The project’s objective is to replace 2,500 tons of AC overlay pavement, perform miscellaneous concrete work, and refurbish other appurtenances along Glendora Avenue between Puente Street and Ruddock Street. As a part of the project, the bidding contractors submitted Alternate Bid Item No. 1 to install 36-inch box parkway trees along the project area. The Alternate Bid was favorable and provides added value to the City in enhancing the public right-of-way and complements the beautification of the project area. Thus, City staff recommends proceeding with award of a contract inclusive of both the Base Bid and Alternate Bid Item No.1.

Following a public bidding process, it has been determined that the lowest responsive and responsible bidder for the project is Gentry Brothers, Inc. As such, it is recommended that a contract (Attachment A) be awarded for the Glendora Avenue Resurfacing Project – Project No. P2708 to Gentry Brothers, Inc. in the amount of $710,040 and authorize the City Manager to execute the contract. Construction improvements are expected to commence in November 2026.

DISCUSSION:

A Notice Inviting Bids was published in the San Gabriel Valley Examiner on Thursday, September 3rd, 2026, Thursday, September 10th, 2026, and Thursday, September 17th, 2026. Moreover, the Notice Inviting Bids was sent to the Dodge Construction Network “Green Sheets” for posting beginning on Thursday, September 3rd, 2026.

Sealed bids were accepted in the Office of the City Clerk until 10:00 am on Tuesday, September 22nd ,
2026. Beginning at 10:00 a.m. on September 22, 2026, the City Clerk publicly opened six (6) sealed bids with the following results:

Rank Bidder Location Base Bid Amount plus
Alternate Bid Item No. 1
1 Gentry Brothers, Inc. Irwindale, CA $710,040
2 Copp Contracting, Inc. Buena Park, CA $775,595.95
3 Sequel Contractors, Inc Santa Fe Springs, CA $800,744 4 Hardy & Harper, Inc. Lake Forest, CA $824,000
5 All American Asphalt Corona, CA $826,586
6 Onyx Paving Company, Inc. Anaheim, CA $832,000
City staff has reviewed all bid documents for compliance and evaluated the contractor’s professional background and recently completed projects for competency. As a result, City staff recommends an award of contract to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, Gentry Brothers, Inc., given that this firm has completed major road reconstruction projects for several public agencies in southern California including the City of Covina’s Street Residential Resurfacing Project, Barranca Avenue & Cienega Avenue Street Resurfacing Project, San Bernardino Road Resurfacing Project, and the Barranca Avenue and Covina Boulevard Resurfacing Project.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The Glendora Avenue Resurfacing Project – Project No. P2708 was included in the adopted Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Capital Improvement Program as shown below. Proposition C Funds for Alternate Bid Item #1 will be used in the amount of $41,250 (Alternative Bid Item #1 Amount + 10% Contingency) via the Tree Planting & Landscape Installation Project – City-Wide.

Project Meetings
CEJ will attend project meetings as required. We anticipate we will need to attend a total of 3 meetings (kickoff and 2 design meetings).

Quality Control Approach
The primary and most important fundamental aspects to the execution of any construction contract is the adherence to an established Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) plan. These QA/QC procedures are implemented from initial scoping through agency review and approval. The QA/QC manager, responsibilities will include the following:
 Review project scope, schedule, and budget after the kick-off meetings,  Review progress at critical stages of the project,
 Make technical suggestions,
 Provide management recommendations,
 Review deliverables prior to submission
Plans, Specifications and Estimate (PS&E)
Task 1- Project Administration and Coordination

AGENDA ITEM REPORT
ITEM NO. CC 14
Meeting: October 20, 2026
Title: Barranca Avenue Striping Modifications
Presented by: Rafael Fajardo, Director of Public Works/City Engineer Recommendation: Approve the proposed striping modifications to Barranca Avenue between Edna Place and Cypress Street.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY/BACKGROUND:

Barranca Avenue is 56-foot wide from curb-to-curb with two (2) lanes of traffic in both directions and a single, double-yellow centerline stripe between Edna Place and Cypress Street. Curbside parking is prohibited along the entire westerly side of the roadway from Edna Place to Cypress Street and at the corners of each intersection to allow for right-turn pockets. Following a resident request, City staff reviewed traffic conditions and developed proposed striping modifications to improve traffic flow and safety for further consideration by the Transportation and Mobility Commission. At its August 11th meeting, the Commission approved the proposed striping modifications and recommended that the City Council consider these modifications for approval.

