand at the state or federal
To protect consumer preferences and reduce nuisance visits, it's time to establish a city Do Not Solicit Database, modeled after the successful Do Not Call Register used to block telemarketing calls.

The Case for a Do Not Solicit Database
 Respect for Residential Privacy:

Just as phone calls to individuals on the Do Not Call list are restricted, door-to-door interactions should honor a resident’s explicit wish not to be contacted.  Proven Framework to Follow:

The Do Not Call Register, administered by government agencies, already:
o Records individual preferences
o Enforces penalties for violations
o Reduces unwanted contact
 A similar framework could be adapted for physical solicitations—with registration available online or by mail.
 Enhanced Community Safety:

Limiting unsolicited visits minimizes exposure to scams and impersonators who prey on neighborhoods under the guise of canvassing.
 Convenience for Solicitors:

A centralized database benefits businesses and organizations by clearly identifying which households to avoid—saving time and respecting boundaries.  Public Support and Feasibility:

Surveys show broad support for limiting door-to-door solicitation. Since the

infrastructure for opt-out registries already exists, implementation costs would be modest compared to the long-term societal benefit.

How It Would Work
Feature Do Not Call Register Proposed Do Not Solicit Database Purpose Prevent telemarketing calls Prevent door-to-door solicitations Access Free to all individuals Free online or mail registration Enforcement Fines for violators Fines and public notices of violation Visibility Used by companies for
compliance
Used by canvassers, vendors,
organizations
A Knock-Free Future
As society continues to evolve toward digital communication and consent-based marketing, a Do Not Solicit Database reflects modern values: respect, choice, and safety. The Do Not Call Register shows it’s not just possible—it’s popular and effective.

Let’s turn off the porch light to unwanted solicitations and turn on a future where personal boundaries are protected
