On April 17, 2024 the City Council awarded a contract to Riverside Construction Company, Inc. through a Tender Agreement between the City and Surety in the amount of $2,669,917 and authorized the City Manager to approve contract change orders of up to 10 percent of the total bid amount. The final contract amount paid to Riverside Construction Company, Inc. was $2,639,761. Although the final contract amount paid to the contactor is less than the bid award amount the project did encumber additional costs totaling $69,844. This is due to the contact bid price containing a line item of $100,000 that was to be used for any deficient work found during the completion of the project. Given that no deficient work was found this $100,000 is to be returned to the Surety in its entirety. The increase amount paid to the contractor was due to additional asphalt, tree removals and water service relocation quantities.

Riverside Construction Company, Inc. has completed all the work required to the satisfaction of the City Engineer and a Notice of Completion has been prepared for recordation.

SUBJECT:

Approval and Adoption of the Annual Appropriations Limit for the Fiscal Year 2025-26 RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt Resolution No. 2025-36, approving the annual appropriations limit for Fiscal Year 2025-26.

SUMMARY:

The City is required by Article XIII of the State Constitution to adopt an annual appropriations limit which sets the maximum appropriation for the General Fund. Staff is recommending that Council adopt the attached resolution approving $59,039,349 as the appropriations limit for Fiscal Year 2025-26.

BACKGROUND:

Attached is a resolution, as required by State law to approve the appropriations limit for the Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-26 in the amount of $59,039,349. Staff is still going through the budget process in order to establish General Fund’s final appropriation for FY 2025-

26. However, it is important to note that the FY 2025-26 General Fund appropriations will be significantly less than the appropriations limit calculated under State law. The calculated appropriation amount is the maximum amount that the City Council can appropriate from the General Fund for FY 2025-26.

The appropriations limit for FY 2025-26 has been calculated using the change in the City of Norco’s population of -0.63% and the State change in per capita personal income of 6.44% as provided by the State of California Department of Finance.

Attachment A is the FY 2025-26 Appropriations Limit Calculation.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Not applicable for this item.

RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN:

This items is consistent with Strategic Direction No. 3 - Economic Development and Financial Stability: Assure financial stability by expanding development efforts, diversifying revenue sources and continuing prudent financial management.

Dear Fiscal Officer:

Subject: Price Factor and Population Information
Appropriations Limit
California Revenue and Taxation Code Section 2227 requires the Department of Finance to transmit an estimate of the percentage change in population to local governments. Each local jurisdiction must use their percentage change in population factor for January 1, 2025, in conjunction with a change in the cost of living, or price factor, to calculate their appropriations limit for fiscal year 2025-26. Attachment A provides the change in California’s per capita personal income and an example for utilizing the price factor and population percentage change factor to calculate the 2025-26 appropriations limit. Attachment B provides the city and unincorporated county population percentage change along with the population percentage change for counties and their summed incorporated areas. The population percentage change data excludes federal and state institutionalized populations and military populations.

Population Percent Change for Special Districts
Some special districts must establish an annual appropriations limit. California Revenue and Taxation Code Section 2228 provides additional information regarding the appropriations limit.

Article XIII B, Section 9(C) of the California Constitution exempts certain special districts from the appropriations limit calculation mandate. The code section and the California Constitution can be accessed at the following website: http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes.xhtml.

Special districts required by law to calculate their appropriations limit must present the calculation as part of their annual audit. Any questions special districts have on this requirement should be directed to their county, district legal counsel, or the law itself. No state agency reviews the local appropriations limits.

Population Certification
The population certification program applies only to cities and counties. California Revenue and Taxation Code Section 11005.6 mandates Finance to automatically certify any population estimate that exceeds the current certified population with the State Controller’s Office. Finance will certify the higher estimate to the State Controller by June 1, 2025.

Please Note: The prior year’s city population estimates may be revised. The per capita personal income change is based on historical data.

If you have any questions regarding this data, please contact the Demographic Research Unit at (916) 323-4086.

Attachment A
A. Price Factor: Article XIII B specifies that local jurisdictions select their cost of living factor to compute their appropriation limit by a vote of their governing body. The cost of living factor provided here is per capita personal income. If the percentage change in per capita personal income is selected, the percentage change to be used in setting the fiscal year 2025-26 appropriation limit is:

Per Capita Personal Income
Fiscal Year Percentage change
(FY) over prior year
2025-26 6.44
B. Following is an example using sample population change and the change in California per capita personal income as growth factors in computing a 2025-26 appropriation limit.
2025-26:

Per Capita Cost of Living Change = 6.44 percent
Population Change = 0.28 percent
Per Capita Cost of Living converted to a ratio: 6.44 + 100 = 1.0644 100
Population converted to a ratio: 0.28 + 100 = 1.0028
100
Calculation of factor for FY 2025-26: 1.0644 x 1.0028 = 1.0674

STAFF REPORT
Date: June 18, 2025 Agenda Item:

To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Alma Robles, Community Development Director
Prepared By: Lacey David, Senior Permit Tech
Department: City Council
SUBJECT:

Appropriation Amendment for FY 2024-25 Contractual Services Budget for Community Development
RECOMMENDATION:

Appropriate additional funding in the amount of $80,000 for FY 2024-25 for contractual services in Community Development/Building Division.

SUMMARY:

The formal departure of the Building Official in April 2025, and departure of the Building Inspector in May 2025, has resulted in vacancies in Community Development for the position of Building Official, plan check, and inspections services. As a result, staff is requesting approval of additional appropriation of funds needed to provide these services via Willdan (existing contractor) till the end of FY 2024-25.

BACKGROUND:

When staff completed the budget for FY 2024-25, the Building Official and the Building Inspector were noted at full-time and therefore the building contractual services budget was set at only $40,000. This budget was adjusted in November 2024 adding $60,000.

At midyear budget review, there was an adjustment adding an additional $60,000 due to the absence of the Building Official. The additional funding has allowed for part-time Building Official services and plan checking of larger projects via our existing Building Division contractor.

The full-time Building Official formally departed from the City in April 2025 and most recently, the Building Inspector departed in May. This has formally resulted in Building Division vacancies for the provision of Building Official, plan check, and now inspections services.

In order to continue the provision of part-time Building Official, plan checking and now inspection services, additional funding is needed for the remaining FY 2024-25. Staff is recommending that the City Council approve a budget appropriation of $80,000 to Contractual Services (121.752.34100) for the part-time Building Official, plan check review for larger projects (plan checks for smaller projects are done by the Building Official), and a full time Building Inspector for all daily inspections and the Norco Valley Square project.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The budget for contractual services related to the Building and Safety Division will be increased by $80,000 in the Fiscal Year 2024-25 Operating Budget. However, this increase will be offset by the vacancy of the full time Building Official’s salary and benefit savings of $166,124 ($133,679 for salary and $32,445 for benefits). The cost for the Building Inspector services for the remaining FY 2024-25, will be offset by the salary and benefits saving for about 1.5 months in the amount of $7,060.

RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN:

This item is consistent with the Strategic Plan Directions No. 1 - Public Health, Safety and Wellness. Enhance quality of life by promoting's public health, safety and wellness initiatives for all community members.

In the proposed Fiscal Year 2025-26 Budget, Member Agency contributions will increase in aggregate by $3,989,442 or 16.6%. The Operating Budget will increase by $278,450, or 2.2%; the Debt Service Budget remains the same, and the Capital Budget will increase by $3,710,992, or 55.4% mainly because of the increased asset replacement reserve funding and pay-go capital cost funding. Specifically for Norco, the Fiscal Year 2025-26

Operating Budget will increase by $43,410, or 1.7%; the Debt Service Budget will remain unchanged, and the Capital Budget will increase by $742,861 or 54.8%.

Compared to Fiscal Year 2024-25 rates, the fixed charge component per million gallons a day treated (MGD) per month is increasing $3,555 from $41,372 to $44,927 or 8.6% and the variable charge per million gallons is decreasing $12 from $1,807 to $1,795 or

0.66%. This data is described in more detail in the FY 2025-2026 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 $2,097,856 to the Capital

Improvement component during Fiscal Year 2025-26 if the proposed projects are constructed.

Upon the Council's favorable consideration and approval of the WRCRWA Fiscal Year 2025-26 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 2025-26 Sewer Operations Budget.

Capital Improvements outlined in the WRCRWA budget have also been included in the City's Fiscal Year 2025-26 Sewer Capital Improvement Fund Budget. For the City of Norco, the overall net change in the year to year budget will be an increases of $786,271 of 18.4%.

RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN:

Ratification of the WRCRWA budget is consistent with Strategic Direction #5 - Ensure timely preservation, replacement, improvement and acquisition of infrastructure and capital assets.

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 2025-2026. Design contract has been awarded, and design is currently at the 90% phase. Completion of design is anticipated soon and will then be posted on Planet Bids for solicitation of bids for construction.

Once bids are received, we will be back before the Board for contract award.

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 May 2025. It will run in concert with the Blower Replacement project as they are interconnected.

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.

Schedule
This project has kicked off and design proposals have been received from two firms. Staff are currently evaluating the proposals and will be seeking contract award shortly. This project may span two fiscal years depending on equipment considerations and the availability of replacement equipment.

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. Design is anticipated to be complete during Fiscal Year 2025-2026.

Schedule
This project is planned to kick off in July 2025.

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 2025-2026, the ask is for $3,062,500.

Schedule
This project has kicked off and design proposals have been received from two firms. Staff are currently evaluating the proposals and will be seeking contract award shortly. This project may span two fiscal years depending on equipment considerations and the availability of replacement equipment.

Capital Project No. 6: Emergency Generator Replacement
Allocation: Treatment
Estimated Total Cost: $2,740,000
Budget Carryover from Fiscal Year 2024-2025 $0
New Budget Need in Fiscal Year 2025-2026 $1,370,000
Summary
Replace the existing treatment plant emergency generator.

Justification
Generator age as well as various component failures over the 26-year period help drive the need for asset replacement consideration.

Background
WRCRWA is equipped with an emergency stand-by generator to provide power to the plant processes should the need arise. The existing Caterpillar brand stand-by plant generator houses a TIER 2 engine that is 26 years old. PSP, weather, accidental and routine power outages have been a recurring theme at the WRCRWA plant. This uncertainty coupled with asset depreciation accompanies a level of risk for our stand-by power reliance. Generator age as well as various component failures over the 26-year period help drive the need for asset replacement consideration. From a risk and resilience perspective, this unit presents a higher potential for failure. Additionally, the emissions rating is very low when compared to the SCAQMD best available technology today (TIER 4F engines).

During Fiscal Year 2025-2026, the ask is for $1,370,000.

Schedule
This project is planned to kick off in July 2025. In recent discussions with Caterpillar, replacement generators have a lead-time greater than 52 weeks. Our intention is to perform a load study to understand potential future energy demands (associated with dewatering equipment and upsizing of blowers) then solicit proposals for the generator replacement. This project will span two fiscal years based on equipment availability.

Estimated Total Cost: $500,000
Budget Carryover from Fiscal Year 2024-2025 $0
New Budget Need in Fiscal Year 2025-2026 $500,000
Summary
Rehabilitate Primary Clarifier No. 2
Justification
Primary clarifier removes the lighter materials that float to the top such as fats, oil and grease (FOG) as well as heavier materials that sink to the bottom (sludge). FOG and the sludge collected from the primary clarifier are conveyed to the anaerobic digesters for additional stabilization. A primary clarifier is considered the most energy efficient way to remove the biochemical oxygen demand of the wastewater, lessening the energy load on downstream processes such as bioreactors and blower systems. Maintaining the primary clarifiers in well-functioning order would reduce the overall energy footprint of the plant as well as increase the likelihood of maintaining NPDES and AQMD permit compliance.

Background
Primary Clarifier No. 2 is one of two 95-feet diameter primary clarifiers that were constructed in 2017 and has been in service for 8 years. During a routine preventative maintenance inspection after cleaning, the staff discovered a substantial level of corrosion on the sludge collection arms, scum baffle and center supporting ring. A consultant was hired to document the existing condition and to validate staff observations. Staff, along with the consultant, recommend rehabilitating Primary Clarifier No. 2 which consists of repairing/replacing corroded structural members of the sludge collection system, center ring, and scum baffle along with sandblasting and recoating all steel elements.

During the Fiscal Year 2025-2026, the ask is for $500,000.

Capital Project No. 8: InforFSM Implementation – WRCRWA’s Cost Participation Allocation: Treatment

New Budget Need in Fiscal Year 2025-2026 $245,550
Summary
WRCRWA’s allocated share of costs related to the implementation of the financial software Infor Cloud Suite Financials (InforFSM).

Justification
In Fiscal Year 2024, Western Municipal Water District (WMWD), WRCRWA’s administrator, successfully implemented the new financial software, InforFSM, in anticipation of the discontinuation of support for the existing Lawson Version 10 system by its developer in early 2026. Since WRCRWA also uses the same financial software, it is necessary for WRCRWA to share in the implementation cost alongside WMWD.