DISCUSSION:

Proposed street striping modifications were prepared for Barranca Avenue (between Edna Place and Cypress Street) to add a center two-way left-turn lane to help improve traffic flow and traffic safety for left-turning vehicles in the area. The proposed striping revisions would provide new left-turn lanes on Barranca Avenue for the Senior Center and for Hurst Street. Further, the proposed modifications would improve traffic safety for adjacent residential/commercial uses in the vicinity.

Due to the roadway’s current width, curbside parking would need to be removed along the entire east side of Barranca Avenue, eliminating an estimated 16 existing curbside parking spaces. The City sent two (2) notices via direct mail and email to impacted business owners and apartment managers along the east side of Barranca Avenue requesting feedback regarding the proposed striping modifications and whether it would create any impact or undue hardships to the owners, customers or tenants. As of this date, City staff has received responses from four (4) of the twelve (12) respondents. Three (3) of the responses were favorable and one (1) response was not in favor of the modifications.

Moreover, at its August 11, 2026, meeting, the Transportation & Mobility Advisory Commission reviewed and made a recommendation for the City Council to approve the proposed striping modifications along Barranca Avenue between Edna Place and Cypress Street.

FISCAL IMPACT:

If approved, the striping modifications will be performed by the Public Works Department, Streets Maintenance Division staff. Though costs are nominal, sufficient funding for any additional materials required is available in the Public Works Department Operational Budget for the Streets Maintenance Division (Fund 10102200), approved as part of the Fiscal Year 2026-2027 city-wide budget.

Presented by: Rafael M. Fajardo, Director of Public Works/City Engineer Recommendation: 1. Accept the work performed by Titans Roofing Corporation; and

2. Authorize the City Clerk to file a Notice of Completion for the FY27 Covina Public Works Yard Roof Replacement Project.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY/BACKGROUND:

On August 18, 2026, the City Council awarded a contract to Titans Roofing Corporation in the amount of $71,969 for the replacement of various roof structures at the City Yard along with necessary ancillary repairs.

After a routine facility inspection of City facilities, three (3) roof structures were identified as substandard and in need of replacement: (1) the Water Division storage shop and (2) two Central Equipment / Fleet Division bays. The existing roofs over these buildings were original structures and, as such, had significantly deteriorated resulting in leaks, cracks and wood rot. These buildings contain employee breakrooms, restrooms and storage areas for essential equipment and supplies including heavy machinery, vehicles, fleet parts/inventory, traffic safety equipment, and concrete that are regularly accessed by City crews. Addressing these deficiencies in a timely manner was a high priority to prevent further deterioration and to further protect City assets.

The project has been completed in accordance with the approved scope of work and City staff recommends acceptance of the work performed by Titans Roofing Corporation as well as authorization for the City Clerk to file a Notice of Completion (Attachment A) for the Public Works Yard Roof Replacement Project.

DISCUSSION:

During project construction, the need for additional work was identified by the City. As a result, the City’s project manager reviewed and approved the below change order, increasing the total contract amount by $2,216:
 Change Order No. 1 – Increased total contract amount by $2,616 to repair wood and structural damage
FISCAL IMPACT:

Funding for this project was available in the Public Works Department Operational Budget, Building Maintenance Budget (Account No. 70206100-52400), approved as part of the Fiscal Year 2026-2027 city-wide budget and included $7,000 in contingency funds.

AGENDA ITEM REPORT
ITEM NO. CC 16
Meeting: October 20, 2026
Title: COPS Technology and Equipment Grant
Presented by: Ric Walczak, Chief of Police
Recommendation: 1. Approve Resolution CC 2026-118 accepting the 2026 COPS Technology and Equipment Grant award in the amount of $1,031,000 and amend the FY 2026-27 Police Revenue and Expenditure budget for the same amount; and

2. Authorized City Manager or his designee to sign all documents necessary to be in compliant with grant award.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

In 2025, the City submitted a community project funding request to U.S. Representative Cisneros for federal funds to support emergency dispatch operations and communications to support Covina and the greater eastern San Gabriel Valley. With Rep. Cisneros’ support, the City received a $1.031 million federal appropriation through the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (“COPS”), Fiscal Year 2026 Technology and Equipment Program to modernize aging public safety communications equipment and infrastructure used in public safety dispatch operations.

