STAFF REPORT
Date: July 6, 2022 Agenda Item:

2.L.

To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
Prepared By: Chad Blais, Public Works Director
Department: Public Works
SUBJECT:

Amendment of FY 2023-2027 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) to include additional funding for the MDP Line N-1C Extension Storm Drain Project; and acceptance of bids and award of Contract for the MDP Line N-1C Extension Storm Drain Project RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt Resolution No. 2022-54 to increase FY 2023-2027 CIP storm drain funding in the amount of $241,000 for the MDP N-1C Extension Storm Drain project; Adopt Resolution No. 2022-55 to increase FY 2023-2027 CIP street improvement funding in the amount of $374,000 for the street work associated with the MDP Line N-1C Extension Storm Drain Project; Accept bids and award a contract to CEM Construction Corporation for the MDP Line N-1C Extension Storm Drain Project in the amount of $1,103,644; and authorize the City Manager to approve contract change orders up to 10 percent of the total bid amount.

SUMMARY:

Bids for the MDP Line N-1C Extension Storm Drain Project were opened on June 15, 2022, with CEM Construction Corporation of Montebello, California being the lowest responsible bidder. Therefore, it is recommended that a contract be awarded to CEM Construction Corporation in the amount of $1,103,644 and authorize the City Manager to approve contract change orders up to 10 percent of the total bid amount.

BACKGROUND:

Plans and specifications for the MDP Line N-1C Extension Storm Drain Project were advertised on May 23, 2022, with a bid opening date of June 15, 2022. A total of six (6) bids were received with proposals ranging in value from $1,103,644 to $2,062,619. The bid summary analysis has been attached for Council’s review (See Bid Summary). The MDP Line N-1C project includes the installation of 1,000 linear feet of various size RCP storm drain and catch basins. The project also includes street improvements necessary to direct runoff into the proposed storm drain system (See Project Exhibit).

Page 233 of 375 ends

Staff has reviewed all the bids submitted and determined that CEM Construction Corporation of Montebello, California as being the lowest responsible bidder in the amount of $1,103,644 (See Bid Proposal). Staff has reviewed the references of the lowest bidder and bid documents submitted and determined the bid is responsive to all requirements and the contractor has the experience to complete the required construction activities for the MDP Line N-1C Extension Storm Drain Project.

The MDP Line N-1C Extension Storm Drain Project has an approved construction budget of $485,000 (4214.37;129.935.43180 & 129.935.43180.30) for the storm drain portion of the project and $250,000 (4101.7;149.930.43160) for the street improvement portion of the project resulting in an overall budget amount of $735,000. The budget is insufficient to fund the low bid amount. Therefore, staff is recommending approval to amend the FY 2023-2027 CIP Budget to increase the project budget in the amount of $241,000 for the storm drain design and construction portion of the work and $374,000 for the street improvement work to ensure sufficient funding for the project ($1,214,009) to cover design costs, the full bid amount and a 10% contingency.

Funds for the storm drain portion of the project will be secured through a Funding Agreement with the Riverside County Flood Control & Water Conservation District (RCFC&WCD). Funding for the storm drain portion of the project includes 100% of the contract award amount, 100% of the design costs, 10% for design administration, 15% for construction contract administration and 10% for construction change orders. The Funding Agreement from RCFC&WCD will be approved by Council as a separate item.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The MDP Line N-1C Extension Storm Drain Project was approved as a Capital Improvement Program (CIP) project for Fiscal Year 2023-2027. Funds in the amount of $735,000 ($35,000 for design, $450,000 for storm drain construction and $250,000 for street construction) are included in the CIP Budget which is insufficient to fund the lowest bid amount. Approval of Resolution Nos 2022-54 and 2022-55 will appropriate an additional budget amount of $241,000 & $374,000, respectively, for construction, design and administrative costs to ensure sufficient funding for the project is available to cover the full bid amount and 10% contingency ($1,350,000). The additional costs beyond the project costs and 10% contingency for the project are for design, design administration and construction administration.

RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN:

Construction of the MDP Line N-1C Extension Storm Drain Project is consistent with Strategic Direction #5 – Ensure timely preservation, replacement, improvement and acquisition of infrastructure and capital assets.

Any failure to maintain the required insurance shall be sufficient cause for City to terminate this Contract.

The duty to indemnify City shall apply to all claims and liability regardless of whether any insurance policies are applicable. The policy limits do not act as a limitation upon the amount of indemnification to be provided by Contractor. Approval or purchase of any insurance contracts or policies shall in no way relieve from liability nor limit the liability of Contractor, its principals, officers, agents, employees, persons under the supervision of Contractor, vendors, suppliers, invitees, consultants, sub-consultants, subcontractors, or anyone employed directly or indirectly by any of them.

Nothing herein provided for shall in any way excuse the Contractor or his/her insurance company from the obligation of furnishing all the required materials and completing the work in full compliance with the terms of the Contract.

