Agenda Item No. 14.

Prevention Grant Program. This grant provides funding for fire prevention projects and activities in and near fire-threatened communities that are on City-owned property. On August 19, 2024, MFR received notification from the granting agency informing the City of Murrieta (City) that it had been awarded a Wildfire Prevention Grant in the amount of $2,653,344.

MFR, in collaboration with the Planning Department, continues to advance efforts to comply with all requirements of the Cal Fire Grant. Staff has dedicated substantial time and resources toward initiating and progressing through the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review. Through a recent discussion with the Cal Fire Grants Team, staff received clarification that completion of the CEQA process, specifically development of an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND), is required, which necessitates a level of specialized technical expertise beyond what can be provided internally.

To meet this need, the City issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) seeking qualified firms to prepare the required IS/MND. Four proposals were received and evaluated by the City’s review panel through a competitive process that included scoring and comprehensive evaluations of qualifications. Based on the results of this process, DUDEK was selected for the contract award in the amount of $125,895, with an additional contingency not to exceed $14,105, bringing the total authorized contract amount to $140,000.

PUBLIC NOTICING
The agenda item has been noticed according to the Brown Act (72 hours in advance of the meeting at which the City Council considers the item).

FISCAL IMPACT
The City Council previously established a budget appropriation for the FY24 Cal Fire Wildfire Prevention Grant. The project has allocated $140,000 from this grant to complete the required Vegetation Management and CEQA Compliance services to be completed through this Agreement.

As a reimbursable grant, the City will incur eligible expenses upfront and request reimbursements from Cal Fire in accordance with the terms of the grant. This grant does not require any local fund match or cost share.

1) Consultant will defen d any action or actions filed or threatened in connection with any such Claims or Liabilities, or at option of Indemnitee(s) will reimburse and pay for all costs and expenses, including legal costs and attorneys’ fees, 315

incurred by Indemnitee(s) in connection therewith; and, 2) Consultant will promptly pay any judgment rendered against Indemnitee(s) for any such Claims or Liabilities, and will save and hold Indemnitee(s) harmless therefrom.

The City agrees that in no event shall the cost to defend charged to the Consultant exceed Consultant’s proportionate percentage of fault.

This duty to indemnify shall not be waived or modified by contractual agreement or acts of the parties.

5.3 Professional Liability. When the law establishes a professional standard of care for Consultant’s services, to the fullest extent permitted by law, Consultant shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Indemnitees against, and will hold and save them and each of them harmless from , whether actual or threatened, any and all Claims and Liabilities, consistent with all obligations provided for in this Section

5.3, to the extent same are caused in whole or in part by any negligent or wrongful 316

act, error or omission, or reckless or willful misconduct of Indemnitors in the performance of professional services under this Agreement.

All subcontractors shall provide for assignment to City of any documents and materials prepared by them, and in the event Consultant fails to secure such assignment, Consultant shall indemnify City for all damages resulting therefrom. Moreover, with respect to any Consultant documents and materials that may qualify as “works made for hire” as defined in 17 U.S.C. § 101, such documents and materials are hereby deemed “works made for hire” for City.

6.3 Confidentiality and Release of Information. All information gained or work product produced by Consultant in its performance of this Agreement shall be considered confidential, unless such information is in the public domain or already known to Consultant.

Response to a subpoena or court order shall not be considered “voluntary” provided Consultant immediately gives City notice of such court order or subpoena. If Consultant, or any officer, employee, agent or subcontractor of Consultant , provides any information or work product in violation of this Agreement, then City shall have the right to reimbursement and indemnity from Consultant for any damages, costs and fees, including attorney’s fees, caused by or incurred as a result of Consultant’s conduct.

ARTICLE 7. ENFORCEMENT OF AGREEMENT AND TERMINATION

7.1 California Law. This Agreement shall be interpreted, construed and governed both as to validity and to performance of the Parties in accordance with the laws of the State of California.

In the event of litigation in a U.S. District Court, venue shall lie exclusively in the Central District of California, in the County of Riverside, State of California.

7.2 Suspension, or Termination, Prior to Expiration of Term. This Section shall govern any termination of this Agreement except as specifically provided in Section

7.4 for termination for cause. City reserves the right to terminate or suspend this Agreement, or any portion hereof, at any time, for any reason, with or without cause, upon ten (10) days’ notice to Consultant, except that where termination or suspension is due to the fault of Consultant, the period of notice may be such shorter time as determined by City. Upon receipt of any notice of termination or suspension, Consultant shall immediately cease all services hereunder , unless the notice provides otherwise, or except such as specifically approved by City. Upon submittal of an invoice consistent with Section 2. 2, Consultant shall be entitled to compensation for all services rendered prior to the effective date of the notice of termination or suspension and for any services authorized by City thereafter in accordance with the Schedule of Compensation, or such a s may be approved by City, except as provided in Section 7.5. In event of termination , or suspension, 318

without cause pursuant to this Section, there is no need to provide opportunity to cure pursuant to Section 7.3.

7.3 Default of Consultant and Opportunity to Cure . In the event that Consultant is in default under the terms of this Agreement, City shall not have any obligation or duty to continue compensating Consultant for any work performed after the date of default. Instead, City may give notice to Consultant of the default and the reasons for the default. The notice shall include the timeframe in which Consultant may cure the default. This timeframe is presumptively t en (10) days, but may be extended, or reduced, if circumstances warrant, as determined by City. During the period of time that Consultant is in default, City shall hold all invoices and shall, when the default is cured, proceed with payment on the invoices , without liability for interest. In the alternative, City may, in its sole discretion, elect to pay some or all of the outstanding invoices during the period of default. If Consultant does not cure the default by conclusion of noticed timeframe , City may immediately both terminate this Agreement with notice to Consultant as well as pursue the remedy in Section 7.4, without prejudice to any other rem edy to which City may be entitled at law, in equity or under this Agreement . Any failure on the part of City to give notice of Consultant’s default shall not be deemed to result in a waiver of City’s legal rights or any rights arising out of any provision of this Agreement.

7.4 Termination for Default of Consultant. If termination is due to the failure of Consultant to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement, City may, after compliance with the provisions of Section 7.3, take over the work and prosecute the same to completion by contract or otherwise, and Consultant shall be liable to the extent that the total cost for completion of the services required hereunder exceeds the compensation herein stipulated (provided that City shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate such damages), and City may withhold any payments to Consultant for the purpose of set-off or partial payment of the amounts owed City therefor.

7.5 Retention of Funds. Consultant hereby authorizes City to deduct from any amount payable to Consultant (whether or not arising out of this Agreement) (i) any amounts the payment of which may be in dispute hereunder or which are necessary to compensate City for any losses, cost s, liabilities, or damages suffered by City, and (ii) all amounts for which City may be liable to third parties, by reason of Consultant’s acts or omissions in performing or failing to perform Consultant’s obligation under this Agreement. In the event that any claim is made by a third party, the amount or validity of which is disputed by Consultant, or any indebtedness shall exist which shall appear to be the basis for a claim of lien, City may withhold from any payment due, without liability for interest because of such withholding, an amount sufficient to cover such claim. The failure of City to exercise such right to deduct or to withhold shall not, however, affect the obligations of Consultant to insure, indemnify, and protect City as elsewhere provided herein.

319

7.6 Waiver. Waiver by any Party to this Agreement of any term, condition, or covenant of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other term, condition, or covenant. Waiver by any Party of any breach of the provisions of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other provision or a waiver of any subsequent breach or violation of any provision of this Agreement. Acceptance by City of any work or services by Consultant shall not constitute a waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement. No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy by a non -defaulting Party on any default shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver. Any waiver by either Party of any default must be in writing and shall not be a waiver of any other default concerning the same or any other provision of this Agreement. Consultant acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of City to inform Consultant of non -compliance with any requirement of this Agreement imposes no additional obligations on City nor does it waive any rights hereunder. Payment to Consultant for work performed pursuant to this Agreement shall not be deemed to waive any defects in work performed by Consultant.

