Recognition and Presentation of "Pride of La Verne Awards" - Annually, the City Council presents the "Jack Huntington Award" and the "Jim Scranton Award" to recognize volunteers who have made outstanding contributions and performed exemplary service to the City and the community. Each recipient receives an individual Pride of La Verne plaque and their names are placed on perpetual plaques displayed in City Hall.

The "Jack Huntington Award" was named after S. Jack Huntington, who moved to La Verne in 1970.

Despite heavy professional obligations and time commitments to the U.S. Naval Reserve, Jack became actively involved in the community as a volunteer. He was active in various local organizations, including the La Verne Jaycees, Little League and the Youth Basketball program. Jack also served as a City of La Verne Commissioner for more than 15 years, completing two terms on the Parks & Recreation Commission as well as two terms on the Planning Commission. Jack Huntington was a citizen volunteer who exemplified the “Pride of La Verne” through selfless service to the community. This year, the City Council has nominated Raymond Swain.

Raymond Swain has been a dedicated member of the La Verne community since moving to the city in 1989. Over the years, he has generously contributed his time and leadership to numerous local and regional organizations. Raymond volunteered for four years with Boy Scouts of America Troop 411,

Minutes City Council 3/16/2026 Page 3

attending weekday meetings and participating in overnight camping trips to support youth development. He also spent three years as a parent volunteer with La Verne Little League, regularly attending games and workouts while assisting coaches and encouraging young athletes. For six years, Raymond was active with International Toastmasters, serving as both Club President and Area Governor, where he helped members achieve their communication goals and supported clubs in reaching their membership and growth objectives. In addition, he served as Chairman of the City’s Ad Hoc Water and Sewer Rate Study Committee, providing valuable input on a key community issue. He also served on the City’s Local Hazard Mitigation Plan Steering Committee, providing input on the City’s update to its’ Local Hazard Mitigation Plan. Raymond also dedicated hundreds of hours leading the effort to establish La Verne’s first Firewise community, helping neighbors reduce wildfire risk and strengthen local preparedness. A frequent attendee of City Council meetings, Raymond continues to demonstrate a strong commitment to civic engagement and the well-being of the La Verne community.

City Council presented Raymond with a Pride of La Verne plaque.

The “Jim Scranton Award” was named after long-time resident Jim Scranton who was a member of the Youth Sports Committee since its inception. In 1986, he formed the La Verne Lazers Soccer Club organization which provides youngsters an opportunity to play soccer at a highly competitive level.

Jim also spent five years on the City Sports Park Committee, which resulted in the development of 35 acres of sports fields for the community. He also participated in the City women’s soccer program as a coach. Jim is survived by his wife Susan and their children. The Youth Sports Committee recommended that a Pride of La Verne Youth Sports Volunteer Award be named in honor of Jim Scranton. This year’s award recipient is Ray Ortiz.

Ray has been in the region for over 25 years and on the Board for over 10 years. He has coached players in AYSO from their earliest days (6U) to their last days (19U). He has been a positive influence on many players that have come through the region and today can be found helping our referees perform their duties. In the last three years, he has been our referee administrator and has worked tirelessly to bring volunteer referees out on the fields, he has performed the necessary training and mentoring with them so that they could be confident in their duties and enjoy their time on the field. In the past year alone, Ray has invested his time and effort to help over a dozen referees achieve the Intermediate and Advanced referee badge levels. These badge levels allow the referees to officiate with more confidence in the older age groups. Ray was also involved in bring back the Great Western Shootout this past year. Congratulations, Ray!

Agenda Report

DATE: April 6, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Fred St. Ange , Fire Marshal
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION ACCEPTING THE FIRE DEPARTMENT'S 2025 REPORT ON COMPLIANCE WITH STATE INSPECTION MANDATES.

SUMMARY
In accordance with Senate Bill 1205 (SB1205), all fire departments in California are required to inspect both public and private buildings used as schools, hotels, motels, lodging houses, apartment houses, and certain residential care facilities annually, and to report compliance to their administering authority.

RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council adopt a Resolution titled, “A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF

THE CITY OF LA VERNE, CALIFORNIA, ACKNOWLEDGING RECEIPT OF A REPORT MADE BY THE FIRE CHIEF OF THE LA VERNE FIRE DEPARTMENT’S REQUIREMENT TO INSPECT CERTAIN OCCUPANCIES PURSUANT TO SECTIONS 13146.2 AND 13146.3 OF THE CALIFORNIA HEALTH AND SAFETY CODE.”

DISCUSSION
In accordance with Senate Bill 1205 (SB1205), the California Health and Safety Code Section 13146.4 was added in 2018, and became effective on September 27, 2018. The California Health and Safety Code Section 13146.2 and 13146.3 requires all fire departments in California, to annually inspect both public and private buildings that are utilized as a school, hotel, motel, lodging house, apartment house, and certain residential care facilities. California Health & Safety Code Section 13146.4 requires all fire departments to report annually to its administering authority its compliance with Section 13146.2 & 13146.3.

The La Verne Fire Department’s (LVFD) Community Risk Reduction (CRR) Division is responsible for fire and life safety prevention and risk reducing programs throughout the City of La Verne. One of these programs is the California State Fire Marshal mandated annual inspection program. The City’s Fire Marshal has historically been solely responsible for conducting the annual inspections. In doing so, correction notices are issued for violations as necessary. The amount of time and level of enforcement required for correcting violations depends upon the severity of the violation(s) identified. Violations that pose an immediate health and safety hazard require an expedient response and possibly even a complete cessation of operations by order of the Fire Marshal. Less dangerous or more complicated cases are given a defined time frame to become California Fire Code Compliant.

