• Landslide Debris (Qls): All landslide debris that could adversely affect the proposed development shall be removed to expose the underlying competent bedrock. Generally, these deposits range in depth from 10 to about 29 feet, but may range up to around 35 feet in depth. • Removals Along Grading Limits: Removals of unsuitable soils shall be required prior to fill placement along the grading limit. A 1:1 projection, from toe of slope or grading limit, outward to competent materials shall be established, when possible. Where removals are not possible due to grading limits, property line or easement restrictions, removals shall be initiated at the grading boundary (property line easement, grading limit or outside the improvement) at a 1:1 ratio inward to competent materials. Where this reduced removal criterion is implemented, special maintenance zones may be necessary. Affected areas shall be established, minimally, as a 1:1 projection from suitable removal bottom to finish ground surface. This condition is mainly expected in the slope areas. Where the projection intersects the face of the slope, the potential for distortion of the slope in response to post-grading settlements exists and provisions for future maintenance of such slopes shall be provided.

Mitigation Measure GEO-2: Slope Stability and Remediation • Cut Slopes: The majority of cut slopes have been designed at a slope ratio of 2:1. The Engineering Geologist shall observe cut slopes and cut slope stabilization backcuts during grading. Modifications to the recommendations presented herein will likely be required based upon conditions exposed by grading. • Williams Formation (KW): Cut slopes within the Williams Formation may expose adverse bedding that shall require remediation. The cut slope superjacent to Lots 278 and 279 is anticipated to require replacement with a buttress fill. Probable buttresses are anticipated for the cut slope above Lots 261 through 267 and the cut slope below the WQMP Basin and Lots 247 through 255, as depicted on Figure 1 and Figure 2 (pocket) of the Geotechnical Report.
• Ladd Formation: Cut slopes within the Ladd Formation may expose adverse bedding that shall require remediation. The majority of the cut slopes should expose bedding dipping into the slope or at an angle steeper than the proposed cut slopes (greater than 60 degrees). Cut slopes within the Ladd Formation that expose bedding dipping into the slope or at an angle steeper than the proposed cut slopes are expected to be grossly stable; however, the final determination shall be made based on exposed conditions during grading. Cut slopes within the Ladd Formation may expose conglomerate resulting in poorly cemented sands, cobbles and boulders at finish grade, producing a rough uneven surface. These cut slopes shall be evaluated in the field by the Project Engineering Geologist or Geotechnical Engineer. Replacement of those slopes with compacted stabilization fills may be required. Future exploration and in-grading observation could reveal more favorable geology in these specific areas shall be 2 feet. Due to grading limit restrictions, removals of unsuitable soils beyond the proposed toe may be limited; therefore, additional slope maintenance shall be expected in the areas where a 1:1 projection into approved materials cannot be achieved.
• Alluvium/Colluvium: Cut slopes exposing alluvial/colluvial soils (Qal) shall require replacement with a drained stabilization fill. Typically, such corrective grading would be constructed with a minimum key width corresponding to one-half the full height of the superjacent slope, but not less than 15 feet. Minimum key depths at the toe shall be 2 feet. All stabilization fills shall be provided with a backdrain and outlet system as detailed in Appendix IV of the Geotechnical Report.
• Silverado Formation: Cut slopes within the Silverado Formation are expected to be grossly stable; however the final determination shall be made based on exposed conditions during grading. Cut slopes within the Silverado Formation may expose poorly cemented sands, cobbles and boulders at finish grade, which would produce a rough uneven surface. These cut slopes shall be evaluated in the field by the Project Engineering Geologist or Geotechnical Engineer. Replacement of those slopes with compacted stabilization fills may be required. • Fill Slopes: The majority of fill slopes on the project are designed at a maximum slope ratio of 2:1. The highest fill slope is approximately 160 feet in height and located subjacent to Lot 68. Based on the results of the calculations, the 2:1 fill slopes 160 feet and less in height, when properly constructed with onsite materials, are expected to be grossly stable, as designed. Keys shall be constructed at the toe of all fill slopes where unsuitable soil removals do not accomplish a minimum key width of one-half the slope height plus bench widths or twenty (20) feet, whichever is greater. Minimum key depths at the toe shall be 2 feet. Due to grading limit restrictions, removals of unsuitable soils beyond the proposed toe may be limited; therefore, additional slope maintenance shall be expected in the areas where a 1:1 projection into approved materials cannot be achieved.

Mitigation Measure GEO-3: Subsurface Drainage. Canyon subdrains are proposed as depicted on Figures 1 through 7 of the Geotechnical Report and shall consist of 6-inch and 8-inch diameter pipes and shall be constructed in accordance with the details shown in Appendix IV of the Geotechnical Report. Final determination of drain locations shall be made in the field. Outletting of subdrain systems shall require coordination with the Project Civil Engineer in determining suitable facilities to accept to drain water.

Mitigation Measure GEO-4: Overexcavation. Where a transition of cut and fill occurs across a finished lot, it shall be necessary to overexcavate the bedrock portions and replace it with compacted fill. The depth of bedrock overecavation shall be equal to 1/3 the maximum fill depth (after removals) on the fill side of the transition. Anticipated transition lots are shown on figures 1-7 of the geotechnical report. Cut pads shall be overexcavated a minimum of 5 feet to provide a uniform foundation material. Some highly expansive soils of the silverado formation may be encountered at grade in some areas.

Consideration shall be given to increasing the overexcavation depth to mitigate for highly expansive soils, if warranted.

Difficult excavation with a backhoe can be expected in some street areas. Ginter & associates recommends street overexcavation and replacement with compacted fill to facilitate utility emplacement in these street areas and driveways.

Depths of overexcavation shall extend one (1) foot below the deepest utility line.

Mitigation Measure GEO-6: Fill Placement, Moisture Conditioning, And Compaction. After approval of the overexcavation and prior to placement of any compacted engineered fill materials, the exposed removal bottoms shall be scarified to a minimum depth of six (6) inches.

The area shall then be moisture conditioned approximately 1 to 2 percentage points above the optimum moisture content, and compacted to a minimum of 90 (or 93) percent of the applicable maximum density. The planned development will involve deep fills in the canyon areas and side-hill fill slopes. In order to reduce the amount of fill settlement, the fill shall be compacted to the minimum relative compaction shown below:

Fill Depth (Feet)
Minimum Relative Compaction
(ASTM: D1557) (%)
0 – 50 90
Below 50 93
Fill slopes shall also be constructed at the minimum relative compactions shown above, with the exception of the outer 3 feet of the slope face which can be placed at 90% relative compaction. Deep fill areas requiring 93% relative compaction are delineated in Plate VI of the Geotechnical Report.

