CITY OF ONTARIO
Agenda Report

SECTION:

CONSENT CALENDAR

RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council 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 JSB Fire Protection, LLC., of Downey, California, for a two year term extension for a new end term of June 30, 2027 and an increase to the existing Agreement by $30,000 annually, for a total not-to-exceed amount of $1,960,000.

THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:

Operate in a Businesslike Manner
FISCAL IMPACT:

Proposed Amendment No. 1 to JSB Fire Protection, LLC. will increase the existing Agreement by $30,000 annually for a total revised Agreement not-to-exceed amount of $1,960,000.

The Fiscal Year 2023-24 Adopted Budget includes appropriations in the General Fund for the ﬁre code plan review services. Future appropriations will be budgeted.

BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:

The Fire Prevention Bureau has utilized the services of JSB Fire Protection, LLC. (JSB), a licensed Fire Protection Engineer, for over 20 years. JSB is a recognized expert in the ﬁeld of ﬁre prevention and provides an unparalleled resource for high-end ﬁre protection analysis, hazardous materials requirements, and plan review. JSB's understanding of the Fire Prevention Bureau's immediate needs and practices increases the likelihood of greater efficiency and success.

On June 2, 2020, the City Council approved an Agreement with JSB. for ﬁre plan code review services. Since then, JSB is requesting an increase to its hourly rates and Staﬀ recommends entering into Amendment No. 1 to increase the compensation by $30,000 annually for a total not- to-exceed contract amount of $1,960,000 for the term of the Agreement. Additionally, Staﬀ recommends a two year term extension for a new end term of June 30, 2027.

A RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE MEASURE I FIVE-YEAR CAPITAL PROJECT NEEDS ANALYSIS FOR FISCAL YEARS 2024-25 TO 2028-29

CITY OF ONTARIO
Agenda Report
September 19, 2023
SECTION:

CONSENT CALENDAR

RECOMMENDATION:

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:

There is not a direct ﬁscal impact associated with this action.

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 (CIP) Budget 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, a 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:

F
reeways 29% Freeway Interchanges 11% 32 Major Streets 20% Local Streets (per capita pass through) 20%
Metrolink/Passenger Rail 8% Senior/Disabled Transit Service 8%
Express Bus/Bus Rapid Transit Service 2%
Traffic Management Systems 2%

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 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.

RECOMMENDATION:

THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:

Invest in the City's Infrastructure (Water, Streets, Sewers, Parks, Storm Drains and Public Facilities)
FISCAL IMPACT:

The ADA concrete ramp construction services in the amount of $175,000 will be funded by the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA-SB1) Fund. Upon approval, the appropriations from RMRA-SB1 Fund will be included in the Fiscal Year 2023-24 First Quarter Budget Update.

BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:

The Public Works Agency is responsible for the maintenance and installation of ADA ramps citywide. On average, every year, 35 new ADA ramps are installed throughout the City using a construction contract vendor. In July 2023, the City solicited bids for ADA Concrete Ramps Construction Services. Seven bids were received and only three met the minimum bid criteria and standards necessary to perform the scope of work. A summary of the bid results are as follows:

KNC Construction, Inc., TVR Construction Engineering, High Point Concrete Construction, and SNZ Contractors, Inc. did not submit bid bonds to the City Clerk’s Oﬃce prior to the bid closing date, which marks them as non-responsive bidders.

CT&T Concrete Paving, Inc., of Diamond Bar, California, submitted the lowest responsible bid that met all the local and federal required speciﬁcations for a unit price of $5,900 per ramp and a total unit price of $13,583 per ramp with the diﬀerent types of additional services. Additional services would be charged per ramp only when rock curb, Portland Cement Concrete (PCC) curb, or drive approach is removed and replaced. A one-time mobilization cost of $7,000 will be charged for the establishment of construction sites. Based on their credentials, pricing, and favorable reference checks, Staff recommends awarding the Construction Contract to CT&T Concrete Paving, Inc.

