City Council/Financing Authority Meeting L. 4.
DATE: 09/19/2023
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBJECT: Consideration of a $381,799 additional appropriation from the General Fund unassigned fund balance for the Mission Zanja Channel Improvements Project (Municipal Utilities and Engineering Director Harris)
MOTION(S):
If City Council determines the staff recommendation is appropriate, the following motion is provided:
I move that the City Council approve an additional appropriation of $381,799 from the General Fund unassigned fund balance for the Mission Zanja Channel Improvements Project.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends City Council approve a $381,799 additional appropriation from the General Fund unassigned fund balance for the Mission Zanja Channel Improvements Project.
DISCUSSION:
On September 5, 2023, City Council approved a construction contract with Harbor Coating and Restoration for the Mission Zanja Channel (MZC) Improvement Project between Texas Street and Eureka Street. The scope of the project includes cleaning and preparing the interior channel surface, removing material and debris as necessary to complete the work, spot repairing concrete, and applying the sealant to the channel walls and ceiling.
The September 5 staff report inadvertently identified the incorrect funding source, the Storm Drain Fund, for this project. This fund uses Development Redlands Regular Meeting of 09-19-2023
454 of 469
Impact Fees (DIF), the use of which is restricted to infrastructure capacity expansion related to new development. The use of DIF is not appropriate for this project since this section of the MZC is being maintained rather than expanded.
Therefore, staff recommends City Council approval of an additional appropriation of $381,799 from the General Fund for this project.
ALTERNATIVES:
City Council may deny the staff recommendation and provide alternate direction.

CLOSED SESSION REPORT
City Attorney Garcia announced that no reportable action was taken during the closed session.
PUBLIC COMMENT
Teamsters Local 1932 Support - Teamster daughters Madison Brooks and Julia, were proud of the work their fathers do every day for the City and they wanted them to be treated fairly. Rich Smith spoke in support of the Teamsters and pointed out that union members were united and strong and deserved more from the City. Several Teamsters were present in the Chambers with many more outside showing their support of unions.
Pride Flag
- Fourteen people expressed their disappointment with the recent decision of three Council Members who opposed amending the City's flag policy to allow flying of the pride flag in the month of June. The speakers were concerned that the LGBTQ+ community would not feel safe, and an environment of hate would persist. Possible solutions to bring about a compromise were offered. One such suggestion was to have the City fly only those flags that have already been approved in the state capital, and they added they thought this removed some of the burden from the city and put it directly on the shoulders of the state. One audience member recommended the American flag was the way to unite everyone without excluding anyone.

2023 General Fund Revenue Review
Management Services/Finance Director Garcia reviewed the 2023 General Fund Revenue and explained the City Manager had directed staff to perform a recurring review of the City’s main sources of general fund revenue. Through this effort, the structural balance of the City’s budget can be explored and the revenue trends that define the City’s financial parameters can be analyzed in-depth. The presentation provided an overview of the report's purpose, summarized the general fund’s revenue structure, briefly discussed the state-local relationship that governs the City’s revenue authority, and examined the City’s top six general fund revenue streams.
She concluded by saying the local economy is anticipated to weaken near the end of Fiscal Year 2023 and leading into Fiscal Year 2024. As several economic indicators have just recently started to weaken, it is very difficult to forecast the length and severity of a possible looming recession. Many policies and decisions made at the national level significantly influence the local economy. In order to combat extremely high inflation rates, the Federal Reserve will likely continue raising interest rates, which may further impact the local real estate market, in order to reduce overall economic activity. Taken together, slow to moderate growth is anticipated over the six-year forecast period among economically sensitive revenues such as Property Tax, Sales Tax, Business License Tax, and Transient Occupancy Tax receipts.
On motion of Council Member Jenna Guzman-Lowery, seconded by Council Member Denise Davis, the City Council unanimously approved, by roll call vote, to receive and file the 2023 General Fund Revenue Review report.

In accordance with Government Code Subsection 36512(b)(2), any person appointed would hold office until the next general municipal election. The appointment must be made by a majority of the Council.

PUBLIC HEARINGS
Ordinance No. 2957 Extending Moratorium Development Projects EVCSP
Due to ownership of property within 500 feet of the identified list of parcels, Council Member Davis recused herself from this item. Mayor Tejeda declared the meeting open as a public hearing and called on Development Services Director Desatnik for background of Ordinance No. 2957, an Urgency Ordinance extending a moratorium for 12 months on certain new development projects for properties located within the Commercial Industrial (EV/IC) District Of The East Valley Corridor Specific Plan that are identified on the list of potential housing sites prepared in conjunction with the City’s 2021-2029 Housing Element.
He explained that on June 7, 2022, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2928, an interim ordinance adopting a temporary 45-day moratorium on land use approvals and building permits on fifteen properties located within the EV/IC district of the EVCSP and again on July 19, 2022, the Council adopted Ordinance No. 2939 extending the moratorium for 10 months and 15 days. If the Council takes no action, the temporary moratorium currently in place will automatically expire on June 7, 2023. The work by staff requires more time to complete, and EIR preparation will require the remainder of this year and likely into Spring 2024. As public comment, Bobby Garrity reiterated his disappointment with the lack of affordable housing in Redlands and he urged the Council to take more immediate steps to support projects intended to fill the need. Jody supported the moratorium and voiced concerns about the traffic and safety impacts from developments near Montessori School. With no further discussion, Mayor Tejeda closed the public hearing.
On motion of Council Member Jenna Guzman-Lowery, seconded by Mayor Pro Tempore Paul Barich, the City Council adopted, by roll call vote, Urgency Ordinance No. 2957, to extend the temporary moratorium related to Ordinance No. 2939 by twelve (12) months in accordance with Government Code Section 65858(a).