As the result of high fatality fire rates and increased potential for injury or death, the California State Fire Marshal, through the California Health & Safety Code and California Fire Code have

Page 31 of 164 ends

Council Packet - April 6, 2026
Resolution Accepting the Fire Department's 2025 Report on Compliance with State Inspection Mandates., Page 2

identified certain building occupational classifications which are required to be inspected by law.

Those classifications are:
• Organized Camps
• Day Care Facilities
• Public and Private Schools
• Health Care Facilities
• Detention Facilities
• Multi-Family Housing
• Residential Care Facilities
• High Rise Buildings

It was also the intent of the legislature to provide mechanisms to ensure jurisdictions had the corresponding resources to complete the inspections. As such, SB 1205 requires the CCR, under the direction of the Fire Chief, to submit an annual report to the City Council indicating its compliance with the educational, multi-family, and residential care facility categories of the mandated annual inspection program. If the division is found to be deficient in completing its mandated inspections, local governing bodies are to be made aware of such with the purpose of providing the financial resources to hire personnel to complete the inspections.

The results of that compliance are below.

The Community Risk Reduction Division is excited to highlight key accomplishments over the past year. Despite challenges, our fully staffed CRR team has successfully met all 148 SB 1205 requirements for the third consecutive year. This achievement reinforces compliance with essential state fire regulations, enhancing safety for residents and businesses.These accomplishments are a testament to the dedication and hard work of the CRR team. By leveraging our full staffing, we’ve streamlined inspection processes, identified areas requiring additional attention, and exceeded expectations.

The recommended action has no financial impact.

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Sam Gonzalez, Police Chief
SUBJECT: POLICE SHOOTING RANGE USE AGREEMENT WITH CLAREMONT POLICE DEPARTMENT.

SUMMARY
The City Council is requested to authorize the City Manager to renew the Agreement for Use of the La Verne Police Department's Shooting Range between the City of Claremont and the City of La Verne. This agreement allows authorized Claremont Police Department personnel to utilize the La Verne Police Department's shooting range for training and qualification purposes.

RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council authorize the City Manager to renew the Agreement for Use of the La Verne Police Department's Shooting Range with the Claremont Police Department.

DISCUSSION
The City of Claremont Police Department does not maintain its own shooting range and relies on partnerships with neighboring agencies to meet training and qualification requirements. The Agreement with the City of La Verne provides access to a nearby, suitable range facility, ensuring that officers maintain the required firearms proficiency. The agreement outlines terms of use, including authorized personnel, supervision requirements, safety compliance, maintenance responsibilities, indemnification, and insurance provisions. The term of the agreement is two years, and it may be terminated by either party with 30 days' written notice.

Continuing this agreement supports officer readiness and operational effectiveness while maintaining interagency collaboration.

FISCAL ANALYSIS
There is no fiscal impact associated with this agreement. The City of Claremont provides its own supplies and materials and allows the City of La Verne to retain spent brass casings as compensation for range use.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
The proposed action is not considered a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15378(b)(5), as it involves administrative activities that will not result in a direct or indirect physical change in the environment.

LEGAL REVIEW
The City Attorney has reviewed and approved the agreement.

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: JR Ranells, Assistant City Manager
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF A SALARY RANGE FOR UTILITIES MANAGER.

SUMMARY
With a recent vacancy in the City’s Utilities Manager position, a compensation and job analysis has been completed. The review found that the existing job classification remains current and does not require updates; however, an adjustment to the salary range is recommended to better align with the market.

RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council adopt the attached Resolution titled, “A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY

COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LA VERNE, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING A SALARY RANGE FOR UTILITIES MANAGER.”

DISCUSSION
With the recent vacancy in the Utilities Manager position, Staff conducted a comprehensive review of both the job classification and the associated salary range. The classification was determined to be current and reflective of the duties and responsibilities of the position, so no changes to the class specification are recommended.

However, the compensation analysis indicated that the current salary range, which previously topped out at $144,088, is below market when compared to similar positions in comparable agencies. The Utilities Manager role carries significant responsibilities, including oversight of the City’s water system and requires significant state water certifications and licenses. Given the technical complexity and regulatory requirements of the position, it is essential to offer a competitive salary to attract highly qualified and competent candidates.

In addition, within the past few years, the City has recruited for this position and received a limited applicant pool, suggesting that the existing salary may have contributed to challenges in recruitment. The recommended salary adjustment is intended to address this market deficiency and strengthen the City’s ability to recruit and retain a skilled Utilities Manager.

FISCAL ANALYSIS
The adoption of a new salary range will have a minimal impact on the Fiscal Year 2025–2026 Budget, if any, due to the process to select a new candidate and the potential placement within the range due to qualifications. The previous top of the salary range for the Utilities Manager position was $144,088. Depending on the salary step at which a selected candidate is appointed, the adjustment could result in a minimal impact on the approved budget. Negative impacts are not anticipated, as there are budgetary savings resulting from the vacancy. It

Page 50 of 164 ends

Council Packet - April 6, 2026
Approval of a Salary Range for Utilities Manager., Page 2

should be noted that the Utilities Manager position is funded through the City’s enterprise funds and is not supported by the General Fund. Any future impacts will be addressed through the Fiscal Year 2026–2027 Budget process, as appropriate.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
Not applicable.