Background
In June 2019, Western Municipal Water District (WMWD) began the search for a replacement for its financial software due to the upcoming discontinuation of support for Lawson Version 10 after April 2026, along with the cessation of support from Microsoft Server in October 2023. In August 2022, WMWD selected Infor CloudSuite Financials, a subscription-based, multi-tenant software platform, as the new system. The implementation of InforFSM commenced in late 2022 and successfully went live on April 29, 2024.

Since WRCRWA also uses the same financial software platform, it is necessary for WRCRWA to participate in the implementation costs alongside WMWD. The total cost of the InforFSM project implementation is $3,277,045, with WRCRWA’s share amounting to $245,550, or 7.49%, based on the ratio of WRCRWA’s Fiscal Year 2023–2024 operating expense budget compared to that of WMWD.

Schedule
The project has been completed. WMWD is seeking reimbursement from WRCRWA in Fiscal Year 2025-2026.

Budget Carryover from Fiscal Year 2024-2025 $214,000
Additional Budget Need in Fiscal Year 2025-2026 $0
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.

Initially, installation of a standalone diesel bypass pump was considered as it would provide additional redundancy and reliability to the sewage collection system. The pump would 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. However, due to design parameters and FEMA special requirements, the available bypass pump was found to be inadequate, leading to the selection of a permanent generator as the most cost-effective alternative solution.

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.

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 due to electrical issues.

However, after exhaustive analyses, the preliminary design revealed that the previously selected emergency bypass diesel engine pump did not meet the project’s design parameters. As a

Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Budget
result, a permanent generator has been chosen as the most feasible and cost-effective alternative.

Schedule
A grant was awarded on February 3, 2023, from the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program in the amount of up to $938,349 which was initially estimated to cover up to 75 percent of the design, purchase, and installation costs for an emergency bypass diesel engine pump.

A grant application for additional funds to support the emergency generator is in progress.

Additionally, staff are in the process of securing an extension and seeking additional grant funding to address the increasing cost of construction, equipment and material.

The expected completion date for the project was originally in Fall of 2025. However, due to the change of the scope of work, the expected completion date is currently unknown.

New Budget Need in Fiscal Year 2025-2026 $200,000
Summary
Western Riverside County Regional Wastewater Authority (WRCRWA), under the administrative authority of Western Municipal Water District (WMWD), is requesting a field condition assessment of the WRCRWA wastewater treatment sewer conveyance system pipeline segments and manholes from the Arizona flume to the South Regional Pump Station notwithstanding any related siphons or force mains.

Justification
To protect system operations, maintain regulatory compliance related to the Sewer System Management Plan, and to ensure that WRCRWA is capable of forecasting asset failures as well as establishing appropriate asset replacement reserves, WRCRWA will evaluate, and as well as grade, based on field evaluation, the existing asset condition for 6.8 miles of shared sewage trunk line segments and manholes.

Background
As part of the linear asset management program, condition assessments are required to meet compliance requirements, understand current needs and prepare for future costs. This conveyance system has never had formal condition assessment. This bassline information will provide member agencies with a clear understanding of the maintenance system.

Schedule
This project is scheduled for public bidding in June with work to commence in July of 2025.

Anticipated completion is 6 months contingent on associated bids.

3.I.

To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Lisette Free, City Manager
Prepared By: Matt Boudreaux, IT Manager
Department: IT
SUBJECT:

Approval of Five-Year Agreement with Nearmap US, Inc. for Aerial Imagery Services RECOMMENDATION:

Authorize the City Manager to execute a five-year agreement with Nearmap US, Inc. for aerial imagery services in an amount not to exceed $53,635 over the five-year term.

SUMMARY:

Staff recommends renewing the City’s aerial imagery subscription with Nearmap for an additional five-year term (July 2025 - June 2030). Nearmap provides high-resolution, quarterly updated aerial imagery with native GIS integration that supports key operational needs across multiple departments. This renewal ensures continuity of service and avoids costly re-integration efforts that would be required with an alternative provider.

BACKGROUND:

Aerial imagery has become an essential tool across the City, supporting a wide range of departmental functions and data-informed decision-making. From 2003 to 2019, the City acquired imagery through Eagle Aerial, which served basic mapping needs. However, as the City’s GIS capabilities expanded, it became clear that a more flexible and betterintegrated aerial imagery solution was needed to support evolving operational and planning needs.

In 2020, following major upgrades to the City's GIS system, staff conducted a competitive evaluation of aerial imagery solutions. Vendors contacted included the County of Riverside, Eagle Aerial, and Nearmap. Based on capabilities such as quarterly aerial updates, high-resolution offline exports, and native GIS system integration, Nearmap was selected as the preferred provider. The City entered into a five-year agreement with Nearmap covering the period from June 2020 to June 2025.

Since implementation, aerial imagery has been widely adopted by departments including Public Works, Community Development, Facilities Maintenance, Community Services, and Information Technology. It continues to support:
 Emergency Management: Coordination of logistics for large-scale events and emergency responses.
 Community Services and Facilities: Planning and layout of community events, park assets, and facility improvements.
 Engineering and Code Enforcement: Land use comparisons using historical imagery to monitor development, grading, and potential violations.  Planning Division: Analysis of zoning, development applications, and support for long-range planning efforts.

As part of this renewal process, staff evaluated alternative providers. However, transitioning to a new platform would require significant implementation time, reconfiguration of existing systems, staff retraining, and additional use of contracted GIS consultant hours. Continuing with the current platform ensures operational continuity and remains the most efficient and cost-effective option.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The total cost for the five-year aerial imagery agreement is $53,635, which will be paid in five annual installments with a 5% increase each year. This amount accounts for sales tax, not listed on the quote. Due to the imagery being a deliverable file, the City is required to pay sales tax on the SaaS subscription. Each year will be allocated from the Information Technology Fund (135.901.30435.10). Future aerial imagery licensing costs will continue to be included in the IT Fund budget for subsequent fiscal years.

RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN:

This item is consistent with Strategic Direction #5 - Ensure timely preservation, replacement, improvement and acquisition of infrastructure and capital assets, and Action Plan 3 - Implement the actions identified in the IT Assessment and Strategic Plan. IT Master Plan Initiative #43 - GIS Planning and Improvements.

SOLE SOURCE LETTER – NEARMAP US, INC. (NEARMAP)
Dear Matthew Boudreaux,
Nearmap:
• Provides the Clearest High Resolution 2D Imagery – Nearmap captures aerial imagery at high-resolution (Sub 3” GSD) multiple times per year. The images are captured in accordance with the Nearmap coverage map which can be found at https://www.nearmap.com/us/en/current-aerial-maps-coverage. This level of detail provides unparalleled clarity of the real world revealing details obscured by foliage common with other low-resolution satellite imagery providers like Google and other imagery sources found within the ESRI ArcGIS online partner network (the Geographic Information System (GIS) software platform in use in many Nearmap’s customer sites).

