Agenda packet — Lake Elsinore City Council, July 14, 2026 (part 2 of 5)

by this Agreement or any other source of income, interest in real property or investment which would be affected in any manner or degree by the performance of Consultant’s services hereunder. Consultant further covenants and represents that in the performance of its duties hereunder no person having any such interest shall perform any services under this Agreement.

Consultant is not a designated employee within the meaning of the Political Reform Act because Consultant:
a. will conduct research and arrive at conclusions with respect to his/her rendition of information, advice, recommendation or counsel independent of the control and direction of the City or of any City official, other than normal agreement monitoring; and b. possesses no authority with respect to any City decision beyond rendition of information, advice, recommendation or counsel. (FPPC Reg. 18700(a)(2).)

12. Professional Ability of Consultant. City has relied upon the professional training and ability of Consultant to perform the services hereunder as a material inducement to enter into this Agreement. Consultant shall therefore provide properly skilled professional and technical personnel to perform all services under this Agreement. All work performed by Consultant under this Agreement shall be in accordance with applicable legal requirements and shall meet the standard of quality ordinarily to be expected of competent professionals in Consultant’s field of expertise.

13. Compliance with Laws.
a. Consultant shall comply with all local, state and federal laws and regulations applicable to the services required hereunder, including any rule, regulation or bylaw governing the conduct or performance of Consultant and/or its employees, officers, or board members.
b. Consultant represents that it has obtained and will maintain at all times during the term of this Agreement all professional and/or business licenses, certifications and/or permits necessary for performing the services described in this Agreement, including a City business license.

14. Licenses. Consultant represents and warrants to City that it has the licenses, permits, qualifications, insurance and approvals of whatsoever nature which are legally required of Consultant to practice its profession. Consultant represents and warrants to City that Consultant shall, at its sole cost and expense, keep in effect or obtain at all times during the term of this Agreement, any licenses, permits, insurance and approvals which are legally required of Consultant to practice its profession. Consultant shall maintain a City of Lake Elsinore business license.

15. Indemnity. Consultant shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the City and its officials, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers from and against any and all losses, liability, claims, suits, actions, damages, and causes of action arising out of any personal injury, bodily injury, loss of life, or damage to property, or any violation of any federal, state, or municipal law or ordinance, to the extent caused, in whole or in part, by the willful misconduct or negligent acts or omissions of Consultant or its employees, subcontractors, or agents, by acts for which they could be held strictly liable, or by the quality or character of their work. The foregoing obligation of Consultant shall not apply when (1) the injury, loss of life, damage to property, or violation of

Page 6 ends

law arises from the sole negligence or willful misconduct of the City or its officers, employees, agents, or volunteers and (2) the actions of Consultant or its employees, subcontractor, or agents have contributed in no part to the injury, loss of life, damage to property, or violation of law. It is understood that the duty of Consultant to indemnify and hold harmless includes the duty to defend as set forth in Section 2778 of the California Civil Code. Acceptance by City of insurance certificates and endorsements required under this Agreement does not relieve Consultant from liability under this indemnification and hold harmless clause. This indemnification and hold harmless clause shall apply to any damages or claims for damages whether or not such insurance policies shall have been determined to apply. By execution of this Agreement, Consultant acknowledges and agrees to the provisions of this Section and that it is a material element of consideration.

16. Insurance Requirements.
a. Insurance. Consultant, at Consultant’s own cost and expense, shall procure and maintain, for the duration of the contract, unless modified by the City’s Risk Manager, the following insurance policies.
i. Workers’ Compensation Coverage. Consultant shall maintain Workers’ Compensation Insurance and Employer’s Liability Insurance for his/her employees in accordance with the laws of the State of California. In addition, Consultant shall require each subcontractor to similarly maintain Workers’ Compensation Insurance and Employer’s Liability Insurance in accordance with the laws of the State of California for all of the subcontractor’s employees. Any notice of cancellation or non-renewal of all Workers’ Compensation policies must be received by the City at least thirty (30) days prior to such change. The insurer shall agree to waive all rights of subrogation against City, its officers, agents, employees and volunteers for losses arising from work performed by Consultant for City. In the event that Consultant is exempt from Worker’s Compensation Insurance and Employer’s Liability Insurance for his/her employees in accordance with the laws of the State of California, Consultant shall submit to the City a Certificate of Exemption from Workers Compensation Insurance in a form approved by the City Attorney.
ii. General Liability Coverage. Consultant shall maintain commercial general liability insurance in an amount not less than one million dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence for bodily injury, personal injury and property damage. If a commercial general liability insurance form or other form with a general aggregate limit is used, either the general aggregate limit shall apply separately to the work to be performed under this Agreement or the general aggregate limit shall be at least twice the required occurrence limit. Required commercial general liability coverage shall be at least as broad as Insurance Services Office Commercial General Liability occurrence form CG 0001 (ed. 11/88) or Insurance Services Office form number GL 0002 (ed. 1/73) covering comprehensive General Liability and Insurance Services Office form number GL 0404 covering Broad Form Comprehensive General Liability. No endorsement may be attached limiting the coverage.

iii. Automobile Liability Coverage. Consultant shall maintain automobile liability insurance covering bodily injury and property damage for all activities of the Consultant arising out of or in connection with the work to be performed under this Agreement, including coverage for owned, hired and non-owned vehicles, in an amount of not less than one million dollars ($1,000,000) combined single limit for each occurrence.

Automobile liability coverage must be at least as broad as Insurance Services Office Automobile Liability form CA 0001 (ed. 12/90) Code 1 (“any auto”). No endorsement may be attached limiting the coverage.
iv. Professional Liability Coverage. Consultant shall maintain professional errors and omissions liability insurance appropriate for Consultant’s profession for protection against claims alleging negligent acts, errors or omissions which may arise from Consultant’s services under this Agreement, whether such services are provided by the Consultant or by its employees, subcontractors, or sub consultants. The amount of this insurance shall not be less than one million dollars ($1,000,000) on a claims-made annual aggregate basis, or a combined single limit per occurrence basis. b. Endorsements. Each general liability and automobile liability insurance policy shall be with insurers possessing a Best’s rating of no less than A:VII and shall be endorsed with the following specific language:
i. Notwithstanding any inconsistent statement in any required insurance policies or any subsequent endorsements attached thereto, the protection offered by all policies, except for Workers’ Compensation, shall bear an endorsement whereby it is provided that, the City and its officers, employees, servants, volunteers and agents and independent contractors, including without limitation, the City Manager and City Attorney, are named as additional insureds. Additional insureds shall be entitled to the full benefit of all insurance policies in the same manner and to the same extent as any other insureds and there shall be no limitation to the benefits conferred upon them other than policy limits to coverages.
ii. This policy shall be considered primary insurance as respects the City, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, agents and volunteers.

Any insurance maintained by the City, including any self-insured retention the City may have, shall be considered excess insurance only and shall not contribute with it. iii. This insurance shall act for each insured and additional insured as though a separate policy had been written for each, except with respect to the limits of liability of the insuring company.
iv. The insurer waives all rights of subrogation against the City, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees or agents. v. Any failure to comply with reporting provisions of the policies shall not affect coverage provided to the City, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, agents or volunteers.
vi. The insurance provided by this Policy shall not be suspended, voided, canceled, or reduced in coverage or in limits except after thirty (30) days written notice has been received by the City.

c. Deductibles and Self-Insured Retentions. Any deductibles or self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by the City. At the City’s option, Consultant shall demonstrate financial capability for payment of such deductibles or self-insured retentions. d. Certificates of Insurance. Consultant shall provide certificates of insurance with original endorsements to City as evidence of the insurance coverage required herein.

Certificates of such insurance shall be filed with the City on or before commencement of performance of this Agreement. Current certification of insurance shall be kept on file with the City at all times during the term of this Agreement.

17. Notices. Any notice required to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and either served personally or sent prepaid, first class mail. Any such notice shall be addressed to the other party at the address set forth below.

18. Assignment and Subcontracting. The parties recognize that a substantial inducement to City for entering into this Agreement is the professional reputation, experience and competence of Consultant and the subcontractors listed in Exhibit B. Consultant shall be fully responsible to City for all acts or omissions of any subcontractors. Assignments of any or all rights, duties or obligations of the Consultant under this Agreement will be permitted only with the express consent of the City. Consultant shall not subcontract any portion of the work to be performed under this Agreement except as provided in Exhibit B without the written authorization of the City. If City consents to such subcontract, Consultant shall be fully responsible to City for all acts or omissions of those subcontractors. Nothing in this Agreement shall create any contractual relationship between City and any subcontractor nor shall it create any obligation on the part of the City to pay or to see to the payment of any monies due to any such subcontractor other than as otherwise is required by law.

19. Waiver. Waiver of a breach or default under this Agreement shall not constitute a continuing waiver of a subsequent breach of the same or any other provision under this Agreement.

20. Litigation Expenses and Attorneys’ Fees. If either party to this Agreement commences any legal action against the other party arising out of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its reasonable litigation expenses, including court costs, expert witness fees, discovery expenses, and attorneys’ fees.

Page 9 ends

21. Mediation. The parties agree to make a good faith attempt to resolve any disputes arising out of this Agreement through mediation prior to commencing litigation. The parties shall mutually agree upon the mediator and share the costs of mediation equally. If the parties are unable to agree upon a mediator, the dispute shall be submitted to JAMS or its successor in interest. JAMS shall provide the parties with the names of five qualified mediators. Each party shall have the option to strike two of the five mediators selected by JAMS and thereafter the mediator remaining shall hear the dispute. If the dispute remains unresolved after mediation, either party may commence litigation.