In the event the surety or Contractor intends to reduce or cancel any required bond, at least thirty (30) days prior written notice shall be given to the City, and Contractor shall post acceptable replacement bonds at least ten (10) days prior to expiration of the original bonds. No further payments shall be deemed due or will be made under this Agreement until any replacement bonds required by this section are accepted by the City. To the extent, if any, that the total compensation is increased in accordance with the Agreement, the Contractor shall, upon request of the City, cause the amount of the bonds to be increased accordingly and shall promptly deliver satisfactory evidence of such increase to the City. To the extent available, the bonds shall further provide that no change or alteration of the Agreement (including, without limitation, an increase in the total compensation, as referred to above), extensions of time, or modifications of the time, terms, or conditions of payment to the Contractor, will release the surety. If the Contractor fails to furnish any required bond, the City may terminate this Agreement for cause.

STAFF REPORT
Date: July 6, 2022 Agenda Item:

5.A.

To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
Prepared By: Michelle Anglin, Community Services Director Department: Community Services
SUBJECT:

Approval of the Memorandum of Understanding Between the City of Norco and City of Corona for Collaborative Homeless Programs and Services.

RECOMMENDATION:

1. Approve the Fiscal Year 2023 Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the City of Norco and City of Corona for collaborative homeless programs and services, and authorize the City Manager to execute the Fiscal Year 2023 MOU.

2. Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to approve non-substantive amendments, including line-item adjustments and hourly compensation rate increases within the approved program budget of Fiscal Year 2023 MOU between the City of Corona and the City of Norco.

SUMMARY:

The City Council will consider approving the Fiscal Year 2023 Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the City of Corona and the City of Norco for Collaborative Homeless Programs and Services which are provided through City Net. The Fiscal Year 2022 MOU expired on June 30, 2022 and the City of Corona City Council voted unanimously on June 15, 2022 to extend the agreement through June 30, 2023. Staff is recommending the Norco City Council approve the Fiscal Year 2023 Corona-Norco MOU for Collaborative Homeless Programs and Services for a total amount not to exceed $615,690.

BACKGROUND:

On July 7, 2021, Norco City Council approved the Fiscal Year 2022 MOU for Collaborative Homeless Services with the City of Corona (Exhibit A). This program's service level consisted of thirty-two (32) hours of weekly street outreach, engagement and case management along with eight (8) motel emergency shelter rooms per night. In addition, the MOU included a 10% administrative fee that was paid to the City of Corona for managing Norco’s homeless programs through the City Net contract.

Page 302 of 375 ends

The Corona-Norco Collaborative Homeless Services partnership has been extremely successful. During this past fiscal year, Norco’s motel shelter program has been at capacity serving homeless clients with documentable ties to the City of Norco. In addition, City Net continues to actively engage Norco’s homeless neighbors in River Trails Park within the Santa Ana River and on the streets throughout the City of Norco.

The County views the Corona-Norco Partnership as a successful best practice.

Accordingly, Supervisor Karen Spiegel attended the Corona City Council meeting on June 15, 2022 to thank the City of Corona for partnering with the City of Norco to collaboratively address homeless issues in her District. In addition, during the June 16, 2022 2nd District Santa Ana Riverbed Homeless Collaborative meeting, Supervisor Spiegel complimented the cities of Corona and Norco for their work on this successful partnership.

The proposed Fiscal Year 2023 MOU for Collaborative Homeless Services with the City of Corona includes the continuation of the motel program to provide eight (8) emergency shelter motel rooms per night, two (2) City Net part-time case managers that provide outreach, engagement, and case management services two (2) days per week, contract management through the City of Corona Homeless Solutions Manager and a partnership with Corona for the Make It Cozy (MIC) Program since community stakeholders from both cities donate resources to support MIC.

Because the City of Corona manages the regional Santa Ana River (SAR) Collaborative for the Corona-Norco region, the two cities were the first in the western region to place 100 percent of SAR encampment residents into motel shelter and to obtain approval from the Army Corps of Engineers for clean-up of fire hazards and debris from the homeless encampments in the area.

At the July 6, 2022 Council meeting, Karen Roper, the City of Corona Homeless Solutions Manager will be conducting a presentation to provide City Council and the public with a report on outcomes and progress during Fiscal Year 2022.

Staff is requesting that City Council authorize the City Manager to renew and execute the Fiscal Year 2023 MOU with the City of Corona up to the maximum amount of $615,690 and to approve non-substantive amendments, including line-item adjustments and hourly compensation rate increases within the approved program budget of Fiscal Year 2023 MOU between the City of Corona and the City of Norco. The Fiscal Year 2022 MOU with Corona is attached to this agenda item for reference as the terms and conditions of the Fiscal Year 2023 MOU will be substantially similar, other than the dates, budgeted amounts and format of tables and budget exhibits.

If the City Council approves staff recommendations, the Fiscal Year 2023 MOU will be finalized and executed with the term beginning on July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The total estimated cost under this MOU between the City of Corona and the City of Norco for Collaborative Homeless Programs and Services for Fiscal Year 2023 is a not-toexceed amount of $615,690.

