PREPARER: J. KULBECK
SUBJECT: CONSIDER RECEIVING AND FILING ANNUAL REPORTS FROM INDEPENDENT
AUDITING FIRM FOR THE CITY OF MONTCLAIR AND THE SUCCESSOR
AGENCY FOR THE CITY OF MONTCLAIR REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY
REASON FOR CONSIDERATION: Though not required by law, in order to provide more transparency and documentation, the City Council is asked to receive and file the annual reports prepared by the City’s independent auditing firm and a compliance audit required by Measure I.
BACKGROUND: The City of Montclair has engaged the auditing firm of Van Lant & Fankhanel, LLP, Certified Public Accountants (City Auditors) to perform independent audit of its financial transaction and to conduct other reviews required by law. Attached for City Council’s information are copies of the reports issued by this firm which are discussed in detail below.
The results of these engagements and the reports associated with them are as follows:
Financial audit of the City of Montclair for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 which contains financial statements covering City operations The financial statements presented in this report received an unqualified opinion from the auditing firm. Audit Communication Regarding Conduct of Audit – This letter provides information on the conduct of the audit. The auditor’s indicated:
All significant transactions have been recognized in the financial statements in the proper period.
They encountered no significant difficulties in dealing with management in performing and completing their audit.
Any misstatements noted were corrected by management. No disagreements with management arose during the course of the audit. Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting and on Compliance and Other Matters. This report covers deficiencies and weaknesses in internal control that could cause material misstatements. No deficiencies were noted by the auditors. Report on Agreed–Upon Procedures Applied to Appropriation Limit Worksheets.
This is a set of procedures performed on the City’s Gann Appropriation Limit as required by State Law. No findings were noted in the performance of these procedures.
MONTCLAIR CITY COUNCIL MEETING – 05/01/2023 Page 13 of 204 Successor Agency – Bonding Requirement Financial Disclosure Financial Statements– This is a special purpose audit covering only those operations of the Successor Agency (prior redevelopment agency) that affect bond issues. Prior to the elimination of redevelopment there was a separate financial audit performed and that was required as part of our continuing disclosure requirement for those bond issues. That audit was eliminated in the dissolution process and we now prepare this special report to comply with those disclosure requirements. This report gives the bond community specific information on the transactions associated with those bonds. To the best of staff’s knowledge, we are the only successor agency that prepares this type of disclosure. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, all of the continuing disclosure reporting requirements were completed, within the prescribed time limits.
Single Audit Report on Federal Awards Programs – This is an organization–wide financial statement and federal awards’ audit of a non–federal entity that expends $750,000 or more in federal funds in one year. The Single Audit Report provides assurance to the Federal Government that a non–federal entity has adequate internal controls in place, and is generally in compliance with program requirements.
The financial audits of the City, the special audit of the Successor Agency, and the Single Audit were completed in March 2022. No management comments have been made by the City Auditors to the City indicating any policies and/or procedures that they would like to see improved.
Additionally, as required by Measure I, independent auditors are engaged by the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority to annually perform a financial and compliance audit of the City of Montclair’s Measure I fund. This audit is to include a computation of Maintenance of Effort. For Fiscal Year 2021–2022 this audit was performed by Eide Bailly LLP, Certified Public Accountants and their report is attached.
The Measure I Fund received an unqualified financial statement opinion and no noncompliance was noted. The Maintenance of Effort computation, which compares general city street and highway expenditures against an annual base requirement, indicated that the City of Montclair has exceeded its cumulative Maintenance of Effort requirement by $19,130,592.
FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact in receiving and filing the reports provided by the City and Measure I Auditors.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council receive and file annual reports from independent auditing firm for the City of Montclair and the Successor Agency for the City of Montclair Redevelopment Agency.