As proposed, the Council will consider accepting the federal appropriation and establishing a program revenue and expenditure budget for the implementation of program activities. Also importantly, the proposed communication system upgrades will help to enhance regional interoperability and facilitate the implementation of a Real Time Information Center (RTIC) adjacent to the Covina Police Department’s dispatch center. The RTIC will serve as a centralized, technology-driven hub that monitors, analyzes, and responds to emerging incidents in real time. By integrating live data streams and advanced analytical tools, the RTIC will enhance field operations and support first responders with timely, actionable information.

The RTIC's primary goals are to improve response times, strengthen situational awareness, increase officer and community safety, and leverage technology as a force multiplier in addressing crime and emergency events. The RTIC will be staffed by sworn personnel, dispatchers, and civilian analysts, enabling a continuous flow of intelligence to frontline units. This model aligns with best practices in contemporary policing and supports more informed decision-making during critical incidents.

BACKGROUND:

The Technology and Equipment program is administered by the U.S. Department of Justice Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (“COPS”). The program provides federal funding to support the development and procurement of law enforcement equipment, technology and communications systems to help improve police effectiveness, crime prevention and community policing. As part of the FY 2026 COPS program, the City received an appropriation of $1.031 million with the support of Rep.

Cisneros that must be implemented within two (2) years of notification.

The proposed action by the City Council will appropriate funds from this program and authorize the Police Department to move forward with implementation activities, including the procurement of

Page 665 of 774 ends

equipment and technology systems that support emergency dispatch operations and communications.

As planned, these systems will benefit the City and the greater east San Gabriel Valley. Further, this federal appropriation will complement broader planning efforts to implement a Real-time information center, which will enhance public safety response times, provide real-time monitoring of calls for service, enhance coordination during major events/emergency situations and streamline the deployment of resources.

DISCUSSION:

The City’s existing emergency dispatch systems are aging and rapidly approaching the end of their operational life. As a result, the Police Department has sought out external funding sources to help procure new equipment that will modernize communications systems and improve operational effectiveness. With the support of Rep. Cisneros, the City received a federal appropriation of $1.03 million under the COPS Technology and Equipment Program to procure new dispatch systems and technology components (CAD equipment, servers, radio equipment, etc.). Together, these system upgrades will modernize emergency communications systems, enhance regional dispatch efforts and support the implementation of a real-time information center. Key capabilities of the RTIC include:
 Real-time monitoring of calls for service, field activity, and intelligence sources  Rapid analysis and dissemination of information to officers responding to incidents  Integration of technologies such as cameras mapping systems, and data analytics tools  Enhanced coordination during major events, emergencies, and multi-agency responses  Improved outcomes through faster response, increased awareness, and more efficient deployment of resources
The RTIC represents a significant step forward in public safety service delivery and regional collaboration. It will enhance the effectiveness of frontline operations and improve the safety of both officers and residents.

To support the development and implementation of the Real-Time Intelligence Center and associated programs such as Drone as a First Responder (DFR), the following systems and infrastructure must be purchased, upgraded, or integrated:
• Upgrades to the Computer-Aided Dispatch (CAD) and Records Management Systems (RMS) • Replacement or enhancement of servers and network IT equipment • Implementation of 911 interface software to enable live streaming of emergency calls • GIS mapping systems and associated software
• New dispatch consoles and workstation equipment
• Data conversion services to migrate existing information into updated systems • Drone as a First Responder docking stations for automated deployment • Handheld and mobile police radios
• Real-time camera systems and supporting hardware
• Integration tools and platforms for drone first responder technology • Network and electrical infrastructure upgrades to support expanded data flow • Redesign and renovation of the RTIC workspace
As proposed, the City Council will consider appropriating federal funds for this purpose. With the Council’s authorization, the Police Department will move forward with implementation activities to procure equipment and technology systems for this purpose.

