PUBLIC COMMENT
CC_September 2, 2025
Open Government — Stephen Rogers raised questions about his lawsuit against the City, was hopeful the matter would not be delayed any further, and he wondered when the PARIS fees would be removed from residents' utility bills. He was curious why the Closed Session did not include a performance evaluation related to the City Attorney, and he again recommended the Council establish measurable goals and objectives for the City Manager position.
Mass Shooting in Minnesota — Joshua Hall said the shooter in Minnesota was identified as transgender, and he thought that the government was wrongly celebrating the transgender lifestyle. He urged for more pharmaceutical regulations to limit the use of Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRI) and antidepressants.
Citrus Avenue Widening — J.J. Orf and Daniel Espinoza voiced concerns regarding the planned widening of Citrus Avenue, between Dearborn and Wabash, as they weren't convinced the street needed widening. They thought the focus should be more about how fast drivers are going on this stretch, and they requested to see any new engineering designs for the street.

Settlement Agreement Disclosure
City Attorney Garcia explained the settlement agreement in connection with Julie C.
Alvarado-Salcido v. City of Redlands; San Bernardino County Superior Court Case No. CIVSB 2218452, reflected the terms and conditions for settlement as approved by the City Council and City Attorney at a special meeting held on June 24, 2025. In accordance with the City's Municipal Code, and following the spirit of the Brown Act, this matter is to notify the public of the settlement negotiated by the City. Furthermore, Ms. Garcia clarified that during the public portion of the meeting on 6/24/25, she provided the Closed Session Report, announcing the terms of the Settlement Agreement. As public comment, Stephen Rogers said there appeared to be no accountability for bad behavior because the City has not incorporated a code of conduct for all employees to follow. He added that the item should not be on the Consent Calendar, and he thought this lacked transparency.
On motion of Council Member Paul Barich, seconded by Council Member Denise Davis, the City Council unanimously approved, by roll call vote, the disclosure and agreed to receive and file the Settlement Agreement and General Release between the City of Redlands, Michael Reiss, and Julie C.

Limited-Term Building Maintenance Worker Positions
Facilities and Community Services Director Crocker described the needs of the Building Maintenance Division. The aging infrastructure of the City's buildings requires significant resources and time to ensure the proper function and safety of these spaces. Currently, there are a number of deferred painting projects that need to be completed to prevent potential damage or deterioration and maintain the visual appeal of the City's properties. The addition of two limited-term Building Maintenance Painter positions through the end of the 2025/26 fiscal year will allow the Building Maintenance Division to address different painting projects throughout the City and ensure the longevity of the properties while also enhancing the visual appeal to the community.
As public comment, Stephen Rogers was confused that this item was presented by Director Crocker and not Human Resources Director Meteau. He suggested the City was not in compliance with fair employment practices and these positions should be posted online and made available to anyone interested in applying. Director Crocker and Assistant City Manager Boatman clarified that these positions will be recruited and will not be under contract. The two limited-term Building Maintenance Worker (Painter) positions will go away at the end of the term, not-to-exceed 15 months.

WWTP Landfill Leachate Environmental Site Assessment
Municipal Utilities and Engineering Director Harris explained the need for a Sole Source Professional Services Agreement with Rincon Consultants, Inc., for a landfill leachate environmental site assessment at the Wastewater Treatment Plant for an amount not-to-exceed $369,750. In 2020, MUED staff discovered that leachate from the City’s landfill had been intermittently disposed of in an unlined sludge drying bed at the City’s Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) for approximately six years. Staff immediately discontinued the practice and notified the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board (Board). The Board requested that the City prepare a Work Plan to investigate potential impacts to soil and groundwater.
Rincon Consultants, Inc. was hired to develop and submit the required Work Plan, titled "Redlands Wastewater Treatment Facility Landfill Leachate Investigation," due to their recent experience with installing ground monitoring wells for site assessment at another location within the City. The Board provided comments in 2022 and issued additional guidance via email in 2023. After incorporating all required revisions, the Work Plan was formally approved by the Board on March 25, 2025. The proposed Scope of Work presented tonight is based on the Board’s comments and outlines the necessary level of effort to revise and finalize the Work Plan, implement a subsurface investigation, and prepare a report documenting findings and recommendations.
On motion of Mayor Pro Tempore Marc Shaw, seconded by Council Member Denise Davis, the City Council unanimously determined, by roll call vote, that approval of a Professional Services Agreement with Rincon Consultants, Inc. is exempt from environmental review pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the State's guidelines implementing the California Environmental Quality Act; and approved the Sole Source Professional Services Agreement with Rincon Consultants, Inc. for a landfill leachate environmental site assessment at the Wastewater Treatment Plant for an amount not-to-exceed $369,750.

