If a decision is made to retain a downgraded security in the portfolio, its presence in the portfolio will be monitored and reported monthly to the Governing Body.
MITIGATING MARKET RISK IN THE PORTFOLIO
Market risk is the risk that the portfolio value will fluctuate due to changes in the general level of interest rates. The City of Me nifee recognizes that, over time, longer-term portfolios have the potential to achieve higher returns. On the other hand, longer-term portfolios have higher volatility of return. The City of Menifee will mitigate market risk by providing adequate liquidity for short-term cash needs, and by making longer-term investments only with funds that are not needed for current cash flow purposes.
The City of Menifee fu rther recognizes that certain types of securities, including variable rate securities, securi ties with principal paydowns prior to maturity, and se curities with embedded options, will affect the market risk profile of the portfolio differently in different interest rate environments. The City of Menifee, therefore, adopts the following strategies to control and mitigate its exposure to market risk:
The City of Menifee will ma intain a minimum of six months of budgeted operating expenditures in short term investments to provide sufficient liquidity for expected disbursements.
The maximum stated final maturity of individual securities in the portfolio will be five (5) years, except as otherwise stated in this policy.
The duration of the portfolio will generally be approximately equal to the duration (typically, plus or minus 20%) of a Market Benchmark, an index selected by the City of Menifee based on the City of Menifee’s investment objectives, constraints and risk tolerances.

CITY OF MENIFEE
SUBJECT: Permit-Ready Accessory Dwelling Unit Plans and Guidebook Update
MEETING DATE: June 3, 2026
TO: Mayor and City Council
PREPARED BY: Molly Binnall, Management Analyst II
REVIEWED BY: Orlando Hernandez, Community Development Director APPROVED BY: Armando G. Villa, City Manager
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Adopt a resolution amending the Permit-Ready Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) plans to the 2025 Editions of the California Building Standards Code, amending the ADU Guidebook for use by the public in obtaining permits for construction of an ADU per City requirements, and authorizing the City Manager to approve future amendments as needed to comply with the California Building Standards Code.
DISCUSSION
As part of the 2022-2029 Housing Element and the City of Menifee’s efforts to plan for future housing needs of the community, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 22-1127 on March 2, 2022, approving the Permit-Ready ADU plans and ADU Guidebook to provide residents with cost- effective and expedited options for constructing ADUs. The Permit-Ready ADU plans were prepared under the 2022 Editions of the California Building Standards Code (Title 24). On September 17, 2025, City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2025-420, implementing the 2025 Editions of the California Building Standards Code, with an effective date beginning January 1, 2026. With the implementation of the 2025 Editions of the California Building Standards Code, the existing Permit-Ready ADU plans were required to be updated to ensure compliance with new structural, energy efficiency, and accessibility standards.
The City pursued funding to update the Permit-Ready ADU plans through the Regional Early Action Planning (REAP) 2.0 Grant administered by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) and the Western Riverside Council of Governments (WRCOG). In order to apply for reimbursement though the REAP 2.0 Grant, the City entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on September 17, 2025 between WRCOG and SCAG which outlines the City’s responsibilities for procurement, reporting, invoicing and compliance with state requirements, and established SCAG and WRCOG’s roles in administering and reimbursing the Item Title: 10.6

REAP 2.0 funds. The City also entered into an agreement with WRCOG on September 17, 2026 through the REAP Local Staff Assistance Program, which outlines the terms between the City and WRCOG. These agreements were required to be established prior to approval by WRCOG and ultimately approval of REAP 2.0 Grant fund reimbursement upon completion of the update.
In January 2026, the City contracted with Design Path Studios to update the Permit-Ready ADU plans to comply with the 2025 Editions of the California Building Standards Code for a not-to- exceed amount of $20,000. The plan update was completed and presented to staff in April 2026 for review by the City’s Building and Safety Division and were found to meet all code requirements.
Final copies of the updated Permit-Ready ADU plans can be found on the City’s website:
https://www.cityofmenifee.us/751/Permit-ready-ADU-program.
In anticipation of future editions of the California Building Standards Code updates, staff is requesting the City Manager have authorization to approve any future updates to the Permit- Ready ADU plans to remain in compliance with state law.
Additionally, staff has further streamlined the overall ADU review process, requiring minor updates to the ADU Guidebook as attached.
STRATEGIC PLAN OBJECTIVE
Thriving Economy
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no General Fund impact or funding implications. The total REAP 2.0 Grant amount utilized for updating the Permit-Ready ADU plans was $20,000. The City contracted with Design Path Studios for the project and expenses were covered by the approved Fiscal Year 2025/2026 Planning Division professional services account. Reimbursement would be processed by WRCOG through REAP 2.0 on a cost-recovery basis.

5 are a relatively affordable type of construction that does not require purchasing land or major new infrastructure.
Benefits of Building an ADU
ADU Guidebook - Section 1: Benefits of ADUs
This first part of this Guidebook outlines the application and review procedures for obtaining a permit to create an ADU and provides a summary of key zoning and construction standards.
From providing housing for relatives to helping pay the mortgage, many Menifee homeowners are interested in adding accessory dwelling units to their homes. An accessory dwelling unit (ADU), also known as a “mother-in-law” or “granny flat,” is an attached part of a primary dwelling or detached stand-alone structure separate from the primary dwelling unit on the same lot as an existing dwelling where the lot is zoned for single-family or multifamily use. An ADU provides complete independent living facilities for one or more persons. This includes permanent provisions for living, sleeping, eating, cooking, and sanitation, all on the same parcel as the primary, single-family dwelling. An ADU can be an efficiency unit, as defined in Section 17958.1 of Health and Safety Code, or a manufactured home, as defined in Section 18007 of the Health and Safety Code.
This Guidebook is a resource to help residents build an ADU. It provides an overview of the entire project, from getting started to pulling permits. The Guidebook provides useful information to reduce the uncertainty in what can feel like a complicated process.
People build ADUs for lots of reasons, but the most common are rental income and/or to house relatives. The concept of creating living space from unused portions of your property or home is not new. However, interest in ADUs has increased in recent years as they Rental Income Building an ADU can help homeowners pay
the mortgage via a steady stream of income.
Housing for Relatives Having an ADU allows a homeowner
with aging relatives, adult children, or reltives with special needs to live together while maintaining privacy.
Downsizing Homeowners may build an ADU for themselves
and then rent out the primary residence.
Flexible Space As homeowner needs change over time, an
ADU allows for multiple uses such as a rental, housing for relatives, as a home office.
Investment ADUs are a good investment with a reltively
short payback period that can increase a home’s resale value Community Benefits ADUs are one tool to help address
housing needs in a community. The units provide attainable or affordable workforce housing options. As private units, ADUs help diversify housing options while maintaning
community character.

