AMENDMENT TO MASTER EQUITY LEASE AGREEMENT
THIS AMENDMENT TO MASTER EQUITY LEASE AGREEMENT (this "Amendment") is made and entered into as of the , by and between Enterprise FM Trust, a Delaware statutory trust ("Lessor") and City of Hemet ("Lessee").

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, Lessor and Lessee are parties to certain Master Equity Lease Agreement dated 14th day of Nov, 2025, as amended (the "Agreement"; all capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Amendment shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement as amended by this Amendment); and
WHEREAS, Lessor and Lessee desire to amend the Agreement in the manner hereinafter set forth; NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Lessor and Lessee hereby agree as follows:

1. Notwithstanding the second to last sentence of Section 1 of the Agreement, Lessor and Lessee hereby agree that, solely for federal, state and local income tax purposes, the lease by Lessor to Lessee under the Agreement of following Vehicles (the “Specified Vehicles”) will be treated as a conditional sale rather than a true lease and that Lessee will be treated as the owner of the Vehicle solely for such income tax purposes:

Year Make Model Quote #
2026 Ford F-150 Police Responder 9519401
The Agreement and this Amendment have the specific intent of creating a conditional sale rather than a true lease with respect to the vehicles listed above, and by design, give appropriate consideration to tax statutes, Regulations, Court decisions, and IRS rulings and positions. In recognition of that intent, each of Lessor and Lessee hereby further agrees that it will not take any action or file any return or other document inconsistent with such tax treatment or with the ownership of the Specified Vehicles by Lessee solely for such income tax purposes.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, or anything else in this Amendment, the Agreement or any Schedule to the contrary, and given the inherent uncertainty that exists with respect to any advertised tax result or outcome, Lessee hereby acknowledges and agrees that Lessor makes no representation, warranty or covenant that any tax authority will not assert a contrary position or assert that (a) the lease of the Specified Vehicles by Lessor to Lessee is a true lease for tax purposes, (b) Lessee is not the owner of the Specified Vehicles for tax purposes and/or (c) Lessee is not entitled to claim any depreciation or recovery deduction for tax purposes with respect to the Specified Vehicles. Lessee shall be solely liable for any and all costs and expenses, including, without limitation, any and all attorneys' fees, incurred in contesting any such treatment of the lease of the Specified Vehicles as other than a conditional sale and shall keep Lessor informed, in writing, of any dispute with any tax authority as to the tax treatment of the lease of the Specified Vehicles.

2. All references in the Agreement and in the various Schedules and addenda to the Agreement and any other references of similar import shall henceforth mean the Agreement as amended by this Amendment. Except to the extent specifically amended by this Amendment, all of the terms, provisions, conditions, covenants, representations and warranties contained in the Agreement shall be and remain in full force and effect and the same are hereby ratified and confirmed.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Lessor and Lessee have executed this Amendment to Master Equity Lease Agreement as of the Enterprise FM Trust (Lessor) City of Hemet ("Lessee")

City Council Meeting

STAFF REPORT
Meeting: City Council Meeting - Dec 09 2025
Department: Human Resources
Submitted by: Mark Prestwich, City Manager
Norma Rangel, Human Resources Manager;
☐ Receive and File ☒ Consent Calendar ☐ Business Item ☐ Public Hearing TITLE:

A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Hemet, California, Approving an Amendment to the City's Classification and Compensation Plan to Include the New Position of Associate Civil Engineer, Approving a New Salary Schedule to Include the New Position of Associate Civil Engineer, Adding the New Position of Associate Civil Engineer to the Approved Budgeted Position List for Fiscal Year 2025-26, and Authorizing the Administrative Services Director to Establish Supplemental Appropriations in the Amount of $72,500 to the General Fund RECOMMENDED ACTION:

It is respectfully recommended that the City Council:

Adopt a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Hemet, California, Approving an Amendment to the City's Classification and Compensation Plan to Include the New Position of Associate Civil Engineer, Approving a New Salary Schedule to Include the New Position of Associate Civil Engineer, Adding the New Position of Associate Civil Engineer to the Approved Budgeted Position List for Fiscal Year 2025-26, and Authorizing the Administrative Services Director to Establish Supplemental Appropriations in the Amount of $72,500 to the General Fund.

BACKGROUND:

The City of Hemet’s Engineering Division relies on a combination of in-house expertise and contracted services to deliver critical public infrastructure projects, including streets, sidewalks, water, sewer, and park improvements. As engineering employees advance and gain more experience, licenses, and certificates, the City lacks a designated promotional pathway that aligns with these higher levels of qualification and responsibility.

The absence of a suitable advancement opportunity presents a retention challenge. Competing public agencies commonly offer promotional tiers for licensed engineers. Without such a structure in place, the City risks losing a proven, high-performing engineering professional who has become a valuable contributor to ongoing and future projects.

ANALYSIS:

19.J.

The creation of an Associate Civil Engineer position is both strategically and operationally justified.

The Engineering Division currently depends heavily on internal design work for right-of-way projects and Capital Improvement Program (CIP) development. The in-house engineer produces technical designs for streets, sidewalks, drainage, and utility infrastructure, as well as water, sewer, and park improvement projects. This internal capacity reduces the City’s reliance on outside consultants, lowering project costs and accelerating design timelines.

Consultant design contracts typically represent a substantial expense for municipal projects.

Retaining design expertise within the organization provides quantifiable savings, promotes costeffective project delivery, and ensures greater control over the design process. Establishing this new position allows the City to fully utilize the enhanced skills and licensure of the current engineering staff member, thereby maximizing the value of an existing investment in employee development and training.

The Associate Civil Engineer classification also strengthens the City’s ability to manage dynamic project conditions. In-house engineering staff can make timely design adjustments as projects advance through the development and construction phases, improving efficiency and reducing delays that commonly occur when relying on external consultants.

DISCUSSION:

The establishment of an Associate Civil Engineer position supports key organizational goals, including employee retention, operational effectiveness, fiscal responsibility, and long-term stability within the Engineering Division. A clear promotional pathway for licensed engineers is essential for retaining qualified staff in a competitive labor market and fostering professional growth within the organization.

Moreover, keeping design expertise in-house provides the City with critical flexibility, responsiveness, and institutional knowledge that cannot be replicated through contracted services. Long-tenured engineering staff develop a deep understanding of the City’s infrastructure systems, regulatory environment, and interdepartmental processes, which enhances project outcomes and supports longterm planning efforts.

Creating this position aligns with best practices in municipal engineering staffing structures and ensures the City can continue delivering high-quality, cost-effective infrastructure improvements. For these reasons, staff recommends approval of the new Associate Civil Engineer classification with a salary range of $9,101 - $11,616 monthly.

Pursuant to the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act (MMBA), City staff have met and conferred with representatives from the Hemet Mid-Managers Association (HMMA). City representatives and HMMA representatives agreed upon the position, pay, and benefits.

PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:

There is no previous Council action on this item.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

It is respectfully recommended that the City Council:

Adopt a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Hemet, California, Approving an Agreement with West Coast Cable Technologies Group to Install Network Cable for the Upcoming Installation of Cubicle Workstations at City Hall, Authorizing the City Manager to Execute All Necessary Documents to Support the Agreement, Authorizing the Administrative Services Director to Establish a Supplemental Appropriation in the Amount of $27,500 in Fund 316 - General Facilities ($25,000 for the Agreement and $2,500 (10%) Contingency).

