PROCLAMATION OF SEPTEMBER 2023 AS NATIONAL PREPAREDNESS MONTH

CITY OF ONTARIO
Agenda Report
September
5, 2023
SECTION:

SPECIAL CEREMONIES

RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council proclaim the month of September 2023 as National Preparedness Month in the City of Ontario.

THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:

Maintain the Current High Level of Public Safety
FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no direct fiscal impact associated with this action.

BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:

For the nineteenth consecutive year, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has announced September as National Preparedness Month (NPM).

The goal of NPM is to build awareness and encourage the whole community to prepare for emergencies in their homes, businesses, schools, workplaces, and communities. NPM is managed and sponsored by FEMA's Ready Campaign. The Ready Campaign works closely with Citizens Corps to increase national readiness across the nation. This year's National Preparedness Month theme is "Preparing Older Adults" for disasters especially those from neighborhoods that are disproportionally impacted by all types of hazards.

Residents are encouraged to help our older adults prepare by: 1) creating a communication plan; 2) planning for transportation needs; and 3) planning for food, water, and essentials for themselves and pets. All residents are encouraged to visit the www.ReadyOntario.com website to learn more and find resources to make these three actions simple and easy to do. During this month, residents and businesses are reminded to register their cell phones with AlertOntario, the City's emergency notification system, by texting "ONTARIO" to 888777 or by visiting the www.ReadyOntario.com website.
15 PROCLAMATION OF SEPTEMBER 2023

AS NATIONAL PREPAREDNESS MONTH
WHEREAS, the City of Ontario is committed to ensuring the safety and security of all those living and visiting the city, and is dedicated to raising the awareness of all employees, residents, schools, and businesses about the importance of being prepared for potential disasters; and
WHEREAS, the U. S. Department of Homeland Security is focused on promoting and improving our Nation’s ability to respond to emergencies and strongly supports efforts by cities to safeguard their communities by encouraging them to implement simple measures that will mitigate potential hazards and prevent damage to land and property; and
WHEREAS, the City of Ontario is proud to join with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) in this nationwide effort and pledge their support for emergency preparedness by encouraging everyone, especially our older adults, in the community to create an emergency plan for themselves and their family and friends, to equip themselves with the necessary supplies to care for themselves and their families for at least 72 hours, to register themselves and their family for the mass notification tool AlertOntario, and become informed about the different threats that may affect them; NOW, THEREFORE, the City of Ontario, its City Council and staff members do declare the month of September 2023 as:

NATIONAL PREPAREDNESS MONTH

GIVEN UNDER THE CORPORATE SEAL OF THE CITY OF ONTARIO,

BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:

The City of Ontario is committed to ensuring high-quality development throughout the community, and to help initiate this development when appropriate.

Economic Development has identified a privately owned, undeveloped 25-acre property (Site) generally at the southwest corner of Inland Empire Boulevard and North Archibald Avenue. As a site planning exercise, Staff reached out to On-Call
Architectural, Space Planning and Engineering
Services, HMC Architects (HMC) to develop concepts as we contemplate future development opportunities of this underutilized parcel.

HMC submitted a proposal to develop a new Retail and Residential Master Plan (Plan) of the Site.

The cost to prepare a Site analysis diagram and three Site concept options for the Retail and Residential Plan is $45,000, and it will be delivered in two months. The full proposal is attached. This information will inform future development opportunities for this Site.

18 The City of Ontario Housing Services Department develops and implements a coordinated, strategic approach to providing innovative options for individuals experiencing homelessness and housing instability. The Ontario Continuum of Care Campus site is envisioned for a roughly 5-acre site located on E. Holt Blvd. between N. Imperial Ave. and North Corona Ave. The site will include an Access Center, emergency and interim housing, and permanent affordable housing. Housing Services Department staff has also engaged On-Call Architectural and Space Planning Services from HMC to develop the space programming model and conceptual design. The HMC Proposal includes developing conceptual adjacency diagrams, developing cost plans, perspective renderings, and floor plans at $199,888. These elements are slated to be delivered within three months.

