normal bird nesting season (usually February 1 – August 31) to avoid impacts to nesting birds which would potentially violate the federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act. It should be noted that bird nesting season is increasingly less -definitive for some year -round resident species such as hummingbirds and raptors. Further, ground - dwelling birds such as burrowing owls, can be affected nearly any time of the year if present. It is therefore advisable to conduct a preconstruction bird survey no matter the time of year.

e. Removal of vegetation necessitates installation of appropriate Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan “SWPPP” measures, particularly if development subsequent to grading is not undertaken immediately, therefore careful timing of the project schedule and imp lementation measures is necessary to avoid water quality impacts.

All basins must have positive drainage; dead storage basins shall not be acceptableA complete drainage study including, but not limited to, hydrologic and hydraulic calculations for the proposed detention basin shall be submitted to the City for review and approval. For design purposes, the proposed detention basin shall be sized using the 6 -hour/100-year frequency storm event. Detention basin(s) and outlet(s) sizing will ensure that this storm event does not produce higher peak discharge in the "after" condition than in the "before" condition. For the 100 -year event, an AMC II shall be used together with a constant loss rate.

Low Loss rates will be determined using the following:

a. Undeveloped Condition --> LOW LOSS = 90%
b. Developed Condition --> LOW LOSS = .9 - (.8x%IMPERVIOUS) c. Basin Site --> LOW LOSS = 10%

Where possible and feasible the onsite flows should be mitigated before combining with offsite flows to minimize the size of the detention facility required. If it is necessary to combine offsite and onsite flows into a detention facility two separate conditions should be evaluated for each duration/return period/before-after development combination studied; the first for the total tributary area (offsite plus onsite), and the second for the area to be developed alone (onsite). It must be clearly demonstrated that there is no increase in peak flow rates under either condition (total tributary area or onsite alone), for each of the return period/duration combinations required to be evaluated. A single plot showing the pre-developed, Item Title: 11.1

Any facilities proposed to be owned by the District, should be provided with a viable maintenance mechanism acceptable to the City and the District. For the City this would be the citywide CFD.

Facilities to remain private shall be maintained by other private entities approved by the City or by homeowners associations.
• Nearly all flows from the development will discharge into the RCFC&WCD MDP Line A-3 Storm Drain which will be extended, by the District, to Malone Avenue, from the west in Varela Lane. This MDP storm drain will also extend northerly in Malone Avenue to Watson Road and then easterly to its terminus in Watson Road. It is believed that this MPD storm drain is designed to convey the developed flows from most of TTM 38133 development. Upon written confirmation from RCFC&WCD that this is accurate an d the District confirms acceptance of the increased developed flows, no peak flow mitigation for this area shall be required for discharge into this MDP storm drain and shall supersede the above condition requirements. Peak flow mitigation for the increase in flows caused by conveyance of the southernmost portion of the development, consisting of appropriately 5 acres, into Line A-3 will be required.

This mitigation, along with water quality mitigation for the entire development, shall be provided within the onsite basin. In the instance of MDP Line A-3 not being designed to convey the developed flows from this developmet, the project shall be responsible for peak flow mitigation for this area, as detailed in the condition above.

Response to Notice of Public Hearing RE: Project Title “Menifee North Specific Plan Amendment No. 5, Tentative Tract Map NO. 38132 and Tentative Tract Map No. 38133- Addenum to the Menifee North Specific Plan Environmental Impact Report (EIR) (State Clearinghouse Number #1989100207

Dear City of Menifee, Planning Commission, Community Development Department and Developers,
I would like to enter my comments for this project which is the proposal of homes to be built in the agricultural fields surrounding my home, and the immediate surrounding blocks which occur along the roads that I drive daily and our part of our neighborhood. This area is historically agricultural and is one of the few preserved communities in the inland empire that represent the rich agricultural history of the area. I chose this area as my home ten years ago specifically because of the agricultural roots. In fact, we moved directly next to Heritage High School, which has the one of the largest and most beautiful Future Farmers of America (FFA) agricultural facilities in the state of California. As a former FFA student this was exciting. It saddens me that the City is not showing that they value what their constituents and residents do, but instead that the city wishes to fill every open green space with as many houses, people, gas stations, and car washes as it can without considering the immediate consequences, and negative impact on quality of life of existing residents. It is my opinion that to fill this area with anything less than similar houses on similar size lots directly impacts my community in a negative manner. It is to openly attack our agricultural lifestyle, and seal our fate; that the city means to push us out slowly but surely, eliminating all agricultural areas where livestock and farming are a proud way of life, eroding our rights to farm. The city is making moves that will lead to no more horses, no more chickens, no more sheep, no more pigs, no more goats, no more gardens, no more orchards, no more green spaces, and impermeable boiling hot asphalt and concrete everywhere. I believe the city will move these new people in, then curb our rights as property owners to cater to your new residents. It is not the purpose of a city council or planning department to be self-serving to generate taxes or more money specially ear-tagged for insidious projects like an obscenely expensive and useless amphitheater. You serve the CURRENT residents of Menifee, and WE don’t want more houses or more people in OUR city.

