SUBJECT:
A RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE MEASURE I FIVE-YEAR CAPITAL PROJECT NEEDS ANALYSIS FOR FISCAL YEARS 2023-24 TO 2027-28
CITY OF ONTARIO
Agenda Report
September 20, 2022
SECTION:
CONSENT CALENDAR
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council consider and adopt a Resolution approving the FY 2023- 24 through FY 2027-28 Measure I Five-Year Capital Project Needs Analysis (CPNA) and authorize the City Manager to approve changes to the plan as may be required by the City and/or San Bernardino County Transportation Authority (SBCTA).
THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:
Invest in the Growth and Evolution of the City's Economy Pursue City's Goals and Objectives by Working with Other Governmental Agencies Invest in the City's Infrastructure (Water, Streets, Sewers, Parks, Storm Drains and Public Facilities)
FISCAL IMPACT:
The CPNA is a tool to assist the SBCTA Board of Directors and Staff in programming available and projected Measure I Fund revenues. The CPNA is not a budget commitment. The individual projects listed in the CPNA are either currently identified in the City of Ontario Capital Improvement Program Budget (CIP) or will be identified in the CIP at the time that the local fund share is needed and approved by the City Council.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:
San Bernardino County voters approved passage of the 2010 through 2040, thirty-year Measure I program in November 2004, authorizing San Bernardino Associated Governments, now SBCTA, to impose a one-half percent sales tax on retail transactions and use tax in the incorporated and unincorporated territories of the County of San Bernardino. Revenue from the tax can only be used for transportation improvements and traffic management programs authorized in the 2010-2040 Measure I Expenditure Plan set forth in Ordinance No. 04-1 of the Authority. The Expenditure Plan for the San Bernardino Valley Subarea, of which Ontario is a part, requires that Measure I revenue be applied to the following programs:
27 Freeways
Freeway Interchanges
Major Streets
Local Streets (per capita pass through)
Metrolink/Passenger Rail
Senior/Disabled Transit Service
Express Bus/Bus Rapid Transit Service
Traffic Management Systems
29%
11%
20%
20%

The 2010-2040 Measure I Strategic Plan requires each local jurisdiction applying for revenue from the Measure I Major Street Arterial sub-program and Valley Freeway Interchange program to annually adopt and update a Five-Year CPNA. The Five-Year CPNA is not a funding commitment by either SBCTA or the City, but a tool to assist SBCTA staff and their Board of Directors in programming available Measure I Fund revenues. The CPNA is not a wish list but a financially constrained, realistic schedule of the projects for which the agency intends to use Measure I dollars. "Financially constrained" means that the required local Development Impact Fee (DIF) match contribution will be available before the project begins or the DIF match requirement has been met by an internal Measure I loan arranged with SBCTA in accordance with the Measure I Strategic Plan.
The Five-Year CPNA covers projects in the Measure I Major Street Arterial sub-program and Valley Freeway Interchange program. This year's Five-Year CPNA includes the following projects: Grove Avenue/Holt Boulevard intersection widening; Mountain Avenue/Holt Boulevard intersection widening; and Etiwanda Avenue/Airport Drive intersection improvements. Also included is one (1) project that will be constructed as part of SBCTA's I-10 Express Lane Project - the Fourth Street bridge undercrossing improvement. Grade separation projects are not included in the CPNA as they are accounted for in separate agreements.
The CPNA process requires that the City Council approve the CPNA by Resolution. City staff anticipates that there may need to be changes to the CPNA during the fiscal year. Therefore, Staff is recommending that the City Manager be given the authority to approve changes to the CPNA as requested by SBCTA and/or City Staff, provided the changes do not conflict with the approved budget.

Appropriations were not originally included in the budget to avoid over appropriation of funds if there were project delays in Phase 1. There is no impact to the General Fund.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:
The City's potable water system includes approximately 614 miles of pipeline. The City's Water Master Plan and related asset management programming are used to identify and replace undersized and aging pipelines to maintain the reliability of water service to the community and to improve service pressure and fire flow availability. Improvements are prioritized based on capacity deficiencies, condition assessments, and current level of maintenance activities required to provide adequate and reliable water service.
The City owns a 20-million-gallon (MG) Reservoir and 2 MG Reservoir, both located at Fern Reservoir Park in the City of Upland on 8th Street between Euclid Avenue and San Antonio Avenue, which serve the northern part of the City. The Project proposes to upsize the existing 18-inch transmission main with a new 30 and 36-inch diameter main connecting the reservoirs to the service area.
Phase 1 of the project was completed in January 2022. The work under Phase 1, consisted of the installation of approximately 1,600 linear feet of 30-inch diameter cement coated steel potable water transmission main along San Antonio Avenue, between 8th Street and I-10 bridge, installation of appurtenances, interconnection with the existing 18-inch steel water main, pavement repair, slurry seal, and striping restoration.
The work under this Contract, Phase 2, consists of the installation of approximately 1,300 linear feet of 30-inch & 36-inch diameter cement coated steel potable water transmission main eastward 40 along Eighth Street, between San Antonio Avenue and City owned reservoirs, installation of appurtenances, connection to the 24-inch diameter reservoir outlet pipe and the Phase 1 30-inch main on San Antonio Avenue, pavement repair, slurry seal, and striping restoration (Exhibit A).
On June 16, 2022, four (4) bids were received for Bid No. 1534 San Antonio Transmission Water Main Phase 2 Project, OMUC Contract No. UT1046. The bids ranged from a low bid amount of $7,994,702 to a high bid amount of $13,595,469 as summarized below.

