Public comment was received by Ethan Williams.

Book 37

Our city attorney, Ms. Martyn, explained what the bill was for to Mr. Williams. Council member Crankshaw explained that the action of cleaning the property was necessary. It was a fire hazard and the city cleaned it before it became a hazard. Ms. Martyn explained that the bill can be changed to a lien, so when the property gets sold, the City of El Centro will get paid before the escrow closes. Council member Camarena explained that the correct action was taken and that there were two options offered.

Council member Marroquin explained that Mr. Williams (father) had been in our Council Chambers before and was given the opportunity to speak. Mr. Ethan Williams interrupted Council member Marroquin and asked to speak.

Mr. Ethan William asked for an extension of the hearing date. Since there was no option to extend the hearing date, Mr. Ethan Williams presented several objections. The objection ware legal grounds, abatement procedures, section 18, division 2 – abatement procedure, division 3 – cost recovery procedure, division 3.1 – abating vegetation and waste matter and division 4 – emergency abatement procedure. He explained his objections and explained to Council that his father had to hire an individual who cleaned the rest of the property.

Ms. Martyn confirmed that code enforcement did not contact Mr. Williams and that the city in no way has obstructed any kind of development in that location. Ms. Martyn did not agree with any of the points Mr. Ethan Williams raised.

Council member Crankshaw asked how long Mr. Williams had owned the property. Mr. Williams stated that he had owned the property for a long time, he could not remember the exact time when he purchased the property. Council member Crankshaw explained that the city followed the correct procedure and assessed the property, which needed to be done.

Mayor Pro-Tem Ellett explained that the City did its job and cleaned the property to avoid a fire hazard.

Mr. Hernandez stated that the city used a license contractor to clean the property and disposed of it properly.

The public hearing was closed after city council comments and comments from both Mr. Williams and Ethan Williams were heard.

BACKGROUND:

The City of El Centro was designated as an entitlement community by the U.S.

Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) in 2004. For the 2025–2026 fiscal year, the City will receive $502,738 in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding to support local housing and community development initiatives. City Staff had initially estimated an award of $526,655 based on the prior year’s allocation. However, the actual award was lower, resulting in a proportional reduction in funding for public service programs to align with the final amount. The tables attached to this report reflect the final allocations.

As a prerequisite for funding under the CDBG Entitlement Program, the City is required to prepare a One-Year Action Plan, which outlines the projects and/or programs the City intends to undertake. When selecting activities to be funded, the City has the opportunity to provide up to 20% for Program Administration, up to 15% for Public Services, and the

balance of funding may be used for other eligible activities.

On April 15, 2025, the City Council adopted the City's 2025-2026 Action Plan for the CDBG Entitlement Program. The One-Year Action Plan was developed through the combined efforts of City staff, City Council, and through the Citizen Participation process of local non-profit organizations and residents of El Centro.

The City Council elected to fund activities and projects to be undertaken in the 2025-2026 Action Plan that address housing, community development needs, code enforcement, public services, and program administration.

DISCUSSION:

As part of the annual process, the City is required to enter into sub-recipient agreements for each activity to be undertaken during the upcoming CDBG Program Year.

Attached please find the following documents:
• Sub-recipient agreement template, which has been reviewed and approved by the City's legal department.
• Resolution approving the form of sub-recipient agreement.

Annually, City Council reviews and approves the sub-recipient agreement to ensure it is appropriate for distribution to the sub-recipients. At this time, no additional action is requested from the Council other than review and approval of the Sub-recipient Agreement.

CONCLUSION:

Staff respectfully requests the approval of the sub-recipient agreement template by approving Resolution No. 25- RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY

OF EL CENTRO APPROVING THE FORM OF SUB-RECIPIENT AGREEMENT WITH

PUBLIC SERVICE PROVIDERS IDENTIFIED IN THE CITY'S COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM ONE-YEAR ACTION PLAN (2025-2026)

BACKGROUND:

The Lotus Ranch Tentative Subdivision was approved by City Council on September 6, 2016 and allows for the development of a 213 acre property into a single-family residential subdivision planned for 547 single-family homes, 10.8-acre park, school site, and 16.5 acre retention basin (Refer to Exhibit A- Lotus Ranch TSM). The project is intended to be developed in phases. Unit B1 and Unit B2 have already received final map approval and have been subdivided.

The current expiration date is based off of the date when the last final map was recorded (Unit B2) and the additional time allowed by state law is August 5, 2025. Local ordinance and State law allows for the property owner to request 12-month time extensions, not exceeding 60 months at the discretion of the City Council. This would be the first request for a time extension for the Lotus Ranch Tentative Subdivision Map. The applicant is requesting a 12-month extension to August 5, 2026 (Refer to Exhibit B-Applicant Letter).

After a duly notice public hearing held on May 13, 2025 the Planning Commission unanimously voted to recommend approval of the time extension.

DISCUSSION:

PROJECT LOCATION - The project site consists of 213 acres located in the southwest portion of the City, generally located south of Interstate 8 and west of La Brucherie Avenue (Refer to Exhibit C-Project Location Map). Since it was approved in 2016, 22 homes have been constructed on Manzanita Drive and another 22 homes are under construction on

Chaparral Drive. Major public improvements that have been constructed include Wake Avenue west of La Brucherie Avenue, the relocation of a sanitary sewer lift station, and a sanitary sewer main on Wake Avenue.

LAND USE REVIEW - The Lotus Ranch Subdivision Map was reviewed for conformance with the General Plan and the existing zoning ordinance. There have been no substantial changes to the General Plan affecting this area since the project was approved in 2016 and remains consistent with the goals and policies included herein. Also, the project was assessed for compliance with the existing residential development standards and was found to also be consistent. The project site is zoned R1-Single Family and designated for Low Density Residential per the General Plan Land use Map. No changes or modifications are being requested or considered for the project

PUBLIC NOTICING - A public hearing notice was distributed to property owners 500-feet from the project site and published in the Imperial Valley Press on Friday, June 6, 2025. As of the date of preparation of this staff report, staff has not received any communications or comments regarding the project. Furthermore, no comments or questions were made at or prior to the Planning Commission public hearing on May 13, 2025.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW - The Lotus Ranch EIR was certified by the El Centro City Council on September 6, 2016. There have been no changes to the previously approved project or surrounding conditions that would warrant additional environmental analysis under the California Environmental Quality Act.

FINDINGS - In determining whether to approve the tentative subdivision map extension, the City Council shall consider the findings found in Section 24-281 of the El Centro City Code used for approving the tentative subdivision map. Findings in favor of the project are referenced in Exhibit D - Resolution. Below are the findings of staff's recommended language in support of the project:

1. That the proposed map is consistent with the City of El Centro General Plan.

Lotus Ranch Tentative Subdivision Map was reviewed for consistency with the adopted General Plan at the time it was first approved in 2016. No changes have occurred to the General Plan that were found to make it inconsistent.

2. That the design or improvements of the proposed subdivision are consistent with the City of El Centro General Plan.

Conditions of approval have been incorporated to ensure the Lotus Ranch Tentative Subdivision Map No. 16-01 was designed in accordance with the goals and policies of the General Plan as follows:
"LUE Policy 1.2: Protect and enhance existing residential neighborhoods by supporting safe, well-maintained housing, adequate parks and recreation facilities, and complete sidewalks and pedestrian/bike paths that connect to parks and recreation and neighborhood serving uses." The project includes the provision of sidewalks, pedestrian paths between cul-de-sacs, and bike facilities in compliance with the City's Mobility Element. Furthermore, the inclusion of a park site and school site will allow for walking and biking to these daily destinations within the project site. "LUE Policy 3.2: Direct and control growth within the City boundary and SOI in coordination with the provision of public facilities and services through the application of the City’s Urban Development Program (UDP)." The project site is located within the City's current boundaries and has been studied for the provision of public facilities and services when it was first approved by the City in 2016.

3. That the site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development.

The Lotus Ranch Subdivision is situated adjacent to the City Limits within 213 acres of land just south of Interstate 8. The site is suitable to accommodate the proposed residential development and has been reviewed to ensure consistency with the City’s General Plan and Zoning Ordinance density requirements.

4. That the design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements are not likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat.

An Environmental Impact Report was prepared in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act. The report found that all significant environmental impacts could be mitigated through mitigation measures. Thus, the project or improvements associated with the project will not cause substantial environmental damage or injure fish or wildlife or their habitat.

