5.B. Discussion on the proposed Demolition of Building 509 on the Naval Weapons Station, Norco Campus.

Bill Wilkman delivered a presentation reporting on the proposed structures.

Mayor Grundmeyer opened public comments. Three speakers addressed the Council.

Sue Bacon stated that the new Building 509 proposal is inconsistent, lacks architectural compatibility, and shows no respect for surrounding historic structures. She emphasized disappointment that Navy representatives did not attend consultation meetings. She supported staff’s recommendation, calling for a redraw/revision and preservation of the property’s historic character.

Diane Markham stated that she found the proposed design for Building 509 to be

Page 12 of 823 ends

City Council Minutes - June 3, 2026
unacceptable, describing it as cold and disconnected from its surroundings. She voiced her concerns that the project could result in a loss of historic integrity, emphasizing the importance of preserving the character and heritage of the property. She requested that the exterior remain unchanged, with modifications confined to the interior, supporting continued respect for the property’s architectural identity.

Michelle Heasley stated that the proposed Building 509 design contains significant flaws and is not compatible with the campus. She characterized the project not as adaptive reuse but as a full demolition without justification. She noted that seismic retrofits are feasible, citing the Navy’s own current retrofit work on other structures. She offered to collaborate directly with Navy design teams despite them being based in Huntsville, Alabama to produce a design that better fits the campus or to identify a more appropriate location for a new building.

Mayor Grundmeyer closed public comments.

Council Member Bash expressed strong frustration with the Navy’s handling of historic buildings on the Norco site, especially Building 509. He said the Navy has repeatedly misrepresented the site’s historic significance, ignored key architectural details, and provided inaccurate information in official documents.

He emphasized that the site is uniquely historic—originally a Navy-built tuberculosis sanitarium designed by a renowned architect—and that the Navy has allowed important structures to deteriorate. Bash called for future Section 106 consultations to include a qualified historian and supported the Commission’s recommendation, thanking Michelle, Bill, and the Commission for their work.

Council Member Sullivan expressed opposition to the proposed building, stating it does not belong at the site. They support keeping the existing building and either restoring it or allowing a different structure elsewhere on the property that would be more appropriate.

Council Member Newton acknowledged and appreciated prior comments, including those on historical concerns. They expanded on issues raised in Commissioner Heasley's letter and expressed strong concern about the Navy’s description of the project. Council Member Newton described the Navy’s justification claiming the existing building cannot meet seismic code and would require major demolition, as misleading and a “smokescreen” to justify demolition. They argued that reusing the foundation does not meaningfully differentiate renovation from new construction in seismic terms. Newton recommended giving full weight to the Historic Commission’s comments and pursuing the matter from that perspective.

Mayor Pro Tem Bowen agreed with Council Member Newton, especially

Page 13 of 823 ends

City Council Minutes - June 3, 2026
regarding the Navy’s claim that the building footprint would be reused. Bowen argued that this is unrealistic because modern seismic requirements will require tearing out and replacing the foundation and footings. They stated that retrofitting the existing structure is feasible as they have done similar work, and that the Navy’s statements are not credible.

Bill Wilkman requested that the letter to the Navy include:

1. A statement that the City of Norco believes the Navy did not act in good faith as required under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act.

2. A requirement that future Section 106 consultations include a qualified historian who can address the historic record, respond to technical questions, and ensure accurate representation of the site’s historic significance.

M/S GRUNDMEYER/BASH To Approve the letter and the parameters which includes a statement that the Navy did not act in good faith and a new requirement that a qualified historian oversee the project to ensure accurate representation. The Motion was carried by the following roll call vote:

AYES: GRUNDMEYER, BOWEN, BASH, NEWTON, AND SULLIVAN
NOES: NONE
ABSENT: NONE
ABSTAIN: NONE
6 PUBLIC HEARING(S)

6.A. Discussion on City Vacancies and Recruitment/Retention Efforts Finance Director Calhoun presented the report.

Council Member Greg Newton clarified that the presentation functioned as a factual update rather than a policy discussion, noting that substantive staffing decisions would occur during upcoming budget workshops. He also wanted confirmation that the “Public Works Manager” vacancy title aligned with a recent reclassification. Additionally, asked how staff responds when a bargaining group approaches the twenty-percent vacancy threshold.

Mayor Grundmeyer asked staff to elaborate on what constitutes a “robust onboarding process,” and whether management coordinates with bargaining groups proactively when vacancy levels begin to rise.

Finance Director Calhoun answered questions and addressed concerns.

Mayor Grundmeyer opened public comments. There were no public comments.

6.B. Public Hearing on the City of Norco 2025 Water Shortage Contingency Plan and Urban Water Management Plan
The Public Works Director, Sam Nelson, presented the report. The City of Norco’s 2025 Urban Water Management Plan shows the city has stable long-term water supplies, even in drought, with projected use rising only slightly by 2050. Most water is purchased, as groundwater use has declined due to new regulations, but overall supply still exceeds demand. Recycled water could help reduce potable use, though infrastructure is limited.

Mayor Grundmeyer opened public comments. There were no public comments.

Mayor Grundmeyer closed public comments.