Technology Assessment Summary
The major business applications are capable of meeting the departments operational requirements with two exceptions. Tyler New World, t system (financials, human resources, payroll, community development, and utility billing) vendor, has announced that the product will be Munis. The City will need to determine whether moving to Tyler Munis or exploring the marketplace for a new ERP system is the correct strategy.

Staff have also identified many gaps in the capabilities of the document management system. An assessment and gap analysis of the system is recommended before selecting a new citywide document management system. Modern document management systems can also provide greater functionality including integrations with many other software systems and workflow automation tools that could streamline many of the manual processes maintained throughout City operations.

Staff realize that updates and improvements to business applications and business processes are necessary to meet the needs of constituents. An increased desire to leverage business applications that serve constituents has resulted in a desire to increase investment in technology, leading to the creation of this plan. We recommend that, over time, detailed assessments and process reviews be undertaken to improve efficiency and resident services in the majority of business applications.

COVID-19 has also increased the demand for flexible communications, technology, and mobile computing. The demand for more flexible working capabilities continues to be strong even as the virus has waned. The existing email and file sharing methodology must be updated to provide tools supporting mobility and collaboration. Moving to Microsoft 365 will provide staff with additional tools that are expected to improve communication and overall productivity.

Over the past three years, cybersecurity threats have increased significantly, requiring government agencies to increase spending on cybersecurity, risk mitigation, and resiliency.

Increased spending to improve core infrastructure, the resiliency of the technology infrastructure and additional cybersecurity tools have been included in the initial years of the plan.

Throughout the City, the demand for IT services has exceeded available resources. Additional investment in improving and managing business applications are now necessary to support increased communications, applications, data sharing, and reporting needs. With the many needs, technology governance will be important to the successful implementation of the plan.

Successful implementation will also require additional resources dedicated to cybersecurity and business application analyst(s) assisting departments to improve application utilization and efficiency.

Due to limitations, staff training and underutilization of some software systems, department staff have created numerous manual workarounds that increase reliance on external shadow systems to bridge application business process shortcomings. The goal of the plan is to affect a Digital Transformation at the City, reducing the reliance on paper and shadow systems while increasing automation and efficiency.

The majority of IT infrastructure is aging and will require a refresh within the next two years.

The City Hall structured cabling system was not installed according to best practices and should be replaced to reduce maintenance costs and increase bandwidth. Additional investment in cybersecurity mitigation efforts, disaster recover planning, and system resiliency are outlined in the below plan. We recommend that the City expand capital replacement planning to include all technical equipment and a long-term sustainability plan to institutionalize ongoing investment in technology.

The following analysis provides feedback on key measurements regarding technology investments and IT support operations:

Technology Budgeting/Expenditures Technology Spending vs. Operating Related Budgets IT Staffing IT Staffing Ratios
IT Capital Replacement Schedules Equipment Replacement Schedules Technology Spending versus Operating Related Budgets
Technology Spending versus Operating Budgets provides an overall indication of whether the technology systems and IT support function receive a sufficient level of organizational resources to provide the necessary services. Over time, underfunding typically reduces the IT spond to requests, reduces system availability, and negatively impacts organization-wide productivity.

Technology expenditures approximated $875,294 $766,026, and $1,223,232, respectively. The municipal spending benchmark in the survey ranges between 1% and 8%. Survey results have an average technology expenditure of 3.98%. The historical percentage of technology expenditures versus operating-related budgets at Norco have been below municipal industry standards. This can be indicative of an agency that is under-investing in technology and has lower IT staffing levels than peer agencies.

reviews to properly scope the implementation services
to avoid implementing a system that still does not
adequately meet Finance and other department needs.

Centralized Land
and Parcel
Management
Departments are using a variety of systems to maintain
information related to land and parcel management.

A consolidated parcel database, residing in GIS is
recommended to provide basic land management and
address information for City applications.

The plan recommends creating an inventory of existing
parcel data bases and developing a plan to consolidate
those data bases into a single master data base.

Ongoing support for parcel updates should also be
considered.

Electronic Content
Management System
(ECMS)
The City installed DocuShare for document
management (Electronic Content Management). An
internally developed system is used to store many
types of records requiring retention.

DocuShare is currently not integrated with other city
enterprise systems.

The plan recommends consolidating all document
types requiring retention into a new ECMS system.

The City would benefit significantly from integration of the ECMS with other enterprise systems.

Enterprise Asset
Management
Replacement (EAM)
An EAM system comprises a suite of modules in a
software application that manages work orders,
preventative maintenance, and asset management of
City infrastructure, including real property, facilities, streets, sidewalks, parks, trails, bridges, drainage,
culverts, etc.

The existing EAM is full featured and capable of
supporting all interested City departments.

During EAM implementation, Parks and Facilities
received minimal training and vendor support.

Key Parks and Facilities business processes
related to asset management and work orders
continue to be manual.

Public Works is interested in mobility tools to expand
system access in the field.

