City of Eastvale Crime Statistics - August 2023
Prepared By:

Eva Terekhova, Emergency Management Specialist
Recommended Action(s)
Staff recommends that the City Council receive and file the Eastvale Crime Sta s
cs for August
2023.

Summary
The City Council requested staff to collaborate with the Riverside County Sheriff's Department to develop a crime sta
s
cs document that would reflect selected Part I and Part II crime data for the City of Eastvale. Intended to show month-to-month crime sta s
cs, the document will assist in
determining appropriate staffing levels for law enforcement services.

Background
In May 2017, City Council directed staff to coordinate with the Riverside County Sheriff's Department to request and obtain monthly crime sta
s
cs for the City of Eastvale. The primary
intent of the request was to determine appropriate staffing levels during the City's contract nego
a
ons with the Sheriff's Department. Over several weeks, the city manager and staff worked collabora
vely with Riverside County Sheriff's Department administra on and management to
obtain crime statistics that could be shared with the public on a regular basis.

Upon receiving the data, the Riverside County Sheriff's Department advised staff that the data provided would be reflec
ve of the previous month, or thirty days behind the current month; and that the report would need to include a disclaimer identifying the data as preliminary and raw.

At the July 26, 2017 mee
ng, City Council recommended that staff add columns reflec ve of felony
and misdemeanor arrests. During the September 26, 2017 mee ng, City Council recommended staff
add traffic viola
ons/cita
ons data and the total calls for service broken down per month. Crime 12363 Limonite Avenue | Suite 910 | Eastvale, CA 91752

Approve Comparable Agencies List for Use in Classifica.on and Compensation Study
Prepared By:

Maricela Mejia, Deputy HR & Risk Management Director
Recommended Action(s)
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the list of comparable agencies for use in the classification and compensation study.

Summary
The City of Eastvale is undergoing a Classifica%on & Compensa%on Study to ensure that our City remains compe%%ve in a&rac%ng and retaining qualified employees, as well as maintaining equitable and internally consistent job classifica%ons and compensa%on structures. Public Sector Personnel Consultants has been retained to conduct this study. In order to con%nue the process, staff is reques%ng the City Council establish a list of appropriate comparator agencies. This is a crucial step in conducting an accurate and meaningful study.

Background
The last classifica%on and compensa%on study conducted by the city was adopted in 2017. At that %me, the agency had a primarily contracted workforce and the organiza%onal structure was less complex than it is today. During that study, it was determined that the comparator agency list should consist of the following agencies:
• City of Ontario;
• City of Rancho Cucamonga;
• City of Riverside;
• City of Chino Hills;
12363 Limonite Avenue | Suite 910 | Eastvale, CA 91752
951.361.0900 | eastvaleca.gov
222
• City of Corona; and
• City of Perris
Since then, there have been many changes to the organiza%onal structure and dynamics of the City, it is cri%cal to analyze whether these agencies are s%ll appropriate comparators. Once the comparator agencies are iden%fied, a thorough analysis will be conducted to gather data on their job classifica%ons, job descrip%ons, and compensa%on structures. This informa%on will be used to establish a clear understanding of the market standards and trends.

The recommended comparator agencies consist of the following agencies:
• City of Norco;
• City of Chino;
• City of Ontario;
• City of Jurupa Valley;
• City of Corona;
• City of Chino Hills;
• City of Montclair;
• City of Riverside;
• City of Ranch Cucamonga;
• City of Upland;
• City of La Verne;
• City of Colton;
• City of Grand Terrace; and
• City of Loma Linda;
These agencies are proposed as comparator agencies because they are where we recruit people from, where we lose people to, and they have similar jobs to our own agency. In addi%on, many of them offer similar services and have similar important factors such as popula%on and cost of living.

It is important to have a mix of agencies and jobs to get a wide sampling of the market data.

A&achment 1- Proposed Comparable Agency List includes a comparison of the proposed agencies with the City of Eastvale.