AGENDA REPORT
DATE: MAY 1, 2023
SECTION: CONSENT - ADMIN. REPORTS
ITEM NO.: 10
FILE I.D.: STA818
DEPT.: PUBLIC WORKS
PREPARER: S. STANTON
SUBJECT: CONSIDER AUTHORIZING A $471,710.04 APPROPRIATION FROM LEASE REVENUE BOND PROCEEDS FOR EXCESS COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE ZONE 5–6 STREET
REHABILITATION PROJECT
CONSIDER APPROVAL OF THE FILING OF A NOTICE OF COMPLETION WITH THE SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY RECORDER FOR THE ZONE 5–6 STREET REHABILITATION PROJECT CONSTRUCTED BY GENTRY BROTHERS, INC.
CONSIDER AUTHORIZING RELEASE OF RETENTION 30 DAYS AFTER RECORDATION
OF THE NOTICE OF COMPLETION
REASON FOR CONSIDERATION: State law requires a Notice of Completion to be recorded with the County Recorder upon completing and accepting 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 Zone 5–6 Street Rehabilitation Project.
BACKGROUND: On February 7, 2022, the Montclair City Council awarded a construction contract for the Zone 5–6 Street Rehabilitation Project to Gentry Brothers, Inc., and entered into Agreement No. 22–09.
The Zone 5–6 Street Rehabilitation Project resurfaced City streets and repaired or replaced damaged curbs, gutters, sidewalks, and non–compliant pedestrian ramps. The project limits were from Brooks Street on the north, Benson Avenue on the east, Phillips Street on the south, and Kadota Avenue on the west. The project also included a portion of Zone 2, located between Palo Verde Street on the north, Central Avenue on the east, San Bernardino Street on the south, and Fremont Avenue on the west.
While Gentry Brothers, Inc., was already performing work within the City, staff opted to have this contractor complete several roadway improvements that the Public Works Department staff has been unable to perform. The additional items of work resulted in the following six change orders:
1) Complete removal and replacement of asphalt pavement on State Street from the Los Angeles County line to Kadota Avenue.
Over the past two years, the City has received several complaints about the road conditions, and maintenance crews have filled potholes monthly. This extra work required a full road closure of State Street for multiple days and extensive traffic control.
2) Traffic striping and signage on Orchard Street near the Monte Vista Elementary School.
City staff met with School personnel and discussed a solution to create safer pedestrian conditions. The additional work included the removal of the existing MONTCLAIR CITY COUNCIL MEETING – 05/01/2023 Page 15 of 204 traffic striping, placement of new traffic striping, traffic signal modifications, and other signage along Orchard Street.
3) Emergency repairs to a sinkhole located at 5436 Holt Boulevard The repairs included removing the existing asphalt pavement, repairing a sewer utility maintenance hole, backfilling, compaction, and replacing new asphalt pavement.
4) Removal and replacement of a storm drain catch basin located in the 4400 block of Brooks Street.
The existing catch basin appeared to be damaged by an oversized vehicle. 5) Grind, overlay and construct asphalt curb on northbound Monte Vista Avenue from Phillips Street to Grand Street.
The pavement on Monte Vista Avenue had become a weekly maintenance issue due to the aging asphalt and the amount of rain we received this winter. The asphalt was ground and repaved and a new asphalt curb was constructed along the eastern edge of the street in order to prevent erosion at the driveway entrance of two residential properties.
6) Grade and construct an asphalt driveway and concrete flow lines at MacArthur Park.
MacArthur Park has historically been subject to standing water created by runoff surrounding the I–10 Freeway. The saturated soil created problems for maintenance vehicles entering the park to perform maintenance of the cell tower site. The new driveway creates a solid entrance for vehicles and addresses the standing water by constructing concrete flow lines that can handle excessive water.
In addition to the items listed above, one additional change order was issued to cover the cost of inflation associated with increased asphalt and fuel prices. The contract unit price was negotiated before the commencement of work.