In Parks and Facilities, many key business processes
related to asset management and work orders continue
to be manual.

The plan recommends identifying EAM system gaps
and development of an improvement plan to:

Close gaps between current and desired
processes.

Utilize as requirements for an EAM implementation
for Parks and Facilities.

Asset management systems are one of the five most
complicated systems at a municipality. The City will
reduce risk by contracting with a subject matter expert to assist in the assessment and business process
reviews.

City Hall Cabling and
Data Center
Improvements
In this summary, we combine two initiatives that we
recommend completing jointly City Hall re-cabling
and data center improvements.

During our site visit, we reviewed cabling and the
primary data center, identifying many deficiencies that can undermine the reliability and supportability of City information technology.

Limited documentation of City Hall cabling is
available. The physical installation is such that
tracing those cables is not possible. Staff currently
resort to trial and error when troubleshooting
cabling issues.

As space requirements increased, the City Hall data
center (where the cabling terminates) grew organically, without an overall plan of where racks should be
placed.

Network equipment is located in several racks, limiting staff s ability to effectively troubleshoot issues.

Limited space is available for additional equipment, or the environmental controls required to make the data
center more resilient.

The plan recommends redesigning the data center to
create space for a logical distribution of equipment,
including new cabling.

The plan further recommends re-cabling City Hall to
eliminate potential issues as the cable ages.

including future Smart City initiatives.

applications will improve application effectiveness.

GIS maps also provide a data visualization for citizens to access services and information.

Implementation of requested departmental
improvements outlined in the recent GIS Assessment
will provide residents and staff with improved geospatial asset information.

The City does not have a staff position primarily
focused on GIS projects and support.

The plan recommends a GIS-specific Assessment and
Strategic Plan to identify all GIS needs and develop a
multi-year plan to address those needs and provide
ongoing support.

Microsoft Office
(SharePoint/Teams)
The critical communication system of email is provided
by a local Microsoft Exchange email server. Microsoft
Exchange is a unique sub-specialty in which staff has
received limited training.

Microsoft 365 is the cloud-based alternative to onpremise email and can also be utilized for video conferencing, chat, file sharing, and other productivity functions.

The plan recommends moving to Microsoft 365 and
eliminate the need to locally support an email system.

We recommend a phased implementation approach
that would include the implementation of Teams
features, followed by SharePoint for file sharing and
collaboration.

Disaster Recovery
Planning
The City Disaster Recovery Plan was written in 2016.

The City does not have a Cybersecurity Incident
Response Plan.

Incident Response Planning can reduce the time
required to respond to a cybersecurity issue, potentially reducing its impact.

We recommend the City develop an Incident Response
Plan as soon as practical.

Disaster Recovery Planning has changed recently due
to the prevalence of cloud-based backup and
restoration services.

Once cloud-based recovery has been tested, the
Disaster Recovery Plan should be modified to reflect
changing technology.

Telephone System
Improvements

During our interviews, several departments stated that

system is a longer-term project.

Business Analysis
and Project
Management Skillset
Needs
The plan outlines business process improvement
needs for the majority of City systems. These
improvements will save staff time and, in many cases,
improve resident services.

The plan also recommends much needed infrastructure
improvements which will be a major focus of current
staff.

Successfully implementing the plan will require
additional business analyst and project management
skills beyond those that are currently available.

There are many manual processes in place that could
be automated without significant investment in
equipment of software.

We believe automation will result in a significant return on investment and improved services.

Summary Plan Budget Analysis
The Technology Assessment budget is not an entirely new set of spending requirements. The plan encapsulates all information technology issues and the needs of all departments in the City. Some initiatives are normally funded by departments themselves, and some may already have capital reserves set aside, while others are part of the normal annual IT budgeting process. These are estimated budgets for each project initiative. All project approvals will follow normal City annual budget request and procurement policies and procedures required by the City.

Conclusion
Moving forward over the next 18 to 24 months, the key areas of focus for information technology include redesigned City Hall data center
and cabling, upgraded data network, an
, and cybersecurity
enhancements.

Also recommended are implementation of
a Technology Governance methodology,
creation of a central parcel data base and
replacement of the ERP and Land
Management systems.

Developing a Cybersecurity Incident Response Plan and updating the Disaster Recovery Plan will also be critical components of a successful Technology Plan implementation.

This report contains ambitious and costly technology objectives for the City. If the City chooses to implement these systems rapidly, organizational change management and strategic oversight with agencies on these
issues during assessment, planning, and implementation. We have found slow and steady progress following best practice methodologies leads to improved likelihood of success, higher quality implementations, and improved staff utilization and data management of new systems.

Cybersecurity Cybersecurity resource demands continue to increase. Developing policies and procedures, expanding the C cybersecurity toolset, and improving resiliency and recoverability are important components of a cybersecurity program that will reduce risk of compromise and improve recoverability.

Application Utilization City departments want to improve their core business processes and fully utilize their applications. The City should work to encourage a sense of application ownership and continuous improvement by the departments. Improved application utilization is the most effective way to increase data availability, staff productivity and improve customer service.

