TO: Mayor and City Council
PREPARED BY: Kristen Jensen, Financial Analyst
REVIEWED BY: Nick Fidler, Public Works Director
APPROVED BY: Armando G. Villa, City Manager
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Adopt a resolution calling an election to annex territory, including Assessor’s Parcel No. 335- 481-017, Vista Ridge, located south of Boulder Rock Place, west of Murrieta Road, east of Amber Rock Drive, and north of Thornton Avenue, into Community Facilities District (CFD) No. 2017-1 Maintenance Services and to levy a special tax on that land; and
2. Hold a special landowner election and canvass the election; and
3. Adopt a resolution declaring the results of the special landowner election; and
4. Introduce an ordinance, amending Ordinance No. 2017-231 and levying and apportioning the special tax in CFD 2017-1.
DISCUSSION
On August 6, 2025, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 25-1618, declaring its intent to annex territory to CFD No. 2017-1 and commence the annexation proceedings for the territory to be annexed, also known as Annexation No. 35. The next steps in the annexation proceedings are to hold a public hearing on September 17, 2025, to conduct an election for the landowners and to declare the results of that election. Notice of the public hearing was published in the Press Enterprise and mailed to the property owner in accordance with the Mello-Roos Act.
The area within Annexation No. 35 is included in Assessor’s Parcel Number 335-481-017 and is approximately 2 gross acres of a vacant residential lot within the City. The property is located south of Boulder Rock Place, west of Murrieta Road, east of Amber Rock Drive, and north of Thornton Avenue, as shown in the attached Project Location Map.

services would include items such as landscaping, lighting, streets, drainage, parks, trails, and graffiti abatement.
Per the request of Navarro Trust DTD 05/01/2007, (Owner), the City would establish a rate and method of apportionment and authorize the levy of special taxes on the taxable property within Annexation No. 35 to pay for those services.
Annexation No. 35 would have a maximum annual tax of $852 per unit and would be included in CFD No. 2017-1 as “Tax Zone 35.” This tax rate includes Maximum Special Tax A of $525 per unit per year for maintenance services of public facilities and a Maximum Special Tax B (Contingent Tax B) of $327 per unit per year. The maximum annual tax rate would escalate each year at the greater of Consumer Price Index (CPI) or 2%. The attached CFD Maintenance Site Plan Exhibit illustrates which services would be maintained through the CFD.
The Owner submitted Consent and Waiver forms on file in the City Clerk's Office to:
hold the election and declare election results; and
consent to the shortening of election time requirements; and waive analysis and arguments; and
waive all notice requirements relating to the conduct of the election immediately following the public hearing.
A copy of the boundary map entitled "Annexation Map No. 35, Community Facilities District No. 2017-1 (Maintenance Services)" was recorded on August 8, 2025, in Book 96 of Maps of Assessment and Community Facilities Districts at Page 86, in the office of the Riverside County Recorder. Annexing the parcel into CFD No. 2017-1 would cover the costs of maintenance of certain public improvements associated with the development.
STRATEGIC PLAN OBJECTIVE
Thriving Economy
FISCAL IMPACT
The individual property owners in the CFD would be responsible for annual payments of special taxes.

CITY OF MENIFEE
SUBJECT: Second Reading and Adoption of an Ordinance Adopting the 2025 California Building Standards Codes
MEETING DATE: September 17, 2025
TO: Mayor and City Council
PREPARED BY: Craig Carlson, Building Official
REVIEWED BY: Orlando Hernandez, Community Development Director APPROVED BY: Armando G. Villa, City Manager
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Adopt an ordinance adopting by reference the 2025 Editions of the California Building Code, the California Residential Code, the California Green Building Code, the California Electrical Code, the California Mechanical Code, the California Plumbing Code, the California Energy Code, and the Model Codes with appendices and amendments related thereto, all of which comprise the Buildings and Construction Code of the City of Menifee.
DISCUSSION
On August 20, 2025, the City Council conducted the introduction and first reading of an ordinance adopting the 2025 California Building Standard Codes (Ordinance). This is the required public hearing for the second reading and adoption. If adopted, the proposed ordinance would become effective on January 1, 2026.
This hearing was publicly noticed in The Press Enterprise on August 26, 2025, and September 2, 2025.
In accordance with the California Health and Safety Code and a code update cycle of typically three years, the City adopts by reference a number of model codes that are applicable to construction on private property. Once the State completes the code adoption process, which includes State mandated amendments, local jurisdictions must then adopt the State mandated codes with any local amendments thereto. The codes used by the City were last revised and adopted by the City Council on November 16, 2022, with a subsequent ordinance to amend appendices adopted on August 16, 2023.
The State adoption of the latest model codes, 2025 California Building Standards Codes (“CBSC”), will go into effect on January 1, 2026. Any local amendments must be based on findings related to specific local topographic, climatic or geographic conditions. However, express findings Item Title: 11.3

are not required for administrative amendments that are necessary to carry out the application of the 2025 CBSC and/or any amendments that do not otherwise modify the building standard.
The 2025 CBSC becomes effective as of January 1, 2026, and includes the following updates:
Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) Code: The International Code Council (ICC) has created a new WUI Code aimed at reducing the risk of wildfires. As part of the 2025 California Building Code (CBC) updates, the State has repealed the previous CBC Chapter and adopted the new WUI Code, while keeping California-specific amendments that were already in place. The WUI will apply to any buildings or structures located within the WUI or designated Fire Hazard Severity Zones.
High-Rise Classification: The measurement to determine a high-rise building now includes the elevation of any occupied roof. In prior codes, the high-rise measurement was taken to the highest occupied floor, and occupied roofs were not a factor. Two-Way Communication Systems – Stairways & Elevators: This code provides detailed requirements for the design and installation of fire alarm and emergency communication systems in stairways and elevators. Previous building codes did not clearly require compliance with NFPA 72 which is the National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code published by the National Fire Protection Association.
Horizontal Exit Communication Systems: The CBC now requires two-way communication systems on both sides of a horizontal exit, unless there is already an elevator lobby with such a system. A horizontal exit is a fire-rated wall or barrier inside a building that allows people to move to a safe area on the same floor instead of using stairs. Stairway Exterior Wall Protection: The CBC added a new requirement for protecting stairway exterior walls when the stairway extends above a lower roof. The wall must either have a one-hour fire rating for 10 feet above the roof, or the roof itself must be one-hour rated with 45-minute rated openings within 10 feet of the stairway wall. This requirement does not apply at the true high-roof condition where the stair penthouse is extending above the roof. Egress Court Fire Separation Exception: The CBC now includes an exception to fire separation rules for narrow exit courts. An exit court is an outdoor pathway or open space that leads people from a building exit to a safe area, such as a street or public way. If the exit court is less than 10 feet wide and less than 10 feet from the building, fire separation is not required, as long as people can travel in two different directions toward separate exits leading to the street or another safe area.
Insulated Metal Panels: The CBC now includes rules for Insulated Metal Panels (IMPs), which are factory-made panels with metal on the outside and insulation inside. They can be used for walls or roofs. The new code sets safety standards for how these panels are designed, built, and installed, including fire safety, strength, and how they are joined together.