CITY OF ONTARIO
Agenda Report
September 19, 2023
SECTION:

CONSENT CALENDAR

RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council approve and authorize the City Manager, or designee, to execute Amendment No. 3 to the Professional Services Agreement (on ﬁle in the Records Management Department) with CAPO Projects Group, LLC, of San Clemente, California, for integrated project controls, assessment, and reporting services for $47,976, for a total not-to- exceed amount of $347,811, and a term extension to September 30, 2024.

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:

Proposed Amendment No. 3 to Capo Projects Group, LLC, (CAPO) will increase the existing Agreement by $47,976 for a total revised Agreement not-to-exceed amount of $347,811.

The Fiscal Year 2023-24 Adopted Capital Improvement Program includes appropriations from the Water and Sewer Capital Fund for these services. The City and CAPO have agreed to ﬁxed billing rates and CAPO will be compensated for completion of the scope of work at the approved billing rates. There is no impact to the General Fund.

BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:

The City’s Water and Sewer Master Plans identify the water production, transmission, distribution, and sewer collection system improvements necessary to serve existing and future residents and businesses of the City. The Water and Sewer Capital Improvement Program (CIP) consists of approximately $28 million for Fiscal Year 2023-24 in engineering and construction work for water main improvements, sewer main improvements, facility retroﬁts, well facility upgrades and equipping, and the construction of a new water treatment facility. To maintain consistent and accurate reporting of the City’s progress of the Water 47 and Sewer CIP, City Staff needs integrated project controls, assessment, and reporting services.

On October 1, 2019, the City entered into a Professional Services Agreement with CAPO for On-Call Project Management Services after an extensive Request for Proposal selection process. This Agreement has been previously amended two times for integrated project controls, assessment, and reporting services in the amount of $299,835. Amendment No. 3 will extend these services to September 30, 2024, and increase the contract amount by $47,976, for a total not-to-exceed amount of $347,811.

Over the last year, CAPO has worked with City Staﬀ to establish the process and tools to eﬀectively and eﬃciently plan and administer the CIP. Retaining CAPO for further program management services will assist in delivering these capital projects in a timely and eﬃcient manner and align the City with public water sector capital project management lifecycle best practices.

Staff is recommending approval of Amendment No. 3 to the Professional Services Agreement based upon CAPO’s experience, qualiﬁcations, familiarity with the Project, and performance in providing integrated project controls, assessment, and reporting services. 48 Department: Public Works

CITY OF ONTARIO
Agenda Report

SECTION:

CONSENT CALENDAR

RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council take the following actions:

A
.

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 ﬁre apparatus and a Goods and Services Agreement with FAS.

The total not-to-exceed cost of the vehicles recommended for purchase is $4,875,000. The cost of the recommended Agreement with FAS is $300,000 per year for a total not-to-exceed contract amount of $900,000. Exercising the optional two-year term will increase the contract amount by $600,000 for a new total not-to-exceed amount of $1,500,000.

BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:

The vehicles recommended for replacement have outlived their useful life 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 operations. This procurement action will 49 result in the replaced vehicles being available to surplus, with any auction sale proceeds returning to the Equipment Service Fund.

On June 1, 2021, the City Council approved KME, of Fontana, California as a sole source vendor for ﬁre apparatus. On April 2, 2023, Fire Apparatus Solutions became the only authorized KME Dealership in the State of California.

On September 17, 2019, the City Council approved FAS as an authorized vendor to provide parts and maintenance services of ﬁre apparatus. The size of the City’s Fire ﬂeet has grown signiﬁcantly since 2019 which necessitates the continued authorization of FAS as an approved vendor to improve the efficiency of getting fire vehicles repaired and ready to serve the community.

Fleet Services and Fire Department staﬀ evaluated several factors in considering the recommendation to award a sole source contract to FAS including location of a service center, warranty and support services, quality and reliability of their pumpers, and training needs. FAS also provides the City with services such as annual pump testing, aerial certiﬁcations, warranty repairs, body repair and fabrication, and routine maintenance.

.

THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:

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 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Fund for the Sam Alba Park Restroom Renovation Project. The combined total cost of all recommended actions is $700,049.

51 Fleming Environmental, Inc.

The recommended Contract award to Fleming Environmental, Inc. is for $642,687 plus a 7% contingency of $44,989, for a total not-to-exceed amount of $687,676.