6 ADU Guidebook - Section 2: Getting Started
Planning an ADU Project
ADUs come in many shapes and sizes but are always a self-contained unit that is smaller than the primary dwelling and legally part of the same property. ADUs always contain a kitchen, bathroom, and place to sleep. ADUs can range from efficiency studio units to 1200-square- foot units with multiple bedrooms. Interior conversions may include conversion of interior living space of a primary dwelling or conversion of a garage or other existing structure.
A junior accessory dwelling unit (JADU) is a residential dwelling unit that is no more than 500 square feet in area, contained entirely within an existing single-family residence, and can have separate sanitation facilities from, or shared sanitation facilities with, the existing residence.
A building permit is required to build any accessory dwelling unit.
Depending on the scope of work, your project will most likely also require electrical, plumbing, and/or mechanical permits. It is recommended that you visit the Planning and Building Divisions to talk with staff about your project while in the planning stages. Staff can help you determine if an ADU is allowed on your property and to discuss zoning standards that are applicable to your project. They can also help answer questions about the building code and applicable construction standards, and utilities.

7 The City’s Permit Ready Accessory Dwelling Unit Program is envisioned to encourage the construction of ADUs by offering property owners a selection of pre-approved ADU building plans. By choosing one of these plans, the property owner can reduce pre- construction costs and permit review times.
Zoning and Design Standards
One ADU and one JADU are allowed on residentially zoned properties that have no more than one existing or proposed single-family residential dwelling. ADUs can be built as detached (stand-alone accessory structure) or attached units (addition to an existing residence), within an existing home or accessory structure, or as a garage conversion. The City’s ADU standards allow for a range of sizes, from efficiency studios up to 1,200 sf. The zoning of your property and the size of your existing lot and house are determining factors in how large of an ADU you can build.
One parking space for each new unit is required, however, no parking is required if the new ADU is within 1/2 mile of public transit, located within a historic district, or if the unit is created within an existing structure.
To help property owners, several relief standards were created as part of new state law. Setbacks for all ADUs are now four (4’) feet from the side and rear property lines, unless there are superseding environmental or fire codes.
DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS FOR ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS
Number of units Allow up to one ADU And one JADU per single-family lot Maximum unit size Detached: 1,200 sq. ft.
Attached:1,200 sq. ft. or 50% of the floor area of the primary residence, whichever is less
Parking One parking space required unless:
• Within ½ mile of “public transit” (train station and all bus stops) • Created within the area of an existing building
• In a historic district
Front-yard setback • Same as existing primary dwelling
• No additional setback shall be required for an existing garage that is converted to an ADU
Rear and Side-yard
setback
• Same as existing primary dwelling or 4 ft., whichever is less Lot coverage • Based on existing zoning
• 800 sf of ADU is allowed by-right
Height 16’ height allowed by-right or the height limit of the underlying zoning when not applying reduced ADU setbacks
Rental An ADU cannot be rented for periods of less than 30 days Item Title: 10.6

8 Types of Construction
Timber Frame
Timber frame, or stick-built construction, is the traditional method of home construction. This method is done on-site and relies on wooden posts, beams, studs, joists, and rafters for its basic construction.
Timber framed homes often leave a portion of the wood timber exposed as part of the design aesthetic, in addition to its structural purpose.
Modular
Modular construction relies on pieces of the house or ADU being fabricated off-site, and then being delivered to the building site. The prefabricated pieces are delivered to the site and placed into position, either by hand or with a crane.
Manufactured
Manufactured construction is a process where an entire house or ADU, or sections of them, are predominantly built and assembled in factories. The entire unit, or the sections, and then transported to the building site and assembled.

9 Design Professionals
As you start the design process, one of your first considerations is what kind of professional you want to work with. Most homeowners choose to work with some type of design professional to help throughout the design and permit review process. The City recommends the use of a licensed professional, such as an architect or engineer, however, property owners with design experience can choose to manage the design themselves.
Architect
Architects provide a range of design services including full-service from the initial concept to final construction. This can include coordinating with additional consultants such as structural engineers, surveyors, or any other project related subcontractors. Architects are professionally licensed by the state and have a degree in architecture and have passed a series of licensing exams. Architects are legally responsible for the work they design.
Engineer
Engineers are involved in the design, construction, maintenance and inspection of development projects. A licensed engineer is legally responsible for the work they design. Civil or structural engineers can help determine the proper site layout and structural design for development projects.

10 Landscape Architect
Landscape architects design outdoor environments that connect our built environments to natural surroundings. This can include parks, gardens, hardscapes, and small structures. Landscape architects are professionally licensed by the state and have a degree in landscape architecture, have passed a series of licensing exams, and are legally responsible for the work they design.
Designer
Designers can come from varying backgrounds and skill sets, sometimes referred to as building designers or drafting services.
Most designers have a design-based education and work experience, and some are self-taught, but none are professionally licensed. The services designers provide are dependent upon the level of their experience in the design, engineering, and construction fields.
Surveyor
Land surveyors use exact locations to determine distances, directions, and angles between reference points or important features on a property. A licensed surveyor can verify and establish boundaries, research land records, and prepare maps and reports for development projects.

