COMMUNICATIONS
Inclusionary Housing Program
Development Services Director Desatnik provided background on the creation of an Inclusionary Housing program. Many cities have viewed Inclusionary Housing programs as offering multiple benefits to the community, including: housing for low to moderate income working households, such as those headed by teachers, police officers, retail clerks, firefighters, senior citizens, young families, and others who would otherwise be priced out of the current real estate market; diverse, mixed-income communities; affordable housing spread throughout the community; market-based solution to leverage affordable housing; reduced sprawl and traffic congestion by allowing people to live closer to where they work and, for public sector employees, in the communities in which they serve; and predictability for developers who must all follow the same inclusionary housing policy and procedures. He added that despite a number of court challenges, these other ordinances have been upheld as a valid exercise of a city's zoning powers. He added the first step to create the program was to complete a financial evaluation. As public comment, Jeff Green and Maribel Nunez, of Inland Equity Community Land Trust, supported the City's efforts to establish a program and encouraged the Council to engage community residents as they move forward with the matter.

PUBLIC HEARINGS
Planning Commission’s Approval Appeal of City Center Project Mayor Barich declared the meeting open as a public hearing and called on Sean Reilly, of Development Services, for a review of the appeal of the Planning Commission’s approval for the City Center mixed use project, as submitted by Lozeau Drury LLP, representing Supporters Alliance for Environmental Responsibility (SAFER). Amalia Bowley Fuentes, representing the Appellant, stated the Planning Commission should not have approved the Project and the City should prepare a revised SCEA or prepare an Environmental Impact Report (“EIR”) because the SCEA failed to reduce the project impacts. As public comment, Steve Rogers said he thought there had been no real environmental review done and he questioned why a traffic study was not prepared. Tom Robinson, the project developer, urged the Council to deny the appeal, adding the City was in need of housing and the building and construction of the project would comply with the state's green building codes. A representative from the project consulting team, EPD Consulting, clarified that the appellant's comments were thoroughly reviewed and nothing led the team to change their opinion. One written comment was received, requesting the City approve to deny the appeal. With no further comments, the Mayor closed the public hearing.
On motion of Council Member Mick Gallagher, seconded by Council Member Denise Davis, the City Council approved, by roll call vote, to deny the Appeal and uphold the Planning Commission’s approval for Conditional Use Permit No. 1138 and Tentative Parcel Map No. 20475, and adoption and certification of the Sustainable Communities Environmental Assessment, for the City Center mixed-use project.

The Grand Residential Project
Mayor Barich declared the meeting open as a public hearing and called on Contract Planner, Emily Elliott for details of "The Grand", a proposed residential project located at the northeast corner of West Redlands Boulevard and Eureka Street. The Applicant, Vantage One Real Estate Investments, LLC. The Applicant, represented by Tom Robinson, described the project location as a key intersection in the town, which will encourage people to walk in the area and access the train station. Smaller units have intentionally been designed in order to be more affordable, but he added there will be many attractive amenities. As public comment, Steve Rogers complained that a full environmental impact report was not prepared, and he was concerned this project was situated within a flood zone and he urged the Council to hold off approval of this until the Transit Villages Specific Plan (TVSP) was considered. Pat Meyer, representing Vantage One Real Estate, pointed out a full hydrology study was performed in compliance with FEMA and the project was consistent with the City's Municipal Code.

Duggan, Jr. The agreement proposed the following terms: extension of the Employment Agreement for an additional 3 years expiring January 31, 2026; base salary of $280,000; twelve months of severance; benefits, leave and deferred compensation as set forth in the current contract remain unchanged.

SBCTA Operations/Maintenance Agreement for Downtown Station Assistant City Manager Boatman described the Operations and Maintenance Agreement with the San Bernardino County (erroneously referred to as San Bernardino California) Transportation Authority (SBCTA) for the City’s maintenance and security obligations at the Downtown Station for the Redlands Passenger Rail Project. He added the City would continue to monitor and evaluate security services for the next 18 months and SBCTA was providing funding for two years.

Ordinance No. 2945 Organic Waste Disposal
Assistant City Manager Boatman provided a report of Ordinance No. 2945, adding Chapter 13.67 to the Redlands Municipal Code relating to the establishment of regulations governing organic waste disposal. The Solid Waste Division implemented the collection of commercial organic food waste in 2016 and implemented a residential organic waste drop-off pilot program in 2021. To be in full compliance with state regulations, the City must adopt an enforceable ordinance to ensure full compliance with organics diversion requirements by residential and commercial waste generators; implement a program to recover organics from single-family residents and recover food from multi-family locations; and implement a program for contamination monitoring and develop an "implementation record" to ensure all activities are documented. Assistant City Manager Boatman responded to Council Members' questions and added the proposed ordinance does not change anything currently in the Municipal Code and would provide a framework for the future.