BACKGROUND:

On September 23, 2025, the City Council approved the reorganization of the Building & Safety and Code Enforcement Divisions from the Fire Department to the Community Development Department, effective on December 1, 2025.

On October 28, 2025, the City Council approved an agreement with Swedlows Distributors, Inc. to remove eight existing cubicle workstations and install 13 refurbished cubicle workstations at City Hall.

On November 12, 2025, the City Council requested that the City obtain additional quotes in an attempt to find a lower cost to perform the cabling work.

ANALYSIS:

19.K.

On October 31, 2025, staff met with the vendor West Coast Cable Technologies Group to walk through the project with the newly designed cubicle configuration to determine what needs to be added or relocated.

On November 12, 2025, staff recommended the project to be awarded to West Coast Cable Technologies Group. West Coast Cable Technologies Group is a well-established vendor with the City and has partnered on numerous projects over the years. They were able to meet the City's tight timing requirements and have the cabling completed prior to the initial cubicle construction date of November 24, 2025.

Council expressed concerns over the pricing for the job and requested staff to solicit additional nonformal bids to ensure the best value and cost.

Staff worked with three vendors to obtain non-formal bids that include coverage of the scope, along with the requirements of prevailing wage and registration with the California Department of Industrial Relations (DIR).

The scope of the work includes:

Network Cabling
 14 locations as two network cables (28)
Cable Plant - Network:
 Cable is 4-pair, shielded category 6, CMP jacketed
 Network cables will be terminated onto existing 48-port, Category 6 patch panels at the MDF/IDF, Category 6 RJ45 jacks at the station wired to EIA/TIA 568-B standards.  Test all network cables to be in compliance with EIA/TIA TSB67 specifications for Category 6 cable.

Cable Plant – General:
 Support all cable in ceiling area at 4’ intervals according to local codes and EIA/TIA specifications.
o 6ft hangers (as required)
o J-hooks (as required)
 Label all station outlets with machine-generated labels.

Surface Mount Raceway Pathway:
 Provide labor and materials to install surface-mount raceway.  Install (100ft) of LD10 surface-mount raceway as a cable pathway. o Install all necessary couplers, connectors, and supports for a complete surface mount raceway system.

Patch Panel Installation:
 Provide labor and materials to install a new patch panel.  Install (1) unloaded 48-port patch panel to support new network cabling.

Patch Cords:
 Provide (28) 5ft category six patch cords at the switch.  Provide (28) 7ft category six patch cords at the jack location. 4” Wet Concrete Core:
 WCC to install (1) 4” wet concrete core at the customer-specified location.

19.K.

Quotes were provided by the vendors; however, it was discovered that the lowest bidder was working with a subcontractor that was not registered with the DIR. Unfortunately, under California Labor Code 1725.5, contractors and subcontractors are required to be registered with the DIR to be qualified to bid on or perform public projects. Therefore, this bid could not be accepted. The next lowest bid was West Coast Cable Technologies Group.

West Coast Cable Technologies Group $24,975.00
Adept Communications $28,061.63
DISCUSSION:

The scope of work includes labor, material, and the cost of a four-inch wet concrete core to run the cabling from the server room to the workstations.

PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:

On September 23, 2025, the City Council approved the reorganization of the Building & Safety and Code Enforcement Divisions from the Fire Department to the Community Development Department, effective on December 1, 2025.

On October 28, 2025, the City Council approved an agreement with Swedlows Distributors, Inc. to remove eight existing cubicle workstations and install 13 refurbished cubicle workstations at City Hall.

On November 12, 2025, the City Council requested the City obtain additional quotes in attempts to find a lower cost to perform the cabling work.

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 1: Operate in a financially sustainable manner.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Staff recommends approval of a supplemental appropriation in the amount of $27,500 from Fund 316 – General Facilities.

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

Consideration by the Hemet City Council Approving a Six-Month Extension of a Temporary Use Permit through June 30, 2026, for the Pop-Up Food Truck Festival Located at the Northwest Corner of Florida Avenue and Carmelita Street
RECOMMENDED ACTION:

It is respectfully recommended that the City Council:

Approve a Six-Month Extension Through June 30, 2026, of a Temporary Use Permit for the Pop-Up Food Truck Festival Located at the Northwest Corner of Florida Avenue and Carmelita Street BACKGROUND:

The Hemet Food Truck Festival was approved by the City Council on March 25, 2025, for eight weeks. The Festival has been received well and continues to draw countless Hemet residents each Saturday to experience the 10-12+ Food Trucks options from Pizza, Mexican, Asian Cuisine, Desserts, and much more. In addition, the City Council approved an extension to run until December 31, 2025.

Wanderlust Events has submitted a request to continue its Temporary Use Permit hosted weekly in partnership with the City of Hemet on property located at the corner of Florida Avenue and Carmelita Street until June 30, 2026. The Festival is intended to continue to bring a fun, family-friendly festival to Hemet that promotes local artisan foods in the heart of the Downtown District.

ANALYSIS:

The pop-up Food Truck event is proposed to operate on Saturdays from 5:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. until June 30, 2026. The Food Truck Festival would feature anywhere between 10 and 15 food trucks on any given Saturday, along with live music, cornhole games, tables, lighting, portable restrooms, and parking along the perimeter.

19.L.

The primary objective is to continue a fun, family-friendly event in Hemet that promotes local food businesses, enhances community engagement, and generates increased foot traffic to the area, boosting the local economy. During the Festival period, aesthetic treatments along the edges of the pop-up park site can bring a vibrant Western ambiance to the Downtown, such as ornate boxed trees, hay bales, lighting, and other creative enhancements that are both functional and provide a sense of place.

Wanderlust would be responsible for providing the restrooms, which currently incur a monthly fee to the City of Hemet of $600-$750, along with trash disposal, keeping the area clean, and providing a safe environment.

DISCUSSION:

N/A
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:

The City Council approved the Food Truck Festival on March 25, 2025, for eight weeks. Given the success of the Festival, an extension through December 31, 2025, was later granted by the City Council.

 $1,660.66 Día de Los Muertos

City of Hemet
City Council Meeting

STAFF REPORT
Meeting: City Council Meeting - Dec 09 2025
Department: Finance
Submitted by: Mark Prestwich, City Manager
Tiffany Barnett, Administrative Services Director;
☐ Receive and File ☒ Consent Calendar ☐ Business Item ☐ Public Hearing TITLE:

Approve the Successor Agency to the Former Hemet Redevelopment Agency Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule and Administrative Budget for Fiscal Year 2026-27 RECOMMENDED ACTION:

It is respectfully recommended that the Successor Agency to the Former Hemet Redevelopment Agency (“Successor Agency”):

Approve the Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (“ROPS”) and Administrative Budget for July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027 (“2026-27”).

BACKGROUND:

Pursuant to the dissolution of redevelopment agencies per Assembly Bill (“AB”) ABX1 26 (Chapter 5, Statutes of 2011) and ABX1 27 (Chapter 6, Statutes of 2011), and subsequent legislation, AB 1484 (Chapter 26, Statutes of 2012) (altogether, “Dissolution Act”), the City of Hemet (“City”) adopted Resolution No. 4474 on January 10, 2012, electing to serve as the Successor Agency to the former Hemet Redevelopment Agency (“former RDA”). The Successor Agency is required to prepare a ROPS before each 12-month fiscal period.

