AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF JURUPA
VALLEY, CALIFORNIA, ADDING CHAPTER 11.110, UNLAWFUL

VALLEY MUNICIPAL CODE

THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF JURUPA VALLEY DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

Section 1. Chapter 11.110, Unlawful Possession of a Catalytic Converter, is hereby added to the Jurupa Valley Municipal Code to read as follows:

11.110.010 Findings. The City Council hereby finds, determines and declares that:

A. The theft of catalytic converters has been an increasing problem in Riverside County and the City in recent years. The external location of catalytic converters and the use of valuable precious metals, including rhodium, palladium and platinum, in catalytic converters makes these devices a target for thieves. Individuals in possession of stolen catalytic converters often recycle them for substantial profit, while victims of these thefts suffer the consequences of paying thousands of dollars in repairs, the inconvenience of repairing their vehicles, and feeling unsafe in the community. Finding the victim of these crimes is extremely difficult due to the manner in which the catalytic converter thefts occur and lack of identifying markers on catalytic converters to link a stolen catalytic converter to the victim. The inability to identify the victims of catalytic converter thefts can inhibit the ability to successfully prosecute individuals for the thefts.

B. This Chapter is necessary to provide the City a means to protect the public, deter this criminal activity and promote a more productive use of City resources.

C. The purpose and intent of this Chapter is to curb the theft of catalytic converters throughout the City and to provide the City with reasonable means to addr ess the impact on the community and the victims posed by increasing catalytic converter thefts.

D. This Chapter promotes the health, safety and general welfare of people in the City.

11.110.020 Definitions. As used in this Chapter , the following terms shall have the following meanings:

A. “Council” means the City Council of the City of Jurupa Valley.

B. “City” means the City of Jurupa Valley.

C. “Catalytic converter” means any exhaust emission control device, or portion thereof, that converts toxic gases and pollutants in exhaust gas from an internal combustion engine into less-toxic pollutants.

RETURN TO AGENDA
-2-
12774-0001\2912179v1.doc
D. “Enforcement Officer ” means : (1) members of the Riverside County sheriff’s department or such other police agency under contract to provide police services to the city; (2) persons employed by the city whose job descriptions require the person to enforce the provisions of this code, including, but not limited to, code enforcement officers, or park rangers; and (3) such other employees of the city as may be designated by resolution of the city council.

E. “Lawful Possession” includes: (1) being the lawful owner of the catalytic converter or (2) being in possession of the catalytic converter with the lawful owner's verifiable written consent. It is not required to prove the catalytic converter was stolen to establish the possession is an Unlawful Possession.

F. “Proof of Ownership ” means w ritten document(s) clearly identifying the vehicle from which the catalytic converter originated based on the totality of the circumstances, which includes, but is not limited to, the following types of documents:

1. Bill of sale from the original owner with photographs.

2. Verifiable documentation from an auto -body shop proving the owner relinquished the catalytic converter to the auto-body shop.

3. Verifiable electronic communication from the previous owner to the possessor relinquishing ownership of the catalytic converter.

4. Photographs of the vehicl e from which the catalytic converter originated.

5. Vehicle registration associated with the catalytic converter containing an etched associated license plate number or vehicle identification number or driver’s license number of registered vehicle owner.

11.110.030. Unlawful Possession of a Catalytic Converter. Barring any provision of state law permitting the same, it is unlawful for any person to possess any catalytic converter which is not attached to a vehicle unless the person has a verifiable , valid proof of ownership of the catalytic converter.

A. This section does not apply to a detached catalytic converter that has been verifiably tested, certified, and labeled or otherwise approved for reuse, and is being bought or sold for purposes of reuse in accordance with the federal Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. § 7401 et seq.) and regulations under the Clean Air Act, as they may be amended from time to time.

B. It is unlawful for any person to knowingly falsify or cause to be falsified any information in a record intended to show valid proof of ownership.

-3-
12774-0001\2912179v1.doc
C. Evidence of unlawful possession may be presumed by the number of detached catalytic converters within one’s possession and/or by the condition of the dismantled catalytic converter(s), including but not limited to, the manner a catalytic converter has been detached or cut from a vehicle.

11.110 .040 Violations and Enforcement.

A. Misdemeanor Penalty. Any person who violates any provision of this Chapter is guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction shall be punished by a fine not exceeding one thousand dollars ($1,000), or by imprisonment in the county jail for a term not exceeding one year, or by both.

B. Administrative Citations. Violations of this Chapter are subject to administrative citations and penalties pursuant to Chapter 1.20 of the Jurupa Valley Municipal Code. The fine for such violations shall be one thousand dollars ($1,000) or such other amount as provided by resolution of the City Council or applicable law.

C. State Penalties Apply. Nothing in this Chapter shall be intended to limit any of the penalties provided for under California law, including but not limited to the Penal Code, with regard to the sale, use, possession, delivery, and/or receipt of catalytic converters.

D. Separate Offenses. Acts, omissi ons, or condi tions in violation of this Chapter that continue, exist, or occur on more than one day constitute separate violations on each day. Acts, omissions, or conditions in violation of this Chapter constitute separate violations for each and every c atalytic converter in the person’s possession that is not attached to a vehicle unless the person has a valid proof of ownership of the catalytic converter as required by this Chapter. A person is guilty of a separate offense for each and every day or por tion thereof during which he or she commits, continues, or permi ts a violation of this Chapter . A person is deemed guilty of a separate offense for each and every violation of this Chapter, or any portion thereof. Likewise, a person shall be deemed guilty of a separate offense for each and every catalytic converter in the person’s possession that is not attached to a vehicle unless the person has a valid proof of ownership of the catalytic converter as required by this Chapter.

Section 2. If any section or provision of this Ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional by any court of competent jurisdiction, or contravened by reason of any preemptive legislation, the remaining sections and/or provisions of this Ordinance shall remain valid. The City Council hereby declares that it would have adopted this Ordinance, and each section or provision thereof, regardless of the fact that any one or more section(s) or provision(s) may be declared invalid or unconstitutional or contravened via legislation.

Section 3. The Mayor shall sign and the City Clerk shall certify to the passage and adoption of this Ordinance and shall cause the same or a summary thereof to be published and posted in the manner required by law.

COMMENDATION
T
hat the City Council approve Fiscal Year 2023-24 Year-End Budget Amendments to the City’s Budget provided in Exhibit A.