During Staff’s bid review of CP Construction Co. Inc., it was revealed that the contractor failed to submit a complete bid package to the City through the City’s electronic bid management system in accordance with the instruction to bidders, rendering the bid non-responsive. Based on CP Construction Co. Inc.’s failure to adhere to the instruction to bidders, and in consultation with the City Attorney, Staff recommends the City Council reject the bid submitted by CP Construction Co.
Inc. as non-responsive and award the contract to James W. Fowler Co., the lowest responsible bidder submitting a responsive bid.
Support services will be required during construction of the San Antonio Transmission Water Main Phase 2 Project. Petra Geosciences will provide on-call material testing and geotechnical engineering services under a sole sourced Professional Services Agreement as they assisted and developed a portion of the project’s plans and specifications. IEC will provide construction and engineering services as they are the Engineer of Record for the Project. The City first contracted with IEC in May of 2019, after an extensive Request for Proposal selection process for on-call design services. Wallace and Associates Consulting Inc. will provide construction management services.
The City first contracted with Wallace and Associates Consulting Inc. in October of 2019 after an extensive Request for Proposal selection process for On-Call Support Services. OMUC staff solicited scope and fee from all three consultants.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
The proposed Project is a component of the 2012 Infrastructure Master Plans that was approved by the City Council on December 4, 2012. A Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) was prepared and approved for the 2012 Infrastructure Master Plans pursuant to the provisions of CEQA. The MND addressed the drainage, sewer, water and recycled water master plans (2012 Infrastructure Master Plans) including their alignments, pipe sizes and installation for the City. No revisions or modifications have been made in regard to the proposed Project, and the approved MND continues to constitute an accurate and complete assessment of the proposed Project. Staff has analyzed the proposed Project and has determined that there is no deviation from the description of this component of the overall 2012 Infrastructure Master Plans.
Thus, no further CEQA analysis is required.

TWO AMENDMENTS TO PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENTS FOR LEGAL AND
TECHNICAL SERVICES PERTAINING TO WATER AND WASTEWATER MATTERS
CITY OF ONTARIO
Agenda Report
September 20, 2022
SECTION:
CONSENT CALENDAR
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council take the following actions:
A
.
Approve and authorize the City Manager or his designee to execute Amendment No. 5 to the Professional Services Agreement (on file in the Records Management Department) with Nossaman LLP of Los Angeles, California, for a term of 2 years with a not-to-exceed amount of $2,500,000 for legal and technical services with respect to matters relating to sewer disposal, water supply, and water rights.
B
.
Approve and authorize the City Manager or his designee to execute Amendment No. 1 to the Professional Services Agreement (on file in the Records Management Department) with Stoel Rives LLP of Sacramento, California, for a term of 2 years with a not-to-exceed amount of $365,000 for legal and financial assessments services with respect to matters relating to sewer disposal, water supply, and water rights.
THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:
Invest in the City's Infrastructure (Water, Streets, Sewers, Parks, Storm Drains and Public Facilities)
FISCAL IMPACT:
Amendments were not included in the Fiscal Year (FY) 2022-23 Adopted Budget. If approved, appropriations for year one, in the amount of $1,465,000 from the Water Operating Fund will be included in the FY 2022-23 First Quarter Budget Update. Appropriations for future years will be added consistent with the budget adoption process. Actual expenditures will be based on work completed at established contract rates. There is no impact to the General Fund.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:
The City has historically used Nossaman LLP for legal and technical representation concerning sewer disposal, water supply, and water rights matters. There are several critical multi-year efforts in process, as well as emerging regional topics planned over the next several years. Topics include the Meter Equivalent Unit (MEU) charge, regional sewage 43 contract, regional projects, and water rights/financial assessments in the Chino Groundwater Basin.
The proposed amendments will ensure service continuity in dealing with these critical matters to preserve and manage Ontario's utility resources and services to the community.
Nossaman LLP Professional Services Agreement
In July of 2019, City Council approved the original agreement with Nossaman LLP for legal and technical services with respect to matters relating to sewer disposal, water supply, and water rights.
The original term was from July of 2019 to June of 2020, with the option to extend the Agreement for up to four (4) successive one-year periods. In June of 2022, City Council approved Amendment No. 4, the third one (1) year extension.
The proposed action is consistent with City Council direction to the City Manager to engage in settlement discussions and pursue legal actions if necessary and as appropriate. The proposed Amendment No. 5 will increase the total not-to-exceed authorization by $2,500,000, from $1,600,000 to $4,100,000, and extend the term until June 30, 2024 (last extension to Agreement).
Stoel Rives LLP Professional Services Agreement
The City entered into an agreement with Stoel Rives LLP for legal representation in March of 2022 for legal services. The proposed Amendment No. 1 will increase the total not-to-exceed authorization by $365,000 from $24,000 to $389,000 and extend the term until June 30, 2024.
The proposed action is consistent with City Council direction to the City Manager to engage in settlement discussions and pursue legal actions if necessary and as appropriate. Staff requested fee schedules from qualified legal firms, as Nossaman LLC is prohibited from representing the City due to a conflict of interest on specific water matters. The City selected Stoel Rives based on their expertise in adjudicated groundwater basins, ability to meet the City’s timeframe requirements to file a challenge under the Chino Basin Watermaster Judgment, and following a determination that they could represent Ontario without the potential of any conflicts of interest.
Continuity of legal and technical services is critical in bringing these and other water/wastewater matters to conclusion. Any additional legal expenses will be brought to the City Council for review and approval on an as needed basis.