On September 22, 2015, Governor Brown signed Senate Bill (“SB”) 107, which went into effect immediately. SB 107 made several key changes to the Health and Safety Code (“HSC”) sections that establish the ROPS process (“the Dissolution Law”). On July 1, 2018, local oversight boards established by the Dissolution Law (specifically HSC Sections 34179 to 34181) to oversee successor agencies’ actions were replaced by countywide oversight boards. As of July 1, 2018, the applicable consolidated oversight board overseeing the Successor Agency is called the Countywide Oversight Board for the County of Riverside (“Oversight Board”).

Oversight boards have broad authority to determine meeting dates at which successor agencies must submit items, to set administrative budgets, to approve enforceable obligations, and otherwise to direct the Successor Agency to perform activities to wind down the former redevelopment agencies.

Therefore, after the ROPS 2026-27 and the Administrative Budget are approved by the Successor

19.M.

Agency, the ROPS 2026-27 will be sent to the Oversight Board for approval at its January 15, 2026, meeting.

DISCUSSION:

The City, acting as the Successor Agency, continues to prepare ROPS to ensure the former RDA’s financial obligations are met.

The Successor Agency is being asked to consider approval of the accompanying ROPS 2026-27, attached as Exhibit A, and, once approved, transmit it to the Oversight Board and then the California Department of Finance (“DOF”) to allow for disbursement of revenue to meet upcoming debt service payments and related enforceable obligations.

The ROPS 2026-27 contains the following sections:

1. Summary;

2. Detailed description of requested funding for the upcoming fiscal year;

3. Account of cash balances for Fiscal Year 2023-24; and

4. Notes to explain parts of the ROPS.

In total, the Successor Agency is requesting $1,028,144 in Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Funds (“RPTTF”) and the use of $813,297 in Reserve Balance funds as shown on the ROPS Summary.

These obligations are divided between two periods: 2026-27A and 2026-27B. These two periods correspond to the biannual disbursement of RPTTF dollars from the Riverside County AuditorController (“County A/C”) to the Successor Agency, which occurs in January and June each year. The Successor Agency is requesting funds for the following items:

1. Estimated Fiscal Agent Fees;

2. Tax Allocation Refunding Bond Payments;

3. Riverside County Office of Education Pass Through Settlement Agreement; and

4. Successor Agency Administrative Costs.

Estimated Fiscal Agent Fees
The Successor Agency is required to provide payments to US Bank, the designated fiscal agent for the 2014 Tax Allocation Bond Refunding. The Fiscal Agent holds the accounts for the bonds and makes the debt service payments twice a year. The Successor Agency is requesting $3,600. This payment will continue until the bonds are paid off in 2031.

Tax Allocation Refunding Bond Payment
The Refunding Bonds were issued on December 23, 2014. In accordance with the terms of the bond issuance, the Successor Agency is required to prepare payment for the full calendar year of debt service payments. This includes requesting funding and using reserve funds for two payments totaling $880,569 during Fiscal Year 2026-27 and one payment totaling $832,272 to reserve for Fiscal Year 2027-28.

Hemet Unified School District Certificates of Participation

19.M.

The Hemet Unified School District (“HUSD”) entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with the former RDA on October 23, 1990, for the financing of public school facilities. HUSD has requested that the Successor Agency add an item to ROPS 20-21 for the payment of the following items:
 Agreement for Cooperation Between HUSD, the former RDA, and the City, dated October 12, 1982 (“Passthrough Agreement”);
 Memorandum of Understanding between HUSD and the former RDA, dated October 23, 1990 (“MOU”);
 HUSD’s 2015 Refunding Certificates of Participation in the amount of $16,690,000 and a maturity date of October 1, 2028 (“2015 Refunding COPs”); and  HUSD’s 2019 Refunding Certificates of Participation in the amount of $2,925,000 and a maturity date of October 1, 2031 (“2019 Refunding COPs”).

HUSD makes this request per section 9, page 12 of the MOU, which specifically states:
"For purposes of Section 33675 of the Health and Safety Code, the lease payments with respect to the District's 1990 COPs and payment on any other lease financing arrangements or other obligations incurred by the District for tire purpose of financing School Projects and secured by the District Share shall be deemed to be a debt of the Agency payable from the District Share in satisfaction of the obligations of the Agency under the Amended Cooperation Agreement. The District shall take all necessary action and cooperate fully with the Agency to enable the Agency to list all payments of the District Share as a debt of the Agency on any 'statements of indebtedness' the Agency may be required to file with the Riverside County Auditor-controller under Section 33675 of the Health and Safety Code." (Emph. added.)
The Successor Agency added ROPS Items 16 and 17 to the ROPS in FY 2020-21 as an obligation to ensure the 2015 Refunding COPs and 2019 Refunding COPs continue to be paid even if all other enforceable obligations are retired or paid off before their maturity date. The Successor Agency will, again, request $0 in RPTTF for these items.

Successor Agency Administrative Costs
HSC Section 34177(j) requires the Successor Agency to prepare an Administrative Budget and submit it to the Oversight Board for approval. Per HSC Section 34177, each successor agency is limited to an administrative cost allowance of the greater of $250,000 or 3% of RPTTF distributed for non-administrative obligations in the previous ROPS year. Further, under Section 34171(b)(4), the administrative allowance cannot exceed 50% of RPTTF distributed in the prior fiscal year, excluding the administrative allowance. The Successor Agency had $895,194 in non-administrative RPTTF distributed in the ROPS period covering July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026, allowing the Successor Agency to request a maximum of $250,000. The Successor Agency is only requesting $125,000, of which the total $125,000 will be disbursed on or about July 1, 2026.

Submittal to the California Department of Finance
Dissolution Law requires that the ROPS 2026-27 be approved by the Oversight Board and submitted to DOF, the State Controller’s Office, and the Riverside County Auditor-Controller no later than February 1, 2026. If this deadline is not met, the City of Hemet (as the City, not as the Successor Agency) will be required to pay a $ 10,000-per-day fine.

19.M.

The City and other affected taxing agencies are entitled to receive the balance (“Residual”) of any RPTTF available after each of the two RPTTF distribution periods based on their respective shares.

City of Hemet
City Council Meeting

STAFF REPORT
Meeting: City Council Meeting - Dec 09 2025
Department: Administration
Submitted by: Mark Prestwich, City Manager
Benigno Sandoval, Economic Development Director;
☐ Receive and File ☐ Consent Calendar ☒ Business Item ☐ Public Hearing TITLE:

Consideration by the Hemet City Council of Approving Two Vehicle and Automobile Tax Sharing Program Agreements Between the City of Hemet and Hemet Auto Mall Dealerships Hemet Toyota and Tim Moran Group - Hyundai
RECOMMENDED ACTION:

It is respectfully recommended that the City Council:

Authorize Approval of Two Vehicle and Automobile Tax Sharing Program Agreements Between the City of Hemet and Hemet Auto Mall Dealerships, Hemet Toyota, and Tim Moran Group - Hyundai.

BACKGROUND:

The City of Hemet has adopted a new ordinance to establish a Sales Tax Sharing and Economic Development Program, primarily aimed at supporting automobile and other vehicle dealerships. The City recognizes that these dealerships are crucial for local employment and generate significant sales tax revenue, which funds essential public services like police, fire, and street maintenance. To remain competitive and encourage investment, the City intends to offer legally compliant economic incentives that stimulate capital investment and job growth within its jurisdiction, ensuring the continued viability and modernization of these important businesses.