SUBJECT: Adopt Resolution No. 8714 for Street Vacation No. 197, a request to vacate a small portion of Ramona Drive, consisting of approximately 77 linear feet (1,200 square-feet) of public right-of-way, located adjacent to the property at 1300 Prospect Drive. The subject portion of right-of-way is located at the southeast corner of 1300 Prospect Drive (APN: 0174-012-07-0000). This proposal qualifies for exemption from environmental review pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines (Development Services Director Desatnik) MOTION(S):
If the City Council determines that staff’s recommendation is appropriate, the following motions are provided:
I move that the City Council determine that adoption of Resolution No. 8714 is exempt from environmental review pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the State's guidelines implementing the California Environmental Quality Act; and
1. I move to adopt Resolution No. 8714 and approve Street Vacation No. 197.2.
RECOMMENDATION:
On July 22, 2025, the Planning Commission determined the proposed Street Vacation would be in conformance with the 2035 General Plan and recommended that the City Council approve Street Vacation No. 197.
DISCUSSION:
The applicant, Sajid A. Ahmed, has filed an application for Street Vacation No. 197 to vacate an excess portion of public right-of-way approximately 1,200 square feet in size, that is partially improved as public roadway, located at the southeast corner of a property with an existing single-family residence at 1300 Prospect Drive (Attachment A – Location Map and Aerial).
The applicant is requesting the 1,200-square-foot portion of Ramona Drive be vacated for the purpose of improving the lot line configuration of their property at 1300 Prospect Drive. The private property owner will continue to maintain the landscaped planter portion.
In 1877, the subject portion of land was a portion of the parcel located at 1300 Prospect Drive which was labeled then as Block 24, Lot 5, under Map No. 6 of Redlands Heights, north of California Street (now known as Ramona Drive). In 1931, the owners of Lot 5 granted to the City of Redlands a portion of the lot for street purposes at a value of ten dollars. In 1976, Parcel Map No. 1340 did not include the subject portion of land as part of Ramona Drive. However, in 1978, Parcel Map No. 4425 included the subject portion of land north of Ramona Drive and southwest of Prospect Drive (a private road). The paved area of the subject portion of land is not necessary for public access, as adjacent owners would continue to have access via the 23-foot-wide entry to Prospect Drive for private use as listed within a recorded stipulation from 1999 (led by the Kimberly Shirk Association) for the use and access of Prospect Drive (a private road) between the surrounding property owners.
On July 22, 2025, the Planning Commission reviewed the proposal and voted to adopt Resolution No. 1710 determining the street vacation would be in conformance with the 2035 General Plan (see Attachment B - Planning Commission Staff Report).
The subject portion of right of way is approximately 77 feet wide with a total area of approximately 1,200 square feet (see Attachment C-2 - Legal Description and Exhibit). If approved, the vacated land would return to the abutting existing residential property (APN: 0174-012-07-0000) to improve the lot line configuration of their property at 1300 Prospect Drive.
Pursuant to the California Streets and Highways Code (which defines the general procedures for public street and easement vacations), the City Council may adopt a resolution summarily vacating a public street upon finding (supported by substantial evidence) that the right of way is no longer needed for vehicular or pedestrian traffic and is unnecessary for present or prospective use.
The finding can be made for the subject segment of the public road which exceeds the street width required for a Local Road pursuant to the 2035 General Plan and is not required for public street or highway purposes.
Therefore, the summary vacation meets the criteria and may be approved.
Based on the existing conditions and the adjoining land uses, the excess right-of-way may be considered not necessary for public access. The subject area consists of landscaping and paving which connects to the residential property at 1300 Prospect Drive. The paved area of the subject portion of land is not necessary for public access as adjacent owners would continue to have access via the 23-foot-wide entry to Prospect Dr./Ct. (a private road) as listed within the recorded stipulation from 1999. The proposed Street Vacation is not expected to result in any negative impacts on the traffic-carrying capacity of Ramona Drive (a public street), since the area proposed to be vacated has been determined to be excess right-of-way by the City Engineer and is not currently in public use.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
Street Vacation No. 197 will have no potentially significant effects on the environment and qualifies for exemption from environmental review in accordance with Section 15061(b)(3) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines. Section 1506(b)(3) is the "general rule" exemption for projects where it can be seen with certainty that there will be no environmental effects as a result of the activity.
ALTERNATIVES:
The City Council may:
Continue the matter to allow for additional information; or,1.
Not adopt the Resolution.2.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
Not applicable.

PROPOSAL
The applicant (the property owner of 1300 Prospect Drive) has filed an application to vacate a small portion of public right-of-way approximately 1,200 square feet in size that is partially improved as a public roadway. The subject portion of right-of-way is located at the southeast corner of a property with an existing single-family residence at 1300 Prospect Drive (see Attachments A and B).
Approximately 530 square feet of the subject right-of-way consists of a landscape planter (maintained by the property owner of 1300 Prospect Drive) and the remaining portion is paved with asphalt.
The applicant is requesting the 1,200-square-foot portion of Ramona Drive be vacated for the purpose of improving the lot line configuration of his property at 1300 Prospect Drive. The private property owner will continue to maintain the landscaped planter portion.
Noteworthy is that a portion of Prospect Dr./Ct. (totaling 341 feet in length) is considered a private road because it crosses into private property at 1300 Prospect Drive, and therefore, is not considered public right-of-way. This portion of roadway is not a part of this Street Vacation request. The Kimberly Crest historical property is located immediately to the northeast of 1300 Prospect Dr., with one means of roadway access provided from Prospect Dr./Ct. (see Background section below for further discussion).
BACKGROUND
In 1877, the subject portion of land was a portion of the parcel located at 1300 Prospect Drive, which was labeled then as Block 24, Lot 5, under Map No. 6 of Redlands Heights, north of California Street (now known as Ramona Drive). In 1931, the owners of Lot 5 granted to the City of Redlands a portion of the lot for street purposes at a value of ten dollars. In 1976, Parcel Map No. 1340 did not include the subject portion of land as part of Ramona Drive. However, in 1978, Parcel Map No. 4425 includes the subject portion of land north of Ramona Drive (a public road) and southwest of Prospect Drive (a private road).
Additionally, there is a recorded stipulation from 1999 (led by the Kimberly Shirk Association) for the use and access of Prospect Drive (private road) between the surrounding property owners. There is a gate located north of the subject portion of land for access to the private road which leads to the Kimberly Crest House and Gardens.
In 1985, the City Council approved Resolution No. 4055 (Attachment C) to preserve cut stone curbs and walls in older neighborhoods to preserve their historical character and appearance. The subject portion of Ramona Drive contains a landscape planter with a cut stone curb (in good condition) which aligns and extends with the southern property line of 1300 Prospect Drive. Although this area is not listed as a priority area for preservation, Resolution 4055 requires adjacent property owners to maintain in good condition all existing cut stone curbs along their respective frontages.
ANALYSIS
Pursuant to State law, the City may regulate traffic on its public streets, alleys, and walkways only to the extent expressly authorized. The law permits the City to vacate a street, alley, or walkway upon a finding supported by substantial evidence that the right of way is no longer needed for vehicular or pedestrian traffic and is unnecessary for present or prospective use.
California Government Code Section 65402(a) requires that prior to considering a vacation or abandonment of any public right-of-way, the planning agency (i.e., Planning Commission) shall review the matter and render a determination as to the proposal’s conformity with the City’s General Plan.
The 2035 General Plan’s Connected City chapter indicates Ramona Drive as a “Local Road” on Figure 5-5, Roadway Classifications. This roadway has been constructed with 18 feet of paving within approximately 60 feet of right-of-way (total right-of-way width varies). The subject portion of right-of-way (at the intersection of Ramona Dr. and Prospect Dr./Ct.) currently exceeds the width requirements of Ramona Drive as a public road. A portion of the subject area consists of a landscape planter maintained by the property owner of 1300 Ramona Drive, and the remaining portion is paved with asphalt that exceeds the width requirement for Ramona Drive along this segment of street. The subject area may be considered as excess right-of-way, and if the Street Vacation request is approved, it would not conflict with any General Plan map or designation.
Based on the existing conditions and the adjoining land uses, the excess right-of-way may be considered not necessary for public access. The subject area consists of landscaping and paving which connects to the residential property at 1300 Prospect Drive. The paved area of the subject portion of land is not necessary for public access as adjacent owners would continue to have access via the 23-foot-wide entry to Prospect Dr./Ct. (a private road) as listed within the recorded stipulation from 1999. The proposed Street Vacation is not expected to result in any negative impacts on the traffic-carrying capacity of Ramona Drive (a public street), since the area proposed to be vacated has been determined to be excess right-of-way by the City Engineer and is not currently in public use.
Additionally, City Council Resolution No. 4055 requires all existing cut stone curbs and walls within public right-of-way to be maintained in good condition by the adjacent property owners. The northerly side of Ramona Drive has a cut stone wall, varying from 1' to 2' high, that wraps around the property at 1300 Prospect Drive. Similarly, Prospect Dr./Ct. (private road), a large portion of which is on the property of 1300 Prospect Drive, has a cut stone wall varying between 2' to 4' high at the intersection with Ramona Drive. These cut stone curbs and walls adjacent to 1300 Prospect Drive would be expected to be maintained and preserved in good condition by the property owner (the applicant in this case).
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Street Vacation No. 197 will have no significant effects or potentially significant effects on the environment as a result of this proposal, and qualifies for exemption from environmental review in accordance with Section 158061(b)(3) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines.
FINDINGS
The Planning Commission may find and determine that the requested Street Vacation is consistent with the City’s General Plan.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission find that Street Vacation No. 197 is in conformity with the City’s General Plan.
MOTIONS
“I move that the Planning Commission adopt Resolution No. 1710 and determine that Street Vacation No. 197 for an excess portion of Ramona Drive located adjacent to 1300 Prospect Drive is in conformity with the City’s General Plan.”

