City's 2025 Holiday Video
Public Information Officer Carl Baker presented the City's 2025 Holiday video wishing the community a wonderful holiday season. The Mayor thanked Multimedia Production Coordinator, Kam Kalanui, for his production work.

PUBLIC COMMENT
Mall - Dennis Bell found it interesting that the mall property has changed owners again. He hoped the new plans would prove to be more successful than previous developers. He still thought the City had missed an opportunity to purchase the mall for use as the police station.

Cypress Avenue Stop Sign - Bruce Laycook encouraged the Council to take action and move forward with the installation of a 4-way stop sign at Cypress Avenue and Alvarado. He said there was even more urgency now because of the new traffic signal slated for Cypress and Cajon.

Agendas - Steve Rogers raised several questions about who is responsible for preparing and finalizing the City Council agendas and who determines which items are placed under the Consent section.

Redlands Regular Meeting of 12/16/25 9 of 1055

Accept Kaiser Permanente Substance Abuse Prevention Outreach Grant On motion of Mayor Pro Tempore Marc Shaw, seconded by Council Member Eddie Tejeda, the City Council unanimously accepted, by roll call vote, the Redlands Substance Abuse Prevention Outreach Grant through Kaiser Permanente of Southern California in the amount of $15,000; approved an additional appropriation in the amount of $15,000 in the Governmental Grants fund; and approved one part-time Outreach Coordinator position with the Homeless Solution Division, for a limited term not-to-exceed 24 months.

Vote: 5 - 0 Passed
Final Map Approval for Tract No. 20755
Development Services Director Desatnik provided an overview of the Final Map for Tract No. 20755. On April 8, 2025, the Planning Commission approved Tentative Tract Map No. 20755 which proposed the subdivision of approximately 3.12 acres for mixed-use development purposes at the northeast corner of Eureka Street and Stuart Avenue. The subdivider has satisfied all conditions of approval of the tentative map. Staff and the City's contracted land surveyor have reviewed the final map and determined that it substantially conforms to the approved tentative map. The subdivision improvement agreement (to be recorded with the final map) and associated financial security (based on the construction cost estimated by the project engineer), ensure that off-site improvements will be installed during project development. As public comment, Steve Rogers insisted that the City's processing of the Final Map was in violation of the California Subdivision Map Act, and he recommended the Council deny approval. City Attorney Garcia clarified that approval of the Tentative Tract Map by the Planning Commission and approval of the Final Map for Tract No. 20755 by the City Council complies with code and is perfectly legal.

On motion of Council Member Eddie Tejeda, seconded by Council Member Paul Barich, the City Council unanimously determined, by roll call vote, that approval of the final map for Tract No. 20755 is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15268(b)(3); and approved the final map for Tract No. 20755, for mixed-use development purposes at the northeast corner of Eureka Street and Stuart Avenue.

Vote: 5 - 0 Passed
First Amendment Developing Standard ADU Design Plans
Development Services Director Desatnik offered highlights of a Professional Services Agreement, originally approved in June 2025, with RRM Design Group for the preparation of standard construction design plans for Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs). The First Amendment will provide staff additional time to work with the consultant and prepare the draft architectural design plans, as well as refine and finalize the architectural plans over the next few months. This will extend the timeline beyond the original expiration date of December 31, 2025, and staff is requesting an extension of six months to June 30, 2026. As public comment, Steve Rogers thought this was a waste of money and a one-size-fits-all approach with standard plans may not be feasible as each ADU project is unique and has distinct site conditions.

Ordinance No. 2995 Various City Commissions and Boards
Assistant City Manager McConnell explained that Ordinance No. 2995 and Resolution No. 8742 were prepared as a result of the recommendations made by the Ad Hoc Committee of Mayor Pro Tem Shaw and Council Member Barich. Ordinance No. 2995 amends Chapters

2.18, 2.32, 2.38, 2.48, 2.50, 2.64, and 2.66 of the Redlands Municipal Code to establish quarterly meetings, and reduce the memberships of, the City of Redlands Airport Advisory Board, Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission, Municipal Utilities/Public Works Commission, Traffic and Parking Commission, Cultural Arts Commission, Citrus Preservation Commission and Human Relations Commission.

Resolution No. 8742 establishes a quarterly meeting schedule for the Airport Advisory Board, the Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission, the Municipal Utilities/Public Works Commission, the Street Tree Commission, the Traffic and Parking Commission, the Cultural Arts Commission, the Citrus Preservation Commission and the Human Relations Commission.

As public comment, Steve Rogers was opposed to reducing the number of commission members, as this would limit public input and participation. Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Evan Sanford supported the move to limit commission members to five, but was opposed to reducing meeting frequency. Commissions play a vital role, and he was concerned this action could create bottlenecks and delay critical safety projects. Bruce Laycook argued that opportunities for civic engagement were already limited, and reducing the number of commissioners would only further restrict their ability to participate. He added this could possibly discourage engagement and lead to less diversity amongst commissions. Andy Hoder was concerned that less frequent meetings might result in lengthy agendas that become difficult to manage effectively within the allotted meeting time.

Council Members discussed and considered a variety of topics including term CC_December 2, 2025

limits, parameters for calling special meetings when needed, staggering terms as a way to retain experience and knowledge, and the commitment to evaluate the effectiveness of these changes in a year. As a part of the Ad Hoc Committee, Mayor Pro Tem Shaw said the goal was to try to balance efficiency while maintaining public engagement and being respectful of people's time. Council Member Barich added that as part of the fact-finding mission, they reached out for input from every commission chair and considered past commissioners as well. It was agreed to revisit this item in a year and reevaluate the effectiveness of the changes.

