SECTION:
CONSENT CALENDAR
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council consider and:
A
.
Accept written petitions (on file with the Records Management Department) from GLV
Landowner LP and GLV Building 6 LP
("Landowners"), to create a Community Facilities
District ("CFD") and to waive certain procedural matters, under the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982; and
B
.
Adopt a Resolution of Intention to establish City of Ontario Community Facilities District No. 69 (South Ontario Logistics Center Services), authorize the associated levy of special taxes therein; and set a public hearing for the formation of the CFD as part of the regularly scheduled City Council meeting on Tuesday, October 7, 2025.
THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:
Operate in a Businesslike Manner
Focus Resources in Ontario's Commercial and Residential Neighborhoods Ensure the Development of a Well Planned, Balanced, and Self-Sustaining Community in Ontario Ranch
FISCAL IMPACT:
Mello-Roos financing in the South Ontario Logistics Center development is projected to generate approximately $85,114 per year, at build-out, to fund administrative fees and municipal services. City Council approval will be required to process annual special tax levies in future years.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:
The Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982 provides local government, with the consent from a majority of the property owners, the authority to establish community facilities districts for the purpose of levying special taxes to finance municipal services. 32 Municipal services that may be funded by a community facilities district include: police protection services, fire protection and suppression services, ambulance and paramedic services, maintenance and lighting of parks, parkways, streets, roads, open space, flood and storm drain protection services, maintenance and operation of fiber optic telecommunication, wireless communication and public safety camera systems and maintenance and operation of any real property or tangible property with an estimated useful life of five or more years that is owned by the governmental entity. Under the Mello-Roos Act, the initial steps in the formation of a community facilities district to finance municipal services are to adopt a Resolution declaring the intention to establish a community facilities district and authorize the levy of special tax.
GLV Landowner LP and GLV Building 6 LP
have provided written petitions to the City requesting the formation of a community facilities district, along with a deposit pursuant to a Deposit Agreement dated June 1, 2023, for the South Ontario Logistics Center Services project. The project will be an industrial development of approximately 147.59 gross acres located south of Eucalyptus Avenue, north of Merrill Avenue, west of Grove Avenue, and east of Bon View Avenue. As proposed, the project is anticipated to include five industrial buildings totaling approximately 340,313 square feet at build-out.
Included, as part of the Resolution of Intention, is the proposed Rate and Method of Apportionment of Special Tax for the district. The term and structure of the Rate and Method of Apportionment of Special Tax for the South Ontario Logistics Center Services portion is consistent with the City Council's adopted Mello-Roos local goals and policies.
City Staff have discussed the proposed Rate and Method of Apportionment of Special Tax with the landowners. As proposed, the Resolution of Intention to establish the district and to levy special taxes will set a public hearing date on the formation of the community facilities district for the regularly scheduled City Council meeting on Tuesday, October 7, 2025. 33 RESOLUTION NO. ____

At a public hearing conducted by the City Council on July 15, 2025, the City Council adopted a Resolution of Formation of Community Facilities District No. 74 (Remington APG LLC Services); 70 authorized the levy of a special tax and an appropriations limit of the community facilities district; and called a special election for the Community Facilities District. On that date, an election was held in which the qualified electors of the Community Facilities District approved said proposition by more than the two-thirds vote required by the Act. Adoption of the proposed Ordinance to authorize the levy of special taxes within the Community Facilities District will conclude the formation process for the City of Ontario Community Facilities District No. 74 (Remington APG LLC Services). At build out, the project is expected to include three industrial buildings totaling approximately 200,000 square feet.

FISCAL IMPACT:

BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:
On June 24, 2025, the City of Ontario published a notice in the Daily Bulletin announcing a public hearing to consider the introduction of a new chapter regulating Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS), as well as amendments to various sections of the Ontario Municipal Code pertaining to parking violations, camping and storage regulations, trespassing enforcement, and airport rules. Given the significance of introducing a new ordinance related to 76 UAS operations, it is in the City’s best interest to present two separate ordinances: one focused solely on the adoption of the drone ordinance and another encompassing the remaining Municipal Code amendments. This approach promotes transparency and ensures the public has a clear understanding of each proposed legislative action.
Drone Regulations
• The United States Congress has provided the Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”) with exclusive authority to regulate the areas of airspace use, aviation safety, the efficiency of the navigable airspace, and air traffic control. The FAA has provided guidance acknowledging that laws traditionally related to state and local police power (including land use, zoning, privacy, and law enforcement operations) generally are not subject to Federal regulation, and this includes determination of the location of drone landing sites through use powers of the City’s land use powers.
• The operation of Drones can at times pose a hazard to full-scale aircraft in flight and to persons and property on the ground and interfere with active law enforcement, firefighting, or emergency response incidents. Imposing community-based safety requirements on the operation of model aircraft and imposing restrictions on the operation of Drones consistent with Federal law and regulations is necessary to mitigate such risks, and to protect the Public from the hazards associated with the operation of such Drones.
• Adopting a Drone Regulation enhances the City’s ability to address public nuisances and unauthorized activity; clarifies responsibilities and processes for both City staff and the Public; and responds to modern challenges such as Drone use and property encroachment.
Penalty and Enforcement Provisions
• The City is committed to ensuring the Safety of the Public by establishing penalties for violations under the Code and empowering a Police Officer to enforce such penalties and provisions when necessary.
• Code violations are currently classified as infractions unless otherwise specified. The proposed change will designate all violations as misdemeanors, unless the citing officer or prosecuting attorney determines prosecution as an infraction is more appropriate; or a different penalty is explicitly stated within the Code.
Camping and Storage of Personal Property Provisions
• The City is committed to regulating camping and the storage of personal property on private and public property in order to ensure the Safety of the Public. • The City currently regulates camping and storage of personal property under Chapter 23 of the Code, which was most recently amended in 2010.
• The City’s current regulations require amendment to clarify when and where a person may camp or store personal property on private or public property within the City, and to assist law enforcement in enforcing these regulations.
Staff recommends that the City Council:
A. Adopt an Ordinance regulating the use of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS), commonly known as drones;
B. Adopt an Ordinance amending the Municipal Code to:
(1) designate all violations as misdemeanors unless otherwise determined by the citing official or 77 prosecutor, or where otherwise specified;
(2) authorize Police Officers to enforce Code provisions and arrest violators; and (3) clarify regulations related to camping and storage of personal property on public and private property.
If approved, the proposed changes improve consistency and enforceability of the Code; enhances tools for addressing public nuisances and unauthorized activity; and clarifies responsibilities and processes for both City Staff and the Public.

AN AMENDMENT TO THE MAINTENANCE SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH CLEAN
ENERGY FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE COMPRESSED NATURAL GAS FUELING
STATION
CITY OF ONTARIO
Agenda Report
August 19, 2025
SECTION:
CONSENT CALENDAR
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute Amendment No. 4 to the Maintenance Services Agreement with Clean Energy, of Newport Beach, California, for the maintenance of the compressed natural gas (CNG) fueling station in the amount of $150,000 increasing the contract amount from $325,000 to a total not-to-exceed contract amount of $475,000 and extend the agreement for an additional one-year term.
THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:
Operate in a Businesslike Manner
FISCAL IMPACT:
The FY 2025-26 Adopted Budget includes appropriations of $150,000 in the Equipment Services Fund for maintenance and repairs. The total compensation paid by the City will be contingent upon actual services provided at the contracted rates set forth in the agreement and shall not exceed $475,000 over the term.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:
The City has owned and operated the CNG fueling facility since 1995. Over the years this facility has reduced the community’s collective carbon footprint, improved air quality, lowered dependency on fossil fuels and foreign oil, and enabled compliance with the South Coast Air Quality Management District Rule 1193 “Clean On-Road Residential and Commercial Refuse Collection Vehicles.” The facility provides CNG for over 120 City vehicles and Ontario-Montclair School District Buses.
On July 18, 2023, Council approved an Amendment extending the term to June 30, 2025. In 2022 the City upgraded the CNG fueling system with two Industrial Machine Works (IMW) compressors. Clean Energy is the exclusive vendor to commission and provide service for the IMW compressors. Based on their previous history of providing excellent service to the City of Ontario, Staff recommends increasing the total authorized compensation, and extending the term for an additional one-year to ensure the Municipal Services Department can continue to maintain and repair the compressed natural gas fueling station quickly and keep it operational, providing a cleaner burning alternative fuel to the public and reducing the City’s carbon footprint.

Item No: 8
SUBJECT:
AUTHORIZE THE PURCHASE OF FLEET VEHICLES WITH PEORIA FORD
CITY OF ONTARIO
Agenda Report
August 19, 2025
SECTION:
CONSENT CALENDAR
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to approve the purchase and delivery of 14 Ford Police Interceptor Utility Pursuit Vehicles for the Police Department in the amount of $824,000 plus a 10% contingency of $82,400 for a total not-to-exceed amount of $906,400 from PFVT Motors LLC (Peoria Ford), of Peoria, Arizona, consistent with the terms and conditions of the Arizona State Cooperative Contract No. CTR059322-4.
THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:
Maintain the Current High Level of Public Safety
FISCAL IMPACT:
The FY 2025-26 Adopted Budget includes appropriations in the Equipment Services Fund and Grant Fund for the purchase of fleet vehicles. The total cost of the vehicles recommended for purchase is a total not-to-exceed amount of $906,400.
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. One (1) of the Ford Police Interceptor Utility Pursuit Vehicles requested by the Police Department is an addition, as a result of growth throughout the City leading to increased operations. The other 13 vehicles being requested are replacements for existing vehicles.
To secure competitive pricing and streamline the procurement process, the City is utilizing the State of Arizona Cooperative Contract No. CTR059322-4, awarded to PFVT Motors LLC (Peoria Ford). This cooperative agreement was competitively solicited and awarded by the State of Arizona and is available to other government agencies, including the City of 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. 106