The City recently acquired real property at the southeast corner of Ontario Avenue and Chino Avenue for the development of public recreation and open space amenities for the community to enjoy. This future development will serve as new parkland with public amenities, including open space, play features, tennis courts, pickleball courts, a skate park, ball fields, recreation center, and an aquatics facility. Staff have engaged HMC to begin the programming and conceptual design phase and assist in developing a program model, facilitating a stakeholder engagement workshop, conceptual site planning, preparing a preliminary design, and developing a cost estimate for construction. HMC will assist staff in designing a state-of-the-art, approximately 80,000-square-foot facility to meet the needs and demands of recreational programming and services. The facility will also be the future administrative headquarters for the City’s Recreation & Community Services Department. The cost for these services will be $205,960. 19 Department: Public Works

AN AMENDMENT TO THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH HARRIS

AND ASSOCIATES FOR ON-CALL ENGINEERING PLAN CHECK SERVICES

CITY OF ONTARIO
Agenda Report
September

SECTION:

CONSENT CALENDAR

RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council approve an Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement (on file in the Records Management Department) with Harris and Associates, of Irvine, California to provide on-call plan checking services for a revised annual authorized expenditure of $2,250,000 in Fiscal Year 2023-24 and $2,250,000 in FY 2024-25, for a total revised five-year contract not-to-exceed amount of $9,900,000.

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)
Ensure the Development of a Well Planned, Balanced, and Self-Sustaining Community in Ontario Ranch
FISCAL IMPACT:

The services for this agreement are paid from development related fees collected from applicants for plan check services, on an as-needed basis. The FY 2023-24 Adopted Budget includes $1,500,000 for Engineering plan check services. If needed, additional General Fund appropriations, as well as the corresponding increase in development related revenues for plan check services, will be included in a future quarterly budget update.

BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:

In October 2020, the City awarded a three-year contract with an option to extend the Agreement for one additional two-year period to Harris and Associates for on- call professional engineering plan check services in the amount of $720,000 per contract year. In March 2022, the City approved an Amendment to add $1,880,000 to the second contract year and $1,360,000 to the third contract year for a revised three year not-to-exceed amount of $5,400,000.

Due to the current volume of development projects within the City, specifically the industrial developments in Ontario Ranch, there is an associated increase in the volume of the improvement plans submitted to the Engineering Department for review. This Amendment will provide $2,250,000 for the fourth contract year and $2,250,000 for the fifth contract year and revise the 26 entire five-year contract not-to-exceed amount to $9,900,000 to the Professional Services Agreement with Harris and Associates and allow the City to continue to provide plan checking services in a timely manner, thus maintaining the City's plan check review schedule and commitment to the development community.

That the City Council adopt an Ordinance adopting a Military Equipment Use Policy.

THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:

Maintain the Current High Level of Public Safety
Operate in a Businesslike Manner
Pursue City's Goals and Objectives by Working with Other Governmental Agencies FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no direct fiscal impact associated with this action.

BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:

Assembly Bill No. 481 (AB 481) was approved by Governor Newsom on September 30, 2021. AB 481 requires law enforcement agencies to obtain approval of the applicable governing body, by adoption of a Military Equipment Use Policy, as specified, by Ordinance at a regular meeting held pursuant to specified open meeting laws, prior to taking certain actions relating to the funding, acquisition, or use of military equipment.

In addition, state or local law enforcement agencies must publish the policy on the agency's internet website and provide a copy of the policy to the Governor or the Governor's designee. AB 481 allows the governing body to approve the funding, acquisition, or use of military equipment within its jurisdiction only if it determines that the military equipment meets specified standards. AB 481 also requires the governing body to annually review the Ordinance and either approve, disapprove a renewal of the authorization for itemized military equipment, or amend the Military Equipment Use Policy if it determines, based on an annual military equipment report prepared by the law enforcement agency, that the military equipment does not comply with standards for approval.

This is the second reading of Ordinance to approve the Ontario Police Department's Military Equipment Use Policy.

CONSENT CALENDAR

RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council and the Ontario Housing Authority Board of Directors take the following actions:

A
.

Adopt the Resolution declaring certain City-owned real property at 517, 521, and 525 North Virginia Avenue (APN: 1048-412-13) to be exempt surplus land; B
.

Authorize the transfer of the property to the Ontario Housing Authority to create affordable housing;
D
.

E
.

Authorize the City Manager or designee to take all actions necessary with respect thereto.

THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:

Focus Resources in Ontario's Commercial and Residential Neighborhoods FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no direct fiscal impact associated with this item. The property will be transferred to the Ontario Housing Authority at no cost.

BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:

On September 21, 1999, the City of Ontario (City) acquired the property located at 517, 521, and 525 North Virginia Avenue (Property). The Property consists of three buildings containing nine two-bedroom units. There are currently no active affordable housing restrictions that exist for the Property. Between July 2005 and July 30, 2023, the property was leased to a service provider to operate a transitional housing program. Upon the termination of the lease, City Staff identified an opportunity to increase the supply of affordable housing by transferring the Property to the Ontario Housing Authority (OHA) and establishing the Affordable Housing Regulatory Agreement (Agreement). The Agreement will restrict the use of the Property to provide affordable housing restricted to households earning at or below 80% of the Area Median 73 Income (AMI) with rents affordable to lower-income households based on California Health and Safety Code Section 50053 for a 55-year term.

The California Surplus Land Act (California Government Code section 54220 et seq) (Act) makes various findings and declarations as to the need for affordable housing and the use of surplus government land for that purpose. Under Cal. Gov. Code section 54221(b)(1), land shall be declared either “surplus land” or “exempt surplus land,” as supported by written findings, before a local agency may take any action to dispose of it consistent with an agency’s policies or procedures.

Under the Act, “exempt surplus land” includes land that a local agency is transferring to another local, state, or federal agency for the transferee agency’s use. As the duly established housing entity for the City of Ontario, the OHA qualifies as a 'local agency' under the Act.

The transfer of the
Property to the OHA satisfies the requirements for a declaration of 'exempt surplus land.'

By adopting this resolution, the City Council continues its commitment to addressing the pressing issue of affordable housing and fulfilling its responsibility to provide a range of housing options for residents.
74 RESOLUTION NO. _______

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ONTARIO, CALIFORNIA, PURSUANT TO GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 54221
DECLARING THAT CERTAIN REAL PROPERTY (517, 521, AND 525

NORTH VIRGINIA AVENUE) IS EXEMPT SURPLUS LAND AND FINDING

THAT SUCH DECLARATION IS EXEMPT FROM ENVIRONMENTAL
REVIEW UNDER THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT.

WHEREAS, the City of Ontario (the "City") acquired certain real property commonly described as 517, 521, and 525 North Virginia Avenue (APN: 1048-412-13), (the "Property") for the purpose of increasing, improving, and preserving the City of Ontario’s supply of low–and–moderate income housing available at an affordable cost.

WHEREAS, the City is the owner of the Property within the corporate limits of the City of Ontario.

WHEREAS, the Surplus Land Act, Government Code sections 54220 et seq. (the “Act”) applies when a local agency disposes of “surplus land,” which is defined in the Act as “land owned in fee simple by any local agency for which the local agency’s governing body takes formal action in a regular public meeting declaring that the land is surplus and is not necessary for the agency’s use.” (Government Code section 54221(b)(1).) WHEREAS, the Act expressly does “not apply to the disposal of exempt surplus land.” (Government Code section 54222.3.)
WHEREAS, under the Act, “exempt surplus land” includes land that a local agency is transferring to another local, state, or federal agency for the transferee agency’s use. (Government Code section 54221(f)(1)(D).)
WHEREAS, the Act requires local agencies such as the City to declare certain real property they own as either “surplus land” or “exempt surplus land,” as supported by written findings, prior to any disposition of the real property.

WHEREAS, pursuant to the provisions of the California Housing Authority Law (Part 2 of Division 24 of the Health and Safety Code [herein, the "Housing Authority Law"]), the City has designated the Ontario Housing Authority (the "OHA") as the housing entity for the City of Ontario.

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Housing Authority Law, the OHA is a housing authority duly established and operating as a local housing authority performing a public function and may make and execute contracts necessary or convenient to the exercise of its powers.

WHEREAS, the City desires to transfer the Property to the OHA, which is a “local agency” under the Act, and upon acquiring of the Property, the OHA intends to ensure the Property is utilized for the provision of low-income housing. 75 WHEREAS, the City Council has reviewed this Resolution and now desires to declare the Property as exempt surplus land under the Act, based on the findings and justifications contained in this Resolution.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Ontario does hereby find, determine, and order as follows:

SECTION 1. The above recitals are true and correct and are a substantive part of this Resolution and findings of the City Council.

SECTION 2. The City Council hereby declares that the Property is exempt from the Act as exempt surplus land pursuant to Government Code section 54221(f)(1)(D), based on the findings contained in this Resolution for the Property, namely that the City intends to transfer the Property to the OHA, another local agency, for the OHA’s purposes of maintaining affordable rental housing.

