PUBLIC NOTICE: The agenda for this item was posted at the three locations per Resolution No. 2011- 047 and on the City' s website.

BACKGROUND: On September 5, 2024, the Line Fire broke out in Highland near the intersection of Base Line and Alpin Street impacting many of our east Highland residents. Major wildfires result in a loss of vegetation which could lead to an increased risk of flooding, landslides, and mudflows in areas affected by a fire during intense rainfall. Risks remain significantly higher until vegetation is restored, which is estimated to take 2- 5 years after a wildfire. The City is preparing to address Denied

City City Manager
1 Enhanced Code Enforcement is a continuing City Program. Pavement Rehabilitation is a new Program. Both are categorized by HUD as " Construction Improvement Projects." CDBG funds from the Enhanced Code Enforcement Program are anticipated to pay for a percentage of Community Development Staff time. If the City Council does not fund all or a portion of this Project, then the costs would be borne by the City' s General Fund or other source as approved by the Council.

BACKGROUND: The County of San Bernardino received seven ( 7) eligible CDBG Applications for Highland. These are now presented to the City Council for consideration. The total amount requested is $ 434, 000. Two ( 2) applications are categorized as Construction Improvement Proiects totaling $350, 000. The remaining five ( 5) Applications are categorized as Public Service proiects, totaling $ 84,000.

There is a shortfall in both categories with respect to available funds. Funding requested in the Construction Applications exceeds the HUD allocated amount by $28,376 ($350, 000 requested 321, 624 available). Funding requested in Public Service projects exceeds the HUD allocation by $ 27, 243 ($ 84, 000 requested - $ 56, 757 available).

For reference, a summary of all CDBG recipients from the past ten ( 10) years is attached as well as a summary of this year' s requests and individual applications ( Attachments 2- 4).

This amount may only be distributed to Construction Improvement Projects. Staff recommends these funds remain unallocated and available for future public works projects that exceed budget.

Good Afternoon:

Each year, San Bernardino County ( County) must prepare and submit an Action Plan to the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development ( HUD). This plan identifies the expected funding amount from HUD and outlines specific activities planned to achieve the County' s housing and community development goals and objectives.

For the 2025- 2026 Program Year ( PY), the County anticipates receiving $ 6. 4 million to support the activities detailed in its 2025- 2026 Action Plan.

The County has provided an estimated funding allocation to meet submission timelines, though this estimate may fluctuate based on the federal budget approval. Once the federal allocation is finalized, adjustments to your City' s allocation may be necessary. For PY 2025- 2026, your City' s estimated annual allocation is 378 381.

This estimated allocation is based on U. S. Census data for poverty levels, overcrowded housing, and population estimates, meaning the allocation may increase or decrease once final figures are released. Please note that all amounts are subject to change based on HUD' s actual allocation to the CDBG Program.

In response to the PY 2025- 2026 Notice of Funding Availability ( NOFA), the County has received several proposals and evaluated each for federal compliance. To support your City' s involvement in this process, please provide a prioritized list of eligible proposals that best align with your City' s goals and objectives.

For your convenience, a Dropbox Link is provided to access the following documents:

1. List of Eligible Project Applications

Submissions after this date may not be included in the list of projects presented to the County Board of Supervisors.

Grant Process and Funding Thresholds:

The 15% Public Service Cap applies to cities with a CDBG funding allocation of $100,000 or more. The allowable number of new projects depends on each city' s formula share of the CDBG allocation, and the maximum number of newly funded construction projects is based on your City' s CDBG Administrative Cap.

Your City' s specific funding details for this cycle are as follows:
4 Total Allowable Projects: 10
Maximum Number of Construction Projects: 5
Estimated 15% Public Service Cap: $ 56, 757

tnls Drolect Is neeaeu, .> 1Le LI IC CVIUCI ILA-- LU JUUJLCLI I ICrIG a IG I icon The project is needed to improve property conditions in the City, encourage affordable housing and improve living conditions. The Target Area suffers from blighted conditions such as a lack of property maintenance, substandard living conditions, illegal and unsafe structures.

Why must this proposed project be funded now versus receiving funding in future vears?
The decline of residential and non- residential infrastructure is incremental. The longer the City waits to address issues, the more numerous and compounded they become.

What are the ramifications if this project is not recommended for funding in this fiscal dl
The City's Code Enforcement efforts would be less. Violations may go unanswered and further the decline of properties in the CDBG Target Area. Housing neighborhood stabilization efforts would suffer and recover in the City's economically disadvantaged neighborhoods would be impaired.
21 Construction Program Application Fiscal Year 2025 - 2026 What is the project' s population to be served?
The project will be conducted within the City's CDBG Target Area and will assist the economically disadvantaged. It will serve families of low, very -low and extremely -low income.