RESOLUTION NO. 4055
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF REDLANDS
REGARDING PRESERVATION OF CUTSTONE CURBS AND WALLS
WHEREAS, this City Council finds that cutstone curbs and walls throughout the City of Redlands, are important elements of the_ City's streetscape and represent the craftsmanship of an age gone by as well as an interesting aspect of the City's heritage; and WHEREAS, the Historic and Scenic Preservation Commission has inventoried our cutstone curbs and found a majority of them to be in good condition; and
WHEREAS, most of these curbs are found in the central core area of the City between Center Street, Redlands Boulevard, Brookside Avenue and Highland Avenue but elsewhere in the City there are scattered stretches of such curbs or walls, the major portion of which are also in good repiar;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Redlands as follows:
1. All existing cutsone curbs and walls in the public right of-way shall be maintained by the adjacent property owner in good repair.
2. Upon receipt of information or a complaint, property owners adjacent to curbs and walls in disrepair shall be notified by City staff of their responsibility to maintain such curbs and walls in a safe and attractive manner.
3. The City of Redlands Public Works Standard Detail Drawing No. 100 D (Standard Stone Curb Section) shall be used for new curbing and for repair of existing curbing. Alterations or repairs to existing cutstone curbs shall be effected in a manner conforming to surrounding curb characteristics. For example, repairs to splitface or rounded stone shall include replacements with the same kind of stone.
4. When streets with cutstone curbs are widened, cutstones shall be salvaged, and developers shall be encouraged to reuse the cutstone curbs as part of such street improvement project.
5. Cutstone materials which must be removed shall be stored at the City's stockpile for use in repair and restoration of other cutstone curb and wall areas. Stockpiled cutstones shall be utilized for public right-of-way improvements, not for private construction.
6. When resurfacing City streets with cutstone curbing, City contractors and crews shall take all necessary care to assure that such curbs will retain their full height and their gutters will remain exposed. City specifications on public works projects shall reflect this policy.
7 . Cutstone curbs and walls shall not be painted, and instead appropriate traffic regulatory signs shall be posted, unless otherwise determined by the Street Superintendent when considering public safety, historic preservation , and aesthetics. When any painting of cutstones over 25 feet in length is considered, the Street Superintendent shall first consult the Historic and Scenic Preservation Commission.
8 . Where curb sections have been painted, the City shall encourage the returning of the curbs to their natural state rather than any repainting.
9 . The City shall develop a public awareness program to explain the importance of cutstone curbs and walls to the City ' s heritage and to assist property ownes in fulfilling their responsibilities for maintenance and upkeep of such curbs and walls.

City Council/Financing Authority Meeting I. 7.
DATE: 09/16/2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBJECT: Approve of the Local Cooperative Fire Protection Agreement between the City of Redlands and the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, San Bernardino National Forest (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 the Local Cooperative Fire Protection Agreement between the City of Redlands and the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, San Bernardino National Forest, and authorize the Mayor to execute the agreement on behalf of the City.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council approve the Local Cooperative Fire Protection Agreement between the City of Redlands and the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, San Bernardino National Forest, for the provision of reciprocal fire protection, including mutual aid, reimbursable assistance, and coordinated efforts in the prevention, detection, management, and suppression of wildland fires.
DISCUSSION:
The Local Cooperative Fire Protection Agreement is established under the Reciprocal Fire Protection Act of 1955 (42 USC 1856a, as amended). This federal law authorizes federal agencies, such as the U.S. Forest Service, to enter into agreements with state and local fire organizations to provide mutual aid for fire protection. The Act allows agencies to share resources, equipment, and personnel for the prevention, detection, and suppression of fires, and it permits reimbursement for assistance when appropriate. Its purpose is to permits reimbursement for assistance when appropriate. Its purpose is to improve efficiency, reduce duplication of services, and ensure faster, coordinated response to fires that cross jurisdictional boundaries between federal, state, and local lands.
Given Redlands’ proximity to federally administered forest lands, cooperative agreements are necessary to ensure effective response to wildland fire incidents that extend across jurisdictional boundaries. The Local Cooperative Fire Protection Agreement provides reciprocal fire protection through mutual aid, reimbursable assistance, and coordinated efforts in the prevention, detection, management, and suppression of wildland fires.
The Forest Service is responsible for the prevention, detection, management, and suppression of wildland fires on San Bernardino National Forest-administered lands. While the Forest Service does not respond to structure fires, vehicle fires, or traffic accidents, it may assist when such incidents create a wildland fire threat to adjacent federal lands. In turn, while the Redlands Fire Department provides structural fire protection, emergency medical services, hazardous response, and fire prevention within the City of Redlands, they also provide mutual aid support when wildland fires threaten lands adjacent to the City's jurisdiction.
The agreement enhances public safety, improves efficiency by reducing duplication of resources, and strengthens interagency coordination. It ensures timely response and improves outcomes during wildland fire incidents that may affect both city and federal lands.
ALTERNATIVES:
The City Council may decline to approve the agreement. However, without this agreement, the City would have limited ability to secure coordinated support from the U.S. Forest Service during wildland fire events affecting areas adjacent to Redlands.

