conversion of about 3,200 usable
square feet on the first floor of the
warehouse currently occupied by the
kitchen for storage into the expansion
of the adjacent laundry facilities.
Additionally, the scope included the re-
roofing of and mechanical equipment
upgrade for the warehouse building
being occupied for the new and
existing laundry facility and sergeant’s
office at the Larry D. Smith Correctional
Facility. Portions of the existing roof
structure, roof membrane, weather
barrier, and damaged roof sheathing
were demolished, along with removing
of existing mechanical units, platforms,
and associated infrastructure. New
fascia, trim and eaves were installed,
and all damaged wood was replaced.
Completion date: 2019
Total square feet: 3,200 SF
Final Construction Cost: $5 million
Scope of Work: DLR Group provided
architecture, engineering, and roofing
services. The new Alan M. Crogan Youth Treatment and
Education Center has the number one priority to
rehabilitate youths through treatment, education and
vocation programs. DLR Group’s design of the new
justice facility integrates education and vocation
programs with every day activities, enhances the
quality of the environment and fits into the surrounding community both functionally and aesthetically.
To more effectively rehabilitate youths while also
maintaining security, each living unit is fully equipped with classrooms, recreation, sleeping units, dayroom
space, activity space and interview rooms. Extensive
natural daylighting was incorporated in all dayrooms
and throughout the facility to improve behavior, and a
large visiting area was designed to encourage longer,
more frequent interactions between youths and their
families. The facility is designed to meet future needs of the community, by accommodating a future 10-bed
transitional housing unit on the east side of the facility and 20-bed secure housing unit on the north side of the facility. The entry canopy stretches from the building
over the courtyard/walkway to the main entry to serve
as an aesthetic focal point to the building and shade

Sacramento, CA I Owner: California DGS
DLR Group evaluated the existing roof
at the 900 N. St. Library and Courts II
Building and found that it was past its
end-of-life and needed to be replaced
in its entirety. A new roofing system
would provide better insulation and
improve drainage.
Through their collaborative efforts and vast
experience, DLR Group has partnered with
the County and succeeded in capturing the
essence of a quality educational and rehabilitative
environment in the pursuit of this unique treatment
detention facility. Their knowledge, relationships, and access to State stakeholders make them a valuable
partner in the pursuit of State funded projects such as SB 81.”
The scope of this project involved full
tear-off and replacement of the 42,500
SF roofing system, which included
removing the existing roof covering,
repairing any damaged substrate and
installing a new roof covering.

well as other local college and universities, with
specialized training facilities. DLR Group’s design
addresses the educational needs of medical
professionals throughout the county providing
simulation labs, classrooms and lecture halls by
providing state-of-the-art technology throughout
the building. The objectives of this building are
to provide nursing orientation, specialty training,
new program development and training, patient
education, coordination of outside speakers and
clinical affiliation coordination. Siting this building
on campus with the hospital provides a convenient
location for the hospital’s staff to attend classes, while The scope of work for this project encompassed the new construction of approximately 29,000 S F, 3-story building.
The building was designed as a non-OSHPD/out-patient
building to house training facilities and associated support spaces. The program includes: a lobby, meeting hall
spaces, classroom/education spaces, teaching/simulation areas, administration areas and support spaces. The
simulation or virtual lab learning environments provide specialty training for critical care, labor and delivery, and pediatrics. In addition, community education programs
will be hosted in the building.

physical separation from the hospital facility allows for ease of access for visiting institutions. The design of the building delineates a distinct entrance to the facility, while clear wayfinding signage allows for a simple path of travel for all users. Materials that were utilized throughout the project complement those already found on other campus
buildings, allowing for seamless integration. Upon entering the facility, the lobby area features an open stairwell.
While directly across from the elevator, the strategically located stairwell encourages walking. This is in concert with the facilities’ mission to encourage a healthy working and learning environment and support wellness. Finally, locating administrative space on the top floor affords
privacy to occupants.

operations and the 2nd floor houses Disaster Services
personnel offices and situation rooms. The building is
a steel structure with composite concrete metal roof

was selected to meet the design requirement for an
essential service facility and reduce the construction
cost as opposed to a moment frame structure. A
custom designed air handler was provided which
houses redundant fans within a single rooftop unit.
Back-up generator power is provided via automatic
transfer switches with the existing on-site generator
that serves the Public Safety Building. Sustainable
design strategies employed included recycled-content
metal studs, low-VOC interior flooring and paint, non-

public multi-purpose room. The library embraces
the outdoor amphitheater space to the north with
storefront windows and high clerestory windows

Western Washington was the early epicenter of the

with King County to quickly deliver over 1,000
quarantine, assessment, and recovery beds in various
communities. Within a matter of weeks, facilities
were delivered through rapid assessment, design,
and construction methods. As King County brought
facilities into the project either by lease or purchase, DLR Group provided assessments of each facility and
the unique opportunities and challenges they posed.
WarehouseꢀAC/RCꢀSite
King County leased 80,000 SF of warehouse space
in SODO, the industrial neighborhood just south of
downtown Seattle, to create an Assessment Center and
Recovery Center Site. The warehouse was comprised
of seven separate spaces in various states of disrepair.
DLR Group quickly completed an assessment and
developed a demolition and repair list for the contractor to begin while the design team and owner groups
programmed the space.
The City of Indio wanted a functional, sustainable and
accessible teen center that appealed to teens and
provided a safe place for them to gather after school.
DLR Group’s design delivered a whimsical modern

emoticon-inspired graphics, and an art gallery.

expansions, modernization, and/or renovation of various City sites. DLR Group’s expertise includes bringing
existing City buildings into compliance with current
regulatory requirements including (but not limited to)
the California Building Code and the American with
Disabilities Act (ADA).
• Replacement of Lighting and Control Systems in

day-to-day management of your project. Andrew and
our ProjectꢀManager,ꢀRobertoꢀMarquez, will manage
the project with the ideal goal of no surprises. The
cornerstones of our process will be proactive planning, frequent communication, and diligent tracking of issues.
Regular and clear communication is most effective when
done through face-to-face meetings, with the support of emails, video/conference calls, weekly status updates
and schedule updates. We will review ongoing issues
from a detailed list, ensure progress is being made
per the schedule, and identify problems far in advance
so they may be addressed before they become major
challenges.