Podium Construction Updates: There are two updates to podium-style buildings that use a three-hour fire-rated floor to separate different types of construction:
oLarge assembly spaces with occupancy of more than 300 people are now allowed above the three-hour fire separation floor.
oAny changes in height or steps in that fire separation floor must now be built as fire-rated barriers to maintain protection.
Exterior Wall Continuity: The CBC contains new requirements that address continuity of fire-resistance rated exterior walls and how the exterior wall continuity is affected by intersecting floor assemblies or roof assemblies.
Floor Penetration Exceptions: There are two new exceptions for floor penetrations. oConcrete floor openings in parking garages (open or enclosed) can now be left unprotected if the space above and below is also a parking garage. oIf the openings are filled with concrete, grout, or mortar, the usual fire-resistance rating (T- rating) is not required, matching similar rules for fire ratings in other parts of the code.
Plans submitted to plan review prior to January 1, 2026, would not be subject to the new code requirements. All projects submitted on or after January 1, 2026, will be subject to the 2025 CBSC.
In past updates, this action had also incorporated the California Fire Code; however, for this cycle, the Fire Code will be presented to the City Council under a separate ordinance. Riverside County Fire, which provides fire prevention services to the City, is still reviewing the State’s 2025 Fire Code and will bring forward a separate item for Council consideration. This report focuses solely on adoption of the 2025 California Building Standards Codes by reference to ensure the City remains in compliance with State law and maintains consistency with regional standards.

ORDINANCE NO. 2025-
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MENIFEE, CALIFORNIA ADOPTING BY REFERENCE THE 2025 EDITIONS OF THE CALIFORNIA BUILDING CODE AS CHAPTER 8.04, THE CALIFORNIA RESIDENTIAL CODE AS CHAPTER 8.05, THE CALIFORNIA GREEN BUILDING CODE AS CHAPTER 8.06, THE CALIFORNIA ELECTRICAL CODE AS CHAPTER 8.08, THE CALIFORNIA MECHANICAL CODE AS CHAPTER 8.12, THE CALIFORNIA PLUMBING CODE AS 8.16, THE CALIFORNIA ENERGY CODE AS CHAPTER 8.17, AND THE MODEL CODES WITH APPENDICES
AND AMENDMENTS RELATED THERETO, ALL OF WHICH COMPRISE THE
BUILDING AND CONSTRUCTION CODE OF THE CITY OF MENIFEE WHEREAS, the California Building Standards Commission has adopted and published the 2025 California Building Standards Code (“CBSC”), codified in Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations; and
WHEREAS, the 2025 CBSC contains, among other parts, the California Building Code (Title 24, Part 2), California Residential Code (Title 24, Part 2.5), California Electrical Code (Title 24, Part 3), California Mechanical Code (Title 24, Part 4), California Plumbing Code (Title 24, Part 5), California Energy Code (Title 24, Part 6), California Green Building Standards Code [“CALGreen Code”] (Title 24, Part 11),; and
WHEREAS, Sections 17922, 17958, 17958.5, 17958.7, and 18941.5 of the California Health & Safety Code provide that the governing body of every city or county shall adopt ordinances or regulations imposing the same requirements as those contained in the most recently adopted version of the CBSC; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Menifee (the “City”) wishes to update the rules and regulations governing building and construction within City limits to reflect the 2025 CBSC, as well as to make modifications to certain building standards and administrative provisions necessary to carry out the application of the CBSC; and WHEREAS, the City Council is not required to make any express findings for administrative amendments necessary to carry out the application of the CBSC and/or that do not otherwise modify a building standard.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Menifee does hereby ordain as follows:
SECTION 1. Recitals. The recitals above are true and correct and are incorporated herein in full.
SECTION 2. Local Climatic, Geological, and Topographical Findings. The City of Menifee hereby finds and determines it is reasonably necessary to adopt local amendments to the 2025 CBSC due to local climatic, geological, or topographical conditions as follows:
I. Climatic Conditions
A. The City of Menifee, Riverside County is located in Southern California and covers a vast and varied geographic area. The base climate in western Riverside County consists of semi-arid Mediterranean weather patterns. Eastern Riverside County is a desert area with Mohave Desert temperatures and weather patterns. Those two primary areas are divided by the San Bernardino Mountain Range. Both areas outside of the mountain terrain annually experience Item Title: 11.3

extended periods of high temperatures with little or no precipitation. Hot, dry winds, which may reach speeds of 70 M.P.H. or greater, are common to the area. Examples are: Santa Ana/Foehn winds, afternoon surface-heating generated winds, and prevailing desert winds.
B. These climatic conditions cause extreme drying of vegetation and common building materials. Frequent periods of drought and low humidity add to the fire danger. This predisposes the area to large destructive fires (conflagration) which necessitates rapid identification, location, and extinguishment of all fires in the smallest stage possible. In addition to directly damaging or destroying buildings, these fires are also prone to disrupt utility services throughout Riverside County. Obstacles generated by a strong wind, such as fallen trees, streetlights, and utility poles, will greatly impact the response time to reach an incident scene.
During these winds, the inability to use aerial type firefighting apparatuses would place rescue personnel at increased risk of injury and further decrease our ability to stop fires in large buildings.
C. Although Riverside County and the City of Menifee occasionally experience periods of significant drought, the County can also experience periods of substantial rainfall.
Annual rainfall varies from three (3) inches in Blythe to over thirty- three (33) inches in Pine Cove.
When Riverside County does experience heavy rain, or rain over a period of days or weeks, many areas of the County are subject to flooding. Runoff from rain drains either naturally into rivers, washes, and creeks or into flood control facilities. Flash flooding is also a common problem, especially in the Coachella Valley and the easterly portions of the county. Flash flooding is typically associated with short duration, high intensity precipitation events often associated with summer thunderstorms. Such events can occur even during a drought.
D. Water demand in densely populated Southern California far exceeds the quantity supplied by natural precipitation; and although the population continues to grow, the already- taxed water supply does not. California is projected to increase in population by nearly 10 million over the next quarter of a century with 50 percent of that growth centered in Southern California.
Due to storage capacities and consumption, and a limited amount of rainfall future water allocation is not fully dependable. This necessitates the need for additional and on-site fire protection features. It would also leave tall buildings vulnerable to uncontrolled fires due to a lack of available water and an inability to pump sufficient quantities of available water to floors in a fire.
E. These dry climatic conditions and winds contribute to the rapid spread of even small fires originating in high-density housing or vegetation. These fires spread very quickly and create a need for increased levels of fire protection. The added protection of fire sprinkler systems and other fire protection features such as identification and notification will supplement normal fire department response by providing immediate protection for the building occupants and by containing and controlling the fire spread to the area of origin. Fire sprinkler systems will also reduce the use of water for firefighting by as much as 50 to 75 percent.
II. Topographical Conditions
A.Natural: The topographical conditions of Riverside County varies from three hundred (300) feet below sea-level, flat desert communities, to mountains over ten thousand (10,000) feet in Alpine-like areas of the San Bernardino Mountain Range. In between these areas, developable slopes of 25 percent and greater generally occur throughout the foothills. Riverside County extends from Orange County to the State of Arizona and is mixed with congested urban areas, rural lands, and wild lands. A large number of sensitive habitats for various animal species and vegetation consist within large open space areas between major urban centers that impact building and structure location, which impedes emergency access and response. This variety in Item Title: 11.3

