Status Report on the Kitchen Grant Program
RECOMMENDED ACTION:

It is respectfully recommended that the City Council receive and file the status report regarding the City of Hemet Kitchen Grant Program.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The City of Hemet established the Kitchen Grant Program as an economic development initiative intended to encourage restaurant development, support local businesses, create employment opportunities, and strengthen Hemet's culinary and commercial environment.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:

The initial Downtown Kitchen Grant Program was launched in April 2025 and focused on businesses within the Hemet Downtown District area, with preference for improvements along Florida Avenue.

The program provided eligible businesses with grant funding of up to $300,000 for qualifying commercial kitchen improvements. Applicants were required to demonstrate a minimum 20 percent financial commitment toward their projects.

In February 2026, the City announced a second application round with approximately $1,000,000 available for grant awards and anticipated awards of up to $300,000 per project.

The program operates primarily on a reimbursement basis. Eligible costs may include commercial kitchen construction and infrastructure, plumbing and electrical improvements, ventilation and hood systems, refrigeration, commercial cooking equipment, grease traps, sinks, and other improvements necessary to establish or expand restaurant operations.

Approved projects are also eligible for exemptions from applicable City Planning and Building permit fees. Fees imposed by the State of California or other outside agencies are not included in the City's fee exemption.

Under the City's program requirements, grant recipients must comply with the terms of their grant agreements and obtain all necessary permits and approvals before or during construction, as applicable.

For the original Downtown Kitchen Grant, approved work could begin following execution of the grant agreement and issuance of necessary permits. Projects were required to be completed within the applicable performance period, generally within 18 months, unless an extension was authorized.

City staff is responsible for verifying that improvements comply with approved plans and grant requirements before grant funds are released. The reimbursement structure is intended to protect City funds by requiring documentation of eligible project costs and completion of approved improvements.

Staff will continue coordinating with each grant recipient and the appropriate City departments to facilitate completion of approved projects while ensuring compliance with the terms and conditions of each grant agreement. Staff will provide additional updates to the City Council as projects reach significant milestones or if Council action is required.

A Resolution Awarding a Construction Contract to Gentry General Engineering, Inc. for the Catch Basin Trash Capture Device Installation, CIP No. 5730
RECOMMENDED ACTION:

It is respectfully recommended that the City Council adopt the following resolution (Attachment 1):

RESOLUTION NO. 2026-159 – A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF

HEMET, CALIFORNIA, AWARDING THE CATCH BASIN TRASH CAPTURE DEVICE INSTALLATION PROJECT, CIP NO. 5730, TO GENTRY GENERAL ENGINEERING, INC. IN THE AMOUNT OF $227,919.00; WAIVING A MINOR BID IRREGULARITY RELATED TO THE FAILURE TO NOTARIZE CERTAIN BID DOCUMENT SIGNATURES; AUTHORIZING A 10% CONSTRUCTION CONTINGENCY IN THE AMOUNT OF $22,791.90; AND AUTHORIZING THE

CITY MANAGER, OR DESIGNEE, TO EXECUTE THE AGREEMENT AND RELATED

DOCUMENTS IN A FORM APPROVED BY THE CITY ATTORNEY
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

Staff recommends awarding the construction contract (Attachment 4) for the Catch Basin Trash Capture Device Installation, CIP No. 5730, to Gentry General Engineering, Inc., the apparent low bidder, in the amount of $227,919.00. The project will install approximately 113 Full Capture Devices in designated City catch basins. During the City's review of the bid documents, staff identified that certain required bid document signatures were not notarized; however, the bid bond was properly executed and notarized. Staff considers the failure to notarize the remaining identified signatures to be a minor bid irregularity that does not affect the bid amount, the bidder's commitment to perform the work, or provide the bidder with a competitive advantage, and recommends that the City Council waive the irregularity and determine Gentry General Engineering, Inc.'s bid to be responsive. Staff further recommends authorizing a 10% construction contingency of $22,791.90, for a total construction authorization not to exceed $250,710.90. The bid comparison is included as Attachment 2, and Gentry General Engineering, Inc.’s submitted bid is included as Attachment 3.

SB 1439 / LEVINE ACT: GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 84308 APPLICABILITY:

This agenda item may involve a contract, franchise, license, permit, land use approval, or other discretionary entitlement for use subject to Government Code section 84308. Councilmembers should review their campaign contribution records to determine whether they have received campaign contributions totaling more than $500 within the preceding 12 months from any party, participant, or other person whose contribution may be attributable under the Levine Act and FPPC regulations. If applicable, Councilmembers must disclose the contribution on the record and determine whether recusal or other compliance action is required. Applicants, contractors, and other parties or participants are also reminded of their disclosure obligations under Government Code section 84308 and applicable FPPC regulations.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:

In 2015, the California State Water Resources Control Board adopted statewide Trash Amendments to establish consistent requirements for reducing trash discharged to state waters. The Trash Amendments apply to municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4) permittees and provide for Full Capture Systems as a primary compliance approach. A certified Full Capture System is a treatment control, or series of treatment controls, that traps all trash particles 5 millimeters or greater and has a design treatment capacity of not less than the peak flow rate resulting from a one-year, one-hour storm event in the applicable subdrainage area, or is appropriately sized and designed to carry at least the same flows as the corresponding storm drain. Trash treatment systems installed after December 2, 2015, must be certified by the State Water Resources Control Board Executive Director, or designee, before installation.

The City solicited competitive bids for the Catch Basin Trash Capture Device Installation, Capital Improvement Project No. 5730. The project generally consists of furnishing and installing 113 full trash capture devices in City catch basins, together with associated traffic and pedestrian control and related work required by the contract documents. The bid documents were issued on July 30, 2026, and bids were due August 27, 2026, at 3:30 p.m. A total of 799 vendors were notified of the solicitation, and the project was also advertised in the Press-Enterprise on August 2, 2026. The City received six bids.