• Addition of Energy Management Systems
• Water Conservation and Landscape Renovations
PreliminaryꢀPlanning
• Replacement of Playground Equipment and Surfacing
at City sites
• Renovation and modernization of City facilities
pertaining to restrooms, offices, and ADA upgrades DLR Group begins every project by presenting our anticipated process, tasks and owner involvement
expectations. This generally does not require much more than a couple hours, and it ensures that participants are on the same page with not only what DLR Group intends
to do, but also what we will need from all of you, the
project stakeholders.
• Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Design at City Facilities.
• Replacement or upgrades of Fire Alarm Systems
Monitoring project progress with regard to schedule
milestones and budget issues is essential, and one
of the first steps on the project is to establish project goals and clearly define scope, budget, and schedule
constraints. We involve all parties in this step to avoid misunderstandings later in the life of the project.
Work Plan and Schedule............... Preliminary Planning projects can include a vast array of services that are used to help you determine the next step in meeting your needs. This may be a updating
a Master Plan, providing feasibility studies, facility
assessment, a needs analysis, documenting current
conditions or developing site selection criteria.
The DLR Group Team has designed many complex
projects with multiple users, community stakeholders,
and a variety of functions and users within one
facility. We understand the best design solutions
evolve by understanding, and building on, the common
denominators within the user group’s needs and
expectations.
ResponseꢀtoꢀMultipleꢀTaskꢀOrders Decision-MakingꢀProcessꢀ- Our team experience in public sector work has instilled in us the necessity of using a highly interactive process with client/user group representatives. We focus on understanding your needs
as a basis for asking the right questions—and then listen to the response. It is our role to provide the technical ability, creative energy and ideas, and presentation of information that will facilitate decision-making by the City in establishing a vision for the future and a cohesive plan.
Multiple tasks can be handled by DLR Group at any
giving time due to the depth and experience of staff
available in-house and from our team of consultants.
DLR Group Team Member consultants are required to
assign permanent staff members for each task and we
require that they are “on-board” for the duration of the project. In DLR Group’s experience, this ensures design and production continuity and is the best means of
ensuring proper coordination among the various design
disciplines for the duration of the project. In addition, we require that each Team Member assign a Quality Control
reviewer at the start of each project - a professional who is not otherwise associated with tasks assigned via this contract. This requirement parallels DLR Group’s in-house policy in this regard.
DLR Group’s experience in the design of Civic and
Justice buildings spans the U.S., and includes a variety of building types, frequently with multiple user groups.
We participate in and have a front seat to how other
Cities and Counties are evolving to meet change. We
bring this experience to the City of Rancho Cucamonga
with our Riverside office. We will combine our national
exposure to best practice design solutions with a strong foundation in how the the City of Rancho Cucamonga
works. We believe we are strategically partnered to
provide the City with a beautiful, functional, and forward thinking solutions to these important projects.

DLR Group’s tested process and tools will be
instrumental in accomplishing your goals of leveraging
physical space as a strategic tool. Specifically, our
Management approach focuses on Communication and
Quality Control.
Clarity in communication paths and roles exemplifies
our belief that communication is the back bone of a
successful project. DLR Group has invested in this belief with company-wide tools and technology that keep the
whole team updated in real time, including YOU and
any outside consultants. A CommunicationꢀPlan is
established at Kick-off, and includes a WeeklyꢀUpdate
briefing the team on: Active Phase; Budget Status;
Schedule Status; Upcoming Milestones or Review Dates;
Change Order Summary (if any); Outstanding Concerns or
Key Decisions required that may impact either Schedule
or Budget; and Potential Value Engineering Opportunities.
This weekly update and other communication will be
available via a cloud-basedꢀsecureꢀProjectꢀManagementꢀ
Dashboard, which means all team members are working
with the same knowledge at the same time, and can
document new conversation and field observations with
a mobile app.
DLR Group has a Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/
QC) Program in place, which is documented as a set
of guidelines for each discipline. The QA/QC program
serves as an instructional process intended to minimize document deficiencies, by following a proven approach
for preparing quality documentation. In addition, the QA/ QC program utilizes senior professionals, from technical, managerial and construction practice areas throughout
the review process.
IntegratedꢀDesignꢀQA/QCꢀChecklists
The QA/QC Reviewers use the system checklists
to search for interdisciplinary coordination issues.
Typical review items include: consistency of the
systems selected in prior submittals, technical
soundness of details provided and the accuracy of the
calculations. Cross-references on the drawings are
checked for accuracy. Terminology and systems used
on the drawings and specifications are checked for
coordination.
Communication:ꢀLeadingꢀInformedꢀAction
DLR Group lives and breathes listen.DESIGN.deliverꢀ

The Project Manager, the Project Architect, and support team members are required to use the QA/QC process
and checklists on a phase-by-phase basis to ensure
that the highest quality of service is provided on each and every project. At the end of each business quarter
projects are graded on level of use of the quality
assurance process and a report card is given to each
project manager and design team. These grading
systems are then looked at with the overall career
development of individual employees.
Construction documents that are produced by sub-
consultants are subjected to the same strenuous review
process by the in-house resources at
DLR Group and not allowed to be distributed for use until they reviewed. From an accountability standpoint each
Peer Reviewer initials and dates their review checklists in order to document to you the required independent

QualityꢀControl:ꢀEarlyꢀ&ꢀOften each Project Manager is trained in DLR Group’s Delivery method, with QA/QC checklists to implement at each
phase of design from Predesign and Programming,
through Construction Administration.
At DLR Group, we own our work. This is proven by our
belowꢀindustryꢀaverageꢀpercentageꢀofꢀchangeꢀorders.
But Quality Control doesn’t - and shouldn’t - just happen during construction. Nor should the purview of Quality
Control be restricted solely to Construction Documents.
All of our projects undertake a Quality Control Review
conducted by senior professionals from our in-house
disciplines at every stage of design. A fresh set of eyes here identifies any coordination issues and suggests
an objective solution before it becomes a more costly
issue during permitting or construction. Additionally,
During interdisciplinary reviews, team members identify coordination items, cite errors, and request clarifications based on our standard Drawing Quality Control Checklist.
With early coordination efforts, errors and omissions
are reduced before design submittals are issued to the
Owner or Contractor for construction. This results in
fewer change orders and efficiencyꢀduringꢀtheꢀcriticalꢀ

