CITY OF MENIFEE
SUBJECT: Developer Funded California Environmental Quality Act Consultant Quarterly Update
MEETING DATE: August 19, 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. Receive and file the fourth quarterly update on executed California Environmental Quality Act consultant contracts for Fiscal Year 2025/2026.

DISCUSSION
At the City Council meeting held on June 18, 2025, Council adopted Resolution No. 25-1596 to adopt the biennial budget for Fiscal Years (FY) 2025/2026 and 2026/2027, which included annual budget appropriations of $1,500,000 in expenditures and revenues specific to the environmental consulting services for privately funded development projects as part of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) process. Additionally, per Resolution No. 21-1073, the City Manager is authorized to execute all professional service agreements with approved environmental firms to CEQA consulting services. At the initial part of each individual project, a professional services agreement and developer reimbursement agreement is executed defining the scope of work, compensation amount, and required deposit payments from the developer.

It is important to note that all agreement costs for environmental consulting services related to private development are paid for through developer deposits, and that no agreements will be executed prior to receiving the appropriate deposit from the applicant.

A summary of the CEQA contracts that have been executed to date are attached to this report as previously requested by the City Council. A total of 32 contracts have been executed in FY 2025/2026, for a cumulative value of $2,166,545.

Construction is approximately 80% complete and is on schedule, with project completion anticipated in Fall 2026. Once completed, the state-of-the-art bridge will mitigate seasonal flooding during rain events and provide reliable north/south access on Bradley Road, improving safety by eliminating motorists traveling through moving stormwater and help ensure faster response times for first responders serving the Menifee community.

The City’s updated 2025-2030 Pavement Management Program (PMP) was approved by the Council in February 2026. Staff continues to move forward with implementation of annual slurry and roadway resurfacing projects. In June 2026, the second phase of the FY 2025/2026 Local AC Resurfacing project began construction in the Lazy Creek area. The crack seal portion of the FY 2025/2026 Slurry Seal Project was completed May 2026, with the slurry portion of the project anticipated in early Spring, 2027. Design work for the Mapes Road and Antelope Resurfacing projects continues to move forward with both projects expected to begin construction in FY2026/2027.

Unique Identity
The Placemaking, Unique Identity and Tourism Master Plan (adopted at the November 5, 2025 Council meeting) is now guiding implementation planning for future projects, programming, partnerships and development initiatives.

The regional events assessment was completed as part of Placemaking, Unique Identity and Tourism Master Plan, and Staff has issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for Event Management and Production Services to program events and large concerts at the Central Park Amphitheater.

The first signature event is anticipated to take place during FY 2026/2027 to coincide with the opening of the Central Park Amphitheater.

The team also provided several project updates on Bradley Bridge, the Paloma Pedestrian Bridge, and the installation of Menifee's new Christmas Tree. Communications staff also transform content from these videos into engaging posts for the City's YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram social media platforms.

Website Upgrade: The City released a Request for Proposals (RFP) this spring for a redesign and replacement of the City’s website and mobile application. A consultant has been selected, and the project will commence in the next reporting period (July 2026).

Park Amenities/Enhancements: The City is dedicated to developing unique park amenities, facilities, and programming to serve the community's diverse needs in alignment with the Parks Master Plan and Placemaking, Unique Identity and Tourism Master Plan. Several projects have been completed or are underway to help meet those needs.

Following the completion of the Civic Center Parking Lot project (CIP 22-24) in 2025, Central Park improvements continue to move forward. The Paloma Wash Pedestrian Bridge (CIP 20-13) was completed in June 2026, and the installation of the bowl at the Central Park Amphitheater project (CIP 19-15) is anticipated during FY 2026/2027.

In anticipation of the future opening of the Central Park Amphitheater, activation of the Civic Plaza has begun. Installation of permanent event lighting, a Verdin Street Clock (donated by the Rotary Club) and the City’s 30-foot Christmas tree was completed during this reporting period. Event programming has also begun with the return of the Menifee Trading Post Night Markets at Central Park.

The 1.94-acre Sun City Greenspace will be Sun City's first City-maintained park and will feature walking paths and a pollinator garden. The Request for Bids for construction of the greenspace is underway and expected to be awarded Fall/Winter 2026.

The Quail Valley Nature Park will be the first City-maintained park in the Quail Valley community and is partially grant-funded through the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF). The funding agreement for $750,000 was received in June 2026 in addition to the notification of potential supplemental funding available from LWCF to support environmental impact fees and playground shade sails in the amount of $307,214 for a total adjusted award amount of $1,057,214.

Thriving Economy
Business Development: The City’s Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) was approved and adopted during this reporting period, and staff are now utilizing it to evaluate the City’s workforce needs, consider opportunities for strategic partnerships, and identify potential business incentive programs.

As growth continues in Menifee, the City continues to prioritize the diversification of our revenue streams. This proactive approach focuses on identifying opportunities to fund and support City operations and service needs. In support of this strategy, the City is in the process of the formation of a Public Safety Community Facilities District (CFD) to secure long-term funding for essential public safety services. Once established, the CFD will serve as a mechanism for ensuring that future residential developments fiscally support the additional impact to public safety service demands associated with community growth.

The Urban 3 Land Use Financial Analysis completed in December 2025 has advanced into Phases 2 and 3. As these next phases progress, the City will gain additional insights into land use opportunities, fiscal impacts, and infrastructure considerations to help identify priority businesses, appropriate incentive tools and strategies to attract investment that supports a diverse and sustainable economy.

During this reporting period, the City issued Certificates of Occupancy for 17 new businesses (storefronts) in the retail, commercial and industrial sectors and issued 222 new home occupation business licenses.

Community Development: When completed, the following projects under construction will help to diversify the City’s revenue streams to support municipal services and long-term financial sustainability:
Kaiser Permanente Medical building - 53,108 sq ft of medical office space Medical office of Brian Nguyen - 9,103 sq ft of medical office space Planet Fitness - 16,500 sq ft of commercial fitness space The following projects are under construction document review:
Stacked Farm - 126,211 sq ft of industrial vertical farming space Caliber Collision - 20,217 sq ft of auto repair space
Dutch Bros Coffee - 1,117 sq ft of retail space
Southwest Traders - 229,934 sq ft of industrial/warehouse space The City recently completed the streamlining of the Temporary Use Permit (TUP) review process to improve efficiency, reduce processing time, and minimize costs to the public. Staff are now able to fast-track all City and public event permits through a single, unified review process.

Safe and Vibrant Community
In its 2026 Safest Cities report, the safety advisory group Safewise again named Menifee as one of the safest cities in California (moving up one spot to #17 on the ranked list) and it is the third year in a row the City has been included in the top 20 safest California cities (#18 in 2024 and 2025). This achievement is the result of the City’s ongoing commitment to provide a safe and vibrant community.