Generation of oversized rock (over 8 inches in maximum dimension) from excavations in the bedrocks is anticipated.

Oversize rock shall be placed in single file windrows not exceeding three feet in height and six (6) feet in width with a minimum equipment width (15 feet) separating each windrow or a rock blanket fill not exceeding two (2) to three (3) feet in height. Large erratic rocks shall be buried individually. Granular fill shall be thoroughly flooded in the rock voids and covered with a minimum two feet compacted fill blanket. Successive windrows shall be staggered and none shall be placed within 10 feet of finished grade or closer than 15 feet to compacted fill slope surfaces. Typical rock placement construction detail is provided in Appendix IV of the Geotechnical Report. Placement of rock windrows shall be performed under the observation and recommendations of the Project Geotechnical Engineer.

Fill materials shall be spread in thin lifts, moisture conditioned to about 1 to 2 percentage points over optimum moisture content and compacted to a minimum of 90 (or 93) percent of the laboratory maximum dry density as determined in accordance with ASTM Test Method D-1557. Each lift shall be treated in a like manner until the desired finished grades are achieved.

The grading contractor shall have suitable and sufficient compaction equipment in operation to achieve the required compaction. When necessary, earthmoving equipment may be utilized for compaction or temporarily halted in order to permit adequate compaction of fills.

Mitigation Measure GEO-7: Slope Construction

1. Care shall be taken during grading to prevent spillage of loose materials over slopes to remain natural. Should loose soil be spilled onto natural slopes by the grading contractor, removal of the loose fill shall be required.

2. Fill shall be properly benched into firm bedrock or compacted fill as directed by the Project Engineering Geologist and/or Geotechnical Engineer during grading. Typical benching shall include 4-foot verticals exposing approved, competent material (see Appendix D – Typical Benching Detail of the Geotechnical Report).

3. In order to minimize surficial slumps on compacted fill slopes, the following grading procedures shall be used:
a) Where possible, fill slopes shall be constructed by overfilling a minimum of three (3) horizontal feet and then trimming back to expose the dense inner core of the slope surface. Compacted fill slopes shall be back-rolled during construction at intervals not exceeding four (4) vertical feet. Care shall be taken to construct the slope in a workmanlike manner so that it is positioned at its designed orientation and slope ratio. Achieving a uniform slope surface by subsequent thin wedge filling must be avoided. Any add-on correction to a fill slope shall be done by overfilling the affected area in horizontal, compacted lifts which must be benched into the existing fill prism. The overfilled slope may then be trimmed to the design gradient.
b) Where fill slopes are planned above natural slopes and cannot be overfilled and trimmed back, the slopes shall be rolled for the entire height of the slope with a sheepsfoot roller and then finished with a grid roller.

If the desired compaction is not obtained in this manner, a vibratory sheepsfoot roller may be required. To City of Corona

be most effective, this equipment shall be anchored and manipulated from a side-boom tractor. In lieu of a grid roller, the slope may be track rolled with a John Deere 450, Caterpillar D-8 dozer or equivalent. To obtain the required compaction and appearance of the slope face, the soil moisture shall be maintained at above optimum from the time of mass filling to the completion of grid rolling. c) The grading contractor shall take proper care to avoid spillage of loose material down the face of the slopes during grading and during drainage terrace and down-drain construction. Fine grading operations for benches and down-drains shall not deposit loose trimmed soils on the finished slope surfaces. Loose soil materials shall require removal.
d) Seeding and planting of slopes shall proceed as rapidly as possible to achieve a well-established and deeprooted vegetal cover requiring minimal watering. The type of vegetation and watering schedule shall be established by a landscape architect familiar with hillside maintenance.

Mitigation Measure GEO-8: Earthwork Observations And Testing a) The site preparation, over-excavation, and earthwork shall be performed under the observation and testing by a representative of the Project Geotechnical Engineer or Project Geologist. b) The fill shall be tested at the time of placement to verify that the required compaction is achieved. c) The fill compaction shall be determined in the field by the Sand Cone Method (ASTM: D 1556) or Nuclear Gauge Method (ASTM: D 2216), or other test method approved by the Project Geotechnical Engineer. d) During grading, an adequate number of field density tests shall be performed using approved test procedures in order to determine compliance of earthwork to the project requirements. The frequency of field density testing shall be in accordance with the recommendations of the Project Geotechnical Engineer. e) Quality control testing performed to determine the acceptability of the fill compaction shall be based on the laboratory maximum dry density and optimum moisture content determined in accordance with ASTM: D 1557 test procedure.
f) Any surface or subsurface obstructions, or questionable materials encountered during grading shall be brought immediately to the attention of the Project Geotechnical Engineer. Deeper excavations may be required, should unsuitable soils be encountered locally, as determined by the Project Geotechnical Engineer and/or Project Geologist.

Mitigation Measure GEO-10: Foundation Design. The compacted engineered fill at the project site is anticipated to be low to medium soil expansion potential. Presented below are preliminary geotechnical criteria for design of building foundations, based on medium soil expansion potential for the on-site soils:

Option 1 - Conventional Footing:

Allowable Bearing Pressure (1) = 1,500 pounds per square foot (psf) Minimum Footing Depth (2) = 24 inches
Minimum Footing Width = Continuous: 12 inches; Isolated: 24 inches Passive Soil Pressure (3) = 250 psf/ft.

Friction Coefficient = 0.30 (ultimate)
Minimum Footing Reinforcement = Four No. 4 bars, 2 each at top and bottom Garage Door Grade Beam = 18 inches deep, Four No. 4 bars, Two each at top and bottom, tied into foundation elements.
(1) The above value may be increased 250 psf for each additional foot exceeding the minimum embedment depth and/or width, subject to a maximum of 2,500 psf. Allowable bearing pressures may be increased by one-third for short term loading due to wind or seismic forces.
(2) Footing depth is from lowest adjacent finished soil grade. Footings shall be deepened, as necessary, to provide setback distance from adjacent slope in conformance with CBC criteria.

(3) Value applies to level soil condition, and is subject to a maximum of 2000 psf.

Option 2 – Post-Tensioned Foundation:

If post-tensioned slab/footing system is selected for the subject project, the design may be based on the geotechnical criteria shown below for medium soil expansion potential. These are based on the guidelines presented in the PTI, Third Edition design manual.