Schedule control is a driving factor in the success of
each project. The scheduling tools and controls that
will be used throughout the projects to ensure schedule compliance and timely document delivery will be based
on our philosophy “plan the work and work the plan.”
RobertoꢀMarquez will work with representatives from the entire design team and the City of Rancho Cucamonga
to develop a detailed work breakdown structure that
itemizes the milestones, tasks, responsibilities, due
dates, and meetings in order to move the design forward.
Roberto will also keep a master schedule of the project to be reviewed and updated on a monthly basis.
Stepꢀ2—WorkꢀtheꢀPlan DLR Group is respected as a design firm able to program and design to strict budgets. Furthermore, DLR Group is recognized nationally to have design leaders who can show Owner’s how to reduce costs to the lowest appropriate levels. Each project should be able to demonstrate that the cost solution is both appropriate and cost effective.Andrew,ꢀRoberto, and Christopher will identify potential strategies to advance the completion of the project as
well as construction activities. They will develop a work plan to identify project tasks, deliverables, activities, and staffing requirements. This work plan will interface
with the project schedule and be their primary internal management tool. They review work plans weekly to
ensure schedule compliance and staffing requirements.
To facilitate accuracy and adherence, the project team
will approach project schedules from two perspectives:
the macro-level and the micro-level.
KeyꢀCostꢀManagementꢀStrategies
Value Engineering1. DLR Group will use a Component Cost Model Format at the start of every project to bring your
project vision and budget into alignment. We live by
a core principle at DLR Group that will design to your
budget instead of asking our clients to budget to
our design.
2. Careful consideration of constructability and
construction logistics and how site context impacts
unit costs for various phases differently. Analyzing
these areas to determine if an alternate strategy can
result in lower construction costs.
3. Budgeting “total project costs” by phase,
including soft costs and operational cost impact
of construction. Obtaining cost estimates at each
major phase using experienced detention project
estimators validated by trusted local material
suppliers is also critical.
4. Balancing implementation phasing and strategies
with cost realities – recognizing that where possible,
phasing should respond to the optimal amount of
cells the facility can reasonably not operate during
the period of construction. Fewer phases results in
lower construction costs.
Over the past few decades, value engineering has
been associated with slashing and burning project
scope at the last minute before bid to stay within
budget, resulting in surprises for the owner with
the final product. Ourꢀapproachꢀtoꢀ“designingꢀtoꢀ
budget”ꢀisꢀfoundedꢀonꢀtheꢀtraditionalꢀprinciplesꢀofꢀ
valueꢀengineering,ꢀandꢀwhatꢀweꢀlikeꢀtoꢀreferꢀtoꢀas,ꢀ
Value Design. Once project budget, goals and vision
are established, we evaluate each building system
to maintain a proper balance of budget, function,
maintenance/operations, useful life and sustainability
as viewed through the lens of life cycle cost analysis
in order to provide a design solution that results in the best value for our clients. This comprehensive and
foresighted process prevents after bid shock and need
for value engineering after the fact because we have
already done our value designing beforehand.
Stepꢀ1—PlanꢀtheꢀWork Scheduling Tools
For each project, Andrewꢀand Roberto will analyze critical milestones and develop workable schedules with the
City of Rancho Cucamonga stakeholders during the
initial visioning phase of a project. The schedule will be a macro representation of the various project elements
and will include all major milestones including design, permitting, procurement, construction, and occupancy.
DLR Group has been using Microsoft Project software for over a decade to develop detailed design schedules. The overall schedule is then incorporated into our office-wide matrix to optimize staffing assignments.
In addition, normally used as internal scheduling tools DLR Group has created proprietary software to track
individual employee current assignments. All of our
California Region project schedules are loaded into this database and updated on a weekly basis. This helps us
track overall workload by office and region to assure we
will have staff available for projects when needed.
The schedule will establish specific tasks for critical
items including:
• Document production and reviews Integralꢀtoꢀtheꢀsuccessꢀofꢀvalueꢀdesignꢀisꢀcostꢀcontrol.ꢀ We believe that cost control must be integral to the
design process, must be continuous throughout all
phases of the process, and must begin at the very
conception of design. We work with the owner to
develop not only a vision of the building project, but
also a realistic expectation of the costs, beginning
with our first meeting. In order to properly balance the owner’s goals for the building within the constraints of time and money, we work to establish an understanding
of expectations and priorities. We base our estimates
on detailed construction cost estimates that take into
account building system type, construction materials
and extensive details related to design decisions. This method has proven its accuracy over dollar-per-square
foot averaging and allows for the development of value
design.
• City of Rancho Cucamonga reviews and approvals
• State agency reviews and approvals
(as applicable)
5. Value engineering related to obtaining the best
value for funds expended by comparing and
contrasting implementation alternatives such as
incremental completion of an infrastructure upgrade
vs. accomplishing it as a part of a single phase,
recognizing ultimately work may have to be spread
over several phases to avoid “penalizing” any single
phase with costs that could be considered excessive.
6. Developing all costs in today’s dollars with a
separate calculation for overall escalation by phase
that will allow for future adjustment of the budget
based on economic conditions extant at the time.
Facilitating a clear
method for communication,
developing detailed project
schedules along with
cons is tent updating, keeps
our projects on track.
7. Cost-neutral decision making estimates at major
phase lines using experienced detention project
estimators validated by trusted local material
suppliers.

This technology enables architecture and engineering teams to fully visualize and access a building structure as design evolves. We currently use BIM on more than 90 percent of our active projects, and that number is increasing every year. As a firm, we annually invest more than $1 million on hardware, training, and continued development of BIM.
DLR Group uses Autodesk’s most current version of Revit software as our BIM platform. Alternative drawing systems and programs can be used if preferred by a client.

Design Team will use of a variety of visualization tools and presentation techniques to communicate with the City
of Rancho Cucamonga throughout the design phases of
the project. From hand sketches to full-size design and construction mock-ups, the Design Team will utilize the appropriate tool at the appropriate time to bring added value and understanding to the design process. The
ability of all members of our team to effectively engage the City and the Owner Team in design discussions
through strong presentation and interpersonal skills will be the cornerstone of our approach.

