The Proposed Project does not include recreational facilities. The Proposed Project would develop 51 residential lots on a currently undeveloped parcel. Due to the proposed scale of development, it is not anticipated that the Proposed Project would require the construction or expansion of existing recreational facilities. The Applicant would comply with the City of Hemet’s Development Impact Fees, which would lessen the Proposed Project’s impacts on public services, infrastructure, and facilities. Impacts would be less than significant.

4.16.2 Mitigation Measures
No significant impacts were identified, and no mitigation measures are required.

4.17 Transportation
A Traffic Impact Analysis was prepared for the Proposed Project by Urban Crossroads (Appendix M; Urban Crossroads 2019). A subsequent Trip Generation and Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) Screening Analysis was prepared for the Proposed Project by Translutions, Inc. (Appendix N; Urban Crossroads 2022).

4.17.1 Environmental Setting
The Proposed Project study area was defined in coordination with the City of Hemet. Consistent with County of Riverside traffic study guidelines, the study area includes any intersection of Collector or higher classification street, with Collector or higher classification streets, at which the Proposed Project would add 50 or more peak hour trips.

4.17.1.1 Study Intersections
The Traffic Impact Analysis’ study area includes four intersections adjacent or near the Project Area, including:

1. San Jacinto Street at East Menlo Avenue

2. Girard Street at A Street

3. Girard Street at East Menlo Avenue

4. Deardorff Drive - B Street at East Menlo Avenue

T
he existing level of service (LOS) was calculated using traffic count data collected in October 2019. As depicted in Table 4.17-1, none of the existing study area intersections are currently operating at an unacceptable LOS during the peak hours. The City of Hemet has established LOS D as the lowest acceptable LOS for peak-h
our intersection movements and LOS C as the lowest acceptable LOS for roadway segment operations

4.17.1.2 Bicycle and Pedestrian Facilities
Currently there are no bicycle facilities adjacent to the Project Area. However, the City of Hemet’s General Plan proposes to accommodate Class 2 (on-road) two-way striped bike lanes on East Menlo Avenue and Park Avenue. Pedestrian facilities are currently provided along the south side of East Menlo Avenue from east of Deardorff Drive to the western study area boundary (Urban Crossroads 2019).

4.17.1.3 Transit Service
The Project Area is currently served by the Riverside Transit Agency (RTA) with bus services along San Jacinto Street and East Menlo Avenue west of San Jacinto Street. RTA Routes 32, 42, 74, 79 appear to be existing transit routes that could potentially serve the Project Area. Transit service is reviewed and updated by RTA periodically to address ridership, budget, and community demand needs. Changes in land use can affect these periodic adjustments which may lead to either enhanced or reduced service where appropriate (Urban Crossroads 2019).

4.17.1.4 Trip Generation and VMT Screening
The City of Hemet has guidelines for Vehicle Miles Traveled and are included in the City of Hemet Draft TIA Guidelines (May 2021). These guidelines include thresholds, screening criteria, and VMT reduction measures. The VMT screening analysis has been developed in consultation with City staff and is consistent with the City’s draft guidelines.

Construction Impacts
The Proposed Project would generate short-term construction-related vehicle trips. However, traffic generated during construction of the Proposed Project would be temporary and would not conflict with the City’s Transportation Element or Circulation Element. The Project would not impede the implementation of City programs supporting walking, bicycling, and use of public transportation. Impacts would be less than significant.

Operational Impacts
Roadway Facilities
The following General Plan policies were applied to study area intersections to identify General Plan consistency through a comparison of Existing and Existing Plus Ambient Growth Plus Project (EAP) traffic conditions:
• If an intersection is projected to operate at an acceptable level of service (i.e., LOS D or better) under existing traffic conditions and the addition of Project traffic is expected to cause the intersection to operate at an unacceptable level of service (i.e., LOS E or F). • If an intersection is projected to operate at LOS E or LOS F under Existing Conditions, with the addition of Project traffic.

Analysis
Intersections
Potential impacts to traffic and circulation have been evaluated for each of the following conditions:

Trips generated by the Proposed Project have been estimated based on trip generation rates collected by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual, 10th Edition, 2017. The Proposed Project is anticipated to generate a net total of approximately 481 trip-e nds per day with 38 AM peak
hour trips and 51 PM peak hour trips. All study area intersections were evaluated using the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) 6th Edition analysis methodology (Urban Crossroads 2019).

E
xisting Conditions
For Existing traffic conditions, none of the study area intersections are currently operating at an unacceptable LOS (LOS E or worse) during either of the peak hours (please see Table 4.17-1).

E+P Conditions
This scenario includes existing traffic volumes plus traffic generated by the Proposed Project. Results are shown on Table 4.17-2.

Summary
The addition of Proposed Project traffic to existing, existing plus ambient growth, and existing plus ambient growth plus cumulative conditions would not result in any of the study intersections to operate at an unacceptable LOS level (LOS E or worse). As such, the Proposed Project is anticipated to be consistent with the City of Hemet General Plan Circulation Element. Furthermore, the Applicant would contribute to the City of Hemet Development Impact Fees Program and the Riverside County Transportation Uniform Mitigation Program. Payment of these fees is anticipated to address the Proposed Project’s share of regional and City improvements. These fees are collected as part of a funding mechanism aimed at ensuring that regional highways and arterial expansions keep pace with the projected vehicle trip increases. Impacts would be less than significant.

Bicycle and Pedestrian Facilities
As part of the development, the Proposed Project would construct improvements on adjacent roadways.

Improvements would include half-section width road improvements along the Project Area’s frontage on Girard, Menlo Avenue, and Park Avenue. These improvements would include constructing curb and gutter and sidewalks on adjacent frontage roads. Improvements would also include a bike lane on the southbound of Park Avenue. A beneficial impact to bicycle and pedestrian facilities would occur.

Transit Service
Transit service is reviewed and updated by RTA periodically to address ridership, budget, and community demand needs. Changes in land use can affect these periodic adjustments which may lead to either enhanced or reduced service where appropriate (Urban Crossroads 2019). Impacts would be less than significant.

b) Conflict or be inconsistent with CEQA Guidelines
section 15064.3, subdivision (b)?
Less than Significant Impact.

CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.3, subdivision (b) details the use of vehicle miles traveled (VMT) to assess the significance of transportation impacts. As detailed in CEQA Guidelines section 15064.3, subdivision (c), a lead agency may elect to be governed by the provisions of this section immediately. Beginning on July 1, 2020, the provisions of this section shall apply statewide. As of the preparation of this document (November 2022), draft VMT analysis thresholds of significance have been adopted by the City of Hemet and the analysis below follows the those guidelines (City of Hemet, May 2021).