regions contributes to an increased emergency response time, which necessitates cooperation between local agencies.
B.Traffic and circulation congestion is an artificially created, obstructive topographical condition, which is common throughout Riverside County.
C.These topographical conditions combine to create a situation, which places fire department response time to fire occurrences at risk and makes it necessary to provide automatic on-site fire-extinguishing systems and other protection measures to protect occupants and property.
III. Geological Conditions
A. Located within Riverside County are several known active and potentially active earthquake faults, including the San Andreas, San Jacinto, and Elsinore Fault. In the event of an earthquake, the location of the epicenter as well as the time of day and season of the year would have a profound effect on the number of deaths and casualties, as well as property damage.
B. The major form of direct damage from most earthquakes is damage to construction. Bridges are particularly vulnerable to collapse, and dam failure may generate major downstream flooding. Buildings vary in susceptibility, dependent upon construction and the types of soils on which they are built. Earthquakes destroy power and telephone lines; gas, sewer, or water mains; which, in turn, may set off fires and/or hinder firefighting or rescue efforts. The hazard of earthquakes varies from place to place, dependent upon the regional and local geology.
Ground shaking may occur in areas 65 miles or more from the epicenter (the point on the ground surface above the focus). Ground shaking can change the mechanical properties of some fine grained, saturated soils, where upon they liquefy and act as a fluid (liquefaction).
C. Previous earthquakes in Southern California have been accompanied by disruption of traffic flow and fires. A severe seismic event has the potential to negatively impact any rescue or fire suppression activities because it is likely to create obstacles similar to those indicated under the high wind section above. With the probability of strong aftershocks there exists a need to provide increased protection for anyone on upper floors of buildings.
D. Road circulation features located throughout Riverside County also make amendments reasonably necessary. Located through Riverside County are major roadways, highways and flood control channels that create barriers and slow response times. Hills, slopes, street and storm drain design accompanies with occasional heavy rainfall, causes roadway flooding and landslides and at times may make an emergency access route impassable. There are areas in Riverside County that naturally have extended emergency response times that exceed the 5-minute goal.
California Health and Safety Code Sections 17958.7 and 18941.5 require that the modification or change be expressly marked and identified as to which each finding refers. Therefore, the City Council finds that the following table sets forth the 2025 CBSC Codes and sections that have been modified and the associated local climatic, geological and/or topographical conditions described above supporting the modification.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Adopt a resolution approving the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Fiscal Year 2024/2025 Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER), authorizing staff to submit the CAPER to the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
DISCUSSION
In Fiscal Year (FY) 2024/2025, the City received $563,249 in CDBG funds from HUD. The CDBG allowed the City to implement several housing and community development programs, primarily targeting low-income households. Projects included housing rehabilitation and public services.
HUD requires recipients of CDBG funds to prepare an annual evaluation of the progress and implementation of programs and activities under their CDBG program. The CAPER has been prepared to assist residents and HUD in evaluating the City's use of CDBG funds to meet the priority needs identified in the City's 2022-2027 Consolidated Plan (adopted by the City Council on May 4, 2022).
The table on the following page summarizes the various projects/activities included within FY 2024/2025, the allocated amounts, the amounts spent, and the number of Low and Moderate Income (LMI) individuals served during the year.

Housing Needs
With respect to affordable housing, the 2022-2027 Consolidated Plan identified property maintenance as warrantable for addressing housing needs in Menifee. As such to address the Minor Home Rehabilitation Grant Program (MHRGP) was included in the 2024/2025 Annual Action Plan projects/activities. The outcome goal for the program is to assist approximately ten (10) LMI household units. Through the Minor Home Rehabilitation Grant Program, the City’s objective is to foster and maintain existing affordable housing stock. “WORST-CASE NEEDS”: Worst-case housing needs are defined as low-income renter households who pay more than half their income for rent, live in seriously substandard housing, or have been involuntarily displaced. The City of Menifee served the worst -case needs in FY 2024/2025 by providing the following:
More than 50% of rent: The Housing Choice Voucher rental assistance Program provided housing payment assistance to those qualifying households who paid more than 50% of their income for housing. CDBG and ESG funds were utilized through various agencies to aid with food and other support services.
Substandard Housing: The Housing Choice Voucher rental assistance program and various residential rehabilitation programs (stated above) ensured that substandard housing met HQS Standards, State Standards , and/or local rehabilitation standards for decent housing.
Additionally, the City participates in the County’s mortgage certificate program.
Involuntarily Displaced: During the reporting period, there was no voluntary or involuntary displacement through the City’s Federal Entitlement Programs.
The City has also identified homelessness as a worst -case need and allocated CDBG funds for Homeless Outreach Prevention Program.
Persons with Disabilities: The City has focused its capital improvement projects on removing barriers to those with disabilities. In the last few years and currently, the City has retrofitted, upgraded, and brought neighborhoods (eligible tract areas) into compliance by adding ADA pedestrian ramps.

CR-25 - Homeless and Other Special Needs 91.220(d, e); 91.320(d, e); 91.520(c) Evaluate the jurisdiction’s progress in meeting its specific objectives for reducing and ending homelessness through:
Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs
On January 22, 2025, the Office of Homeless Services within the Department of Housing and Workforce Solutions (HWS) from Riverside County successfully led the County’s annual Homeless Point-in-Time (PIT) Count, in close collaboration with the Riverside County Continuum of Care (CoC), all 28 cities, the Board of Supervisors, the County Executive Office, and key departments of DPSS, RCIT, RUHS-Behavioral Health, Code Enforcement, Probation, and the Sheriff’s Office.
The 2025 PIT Count identified 2,012 s h e l t e r e d homeless people a n d 1, 9 7 8 u n s h e l t e r e d homeless people f o r a t o t a l o f 3,990 individuals experiencing homelessness in Riverside County. While this represents a 7% increase over the 2023 count (3,725 individuals), the rate of growth is slowing steadily year over year—down from 15% in 2022, to 12% in 2023, and now 7% in 2025. The survey documented about 43 homeless people living in Menifee, a 72% increase from 2023.
To reach out to unsheltered homeless persons and assess their individual needs for the purpose of connecting them with available emergency shelter and transitional housing resources, the Menifee Police Department created the Homeless Liaison Officer (HLO) in April 2022. The HLO and Riverside University Health System -Behavioral Health (RUSH -BH) are trained in working with homeless-related problems and are knowledgeable about local and regional resources. They provide referrals to local service providers to address the homeless person’s needs. Prior to July 1, 2020, when the City of Menifee Police Department was incorporated, the City had a contract with the Riverside County Sheriff's Department.
While the City does not currently have a high homeless population, the Strategic Plan developed as part of the 2022-2027 Consolidated Plan, specifically identified the Elimination of Homelessness as one of its goals. To achieve this goal, the City is a member of the Continuum of Care and will continue to participate in the County of Riverside’s Plan to End Homelessness as a county-wide effort. The County’s plan includes:
• Homeless Prevention
• Discharge Planning
• Street Outreach
• Shelter Beds
• Transitional Housing