Local Fire Protection Agreement
City Council/Financing Authority Meeting I. 8.
DATE: 09/16/2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBJECT: Approve a Products Agreement with Nearmap US, Inc. to provide aerial imagery services for an amount not-to-exceed $72,213 for three years (Management Services/Finance Director Garcia) MOTION(S):
If the City Council determines that staff’s recommendation is appropriate, the following motion is provided:
I move that the City Council approve a Products Agreement with Nearmap US, Inc. to provide aerial-imagery services for an amount not-to-exceed $72,213 for three years.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the Products Agreement with Nearmap for aerial-imagery services for an amount not-to-exceed $72,213, for three years.
DISCUSSION:
The City of Redlands' GIS team uses Nearmap's aerial imagery daily to provide quality services to multiple departments in the City. The City has been using aerial-imagery services from Nearmap since December 2017, and wishes to continue their partnership with a three-year (36 months) agreement.
Nearmap provides sub-2.5" high-resolution aerial imagery for both vertical and oblique orientations. This means that the imagery is capable of capturing details on the ground that are greater than or equal to 2.5 inches, and even smaller.
Vertical aerial imagery is flown between two to four times per year, and oblique imagery is flown once per year in our area. These aerial imagery services are currently used in Municipal Utilities and Engineering, Development Services, Facilities and Community Services, Fire, Police, and Management Services Facilities and Community Services, Fire, Police, and Management Services departments. Additionally, this software is already integrated into several ArcGIS-related applications, making it extremely easy to access and use.
Nearmap has also provided the City an allotment of 3D data exports derived from their yearly oblique imagery capture, and Nearmap now provides AI-derived service layers as an export which can be used to identify ground coverage for surfaces such as buildings, concrete, asphalt, and vegetation.
The proposed products agreement from Nearmap will allow for 36 months or three years, of access to Nearmap's services. The first year, should the agreement be approved today, will have a retroactive start date of August 15, 2025 and will cost $22,029, the second year will cost $24,012, and the third year will cost $26,172, for a total amount not-to-exceed $72,213.
ALTERNATIVES:
The City Council may choose to reject, modify, or table this item.

City Council/Financing Authority Meeting I. 10.
DATE: 09/16/2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBJECT: Approve a Second Amendment to the Agreement with Liftoff LLC for Microsoft Office 365 software licensing and consulting services (Management Services/Finance Director Garcia)
MOTION(S):
If the City Council determines that the staff’s recommendation is appropriate, the following motion is provided:
I move that the City Council approve the Second Amendment to the agreement with Liftoff LLC for Microsoft Office 365 software licensing and consulting services.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the Second Amendment to the agreement with Liftoff LLC for the provision of Microsoft Office 365 software licensing and consulting services.
DISCUSSION:
In February 2022, the City Council approved an agreement with Liftoff LLC ("Liftoff") for software licensing and professional consulting services to facilitate the City's conversion from a Microsoft Exchange on-premise server-based e-mail platform to Office 365, an online, hosted e-mail platform. Office 365 comes with a long list of advantages over traditional on-premise e-mail systems.
The initial agreement with Liftoff covered the project's two phases, and then several years of software licensing renewals.
Initially, the agreement was for one year with the option to extend that Initial Term for four (4) additional one-year terms. The compensation for the first year was $160,000, then $130,000 for each additional one-year term, bringing total compensation for the agreement to $680,000. Staff shortages and project delays compensation for the agreement to $680,000. Staff shortages and project delays resulted in the City Council first amending the agreement in 2023 to move the majority of funding from the first year to the second year of the agreement. The last year of the agreement (Year 5) starts on February 1, 2026 and will run until January 31, 2027, and the budget for the Year 5 license renewals is currently $130,000.
The software licenses that were purchased in the original agreement accounted for each e-mail assigned to an employee or departmental group with a cityofredlands.org or redlandspolice.org domain and the accompanying cybersecurity protection for these accounts. The types of licenses purchased varied due to the access needed for different types of employees, with a higher cost assigned to licenses that need access to an Office Suite program (i.e., Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.). The IT department has continually adjusted the numbers and types of licenses needed for employees as positions have turned over, and has eliminated redundant or discontinued group e-mails. As a result, the total number of licenses purchased by the City has decreased overall, despite an increase in staffing levels since the agreement was executed in 2022.
However, as a condition of the original agreement, Microsoft reserved the right to increase the cost of these licenses, which they have incrementally done over the last three years. The cost of the most common type of license that gives employees access to an Office Suite program increased from $20.00 per license per month in 2022 to $25.30 per license per month in 2025-2026. While the cost of other licenses has gone down, and specialty licenses were added sparingly, the projected amount needed for the final year of the agreement is no longer sufficient. The total cost for license renewal for Year 5 is now $142,099.44, which exceeds the budgeted amount of $130,000. Currently, the City has spent $475,024 of the total amount of the agreement, which leaves $204,976 unspent.
The amendment before the City Council would allow the City to reallocate those unspent funds from the previous 4 years of the agreement to Year 5 of the agreement, the final year, to account for the increased cost of software licenses and any additional licensing needs that may arise.
ALTERNATIVES:
The City Council may deny the motion and provide alternative direction to staff.

