“Anti-drain valve” or “check valve” means a value located under a sprinkler head to hold water in the system so it minimizes drainage from the lower elevation sprinkler heads. “Application rate” means the depth of water applied to a given area, usually measured in inches per hour. “Applied water” means the portion of water supplied by the irrigation system to the landscape. “As-builts” means a set of reproducible drawings which show significant changes in the work made during construction and which are usually based on drawings marked up in the field and other data furnished by the contractor.
“Automatic controller” means a mechanical or solid state timer, capable of operating valve stations to set the days and length of time of a water application. “Backflow prevention device” means a safety device used to prevent pollution or contamination of the water supply due to the reverse flow of water from the irrigation system. “Conversion factor (0.62)” means a number that converts the maximum applied water allowance from acre-inches per acre per year to gallons per square foot per year. The conversion factor is calculated as follows:
(325,829 gallons/43,560 square feet)/12 inches = (0.62) 325,829 gallons = one acre foot
43,560 square feet = one acre
12 inches = one foot
To convert gallons per year to 100-cubic-feet per year, another common billing unit for water, divide gallons per year by 748. (748 gallons = 100 cubic feet.) “Ecological restoration project” means a project where the site is intentionally altered to establish a defined, indigenous, historic ecosystem. “Effective precipitation” or “usable rainfall” means the portion of total precipitation that is used by the plants. Precipitation is not a reliable source of water, but can contribute to some degree toward the water needs of the landscape.
“Emitter” means drip irrigation fittings that deliver water slowly from the system to the soil. “Established landscape” means the point at which plants in the landscape have developed roots into the soil adjacent to the root ball. “Established period” means the first year after installing the plant in the landscape. “Estimated applied water use” means the portion of the estimated total water use is derived from applied water. The estimated applied water use shall not exceed the maximum applied water allowance. The estimated applied water use may be the sum of the water recommended through the irrigation schedule. “Estimated total water use” means the annual total amount of water estimated to be needed to keep the plants in the landscaped area healthy. It is based upon such factors as the local evapotranspiration rate, the size of the landscaped area, the types of plants and the efficiency of the irrigation system. “ET adjustment factor” means a factor of 0.8, that, when applied to reference evapotranspiration, adjusts for plant factors and irrigation efficiency, two major influences upon the amount of water that needs to be applied to the landscape.
A combined plant mix with a site-wide average of 0.5 is the basis of the plant factor portion of this calculation. The irrigation efficiency for purposes of the ET adjustment factor is
0.625, therefore, the ET adjustment factor (0.8) = (0.5/0.625). “Evapotranspiration” means the quantity of water evaporated from adjacent soil surfaces and transpired by plants during a specific time. “Flow rate” means the rate at which water flows through pipes and valves (gallons per minute or cubic feet per second). “Hydrozone” means a portion of the landscaped area having plants with similar water needs that are served by a valve or set or valves with the same schedule. A hydrozone may be irrigated or non-irrigated. For example, a naturalized area planted with native vegetation that will not need supplemental irrigation once established is a non-irrigated hydrozone. “Infiltration rate” means the rate of water entry into the soil expressed as a depth of water per unit of time (inches per hour). “Irrigation efficiency” means the measurement of the amount of water beneficially used divided by the amount of water applied. Irrigation efficiency is derived from measurements and estimates of irrigation system characteristics and management practices. The minimum irrigation efficiency for purposes of this chapter is 0.625. Greater irrigation efficiency can be expected from well designed and maintained systems.
“Landscape irrigation audit” means a process to perform site inspections, evaluate irrigation systems and develop efficient irrigation schedules. “Landscaped area” means the entire parcel less the building footprint, driveways, non-irrigated portions of parking lots, hardscapes — such as decks and patios and other non-porous areas. Water features are included in the calculation of the landscaped area. Areas dedicated to edible plants, such as orchards or vegetable gardens are not included. “Lateral line” means the water delivery pipeline that supplies water to the emitters or sprinklers from the valve. “Main line” means the pressurized pipeline that delivers water from the water source to the valve or outlet. “Maximum applied water allowance” means, for design purposes, the upper limit of annual applied water for the established landscaped area. It is based upon the area’s reference evapotranspiration, the ET adjustment factor, and the size of the landscaped area. The estimated applied water use shall not exceed the maximum applied water allowances. “Mined-land reclamation projects” means any surface mining operation with a reclamation plan approved in accordance with the Surface Mining and Reclamation Act of 1975. “Mulch” means any material such as leaves, bark, straw or other materials left loose and applied to the soil surface to reduce evaporation. “Operating pressure” means the pressure at which a system of sprinklers is designed to operate, usually indicated at the base of a sprinkler. “Overspray” means the water which is delivered beyond the landscaped area, wetting pavements, walks, structures or other non-landscaped areas. “Plant factor” means a factor that when multiplied by reference evapotranspiration, estimates the amount of water used by plants. For purposes of this chapter, the average plant factor or low water using plants ranges from 0 to 0.3, for average water using plants the range is 0.4 to 0.6, and for high water using plants the range is 0.7 to 1.0. “Rain sensing device” means a system which automatically shuts off the irrigation system when it rains. “Record drawing” or “as-builts” means a set of reproducible drawings which show significant changes in the work made during construction and which are usually based on drawings marked up in the field and other data furnished by the contractor. “Recreational area” means areas of active play or recreation such as sports fields, school yards, picnic grounds or other areas with intense foot traffic. “Recycled water,” “reclaimed water,” or “treated sewage effluent water” means treated or recycled waste water of a quality suitable for nonpotable uses such as landscape irrigation; not intended for human consumption.
“Reference evapotranspiration” or “ETo” means a standard measurement of environmental parameters which affect the water use of plants. ETo is given in inches per day, month, or year, and is an estimate of the evapotranspiration of a large field of four-inch to seven-inch tall, cool-season grass that is well watered. Reference evapotranspiration is used as the basis of determining the maximum applied water allowances so that regional differences in climate can be accommodated. “Rehabilitated landscape” means any re-landscaping project that requires a permit. “Run off” means water which is not absorbed by the soil or landscape to which it is applied and flows from the area. For example, run off may result from water that is applied at too great a rate (application rate exceeds infiltration rate) or when there is a severe slope. “Soil moisture sensing device” means a device that measures the amount of water in the soil. “Soil texture” means the classification of soil based on the percentage of sand, silt, and clay in the soil. “Sprinkler head” means a device which sprays water through a nozzle. “Static water pressure” means the pipeline or municipal water supply pressure when water is not flowing. “Station” means an area served by one valve or by a set of valves that operate simultaneously. “Turf” means a surface layer of earth containing mowed grass with its roots. Annual bluegrass, Kentucky bluegrass, perennial ryegrass, red fescue, and tall fescue are cool-season grasses.
Bermudagrass, kikuyugrass, seashore paspalum, St. Augustinegrass, zoysiagrass, and buffalo grass are warm-season grasses. “Usable rainfall” means the portion of total precipitation that is used by the plants. Precipitation is not a reliable source of water, but can contribute to some degree toward the water needs of the landscape.
“Valve” means a device used to control the flow of water in the irrigation system. “Water conservation concept statement” means a one-page checklist and a narrative summary of the project as shown in Exhibit “A” set out following this chapter. (Ord. 488 § 1, 1992)