• Permanent Affordable Housing
• Homeless Management Information System
• Mainstream Resources
• Housing Trust Fund
• Inclusionary Housing Practices
The City has and will continue to support all County efforts as well as collaboration with other jurisdictions and CDBG recipients, in addressing existing homelessness, as well as actions to help homeless persons transition to permanent housing and independent living.
The County of Riverside Department of Public Social Services (DPSS) and Continuum of Care (CoC) continue to focus on expanding the services available to the homeless, including providing additional beds, units, and services. Menifee residents are able to serve through programs such as the Riverside County Emergency Food and Shelter Program.
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons In completion of the 2025 Homeless Point-In-Time Count, the Riverside CoC reported 1,277 emergency shelter beds and 292 transitional housing beds in Riverside County. Transitional Housing (TH) covers the cost of housing while providing case management and support services; providing a period of stability to enable homeless households to transition successfully to and maintain permanent housing within 24 months of program entry. To achieve its goal of ending homelessness, the CoC encourages communities to transform transitional housing programs into permanent supportive housing or rapid rehousing. The CoC partners with the Riverside County EDA, which administers ESG funding, to integrate CoC and ESG funding and increase the number of families with children who are assisted through rapid rehousing. In addition, non-McKinney-Vento funding sources, such as the Emergency Food and Shelter Program (EFSP), funded under FEMA, will be matched as a source for rental/mortgage assistance for families that are homeless or at risk of homelessness in the county's strategy to meet this goal.
Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals and families and those who are: likely to become homeless after being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities, foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); and, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs The CoC has adopted and implemented a Housing First and Rapid Rehousing CoC-wide approach to reduce the length of time homeless (LOTH) and has recently increased the number Item Title: 11.4

of public/private partners to help implement these approaches. In addition, the CoC is revising the intake process to ensure homeless households are given the appropriate intervention at the time they are admitted into the program to reduce their stay; adjusted CoC and ESG case management procedures to move away from the housing-ready approach to a home-based case management approach; improved HMIS data collection through training; and generate a monthly report for outcome measurement.
Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again
The County of Riverside CoC discharge policy is mandated by the State. The Discharge Planning Committee of the CoC is responsible for implementing policies and protocols, and coordinating with various organizations, to ensure that persons being discharged from a publicly funded institution or system of care are not discharged immediately into homelessness. The goals are to identify discharge housing needs , inclusive of housing and supportive services , and to link the individual with community resources that include mental health services, substance abuse support, and housing. The Hospital Association of Southern California Inland Area serves as the lead agency on the Discharge Planning Committee to facilitate communication regarding the discharge planning ne eds of homeless persons from acute care hospitals. The County of Riverside Department of Mental Health collaborates with the Department of Public Social Services and the CoC in the coordination and implementation of discharge planning for homeless individuals disabled by serious mental health and/or substance abuse disorders.
Foster Care and Extended Foster Care programs help transition dependent youth who are emancipating from foster care to independent living. The Department of Public Social Services, the City of Menifee Police Department, and the Probation Departments support the CoC's mission of working towards reintegrating persons leaving correctional facilities to community- based living and self-sufficiency.

Actions taken to address the needs of public housing
The City of Menifee does not have a Housing Aut hority. Any publicly subsidized housing within the City is provided and managed by the Housing Authority of Riverside County and the Riverside County Economic Development. The City will continue to support its efforts.
Currently, the City has three (3) publicly assisted multiple -family projects that offer 226 deed- restricted units affordable to lower-income households. The Vineyards project offers 81 units affordable to lower-income seniors. The Avila apartment has 178 units, of which 36 units are affordable to lower-income family households. The 118 -unit Halter Hillside I and II project provides 110 affordable units to seniors.
Additionally, the County of Riverside’s Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) program provides rental assistance to very low-income families to help them afford decent and safe rental housing in Menifee. This program is currently administered by the Riverside County Housing Authority.
The Housing Authority accepts applications for rental assistance, selects the applicant for admission, and issues the applicant a rental voucher. The family must then find and lease a unit suitable to the family's needs and desires in the private rental market. The Housing Authority pays the owner a portion of the rent that generally covers the difference between what the tenant can afford (30% of income) and the locally determined fair market rent and payment standard. Because of the limited number of vouchers, there is a waiting list for vouchers .
Currently, there are 153 residents of Menifee provided with the County of Riverside’s Housing Choice Voucher.
Actions taken to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and participate in homeownership
While the City of Menifee does not have a Housing Authority, it actively encourages participation through the various housing programs administered by the Housing Authority of Riverside County and the Riverside County Economic Development. The City will continue to support its efforts.
Actions taken to provide assistance to troubled PHAs
The Housing Authority of the County of Riverside (HACR) is not a troubled agency and has been HUD rated as either a "High Performer" or a "Standard Performer" in the past few years.

Actions taken to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the return on residential investment. 91.220 (j); 91.320 (i) As a main component of the City’s General Plan, the Housing Element (2021 -2029) of the Plan specifically reviews, assesses, and identifies the jurisdiction’s housing stock, any existing barriers/constraints to affordable housing, and actions, plans to mitigate the identified barriers/constraints.
As of December 18, 2013, the City of Menifee’s first General Plan was formally adopted by the City Council. The 6th Cycle Housing Element was adopted on November 16, 2022, and on April 5, 2023, the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) found the City’s 6 th Cycle, 2021-2029 Housing Element in compliance with State Housing Element Law (Article 10.6 of the Gov. Code). The Housing Element incorporates the City’s strategy to eliminate barriers to affordable housing.
The City’s Housing Element includes an analysis of potential and actual market, governmental, and environmental constraints to the production, maintenance, and improvement of housing for persons of all income levels, including persons with disabilities. Th e adopted Housing Element identifies the following main categories of barriers/constraints in its analysis:
• Market Constraints – development costs, accessibility to financing, fees , and assessments
• Land Use Controls – Conformity with General Plan Land Use • Development Regulations – Development standards, parking standards, building codes and enforcement, subdivision requirements, energy conservation, • Permitting Processes – Plot Plan process, design review process, housing for people with disabilities
In 2015, the City began implementation of the strategies to mitigate the identified constraints/barriers. While some of the identified factors, such as market constraints , are not within the direct control of the City, by including and identifying them in its analysis, the City has a comprehensive perspective and approach to proactively working on increasing accessibility to affordable housing.