Downtown Market Plan
Assistant City Manager Boatman detailed the implementation plan for the Downtown Market as recommended by the City Council subcommittee. Based on the survey results, staff provided a recommendation to the Parks and Recreation Committee on May 12, 2022, that included bringing the Market back on Saturday mornings from 8 a.m. to noon during the spring, summer and fall seasons. The Market would include new policies and guidelines to include higher quality merchandise and local products as suggested in the returned surveys. This option would also help alleviate conflicts between the merchants and downtown business parking during busy evening hours. Costs for staff resources would be reduced relative to previous operations and impacts to parking would be minimal. Furthermore, the demand for police officers to patrol the market would not be immediately necessary for this option, as the current Saturday Farmer’s Market has not demonstrated a need for this service. As public comment, Evan Sanford, representing the Redlands Chamber of Commerce, supported the expansion of the Saturday Morning Farmer's Market. Council Members provided their thoughts and perspectives and discussed at length the merits of offering the market on Saturday morning versus bringing back the program on Thursday night. Council Member Guzman-Lowery described the importance of providing the community with family-friendly activities in the downtown area and she supported maintaining the Thursday night program, but suggested the City consider offering both a night market and a morning market. Chief Catren reiterated he does not have the police resources to cover a night market.
On motion of Council Member Jenna Guzman-Lowery, seconded by Council Member Denise Davis, the City Council determined, by roll call vote, that approval of the Plan is categorically exempt from environmental review pursuant to Section 15311(c) of the State’s guidelines implementing the California Environmental Quality Act; and directed staff to implement the Downtown Market Plan as recommended by the City Council subcommittee.

The project will be fully funded by SBCTA for two years. The City and SBCTA have agreed the City will provide a security guard at both stations, beginning 15 minutes prior to the arrival of the first train until 15 minutes after the last scheduled train departs; approximately 18-19 hours daily.
SBCTA is responsible for reimbursing the City for costs associated with maintenance and security for the initial two-year period. After the initial period, the City and SBCTA will reassess CC_SA_October 4, 2022

