Approach to Successful Grant Seeking
We believe that successful grant seeking begins long before a deadline. Our approach is rooted in preparation, strategic alignment, and a clear understanding of what makes a project fundable. We don’t just write grants; we help our clients build the internal clarity, capacity, and timing necessary to consistently compete at a high level.
Our process begins with a rigorous evaluation of project readiness. Before recommending a pursuit, we help clients assess whether a project is clearly defined, well -supported, and competitively positioned. This means asking essential questions:
• Is the problem clearly articulated?
• Is the funding opportunity a true match?
• Do we have the resources and partnerships needed?
Docusign Envelope ID: 06CDC476-D361-85A0-8163-E328062AFE6F
CPPG | City of Rancho Cucamonga RFP 10
• Are the goals aspirational but realistic?
• Can we demonstrate capacity to implement and measure success?
To guide this evaluation, we apply a structured readiness model that ensures each proposal is grounded in strategic fit, feasibility, and funder expectations. This seven-step framework, outlined in the graphic above, has become a key tool in helping clients move from concept to competitiveness with greater confidence and success.
Once a project is deemed ready, CPPG moves through a disciplined development cycle:
Preparation, Development, and Submission. Each phase is governed by a detailed work plan, clear timelines, and defined roles for every participant. We conduct structured kickoff meetings, maintain consistent communication, and enforce quality control protocols to ensure that the final product is not only technically complete but also reflective of the client’s voice, priorities, and execution readiness.
We also continuously scan the funding landscape to identify high -probability opportunities at the federal, state, and regional levels. Each opportunity is evaluated through our “fit and readiness” lens so that clients pursue the right grants at the right t ime with the greatest likelihood of success. Our goal is not simply to submit proposals, but to build sustainable grant-seeking capacity that supports long-term strategic goals and maximizes return on investment.

Project Scope Of Work
Legislative Advocacy
• State Legislative Engagement, Tracking, and Advocacy : CPPG will track, review, and analyze any introduced or amended legislation and advocate on matters impacting the City’s operations, authority, and autonomy in the State Budget. We will assist in evaluating proposed legislation and identifying priorities based upon the potential impact on the City, and we will consult on and develop documents that include draft policy positions, budgetary letters, a customized priority legislative tracking matrix according to your specifications, legislative and budget analysis, and background papers to ensure that you are kept informed and that your voice is heard by policymakers and amendments needed to advance your goals and priorities.
• Explore General Fund Opportunities: We will work with your staff to identify state General Fund opportunities and secure letters of support from your state legislative delegation and state agencies for pending grant applications.
• Relationship Building: As California enters a gubernatorial election year in 2026, CPPG will proactively cultivate relationships with incoming Administration officials, newly appointed agency heads, and the legislative leaders who will shape the 2027 session, ensuring that Rancho Cucamonga's priorities are known and respected from the earliest days of the new Administration. CPPG will build on your presence in Sacramento to develop robust ties with Docusign Envelope ID: 06CDC476-D361-85A0-8163-E328062AFE6F
CPPG | City of Rancho Cucamonga RFP 13
legislative leaders, the Administration, and key State agencies and staff. Our firm will continue to foster relationships with the Governor’s Office, EPA, HCD, DOF, Caltrans, CalSTA, CTC, and other departments with relevant programs and initiatives. Our existing knowledge of the City's political relationships, delegation dynamics, and legislative priorities allows us to focus immediately on advancing the City's agenda rather than building context.
We will strategize in advance on messaging, ensuring groundwork is laid for the City’s bill proposals. This comprehensive approach is vital for success at the critical moment when a vote on a controversial bill takes place.
• Federal Monitoring and Analysis: While CPPG is not a registered Federal advocacy firm, we will provide client-specific analysis of major Federal legislative packages, and as requested by the City, consult and advise in the drafting of letters, CIP requests, and other items. This also includes working collaboratively with our grant writing team to submit Federal Earmarks through Community Project Funding (House) Congressional Direct Spending (Senate). • Participate and Advise in Annual Legislative Strategic Planning : CPPG understands the importance that a proactive, forward -looking strategy plays in the City's overall success.
Building on our established working relationship with City staff and leadership, CPPG will continue to conduct annual deep -dive sessions to assess the previous year's outcomes, identify emerging priorities, and refine the City's multi-year legislative strategic plan. Rather than learning your organization from the ground up, we bring three years of institutional knowledge of the City's goals, challenges, and political landscape, which allows us to move quickly and strategically at the start of each new legislative year. • Onsite Representation: CPPG will represent the City at policy -related meetings, conferences, events, regulatory proceedings, legislative hearings, and other appropriate venues to deliver comments and testimony and provide you with a consistent presence in the state Capitol.
• Frequent and Consistent Communication: We will deliver monthly policy status reports and detailed recaps in addition to supplemental materials during key legislative milestones (e.g., budget process memos, bill introduction deadlines, end of session, etc.).
Additionally, we will conduct monthly Zoom check-ins with your staff, with the frequency increasing upon request during legislative sessions, and will be supported by an updated legislative matrix. These meetings will facilitate in-depth discussions on legislation and the latest developments.
• Educational Tour : Using your legislative priorities, CPPG is prepared to conduct an educational tour in the Capitol to drive awareness on the issues of greatest importance to the City. This will ensure that the appropriate communication channels with legislative staff and legislators remain open throughout the 2027-2028 legislative session and beyond. • Targeted Engagement with Statewide Local Government Association and Local Agency Partners: CPPG has proven working relationships with the League of California Cities, Docusign Envelope ID: 06CDC476-D361-85A0-8163-E328062AFE6F
CPPG | City of Rancho Cucamonga RFP 14
California State Association of Counties, Rural Counties Representatives of California, Urban Counties of California, California Municipal Utilities Association, Association of California Water Agencies, California Special Districts Association, and other statewide local government advocacy organizations. When appropriate, will incorporate a blended strategy to achieve success on all matters of import to the City. • FPPC: CPPG will file all required forms on behalf of the City, including but not limited to forms 602 (annual Lobbying Firm Activity Authorization) and 635 (Report of Lobbyist Employer).
Grant Writing and Research
• Proposal Development: CPPG will provide grant writing and proposal development services from start to finish of the proposal development process. This includes preparing funding abstracts, project narratives, and the required forms and attachments. The grant writer will convene a kickoff meeting for each project and outline expectations for all staff involved in preparing the application. Optimizing your use of resources and staff time is an overarching priority for our team. CPPG will develop a strategic work plan for each proposal, take the lead in scheduling meetings, and work to obtain relevant information from stakeholders. • Collaborative Approach: CPPG utilizes a collaborative grant writing process to compile highly competitive proposals. Our skilled consultants understand that leveraging the subject matter expertise of our clients is critical to success. We use cloud-based document-sharing services to enable real-time feedback from the client throughout the proposal development process. When there is an active project, the assigned grant writer will schedule weekly/bi - weekly calls to provide a consistent check-in point.
• Quality Control: Prior to submitting a grant application, CPPG’s grant writer will review the contents of the narrative and each attachment, check for typographical or grammatical errors, and ensure that all required components for a complete proposal are included in the application package.
• Funding Advocacy: CPPG’s grant writers work in partnership with our Sacramento lobbying team to schedule meetings with state departments to promote awareness of priority projects. CPPG will also notify legislators about grant applications in their districts and request letters of support to include with grant applications. • Progress Monitoring and Grant Tracking: CPPG’s team will provide monthly Grant Activity Reports that identify grant applications in progress, funding opportunities being tracked by CPPG’s team on behalf of the client, and the outcomes (awarded/pending/rejected) of submitted grant applications. T racking lists are organized based on identified focus areas and aligned to the client’s priority projects. Each client’s tracking list is reviewed monthly for updates, and mid-month grant releases are flagged based on the customized tracking list. • Funding Opportunity Research: CPPG conducts continual and comprehensive research to keep clients informed of upcoming grant opportunities. Proactively identifying funding priorities allows staff and consultants to focus grant -seeking efforts in a way that supports the client’s long -term strategic goals and helps strategically align grant -seeking activities Docusign Envelope ID: 06CDC476-D361-85A0-8163-E328062AFE6F
CPPG | City of Rancho Cucamonga RFP 15
with council -approved priorities. CPPG clients receive a monthly “Funding Opportunities Catalog” documenting current and cyclical grant programs administered by federal, state, and regional agencies.
• Monitoring the State Budget: CPPG’s Director of Grant Services works directly with legislative advocates who provide updates and analysis on the state budget and relevant bills, allowing the Grant Services Team to proactively identify upcoming opportunities, the creation of new grant programs, and changes to existing grant programs.
• Strategic Planning: CPPG works directly with organizational leadership teams to identify funding and service gaps to inform grant -seeking activities. Our team will build on the foundation established through years of deep dive meetings with City departments, refining and updating our understanding of the City's priority projects and long -term goals as they develop, and ensuring our grant tracking and re search efforts remain closely aligned with council-approved objectives.
• Grant Readiness: CPPG’s consultants will support the client’s efforts to proactively identify priority projects and triage potential grant opportunities to support these projects. As part of this effort, our consultants will vet projects for competitive viability to suppo rt the development of strong grant applications.
• Peer Review: CPPG’s consultants are available to provide peer review for grant applications prepared by the client’s own staff.
• Organizational Support: Upon request, CPPG’s consultants will work with the client’s staff to assess areas for improvement in the client’s grant -seeking efforts, assess past performance, and support the implementation of best practices to support successful efforts. CPPG will continue to work with the client’s Interdepartmental Grants Team to ensure consistent communication and share upcoming opportunities.

