MONTCLAIR CITY COUNCIL MEETING – 07/18/2022 Page 4 of 259
CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA REPORT
DATE: JULY 18, 2022
SECTION: PUBLIC HEARINGS
ITEM NO.: A
FILE I.D.: FLP280/FLP113
DEPT.: ECONOMIC DEV.
PREPARER: M. FUENTES
SUBJECT: CONSIDER ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION NO. 22–3372 AMENDING THE MASTER USER FEE SCHEDULE TO PROVIDE CLARIFICATION OF AN EXISTING IN–LIEU FEE FOR
INCLUSIONARY HOUSING
REASON FOR CONSIDERATION: In order to effectively implement and administer the purpose and intent of the City’s Master User Fee Schedule, staff annually reviews and, when necessary, proposes revisions to certain portions of the Master User Fee Schedule to provide more accurate user fees and, in certain circumstances, to comply with changes that have occurred in county, state, or federal law over the course of the prior year.
As part of the review process, staff was made aware of recent legislation that reinstated the ability of cities and local agencies to implement inclusionary housing requirements for residential rental properties. As such, staff is recommending amending the Master User Fee Schedule to reinstate an inclusionary housing in–lieu fee that the City of Montclair previously charged to developers of residential rental properties.
A copy of proposed Resolution No. 22–3372 amending the Master User Fee Schedule and Exhibit A to the Resolution are attached for City Council review and consideration.
BACKGROUND: Article XI, section 7 of the California Constitution grants each city and county the power “to make and enforce within its limits all local, police, sanitary and other ordinances and regulations not in conflict with general laws.” This is generally referred to as the police power of local governments. The Planning and Zoning Law (Government Code, §§ 65000 to 66035) sets forth minimum standards for cities and counties to follow in land use regulation, but the law also establishes the Legislature’s intent to “provide only a minimum of limitation in order that counties and cities may exercise the maximum degree of control over local zoning matters” (Government Code § 65800).
Many jurisdictions, pursuant to their police power, adopted inclusionary housing ordinances that require residential developers to ensure that a certain percentage of housing units in a new development be affordable to moderate– and lower–income households. Most, if not all, of such requirements applied to both for–sale and rental housing units.
Despite the many local inclusionary requirements, court decisions have changed the environment regarding rental inclusionary requirements. In 2009, in Palmer/Sixth Street Properties, L.P. v. City of Los Angeles (2009) 175 Cal.App.4th 1396, the Second District California Court of Appeal opined that the City of Los Angeles’ inclusionary housing ordinance associated with a specific plan, as applied to rental housing units, conflicted with, and were preempted by, a state law known as the Costa–Hawkins Rental Housing Act. The Costa–Hawkins Act, adopted in 1995, allows landlords to set the initial rent for a new unit and to increase the rent to market levels whenever a unit is vacated. The Court of Appeals concluded that the City of Los Angeles’ inclusionary ordinance clearly conflicted with the developer’s right to set the rental rate for their units because the City MONTCLAIR CITY COUNCIL MEETING – 07/18/2022 Page 5 of 259 of Los Angeles would limit the rent that they could charge for the affordable units. After the Palmer decision, most jurisdictions with inclusionary housing ordinances that included rental housing units stopped applying the inclusionary requirements on rental housing units.
As with many cities at the time, the City of Montclair stopped enforcing its inclusionary housing ordinance for rental housing units and only enforced inclusionary housing requirements on for–sale housing units. At the time of the court ruling in Palmer/Sixth Street Properties, L.P. v. City of Los Angeles, the City of Montclair had in place Ordinance No. 05–866, an Inclusionary Housing Ordinance requiring developers of residential developments (both for–sale units and rental units) to provide for the following:
Require that a minimum of 15 percent of all approved residential development in the City’s redevelopment project areas be restricted to and affordable to very low–, lower– and moderate–income households;
Require that a minimum of 40 percent of the foregoing units be restricted to and affordable to very low–income households;
Under certain conditions, allow alternatives to on–site construction as a means of providing affordable units for very low–income households; and In specific cases, allow inclusionary requirements to be satisfied through the payment of an in–lieu fee as an alternative to requiring affordable units to be constructed.
At the time, the City of Montclair had in place an inclusionary housing in–lieu fee of $15,400 that developers could pay instead of electing to provide the affordable units pursuant to Ordinance No. 05–866.
In 2010, the City of San Jose adopted an inclusionary housing ordinance that applied a 15 percent inclusionary requirement for lower– and moderate–income households. The California Building Industry Association (CBIA) filed a lawsuit California Building Industry Assn. v. City of San Jose, 61 Cal. 4th 435 (2015) alleging that inclusionary requirements were an “exaction” that needed to be justified by the impact of the project, like traffic fees. The California Supreme Court ruled that inclusionary requirements were not “exactions.” Rather, the ruling stated that enforcing affordable housing requirements to address a growing housing problem is “constitutionally legitimate” so long as it “bears a real and substantial relationship to the public interest,” and cited the need to increase the number of affordable units given the severe scarcity of affordable housing in California, and the desirability of having economically diverse communities.
In 2016, the CBIA appealed the California Supreme Court decision to the Supreme Court, where the CBIA’s appeal was denied.
In 2017, Governor Brown signed into law AB 1505 (Bloom) Land Use: Zoning Regulations, which in effect reversed the Palmer/Sixth Street Properties, L.P. v. City of Los Angeles (2009) decision allowing cities and counties to reinstate inclusionary housing requirements for for–sale and rental housing units.
AB 1505 provides clear authority that all cities and counties, including charter cities and counties, may adopt ordinances that require, as a condition of development, a certain percentage of rental units to be affordable to lower– or moderate–income households, including very low– and extremely low– income households.
MONTCLAIR CITY COUNCIL MEETING – 07/18/2022 Page 6 of 259 In clarifying this authority, AB 1505 also recognized the importance of flexibility and mitigating development costs in meeting inclusionary housing requirements. The law states that inclusionary housing ordinances with rental housing components must provide alternative means for compliance. Local governments may seek alternative means of compliance such as in–lieu fees, land dedication, off–site construction, or acquisition and rehabilitation of existing units.
Affordable Housing Projects in Montclair
The City of Montclair has historically taken a hands–on approach in preserving existing housing and in creating affordable housing opportunities for residents. The former Montclair Redevelopment Agency (RDA) embarked on a 30–year project of purchasing dilapidated apartment buildings and single–family homes, rehabilitating them, and recording long–term affordability covenants on those properties. The RDA would rent the apartments and homes to very low–, low–, and moderate–income–qualifying families.
Over the years, the RDA acquired 98 units—a combination of very low– to moderate– income apartment units and low– to moderate–income single–family residences. In addition, the RDA partnered with several non–profits including Augusta Communities and National Community Renaissance (National CORE) to further develop and help fund the development of affordable housing projects in the City of Montclair.
With the dissolution of community redevelopment agencies in 2011 (AB 1X 26) as a result of the California Supreme Court’s decision in California Redevelopment Association v.
Matosantos, the City of Montclair’s approach to providing affordable housing options was halted. Properties formerly owned by the RDA were transferred to the Montclair Housing Authority (MHA).
Up until recently, the City of Montclair did not have a funding mechanism in place to further achieve the goals of the former RDA of expanding the housing stock owned by the City and helping to fund the development of affordable housing units by partnering with non–profits. With the recent repayment of a residual receipt loan from Augusta Communities to the City of Montclair of roughly $3.1 million and the recent change in state law allowing for the collection of in–lieu fees for rental housing developments, MHA has the potential to develop a mechanism to fund the future acquisition of additional housing units to incorporate into the MHA housing stock and to partner with non–profits to develop additional affordable housing projects.
As such, staff is recommending amending the Master User Fee Schedule to reincorporate the City of Montclair inclusionary housing in–lieu fee of $15,400, which the City of Montclair previously charged to developers for both for–sale and rental units by clarifying that the inclusionary housing in–lieu applies to both for–sale and rental units.
FISCAL IMPACT: The proposed 2022 Master User Fee Schedule Revision includes a revision of the City of Montclair’s current inclusionary housing in–lieu fee of $15,400.00 If adopted, Resolution No. 22–3372 amending and adopting the Master User Fee Schedule would have an unknown, but positive, fiscal impact on the amount of inclusionary housing in–lieu fees received by developers of for–sale and rental units who choose to pay the inclusionary housing in–lieu fees instead of electing to construct or provide for the required affordable housing units pursuant to Ordinance No. 05–866.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the City Council adopt Resolution No. 22–3372 amending the Master User Fee Schedule to provide clarification of an existing in–lieu fee for inclusionary housing.

SUBJECT: CONSIDER ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION NO. 22–3367 MAKING FINDINGS PURSUANT
TO THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT AND APPROVING A PRECISE PLAN OF DESIGN FOR A PROPOSED 137–UNIT RESIDENTIAL APARTMENT PROJECT WITHIN THE NORTH MONTCLAIR DOWNTOWN SPECIFIC PLAN ON 2.85 ACRES AT
THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF ARROW HIGHWAY AND MONTE VISTA AVENUE REASON FOR CONSIDERATION: All land use and design review entitlements within the boundaries of the North Montclair Downtown Specific Plan (NMDSP) require City Council review and approval. The City Council is requested to consider adoption of Resolution No. 22–3367 making findings pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act and approving a Precise Plan of Design for a proposed 137–unit residential apartment projects within the North Montclair Downtown Specific Plan on 2.85 acres at the southwest corner of Arrow Highway and Monte Vista Avenue.
A copy of proposed Resolution No. 22–3367 is attached for City Council review and consideration.
BACKGROUND: Kendry II Apartments Owner, LLC, is proposing to build a 137–unit residential apartment project on approximately 2.85 acres of land at the southwest corner of Arrow Highway and Monte Vista Avenue. The project’s working name is Alexan–Kendry Expansion, and it is designed to operate in conjunction with the existing Alexan–Kendry apartment community located immediately south of the project site, which was completed in 2020. The project is part of the Trammell Crow Residential (TCR) portfolio of multifamily residential projects, and the fourth TCR project in the North Montclair Downtown Specific Plan (NMDSP) area.
Currently, the project site consists of four abutting parcels owned by a single owner merged to form a single site for development. Existing buildings/structures and parking surfaces will be removed. The site is within the boundaries of the North Montclair Downtown Specific Plan (NMDSP) and has two zoning designations—Corridor Residential (CR) and Town Center (TC)—each of which applies to one half of the site.
On June 13, 2022, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on the proposed project and by a unanimous vote of 5–0 recommended the City Council make findings pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act and approve the project under Case No. 2021–36 pursuant to Resolution No. 22–1969.
Project Description
The proposed project is a podium–style development with 137 residential units above a single–level, partially submerged parking garage with 240 parking spaces. Access to resident and guest parking will be from the west side of the project off Magnolia Avenue that connects to Arrow Highway and Cypress Street.
MONTCLAIR CITY COUNCIL MEETING – 07/18/2022 Page 10 of 259 The residential units will be within two building types, as generally described in the following tables:

3 Bedrooms/2 Baths +/– 1,282 s.f. 8
2-Bedroom Townhomes & 2.5 Baths +/– 1,363 s.f. 27
Total 137 units
1 Each unit will have a private patio or balcony space of varying sizes depending on location. Private patios at ground level would be defined by low decorative walls and landscaping.
The multi–story buildings are located near and oriented toward Arrow Highway and Monte Vista Avenue. The townhouse units are generally located at the center and southern edge of the site. The maximum height for the highest part of the multi–story buildings facing Arrow Highway is 52 feet.
Each multi–story building provides a community room for small gatherings, with kitchen facilities and game tables. The primary activity center for the Alexan–Kendry Expansion project is located in the adjacent community building at the Alexan–Kendry project site where a fitness center, kitchen, meeting rooms, game room, mailroom, and studio/project workspace are located. In addition, Alexan–Kendry Expansion residents would also have access to the existing private park located across Magnolia Avenue in close proximity to the project. Existing park amenities include a turf area, tables/seating, a fenced dog park, and trees and shrubs. Lastly, Burrtec, the City’s solid waste hauler, will remove trash enclosures that are located within the parking structure and collected solid waste materials.
Parking is within a single–level, partially submerged parking garage designed to accommodate 240 parking spaces, with no request for a parking reduction. Electric vehicle (EV) charging stations are proposed within the parking garage to accommodate electric vehicles.