1. Water Conservation Concept Statement. Each landscape documentation package shall include a cover sheet, referred to as the water conservation concept statement similar to the following example. It serves as a check list to verify that the elements of the landscape documentation package have been completed and has a narrative summary of the project.
2. The Maximum Applied Water Allowance.
a. A project’s maximum applied water allowance shall be calculated using the following formula:
MAWA = (ETo) (o.8) (LA) (o.62) where:
MAWA = Max. applied water allowance (gallons per year)
ETo = Reference evapotranspiration (inches per year)
0.8 = ET adjustment factor
LA = Landscaped area (square feet)
0.62 = Conversion factor (to gallons per square foot)
b. Two example calculations of the maximum applied water allowance i. Project Site One: Landscaped area of 50,000 sq. ft. in Fresno MAWA = (ETo) (.8) (LA) (.62)
= (51 inches) (.8) (50,000 square feet) (.62)
Maximum applied water allowance = 1,264,800 gallons per year (or 1,691 hundred-cubic-feet per year: 1,264,800/748 = 1,691) ii. Project Site Two: Landscaped area of 50,000 sq. ft. in San Francisco MAWA = (ETo) (.8) (LA) (.62)
= (35 inches) (.8) (50,000 square feet) (.62)
Maximum Applied Water Allowance = 868,000 gallons per year (or 1,160 hundred-cubic-feet per year) c. Portions of landscaped areas in public and private projects such as parks, playgrounds, sports fields, golf courses, or school yards where turf provides a playing surface or serves other recreational purposes may require water in addition to the maximum applied water allowance. A statement shall be included with the landscape design plan, designating areas to be used for such purposes and specifying any needed amount of additional water above the maximum applied water allowance.
3. Estimated Applied Water Use.
a. The estimated applied water use shall not exceed the maximum applied water allowance. b. A calculation of the estimated applied water use shall be submitted with the landscape documentation package. It may be calculated by summing the amount of water recommended in the irrigation schedule.
4. Estimated Total Water Use.

The estimated total water use may be calculated by summing the amount of water recommended in the irrigation schedule and adding any amount of water expected from effective precipitation (not to exceed twenty-five percent of the local annual mean precipitation) or may be calculated from a formula such as the following:
The estimated total water use for the entire landscaped area equals the sum of the estimated water use of all hydrozones in that landscaped area:
EWU (hydrozone) = (ETo) (PF) (HA) (.62)
(IE)
EWU (hydrozone) = Estimated water use (gallons per year) ETo = Reference evapotranspiration (inches per year)
PF = Plant factor
HA = Hydrozone area (square feet)
(.62) = Conversion factor
IE = Irrigation efficiency
b. If the estimated total water use is greater than the estimated applied water use due to precipitation being included as a source of water, an effective precipitation disclosure statement such as the one in the section entitled “Effective Precipitation” shall be included in the landscape documentation package.

Water Shortage Contingency Plan 1
City of Loma Linda
This Water Shortage Contingency Plan (WSCP) is a strategic plan that the City of Loma Linda (Loma Linda) uses to prepare for and respond to water shortages.
A water shortage occurs when the water supply available is insufficient to meet the normally expected customer water use at a given point in time. A shortage may occur due to a number of reasons. This includes water supply quality changes, climate change, drought, regional power outages, and catastrophic events (e.g., earthquakes). Additionally, the State may declare a statewide drought emergency and mandate that water suppliers reduce demands. The WSCP serves as the operating manual that Loma Linda will use to prevent catastrophic service disruptions through proactive, rather than reactive, mitigation of water shortages.
This WSCP provides a process for an Annual Water Supply and Demand Assessment and structured steps designed to respond to actual conditions. This level of detailed planning and preparation provides accountability and predictability to help Loma Linda maintain reliable supplies and reduce the impact of any supply shortages and/or interruptions.
This WSCP was prepared in conjunction with Loma Linda’s 2025 Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP), which is included in the 2025 Regional Urban Water Management Plan (2025 RUWMP) and is a standalone document that can be modified as needed. This document is compliant with the California Water Code (CWC) Section 10632 and incorporates guidance from the State of California Department of Water Resources (DWR) UWMP Guidebook.

1.0 Water Service Reliability Analysis
As part of the 2025 RUWMP, Loma Linda completed a water supply reliability analysis for normal, single-dry, and five-year consecutive dry year periods from 2030-2050. A Drought Risk Assessment (DRA) was also performed to analyze supply reliability under five consecutive years of drought from 2026-2030. As described in Chapter 3 of the 2025 RUWMP, the effects of a local drought are not immediately recognized since the region uses the local groundwater basins to simulate a large reservoir for long-term storage. Loma Linda is able to pump additional groundwater to meet increased demands in dry years and participates in efforts to replenish the basins with imported and local water through regional recharge programs. Additionally, Loma Linda implements several ongoing water conservation measures. Regional recharge programs and conservation help to optimize and enhance the use of regional water resources.
Based on the 2025 RUWMP analysis, Loma Linda’s water supply is reliable and not expected to see impactful change under drought conditions.
Even though localized drought conditions should not affect supply, other shortages may occur due to a number of reasons, such as water supply quality changes, regional power outage, State mandates for water use efficiency standards, and catastrophic events (e.g., earthquakes).
Therefore, Loma Linda will use this WSCP as appropriate to address shortages and other supply emergencies.
2.0 Annual Water Supply and Demand
Assessment Procedures
As an urban water supplier, Loma Linda must prepare and submit an Annual Water Supply and Demand Assessment (AWSDA or Annual Assessment) by July 1 each year pursuant to California Water Code (CWC) Section 10632.1 The Annual Assessment is an evaluation of the near-term outlook for supplies and demands to determine whether the potential for shortage exists and whether there is a need to trigger a WSCP shortage stage and response actions in the current calendar year to maintain supply reliability. This process will take place at the same time each year based on known circumstances and information available to Loma Linda at the time of analysis and can be updated or revised at any time if circumstances change.
Loma Linda will convene an internal WSCP Team to conduct the Annual Assessment each year.
The WSCP Team may include the following staff:
• Utilities Superintendent
• Finance
City of Loma Linda

3.0 Water Shortage Stages
With the exception of a catastrophic failure of infrastructure, Loma Linda does not foresee imposing a water shortage stage due to a supply shortage. Loma Linda may impose a water shortage stage to encourage efficient water use and to comply with State drought mandates, such as those that occurred in 2014 and again in 2022 with Governor Newsom’s Executive Order N-7-22 (EO N-7-22), which required that urban water suppliers implement demand reduction actions listed in the supplier’s State standard shortage Stage 2. This section provides information on the water shortage stages and response actions that Loma Linda may implement.
Loma Linda uses three shortage stages to identify and respond to water shortage emergencies.
At a minimum, Loma Linda encourages baseline conservation efforts year-round, regardless of a shortage emergency.
• Stage I: Normal Conditions - Voluntary Conservation Measures. Normal conditions shall be in effect when Loma Linda is able to meet all the water demands of its customers in the immediate future. During normal conditions, all water users should continue to use water wisely, to prevent the waste or unreasonable use of water, and to reduce water consumption to the amount necessary for ordinary domestic and commercial purposes.
• Stage II: Threatened Water Supply Shortage. In the event of a threatened water supply shortage which could affect Loma Linda’s ability to provide water for ordinary domestic and commercial uses, the City Council shall hold a public hearing at which consumers of the water supply shall have the opportunity to protest and to present their respective needs to Loma Linda. The City Council may then, by resolution, declare a City of Loma Linda
Water Shortage Contingency Plan 7
water shortage condition to prevail, and the selected shortage response actions shall be in effect.
• Stage III: Water Shortage Emergency - Mandatory Conservation Measures. In the event of a water shortage emergency in which Loma Linda may be prevented from meeting the water demands of its customers, the City Council shall, if possible given the time and circumstances, immediately hold a public hearing at which customers of Loma Linda shall have the opportunity to protest and to present their respective needs to the City Council. No public hearing shall be required in the event of a breakage or failure of a pump, pipeline, or conduit causing an immediate emergency. The Director of Public Services is empowered to declare a water shortage emergency, subject to the ratification of the City Council within seventy-two hours of such a declaration.
The CWC outlines six standard water shortage stages that correspond to a shortage compared to normal year availability. The six standard water shortage stages correspond to progressively increasing estimated shortage conditions (up to 10-, 20-, 30-, 40-, 50-percent, and greater than 50-percent shortage compared to the normal reliability condition) and align with the response actions that a water supplier would implement to meet the severity of the impending shortages.
The CWC allows suppliers with an existing WSCP that uses different water shortage stages to comply with the six standard stages by developing and including a cross-reference relating its existing shortage categories to the six standard water shortage stages. Loma Linda is maintaining the current three shortage stages for this WSCP. A crosswalk defines how Loma Linda’s current water shortage stages will align with the DWR’s standardized 6 stages of shortage. A visual representation of this alignment is shown in Figure 2 and Table 1.