AN
ALYSIS
T
he FY 2023-24 Budget was adopted on June 15, 2023. The budget cycle begins each fiscal year with the council adoption of the proposed budget. Throughout the year, different staff reports may request additional budget adjustments. Revenues and expenditures are budgeted based upon the anticipated level of activity. However, it is often the case that as the fiscal year progresses some activities need to be increased or decreased to reflect changing circumstances. Consequently, most cities evaluate financial activities at or shortly after the midpoint and end of the budget year to determine if changes in resource allocation are necessary to meet these changing circumstances.

A
fter review of both revenue and expenditure activities for Fiscal Year 2023- 24, staff is recommending budget adjustments as shown on Exhibit A. The review estimated activity to include year -end accruals that will occur through the end of August, which means closing the accounting records at year end in preparation of the audit includes evaluating all revenues and expenditures that occur in July and August to determine if they are part of the activity of Fiscal Year 2023- 24. The majority of the revenue adjustments reflect increases in tax revenue, grants, reimbursement revenues from other agencies or interest income. The majority of the expenditure adjustments are related to grants and special revenue funds.

BACKGROUND

CFD No. 2024-1 (The District-City)

The City of Jurupa Valley is experiencing significant growth with new residential and non- residential development. As a result of this growth, the City must be able to accommodate the needs of new development with expanded services and infrastructure. In order to fund expanded services and infrastructure, the City has developed a plan of finance that requires new development to form or join CFD ’s to pay special taxes that will support needed new City services and infrastructure. The District at Jurupa Valley Specific Plan (“The District”) is a major development in the City. The developers of The District and the City have been negotiating to find a mutually acceptable means to finance and mitigate the impact that The District will have on general City services and infrastructure. The Documents proposed to be accepted and adopted in this proceeding relating to CFD No. 2024-1 (The District -City) are the result of those negotiations and are anticipated to provide the City with revenues to m itigate the proportionate share of new development impact that is expected to result from The District. The type of services and infrastructure to be supported by CFD No. 2024- 1 (The District-City) special tax revenues are typical public services and improvements and are generally described in the Documents.

CFD No. 2024-1 (The District-Facilities)

The District will require significant public improvements within the boundaries of the project. CFD No. 2024- 2 (The District -Facilities) provides a funding mechanism to construct said public improvements directly necessary for The District to proceed. The Documents proposed to be accepted and adopted in this proceeding relating to CFD No.

PPROVAL OF THE FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE STREET

MAINTENANCE SERVICES AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF

JURUPA VALLEY AND MCE CORPORATION
RE

COMMENDATION
1) T
hat the City Council approve the First Amendment to the Agreement for Street Maintenance Services between the City of Jurupa Valley and MCE Corporation and authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement in substantially the form and format attached and as approved by the City Attorney.

BACKGROUND
S
ince incorporation in 2011, the City of Jurupa Valley has engaged a private contractor to maintain City streets and right-of-ways. In May 2016, MCE Corporation was awarded a three-year contract, accompanied by the possibility of two one-year extensions, both of which were exercised by the City. These actions extended MCE’s contract to 2021.

Anticipating the contract’s expiration, the City published a request for proposals and MCE was selected again to provide the services in February 2021. The contract commenced in June 2021 for a three-year term with an option for two additional one-year extensions.

The initial term of the agreement will conclude on June 30, 2024.

AN
ALYSIS
MC
E has been in business for 39 years, and brings extensive experience working with various government agencies, including entities such as the City of Claremont, City of Pomona, City of Dublin, and the City of Jurupa Valley. Within their Maintenance Division, MCE holds multiple municipal contracts covering a spectrum of services encompassing parks, streets, storm drains, and buildings. Notably, MCE has effectively managed the City's Street and right -of-way maintenance since 2016, delivering dependable, efficient, and cost -effective services to the City's public works and infrastructure maintenanc e operations. City Staff is pleased with the level and quality of services. It is recommended

RETURN TO AGENDA
Page | 2

to exercise the two, one -year extensions along with an additional two years, extending the contract term through June 30, 2028. It may be noted that MCE is supplementing City Staff to provide street maintenance services. The Public Works Department continues to bring additional staff in-house elevating the level of services.

The 2021 Agreement incl udes a not-to-exceed budget of $800,000 per fiscal year, with monthly services rendered to the City at a fixed monthly rate. Any additional services such as specialty work or non- routine services, are approved by the City on an as -needed basis.

The Agreement contains a condition which entitles MCE to rate adjustments based on the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”). CPI is a tool used to measure the average fluctuation of prices for goods and services. MCE agreed to waive CPI rate adjustments for the years 2022 and 2023, with the exception that if CPI exceeded 3.5% for any year, then MCE may request partial CPI rate adjustments for their services at the City’s discretion.

The CPI adjustment was 5.8% in 2021 and 8.7% in 2022. Although MCE did not request adjustments to the agreement at the time, MCE is requesting the partial adjustments for 2022 of 2.3%, partial adjustment for 2023 of 5.2% and the full CPI adjustment for 2024 of

4.7%, which equates to a total of 12.2%.Staff negotiated the CPI rate adjustment to 1.1% for 2022, 2.6% for 2023 and 3.5% for 2024 which equates to a total of 7.2%, in exchange for extending the contract through June 30, 2028. If approved, the First Amendment will entitle MCE to annual CPI for years 2025, 2026, and 2027. CPI increases will be capped at 3.5% per year. The proposed amendment retains the provision that if the CPI adjustment exceeds 3.5% in any year, MCE may make the request for additional adjustments and approval is at the City’s sole discretion.

FINANCIAL IMPACT

The First Amendment extends the existing Agreement through June 30, 2028. The Amendment will include a not-to-exceed amount of $804,000 for fiscal year 2024-25. The maintenance services provided are funded with the City’s Gas Tax revenues , and does not have an impact on the General Fund.

ALTERNATIVES

1) Do not approve the First Amendment to the Agreement for Street Maintenance Services
2) Provide alternative direction to Staff.

2023, the City Council awarded a construction agreement to Calmex Engineering, Inc. in the amount of $8,643,891.20 for the 2023-2024 Pavement Rehabilitation (ARPA) Project, CIP #23111. The Project scope consists of pavement rehabilitation, installing ADA compliant access ramps, and new striping.