7.7 Rights and Remedies are Cumulative. Except with respect to rights and remedies expressly declared to be exclusive in this Agreement, the rights and remedies of the Parties are cumulative and the exercise by either Party of one or more of such rights or remedies shall not preclude the exercise by it, at the same or different times, of any other rights or remedies for the same default or any other default by the other Party.

7.8 Legal Action. In addition to any other rights or remedies, either Party may take legal action, in law or in equity, to cure, correct or remedy any default, to recover damages for any default, to compel specific performance of this Agreement, to obtain declaratory or injunctive relief, or to obtain any other remedy consistent with the purposes of this Agreement.

Murietta, CA 92562
Subject: Proposal for Mitigated Negative Declaration Support and Supporting Technical Studies for the Murrietta Fire and Rescue WUI Vegetation Management Project Dear James Gillespie and Doug Strosnider,
Dudek presents this proposal to Murrieta Fire and Rescue for professional consulting services for support in the preparation of a Mitigated Negative Declaration and associated technical studies in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) for the Murietta WUI Vegetation Management Project. The following provides our project understanding, scope of work, and anticipated cost estimate to provide the professional services outlined in this proposal.

Project Understanding
Dudek understands Murrieta Fire and Rescue is advancing a defensible space and fuels management program within the City of Murrieta to reduce wildfire risk and improve community resilience. It is Dudek’s understanding that the City intends to treat areas that are 100 feet within structures within city-owned property. This total project area is understood to be approximately 615 acres. To support this effort, Dudek would prepare an initiation Study/ Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) for CEQA compliance. We understand that the project is being funded by a grant by CAL FIRE, who will serve as a responsible agency for the CEQA document.

This scope of work is to complete an IS/MND, provide biological and cultural resource technical reports, and to provide assistance with the environmental review process, consistent with the California Environmental Quality Act.

Scope of Services
TASK 1 PROJECT INITIATION AND PREPARATION OF PROJECT DESCRIPTION Dudek will prepare a draft project description and project schedule to share with the City and CALFIRE and will work directly with both City staff and CALFIRE to establish any communication protocol and address any other items prior to commencing work on the IS/MND.
326
TO: JAMES GILLESPIE AND DOUG STROSNIDER
SUBJECT: PROPOSAL FOR MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION SUPPORT AND SUPPORTING TECHNICAL STUDIES

FOR THE MURRIETTA FIRE AND RESCUE WUI VEGETATION MANAGEMENT PROJECT Based on project information provided by the City, Dudek will prepare a project description that describes the history of the project site, existing conditions present within the project boundaries, and surrounding land uses.

The elements of the project, including the treatment methods, will be described based on information provided by the City. A draft of the project description will be provided to City staff and CAL FIRE for review prior to commencing work on the IS/MND to ensure the project description accurately represents the project.

Cost for Task 1…………………………………………………………………………….…………………………………….………………. $4,060.00 TASK 2 MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION
Task 2.1 Administrative Draft IS/MND
Dudek will prepare the IS/MND using Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines. Project specific information provided by the City, and technical reports will be referenced and used to prepare the IS/MND. Completion of the IS/MND is dependent on receipt of requested project information and technical reports. Relevant information that supports the analysis, such as the Cultural and Biological Resources Report will be appended to the IS/MND.

Dudek will distribute an electronic copy of the Administrative Draft IS/MND in Microsoft Word files for easy review and editing to City staff. No hard copies of the Administrative Draft document will be provided. Dudek will respond to comments provided by City staff and to prepare the Screencheck version of the IS/MND.

Cost for Task 2.1……………………………………………………………………….…………………………………….………………. $17,210.00 Task 2.2 Prepare Screencheck and Public Review IS/MND
Based on City comments on the Administrative Draft IS, Dudek will prepare a Screencheck document for City and CALFIRE review to ensure the document incorporates all comments received. If possible, Dudek will create a Sharepoint site to enable review and editing of the document by all reviewers in real time. This enables the City to review and either accept or reject edits by CALFIRE which reduces the time required by the City to consolidate comments. Typically comments on a Screencheck document are minor and do not require significant updates or revisions to the analysis. If another version of the document, in addition to the Administrative Draft and Screencheck Draft is requested by City staff or CALFIRE for review and comment, it may require an amendment to the contract.

After receipt of final comments on the Screencheck document, Dudek will prepare the IS/MND for public review.

Dudek will prepare the Notice of Completion and, if requested by the City, submit an electronic copy of the document to the State Clearinghouse Office of Planning and Research (OPR) to start the public review period. It is assumed City staff will compile the mailing list and prepare and mail the required noticing.

Dudek will provide the City with an electric copy of the Screencheck IS/MND document in PDF for final review prior to publication. After receipt of all final comments Dudek will prepare the document for submission to OPR to start the required public review period. Dudek will provide the City with an electronic copy of the IS/MND in MS Word and a version in PDF for posting on the City’s website. 327

Cost for Task 2.2 ………………………………………………………………………….………………………………………………….$13,100.00 Task 2.3 Prepare Final IS/MND
After close of the 30-day public comment period, Dudek will bracket all comment letters received and prepare written responses. Should comments raise new issues or require additional surveys or technical studies be conducted to complete an adequate response, Dudek will initiate discussions immediately with City staff to evaluate the options. Dudek will update the IS/MND using track changes indicating changes made to the text based on comments received.

This task requires preparing an Administrative Draft Final IS/MND and a Screencheck IS/MND review draft for City and Applicant review, plus a clean Final MND document. If an excessive number of comment letters or individual comments (more than 15 individual comments) are received, it may necessitate a budget augment, or Dudek can charge on a time-and-materials basis not to exceed an agreed-upon budget.

Dudek will provide the City with a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Plan as part of the Final IS/MND.

Task 2 Assumptions
▪ No additional rounds of review in addition to the reviews described above would be required. ▪ Comments recieved on screencheck drafts would not result in substantial revisions to the IS/MND.
▪ No more than 15 individual comments would be recieved during the public review period. ▪ City staff will compile the mailing list and prepare and mail the required noticing Task 2 Deliverables
▪ One (1) electronic copy of the Administrative Draft IS/MND ▪ One (1) Screencheck IS/MND document in PDF for final review prior to publication ▪ One (1) electronic copy of the Public Review Draft IS/MND in MS Word and a version in PDF for posting on the City’s website.
▪ One (1) electronic copy of the Administrative Draft Final IS/MND including the revised IS showing changes to the text
▪ MMRP in Word for internal review.
▪ One (1) copy of the Final IS/MND in MS Word and a version in PDF for posting on the City’s website.

Cost for Task 2.3…………………………………………………………………………………………………….……………………….$9,830.00 TASK 3 BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES ASSESSMENT
Dudek will prepare a biological resources assessment letter report to document existing biological resources within the project footprint including habitat for special-status species and other wildlife protected under federal and/or state regulations (e.g., nesting birds). The work effort will involve the following key elements:
328
TO: JAMES GILLESPIE AND DOUG STROSNIDER
SUBJECT: PROPOSAL FOR MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION SUPPORT AND SUPPORTING TECHNICAL STUDIES

FOR THE MURRIETTA FIRE AND RESCUE WUI VEGETATION MANAGEMENT PROJECT

Database and Literature Review. Dudek will conduct a literature review to identify known records of special-status species in the vicinity of the site. The literature review will include a search of the California Department of Fish and Wildlife’s (CDFW) Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB), U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Information for Planning and Consultation (IPaC) online planning tool, and the California Native Plant Society’s (CNPS) Online Inventory of Rare and Endangered Plants. Other relevant technical documents and/or biological resources reports from other projects in the site vicinity will also be reviewed, as available.

