City of Eastvale Crime Statistics – July 2024
Prepared By:
Johnny Terfehr, Community Safety Director
Recommended Action(s)
Staff recommends that the City Council receive and file the Eastvale Crime Statistics for July 2024.
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 iden%fying 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.

City Council Meeting
CONSENT CALENDAR
Agenda Item No. 11.8
September 25, 2024
Award of Contracts for On-Call Consul-ng for Community Safety Department Services
Prepared By:
Richard Hicks, Building Official
Recommended Action(s)
Staff recommends that the City Council:
1 .
Approve the recommended consultants to provide on-call professional services to the City as needed; and
2 .
Authorize the City Manager to execute agreements and any necessary documents for on-call professional services with the recommended consultants for one (1) three-year period with the ability to renew for two (2) one-year extensions in the amount not-to-exceed $1,018,600.00 per contract.
Summary
The Community Safety Department u1lizes on-call vendors for building safety services such as plan checks, inspec1ons, and staffing. To ensure the pricing of on-call vendors is in alignment with the user fee schedule and valua1on-based permit fee structure approved in January 2024, the Community Safety Department issued a request for proposals (RFP) for on-call building safety services.
The following firms were selected by City staff based on the exper1se and experience of the firm and the proposed personnel outlined in the submi:ed proposals as well as on compliance with RFP requirements. Staff recommends entering into agreements for on-call professional consul1ng services with the following firms: BPR Consul1ng Group, JAS Pacific, True North, VCA Code, and 12363 Limonite Avenue | Suite 910 | Eastvale, CA 91752 951.361.0900 |
eastvaleca.gov
409
Willdan.
If approved, the City will enter into three-year agreements with the selected vendors for an amount not to exceed $1,018,600.00 per agreement. Each agreement will also provide the op1on to extend the term two 1mes for one addi1onal year each 1me, resul1ng in a poten1al term total of five years.
Background
In 2021, the city procured Willdan Financial Services to create a new cost alloca1on plan and a comprehensive user fee study. On January 24, 2024, the City Council adopted a new user fee schedule based on the findings of the user fee study. The user fee study analysis included reviewing Building Safety fixed fee services and the deposit-based permit fee structure.
To assess fixed fee services, Willdan Financial Services reviewed the total cost of each service based on the fully burdened hourly rates for city personnel and overhead costs directly involved in providing services. Based on this assessment, Willdan Financial Services in coordina1on with staff recommended that the building division fee structure transi1on from deposit-based to valua1on- based fixed fees. This method is an industry standard widely used by government jurisdic1ons to evaluate the cost of providing services, where types of projects and project sizes can vary greatly.
The Community Safety Department provides many building safety services for the city, some of which utilize contracted on-call consultants.
Currently, we u1lize Interwest, BPR Consul1ng Group, Willdan, and VCA Code as our current consultants for on-call plan check services and staffing. Based on the previous user fee model, on- call vendors would bill hourly, which would be charged against the deposit accounts. If we con1nue with the hourly charge, the city may pay out more fees to the vendors than are collected based on the current city user fee schedule. Vendors will charge a fixed percentage for building plan review services based on the current user fee schedule. On June 6, 2024, the city issued a request-for- proposal to procure vendors based on the city’s new user fee schedule.
The RFP returned proposals from 12 qualified firms. The city staff evaluated the proposals based on exper1se, experience, training, prior contrac1ng history of the firm, personnel exper1se, compliance with the RFP, and reasonableness of cost and price. Staff independently rated each firm and iden1fied five top candidates for recommenda1on: BPR Consul1ng Group, JAS Pacific, True North, VCA Code, and Willdan. If awarded, each selected on-call firm will enter into a three-year agreement with the City for an amount not to exceed $1,018,600.00 per agreement. The agreements also allow extending the three-year term with two one-year extensions, resul1ng in a poten1al term total of five years. Establishing these contracts will con1nue to support the City’s ability to expand plan review and inspec1on abili1es to support an1cipated large projects. While execu1ng an on-call contract with the city does not guarantee that a consul1ng firm will receive work during the on-call period, staff intends to spread the work amongst the firms and award specific projects to firms that are best suited to complete the specific type of project while providing the city with the most flexible options to move forward with a project.
Environmental
Approval of the proposed contracts is not a project pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and no environmental review is required.