The City Council awarded the agreement to develop a Citywide Safety Master Plan (Plan) to Kimley Horn and Associates, Inc. in January 2026, and the planning effort is well underway.

Managed by the new Strategic Programs and Initiatives department, the Plan development kicked off with a comprehensive review of existing City plans and safety documents and department interviews; the emergency response performance assessment and crime and safety metric assessment are now underway. Plan completion is anticipated for December 2026.

Emergency Management: Earlier this year, the responsibility for services previously performed by the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Specialist under the City's Cooperative Agreement with the County of Riverside transferred to the Riverside County Emergency Management Department (EMD). In April 2026, the City entered into a contract with Riverside County EMD to provide one full-time Emergency Services Coordinator (ESC).

In the next reporting period, the new ESC will assume the responsibilities of the previous EMS Specialist position while managing new strategic initiatives designed to bolster the City’s preparedness. By centralizing these efforts, the ESC position adds value through improved operational efficiency and reduced strain on existing departmental resources.

STRATEGIC PLAN OBJECTIVE
The Strategic Plan Implementation Plan Update addresses all the Strategic Plan objectives.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with the recommended action. The costs associated with the implementation of each of the Strategic Plan elements are incorporated within the City’s Operating and CIP budgets.

3 Results for the Community
We know our community has big dreams for Menifee and we want to see them come true. Menifee’s citywide Strategic Plan lays a foundation for this progress, deﬁnes our shared vision for the future and focuses City resources on ﬁve key strategic priorities: Unique Identity, Community Engagement and Social Infrastructure, Thriving Economy, Safe and Vibrant Community, and Connectivity and Mobility. These priorities, and their supporting goals and objectives, came from considerable community input and feedback. These priorities drive us toward meaningful outcomes and big steps forward on the road to reaching our collective long-term vision.

What does a strategic plan do?
Charts the Course
The Strategic Plan’s ﬁve-year timeline allows for thoughtful sequencing of initiatives. The alignment with the City’s annual budget process creates a stronger connection
between ﬁnances and operations. With the Strategic Plan as a guide, other City plans and initiatives will be built to align. In addition to priorities, goals and objectives, this plan includes performance measures for
government transparency, accountability, and
ongoing improvement.

CITY OF MENIFEE
SUBJECT: Title VI Implementation Plan Adoption
MEETING DATE: August 19, 2026
TO: Mayor and City Council
PREPARED BY: Mandy Stephens, Management Analyst
REVIEWED BY: Nick Fidler, Public Works Director
APPROVED BY: Armando G. Villa, City Manager
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

RECOMMENDED ACTION

1. Adopt a resolution adopting the Title VI Implementation Plan and authorizing the Deputy Public Works Director/City Engineer to perform the duties as the Title VI Coordinator.

DISCUSSION
Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is a federal law that prohibits recipients and sub-recipients of federal financial assistance, including government agencies, from discriminating on the basis of race, color, or national origin in their programs or activities. Compliance with Title VI is a mandatory condition of receiving and maintaining federal funding. Federal agencies are required to enforce these provisions, and the United States Department of Transportation oversees compliance for transportation-related funding.

The City’s Title VI Implementation Plan (Plan) establishes the framework for demonstrating and maintaining compliance with federal requirements. Without an adopted and implemented Title VI Plan, the City risks losing eligibility for current and future federal funding opportunities. The Plan designates a Title VI Coordinator responsible for administering compliance efforts, including:
•Providing training to staff
•Ensuring public accessibility of Title VI information, including multilingual materials •Displaying a “Notice of Rights”
•Monitoring and tracking any Title VI-related complaints •Ensuring the point to speak language card is available at all City facility front counters (Exhibit C of the Plan)
The City Manager is responsible for ensuring compliance with Title VI and related non- discrimination statutes, requiring adherence from all City employees, contractors, and agents in accordance with the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), as well as overseeing public information and outreach efforts.

The City has designated the Deputy Public Works Director/City Engineer as Title VI Coordinator.

The Title VI Coordinator has direct access to the City Manager and Department Directors to ensure effective implementation and oversight of the City’s Title VI Program. Following the adoption of the proposed resolution, the Plan will be made publicly available and posted on the City’s website.

Adoption of the Plan is essential to maintaining the City’s eligibility for federal funding. Compliance with Title VI and related non-discrimination requirements is a prerequisite for receiving funds from the Federal Highway Administration. These funds are critical to supporting the City’s infrastructure projects, including roadway maintenance and improvements. Failure to comply could result in the loss or suspension of federal funding, directly impacting the City’s ability to deliver and maintain essential infrastructure.

INTRODUCTION

CITY OF MENIFEE
The City is a recipient and sub-recipient of financial assistance from federal aid programs.

Recipients and sub-recipients of this financial assistance are required to comply with various non-discrimination laws and regulations, including Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VI). Title VI requires that “No person in the United States shall, on the grounds of race, color or national origin, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.” Other non-discrimination statutes that afford legal protection are Section 162 (a) of the Federal- Aid Highway Act of 1973 (FAA) (23 U.S.C. 324) (sex), Age Discrimination Act of 1975 (age), and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 / Americans of Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) (disability). In addition, the Civil Rights Restoration Act of 1987 defines the word “program” to make clear that discrimination is prohibited throughout an entire agency if any part of the agency receives federal financial assistance.

This document was prepared by the City of Menifee in coordination with relevant departments in compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, including new provisions detailed in U.S. Department of Transportation's FTA Circular 4702.1B, "Title VI Requirement and Guidelines for Federal Transit Administration Recipients." The City of Menifee commits to ensure that none of its activities or programs treats any part of the community any differently than another. The City expects every manager, supervisor, employee, vendor, and contractor being a sub-recipient of federal aid funds administered by the City to be aware of and apply the intent of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 in performing assigned duties.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and Federal Transportation Administration (FTA) require recipients of Federal financial assistance in FAA programs, federal-aid highway funds and federal-aid public transportation funds to prepare and implement a program to clarify roles, responsibilities and procedures established to ensure compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The City's Title VI Program outlined in this Title VI Implementation Plan focuses on fair and equitable access by the public and provides the policy direction necessary to ensure compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

All exhibits are hereby incorporated into the Plan by this reference.

Public Participation Plan (PPP)

CITY OF MENIFEE

PURPOSE
The City of Menifee’s Public Participation Plan (PPP) is organized to work in concert with Title VI Plan and is the Limited English Proficiency Plan (LEP). The purpose of the PPP is to establish procedures that allow for, encourage, and monitor participation of all citizens living and working in the City, and users of public transportation. Special attention will be paid to soliciting input from low-income and minority communities that are traditionally underrepresented.

Several outreach techniques will be used to solicit input for the PPP. The various techniques will be used as applicable at neighborhood and community meetings. Cognizant of individuals with LEP, material will be developed at a fourth grade reading level and translated in Spanish and other languages upon request.

GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
The City’s PPP has a single comprehensive goal: to allow the public opportunities throughout the planning process to influence decisions. In order to meet this goal, the City has established the following objectives:

1. Identify the most appropriate methods for reaching the public.

2. Determine whether there are any barriers to public participation within the City area (i.e. non-English language or other cultural barriers).

3. Hold meetings in locations which are accessible and reasonably welcoming to all area residents, including but not limited to low-income and minority members of the public.

4. Keep the public informed through effective channels of communication and allow input from those not likely to attend meetings.

5. Work to actively involve the public in programs, policy-making and projects.

6. Ensure that the City’s public involvement plan is dynamic and responsive.

7. Use various illustrative visualization techniques to convey the information including but not limited to charts, graphs, photos, maps and the internet.

IDENTIFICATION OF STAKEHOLDERS
Stakeholders are those who are either directly, or indirectly, affected by a plan, or the recommendations of that plan. Those who may be adversely affected, or who may be denied benefit of a plan’s recommendation(s), are of particular interest in the identification of specific stakeholders. Stakeholders are broken down into several groups: general citizens, minority and low-income persons, public agencies, private organizations and businesses.

PERFORMANCE METHODS
On an annual basis, the City will undertake an internal review of its public participation plan’s effectiveness of engaging the public, by examining criteria, such as:
• Records from public meetings,
• Records of responses to citizen email, and
• Input from the general public

PUBLIC PARTICIPATION PLAN (PPP)
Availability of this Plan for review will be advertised in a manner reasonably expected to reach the general public, as well as minority populations, low-income persons, and traditionally underserved populations. This could occur through outreach techniques mentioned earlier in this document. Notification to stakeholders is available in English and Spanish, and other languages upon request.

The City also receives funding from the Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC) that are applied towards the GoGo Grandparent service and Care-A-Van. The City offers transportation workshops at Kay Ceniceros Senior Center to provide information on all the options available for free/low-cost transportation for seniors and disable residents through the City’s Specialized Transit Program.

This Plan is organized to work in concert with the PPP, the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) and the City of Menifee Language Access Plan for Limited English Proficiency (LEP) individuals.

The purpose of this Plan is to establish procedures that allow for, encourage, and monitor participation of all citizens living and working in the City, and users of public transportation.

Executive Order 13166, “Improving Access to Services for Persons with Limited English Proficiency” requires that federal agencies work to ensure that the recipients of federal financial assistance provide meaningful access to their LEP applicants and beneficiaries.

As such, local agencies should ensure that federally funded programs and activities normally provided in English are accessible to LEP people. Each local agency shall perform an annual assessment to determine if modifications are needed to their programs and activities to ensure meaningful access by LEP people. The assessment which is referred to as a “Four- Factor” analysis is based on the following factors:

1. The number or proportion of LEP people eligible to be served or likely to be encountered.

2. The frequency of LEP contacts.

3. The nature and importance of the programs, services, or activities provided by the City of Menifee.

4. Resources available for LEP people.

The City of Menifee is 78 miles south of Los Angeles and 74 miles north of San Diego and has a population of approximately 117,042 (US Census: American Community Survey 2020-2024 5- Year Estimate). Of the 117,042 residents, approximately 24.4% of the residents are Spanish speaking, and 1.1% of the residents are Other Indo-European Language speaking.

TITLE VI INFORMATION DISSEMINATION
To ensure that Title VI and related Civil Rights information is readily available to the public, the City will develop public notices consisting of posters, flyers, complaint forms and “I Speak” cards that are available in English, Spanish, and Asian and Pacific Island languages. The languages selected for the informational materials were based upon language data provided from the US Census; see Table A above. Said flyers and posters will be placed in the City Hall lobby, in a highly visible and accessible location. The public notices will also be available for viewing on the City’s website, at http://www.menifee.gov.ca/TitleVI.

Additionally, City staff will include the provisions indicated in the “Administering Agency- State Agreement for Federal-Aid Projects Master Agreement” in the Local Assistance Program Manual (LAPM) in contracts and agreements, where applicable, between the City and contractors.

The City will continue to utilize the “Local Agency Construction Contract Administration Checklist” (Exhibit 15-A of the LAPM), which confirms that DBE and labor/Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) compliance requirements are performed and documented in the project files.

Exhibit 15-A of the LAPM documents that the local agency will meet all the requirements prior to the award of a construction contract.

Lastly, the City will continue to utilize the “Resident Engineer’s Construction Contract Administration Checklist” (Exhibit 15-B of the LAPM) on federal-aid projects. The checklist assists in administering federal-aid highway construction projects and provides a record that the EEO/Wage Rate/False Statements posters are being posted at specific locations, that employee interviews will be conducted in accordance with the Labor Compliance/EEO interview form, and that DBE requirements are met. City staff will continue to submit Exhibit 15-B, along with the Award Package, shortly after award of the construction contract.

Four-Factor Analysis

1. The number or proportion of LEP people eligible to be served or likely to be encountered As shown in Table A above, the City has approximately 117,042 residents. 6,292 (5.7 %) of residents in the City are considered LEP people, with the majority of those LEP people primarily speaking Spanish (26,924; 24.4% of the community) and Other Indo-European Languages Item Title: 10.8

(1,013; 1.0% of the community). The remaining 4,727 (4.6%) of the population speak Asian and Pacific Island languages or other languages.

2. The frequency of LEP contacts
No data has been collected regarding the frequency of contact with LEP people in the City.

Based on observation from Finance Department front-counter staff, the frequency for interpretation from Spanish to English is on average twice per day, 10 times per week.

Currently the City’s Human Resources Department retains a list containing the names of all City staff which are certified interpreters for various languages. If front counter staff that speak either Spanish or Asian and Pacific Island languages are not available, City staff will reach out to a certified translator from the list. Public Works field staff do not regularly receive requests for translation through federally funded programs or projects, though the outreach components of said programs and projects typically have multi-lingual resources. Further, if translation services are needed, staff will provide the said translation in a timely manner.

3. The nature and importance of programs, services, or activities provided by the City From observation provided by Public Works staff, it is rare that translation services are requested for programs, services, or activities which are federally funded. As stated above, the front counter staff with the City’s Finance Department are the ones who most frequently encounter LEP people requesting and/or needing translation services.

Though Public Works staff has received very few requests for translation services on federally funded projects, programs, and services, staff is keenly aware that almost (5.7%) of the City’s residents are LEP people and therefore it is highly likely that LEP people will be stakeholders in any of the said projects, programs, and services. As such, when staff have encountered the need for translation services, staff have provided the services readily.

4. Resources available for LEP people
After a review of the City’s currently available resources for LEP people, the City has determined that additional supporting resources are required. The City will address the need for additional LEP resources, through the action plan listed in the next section.

Action Plan
To ensure compliance with Title VI and as informed by Executive Order 13166, the following publications and services will be made available for LEP person use:

Non-Discrimination Policy Statement
Statement shall be printed in English, Spanish, Asian and Pacific Island. Said statement will be posted in the City Hall lobby in a highly visible location.