All captured imagery produced and all intellectual property rights which exist are owned by Nearmap’s affiliated entities. No other provider in the US marketplace has the authority to grant the rights to or control the intellectual property of captured imagery taken by Nearmap. • Offers the Most Current High Resolution 2D Imagery – Nearmap regularly updates the imagery so that the most current imagery is always available to its customers within weeks of a survey capture. This is unlike other providers of imagery where the date of origin is often unknown or is often older than what is useful. Other imagery providers make imagery available that is typically more than 12 months old and in many cases between two and five years old (due to the cost of capture and time to process). Nearmap’s online hosted solution, MapBrowser, which is internally developed and owned by Nearmap, enables customers to access all vintages of imagery that Nearmap has captured in line with our annual coverage plan, allowing users to view changes over time of the same area of interest.
• Delivers Consistent Resolution in all 2D Imagery Captures – Nearmap captures all of its imagery at a consistent Sub 3” GSD across its entire capture areas. Nearmap’s customers require this for uniformity in analysis of imagery regardless of location. This is especially useful in analytical work that is done for change detection across vintages and surface feature identification whereby a single learning algorithm can be utilized across the entire dataset. • Furnishes High Resolution 2D Imagery via an Annual Service Subscription – Nearmap provides its imagery via a web-based portal, known as MapBrowser, that can be accessed from any device with internet connectivity both locally in customer offices or on-site at any remote facility via smart phones, tablets and laptops. The imagery service can be viewed with a common web browser and integrates seamlessly into ESRI ArcGIS Server and ArcGIS Online. All employees and contractors working on projects will have seamless access to the imagery provided by Nearmap.
• Offers the Best Value on the Market for High Resolution 2D Imagery – Nearmap’s patented capture technology (HyperCamera1, HyperCamera2 and soon to be released HyperCamera3 systems) and processing techniques are unique to Nearmap, and when combined together creates a one-of-a-kind approach to capturing and processing

geospatial imagery. While other imagery providers can match the resolution delivered by Nearmap, they cannot match the combination of resolution, frequency, speed and cost. Nearmap’s customers have the most up-todate imagery delivered within days of capture at the highest resolution and at the best cost. Unlike other providers that require human intervention to edit the imagery for accuracy, Nearmap’s technology systems and platforms automate the process to improve accuracy and remove costs in delivery to reduce costs in capturing and processing location-based content. The innovative and distinctive nature of these methods have been recognized by the US Patent Office through the following patent grants:
(a) Systems and methods of capturing large area images in detail including cascaded cameras and/or calibration features (US 8675068 B2);
(b) Compact multi-resolution aerial camera system (US 9188838 B1); (c) Wide-Area Aerial Camera Systems (9052571);
(d) Wide-Aerial Cameral Systems (9440750);
(e) Compact Multi-Resolution Aerial Camera System (9188838); (f) Wide-Area Aerial Camera Systems (9706117);
(g) Wide-Area Aerial Camera Systems (9461783);
(h) Wide-Area Aerial Camera Systems (9641736);
(i) Wide-Area Aerial Camera Systems (9185290); and
(j) Corridor Capture (9824290).
• Allows Convenient Access of 2D Imagery – Nearmap’s high-resolution oblique camera has the ability to capture ground view angles from four (4) directional perspectives, allowing accurate measurement of an object’s height and width. This custom scanning technique produces overlapping photos that are key to 2D reconstruction, where photos are matched with one another, and generate dense 2D points to form a 2D model. Nearmap has made this 2D content viewable in its unified web browser application (MapBrowser) allowing adoption via a scalable platform and allows seamless integration into ESRI ArcGIS Enterprise and ArcGIS Online. The Nearmap model accelerates the speed of 2D content delivery by enabling customers to download small to medium scale area of interest exports through a self-service feature inside MapBrowser. All employees and contractors working on projects will have seamless access to the imagery provided by Nearmap.

To the best of our knowledge, we are not aware of any providers who captures similar high-resolution aerial imagery with the same frequency of updates as offered by the Nearmap method.

Yours sincerely,

Prepared By: Sam Nelson, Interim Public Works Director
Department: Public Works
SUBJECT:

Reimbursement Agreement between the City of Norco and the Riverside County Flood Control & Water Conservation District for the West Norco Channel Extension Project RECOMMENDATION:

Approve the Reimbursement Agreement with Riverside County Flood Control & Water Conservation District (RCFC & WCD) for design reimbursement for the West Norco Channel Extension Project, subject to approval by the RCFC & WCD; and authorize the Mayor to execute the agreement.

SUMMARY:

The City of Norco Public Works Department has elected to remove the West Norco Channel Extension project from the Capital Improvement program and seek reimbursement from the RCFC & WCD for project design costs encumbered to date.

BACKGROUND:

The West Norco Channel Extension Project included the installation of a new 8'x4' reinforced concrete box within Kips Korner Park, the existing horse trail/drainage easement and commercial property (See Project Exhibit).

During the design process it was determined that the project scope would need to significantly expand resulting in additional storm drain infrastructure upgrades within existing residential lots located in the City of Corona. As a result, City staff and RCFC & WCD discussed the additional project scope and associated challenges and agreed to pause the project and remove it from the City's and RCFC & WCD CIP storm drain program. RCFC & WCD has agreed to compensate the City for all design costs incurred totaling $35,308.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The West Norco Channel Extension Project had a total expenditure amount of $35,308 for design costs. The RCFC & WCD has agreed to compensate the City for the incurred design costs in its entirety.

RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN:

This item is consistent with Strategic Direction #5 – Infrastructure and Asset Management: Ensure timely preservation, replacement, improvement and acquisition of infrastructure and capital assets.

SUBJECT:

Approval of Fiscal Year 2025-26 Senate Bill 1 Project List RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt Resolution No. 2025-35, approving FY 2025-26 Project List to be funded by Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account Revenue created by Senate Bill 1.

SUMMARY:

Senate Bill 1, the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 (Chapter 5, Statutes of 2017), includes accountability and transparency provisions that will ensure the residents of Norco are aware of the projects proposed for funding in the community and which projects have been completed each fiscal year.

BACKGROUND:

Senate Bill 1 (SB1), the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 (Chapter 5, Statutes of 2017), was passed by the Legislature and signed into law by the Governs in April 2017, in order to address the significant multi-modal transportation funding shortfalls statewide. SB1 includes accountability and transparency provisions that will ensure residents are aware of the projects proposed for funding in the community and which projects have been completed each fiscal year. Every city must annually approve a list of all projects proposed to be constructed with funding to be received from the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA), created by SB1. The project list must include a description and the location of each proposed project, a proposed schedule for the project's completion, and the estimate useful life of the improvement.

The project to be funded is the Santa Anita Road Rehabilitation Project which will repave Santa Anita Road. The project should be designed and constructed by June 2026. The construction budget for this project is estimated to be $1,150,000.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The FY 2024-25 estimated fund balance for SB1 is $966,000 and the additional SB1 funds anticipated for FY 2025-26 are $698,633 totaling $1,664,633, available for the project. Therefore, there is sufficient funding available to support the design and construction costs related to proposed SB1 funded Santa Anita Road Rehabilitation project.

RSG QUALIFICATIONS
At RSG, we believe housing is a basic human right and the foundation of a stable and successful community. We are passionate about creating opportunities for residents to live in housing they can afford, helping to provide the necessary platform to nurture and protect quality of life for all residents. RSG understands the critical role that housing and in particular, affordable housing, for all income levels plays. Affordable housing is the key to providing residents with the income to support other needs and stimulate economic development in their communities, allowing children a safe place to return to after school and a greater chance of attaining educational success, and allowing individuals a place to call home and recharge after work. Without an adequate supply of affordable housing, communities are deprived of the opportunity to thrive and issues like homelessness, overcrowding, and economic decline can take hold.

We see our role as technicians, advisors, and extensions of staff to local governments and developers, sharing a common vision of producing and maintaining healthy and affordable housing in communities. As practitioners, we know firsthand that there is no one-size-fits-all solution to the State’s housing crisis and are ready to dig in and help our clients find solutions that work best for them. RSG’s housing clients have included cities, counties, housing successor agencies, housing authorities, and developers. We have experience working in coastal communities, major cities, urban areas, Central Valley agricultural communities, islands, and rural areas from Southern to Northern California. We are adept at brainstorming and developing strategies and programs, implementing and overseeing affordable housing programs and developments, performing complex affordable housing underwriting, identifying gap financing resources, and ensuring compliance with State and Federal guidelines.

We are not only consultants in the field, but leaders in the industry as well. As active policy committee members of the San Diego Housing Federation and the Non-Profit Housing Association of Northern California, we give a voice to the challenges our clients and communities face in the State by influencing legislative initiatives. We collaborate with industry leaders, other consulting firms, and community stakeholders throughout the State to share local success stories, build capacity and broader successes in the State, and remove impediments to communities’ ability to reach housing goals. Like you, we hope to solve the housing crisis in the State and live in communities where all populations are adequately served and housed. We know there is a ton of work to do and here at RSG we are ready to roll-up our sleeves up and get to it!
Creating and Achieving Strategic Planning Goals
Affordable housing can uplift and transform a community not only through elevating residents’ quality of life, but also, increasing diversity, improving neighboring property values, and attracting more businesses and jobs. Understanding community needs and the role strategic planning plays is a key step in advancing the development of affordable housing. RSG evaluates community needs by understanding State and Federal housing goals and requirements, evaluating local housing element goals and RHNA requirements, evaluating

local market opportunities and constraints, assessing local community demand and demographics, and understanding local politics and staffing resources.

RSG fully understands the nuances involved in developing both short- and long-term affordable housing strategies and market studies. We help our clients identify appropriate development programming alternatives, explore policy implementation, and identify available financial and real property resources to help reach goals. We work closely with our clients to formulate precise, accurate, and project-specific solutions and analyses.

Affordable Housing Underwriting and Gap Financing Resources Developing affordable housing is more of an art than a science and each project comes with its own unique issues to ensure that gap financing is secured. We work behind the scenes to help our clients navigate through the complex task of developing affordable housing. RSG advises on crafting appropriate development programs, including funding assistance strategies that balance the developer and community’s interests. Development programming evaluations are performed to identify financially feasible opportunities and examine alternatives that will result in projects having long-term economic viability while fulfilling the community’s development goals and objectives. Based on our long-standing relationships with the State’s community development field, we can identify and facilitate meetings with the affordable housing community to assist in project financing.

RSG has experience with single-family ownership, multifamily rental apartments, and mixeduse development projects that leverage multiple funding sources, including housing asset funds (LMIHAF), State and federal low-income housing tax credits (LIHTC), and other local funding sources, such as HOME, CDBG, PHC, NSP, HOPE VI, MHP, AHP, and inclusionary housing in-lieu fees, as well as other resources. We guide our clients through the financing process to best leverage local public financial assistance.

Real Estate Development Programming and Transaction Structuring Nothing substitutes for knowledge, creativity, and experience when negotiating agreements for affordable housing transactions. In-depth knowledge of applicable laws and regulations, including requirements under the Government Code and other State and federal real estate regulations, coupled with broad experience in preparing development agreements are essential to bringing a project to life. RSG has assisted clients in programming analyses, assembling sites, relocating residents, soliciting developer proposals, and negotiating and drafting disposition agreements. Our staff is well versed in navigating the landscape of real estate in the sphere of affordable housing and we possess the insight and expertise required to help our clients make informed decisions and execute transactions with certainty.

Program Administration
Affordable housing helps to support the physical, mental, and social well-being of residents and therefore, residents often look to their communities for local support to secure, maintain, and provide affordable housing. RSG is well versed in developing and facilitating affordable housing programs, having assisted many communities with establishing rehabilitation loan programs and first-time homebuyer programs. We work with our clients to tailor programs to the specific needs of the community and identify financial resources to fund such programs.

Alma Robles, Planning Director
City of Norco

We monitor and track available funding sources that could be resources to local communities to ensure that we always keep a pulse on the industry. Our team is proficient in working with lenders to ensure homebuyer eligibility and working collaboratively to execute loan documents. Our services span from program design to program implementation. We work closely with our clients to help formulate programs and processes that best fit the overall housing needs of their communities.

State and Federal Regulatory Compliance
We understand that regulatory compliance and reporting is a critical aspect of a local government’s housing responsibilities. Our redevelopment agency roots have positioned our team well to address regulatory compliance and reporting needs. Understanding this work can be burdensome, time-consuming, and complex for some communities, RSG works closely with our clients to ensure that all annual reporting for Housing Successor Agencies, Housing Authorities, and Cities is completed each year. As the State legislature continues to tighten up on local government housing production and compliance with annual reporting and regulatory compliance, it is imperative that reports accurately reflect community progress towards meeting housing goals.

We have hands-on experience in the administration of public agencies’ affordable housing activities for multi-family rental projects and homebuyer assistance programs. RSG ensures that program and project operations are consistent with an applicable bond or other applicable financing provisions, including oversight of a project’s financial status, tenant income recertifications, and affordability requirements, together with annual compliance monitoring and regulatory reporting. We understand the importance of these reporting tools and assist our clients with getting into and maintaining compliance. We strive to have all of our clients audit-ready and off any State “naughty list”! Additional Housing Consulting Services
RSG is highly experienced in providing additional direct and indirect staffing and housing consulting services for the following:
• Down Payment Assistance Programs
• Relocation Assistance and Monitoring
• Major and Minor Housing Rehabilitation Programs
• Preparing Local, County, State, and Federal Reports
• Rental Calculations, Income Limit Verification
RSG has been in the affordable housing arena for over 40 years and intimately understands what it takes to see a project come to fruition and maintain affordability. Aside from our indepth experience in multiple facets of affordable housing, we see providing housing services as an opportunity to embrace, inspire, and create the changes so desperately needed and deserved in communities all across the State. To put it simply, we are passionate about affordable housing!

RSG TEAM
RSG dedicates a Principal to each project assignment and creates a core group of project managers and staff who work on the individual assignments on a consistent basis throughout all stages of the contract engagement. Our staff is focused, committed, and passionate about the work we do. We conduct our engagements around our Core Values and are proud of it.

We pride ourselves on our ability to appropriately allocate our time and resources to ensure that a project is completed on time and within budget.

This engagement will be led by Tara Matthews, Principal-in-Charge. Ms. Matthews would be assisted by RSG staff member Rosa Romero, Senior Associate, and Jessica Cross, Associate.

Additional RSG staff may be assigned as needed.

SCOPE OF SERVICES
The need for affordable housing is greater than ever. It is a topic that is repeatedly discussed in news articles and talk shows. In addition to assisting residents, affordable housing is essential to the growth of the local economy as employers need to attract and retain employees who can afford to live nearby. And yet, the ability to fund and create affordable housing is harder than ever. The dissolution of redevelopment in 2012 depleted a major funding source for affordable housing throughout the State. Public agencies and non-profit service providers have to be creative and determined in finding new ways to fund affordable housing and meet RHNA requirements. RSG possesses the broad knowledge and experience necessary to assist the City of Norco with navigating the complexities of creating and preserving affordable housing in today’s climate.

The following details several potential services that RSG can assist the City with.

Review And Preparation of Annual Compliance Monitoring Reports RSG understands the annual compliance reporting requirements. Monitoring services will include:

1. Conduct an audit of each affordable housing project including tenant file review

2. Conduct property inspections as needed to identify violations pertaining to health and safety, building code, and unit habitability standards as identified in the Housing Quality Standards.

3. Review and ensure the annual compliance report is accurately demonstrating the alignment of the tenant file data/contents.

4. Analyze tenant’s income eligibility and gross rents are complying with the State or Federal published income and rent limits, along with the requirements of the corresponding project agreement.

5. Review for accuracy and completeness corresponding forms as required by the controlling agreement such as:
• Tenant application, recertifications, lease, addendums, rent documentation and certificate of program compliance.

Alma Robles, Planning Director
City of Norco
June 10, 2025

6. Prepare a report to the City and property management/owners on the status of each project monitored. The report identifies all key areas monitored such as:
• Project overview, unit set-aside designation by area median income, program compliance, tenant documentation, income and rent analysis • Follow-up with any corrections and recommendations noted in the report findings, by working with the property managers/owners to bring project into full compliance with the City’s project agreement
Redevelopment Agency Housing Successor Annual Report
Pursuant to redevelopment agency dissolution, HSC Section 34176.1 created a new requirement that successor housing entities provide an annual report beginning in 2014 that details compliance with the expenditure limitations specified in HSC Section 34176.1 during each five-year compliance period. The Housing Authority’s Housing Successor Compliance Report will include information regarding the following real property, Housing Fund encumbrances, loans, and deferrals reported on the City’s Housing Assets Transfer (“HAT”) form:
• Land held for development of low/moderate income housing; • Housing Fund encumbrances;
• Loans/Grants Receivables; and
• Deferrals.

As required by HSC Section 34176.1, the Housing Successor Compliance Report will provide the following information:
• The amount deposited into the Housing Fund;
• A statement of the balance of the Housing Fund;
• A description of expenditures by category;
• The statutory value of real property;
• A description of transfers;
• A description of projects that receive funding through the Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (ROPS)
• The status of properties pursuant to the five-year disposition period; • An update on the inclusionary and replacement housing obligation; • Compliance with expenditures in the five-year period; • The percentage of senior deed-restricted units; and
• The amount of excess surplus.

Upon completion, the Housing Successor Compliance Report will be submitted to HCD by the December 31deadline.

Disposition and Development Efforts
RSG will assist staff with evaluating disposition and development options consistent with Council direction and the City’s affordable housing objectives. RSG is familiar with the City’s various housing assets and the legal restrictions associated with the expenditure of Low and Moderate Income Housing Asset Funds (“LMIHAF”).

RSG is also familiar with Surplus Land Act requirements and can assist the City with nonhousing successor property disposition activities. As needed, we will assist the City with strategizing how to meet its affordable housing goals while ensuring compliance with any legal restrictions.

Negotiation/Review of Affordable Housing Agreements
RSG will conduct negotiations directly with the property owner(s), business owner(s), and tenants/lessees, or their appointed representatives, for the purchase of the property interests and rights to be acquired. Negotiations will be conducted in a professional manner, while sensitive to the needs of the affected parties. RSG will coordinate with the City’s legal counsel for the preparation, review and approval of all acquisition agreements and other required documents (such as agreements, grant deeds, quitclaim deeds, assignment of leases, estoppel certificates, etc.) for the purchase of the property interests and rights in accordance with federal, state, and county regulations.

RSG will review affordable housing agreements as needed to analyze conditions, terms, covenants, and affordable housing restrictions. If needed, RSG will negotiate financial deal points to be included in any agreement between a developer and the City/Housing Authority. To ensure consistency between agreed upon deal points and documents, RSG will review and provide comments on any agreements.

RSG will advise and support staff as needed on affordable housing-related questions or issues as they arise. Affordable housing efforts are intricately linked to other fields such as real estate, finance, and economic development. We pride ourselves on being a trusted adviser to clients and are available to answer questions on a wide range of topics based on our broad experience.

Agreement Compliance
Project Agreement Summaries: RSG can develop project agreement forms to help identify key components in a summary style document of the required monitoring. The summary forms are ideal to quickly access the information of the upcoming schedule of monitoring and easily prepare the necessary documents. Information in the summary forms would be:
• Agreement milestone dates
• Financial reporting requirements
• Annual reporting information
• Required owner obligations
Residual Receipts Review and Reconciliation: RSG can provide financial audit services to ensure compliance pursuant to affordable housing agreements and loan documents. This

Alma Robles, Planning Director
City of Norco
June 10, 2025

ensures the City is receiving the correct amount of residual receipts payments owed to them under loan documents. RSG would undertake the following tasks to review payments owed from each applicable property:
• Review Affordable Housing Agreements and Loan Documents to confirm which properties owe loan payments from residual receipts. Each loan agreement will have individual terms for making residual receipt loan repayments from what is typically referred to as “net cash flow”, or revenues less operating expenses and qualified debt.