Staff is proposing an amendment to this contract to complete pavement rehabilitation on Mission Blvd between Riverview Dr and the eastern City Limit at the Mission Bridge over the Santa Ana River and Limonite Ave from Felspar St to Bain St.

ANALYSIS

In order to facilitate the completion of pavement maintenance on Mission Blvd, staff is proposing the First Amendment to the Agreement to increase the contract amount by $2,160,973, bringing the total contract amount to $10,804,864 . This increased contract capacity will be used to resurface Mission Blvd and Limonite Ave and complete other improvements including curb ramp upgrades, utility adjustments and new thermoplastic striping. Amending the contract allows the C ity to save time and money by eliminating processing time and contractor price markups. The contractor has agreed to honor existing unit prices from the existing contract and if approved, construction is expected to begin in July 2024 with anticipated completion by the end of August 2024.

FINANCIAL IMPACT

If the First Amendment is approved, the existing contract will be increased by $2,160,973 for a contract amount of $10,804,864. This amendment will be funded through 2023-2024 Pavement Rehabilitation (ARPA) Project, CIP #23111. The budgeted funds are sufficient to cover the cost of this phase of the project and the necessary support services.

OTHER INFORMATION

The City of Jurupa Valley investment policy has three primary goals:

• To assure compliance with federal, state, and local laws governing the investment of public monies under the control of the Office of City Manager and Finance Director.
• To protect the principal monies entrusted to the City.

City of Jurupa Valley
Statement of Investment Policy
Fiscal Year 2025

INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this document is to outline the policy on the investment of public monies.

It is the policy of the City of Jurupa Valley to predicate it’s investment policies, procedures, and practices upon the limitations placed upon them by the City Council. These policies shall have three primary goals:

• To assure compliance with federal, state, and local laws governing the investment of public monies under the control of the City Manager and Finance Director.

• To protect the principal monies entrusted to the City.

• To generate the maximum amount of investment income within the parameters of prudent risk management as defined in this Statement of Investment Policy.

For the purposes of this policy, "Investment Officers" shall be defined as the City Manager, Assistant City Manager, and the Finance Director.

1.0 Scope

This Statement of Investment Policy shall apply to all funds that are under the control of the Finance Director, including, but not limited to, the general fund; special revenue funds; debt service funds; capital project funds; enterprise funds; trust and agency funds; and any other funds under the control of the Finance Director. These funds are accoun ted for in the City’s Annual Comprehensive Financial Report.

Investment of bond proceeds and related reserve funds shall be governed by the documents authorizing the issuance of such indebtedness.

The City's Deferred Compensation Plan ("Plan") shall be e xcluded from the scope of this Statement of Investment Policy if: (1) a third-party administrator manages the Plan; (2) individual plan participants have control over the selection of investments; and (3) the City has no fiduciary responsibility to act as a "trustee" for the Plan. The only exception to the foregoing shall be that if the City retains the fiduciary responsibility to act as a trustee for the Plan, then the provisions of this Statement of Investment Policy shall apply to the investment of Plan assets. Under these circumstances, the Finance Director shall provide the Investment Committee and the City Council with a quarterly report on the investment of Plan assets.

2.0 Standard of Care

Investment Policy for Fiscal Year 2025 Exhibit A

Investment Officers, as trustees of public monies, shall adhere to the “prudent investor" standard when managing the City's investment portfolios. They shall invest "...all governing bodies of local agencies or persons authorized to make investment decisions on behalf of those local agencies investing public fund s pursuant to this chapter are trustees and therefore fiduciaries subject to the prudent investor standard. When investing, reinvesting, purchasing, acquiring, exchanging, selling, or managing public funds, a trustee shall act with care, skill, prudence , and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing, including, but not limited to, the general economic conditions and the anticipated needs of the City, that a prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiarity with those matters would use in the conduct of funds of a like character and with like aims, to safeguard the principal and maintain the liquidity needs of the City. Within the limitations of this section and considering individual investments as part of an overall strategy, investments may be acquired as authorized by law."

Investment Officers who follow the provisions of thi s Statement of Investment Policy, and who exercise due diligence shall be relieved of personal responsibility for a security's credit risk or market price risk provide d that they report substantial deviations from expectations to the City Manager and to the Investment Committee in a timely manner and that they take appropriate action to control adverse developments. "Substantial deviations" shall be defined as either a decline of 10 percent or more in the market value of a security due to issuer default or a credit risk downgrade or the premature sale of a security at 10 percent or more below its acquisition cost.

3.0 Objectives

The City's investment objectives, in order of priority, shall be:

3.1 Safety. Safety of principal shall be the foremost objective. Investments shall be made with the aim of avoiding capital losses due to issuer default; broker -dealer default; or market value erosion. Principal shall be preserved by mitigating:

3.1.1 Credit Risk, the risk of loss due to the failure of the issuer of the security, shall be mitigated by investing in only the highest quality securities and by diversifying investments; and

3.1.2 Market Risk, the risk of loss due to a decline in bond pr ices because of rising market interest rates, shall be mitigated by structuring the portfolios so that issues mature concurrently with the City's anticipated cash requirements, thereby eliminating the need to sell securities prematurely on the open market.

3.1.3 It is recognized, however, that in a diversified portfolio, occasional measured losses are inevitable and must be

Investment Policy for Fiscal Year 2025 Exhibit A

considered within the context of the overall investment strategy.

3.2 Liquidity. An adequate percentage of the portfolios shall be maintained i n liquid, short -term securities that can be converted to cash, if necessary, to meet disbursement requirements. Since all cash requirements cannot be anticipated, the portfolios should consist largely of securities with active secondary markets. These secu rities should have a relatively low sensitivity to market risk. Maximum overall portfolio maturities are referenced in section 15.0, paragraph 2 of this Statement of Investment Policy.

3.3 Yield. Yield shall be considered only after the basic requirements of safety and liquidity have been met.

4.0 Delegation of Authority

California Government Code Sections 53607 and 53608 authorize the legislative body of a local agency to invest, deposit, and provide for the safekeeping of the local agency ' s funds or to delegate those responsibilities to the treasurer of the local agency.

The Finance Director, City Manager, or Assistant City Manager shall have the exclusive authority to buy and sell securities on behalf of the City. They shall engage in mutual consultation and in collective decision making on economic trends, investment opportunities, and portfolio structuring.

The City may engage the services of one or more external investment advisers, who are registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, to assist in the management of the City’s investment portfolio in a manner consistent with the City’s objectives. External investment advisers may be granted discretion to purchase and sell investment securities in accordance with this investment policy.