Under this program, the City Council can approve Sales Tax Sharing Agreements with qualifying dealerships to help reimburse a portion of their "Eligible Costs" for facility upgrades or new construction. These eligible expenses cover significant capital investments such as building renovations, site improvements, ADA compliance, and expansions, but exclude routine maintenance.

Agreements are capped at a percentage of the sales tax generated by the dealership, with a maximum reimbursement of $7.5 million for existing dealerships and $10 million for new ones, over a term not exceeding 20 years. Importantly, these incentives are contingent upon verifiable public benefits and cannot be used to subsidize dealerships relocating from within the City's market area.

To ensure transparency and fiscal responsibility, the program includes a structured application process requiring detailed project descriptions, cost breakdowns, and financial impact analyses. All

19.N.

agreements must demonstrate a clear public benefit, support job creation, and prevent the misuse of public funds. They are subject to public hearings, annual reporting, and performance benchmarks.

The City will closely monitor compliance, reserving the right to audit records and implement "clawback" provisions, which require dealerships to repay funds if they fail to meet obligations or significantly reduce operations within ten years of receiving reimbursement.

ANALYSIS:

The City of Hemet Automobile and Vehicle Dealership Tax Sharing and Economic Development Program is a strategic initiative designed to stimulate economic growth and support the local automotive sector.

The initial outreach for the program was comprehensive. Information about the sales tax sharing opportunity was shared with all existing Hemet auto dealers and extended to a wider audience, including other major vehicle brands not currently represented in Hemet, to attract new businesses.

For the first few months, the program was actively open for inquiries and initial interest. During this time, the City received several preliminary inquiries and held a few meetings to discuss the program's specifics and potential projects with interested parties.

This period of initial inquiry quickly led to concrete proposals. Shortly after the program's opening, the City received two formal applications for consideration. These applications were related to significant renovation projects for existing dealerships. The prompt submission of these two proposals signaled the immediate interest and positive reception of the tax-sharing program, validating the City's proactive approach to economic development within the automotive sector. Those two dealerships looking to expand include Hemet Toyota and the Tim Moran Group - Hyundai.

DISCUSSION:

Vehicle dealerships are fundamental revenue generators, contributing significant local sales tax dollars that directly support the General Fund and the provision of essential municipal services, aligning with the core goals of the Hemet RISES Economic Development Strategy. The automotive sector faces increasing competition from surrounding jurisdictions and the constant need for facility modernization to meet manufacturer standards.

Hemet Toyota has requested $7.5 million under the tax sharing program to facilitate the construction of an expanded service bay. The project duration is estimated to be approximately 1.5 to 2.0 years.

Hemet Toyota estimates 25-30 jobs will be created through this project, and 115 jobs will be retained.

Tim Moran Group - Hyundai has requested $7.5 million to construct a new showroom, remodel its parts and service operation, and install a solar system. The project duration is estimated to be 18 months upon approval of plans by the City of Hemet. Tim Moran Group estimates 35 jobs will be created through this project, and 65 jobs will be retained.

Each agreement will provide reimbursement of 1/2 of the City's 1.0% Bradley-Burns portion of sales tax for up to 20 years or $7.5 million, whichever comes first. No Measure U funds will be utilized for this program.

This program provides a crucial, legally compliant mechanism to incentivize private capital investment in Hemet—specifically for major renovations, expansions, or new construction—thereby retaining and growing our high-value sales tax base.

19.N.

STRATEGIC PLAN INTEGRATION:

GOAL TWO: ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY
To ensure that Hemet is a hub, with access to quality jobs, shopping options, and a varied and sustained tax base.

Objective 1: Develop business practices that welcome new development by streamlining processes.

Objective 2: Provide resources for new businesses to enhance the customer service experience.

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:

Two reimbursements (one for Hemet Toyota and one for Tim Moran Group - Hyundai) not to exceed $7.5 million each for existing dealerships over a period of 20 years, through the Bradley-Burns tax.

Measure U funds will not be utilized. This is forecasted to have an initial combined annual financial impact on City sales tax revenue of approximately $750,000 to $1,000,000 once both projects are complete. However, updated facilities are expected to result in long-term material increases in revenue performance for both dealerships.

ALTERNATIVE(S):

1. Consider approval of only one of the agreements.

2. Provide alternative direction to the City Manager.

SALES TAX SHARING AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
(CITY OF HEMET – VEHICLE DEALERSHIP PROJECT)
This SALES TAX SHARING AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is entered into as of [Pending] (“Effective Date”), by and between the CITY OF HEMET, a California municipal corporation (“City”), and [Tim Moran Auto Group - Hyundai], a [TMAG Hemet Property FH LLC.] (“Dealership”) (collectively, the "Parties" and individually, a "Party").

WHEREAS, City is a municipal corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of California and is authorized to promote the economic well-being of its residents through appropriate economic development programs consistent with the California Constitution and state law.

WHEREAS, City has adopted Article XIV, Sections 18-466 through 18-470 of the Hemet Municipal Code (“HMC”), establishing a Sales Tax Sharing and Economic Development Program (“Program”) to promote the retention, expansion, and continued viability of automobile and other vehicle dealerships within the City’s jurisdiction.

WHEREAS, under the Program, City may enter into sales tax sharing agreements with qualified automobile and other vehicle dealerships to reimburse a portion of eligible facility construction and upgrade costs where doing so (i) provides a demonstrable public benefit, (ii) is fiscally responsible, (iii) supports job creation and economic growth, and (iv) provides a tangible economic return to the City.

WHEREAS, Dealership is a business entity duly licensed by the California Department of Motor Vehicles (or other applicable state agency) to sell new [Automobiles, Off-Road Vehicles, EV’s, Trucks and SUV’s], and operates, or intends to operate, a new-vehicle dealership facility within the City located at [100 Carriage Cir, Hemet, CA 92545] (“Project Site”).

WHEREAS, Dealership proposes to [CONSTRUCT, RECONSTRUCT, EXPAND, and SIGNIFICANTLY UPGRADE] its facility at the Project Site in accordance with this Agreement (collectively, the “Project”). The Project is expected to result in substantial capital investment, increased sales tax revenue to City, [RETENTION / CREATION] of jobs, and enhanced availability of vehicle sales, leasing, and maintenance services to residents and businesses within and around the City.

WHEREAS, City has determined that, absent financial participation by City through this Agreement, the Project may not occur in the manner or within the timeframe contemplated by the Parties, and that participation by City as set forth herein is necessary to facilitate the Project and achieve City’s economic development objectives under the Program.

WHEREAS, City has further determined, based on information and projections provided by Dealership and reviewed by City, that this Agreement is reasonably expected to result in a net public benefit to City, including but not limited to increased sales tax revenue, job creation, private capital investment, and long-term economic stability.

19.N.

WHEREAS, City has considered its obligations under Article XVI, Section 6 of the California Constitution, which prohibits the gift of public funds, and has determined that the consideration provided to City under this Agreement is adequate and that the reimbursements contemplated herein are for a public purpose and not a gift, since they are expressly conditioned on Dealership’s performance of its obligations, produce substantial economic and social benefits to the City and its residents, and are limited to reimbursement of Eligible Costs as defined herein.