It will serve areas that contain the oldest housing stock in the City with the least amount of infrastructure and opportunities.

The Highland Senior Center borders the cities of Highland and San Bernardino and those cities are our primary cities served. Due to the volume of our senior membership and participation with our activities and programs, designed to enhance the quality of life for seniors, we continue to see participation from surrounding cities as well. Our Transportation Assistance Program and free shuttle service is expected to increase in numbers due to the new transportation service and shuttle van we received this year. 70 Public Services Program Application Fiscal Year 2025— 2026 Exhibit 3: Community Needs and Target Population ( continued) Describe the geographic boundaries of the neighborhood, community or area in which clients of the nronosed nroaram reside ( attach a map if needed):

Summarize the description of your project to include 1) priority, 2) sub -activity, 3) population( s) to be served, and 4) accomplishment level, and 5) services to be provided.

In an effort to summarize the center' s programs and services, the center' s priority is to maintain and preserve the integrity of life for senior adults. Allowing seniors to maintain their health, physical fitness and independence while enjoying and engaging in social interaction with programs and activities, having a daily hot nutritional meal, providing for a free food give a way program, twice weekly, regular educational classes, weekly resource events, transportation assistance, participating in our free " Shuttle Services" to and from the senior center as well as enjoying many other vital programs that provide relief of loneliness, isolation and depression for senior adults. We continue to see growth in our ' Shuttle service which as provided for meal delivery and additional transportation to and from medical appointments, sight seeing trips, and trips to and from the senior center where by seniors can continue getting out and becoming more active which will help them to stay healthy. During the pandemic we fostered relationships that allowed the center to partner with our community for services which helped us to stay in touch with seniors and assist them with shopping and food deliveries. The past few years were challenging for the seniors in the community, however, with the senior volunteers, staff and collaboration with the community, we continued to remain open while serving the seniors to to our fullest potential. 71 Public Services Program Application Fiscal Year 2025— 2026 Describe how this project meets the priority population and activities selected.

The center continues operating with an approval under the County guidelines to remain open and provide essential services to the seniors. Because we offer such a variety of services, activities and resources, we continue to step out of our normal box, and now provide more socially acceptable as well as safety compliant services to the seniors.

Explain why this project is needed and what evidence can you substantiate the need.

Our ongoing needs assessment continues to identify the most significant problems seniors face, now more then ever which are depression, loneliness, anxiety and lack of social interaction. The center and its programs, activities and services offer help to alleviate such problems post COVID while many seniors continue to fight depression. We remain diligent with daily phone calls, delivery services and transportation.

Describe what qaps of service in the county this project fills.

We believe the need for the seniors to remain independent will continue to allow them to remain healthy, less reliable on services, and continue to play a vital role in the community.

We focus on providing the seniors a facility that is centrally located to those in all communities to come together and learn, participate in informational seminars and remain socially active.

We also meet the needs of shut-in seniors with meal and food deliveries as well as necessary transportation services that are not readily available.

What are the critical factors for the success of your project ( include both financial and human resources)? For instance, is this the only funding for this project? What happens if funding decreases? Does this project rely on only one source of leveraging? Is there adequate staff involved with the project if there is project turnover? Please address any factor that is critical to project success
During the Pandemic a good portion of our funding was been reduced due to reduced participation of our regular budgeted fundraisers. The center is now operating and providing high levels of service, however, not all funding has returned. We have maintained our level of service with our small staff of 6 and a minimal number of volunteers. We remain committed to make sure services that are needed by those home -bound seniors are provided as well while continuing to seek grants and assistance to continue to support our programs. 72 Public Services Program Application

For 2023- 2024 our Day Camp served over 800 students of San Bernardino, Highland, and Redlands where we provide a safe, encouraging environment for our youth to thrive while on break.

Through all our dedicated efforts and financial resources the Y is able to push our cause forward to strengthen community.
86 Public Services Program Application Fiscal Year 2025— 2026 Describe how this project meets the priority population and activities selected.

The Highland Family YMCA acts a community center for the City of Highland and provides health and wellness resources for the community members and to all the surrounding cities.

Our scholarship program provides opportunity for youth, adults, families, and active older adults within our communities to access health and wellness resources.

Explain why this project is needed and what evidence can you substantiate the need.

According to City Health Dashboard and the County of San Bernardino Health Statistics the city of San Bernardino, 20% of the community live in poverty and in the City of Highland nearly 16% of the community live below the poverty line. Nearly one in four residents in the East Valley live below the poverty line.