On motion of Mayor Pro Tempore Marc Shaw, seconded by Council Member Paul Barich, the City Council unanimously introduced, by roll call vote, Ordinance No. 2995, amending Chapters 2.18, 2.32, 2.38, 2.48, 2.50, 2.64, and 2.66 of the Redland's Municipal Code to establish quarterly meetings and reduce the memberships of the City of Redlands Airport Advisory Board, Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission, Municipal Utilities/Public Works Commission, Traffic and Parking Commission, Cultural Arts Commission, Citrus Preservation Commission and Human Relations Commission; and approved Resolution No. 8742, as amended, establishing a quarterly meeting schedule for the Airport Advisory Board, the Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission, the Municipal Utilities/Public Works Commission, the Street Tree Commission, the Traffic and Parking Commission, the Cultural Arts Commission, the Citrus Preservation Commission and the Human Relations Commission.

Fire Department Purchase of Replacement Brush Engine and Water Tender Fire Chief Sessler detailed the need for an authorization to release $31,773 from the Fire Equipment Fund Reserve for the purchase of a replacement Brush Engine from South Coast Fire Equipment and the Water Tender from Fire Apparatus Solutions for a total amount of $1,331,773. There is a critical need to replace one Brush Engine and one Water Tender. These apparatuses are essential for wildland and structure fire suppression, as well as for various emergency responses throughout the city and surrounding areas. The Brush Engine is designed for off-road capability and rapid response to vegetation fires, while the Water Tender provides a vital water supply in areas without hydrants or with limited water infrastructure.

Both units have exceeded their recommended service life due to age and heavy use. Replacing them will ensure the department continues to provide reliable, safe, and efficient fire suppression and emergency response services.

On motion of Council Member Eddie Tejeda, seconded by Mayor Pro Tempore Marc Shaw, the City Council unanimously authorized, by roll call vote, the release of $31,773 from the Fund Reserve for Fire Equipment for the purchase of a replacement Brush Engine and Water Tender; approved an additional appropriation of the same amount of $31,773; approved the purchase of the replacement Brush Engine from South Coast Fire Equipment and the Water Tender from Fire Apparatus Solutions for a total amount of $1,331,773; and authorized the City Manager, or designee, to execute the necessary purchase agreements in accordance with City purchasing guidelines.

Reasons for desiring to serve - relevant experience and qualifications:

Ever since I was young, Redlands' 1?arks have been central to my life; from running races in Prospect Park trails to enjoylng community fairs at Smiley Library. My firsthand experiences have shown me the care and collaboration required to protect our public spaces. I would love to serve as a Student Commissioner to give back to the parks that have shaped my childhood.

While I am new to formal park management I bring the skills I have accumulated over years of serving Redlands in different ways, As a former member of the Boys and Glrls Club of Redlands, I returned in my freshman year to launch its chess program, creating educational opportunities for younger members. At my alma mater, Cope Middle School, I lead Math Club as a tutor. I also contributed to a local state senator's campaign in San Bernardino, gaining firsthand insight Into civic leaders�ip and community action. In recognition of my dedication to service, I was honored with the President's Volilnteer Service Gold Medal in 10th grade. As Vice President of the Environmental Club at RHS, I have led student initiatives to clean under served trails and raise sustaJnabilit{ awareness. Serving as debate captain and a member of the Principal's Student Advisory Council at Redlands High Schoo has given me experience in fundraising, event planning, and most importantly, understanding how research informs policy decisions. My published research on water and air quality management, conducted in colla15oration with a George Mason University professor has deepened my appreciation for implementing evidence-based research in policy making. �ach of these experiences has prepared me to contribute meaningfully to Recflands' Parks and Recreation Comm1ssIon.

Redlands Regular Meeting of 12/16/25 121 of 1055
City Council Meeting H. 8.

DATE: 12/16/2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBJECT: Approve the side letter agreements with the Teamsters Local 1932, the Redlands Association of Mid-Management Employees, the Redlands Association of Management Employees, the Redlands Civilian Safety Employees Association, the Redlands Police Officers Association and the Redlands Association of Safety Management Employees to modify the respective articles within each Memorandum of Understanding relating to longevity pay to ensure compliance with CalPERS reporting requirements; and approve Salary Resolution No. 8744 and updated Salary Schedules (Human Resources/Risk Management Director Meteau)
MOTION(S):

If the City Council determines that staff’s recommendation is appropriate, the following motion is provided:

I move to approve the side letter agreements with Teamsters Local 1932, the Redlands Association of Mid-Management Employees, the Redlands Association of Management Employees, the Redlands Civilian Safety Employees Association, the Redlands Police Officers Association and the Redlands Association of Safety Management Employees to modify the respective articles within each Memorandum of Understanding relating to longevity pay to ensure compliance with CalPERS reporting requirements.

1. I move to approve Salary Resolution No. 8744 including updated Salary Schedules.

2. RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council approve the side letter agreements with Teamsters Local 1932, the Redlands Association of Mid-Management Employees, the Redlands Association of Management Employees, the Redlands Civilian Safety Employees Association, the Redlands Police Officers Association and the Redlands Association of Safety Management Employees to modify the Redlands Regular Meeting of 12/16/25 122 of 1055
respective articles within each Memorandum of Understanding relating to longevity pay to ensure compliance with CalPERS reporting requirements; and approve Salary Resolution No. 8744 including updated Salary Schedules.

DISCUSSION:

The City is committed to maintaining compliance with all CalPERS regulations to ensure accurate reporting of employee compensation. As part of this effort, longevity pay will be separated from base salary and paid as a separate longevity incentive. This modification aligns with CalPERS’ guidelines, which require longevity pay to be reported separately as special compensation rather than included as part of base wages.