Menifee has the opportunity to make meaningful decisions about the growth of our city, carefully shaping our identity without hacking off our arm to spite our face. The agricultural communities within the city (including those along Scott, near Garbani, and near Murrieta and Goetz roads) are a part of our heritage, our foundation, and we should not wipe them out callously to place cookie-cutter houses that look like every other new city in California. Menifee should strive to keep our unique diverse collection of neighborhoods. We should only embrace and encourage growth in our agricultural areas that invites like-minded people to join these already thriving communities. The houses now being built in multiple areas of town are unsightly and lacking character, but at least they were in town and not next door! I absolutely believe there is space for everyone in Menifee, but these proposed tracts are not the place for sad Item Title: 11.1

average residential lots as small as 3,700 square feet (sq.ft.). One of these tract proposals asks for a decrease in square footage from 7,200 to 4,300 sq. ft. This is abysmal. We should not be condoning the building of square boxes with no yards, with two feet between from roof to roof.

People belong outdoors, and it is proven that increases our quality of life. The new houses are so obnoxiously close together that one could jump from rooftop to rooftop safely without fear of falling; who decided this is what neighborhoods should look like?! The proposed lot sizes are postage stamps compared to the average .87 and 1.08 acre properties in the area. Some lots in our area encompass several acres each. I have grave concerns about any new housing being built that does not fit in with the existing community, and question what motivation the city has for this poor decision making that snubs current residents.

Our community, in what used to be rural Romoland, is a quiet one focused on enjoying the simple pleasures of life. We do not conform to the fast-paced life of town. We mind our business, tend our gardens, and tend our animals. We highly value our privacy. With houses on roughly an acre each, we are set far apart and able to achieve privacy that adds value and quality to our lives. If the city allows a developer to put the average string of ugly two story houses (which can be seen throughout Menifee currently being built along the 215), and butts them up to our neighborhood, those houses would peer down directly into our backyards. Our privacy will be gone, and additionally the new houses will block our own lovely views of the surrounding area- which is the reason some purchased homes here. Worse, you aim to invite a bunch of people who do not share the values of the existing community and will inevitably, and incessantly, complain about the animals and associated smells and sounds they chose to move next to.

Driving past my neighbor’s cattle, sheep, horses, and goats fills me with a sense of peace and unabated admiration. I delight in the sound of crowing roosters, smells of manure, and the rustic charm of our dirt roads. Talk to many of my neighbors and they feel the same. We love it here, it’s why we live here! When I chose to move here I felt this area uniquely fit into my ability to have a slower more simple life. These values and qualities of my community are shared by many others who are looking for a place in California to live, and I argue it is THESE qualities that should be at the forefront of your mind if you feel you absolutely MUST build residences in this area. I wanted to have my own chickens, grow my own food, and have a self-sufficient lifestyle while being conveniently removed just enough from town to avoid its drawbacks (drawbacks of town include: overly crowded spaces, poorly/dangerously designed roads and intersections, and high traffic volumes). I do not want to live in town, and I implore you to please not take this beautiful and unique agricultural corner of Menifee and make it look like the rest of the mess you have made in the name of growth. Not ALL growth is positive. Similar to how cancer metastasizes, so does it seem the amount of gas stations, car washes, and disgusting unhealthy fast food chains seep into every available space throughout Menifee. Our small family owned Chinese restaurant is gone and being replaced with a gas station off Palomar and the 74; for the love of Menifee, WHY?! Driving through our crowded and poorly planned city, with its redundant gas stations, and a fast food place on every corner I have to seriously question your idea of progress. All I see is uninspired and thoughtless greed. The modern half a million dollar Item Title: 11.1