5.0 Internal Controls

The Finance Director shall be responsible for ensuring that all investment transactions comply with the City’s Statement of Investment Policy and for establishing internal controls that are designed to prevent losses due to fraud, neglige nce, and third -party misrepresentation. The Finance Director shall update the written procedures for the operation of the City’s investment program that are consistent with this Statement of Investment Policy.

Internal controls deemed most important shall include: avoidance of collusion; separation of duties and administrative controls; separating transaction authority from accounting and record keeping; custodial safekeeping; clear delegation of authority; management approval and review of investment transactions; specific limitations regarding securities losses and remedial action; writ ten confirmation of telephone transactions; documentation of investment transactions and strategies; and monitoring of

Investment Policy for Fiscal Year 2025 Exhibit A

results.

The Investment Committee consists of t wo City Council members, selected by the Mayor, and the Finance Director. The Committee shall be responsible for reviewing changes to the City investment reports, transactions, policies and procedures, and strategies, on a quarterly basis.

6.0 Ethics and Conflict of Interest

Investment Officers shall refrain from personal business activity t hat could conflict with the proper execution of the City's investment program or impair their ability to make impartial investment decisions. They shall disclose to th e City Council any material financial interest in financial institutions that conduct business within the City's jurisdiction. They shall also disclose any personal investment positions that could be related to the performance of the City's investment port folios. Investment Officers shall subordinate their personal investment transactions to t hose of the City, particularly with regard to the timing of securities purchases and sales, and shall avoid transactions that might impair public confidence.

Investment Officers and their immediate relatives shall not accept or solicit any gifts, gratuities, honorariums, or favors from persons or entities who provide or who are seeking to provide financial services to the City.

All participants in the investment process are required to comply with terms of the Political Reform Act, Fair Political Practice s Commission Regulations promulgated thereunder (2 C.C.R. §§ 18110 through 18998), the City’s Conflict of Interest Policy, including, without limitation, filing of For m 700, notification and recusal obligations, and Government Code section 1090 prohibitions.

The Finance Director shall keep current audited annual financial statements on file for each approved broker-dealer with which the City does business.

Where possible, transactions with broker/dealers shall be selected on a competitive basis and their bid or offering prices shall be recorded.

Selection of broker/dealers used by an external investment adviser retained by the Agency will be at the sole discretion of the adviser. Where possible, transactions with broker/dealers shall be selected on a competitive basis and their bid or offering prices shall be recorded. If there is no other readily available competitive offering, best efforts will be made to document quotations for comparable or alternative securities. When purchasing o riginal issue instrumentality securities, no competitive offerings will be required as all dealers in the selling group offer those securities at the same original issue price.

8.0 Authorized Public Depositories

The Finance Director shall maintain an Approved List of all commercial banks that the Finance Committee and the City Council have authorized as public depositories of City monies. This List shall be provided to all members of the City Council and the Finance Committee.

The City's Custodian shall be represented on the Approved List .

SAFEKEEPING AND CUSTODY. To protect against potential losses due to failure of individual securities dealers, and to enhance access to securities, interest payments and maturity proceeds, all cash and securities in the City’s portfolio shall be held in safekeeping in the City ’s name by a third -party custodian, acting as agent for the City under the terms of a custody agreement executed by the bank and the City. All invest ment transactions will require a safekeeping receipt or acknowledgment generated from the trade.

The only exception to the foregoing shall be securities purchases made with:

If they are unavailable, then the management authorization chain-of-command specified in section 4.0, paragraph 2 of this Statement of Investment Policy shall be followed.

10.0 Collateralization

CERTIFICATES OF DEPOSIT (CDS). Investment Officers shall ensure that all demand deposits and all non -negotiable certificates of deposit that exceed the FDIC insured limit, shall be fully collateralized with securities authorized under state law and under this Statement of Investment Polic y. Collateral may be waived up to the FDIC limit for CD's since these will be insured by the FDIC. Any amou nt on deposit over the FDIC limit plus accrued interest, however, shall be collateralized with United States Treasury or federal agency securities at a constant margin ratio of 110 percent or with mortgage -backed collateral at a constant margin ratio of 150 percent.

Any investment currently held at the time the policy is adopted which does not meet the new policy guidelines can be held until maturity, and shall be exempt from the current policy.

Investment Policy for Fiscal Year 2025 Exhibit A

Trading securities for the sole purpose of speculating on the future direction of interest rates is prohibited.

Purchasing or selling securities on margin is prohibited.

The use of reverse repurchase agreements, securities lending or any other form of borrowing or leverage is prohibited.

13.0 Investment Pools / Mutual Funds

Investment Officers shall investigate all local government investment pools ("LGIPs") and mutual funds prior to investing public monies and periodically thereafter while City public monies are invested in the LGI P. With the exception of LAIF , all LGIPs shall meet the criteria specified for money market funds in this Statement of Investment Policy. Annually, the Designated Official shall seek responses to the following questions from any investment pool or mutual fund in which the Agency invests:

 A description of eligible investment securities, and a written statement of investment policy and objectives.
 A description of interest calculations and how it is distributed, and how gains and losses are treated.
 A descr iption of how the securities are safeguarded (including the settlement processes), and how often the securities are priced and the program audited.
 A description of who may invest in the program, how often, what size deposit and withdrawal are allowed.
 A schedule for receiving statements and portfolio listings.  Are reserves, retained earnings, etc. utilized by the pool/fund?  A fee schedule, and when and how it is assessed.
 Is the pool/fund eligible for bond proceeds and/or will it accept such proceeds?

14.0 Diversification

Investment Officers shall diversify the City's investment portfolio by security type and by issuer to avoid incurring unreasonable risks inherent in over - investing in specific instruments, individual financial institutions or maturities.

No more than 5 percent of the total portfolio market value may be invested in securities of any single issuer, except where the issuer i s the US Government, its Agencies and GSEs, supranational securities, collateralized

Investment Policy for Fiscal Year 2025 Exhibit A

deposits, m utual funds, money market mutual funds or local government investment pools.

15.0 Maximum Maturity

Investment Officers shall not invest in securities with mat urities exceeding five years. The Investment Committee and City Council, however, may approve longer maturities for the investment of bond reserve, bond escrow, and other funds if the maturities of such investments are expected to coincide with the use of the funds.