LEGAL REVIEW
This report was reviewed and approved by the City Attorney.

As presented at the last meeting, the Brethren Hillcrest Gateway Project, is a proposed expansion and update to the Hillcrest continuing care retirement community located in southern La Verne. The project includes redevelopment of the North and South Gateway sites through the demolition of four existing residential units, construction of seven new single-family homes, and renovation of three existing homes. The overall project includes two additional sites, a Zone Change site and a Master Plan Change site, which will formally integrate these properties into Neighborhood 5 of the Hillcrest Master Plan. The proposed Gateway Project will be consistent with the objectives of the Hillcrest Master Plan, enhance connectivity between the East and West campuses, and provide modern, marketable homes for older adult residents. This ordinance will adopt the rezoning of the North (2730 and 2712 Park Avenue) and South Gateway (2681 A Street) sites and the Zone Change Site (2715, 2717, and 2719 Park Avenue), from PR4.5D to Institutional. This zoning is consistent with the Community Facility land use designation and the intended use as part of the Hillcrest Master Plan community.

This item was introduced for first reading at the March 16, 2026, meeting and approved by a vote of 5-0.

DISCUSSION

Page 64 of 164 ends

Council Packet - April 6, 2026
First Reading of Ordinance Updates to the La Verne Municipal Code Relating to Accessory Dwelling Units and Junior Accessory Dwelling Units, Senate Bill 9 Two-Unit Developments, Urban Lot Splits, and the Definition of Emergency Shelter (Case Numbers 13-26ZA & 14-26ZA) and making California Environmental Quality Act Determinations., Page 2

These ordinances introduce minor but important updates to the La Verne Municipal Code to ensure compliance with State mandates. The changes are outlined in the attached ordinances (attachments 1 and 2).

SB9 Updates
• “Emergency shelter” definition revised (removed “minimal” services) • Two-unit projects & lot splits not allowed on historic/landmark properties • Removed prior demolition/alteration language, clarified limits in historic districts

ADU/JADU Updates
• Applications: 15-day completeness review; auto-complete if no response; appeals go to Council (60 days)
• Standards: Square footage applies only to interior livable space • Approvals: No combining ADUs/JADUs with other unit allowances; updated/cleaned language
• JADUs: Owner-occupancy required if sharing facilities; no new sprinkler requirements • Regulations: Can be rented independently (min. 31 days)

The draft ordinances were presented to the Planning Commission during a public hearing on March 11, 2026, with the Planning Commission voting 4-0 (Commissioner Ramos was absent) to recommend that the City Council adopt the ordinances.

FISCAL ANALYSIS
The fees for processing development applications for proposed ADU and SB9 projects will be the same as currently required for similar residential or land division projects as indicated by the 2025-26 Comprehensive Fee Schedule. The recommended action has no financial impact.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
The ADU Ordinance is exempt from CEQA pursuant to Public Resources Code section 21080.17 which provides CEQA does not apply to the adoption of an ordinance to implement ADU law.

The SB9 Ordinance is exempt from CEQA pursuant to the provisions of the authorizing statute, SB9, as set forth in Government Code sections 65852.21 and 66411.7 relating to two-unit developments and the entire Ordinance is exempt pursuant to the common sense exemption of CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3) as it can be seen with certainty that these changes will have no environmental impacts as they merely incorporate what is required by state law.

No further environmental review is required at this time.

SECTION 5. CEQA. This Ordinance is exempt from CEQA pursuant to the provisions of the authorizing statute, SB 9, as set forth in Government Code sections 65852.21 and 66411.7 relating to two-unit developments and the entire Ordinance is exempt pursuant to the common sense exemption of CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3) as it can be seen with certainty that these changes will have no environmental impacts as they merely incorporate what is required by state law.

Agenda Report

DATE: April 6, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Ken Domer, City Manager
SUBJECT: UPDATE ON ROUTE 66 CENTENNIAL AND AMERICA 250 PROGRAMMING

AND APPROVAL OF PUBLIC ART FUND APPROPRIATION FOR BANNER PROGRAM.

SUMMARY
To celebrate the Route 66 Centennial and America 250 milestones, the City has developed a series of programming initiatives in collaboration with community groups. Implementation of the Banner Program will require the appropriation of $25,000 from the Public Art Fund.

RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council:

1. Receive and file this report;

2. Provide direction on the proposed programming efforts; and

3. Adopt a Resolution appropriating $25,000 of Public Art Funds from the General Capital Improvement Fund to support the Banner Program.

DISCUSSION
Following City Council direction at the March 2 meeting, staff has advanced planning efforts for the Route 66 Centennial and America 250 celebrations with a focus on developing cost- effective, community-driven programming. As part of this effort, staff conducted outreach and coordination meetings with key community partners, including the La Verne Historical Society, La Verne Chamber of Commerce, La Verne Daily, and VFW Post 12034. These discussions helped shape the programming approach, with an emphasis on local storytelling, youth and community participation, and activities that activate both the Foothill Boulevard corridor and the broader community.

In addition, the City has launched a dedicated web page at LaVerneCA.gov/HistoricEvents to serve as a centralized hub for event updates, program information, and opportunities for residents and organizations to participate or partner with the City throughout the year. Staff is also working to finalize programming details in the near term so that information can be included in the City’s Recreation Guide and distributed through school newsletters prior to the end of the academic year, maximizing awareness and participation.