ORDINANCE NO. 2944
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF REDLANDS AMENDING CHAPTER
13.12 OF THE REDLANDS MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO UTILITY
DUE DATES
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF REDLANDS DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Section 13.12.020 of the Redlands Municipal Code, titled “Due Date,” is hereby amended to read as follows:
“13.12.020: DUE DATE:
A. The city may use a unified billing system for city provided services. The charges for water, wastewater, and refuse service, or any other city provided services, may be billed on one bill and collected as one item. Failure to pay the amount due in full for any of the services may result in the discontinuation of water services.
B. All bills and charges for service shall be due and payable upon presentation and shall become delinquent twenty six (26) days thereafter. If the bill is not paid on, or prior to, said due date, the billing shall be considered delinquent and a late charge shall be levied upon the unpaid balance as follows:
1. For any account with an unpaid balance, a onetime charge of ten percent (10%) of the unpaid balance per service shall be assessed.
2. This charge shall be due and payable immediately upon accrual.
3. Upon request from the customer, one (1) late charge may be waived by city staff once every twelve (12) months.
4. In lieu of imposing a late charge upon a customer’s delinquent water service billings, the City may offer to any customer of the city’s water service who has a delinquent water service billing the option to participate in the city’s automatic payment plan rather than be responsible for the payment of late charges pursuant to subsection 1, above.
Such participation, if agreed to by the water service customer, shall be for a period of one (1) year. In the event the customer terminates his or her participation in the automatic payment plan during such one (1) year period, the customer shall immediately become liable for the late charges and penalties that would otherwise have been imposed on the customer’s delinquent water service account.
C. Service may be discontinued upon written notice required by law if payment of all charges is not made prior to the date such service becomes delinquent, to the extent authorized by law.
D. If any owner or agent pays for water service on more than one property or unit, service may be discontinued on all properties for failure to pay on any one property. Procedures Redlands Regular Meeting of 10-18-22 61 of 1815
2 L:\ca\Ord\2944 Amending Chapter 13.12 Clean.docx
and charges for restoration of service are set forth by resolution and section 13.12.050 of this chapter.
E. Failure to receive a bill shall not relieve the customer of liability. Any amount due shall be deemed a debt to the city, and any person, firm or corporation failing, neglecting, or refusing to pay said indebtedness shall be liable in a civil action brought by the city in any court of competent jurisdiction for the amount thereof.
F. In addition to any other remedies it may have for the collection of delinquent accounts, the city may cause notice of a hearing on delinquent accounts in accordance with Government Code sections 25831 and 38790.1. Such notice shall be mailed to property owners listed as delinquent accounts not less than ten (10) days prior to the date of the hearing. At the hearing, the city council shall hear any objections or protests of such property owners. The city council may make such revisions, corrections or deletions to the report of delinquent accounts as it deems just, after which, by resolution, the report shall be confirmed. The delinquent charges set forth in the delinquent account report may be placed as a lien on such properties for the amount of such delinquent charges plus legal fees and administration costs. A certified copy of the confirmed report shall be filed with the city clerk for the current tax roll. The lien created attaches upon recordation, in the office of the county recorder, of a certified copy of the resolution of confirmation. All laws applicable to the levy, collection and enforcement of city ad valorem property taxes shall be applicable to such liens.”
Section 2. The City Council finds and determines that the adoption of this Ordinance is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15060(c)(2), in that the adoption of this Ordinance will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, and is further and independently exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), in that it can be seen with certainty there is no possibility the adoption of this Ordinance will have a significant effect on the environment.
Section 3. If any section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase, or portion of this Ordinance is, for any reason, held to be unconstitutional or invalid or ineffective by any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity or effectiveness of the remaining portions of this Ordinance or any part thereof. The City Council hereby declares that it would have adopted this Ordinance and each section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase of this Ordinance irrespective of the fact that one or more sections, subsections, subdivisions, paragraphs, sentences, clauses or phrases be declared unconstitutional or invalid or ineffective. To this end the provisions of this Ordinance are declared to be severable.
Section 4. The Mayor shall sign this ordinance and the City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this ordinance and shall cause it, or a summary of it, to be published once in the Redlands Daily Facts, a newspaper of general circulation within the City, and thereafter, this ordinance shall take effect as provided by law.

City Council Meeting I. 9.
DATE: 10/18/2022
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBJECT: Authorize a Single Source Professional Services Agreement with Willdan Engineering for the provision of fire plan review and inspection services for an amount not-to-exceed $100,000 for a period of one year; and authorize an additional appropriation in the amount of $100,000 for the cost of these services (Fire Chief Sessler)
MOTION(S):
If the City Council determines that staff’s recommendation is appropriate, the following motion is provided:
I move to approve a single source Professional Services Agreement with Willdan Engineering for the provision of fire plan review and inspection services for the Redlands Fire Department for an amount not-to-exceed $100,000 for a period of one year; and authorize an additional appropriation in the amount of $100,000 for these services.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council approve a single source Professional Services Agreement with Willdan Engineering for the provision of fire plan review and inspection services for the Redlands Fire Department for an amount not-to-exceed $100,000 for a period of one year, and authorize an additional appropriation in the amount of $100,000 to fund these services.
DISCUSSION:
On July 5, 2022, the City Council approved an agreement with Willdan Engineering for the provision of on-call building inspection, plan review, CASp consulting, emergency response and special projects for Development Services Department.
Redlands Regular Meeting of 10-18-22 65 of 1815
Similar to the Development Services Department, the Fire Department Community Risk Reduction Division reviews plans for new construction and occupancy of all residential, commercial and industrial buildings in order to ensure life, fire and health safety. Prior to the issuance of building permits, the Fire Marshal performs plan checks of all proposed construction projects which includes additions and alterations to existing buildings. Field inspections are performed on all new construction, additions, alterations and demolitions for compliance with all structural, fire, energy and life safety requirements. Like Development Services, the responsibility of the CRR Division also includes providing the general public with basic construction information, seismic safety information, calculating fees, and issuing building, plumbing, electrical, mechanical and demolition permits.
Due to the unplanned personnel shortages within the Community Risk Reduction (CRR) Division, staff would like to request approval of a Professional Services Agreement (PSA) with Willdan Engineering for the provision of fire plan review and inspection services as a single source procurement. The staffing issues in the CRR Division have created an urgent need to outsource building and fire protection systems inspections and life safety plan reviews so that turn-around times are not impacted. Approval of the proposed PSA would augment staffing in the CRR Division during peak demand for services and prevent service delivery impacts. Willdan Engineering has proven to be efficient and cost-effective through their services to the Development Services Department. Currently, they are also providing part-time fire plan review services to RFD in order to avoid delays in turn-around times for permits. Staff is now seeking to have a contract in place for these services while the recruitment for staff is completed.
The Professional Service Agreement with Willdan Engineering would provide said services for an amount not-to-exceed $100,000 for a period of one year. In addition to the approval of the PSA with Willdan Engineering, staff is requesting the authorization of an additional appropriation in the amount of $100,000 to fund the cost of these services.
ALTERNATIVES:
Not approve the single source professional services agreement with Willdan Engineering Services to provide fire plan review and inspections services for the Redlands Fire Department. However, not approving the agreement could potentially impact service delivery by delaying the turn-around time on permit inspections and plan review.