MONTCLAIR CITY COUNCIL MEETING – 07/18/2022 Page 11 of 259 As a standard requirement for projects in the NMDSP, a Parking Management Plan (PMP) is required to manage parking for the project. The on–site manager of the property management company hired for the development will administer the PMP. As part of the initial rental application process, each renter of a unit within the project are given written notice of on–site parking conditions and requirements at the complex. All executed lease agreements will contain the entire PMP as an exhibit to the lease agreement, including a signed acknowledgment that the resident(s) agree to the terms of the PMP.
Architectural Style
The proposed architectural style for the Alexan–Kendry Expansion is intended to tie into but not replicate the “modern agrarian and farmhouse” style utilized for the adjacent Alexan–Kendry apartment community. Responding to the prominent location at the intersection of Arrow Highway and Monte Vista Avenue, the project features a strong corner design rising to four stories in height and incorporating details that give it a commercial appearance. The four–story massing eventually steps down to two stories and design change as it approaches the existing Alexan–Kendry development to help reduce the scale of the building and tie both projects together. On the Arrow Highway frontage, the project appears as two halves that will allow a view into the main courtyard.
The design proposes a high level of detail and stoop–like elements along the bottom of the building, wall and window recesses, bay windows, balconies, canopies, varied roof forms, and standing seam metal roof material to add visual interest. The exterior façade materials include board and batten siding, exterior plaster, bay windows wrapped in horizontal siding and storefront window framing, and porcelain tile veneer at the main corners. The main corner buildings are distinguished by the use of tile at the lower level and dark blue gray stucco finish for the upper stories.
Landscaping/Hardscape
The applicant has submitted comprehensive landscape and irrigation plans for the project site. The selection and distribution of plant materials are intended to complement the architecture of the buildings and adjacent streets. Within the project, four courtyards (approximately 10,196 square feet in total) are proposed, only one of which features a small lawn area for a community gathering space (Courtyard No. 3).
Landscaped walkways will link the courtyard areas. In addition to trees and shrubs, the courtyard spaces will include several decorative hardscape elements, such as tables and seating, string lighting, cast–in–place concrete seat walls, grills, a fireplace, and enhanced paving finishes. A grand staircase at the southwest corner of the project will connect to the existing Alexan–Kendry apartment community and shared amenities.
Planting for the project site would consist of drought–tolerant species for the underlying climate zone, customized for each proposed courtyard area. Tree species for the project include Canary Island Pine street trees. Irrigation of all planting areas will be by means of a water–efficient irrigation system and a smart weather–based controller. Lastly, a Water Budget was prepared, as required by state law, for landscaping and irrigation.
Copies of the site plan, floor plans, elevations, renderings, and conceptual landscape plan are included in the City Council agenda packets. The full set of plans associated with this project are available to view in the Community Development Department, and can be viewed online using the link provided in the July 18, 2022 Council meeting page.
MONTCLAIR CITY COUNCIL MEETING – 07/18/2022 Page 12 of 259 Planning Division Comments
Overall, staff finds the project to be well–designed, visually attractive, and consistent with the intent and design goals of the NMDSP. The expanded boundaries made possible with the 2017 NMDSP update provided the opportunity to improve the southwest corner at Arrow Highway and Monte Vista Avenue. Despite not being able to develop the entire area at the same time the Alexan–Kendry project was constructed, the opportunity to develop the corner later allowed for a distinctive building design suitable for the prime corner location. A benefit of the delay is the new project, though related to the adjacent Alexan–Kendry development, will appear distinctive and meet the intent of the specific plan, which envisioned smaller projects and block–size development.
When the current parcels are merged, the new lot and shape will be of adequate size and dimension to accommodate the project. The proposed podium–style project makes the best use of the sloping conditions of the site, allows for its full use, and eliminates the need for surface parking areas. Moreover, the project site has direct and easy pedestrian and vehicular circulation access from the existing and improving street system that promotes walkability and connectivity to the Alexan–Kendry project as well as other new developments in the immediate area, including proximity to the Montclair Transcenter.
Staff worked closely with the applicant and the City’s architectural design consultant.
The project’s architecture is designed to tie–in, but not replicate, the design of the existing Alexan–Kendry project. Building placement, orientation to the street, and building massing all work to create a distinctive and strong street corner presence without turning away from the street or resorting to architectural gimmickry. Exterior building materials are appropriate and durable.
In addition, staff requested the developer and architect to consider noise and privacy impacts to future tenants in dwelling units at the major corners of the site. The developer and architect responded with a much stronger design that appears commercial in nature and maintains a downtown streetscape, especially for the important corner site at Arrow Highway and Monte Vista Avenue. As a condition of approval, the applicant is required to submit an acoustical analysis demonstrating that the interior noise standards of each unit will comply with Municipal Code requirements and applicable Mitigation Measures identified in the Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Report.
Further, the massing of the buildings is broken up across the project’s three primary street frontages, so there are no long continuous blank walls, and the distribution of windows, doors, and architectural details add appropriate visual interest and pedestrian scale, to be a positive addition to the developing Arrow Highway and Monte Vista Avenue streetscapes. Staff believes the architecture and colors selected for the project will help provide a comfortable level of distinction from the adjacent developments and are consistent with the high expectations for projects within the NMDSP.
Density
The 2.85–acre site is comprised of two equally–sized zoning designations: Corridor Residential (CR) and Town Center (TC). The TC designation yields the densest number of units of the two zones with a range of 50 to 60 dwelling units per acre. The CR density range is 30 to 50 dwelling units per acre. The project proposes a yield of 137 units, which averages 48 units per acre for the entire site. If each half of the site were developed at the low–end of its respective density range, the project would yield 114 MONTCLAIR CITY COUNCIL MEETING – 07/18/2022 Page 13 of 259 units. However, at an average of 48 units per acre (the high–end of the CR and just under the low end of the TC designation), the project is producing 137 units. Although the project is subject to the minimum density of each zone, the project will yield 23 more units than minimally required for each zone.
Alexan Expansion – Zoning and Density
Each Zone = 1.42 acre
Zoning Density Range Units at Minimum Density
Corridor Residential 30 – 50 du/ac 43 Dwelling Units (@30 du/ac) Town Center 50 – 60 du/ac 71 Dwelling Units (@50 du/ac) Sub–Total 114 Dwelling Units
Total Units 137–Units Proposed (+23 du)
(48 du/ac – overall)
As such, staff finds the project to be consistent with the density standards and intent of NMDSP for both the CR and TC land use designations that in part, are “… intended to establish a denser fabric of residential buildings, appropriate for locations on arterial roads. It is, therefore, the portion of the plan where the more intense residential development is expected.” The proposed project directly faces Arrow Highway and Monte Vista Avenue, both of which are arterial streets that can accommodate higher densities and projects that contribute to the ongoing development of an attractive and continuous urban streetscape.
Parking
The project provides the required amount of parking spaces set by the NMDSP. The podium–style project allows all parking spaces below the building and eliminates the need to dedicate land area for on–grade/surface parking areas. The Parking Management Plan (PMP) for the project will ensure parking is maintained in a controlled and professional manner at all times. Ultimately, the successful implementation of the PMP rests entirely on the owner and the Property Management Company’s diligent efforts to administer all of its provisions. The applicants are aware of the City’s concern for appropriately addressing parking and properly implementing the PMP. Since the developer did not request a parking reduction, the PMP is less complicated than others reviewed by the City. The PMP for the project is expected to include language and exhibits that address the following elements:
Marked Parking Stalls — All on–site parking stalls within the project will be numbered to allow for easy monitoring of parking within the project site. Assigned Spaces — Each dwelling unit is assigned a minimum of one parking space.
Two– or more bedroom units may have an additional parking space depending on availability.
Guest Parking — The property manager will provide short–term guest parking passes upon resident request on an as–available basis and subject to specific date, time, duration, and restrictions. Assignment of tenant or guest parking passes would not be applicable to parking spaces located within the public right–of–way. Parking Permit Program — Numbered and branded windshield decals for registered vehicles at the community are issued at the time of resident move–in and are voided when the lease is terminated.
MONTCLAIR CITY COUNCIL MEETING – 07/18/2022 Page 14 of 259 Enforcement — Residents will be required to follow parking guidelines at all times.
Violations will be enforced in an escalating manner, which could result in a vehicle(s) being towed at owner’s expense.
A condition of approval requiring the completion of a PMP prior to the issuance of building permits for the project is included in the resolution of approval prepared for the project.
Landscaping
Staff believes the proposed landscaping plan, including hardscape elements, is well done and appropriate for the proposed architecture and size of the property. The garden courtyards are well designed and outfitted with appropriate amenities (e.g., benches, fountains, lighting, and trash receptacles, etc.). Landscaping also helps to define areas such as entrances to buildings and provides a transition to the adjacent Alexan–Kendry apartment community. Plant materials, the majority of which are drought–tolerant, add visual interest. Seven tree species, including Canary Island Pine street trees along Monte Vista Avenue, are proposed. Some minor adjustments need to occur to the street trees on Monte Vista Avenue to match the emerging pattern already present on the street at the Paseos at Montclair, Vista Court, and Alexan–Kendry residential communities. Staff believes these adjustments can be addressed during the plan–check review process and is a condition of approval.
Property Maintenance/Management
The project will be managed by an on–site, institutional professional property management company with an on–site manager to oversee all management, leasing, and maintenance functions for the community. As part of the project approval, the applicant will be required to record an Operations Agreement against the entire property providing for the perpetual maintenance of all buildings and improvements, including roadways, retaining walls, drainage facilities, and water and sewer systems.
City staff is also working with a consultant to implement a Community Facilities District (CFD), which would overlay the subject site. The establishment of a CFD has been a requirement since the NMDSP was adopted to provide the means for collecting funds to maintain public improvements such as curb and gutter, sidewalks, paving, streetlights, street sweeping, signage, street furniture, and landscaping in the public right–of–way.
Completion and City approval of the CFD will be a condition of approval prior to the issuance of grading and/or building permits for the project.
Precise Plan of Design Findings
The proposed 137–unit residential apartment project is consistent with the “Planned Development” land use designation of the City’s General Plan Land Use Map, and the CR and TC land use designations of the amended North Montclair Downtown Specific Plan. The CR and TC land use districts are intended to establish a denser fabric of residential buildings appropriate for locations in close proximity to arterial roads. The proposed project would directly face Arrow Highway and Monte Vista Avenue, both of which are arterial streets that can accommodate higher densities and projects that contribute to the ongoing development of an attractive and continuous streetscape.
MONTCLAIR CITY COUNCIL MEETING – 07/18/2022 Page 15 of 259 The proposed project would result in a significant improvement to the appearance of the area by redeveloping an underutilized and unattractive area into a well– designed residential development, which makes efficient use of the site and complies with the intent and applicable development standards of the NMDSP. The 137 dwelling units on the 2.85–acre site amounts to 48 dwelling units per acre overall and is consistent with the CR and TC density ranges. The site plan, building form, massing, and height will contribute to the ongoing formation of the streetscape and development pattern envisioned by the NMDSP.
Building placement, orientation to the street, and massing all work to create a distinctive and strong street corner presence without turning away from the street or resorting to architectural gimmickry. Further, the massing of the buildings is broken up across the project’s three primary street frontages so there are no long continuous blank walls facing the adjacent streets.
The proposed architectural design of the project as indicated in the submitted plans is well done, attractive, and complementary to recent development in the area. The design is consistent with the architectural style guidelines depicted in the NMDSP, and features architectural details, including the distribution of windows and doors, which add appropriate visual interest, and pedestrian scale, which result in a distinctive and pleasing appearance. The use of quality exterior materials and finishes, appropriate lighting, and landscape materials, all complement the project.
Public Comment from Adjoining Property Owners
This item was advertised as a public hearing in the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin newspaper on July 8, 2022. Public hearing notices were mailed out to property owners within 300– foot radius from the boundaries of the subject property in accordance with State law. At the time this report was prepared, staff received no comments or inquiries.
Environmental Assessment
The City of Montclair analyzed the Alexan–Kendry Expansion project to determine whether subsequent environmental review is required under State of California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15162 based on the certified North Montclair Downtown Specific Plan Amendment Project Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (SCH No. 2009091021). The City engaged Dudek to prepare a CEQA consistency memorandum to determine whether subsequent environmental review would be required for the Alexan–Kendry Expansion project.
Based on that analysis, it is apparent that none of the conditions in State CEQA Guidelines would occur as a result of the modification proposed by the Alexan–Kendry Expansion project, which is consistent with the North Montclair Downtown Specific Plan Amendment Project. The impacts of the Alexan–Kendry project would be consistent with the impacts identified in the original North Montclair Downtown Specific Plan Amendment Project Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (SCH No. 2009091021), which was certified by the City of Montclair City Council on March 20, 2017 via Resolution No. 17–3147. Because the Alexan–Kendry Expansion project would not result in new impacts or any substantial changes to any significant effects previously identified, no other environmental review is required.
MONTCLAIR CITY COUNCIL MEETING – 07/18/2022 Page 16 of 259 In addition, and in the alternative, the Alexan–Kendry Expansion project is exempt from CEQA pursuant to Government Code section 65457, which provides that “[a]ny residential development project, including any subdivision, or any zoning change that is undertaken to implement and is consistent with a specific plan for which an environmental impact report has been certified after January 1, 1980, is exempt”. As stated above and shown in the CEQA consistency memorandum, the Alexan–Kendry Expansion project is consistent with the North Montclair Downtown Specific Plan Amendment Project Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Report, and therefore is exempt from environmental review.
FISCAL IMPACT: Although the existing site for the proposed project contains a number of commercial and light industrial uses generating sales tax revenue, its redevelopment for residential uses will produce other revenues for the City’s General Fund. Increases in property values from new construction will yield increased property tax revenue.
Other revenue sources include utility user taxes related to new residents using utility services, vehicle license fees related to the registration of vehicles to City addresses, and sales taxes generated from new residents shopping and dining locally. Further, building, planning, and engineering fees paid by the developer will reimburse the City for costs associated with entitling the project; park development fees for public green space; and traffic/development impact fees, which largely benefit the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority. School impact fees that benefit the Ontario–Montclair School District and Chaffey Joint Union High School District, and impact fees by the Inland Empire Utility Agency (IEUA) will provide funds for IEUA facilities expansion, with ten percent of this fee collected for expansion of the City sewer system.
Lastly, to offset the cost of providing City services delivered to the project such as street maintenance and public safety services, a Community Facilities District (CFD) for the project will be established. The project’s immediate proximity to the Montclair Police Station (northwest corner of Arrow Highway and Monte Vista Avenue) and Fire Station No. 151 (southeast corner of Arrow Highway and Monte Vista Avenue) is anticipated to minimize costs associated with demand for, and/or delivery of, public safety services.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the City Council adopt Resolution No. 22–3367 making findings pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act and approving a Precise Plan of Design for a proposed 137–unit residential apartment project within the North Montclair Downtown Specific Plan on 2.85 acres at the southwest corner of Arrow Highway and Monte Vista Avenue.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Montclair does hereby find and determine as follows:
SECTION 1. Based upon the facts and information contained in the application, together with all written and oral reports included for the environmental assessment for the application, the City Council finds that the proposed project is exempt from further environmental review pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines, Section 15162 and Government Code section 65457 based on the following findings of fact:
A. On March 20, 2017, the City Council certified a Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (SEIR) for the amended and updated North Montclair Downtown Specific Plan project.
B. The proposed apartment community consists of 137 units and is undertaken pursuant to and in conformity with the density and design standards of the NMDSP.
C. None of the conditions requiring subsequent environmental review called out in State CEQA Guidelines, section 15162 are present. Specifically,
1. Substantial changes are not proposed in the project that would require major revisions of the SEIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; and
2. Substantial changes with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken that would require major revisions to the SEIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of the previously identified significant effects have not occurred; and
3. New information of substantial importance that was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the SEIR was certified or adopted, as applicable, showing any of the following, has not come to light: (i) that the project would have one or more significant effects not discussed in the earlier environmental documentation; (ii) that significant effects previously examined would be substantially more severe than shown in the MONTCLAIR CITY COUNCIL MEETING – 07/18/2022 Page 19 of 259 Resolution No. 22–3367 Page 3 of 4
earlier environmental documentation; (iii) that mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects, but the applicant declined to adopt such measures; or (iv) that mitigation measures or alternatives considerably different from those previously analyzed would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but which the applicant declined to adopt.
D. In addition, and in the alternative, the proposed project is exempt from CEQA pursuant to Government Code section 65457 because it is a residential development project that implements and is consistent with the NMDSP Amendment Project Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Report.
E. Based on these findings and all evidence in the record, the City Council finds that no additional environmental review is required in connection with the City's consideration of Case No. 2021–36 for the proposed 137– unit apartment community development.
SECTION 2. Based on the entire record before the City Council, all written and oral evidence presented to the City Council, and the findings and recitals set forth in this Resolution, the City Council approves a Precise Plan of Design under Case No. 2021–36 for a 137–unit apartment community, subject to the conditions of approval set forth in attached Exhibit "A" and as depicted in the submitted site plan, elevations, and renderings submitted by the owner, Kendry II Apartments Owner LLC, on March 1, 2022.
SECTION 3. Based on the entire record before the City Council and all written and oral evidence presented to the City Council, the City Council finds as follows for the approval of a Precise Plan of Design under Case No. 2021–36:
A. The proposed 137–unit residential apartment project is consistent with the "Planned Development" land use designation of the City’s General Plan Land Use Map, and the CR ("Corridor Residential") and TC (Town Center) land use designations of the North Montclair Downtown Specific Plan. Both the CR and TC land use districts allow for higher density residential projects in appropriate locations as indicated on the NMDSP land use map. The proposed project will be on a site currently occupied with a mix of commercial structures and surface parking, that when developed with the proposed project will include both pedestrian and vehicular links to the Montclair Transcenter and other developed streets within the NMDSP planning area.
B. The proposed project would result in a significant improvement to the appearance of the area by redeveloping an underutilized and unattractive area into a well–designed residential development, which makes efficient use of the site and complies with the intent and applicable development standards of the NMDSP. The 137 dwelling units on the 2.85–acre site amount to 48 dwelling units per acre overall and is consistent with the CR and TC density ranges.
C. The site plan, building form, massing, and heights are appropriate for the site and will contribute to the advancement of the design goals and policies and the ongoing formation of the streetscape and development pattern envisioned by the NMDSP. Building placement, and orientation to the streets, all work to create a distinctive living environment.
D. The proposed architectural design of the project as indicated in the submitted plans is well done, attractive, and complementary to recent development in the area. The design is consistent with the architectural style guidelines depicted in the NMDSP, and features and architectural details, including the distribution of windows and doors, which add appropriate visual interest, and pedestrian scale, which results in a distinctive and pleasing appearance. The use of quality exterior materials and finishes, appropriate lighting, and landscape materials, all complement the project.
MONTCLAIR CITY COUNCIL MEETING – 07/18/2022 Page 20 of 259 Resolution No. 22–3367 Page 4 of 4
SECTION 4. Pursuant to Section 66412.3 of the Government Code, based on the entire record before the City Council and all written and oral evidence presented to the City Council, the City Council finds the proposed residential and associated improvements will help the City of Montclair to meet its regional housing needs as the project proposes the construction of 137 residential units, which will help the City meet its identified housing unit RHNA allocation.
SECTION 5. Based on the entire record before the City Council and all written and oral evidence presented to the City Council, the City Council finds the nature and extent of the dedications, reservations, impact fees, and other exactions are reasonably related to public needs and roughly proportional to the impacts created by the project.
In addition, several conditions, including conditions relating to the imposition of operational covenants for the rental development are necessary to assure the development maintains compliance with the City's general plan and zoning standards.
SECTION 6. The location and custodian of the documents and any other material that constitute the record of proceedings upon which the City Council based its decision is as follows: Director of Community Development, Community Development Department, City of Montclair, 5111 Benito Street, Montclair, California 91763, or by telephone at (909) 625–9477.
SECTION 7. City Council directs City staff to cause a Notice of Determination to be filed and posted with the County Clerk within five working days of the adoption of this Resolution.
SECTION 8. Effective Date. This Resolution shall become effective upon its adoption.

