Date: May 15, 2024 Agenda Item:

3.C.

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

Ratification of Fiscal Year 2024-25 Western Riverside County Regional Wastewater Authority Budget
RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt Resolution No. 2024-33, approving the Fiscal Year 2024-25 Western Riverside County Regional Wastewater Authority Budget, establishing rates to be charged for conveyance, treatment and disposal of wastewater.

SUMMARY:

The City of Norco is a member agency of the Western Riverside County Regional Wastewater Authority (WRCRWA). Each member agency is required to present the adopted fiscal year budget document to their governing body for ratification. The budget details are attached for review and it is appropriate for the City Council to ratify the document.

BACKGROUND:

Attached is a copy of the WRCRWA Fiscal Year 2024-25 Operating and Capital Improvement Budget, establishing rates and charges effective July 1, 2024. The Budget document was approved by the WRCRWA Board at their April 25, 2024 meeting.

The budget data was first reviewed by the Executive Committee with a unanimous recommendation for approval by the Board of Directors. In the proposed Fiscal Year 2024-25 Budget, Member Agency contributions will increase in aggregate by $1,866,014, or 5.6%. The Operating Budget will increase by $792,024, or 6.5%; the Debt Service Budget remains the same, and the Capital Budget will increase by $1,073,990, or 19.1% mainly because of increased asset replacement reserve funding and pay-go capital cost funding. Specifically for Norco, the Fiscal Year 2024-25 Operating Budget will increase by $95,932, or 7.1%; the Debt Service Budget will remain unchanged, and the Capital Budget will increase by $236,364, or 21.1%.

Page 19 of 495 ends

Compared to Fiscal Year 2024-25 rates, the fixed charge component per million gallons a day treated (MGD) per month is increasing $4,636 from $36,736 to $41,372 or 12.6% and the variable charge per million gallons is decreasing $69 from $1,876 to $1,807 or -

3.7%. This data is described in more detail in the FY 2024-25 WRCRWA budget document. The budget document describes the wastewater treatment capacity and conveyance system costs as well as the member agency bond debt and Capital Improvement responsibilities. The City of Norco will contribute $1,354,995 to the Capital Improvement component during Fiscal Year 2024-25 if the proposed projects are constructed.

Upon the Council's favorable consideration and approval of the WRCRWA Fiscal Year 2024-25 budget, staff will provide the Authority with a copy of the Resolution and a minute excerpt of Council's action to satisfy the ratification requirement.

FISCAL IMPACT:

City staff has included the cost for treatment and collection as well as outstanding debt service requirements in the City's Fiscal Year 2024-25 Sewer Operations Budget.

Capital Improvements outlined in the WRCRWA budget have also been included in the City's Fiscal Year 2024-25 Sewer Capital Improvement Fund Budget. For the City of Norco, the overall net change in the year to year budget will be a increase of $272,450 or 6.9%.

RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN:

Ratification of the WRCRWA budget is consistent with Strategic Plan Goal No. 5 - Infrastructure and Asset Management: Ensure timely preservation, replacement, improvement and acquisition of infrastructure and capital assets.

Capital Project No. 1: Solar Dryer Discharge Conveyor
Allocation Treatment
Estimated Total Cost: $1,792,000
Budget Carryover from Fiscal Year 2023-2024 $1,292,000
Summary
The Solar Dryer Conveyor project consists of the replacement of four conveyors at the “dry end” of the Solar Dryer and modifying the discharge chute. These conveyors transfer the processed sludge from the solar drier into the sludge loadout building where they are discharged into semitrailers for offsite disposal.

Justification
This system is a single point of potential failure and needs to be fortified. During times of wetter solids, the current system conveys the wet solids to the end without much drying.

Background
The project consists of replacement of four conveyors at the “dry end” of the Solar Dryer. The conveyors on the “dry end” of the dryer that feed the truck loadout facility were sized for dryer solids. The solar dryer feed conveyors have sufficient capacity (provided the sludge is fairly dry, >50%). However, if dewatering equipment produces wetter solids, if a solar dryer bay is offline, or in periods of colder weather, wet solids could be conveyed from the wet end to the dry end without much drying occurring. Due to this potential, these conveyors should be replaced to allow for similar capacities as the “wet” feed conveyors. Also, the discharge chute at the end of the solar dryer needs to be modified to prevent solids bridging at times of the year.

