AN AMENDMENT TO THE AGREEMENT TO RENEW THE SUBSCRIPTION FOR THE AIRHUB PREMIUM PLAN WITH AIRSPACE LINK, INC.

CITY OF ONTARIO
Agenda Report
August 18, 2026
SECTION:

CONSENT CALENDAR

RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute Amendment No. 4 to the current Agreement with Airspace Link, Inc., of Detroit, Michigan, for the Airhub Premium Subscription Renewal in the amount not-to-exceed $576,000.

THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:

Operate in a Businesslike Manner
FISCAL IMPACT:

The Fiscal Year 2026-27 Adopted Budget includes appropriations from the Information Technology Fund for the annual subscription renewal for Airspace Link, Inc. The proposed Amendment term for the Subscription Agreement will be for one additional year, with an optional renewal period for one year and, increases the authorized contract amount by $192,000, which includes $96,000 for year one, and $96,000 for year two for a total contract amount not-to- exceed $576,000. The ﬁxed billing rates speciﬁed in the current Agreement will determine the amount charged for services and reﬂect the actual services provided. If approved, appropriations will be added to the future years’ budgets consistent with the annual budget adoption process.

BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:

Since April 2021, the City of Ontario has partnered with Airspace Link, Inc., a drone management company, to support the management of drone ﬂights and assist with planning for the future use of drones within the City. Airspace Link, Inc. provides the City with a digital platform that integrates with the Federal Aviation Administration’s Low Altitude Authorization and Notiﬁcation Capability program. The platform supports real-time communication and coordination between drone pilots and the City, helping facilitate safe and lawful drone operations within controlled airspace.

As part of its work with the City, Airspace Link, Inc. completed a citywide Drone Readiness Assessment to evaluate the City’s existing capabilities, identify potential drone-related use cases, and assess challenges and opportunities associated with expanding drone operations. The assessment has helped inform the City’s planning eﬀorts and preparations for the continued adoption of drone technology.
891
The Agreement also includes the use of Geographic Information Systems technology to create and maintain a digital map of the City’s airspace. The map identiﬁes controlled airspace, including areas surrounding Ontario International Airport, and provides information regarding temporary ﬂight restrictions and other operating limitations. The information is regularly updated to assist drone pilots in determining where and when flights may be conducted.

Airspace Link currently provides the City’s UAS operations platform and has mapped the City’s operating airspace to support the planning and execution of safe UAS operations. The platform also serves as the City’s system of record for historical non-Public Safety UAS operations, pilot information, and fleet data.

Airspace Link has also developed a City-speciﬁc integration between its UAS platform and the City’s Service Portal. This integration is currently being implemented to streamline UAS operational workflows, improve data consistency, and reduce manual administrative processes.

Selection of Airspace Link provides continuity with the City’s existing UAS program, preserves access to historical operational data and existing system conﬁgurations, and allows the City to leverage the integration work already completed. Transitioning to another platform would require migration and validation of existing data, reconﬁguration of operational workﬂows, and redevelopment of the Service Portal integration, resulting in additional cost, Staﬀ eﬀort, implementation time, and potential operational disruption.

The continued partnership will provide the City with access to Airspace Link Inc.’s platform and technical expertise to manage drone activity, support regulatory compliance, and evaluate future opportunities for municipal drone operations. Staﬀ requests City Council approval to amend the Agreement to increase the total contract amount to a not-to-exceed amount of $576,000, with an additional one-year term and an optional second one-year term. 892

The total cost for the recommended action is $2,751,059.

The Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Adopted Budget includes appropriations in the Water Capital Fund to provide construction and construction support services for this project. This project is one of several projects identiﬁed in the Water Revenue Bond issuance approved by City Council on July 16, 2024. There is no impact to the General Fund.

BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:

On August 19, 2025, Contract No. UT1066 was awarded to Norstar Plumbing & Engineering, Inc., Ardurra Group Inc., and Ninyo & Moore, Inc. for the construction and construction support services for Downtown Water Main Improvements Project. On June 4, 2024, Z&K Consultants, Inc. was awarded a City Council-approved on-call Professional Services Agreement to provide construction management and inspection services. Utilizing the approved expenditure authority under the on-call agreement, the City issued a task order to Z&K Consultants, Inc., to provide construction management and inspection services in support of the Downtown Water Main Improvements Project. A location map is provided for reference (Exhibit "A").

During construction of Public Works Contract No. SM2302 Sultana Storm Drain Project, City Staﬀ identiﬁed the need to replace approximately 2,100 linear feet (0.39 miles) of existing aging and undersized water distribution mains along “H” Street between Euclid Avenue and Campus Avenue (Exhibit "A"). Design plans for the main water replacement had previously been completed.