Field Survey. Dudek biologists will conduct a reconnaissance-level field assessment of the 615-acre site to review current site conditions, document existing natural communities on and in the vicinity of the site and assess the potential for special-status species and sensitive habitat to occur. An inventory of plant and animal species detected by sight, calls, tracks, scat, or other sign, as well as habitat types. present will be compiled during the assessment. The potential presence of special-status species will be determined based on an evaluation of the physical characteristics of the project site (elevation, vegetation communities, soils, etc.), type and quality of habitats present, and records from the vicinity of the site. Vegetation communities will be classified according to A Manual of California Vegetation Online (CNPS 2026). If any potentially jurisdictional waters, such as streams or potential wetlands, are identified during the field assessment, Dudek will map the location and approximate extent of such features based on the presence of vegetation, landform and surface hydrology indicators, as well as any associated riparian communities, if present. A map showing the location/extent of such features will be prepared for incorporation into the biological resources assessment report, as described below.

Analysis and Documentation. Based on the results of the literature review and field assessment, Dudek will prepare a standalone, biological resources assessment report to support the preparation of the MND. The report will describe existing vegetation communities and occurrences of and/or suitability of the site for special-status plant and animal species. In addition, maps and figures showing the location/extent of any sensitive natural communities and/or special-status species occurrences identified within the site will be prepared for incorporation into the report. If any significant biological resources are determined to be present, and potentially impacted by the proposed project, Dudek will propose feasible avoidance and or/ mitigation measures to avoid such impacts. Finally, the report will also include an analysis of the project’s consistency with the MSHCP. While CAL FIRE is not a signatory of the MSHCP (i.e., Permittee), the project will still need to demonstrate under CEQA that it will not conflict with the Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP), Natural Community Conservation Plan (NCCP), or other approved local, regional, or state habitat conservation plan.

This task includes one draft report, one round of review and comments from the City, and a final version of the report.

Task 3 Assumptions
▪ Any access restrictions or notification requirements regarding the project site will be provided to Dudek by the City prior to the commencement of the survey work. City personnel will notify property owners or tenants of the survey work, if necessary. ▪ This scope includes two biologists for three days (6 person days total) to complete the biological reconnaissance survey.
▪ Approximately 615 acres will be surveyed.

SUBJECT: PROPOSAL FOR MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION SUPPORT AND SUPPORTING TECHNICAL STUDIES

FOR THE MURRIETTA FIRE AND RESCUE WUI VEGETATION MANAGEMENT PROJECT

▪ This scope does not include protocol-level focused surveys; however, it is recommended that timing of the biological reconnaissance survey occur in the spring/summer during applicable blooming periods for special-status plants.
▪ This scope does not include regulatory waters permitting.

Task 3 Deliverables
▪ Draft and Final report with the results of the biological resources investigation Cost for Task 3 .................................................................................................................................................. $31,180.00 TASK 4 ARCHAEOLOGICAL RESOURCES ASSESSMENT
Dudek will conduct an archaeological resources assessment to satisfy CEQA and City requirements in support of the proposed hazardous fuels reduction work. For the purposes of this scope, we assume that standard CAL FIRE methods will apply and be appropriate.

Cultural resources investigations will include an inventory of all cultural resources within the Area of Potential Effects (APE). Dudek will request a records search from the California Historic Resource Information System from the South Coastal Information Center for a 1-mile radius around the APE, per CAL FIRE standard practice, to obtain information on previously recorded cultural resources and investigations. We anticipate direct costs for the records search to be no more than $2,500.00.

Upon written notice to proceed, we will also initiate correspondence with the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) to request a search of the Sacred Lands File for any known Native American resources identified within the APE. As part of this search's results, the NAHC will provide a contact list of tribal individuals and organizations who may have additional information about resources in the vicinity. Dudek will plan to notify the traditionally geographically affiliated Native American tribes on the list by mail; however, we will confirm with City and CAL FIRE prior to doing so in order to ensure that there are no conflicts with the AB 52 process or other outreach. We assume no more than one round of letters, email, and phone calls to NAHC-listed tribal representatives will be required. No meetings are included in this scope of work.

Following archival research, We will complete an intensive pedestrian survey of the APE with transects spaced no greater than 15-ft apart. This is anticipated to include the full 615-acre area, excluding areas with unsafe conditions and exceeding 25% slope per standard practice. Dudek will subcontract with a local Tribe to provide a Native American monitor, who will participate in the survey. For the purposes of this scope, Dudek assumes that three (3) archaeologists and one (1) Native American monitor will be able to survey the APE in no more than four (4) standard 8-hour days, including the drive and mileage.

Dudek assumes no more than four previously recorded archaeological resources will require updates on California Department of Parks and Recreation 523 series resource records. Dudek assumes no built environment resources (buildings over 45 years in age) resources will be identified within the APE. Should new resources be encountered, additional documentation sufficient to prepare a Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) 523 Primary Record Form and Location Map will be required. This is considered the minimum standard of recordation recommended by the California Office of Historic Preservation. Dudek will work with you to prepare an additional cost and scope to support these or additional needed efforts.

SUBJECT: PROPOSAL FOR MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION SUPPORT AND SUPPORTING TECHNICAL STUDIES

FOR THE MURRIETTA FIRE AND RESCUE WUI VEGETATION MANAGEMENT PROJECT

Dudek will document the results of the cultural resources investigation in a full archeological resource management report (ARMR) report. This report will include a project information, archaeological records search information, Native American consultation information, pre -field research, survey methods, survey results, and management strategies. Management strategies will be desig ned such that they are feasible for standard fuel reduction implementation strategies. Dudek will work with you in the event that additional studies and documentation is required.

Task 4 Assumptions
▪ The survey can be completed in four (4) standard 8-hour workdays by three archaeologists and a Native American montior, including travel, and that access will be arranged prior to survey being conducted.
▪ Dudek assumes no more than 4 archaeological resources will require updates on California Department of Parks and Recreation 523 series resource records. ▪ No built environment resources (buildings over 45 years in age) resources will be identified within the APE. If new resources are identified, we will work with you prepare an additional cost and scope to support these or additional needed efforts.
▪ Survey will require no more than 615 acres excluding areas with unsafe conditions and exceeding 30% slope per standard practice.
▪ Direct records search cost will not exceed $2,500.00. ▪ No more than two drafts of the report.

Task 4 Deliverables
▪ Draft and Final report with the results of the cultural resources investigation Cost for Task 4 .................................................................................................................................................. $34,685.00 TASK 5 PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND MEETINGS
Ms.Lucett will coordinate interaction between the Dudek team, City staff, the Applicant and other agencies. Ms.

Lucett will also oversee internal staff, manage document review, review monthly invoices and prepare required invoice documentation, and complete other project management tasks, as required. Ms. Lucett will attend meetings.

We assume participation in up to five (5) virtual meetings with the City, and up to five (5) virtual meetings with the CAL FIRE. Over the life of the project an average of 1 hour per week of project management time is assumed.

Attendance at one Planning Commission hearing and one City Council hearing during project review/approval is also assumed.

No insurance policies maintained by the Additional Insureds, whether primary or excess, and which also apply to a loss covered hereunder, shall be called upon to contribute to a loss until the C onsultant’s primary and excess liability policies are exhausted.

Notice of Cancellation
Each insurance policy required above shall provide that coverage shall not be canceled, except with notice to the City.

Waiver of Subrogation
Consultant hereby grants to City a waiver of any right to subrogation which any insurer of said Consultant may acquire against the City by virtue of the payment of any loss under such insurance.

Consultant agrees to obtain any endorsement that may be necessary to affect this waiver of subrogation, but this provision applies regardless of whether or not the City has received a waiver of subrogation endorsement from the insurer.

Self-Insured Retentions
Self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by the City. The City may require the Consultant to purchase coverage with a lower retention or provide proof of ability to pay losses and related investigations, claim administration, and defense expenses within the retention.

The CGL and any policies, including Excess liability policies, may not be subject to a self -insured retention (SIR) or deductible that exceeds $25,000 [fill in the amount for your comfort level for the specific Con sultant and job – it could be much higher, or in the case of a very small Consultant, you might want it lower] unless approved in writing by City. Any and all deductibles and SIRs shall be the sole responsibility of Consultant or subcontractor who procured such insurance and shall not apply to the Indemnified Additional Insured Parties. City may deduct from any amounts otherwise due Consultant to fund the SIR/deductible. Policies shall NOT contain any self -insured retention (SIR) provision that limits the satisfaction of the SIR to the Named. The policy must also provide that Defense costs, including the Allocated Loss Adjustment Expenses, will satisfy the SIR or deductible. City reserves the right to obtain a copy of any policies and endorsements for verification.