WHEREAS, City has complied with all applicable provisions of California Government Code section 53083 concerning economic development subsidies, including preparation of required public reports, public notice, and public hearing, and California Government Code section 53084 concerning economic development incentives for automobile dealerships relocating within a “market area,” if applicable, and the Parties intend that this Agreement be interpreted and implemented consistent with those statutes.

WHEREAS, City receives a portion of sales and use tax pursuant to the Bradley-Burns Uniform Local Sales and Use Tax Law (California Revenue and Taxation Code section 7200 et seq.), including the local 1.0% component of the statewide sales and use tax (“Bradley-Burns Tax”). City has also adopted a voter-approved transactions and use tax known as “Measure U.” Under Article XIV of the HMC, City’s sales tax sharing agreements are based solely on the City’s receipt of Bradley-Burns Tax and expressly exclude any Measure U transactions and use tax revenue.

WHEREAS, City desires to enter into this Agreement with Dealership under the authority of Article XIV of the HMC on the terms and conditions set forth herein, in order to promote the Project and realize the expected public benefits.

WHEREAS, Dealership desires to construct and operate the Project at the Project Site and to receive reimbursement of Eligible Costs, subject to the limitations, conditions, and performance requirements contained in this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

Dealership shall submit to City a schedule of anticipated Eligible Costs together with supporting documentation (e.g., executed construction contracts, bids, estimates) for City’s review and approval. City may approve, conditionally approve, or disapprove specific cost categories as Eligible Costs. In determining whether a cost category qualifies as an Eligible Cost, City may consider, among other factors, whether the cost (i) is reasonably necessary to complete the Project as described in Exhibit A, (ii) materially enhances the capacity, functionality, or useful life of the Project, and (iii) is reasonably anticipated to preserve or increase Sales Tax Revenue to City beyond the levels reasonably expected in the absence of this Agreement. Only those costs approved in writing by City as Eligible Costs shall be eligible for reimbursement. (d) Documentation of Eligible Costs. As a condition of reimbursement, Dealership shall submit to City, at times and in the manner reasonably requested by City, invoices, proof of payment, contracts, and such other records as City may require to verify that the costs claimed as Eligible Costs have been incurred and paid by Dealership and meet the definition of Eligible Costs.

4. SALES TAX SHARING; REIMBURSEMENT MECHANICS
(a) General Obligation. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, City agrees to remit to Dealership, as reimbursement of Eligible Costs, a portion of the Sales Tax Revenue attributable to Dealership Operations during the Term, not to exceed the Sharing Percentage and Reimbursement Amount described in this Section 4 and Exhibit C.

(c) Exclusion of Measure U Revenues. In calculating Sales Tax Revenue and any payments to Dealership under this Agreement, City shall exclude any and all revenue derived from the Hemet Transactions and Use Tax (Measure U) or any successor local transactions and use tax imposed by City pursuant to applicable law. (d) Maximum Reimbursement Amount. In no event shall the aggregate amount of payments made by City to Dealership under this Agreement exceed the Reimbursement Amount of [$7,500,000], and in no event shall the Reimbursement Amount exceed the applicable caps established under HMC Section 18-468(a)(4) for the category of dealership (existing or new) applicable to this Project.

19.N.

(e) Timing of Payments. Subject to verification of Performance Benchmarks and receipt of all information required under this Agreement, City shall calculate the payment due to Dealership for each applicable period within a reasonable time after City’s receipt of Sales Tax Revenue, and shall remit the amount due to Dealership within 60 days after City’s receipt of Sales Tax Revenue and City’s determination of the amount of Sales Tax Revenue attributable to Dealership Operations for that period, to the address designated in Section 14. If for any period the Sales Tax Revenue attributable to Dealership Operations is zero or negative, no payment shall be due for that period.
(f) Conditions to Payment. As a condition to receiving any payment, Dealership shall:

City shall provide written notice to Dealership describing the basis for suspension or withholding and shall engage in good faith efforts to resolve the dispute. No interest shall accrue on any suspended or withheld amounts.

5. IDENTIFICATION AND ATTRIBUTION OF SALES TAX REVENUE
(a) Seller’s Permit and Location Codes. Dealership shall ensure that all sales and uses of vehicles and related goods and services from Dealership Operations at the Project Site are properly reported to the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (“CDTFA”) using the correct seller’s permit number(s) and location code(s) that identify the Project Site within City’s jurisdiction. (b) Cooperation with City. Dealership shall cooperate fully with City in identifying and confirming Sales Tax Revenue attributable to Dealership Operations, including executing any authorizations reasonably required to permit City to obtain sales and use tax allocation and audit information from CDTFA or its successor. (c) Disputes Regarding Attribution. In the event of any dispute regarding the attribution or calculation of Sales Tax Revenue, City’s determination, based on

19.N.

CDTFA records and any applicable audits, shall be final and conclusive, absent demonstrable error.
(d) No Structuring to Divert Tax Allocation. Dealership shall not intentionally structure, process, or record sales or leases of vehicles or related goods and services in a manner designed to divert or shift the allocation of sales or use tax away from the City when, in substance, the transaction arises from Dealership Operations at the Project Site. Without limiting the foregoing, Dealership shall not intentionally process sales or leases through another dealership location, business location, or point of sale outside the City when the vehicle is effectively sold, delivered, or negotiated at the Project Site, except as may be required by applicable law or manufacturer/franchise requirements and disclosed in writing to City.

6. PERFORMANCE BENCHMARKS; PUBLIC BENEFIT
(a) Capital Investment. Dealership shall invest not less than [$5,000,000] in Eligible Costs associated with the Project, as evidenced by invoices, contracts, and proof of payment acceptable to City.
(b) Job Creation and Retention. Dealership shall [create and/or retain] not less than [20] full-time equivalent jobs at the Project Site, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain such employment levels throughout the Term. (c) Facility Operation Standards. Dealership shall:
(i) Maintain continuous Dealership Operations at the Project Site during the Term, subject only to temporary closures for remodeling, casualty repair, or other reasons approved in writing by City;
(ii) Maintain the facility in good repair and in a first-class condition consistent with then-prevailing standards for comparable franchise dealerships in Southern California; and
(iii) Comply with all applicable manufacturer requirements and brand standards that support long-term viability of the dealership.
(d) Commencement of Operations. Dealership shall commence Dealership Operations at the Project Site by no later than [6/30/2026], unless extended in writing by City in its reasonable discretion.
(e) Link to Reimbursement. City’s obligation to make reimbursement payments shall be contingent upon Dealership’s ongoing satisfaction of the Performance Benchmarks. City may reduce, suspend, or terminate payments in whole or in part if Dealership fails to meet or maintain applicable Performance Benchmarks, after notice and opportunity to cure as provided in Section 9.

19.N.

(f) Exhibit D. Additional or more specific Performance Benchmarks, if any, are set forth in Exhibit D.
(g) Quality and Stability of Employment. Dealership shall not intentionally reclassify Employees as independent contractors, or replace Employees with independent contractors or temporary workers, for the primary purpose of satisfying the employment benchmarks of this Agreement while reducing the level of stable employment at the Project Site.