It is recommended that with the replacement of the conveyance system, the chute should be modified to be wider and reduce the potential for “bridging” of solids above the conveyor.

Additionally, it is recommended to have spare motors and parts to keep this system running.

Schedule
Projected completion date for this project is by the end of Fiscal Year 2024-2025.

Estimated Total Cost: $1,000,000
Budget Carryover from Fiscal Year 2023-2024 $214,000
Summary
Design, purchase, and installation of a standalone diesel bypass pump at the SRPS.

Justification
Currently there is no back up power at the SRPS. By design, in the event of a power outage, the wet well fills and if power is not restored quickly, raw sewage overflows into the Inland Empire Brine Line (Brine Line). Numerous improvements and upgrades have been implemented at the SRPS and WRCRWA Treatment Plant since 2016 to increase the overall system redundancy and reliability. The goal of the improvements/upgrades are to prevent future sewage overflow into the Brine Line located adjacent to the SRPS. Installation of a standalone diesel bypass pump will provide additional redundancy and reliability to the sewage collection system. The pump will also allow WRCRWA to maintain independent hydraulic control in the event of mechanical and/or electrical equipment failures at SRPS allowing the SRPS to continue to pump flows to the WRCRWA Treatment Plant rather than discharging them to the Brine Line.

Background
The SRPS serves the City of Riverside, Home Gardens, City of Norco, and City of Corona by pumping wastewater from these cities just over three miles to the WRCRWA Treatment Plant.

Average daily pumping flow is 3 MGD.

Orange County Sanitation recently objected to un-planned and unnoticed sewage flows in the Brine Line and added a requirement to the Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority’s (SAWPA) discharge permit that required development of a plan to incorporate robust redundancies to prevent discharges to the Brine Line. Installation of the standalone diesel bypass pump will comply with this requirement should it be added to WRCRWA’s permit from SAWPA.

The WRCRWA Treatment Plant was designed to rely on the Brine Line and ultimately Orange County Sanitation District as a back-up if there were problems that WRCRWA’s system could not handle. This option provides for redundancy against failure not only due to electrical but also due to mechanical issues. It also provides an added advantage over the generator only option that was considered last year as it is a more efficient option.

Schedule
The project has been selected to receive a Cal OES Hazard Mitigation Assistance grant. Orange County Sanitation District and SAWPA have acknowledged the proposed plan. Work is slated to begin in late spring/early summer 2023 with completion expected in Fall 2025.

Capital Project No. 3: Processed Non-potable Water Pump Improvements Allocation: Treatment
Estimated Total Cost: $337,000
Budget Carryover from Fiscal Year 2023-2024 $337,000
Summary
Replacement of processed non-potable water pumps and suction piping at the WRCRWA Treatment Plant.

Justification
Pumps for the processed non-potable water system have experienced degradation. The condition of the existing screen on the suction piping is unknown but based on material being in the pipe it appears the screen is not functional or the DIP pipe lining is falling apart and this is the material that is ending up in the pump. The suction pipe condition needs to be verified. Once the suction pipe condition is verified and resolved, new pumps should be purchased to replace the damaged units.

Background
It is speculated the degradation could be from a low suction head or even potentially chlorination being too high. The local representative for Grundfos visited the site and has been provided information regarding the installation and access to the existing pumps. Upon review of the pumps, it was noted that there is debris in the pumps and also in the suction piping. It is believed that this debris has caused the issues to the pumps by damaging the pump vanes.

Schedule
Projected completion date for this project is by the end of Fiscal Year 2024-2025.

Capital Project No. 4: Digester Rehabilitation
Allocation: Treatment
Estimated Total Cost: $1,800,000
Budget Carryover from Fiscal Year 2023-2024 $0
Summary
Cleaning, inspection, and repair of any damaged or degraded coatings.