4.0 Shortage Response Actions
This section was completed pursuant to CWC Section 10632(a)(4) and 10632.5(a) and describes the response actions that may be implemented for each stage to minimize social and economic impacts to the community.
In accordance with CWC 10632(b), Loma Linda analyzes and defines water features that are artificially supplied with water, including ponds, lakes, waterfalls, and fountains, separately from swimming pools and spas.
4.1 Supply Augmentation
Table 3 identifies the supply augmentation actions Loma Linda can take in the event of a water shortage condition. Loma Linda currently maintains interconnections with the City of Redlands and the City of San Bernardino. During water shortage emergencies, Loma Linda may be able to obtain supplemental water supply through these connections, if available.

4.3 Operational Changes and Additional Mandatory
Restrictions
During shortage conditions, operations may be affected by supply augmentation or demand reduction responses. Loma Linda will consider their operational procedures when it completes its Annual Assessment. Any additional mandatory restrictions implemented in response to the declaration of a shortage response stage, beyond the actions listed in Table 3 and Table 4, are listed in Loma Linda’s Ordinance 443 and Municipal Code Title 13 in Chapter 13.32 Waterefficient Landscape provided in Attachment 1.
4.4 Emergency Response Plan
In 2021, Loma Linda completed a Risk and Resilience Assessment (RRA) and Emergency Response Plan (ERP) in accordance with America’s Water Infrastructure Act (AWIA) of 2018.
The purpose of the RRA and ERP is to meet the AWIA compliance requirements and plan for long-term resilience of Loma Linda’s infrastructure. The RRA will assess Loma Linda’s water system to identify critical assets and processes that may be vulnerable to human and natural hazards, and to identify measures that can be taken to reduce risk and enhance resilience from service disruption for the benefit of customers. The RRA identifies and characterizes both infrastructure-specific and system-wide vulnerabilities and threats and quantifies the consequences of disruption. The RRA also identifies various options (and constraints) in addressing and mitigating risk. The RRA, in conjunction with the ERP, charts a course for water system resilience. The RRA also provided various recommendations to increase the reliability of Loma Linda’s system. Since critical pieces of infrastructure and specific vulnerabilities are detailed in the RRA and ERP, the contents of the document are confidential and for use by Loma Linda’s staff only. However, Loma Linda can confirm that these plans meet the requirements set forth by AWIA and evaluate seismic risks and mitigation actions to Loma Linda’s infrastructure.
In the event of a water shortage emergency resulting from equipment failure, power outage, or other catastrophe, Loma Linda is prepared to purchase emergency water supplies from nearby agencies while repairs or other remedial actions are underway. Loma Linda may also implement its three-stage plan for conservation, as described above, with either voluntary or mandatory reductions depending on the severity of the shortage. For severe disasters (Stage 3), mandatory water use reductions are specified.
4.5 Seismic Risk Assessment and Mitigation Plan
Disasters, such as earthquakes, can and will occur without notice. In order to prepare for seismic disasters Loma Linda has assessed the seismic risk and reliance of Loma Linda’s water facilities in the RRA mentioned in the section above.
City of Loma Linda
Water Shortage Contingency Plan 14
4.6 Shortage Response Action Effectiveness
Loma Linda has estimated the effectiveness of shortage response actions in Table 3 and Table 4 when data pertaining to such actions is available. It is expected that response actions effectiveness is also a result of successful communication and outreach efforts.
5.0 Communication Protocols
Loma Linda prioritizes effective communication, especially in times of a water shortage emergency. Loma Linda has a protocol in place to communicate with the public, government agencies, and other interested parties about water shortages and any anticipated or triggered shortage response actions. Communication methods may include email, bill inserts, handouts, informative flyers, direct mail pieces to newspapers, bus shelter advertisements, news releases, social media outreach, and website content. The City also has detailed a process to notify entities and public officials in the event of a water shortage in its Emergency Notification Plan which was updated in March 2024. Loma Linda provides reminders about shortage stages as they develop and encourages conservation at all times.
6.0 Compliance and Enforcement
Penalties and charges for excessive use are the heart of Ordinance 443 and the strongest incentive for conservation among the users. Service may be terminated to any customer who knowingly and willfully violates any provision of the WSCP and Ordinance 443. In addition, civil action penalties by Loma Linda can be enacted as summarized below:
• First Violation – Issuance of written notice of violation of water user. • Second Violation – A $100 surcharge is imposed on the water meter. • Third Violation – A $200 surcharge and/or installation of a flow restrictor on the water meter.
• Subsequent Violations – Discontinuance of service.
The director of public services may grant permits for uses of water otherwise prohibited under the provisions of this chapter if they find and determine that restrictions herein would either:
• Hardship. Cause an unnecessary and undue hardship to the water user or the public; or • Emergency. Cause an emergency condition affecting the health, sanitation, fire protection, or safety of the water use or of the public (Ord. 443 § 1, 1991).
City of Loma Linda
Water Shortage Contingency Plan 15
Such exceptions may be granted only upon written application. Upon granting such an exception permit, the director of public services may impose any conditions they determine to be just and proper. (Ord. 443 § 1, 1991)
Any customer or property owner against whom a penalty is levied pursuant to this chapter shall have a right to a hearing, in the first instance by the director of public services, with the right of appeal to the city council, on the merits of the alleged violation upon the written request of that customer within fifteen days of the date of alleged violation. At the next regularly scheduled meeting, the customer may then appear and present any evidence in support of his position and ask for a decision by the city council. (Ord. 443 § 1, 1991)
7.0 Legal Authority
Loma Linda’s Ordinance 443 (Municipal Code Title 13 in Chapter 13.04.940 to 13.04.1070), provided in Attachment 1, provides exceptions under certain circumstances, establishes enforcement provisions, defines the methods for declaring and terminating water conservation stages, and includes the form of notices and decisions of the City Council.
7.1 Declaration of Water Shortage
In accordance with CWC Section Division 1, Section 350, the City Council shall declare a water shortage emergency condition to prevail within the area served by such distributor whenever it finds and determines that the ordinary demands and requirements of water consumers cannot be satisfied without depleting the water supply of the distributor to the extent that there would be insufficient water for human consumption, sanitation, and fire protection.
7.2 Proclamation of Local Emergency
If a water shortage is approaching, Loma Linda shall coordinate with any of the cities and counties in its service area for the possible proclamation of a local emergency.
8.0 Financial Consequences of WSCP
Implementation
To ensure Loma Linda customers comply with Ordinance 443 and CWC Chapter 3.3 (Excessive Residential Water Use During Drought), additional costs may be incurred to monitor and enforce response actions. The incurred cost may vary depending on the shortage stage and duration of the water shortage emergency.
City of Loma Linda
Water Shortage Contingency Plan 16
If the various stages set forth in Loma Linda’s WSCP are initiated, revenues will be impacted by reduced water sales. In order to minimize the financial impact this would have on Loma Linda, the monthly fixed revenues (monthly meter charges) need to cover the majority of the fixed costs of Loma Linda's water system during such an event. The fixed costs are incurred by Loma Linda regardless of how much or when it delivers water to the customer. These costs generally include administration, personnel, billing, testing, maintenance, meter maintenance, pipeline and facility replacements. Expenditures during periods of drought may be impacted by additional staffing or advertising costs. Expenses such as capital improvements may be deferred during this reduction in sales when feasible.
To mitigate the financial impacts of a water shortage, Loma Linda maintains excess funds in the Water Enterprise Fund (Fund). This Fund is used for all operations associated with the running of the water system. Part of the Fund can be used to stabilize rates during periods of water shortage or disasters affecting the water supply.
Even with the additional monies in the Fund, rate increases may be necessary during a prolonged water shortage. Loma Linda may wish to increase the fixed monthly meter service charge to cover the shortfall in revenue resulting from the decrease in water sales during a water shortage. The additional revenue would help to cover any increased operating and water expenses that occur.
9.0 Monitoring and Reporting
During a water shortage, Loma Linda’s Director of Public Services will monitor the supply and demand for water on a daily basis to determine the shortage response actions required by the implementation or termination of a WSCP stage and will notify the City Council of the necessity for the implementation or termination of a stage if a change in shortage conditions occurs. Each declaration of the City Council implementing or terminating a water conservation stage shall be published at least once in a newspaper of general circulation and shall be posted at the City's offices.
In normal water supply conditions, production figures are recorded daily. Totals are recorded daily on a continuous computerized monitoring system to the Water Department Superintendent. Totals are reported monthly to the City Administrator and incorporated into the water supply report to the Utilities Commission.
During a Stage 2 and Stage 3 water shortage, daily production figures will be reported to the Water Department Supervisor. The Water Department Super intendent compares daily production to the target daily production to verify that the reduction goal is being met. Reports are forwarded to the City Administrator on an as-needed basis, continuously if appropriate.
Monthly reports are sent to the Utility Commission. If reduction goals are not met, the Administrator will notify the City Council so that additional action can be taken.
City of Loma Linda
Water Shortage Contingency Plan 17
During a disaster shortage, the City Administrator will report continuously to the City Council and inform the San Bernardino County Office of Emergency Services. Special Council meetings can be convened should authorization for special actions be needed.
10.0 WSCP Refinement Procedures
The WSCP is best prepared and implemented as an adaptive management plan. Loma Linda will use results obtained from their monitoring and reporting program to evaluate any needs for revisions. Potential changes to the WSCP that would warrant an update include, but are not limited to, any changes to trigger conditions, changes to the shortage stage structure, and/or changes to shortage response actions.
Any prospective changes to the WSCP would need to be presented to Loma Linda’s City Council for discretionary approval. Once discretionary approval has been granted, Loma Linda will hold a public hearing, obtain any comments, and adopt the updated WSCP. Notices for refinement and the public hearing date will be published in the local newspaper in advance of any public meetings.
11.0 Plan Adoption, Submittal, and
Availability
Loma Linda adopted this WSCP with the 2025 RUWMP. The 2025 RUWMP and WSCP were made available for public review in May 2026, and a public hearing was held on June 9, 2026, to receive public input on the draft 2025 RUWMP and the WSCP.
The Loma Linda City Council adopted the 2025 RUWMP and the WSCP at a public meeting on June 9, 2026. The resolution of adoption is included as Attachment 2.
This WSCP was submitted to DWR through the WUEData portal before the deadline of July 1, 2026.
This WSCP will be available to the public on the City of Loma Linda website.
If Loma Linda identifies the need to amend this WSCP, it will follow the same procedures for notification to cities, counties, and the public as used for the 2025 RUWMP and for initial adoption of the WSCP.