IT Staffing City IT staff have many responsibilities. Expanding business analysis and project management capabilities will provide IT staff with additional skills necessary to assist departments in making business process and application improvements. Defining and recruiting for a Business Systems Analyst position will provide a focal point for business application implementation and improvement at the City.

It is expected that the projects outlined in this report to result in improved productivity and customer service, as well as improved resiliency and sustainability.

Third-party subject-matter experts will be helpful for projects that are high priority, beyond the scope of City skill sets, and/or lacking internal resource availability.

The City should review and update the Plan annually, using an abbreviated version of this assessment and planning methodology. In this way, the plan will be a vehicle to continuously guide the information technology activities of the City. Annual plan updates should be properly represented.

The completed Plan should not be viewed as static, but rather as a dynamic tool to be revised and updated as business conditions and requirements change. If the planning function is not an ongoing process, certain objectives and benefits will not be realized, because the objectives themselves may change as the organization and its environment evolves.

Major benefits that should be realized through the implementation of this Technology Assessment and Plan include:

Increased collaboration and communication on technology projects within the organization understanding, knowledge, and stewardship of
information technology
Clear direction for IT operations and technology projects for the next several years, focused Citywide department consensus and understanding of all technology initiatives and their priorities
A roadmap for the selection, implementation, and improvement of business applications to better serve residents and staff
It is recommended that the City create a Technology Steering Committee to begin work by reviewing the Plan and budget and advising on priorities. Next, assign lead and participatory resources to the top priority technology initiatives, as well as all other high-priority initiatives.

Initiative leaders should report status updates for active initiatives to the Technology Steering Committee as part of each meeting agenda.

Major issues for each initiative should be discussed by the Committee providing general feedback, collaboration, and lessons learned, as many of the initiatives cross departmental boundaries.

In order to improve application utilization, management, and support, it is also recommended a series of training seminars be developed for key department stakeholders and enterprise business application users. This is an effective way to maintain momentum and kick off the tremendous change that is to occur in improving operations and constituent services.

STAFF REPORT
Date: July 6, 2022 Agenda Item:

5.C.

To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
Prepared By: Andy Okoro, City Manager
Department: Administration
SUBJECT:

Strategic Plan Direction #3, Action Plan #1.4: Economic Development Advisory Council RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt the subcommittee's recommendation to disband the existing Economic Development Advisory Council and establish a new City Manager-led economic development working group.

SUMMARY:

At its regular meeting of April 6, 2022, the City Council created a subcommittee to work with City staff to address Strategic Plan Direction #3, Action Plan #1.4 and review the structure, composition, role and responsibilities of the Economic Development Advisory Council. After reviewing the restrictions associated with the current Economic Development Advisory Council format, the internal economic development efforts of comparable municipalities, and Norco's current and future economic development goals and opportunities, the subcommittee recommended that the existing Economic Development Advisory Council be disbanded. The subcommittee recommended that a new City Manager-led economic development working group be established to assist with Norco's economic development efforts.

BACKGROUND:

The City of Norco's Economic Development Advisory Council (EDAC) was created by the City Council in 1990 to help coordinate an ongoing development strategy aimed at increasing sales tax revenues and improving the economic viability of the City. According to City of Norco Resolution 90-39, the purpose of the Economic Development Advisory Council is "to propose, prepare, and adopt recommendations to the City Council for the improvement of the economy within the City of Norco which will result in the creation of new jobs and other benefits to all the residents of the City so as to help make the City of Norco a better place to live and work, while retaining the City's rural lifestyle."

Page 350 of 375 ends

Since the creation of the Economic Development Advisory Council, the commercial development process has become more confidential and numerous changes have been made to the EDAC membership composition. These circumstances have restricted the governmental body from achieving its purpose.

Strategic Plan
On February 16, 2022, the Norco City Council adopted the 2022 Strategic Plan, which is a document that guides City decisions and actions over a multi-year period. The 2022 Strategic Plan consists of five strategic directions that are dedicated to fulfilling the organization's mission statement and preserving Norco's rural lifestyle. Strategic Direction #3, Economic Development and Financial Stability, includes action plans that will assure financial stability by expanding development efforts, diversifying revenue sources and continuing prudent financial management. This strategic direction includes a corresponding action plan to expand economic development efforts (Action Plan #1) and a sub-action plan to determine the role and responsibilities for the Economic Development Advisory Council (Sub-Action Plan #1.4).

Subcommittee Creation
At its regular meeting of April 6, 2022, the City Council created a subcommittee to work with City staff to address Strategic Plan Direction #3, Action Plan #1.4 and review the structure, composition, role and responsibilities of the Economic Development Advisory Council. The subcommittee was comprised of Council Member Aleman, Council Member Hoffman, the current EDAC Chair, the City Manager, the Communications Manager, the Planning Director and the Senior Planner.