The Project VMT Screening Analysis follows screening criteria provided in the City’s guidelines to determine if this Project can be screened out of a VMT analysis under the presumption that it will result in a less than significant transportation impact. The conditions of land developments to be screened out may be the size, location, proximity to transit, or trip-making potential. Residential and office projects located within a low VMT-generating area are presumed to have a less than significant impact absent substantial evidence to the contrary. Based on the Western Riverside Council of Governments VMT Tool available online, the Project is located within a low VMT-generating transportation analysis zone. Because the Project is located within a low-VMT generating area, the Project can be presumed to have a less than significant impact on VMT based on this screening criteria.

Trip generation calculations were performed in 2022 as part of the analyses prepared by Translutions, Inc.

Trip generation for the Project is based on rates from the Institute of Transportation Engineers' (ITE) Trip Generation Manual (11th Edition). Trip generation rates for Land Use 210 - "Single-Family Detached Housing". The Project is forecast to generate 36 a.m. peak hour trips, 48 p.m. peak hour trips, and 481 daily trips. The VMT guidelines include several land uses that can be presumed to have a less than

significant impact absent substantial evidence to the contrary as their uses are local servicing in nature.

The uses include project that generate less than 500 net new daily vehicle trips. For residential uses, this generally corresponds to 52 single-family housing units. The Project includes 51 single family housing units and will generate less than 500 net new daily vehicle trips (Urban Crossroads 2022). Therefore, the Project is presumed to have a less-than-significant impact on VMT based on this screening criteria.

Based on a review of applicable VMT screening thresholds, the Project meets the screening criteria for a small project and a project in a low VMT-generating area, and would result in a less than significant VMT impact. Impacts would be less than significant, and no mitigation is required.

The Proposed Project would construct two new T intersections into the development at Girard Street and East Menlo Avenue. These improvements would be designed by a registered civil engineer to meet City of Hemet development standards. The Proposed Project’s design and construction plans would be reviewed by City of Hemet’s Engineering Departments to ensure all design features meet the City’s development standards.

4.18 Tribal Cultural Resources

4.18.1 Environmental Setting
Ethnographic accounts of Native Americans indicate that the Project Area lies predominantly within the original territory of the Serrano and Cahuilla (ECORP 2019c).

4.4.1.1 Ethnographic Setting
Serrano
The Serrano occupied an area in and around the San Bernardino Mountains and northward into the Mojave Desert. Their territory also extended west along the north slope of the San Gabriel Mountains, east as far as Twentynine Palms, north into the Victorville and Lucerne Valley areas, and south to the Yucaipa Valley and San Jacinto Valley (Cultural Systems Research 2005). The Serrano speakers in the Mojave Desert who lived along the Mojave River were known as Vanyume. Serrano is a language within the Takic family of the Uto-Aztecan language stock (ECORP 2019c).

Settlement locations were determined by water availability, and most Serranos lived in villages near water sources. Houses and ramadas were round and constructed of poles covered with bark and tule mats (Kroeber 1925). Most Serrano villages also had a ceremonial house used as a religious center. Other structures within the village might include granaries and sweathouses (Bean and Smith 1978).

Serrano social and political units were clans, patrilineal exogamous territorial groups. Each clan was led by a chief who had both political and ceremonial roles. The chief lived in a principal village within the clan’s territory. The clans were part of a moiety system such that each clan was either a wildcat or coyo te clan and marriages could only occur between members of opposite moieties (Earle 2004). On the north side of the San Bernardino Mountains, clan villages were located along the desert-mountain interface on Deep Creek, on the upper Mojave River, in Summit Valley, and in Cajon Pass. The principal plant food available near these villages was juniper berries. These villages also had access to mountain resources, such as acorns and pinyon nuts (ECORP 2019c).

Partly due to their mountainous and desert inland territory, contact between Serrano and Euro-Americans was minimal prior to the early 1800s. In 1819, an asistencia (mission outpost) was established near present-day Redlands and was used to help relocate many Serrano to Mission San Gabriel. However, small groups of Serrano remained in the area northeast of the San Gorgonio Pass and were able to preserve some of their native culture. Today, most Serrano live either on the Morongo or San Manuel reservations (Bean and Smith 1978).

Cahuilla
The Cahuilla spoke a Takic language. The Takic group of languages is part of the Uto -Aztecan language family. The Cahuilla occupied a territory ranging from the San Bernardino Mountains in the north to the Chocolate Mountains and Borrego Springs in the south, and from the Colorado Desert in the east to Palomar Mountain in the west. They engaged in trade, marriage, shared rituals, and war with other groups

of Native Americans whose territories they overlapped, primarily the Serrano and Gabrielino (Bean 1972, 1978; Kroeber 1925).

Villages were often located near water sources, most commonly in canyons or near drainages on alluvial fans. Major villages were fully occupied during the winter, but during other seasons task groups made periodic forays to collect various plant foods, with larger groupings from several villages organizing for the annual acorn harvest (Bean and Saubel 1972).

Cahuilla buildings consisted of dome-shaped or rectangular houses, constructed of poles covered with brush and above-ground granaries (Bean 1978; Strong 1929). Other material culture included baskets, pottery, and grinding implements; stone tools, arrow shaft straighteners and bows; clothing (loincloths, blankets, rope, sandals, skirts, and diapers); and various ceremonial objects made from mineral, plant, and animal substances (Bean 1972).

As many as 10,000 Cahuilla may have existed at the time of European contact in the eighteenth century (Bean 1978). As of 1974, approximately 900 people claimed Cahuilla ancestry (Bean 1978).

4.4.1.2 Regulatory Setting
Assembly Bill 52
Effective July 1, 2015, Assembly Bill (AB) 52 amended CEQA to require that: 1) a lead agency provide notice to those California Native American tribes that requested notice of projects proposed by the lead agency; and 2) for any tribe that responded to the notice within 30 days of receipt with a request for consultation, the lead agency must consult with the tribe. Topics that may be addressed during consultation include TCRs, the potential significance of Project impacts, type of environmental document that should be prepared, and possible mitigation measures and Project alternatives.

Pursuant to AB 52, Section 21073 of the PRC defines California Native American tribes as “a Native American tribe located in California that is on the contact list maintained by the NAHC for the purposes of Chapter 905 of the Statutes of 2004.” This includes both federally and non-federally recognized tribes.

Section 21074(a) of the PRC defines TCRs for the purpose of CEQA as:

1. Sites, features, places, cultural landscapes (geographically defined in terms of the size and scope), sacred places, and objects with cultural value to a California Native American tribe that are either of the following:
a. included or determined to be eligible for inclusion in the California Register of Historical Resources; and/or
b. included in a local register of historical resources as defined in subdivision (k) of Section 5020.1; and/or
c. a resource determined by the lead agency, in its discretion and supported by substantial evidence, to be significant pursuant to criteria set forth in subdivision (c) of Section 5024.1. In applying the criteria set forth in subdivision (c) of Section

4-79 November 2022
2019-185

5024.1 for the purposes of this paragraph, the lead agency shall consider the significance of the resource to a California Native American tribe.