11 Design/Build
A design/build firm will design and construct your ADU. Design/build firms are usually headed by a licensed architect or contractor. There are no standards for design/build firms, so the level of services they provided vary depending on the skill set of the owner and staff. The staff is usually a collection of designers who provide design services for small scale projects.
Manufacturer
Modular and manufactured homes can be an efficient way of constructing your ADU. Manufacturers of these homes are monitored by the state of California, and a contractor is required for the on-site foundation work, utility hookups, and placement or assembly of the unit. Most manufacturers offer a variety of options for homeowners to customize their unit. This method of construction simplifies the design process and generally takes the least amount of time from conception to completion.

12 ADUs provide many benefits for the owners, the municipality, and for prospective renters. When planning to build an ADU, there are many alternatives to consider. For the use of the ADU, it is helpful to think about your short-term needs and long-term goals. For the design of the ADU, a successful project will make considerations for the location, size, and aesthetic features of the unit.
Purpose
ADUs can be adapted in many ways to meet your living situation as it changes over time. These units provide flexible space for the owners as they can be used as rental properties, home offices, or guest rooms. The size of these units is conducive to multi- generational housing, and provides an affordable option for students, adult children, parents or grandparents, and caregivers. As rental units, ADUs help diversify the housing options within the existing community, and the rental income helps owners offset their housing costs.
Renting
Renting a second unit comes with many responsibilities. It is important to have an understanding of housing law, tenant/landlord responsibilities, and building maintenance which affect rental rates, changes of use, and who lives in the unit.
The City’s ADU/JADU standards require that all rental agreements for new units must have contracts of 30 days or longer, therefore, short- term vacation rental is not an option. Owners can choose, however, to live in their ADU and rent out the primary home.

13 Neighborhood and Site Context
Lot size, community character, and design guidelines need to be considered when designing an ADU. Every property has an underlying zoning designation, and almost every neighborhood has an established lot and building pattern. Design features such as architectural styles, windows and doors, roof lines, and front porches, and the materials that make up these features, should be considered for the ADU.
Determining your zoning, lot size, and property boundaries will help guide preliminary design decisions. A property survey will provide the boundaries, lot size, and other important information. The zoning maps, designations, and standards can be attained from the City’s website
(see City Resources in Appendix) or by contacting the
Community Development Department.
The size, or massing, of your ADU should compliment the primary residence and the surrounding neighbors. The relationship, or spacing, between structures can create attractive courtyards, gardens, and private spaces. These landscape and hardscape features are also important elements that connect the ADU to the property and the neighborhood.
When an ADU is proposed in existing space, either through conversion of a garage or accessory structure, or within the house, or when an addition to an existing building is proposed, it may be helpful

Development Department - Planning and
Building Divisions. The visit provides an
opportunity to discuss the space, design,
and structural issues that may be
associated with the development of an
ADU. In order for staff to provide the best
information possible, simple site and floor
plan drawings are beneficial.
The proper location and size of your ADU,
along with the incorporation of specific
architectural and landscape elements into
the design, will ensure compatibility with
your primary home and neighborhood.
These considerations should be properly
represented within the construction
documents that will be submitted to
the City for review. Complete and
comprehensive application materials and
building plan sets will save time during
the plan check and permit process.

15 ADU Guidebook - Section 4: Permit Process
Once the preliminary layout and design of your ADU is complete, a visit to City Hall is a beneficial next step towards construction. City Staff from Planning, Building, Engineering, and Office of the Fire Marshal are available to answer your questions regarding your property, building plans, or the construction process.
City Departments
The Planning Division can provide information about your property, including the zoning and lot size, which are critical in determining the type and size of ADU you can build. A Planner can also assist you with all of the other development standards that may influence the design of your ADU.
The Building Division will ultimately issue your permit to construct and occupy your ADU. City staff can walk you through the permitting and inspection process, and provide you with a list of building codes and drawing requirements that you or your consultants will need to consider prior to applying.
The Engineering Department can help you with questions about property lines, right-of-ways, and utility and drainage easements.
Only a professional survey of your property can accurately determine where all of these boundaries lie, so it is recommended that one be conducted as part of your planning process.
ADU Application Checklist
1. One completed and signed application form.
2. One copy of the current legal description for the property involved, as recorded in the Office of the County Recorder. A copy of a grant deed of each property involved will suffice.
3. If any of the properties involved do not abut a public street, a copy of appropriate documentation of legal access (e.g. recorded easement) for said property shall be provided.
4. Copy of Exhibit “A” (Site Plan). The exhibit must also include the information described in the Accessory Dwelling Unit Matrix.
5. A copy of building floor plans (Exhibit “C”) and elevations (Exhibit “B”) showing the proposed ADU building.
6. A minimum of three (3) ground-level photographs (color prints) clearly showing the whole project site. Include a locational map identifying the position from which the photo was taken and the approximate area of coverage of each
photograph.
7. Applicable fee.