DISCUSSION:

Bidder Bid Amount Rank
Gentry General Engineering,
Inc.
$227,919.00 1
Downstream Services, Inc. $238,342.00 2
Vet Corps Contracting, Inc. $287,080.00 3
US Builders & Consultants $334,800.00 4
J&L Constructors Inc. $418,733.92 5
Baltazar Construction, Inc. $422,322.00 6
The City received six bids for the project. Based on the bid comparison, Gentry General Engineering, Inc. submitted the apparent low bid of $227,919.00. A complete bid comparison is included in Attachment 2.

Page 2 of 66 ends

18.B.

Page 134 of 410 ends

Award of this contract will allow the City to continue implementation of structural trash-control improvements within the municipal storm drain system. Full Capture Devices are an important component of the City's compliance efforts under California's statewide Trash Amendments because they intercept trash before it is conveyed through the storm drain system and discharged to downstream receiving waters. Certified Full Capture Systems are designed to trap trash particles 5 millimeters or greater and must be hydraulically sized in accordance with State Water Resources Control Board requirements.

The 2026/27 project will install 113 Full Capture Devices at designated catch basin locations. These improvements provide a long-term, structural method of reducing trash in the storm drain system and support the City's ongoing stormwater compliance program. In addition to regulatory compliance, the devices help reduce litter transported from City streets into downstream waterways during storm events.

Gentry General Engineering, Inc.'s bid identifies a total contract amount of $227,919.00, acknowledges Addenda Nos. 1 through 5, includes a 10% bid bond, and identifies California contractor license number 974279. During the City's responsiveness review, staff identified that certain signatures required by the bid documents were not notarized. The bid bond, however, was properly executed and notarized. Staff, in consultation with the City Attorney, determined that the omitted notarizations do not affect the bid price, scope, bidder's legal commitment to perform, or provide Gentry General Engineering, Inc. with a competitive advantage over other bidders.

Accordingly, staff recommends that the City Council waive the omission as a minor bid irregularity and determine Gentry General Engineering, Inc.'s bid to be responsive.

Staff also recommends a 10% construction contingency of $22,791.90. Construction within existing catch basins and storm drain infrastructure can involve field conditions that are not fully apparent until work begins. The contingency provides the City with the ability to address unforeseen site conditions, minor quantity adjustments, or other necessary changes while keeping expenditures within the amount authorized by the City Council. With the contingency, the total construction authorization would not exceed $250,710.90.

Approval of the recommended action will authorize the City Manager, or designee, to execute the construction agreement and related documents, in a form approved by the City Attorney, and will allow staff to proceed with construction in accordance with the project plans, specifications, and available budget.

PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:

The City Council most recently approved CIP 5730 as part of the five-year capital improvement program adopted on July 14, 2026 for fiscal years 2026/27 - 2030/31.

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.

Page 3 of 66 ends

Page 135 of 410 ends

FISCAL IMPACT:

The construction contract amount is $227,919.00. A 10% construction contingency in the amount of $22,791.90 results in a total construction authorization not to exceed $250,710.90.

Funding for this project is available in CIP No. 5730 from Account No. 254.10.5000.65500.5730S.

Sufficient appropriation is available in the project account to fund the recommended contract and contingency. No additional appropriation is requested as part of this action.

ALTERNATIVE(S):

1. Do not approve awarding the construction contract to Gentry General Engineering, Inc.

2. Provide alternative direction to the City Manager.

BASEBIDTOTAL (in words)
Contractor's Initials
ADDITIVEA BIDITEMS TOTAL (in words)
In the event of a variation between the unit price and extended total, the unit price will be used and the corrected extension will be considered as the amount bid. Ifthe bid is illegible and cannot be reconciled it will be considered non-responsive and will not be considered for award.

If an additive and/oralternate bid schedule is called for in the Contract Documents, the lowest bid will be determined on the basis of the base bid schedule(s) only unless otherwise specified in the Notice Inviting Bids or by Addenda if issued to supersede the Notice Inviting Bids on this specific issue.

For a Contract where a deductive bid schedule is called for, the lowest bid will be determined by the total of all bid schedules including the deductive bid schedule(s).

Regardless of whether the additive/deductiveor alternates bid items will be considered in determining the low bid, the Agency may elect to include any or none of the additive/ or alternate bid items/schedules, or to otherwise add or remove certain workdeductive from the scope of Work. Accordingly, Contractor warrants that each bid item contains a proportionate share of profit, overhead and other costs and expenses, which will be incurred by the Contractor for the Project.

If equal low bids are received from responsible and responsive bidders the selection shall be made by drawing lots, or other similar random blind method selected by the Agency. Ifonly one responsive bid is received from a responsible bidder the award shall not be made unless the price can be determined to be reasonable based on an analysis by the Agency. The Agency’s determination as to the reasonableness of any such bid shall be final.

The Agency reserves the right to reject any or all bids, to waive any irregularity(ies), and to take all bids under advisement for a period of sixty (60) calendar days after the date the bids are publicly opened. Bidder acknowledges that all costs incurred as a result of preparing the proposal shall be the sole responsibility of Bidder. The Notice Inviting Bids and Instructions to Bidders does not create or impose any obligation upon the Agency to enter into a contract.