22. Prohibited Interests. Consultant maintains and warrants that it has not employed nor retained any company or person, other than a bona fide employee working solely for Consultant, to solicit or secure this Agreement. Further, Consultant warrants that it has not paid nor has it agreed to pay any company or person, other than a bona fide employee working solely for Consultant, any fee, commission, percentage, brokerage fee, gift or other consideration contingent upon or resulting from the award or making of this Agreement. For breach or violation of this warranty, City shall have the right to rescind this Agreement without liability. For the term of this Agreement, no member, officer or employee of City, during the term of his or her service with City, shall have any direct interest in this Agreement, or obtain any present or anticipated material benefit arising therefrom.

23. Equal Opportunity Employment. Consultant represents that it is an equal opportunity employer and it shall not discriminate against any subcontractor, employee or applicant for employment because of race, religion, color, national origin, handicap, ancestry, sex or age. Such non-discrimination shall include, but not be limited to, all activities related to initial employment, upgrading, demotion, transfer, recruitment or recruitment advertising, layoff or termination.

24. Prevailing Wages. Consultant is aware of the requirements of California Labor Code Section 1720, et seq., and 1770, et seq., as well as California Code of Regulations, Title 8, Section 16000, et seq., ("Prevailing Wage Laws"), which require the payment of prevailing wage rates and the performance of other requirements on "public works" and "maintenance" projects.

Consultant agrees to fully comply with all applicable federal and state labor laws (including, without limitation, if applicable, the Prevailing Wage Laws). It is agreed by the parties that, in connection with the Work or Services provided pursuant to this Agreement, Consultant shall bear all risks of payment or non-payment of prevailing wages under California law, and Consultant hereby agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold the City, and its officials, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers, free and harmless from any claim or liability arising out of any failure or alleged failure to comply with the Prevailing Wage Laws. The foregoing indemnity shall survive termination of this Agreement.

25. Severability. If any term or portion of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal, or otherwise unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.

26. Controlling Law Venue. This Agreement and all matters relating to it shall be governed by the laws of the State of California and any action brought relating to this Agreement shall be held exclusively in a state court in the County of Riverside.

27. Authority to Enter Agreement. Consultant has all requisite power and authority to conduct its business and to execute, deliver, and perform the Agreement. Each party warrants that the individuals who have signed this Agreement have the legal power, right, and authority to

29. Entire Agreement; Incorporation; Conflict. This Agreement contains the entire understanding between the parties relating to the obligations described herein. All prior or contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations and statements, oral or written, are superseded in total by this Agreement and shall be of no further force or effect. Consultant’s Proposal is incorporated only for the description of the scope of services and/or the schedule of performance and no other terms and conditions from such proposal shall apply to this Agreement unless specifically agreed to in writing. In the event of conflict, this Agreement shall take precedence over those contained in the Consultant’s Proposal.

30. Amendments. This Agreement may be modified or amended only by a written document executed by both Consultant and City and approved as to form by the City Attorney. [Signatures on next page]

Enterprise Asset Management
2 ● Manual, paper-heavy workflows – Work orders, claims, and documentation are fragmented and time-consuming to manage.
● Claims management burden – High volume of claims; staff must manually pull records, photos, and journals to respond.
● Rapid city growth outpacing systems – New facilities, engineering/CIPs added to Public Works, ~40 staff, expanding asset footprint.
● No centralized asset + capital lifecycle visibility – Disconnected planning, project execution, and asset handoff.
● Fragmented tech stack – Tyler, Esri, Nearmap, SeeClickFix, Collector app; limited integration. ● Signals program launching from scratch – Hiring techs; needs structure and system from day one.

Current State & Challenges
3 ● Enterprise Asset Management platform – Work orders, asset tracking, mobile field use across transportation, facilities, stormwater, parks, signals, fleet. ● Centralized incident & documentation hub – Link assets, labor, photos, equipment, and incident/PD reports in one place.
● Capital planning + project management visibility – Prioritization, funding source tracking, executive dashboards, project-to-asset lifecycle.
● Seamless integration with Tyler & Esri – Complement finance system; bi-directional GIS integration; low IT burden.
● Executive-level transparency – Real-time insight for City Manager into projects, performance, and cash flow.
● Scalability for a growing city – Modern platform that evolves with expansion. ● Strong support model – Ongoing updates, responsive support, user community, long-term partnership.

The Customer will appoint a primary point of contact with authority to make binding decisions (“Customer’s Project Manager”). This person will coordinate internal resources, assign subject matter experts (“SMEs”), and oversee implementation.

Responsibilities include attending status meetings, making timely decisions, providing requested information, escalating issues internally, and collaborating on the Project Plan and Change Order process, if applicable.

Customer acknowledges that the success of this project is contingent on its full participation. Customer must provide data within ten (10) business days of a request, maintain consistent data formats and access throughout the project, and allocate the necessary Customer resources and time to support deliverables and meet agreed-upon timelines.

Any failure by Customer to meet its responsibilities under this SOW (each, a “Customer Delay”) will automatically suspend the affected obligations of OpenGov for the duration of the Customer Delay and for a reasonable restart period thereafter. All affected milestones, delivery dates, and service-level commitments PS-11837.2
3 will be extended on a day-for-day basis (or as otherwise reasonably necessary) to account for the Customer Delay, and may result in an adjustment of the fees if OpenGov incurs additional time, materials, or other costs as a result. Under no circumstances will any consequence of a Customer Delay constitute a breach by OpenGov of this SOW or of the Agreement, nor will OpenGov be liable for any failure to meet a performance obligation that is caused, in whole or in part, by a Customer Delay.

5. Project Delivery
OpenGov will perform services under this SOW remotely and provide up to three (3) onsite trips for project-related activities. Customer will provide a suitable workspace, including a conference room with attendee capacity, non-public Wi-Fi, and AV equipment. Travel expenses are estimated not to exceed $14,000. OpenGov may use a combination of OpenGov personnel and OpenGov-trained implementation partners to deliver the services described in this SOW.

6. Estimated Schedule
The estimated duration of this work is twelve (12) months.The specific timeline, including order of delivery of the product(s), will be determined during the project planning activities in the Initiate Phase. Services are estimated to begin within two (2) weeks and no later than four (4) weeks from contract signature. OpenGov reserves the right to adjust the schedule based on the availability of Customer or OpenGov resources, and the timeliness of deliverables provided by the Customer.

7. Acceptance Procedure
OpenGov will submit completed deliverables to the Customer’s Project Manager for review. Within five (5) business days of receipt, the Customer’s Project Manager will either provide written acceptance or a list of requested revisions. In the event there are requested revisions, the subsequent review period for acceptance will follow the same timeline until final acceptance. If Customer does not respond within this period, the deliverable will be deemed accepted. Once a deliverable is accepted, any requested changes will require a paid Change Order.

Acceptance milestones and review timelines will be tracked in the Project Plan.

Both parties acknowledge that delays in task completion or unresolved issues may impact the project timeline. If OpenGov determines in good faith that Customer is not fulfilling its responsibilities under this SOW, OpenGov may place services on hold following a minimum of five (5) business days’ written notice. The notice will specify the actions needed to progress the project. During the hold period, OpenGov PS-11837.2
4 may reallocate resources without penalty and will not be responsible for resulting delays.

8. Modifications
The fees and estimated timeline are based on the scope and assumptions in this SOW. If either party determines that a change to the scope is necessary, the parties will collaborate to define the required modification, which may result in fee adjustments based on OpenGov’s standard rates. All modifications must be documented in a written Change Order and signed by both parties (“Change Order”) .

Examples of changes include revisions to the project timeline, deliverables, or resource allocation.

9. Communication and Escalation Procedure
OpenGov and Customer agree to maintain regular communication in alignment with the Project Plan to ensure progress, resolve questions promptly, and minimize risk.

Both parties will raise any issues or concerns in a timely manner. If challenges are not resolved through standard project discussions, Customer and OpenGov Project Managers will escalate to their respective executive leadership teams to jointly determine a resolution and align on a path to successful implementation.

REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Jason Simpson, City Manager
Prepared by: Rick De Santiago, Public Works Manager
Date: July 14, 2026
Subject: On-Call Agreement with Edmondson Construction Co. for Shoulder and Dirt Road Grading Services
Recommendation
Approve and authorize the City Manager to execute a Contractor Services On-Call Agreement with Edmondson Construction Co. for shoulder and dirt road grading in an amount not to exceed $75,000 in such final form as approved by the City Attorney and authorize the City Manager to execute change orders not to exceed a 10% contingency of $7,500 for unanticipated costs.

Background
The Public Works Department performs ongoing maintenance on the City’s roadway network, including unpaved shoulders, dirt access roads, and areas requiring periodic grading to ensure safe travel and proper drainage. These locations experience wear from weather, utility activity, and general use, requiring timely grading and reshaping to prevent erosion, rutting, and hazardous conditions.

To ensure the City can respond promptly to maintenance needs and maintain operational continuity, Public Works uses on-call contractor agreements to access qualified contractors for specialized fieldwork. Edmondson Construction Co. has previously provided reliable construction and maintenance support to the City and has the equipment, staffing, and technical expertise required for grading operations.

Edmondson Construction Agreement

Page 2 of 2 ends

Discussion
The On-Call Services Agreement allows Edmondson Construction to perform shoulder and dirt road grading on an as-needed basis throughout the city. Work will be assigned through individual task orders issued by Public Works.