Areas of Policy and Funding Expertise
CPPG brings decades of hands-on experience in state policy, public finance, and local government operations. Our team understands the political, regulatory, and administrative dynamics that shape California, and we use that expertise to help cities turn their policy goals into real-world outcomes.
We represent local agencies of all sizes and levels of complexity across California, but our deepest expertise lies in serving growing, mid -sized cities that face the full weight of state policy pressure without the political leverage of the state's largest urban centers. Cities like Rancho Cucamonga sit at the intersec tion of rapid growth, regional economic significance, and sustained legislative scrutiny, which must navigate housing mandates, infrastructure demands, fiscal threats, and a shifting federal funding landscape all at once. These are the clients for whom sustained, relationship-driven advocacy matters most, and they are the clients we are built to serve.
In Rancho Cucamonga, our work has helped advance the City's legislative priorities , secure competitive state and federal funding, and build a legislative presence that positions the City as a credible and effective voice in Sacramento. These results reflect our core philosophy: that effective advocacy must be both proactive and protecti ve. On the proactive side, our team worked with the City in sponsoring SB 800 (Reyes), securing a political win on suicide prevention barrier policy that has opened the door to deeper engagement on the issue, including the City's current sponsorship of AB 2267 (Garcia).
CPPG also worked closely with then -Assemblymember Eloise Gómez Reyes and the Natural Resources Agency to defend a previously awarded $3.2 million state earmark for the City's First Responder 9/11 Memorial Park project after it was frozen amid the state's $73 billion budget deficit, securing the release of those funds and allowing the project to move forward. On the protective side, CPPG led the opposition campaign against SB 1494 (Glazer), which would have prohibited the local sales tax revenue sharing agreements central to Rancho Cucamonga's logistics economy, ultimately stopping the measure in the Senate. When SB 499 (Stern) was introduced to address gaps left by the prior year's SB 937, CPPG worked directly with the bill's sponsor and lawmakers to expand the measure to include connection and capacity charges, ensuring local agencies retained the ability to collect mitigation fees needed to fund the infrastructure that supports growth. And when SB 79 (Wiener) advanced as a one-size-fits-all transit-oriented development mandate, CPPG worked with the broader local government coalition to secure substantial amendments before final passage, Public Safety and Criminal Justice Economic Development Firefighting and Wildfire Prevention Workforce Development and Gov.