Maturities may vary from 1 day to five years at the investment officers’ discretion. The portfolio should be managed in such a manner as to to meet the City’s liquidity, safety and capital preservation needs.

16.0 Portfolio Rebalancing

In th e event that portfolio percentage constraints are violated due to a temporary imbalance in the portfolio, then Investment Officers may hold the affected securities to maturity in order to avoid capital losses. If no capital losses would be realized upon sa le, however, then the Investment Officers shall consider rebalancing the portfolio after evaluating the expected length of time that it will be imbalanced. Portfolio percentage limits are in place in order to ensure diversification of the City investment p ortfolio; a small, temporary imbalance, not to exceed three months, will not significantly impair that strategy. Bond or note proceeds shall not be factored into the balance of the portfolio.

17.0 Credit Downgrading

This Statement of Investment Policy sets forth minimum credit risk criteria for each type of security. This credit risk criteria applies to the initial purch ase of a security; it does not automatically force the sale of a security if its credit risk ratings fall below policy limits.

If a security is downgraded below the minimum credit risk criteria specified in this Statement of Investment Policy, then:
 Any actions taken by related to the downgrade by the investment manager will be communicated to the Investment Officer in a timely manner.
 The Investment Officers shall evaluate the downgrade on a case -by-case basis in order to determine if the security should be held or sold.

The Finance Director shall inform the Finance Committee at its next regular meeting of the credit downgrade and of the Investment Officer's decision to hold or sell the downgraded security.

The Investment Officers shall review the credit standing of all securities in the

Investment Policy for Fiscal Year 2025 Exhibit A

City's investment portfolios on a semiannual basis.

18.0 Portfolio Benchmark

The Treasurer shall monitor and evaluate the portfolio’s performance relative to market benchmark, which will be included in the Treasurer's m onthly report. The Treasurer shall select an appropriate, readily available index to use as a market benchmark.

The City’s portfolios ma y be actively managed for purposes of improving portfolio risk structure, liquidity, or yield in response to market conditions or to meet City requirements.

19.0 Performance Reporting

The Finance Director shall provide monthly transaction reports to the Investment Committee at the regularly scheduled meeting in accordance with California Government Code Section 53607.

This report shall include a complete portfolio inventory with details on issue, par value, market value, coupon/rate, original settlement date of purchase, final maturity date, average weighted yield, and average days to maturity, and market value (including source of market valuation). The report will include a statement on compliance or noncompliance with the City’s Statement of Investment Policy and a statement on whether there are or are not sufficient funds to meet the Cit y's anticipated cash requiremen ts for the next six months.

20.0 Policy Review and Adoption

The Finance Director shall submit a Statement of Investment Policy to the City Council annually for their review and adoption.

FFCB. The Federal Farm Credit Bank System provides credit and liquidity in the agricultural industry. FFCB issues discount notes and bonds.

FHLB. The Federal Home Loan Bank pro vides credit and liquidity in the housing market. FHLB issues discount notes and bonds.

FHLMC. Like FHLB, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation provides credit and liquidity in the housing market. FHLMC, also called "FreddieMac" issues discount notes, bonds and mortgage pass-through securities.

FNMA. Like FHLB and FreddieMac, the Federal National Mortgage Association was established to provide credit and liquidity in the housing market. FNMA, also known as "FannieMae" issues discount notes, bonds and mortgage pass-through securities.

GNMA. The Government National Mortgage Association, known as "GinnieMae" issues mortgage pass-through securities, which are guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the US Government.

PEFCO. The Private Export Funding Corporation assists exporters.

Obligations of PEFCO are not guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the US government.

TVA. The Tennessee Valley Authority provides flood control and power and promotes development in portions of the Tennessee, Ohio, an d Mississippi River valleys. TVA currently issues discount notes and bonds.

Approved List. A list maintained by the Finance Director of all commercial banks that the Finance Committee and the City Council have authorized as public depositories of City monies.

Asset Backed Securities. Securities supported by pools of installment loans or leases or by pools of revolving lines of credit.

Average Life. In mortgage-related investments, including CMOs, the average time to expected receipt of principal payments, weighted by the amount of principal expected.

Bankers' Acceptance. A money market instrument created to facilitate international trade transactions. It is highly liquid and safe because the risk of the trade transaction is transferred to the bank which "accepts" the obligation to pay the investor.

Benchmark. A comparison security or portfolio. A performance benchmark is a partial market index, which reflects the mix of securities allowed under a specific investment policy.

Investment Policy for Fiscal Year 2025 Exhibit A

Bid. The price at which a buyer offers to buy a security.

Broker. A broker brings buyers and sellers together for a transaction for which the broker receives a commission. A broker does not sell securities from his own position.

Callable. A callable security gives the issuer the opt ion to call it from the investor prior to its maturity. The main cause of a call is a decline in interest rates. If interest rates decline since an issuer issues securities, it will likely call its current securities and reissue them at a lower rate of int erest. Callable securities have reinvestment risk as the investor may receive its principal back when interest rates are lower than when the investment was initially made.

Certificate of Deposit (CD). A time deposit with a specific maturity evidenced by a certificate. Large denomination CDs may be marketable.

Credit Risk. The risk that principal and/or interest on an investment will not be paid in a timely manner due to changes in the condition of the issuer.

Current Yield. The annual income from an investment divided by the current market value.

Dealer. A dealer acts as a principal in security transactions, selling securities from and buying securities for his own position.

Delivery vs. Payment (DVP). A securities industry procedure whereby payment for a security must be made at the time the security is delivered to the purchaser’s agent.

Investment Policy for Fiscal Year 2025 Exhibit A

DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM NO. 11.P
IN

ITIATION OF A ZONING CODE AMENDMENT TO ESTABLISH

SINGLE-FAMILY AND MULTI-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL AND MIXED-USE

OBJECTIVE DEVELOPMENT AND DESIGN STANDARDS
RE

COMMENDATION
By motion, that the City Council initiate a Zoning Code Amendment to establish housing, multi-family, and mixed-use objective development and design standards.

BACKGROUND
Senate Bills (SB) 330 and SB 35
With the passage of fast-track, permit-streamlining housing requirements such as Senate Bills 330 and 35, legislation introduced by the State of California has limited local jurisdictions from denying or reducing the density of housing development through subjective discretionary design standards and reviews. These laws do not mandate cities to adopt objective design standards; however, they do restrict cities' authority to approve, deny, or manage housing projects without such standards.