That the City Council take the following actions:
A
.

THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:
Operate in a Businesslike Manner
Invest in the City's Infrastructure (Water, Streets, Sewers, Parks, Storm Drains and Public Facilities)
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Fiscal Year 2022-23 Adopted Budget includes appropriations in the amount of $270,000 from the Sewer and Water Capital Fund for water and sewer engineering services. All firms have agreed to a term from September 20, 2022 to September 20, 2025, with the option to extend the Agreement for up to two additional one year periods at the City's request with fixed billing rates set forth in their respective agreements with a not-to-exceed increase of up to 3% per year and will be compensated for on-call, as needed services performed at the billing rates set forth in the Agreements. There is no impact to the General Fund.
45 BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:
The City’s Master Plans identifies water and sewer system infrastructure necessary to serve existing and future residents and businesses. Hydraulic modeling and analysis of these systems determine near and long-term improvements in support of the City’s ongoing Capital Improvement Program as well as for the planning and design of improvements associated with new development.
Due to the volume of development projects and the unpredictable timing of project submittals and construction, water and sewer engineering services are required on an as-needed basis to supplement the City's in-house Staff. This will allow the City to ensure effective infrastructure analyses and utilities planning and maintain schedule commitments to support development.
In April 2022, the City solicited bids for On-Call Water and Sewer Engineering Services. On May 19, 2022, five bids were received through the City’s electronic bid management system in response to Bid No. 1518.
Companies that submitted bids are as follows:
Company
Location
Ardurra Group, Inc.
Tampa, FL
AKM Consulting Engineers, Inc.
Irvine, CA
Stantec Consulting Services, Inc.
Irvine, CA
Albert A. Webb Associates
Riverside, CA
Michael Baker International, Inc.
Ontario, CA
Using a qualifications-based selection process, a panel of City Staff reviewed the proposals and ranked the firms. Ardurra Group, Inc., AKM Consulting Engineers, Inc., and Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. were the most qualified firms and are being recommended based on their broad range of expertise as demonstrated by their services provided to municipal agencies and capability to perform the work in a timely manner.
Contracting with three firms provides a cost-effective option and ensures sufficient resources are available for projects and task orders as they arise. The execution of these Agreements does not guarantee any specific level of payment or assignment of work to any firm. The selection of firms for specific tasks or projects will be based on best value, specialized expertise, and availability to meet the City’s timelines.

CONSENT CALENDAR
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute a three-year License Agreement (on-file with the Records Management Department) with ESRI, INC., of Redlands, California, for a Citywide Enterprise License Agreement for Geographic Information System (GIS) software, in an amount not to exceed $573,279.
THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:
Operate in a Businesslike Manner
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Fiscal Year 2022-23 Adopted Budget includes appropriations from the Information Technology Fund for annual licensing and maintenance support for ESRI software. The proposed License Agreement has an annual amount not to exceed $191,093, which includes a yearly subscription fee of $173,721 and a 10% contingency amount of $17,372 for additional user licenses, if needed, with a total contract not-to-exceed amount of $573,279. If approved, appropriations will be added to the future years’ budgets consistent with the annual adoption process.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:
Over the past several decades, the City has developed an extensive Geographic Information System (GIS) using ESRI’s ArcGIS software suite. This software allows staff to document and maintain changes to the City’s land data and is a foundational data source for many of the software applications used in the City, including public safety computer-aided dispatch and land management. ESRI’s Enterprise Licensing Agreement will allow for continuity of the City’s GIS efforts. Staff requests City Council approval for a three-year agreement with a not-to-exceed amount of $573,279.

A RESOLUTION AMENDING THE APPENDIX TO THE CITY OF ONTARIO CONFLICT

CITY OF ONTARIO
Agenda Report
September 20, 2022
SECTION:
CONSENT CALENDAR
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council adopt a Resolution amending the Appendix to the Conflict of Interest Code to update position classification titles and filing requirements for City employees.
THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:
Operate in a Businesslike Manner
FISCAL IMPACT:
The proposed action has no direct fiscal impact.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:
The City of Ontario originally adopted its Conflict of Interest Code in 1976, in compliance with Government Code 87000 et seq., with the last update occurring on September 15, 2020. The Political Reform Act requires every local government agency to review its conflict of interest code biennially to determine if amendments or modifications are needed.
The Appendix to the City’s Conflict of Interest Code designates those employees, officers and consultants who make or participated in the making of decisions which may affect the City’s financial interests and therefore must disclose those interests in financial disclosure statements.
These officials and employees may also be required to disqualify themselves from, developing or contributing in the making of governmental decisions affecting those interests.
Staff has reviewed the City’s Conflict of Interest Code and is recommending that the Appendix of the Code be amended to reflect any new or changed position classifications titles since the last update, as well as update the respective filing categories. No other amendments to the Code are recommended at this time. A list of proposed changes is available below, and a full revised copy of the Appendix has been prepared and is available in the Records Management Department.