SECTION 3. This Resolution has been reviewed with respect to the applicability of the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.) (“CEQA”). City staff has determined that the designation of the Property as exempt surplus does not have the potential for creating a significant effect on the environment and is therefore exempt from further review under CEQA pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3), because it is not a project as defined by the CEQA Guidelines, Section 15378. Adoption of the Resolution, in and of itself, does not have the potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.

SECTION 4. The City Manager or designee is hereby authorized and directed to send a copy of this Resolution to the California Department of Housing and Community Development in accordance with the requirements of Section 400(e) of the SLA Guidelines.

SECTION 5. If any section, subsection, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase of this Resolution is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Resolution.

SECTION 6. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution.

PASSED, APPROVED, AND ADOPTED this 5th day of September 2023. _____________________________________

AN AMENDMENT TO THE DESIGN SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH WITHERS AND SANDGREN, LTD. FOR STREETSCAPE IMPROVEMENTS FOR THE MISSION

BOULEVARD MEDIAN IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT

CITY OF ONTARIO
Agenda Report
September

SECTION:

CONSENT CALENDAR

RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council authorize the City Manager or his designee to execute Amendment No. 1 to the Design Services Agreement (on file in the Record Management Department) with Withers & Sandgren Ltd., of Chatsworth, California, to provide design services for the Mission Boulevard Median Improvements Project in the amount of $170,000 for a total not-to- exceed contract amount of $235,800.

THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:

Focus Resources in Ontario's Commercial and Residential Neighborhoods Invest in the City's Infrastructure (Water, Streets, Sewers, Parks, Storm Drains and Public Facilities)
FISCAL IMPACT:

The Fiscal Year 2023-24 Adopted Budget includes appropriations in the Grants Fund for design services for streetscape improvements for the Mission Boulevard Median Improvements Project to include new shade trees, decorative cobble, boulders, decomposed granite, drought tolerant shrubs and groundcover. The recommended Amendment No. 1 will increase the contract amount by $170,000 for a total not-to-exceed contract amount of $235,800.

BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:

The medians on Mission Boulevard between Mountain Avenue and Grove Avenue are an under-utilized public space in an underserved community, lacking shade from trees to represent the culture and history of the community. The medians have large, empty tree wells, exposed dirt where turf grew prior to watering ordinance and drought conditions, and large sections of cement. Filling the existing empty spaces with decorative and natural materials will enhance the appearance of the corridor and provide land area for water capture and infiltration.

This project will also continue the landscape renovation work that was completed on Mission Boulevard from Benson Avenue to Mountain Avenue in Fiscal Year 2022-23. The proposed design services include pre-design analysis, conceptual and schematic design, preparation of construction documents, cost estimates and specifications, bid support and construction administration, and topographic survey.
87 This project is a Priority Legislative Budget Project (PLBP) with funding distributed by Caltrans authorized by the California Legislature, specifically Assembly Bill 179. Caltrans is the authorizing agency for the proper distribution of the funding provided by this legislation. On December 14, 2022, the City was awarded $2,000,000 in PLBP funds to fund the Mission Boulevard Median Improvements Project.

Caltrans has confirmed that the City can expend the funds prior to the execution of the Funds Transfer Agreement that is currently under review with Caltrans. The funds must be encumbered by June 30, 2024 and expended by June 30, 2026. Staff plans to seek the City Council’s approval to accept the PLBP funds as soon as Caltrans approves the Funds Transfer Agreement.

At this time,
Staff recommends increasing the total authorized contract amount by $170,000 with Withers & Sandgren Ltd. to begin the design phase of this project. 88 Department: Economic Development

RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council authorize the City Manager or his designee to execute a Professional Services Agreement (on file in the Records Management Department) in the amount of $1,001,975 with Interpersonal Frequency, LLC. for website redesign and 5 years of maintenance and support services.

THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:

Operate in a Businesslike Manner
Encourage, Provide or Support Enhanced Recreational, Educational, Cultural and Healthy City Programs, Policies and Activities
Invest in the Growth and Evolution of the City's Economy FISCAL IMPACT:

The Fiscal Year 2023-24 Adopted Budget includes appropriations of $128,000 in the Information Technology Fund and $190,000 in the General Fund. The proposed Agreement has a year one cost of $318,000, with a total not-to-exceed contract amount of $1,001,975 over five years. Ongoing website maintenance services, covered by the Information Technology Fund will be $158,690 for year two, $166,625 for year three, $174,956 for year four and $183,704 for the final year. If approved, appropriations will be added to the future years’ budgets consistent with the annual budget adoption process.

BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:

In January 2021, the Information Technology Agency solicited proposals for a new web support firm. After careful review of the submitted proposals, experience and ability to manage the City's public websites, Interpersonal Frequency, LLC., was ranked the top firm across all criteria.

The City, in its constant pursuit of excellence, prioritizes providing accessible information to our residents, business owners and other constituents. Staff is recommending that City Council approve an Agreement with Interpersonal Frequency, LLC. to redesign the main City website and 89 two microsites for Economic Development and Museum, all aimed at enhancing user-friendliness, accessibility and a clean look that emphasizes the City's brand. This Professional Service Agreement will cover the scope of work to redesign all three sites as well as the maintenance required for each site for the next four years.

CONSENT CALENDAR

RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council approve and authorize the City Manager or his designee to execute all documents necessary for the Sole Source purchase of meridian barriers in the amount of $258,895 from Meridian Rapid Defense Group, of Pasadena, California.

THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:

Maintain the Current High Level of Public Safety
Pursue City's Goals and Objectives by Working with Other Governmental Agencies FISCAL IMPACT:

The Fiscal Year 2023-24 Adopted Budget includes appropriations in the General Fund for the purchase of meridian barriers in the amount of $214,000. If needed, additional appropriations will be requested at the next quarterly budget update.

BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:

The Ontario Police Department recognizes the need for meridian barriers to help with road closures at various events around the city. This purchase will help with the safety of officers working events as well as the public attending. Meridian Rapid Defense Group will provide Archer 1200 Barrier which can be easily and rapidly deployed using the Archer Field Tow Bar and/or Archer Hauler. The Archer 1200 barriers can be configured in varying numbers and patterns and connected with Arrestor Cables. Best-in-class for Hostile Vehicle Mitigation (HVM), Meridians' Archer 1200 Vehicle Barriers fill a specific need that is simply unmatched by anything currently on the market. Strength and flexibility make them a vital component of the Police Department's overall security plan. The rapidly deployable Archer 1200 Barrier can augment fixed- in-place HVM barriers or be utilized as a primary security system for entry points, roadways, and perimeters.

The cost of the Motorola Radios is $2,003,709 plus a $496,291 contingency for a total not-to exceed of $2,500,000 for additional radios and subscription services.

BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:

On April 2023 the City Council approved the pre-authorized vendor list for the Police Department. This list included Motorola, Inc., of Chicago, Illinois, in the amount of $525,000. After a needs assessment was completed with Information Technology, it was determined the current portable radios in inventory are reaching end of life and replacement parts and batteries are becoming hard to acquire. Handheld radios are a vital part of daily operations for officers. Having new updated and reliable equipment is important for officer safety. 96 Department: Utilities Customer Services

CONSENT CALENDAR

RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council approve and authorize the City Manager, or designee to execute Amendment No. 1 to the Goods and Services Agreement (on file in the Records Management Department) with OPEX Corporation (OPEX) of Moorestown, New Jersey, for an increase to the existing Agreement of $17,197, for a new total not-to-exceed amount of $158,204, for mail extraction and scanning workstation software, and a term through September 6, 2025.

THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:

Operate in a Businesslike Manner
FISCAL IMPACT:

The proposed Amendment No. 1 with OPEX increases the existing Agreement by $17,197, for a new total not-to-exceed amount of $158,204. The Fiscal Year 2023-24 Adopted Budget includes appropriations from the Integrated Waste, Sewer and Water Operating Funds to cover the cost of these services. There is no fiscal impact to the General Fund.

BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:

Utilities Customer Service is responsible for the billing and payment collection of Integrated Waste, Sewer and Water services, and currently processes approximately 76,000 check payments per year. On September 6, 2022, the City Council approved a sole source Goods and Service Agreement to OPEX for the Falcon+Model 72 automated mail extraction and scanning workstation (Workstation). The Workstation offers the latest technology for opening envelopes, extracting contents and document scanning all in one process. The Workstation reduces processing times due to its high-capacity feeder, touchscreen monitor where operators can view images in real-time to ensure proper capture and various media detection capabilities.