Fiscal Impact
Selec%on of a comparator agency list will not have a direct fiscal impact, however the selec%on of the comparator agencies will affect the results of the compensa%on study. City Council s%ll retains the authority to adopt the rate of pay and benefits that employees will receive. Overall, the costs related to the Classifica%on and Compensa%on study is part of the professional services agreement approved by the City Council on August 23, 2023 and adequate budget was included in the fiscal year 2023-24 operating budget.

Approval of Resolu,on Adop,ng the City of Eastvale 2023 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
Prepared By:

Eva Terekhova, Emergency Management Specialist
Recommended Action(s)
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a Resolu
on Adop
ng the 2023 City of Eastvale Local
Hazard Mitigation Plan.

Summary
The City of Eastvale has concluded a 5-year update to the 2023 City of Eastvale Local Hazard Mi
ga
on Plan (LHMP) Annex to the County of Riverside Opera
onal Area Mul
-Jurisdic
onal Local
Hazard Mi
ga
on Plan 2023. The plan was reviewed by the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) and approved by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) pending City Council adop
on. The intent of the plan is to iden
fy, reduce, or remove long-term risk
and protect people and property from the effects of natural and man-made hazards, such as earthquake, fire, and flood. Under the Disaster Mi
ga
on Act of 2000 (Public Law 106-390), State,
Local, and Tribal governments are required to develop a hazard mi ga
on plan to be eligible for
certain federal disaster assistance. The adopted plan will be in effect until April 18, 2028.

Background
The City of Eastvale’s Local Hazard Mi
ga
on Plan was prepared in 2012 pursuant to the
requirements of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (Stafford Act), as amended by Sec
on 322 of the Disaster Mi
ga
on Act of 2000 and the 44 Code of Federal
Regula
ons (CFR) Part 201 – Mi
ga
on Planning. The plan was subsequently updated in 2018. The City of Eastvale’s goals are to develop and maintain an all-inclusive plan to include surrounding jurisdic
ons, special districts, businesses, and community organiza ons, and to consider all
12363 Limonite Avenue | Suite 910 | Eastvale, CA 91752
951.361.0900 | eastvaleca.gov
226
impacted individuals and the environment. The City’s LHMP is con nually being adjusted to reflect
growth, iden
fy any addi
onal hazards, and seek poten
al grant funding to assist with mi
ga
on
strategies. Hazard mi
ga
on is the only phase of emergency management specifically dedicated to breaking the cycle of damage, reconstruc
on, and repeated damage. The planning process is as

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this local hazard mitigation plan is to identify the City’s hazards, review and assess past disaster occurrences, estimate the probability of future occurrences, and set goals to mitigate potential risks to reduce or eliminate long-term risk to people, property, and the environment from natural and man-made hazards.

The plan was prepared pursuant to the requirements of the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 to achieve eligibility and potentially secure mitigation funding through Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Flood Mitigation Assistance, Pre-Disaster Mitigation, and Hazard Mitigation Grant Programs.

The City of Eastvale’s continual efforts to maintain a disaster-mitigation strategy are ongoing. The City’s goal is to develop and maintain an all-inclusive plan that considers current and future hazards and all impacted residents, businesses, and the environment.

The City’s planning process followed a methodology presented by FEMA and Cal OES which included conducting meetings with the Operational Area Planning Committee (OAPC) coordinated by Riverside County Emergency Management Department (EMD) comprised of participating Federal, State, and local jurisdictions, agencies, special districts, school districts, businesses, tribes, and the general public. The City promoted public involvement in the LHMP through outreach during public meetings and events, City website updates, meetings with local business members, and City Council and Public Safety Commission updates.

The plan identifies vulnerabilities, provides recommendations for prioritized mitigation actions, evaluates resources, identifies mitigation shortcomings, and provides future mitigation planning and maintenance of the existing plan.