SUBJECT: CONSIDER APPROVAL OF THE FILING OF A NOTICE OF COMPLETION FOR THE
PACIFIC ELECTRIC TRAIL BRIDGE REPLACEMENT PROJECT WITH THE SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY RECORDER’S OFFICE
CONSIDER AUTHORIZING THE RELEASE OF RETENTION OF THE PAYMENT BOND 30
DAYS AFTER RECORDATION OF THE NOTICE OF COMPLETION
REASON FOR CONSIDERATION: State law requires Notice of Completions to be recorded with the County Recorder upon acceptance of a Public Works project. The City Council is requested to consider approving the filing of a Notice of Completion with the San Bernardino County Recorder’s Office and taking related actions concerning the Pacific Electric Trail Bridge Replacement Project.
BACKGROUND: On January 18, 2022, Sunquest General Engineering, Inc. was awarded a construction contract for the Pacific Electric Trail Bridge Replacement Project and entered into Agreement No. 22–04 with the City. The project included demolition of the damaged bridge, site preparation, placement of the new bridge, and fabrication of electrical conduits and handrails. Sunquest General Engineering, Inc. was awarded a construction contract for $117,080.
During construction, there were three change orders that ultimately resulted in a decrease in the overall project cost. The final construction cost was $114,043.00 resulting in a savings of $3,037.
Aside from construction costs, the project had additional expenses that included design, purchase of the bridge, and advertisement of the project. The additional expenses totaled $168,355.67. The overall cost for the replacement of the bridge is $282,398.67.
The City was granted a total amount of $327,000 from the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority (SBCTA) for replacement costs of the bridge. The bridge was completed $44,601.33 below the appropriated amount from SBCTA.
FISCAL IMPACT: The construction cost for the Pacific Electric Trail Bridge Replacement Project was $114,043, well within the contract award authority of $117,080. The project did not impact the City’s General Fund because the SBCTA grant covered the total project cost of $282,398.67.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council take the following actions related to the Pacific Electric Trail Bridge Replacement Project:
1. Approve the filing of a Notice of Completion for the Pacific Electric Trail Bridge Replacement Project by Sunquest General Engineering, Inc., with the San Bernardino County Recorder’s Office.
2. Authorize the release of retention of the payment bond 30 days after recordation of the Notice of Completion.