Robert Borders and Associates
The proposed Amendment to the On-Call Design Services Agreement with Robert Borders will increase the contract amount by $12,373 for a total not-to-exceed contract amount of $582,539.

The total contract amount of $582,539 includes On-Call work performed for various citywide projects.

BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:

The City receives an annual allocation from the CDBG program. The CDBG program is federal funding, administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. CDBG funds can be used by local jurisdictions to support programs that beneﬁt low and moderate-income areas and people, including infrastructure, community facilities and parks, and public services.

Approximately 500 square feet of the existing Sam Alba Park Restroom will be demolished and a new pre-fabricated restroom with one men’s and one women’s stall will be installed to meet the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) access, improve infrastructure, and provide improved security monitoring for the Ontario Police Department.

Fleming Environmental, Inc.

The work under this project will consist of demolishing the existing 223 square foot restroom & storage structure and replaced with a new 389 square foot prefabricated restroom & storage structure. The existing utilities will be relocated and/or upgraded as needed for the revised locations and the new pad will be prepared for the installation of the prefabricated structure.

On August 8, 2023, ﬁve bids were received for the D&C20-017- Sam Alba Park Restroom Renovation Project through the City’s electronic bid management system in response to Bid No. 1673. The bids are summarized below.

KNC Construction, Inc., HZS Engineering and Construction, and Wakeco, Inc. all failed to submit the required CDBG forms, which deemed their bid incomplete in accordance with the project specifications, rendering them non-responsive.

52 Staﬀ recommends the City Council reject the bids submitted by KNC Construction, Inc., HZS Engineering and Construction, and Wakeco, Inc. as non-responsive and award the contract to Fleming Environmental, Inc., the lowest responsible bidder submitting a responsive bid. The Sam Alba Park Restroom Renovation Project has an estimated completion date of June 2024.

Robert Borders and Associates
On June 20, 2023 City Council approved Amendment No. 14 to the On-Call Design Services Agreement with Robert Borders for the Sam Alba Restroom Renovation Project. Due to project scope changes and construction bid support services needed, additional funding is required for the Architectural Services to complete the project. The requested increases in the contract will enable the City to move forward and complete this project.

THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:

Invest in the City's Infrastructure (Water, Streets, Sewers, Parks, Storm Drains and Public Facilities)
FISCAL IMPACT:

The recommended Amendment No. 1 will increase the contract amount by $329,823 for a total contract amount not-to-exceed $479,823. The cost of the Latimer Ballﬁeld fence replacement is $307,556, funded by Measure Q, and the cost of the Public Works City Yard fence installation is $22,266, funded by the Water Capital Fund. The Fiscal Year 2023-24 Adopted Budget includes appropriations in the Capital Projects-Measure Q Fund and the Water Capital Fund for these projects.

BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:

The Public Works Agency is responsible for the maintenance and repairs of fencing citywide. The vendor will be on an as-needed basis for on-going maintenance and repairs and will be compensated for their services based on the fee structures and material billing rates set forth in the respective three-year maintenance agreements.

On May 12, 2023, the City solicited bids for Contract No. PM 2023-3 for on-call Fence Repair and Installation. Three (3) bids were received and met the bid criteria and standards necessary to perform this work. The proposed base cost ranged from $55,362 to $272,852.

Staﬀ is proposing to amend the Contract for a one-time Capital Improvement Project for the Latimer Field Fence Replacement in the amount of $307,556 because the existing fence has deteriorated and is in need of replacement. Additionally, there is a one-time cost for Public Works City Yard for the Utilities Department in the amount of $22,266 for security fence modifications, bringing the total contract amount not-to-exceed $479,823. 55 Department: Utilities

THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:

Invest in the City's Infrastructure (Water, Streets, Sewers, Parks, Storm Drains and Public Facilities)
FISCAL IMPACT:

The proposed Amendment No. 2 to Stoel Rives LLP, (Stoel Rives) increases the existing Agreement amount by $225,000 for Fiscal Year 2023-24, and $100,000 for Fiscal Year 2024- 25, for a total revised Agreement not-to-exceed amount of $714,000.