Because criteria a and b also meet the definition of a historical resource under CEQA, a TCR may also require additional consideration as a historical resource. TCRs may or may not exhibit arch aeological, cultural, or physical indicators.

Recognizing that California tribes are experts in their TCRs and heritage, AB 52 requires that CEQA lead agencies provide tribes that requested notification an opportunity to consult at the commencement of the CEQA process to identify TCRs. Furthermore, because a significant effect on a TCR is considered a significant impact on the environment under CEQA, consultation is used to develop appropriate avoidance, impact minimization, and mitigation measures.

Summary of AB 52 Consultation
On October 20, 2022, the City of Hemet notified the following California Native American tribes traditionally and culturally affiliated with the geographic area of the Proposed Project:
• Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians
• Augustine Band of Cahuilla Mission Indians
• Cabazon Band of Mission Indians
• Cahuilla Band of Indians
• Los Coyotes Band of Cahuilla and Cupeño Indians
• Morongo Band of Mission Indians
• Pala Band of Mission Indians

• Quechan Tribe of the Fort Yuma Reservation
• Ramona Band of Cahuilla
• Rincon Band of Luiseno Indians
• Santa Rosa Band of Cahuilla Indians
• Soboba Band of Luiseno Indians
• Torres-Martinez Desert Cahuilla Indians
Each recipient was provided a brief description of the Project and its location, the lead agency contact information, and a notification that the tribe has 30 days to request consultation.

As a result of the initial notification letters, the City of Hemet receive the following responses:

• Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians (ACBCI) responded via email on November 8, 2022, indicating the Proposed Project Area lies within the Tribe’s Traditional Use Area. ACBCI’s response letter also requested the following:
o A cultural resources inventory of the Project Area by a qualified archaeologist prior to any development activities in the area
o A copy of the records search with associated survey reports and site records from the information center
o Copies of any cultural resource documentation (report and site records) generated in connection with the Project
The City of Hemet has elected to initiate consultation with the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians on November 30th.

No response was received from the other contacted California Native American tribes. The 30-day response period concluded on November 21, 2022.

Consultation is ongoing and will be concluded pursuant to AB 52 prior to the adoption of the CEQA document.

i-ii) While there are no known TCRs in the Project footprint, ground-disturbing activities have the potential to result in the discovery of, or inadvertent damage to, archaeological contexts and human remains, and this possibility cannot be eliminated. Consequently, there is a potential for significant impacts on TCRs. Implementation of Mitigation Measures CUL-1 through CUL- 5, as discussed in Section 4.5 would reduce impacts to less than significant. Mitigation Measures CUL-1 through CUL-4 are City of Hemet standard conditions prescribed for addressing the unanticipated discovery of historic, archaeologic, and/or tribal cultural resources during construction.

The Proposed Project would result in the development of 51 residential lots, which would require connections to the City’s water and wastewater systems. The Proposed Project is below the 500 dwelling unit threshold for a Water Supply Assessment. Due to the scale of the proposed development , it is not anticipated that 51 new connections for single-family homes would require the construction or expansion of water or wastewater treatment facilities and would comply with conditions identified in LHMWD Ordinance No. 176 regarding no net demand increase. LHMWD has provided a will serve letter dated October 25, 2022, and set conditions of approval for the Proposed Project (Appendix P; LHMWD 2022). In addition to meeting the conditions of LHMWD Ordinance No. 176, conditions of approval identified in the will serve letter include payment of applicable fees and construction of any required facilities in accordance with LHMWD approved plans and standards and specifications.

Less than Significant Impact.

The City has incorporated into Chapter 14 of the municipal code mechanisms and techniques to reduce the fire hazards to proposed development that encroaches into the hillsides and interface areas.

Provisions include ensuring adequate ingress and egress to enable safe and rapid passage of both fire equipment and private vehicles; requiring all development to provide a dependable supply of water for both normal daily consumption and emergency fire needs; adopting building codes that establish structural design and construction codes that reduce vulnerability to fire hazards such as those regarding roofing materials, vents, setbacks, exterior siding, overhangs, and glass; and requiring perimeter protection from native vegetation. The City's project review process includes reviews by the City’s Fire, Building and Safety, and Planning Departments for consideration of wildfire risk, emergency access requirements, and consistency with development standards set forth in the City’s municipal code . The Proposed Project’s design meets City standards and the latest building construction codes. Established City procedures including plan check, permit issuance, and construction inspection would ensure implementation of the Proposed Project is consistent with the approved design. Impacts would be less than significant.

The Project Area is relatively flat. The Proposed Project would not substantially alter the slope, wind patterns, or other factors that could exacerbate wildfire risks. Undeveloped areas adjacent to the Project Area include Park Hill to the east and an undeveloped parcel just to the west. As mentioned previously, the Project Area is located within a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone (City of Hemet 2012b). Prevailing winds onsite move in a WSW direction, from Park Hill. However, the Project Area is bound by single family residential development to the north, south, and west. The City's project review process includes reviews by the City’s Fire, Building and Safety, and Planning Departments for consideration of wildfire risk, emergency access requirements, and consistency with General Plan policies to minimize and avoid exacerbation of wildfire risk. Due to the developed nature of the Project Area, the Proposed Project’s design, and the City’s project review process, as described in the response to question a above, the Proposed Project is not anticipated to exacerbate wildfire risks. Impacts would be less than significant.

Less than Significant Impact.

The Proposed Project would require the installation and maintenance of infrastructure to serve the proposed residential use of the Project Area. Infrastructure would include roads and utility connections.

The Project Area is located in an area with existing infrastructure to which the Proposed Project would connect. The installation and maintenance of proposed infrastructure improvements is not anticipated to exacerbate the fire risk in the Project Area. Impacts would be less than significant.

The Project Area is relatively flat is surrounded by residential development to the north, south, and west and Park Hill to the east. Park Hill is a significant topographic feature with substantial slopes. A drainage easement is located along the eastern boundary of the Project Area which will remain in place. It is reasonable to assume the storm drain facilities offsite are adequately designed to handle the volume and

velocity of stormwater runoff from areas offsite, No portion of Park Hill is included within the Project Area, as such the Proposed Project would not alter the slope, grade, or drainage patterns of Park Hill upslope of the existing storm drain.