including a full exemption for San Bernardino County. These examples are a testament to our three years of sustained advocacy on behalf of the City of Rancho Cucamonga.
A Track Record of Results: Legislative Advocacy in Action
City of Burbank
(Demonstrated Skills: Stopping Detrimental Legislation, Coalition Building, Fiscal Impact Analysis) SB 445 (Wiener) High -speed rail: third -party agreements, permits, and approvals: regulations (2025-26 Legislative Session)
CPPG led a coordinated effort to stop SB 445, legislation that would have imposed unrealistic permitting timelines and undermined local authority over complex infrastructure coordination, public safety, and environmental review processes.
To counter the bill, CPPG deployed a strategy grounded in coalition building and rigorous fiscal and operational analysis. CPPG partnered closely with the League of California Cities, the California Municipal Utilities Association, and the Association of C alifornia Water Agencies to form a broad - based opposition coalition representing local governments and critical infrastructure providers.
CPPG worked directly with the City of Burbank, which provided critical, real-world data and analysis on the fiscal and operational impacts of the proposal, including risks to infrastructure coordination, project delivery timelines, and exposure to signific ant cost burdens. This information was used to educate legislators and committee staff on the practical consequences of the bill.
Through this coordinated coalition advocacy and data-driven opposition strategy, CPPG helped elevate critical concerns with SB 445 and positioned stakeholders to successfully challenge provisions that would have significantly impaired local government operations and fiscal stability.

City of Thousand Oaks
(Demonstrated Skills: Advancing Priority Legislation, Coalition Building, Blended Advocacy Strategy) SB 346 (Durazo) Local agencies: transient occupancy taxes: short-term rental facilitator (2025- 26 Legislative Session)
CPPG advanced SB 346 through a blended advocacy strategy that combined statewide coalition leadership with targeted, client -specific legislative engagement. Working in close partnership with the League of California Cities, CPPG helped lead a unified local government coalition, including Urban Counties of California and Rural County Representatives of California, to elevate the fiscal and housing impacts of unregulated short-term rentals.
At the same time, CPPG engaged directly with key legislative gatekeepers, including the Assembly and Senate Local Government Committees, to provide tailored, jurisdiction -specific data demonstrating revenue loss, enforcement challenges, and housing impacts. This approach ensured that broad coalition priorities were reinforced with precise, locally grounded evidence.

California Association of Recreation and Park Districts (CARPD) (Demonstrated Skills: Advancing Sponsored Legislation, Coalition Building) SB 499 (Stern) Residential projects: fees and charges (2025-26 Legislative Session)
In the wake of the last -minute gut-and-amend of SB 937 (Wiener, Chapter 290, Statutes of 2024), local agencies, including recreation and park districts , were left grappling with how to determine which development mitigation fees were required to be deferred and which could still be collected at the time of application. SB 937 failed to recognize that parks, open space, and parkland play an essential role in public safety, serving as natural fuel breaks, floodplains, and staging areas for first responders.
In response, CARPD sponsored SB 499 to ensure that park and recreation districts, along with other local agencies, retain the ability to collect specified mitigation fees when parks, open space, and park facilities are identified in a local hazard mitigation plan or local safety element.
As sponsor of the bill, CPPG worked hand in glove with Senator Stern (D-Malibu), serving as the lead negotiator throughout the legislative process. Our team acted as lead testimony, developed background materials, committee briefings, advocacy documents, and technical amendments necessary to secure passage. While in the second house, the bill was amended to expand its scope beyond parks to explicitly include the timely collection of connection and capacity charges.
Despite opposition from powerful special interest groups, CPPG led a broad and diverse coalition, including public safety organizations, major utilities, and cities across California , to successfully advance SB 499.
Led by: Dane Hutchings and Ethan Nagler
City of El Cerrito
(Demonstrated Skills: Stopping Detrimental Legislation, Coalition Building, Fiscal Impact Analysis) SB 423 (Gonzalez) Housing: real property transfer taxes: affordability covenants (2025 -26 Legislative Session)
In the final days of the 2025 legislative session, SB 423 was gut and amended to include sweeping restrictions on local real property transfer taxes, posing significant and immediate fiscal risks to cities statewide. The proposal would have prohibited the imposition of transfer taxes on certain newly constructed residential and commercial properties for extended periods, creating substantial potential revenue losses and limiting local fiscal flexibility.
CPPG rapidly mobilized a coordinated opposition strategy focused on stopping the late -session proposal. Working directly with city staff, including the City of El Cerrito and other municipal clients, CPPG gathered and conveyed jurisdiction-specific data on projected revenue losses and long-term fiscal impacts. This real -time financial analysis was critical in demonstrating the magnitude of the proposal’s effect on local budgets and essential services.
In parallel, CPPG led coalition -building efforts with the League of California Cities, local legislative delegations, and external partners , including the California Professional Firefighters , to elevate concerns and build unified opposition. This coordinated approach ensured that both statewide impacts and city-specific fiscal consequences were clearly communicated to legislative leadership.

cities and local government agencies at the State Capitol. As a political strategist and registered lobbyist, Dane has successfully championed policies in transportation, land use, homelessness, and governmental transparency. His expertise in navigating th e State Budget process has secured millions in one -time earmarks and preserved critical state funding streams for CPPG clients, even during challenging fiscal years.
In the FY 24 State Budget cycle, Dane, in partnership with the CPPG team, successfully secured $15 million for client priorities despite historic state deficits. In 2023 alone, he played a key role in obtaining nearly $40 million in one-time funding for local government clients, thus demonstrating a consistent ability to deliver tangible, impactful results.
Prior to founding CPPG, Dane served as Legislative Representative and Federal Policy Liaison at the League of California Cities, where he advised city officials on issues including labor relations, privacy and technology, governmental transparency, the Brown Act, and workers’ compensation. His early career at Ogilvy, a top -tier public affairs firm, laid the foundation for his unique ‘inside-outside’ advocacy approach, which combines direct legislative engagement with strategic coalition building to protect and advance local government interests. During his tenure at Ogilvy, Dane engaged in multiple issue -based campaigns specifically designed to support legislative strategies for both public and private sector clients. His work spanned a diverse array of organizations and policy areas, including the California High -Speed Rail Authority, the California Office of Traffic Safety, the Community College League of California, the California Earthquake Authority, and the Department of Water Resources.
In 2011, at the height of cartel -related violence in Mexico, Dane was tapped to join Ogilvy ’s crisis communications team for Mexico’s Secretaría de Turismo. In that capacity, he worked with national and international publications, private companies, and government officials to manage communications, promote safety initiatives , and strengthen economic development ties with California, showcasing his adaptability and skill in managing complex, high -stakes public policy challenges.
Dane’s deep relationships across the Capitol, the Administration, and state agencies, coupled with his understanding of city operations, position him to effectively represent Rancho Cucamonga’s legislative and funding priorities at the state level.