To facilitate this transition, the City engaged in discussions with labor representatives, ensuring that all affected employees understand the change and its implications. As a result of these discussions, side letters have been signed by labor groups acknowledging the adjustment and confirming that there will be no negative impact on employees’ total compensation. While longevity pay will be classified and reported differently, employees will continue to receive the full amount they are entitled to, maintaining their overall earnings. Longevity pay in the form of an incentive will appear on the employee paychecks received on February 25, 2026.

In addition to the side letters with each bargaining unit, a new Salary Resolution must be adopted to remove the longevity steps from the base salary schedules.

Salary Resolution No. 8744 along with the updated salary schedules have been prepared for this purpose.

In regard to the updated salary schedules, part-time hourly rates have been adjusted where needed due to the minimum wage increase effective January 1, 2026. Further, since the City is currently recruiting for the new Municipal Utilities and Engineering Director and will soon be recruiting for the new Development Services Director, staff is also requesting to adjust the salary range table for Department Directors in order to be more competitive with the market. The adjusted salary ranges are included in the attached salary schedules. These adjustments will assist the City in attracting high-caliber candidates to apply for our open director positions. It should be noted that adjusting the director salary range table does not automatically increase the salary for current directors.

Progression in the salary range is based on employee performance and is at the discretion of the City Manager.

DATE: 12/16/2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBJECT: Adopt Resolution No. 8741 - Annual Report of Development Impact Fees for the Year Ended June 30, 2025, and Adoption of Findings (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 to adopt Resolution No. 8741.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends the City Council adopt Resolution No. 8741, approving the Annual Report of Development Impact Fees for the year ended June 30, 2025, and the findings contained therein.

DISCUSSION:

State law (Government Code Section 66006) requires each local agency that imposes development impact fees to follow certain accounting procedures for tracking fee revenue received and to prepare an annual report providing specific information about those fees. These requirements are part of the law commonly referred to as AB 1600 or the Mitigation Fee Act (Act). The annual report must be reviewed by the City Council at a regularly scheduled public meeting no less than 15 days after the information is made available to the public. Notice of the time and place of the meeting must be mailed at least 15 days prior to the meeting to any interested party who files a written request with the City for such a mailed notice. In compliance with the Act, a copy of this report was made available at the City Clerk's Office and on the City website on December 1, 2025.

The Act also requires that in the fifth fiscal year following the first receipt of a development impact fee and at least every five years thereafter, the local agency Redlands Regular Meeting of 12/16/25 168 of 1055
must make certain findings with respect to any portion of the fee remaining unexpended, whether committed or uncommitted. The City has opted to make the required five-year findings for development impact fees every year when the annual report is presented. This increases efficiency and public transparency.

These findings must 1) identify the purpose for which the fee is to be used, 2) demonstrate a reasonable relationship between the fee and the purpose for which it is charged, 3) identify all sources and amounts of funding anticipated to be utilized to complete incomplete improvements, and 4) provide the approximate dates on which the anticipated funding is expected to be received.

By adopting the attached resolution and acceptance of the accompanying Development Impact Fee Report, the City satisfies the annual reporting and compliance requirements set forth in Government Code Sections 66000–66008.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF REDLANDS APPROVING THE CITY’S ANNUAL DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE REPORT AND

MAKING CERTAIN FINDINGS WITH RESPECT THERETO
WHEREAS, Government Code Section 66006 requires local agencies that impose development impact fees upon development projects to deposit such fees in separate capital facilities accounts to avoid commingling of such fees with other revenues and funds of the local agency, and to expend those fees only for the purposes collected; and WHEREAS, for each separate capital facility account or fund established, the local agency shall, within 180 days after the last day of each fiscal year, make available to the public the following information for the fiscal year:

A. A brief description of the fee;
B. The amount of the fee;
C. The beginning and ending fund balance of the account; D. The amount of the fees collected and the interest earned; E. The identification of the improvements on which the fees were expended, including the percentage of the cost of the public improvements funded with fees; F. The identification of an approximate date by which the construction of the public improvement will commence if the local agency determines that sufficient funds have been collected to complete financing on an incomplete public improvement, and the public improvement remains incomplete;
a. An identification of each public improvement identified in a previous report and whether construction began on the approximate date noted in the previous report. b. For a project identified for which construction did not commence by the approximate date provided in the previous report, the reason for the delay and a revised approximate date that the local agency will commence construction.

G. A description of each interfund transfer or loan, and the date of such loan, the repayment date, and the interest rate;
H. The amount of refunds of fees, if any made pursuant to Government Code Section 66001; and
WHEREAS, Government Code Section 66001 requires local agencies, for the fifth fiscal year following the first deposit of fees into an account or fund, and every five years thereafter, to make certain findings with respect to that portion of the account or fund remaining unexpended, whether committed or uncommitted; and
WHEREAS, the annual report reflecting the balance in each capital improvement fee account, the fee, interest, income, and the amount of expenditure upon public improvements, and the amount of refunds made for the fiscal year, if any, has been available for public review as required by law;

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF REDLANDS AS FOLLOWS:

Redlands Regular Meeting of 12/16/25 171 of 1055
Section1. The City Council hereby approves the Annual Report of Development Impact Fees for the year ended June 30, 2025.

Section 2. The City Council finds and determines that with respect to development impact fees remaining unexpended or uncommitted in their respective accounts, for five (5) or more years after deposit of the fee, as follows:

A. New development in the City will continue to generate additional demands on public facilities throughout the City and will contribute to the impact on existing public facilities.