The Project includes a proposed water quality basin on the western boundary of the Project Area. A registered civil engineer has designed the Project’s grading plan and stormwater management system to meet City development standards, and to safely collect and convey runoff to the proposed water quality basin. As stated previously, during operations the Proposed Project would implement a WQMP. The WQMP details the Proposed Project’s stormwater management system to address post -construction runoff quality and quantity. The Proposed Project’s water quality basin is designed to allow stormwater to infiltrate into the ground reducing the velocity and volume of stormwater that is discharged from the Project Area.

As stated previously, in the response to question a) above, the Proposed Project’s design meets City standards and the latest building construction codes. Compliance with established City procedures including plan check, permit issuance, and construction inspection would ensure implementation of the Proposed Project is consistent with the approved design. Therefore, the Proposed Project would not expose people or structures to significant risks, including downslope or downstream flooding or landslides, as a result of runoff, post-fire slope instability, or drainage changes. No impact would occur.

STAFF REPORT

Meeting: City Council Meeting - Mar 28 2023
Department: Fire Department
Submitted by: Mark Prestwich, City Manager
Eddie Sell, Fire Chief;

☐ Receive and File ☒ Consent Calendar ☐ Business Item ☐ Public Hearing

TITLE:

A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Hemet, California, Approving the use of American Medical Response (AMR) Penalty Fees to Purchase Needed Components for Emergency Medical Services (EMS) System Enhancements and Authorizing the Finance Directo r to Record a Supplemental Appropriation in the Amount of $25,250, and Authorizing the City Manager to Execute all Documents Related to this Purchase

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

It is respectfully recommended that the City Council:

1. Adopt a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Hemet, California, Approving the use of AMR penalty fees to purchase specified medical equipment and services to enhance the Fire Department's ability to provide medical care and,

2. Authorize the Finance Director to Record a Supp lemental Appropriation in the amount of $25,250 in the necessary expenditure accounts, and Authorizing the City Manager to execute all documents related to this purchase.

BACKGROUND:

The Fire Department has been providing Advanced Life Support services to the community of Hemet for over eight years as a recognized first responder. In collaboration with the current transport provider (AMR), the Fire Department responds to over 14,000 medically related calls annually.

When the transport provider cannot meet their response time contractual obligations, the Riverside County Emergency Medical Services Association (REMSA) assesses a penalty fee. This penalty fee is made available for the purpose of EMS system enhancements to the first responders of the area where the response occurred.

ANALYSIS:

8.C

Paramedics and Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT's) are required to maintain competencies in certain areas in order to obtain continuing education hours and maintain their skills. Having equipment distributed among different areas allows crews to remain in or near their first response areas to complete their training. Additionally, new employees can practice outside of normal training hours to help boost their experience.

Funds have been established by the Regional Emergency Medical Services Agency (REMSA) to help enhance the City's EMS system through the assessment of ambulance late fees. These fees are available to the Fire Department to purchase items to help improve the del ivery of care to the City of Hemet. These funds are a critical support measure when needs arise within the department.

DISCUSSION:

All equipment will be purchased using the City's established procurement procedures.

Training Equipment: $9,850
• 1 - AirTraq Monitor
• 3 - Airway Training Mannequins
Providing advanced airways for patients is a critical skill for paramedics that requires regular training.

Currently, the department's airway mannequins are in need of replacement due to age and use. The AirTraq system is an advanced tool used by paramedics to perform these skills. Purchasing a spare monitor allows for immediate replacement should one break or become misplaced.

Public Access Automated External Defibrillation (AED) Program: $9,400 • 15 - Automated External Defibrillator replacement batteries • 5 - AED Cabinets
• 12 - AED signs
• 15 - AED Response Kits
• 3 - AEDs
There are currently 15 AEDs at public facilities throughout the city. Studies have shown that early cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and early defibrillation are key factors leading to cardiac arrest survival. These units' batteries are expired or nearing expiration and need to be replaced. Additionally, a number of these units are in publicly accessible areas. In order to enhance their visibility and mitigate vandalism or theft, staff is recommending the purchase of signage and cabinets to house these AEDs.

The cabinets have a light and alarm that sounds when opened. This will alert staff to the use of an AED and prompt them to call 911.

Software Purchases $6,000
• Annual ReddiNet Subscription
• Electronic Medical Equipment Check Out Program
ReddiNet is an electronic application that keeps track of the hospital status throughout Riverside County. This allows paramedics the ability to communicate the status of hospitals to their patients and provide transport destination options. An electronic medical equipm ent check out program helps provide better accountability on narcotic's logs as well as required equipment checks. It will also eliminate paper records and align with industry standards regarding record keeping.

PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:

8.C

Council has previously approved items to enhance the EMS system within the City of Hemet utilizing the AMR late fees.

STRATEGIC PLAN INTEGRATION:

GOAL ONE: QUALITY OF LIFE:

To ensure that Hemet is safe, clean, attractive and comfortable for all who live, work, and visit.

Objective 1: Enhance the visual appearance of the community to make it attractive and reduce blight.

Objective 2: Explore and implement homelessness solutions for the City of Hemet.

Objective 3: Increase Public Safety visibility and response.

GOAL FIVE: ORGANIZATIONAL EFFECTIVENESS
To identify the work needed inside the City organization to effectively provide services to the community and ensure financial stability.

Objective 1: Operate in a financially sustainable manner.

Objective 2: Evaluate existing practices to ensure continuity with industry best practices.

Objective 3: Provide Council with policies that are consistent while lessening liabilities.

Objective 4: Increase employee retention by training and creating a positive workplace.

Objective 5: Streamline fire prevention coordination efforts.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Costs for EMS system enhancements total $25,250. Staff is requesting supplemental appropriations in the following expenditure accounts:

110-3241-2560 Training and Education $9,850
110-3243-2450 AED Equipment $9,400
110-3200-2260 Software Purchases $6,000

AMR penalty fees are recorded in revenue account 110 -0653. Fees received by the City are tracked by Finance and set aside for restricted use by Fire. Currently, $169,622 is available for the City to use for these types of projects. Therefore, there is no impact to the General Fund.

ALTERNATIVE(S):

Should council choose not to utilize AMR late fees to fund these items, General Funds or other sources would need to be used to purchase these items.

☐ Receive and File ☒ Consent Calendar ☐ Business Item ☐ Public Hearing

TITLE:

Consideration of a Letter of Support for Local Government Investment Priorities in the 2023-2024 State Budget

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

It is respectfully recommended that the City Council:

Approve sending a Letter to Support Local Government Investment Pri orities in the 2023 -2024 State Budget.

BACKGROUND:

Based on Governor Gavin Newsom's proposed FY 2023-2024 State Budget of $297 billion in January 2023, the budget does not currently include any new, ongoing funding for cities to address the housing supply and homelessness issues as requested by the League of California Cities in their letter to the Governor late last year.