Justification
With both Digesters #1 and #2 having flat bottoms (prone to solids accumulation) and being in service for seven years, are now due to be taken offline (one at a time) for cleaning, inspection, and repair of any degraded or damaged coatings. Cleaning of Digesters #1 and #2 had been contingent on Digester #3 being built and brought online.

Background
Digesters #1 and #2 were converted from aerobic digesters to anaerobic digesters during the plant expansion. They were placed in-service as anaerobic digesters in early 2017. Over the past seven years, they have been continuously fed both primary sludge and thickened waste activated sludge (TWAS), which contains debris not broken down in the digestion process or removed during daily dewatering activities (grit and debris). This debris reduces the overall biological capacity of each digester as well as settled debris eventually negatively impact equipment operation. During recent months, the centrifuges have experienced several failures.

Staff surmise the failures resulted from settled debris being sucked into the centrifuges as the centrifuge feed line is located 18” off the digester floor. For overall digester health and protection of downstream equipment, both digesters #1 and #2 should be taken offline (one at a time for cleaning, inspection, and repair of anything discovered.

During Fiscal Year 2024-2025 staff are requesting $900,000 for Digester #1 cleaning. In Fiscal Year 2025-2026, there will be another $900,000 needed for Digester #2.

Schedule
This project is planned to kick off in September 2024. This project will span two fiscal years and should conclude in Fiscal Year 2025-2026.

Capital Project No. 5 & 6: Diffuser Grid Addition/Modification (Including Modeling) Allocation: Treatment
Estimated Total Cost: $1,606,000
Budget Carryover from Fiscal Year 2023-2024 $0
Summary
Improve the performance of Bio-reactor #1 by adding additional aeration capacity (Diffuser Grids).

Justification
Bio-reactor #1 has limited aeration capacity which can be overwhelmed during higher flows. By adding additional aeration capacity in other areas of the bio-reactor, WRCRWA will have increased treatment capacity and better redundancy. This increased aeration capacity will help stabilize treatment and reduce the likelihood of ammonia “bleed-through”.

Background
Currently air diffusers are installed in 2 of the four passes with the aerator in the middle of these passes. This leaves 50% of the aerobic portion of the bioreactor. At times the plant experiences ammonia break through to the tertiary filters, which is believed to be associated with the short aerobic HRT and SRT. Again, this occurs because only 50% of the aerobic section of the bioreactor is under aeration.

Initially, it is proposed to add additional diffuser grids to BR1. Fourteen (14) additional grids could be added. Nine (9) would be placed in pass 2, all to the south of the existing walkway and then five (5) would be placed in pass 1. Two (2) would be placed to the north of the walkway and the remaining three (3) would be placed south of the walkway. An additional pipe header will be added to extend to passes 1 and 2 and provide air to the diffusers. Walkways will be added to provide access to the new diffuser grids in these passes. Modeling is needed to verify the proposed approach.

During Fiscal Year 2024-2025 the ask is for $135,000.

Schedule
This project is planned to kick off in September 2024. The first set of tasks would be modeling of the proposed changes and design, with installation in the subsequent year. This project will span two fiscal years and should conclude in Fiscal Year 2025-2026.

Capital Project No. 7: Blower Building Air Intake/Ventilation Modifications Allocation: Treatment
Estimated Total Cost: $371,000
Budget Carryover from Fiscal Year 2023-2024 $0
Summary
Improve air exchanges in the blower building for blower operations.

Justification
The current blower building has limited ventilation filtration and no temperature controls.

During summer months blowers fail due to increase heat. To mitigate the heat, doors and windows are opened (to reduce heat), but dust is then introduced resulting in bearing failures.

Both heat and dust are to be addressed through this project.

Background
The blower building currently has no forced ventilation. As such, air is pulled into the room via the suction of the blowers that are in operation. The blower room has louvers with filters, but during warmer temperature periods, the room gets too hot for blower operation. To resolve this issue, the garage door is opened to cool the room. Opening this door, however, causes dust to enter the room which is causing operation issues with the blowers. It is recommended that a climate control system be installed to keep temperatures and dust in an acceptable range for blower operation.