Page 666 of 774 ends

FISCAL IMPACT:

Adopting Resolution CC 2026-118 will accept the grant award and increase the Police Department FY 2026-27 revenue and expenditure budget by a total of $1,031,000. The funds will then be used to purchase the technology and equipment to build the RTIC. All funds spent up to $1,031,000 will be reimbursable though the 2026 COPS Technology and Equipment Grant.

Meeting: October 20, 2026
Title: Purchase Agreement/Purchase Order Authorization for One (1) New 2026 Toyota Camry LE, One (1) New 2026 Toyota Tacoma SR5, and One (1) New 2026 Toyota RAV4 LE, for the Covina Police Department Fleet
Presented by: Rafael M. Fajardo, Director of Public Works/City Engineer Recommendation: Authorize the City Manager to execute a Purchase Agreement/Purchase Order with Toyota of West Covina for the purchase of one (1) new 2026 Toyota Camry LE, and one (1) new 2026 Toyota Tacoma SR5 and Toyota of Claremont for one (1) new 2026 Toyota RAV4 LE for a total, combined not to exceed value of $113,518.79.

The Department of Public Works is responsible for maintaining the City of Covina’s fleet, including that of the Covina Police Department. The Public Works Central Equipment Division is requesting to retire two (2) 2016 Ford Taruses and one (1) 2013 Jeep Wrangler from the Covina Police Department fleet, and to procure three (3) new support vehicles as replacements. All three vehicles have met the retirement criteria for age and milage set forth by the Public Works Department’s Fleet Master Plan.

City staff is thus recommending for the City Council to authorize the City Manager to execute a Purchase Agreement/Purchase Order for the procurement of one (1) new 2026 Toyota Camry LE in the amount of $33,188.10, one (1) new 2026 Toyota Tacoma SR5 in the amount of $41,409.48, and one (1) new 2026 Toyota RAV4 LE in the amount of $38,921.21 for a total combined not to exceed value of $113,518.79.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

The Public Works Department’s Fleet Master Plan categorizes the City’s vehicles according to life cycle groups, which in turn dictates the vehicle’s replacement criteria. Classified as support vehicles, three (3) vehicles within the Covina Police Department fleet have been identified as eligible for retirement given that they are at least 10 years old and/or have exceeded 100,000 vehicle miles: Unit #D13 - 2016 Ford Tarus, Unit #D15 - 2016 Ford Tarus, and Unit #816 - 2013 Jeep Wrangler.

In addition to age and mileage, fleet vehicles are also assessed according to their maintenance frequency, availably/scarcity of parts, overutilization, and more. Routine retirement and replacement of these vehicles is a cost-effective strategy that allows the City to maintain the overall health of the fleet.

In accordance with the City’s Purchasing Policy, the Department of Public Works and Covina Police Department solicited the following three (3) quotes for each vehicle:
(1) 2026 Toyota Camry LE
The three (3) quotes received for the 2026 Toyota Camry LE resulted in the following:

Lee, AICP, Deputy City Manager/Director of Community Development Alice Leung, Management Analyst
Recommendation: 1. City Council to open the public hearing and consider public testimony and close the public hearing; and

2. Adopt Resolution CC 2026-109, authorizing the annexation of territory to Community Facilities District No. 2007-1 (Annexation No. 41) and authorizing the levy of a special tax and submitting the levy of tax to the qualified electors; and

3. Adopt Resolution CC 2026-110, calling a special election and submitting to the voters of Annexation No. 41 of City of Covina Community Facilities District No. 2007-1 (Public Services), propositions regarding the annual levy of special taxes within Annexation No. 41 to finance public services, and the establishment of an appropriations limit; and

4. Adopt Resolution CC 2026-111 making certain findings, certifying the results of an election and adding property to Community Facilities District No. 2007-1 (Public Services), Annexation No. 41.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

At the September 1, 2026, City Council meeting, the Council adopted the boundary map showing territory proposed to be annexed as Annexation No. 41, and declared its intention to authorize the annexation of that territory to Community Facilities District (CFD) No. 2007-1 (Public Services).