Typical services under this agreement include:
• Shoulder grading to restore proper cross-slope and eliminate edge drop-offs • Dirt road reshaping to correct rutting, washouts, and uneven surfaces • Drainage restoration, including shaping swales and runoff paths • Perform compaction and finish work as required to stabilize surfaces Fiscal Impact
Funds are available in the City’s FY26-27 Capital Improvement Plan.

indemnify, defend, and hold harmless City for the payment of any employee and/or employer contributions for PERS benefits on behalf of Contractor or its employees, agents, or subcontractors, as well as for the payment of any penalties and interest on such contributions, which would otherwise be the responsibility of City.

11. Interests of Contractor. Contractor (including principals, associates and professional employees) covenants and represents that it does not now have any investment or interest in real property and shall not acquire any interest, direct or indirect, in the area covered by this Agreement or any other source of income, interest in real property or investment which would be affected in any manner or degree by the performance of Contractor’s services hereunder. Contractor further covenants and represents that in the performance of its duties hereunder no person having any such interest shall perform any services under this Agreement.

Contractor is not a designated employee within the meaning of the Political Reform Act because Contractor:
a. will conduct research and arrive at conclusions with respect to his/her rendition of information, advice, recommendation or counsel independent of the control and direction of the City or of any City official, other than normal agreement monitoring; and b. possesses no authority with respect to any City decision beyond rendition of information, advice, recommendation or counsel. (FPPC Reg. 18700(a)(2).)

12. Professional Ability of Contractor. City has relied upon the professional training and ability of Contractor to perform the services hereunder as a material inducement to enter into this Agreement. Contractor shall therefore provide properly skilled professional and technical personnel to perform all services under this Agreement. All work performed by Contractor under this Agreement shall be in accordance with applicable legal requirements and shall meet the standard of quality ordinarily to be expected of competent professionals in Contractor’s field of expertise.

13. Compliance with Laws.
a. Contractor shall comply with all local, state and federal laws and regulations applicable to the services required hereunder, including any rule, regulation or bylaw governing the conduct or performance of Contractor and/or its employees, officers, or board members.

15. Indemnity. Contractor shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the City and its officials, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers from and against any and all losses, liability, claims, suits, actions, damages, and causes of action arising out of any personal injury, bodily injury, loss of life, or damage to property, or any violation of any federal, state, or municipal law or ordinance, to the extent caused, in whole or in part, by the willful misconduct or negligent acts or omissions of Contractor or its employees, subcontractors, or agents, by acts for which they could be held strictly liable, or by the quality or character of their work. The foregoing obligation of Contractor shall not apply when (1) the injury, loss of life, damage to property, or violation of law arises from the sole negligence or willful misconduct of the City or its officers, employees, agents, or volunteers and (2) the actions of Contractor or its employees, subcontractor, or agents have contributed in no part to the injury, loss of life, damage to property, or violation of law. It is understood that the duty of Contractor to indemnify and hold harmless includes the duty to defend as set forth in Section 2778 of the California Civil Code. Acceptance by City of insurance certificates and endorsements required under this Agreement does not relieve Contractor from liability under this indemnification and hold harmless clause. This indemnification and hold harmless clause shall apply to any damages or claims for damages whether or not such insurance policies shall have been determined to apply. By execution of this Agreement, Contractor acknowledges and agrees to the provisions of this Section and that it is a material element of consideration.

In addition, Contractor shall require each subcontractor to similarly maintain Workers’ Compensation Insurance and Employer’s Liability Insurance in accordance with the laws of the State of California for all of the subcontractor’s employees. Any notice of cancellation or non-renewal of all Workers’ Compensation policies must be received by the City at least thirty (30) days prior to such change. The insurer shall agree to waive all rights of subrogation against City, its officers, agents, employees and volunteers for losses arising from work performed by Contractor for City. In the event that Contractor is exempt from Worker’s Compensation Insurance and Employer’s Liability Insurance for his/her employees in accordance with the laws of the State of California, Contractor shall submit to the City a Certificate of Exemption from Workers Compensation Insurance in a form approved by the City Attorney.
ii. General Liability Coverage. Contractor shall maintain commercial general liability insurance in an amount not less than one million dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence for bodily injury, personal injury and property damage. If a commercial general liability insurance form or other form with a general aggregate limit is used, either the general aggregate limit shall apply separately to the work to be performed under this Agreement or the general aggregate limit shall be at least twice the required occurrence limit. Required commercial general liability coverage shall be at least as broad as Insurance Services Office Commercial General Liability occurrence form CG 0001 (ed. 11/88) or Insurance Services Office form number GL 0002 (ed. 1/73) covering comprehensive General Liability and Insurance Services Office form number GL 0404

2. Compensation.
a. For and in consideration of the payments and agreements to be made and performed by City, Contractor agrees to construct the Project, including furnishing all materials and performing all work required for the Project, and to fulfill all other obligations as set forth in the Bidder’s Proposal, such contract price being One Hundred Sixty-Two Thousand Nine Hundred Thirty-Two Dollars $162,932.00.
2 b. City hereby promises and agrees to employ, and does hereby employ, Contractor to provide the materials, do the work, and fulfill the obligations according to the terms and conditions herein contained and referred to, for the prices set forth, and hereby contracts to pay the same at the time, in the manner, and upon the conditions set forth in the Project Documents.
c. Contractor agrees to receive and accept the prices set forth in the Bidder’s Proposal as full compensation for furnishing all materials, performing all work, and fulfilling all obligations hereunder. Such compensation shall cover all expenses, losses, damages, and consequences arising out of the nature of work during its progress or prior to its acceptance including those for well and faithfully completing the work and the whole thereof in the manner and time specified in the Project Documents; and also including those arising from actions of the elements, unforeseen difficulties or obstructions encountered in the prosecution of the work, suspension or discontinuance of the work, and all other unknowns or risks of any description connected with the work.

3. Completion of Work.
a. Contractor shall perform and complete all work within 50 working days from the date of commencement specified in the Notice to Proceed, and shall provide, furnish and pay for all the labor, materials, necessary tools, expendable equipment, and all taxes, utility and transportation services required for construction of the Project. b.

c. Contractor shall not be excused with respect to the failure to so comply by any act or omission of the City, the City Engineer, a City inspector, or a representative of any of them, unless such act or omission actually prevents the Contractor from fully complying with the requirements of the Project Documents, and unless the Contractor protests at the time of such alleged prevention that the act or omission is preventing the Contractor from fully complying with the Project Documents. Such protest shall not be effective unless reduced to writing and filed with the City within three (3) working days of the date of occurrence of the act or omission preventing the Contractor from fully complying with the Project Documents. d. City and Contractor recognize that time is of the essence in the performance of this Agreement and further agree that if the work called for under the Agreement is not completed within the time hereinabove specified, damages will be sustained by the City and that, it is and will be impracticable or extremely difficult to ascertain and determine the actual amount of damages the City will sustain in the event of, and by reason of, such delay. It is, therefore, agreed that such damages shall be presumed to be in the amount of $1,000/day per calendar day, and that the Contractor will pay to the City, or City may retain from amounts otherwise payable to Contractor, such amount for each calendar day by which the Contractor fails to complete the work, including corrective items of work, under this Agreement within the time hereinabove specified and as adjusted by any changes to the work. 3 4. Changes to Work. City and Contractor agree that the City may make changes to the work, or suspend the work, and no matter how many changes, such changes or suspensions are within the contemplation of the Contractor and City and will not be a basis for a compensable delay claim against the City nor be the basis for a liquidated damage claim against the Contractor.

Any change to the work shall be by way of a written instrument (“change order”) signed by the City and the Contractor, stating their agreement to the following:
a. The scope of the change in the work;
b. The amount of the adjustment to the contract price; and c. The extent of the adjustment to the Schedule of Performance.

The City Engineer is authorized to sign any change order provided that sufficient contingency funds are available in the City’s approved budget for the Project. All change in the work authorized by the change order shall be performed under the applicable conditions of the Project Documents. City and Contractor shall negotiate in good faith and as expeditiously as possible the appropriate adjustments for such changes.

5. Bonds. Contractor shall provide, before commencing work, a Faithful Performance Bond and a Labor and Material Bond, each for one-hundred percent (100%) of the contract price in the form that complies with the Project Documents and is satisfactory to the City Attorney.

6. Non-Assignability. Neither this Agreement nor any rights, title, interest, duties or obligations under this Agreement may be assigned, transferred, conveyed or otherwise disposed of by Contractor without the prior written consent of City.

7. Licenses. Contractor represents and warrants to City that it holds the contractor’s license or licenses set forth in the Project Documents, is registered with the Department of Industrial Relations pursuant to Labor Code Section 1725.5, and holds such other licenses, permits, qualifications, insurance and approvals of whatsoever nature which are legally required of Contractor. Contractor represents and warrants to City that Contractor shall, at its sole cost and expense, keep in effect or obtain at all times during the term of this Agreement, any licenses, permits, insurance and approvals which are legally required of Contractor to practice its profession. Contractor shall maintain a City of Lake Elsinore business license.

4 property, or violation of law. It is understood that the duty of Contractor to indemnify and hold harmless includes the duty to defend as set forth in Section 2778 of the California Civil Code.

Acceptance by City of insurance certificates and endorsements required under this Agreement does not relieve Contractor from liability under this indemnification and hold harmless clause.

This indemnification and hold harmless clause shall apply to any damages or claims for damages whether or not such insurance policies shall have been determined to apply.