Title VI Rights Poster
Posters shall be printed in English, Spanish, Asian and Pacific Island languages. Said posters will be posted in the City Hall lobby in a highly visible location, and additional copies will be available for the public to review and take.

I Speak Cards
I Speak Cards will be produced to easily identify interpretation and translation services needed for LEP people. Said cards will be placed at all public counters and with other Title VI information.

Title VI Webpage on City’s Website
All of the City’s Title VI resources will be posted on the City’s website at the following link:
http://www.menifee.ca.gov/TitleVI
Future Planning and Projects
Public Works will ensure that all future projects and planning documents that are federally funded utilize outreach methods that are compliant with Title VI and other related non-discriminatory assurances. The City will ensure that outreach materials are available in English, Spanish, Asian and Pacific Island languages, and that translators are readily available as necessary for any LEP people that would like to contribute or participate.

Lastly, the Title VI Coordinator will request an updated list of certified translators from the Human Resources Department every 6 months and distribute said list to those who are likely to encounter LEP people, such that a translator can be contacted the moment one is needed. To ensure continuous compliance, the City will review the Title VI Implementation Plan and Limited English Proficiency Plan regularly, but at a minimum, as new data from the US Census becomes available. As new regulations are created, the City will act promptly to update the existing plans and relevant resources.

Safe Harbor Provision
The City has adopted DOJ’s Safe Harbor Provision, which outlines circumstances that can provide a “safer harbor” for recipients regarding translation of written materials for LEP populations. The Safe Harbor Provision stipulates that, if a recipient provides written translation of vital documents for each eligible LEP language group that constitutes five percent (5%) or 1,000 persons, whichever is less, of the total population of persons eligible to be served or likely to be affected or encountered, then such action will be considered strong evidence of compliance with the recipient’s written translation obligations. Translation of non-vital documents, if needed, can be provided orally. If there are fewer than 50 persons in a language group that reaches the five percent (5%) trigger, the recipient is not required to translate vital written materials but should provide written notice in the primary language of the LEP language group of the right to receive competent oral interpretation of those written materials, free of cost.

These safe harbor provisions apply to the translation of written documents only. They do not affect the requirement to provide meaningful access to the LEP individuals though competent oral interpreters where oral language services are needed and are reasonable. A recipient may determine, based on the Four Factor Analysis, that even though a language group meets the threshold specified by the Safe Harbor Provision, written translation may not be an effective means to provide language assistance measures. For example, a recipient may determine that a large number of persons in that language group have low literacy skills in their native language and therefore require oral interpretation. In such cases, a background documentation regarding the determination shall be provided to FTA in the Title VI Program.

The City of Menifee provides translation of written materials for LEP populations that constitutes five percent (5%) as well as for those fewer than (5%) free of cost. The City of Menifee agency is in full compliance with the Title VI Safe Harbor Provision.

The Civil Rights Restoration Act of 1987 clarified the original intent of Congress, with respect to Title VI and other Non-discrimination requirements (The Age Discrimination Act of 1975, and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973), by restoring the broad, institutional-wide scope and coverage of these non- discrimination statutes and requirements to include all programs and activities of the Recipient, so long as any portion of the program is Federally assisted.

Specific Assurances
More specifically, and without limiting the above general Assurance, the Recipient agrees with and gives the following Assurances with respect to its Federally assisted programs:

SUBJECT: California Strategic Growth Council Community Resilience Centers Program Implementation Grant Submission
Authorization
MEETING DATE: August 19, 2026
TO: Mayor and City Council
PREPARED BY: Kori Jones, Senior Management Analyst
REVIEWED BY: Mariana Mitchell, Community Services Director APPROVED BY: Armando G. Villa, City Manager
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

RECOMMENDED ACTION

1. Adopt a resolution authorizing the City of Menifee to submit an application for the California Strategic Growth Council Community Resilience Centers Program Implementation Grant for the Menifee Community Center, Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Project No. 23-10; and

2. Authorize the City Manager, or their designee, to execute all necessary grant related documents, if awarded.

DISCUSSION
The future Menifee Community Center, CIP Project No. 23-10, represents one of the City's signature civic investments and will serve as a year-round destination for recreation, arts and culture, education, community engagement, and emergency preparedness. Located at the intersection of Menifee Road and La Piedra Road adjacent to the Menifee Library, the site was transferred to the City by the County of Riverside in 2023 to support future public use and expand access to community-based amenities. The facility was designed by TSK Architects in 2025 following an extensive community outreach and engagement process, resulting in a construction- ready project pending the identification of implementation funding. As shown in Image 1 on the following page, the Community Center was intentionally designed as a flexible, multi-use facility capable of meeting the City's evolving recreational, cultural, educational, and emergency response needs for decades to come. This flexibility positions the facility to serve both as a year- round community resource and as a Community Resilience Center during emergencies.

IMAGE 1 – MENIFEE COMMUNITY CENTER CONCEPT RENDERING (APRIL 29, 2025) The Community Center has been designed to support performing arts, arts education, recreation, fitness, meetings, and community events through flexible programming spaces including a visual and performing arts room, multi-purpose meeting rooms, an exercise studio, catering kitchen, office and support areas, outdoor gathering spaces, and on-site storage. In addition to its everyday community functions, the facility has been designed to serve as a Community Resilience Center capable of supporting residents during extreme weather events, power outages, wildfire smoke events, and other emergencies. The building also incorporates sustainable design principles and energy-efficient infrastructure that align with the goals of the Community Resilience Centers Program.

The Community Resilience Centers (CRC) Program, administered by the California Strategic Growth Council, provides funding for the planning, construction, and retrofit of community-serving facilities that deliver year-round community programs and services while supporting emergency response during climate-related events. Program objectives include expanding local resilience, improving emergency preparedness, fostering community partnerships, and mitigating the public health impacts associated with extreme heat and other climate-related emergencies.

The Menifee Community Center is well positioned to advance the objectives of the Community Resilience Centers Program. The Project is construction-ready, incorporates sustainable building features, provides year-round community programming, and has been intentionally designed to function as a Community Resilience Center during emergencies. To further strengthen the application, the City is developing partnerships with local nonprofit organizations and the Riverside County Workforce Development Board to expand year-round programming, workforce development opportunities, and community resilience services. The City has also committed Item Title: 10.9

funding toward development of the Community Center through CIP Project No. 23-10, demonstrating its long-term commitment to delivering this important community asset.

Approval of the attached proposed resolution authorizes the submission of an application for up to $10 million in Community Resilience Centers Program Implementation Grant funding and designates the City Manager, or designee, to execute all documents necessary to apply for and administer the grant if awarded. Approval of this item does not commit the City to accepting grant funds or appropriating additional local funding beyond existing City Council-approved appropriations for CIP Project No. 23-10.