7. REPORTING, RECORDKEEPING, AND AUDIT RIGHTS
(a) Annual Reports by Dealership. During the Term, and for [20] years thereafter for purposes of clawback enforcement, Dealership shall submit to City, on or before [DATE] of each year, an annual report in a form reasonably acceptable to City, which shall include at a minimum:
(i) A summary of Sales Tax Revenue information available to Dealership; (ii) Employment data for the Project Site, including number of employees and job classifications;
(iii) A description of the status of Dealership Operations and Project facilities, including any material changes; and
(iv) Any other information reasonably requested by City to verify compliance with this Agreement and Article XIV.
(b) Books and Records. Dealership shall maintain true, accurate, and complete books and records relating to Sales Tax Revenue, Eligible Costs, employment, and other matters relevant to this Agreement for the Term and for at least [five] years thereafter.
(c) City Audit Rights. City shall have the right, upon reasonable written notice and during normal business hours, to audit and inspect Dealership’s books and records, including but not limited to documents evidencing Eligible Costs and information necessary to verify compliance with Performance Benchmarks and this Agreement.

City may utilize third-party auditors or consultants as necessary; provided that City shall require such third parties to maintain the confidentiality of any proprietary or trade secret information to the extent permitted by law. (d) Consequences of Non-Cooperation. Failure by Dealership to provide required reports, books, records, or access for audit as required under this Section 7 shall constitute a default under this Agreement and may result in suspension of payments, termination, and/or clawback as provided in Section 9.

8. COMPLIANCE WITH GOVERNMENT CODE SECTIONS 53083 AND 53084

19.N.

(a) Economic Development Subsidy Reporting (Gov. Code § 53083). City shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, any required economic development subsidy report(s) and shall comply with all public notice, public hearing, and posting requirements of Government Code section 53083, as may be amended, in connection with this Agreement. Dealership shall cooperate with City by providing timely and accurate information reasonably requested by City for inclusion in such reports within ten (10) business days of City's request, or such other time period as City may specify in writing.
(b) Market Area Restrictions; Relocation (Gov. Code § 53084). Dealership represents and warrants that (i) the Project does not involve an unlawful economic development subsidy that would result in the relocation of an automobile dealership from another local agency within the “market area” of City as defined by Government Code section 53084 or other applicable law, and (ii) Dealership has disclosed to City in writing any and all prior locations of Dealership operations within California during the preceding five (5) years. This representation and warranty shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and shall be deemed remade as of each date that City makes a payment to Dealership hereunder. (c) Indemnity for Relocation Claims. Dealership shall indemnify, defend (with counsel reasonably approved by City), and hold harmless City and its officers, officials, employees, and agents from and against any and all claims, actions, liabilities, damages, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) arising out of or related to any allegation that this Agreement violates Government Code section 53084 or constitutes an unlawful subsidy for a relocating dealership, except to the extent caused by City’s sole active negligence, willful misconduct, or breach of this Agreement.

9. DEFAULT; TERMINATION; CLAWBACK
(a) Events of Default. Each of the following shall constitute an event of default by Dealership:
(i) Failure to pay, perform, or observe any material obligation under this Agreement, including but not limited to failure to satisfy Performance Benchmarks, failure to maintain required books and records, or failure to submit required reports;
(ii) Submission of materially false or misleading information in connection with this Agreement;

SALES TAX SHARING AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
(CITY OF HEMET – VEHICLE DEALERSHIP PROJECT)
This SALES TAX SHARING AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is entered into as of [Pending] (“Effective Date”), by and between the CITY OF HEMET, a California municipal corporation (“City”), and Toyota of Hemet], a [Pradera Way LLC.] (“Dealership”) (collectively, the "Parties" and individually, a "Party").

WHEREAS, City is a municipal corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of California and is authorized to promote the economic well-being of its residents through appropriate economic development programs consistent with the California Constitution and state law.

WHEREAS, City has adopted Article XIV, Sections 18-466 through 18-470 of the Hemet Municipal Code (“HMC”), establishing a Sales Tax Sharing and Economic Development Program (“Program”) to promote the retention, expansion, and continued viability of automobile and other vehicle dealerships within the City’s jurisdiction.

WHEREAS, under the Program, City may enter into sales tax sharing agreements with qualified automobile and other vehicle dealerships to reimburse a portion of eligible facility construction and upgrade costs where doing so (i) provides a demonstrable public benefit, (ii) is fiscally responsible, (iii) supports job creation and economic growth, and (iv) provides a tangible economic return to the City.

WHEREAS, Dealership is a business entity duly licensed by the California Department of Motor Vehicles (or other applicable state agency) to sell new [Automobiles, Off-Roading Vehicles and Trucks], and operates, or intends to operate, a new-vehicle dealership facility within the City located at [350 Carriage Cir, Hemet, CA 92545] (“Project Site”).

WHEREAS, Dealership proposes to [CONSTRUCT, RECONSTRUCT, EXPAND, and SIGNIFICANTLY UPGRADE] its facility at the Project Site in accordance with this Agreement (collectively, the “Project”). The Project is expected to result in substantial capital investment, increased sales tax revenue to City, [RETENTION / CREATION] of jobs, and enhanced availability of vehicle sales, leasing, and maintenance services to residents and businesses within and around the City.

WHEREAS, City has determined that, absent financial participation by City through this Agreement, the Project may not occur in the manner or within the timeframe contemplated by the Parties, and that participation by City as set forth herein is necessary to facilitate the Project and achieve City’s economic development objectives under the Program.

WHEREAS, City has further determined, based on information and projections provided by Dealership and reviewed by City, that this Agreement is reasonably expected to result in a net public benefit to City, including but not limited to increased sales tax revenue, job creation, private capital investment, and long-term economic stability.

19.N.

WHEREAS, City has considered its obligations under Article XVI, Section 6 of the California Constitution, which prohibits the gift of public funds, and has determined that the consideration provided to City under this Agreement is adequate and that the reimbursements contemplated herein are for a public purpose and not a gift, since they are expressly conditioned on Dealership’s performance of its obligations, produce substantial economic and social benefits to the City and its residents, and are limited to reimbursement of Eligible Costs as defined herein.

WHEREAS, City has complied with all applicable provisions of California Government Code section 53083 concerning economic development subsidies, including preparation of required public reports, public notice, and public hearing, and California Government Code section 53084 concerning economic development incentives for automobile dealerships relocating within a “market area,” if applicable, and the Parties intend that this Agreement be interpreted and implemented consistent with those statutes.

WHEREAS, City receives a portion of sales and use tax pursuant to the Bradley-Burns Uniform Local Sales and Use Tax Law (California Revenue and Taxation Code section 7200 et seq.), including the local 1.0% component of the statewide sales and use tax (“Bradley-Burns Tax”). City has also adopted a voter-approved transactions and use tax known as “Measure U.” Under Article XIV of the HMC, City’s sales tax sharing agreements are based solely on the City’s receipt of Bradley-Burns Tax and expressly exclude any Measure U transactions and use tax revenue.

WHEREAS, City desires to enter into this Agreement with Dealership under the authority of Article XIV of the HMC on the terms and conditions set forth herein, in order to promote the Project and realize the expected public benefits.