22. Prevailing Wages.
a. Contractor and all subcontractors shall adhere to the general prevailing rate of per diem wages as determined and as published by the State Director of the Department of Industrial Relations pursuant to Labor Code Sections 1770, 1773, and 1773.2. Copies of these rates and the latest revisions thereto are on file in the office of the City Clerk of the City of Lake Elsinore and are available for review upon request. 8 b. Contractor's attention is directed to the provisions of Labor Code Sections 1774, 1775, 1776, 1777.5 and 1777.6. Contractor shall comply with the provisions of these Sections. The statutory provisions for penalties for failure to comply with the State's wage and the hours laws will be enforced.
c. Labor Code Sections 1774 and 1775 require the Contractor and all subcontractors to pay not less than the prevailing wage rates to all workmen employed in the execution of the contract and specify forfeitures and penalties for failure to do so. The minimum wages to be paid are those determined by the State Director of the Department of Industrial Relations. Labor Code Section 1776 requires the Contractor and all subcontractors to keep accurate payroll records, specifies the contents thereof, their inspection and duplication procedures and certain notices required of the Contractor pertaining to their location. The statutory penalties for failure to pay prevailing wages will be enforced. If the Project has been awarded to Contractor on or after April 1, 2015, Contractor and its subcontractors must furnish electronic certified payroll records to the Labor Commissioner. Beginning January 1, 2016, Contractor and its subcontractors must furnish electronic certified payroll records to the Labor Commissioner without regard to when the Project was awarded to Contractor. d.

The certificate will also fix the ratio of apprentices to journeymen to be used in the performance of the Agreement. The Contractor is required to make contributions to funds established for the administration of apprenticeship programs if the Contractor employs registered apprentices or journeymen in any apprenticeable trade and if other contractors on the public works site are making such contributions.

Information relative to apprenticeship standards, contributions, wage schedules and other requirements may be obtained from the State Director of Industrial Relations or from the Division of Apprenticeship Standards. Labor Code Section 1777.6 provides that it shall be unlawful to refuse to accept otherwise qualified employees as registered apprentices solely on the grounds of race, religious creed, color, national origin, ancestry, sex, or age. e.

Jesse Rodriguez, Assistant Planner
City of Lake Elsinore Community Development Department
130 S. Main Street
Lake Elsinore, CA 92530
Subject: Proposal for California Environmental Quality Act Compliance Services for the Vista Lago Global Academy Project
Dear Jesse:

Thank you very much for requesting a proposal for preparation of California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) consultation and document preparation services for the proposed public charter school Project located along Riverside Drive/State Route (SR) 74, between Joy Street and Walnut Drive, in the City of Lake Elsinore.

Project Understanding
The 10.0-acre Project site is comprised of one parcel (APN: 379-160-004) that is currently undeveloped, but within a developed area. The site is adjacent to roadways, multi-family residential, commercial, and an elementary school field. Direct access to the site is provided by Riverside Drive, which is also SR 74 that provides both regional and local access to the site. In addition, Joy Street that is approximately 370 feet south of the site, and Lakeshore Drive that is approximately 1,370 feet north of the site, provide local connections to Riverside Drive by the Project site.

The proposed Project would develop the site with a Transitional Kindergarten (TK) through 12th grade public charter school to accommodate up to 1,200 students. The proposed public charter school would include 77,991 square feet of classroom area, a 15,604-square-foot gymnasium, a 17,834-square-foot multipurpose room, a sports field, a standalone 3,995-square-foot general office building, and associated campus improvements. The total square footage of the Project would be 118,536 square feet of building area on the 10-acre site, which would result in a Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of 0.27. The proposed buildings would vary in height. The proposed gymnasium would be the tallest with a maximum height of 35 feet. The Project includes 6-foot high, decorative masonry walls around the site perimeter and ornamental iron fencing and gates separating the school campus from the office building. The Project includes landscaping over 30.4% of the site (129,376 square feet total; 63,146 square feet of general landscape and 65,528 square feet of turf play area). The Project includes a Commercial Design Review (CDR-2025-11) and a Conditional Use Permit (CUP-2025-08) to allow building heights to exceed the 30-foot building height limit of the R-3 zone by up to 5 feet.

The Project would be constructed in three phases. The first phase includes the middle-school/high-school building, interior and perimeter landscaping, parking, drive aisles, and a portion of the outdoor dining space. The second phase includes construction of the elementary school building, a gymnasium, a multipurpose building, arts, music, and innovation lab spaces, a sports field, and other recreation areas. The third phase includes construction of the general office building and its parking lot.

The Project site is split between two planning designations. The northwestern half of the site has a General Plan land use designation of High-Density Residential, and a zoning designation of R-3 and the southeastern half of the site has a General Plan land use designation of General Commercial and is zoned as C-2.

Page 2 of 13 ends

[email protected]
The General Plan Land Use Element describes that the High Density Residential designation provides for public and quasi-public uses, and similar and compatible uses. Schools are a permitted use in the R-3 High Density Residential District per Municipal Code Section 17.84.020(J) at a maximum lot coverage of 60 percent including all structures, drive aisles, and parking areas. The General Plan Land Use Element also describes that the General Commercial designation provides for services, public and quasi-public uses, and similar and compatible uses with an allowable FAR up to 0.40. Schools would apply to the public and quasi-public uses allowed by the General Plan. The Municipal Code Section 17.84.010 uses permitted in the C-2 district do not specifically list schools, but do allow other uses similar to those listed, which include assembly, institution, business colleges and professional schools, and certain recreation facilities with a CUP.

Project Applicable CEQA Documentation
Because the proposed Project appears consistent with the existing High Density Residential/R-3 and General Commercial/C-2 General Plan land use and zoning designations for the site and would be developed at a FAR of

0.27, which is below the allowable density of both designations, the Project may qualify for a 15183 exemption per California Public Resources Code § 21083.3(b) and CEQA Guidelines Section 15183 utilizing the General Plan EIR.

Preparing a 15183 exemption document would provide for a “substantial evidence” standard of review, which is superior than the “fair argument” standard of review that is applicable to a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) under CEQA.

California Public Resources Code Section 21083.3 provides, in relevant part, that “[i]f a development project is consistent with the general plan of a local agency and an environmental impact report was certified with respect to that general plan,” CEQA review of that project “shall be limited to effects on the environment which are peculiar to the parcel or to the project and which were not addressed as significant effects in the prior environmental impact report, or which substantial new information shows will be more significant than described in the prior environmental impact report.”
Therefore, the scope of work includes preparation of a CEQA 15183 exemption document and related studies.

However, the scope of work also includes tasks for preparation of MND in the case that additional information reveals that an MND is a more appropriate CEQA document for the proposed Project. Should it be identified that a different CEQA documentation is better suited for the Project, the City will be immediately notified.

Qualifications
RE Consulting provides solutions-driven CEQA environmental documentation, planning, and strategy services to public and private sector clients. With a deep understanding that was developed through many years of experience implementing environmental science and regulation, reasoned analysis and thoughtful judgment is used to identify potential project issues related to all environmental resource topics and mitigation solutions to alleviate project effects, maintain environmental quality, and move the project forward.

The objective is to resolve environmental issues based on fact and provide well-rounded solutions consistent with project objectives and environmental quality goals; and to present complex scientific information in a manner that is clear and understandable to decision makers, the public, and scientific professionals. RE Consulting is successful because the approach is to be proactive with clients, actively manage the technical team’s analysis and to ensure clear communication amongst the project team and the client to keep everyone on the same page and move the project forward.

Renee Escario, Project Manager: Renee Escario will serve as the day-to-day contact and lead all interactions for this project. Renee has over 24 years of experience providing environmental consulting services, which includes working with many project proponents, cities, and counties in southern California. Her CEQA experience includes

Page 3 of 13 ends

[email protected]
managing and preparing a variety of environmental compliance documents with a focus on CEQA Mitigated Negative Declarations (MNDs), Environmental Impact Reports (EIRs), Addendums, Exemptions, and Subsequent environmental documents. She will be responsible for all aspects of project implementation including City communication, project team coordination, document development, quality control, and budget and schedule tracking. Renee has completed various projects within the City of Lake Elsinore and for educational facilities. Please see the attached resume for examples of both school projects and completed projects within the City of Lake Elsinore.

Scope of Work
Task 1. Project Initiation and Project Description
Upon receipt of the Notice to Proceed, Renee Escario will communicate with the City to discuss the proposed Project and to: review and confirm the scope of work, Project information, obtain updated plans and construction details, existing relevant technical studies, needed technical information, and projects to be included in the cumulative analysis, as applicable. After receipt and review of the information, a draft Project Description will be prepared and submitted to the City for review. The Project Description will detail the proposed phased construction and operation of the Project. Graphics showing the regional and local location, existing site views, and the proposed site plans will be included. The required discretionary approvals for implementation of the Project will be listed in the Project Description. After receiving comments, a revised Project Description will be provided. It is assumed that the Project Description will go through two rounds of review.

Task 1 Deliverables: An electronic copy (both MS Word and Adobe PDF) of the draft Project Description for review and a revised Project Description pursuant to comments.

Task 2. Technical Studies
Based on the information received in the Request for Proposal, it is anticipated that the Project Applicant has prepared a Geotechnical Study, Transportation/Traffic Study, Sewer System Analysis, Water System Analysis, Hydrology Study, and Water Quality Management Plan that would be reviewed and incorporated into the CEQA document analysis; and that preparation of the following technical studies should be included within this scope of work: Biological Assessment and MSHCP Consistency Analysis; Cultural and Paleontological Report; Air Quality, Greenhouse Gas, and Energy Analysis; Noise and Vibration Impact Analysis, and a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment.

Task 2a - Review of Existing Data and Technical Studies: The existing technical studies prepared for the site (i.e.

Geotechnical Study, Transportation/Traffic Study, Sewer System Analysis, Water System Analysis, Hydrology Study, and Water Quality Management Plan) would be reviewed for CEQA information adequacy. Comments will be provided within each document and a memorandum will be prepared to summarize comments and recommendations, as necessary. Any studies that are revised pursuant to comments would be reviewed and any further comments and/or recommendations would be submitted to the City in another memorandum. The information within these studies would be included in the environmental analysis (as detailed in Task 3) and the studies will be appended to the CEQA document.