Title 13 WATER AND SEWERS
Chapter 13.32 WATER-EFFICIENT LANDSCAPE
13.32.010 Purpose.
A. The State Legislature has found that:
1. The limited supply of state waters are subject to ever increasing demands;
2. California’s economic prosperity depends on adequate supplies of water;
3. State Policy promotes conservation and efficient use of water;
4. Landscapes provide recreation areas, clean the air and water, prevent erosion, offer fire protection and replace ecosystems displaced by development; and
5. Landscape design, installation and maintenance can and should be water efficient.
B. Consistent with the legislative findings, the purpose of this chapter is to:
1. Promote the values and benefits of landscapes while recognizing the need to invest water and other resources as efficiently as possible;
2. Establish a structure for designing, installing and maintaining water-efficient landscapes in new projects; and
3. Establish provisions for water management practices and water waste prevention for established landscapes. (Ord. 488 § 1, 1992)
13.32.020 Definitions.
The words used in this chapter have the meaning set forth below:
“Anti-drain valve” or “check valve” means a value located under a sprinkler head to hold water in the system so it minimizes drainage from the lower elevation sprinkler heads. “Application rate” means the depth of water applied to a given area, usually measured in inches per hour. “Applied water” means the portion of water supplied by the irrigation system to the landscape. “As-builts” means a set of reproducible drawings which show significant changes in the work made during construction and which are usually based on drawings marked up in the field and other data furnished by the contractor.
“Automatic controller” means a mechanical or solid state timer, capable of operating valve stations to set the days and length of time of a water application. “Backflow prevention device” means a safety device used to prevent pollution or contamination of the water supply due to the reverse flow of water from the irrigation system. “Conversion factor (0.62)” means a number that converts the maximum applied water allowance from acre-inches per acre per year to gallons per square foot per year. The conversion factor is calculated as follows:
(325,829 gallons/43,560 square feet)/12 inches = (0.62) 325,829 gallons = one acre foot
43,560 square feet = one acre
12 inches = one foot
To convert gallons per year to 100-cubic-feet per year, another common billing unit for water, divide gallons per year by 748. (748 gallons = 100 cubic feet.) “Ecological restoration project” means a project where the site is intentionally altered to establish a defined, indigenous, historic ecosystem. “Effective precipitation” or “usable rainfall” means the portion of total precipitation that is used by the plants. Precipitation is not a reliable source of water, but can contribute to some degree toward the water needs of the landscape.
“Emitter” means drip irrigation fittings that deliver water slowly from the system to the soil. “Established landscape” means the point at which plants in the landscape have developed roots into the soil adjacent to the root ball. “Established period” means the first year after installing the plant in the landscape. “Estimated applied water use” means the portion of the estimated total water use is derived from applied water. The estimated applied water use shall not exceed the maximum applied water allowance. The estimated applied water use may be the sum of the water recommended through the irrigation schedule. “Estimated total water use” means the annual total amount of water estimated to be needed to keep the plants in the landscaped area healthy. It is based upon such factors as the local evapotranspiration rate, the size of the landscaped area, the types of plants and the efficiency of the irrigation system. “ET adjustment factor” means a factor of 0.8, that, when applied to reference evapotranspiration, adjusts for plant factors and irrigation efficiency, two major influences upon the amount of water that needs to be applied to the landscape.
A combined plant mix with a site-wide average of 0.5 is the basis of the plant factor portion of this calculation. The irrigation efficiency for purposes of the ET adjustment factor is
0.625, therefore, the ET adjustment factor (0.8) = (0.5/0.625). “Evapotranspiration” means the quantity of water evaporated from adjacent soil surfaces and transpired by plants during a specific time. “Flow rate” means the rate at which water flows through pipes and valves (gallons per minute or cubic feet per second). “Hydrozone” means a portion of the landscaped area having plants with similar water needs that are served by a valve or set or valves with the same schedule. A hydrozone may be irrigated or non-irrigated. For example, a naturalized area planted with native vegetation that will not need supplemental irrigation once established is a non-irrigated hydrozone. “Infiltration rate” means the rate of water entry into the soil expressed as a depth of water per unit of time (inches per hour). “Irrigation efficiency” means the measurement of the amount of water beneficially used divided by the amount of water applied. Irrigation efficiency is derived from measurements and estimates of irrigation system characteristics and management practices. The minimum irrigation efficiency for purposes of this chapter is 0.625. Greater irrigation efficiency can be expected from well designed and maintained systems.
“Landscape irrigation audit” means a process to perform site inspections, evaluate irrigation systems and develop efficient irrigation schedules. “Landscaped area” means the entire parcel less the building footprint, driveways, non-irrigated portions of parking lots, hardscapes — such as decks and patios and other non-porous areas. Water features are included in the calculation of the landscaped area. Areas dedicated to edible plants, such as orchards or vegetable gardens are not included. “Lateral line” means the water delivery pipeline that supplies water to the emitters or sprinklers from the valve. “Main line” means the pressurized pipeline that delivers water from the water source to the valve or outlet. “Maximum applied water allowance” means, for design purposes, the upper limit of annual applied water for the established landscaped area. It is based upon the area’s reference evapotranspiration, the ET adjustment factor, and the size of the landscaped area. The estimated applied water use shall not exceed the maximum applied water allowances. “Mined-land reclamation projects” means any surface mining operation with a reclamation plan approved in accordance with the Surface Mining and Reclamation Act of 1975. “Mulch” means any material such as leaves, bark, straw or other materials left loose and applied to the soil surface to reduce evaporation. “Operating pressure” means the pressure at which a system of sprinklers is designed to operate, usually indicated at the base of a sprinkler. “Overspray” means the water which is delivered beyond the landscaped area, wetting pavements, walks, structures or other non-landscaped areas. “Plant factor” means a factor that when multiplied by reference evapotranspiration, estimates the amount of water used by plants. For purposes of this chapter, the average plant factor or low water using plants ranges from 0 to 0.3, for average water using plants the range is 0.4 to 0.6, and for high water using plants the range is 0.7 to 1.0. “Rain sensing device” means a system which automatically shuts off the irrigation system when it rains. “Record drawing” or “as-builts” means a set of reproducible drawings which show significant changes in the work made during construction and which are usually based on drawings marked up in the field and other data furnished by the contractor. “Recreational area” means areas of active play or recreation such as sports fields, school yards, picnic grounds or other areas with intense foot traffic. “Recycled water,” “reclaimed water,” or “treated sewage effluent water” means treated or recycled waste water of a quality suitable for nonpotable uses such as landscape irrigation; not intended for human consumption.
“Reference evapotranspiration” or “ETo” means a standard measurement of environmental parameters which affect the water use of plants. ETo is given in inches per day, month, or year, and is an estimate of the evapotranspiration of a large field of four-inch to seven-inch tall, cool-season grass that is well watered. Reference evapotranspiration is used as the basis of determining the maximum applied water allowances so that regional differences in climate can be accommodated. “Rehabilitated landscape” means any re-landscaping project that requires a permit. “Run off” means water which is not absorbed by the soil or landscape to which it is applied and flows from the area. For example, run off may result from water that is applied at too great a rate (application rate exceeds infiltration rate) or when there is a severe slope. “Soil moisture sensing device” means a device that measures the amount of water in the soil. “Soil texture” means the classification of soil based on the percentage of sand, silt, and clay in the soil. “Sprinkler head” means a device which sprays water through a nozzle. “Static water pressure” means the pipeline or municipal water supply pressure when water is not flowing. “Station” means an area served by one valve or by a set of valves that operate simultaneously. “Turf” means a surface layer of earth containing mowed grass with its roots. Annual bluegrass, Kentucky bluegrass, perennial ryegrass, red fescue, and tall fescue are cool-season grasses.
Bermudagrass, kikuyugrass, seashore paspalum, St. Augustinegrass, zoysiagrass, and buffalo grass are warm-season grasses. “Usable rainfall” means the portion of total precipitation that is used by the plants. Precipitation is not a reliable source of water, but can contribute to some degree toward the water needs of the landscape.
“Valve” means a device used to control the flow of water in the irrigation system. “Water conservation concept statement” means a one-page checklist and a narrative summary of the project as shown in Exhibit “A” set out following this chapter. (Ord. 488 § 1, 1992)