B. There is reasonable relationship between the fees’ uses and the types of development for which the fees are charged, as these reasonable relationships are described in more detail in the City’s Development Impact Fee studies and improvement master plans.

C. There is a reasonable relationship between the need for the public facility and the type of development project upon which the fee is imposed.

D. The fees expected to be generated by new development will not exceed the costs for construction of the public facilities identified in the City’s improvement master plans and as set forth in the Developer Impact Fee Study.

E. That the annual report identifies all sources and amounts of funding anticipated to complete financing for any incomplete improvements.

F. That the annual report designates, wherever possible, the approximate dates on which fees are expected to be deposited for the financing of any incomplete improvements.

ADOPTED, SIGNED AND APPROVED this 16th day of December, 2025. ____________________________

Notes: 1. Although the Public Facilities Development Fund is accounted for as a special revenue fund, each fee must be accounted for separately (Government Code Section 66001 et seq, commonly known as "AB 1600").

2. The fees collected for Fire Facilities, Library and City Yard were previously committed toward one-half of the annual debt service requirements of the 2003 Lease Revenue Refunding Certificates of Participation which refunded the 1993 Refunding of the 1986/87 Projects Certificates of Participation. Annual debt service on this one-half portion was charged to each of the three fees based upon an allocated share of the original proceeds used for acquisition and construction activities. The General Fund was responsible for the other half of the total annual debt service requirements. The debt was fully defeased in FY 2018-19. Loan amounts from the General Fund, Water and Storm Drain Funds remain outstanding.

3. When fees collected for these three categories of public facilities were not sufficient to cover their share of the annual debt service, the General Fund made loans to each category as necessary. These loans are governed by Resolution No. 7354, the City's interfund loan policy.

4. In FY 2010-11, for one-time only, Council authorized loans from other specific funds to cover, as necessary, the public facilities share of debt service.

These loans, with interest at the annual LAIF rate, are to be repaid in proportion to the loan balances, before repayment to the General Fund.

Actual loans required were as follows: General Fund,$300,753; Open Space, $130,000: Park/Open Space Dev, $130,000; Storm Drain, $100,000; Water, $150.000.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF REDLANDS

ESTABLISHING DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES FOR NEW

DEVELOPMENT WITH RESPECT TO STORM DRAIN, SEWER, WATER,

SOLID WASTE, ACQUISITION OF WATER STOCK AND WATER RIGHTS,

OPEN SPACE AND PARKS, TRANSPORTATION, AND PUBLIC
FACILITIES, AND RESCINDING RESOLUTION NO. 7951
WHEREAS, Chapters 3. 32, 3. 44, 3. 48, 3. 54, 3. 56, 3. 60, 3. 70, and 13. 40 of the Redlands Municipal Code establish, respectively, Open Space and Parks, Sewer Capital Improvement, Water Capital Improvement, Transportation Improvements, Storm Drain Facilities, Public Facilities Fees, Solid Waste Improvement, and the Acquisition of Water Stock And Water Rights to implement the City' s General Plan and Master Plans to ensure that public facilities improvements which meet City standards are available concurrent with the need caused for such facilities by new development in the City; and
WHEREAS, new residential and non-residential development within the City will generate additional residents and employees who will require additional public facilities. Land for these facilities will have to be acquired and public facilities and equipment will have to be expanded, constructed or purchased to meet this increased demand; and WHEREAS, the Development Impact Fee Nexus Study (" Fee Study") has been prepared in response to the projected direct and cumulated effect of future development. Each new development will contribute to the need for new public facilities. Without future development many of the new public facilities on the Needs Lists would not be necessary as the existing facilities are adequate for the City' s present population. In instances where facilities would be built regardless of new development, the costs of such facilities have been allocated to new and existing development based on their respective level of benefit; and
WHEREAS, the proposed impact fee will be charged to all new/future development, irrespective of location, in the City. Even future " in fill" development projects contribute to impacts on public facilities because they are an interactive component of a much greater universe of development located throughout the City. First, the property owners and/ or the tenants associated with any new development in the City can be expected to place additional demands on City facilities funded by the fee. Second, these property owners and tenants are dependent on and, in fact, may not have chosen to utilize their development, except for residential, retail, employment and recreational opportunities located nearby on other existing and future development. Third, the availability of residents, employees, and customers throughout the City has a growth inducing impact without which some of the " in -fill" development would not occur. As a result, all development projects in the City contribute to the cumulative impacts of development; and WHEREAS, the fee will be used for the acquisition, installation, and construction ofthe public facilities identified on the Needs Lists, included in Section IV ofthe Fee Study and other appropriate costs to mitigate the direct and cumulative impacts of new development in the City. The fee will provide a source of revenue to the City to allow for the acquisition, installation, and construction of public facilities, which in turn will maintain the current standard of service, preserve the quality of 1 I:\Ordinances\Nos 2900-2999 in Word\2968 Establishing Development Impact Fees for New Development (Amended).docx- msv2 Redlands Regular Meeting of 12/16/25 183 of 1055
life in City and protect the health, safety, and welfare of the existing and future residents, visitors, and employees; and
WHEREAS, it is the projected direct and cumulative effect of future development that has prompted the preparation of the Fee Study. Each development will contribute to the need for new public facilities. Without future development, the City would have no need to construct many of the public facilities on the Needs Lists. For all other facilities, the costs have been allocated to both existing and new development based on their level of benefit. Even future " infill" development projects, which may be adjacent to existing facilities, further burden existing public facilities.