• First-Time Homebuyer Support: Programs offer guidance and financial assistance to help new buyers navigate the home purchasing process.
• Foreclosure Recovery: Resources are available to assist individuals and families facing foreclosure, helping them regain stability.
• Acquisition Assistance: Aid is provided to help eligible residents acquire homes, making ownership more accessible.
PLHA Grant & Down Payment Assistance
• The City of Menifee secured a Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) Grant totaling $1,224,297 from the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD).
• This funding supports housing-related projects that address unmet local needs. • To date, eight households earning at or below 80% of the area median income have received loans through the Down Payment Assistance Program, helping them take the crucial step toward homeownership.
Fair Housing Education & Counseling
• The Fair Housing Council offers comprehensive first-time homebuyer education, including:
• One-on-one counseling sessions
• Interactive workshops - The most recent First Time Homebuyers Workshop was held at Menifee City Hall on July 13, 2024. A total of eighteen (18) attendees went to the workshop.
• Topics covered include:
• Budgeting for homeownership
• Understanding loan qualifications
• Finding trustworthy lenders and suitable homes
• Navigating credit issues and avoiding predatory lending practices Additionally, since August 2014, the City of Menifee has been part of Riverside County’s Mortgage Credit Certificate (MCC) Program. This initiative offers eligible homebuyers a valuable federal income tax credit, calculated as a percentage of the mortgage interest paid annua lly. By reducing their tax liability, buyers effectively increase their qualifying income —making it easier to secure a home loan.

Impediment 2: Increase Affordable Housing Availability
During the development of the Analysis of Impediment, it was identified that the primary barriers to affordable housing in Menifee are the lack of monetary resources necessary to develop and sustain affordable housing. The two barriers are related to the fact that demand for affordable housing exceeds the supply, and there are insufficient resources available to increase the supply of affordable housing to meet demand.
The City will continue to conduct annual outreach to developers, apply for or support applications for funding, and look for opportunities to encourage the production of affordable housing. Funding sources may include State, Regional, and private resources, such as:
• State Low-Income Housing Tax Credit Program
• CalHome Program
• Mental Health Service Act (MHSA) Funding
• Federal Home Loan Bank Affordable Housing Program (AHP) • Unity Way Funding
• Private Contributions
• Public-Private Partnerships
Timeframe: Ongoing and continuous.
Impediment 3: Job Creation
The City of Menifee’s Economic Development Department is dedicated to enhancing the economic prosperity and overall quality of life for its residents by attracting new businesses, which in turn generate additional employment opportunities throughout the city.
Additionally, Menifee has joined forces with Riverside County Workforce Development to support residents throughout their career journeys. Offering assistance in job searching, career changes, skill building, and vocational training, they help residents advance toward h igher-paying opportunities. With a dedicated and experienced team, the Workforce Development Center stands ready to guide individuals at every stage of their professional growth.
Timeframe: The City will continue to do this on an ongoing and continuous basis.
Impediment 4: Broadband Internet Accessibility
The City of Menifee continues to make strong progress in broadband accessibility. According to one major local provider, fiber optic broadband now reaches over 95% of the community.

Additionally, multiple broadband satellite providers offer 100% coverage, and several mobile providers have entered the market, expanding competition and connectivity options. With this level of access achieved, the City is shifting its focus from broadban d expansion to enhancing communications infrastructure and exploring how technology can meaningfully improve the lives of our residents. While the city is not currently pursuing formal Smart City initiatives, the Information Technology Department is partnering with Engineering, which is actively addressing traffic congestion, to support strategic planning and design recommendations. They are also exploring grant opportunities that align with future Smart City goals. As the City moves forward, we are committed to listening to our community and identifying technology-driven solutions that address real needs and create lasting impact.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Appoint one member of the City Council as the voting delegate and up to two members of the City Council as alternate voting delegates for the League of California Cities Annual Conference, General Assembly scheduled for Friday, October 10, 2025, in Long Beach; and
2. Authorize the City Clerk to complete and return the voting delegate/alternate online submission form to the League of California Cities.
DISCUSSION
The League of California Cities (Cal Cities) will hold its Annual Conference and Expo in Long Beach, California, from October 8 - 10, 2025. A focus of the conference is the Cal Cities General Assembly, a member-driven body that provides City officials with the opportunity to participate directly in the development of Cal Cities policy. In order for the City of Menifee to cast its vote on policy matters considered during the General Assembly, the City Council must designate one voting delegate and up to two alternates. To qualify as the voting delegate, the appointee(s) must be registered to attend the conference. The Councilmembers registered to attend the conference this year are Mayor Pro Tem Bob Karwin and Councilmembers Temple and Diederich. Once appointed, the delegate and alternates must be submitted to Cal Cities by completing and returning the official Voting Delegate form no later than Wednesday, September 24, 2025.
At this time, Cal Cities has not received any proposed resolutions for consideration at the General Assembly. However, it is important to note that member cities retain the ability to submit petitioned resolutions during the conference itself. Should a resolution be introduced, it would be deliberated and voted on during the annual business meeting, requiring the participation and representation of the City’s designated voting delegate.

RE: DESIGNATION OF VOTING DELEGATES AND ALTERNATES
League of California Cities Annual Conference and Expo, Oct. 8-10, 2025 Long Beach Convention Center
Every year, the League of California Cities convenes a member-driven General Assembly at the Cal Cities Annual Conference and Expo. The General Assembly is an important opportunity where city officials can directly participate in the development of Cal Cities policy.
Taking place on Oct. 10, the General Assembly is comprised of voting delegates appointed by each member city; every city has one voting delegate. Your appointed voting delegate plays an important role during the General Assembly by representing your city and voting on resolutions.
To cast a vote during the General Assembly, your city must designate a voting delegate and up to two alternate voting delegates, one of whom may vote if the designated voting delegate is unable to serve in that capacity. Voting delegates may either be an elected or appointed official.
Action by Council Required. Consistent with Cal Cities bylaws, a city’s voting delegate and up to two alternates must be designated by the city council. Please note that designating the voting delegate and alternates must be done by city council action and cannot be accomplished by individual action of the mayor or city manager alone.
Following council action, please submit your city’s delegates through the online submission portal by Wed., Sept. 24. When completing the Voting Delegate submission form, you will be asked to attest that council action was taken. You will need to be signed in to your My Cal Cities account when submitting the form.
Submitting your voting delegate form by the deadline will allow us time to establish voting delegate/alternate records prior to the conference and provide pre-conference communications with voting delegates.
Conference Registration Required. The voting delegate and alternates must be registered to attend the conference. They need not register for the entire conference; they may register for Friday only. Conference registration is open on the Cal Cities website.