SUBJECT: CONSIDER RECEIVING AND FILING THE SAN ANTONIO CREEK TRAIL FEASIBILITY STUDY BY ALTA PLANNING + DESIGN, INC.
REASON FOR CONSIDERATION: The San Antonio Creek Trail Feasibility Study has been completed and the City Council is requested to consider receiving and filing the feasibility study.
BACKGROUND: On October 28, 2020, the City entered into a Restricted Grant Agreement (RGA) with the California Department of Transportation for the City of Montclair San Antonio Creek Channel Multimodal Connectivity Plan. The total grant of $201,000 included $177,945 for preparation of a feasibility study and a required a local match of $23,055. At its meeting on February 16, 2021, the City Council approved Agreement No. 21–05 with Alta Planning + Design, Inc. (Alta) for preparation of the feasibility study, and the City met the local match with City staff time.
The scope of work of the feasibility study included the following:
Project Overview
Goals and Objectives
Public Outreach
Existing Conditions and Constraints
Trail Design Standards
Operations and Maintenance
Cost and Funding
Quarterly Reports
Final Report
Montclair’s vision for the San Antonio Creek Trail consists of a vibrant, connected, and safe multi–use greenway path that will run through the entire City from its northern limits at the Pacific Electric (PE) Trail near Monte Vista Avenue and Richton Street, and continuing three miles south to Montclair’s border at Mission Boulevard. When complete, the entire length of the trail would provide new connections between neighborhoods and to parks, recreation centers, schools, transit areas, job centers, and other community destinations.
Building the San Antonio Creek Trail would bring a number of quality–of–life improvements to the Montclair community, identified by various state agencies as a disadvantaged community. An investment in the San Antonio Creek Trail would improve public health, economic opportunity, and environmental and transportation benefits for the Montclair community and surrounding cities. Environmentally, construction of the trail could encourage area residents to shift from the use of personal vehicles to other forms of transportation, including walking, cycling, and the use of public transit, resulting in lower traffic congestion, lower greenhouse gas emissions, improved air MONTCLAIR CITY COUNCIL MEETING – 07/18/2022 Page 62 of 259 quality, and higher levels of physical activity, thereby improving the health and wellbeing of the region’s residents.
The proposed future trail would provide opportunities for residents making trips across the region to get to work or school, run errands, or visit friends and family through an active transportation network. Proximity of the trail to the Montclair Transcenter, a major transit hub with connections to rail and bus services, would create an important link for commuters connecting to other parts of the Southern California region and other forms of public transit.
Additionally, because modes such as walking and biking provide some of the lowest– cost forms of transportation, constructing the trail is projected to produce positive economic, transportation, and equity benefits for those disadvantaged communities adjacent to the San Antonio Creek Trail.
The feasibility study was produced with input and collaboration from City staff and key stakeholders including Caltrans, the Chino Basin Water Conservation District (CBWCD), private developers, various rail agencies, and community members. A copy of the completed feasibility study is available to download and view online and is on file in the Public Works Department. Hard copies were also provided to the City Council during the Council Workshop on May 2, 2022, during which the feasibility study was first presented to the City Council.
The proposed trail was split into five segments, as illustrated in Exhibit A to this report.
Segments break at locations of major barriers (Metrolink Railway, I–10 Freeway, and Union Pacific Railway) and/or logical construction phases that connect to existing or planned active transportation facilities or key community destinations.
Segment 1: Pacific Electric Trail to Arrow Highway
The northern limits of the City and project corridor are bordered by the PE Trail. As the San Antonio Creek channel moves south through Segment 1, it crosses the existing Metrolink rail corridor, and there are several alignment alternatives to navigate this barrier. The segment ends at the first major road crossing at Arrow Highway. This alignment features a path along the west bank of the creek channel with a diagonal overcrossing at the Metrolink rail line, and continues along the east bank of the creek corridor along the Montclair Police Department property, running south to Arrow Highway. There are fewer challenges when it comes to easements with this segment, and rail line overcrossings are generally preferred by Metrolink. The section north of the rail line will be improved as part of a planned development known as Montclair Station.
The trail to the south of the rail line can utilize the existing wide parkway area along the Police Department property to connect to the segment north of the rail line.
Segment 1 Design Construction
Short Term Cost — At–Grade Construction $326,371 $2,175,808 Long Term Cost — Option A (Overcrossing) $2,487,594 $16,583,958 Long Term Cost — Option B (Undercrossing) $3,128,879 $20,859,192 MONTCLAIR CITY COUNCIL MEETING – 07/18/2022 Page 63 of 259 Segment 2: Arrow Highway to San Jose Street
As the San Antonio Creek channel moves south through the City, it passes along the west edge of four large percolation basins operated by the CBWCD. The west bank alignment in Segment 2 maximizes area for additional landscape planting, with some areas close to 25 feet wide. There are opportunities along the west bank for trailheads and a connection to Moreno Vista Park. The west bank does not fall within the CBWCD basins, and therefore does not conflict with basin or power line operations and maintenance. The design cost estimate is $348,840 and the estimated construction cost is $2,674,439. The total project cost for Segment 2 is $3,023,279.
Segment 3: San Jose Street to San Bernardino Street
In Segment 3, the San Antonio creek corridor passes along basins 3 and 4 and crosses the I–10 Freeway, which is identified as a major barrier. The west bank alignment starting north of the I–10 Freeway travels south to utilize an existing I–10 freeway undercrossing.
South of the I–10 freeway, the alignment crosses a local street and switches to the east side of the creek channel along the CBWCD basin. At this location, the alignment provides direct connection to paths and amenities within the CBWCD Waterwise Community Center.
Segment 3 Design Construction
Short Term Cost — At–Grade Construction $311,014 $2,073,428 Long Term Cost — Grade Separated Construction $1,141,325 $7,608,835 Segment 4: San Bernardino Street to Holt Boulevard
Segment 4 does not cross any major barriers until it reaches Holt Boulevard, and the surrounding context is mainly residential. The east bank alignment in Segment 4 provides an opportunity for direct connection to Sunset Park and Lehigh Elementary School for recreational and educational opportunities, respectively. The design cost estimate is $1,452,722. The construction cost estimate is $9,684,813. The total project cost for Segment 4 is $11,137,535.
Segment 5: Holt Boulevard to Mission Boulevard
The final segment of the corridor crosses two major barriers: Holt Boulevard and the Union Pacific (UP) rail corridor. Due to the major constraints surrounding the UP rail crossing and the surrounding largely industrial land use south of Holt Boulevard, the trail construction would temporarily terminate at Holt Boulevard. A future phase of the trail’s development can extend the trail south from Holt Boulevard to Mission Boulevard, and potentially link with future extension and development of the trail in the City of Pomona. This extension will require further funding and coordination with UP. The preferred alignment for Segment 5 is on the west bank with at–grade crossing at Holt Boulevard and overcrossing at the UP rail corridor. This alignment provides more space for a path to ramp up and cross the UP rail corridor, which makes it the most feasible alignment that follows along the channel.
Segment 5 Design Construction
Short Term Cost — At–Grade Construction $876,868 $5,845,784 Long Term Cost — Option A (Bend Grade Separation) $3,594,658 $23,964,387 Long Term Cost — Option B (Straight Grade Separation) $3,589,709 $23,931,390 MONTCLAIR CITY COUNCIL MEETING – 07/18/2022 Page 64 of 259 Currently, there is an existing trail on both sides of the San Antonio Creek Channel in the City of Upland between 11th Street and Foothill Boulevard. Staff is working on the design of the pilot trail project along the east side of the San Antonio Creek Channel as part of the grant–funded Sunset Park improvements. Finally, it is the intent of staff to pursue grant funding for the design and construction of future segments of the San Antonio Creek Trail.
FISCAL IMPACT: The feasibility study was funded through the Sustainable Communities SB 1 Grant funds received through the Caltrans Sustainable Transportation Planning Program. The City Council’s receiving and filing of the feasibility study would have no direct fiscal impact.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the City Council receive and file the San Antonio Creek Trail Feasibility Study by Alta Planning + Design, Inc.

SUBJECT: CONSIDER APPROVAL OF TRACT MAP NO. 20384 FOR 10680 SILICON AVENUE CONSIDER AUTHORIZING STAFF TO RECORD TRACT MAP NO. 20384 WITH THE SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY RECORDER’S OFFICE
REASON FOR CONSIDERATION: Pursuant to Montclair Municipal Code Chapter 11.86, all subdivisions of land associated with development projects are subject to final review and approval by the City Council.
BACKGROUND: On July 19, 2021, the City Council approved Tentative Tract Map No. 20384 to create 20 industrial condominiums at 10680 Silicon Avenue. The project is known as The Orange Grove Business Park. The General Plan land use designation of this 3.18–acre site is Business Park, and the zoning is M–1 Limited Manufacturing.
Site improvement associated with the map include the following elements:
108 onsite parking spaces
Trash enclosures
A master sign program
Drought–tolerant landscaping
New perimeter walls and fencing
As part of an industrial condominium project, Covenant, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs) are required and must be recorded with the approved Tract Map to ensure proper maintenance of the property, including areas owned in common. The CC&Rs will be administered by a property management company to ensure daily maintenance, assignment of parking spaces, proper use of the units, and security of the site.
Finally, the tract map is consistent with the City of Montclair’s General Plan and Zoning Ordinance requirements for parcels within the M–1 zone. The City’s Public Works Department reviewed and approved the improvement plans.
FISCAL IMPACT: Approval of Tract Map No. 20384, in conjunction with the development of the site, would result in positive long–term economic benefits for the City. The new project improvements would enhance property values in the area and offer new business opportunities not present on the site and that contribute to additional tax revenue to the City.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the City Council take the following actions:
1. Approve Tract Map No. 20384 for 10680 Silicon Avenue.
2. Authorize staff to record Tract Map No. 20384 with the San Bernardino County Recorder’s Office.

SUBJECT: CONSIDER AUTHORIZING A $23,680 APPROPRIATION FROM THE CONTINGENCY FUND FOR EMERGENCY REPLACEMENT OF 20 PREMIER LINK CONTROLLERS FOR AIR CONDITIONING UNITS DAMAGED BY THE THUNDERSTORM ON JUNE 22, 2022 REASON FOR CONSIDERATION: The City council is requested to consider authorizing the emergency replacement of twenty Premier Link controllers. Unbudgeted purchases over $15,000 require City Council approval.
BACKGROUND: On June 22, 2022, lightning from a thunderstorm short–circuited twenty Premier Link controllers on air conditioning units throughout City facilities. Premier Link controllers are circuit boards that control the communication between the air conditioning units and the computer server. Currently, staff is unable to communicate with and program twenty air conditioning units. The affected air conditioning units cannot be turned on, turned off, or have temperature settings adjusted.
The air conditioning units that are affected supply air conditioning and heat to offices and common rooms throughout City Hall, the Center and Recreation Centers, the Library, the City Yard, and Fire Station No. 152.
Staff recommends replacement of the Premier Link controllers by AirEx. AirEx is considered the Vendor of Choice as they are a Carrier controls expert and are familiar with all of the HVAC units throughout the City that are controlled by the Carrier iVu system.
FISCAL IMPACT: The cost to replace twenty Premier Link controllers is $23,680.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the City Council authorize a $23,680 appropriation from the Contingency Fund for the emergency replacement of twenty Premier Link controllers for air conditioning units damaged by the thunderstorm on June 22, 2022.

SUBJECT: CONSIDER APPROVAL OF AGREEMENT NO. 22–40 WITH CORELOGIC SOLUTIONS,
LLC FOR PARCELPOINT GIS MAPPING DATA ACCESS FOR USE IN CAD/RMS AND NEXT GENERATION 9–1–1 SERVICES, SUBJECT TO ANY REVISIONS DEEMED NECESSARY BY
THE CITY ATTORNEY
CONSIDER AUTHORIZING A $2,010 APPROPRIATION FROM THE PROP 30/AB 109 FUND TO PAY THE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH AGREEMENT NO. 22–40 REASON FOR CONSIDERATION: To respond more efficiently to reported emergencies, the City Council is requested to consider approval of Agreement No. 22–40 with Corelogic Solutions, LLC for ParcelPoint GIS mapping data access for use in CAD/RMS and Next Generation 9–1–1 services, and to authorize a $2,010 appropriation from the Prop 30/AB 109 Fund to pay the costs associated with said agreement.
A copy of proposed Agreement No. 22–40 is attached for the City Council’s review and consideration.
BACKGROUND: City of Montclair public safety departments rely on accurate mapping data for both 9–1–1 response as well as accurate tracking of crimes and other emergencies. As technology has improved, street addresses have been augmented with GPS maps of streets, helping Police and Fire Department personnel arrive quickly and safely. Technology continues to improve, and the Next Generation of 9–1–1 is being developed and is nearing completion. Next Generation 9–1–1 will have additional advanced features including the ability to more accurately pinpoint the source and provide enhanced caller information. In order to function properly, more precise GIS mapping data is required than what the City currently uses. The California Office of Emergency Services, which is facilitating our Next Generation 9–1–1 update, is requiring this enhanced mapping data before implementation can begin. This had been delayed due to the pandemic, but is expected to be completed soon.
As a side benefit, this enhanced mapping data provides a significant advantage to the Police Department, which is the Public Safety Answering Point through which all 9–1–1 calls are filtered. The data can also be utilized in the recently upgraded Computer Aided Dispatch and Records Management System, providing dispatch and responding officers address data for each parcel, more accurate boundary lines, and property owner information. This data changes regularly as boundaries move and property owners change. Having this data update regularly is imperative to maintaining the capabilities of the new systems.
The Information Technology Department identified Corelogic as the preferred vendor to provide this service and noted it is a local vendor that has been utilized in the past to provide GIS mapping data for other City projects. There are no other viable alternatives to provide this data at a comparable price.
MONTCLAIR CITY COUNCIL MEETING – 07/18/2022 Page 73 of 259 Corelogic Solutions, LLC provided a quote of $2,010 for a year of access to its ParcelPoint GIS mapping data for the City, which includes four updates per year. The term of the proposed agreement is one year with a 3 percent cost increase for each year thereafter.
FISCAL IMPACT: If authorized by the City Council, funding for Agreement No. 22–40 would result in an appropriation of $2,010 from the Prop 30/AB 109 Fund (1141).
Additional years of service, if authorized by the City Council, would result in an expenditure of $2,010 plus 3 percent for each year thereafter from the City’s General Fund.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the City Council take the following actions:
1. Approve Agreement No. 22–40 with Corelogic Solutions, LLC for ParcelPoint GIS mapping data access for use in CAD/RMS and Next Generation 9–1–1 services, subject to any revisions deemed necessary by the City Attorney.