SB 330, the Housing Crisis Act of 2019, provides for a faster housing project review process through preliminary application for housing developments. SB 35 requires cities to streamline the review and approval of eligible affordable housing projects through a ministerial p rocess and mandates the establishment of objective design standards for multifamily residential developments.

Objective Design Standards for Housing Projects
SB 35 notably highlights the importance of objective design standards and defines them as standards that involve, “no personal or subjective judgment by a public official and is uniformly verifiable by reference to an external and uniform benchmark or criterion available and knowable by both the development applicant and the public official prior to submittal.” The Housing Accountability Act (HAA) reiterates the importance of objective design standards and extends them to all market-rate and affordable housing projects.

RETURN TO AGENDA
Page | 2

Current Housing Provisions
Upon incorporation, the City adopted the Riverside County wide Design Standards and Guidelines that are applicable for residential projects with a minimum lot size of 1.5 acre or less and in zones R -1, R-1A, R-2, R-2A, R-3, R-3A, R-4, and R -6 and with certain residential land use designations. These standards and guidelines would apply to single- family dwelling and multi-family dwelling unless the City Council or Planning Commission would impose other standards or have adopted other standards.

Since the adoption of the Countywide Design Standards and Guidel ines in 2011, it became apparent that some guidelines lack objectivity and may be unenforceable in light of recent housing legislation. Additionally, this effort to adopt additional objective design standards should include further review of the City’s existing multi- family development standards (JVMC Section 9.240.545) and address the needs to apply provisions covering single-family unit projects that are not subject to the Traditional Neighborhood Design Ordinance.

Adopting objective design standards is relevant to the City’s General Plan, which includes a specific Land Use Element (LUA) goal related to architectural guidelines. Implementing objective design standards helps fulfill this goal, which reads as follows:
“LUE 11.1.1 Architectural Guidelines. Within 18 months of adopting the 2017 General Plan, adopt Architectural Guidelines addressing site planning, building and landscape design, and signage. The Guidelines shall update and, where appropriate, merge and integrate community design standards developed by the County of Riverside and applied to various areas within Jurupa Valley.” The City is recommended to update, expand, and enhance its development and design guidelines for all multi-family residential and mixed-use developments. Such an action is especially important given that growth projections indicate a substantial increase in multi- family residential construction as well as mixed residential/commercial development.

Moreover, the City will need to approve a significant number of housing units to meet its RHNA requirements.

The Western Riverside Council of Governments (WRCOG) has created an Objective Design Standards Toolkit for cities to use as a template to create effective and consistent standards and streamline the review and approval processes. This document will be utilized to facilitate and expedite the adoption of this code amendment.

ANALYSIS
The purpose of the Zoning Code Amendment is to establish consistent objective standards so that applicants know beforehand whic h requirements apply, to streamline the entitlement process, and to fulfill the goals and objectives outlined in the General Plan.

Potential amendments to the Code may include:
• Adopting objective design standards for certain architectural styles.

Page | 3

• Enhancing and updating existing guidelines and objective standards for multi - family development to ensure they are comprehensive and effective in promoting community integration, compatibility, and aesthetic appeal. • Repealing, replacing, merging, and/or integrating existing development and design sections to enhance clarity and consistency throughout the code. • Adding new development standards specifically tailored for multi-family and mixed- use developments, such as requirements for façade articulation, 360- degree design considerations, and landscaping guidelines.
• Ensuring consistency with other residential development and design standards, such as overlays and specific plans, to create a cohesive and harmonious built environment.
• Including provisions to clarify the streamlined ministerial review criteria and process, ensuring that the review process is efficient, transparent, and in line with regulatory requirements.
• Refining the overall review process by creating a pre-application stage, enhancing any complementary development and design guideline documents, and producing a compliance checklist to guide applicants through the process and ensure adherence to established standards and requirements.

Initiation process
A Zoning Code Amendment requires initiation by the City Council. The following considerations apply to the initiation process, which solely authorizes the process to commence:

1. The initiation of a Zoning Code Amendment does not involve evaluating the merits of the proposed project; it simply determi nes whether to proceed with a formal evaluation process and subsequent public hearings.

2. While the Council may express opinions on proceeding with the formal evaluation process, it should withhold opinions on the merits or the final decision until after the evaluation process and public hearings conclude.

3. The current issue before the Council is whether to initiate the Zoning Code Amendment. Following the formal evaluation process and public hearings, the City Council will have the opportunity to approve, disapprove, or make changes to the Zoning Code.

NOTICING REQUIREMENTS
There is no requirement for public notice for an initiation of a Zoning Code Amendment.

Public notices for future hearings will be prepared and distributed as required.

Objective Design Standards Toolkit
Western Riverside Council of Governments
v
This Toolkit provides a range of Objective Design Standards (ODS) for multifamily and mixed-use residential development designed to address new and amended California State laws authored to increase housing production. These laws require the review or streamlining of eligible projects through the use of “objective” design standards. Unlike design guidelines, which are open to interpretation and discussion objective design standards facilitate ministerial, staff-level project review and increased approval times.

Objective design standards are intended to make the requirements that apply to certain eligible residential projects more predictable and easier to interpret for all stakeholders, including decision makers, staff, applicants, and members of the public. The purpose of objective design standards is for applicants to know beforehand what requirements apply to a proposed development and for the applicant to be able to design a project that meets those requirements before submittal.

Objective design standards may include portions of general plans, specific plans, zoning codes, overlay zones, subdivision requirements, and landscaping and other land development regulations.

INTRODUCTION
This Toolkit contains a variety of “model” Objective Design Standards gathered from jurisdictions across Riverside County and elsewhere. Standards related to specific design and development topics are presented herein as stand-alone modules that can be edited, modified and combined in any number of configurations.

The intent of this module format is to provide local jurisdictions within Western Riverside County a template for customizing Objective Design Standards to their local needs.

HOUSING LAW1
2 Draft • August 2022
The legislation introduced below limit the ability of local jurisdictions to deny or reduce the density of housing
developments using subjective, discretionary design review. These laws do not require cities and counties to adopt objective design standards. Rather, they restrict cities’ authority to approve, deny or manage the streamlining of, housing projects without them.