Route 66 Centennial Programming

Route 66 Centennial programming is centered on enhancing the Foothill Boulevard corridor and

Page 94 of 164 ends

Council Packet - April 6, 2026
Update on Route 66 Centennial and America 250 Programming and Approval of Public Art Fund Appropriation for Banner Program., Page 2

supporting local economic activity. Planned efforts include the installation of approximately a dozen Route 66-branded street sign elements along Foothill Boulevard. To remain cost- effective, these improvements will consist of durable, weather-resistant decals placed over existing street signage, designed to last the life of the sign. The selected design reflects the recognizable black-and-white Route 66 shield consistent with historic and landmark wayfinding, creating a cohesive and authentic visual identity along the corridor.

In partnership with the La Verne Chamber of Commerce, staff is also developing a Route 66 Passport Program intended to encourage visitation to local businesses. The program is anticipated to include approximately 20 participating businesses, where participants will visit locations to complete their passport. Incentives, including goodie bags for the first participants to complete the program, will be used to drive early engagement. In addition, the City plans to collaborate with the promoter of the car shows in Old Town La Verne, Flying Deuces, to rebrand the existing Cruisin La Verne car show event, scheduled for November 2026, to align with the Route 66 Centennial theme and further activate the area.

America 250 Programming

America 250 programming is focused on community storytelling and local history. Planned initiatives include an essay contest and a photo contest in partnership with La Verne Daily, with student participation across elementary, middle, and high school levels. Winners will be formally recognized at a City Council meeting, featured on City social media platforms, and displayed at Veterans Hall. In addition, staff will coordinate a monthly “Highlighting La Verne History” campaign in partnership with the La Verne Historical Society and La Verne Daily, utilizing social media and e-newsletters to share stories of notable people and places that have shaped the community.

To further activate community spaces and events, staff has identified opportunities to utilize the City’s Liberty Bell as a mobile feature at multiple events throughout the year, including the Fourth of July celebration. City staff will coordinate the safe transport of the bell using a trailer system, allowing it to serve as a unique and interactive historical element across multiple programs. The La Verne Historical Society will also lead a series of free community events, including walking tours, cemetery tours, and Mills Act home tours, with the City supporting these efforts through promotion and staffing assistance as needed.

Banner Program

The Banner Program serves as a central visual component of the City’s Route 66 Centennial and America 250 celebrations, designed to create a cohesive identity across key corridors while showcasing local creativity. Through a formal “Call for Artists,” the City will invite professional, community or emerging, and youth artists to submit original artwork that reflects the themes of Route 66 and America 250 while incorporating elements of La Verne’s history, landmarks, and character. This approach not only enhances the visual environment of the City but also provides a meaningful opportunity to engage local artists and students in a highly visible civic initiative.

The Banner Program is structured to ensure both artistic quality and broad community representation. The attached draft RFP covers the program details. Staff anticipates selecting at

Page 95 of 164 ends

Council Packet - April 6, 2026
Update on Route 66 Centennial and America 250 Programming and Approval of Public Art Fund Appropriation for Banner Program., Page 3

least one artist from each category, professional, community or emerging, and youth, with the flexibility to select additional designs based on the volume and quality of submissions received.

Selected designs will be reproduced and installed across multiple locations throughout the City, including Foothill Boulevard and other prominent corridors, resulting in a consistent and recognizable visual presence tied to both celebrations. By repeating selected designs across multiple banners, the program maximizes visibility while maintaining cost efficiency.

To support implementation of the Banner Program, staff is requesting an appropriation of $25,000 from the Public Art Fund. This program represents an initial activation of the City’s broader public art efforts. Staff is currently developing a Public Art Fund Ordinance and accompanying policy, which will be presented to the City Council in the coming months to establish a formal framework for the use of public art funds moving forward.

Timelines

Implementation of the Banner Program and associated initiatives is structured to align with key seasonal engagement opportunities throughout 2026. While certain efforts, such as the “Highlighting La Verne History” campaign, will occur on a recurring monthly basis, the majority of programming is being intentionally front-loaded in the spring and early summer. This approach allows the City to establish early visibility, build community awareness, and ensure that major elements are in place ahead of peak participation periods.

The Call for Artists for the Banner Program is anticipated to be released in April, with submittals due in early May. Following review and artist selection in June, final artwork will be prepared for production, with banner fabrication and installation targeted for early summer. Concurrently, additional initiatives, including the essay and photo contests, Route 66 Passport Program, and corridor enhancements, will be launched or finalized during this same timeframe.

This coordinated timeline is designed to ensure that the majority of visible and participatory programming is fully implemented by the City’s Fourth of July celebrations, which serve as a key milestone and high-attendance event. By establishing a strong presence by early summer, the City is positioned to maintain momentum through the remainder of the year, with continued programming, community events, and promotional efforts leading into the Route 66 Centennial in November 2026. Historical Society programming will be integrated throughout the year in alignment with their existing schedule, with specific event dates to be announced in the coming weeks. Following the summer rollout, the City will continue to build momentum through ongoing programming and promotions, culminating in the rebranded car show event in November 2026, aligning with the Route 66 Centennial anniversary month.

FISCAL ANALYSIS
The proposed programming efforts have been developed with a focus on cost-effectiveness and leveraging community partnerships. All staff time associated with the planning and implementation of these initiatives will be absorbed within existing departmental budgets, with priorities adjusted as needed to ensure appropriate attention is given to this programming.