FISCAL IMPACT: The Zone 5–6 Street Rehabilitation Project is completely funded with 2021 Lease Revenue Bonds. The total construction cost for the Zone 5–6 Street Rehabilitation Project was $4,470,313.27. The total award amount was $3,598,603.23, with a construction contingency of $400,000, totaling $3,998,603.23. With the added items above, including amended concrete quantities, the project has an overun of $471,710.04. Staff recommends using 2021 Lease Revenue Bonds to cover the additional change orders.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council take the following actions related to the Zone 5–6 Street Rehabilitation Project:
1. Authorize a $471,710.04 appropriation from Lease Revenue Bond Proceeds for excess costs associated with the Zone 5–6 Street Rehabilitation Project;
2. Approve the filing of a Notice of Completion with the San Bernardino County Recorder for the Zone 5–6 Street Rehabilitation Project constructed by Gentry Brothers, Inc.; and
3. Authorize release of retention 30 days after recordation of the Notice of Completion.

The submittal date was August 25, 2021, to replace the aging Peacekeeper.
After approval and implementation of the Department's Military Equipment Policy on March 21, 2022, the Department continued the process of seeking authorization to
MONTCLAIR CITY COUNCIL MEETING – 05/01/2023 Page 23 of 204 contract with a reputable manufacturer for the purchase of a tactical armored vehicle; including funding for the installation of police radio, equipment, and graphics.

AGENDA REPORT
DATE: MAY 1, 2023
SECTION: CONSENT - AGREEMENTS
ITEM NO.: 3
FILE I.D.: HSV030
DEPT.: HUMAN SVCS.
PREPARER: A. COLUNGA
SUBJECT: CONSIDER APPROVAL OF AGREEMENT NOS. 23–24 AND 23–25 WITH ONTARIO– MONTCLAIR SCHOOL DISTRICT TO SUPPORT THE MONTCLAIR AFTER–SCHOOL PROGRAM AT VARIOUS SITES FOR THE 2023–2024 SCHOOL YEAR
REASON FOR CONSIDERATION: The City Council is requested to consider approval of Agreement Nos. 23–24 and 23–25 with Ontario–Montclair School District (OMSD) to support the Montclair After–school Program at various sites for the 2023–2024 school year.
BACKGROUND: The Human Services Department has delivered after–school programs within OMSD schools since 1999. Funding for these programs originates from the California Department of Education through grants made available to local education authorities, such as OMSD. The purpose of the funding is to provide communities with enhanced community–based after–school services in an effort to strengthen healthy child development.
In Spring 2023, Ontario–Montclair School District began using a competitive bidding process for provision of their after–school programs. Applicants were invited to bid on pre–determined clusters of schools based on their middle school territories. The City of Montclair submitted a proposal and was awarded contracts to provide programming during the 2023–2024 school year at two clusters:
Cluster 3:
o Serrano Middle School
o Lehigh Elementary School
o Monte Vista Elementary School
o Moreno Elementary School
o Ramona Elementary School
Cluster 4:
o Vernon Middle School
o Buena Vista Elementary School
o El Camino Elementary School
o Elderberry Elementary School
o Kingsley Elementary School
o Montera Elementary School
As of July 1, 2023, the City of Montclair will no longer provide an After–school Program at Howard or Mission Elementary schools. The Montclair After–school Program will now be provided at two new schools, Buena Vista and Elderberry Elementary Schools, and the program will return to Montera Elementary School.
MONTCLAIR CITY COUNCIL MEETING – 05/01/2023 Page 74 of 204 FISCAL IMPACT: Should the City Council approve proposed Agreement Nos. 23–24 and 23–25, OMSD would provide funding at $13.00 per Transitional Kinder/Kindergarten student per day and $11.50 per first to eighth grade student per day to fund personnel, training, supplies, and grant oversight. The term length of proposed Agreement Nos. 23–24 and 23–25 is July 1, 2023, through June 30, 2024.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the City Council approve Agreement Nos. 23–24 and 23–25 with Ontario–Montclair School District to support the Montclair After– School Program at various sites for the 2023–2024 school year.