Strategic Plan Action - Priority Level: N/A
| Target #: G
| Goal #: E
Right-size the organiza1on and staffing consistent with City services, needs, expecta1ons, and strategic plan priorities.
Ensure that customer service levels are Exceeding Eastvale's Expectations Everyday Fiscal Impact
There is no expected fiscal impact to the City as the City has adopted a full cost recovery fee schedule. Funding for on-call services provided in fiscal year 2024-2025 are budgeted in account 100-310-6432 in the amount of $953,600 and account 100-310-6433 in the amount of $65,000 for a total budgeted amount of $1,018,600 for fiscal year 2024-2025. On-call services provided during fiscal year 2024-2025 will not exceed the total budgeted amount.
The master contracts do not guarantee work to any of the on-call consultants. The city will authorize work as needed through purchase orders, subject to funding and budget availability.
Prior City Council/Commission Action
On December 14, 2022, the City Council awarded on-call contracts to BPR Consul1ng Group, Willdan, and VCA Code for Building Safety, Engineering, plan-check, and other City services.
On January 24, 2024, the City Council adopted a new user fee schedule.

Background
Eastvale is a young and dynamic community in Western Riverside County. We are the most northwest City in Riverside County and are surrounded by the Cities of Chino and Ontario in San Bernardino County on the west and north and the Riverside County cities of Jurupa Valley, Norco, and Corona on the east and south. Eastvale is a 13.1 square mile, General Law City incorporated on October 1, 2010. Our population of 73,700 people is young, ethnically diverse and growing. Eastvale is one of the fastest growing cities in the State. Eastvale is strategically poised between Interstate 15 and California State Routes 91, 60, and 71, making it highly accessible for residents, visitors, and businesses. Residents and visitors enjoy the small-town, neighborly charm of our young, vibrant community and still benefit from major metropolitan amenities such as Eastvale’s proximity to the Ontario Airport.
The pace and performance of the City has been second to none. In 2020, the City launched a community engagement website: Engage Eastvale, began the start of the Eastvale 2040 General Plan Update, and continued to navigate through a pandemic, while also maintaining the high level of service for our residents and businesses.
The City of Eastvale invests in community relationships to increase collaboration and communication in a positive way and works closely with the Corona- Norco Unified School District, the Jurupa Community Services District, the Jurupa Area Recreation & Parks District, neighboring cities, and other community stakeholders. The City of Eastvale is served by the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office for law enforcement and CalFIRE/Riverside County Fire for Fire/Medical Emergency Response. We are always striving to E xceed Eastvale’s Expectations Every Day and desire to work with consultants that share this same goal and provide award -winning services, performance and results.
The City operates under a Council/Manager form of government and has a five-member City Council comprised of members elected by district. Each Council Member is elected for four years with staggered terms. The Council selects one of its members in December of each year to serve as Mayor and another to serve as Mayor Pro Tem.
The City Council values and encourages public participation in the governing process and our residents are engaged and proud to represent their neighborhood, culture, and community.
The Eastvale City Council holds its Regular Meetings on the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays of each month at 6:30 p.m.
The Planning Commission meetings are on the 3rd Wednesday of each month at 6:00 p.m. and the Public Safety Commission meet on the 4th Tuesday of each month at 6:00 p.m. We typically only have one Council meeting in July, August, November, and December and the dates of these meetings could be impacted based on holidays.

- 6 -
4860-2752-1654 v1
person having any such interest shall be employed by it as an officer, employee, agent or subcontractor without the express written consent of the City Manager.

Any future position of City on such projects shall not be considered a conflict of interest for purposes of this section. (c) City understands and acknowledges that Contractor will perform non - related services for other governmental agencies and private Parties following the completion of the Services under this Agreement. Any such future service shall not be considered a conflict of interest for purposes of this section.
SECTION 15. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION; RELEASE OF INFORMATION.

City retains the right, but has no obligation, to represent Contractor or be present at any deposition, hearing or similar proceeding. Contractor agrees to cooperate fully with City and to provide City with the opportunity to review any response to discovery requests provided by Contractor. However, this right to review any such response does not imply or mean the right by City to control, direct, or rewrite said 446
- 7 -
4860-2752-1654 v1

In the event Contractor fails to obtain such indemnity obligations from others as required herein, Contractor agrees to be fully responsible according to the terms of this section. Failure of City to monitor compliance with these requirements imposes no additional obligations on City and will in no way act as a waiver of any rights hereunder. This obligation to indemnify and defend City as set forth herein is binding on the successors, assigns or heirs of Contractor and shall survive the termination of this Agreement or this section.
(d) City’s Negligence . The provisions of this section do not apply to claims occurring as a result of City’s sole negligence. The provisions of this section shall not 447

SECTION 18. ASSIGNMENT.
The expertise and experience of Contractor are material considerations for this Agreement.