DISCUSSION:
During the last six months, staff from the Redlands Police Department (RPD) have worked with California legislative analysts on providing expertise as to how the Redlands Police Department is utilizing technology to address organized retail crime. As a result of that work, the analysts reached out to see if RPD would be willing to participate in a three-year pilot program for use of force and deescalation training. The State offered RPD $200,000 to fund use of force and Redlands Regular Meeting of 10-18-22 88 of 1815
deescalation training programs for that time period. Only six law enforcement agencies (LAPD, SBCSD, Fresno County Sheriff's Department, San Francisco Police Department, and Pasadena Police Department) were selected to receive this funding. There are no matching funds required for this opportunity.
Pursuant to State mandates, the funding appropriated in this item shall only be used for Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training approved use of force and deescalation training. Trainings that provide flexible modes of use, such as mobile platforms, or trainings that utilize the use of body camera footage, shall be prioritized. No more than 10 percent of the grant funding may be used for staffing hours, including overtime hours, to backfill positions for peace officers participating in training supported by this grant program. Funds may also be used for subscriptions, and the purchase of equipment and technology that are required for the use of force and deescalation training that is selected.
Each pilot participant shall collect the following information:
1) The number of participants that received and successfully completed the training, including demographic data that includes race, gender, and position; 2) Use of force incident data for the three previous years; 3) The number of use of force incidents data in each calendar year for the duration of the pilot; and
4) Any quantitative and qualitative data that is collected by specific tools or training that is selected by the pilot participant.
ALTERNATIVES:
Do not approve the acceptance of the warrant for funds and additional appropriation in the amount of $200,000.

SUBJECT: Approve the hold harmless agreement with Redlands Joint Venture, LLC, Majestic Realty Co. for use of its facilities for Heroes and Helpers 2022 Event (Police Chief Catren)
MOTION(S):
If the City Council determines that staff’s recommendation is appropriate, the following motion is provided:
I move to authorize the Chief of Police, or his designee, to execute the hold harmless agreement between the City of Redlands and Redlands Joint Venture, LLC. Majestic Realty Co. regarding the use of its facilities on December 21, 2022 to hold Heroes and Helpers 2022.
RECOMMENDATION:

DISCUSSION:
For the past several years, the Redlands Police Department has partnered with several community groups to hold the annual Heroes and Helpers event in the month of December. Over the years, hundreds of children from local schools have participated in this event. The children, nominated by school principals, teachers, police officials, and community leaders, are partnered with members of the Redlands Police Department for a sponsored shopping spree at a store of their choosing located within either the Citrus Plaza or the Mountain Grove Shopping Center. Each candidate receives a $150 Visa gift card that can be used to purchase items for themselves and/or their families. Much to our surprise, many of the children purchased toys as gifts for younger siblings, or Redlands Regular Meeting of 10-18-22 93 of 1815
surprise, many of the children purchased toys as gifts for younger siblings, or they selected items such as deodorant, soap, socks, and other basic necessities we often take for granted.
This year the program has grown even more. Amazon will be donating presents to the siblings of the shoppers. In addition, RPD will take their command post to the parking lot as a staging area. The property management company is requiring a hold harmless agreement to be signed in order for a staging area to be set up.
ALTERNATIVES:
If the City Council chooses not to sign the hold harmless agreement, RPD will not be able to hold the Heroes and Helpers event at Mountain Grove/Citrus Plaza.