Additionally, during construction of the storm drain improvements, a leak was discovered in the existing water main, conﬁrming the deteriorated condition of the pipeline and reinforcing the need to proceed with the planned replacement. The additional work will replace the existing water distribution mains with 8-inch-diameter cement mortar-lined and coated welded steel pipe. The work will also include the replacement of all associated valves and appurtenances, including ﬁre hydrants and water service lines, as well as pavement restoration and street improvements within the project limits. Replacing the water mains concurrently with the Sultana Storm Drain Project will minimize inconvenience to residents by coordinating construction activities and allowing pavement restoration to occur only once, thereby avoiding future street excavation, additional pavement replacement, and associated construction disruptions to the adjacent residents.

Based on Norstar Plumbing & Engineering, Inc.’s performance on the existing scope of work for the 901
Downtown Water Main Improvements Project, and their ability to complete the work in a cost- eﬀective and timely manner, Staﬀ recommends approval of the proposed Change Order No. 1 to Contract No. UT1066 to allow for construction of the replacement of the 8-inch diameter water main along H Street.

City Staﬀ determined that independent bidding the additional scope of work would be contrary to the public interest because, by virtue of Norstar Plumbing & Engineering, Inc.’s existing mobilization, it can perform the added work for less than any potential competing bidder.

Support services will be required during construction. Ardurra Group, Inc., will continue to provide construction engineering services as they are the Engineer of Record and have developed the project’s plan and speciﬁcations; Ninyo & Moore, Inc., will continue to provide geotechnical and material testing services, and Z&K Consultants, Inc., will continue to provide construction management and inspection services.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:

The projects 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. 902

REFERENCE: PROPOSAL FOR CONSTRUCTABILITY REVIEW SER VICES – H STREET

Dear Mr. Yang,

In accordance with your request, Ardurra Group, Inc . (Ardurra) is pleased to provide this proposal for Constructability Review Services and Engineering Se rvices During Construction (ESDC) on the subject project. Based on a preliminary search using the US A DigAlert design look up tool, there may be existi ng communications and electric utilities along H Street, from Euclid Ave to Campus Ave, which are not shown on the plans. The plans are dated February 2016 and were designed by Albert A. Webb Associates, the engineer of record. The plans only show existing Sewer, Water and Gas facilities along H Street, and field conditions may have changed in the 10 years since t he project was designed. Our assumptions and knowledge of the current design are limited to what is shown on the plans, the information obtained from USA DigAlert and our experience designing similar projects in the City of Ontario. Our proposed scope of work will include the following:

SCOPE OF SERVICES
Constructability Review Services
Ardurra will provide constructability review services. Services anticipated to be provided include:

• Project Plan Review: Perform a review of the proposed project plans. Identify a reas that the Ardurra team feels are missing information, may be misinterpreted, or are contradictory and may result in a potential claim to the project. Ardurra will also evaluate the proposed improvements in regard to standard construction practices and po ssible conflicts and comment on constructability of the project.

• Project Site Review: Perform a review of the proposed project site. Ardu rra’s Construction Management personnel will visit the project in orde r to compare existing conditions to those shown on the project plans. Areas of concern will be noted on the project plans with suggested and solutions.

Deliverables:

Ardurra will provide a redlined set of drawings as well as a Summary Table of all comments for trackin g purposes.

Mr. Yang

9665 Chesapeake Drive, Suite 230 | San Diego, CA 92123 | 858.413.2400 | www.ardurra.com

Limitations:

Ardurra’s review will be of a constructability natu re, based on our experience and “lessons learned” gained through our Construction Management role on previous similar projects. Our review is in no way to be interpreted as a technical review of the engineering aspects of the plans and specifications.

Responsibility for the engineering adequacy and accuracy of the plans and specifications remains with the Engineer of Record.

Engineering Services During Construction

• Project management: Provide project management, administration, invoici ng, billing, and monthly progress reports. This task also includes c ommunication, coordination and cooperation with the City’s staff and the City’s Construction Manager.

• Site Visits: Attend periodic site visits to monitor the progress , performance and asses any conflicts which may arise during the course of cons truction and will coordinate these visits with the City’s construction Management team.

•
Construction Progress meetings: Attend construction progress meetings.

• Requests for Information (RFI) : Review and Respond to Contractor’s Request for I nformation (RFIs) the duration of the project (Assumed 3 total). Responses will be provided within (5) working days and in accordance with the Contract Documents.

• Submittal Reviews: Review and respond to contractor’s submittals for the duration of the project (assumed 10 total). Assuming that the submittals approved for the UT1066 can be applied since the materials of construction are the same.

• Design Revisions: Prepare construction field order changes and design changes, as required during construction. Ten (10) design revisions are assumed.

• As-built Record Drawings: Prepare record drawings per City’s standard process. Final drawings provided via PDF. It is Ardurra’s assumption that t he City will provide CAD drawings for the as- built record drawings. If CAD drawings are not avai lable, Ardurra will redline the plans provided by the City.