The Fiscal Year 2023-24 Adopted Operating Budget includes appropriations from the Water Operating Fund to cover the cost for legal matters. Appropriations in the amount of $100,000 will be requested in the Fiscal Year 2024-25 proposed annual operating budget to be approved by City Council. The City and Stoel Rives have agreed to the ﬁxed billing rates and Stoel Rives will be compensated for completion of the scope of work at the approved billing rates. There is no impact to the General Fund.

BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:

The City has historically used Nossaman LLP, for legal and technical representation concerning water supply and water rights matters. During the November 16, 2021, City Council closed session meeting, Staﬀ presented on multiple legal matters including a water ﬁnancial assessment related challenge as potential litigation. City Council approved legal action on 56 this matter. Due to a conﬂict of interest on this speciﬁc water ﬁnancial assessments related matter, Nossaman LLP, is prohibited from representing the City.

The City entered into an Agreement with Stoel Rives for legal representation in March of 2022. In September of 2022, City Council approved Amendment No. 1 to increase the amount by $365,000, from $24,000 to a total not-to-exceed amount of $389,000 and extend the term until June 30, 2024.

Proposed Amendment No. 2 will increase the Agreement amount by $225,000 for Fiscal Year 2023- 24, and $100,000 for Fiscal Year 2024-25, for a total not-to-exceed amount of $714,000, and extend the term through June 30, 2025.

Proposed Amendment No. 2 will ensure service continuity in dealing with critical matters to preserve and manage Ontario's utility resources and services to the community. Continuity of legal and technical services is critical in bringing legal water matters to a conclusion. Any additional legal expenses will be brought to the City Council for review and approval on an as-needed basis.

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.

The Fiscal Year 2023-24 Adopted Budget includes appropriations from the Capital Improvement Projects-Measure Q Fund for the purchase of the Integrated Ballistic Identiﬁcation System (IBIS) from Forensic Technology Inc. of Largo, Florida. The total cost of the IBIS is $369,133, funded by Measure Q.

BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:

The Police Department is dedicated to reducing gun related violence in the City. The goal is to enhance operational capability in reducing violence by acquiring and deploying new technologies, regional and national networks, and shared databases.

The purchase of the Integrated Ballistic Identiﬁcation System (IBIS) will extend the technological capabilities of the Forensic Division. This will allow the Department to process ballistic crime scene evidence and provide actionable investigative information, linking various crime scene evidence locally and regionally within hours rather than weeks or months.

In partnership with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), the IBIS will be connected to the National Integrated Ballistic Information Network (NIBIN) which will allow the Department to search and compare ballistic crime scene evidence through a national database. 58 Department: Recreation & Community Services

RECOMMENDATION:

THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:

Encourage, Provide or Support Enhanced Recreational, Educational, Cultural and Healthy City Programs, Policies and Activities
FISCAL IMPACT:

The Fiscal Year 2023-24 Adopted Budget includes appropriations from the Capital Projects-Measure Q Funds for the purchase of playground equipment for Bon View Park. The total cost of the playground equipment recommended for purchase is $378,165 funded by Measure Q.

BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:

The playground equipment at Bon View Park is outdated and in need of replacement to keep it in working order and to reduce future maintenance expenses. The selected playground vendor is BCI Burke and the playground will be purchased through their representative Innovative Playgrounds, Inc.

The proposed playground (Exhibit A) has a tree house theme and insects displayed on the rubberized surfacing of the play area. The play structure will feature a 2-5 year old tot lot and a 5-12 year old playground. Play elements include a viper slide, climbing features, play panels, music equipment, canopies, balance features, an inclusive spinner, and benches. The playground vendor will also add fencing along the Bon View Avenue side of the playground to separate it from the street.

59 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. Cooperative purchasing allows the City to pool its procurement power with other public agencies to obtain lower pricing than otherwise might be possible.

On August 28, 2023, the Recreation & Parks Commission approved the design for the new playground to be installed at Bon View Park with a vote of 6-0 and recommends that the City Council authorize the cooperative purchase.