CONSIDER APPROVAL OF AGREEMENT NO. 23–26 WITH SPECTRATURF, INC. FOR
THE ALMA HOFMAN PARK PLAYGROUND SURFACE REPLACEMENT PROJECT, SUBJECT
TO ANY REVISIONS DEEMED NECESSARY BY THE CITY ATTORNEY
CONSIDER AUTHORIZING A $180,599.50 APPROPRIATION FROM 2021 LEASE REVENUE BOND PROCEEDS TO COVER COSTS RELATED TO AGREEMENT NO. 23–26 REASON FOR CONSIDERATION: The City Council is requested to consider awarding a contract and approval of Agreement No. 23–26 with SpectraTurf, Inc. in the amount of $180,599.50 for the Alma Hofman Park Playground Surface Replacement Project.
A copy of proposed Agreement No. 23–26 is attached for the City Council’s review and consideration.
BACKGROUND: On October 18, 2021, and November 10, 2021, the City Council held workshops to discuss the 2021 Lease Revenue Bonds (LRB) Infrastructure projects. The workshops outlined several park improvement projects and other infrastructure projects, including at Alma Hofman Park.
On March 23, 2023, staff posted a Request for Proposals (RFP) on Planet Bids for playground surface replacement at Alma Hofman Park. On April 19, 2023, two bid proposals were received with total costs as follows:
Bidder Bid Amount
Great Western Installation, Inc. $179,068.50
SpectraTurf, Inc. $180,599.50
Following the bid opening, the bids were reviewed for completeness and accuracy. The bid proposal from the apparent lowest bidder, Great Western Installation, Inc. did not contain the required documentation as listed in the Request for Proposals. Therefore, staff recommends that their bid be rejected. The bid proposal from the apparent second lowest bidder, SpectraTurf, Inc., provided all required documents and was deemed the lowest responsible, responsive bidder for the project. The City Engineer has reviewed their bid proposal and has determined it meets the qualifications required in the RFP.
The anticipated duration of this project is 15 working days. Unfortunately, the contractor is not able to begin work until July 2023 due to the rain events in the last few months creating a heavy backlog.
MONTCLAIR CITY COUNCIL MEETING – 05/01/2023 Page 108 of 204 FISCAL IMPACT: The cost to replace the playground surface is $180,599.50, which can be covered using 2021 Lease Revenue Bond Proceeds.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council take the following actions in relation to the Alma Hofman Park Playground Surface Replacement Project:
1. Reject the bid received from Great Western Installation, Inc. for the Project;
2. Award a contract to SpectraTurf, Inc. in the amount of $180,599.50 for the Project;
3. Approve Agreement No. 23–26 with SpectraTurf, Inc. for the Project subject to any revisions deemed necessary by the City Attorney; and
4. Authorize a $180,599.50 appropriation from the 2021 Lease Revenue Bond Proceeds to cover costs for the Project.

PREPARER: R. AVELS
SUBJECT: CONSIDER AUTHORIZING A $41,397.45 APPROPRIATION FROM THE CONTINGENCY
FUND TO PARTICIPATE IN A PUBLIC/PRIVATE EMERGENCY AMBULANCE AND
INTERFACILITY TRANSPORT SERVICE BIDDING FOR THE COUNTY CONTRACT CONSIDER APPROVAL OF AGREEMENT NO. 23–28, A MEMORANDUM OF
UNDERSTANDING WITH CONFIRE AGREEING TO BECOME A CONTRACTING AGENCY
IN THE EMS DIVISION
CONSIDER AUTHORIZING CITY MANAGER EDWARD C. STARR TO SIGN AGREEMENT NO. 23–28 AND A DECLARATION OF INTENT TO PARTICIPATE IN THE CONFIRE EMS
DIVISION CONTRACT
REASON FOR CONSIDERATION: The City Council is requested to consider authorizing a $41,397.45 appropriation from the Contingency Fund to participate in a public/private emergency ambulance and interfacility transport service, bidding for the County contract, and to consider approval of Agreement No. 23–28, a Memorandum of Understanding with Consolidated Fire Agencies (CONFIRE) agreeing to become a contracting agency in the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Division. The City Council is also requested to consider authorizing City Manager Starr to sign Agreement No. 23– 28 and a Declaration of Intent to participate in the CONFIRE EMS Division contract.