neighborhoods you are so proud of, do not hold a candle to mine. I would NEVER want to live in Audie Murphy, Heritage Lakes, or neighborhoods like these. I chose my neighborhood because it fit my family and I, and poor planning decisions like allowing these small lot residential homes to be built on top of us will destroy it. Menifee is a place of diversity, and having neighborhoods and communities that reflect that diversity of culture and lifestyle is crucial. You are not considering current residents in your plans. Ask yourselves, should you aim to invite new residents at the risk of chasing out long-settled existing residents? Is this truly progress? Who does this help? Do you care if we are all forced to sell because we can’t use our properties for their intended purpose, or is that the real goal? How does this serve the city as a whole? Menifee needs to reign in this idea that we need to expand, and listen to the multiple criticisms and complaints it receives from residents. This accelerated growth is destroying the quality of life that attracted people here. There are too many people on the roads as it is, and I will tell you what- not a single one of the drivers in Menifee appears to know which right hand turn lane to be in when turning right (Eastbound) onto Newport from Haun- it’s nearly a car accident every time and not worth shopping in Menifee at all.

My community does not wish to have a soulless cookie-cutter neighborhood built on top of ours with the intent to push us out, either directly or by slowly chipping away at our property rights through frivolous and uneducated zoning changes. It is clear to me in 10 years of living here that zoning laws are not written by people with any type of understanding or education of agriculture or livestock. Those fancy, supposedly modern, neighborhoods are for a different type of person than I, and there is nothing wrong with that- but don’t bring those people here to complain about noisy or stinky livestock. The next step will surely be the further erosion of our rights to use our properties for the intent we purchased them for: AGRICULTURAL USE. My grandmother lives in the Heritage Lakes gated community, and she did back when there was still a dairy next door and they were still the only housing community in the area. Have you been here long enough to remember the smell of the dairy? You built homes next to cows, and then new residents complained of the smell. You are bringing in people who do not have any fondness, love, or understanding of agriculture. You want to put these city minded people next to an established agricultural community who value our rights as property owners to use our properties to grow crops or raise livestock. We appreciate our lives as they are, and would appreciate the city making an effort to protect our rights to use our properties for agricultural purposes as originally designed. We love our homesteads, our farm operations, and our freedom to have them. We purchased in this area for a reason, and faithfully pay our taxes on our homes. This residential plan put forth to build large houses on tiny bits of land directly threatens our way of life. If you build a community so vastly different from the one that currently exists, there will be friction between new and old residents and you will undoubtedly create problems. New residents will be unlikely to share or respect our values or love of animals. I admire my neighbor’s gardens and their livestock, but the sight of houses stacked one on top of the other within spitting distance of neighbors, with a postage stamp for a yard, inspires in me a totally different and unrelated feeling- one of sadness and disgust.

I implore the city of Menifee to cancel this project in its entirety and re-evaluate the need for a special community in Menifee where our unique agricultural roots are heralded as something to celebrate and build on. Menifee has a duty to serve its current residents, and put our needs above the profit of a new development and people who will not be interested in truly integrating into our existing community, but will ensure its demise. Norco California didn’t become famous as horse country by accident. The people who loved horses found their way there and built an amazing community which is both well-known, AND envied far and wide. Menifee should preserve the integrity of this agricultural area and expand on it. More than ever people across the United States are realizing that homesteading, gardening, and raising animals is both therapeutic, and a way to provide healthy food for their families. We should only allow development of homes that will encourage like-minded people to join our community. We should not settle for just any growth, when we can have purposeful, well-planned, well-received growth. Since I have lived here in the past 10 years our zoning has changed to limit our livestock numbers. We were A-1-1, then Rural Residential, and I wonder what we will be and how you will change our zoning and regulate us once you have pretty new houses next door? The city clearly does not respect our right to own property and use it as it was intended or as we see fit. I vehemently oppose any new residential construction that would further encourage the city to erode our rights as property owners, and/or lead to zoning changes that place further restrictions on what livestock we can and cannot have, in what numbers, or how we use our properties in any way, shape, or form.