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

CITY OF ONTARIO
Agenda Report
September 19, 2023
SECTION:

CONSENT CALENDAR

RECOMMENDATION:

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:

This is a second reading proposing this Amendment to an Ordinance which makes all City-owned facilities and parks eligible for events with alcohol. On September 5, 2023, there was a Public Hearing held to consider this Amendment.

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 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 62 health, safety, or general welfare of the residents, public or event participants exists.

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.

ACCEPTANCE OF STATE OF CALIFORNIA HOMELESS HOUSING, ASSISTANCE AND PREVENTION ROUND 3 (HHAP-3) FUNDING ADMINISTERED BY THE COUNTY OF

CITY OF ONTARIO
Agenda Report
September 19, 2023
SECTION:

CONSENT CALENDAR

RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council accept $135,000 in HHAP-3 funding to provide eight households that are homeless in the west valley of San Bernardino County with move-in costs and up to six months’ rent assistance and services to stabilize their housing.

THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:

Pursue City's Goals and Objectives by Working with Other Governmental Agencies FISCAL IMPACT:

The $135,000 contract amount includes $121,500 to fund rent assistance and security deposits, and $13,500 for the coordination of services. There is no local match requirement and no impact on the City’s General Fund.

BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:

The San Bernardino City & County Continuum of Care (SBC CoC) was allocated funding by the State of California, Homeless Coordinating and Financing Council in the Business, Consumer and Housing Agency, hereinafter called State, under the Homeless Housing, Assistance and Prevention Round 3 (HHAP-3) Program authorized by AB 140 (Health & Safety Code § 50218.6, et seq.), which was signed into law by Governor Gavin Newsom on July 19, 2021. On April 24, 2023, the San Bernardino County Oﬃce of Homeless Services (OHS) released a Request for Applications that included $2,590,844.87 for regional proposals. Of that allocation, $350,901 was reserved for proposals in the West Valley region, encompassing Chino, Chino Hills, Montclair, Ontario, Rancho Cucamonga, Upland, and the surrounding unincorporated communities.

On May 17, 2023, the City of Ontario submitted an application for $150,000 to provide Rapid Rehousing rental assistance and services to assist homeless families and individuals. This application was coordinated with a complementary application submitted by the City of Montclair to provide temporary housing. The City of Ontario submission received the highest score for the West Valley region; however, due to the demand for funding, was reduced to $135,000. 69 The HHAP-3 Rapid Rehousing Program will provide up to 100% of the monthly rental payment for eligible households for no more than $15,000 per household and for no longer than six months.

Each participating household will enter into a one-year lease and must demonstrate their ability to assume the entire month’s rent when the HHAP-3 assistance ends. Housing Services Department staﬀ will evaluate applications referred via the Coordinated Entry System. Staﬀ will guide eligible applicants in their housing search and oﬀer budgeting and planning assistance services. Program participants will also be referred into the San Bernardino County Workforce Development Program to improve employment options and increase income.

The target population for this program will be recently homeless households in the West Valley cities that can support their rental payments beyond six months. This program provides lower- income households the ﬁnancial support they need to stabilize their household income and housing situation. Priority will be given to households that have become homeless in the last year, have a member with a disability, or is a Veteran household unable to be served by other Veteran housing programs. Program participants may opt to move to a unit within the West Valley region of San Bernardino County.

Once the contract is executed, program outreach to obtain referrals will begin immediately, with a goal of moving six households into housing by January 2024, and the remaining two households before March 30, 2024. This pacing will enable the program to meet the County requirements to expend 50% of HHAP-3 funds by May 31, 2024.

Staﬀ recommends approval of the contract which will be executed upon San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors approval.

The FY 2022-23 Action Plan was the fourth 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.

Participants are assisted to attain/maintain income from mainstream benefit sources, as well as provided resources for employment and career readiness development for those able to participate and are assisted with other supporting housing services designed to increase their household income and future self-sufficiency.

During FY 2022-23, 12 households consisting of 17 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 engagement 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 individuals 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 of San Bernardino to permanently house mentally ill homeless individuals and families.