16 The Office of the Fire Marshal can answer questions regarding life safety issues such as requirements for fire sprinklers, required firewall ratings, building separation, and defensible space for wildfires.
The City has many residentially zoned lots that are not served by sewer and must rely on septic systems. This is common in the Quail Valley area and rural residential areas. New septic systems require approvals and permits from the County Department of Environmental Health and Building Division. New septic systems are not allowed in certain areas of the City
(see Appendix for Quail Valley Septic
Moratorium).
Permit Application and Review
The submittal and review process is often quite complex and requires architecture and building technology knowledge and experience for a smooth review. The City’s Permit Ready ADU Plans Program (page
18) offers a selection of floor plans and styles that can be used by residents. Using one of these plans as provided will shorten the review process. Minor modifications to the plans are allowed, but may extend the review time.
All City applications are processed digitally and can be submitted on- line through the Menifee Permit Portal
(link in Appendix). On any plan
submittal, it is recommended that homeowners work with a licensed professional who can explain the requirements through each step of the permitting process.
In the application review phase, various departments will assess your project application to ensure that it meets all applicable regulations. Each department will provide review comments that may require changes to your application or design. The length of the entire process will depend on the completeness of the application, the number of reviews required, and how quickly the application is resubmitted between reviews. Most ADU applications are approved within one to three rounds of review.

18 Fees
Each ADU will require different fees and the amount will be dependent on your specific project. Typical fees include application fees, impact fees, water and sewer fees, and school fees. State ADU law has established several guidelines for fee assessment. The most prominent are that no school fees can be assessed on a unit smaller that 500 square feet, and no impact fees can be assessed on a unit of 750 square feet or less. In general, all fees will need to be paid prior to receiving a building permit.
Inspections
Your ADU will require a series of inspections to ensure that the project is being built in compliance with all building, fire, and zoning codes. Building Inspectors will check for code compliance, and assure that the ADU is being constructed according to the plans you submitted for the permits. The Planning Division may also do a final inspection to ensure that any special conditions on the project have been met. Additional inspections may also be conducted by other City Departments or agencies.

19 Permit Ready ADU Program
The Menifee Permit Ready ADU Program provides is a series of eight, pre-reviewed, code-compliant ADU construction plans that can be attained online or from City Hall for free. The program helps the City meet strategic plan goals to create diverse housing options throughout the City by encouraging the construction of ADUs.
Customizable options allow for a variety of exterior materials and door and window fenestrations to express individual owners’ tastes while respecting community character. These options reduce preconstruction fees for residents and shortens the review process for everyone.
The City selected the architecture and planning firm of Design Path Studio to prepare the Permit Ready ADU Plans and this ADU Guidebook. Design Path Studio was tasked with preparing floor plan options for a studio, a one-bedroom, a two-bedroom, and a three- bedroom option, with two floor plans for each option. Each set of floor plans provides two architectural styles with porch variations, and provides a checklist of options designed to make customizing the exterior easy for owners.
Residents can download digital copies of the full sets of plans from the City’s ADU webpage
(link in Appendix). Residents will need to
have a site plan prepared to submit along with their selected plan set and complete ADU application.

CITY OF MENIFEE
SUBJECT: 2025 Menifee Police Department’s Annual Military Equipment Use Report
MEETING DATE: June 3, 2026
TO: Mayor and City Council
PREPARED BY: Paul Barbieri, Lieutenant
REVIEWED BY: Dave Gutierrez, Acting Police Chief
APPROVED BY: Armando G. Villa, City Manager
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Affirm the continued use of City of Menifee Municipal Code (MMC) Section 11.05 and Menifee Police Department Policy No. 706, providing approval, acquisition, and reporting requirements of military equipment; and
2.Receive and file the Menifee Police Department’s Annual Military Equipment Use Report for 2025 and determine the report complies with the standards of approval, as required by Assembly Bill 481 (AB481).
DISCUSSION
On September 30, 2021, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed AB481, which became effective January 1, 2022. The bill required law enforcement agencies to adopt a Military Equipment Use Policy. AB481 designates certain law enforcement equipment as “military equipment” and requires oversight from a governing body for their purchase and use. In the City of Menifee, the City Council serves as the governing body responsible for overseeing the Menifee Police Department’s use of such equipment.
Pursuant to AB481, the City Council is required to annually review and affirm the continued use of MMC Section 11.05 and receive an annual military equipment report.
The “military equipment” acquired by the Menifee Police Department (MPD), as defined by AB481, along with the anticipated acquisitions for the 2026 calendar year, are outlined in the attached Military Equipment Use Report. Based on this report, the City Council is asked to determine whether the continued use of each type of military equipment meets the approval criteria outlined in MMC Section 11.05, which include:

1. The military equipment is necessary because there is no reasonable alternative that can achieve the same objective of officer and civilian safety.
2. The proposed military equipment use policy will safeguard the public's welfare, safety, civil rights, and civil liberties.
3. If purchasing military equipment, the equipment is reasonably cost effective compared to available alternatives that can achieve the same objective of officer and civilian safety.
4. Prior military equipment use complied with the Military Equipment Use Policy that was in effect at the time, or if prior uses did not comply with the accompanying Military Equipment Use Policy, corrective action has been taken to remedy nonconforming uses and ensure future compliance.
In accordance with AB481, the Policy has been available for public review on the MPD’s website over the past year. The report for 2025 was added to the Department’s website and made accessible to the public on April 1, 2026. Both documents are included as attachments to this staff report.
The report presented for the City Council’s review meets the requirements of AB481 and MMC Section 11.05. It provides a comprehensive overview of the Department’s use, acquisition, costs, internal audits, complaints, and itemized reporting of military equipment over the past year.
Additionally, the Report reinforces the MPD’s ongoing commitment to transparency and accountability with both the community and governing bodies.