Describe what gaps of service in the county this project fills.

At the YMCA, 25 percent of our members rely on financial assistance to participate in our health and wellness programs. Whether it is providing quality child care services, youth recreational programs or simply access to group exercise classes and fitness equipment.

Within our childcare programs, we serve balanced, nutritious meals to each child enrolled. No individual is turned away due to an inability to pay
What are the critical factors for the success of your project ( include both financial and human resources)? For instance, is this the only funding for this project? What happens if funding decreases? Does this project rely on only one source of leveraging? Is there adequate staff involved with the project if there is project turnover? Please address any factor that is critical to project success
Critical factors for success include our Annual Campaign, Annual Highland Run, and the general operating funds along with community volunteers and YMCA personnel. The project relies on multiple resources to ensure the success of the projects purpose and goals. If funding should ever decrease this is not the sole funding source available to ensure the project success and effectiveness such as our campaign, fundraising, city reimbursements and operating funds. The YMCA is under the direction and support of a board of directors, executive level personnel and management team.

GOTR addresses this through fun, evidence -based programs that help participants recognize their inner strength, boost physical activity, envision possibilities, and confidently advocate for themselves. We aim to create a world where every girl realizes her limitless potential. Founded in 2020, GOTR Inland Empire formerly GOTR Riverside, see attached FBN) has engaged 200+ volunteers to serve nearly 1, 000 girls. We initiated programs with funding from local city/ county grants. To sustain our growth, we established contracts with schools and secured funding from foundations such as Anderson Children' s Foundation ( 7/ 24- 6/ 25), the Kaiser Foundation ( 9/ 24- 6/ 25), and LA84 3/ 24- 3/ 26).

Our evidence -based program empowers girls in 3- 8th grades to enhance physical activity, adopt healthy behaviors, foster positive connections, and contribute to their communities through a team -based impact project. Over a season, participants cultivate healthy habits, self-respect, and resilience that extend beyond the program. The program' s impact also reaches family members and community members through volunteerism and community projects, creating ripples of positive change. At GOTR, we prioritize representation among staff, board members, volunteers, and participants, encompassing various races, ethnicities, gender identities, abilities, income levels, and religions. We aim to eliminate barriers to participation and create inclusive programming for all. 99 Public Services Program Application

Summarize the description of your project to include 1) priority, 2) sub -activity, 3) population( s) to be served, and 4) accomplishment level, and 5) services to be provided.

To enhance the physical and mental wellness of our participants, coaches, volunteers, and families, we will: 1) Recruit and train at least 4 local coaches using our National Coach Training, which prepares coaches to build positive relationships, create inclusive and trauma - sensitive environments, and deliver the curriculum effectively. Staff will provide ongoing support to ensure a positive experience for all. 2) Provide programming for a minimum of 40 participants of low -to -moderate income. Our evidence -based program empowers participants to improve physical activity, adopt healthy behaviors, boost confidence, and develop positive connections. Program delivery includes curriculum guides, participant t- shirts, materials for activities, journals, parent guides, and apparel for girls in need. 3) As the season concludes, participants will create a community -impact project that positively influences their local area.

They will apply the self-assurance, empathy, and courage gained during practices to each project step, inspiring confidence to make a difference. 4) Host local end -of -season celebratory 5K events for participants, coaches, families, and community members. 5) Complete end -of -season evaluations, to measure impact and identify opportunities for improvement. Ultimately, participants will use the critical life skills learned through GOTR to make positive choices at school, home, and among friends long after the program ends. 101
Public Services Program Application Fiscal Year 2025— 2026 Describe how this project meets the priority population and activities selected.

This project targets low to moderate - income girls in grades 3- 8 by providing an accessible physical activity -based social -emotional learning program. Activities are designed to promote physical health while enhancing emotional well- being, creating a supportive environment that empowers girls to develop essential life skills and build lasting connections with peers.

Explain why this project is needed and what evidence can you substantiate the need.

By adolescence, girls experience a sharper decline in physical activity, self-confidence, and academic perception, and rising anxiety and depression compared to boys. COVID- 19 has intensified these disparities, particularly for girls of color and those from low-income families.

Per recent census data, 79% of Highland residents identify as BIPOC and 16% live below the poverty line, highlighting the need for support.

Describe what gaps of service in the county this project fills.