The proposed Amendment No.1 will provide for the configuration, installation and testing of custom output files required to import the scanned customer and payment data from the Workstation into the City’s utility billing system. The term of the existing Agreement includes warranty and annual licensing provisions that run through September 6, 2025. 97 Department: Broadband Operations

THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:

Operate in a Businesslike Manner
Invest in the Growth and Evolution of the City's Economy FISCAL IMPACT:

The Fiscal Year 2023-24 Adopted Budget includes appropriations in the Broadband Fiber Fund. The total cost for the recommended actions is $496,857.

BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:

The Broadband Department designs, constructs, and operates the OntarioNet fiber and wireless network to deliver broadband services to City facilities, residents, businesses, and institutions with its service provider. The service and network have connected over 1,600 residential subscribers, over 150 business/commercial customers, over 20 City facilities, and over 90 traffic signal cabinets. This has resulted in over 200 miles of fiber optic cable installed throughout the City, providing the infrastructure to support low-cost alternative fiber internet service for communities in Ontario Ranch and newly identified areas in Old Model Colony. To 98 expand the operational footprint of OntarioNet, carrier-grade network Internet firewalls and routing equipment are needed at OntarioNet's Point-of-Presence (POP) facilities to operate a resilient broadband network. Placement of such equipment at various POP facilities will provide maximum security protection to ensure services are uninterrupted for customers in the event of cyber security threats and network disruptions.

Staff obtained a quote from Sidepath, Inc., of Laguna Hills, California, an approved pre-authorized vendor with the City, for an F5 Networks High-Availability (HA) firewall in the amount of $231,143.

Staff also obtained three quotes from the following Juniper router manufactured-approved resellers:

Staff reviewed the quotes for responsiveness and pricing criteria. Based on the City’s Purchasing Policy, Sec. 2-6.19 Alternative Bid Procedure, proposed unit pricing and estimated quantities of the most often used items, Staff recommends awarding the Purchase Agreements to Sidepath, Inc. and NTT America, Inc., for the purchase of Internet firewalls and network routers. In addition, Staff recommends including a 10% contingency on the pre-tax quote amounts to cover any unforeseen items.

THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:

Maintain the Current High Level of Public Safety
Operate in a Businesslike Manner
FISCAL IMPACT:

The Fiscal Year 2023-24 Adopted Budget includes appropriations in the Equipment Services Fund for the purchase of fleet vehicles. The total cost of the vehicles recommended for purchase is a total not-to-exceed amount $3,509,943.

BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:

The vehicles recommended for replacement in this action have outlived their useful lives and are no longer cost effective to maintain. They are scheduled for replacement pursuant to ongoing efforts to reduce expenses, maximize useful life expectancy and extend replacement cycles of fleet equipment while ensuring safe and reliable operation. 100

Two (2) of the Ford F-150 pickup trucks requested by Fire Department, two (2) of the Ford Explorer SUVs requested by Police Department, and 23 of the Dodge Durango pursuit vehicles requested by Police Department, are a result of growth throughout the City leading to increased operations. The other 23 vehicles being requested are replacements for existing vehicles.

In general conformation with the provisions of Government Code Section 54201 through 54204, Ontario Municipal Code Section 2-6.29 allows for the purchase of supplies and equipment through cooperative purchasing programs, pursuant to California Government Code Section 6502 and City of Ontario Resolution No. 91-141. Cooperative purchasing allows the City to pool its procurement power with other public agencies to obtain lower pricing than otherwise might be possible.

In August 2023, the City solicited Bids for F-150 pickup trucks and Ford Explorer SUVs. Peoria Ford, of Peoria, Arizona was the only responsive bidder.

Focus Resources in Ontario's Commercial and Residential Neighborhoods FISCAL IMPACT:

The Developer will purchase the property from the Ontario Housing Authority (OHA) for fair market appraised value of $357,000. The sales price is supported by an independent appraisal completed by a certified general appraiser. If approved, the proceeds from the sale of the property will be included in the next available Quarterly Budget Update.

BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:

The property at 1325-1329 South Euclid Avenue is located at the northeast corner of Euclid Avenue and Acacia Street. It consists of 0.482 acres (21,000 square feet) of vacant land. The OHA currently owns the site. The development will result in the construction of three single-family homes with approximately 2,000 square feet of living area and a two-car garage for each home. The Developer will sell the completed units to homebuyers at market prices. The OHA will sell the land to the Developer based on the appraised market value, and the Developer is responsible for all project financing. Funds from the sale will be considered OHA funds and will be used for future affordable housing development.
102

The Developer is progressing through the entitlements process and will be required to construct the project in accordance with City guidelines and requirements. The Agreement allows the Developer 90 days to complete due diligence investigations for the site before the close of escrow.