PREFACE
The Menifee Police Department retains and utilizes a wide variety of equipment that falls under the definition of AB 481. This equipment is used to assist the Menifee Police Department in its ultimate mission which is the preservation of life.
The Menifee Police Department recognizes critical incidents are unpredictable and dynamic in nature. The retention of this equipment alone does not warrant its use for every incident. The equipment listed in this report assists with the safe and swift resolution of these incidents.
Policy and procedure dictate when the equipment may be deployed in the field, how it may be used, and which officers are authorized to use it. However, not all situations can be predicted. The need for the incident commander, on- scene supervisor, or officers to deploy and utilize the equipment in a manner not outlined within policy or procedure may be necessary for the preservation of life in a rapidly evolving incident.
Further, incident commanders, supervisors, officers, and specific specialized units can authorize the use of equipment for each specific incident based on the totality of the circumstances.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On September 30, 2021, the Governor of the State of California approved AB 481 requiring law enforcement agencies to obtain approval of the applicable governing body by adoption of a military equipment use policy. The department is required to seek City Council approval of their military equipment use procedure by ordinance at a regular open meeting prior to taking certain actions relating to the funding, acquisition, or use of military equipment, as defined.
The bill allows the governing body to approve the funding, acquisition, or use of military equipment within its jurisdiction only if it determines that the military equipment meets specified standards. The ordinance is subject to an annual City Council review to determine whether, based on an annual military equipment report, the standards outlined in the approving ordinance have been met. The City Council may renew the authorizing ordinance, disapprove authorization for particular military equipment where standards have not been met, or require modifications to the military equipment us e procedure to address any non-compliance with standards.
Finally, the bill requires the publication of the military equipment use procedure and the annual military/specialized equipment report on the department’s website. The military equipment use procedure must be posted on the website at least 30 days prior to the Council meeting.
Military equipment use was recorded by the Menifee Police Department for this report from January 1, 2025, to December 31, 2025, in compliance with the passage of AB 481 and corresponding Menifee City ordinance 2022-339.

Annual Military Equipment Report in accordance with annual reporting requirements outlined in AB 481 and Government Code 7072:
Summary of Use and Purpose of Use per Government Code § 7072(a)(1):
Certain military equipment described in the included Summary of Military Equipment List was deployed in a variety of incidents and calls for service during this reporting period.
Examples of such incidents include the deployment of the Lenco BEAR -CAT during a call involving a male subject armed with a firearm, actively discharging the firearm in his garage.
The BEAR-CAT was utilized to safely approach the subject, providing a secure position for Patrol Officers to communicate with the individual in crisis. This safe approach for the responding officers , ultimately result ed in the subject surrendering and being taken into custody.
Additionally, department drones are frequently employed during searches for suspects evading capture. The Avata 2 drones, acquired in the 2024 calendar year, have been instrumental in searching buildings and ex teriors while officers are actively pursuing suspects. These drones, equipped with cameras, offer valuable visual intelligence in environments that may be too dangerous for officers to enter due to the risk of attack.
The information they provide helps officers assess the layout of a building and monitor movement in real time. This live feed enables officers to develop more effective entry plans, maximizing the chances of a successful operation while minimizing the risk of injury to both officers and suspects.
The Drone First Responder (DFR) program was launched in December 2025. Since its inception the DFR program is able to respond to calls for service, any time of the day with limited delay. The DFR program is able to provide live video feed and intelligence to responding patrol officers, safely and efficiently. Since being introduced the DFR has had 102 flights, and during the reporting period of January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025. The departments’ Mavic and Matrice drones, which are available to personnel in the field were deployed 97 times on various calls for service.
Summary of Complaints per Government Code § 7072(a)(2):
The department received no complaints regarding the use of military equipment during this reporting period.
Summary of Internal Audits or Policy Violations per Government Code § 7072(a)(3):
No policy violations were noted related to military/specialized equipment deployment internally or by citizen complaint.

2025 Equipment and Procurement Summary:
During the 2025 calendar year, the Menifee Police Department purchased one Skydio X10 drone to be incorporated into the Drone as First Responder (DFR) program. This drone offers a flight time of approximately 4 0 minutes per battery and is capable of rapidly responding to emergency situations, providing real-time aerial data to first responders prior to their arrival on scene. The Skydio X10 is equipped to capture both images and videos, assess the situation, and relay crucial information such as hazards, traffic conditions, or the presence of victims. This capability allows emergency person nel to make more informed decisions, improves response times, and enhances the overall safety of department operations.
Throughout 2025, the department undertook the replenishment of its stock of smoke and diversionary devices, replacing units that had either expired or were expended during training and operational activities. During the same year, SWAT operators deployed diversionary dev ices in the execution of a high- risk narcotics search warrant. Officers positioned at the rear of the residence strategically utilized multiple devices to create a diversion for the occupants, while operators at the front initiated a breach and made entry.
This coordinated use of diversionary devices enabled the team to enter the residence and swiftly detain the occupants before they could regain composure. The tactic proved highly effective in ensuring the safety of both officers and occupants, minimizing the need for force while overcoming any resistance encountered.
Future Procurement Requests:
The department plans to procure four additional Defense Technology 40mm LMTS single launchers, priced at approximately $1,400 per unit, and four additional PepperBall Tac-SA launchers, priced at approximately $1,000 per unit. This acquisition will help ensure the availability and use of these tools by all patrol officers during their shifts.
The department plans to procure 2 Sig Sauer Rattler .300 Blackout caliber, short barreled, suppressed r ifles. The Sig Sauer Rattler platform has a more compact maneuverability, specifically in close quarters , vehicle borne operations, hallways and stairwells. It has particularly effective ballistic characteristics with an effective standoff distance to approximately 150 yards, while remaining effective at close ranges. The subsonic and suppressed variant increases the survivability of an operators hearing in close quarter environments should it be deployed. Furthermore , there is less over penetration risk of a .300 BLK versus the standard .223 or 5.56 cartridge. The estimated cost of these rifles is approximately $3,436 per unit.