SUBJECT: Approve an Intergovernmental Agreement with Burtronics Business Systems for managed print services for an initial term of three years for $175,000, with an option for a one-year extended term for a total amount not-to-exceed $235,000 for as-needed services (Management Services/Finance Director Garcia)
MOTION(S):
If the City Council determines that staff’s recommendation is appropriate, the following motion(s) is provided:
I move to approve the Intergovernmental agreement with Burtronics Business Systems for Managed Print Services for an initial term of three years for $175,000, with an option for a one-year extended term for a total amount not-to-exceed $235,000 for as-needed services.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the Intergovernmental agreement with Burtronics Business Systems for citywide Managed Print Services which includes support, maintenance, and supplies for all SHARP machines in the City for an initial term of three years for $175,000 with the option for a one-year extended term for a total amount not-to-exceed $235,000 for as-needed services.
DISCUSSION:
The City of Redlands utilizes multi-function devices (MFDs), commonly referred to as "copiers", throughout the City to facilitate daily operations. These MFDs have the ability to copy, print, fax, and scan. In 2020, the City entered into a five-year lease agreement for 30 Sharp Electronics multi-function devices with De Lage Landen Public Finance, LLC with a nominal buy-out option for these devices at the end of the lease. After recently concluding that five-year lease in devices at the end of the lease. After recently concluding that five-year lease in July of 2025, the City now owns 33 Sharp MFDs spread across various City facilities.
Also in 2020, the City executed an agreement with a vendor for Managed Print Services that also concluded in July 2025, and has been operating on a month-to-month agreement with that vendor while a new procurement process was underway. For background, Managed Print Services is an industry term that describes on-demand printer supply replacement and on-site technician services for copiers and printing equipment.
Staff followed the City’s procurement guidelines by examining and selecting an existing competitively-bid cooperative contract agreement with the National Association of State Procurement Officials (NASPO) ValuePoint. NASPO is a non-profit association made up of the directors of the central purchasing offices of the 50 states, District of Columbia and territories of the United States. By utilizing the NASPO ValuePoint cooperative purchasing agreement, the City is able to benefit from the combined purchasing power of more than 50,000 government, education, and nonprofit organizations to take advantage of preferred pricing and administrative efficiencies.
Under the NASPO's Authorized Sharp Electronics' Dealer List for Multi-Function Devices and related software, services, and cloud solutions, City staff researched several vendors chosen at random, determined whether they could offer Managed Print Services to the City of Redlands, elicited reviews from those vendors' current clients, and finally, solicited quotes from the highly rated remaining vendors based on the City's fleet of MFDs. The quotes were provided under the current industry standard that organizations use to avoid pre-payment of printing volumes that they may not use. This metric is called "Cost Per Click", and ensures that only actual printing volumes will be charged in arrears and accounts for the maintenance, support, and supplies needed to sustain our City-owned machines.
Burtronics Business Systems has served Inland Empire Businesses since 1985 and currently serves nearby municipalities and public entities to high acclaim.
Their current proposal for the City of Redlands will be an all-inclusive service and supply agreement that will include all parts, labor, toner, drums and consumable items for the Sharp MFDs, and will provide invoices using monitoring software for supply and service alerts to deliver accurate meter readings and invoice the City on a monthly basis. Their services will allow the City to add or remove MFDs per the City's needs and will also include on-site support, helpdesk support, and report support, and will directly ship supplies to our MFD locations across the City.
Based on staff's assessment, Burtronics' proposed Managed Print Services for the 33 City-owned Sharp Multi-Function Devices, are recommended to be sourced through the NASPO cooperative purchasing agreement for an initial term of three years for $175,000 with an option for a one-year extended term for a total amount not-to-exceed $235,000 for as-needed services.
ALTERNATIVES:
City Council may choose to reject, modify, or table the proposed purchase and the City may continue to pay a month-by-month contract with their previous Managed Print Services vendor.