Consequently, all new development within the City, irrespective of location, contributes to the direct and cumulative impacts of development on public facilities and creates the need for new facilities to accommodate growth; and
WHEREAS, the fees will be expended for the acquisition, installation, and construction ofthe public facilities identified on the Needs Lists and other authorized uses, as that is the purpose for which the Fee is collected. As previously stated, all new development creates either a direct impact on public facilities or contributes to the cumulative impact on public facilities. Moreover, this impact is generally equalized among all types of development because it is the increased demands for public facilities created by the future residents and employees that create the impact upon existing facilities; and
WHEREAS, all new development within the City, irrespective of location, contributes to the direct and cumulative impacts of development on public facilities and creates the need for new facilities to accommodate growth. Without future development, many of the facilities on the Needs Lists would not be necessary. For certain other facilities, the costs have been allocated to both existing and new development based on their level ofbenefit; and WHEREAS, it is now the desire of the City Council of the City of Redlands (" this City Council") to establish development impact fees for new development; and WHEREAS, on May 2, 2024, David Taussig and Associates, Inc. dba DTA, prepared a study in accordance with Assembly Bill (AB) 1600 and Government Code Section 66000, et. seq. for the City recommending the amounts of development impact fees which may be imposed for new development; and
WHEREAS, the development impact fee provisions ofthe Redlands Municipal Code provide that the specific amounts offees shall be established by this City Council; WHEREAS, the term " Residential Property" includes Accessory Dwelling Unit above 750 sq.ft., Single Family, Multi -Family, and Transit Oriented; and WHEREAS, by purposes of efficiency, it is further the desire ofthis City Council to establish the development impact fees for new development in this ordinance.

December 16, 2025
The Honorable Mayor, Members of the City Council, and Residents of Redlands Redlands, CA 92373
Subject: Annual Report of Development Impact Fees
Dear Mayor, Members of the City Council, and Residents of Redlands, Pursuant to the Mitigation Fee Act (the “Act”) (Government Code section 66000 et seq.), and specifically section 66006 of the Act, the following report on the receipt, use, and retention of development impact fees for Fiscal Year 2024-2025 is hereby presented to the City Council for review and approval. Development impact fees are charged by local governments to defray all or a portion of the cost of public facilities related to new development being constructed within the City. The legal requirements for enactment of a Development Impact Fee program are set forth in Government Code §§ 66000- 66025 (the "Mitigation Fee Act"), the bulk of which was adopted as 1987’s Assembly Bill 1600 and thus commonly referred to as “AB 1600 requirements”.

In the City of Redlands, development impact fees may be collected at the time of issuance of a certificate of occupancy or date of final inspection, as permitted by Government Code section 66000 et seq., for the purpose of mitigating the impacts caused by new development on the City’s infrastructure. Fees are used to finance the acquisition, construction, and improvement of public facilities related to new development projects. A separate funding structure has been established to account for the impact of new development on each of the following types of public facilities: Open Space, Parks, Public Facilities (including police, fire, community center, library, and general government facilities), Transportation, Water, Non-Potable Water, Solid Waste, and Sewer.

From July 1, 2024, through December 31, 2024, development impact fees were imposed pursuant to Resolution No. 7951, adopted by the City Council on April 2, 2019, which rescinded Resolution No. 7907. Effective January 1, 2025, impact fee amounts were established by Ordinance No. 2968, adopted by the City Council on July 16, 2024, thereby rescinding Resolution No. 7951. The schedule of current fee amounts, as set forth in Ordinance No. 2968, is attached hereto.

Pursuant to Government Code Section 66006, local agencies are required to prepare and make available annual and five-year reports summarizing the status of development impact fees, including revenues, interest income, and expenditures by fund category. This report was filed with the City Clerk’s Office and the A.K. Smiley Public Library and made available for public review on December 1, 2025.

CITY OF REDLANDS – ANNUAL REPORT OF DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES (227) Open Space Fund – Redlands Municipal Code Chapter 3.32 establishes an Open Space and Park Development Impact Fee. Twenty-five percent (25%) of this fee is deposited into an Open Space Fund to be used solely for the purpose of acquisition, improvement, preservation, and expansion of open space areas within the City in accordance with the provisions of the recreation, open space, and conservation element of the City’s General Plan. The General plan specifies the policy to preserve open space land in order to protect the visual character of the City, provide for public outdoor recreation, conserve natural resources, support groundwater recharge, and otherwise preserve open space areas.

In the General Plan, specific open space areas in the Planning Area include the “Emerald Necklace” concept, San Timoteo Canyon, the Santa Ana Wash, and Live Oak Canyon. California Govt. Code 65301(a) requires general plan planning areas to include all land within a city or county’s limits, and territory outside its boundaries “which in its judgment bears relation to its planning.” Redlands’ Planning Area encompasses 46 square miles, including all land within the Redlands city limits, the area within the City’s Sphere of Influence (SOI), and an unincorporated island known as the “Donut Hole” that is located in the northwestern portion of the city. Fee amounts are set by Ordinance No. 2968.

The following table shows the balances, receipts, and expenditures of the Open Space Fund for the current and last five fiscal years:

Receipts include fees of $145,810 and investment income of $123,092.

Expenditures include $2,916 in administrative charges.

Over the last ten years, monies collected in the Open Space Fund, along with grant monies, have been spent on the restoration and acquisition of open space within San Timoteo Canyon, including the San Timoteo Creek Habitat Enhancement Project, the Thompson Property, the Allen property, the Mistretta property and most recently, the Hudson property.

The current cash balance exceeds the cumulative fee collection over the past five years by $1,014,815, when adjusting for the $785,000 deposit of land sale proceeds as detailed above1. As a result, the City must make “findings” in accordance with the requirements of Government Code Section 66006.