1. Agreement Structure.
1.1 Each SOW executed by the Parties under this MSA
shall be subject to these terms and conditions as well as any additional terms and conditions set forth in the Addendum hereunder applicable to such SOW, if any. Each SOW shall specifically reference this MSA, the Addendum to which such SOW is subject, if any, the specific services provided by CoreLogic to Customer (together with any applicable
documentation, corrections, bug fixes, updates or other modifications, the “Services”), delivery methods, and Fees; and set forth, to the extent applicable: (1) the authorized use of the Services (“Permitted Applications”); (2) any third parties authorized to use the Services or Customer’s products
incorporating or relying on the Services, as permitted in the Permitted Applications, for their own internal purposes only (“End Users”); (3) any entities authorized to use the Services as long as such entity controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with Customer (“Permitted Affiliate”); and (4) any independent entities authorized to store, access, process, or use the Services solely on behalf of Customer (“Permitted
Processor”) (End Users, Permitted Affiliates, and Permitted Processors collectively and as applicable, “Permitted Users”).
1.2 When fully executed by authorized signatories of the Parties, each SOW shall be incorporated into, and shall form a part of, this Agreement. Only the CoreLogic entity executing a specific Addendum or SOW shall incur any obligation or liability to Customer under such Addendum or SOW. Only the Customer entity executing a specific Addendum or SOW or named as a Permitted Affiliate shall incur any rights under such Addendum or SOW. The provisions of the various Agreement documents shall, to the extent possible, be interpreted so as to supplement each other and avoid any conflict between them. In the event of a conflict between this MSA, the Addendum and the applicable SOW, the order of precedence shall be as follows, listed in descending order of priority: the SOW; the Addendum; and this MSA.
2. Ownership. CoreLogic or its third party licensors own and hold all right, title and interest in and to the Services, including without limitation, all underlying data compilations and information, all materials related to the Services and all patents, trademarks, copyrights and trade secrets (collectively, “Intellectual Property”) derived from the Services,
notwithstanding that portions of the Services may be derived in whole or in part from publicly available sources. For the avoidance of doubt, CoreLogic does not own or have any right in and to Customer’s data and other materials received by Customer from its other suppliers.
3. Fees; Taxes.
3.1. Fees. Customer shall pay CoreLogic the fees for the Services (“Fees”) as set forth in each SOW within thirty (30) days of the date of CoreLogic’s invoice via check, electronic check, wire transfer/ACH, credit card (“Card”), or other payment method agreed by the Parties. If Customer elects to pay any Fees using a Card or via any electronic invoicing system or portal (“Invoicing Portal”), it may be subject to additional fees. In the event that Customer reasonably disputes any portion of an invoice and provides written notice and documentation of such dispute, the Parties shall resolve such dispute in good faith, provided that in all cases, Customer shall timely pay the undisputed portion of any disputed invoice. If Customer does not deliver a notice of dispute within such thirty (30) day period, Customer shall be deemed to have agreed to the Fees set forth therein. If full payment is not made in compliance with this Section 3.1 (Fees) or the applicable SOW, Customer may be assessed a late charge equal to one and one half (1½%) percent of the unpaid amount per month, or the maximum limit permitted by law, whichever is less. If Customer fails to pay any past due Fees not reasonably in dispute within thirty (30) days of CoreLogic’s written notice of such delinquency, CoreLogic, at its sole option, may suspend access or delivery of any Services provided under this Agreement until all past due charges and any related late charges are paid, or terminate the applicable SOW(s). During any period for which access or delivery of the Services is suspended, Customer shall continue to incur and pay any Fees due.
3.2. Taxes. Fees are exclusive of taxes. Customer shall be responsible for all legally required taxes, duties, or other assessments imposed upon the Services, exclusive of any income taxes imposed upon CoreLogic. When CoreLogic has the legal obligation to collect taxes, the appropriate amount shall be added to CoreLogic’s invoice via a separate line item and paid by Customer, unless Customer provides CoreLogic with a valid tax exemption certificate prior to issuance of the invoice. Such certificate must be in a form authorized by the appropriate taxing authority.
4. Trademarks. No right or license for either Party to use the trademarks or service marks (collectively, the “Marks”) of the other Party is granted under this Agreement, except that Customer shall have the limited right to use the Marks solely as they appear in the Services. Neither Party shall use the Marks of the other in any advertising or promotional material nor shall Customer disclose CoreLogic as a data source to any third party, except for such disclosures required by federal, state or local government law or regulations, or as otherwise may be prior authorized in writing by the other Party. Customer shall not remove, alter or obscure any Marks or proprietary notices contained in the Services or other materials provided by CoreLogic. For purposes of clarification, maintaining such Marks or proprietary notices in the Services or other materials provided by CoreLogic shall not be considered by CoreLogic to be a disclosure by Customer of CoreLogic as a data source.
5. Compliance with Law; CCPA.
5.1 Compliance with Law. CoreLogic’s provision of
the Services and Customer’s use of the Services shall comply with all applicable laws, statutes, ordinances and regulations, including if and to the extent applicable, the Gramm-Leach Bliley Act of 1999 (15 U.S.C. Section 6801 et seq.) and the regulations promulgated thereunder and the Interagency Guidelines
Establishing Standards for Safeguarding Customer Information.
Unless otherwise expressly stated in a SOW, Customer agrees and acknowledges that the Services are not “consumer reports” as defined in the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. 1681, et. seq., and Customer shall not use, or permit any End User to use, the Services in whole or in part for the purpose of serving as a factor in establishing a consumer’s eligibility for credit, insurance, employment purposes, or any other purpose enumerated in 15 U.S.C. 1681b.
5.2 California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). This
Section 5.2 applies to the extent that either Party receives personal information of California consumers ("Personal Information") from the other Party for the purpose of providing services for the other Party under a SOW that is not otherwise subject to an exception or exclusion under the CCPA, provided that such SOW does not also permit the Personal Information to be licensed, resold, or redistributed to third parties. The Party providing the MONTCLAIR CITY COUNCIL MEETING – 07/18/2022 Page 76 of 259 SR000443655501 Lic Addend 07 10 2022 jc Page 3 of 8 Confidential 2010-8FSK8J CLv110120-1
services is a "service provider" and the Party receiving the services is a "business" as defined by the CCPA (Cal. Civ. Code §§ 1798.100 et seq.) and the CCPA Regulations (Title 11, Div. 1, Ch 20. §§ 999.300 et seq.). The service provider will comply with the provisions set forth in § 999.314 (Service Providers), or successor provision, of the CCPA Regulations.
6. Confidentiality.
6.1. Confidential Information. Each Party may obtain
nonpublic information from the other Party that is confidential and proprietary in nature (“Confidential Information”). Such Confidential Information includes, but is not limited to, the terms of this Agreement, the Services and any information relating thereto, information regarding a Party’s current, future and proposed products and services, product designs, plans and roadmaps, prices and costs, trade secrets, patents, patent applications, development plans, ideas, samples, media, techniques, works of authorship, models, inventions, know-how, processes, algorithms, software schematics, code and source documents, data, formulas, financial information, procurement requirements, customer lists, suppliers, investors, employees, business and contractual relationships, sales and marketing plans, Personal Information, nonpublic personal information of consumers as defined by the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (15 U.S.C.
Section 6809) and any implementing regulations or guidelines, and any other information the receiving Party knows or
reasonably ought to know is confidential, proprietary, or trade secret information of the disclosing Party. Confidential Information may be written or verbal. Confidential Information also includes any and all third-party nonpublic information provided to the receiving Party by the disclosing Party.
6.2. Obligations. The Parties agree that at all times, and notwithstanding the termination or expiration of this Agreement, they shall hold all Confidential Information of the other Party in strict confidence and trust, and shall not use, reproduce or disclose the Confidential Information of the other Party to any person or entity except as specifically permitted in this Agreement. Any reproduction of Confidential Information shall remain the property of the disclosing Party and shall contain all confidential or proprietary notices or legends which appear on the original, unless otherwise authorized in writing by the disclosing Party.
Each Party may disclose Confidential Information of the other Party only to those of its contractors, consultants and advisors (collectively, “Representatives”) who have previously agreed to be bound by confidentiality terms and conditions at least as restrictive as those set forth in this Agreement and who have a need to know such information. The receiving Party shall be responsible for any use of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information by the receiving Party’s Representatives. The receiving Party shall promptly notify the disclosing Party upon confirming any loss or unauthorized disclosure of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information. Within thirty (30) days of the disclosing Party’s request, the receiving Party shall destroy the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information and certify such destruction in writing signed by an authorized representative of the receiving Party.
6.3. Exclusions to Confidentiality. The restrictions on use and disclosure of Confidential Information set forth in Section
6.2 (Obligations) shall not apply to the extent the Confidential Information: (i) is or becomes generally available to the public through no fault of the receiving Party (or anyone acting on its behalf); (ii) was previously rightfully known to the receiving Party free of any obligation to keep it confidential; (iii) is subsequently disclosed to the receiving Party by a third party who may rightfully transfer and disclose the information without restriction and free of any obligation to keep it confidential; (iv) is independently developed by the receiving Party or a third party without reference or access to the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information; or (v) is otherwise agreed upon in writing by the Parties not to be subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 6.2 (Obligation). Notwithstanding that portions of the Services may be derived in whole or in part from publicly available sources, the Services and any of CoreLogic’s databases used in deriving the Services are proprietary, copyrighted and trade secrets of CoreLogic and, for the avoidance of doubt, are not excluded under this Section 6.3 (Exclusions to Confidentiality) from the restrictions on use and disclosure set forth in Section 6.2 (Obligations). For clarification purposes, the foregoing sentence applies only to the Services and does not limit Customer’s ability to use information obtained from other sources.
6.4. Disclosures Required by Law. The receiving Party
may disclose Confidential Information if required to do so as a matter of law, regulation, subpoena or court order, provided that, to the extent legally permitted: (i) the receiving Party shall provide the disclosing Party with at least ten (10) days’ prior notice of such disclosure, (ii) the receiving Party shall disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information that is legally required to be furnished, (iii) the receiving Party shall use reasonable efforts to seek from the party to which the information must be disclosed confidential treatment of the disclosed Confidential Information; and (iv) the receiving Party allows the disclosing Party to intervene in the action at its own cost.
7. Information Security. Each Party shall implement or have an information security program that includes appropriate administrative, technical, and physical safeguards reasonably designed to: (i) ensure the security and confidentiality of consumer information; (ii) protect against any anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of consumer information; (iii) protect against unauthorized access to or use of consumer information that could result in substantial harm or inconvenience to any consumer; (iv) notify the other Party of a security breach that materially impacts such Party’s Confidential Information and (v) ensures disposal of the consumer information in a secure manner.

Customer shall: (a) prevent unauthorized access to, or use of, the CoreLogic provided applications (if any), and notify CoreLogic promptly of any such unauthorized access or use of which Customer becomes aware; (b) ensure that a user login is used by only one person (a single login shared by multiple persons is not permitted); and (c) maintain the security of its users’ CoreLogic account names and passwords.
8. Business Continuity. CoreLogic shall maintain appropriate contingency plans providing for continued operation in the event of a catastrophic event affecting CoreLogic business operations.
CoreLogic will furnish a summary of its business continuity policies and practices to Customer upon request.
9. Indemnification.