M/S BASH/NEWTON To Adopt Resolution 2026-52, approving the City of Norco 2025 Water Shortage Contingency Plan. The Motion was carried by the following roll call vote:

Deputy City Manager Hamilton presented the annual updates for Norco’s five Landscape Maintenance Districts, explaining assessment levels, budget conditions, and how general fund contributions are helping stabilize districts with limited reserves. She noted that LMDs 2 and 3 are rebuilding reserves and planning for future improvements like white vinyl fencing, while LMD 4 faces a significant cost increase to begin a multi-year, roughly $1 million slope restoration project along Crestview. LMD 5 continues fencing replacement and irrigation repairs.

Mayor Grundmeyer opened public comments. There were no public comments.

Mayor Grundmeyer closed public comments
Council Member Newton inquired about LMDs and the possible burden on the general fund. He also asked whether the city's share will decrease as districts become financially healthier.

Council Member Bash confirmed with Deputy City Manager that our payments are annual and are broken into 12 payments. Asked if we were getting close to the end of the infrastructure bond.

Deputy City Manager Hamilton answered questions and concerns.

STAFF REPORT
Date: June 17, 2026 Agenda Item:

3.C.

To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Lisette Free, City Manager
Prepared By: Sarah Muro, Emergency Services Assistant
Department: Fire
SUBJECT:

Approval of a Five-Year Extension of the Cooperative Agreement with County of Riverside to Provide Fire Protection, Fire Prevention, Rescue, Fire Marshall and Medical Emergency Services for the City of Norco
RECOMMENDATION:

SUMMARY:

On October 5, 2011, the City Council approved a Cooperative Agreement with the County of Riverside to provide fire protection, fire prevention, rescue, Fire Marshall and medical emergency services. The initial contract ran from January 1, 2012 to June 30, 2013. On July 11, 2013, the City Council extended the terms of the agreement to June 30, 2016. On April 6, 2016, the City Council approved a two-year extension to June 30, 2018. On March 25, 2018, the City Council approved a three-year extension to June 30, 2021. The last extension, which was for five years, was approved by the City Council on April 7, 2021. During the last extension, County of Riverside Emergency Management Department will be under a separate agreement going forward. This extension expires on June 30, 2026, and staff is recommending that City Council approve another fiveyear extension of the agreement through June 30, 2031.

BACKGROUND:

The current Agreement between the City of Norco and the County of Riverside for Fire Protection, Fire Prevention, Rescue and Medical Emergency Services expires June 30, 2026. The recommended new Cooperative Agreement is for five years, from July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2031 with the same scope, terms and conditions. Although, total annual estimated costs for services under this agreement have been provided as Exhibit A, it is important to note that these costs are subject to changes as mutually

Page 18 of 823 ends

agreed between the City and County, depending on the level of services the City desires. It is also important to note that the County provides updated estimated costs at the beginning of each fiscal year and additional revised estimates may be provided during each fiscal year.

To better understand the scope of services, terms and conditions under the proposed agreement, the following attachments have been provided:

Cooperative Agreement: This is the base contract document (including Exhibit A) that provides an overview of the scope of services, cost estimate, terms and conditions. It also provides an overview of the sub-agreements that are part of the Cooperative Agreement such as: Fire Engine Use Agreement; and Fire Marshall Agreement.

Exhibit A: This document provides budget cost estimate under the contract for each of the next five years ending June 30, 2031. Each fiscal year’s cost estimate is broken down by direct personnel costs, support services costs, fire engine use agreement costs and direct billed costs. The total estimated costs for the contract term of five years is $38,058,560. Based on the cost schedule provided, the annual cost increase each year is estimated about 5%.

Exhibit C: Exhibit C is the Fire Engine Use Agreement. Under this agreement the City pays the annual determined amount on a quarterly basis to County Cal Fire for future replacement of two fire engines that the City is required to provide under the contract.

The County estimates that the current cost to replace a fire engine is $1,100,000 and that the estimated useful life is 20 years. The City has agreed to make annual contribution of $110,000 ($55,000 per engine) for the future replacement of each fire engine. In exchange, the County agreed to replace the two engines that the City is required to provide when they come up for replacement. Additionally, the County is responsible for capital improvements and/or betterments to these engines. The cost for ongoing operations and maintenance is included under support services cost listed on Exhibit A.

Exhibit D: This agreement outlines the scope of services from the Office of the Fire Marshal. Under this agreement, the County provides ½ Deputy Fire Marshal and 1 Fire Safety Specialist who provide various fire inspection and fire prevention services for the City of Norco to ensure compliance with applicable laws, codes and regulations concerning protection of life and safety. They also provide administrative services in support of fire prevention and inspection activities.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The total estimated cost (Exhibit A) for FY 2026-2031 is $38,058,560 including the annual contribution for replacement of two (2) fire engines. As previously stated, Cal Fire provides annual estimated cost as part of each fiscal year’s budget. Annual cost estimates also change during the fiscal year based on Cal Fire’s latest estimates of costs. The annual contract amount of this agreement will be included in each fiscal year's operating budget appropriation.