AWARD PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT FOR COST ALLOCATION PLAN,
CERTIFIED OMB PLAN, AND INTERNAL SERVICE FUNDS RATE PLANS FOR
VARIOUS CITY FUNDS
CITY OF ONTARIO
Agenda Report
August 19, 2025
SECTION:
CONSENT CALENDAR
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council award a Professional Services Agreement for Cost Allocation Plan, Certified OMB Plan, and Internal Service Funds rate plans to Aptemiz, Inc., for a three-year term for an amount not-to-exceed $180,000 with the option to extend the Agreement for two additional one-year terms for $60,000 per fiscal year; and authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute the Agreement.
THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:
Operate in a Businesslike Manner
FISCAL IMPACT:
The recommended Agreement with Aptemiz, Inc., is for an amount not-to-exceed $180,000 for the first three-year term ($60,000 average per year), with the option to extend the Agreement for two additional one-year terms for $60,000 per fiscal year. The total compensation shall not exceed $300,000. The Fiscal Year 2025-26 Adopted Budget includes appropriations in the General Fund for the Cost Allocation Plan, Certified OMB Plan, and Internal Service Funds Rate Plans for various City funds.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:
The purpose of a Cost Allocation Plan is to recover overhead costs from Enterprise Funds, Special Revenue Funds and Internal Service Funds. The City may also recover indirect costs on Federal and State grants and awards under the Federal Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-87 guidelines, which are now codified in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) at 2 CFR Part 200. A formal Cost Allocation Plan certified by third party supports a fair and defensible cost recovery program for the General Fund. In addition to a Cost Allocation Plan, the City allocates Internal Service Fund (ISF) costs, via chargeback rates, to various funds which include Enterprise Funds, Special Revenue Funds, the General Fund, and other Internal Service Funds. The cost allocation consultant will develop ISF cost of service plans for General Liability, Facilities Maintenance, Equipment Services, and Information Technology Funds. In June 2025, City Staff issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for Cost Allocation, OMB and Internal Service Funds Rate Plans. Staff received proposals from the following vendors:

Vendor (Alphabetical Order)
Location
Aptemiz, Inc.
Van Nuys, CA
Government Consulting Partners
Granite Bay, CA
Matrix Consulting Group
San Mateo, CA
Willdan Financial Services
Temecula, CA
Each proposal was screened by a selection committee comprised of Staff from the Financial Services Agency who evaluated the proposals based on criteria listed in the RFP, including qualifications and experience with similar projects, capacity and technical capabilities, proposed work plan, cost, and references. Of the four proposals received, the committee selected Aptemiz, Inc. as the preferred choice to develop City's Cost Allocation, OMB and Internal Service Fund Rate Plans.

EXHIBIT "A"
SCOPE OF SERVICES
A. Work with the applicable Department in developing service provisions, cost categories, and allocation criteria for current and future programs.
B. Develop an electronic cost allocation model for calculating the full costs of providing each City service.
C. The cost allocation model developed shall be provided to the City electronically in Microsoft Excel, tabulated for compatibility with Excel Pivot Tables, and formatted to provide the ability to add or delete, and/or update information as needed. If the vendor uses its own software, system and/or web portal, then the City also shall have access to mentioned systems and have the ability to add or delete, and/or update information as needed.
D. Develop an Overhead Cost Allocation Plan Model for calculating the full costs of providing each City service and an OMB plan (applicable plan for use with Federal Grants and Programs). These Cost Allocation Plans must comply with all aspects of Federal Office of Management and Budget’s Circular 2 CFR Part 225 (formerly known as OMB A-87, which is titled Part 225 Cost Principles for State, Local and Indian Tribal Governments), Proposition 218 and the California State Controller’s Hand book of Cost Plan Procedures for Counties.
E. The Cost Allocation Plan, the Certified OMB Plan and ISF Rate Plans may include recovering costs for the following City Funds / Operations:
1. Cost Allocation & Certified OMB Plans:
a. General Fund
b. Citywide Fully-Burdened Hourly Staff Labor Rates
2. ISF Rate Plans:
a. Information Technology
b. Equipment Services
c. Facilities Maintenance
d. Liability
F. Develop a model and methodology for gathering data and periodically updating the model as new costs are added or old costs are eliminated or modified. The model should use a spreadsheet or database format that automatically recalculates as cost items are inputted.
G. The model shall provide for “what if”/sensitivity analysis that would easily determine how cost allocations are charged to a department and how a department would be impacted as costs, allocation methods, and services are modified, added, or removed from the plan.
H. The requirements of the model shall allow for the addition or removal of direct and overhead costs so that the cost allocation plans can be developed from a simple plan to a progressively more inclusive plan.
I. Shall have the ability to continuously update the model from year to year as the organization changes.