The purpose of the CFD is to finance the public safety and park services that are provided to the territory within the District beyond that provided by the City generally. In Fiscal Year 2026-2027, it has been determined that the cost of these services, for each new single-family residential unit, will be $917.52 per year. This program has been conceived with the intention that all future residential development, which results in a net increase of non-exempted residential units, would be required to annex to the CFD. The project at 136 West Center Street, Covina will have a total of four (4) new single-family residential units. The special tax will be applicable to (4) new single-family residential units in Annexation No. 41.

DISCUSSION:

The purpose of the public hearing is to 1) authorize the annexation of territory to the CFD (Annexation No. 41); 2) call and hold an election of property owners within the CFD, and 3) authorize the levy of a special tax within Annexation No. 41 to the CFD. The related resolutions are hereby presented to the City Council, pursuant to the Conditions of Approval for four (4) new single-family residential units to be built at 136 West Center Street, Covina, California.

Pursuant to the Conditions of Approval for development of a single-family development at 136 West Center Street, Covina, the applicant agreed to annex to the CFD, or to pay an in lieu fee based on the

Page 679 of 774 ends

financial impact on Police, Fire, Emergency, and Parks services. The builder opted to annex into the CFD. Under the proposed CFD, in Fiscal Year 2026-2027, any newly constructed, non-exempted single-family residential unit is charged $917.52 per year for the following services: police, fire protection and suppression, paramedic services, and park maintenance. This Special Tax appears on the annual Property Tax bill for each unit. The Special Tax authorized by the CFD shall be levied on all units for which building permits were issued on or before May 1 of the preceding fiscal year.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The “Special Tax” authorized by the proposed Community Facilities District (CFD) will generate $3,670.08 annually, based on four (4) new single-family residential units at the FY 2026-2027 tax rate of $917.52 per single-family unit and will be deposited to Account No. 2740-4800-45800. The Special Tax shall be used to pay for the following additional services in the District: police, fire protection and suppression, paramedic services, and park maintenance. The Special Tax will increase annually by the greater of two percent (2.00%), or the percentage change in the Consumer Price Index.

CEQA (CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT):

Staff has determined that the annexation of the does not constitute a “project” under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(4) because such annexation involves the creation of a government funding mechanism which does not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment.

Title: Consideration of Resolutions Authorizing Annexation of Territory to City of Covina Community Facilities District No. 2007-1 (Public Services) (Annexation No. 42), and to Call and Hold a Special Election (627 S. Fenimore Avenue, Covina) Presented by: Brian K. Lee, AICP, Deputy City Manager/Director of Community Development Alice Leung, Management Analyst
Recommendation: 1. City Council to open the public hearing and consider public testimony and close the public hearing; and

2. Adopt Resolution CC 2026-112, authorizing the annexation of territory to Community Facilities District No. 2007-1 (Annexation No. 42) and authorizing the levy of a special tax and submitting the levy of tax to the qualified electors; and

Adopt Resolution CC 2026-113, calling a special election and submitting to the voters of Annexation No. 42 of City of Covina Community Facilities District No. 2007-1 (Public Services), propositions regarding the annual levy of special taxes within Annexation No. 42 to finance public services, and the establishment of an appropriations limit; and

4. Adopt Resolution CC 2026-114 making certain findings, certifying the results of an election and adding property to Community Facilities District No. 2007-1 (Public Services), Annexation No. 42.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

At the September 1, 2026, City Council meeting, the Council adopted the boundary map showing territory proposed to be annexed as Annexation No. 42, and declared its intention to authorize the annexation of that territory to Community Facilities District (CFD) No. 2007-1 (Public Services).

The purpose of the CFD is to finance the public safety and park services that are provided to the territory within the District beyond that provided by the City generally. In Fiscal Year 2026-2027, it has been determined that the cost of these services, for each new single-family residential unit, will be $917.52 per year. This program has been conceived with the intention that all future residential development, which results in a net increase of non-exempted residential units, would be required to annex to the CFD. The project at 627 S. Fenimore Avenue, Covina will have a total of one (1) new two-story, singlefamily residential unit. The special tax will be applicable to one (1) new two-story, single-family residential unit in Annexation No. 42.