A copy of proposed Agreement No. 23–28 and the Declaration of Intent are attached for the City Council’s review and consideration.
BACKGROUND: For approximately four years, ambulance services throughout San Bernardino County have not continuously met the required response times as outlined in the American Medical Response (AMR) contract. AMR is currently the only contracted ambulance transport service provider within the County of San Bernardino; however, San Bernardino County Fire and the City of Rialto provide some level of ambulance transport within their respective areas. The County is responsible for ensuring the delivery of emergency medical services to residents and visitors of San Bernardino County. The Inland Counties Emergency Medical Agency (ICEMA) serves as the County agent for coordinating and regulating a strategically organized comprehensive system of care that fulfills this obligation.
To ensure equitable services throughout the region, ambulance Exclusive Operating Areas (EOAs) have been established. The following table shows the EOA breakdown for the County’s comprehensive service areas:
EOA General Area
1 Rancho Cucamonga, Upland, Mt. Baldy
2 Chino, Montclair
3 Chino Hills, Ontario
4 Fontana, Bloomington, Lytle Creek
5b Unincorporated pockets in Rialto
MONTCLAIR CITY COUNCIL MEETING – 05/01/2023 Page 115 of 204 EOA General Area
6 Colton, San Bernardino, Muscoy, Devore
7 Grand Terrace, Parts of Redlands, Highland, Parts of Colton 8 Redlands, Highland, Mentone, Yucaipa, Oak Glen
9 Loma Linda
11 Waterman Canyon, San Bernardino National Forest Front Country 12a Victorville, Adelanto, Apple Valley
The above table shows that Montclair shares EOA #2 with the City of Chino. AMR is the only ambulance transport for this area and is contractually required to arrive on–scene within nine minutes, fifty–nine seconds (9:59). In many instances, ambulance arrivals have exceeded 20 minutes, which in turn prolongs patient care on–scene and can lead to a detrimental patient outcome. In addition to a delay in response times, many of the ambulances responding to calls throughout Montclair have been Basic Life Support (BLS) ambulances instead of Advanced Life Support (ALS) ambulances. Instances where a BLS ambulance responds in lieu of an ALS ambulance, a Montclair Medic Engine paramedic must then ride into the hospital with the patient to ensure proper care is provided, should it be needed. As a result, this keeps the Medic Engine unable to respond to any other calls during the time it takes to deliver the patient to the hospital and accept them for treatment in the emergency department. The growing delay in response times, as well as the lack of appropriate ambulances available, can affect the patient’s outcome.
Moreover, it consumes valuable time in which Fire personnel could be responding to another call or incident, thus adversely affecting the citizens of Montclair.
Executive leaders from the various fire organizations within the EOAs have had many discussions about the ongoing performance concerns with AMR and the methods that could be implemented to mitigate or improve the ambulance service. One outcome of these discussions resulted in a few fire organizations acquiring ambulances to staff with their own personnel in situations where AMR ambulances are not available.
In October of 2021, the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors (BOS) initiated a competitive process to award a contract to provide emergency ambulance and inter– facility transport services within the EOAs in San Bernardino County. The BOS also approved a contract extension to AMR ending March 31, 2024.
On January 11, 2022, the BOS approved a contract with EndPoint Consulting LLC to develop a request for proposals (RFP) to award a contract for the provision of emergency ambulance and interfacility transport services within the County’s existing EOAs.
In having a comprehensive knowledge of the ambulance transport and response issues that have impacted the communities within the respective EOAs, executive leaders of the various fire organizations determined the respective communities could be better served by the development of an ambulance response service managed by an EMS Division of CONFIRE, coupled with the partnership of a private ambulance transport company. The EMS Division within CONFIRE would be comprised of all CONFIRE Member Agencies and Contract Agencies.