Costs associated with Route 66 corridor enhancements are minimal, with approximately $750

Page 96 of 164 ends

Council Packet - April 6, 2026
Update on Route 66 Centennial and America 250 Programming and Approval of Public Art Fund Appropriation for Banner Program., Page 4

allocated for the installation of Route 66-branded street sign decals along Foothill Boulevard. An additional $1,000 is anticipated to support prizes and incentives for the Route 66 Passport Program, as well as essay and photo contest winners.

The primary cost associated with the overall programming effort is the Banner Program, a total of $25,000. Estimated costs include approximately $12,000 for banner fabrication (based on 60 banners at approximately $200 each) and approximately $9,000 for artist stipends across professional, community or emerging, and youth categories. Additional costs related to installation, materials, and contingencies are anticipated. These funds will need to be appropriated from the Public Art Fund as this is an unbudgeted expense.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
Not applicable.

Project Overview
The City of La Verne invites artists to submit original artwork for its 2026 Street Banner Program in celebration of two historic milestones: the Route 66 Centennial and America 250.

This banner program reflects the City’s commitment to celebrating its past while embracing its future.

Artists are encouraged to create designs that:
• Celebrate the spirit and legacy of Route 66 and/or America 250 • Incorporate elements of La Verne’s history, landmarks, and community character • Reflect themes of connection, identity, and shared experience Banner artwork will be displayed along Foothill Boulevard for the Route 66 Centennial and along Foothill Boulevard, D Street, and Bonita Avenue for the America 250 celebration. All banners will be vertically oriented at 34 inches by 72 inches and must be designed as double-sided. The City will provide a branding guide, including approved colors, fonts, and logos, which could be utilized in the final designs.

The City will provide a stipends in the following amounts to selected artists:
• Professional Artists - $2,500
• Community or Emerging Artists - $1,500
• Youth Artists - $500
This opportunity is open to Professional Artists, Youth Artists, and Community or Emerging Artists, with separate selections made within each category. Preference will be given to artists residing in La Verne and the greater San Gabriel Valley. Artists may submit up to three original design concepts; however, no more than one design per artist will be selected. Selected designs will be reproduced and installed at multiple locations throughout the City.

Artistic Direction
The City of La Verne’s 2026 Street Banner Program is a creative placemaking initiative designed to celebrate two significant national milestones, the Route 66 Centennial and America 250, while highlighting the unique character and history of La Verne.

This project invites artists to contribute designs that not only commemorate these historic milestones, but also capture the spirit of La Verne. Artwork should reflect themes of connection, movement, and shared history, while reinforcing the City’s small- town charm, historic roots, and evolving culture.

Artists may submit designs under one or both of the following themes. The Route 66 Centennial theme should celebrate the legacy of one of America’s most iconic

Page 101 of 164 ends

Council Packet - April 6, 2026
roadways, recognizing its role in shaping travel, commerce, and cultural identity across generations. Designs may draw inspiration from transportation, roadside culture, Americana, and the historical significance of Route 66, particularly as it relates to Foothill Boulevard and its role within the region.

The America 250 theme should reflect the nation’s 250th anniversary, with an emphasis on community, identity, and shared values. Artists are encouraged to interpret this theme broadly, incorporating ideas such as freedom, innovation, diversity, and the evolving American story. Submissions should consider how national themes can be expressed through a local lens, highlighting the people, places, and experiences that define La Verne.

Across both themes, strong preference will be given to designs that incorporate elements of La Verne’s history and identity. This may include recognizable landmarks, local architecture, natural landscapes, historic references, or other unique features that distinguish the community. Artwork that successfully blends national themes with local storytelling will be especially competitive.

Designs should be bold, visually clear, and legible from a distance, recognizing that banners will be viewed by both pedestrians and motorists. Highly detailed or intricate compositions that may not translate well to large-scale banner format should be avoided. Artists are encouraged to consider color, contrast, and composition carefully to ensure the artwork is impactful within the streetscape environment.

All submitted artwork must be original and created solely by the artist.

Submittal Requirements
All application materials must be submitted electronically to the City of La Verne by the stated deadline. Applicants shall compile all required materials into a single PDF document and submit via email to [email protected] no later than Tuesday, May 5, 2026, at 5:00 PM (PST).

PROJECT LIST
The Board of Education of the Bonita Unified School District is committed to improving the quality of education in our local public schools by upgrading aging classrooms and improving student safety providing safe, secure, modem classrooms, labs and technology needed to support high quality instruction in math, science, engineering, technology and the skilled trades. To that end, the Board evaluated the District's urgent and critical facility needs, including safety issues, class size reduction, basic repairs, computer and information technology in developing the types of projects to be funded by this measure as described below.

This bond includes strict accountability requirements to make sure public funds are used appropriately. These requirements include public disclosure of all spending, independent annual financial and performance audits, and the formation of a committee of local citizens and business owners to ensure all spending is in line with the promises made in the measure. What's more, by law, all funds must be used to improve our local schools and cannot be taken by Sacramento, the County or anyone else.

In approving this Project List, the Board of Education determines that the District must:
(i) REMOVE hazardous materials; and
(ii) RETAIN AND ATTRACT quality teachers; and
(iii) ENHANCE classes and equipment that introduce students to skilled trades; and
(iv) REP AIR and upgrade leaky roofs; and
(v) REQUIRE a transparent system of accountability, including a Project List detailing how money will be used, a citizens' oversight committee and public disclosure of how all funds are spent.