The Fire Engine Use Agreement is utilized in the event that a fire engine(s) which was initially purchased by the CITY, and then the CITY elects to have the COUNTY take responsibility of said fire engine(s). The Fire Engine Use Agreement guarantees the CITY the use of this fire engine(s), the COUNTY network of equipment, and resources of the COUNTY.

This fire engine(s) shall be used as an integrated unit for Fire Services as set forth in this Cooperative Agreement between the COUNTY and CITY, and shall be stationed primarily in the CITY. The change in ownership of the fire engine does not waive or supersede any responsibilities of the CITY pursuant to this agreement. This exhibit is strictly to further detail for the CITY, the responsibilities and costs associated within the Cooperative Agreement between the COUNTY and CITY; therefore, the Fire Engine Use Agreement is inseparable.

The CITY will have the option of transferring title of said fire engine(s) to the COUNTY. If the CITY transfers title of said fire engine(s) to the County, the County will take ownership of the said fire engine(s), and the County will maintain insurance on said fire engine(s). If the CITY opts to maintain ownership and title of said fire engine(s), the CITY will maintain insurance on said fire engine(s). Proof of Insurance is to be provided to the COUNTY.

The COUNTY will ensure a working fire engine(s) is available for the CITY at all times under this agreement. All capital improvements and/or betterments to the

When the Riverside County Fire Department Fleet personnel determine the fire engine(s) listed above is due for replacement, the COUNTY will purchase a new fire engine(s); and, the owner of the old fire engine(s) may survey said fire engine(s) or reallocate as a second roll response fire engine.

The annual cost for this service is calculated at 1/20 of the replacement cost. The current replacement cost is $1,100,000. If this Agreement is entered into mid-year, the annual cost will be prorated accordingly.

The CITY may opt out of this Agreement at any time in writing and the costs will be prorated accordingly by fiscal year. No refunds will be provided for any prior payments. If the fire engine(s) have been titled to the COUNTY and the fire engine(s) are still within their useful life cycle, the ownership will not revert back to the CITY unless the entire Cooperative Agreement is terminated.

STAFF REPORT
Date: June 17, 2026 Agenda Item:

3.D.

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

Approval of a Professional Services Agreement with ClientFirst Technology Consulting for Ongoing IT Management and Technical Assistance
RECOMMENDATION:

Approve Professional Services Agreement with ClientFirst Technology Consulting for Ongoing IT Management and Technical Assistance.

SUMMARY:

The field of Information Technology continues to become increasingly complicated, reducing the ability of any single individual to manage and implement the complex range of projects necessary to continue enhancing the city's IT capabilities. In conjunction with ClientFirst, staff have developed a supplemental support model that utilizes experienced IT managers to prioritize and maintain project momentum and Subject-Matter Experts (SMEs) for technical expertise, guidance, and problem-solving.

In this model, current IT staff and the consulting team jointly work toward project completion, learning additional skills during the process. This methodology has increased the pace of project completion, and staff recommends continuing to develop this supplemental support model under this agreement.

BACKGROUND:

The IT Manager position became vacant in late January 2026. At that time, the city engaged ClientFirst Technology Consulting as Interim IT Manager. The agreement included technical support for staff for problem-solving and highly technical project work.

ClientFirst reviewed the project portfolio, prioritized projects, and assigned staff and consulting resources to those projects.

Staff and ClientFirst consultants have been working together closely, utilizing consultant expertise while leveraging staff to complete projects and resolve problems. Projects completed include:

Page 47 of 823 ends

 Established a very successful weekly meeting cadence that provides clear direction on priorities and next steps to the IT staff.  Implemented a new state-of-the-art telephone system and call distribution mechanism.
 Inventoried and applied cybersecurity certificates to applications in support of continued operations.
 Completed long-delayed server patching.
 Revised computer room space planning, which will allow use of the existing computer room and storage footprint in the expected computer room modeling effort.
 Completed Phase 1 of a computer room clean-up that resulted in filling multiple dumpsters with old boxes and miscellaneous debris.
 FY 2026-27 IT budgeting assistance, documenting expected expenditures, contracts, and identifying potential savings.

Projects in process for the remainder of the 2025-26 fiscal year include:
 Implementation of a new firewall for the Supervisor Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system.
 Implementation of new City Hall firewalls.
 Replacement of a major cybersecurity system that is expected to save the city at least $50,000 per year.
 Audit of telecommunications expenses and disconnects of any unused lines.  Elimination of all copper telecommunications lines in anticipation of AT&T's stated direction to no longer support copper-based telephony.  Phase 2 of the computer room clean-up, which will include a significant eWaste inventory and approval process.
 New UPS installation in the computer room.

Because ClientFirst has implemented a successful IT management methodology, provides superior support for high-priority issues, and is familiar with Norco's information technology and staff, the firm is well-positioned to continue providing ongoing IT management and technical assistance. We expect continued savings as ClientFirst assists staff in reviewing technology expenditures and revising processes to gain efficiency. Additional savings will be gained based on ClientFirst's ability to provide Construction Observation for planned computer room and data cabling improvements.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The total cost of the proposed Professional Services Agreement is not to exceed $188,780. Funding for the proposed agreement will be provided through salary savings generated from currently vacant IT positions.

RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN:

This item is consistent with Strategic Plan Direction No. 5 - "Infrastructure and Asset Management."

Ms. Lisette Free
City Manager
City of Norco

Norco, CA 92860
RE: Proposal for Ongoing IT Management and Technical Assistance FY26-27 Dear Ms. Free:

ClientFirst appreciates the opportunity to present our proposal for Ongoing IT Management for Fiscal Year 2026-27 to the City of Norco. We value the confidence you have placed in us.

For this engagement, we propose to assist with the management of the IT function, providing positive direction to the IT Team, maintaining a consistent focus on high-priority items, improving communication of project status, overseeing critical projects, and coordinating with vendors throughout this agreement. In our current engagement, it has become apparent that ClientFirst's Subject Matter Experts expand the capabilities of Norco IT and improve the delivery of technology services.

Background
The City of Norco engaged ClienFirst Technology Consulting to provide interim IT Management and supplemental support to the IT staff. The ClientFirst team immediately developed a prioritized project portfolio, focused staff on the highest priorities, and began weekly status meetings. ClientFirst consultants advised IT staff on technical matters and, where necessary, provided hands-on technical assistance.

Accomplishments
In the short period ClientFirst has been managing the IT function, the following have been accomplished:
 Established a very successful weekly meeting cadence that provides clear direction on priorities and next steps to the IT staff
 Implemented a new state-of-the-art telephone system and call distribution mechanism  Inventoried and applied cybersecurity certificates to applications in support of continued operations  Completed long-delayed server patching
 Revised computer room space planning, which will allow use of the existing computer room and storage footprint in the expected computer room modeling effort.  Completed Phase 1 of a computer room clean-up that resulted in filling multiple dumpsters with old boxes and miscellaneous debris
Projects in Process
Projects in process for the remainder of the 2025-26 fiscal year include:
 Implementation of a new firewall for the Supervisor Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system  Implementation of new City Hall firewalls
 Replacement of a major cybersecurity system that is expected to save the City at least $50,000 per year
 Audit of telecommunications expenses and disconnects of any unused lines  Elimination of all copper telecommunications lines in anticipation of AT&T's stated direction to no longer support copper-based telephony

Government Technology
Focusing on local governments means we understand the industry's unique needs, processes, protocols, and political nuances. This understanding and experience ensure that our strategies and recommendations are practical. Our management team's career experience includes over 3,500 projects for more than 500 local government agencies.

Local Presence and Practice Locations
We have a local presence with extensive experience in California, and thousands of projects with hundreds of agencies nationwide.

Over 150 California Agencies Served
Business Management Approach
Not all government executives are aware of the latest technological issues and opportunities. Therefore, our approach and deliverables provide a business-management perspective that enables laypeople to understand the technology issues, strategies, and potential solutions required to make more informed business decisions.

Practical Recommendations
We believe in using technology to meet the agency's business objectives; we do not apply technology for its own sake. We are serious in our quest to provide clients with practical solutions that meet their requirements. Sometimes, the proper solution includes cutting-edge technology. However, a cost-effective and practical solution using proven technology is often the most beneficial.

True Independence
ClientFirst believes in practicing true independence. We do not resell products or maintain relationships that would result in add-on profit margins or referral fees. Our focus is on putting the client first by finding optimal solutions (i.e., the greatest value at the lowest competitive cost) to meet their needs.

National Recognition
Many of the industry's leading vendors recognize our consultants nationally for their work. They appreciate the fairness and objectivity we demonstrate when dealing with their organizations.

CIO Review
ClientFirst has been featured in CIO Review as one of the "20 Most Promising Government Technology Solution Providers".

National Speakers
ClientFirst personnel have conducted educational sessions at national and local conferences, including CSMFO, MISAC, GFOA, and more.

ClientFirst has such a broad and wellrounded experience with cities that they already have a good idea of what will or
won't work. Other vendors we have
worked with don't have this depth of
experience and suggest solutions that are
unrealistic in a city government
environment.

City Council

STAFF REPORT
Date: June 17, 2026 Agenda Item:

3.E.

To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Colby Cataldi, Community Development Director
Prepared By: Theresa Brennan, Assistant City Attorney
Department: Community Development
SUBJECT:

Adopt Resolution 2026-61 Declaring Certain City-Owned Real Property to be Exempt Surplus Land Pursuant to Government Code Section 54221(f)(1)(C) in Connection with a Proposed Real Property Exchange with TACRD Investments, L.P.

RECOMMENDATION:

SUMMARY:

The City owns approximately 8.24 acres of real property described and depicted as Parcel 1 on Exhibit B ("City Exchange Property"), which is a portion of Assessor's Parcel Number 121-110-001 located near the southeast corner of Bluff Street and River Road. TACRD Investments, L.P. ("Developer") owns approximately 3.29 acres of real property described and depicted as Parcel 2 on Exhibit B ("Developer Exchange Property"), which is a portion of Assessor's Parcel Number 121-110-003. Exhibit B contains the legal descriptions and survey plat depicting Parcel 1 and Parcel 2.