The plan will be implemented upon FEMA approval and adoption by the Eastvale City Council. 235

1.2GEOGRAPHY AND CLIMATE DESCRIPTION
Eastvale is located in western Riverside County near the junction of the 91 Freeway and Interstate 15, about 50 miles south and east of Los Angeles. Nearby cities include Norco (4 miles), Corona (4 miles), Jurupa Valley (5.1 miles), Ontario (9.8 miles), Chino (10.8 miles), and Riverside (11.4 miles).

The geography of Eastvale is a mostly flat area of former dairy land with silt and sand soil. The Santa Ana River follows along the City’s southern border, below its river bluff. The Prado Dam is on the Santa Ana River just south of Eastvale boundaries. The northern and western sides of the city are bordered by the San Bernardino/Riverside County line. Interstate 15 creates the eastern border of Eastvale. Eastvale is located in the Chino Groundwater Basin area.

The climate in Eastvale is Hot-Summer Mediterranean with hot, dry summers and mild, relatively wet winters. Hot spells in the summer may exceed 100 degrees Fahrenheit with low humidity and winter temperatures rarely drop below 40 degrees.

Projected future changes to the highs and lows can be seen on the California Heat Assessment Tool at https://www.calheat.org/. While the projections on cal-heat.org show that Eastvale is not affected to the degree other Southern California areas are, the surrounding areas are projected to get hotter and more arid with time and this could affect the city.

1.3BRIEF HISTORY
Eastvale is one of the newest cities in Western Riverside County. Eastvale was incorporated on October 1, 2010, and has a growing population of over 69,929 residents. Eastvale is 13.2 square miles strategically poised between Interstate 15 and California State Routes 91, 60, and 71, making access easy for residents, visitors, and businesses alike. Residents and visitors find the proximity of Ontario International Airport to be a metropolitan advantage yet enjoy the small-town, neighborly charm of our young community.

City of Eastvale │ 12363 Limonite Avenue, Suite 910, Eastvale, CA 91752 │ (951) 361-0900 │eastvaleca.gov 3 Eastvale’s history is tied to that of its neighbors—Corona, Norco, Chino, Jurupa Valley, and Ontario. For at least the last 176 years, the land was used for farming and the dairy industry.

Today, Eastvale is still tied to Corona and Norco as a member of the Corona-Norco Unified School District and shares a zip code with the City of Corona, 92880, and with the previously unincorporated area known as Mira Loma, 91752. Until
incorporation, Eastvale was a community residing in an
unincorporated area of Western Riverside County. Many
residents incorrectly believed that since they received their mail from the Corona Post Office and shared the zip code with Corona, they were indeed residents of the City of Corona. The same was true for residents living in the area serviced by the Mira Loma Post Office. This was not the case. Now, Eastvale is independent and free to chart its future.

1.4 ECONOMY DESCRIPTION
The City of Eastvale is a relatively new city in Western Riverside County. The City of Eastvale was incorporated on October 1, 2010, and has an ever-growing population of over 69,929 residents.

The City of Eastvale is adjacent to Orange County and boasts the highest median household income in Riverside County (source: US Census data). Eastvale offers a diverse choice of housing options with most of the nation’s top ten residential developers choosing Eastvale for new housing starts.

Eastvale is mostly within the Corona-Norco Unified School District (CNUSD) boundaries. CNUSD is the largest school district in Riverside County and the largest school district in the State of California. The elementary schools in Eastvale are multi-track year-round schools. The City of Eastvale has five elementary schools (three of which are California Distinguished Schools), two intermediate schools, and one high school. A small portion of Eastvale is serviced by the Jurupa Unified School District; however, no Jurupa Unified School District schools are within the City’s boundaries.

The landscape of the community has changed over the years from a former dairy enclave to a diverse, well-appointed community with highly desired amenities. With our newly constructed, modern, award-winning schools and thirteen beautiful parks, Eastvale stands as the premiere location to raise a family and enjoy business success. The variety of surrounding communities provides for a diversified consumer base and a culturally enriched experience.