(a) CoreLogic shall indemnify, defend and hold
Customer harmless from and against any losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from a claim, suit or proceeding brought against Customer by a third party to the extent it is based on a claim that the Services infringe a United States Intellectual Property right (each, an “Infringement Claim”).
CoreLogic’s obligations with respect to this Section 9.1 are MONTCLAIR CITY COUNCIL MEETING – 07/18/2022 Page 77 of 259 SR000443655501 Lic Addend 07 10 2022 jc Page 4 of 8 Confidential 2010-8FSK8J CLv110120-1

If Customer does not accept or comply with
CoreLogic’s chosen option, CoreLogic shall have no obligation to indemnify Customer for the Infringement Claim to the extent resulting from such refusal or noncompliance.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, CoreLogic
shall have no obligation to indemnify Customer to the extent an Infringement Claim arises from (i) the combination, operation or use of the Services with any other software, data, products or materials not supplied by CoreLogic, (ii) the use of the Services other than as expressly provided in the Permitted Applications or otherwise in violation of the terms and conditions of this Agreement; (iii) the alteration or modification of the Services by any person other than CoreLogic; (iv) CoreLogic’s compliance with Customer’s designs, specifications or instructions.

by either Party if the other Party breaches any provision of such SOW, including a provision of this Agreement: (i) upon at least 30 days’ notice to the breaching Party if such breach is capable of being cured and the breaching Party does not cure such breach within the thirty (30) day period; or (ii) immediately upon notice to the breaching Party for a breach of any license grant, breach of Section 5 (Compliance with Law), or if such breach is not capable of being cured.

Customer, upon request, will also be entitled to review via a secure data portal, CoreLogic’s policies, standards, and collateral evidence of security controls. In addition, CoreLogic agrees to conduct quarterly client audits (each a “Quarterly Audit”) for its clients to verify that CoreLogic understands and is capable of complying with its obligations under this Agreement and applicable law. Customer (subject to a non-disclosure agreement reasonably acceptable to CoreLogic) will be able to participate in the Quarterly Audit once per calendar year, which will include the ability for Customer to perform a limited inspection of CoreLogic’s premises under CoreLogic’s supervision, provided that Customer shall not have access to files or systems that contain information of other customers. If any Quarterly Audit results in a finding that the Parties agree constitutes CoreLogic’s noncompliance with the material terms of this Agreement, CoreLogic shall take reasonable steps to remedy such finding or provide Customer with a detailed report as to why it cannot be remedied.
13.2. Regulatory Oversight. If Customer is required to
grant audit rights to a regulator having jurisdiction over Customer under applicable law (“Regulator”) to verify CoreLogic’s performance under the Agreement, Customer shall promptly provide written notice to CoreLogic of such request, and any information provided by CoreLogic shall be treated as
CoreLogic’s Confidential Information. CoreLogic shall
reasonably cooperate with such examination.
13.3. Pre-Screening of CoreLogic Personnel.

Notwithstanding any use of the term “partner” in this Agreement or any Services, product or programs made available to Customer, the Parties do not intend to create any legal relationship or partnership between each other, and neither Party will assert to any third party or otherwise claim that such a legal relationship exists between each other.
14.2. Notices. All notices required under this Agreement shall be sent to the addresses on the signature page of this Agreement, and, if the notice relates to a specific SOW, to any additional addresses listed in such SOW, to the attention of the signatories, with a copy to the Legal Department of the Party.

unauthorized assignment or transfer of this Agreement or any rights or obligations thereunder, shall be void and constitutes ground for immediate termination of this Agreement by
CoreLogic. This Agreement binds and inures to the benefit of the Parties and their respective permitted successors and permitted assigns.
14.4. Severability. If any provision, or part thereof, of this Agreement becomes or is declared invalid, illegal or

14.5. No Waiver. Any waiver is only valid to the extent expressly set forth in writing. No waiver by either Party of any right under this Agreement shall constitute a subsequent or continuing waiver of such right or any other rights under this Agreement.
14.6. Injunction. Customer acknowledges that the
Services are a valuable commercial product, the development of which involved the expenditure of substantial time and money.
Any violation of the licenses granted hereunder, confidentiality obligations or infringement or misappropriation of CoreLogic’s intellectual property rights may result in irreparable harm to CoreLogic, for which CoreLogic may not have adequate remedy in money or damages, and CoreLogic may seek injunctive relief, in addition to (and not in lieu of) such further relief as may be MONTCLAIR CITY COUNCIL MEETING – 07/18/2022 Page 79 of 259 SR000443655501 Lic Addend 07 10 2022 jc Page 6 of 8 Confidential 2010-8FSK8J CLv110120-1

14.8. Governing Law. This Agreement is governed by
and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to its principles of conflicts of law. Any litigation arising out of this Agreement shall be brought by either Party in a court of competent jurisdiction located in Orange County, California, and each Party hereby waives any defenses it may have before such courts based on a lack of personal jurisdiction or inconvenient forum.

SECTION: CONSENT - AGREEMENTS
ITEM NO.: 2
FILE I.D.: FRD200/PUB200
DEPT.: PUBLIC WORKS
PREPARER: R. HOERNING
SUBJECT: CONSIDER AWARD OF CONTRACT TO MARIPOSA LANDSCAPES, INC., IN THE AMOUNT OF $47,558 FOR CONSTRUCTION OF THE FIRE STATION NO. 2
LANDSCAPING PROJECT
CONSIDER APPROVAL OF AGREEMENT NO. 22–55 WITH MARIPOSA LANDSCAPES, INC., FOR CONSTRUCTION OF THE FIRE STATION NO. 2 LANDSCAPING PROJECT,
SUBJECT TO ANY REVISIONS DEEMED NECESSARY BY THE CITY ATTORNEY CONSIDER AUTHORIZING AN ADDITIONAL $30,000 APPROPRIATION FROM 2021
LEASE REVENUE BOND FUNDS FOR COSTS RELATED TO THE PROJECT CONSIDER AUTHORIZATION OF A $12,442 CONSTRUCTION CONTINGENCY FOR
THE PROJECT
REASON FOR CONSIDERATION: The City Council is requested to consider awarding a contract, and approving Agreement No. 22–55 with Mariposa Landscapes, Inc. in the amount of $47,558, authorizing an additional $30,000 appropriation, and authorizing a $12,442 contingency for construction of the Fire Station No. 2 Landscaping Project.
A copy of proposed Agreement No. 22–55 is attached for City Council’s review and consideration.
BACKGROUND: On June 6, 2022, the City Council authorized an amendment to the 2019–2024 Capital Improvement Program (CIP), adding the Fire Station No. 2 Landscaping Project. The project was approved with an appropriation of $30,000 of 2021 Lease Revenue Bond Proceeds.
The Fire Station No. 2 Landscaping was altered when the Monte Vista Grade Separation Improvements were constructed. The Monte Vista Grade Separation Improvements were completed around February 2020. During the Monte Vista Grade Separation construction, the City worked with Monte Vista Water District to implement a water system service upgrade to the Public Works Yard. The Public Works Yard is located behind Fire Station No. 2. These improvements included the installation of a four–inch water meter in a large vault and a backflow prevention device in front of the fire station.
These facilities altered the available landscape area and impacted the site. Restoration of the fire station landscaping was to be constructed at a future time by the City.
With the assistance of the Chino Basin Water Conservation District, staff prepared drought–tolerant landscape and irrigation plans for Fire Station No. 2. The landscape will consist of a succulent plant pallet and strategically placed river rock boulder clusters installed within a decomposed granite surface and irrigated through a newly installed subterranean automatic drip system. The site will be cleared of weeds and other vegetation through a sequence of treatments to minimize subsequent weed growth and to prepare the site for the proposed hardscape, planting, and irrigation improvements.
MONTCLAIR CITY COUNCIL MEETING – 07/18/2022 Page 87 of 259 On July 11, 2022, the City received three bid proposals for the Fire Station No. 2 Landscaping Project. The bid results are shown below:
Bidder Bid Amount
Mariposa Landscapes, Inc. $47,558.00
Kormex Construction, Inc. $48,245.00
Southern California Landscape, Inc. $56,030.00
Following the bid opening, the three proposals were reviewed for completeness and accuracy. The bid from the apparent low bidder, Mariposa Landscapes, Inc., provided all the required documents and was deemed the lowest responsible, responsive bidder for the project. Mariposa Landscapes, Inc. has performed landscape construction projects for the cities of Corona and Rancho Santa Margarita and La Mirada Unified School District in a satisfactory manner. They also serve as the City’s landscape maintenance contractor. Mariposa Landscapes, Inc. has the personnel, equipment, and experience necessary to complete the work for this contract in accordance with the project specifications.
The Engineer’s project cost estimate of $20,000 was derived from a larger 2017 municipal landscaping project because the City’s bid results database did not have detailed cost information. Cost of materials and construction have increased since that project was completed. An evaluation of the three (3) competitive bids received indicates the lowest bid is representative of the current cost for this type of project.
The City Council could elect to rebid this project; however, based on the evaluation of bids received, re–bidding is unlikely to yield significantly lower project cost results. Also, additional advertisement costs would be incurred. Therefore, staff is recommending the City Council award the project to Mariposa Landscapes, Inc.
The City Engineer has reviewed the plans and specifications for the project and has determined that they are in conformity with applicable statutes, codes, standards, and/or guidelines. The project work period is 50 working days. The work is expected to begin in August and be completed in October 2022.
FISCAL IMPACT: An additional $30,000 appropriation is being requested to cover the construction–related expenses for a total project authorization of $60,000 using 2021 Lease Revenue Bond Proceeds.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council take the following actions in relation to the Fire Station No. 2 Landscaping Project:
1. Award a contract to Mariposa Landscapes, Inc. in the amount of $47,558 for construction of the Project.
2. Approve Agreement No. 22–55 with Mariposa Landscapes, Inc. for construction of the Project, subject to any revisions deemed necessary by the City Attorney.
3. Authorize a $30,000 appropriation from 2021 Lease Revenue Bond Funds for the costs related to the Project;
4. Authorize a $12,442 construction contingency for the Project.

AGENDA REPORT
DATE: JULY 18, 2022
SECTION: CONSENT - AGREEMENTS
ITEM NO.: 3
FILE I.D.: TRC600
DEPT.: PUBLIC WORKS
PREPARER: S. STANTON
SUBJECT: CONSIDER APPROVAL OF AGREEMENT NO. 22–61 WITH ECONOLITE SYSTEMS FOR
TRAFFIC SIGNAL MAINTENANCE SERVICES, SUBJECT TO ANY REVISIONS DEEMED
NECESSARY BY THE CITY ATTORNEY
REASON FOR CONSIDERATION: The City utilizes Econolite Systems for traffic signal maintenance. The City’s prior agreement with Econolite, Agreement No. 21–38, expired on June 30, 2022. Both the City and Econolite Systems wish to enter into a new contract for a one–year term.
A copy of Proposed Agreement No. 22–61 with Econolite Systems for traffic signal maintenance services is attached for the City Council’s review and consideration.
BACKGROUND: At its meeting on August 2, 2021, City Council approved Agreement No. 21–38 with Econolite Systems. The Public Works Department has been using Econolite’s services for many years and has been very satisfied with their work. The institutional knowledge brought by the Econolite team provides unsurpassed value to the City’s traffic signal system. Additionally, the rapport that has been built between Econolite Systems and the City’s Traffic Engineering Consultant, Albert Grover & Associates, provides good traffic signal performance. A recent audit from the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority (SBCTA) resulted in a 96 percent reliability of Montclair’s signals being in coordination for the efficient and safe movement of traffic.
City staff went through a vetting process to make sure that Econolite is the best value for the City. The rates in the new agreement are essentially staying the same as the prior contract. A rate increase of 2.25% has been proposed to absorb costs related to increases in prevailing wage rates. Accordingly, proposals from other firms were not sought, since Econolite continues to be the best value for the City. Staff recommends to continue utilizing Econolite to provide traffic signal maintenance services, since it is in the best interest and value of the City and within our purchasing guidelines.
FISCAL IMPACT: Under the terms of the proposed contract, the monthly preventative maintenance cost will be $81 per intersection. The rates are shown in Exhibit B of Agreement No. 22–61.
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2022–23 Budget has monies appropriated utilizing the rates established in prior Agreement No. 21–38. Since the amount of the proposed increases will vary based upon need and future scheduled maintenance, any adjustment necessary in the FY 2022–23 budget will be assessed during the Mid–Year Budget Review.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the City Council approve Agreement No. 22–61 with Econolite Systems for traffic signal maintenance services, subject to any revisions deemed necessary by the City Attorney.