The Project List includes the following types of upgrades and improvements at District schools, facilities and sites:

LOCAL STUDENT SAFETY AND CLASSROOM REP AIR PROJECTS TO RETAIN

QUALITY TEACHERS AND IMPROVE EDUCATION
School Repair, Safety and Upgrade Proiects
Goals and Purposes:

Bonita USD schools are still relying on air conditioning and heating systems that are more than 40 years old. During just the first week of school this year, 11 of the district's 13 air conditioning systems failed, leaving students to learn in classroom temperatures in the 80s. These outdated HV AC units break down frequently and are increasingly costly to repair. Replacing them now is a cost-effective investment that will help ensure students and teachers can focus on learning in safe, comfortable classrooms.

Many local schools look fme from the outside but need basic health and safety improvements inside because they were built more than 55 years ago. Funds from this measure will address the most urgent and basic improvements, such as replacing 40-year old heating and air conditioning systems, repairing leaky roofs, and upgrading more than 55-year-old plumbing systems; so that students can learn in a healthy and safe environment • Repair and upgrade fire safety.
• Upgrading electric sys_tems and wiring.
• Repairing and upgrading leaky roofs.
• Repairing gas and sewer lines.
• Repairing deteriorating classrooms.
• Removing hazardous materials like asbestos and lead paint. • Replacing 40-year old air conditioning, heating, and ventilation systems. • Repairing and upgrading plumbing.
• Improving emergency communication systems.
• Repair and upgrade school security.

Agenda Report

DATE: April 6, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Cody Howing, City Engineer
SUBJECT: SGVCOG & CITY OF POMONA PROPOSED ARROW HIGHWAY CLASS IV BIKEWAY DESIGN.

SUMMARY
The San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments (SGVCOG) and the City of Pomona are proposing improvements on Arrow Highway that include the addition of a Class IV bikeway among other features. At the January 20, 2026, Council Meeting, SGVCOG staff presented conceptual details of the project with a focus on the proposed terminus for the facility in the vicinity of the Arrow Highway and White Avenue intersection located in the City of La Verne. Based on feedback received from City Council at that meeting, SGVCOG staff have conducted further study of the proposed improvements and have submitted the findings for the review and consideration of the City Council in order to complete final design.

RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council:

2. Confirm the preferred bikeway terminus at the White Avenue/Arrow Highway intersection within the City of La Verne;

3. Direct staff to work with partner agencies to incorporate traffic signal modifications and pavement rehabilitation within the City’s segment, as appropriate; and

4. Authorize staff to continue design coordination and return to the City Council with any required agreements, cost-sharing arrangements, or approvals necessary for project implementation.

DISCUSSION
The East San Gabriel Valley Sustainable Multimodal Improvements Project is a regional effort led by the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments (SGVCOG) to enhance First/Last Mile connectivity to the Metro A-Line. The project includes protected bikeways, pedestrian improvements, ADA upgrades, and other active transportation features across multiple cities, including Pomona, La Verne, Claremont, San Dimas, Covina, and Azusa. These improvements support regional mobility goals by improving access to transit, neighborhoods, schools, and commercial areas, and are consistent with Metro’s First/Last Mile Plan and the Arrow Highway Multimodal Corridor Plan.

Council Packet - April 6, 2026
SGVCOG & City of Pomona Proposed Arrow Highway Class IV Bikeway Design. , Page 2

As part of this effort, SGVCOG, in partnership with the City of Pomona, proposes to construct a continuous two-way Class IV separated bikeway along the south side of Arrow Highway from White Avenue in La Verne to Mountain Avenue near the Pomona/Claremont border, along with related pedestrian improvements. The project leverages regional funding sources, including Measure M Multi-Year Subregional Program funds and Metro Active Transportation grants, reducing the financial burden on participating jurisdictions while enhancing connectivity to the Pomona North A-Line station.

On November 17, 2025, the Pomona City Council approved Alternative 4 as the preferred design concept, which shifts vehicular lanes north to accommodate a fully separated, two-way Class IV bikeway on the south side of Arrow Highway. This design improves safety by providing physical separation between bicyclists and vehicle traffic.

Following feedback from the January 20, 2026, La Verne City Council meeting, SGVCOG and its consultant prepared a traffic operations analysis to evaluate the impact of the proposed lane configuration on intersection performance, roadway capacity, and vehicle queuing. This evaluation also considered the current traffic issues arising from the reduction of lanes from three to two east of White Avenue shortly after the Lordsburg Court intersection and the ingress and egress from the development. At present time during peak hours, traffic is heavier eastbound due to the reduction of lanes, poor road conditions and lack of visible signage, and traffic movements of vehicles entering and exiting Lordsburg Court. As such, staff wanted to make sure that any improvements also factored in the current conditions to relieve congestion and to propose improvement for current conditions as well as the proposed bikeway.

Project Coordination in City of La Verne
An approximately 850 linear foot portion of the proposed bikeway lies within La Verne’s right-of- way, between White Avenue and Lordsburg Court, with the proposed termination point at the southeasterly corner of White Avenue and Arrow Highway. This location is intended to provide connectivity to the La Verne/Fairplex station-area circulation network and support future mobility needs associated with the planned Fairplex redevelopment.

To accommodate the proposed Class IV bikeway on the south side of Arrow Highway, portions of the roadway will require reconfiguration. The existing eastbound merge lane east of White Avenue would be replaced with the bikeway facility, maintaining the current curb-to-curb width.