In anticipation of the issuance of the RFP, CONFIRE created the EMS Division. The West End Joint Powers Authority (JPA) contracted with a consulting firm to put together a proposal when the RFP was released. All participating agencies will be sharing in the cost of the consulting firm, attorney fees, and other related costs, which is estimated to be $455,372. In the event the initial estimated cost is determined to be greater, the initial participation cost will be increased accordingly. Currently, Montclair’s share of MONTCLAIR CITY COUNCIL MEETING – 05/01/2023 Page 116 of 204 the cost would be $41,397.45. These costs incurred by the participating agencies would precede the submission of a proposal to the County, bidding for the County ambulance service contract via the CONFIRE EMS Division. The initial membership cost would not be repaid regardless if the EMS Division is awarded the contract or not.
All participating agencies would have a position and one alternate position on the EMS Division Committee. This venture would be a public/private partnership that would give cities as well as fire departments greater control of how ambulance services are provided to the communities of their respective cities. This would be a benefit to the City of Montclair, giving the City the authority of ambulance delivery. City representatives having input ensures the City of Montclair will receive the correct type of ambulance on– scene provided in the agreed–upon time frame.
If the CONFIRE EMS Division is awarded the County ambulance service contract, the EMS Division will begin working towards the implementation of the contract, which will take effect no later than April 1, 2024.
FISCAL IMPACT: If authorized by the City Council, funding to participate in a public/private emergency ambulance and interfacility transport service bidding for the County contract would result in an appropriation of $41,397.45 from the Contingency Fund. This is the baseline entry–level fee for the 11 contracting agencies. In the event that the estimated initial cost is higher than estimated above, the cost would be increased as determined by a formal review by the EMS Committee.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the City Council take the following actions:
1. Authorize a $41,397.45 appropriation from the Contingency Fund to participate in a public/private emergency ambulance and interfacility transport service bidding for the County contract.
2. Approve Agreement No. 23–28, a Memorandum of Understanding with CONFIRE agreeing to become a contracting agency in the EMS Division.
3. Authorize City Manager Starr to sign Agreement No. 23–28 and a Declaration of Intent to participate in the CONFIRE EMS Division contract.

CONSIDER AUTHORIZING A $75,000 APPROPRIATION FROM THE HOUSING TRUST
FUND FOR REHABILITATION OF CERTAIN REAL PROPERTY
REASON FOR CONSIDERATION: Proposed Agreement No. 23–27 is an Affordable Housing Agreement between the City of Montclair (City), the Montclair Housing Authority (MHA), and the Montclair Housing Corporation (MHC) for the conveyance of real properties located at 9814, 9875, and 9878 Monte Vista Avenue and the subsequent leasing and operations of said properties as affordable housing units.
Proposed City Council Resolution No. 23–3403 would approve entering into Agreement No. 23–27, and would authorize the transfer of Properties from the City to the MHA.
Proposed MHC Resolution No. 23–01 would approve entering into Agreement No. 23–
27. Proposed MHA Resolution No. 23–01 would approve entering into Agreement No. 23– 27, and accept the transfer of Properties from the City to the MHA.
A copy of the proposed resolutions and agreement are attached for review and consideration by the City Council, MHA Commissioners, and MHC Board.
BACKGROUND: In June 1987, the former Redevelopment Agency (RDA) Board of Directors adopted the Central Avenue Single–family Acquisition Policy (Policy) authorizing staff to make purchase offers on single–family residences along the Central Avenue corridor, subject to the former Redevelopment Agency Board of Directors’ approval.
The Policy was later expanded to include areas along Central Avenue or in locations of high visibility. Pursuant to the Policy, a total of 17 single–family homes were purchased by the former RDA before its dissolution.