Murrieta Police Department

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

Project Description
The Murrieta Police Department is trying to purchase new equipment to ensure we have the ability to service our DUI Checkpoints and maintain our presence in the community for the detection and enforcement of impaired driving and improving the safety of motorists in our service area. We believe the most effective use of monies to have the greatest impact on the community is updating our DUI Trailer to serve the needs of the community for the next 20 years as our current DUI trailer is a 2006 and aging. Furthermore we would like to increase the number of officers trained in the detection and enforcement of impaired driving by allocating funds to have more officers complete the SFST and ARIDE Training, as well as getting more officers trained as trainers so we can put on future training to help the law enforcement community around us with the higher level of expertise. Lastly, we would like to use funds to have more DUI Saturation patrols as well as checkpoints. We believe taking the approach of high visibility patrols as well as publicized DUI checkpoints not only acts as a community deterrent but increases the likelihood of detection which can improve the safety by locating violators before they are involved in vehicle collision.

Problem Statement
The City of Murrieta is home to approximately 120,000 residents and is continuing to grow and expand. This expansion is estimated to continue at a growth rate of 1.47% per year and has increased the usage of the roads and increased the capacity for collisions, especially those related to impaired driving. In 2025, the Murrieta Police Department took 611 collision reports. Of those reports there were 36 involving alcohol or drugs and resulted in an injury. There were also 2 fatalities related to impaired driving in 2025.

Furthermore, the Murrieta Police Department services nearly 22,000 students across the different schools which require education about impaired driving. The department is dedicated to taking a multi-pronged approach to reducing the harm of impaired driving on the community. Utilizing the funding from the grant to get more training, better equipment and more opportunities for increased enforcement.

Performance Measures/Scope of Work (Proposed Solution)
1 Trailer outfitted with equipment for DUI/DUID checkpoints purchased in Q1 which will be used for checkpoints as soon as practical.

(3) DUI Checkpoints: (Q2-1, Q3-1, Q4-1). The department is looking to use the high visibility event to increase awareness on our social media as well as presence in the streets to prevent and identify drunken and drugged driving via the checkpoints and attempt to reduce related collisions by 10%.

(20) DUI Saturation Patrols (Q1-5, Q2-5, Q3-5, Q4-5). The increased patrol and presence in the community would be used to show higher visibility and look to reduce injuries and deaths related to drunken or drugged driving by 10%.

Host and instruct (2) SFST Courses (Q2-1, Q4-1). The courses would be offered to Murrieta Police Department as well as all surrounding agencies to train officers for the observation and enforcement of DUI laws to increase all law enforcement proficiency.

Project Performance Evaluation
At the end of the reporting period, I will run statistical data through our reporting system. I will look to see a reduction in the number of collisions that are related to DUI and DUID. I will further examine this data to identify the seriousness of the collisions to see the reduction in fatal collisions. I will also look at our report management system to identify an increase in DUI and DUID arrests. This will help determine if the increased training and presence of officers leads to year-over-year improvement in our enforcement activities as we address the problem through enforcement and education.

351
Schedule A

Program Sustainability
The trailer is a one-time purpose that will replace old equipment that we already have. The department is committed to the servicing and upkeep of the new equipment to ensure it is useable for the long term and thus not require any funding of significance. Additionally, once the officers have gone through the training, they will then be able to deploy that training in the field.

Furthermore, they can informally train their partners up to bring the overall knowledge of the department up to a higher level of understanding. This knowledge will outlast the grant funds and be used into the future as officers are trained and gain more experience.

Administrative Support
The department currently and historically has been operating with funding from the OTS Grant. The OTS Grant is currently managed by myself, and I am aware of the documentation and reporting guidelines and how to manage and track the funding. We have a managerial analyst, who is the party responsible for the fiscal side of the grants. Dawnn Jackson has been in place for several years and knows the guidelines and tracking for grant funding to ensure we stay within budget and account for the monies entrusted to the department for reportable costs. The department as a whole has the staffing to ensure the funds are appropriately used in increasing our enforcement and presence in the community without impacting our day - to-day operations. We have enough trained staff that we can host an SFST course and train not only our officers but invite other local law enforcement agencies to train thus making the dollars used more valuable by helping other agencies and keeping California's roadways safer and our increasing our investigative prowess as it comes to DUI and DUID detection.

PREPARED BY: Renée Santos, Executive Assistant - Engineering SUBJECT:

Authority to Negotiate Right-of-Way for Keller Road at I-215 Interchange Project for the City of Murrieta

ABSTRACT
The proposed resolution delegates authority to the Director of Public Works to negotiate and acquire right-of- way interests for the Keller Road at I-215 Interchange Project. Delegation of this authority will allow the City to expedite the acquisition of the twenty-six (26) properties necessary for construction of the interchange project.

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Resolution No. 26-4967 entitled: A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Murrieta, California, Delegating Authority to the Director of Public Works to Negotiate and Purchase All Right-Of-Way Real Property Interests, Including Fee Title, and Easements, Necessary for the City of Murrieta’s Interstate 215 Keller Road Interchange Project as Authorized Herein.

PRIOR ACTION/VOTE
None.

STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT
This item aligns with the City Council goal to plan, program and create infrastructure development relating to a priority Tier 1 project. This action supports the City's Strategic Alignment by advancing the Keller Road at I-215 Interchange Project (CIP No. 8449), which was included in the Fiscal Year 2026/27 Capital Improvement Plan adopted by the City Council through Resolution No. 26-4962 on July 7, 2026.

DISCUSSION
The Interstate 215/Keller Road Interchange Project requires timely acquisition of real property interests, easements, utility agreements, and other right-of-way documents to maintain the project schedule and comply with state and federal funding requirements. Adoption of Resolution No. 26-4967 will delegate administrative authority to the Director of Public Works to complete these transactions within the Council-approved project CITY OF MURRIETA Printed on 8/13/2026Page 1 of 3

budget while reserving City Council approval for Purchase and Sale Agreements exceeding $1 million.

Delegating this authority will streamline the acquisition process, improve responsiveness during negotiations, and reduce delays that could jeopardize grant funding and project delivery.

The Interstate 215/Keller Road Interchange Project is a major regional transportation improvement intended to enhance mobility, improve traffic operations, and increase public safety within the City of Murrieta.

Implementation of the project requires acquiring various real property interests, including fee title, easements, temporary construction easements, utility agreements, and related right-of-way documents. The project also includes utility coordination and may require relocation assistance in accordance with applicable state and federal law.

Because the project receives state and federal funding, all acquisition and relocation activities must comply with the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act, California Eminent Domain Law, Government Code provisions governing public acquisitions, applicable regulations, and Caltrans Right-of -Way requirements. Caltrans will provide oversight and quality assurance throughout the acquisition process.

Right-of-way acquisition activities often require the prompt execution of acquisition documents after negotiations are completed and appraisals are approved. Waiting for individual City Council approval for each acquisition can delay project schedules and increase acquisition costs.

The proposed Resolution No. 26-4967 delegates authority to the Director of Public Works, following consultation with the City Manager and City Attorney, to:
· Negotiate acquisition of required real property interests; · Execute Certificates of Acceptance;
· Execute Right-of-Way Certifications;
· Execute Utility Agreements;
· Complete documents necessary to close escrow; and
· Complete related administrative actions required for project delivery.

The Resolution specifically provides that City Council approval remains required for Purchase and Sale Agreements exceeding $1 million, while allowing the Director of Public Works to approve all other right-of-way and utility-related items within the Council-approved project budget.

Delegating this authority is consistent with common Caltrans Local Assistance practices for federally funded transportation projects and will enable the City to remain compliant with grant schedules while ensuring appropriate administrative oversight.