As a gardener I have taken steps to improve the top soil on my property through substantial research and carefully thought out implementation. I have made significant strides to this effect by mulching, planting plants, and letting “weeds” grow. On my property, the water is absorbed into the ground, improving the soil, cooling the ground, supporting plant life, etc. I have achieved a vibrant and flourishing ecosystem that supports my animals, my collection of fruit trees (which are more likely to be raided and pillaged with the introduction of increased traffic), and native species of plants and wildlife. I chose not to move to a neighborhood with a Home Owners Association (HOA). If this residential neighborhood is built, will the City now act as our HOA, to enforce my farm community to align to residential rules designed for the average neighborhood, not an agricultural one? The city nor it’s code enforcement officers understand the need to let weeds grow to support not only the natural environment through Winter, and biodiversity in our ecosystems, but they are crucial in prevention of flooding and erosion of our properties and roads. This section of Menifee experiences flooding that is not maintained AT ALL by the city. These open fields, referred to as tracts in your plan, currently absorb extraordinary amounts of water reducing our flooding.

The flooding concerns are a serious issue in our area each Winter and Spring. The condition of our streets anywhere on this side of Menifee are atrocious. All surrounding roads are riddled with cracks and potholes due to ill maintained roads and a lack of infrastructure to address flooding.

The potholes are haphazardly filled once a year and immediately return to their pitiful state soon after. Daily I see drivers swerve onto the wrong side of two lane roads, even crossing double yellows, to avoid damage to their cars. My own road, and a few others North and South of Item Title: 11.1

Watson Road are still dirt. In the 10 years I have lived at my address the city has had someone maintain our dirt road exactly ONCE, and quite recently in fact as it was only in the last year. I believe this was done to survey the road and that it was likely for this project, and not for the benefit of residents. I would also like to add that the City should do more research on how to maintain dirt roads, because they made the road worse. Scraping over the hard packed dirt and leaving fluffy dirt to wash or blow away is pointless and directly caused more erosion. The workers also exposed a sewer pipeline in the middle of the road and left it like that. Each rain exposes it more, creating a hazard for my neighbors. Will this residential project include updates to our dirt roads? Or, are we to sustain more damage due to more drivers on our road because of this project, and the city will just continue to neglect its responsibility to maintain it? Our area of Menifee floods so fervently that our streets literally wash away, leaving craters and ravines.

What will happen to the water absorbed by these fields once they are paved over to make houses, when the water can no longer absorb into the open ground? How much additional rainfall will be on the streets and roads due to the vast acreage being paved over? I have had a Menifee police officer refuse to drive his cruiser out here. We do not have the infrastructure in this area for flood water, it is evident everywhere. By paving over the fields and making this area mostly a concrete jungle, you will increase the amount of water that pours down the street- all the way to Menifee Road- increasing the damage to roads in the vicinity, and dangers to residents who cannot, and should not, cross flooded roads.

Still, with these aforementioned issues the city has yet more to consider and account for with wanting to bring new residents to this area. I can say from experience as a parent of three children that the schools here are exceedingly bad. All of the schools in this area are already underperforming and overcrowded. This decreases quality of education for every student across the board, causing harm to existing students. It is important for the city to note that though we may have some larger properties here, the students who live in this area and attend these schools are comprised of many low income and English-Language- Learner students. Harvest Valley Elementary School has recently finished adding several trailer classrooms (built and installed over the past year) just to make room for the current load of students it has. And before you consider making an argument that tax revenue generated will help alleviate this, once you put a neighborhood in the location next to Harvest Valley Elementary you have consumed the only available land that would have let them expand to accommodate more students; a catch 22. Ethan A. Chase Middle School and Heritage High School are well known for violence and the poor quality education they bestow on students. The lack of administrative control and violence at these schools is absurd, and adding more students will only increase the woes they currently experience. Heritage High School is so overpopulated that in the beginning of one school year in recent memory, students did not actually have assigned classes or officially “start” their school year for a period of several weeks. High School Students went to school and sat in random classrooms while waiting weeks past the first day of school for their schedules to be worked out.

The City of Menifee is deluded that two new neighborhoods and the increased volume of residents they would bring in our area would not directly and negatively impact current residents.

Those who will suffer most because of this poor planning and decision making will be the most vulnerable amongst us, those who we have the utmost responsibility to protect: our children.