CITY OF REDLANDS – ANNUAL REPORT OF DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES Findings:

Fees deposited into an Open Space Fund are to be used solely for the purpose of acquisition, improvement, preservation, and expansion of open space areas within the City in accordance with the provisions of the recreation, open space, and conservation element of the City’s General Plan. Because development impact fee revenue fluctuates and is difficult to forecast, there is no estimate for anticipated funding sources or amounts to complete the projects listed below. Monies collected into the Open Space Fund, including the existing excess cash, are expected to be used in accordance with the General Plan for the following projects over the next 5 years:

1. Open Space/Citrus Acquisition – the City is committed to retaining and improving the maximum feasible amount of open space property for recreational opportunities, conservation, agricultural uses, and resource protection. In terms of agricultural open space, one of the City’s goals is to increase the City’s acreage of citrus groves to an approximate target of 200 acres. As of FY 2025, the city owns 184 acres.

2. Emerald Necklace – the Emerald Necklace is a conceptual framework for a series of green open spaces and park areas surrounding the city approximately 45 miles in length, joined together with a special scenic road and trail system. The City has identified gaps in the Emerald Necklace and is working collaboratively to prioritize land acquisition or other resource preservation strategies in those areas. Several sites and properties have been purchased under this framework. Additionally, as suitable properties become available for acquisition, the City will evaluate opportunities to purchase the same.

3. Scenic Routes and Trails – The City has several project priorities: develop a linear parkway/recreational corridor centered along San Timoteo Creek and extending throughout the canyon, coordinate with San Bernardino County and the Santa Ana River Conservancy on implementing the objectives of the Santa Ana River Trail Parkway and Open Space Plan, and to complete the Emerald Necklace system of scenic routes and trails, including the Zanja Trail, Santa Ana River Trail, San Timoteo Trail, and other trails linking parks, regional trails, and open space areas.

No refunds of fees are required, and none have been made during Fiscal Year 2024-2025. (250) Park Development Fund – Park development impact fees are levied for the purpose of acquiring and developing land for parks. The fees are established per the Redlands Municipal Code as noted above for Open Space. Fee amounts are set by Ordinance No. 2968. Seventy-five percent (75%) of the Open Space and Parks fees are deposited into the Park Development Fund. The General Plan sets the policy on park development as one aimed towards creating and maintaining a high-quality, diversified park system that enhances Redlands’ unique attributes. The General Plan prescribes the parkland standard of 5 acres per 1,000 residents.

Disbursements totaled $114,396, including a payment of $66,888 in principal, $33,172 in interest, and $3,263 in fiscal agent fees associated with the State I-Bank loan for the Sports Park. In addition to this loan repayment for the Sports Park, there was also $8,973 in administrative charges.

No refunds of fees, because of the cumulative cash balance in the Park Development fund, are required, and none have been made during Fiscal Year 2024-2025.
(251) Public Facilities Development Fund - Public Facilities Development Fees have been established per Redlands Municipal Code Chapter 3.60 with the purpose and intent of implementing the Redlands General Plan to ensure that public facilities and related improvements which satisfy City standards are sufficient and keep pace with needs that arise as new development occurs within the City. Fee amounts are set by Ordinance No. 2968. Fees are collected from applicants for development projects to construct, improve, and maintain public facilities as identified in the City’s Development Impact Fee Justification Study, dated May 2, 2024.

Police Facilities
The purpose of this fee is to provide a revenue source that will provide funds to acquire vehicles, equipment, and facilities that will mitigate the impacts of new residential and non-residential development on the City’s Police resources. A complete listing of proposed facilities is contained within the City’s Development Impact Fee Justification Study, dated May 2, 2024.

CITY OF REDLANDS – ANNUAL REPORT OF DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES The current cash balance exceeds the cumulative fee collection over the past five years by $533,609.

As a result, the City must make a “finding” in accordance with the requirements of Government Code Section 66006.

Findings:

Fees deposited into the Public Facilities Fund – Police Facilities category are to be used solely for costs related to police facilities, vehicles, and equipment. The largest cost, by far, will be the development of a new safety hall facility. The current buildings that house police staff are outdated and in a state of significant disrepair, no longer meeting the functional or safety standards required for effective operations. As a result, plans have been underway to conceptualize and fund a new Safety Hall. In spring 2022, the City acquired a property at 1625 West Redlands Boulevard to retrofit into a new safety hall facility. The total project to convert this building into a new police facility is estimated to cost somewhere between $80 and $90 million dollars, including construction, commissioning, and furnishing. Impact fees will be used to help fund the retrofit project once it commences and their expenditure will reflect a portion of new development’s share in the cost of the new facility. The City anticipates drawing down the balance of cash in this fee category in total once capital expenditures start on this project. The project is currently in its design phase, with plans being compiled into a bid package and potential bid award slated for the second quarter of calendar year 2026. Based on this timeline, the estimated date for completion of the project is summer 2028.

No refunds are required, and none have been made during Fiscal Year 2024-2025.

Fire Facilities
The purpose of this fee is to establish a revenue source that will provide funds to construct various Fire facilities and acquire equipment and vehicles that will mitigate the impacts of new residential and nonresidential development on the City’s Fire facilities. A complete listing of proposed facilities is contained within the City’s Development Impact Fee Justification Study, dated May 2, 2024.

The following table shows the balances, receipts, and expenditures, including loan activity, of the Fire Facilities Fee for the current and last five fiscal years:
2019-2020 2020-2021 2021-2022 2022-2023 2023-2024 2024-2025 Beg.

CITY OF REDLANDS – ANNUAL REPORT OF DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES No refunds are required, and none have been made during Fiscal Year 2024-2025.