MONTCLAIR CITY COUNCIL MEETING – 05/01/2023 Page 136 of 204 With the dissolution of community redevelopment agencies in 2011 (AB 1X 26) and the California Supreme Court's decision in California Redevelopment Association v.
Matosantos, the City Council elected to continue the former RDA’s policy of acquiring single–family residences along the Central Avenue corridor or in locations of high visibility and further expanded the Policy to included residences along all of the City's major corridors.
The properties formerly owned by the RDA were transferred to the Montclair Housing Authority (MHA), the successor housing entity, and are currently rented to low– to– moderate–income families and are managed by the Montclair Housing Corporation (MHC), a nonprofit public–benefit corporation organized for the purpose of increasing, improving, and preserving affordable housing in the City of Montclair.
The rents and other income from the MHC belong to the MHA; however, they are granted to the MHC for use in covering expenses of operating the various housing units. The amount of rents collected from the renters is established by the State Department of Housing and Community Development and varies based upon income levels.
Agreement No. 23–27 Affordable Housing Agreement
In order to meet the City's Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA), a representation of future housing needs for all income levels in a region, staff recommends the properties be operated as rental units made available to low–to–moderate–income persons. As such, staff has prepared Agreement No. 23–27 an affordable housing agreement by and between the City, MHA, and MHC.
Proposed Agreement No. 23–27 contains language related to the conveyance of the Properties, compliance with applicable laws, use of the properties, remedies, and general provisions. The more salient points of proposed Agreement No. 23–27 relate to the conveyance of fee title of Properties from the City to the MHA and leasing of the properties from the MHA to the MHC for the day–to–day operation of the properties, as well as the rehabilitation and rental of the properties to low–to–moderate–income persons.
9814, 9875, and 9878 Monte Vista Avenue
The subject Properties are located on a highly visible and desirable portion of Monte Vista Avenue between Benito Street and San Bernardino Street, thereby meeting the criteria established in the City Council's Policy to acquire properties along the City's major corridors and areas of high visibility.
The properties were built between 1953 and 1957 and the lot sizes range from 7,272 – 7,420 square feet. The dwelling units range from 1,612 – 1,769 square feet with three to four bedrooms and two bathrooms.
Due to the age of the properties, and in order to bring the properties up to code, staff is recommending several improvements to the residential units. The bulk of the improvements to the properties would address general property clean–up, paint, fence replacement, updates to bathrooms, and new landscaping. Due to current and projected future drought conditions, simple water–efficient landscape–planting design for the rear and front yards are also being recommend.
The proposed improvements alone would have an immediate positive impact to the neighborhood. Staff is requesting that a $75,000 appropriation from the Housing Trust Fund be authorized to fund the recommend repairs to the properties.
MONTCLAIR CITY COUNCIL MEETING – 05/01/2023 Page 137 of 204 FISCAL IMPACT: Adoption of Agreement No. 23–27 would produce no fiscal impact to the City of Montclair General Fund.
Staff is recommending an allocation of $75,000 from the Housing Trust Fund in order to cover estimated costs for rehabilitation of the properties.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 23– 3403 approving Agreement No. 23–27, an Affordable Housing Agreement with the Montclair Housing Authority and Montclair Housing Corporation; authorizing transfer of certain real property located at 9814, 9875, and 9878 Monte Vista Avenue, Montclair, to the Montclair Housing Authority for use as affordable housing units; and declaring such real property to be exempt surplus land.
Staff recommends that the Montclair Housing Corporation Board of Directors adopt Resolution. No. 23–01 approving Agreement No. 23–27, an Affordable Housing Agreement with the City of Montclair and the Montclair Housing Authority.
Staff recommends that the Montclair Housing Authority Commissioners take the following actions:
1. Adopt Resolution No. 23–01 approving Agreement No. 23–27, an Affordable Housing Agreement by and between the City Of Montclair, Montclair Housing Authority, and Montclair Housing Corporation and accepting the transfer of certain real property from the City of Montclair to the Montclair Housing Authority.