All bids received shall be recorded on an abstract (tabulation) of bids, and then made available for public inspection within two business days of bid opening. ‘SCVcn

In consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein, Agency and Contractor have mutually agreed as follows:

1. CONSTRUCTION
The Contractor agrees to do all the Work in connection with the 2026/27 Catch Basin Trash Capture Device Installation - CIP 5730 to be constructed at locations listed on the Notice Inviting Bids, in the City of Hemet, California, including to furnish any and all labor, services, materials and equipment to construct and complete the Project, and appurtenant work in connection therewith, said work to be done and materials to be furnished in strict conformity with the Contract Documents, including but not limited to this Agreement, approved Change Orders, Notice Inviting Bids, Instructions to Bidders, Bidder’s Proposal and Information Required for Bid Submittal, Bid Schedules, Addenda and/or Bulletins, plans, Special Provisions (Specifications), General Conditions, General Provisions, Greenbook 2024 as amended and supplemented, technical references, all other referenced documents, all codes, permit conditions and regulations, for the total amount(s) and any unit prices and additive/deductive items, including all work, labor, services, materials and equipment described and reasonably inferable from documents enumerated in Exhibit “A” attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference (such construction and furnishing of labor, service, materials and equipment hereinafter referred to as the “Work”) in a good workmanlike manner according to any and all applicable best practices to the satisfaction of the Agency. The term Contract Documents shall mean this Agreement, and all of the items enumerated in Exhibit “A” and all change orders or addenda issued by the Agency with respect thereto. Agency must consent in writing to any changes in the scope of Work. Exhibit “A” shall be deemed revised in accordance with any revisions for which Agency’s consent has been issued.

Page 179 of 410 ends

3 Project No. 5730
a) Time is of the essence in Contractor’s performance of the Work for this Agreement. Contractor agrees to diligently pursue the performance and completion of the Work in every detail to the satisfaction of the Agency, exclusive of maintenance periods, within the specified duration set forth in the Notice to Proceed. All timing requirements shall be strictly adhered to unless otherwise modified by the Agency in accordance with the Bid and Contract Documents.
b) The Parties estimate that performance of this Agreement will not exceed the Not to Exceed Amount. Contractor shall notify the Agency in writing whenever it has reason to believe that the costs the Contractor expects to incur under this Agreement in the following sixty (60) days, when added to all costs previously incurred, will exceed eighty percent (80%) of the Maximum Amount specified herein. As part of the notification, the Contractor shall provide the Agency a revised estimate of the total cost of performing this Agreement.

4. DELAYS AND EXTENSIONS OF TIME
a) Delays and extensions of time will be handled by Agency and Contractor pursuant to the provisions of Section 6-4 of the Special Provisions. However, Contractor must comply with the written notice requirement, as well as timely report back-up information, in strict compliance with the requirements of the provisions of Section 6-4 of the Special Provisions; Contractor’s failure to submit these items within the times specified will constitute a waiver of the extension of time and payment for delay and will be ground for refusal by the Agency to consider such request.
b) Response to Requests for Information (RFIs). Agency shall respond to Contractor’s written Requests for information (RFIs) within ten (10) business days of receipt by the Agency’s authorized representative. If Agency fails to respond within this timeframe and such delay impacts the critical path of the Work or prevents Contractor from proceeding with affected Work, Contractor may be entitled to an extension of time in accordance with Section 6-4 of the Special Provisions, provided Contractor complies with all notice requirements set forth therein. Agency’s failure to respond to an RFI shall not relieve Contractor of its obligation to complete the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents, nor shall it constitute approval of any means, methods, or materials proposed in the RFI.

5. LABOR CODE REQUIREMENTS
Pursuant to Labor Code Section 1771.1, the Contractor and all subcontractors shall be registered with the Department of Industrial Relations. Pursuant to Labor Code Section 1771.4, the Contractor is hereby notified that this Project is subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement by the Department of Industrial Relations.

thereof, in which the worker is paid less than the prevailing rates. Contractor may also be liable to pay the difference between the prevailing wage rates and the amount paid to each worker for each calendar day, or portion thereof, for which each worker was paid less than the prevailing wage rate.

Contractor acknowledges and agrees to abide by the provisions of California Labor Code §§ 1720, et seq., as well as 1771, 1773, 1773.1, 1773.2, 1773.6, 1773.7, 1774, 1775, 1776 and 1777, pertaining to the obligation to pay prevailing wages with respect to the performance of work (“Prevailing Wage Laws”). Contractor shall defend, indemnify, and hold the City, its elected officials, officers, employees, and agents free and harmless from any claim or liability arising out of any failure or alleged failure to comply with the Prevailing Wage Laws.

Contractor acknowledges that under California Labor Code sections 1810 et seq., eight hours of labor constitutes a legal day’s work. Contractor will forfeit as a penalty to City the sum of $25.00 for each worker employed in the execution of this Contract by Contractor or any subcontractor for each calendar day during which such worker is required or permitted to work more than 8 hours in any one calendar day and 40 hours in any one calendar week in violation of the provisions of Labor Code section 1810. (Labor Code § 1813.)

6. NON-DISCRIMINATION
Contractor, its officers, agents, employees, and subcontractors may not discriminate in the employment of persons to perform the Work because of the race, religion, creed, color, national origin, ancestry, physical handicap, medical condition, marital status, sex or age of such person, except as may be permitted by California Government Code section 12940. Contractor is responsible for compliance with this section.

Contractor shall indemnify, defend with legal counsel approved by Agency, and hold harmless Agency, its officers, officials, employees, and volunteers (“Indemnified Parties”) from and against all claims for and actual liabilities, losses, damages, expenses, costs (including without limitation reasonable attorney’s fees, expert fees, and all other costs and fees of litigation) of every nature relating to, arising out of or in connection with Contractor’s, its officers, agents, employees, or subcontractors (or any agency or individual that Contractor shall bear the legal liability thereof) negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct in the performance of work on and/or connected with the Project or its failure to comply with any of its obligations contained in this Agreement, except such loss or damage which is caused by the sole or active negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Parties. Should conflict of interest principles preclude a single attorney from representing both Agency and Contractor, or should Agency otherwise find Contractor’s attorney unacceptable, then Contractor shall reimburse the Agency its costs of

defense, including without limitation reasonable attorney’s fees, expert fees, and all other costs and fees of litigation. The Contractor shall promptly pay any final judgment rendered against the Indemnified Parties with respect to claims determined by a trier of fact to have been the result of the Contractor’s negligent, reckless, or wrongful act, omission or performance. It is expressly understood and agreed that the foregoing provisions are intended to be as broad and inclusive as is permitted by the law of the State of California and will survive termination of this Agreement.