Consequently, the League of California Cities has urged all cities across the State, including the City of Hemet, to submit a letter to the Budget Committee chairs and vice chairs requesting investments in the 2023-2024 State Budget to bolster local government efforts to not only support its residents through a variety of community programs and services but to also address homelessnes s and the lack of affordable housing in cities. This letter speaks on three main points:

1. To invest $3 billion in ongoing funding for cities to increase the supply of affordable housing and reduce homelessness.

2. To invest $1 billion to reimburse cities for unfunded mandates.

3. Avoid any action that would reduce or eliminate funding for cities or divert essential local revenue sources.

ANALYSIS:

8.D

State investment in funding to mitigate housing and homelessness chal lenges will be very helpful to the City of Hemet. The City of Hemet made a concerted effort to establish a $1.2 million contract supported by one -time American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds in December 2021 with City Net, a homeless non outreach -orga profit Police Hemet of the between City In nization. cooperation Department and City Net to reduce and prevent homelessness, the City's homeless population was positively impacted by City Net's collaborative supportive services, casework, and housing provisions.

These impacts are supported by statistics provided by City Net on a monthly and annual basis. Below is the 2022 summary of City Net's homeless outreach efforts:

Contacts

New engagements

Street Exits

682

364

196

Definitions:

Contacts: reflects the number of interactions for the specific purpose of reaching out to unsheltered homeless neighbors. This begins the initial process of building trust and offering support toward the long-term goal of connecting them to emergency shelters, housing, or critical services.

New Engagements: reflects the number of homeless neighbors who are voluntarily engaged in a formal, written case management relationship with City Net, and are followed up to ensure a successful placement in permanent housing

Street Exits : reflects the number of unsheltered individuals who have exited the streets either temporarily or permanently by having a reasonable plan in place to move from temporary shelter to permanent housing.

Additionally, the City of Hemet partic ipates in the annual Riverside County's Homeless Point in Time Count (PIT) where City staff and volunteers carry out a census of the City's homeless population and offer emergency housing, hygiene items, and resources to unsheltered individuals. The County of Riverside Department of Housing and Workforce Solutions which organizes the PIT count recently provided a 2022 PIT Count report that can be seen below. A complete report is also attached for reference:

The 2022 PIT Count found that Hemet had 82 unsheltered individuals reflecting a 12% decrease in the homeless population. In comparison to the last PIT count conducted in 2020, there were 93 unsheltered individuals. 2021's PIT count was canceled due to concerns about the COVID-19 pandemic.

In conclusion, the City's ability to sustain the level of investment provided by the one-time ARPA funding will be bolstered by a significant State investment in support of local government efforts to mitigate

8.D

homelessness. Furthermore, while the City has been proactive in performing PIT counts to best assess the needs of the homeless population, the City will benefit by sustained State funding.

DISCUSSION:

This item was placed on the agenda for the Council to consider support for encouraging a significant State investment in local government efforts to mitigate homelessness and the housing crisis. Attached is a draft letter for consideration.

PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:

No previous actions by Council were performed on this item.

STRATEGIC PLAN INTEGRATION:

GOAL ONE: QUALITY OF LIFE:

To ensure that Hemet is safe, clean, attractive and comfortable for all who live, work, and visit.

Objective 1: Enhance the visual appearance of the community to make it attractive and reduce blight.

Objective 2: Explore and implement homelessness solutions for the City of Hemet.

Objective 3: Increase Public Safety visibility and response.

GOAL FOUR: PARTNERSHIP & COLLABORATION
To pursue partnerships that will increase the opportunities available to the community, including our businesses, unemployed, and youth populations.

Objective 1: Develop concepts and programs to increase opportunities for youth recreation.

Objective 2: Develop concepts and programs to enhance the quality of life services.

Objective 3: Develop programs to offer support to the community's businesses

FISCAL IMPACT:

Dear Senator Skinner, Senator Niello, Assembly Member Ting, and Assembly Member Fong:

In the spirit of a strong state and local government partnership that benefits all Californians, the City of Hemet respectfully calls on the state and lawmakers to take action to bolster local government efforts to support our most vulnerable residents and ensure California's economic strength.

City officials are on the front lines delivering esse ntial services to more than 80% of the state's residents. They rely on collaborative partnerships with the state and other organizations to meet the challenges facing our communities. Every day, local leaders connecting individuals experiencing homelessness with wraparound services, delivering permanent supportive housing, and jumpstarting the construction of affordable housing in their communities. Clearly there's more work to do and that requires additional resources.

The City of Hemet calls on Legislature to make permanent funding stream of $3 billion annually for cities to help more Californians find homes and prevent more Californians from having to live on the streets, under bridges, or in their cars. Tougher fiscal times can exacerbate the challenges our communities face by contributing to a downturn in the production of affordable housing, an increase in the struggle for resourc es for unhoused residents, and ever -increasing economic inequity. In the face of another potential recession, we cannot afford for these gaps to widen.

An ongoing $3 billion investment from the state can spur much -needed housing production, ensure that thousands more Californians experiencing homelessness get the support they need, and more importantly, prevent thousands more from losing their homes. This funding will further our state-local partnership to advance practical, data -driven, and effective str ategies to two of the state's biggest challenges.

To provide an example, the City of Hemet has established a nearly $1.2 million contract with City Net, a homeless outreach non-profit organization, to reduce and prevent homelessness, which has, thus far, positively impacted the City's homeless population through its collaborative supportive services, casework, and housing provision in cooperation with the City of Hemet Police Department. While this service is funded by the American Rescue Plan Act, the City duly understands the necessity for services like that provided by City Net as it directly benefits the ci tizens and residents of Hemet and

8.D

continued funding for such services and programs is critical to tackle aforementioned problems.

It is also time for the state to finally pay down its growing backlog of unreimbursed claims - nearly $1 billion - owed to local governments for state-mandated programs. The vitality of local governments is dependent upon fiscal stability, and local governments rely on the state to reimburse them in a timely manner for costs related to delivering a wide range of state-mandated programs.

Equally important, the City of Hemet strongly opposes any action that would reduce or eliminate funding for local governments as a short-term solution to balance the 2023-24 state budget. Diverting funding would only compound cities' financial challenges and jeopardize the delivery of critical resources to our most vulnerable residents.

We look forward to engaging with you to realize an even stronger partnership for the benefit of all Californians.

Sincerely,

Joe Males

In response to the economic hardships experienced by small businesses during the COVID -19 pandemic, the City of Hemet established the Hemet CARES Business Support Program as part of the Hemet CARES Initiative (Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic and Security Act).