1. Water Conservation Concept Statement. Each landscape documentation package shall include a cover sheet, referred to as the water conservation concept statement similar to the following example. It serves as a check list to verify that the elements of the landscape documentation package have been completed and has a narrative summary of the project.
2. The Maximum Applied Water Allowance.
a. A project’s maximum applied water allowance shall be calculated using the following formula:
MAWA = (ETo) (o.8) (LA) (o.62) where:
MAWA = Max. applied water allowance (gallons per year)
ETo = Reference evapotranspiration (inches per year)
0.8 = ET adjustment factor
LA = Landscaped area (square feet)
0.62 = Conversion factor (to gallons per square foot)
b. Two example calculations of the maximum applied water allowance i. Project Site One: Landscaped area of 50,000 sq. ft. in Fresno MAWA = (ETo) (.8) (LA) (.62)
= (51 inches) (.8) (50,000 square feet) (.62)
Maximum applied water allowance = 1,264,800 gallons per year (or 1,691 hundred-cubic-feet per year: 1,264,800/748 = 1,691) ii. Project Site Two: Landscaped area of 50,000 sq. ft. in San Francisco MAWA = (ETo) (.8) (LA) (.62)
= (35 inches) (.8) (50,000 square feet) (.62)
Maximum Applied Water Allowance = 868,000 gallons per year (or 1,160 hundred-cubic-feet per year) c. Portions of landscaped areas in public and private projects such as parks, playgrounds, sports fields, golf courses, or school yards where turf provides a playing surface or serves other recreational purposes may require water in addition to the maximum applied water allowance. A statement shall be included with the landscape design plan, designating areas to be used for such purposes and specifying any needed amount of additional water above the maximum applied water allowance.
3. Estimated Applied Water Use.
a. The estimated applied water use shall not exceed the maximum applied water allowance. b. A calculation of the estimated applied water use shall be submitted with the landscape documentation package. It may be calculated by summing the amount of water recommended in the irrigation schedule.
4. Estimated Total Water Use.
a. A calculation of the estimated total water use shall be submitted with the landscape documentation package. The estimated total water use may be calculated by summing the amount of water recommended in the irrigation schedule and adding any amount of water expected from effective precipitation (not to exceed twenty-five percent of the local annual mean precipitation) or may be calculated from a formula such as the following:
The estimated total water use for the entire landscaped area equals the sum of the estimated water use of all hydrozones in that landscaped area:
EWU (hydrozone) = (ETo) (PF) (HA) (.62)
(IE)
EWU (hydrozone) = Estimated water use (gallons per year) ETo = Reference evapotranspiration (inches per year)
PF = Plant factor
HA = Hydrozone area (square feet)
(.62) = Conversion factor
IE = Irrigation efficiency
b. If the estimated total water use is greater than the estimated applied water use due to precipitation being included as a source of water, an effective precipitation disclosure statement such as the one in the section entitled “Effective Precipitation” shall be included in the landscape documentation package.
5. Landscape Design Plan. A landscape design plan meeting the following requirements shall be submitted as part of the landscape documentation package:

RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Approve Amendment No. 9 to the Waste Disposal Agreement No. 98-745 with the County of San Bernardino; and
2. Authorize the City Manager or his designee to execute the agreement, subject to any revisions to the agreement deemed necessary by the City Attorney.
This Agreement shall become effective, shall be in full force and effect and shall be legally binding upon the City and the County from the contract date and shall continue in full force and effect until June 30, 2035, unless earlier terminated in accordance with its terms..
BACKGROUND:
The City of Loma Linda entered into a Waste Disposal Agreement (WDA) with the County of San Bernardino on August 25, 1998, establishing terms and conditions for solid waste disposal services within the County disposal system. The Agreement has been amended several times over the years to address changes in disposal rates, revenue sharing provisions, and agreement terms. The County has now proposed Amendment No. 9 for consideration and approval by all participating WDA cities.
ANALYSIS:
The proposed Amendment No. 9 to the Waste Disposal Agreement extends the current agreement term through June 30, 2035, and revises the contract rate methodology for participating WDA cities. Effective July 1, 2026, the WDA disposal rate will be established at $41.08 per ton, based on 83% of the County’s posted gate rate, replacing the previous annual adjustment calculation methodology. Future rate adjustments will continue to be tied directly to the county’s posted gate rate.
The amendment is intended to provide a streamlined and predictable rate structure for participating agencies while maintaining continued participation within the County’s waste disposal system and supporting long-term disposal planning.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
Funding for this service is provided in Account No. 0013600-51830. The revised WDA disposal rate of $41.08 per ton is a pass through fee effective July 1, 2026, Associated disposal costs will continue to be incorporated into annual solid waste service rates.