STRATEGIC PLAN OBJECTIVE
Community Engagement and Social Infrastructure

FISCAL IMPACT
Approval of the recommended action does not have an immediate fiscal impact and does not appropriate additional funding. The Menifee Community Center project currently has approximately $4 million in previously committed funding for CIP Project No. 23-10. If awarded, staff will return to the City Council with a recommendation to accept the grant and identify any additional funding necessary to complete the project.

TO: Mayor and City Council
PREPARED BY: Christine Booker, Budgets & Grants Analyst REVIEWED BY: David Gutierrez, Police Chief
APPROVED BY: Armando G. Villa, City Manager
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

RECOMMENDED ACTION

1. Adopt two budget amendment resolutions (BAR) authorizing the Menifee Police Department to appropriate asset forfeiture funds in the amount of $32,600 for the purchase of a replacement canine and required training and equipment.

DISCUSSION
In August of 2020 the County of Riverside transferred $88,653.07 to the City of Menifee in asset forfeiture funds. These funds were previously overseen by the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department. Through joint task force cases the Menifee Police Department (MPD) has also received an additional $443,341.47 since 2021. These funds are the MPD’s portion of multiple state cases resulting in asset forfeiture funds being allocated through the Department of Justice (DOJ) Equitable Sharing Guidelines. These funds have been deposited into the City’s State Asset Forfeiture Fund (8350-231500) until needed for eligible uses. The MPD has requested previous appropriations of the asset forfeiture funds as shown below in Table 1 below.

PENDING K9 Capital Outlay & Supplies (20,000.00)
(12,600.00)
Remaining Balance Asset Forfeiture Funds: $336,860.54
The requested appropriations would be allocated to the Capital Outlay and K9 Supplies accounts in the amount of $32,600 to fund the purchase of a patrol K9, equipment and accompanying training. The K9 would be partnered with a patrol officer in the operations unit. The goal of this new K9 is to replace Dino, an existing department K9 who will be retired due to age.

The purchase and corresponding agreement for training of the new K9 would be facilitated through Gold Coast K9. The contract would include the purchase of a pre-trained dog, 30 days of pre-training and a six-week handler course. The remaining balance of funds would be used for needed supplies to outfit the new K9 including kennels, crates, a bite suit, bowls, leads, etc.

Pending the recommended appropriation of $32,600, the remaining balance in the restricted Trust Fund would be $336,860.54.

STRATEGIC PLAN OBJECTIVE
Safe and Vibrant Community

FISCAL IMPACT
Funding for the purchase and training of the canine is available within the Trust Fund which holds a current balance of $369,460.54 received from various asset forfeitures over the last several years. Accordingly, $32,600 from the full amount held in trust will be recognized as revenue in the Trust Fund (8350-434680). The funding would then be transferred out of the Trust Fund (8350- MPD-901100) and transferred into the General Fund (1100-808350). The corresponding expenditures would be appropriated within the General Fund to acquire the canine, equipment and the required training as an asset to the City (1100-MPD-660055 and 652753), as summarized in Table 2 below.

General Fund Expenditure – K9 Asset &

Future fiscal impacts include the cost for care of the K9. Those costs would be budgeted accordingly in future fiscal years.

CITY OF MENIFEE
SUBJECT: National Opiate Litigation Settlement Fund Allocation MEETING DATE: August 19, 2026
TO: Mayor and City Council
PREPARED BY: Christine Booker, Budgets & Grants Analyst REVIEWED BY: David Gutierrez, Police Chief
APPROVED BY: Armando G. Villa, City Manager
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

RECOMMENDED ACTION

1. Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to program the National Opiate Litigation Settlement Funds received through July 23, 2026, for prevention education and intervention programs reaching vulnerable populations including homeless and at-risk youth residing within the City; and

2. Adopt a budget amendment resolution (BAR) approving an increase in revenue and appropriation of expenditures in the amount of $54,574.25 to the project account as assigned by the Finance Department for the use of the funds received from the Kroger and Distributors Settlements, Allergan, CVS, TEVA, Walgreens and Walmart Settlement Funds.

DISCUSSION
The State of California joined a national lawsuit against manufacturers, distributors, and other entities deemed responsible for aiding the opioid epidemic. On July 21, 2021, a $26 billion offer to settle was made by opioid manufacturer Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (parent company of Johnson & Johnson) and the “big three" distributors, McKesson, AmerisourceBergen, and Cardinal Health (the Distributors) to resolve their liabilities in over 3,000 opioid crisis-related lawsuits nationwide. Additionally, proposed multistate settlements with opioid manufacturers Teva and Allergan and pharmacies Walmart, Walgreens, and CVS (collectively, the Pharmacies) have begun settlement payouts.

It is estimated that California will receive approximately $3.04 billion from each of these settlements through 2038. The City of Menifee opted to participate in the National Opiate Litigation with Janssen, the Distributors, and the Pharmacies as a subrecipient and as such is allocated roughly 0.032% of each distribution payment issued to the participating subdivisions within California. Since the last City Council approval in 2025, the City has received an additional $19,535.16 from the Distributors Settlement, $4,808.75 from the Kroger Settlement, $6,304.87 Item Title: 10.11

from the Allergan Settlement, $11,674.96 from the CVS Settlement, $5,741.79 from the TEVA Settlement, $5,771.08 from the Walgreen Settlement, and $737.64 from the Walmart Settlement for a total of $54,574.25. Cities that elected to participate in the National Prescription Opiate Litigation have the option of providing services as a subrecipient or transferring funds to the County or another subrecipient. As a designated subrecipient, the City is required to submit an expenditure plan for the current fiscal year and usage report for the prior fiscal year annually to the State of California by September 30. Staff completed the usage report for the prior fiscal year in early July, following the opening of the State submittal portal. The anticipated expenditure for the upcoming fiscal year will continue with the same percentage distributions as prior years as shown in Table 1 below.

In keeping with the terms of the Settlement Agreement, staff recommends utilizing the Settlement Funds for opioid prevention education and intervention programs reaching vulnerable populations including homeless and at-risk youth residing within the City. Additionally, a small portion of the funding could be dedicated to the City’s Trauma Intervention Program providing emotional care for families when opioid dependent individuals experience medical emergencies as outlined in the attached “List of Opioid Remediation Uses.”
The State of California further requires that at least 50% of all Settlement Funds be allocated to what has been identified as High Impact Abatement Activities (HIAA) outlined in Section 1, Table 1 of “California Opioid Settlements Allowable Expenditures”. In keeping with these requirements, staff proposes concentrating on the use of the Settlement Funds in the following areas:

1. Addressing the needs of communities of color and vulnerable populations (including sheltered and unsheltered homeless populations) that are disproportionately impacted by Substance Use Disorder.

2. Intervention to prevent drug addiction in vulnerable youth. Under the proposed plan, Menifee Police Department would utilize existing personnel to provide the identified programming in alignment with the Settlement Fund requirements as outlined in Table 1 below.