Does Menifee want to be known for quality schools? Or packing kids into bad schools like sardines regardless of the consequences to their education? Harvest Valley Elementary, Ethan A. Chase Middle School, and Heritage High School have terrible grades, and these local schools were not designed or planned to accommodate the current number of students and correlated parent traffic, let alone more students and their correlated traffic. Overpopulation of schools impacts a quality education and traffic patterns, and both these factors increase the negatives endured by our residents. If the proposed neighborhood is built next to Harvest Valley, Menifee & Briggs Roads will be totally impassable mornings and afternoons (It certainly is already impassable in my opinion!). Menifee Road is mandatory to use to exit our neighborhood, because you certainly can’t make it all the way down the dirt road most years- or at least you wouldn’t want to put your car through that. In addition, it is very likely both new residents and commuters alike will use our street as a short cut to go around Watson traffic. This increases through traffic in residential areas endangering children at play. If you were to proceed with these proposed tracts, I would almost prefer Malone be closed on our end with a large brick wall to avoid any potential increased traffic and associated dangers for residents in my neighborhood. Any extra residents and their students translate to more wear on all of our roads, and in my opinion reduces privacy and safety for everyone in the area. Certainly, the newer 4-way stop at Menifee and Watson will not suffice because the additional neighborhood you hope to build along Palomar will bring even more residents coming from that direction to Harvest Valley and Heritage High. After a death at this intersection, your flashing stop signs have barely made a dent in safety at this location and rolling stops are still the norm.

There is not enough room for a traffic light at Menifee/Watson, which is only one lane in each direction, and commuters in every direction will be affected. Everyone’s transit times will increase considerably.

Foot traffic is another concern. Hundreds, maybe thousands, of high school students pour across Highway 74 on Briggs Road before and after school. Many high school students cross to be picked up or walk home, while many more stop at the Marion V. Ashley Community Center directly next to Harvest Valley. Parents line Briggs Road on both sides of the two lane highway to pick up students: parking illegally, making their own lanes, making dangerous maneuvers, nearly running down kids. This section of highway 74, beginning from Heritage High and continuing to the 215 freeway, is dangerous and is well known for pedestrian fatalities. The school traffic from Harvest Valley and Heritage Lakes compound on Briggs road with a school in both directions maybe a quarter mile apart, making it impassable for residents. Thousands of children and parents move through here within a short span of time. Cars weave in and out of walking teenagers who will not yield the ‘right of way’ if their lives depended on it. The kids do not respect the cars, and the cars seem to not care for the safety of the kids. Impatient children and drivers are inevitable. The more children and traffic you add, the more likely we are to have a fatality involving a child trying to get home from school. You are creating a dangerous situation trying to infuse so many people into such a small space. They are already completing a new neighborhood on the East side of Briggs which will add to these school-related problems tenfold.

I spent a great deal of time wondering whether I should submit comments on this project. It seems as if the City is not interested in truly taking into account opinions of residents on their full-steam-ahead, BUILD, BUILD, BUILD mentality. Your Facebook is full of harsh criticisms, but many residents don’t have the time to attend in-person meetings. We fear our typed comments will not be considered or shared. I hope you will consider and share my valid concerns as a long-time, tax paying resident of Menifee. It is time for responsible, thoughtful, decision-making. It is time for those working for the City of Menifee to remember that the City and its employees are meant to serve the people. Your decisions, for better or worse, affect our everyday lives, and we expect you to take that responsibility seriously. It is your duty to weigh pros and cons of developmental projects, carefully considering the impact to quality of life of current residents, and/or the true usefulness of your proposals (like a multi-million dollar amphitheater at a park not big enough for two soccer teams to practice simultaneously). It is your responsibility to make sure that growth proposed serves the current residents. The state’s “housing shortage” is not a Menifee problem. Menifee residents don’t want to be the fastest growing city in California. This city’s idea of growth as endless gas stations, fast food, and generic houses is clashing with the wishes of Menifee residents. Your insistence on prioritizing haphazard growth is really only leading to the accelerated destruction of a once great place to live, which should be the opposite of what you strive for.

Thank you for your consideration,

CITY OF MENIFEE
SUBJECT: Parks Ad Hoc Council Sub-Committee Update
MEETING DATE: April 17, 2024
TO: Mayor and City Council
PREPARED BY: Rebekah Kramer, Assistant to the City Manager REVIEWED BY: Jonathan Nicks, Deputy City Manager
APPROVED BY: Armando G. Villa, City Manager
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

RECOMMENDED ACTION

1. Receive an update from the Parks Ad Hoc Council Sub-Committee; and

2. Provide direction to staff regarding initiation of a fiscal impact and sustainability study to evaluate the feasibility of the City providing maintenance and recreation services in the Valley- Wide Recreation and Park District Landscape Maintenance Districts located within the Menifee city limits.