Funding for the additional $230,000 for Fiscal Year 2027-28 will be requested through the annual budget process and is subject to City Council approval.

BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:

The Housing Services Department administers a variety of federal, state, and local funding sources that support housing and community development programs beneﬁting Ontario residents. These funding sources include, but are not limited to, the U.S.

Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG), HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME), the State Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA), and local General Fund resources dedicated to affordable housing initiatives.

Managing these programs requires specialized knowledge and expertise of grant requirements, program rules, reporting, and other technical areas. The City uses Avant Garde, Inc. to provide this expertise and support Housing Services staﬀ in managing the programs and meeting all applicable 933
federal and state requirements.

On September 4, 2025, the Housing Services Department issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for consulting services focused on the administration of the City's HUD entitlement grant programs.

The City entered into the Professional Services Agreement with Avant Garde, Inc. on February 17, 2026, with a three-year term and a not-to-exceed amount of $100,000. Since the agreement was executed, Avant Garde, Inc. has provided critical support with grant administration, helped the Housing Services Department maintain compliance with federal requirements, and supported the successful administration of the City's grant-funded programs.

The Housing Services Department has also implemented two new housing assistance programs. In addition to supporting the administration of the City's HUD entitlement grants, Staﬀ recommends expanding Avant Garde, Inc.'s scope of work to assist with the administration of the following programs:

1 .

Keys to Community Exterior Beautiﬁcation Grant Program - provides grants of up to $10,000 to eligible owner-occupied homeowners for exterior facade improvements that enhance neighborhood appearance and preserve neighborhood quality. 2 .

Keys to Community Homeowner Rehabilitation Loan Program - provides zero-interest loans of up to $30,000 to eligible homeowners and qualiﬁed homebuyers with household incomes at or below 120 percent of the Area Median Income (AMI) to complete essential health and safety improvements that preserve housing quality and improve long-term affordability.

Under the proposed Amendment No. 1, Avant Garde, Inc. will provide additional support for these programs, including application intake, eligibility determinations, income veriﬁcation, construction management, ﬁle administration, reporting, and overall program administration. This additional support will supplement the work of Housing Services staﬀ and improve the eﬃciency of program administration. By assisting with these activities, the consultant will help the Housing Services Department process applications in a timely manner, provide resources to residents more quickly, and ensure compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local requirements.

The current agreement term is through January 25, 2028. However, the original $100,000 is not suﬃcient to cover the expanded scope of services through the end of the agreement term.

Amendment No. 1 will increase the agreement by $460,000, for a revised not-to-exceed amount of $560,000 over the three-year term.

Staﬀ recommends approval of the proposed amendment No. 1, which will ensure the continued delivery of professional grant management and program administration services. 934

CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

Agenda Report
August 18, 2026
SECTION:

PUBLIC HEARINGS

RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council adopt a Resolution authorizing the submission of a Prohousing Designation application to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD).

THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:

Pursue City's Goals and Objectives by Working with Other Governmental Agencies Focus Resources in Ontario's Commercial and Residential Neighborhoods Invest in the Growth and Evolution of the City's Economy Operate in a Businesslike Manner
FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no direct ﬁscal impact associated with this action . Adoption of the
Resolution will strengthen the City's competitiveness for State grant funding opportunities that support aﬀordable housing production, infrastructure improvements, and related community development projects. Any grant funding awarded as a result of this action will be brought to the City Council for future consideration and acceptance.

BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:

The 2019-2020 California State Budget Act established the Prohousing Designation Program (PDP), which is administered by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). The program recognizes jurisdictions that help increase and speed up housing production.

Obtaining a Prohousing Designation can help the City access State funding opportunities. For certain HCD funding programs a Prohousing Designation is required for a jurisdiction to be eligible to apply for. For other State funding programs, the designation provides additional points or other competitive advantages during the application process. These funding programs support affordable housing production, infrastructure improvements, and other community development projects. 940

To qualify for a Prohousing Designation, a jurisdiction must have a Housing Element certiﬁed by HCD, be current with its Annual Progress Report and comply with applicable State housing laws.

The jurisdiction must also submit a complete Prohousing Designation Program application and a resolution adopted by the governing body authorizing the application.

HCD reviews each application based on the jurisdiction's existing housing policies, programs, and investments. A minimum score is required to receive a Prohousing Designation. Based on the Staﬀ's self-assessment, Ontario received 67 points, exceeding the minimum score required for designation.

The application is based entirely on policies and programs that the City has already adopted. No new policies or changes to existing policies are proposed as part of this application. Participation in the Prohousing Designation Program does not impose additional requirements or limit the City's local authority beyond those already established under State law.