NewformaꢀInfoꢀExchange - Unless you have a preferred
alternative method for document management,
DLR Group utilizes a web-based platform, Newforma Info
Exchange, for all project information management needs. TheꢀValueꢀofꢀBIMꢀTechnology This versatile cloud-based tool enables project We’ve found that projects benefit immensely from a well-executed use of BIM. Our methodologies yield value in improved interdisciplinary communications, quality control, enhanced presentations to client stakeholders, and advanced construction planning. Value added benefits of BIM include:
stakeholders real-time access to project communications, including but not limited to RFI’s, submittals, action items and punch list data, as well as compiled record document drawings and specifications. In addition, contracts can
also be managed through this system to enable better
change order tracking and project scope management.
• TimelyꢀDecision-Making: instant 3D views of all systems in any area of the building, used for technical coordination.
• Clash-Detection:ꢀsoftware reveals conflicts between systems and structures. A BIM model can be used by both design and contractor teams to perform advanced constructability review.Some of our effective tools include:
• 3-D Printing If the the City of Rancho Cucamonga has a preferred information exchange platform or process, DLR Group
can certainly utilize that platform.
• AdvancedꢀScheduling: minimizes clerical, notation, and coordination errors. • BIM Modeling & Computer Renderings
• Bluebeam
• ServerꢀFunctionality:ꢀboth local and cloud. Allows design teams to work simultaneously in the same live model with consultants in different locations.
• Facilitated Workshops
• Full Scale Mock-Ups of Key Elements
• Massing and Detailed Models
• Microsoft Project
• IndustryꢀStandardꢀFormat: the ability to push model data out to an industry standard format (COBie) that can be directly loaded into a client’s building management system (CCMS).

EXCEPTIONS SUMMARY
With regard to Article 6.4: We don’t know what “personnel violations” actually means. We don’t like to leave those types of terms open for interpretation. As such, we either request to delete it or ask for clarification.
6.4 Consultant shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless City and RCFPD and its elected officials, officers and employees, servants, designated volunteers, and agents serving as independent contractors in the role of City and RCFPD officials, from any and all liability, damages, claims, costs and expenses of any nature to the extent arising from Consultant’s violations of personnel practices and/or any violation of the California Labor Code. City and RCFPD shall have the right to offset against the amount of any fees due to Consultant under this Agreement any amount due to City and RCFPD from Consultant as a result of Consultant’s failure to promptly pay to City and RCFPD any reimbursement or indemnification arising under this Section 6.
With regard to Article 11: Best practice is to define claims to be limited to third-party indemnity. The other change is alteration to damages “caused b y.” Last alteration is to clarify that Designer is responsible for their negligence for Services, that is what insurance is in place and covers.
11.1 Design Professional Services. In the connection with its design professional services, the Consultant shall indemnify and hold the City and RCFPD, and its elected officials, officers, employees, servants, volunteers, and agents serving as independent contractors in the role of City and RCFPD officials, (collectively, “Indemnitees”), free and harmless with respect to any and all damages, liabilities, losses, reasonable defense costs or expenses arising from third-party claims (collectively, “Claims”), including but not limited to liability for death or injury to any person and injury to any property, to which arise out of, pertain to, or relate to are caused by the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of the Consultant or any of its officers, employees, subcontractors, consultants, or agents in the performance of its design professional services under this Agreement.
11.2 Other Indemnities. In connection with all Claims not covered by Section 11.1, and to the maximum extent permitted by law, the Consultant shall hold defend, indemnify, and hold the Indemnitees free and harmless with respect to any and all Claims including but not limited to Claims relating to death or injury to any person and injury to any property, which arise out of, pertain to, or relate to the negligent acts, omissions, activities or operations of Consultant or any of its officers, employees, subcontractors, subconsultants, or agents in the performance of this Agreement Services. Consultant shall defend Indemnitees in any action or actions filed in connection with any such Claims with counsel of City and RCFPD’s choice, and shall pay all costs and expenses, in proportion to Consultant’s liability, including actual attorney’s fees and experts’ costs incurred in connection with such defense. The indemnification obligation herein shall not in any way be limited by the insurance obligations contained in this Agreement provided, however, that the Contractor shall have no obligation to indemnify for Claims arising out of the sole negligence or willful misconduct of any of the Indemnitees.

SUBJECT: Consideration to Approve Amendment No. 1 to the Cooperation Agreement for the Home Consortium with San Bernardino County. (CITY) RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council approve Amendment No. 1 to the Cooperation Agreement of the Home Consortium with San Bernardino County.
BACKGROUND:
The HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) provides formula grants to states and localities that are used often in partnership with local nonprofit groups to fund a wide range of housing activities. The formula for allocation considers the relative inadequacy of each jurisdiction's housing supply, its prevalence of poverty, its fiscal distress, and other factors.
Despite the City’s direct allocation of CDBG funds, the City is not guaranteed to receive a direct allocation of HOME Funds nor a significant grant amount. Communities that do not qualify for a direct allocation under the formula can join with one or more neighboring localities in a legally binding consortium whose members' combined allocation would meet the threshold for direct funding.
ANALYSIS:
In 2014, the City entered into a Cooperation Agreement (Agreement) with San Bernardino County to be a part of the County’s HOME Consortium. Every three (3) years the County requalifies with the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) as a Consortium to receive an annual allocation of HOME funds. The Agreement has an automatic renewal clause whereby the City notifies the County of the City’s desire to continue to be a member of the Consortium and the Agreement term is automatically extended. HUD has notified the County that the agreement with the City needs to be amended to follow HUD regulations. With approval of Amendment No. 1, the Agreement will be in compliance with HUD regulations. The proposed Amendment, attached to this report, details changes to three sections of the agreement. The changes address withdrawal from the Consortium, the period the agreement remains in effect, and the manner in which amendments or modifications to the agreement must be made.
As a partner in the HOME Consortium the City will benefit from the availability of HOME funds, which would otherwise be redistributed by HUD nationally. Membership in the Consortium ensures funds are made available for use in the in the City. The Agreement will commence July 1, 2024, for a three-year period. Members of the consortium are prohibited from withdrawing from
1 8
4 0
the Consortium during the three (3) year effective period.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There will be no impact to the City’s General Fund to participate as a member of the HOME Consortium.
COUNCIL MISSION / VISION / VALUE(S) ADDRESSED:
Participation in the HOME Consortium supports the City Council’s Vision to create an equitable, sustainable and vibrant city, rich in opportunity for all to thrive by ensuring residents have equal access to a wide array of public services and decent affordable housing with suitable living conditions.