Thornthwaite Moisture Index = -20
Equilibrium Suction = 3.6
Edge Lift Moisture Variation Distance, em = 5.1 feet
Edge Lift, ym = 1.1 inches
Center Lift Moisture Variation Distance, em = 9.0 feet
Center Lift, ym = 0.47 inches
Minimum Footing Depth (Exterior) = 18 inches below adjacent grade The above foundation criteria are based on medium soil expansion consideration only. Foundation design shall consider anticipated post-construction settlements, as appropriate. Foundation design details such as slab thickness, concrete strength, reinforcements, etc. shall be established by the Project Structural Engineer considering medium soil expansion and settlement potential provided below.

Mitigation Measure GEO-11: Foundation Settlement. Total static and differential post-construction settlements for footings designed and constructed in accordance with the criteria given below and supporting loads not exceeding the typical loadings for residential construction (column and wall loads on the order of 30 kips and 3 kips/lineal foot, respectively) are not anticipated to exceed the values shown below. The settlement estimates shall be confirmed based on review of the foundation plans. Structures shall be designed for the following post-construction settlements:
- Total settlement = 1 inch
- Differential settlement = ¾-inch (*)
(*) Between similarly loaded column footings and for continuous footings and slabs over a distance of approximately 30 feet.

General Remarks:
(i) Footing depths shall not be allowed to be affected adversely, such as through erosion softening, digging, landscaping, etc.
(ii) Where foundations encroach closer than five (5) feet horizontally from the flow line of drainage swales, the footing shall be deepened sufficiently to maintain the required embedment depth below the adjacent flow line. (iii) Foundation details such as concrete strength, reinforcements, etc. shall be established by the Project Structural Engineer, considering the loading and medium soil expansion potential. The footing and slab reinforcements recommended in the Geotechnical Report are minimum requirements. More restrictive criteria based on structural design considerations or Code requirements shall govern. (iv) Foundation excavations shall be observed and approved by the Project Geotechnical Engineer prior to the placement of reinforcement or concrete. Forming of footing excavations may be required. Excavations shall be free of slough and debris and thoroughly moisture conditioned prior to placing concrete. (v) Excavated material from footing and utility trenches shall not be placed in slab-on-grade areas unless properly compacted and tested.

concrete floor slab-on-grade. The moisture barrier shall be properly installed, lapped and sealed in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications.

Punctures and rips shall be repaired prior to placement of sand. At a minimum, this moisture/water vapor retarder shall consist of 10- millimeter thick polyethylene (“Visqueen”), lapped and sealed, and placed mid-height within a 4-inch coarse sand layer. This moisture/water vapor retarder shall be installed in accordance with manufacturer’s specifications. The following recommendations are based on the tentative guidelines by the American Concrete Institute (ACI, April 2001) to reduce the potential moisture/water vapor intrusion in concrete slab-on-grade. Based on Ginter & Associates’ review of available literature, it appears that the ACI procedure would be more effective to help reduce potential moisture/water vapor migration up through concrete slab-on-grade.

Recommendations based on the ACI guidelines are presented below:
• The moisture/water vapor retarder shall consist of high strength polyethylene membrane and shall meet or exceed the ASTM: E-1745-97 Class C material requirements for water vapor permeance, tensile strength and puncture resistance. The vapor retarder shall consist of “Moistop Plus” (Fortifiber Building Products Systems) or “Vapor Block” VB 15 (Americover, Inc.), or approved equal. The vapor retarder shall be underlain by a capillary break comprised of minimum 4 inches thick pea gravel layer. The gravel layer shall be placed and compacted on approved soil sub-grade.
• The membrane shall be placed on approved gravel layer and properly lapped and sealed. Membranes intersecting utility pipes, sewer lines, ducts or drains shall be properly wrapped around the penetrations and sealed. All punctures and rips in the membrane shall be repaired prior to placement of concrete, following manufacturer’s recommendations. The vapor retarder shall be installed in general accordance with the procedures outlined in ASTM: E-1643, and in conformance with the installation procedures recommended by the manufacturer.
• To minimize slab curling, a low slump concrete (low shrinkage mix design) shall be used for the slab construction, as determined by the Project Structural Engineer.

The moisture/water vapor protection for concrete slab-on-grade shall be selected based on cost and construction considerations, and considering potential future problems resulting from improper and uncontrolled landscape irrigation practices.

Regardless of the moisture/water vapor retarder option selected, it should be emphasized that proper control of irrigation and landscape water adjacent to the structure is of paramount importance.

Mitigation Measure GEO-13: Driveways. Driveway concrete slabs shall be 5 inches thick (minimum) with no. 3 bars at 18 inches on center, each way at mid-height. The slab may be placed directly on properly prepared sub-grade. No moisture barrier is required under driveway slabs.

Mitigation Measure GEO-17: Retaining Walls
• Foundations: Retaining wall foundations may be supported on either compacted engineered fill or competent bedrock. If a bedrock/fill transition is encountered, the bedrock portion shall be over- excavated minimum 2 feet and replaced with approved compacted fill. Alternatively, a cold joint shall be constructed in both the footing and the wall. Footings may be designed in accordance with the foundation design criteria presented in the Geotechnical Report when embedded at least two feet below lowest adjacent grade. Footings located on or at top of slopes shall be deepened, as necessary, to provide minimum lateral setback between footing and slope faces in accordance with CBC requirements.
• Lateral Earth Pressures: The earth pressures acting on retaining walls depend primarily on allowable wall movement, type of backfill materials, backfill slopes, wall inclination, surcharges, and any hydrostatic pressure.