DISCUSSION
Background
Valley-Wide Recreation and Park District (“Valley-Wide”) is government agency owns and/or maintains streetscapes, retention basins, recreational facilities, and over 80 parks in the eastern portion of Menifee, Hemet, San Jacinto, Beaumont, and unincorporated areas of Riverside County including Winchester and French Valley. Within the Menifee city limits, Valley-Wide’s service area includes streetscapes, retention basins, recreational facilities, and 24 parks on the east side of Interstate 215. Both the City and Valley-Wide receive special tax district revenues from residents’ property tax assessments to maintain and operate their facilities. There are three Landscape Maintenance Districts (“LMDs”) located in the City of Menifee that fall within the Valley-Wide service area. Those LMDs were established prior to the City’s incorporation in 2008.

Since incorporation, the City has placed a high value on local oversight and the operation of Menifee’s public parks, recreational facilities, streetscapes, and retention basis. As such, in 2016, the City submitted an application to the Riverside Local Agency Formation Commission (“LAFCO”) to detach those facilities from Valley-Wide and annex them into the City of Menifee.

While LAFCO conditionally approved the City’s application in August 2017, the City was unable to meet all the detachment conditions within the established 12-month implementation period.

LAFCO’s conditions included:
•A requirement for the City to pay $500,000 to Valley-Wide to address the financial impact of the detachment; and
•Initiation / approval of a property tax assessment vote; establishment of a joint powers agreement to jointly administer the existing LMDs and levy assessments; or use of the City’s General Fund revenue to support the LMD operations and maintenance costs.

The three Valley-Wide LMDs located within Menifee’s city limits include Menifee North, Menifee Parks, and Menifee South, as shown in the attached Valley-Wide LMD Map. The Menifee Parks LMD is contained entirely within the city limits and includes Wheatfield Park and Community Center, Menifee Gymnasium (shared with Bell Mountain Middle School under a joint use agreement between Menifee Union School District and Valley-Wide), and Lago Vista Sports Park.

The Menifee North LMD contains two County of Riverside owned facilities that are operated and maintained by Valley-Wide including the Marion A. Ashely Community Center and Eller Park.

Approximately twenty percent of the Menifee North LMD and six percent of the Menifee South LMD boundaries are located outside of the city limits. An updated boundary area review would be required to confirm the exact acreage of each of these LMDs, accounting for any growth that has occurred since the last update was completed in 2018.

With continued growth and development occurring throughout the City, parks and recreation services must be continually assessed to ensure the service needs of our community are met.

Since the LAFCO detachment / annexation application was filed in 2016, the City’s revenues have more than doubled and the City has established a proven record of providing parks maintenance and recreation services for the Menifee parks located on the west side of Interstate 215.

The unification of Menifee parks and recreation services has been identified as a priority in both the City’s Strategic Plan and the Park Master Plan. With this in mind, the City Council established the Parks Ad Hoc Council Sub-Committee (“Committee”). The Committee is charged with working with City staff to gain a greater understanding of the issues related to a possible detachment / annexation of the 24 parks located within the Menifee city limits that are owned and/or operated by Valley-Wide and identify opportunities for partnership with Valley-Wide to better serve the needs of the community. Mayor Bill Zimmerman and Councilmember Lesa Sobek are the City Council’s appointed representatives on the Committee.

Since being established, the Committee has worked with staff to review the City’s 2016 LAFCO application, legal requirements for detachment / annexation, and available options to meet the park and recreation service needs of the community. As a next step, a fiscal sustainability study to evaluate the feasibility of annexing a portion or all of the Valley-Wide LMDs into the City would need to be completed. Once this analysis is complete, it would be presented to the Committee and the Parks, Recreation, and Trails Commission for review followed by a report to the City Council for consideration. Should the City Council decide to move forward with a detachment / annexation process for any or all of the Valley-Wide LMDs an application would need to be filed with LAFCO following the steps outlined in the attached procedural diagram.