SUBJECT:

Approve a Professional Services Agreement with RSG, Inc. for an Annexation Feasibility Study

ABSTRACT
Approval of a proposed Professional Services Agreement with RSG, Inc. for preparation of an annexation feasibility study to evaluate the fiscal, operational, and service delivery implications of potential annexation scenarios within the City's Sphere of Influence. The study will provide the City Council with the information necessary to determine whether to proceed with a formal annexation application to the Riverside Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO).

RECOMMENDATION
Authorize a transfer of $91,010 from the General Fund Reserve Balance to the City Manager’sConsultant Contracted Services Account (60320) to fund the Professional Services Agreement; Approve a Professional Services Agreement with RSG, Inc, in the amount of $91,010 for preparation of an annexation feasibility study in a form approved by the City Attorney; and Authorize the City Manager to execute the Professional Services Agreement.

PRIOR ACTION/VOTE
On February 26, 2026, the City Council adopted tiered priorities for citywide projects and initiatives, identifying Fire Station No.6 as a Tier 1 Priority.

STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT
This item aligns with the City Council goal to maintain a high performing organization that values fiscal sustainability, transparency, accountability and organizational efficiency relating to a Tier 1 priority. The feasibility study will provide the City Council with the information necessary to evaluate the fiscal, operational, and service delivery implications of potential annexation scenarios before determining whether to proceed with a formal annexation application.

Agenda Item No. 17.

DISCUSSION
Construction of Fire Station No. 6 is identified as a Tier 1 City Council Priority. The station is planned on a City- owned parcel located near the City's northeastern Sphere of Influence. While the station would improve emergency response capabilities for both existing City residents and nearby unincorporated communities, residents outside the City do not contribute certain municipal revenues that fund ongoing operations and maintenance of City services. In addition to the estimated $15-20 million cost to construct a new fire station, the estimated annual operating cost for a new station is approximately $5 million per year, which is not currently financially feasible for the City to absorb as an ongoing annual expense. Annexation could result in new revenues to help cover this annual cost, but would also create additional operational responsibilities for the City to provide other municipal services in the annexed area. The purpose of this feasibility study is to conduct an in-depth analysis to understand the long-term cost-benefit of a potential annexation.

To better understand the long-term fiscal and operational implications of serving these areas, the City developed a Request for Proposals (RFP) seeking professional consulting services to evaluate the feasibility of annexing portions of the City's northeastern Sphere of Influence. The feasibility study would evaluate three (3) potential annexation scenarios: the existing LAFCO-proposed annexation area, a modified City-requested annexation area, and full annexation of the City's Sphere of Influence.

The study is intended to provide the City Council with sufficient information to determine whether annexation is fiscally and operationally feasible before initiating a formal application with the Riverside Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO). If the Council determines annexation is not in the City's best interest, the project may conclude following completion of the feasibility study.

The City released an RFP in May 2026 and received two (2) proposals from qualified firms in July 2026. An evaluation committee reviewed the written proposals, conducted interviews, and completed reference checks.

Based on the evaluation process, RSG, Inc. was determined to provide the best overall value to the City based on its project understanding, experience with annexation feasibility studies, familiarity with Riverside LAFCO, and proposed project approach.

The proposed agreement also includes optional services that may be authorized in the future, including preparation of a LAFCO application, Proposition 218 engineering reports, assessment district modifications, and community outreach. These services are included to streamline future implementation should the City decide to proceed with annexation. Authorization of the agreement does not obligate the City to utilize these optional services. Any decision to proceed beyond the feasibility study will return to the City Council for consideration.

The estimated timeframe for completion of the first phase of the exploratory study is February 2027. Before any optional implementation services are authorized or the City proceeds with a formal annexation application, the City Council will be presented with the results of the feasibility study to determine whether moving forward is in the City's best fiscal and operational interest.

CEQA AND REGULATORY OVERVIEW

and 15060(c)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines because this action will not result in a physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly.

FISCAL IMPACT
The current budget does not included funds appropriated for this work. Approval of this item includes authorization to transfer $91,010 from the General Fund Reserve Balance to the City Manager's Consultant Contracted Services Account (60320) to fund the Professional Services Agreement. The cost for the first phase of work is $61,595. If the City opts to proceed with the LAFCO annexation process, the additional cost would be $29,415, for a grand total of $91,010.

The agreement establishes a not-to-exceed amount, and actual expenditures may be less than the authorized amount depending on the level of services ultimately required.

Consultant shall incorporate similar indemnity agreements as provided herein with its subcontractors, and if Consultant fails to do so Consultant shall be fully responsible to indemnify City hereunder therefor. Failure of City and/or City Parties (collectively “City” for solely this Section 5. 2(b)) to monitor compliance with any of the indemnification provisions herein shall not be a waiver hereof. The indemnification provisions herein do not apply to claims or liabilities occurring as a result of City’s sole negligence or willful misconduct, but, to the fullest extent permitted by law, shall apply to claims and liabilities resulting in part from City’s negligence, except that design professionals’ indemnity hereunder shall be limited to claims and liabilities arising out of the negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct of the design professional. The indemnification provided herein includes Claims or Liabilities arising from any negligent or wrongful act, error or omission, or reckless or willful misconduct of Indemnitors in the performance of professional services hereunder. Payment of invoices by City is not a condition precedent to enforcement of the indemnity obligation herein. In the event of any dispute between Consultant and City, as to whether liability arises from the sole negligence or willful misconduct of City, Consultant will be obligated to pay for City’s defense until such time as a final judgment has been entered adjudicating City as solely negligent or responsible for willful misconduct. Consultant will not be entitled in the absence of such a determination to any reimbursement of defense costs including but not limited to attorney’s fees, expert fees and costs of litigation. (c) Pursuant to the full language of California Civil Code §2782, and only if Consultant qualifies as a D esign Professional , Consultant agrees to indemnify, including the cost to defend, City and its officers, officials, employees, and volunteers from and against any and all claims, demands, costs, or liability that arise out of, or pertain to, or relate to the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of Consultant and its employees or agents in the performance of services under this contract, but this indemnity does not apply to liability for damages arising from the sole negligence, active negligence, or willful acts of the City; and does not apply to any passive negligence of the City unless caused at least in part by the Consultant. The City agrees that in no event shall the cost to defend charged to the Consultant exceed Consultant’s proportionate percentage of fault.

This duty to indemnify shall not be waived or modified by contractual agreement or acts of the parties.

5.3, to the extent same are caused in whole or in part by any negligent or wrongful 371

act, error or omission, or reckless or willful misconduct of Indemnitors in the performance of professional services under this Agreement.

374

No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy by a non- defaulting Party on any default shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver. Any waiver by either Party of any default must be in writing and shall not be a waiver of any other default concerning the same or any other provision of this Agreement.

The policy shall provide coverage for breach response costs, regulatory fines and penalties as well as credit monitoring expenses.

Other Insurance Provisions
The insurance policies are to contain, or be endorsed to contain, the following provisions:

Primary Coverage
For any claims related to this contract, the Consultant ’s insurance coverage shall be primary and non- contributory and at least as broad as ISO CG 20 01 04 13 as respects the City , its officers, officials, employees, and volunteers. Any insurance or self -insurance maintained by the City, its officers, officials, employees, or volunteers shall be excess of the Consultant’s insurance 386

01375.0001 2172436.1
and shall not contribute with it. This requirement shall also apply to any Excess or Umbrella liability policies.

Umbrella or Excess Policy
The Consultant may use Umbrella or Excess Policies to provide the liability limits as required in this agreement. This form of insurance will be acceptable provided that all of the Primary and Umbrella or Excess Policies shall provide all of the insurance coverages herein required, including, but not limited to, primary and non- contributory, additional insured, Self -Insured Retentions (SIRs), indemnity, and defense requirements. The Umbrella or Excess policies shall be provided on a true “following form” or broader coverage basis, with coverage at least as broad as provided on the underlying Commercial General Liability insurance.