Subcommittee Review
The subcommittee reviewed the internal economic development structure of various Riverside County municipalities with comparable sales tax allocation totals, development opportunities and marketability, including the cities of Banning, Beaumont, Cathedral City, Desert Hot Springs, Hemet, Indio, Jurupa Valley, La Quinta, Lake Elsinore, San Jacinto and Wildomar. Of these cities, one city (Beaumont) currently utilizes a public economic development governmental body, and one city (La Quinta) utilizes a private City Manager subcommittee to discuss economic development efforts. The remaining cities did not have a public governmental body dedicated to economic development and solely addressed economic development efforts internally through Economic Development Department staff.

Subcommittee Recommendation
After reviewing the restrictions associated with the current Economic Development Advisory Council format, the internal economic development efforts of comparable municipalities, and Norco's current and future economic development goals and opportunities, the subcommittee recommended that the existing Economic Development Advisory Council be disbanded. The subcommittee recommended that a new City Manager-led economic development working group be established to assist with Norco's economic development efforts.

Role and Responsibilities: The new economic development working group would assist staff in executing the economic development action plans identified in the 2022 Strategic Plan while identifying and vetting revenue-generating businesses that are compatible with and support Norco's unique animal-keeping, rural lifestyle.

Page 351 of 375 ends

Structure: The subcommittee recommended that the working group be overseen by the City Manager. With this structure, meetings would be held privately, as opposed to being held publicly in accordance with the Ralph M. Brown Act. The subcommittee recommended this revised structure so that the membership is able to openly discuss and provide feedback on confidential matters, including conceptual development proposals that are premature for public input.

Composition: The subcommittee recommended that the working group be comprised of six (6) members. The membership would include:
• City Manager
• Council Members (2)
• Planning Commission Member
• Community Members (2)
o Qualifications: Norco residents with valuable expertise in a relevant economic development discipline, such as marketing, hospitality, commercial real estate sales, leasing or development, retail management, or business administration.

Terms: The subcommittee recommended that all members of the working group, excluding the City Manager, be appointed for two-year terms. The subcommittee did not recommend term limits.

Recruitment & Appointment: The subcommittee recommended the following recruitment and appointment procedures:
• City Manager: The City Manager would appoint and/or include appropriate staff to participate in the working group as needed.
• Council Members: The subcommittee did not determine an appointment process for Council Members and is requesting feedback from the City Council. o Option A: The Mayor appoints two Council Members in conjunction with the annual regional board and commission appointments.
o Option B: The City Council as a whole votes to appoint two Council Members, similar to an ad hoc committee.
• Planning Commission Member: The Planning Commission as a whole would appoint a representative every two years. The appointed Planning Commission Member must have at least two years remaining on their term. • Community Members: The City Clerk's Office would conduct recruitment for the two community members. While economic development is a collaborative program amongst Norco's stakeholders, economic development is a staff function overseen by the City Manager, therefore the City Manager would review applications and ultimately appoint the two community members to serve on the working group.

Meeting Schedule: The subcommittee recommended that the working group meet monthly. The City Manager would determine the meeting schedule with input from the membership. The subcommittee recommended that members commit at least two hours per month.

Absence Policy: The subcommittee recommended that the City Manager would review attendance records and has the right to replace community members and/or refer absences to the appointing governmental body (e.g., City Council or Planning Commission) to address absence issues.

Page 352 of 375 ends

Compensation: Currently, the City of Norco offers compensation to commission members appointed by the City Council. The subcommittee did not determine compensation for the City Manager-led working group and is requesting feedback from the City Council.

Conclusion
While the aforementioned recommendations differ from Norco's current format, there is no industry standard for economic development governmental bodies. The subcommittee thoroughly evaluated various options and ultimately determined that this recommendation is an appropriate format for the City of Norco. The subcommittee believes that action should be taken before the City Manager transition takes place so that institutional knowledge can be transferred and utilized to establish an effective structure and process.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact.

STAFF REPORT
Date: July 6, 2022 Agenda Item:

5.D.

To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
Prepared By: Alma Robles, Planning Director
Department: City Council
SUBJECT:

Discussion item on residential Cottage Food Operations (CFOs) and Microenterprise Home Kitchen Operations (MHKOs)
RECOMMENDATION:

Receive and file the information on Cottage Food Operations (CFOs) and Microenterprise Home Kitchen Operations (MHKOs).

SUMMARY:

State law mandates that both CFOs and MHKOs be allowed in residential zones. The Riverside County Department of Environmental Health enforces the heath requirements and issues permits for food handling for CFOs and MHKOs. The City of Norco is responsible for administering any applicable zoning regulations and issuing a business license.

BACKGROUND:

Below is a brief summary of a CFO and an MHKO:

Cottage Food Operation (CFO):
• The Cottage Food Bill, AB1616, allows certain low-risk food products to be prepared and packaged in private home kitchens in California. The Cottage Food Bill, also known as the California Homemade Food Act, was passed in an effort to help Californians recover from the slow economy, promote small scale businesses and create jobs. This type of operation is called a CFO; • Only low-risk food products that are non-potentially hazardous are allowed for a CFO. These types of products do not require refrigeration and are considered safe from rapid bacterial growth that can cause sickness (ref. Exhibit A); • Two Classes:
o Class A: CFOs may engage in a direct sale of cottage food products. A direct sale is a transaction between the CFO operator and the consumer via the phone, internet, or any other digital method and may be fulfilled in

Page 354 of 375 ends

person, via mail delivery, or using any other third-party delivery service.