SUBJECT: Consideration of Amendment No. 005 to the Professional Services Agreement with Crown Pointe Investigations, LLC for Pre-Employment Background Investigation Services in the Amount of $8,000. (FIRE) RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the Fire Board approve Amendment No. 005 to the Professional Services Agreement, CO# FD 2021-006, with Crown Pointe Investigations, LLC for in the amount of $8,000 annually for pre-employment background investigation services.
BACKGROUND:
The Fire District conducts an extensive and comprehensive pre-employment background investigation on all prospective uniformed firefighter personnel. This process is important because of the role of Fire District personnel in the community. Firefighters are trusted with the lives of residents, the safety of children, and protection of possessions and property. They are accepted into residents’ homes and businesses during times of fire and medical emergencies. They also provide support to residents through activities such as fire safety visits at local schools, career day presentations, and emergency-preparedness training.
Areas that are investigated as part of the pre-employment background process include:
•Personal: name, aliases, birth date, social security number, tattoos, citizenship, etc.
Relatives and acquaintances are contacted regarding suitability to be a firefighter. •Education: high school, college, trade school, and any other sources of diplomas, certificates, and degrees, received or in progress, are verified. •Residences: residences for the last 10 years are verified. •Employment: all employment history, including part time and voluntary jobs, are verified and inquiries are made with current and past employers and co-workers. •Military Service: registration with the Selection Service System is verified and military service records are evaluated, if applicable.
•Financial: responsibility, dependability, maturity, and liability in regard to meeting financial obligations are evaluated.
•Legal: criminal inquiries are made at the local, state, national, and if necessary, international level. Investigation is made into all possible and actual criminal conduct. •Motor Vehicle Operation: behavior as it relates to driving ability and judgment is reviewed, as well as verification of required automobile insurance.

On October 21, 2019, the Fire District and Crown Pointe Investigations entered into a Professional Services Agreement (PSA), CO# FD 2019-017, for pre-employment background investigation services. The term of the agreement was through June 30, 2021, with an amount not to exceed $40,000 annually.
On July 1, 2021, the Fire District continued its partnership with Crown Pointe Investigations by entering into a new PSA, CO# FD 2021-006, for services through June 30, 2023, in an amount not to exceed $24,000.
On May 24, 2022, the Fire District approved contract Amendment No. 001 with Crown Pointe Investigations to increase the total compensation from $24,000 to $44,920.
On August 2, 2023, the Fire District approved contract Amendment No. 002 with Crown Pointe Investigations for pre-employment background investigation services as a single source vendor.
The amendment also increased the annual contract amount to $50,000 and extended the term of the contract through June 30, 2024 with an option to renew in one year increments up to a contract total of seven (7) years.
On July 15, 2024, the Fire District approved contract Amendment No. 003 with Crown Pointe Investigations to extend the contract term through June 30, 2025.
On June 11, 2025, the Fire District approved contract Amendment No. 004 with Crown Pointe Investigations to extend the contract term through June 30, 2026.
ANALYSIS:
The Fire District anticipates hiring up to sixteen (16) firefighters and 5 (five) ambulance operators during FY 2026-27. Hiring needs are due to existing vacancies, anticipated retirements, and new positions due to the staffing required for implementation of the County ambulance contract. This will require the completion of approximately twenty-four (24) firefighter and 8 (eight) ambulance operator pre-employment background investigations. The Fire District historically completes additional pre-employment backgrounds to ensure a sufficient number of applicants successfully complete the process due to the potential of applicants withdrawing from the hiring process, taking a position with another agency, and/or not passing the background investigation.
The relationship with a background investigator involves a high level of trust, confidence, and collaboration. Since utilizing Crown Point Investigations, the Fire District has experienced a higher level of service than previously experienced. They have proven to be efficient and cost-effective.
The thoroughness, timeliness, and quality of the pre-employment background investigations has been unparalleled. As a result, the Fire District now has a higher standard and expectation for services provided.
In order to provide continuity of operations and ensure the hiring of qualified personnel, staff recommends that the Fire Board approve Amendment No. 005 to CO# FD 2021-006 with Crown Pointe Investigations to incorporate the following:
1. The parties agree to amend Section 3, Compensation, to increase the total not-to-exceed compensation under the Agreement from $50,000 to $58,000.
2. The parties agree to amend Section 2, Term of Agreement, to extend the Agreement for an additional two (2) years from July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2028. This will be the final year of the Agreement.

All other Terms and Conditions of CO# FD2021-006 will remain in full effect.
FISCAL IMPACT:
For FY 2026-27, a total of $33,000 is budgeted for pre-employment background investigation services in account F281 CC501 SC2106 P0121 (Fire Administration / Contract Services). The estimated expense for completion of thirty-two (32) pre-employment background investigations is $58,000. Sufficient funding is available in the Fire Fund to cover the increased expense associated with the contract amendment.

SUBJECT: Consideration of a Resolution Establishing a Refund Delay Loan Program Related to a Third-Party Payroll Tax Reporting Error and Authorization to Appropriate $500,000 for Expense and Revenue. (RESOLUTION NO. FD 2026-017) (FIRE)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the Fire Board:
1. Approve a Resolution establishing a Refund Delay Loan Program related to a third-party payroll tax reporting error; and
2. Authorize an appropriation of $500,000 to the Fire Capital Reserve Fund (F288) for both expense and revenue.
BACKGROUND:
In early March 2026, the Fire District and City became aware of a potential issue related to reporting employee tax withholdings to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and State of California.
Multiple Fire District employees reported receiving letters from the IRS and/or State reducing their expected tax refund or placing their refund on hold for a review estimated to take a minimum of 60 days with the potential of extensions.
Upon further review by Finance, it was determined that employee tax withholdings were accurately reflected on employee pay stubs and 2025 W-2 tax forms, however IRS and State records were incomplete and did not reflect the full amount of those tax withholdings. The issue was pinpointed to the fourth quarter tax reporting period for Fire District employees only. Prior to the City and Fire District’s transition to Workday, quarterly payroll tax reporting was processed in- house by City finance staff. With the implementation of Workday, that responsibility was outsourced to a third-party payroll service provider.
On March 19, 2026, Fire District employees were notified that the third-party payroll service provider had processed and submitted the amended fourth quarter payroll tax filings to both the IRS and the State. Fire District employees were advised that processing of the amended filings by the IRS and State would take approximately 8-12 weeks.