The City Manager's Office applied for CDBG-CV Funds in February 2021 and was allocated $320,000 to provide thirty-two $10,000 grants to eligible Hemet businesses. On April 27, 2021, the City Council reconvened the CDBG Ad Hoc C ommittee with Council Members Linda Krupa and Russ Brown. The Ad Hoc Committee reallocated CDBG -CV funds from a canceled project, resulting in $360,000 being available for the Hemet Cares Business Support Program. Staff developed criteria based on the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) reporting requirements which include meeting the following criteria.

1. Demonstrate use of CDBG-CV funds only for activities that prevent, prepare for, and respond to coronavirus; and

2. Demonstrate benefit to low -and-moderate-income (LMI) persons (must invest at least 70% of CDBG-CV grant funds for activities that benefit LMI persons); or

3. Meet a need having a particular urgency (referred to as urgent need); or

4. Aid in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight; and

8.E

5. Demonstrate use of fun ds to provide either (1) jobs or (2) goods and services to low - and moderate-income individuals

ANALYSIS:

Based on HUD's requirements for grantees, and the information the City is required to report, staff developed the following evaluation criteria. Staff modeled its criteria after completing a survey of other cities. The five criteria to evaluate applications are:

1. Percentage of net income loss/gain;

2. Age of business;

3. Current number of employees (including independents that work in the establishment full-time);

4. Anticipated unmet financial need; and

5. Location – within City of Hemet boundary lines.

All applications with scores of 50 points and higher qualify for the full $10,000 grant and a reporting period would be initiated for each recipient to track the spending of funds and the subsequent impact.

As provided by HUD, the following summarizes th e elements that the City will need to report back to HUD. Grants will be in the first and third categories: Direct Assistance and Microenterprise Assistance.

DISCUSSION:

The City received eight (8) applications in Round Four. Only six (6) applicants qualify under the criteria which are listed below:

1. Allied Erosion Specialists

2. La Michoacana Palateria y Neveria

8.E

3. Truly Knowing One Barbershop

4. Eva's Floral Gallery

5. Auto Travel Insurance

6. The Cuttin' Bar Barbershop & Shavin' Parlor

Allied Erosion Specialists received 58 points and La Michoacana Palateria y Neveria received 56 points.

Both businesses saw a decrease in their net income between the tax years of 2019 and 2020 which allocated the most points to their total.

Furthermore, Truly Knowing One Barbershop, Eva's Floral Gallery, Auto Travel Insurance, and The Cuttin' Bar Barbershop & Shavin' Parlor did not meet the 50-point minimum but were recommended for approval t of breakdown the reviewing Committee Hoc Ad CDBG the by after financial heir documentation. More specifically, Truly Knowing One Barbershop, Eva's Floral Gallery, and Auto Travel Insurance made a profit between the tax years of 2019 and 2021 but still showed a need to pay for rent, employee wages, personal protection equipment (PPE), supplies, and/or other eligible business operational costs. Subsequently, businesses were recommended for approval because they showed a need to reimburse eligible costs and were microenterprises as defined by the CDBG -CV HUD guidelines. Lastly, evaluation of The Cuttin' Bar Barbershop & Shavin' Parlor's application indicated a lower point value because the business is newer; newer businesses receive less points whereas older businesses receive more points. To see a complete breakdown of t heir point allocations, please refer to the attachment titled Round Four Grading Sheet.

Furthermore, when a business does not qualify under the scoring criteria, it may qualify as a microenterprise if the business has five (5) or fewer employees, such as the aforementioned applicants above. Applicants must be able to demonstrate their status as a microenterprise throughout the reporting period and must indicate a need as a consequence of the pandemic. HUD defines a “microenterprise” as a commercial enterprise that has five (5) or fewer employees, one or more of whom is the owner. They include a range of service providers and retail businesses that typically serve a specific need of their community. Some examples are the roving automobile mechanic or the hairdresser who serves the neighborhood.

All grantees, including microenterprises, will be subject to a reporting period after being selected. During that period, grantees must provide evidence of how the fund helped prevent, prepare for, and respond to Co ronavirus. Funds can be used to drive economic recovery as a response to the coronavirus recession in many sectors of the economy. For example, a grantee may choose to assist a business that will hire persons who became unemployed during 2020; or a grantee may choose to assist start - up businesses or to restart businesses closed since January 2020 as a result of the economic effects of the coronavirus.

Lastly, the remaining two (2) applications not listed above were either moved to Round Five due to incomplete documentation or was disqualified.

Moved to Round Five for further evaluation:
• Cocina Taco El Rey
Disqualified
• RK Salon
RK Salon was disqualified because the applicant is no longer the owner of the business. Businesses must be existing and owned by the applicant in order to be evaluated to receive funding.

8.E

The CDBG-CV Small Business Support Grant Program is only offered to for-profit businesses, and as staff did for Round One through Four, staff will continue to conduct outreach campaigns to solicit business applicants for the next round. This includes:

• Emails to all City businesses on file
• Direct calls to all City businesses on file
• Advertising through the Chamber of Commerce
• Sharing application material in the City lobby
• Hand-delivering application material to businesses

Staff will also continue to work hand-in-hand with each business to ensure that they have help for each step of the application process, including getting documents that qualify for reporting to HUD. While the application is detailed in scope, it ensures that staff can adequately report back to HUD.

In conclusion, staff also recommends the approval of the six businesses for Round Four of the Hemet CARES Small Business Support Grant Program.

Submitted by: Eddie Pust, Interim City Manager
Laura Axcell, Fire Captain;

☐ Receive and File ☒ Consent Calendar ☐ Business Item ☐ Public Hearing

TITLE:

Fiscal Year 2022 State Homeland Security Program Grant Award

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

It is respectfully recommended that the City Council:

1. Adopt a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Hemet, California, Accepting the FY2022 Grant Funding of $14,354 from the State Homeland Security Grant Program (SHSGP) through the California State Office of Emergency Services (CalOES) for the period of January 25, 2023, to May 31, 2024.

2. Authorize the Finance Director to increase estimated revenue and establish appropriations in the amount of $14,354 in the Public Safety Grant Fund #232.

BACKGROUND:

Active Shooter incidents require a collaborative relationship among law enforcement, fire, and emergency medical services. First Responders must train together, and the training must be ongoing, updated, and include proper Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Use of PPE reduces the likelihood of death and serious injury to citizens and First Responders and it is critical that all responding Fire Department members have proper PPE protection. With the recent hiring of additional Firefighters, the City currently does not have enough Personal Protective Equipment for all members.

The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program educates volunteers about disaster preparedness for hazards that may impact their area and trains them in basic disaster response skills, such as fire safety, light search and rescue, team organization, and disaster medical operations. CERT offers a consistent, nationwide approach to volunteer training and organization that professional responders can rely on during disaster situations, allowing them to focus on more complex tasks.