Direct sales may take place at bake sales, certified farmers’ markets, and/or temporary events.
o Class B: CFOs may engage in direct and indirect sales of cottage food products. An indirect sale is where a consumer purchases a cottage food product made by a cottage food operator at a third-party retailer and may be fulfilled in person, via mail delivery, or using any other third-party delivery service. A retail food facility that holds a valid health permit including markets, restaurants, bakeries, and delis are third-party retailers; • Both Classes must self certify that they comply with the zoning requirements of their jurisdiction;
• There are currently eight County approved CFOs in the City of Norco (Seven Class A and One Class B) and they all have City of Norco Home Occupation Business Licenses;
• The type of license that is issued to facilitate a CFO in the City is a Home Occupation Business License. Existing zoning criteria in Chapter 18.32 - "General Provisions - Home Occupations" of the Norco Municipal Code (NMC) has been applied to CFOs since they do not preclude a CFO from operating in the City (ref.

Exhibit B).

Microenterprise Home Kitchen Operation (MHKO):
• Assembly Bill (AB) 626 effective January 1, 2019 amended the California Health and Safety Code to establish a “Microenterprise Home Kitchen Operation”, as a new type of retail food facility that will allow an individual to operate a restaurant in their private residence;
• Allows the actual serving of meals on the premises;
• Is a food facility that is operated by the resident of a private home. Food can be stored, prepared, and served to customers at the MHKO. Food has to be made, cooked, and served on the same day, with no more than 30 meals per day, or a total of 60 meals per week. Attached is a County handout with more information on operational requirements an MHKO (ref Exhibit C);
• Allows one full-time employee (not including family or household members); • Cites cannot prohibit MHKOs in residential zones (Chapter 18.32 would not be applicable); and
• There are currently no County approved (legal) MHKOs in the City.

In conclusion, CFOs have been operating in the City of Norco via County approval and approval of a City of Norco Home Occupation Business License. Health/food handling related issues will always be referred to the County for compliance. For MHKOs, a business license would need to be issued, however, limitations on the operation would be those outlined by the County.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No Impact, being presented for information and discussion.

RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN:

This item is consistent with Strategic Plan Direction No. 4 - Communication and Stakeholder Experience: Enhance the stakeholder experience, engage the community, and build brand awareness through proactive, effective and consistent communication.

SUBJECT:

First Reading, Ordinance 1083 (City of Norco): A City-Initiated proposal to amend Norco Municipal Code (NMC) Title 18 “Zoning”, to add Chapter 18.70 "Inclusionary Housing Program". Zone Code Amendment 2022-03
RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt Ordinance 1083, First Reading, to amend NMC Title 18 “Zoning”, adding Chapter

18.70 "Inclusionary Housing Program", and schedule the Second Reading on July 20, 2022. Zone Code Amendment 2022-03
SUMMARY:

Continued Public Hearing: The proposed Inclusionary Housing Program would require a certain percentage of units of a proposed residential housing development be affordable, and would allow developers the option of an in-lieu fee to the City rather than providing affordable units as part of their project. While inclusionary housing ordinances are not mandatory under state law, they can provide cities with an effective tool to facilitate and encourage the construction of affordable housing units in the community and help satisfy state mandated affordable unit production requirements under the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA).

BACKGROUND:

The current General Plan contains goals and policies for the orderly growth and development of the City. In many cases, the goals and policies are presented as items for potential future action by the City Council, subject to timing or funding considerations.

Certain zoning practices, while not intentionally exclusionary, have impacted the production of affordable units. To help address this, many cities throughout the United States, including California, have implemented inclusionary housing as a planning tool to encourage the development of affordable units. To facilitate the production of affordable housing, the State has, since 1980, enacted several laws that, in addition to authorizing

Page 362 of 375 ends

cities to adopt inclusionary housing ordinances, have also mandated local jurisdictions to adequately plan and meet the housing needs of all income levels in their communities.

Prior to the dissolution of redevelopment agencies in California, affordable housing was often funded through a set-aside portion of the tax increment that funded redevelopment agency operations. Since the dissolution of redevelopment several years ago, most cities no longer have dedicated source of funding that can be used for the provision of affordable housing. An inclusionary housing ordinance requires residential developers to make available a portion of their units to low-income and moderate-income buyers or renters. Such a policy would utilize the economic gains from rising real estate values to construct affordable housing for lower income families.

The proposed inclusionary housing ordinance would require a certain percentage of units of a proposed residential housing development be affordable, and would allow developers the option of an in-lieu fee to the City rather than providing affordable units as part of their project. While inclusionary housing ordinances are not mandatory under state law, they can provide cities with an effective tool to facilitate and encourage the construction of affordable housing units in the community and help satisfy state mandated affordable unit production requirements under RHNA.