This can be accomplished with a twofold approach as follows:

1. A combined intake plenum system should be incorporated to provide direct air feed to each of the blowers. This will be done by adding a plenum intake structure to the north of the building, including inlet filters. All blower intake air will pass through this structure and then ducting will be provided into the room to direct pre-filtered air to each of the blowers.

2. With the intake blower air separated from the room ventilation, either a cooling system using air conditioning or evaporative cooling can be used for the air in the room.

Thus, the blowers will have sufficient filtered air flow to each unit and the room will be cooled sufficiently to keep the electronics and motors cool enough to allow for normal and consistent operations.

Schedule
This project is planned to kick off in July 2024. It will run in concert with the Blower replacement project as they are interconnected.

Budget Carryover from Fiscal Year 2023-2024 $0
Summary
Replace three turbo blowers associated with the activated sludge process.

Justification
Over the past few years, WRCRWA has experienced failures of the existing HIS Turbo Blowers.

During the most recent failure we were made aware that HSI equipment is no longer supported, and replacement parts are non-existent.

Background
WRCRWA is currently equipped with five turbo blowers that support the aerobic biological process. These five blowers vary in age and manufacturer. In 2012 (or so), WRCRWA supplemented its aeration capacity within the oxidation ditch by adding diffuser grids and three turbo blowers. Those original three turbo blowers were manufactured by Houston Service Industries (HSI). HSI was subsequently purchased by Atlas Copco. During the 2017 plant expansion and addition of another biological reactor, two more turbo blowers were installed.

These two “newer” turbo blowers were manufactured by APG-Neuros.

Over the past few years, WRCRWA has experienced failures of the HSI blowers (typically related to the air bearings and dust). In 2023, HSI blower #2 experienced an electrical component failure and subsequent mechanical failure. Through this failure and attempted repair, Atlas Copco has notified WRCRWA that the HSI product line is no longer supported and that replacement parts are non-existent. Atlas Copco manufactures a similar product and as they replace existing HSI blowers, those used units and being scavenged for parts to make repairs on other HSI blowers.

WRCRWA is now faced with needing to replace the three HSI blowers (before failure) to ensure availability of adequate air in support of the biological processes. It is in WRCRWA’s best interest to investigate all blower technologies to ensure integration with the remaining two APG-Neuros blowers along with efficiency and ultimate biological air demands.

Fiscal Year 2024-2025 Budget
Capital Project No. 9: Electrical Load Study
Allocation: Treatment
Estimated Total Cost: $40,000
Budget Carryover from Fiscal Year 2023-2024 $0
Summary
Conduct a 12-month electrical load study to better understand capacity within the existing low voltage gear.

Justification
Before proceeding with upgrades throughout the treatment plant (blower and dewatering upgrades), it is critical to understand the existing capacities and limitations of the existing electrical equipment.

Background
This existing gear is at or near capacity, however a 12-month load study could be performed to determine if some additional capacity is available. Otherwise, to gain additional capacity, additional MCC line-ups would be required and would have to be fed directly from the medium voltage switchgear.

Schedule
This project is planned to kick off in July 2024.

Capital Project No. 10: Medium Voltage Switchgear
Allocation: Treatment
Estimated Total Cost: $3,138,000
Budget Carryover from Fiscal Year 2023-2024 $0
Summary
Replace the medium voltage switchgear and place it in the existing electrical building.

Justification
The existing outdoor medium voltage switchgear is 26 years old and is becoming obsolete. It is due for replacement and should be relocated inside the newly built Electrical Building to provide a better environment conducive to such equipment.

Background
Due to the age of the gear and it being installed outdoors, it is recommended that this equipment be replaced to ensure it can be maintained and operated properly in the foreseeable future. A new electrical building has been constructed and the low voltage switchgear was moved into this building. There is room for a new medium voltage switchgear to be installed in this building also.

Depending on the outcome of the blower investigation, dewatering replacement study and low voltage load study, the medium voltage system might be impacted. The request would be for $190,000 during Fiscal Year 2024-2025 with replacement being in Fiscal Year 2026-2027.

Depending on outcome of all studies, this could remain in Fiscal Year 2026-2027 or might need to shift into Fiscal Year 2025-2026.