WHEREAS, Dealership desires to construct and operate the Project at the Project Site and to receive reimbursement of Eligible Costs, subject to the limitations, conditions, and performance requirements contained in this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

8. COMPLIANCE WITH GOVERNMENT CODE SECTIONS 53083 AND 53084 (a) Economic Development Subsidy Reporting (Gov. Code § 53083). City shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, any required economic development subsidy report(s) and shall comply with all public notice, public hearing, and posting requirements of Government Code section 53083, as may be amended, in

(v) Insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, or assignment for the benefit of creditors; provided, however, that the filing of a voluntary petition in bankruptcy under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code by Dealership shall not automatically constitute an event of default if Dealership continues to perform its material obligations hereunder and the bankruptcy court approves this Agreement as an executory contract within sixty (60) days of the filing.
(b) Notice and Cure. Upon the occurrence of any event of default, City shall provide written notice to Dealership describing the nature of the default. Dealership shall have thirty (30) calendar days from receipt of such notice to cure the default, or such longer period as City may approve in writing if the default is not reasonably curable within thirty (30) calendar days and Dealership commences and diligently pursues cure.
(c) Remedies. If Dealership fails to cure a default within the applicable cure period, City may, in its sole discretion and in addition to any other remedies available at law or in equity:
(i) Suspend or terminate City’s obligation to make any future payments under this Agreement;
(ii) Terminate this Agreement by written notice; and/or (iii) Demand repayment of all or a portion of the funds previously paid to Dealership (“Clawback Amount”), together with interest at the lesser of (i) five percent (5%) per annum or (ii) the maximum rate permitted under California law, from the date of City’s payment until repaid. (d) Clawback for Cessation or Reduction of Operations. If Dealership ceases operations, reduces operations, or otherwise materially diminishes business activity at the Project Site within ten (10) years of receiving any reimbursement under this Agreement, without City’s prior written authorization, Dealership shall be obligated to repay to City all funds received under this Agreement. For purposes of this Section, “reduction of operations” shall mean a decline of more than twentyfive percent (25%) in revenue, employment, or facility utilization sustained for a period of at least six (6) consecutive months, as determined by City. City shall provide written notice to Dealership of any determination that a reduction of operations has occurred and allow Dealership thirty (30) days to respond before exercising remedies.
(e) Survival. The provisions of this Section 9, including clawback and repayment obligations, shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement for a period of ten (10) years from the date of the last payment made by City to Dealership hereunder, or until all obligations have been satisfied, whichever occurs first.

19.N.

10. ASSIGNMENT; CHANGE IN OWNERSHIP

(b) Change in Ownership or Franchise. Any sale, transfer, or other change in ownership or control of Dealership, or any change in franchise agreement or manufacturer relationship that materially affects Dealership Operations, shall be subject to City’s prior written approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld if City determines that the successor entity has the financial and operational capacity to satisfy the obligations under this Agreement and that the public benefits will be preserved.
(c) Conditions to Consent. As a condition to granting consent to assignment or change in ownership, City may require the proposed assignee or successor to assume in writing all obligations of Dealership under this Agreement and to provide such financial information, guarantees, or security as City reasonably deems necessary.

City of Hemet
City Council Meeting

STAFF REPORT
Meeting: City Council Meeting - Dec 09 2025
Department: City Council
Submitted by: Jaculin "Jackie" Peterson, Mayor;
☐ Receive and File ☐ Consent Calendar ☒ Business Item ☐ Public Hearing TITLE:

Authorization of the Mayor's Correspondence Regarding the Annexation Petition; Consideration of a Resolution Establishing an Annexation Citizen Review Committee (ACRC) to Review the Hemet United Plan of Service for the Proposed Annexation Territory and To Make Recommendations to the City Council
RECOMMENDED ACTION:

It is respectfully recommended that the City Council:

Mayor Peterson requests that the City Council authorize the Mayor to issue correspondence on behalf of the City Council to the leadership of the "Hemet United" petition, the Riverside Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO), and the County of Riverside.

Alternative Motion - Formation of Citizen Review Committee Should the City Council decline to request a withdrawal of the petition, or should the petitioners refuse to rescind their submission, it is alternatively recommended that the City Council direct the immediate formation of an "Annexation Citizen Review Committee."
BACKGROUND:

While this correspondence should reaffirm the City Council’s position that annexation of the Hemet Sphere of Influence is the probable future boundary of the City of Hemet based on prior LAFCO evaluation and determination and eventually remedy irregular jurisdictional boundaries (e.g. splitting of Florida east of Columbia Street), ensure appropriate coordination of future development and integration with existing transportation corridors, as well as efficient delivery of public services, the correspondence shall formally request that the petitioners withdraw their petition and shall state the desire of the Council that any future large-scale annexation proposal originate with the City, so that the City Council can ensure dialogue between County residents and City leadership regarding the optimal timing for unification, ensuring that any future boundary adjustments do not disrupt the City’s current strategic objectives.

20.A.

This body shall be comprised of four residents from the City of Hemet and four residents from the proposed annexation territory, with a retired neutral judge serving as the appointed chairperson. The mandate of this Committee shall be to conduct an independent, rigorous review of the petitionerprepared Plan of Services to ensure fiscal viability and service levels meet or exceed existing service levels before any formal City Council consideration. It is anticipated that the creation of this Committee will require a significant allocation of internal resources to provide sufficient staff support, subject-matter expertise, and analysis to support multiple meetings over the course of several months. The City Council should anticipate negative impacts to City staff’s ability to complete the current (and future) Fiscal Year Strategic Plan Action Items on the schedule approved by the City Council.

ANALYSIS:

The City’s Strategic Framework: From Recovery to Revitalization The City of Hemet is currently executing a disciplined, multi-year strategic framework designed to transition the organization from its former posture of fiscal survival in the late 2010s to one of strategic investment. This framework, which has been supported by the voter adoption of Measure U and the City Council’s adoption of programs such as Hemet RISES (Resurgent Investment Strategy for Economic Success) initiative, as well as successive iterations of the City’s Strategic Plan, relies on mutually reinforcing pillars of operational excellence, economic reinvestment, support for public safety, and quality of life restoration. For more information on recent accomplishments, please view the Mayor's 2025 State of the City Presentation on the following link:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKcFErJbwpU
After years of structural deficits during the 2010s, the City has recently achieved a record $72 million budget reserve. This stability has been carefully created and guarded to fund robust staffing in public safety (including the highest number of sworn police officer positions in 15 years) and long-overdue maintenance to public facilities. A notable example of this vision can be found in the "Safe & Clean Streets" initiative, which is currently delivering the most aggressive pavement rehabilitation program in recent City history. Simultaneously, the City is actively deploying resources to diversify its tax base through the implementation of complex financial incentive agreements like the Hemet Auto Mall incentives, the Kitchen Grant program, Transient Occupancy Tax sharing agreements, and future Development Agreements at the Hemet Stock Farm, as well as the City-owned Sanderson/Stetson property. Finally, at the direction of the City Council, City staff have been focused on quality of life initiatives such as Weston Park Revitalization, refreshing Simpson Park, and advancing soccer field development at Diamond Valley Lake. These are not just strategic achievements but active ongoing projects that require staff oversight to deliver the projected revenue growth and community benefits.

Furthermore, the Council has directed staff to focus on high-visibility community assets, requiring significant administrative bandwidth, including the restoration of the Hemet Theater.

Operational Capacity and Resource Allocation
While the annexation of the existing Sphere of Influence (SOI) represents the logical long-term unification of our community’s portion of the Hemet Valley, the process required to evaluate it at this specific time presents a significant operational challenge. Unlike a City-initiated annexation, which is calibrated in both time and scope to align with municipal strategic vision, a voter-initiated petition introduces a substantial, unscheduled workload on the organization.