DISCUSSION:

The purpose of the public hearing is to 1) authorize the annexation of territory to the CFD (Annexation No. 42); 2) call and hold an election of property owners within the CFD, and 3) authorize the levy of a special tax within Annexation No. 42 to the CFD. The related resolutions are hereby presented to the City Council, pursuant to the Conditions of Approval for one (1) new two-story, single-family residential unit to be built at 627 S. Fenimore Avenue, Covina, California.

Pursuant to the Conditions of Approval for development of a single-family development at 627 S.

Fenimore Avenue, Covina, the applicant agreed to annex to the CFD, or to pay an in lieu fee based on

Page 711 of 774 ends

the financial impact on Police, Fire, Emergency, and Parks services. The builder opted to annex into the CFD. Under the proposed CFD, in Fiscal Year 2026-2027, any newly constructed, non-exempted single-family residential unit is charged $917.52 per year for the following services: police, fire protection and suppression, paramedic services, and park maintenance. This Special Tax appears on the annual Property Tax bill for each unit. The Special Tax authorized by the CFD shall be levied on all units for which building permits were issued on or before May 1 of the preceding fiscal year.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The “Special Tax” authorized by the proposed Community Facilities District (CFD) will generate $917.52 annually, based on one (1) new two-story, single-family residential unit at the FY 2026-2027 tax rate of $917.52 per single-family unit and will be deposited to Account No. 2740-4800-45800. The Special Tax shall be used to pay for the following additional services in the District: police, fire protection and suppression, paramedic services, and park maintenance. The Special Tax will increase annually by the greater of two percent (2.00%), or the percentage change in the Consumer Price Index.

CEQA (CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT):

Staff has determined that the annexation of the does not constitute a “project” under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(4) because such annexation involves the creation of a government funding mechanism which does not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

At the September 1, 2026, City Council meeting, the Council adopted the boundary map showing territory proposed to be annexed as Annexation No. 43, and declared its intention to authorize the annexation of that territory to Community Facilities District (CFD) No. 2007-1 (Public Services).

The purpose of the CFD is to finance the public safety and park services that are provided to the territory within the District beyond that provided by the City generally. In Fiscal Year 2026-2027, it has been determined that the cost of these services, for each new multi-family residential unit, will be $687.71 per year. This program has been conceived with the intention that all future residential development, which results in a net increase of non-exempted residential units, would be required to annex to the CFD. The project at 244 East College Street, Covina will have a total of three (3) multi-family residential units. The special tax will be applicable to three (3) multi-family residential units in Annexation No. 43.

DISCUSSION:

The purpose of the public hearing is to 1) authorize the annexation of territory to the CFD (Annexation No. 43); 2) call and hold an election of property owners within the CFD, and 3) authorize the levy of a special tax within Annexation No. 43 to the CFD. The related resolutions are hereby presented to the City Council, pursuant to the Conditions of Approval for three (3) multi-family residential units to be built at 244 East College Street, Covina, California.

Pursuant to the Conditions of Approval for development of a multi-family development at 244 East College Street, Covina, the applicant agreed to annex to the CFD, or to pay an in lieu fee based on the financial impact on Police, Fire, Emergency, and Parks services. The builder opted to annex into the

CFD. Under the proposed CFD, in Fiscal Year 2026-2027, any newly constructed, non-exempted multifamily residential unit is charged $687.71 per year for the following services: police, fire protection and suppression, paramedic services, and park maintenance. This Special Tax appears on the annual Property Tax bill for each unit. The Special Tax authorized by the CFD shall be levied on all units for which building permits were issued on or before May 1 of the preceding fiscal year.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The “Special Tax” authorized by the proposed Community Facilities District (CFD) will generate $2,063.13 annually, based on three (3) multi-family residential units at the FY 2026-2027 tax rate of $687.71 per single-family unit and will be deposited to Account No. 2740-4800-45800. The Special Tax shall be used to pay for the following additional services in the District: police, fire protection and suppression, paramedic services, and park maintenance. The Special Tax will increase annually by the greater of two percent (2.00%), or the percentage change in the Consumer Price Index.

CEQA (CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT):

Staff has determined that the annexation of the does not constitute a “project” under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(4) because such annexation involves the creation of a government funding mechanism which does not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment.

Respectfully submitted,