A. OVERVIEW
The FY 2021-22 Action Plan was the second One-Year Action Plan component of a five-year strategy covering the period of FY 2020-2024. The Five-Year Consolidated Plan articulates the City’s vision for enhancing the quality of life in Ontario by addressing housing and community development issues. The One-Year Action Plan identified specific activities conducted in support of the priorities and objectives originally presented in the Five-Year Consolidated Plan. A concise executive summary was included as an introduction to the Action Plan in order to increase understanding by civic leaders, other organizations, City residents, and others not familiar with the complexities of housing and community development issues.
The Action Plan was developed through a series of workshops, meetings, and public hearings with City staff from various departments involved in housing and community development, non-City organizations, Ontario residents, and the City Council. The funding allocation development process relied heavily on input from each of these stakeholders. Availability of funds was advertised in the local media, and application materials were designed and distributed with the intention of soliciting proposals for programs to implement the objectives and goals of the Consolidated Plan.
B. AVAILABLE RESOURCES
The goal of the annual Action Plan is the effective utilization of resources to meet housing and community development needs. The table on the following page identifies the various sources of funding available for housing and community development programs and projects.

PARKSIDE AVENUE)
The City provided a loan to Mercy House CHDO, Inc. and entered into a HOME Program Participation Agreement with Mercy House CHDO, Inc. and the Ontario Housing Authority to acquire and rehabilitate this eight-unit apartment building, located at 411 North Parkside Avenue.
During FY 2016-17, the HOME Program Participation Agreement was executed and a physical needs assessment inspection was conducted of the property. The acquisition was completed by Mercy House CHDO and escrow closed in February 2018. After the close of escrow, the affordability restrictions on the property were changed from seven (7) units restricted to moderate- income households (at or below 120% AMI) and one (1) property manager’s unit to four (4) units restricted to low-income households (at or below 80% AMI), three (3) units restricted to very low- income households (at or below 50% AMI), and one (1) property manager’s unit. One household was relocated related to this project during June 2018 because the household did not meet the income restrictions for the unit. During FY 2020 -21, the rehabilitation work was delayed to coordinate with GRID Alternatives, the solar energy equipment installer working with the TCC program so that the solar installation can be included as part of the rehabilitation. In addition, the project was delayed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. In FY 2021-22 the project was pending additional guidance from the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Rehabilitation work is expected to be completed in 2023.

During FY 2021-22, 13 households consisting of 18 persons were served by this program.
CONTINUUM OF CARE
A comprehensive Continuum of Care (the “Continuum”) was developed and approved during FY 2004-05. Over the last decade, the City has worked in cooperation with Mercy House Living Centers (Mercy House) to provide a full -service access center, street outreach and en gagement services, a variety of complimentary services targeted at ending or preventing homelessness, transitional housing beds, a tenant-based rental assistance program, and permanent housing units in various locations targeted to serving homeless individ uals and families. In addition, 12 Supportive Housing Program vouchers were obtained and continue to be renewed working in partnership with Mercy House, the County of San Bernardino Department of Behavioral Health, and the Housing Authority of the County o f San Bernardino to permanently house mentally ill homeless individuals and families.
In FY 2020-21, the City restructured the delivery of homeless services and added a City staff position to provide oversight and implement all programs related to the provision of homeless services throughout the community. During FY 2021-22, this position continued to drive the City’s homeless services strategy.
In addition, several components were added to the Continuum of Care using both federal and non- federal funding sources. CARES Act ESG-CV funds were used to develop and operate a number of programs in response to and to aid in the recovery from the COVID -19 pandemic including a motel voucher program, additional street outreach efforts, a homeless systems diversion program, a rapid rehousing program targeted to those placed in motels during the coronavirus pandemic, and the creation of an eviction prevention program. City general funds were used to enhance hours at the Ontario Access Center increasing from 16 hours per week to over 40 hours per week, including hours on Saturdays.
ESG-CV RAPID RE-HOUSING PROGRAM
This program is designed to provide a housing exit solution for those unshe ltered individuals and households placed in the motels as part of the City’s response to the coronavirus pandemic. The program offers a 12 -month rental assistance coupon for a unit of the participant ’s choice and functions similarly to the City’s Tenant Based Rental Assistance program allowing participants to pay 30% of their income for rent and the program would pay the balance of rent for qualified households. Maximum assistance is $20,000 per household and may be used for rental assistance, utility assistance, and security and utility deposits.
During FY 2021-22, two households received assistance through this program.

ESG-CV MOTEL VOUCHER PROGRAM
The City took early action during the initial onset of the coronavirus to begin sheltering unsheltered individuals and households. The ESG-CV Motel Voucher Program aims to not only protect high- risk individuals, but to also prevent the spread of the deadly virus in our communities and protect the capacity of our hospitals and healthcare system. ESG -CV funds continue to be utilized to support efforts to keep individuals and households sheltered and connect them to housing and/or diversion resources during the pandemic.
During FY 2021-22, 119 households containing 236 persons were provided with shelter as part of this program. A total of 1,294 household bed nights were provided to program participants during the reporting period.
ESG-CV HOMELESS DIVERSION PROGRAM