20.A.

Processing a "Plan of Services" for a territory expansion of this magnitude triggers a cascade of statutory requirements that must be managed by existing staff. This includes the preparation of comprehensive fiscal impact analyses to verify revenue effects across thousands of parcels, planning for providing the full services of the City to an area that has relied only on County services for its entire history, and the integration of County land use designations with the City’s Zoning and General Plan. These statutory obligations are rigorous and time-consuming, requiring a level of administrative focus that is currently allocated to the City Council-directed strategic initiatives outlined in the FY 2025/26 Action Plan.

While City staff continue executing the City Council’s Strategic Plan to advance City Council goals, it is simply not feasible to achieve everything at once. The City’s current success has been achieved through focused execution, including listing meaningful, achievable goals each fiscal year, funding the resources to achieve those goals, and then executing over the course of the fiscal year, when the City Council takes stock of what has been accomplished and sets the next year’s priorities.

The City organization is currently optimized to deliver specific, high-priority projects regarding infrastructure, public safety, and economic development. The administrative weight of a large annexation effort creates a risk of strategic dilution, forcing a reallocation of the very staff and financial resources that are currently driving the City’s progress.

The concern is not the merit of unification, but the opportunity cost of the process. To pivot resources toward a complex annexation review at this juncture may inadvertently decelerate the momentum of the City Council-directed initiatives. By pausing the petition process, the City ensures that future expansion occurs from a position of strength, at a time and in places of the City Council’s choosing, rather than risking the stability that currently benefits the entire valley.

DISCUSSION:

Exploration of Consensus-Driven Progress
While the Mayor recommends requesting a voluntary rescission by the petitioners of the current petition to protect the City's operational momentum, the City Council may wish to explore constructive alternatives that acknowledge the goal of unification without accepting the immediate administrative burdens of the current proposal. In addition to the Mayor’s recommendation, the Mayor also encourages Council-led discussion of alternate pathways that would allow for a more controlled and risk-mitigated approach to unifying our community, such as collaborative service-delivery with the County, greater coordination on land-use and code enforcement matters, and efforts at pavement rehabilitation along jointly-administered streets.

Should the Council determine that the annexation process should proceed, it is imperative that the review process be insulated from political pressure and administrative bias. The Mayor proposes the formation of a Citizen Review Committee to act as a neutral reviewer of the "Plan of Services." This body would be composed of equal representation from both the City and the proposed annexation territory, anchored by a neutral, retired judge of the superior court appointed to ensure objective governance. The Committee would be charged with the rigorous validation of all fiscal assumptions, ensuring that the proposed revenues are sufficient to maintain current City service levels. By delegating the detailed review to this body, the City Council ensures that any future decision integrates robust citizen review and is based on verified data, while acknowledging that Council

20.A.

direction will necessarily require reallocation of resources from desired current and future Strategic Plan initiatives.

PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:

The City Council received a presentation on March 25, 2025, about the Hemet United Petition for Annexation.

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

An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Hemet, California, Adding Sections 53-15, 53-16, and 53-17 to Chapter 53 (Personal Conduct), Article I (Disorderly Conduct) of the Hemet Municipal Code to Prohibit Littering and Illegal Dumping and Establish Property Maintenance Standards RECOMMENDED ACTION:

It is respectfully recommended that the City Council:

1. Introduce by title only for first reading an Ordinance of the City of Hemet, California, Adding Sections 53-15, 53-16, and 53-17 to Chapter 53 (Personal Conduct), Article I (Disorderly Conduct) of the Hemet Municipal Code to prohibit littering and illegal dumping, to establish maintenance standards for refuse storage and collection areas, and to enhance enforcement authority for abatement and cost recovery; and

2. Direct the City Clerk to place the Ordinance on the Consent Calendar for the next Regular Meeting for Second Reading and Adoption.

BACKGROUND:

Littering and illegal dumping have been persistent concerns in the City of Hemet, contributing to neighborhood and commercial center deterioration, visual blight, and health and safety hazards.

These activities impose measurable costs on the City’s Code Compliance and Public Works Divisions, which routinely conduct abatement operations in alleys, parkways, and vacant properties.

Such conditions also compromise the City’s compliance with State and federal stormwater regulations by introducing pollutants and debris into the municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4) and local waterways.

While existing provisions of the Hemet Municipal Code prohibit nuisances and provide certain abatement remedies, they do not clearly define littering and dumping as discrete offenses or specify the corresponding duties of property owners, tenants, and property management companies to maintain refuse storage and disposal areas in a sanitary condition. The absence of codified standards has limited the City’s ability to pursue consistent enforcement, particularly against chronic offenders and commercial operations that fail to provide adequate waste and recycling services.

20.B.

The proposed Ordinance directly advances the City Council’s FY 2025-26 Strategic Plan by establishing the necessary legal framework to implement Action Items #5, #21, and #23. To address Action Items #5 ("Fine Property Management Companies for Litter") and #23 ("Property Management Substandard Residential 30-Day Fines"), the Ordinance explicitly defines property management companies as "Responsible Persons" under Section 53-17, imposing a clear duty under Section 53- 16 to maintain premises free of litter and remediate substandard refuse storage conditions.

Furthermore, the Ordinance facilitates Action Item #21 ("Litter Residential 30 Day Fine and Retail 7 Day Fine") by codifying strict-liability enforcement standards and authorizing administrative citation processes, thereby empowering Code Compliance to issue proportional penalties and immediate abatement orders to offenders.

ANALYSIS:

The proposed ordinance directly addresses these gaps by adding Sections 53-15, 53-16, and 53-17 to Chapter 53 of the Hemet Municipal Code.

Section 53-15 expressly prohibits littering in any public place or on private property without consent and prohibits dumping or depositing of waste, recyclables, or debris into public litter baskets or private receptacles without authorization.

Section 53-16 establishes a duty for all property owners, occupants, and property management companies to maintain their premises and adjoining areas free of litter and to provide refuse, recycling, and organics containers adequate in size, number, and service frequency to prevent overflow, spillage, and odor.

Section 53-17 provides strict-liability enforcement standards, identifies “Responsible Persons” consistent with Hemet Municipal Code Section 1-20, and authorizes both administrative and criminal enforcement mechanisms. Violations may be cited through administrative processes or prosecuted as misdemeanors or infractions. The ordinance allows City officials to issue immediate abatement orders when necessary to protect public health and safety and provides for full cost recovery, including inspection, cleanup, and lien authority. These provisions ensure accountability among property owners, tenants, property management companies, and contractors while reinforcing community standards of cleanliness and maintenance.

The ordinance aligns with existing solid-waste and stormwater regulatory frameworks and complements Chapter 62 (Solid Waste) and Chapter 90 (Zoning) of the Municipal Code. It also supports the City’s obligations under its NPDES permit and the State’s litter reduction initiatives.

DISCUSSION:

The proposed ordinance represents a comprehensive approach to addressing littering, dumping, and associated property maintenance deficiencies. By creating clear, enforceable standards, the ordinance empowers enforcement officers to respond quickly and proportionally to violations, from minor littering to large-scale dumping operations. It establishes responsibility not only for those who directly dump materials but also for those who own or manage property where violations occur. In this way, the ordinance strengthens community accountability while ensuring due process through existing administrative citation and appeal procedures.