The department was recently approved by the Menifee City Council to enter into a lease agreement with The Naval Surface Warfare Crane Division to lease Night Vision binoculars for the Menifee Police Department SWAT team. The intent of the lease agreement is for six units of PVS-15 style, dual tube night vision systems. The intent of this optic loan program is to enhance the nighttime mission effectiveness of the Menifee SWAT team in a variety of missions to include high risk warrant service, barricaded subjects, fugitive apprehension, hostage rescues and search and rescue operations. The ability to better operate in low light environments seeks to enhance public safety and further the commitment to serving the city of Menifee. The cost per unit is $300 per year to cover the equipment, repair and replacements.
The department further seeks to expand the patrol drone program by purchasing two additional DJI Matrice 4T drones to enhance the response of the existing program and serve various other areas of the city of Menifee. Included in this expansion, is the desire to purchase additional Avata 2 interior drones to be readily available and deployable by Patrol Officers. The use of these drones has proven to enhance officer safety by allowing for a preliminary search of a location, prior to officers physically entering.

1. Adopt a resolution approving the Fiscal Year 2026/2027 list of projects funded by the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 under Senate Bill 1; and
2. Authorize the Public Works Director, or designee, to submit the required list of projects and accompanying resolution to the California Transportation Commission (CTC).
DISCUSSION
Senate Bill 1 (SB 1), the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 (Chapter 5, Statutes of 2017), was passed by the Legislature and signed into law by the Governor in April 2017 to address the significant multi-modal transportation funding shortfalls statewide. SB 1 is funded through increases in certain fuel excise taxes, sales taxes, and vehicle registration fees and is then deposited into the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Act (RMRA) account. A percentage of RMRA funds are continuously apportioned to eligible cities and counties by the State Controller pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (h) of Section 2032 of the Streets and Highway Code (SHC) for basic road maintenance, rehabilitation, and critical safety projects on local streets and roads.
SHC Section 2034(a)(1) requires that prior to receiving an apportionment of RMRA funds in a fiscal year, the City must adopt a list of all projects proposed to be supported by the RMRA. This list must be adopted via resolution by City Council at a regular public meeting and must include a description and the location of each proposed project, a proposed schedule for the project’s completion, and the estimated useful life of improvement.
If the City fails to submit the required list of projects and resolutions, funds that were allocated to the City would be redistributed to other agencies. For Fiscal Year (FY) 2026/2027, the City is estimated to receive approximately $3,235,597 in RMRA funds. These funds are proposed to be Item Title: 10.8

DISCUSSION
The Quail Valley Nature Park is set to be the first City-maintained public park in the Quail Valley Community. This nature themed park spans 10.45 acres and would include interpretive play trails, multipurpose field, outdoor fitness area, gathering space, parking lot, fountain with bottle refill station, and a myriad of walking trails with lighted bollards. In May 2025, ownership of the property was transferred to the City by the Canyon Heights Homeowners Association to be owned and maintained by the City as a public park. The development of Quail Valley Nature Park is a vital step in meeting key objectives outlined in the City's Parks Master Plan and General Plan. The park enhances Menifee’s ability to reach national park access standards by providing at least five acres of parkland per 1,000 residents and ensuring all residents have access to a public park within five miles.
Funds for development of a park in Quail Valley were approved as part of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2024/2025 Capital Improvement Program (CIP24-16). On October 7, 2024, the Community Services Department received notification that its grant application under the Outdoor Recreation Item Title: 10.9

B. The term “Director” as used herein means the Director of the National Park Service, or any representative lawfully delegated the authority to act for such Director.
C. The term “Secretary” as used herein means the Secretary of the Interior, or any representative lawfully delegated the authority to act for such Secretary.
D. The term “State” as used herein means the State, Territory, or District of Columbia that is a party to the project agreement, and, where applicable, the political subdivision or public agency to which funds are to be subawarded pursuant to this agreement.
Wherever a term, condition, obligation, or requirement refers to the State, such term, condition, obligation, or requirement shall also apply to the recipient political subdivision or public agency, except where it is clear from the nature of the term, condition, obligation, or requirement that it is to apply solely to the State. For purposes of these provisions, the terms “State,” “grantee,” and “recipient” are deemed synonymous.
E. The term “Land and Water Conservation Fund” or “LWCF” as used herein means the Financial Assistance to States section of the LWCF Act (Public Law 88-578, 78 Stat 897, codified at 54 U.S.C. § 2003), which is administered by the NPS.
F. The term “Manual” as used herein means the Land and Water Conservation Fund State Assistance Program Manual, whichever Volume is active at the start date of this award.
G. The term “project” as used herein means a Land and Water Conservation Fund grant which is subject to the grant agreement and/or its subsequent amendments.
Part II - Continuing Assurances
The parties to the grant agreement specifically recognize that accepting LWCF assistance for the project creates an obligation to maintain the property described in the agreement and supporting application documentation consistent with the LWCF Act and the following requirements.
Further, it is the acknowledged intent of the parties hereto that recipients of LWCF assistance will use monies granted hereunder for the purposes of this program, and that assistance granted from the LWCF will result in a net increase, commensurate at least with the Federal cost-share, in a participant's outdoor recreation.
It is intended by both parties hereto that the LWCF assistance will be added to, rather than replace or be substituted for, State and/or local outdoor recreation funds.