Proposed Ordinance: Based on the review of other cities’ requirements, staff, in consultation with legal counsel, prepared a draft ordinance that incorporates aspects of other similar ordinances that staff believes to be the most effective in achieving the goal of constructing affordable units (refence attached Ordinance ____ for proposed Chapter

18.70). The draft ordinance is intended to be simple as possible, yet still provide the City with the ability to receive fair market in-lieu payments, should a developer choose to not construct affordable housing units as part of a proposed project.

The proposed inclusionary housing ordinance includes the following:
• Requires that 15% of units within a residential projects be affordable. o 9% of all newly constructed dwelling units shall be sold or rented to low income households.
o 6% of all newly constructed dwelling units shall be sold or rented to moderate income households.
• Units can be provided “on site” as part of the proposed development, or at the discretion of the Director, another location within the City. • Developers can choose to pay an in-lieu fee to the City to be used toward the production of future affordable housing units.

The adoption of an inclusionary housing ordinance has certain advantages, including codifying the inclusionary housing requirement in the Norco Municipal Code, provides the City an additional tool in meeting RHNA numbers, and establishes a standard in-lieu fee calculation. The draft ordinance, if adopted, is generally consistent with inclusionary housing ordinances of other cities, and does not discourage developers from proposing new residential development in the community.

Planning Commission: The Planning Commission recommended approval of the Zone Code Amendment 2022-031 to the City Council on a 3-0-1 (Askey) vote on May 11, 2022.

The Planning Commission considered the information noted above in their determination to recommend approval, but expressed concerns on the following:
• The alternative for the in-lieu fees. The Commission was concerned that allowing in-lieu fees creates an "opt-out" situation where the affordable component of a project just gets passed down the line, and recommended that the City Council pay close attention to the provision for in-lieu fees;
• How the in-lieu fees will be used. The Commission was concerned with miss-use of the fees and recommended that the program include detail use of the fees; and • Definition of the Trust Fund in Section 18.70.22. Planning Commission recommended that this section include more details on the definition of the trust fund.

Should the City Council concur with the Planning Commission's concerns and recommendations, staff will work with legal council to modify any corresponding sections.

CEQA: The adoption of the proposed ordinance adding a new Chapter 18.70, Inclusionary Housing Program, to Title 18 of the Norco Municipal Code, is exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as it is not considered a project under Public Resources Code Section 21065 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15378 because this Ordinance will not result in a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. In addition, even if the adoption of the Ordinance was considered a project under CEQA, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), this Ordinance is covered by the common sense exemption providing that CEQA only applies to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment and where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. This Ordinance will require future residential projects in the City to set aside a portion of the proposed units to be constructed for affordable housing or pay an in-lieu fee. It does not require additional units to be built. Future residential projects in the City will undergo appropriate CEQA review.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact
RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN:

Adopting the Zone Code Amendment is consistent with Strategic Direction #3 - Economic Development and Financial Stability: Assure financial stability by expanding development efforts, diversifying revenue sources and continuing prudent financial management.

WHEREAS, the Planning Commission considered the proposed ordinance adding Chapter 18.70 to Title 18 of the Norco City Municipal Code at a noticed public hearing on May 11, 2022 and adopted Resolution 2022-13 recommending City Council approval; and
WHEREAS, the Zone Code Amendment was duly submitted to said City’s City Council for decision at a public hearing for which proper notice was given; and WHEREAS, the Zone Code Amendment was scheduled for public hearing on June 15, 2022 on or about 7 p.m., and continued to July 6, 2022, in the Council Chambers at 2820 Clark Avenue, Norco, California 92860; and
WHEREAS, at the time set, the City Council held a public hearing and received both oral and written testimony pertaining to the Zone Code Amendment.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NORCO,
CALIFORNIA, does hereby ordain, determine, and order as follows:

A. The adoption of the proposed ordinance adding a new Chapter 18.70, Inclusionary Housing Program, to Title 18 of the Norco Municipal Code, is exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as it is not considered a project under Public Resources Code Section 21065 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15378 because this Ordinance will not result in a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. In addition, even if the adoption of the Ordinance was considered a project under CEQA, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), this Ordinance is covered by the common sense exemption providing that CEQA only applies to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment and where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA; and
B. The provision of safe and stable housing for households at all income levels is essential for the public welfare of the City. Housing in the City of Norco, both rental and for sale housing, has become steadily more expensive and housing costs have gone up faster than incomes. Federal and State government programs do not provide enough affordable housing to satisfy the needs of very low, low, or moderate-income households. As a result, there is a severe shortage of adequate affordable housing for very low, low, and moderate-income households, as evidenced by the findings in the City’s 2021-2029 Housing Element; and C. The City wishes to encourage the production of additional housing units, including affordable units, through redevelopment of areas already developed with housing by private interests; and