The City and Developer are evaluating a proposed land exchange pursuant to which the City would convey the City Exchange Property and receive the Developer Exchange Property together with any additional consideration required by the final exchange agreement.

The Surplus Land Act requires a local agency to declare land either surplus land or exempt surplus land prior to disposition. Government Code section 54221(f)(1)(C) provides an exemption for surplus land exchanged for property necessary for the agency's use.

Page 74 of 823 ends

Based upon the Written Plan attached as Exhibit A, the City has determined that the Developer Exchange Property is necessary for City use and operations. Accordingly, staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached Resolution declaring the City Exchange Property to be exempt surplus land pursuant to Government Code section 54221(f)(1)(C).

This action does not approve a land exchange agreement, development project, purchase and sale agreement, subdivision map, or disposition of City property. The purpose of this item is limited to compliance with the Surplus Land Act and to obtain City Council findings that the City Exchange Property qualifies as exempt surplus land pursuant to Government Code section 54221(f)(1)(C). Following City Council action, the City will submit the Resolution, Written Plan, and supporting documentation to HCD for review. Any proposed land exchange agreement, development approvals, subdivision approvals, or other implementing agreements will be presented to the City Council at a future public meeting following completion of the applicable Surplus Land Act review process.

BACKGROUND:

The City owns a parcel identified as APN 121-110-001 that contains existing municipal water facilities, including a water pumping station and reservoir towers, and City will retain the portion of the property improved with those facilities.

The City Exchange Property identified as Parcel 1 on Exhibit B is not necessary for the City's use. The Developer Exchange Property identified as Parcel 2 on Exhibit B is necessary for City use for the reasons set forth in the Written Plan attached as Exhibit A.

Government Code section 54221(b)(1) requires a local agency's governing body to take formal action at a regular public meeting declaring property either surplus land or exempt surplus land, supported by written findings, before the property may be disposed of. Government Code section 54221(f)(1)(C) provides that surplus land exchanged for another property necessary for the agency's use constitutes exempt surplus land.

Adoption of the Resolution is an initial procedural step required under the Surplus Land Act and is not an approval of the proposed development project or land exchange transaction. The Resolution authorizes submission of the City's exemption determination and supporting findings to HCD for review. If the proposed exchange proceeds, the City Council will separately consider the final Purchase and Exchange Agreement, project entitlements, subdivision approvals, environmental review, and any other required approvals at a future public meeting.

The attached Resolution makes the findings required by the Surplus Land Act and authorizes staff to transmit the Resolution, Written Plan, and supporting documentation to HCD. Pursuant to the Surplus Land Act, the City must provide HCD with notice of the exemption determination at least thirty (30) days before any disposition of the property.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Page 75 of 823 ends

Adoption of the Resolution does not itself result in the disposition of City property or approval of a land exchange agreement. Any fiscal impacts associated with the proposed exchange, including appraisal-based valuation, monetary equalization, public improvements, easements, revenue participation, or other considerations, will be addressed through subsequent transaction documents presented to the City Council for approval.

RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN:

This item is consistent with Strategic Direction No. 3 - "Economic Development and Financial Stability" and Strategic Direction No. 5 - "Infrastructure and Asset Management."

conveyance of the City Exchange Property shall remain subject to the City Council’s independent exercise of discretion, completion of all required environmental review, approval of any final exchange agreement, completion of Surplus Land Act review, and satisfaction of all closing conditions; and
WHEREAS, under the Surplus Land Act, Government Code sections 54220 et seq. (“Act”), surplus land is land owned in fee simple by a local agency for which the agency’s governing board takes formal action in a regular public meeting declaring the land surplus and not necessary for the agency’s use; and WHEREAS, under the Act, land is exempt surplus land if it is surplus land that a local agency is exchanging for another property necessary for the agency’s use; and WHEREAS, under the Act, “agency’s use” includes land that is being used, or is planned to be used pursuant to a written plan adopted by the local agency’s governing board, for agency work or operations, including, but not limited to, utility sites, watershed property, land being used for conservation purposes, sites for broadband equipment or wireless facilities, and buffer sites near sensitive governmental uses; and WHEREAS, the City is retaining the portion of APN 121-110-001 improved with existing City water facilities, including a water pumping station and reservoir towers, and has determined that the City Exchange Property identified as Parcel 1 on Exhibit B is not necessary for the City’s use; and

WHEREAS, the Developer Exchange Property is located near Sundance Park, Ted Brooks Park, and a public horse trail, which presents an opportunity for the City to expand or support park, recreation, open-space, and trail uses in this area in a logical manner; and
WHEREAS, the City Council desires to adopt, by this Resolution, the Written Plan for Use of the Developer Exchange Property attached as Exhibit A, which identifies the City’s planned municipal uses for the Developer Exchange Property and supports the City Council’s determination that the City Exchange Property qualifies as exempt surplus land under the Act; and
WHEREAS, the City has obtained appraisal and valuation evidence indicating that the City Exchange Property (Parcel 1) and the Developer Exchange Property (Parcel 2) have different fair market values, and any final exchange agreement shall include monetary equalization, additional consideration, public improvements, easements, access rights, infrastructure, or other public benefits sufficient for the City Council to determine that the exchange, including the property received and any monetary or other consideration, is in the public interest and adequately protects the City; and
WHEREAS, the City will provide this Resolution, the written findings, and supporting documentation to the California Department of Housing and Community Development at least thirty (30) days before any disposition of the City Exchange

Section 1. The above recitals are true and correct and are a substantive part of this Resolution.