This project addresses critical gaps in youth health by combining physical activity with social - emotional programming. The 2020 San Bernardino County Community Indicators Report reveals that 42. 6% of students are overweight or obese, while 41 % of mental health service clients are children and youth. By integrating mental and physical health support, the program fosters healthy behaviors and coping skills, helping to combat the intertwined challenges of obesity and mental health issues like depression and anxiety.

What are the critical factors for the success of your project ( include both financial and human resources)? For instance, is this the only funding for this project? What happens if funding decreases? Does this project rely on only one source of leveraging? Is there adequate staff involved with the project if there is project turnover? Please address any factor that is critical to project success
Our project requires one Program Manager @ 20% time to oversee recruitment, training, and implementation, and at least four volunteer coaches @ 40 hours each. In addition to personnel costs ( about 50%), our budget also includes necessary costs for coach training, background checks, CPR certification, consumable materials, insurance, licensing fees, and rental fees for the 5K and off- season storage. We will leverage secured funding from LA84 and anticipated funding from GOTR International to implement the project. We are positioned to grow our staff as needed.

This results in them becoming more socially prepared to participate in all the County has to offer. Additionally, the Adult Literacy program supports the county' s Cradle to Career Road Map to achieve the Countywide vision. When we teach illiterate adults to read, we are not only helping them but are also helping their children, as parents who read are able to provide the literacy support a child needs to succeed. 114

Public Services Program Application Fiscal Year 2025— 2026 Describe how this project meets the priority population and activities selected.

The Adult Literacy Services Program assesses illiterate and presumed low- income adults and senior residents of Highland, and provides those that qualify with programming, tutoring, and instruction to aid them in meeting their literacy goals.

Explain why this project is needed and what evidence can you substantiate the need.

Per recent U. S. National Assessment of Adult Literacy, one in seven adults have difficultyreading anything more challenging than a child' s picture book. It is estimated that at

3. 4million Californians fall at the " Below Basic" Literacy Level. In the County of San Bernardino alone, it is estimated that at least 500,000 adults cannot read at all. This service provides assistance to adults who fall into this category.

Describe what gaps of service in the county this project fills.

This program focuses on adult individuals who are illiterate or who have low literacy skills. TI County Library Adult Literacy Program provides a no cost alternative for adults to gain these skills.

What are the critical factors for the success of your project ( include both financial and human resources)? For instance, is this the only funding for this project? What happens if funding decreases? Does this project rely on only one source of leveraging? Is there adequate staff involved with the project if there is project turnover? Please address any factor that is critical to project This program is funded primarily through the Library Department budget. Additional State and County funding helps the Library Department to expand the program and reach a larger audience than would be possible through internal funding alone. The Literacy Program is a multi -branch program, with branch staff interacting with learners and tutors while reporting is overseen by administrative staff. We have taken steps to ensure that any staff turnover will not impede the Literacy Program and that services would continue to be offered through the cross -training of staff.

BACKGROUND: SB 1383 was signed into law in September 2016. In an effort to address climate change, and specifically short-lived climate pollutants, SB 1383 sets targets for reducing organic waste disposal in landfills and to reduce disposal of edible food. California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery ( CalRecycle) found 20 percent of the State' s methane emissions to come from landfills and for organics such as food scraps, yard trimmings, paper and cardboard to make half of what California disposes of in landfills.

SB 1383 establishes a statewide target to reduce organic waste disposal by 50% by 2020 and 75% by 2025 and a statewide target to redirect at least 20% of edible food that is currently disposed to people in need. To meet these targets CalRecycle developed prescriptive regulations requiring local jurisdictions to adopt a mandatory and enforceable organics waste recycling ordinance by January 1, 2022. In addition, local jurisdictions are required to:

Provide organic waste recycling services to all residents and businesses; Implement an edible food recovery program that recovers edible food from the waste stream; Conduct outreach and education to all affected parties, including generators, haulers, facilities, and edible food recovery organizations;
Procure recycled organic waste products like compost, mulch, and renewable natural gas; and, Maintain accurate and timely records of SB 1383 compliance for annual reporting requirements;
Monitor compliance and conduct enforcement of the City' s enforcement ordinance.

CalRecycle' s regulations went into effect on January 1, 2022. The City adopted Ordinance No. 451 adding Chapter 8. 13 Mandatory Organic Waste Disposal Reduction to Title 8 Health and Safety of the Highland Municipal Code incorporating the requirements of SB 1383. In addition, the City adopted Ordinance No. 459 addressing the purchasing and procurement requirements.