Capital Project No. 11: Dewatering Equipment Replacement Allocation: Treatment
Estimated Total Cost: $4,378,000
Budget Carryover from Fiscal Year 2023-2024 $0
Summary
Replace the three existing Andritz centrifuges.

Justification
Dewatering sludge is a critical component of biosolids management. Over the past few years, the Centrifuges at WRCRWA have experienced numerous failures resulting in decreased operating cycles. Limited dewatering capacity jeopardizes the treatment plant’s ability to maintain regulatory compliance.

Background
During the later stages of the plant expansion design, it was surfaced that the original centrifuges were outdated and no longer serviceable. The design team sought replacement equipment that would meet the needs of the facility while also fitting within the existing footprint of the original equipment. Andritz centrifuges were selected and installed during the plant expansion.

While the existing Andritz centrifuges have met the needs of the facility, they are being pushed to their limits. The centrifuges are being ran at the far end of their speed rating to achieve decent % solids concentration while maintaining desirable centrate quality. The units are being stressed resulting in reduced component life and increasingly sever failures.

With the units suffering a higher rate of mechanical breakdown, very rarely do we have three units available. This has resulted in increased run times for the other two units available. An investigation of best available technologies and based on current WRCRWA sludge conditions, staff recommend replacing the existing centrifuges to gain greater operational redundancy and productivity.

During Fiscal Year 2024-2025 the ask is for $315,000.

Schedule
This project is planned to kick off in July 2024.

SUBJECT:

Approve Licensing Agreement with Saddle Sore Saloon for the use of the Parking Lot at California Avenue and Sixth Street
RECOMMENDATION:

Approve Licensing Agreement with Saddle Sore Saloon for the use of the parking lot at California Avenue and Sixth Street.

SUMMARY:

The parking lot at California Avenue and Sixth Street is located across the street from Saddle Sore Saloon. Over the years, the lot sat vacant and many patrons of the Saloon used the lot for parking. Since the purchase of the property by the City, the Saloon has had limited parking. Saddle Sore Saloon is requesting to first utilize this lot for a probationary period. Once the probationary period has concluded in November 2024, both parties may extend this agreement on a long-term basis.

BACKGROUND:

The vacant lot at California Avenue and Sixth Street was purchased by the City of Norco in 2022 as an overflow lot for the Ingalls Event Center. Since that time, the City has made improvements to the lot that included tree removal, fencing, and minor grading to level the lot. While the lot is predominantly used by the Ingalls Event Center, Saddle Sore Saloon located at 343 Sixth Street has rented the lot on several occasions as an overflow lot for their customers. Saddle Sore Saloon has requested to rent the lot on a long-term basis with the condition that the City would have priority access for the Ingalls Event Center and during community events.

Events at Ingalls would not be impacted, and the lot can still be rented for large events at any time. The lot will still be used for Horseweek, Day of the Cowboy, PRCA Rodeo,

Page 70 of 495 ends

Norco Fair, and the Parade of Lights. The lot has not been rented this past year by any other establishments in the area and this would be a way to generate additional revenue for the Ingalls Event Center.

The License Agreement shown in Exhibit "A" has been drafted by the City Attorney and staff with the following terms:
 Probationary 6-Month period from May 1, 2024 – November 1, 2024, with an option to extend the term for three (3) years based on City Council approval. An annual review of the terms and conditions of the License will be conducted in May of each year.
 The Lot may be used for additional parking by the Licensee on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays from 4 p.m. to 12 a.m. The Licensor shall have priority access and use of the Lot at any time. If the Licensor needs access to the Lot during the Licensee’s scheduled usage days, the Licensor shall provide notice within 24 hours of the event to the Licensee.
 Users of the lot shall access the lot through the vehicle gate on California Avenue for ingress/egress of vehicles. The pedestrian gate at the corner of Sixth Street and California Avenue will be utilized by patrons to access traffic signal to cross to the Saddle Sore Saloon. The vehicle gate on Sixth Street will remain closed.  The Licensee shall enforce and ensure that patrons of the Saddle Sore Saloon are crossing at the intersection of Sixth Street and California Avenue; no midblock crossing will be allowed. Patrons and pedestrians shall utilize and follow all traffic control devices at the intersection of Sixth Street and California Avenue.  The Licensee shall be responsible for the cleanup of the lot. All trash and debris shall be removed from the lot on a weekly basis. The Licensor shall open the lot for use by the Licensee on the above-mentioned days. Overnight parking in the lot is prohibited, unless an extraneous circumstance occurs.  Alcohol is strictly prohibited in the lot. No person shall consume any alcoholic beverage or have upon their person or in their personal possession any open container of any alcoholic beverage in the lot.
 Licensee agrees to pay $1,000 per month for the use of the lot, along with any direct costs associated with the use of the lot. Payment shall be made to the City of Norco on or before the 1st of every month.
 An annual escalator of 4% will be added to the monthly fee starting May 1 of each year.