The City of Eastvale recognizes that a strong and healthy local economy is one of the most important funding mechanisms in providing essential services and amenities to meet the current and future needs of the city.

1.5 POPULATION AND HOUSING
Figure 3 Population Statistics

1.6BRIEF STATEMENT OF UNIQUE HAZARDS
The most prominent hazards faced by residents of the City of Eastvale are a major earthquake, flooding potential from larger than 100-year storm events in winter months along the Santa Ana riverbank, and windstorms causing power outages. A longterm power outage in summer months could produce lifethreatening extreme heat conditions for residents without access to air conditioning. The City of Eastvale could also be impacted by terrorism or bioterrorism that initially targets the Ontario or Chino Airports and then spreads the impact to surrounding communities. Another pandemic event is also a likely occurrence.

Riverside County has experienced severe flooding many times throughout its history, resulting in the loss of lives and millions of dollars in property damage. Floods are caused by rivers and creeks overrunning their banks, and most property damage has occurred where development has been allowed without regard for flood hazards.

In the developed areas of Eastvale, flood control facilities are in place that will protect homes and businesses from flooding.

Inundation areas are also in place in areas throughout the City, focused near Hellman and Chandler, to help in storm events greater than the 500-year storm event that could result in flooding due to the Prado Dam.

Earthquake risk in Eastvale is “relatively high” to “very high”.

No known fault zones run through the City, but two of
California’s most active faults: the San Andreas and San Jacinto are in close proximity to the City.
241
City of Eastvale Local Hazard Mitigation Plan 2023
City of Eastvale │ 12363 Limonite Avenue, Suite 910, Eastvale, CA 91752 │ (951) 361-0900 │eastvaleca.gov 5 Most of the loss of life and injuries from earthquakes are due to damage and collapse of buildings and structures. Building codes have been made more stringent following damaging
earthquakes. Because most of Eastvale was built after 1990, problems which exist in other parts of Riverside County related to older buildings are either nonexistent or very limited in the city.

The portion of Eastvale near the Santa Ana River has been identified as having a moderate susceptibility to wildfire, due to the presence of wild vegetation along the river.

Wildland fires which occur while Santa Ana winds are present constitute a worst-case fire suppression scenario. Because of dry vegetation conditions and Santa Ana winds, the fire danger for Riverside County is considered extremely high for 25% of each year. Therefore, there is a statistically significant chance that this worst-case fire suppression scenario could occur.

Unique hazards that have impacted the City of Eastvale:
• High winds reaching up to 65mph affect the community
but have not yet caused catastrophic damage.
• Significant rainfall affected the State of California and the City of Eastvale during the February 2019 storm
season to which there was a Presidential Declaration in May 2019.

While the City of Eastvale does not possess an abundance of natural hazards, the city is not immune. As a relatively new City, Eastvale does not yet own much of the critical infrastructure within our jurisdiction, such as schools, community center, parks, or libraries. With the exception of the schools, these entities are owned and operated by Jurupa Community
Services District. The city does own the newest Fire Station, and it has been built to standard. We do not have or own a City Hall and currently rent retail space to conduct daily operations. Our land is mostly flat and does not typically cause catastrophic flooding nor do we have an airport within City limits.

1.7DEVELOPMENT TRENDS AND LAND USE
Since the last approved plan, there have been 16 industrial warehouse buildings, and 625 residential units built or planned.