AMENDMENT NO. 9 WDA 98-745.pdf
AMENDMENT NO. 9 TO THE
WASTE DISPOSAL AGREEMENT NO. 98-745
On August 25, 1998, the City of Loma Linda (“City”) and the County of San Bernardino (“County”) entered into a Waste Disposal Agreement (“WDA”). The parties hereby amend the WDA, on the Effective Date as provided herein, by their respective execution of this agreement (hereinafter “Amendment’).
Recitals
A. The parties have previously entered into the following amendments to the WDA. Amendment No. 1 to the WDA was to implement the “Article 19 Solid Waste” component of the County’s waste management system and define the City’s share of that revenue. Amendment No. 2 was to increase the annual maximum limits of “Article 19 Solid Waste” in the County landfill system. Amendment No. 3 allowed the County to charge the fee of $10.00 per ton (prorated) for identified controllable waste of the City (e.g., roll off container trucks and other County/City vehicles such as pickups and dump trucks) and have such waste subject to being processed in the recycling program. Amendment No. 4 allowed the County to calculate the annual cost of living adjustment earlier in the calendar year. Amendment No. 5 extended the end date of the WDA to June 30, 2016. Amendment No. 6 extended the term of the WDA to June 30, 2021, applied an annual fixed WDA renewal discount adjustment of $0.82 per ton for the term of the WDA, and allowed the County to enter into agreements to accept in-County waste from non-WDA users of the Disposal System at a rate lower than the WDA Contract Rate in exchange for sharing the net revenue generated from those agreements. Amendment No. 7 reset the WDA Contract Rate and extended the term five (5) years to June 30, 2026. Amendment No. 8 capped the WDA Contract Rate in order to maintain a 15% buffer between the WDA Contract Rate and the County’s posted gate rate.
B. In connection with the ongoing administration of the WDA, the parties have determined it is now in their best interests to extend the term 9 years to June 30, 2035, adjust the WDA Contract Rate to be equal to 83% of the County’s posted gate rate, and eliminate the provision for annual adjustments.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the forgoing recitals and the following covenants and promises the Parties agree as follows:
1. Section 4.2, entitled “CONTRACT RATE” is hereby deleted and replaced in its entirety to read:
SECTION 4.2 CONTRACT RATE. Effective July 1, 2026, and each July 1 thereafter during the term of the Agreement, the Contract Rate shall be equal to 83% of the County’s posted gate rate effective that July 1st. For July 1, 2026, the County’s posted gate rate is $49.49 ($61.49 minus the $12 CDSDP fee); therefore, the WDA Rate, effective July 1, 2026, will be $41.08 per ton.
Please note that, due to timing, in future years where the gate rate is recommended to be increased, the WDA rate notification letter may be delayed until final approval of the gate rate by the Board of Supervisors.
2. Section 5.2, entitled “CITY CONVENIENCE TERMINATION” is hereby deleted and replaced in its entirety to read:
SECTION 5.2 CITY CONVENIENCE TERMINATION. In exchange for adjusting the WDA Contract Rate to be equal to 83% of the County’s posted gate rate, the City agrees to commit to remaining a WDA City, with no provision to terminate without cause, for the remainder of the WDA Term.
3. Section 6.1, entitled “EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERM”, paragraph (A) Term, is deleted and replaced in its entirety to read:
SECTION 6.1. EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERM. (A) Term. This Agreement shall become effective, shall be in full force and effect and shall be legally binding upon the City and the County from the Contract Date and shall continue in full force and effect until June 30, 2035, unless earlier terminated in accordance with its terms.

This Amendment shall be effective if and only when all fifteen cities/towns listed on Exhibit A have each adopted and executed a counterpart of this Amendment No. 9 (the amendment number may differ for each city/town listed on Exhibit A) and such amendment has been adopted and executed by the County on or before June 30, 2026. In all events, the conditions in the forgoing sentence shall occur otherwise this Amendment No. 9 shall be null and void and without any effect whatsoever.

The parties shall be entitled to sign and transmit an electronic signature of this Amendment (whether by facsimile, PDF or other email transmission), which signature shall be binding on the party whose name is contained therein. Each party providing an electronic signature agrees to promptly execute and deliver to the other party an original signed Amendment upon request.

Agency Joint Meeting Staff Report
F. Consider Approving Agreement Renewal of Managed Service Provider (MSP) Services with Synoptek for $207,465.72 for Fiscal Year 2026-2027 (Information Technology) [CC] Meeting
Tuesday, June 9, 2026, 7:00 PM
Agenda Group
Consent Calendar Item: 3F.
To
City Council
From
Kyle MacGavin, Information Systems Manager
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that City Council:
1. Approve the one year agreement renewal for managed service provider (MSP) services to Synoptek in the amount of $207,465.72, subject to any revisions to the agreement deemed necessary by the City Attorney; and
2. Authorize the City Manager or his designee to execute all necessary documents.
BACKGROUND:
Cyber-security is a main concern for Information Technology departments of every organization. With ever-growing and evolving digital threats, it is impossible for smaller organizations to stay on the edge of cyber-security without third party, MSP support. The City has been utilizing Synoptek for their Cyber-Security Operations Center (SOC) and Network Operations Center (NOC) for the last three years to stay ahead of threats. The City has benefited from this protection, and has decided it would be best to renew this service for an additional one year.
ANALYSIS:
When service with Syntoptek was originally implemented, the City utilized a service called PRISIM-Risk which competitively pre-negotiates pricing on services. Synoptek is no longer registered with PRISIM-Risk, but will continue to honor PRISIM-Risk's competitive pricing. The municipal code "Exemptions from competitive bidding" §
3.32.260 section A, "The commodity can be obtained from only one vendor or source;" and section D, "The commodity in question is a professional consulting service" will be exercised due to their sole hands-on understanding of The City's current IT infrastructure and consulting of The City's technology environment.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
N/A
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Funds have been budgeted in FY 2026-2027 and are allocated among departmental expenditure accounts citywide through account no. 51830 (Contractual Agreements).