For a city to cast a vote, one voter must be present at the General Assembly and in possession of the voting delegate card and voting tool. Voting delegates and alternates need to pick up their conference badges before signing in and picking up the voting delegate card at the voting delegate desk. This will enable them to receive the special sticker on their name badges that will admit the voting delegate into the voting area during the General Assembly.
Please view Cal Cities’ event and meeting policy in advance of the conference.
Transferring Voting Card to Non-Designated Individuals Not Allowed. The voting delegate card may be transferred freely between the voting delegate and alternates, but only between the voting delegate and alternates. If the voting delegate and alternates find themselves unable to attend the General Assembly, they may not transfer the voting card to another city official.
Seating Protocol during General Assembly. At the General Assembly, individuals with a voting card will sit in a designated area. Admission to the voting area will be limited to the individual in possession of the voting card and with a special sticker on their name badge identifying them as a voting delegate.
The voting delegate desk, located in the conference registration area of the Long Beach Convention Center in Long Beach, will be open at the following times: Wednesday, Oct. 8, 8:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m. and Thursday, Oct. 9, 7:30 a.m.-4:00 p.m. On Friday, Oct. 10, the voting delegate desk will be open at the General Assembly, starting at 7:30 a.m., but will be closed during roll calls and voting.
The voting procedures that will be used at the conference are attached to this memo.
Please share these procedures and this memo with your council and especially with the individuals that your council designates as your city’s voting delegate and alternates.
Once again, thank you for submitting your voting delegate and alternates by Wednesday, Sept. 24. If you have questions, please contact Zach Seals at [email protected].

3. Registering with the Credentials Committee. The voting delegate, or alternates, may pick up the city's voting card at the voting delegate desk in the conference registration area. Voting delegates and alternates must sign in at the voting delegate desk. Here they will receive a special sticker on their name badge and thus be admitted to the voting area at the General Assembly.
4. Signing Initiated Resolution Petitions. Only those individuals who are voting delegates (or alternates), and who have picked up their city’s voting card by providing a signature to the credentials committee at the voting delegate desk, may sign petitions to initiate a resolution.
5. Voting. To cast the city's vote, a city official must have in their possession the city's voting card and voting tool; and be registered with the credentials committee. The voting card may be transferred freely between the voting delegate and alternates but may not be transferred to another city official who is neither a voting delegate nor alternate.
6. Voting Area at General Assembly. At the General Assembly, individuals with a voting card will sit in a designated area. Admission to the voting area will be limited to the individual in possession of the voting card and with a special sticker on their name badge identifying them as a voting delegate.
7. Resolving Disputes. In case of dispute, the credentials committee will determine the validity of signatures on petitioned resolutions and the right of a city official to vote at the General Assembly.

Sixty days before the
Annual Conference
and Expo, Cal Cities
members may submit
policy proposals on
issues of importance
to cities. The resolution must
have the concurrence of at least
five additional member cities or
individual members.
How it works: Cal Cities
Resolutions and the General Assembly
General Assembly
General Resolutions Policy Committees
Developing League of California Cities policy is a dynamic process that engages a wide range of members to ensure Cal Cities represents cities with one voice. These policies directly guide Cal Cities’ advocacy to promote local decision-making, and lobby against statewide policies that erode local control.
The resolutions process and General Assembly is one way that city officials can directly participate in the development of Cal Cities policy. If a resolution is approved at the General Assembly, it becomes official Cal Cities policy. Here’s how resolutions and the General Assembly work.
The petitioned
resolution is an
alternate method
to introduce policy
proposals during
the annual conference. The
petition must be signed by
voting delegates from 10% of
member cities, and submitted to
the Cal Cities President at least
24 hours before the beginning
of the General Assembly.
Petitioned Resolutions
The Cal Cities
President assigns
general resolutions
to policy committees
where members
review, debate, and recommend
positions for each policy proposal.
Recommendations are forwarded
to the Resolutions Committee.
Who’s who
The Resolutions Committee
includes representatives
from each Cal Cities
diversity caucus, regional
division, municipal
department, and policy
committee, as well as
individuals appointed by
the Cal Cities president.
Voting delegates
are appointed by each
member city; every city
has one voting delegate.
The General Assembly is a
meeting of the collective
body of all voting
delegates —one from
every member city.
Seven policy committees
meet throughout the year
to review and recommend
positions to take on bills
and regulatory proposals.
Policy committees include
members from each Cal
Cities diversity caucus,
regional division, and
municipal department,
as well as individuals
appointed by the Cal
Cities president.
During the General Assembly, voting delegates
debate and consider general and petitioned
resolutions forwarded by the Resolutions
Committee. Potential Cal Cities bylaws
amendments are also considered at this meeting.
Cal Cities policy
development is a member-
informed process,
grounded in the voices and
experiences of city officials
throughout the state.
For more information visit www.calcities.org/general-assembly Prior to the Annual Conference and Expo
Resolutions Committee
The Resolutions
Committee considers
all resolutions. General
Resolutions approved1 by
either a policy committee
or the Resolutions Committee are next
considered by the General Assembly.
General resolutions not approved, or
referred for further study by both a
policy committee and the Resolutions
Committee do not go to the General
Assembly. All Petitioned Resolutions
are considered by the General
Assembly, unless disqualified.2
During the Annual Conference and Expo
1 The Resolution Committee can amend a general resolution prior to sending it to the General Assembly. 2 Petitioned Resolutions may be disqualified by the Resolutions Committee according to Cal Cities Bylaws Article VI. Sec. 5(f).

SUBJECT: Fire Services Review

TO: Mayor and City Council
PREPARED BY: Jennifer Jackson, Sr. Management Analyst
REVIEWED BY: Bryan Jones, Assistant City Manager
APPROVED BY: Armando G. Villa, City Manager
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Review and discuss the City of Menifee’s fire protection, fire prevention, rescue and emergency medical services provided by Riverside County Fire Department/CAL FIRE through a Cooperative Agreement.
DISCUSSION
In response to a future agenda item request from the City Council on April 2, 2025, a review of City Fire Services has been prepared for discussion.
Riverside County Fire Department/CAL FIRE Agreement
Since 1946, Riverside County Fire Department has partnered with CAL FIRE for fire protection, advanced life support, technical rescue, and hazardous materials response services. Upon incorporation in 2008, the City of Menifee contracted with Riverside County Fire Department/CAL FIRE through a Cooperative Agreement (Agreement) which was renewed on July 1, 2024, and extends through June 30, 2027.
The Agreement provides fire protection services, fire prevention, fire marshal services, rescue, and medical emergency services. Under the terms of the Agreement, both the City of Menifee and Riverside County Fire Department/CAL FIRE are responsible for providing the resources necessary to achieve the required fire service delivery needs.
While Riverside County Fire Department/CAL FIRE provides the personnel and equipment, and maintains the City-owned four fire engines, the City owns and maintains the fire stations, fire inspection vehicles, both the medic squad and patrol squad vehicles, as well as the ladder truck used to support fire service operations within the City. This includes four existing fire stations with a fifth station planned for the northeastern portion of the city, Heritage Lake Station #74 (land has been acquired, construction funding secured, and engine ordered). This allows the City to Item Title: 12.2