The City Manager, City Attorney, City Clerk, and their designees are authorized and directed to submit this Resolution, the written findings, and supporting documentation to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (“HCD”) in accordance with the Surplus Land Act and HCD Guidelines, including the requirement to provide HCD with the resolution, written findings, and supporting documentation for the exemption determination at least thirty (30) days prior to disposition.

Section 6. No final disposition, conveyance, close of escrow, or transfer of the City Exchange Property shall occur unless and until the City has completed all required Surplus Land Act procedures, including HCD submission and review, and has resolved any HCD comments, objections, or notices of violation to the City’s satisfaction.

Section 7. The City Council finds that adoption of this Resolution, standing alone, is not a “project” under the California Environmental Quality Act because it declares the City Exchange Property exempt surplus land and directs submission of the exemption determination to HCD, but does not itself approve physical development or authorize any final disposition of property. Any future approval of a real property exchange agreement, development project, map, or physical use of the properties shall be subject to all required environmental review.

PASSED AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of Norco, California, at a regular meeting held on June 17, 2026.

EXHIBIT A

WRITTEN PLAN FOR USE OF DEVELOPER EXCHANGE PROPERTY
This Written Plan for Use of Developer Exchange Property (“Written Plan”) is adopted by the City Council of the City of Norco pursuant to Government Code section 54221(c) in connection with the City Council’s resolution declaring certain City-owned real property exempt surplus land under the Surplus Land Act.

1. Purpose of Written Plan
The purpose of this Written Plan is to identify the City’s planned municipal use of the real property to be acquired by the City from TACRD Investments, L.P. as part of the proposed real property exchange associated with the JD Ranch project.

The City is considering the exchange of certain City-owned real property identified as a portion of Assessor’s Parcel Number 121-110-001 (“City Exchange Property”) for certain real property owned by TACRD Investments, L.P., identified as a portion of Assessor’s Parcel Number 121-110-003 (“Developer Exchange Property”). The Developer Exchange Property is more particularly described and depicted in Exhibit B to the Resolution.

The City Council adopts this Written Plan to document that the Developer Exchange Property is planned to be used for City agency work, operations, and municipal purposes, and therefore is property necessary for the City’s use within the meaning of Government Code section 54221(c) and Government Code section 54221(f)(1)(C).

2. Property Covered by Written Plan
This Written Plan applies to the Developer Exchange Property to be conveyed to the City as part of the proposed real property exchange.

The final acreage, legal description, and map of the Developer Exchange Property shall be as set forth in Exhibit B to the Resolution and in the final real property exchange agreement approved by the City Council.

If the final configuration of the Developer Exchange Property changes before approval of the final exchange agreement, this Written Plan shall apply to the final property actually conveyed to the City, provided that the City Council finds the final property continues to support the municipal uses described in this Written Plan.

3. Planned City Uses
The City plans to use the Developer Exchange Property for one or more municipal purposes, including the following:
a. Utility and Public Works Support

Page 83 of 823 ends

The Developer Exchange Property may be used to support existing or future City utility and public works operations, including access, maintenance, staging, storage, buffering, and operational support for nearby City water, utility, and public works facilities.

Potential public works and utility-related uses may include, without limitation:

1. access for City personnel, vehicles, equipment, consultants, contractors, and emergency responders;

2. staging and laydown area for maintenance, repair, construction, inspection, or emergency response activities;

3. storage of materials, vehicles, or equipment used for City utility, water, drainage, stormwater, street, trail, park, or public works operations, to the extent compatible with applicable law and surrounding uses;

4. buffering, access, or operational support for nearby City water facilities, reservoirs, pumping facilities, or related infrastructure;

5. potential future expansion, modification, replacement, or relocation of City water, utility, pumping, reservoir, storage, access, or public works facilities, if later determined necessary or appropriate by the City;

6. maintenance access for existing or future City infrastructure; and

7. other public works, utility, maintenance, storage, access, emergency response, or operational uses consistent with City needs.
b. Park, Open-Space, Equestrian Arena, Trail, and Public Recreation Uses The Developer Exchange Property may be used for park, open-space, trail, and public recreation purposes, including expansion, enhancement, connection, maintenance, or support of nearby City parks, trails, and recreation facilities.

Potential park, open-space, trail, and recreation uses may include, without limitation:

1. public open space;

2. passive recreation;

3. equestrian trail connectivity;

4. equestrian arena facility;

5. pedestrian or maintenance access;

6. park expansion or support uses;

7. landscaping, buffering, habitat and open-space enhancement;

Page 84 of 823 ends

8. public trail connections to or between nearby parks, trails, streets, or neighborhoods;

9. support for City recreational programming or maintenance; and

10. other park, open-space, trail, or public recreation uses consistent with the City’s General Plan, municipal operations, and community character. c. Drainage, Stormwater, Access, and Infrastructure Support The Developer Exchange Property may also be used for drainage, stormwater, access, maintenance, or infrastructure-related purposes, including uses needed to support public improvements, park and trail facilities, utility facilities, or other City operations.