The CGL and any policies, including Excess liability policies, may not be subject to a self -insured retention (SIR) or deductible that exceeds $25,000 [fill in the amount for your comfort level for the specific Consultant and job – it could be much higher, or in the case of a very small Consultant , you might want it lower] unless approved in writing by City. Any and all deductibles and SIRs shall be the sole responsibility of Consultant or subcontractor who procured such insurance and shall not apply to the Indemnified Additional Insured Parties. City may deduct from any amounts otherwise due Consultant to fund the SIR/deductible. Policies shall NOT contain any self -insured retention (SIR) provision that limits the satisfaction of the SIR to the Named. The policy must also provide that Defense costs, including the Allocated Loss Adjustment Expenses, will satisfy the SIR or deductible. City reserves the right to obtain a copy of any policies and endorsements for verification.

01375.0001 2172436.1

2. Insurance must be maintained and evidence of insurance must be provided for at least five (5) years after completion of the contract of work.

Verification of Coverage
Consultant shall furnish the City with original certificates and amendatory endorsements or copies of the applicable policy language effecting coverage required by this clause and a copy of the Declarations and Endorsements Pages of the CGL and any Excess policies listing all policy endorsements. All certificates and endorsements and copies of the Declarations & Endorsements pages are to be received and approved by the City before work commences. However, failure to obtain the required documents prior to the work beginning shall not waive the Consultant ’s obligation to provide them. The City reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies, including endorsements required by these specifications, at any time.

City reserves the right to modify these requirements, including limits, based on the nature of the risk, prior experience, insurer, coverage, or other special circumstances.

Fiscal Year 2026/27 Budget Update

ABSTRACT
This report presents the proposed Fiscal Year 2026/27 budget update, including adjustments to revenues, expenditures, and authorized staffing to reflect organizational, operational, and financial changes since adoption of the biennial budget in June 2025. The proposed amendments incorporate previously approved City Council actions, including labor agreements, grant funding, and budget modifications, while updating appropriations across the City's major operating funds to align with current revenue projections and expenditure needs. The report also includes an updated Schedule of Authorized Positions and affirms the City's continued commitment to maintaining long-term fiscal sustainability through prudent financial management and adequate reserve levels.

RECOMMENDATION

PRIOR ACTION/VOTE
On June 3, 2025, the City Council, the Boards of Directors of the Murrieta Fire District (MFD), the Community Services District (CSD), the Murrieta Library District (MLD), the Housing Authority (HA), and the City Council acting as Successor to the Redevelopment Agency (SA), adopted a joint Resolution (25-4837, MFD 25-225, CSD 25-285, MLB 25-201, RSA 25-35, and MHA 25-45) approving the Operating Budgets for Fiscal Years 2025/26 and 2026/27 (Vote: 5-0).

Agenda Item No. 18.

This item aligns with the City Council goal to maintain a high performing organization that values fiscal sustainability, transparency, accountability and organizational efficiency.

DISCUSSION
The City of Murrieta (City) adopts a biennial budget every two (2) years, starting in odd-numbered years. The budget period runs from July 1 to June 30. The Fiscal Year (FY) 2026/27 budget was adopted on June 3, 2025. At the time of adoption, the City had budgeted revenues of $199,633,571 and expenditures of $191,293,957. Since the budget was adopted, updates to the FY 2026/27 budget have been brought before the City Council and approved. These changes have already been applied to the budget with the City Council’s approval and will thus be labeled the Amended Budget. These City Council-approved updates resulted in a revenue budget of $202,764,635, up $3.1 million, due to higher anticipated revenues from SB1 Road Maintenance State funding and the addition of the third year of the Encampment Resolution Funding Grant, awarded to the City in 2025. The amended expenditure budget is now $194,491,848, primarily due to the inclusion of the third year of approved Encampment Resolution Funding Grant expenditures. Additionally, since the budget was adopted, the City Council has approved several labor group agreements. This report incorporates increases to the salary and benefits budgets associated with those agreements. The purpose of this budget update report is to:

1. Update the Fiscal Year 2026/27 Operating Budget to request appropriations for items not included in the original budget adoption and adjust budgets for various revenue and expenditures accounts detailed in Attachment 1; and

2. Approve the updated Schedule of Authorized Positions.

Economic Factors
Several economic factors over the past fiscal year had the potential to negatively impact sales tax generation.

In addition, sales tax revenue has remained relatively flat over the past four (4) years. Recognizing this trend, the City has adjusted its sales tax revenue budget based on historical collection patterns. As a result, actual sales tax revenues have continued to perform generally in line with the City's budget projections. Sales Tax, Property Tax, and other revenue, along with potential proposed changes, will be presented during a budget update later in the year, when analysis of Fiscal Year 2026/27 revenues is possible. The Federal Reserve has maintained interest rates at their current level. While the Federal Reserve has not indicated that a rate change is imminent, it continues to evaluate economic conditions and has stated that future policy decisions will remain data dependent.

Budget Strategies
Historically, the City has maintained a conservative budget approach to ensure long-term fiscal sustainability.

However, the FY 2025/26 and FY 2026/27 adopted budgets incorporated more aggressive budget forecasts and assumptions to balance the budget. This included a higher salary savings rate for personnel forecasting, a reduction in the departments’budget requests, and the use of Unassigned Fund Balance to fund one-time expenditures.

The City continues to maintain a strong financial position, supported by an operating reserve of at least 25% of the operating expenditure budget and sufficient unassigned fund balance to address short-term budget fluctuations and one-time expenditures. With a balanced budget and healthy operating and sustainability reserves, the City remains well-positioned to maintain fiscal stability while responding to future financial needs and priorities. While the City’s key revenue sources fluctuate, it has the capacity to address unforeseen economic changes by implementing successful cost-saving measures and using available unassigned fund balance. The adopted precautionary measures ensured the City is in a very good fiscal position while CITY OF MURRIETA Printed on 8/13/2026Page 2 of 10

Fiscal Year 2026/27 Proposed Adjustments
This report outlines the proposed changes for the five (5) major funds (General Fund, Measure T, Fire District, Community Services District (CSD), and Library). Attachment 1 contains a detailed list of all proposed budget adjustments, and Attachment 2 provides a summary of the proposed budget adjustments for the five (5) major funds, as well as a summary of the total operating budget for all funds.

General Fund Budget Adjustments
The proposed General Fund revenue changes reflect an overall decrease of $1,261,865, or two percent (2%).

These changes are necessary to align projected revenue collections with what is now anticipated to be received for this fiscal year. This overall decrease is due to reallocation of interest revenues and a reduction in anticipated County reimbursements. The most significant proposed changes are listed below:
· Interest income reallocation of $1,200,000 from the General Fund to the Measure T Fund. As of the Second Quarter of FY 2025/26, the City determined that Measure T interest income should be recorded in the Measure T Fund rather than grouped with the General Fund. From the FY 2025/26 second quarter interest allocation onward, staff will be recording Measure T Fund and General Fund interest allocations separately; and
· Decrease anticipated Riverside County reimbursements for Police Department (PD) programs of $61,865.

The proposed expenditure budget is being increased by $1,075,079. This amount includes both the net of decreases and increases in different expenditure accounts. When the City Council adopted the biennial operating budget in June 2025, the budget included assumptions for Cost-of-Living Adjustments (COLAs) for miscellaneous employee groups only, as negotiations with the public safety labor groups had not yet been completed.

Since the adoption of the budget, the FY 2026/27 COLA for the miscellaneous employee group has been finalized in accordance with the applicable labor agreement. In addition, labor negotiations with the public safety groups have concluded, resulting in newly approved labor agreements that increase personnel costs.

The new public safety Memorandum of Understanding (MOUs) for Fire and PD were approved by City Council on June 16 and July 7, 2026, respectively.