The City Council of Hemet has previously approved participation in the California Office of Homeland Security Grant Program for the Active Shooter Program and Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) training. Participation includes applying for available grant funds for training exercises and

8.F

equipment to expand and increase the readiness of First Responders and CERT Teams throughout the San Jacinto Valley.

ANALYSIS:

The FY2022 State Homeland Security Grant for both Active Shooter Personal Protective E quipment and for Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) will allow for the continuation of capable, equipped, and trained Responders both professional and civilian. The grant will allow for the purchase of emergency medical equipment , ballistic vests, b allistic helmets for Active Shooter Firefighters and "CERT" bags containing prepacked equipment deemed necessary for Community Responders in emergency situations.

DISCUSSION:

Based on the projected operational priorities, the Fire Department plans to a dhere to the following expenditure plan:

CERT Program
CERT Kits to include (hard hat, backpack,
chemical goggles vented, 12 hour light stick free,
safety blanket, solar large dust vest, mask,
flashlight, pair of batteries, 15 inch pry bar,
lumber crayon) 100 Kits

$5,344
Active Shooter
Hemet FD- Ballistic Helmets (3)
$975
Hemet FD- Tactical EMS Bags (3)
$4,840
Hemet FD- Ballistic Vests (3)
$3,195

STRATEGIC PLAN INTEGRATION:

GOAL ONE: QUALITY OF LIFE:

To ensure that Hemet is safe, clean, attractive and comfortable for all who live, work, and visit.

Objective 3: Increase Public Safety visibility and response.

GOAL THREE: COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
To connect and participate in a constant dialogue between members of the community, City staff, and elected officials to promote togetherness and positivity.

Objective 1: Deliver messaging to the Community that connects, is consistent, and relevant.

Objective 2: Increase transparency for the public.

Objective 3: Increase the community's pride within the City.

8.F

GOAL FIVE: ORGANIZATIONAL EFFECTIVENESS
To identify the work needed inside the City organization to effectively provide services to the community and ensure financial stability.

Objective 1: Operate in a financially sustainable manner.

Objective 2: Evaluate existing practices to ensure continuity with industry best practices.

Objective 3: Provide Council with policies that are consistent while lessening liabilities.

Objective 4: Increase employee retention by training and creating a positive workplace.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no impact to the General Fund as funds spent out of the Public Safety Grant Fund #232 are reimbursed through this grant; it is recommended the Finance Director increase estimated revenue and establish appropriations in the amount of $14,354 in Public Safety Grant Fund #232 to reflect the grant award.

City Council Meeting

STAFF REPORT

Meeting: City Council Meeting - Mar 28 2023
Department: Information Technology
Submitted by: Mark Prestwich, City Manager
Scott Underwood, IT Operations/Network System Supervisor;

☐ Receive and File ☒ Consent Calendar ☐ Business Item ☐ Public Hearing

TITLE:

A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Hemet, California, for the Approval of the Barracuda Licensing Renewal by Executing an Agreement with BorderLAN, Inc in the Amount of $36,012.60; Authorize the Finance Director to Record a Supplemental Approp riation in the Amount of $36,012.60; and Authorize the City Manager to Execute this Agreement, Purchase Orders, and all Other Supporting Documents Related to this Agreement.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

It is respectfully recommended that the City Council:

Adopt a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Hemet, California, for the Approval of the Barracuda Licensing Renewal by Executing an Agreement with BorderLAN, Inc in the Amount of $36,012.60; Authorize the Finance Director to Record a Supplemental App ropriation in the Amount of $36,012.60; and Authorize the City Manager to Execute this Agreement, Purchase Orders, and all Other Supporting Documents Related to this Agreement.

BACKGROUND:

In 2012 the City of Hemet converted its e -mail system from Novell Groupwise to Microsoft Exchange.

That conversion included the deployment of a new e -mail filtering and protection system. In addition, that deployment moved the City from Beginfinite's GWAVA system to hardware -based Barracuda Networks, Inc e -mail filter and archiving appliance solutions. Those solutions from Barracuda were actively utilized from 2012 to 2021.

After nine years, the City of Hemet transitioned away from on -site e-mail. In 2021, the City started moving its e-mail and file storage to Microsoft 365. As Microsoft 365 is a cloud-based solution, moving the filtering and protection system to the cloud is critical. In preparation for the Microsoft 365 move, the City of Hemet purchased a three-year license for Barracuda's cloud-based solutions in April 2020.

Since 2021, Barracuda has provided Microsoft 365 e-mail filtering, user account protection, and cloud- to-cloud backup.

8.H

ANALYSIS:

As a common solution, requests for quotes were sent out to multiple vendors to obtain the lowest price.

BorderLAN, Inc was the lowest bid. Their bid was based on contract pricing (The Interlocal Purchasing System - TIPS - Contract # 210101), eliminating the need for a formal request for bid process.

SHI GovConnection, Inc Insight Public Sector BorderLAN, Inc $49,521.60 $46,192.80 $44,414.40 $36,012.60

DISCUSSION:

The City's current cloud -based Barracuda licensing expires in April 2023. In addition to mail filtering, Barracuda also provides a cloud-to-cloud backup service. The move to Microsoft 365 afforded the City to utilize Microsoft SharePoint and Microsoft Teams. E-Mail and files stored within those environments need to be backed up for the following reasons:

• Protection against malicious or accidental data loss: While Microsoft 365 includes built -in tools for backup and recovery, it is not adequate to protect against accidental or malicious data loss. • Retention and compliance requirements: The City has legal, regulatory and retention requirements that mandate the storage and retention of certain data. • Long-term archiving and storage: Cloud -to-cloud backups pr ovide long -term storage and archiving of data. These backups are useful for historic and reference purposes. • Easy access and recovery: Cloud -to-cloud backups provide quick recovery of individual files, folders, or entire systems in the event of data loss.

While Microsoft 365 guarantees the availability of its systems, they do not protect data. Cloud-to-cloud backups help reduce the data loss risk and ensure the City of Hemet is prepared for any potential disaster.

STRATEGIC PLAN INTEGRATION:

GOAL FIVE: ORGANIZATIONAL EFFECTIVENESS
To identify the work needed inside the City organization to effectively provide services to the community and ensure financial stability.

Objective 2: Evaluate existing practices to ensure continuity with industry best pr actices.

To identify the work needed inside the City organization to effectively provide services to the community and ensure financial stability.

The proposed action aligns with Council adopted Strategic Action Item: Evaluate the IT function and future needs.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Funding for this project in the amount of $36,012.60 will come from Information Technology fund balance (Fund No. 680). A supplemental appropriation of $36,012.60 is requested for account 680 - 1933-2265.