5. That the design of the subdivision or type of improvement are not likely to cause serious public health problems.

The Lotus Ranch Subdivision includes sidewalks and a public park to encourage an active lifestyle and will not cause serious public health problems.

6. That the design of the subdivision or type of improvements will not conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large for access through or use of property within the proposed subdivision.

The Lotus Ranch Subdivision will not conflict with easements acquired by the public at large. In fact, land was dedicated by the developer for a regional sanitary sewer lift station.

Summary of Rates Adjustments by service category as shown on attachment 1 (Based on Staff's and HF&H Consultant's review of CR&R request).

DUE DILIGENCE CHECK FOR CONTRACTORS/CONSULTANTS: DID THE

DEPARTMENT VERIFY CURRENT EL CENTRO BUSINESS LICENSE,
CONTRACTOR'S LICENSE, REFERENCE CHECKS, INSURANCE, ETC.:

CR&R is currently under a contract with the city. HF&H Consultants has assisted the city with the review of all prior proposed rate increase requests.

BACKGROUND:

The following report provides the history of the existing Agreement and modifications that have occurred since the contract was originally approved.

Original Contract:
• In 2006, HF&H was hired to assist City staff in the RFP Process for a new Waste Disposal Contract. HF&H (Hilton Farnkopf & Hobson) is a Consulting Firm that specializes in recycling and solid waste.
• On March 20, 2007, the City entered into a Franchise Agreement for Integrated Solid Waste Management Services with CR&R. These services include, but are not limited to, residential automated curbside collection, multi-family and commercial refuse and recycling bin collection and roll-off refuse and recyclable material processing and collection. CR&R commenced services to the City on July 1, 2007. • Various amendments and annual rate increases occurred between 2007 and 2021 in response to new State requirements and modified services. • On April 5, 2022, through Resolution 22-33, Council approved an amended and restated agreement with CR&R that consolidated all prior contract amendments and enabled implementation of programs to achieve compliance with AB 1826 and SB 1383. The amended contract commenced on May 1, 2022 and expires on June 30,

2027.
• On June 21, 2022, through Resolution 22-59, Council declared the results of the property owner protest ballot proceeding (Prop 218) conducted for the increase of residential and commercial/multifamily solid waste rates, commencing in fiscal year 2022/2023 and the subsequent four fiscal years, making findings and approving such rates and certain related actions. The process further authorizes City Council to adjust customer rates starting July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2027. The rates may be adjusted by employing the rate adjustment methodology specified in Article 6 of the Agreement for each respective rate year up to a maximum of 4% per year. • On April 15, 2025, through Resolution No. 25-15, Council approved an extension to the CR&R Franchise Agreement for an additional 5-year period ending June 30, 2032.

Rate Adjustment Methodology:

The maximum rates that CR&R can charge its customers are comprised and derived from the following cost component categories: “labor”, “fuel”, “equipment”, “insurance”, “disposal”, and “all other”. These cost component categories are based on published price indices, as designated and approved by contract. Annual rate adjustments are based on the percent change in the index for each of the aforementioned cost component categories. However, effective July 1, 2023, the maximum rate increase from year to year is limited to 4% per Resolution 22-59 and pursuant to the requirements of Proposition 218.

In addition, each of these cost components are weighted differently depending upon the service category (i.e. two categories: 1) carts and bins and 2) roll-off boxes), resulting in different rate adjustments for each service category. Disposal costs are adjusted by the actual change in the tipping fee CR&R pays at the landfill.

Per section 6.3 of the agreement:
"Adjustment to the maximum rates is subject to the approval of the City Council at a public hearing, although the City Council's discretion shall be limited to determining, based on substantial evidence, whether the requested maximum rate adjustment meets the requirements as set forth herein"
Rate Increases:

1. April 5, 2022, Resolution 22-33. City Council approved the amended and restated agreement which included a rate increase to commence July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2023. Residential rates increased by 11.2%

2. June 6, 2023, Resolution 23-60. City Council approved CR&R's second request for rate increase to commence July 1, 2023. Residential rates increased by 4%

3. June 4, 2024, Resolution 24-46. City Council approved CR&R's third request for rate increase to commence July 1, 2024. Residential rates increased by 2.5% DISCUSSION:

In accordance with Section 6.3 of the Agreement, CR&R submitted an annual rate adjustment request in writing prior to the March 30 contract established deadline. The prior rate increase occurred in 2024. There were no rate increases for FY 2016, 2017 and 2018.