2 A. The State agrees, as recipient of the LWCF assistance, that it will meet the LWCF General Provisions, and the terms and provisions as contained or referenced in, or attached to, the NPS grant agreement and that it will further impose these terms and provisions upon any political subdivision or public agency to which funds are subawarded pursuant to the grant agreement. The State also agrees that it shall be responsible for compliance with the terms and provisions of the agreement by such a political subdivision or public agency and that failure by such political subdivision or public agency to so comply shall be deemed a failure by the State to comply.
B. The State agrees that the property described in the grant agreement and depicted on the signed and dated project boundary map made part of that agreement is being acquired or developed with LWCF assistance, or is integral to such acquisition or development, and that, without the approval of the Secretary, it shall not be converted to other than public outdoor recreation use but shall be maintained in public outdoor recreation in perpetuity or for the term of the lease in the case of property leased from a federal agency. The Secretary shall approve such conversion only if it is found to be in accord with the then existing statewide comprehensive outdoor recreation plan and only upon such conditions deemed necessary to assure the substitution of other recreation properties of at least equal fair market value and of reasonably equivalent usefulness and location (54 U.S.C. 200305(f)(3)). The LWCF post-completion compliance regulations at 36 C.F.R. Part 59provide further requirements. The replacement land then becomes subject to LWCF protection. The approval of a conversion shall be at the sole discretion of the Secretary, or her/his designee.
Prior to the completion of this project, the State and the Director may mutually agree to alter the area described in the grant agreement and depicted in the signed and dated project boundary map to provide the most satisfactory public outdoor recreation unit, except that acquired parcels are afforded LWCF protection as Fund reimbursement is provided.
In the event the NPS provides LWCF assistance for the acquisition and/or development of property with full knowledge that the project is subject to reversionary rights and outstanding interests, conversion of said property to other than public outdoor recreation use as a result of such right or interest being exercised will occur. In receipt of this approval, the State agrees to notify the NPS of the potential conversion as soon as possible and to seek approval of replacement property in accord with the conditions set forth in these provisions and the program regulations. The provisions of this paragraph are also applicable to: leased properties developed with LWCF assistance where such lease is terminated prior to its full term due to the existence of provisions in such lease known and agreed to by the NPS; and properties subject to other outstanding rights and interests that may result in a conversion when known and agreed to by the NPS.
C. The State agrees that the benefit to be derived by the United States from the full compliance by the State with the terms of this agreement is the preservation, protection, and the net increase in the quality and quantity of public outdoor recreation facilities and resources which are available to the people of the State and of the United States, and such benefit exceeds to an immeasurable and unascertainable extent the amount of money furnished by the United States by way of assistance under the terms of this agreement. The State agrees that payment by the State to the United States of an Item Title: 10.9
Land and Water Conservation Fund Grant
Item Page Number: 6
Menifee Mayor and City Council
June 3, 2026
Page
212 of 1080
3 amount equal to the amount of assistance extended under this agreement by the United States would be inadequate compensation to the United States for any breach by the State of this agreement.
The State further agrees, therefore, that the appropriate remedy in the event of a breach by the State of this agreement shall be the specific performance of this agreement or the submission and approval of a conversion request as described in Section II.B above.
D. The State agrees to comply with the policies and procedures set forth in the Manual.
Provisions of said Manual are incorporated into and made a part of the project grant agreement.
E. The State agrees that the property and facilities described in the grant agreement shall be operated and maintained as prescribed by Manual requirements and published post-completion compliance regulations (36 C.F.R. Part 59).
F. The State agrees that a notice of the grant agreement shall be recorded in the public property records (e.g., registry of deeds or similar) of the jurisdiction in which the property is located, to the effect that the property described and shown in the scope of the grant agreement and the signed and dated project boundary map made part of the agreement, has been acquired or developed with LWCF assistance and that it cannot be converted to other than public outdoor recreation use without the written approval of the Secretary as described in Part II.B. above.
G. Nondiscrimination
1. By signing the LWCF agreement, the State certifies that it will comply with all Federal laws relating to nondiscrimination as outlined in Section V of the Department of the Interior Standard Award Terms and Conditions.
2. The State shall not discriminate against any person on the basis of residence, except to the extent that reasonable differences in admission or other fees may be maintained on the basis of residence as set forth in 54 U.S.C. § 200305(i) and the Manual.
Part III - Project Assurances
A. Project Application
1. The Application for Federal Assistance bearing the same project number as the Grant Agreement and associated documents is by this reference made a part of the agreement.
2. The State possesses legal authority to apply for the grant, and to finance and construct the proposed facilities. A resolution, motion or similar action has been duly adopted or passed authorizing the filing of the application, including all understandings and assurances contained herein, and directing and authorizing the person identified as the official representative of the State to act in connection with the application and to provide such additional information as may be required.

10. The State will assist the NPS in its compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as amended (42 U.S.C. §4321 et seq.) and the CEQ regulations (40 C.F.R. § 1500-1508), by adhering to procedural requirements while considering the consequences of this project on the human environment.

K. Build America, Buy America
As required by Section 70914 of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (also known as the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act), P.L. 117-58, on or after May 14, 2022, none of the funds under a federal award that are part of Federal financial assistance program for infrastructure may be obligated for a project unless all of the iron, steel, manufactured products, and construction materials used in the project are produced in the United States, unless subject to an approved waiver. The requirements of this section must be included in all subawards, including all contracts and purchase orders for work or products under this program.
Recipients of an award of Federal financial assistance are hereby notified that none of the funds provided under this award may be used for a project for infrastructure unless:
1. all iron and steel used in the project are produced in the United States--this means all manufacturing processes, from the initial melting stage through the application of coatings, occurred in the United States;
2. all manufactured products used in the project are produced in the United States — this means the manufactured product was manufactured in the United States; and the cost of the components of the manufactured product that are mined, produced, or manufactured in the United States is greater than 55 percent of the total cost of all components of the manufactured product, unless another standard for determining the minimum amount of domestic content of the manufactured product has been established under applicable law or regulation; and
3. all construction materials are manufactured in the United States— this means that all manufacturing processes for the construction material occurred in the United States.
The Buy America preference only applies to articles, materials, and supplies that are consumed in, incorporated into, or affixed to an infrastructure project. As such, it does not apply to tools, equipment, and supplies, such as temporary scaffolding, brought to the construction site and removed at or before the completion of the infrastructure project. Nor does a Buy America preference apply to equipment and furnishings, such as movable chairs, desks, and portable computer equipment, that are used at or within Item Title: 10.9
Land and Water Conservation Fund Grant
Item Page Number: 14
Menifee Mayor and City Council