Contractor’s obligations under this section apply regardless of whether or not such claim, charge, damage, demand, action, proceeding, loss, stop notice, cost, expense, judgment, civil fine or penalty, or liability was caused in part or contributed to by Indemnified Parties. However, without affecting the rights of Indemnified Parties under any provision of this Agreement, Contractor shall not be required to indemnify and hold harmless Indemnified Parties for liability attributable to the sole or active negligence or willful misconduct of Indemnified Parties, provided such sole or active negligence or willful misconduct is determined by agreement between the parties or by the findings of a court of competent jurisdiction. In instances where Indemnified Parties are shown to have been solely or actively negligent or to have acted with willful misconduct and where Indemnified Parties’ sole or active negligence or willful misconduct accounts for only a percentage of the liability involved, the obligation of Contractor will be for that entire portion or percentage of liability not attributable to the sole or active negligence or willful misconduct of Indemnified Parties.

BOND TERMS AND CONDITIONS

1. Contractor and Surety, jointly and severally, bind themselves, their heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns to Owner for the complete and proper performance of the Construction Contract, which is incorporated herein by reference.

2. If Contractor completely and properly performs all of its obligations under the Construction Contract, Surety and Contractor shall have no obligation under this Bond.

3. If there is no Owner Default, Surety’s obligation under this Bond shall arise after:

3.1 Owner provides Surety with written notice that Owner has declared a Contractor Default under the Construction Contract pursuant to the terms of the Construction Contract; and

3.2 Owner has agreed to pay the Balance of Contract Sum:

3.2.1 To Surety in accordance with the terms of this Bond and the Construction Contract; or

3.2.2 To a Contractor selected to perform the Construction Contract in accordance with the terms of this Bond and the Construction Contract.

4. When Owner has satisfied the conditions of Paragraph 3 above, Surety shall promptly (within 40 Days) and at Surety’s expense elect to take one of the following actions:

4.1 Arrange for Contractor, with consent of Owner, to perform and complete the Construction Contract (but Owner may withhold consent, in which case the Surety must elect an option described in Paragraphs 4.2, 4.3 or 4.4 below); or

4.2 Undertake to perform and complete the Construction Contract itself, through its agents or through independent contractors or Construction entities; provided, that Surety may not select Contractor as its agent or independent contractor or Contractor without Owner’s consent; or

4.3 Undertake to perform and complete the Construction Contract by obtaining bids from qualified contractors or Construction entities acceptable to Owner for a contract for performance and completion of the Construction Contract and, upon determination by Owner of the lowest responsive and responsible Bidder, arrange for a contract to be prepared for execution by Owner and the contractor or Contractor selected with Owner’s concurrence, to be secured with performance and payment bonds executed by a qualified surety equivalent to the bonds issued on the Construction Contract; and, if Surety’s obligations defined in Paragraph 6 below, exceed the Balance of Contract Sum, then Surety shall pay to Owner the amount of such excess; or

4.4 Waive its right to perform and complete, arrange for completion, or obtain a new contractor or Contractor, and with reasonable promptness under the circumstances

Page 63 of 66 ends

18.B.

Page 195 of 410 ends

and, after investigation and consultation with Owner, determine in good faith its monetary obligation to Owner under Paragraph 6 below, for the performance and completion of the Construction Contract and, as soon as practicable after the amount is determined, tender payment therefor to Owner with full explanation of the payment’s calculation. If Owner accepts Surety’s tender under this Paragraph 4.4 above, Owner may still hold Surety liable for future damages then unknown or unliquidated resulting from the Contractor Default, as agreed by Owner and Surety at the time of tender. If Owner disputes the amount of Surety’s tender under this Paragraph 4.4 above, Owner may exercise all remedies available to it at law to enforce Surety’s liability under Paragraphs 6 and 6.3 below.

5. At all times Owner shall be entitled to enforce any remedy available to Owner at law or under the Construction Contract including, without limitation, and by way of example only, rights to perform work, protect Work, mitigate damages, advance critical Work to mitigate schedule delay, and coordinate Work with other consultants or contractors.

6. If Surety elects to act under Paragraphs 4.1, 4.2 or 4.3 above, within the time period provided in Paragraph 4, above, and complies with its obligations under this Bond, Surety’s obligations under this Bond are commensurate with Contractor’s Construction Contract obligations. Surety’s obligations include, but are not limited to:

6.1 Contractor’s obligations to complete the Construction Contract and correct Defective Work;

6.2 Contractor’s obligations to pay liquidated damages; and

6.3 To the extent otherwise required of Contractor under the Construction Contract, Contractor’s obligations to pay additional legal, design professional, and other costs not included within liquidated damages resulting from Contractor Default (but excluding attorney’s fees incurred to enforce this Bond).

7. If Surety does not elect to act under Paragraphs 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, or 4.4, above, within the time period provided in Paragraph 4, above, or comply with its obligations under this Bond, then Surety shall be deemed to be in default on this Bond ten Days after receipt of an additional written notice from Owner to Surety demanding that Surety perform its obligations under this Bond. Such Surety default shall be independent of the Contractor Default.