The following lateral earth pressures are recommended for vertical walls with no hydrostatic pressure and no surcharge loading:

Wall Condition Backfill Type
Lateral Earth Pressure (Equivalent Fluid
Pressure) (pcf)
Level 2:1 (H:V)
Active (Cantilever) Sandy Soils 40 65
The surcharge effect of anticipated loads on the wall backfill (i.e. traffic, construction equipment, footings, etc.) shall be included in the wall design. If the wall is free to deflect, 33 percent of the maximum surcharge load located within a distance equal to the height of wall shall be used in the design. • Backfill: Retaining wall backfill shall consist of predominantly granular non-expansive soils. The backfill shall extend within a 45-degree plane from the wall footing. Retaining wall backfill shall be mechanically compacted to minimum 90 percent of the applicable laboratory maximum density and performed under the observation and testing of the Project Geotechnical Engineer. No jetting, ponding, or flooding shall be permitted. No backfill shall be placed against concrete until minimum design strengths are attained. • Backfill Drainage: The wall design shall include waterproofing and weep holes or sub-drains or back- drains, as appropriate, for relieving possible hydrostatic pressures. If on-site soils are utilized for wall backfill, the design shall include a prefabricated drainage blanket (such as Miradrain 2000, or equivalent). At a minimum, sub-drains shall consist of 4-inch diameter, perforated Schedule 40, PVC pipe or equivalent, embedded in approximately 3 cubic feet per lineal foot of ¾-inch (maximum) rock, or approved alternate. This permeable material shall be enveloped in Geofabric consisting of Mirafi 140 or equivalent. The pipe and trench bottom shall be sloped at a gradient of 2+ percent to a suitable discharge outlet. Sub-drains placed behind retaining walls shall be approved by the Project Geotechnical Engineer prior to backfill placement.

If utility lines are located within the zone of footings, the backfill shall be compacted to a minimum 95 percent relative compaction or slurry backfilled (minimum 1-1/2 sack cemented sand mix. • To reduce potential water migration into building sub- grade through the granular bedding/shading layer and/trench backfill, utility trenches shall be backfilled with the onsite finer grained materials or sand-cement slurry for minimum 3 feet length at their entry points. • Trenches in fill soils and alluvial deposits greater than 4 feet in depth shall be shored or sloped back as required by the local regulatory agency, the state of California Division of Industrial Safety Construction Safety Orders, and Federal OSHA requirements.

Mitigation Measure GEO-20: Asphalt Concrete Pavement. Preliminary asphalt concrete pavement sections for the planned streets in the development were developed utilizing the Caltrans method of design and the structural section design guide for California cities and counties. The following recommended pavement sections were computed assuming an “r” value of 30 for site soils compacted as sub-grade material, and assumed traffic indices. The actual “r” value will depend on the soil conditions exposed at the planned street sub-grade elevations. During rough grading, “r” value testing shall be performed on the pavement sub-grade soils to confirm the pavement design basis. Further analysis and evaluation are necessary if the design traffic index and the sub-grade “r” value are different from those used in Ginter & Associates’ analyses.

Mitigation Measure NS-9: Prior to approval of any grading permits that require blasting activities and a blasting permit, the Project Applicant shall prepare and submit for City review and approval of a Blasting Noise and Vibration Monitoring and Abatement Plan (“Noise and Vibration Abatement Plan”). At a minimum, the required Noise and Vibration Abatement Plan shall include the following:
• Specified blasting hours, restricting blasting only to Monday through Friday and only between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m.
• Conceptual blast designs. Conceptual blast designs shall be based on “scaled distance” criteria (i.e., defined as the distance in feet between a blast drill hole and the structure of concern, divided by the square root of the explosives loading per delay period in pounds-units in feet per pound1/2). The scaled distance chosen for the initial design should be supported by statistical analysis indicating the resulting ground vibration will be less than the criteria set for the Project. The scaled distance used for production blasts may be modified based on the results of the test blast(s) but should be conservative enough to produce vibration and airblast levels within the project specifications. It should be noted that the conceptual blast designs are general and will need to be modified during the project based on actual conditions encountered in the field and the results of site-specific blasting.
• Test Blasts. One or more test blasts shall be performed in an area outside of critical distance of residential structures or other improvements of concern; the critical distance shall based on the scaled distance calculations with a 10 percent distance increase.
• Controlled Blasting Techniques. Include techniques and procedures to control and monitor flyrock, airblast, and ground vibration:
 Flyrock mitigation measures may include: soil cover, leaving alluvial materials in place over materials to be blasted, and/or blast mats.
 Crushed rock (i.e., 3/8”) should be used for stemming materials  Drill cuttings are not acceptable.
 All stemming materials should be tamped in-place.
• The Blasting Noise and Vibration Abatement Plan shall include procedures for the submittal of blast reports and record keeping.
• The Blasting Noise and Vibration Abatement Plan shall outline safety measures and procedures to notify property owners that blasting will occur.
• If specified vibration limits are exceeded, the Noise and Vibration Abatement Plan shall require blasting operations to cease immediately, and a revised blasting plan shall be submitted to the City of Corona. Blasting shall not resume until a revised blasting plan has been reviewed and the Contractor has expressed in writing the conditions that will be applied to further blasting work. • Pre-Blast Survey Requirements. The following measures shall be specified in the Noise and Vibration Abatement Plan:

 Prior to the commencement of any blasting, a pre-blast survey of the conditions of all existing property and aboveground utilities located within 1500 feet of any potential blasting areas shall be conducted or as specified by the City of Corona, whichever is a lesser distance.  Prior to the commencement of any blasting, notification of neighbors withing 1,500 feet of the blasting area shall be made via first class mail or hand delivery of written notice.  The pre-blast survey shall be conducted by a third-party company with a minimum of five years of experience performing pre-blast and similar type surveys.  The pre-blast survey shall include a photographic record of all visible and accessible structures, facilities, utilities, or other improvements. If property owners refuse surveys, provide copies of certified mail letters documenting attempts to provide the survey.
 The required surveys shall include a description of the interior and exterior condition of the various structures examined. Descriptions shall include the locations of any cracks, damage, or other existing defects and shall include information needed to identify and describe the defect, if any, and to evaluate the construction operations on the defect. Survey records shall include photos of all cracks and other damaged, weathered, or otherwise deteriorated structural conditions. If necessary, macro lenses and flash illumination shall be used to ensure defects are shown clearly in the photographs. Photos shall contain an accurate date stamp. No blasting shall occur prior to the completion of surveys of surrounding residential properties.
 Surveys shall be repeated at facilities or properties where damage concerns have been expressed by individual residents, property owners, or other concerned parties. Details of any observed changes to surveyed structures and documenting photos shall be reported and submitted.

Project grading and blasting contractors shall be required to ensure compliance with the Blasting Noise and Vibration Abatement Plan requirements and shall permit periodic inspection of the construction site by City of Corona staff or its designee to confirm compliance. The requirements of the Blasting Noise and Vibration Abatement Plan shall also be specified in bid documents issued to prospective construction contractors. The City of Corona shall review all monitoring reports to ensure compliance with the Blasting Noise and Vibration Abatement Plan and shall have the authority to stop all blasting activities on site if it is determined that blasting activities are not being conducted in conformance with the Blasting Noise and Vibration Abatement Plan. Additionally, project grading and blasting contractors shall be required to ensure compliance with the Corona Fire Department publication, “Explosives, Blasting and Pyrotechnics Permit Guidelines per 2022 CFC,” dated December 5, 2023, and included as Technical Appendix L of Addendum No. 1 to the Skyline Heights Project Environmental Impact Report.