The program help s homeless individuals and families avoid and/or reduce the length and frequency of homelessness by providing early, light -touch support in securing transportation to temporary or permanent housing arrangements.
During FY 202 1-22, no households were assisted through this program. Due to lack of interest funding was reprogrammed to the ESG-CV Emergency Rent and Utility Assistance Program.
ESG-CV EMERGENCY RENT AND UTILITY ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
The City established the ESG-CV Emergency Rent and Utility Assistance Program (ERUAP) to mitigate potential homelessness and displacement of existing Ontario residents experiencing housing instability as a result of the economic impacts of the coronavirus pandemic. The program assists Ontario residents at risk for homelessness by providing prospective and deferred rent and utility payments for very low -income households. The program will provide qualified applicants up to six months of assistance with a maximum financial benefit of $15,000 per household.
The program began accepting applications in July 2021. During FY 2021 -22, a total of 110 households were assisted.
ESG-CV STREET OUTREACH AND ENGAGEMENT
During FY 2019 -20, the City used local Low and Moderate -Income Housing Asset Funds (LMIHAF) to provide enhanced homeless services, including enhanced street outreach, an extreme weather motel voucher program, and a utility assistance program to be used as a companion to the HOME-funded TBRA program. During FY 2021-22, ESG-CV funds were used to allow additional street outreach to continue increasing the number of street outreach hours from 10 hours per month to 40 hours per week. This program has allowed Mercy House outreach staff to develop DRAFT

FAIR HOUSING AND MEDIATION SERVICES PROGRAM
The City contracted with Inland Fair Housing and Mediation Board (IFHMB) to provide assistance to Ontario residents regarding fair housing and landlord/tenant mediation issues. IFHMB assisted and investigated (using HUD FHIP Guidelines) complaints from individuals with alleged discrimination actions. This program also educated the public on civil rights laws utilizing various mass media outlets.
During FY 2021-22, 100 persons were assisted through the fair housing component of this program. A total of 750 persons were assisted through the housing mediation component of this program. In addition, the following outreach efforts were completed: brochures/flyers were disseminated to Ontario public agencies and community groups; 0 persons attended community education programs presented by Inland Fair Housing and Mediation Board, fair housing radio programs and public service announcements were aired on KCAL AM & FM, KDIF, KWRN, KXSB, KXRS, KWRM (English/Spanish), KSZL, KLFE, KOLA and KGGI; and celebrated National Fair Housing Month in April 2022.
Actions to Affirmatively Further Fair Housing
IFHMB implemented several of the action steps identified in the City’s Assessment of Fair Housing (AFH) (updated June 2020).
The AFH established the following goals to address contributing factors to fair housing issues:
1. Increase the supply of affordable housing in high opportunity areas;
2. Increase community integration for persons with disabilities; and
3. Ensure equal access to housing f or persons with protected characteristics who are disproportionately likely to be lower-income and to experience homelessness.
IFHMB conducts numerous workshops for property owners to provide education regarding requirements for reasonable accommodations and service/companion animals. The City will continue to work with IFHMB to provide additional educational resources to further educate property owners of their rights and responsibilities.

CITY OF ONTARIO
FY 2021-22 Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) 09/20/2022
The AFH cites the need for additional affordable housing as another goal to address factors contributing to fair housing issues. Many factors inhibit the ability to provide affordable housing in Ontario including market and governmental constraints. These constraints may result in housing that is not affordable to low- and moderate-income households or may render residential construction of affordable housing economically infeasible for developers.
Constraints to housing production significantly impact households with low- and moderate- incomes and special needs. Actions by local government may also impact the price and availability of housing in the City. Land use controls, site improvement requirements, building codes, development processing procedures, fees, and other local programs intended to improve the overall quality of housing may serve as a constraint to housing development.
In addition to conducting the Assessment of Fair Housing and developing recommendations to address identified goals and priorities, HUD requires that each jurisdiction develop a plan to act on the recommendations, and maintain records reflecting the actions taken. The Fair Housing Guide published by HUD stipulates that, as part of the Fair Housing Action Plan, there should be a permanent structure established for fair housing oversight responsibilities. In the case of Ontario, the City’s Housing Department is responsible for the oversight and record maintenance responsibilities for fair housing. The AFH states that as part of the City’s annual performance report for its Consolidated Plan, the City will report on its actions to affirmatively further fair housing. The City also provides a summary of its Assessment of Fair Housing and a description of the actions taken during the past program year, along with any analysis of the impact of the action. The bulk of the City’s fair housing activity is conducted by Inland Fair Housing and Mediation Board, a non-profit organization, with expertise in fair housing issues.

SUFFICIENCY PROGRAM)
The HACSB administered the Family Self-Sufficiency Program (FSS) within Ontario. During FY 2021-22, ten (10) Ontario residents were participating in this program.
The purpose of the Family Self-Sufficiency Program is to promote the development of local strategies to enable families receiving rental assistance to achieve economic independence and self-sufficiency. Through this program, HACSB staff worked closely with participants to connect families with available resources, including:
• Education referrals;
• Job interest and skills assessments;
• Job search training/job leads;
• Child care assistance referrals;
• Interest – bearing savings account;
• Enrichment programs for children;
• Budget/money management;
• Credit repair;
• Time management; and
• Car purchasing opportunities.
All interested participants sign a five-year contract with HACSB. During the term of their FSS contract, as their income increases with new employment an escrow account is established with the rental subsidy savings. If the participant fulfills the contract, which requires employment and independence from welfare, the escrow account is given to the successful participants.