Meeting: City Council Meeting - Oct 13 2026
Department: Human Resources
Submitted by: Noah Rau, Interim City Manager
Norma Rangel, Human Resources Manager;
☐ Receive and File ☒ Consent Calendar ☐ Business Item ☐ Public Hearing TITLE:

A Resolution Approving the New Senior Plans Examiner Classification, Establishing the Salary Range, Amending the Citywide Salary Schedule, and Adding One Full-Time Senior Plans Examiner Position to the Fiscal Year 2026-27 Authorized Position List RECOMMENDED ACTION:

It is respectfully recommended that the City Council adopt the following resolution (Attachment No. 1):

RESOLUTION NO. 2026-160 - A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF

HEMET, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING THE NEW CLASSIFICATION OF SENIOR PLANS

EXAMINER, INCLUDING THE NEW CLASSIFICATION IN THE SALARY SCHEDULE, AND

ADDING THE NEW POSITION TO THE APPROVED BUDGETED POSITION LIST FOR FISCAL YEAR 2026-27
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

Staff proposes establishing a full-time, benefited Senior Plans Examiner classification to bring advanced plan review expertise in-house and strengthen the City's ability to manage complex projects and technical code issues. The proposed position would provide advanced technical review, staff guidance, and greater consistency in the plan review process, reducing reliance on external consultants.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:

The City's Building and Safety Division is responsible for reviewing building plans and related technical documents for compliance with applicable laws, codes, regulations, and standards.

Currently, plan review services are provided through an external consultant. As construction projects and regulatory requirements have become increasingly complex, there is a growing need for an advanced-level, in-house position capable of independently reviewing complex projects and providing technical guidance on difficult or unusual code-related issues.

Page 1 of 23 ends

18.C.

Page 199 of 410 ends

To address this need, staff proposes establishing a Senior Plans Examiner classification within the Building and Safety Division. The position would perform complex plan reviews for residential, commercial, industrial, institutional, and other development projects; review architectural and structural plans, engineering calculations, specifications, and other technical documents; and determine compliance with applicable requirements. The Senior Plans Examiner would also serve as a technical resource to Building and Safety staff, assist with complex code interpretation, and work directly with architects, engineers, contractors, developers, and property owners to resolve technical issues and facilitate the plan review process.

The City currently utilizes Willdan for plans examination services at an estimated annual cost of approximately $164,000. The addition of one full-time Senior Plans Examiner position would allow the City to bring these services in-house at an estimated annual General Fund cost of approximately $157,000, based on the position’s fully burdened cost, including salary and applicable employee benefits. The consultant’s hourly rate is $125, compared with an estimated fully burdened hourly rate of $75.48 for the proposed classification. This represents an hourly cost difference of $49.52, or approximately 39.6%. Based on current expenditures for contracted plans examination services, transitioning these services in-house is anticipated to result in an estimated annual net savings of approximately $7,000 to the General Fund, while also providing dedicated internal staffing to support plan review activities and departmental workload. Beyond these estimated annual savings, the lower hourly cost would allow the City to accommodate additional plan review workload more economically and could reduce future expenditures for consultant services. These additional financial benefits have not been quantified and are not included in the estimated $7,000 annual savings. Funding for the position will be incorporated into the Department’s personnel budget, and ongoing costs will be included in future General Fund operating budgets and remain subject to the City’s annual budget adoption process.

DISCUSSION:

The proposed Senior Plans Examiner classification (Attachment No. 2) would strengthen the City's plan examination function by providing an experienced in-house technical resource for complex projects and difficult code-related issues. The position would independently perform complex plan reviews, provide technical guidance and training to staff, and promote greater consistency and efficiency in the application of City requirements. Establishing an in-house position would also provide the City with greater oversight and operational control of the plan examination process, including the ability to prioritize, expedite, and reassign projects based on workload demands, project complexity, deadlines, and other operational needs. Dedicated full-time staffing is expected to reduce plan check turnaround times and improve customer service by providing more direct access to technical assistance and timely resolution of plan review comments.

A full-time Senior Plans Examiner would also create the opportunity to provide over-the-counter (OTC) plan review for eligible accessory dwelling units (ADUs), room additions, and minor tenant improvements. Eligibility would depend on project complexity, completeness of submitted plans, required approvals, and staff availability. Where feasible, OTC review would allow applicants to address minor corrections directly with staff and complete the plan review process more quickly.

These service improvements would benefit homeowners, businesses, contractors, and development applicants while improving coordination throughout the permitting process.

The proposed annual salary range of $93,444 to $119,328 was developed based on comparable classifications, the knowledge and experience required, the complexity of the work, and internal equity. The proposed compensation recognizes the advanced technical responsibilities of the classification and its role in independently managing complex plan reviews and code-related issues.

Page 2 of 23 ends

18.C.

Page 200 of 410 ends

A revised Citywide Salary Schedule (Attachment No. 3) reflecting the proposed classification and salary range is included for City Council consideration.

The Senior Plans Examiner would be a full-time, benefited classification represented by the Hemet General Employees Association (HGEA). The City and HGEA have met and conferred regarding the classification's requirements, salary, and benefits pursuant to the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act (MMBA).

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.

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:

Appropriations for this position were included in the Fiscal Year 2026-27 budget process. No additional appropriations are needed at this time.

The estimated annual fully burdened cost of the proposed Senior Plans Examiner position, including salary and applicable employee benefits, is approximately $157,000. Compared with current annual expenditures of approximately $164,000 for contracted plans examination services, transitioning these services in-house is anticipated to result in approximately $7,000 in annual General Fund savings.

The consultant’s hourly rate is $125, compared with an estimated fully burdened hourly rate of $75.48 for the proposed classification. This represents a difference of $49.52 per hour, or approximately

39.6%. In addition to the estimated $7,000 annual savings, the lower hourly cost provides the potential to accommodate additional plan review workload more economically and avoid future increases in consultant expenditures.These potential additional financial benefits have not been quantified and are not included in the estimated annual savings.

Future appropriations will be established through the standard budget process.