In recognition of that interest, Contractor shall not assign or transfer this Agreement or any portion of this Agreement or the performance of any of Contractor’s duties or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the City.
Any attempted assignment shall be ineffective, null and void, and shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement entitling City to any and all remedies at law or in equity, including termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 20 “Termination of Agreement.” City acknowledge s, however, that Contractor, in the performance of its duties pursuant to this Agreement, may utilize subcontractors.

Instead, the City may give notice to Contractor of the default and the reasons for the default. The notice shall include the timeframe in which Contractor may cure the default. This timeframe is presumptively thirty (30) days, but may be extended, though not reduced, if circumstances warrant. Dur ing the period of time that Contractor is in default, the City shall hold all invoices and shall, when the default is cured, proceed with payment on the invoices. In the alternative, the City may, in its sole discretion, elect to pay some or all of the outstanding invoices during the period of default. If Contractor does not cure the default, the City may take necessary steps to terminate this Agreement under Section 20 “Termination of Agreement.” Any failure on the part of the City to give notice of the Contractor’s default shall not be deemed to result in a waiver of the City’s legal rights or any rights arising out of any provision of this Agreement.
SECTION 22. EXCUSABLE DELAYS.

Subject: Request for Additional Authorization – Land Development Plan Review Services
Dear Mr. Sandona,
CSG Consultants, Inc. respectfully requests authorization for additional fees for Land Development Plan Review Services for Eastwalk (PW22-10004) in the City of Eastvale.
We are requesting an additional amount of $70,000. Our services and fees would be invoiced on a Time and Material basis for tasks as they are assigned by the City. Accurate expenditure timeline cannot be defined due to the unknown schedule and development plans of the private developer. Based on review of recent budgetary figures, the average burn rate has been approximately $7000 per month for the period between July ’23 and end of November ’23. An additional $70,000 will allow us to complete review and approval of the ongoing Planning Areas 1, 6, 7 and 8 projects. It will also cover the cost of review and approval of the forthcoming assignments of Planning Areas 3 and 4.
If this request meets your approval, please provide the necessary Notice-to-Proceed document.
Should you have any questions or would like to discuss this request further, please call me at (714) 568-1010 or email me at [email protected]. Thank you.

RE: REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL AUTHORIZATION - LAND DEVELOPMENT PLAN REVIEW SERVICES Dear Mr. Sandona,
CSG Consultants, Inc. (CSG) respectfully requests authorization for an additional budget for Land Development Plan Review Services for the Eastwalk Project (Task #13) in the City of Eastvale. The Eastwalk project budget is already exhausted.
There are approximately 19 pending projects at varying review stages (see enclosed table). Some of the unpaid plan review charges exceed the approved budget of $117,105. A budget increase of an additional $75,000 appears adequate to complete the remaining efforts and cover the previously completed but not-yet-paid or invoiced work.
If this request meets your approval, please provide the necessary Notice-to-Proceed document.
Should you have any questions or would like to discuss this request further, please call me at 714.568.1010 or email me at [email protected]. Thank you.

Adop(on of Ordinance Prohibi(ng Camping and Storage of
Personal Property in Public Places
Prepared By:
Marc A. Donohue, Government Services Director/City Clerk Recommended Action(s)
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the proposed Ordinance entled: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF EASTVALE ADDING CHAPTER 8.10 TO THE EASTVALE MUNICIPAL CODE PROHIBITING
CAMPING AND STORAGE OF PERSONAL PROPERTY IN PUBLIC PLACES
Summary
The City of Eastvale is a general law city formed under the laws of the State of California. With respect to adopon of ordinances and resoluons, the City adheres to the requirements set forth in the Government Code. With the excepon of urgency ordinances, Government Code Secon 36934 requires two readings of standard ordinances more than five days apart. Ordinances must be read in full at the me of introducon or passage unless a moon waiving the reading is adopted by a majority of the City Council present. This Ordinance was first introduced at the duly noced City Council regular meeting on September 11, 2024.
The proposed ordinance adds a new chapter to the Municipal Code that prohibits camping and the storage of personal property in public places. The ordinance also prohibits camping and storing personal property on privately owned property without the property owner's advanced consent.
Individuals violang the Ordinance may be cited provided that they are first nofied by the City that their conduct violates the Code.
Any property property stored in a public place, including camping paraphernalia, may be removed by the City a@er a 48-hour noce is posted. Property may be removed immediately if it presents an 12363 Limonite Avenue | Suite 910 | Eastvale, CA 91752 951.361.0900 |