1 1
On April 14, 2026, Fire District employees were notified that the processing of the amended tax filings was complete and that both IRS and State records reflected the correct payroll tax withholdings for the 2025 calendar year.
ANALYSIS:
As a result of the error with the 2025 fourth quarter payroll tax filing, a total of 52 Fire District employees had their tax refunds reduced or placed on hold pending review of the information reported in their taxes. Multiple employees have received letters from the IRS further extending the timelines for review of their taxes indicating possible future extensions with an unknown resolution date. The total cost of the withheld tax refunds across all affected employees is approximately $500,000 based upon information received directly from Fire District employees.
Due to the uncertain timelines on when the IRS and State will issue the refunds, staff recommend establishing an employee Refund Delay Loan Program in order to assist affected employees. The loan program will be zero interest and will be available to all eligible Fire District employees whose tax refunds have been delayed. Employees must provide proof of their tax refund amount and IRS delay notification. Loans are repayable in full one (1) year from the date of receiving the loan or within 21 days of when the employee receives their tax refund, whichever is earlier.
Staff recommends the Fire Board approve a Resolution establishing a Refund Delay Loan Program related to a third-party payroll tax reporting error and delegating authority to the City Manager to develop the administrative procedures and finalize the terms of the loan program.
Staff also recommends authorization of an appropriation of $500,000 to the Fire Capital Reserve Fund for the expense of issuing loans and collecting revenue that will be received from employees repaying their loans.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Refund Delay Loan Program is not accounted for in the Fire District budget for FY 2026-27.
The estimated potential expense is $500,000 based upon data received directly from impacted employees. Appropriations in the following accounts will be needed for the loan program:
Account No. Funding Source Description Amount
F288 CC501 SC2503 P0065 Fire Capital
Reserve Fund Misc. Expenditures $500,000
F288 CC501 RC6002 P0065 Fire Capital
Reserve Fund Other Revenue ($500,000)
Due to the cost recovery structure of loan program, expended funds will be fully recovered from the Fire District employees who opt to participate.
COUNCIL MISSION / VISION / GOAL(S) ADDRESSED:
This item brings together portions of the Council’s vision and core values by providing a sustainable City and ensuring the relentless pursuit of improvement. This is accomplished by the resolution of the third-party payroll tax reporting error and ensuring accurate reporting of employee tax withholdings.

A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE RANCHO
CUCAMONGA FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT, COUNTY OF SAN
BERNARDINO, STATE OF CALIFORNIA, AUTHORIZING CREATION OF
A REFUND DELAY LOAN PROGRAM RELATED TO A THIRD-PARTY
PAYROLL TAX REPORTING ERROR.
WHEREAS, in March 2026, the Fire District and City Finance became aware of a potential issue related to reporting employee tax withholdings to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and State of California. Multiple Fire District employees reported receiving letters from the IRS and/or State reducing their expected tax refund or placing their refund on hold for a review estimated to take a minimum of 60 days with the potential of extensions.; and
WHEREAS, it was determined that employee tax withholdings were accurately reflected on employee pay stubs and 2025 W-2 tax forms, however IRS and State records were incomplete and did not reflect the full amount of those tax withholdings. The issue was pinpointed to the 4th quarter tax reporting processed by a third-party payroll service provider. The reporting issue impacted Fire District employees only; and
WHEREAS, the third-party payroll service provider processed and submitted amended 4th quarter payroll tax filings to both the IRS and the State; and
WHEREAS, a total of 52 Fire District employees had their tax refunds reduced or placed on hold pending review of the information reported in their taxes. Multiple employees have received letters from the IRS further extending the timelines for review of their taxes indicating possible future extensions with an unknown resolution date. The total cost of the withheld tax refunds is approximately $500,000; and WHEREAS, the tax reporting error has caused direct financial harm to Fire District employees; and WHEREAS, due to the uncertain timelines on when the IRS and State will issue the refunds, staff recommends establishing an employee Refund Delay Loan Program. The loan program will be zero interest and available to all eligible Fire District employees whose tax refunds have been delayed. Loans are repayable one year from date of receiving the loan or when the employee receives their tax return, whichever is earlier. Employees must provide proof of their tax refund amount and delay notification; and
NOW, THEREFORE, THE PRESIDENT OF THE RANCHO CUCAMONGA FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT HEREBY RESOLVES:
1. Approve creation of the employee Refund Delay Loan Program related to a third-party payroll tax reporting error.
2. Delegation of authority to the City Manager, or designee, to develop the administrative procedures and finalize the terms of the Refund Delay Loan Program.