Attachment 1
COUNTY and CITIES explicitly state they each agree to affirmatively further fair housing in their activities.
Section 11 of the Agreement is hereby amended to include the following:

SUBJECT: Consideration of Amendment No. 4 to Contract CO 2020-107 with Champion Fire Systems for Fire Suppression System Maintenance in an Amount Not to Exceed $130,000 for City and Fire District Facilities. (CITY/FIRE)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council and Board of Directors approve Amendment No. 4 to contract CO 2020-107 with Champion Fire Systems extending the term of the contract to June 30, 2024 in an amount not to exceed $130,000 for City and Fire District facilities contingent upon the approval of the FY 2023/2024 budget.
BACKGROUND:
On October 7, 2020, the City Council and Board of Directors accepted the bids received for fire suppression system maintenance and awarded contract CO 2020-107 to Champion Fire Systems. The contract has an option to renew in one year increments up to a total of seven years ending June 30, 2028. With the third year coming to an end, staff is bringing forward the contract as an option for the City Council and Board of Directors to renew CO 2020-107 with Champion Fire Systems for fire suppression system maintenance. The scope of the work for this contract includes but is not limited to; testing, repair, and preventative maintenance for water-based systems, fire extinguishers, fire/smoke doors, kitchen hood systems, fire hose, and clean agent suppression systems.
ANALYSIS:
Champion Fire Systems has submitted a Letter of Intent expressing their desire to continue providing fire suppression system maintenance for the City and Fire District during FY 2023/2024 with no rate increase.
Champion Fire Systems continues to provide reliable service to the City and Fire District. If approved, Amendment 4 to CO 2020-107 will extend the term of the contract to June 30, 2024 with no rate increase or changes to the scope of work or other terms and conditions.

FISCAL IMPACT:
The proposed FY 2023/2024 budget includes a 10% increase totaling $74,110 in various contract services budget line items for City and Fire District fire suppression systems maintenance and repairs. Champion Fire Systems is not requesting a rate increase for FY 2023/2024, therefore, the estimated actuals will be adjusted accordingly in the amended budget to account for the difference between the budgeted increase and the actual cost in contract expenditures.
The contract spending limit of $130,000 includes a contingency of $55,890 for unforeseen work resulting from aging equipment.
COUNCIL MISSION / VISION / GOAL(S) ADDRESSED:
This item addresses the City Council’s Core Value to promote and enhance a safe and healthy community for all by ensuring the City and Fire District facilities are properly maintained.

SUBJECT: Consideration of Amendment No. 6 to Contract No. 18-102 with Absolute Security International for Security Guard Services in an Amount Not to Exceed $550,000 for City and Fire District Facilities. (CITY/FIRE) RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council and Board of Directors approve Amendment No. 6 to contract CO 18-102 with Absolute Security International extending the term of the contract to June 30, 2024 in an amount not to exceed $550,000 for the City and Fire District contingent upon the approval of the FY 2023/2024 budget.
BACKGROUND:
On August 15, 2018, City Council accepted the bids received for security guard services at various City facilities and awarded contract CO 18-102 to Absolute Security International, Inc. The contract has an option to renew in one year increments up to a total of five years through June 30, 2024. With the fourth year coming to an end, staff is bringing forward the contract as an option for the City Council and Board of Directors to renew CO 18-102 with Absolute Security International for security guard services.
The scope of work for this contract includes but is not limited to: restroom lockup and gate closures at City parks, standing guard services, patrol route, special event security, fire watch detail, parking lot monitoring, and loss control. Regular security guard services are provided at the Metrolink Station and armed security guard services are provided at the Public Works Service Center after-hours due to thefts that occurred in previous years. Previously, park restroom lockup and gate closures consisted of a four-hour shift but due to Absolute Security International’s inability to retain staff for only four-hour shifts and the need for additional patrol coverage at parks because of vandalism, the daily park routine coverage was recently increased to eight-hour shifts.
ANALYSIS:
Absolute Security International, Inc. has submitted a Letter of Intent expressing their desire to continue providing service to the City of Rancho Cucamonga and the Fire District during FY 2023/2024 with a 7% rate increase for regular security officer services, 5.93% rate increase for vehicle patrol officer services, and no rate adjustments for armed guard or event security services.

SUBJECT: Consideration of Amendment No. 11 to the Contract with Yunex LLC (Formerly Siemens Mobility, Inc.) (CO# 15-103) for Citywide Traffic Signal and Safety Lighting Maintenance Services in the Amount of $1,259,860. (CITY) RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends City Council approve Amendment No. 11 to the contract with Yunex LLC (Formerly Siemens Mobility, Inc.) (CO#15-103), extending the term for an additional year through June 30, 2024, contingent upon the approval of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2023/2024 Budget, in an amount not to exceed $1,259,860.
BACKGROUND:
On June 3, 2015, City Council approved and awarded a competitively bid contract (CO# 15-103) for Citywide Traffic Signal and Safety Lighting Maintenance to Siemens Mobility, Inc. Yunex, LLC (Formerly Siemens Mobility, Inc.) provides highly specialized technical service for traffic signal and safety lighting maintenance at the City’s 240 locations including signalized intersections, signalized crosswalks, flashing crosswalks, and flashing school beacons. Over the years, Yunex, LLC’s technicians have gained extensive institutional knowledge of the City’s maintenance needs.
The City has two new signal maintenance technicians and the specialized training and experience of Yunex, LLC technicians has been essential to their onboarding and training. This knowledge transfer helps the new technicians gain expertise in maintaining the City's traffic signal and safety lighting systems, ensuring the efficient and effective operation of these critical components of the City's ever-evolving infrastructure. Amendment No. 11 to Contract CO# 15-103 will extend the term one year, through June 30, 2024, with no rate increase. There are no other changes to the Scope of Work, service level, or other terms and conditions.
The annual contract amount listed above includes both routine maintenance and a contingency for extra work. The routine maintenance includes a complete monthly inspection and service at 240 locations, including the City’s signalized intersections, signalized crosswalks, flashing crosswalks, and flashing school beacons. The contingency for extra work is to complete repairs due to unforeseen failures, traffic accidents, or malfunctions of the traffic signal system, safety lighting, or internally illuminated street name signs. Examples of extra work repairs include, but are not limited to:
•Repair or replacement of damaged traffic signal cabinets and controllers;
•Repair or replacement of vehicle detection loops and video cameras; •Repair or replacement of emergency vehicle preempt equipment; •Repair or replacement of uninterrupted power supply equipment; •Replacement of damaged or downed traffic signal poles; •Replacement of damaged Public Safety Video Network (PSVN) cameras; •Replacement of damaged Automatic License Plate Reader (ALPR) cameras; •Rewiring signalized intersections with new cables and conductors; and •Replacement of damaged or downed streetlight poles.
The City of Rancho Cucamonga has 240 locations which are maintained through this contract with some of the equipment reaching their end-of-life expectancy. Consequently, due to the aging traffic signal infrastructure, rain and wind damage, and damage caused by motorist collisions, extra work is necessary.
ANALYSIS:
On April 25, 2023, Yunex LLC submitted a Letter of Intent expressing their desire to continue providing services to the City of Rancho Cucamonga through June 30, 2024, with no rate increase. Yunex LLC continues to provide expedient service to the city. Staff recommends City Council approve and extend the term of Contract No. CO 15-103 to an additional year effective July 1, 2023, contingent upon the approval of the FY 2023/2024 Budget in an amount not to exceed $1,259,860. The contract is on file with the City Clerk’s office.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The funding for Traffic Signal and Safety Lighting Maintenance Services is included in the proposed FY 2023/2024 Budget in Streets Maintenance (1001318-5300) $24,000, Measure I 2010-2040 (1177303-5300) $1,110,100, CFD 2018-01 (1876203-5300) $14,060, State Gas Tax (1174303-5300) $55,000, and Police Administration (1001701-5217) $40,000.