617
immediate threat to the public health or safety. Property removed will be stored for up to 60 days to provide the individual the opportunity to reclaim their belongings.
Background
"An-camping" ordinances such as the proposed ordinance have been the subject of ligaon for many years. In 2018, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals held in Marn v. City of Boise that the City of Boise's an-camping ordinance could not be criminally enforced unless there were adequate shelter beds available within the City to serve the individuals the City sought to cite for violang the City's an-camping ordinance. In June of this year, the United States Supreme Court overruled the Boise case in City of Grants Pass v. Johnson, opening the door to criminal enforcement of an-camping ordinances once again. In light of the Grants Pass decision, City staff is recommending that the City Council adopt an an-camping ordinance to provide the City with an addional tool to address homelessness.
Environmental
The proposed Ordinance is exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guideline 15061(b)(3) as it can be seen with certainty that the proposed ordinance will not create any significant environmental impacts. The ordinance preserves public places for their intended uses and creates an enforcement mechanism to ensure that those places are preserved.

PLN24-20054 - Amendment to Sec)on 120.04.010 of the Eastvale Municipal Code as it pertains to Accessory Dwelling Units (Second Reading)
Prepared By:
David Murray, City Planner
Recommended Action(s)
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the proposed ordinance entled: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EASTVALE, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING SECTION 120.04.010 (ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS) OF THE EASTVALE MUNICIPAL CODE
Summary
The proposed ordinance would amend the City's regulaons related to Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) to comply with changes in state law since the last update to Secon 120.04.010 of the Eastvale Municipal Code in 2020.
Background
Beginning in 2016, the California legislature began to pass a series of bills designed to encourage addional small-scale housing producon by requiring jurisdicons throughout the State to meet requirements that would alleviate restricons on residenal development. Over the subsequent eight years, there have been numerous addional bills that expanded the ability to construct Accessory and Junior Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs and JADUs) on both single-family and mul- family properties.
During this me, the City of Eastvale made incremental changes to the Municipal Code to maintain compliance with the ever-changing state mandates. However, the last update to Secon 120.04.010 12363 Limonite Avenue | Suite 910 | Eastvale, CA 91752 951.361.0900 |
eastvaleca.gov
625
of the Eastvale Municipal Code occurred in April 2020. Since then, there have been changes in state law related to ADUs resulng in the City's Municipal Code being out of compliance and subject to legal challenge. As such, staff is bringing forward a proposal to amend the code to bring it up to date with current legislation.
The proposed changes reflect current state legislature and include the following:
1 .
Clarificaons and addions to the definions secon including new definions for "Accessory Structure," "Detached Accessory Dwelling Unit," and "Objective Standards;" 2 .
Adjustment of maximum allowable ADU size from 1,200 square feet to the minimum size statutorily required (1,000 square feet);
3 .
Clarificaon to allow for ADUs in the front setback area when the condions of the property do not allow for the placement of an ADU of at least an 800 square feet in the side or rear yards;
4 .
Revisions to the language related to maximum height requirements for ADUs; and 5 .
Other clarifying changes as required.
On July 17, 2024, the Planning Commission adopted Resoluon 24-08 recommending that City Council adopt a Zoning Ordinance Amendment of Secon 120.04.010 of the Eastvale Municipal Code to comply with state law.
On September 11, 2024, the City Council introduced the ordinance related to the proposed amendment.
The proposed changes are consistent with the General Plan goals, policies, and implementaon programs. Specifically, Housing Element Strategy HE-1G provides the City will encourage the construcon of accessory dwelling units by amending the Municipal Code to be consistent with current state law.
State law requires the City to submit a copy of its ADU ordinance to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) within 60 days aJer it is adopted. HCD will issue findings regarding compliance with State law. HCD has not issued formal guidance to date addressing how HCD interprets the new ADU laws to assist cies in draJing their new ordinances.
HCD may request additional revisions to the Ordinance after it completes its review.
Environmental
On September 11, 2024, the City Council determined that the proposed ordinance is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review under the general rule exempon. The ordinance ensures compliance with state law by updang the City's regulaons for consistency. The adopon of this amendment does not exceed what is statutorily allowed under exisng state law, and will not directly result in development or intensification of land use.