11 the finished infrastructure project but are not an integral part of the structure or permanently affixed to the infrastructure project.
For further information on the Buy America preference, please visit www.doi.gov/grants/BuyAmerica. Additional information can also be found at the White House Made in America Office website: www.whitehouse.gov/omb/management/made- inamerica/.
Waivers
When necessary, recipients may apply for, and the Department of the Interior (DOI) may grant, a waiver from these requirements, subject to review by the Made in America Office. The DOI may waive the application of the domestic content procurement preference in any case in which it is determined that one of the below circumstances applies:
1. Non-availability Waiver: the types of iron, steel, manufactured products, or construction materials are not produced in the United States in sufficient and reasonably available quantities or of a satisfactory quality;
2. Unreasonable Cost Waiver: the inclusion of iron, steel, manufactured products, or construction materials produced in the United States will increase the cost of the overall project by more than 25 percent; or
3. Public Interest Waiver: applying the do mestic content procurement preference would be inconsistent with the public interest.
There may be instances where an award qualifies, in whole or in part, for an existing DOI general applicability waiver as described at:
www.doi.gov/grants/BuyAmerica/GeneralApplicabilityWaivers.
If the specific financial assistance agreement, infrastructure project, or non-domestic materials meets the criteria of an existing general applicability waiver within the limitations defined within the waiver, the recipient is not required to request a separate waiver for non-domestic materials.
If a general applicability waiver does not already apply, and a recipient believes that one of the above circumstances applies to an award, a request to waive the application of the domestic content procurement preference may be submitted to the financial assistance awarding officer in writing. Waiver requests shall include the below information. The waiver shall not include any Privacy Act information, sensitive data, or proprietary information within their waiver request.

CITY OF MENIFEE
SUBJECT: Community Development Department Request for
Qualification On-Call List
MEETING DATE: June 3, 2026
TO: Mayor and City Council
PREPARED BY: Molly Binnall, Management Analyst II
REVIEWED BY: Orlando Hernandez, Community Development Director APPROVED BY: Armando G. Villa, City Manager
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Approve the Community Development Department’s On-Call List for Fiscal Years 2026/27, 2027/28 and 2028/29 for various professional Planning and Building services.
DISCUSSION
The City’s Community Development Department is responsible for review of all development activity, as well as its conformance with the City’s vision and goals for community development, land use as established in the General Plan and Development Code, and safe construction practices as outlined in the current Building Code. The workload of the City’s Community Development Department reflects the development pace of the City of Menifee as one of Southern California’s fastest growing communities. Accordingly, and when deemed necessary, staff efforts are supplemented with the use of professional consultants to ensure responsiveness and thorough plan reviews and inspections of all development activity transpiring within the City.
The City has prepared a multi-disciplinary Request for Qualifications (RFQ) (RFQ No. 2026-02) for various services. As the Community Development Department encompasses both the Planning and Building Divisions, the RFQ was solicited for on-call services for both divisions.
Planning Division services included:
- General Planning Related Development and Land Use Project Review Services - Landscape Design Plan Review Services
- Preparation and/or Peer Review: Environmental Services - Municipal Financial Review Services (Fiscal Impact Analysis) Item Title: 10.10

Building Division services included:
- Plan Review Services
- Permit Technician Services
- Building Inspection Services
The intent of the RFQ was to establish an updated On-call List of qualified consultants available for the period of Fiscal Years (FY) 2026/27, 2027/28 and 2028/29, with an option to extend the list an additional two FYs (2029/30 and 2030/31). The last time the City completed an RFQ process for such services for the Community Development Department was in 2022.
In accordance with Assembly Bill 339, labor groups were provided the required 45-day notification of the pending RFQ release on January 27, 2026. The RFQ was posted/released on March 13, 2026, with a submittal deadline of April 13, 2026. A total of 43 consulting firms responded.
Comprised of internal Community Development staff, two Selection Committees were established to review the proposals. Planning staff reviewed proposals that selected disciplines for the Planning Division, and Building staff reviewed proposals that selected disciplines for the Building Division. If a consultant identified disciplines for both Divisions, both Selection Committees reviewed the proposal. The Selection Committees evaluated and ranked each proposal on the following criteria:
- Experience / Qualifications of the Firm and Key Personnel - Work Plan Methodology / Project Approach
- Reference Review / Client Satisfaction
- Cost Proposal
- Quality of Responsiveness of Proposal
See the attached document for the selected firms.
It is important to note that inclusion on the Community Development Department’s On-call List does not guarantee award of any future contract(s). The City reserves the right to issue separate RFQs or Request for Proposals (RFP) as deemed necessary for specific services and/or projects.
Once the On-call List is established, the City would enter into agreements with select firms on the On-call List, and the applicable agreements requiring City Council approval would be brought to the City Council in accordance with the standard procurement policies.
STRATEGIC PLAN OBJECTIVE
Thriving Economy
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with the recommended action. Future agreements requiring the City Council’s approval, would consist of recoverable and non-recoverable funding, with the majority being recoverable (paid by developers). Any proposed agreements would be funded as Item Title: 10.10

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Approve and authorize the City Manager to execute a Memorandum of Understanding with Golden State Concessions and Catering, Inc., and the Inland Empire Community Foundation to host the Independence Celebration Beer Garden on an as-needed basis through June 30, 2031.
DISCUSSION
The Menifee Independence Celebration is a time-honored community event hosted the Saturday prior to the 4th of July and in partnership with the Lake Menifee Women’s Club. Inviting an average of 13,000 residents and visitors each year, the Independence Celebration remains one of the City’s most well-attended and anticipated events. The celebration reflects strong volunteer involvement, interdepartmental coordination, and the support of many local businesses and non- profit organizations as a shared commitment to fostering community pride.