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. 2026-058) (CITY/FIRE)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council / Fire Board adopt a resolution confirming unpaid weed and fire hazard abatement fees for Fall 2024 and authorize a special assessment of those fees against the associated parcel on the next tax roll.
BACKGROUND:
In 2010, the City Council adopted Ordinance 832, codified as Chapter 8.46 of the Municipal Code, which provides for removing seasonal grasses, weeds, and other fire hazards. This Ordinance authorizes the Rancho Cucamonga Fire Protection District, acting as the City's fire department, to perform weed and fire hazard abatement on behalf of the City.
In compliance with the provisions of the Municipal Code, the Fire District issued a Notice to Abate Weeds and Fire Hazards to owners of undeveloped parcels. This Notice included a completion date for the required abatement work. Owners receiving such notices were informed of their right to object and appeal the abatement order.
Parcels not abated by the compliance date were referred to an approved contractor authorized to perform the required abatement work by the order of the Fire District. The contractor submitted itemized invoices for the abatement cost for each parcel. Per the contract terms between the Fire District and the weed and fire abatement contractor, these invoices were paid with Fire District funds.
Using the contractor's itemized invoices, the Fire District prepared a report for the Finance Department detailing the expenses and rates for each parcel where the contractor performed abatement. The Finance Department then generated invoices based on this report. The Fire District issued Notices of Payment Due to the owners of parcels where abatement work was completed. These Notices included a detailed itemization of the charges and fees billed by the Fire District for the contractor's weed and fire hazard abatement services. When applicable, as allowed by Fire District Resolution FD 10-035, the Fire District also included a re-inspection and an administrative fee in the Notices of Payment Due.
3 5
8 2
The Notices served as invoices from the Fire District to the parcel owner of record, informing them of the payment terms and their right to appeal the invoice amount in full or in part, including instructions on filing an appeal. Exhibit A of the attached resolution lists by parcel and invoice number the total amount due for the work completed by the contractor and the unpaid Fire District fees, per the terms of the Notice of Payment Due. This resolution includes a total of 91 invoices.
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 annually.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Weed and Fire Hazard Abatement Program is designed to be cost-neutral by recovering all charges and expenses associated with bringing non-compliant parcels into compliance with the City's weed and fire hazard abatement requirements. The resolution places the cost for the necessary work on the property owners whose choice or inaction led to the Fire District using budgeted funds. By utilizing all available means to recover the costs of abating the hazards, the Fire District ensures that the Weed and Fire Hazard Abatement Program will not financially impact the City or the Fire District.
COUNCIL MISSION / VISION / GOAL(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 contribute to a high quality of life for all and enhance the safety and health of all community members.

SUBJECT: Consideration of Resolutions Approving the Special Tax Levy for Various Community Facilities Districts and the Special Annual Benefit Assessment for Drainage Area No. 91-2 for the FY 2026-27. (RESOLUTION NOS. 2026-063 TO 2026-076) (CITY)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommend the City Council adopt the Resolutions approving the special tax levy and special annual benefit assessment, as applicable, for the following Community Facilities and Benefit Assessment Districts (each a “District” and collectively the “Districts”) for the FY 2026-27:
1. Drainage Area No. 91-2 (Day Canyon Drainage Basin)
2. Community Facilities Districts No. 2000-03 (Rancho Summit),
3. Community Facilities Districts No. 2000-03 Special Tax “B” (Rancho Summit),
4. Community Facilities Districts No. 2001-01 (Improvement Area Nos. 1 and 2),
5. Community Facilities Districts No. 2001-01 (Improvement Area No. 3),
6. Community Facilities Districts No. 2003-01 (Improvement Area No. 1),
7. Community Facilities Districts No. 2003-01 (Improvement Area No. 2),
8. Community Facilities Districts No. 2004-01 (Rancho Etiwanda Estates),
9. Community Facilities Districts No. 2006-01 (Vintner’s Grove),
10. Community Facilities Districts No. 2006-02 (Amador on Route 66),
11. Community Facilities Districts No. 2017-01 (North Etiwanda),
12. Community Facilities Districts No. 2018-01 (The Resort at Empire Lakes),
13. Community Facilities Districts No. 2022-01 (Street Lighting Services), and
14. Community Facilities Districts No. 2022-02 (Industrial Area Services) BACKGROUND:
Annually, before the County’s direct assessment enrollment in August, the City Council must adopt a Resolution approving the special tax levy and special benefit assessment for each District.
If approved, staff will file the certified list of all parcels subject to the levy for each District with the County of San Bernardino to be included in the property owner’s property tax billings.
Although the City Council has previously authorized the formation of the Districts, including the services provided or the bonded indebtedness secured by the Districts, the annual special tax to
3 5
9 4
be levied must be approved annually.
ANALYSIS:
Community Facilities Districts
Pursuant to the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982 (the “1982 Act”), the City Council previously approved the formation of the Districts either by the issuance of bonds to finance infrastructure improvements or for maintenance services within certain geographical boundaries, which formed the Community Facilities Districts.
Districts established through bond issuance cover the repayment of principal, interest, and administrative costs associated with their respective debt service. Generally, these Districts mature around 30 years after issuance when the bonds are fully repaid. All the costs related to the Districts are costs of the Districts, not the City or its General Fund. Thus, all expenses associated with administering the Districts and paying debt service on the bonds are the responsibility of the property owners within the Districts. Additionally, the outstanding indebtedness of the Districts is not an obligation of the City.
Changes in rate increases are only recommended when necessary to ensure that sufficient funds are available to sustain current and future debt service payments.
The following is a summary of the financial considerations used in establishing the rate assessments for FY 2026-27:
•A 2.0% increase is recommended for CFD No. 2003-01 (Improvement Area No. 1) and CFD No. 2003-01 (Improvement Area No. 2). The increase is necessary to adequately cover their respective debt service payments due in September 2026 and March 2027.
The other Districts’ current rates are sufficient to cover their debt service payments.
The table below provides a summary of each Districts’ total special tax levy for FY 2026-27 and maturity date:
District / Name Bond Maturity FY 2026-27 Notes
CFD No. 2000-03
(Rancho Summit) September 2035 $566,112 No change from the prior year.
CFD No. 2001-01
(Improvement Areas Nos. 1 and 2) September 2031 $670,447 No change from the prior year.
CFD No. 2001-01
(Improvement Area No. 3) September 2031 $61,467 No change from the prior year.
CFD No. 2003-01
(Improvement Area No. 1) September 2033 $1,326,352 A 2% increase is recommended to cover debt service.
CFD No. 2003-01
(Improvement Area No. 2) September 2033 $226,407 A 2% increase is recommended to cover debt service.
CFD No. 2004-01
(Rancho Etiwanda Estates) September 2036 $2,350,660 No change from the prior year.