Task 2b - Air Quality Technical Analysis: The Project site is located within the South Coast Air Basin (Basin) under the local jurisdiction of the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD). A construction and operational air quality analysis would be conducted in accordance with the procedures and methodologies set forth in the SCAQMD's CEQA Air Quality Handbook. The quantitative analysis of construction and operational emissions would be conducted using the most recent version of the California Emissions Estimator Model (CalEEMod), which includes emissions associated with the construction (i.e., on-site construction equipment, fugitive dust, and off-site vendor and worker trips) and long-term operational emissions (i.e., project-related vehicle trips and on-site area source

Page 4 of 13 ends

[email protected]
emissions). The estimated construction emissions will be quantified and evaluated against the applicable SCAQMD thresholds of significance to determine whether potential air quality impacts would result.

In addition, as recommended by SCAQMD, the construction analyses will include an assessment of the Project’s possible effect on local air quality (including localized carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, and fine particulate matter) concentrations at nearby sensitive receptor locations. SCAQMD has developed localized significance thresholds (LSTs) that are based on the pounds of emissions per day that can be generated by a project without causing or contributing to adverse localized air quality impacts. The analysis will identify appropriate mitigation measures to minimize air quality related impacts, if necessary. The air quality technical analysis will be attached to the CEQA document as an appendix.

Task 2c - Energy Demand Calculations: CalEEMod modeling will be completed to identify the increase in energy usage that would occur from construction and operation of the proposed Project; including: direct and indirect electricity and natural gas energy consumption, and transportation fuel consumption. The energy modeling calculations will be attached to the CEQA document as an appendix.

Task 2d - Greenhouse Gas Technical Analysis: A modeling assessment of the greenhouse gas emissions that would result from construction and operation of the Project will be prepared. The emissions would be modeled and evaluated in the context of the latest guidance from the California Attorney General’s Office, the Office of Planning and Research (OPR), the SCAQMD, and CARB. The total Project generated emissions would be compared to the City’s greenhouse gas emissions thresholds. The analysis will identify appropriate mitigation measures to minimize greenhouse gas emissions impacts, if necessary. The greenhouse gas technical analysis will be attached to the CEQA document as an appendix.

Task 2e - Biological Resources Assessment/MSHCP Consistency Analysis: A biological resource assessment/MSHCP Consistency Analysis will be prepared, which will commence with a database search of the California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB) and California Native Plant Society (CNPS) Electronic Inventory of Rare and Endangered Vascular Plants of California listings regarding sensitive biological resources known to occur in the region and vicinity of the site. Additional information sources will be consulted including the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW), United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), and historic/current aerial photographs as appropriate to identify jurisdictional waters and habitat for special-status species potentially occurring on-site. Literature detailing existing wildlife movement corridors and linkages will be reviewed to determine if the proposed Project is located within any local or regional wildlife movement corridors. The USFWS National Wetland Inventory and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Water Program “My Waters” data layers will be reviewed to determine whether any hydrologic features and wetland areas had been documented within the vicinity of the site.

Similarly, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Web Soil Survey will be used to identify any hydric soils.

A site survey will be conducted to document baseline conditions from which to evaluate the site’s potential to support special-status, sensitive habitat types, and/or jurisdictional drainages. The fieldwork will be conducted by qualified biologists in order to document the presence/absence of special-status biological resources, or to determine the potential for occurrence of such resources. The location of any special-status biological resources (i.e., plants, plant communities, drainage features, wildlife), if present onsite, will be recorded in the field with a handheld GPS unit. The site will be evaluated for its potential to support the special-status species identified during the literature review.

Additionally, the suitability of the vegetation on and surrounding the proposed Project site will be surveyed for its ability to provide suitable avian nesting opportunities. Notes will be taken on all plant and wildlife species observed on-site during the survey. The habitat assessment does not include focused surveys.

Page 5 of 13 ends

[email protected]
A biological technical and MSHCP consistency analysis report will be prepared identifying the results of the literature review and field investigation. A detailed map of the plant communities and their respective acreages will be provided in the report. If any sensitive biological resources (i.e., drainage features, suitable habitat for special-status species) are documented on-site, an exhibit will be created from the GPS data gathered during the site investigation. The report will include an analysis of the Project impacts to biological resources (i.e., special-status biological resources, jurisdictional waters), if any, and will describe wildlife movement opportunities in the region and local wildlife movement through the area. The report will also evaluate compliance with the Western Riverside County MSHCP requirements (i.e., Sections 6.1.2, 6.1.3, 6.1.4, and 6.3.2) and include any additional surveys that may be needed prior to development, mitigation measures, and permit requirements, if needed.

Task 2f - Cultural and Paleontology Technical Studies: This scope of work will be implemented to meet the specific requirements set forth by the City for a “Cultural Resources Assessment (Phase I)” The site likely has a limited history of ground disturbance and the City region is sensitive for resources. Thus, studies to evaluate the potential of the site to include archaeological and paleontological resources have been included. Records searches will be completed for the property from the South Central Coastal Information Center at San Diego State University, and the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC). The results of the records searches will identify previous studies and previously registered cultural resources within or near the Project site. An on-foot reconnaissance will be conducted of the Project site by qualified archaeologists and paleontologists in order to identify any previously unrecorded resources. Archaeological and paleontological reports will be prepared to provide the results of any previous studies, the record searches, data from field surveys, and NAHC consultation. For the purposes of this proposal, we will assume that the archaeology and paleontology resources report will be negative. If cultural resources, either historic or prehistoric, are identified on the site as a result of the records information or the field inspection, CEQA protocol will require that the resources be evaluated for significance and potential impacts analyzed. Significance testing will not be included in this proposal but will be discussed in a scope and budget addendum if needed.

Task 2g - Phase I Environmental Site Assessment: A Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (Phase I) will be prepared for the Project site. A Phase I would be prepared to provide a record of previous site uses, potential hazards near the site (or lack of), and evidence of known Recognized Environmental Conditions. The Phase I will include a description of the Project site, including: current uses, utilities, geography, a review of historical records (such as maps, directories, permits, database reports) of the site and adjoining areas. A site reconnaissance will be completed to document any identified PCB containing equipment, vapor encroachment conditions, hazardous material potential, and radon. Information from the Phase I will be included in the CEQA document evaluation of hazards, hazardous materials, and historic use evaluations. The Phase I would be attached to the CEQA document as an appendix.

Task 2h - Noise and Vibration Technical Study: Implementation of the proposed Project could result in an increase in noise levels in the areas surrounding the site (particularly the adjacent residential uses) during construction and operation. Additionally, potential vibration impacts on surrounding land uses may occur during construction from operation of heavy-duty construction equipment. A technical study will be prepared to evaluate the potential noise and vibration impacts on the nearby sensitive uses resulting from development and operation of the proposed Project and recommend measures, if necessary, to minimize identified impacts on these receptors. The analysis would determine whether construction or operation of the Project would exceed the applicable noise and vibration standards, or policies established in the City’s Noise Element and Noise Ordinance, and to identify measures to reduce construction effects on nearby sensitive receptors. To identify the existing ambient noise level on and adjacent to the Project site, long-term (24-hour) ambient noise level measurements will be conducted at up to six locations using a sound-level meter that satisfies the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).

Page 6 of 13 ends

[email protected]
Potential construction-related noise impacts will be evaluated by conduction of construction noise modeling using the Federal Highway Administration’s (FHWA’s) Roadway Construction Noise Model and information on the proposed type of construction equipment, the amount of activity, and the distance of sensitive land uses from the site. Potential vibration impacts associated with construction activities will also be analyzed using vibration data provided by the Federal Transit Administration.

The vehicular trips generated by the Project would be qualitatively evaluated and compared to the existing ambient noise levels. The Project traffic noise contributions would be compared to thresholds related to ambient increases in noise. Also, the study will provide an analysis of the Project’s onsite operational noise sources, that include air conditioning units, parking lot activity, and outdoor areas, which will be compared to the City’s noise regulations. The Project is located within an urban environment and is adjacent to a roadway. The noise from the existing uses would be evaluated and compared to the exterior and interior noise requirements. If potentially significant noise and vibration impacts are identified, appropriate mitigation measures will be provided. The Noise and Vibration Technical Study will be attached to the CEQA document as an appendix.

Task 2 Deliverables: Electronic copies of the technical studies, which will also be appendices to the CEQA document.

It is assumed that the technical studies will go through two rounds of review and revision.

Task 3. Preparation of the Administrative Draft CEQA Document Preparation of the CEQA document will commence immediately following the Project initiation and submittal of the Project Description to the City for review. During review of the Project Description, research will be conducted, and information will be compiled related to existing conditions and regulations relevant to the impact analysis of the proposed Project.
15183 Exemption: Because the proposed Project is consistent with the City of Lake Elsinore’s General Plan, as described previously, the Project qualifies for an exemption from CEQA pursuant to Section 15183 of the CEQA Guidelines California Code of Regulations, which stipulates that a project that is consistent with the development density established by existing zoning, community plan, or general plan policies for which an EIR was certified shall not require additional environmental review, except as might be necessary to examine whether there are projectspecific significant effects which are peculiar to the project or its site. This will benefit the Project by allowing it to be covered by the environmental impact findings made in the General Plan and provide a higher standard of review.