Library Facilities
The library facility impact fees were established to provide a revenue source that will generate funds to acquire various library collection items and remodel/refurbish existing facilities that will mitigate the impacts of new residential development on the City’s Library facilities. Planned uses from the proceeds of these fees include the expansion of library collection items as well as the remodeling and refurbishment of existing facilities. Collection items include, but are not limited to, books, periodicals, newspapers, DVDs, e-books, etc.

Previously, impact fees collected for Library Facilities were also used to make contributions towards the annual debt service of the 2003 Lease Revenue Refunding Certificates of Participation (COP). The 2003 COPs refunded prior COPs that were used to finance major improvements to the Library’s facilities. The past fees collected were earmarked to pay debt service on these bonds, which matured in Fiscal Year 2017-2018 and are now designated to repay outstanding loans from the General Fund, as well as loans that were provided by the Storm Drain Construction, and Water funds. Those loans were incurred during those fiscal years when library impact fee revenues were insufficient to meet the debt service requirements. These loans have either been forgiven or repaid in full as of the close of Fiscal Year 2024.

The following table shows the balances, receipts, and expenditures, including loan activity, of the Library Facilities Fee for the current and last five fiscal years:

General Government Facilities
Impact fees for General Government Facilities were first established with the completion of the impact fee study performed in Fiscal Year 2006-2007 and implemented in August 2007, and the most recent fee justification study is the City’s Development Impact Fee Justification Study dated May 2, 2024.

The purpose of this fee is to establish a revenue source that will provide funds to purchase and install additional IT hardware and construct a government center/safety hall building and public parking Redlands Regular Meeting of 12/16/25 196 of 1055

Community Center Facilities
Community Center Facilities impact fees were established in Fiscal Year 2014-2015 and are collected using a replacement cost per capita for the City’s existing community centers as the basis for the fees.

The fees charged to future residential development are set at a level needed to maintain the existing level of service as the City grows. The purpose of these fees is to collect the proportion of new development’s share in the cost of adding community center space while maintaining the current ratio of community center asset value to population. The most recent fee justification study is the City’s Development Impact Fee Justification Study, dated May 2, 2024, which contains details of proposed community center facilities.

The following table shows the balances, receipts, and expenditures of the Community Center Facilities Fee for the current and last five fiscal years:

CITY OF REDLANDS – ANNUAL REPORT OF DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES The current cash balance exceeds the cumulative fee collection over the past five years by $68,749. As a result, the City must make a “finding” in accordance with the requirements of Government Code Section 66006.

Findings:

Fees deposited into the Public Facilities Fund – Community Center Facilities category are to be used solely for the purpose of costs related to adding community center space to maintain the current ratio of community center asset value to population.

The largest cost, by far, will involve the construction of a new community center. The cost estimate for community center facilities, inclusive of tennis/pickleball courts and multi-use fields/courts was $2,000,000. Timelines for completing this project are difficult to estimate due mainly to the significant costs and the unpredictability of the timing of adequate impact fee revenue.

No refunds are required, and none have been made during Fiscal Year 2024-2025.

Transportation Facilities Fees
During Fiscal Year 2024-2025, Resolution No. 7951 and Ordinance No. 2968 prescribed methodologies and amounts of Transportation fees. Impact fees in this category are intended to fund transportation improvements, including the following components: interchange improvements, railroad crossing improvements, improvements to regional arterials, and improvements to local streets. The first three components are intended to satisfy the requirement, pursuant to Measure I (2010-2041) and the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority (SBCTA) Congestion Management Plan, that the City assess new development for its fair share of the cost of those improvements. The local street component is based on data provided by the City that represents the full cost of local street improvement projects needed entirely to serve future development. Allocations are established based on a weighted average for each improvement type based on cost. The City’s Development Impact Fee Study, dated May 2, 2024, estimated transportation improvement costs in each component category and allocated them according to the tables below.

Ordinance No. 2968, DIF Study May 2024
Fund 252 - Regional Arterial 34%
Fund 252 - RR Crossings 1%
Fund 252 - Local Streets 3%
Fund 253 - Signals 2%
Fund 254 - Interchanges 60%

Impact fee revenue in this category consists of $297,857 in fees and $239,054 in investment income.

Disbursements consist of $905 for mapping, coordination, utility & as-built research, as it relates to the management, procurement support, and construction support for the California Street and Redlands Boulevard Widening Project. Another $71,666 was also spent on preliminary & final engineering, environmental technical studies, and record drawings for the same project. Lastly, the fund was charged $5,957 in administrative charges.

The current cash balance exceeds the cumulative fee collection over the past five years by $3,342,631.

As a result, the City must make “findings” in accordance with the requirements of Government Code Section 66006.

Findings:

Monies collected into the Arterial Street Construction Fund, including the existing excess cash, are based on a detailed breakdown of citywide transportation projects needed to mitigate the impacts of new development through the year 2035. These projects have been approved by the City Council for construction under this program, as a part of Ordinance No. 2968 and the Development Impact Fee Study dated May 2, 2024. The project list includes improvements to regional arterials with a total estimated cost allocated to new development of $26,697,495.

In February 2016, the City entered into a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to commence the alternative Interstate 10 – Alabama Street Interchange project. The project is designed to improve Interstate 10 at the Alabama Street Interchange between Orange Tree Lane and Industrial Park Avenue, with on and off-ramp widening, the addition of turning lanes, new pavement, and striping.

SBCTA has completed the construction of the project, which began in January 2022 and finished in early 2023. The last expenditure was made in Fiscal Year 2024-2025, to close out all accounting of costs associated with this project.