maintain control over its fire service infrastructure while benefiting from the County’s operational capabilities and resources. The comprehensive fire protection provided to the City leverages Riverside County Fire Department/CAL FIRE’s expertise, resources and established regional system. This includes access to regional assets and specialty units operated by both Riverside County Fire Department and CAL FIRE such as the urban search and rescue unit, hazmat team, and arson investigators, as well as state and regional resources available for disaster assistance such as excavator rescue/debris removal, bulldozers, hand crews, and fixed wing and helicopter air support. In addition, medical transport is contracted through the Riverside County Emergency Management Department with a franchise agreement with American Medical Response (AMR).
Riverside Emergency Management Service Agency (REMSA) directly administers this contract.
The City’s four fire stations are staffed by 59 firefighters (21 daily). Fire personnel provide around- the-clock emergency response for a wide range of incidents, including fires, medical aid, hazardous materials, rescue, and public assistance. The department consistently achieves its goal of maintaining a less than 5-minute average emergency response 90 percent of the time (with less than 4.5-minute average emergency response times reported for the first and second quarters of the 2025 calendar year).
The following graph highlights the correlation between Menifee’s population growth and the City’s emergency call volume over the past five fiscal years (2020/21 – 2024/25). The City experienced a steady increase in population throughout this period, growing from 105,773 in FY 2020/21 to 125,547 by fiscal year (FY) 2024/25 (Derrigo Demographic Marketing Report, 2025). Concurrent to the City’s steady population growth, there was a continuous rise in the number of calls for service. Overall, during the five-year period, the population increased by approximately 19 percent while service call volume increased by 20 percent.

Driven by a growing population and corresponding increase in calls for service, the City has increased personnel and made significant investments in fire station infrastructure improvements and equipment since its incorporation in 2008, when it took ownership of the four fire stations from Riverside County. These investments include:
2018 – Replacement of Station #7 (previous Station #7 dedicated in 1972) 2021 – Acquisition of new ladder truck
2022 – Addition of a second medic squad vehicle at Station #7 2023 – Addition of new medic patrol truck at Station #7; Station #68 Interior Improvements Phase I (bathroom remodel, bedroom expansion to accommodate additional personnel, ADA improvements)
2024 – Replacement of Station #5 (previous Station #5 built in 1960s) 2025 – Improvements to Station #76 are underway (enhancements to kitchen and living area to accommodate additional personnel), with completion expected late 2025/early 2026; Station #68 Interior Improvements Phase II (living area, kitchen & offices remodel) has entered the design phase, with construction expected to begin September 2026 The pie chart in Graph 2 illustrates the Riverside County Fire Department/CAL FIRE calls for service by incident type for FY 2024/25. Medical incidents constitute the vast majority of calls, accounting for 84 percent of the total (12,128 calls). Fire and public service assist calls each account for seven percent, while hazard and other/miscellaneous calls each represent one percent. HazMat incidents are the least frequent at less than one percent (20 calls), out of a total 14,367 calls for the year.

Riverside County Fire Department also provides for fire prevention services through the Office of the Fire Marshal. This includes inspections, enforcement, plan reviews, and permitting, and investigations. In addition to the Deputy Fire Marshal, staffing includes one Fire Safety Supervisor, two Fire Safety Specialists, and two Fire Systems Inspectors. Under the terms of the agreement, the City provides all direct operating supplies to support the Fire Marshal’s Office, including vehicles and maintenance, training, office space, cell phones/computers, and uniform costs. The City also employs a Fire Permit Technician to support Fire Marshal Office operations. The office of the Fire Chief, EMS Specialist, and Executive Assistant II are also located in City Hall. In FY 2024/25, the Fire Marshal’s office processed 2,237 permit applications, conducted 4,482 inspections, completed 949 plan reviews and 269 planning case reviews.
The Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Specialist manages the City’s Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) training and the Menifee LifeSavers collection of public education classes including cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), automated external defibrillator (AED) use, Basic First Aid, and Stop the Bleed. In FY 2024/25, three CERT Basic Academies were hosted with 57 participants, and 141 Life Savers courses were provided. The individual Life Savers courses held throughout the fiscal year included CPR and AED training with 420 participants, First Aid training with 265 participants, the Stop The Bleed course with 103 participants and Basic Life Support (BLS) training with 55 participants.
Cost of Service
The annual cost of service under the Agreement reflects the essential resources required to maintain the current level of fire services. The budget reflects all operating costs such as salaries and benefits for personnel, equipment maintenance and replacement, training and support services as stipulated in the Agreement.
The services provided by the Fire Marshal’s Office are a separate function from fire suppression operations and are provided solely within the city limits through the Office of the Fire Marshal (Agreement Exhibit “D”).
The following graphic illustrates the complete fire services budget and population trends across five fiscal years, extending from FY 2020/21 to FY 2024/25. While cost estimates established in the budget are based on the top-step for all authorized personnel, the City is only charged for the actual cost of service. The graph below shows the budget compared to actual cost of fire services for the five-year period extending from July 1, 2020, through June 30, 2025.

Aid Agreements
Cooperative aid agreements exist between Riverside County Fire Department/CAL FIRE and nineteen cities and one community service district in the County. These financial agreements provide for regional integrated fire services and allow for a single command center to dispatch the closest resources to emergencies regardless of jurisdiction. Additionally, Riverside County Fire Department/CAL FIRE has automatic aid agreements with every city in the County not contracted with Riverside County Fire Department/CAL FIRE (e.g., Murrieta, Canyon Lake, Riverside, Corona). Each agreement has a section that defines what type of response will be automatic aid or mutual aid. All fire resources within Riverside County Fire Department jurisdiction, which includes City, County and State resources, are considered one department. Riverside County Fire Emergency Dispatch Center (ECC) dispatches the closest available, appropriate resource to emergencies.
Automatic aid agreements ensure that the closest available fire unit, regardless of its agency of origin, is automatically dispatched to an incident. This maximizes efficiency and minimizes response times. Automatic aid agreements effectively drop jurisdictional boundaries for initial response, providing seamless service delivery without delays. This is crucial for incidents like vehicle accidents on major highways where the exact location is initially unclear.
The downside of both the cooperative and automatic aid models occurs when member or partner agencies do not proactively plan for and invest in fire service infrastructure, equipment, and staffing required to support the growth and development occurring in their jurisdictions. This leaves these agencies inadequately prepared for their specific geographic demands, types of Item Title: 12.2

calls, desired response times and need for services; however, they receive the same level of service and rapid response as the proactive partner agencies. When agencies are not held to the same standard of investment, especially over a significant period of time, the proactive partner agencies end up bearing a disproportionate share of the cost burden with their resources unreasonably strained. The City of Menifee is currently experiencing the negative consequences of this disparity.
By contrast, mutual aid agreements allow Riverside County Fire Department/CAL FIRE to request assistance from non-contracted agencies to provide aid for larger incidents or when resources are strained or depleted, such as wildfires, large structure fires, or mass-casualty incidents. It is not automatic in that contact must be initiated from one command center to another, and aid must be requested and authorized before assistance is provided. Typical provisions of mutual aid agreements state that no agency is required to unreasonably deplete its own resources to assist another and provides that the incident command system (ICS) is to be used to establish a unified command structure that respects each participating agency’s chain of command while allowing for seamless coordination. Terms for reimbursement vary. Mutual aid is not the same as automatic aid in that it is not intended to be routinely used for first response or closest response.
It is in accordance with these existing agreements Riverside County Fire Department/CAL FIRE regularly provides assistance outside the City’s jurisdictional boundaries and similarly receives assistance from surrounding fire agencies. The following chart represents assistance given and received for FY 2023/24 and 2024/25.