4.10 No Representations. The Contractor shall not make any representations of NASPO ValuePoint, the Lead State, any Participating Entity, or any Purchasing Entit y’s opinion or position as to the quality or effectiveness of the services that are the subject of this Master Agreement without prior written consent.
V. NASPO ValuePoint Provisions
5.1 Applicability. NASPO ValuePoint is not a party to the Master Agreement. The terms set forth in section V are for the benefit of NASPO ValuePoint as a third -party beneficiary of this Master Agreement.
5.2 Administrative Fees
5.2.1 NASPO ValuePoint Fee. Contractor shall pay to NASPO ValuePoint, or its assignee, a NASPO ValuePoint Administrative Fee of one -quarter of one percent (0.25% or 0.0025) no later than sixty (60) days following the end of each calendar quarter. The NASPO ValuePoint Administrative F ee must be submitted quarterly and is based on all sales of products and services under the Master Agreement (less any charges for taxes or shipping). The NASPO ValuePoint Administrative Fee is not negotiable. This fee is to be included as part of the pric ing submitted with a vendor’s response to the Lead State’s solicitation.
5.2.1.1 Contractor will report on all Usage Based Equipment sales, and on Usage Based or Life Cycle Service and Supply sales. This method will no l onger require the Contractor to capture the actual Service and Supply revenues that are billed to the customer each month.
5.2.1.2 Industry research has shown close to a 1:1 ratio between sales price on a piece of Equipment and the actual amount of Service and Supply costs required to operate that Equipment over its Useful Life. Therefore, to simplify the reporting process and remove the burden to capture the actual Service and Supply costs, the Contractor may report as follows:
5.2.1.2.1 Purchased Equipment: Contractor shall report the actual amount invoiced (less any taxes) for all Equipment sold under the reporting period (calendar quarter). In addition, the Contractor shall report an additional amount equal to the invoice amount and identified as “Life Cycle Service and Supplies,” or an actual amount and identified as “Usage Based Service and Supplies,” providing the customer elects to enter into a Maintenance Agreement. Thus, in the Contractor’s Detailed Sales Report, for each item sold, there will be two -line items:
one for the piece of Equipment, and one for the Life Cycle or Usage Based Service and Supplies. The amount reflected for the Life Cycle Service and Supplies must be equal to the amount of the Equipment.
5.2.1.2.2 Lease and Rental Equipment: Contractor may report sa les according to the Purchased Equipment methodology described above, or they may report the actual amount invoiced (less any taxes) for the lease or rental during the reporting period (calendar quarter). In addition, the Contractor shall report an additional amount equal to the invoice amount and identified as “Life Cycle Service and Supplies,” or an actual amount and DocuSign Envelope ID: CE9EDE21-548B-4156-BDF8-8383A0FC97D0 RFP-NP-23-001, Multi-Function Devices and Related Software, Services and Cloud Solutions 11
identified as “Usage Based Service and Supplies.” Thus, in the Contractor’s Detailed Sales Report, for each item leased or rented, there will be two-line items: one for the invoice amount to the customer for the Equipment, and one for the Life Cycle or Usage Based Service and Supplies. The amount reflected for the Life Cycle Service and Supplies must be equal to the amount of the invoiced Equipment.
5.2.2 State Imposed Fees. Some states may require an additional fee be paid by Contractor directly to the state on purchases made by Purchasing Entities within that state. For all such requests, the fee rate or amount, payment method , and schedule for suc h reports and payments will be incorporated into the applicable Participating Addendum. Unless agreed to in writing by the state, Contractor may not adjust the Master Agreement pricing to include the state fee for purchases made by Purchasing Entities within the jurisdiction of the state. No such agreement will affect the NASPO ValuePoint Administrative Fee percentage or the prices paid by Purchasing Entities outside the jurisdiction of the state requesting the additional fee.
5.3 NASPO ValuePoint Summary and Detailed Usage Reports
5.3.1 Sales Data Reporting. In accordance with this section, Contractor shall report to NASPO ValuePoint all Orders under this Master Agreement for which Contractor has invoiced the ordering entity or individual, including Orders invoice d to Participating Entity or Purchasing Entity employees for personal use if such use is permitted by this Master Agreement and the applicable Participating Addendum (“Sales Data”). Timely and complete reporting of Sales Data is a material requirement of t his Master Agreement. Reporting requirements, including those related to the format, contents, frequency, or delivery of reports, may be updated by NASPO ValuePoint with reasonable notice to Contractor and without amendment to this Master Agreement. NASPO ValuePoint shall have exclusive ownership of any media on which reports are submitted and shall have a perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, royalty free, and transferable right to display, modify, copy, and otherwise use reports, data, and information provided under this section.
5.3.2 Summary Sales Data. “Summary Sales Data ” is Sales Data reported as cumulative totals by state. Contractor shall, using the reporting tool or template provided by NASPO ValuePoint , report Summary Sales Data to NASPO ValuePoint for each calendar quarter no later than thirty (30) days following the end of the quarter. If Contractor has no reportable Sales Data for the quarter, Contractor shall submit a zero-sales report.
5.3.3 Detailed Sales Data. “Detailed Sales Data” is Sales Data that includes for each Order all information required by the Solicitation or by NASPO ValuePoint, including customer information, Order information, and line-item details. Contractor shall, using the reporting tool or template provided by NASPO ValuePoint , report Detailed Sales Data to NASPO ValuePoint for each calendar quarter no later than thirty (30) days following the end of the quarter.

To the extent permitted b y law, You hereby waive any and all rights and remedies conferred upon You under UCC Sections 2A -303 and 2A-508 through 522. You may be entitled under Article 2A of the UCC to the promises and warranties (if any) provided to Us by some or all of the Vendor(s) in connection with or as part of the contracts (if any) by which We acquire Equipment from such Vendor(s).
You may contact such Vendor(s) for an accurate and complete statement of those promises and warranties (if any), including any disclaimers and limitations of them or of remedies. If it is determined that any Lease is a lease intended as security and/or the related Schedule grants to You a $1.00 purchase option, then You hereby grant to Us a security interest in the related Equipment and all proceeds thereof.

each Equipment location so that We may inspect the Equipment whether performed prior to or after the Commencement Date of the related Lease. Unless otherwise stated in the related Schedule or as provided by law , We will own and have title to all Equipment (excluding any software) during each Lease. You agree that all Equipment is and shall remain personal property. Without Our prior written consent, You will not permit it to become (i) attached to real property or (ii) subject to any liens or encumbrances.

You shall use all Equipment in accordance with all laws, operation manuals, any service contracts and insurance requirements, and shall not make any permanent alterations to it. At Your cost, You shall keep all Equipment in good working order and warrantable condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted (“Good Condition”).
8. LOSS; DAMAGE; INSURANCE. With respect to each Lease, You shall, at all times during the Initial Term and any Renewal Term, (i) bear the risk of loss and damage to the Equipment, while it is in Your possession, and shall continue performing all Your obligations to Us even if it becomes damaged or suffers a loss, (ii) keep the Equipment insured against all risks of damage and loss (“Property Insurance”) in an amount equal to its original cost, with Us named as sole “loss payee,” and (iii) carry public liability insurance covering bodily injury and property damage (“Liability Insurance”) in an amount acceptable to Us, with Us named as “additional insured.” You have the choice of satisfying these insurance requirements by providing Us with satisfactory evidence of Prop erty and Liability Insurance (“Insurance Proof”), within 30 days of the Commencement Date of such Lease. Such Insurance Proof must provide for at least 30 days prior written notice to Us before it may be cancelled or terminated and must contain other term s satisfactory to Us. If you do not provide Us with Insurance Proof within 30 days of the Commencement Date of any Lease, or if such insurance terminates for any reason, then (a) You agree that We have the right, but not the obligation, to obtain such Property Insurance and/or Liability Insurance in such forms and amounts from an insurer of Our choosing in order to protect Our interests (“Other Insurance”), and (b) You agree that We may charge you a periodic charge for such Other Insurance.