Completing the analysis pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15183 would also focus the effort on a narrow range of potentially significant impacts, including those which:
• Are peculiar to the project or the parcel on which the project would be located • Were not analyzed as significant effects in a prior EIR on the Zoning Action, General Plan, or community plan with which the project is consistent;
• Are potentially significant off-site impacts and cumulative impacts which were not discussed in the prior EIR prepared for the general plan, community plan or zoning action; or • Are previously identified significant effects which, because of substantial new information which was not known at the time the EIR was certified, are determined to have a more severe adverse impact than discussed in the prior EIR.

To evaluate the Project pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15183, an Initial Study checklist would be prepared for the Project addressing each of the environmental resource areas comparing the impacts of the Project to those identified in the General Plan EIR and implementing the General Plan EIR mitigation measures and standard development requirements. The Section 15183 analysis would summarize the findings of the General Plan EIR and mitigation measures to identify if any new or increased impacts would occur from the Project, pursuant to the Section 15183 criteria listed above.

Mitigated Negative Declaration: Should Project information be identified that reveals that an MND is the appropriate CEQA document for the proposed Project, then an Initial Study/MND would be prepared utilizing the technical studies described previously. The IS/MND would provide an analysis of construction and operation of the proposed Project and would include Project specific mitigation measures and existing relevant regulations to reduce potential impacts to a less than significant level.

Administrative Draft
The Administrated Draft CEQA document (whether a 15183 exemption or an MND) will be comprehensive, accurate, objective, and will fully comply with CEQA and all applicable guidance and procedures established by the City of Lake Elsinore. The CEQA document will include a discussion of each CEQA Environmental Checklist impact resource topic that will describe the existing conditions, evaluation of potential environmental impacts including temporary (construction-related) and long-term (operational) impacts, and identification of applicable mitigation measures, as necessary. The scope of analysis for each environmental issue area is described below.

Aesthetics: The Project site is undeveloped and bound by urban developed land uses, that includes roadways residential and commercial uses, and an elementary school. The Project would develop new school structures and recreational facilities, along with parking and circulation on the site. The CEQA document will discuss the potential of the Project to impact scenic vistas, the adjacent eligible state scenic highway (SR-74), conflict with applicable zoning and other regulations related to scenic quality. The analysis will discuss the Project’s proposed setbacks and height in relation to the existing development in the area. In addition, the proposed exterior lighting and building materials that could result in lighting and glare effects would be evaluated. Existing City regulations, such as municipal code requirements, will be included to reflect the related reduction in potential impact.

Agriculture and Forestry Resources: There are no agriculture or forest resources or zoned areas on or adjacent to the Project site. This issue will be briefly discussed in the CEQA document.

Air Quality: The air quality technical analysis described previously in Task 2 will be summarized and included in the air quality section of the CEQA document. The impact analysis will also include an evaluation of the Project’s conformance with the most recent air quality management plan (AQMP). Existing SCAQMD Rules that reduce potential impacts would be listed and any required mitigation from either the General Plan if preparing a 15183 exemption or as applicable if preparing an MND, as a result of potential exceedances of air quality emissions thresholds will be included, as necessary.

Biological Resources: The biological resource assessment/MSHCP consistency analysis described previously in Task 2 will be summarized and included in the biological resources section of the CEQA document. Any sensitive biological resources (i.e., drainage features, suitable habitat for special-status species) documented on-site will be described and an analysis of the Project impacts to biological resources (i.e., special-status biological resources, jurisdictional waters), if any, will be detailed along with any changes to wildlife movement opportunities in the region and local wildlife movement through the area. The biological resources section of the CEQA document will identify the existing conditions and evaluate the Project’s potential to result in biological resource impacts and include an MSHCP consistency analysis for all applicable MSHCP regulations. Existing regulations that reduce the potential for impacts, such as the MSHCP regulations and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act that protects nesting birds, will be listed.

Cultural Resources: The Project site is undeveloped, and no historic resources are located on the site. The potential for archeological resources pursuant to the site survey and records research conducted under Task 2 will be summarized; along with research of existing onsite soils, depth of previous disturbance, and the potential for disturbance in native soils that are sensitive for resources. Mitigation measures would be included pursuant to the General Plan EIR if preparing a 15183 exemption or as prescribed for the Project by the technical study if preparing an MND, if necessary, to reduce potential impacts to a less than significant level.

[email protected]
Energy: The energy demand calculations described previously in Task 2 will be summarized and included in the energy section of the CEQA document. The impact analysis will also include an evaluation of the Project’s conformance with the CalGreen and Title 24 energy efficiency standards to detail that the Project would not result in wasteful, inefficient, and unnecessary uses of energy that could conflict with a state or local plan.

Geology and Soils: Like most of southern California, the Project site could be subject to such seismic events as strong ground shaking and seismically induced settlement, liquefaction, landslides, expansive soils, and other seismic effects. Information from the Project specific Geotechnical Study provided by the Project Applicant, the U.S.

Geologic Service (USGS), geotechnical mapping, and other soils resources will be utilized to identify the geotechnical or soils related hazards. Mitigation measures will be included, if necessary, to ensure that the Project complies with the California Building Code and City Code requirements related to geologic and soils hazards, and that potential impacts would be reduced to a less than significant level.

In addition, the potential for paleontological resources pursuant to study conducted under Task 2 will be summarized; along with research of existing onsite soils, depth of previous disturbance, and the potential for disturbance in native soils that are sensitive for resources. Mitigation measures would be included pursuant to the General Plan EIR if preparing a 15183 exemption or as prescribed for the Project by the technical study if preparing an MND, if necessary, to reduce potential paleontological related impacts to a less than significant level.

Greenhouse Gas Emissions: The greenhouse gas technical analysis described previously in Task 2 will be summarized and included in the CEQA document. This will detail the increase in emissions that would result from the proposed Project, that the Project would be consistent with current Title 24 compliant building structures, equipment, appliances, and fixtures. In addition, GHG emissions will also be discussed with respect to the goals and recommended actions of the state’s Climate Change Scoping Plan, and other applicable regulations.

Hazards and Hazardous Materials: A Phase I Environmental Site Assessment will be prepared as described previously in Task 2 and summarized in the CEQA document. Records searches of governmental databases that include the California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) and Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) will be completed to identify any hazardous materials site in the Project vicinity that could have a potential adverse effect on the environment.

The CEQA document will also include an evaluation of Project related potential hazards from construction and operational routine use, transportation, disposal, or accidental release of hazardous materials into the environment.

Potential effects related to emergency response plans will also be described. Mitigation measures from the General Plan EIR if preparing a 15183 exemption document or as needed if an MND is prepared, will be included to reduce potential impacts to a less than significant level. The Project site’s location in relation to the nearest airport and airport related hazards will also be described in the CEQA document.

Hydrology and Water Quality: The proposed grading and construction activities would disturb the existing soils, which could result in erosion and/or the discharge of pollutants. To evaluate potential construction impacts, the CEQA document will describe the proposed construction process and how construction activities would implement the required Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) and best management practices (BMPs) that are required to comply with the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) General Permit.

Implementation of the proposed Project would develop large areas of impervious surfaces on the Project site but would also develop areas of landscaping and improvements such as catch basins/swales to capture, retain, and filter runoff. Analysis of operation of the Project will utilize the Project’s preliminary Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP) and hydrology study as prepared by the Project Applicant to describe the operational BMPs that would be implemented to comply with the City and the Regional Water Quality Control Board drainage and storm water requirements and to reduce potential impacts to a less than significant level.

Land Use and Planning: As described previously, the Project site is undeveloped but surrounded by urban uses, such as roadways, multi-family residential, commercial, and school sports fields. Existing vacant parcels in the Project vicinity are planned for urban uses. The proposed Project is consistent with the existing High Density Residential/R-3 and General Commercial/C-2 General Plan land use and zoning designations for the site and would be developed at a FAR of 0.27, which is below the allowable density of both designations. The Project includes a Commercial Design Review as required by the Municipal Code for the proposed use and a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to allow building heights to exceed the 30-foot building height limit of the R-3 zone portion of the site by up to 5 feet. The C-2 zone allows building heights of up to 45 feet, which the 35-foot-high proposed building height would not exceed. The CEQA document would detail that the Project would not result in physical division of an existing community; and would not conflict with a plan or policy that was adopted to avoid or reduce an environmental effect.

Mineral Resources: No mineral resources are known to occur on the Project site. This issue will be briefly discussed in the CEQA document.

Noise: Implementation of the proposed Project could result in a temporary increase in noise and vibration levels during construction of the Project. The Project would generate noise from school operations and equipment onsite.

Operational traffic noise that would occur from the related vehicular trips would be quantified to determine if noise from traffic would increase the existing ambient noise volumes. In addition, the Project is located within an urban environment. The noise from the existing uses would be evaluated and compared to the exterior and interior noise requirements to determine if mitigation would be required. The noise and vibration technical analysis described previously in Task 2 will be summarized and included in the noise section of the CEQA document. Applicable mitigation from the General Plan EIR would be included if preparing a 15183 exemption document and any required mitigation identified in the technical study will be included, if preparing an MND.

Population and Housing: Implementation of the proposed Project would not provide housing on the Project site.

This section will describe the existing housing and residential population in the City, the City’s housing and population growth projections, and the employee population that would be generated from the proposed Project. It is anticipated that the limited increase in onsite employees that would occur from the proposed school would be within regional growth projections, which will be detailed in the CEQA document.

Public Services and Recreation: Implementation of the Project would provide new school uses onsite, which would result in slight increases in demands for public services. The CEQA document will identify the location of the service providers in the Project area, including: law enforcement, fire protection, schools, parks, and other public facilities, and evaluate how the existing provision of services could serve the proposed Project, without necessitating the need for new or physically altered facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental impacts.