8.H

As a result of staff's recommended action the available Information Technology fund balance of $1,498,516 will be reduced by $36,012.60, resulting in a revised available fund balance of $1,462,503.

Annual renewal funding of this service will be added to Information Technology applications program account 680-1933-2265 as part of the budget process.

☒ Receive and File ☐ Consent Calendar ☐ Business Item ☐ Public Hearing TITLE:

Abandon the Public Hearing Previously set for the Formation of the City of Hemet Community Facilities District No. 2023-01 and the Authorization of the Levy of a Special Tax Within the City of Hemet Community Facilities District No. 2023-01 (Morgan Crossing) RECOMMENDED ACTION:

It is respectfully recommended that the City Council:

Approve the abandonment of the Public Hearing for the Formation of the City of Hemet Community Facility District No. 2023-01 (Morgan Crossing).

BACKGROUND:

A resolution of intention was previously adopted at the February 14, 2023 City Council meeting to establish City of Hemet Community Facilities District (CFD) No. 2023-01 (Morgan Crossing) and to authorize the levy of a special tax within said district. A public hearing was set for March 28, 2023.

ANALYSIS:

Although the resolution of intention was adopted and the public hearing date was set, there were subsequent changes to the costs required to maintain some of the included facilities that will be funded by this CFD. Due to the change in the maintenance costs, the Community Facilities District formation will need to be restarted and a new resolution of intention will be brought to the City Council at a later date.

PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:

A resolution of intention was previously adopted at the February 14, 2023 City Council meeting to establish City of Hemet Community Facilities District No. 2023-01 (Morgan Crossing) and to authorize the levy of a special tax within said district.

TITLE:

The Simpson Park Restoration Project

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

It is respectfully recommended that the City Council:

Discuss and Provide Staff Direction to Approve the Simpson Park Restoration Project as proposed by staff and the Rotary Club of Hemet on April 29th, 2023.

BACKGROUND:

The Fairview Fire began on Se ptember 5, 2022, near Bautista Road and Fairview Avenue in the unincorporated county area of Hemet. The fire spread quickly to the Southern and Western communities of Cactus Valley, South Hemet, and Sage, Southern and Eastern communities in the Bautista and Blackburn Canyons, and the Red Mountain area on the south-west side of the San Jacinto District of the San Bernardino National Forest.

Simpson Park took significant damages from the fire. Most of the surrounding vegetation was lost, and 50 trees were burned in the fire, overall consuming over 28,000 acres of land surrounding the City of Hemet.

ANALYSIS:

Based on the wildfire devastation within Simpson Park and consistent with the City's strategic plan goals to improve quality of life, community engagement, and partnerships and collaboration, it is recommended the City support a tree donation program, tras h and debris removal from the park, painting the restroom facilities, and coordination with volunteers to patriciate in a community clean up event.

The City will promote a tree donation program for the community to participate in. Currently, 22 tree locations have been mapped. See Attachment.

9.A

The City will partner with the Western Riverside Council of Governments (WRCOG) and the "Love your Neighborhood" program. Representatives from WRCOG will provide education on litter removal and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for volunteers in attendance. WRCOG will also provide trash bags and trash pickers for volunteers.

The City will partner with CR&R who will provide a roll-off dumpster at no cost to the City.

Boy Scout Pack 45 and Pack 46 will assist in restoring the butterfly garden.

City staff will assist with obtaining signed waivers from volunteers, planting trees, painting the restrooms, and will provide a hydration station for everyone in attendance.

DISCUSSION:

Based on a review of costs associated with the Simpson Park Restoration Project, it is anticipated that the cost for the irrigation parts for 22 trees will be $1,469.99 (Parks Operating budget FY22 -23). The paint and supplies to re -paint the Simpson Parks restrooms are approximatel y $160 (Facilities Maintenance Operating budget FY22-23). Efforts to restore Simpson Park by City staff and community volunteers will benefit the community as a whole. Simpson Park is a very popular area for birding, hiking, mountain biking, and exploring. The park is visited by several hundred visitors from across Southern California every weekend.

PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:

None.

STRATEGIC PLAN INTEGRATION:

GOAL ONE: QUALITY OF LIFE:

To ensure that Hemet is safe, clean, attractive and comfortable for all who live, work, and visit.

FISCAL IMPACT:

9.A

If the project is approved, City staff will prepare the site during the week prior to the event that is proposed for April 29th. The City will also staff the event with 3 Parks Division crew members. The labor costs associated with the preparation work and staffing of the Saturday event are estimated at $5,900.

The materials to be provided by the City total $1,630. Funding for this project will come from the Parks Operating budget FY22-23 and the Facilities Maintenance Operating budget FY22-23 with no additional appropriations requested.

TITLE:

An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Hemet, California, Amending Section 2-44 of the Hemet Municipal Code Related to City Councilmember Residency Requirements

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

It is respectfully recommended that the City Council:

Waive full reading and introduce by title only an Ordinance of the City of Hemet, California, Amending Section 2-44 of the Hemet Municipal Code Related to City Councilmember Residency Requirements.

BACKGROUND:

At the December 13, 2022, Regular City Council Mee ting, the City Council directed staff to review Hemet Municipal Code Section 2-44.

ANALYSIS:

At the December 13, 2022, Regular City Council Meeting, the City Council directed staff to review Hemet Municipal Code Section 2 -44. Specifically, staff was dir ected to review the section's residency requirements.

Government Code Section 34882 provides general requirements for residency that include:

• A councilmember must reside in the district from which they are elected; and • At the time nomination papers are pulled, the councilmember must both have resided in the district and have been a registered voter of the City.

Section 2-44, as originally adop ted by Ordinance No. 1916 on April 24, 2016, includes these general state law requirements but also requires a councilmember have been a registered voter of the district (not just the city) when nomination papers are pulled. Additionally, the section estab lishes that if a

9.B

councilmember terminates their residency in the district, it will result in an immediate vacancy for that council district, unless they establish a substitute residence within the district within 30 days.

The proposed revisions to Section 2-44 focus on subsection (b)(2) and modifies the existing provisions in a few ways:

• Firstly, it clarifies a perceived ambiguity regarding where a councilmember candidate must have registered stat language new The papers. nomination pulling when vote to a that es councilmember must have been a registered voter with the Riverside County Registrar of Voters when pulling nomination papers.
• Secondly, the language regarding "substitute residency" within 30 days has been removed as both confusing and ambiguous.
• Finally, the proposed language emphasizes that a person cannot establish residency in a district for temporary purposes without the intention of making that district their home. This language is substantially similar to the requirements stated in Elections Code Section 2021.

It is anticipated that these changes will bring clarity for both future councilmember candidates and the general public in future elections.

A redline of the proposed changes is included below:
