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

Rate Adjustments Proposed by Waste Management for Fiscal Year 2026-27 RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt Resolution No. 2026-43, approving Waste Management Annual Rate Adjustment for FY 2026-27
SUMMARY:

The current Franchise Agreement provides that Waste Management is entitled to receive yearly rate adjustments for inflation based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI).

The change in the CIP for the 12-month period is 5.27%. However, per the City's franchise agreement with Waste Management, the CPI percentage increase cannot exceed 4%. Therefore, Waste Management has requested that a 4% increase be applied to all service components and ancillary fees effective July 1, 2026 (See Waste Management 2026-27 Rate Exhibit).

BACKGROUND:

The current Franchise Agreement between the City and Waste Management was executed on March 6, 2024 and became effective July 1, 2024. The ten-year term of the Agreement will expire in the year 2034. The Agreement provides that the franchisee is entitled to adjust rates on an annual basis to cover increased costs due to inflation based on increases in the CPI. The CPI to be used in such adjustment shall be the series CUSR0000SEHG02, Garbage and trash collection in U.S. city average, all urban consumers, seasonally adjusted. The Maximum Service Rates shall be adjusted based on one hundred percent (100%) of the 12-month average change in the CPI for the 12- month period published immediately prior to the rate application (average of the CPI from January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2025). The average change in the CIP for the 12-month period is 5.27%. However, per the City's franchise agreement with Waste Management, the CPI percentage increase cannot exceed 4%.

Page 35 of 494 ends

Waste Management submitted its proposed rate adjustments in its letter dated February 17, 2026 (see 2026 Annual Rate Adjustment Request). The proposed rates reflect a 4% CPI.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Franchise fee revenue under General Fund account number 121.000.52115 and vehicle impact fee revenue under Street Improvement Fund account number 149.000.57501 will increase by 4%, which is approximately $40,500 and $36,400, respectively.

RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN:

The Waste Management Rate Adjustments are consistent with Strategic Direction #3 - "Assure financial stability by identifying new revenue sources and continuing prudent financial management."

To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Amanda Hamilton, Deputy City Manager /
Community Operations Director
Prepared By: Amanda Hamilton, Deputy City Manager /
Community Operations Director
Department: Facilities and Maintenance
SUBJECT:

Adoption of Resolution 2026-51 Granting the City Manager Authority to Authorize Discounted Fees When the Norco Animal Shelter Reaches Capacity During FY 2026– 27 RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt Resolution 2026-51 granting the City Manager authority to authorize discounted fees when the Norco Animal Shelter reaches capacity during FY 2026–27.

SUMMARY:

The Animal Shelter Adoption Specials Program has increased adoptions, reduced overcrowding, and improved animal welfare by using targeted discounts based on shelter capacity and behavioral health needs. Since implementation, it has resulted in over 50 adoptions and improved shelter operations during high-capacity periods. Staff recommends continuing the program for FY 2026–27 due to its demonstrated success.

BACKGROUND:

The Animal Shelter Adoption Specials Program has proven to be a successful tool in increasing adoptions, reducing overcrowding, and improving outcomes for animals housed at the Norco Animal Shelter. Since implementation of the program, more than 50 animals have been successfully adopted through targeted adoption specials designed to address shelter capacity levels, extended lengths of stay, and behavioral health concerns associated with prolonged kennel housing.

Due to the success of these adoption specials, staff is recommending continuation of the program into Fiscal Year 2026–27 to provide continued flexibility in managing shelter populations and improving animal welfare outcomes.

About the Program
The Norco Animal Shelter provides care, treatment, and placement for stray, surrendered, and impounded animals within the City. At certain times of the year, the shelter operates at or near capacity. This typically occurs during the spring and summer months but may occur at any time due to economic conditions and other unforeseen circumstances.

When shelter capacity is reached or exceeded, operational challenges arise, including limited kennel availability, elevated animal stress levels, and increased staff workload.

These conditions can negatively impact animal health, staff efficiency, and adoption outcomes.

Page 57 of 494 ends

On April 15, 2026, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2026-21 approving amendments to the City’s General Fee Schedule, including animal adoption fees, for Fiscal Year 2026–27. Under the adopted fee schedule, any adjustment to established fees requires prior City Council approval, limiting staff’s ability to respond quickly to overcrowding conditions at the Animal Shelter.

The program is established based upon the following shelter capacity thresholds:

ANIMAL TYPE TOTAL KENNEL

CAPACITY

CAPACITY THRESHOLD
(TRIGGER FOR DISCOUNTS)
Canine (Dogs/Puppies) 42 Kennels 36 Dogs/Puppies 85%
Feline (Cats/Kittens) 55 Kennels 47 Cats/Kittens 85%
 At Capacity (85%–99% Occupancy): When shelter occupancy reaches between 85% and 99% capacity, the City Manager may authorize a temporary 50% reduction on all adoption and related fees for canine and/or feline adoptions.

The discount period may remain in effect for up to 30 days or until shelter occupancy falls below 50%.
 Over Capacity (100%+ Occupancy): When shelter occupancy exceeds maximum kennel capacity, the City Manager may authorize emergency adoption pricing to help rapidly reduce shelter populations. During this period, adopters would only be responsible for the applicable animal license fee, while all other adoption and related fees would be waived. Emergency discounts may remain in effect for up to 14 days or until occupancy falls below 50%.  Behavioral Health-Based Discounts: On a case-by-case basis, the Animal Services Superintendent may recommend adoption fee reductions for individual dogs or cats experiencing behavioral health concerns associated with prolonged shelter stays or kennel stress. In these cases, adopters would only be responsible for the applicable $25 animal license fee, while all other adoption and related fees would be waived. The duration of the discount period would be determined based on the specific needs and circumstances of the animal.

Roles and Responsibilities
Community Operations Director and Animal Control Superintendent  Monitor daily shelter population levels
 Notify the City Manager when capacity thresholds are met  Recommend adoption specials and discount programs
 Implement authorized promotions and maintain records
 Provide post-campaign adoption reports to the City Council City Manager
 Review and authorize temporary adoption fee discounts  Ensure policy compliance and fiscal oversight
The Animal Shelter Adoption Specials Program based on shelter capacity and behavioral health has demonstrated measurable success in increasing adoptions, reducing overcrowding, and improving animal welfare outcomes during high-capacity periods.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Temporary reductions in adoption fees during FY 2026-27 may result in short-term revenue decreases. However, these are expected to be offset by decreased operational costs due to shorter animal stays.

STAFF REPORT
Date: June 3, 2026 Agenda Item:

5.A.

Approval of the Title VI Implementation Plan and Adoption of Resolution 2026-50 for the City of Norco’s Seniors on the Move Program
RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt Resolution 2026-50 approving the City of Norco’s Title VI Plan and authorize the Title VI Coordinator to implement the plan and submit it to CalTrans as required.

SUMMARY:

The Seniors on the Move Program provides free door-to-door transportation for eligible Norco seniors, veterans, and disabled residents to essential services within a 30-mile radius. The City received $120,000 in FTA Section 5310 funding to replace its aging 12- passenger bus, which has exceeded its useful life and increased maintenance costs.

Approval of the Title VI Implementation Plan is required for federal compliance and includes nondiscrimination policies, complaint procedures, public participation, and language access requirements.

BACKGROUND:

The City of Norco operates the Seniors on the Move Program, a door-to-door transportation service providing free rides to Norco resident seniors age 50 and older, able-bodied Norco resident military veterans age 50 and older, and disabled Norco residents of any age. The program supports access to essential services, including medical appointments, grocery shopping, prescription pick-up, banking, postal services, and other daily needs within a 30-mile radius outside of Norco city limits.

The City of Norco was awarded $120,000 in grant funding through the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Section 5310 Enhanced Mobility of Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities 2023 Program of Projects – Large Urbanized Areas (LUZAs). These funds

Page 71 of 494 ends

will be used to replace the City’s aging 2009 Ford 12-passenger medium bus, which has exceeded 300,000 miles and requires consistent maintenance and repairs.

To remain compliant with federal requirements associated with this grant funding, the City must approve a Title VI Implementation Plan.

Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, or national origin in programs and activities receiving federal financial assistance. The Federal Transit Administration requires all recipients of federal transit funding to develop and maintain a Title VI Program demonstrating compliance with these nondiscrimination requirements.

The City’s Title VI Implementation Plan establishes the policies, procedures, and reporting requirements necessary to ensure compliance, including:
 Nondiscrimination policies and practices
 Complaint procedures and resolution process
 Public participation requirements
 Language assistance services for Limited English Proficient (LEP) individuals  Outreach, accessibility, and engagement strategies
 Staff training and compliance monitoring
 Program oversight and reporting responsibilities
The proposed Title VI Implementation Plan has been prepared in accordance with FTA Circular 4702.1B and includes all required components for compliance as a Section 5310 funding recipient.

Key elements of the plan include:
 Title VI Notice to the Public
 Title VI Complaint Procedures and Complaint Forms in English and Spanish  Public participation and outreach procedures
 Language Assistance Plan for Limited English Proficient populations  Complaint tracking and documentation procedures
 Staff training requirements
 Demographic and language access analysis of the City’s service area The plan further reflects the City’s commitment to equitable access to transportation services and communication for all residents, including those with limited English proficiency. Outreach materials such as brochures, newsletters, and complaint forms are currently available in both English and Spanish. In addition, the City has already taken proactive steps by adding a dedicated Title VI compliance page to the City’s website, which provides program information in both English and Spanish.

Approval of the Title VI Implementation Plan and adoption of the proposed resolution will ensure continued compliance with federal requirements and maintain the City’s eligibility for current and future grant funding that supports transportation services for seniors and individuals with disabilities.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Page 72 of 494 ends

The City was awarded $120,000 in FTA Section 5310 grant funding for the purchase of a replacement 12-passenger medium bus for the Seniors on the Move Program. The total project cost is $150,000, including a required local match contribution of $30,000 which has been added to the Capital Improvement Program Budget for FY 2026-27.

Approval of the Title VI Implementation Plan does not create any additional fiscal impact but is necessary to maintain eligibility for existing and future federal transportation grant funding opportunities.

5 Introduction
The City of Norco runs the “Seniors on the Move” transportation program, a unique doorto-door transportation service available to all Norco resident seniors 50 years and older, able-bodied Norco resident military veterans 50 years and older, and disabled Norco residents of any age. This program provides free transportation to residents within a 30- mile radius outside of Norco city limits for necessary grocery shopping, medical visits, obtaining prescriptions, paying bills, postal services, banking, etc. Reservations are made on a first-come, first-served basis, and residents are encouraged to make a trip request at least one week prior to their desired date.

To confirm hours and trip availability, residents are asked to call the Senior Center.

As a recipient of Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Section 5310 Program funding, the City of Norco is required to comply with the guidelines set forth in the Federal Transit Administration's (FTA) Title VI Circular 4702.1B, Title VI Program.

Purpose
The purpose of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is to protect persons in the United States from being excluded from participation in, denied the benefits of, or subjected to discrimination on the basis of race, color, or national origin in any program or activity receiving federal financial assistance. This document provides clarity on the legal requirements set forth by the statutes that govern the FTA federal assistance program.

Plan Approval by Resolution
This document was prepared and approved by the City Council to comply with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, including provisions detailed in the U.S. Department of Transportation's FTA Circular 4702.1B, Title Vl Requirements and Guidelines for Federal Transit Administration Recipients (Attachment 2).

Non-Discrimination Policy Statement
The City of Norco is committed to ensuring that no person is excluded from the equal distribution of its transit services, programs, or resources on the basis of race, color, or national origin, in accordance with Title VI, 42 U.S.C. § 2000d, of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and other related statutes.

Title Vl Notice to the Public
Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 requires that no person in the United States, on the grounds of race, color, or national origin, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving federal financial assistance.

The City of Norco is responsible for informing the public of its Title VI obligations through public notices that outline the City’s Title VI complaint procedures. Any person who believes they have been denied access to, or discriminated against while using, the Seniors on the Move transit service on the basis of race, color, or national origin may file a written complaint. All complaints will be investigated fairly and objectively.

For more information about the City of Norco’s Title VI Program or to file a complaint, individuals may contact the Title VI Coordinator at 951-270-5648 or visit www.norco.ca.us/titlevi to request and complete a Title VI Complaint Form.

Complaints must be submitted to the City of Norco’s Title VI Coordinator within 180 days of the alleged discriminatory act(s). All complaints will be reviewed.

Complaint Forms
See Attachment 5 for the Title VI Complaint Form (available in English and Spanish).

Title Vl Complaint Procedures
The City of Norco must investigate all Title VI complaints received within 180 days of the alleged incident. Only complete complaints will be processed. The following procedures will be used to investigate formal Title VI complaints:
• Within 10 business days of receiving the complaint, the City of Norco’s Title VI Coordinator will review the complaint to determine whether the City has jurisdiction. The complainant will receive an acknowledgement letter indicating whether the complaint will be investigated.
• The investigation will be conducted and completed within 30 days of receipt of the formal complaint.
• If additional information is needed to resolve the case, the City of Norco may contact the complainant. The complainant has 10 business days from the date of the request letter to provide the requested information. If the complainant does not respond within 10 business days, the City may administratively close the case. • The complainant will be notified in writing if an extension to the 30-day investigation period is required and the reason for the extension.

Page 84 of 494 ends

10 • A case may also be administratively closed if the complainant no longer wishes to pursue the matter. After the investigation is completed, the Title VI Coordinator will issue one of two letters to the complainant.
1) Closure Letter – summarizes the allegations and states that no Title VI violation was found and that the case will be closed.
2) Letter of Finding (LOF) – summarizes the allegations and the interviews conducted during the investigation, and explains whether any disciplinary action, additional staff training, or other corrective measures will occur. • If the complainant is unsatisfied with the decision, they have 30 days from the date of the City of Norco Closure Letter or LOF to appeal to the Norco City Council. The complainant is entitled to a review of the denial, the opportunity to present additional information or arguments, and a separation of functions (i.e., the appeal will be decided by an individual who was not involved in the initial determination).

The complainant will receive written notification of the appeal decision and the reason for that decision.
• The complainant may also file a complaint directly with the Federal Transit Administration at:

Federal Transit Administration

Attn: Title Vl Program Coordinator
East Building, 5th Floor – TCR
1200 New Jersey Ave., S.E.

Washington, D.C. 20590
List of Transit-Related Title VI Investigations, Complaints, or Lawsuits FTA requires that recipients maintain records of all investigations, complaints, or lawsuits alleging discrimination on the basis of race, color, or national origin in transit-related activities and programs. These records must be retained for three years, and a list of all such cases must be maintained for five years.

The City of Norco has not received any transit-related Title VI complaints, nor has it been involved in any transit-related Title VI investigations or lawsuits since Lisette Free was appointed as City Manager (the current City Manager at the time of this plan’s development).

Page 85 of 494 ends

11 Training
At least every three years, the City of Norco’s Community Operations Department will provide Title VI training for its transportation staff. Training will be developed by the Title VI Coordinator and will also be made available at the time of hire. Title VI training will include, at minimum:
• Review of the Title VI Implementation Plan and other relevant documents • Overview of language assistance services, including use of the call center and visual translation cards (if budget permits)
• Procedures for identifying and handling potential complaints • Guidance on where to seek assistance for Title VI questions or concerns • Office for Civil Rights — Training for Grantees Title VI Overview Video Transit Equity Analysis
Seniors on the Move is administered by the City of Norco. The City of Norco does not own or operate any transit facilities, land, or transit centers. All operations are part of the City’s government.

Because the City of Norco does not own any transit-related property, its Title VI responsibilities focus on service delivery equity, policy adoption, and monitoring potential disparate impacts or disproportionate burdens through its planning and operational decisions.

12 Public Participation Plan
As part of its Title Vl Program, the City of Norco is increasing its public participation processes. The City is also enhancing strategies for engaging minority and Limited English Proficient (LEP) individuals. This plan provides guidelines for involving the public in the City’s planning efforts to ensure that all groups are represented and their needs considered.

The City of Norco is committed to ensuring it serves seniors and adults with disabilities fairly, consistently, and in the most cost-efficient and appropriate manner within available resources. Through conversation and collaboration with riders, prospective riders, and the larger surrounding community, the City of Norco will be able to assess the quality of its service, measure potential impacts to the community from initiatives or proposed initiatives, and ensure that it provides valuable services to the residents and visitors of the City of Norco.

Public Participation Process
The public participation process should be considered at the earliest stages of any City of Norco project that may impact the surrounding community, its riders, and
potential riders.

The Seniors on the Move Program provides a door-todoor dial-a-ride service for seniors 50 years and older, able-bodied Norco resident military veterans 50 years and older, and disabled Norco residents of any age.

A monthly newsletter is produced in both English and
Spanish, detailing events and activities at the Senior
Center. A brochure promoting Seniors on the Move is also available in both English and Spanish. Seniors on the Move services are additionally advertised on the City of Norco’s website.

The service is also promoted through the Riverside County Transportation Commission under its Specialized Transit division: https://www.rctc.org/travel-riversidecounty/specialized-transit/ Seniors on the Move also hosts tabling events throughout the year at neighboring senior housing communities, including Clark Terrace and Heritage Park Apartments, as well as at the annual Senior Health and Wellness Expo.

Page 87 of 494 ends

13 There have not been instances in which the City has needed to seek public participation for any process that may impact its riders or potential riders. Seniors on the Move services have not changed since 2002, when the City began service. However, if changes to Seniors on the Move are proposed that may impact the surrounding community, its riders, or potential riders, the City of Norco has established minimum requirements for public participation (see below). The Title VI Coordinator will be responsible for conducting the Participation Plan when appropriate.

Outreach Requirements and Activities
The following guidelines outline the minimum level of outreach to ensure that all riders and potential riders in the City of Norco have equal access and opportunity to participate in transportation planning and decision-making. These guidelines also provide strategies for soliciting input and engaging various communities when needed.

Minimum Outreach Requirements
• Notice for “Seniors on the Move” public events
may include posters, email blasts, press
releases to local newspapers, social media
posts, or radio announcements if funding
allows.
• All notices will be posted at least two weeks
prior to the public participation event.
• Notices may be posted at the Senior Center
and on the Seniors on the Move van, as appropriate.
• Information about public participation opportunities will also be posted on the City’s webpage at least two weeks prior to the event.
• Comments will be accepted through the City’s webpage, at public outreach events, via email, by mail, and by phone, to ensure that all populations have the opportunity to participate.

Outreach Methods to Engage Minority and Limited English Proficient Populations • Notice for “Seniors on the Move” public events may include posters, email blasts, press releases to local papers, social media posts, or radio announcements if funding allows, and will be translated into Spanish.
• Spanish notices will be posted alongside the English notices in the Senior Center and on the vehicle.
• Event information on the City’s webpage will be posted in both English and Spanish at least two weeks prior to the event.

Page 88 of 494 ends

14 • The City of Norco will distribute information about participation “Seniors on the Move” events to community groups and agencies that work with LEP populations, if such contracts exist.
• Spanish interpretation or translation will be provided (if resources allow and when necessary) for any meetings the City holds.

Currently, Spanish is the most common language spoken by Limited English Proficient individuals within the City’s service area. The City of Norco is also exploring options for creating brochures in Mandarin and/or Cantonese, as a number of seniors who speak those languages have begun participating on the Seniors on the Move program.

The City of Norco will continue to assess other language needs during its annual review. If another group with limited English proficiency reaches a significant population level, the Title VI Coordinator will explore strategies to engage this population through community outreach and other appropriate
communication methods.

In addition to the minimum levels of outreach listed above, all public meetings comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Any person who requires a modification or accommodation in order to participate in a meeting is encouraged to contact the City Clerk’s Office at (951) 270-5623 or [email protected] at least 48 hours prior to the meeting so that reasonable arrangements can be made to ensure accessibility. Staff reports are on file in the City Clerk’s Office. Any writing or documents provided to a majority of the presiding governmental body regarding any item on the agenda will be available for public inspection at the City Clerk’s Office during normal business hours at Norco City Hall, located at 2870 Clark Avenue in Norco. All public meetings are recorded.

16 Language Assistance Plan
This Language Assistance Plan (LAP) was developed during the preparation of the City of Norco’s Title VI Program to ensure that the transportation services operated by the City are accessible to limited-English proficient (LEP) individuals. Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act is one of two federal mandates that guarantee meaningful access to federally funded services for LEP individuals.

Data Collection and Analysis
The City gathers and analyzes demographic data from various governmental entities, including the U.S. Census Bureau, California Employment Development Department, California Department of Finance, U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Riverside County Transportation Commission, and U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics. This information allows the City to analyze its service area population, identify the languages spoken within the service area, and address any unmet language needs to ensure inclusiveness.

Four Factor Analysis
The four-factor analysis is a framework used to assess how recipients of federal funding can provide meaningful access to their programs and services for individuals with Limited English Proficiency (LEP) under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. This analysis helps determine what steps are necessary to ensure that LEP individuals are not excluded from accessing benefits and services due to language barriers.

1. The number or proportion of LEP individuals eligible to be served or likely to be encountered

2. The frequency of LEP contacts

3. The nature and importance of the programs, services, or activities provided

4. The resources that are available for LEP individuals Factor 1: Number of LEP individuals eligible for services or likely to be encountered Seniors on the Move provides transportation services to senior citizens, disabled residents, and veterans within a 30-mile radius outside of Norco city limits for grocery shopping, medical visits, obtaining prescriptions, paying bills, and other essential needs.

LEP Data
LEP data helps to identify the need for language translation services and ensure that information is widely available based on eligibility and need. The source of data for the

Page 91 of 494 ends

17 Four Factor Analysis comes from the 2023 American Community Survey (ACS) 5-Year Estimates. This Plan will be updated every three years using the most current ACS data available.

American Community Survey
According to the 2023 U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey, the City of Norco has a total population of 24,123. The 2023 ACS 5-Year Estimates indicate that 16,458 residents (68%) speak only English, 6,606 residents (27%) speak Spanish, and 1,843 residents (8%) speak English less than “very well.” The ACS also reports that 158 residents, or 1% of the population, who speak Mandarin also speak English less than “very well.”
Table 1-City of Norco Language Spoken at Home for Population 5 Years and Over City of Norco, California Percentage of Population
Total: 24,123 100%
Speak only English 16,458 68%
Spanish: 6,606 27%
Speak English "very well" 4,763 20%
Speak English less than "very well" 1,843 8%
Mandarin: 220 1%
Speak English “very well” 62 0%
Speak English less than “very well” 158 1%
Source: U.S. Census Bureau 2023 American Community Survey 5-year Estimates Table C16001 The data shows that the highest percentage of LEP individuals eligible to be served or most likely to be encountered are Spanish-speaking. If this data changes during the next annual review, the City of Norco will explore the need for materials in additional languages.

Page 92 of 494 ends

18 Factor 2: The frequency of LEP contacts
The City of Norco uses a variety of methods to capture the data needed to identify and analyze the frequency of LEP contacts. When an individual calls for a ride, a series of required questions are asked under Riverside County’s Measure A Program, which helps fund the service. Additional data is collected by the driver when the individual is picked up and dropped off.

Table 2-City of Norco Seniors on the Move FY25 Ridership Demographics Demographics Number Served
Seniors 1,514
Disabled 85
Low-Income 0
Table 3-Example of a Driver Log
Currently, the Senior Center has
several Spanish-speaking staff
members who are available to assist
with reservation calls requiring
language support. While these staff
members can effectively assist
Spanish-speaking seniors, the Center
faces challenges when assisting
seniors whose primary language is
neither English nor Spanish, such as
Mandarin speakers.

Although specific demographic data is not requested from each rider, drivers document riders served in the following categories on their daily trip sheets: Seniors, Disabled, and Limited English Proficiency. Additionally, the Senior Center collects demographic data through Community Development Block Grant surveys, which are gathered annually from Senior Center participants.

Page 93 of 494 ends

19 Factor 3: The nature and importance of the programs, services, or activities provided The City of Norco Seniors on the Move Transportation Program aims to fill transportation gaps for seniors and disabled individuals, as identified in the 2021–2025 Coordinated Public Transit–Human Services Transportation Plan for Riverside County. Current services in the region include the Riverside Transit Agency (RTA) and Corona Dial-A-Ride, but limitations exist. RTA, as a fixed-route service, poses accessibility challenges for seniors with limited mobility, and Corona Dial-A-Ride primarily serves Corona residents, with a standard fare of $2.50. For seniors needing to travel for healthcare to locations such as Loma Linda Hospital or various Kaiser Permanente facilities, existing public transportation options are often insufficient. The Coordinated Plan highlights the need for specialized transportation for individuals living on dirt roads, those with mobility limitations, or those requiring door-through-door service due to health fragility.

The Seniors on the Move Transportation Program addresses these needs by offering service in areas not served by RTA, using vehicles equipped for wheelchair access and providing door-to-door transportation. The program supports essential local trips, helps overcome financial barriers to transportation, and assists with long-distance medical appointments. Drivers are trained to assist passengers, accommodate same-day trip requests when possible, and ensure safety measures such as plexiglass barriers and temperature screenings. The program also accommodates non-English speakers by providing brochures in English and Spanish, supporting the communication needs of seniors and individuals with limited English proficiency.

As the older adult population in Riverside County is expected to significantly increase by 2040, the demand for specialized transportation services like the Seniors on the Move Transportation Program will continue to grow, underscoring the importance of ongoing funding and support for these essential services.

Factor 4: Resources available for LEP individuals
The City of Norco will be developing resources to ensure it provides meaningful access to LEP individuals. These include:

The following documents are offered in both English and Spanish:
• Title VI Public Notices
• Title VI Complaint Forms

Page 94 of 494 ends

20 • Title VI Complaint Process
• Seniors on the Move Brochure
Outreach
The City of Norco actively promotes its Title VI Program to ensure that the public is aware of its rights under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Information about the City’s Title VI Program, including the nondiscrimination policy, complaint procedures, and instructions on how to file a complaint, is made available to the public through multiple outreach methods. These methods are designed to reach minority populations, individuals with limited English proficiency (LEP), and other protected classes to the greatest extent practicable.

Implementation Plan
The Title VI Coordinator is responsible for overseeing the implementation of this plan and ensuring ongoing compliance with the Title VI Program.

The Title VI Program is available on the Title VI tab located on the City’s website at www.norco.ca.us/titlevi
Monitoring, Evaluating and Updating the Language Assistance Plan A thorough review of the Language Assistance Plan will be undertaken every three years, concurrently with the updating and submission of the City of Norco’s Title VI Implementation Plan, or as required by federal, state, city, or local regulations. The review and plan update will include evaluating current and future LEP population trends to reassess the languages offered to meet the needs of the service area. The City of Norco will compile data using reputable sources such as the U.S. Census Bureau, Federal and California Departments of Transportation, Riverside County Transportation Commission surveys, and other acceptable data sources.

21 Safe Harbor Provision
The Federal Transit Authority Circular 4702.1B states:
"DOT has adopted DOJ’s Safe Harbor Provision, which outlines circumstances that can provide a “safe harbor” for recipients regarding translation of written materials for LEP populations. The Safe Harbor Provision stipulates that, if a recipient provides written translation of vital documents for each eligible LEP language group that constitutes five percent (5%) or 1,000 persons, whichever is less, of the total population of persons eligible to be served or likely to be affected or encountered, then such action will be considered strong evidence of compliance with the recipient’s written translation obligations. Translation of non-vital documents, if needed, can be provided orally. If there are fewer than 50 persons in a language group that reaches the five percent (5%) trigger, the recipient is not required to translate vital written materials but should provide written notice in the primary language of the LEP language group of the right to receive competent oral interpretation of those written materials, free of cost. These safe harbor provisions apply to the translation of written documents only. They do not affect the requirement to provide meaningful access to LEP individuals through competent oral interpreters where oral language services are needed and are reasonable. A recipient may determine, based on the Four Factor Analysis, that even though a language group meets the threshold specified by the Safe Harbor Provision, written translation may not be an effective means to provide language assistance measures. For example, a recipient may determine that a large number of persons in that language group have low literacy skills in their native language and therefore require oral interpretation. In such cases, background documentation regarding the determination shall be provided to FTA in the Title VI Program."

Title Vl Complaint Procedures
The City of Norco must investigate complaints received no more than 180 days after the alleged incident. Only complete complaints will be processed. The following procedures will be followed to investigate formal Title Vl complaints:
• Within 10 business days of receiving the complaint, the City of Norco’s Title Vl Coordinator will review the form to determine whether our office has authority over the complaint. The complainant will receive an acknowledgement letter informing them whether the complaint will be investigated by our office. • The investigation will be conducted and completed within 30 days of receipt of the formal complaint.
• If more information is needed to resolve the case, the City of Norco may contact the complainant. The complainant has 10 business days from the date of the request letter to provide the additional information to the Title VI Administrator. If the investigator is not contacted by the complainant or does not receive the requested information within 10 business days, the City of Norco may administratively close the case.
• The complainant will be notified in writing of the reason for any extension beyond the 30-day investigation period.
• The case may also be administratively closed if the complainant no longer wishes to pursue it. Following the investigation, the Title VI Administrator will issue one of two letters to the complainant: (1) a closure letter or (2) a Letter of Finding (LOF).

A closure letter summarizes the allegations and states that no Title VI violation was found and that the case is closed. A LOF summarizes the allegations and the interviews conducted regarding the incident, and explains whether any disciplinary action, additional staff training, or other corrective action will occur. • If the complainant is not satisfied with the decision, they have 30 days from the date of the City’s closure letter or LOF to file an appeal with the City Council or its designee. The complainant is entitled to a review of the denial, the opportunity to present additional information or arguments, and a separation of functions, meaning the appeal will be decided by someone not involved in the initial determination. The complainant will receive written notification of the appeal decision and the reasons for it.
• The complainant may also file a complaint directly with the Federal Transit Administration, as follows:

33 Procedimientos de Quejas del Título VI
Attachment 5-2

Page 3 of 3 ends

La Senior on the Move debe investigar las quejas recibidas en un plazo máximo de 180 días desde el presunto incidente. Solo procesaremos las quejas completas. Se seguirán los siguientes procedimientos para investigar quejas formales del Título VI:
• Dentro de los 10 días hábiles siguientes a la recepción de la queja, el Administrador del Título VI de la Ciudad de Norco revisará el formulario para determinar si nuestra oficina tiene autoridad sobre la queja. Recibirá una carta de acuse de recibo informando al denunciante si nuestra oficina la investigará. • La investigación se llevará a cabo y completará dentro de los 30 días siguientes a la recepción de la denuncia formal.
• Si se necesita más información para resolver el caso, la Ciudad de Norco podrá contactar al denunciante. El denunciante tiene 10 días hábiles a partir de la fecha de la carta para enviar la información solicitada al Administrador del Título VI. Si el denunciante no se comunica con el investigador o este no recibe la información adicional en un plazo de 10 días hábiles, la Seniors on the Move podrá cerrar el caso administrativamente.
• Se notificará al reclamante por escrito la causa de cualquier extensión prevista de la regla de 30 días.
• El caso también puede cerrarse administrativamente si el denunciante no desea continuar con su caso. Tras la investigación, el Administrador del Título VI emitirá una de dos cartas al denunciante: 1) una carta de cierre o 2) una carta de conclusiones (LOF). La carta de cierre resume las acusaciones y declara que no hubo ninguna violación del Título VI y que el caso se cerrará. La LOF resume las acusaciones y las entrevistas relacionadas con el presunto incidente, y explica si se tomarán medidas disciplinarias, capacitación adicional para el miembro del personal u otras medidas.
• Si el reclamante no está satisfecho con la decisión, tiene 30 días a partir de la fecha de la carta de cierre de la Seniors on the Move o de la LOF para apelar ante la Junta Directiva de la Ciudad de Norco. El reclamante tiene derecho a revisar la denegación, a presentar información y argumentos adicionales, y a la separación de funciones (es decir, a que una persona ajena a la decisión inicial de denegar la elegibilidad deba tomar la decisión). El reclamante tiene derecho a recibir una notificación por escrito de la decisión de la apelación y sus motivos. • El reclamante también podrá presentar una queja directamente ante la Administración Federal de Tránsito, de la siguiente manera:

1. Redraw the undertaking plans to contain all aspects of the propose use of Building 509 to the interior of the existing leaving the exterior of the building unaltered.

2. If Recommendation 1 is not feasible either:
a. Build a new building to accommodate the proposed building functions elsewhere on the Weapons Station campus, utilizing an architectural style and scale that is compatible with the other 500 series buildings on the campus, or
b. Build a building on another Navy property to accommodate the proposed building functions;

3. If Recommendation 1 or 2a are chosen, return the revised undertaking to the Historic Preservation and Agricultural Heritage Commission for its review and comments.

SUMMARY:

At its April 14 and May 13, 2026 meetings, the Historic Preservation and Agricultural Heritage Commission reviewed the Navy’s proposed undertaking to demolish Building 509 on the Naval Weapons Station, Norco campus and replace it with a new building built on the existing footprint of Building 509. The Commission was greatly concerned about the loss of a historic part of the Naval Weapons Station, Norco property and recommended alternatives to the proposed undertaking that would not affect the exterior of Building 509.

BACKGROUND:

Page 113 of 494 ends

The Navy’s main campus for its operations is located in the former hospital ward buildings (Unit 2) of Naval Hospital Corona. This complex is currently referred to as the “Inner Compound.” There are two Phases of Unit 2’s former ward buildings. Both phases are of Spanish Colonial Revival architecture; however, Phase 1’s buildings have clay tile roofs, while Phase 2’s buildings have composition shingle roofs. Phase 1’s buildings also have weeping mortar pilasters and columns, while Phase 2’s buildings have wooden pilasters and columns. Building 509 is in Phase 1 of the Unit 2 complex.

The Navy has asked the City to comment on its proposed undertaking as required by Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act. Section 106 requires federal agencies to consider the effects on historic properties that they carry out, assist, fund, permit, license or approve. Section 106 requires that federal agencies give interested parties an opportunity to comment on these undertakings. The federal agency is not required, however, to adhere to any recommendations issued by interested parties.

The Navy’s undertaking as contained in Attachment A calls for the complete demolition of Building 509 and its replacement with a new building constructed on the existing Building 509’s footprint. The proposed replacement for the existing Building 509 would be significantly higher than the existing building and have an architectural exterior that is unlike any other 500 series building in the Inner Compound.

The Historic Preservation and Agricultural Heritage Commission first considered the proposed demolition of Building 509 at its April 14, 2026 meeting. At that meeting, many concerns were expressed about the proposed undertaking. The Commission did not feel most of its concerns were adequately addressed by the Navy’s representative at that meeting and, therefore, decided that a Special Meeting should be held to better address its concerns. In the meantime, the Commission asked that Commissioners put their concerns in writing for consideration at the Special Meeting. Attachments B and C are comments from Commissioners Heasley and Letbetter.

The Special Meeting was held on May 13, 2026. At that meeting, the Commission expressed concerns about the scale and architecture of the proposed building.

Commissioners felt that the proposed use of Building should be confined within the existing building with no alterations to the exterior of the building. If that was not feasible, it felt that Building 509 should be left alone and that a new building should be built elsewhere on the Weapons Station campus, utilizing an architectural style compatible with the balance of the historic campus. And, if that was determined not to be feasible then the Navy should accommodate the proposed uses in a building outside of the Weapons Station campus. The Navy was not present at this meeting.

The City’s comments on the proposed undertaking are due on June 5, 2026.

Attachment D is a letter from the Mayor to the Navy expressing its comments and recommendations regarding the proposed undertaking. If needed, this letter can be altered as directed by the City Council.

Dear Mr. Wilkman:

SUBJECT: DETACHMENT NORCO BUILDING 509 RENOVATION
Pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) as amended (54 USC 306108), and its implementing regulation outlined at 36 CFR Part 800, Naval Weapons Station Seal Beach (NWSSB) is initiating consultation for the subject undertaking at Detachment (DET) Norco. The proposed undertaking would involve the complete renovation of Building 509.

NAVWPNSTA Seal Beach is providing: a) a description of the proposed undertaking; b) a description of the area of potential effects (APE); c) the identification of historic properties; and d) the Navy’s finding of No Historic Properties Affected, consistent with 36 CFR Part 800.4(d)(1). A project location map is provided in enclosure (1). a. Description of the Undertaking
The proposed undertaking, pursuant to 36 CFR 800.16(y), would include a significant reconstruction of Building 509 to enable Information Technology (IT) personnel to successfully execute the operation, maintenance, and management of the information technology infrastructure and systems at DET Norco. The current facility does not meet current California seismic code. Therefore, the renovation would result in a substantial portion of the existing facility being demolished. The slab and portions of the foundation would remain. The proposed undertaking would reconstruct the building on the existing footprint of Building 509, with an exterior that is complementary to the adjacent structures in terms of forms, finishes, and materials. The renovation would be designed for adaptability and flexibility to configure the space for current and future missions. The renovation is intended to create a purpose-built IT facility with modern interiors and a compatible, contemporary exterior. The renovated facility will provide for computer labs, offices, and support spaces, as well as a direct physical connection to the adjacent Area Distribution Node (ADN) facility.

Building 509 is a single story, 13,511 square-foot facility originally constructed as a Navy medical facility in 1943. Its Spanish Revival style architecture with white stucco exterior and terra cotta colored clay tile roof are consistent with most facilities in the inner compound at DET Norco. During the 1950s, the facility was converted to a military ordnance testing facility.

Later, it transitioned into an IT center in the 1970s, and has remained in that function ever since.

Attachment A

Ser N45/020

2 The building is currently in use with limited sustainment investment since the 1990s. Many of the facility components are past or approaching their service life. Building 509 has had no significant renovations completed, with the exception of roof repairs, since it was converted to an IT center. Also, due to its age, the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system is poorly configured, and the restrooms and break areas are in substandard condition. The recent relocation of equipment formally housed in Building 509 created an opportunity to renovate and convert the vacated space into workstations for approximately 70 personnel. Current staff load in the facility is approximately 40 individuals with personnel inefficiently distributed throughout the facility.

The structure of the facility does not meet current seismic requirements. The fire system is past its life cycle. There are water infiltration issues in the porches that need to be addressed structurally and potentially through grading. Due to the original design that included open porches, the ceiling height in the porches (now enclosed) is extremely low for modern office purposes. This low ceiling height within the former porches does not allow for drop ceilings at a standard nine-foot height, which also inhibits upgrades to HVAC and lighting.

The renovation would provide for a combination of private offices, typical workstations, and lab space. Required repairs to the facility include but are not limited to: a) hazardous materials abatement for lead, asbestos, scat, and mold; b) replacement of all windows and doors with new windows and exterior doors that conform to Anti-Terrorism Force Protection (ATFP) standards; c) insulation of walls and ceiling; d) renovation of the restrooms, breakrooms, and support spaces; e) replacement of all finishes, including carpet, tile, and drop ceilings; f) replacement of exterior stucco; g) interior and exterior paint; h) providing new utilities and systems within the facility to the point of connection, including electrical, plumbing, telephone, and data infrastructure; i) conversion of the HVAC system to a high efficiency zoned system; j) modernizing the fire protection system; k) providing emergency lighting to meet current code requirements; and l) replacement of the clay tile roof.

The proposed undertaking would also include raising the roof structure to accommodate administrative functions of the former porches and make spaces more usable (e.g., HVAC, lighting, and insulation). The new minimum ceiling height would be nine feet. The project would provide high ceilings to allow deeper daylight penetration, and promote natural daylight into the workspace for overall occupant well-being.

The mechanical yard to the north of the facility is cluttered with small buildings, current equipment, obsolete equipment, and utility and network connections. This area ponds during rain events and traps water against the buildings. Site drainage is through surface flow and a concrete v-gutter to then north. The south and east sides are predominantly composed of concrete paving and flows to the east and south. The proposed undertaking would create a watertight environment for the entire facility by modifying the slab, and re-grading the areas surrounding Building 509 to eliminate water intrusion through the existing enclosed porches.

The proposed undertaking would also clean up and create a new consolidated mechanical yard that would provide Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) compliant screening for visual concealment.

3 The new mechanical yard would also consolidate utility connections to Building 509 (currently, there are multiple power connection points).

Existing turf and irrigation around the facility would be replaced with xeriscape landscape design and irrigation. The proposed undertaking would also provide for exterior informal congregation space by installing pavements/pavers and seating.

Concept designs for the renovated Building 509 facility are provided in enclosure (2). b. Area of Potential Effects
Consistent with 36 CFR 800.16(d), the APE for this project is defined as the geographic area within which the proposed undertaking may directly or indirectly cause effects to historic properties. The APE includes a buffer on Building 509 and the mechanical yard to the north of the facility to accommodate the movement of equipment, machinery, and materials necessary to demolish and construct the renovated building. Existing paved parking lots and previously disturbed areas would be utilized for equipment laydown and staging areas. A map of the APE is provided in enclosure (3).
c. Identification of Historic Properties
The APE was intensively surveyed for archaeological resources by Statistical Research, Incorporated in 2023. No archaeological resources were identified within the APE.

The proposed undertaking is approximately 600 feet east of the Lake Norconian Club Historic District, as shown in enclosure (1). The Lake Norconian Club Historic District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 2000. In 2011, ASM Affiliates (ASM) evaluated the NRHP eligibility of 73 buildings, structures, and landscape elements at DET Norco as individual sites and as potential historic districts. ASM produced a site-specific historic context divided into three potential periods of significance: 1) the Lake Norconian Club (1927-1941); 2) Naval Hospital (1941-1949; 1951-1957); and 3) Naval Research, Development, Testing, and Evaluation Laboratories (1951-1989) (Pumphrey et al. 2011). Based on recommendations made by Pumphrey and others (2011), Building 509 is not a contributing element of a historic district, and has been determined to be individually ineligible for listing on the NRHP. In 2014, the State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) concurred with the Navy’s determination that Building 509 is not eligible for listing on the NRHP at the state, local, or national level of significance under any applicable criteria (USN101129B).
d. Finding of Effect
Pursuant to 36 CFR 800.4 (d)(1), the Navy has made the determination that no historic properties will be affected by the proposed undertaking.

Consistent with 36 CFR 800.4(d)(1)(i), the Navy respectfully requests your comments within 30 days of receipt of this letter. Please contact Scott Mattingly at (562) 626-6067, or

1) Build a new building to the North/ East or to the South adjacent to the existing cluster of buildings to meet today’s needs for a purpose-built IT Facility without demolishing Building 509.
2) Utilize another facility on another site for the IT Facility and continue to maintain building 509 and the surrounding buildings in their historic state. 3) Keep the existing shell of the building and retrofit it structurally to meet seismic and water penetration needs. Provide grading around the existing building that would not damage the existing structure and footing but would direct water away from the existing building. If the existing shell (exterior) of the building is preserved the interior can be gutted and full abatement and modernization can occur on the interior. This solution would maintain the exterior historical character of the building and keep the continuity between building 509 and surrounding buildings. This is called adaptive re-use.

Overall Comments on New Design:
1) The overall design of the new building does not match the language of the existing surrounding buildings. It does not compliment the overall architectural language of the existing cluster of surrounding buildings. It does not blend in with the existing site.
2) The scale of the new building does not match the surrounding buildings. The height is too tall.
3) The new roof overhang of 12”-18” does not match the existing roof overhang of building 509 and surrounding buildings. Roof Slope and overhang should match existing and surrounding buildings.
4) Where are the Cupulas on the New Building? The Existing building and surrounding buildings have small chimney’s / cupulas that are part of the architectural design of the existing buildings.

Michelle Heasley Comments
Thank you for sharing your plans for Building 509 with the City of Norco and being open to feedback regarding the new design of the building. After carefully looking at photos of the existing site, building and adjacent buildings I have concluded that the proposed design does not appear to be the appropriate scale and design for the existing site. Please see my thoughts on alternative options and overall design comments below.

Alternative options:

Page 132 of 494 ends

5) Where is the Reflected Ceiling Plan for the building? Why can we not see the ceiling heights in each space?
6) Why is there a need to go up +8”-16” with ramps in the new construction? Could the floor height be contained at +0” and equipment be placed underground in that area to keep the roof from being raised? This would remove the need for ramps on interior as well.
7) Can the ceiling be open to the underside of structure with exposed fire sprinklers and HVAC vents to fix the low ceiling issues within the building instead of dropped hard lid or acoustic ceiling tiles? Many oFice spaces are now open to above. Vertical mechanical duct shafts can be used to get ventilation to existing spaces with low ceiling heights. The use of mini split systems that are ductless are also an option for rooms with low ceilings without raising the overall building height. An open to structure ceiling would potentially allow the building not to have the overall height raised and can potentially help save the existing structure.
8) The proposed aluminum storefront window system and louvers on the West side of the building does not match the current architectural language of the existing building and surrounding buildings that will remain. Having this much glazing on the Western elevation will not be eFicient and will result in a demand for larger scale HVAC system. I would suggest this design feature be re-thought. 9) The modern metal entry canopies do not match the language of the existing building or the surrounding buildings. I would suggest this design feature be redesigned.
10) The new design has windows in the mother’s room and the restrooms. This is not typical for privacy and security. The renderings have people gathering right outside the mother’s room.
11) The 3D rendering does not match the floor plan leaving the window for the “Team Room 1” out.

Sincerely,
Michelle Heasley

Hello Lisette, Julie and Bill,
Relative to the action from the April 14 meeting, please find below my thoughts and recommendations regarding the renovation of NWSC Building 509.

It seems to me as thought the Navy has gone directly to a solution rather than a going through a process of identifying the requirements, assessing opportunities and alternatives, and then developing the solution, This process would normally include:

Documenting what the requirements are, what does the function of the building or mission or objectives require? These would include:

I Number of personnel, offices, meeting rooms etc. that are required to ?t in the new building I Electrical requirements, not only for standard lighting etc, but for computing, lab and other technical needs.

I HVAC considerations, again unique cooling for server farms, labs, etc.

I Other special needs such as special mou ings for antennas, server racks etc.

I Special building requirements for a classIerd or secure fac ty I etc.

Based on these requirements, has there been any sort of analysis of alternatives conducted? I Is there any other building or unused segment of an existing building that could potentially meet the requirements.

I Ifthere are no other buildings available, is there an area of available unused land where a facility could be built?
I Based on the answer(s) to the above, has a cost trade been performed. What would be the cost of modifying another non-heritage building. What would be the cost of building a whole new building from the ground up on a new plot of land, what is the cost of renovating building 509?
oThese costs could vary signi?cantly since one could require minor mods, one would be a new build without teardown costs (clean sheet approach), and the other (building 509 renovation) could have signi?cant cost drivers including asbestos removal, signi?cant new power requirements and classi?ed / SCIF build which would be signi?cant.

I Once an assessment of alternatives based on requirements and a cost trade has been complete, then it seems the Navy would be in a better position to move forward with the build, possibly something other than Building 509.

Just my quick thoughts and two cents. I would imagine it's all kind of moot, since the building wasn't added to the historical preservation list and is now owned by the Navy and they‘re going to pretty much move forward.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Dan Letbetter

Re: Proposed Building 509 Demolition and Reconstruction Thank you for giving the City of Norco an opportunity to comment on the proposed replacement of Building 509 in the inner compound of Naval Weapons Station, Norco.

We strongly oppose this undertaking. To begin with, we are working with an attorney who has opined that the entire former Naval Hospital Corona property is actually on the National Register due to the Navy’s having missed a key deadline for comment. We are currently working with the Keeper of the National Register to acknowledge this finding and formally list the entire Naval Hospital Corona property on the National Register of Historic Places. We believe the property on which Building 509 is located should be treated as a historic resource on the expanded Lake Norconian Club National Register Historic District.

In regard to the proposed undertaking, we find the proposed building to be completely out of scale and architecturally incompatible with the balance of the inner compound and the National Register Historic District overall.

We request that the Navy:

1. Redraw the undertaking plans to contain all aspects of the proposed use of Building 509 to the interior of the existing leaving the exterior of the building unaltered.

2. If Recommendation 1 is not feasible, either:
a. Build a new building to accommodate the proposed building functions elsewhere on the Weapons Station campus, utilizing an architectural style and scale that is compatible with the other 500 series buildings on the campus; or
b. Build a building on another Navy property to accommodate the proposed building functions.

3. If Recommendation 1 or 2a are chosen, return the revised undertaking to the Historic Preservation and Agricultural Heritage Commission for its review and comments.

Sincerely,
Robin Grundmeyer

STAFF REPORT
Date: June 3, 2026 Agenda Item:

6.A.

To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Joshua Calhoun, Finance Director
Prepared By: Joshua Calhoun, Finance Director
Department: Human Resources
SUBJECT:

Presentation on City Vacancies and Recruitment/Retention Efforts RECOMMENDATION:

Open the Public Hearing, hear public testimony, and receive and file presentation on City vacancies and recruitment/retention efforts.

SUMMARY:

This item is presented to the City Council for information only in compliance with Assembly Bill 2561 and Government Code §3502.3.

BACKGROUND:

Assembly Bill (AB) 2561 added Government Code (GC) §3502.3 to the Meyers-MiliasBrown Act (MMBA), imposing new obligations on public agencies related to tracking and presenting information on job vacancies. AB 2561 declares that job vacancies in local government are a widespread and significant problem for the public sector, and that job vacancies may undermine labor relations between public agencies and their employees.

AB 2561 requires that, on an annual basis, public agencies assess and address vacancy rates to help avoid the negative effects of understaffing on the delivery of public services as well as on public employees.

Under GC § 3502.3, public agencies must now do the following:

1. Track job vacancies at the agency;

2. Present information on the status of the vacancies (such as information on the number of posted job openings, candidates interviewed, eligibility lists created, conditional offers made, etc.) and the agency’s recruitment and retention efforts.

An agency must present this information at a public hearing before the agency’s governing body at least once per fiscal year. If an agency will adopt an annual or

Page 136 of 494 ends

multiyear budget in a given year, the public hearing must occur prior to the governing body adopting the agency’s budget; and

3. Identify, during the public hearing, any policies, procedures, and recruitment activities that may present obstacles in the agency’s hiring process and potential changes that may alleviate such obstacles.

These affirmative obligations apply to all public agencies subject to the MMBA, even if the agency does not have any represented employees. However, if the agency has a represented workforce, the new law entitles recognized employee organizations to make a presentation at the public hearing when the agency makes its presentation; however, it is not required.

In addition to the requirements described above, if the vacancy rate in a bargaining unit is at least 20% of the total number of authorized full-time positions, the employee organization that represents the bargaining unit may request that the agency present additional information at the public hearing. As shown in the City's Vacancies section below, this 20% threshold was not met for the Norco General Employees' Association (NGEA) or the Utility Workers Union of America, Local 606 (UWUA) bargaining units.

Because their vacancy rates fell below the 20% threshold, these additional requirements do not apply for the reported period.

City Vacancies
As of May 15, 2026, the City has fifteen (15) vacancies among the 87 full-time positions authorized by the City Council in the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Annual Operating Budget.

This reflects a vacancy rate of 21 percent across the City. In compliance with GC §3502.3, Norco General Employees' Association (NGEA) currently has a 19 percent vacancy rate (six (6) vacancies), the Utility Workers Union of America, Local 606 (UWUA, Local 606) has an 18 percent vacancy rate (one (1) vacancy), MidManagement, Professional, Confidential Personnel has an 26 percent vacancy rate (eight (8) vacancies) and the Management currently has a 0 percent vacancy rate.

To mitigate the operational impacts of vacancies on service delivery and staff workload, the City has continued its efforts to streamline the hiring process. The Human Resources Division tracks recruitment timelines from the initial recruitment opening date through the candidate’s acceptance of the position. The average number of days to fill vacancies is as follows:
 FY 2021-22 = 91 days
 FY 2022-23 = 85 days
 FY 2023-24 = 90 days
 FY 2024-25 = 74 days
 FY 2025-26 = 88 days (through May 15, 2026)
Additionally, the Human Resources Division closely monitors employee separations and turnover trends within the City. Employees who leave the City generally fall into one of three separation categories: voluntary, involuntary, or retirement. The table below provides an overview of the City's turnover trends over the past three fiscal years.

Separation Reason FY 22-23 FY 23-24 FY 24-25

Avg. Number of
Employees 85 85 87
Turnover Rate 14% 15% 21%*
*Overall agency vacancy rate does not trigger advanced disclosure requirements as the affected employment groups are unrepresented.

Recruitment and Retention Efforts
To efficiently fill vacancies and retain top talent, the Human Resources Division employs a proactive strategy, continuously refining its recruitment and retention efforts as needed. Recent enhancements to the hiring process include the implementation of NEOGOV Insight, which provides applicants with a seamless and user-friendly

Page 138 of 494 ends

application experience; the use of targeted advertising channels to attract highly qualified candidates.

The City is committed to employee retention through a comprehensive approach that prioritizes competitive total compensation, work-life balance and a positive workplace culture. We invest in continuous learning opportunities to support long-term employee development. Competitive compensation and comprehensive benefits ensure our team members feel valued and supported. Additionally, Human Resources is continually working on improving the onboarding process through NEOGOV Onboard, comprehensively introducing new employees to the City of Norco's culture, clearly outlining their role and responsibilities, and providing necessary training.

6.B.

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

Approval of the City of Norco 2025 Water Shortage Contingency Plan and Urban Water Management Plan
RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt Resolution 2026-52, approving the City of Norco 2025 Water Shortage Contingency Plan; Adopt Resolution 2026-44, approving the City of Norco 2025 Urban Water Management Plan
SUMMARY:

The California Water Code requires urban water suppliers within the State to prepare and adopt a Water Shortage Contingency Plan (WSCP) and an Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) for submission to the California Department of Water Resources (DWR). The 2025 UWMP and WSCP are due to the DWR no later than July 1, 2026.

BACKGROUND:

The Urban Water Management Planning Act (UWMPA), Section 10610 - 10656 of the California Water Code requires urban water suppliers within the State of California to prepare and adopt UWMPs for submission to the DWR. The UWMPs, which are required to be filed every five (5) years, must satisfy the requirements of the UWMPA of 183 including amendments that have been made to the Act. The UWMPA requires urban water suppliers servicing 3,000 or more connections, or supplying more than 3,000 acre-feet of water annually, to prepare and submit a UWMP prior to July 1, 2026.

The 2025 UWMP provides information on the City's water supply and demand forecasts, water supply reliability analysis, WSCP, and other ongoing activities to ensure adequate water supply for existing and future demands. The draft 2025 UWMP also summarizes the status of the City's water demand management measures (also known as best management practices) and includes the required SB X7-7 analysis.

Page 140 of 494 ends

Completion of a UWMP is required in order for a water supplier to be eligible for DWR administered state grants, loans and drought assistance.

The following is an overview of each of the key issues addressed in the City's draft 2025 UWMP:

Sources
Current and future potable and recycled water supplies have been provided in the 2025 UWMP. The City evaluated the availability of these supplies to meet demands over time under various hydrological conditions to assess the overall water supply reliability.

The City's sources currently available and planned supplies are sufficient to meet the long-standing City Council desire of a water supply reliability goal of meeting 100 percent of demand in normal years and a minimum of 85 percent of demand during drought.

Shortages
The UWMP is required to included plans for addressing water supply shortages. While not bound to the plans, the City Council, by adopting the UWMP, formally presents options that would be considered during a shortage. The plan reflects the City's recent experience with the 2020 water conservation measures by incorporating options such as implementing specific water use prohibitions and the consideration of temporary conservation pricing. Water shortage stages are presented to achieve up to a 50% reduction in water use as required by the UWMPA. In any future shortages, the special circumstances of the situation would be taken into consideration in any response.

Conservation
The UWMP reaffirms the City's commitment to conservation to reduce long term water demand incrementally over time. Water conservation is an integral component of the City's plans to reduce potable water demands and add new program elements and adjusting exiting program elements to improve cost effectiveness and increase savings.

Conservation programs are implemented throughout the City's retail service area with partnerships with Wester Water and the Metropolitan Water District.

Recycled Water
The UWMP is consistent with the City's desire to implement recycled water projects that are cost effective and are consistent with appropriate customer use, legal, public health, and environmental requirements. The 2025 UWMP demonstrates how the City has worked cooperatively with the Western Riverside County Regional Wastewater Authority (WRCRWA) and other regional water agencies to encourage and optimize current and future recycled water use. The City of Norco does not currently utilize recycled water. However, projected uses of recycled water include deliveries to regional agencies under future agreements for direct re-use, provide water to Lake Norconian, and potential use by Caltrans along Interstate 15.

SB X7-7

Page 141 of 494 ends

SB X7-7 requires the City to include in the UWMP a 20x2020 evaluation to establish the City's baseline per capita water use, an interim 2015 target and compliance, and a final 2020 target to achieve a 20 percent reduction in per capita water use. As required by the UWMP guidelines, the City included its 20x2020 analysis based on the latest census data. The City's interim 2015 target per capita water use was determined to be 336 gallons per capita per day (gpcd), and a 2020 target of 267 gpcd. As a result of state mandated water conservation requirements and the success of the City's Water Conservation programs, the City's actual 2020 per capita use was 151.2 gpcd, well below the final 2020 target.

Plan Submittal Process

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
2025 URBAN WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN
The Urban Water Management Plan Act requires water agencies to document their long-term resource planning responsibilities to ensure adequate water supplies are available to meet existing and future demands. The City of Norco has prepared its 2025 UWMP in accordance and compliance with the UWMPA. A brief summary of the report contents is provided below.

1. CHAPTER 1 – INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW
The City currently serves approximately 7,960 municipal connections and delivers approximately 6,700 acre-feet (AF) of drinking water annually to its customers. In accordance with the CWC, the City is considered an urban water supplier and is required to prepare an UWMP every five years. In addition to the City’s UWMP preparation efforts, the City is actively involved in other regional efforts regarding water supply planning and groundwater basin management. The City is an Appropriative Pool member of the adjacent Chino Basin, overlies the Temescal Water Basin, and participates in the management and planning of these groundwater sources.

2. CHAPTER 2 – PLAN PREPARATION
This document was prepared to meet all the requirements of the UWMP and can be read as a stand-alone document. The 2025 UWMP standardized tables provided by DWR are included in the main body of the document. The City prepared this 2025 UWMP as an individual retailer to report data solely within its service area. The City coordinates with other water supply agencies in the region regarding water supply reliability, groundwater management activities, and recycled water generated from the WRCRWA wastewater treatment facility.

The City’s fiscal year starts on July 1 and ends on June 30 of the following year. Therefore, 2025 represents the City’s fiscal year from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025. The City reports all water volumes in units of AF consistently throughout the 2025 UWMP.

3. CHAPTER 3 – SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The City of Norco (City) was incorporated in 1964 and has a service area of approximately 15 square miles, located in the northwestern portion of Riverside County. The land use is primarily residential, with small portions of commercial and industrial. The City of Norco is approaching build out with a nominal percentage of vacant land.

The City’s population growth over the past 10 years has slowed significantly compared to growth seen in the previous two decades. The City’s population is currently estimated at approximately 25,800. The projected population for 2045 is 28,900, which is approximately 12 percent higher than the current 2025 service area population of 25,800.

City of Norco

4. CHAPTER 4 – WATER USE CHARACTERIZATION
The City owns and operates a potable domestic drinking water system and wastewater collection system within the City’s boundaries. The service area consists of approximately 15 square miles in western Riverside County, within the Santa Ana River Watershed. The City is a member agency of the Chino Desalter Authority (“CDA”), a Joint Powers Authority. The City is an appropriator in the Chino Basin and a part of the Chino Basin Judgement. The City is also a member of the Western Riverside County Regional Wastewater Authority (“WRCRWA”), a Joint Powers Authority. The City has groundwater wells in both the Temescal and Chino water basins. The City purchases reverse osmosis treated water from the Chino Desalter Authority, the Arlington Desalter, and the City of Riverside. The City can also purchase imported treated water from Western Municipal Water District through a metered connection to the City of Corona.

The City has meters on all accounts and plans to install meters on all future connections. The water use from these metered connections is tracked by land use sector and reported in the UWMP for past, present, and future conditions. The water usage is broken down into single family residential, multi-family residential, commercial, industrial, institutional/governmental, landscape, and distribution system water loss categories. Future water use projections are provided in five year increments from 2030 to 2050 and indicate a gradual increase in water usage, consistent with slow population growth projected within the service area. An initial reduction in water usage in comparison to previous years is in large part due to the closing of the CRC which has historically had up to 3,000 inmates.

5. CHAPTER 5 – SB X7-7 BASELINES, TARGETS, AND 2020 COMPLIANCE The Water Conservation Bill of 2009 requires individual retail water suppliers to set water conservation targets for 2015 and 2020 to support the overall state goal of reducing urban potable per capita water use by 20 percent by 2020. The City’s baselines and targets were calculated pursuant to the 2025 UWMP Guidebook to be consistent with the fiscal year data used throughout the UWMP and to incorporate 2025 Census data. In the 2025 UWMP, the City confirms its water use targets, demonstrates compliance with its water use target for the year 2020, and shows that the City achieved its 2020 target.

6. CHAPTER 6 – WATER SUPPLY CHARACTERIZATION
The City’s service area and distribution system overlies the Temescal Groundwater Basin, with a small portion of the service area overlying the southern end of the Chino Groundwater Basin.

The Chino Groundwater Basin is an adjudicated basin, managed by the Chino Basin Watermaster. The City is a member of the Appropriative Pool in the Chino Basin. The majority of the City’s groundwater supplies are pumped from the Temescal and Chino groundwater basins. Water purchased by the City from the Chino Desalter Authority is extracted from the Chino groundwater basin. Water purchased by the City from the Arlington Desalter is extracted from the Arlington groundwater basin.

The City of Norco has entered into an agreement with the City of Riverside to purchase approximately 1,500 gpm of potable drinking water on an as-needed basis. The City's

Page 151 of 494 ends

Urban Water Management
Plan
City of Norco
imported water is supplied by MWD and purchased through WMWD, a member agency of MWD. The City’s imported water supply consists of treated water supplied via the Mills Pipeline from MWD’s Henry J. Mills filtration plant to the City of Corona, then wheeled through a metered connection to the City of Norco.

7. CHAPTER 7 – WATER SUPPLY RELIABILITY AND DROUGHT RISK ASSESSMENT The UWMPA requires that the UWMP address the reliability of the agency’s water supplies.

This includes supplies that are vulnerable to seasonal or climatic variations. In addition, an analysis must be included to address supply availability in a single dry year and in multiple dry years. The 2025 UWMP evaluates projected supplies and water uses over a 20 year period during normal, single dry, and multiple dry years. The development of numerous local and regional water supply sources, in addition to water conservation efforts allow the City to meet projected water demands over the next 20 years under normal and dry year scenarios.

8. CHAPTER 8 – WATER SHORTAGE CONTINGENCY PLAN
The UWMPA requires that the City has an urban water shortage contingency analysis that includes stages of action to be undertaken in the event of water supply shortages, a draft water shortage contingency resolution or ordinance, prohibitions, consumption reduction methods and penalties; an analysis of revenue and expenditure impacts and measures to overcome these impacts, actions to be taken during a catastrophic interruption, and a mechanism for measuring water use reduction. In response to the severe drought of 2012-2016, new legislation in 2018 created a WSCP mandate replacing the water shortage contingency analysis under former law.

Norco Municipal Code Chapter 14.04.220 - Emergency Water Conservation Program details the City’s current water conservation rules and water shortage contingency plan. The City’s water conservation ordinance identifies five stages of restrictions depending on drought conditions. The restrictions range from voluntary measures in Stage I that are anticipated to reduce water use by up to 10 percent to measures in Stage V that are anticipated to reduce water use by up to 50 percent.

9. CHAPTER 9 – DEMAND MANAGEMENT MEASURES
The City actively encourages community participation in its water conservation efforts per City Municipal Code Chapter 18.55 – Water Efficient Landscaping. BMPs are water conservation practices that have been identified by the California Urban Water Conservation Council, conferences, BMP workshops, free publications, research regarding water management practices, leadership legislation, and networking with other agencies and special interest groups. The City has attempted to institute and comply with all BMPs where applicable. The UWMP outlines water conservation programs and BMPs currently implemented and planned by the City.

10.CHAPTER 10 – PLAN ADOPTION, SUBMITTAL, AND IMPLEMENTATION During the preparation of this UWMP, the City notified regional water suppliers and cities that provide water of its UWMP preparation and public hearing date, 60 days prior to the public hearing. The public hearing was held at a regular City Council meeting on June 3, 2026 at 7:00 p.m. located at the City of Norco City Council chambers. The adoption of the plan occurred following the public hearing. The final 2025 UWMP was provided electronically to DWR, California State Library, and the adjacent water agencies that were notified of its preparation.

Water Code Section 10608.12
(p) "Urban retail water supplier" means a water supplier, either publicly or privately owned, that directly provides potable municipal water to more than 3,000 end users or that supplies more than 3,000 acre-feet of potable water annually at retail for municipal purposes. (r) "Urban wholesale water supplier," means a water supplier, either publicly or privately owned, that provides more than 3,000 acre-feet of water annually at wholesale for potable municipal purposes.

CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW
The City’s 2025 Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) was prepared in compliance with the Urban Water Management Planning Act (UWMPA), as amended by Assembly Bills 2661, 1869, 11X, and 2067; Senate Bills 1420 and 1036; and the Water Conservation Act of 2009. The City’s 2025 UWMP includes all information necessary to meet the requirements of California Water Code (CWC), Division 6, Part 2.6.

1.1 Background and Purpose
The City currently serves approximately 7,960 municipal connections and delivers approximately 6,700 acre-feet (AF) of drinking water annually to its customers. In accordance with the CWC, the City is considered an urban water supplier and is required to prepare an UWMP every five years. The 2025 UWMP meets the CWC requirements and applicable laws outlined below.

The California Water Code requires urban water suppliers within the state to prepare and adopt UWMPs for submission to the California Department of Water Resources (DWR). The UWMPs, which must be filed every five (5) years, must satisfy the requirements of the UWMPA of 1983 including amendments that have been made to the Act. The UWMPA requires urban water suppliers servicing 3,000 or more connections, or supplying more than 3,000 AF of water annually, to prepare an UWMP. The purpose of the UWMP is to maintain efficient use of urban water supplies, continue to promote conservation programs and policies, ensure that sufficient water supplies are available for future beneficial use, and provide a mechanism for response during drought conditions. This report, which was prepared in compliance with the California Water Code, and as set forth in the guidelines and format established by DWR, constitutes the City’s 2025 UWMP.

Water planning is an essential function of water suppliers but becomes critical as California continues to be challenged with periodic drought conditions and expected long-term climate changes. There is no substitute for water planning at the local water supplier level. Local suppliers have the knowledge and ability to consider and understand the unique circumstances of each individual agency. With the understanding of their individual agency, they can provide for participation by the community, and tailor the planning to local conditions. The UWMPA has been modified over the years in response to the State’s water shortages, droughts, and other factors. A significant amendment was made in 2009, after the drought of 2007-2009 and as a

result of the governor’s call for a statewide 20 percent reduction in urban water use by the year 2020. This was the Water Conservation Act of 2009, also known as SB X7-7. This Act required agencies to establish water use targets for 2015 and 2020 that would result in statewide savings of 20 percent by 2020.

1.2 UWMP 2020 Review
A review of the City of Norco’s 2020 UWMP shows that its 2025 water demands were projected to be 7,425 acre feet (actual production was 6,692 acre feet). The City continued to implement water conservation BMPs specified by the NMC. Since the preparation of the 2020 UWMP, the City has made a number of changes related to the water system including:
• Added two 1.0 million gallon reservoirs (Reservoirs 8 and 9) • Arsenic, Iron, and Manganese treatment plant upgrades • Added two boosters at treatment plant
• Upgraded Reservoir 1 from 2.0 to 3.0 million gallons
• Added a Turnout from the City of Riverside
• Moved three wells to inactive status (Wells 12, 14, 15)

1.3 Urban Water Management Planning and the California Water Code This section summarizes the CWC sections applicable to UWMPs, changes to the code since the completion of the 2020 UWMPs, and the Water Conservation Act of 2009.

1.3.1 Urban Water Management Plan Act of 1983
In 1983, State Assembly Bill (AB) 797 modified the California Water Code Division 6, by creating the UWMPA. Several amendments to the original UWMPA introduced since 1983 have increased the data requirements and planning elements to be included in the 2005 and 2010 UWMPs.

Since the 2010 UWMP, the Act was amended by AB 2067 and Senate Bill (SB) 1420, both signed by Governor Brown on September 19, 2014. AB 2067 expands the requirements for water demand management measures, including requiring retail water suppliers to discuss each measure implemented over the past 5 years and those planned for the future to help achieve water use targets. SB 1420 requires that plans be submitted electronically, include standardized forms and/or tables specified by DWR, include quantification and reporting on distribution system water loss, and, when available, have water use projections account for estimated water savings from adopted codes, standards, ordinances, transportation and land use plans.

Another Senate Bill, SB 1036, also signed by Governor Brown on September 19, 2014, stipulates that urban water suppliers should include certain energy-related information (e.g., an estimate of the amount of energy used to extract or divert water supplies).

Initial amendments to the UWMPA required that total projected water use be compared to water supply sources over the next 20 years, in 5-year increments. Recent DWR guidelines also

suggest projecting through a 25-year planning horizon to maintain a 20-year timeframe until the next UWMP update has been completed and for use in developing Water Supply Assessments. Although the 2025 UWMP is considered an update to a Supplier’s previous UWMP, the 2025 UWMP is prepared as an independent document. The 2025 UWMPs provide additional framework for long term water planning and inform the public of a supplier’s plans for long-term resource planning that ensures adequate water supplies for existing and future demands. This UWMP requires urban water suppliers to report, describe, and evaluate, water deliveries and uses, water supply sources, efficient water uses, demand management measures, and water shortage contingency planning.

Other amendments require that UWMPs include provisions for recycled water use, demand management measures, and a water shortage contingency plan, set forth therein. Recycled water was added in the reporting requirements for water usage and figures prominently in the requirements for evaluation of alternative water supplies, when future projections predict the need for additional water supplies. Each urban water purveyor must coordinate the preparation of the water shortage contingency plan with other urban water purveyors in the area, to the extent practicable. Each water supplier must also describe their water demand management measures that are being implemented, or scheduled for implementation.

In addition to the UWMPA and its amendments, there are several other regulations that are related to the content of the UWMP. In summary, the key relevant regulations are:
• AB 1420: Requires implementation of demand management measures (DMMs) / best management practices (BMPs) to qualify for water management grants or loans. • AB 1465: Requires water suppliers to describe opportunities related to recycled water use and storm water recapture to offset potable water use. • Amendments Senate Bill (SB) 610, and SB 221, which became effective beginning January 1, 2002, require counties and cities to consider information relating to the availability of water to supply new large developments by mandating the preparation of further water supply planning and Water Supply Assessments. • SB 1087: Requires water suppliers to report single family residential (SFR) and multifamily residential (MFR) projected water use for planned lower income units separately.
• Amendment SB 3185 requires the UWMP to describe the opportunities for development of desalinated water, including but not limited to, ocean water, brackish water, and groundwater, as long-term supply.
• AB 105 requires urban water suppliers to submit their UWMPs to the California State Library
• SB X7-7: Requires development and use of new methodologies for reporting population growth estimates, base per capita use, and water conservation, and requires meeting

the developed water conservation targets in order to qualify for water management grants and loans. This water bill also extended the 2010 UWMP adoption deadline for retail agencies to July 1, 2011.
• Beginning in 2016, retail water suppliers are required to comply with the water conservation requirements in SB X7-7 in order to be eligible for State water grants or loans. Guidance for addressing the requirements of the Act is found in Chapter 5 of the Guidebook and in the Methodologies document. Retail water agencies are required to set targets and track progress toward decreasing daily per capita urban water use in their service area, which will assist the State in meeting its 20 percent reduction goal by 2020.
• SB 1478: This bill was signed on September 23, 2010 and extends the 2010 UWMP deadline for wholesale agencies, such as the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWDSC), to July 1, 2011, as SB X7-7 did for retail agencies.

1.3.2 Applicable Changes to the Water Code since 2020 UWMPs There are some additional requirements passed by the Legislature applicable to the 2025 UWMPs, including the following:

Nonfunctional Turf
The California Legislature has added Section 110 to the Code to identify the use of potable water to irrigate nonfunctional turf as wasteful and incompatible with state policy relating to climate change, water conservation, and reduced reliance on the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta ecosystem. The Legislature directs all appropriate state agencies to encourage and support the elimination of irrigation of nonfunctional turf with potable water.

Urban Water Use Objectives
The standard for indoor residential water use was established at 55 gallons per capita daily until January 1, 2025. Beginning January 1, 2025 and until January 1, 2030, the standard for indoor residential water use shall be 47 gallons per capita daily. Beginning January 1, 2030 the standard for indoor residential water use shall be 42 gallons per capita daily. An urban retail water supplier shall not be subject to enforcement pursuant to this chapter solely for failing to meet the indoor residential use standard.

1.3.3 Water Conservation Act of 2009 (SB X7-7)
On November 10, 2009, the state legislature passed the Water Conservation Bill of 2009 (also referred to as SB X7-7) as a water conservation component to the Delta legislative package.

The bill seeks a 20 percent statewide reduction in urban per capita water use in California by December 31, 2020. SB X7-7 required that each retail agency preparing a 2010 UWMP calculate baseline per capita water use as well as an interim (to be met in the 2015 UWMP) and final (for 2020) water use reduction targets. The methodologies used to calculate both the baseline per capita water use and targets were outlined in the 2010 UWMP guidelines,

1.4 Urban Water Management Plans in Relation to Other Planning Efforts In addition to the City’s UWMP preparation efforts, the City is actively involved in other regional efforts regarding water supply planning and groundwater basin management. The City is an Appropriative Pool member of the adjacent Chino Basin, overlies the Temescal Water Basin, and participates in the management and planning of these groundwater sources, as described briefly below.

1.4.1 Groundwater Management Plan
Historically, the City has developed local groundwater sources to meet its water demands.

Currently, the City utilizes pumped groundwater, purchased treated groundwater, and imported water to meet its demands. The City’s service area and existing active wells overlie the Temescal Groundwater Basin. This groundwater basin is not adjudicated and is managed by the local agencies. The local groundwater producers rely on a regional collaborative effort to collectively work to improve groundwater and to develop local projects that will improve water supply reliability.

The collective agreement between the local agencies to manage the Temescal Basin will be a key accomplishment. The City also owns wells in the Chino Basin which is an adjudicated groundwater basin. These are examples of local projects and alliances that increase water supply reliability and benefit the groundwater basin by reducing reliance on groundwater.

1.5 UWMP Organization
This 2025 UWMP is organized in ten chapters listed below. The chapters are organized in the same order as recommended in the revised 2025 UWMP Guidebook.

Chapter 1 - Introduction and Overview provides an overview of the California Water Code sections applicable to the UWMPs and discusses the importance and extent of the City’s water management planning efforts.

Chapter 2 - Plan Preparation provides information on the City’s process for developing the UWMP, including regional efforts of outreach and coordination with other stakeholder agencies.

Chapter 3 - System Description describes the City’s service area, and climate, the Public Water System, and the City’s organizational structure and history.

Chapter 4 - Water Use Characterization describes and quantifies the current and projected water uses within the City’s service area.

Chapter 5 - SB X7-7 Baselines, Target, and 2020 Compliance describes the methods the City used for calculating the baseline and target water consumption to demonstrate the City has achieved the 2020 water use target.

Chapter 6 - Water Supply Characterization describes and quantifies the current and projected sources of water available to the City. This chapter also includes a description and quantification of potential recycled water uses and supply availability.

Chapter 7 - Water Supply Reliability and Drought Risk Assessment describes the reliability of the City’s water supply and projects the reliability out 20 years, for normal, single dry years and multiple dry years.

Chapter 8 - Water Shortage Contingency Plan provides the City’s staged plan for dealing with water shortages, including a catastrophic supply interruption.

Chapter 9 - Demand Management Measures describes the City’s efforts to promote conservation and to reduce demand on its water supply and addresses several demand management measures.

Chapter 10 - Plan Adoption, Submittal, and Implementation describes the steps taken to adopt and submit the UWMP and to make it publicly available. This chapter also includes a discussion of the City’s plan to implement the UWMP.

A checklist of specific UWMP requirements was developed and is presented in Appendix A to indicate the location where the required element is addressed in the document. Other appendices are provided as appropriate to include relevant supporting materials.

1.6 UWMPs and Grant or Loan Eligibility
Beginning in 2016, retail water suppliers are required to comply with the water conservation requirements in SB X7-7 in order to be eligible for State water grants or loans. Retailer agencies are required to set targets and track progress toward decreasing daily per capita urban water use in their service area. Specifically, this means that agencies must meet their 2015 interim urban water use targets and report compliance in their 2015 UWMP. The City, based on the SB X7-7 worksheets, has verified compliance in 2015 and 2020.

1.6.1 Funding Eligibility for Retail and Wholesale Suppliers In order for an urban water supplier to be eligible for any water management grant or loan administered by DWR, the agency must have a current UWMP on file that has been determined by DWR to address the requirements of the Water Code. A current UWMP must also be maintained by the water supplier throughout the term of any grant or loan administered by DWR.

A UWMP may also be required in order to be eligible for other state funding, depending on the conditions that are specified in the funding guidelines. Suppliers are encouraged to seek guidance on the specifics of any state funding source from the respective funding agencies.

The following sections of the Water Code are pertinent to Suppliers considering pursuit of grants or loans.