District / Name Bond Maturity FY 2026-27 Notes
CFD No. 2006-01
(Vintner’s Grove) September 2037 $288,959 No change from the prior year.
CFD No. 2006-02
(Amador on Route 66) September 2037 $183,158 No change from the prior year.
The remaining CFDs were established to provide maintenance and services for public facilities in perpetuity. Changes in special taxes for these Districts are driven by various factors, including inflation, the rising costs associated with providing services, and the need to secure funding for necessary capital replacement projects.
The following is a summary of the financial considerations used in establishing the recommended assessment rates for FY 2026-27:
•No rate increase is recommended for CFD No. 2017-01, as no residential development is currently scheduled within the District. The rate will remain at $20 per parcel until building permits are issued.
•A 5% increase is recommended for CFD No. 2000-03B Park Maintenance (Rancho Summit), from $1,560 to $1,638.45, which is below the maximum allowable rate of $1,896.71. This adjustment is necessary to sustain ongoing maintenance services and support future planned capital improvements.
•A 5% increase is recommended for CFD No. 2018-01 (Residential Property), from $431.24 to $452.80, which represents the maximum allowable increase. This adjustment is necessary to offset projected increases in operational costs and to ensure adequate funding for essential future capital replacement projects.

EXHIBIT A
DESCRIPTION OF SERVICE
The properties within Drainage Area No. 91 -2 (“Drainage Area”) are located within the boundaries of the Day Canyon Drainage Basin area. Protection of the properties within the Drainage Area from overland flows requires the construction of a 27+ acre- foot desilting basin and a 1,460+ linear foot concrete drainage channel. The channel improvements will intercept the overland flows prior to reaching the properties and carry the storm water runoff, sediment, trash, organic material and related debris to a desilting basin.
Each year the sediment, trash, organic material and other related debris that accumulates in the desilting basin and channel must be removed and transported to an approved spoils site. The services proposed to be financed from the revenue derived from the levy and collections of the annual benefit assessment are as follows:
A. Monthly on-site inspections of the desilting basin and channel.
B. Bi-monthly weed abatement program for the desilting basin and channel.
C. Removal of accumulated sediment, trash, organic material and other related debris from the desilting basin and channel to an approved spoils site. This service is expected to be provided annually. During times of excessive rainfall, this service may be required more frequently.

On June 1, 2022, the City Council approved Resolution No. 2022-062, and established Community Facilities District No. 2022-02 (Industrial Area Services) of the City of Rancho Cucamonga, (the “District”).

On June 15, 2022, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1006 approving the levy of the special tax.
The District was authorized to finance any services which may be funded with proceeds of the special tax of CFD No. 2022-02, authorized pursuant to Section 53313 of the Act, including but not limited to all costs attributed to maintaining and servicing landscape and tree maintenance, storm drain repair and maintenance, streets and roadway services, police safety calls and service, and creating a capital reserve account for any future industrial repairs and maintenance.

SUBJECT: Consideration of Resolutions Approving the Special Tax Levy for Community Facilities District No. 85-1 and No. 88-1 for FY 2026-27. (RESOLUTION FD 2026-014) (RESOLUTION FD 2026-015) (FIRE)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the Fire Board adopt the Resolutions approving the special tax levy for Community Facilities District No. 85-1 and No. 88-1 (each a "District" and collectively the "Districts") for the FY 2026-27.
BACKGROUND:
Annually, before the County's direct assessment enrollment deadline in August, the Fire Board must adopt a Resolution approving the special tax levy as reflected in each District's respective Annual Status Report. If approved, staff will file the certified list of all parcels subject to the special tax levy for each District with the County of San Bernardino to be included in the property owners’ property tax billings.
ANALYSIS:
Each District has specific facilities based on its boundaries and the community it serves. Annually, staff performs a financial analysis of the revenues and expenditures to ensure the financial stability of each District, which takes into account the current operational requirements as well as the expected needs for future capital improvements in the Districts.
The recommended rates are intended to meet the Districts' operational and capital improvement needs for upcoming FY 2026-27. Numerous external factors, such as inflation, increased calls for service, and current and future capital improvements, impact the recommended rates.
A summary of the analysis for each District for FY 2026-27:
•An increase from $176.55 to $188.91, or 7.0%, is recommended for CFD No. 85-1. This increase is below the maximum allowable rate of $229.41 and is necessary to sustain the operating costs for the District and capital improvement expenditures. Capital improvements include a budgeted expense of $1,608,000 for accessibility improvements to the restrooms at Jersey Fire Station 174 (1,340 sq ft) in coordination with similar projects
3 5
9 6
at Fire Station 173 and 175. The Fire District General Fund contribution of $4,165,704 offsets the budgeted capital improvements and operational costs. •An increase from $176.55 to $188.91, or 7.0%, is recommended for CFD No. 88-1. This increase is below the maximum allowable rate of $2,055.03 is necessary as operating costs have risen similarly to CFD No. 85-1. Several years ago, the Fire Board approved a rate reduction for CFD No. 88-1 to establish tax uniformity with CFD No. 85-1 for the property owners in both Districts. Consequently, during each budget process, the Fire District General Fund approves a fixed amount to support the District's operations and maintenance. For FY 2026-27, the General Fund will contribute $3,026,500 to CFD No. 88-1 to support operations.
The table below summarizes the special tax levy (for a single-family residence) for each District for FY 2026-27. The recommended rates comply with and are below the maximum rate allowed by the District.

The District's Annual Status Report details the estimated expenses for administration, personnel services, and maintenance and operations within the Districts. As mentioned earlier, the Fire District General Fund's contribution to CFD No. 85-1 and CFD No. 88-1 was approved and budgeted by the Fire Board during the budget approval process.
COUNCIL MISSION / VISION / GOAL(S) ADDRESSED:
This item addresses the City Council's core values of providing courageous leadership in service to the community, and a sustainable future by complying with reporting requirements for special taxes to provide public services and administrative costs for the Districts.