It is recommended that the City Council approve the use of the lot to Saddle Sore Saloon on the above mentioned probationary period. If both parties wish to extend the agreement after November 1, 2024, staff will bring back the licensing agreement to the Council for further consideration and approval.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The estimated revenues from the overflow parking lot will generate $12,000 annually with a 4% increase in May of each year to the General Fund (121.000.56400).

SUBJECT:

Approve Additional Design Services with Plump Engineering for the City Hall Lobby Project
RECOMMENDATION:

Approve Additional Design Services with Plump Engineering for the City Hall Lobby Project in the amount of $17,800.

SUMMARY:

The City Hall Security and Lobby Project consists of the installation of security measures for the front entrance of City Hall along with the entrance to the Community Services Department. The project includes bar height counters along with privacy glass, full length doors, additional doors, and ADA accessible countertops to meet federal requirements. As this project nears its second plan check phase, additional design services are needed to complete the plan review process.

BACKGROUND:

On July 18, 2023, a professional services contract was approved with Plump Engineering, Inc. in the amount of $48,200, under the City Manager's signing authority.

Shortly thereafter, staff along with Plump Engineering started work on the security upgrades and design for the City Hall Lobby Project. The scope of work for the project included:
 Architectural, structural, electrical, mechanical engineering and construction documents for the renovation of existing lobby area to provide a security barrier for City staff with accessible secure entries and egress solutions.  Develop a new layout that is code compliant and meets the staff's daily work requirements.

Page 80 of 495 ends

 Research and provide security barrier samples.
 Design for the new counter to be ADA compliant and create/develop a security barrier.
 Architectural design and construction documents for site plan, egress plan, ADA access, floor plan, enlarged floor plan, interior elevations/sections, reflected ceiling plan, details, and specifications.

Originally, the design incorporated a ballistic glass enclosure along with floor to ceiling doors. In the process of the conceptual design, staff reached out to various other agencies that had installed full-ballistic glass enclosures. These other agencies noted that they were looking to remove the full-enclosures because they caused communication barriers between staff and residents. In addition, other agencies noted that the glass became unsanitary at times and caused a social disconnect in which agencies were not able to provide a personalized experience for their residents.

Staff and Plump Engineering went back to the drawing board and incorporated the help of the Riverside County Sheriffs Office to develop a hybrid version of the glass enclosure to continue to provide a personal experience and a security barrier. In addition, staff incorporated the Community Services counter to this project since it is a public entrance and closely located to the Norco Sheriffs Office at which several security incidents have occurred. Attachment C shows a reference drawing of the new counters (note the signage for Public Works will be corrected).

On January 12, 2024, staff received the plans for the first plan submittal to the Building Division. On February 22, 2024, the plan check comments were received with corrections. The engineers have revised the plans for the project and have incorporated additional engineering services for the the correction notes.

With these above-mentioned changes and the additional plan check comment revisions, it is recommended that the City Council approve the additional design services for the project design completion in the amount of $17,800.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The City Hall Security and Lobby Project was approved as a Capital Improvement Project (CIP) for Fiscal Year 2023-24 in the amount of $490,911. Funds available in account 132.910.43115 and 140.910.43130 for the City Hall Security and Lobby Project, Project No. 4303.1 - 54303.2, are sufficient to fund the additional design portion of the project.

RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN:

This item closely aligns with Strategic Direction No. 5. Infrastructure and Asset Management: Ensure timely preservation, replacement, improvement and acquisition of infrastructure and capital assets.

RE: Request For Proposals For Providing Architectural Design Services - Fire Station 47 HVAC Replacement Project
Dear Selection Committee,
Norco Fire Station 47, a crucial hub for emergency response in the City of Norco, is in urgent need of a replacement HVAC system. With the current system reaching the end of its serviceable life after 20 years, the station’s ability to maintain optimal conditions for its 24-hour operations is potentially compromised.

2. APPROACH
Initial Assessment and Scope Confirmation
Our project approach begins with a thorough examination of existing equipment and associated visible ductwork. The scope primarily involves equipment replacement, aiming for like-for-like replacements unless issues such as thermal imbalances necessitate adjustments in ductwork or thermostat locations. Anticipating minimal structural modifications due to the building, the new units will be selected with weights as close to the existing weights as possible. Any revisions will be coordinated with our team’s structural engineer, T & B Engineering to ensure compatibility.

Equipment Verification and Selection
We initiate this stage with a site visit to confirm existing equipment details, including model numbers. If required, we will propose new units from Carrier, potentially exploring heat pump versions for decarbonization efforts, while carefully considering weight and structural implications. Coordination with electrical will ensure proper power supply and potential replacement of disconnects, along with confirming service outlets’ presence within 25 feet of equipment as per code.

PROJECT EXAMPLES
Niland Public Safety Building
Riverside County Fire Station Expansions
Essential services are the backbone
of every area, and with how sparse
Imperial County is, the county realized
that their current locations weren’t
cutting it when it came to response
time. This spawned the need for
Niland Public Safety Building. To
facilitate the construction and design

STAFF REPORT
Date: May 15, 2024 Agenda Item:

3.G.

To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Amanda Hamilton, Facilities and Maintenance
Director
Prepared By: Amanda Hamilton, Facilities and Maintenance Director
Department: Facilities and Maintenance
SUBJECT:

Order of Procedure and Approve Resolutions Necessary for the Annual Assessment Levy Continuing Landscape Maintenance Districts No. 1 – Beazer, Tract 28765; No. 2 – Western Pacific, Tract 25779; No. 3 – Centex, Tract 28826; No. 4 – Norco Ridge Ranch, Tracts 29588 and 29589; and No. 5 – Hawk’s Crest, Tract 30230 RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt the following Resolutions approving the Preliminary Engineer’s Reports and the additional Resolutions providing for an Annual Levy of Assessments and setting the Public Hearing date for June 5, 2024, for each District.

Resolution No. 2024-23, LMD No. 1 (Beazer); Resolution No. 2024-24, LMD No. 2 (Western Pacific); Resolution No. 2024-25, LMD No. 3 (Centex); Resolution No. 2024-26, LMD No. 4 (Norco Ridge Ranch); Resolution No. 2024-27, LMD No. 5 (Hawk’s Crest), approving the Engineer’s Preliminary Report for the Annual Levy of Assessments for the Fiscal Year 2024-2025 in said Districts; Resolution No. 2024-28, LMD No. 1 (Beazer); Resolution No. 2024-29, LMD No. 2 (Western Pacific); Resolution No. 2024-30, LMD No. 3 (Centex); Resolution No. 2024-31, LMD No. 4 (Norco Ridge Ranch); Resolution No. 2024-32, LMD No. 5 (Hawk’s Crest), Declaring City’s Intention to Provide for an Annual Levy and Collection of Assessments for Certain Maintenance in an Existing District, and Setting a Time and Place for the Public Hearing.

SUMMARY:

As stipulated in the “Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972,” the continuation of an existing maintenance district assessment has to be reviewed and approved each fiscal year. The attached resolutions provide for the proper continuation of the Districts as well as the assessments. The proposed 5% increase in Landscape Maintenance District 1 and the CPI increases in Landscape Maintenance Districts No. 2-5 will not require a

Page 145 of 495 ends

majority protest vote of the property owners since the increase in assessments was allowed for in the formation of the Districts.