City Council/Financing Authority Meeting I. 12.
DATE: 09/16/2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBJECT: Receive and file the Pavement Accelerated Repair Implementation Strategy (PARIS) Program Annual Report (Municipal Utilities and Engineering Director Harris)
MOTION:
If the City Council determines the staff recommendation is appropriate, the following motion is provided:
"I move that the City Council receive and file the Pavement Accelerated Repair Implementation Strategy (PARIS) Program annual report." RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council receive and file the Pavement Accelerated Repair Implementation Strategy (PARIS) Program Annual Report.
DISCUSSION:
On March 6, 2012, the City Council adopted the comprehensive Pavement Management Program (PMP 2012). The PMP 2012 provided a condition assessment of all City streets, specified street upgrade strategies, and provided timelines and prioritization for street maintenance treatment. At that time, Redlands streets had an average Pavement Condition Index (PCI) score of 53 (on a scale of 0-100, with 0 being a street needing full reconstruction and 100 being a new street). An average PCI of 53 is considered to be poor according to industry standards. As a result, the City Council determined the rehabilitation and improvement of the City streets was a top priority. In order to significantly improve the street conditions, staff developed the Pavement Accelerated Repair Implementation Strategy (PARIS) program.
On September 18, 2012, the City Council adopted PARIS with Resolution No.7219. The PARIS program identified funding sources and specific paving strategies to address the poor condition of the City's streets most efficiently and cost-effectively. The report outlined paving strategies to upgrade nearly 2/3 of all City streets (440 lane miles) in five (5) phases.
Ordinance No. 2787, adopted by the City Council on December 4, 2012, requires the City staff to prepare a report on revenues available for street repairs each year. The report also accounts for uses of the money such as project line-item expenses. The fifth and final phase of the PARIS Project was completed in December 2020, achieving the original goal of rehabilitating 440 lane miles of streets. Although $57.3 million was available for the project, PARIS was completed for $52.0 million, and the remaining funds were carried over into the Pavement Management Program (PMP).
In 2019, staff developed a strategy to pave the remaining one-third of City streets, while performing the necessary preventive maintenance on the two-thirds of City streets that were previously rehabilitated. On July 2, 2019, the City Council approved an agreement with Bucknam Infrastructure Group, Inc. (Bucknam) to evaluate citywide pavement conditions and update the PMP database. Bucknam assessed the condition of all streets and updated the citywide Pavement Management Program (PMP 2020). The condition of City street surfaces was evaluated, rated, and the projected life cycle for each was determined. The PMP 2020 outlines a schedule for the maintenance and reconstruction of City streets at appropriate time intervals to extend their overall life expectancy most efficiently and economically. In addition, the PMP 2020 establishes a comprehensive process to prioritize the rehabilitation of the City’s roadway system, which will be used as a powerful tool in the decision-making process to utilize the City’s available financial resources effectively.
The updated PMP includes a project forecasting strategy developed by Bucknam that follows the PARIS maintenance and rehabilitation project budgets and addresses the specific needs of each street. Staff used the PMP to prepare plans and specifications for the PMP Street Resurfacing Project as summarized in the table below:

City Council/Financing Authority Meeting I. 13.
DATE: 09/16/2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBJECT: Approve a purchase order with Evantec Corporation for Joint Utilities Laboratory Consumables and Supplies for a total amount not-to-exceed $83,000, and determine that this action is exempt from environmental review pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the State's guidelines implementing the California Environmental Quality Act (Municipal Utilities and Engineering Director Harris) MOTION(S):
If the City Council determines the staff recommendation is appropriate, the following motions are provided:
I move that the City Council determine that approval of a purchase order with Evantec Corporation is exempt from environmental review pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the State's guidelines implementing the California Environmental Quality Act.
1. I further move approval of a purchase order with Evantec Corporation for Joint Utilities Laboratory Consumables and Supplies for a total amount not-to-exceed $83,000.
2. RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council determine that approval of a purchase order with Evantec Corporation is exempt from environmental review pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the State's guidelines implementing the California Environmental Quality Act. Staff further recommends City Council approve a purchase order with Evantec Corporation for Joint Utilities Laboratory Consumables and Supplies for a total amount not-to-exceed $83,000.
DISCUSSION:
On February 13, 2024, the Municipal Utilities and Engineering Department (MUED) issued a bid notice for consumables used by the Joint Utility Laboratory (JUL), which allowed procurement of various supplies from different manufacturers. The solicitation also included options to extend the purchase orders and contracts for two (2) additional years. On March 7, 2024, the City Clerk's Office received one (1) bid, submitted by Evantec Corporation (Evantec).
On June 18, 2024, City Council approved several FY 24/25 annual purchase orders and contracts, including a purchase order for JUL supplies provided by Evantec. On May 20, 2025, City Council approved several FY 25/26 annual purchase orders and contracts. Although Evantec agreed to extend their contract for a second year through FY 25/26 at their original bid prices, the agreement was inadvertently omitted from those considered by City Council on May 20, 2025.
Approval of this purchase order is exempt from environmental review pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the State's guidelines implementing the California Environmental Quality Act, since it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that it will have a significant effect on the environment.
ALTERNATIVES:
City Council may deny the staff recommendation and provide alternate direction.

DATE: 09/16/2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBJECT: Approve the Redlands Police Department Tow Services Agreement with Rotational Tow Applicants: Broncs Towing Inc., Pepe’s Towing Service, Wilson’s Towing, and Armada Towing for the Term 2025-2028 (Police Chief Tolber)
MOTION(S):
If the City Council determines that staff’s recommendation is appropriate, the following motion is provided:
I move to approve the four (4) Tow Services Agreements with:
Broncs Towing Inc.1.
Pepe’s Towing Service2.
Wilson’s Towing3.
Armada Towing4.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends Council approval of the Tow Services Agreement with the four Redlands Police Department Rotational Tow Applicants as set forth in the report.
DISCUSSION:
Staff recommends that the City Council approve a new Tow Services Agreement with the following four (4) tow operators: Broncs Towing Inc., Pepe’s Towing Service, Wilson’s Towing, and Armada Towing. These companies have consistently provided reliable service to the City of Redlands over several years and have not experienced any significant performance issues. In light of the growing number of traffic collisions and disabled vehicles, the Redlands Police Department supports maintaining a rotation of four tow providers. The previous agreement, which also included three companies, proved effective and beneficial for both the City and the contracted operators.
In accordance with the City’s procurement policy, the Redlands Police Department (RPD) issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to potential tow service providers. RPD received twelve (12) applications, however, only four (4) met the minimum qualifications.
The qualified applicants are as follows:
Broncs Towing Inc.1.
Pepe's Towing Service2.
Wilson Towing3.
Armada Towing4.
Staff have reviewed all submittals and determined that Broncs Towing Inc., Pepe’s Towing Service, Wilson’s Towing, and Armada Towing meet all requirements outlined in the Request for Qualifications (RFQ). The RFQ mandates full compliance in order to participate in the Redlands Police Department (RPD) Tow Program. Therefore, staff recommends that the City Council approve Tow Services Agreements with the four qualifying companies.
Each of these operators maintains good business standing with the Secretary of State and meets all of the minimum requirements to participate in the RPD Tow Program, including but not limited to, maintaining a business office and vehicle storage yard within a three-mile radius of the City of Redlands, adequate signage, vehicle storage facility including a storage area for evidence. Each operator proposes hourly rates that are consistent with those charged by tow operators in neighboring jurisdictions.
To confirm compliance with the minimum requirements of the RFQ, RPD reviewed the bid summaries and supporting documentation submitted by each company, evaluated the 2025–2026 minimum requirements document along with additional materials provided by the businesses, and conducted site visits to the locations of the qualified tow operators. The on-site inspections conducted by RPD staff included a Q&A session and a thorough analysis of the facilities to determine whether they met the standards outlined in the Agreement. While other tow operators have expressed interest in participating in the program, they have not taken the necessary steps to meet the eligibility requirements outlined in the Agreement.
There is no negative fiscal impact; rather, the Tow Agreements generate revenue with fees set at $168 per impounded or stored vehicle. There is no charge for evidence tows, recovered stolen vehicles, or tows related to incapacitated drivers. The hourly rates of all operators are consistent with what surrounding tow operators charge in adjacent cities.
In addition, staff request that the following public records, related to this staff report, be made available for public review in accordance with the California Public Records Act.
These records can be accessed through the following link:
https://destinyhosted.com/public_records.cfm?id=73352&use_type=LOOKUP Public Request #5573.
ALTERNATIVES:
Do not approve the Tow Agreements. The Redlands Police Department will have to re-issue an RFQ to find other tow operators that are willing to submit an application.