RSG will prepare a brief loan term summary sheet for each property that has an outstanding residual receipts loan that outlines how net cash flow is defined and annual loan repayments are calculated.
• Perform audits of project financial statements covering the past 1-2 years for each property with outstanding residual receipt loans. Additional years may be examined if it appears that there are significant variances on what was paid versus what should have been paid to the City. The review audits would focus primarily on the Financial Statements’ “Statements of Operations” and related information in attached schedules.
• Prepare a cash flow analysis to determine residual receipt revenue for each project. The cash flow analysis would itemize rent revenues and other income for the project’s operations, and the annual operating expenses paid from the total income received, as well as any other costs including deposits to operating and replacement reserve accounts.
• Calculate periodic payments of principal and interest including deferred interest, and participation payments including residual receipts payments in accordance with the applicable terms and conditions of the agreements.
• Provide a historic summary of operating cash flows to identify all amounts to be paid to the City pursuant to each property’s repayment obligation, while also tracking the project’s continuing operating feasibility.
• Prepare a memo summarizing audit findings and any issues to discuss with Property Owners.
• If requested, RSG could meet with the City and Property Owners to discuss any variances in the methodology for calculating residual receipt revenue and any other concerns that may arise from review of the Financial Statements. Our role would be to foster communication that allows both parties to come to resolution on how the calculation should be performed. The fee for this optional service would be charged on a time and materials basis with staff’s authorization as budget permits.

State Housing Grants Program Applications
RSG will help the City identify and apply for available grants applicable to the City’s efforts to further the advancement of affordable housing within the community. RSG has successfully assisted a number of cities with applying for and obtaining SB2 Year 1 Planning Grant funding.

RSG has assisted a number of cities applying for Local Early Action Planning grant program

Alma Robles, Planning Director
City of Norco
June 10, 2025

funding and Permanent Local Housing Allocation grant program funding. RSG’s grant program application services will begin with notifying the City of grant programs that may be of assistance in providing funding to accelerate affordable housing. Upon identifying an applicable grant, we will work closely with City staff to identify eligible projects and potential uses for grant funding.

RSG can review the grant program and application guidelines in combination with the City’s affordable housing needs and provide the City with an assessment of activities eligible for grant funding. Based on our suggestions and any additional activities the City is pursuing, RSG will draft the scope of work for the chosen activities. Additionally, with input from the City, we will draft the remainder of the grant application. The City will be responsible for obtaining a signed resolution and coordinating public meetings and notices related to the grant funding should those be required. Once all application requirements have been met, RSG will submit the application on behalf of the City. Upon the award of funding, RSG will be available to provide assistance to the City in implementing and facilitating the activities identified in the application scope.

Project Development Assistance
RSG will provide staff with project development assistance for potential affordable housing projects funded by local housing resources (e.g. HOME, Housing Authority, Housing Successor). RSG can assist the City with planning, analysis, and implementation tasks associated with the utilization of housing funding. Services include:

1. Project Planning: RSG will assist staff with evaluating expenditure and property disposition options consistent with Council direction and the City’s affordable housing objectives. RSG is familiar with the legal restrictions associated with the expenditure of various affordable housing funding sources and property disposition processes, including the Surplus Land Act. We will assist the City with planning and strategy activities that will assist the City in meeting its affordable housing goals while ensuring compliance with any legal restrictions. RSG would assist staff as needed with identifying projects eligible and appropriate for funding use.

2. NOFA/RFP Preparation: RSG will then draft and issue a NOFA/RFP that will help the City assess developer qualifications and detail selection criteria. Selection criteria may include, but is not limited to:
o Expertise and experience of the development entity and team in designing and constructing high quality affordable housing projects.
o Vision and design for a market-feasible affordable housing project that implements the City’s vision for the community and promotes the community character of Norco.
o Economic viability and financial strength of the proposed project, including marketability and feasibility.

Alma Robles, Planning Director
City of Norco
June 10, 2025

o Experience and ability to creatively negotiate an affordable housing agreement, or other appropriate development agreement, that provides the greatest return on investment to the City.
o Financial and organizational capacity of the team to successfully complete the project, including the ability to secure financing and leverage other funding sources to build the highest quality housing project.

RSG will work with staff and legal counsel to further define selection criteria that meets the community’s goals. Once the NOFA/RFP is finalized, RSG will also assist the City with conducting an informational conference call wherein interested developers can get an overview of the topic and ask questions prior to submitting a response.

3. Developer Selection: RSG can also assist the City in evaluating NOFA/RFP responses. RSG will prepare for the City’s approval a preliminary Checklist, which will guide the review process and ensure that “like comparisons” are made in terms of each proposal’s completeness and compliance with the submission requirements. RSG will review submittals and analyze pertinent data and materials provided in each developer submittal to evaluate the completeness of the proposal in accordance with the criteria and requirements identified in the NOFA/RFP. The proposal screening will be undertaken using the Checklist approved by the City to ensure consistency in the review process.

RSG’s detailed evaluations will emphasize the analysis of the development costs for the improvements based on current third-party cost data obtained from Marshall & Swift Valuation Services, our recent comparable project experience, as well as the related “indirect” construction costs identified by each developer proposal. RSG would also expect to scrutinize the developer’s assumptions to ensure that the anticipated costs, revenues, and operating and replacement reserves are realistic and not over/understated. This would include a detailed look at developer fees and deferred fees. RSG will also prepare a long-term cash flow to ensure that the prospective developer can remain solvent as an operator throughout the duration of the affordability period. Based on RSG’s detailed evaluation of the proposals, we will recommend finalists to the City and prepare interview questions to be used for the selected developers. RSG will participate in interviews along with Staff to select a developer that best meets the needs of the community.

General As-Needed Services
The City has multiple responsibilities related to asset management and property disposition and development, and many needs may arise that are impossible to predict in advance. RSG will assist with general as-needed services for miscellaneous items and studies as requested by staff. This may include items related to the implementation of programs, policies, and priorities identified in the City’s Housing Element.