H. LEAD HAZARD STRATEGY
Priority 1: Reduce the number of housing units with lead paint hazards through education, inspection, and rehabilitation.
Five-Year Objective: The City of Ontario Housing Department will assist households with the appropriate lead paint inspection, testing and abatement.
Accomplishments: The City of Ontario Housing Department informs residents of activities in any City-supported program involving the disruption of contaminated areas, which may involve the release of lead toxins. This policy applies regardless of whether or not there are children present in the household. Furthermore, City staff also monitors industry studies and reports that clarify the risks of exposure to lead based paint and methods to mitigate the impact.
All lead-based paint education, testing, and abatement are incorporated into the statistics as discussed in the Housing Strategy Section. The City does not track separately the numbers of lead- based paint abatement and testing.
I. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY
This section is a discussion of the priorities and corresponding activities, which address various community development and public service activities.
Priority 1: Provide for needed public infrastructure improvements in target lower and moderate- income neighborhoods.
Five-Year Objectives: The City will provide funds strategically to infrastructure projects that benefit low- to moderate-income areas and, where possible, coordinate with other programs for a targeted impact to neighborhoods.
Please note, unlike the other strategies, most of the Community Development goals do not have annual goals, rather the goal is the completion of the project. Therefore, the annual goal column has been deleted from the accomplishment table.
Accomplishments: The City concentrated on infrastructure projects to improve the condition of low-income neighborhoods and increase the quality of parks and recreation facilities. The table below indicates the programs and projects implemented during FY 2021-22:

Management program. During FY 2021-22, bids were solicited for the project , and a contract was awarded to Onyx Paving Company. Construction is expected to be completed in 2022.
The Alley Rehabilitation Project will include the complete removal and replacement of the asphalt surface. A concrete ribbon gutter will be constructed to guide surface water away from the alley surface. Prior to improvement, the alleys have very poor drainage which allows standing water to create damage.
The location of the alleys to be improved are between Cypress Avenue and San Antonio Avenue south of Sunkist Street, Cypre ss Avenue and San Antonio Avenue south of Nevada Street, San Antonio Avenue and Oakland Avenue south of Nevada Street, Boulder Avenue and San Antonio Avenue south of B Street and Holt Boulevard and B Street east of Boulder Avenue. It is estimated that 110 homes and surrounding businesses will benefit from these alley improvements. This DRAFT

D. ESG Match Requirements
A. HOMELESS ISSUES OVERVIEW
The City supported a variety of activities to address the needs of homeless persons and the special needs of persons that are not homeless but require supportive housing and special assistance. Each activity was specifically selected for funding through CDBG, CDBG-CV, HOME, ESG and ESG- CV programs to address steps along the Continuum of Care.
This region has number of organizations, which serve both the general homeless population and specific special segments within the homeless community. In developing the funding allocations, the City supported a diverse selection of providers and cultivated cooperation among those groups in the delivery of their services.
In 2005, the City adopted a Continuum of Care program and has worked cooperatively with Mercy House Living Centers, Mercy House CHDO, Inc., the Ontario Housing Authority, the Housing Authority of the County of San Bernardino, and the County of San Bernardino Department of Behavioral Health to implement the Continuum.

B. GAPS IN THE CONTINUUM OF CARE
In May 2005, the City approved the Mercy House Continuum of Care to address identified gaps in the delivery of homeless services including emergency beds and transitional housing for single men, single women, and single women with children. As of FY 2013-14, all the components included in the Continuum had been completed. Mercy House Living Centers operates the Ontario Access Center and a transitional housing facility that provides beds for single men, single women, and single mothers. Working in cooperation with the Ontario Housing Authority, Mercy House Living Centers, and Mercy House CHDO, Inc., 62 units of permanent affordable housing have been developed as part of the Continuum of Care. Mercy House provides aftercare services to both the graduates of their transitional housing program and the residents in the permanent affordable housing units.
The Ontario Access Center was completed in December 2013 and began operating in January 2014. The Ontario Access Center provides restrooms, shower facilities, laundry facilities, storage lockers, and other items to meet the basic needs of Ontario’s homeless population.
In addition, as discussed earlier, the City, in conjunction with the Ontario Housing Authority, Mercy House Living Centers, Inc., the HACSB, and the County of San Bernardino Department of Behavioral Heath, began implementing Project Gateway, a Supportive Housing Program (SHP), during FY 2011-12. Project Gateway was designed to meet the needs of the hard-to-reach homeless population with disabilities (primarily those with mental illness), which was an identified gap in the Continuum. During this reporting period 13 households consisting of 18 persons were assisted through this program. In addition, during this reporting period, the City worked in cooperation with Mercy House Living Centers, the HACSB, and the County of San Bernardino Department of Behavioral Health to renew the Project Gateway program. The original contract expired September 30, 2021 and the renewal will extend the program through September 30, 2026.
The SHP provides rental subsidies and supportive services on a long-term basis for homeless persons with disabilities and their families who are living in places not intended for human habitation (e.g., streets) or in emergency shelters.
Homeless individuals and families participating in Project Gateway can rent an apartment unit within the Continuum of Care permanent housing inventory and are provided with a range of supportive services through Mercy House Living Centers, Step Up on Second, and the County of San Bernardino Department of Behavioral Health. Up to 12 units are available within the permanent housing units that have been acquired as part of Ontario’s Homeless Continuum of Care.
C. RESOURCE LEVERAGING
Homeless and near homeless persons in Ontario experience a variety of mental, physical, and economic challenges. The strategy for addressing the needs of this population includes supporting a diverse set of programs and projects from a variety of funding sources. While the City’s ESG DRAFT
123
CITY OF ONTARIO

program is designed for homeless activities, CDBG and local resources are also employed to augment these funds. The Mercy House Continuum of Care has been designed to leverage resources. The City made a commitment in FY 2005-06 of $3,072,637 ($734,021 of CDBG funds, $61,848 of ESG funds, $1,791,768 of HOME funds, and $485,000 of local set-aside funds) to fund the Continuum. Additional funds have been added to this original commitment since FY 2005-06.