Transportation: The transportation analysis within the CEQA document will summarize the Project related vehicular trips and VMT analysis from the technical study to be provided, as described under Task 2. The discussion will also describe existing bus routes, sidewalks, and bicycle paths that could be utilized by future site students. Potential effects related to emergency access and design features that could result in hazards would also be described along with regulations that are implemented to reduce potential impacts. Applicable mitigation measures from the General Plan EIR, if preparing a 15183 exemption, or mitigation identified by the technical study if preparing an MND, would be included to detail how impacts would be reduced to a less than significant level.

Tribal Cultural Resources: The tribal cultural resources section of the CEQA document will describe the Project site, previous soils disturbance, and the potential of the Project to impact resources. Chapter 532, Statutes of 2014 (i.e., Assembly Bill [AB] 52), requires that Lead Agencies evaluate a project’s potential to impact “tribal cultural resources.” Such resources include “[s]ites, features, places, cultural landscapes, sacred places, and objects with cultural value to a California Native American tribe that are eligible for inclusion in the California Register of Historical Resources or included in a local register of historical resources.” Also, per AB 52 (specifically PRC 21080.3.1),

Page 10 of 13 ends

[email protected]
Native American consultation is required upon request by a California Native American tribe that has previously requested that the City provide it with notice of development projects.

AB 52 is not applicable to CEQA exemption documents and would only be applied to the MND process. It is understood that the City has begun the AB 52 outreach process for the proposed Project. As part of preparation of the Cultural Resources Assessment a Sacred Lands File Search will be requested from the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC).

The 15183 exemption document would include the General Plan EIR mitigation measures related to tribal cultural resources. If an MND is prepared for the Project, any responses to the City’s AB 52 outreach letters will be summarized, and any mitigation identified through the City’s consultation process would be included in the MND.

Utilities: To determine the effect of the proposed Project on existing utility providers and infrastructure, RE Consulting will review the water and sewer reports that were prepared for the Project, utilize existing plans, and public utility information to determine the current levels of service and if the Project would have a potential impact on the existing water, wastewater, drainage, and solid waste services. The analysis will determine whether utility facilities could serve the Project while maintaining existing levels of service. In addition, the analysis would determine if the Project would necessitate the need for new or physically altered facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental impacts.

Wildfire: The Project site is located within an urban area and per Cal Fire Hazard Mapping, is not within a high fire hazard severity zone and would not include features that would increase potential impacts related to wildfire. This issue will be discussed in the CEQA document.

Mandatory Findings of Significance (MND Task): This section is specific to an IS/MND and will summarize findings from other sections of the IS/MND related to the potential of the Project to degrade the environment, reduce habitat, effect wildlife and plant populations, and eliminate important examples of California history or prehistory to determine if the Project would result in significant impacts to the environment.

As part of preparation of an MND, a cumulative impacts analysis will be prepared and will focus on the potential environmental impacts from this proposed Project, along with other proposed and reasonably foreseeable Projects in the area. A list of cumulative projects will be developed in coordination with the City that will be used to evaluate and discuss the Project’s potential contribution to the overall cumulative baseline to identify any potential “cumulatively considerable” impacts. Additionally, the analysis within this section will discuss the Project’s potential to result in environmental effects that would cause substantial adverse effects (directly or indirectly) on human beings.

Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program: A Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) will be prepared to comply with Public Resources Code Section 21081.6. The MMRP will contain a compilation of mitigation measures from the CEQA document and any modifications to the measures pursuant to any public review MND comments that are received. The MMRP will identify responsible parties, timing or phasing, and enforcement agencies. The MMRP will be provided in a matrix format and would be submitted for City review and any comments will be incorporated.

Task 3 Deliverable: Electronic copies in both MS Word and Adobe PDF formats of the Administrative Draft CEQA document and MMRP. All appendices (technical studies) will be provided in Adobe PDF format with modeling attached. It is assumed that the Administrative Draft CEQA document will go through two rounds of review and revision.

Task 4. Preparation of the Screencheck and Completed CEQA Document After review and revision of the Administrative Draft CEQA document, a Screencheck Draft CEQA document will be prepared and submitted to the City. Should the Project be modified, an augment to this scope of work will be provided. After two previous rounds review of the Administrative Draft under Task 3, it is assumed that only minor revisions would occur to the document prior to preparing the CEQA document for City approval to finalize and/or distribute. After approval of the Screencheck document, either a completed 15183 exemption document or a public review draft IS/MND would be submitted to the City.

Task 4 Deliverable: Electronic copies of the CEQA document in MS Word and Adobe PDF will be provided, and appendices will be provided in PDF.

Task 5. Distribution of the Draft IS / MND and Notice of Intent If an IS/MND is prepared, a Notice of Intent (NOI) will be prepared on City letterhead and in the City’s format for City review and approval. Upon receipt of written approval (via email) from the City for release of the public review Draft IS/MND, RE Consulting will initiate production of the Draft IS/MND and NOI. RE Consulting will submit copies to the City, post the NOI with the County Clerk and to CEQAnet, and mail the NOI public review distribution pursuant to the City’s distribution list through certified mail. It is assumed that City staff will post the NOI with the local newspaper and the City’s website.

Task 5 Deliverable: Electronic copies of the Draft IS/MND and NOI in MS Word and Adobe PDF will be provided.

Hard copies of the NOI will be prepared and sent through certified mail. All appendices (technical studies) will be provided electronically. Hard copies can be provided, as needed, and will be invoiced based on direct cost.

Task 6. Response to Comments and Final IS / MND
Response to Comments: If an IS/MND is prepared, responses to all public and agency comments that raise substantive environmental issues associated with the proposed Project will be prepared. It is difficult to predict the number, length of letter, and the complexity of the needed responses to the environmental issues of concern raised in the comment letters that will be received in response to the Draft IS/MND. The length of the letter received does not necessarily mean that the issues raised are environmental in nature or would be complex in responding. As an estimate based on the limited nature of the Project, the proposed budget includes approximately 20 hours for this task, plus two rounds of review and revision.

Revisions to the Draft IS/MND: If an IS/MND is prepared and comments to the Draft IS/MND are received that result in revisions or updates to the IS/MND text, these changes would be identified in the Final IS/MND via strikeout and double underline. Upon incorporation of two rounds of comments to the response to comments, MMRP, and revised IS/MND (if necessary), the Final IS/MND, and MMRP will be submitted.

Task 6 Deliverable: Electronic copies of the Final IS/MND, including the response to comments and any revisions to the Draft IS/MND, will be provided in MS Word and Adobe PDF. Appendices will be provided in Adobe PDF.

Task 7. Notice of Determination
Notice of Determination (NOD): A draft NOD will be prepared and submitted to the City for review for either the 15183 exemption or MND, as applicable. The NOD will be revised and resubmitted for City review and any additional revisions prior to finalization. The NOD will be posted with the County Clerk and on CEQAnet by RE Consulting on behalf of the City after City Council approval of the Project.

Task 7 Deliverable: Draft and Final NOD documents will be provided electronically. In addition, the NOD will be posted to CEQAnet and with the County Clerk after approval of the Project by the City Council. It is assumed that the Project Applicant will provide a check for payment of California Department of Fish and Wildlife and County Clerk fees concurrent with filing of the NOD at the County Clerk.

Renee has over 24 years of experience providing environmental consulting services with a focus on California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Her CEQA technical experience includes working through and mitigating both programmatic planning level and site specific issues related to all environmental resource topics. Renee is accomplished in working with technical specialists to both identify potential impacts and potential mitigation solutions to both alleviate project effects and move the project forward. Examples of both school projects and projects within the City of Lake Elsinore are provided below.

School Project Experience Examples
South Orange County Community College District Saddleback at ATEP Project CEQA Addendum Renee completed a CEQA Addendum that evaluated construction and operation of the Advanced Technology & Education Park (ATEP) Culinary Arts (Building A) and Auto Tech (Building B) (Project). Building A is a one-story 20,940 square foot building with teaching kitchens and teaching restaurant space, administrative offices, and storage. Building B is a one-story 36,700 square foot building with teaching labs, demonstration labs, outdoor yard, administrative offices, and storage. The Project installed onsite utility systems that connected to the existing utility infrastructure adjacent to the site. The Project was determined to be consistent with its location within the Tustin Legacy Specific Plan Education Village (PA-1) area. CEQA document included an Addendum/Environmental Checklist to the Final Joint Program Environmental Impact Statement/Environmental Impact Report (FEIS/EIR) for the Disposal and Reuse of Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Tustin. The Project was approved in 2022-23, carried out, and implemented by South Orange County Community College District (SOCCCD) as Lead Agency, the City of Tustin and California Division of the State Architect (DSA) as Responsible Agencies. The Culinary Arts and Auto Tech programs are operational.

Goddard School Project CEQA Addendum, City of Tustin & South Orange County Community College District Renee completed a CEQA Addendum that evaluated construction and operation of a 14,400 square foot educational preschool with ancillary childcare services, outdoor play areas, a parking lot, and associated infrastructure improvements. The proposed one-story facility includes classrooms, administrative offices, conference room, kitchen, restrooms, utility rooms, and storage, as well as outdoor play areas. The Project installed onsite utility systems that connected to the existing utility infrastructure adjacent to the site. The CEQA document included an Addendum/Environmental Checklist to the FEIS/EIR for the Disposal and Reuse of MCAS Tustin. The Project was determined to be consistent with the existing Land Use Category 1 and would not change the intent of the Education Village (PA-1), which is defined as a “specialized educational environment with an array of public-serving uses.” The Addendum was adopted and the Project was approved in 2022. The school was constructed and is currently operational.