ALTERNATIVE(S):

1. Do not approve the recommended classification, amended salary schedule, and addition to the FY 26/27 position list.

2. Provide alternative direction to the Interim City Manager.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

Staff recommends awarding a construction contract (Attachment No. 4) to Hardy & Harper, Inc. for the SB1 Citywide Pavement Rehabilitation Project (CIP 2511). Following review of the eleven bids received, Hardy & Harper, Inc. was determined to be the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with a bid of $2,118,000. Staff also recommends waiving the minor bid irregularities identified in this report and authorizing a 10% construction contingency in the amount of $211,800.

determine whether recusal or other compliance action is required. Applicants, contractors, and other parties or participants are also reminded of their disclosure obligations under Government Code section 84308 and applicable FPPC regulations.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:

Senate Bill (SB) 1, Chapter 5, Statutes of 2017, established the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Program to address deferred maintenance on the State Highway System and local street and road systems. SB 1 also established the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA), which provides formula-based funding to eligible cities and counties pursuant to Streets and Highways Code section 2032(h) for basic road maintenance, rehabilitation, and critical safety projects.

The SB1 Citywide Pavement Rehabilitation Project (CIP 2511) consists of approximately 389,000 square feet of pavement rehabilitation using full-depth reclamation. The project was approved for RMRA funding by Resolution No. 2025-059, adopted by the City Council on May 27, 2025, and was included in the City's most recent five-year Capital Improvement Program update, adopted on July 14, 2026.

CIP 2511 includes East Menlo Avenue from San Jacinto Street to Park Avenue; Park Avenue from Yale Street to Dartmouth Street; South Carmalita Street from Whittier Avenue to Mayberry Avenue; and Wentworth Drive from Cawston Avenue to Sanderson Avenue, as shown in Attachment No. 2.

DISCUSSION:

The bid package was approved by the Interim City Engineer, and on July 30, 2026, the City solicited bids from 609 vendors through PlanetBids, the City's electronic bid solicitation service provider, where interested bidders could obtain the complete bid documents. On August 2, 2026, the Notice Inviting Bids was published in The Press-Enterprise.

During its review of the submitted bid documents, staff identified two minor irregularities in Hardy & Harper, Inc.'s bid. First, although Hardy & Harper, Inc. properly notarized its bid bond, certain other signatures required by the bid documents were not notarized. Staff determined, in consultation with the City Attorney, that the lack of notarization constitutes a minor bid irregularity that does not affect the substance, responsiveness, or enforceability of the bid.

Second, Hardy & Harper, Inc. did not include copies of its subcontractor bids with its bid submission.

Staff reviewed the other ten bids received for the project and found that only one of the eleven bidders submitted copies of its subcontractor bids. Staff determined, in consultation with the City Attorney, that this omission constitutes a minor bid irregularity and did not affect the bid price, provide Hardy & Harper, Inc. with a competitive advantage, or impair the City's ability to evaluate the bid.

Based on this review and consultation with the City Attorney, staff determined that both items constitute minor bid irregularities that did not affect the bid price, quantity or quality of the work, the City's ability to evaluate the bid, or the determination of the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.

Staff therefore recommends that the City Council waive the identified minor bid irregularities and award the construction contract to Hardy & Harper, Inc. in the amount of $2,118,000.

The City received eleven bids for the project, as summarized below and detailed in the bid comparison provided as Attachment No. 3:

Authorization to Use Police Measure U Fund Balance to Restore Funding for Nine Frozen Police Department Positions in Fiscal Year 2026-27
RECOMMENDED ACTION:

It is respectfully recommended that the City Council adopt the following resolution (Attachment No. 1):

RESOLUTION NO. 2026-168 - A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HEMET, CALIFORNIA, RECEIVING AND FILING THE MEASURE U CITIZENS’ OVERSIGHT

COMMITTEE LETTER, RESTORING FUNDING FOR NINE FROZEN POLICE DEPARTMENT POSITIONS, AMENDING THE FISCAL YEAR 2026-27 BUDGETED POSITION LIST, AND AUTHORIZING A SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATION NOT TO EXCEED $759,000 FROM

POLICE MEASURE U FUND BALANCE
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

On September 22, 2026, the Measure U Citizens’ Oversight Committee recommended using Police Measure U fund balance to restore funding for nine existing authorized Police Department positions frozen as part of the Fiscal Year 2026-27 Adopted Budget. Staff requests City Council authorization to restore funding for these positions, resume recruitment and hiring, and approve a supplemental appropriation not to exceed $759,000 from available Police Measure U fund balance for personnel costs during the remainder of FY 2026-27. Ongoing funding will be evaluated through the FY 2027-28 budget process.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:

During development of the FY 2026-27 Budget, the City evaluated expenditures throughout the organization in response to the General Fund’s financial condition. Budget-balancing measures incorporated into the Adopted Budget included freezing certain vacant positions, including nine within the Police Department.

Page 1 of 12 ends

18.E.

Page 257 of 410 ends

These positions remain within the City’s authorized position structure. The budget freeze suspended recruitment and hiring for the positions and reduced budgeted personnel expenditures for FY 2026-

27. Following budget adoption, the City Council directed staff to present the positions to the Measure U Citizens’ Oversight Committee for consideration of using available Police Measure U resources to restore funding.

On September 22, 2026, the Committee considered Staff Report No. 26-343, which outlined the estimated personnel costs, projected available Police Measure U fund balance, and anticipated operational and community service benefits of restoring funding and allowing recruitment and hiring.

On a motion by Vice Chair Clark, seconded by Committee Member Kelly, the Committee unanimously recommended using Police Measure U funding to restore funding for the nine positions and forwarding the matter to the City Council for consideration.

The matter is now before the City Council for authorization to restore funding, resume recruitment and hiring, and approve the associated supplemental appropriation.

DISCUSSION:

Police Department Positions
The FY 2026-27 Adopted Budget froze funding for the following nine vacant Police Department positions, which remain within the City’s authorized position structure:

Position Number of Positions Estimated Monthly
Cost Estimated Annual Cost
Civilian Investigator –
Temporary Part-Time 1 $2,800 $34,000
Community Services
Officer – Full-Time 1 $6,600 $79,000
Outreach and
Engagement Specialist
– Full-Time
1 $9,750 $117,000
Police Officer – FullTime 6 $89,250 $1,071,000
Total 9 $108,400 $1,301,000
Amounts are rounded estimates. The Police Officer costs reflect the combined cost of all six positions.