IV. HOME-FUNDED HOUSING ACTIVITIES
NOTE: This section primarily focuses on HOME-funded activities. These activities are also discussed in the Housing Strategy Section. Please refer to the housing priorities and accomplishments for a discussion of additional housing related issues.
This section contains the following elements:
HOME-Funded Activities
A. HOME Match Requirements
B. HOME Inspections and Monitoring
A. HOME-FUNDED ACTIVITIES
HOME funds may be used for a variety of programs and projects to increase the supply and quality of affordable housing. The City participates in the HOME program by using these funds for affordable residential rehabilitation projects and to support Community Housing Development Organizations. Qualitative assessments and analyses are presented for each of the topics listed below:
1. HOME-funded program performance in terms of the Consolidated Plan and Action Plan
2. Community Housing Development Organizations
3. Affirmative marketing and minority outreach
The narrative portions of this section are augmented by additional standard HUD reports.
1. Consolidated Plan and Action Plan
The City is required to assess the success of HOME activities in achieving the objectives identified in the Five-Year Consolidated Plan. An analysis of the distribution of HOME funds among the Consolidated Plan’s several categories of housing needs is also required. Three affordable housing objectives were presented in the Consolidated Plan’s five-year strategy:
1. Expand affordable rental housing opportunities, particularly for low-income persons;
2. Create new, preserve, and rehabilitate existing rental and owner -occupied housing units ; and
3. Increase affordable homeownership opportunities, particularly for low - and moderate - income persons.
The Consolidated Plan identified rental households earning less than 50 percent of the area median income (AMI) as experiencing the greatest number of problems. Very low -income renters experience significantly higher incidences of housing problems. According t o HUD provided 2011-15 CHAS data, 57.51% of renter -occupied households earning less than 50% of AMI experience one or more housing problems. To address this problem, the City implemented the following projects:
DRAFT
125
CITY OF ONTARIO
FY 2021-22 Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) 09/20/2022
Guadalupe Residence (411 North Parkside Avenue) – This eight-unit apartment building is located at 411 North Parkside Avenue. The units are all four-bedroom apartments. All eight units have been designated as HOME-assisted units, with three units being reserved for very low-income tenants (at or below 50% of area median income) and five units restricted to low-income tenants (at or below 80% of area median income). During FY 2017-18, a HOME Program Participation Agreement was executed among the City, Mercy House CHDO, Inc., and the Ontario Housing Authority for the sale and rehabilitation of the property. This property was originally transferred to the Ontario Housing Authority as part of the dissolution of redevelopment agencies throughout California. Mercy House CHDO, Inc. is purchasing the property from the Ontario Housing Authority and the sale proceeds from this project will be used to fund another affordable housing project with units restricted to extremely low- to low-income households (30% - 60% AMI). The purchase was completed in February 2018. During FY 202 1-22, the rehabilitation work was delayed to coordinate with GRID Alternatives, the solar energy equipment installer working with the TCC program so that the solar installation can be included as part of the rehabilitation. In addition, the project was delayed as a result of the COVID -19 pandemic. The project is pending further guidance from the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Rehabilitation work is expected to be completed in 2023.
The needs analysis presented in the Consolidated Plan also identified: (1) over payment for housing and (2) deteriorating housing quality as two issues impacting the supply of owner- occupied units. Specifically, the Consolidated Plan suggested providing assistance with home repairs as a method for addressing the negative impacts of over payment since homeowners could not afford to maintain their units. During FY 2021-22, the City continued to provide homeowner rehabilitation opportunities through the Conservation Home Improvement Program (CHIP Loan) which provides qualified homeowners with a deferred loan to make needed home repairs.
In addition, the following activities were funded with HOME resources during the reporting period:
HOME General Administration - The City expended $113,196 of HOME administrative funds for administrative costs associated with the implementation of HOME programs and activities.
1. Community Housing Development Organizations (CHDOs)
During FY 2016-17, the City executed a HOME Program Participation Agreement with Mercy House CHDO, Inc. and the Ontario Housing Authority for the sale and rehabilitation of 411 N. Parkside Ave. During FY 2017-18, escrow closed transferring the property to Mercy House CHDO, Inc. and changing the affordability restrictions on this property from seven (7) units restricted to moderate-income households (at or below 120% AMI) and one (1) property manager’s unit to four (4) units restricted to low-income households (at or below 80% AMI), three (3) units restricted to very low-income households (at or below 50% AMI), and one (1) property manager’s unit.