Proposed Parkland
o Public parks provided: 9.25
acres, dedicated to City
❖ Kite park
❖ Adventure park
❖ Dog park
Proposed public park dedication
exceeds required park area by

6.12 acres
Public Park Construction
o Construction of backbone streets
and the public (adventure) park
provided will commence as part of
the initial development of Phase 2
o Front loaded infrastructure costs
need to be offset by home sales
o 221st Building Permit = logical
extension of infrastructure and
phasing
o Future builder may decide to
accelerate park construction for
marketing purposes
HOA Park Construction
o The View Park (Lot E) is anticipated to be
constructed in conjunction with the adjacent
public dog park.
o Developer agrees to construct the 3 pocket
parks (Lots U, GG, and TT) and the passive
open space (Lot XX) prior to the 147th
building permit.
o Construction of pocket parks are incorporated
within overall construction, i.e. park
improvements are installed when the
adjacent homes are being constructed
o Constructing park improvements in concert
with the surrounding homes increases public
safety and deters vandalism
o Future builder may decide to accelerate park
construction for marketing purposes.

Parking
o A total of 94 parking stalls are provided at the
Adventure Park, includes additional visitor/bike parking ❖ On street parking (one side) on all local streets
within Skyline Heights
o Improvements within Adventure park = 3.39 acres
o For comparison, the 2.8-acre park in Sierra Bella
provides 24 parking spaces
o 68 additional stalls will reduce impact of bike parking in adjacent neighborhoods and along public streets while
allowing increased public access to the Skyline Trail.

Residents more likely to walk to the
park. The additional parking proposed is
a result of public outreach.

We are not only dedicating 9.25 acres of
public park (6.12 acres more than
required), but the conceptual park plan
has been approved by the Parks
Commission and is heavily programmed.

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBJECT:

REQUEST BY VICE MAYOR SPEAKE TO CONSIDER AMENDMENTS TO PEDDLERS

AND SOLICITORS REGULATIONS
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

Vice Mayor Speake’s future agenda item request asks the City Council to consider possible amendments to Corona Municipal Code (CMC) Chapter 5.34 (Solicitors), as well as other administrative changes to “reduce negative interactions at resident doorsteps and restore/reset the relationship between solicitors and residents.” RECOMMENDED ACTION:

That the City Council review, discuss, and provide direction on possible future amendments to Corona Municipal Code Chapter 5.34 (Solicitors), as well as other possible future administrative changes to Staff’s management and enforcement of solicitors.

BACKGROUND & HISTORY:

Vice Mayor Speake’s Future Agenda Item Request Form, which is attached hereto, addresses the following potential issues:

1. Clarification of “Solicitation” Definition (Section 5.34.020(B))

2. Strengthening “No Soliciting” Protections

3. Graduated Administrative Penalty Structure

4. Transparency and Field Verification of Solicitors

5. Permit Enforcement and Revocation Triggers

6. Do Not Solicit Registry – Adopt on a future Ledge policy

7. Public Education and Compliance Awareness
Each issue is addressed separately below.

ANALYSIS:

1. Lead Generators - Clarification of “Solicitation” Definition (Section

5.34.020(B))
VICE MAYOR SPEAKE REQUEST: Vice Mayor Speake requested the following, in order to clarify that the actions of “lead generators” are included in the definition of solicitation:
“Clarify that individuals who collect information for the purpose of connecting residents with third-party service providers (“lead generation”) are explicitly included within the definition of solicitation, regardless of whether a transaction occurs at the time of contact.” STAFF RESPONSE: Arguably, the definition below already includes such “lead generators” who typically will eventually entice or offer to make connections to service or product providers.

However, to make it abundantly clear, Staff can revise Section 5.34.020(B) as indicated below:
“5.34.020 Definitions.

Unless the particular provision of the context otherwise requires, the definitions and provisions contained in this section shall govern the construction, meaning, and application of words and phrases used in this chapter. Unless the context otherwise clearly indicates, words used in the singular include the plural and words used in the plural includes the singular.
. . . .
(B) "Solicit", "soliciting", or "solicitation" shall mean and include any request, offer, enticement, or action, by any person who is traveling by foot, vehicle or other type of conveyance from place to place or from door to door or at any temporary, and stationary location on public property, which: (1) announces the availability of services or for employment,; (2) announces the sale or exchange of goods or merchandise of any kind, or; (3) makes a request for funds or other property; or (4) collects information for the purpose of connecting

persons with providers of services, goods, or merchandise. As defined herein, a solicitation shall be deemed complete when made, whether or not services are provided, an actual employment relationship is created, a sales or exchange transaction is completed, or an exchange of money or other property takes place. The term solicit, soliciting, or solicitation shall not include "sidewalk vendor activities" as defined in § 5.35.020.”

2. Strengthening “No Soliciting” Protections
VICE MAYOR SPEAKE REQUEST: Vice Mayor Speake requested the following, in order to increase protections for those who clearly post their property with a sign with the following words or words of similar meaning : (1) "No Solicitors"; (2) "No Soliciting"; or (3) "No Trespassing":
“Evaluate whether approaching or attempting to solicit at a residence with a clearly posted “No Soliciting” notice should be defined as a distinct or enhanced violation under Chapter 5.34.”
STAFF RESPONSE: Section 5.34.160 (Aggressive soliciting) prohibits certain actions as “aggressive” solicitation, but approaching a “posted” location is not one of them. Council could consider including it as “aggressive” solicitation, and create a higher level of administrative fine for “aggressive” solicitation (see #3 below).

Accordingly, Council could consider revising Section 5.34.160 (Aggressive soliciting) as follows:
“5.34.160 Aggressive soliciting.

No solicitor shall engage in the following while soliciting or immediately thereafter:
(A) To ring the bell of, knock on the door of, attempt to gain admittance to, or otherwise call attention to his or her presence at any residence or business that has a sign posted pursuant to Section

5.34.110 (Sign posting).
(B) Coming closer than three feet to the person solicited, unless and until the person solicited indicates he or she consents or wishes to make a purchase or otherwise receive the solicitation. (C) Blocking or impeding the passage of the person solicited. (D) Repeating the solicitation after the person solicited has indicated his or her objection to the solicitation.