Completion of a fiscal impact and sustainability study to evaluate the feasibility of providing maintenance and recreation services in the Valley-Wide LMDs located within the Menifee city limits is estimated to cost $60,000. The actual cost would be determined following the completion of a request for proposal and selection process. The adopted fiscal year 2023/2024 operating budget for the City Executive Office includes funding for anticipated special projects such as the proposed feasibility study in Account No. 100-4111-52855, Consulting Services.

RECOMMENDED ACTION

1. Review and provide direction to staff on the potential formation of a Veterans Advisory Committee.

DISCUSSION
On October 19, 2022 the City Council requested the opportunity to discuss the potential formation of a Veterans Advisory Committee (VAC). In the past, the Community Services Department hosted informal meetings for local veteran groups and service organizations to share resources.

However, during the many closures related to the COVID pandemic, this group moved toward email as the primary form of communication. Interactions have slowed and most groups have either integrated into the regular community partners meeting hosted by the Community Services Department or have become involved in specific veteran event committees.

At the January 18, 2023 City Council meeting, staff presented on the current methods of communication and recognition that the Community Services Department staff employ to continually engage the Menifee military and veteran community. These methods consist of past informal gatherings and outreach to all local veteran groups to support the planning and implementation of various annual special events. Staff was directed to further evaluate the interest of the veteran community for a City appointed committee and/or provide alternative solutions to ensure the voice of the veteran community remains heard.

At the November 15, 2023 City Council meeting, staff brought forward additional information on the several commissions and committees that already exist within the City as well as alternatives to the formation of a VAC, such as hosting a summit. Following discussion, direction was provided to staff to further explore the staff time and resources that would be required to form a VAC similar to the Senior Advisory Committee (SAC) in terms of scope and responsibility.

The SAC is a Brown Act body comprised of five members: four district-represented members appointed by each Councilmember and one member, at-large, appointed by the Mayor. Aside from being a Menifee resident and a registered voter, SAC members must also be 55 years of age or better. Regular meetings are held once a month with staff support provided by the Community Services Department.

The average monthly meeting requires a minimum of 40 hours of staff time to prepare agendas, staff reports, and minutes and a minimum of ten hours of staff time to host the regular monthly meetings. These hours are spread across various levels of the department including the part-time support staff, community services coordinator, community service supervisor, and community services manager. The cost of staff time required to support the SAC is approximately $20,000/year.

With a similar structure to the SAC, a VAC could assist with the planning and organization of the annual veterans focused events such as Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans, Memorial Day Ceremony, and Veterans Day Celebration. Additionally, the powers, duties, and responsibilities of the VAC could include the following responsibilities:
(A) Promote community involvement, with, for, and by veterans. (B) Review proposals for programs, projects, and facilities as they pertain to veterans. (C) Assist in the evaluation and planning of arts, recreation, and social service programs with an emphasis on veterans.
(D) Review and make recommendations on matters pertaining to veteran programming and/or services to the Parks, Recreation, and Trails Commission or City Council. (E) Promote veterans’ involvement in community events, programs or volunteer projects through public education, service clubs, and community organizations. (F) Act in an advisory capacity to the City Council in all other policy matters pertaining to veterans.

Should the City Council recommend the implementation of a VAC, staff would present a formal resolution to the City Council for consideration and adoption at a future meeting. Recruitment for the VAC could take place during the next biennial recruitment for City commissions and committees. The City Clerk’s Department will begin accepting applications in Fall 2024 for appointments in January 2025.

CITY OF MENIFEE
SUBJECT: First Reading and Introduction of an Ordinance Repealing and Replacing Section 3.12.090 as it Relates to Change Orders MEETING DATE: April 17, 2024
TO: Mayor and City Council
PREPARED BY: Margarita Cornejo, Deputy Finance Director REVIEWED BY: Travis Hickey, Chief Financial Officer
APPROVED BY: Armando G. Villa, City Manager
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

RECOMMENDED ACTION

1. Introduce an ordinance repealing and replacing Section 3.12.090 of the Menifee Municipal Code as it relates to the City Manager’s signing authority threshold for construction contract change orders.

DISCUSSION
Chapter 3.12 of the Menifee Municipal Code, titled “Purchasing,” serves as the framework guiding the City of Menifee's procurement processes for delivering essential municipal services to our community. These processes encompass a wide range of activities, including procuring supplies, equipment, professional services, and licensed contractors for various construction projects.