2. Affirmative Marketing and Minority Outreach
Pursuant to HUD regulations, each participating jurisdiction is required to adopt affirmative marketing procedures and requirements for housing projects containing five or more HOME- assisted housing units. During FY 2021-22, the property management companies of projects containing five or more housing units assisted with HOME funds complied with the affirmative marketing and minority outreach plan.
Currently, the projects that trigger affirmative marketing procedures are Mountain View Senior Apartments – Phases I and II, City Center Senior Apartments, Palm Terrace I and II (formerly Ontario Senior Housing/D Street Housing), Guadalupe Residence (411 and 412 N. Parkside Ave.), and Francis Street Apartments. Mountain View Senior Apartments – Phase I has 11 rental units that have been assisted utilizing HOME funds. Mountain View Senior Apartments – Phase II has 11 rental units that have been assisted utilizing HOME funds. Palm Terrace I (formerly Ontario Senior Housing) has 90 rental units that have been assisted utilizing HOME funds. Palm Terrace II (formerly D Street Senior Housing) has 47 rental units that have been assisted utilizing HOME funds. The City Center Senior Apartments has 11 rental units that have been assisted utilizing HOME funds. Guadalupe Residence (411 and 412 North Parkside Avenue) has 14 units that have been assisted utilizing HOME funds. The Francis Street Apartments have 10 units that have been assisted utilizing HOME funds.
Although not required by HOME regulations, the Ontario Housing Authority has opted to apply affirmative marketing policies to the HOME-assisted properties at 217, 222, 223, 228, 231, and 305 North Begonia Avenue. These individual four-unit properties on Begonia Avenue (217, 222, 223, 228, 231, and 305) have a total of 16 rental units that have been assisted utilizing HOME funds.
The City continues to monitor all projects that trigger affirmative marketing procedures. The ethnic breakdown of the persons in occupied units for all projects is listed in the following table:

HOME regulations require participating jurisdictions (PJs) to provide match in an amount equal to but not less than 25 percent of the total HOME funds drawn down for project costs. HOME match is a permanent contribution to affordable housing efforts. In accordance with 24 CFR 92.222 of the HOME Program Regulations, HUD granted the City a match reduction for HOME funds because the City had been designated as a fiscally distressed community. The City received a 100% reduction of match for the following fiscal years: FY 2003-04, 2004-05, 2005-06, 2006-07, 2007- 08, 2008-09, 2009-10, 2010-11, and 2011-12. The City received a 50% reduction of match for FY 2012-13, 2013-14, 2014-15, 2015-16, 2016-17, 2017-18, 2018-19, 2019-20, 2020-21, and FY 2021-22.
During FY 2021-22, no HOME funds were drawn down.
As reported in the FY 2020-21 CAPER, the City had an excess HOME match that was carried over to FY 2021-22 in the amount of $370,080.04. The table below identifies the excess match from the prior fiscal year, current match contribution, total match available, match liability for the current fiscal year, and excess match carried over to the next fiscal year.

V. PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS
This section is an analysis of the City’s capacity to implement federally funded housing and community development programs and projects. There were three types of program administration activities conducted during this period. This analysis will be organized around each of these activities.
A. PLANNING
The planning activities for FY 2021-22 began in October 2020. Starting the process early provided time for workshops, meetings, hearings, and opportunities for public participation. A community forum/public hearing was conducted to obtain public input on the plan and proposed projects. The plan was prepared and drafts were made available for public review for 30 days. On June 16, 2020, the City Council approved the FY 2020-24 Consolidated Plan and FY 202 1-22 One-Year Action Plan and directed staff to send the final plan to HUD for review and approval.
The programs selected to receive allocations of CDBG, ESG, and HOME funds each supported a HUD-defined national objective and met the regulatory requirements for eligibility. Additionally, these programs served low-income persons, sought to eliminate blighting conditions, and provided economic opportunities for Ontario residents.
During the Action Plan preparation process, City staff met or exceeded all regulatory requirements for public participation. Please refer to the following table for the dates and activities during the preparation of the FY 2021-22 One-Year Action Plan:

B. ADMINISTRATION
During FY 2021-22, the City expended $231,916.60 to administer the CDBG program, $169,047.30 to administer the CDBG -CV program, $113,196.40 to administer the HOME Program, $2,944.87 to administer the ESG program, and $ 16,990.45 to administer the ESG -CV program.
The administration activities conducted during this period included preparing environmental review materials, preparing and executing contracts with non-City subrecipients, preparing and executing Memorandums of Understanding with City subrecipients, and monitoring program performance. Prior to the execution of contracts and drawing down funds for any new project, City staff conducted detailed analysis regarding any potential environmental impacts from federally funded projects. This analysis is prepared in compliance with federal regulations and documentation for each project is kept on file. In some cases, additional review and specific requests for funding releases were required. In these instances, staff ensured that the proper notifications were published in the local newspapers and additional certifications are sent to HUD for review and approval. Contracts with non-City subrecipients are prepared in accordance with federal requirements. Specific language regarding scope of services, payment, procurement, non- discrimination, and progress reporting, along with other requirements were included in each contract.
During FY 2021-22, subrecipients submitted monthly progress reports and requests for reimbursement. These reports included statistical information on the number and types of clients served, and narrative sections describing the activities conducted. City staff reviewed each report to ensure the timely implementation of the subrecipient’s program. Subrecipients were also required to document expenditures for which they sought reimbursement. City departments conducting federally funded activities also submitted progress reports.
Due to COVID -19 restrictions, City staff was unable to conduct annual field monitoring of subrecipients throughout the year. The City’s monitoring process was developed in conjunction with the City’s internal audit division to ensure compliance with City and federal OMB regulations. Field monitoring materials were designed to satisfy federal requirements. Results from the field auditing showed that the subrecipients complied with HUD regulations and implemented their respective programs in a timely and effective manner. The administrative process developed by City staff to chart the progress of each program and ensure regulatory compliance provided effective accounting of CDBG, ESG, and HOME resources, and their use supporting programs which addressed housing and community development needs.
C. REPORTING
Reporting activities were conducted throughout FY 2021-22 and concluded with the preparation of the CAPER. The single most important issue related to program reporting was the continued implementation of the Integrated Disbursement and Information System (IDIS). During FY 2021- 22, City staff used IDIS and SAGE HMIS systems to document the performance and submit DRAFT