Any interception, review, retransmission, dissemination, or other use of, or taking of any action upon this information by persons or entities other than the intended recipient is prohibited by law and may subject them to criminal or civil liability. 4 SCOPE OF SERVICES
Synoptek combines speed, agility, and simplicity to help organizations scale and manage their information technology infrastructure while reducing complexity and controlling costs. With access to experienced technology professionals, proven tools, and leading hardware and software solutions, Synoptek helps clients modernize and support their IT environments through a comprehensive service model.
Our managed services include 24x7 monitoring and management, supported cloud services, and backup and disaster recovery options delivered under service level agreements tailored to each client’s requirements.
Synoptek’s Managed IT Infrastructure Services provide comprehensive support for a fixed monthly fee. This model is designed to improve system performance and reliability while creating a more predictable, scalable, and cost-effective IT operating environment. Synoptek’s goal is to serve as a trusted advisor by delivering value, innovation, accountability, and integrity in every client engagement.
While Synoptek offers a broad range of services, not every capability may be applicable at this time. For additional information, many of these services are described in detail on our website at https://synoptek.com/synoptek-service-definitions/
Synoptek has reviewed the requirements for CITY OF LOMA LINDA and assembled a tailored set of services from our broader portfolio that we believe aligns with your goals and objectives. These services are outlined below.
IT Advisory Management, & Leadership
For Synoptek Managed Services clients, IT Advisory services are delivered through an assigned IT leader or virtual Client Technology Officer. This advisor serves as a senior technology partner who helps evolve the client’s IT environment and remains engaged throughout each phase of Synoptek’s Plan-Build-Run service delivery model. Because of their involvement across functional teams from the earliest stages of the engagement, the Client Advisor serves as a consistent point of leadership for strategic guidance, quality oversight, and issue resolution throughout the partnership. Synoptek’s IT Advisory services provide access to an experienced technology leader with a proven ability to align business needs with practical technology solutions. We begin by understanding your business objectives and then establish the processes, priorities, and governance needed to support both your technology environment and your users. IT Advisory Services are provided as a fixed number of hours per month based on the anticipated level of effort required to manage IT services and support expected business outcomes. Actual hours may vary depending on the scope of services provided, and additional hours are available upon request.
Legal Notice: The information transmitted in this document is intended only for the addressee and may contain confidential and/or privileged material. Any interception, review, retransmission, dissemination, or other use of, or taking of any action upon this information by persons or entities other than the intended recipient is prohibited by law and may subject them to criminal or civil liability. 5 Virtual Client Technology Officer
The virtual Client Technology Officer’s charter is to drive client satisfaction and business outcomes by providing strategic technology leadership, operational oversight, and aligned advisory services through the following responsibilities:
• Provide strategic IT leadership and management to help advance the client’s technology maturity and long-term capabilities
• Develop recommendations for a multi-year IT strategy and technology roadmap aligned to business objectives
• Serve as the client advocate across Synoptek teams to help ensure alignment, accountability, and service quality
• Lead periodic business and IT review meetings to assess performance, priorities, and upcoming initiatives
• Oversee service levels and risk management to support operational stability and informed decision-making
• Provide application, data, and business intelligence recommendations to support efficiency and business insight
Virtual Client Information Security Officer
In addition to the Client Advisor, the virtual Client Information Security Officer (vCISO) is focused on strengthening security governance, policies, and overall security posture to help protect the customer’s brand, operations, and critical data. In today’s threat landscape, compliance obligations and cybersecurity risks often exceed an organization’s internal capacity to address them comprehensively. The vCISO role provides strategic guidance, risk-based recommendations, and practical next steps to help the client reduce risk and improve resilience. With Synoptek’s virtual Client Information Security Officer services, you gain access to a security leader with proven experience in identifying, communicating, and mitigating risks while helping address your organization’s ongoing security concerns. The virtual Client Information Security Officer’s charter includes:
• Develop and guide the overall security and risk management strategy, including alignment with applicable industry and compliance requirements
• Provide security advisory services and recommendations to evolve the client’s security posture through a multi-year security roadmap
• Assess the current security state, including policies and procedures, prior risk assessments, penetration testing results, vulnerability scanning results, and organizational best practices • Compare the current-state assessment to the Security Health Check findings, identify gaps, and document a prioritized roadmap and scope of work for remediation vCISO hours are provided as a fixed number of hours per month based on the anticipated effort required to support the IT security program and manage business risk. Actual time requirements may vary depending on the scope of services provided. In many cases, the vCISO may recommend additional improvements, including managed services or separately scoped projects, to further strengthen the security program. The hours included in this proposal are intended to support ongoing risk management, security program oversight, and Legal Notice: The information transmitted in this document is intended only for the addressee and may contain confidential and/or privileged material. Any interception, review, retransmission, dissemination, or other use of, or taking of any action upon this information by persons or entities other than the intended recipient is prohibited by law and may subject them to criminal or civil liability. 6 strategic advisory services. Additional hours are available upon request for remediation planning, incident response support, or project-related efforts needed to address identified risks and root causes. 24/7 Workforce Productivity
To deliver responsive end-user support for CITY OF LOMA LINDA, Synoptek is including our ITaaS User service, which provides a fully functioning support desk with the knowledge, tools, and skill sets needed to support users in a timely and effective manner. The following services are included in this capability:
• 24x7x365 remote support help desk
• Desktop and laptop support, including full support for Microsoft applications and operating systems
• Basic support for non-Microsoft applications and operating systems • Vendor escalation and management, as needed
• Secure remote access support
• Onsite reactive support, as required
• Anti-spam, anti-virus, anti-malware, and anti-evasion protection • Workstation patch management
Applications Support & Vendor Management
Every organization operates differently, and the applications required to support users and business processes vary accordingly. Synoptek recognizes that application environments are unique and provides best-effort support for business applications and end-user requests within the scope of managed services. In some situations, vendor escalation may be necessary to resolve issues that fall outside the capabilities or scope of a Level 1 or Level 2 service engineer. To support these needs, Synoptek has outlined the services and support capabilities below to clarify how we will meet CITY OF LOMA LINDA’s requirements, including vendor escalation and management where appropriate. • First-, second-, and third-level support for Windows, Azure, Office, Office 365, Exchange, Active Directory, internet browsers, backup, replication, and network infrastructure • Support for routine service requests and configuration changes, including user setup, moves, adds, changes, and decommissions for listed applications and vendors Third Party Systems and Services (Vendor Management):
• Certain hardware, software, and other services may be provided by third parties. Synoptek will serve as a central point of contact for IT-related issues; however, some issues will require support from third-party providers. In those cases, Synoptek will provide vendor escalation and coordination services and work with the appropriate vendor to help drive resolution. This approach requires CITY OF LOMA LINDA to maintain active third-party support and maintenance agreements for critical applications. Specific partners, such as Salesforce and Rootstock, will be documented during transition.

Any interception, review, retransmission, dissemination, or other use of, or taking of any action upon this information by persons or entities other than the intended recipient is prohibited by law and may subject them to criminal or civil liability. 7 24x7x365 Core Infrastructure Management
In addition to monitoring and managing production infrastructure, Synoptek recognizes that the local infrastructure and network services supporting CITY OF LOMA LINDA are critical to maintaining performance, availability, and business continuity. To support this environment, Synoptek has included services to monitor, manage, and support the core infrastructure identified below. • Customer Site in the City of Loma Linda
• 24x7 infrastructure management, monitoring & support
• Server backups
• Device Networking, Systems, and Circuits
• Third party/ vendor management & escalation
Increased Managed Security
The threat landscape continues to expand across industries, and Synoptek recognizes that organizations need both protection and practical guidance to reduce cyber risk. Synoptek’s cybersecurity team continues to enhance its tools, capabilities, and client education to help protect systems, users, and business operations. While the services listed below do not represent our full security portfolio, they reflect key components of a strong security posture and a practical protection strategy.
• End-point security management of Anti-Spam, Anti-Virus, Anti-Malware, & Anti-Evasion • Firewall security management
• Server & Workstations Patch Management
• Website URL Filtering & Security
Vulnerability Management Services
As software and hardware environments continue to grow in complexity, vulnerabilities are often introduced unintentionally through upgrades, updates, and configuration changes. Synoptek’s Vulnerability Management Service is designed to identify new and existing vulnerabilities across your technology environment and help reduce exposure before those weaknesses can be exploited. This service applies a multi-layered approach: first, Synoptek uses established tools and methodologies to identify vulnerabilities within your network; second, we analyze the results and provide risk-based recommendations; and finally, we advise on remediation and perform follow-up scans, as needed, to help confirm that corrective actions have been applied and that the overall threat surface continues to decrease.