Potential infrastructure-related uses may include, without limitation:

1. drainage and stormwater management;

2. access for inspection, repair, maintenance, or emergency response;

3. public infrastructure support;

4. utility, access, maintenance, or public service easements;

5. trail, landscape, drainage, or open-space maintenance; and

6. other municipal infrastructure purposes consistent with City needs.

4. Basis for City Use
The City Council finds that the Developer Exchange Property is suitable and necessary for the City’s planned agency use because of its location, configuration, and relationship to existing and planned City facilities, parks, equestrian arena, trails, public works operations, utility functions, and open-space and recreation opportunities.

The Developer Exchange Property is expected to provide the City with property that better supports identified municipal utility, public works, park, open-space, trail, access, drainage, stormwater, and operational purposes than the City Exchange Property in its current configuration.

The Developer Exchange Property may also provide the City with a logical opportunity to connect, expand, buffer, maintain, or support nearby City facilities, parks, trails, and public infrastructure in a manner consistent with the City’s municipal responsibilities and community character.

Page 85 of 823 ends

5. Implementation
City staff is authorized to implement, refine, and administer this Written Plan in a manner consistent with the Resolution, the final real property exchange agreement, applicable law, City policies, and any future City Council direction.

Implementation may include, without limitation:
• further evaluating appropriate utility, public works, park, open-space, trail, drainage, access, maintenance, or infrastructure uses;
• coordinating among City departments regarding future use, maintenance, access, and operations;
• preparing additional maps, plans, maintenance protocols, or operational guidelines;
• pursuing future improvements or uses consistent with this Written Plan; • accepting, reserving, or recording easements or other property interests needed for City use;
• coordinating with the JD Ranch project conditions, final map, public improvements, or related agreements; and
• returning to the City Council for any additional approvals required by law.

6. No Commitment to Project Approval or Physical Development This Written Plan does not approve any General Plan Amendment, zone change, tentative tract map, final map, development project, environmental document, physical improvement, or real property conveyance.

Any future conveyance of the City Exchange Property, acquisition of the Developer Exchange Property, approval of a real property exchange agreement, approval of project entitlements, or physical use or improvement of the properties shall remain subject to all required City approvals, environmental review, Surplus Land Act compliance, HCD review, title review, appraisal and valuation review, final legal descriptions, closing conditions, and any other requirements of applicable law.

7. Relationship to Surplus Land Act Exemption
The City Council adopts this Written Plan to support its determination that the Developer Exchange Property is planned to be used for City agency work and operations within the meaning of Government Code section 54221(c), and that the City Exchange Property qualifies as exempt surplus land under Government Code section

Page 86 of 823 ends

54221(f)(1)(C) because the City proposes to exchange the City Exchange Property for property necessary for the City’s use.

8. Reservation of City Discretion
Nothing in this Written Plan limits the City Council’s legislative, adjudicatory, proprietary, or regulatory discretion. The City reserves all discretion to approve, deny, modify, condition, or decline any future project approval, exchange agreement, conveyance, property use, improvement, entitlement, environmental document, or implementing action.

STAFF REPORT
Date: June 17, 2026 Agenda Item:

3.F.

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

Approving Multiple Vendors to Provide Waterworks Parts Supplies for Fiscal Year 2026- 27 RECOMMENDATION:

Authorize the City Manager to issue open purchase orders for the waterworks parts supplies in a not-to-exceed cumulative amount of $300,000 for Fiscal Year 2026-27.

SUMMARY:

The Public Works Department previously sought and obtained annual 12-month quotes for waterworks supplies and hardware. However, due to multiple years of supply chain issues, delays and frequent price increases from suppliers, vendors are still unwilling to provide year-long price guarantees. The benefit of annual fixed pricing is likely no longer going to be available going forward and parts will be based on pricing available at the time of need. Public Works is requesting that City Council authorize an open purchase order in the amount not to exceed $300,000 to be split amongst vendors Ferguson Waterworks, Core & Main, Yofire & OC Winwater for fiscal year 2026-27.

BACKGROUND:

The Public Works Department annually seeks 12-month quotes for waterworks supplies and hardware. The goal is to obtain quotes for nearly 300 water works items and each vendor agrees to hold this pricing for the full fiscal year. During fiscal years 2021 though 2023, ongoing material shortages, shipping delays, and fluctuations in pricing resulted in the traditional vendors that reply to the City's requests for quotes unable to provide any guaranteed pricing beyond 30 days. In fiscal years 2024-25 and 2025-26, the supply chain situation for waterworks supplies improved but no vendors would provide price guarantees beyond 30 days.

For fiscal year 2026-27, staff once again requested annual part quotes, but waterworks suppliers are not willing to provide long term pricing (max 90 days). This is likely going

Page 99 of 823 ends

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

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

FISCAL IMPACT:

Funding for the annual purchase of miscellaneous water works parts supplies is included in the proposed FY 2026-27 Water Operations Fund Budget.

RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN:

This item is consistent with Strategic Direction No. 5 - "Infrastructure & Asset Management."

SUBJECT:

Approval and Adoption of the Annual Appropriations Limit for the Fiscal Year 2026-27 RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt Resolution No. 2026-53, approving the annual appropriations limit for Fiscal Year 2026-27.

SUMMARY:

The City is required by Article XIII of the State Constitution to adopt an annual appropriations limit which sets the maximum appropriation for the General Fund. Staff is recommending that Council adopt the attached resolution approving $62,038,548 as the appropriations limit for Fiscal Year 2026-27.

BACKGROUND:

Attached is a resolution, as required by State law to approve the appropriations limit for the Fiscal Year (FY) 2026-27 in the amount of $62,038,548. Staff is still going through the budget process in order to establish General Fund’s final appropriation for FY 2026-

27. However, it is important to note that the FY 2026-27 General Fund appropriations will be significantly less than the appropriations limit calculated under State law.

Dear Fiscal Officer:

Price Factor and Population Information
Appropriations Limit
California Revenue and Taxation Code section 2227 requires the Department of Finance to transmit an estimate of the percentage change in population to local governments.

Each local jurisdiction must use their percentage change in population factor for January 1, 2026, in conjunction with a change in the cost of living, or price factor, to calculate their appropriations limit for fiscal year 2026–27. Attachment A provides the change in California’s per capita personal income and an example for utilizing the factors to calculate the 2026–27 appropriations limit. Attachment B provides the city and unincorporated county population percentage change. Attachment C provides the population percentage change for counties and their summed incorporated areas. The population percentage change data excludes federal and state institutionalized populations and military populations.

Population Percent Change for Special Districts
Some special districts must establish an annual appropriations limit. California Revenue and Taxation Code section 2228 provides additional information regarding the appropriations limit. Article XIII B, section 9(C) of the California Constitution exempts certain special districts from the appropriations limit calculation mandate. Special districts required by law to calculate their appropriations limit must present the calculation as part of their annual audit. Any questions special districts have on this requirement should be directed to their county, district legal counsel, or the law itself. No state agency reviews the local appropriations limits.

Population Certification
The population certification program applies only to cities and counties. California Revenue and Taxation Code section 11005.6 mandates Finance to automatically certify any population estimate that exceeds the current certified population with the State Controller’s Office. Finance will certify the higher estimate to the State Controller by June 1, 2026. Please note: The prior year’s city population estimates may be revised.

The per capita personal income change is based on historical data.

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

May 2026
Attachment A
A. Price Factor: Article XIII B specifies that local jurisdictions select their cost of living factor to compute their appropriation limit by a vote of their governing body. The cost of living factor provided here is per capita personal income. If the percentage change in per capita personal income is selected, the percentage change to be used in setting the fiscal year 2026–27 appropriation limit is:

Per Capita Personal Income
Fiscal Year Percentage change
(FY) over prior year
2026-27 4.95
B. Following is an example using sample population change and the change in California per capita personal income as growth factors in computing a 2026–27 appropriation limit.
2026–27:

Per Capita Cost of Living Change = 4.95 percent
Population Change = -0.14 percent
Per Capita Cost of Living converted to a ratio: 4.95 + 100 = 1.0495 100
Population converted to a ratio: -0.14 + 100 = 0.9986
100
Calculation of factor for FY 2026–27: 1.0495 x 0.9986 = 1.0480

I am passionate about protecting and preserving Norco's uniqueness, and bring a commonsense approach to doing so. I attend (or watch online) city meetings and stay up-to-date on current events, I bring the perspective of a storefront business owner, and the experience of working with the business community for many years. I believe in applying fairness and compassion to decision-making, and treating others with respect and integrity.

Why are you interested in sewing on a City of Norco Commission/CommitteelAdvisory Council?
l have been a resident of Norco for 20 years, have actively volunteered in the community for 14-plus, and have been a part of the business community since 2012. I love Norco, its animal-keeping lifestyle, and its smalltown character. It is very important to me to preserve and protect that lifestyle and character, and the planning commission is on the front line to do that. Whether the projects brought to the planning commission or small or large, the decisions made have the potential to shape the future character of the City. I would like to be a part of that process, to help ensure they benefit the uniqueness of Horsetown USA.

In your opinion, what are the goals and objectives of the CommissionisyCommittee(s)lAdvisory Council(s) you are applying to serve on? The Planning Commission must strike a balance between the wants and needs of the residents, the need for economic development and the desire to position the city as a destination, and maintaining Norco's rural atmosphere and animal-keeping lifestyle. It must focus on responsible development, be consistent in its decision-making, and support the City's Strategic Plan. lf appointed, how would you help achieve these goals and objectives? By approaching every project with an open mind, taking into consideration how it willimpact the city as a whole and the speci?c business or residential area in which it is located. By working within and upholding city code, and by making recommendations for code changes when needed or asked to do so. By understanding that there are shades of grey, and that code cannot cover every situation, and applying that to variances, conditional use permits, site plans, and design reviews. By working together with staff, City Council, other commissions, and the community.