In FY 2020-21, the City restructured the del ivery 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 2022-23, 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 mo tels 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.

In 2021, nationwide settlements were reached to resolve all opioids litigation brought by states and local political subdivisions against three pharmaceutical distributors, McKesson, Cardinal Health, and AmerisourceBergen and against manufacturer Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc . These national settlements have been finalized, and payments began to be distributed during FY 2022-23. In all, the Distributors will pay up to $21 billion over 18 years, and J anssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc. will pay up to an additional $5 billion . During FY 2022-23, the City of Ontario received and used its first settlement allocation to support the Ontario Fire Department in purchasing naloxone kits and enabled their participation in an overdose prevention campaign with other regional partners .

Additionally, the first year allocation suppo rted the establishment of a baseline understanding of the settlement fund requirements, the incidence and nature of opioid use, and addiction and overdose in the City.

CDBG-CV SHORT-TERM RENTAL AND UTILITY ASSISTNCE PROGRAM

In response to the COVID -19 pandemic and in an effort to avoid the displacement of currently housed individuals and families, this program provides emergency one-time grants, for short-term rental and utility assistance to low -income renters who have suffered a loss of income related to the coronavirus pandemic.

During FY 2022-23, a total of 62 households were assisted.

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 pro vide qualified applicants up to six months of assistance with a maximum financial benefit of $15,000 per household.

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 2022-23, 115 persons were assisted through the fair housing component of this program. A total of 1,037 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 2023.

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 DRAFT
95 CITY OF ONTARIO
FY 2022-23 Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) 09/19/2023

Page 23 of 58 ends

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.

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.

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.

tenants have submitted their list of improvements and staff is currently identifying what would qualify for matching funds within the program. Funding should begin to be allocated in 2024.

OTHER ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS

The primary goal of the Ontario Economic Development Agency is to create, maintain, and grow the economic value of the City. The Agency’s goal is implemented through programs in Business Attraction, Business Retention & Expansion, Workforce Development, Redevelopment and Project Management.

Business Attraction

Much of the Agency’s Business Attraction efforts center on developing and maintaining relationships with real estate executives, site selectors, investors, and business owners through business visits, attendance at conferences, trade shows, and professional associations. With the creation of Federal Opportunity Zones, the Agency is working with the County of San Bernardino to attract new property and business investment key areas of the City, including Holt Boulevard, the Airport, Downtown and the Convention Center District.

Business Retention and Expansion

At the heart of the City’s Business Retention and Expansion efforts is the Business Retention Committee, a collaboration between the City of Ontario and Greater Ontario Business Council .

Other Agency efforts included one-on-one visits with businesses, quarterly industry specific workshops, and partnerships with key community partners on workforce development trainings.

In addition to these efforts, staff produces the monthly Made in Ontario Business Series, highlighting prominent local businesses.

In collaboration with the County of San Bernardino Workforce Development Department (WDD) and funded through the Transformative Climate Communities (TCC) Grant initiative, the Agency has established a satellite workforce services office in the City Library to provide job training and placement assistance for Ontario residents. In addition, the Agency continues to play a part in encouraging all Ontario students to pursue higher education after high school by providing a scholarship program paying for two years of community college for recently graduated high school residents of Ontario.

As efforts in the Euclid Avenue District continue to develop, the Agency focuses efforts on strategic property acquisitions to further develop this area and drive visitors and foot traffic back to Euclid Avenue. Economic Development has been working closely with regional agencies to spark innovation and create a business incubator, accelerator, and co-working office that brings entrepreneurs and startups to Downtown. The agency has also been strategically acquiring properties in Downtown for the purpose of creating new residential, retail and restaurant development. In addition, The Agency is working closely with Chaffey Community College for the construction of an Ontario Campus on Euclid Avenue. The Agency partnered with New City DRAFT

III. CONTINUUM OF CARE

This section contains the following elements:

A. An overview of homeless issues
B. Gaps in the Continuum of Care
C. Resource Leveraging
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. The following components have been implemented as part of the Continuum:

• Ontario Access Center – a full-service intake center providing emergency supplies, basic need items, restroom and shower facilities, laundry facilities, and day storage lockers.