SUBJECT: Approve the Second Amendment to the Agreement with Raftelis Financial Consultants, Inc. to conduct utility rate studies, and an additional appropriation of $46,877 (Municipal Utilities and Engineering Director Harris)
MOTION(S):
If City Council determines the staff recommendation is appropriate, the following motions are provided:
I move that City Council approve the Second Amendment to the Agreement with Raftelis Financial Consultants, Inc.
1. I move that City Council approve an additional appropriation of $46,877 to fund the Utility Rate Study expanded scope of work.
2. RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends City Council approve a second amendment to the agreement with Raftelis Financial Consultants, Inc., and an additional appropriation of $46,877 to fund the Utility Rate Study expanded scope of work.
DISCUSSION:
On April 1, 2021, City Council executed an Agreement with Raftelis Financial Consultants, Inc. (Raftelis) for $24,888 to provide continuing professional financial services for water, wastewater, and recycled water/non-potable water utility rate studies. City Council accepted the Utilities Advisory Committee (UAC) and staff recommendations to implement two (2) annual wastewater utility rate increases in fiscal years 21/22 and 22/23 at the March 16, 2021 City Council meeting and both were formally adopted after a Public Hearing on May 4, 2021.
Redlands Regular Meeting of 10-18-22 97 of 1815
The City will soon reconvene the UAC and Raftelis will continue to provide financial consulting support as the UAC considers future potential utility rate adjustments. The term of the original Raftelis Agreement was for one (1) year and was extended for one (1) additional year with City Council approval of Amendment No. 1 on February 15, 2022. The full original Agreement balance of $24,888 remains and has not been charged against. The Raftelis proposal to provide 5-year water, recycled water/non-potable water, and wastewater utility rate studies is $71,765. This requires an additional appropriation of $46,877.
Amendment No. 2 to the Raftelis Agreement increases the compensation amount to $71,765 and extends the termination date to December 31, 2023.
ALTERNATIVES:
City Council may deny the staff recommendation and provide alternate direction.

• Task 1 – Project Initiation, Management, and Data Collection • Task 2 – Financial Plan Development
o Update customer account and usage data
o Analyse the water usage trends for use in water and wastewater rate restructuring o Assist with the evaluation and development of the capital improvement program We look forward to assisting you with the completion of the study.