Synoptek’s Managed SOC Services are designed to strengthen security monitoring, detection, and response across the client environment. When paired with SIEM, these services provide a 24x7 managed detection and response capability for security events. Our SOC services include cloud SIEM support, security event detection, alert investigation and response, daily security review, and monthly threat intelligence reporting. • 24x7x365 Detection of Security Events
• Daily Cyber Security review

Synoptek has deep experience providing managed IT support services for organizations that seek high service levels, strong customer service, and an excellent end-user experience. We understand that pricing must remain flexible and scalable as the organization evolves. To support that objective, Synoptek proposes a pricing methodology that simplifies cost calculation and provides complete IT support for the services included in the pricing table below.
The Term of this Service Order shall be 12 months. The Term shall automatically renew in accordance with the terms set forth in the Master Services Agreement between the parties. • Monthly Recurring Charges (MRC) will be invoiced as services are made available to the Customer or as a continuation of the prior service order contract renewal. • Non-recurring charges will be invoiced upon execution of this Service Order by both parties. • In no event will the then-current Monthly Recurring Charges (MRC) be reduced by more than twenty percent (20%) during the Term of this Service Order as a result of any reduction in the scope of Services.
• Any updates to the quantities of users or devices will be reflected in the quantities invoiced to CITY OF LOMA LINDA. Service changes will be processed through the appropriate Change Order management process agreed upon between the parties.
• Synoptek may identify a critical risk or issue regarding Customer IT systems. In such cases, Synoptek may make recommendations to resolve an issue or mitigate a risk. If the Customer does not accept or acknowledge the recommendation, Synoptek may issue a Change Order to document the risk or issue and amend the service scope. Such a Change Order will not change the price without agreement but may limit Synoptek’s obligations if the risk materializes and causes impact.
General Assumptions
Synoptek’s estimated fees and service level commitments are fundamentally tied to certain estimating assumptions that can be made and the establishment and management of standard processes and procedures for managing IT operations. Extraordinary situations or changes in conditions that may require higher support levels to achieve service levels will be identified and documented. Synoptek assumes the following:
• This proposal is based on the conversations and documentation shared between the parties. • Synoptek will require administrative access permissions on all supported equipment. • Synoptek will host a knowledge base and provide a ticketing system for IT operations. • Each user support cost includes licensing for antivirus, anti-malware, anti-evasion, spam filtering, email encryption, remote monitoring, and management.
• Customer is assumed to have industry-average ticket volume, which is a key component in calculating the labor required to support the environment. If a significant change in volume is realized, the Customer and Synoptek leadership teams will agree on a mutually corrective course of action. This proposal assumes no more than one end-user-generated ticket per user per month, calculated quarterly. Synoptek expects to review ticket volume with the Customer monthly. Material changes in ticket volume will result in a joint review of the capacity plan.
Legal Notice: The information transmitted in this document is intended only for the addressee and may contain confidential and/or privileged material. Any interception, review, retransmission, dissemination, or other use of, or taking of any action upon this information by persons or entities other than the intended recipient is prohibited by law and may subject them to criminal or civil liability. 10 • As part of the IT Leadership and Governance effort, Synoptek has allocated a certain amount of effort each month to support quarterly business and technology reviews. These reviews are part of the ongoing management service and should include executive management to drive accountability and strategic direction.
• Synoptek’s managed security services do not include audit or control attestation. The Customer retains responsibility for its own compliance obligations and for acting on guidance provided through Synoptek Security Services and applicable third parties. • Synoptek may propose separately billable projects as identified and prioritized through the IT roadmap developed in partnership with the Customer. Projects requiring a higher level of effort or specialized skills will need to be scoped and priced separately. Examples include server replacements, migrations and/or upgrades, large-scale enterprise system development, complex systems integration, or complete rewrites or re-architecture of existing business systems or applications. Changes requiring more than two hours of labor may be considered a project. • Software licensing, circuit and telecommunications costs, hardware and software support, and other third-party costs not explicitly included in the proposed pricing are excluded, except for antivirus, URL filtering, anti-evasion, anti-malware software, and security testing and training, which will be included if Synoptek’s recommended vendor solutions are implemented. • Synoptek assumes that the Customer has the necessary third-party support contracts in place for all critical hardware, software, and services. The Customer will maintain all current third-party support contracts for hardware and application support unless mutually agreed otherwise.

RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council accept the 1.6 Million Gallon Reservoir as substantially complete and authorize the City Clerk to file the Notice of Completion.
BACKGROUND:
On March 14, 2023, the City Council awarded the construction contract to Borden Excavating, Inc., of Calimesa, California, in the amount of $5,671,477.00, with an approved construction contingency of $567,000.00.
The contractor successfully completed the project in a professional manner and in accordance with the approved scope of work. During construction, unforeseen field conditions required additional work beyond the original contract amount. In addition, extended lead times associated with the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system and electrical components impacted the project schedule. Although these unforeseen conditions resulted in costs exceeding the original contract amount, the additional work was accommodated within the Council-approved contingency, resulting in a final construction cost of $5,745,302.41.
The attached Notice of Completion has been prepared for City Council review and approval. Upon authorization, the City Clerk will proceed with its recordation. The contractor's one-year warranty period will commence on the date of recordation.
ANALYSIS:
N/A
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
N/A
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The project was anticipated to be completed during Fiscal Year 2024-25 and, therefore, was not budgeted in Fiscal Year 2025-26. On August 12, 2025, the City Council approved a Supplemental Appropriation in the amount of $802,200, into the Water Acquisition Account No. 4387200-58500, to provide funding necessary for the completion of the project.

RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council accept the Storm Drain Installation at Citrus Street from California Street to Avalon Way (CIP 25-414) as substantially complete and authorize the City Clerk to file the Notice of Completion.
BACKGROUND:
On March 10, 2025, the City Council awarded a construction contract to Voltaire Engineering, Inc., of Redlands, CA, in the amount of $231,588.00, with an approved contingency of $23,000. The final project cost is $276,494.46, exceeding the original contract and contingency amount by $21,906.46. The overage is primarily attributed to unforeseen field conditions encountered during construction.
Attached is the Notice of Completion for the project. Upon City Council authorization, the City Clerk will record the Notice of Completion. The contractor’s one-year warranty period will begin on the date the Notice is recorded.
ANALYSIS:
N/A
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
N/A
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The final project cost exceeded the approved contract amount, including contingency, by $21,906.46. However, a supplemental appropriation is not required. The project was originally budgeted in account 3095350-58500, based on the Engineer's Estimate, and the bid received was substantially lower than that estimate. As a result, sufficient funds remain within the existing project appropriation to cover the additional costs.

RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council accept the replacement of the Community Room Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) unit as complete and authorize the filing of the Notice of Completion.
BACKGROUND:
The HVAC unit serving the City Community Room had reached the end of its serviceable life and was experiencing ongoing operational issues. The unit was original to the building and had significantly exceeded its expected useful life, making replacement the most practical and cost-effective solution to ensure the continued operation and availability of the facility for public use.
On March 10, 2026, the City Council approved a supplemental appropriation of $95,000 into Account No. 0013400- 51310 to address various Civic Center maintenance needs. Subsequently, a budget transfer was completed to move the cost associated with the HVAC replacement into Account No. 0013400-58220, Facilities – Capital Outlay, to properly reflect the nature of the expenditure.
The HVAC replacement has been completed in a satisfactory and professional manner at a total cost of $52,386.98.
The attached Notice of Completion has been prepared for City Council review. Upon authorization, the City Clerk will proceed with recordation. The contractor's one-year warranty period will commence on the date of recordation.

RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Council Bill #0-2026-06, waive the reading of the ordinance in its entirety, direct the City Clerk to read by title only, and approve the wastewater collection rate increase effective July 9, 2026. Ordinance Title:
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LOMA LINDA, CALIFORNIA, ESTABLISHING WASTEWATER COLLECTION RATES EFFECTIVE JULY 9, 2026, AND REPEALING ORDINANCE NO. 769 BACKGROUND:
On May 26, 2026, the City Council introduced Council Bill #O-2026-06 on first reading and set the second reading to June 9, 2026, for adoption. The proposed rate increase is based on a rate study prepared by the City of San Bernardino to cover the costs projected for the next five years.