The estimated annual cost of all nine positions is approximately $1.301 million if filled for a full fiscal year. Actual FY 2026-27 expenditures will depend on recruitment and appointment dates, salary steps, applicable benefits, and the length of time each position is filled.

Staff recommends a supplemental appropriation not to exceed $759,000 for the remainder of FY 2026-27. This amount represents approximately seven months of estimated personnel costs for all

Page 2 of 12 ends

18.E.

Page 258 of 410 ends

nine positions. Actual expenditures may be lower depending on hiring timelines, and any unspent amount will remain in Police Measure U fund balance.

Staffing and Community Service Considerations
Restoring funding would allow the Police Department to resume recruitment and hiring for six existing authorized sworn Police Officer positions and three civilian positions, increasing its capacity to work toward its authorized staffing level.

Deployment of the six Police Officers would depend on successful recruitment, completion of applicable hiring and training requirements, Department staffing levels, and operational needs.

The three civilian positions would support functions that do not necessarily require sworn authority.

The Community Services Officer would perform appropriate field and support functions; the temporary part-time Civilian Investigator would provide investigative support; and the Outreach and Engagement Specialist would support the Active Engagement Response Outreach (AERO) Team’s community outreach and engagement activities. Assigning appropriate duties to civilian employees can provide greater flexibility to deploy sworn personnel to functions requiring Police Officer authority.

Recruitment timelines, candidate availability, background investigations, training requirements, and employee turnover will affect when and how many positions are filled.

Measure U Citizens’ Oversight Committee Review
The Measure U Citizens’ Oversight Committee reviews and advises on proposed expenditures of Measure U funds. The proposed use of Police Measure U fund balance was presented to the Committee before being brought forward to the City Council.

At its September 22, 2026 meeting, the Committee reviewed the estimated cost of the nine positions, projected available Police Measure U resources, and anticipated operational and community service benefits. Following its review, the Committee unanimously recommended using Police Measure U funding to restore funding for the positions and forwarding the matter to the City Council for consideration. Authorization of the positions’ funded status and the associated appropriation remains subject to City Council approval.

Police Measure U Fund Balance
As of July 1, 2026, the preliminary estimated fund balance attributable to the Police Department’s portion of Measure U was approximately $13.0 million.

After accounting for estimated FY 2026-27 Measure U revenues, budgeted expenditures, a 20% reserve set-aside, and funds assigned for continuing appropriations, approximately $4.9 million is projected to remain available before the proposed appropriation.

Police Measure U Estimated Amount
Projected Available Fund Balance – FY 2026-27 $4,900,000 Proposed Appropriation for Nine Positions ($759,000)
Projected Remaining Available Fund Balance $4,141,000

Page 3 of 12 ends

18.E.

Page 259 of 410 ends

The proposed appropriation would leave approximately $4.1 million in projected available Police Measure U fund balance before any subsequent uses. These amounts are estimates and may change based on actual revenues and expenditures. The remaining balance represents accumulated resources available for future use, rather than recurring annual revenue.

Ongoing Funding
The proposed $759,000 appropriation would use accumulated Police Measure U fund balance to fund personnel costs for the remainder of FY 2026-27. Restoring funding and filling the positions would create personnel commitments extending beyond the current fiscal year, subject to the temporary status of the part-time Civilian Investigator position.

At current estimated compensation and benefit levels, approximately $1.301 million would be required annually if all nine positions were filled for a full fiscal year. Future costs may change based on negotiated compensation, retirement contributions, insurance, and other personnel expenses.

During development of the FY 2027-28 Budget, staff will evaluate these costs together with existing General Fund and Police Measure U commitments, projected ongoing revenues, and reserve requirements, and present a recommended ongoing funding plan to the City Council. Continued reliance on fund balance would reduce resources available for future operating needs and other Measure U expenditures.

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.

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:

Approval of the recommended actions would authorize a supplemental appropriation not to exceed $759,000 from available Police Measure U fund balance to restore funding for nine existing authorized Police Department positions during the remainder of FY 2026-27. This amount represents approximately seven months of estimated personnel costs for all nine positions. Actual expenditures will depend on hiring timelines, salary steps, and applicable benefits. Any unspent amount will remain in Police Measure U fund balance.

At current estimated compensation and benefit levels, the nine positions would cost approximately $1.301 million annually if filled for a full fiscal year. Staff will evaluate available ongoing General Fund and Police Measure U revenues, existing commitments, and reserve requirements during development of the FY 2027-28 Budget and present a recommended ongoing funding plan to the City Council.

C TY OF HE ET
MEASURE u CITIZENS' OVERSIGHT COMMI1TEE
Date: September 22, 2026
To: Honorable Mayor and Members ofthe Hemet City Council From: Measure U Citizens’ Oversight Committee
Subject: Recommendation Regarding Police Department Frozen Positions and Use of Police Measure U Funds
Dear Mayor and Members of the City Council:

At its September 22,2026, meeting, the Measure U Citizens’ Oversight Committee received information regarding nine vacant Police Department positions that were frozen for budgetary purposes as part of the Fiscal Year 2026-27 Adopted Budget. The positions remain within the City’s authorized position structure.

The Committee reviewed the estimated cost of restoring funding for the positions, the projected available Police Measure U fund balance, and the staffing and community service considerations associated with the positions. The nine positions consist of six Police Officers, one Community Services Officer, one Outreach & Engagement Specialist, and one temporary pa rt—time Civilian Investigator.

Based on the information presented, the estimated Measure U funding requirement for approximately seven months (November 2026 through June 2027) is $759,000. The projected available Police Measure U fund balance is approximately $4.9 million, with an estimated $4.1 million remaining after the proposed appropriation. The estimated annualized cost of all nine positions for FY 2027—28 is approximately $1.301 million, and future funding would be considered through the annual budget and Measure U spending plan processes.