BACKGROUND:

The “Landscaping and Lighting Act" of 1972 requires that an Engineer’s Report for existing landscape maintenance districts (LMDs) must be reviewed and approved annually to continue assessments for the districts. The formation of LMD No. 1 allows the Maximum Assessment Rate to increase by 5% annually. The Maximum Assessment Rates for the remaining four districts increase annually by the percentage increase of the Local Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) for the Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario California Area for All Urban Consumers from March to March. The Annual CPI increase for March 2024 is 4.26%.

Each district will only assess the amount necessary to cover the costs in that district, so levying at the Maximum Assessment Rate may or may not be required during any fiscal year. The tables below show both the current year and the prior year Maximum Assessment Rate, as well as the rate that will be applied for the current fiscal year. At no time, will any district be assessed an amount greater than the Maximum Assessment Rate.

The following information applies to each Landscape Maintenance District as designated:

LMD No. 1 - On February 3, 1999, City Council adopted Landscape Maintenance District No. 1 for Tract 28765 (Beazer Homes) comprised of 67 lots. The District was formed to maintain landscaping along the River Road frontage of the tract.

LMD No. 2 - On January 27, 2000, the City Council adopted Landscape Maintenance District No. 2 for Tract No. 25799 (Western Pacific) comprised of 219 assessable lots.

The District was formed to maintain landscaping along Norco Hills Road and Hidden Valley Parkway. The District also maintains selected interior slopes, wetlands, equestrian trails, and Norco Hills Park. Due to the failed Proposition 218 Ballot Measure in 2023 to increase funding in this District, the City will be removing the old playground equipment as it is past its useful lifespan. The playground equipment in its current state poses safety risks to residents who use it and is a potential liability for the City. In addition, no future CIP projects will be scheduled due to the lack of reserves. This

Page 146 of 495 ends

District will see cuts in trail maintenance and the removal of the temporary restroom at Norco Hills Park to sustain the District's cash flow and incidental costs.

LMD No. 3 - On June 6, 2001, City Council adopted Landscape Maintenance District No. 3 for Tract 28626 (Centex) comprised of 82 lots. The District was formed to maintain landscaping along Norco Hills Road and certain designated slopes within the District as well as all equestrian trails in the development. Due to the failed Proposition 218 Ballot Measure in 2023 to increase funding in this District, no future CIP projects will be scheduled. This District will see cuts in parkway and trail maintenance to sustain the District's cash flow and incidental costs.

LMD No. 4 – On October 2, 2002, City Council adopted Landscape Maintenance District No. 4 for Tracts 29588 and 29589 (Norco Ridge Ranch) comprised of 557 single-family developed lots, of which 25 lots are receiving only trail maintenance benefits and five other undeveloped lots, for a total of 562 assessable lots. The District was formed to maintain landscaping within certain slopes, irrigated and non-irrigated, fuel modification areas, parkway landscaping, equestrian trails, natural open space, wetlands area, and Ridge Ranch Park.

LMD No. 5 – On January 7, 2004, City Council adopted Landscape District No. 5 for Tract 30230 (Hawks Crest) comprised of 50 lots. The District was formed to maintain certain exterior slopes, parkway landscaping, equestrian trails, two park lots, and Hawks Crest Park.

Below is a summary of the Operating and CIP Reserve fund information for all five Districts:

The Engineer’s Report includes the estimated fund balance for Fiscal Year ending June 30, 2024 and the cash flow funding needs. Each district requires a six-month cash flow reserve to sustain the District from the beginning of the fiscal year (July 1) until the City receives from the County of Riverside, its first assessment payment, six months later. If the City does not have this reserve, the general fund reserves must “carry” the District.

The “estimated unfunded needs” is the difference between the “fund balance” and the “needs.”
Below is a summary of the services provided in each maintenance district:

Page 147 of 495 ends

The observation line item for each District fund the LMD Inspector. The observation line item is broken into percentages based on the size and demand of the District. The breakdown is as follows:

Staff recommends that the members of the City Council approve the Preliminary Engineer’s Report for the continuation of the Landscape Maintenance Districts to guarantee that landscaping within each district will remain attractive and well maintained and set the Public Hearing for the five districts for June 5, 2024.