Of particular significance is the City's Capital Improvement Program (CIP), which is dedicated to enhancing and expanding our city-managed infrastructure, such as streets and public facilities.

Operating within the bounds of our Municipal Code and the state's Public Contract Code, Menifee diligently seeks to execute projects under the CIP in a timely and cost-effective manner. However, it's not uncommon for projects to encounter unforeseen circumstances during the transition from design to construction. Consequently, our staff rigorously evaluates and negotiates change order requests to ensure both necessity and cost-effectiveness. Efficient management of change orders is crucial for maintaining project timelines and budgets.

To further support efforts of the CIP, and to ensure timely and cost effective project delivery, at the September 15, 2021 City Council meeting, the City Council deliberated on the topic of construction contract change orders. Based upon industry standards and in consideration of the cost, size, and scope of construction contracts, at the conclusion of the discussion, City Council provided direction to staff to amend the Municipal Code to allow the City Manager to approve construction contract change orders in increments of up to $50,000 so long as the aggregate Item Title: 12.3

amount of change orders did not exceed 10% of the total contract amount. In the event a change order exceeds $50,000, or an aggregate of 10% of the original contract amount, City Council action would be required for approval.

Amidst ongoing efforts for a more thorough review and amendment of Chapter 3.12, governing purchasing, which has remained unchanged since the City's incorporation, a comprehensive overhaul is currently underway. This initiative is slated for presentation to the City Council as an upcoming agenda item. The forthcoming update will comprehensively address all aspects of purchasing, ranging from supply procurement to construction bids, with the aim of consolidating and restructuring contract and purchasing procedures within a unified section of the municipal code.

Initially, the intention was to include proposed changes to Section 3.12.090 in conjunction with the more comprehensive update to Chapter 3.12. However, recognizing the critical need to ensure the timeliness of construction projects and prevent potential delays, staff is proposing the amendment to Section 3.12.090 be considered separately while the more comprehensive review is still ongoing. This amendment to the Municipal Code would support the seamless progression of CIP initiatives, ultimately benefiting the community by delivering essential infrastructure enhancements in a timely manner.

§ 3.12.090 CHANGE ORDERS.

Following the award of a contract or issuance of a purchase order for materials, supplies, equipment, services or construction contracts, the contract or purchase order may be amended by the issuance of a change order, provided the change which is the subject of amendment is reasonably related to the scope of the original contract. The Purchasing Officer will maintain control relative to the scoping, estimating and negotiating of the proposed change(s) and the Director of Finance will certify the availability of funds for the proposed change in the event that the change order increases the contract cost. On a regular basis, a report will be submitted to the City Council outlining all change orders that have been issued to contracts governed by this chapter during the reporting period. Any non-professional services or professional service contract change order with a total cost in the amount of $25,000 or less may be approved by the Purchasing Officer; provided, the aggregate amount of all changes to a particular non- professional services or professional service contract, including the change order under consideration, does not exceed 10% of the original contract cost. Any non-professional services or professional service contract change order in an amount greater than $25,000 or any non-professional services or professional service contract change order which, when considered with the aggregate amount of all other changes to a non-professional services or professional service contract, exceeds 10% of the original contract cost, shall be approved by the City Council. Further, any construction contract change order with a total cost in the amount of $50,000 or less may be approved by the Purchasing Officer; provided, the aggregate amount of all changes to a particular construction contract, including the change order under consideration, does not exceed 10% of the original contract cost. Any construction contract change order in an amount greater than $50,000 or any construction contract change order which, when considered with the aggregate amount of all other changes to a construction contract, exceeds 10% of the original contract cost, shall be approved by the City Council. Any time extension of the performance deadline up to a total of 60 days may be approved by the Purchasing Officer. Any time extension of a performance deadline that exceeds 60 days shall be approved by the City Council. If a proposed contract modification, change order or request for extra work exceeds the limitations imposed upon the Purchasing Officer by this section or by resolution, and any extended delay in obtaining City Council approval is reasonably determined to subject the city to liability for damages incurred by a contractor, or to jeopardize the public health, welfare or safety, or to otherwise result in potential detriment to the city, then the Purchasing Officer shall have authority to exceed the dollar amounts or percentage limitations specified herein. All contract modifications shall be subject to approval as to form by the City Attorney.