The EAs will be adjusted accordingly in the amended budget to account for the difference between the budgeted increase and the actual increase in contract expenditures.

SUBJECT: Consideration of Amendment No. 12 to Contract CO 16-114 with EMCOR Services/Mesa Energy Systems for Citywide HVAC Maintenance and Repair Services in an Amount Not to Exceed $850,000 for City and Fire District Facilities. (CITY/FIRE)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council and Board of Directors approve Amendment No. 12 to contract CO 16-114 with EMCOR Services/Mesa Energy Systems extending the term of the contract to June 30, 2024 in an amount not to exceed $850,000 for routine maintenance and extra work in City and Fire District facilities contingent upon the approval of the FY 2023/2024 budget.
BACKGROUND:
On April 20, 2016, the City Council and Board of Directors accepted the bids received for citywide HVAC (heating, ventilation, air conditioning) maintenance and repairs and awarded contract CO 16-114 to EMCOR Services/Mesa Energy Systems. EMCOR provides HVAC service to all City and Fire District buildings including maintenance of all chillers, boilers, pumps, package units and cooling towers.
During FY 2022/2023, the City and Fire District facilities experienced various unanticipated major HVAC failures which led to two additional amendments to CO 16-114 to increase the contract amount. These increases were required to account for the needed repairs. The HVAC systems in City and Fire District Facilities are aging, with many systems nearing or exceeding the expected service life. In the event that FY 2023/2024 continues to experience the need for unscheduled HVAC repairs due to fluctuating and erratic weather conditions, staff would like to be prepared for the additional costs by renewing CO 16-114 with an increased contract limit of $850,000.
ANALYSIS:
EMCOR/Mesa has submitted a Letter of Intent expressing their desire to continue providing service to the City of Rancho Cucamonga and the Fire District during FY 2023/2024 with a 6.5% rate increase. EMCOR/Mesa Energy Systems provides reliable service for the City and Fire District and is very knowledgeable of all HVAC systems installed in City and Fire District facilities.
If approved, Amendment 12 to contract CO 16-114 will extend the term of the contract to June 30, 2024 with a 6.5% rate increase and no change to the scope of work or other terms and

EMCOR/Mesa Energy Systems is requesting a 6.5% increase for FY 2023/2024, therefore, the estimated actuals will be adjusted accordingly in the amended budget to account for the difference between the budgeted increase and the actual increase in contract expenditures.
The contract spending limit of $850,000 includes a contingency of $264,160 for unforeseen work resulting from aging facilities and deteriorating HVAC systems. The contingency for extra work will only be used if the need for emergency repairs occurs.

SUBJECT: Consideration of a Resolution Modifying Paying and Reporting the Value of Employer Paid Member Contributions to CALPERS for the Firefighters Local 2274 and Fire Management Employees Group. (RESOLUTION NO. FD 2023-011) (FIRE)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Fire Board of the Rancho Cucamonga Fire Protection District adopt the attached resolution modifying how the District pays and reports the value of employer-paid member contributions (EPMC) to CalPERS for the Firefighters Local 2274 and Fire Management Employees Group.
BACKGROUND:
The Rancho Cucamonga Fire Protection District (the District) has existing written labor agreements that specifically provide for the normal CalPERS member pension contributions to be paid by the employer (the District) and, in accordance with PELRA, reported as additional compensation. This benefit has applied to all District bargaining groups.
The Fire Board previously approved Memorandum of Understandings (MOUs) between the District and Firefighters Local 2274 (Fire Union), and the Fire Management Employees Group (Fire MEG), effective July 2019 through June 2023. These existing MOUs specifically modify how the District will pay and report the value of EMPC.
Although these modifications have been incorporated into the respective MOUs, they must also be adopted by Resolution in accordance with CalPERS regulations.
ANALYSIS:
The existing MOUs include a provision modifying how the District will pay and report the value of EPMC to CalPERS. These modifications are part of the District’s effort, working with employees, to effectively manage pension costs over time by having employees increase their contribution toward pension costs and reducing the District’s payment and reporting of EMPC in phases.
Effective June 24, 2023, this benefit will be reduced to zero, eliminating the percent the District pays towards the normal member contributions as EPMC and reporting the same value of compensation earnable as additional compensation for the following employees:
Firefighters Local 2274:
1 8
4 7
All Classic Safety Employees, Tier 1 and Tier 2, and Classic PERS members who were hired on or after January 1, 2013.
Fire Management Employees Group:
All Classic Safety Employees, Tier 1 and Tier 2, including Fire Chief; and All Classic Miscellaneous Employees, Tier 1 and Tier 2, and Classic Pers members who were hired on or after January 1, 2013.
Staff recommends the Fire Board approve the attached resolution modifying paying and reporting the value of EPMC to CalPERS for the Firefighter’s Local 2274 and Fire Management Employees Group.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This change will result in long-term cost savings for the District by reducing both PERS contributions and PERS rates.
COUNCIL MISSION / VISION / GOAL(S) ADDRESSED:
This action supports the City Council’s Core Values of intentionally embracing and anticipating the future and working cooperatively and respectfully with each other, staff, and all stakeholders.