As part of this change, the eastbound approach west of White Avenue would be modified from three through lanes to two through lanes and one right-turn-only lane. No changes are proposed to the existing left-turn pockets or westbound travel lanes.

Following direction from the January 20, 2026, City Council meeting, SGVCOG and its consultant prepared a traffic operations analysis to evaluate the impact of the proposed lane configuration on intersection performance, roadway capacity, and vehicle queuing.

The City has previously partnered with the City of Pomona on street improvement projects to achieve cost efficiencies. In 2024, the City incorporated a portion of White Avenue south of Arrow Highway into a Pomona-led project, allowing needed improvements to be completed at a reduced cost through economies of scale. Similarly, the Arrow Highway segment within La Verne currently has a pavement condition index ranging from very poor to fair, indicating that rehabilitation will be needed in the near term to restore the roadway to a “very good” condition.

By participating in this regional bikeway project and coordinating improvements beyond the immediate project limits east of White Avenue, the City can leverage grant-funded design and construction efficiencies, resulting in lower overall costs compared to delivering the improvements independently. While a comprehensive rehabilitation of the entire Arrow Highway corridor would yield additional efficiencies, the City currently has insufficient funds to implement a full pavement rehabilitation project for the entire length of Arrow Highway. Accordingly, staff finds that advancing pavement rehabilitation in coordination with this effort is a cost-effective opportunity. Funding for this work can be supported through non-General funds already appropriated for Arrow Highway improvements, making participation in this joint project both appropriate and fiscally prudent.

Methodology
The analysis utilized 2022 traffic counts provided by City of La Verne staff and applied a conservative 2% percent annual growth rate to forecast 2026 conditions, ensuring impacts were not underestimated and potential impacts from the proposed changes would be magnified. As noted in the attached traffic study, an annualized growth factor for the area is 0.6% based on regional traffic data.

The means for assessing impacts of traffic relies on a metric known as Level of Service (LOS). Similar to academic grades, facilities with a LOS of A indicate positive traffic conditions while a LOS of F indicates traffic conditions that result in delays. Each LOS rating reflects a range of values that describe the relationship between the number of peak traffic hour vehicles and the capacity of a roadway feature. The City of La Verne has adopted guidelines for transportation studies with the most recent update in 2020.

Arrow Highway and White Avenue Intersection Analysis
The proposed project intersection modifications affect the eastbound approach lanes. The conversion to two through lanes and one right turn only lane at the intersection of Arrow Highway and White Avenue have been evaluated for projected 2026 traffic conditions. The resulting LOS in both the “build” and “no build” conditions yielded AM and PM peak traffic LOS ratings of “B” and “D” respectively. Based on the City’s adopted guidelines, LOS “D” is acceptable operating range for a signalized intersection.

The City’s transportation study guidelines are generally focused on development-related impacts. While the LOS “D” rating is acceptable, the impact from the “no build” to the “build” did increase the vehicle to capacity ratio by a factor of 0.03. Based on the guidelines, signals that have an LOS of “D” and sustain an increase of the vehicle to capacity ratio by a factor of 0.02 will require improvements.

Notably, the traffic growth factor used in the analysis was inflated to be conservative. However, the values noted in the study do trigger details of the City’s guidelines. Improvements resulting from the County of Los Angeles’ upcoming Arrow Highway corridor signal coordination project might serve as acceptable capacity enhancements without extending the SGVCOG project scope.

Arrow Highway from White Avenue to Lordsburg Court Road Capacity Analysis The LOS rating for the roadway segment between White Avenue and Lordsburg Court is

expected to remain unchanged with the proposed reduction of one eastbound lane. The 2026 “build” operation is at LOS A, indicating conditions will remain well above the acceptable threshold established by the City traffic study guidelines.

Elimination of the existing merge lane is also expected to enhance safety. As part of the analysis for this area, traffic collision data was reviewed in both Pomona and La Verne. While none of the recorded collisions in the previous five years appeared to have a correlation with the merge, the proposed conditions streamline traffic flow for eastbound traffic on Arrow Highway.

Lordsburg Court Residential Community Access Analysis
Inclusive of the traffic study document is a review of the queuing capacity for access to the Lordsburg Court. Trip generation rates derived from the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) were used in conjunction with the observed existing conditions to evaluate the proposed changes and potential impacts to stacking capacity at the community vehicle access gates. Based on the analysis, it’s expected that the storage capacity outside the gates is adequate to accommodate peak hour traffic entering and exiting the neighborhood.

Recent Arrow Highway Median Improvements
Recent median landscape improvements along Arrow Highway were designed to accommodate potential future modifications associated with this project. Key infrastructure, including irrigation mainlines and valves, have been positioned on the north side of the medians to minimize potential impacts from proposed curb changes. Similarly, most planting materials were placed to avoid conflict areas. Approximately six 15-gallon trees are located within areas that may be affected; however, these trees are expected to be suitable for relocation to planned median expansion areas. While some impacts to ground cover and portions of the irrigation system may occur, the project has been designed to minimize these effects while maintaining the overall aesthetic and compliance with grant requirements.

Traffic Analysis Findings
Based on the traffic analysis and coordination with SGVCOG and the City of Pomona, the proposed reconfiguration of the eastbound approach at White Avenue from three through lanes to two through lanes and one right-turn-only lane is not expected to result in unacceptable traffic operations. Although the analysis reflects a minor increase in the vehicle-to-capacity ratio that exceeds the City’s guideline threshold, overall intersection and corridor performance would remain within acceptable standards. Accordingly, the key considerations for the City Council include confirming the bikeway terminus at White Avenue, participating in limited cost-sharing for associated improvements, and accepting long-term maintenance responsibility for the City’s segment.