The request was submitted on March 24, 2025 by CR&R for the July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026 rate, as such, the new rate increase would be effective July 1, 2025 and appear to residents in their mail early August as part of their July water/sewer/trash invoice.

The City contracted HF&H to review the rate increase request and supporting documentation and HF&H recommended some minor clean-up comments to CR&R, which they addressed. The revisions did not result in a change to the calculated rate adjustment being proposed.

HF&H provided CR&R their rate adjustment calculations and on May 12, 2025, CR&R submitted an updated rate adjustment calculations to reflect the minor clean-up comments noted during HF&H's review. CR&R revised proposal is hereto attached as attachment 1.

Notice of this public hearing was published on June 6, 2025 in English and Spanish.

Staff requests Council open a public hearing, and after considering input, find that based on substantial evidence as submitted by CR&R and verified by HF&H's independent

review, that the rate increase request meets the requirements of Contract Section 6.3 for rate increases and proceed to adopt the here proposed Resolution.

Subject: Review of CR&R’s 2025/26 Rate Adjustment Calculations Dear Daniel Paramo and Abraham Campos,
We have reviewed the solid waste services rate adjustment request submitted to the City of El Centro (City) by CR&R Incorporated (CR&R), dated March 24, 2025 (Exhibit 1), and the updated values re-submitted on May 12, 2025.

Rates are adjusted annually under Section 6.3 of the Amended and Restated Agreement between City of El Centro and CR&R Incorporated for Integrated Solid Wate Management Services (Agreement) based on changes in specified cost components. Such cost components are weighted differently depending on the service categories: 1) single family and commercial rates; and 2) roll-off box service rates, resulting in potentially different rate adjustments for each service category. The per ton disposal components of roll-off box loads are also calculated separately.

Per Section 6.2 of the Agreement, any adjustment may not increase by more than four percent (4%) annually, there shall not be any carryforwards, and there shall be no decreases. The weighted changes calculated for each of the service categories did not exceed the 4% cap for the proposed July 1, 2025, rate adjustment.

The proposed increases are included in the table below.

CR&R’s Proposed Rate Adjustments.

Service Category
Proposed
Increase
Residential and Commercial 2.3%
Roll-Off Box – Service/Pull Rate 2.8%
Roll-Off Box- Tonnage Charge 3.2%
To calculate the percent change in the Insurance Adjustment Factor, CR&R input the U.S Bureau of Labor Statistics’ final published index value. HF&H recommends the “New Index Value” used in the prior year’s rate adjustment calculations be used instead to properly capture year over year changes in the index values utilized. The requested update to the Insurance Adjustment Factor did not impact the proposed increase.

Daniel Paramo and Abraham Campos, P.E.

May 20, 2025

CR&R submitted an updated calculation on May 12, 2025, to address this change. HF&H agrees with the rates as calculated by CR&R.

Conclusion - Recommended Next Steps
Based on the analysis and findings described above, we recommend approving the FY 2025- 2026 solid waste collection rates submitted by CR&R on May 12, 2025, included as Exhibit 2.

The rates are supported by the rate adjustment calculations included in Exhibit 3. * * * * *

Re: Annual Rate adjustment for Solid Waste and Recycling Services for 2025-2026 Dear Mr. Paramo and Mr. Campos:

We have prepared for your review the solid waste rate adjustments based upon the formulas within our Franchise Agreement.

As provided for in the 2022 restated and amended agreement in Article 6, Sections 6.3 through 6.4 of the Franchise Agreement between the City of El Centro and CR&R Incorporated for Integrated Solid Waste Management, the rates illustrated in Exhibit “3” shall be adjusted annually to reflect the change in various cost categories of the Producers Price Index (PPI) and the Consumer Price Index (CPI). The indexes used are the actual December to December indexes for 2023 to 2024.

Due to the notification requirement, some indexes are considered preliminary (P), but often do not change when finalized. The annual adjustment is limited to a maximum of 4% annually and is implemented July 1
st of each year.

As such, we have supplied copies of the U.S. Department of Labor Statistics for the 12-month change (December to December). The calculations utilized in the attached Forms give an exact number to each category, based upon our contractual arrangement. The contractual CPI index has also been utilized for the disposal change. Rates for services not listed in the attached worksheets will be adjusted according to the percentage change within each service type category.