(E) Following the person solicited by proceeding behind, ahead, or alongside such person after the person has indicated his or her objection to the solicitation.
(F) Threatening the person solicited with physical harm by word, gesture, or other means.
(G) Abusing the person solicited with words which are offensive and inherently likely to provoke an immediate violent reaction. (H) Touching the solicited person without the solicited person's consent.”

3. Graduated Administrative Penalty Structure
VICE MAYOR SPEAKE REQUEST: Vice Mayor Speake requested the following, for a more enhanced administrative fine structure for violations of Corona Municipal Code (CMC) Chapter 5.34:
“Develop a clear, tiered administrative fine structure for violations of Chapter 5.34, including enhanced penalties for:
• Violations involving posted “No Soliciting” properties • Repeat offenses within a defined period
This would supplement existing misdemeanor authority and provide a more consistent enforcement tool.”
STAFF RESPONSE: For violations which are infractions, administrative fines are limited to $100 for the first offense, $200 for the second offense, and $500 for each offense thereafter in a 12-month period. Since violating Chapter 5.34 is a misdemeanor offense, the Council can consider higher administrative fines for violations of this Chapter.

Accordingly, Council could consider the following (as an example only – other amounts can be considered):

STANDARD VIOLATIONS OF CMC 5.34
(IN A 12-MONTH PERIOD)
1 st offense = $200
2 nd offense = $400
3 rd and after = $1,000

AGGRESSIVE SOLICITATION VIOLATIONS
(IN A 12-MONTH PERIOD)
1 st offense = $1,000
2 nd offense = $1,500

4. Transparency and Field Verification of Solicitors
VICE MAYOR SPEAKE REQUEST: Vice Mayor Speake requested the following, in order to more clearly identify properly permitted solicitors in the field:
“Evaluate options to improve visibility and disclosure requirements in the field, including:
• Clear identification of the solicitor and the business they represent
• Disclosure of applicable licensing status (e.g., contractor affiliation where required)
• Improved verification of existing permit and business license requirements
This builds on existing requirements but focuses on enforceability and resident awareness.”
STAFF RESPONSE: Staff is open to Council’s discussion and direction regarding this issue, including requiring permitted persons to wear a lanyard-style badge with noted information. For consistency, the badge or identification for all solicitors should look the same, with the same information, so it is clearly identifiable. This may require that the City issue this badge/identification to permitted solicitors. This would require staff time and materials costs to make the badge.

5. Permit Enforcement and Revocation Triggers
VICE MAYOR SPEAKE REQUEST: Vice Mayor Speake requested the following, in order to more clearly identify when permits can be revoked or suspended:
“Review and clarify enforcement triggers for suspension or revocation of solicitor permits, particularly in cases involving repeat violations or violations tied to posted “No Soliciting” properties.” STAFF RESPONSE: A permit can already be revoked for any violation of CMC 5.34.

However, to make it abundantly clear that an “aggressive” solicitor can have their permit revoked for just one violation, Staff can revise Section 5.34.090(A), as indicated below:
“5.34.090 Permit - Revocation, suspension.

(A) A solicitors permit issued under this chapter may be suspended or revoked by the Director for any of the following reasons:
(1) The permittee provided false, misleading or misrepresented information in the application for the solicitors permit. (2) The permittee fails at least three times in any twelve (12) month period to comply with the requirements, regulations, laws, and conditions of approval applicable to the solicitors permit, including, but not limited to, any provision of this chapter.
(3) Soliciting one or more times in violation of CMC 5.34.160 (Aggressive soliciting) in an unlawful manner or in such a manner as to constitute a breach of the peace or a menace to the health, safety, or general welfare of the public.”
(B) This section shall be self-executing, and the suspension or revocation of the solicitors permit shall be effective immediately. The Director shall give notice of the suspension or revocation of the solicitors permit at the permittee's last known address.
(C) When a permit has been revoked, no other permit shall be issued under the provisions of this chapter to the same permittee within one calendar year of the date of revocation.”

6. Do Not Solicit Registry – Adopt on a Future Legislative Policy VICE MAYOR SPEAKE REQUEST: Vice Mayor Speake requested the following, in order to establish a state-wide “Do Not Solicit Registry”:
“Recommend that the Council consider inclusion of a “Do Not Solicit” registry concept as part of its State Legislative Platform, and direct Staff to work with the City’s state legislative advocates and lobbying team to evaluate opportunities for enabling legislation, funding mechanisms, and a broader statewide framework.

Advocate through the City’s State Legislative Platform and local legislative representatives for enhanced education and outreach requirements for Home Improvement Salespersons (HIS) regarding local peddler and solicitor permitting requirements in City’s.

STAFF RESPONSE: This is a policy call for the City Council to consider.

7. Public Education and Compliance Awareness
VICE MAYOR SPEAKE REQUEST: Vice Mayor Speake requested the following, in order to increase public awareness and solicitor compliance:

“Develop a targeted public education and outreach strategy to:
 Inform residents of their rights under Chapter 5.34
 Reinforce solicitor obligations
 Coordinate with the California Contractors State License Board (CSLB) through a formal communication advising that the City of Corona maintains a local solicitor permitting process applicable to door-to-door activities include No Solicitors signage.

Improve compliance through resident awareness rather than enforcement.”
STAFF RESPONSE: This is a policy call for the City Council to consider. Public education and outreach may require advertised workshops and coordination with vendors and solicitors who have permits and those interested in soliciting in Corona. This would involve additional staff time to conduct public outreach and compliance awareness.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

There is minimal staff cost for CMC and admin fines revisions (#1, #2, #3, and #5).

Unknown costs for transparency/field verification, do not solicit registry, and public education campaigns (#4, #6, and #7).

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:

This action is exempt pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the Guidelines for the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), which states that a project is exempt from CEQA if the activity is covered by the common sense exemption that CEQA applies only 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 involves minor clarifying revisions to the CMC and public education efforts, which will not have a significant effect on the environment. Therefore, no environmental analysis is required.

Questions?

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, staff would evaluate and return with recommendations focused on the following targeted areas:

1. Clarification of “Solicitation” Definition
Clarify that individuals who collect information for the purpose of connecting residents with third-party service providers (“lead generation”) are explicitly included within the definition of solicitation, regardless of whether a transaction occurs at the time of contact.