From a safety perspective, the proposed design improves conditions by eliminating an existing merge conflict where the third eastbound lane currently drops east of the intersection. The addition of a protected bikeway separates bicyclists from vehicular traffic on a high-speed corridor and is expected to enhance overall safety, supported by recommended pavement markings and visibility treatments at conflict points. Overall, the project balances multimodal improvements with maintained traffic efficiency, resulting in no significant operational impacts while improving safety for both motorists and bicyclists.

FISCAL ANALYSIS

There is no impact to the City’s General Fund for project design, permitting, or construction, as these phases will be fully funded by SGVCOG. However, because a portion of the bikeway is located within La Verne, the City may incur limited cost-sharing for traffic signal modifications and will be responsible for ongoing operations and maintenance of its segment upon project completion.

The overall First/Last Mile project is estimated at $16.1 million, with $13.9 million secured through SGVCOG and the City of Pomona. The remaining $2.2 million funding gap associated with Alternative 4 has been committed by the City of Pomona to ensure project delivery.

If the City elects to incorporate street improvements within its limits as part of this coordinated effort, the estimated cost is approximately $528,100. This represents a cost savings compared to an estimated $775,000 if the City were to complete the improvements independently. While final costs may vary based on construction quantities, staff finds the cost estimates and methodology provided by SGVCOG and the City of Pomona to be reasonable.

Sufficient funding is available within the Arrow Highway Rehabilitation Project (CIP No. ST2402) to support the City’s participation in this joint regional bikeway project.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the SGVCOG is serving as the Lead Agency for the Arrow Highway Class-IV Bikeway Project and will prepare the applicable CEQA environmental document for the overall corridor. The cities of Pomona and La Verne are each acting as Responsible Agencies under CEQA for the portions of the project located within their respective city limits, as each city has discretionary approval authority over improvements within its public right-of-way. The City’s role as a Responsible Agency will be limited to considering the adequacy of the Lead Agency’s CEQA document as it relates to improvements within La Verne.

TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM
To: San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments
From: Chase Keys, P.E., Project Manager
Subject: LOS Analysis – White Avenue and Arrow Highway
Project Number: 2303225.01
Date: March 12, 2026

PURPOSE
As part of the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments (SGVCOG) East San Gabriel Valley Sustainable Multimodal Improvement Project (SMIP), the City of Pomona in coordination with City of La Verne will be constructing a two- way Class-IV bikeway (also known as a two -way cycle track) along the south side of Arrow Highway from White Avenue to Cambridge Avenue/Mountain Avenue. Currently, Arrow Highway is a six-lane roadway with a raised median between White Avenue and Lordsburg Court within the City of La Verne. East of Lordsburg Court, the eastbound lanes merge from three-to-two lanes. Implementation of the bikeway will require the removal of the third travel lane on Arrow Highway in the eastbound direction between White Avenue and Lordsburg Court.

The purpose of this memorandum is to assess the operational and safety impacts of converting the third eastbound through/right-turn lane at the intersection of White Avenue to a right-turn only lane. This change would facilitate the removal of the eastbound number three lane along Arrow Highway east of White Avenue.

ANALYSIS
The City of La Verne provided an approv ed traffic study for a mixed use project on the northwest corner of White Avenue and Arrow Highway. Typically, counts are collected within a year of an analysis; however, at the request of the SGVOG, counts collected from 2022 for the mixed-use project were used. Although the regional growth factor is approximately 0.6% per year (per the Los Angeles County Congestion Management Program, as referenced in the 1941 N. White Avenue Traffic Study), a conservative 2% annual growth rate was applied to develop 2026 volumes. This higher growth rate was intentionally used to avoid underestimating potential traffic impacts and to conservatively evaluate delay associated with the proposed lane reconfiguration. The following scenarios were analyzed:

1. 2022 AM and PM Peak Hour
a. Existing Lane Configuration
b. Proposed Lane Reconfiguration

2. 2026 AM and PM Peak Hour

Arrow Highway is classified as a Major Arterial in the City of La Verne General Plan and consists of:
• Almost entirely t hree lanes in each direction, with a raised center median with left -turn pockets, including the segment between White Avenue and Lordsburg Court • A transition to two eastbound lanes approximately 150 east of Lordsburg Court • Almost entirely two lanes in each direction in the City of Pomona , east of Lordsburg Court • Posted speed limits of 45 mph, west of White Avenue and 40 mph, east of White Avenue • Sidewalks on both sides and no on- street parking near the intersection of Arrow Highway and White Avenue; east of the Lordsburg Court , on-street parking is provided by per mit-only Intersection Analysis
Existing lane geometrics at the intersection of White Avenue and Arrow Highway are shown in Figure 1 along with volumes collected in 2022. Counts from 2022 are in Attachment A. While the regional growth factor is about 0.6% per year (Section 3.5.2 of the 1941 White A venue Traffic Study ), 2026 volumes were calculated by applying a conservative annual 2% growth factor to 2022 volumes. Figure 2 shows the lane geometrics with the conversion of the shared through/right -turn lane to a right turn only lane. No counts were collected at Lordsburg Court. Trip generation rates from the Institute of Traffic Engineer’s (ITE) Trip Generation Manual were used to estimate the peak hour trips at the intersection of Arrow Highway and Lordsburg Court.