1 Scope of Work
Task 1
Projection Initiation, Management, and Data Collection
At the beginning of the study, Raftelis will prepare a detailed data request listing the information needed to complete the various analyses for all phases of the study. Information that is typically required to perform a water, wastewater, and recycled/non-potable water rate study includes (but is not limited to):
Comprehensive Annual Financial Reports (CAFR), current and projected budgets, current and historical water production and customer billing data, and long-term capital improvement plans. Prior to the meeting, we will review any data provided.
We believe a productive kick-off meeting is the most effective way to begin a study. This meeting provides a forum to discuss goals and objectives, policy, and methodologies, any remaining data gaps, and a work schedule. We will also discuss the City’s financial policies and associated reserve levels, as well as the capital plan for each utility. Following the meeting, Raftelis will prepare detailed meeting minutes.
Our project management approach stresses transparency, communication, objectivity, and accountability to meet project objectives. Management responsibilities extend to general administrative duties such as client correspondence, billing, documentation, and adhering to the schedule. Throughout the study, we will schedule interim status meetings or webinars to discuss project progress and present initial results. In every project, we implement a systematic program of quality assurance to ensure consistency, accuracy, and validity. We are proposing web meetings with staff to save time and costs. The fees are based on this assumption Meeting: One web kick-off meeting with staff
Deliverables: Data request; kick-off meeting agenda; presentation materials; meeting minutes Task 2
Financial Plan Development
We will utilize the financial and rate model we developed for the City in 2019 as a basis for our new model.
As such, we will update the historical data within the model and initialize the model for the new planning period. In addition, we will build on the existing model to ensure that it has the functionality desired by City Staff and incorporates the ability to modify various capital expenditure and financing scenarios. In developing the financial plan, Raftelis will first project revenues based on each utility’s existing rates. This will allow the City to examine the utilities’ financial health under current rates for a 10-year study period, including their ability to fund the maintenance or replacement of each utility’s infrastructure. For the water and recycled/non-potable water supplies, we will work with staff to project water demand. The analysis will include an examination of the availability of the recycled/non-potable water supplies and their effect on potable water consumption and revenues as well as consideration for the impact of conservation on revenues. We will work with City staff to discuss each utility’s capital improvement plan and develop a schedule for capital improvements (or CIP), which will be incorporated into the financial plan. A long-term financial plan for the capital improvements incorporating State Revolving Funds (SRF), Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (WIFIA), market debt and pay-as-you-go will be evaluated. The model will have Redlands Regular Meeting of 10-18-22 111 of 1815
2 the capability to examine different CIP scenarios and financing strategies, allowing staff to consider different planning periods and adjust planned projects. We will review and discuss reserves for operating, capital, rate stabilization, and emergency purposes. We will then propose any necessary revenue adjustments. The new revenue requirement will aid in the cost-of-service analysis and the development of rates for the three utilities.
Meetings: Two web meetings with City staff
Deliverables: Draft water, recycled/non-potable water, and wastewater financial plan models in Microsoft Excel
Task 3
Cost of Service Analysis
Raftelis will update the cost-of-service analysis developed in the previous study consistent with industry standards and methodologies approved by the American Water Works Association (AWWA) M1 Manual, Principles of Water Rates, Fee, and Charges, and the Water Environment Federation (WEF) Manual of Practice No. 27, Financing and Charges for Wastewater Systems, 2018. Water expenses are allocated as capacity related; commodity, private fire protection, customer, and other indirect costs are allocated based on the Base-Extra Capacity Method. Wastewater expenses are allocated based on collection, treatment, customer, and indirect costs. The goal is to distribute the cost components to classes based on responsibility. This results in the total cost to serve each and the basis for developing rates. Raftelis will incorporate the City’s policy considerations, as well as current regulations (such as Proposition 218).
Meetings: None
Deliverable(s): Water and wastewater cost of service analysis in Microsoft Excel Task 4
Rate Design
Raftelis will develop a water and wastewater rate model with the flexibility to compare the current rate structure with alternative rate structures. The City is interested in a flow-based wastewater residential rate structure. The model will have the capability to examine different rate structure scenarios to enhance revenue stability in light of competing objectives, such as affordability for essential needs and funding fixed costs. The rates will be developed in compliance with Proposition 218, resulting from the cost of service developed in Task 3. The revenue adjustments defined in the financial plan analysis will be applied to a fiveyear schedule based on the proposed rate structure. Once the rates have been defined, we will advise the City on adjusting the ordinances.
The total rate adjustment can sometimes cause “rate shock” to customers. We calculate monthly bills at each level of usage to determine the “true” impact of the new rate structure. The customer impact analysis will include a series of tables and figures that show projected rate impacts by customer class at various levels of usage. Understanding customer impacts and taking corrective action, if necessary, allows us to make informed decisions. It also allows us to design public outreach strategies for generating customer buy-in and successful rate implementation. Further, it aids the City in developing rates that are not only defensible, but also most appropriate for the City and its customers.
Meetings: One web meeting with City staff
Redlands Regular Meeting of 10-18-22 112 of 1815
3 Deliverables: Rate and customer bill impacts in Microsoft Excel for each utility Task 5
Rate Survey
Raftelis will compare the City’s current and proposed rates with five local water and wastewater agencies and will include recycled water rates where available. While a useful benchmark, it is worth noting that such comparisons only paint a partial picture, since many factors (such as topography and water sources, etc.) impact the total cost of providing water and wastewater services. Raftelis will develop an Excel module to compare the total monthly water and wastewater bill amount of a typical residential customer within each agency. The model will include the appropriate graphs and figures that display the total bill of a typical customer in each agency.
Meetings: None
Deliverables: Water, recycled/non-potable water, and wastewater rate survey module in Microsoft Excel Task 6
Draft and Final Report
The draft report will include an executive summary highlighting the major issues and decisions reached during development of rates for all three utilities. The main body of the report will include a brief physical description of each utility system, service area description, an overview of operation and maintenance expenses, the capital improvement plan, debt service, and the proposed revenue adjustments and rates.
The water and wastewater cost of service and rate calculations will be described in detail so that the nexus between costs and rates is clearly defined. City staff members and the City’s Attorney will provide comments on the report. After incorporating any final edits and receiving confirmation from City staff, Raftelis will provide the final report. It will serve as the administrative record of the rate study in fulfilment of Proposition 218 requirements.
Meetings: One webinar to discuss draft report comments
Deliverables: Draft and final reports in Microsoft Word and PDF file formats; signed final report; electronic files for all reports, calculations, graphs, and spreadsheets Task 7
Meetings with UAC
Raftelis staff will conduct two meetings with the UAC as described above to review the financial plan, rate design, rates, and customer impacts. In these meetings, we will also provide an overview of the ratemaking process, background on the utilities, and the need for the rate adjustments and updated rate structures.
Meetings: Two meetings with the UAC
Deliverables: Presentation materials for two public meetings; supplementary communications materials Redlands Regular Meeting of 10-18-22 113 of 1815
4 Task 8
Proposition 218 Notice and Public Hearing
Raftelis will prepare a draft Public Hearing notice for City staff and City Attorney review and incorporate comments into the final notice. City staff will print and mail the notices independently. Raftelis will then present the study results at a Proposition 218 hearing in which we will address the City Council and public questions and comments. Presentation materials will be provided to City staff beforehand for review.
Meetings: One Proposition 218 Public Hearing
Deliverables: Draft and final Proposition 218 public notices; Public Hearing presentation materials Schedule
We anticipate completing the study to the draft report stage by the end of the February 2023. Depending on direction from the City, we believe that a public hearing could be conducted in April with adjustments to rates effective July 1, 2023.