TOW SERVICE
AGREEMENT
2025-2028
This Tow Service Agreement sets forth the rules and regulations that the tow operator (referred to herein as “operator” or “tow operator” identified under “Operator Approval” below ) shall comply with to receive a rotation tow listing with the Redlands Police Department (RPD).
Participation in the RPD Rotation Tow Program is voluntary. Compliance with all of the terms and conditions of this Tow Service Agreement is mandatory for oper ator participating in the RPD Rotation Tow Program. The operator, by agreeing to participate in the program, is not acting as an agent for the RPD or the City of Redlands when performing services under this Agreement. For clarification purposes, definitions are contained in Attachment A to this Agreement. Attachment B contains a summarized listing of the California Vehicle Code (CVC) and Civil Code laws applicable to all tow companies in the State of California. Attachment C contains a listing of the tow truck equipment specifications and equipment use requirements applicable to all RPD rotation tow operators. Attachment D contains instructions for completing required application forms.
I. RPD ROTATION TOW
A. The RPD Deputy Chief shall determine the maximum response time, enrollment period, reasonable rates, minimum number of trucks and any applicable waiver of requirements.
1. Waiver of requirements shall be in effect no longer than six months following the application by, and acceptance of, the operator who meets all requirements of this Agreement. Upon expiration of the six -month period, if operator fails to meet the minimum requirements of this Agreement, this Agreement shall be terminated.
2. A waiver will be granted for requirements based upon law or safety considerations.
3. Maximum Response Time
a. 0800-1800 20 minutes
b. 1801-0759 25 minutes
II. ROTATION LISTS
A. The RPD maintains one rotation tow list for all classes of tow trucks to ensure an equitable distribution of calls.
1. Regardless of the class of tow truck utilized or responding to the call, charges shall not be more than for the class of vehicle towed or serviced, except when vehicle recovery operations require a larger class of tow truck. -2-
I:\cmo\Agreements\Tow Service Agreement 2025-2028 FY25-0104.docx-ms
2. A call to the operator shall constitute one turn on the list and the operator shall subsequently be moved to the bottom of the list. This includes when the operator fails to answer the phone, is unable to respond, is unable to perform the required service, refuses to respond or provide service, or is canceled due to excessive response time. If it is determined that the operator is not needed and is canceled by the RPD, up to and including arrival at the scene, there shall be no charges, and the operator will be placed back at the top of the list.
3. If the operator is canceled by the vehicle’s owner or agent prior to the operator taking possession of the vehicle, there shall be no charges for towing. The operator shall immediately contact the RPD and advise the RPD of the cancellation. The operator will then be placed back at the top of the list.
4. If service, other than towing and recovery, has begun and is canceled by the vehicle’s owner or agent, the operator may charge a minimum of one -half of the regular hourly service charge for the time expended on the call. For purposes of cancellation, service begins when physical work on the vehicle has begun, not at the time of response. No lien shall arise for the service unless the operator has presented a written statement to the vehicle’s owner or agent for the signed authorization of services to be performed.
a. The operator shall not take possession of any vehicle to establish a lien for any non-towing services performed, or begun and subsequently canceled, when not entitled to such lien by law. Refer to Civil Code Section 3068.1 for when a lien begins.
B. If two or more operators are called to the same incident, distribution of the vehicles shall be at the discretion of the RPD Incident Commander.
C. The RPD Incident Commander may direct a RPD rotation tow operator to move vehicles to help clear a roadway or for lifesaving operations. Operator shall provide the assistance as directed. There shall be no charge for this assistance, and the assistance provided shall not change the operator’s place in the rotation.
D. The operator shall have a full-service business office and storage facility located within the City of Redlands. However, at the discretion RPD Deputy Chief, the operator may have a full-service business office and storage facility located no more than 3 miles outside of the City of Redlands city limits.
E. Operator shall have a minimum of five (5) years verifiable for -hire-towing experience, as an owner or principal, prior to the final filing date of an enrollment period in order to qualify for a RPD rotation tow listing.
F. Ownership status will be investigated and determined by the RPD. -3-
I:\cmo\Agreements\Tow Service Agreement 2025-2028 FY25-0104.docx-ms
G. There shall be no more than four operators approved for the rotation tow listing.

2. The operator who has a car carrier may be exempted from the recovery, wheel lift, and boom capability requirements. However, the car carrier must be an additional unit.
B. A violation of the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) and safe loading requirements of a tow truck shall be cause for immediate suspension. This includes exceeding the tow truck’s GVWR, front axle weight rating, rear axle weight rating, maximum tire weight ratings, or not maintaining 50% of the tow truck’s unladen weight on the front axle when lifting/carrying a load.