2. Strengthening “No Soliciting” Protections
Evaluate attempting to solicit (knock at the door) at a residence with a clearly posted “No Soliciting” notice should be defined as a distinct or enhanced violation under Chapter

5.34. 3. Graduated Administrative Penalty Structure
Develop a clear, tiered administrative fine structure for violations of Chapter 5.34, including enhanced penalties for:
 Violations involving posted “No Soliciting” properties  Repeat offenses within a defined period
This would supplement existing misdemeanor authority and provide a more consistent enforcement tool.

4. Transparency and Field Verification of Solicitors
Evaluate options to improve visibility and disclosure requirements in the field, including:
 Clear identification of the solicitor and the business they represent  Disclosure of applicable licensing status (e.g., contractor affiliation where required)  Improved verification of existing permit and business license requirements This builds on existing requirements but focuses on enforceability and resident awareness.

5. Permit Enforcement and Revocation Triggers
Review and clarify enforcement triggers for suspension or revocation of solicitor permits, particularly in cases involving repeat violations or violations tied to posted “No Soliciting” properties.

6. Do Not Solicit Registry – Adopt on a future Ledge policy  Recommend that the Council consider inclusion of a “Do Not Solicit” registry concept as part of its State Legislative Platform, and direct staff to work with the City’s state legislative advocates and lobbying team to evaluate opportunities for enabling legislation, funding mechanisms, and a broader statewide framework.  Advocate through the City’s State Legislative Platform and local legislative representatives for enhanced education and outreach requirements for Home Improvement Salespersons (HIS) regarding local peddler and solicitor permitting requirements in City’s

7. Public Education and Compliance Awareness
Develop a targeted public education and outreach strategy to:
 Inform residents of their rights under Chapter 5.34
 Reinforce solicitor obligations
 Coordinate with the California Contractors State License Board (CSLB) through a formal communication advising that the City of Corona maintains a local solicitor permitting process applicable to door-to-door activities include No Solicitors signage  Improve compliance through awareness rather than solely enforcement

3. Does this request align with the City’s Strategic Plan? How?  Sense of Place / Quality of Life by protecting residential privacy, improving neighborhood experience, and reducing unwanted intrusions.

4. What is the desired timeline to have the issue considered by Council? If approved, staff should return based on workload and prioritization, with initial findings or recommendations aligned with upcoming policy discussions where feasible.

5. Is the issue urgent requiring action before the next priority setting session of Council (Fall Policy Workshop)?

BACKGROUND & HISTORY:

The League of California Cities (Cal 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, engage in timely presentations on critical issues facing local communities and take part in numerous opportunities for peerto-peer exchange with fellow city officials from across California.

Additionally, Cal Cities convenes a member-driven General Assembly, in which voting delegates debate and consider proposed resolutions that, if approved, become Cal Cities

policy. 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 2026 Annual Conference and Expo will take place September 23rd – 25th, 2026, in Anaheim, CA. This annual event provides city officials with opportunities for professional development, legislative updates, and networking with peers from across the state. Mayor Casillas, who currently serves as the Riverside County Division President, has requested approval 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 (FD_1110). Funding for this request is available in the Approved Fiscal Year 2027 Operating 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 Mayor Casillas’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.

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBJECT:

DESIGNATION OF VOTING DELEGATE FOR THE 2026 LEAGUE OF CALIFORNIA

CITIES ANNUAL CONFERENCE
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

This staff report requests that the City Council appoint a voting delegate for the upcoming League of California Cities Annual Conference. Designating a voting delegate will allow them to vote at the Annual Business Meeting.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

That the City Council designates a voting delegate, and up to two alternates, to represent the City of Corona at the 2026 League of California Cities Annual Conference.

BACKGROUND & HISTORY:

The League of California Cities Annual Conference is a valued tradition attended by Council and staff members from many California cities. The conference provides networking, advocacy, and educational programming that bring together elected and appointed officials, as well as city staff from all departmental areas, to serve the grassroots interests of local municipalities.

The conference concludes with the General Assembly vote at the Annual Business Meeting. Member cities participate in this process by registering their voting delegate to attend the annual conference and actively engaging in the voting process. The voting

delegate for the 2025 General Assembly was Mayor Jacque Casillas, and the alternate was Vice Mayor Wes Speake.

ANALYSIS:

The League of California Cities Annual Conference will be held from September 23, 2026, through September 25, 2026. The conference location generally alternates between northern and southern California, with the 2026 conference being held in Anaheim. The conference will include the Annual Business Meeting, where members take action on conference resolutions. Participation in the business meeting allows the City to engage in the League’s policy development process. The League bylaws provide that each City is entitled to one vote in matters affecting municipal or League policy.

To ensure the integrity of the voting process at the Annual Business Meeting, the designation of the voting delegate and alternates must be ratified by the City Council.

Specific voting procedures will be used at the conference. A copy of the 2026 Annual Conference General Assembly Voting Guidelines may be found in the attached Exhibit 1.

The Voting Delegate/Alternate Form, designating the City Council’s representation, will be completed and returned to the League office no later than September 1, 2026.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

There is no financial impact associated with this recommended action. Adequate funds for our City Officials’ attendance at the League Annual Conference are available in the Fiscal Year 2027 Budget.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:

This action is exempt pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the Guidelines for the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), which states that a project is exempt from CEQA if the activity is covered by the common sense exemption that CEQA applies only to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment.

TO: Mayors, Council Members, City Clerks, and City Managers RE: DESIGNATION OF VOTING DELEGATES AND ALTERNATES
League of California Cities Annual Conference and Expo, Sept. 23-25, 2026 Anaheim Convention Center
Every year, the League of California Cities convenes a member-driven General Assembly at the Cal Cities Annual Conference and Expo. The General Assembly is an important opportunity where city officials can directly participate in the development of Cal Cities policy.

Taking place on Friday, Sept. 25, 2026 the General Assembly is comprised of voting delegates appointed by each member city; every city has one voting delegate. Your appointed voting delegate plays an important role during the General Assembly by representing your city and voting on resolutions.

To cast a vote during the General Assembly, your city must designate a voting delegate and up to two alternate voting delegates, one of whom may vote if the designated voting delegate is unable to serve in that capacity. Voting delegates may either be an elected or appointed official.

Action by Council Required. Consistent with Cal Cities bylaws, a city’s voting delegate and up to two alternates must be designated by the city council. Please note that designating the voting delegate and alternates must be done by city council action and cannot be accomplished by individual action of the mayor or city manager alone.