SUBJECT: Consideration of a Resolution Approving the Annual Local Responsibility Area Wildland Protection Agreement with the California Department of Forestry and Fire in the Amount of $215,210 for FY 2023-24. (RESOLUTION NO. FD 2023-013) (FIRE)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the Fire Board of the Rancho Cucamonga Fire Protection District (District) adopt a Resolution approving the annual renewal of Local Responsibility Area (LRA) Wildland Protection Agreement No. 3CA06324 with the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (Cal FIRE) for $215,210.
BACKGROUND:
On October 1, 2015, Rancho Cucamonga Fire Protection District contracted with Cal FIRE to provide supplemental wildland fire protection of 1,206.60 acres of wildland within the District. The Fire Board approves the renewal of the Cal FIRE agreement annually.
The City of Rancho Cucamonga also annexed 4,104 acres of State Responsibility Area (SRA), known as the Etiwanda Heights Plan, into the city limits. Approving the annexation required additional supplemental wildland fire protection from Cal FIRE. The total acreage of the wildland contract for FY 2023-24 is 5,271 acres.
The wildland/urban interface area of Rancho Cucamonga is prone to wildfire. As witnessed in the October 2003 Grand Prix Fire and the April 2014 Etiwanda Fire, the magnitude of these wildfires, in terms of suppression efforts and response, far exceeds the capabilities of the District’s on-duty fire crews. Local city fire departments and districts routinely rely on mutual aid to assist each other in large-scale incidents. Mutual aid is a like-for-like provision of resources without cost to the receiving agency. The suppression of massive wildfires is enhanced by utilizing water and retardant-dropping aircraft, hand crews, dozers, and various overhead management positions.
These specialized resources are critical for the initial suppression of a wildland fire. The District does not have these dedicated resources or enough overhead to fill all the needed positions on a complex local mutual threat zone wildfire. The State of California realizes that fires in the Rancho Cucamonga wildland/urban interface are a mutual threat to the SRA and formulates available agreements with local agencies on a per-acre fee.

2 1
ANALYSIS:
Through this Agreement, Cal FIRE would assume the primary financial responsibility for suppressing wildland fires in the contract area. Our LRA, City incorporated land, would be supported with resources and a level of service provided on the adjacent SRA land without the significant unfunded liability burden.
In the event of a significant wildfire in the contract area, fire suppression costs would likely exceed the proposed contract amount. If the Fire Board chooses not to renew the LRA Wildland Protection Agreement, the actual cost of retardant-dropping aircraft, hand crews, dozers, and various overhead management positions utilized to suppress wildland fires in our LRA will be the responsibility of the Fire District.
Annual amendments to the Agreement are required to reflect any changes in Cal FIRE’s costs for providing this service.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The FY 2023-24 LRA Wildland Protection Agreement per acre rate is $36.45. The total cost of the Agreement is $215,202.52, which includes a 12.01% administrative fee. In anticipation of this Agreement, the District budgeted funds in account 3281508-5300 (Fire Suppression/ Contract Services).
COUNCIL MISSION / VISION / GOAL(S) ADDRESSED:
This item combines portions of the Council’s vision and core values by providing a sustainable City and promoting a safe and healthy community for all. This is accomplished by ensuring our City responders have the specialized resources to contain and suppress wildland fires effectively.

PASSED, APPROVED, AND ADOPTED this 7th day of June 2023.
DATE:June 7, 2023
TO:Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM:John R. Gillison, City Manager
INITIATED BY: Mike McCliman, Fire Chief
Rob Ball, Fire Marshal
Darci Vogel, Fire Business Manager
SUBJECT: Consideration of a Resolution Confirming Unpaid Weed and Fire Hazard Abatement Fees and Authorizing a Special Assessment on Affected Parcels on the Next Tax Roll. (RESOLUTION NO. 2023-044) (CITY/FIRE) RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution confirming unpaid weed and fire hazard abatement fees for calendar year 2022 and authorizing a special assessment of those fees against the associated parcel on the next tax roll.
BACKGROUND:
In 2010, the City Council adopted Ordinance 832, which is codified as Chapter 8.46 of the Municipal Code, providing for the removal of seasonal grasses, weeds, and other fire hazards.
The Municipal Code authorizes the Rancho Cucamonga Fire Protection District, serving as the City’s fire department, to perform weed and fire hazard abatement on behalf of the City.
In accordance with the provisions of the Municipal Code, the Fire District provided notice to abate weeds and fire hazards to the owners of record of undeveloped parcels and provided a completion date for the required abatement work. Owners receiving such notices were advised of their right to object and appeal the order to abate.
Parcels that were not abated by the compliance date were referred to an approved contractor who was authorized to perform the required abatement work by order of the Fire District. The contractor who completed the abatement work provided itemized invoices for the cost of the abatement work for each parcel. In accordance with the terms of the contract between the Fire District and the weed abatement contractor, the invoices from the contractor have been paid with Fire District funds.
Using the itemized invoices submitted by the contractor, the Fire District prepared a report for the Finance Department that detailed the charges and fees for each parcel where the hazards were abated by the contractor. The Finance Department generated invoices based on the information provided in the report. The Fire District then created Notices of Payment due for the owners of the parcels where abatement work was completed. These Notices included detailed itemization of the charges and fees being billed by the Fire District for the cost of weed and fire hazard abatement services provided by authorized contractors. As allowed by Fire District Resolution FD
1 8
2 3
10-035 and where applicable, the Fire District included a re-inspection fee and an administrative fee in the Notices of Payment Due.
The Notices served as invoices from the Fire District to the parcel owner of record. Each Notice advised the owner of the terms of payment as well as the owner's right to appeal the amount of the invoice in whole or in part and provided instructions for how to file an appeal. The report included with this resolution shows, by parcel and invoice number, the total amount of all charges for the work completed by the contractor and Fire District fees that have not been paid in accordance with the terms of the Notice of Payment Due. There are 154 invoices affected by this resolution.
ANALYSIS:
In accordance with the Municipal Code, the City Council must confirm by resolution the unpaid fees in order for the Fire District to make a formal request to the County Auditor for an unpaid weed and fire hazard invoice to be a special assessment on the parcel and included on the next tax roll. The resolution offered herewith serves that purpose. This legislative action is required each time special tax assessments are sent to the County Auditor. Staff brings this matter to the Council once a year.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The weed and fire hazard abatement program was designed to be cost-neutral by recovering all charges and expenses associated with completing work required to bring non-compliant parcels into compliance with the City’s weed and fire hazard abatement requirements. The resolution offered for consideration places the cost for the necessary work with the property owners whose choice or inaction resulted in the Fire District expending budgeted funds. By using all available means to recover the costs incurred by abating the hazards, the Fire District is ensuring that the weed and fire hazard abatement program will not have a fiscal impact on the City or the Fire District.
COUNCIL MISSION / VISION / VALUE(S) ADDRESSED:
By ensuring that costs incurred by the Fire District for weed and fire hazard abatement services are paid by the property owners through cost-recovery efforts, the City Council reaffirms its long- standing commitment to fiscal responsibility. With the program being cost-neutral through cost- recovery, weed and fire hazard abatement has long-term sustainability. The wildfire risk and hazard reduction achieved by this program contributes to a high quality of life for all and enhances the safety and health of all members of the community.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO
CUCAMONGA CONFIRMING AN ITEMIZED WRITTEN REPORT SHOWING
THE ACTUAL COSTS OF WEED AND FIRE HAZARD ABATEMENT FOR EACH
SEPARATE PARCEL OF LAND AS REQUIRED BY CALIFORNIA
GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 39574, PROVIDING THAT EACH SUCH COST
OF ABATEMENT SHALL CONSTITUTE A SPECIAL ASSESSMENT AGAINST
EACH LISTED PARCEL OF LAND PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA
GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 39577, AND PROVIDING FOR THE FILING OF SAID REPORT WITH THE COUNTY ASSESSOR.
WHEREAS, California Government Code Section 39502 authorizes the City of Rancho Cucamonga (City) to adopt an ordinance providing for the removal of grass, weeds, rubbish and other materials that can be dangerous or injurious to neighboring property or the health and welfare of residents in the vicinity and make the cost of removal a lien on the property.
WHEREAS, The City adopted Ordinance 832, which is codified as Chapter 8.46 of the Municipal Code, providing for the removal of grass, weeds, etc. as allowed by the Government Code.
WHEREAS, Chapter 8.46 of the Municipal Code authorizes the Rancho Cucamonga Fire Protection District (District), serving as the City’s fire department, to perform weed and fire hazard abatement on behalf of the City.
WHEREAS, The District provided notice to abate weeds and fire hazards to the owners of record of unimproved parcels and provided a completion date for the required abatement, all as required by law.
Owners receiving such notice were advised of their right to object to and appeal the order to abate.
WHEREAS, Parcels not abated by the completion date were referred to approved contractors to perform the required abatement work, by order of the District.
WHEREAS, The District was provided with itemized billings for the cost of abatement for each parcel by the abatement contractors. Using the itemized contractors’ billings, the District prepared an itemized, written report setting forth all abatement costs for each affected parcel, as required by California Government Code Section 39574 (written report). Prior to the adoption of this Resolution, the District billed the owners of record of the affected parcels listed in the written report for the cost of abatement, plus approved administrative fees as authorized by Government Code Section 39573 and District’s fee resolution (collectively, costs of abatement).