• Assisi House – a transitional housing services program that serves single men, single women, and single mothers.

• Permanent Housing Units – a total of 62 affordable housing units were acquired and rehabilitated to be used as part of the Continuum. These units are at the following locations:
307-309-311 West Francis Street (15 units), 411/412 North Parkside Avenue (15 units), 209 North Begonia Avenue (4 units), 216 North Begonia Avenue (4 units), 217 North Begonia Avenue (4 units), 222 North Begonia Avenue (4 units), 223 North Begonia Avenue (4 units), 228 North Begonia Avenue (4 units), 231 North Begonia Avenue (4 units), and 305 North Begonia Avenue (4 units). These units provide a range of affordability levels for tenants.

• Project Gateway – Funded through the former Shelter + Care Program, this program provides up to 12 Supportive Housing Program (SHP) Vouchers to be used at permanent housing units that are part of the Continuum.

• Aftercare Services Program – Graduates of the Assisi House program, Project Gateway clients, and residents of the Continuum’s permanent housing units are provided with case management and counseling services as needed.

• ESG-CV Emergency Rent and Utility Assistance Program – This 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.

• Enhanced Ontario Access Center Hours – City General Funds were used to allow hours at the Ontario Access Center to increase from 16 hours a week to over 40 hour s a week, including hours on Saturdays.

• CDBG Motel Voucher Progra m - The City will issue motel vouchers to individuals and families experiencing homelessness. The program will provide an opportunity to connect recipients to other homeless services offered by the Continuum of Care.

The City of Ontario also works in conjunction with the San Bernardino County Continuum of Care. Ontario staff are active participants in the San Bernardino County Homeless Provider Network's West Valley Regional Steering Committee and on its Homeless Strategic Plan steering committee.

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

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.

D. ESG MATCH REQUIREMENTS

Federal Emergency Solutions Grant regulations require organizations receiving ESG funds to match their allocation with funds from other sources.

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 to 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

CITY OF ONTARIO
FY 2022-23 Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) 09/19/2023

Page 43 of 58 ends

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 2022-23 the City worked with HUD to convert the project to acquisition only. Pending approval for the change in project nature, the project will be deemed complete in FY 2023-24.

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 2022-23, the City continued its effort to replace a dilapidated wall along Mountain Avenue that that impacts r 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 $98,170 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 2022-23, 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:

In addition, minority-owned businesses (MBE) and women-owned businesses (WBE) are encouraged to participate in HOME funded projects. The City updates and distributes contractor materials to promote contractor interest.

No construction contracts utilizing HOME funds were awarded by the City of Ontario during FY 2022-23.

B. HOME MATCH REQUIREMENTS

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, 2021-22, and FY 2022-23.

During FY 2022-23, no HOME funds were drawn down.

As reported in the FY 2021-22 CAPER, the City had an excess HOME match that was carried over to FY 2022-23 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 2022-23 began in October 2021. 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 21, 2022, the City Council approved the FY 2022-23 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 2022-23 One-Year Action Plan:

B. ADMINISTRATION

During FY 2022-23, the City expended $439,924.30 to administer the CDBG program, $98,170.12 to administer the HOME Program, and $5,144.87 to administer the ESG 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 2022-23, 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.

City staff resumed it’s field monitoring of subrecipients during FY 2022-23, after being previously unable to as a resul t of the coronavirus pandemic. 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 2022-23 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 2022- 23, City staff used IDIS and SAGE HMIS systems to document the performance and submit required reports of each active project funded through the CDBG, CDBG-CV, ESG, ESG-CV, and HOME programs. Performance information was loaded into IDIS on a regular basis throughout DRAFT

the year. At the end of FY 2022-23, final program statistics and narratives illustrating accomplishments were entered into the system. This information was based on monthly reports submitted by each subrecipient and additional information submitted by City departments. While IDIS served as a useful tool for reporting the progress of federally funded projects, it does not provide for reporting the progress of non-federally funded housing and community development efforts. The CAPER report, however, offers an opportunity for a truly comprehensive perspective on all housing and community development activities conducted during FY 2022-23.