Accordingly, this report recommends budget increases to reflect the approved salary and benefit increases for the public safety labor groups and to update the personnel budgets for the miscellaneous employee groups based on the finalized FY 2026/27 COLA calculation. The budget also includes the reallocation of the legal costs budget and the addition of a few items omitted during the Biennial Budget process. A summary of the changes is as follows:
· Personnel-There has been an overall expenditure increase of $793,808, mainly due to the newly approved public safety related labor agreements, increases related to City Council-approved updates to the Salary Schedule, reallocating personnel budget due to the formation of the Municipal Services Department (MSD), and adjustments to the miscellaneous employee groups’personnel budget as a result of the final calculation of the FY 2026/27 COLA. · Operations & Maintenance Expenditures - An overall decrease of $269,406. o A net decrease of $48,000 is in the operations & maintenance budget for contract services - legal services, reflecting the reallocation of the budget to departments and other funds based CITY OF MURRIETA Printed on 8/13/2026Page 3 of 10

legal services, reflecting the reallocation of the budget to departments and other funds based on historical expenditure activity. Additionally, there is an $80,000 increase in other contract services, reallocating budget from Measure T Fund to the General Fund. o An increase of $187,584 across various accounts associated with the lease and utilities for the City’s annex building. Additional increases of $49,822 are associated with other activities omitted during the Biennial Budget development process. These activities include Citywide holiday décor, the Police Department’sHalloween “Darkin the Park”event, and an increase in PD’s training budget to match budgeted reimbursements.
· Allocations - Increase of $11,865 for the City’s Vehicle Replacement Program’s internal service program due to updated estimates of the future costs of various Fire Department vehicles. This results in an increase in annual allocations for the General Fund and Measure T Fund.

Based on the proposed adjustments identified above, the General Fund proposed amended revenue budget is $78,817,509, while the amended expenditure budget is $81,660,723, as shown in the table below. Assuming all revenue and expenditures are collected and spent as budgeted, the projected use of unassigned fund balance is $2,843,214.

Measure T Fund Budget Adjustments
The proposed revenue budget increase is $1,200,000, or four percent (4%), due to the way interest income is being recorded. As discussed in the General Fund section, Measure T Fund interest income will be recorded in Measure T rather than grouped with the General Fund going forward.

Likewise, staff proposes a net increase to the Measure T expenditure budget of $808,702. This includes both decreases and increases across the expenditure accounts listed below:

Agenda Item No. 18.
· Personnel - An increase of $167,111 due to the newly approved public safety labor agreements and adjustments to the miscellaneous employee groups COLA. The new public safety MOUs for Fire and PD were approved by Council on June 16 and July 7, 2026, respectively. · Operations & maintenance - A decrease of $80,000 in contract services that is associated with a planned PD expense that is being reallocated to the General Fund; and · Allocations - Increase of $24,796 for the City’s Vehicle Replacement Program’s internal service program due to updated estimates of the future costs of various Fire Department vehicles. This results in an increase in annual allocations for the General Fund and Measure T Funds. · Transfers Out - Staff also proposes to increase the transfers out for the Measure T Fund by $696,795.

This is to account for the proposed changes in expenditures for the Fire District, Community Services District (CSD), and Library Funds. The City’sMeasure T transfers out are utilized to cover Fire, CSD, and Library when their expenditures exceed their revenues and are true up at the end of the fiscal year.

As shown in the table below, the Measure T Fund's proposed amended revenue budget is $30,753,592, while the proposed amended expenditure budget is $29,688,532. Assuming all revenue and expenditures are collected and spent as budgeted, the projected contribution to unassigned fund balance is $1,065,060.

Fire District Fund Budget Adjustments
Staff recommends increasing the budgeted transfer from the Measure T Fund by $533,483 to fund the proposed increase in the Fire District's expenditures to support their operations and maintain a balanced budget. This includes both decreases and increases in different expenditure accounts, listed below:
· Increases in personnel costs associated with newly approved public safety related labor agreements, which resulted in an increase of $563,483.
· Similar to the General Fund, there is a net decrease of $30,000 is in the operations & maintenance budget for contract services - legal services, reflecting the reallocation of the budget to departments and other funds based on historical expenditure activity.

Agenda Item No. 18.

CSD Fund Budget Adjustments
The proposed revenue budget for the CSD Fund reflects an increase of $170,626, or three percent (3%). This increase is attributable to a higher transfer from the Measure T Fund to maintain a balanced budget and support the proposed increase in expenditures.

Likewise, staff proposes an increase in the expenditure budget of $169,067, reflecting decreases and increases in different expenditure accounts, including:
· An increase of $174,067 due to reallocating personnel budgets due to the formation of the Municipal Services Department (MSD) and due to adjustments to the miscellaneous employees group COLA. · A decrease of $5,000 in the operations & maintenance budget for contract services - legal services, reflecting the reallocation of the budget to departments and other funds based on historical expenditure activity.

Library Fund Budget Adjustments
The proposed revenue budget decrease is $7,314, or three percent (3%). This proposed decrease is for the transfer in that the Library receives from the Measure T Fund to maintain a balanced budget and support the Library operations.

Agenda Item No. 18.

Likewise, the staff proposes an expenditure budget decrease of $7,315. This includes both decreases and increases in different expenditure accounts, including:
· A decrease of $10,315, which is due to the COLA adjustments for the miscellaneous employee groups' labor agreements. As previously discussed, the COLA adjustment were slightly below the assumptions made at the time of the budget adoption. The Library Fund personnel budget is reduced because the original budget assumption exceeded the final negotiated COLA. · An increase of $3,000 in the operations & maintenance budget for contract services - legal services, reflecting the reallocation of the budget to departments and other funds based on historical expenditure activity.

Staffing Changes
Staff regularly brings the Schedule of Authorized Positions to the City Council to reflect new position requests and position title reclassifications. This proposed schedule update adds the net of two (2) Full-Time Equivalent CITY OF MURRIETA Printed on 8/13/2026Page 7 of 10

and position title reclassifications. This proposed schedule update adds the net of two (2) Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) positions for FY 2026/27. This brings the total to 481.09 FTE positions (Attachment 3). This request includes four (4) new positions, one (1) title reclassification, and one (1) promotion, as part of a proposed organizational realignment. This report also includes a reduction of two (2) positions due to an oversight in the last Schedule of Authorized Positions. The total FTE count includes three (3) new Firefighter positions approved by the City Council on June 3, 2025, to support the scheduled arrival of the tiller fire truck in early 2027. Additional recommended position adjustments include:
· The Traffic Signal/Lighting Superintendent position is recommended to enhance business continuity and support the City's long-term goal of internalizing streetlight and traffic signal maintenance services. · Landscape design and plan check review services are currently outsourced. The proposed Landscape Architect position will strengthen the City's in-house landscape design and plan check review capabilities while providing additional support to both the Development Services Department and the Municipal Services Department.
· The Housing Specialist position will support the Murrieta Housing Authority by assisting with annual reporting requirements, administration of the revolving loan fund, and other housing-related functions, thereby reducing the workload currently managed by senior staff. · The proposed position title reclassification and promotion will enhance business continuity by strengthening succession planning and ensuring continued operational effectiveness. · On July 7, 2026, City Council meeting, the Schedule of Authorized Positions presented with the amendment and restatement of the Comprehensive Pay Schedule inadvertently double-counted two (2) Associate Civil Engineer positions. This report makes the adjustment to rectify the oversight.

These changes are intended to enhance operational efficiency and effectiveness, improve organizational alignment, and support the City's employee recruitment and retention efforts. The budgetary impact for these positions will be included in the FY 2026/27 First Quarter Budget update report.

Agenda Item No. 18.

Unassigned Fund Balance
The General Fund is proposed to draw on the unassigned fund balance of $5,449,854 for FY 2026/27. Of that, approximately $2,843,214 is allocated to balance the budget as a result of an operating budgetary deficit (budgeted revenues less than budgeted expenditures), and $1,750,000 is allocated to the FY 2026/27 Capital Improvement Plan to fund the Equestrian Center maintenance, City Hall first-floor improvements, and Citywide Beautification projects. Lastly, as part of the biennial budget adopted on June 3, 2025, the City committed $856,640 of the General Fund's unassigned fund balance to maintain the Operating Reserve at approximately 30% policy level. After accounting for the planned use of unassigned fund balance to support City operations, Capital Improvement Program (CIP) projects, and this reserve commitment, the General Fund's estimated unassigned fund balance is projected to be $25,300,062.