DATE:June 7, 2023
TO:Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM:John R. Gillison, City Manager
INITIATED BY: Elisa C. Cox, Assistant City Manager
Hope Velarde, Management Analyst I
SUBJECT: Consideration of a Resolution Approving the Application for Grant Funds from the Habitat Conservation Fund Program. (RESOLUTION NO. 2023- 045) (CITY)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council approve the Resolution No. 2023-045, approving the application for grant funds from the Habitat Conservation Fund Program.
BACKGROUND:
Protecting, restoring, and enhancing wildlife habitat and fisheries are vital to maintain California’s quality of life. The impacts of the increase in the State’s human population results in an urgent need to fund projects that protect rapidly disappearing wildlife habitats that support California’s unique and varied wildlife resources. In response to this need, the people of California voted to enact the California Wildlife Protection Act of 1990, Chapter 9, Fish and Game Code (FGC) § 2780 through 2799.6, which largely defines the Habitat Conservation Fund (HCF) Program.
The underlying concepts for the program and eligible projects include nature interpretation programs to bring urban residents into park and wildlife areas, protection of various plants and animal species, and acquisition and development of wildlife corridors and trails. Specifically, the money in the Habitat Conservation Fund shall be used for the following purposes:
a) The acquisition of habitat, including native oak woodlands, necessary to protect deer and mountain lions.
b) The acquisition of habitat to protect rare, endangered, threatened, and/or fully protected species.
c) The acquisition of habitat to further implement the Habitat Conservation Program pursuant to Article 2 (commencing with Section 2721) excepting Section 2722 and subdivision (a) of Section 2723, and § 2724 and 2729.
d) The acquisition, enhancement, and/or restoration of wetlands. e) The acquisition, restoration, and/or enhancement of aquatic habitat for spawning and rearing of anadromous salmonids and trout resources.
f) The acquisition, restoration, and/or enhancement of riparian habitat.
The Habitat Conservation Fund Program allocates approximately $2 million per year to the California Department of Parks and Recreation and requires a 50% match.

ANALYSIS:
Staff and the City’s lobbying and grant writing firm, Renne Public Policy Group (RPPG) are seeking funds from the Habitat Conservation Fund program to purchase approximately one- hundred-twenty (120) acres of land (Kings Ranch) surrounding Cucamonga Canyon Trail for conservation in and around the trailhead and Cucamonga Canyon to protect the natural and cultural resources of the area. Conservation needs for Cucamonga Canyon were identified and outlined through a multi-agency management plan that consisted of federal, county, and local government partners and was finalized in late 2022. Cucamonga Canyon is in the eastern region of the San Gabriel Mountains, just south of the section of the 12,781-acre Cucamonga Wilderness Area located within the San Bernardino national forest. The Canyon is not included in this dedicated wilderness, but is ecologically connected through biological, geological, and hydrological elements consistent and dependent between the two regions. The Canyon has waterfalls and pools that attract large groups of visitors each year from throughout the Southern California region. Phase one of the project, which was partially funded through Fiscal Year 2023 federal appropriations, includes the construction of the Cucamonga Canyon trailhead and trail connector to existing trails in the San Bernardino National Forest. The construction of the trailhead will improve quality of life for area residents who neighbor Cucamonga Canyon, and provide adequate parking, and clear public access into the Canyon.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Staff is requesting $1 million from the Habitat Conservation Fund and $1 million from the City’s General Fund, approved by City Council, will be matched.
COUNCIL MISSION / VISION / VALUE(S) ADDRESSED:
This item addresses the City Council’s core value of promoting and enhancing a safe and healthy community for all, as well as intentionally embracing and anticipating our future. This item also incorporates working together cooperatively and respectfully with each other, staff, and all stakeholders.

II. HABITAT CONSERVATION FUND PROGRAM
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Competitive Program Intent
Protecting, restoring, and enhancing wildlife habitat and fisheries are vital to maintain California’s quality of life. The impacts of the increase in the state’s human population results in an urgent need to fund projects that protect rapidly disappearing wildlife habitats that support California’s unique and varied wildlife resources.
In response to this need, the people of California voted to enact the California Wildlife Protection
Act of 1990, Chapter 9, Fish and Game Code (FGC) § 2780 through 2799.6, which largely
defines the Habitat Conservation Fund (HCF) Program. Other legislation that impacts the
program includes Fish and Game Code § 2720 – 2729, Government Code § 7550 – 7550.6 and