● Underwriting – RSG has conducted the underwriting and complete technical evaluations of multiple development proposals for affordable housing projects located throughout San Diego County. In this capacity, RSG has provided services including:
○ Developer Reviews – San Diego County retained RSG to review and evaluate responses to multiple NOFAs that the County issued regarding funding available for eligible affordable housing projects. This engagement capitalizes on our experience with the HOME Investment Partnerships Program, Section 8 Rental Assistance Project-Based Vouchers (PBVs), and Project-Based Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (VASH) Vouchers. For each project, RSG thoroughly reviews the developer’s pro forma, including construction cost estimates, proposed sources and uses of funding, income and expense assumptions, and cash flow projections.
○ Subsidy Layering Analyses – For each application, RSG performs a subsidy layering analysis to determine the project’s compliance with the strictest requirements of the various proposed funding sources. For projects proposed to be funded with TCAC funding, RSG estimates the project’s competitiveness for tax credit funding.
○ Memorandums – For each development proposal we review, RSG provides the County a memo providing our recommendation regarding the amount of County funding warranted for the project and a summary of the strengths and weakness of the project. Our memo also details the developer’s major pro forma assumptions and whether each assumption complies with County requirements and TCAC Guidelines (if applicable).
● Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Subsidy Program – RSG researched existing ADU programs to identify requirements, determine outcomes and overall success of the program, identify how the program is funded, and develop best practices. Based on the information gathered, RSG determined if there was demand for the Program and then researched and analyzed ADU construction trends to assist the County in determining the financial feasibility of ADU product types. RSG prepared a detailed comprehensive report based on the collective research completed. The report provided RSG’s recommendations on the parameters, guidelines, and supporting analysis for the design of the Program.

● Ramona Market Study – RSG evaluated a site located in the Ramona community plan area to determine whether it was suitable for the development of an affordable senior group home. RSG conducted a site assessment to identify the parameters by which an affordable senior group home could be developed on the site, as well as a market assessment to determine the level of local demand for this type of development. Based on our site assessment and market assessment, RSG found the property suitable for an affordable senior group housing development. RSG estimated that the property could be developed with up to 245 living units, a 60,000-square foot senior center, and a parking lot of about 245 spaces. Based on RSG’s assessment, the County moved forward with issuing an RFP to select a developer for the project. ● Homekey Review – RSG assisted the County with review of a developer’s proposal to acquire a hotel for conversion into housing. The developer proposed to partially fund the Project with HCD Homekey Program funding, as well as County funding. RSG reviewed the developer’s pro forma and provided the County a memo detailing our recommendation regarding the County funding request. The memo also summarized strengths and weaknesses of the project and our review of the pro forma assumptions.

RSG highlighted potential changes to the pro forma that could increase the project’s financial feasibility and result in less County funding needed. ● Developer Capacity Evaluation – RSG performed analyses indicating the feasibility of potential projects, highlighting whether any gap financing is needed. RSG also scrutinized the developer’s assumptions to ensure that the anticipated costs, revenues, and operating and replacement reserves were realistic and not over/understated. This included a detailed look at developer fees and deferred fees. Additionally, RSG prepared a long-term cash flow to ensure that prospective developers could remain solvent as an operator throughout the duration of the affordability period. RSG delivered a peer review pro forma analysis, consisting of detailed construction and project phasing assessment, a phasing and post-stabilization 55-year operating forecast, and various measures of return on investment based on the proposed developer’s preferred disposition of the project once developed.

To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Sam Nelson, Interim Public Works Director
Prepared By: Sam Nelson, Interim Public Works Director
Department: Public Works
SUBJECT:

Approving Multiple Vendors to Provide Waterworks Parts Supplies for Fiscal Year 2025- 26 RECOMMENDATION:

Authorize the City Manager to issue open purchase orders for the waterworks parts supplies in a not-to-exceed cumulative amount of $300,000 for Fiscal Year 2025-26.

SUMMARY:

The Public Works Department previously sought and obtained annual 12-month quotes for waterworks supplies and hardware. However, due to multiple years of supply chain issues, delays and frequent price increases from suppliers, vendors are still unwilling to provide yearlong price guarantees. The benefit of annual fixed pricing is likely no longer going to be available going forward and parts will just need to be as needed based on pricing available at the time. Public Works is requesting that City Council authorize an open purchase order in the amount not to exceed $300,000 to be split amongst vendors Ferguson Waterworks, Core & Main, Yofire & OC Winwater for fiscal year 2025-26.

BACKGROUND:

The Public Works Department annually seeks 12-month quotes for waterworks supplies and hardware. The goal is to obtain quotes for nearly 300 water works items and each vendor agrees to hold this pricing for the full fiscal year. During fiscal years 2021 though 2023, ongoing material shortages, shipping delays, and fluctuations in pricing resulted in the traditional vendors that reply to the City's requests for quotes unable to provide any guaranteed pricing beyond 30 days. In fiscal year 2024-25, the supply chain situation for waterworks supplies improved but no vendors would provide price guarantees beyond 30 days.

For fiscal year 2025-26, staff once again requested annual part quotes, but waterworks suppliers still are not willing to provide long term pricing (max 90 days). This is likely

going to be the new normal for vendors each year moving forward. Despite not having any guaranteed pricing, Public Works still needs to purchase parts on a weekly basis and is requesting that the City Council authorize an open purchase order in the amount not to exceed $300,000 to be split amongst our existing vendors including Ferguson Waterworks, Core & Main, and Yofire. Public Works has also found another vendor, OC Winwater, that has proven to be a good resource for parts and materials. Each vendor's parts supply warehouse is located within a reasonable driving distance to the City (Ferguson - Riverside, Core & Main - Perris, Yofire - Stanton, OC Winwater- Anaheim) and offers after-hours assistance when parts are needed.

For routine purchases of parts to restock the warehouse, staff will make every effort to contact each vendor to obtain costs prior to purchasing parts but there will be emergency instances that require parts to be obtained based on availability versus pricing.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Funding for the annual purchase of miscellaneous water works parts supplies is included in the proposed FY 2025-26 Water Operations Fund Budget.

BACKGROUND:

On December 20, 2023, the Norco City Council approved a Second Amendment to the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the City of Corona and the City of Norco to extend the term of the MOU to September 30, 2025.

On March 17, 2025, the Corona/Norco Housing & Homeless Solutions Manager, the City Manager, and Community Services Manager met with the Norco City Council Subcommittee on Homeless Solutions. At the request of the Council Subcommittee, staff provided detailed dashboard reports regarding outcomes and performance

measures, data trends as well as six different budget options for FY 2025-26. The Council Subcommittee reported back to City Council with final recommendations for the allocation of funds to support the FY 2025-26 MOU for Collaborative Homeless Services.

Consistent with prior delegated authority from City Council, staff recommends the City Manager be authorized to work with the City of Corona to finalize and execute the FY 2025-26 MOU in an amount not to exceed $568,360 for the term of July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026.