SUBJECT: CONSIDER APPROVAL OF AGREEMENT NO. 22–71 WITH CIVIC PUBLICATIONS, INC.,
TO PROVIDE PUBLIC EDUCATION AND COMMUNITY OUTREACH SERVICES, SUBJECT
TO ANY REVISIONS DEEMED NECESSARY BY THE CITY ATTORNEY
REASON FOR CONSIDERATION: The City Council is requested to consider approval of Agreement No. 22–71 with Civic Publications, Inc., to provide public education and community outreach services. The City Council approves agreements for professional services.
A copy of proposed Agreement No. 22–71 with Civic Publications is attached for City Council review and consideration.
BACKGROUND: The City of Montclair periodically provides outreach services to the community through the publication of printed mailers that provide factual content directed at bringing public awareness to civic issues and community events.
In recent years, however, progressive and routine changes in technology have produced a population increasingly sophisticated and diverse in the way it consumes and accesses information. Today, these information sources have grown beyond traditional printed media to encompass and embrace digital formats that include the internet, social media, e–mail, texting, and smartphone application–based programs.
Civic Publications, Inc. (Civic) is a multimedia company located in La Verne that specializes in media, content development, and public outreach for public agencies.
Civic works with public agencies to create, coordinate, and distribute public information to help bring awareness and understanding to complex issues on matters of civic importance. Civic prides itself in its ability to articulate city services, projects, and issues with facts, clarity, and transparency to achieve community awareness.
Civic is owned and operated by Chris Lancaster. Mr. Lancaster founded Civic to extend public affairs services to a wide range of government agencies, with expertise in transit, environmental, and public benefit messaging.
Prior to starting Civic, Mr. Lancaster worked as Director of Government Relations and New Business Development for the Los Angeles Newspaper Group, comprising eight daily newspapers in Los Angeles and San Bernardino Counties with a daily readership of more than 1.6 million.
Mr. Lancaster has more than 15 years of experience managing public affairs content and media for Southern California public agencies, including municipalities, environmental agencies, transit agencies, and public safety agencies. Mr. Lancaster has also held public office, including election to the Covina City Council, and has been a candidate for state office. His years of public service provide a unique approach toward understanding how best to communicate complex issues on matters of civic importance to the public.
MONTCLAIR CITY COUNCIL MEETING – 07/18/2022 Page 99 of 259 Publication Format
Civic has developed public education and awareness campaigns for numerous public agencies including the Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County; Bureau of Sanitation of the City of Los Angeles; the cities of Vernon and Industry, municipal water districts; Los Angeles Metropolitan Transportation Authority; Los Angeles County Department of Public Works; Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, and solid waste disposal companies. Civic has been engaged by the City in prior years to produce public educational and outreach materials.
Under proposed Agreement No. 22–71, public education and outreach may include updating the public on proposed development and public works projects, upcoming attractions and events, important advisory messages, public safety services, progress on transit development, City finances, grant applications, and any other relevant and important general government services information.
In order to fully achieve communications outreach with City residents and the business community, staff recommends utilizing services offered by Civic to include newsletter, e–mail, and digital display ad media formats and City website maintenance for related public outreach pages.
The scope of services included in proposed Agreement No. 22–71 includes the following:
production, printing, and delivery of a 16–page newsletter; distribution of the newsletter by direct mail to every household in the City; provision of English and Spanish language electronic versions of the newsletter; and distribution of electronic versions of the newsletter to businesses and community members.
FISCAL IMPACT: Approval of Agreement No. 22–71 with Civic Publications, Inc., for public education and community outreach would result in a cost to the City of $29,950, which was incorporated in the Fiscal Year 2022–23 Budget for the Administrative Services Department.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the City Council approve Agreement No. 22–71 with Civic Publications, Inc., for public education and community outreach services, subject to any revisions deemed necessary by the City Attorney.

SUBJECT: CONSIDER APPROVAL OF AGREEMENT NO. 22–72 WITH E–HOMES, INC., TO PROVIDE
REAL ESTATE BROKERAGE SERVICES, SUBJECT TO ANY REVISIONS DEEMED
NECESSARY BY THE CITY ATTORNEY
REASON FOR CONSIDERATION: The City Council is requested to consider approval of Agreement No. 22–72 with E–Homes, Inc., to provide real estate brokerage services. A copy of proposed Agreement No. 22–72 is attached for City Council review and consideration.
BACKGROUND: At a special meeting on June 28, 2022, the City Council adopted the Fiscal Year 2022–2023 Budget. As part of the approved recommendations in budget, the Economic Development Agency (EDA), formerly the Economic Development Department, was created and is tasked with expanding the City's level of economic development opportunities.
Included in the Fiscal Year 2022–23 Operating Budget was the allocation of $1.5 million to the Economic Development Assets Fund (EDAF), formerly the Economic Development Fund, to provide and enhance funding within the EDA for real property acquisition.
The newly created EDAF is intended to provide the EDA with the ability to acquire real property in the community to assist with and encourage economic development activity, assemble parcels for redevelopment, and the generate affordable housing in the community.
In order to stay abreast of properties placed on the real estate market and to achieve the newly expanded goals of the EDA, staff is recommending that the City contract will E– Homes, Inc. (E–Homes), a local firm, for real estate brokerage services.
Multiple Listing Service – MLS
Multiple List Service (MLS) is a tool to help listing brokers of a given local real estate association to see each other’s listings of properties for sale. Through this service, listing and selling agents, brokers, and brokerages mutually benefit through the dissemination and sharing of information on available and soon–to–be available properties.
MLS are private databases that are created, maintained and paid for by real estate professionals to help their clients buy and sell property. MLS provides a listing agent representing a seller greater exposure to potential buyers represented by the selling agent and brokerage in a manner accessible through the internet. Having access to a MLS is a powerful force for competition. A MLS levels the playing field so that the smallest brokerage in town can compete with the biggest multi–state firm. Buyers and sellers can work with the professional of their choice, confident that they have access to the largest pool of properties for sale in any given marketplace.
MONTCLAIR CITY COUNCIL MEETING – 07/18/2022 Page 103 of 259 To facilitate access to the MLS system, staff contacted several local real estate brokerage firms to inquire about their services provided. After careful consideration and review of the information provided, staff has elected to use the services of E–Homes based on cost, familiarity with the City of Montclair, and feedback from various other local government agencies who have utilized the services of E–Homes.
Both the Cities of Chino and Ontario have used E–Homes for real estate services including use of the E–Homes MLS portal. Staff reached out to staff members from both cities, who were satisfied with and highly recommended the services of E–Homes.
Scope of Services
The scope of services included in proposed Agreement No. 22–72 includes the following:
Access to the E–Homes portal of multiple listing services for both commercial and residential properties,
Access to a designated real estate agent to run reports of available commercial and residential properties,
Geo–fencing of commercial and residential property listings of certain areas of the city,
Provision of a dedicated real estate agent for support, Provision of current information related to real estate licensing practices and regulations, and
Creation of preliminary title reports and brokerage representation as needed.
FISCAL IMPACT: Approval of Agreement No. 22–72 between the City of Montclair and E–Homes, Inc., for real estate brokerage services would result in an annual cost to the City of $6,000. These costs were incorporated in the Fiscal Year 2022–23 Budget for the Economic Develop Agency.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council approve Agreement No. 22–72 with E–Homes Inc., to provide real estate brokerage services, subject to any revisions deemed necessary by the City Attorney.

SUBJECT: CONSIDER APPROVAL OF AGREEMENT NO. 22–75 WITH CATERING SYSTEMS, INC., TO PROVIDE MEALS FOR THE CITY’S SENIOR CITIZEN NUTRITION PROGRAM,
SUBJECT TO ANY REVISIONS DEEMED NECESSARY BY THE CITY ATTORNEY REASON FOR CONSIDERATION: The City Council is requested to consider approval of Agreement No. 22–75 with Catering Systems, Inc., to provide meals for the City’s Senior Citizen Nutrition Program.
BACKGROUND: On June 6, 2022, the City Council approved Agreement No. 22–57 with the San Bernardino County Department of Aging and Adult Services (DAAS) to provide a three–year Senior Citizen Nutrition Program for participants aged 60 and over at the Montclair Senior Center. The Human Services Department is managing and operating the nutrition program with grant funds awarded by DAAS.
The Human Services Department recommends a subcontract with Catering Systems, Inc., for nutrition program meals. City staff has had difficulty finding other meal providers that serve high quality food that will work within the DAAS requirements. In the past, staff requested recommendations for meal providers from DAAS and, unfortunately, other meal providers are significantly higher in cost and subjectively lower in quality.
In order to maintain the current program standards, the Human Services Department is recommending that the City subcontract with Catering Systems, Inc. for Fiscal Year 2022–23. Should the City Council approve Agreement No. 22–75, Catering Systems, Inc., would continue to deliver prepared meals every weekday until June 30, 2023. The meal cost will be $5.85 per meal, a ten–cent increase from FY 2021–22. All of these costs will be covered by the existing cost reimbursement DAAS grant.
The suggested donation for meals effective July 1, 2021, is $3.00, as required by DAAS.
The funding for the meal cost would be paid through participant donations and funding from Agreement No. 22–57 with the San Bernardino County Department of Aging and Adult Services (DAAS) that was approved by the City Council on June 6, 2022. Note that the DAAS contract has a three–year term and covers the period from July 1, 2022, through June 30, 2025.
FISCAL IMPACT: There will be no cost to the General Fund as a result of the City Council’s approval of Agreement No. 22–75 with Catering Systems, Inc. All of these costs will be one hundred percent grant funded under Agreement No. 22–57 with DAAS.
The term of proposed Agreement No. 22–75 is July 1, 2022, through June 30, 2023.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends City Council approve Agreement No. 22–75 with Catering Systems, Inc., to provide meals for the City’s Senior Citizen Nutrition Program, subject to any revisions deemed necessary by the City Attorney.

Computerized Nutrient Analysis Requirements:
Although not required, use of computerized nutrient analysis is strongly recommended and will help ensure and verify the nutritional adequacy of meals. The goal of assessing nutrient intakes of groups is to determine the prevalence of inadequate or excessive nutrient intakes within a particular group of individuals.
While meal patterns serve as a basic framework for menu planning, providers are encouraged to use computerized nutrient analysis because it provides specific information on nutrients the menu may not be providing. The information that a menu is not supplying all of the desired nutrients will guide the development of future menus.
As required menu elements are expanded, it is more difficult to meet all of the requirements on a daily basis. Nutrition programs for the elderly should focus on:
Vitamin A
Vitamin C
Protein
Fat
Sodium
Fiber
Not all nutrient guidelines will be met with each meal. However, areas that do not meet the requirements should be the focus of future menu revisions and nutrition education.
The following nutrients should be included in the analysis when the computerized nutrient analysis method is used: calories; protein; carbohydrates; total fat; saturated fat; total fiber; Vitamins A, C, D, E, K, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, B6, folate, B12; calcium, chromium, copper, iron, magnesium, sodium, and zinc. In addition to meeting one third of the Dietary Reference Intakes, the menus should also follow the Dietary Guidelines for Americans.
MONTCLAIR CITY COUNCIL MEETING – 07/18/2022 Page 134 of 259 21 (b) Menu cycle shall be analyzed on a regular basis and documentation maintained for County review.
G. Supplies Specification Procedures
The Subcontractor shall provide disposable table service based upon the supplies specification included. These supplies shall be ordered and delivered weekly at each site. A minimum of one week’s supply on hand at all times. The Contractor shall supply order forms and monitor supply usage.
The Subcontractor shall furnish, as part of supplies, the cleaning and other miscellaneous supplies (see Supplies Specification Sheet). These supplies will be ordered as needed. The Contractor shall supply order forms and monitor supply usage. (This is subject to negotiation.)
EVALUATION OF SUBCONTRACTOR
The Contractor and centralized dietary services dietitian shall evaluate the Subcontractor's performance to determine if the Agreement is in compliance in meeting requirements. All evaluations must be sent to the County nutritionist.
RECEIPTS AND INVOICES PROCEDURES
A. The Subcontractor shall issue daily delivery receipts to each site.
B. After the close of each week, the Subcontractor will furnish to the program an invoice of meals ordered by the program, the previous week. The Contractor will pay such invoices for the prior week within 30 days after receipt of same invoice or as agreed between the Contractor and Subcontractor.
DEDUCTION PROCEDURE