Following discussion and consideration, the Committee took the following action:

SUPPORT
The Measure U Citizens' Oversight Committee recommends that the City Council unfreeze the nine identified Police Department positions and approve the use of up to $759,000 in available Police Measure U fund balance to restore funding for the positions for the remainder of FY 2026-27.

El DO NOT SUPPORT
The Measure U Citizens’ Oversight Committee does not recommend that the City Council unfreeze the nine identified Police Department positions and use available Police Measure U fund balance to restore funding for the positions for the remainder of FY 2026-27.

The Committee recognizes that any appropriation of Measure U funds and authorization to restore funding for the positions is subject to City Council approval.

Submitted by: Noah Rau, Interim City Manager
Steven Graham, City Attorney;
☐ Receive and File ☒ Consent Calendar ☐ Business Item ☐ Public Hearing TITLE:

A Resolution Declaring the Surplus and Donation of a 1998 American LaFrance Type 1 Fire Engine to the City of Cathedral City
RECOMMENDED ACTION:

It is respectfully recommended that the City Council adopt the following resolution:

RESOLUTION NO. 2026-181 - A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HEMET, CALIFORNIA, DECLARING A 1998 AMERICAN LAFRANCE TYPE 1 FIRE ENGINE

SURPLUS, APPROVING ITS DONATION TO THE CITY OF CATHEDRAL CITY SUBJECT TO

REIMBURSEMENT OF THE FAIR MARKET VALUE OF THE INSTALLED COMMUNICATIONS

EQUIPMENT, AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE ALL NECESSARY

DOCUMENTS
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The Hemet Fire Department has a 1998 American LaFrance Type 1 fire engine that it received at no cost as a donation from the Pechanga Band of Indians in April 2025 and that it no longer needs. The City of Cathedral City has an immediate operational need for a Type 1 engine and has asked to acquire it. Staff recommends that the City Council declare the engine surplus and donate it directly to Cathedral City under Hemet Municipal Code section 2-337(c), which allows surplus property to be donated to another public agency upon a written finding of public purpose and Council approval. The only City investment in the engine is communications equipment the City purchased and installed after receiving it andCathedral City will reimburse the City $6,335.12, the fair market value of that equipment, before title transfers. Cathedral City will take the engine “as is,” release and indemnify the City, and bear all transfer and future operating costs. The donation keeps the engine in regional fire service, supports the mutual aid system on which Hemet relies, relieves the City of storage and disposition costs, and returns the City’s full cash investment.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:

Page 1 of 14 ends

18.F.

Page 269 of 410 ends

On April 11, 2025, the Pechanga Band of Indians donated to the Hemet Fire Department a 1998 American LaFrance Type 1 fire engine (the “Fire Engine”) under an Equipment Donation Agreement signed on behalf of the City by the City Manager. The Fire Engine is equipped with a 1,750 gallonper-minute pump, a 500-gallon water tank, and a 20-gallon foam tank, and carries Hemet Unit No. 3275. The City paid nothing to acquire it, and the Pechanga agreement places no restriction on the City’s later use or disposition of the apparatus.

After the Fire Engine arrived, the City purchased and installed communications equipment in it: a Kenwood mobile radio, a Motorola APX vehicular charger, and a power receiver vehicle kit (the “Communications Equipment”), at a cost of $6,335.12. The Fire Department has since determined that the Fire Engine is not needed for the City’s present or foreseeable operations.

In mid-2026, Cathedral City Fire & EMS advised the Hemet Fire Department that it had an urgent need for a Type 1 engine and asked whether the Fire Engine could be made available. Cathedral City’s Fire Chief has confirmed that Cathedral City remains interested in acquiring the Fire Engine.

DISCUSSION:

A. Surplus Property Authority. The Hemet Municipal Code governs the disposal of City personal property. Section 2-327 defines “surplus personal property” as property “not needed by the city at the present time or in the foreseeable future.” Section 2-335 allows the City Council, the City Manager, or a department head to declare property surplus in writing. Ordinarily, surplus property worth more than $5,000 must be sold by electronic bid or public auction to the highest responsible bidder after published notice (HMC § 2-336(b)). Section 2-337(c), however, provides that “[u]pon written finding of public purpose and approval of the city council, the purchasing officer may sell or donate items directly to public agencies and nonprofit organizations, without advertising the items pursuant to section 2-336.” Because Cathedral City is a public agency, the City Council may approve a direct donation once it makes the required written finding. The proposed resolution serves as both the surplus declaration and the written finding. This is consistent with Government Code section 37350, which authorizes a city to hold personal property and to “control and dispose of it for the common benefit.”
B. Public Purpose and the Gift Clause. Article XVI, section 6 of the California Constitution prohibits the gift of public money or any “thing of value” to any individual or “municipal or other corporation.” A transfer is not a prohibited gift if it serves a public purpose, and a legislative body’s determination of public purpose is upheld so long as it has a reasonable basis. When one public agency transfers property to another, the key question is whether the transfer serves a public purpose of the transferring agency; a contribution “is legal if it serves the public purpose of the donor agency even though it is beneficial to local purposes of the donee agency”. By contrast, a transfer made solely for the recipient’s benefit can be an unlawful gift. For that reason, the proposed resolution focuses its findings on the benefits to Hemet:
 Regional fire protection and mutual aid. Hemet and Cathedral City both participate in the Riverside County Operational Area and the statewide mutual aid system under the California Emergency Services Act (Gov. Code §§ 8615–8619) and the California Disaster and Civil Defense Master Mutual Aid Agreement. Fire apparatus and crews routinely cross jurisdictional lines during wildland fires, major structure fires, and disasters. Keeping a serviceable Type 1 engine in active service within the region adds to the resources available to respond when Hemet itself needs help.
 Avoided costs. Retaining an unneeded engine requires the City to store, maintain, and insure it, and an auction would add advertising, staff time, and auctioneer costs. The donation ends those costs immediately.