SUBJECT: Approve the Second Amendment to the Non-Professional Services Agreement with Tanko Streetlighting, Inc. to replace City-owned streetlights with energy-efficient LED lights (Municipal Utilities and Engineering Director Harris)
MOTION(S):
If City Council determines the staff recommendation is appropriate, the following motion is provided:
I move City Council approve the Second Amendment to the Non-Professional Services Agreement with Tanko Streetlighting, Inc.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends City Council approval of the Second Amendment to the Non-Professional Services Agreement with Tanko Streetlighting, Inc.
DISCUSSION:

DISCUSSION:
The Facilities and Community Services Department manages the administration and issuance of permits for special events held in public areas of the City. Upon the issuance of a special event permit, the event may take place contingent on the event organizer paying the required fees. The City recognizes the value of partnering with non-profit agencies and organizations to provide services beneficial to the community. In an effort to provide support for programs that provide a community benefit, the City Council will, from time to time, consider the authorization of in-kind support including the use of City resources and facilities in support of a special event.
The Redlands Hometown Heroes Foundation (Foundation) has reserved Jennie Davis Park on Friday, November 11, 2022, for the Redlands Veterans Day Celebration event to be held from 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The Foundation is also requesting approval to temporarily close E. Citrus Ave., Eureka St., W.

The Redlands Hometown Heroes Foundation is a non-profit organization operating out of Redlands, CA.

The American Legion Post No. 106 is requesting permission to serve beer and wine at the event that will end no later than 4:00 p.m. The City Council's approval is necessary to authorize the consumption of alcohol for this event due to its location. Staff's approval authority is limited to only enclosed public areas in public parks as defined by Resolution No. 7559 and therefore the granting of this request is outside city staff's purview.

Recently, DEARK E&C, INC. notified staff that the lead time for project materials is lengthy and exceeds the Contract completion deadline. Therefore, staff is recommending a Contract amendment to increase the Contract time for completion by ninety (90) calendar days, resulting in a revised Contract time for project completion of one hundred eighty (180) calendar days. This is the only Contract revision proposed.
ALTERNATIVES:
City Council may elect not to approve this action. However, electing not to approve this action may result in the project not being completed and a loss or reduction of CDBG funding in the future.