BACKGROUND: Healthy Montclair is part of a countywide effort to improve the health and well–being of all residents of San Bernardino County by creating healthy environments and promoting healthy life choices. The purpose of the Healthy Montclair Initiative is to achieve an excellence in quality of life for those who live, work, learn, play, eat, and shop in Montclair. Healthy Montclair defines health as a state of complete physical, mental, and social flourishing and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.
As part of the Healthy Montclair Initiative, the Human Services Department applies for and receives grant funding for various programs from private foundations, San Bernardino County, and the State of California — some of which include Federal Funding.
For the past nine years, Misha L. Penn has supported the Human Services Department in its grant management and fiscal compliance. Ms. Penn has a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and a combined thirty–three years of experience in contract management, grant compliance, program finance, and project implementation covering public, private, and non–profit sectors. Under this proposed contract services agreement, Ms. Penn will continue to support the Human Services Department as an independent contractor.
FISCAL IMPACT: This contractual obligation of $30,000 will be funded using the existing Human Services Department grant funds allocated and approved within the Fiscal Year 2022–23 Budget. Should the City Council approve Agreement No. 22–77, there will be no adverse impact to the City’s General Fund. The term of proposed Agreement No. 22–77 is July 1, 2022, through June 30, 2023.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the City Council approve Agreement No. 22–77 with Misha L. Penn to provide grant management and fiscal compliance services for the Human Services Department, subject to any revisions deemed necessary by the City Attorney.

SUBJECT: CONSIDER APPROVAL OF AGREEMENT NO. 22–78 WITH ONTARIO–MONTCLAIR
SCHOOL DISTRICT TO PROVIDE A LICENSED CLINICAL SOCIAL WORKER FOR THE MONTCLAIR COMMUNITY COLLABORATIVE’S CASE MANAGEMENT PROGRAM,
SUBJECT TO ANY REVISIONS DEEMED NECESSARY BY THE CITY ATTORNEY REASON FOR CONSIDERATION: The City Council is requested to consider approval of Agreement No. 22–78 with Ontario–Montclair School District (OMSD) to continue the services of a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) for the Montclair Community Collaborative’s Case Management Program.
BACKGROUND: In December 1999, the City Council approved Agreement No. 99–108 with OMSD to provide LCSW services for the Montclair Community Collaborative’s Case Management Program. This original contract was designed as a partnership between the City of Montclair and OMSD whereby each agency contributes a portion of the salary and benefits for the LCSW position.
The LCSW position works with other service delivery providers to intervene and assist at– risk children and adults in the Montclair community. Through the case management system and coordination of services with other professionals including Police and Code Enforcement Officers, Child or Adult Protective Services, community–based organizations, and mental health professionals, there is a higher level of effectiveness and less duplication of services.
FISCAL IMPACT: Should the City Council approve Agreement No. 22–78, the City’s contractual obligation for the LCSW position will be $4,178 per month. The funding for proposed Agreement No. 22–78 was allocated and approved within the Fiscal Year 2022–23 Budget for the Human Services Department. The term of proposed Agreement No. 22–78 is July 1, 2022, through June 30, 2023.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the City Council approve Agreement No. 22–78 with OMSD to provide a LCSW for the Montclair Community Collaborative’s Case Management Program, subject to any revisions deemed necessary by the City Attorney.

PREPARER: M. HEREDIA
SUBJECT: CONSIDER APPROVAL OF AGREEMENT NO. 22–79 WITH SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY, AMENDMENT NO. 4 TO AGREEMENT NO. 15–64 (SBCTA COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT NO. 15–1001297) FOR THE MONTE VISTA
AVENUE/UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD GRADE SEPARATION PROJECT, SUBJECT TO ANY
REVISIONS DEEMED NECESSARY BY THE CITY ATTORNEY
REASON FOR CONSIDERATION: On August 4, 2015, the City Council approved Agreement No. 15–64 with San Bernardino County Transportation Authority (SBCTA) for the Monte Vista Avenue/Union Pacific Railroad Grade Separation Project (Project). SBCTA wishes to amend the agreement to extend the expiration date to close out the Project.
Contract amendments require City Council Approval.
A copy of proposed Agreement No. 22–79 with SBCTA is attached for the City Council’s review and consideration.
BACKGROUND: The City had previously entered into a Cooperative Agreement with SBCTA (Agreement No. 15–64) dated August 4, 2015, which delineates the roles, responsibilities, and funding commitments of the City and SBCTA relative to the construction activities for the Project.
The City amended Agreement No. 15–64 with Agreement No. 16–41 on July 6, 2016 to revise the development share percentage used in the original agreement. The amendment also revised the public share to 91.5 percent and development share to
8.5 percent, consistent with the Nexus Study.
The agreement was further amended a second time on December 5, 2019 by Agreement No. 19–91 to reflect the latest cost estimates.
On August 25, 2020, a third amendment was approved extending the contract to August 31, 2022, to resolve pending invoices, claims, and final reporting.
SBCTA is now requesting to extend the contract for an additional two years with a fourth amendment to allow for final claims resolution and pending closeout activities for the Project. The additional time is needed to resolve a pending claim with Pulice Construction, Inc. and close out the Project.
FISCAL IMPACT: The time extension provided for in Agreement No. 22–79 would not impact costs for the project or place any additional burdens on the City’s General Fund.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the City Council approve Agreement No. 22–79 with SBCTA, Amendment No. 4 to Agreement No. 15–64 (SBCTA Cooperative Agreement No. 15–1001297) for the Monte Vista Avenue/Union Pacific Railroad Grade Separation Project, subject to any revisions deemed necessary by the City Attorney.

ITEM NO.: 12

PREPARER: M. FUENTES
SUBJECT: CONSIDER APPROVAL OF AGREEMENT NO. 22–80 WITH REVENUE & COST SPECIALISTS, LLC TO CONDUCT A COMPREHENSIVE COST–OF–SERVICE STUDY
RELATED TO FEES CHARGED BY THE CITY OF MONTCLAIR, SUBJECT TO ANY
REVISIONS DEEMED NECESSARY BY THE CITY ATTORNEY
REASON FOR CONSIDERATION: The City’s Master User Fee Schedule last underwent a major update in 2013 after a comprehensive cost–of–service study performed by Wolhford Consulting. Some fees have been updated since then; however, the City may no longer be recovering the full costs of providing services listed in the schedule. As such, staff is recommending entering into a professional services agreement with a firm that specializes in cost–of–service and cost allocation studies in order to conduct a comprehensive review of current user fees charged by the City.
Agreement No. 22–80 would authorize staff to retain the services of Revenue & Cost Specialists, LLC (RCS) to conduct a comprehensive cost–of–service study and provide recommendations related to user fees charged by the City.
A copy of proposed Agreement No. 22–80 with RCS is attached for the City Council’s review and consideration.
BACKGROUND: In 2003, the City Council directed staff to develop a uniform policy for establishing and recovering user fees and further directed that, to the extent possible, such fees be consolidated into a single resolution subject to annual review.
In 2006, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 06–2670 amending and adopting the Master User Fee Schedule as well as a User Fee Cost Recovery Policy. In 2007, pursuant to Resolution No. 06–2670, the City entered into an agreement with Wohlford Consulting to conduct a cost–of–service study. In 2013, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 13– 2994 amending and adopting the Master User Fee Schedule based on the cost–of–service study conducted by Wohlford Consulting. Further amendments to the Master User Fee Schedule were adopted in 2014 (Resolution 14–3022), 2016 (Resolution Nos. 16–3107 and 16–3112), 2017 (Resolution No. 17–3160), and 2018 (Resolution No. 18–3201).
User Fee Cost Recovery Policy
The User Fee Cost Recovery Policy adopted by the City Council establishes procedures to produce uniformity in developing City user fees and for consolidation of all City user fees into one Master User Fee Schedule for update and presentation to the City Council for approval on an annual basis.
It is the policy of the City to establish that fees be maintained to ensure associated costs for the delivery of specified services are appropriately charged to consumers to limit the cost burden on the City’s General Fund. Further, cost–recovery levels for any user fee established by resolution of the City Council shall not exceed 100 percent of the actual cost for the service in question.
MONTCLAIR CITY COUNCIL MEETING – 07/18/2022 Page 174 of 259 User fees represent a significant and growing portion of local government revenues as traditional revenue sources have decreased. As competition for tax resource allocation increases and interest in privatization of public services grows, fees and charges will continue to assume a larger role in the diversification of municipal revenue sources.
User fees are considered "special benefits" which are defined as payments made by consumers in direct exchange for government services rendered. User fees are payments for publicly provided services that benefit a specific individual or group of individuals and exhibit "public good" characteristics. Further, user fees are fees that are charged for appropriate services that are of special benefit.
Wohlford Consulting: 2007 Cost–of–Service Study
In 2007, the City Council engaged Wohlford Consulting to conduct a long–term objective analysis of incurred costs in support of various user fee–related activities. Wohlford Consulting had extensive experience in conducting detailed cost–of–service studies of user fee activities.
The consultant’s focus was to determine the full cost of providing specific services to the public, identify current fee levels, and determine the cost–impact of subsidies provided by the City for various services. Wohlford Consulting was also tasked with providing recommendations for appropriate fee ranges and development of a revised Master User Fee Schedule.
Wohlford Consulting used a unit cost buildup methodology to identify the full cost for individual fee activities in its Cost of User Fee Study.
Updated Cost–of–Service Study – Request for Quotes
City staff provided a Request for Quotes (RFQ) to several firms that specialize in cost– of–service and cost allocation studies. The City received quotes from the following firms:
MGT of America Consulting, LLC (MGT), Matrix Consulting Group, and RCS.
The firms contacted provide a wide array of services and emphasize slightly different modes of user fee analysis, costing principles, indirect cost rate development, and statistical analysis. As such, a direct comparison of the scope of services provided is slightly nuanced; however, all three firms provide legally defensible cost–of–service studies.
Cost–of–Service Study Costs
The following are the estimated quotes from each of the above–mentioned firms to conduct a comprehensive cost–of–service study related to fees charged by the City and to provide recommendations to the City Council related to user–fees charged by the City.
Name of Firm Quote
MGT of America Consulting, LLC $ 55,680
Matrix Consulting Group $ 50,000
Revenue & Cost Specialists, LLC $ 42,900

As indicated in the above summaries, each firm provides a wide array of services and emphasis slightly different modes of user fee analysis, costing principles, indirect cost rate development, and statistical analysis; however, all three firms provide legally defensible cost–of–service studies.
Staff Recommendation of RCS to Perform Cost–of–Service Study After careful evaluation and consideration of each proposal, City staff is recommending utilizing the services of RCS as the most professional, responsive option. RCS’s qualifications, scope of services provided, estimated price point, and history set the firm apart from the other respondents.
In addition, RCS has worked with a number of cities and local agencies on a variety of cost–of–service studies, user fee studies, cost allocation plans, development impact fee studies, and municipal financing management. Some of RCS’ local clients include the cities of Chino, Claremont, Fontana, Ontario, Pomona, Rialto, and Upland.
Staff is recommending a contingency of $10,000 for any additional that may arise out of the scope of services to be provided.
FISCAL IMPACT: Proposed Agreement No. 22–80 would authorize staff to retain the services of RCS to conduct a comprehensive cost–of–service study related to fees charged by the City and to provide recommendations to the City Council for changes to the Master User Fee Schedule. The cost of services related to proposed Agreement No. 22–80 is estimated not to exceed $52,900, inclusive of a $10,000 contingency, payable from the Economic Development Fund.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the City Council approve Agreement No. 22– 80 with Revenue & Cost Specialists, LLC to conduct a comprehensive cost–of–service study related to fees charged by the City of Montclair, subject to any revisions deemed necessary by the City Attorney.