DISCUSSION: On June 26, 2018 the City Council approved a Revised and Restated Collection Services Franchise Agreement ( Agreement) between the City and Burrtec Waste Industries ( Burrtec). This Agreement is attached hereto as Attachment 1. This Agreement became effective on that date and addressed any current or future diversion programs such as SB 1383 and the corresponding CalRecycle regulations. Burrtec' s request for this Amendment to the agreement was prompted by the extremely prescriptive requirements of SB 1383 and the City' s obligation to be in compliance with the regulation. While the City did implement the requirements of SB 1383 in a timely manner, including adjusting refuse collection rates addressing the cost impacts of SB 1383 the City Attorney felt it necessary to incorporate the requirements and expectations into the proposed Amendment. The Amendment is attached hereto as Attachment 2.

Key elements of the amendment are described as follows:

1. Definitions: Additional Definitions not contained in the original Agreement that are specific to SB 1383 is now included.

a. The requirement to provide for the separate collection of source separated recyclable materials, source separated green container organic waste, source separated brown container food waste, and gray container waste services. b. Burrtec shall not knowingly collect containers that include an excess of twenty- five percent 25%) by weight of prohibited container contaminants.
c. Burrtec shall provide the SB 1383 written notification to the City that by allowing the use of bags for food waste collection that it does not inhibit the ability of the City to comply with SB 1383 Regulations.

3. Waste Disposal Agreement: The Amendment allows Burrtec the flexibility from meeting its compliance requirements by any alternative methods or procedures after it has obtained the approval of the City in writing while still following the City' s current Waste Disposal Agreement or any that it shall enter into thereafter.

4. Billing and Enrollment Procedures: SB 1383 requires that jurisdictions implement an inspection and enforcement program to ensure organic waste generators comply with the requirements, including subscribing to the required services and assessing penalties and fines for continuous violations. This Amendment contains a provision to include a Contamination Processing Fee for continuous contamination occurrences, ensures that Burrtec will assist the City to enroll customers are subscribed to all mandated collection services and maintain all required recordkeeping.

5. SB 1383 Container Requirements: The Amendment requires Burrtec to comply with all mandated color and label combinations required by SB 1383.

6. Procurement of Recovered Organic Waste Products: The Amendment requires Burrtec to coordinate and cooperate with the City in meeting its recovered Organic Waste product procurement target, as required by SB 1383 Regulations.

7. Inspection and Enforcement: The Amendment requires that Burrtec assist the City in all required inspections, route reviews and recordkeeping for enforcement required by SB 1383.

8. Complaints and Reports of Non -Compliance: The Amendment requires that Burrtec assist the City in all required investigations and recordkeeping of complaints and reports of non- compliance required by SB 1383.

9. Organic Waste and Recyclable Material Capacity Guarantee: The Amendment requires that for facilities owned or operated by Burrtec or an affiliate of Burrtec, Burrtec shall provide written notification to the City that the facility has the capability to recover and/ or process organic waste.

Also, that the City shall not implement or enforce an ordinance, policy, procedure, permit condition, or initiative that prohibits the lawful processing of organic waste. 3 City Council Meeting of

Page 4 ends

10. Organics Recordkeeping and Reporting: SB 1383 has specific requirements for record keeping that are expanded beyond what is currently required for waste diversion programs.

This
Amendment requires Burrtec to maintain all required recordkeeping and reporting. Burrtec will allow City access to records via remote access to a third -party reporting software for the purposes of auditing and inspecting SB 1383- related records and reports. Burrtec currently provides access to the records through a program entitled Recyclist.

11. Contamination Monitoring: This section in the Amendment provides for the protocol, i. e. noticing and recordkeeping requirements for contamination monitoring process. This is the protocol that must be followed in order for a customer to be charged the Contamination Process Fee discussed previously in Section 4 of this report.

12. Route Reviews and Waste Evaluations: This Amendment provides Burrtec with two specific options to meet the Contamination Monitoring required by SB 1383. Contamination Monitoring can be met by route reviews and/ or waste evaluations. This section provides the requirements for both options and the recordkeeping necessary for compliance records.

13. Education and Outreach: The City in partnership with Burrtec already conducts education and outreach for all aspects of the solid waste and recycling programs provided to all customers.

However, in this section of the Amendment it includes specific SB 1383 required education and outreach including requirements for the Edible Food Recovery program.

14. Generator Waiver Program Coordination: In accordance with SB 1383 Regulations, the City may grant waivers from organic waste collection services to eligible organic waste generators. This new provision outlines the process for Burrtec to submit waiver to the City Staff for consideration.

SB 1383 requires that only jurisdictional staff may approve a waiver.

While all of the program required elements of SB 1383 have already been implemented in cooperation between Burrtec and the City this Amendment will formalize and memorialize the obligations of each party.