Draft • August 2022
3 Chapter 1: Recent Housing Law

1.1 SENATE BILL (“SB”) 35
SB 35 requires cities and counties to streamline review and approval of eligible affordable housing projects through a ministerial process, exempting such projects from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”). This process does not allow public hearings to consider the merits of the project; rather only design review or public oversight of the development is allowed, which must be objective and strictly focused on assessing compliance with criteria required for streamlined projects as well as objective design review of the project (Section 65913.4(c)(1).

SB 35 requires the availability of a streamlined ministerial approval process for multifamily residential developments in jurisdictions that have not yet made sufficient progress toward meeting their regional housing need allocation (RHNA) goal for construction of above-moderate income housing and/or housing for units below 80% area median income (AMI).

As a part of this streamlining process, cities are required to establish objective design standards for multifamily residential development. SB 35 defines an objective design standard as one that involves “no personal or subjective judgment by a public official and is uniformly verifiable by reference to an external and uniform benchmark or criterion available and knowable by both the development applicant…and the public official prior to submittal. ” Like quantitative development or zoning standards, objective design standards provide a clear and straight forward application and approval process for multifamily housing construction.

Projects eligible for SB 35 streamlining include multifamily infill developments with a portion of affordable units. They must be consistent with underlying zoning and be evidenced to have no human health impacts or impacts to natural or historical resources.

1.3 SB 330
Senate Bill 330 Housing Accountability Crisis Act of 2019 provides for a faster housing project review process. It states that all A local governments must provide a preliminary application for housing development projects seeking vesting rights. The application allows applicants to provide a limited subset of information on the proposed project. After submitting the preliminary application to the local agency, applicants have 180 days to submit a full application or the preliminary application will expire.

SB 330 also established time limits for final application review. The law states that “Not later than 30 calendar days after any public agency has received an application for a development project, the agency shall determine in writing whether the application is complete.” SB 330 provides for an applicant appeal process, and limits review of the appeal by the jurisdiction to 60 days

1.2 HHA (HOUSING

ACCOUNTABILITY ACT)
CODE SECTION 65589.5
According to the Housing Accountability Act, no “housing development project” can be denied or reduced in density if it complies with objective general plan, zoning and design standards, unless it is shown to have a “specific adverse impact” to public health that cannot mitigated. The amended law states that cities and counties must identify any inconsistencies with any applicable “plan, program, policy, ordinance, standard, requirement, or similar provision” within 30 days after an application for 150 units or less has been deemed complete, or within 60 days for projects with more than 150 units. If the local agency does not identify an inconsistency within the required period, the project will be “deemed consistent.” (§§ 65589.5(j)(2).)
HAA also states that If the zoning for a project site is inconsistent with the general plan, but the housing project is consistent with ‘objective’ general plan standards, the project is considered consistent, and no rezoning or zoning variance is required.

Unlike SB 35 streamlining legislation, the provisions of the HAA apply to all market rate and affordable housing projects.

These include projects with residential units only, mixed-use developments with at least 2/3 the square footage dedicated to housing and transitional or supportive housing projects.

5 Chapter 1: Recent Housing Law

1.4 APPLICABILITY
Objective Design Standards adopted in response to SB35 apply to new multifamily development proposals, except those areas located within the boundary of a Specific Plan. According to the parameters set forth by Senate Bill 35, the Streamlined Ministerial Process shall be available to proposed communities having at least 10% of units priced to be affordable to households making at or below 80% of the Area Median Income level (AMI), prior to calculating any density bonus.

The site must meet the “infill” requirements (SB 35 definition) and be zoned for residential or mixed-use development. The applicant must also demonstrate that the site is not within Prime Farmland, or farmland within statewide importance, wetlands, a very high fire hazard severity zone, an earthquake fault zone, special flood hazard area, protected habitat area, or a conservation easement.

1.5 GUIDELINE VS STANDARD
Many jurisdictions use design guidelines as a tool to shape the design of sites and buildings. Design guidelines provide direction to applicants and staff when reviewing projects but are often vague and open to interpretation, which adds uncertainty to the development process. Guidelines and standards are distinguished by their level of enforceability. In general, objective standards are requirements (e.g., “shall” or “must”), and guidelines are recommendations (e.g., “should” or “may”)

2.1 PREPARING OBJECTIVE

DESIGN STANDARDS
This Toolkit offers an outline and structure for the kinds of topics WRCOG communities may wish to address through Objective Design Standards (ODS). It can be, if desired, adopted in total for this purpose.

However, most cities already have a number of design policies and standards expressed in their Municipal Code, General Plan, Design Guidelines and other similar planning documents. Accordingly, jurisdictions are advised to inventory these existing policies, regulations, and processes. This evaluation will assist the agency in fully understanding their approach to multifamily and mixed-use housing design, allowing the jurisdiction to precisely apply and tailor Objective Design Standards to their local needs.

In some cases, design standards expressed in the Municipal Code are adequate are functioning well for the jurisdictions,. Such topics covered by the Municipal Code can be left out of the ODS as both sets of standards will apply to qualifying projects.

Many design topics currently covered by subjective guidelines or other policies can be translated from “should” statements to objective “shall” statements with nominal editing. This translation enables the existing design expectations of the jurisdiction to carry through the ODS.

In other cases, there may be design topics that are simply not addressed (or are addressed in vague terms), for which the agency may wish to have more precise direction. By providing a range of recommended language and graphics, this Toolkit can assist local planning staffs in addressing these gaps.

TAILORING THIS TOOLKIT
This Toolkit is designed in a modular fashion, intended for a high degree of customization. Each of the Chapters and Sections that follow represent a set of design topics or issues that WRCOG communities may wish to address in Objective Design Standards.

However, individual jurisdictions may find that the certain topics are already covered adequately by the Municipal Code or other existing standards.

For example, “Section 4.2 Open Space” recommends dimensional standards and ratios for open space within residential development.

Many cities cover this topic in their Municipal Code and will see no need to adopt any portion of the Section of the Toolkit.

Within each Section of the Toolkit are individual standards expressed as lettered bullets. Agencies may wish to adopt only a limited number of the itemized standards in each Section.

Throughout the Toolkit there are a numerical standards. Any of these numbers may be edited to local preference and
circumstances. For instance, “Section 5.3 Facade Articulation” recommends standards for breaking up facades over 100 feet in length. Local jurisdictions may wish to set that standard shorter 80 feet or longer at 120 feet, and may wish to customize the dimension of the required break.