With your review and approval, the adjustments will be implemented with the both the City and CR&R’s July 1, 2025 billing.

As always, it is a pleasure being of service to the City of El Centro.

Respectfully submitted,
Matthew Gray

AVISO DE AUDENCIA

PUBLICA
AVISO DE AUDIENCIA PÚBLICA ANTE EL CONCEJO MUNICIPAL DE LA CIUDAD

DE EL CENTRO SOBRE EL ESTABLECIMIENTO DE AUMENTO DE TARIFAS PARA LA RECOLECCIÓN, TRANSPORTE, RECICLAJE, PROCESAMIENTO Y DISPOSICIÓN DE RESIDUOS SÓLIDOS PARA EL AÑO FISCAL 2025-2026 EN LA CIUDAD DE EL CENTRO
POR LA PRESENTE SE NOTIFICA QUE el martes 17 de junio de 2025, en la Cámara del Concejo Municipal, 1275 Main St., El Centro, a las 6:00 p.m. (o tan pronto como la agenda lo permita), el Concejo Municipal de la Ciudad de El Centro realizará una audiencia pública para considerar establecer nuevas tarifas para la recolección, transporte, reciclaje, procesamiento y disposición de residuos sólidos para el año fiscal 2025- 2026.

El último aumento de tarifas entró en efecto el 1 de julio de 2024. Como se explicó en el momento de ese aumento y en el contrato de franquicia revisado, cada año CR&R puede solicitar un aumento anual que no exceda el cuatro por ciento 4% a partir del 1 de julio de 2023 hasta el 30 de junio de 2027. Se puede proporcionar un aumento en la cantidad solicitada, o menos, según lo determine el Concejo Municipal con el asesoramiento del consultor independiente de la cuidad.

Se propone un aumento de la tarifa del 2.3% para la recolección de desechos sólidos residenciales y los servicios relacionados según lo estipulado en el contrato de franquicia (es decir, el servicio de recolección de residuos residencial, que incluye los contenedores azul, verde y negro, aumentaría de $24.47 a $25.03 por mes). También se propone un aumento de la tarifa del 2.3% para las tarifas de contenedores y carros comerciales; las tarifas varían según el tamaño del contenedor. La tarifa del servicio de caja de descarga/retiro se propone aumentar un 2.8% y también se propone aumentar un 3.2% en el cargo de servicio por tonelada.

Copias de la lista completa de las nuevas tarifas propuestas, junto con los documentos relacionados con el cálculo de dichas tarifas propuestas según lo exige el contrato de franquicia y verificado por el consultor independiente de la Ciudad están disponibles en la página web de la ciudad https://cityofelcentro.org/finance/rates/ y estan archivadas para su inspección en la Oficina de la Secretaria Municipal, Ciudad de El Centro, en el Ayuntamiento, 1275 Main Street, El Centro, California. Si se aprueba los cambios de tarifas, estas entrarán en vigencia el 1 de julio de 2025.

En la audiencia pública, el Concejo Municipal escuchará y considerará todos los comentarios sobre este aumento de tarifa propuesto. Todas las personas interesadas están invitadas a asistir. Si no presenta una objeción en esta audiencia, es posible que no pueda protestar por dicho aumento de tarifas en el futuro.

Para cualquier pregunta, llame a Frank Pacheco al 760-337-3177.

BACKGROUND:

The Imperial Irrigation District upgraded its 230 kV S-line. The project replaced 293 wood poles with 184 new steel poles according to IID news release dated 12/09/2021. The S-line pole alignment runs on the northern city boundary from east to west. As part of the IID project, IID requires a widened easement along the steel power pole alignment as compared to their existing easement.

DISCUSSION:

The proposed easement covers an area along the northern boundary of the El Centro Wastewater treatment plant. Staff has evaluated the easement and it does not impact the facility.

IID has prepared legal descriptions and a cost analysis on the value of the easement. IID proposes to purchase the easement from the City of El Centro in the amount of $38,375.00. IID has provided comparable property values to determine the fair market value of the easement. Staff agrees with the amount and recommends the amount be accepted and the easement provided to IID.

CONCLUSION:

Approve the Easement Purchase and Sale Agreement between IID and the City of El Centro as presented.