Community Facilities District No. 88-1 1 Fiscal Year 2026-27
BACKGROUND
On April 4, 1989, the qualified voters approved the formation of Mello-Roos Community Facilities District No. 88-1 (“CFD No. 88-1”) and authorized CFD No. 88-1 to annually levy a special tax to provide for fire protection services within northeast Etiwanda. On May 19, 1989, the Board of Directors of the Rancho Cucamonga Fire Protection District (formerly Foothill Fire Protection District) adopted an Ordinance authorizing the CFD No. 88-1, by Resolution, to annually levy a special tax in CFD No. 88-1 for purposes of land acquisition, fire station construction, purchase of equipment and operations and maintenance costs for fire protection services. CFD No. 88-1 is located within the boundaries of Highland, Cherry, Day Creek Channel and the San Bernardino National Forest.
The maximum special tax shall be annually adjusted for the lesser of (a) changes in cost of living; or (b) changes in the cost of living and changes in population as defined in Section 7901 of the Government Code.
Fiscal Year 2026-27, the maximum tax rate which could be levied is adjusted per (b) changes in the cost of living and changes in population. The maximum tax rate will increase from $1,962.78 to $2,055.03 or 4.70%. The actual assessment rate will increase from $176.55 to $188.91, an increase of 7.0% as compared to Fiscal Year 2025-26.

SUBJECT: Consideration to Adopt a Resolution Approving Side Letter Agreements between the Rancho Cucamonga Fire Protection District and Fire Union Local 2274 and Fire Support Services Association and Updating Fiscal Year 2026-27 Fire Union Local 2274 Salary Schedules, and Approval of Full-Time Ambulance Operators. (RESOLUTION NO. FD 2026-018) (FIRE)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the Fire Board:
1. Adopt the attached resolution approving a Side Letter Agreement between the Rancho Cucamonga Fire Protection District and Fire Union Local 2274 and Fire Support Services Association and updating Fiscal Year 2026-27 Fire Union Local 2274 salary schedule; and
2. Approve an amendment to the Fiscal Year 2026-27 budget to upgrade the pool of part- time Ambulance Operators to five full-time Ambulance Operators in order to meet the operational needs of implementation of the ambulance contract.
BACKGROUND:
The Fire Board previously approved a Memorandum of Understandings (MOU) between the Rancho Cucamonga Fire Protection District (District) and Fire Union Local 2274 (Fire Union) effective July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2029.
In June of 2026, the District and Fire Union met and conferred in good faith and agreed to updating the MOU on holiday buyback dates, conversion factors for vacation, sick, and holiday leave, removing outdated MOU language on sick leave upon retirement, and the addition of a non-safety Ambulance Operator classification including an Appendix on non-safety wages, hours and other terms and conditions of employment. The addition of the Ambulance Operator classification is due to the implementation of the County of San Bernardino contract for ground ambulance medical transportation services. Originally budgeted as a pool of part-time employees, the District has determined that the Ambulance Operator classification needs to be upgraded to five full-time positions to meet the 24/7 operational needs of implementation of the ambulance contract.
The Fire Board previously approved a MOU between the Rancho Cucamonga Fire Protection District (District) and Fire Support Services Association (Fire Support) effective July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2027.

8 6
In June of 2026, the District and Fire Support met and conferred in good faith and agreed to updating the MOU on vacation buyback dates.
The Fire Board traditionally adopts salary resolutions biannually for classifications employed by the Rancho Cucamonga Fire Protection District. These resolutions are updated to reflect changes in salaries, additions and deletions of classifications, changes in job titles, and other terms of employment.
The Fire Board previously approved Fiscal Year 2026-27 District salary schedules including Fire Union. Administrative corrections to the Fire Union salary schedule have been identified and are addressed below.
ANALYSIS:
The agreed amendments to the Fire Union MOU are as follows:
•Article III, Section 1: Holidays – An adjustment to future holiday buyback dates to occur annually with a regularly scheduled paycheck on the second paycheck in December. •Article III, Section 3: Sick Leave – The removal of outdated MOU language regarding sick leave options at the time of retirement.
•Article III, Section 4: Conversion Factor – Correcting the conversion factor for vacation, sick, and holiday leave accruals for employees transitioning from a forty (40) hour per week personnel to a fifty-six (56) hour per week personnel and from a fifty-six (56) hour per week personnel to a forty (40) hour per week personnel. •The addition of a new non-safety Ambulance Operator classification including an Appendix on non-safety wages, hours, and other terms and conditions of employment.
The agreed amendments to the Fire Support MOU are as follows:
•Article III, Section 4: Hours of Vacation Buyback – An adjustment to future vacation buyback dates to occur twice annually with a regularly scheduled paycheck on the first paycheck in July and the second paycheck in November.
Administrative corrections to the Fiscal Year 2026-27 Fire Union salary schedule have been identified and are addressed below.
Fire Union
•Expanding on the hourly rate for each position to include both a 40-hour and 56-hour rate as a result of increased personnel moving between 40-hour and 56-hour schedules due to District operational needs.
•Correcting a calculation error from the previously approved salary schedule for the position of Fire Captain to reflect the 3% Cost of Living Adjustment in the MOU.
These Side Letter Agreements shall be incorporated into the MOUs. The MOUs will remain in full force and effect except to the extent modified by these Side Letter Agreements.
The attached resolution adopts the salary schedule changes as outlined above. All other salary schedules, classifications, job titles, and other terms of employment remain the same.
Staff recommends the Fire Board adopt the attached resolution approving the Side Letter Agreements between the Rancho Cucamonga Fire Protection District and Fire Union and Fire Support updating Fiscal Year 2026-27 Fire Union salary schedule. Staff also recommends the Fire Board approve an amendment to the Fiscal Year 2026-27 budget to upgrade the pool of part-
3 5
8 6
time Ambulance Operators to five full-time Ambulance Operators to meet the operational needs of implementation of the ambulance contract.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The full budgetary impacts of the previously approved MOU and salary schedule will be included in the District’s FY 2026-27 budget during first quarter adjustments.
The full cost of the District’s ambulance contract related expenses (staffing, supplies, and equipment) will be offset by revenue guaranteed by the County ambulance contract for public agencies who are staffing ambulances. Revenue is estimated at $1,600,000 annually and is anticipate to cover the cost of the program. The impact of the Ambulance Operator position upgrade will also be incorporated into the District’s FY 2026-27 budget during first quarter adjustments and is expected to be less than $250,000.
COUNCIL MISSION / VISION / GOAL(S) ADDRESSED:
This item addresses the City Council’s core value of the relentless pursuit of improvement.