L. Reports should be provided in summary format that compares allocations from version to version, and year to year. End users should be able to drill down into the details via the use of Microsoft Excel Pivot Tables or other suitable methods.
M. Summary reports or schedules shall be available to verify the inputs, amounts, and costs that are to be spread among the departments. The reports should be prepared in a manner so that is not an administrative burden to the City to verify the plan. The final Cost Plan shall include a Summary Report or a Walk-Through Report to demonstrate how costs flow from the cost to be allocated schedules to the cost exhibit. This report is in addition to the full-cost allocation plan and can be used as a reference by all staff reading the report.
N. All reports shall be prepared in a manner that is easy to read and understand by City staff.
O. Prepare overhead cost allocation plan and participate in the presentation to the City Manager, City staff and/or City Council. Collect and document comments and concerns from City staff and Council members

There is no direct fiscal impact associated with this item.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:
The City of Ontario regularly applies for eligible grants from the Federal Department of Homeland Security and Federal Emergency Management Agency (“FEMA”), which are administered by the State of California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (“Cal OES”), including but not limited to the Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG), Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI), State Homeland Security Grant Program (SHSGP), Hazard Mitigation Grant Programs (HMGP) and Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program (JAG).
Additionally, as federal disasters are declared, or state disasters are proclaimed, authorized Staff submit documentation to CalOES and FEMA regarding expenses and losses incurred by the City of Ontario during a disaster. A current agent’s Resolution maintains the City of Ontario’s eligibility to apply for said eligible grants and disaster assistance.
CalOES also requires that the City submit written authorization from the City Council providing specific standard assurances that the City Council, on behalf of the City, agrees (a) to provide all 138
matching funds required for the project specified in the grant application and that any cash match will be appropriated as required, (b) that any liability arising out of the performance of the grant agreement shall be the responsibility of the City, (c) that the grant funds shall not be used to supplant expenditures controlled by the City Council, and (d) that the City official executing the grant agreement is authorized to do so (collectively, the “Standard Grant Assurances”).
Approval of this Resolution will bring the City into compliance with new grant applications and requests for disaster assistance. The new Resolution updates the list of authorized positions as follows: City Manager, Assistant City Manager, Emergency Manager, Fire Chief, Fire Administrative Director, Police Chief, and Police Administrative Director.
It is recommended that the revised Resolution be effective for all open and future disasters and Eligible Grants effective for three years from adoption of the revised Resolution. 139

BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:
The City’s potable water system includes approximately 630 miles of pipeline. The Water Master Plan calls for an ongoing Capital Improvement Program (CIP) to replace aged, fire flow deficient, and undersized pipelines throughout the City. Additionally, Operations Staff has identified areas of concern in the potable water system that have historically required extensive maintenance and repair. Using the Water Master Plan in conjunction with maintenance data, Staff developed a water main replacement scope in the Downtown area which also includes upsizing water mains to support redevelopment opportunities in the vicinity of this project.
The work under this contract consists of replacing approximately 8,800 linear feet (1.7 miles) of existing water distribution mains ranging from 2-inches in diameter to 12-inches in diameter with 8- inch and 12-inch diameter cement mortar lined coated welded steel pipe (Exhibit “A”). The work will also include the replacement of all valves and appurtenances, including all fire hydrants and water service lines, pavement repair and street restoration.
On May 14, 2025, eight (8) bids were received for Bid No. 1915, Downtown Water Main Improvement Project, OMUC Contract No. UT 1066. The bids ranged from a low bid amount of $7,734,413 to a high bid amount of $10,952,125.

Dominguez General
Engineering Inc.
Pomona, CA
$9,107,310
C.P. Construction Co. Inc.

Various support services will be required during construction. Ardurra Group Inc. will provide construction engineering services, as they are the Engineer of Record and have developed the project's plans and specifications, Ninyo & Moore Inc. will provide geotechnical and material testing 148
services.
The City first contracted with Ninyo & Moore Inc. in May of 2023 after an extensive Request for Qualification selection process for on-call geotechnical and material testing services.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
The project has been reviewed pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has been determined to be categorically exempt from CEQA pursuant to Article 19, Section 15031, which states that operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of Class 1 “Existing Facilities” are exempt from the requirements of CEQA. Thus, no further CEQA analysis is required. 149