DUE DILIGENCE CHECK FOR CONTRACTORS/CONSULTANTS: DID THE

DEPARTMENT VERIFY CURRENT EL CENTRO BUSINESS LICENSE,
CONTRACTOR'S LICENSE, REFERENCE CHECKS, INSURANCE, ETC.:

BACKGROUND:

The City recognizes the complex challenges associated with homelessness, including camping activities occurring on streets, in parks, public spaces, utility rights-of-way, and occasionally on private property. The impact is particularly noticeable in the downtown area, where ongoing efforts are underway by the City and local business owners to enhance the area as an inclusive and welcoming gathering place for all community members.

Current municipal codes addressing unauthorized camping only permit enforcement through infractions that carry monetary penalties, which often fail to effectively address underlying issues faced by individuals experiencing homelessness. To provide the City with more effective tools and flexibility, it is proposed that violations related to unauthorized camping under Article VIII be designated as misdemeanors. However, understanding the sensitive nature of these circumstances, the Municipal Code authorizes the City Attorney to reduce any misdemeanor charges to infractions when appropriate, ensuring a fair and compassionate enforcement approach tailored to individual cases.

DISCUSSION:

Approving the proposed changes to the city ordinance regarding Unlawful Camping and Unlawful Storage will enhance the El Centro Police Department’s effectiveness in addressing these community concerns. Currently, violations for illegal camping and storage are classified as infractions, limiting enforcement effectiveness and voluntary compliance. Allowing officers the discretion to address these violations through custodial

measures, when necessary, typically increases voluntary compliance and promotes a safer and cleaner environment for all residents.

CONCLUSION:

Approve and authorize the modifications to the City Ordinance to the Chief of Police, or their designees, to enforce unlawful camping and unlawful storage ordinances as misdemeanors.

ORDINANCE NO. 25-

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EL CENTRO REVISING SECTION 18-49 OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE TO PROVIDE THAT VIOLATIONS OF THE CAMPING

PROVISIONS OF THAT CODE MAY BE PROSECUTED AS MISDEMEANORS Section 1. Findings: The City Council of the City of El Centro finds as follows:
a. The City has a number of homeless persons camping on streets, in parks, other public areas, utility rights-of-way, and on private property; b. This situation is especially acute in the downtown area. c. The City and the downtown business owners are working to upgrade the downtown area as a gathering place for the entire City; and d. Additional code enforcement tools are needed to assist with homeless issues.
e. Prosecution of violation of the camping provisions of the City Code now may be prosecuted only as an infraction, subject only to monetary fines which are meaningless in homeless situation.
f. Although the penalty for violation of Article VIII will be a misdemeanor, under the authority provided by the Municipal Code, the City Attorney may reduce that misdemeanor to an infraction when appropriate or desirable to do so.

N/A
BACKGROUND:

A time capsule was originally placed in 1976 at the former El Centro Chamber of Commerce building on 11th Street, a structure located on City-owned property and now the site of the new El Centro Police Headquarters. The capsule contains 64 historical items, including a letter from then-Mayor Dale Gares, and was part of a project led by Wilson Jr. High School teacher Margaret Mitchell. The El Centro Chamber of Commerce has since transitioned into the Imperial Valley Regional Chamber of Commerce, which continues to serve the region from its current location at 1095 S. Fourth Street—also Cityowned property. The capsule was removed in February 2024 during the construction of the new police facility and is currently being stored at the City’s Public Works Yard. The original placement was approved by City Council in 1976, with written instructions submitted to the City Clerk for the capsule to be opened in 2076, one month before the United States Tricentennial.

DISCUSSION:

The Imperial Valley Regional Chamber of Commerce is requesting Council approval to relocate the capsule to its current location at 1095 S. Fourth Street. The Public Works Department has completed design plans for repairing the capsule, which sustained minor damage during extraction, and for its installation at the new site. The Chamber will provide updated documentation to the City Clerk noting the new location for historical continuity. A public relocation ceremony is being planned by the Chamber for later this year and is expected to include original Wilson Jr. High participants, current students, community

members, and City leadership.

CONCLUSION:

Approve the official transfer of the 1976 time capsule from the El Centro Public Works Yard to the Imperial Valley Regional Chamber of Commerce at 1095 S. Fourth Street, a City-owned property, and direct the submission of updated documentation to the City Clerk for historical record-keeping.