The Measure T Fund is expected to contribute $18,823 to its unassigned fund balance. Of that, $1,065,060 is an operating surplus (budgeted revenues exceeding budgeted expenditures), and it also includes $204,761 net allocation to the Capital Improvement Plan budget for several projects, funding, and other defunding.

Lastly, as part of the biennial budget adopted on June 3, 2025, the City committed $841,476 of Measure T Fund unassigned fund balance to maintain the Operating Reserve at approximately 30% policy level. After accounting for the planned contribution of unassigned fund balance to support City operations, Capital Improvement Program (CIP) projects, and this reserve commitment, the Measure T Fund's estimated unassigned fund balance is projected to be at $18,659,534.

The Fire District's budget is currently balanced through a budgeted transfer of $7,009,004 from the Measure T Fund. Because the Fire Fund relies on the Measure T Fund to cover its operating shortfall, the transfer amount will be trued up at fiscal year-end based on actual operating results.

The CSD Fund's budget is currently balanced through a budgeted transfer of $2,767,301 from the Measure T Fund. Because the CSD Fund relies on the Measure T Fund to cover its operating shortfall, the transfer amount will be trued up at fiscal year-end based on actual operating results.

The Library Fund's budget is currently balanced through a budgeted transfer of $30,348 from the Measure T Fund. Because the Library Fund relies on the Measure T Fund to cover its operating shortfall, the transfer amount will be trued up at fiscal year-end based on actual operating results.

The estimated unassigned fund balances for the funds mentioned above are subject to change for the following reasons:
· As of the writing of this report, the FY 2025/26 audit has not been completed. Therefore, the estimated beginning unassigned fund balance for FY 2026/27 is subject to change; and · Operating financial activities through FY 2026/27 can differ from the estimated operating budget due to economic changes, unanticipated expenses or revenues, and budgetary savings.

Below is a summary of this information. Attachment 4 includes a table with all funds and the fiscal impact of these proposed changes.

Discussion Regarding Traffic Congestion Requested by City Council Member Stone

ABSTRACT
This report provides the City Council with an opportunity to discuss traffic congestion, as requested by City Council Member Stone at the May 5, 2026, City Council meeting, and provide direction to staff as necessary regarding future priorities, programs, and potential strategies.

RECOMMENDATION
Provide direction to staff.

PRIOR ACTION/VOTE
On May 5, 2026, during Council Member Requests to Add or Withdraw Items, Council Member Stone requested that a discussion be brought forward to a future City Council meeting regarding traffic congestion (Consensus received).

STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT
This item aligns with the City Council goal of coordinating and delivering responsive, effective community services. Traffic signal synchronization is identified as a Council Tier 1 priority; however, traffic congestion as a whole is not identified as a tiered priority.

DISCUSSION
At the May 5, 2026, City Council meeting, Council Member Stone received consensus to further discuss traffic congestion. This item provides the City Council with an opportunity to discuss this topic and to provide staff with additional information on the scope and vision for traffic congestion relief efforts.

As additional context on this topic, two (2) recent efforts to address traffic congestion include:
· During this past year, the City implemented a traffic signal synchronization pilot program along Los Alamos Road between Hospitality Lane and Whitewood Road to improve traffic flow and reduce congestion along the arterial. Traffic signal synchronization is also a Tier 1 Council Priority. Through the CITY OF MURRIETA Printed on 8/13/2026Page 1 of 2

congestion along the arterial. Traffic signal synchronization is also a Tier 1 Council Priority. Through the pilot program, staff identified challenges coordinating signal timing with the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) at signalized freeway on- and off-ramps at Los Alamos and Interstate 215, which can limit the effectiveness of synchronization efforts along the broader corridor. · The City has also worked with regional partners through the Southwest Elected Leaders Collaborative and Assemblywoman Kate Sanchez to introduce legislation this year (AB 2307) intended to advance regional traffic signal synchronization including the participation of Caltrans. The proposed effort would focus on communities within the Western Riverside Council of Governments’ southwest Riverside County subregion to study opportunities for traffic signal synchronization and coordination between different cities along roadway corridors and at freeway interchanges.

Based on City Council direction, staff may return with additional analysis, program options, estimated costs, funding considerations, and potential alternatives. Any future recommendations would be evaluated in coordination with ongoing transportation projects, available resources, regional traffic patterns, and the City Council’s established priority of improving traffic signal synchronization.

PUBLIC NOTICING
The agenda item has been noticed according to the Brown Act (72 hours in advance of the meeting at which the City Council considers the item).

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no immediate fiscal impact associated with this report. Any future programs, policies, or related actions brought forward for City Council consideration will include a separate evaluation of potential fiscal impacts.

During this period, one (1) individual pulled nomination papers for City Council District 1, filed the nomination papers, and qualified for the ballot: District 1: Jon Levell.

Appointment Process
Pursuant to California Elections Code §10229, if only one person is nominated to be elected from or by a legislative district, the city elections official shall submit a certificate of facts to the governing body of the city and inform the governing body of the city that it may adopt one of the following courses of action:

1. Appoint to the office the person who has been nominated; or

2. Hold the election if either no one or only one person has been nominated.

On Monday, August 10, 2026, the City Clerk/Local Elections Official transmitted the Notice/Certificate of Facts (Attachment No. 1) and informed the City Council of its options. California Elections Code §10229 also requires the city elections official to publish the Notice/Certificate of Facts. After the fifth day following the date of posting or publication, the governing body may make the appointment or direct an election to be held in the affected territory. If by the 75th day before the municipal election (August 20, 2026), no person has been appointed to office, the election shall be held.

On Monday, August 11, 2026, the City Clerk/Local Elections Official caused the Notice/Certificate of Facts to be posted. On Wednesday, August 12, 2026, the same notice was published in the Press Enterprise, San Bernardino Sun, and The Daily Bulletin.

1. Appoint to the office the person who has been nominated The City Council may appoint the qualified candidate, Jon Levell. If appointed, Jon Levell will serve the full four (4) year Council Member term representing City Council District 1. Mr. Levell would take office and serve exactly as if elected at a municipal election for the office.

The appointment will result in the cancellation of the election for the Office of City Council Member for District

1. Districts 2 and 5 will continue as scheduled. The cancellation of the election for the District 1 Office will eliminate the opportunity for write-in candidates in District 1 to file with the City Clerk/Local Elections Official.

In addition, it would decrease the estimated cost of the Election by approximately $50,000.00.

2. Hold the election if either no one or only one person has been nominated The time constraint in California Elections Code §10229 provides that if the City Council does not make an appointment by the 75th day before the Election (August 20, 2026), the election shall be held. Therefore, the Election will be held as originally called with City Council Districts 1, 2 & 5 if no action is taken by August 20th.

If the City Council decides to hold the District 1 Election, there would be a limited opportunity for one or more write-in candidates to qualify for the Election. Only write-in candidates who have properly qualified may be considered in the vote tally. To qualify as a write-in candidate, a person generally must follow the same process as becoming a traditional candidate. They must file certain information with the elections official and must submit the proper number of signatures nominating that person as a write-in candidate. Nomination papers for write-in candidacy are available from September 7, 2026, to October 20, 2026. If no official write-in CITY OF MURRIETA Printed on 8/13/2026Page 2 of 3

candidates are qualified, Jon Levell would only need a single vote to be elected in the District 1 Election.

PUBLIC NOTICING
The agenda item has been noticed according to the Brown Act (72 hours in advance of the meeting at which the City Council considers the item) in addition to the posting and publication described above.

FISCAL IMPACT
Funding for an election in three voting districts is available in the City Clerk's FY 2026/27 operating budget for election services. General ledger account number 1102400-63520 is funded at $130,000. The original estimate provided for the cost of the Election for three (3) districts was $145,000. The exclusion of District 1 Election would decrease the cost by approximately $50,000, resulting in an updated estimated cost of $95,000.