FISCAL IMPACT
Given that there are multiple Settlements providing varying levels of funding on an annual basis over the 15-year period, staff recommends programming the Settlement Funds as they are received. The fiscal impact associated with the acceptance of the Settlement Funds received through July 23, 2026, would result in an increase of $54,574.25 in other revenue within the Grant Fund (2301-17020-441005) and an appropriation in outreach expenditures to the National Opioid Settlement for Menifee Police Department within the Grant Fund (2301-MPD-17020- 652213). No match by the City would be required.

TO: Mayor and City Council
PREPARED BY: Christine Booker, Budgets & Grants Analyst REVIEWED BY: David Gutierrez, Police Chief
APPROVED BY: Armando G. Villa, City Manager
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

RECOMMENDED ACTION

1. Accept the Department of California Highway Patrol Cannabis Tax Fund Grant in the amount of $75,367.58 to help reduce and mitigate the impacts of impaired driving in the City; and

2. Adopt a budget amendment resolution, amending the Fiscal Year 2026/27 budget, appropriating $75,367.58 of grant funds in revenue and expenditures to a project account as assigned by the Finance Department; and

3. Authorize the City Manager or his designee, to execute all other necessary grant-related documents thereof to receive and implement the Department of California Highway Patrol Cannabis Tax Fund Grant Program.

DISCUSSION
The Menifee Police Department was awarded $75,367.58 by the California Highway Patrol (CHP) for the Cannabis Tax Fund Grant. The purpose of this grant is to educate the public regarding the danger of impaired driving, enforce laws related to Driving Under the Influence (DUI) of alcohol and other drugs, including cannabis and cannabis products, and improve the Department’s effectiveness through training and development of new strategies.

The funds received would be used to cover the costs incurred by the Police Department during activities such as DUI checkpoints and saturation patrols and safety presentations. Additionally, the funds would be used for operational costs and supplies including a generator, propane heaters and trailer mount tie downs. The Police Department would also use available funds to send officers to Standardized Field Sobriety Testing Training and to the Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement Training.

CHP would reimburse any costs incurred that are within the guidelines of this grant. No match by the City would be required.

Schedule A

Menifee Police Department

The Grantor determined awards and adjustments based on the Project’s merit, operational scale, compliance with the Request for Application (RFA), and program regulations. Certain activities or budget items proposed in Schedule A may have been deemed ineligible for funding. The final, binding list of authorized activities and expenses is set forth in Schedule B - Detailed Budget Estimate.

Project Description
The Menifee Police Department remains committed to enhancing officer training and enforcement efforts to address impaired driving and improve roadway safety. Recognizing the continued need for officers to effectively detect impairment caused by both alcohol and drugs, the department will continue strengthening its training capacity by sending 2 officers to SFST/ARIDE courses.

To further reduce impaired driving through proactive enforcement and public education, the department is looking for resources to expand street-level operations and community outreach. Grant funding will support 20 DUI saturations, 2 DUI checkpoints, and 2 traffic safety presentations at local high schools. Funds will also be used to purchase equipment such as PAS calibration supplies, checkpoint supplies, DUI clipboards to be used at DUI checkpoints, e-cite printers, printer mounts, an EDR cable kit, reflective vests, a generator, and propane heaters.

Problem Statement
City and Major Roadway Layout:

The City of Menifee encompasses a diverse landscape, featuring residential, commercial, industrial, and rural zones. Positioned in the Southwest region of Riverside County, Menifee shares its borders with neighboring cities including Perris, Homeland, Winchester, Murrieta, Lake Elsinore, and Canyon Lake. The northern boundary of our city is defined by Highway 74, a state highway renowned as one of California's most perilous stretches per mile. This two-lane east/west thoroughfare traverses Menifee, flanked by a mix of retail, commercial, residential, and undeveloped properties.

The I-215 freeway bisects Menifee, serving as a prominent interstate artery that intersects with the I -15 freeway in Murrieta and further north in San Bernardino County. Within Menifee, the I -215 freeway encompasses five exits, including Highway-74, Ethanac Road, McCall Boulevard, Newport Road, and Scott Road.

Highway 74 serves as a primary conduit for residents commuting from cities such as Hemet, San Jacinto, Winchester, and Homeland to access the I-215 freeway. Newport Road, another vital east/west thoroughfare, links Menifee with Hemet, San Jacinto, Winchester, Canyon Lake, and Lake Elsinore. It represents the principal gateway to the I-215 freeway and the sole local access point to the I-15 freeway for residents of Menifee, San Jacinto, Winchester, and Hemet.

Traffic Flow and Population:

Newport Road experiences a daily traffic volume of approximately 76,300 vehicles, resulting in congestion- related challenges such as red-light violations, gridlock, and an elevated incidence of traffic accidents. The intersection of Newport Road and Haun Road, characterized by numerous large retail establishments, attracts significant foot traffic from Menifee and neighboring areas. Scott Road, another major east/west thoroughfare, interconnects Temecula, Winchester, Murrieta, Menifee, and Wildomar. With a daily traffic count of approximately 34,000 vehicles, Scott Road ranks as the second busiest thoroughfare in Menifee.

The population of the City of Menifee has witnessed steady growth from approximately 117,000 in 2023, to over 125,500 as of January 1, 2026, marking an increase of 7.3% over the last three years. Currently, there are more than 6500 single-family and 1300 multi-family units recently approved or under development as of late 2025. There are approximately 25 major tracts under construction with roughly 2,500 new units anticipated to be completed within two years. The city has 18 specific plans with significant residential development.

Menifee Mayor and City Council
August 19, 2026

Schedule A

Noteworthy population growth is also observed in neighboring cities, with Temecula projected to reach a population of approximately 114,000 and experience a growth rate of approximately 2.1% through 2028.

Similarly, Murrieta has reported a population increase, reaching 118,734 in 2022, with expectations of further growth to approximately 124,019 by 2027, constituting a 4.5% increase. The most recent population statistics show that Menifee has now become the most populated city in the Temecula/Menifee Valley .

Current Conditions and Future Changes Affecting Traffic:

The City of Menifee also is host to 49 active on-site ABC licensed businesses for serving alcohol, encompassing traditional bars, bars and grills, and restaurants. Additionally, 42 businesses hold active Off - Site ABC Licenses for alcohol sales, bringing the total number of established businesses that serve alcohol within the city limits to approximately 91. The City of Menifee is also situated near the Temecula wineries and other locales with a high concentration of alcohol-serving establishments.

While municipal regulations in Menifee prohibit marijuana dispensaries, neighboring cities such as Lake Elsinore, Canyon Lake, Perris, San Jacinto, Moreno Valley, and Hemet feature active dispensaries. Within a 15-mile radius of Menifee, 90 active marijuana dispensaries and delivery services operate (data from weedmaps.com). The increased availability of marijuana has corresponded with a rise in Marijuana DUI incidents. Through grant assistance, the Menifee Police Department aims to enhance officer training in identifying signs of marijuana intoxication, thereby bolstering efforts to remove impaired drivers from the roadways. Collaborative initiatives with the Riverside District Attorney’s Office seek to augment the filing of marijuana DUI cases.