Adoption of the Resolution will authorize Staﬀ to submit the PDP application to HCD. HCD will review the application, provide the City with an opportunity to respond to and comment on requests for additional information, and then issue a ﬁnal determination. Upon receipt of a Prohousing Designation, Housing Services staﬀ will apply for funding through HCD's Prohousing Incentive Program.

Staff recommends adopting the Resolution and applying for the Prohousing Designation Program. 941

Appendix 5: Homeless Encampment Template

Subchapter 6.6 Prohousing Designation Program requires applicants to confirm that its treatment of encampments on public property complies with and will continue to comply with the constitutional rights of persons experiencing homelessness. An application must include a one-page summary demonstrating how the applicant has enacted best practices in their jurisdiction related to the treatment of unhoused individuals camping on public property , consistent with the United States Interagency Council on Homelessness’ “7 Principles for Addressing Encampments (June 17, 2022). The following template and certification are included to help jurisdiction s meet this threshold.

The City of Ontario uses a coordinated, housing -focused approach to addressing homelessness and encampments that aligns with the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness (USICH) Principles for Addressing Encampments. Through collaboration, outreach, shelte r access, and housing navigation, the City prioritizes long -term housing solutions while balancing public health and community safety.

Principle 1: Establish a Cross-Agency, Multi-Sector Response to Encampments The City maintains a collaborative response that includes the Housing Services Department, the Ontario Police Department, Community Improvement, Public Works, San Bernardino County Behavioral Health providers, healthcare partners, the Continuum of Care, an d nonprofit service providers. Regular coordination occurs through case conferencing, outreach operations, regional homeless services meetings with the San Bernardino County Coordinated Entry System and Continuum of Care, West Valley Steering Committee meetings, and partnerships with community stakeholders to address encampments and connect individuals to resources.

Principle 2: Engage Encampment Residents to Develop Solutions Ontario's outreach model emphasizes relationship -building and voluntary engagement.

Outreach staff meet individuals where they are, assess needs, and collaborate to identify individualized pathways to shelter, treatment, reunification, and permanent housin g.

Individuals receive advance notice and engagement opportunities before major encampment interventions, whenever feasible.

Principle 3: Conduct Comprehensive and Coordinated Outreach The City operates dedicated street outreach teams that provide ongoing engagement across Ontario. Outreach services include providing snacks, water, heat, and cold weather prevention supplies, housing navigation, enrollment in the San Bernardino County Coordinated Entry System, benefits assistance, behavioral health referrals, substance use treatment connections, family reunification, document readiness, and transportation assistance. Outreach activities are coordinated with regional service providers and p ublic safety partners to ensure continuity of care.

Principle 4: Address Basic Needs and Provide Storage
988

Ontario's outreach teams help address immediate needs by distributing basic necessities, providing referrals to medical and behavioral health services, offering hygiene resources, providing motel voucher program assistance when appropriate, and connecting people to emergency shelter at the Ontario Wellness Center. The City partners with providers, such as IVRS, San Antonio Regional Hospital, and Kaiser Permanente, who can address urgent health and safety concerns while maintaining a focus on stabilization a nd housing outcomes.

Principle 5: Ensure Access to Shelter or Housing Options The City has established the Ontario Wellness Center (OWC), a low-barrier navigation center that provides shelter, case management, and housing -focused services. In addition to OWC placement, the City assists individuals in accessing emergency shelter, interim housing, rapid rehousing, permanent supportive housing, family reunification, and other permanent housing opportunities. Housing Stabilization services are also provided by two social workers hired by the city of Ontario to prevent homelessness. Encam pment resolution efforts prioritize available shelter and housing options whenever possible.

Principle 6: Develop Pathways to Permanent Housing and Supports Ontario's approach emphasizes respectful engagement, trauma -informed practices, and the preservation of personal dignity. Outreach and shelter services are voluntary and designed to support informed decision -making and to connect residents with available r esources and opportunities for stabilization.

Principle 7: Create a Plan for What Will Happen to Encampment Sites After Closure The City uses data collection, case management systems, Coordinated Entry participation, and outcome tracking to evaluate program effectiveness and improve service delivery.

Encampment response efforts are informed by measurable outcomes, housing placement s, service connections, and ongoing collaboration with regional partners. In 2025, the City of Ontario opened the Ontario Wellness Center, providing 8 emergency beds and 26 interim rooms for the homeless population. Street outreach responded to 806 service calls, processed 168 motel voucher intakes, and served 129 clients through housing stabilization services.

The City of Ontario's homeless response system reflects a comprehensive, housing -first, and service-oriented approach consistent with USICH guidance. Through coordinated outreach, low-barrier shelter access, regional partnerships, and a commitment to permanent housing solutions, Ontario continues to implement practices that support individuals experiencing homelessness and the broader community. Ontario provides the full spectrum of programs and services, including street outreach, emergency shelter and mot el voucher placement, transitional housing, permanent affordable housing, and stabilization services.