It allows 10 months to complete construction of the project. The Agreement may not be transferred or assigned without prior approval from the OHA. The Development is estimated to be completed by November 2024.

INTRODUCTION OF AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 5-11.02 OF CHAPTER 11 OF TITLE 5 OF THE ONTARIO MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO THE PUBLIC

CITY OF ONTARIO
Agenda Report

SECTION:

ADMINISTRATIVE

REPORTS/DISCUSSION/ACTION

RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council introduce, read by title only, and waive further reading of an Ordinance amending Section 5-11.02 of Chapter 11 of Title 5 of the Ontario Municipal Code relating to the public consumption and possession of alcoholic beverages on or in public facilities.

THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:

Operate in a Businesslike Manner
FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no direct fiscal impact associated with this action.

BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:

Currently, the Ontario Municipal Code lists specific locations where the consumption or possession of alcoholic beverages are allowed. Not all City-owned facilities and parks are included in the Code. The proposed Ordinance makes all City-owned facilities and parks eligible for events with alcohol.

The Ordinance proposes to redirect the authority to grant alcohol at City facilities not explicitly mentioned from the City Council to the City Manager, in order to provide greater flexibility and efficiency in the City's operations. This Amendment only applies to City-sponsored events and events put on by the City supporting non-profit organizations. In either case, approval from the City Manager or their designee will be required. In addition, a supporting organization host will be required to obtain a Special Event Permit.

Through the Special Event Permit and ABC license processes, City supporting non-profit organizations will receive guidance from Ontario Police Department to ensure the safety of their event. Any permit or permission issued by the City that will allow for the consumption and possession of alcohol at a City-owned facility or park may be modified, suspended, or revoked at any time by the Chief of Police or their designee when a breach of the peace or danger to public health, safety, or general welfare of the residents, public or event participants exists. 109

The City's non-profit support groups occasionally hold events at City facilities as celebrations and fundraisers. This change aims to enhance the flexibility and revenue potential for events hosted by these support organizations. For instance, the Friends of the Library will host their 50th-anniversary celebration at the Ontario City Library on November 4, 2023. The proposed Amendment to the Ordinance will allow this event to include alcohol and increase revenues for the Friends of the Library to support the Ontario City Library throughout the year. Additionally, it provides flexibility for City-sponsored events.

Without this Ordinance, the Friends of the Library would need to ask the City Council to approve the use of alcohol at their event, by Resolution. The proposed Amendment to the Municipal Code reflects a balanced approach that allows the City and City non-profit support groups to harness the benefit of controlled alcohol consumption in public facilities. Staff recommends that the City Council approve this Amendment to the Ontario Municipal Code.

(h) Unless otherwise exempted by law, any event occurring in a City-owned facility, park, or any adjacent area owned or controlled by the City, which involves the sale of alcoholic beverages must possess a daily alcohol beverage license issued by the ABC and written approval of the Chief of Policy or his/her designee and must comply with all other applicable laws.
(i) Except when hosted by the City of Ontario, all persons that request to host an event that will allow for the consumption and possession of alcohol at a City-owned facility or park must also obtain a one (1) day Liquor Liability Insurance Policy with combined single limits of one million dollars ($1,000,000.00) for bodily injury and property damage, for each occasion, naming the City as additional named insured, provided, however, that the City Manager or his/her designee may increase or decrease the required amount of coverage as warranted by individual circumstances. The Certificate of Insurance must be on file with the City Manager or his/her designee no later than seventy-two (72) hours before the start of each event or occasion.
(j) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any permit and/or permission issued by the City that will allow for the consumption and possession of alcohol at a City-owned facility or park may be modified, suspended, or revoked at any time by the Chief of Police, or his/her designee without a notice or a hearing in instances where there exists a breach of the peace or danger to the public health, safety, or general welfare of the residents, public, or event participants.

SECTION 3. If any section, subsection, subdivision, sentence, clause, or phrase in this Ordinance or any part thereof is for any reason held to be unconstitutional, invalid or ineffective by any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity or effectiveness of the remaining portions of this ordinance or any part thereof.

Moreover, the City Council finds that this Ordinance is also exempt under CEQA pursuant to Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) (there exists no possibility that the activity will have a significant adverse effect on the environment). 113