Following council action, please submit your city’s delegates through the online submission portal by Tuesday, Sept. 1, 2026. When completing the Voting Delegate submission form, you will be asked to attest that council action was taken. You will need to be signed in to your My Cal Cities account when submitting the form.

Submitting your voting delegate form by the deadline will allow us time to establish voting delegate/alternate records prior to the conference and provide pre-conference communications with voting delegates.

Conference Registration Required. The voting delegate and alternates must be registered to attend the conference. They need not register for the entire conference; they may register for Friday only. Conference registration opens June 2.

For a city to cast a vote, one voter must be present at the General Assembly and in possession of the voting delegate card and voting tool. Voting delegates and Council Action Advised by September 1, 2026

alternates need to pick up their conference badges before signing in and picking up the voting delegate card at the voting delegate desk. This will enable them to receive the special sticker on their name badges that will admit the voting delegate into the voting area during the General Assembly.

Please view Cal Cities’ event and meeting policy in advance of the conference.

Transferring Voting Card to Non-Designated Individuals Not Allowed. The voting delegate card may be transferred freely between the voting delegate and alternates, but only between the voting delegate and alternates. If the voting delegate and alternates find themselves unable to attend the General Assembly, they may not transfer the voting card to another city official.

Seating Protocol during General Assembly. At the General Assembly, individuals with a voting card will sit in a designated area. Admission to the voting area will be limited to the individual in possession of the voting card and with a special sticker on their name badge identifying them as a voting delegate.

The voting delegate desk, located in the conference registration area of the Anaheim Convention Center, will be open at the following times: Wednesday, Sept. 23, 8:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m. and Thursday, Sept. 24, 7:30 a.m.-4:00 p.m. On Friday, Sept. 25, the voting delegate desk will be open at the General Assembly, starting at 7:30 a.m., but will be closed during roll calls and voting.

The voting procedures that will be used at the conference are attached to this memo.

Please share these procedures and this memo with your council and especially with the individuals that your council designates as your city’s voting delegate and alternates.

Once again, thank you for submitting your voting delegate and alternates by Tuesday, Sept. 1. If you have questions, please contact Zach Seals at [email protected].

1. One City One Vote. Each member city has a right to cast one vote on matters pertaining to Cal Cities policy.

2. Designating a City Voting Representative. Prior to the Cal Cities Annual Conference and Expo, each city council may designate a voting delegate and up to two alternates; these individuals are identified on the voting delegate form provided to the Cal Cities Credentials Committee.

3. Registering with the Credentials Committee. The voting delegate, or alternates, may pick up the city's voting card at the voting delegate desk in the conference registration area. Voting delegates and alternates must sign in at the voting delegate desk. Here they will receive a special sticker on their name badge and thus be admitted to the voting area at the General Assembly.

4. Signing Initiated Resolution Petitions. Only those individuals who are voting delegates (or alternates), and who have picked up their city’s voting card by providing a signature to the credentials committee at the voting delegate desk, may sign petitions to initiate a resolution.

5. Voting. To cast the city's vote, a city official must have in their possession the city's voting card and voting tool; and be registered with the credentials committee. The voting card may be transferred freely between the voting delegate and alternates but may not be transferred to another city official who is neither a voting delegate nor alternate.

6. Voting Area at General Assembly. At the General Assembly, individuals with a voting card will sit in a designated area. Admission to the voting area will be limited to the individual in possession of the voting card and with a special sticker on their name badge identifying them as a voting delegate.

7. Resolving Disputes. In case of dispute, the credentials committee will determine the validity of signatures on petitioned resolutions and the right of a city official to vote at the General Assembly.

Sixty days before the
Annual Conference
and Expo, Cal Cities
members may submit
policy proposals on
issues of importance
to cities. The resolution must
have the concurrence of at least
five additional member cities or
individual members.

How it works: Cal Cities
Resolutions and the General Assembly
General Assembly
General Resolutions Policy Committees
Developing League of California Cities policy is a dynamic process that engages a wide range of members to ensure Cal Cities represents cities with one voice. These policies directly guide Cal Cities’ advocacy to promote local decision-making, and lobby against statewide policies that erode local control.

The resolutions process and General Assembly is one way that city officials can directly participate in the development of Cal Cities policy. If a resolution is approved at the General Assembly, it becomes official Cal Cities policy. Here’s how resolutions and the General Assembly work.

The petitioned
resolution is an
alternate method
to introduce policy
proposals during
the annual conference. The
petition must be signed by
voting delegates from 10% of
member cities, and submitted to
the Cal Cities President at least
24 hours before the beginning
of the General Assembly.

Petitioned Resolutions
The Cal Cities
President assigns
general resolutions
to policy committees
where members
review, debate, and recommend
positions for each policy proposal.

Recommendations are forwarded
to the Resolutions Committee.

Who’s who
The Resolutions Committee
includes representatives
from each Cal Cities
diversity caucus, regional
division, municipal
department, and policy
committee, as well as
individuals appointed by
the Cal Cities president.

Voting delegates
are appointed by each
member city; every city
has one voting delegate.

The General Assembly is a
meeting of the collective
body of all voting
delegates —one from
every member city.

Seven policy committees
meet throughout the year
to review and recommend
positions to take on bills
and regulatory proposals.

Policy committees include
members from each Cal
Cities diversity caucus,
regional division, and
municipal department,
as well as individuals
appointed by the Cal
Cities president.

During the General Assembly, voting delegates
debate and consider general and petitioned
resolutions forwarded by the Resolutions
Committee. Potential Cal Cities bylaws
amendments are also considered at this meeting.

Cal Cities policy
development is a memberinformed process,
grounded in the voices and
experiences of city officials
throughout the state.

For more information visit www.calcities.org/general-assembly Prior to the Annual Conference and Expo
Resolutions Committee
The Resolutions
Committee considers
all resolutions. General
Resolutions approved1 by
either a policy committee
or the Resolutions Committee are next
considered by the General Assembly.

General resolutions not approved, or
referred for further study by both a
policy committee and the Resolutions
Committee do not go to the General
Assembly. All Petitioned Resolutions
are considered by the General
Assembly, unless disqualified.2
During the Annual Conference and Expo
1 The Resolution Committee can amend a general resolution prior to sending it to the General Assembly. 2 Petitioned Resolutions may be disqualified by the Resolutions Committee according to Cal Cities Bylaws Article VI. Sec. 5(f). Page 3613 of 3613