The Academy Charter High School Project Mitigated Negative Declaration, City of Santa Ana Renee was the project manager for this high school Project. The Project consists of development and operation of a residential private charter high school for up to 450 students, 80 of which would reside onsite, on an approximately 7.2- acre parcel located at 1901-1919 North Fairview Street in the northwestern portion of the City of Santa Ana.

Implementation of the Project requires a Conditional Use Permit to allow a school, a variance to deviate from the building and fence/wall height requirements, a lot merger, and a variance to reduce the required parking spaces, and approval of the site plan. The primary environmental issues involved: aesthetics, traffic, air quality, and noise. Under contract with the City of Santa Ana, an IS/MND was prepared for this Project. The Project was approved and the school is operational.

Long Beach Unified School District, Environmental Consulting Services, Long Beach, CA.

Renee has previous experience providing facilities planning and environmental consulting services to the Long Beach Unified School District. Renee’s responsibilities included project management of site specific facility development projects included in the District’s Facilities Master Plan and Measure K Bond Program. Additionally, Renee provided management of district wide site planning and environmental due diligence requirements pursuant to California Code of Regulations, Title 5. Primary environmental issues involved: hazardous materials, methane gases, fault hazards, historic resources, air quality, and noise.

City of Lake Elsinore Project Experience Examples
City of Lake Elsinore, Mission Trails Residential Project 15182 CEQA Exemption Renee was the project manager and CEQA author for this Project that would develop a 16.98-acre undeveloped site along Mission Trail within the East Lake Specific Plan area of the City of Lake Elsinore. The Project would construct 191 two-story residences that would be consistent with the Action Sports, Tourism, Commercial and Recreation and Mixed Use Overlay Specific Plan designation of the Project site. Renee prepared a CEQA document detailing that the proposed Project is consistent with the East Lake Specific Plan; and would not result in any new or increased impacts beyond those identified in the previous Specific Plan EIR; and therefore, qualifies for a CEQA exemption; pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15182. The Project was approved by the City in 2024.

Corydon Group Project CEQA Class 32 Exemption, City of Lake Elsinore Renee prepared a Class 32 Exemption CEQA document for two industrial warehouses that would each be 24,296 square feet, have a 4,613 square-foot mezzanine, two 14-foot-wide roll-up dock doors, and a maximum height of 34 feet 4 inches. Parking for 93 vehicles was included along with site access from Corydon Road by a 30-foot-wide fullaccess driveway. Other improvements include installation of bioretention basins to capture, filter, and infiltrate stormwater, and half-width improvements to Corydon Road, including curb, gutter, sidewalk, and undergrounding the existing telephone/power poles and lines fronting the site. The Project included a Conditional Use Permit (CUP), an Industrial Design Review (IDR), a Minor Modification to the East Lake Specific Plan to reallocate approximately 50,000 square feet of the Industrial Development Target allocated from Specific Plan Area 2 to Specific Plan Area 3, and a Minor Modification to expand the Airport Overlay designation to include the existing Skylark Airport. The document along with the Project was approved City in 2025.

Fleming and Sons Concrete Yard Project CEQA Class 32 Exemption, City of Lake Elsinore Renee prepared a Class 32 Exemption CEQA document for a one-story 7,500 square foot premanufactured steel building, parking for 12 concrete pump trucks, 13 passenger vehicles, one loading space, and site landscaping. The Project site would be bound by walls and landscape buffers along W. Minthorn Street and N. Riley Street.

Improvements include installation of a bioretention basin to capture, filter, and infiltrate stormwater. Access to the Project site would be provided by two driveways along N. Riley Street. The proposed Project would result in a Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of 0.10, which is within the allowable FAR of 0.45 of the M-1 zone. The Project includes a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) and Industrial Design Review (IDR). The Project was approved by the City in 2024.

Lakeshore Drive Condos Project CEQA Addendum, City of Lake Elsinore Renee was the project manager and CEQA author for this CEQA Addendum that evaluated development of a 10.29- acre undeveloped site along Lakeshore Drive within the Lake Elsinore Lakeshore Village Specific Plan area. The Project would construct 140 two-story duplex townhome residences consistent with the Attached Residential (AR) and Commercial/Residential Flex (CRF) Specific Plan designation of the site. The Project is consistent with the Lakeshore Village Specific Plan and the CEQA Addendum determined that the Project would not result in any new or increased impacts not previously disclosed in the Lakeshore Village Specific Plan Final MND and an addendum to the previous Specific Plan CEQA document was prepared per CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162 and 15164. Project issues of concern included engineering appropriate ingress or egress into the site, coordination with multiple agencies regarding planned roadway improvements, and construction noise and vibration. The Addendum was adopted, and the Project was approved by the City of Lake Elsinore in 2023.

REPORT TO SUCCESSOR AGENCY

Date: July 14, 2026
Subject: Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement with West Coast Arborists, Inc. (WCA) for Annual Citywide Tree Maintenance Services at Lake Elsinore Diamond Stadium to Apply a 3.20% Consumer Price Index
Recommendation
Approve and authorize the Executive Director to execute Amendment No. 1 to the Contractor Services Agreement with West Coast Arborists, Inc. for Annual Citywide Tree Maintenance Services at Lake Elsinore Diamond Stadium to apply a 3.20% Consumer Price Index (CPI) adjustment and increase compensation by an additional $960 for a total amount not to exceed $30,960 in such final form as approved by the Agency Attorney.

Background
The Successor Agency maintains an ongoing agreement with West Coast Arborists, Inc. For tree maintenance services at the Lake Elsinore Diamond Stadium, including trimming, removals, planting, and emergency response services. On April 2, 2026, the Successor Agency of the City of Lake Elsinore received a formal CPI adjustment request from WCA proposing a 3.20% increase in unit pricing, effective July 1, 2026.

Discussion
The requested 3.20% CPI increase reflects current economic conditions affecting labor, equipment, and operational costs in the tree-care industry. Approval of this amendment ensures continuity of essential tree maintenance services that support public safety and infrastructure protection while enhancing community aesthetics.

Fiscal Impact
Funds are available in Fiscal Year 2026-27 through ROPS funding.

REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Jason Simpson, City Manager
Prepared by: Shannon Buckley, Assistant City Manager
Date: June 23, 2026
Subject: Citywide Landscaping and Street Lighting District and the Landscaping and Street Lighting Maintenance District No. 1 for Fiscal Year 2026-27 Recommendation

1. Adopt A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE,

CALIFORNIA, CONFIRMING A DIAGRAM AND ASSESSMENT AND PROVIDING FOR

ANNUAL ASSESSMENT LEVY AFTER FORMATION OF A DISTRICT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2026-27 FOR THE CITYWIDE LANDSCAPE AND LIGHTING MAINTENANCE DISTRICT (LLMD); and

2. Adopt A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE,

CALIFORNIA, CONFIRMING A DIAGRAM AND ASSESSMENT AND PROVIDING FOR

ANNUAL ASSESSMENT LEVY AFTER FORMATION OF A DISTRICT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2026-27 FOR THE LANDSCAPE AND LIGHTING MAINTENANCE DISTRICT NO.1.

Background
The City Council established a Citywide LLMD in 1988 to maintain enhanced public street lighting, right of way landscaping, public street trees and parks throughout the City. The Citywide LLMD was established under the California Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972. Several improvement areas were established within the Citywide LLMD based upon the level and type of improvements maintained. These improvements then provided a basis for creating several benefit zones throughout the Citywide LLMD to ensure parcels were assessed based upon special benefit to them.

The Citywide LLMD only includes those facilities found to be exempt by Proposition 218, a Constitutional Amendment passed by the voters in November 1996. Park facilities are not exempt per the Constitutional Amendment. Therefore, since November 1996, park maintenance was removed from the Citywide LLMD and has been provided through the General Fund.

The Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 requires that an annual review and updated Engineer's Report be prepared to set assessment rates each Fiscal Year. In addition, any new assessment districts or any annexation of additional property into existing assessment districts also requires an Engineer's Report to be generated. The Fiscal Year 2026-27 assessments in the Citywide LLMD and the LLMD No. 1 Final Engineer's Report will be assessed on the Fiscal Year 2026-27 tax roll and are calculated by considering all anticipated expenditures for maintenance, utilities and administration. Any excess dollars from previous Fiscal Years are carried over to current reports and the assessment amounts are adjusted accordingly.

The assessment rates may or may not change from Fiscal Year to Fiscal Year, dependent upon maintenance to be performed, but cannot exceed the maximum amount set when the districts were originally formed, plus an annual cost of living adjustment (the Citywide LLMD has no cost of living adjustment). The amounts being assessed for the Fiscal Year 2026-27 tax year are either at or below the maximum assessment authorization. As a part of the process, the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 requires that an Engineer's Report must be filed, and a Public Hearing be held.

On May 12, 2026, the City Council adopted the appropriate resolutions to commence the proceedings for the annual levy of assessments for Fiscal Year 2026-27 for the Citywide LLMD and the LLMD No. 1. The Public Hearing was set for June 23, 2026.

Discussion
Attached hereto are two Resolutions confirming the diagram and assessment and providing for an annual assessment levy for both districts for Fiscal Year 2026-27. Details of the assessments are provided in the FY 2026-27 Final Engineer's Report for each district.

Fiscal Impact
It is anticipated the Citywide LLMD will generate approximately $1,466,500 from the assessments to cover the anticipated landscaping and street lighting maintenance activities associated with public improvements benefiting properties within the district. The estimated cost for this maintenance is approximately $2,202,451. Accordingly, a General Fund subsidy of $735,951 is included in the proposed City of Lake Elsinore Fiscal Year 2026-27 Annual Operating Budget.

The assessment rates for parcels have no inflation factor included; therefore, the rates have not increased over Fiscal Year 2025-26.