Finally, the Toolkit describes a variety of architectural styles common in Western Riverside County. Individual cities can consider this a menu of styles, and may wish to limit the number of acceptable styles, to six or four, or even a single architectural style. 10 Draft • August 2022Chapter 2: Preparing & Adopting ODS

2.2 ADOPTING OBJECTIVE

DESIGN STANDARDS
There are two typical means of implementing or adopting Objective Design Standards.

1. First is to embed the Objective Design Standards within the Municipal Code. In this case, the design standards will likely be positioned as an extension of the development and/or design standards section already found in the Municipal Code. This approach is appropriate for jurisdictions that already have a reasonable number of design standards in the Code, and desire to supplement the existing standards with a nominal number of additional standards. This approach is also appropriate for jurisdictions that have little to no design standards within the Municipal Code, but do not see the need for expansive new design standards.

2. The second and more common approach is to adopt
Objective Design Standards in a stand-alone illustrated document, empowered by appropriate reference within the local jurisdiction’s Municipal Code. This approach enables the Objective Design Standards to include the types of photographs and diagrams not appropriate to include in a Municipal
Code. This Toolkit is optimized for this second approach and serves as an example of what such a stand-alone Objective Design Standards document can look like. However, individual jurisdictions will likely wish to customize the contents of this Toolkit to create locally appropriate design standards.

Draft • August 2022
11 Chapter 2: Preparing & Adopting ODS
Adopting the Objective Design Standards as an independent document requires it to be empowered or authorized by other City actions. Most commonly, this can be done with a Resolution and an Ordinance.

A Resolution adopting the Objective Design Standards document is necessary to give it the effective force of City policy and intent.

An Ordinance amending the City’s Municipal Code is also needed.

Two aspect of this Ordinance are usually needed: one to point qualifying applicants to the ODS document and the second to clearly state that qualifying ODS projects are reviewed at a ministerial or staff level, with no appeal process available.

Such an Ordinance may include language of this nature:
“An application for an SB35 Multi-Family Ministerial Review shall be considered and approved ministerially, without discretionary review or a hearing. The approving authority shall determine consistency or inconsistency with the City’s adopted Objective Design Standards.”
“Prior to approving an application for an SB35 Multi-Family Ministerial Review, the approving authority shall make all the following findings:
“A. The project is consistent with the adopted General Plan. “B. The project meets all applicable standards of the Development Code and adopted Objective Design Standards incorporated by reference.”
CEQA
Typically Objective Design Standards do not change
allowable uses, permitted residential densities or other standards that might increase the severity of impacts
analyzed by the jurisdiction’s existing General Plan,
Municipal Code, and supporting Environmental Impact
Reports. In fact, ODS arguably establish more restrictive standards on potential development in the City.

Accordingly, the adoption of Objective Design Standards normally qualifies for an exemption from environmental
review, pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b) (3) “Common Sense Exemption.”

6.2 CRAFTSMAN
The Craftsman or California Bungalow style is derived from the influential residential style that emerged in the early 20th century out of the Arts and Crafts movement. This style is deployed to create a visually rich residential environment with allusions to regional history. As indicated in the accompanying precedent images and illustrative diagram, recognizable elements include the artful use of wood and natural materials, low-pitched gabled or hipped roofs, horizontal orientation, and earth-toned colors.

Common design elements also include exposed rafters and beams under eaves, decorative brackets and fasteners, full- or partial- width porches and large columns or piers. Though this style exhibits a horizontal emphasis, vertical architectural elements are often deployed to accentuate corners and entrances. Period Craftsman residences often featured exterior cladding of wood shingles or clapboard siding and details such as extended lintels and decorative lighting with geometric detailing.

TRADITIONAL
The East Coast Traditional styles of multi-family housing incorporate elements of American domestic architecture dating back to the early English and Dutch houses built in the first century of colonial settlement. These precedents have been interpreted and re-interpreted during successive waves of residential design and development over the past 140 years, and presently incorporate an eclectic mixture of elements. Common characteristics of new East Coast Traditional buildings include materials such as wood and brick; front entrances accentuated with pediments and pilasters; windows with double-hung sashes and articulated lintels and sills; and porches supported by thin columns.

6.7 WESTERN
Derived from the American vernacular architecture that sprang from the passing of the Homestead Act of 1862, Western
Architecture evolved to encompass the Victorian style during the later 19th century when milled wood became widely available. This style combines simple, rustic, forms with Victorian embellishments to create a relaxed, informal feel compatible with the spirit of the American West. Qualities that reflect the Western theme can be described as rural, informal, traditional, rustic, low profile and equestrian oriented. Conversely, qualities that are inconsistent with the Western theme are urban, formal, contemporary, sophisticated, and massive.

BACKGROUND
O
n August 18, 2022, the City Council approved the City’s $28 million ARPA Expenditure Plan. The Treasury’s Final Rule provided greater flexibility and simplicity for recipients to fight the pandemic and support families and businesses struggling with its impacts and to maintain vital services amid revenue shortfalls.

T
he approved expenditure plan included $1.2 million for Housing Crisis Mitigation including Affordable Housing Assistance, Services for Unhoused Persons and Crisis Stabilization Units. In September 2022, the City awarded $200,000 of these funds to Path of Life Ministries to provide two crisis stabilization apartments for previously unhoused

RETURN TO AGENDA

individuals.

In accordance with the guidance provided by the City Council during the ARPA Expenditure Plan adoption, each specific project contained within the ARPA budget will come before the City Council for consideration and approval during subsequent meetings.

On April 25, 2024, Staff published a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA), seeking applications from affordable housing developers for $990,000 in ARPA funds. The goal of the City is to award funds to a project that will facilitate the construction of affordable housing to increase long -term housing security. The NOFA stated that the City will prioritize projects that increase the supply of long-term affordable housing for households that experienced associated pandemic impacts and “shovel -ready” projects that have received funding approvals from other sources. Off -site required physical improvements for future affordable housing projects, that will be complete no later than December 31, 2026, have the highest priority. In addition, projects that serve specific populations, have longer affordability periods and are near transit, education, and other community services, as described in the City’s 2021-29 Housing Element, will be prioritized.

The NOFA was published on the City’s Planet Bids portal, a web-based procurement and bidding system and sent to the three applicants proposing affordable housing developments within the city: Riverside Habitat for Humanity, National Community Renaissance of California and Northtown Housing Development Corporation.

The NOFA closed on May 28, 2024, and the City received two proposals.