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBJECT: Report regarding Emergency Resolution No. 8065 proclaiming the existence of a local emergency in response to COVID-19
(Coronavirus Disease 2019) (Fire Chief Sessler)
DISCUSSION:
On March 17, 2020, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 8065 proclaiming the existence of a "local emergency" in accordance with Chapter 2.52 of the Redlands Municipal Code and determined that there was substantial evidence to proclaim a local emergency due to COVID-19 Pandemic. This proclamation was done after the declaration of a public emergency by the United States Department of Public Health and Human Services, the State of California, and the County of San Bernardino County Health Officer and the Board of Supervisors.
Since the declaration of the local emergency, the City's Emergency Operations Center was activated and remains at a Level III activation. Additionally, several measures were put in place to adhere to California Department of Public Health and to keep employees and residents safe. As of this time, all City facilities and services are being provided to the public while adhering to state guidelines.
Updates for San Bernardino County
San Bernardino County, along with the rest of the state, fully reopened its economy on June 15, 2021, eliminating various restrictions and discontinuing the color-coded county tier system.
Restaurants, bars, retail stores, theaters, hotels and entertainment centers have returned to usual operations with no capacity limitations and no requirements for social distancing.
Fully vaccinated individuals can resume activities without wearing a mask or physically distancing, except where required by federal, state, local, tribal, or territorial laws, rules, and regulations, including local business and workplace guidance.
Redlands Regular Meeting of 10-18-22 225 of 1815
Emergency Operations Planning and Response
The Emergency Operations Center (EOC) remains activated at a Level III since it was originally activated on March 16, 2020. A team of Responders was put together consisting of several City Department staff including Fire, Police, Information Technology, Human Resources Risk & Safety Division, Finance, and the City Manager's Office. The objective of the EOC Team, and the City as a whole, is to provide and maintain the safety for all City employees and the community, to keep essential services open and available to the community, provide a consistent message, and reduce the risk of the exposure and spread of COVID-19. Responders met regularly for status briefings and to ensure proper preparation, planning, prevention, and response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
With a focus on preparation, planning, prevention, and response, the EOC Team included specific roles for a PIO (primary and alternate), for the dissemination of consistent and critical information, a Safety Officer, and a Community Liaison. Additional categories were also added for Operations, Logistics, and Finance & Recovery. The focus of Finance & Recovery is to track personnel and non-personnel expenditures related to COVID-19 in order to seek reimbursement from the state.
The Latest COVID-19 Statistics:
As of Wednesday, October 12, 2022, COVID-19 numbers in the city of Redlands are as follows:
Total Cases: 22,652
Community Cases: 22,096
Deaths: 364
Total Tests: 329,812
Vaccinations and Testing
Vaccinations and boosters are in good supply and readily available to any resident aged 12 and over, and there are vaccination sites located throughout the County. For more information on COVID-19 vaccinations please visit sbcovid19.com/vaccine/.
Testing appointments can be made through the San Bernardino County COVID-19 Response website as follows: https://sbcovid19.com/testing-sites/.
In addition, self-tests for COVID-19 are recommended by the CDC as they give rapid results and can be taken anywhere, regardless of vaccination status or whether or not symptoms are present. Self-tests detect current infection, and give results in a few minutes. Along with vaccinations, wearing a well-fitted mask, and physical distancing, self-tests help protect all by reducing the chances of spreading COVID-19, however, they do not detect antibodies which Redlands Regular Meeting of 10-18-22 226 of 1815
would suggest a previous infection, and they do not measure your level of immunity. Self-tests can be obtained through local health departments, and online or in pharmacies and retail stores.

I move City Council approve Resolution No. 8394.

RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the Mayor conduct the annexation proceeding in accordance with the above "Mayor's Agenda" and City Council adopt Resolution Nos. 8394 and 8395.
DISCUSSION:
On September 6, 2021, City Council approved Resolution No. 8382 to commence with the annexation proceedings for Duke Realty Limited Partnership., Planned Development No. 4, to Community Facilities District No. 2004-1 (CFD) for the purposes of performing maintenance of public trails and trail fences within and adjacent to Planned Development No. 4. Additionally, at that meeting, a public hearing was set for October 18, 2022, regarding the annexation of approximately 22.57 acres of land located at the northeast corner of Mountain View Avenue and I-10. At the conclusion of the public hearing, City Council will consider adopting Resolution No. 8394 scheduling a special election within the territory to be annexed. Resolution No. 8394 schedules the special election for October 18, 2022, immediately following the public hearing.
Duke Realty Limited Partnership requested the annexation of its property into the CFD and delivered to the City Clerk a written waiver consenting to the special election being conducted by the City Clerk on October 18, 2022. The City Clerk consented to conduct the special election on that date.
Immediately following the adoption of Resolution No. 8394, the property owners will deliver voted ballots to the City Clerk. The City Clerk will then canvass the voted ballot(s) and report the results of the election to the Council. The Council will then consider the adoption of Resolution No. 8395, declaring the results of the election, which will complete the annexation of the property to the Community Facilities District.
The adoption of Resolution Nos. 8394 and 8395 are not subject to environmental Redlands Regular Meeting of 10-18-22 233 of 1815
The adoption of Resolution Nos. 8394 and 8395 are not subject to environmental review pursuant to Section 15061 (b)(3) of the California Environmental Quality Act, as the adoption of these Resolutions does not have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment.
CFD 2004-1 has had multiple annexations in the past 18 years which are listed in Attachment "L".
ALTERNATIVES:
The Council may choose to deny the request to annex property into CFD No. 2004-1; however, another funding source for the maintenance of the public trails and trail fences will need to be identified.