Assessing Future Needs
Since incorporation, the City has invested significantly in expanding fire services to keep pace with growth. This includes improving facilities, acquiring equipment, and increasing personnel to strengthen fire suppression, community risk reduction, Fire Marshal services, and prevention efforts. With continued new development and an increasing demand for service, Menifee has been proactive in planning for and regularly evaluating and investing in the City’s fire services.
Adherence to the established Riverside County Fire Department/CAL FIRE service delivery objectives will also continue to drive the need for future expansion of fire services in the City of Menifee:
Maintaining an average emergency response time of 5 minutes or less, achieved 90 percent of the time.
Proactively engaging in community risk reduction through fire prevention and risk assessment.
Providing “zero-minute” response for life safety through community engagement programs.
Fire Services Models
As growth occurs within Menifee and surrounding agencies it is a good practice to continue to regularly assess fire service needs and manage costs and expectations considered in combination with the needs and demands of our Menifee residents and businesses while balancing the need for local control and regional cooperation in the use of resources. As part of this continued evaluation, there are several fire service delivery models that could be considered.
The Agreement with Riverside County Fire Department/CAL FIRE expires June 30, 2027. Under the existing Agreement, the following option may be considered:
Continue conversations and negotiations with the County of Riverside, the Riverside County Fire Department and CAL FIRE regarding the disproportionate level of fire services provided by the City of Menifee to neighboring communities and ways to spread contract costs more equitably between jurisdictions.
It should be noted that Riverside County Fire has contracted with Citygate Associates to complete a 2025 Standards of Cover and Community Risk Assessment of the fire department. This new document will include information, data and improvements needed. This information will be obtained through all 19 city partners both staff and elected, the County, and citizen groups. The goal of the new Standards of Cover is to create a pathway for the department to follow.
As an alternative to the continuation of contracted services, additional fire service options may be considered including:
Establishment of a Municipal Fire Department. Example: Cities of Riverside, Corona, and Murrieta.
Formation of a Fire Protection District - Fire Districts are funded by property taxes and governed by an elected Board of Directors. Formation of a Fire District would require Riverside Local Area Formation Commission (LAFCO) and property owner approval.

Example: Apple Valley Fire Protection District (206 sq mi, including Town of Apple Valley & surrounding unincorporated areas of San Bernardino County), San Bernardino County Fire Protection District (20,160 square miles extending from Los Angeles County to the Colorado River on the east and the Nevada State line to the north), North County Fire Protection District (88 sq mi, including Fallbrook, Rainbow and other surrounding unincorporated areas of San Diego County).
Formation of a Joint Powers Authority (JPA) Fire Agency - A JPA is formed by two or more public agencies to jointly exercise a common power, with or without creating a separate legal entity. The agencies negotiate, draft and adopt a Joint Powers Agreement, which is then filed with LAFCO and the California Controller’s Office. The JPA is governed by representatives from each member agency serving on a Board of Directors. Example:
Heartland Fire Rescue JPA (Cities of El Cajon, La Mesa, Lemon Grove in San Diego County).

SECTION XIII: DISPUTES
CITY shall select and appoint a “Contract Administrator” who shall, under the supervision and direction of CITY, be available for contract resolution or policy intervention with COUNTY, when, upon determination by the Chief or County Contract Administrator that a situation exists under this Agreement in which a decision to serve the interest of CITY has the potential to conflict with COUNTY interest or policy. Any dispute concerning a question of fact arising under the terms of this Agreement which is not disposed of within a reasonable period of time by the CITY and COUNTY employees normally responsible for the administration of this Agreement shall be brought to the attention of the Chief Executive Officer (or designated representative) of each organization for joint resolution. For purposes of this provision, a “reasonable period of time” shall be ten (10) calendar days or less. CITY and COUNTY agree to continue with the responsibilities under this Agreement during any dispute. Disputes that are not resolved informally by and between CITY and COUNTY representatives may be resolved, by mutual agreement of the parties, through mediation. Such mediator will be jointly selected by the parties. The costs associated with mediator shall be shared equally among the participating parties. If the mediation does not resolve the issue(s), or if the parties cannot agree to mediation, the parties reserve the right to seek remedies as provided by law or in equity. The parties agree, pursuant to Battaglia Enterprises v.
Superior Court (2013) 215 Cal.App.4th 309, that each of the parties are sophisticated and negotiated this agreement and this venue at arm’s length. Pursuant to this Agreement, the parties agree that venue for litigation shall be in the Superior Court of Riverside County. Should any party attempt to defeat this section and challenge venue in Superior Court, the party challenging venue stipulates to request the Court change venue to San Bernardino County and shall not ask for venue in any other County.
Any claims or causes of actions, whether they arise out of unresolved disputes as specified in this Section or claims by third parties that are made against the COUNTY, shall be submitted to the Office of the Clerk of the Board for the County of Riverside in a timely manner. For claims that involve CAL FIRE employees, the claims shall be submitted to State of California Office of Risk and Insurance Management Department of General Services directly for processing.
SECTION XIV: ATTORNEYS’ FEES
If CITY fails to remit payments for services rendered pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, COUNTY may seek recovery of fees through litigation, in addition to all other remedies available.
In the event of litigation between COUNTY and CITY to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement or any right of either party hereto, the unsuccessful party to such litigation agrees to pay the prevailing party’s costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, all of which shall be included in and as a part of the judgment rendered in such litigation.

SECTION XVII: ELECTRONIC SIGNATURE
This agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which will be an original, but all of which together will constitute one instrument. Each party of this agreement agrees to the use of electronic signatures, such as digital signatures that meet the requirements of the California Uniform Electronic Transaction Act ((“CUETA”) Civ. Code, §§ 1633.1 to 1633.17), for executing this agreement. The parties further agree that the electronic signatures of the parties included in this agreement are intended to authenticate this writing and to have the same force and effect as manual signatures.
Electronic signature means an electronic sound, symbol, or process attached to or logically associated with an electronic record and executed or adopted by a person with the intent to sign the electronic record pursuant to the CUETA as amended from time to time. The CUETA authorizes use of an electronic signature for transactions and contracts among parties in California, including a government agency. Digital signature means an electronic identifier, created by computer, intended by the party using it to have the same force and effect as the use of a manual signature, and shall be reasonably relied upon by the parties.