This new development will increase the overall vulnerability in the event of a magnitude 6.5 or greater earthquake due to the ground movement and potential damages to buildings. There have been no other developments or planned developments in hazard prone areas that would increase or decrease the City’s overall vulnerability. New developments were not built in flood hazard zones or fire zones but could increase the susceptibility to both due to the decrease of permeable surfaces and drought conditions leading to higher fire and flood frequency.
242
City of Eastvale Local Hazard Mitigation Plan 2023
City of Eastvale │ 12363 Limonite Avenue, Suite 910, Eastvale, CA 91752 │ (951) 361-0900 │eastvaleca.gov 6 As of today, it is estimated that approximately 93% of the City’s residential areas have already been built and much of the remaining industrial and commercial land is under
construction. With even a modest rebound in the current pace of growth in the regional economy and non-residential
development in Eastvale, the build-out of Eastvale the city could easily occur in the next decade. Eastvale, therefore, finds itself approaching a change in emphasis from the construction of new homes and businesses to maintaining these uses and the systems that support them.

As this occurs, the City’s focus will shift from being primarily centered on the quality of new development to ensuring that the developed neighborhoods, retail centers, and industrial areas remain desirable and able to compete with newer
neighborhoods in other cities. This will involve watching demographic and economic trends that will affect the types of homes that families will want to buy and live in (and whether they want to buy or rent), how they will want to shop, what businesses want, and what types of jobs are needed, and adjusting land use and other policies as needed.

2.1 LOCAL PLANNING PROCESS
The overall approach to the City of Eastvale’s Local Hazard Mitigation Plan was to develop an understanding of the natural hazards to the city and determine ways to reduce those risks and prioritize and outline potential mitigation strategies.

To complete these objectives, the City of Eastvale’s Community Safety Department coordinated and collaborated with City departments, local agencies, neighboring communities, and other stakeholders. During the process, staff participated in Operational Area Planning Committee meetings and workshops where the Local Hazard Mitigation Plan process was discussed with multiple agencies throughout Riverside County.

The 2023 update to the city’s LHMP was undertaken and
prepared in accordance with FEMA standards and 44 CFR
§201.6(d)(3). In mid-2022, staff from the Community Safety Department began the informal process of the five-year update of the LHMP. Department-level contacts and personnel from City departments were identified for participation in the update process. Concurrently, a more in-depth review of the existing plan was undertaken to identify areas of update and areas needing improvement or additional shoring. Several outdated metrics and maps were immediately identified and added to the update task list.

On November 7, 2022, the City’s Emergency Management
Specialist sent an email to all City department heads, the Cal Fire/Riverside County Fire Division Chief, the Jurupa
Community Services District Safety & Emergency Response Officer, and the City’s Riverside County Emergency
Management Department Emergency Services Coordinator
with an invitation to an upcoming LHMP meeting, the 2018 LHMP, a summary of policy changes, and an explanation of the update.

On December 13, 2022, the City’s Emergency Management
Specialist hosted the formal LHMP Planning Meeting.

Attendees included the LHMP Planning Team comprised of City departments and divisions as well as staff from the Riverside County Emergency Management Department Planning section (see Table 1). This meeting served to reintroduce the LHMP and outline the List of Duties by Department, expectations, and project deadlines.

Shortly after the LHMP Planning Meeting, each chapter and section of the plan was dissected and assigned to an
appropriate City department staff member. The departmental revisions were then added to the revised draft.

City staff continued to collaborate to review hazards, conduct risk assessment/analysis for each hazard, and identify and outline possible mitigation strategies. Discussions also included an updated history of disasters, mitigation efforts, and a ranking of local hazards. These meetings included discussion of municipal laws and the upcoming adoption of building codes, as related to hazard mitigation.

As sections were finalized and established thresholds met, the draft revision of the LHMP update was readied for public release and discussion.

2.2 PARTICIPATION IN THE REGIONAL (OA)

PLANNING PROCESS
The City of Eastvale participated in the Regional LHMP planning process with the Riverside County Operational Area (OA) by attending LHMP meetings and public hearings.

The City of Eastvale participated in Riverside County
workshops, conferences, and meetings, including:
• On May 5, 2022, Riverside County Emergency
Management Department reached out to the City of
Eastvale to request a formal letter of commitment
to participate in the County update.
• On June 13, 2022, the City of Eastvale received an
invitation to participate in the Riverside County