Crash and DUI Data:

The Menifee Police Department utilizes the Crossroads suite of programming to document, report, and analyze traffic crash data. This data has proven useful in analyzing our highest priority areas, violations, days, and times for crashes. Over the past three years, the City of Menifee has experienced a fluctuating number of DUI related crashes.

In FY23, Menifee had 122 DUI related traffic crashes, with 78 occurring during the weekdays, and 44 occurring during the weekend. The highest times of day for DUI crashes were between 0100-0159, 1500- 1559, 1800-1859, 1900-1959, 2100-2159, and 2300-2359. 48 of those crashes resulted in injury, and 2 resulted in fatalities.

In FY24, Menifee had a significant decrease in DUI related crashes from 122 the previous year to 77 in FY24. 44 of these crashes occurred during the weekday and 33 occurred during the weekend. The highest times for DUI crashes were 0300-0359, 1800-1859, and 2000-2059. 26 of those crashes resulted in injury and 0 resulted in fatality.

In FY25, Menifee had an increase in DUI related crashes from 77 the previous year to 90 in FY25, with 61 of these crashes occurring during weekdays, and 29 occurring the weekend. The highest times of day for DUI crashes were between 1700-1759, 1800-1859, 1900-1959, 2000-2059, and 2100-2159. 39 of these crashes resulted in injuries with 0 fatalities.

The Menifee Police Department made approximately 162 DUI arrests during FY25, an increase from 137 DUI arrests the previous year. This increase in DUI arrests shows a consistent pattern of impaired driving, and enforcement efforts in the city.

Proposed Solution:

As we have all seen as recently as 2020 during the pandemic, it is extremely important for departments to maintain a high police presence in the area of DUI enforcement and education to continue to combat DUI related crashes. To address this, the Menifee Police Department continues to place a high priority on officer training, community outreach, and community education, while the City of Menifee continues to place a high priority in improving the roadway infrastructure. The ability for the Menifee Police Department to partner with the CHP Cannabis Grant Unit would allow the City of Menifee to continue to focus on city infrastructure and total staffing of the police department, while allowing the department to supplement the number of officers available to conduct DUI enforcement and education.

Schedule A

The City of Menifee has shown a strong desire to increase police presence as we have increased our total staffing from approximately 59 officers on July 1, 2020, to a police force of approximately 93 sworn officers today. This total includes a traffic unit of 1 Sergeant, 5 Motorcycle Officers, and one newly appointed DUI Enforcement Officer. Our commitment to the city and to traffic safety is evident and we hope to foster a successful partnership with the CHP Cannabis Grant Unit to support our shared goal of reducing DUI crashes.

Our goal is to utilize the approved funding from the CHP Cannabis Grant to conduct DUI operations, as well as the purchasing of equipment needed to safely complete these operations. Since our inception in 2020, we have sent more than 24 officers to SFST and/or ARIDE courses. We intend to continue this trend and will continue to host SFST and ARIDE courses at the Menifee Police Station this year. We plan on growing our total number of SFST and ARIDE trained officers and increasing the number of DUI offenders taken off the streets.

With the increased number of SFST trained officers, we have become better equipped to conduct DUI Checkpoints and DUI Saturations. In years past, we have had success with DUI Checkpoints as both a learning tool, and an enforcement tool. In certain areas of the city, our checkpoints, while mainly focused on education, have seen higher than normal numbers of DUI arrests. This highlights the effectiveness of DUI checkpoints and validates not only their education efforts but has also resulted in countless lives saved and offenders taken off the streets. We are requesting funding for each checkpoint to staff an appropriate number of personnel to assist with the high vehicle volume and increase officer safety. We will continue to make advance notice and social media outreach a priority and increase our outreach to not only our community, but those around us. Similarly, by conducting an increased number of DUI Saturations, we hope to show a larger enforcement presence in the community, which will hopefully result in increased compliance with DUI related laws.

Further, we are requesting funding to purchase equipment which allows for continued enforcement and investigative efforts for DUI related investigations. PAS Calibration devices allow our department to ensure each Preliminary Alcohol Screening (PAS) device is accurate and maintains credibility for filing purposes.

Alcohol related DUI arrests are often a combo effect with marijuana use. PAS devices will also indicate the absence of alcoholic beverage consumption. This provides valuable investigative leads when an officer sees signs of impairment, but no alcohol is detected. This can help to guide the officer’s investigation toward a marijuana impaired driver.

We are also requesting funding to purchase DUI/DRE evaluation clipboards. The clipboards provide a step- by-step guide for DUI investigations. They also provide a flow chart of impairment indicators which assist the officers in determining alcoholic beverage impairment versus marijuana or other drug impairment. This tool will aid in better identification of the type of impairment, which in turn provides better investigation and report writing for an increase in criminal filings with the District Attorney’s office.

The Menifee Police department is dedicated to increasing enforcement of DUI driving. With the increase of enforcement efforts, we have a need for additional E-Cite printer devices. Utilizing the Crossroads software Suite to document arrests of DUI drivers, E-Cite printer devices generate citations for court appearance and tracking purposes. To ensure DUI enforcement officers have the resources necessary to complete required documentation for filings, we are requesting funding to purchase 10 new E-Cite printers.

In addition, the Menifee Police Department is dedicated to scheduling DUI Checkpoints for educational and enforcement opportunities of impaired driving. These checkpoints are typically scheduled during evening and nighttime hours when the weather is typically cooler, and impaired drivers are returning home from functions and restaurants where alcoholic beverages are served, and where marijuana consumption happens. To support these efforts, and for the safety of staff assigned to these checkpoints, we are requesting funding to purchase ANSI certified Yellow Traffic Safety vests, a propane heater, and a generator for lighting needs.

Performance Measures/Scope of Work (Proposed Solution)
20 DUI Saturation Patrols (Q1=5, Q2=5, Q3=5, Q4=5): Aim to reduce DUI/DUID involved crashes by 5%, which will improve roadway safety in the community.

2 DUI Checkpoints (Q1=1, Q4=1): Aim to increase DUI/DUID education and awareness, while reducing DUI/DUID drivers by 5%, which will increase roadway safety.

Schedule A

2 Education presentations at local high schools (Q1=1, Q3=1): Aim to contact at least 150 students each quarter to increase DUI/DUID education and awareness. The presentations will focus on implications of driving under the influence, as well as personal safety.

3 PAS Calibration devices (Q1= Purchase, Q=2 receive, Q2-Q4= Use in the field). Used to ensure PAS devices are properly calibrated for use during DUI enforcement efforts at DUI checkpoints and DUI Saturations.

DUI Checkpoint Supplies (Q1= Purchase, Q=2 receive, Q2-Q4= Use in the field). Used to purchase supplies such as anti-fatigue mats, flashlights, extension cords, etc. to support operations at DUI Checkpoints.

20 DUI Clipboards (Q1= Purchase, Q=2 receive, Q2-Q4= Use in the field). Used at DUI checkpoints and during DUI saturations to ensure officers follow standardized SFST/ARIDE investigative formats and increase DUI knowledge, arrests, and convictions.

10 E-cite Printers (Q1= Purchase, Q=2 receive, Q2-Q4= Use in the field). Used at DUI checkpoints and during DUI saturations to ensure personnel have the equipment needed to complete proper report documentation for DUI arrests.

5 E-cite printer RAM Mounts (Q1= Purchase, Q=2 receive, Q2-Q4= Use in the field). Used during DUI saturations to mount E-cite printers to units that would be used during these enforcement efforts. This will allow officers quicker access to citation printers and increase work productivity.

1 EDR Cable Kit (Q1= Purchase, Q=2 receive, Q2-Q4= Use in the field). We are requesting funding for an Event Data Recorder Cable Kit to enhance impaired driving enforcement and DUI crash investigations. We believe that accessing information stored in the EDR will allow is to provide a higher level of investigation into the courtroom disputes regarding driver behavior, impairment effects on driver input, and causation of the crash. By having access to this information, we would be more likely to present more thorough crash investigations, including those where DUI is a factor, which would result in higher conviction rates, longer sentencing for DUI offenders, and assistance in the prevention of repeat DUI offenders being released prematurely from custody.

20 Retroreflective vests (Q1= Purchase, Q=2 receive, Q2-Q4= Use in the field). To be used during DUI Checkpoints and stored in the DUI trailer to ensure all personnel are in compliance with Ingersol V. Palmer.

This will increase officer safety, as well as ensuring DUI arrests are not dismissed due to a technicality. 1 Bulk box of AA batteries (Q1= Purchase, Q=2 receive, Q2-Q4= Use in the field). To be used with the two Draeger PEBTs, which utilizes 4 AA batteries that must be replaced consistently for proper function of the system.

1 Honda Generator (Q1= Purchase, Q=2 receive, Q2-Q4= Use in the field). To be used at DUI checkpoints for external lighting of globe and area lights.

2 Propane Heaters (Q1= Purchase, Q=2 receive, Q2-Q4= Use in the field). To be used at DUI checkpoints during colder operations, ensuring personnel are able to continue DUI education and enforcement efforts for a longer period of time.

Project Performance Evaluation
The Menifee Police Department will evaluate project effectiveness through ongoing data collection and analysis in programs such as TriTech, Crossroads, and Peregrine. We will analyze both quantitative and qualitative data related to impaired driving enforcement, officer training, and community education efforts.

Quantitative measures would include:

• The number of DUI arrests made during grant funded operations. • The number of grant funded operations conducted.
• The number of drivers screened at checkpoints.
• The number of DUI-related crashes, injuries, and fatalities. • The number of officers trained in SFST, ARIDE, or DRE. • The number of presentations conducted, and approximate number of community members reached.

Schedule A

The qualitative measures would include:

• Feedback from officers and supervisors regarding training effectiveness and equipment usefulness. • Observed improvements in DUI detection, documentation, and investigative efficiency. • Prosecutor feedback on report quality and evidentiary strength. • Community feedback received during outreach events.

These results will be shared amongst department leadership, staff meetings, and briefing trainings to ensure all personnel are aware of our efforts, their effectiveness, and to garner further interest in DUI enforcement.

This will also ensure accountability, demonstrate a measurable impact, and guide future DUI enforcement and education efforts.

Program Sustainability
As previously mentioned, the City of Menifee has shown a strong dedication to roadway safety as we have recently funded a DUI enforcement officer position. This officer's main focus will be DUI detection and enforcement, as well as the furtherance of DUI related training to department members. This, coupled with the city's stance on improving roadway safety through capital improvement funds, shows the ability for growth and stability of DUI enforcement.

Further, several of the items listed were one time purchase items that will allow the department to focus on funding temporarily in other areas. Future discussions with command staff have shown a strong desire for City funding to increase DUI enforcement efforts.

Administrative Support
This grant is being managed by Sergeant Dan Beare, who has almost two years’ experience as the Traffic Unit supervisor, including oversight of the implementation of the CHP Cannabis Grant, and the OTS STEP grant for the entirety of his time with the unit. Sergeant Bloch, who has 4 years’ experience as the Grant Coordinator and 7 years’ experience in Traffic and DUI related activities, remains onboard to offer assistance with the implementation and coordination of the CHP Cannabis Grant. Budget and Grants A nalyst Christine Booker have 6 years of experience with the Menifee Police Department, and several years with her previous agency, managing grants and fiscal responsibility.

These efforts are supported by a command staff including Lieutenant Denise Keith, who has approximately 2 years of CHP Cannabis and OTS STEP Grant experience will oversee the implementation of the grant, while Captain Dave Gutierrez, who was recently selected as the Interim Police Chief, has several years of grant coordination experience and will have complete oversight of the CHP Cannabis Grant operations.

Further, equipment used to support our DUI enforcement and education efforts include a DUI trailer, a grant funded DUI enforcement and education truck, a police department funded DUI enforcement vehicle, two additional traffic unit specific enforcement vehicles, 7 police motorcycles, the Innocorp SIDNE impaired driving experience kit, and products/handouts from our partnership with Impact Teen Drivers. All equipment listed assists the Menifee Police Department and our personnel in working toward our mission of reducing DUI related crashes and fatalities.

RECOMMENDED ACTION

1. Accept the Office of Traffic Safety Selective Traffic Enforcement Program Grant in the amount of $160,000 for conducting enforcement activities such as DUI checkpoints and saturation patrols; and

2. Adopt a budget amendment resolution, amending the Fiscal Year 2026/27 budget, appropriating $160,000 of grant funds in revenue and expenditure to a project account as assigned by the Finance Department; and

3. Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute all other grant-related documents to receive and implement the Office of Traffic Safety Selective Traffic Enforcement Program Grant.

DISCUSSION
The Menifee Police Department was awarded $160,000 by the Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) for the Selective Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP) Grant. OTS administers several grant programs, including the STEP Grant. The purpose of this grant is to reduce the number of “driving under the influence” incidents and collisions within the City of Menifee.

The funds received would be used for costs incurred by the Police Department during activities such as driving under the influence checkpoints and saturation patrols. Additionally, the funds would be used toward operational costs and supplies to conduct checkpoints, patrols, equipment, and enforcement activities for distracted driving, traffic, motorcycle safety, pedestrian, and bicycle safety enforcement. The Police Department would also use available funds to send officers to Standardized Field Sobriety Testing Training and to the Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement Training.