The following table shows the balances, receipts, and expenditures of the Freeway Interchange Fund for the current and last five fiscal years:

CITY OF REDLANDS – ANNUAL REPORT OF DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES During Fiscal Year 2024-2025, the current cash balance exceeds the cumulative fee collection over the past five years by $1,171,219. As a result, the City must make “findings” in accordance with the requirements of Government Code Section 66006.

Findings:

Monies collected into the Freeway Interchanges Fund, including the existing excess cash, are based on a detailed breakdown of citywide transportation projects needed to mitigate the impacts of new development through the year 2035. The interchange projects are part of the Riverside-San Bernardino Area Comprehensive Transportation Plan Model (CTP Model) by SCAG and San Bernardino County Transportation Authority Nexus Study. These projects are identified by these plans as being needed solely or partially to mitigate the impacts of new development.

Additionally, projects have been approved by the City Council for construction under this program, as a part of Ordinance No. 2968 and the Development Impact Fee Study dated May 2, 2024. The project list includes four (4) interchange projects, whose total costs amount to $153,813,163. Cost sharing with the state and SBCTA is anticipated in order for the projects to be financially feasible.

Below is a partial listing from that study.
 I-10 at Mountain View:
o 2023 Estimated Cost - $66,631,014
o New Development Fair Share – 29.63% ($19,742,455)
 I-10 at Wabash
o 2023 Estimated Cost - $52,338,075
o New Development Fair Share – 29.63% ($15,507,525)
 I-10 at Live Oak
o 2023 Estimated Cost - $24,376,459
o New Development Fair Share – 29.63% ($7,222,630)
 I-10 at 5th Street
o 2023 Estimated Cost - $10,467,615
o New Development Fair Share – 29.63% ($3,101,505)
Because development impact fee revenue fluctuates and is difficult to forecast, there is no estimate for the date on which the project will be completed. At this time, no other sources of revenue are projected, but it is anticipated that these projects may be included in future transportation improvement projects brought forth by SBCTA.

No refunds of fees are required, and none have been made during Fiscal Year 2024-2025.

CITY OF REDLANDS – ANNUAL REPORT OF DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES (405) Storm Drain Fund – New development generates additional stormwater runoff by increasing the amount of land that is not penetrable to precipitation. Consequently, new development generates the need for, and benefits from, expanded storm drain facilities. Storm Drain Development Fees have been established per Redlands Municipal Code Chapter 3.56. This chapter establishes the methods of financing the construction of the required storm drain facilities. Fees are established by Ordinance No. 2968.

The following table shows the balances, receipts, and expenditures of the Storm Drain Fund for the current and last five fiscal years:
2019-2020 2020-2021 2021-2022 2022-2023 2023-2024 2024-2025 Beg.

Disbursements consist of $3,400 in administrative costs.

During Fiscal Year 2024-2025, the current cash balance exceeds the cumulative fee collection over the past five years by $2,148,929. As a result, the City must make “findings” in accordance with the requirements of Government Code Section 66006.

Findings:

New development generates additional stormwater runoff by increasing the amount of land that is not penetrable to precipitation. Consequently, new development generates the need for, and benefits from, expanded storm drain facilities. Fees are to be used on the costs associated with the construction of regional and local facilities, based on the amount of estimated costs allocable to new development and new service population.

In 2014, the City adopted a Drainage Master Plan. The outlines scope and priority of various projects.

Timelines for completing these projects are difficult to estimate due mainly to each project’s significant costs and the unpredictability of the timing of adequate impact fee revenue. Additionally, projects have been approved by the City Council for construction under this program, as a part of Ordinance No. 2968 and the Development Impact Fee Study dated May 2, 2024.

It is clear all new development in the City will impact the City’s current ability to provide drainage systems and flood protection. The discharge capacity of the existing drainage systems is determined by design and in many cases is at design capacity for the appropriate storm event. When capacity is exceeded due to the runoff impacts of new development, the level of flood protection afforded to existing development will be reduced. In other words, if development continues without new Redlands Regular Meeting of 12/16/25 204 of 1055

CITY OF REDLANDS – ANNUAL REPORT OF DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES improvements to the drainage systems, the existing facilities would be unable to provide the level of flood protection consistent with City standards.

1. Reservoir Canyon – The Reservoir Canyon Channel is the second largest watershed area tributary to downtown. The total project cost is estimated at $16,506,000 allocated to New Development.

2. Downtown Watershed – The Downtown watershed consists of the local drainage systems in the downtown area. The total project cost is estimated at $10,206,000 allocated to New Development.

3. Mill Creek Drainage Area – This project addresses the Mission Zanja watershed (the largest watershed tributary) and consists of the construction of a retention basin and is one of two major facilities needed to protect the City during a 100-year storm event. When completed, the facility will retain up to 825 acre-feet of water. The total project cost is estimated at $3,740,000 to New Development.

Because development impact fee revenue fluctuates and is difficult to forecast, there is no estimate for the date on which the project will be completed. At this time, no other sources of revenue are projected.

No refunds of fees are required, and none have been made during Fiscal Year 2024-2025. (508) Water Source Acquisition Fund - The Water Source Acquisition Fund is established per Redlands Municipal Code Chapter 13.40.020 to implement the Redlands General Plan and finance the acquisition of approved water stock and water rights to assist the City in maintaining an adequate supply of water to meet the needs of development requiring water service from the City. Water Source Acquisition charges are established per Section 13.40.040 of the Redlands Municipal Code. Fee amounts are set by Ordinance No. 2968.

The City is reexamining the intent and amount of this development impact fee. The City originally intended this fee to be used for purchasing water shares and water rights from individual shareholders and mutual water companies. However, as California’s water rights system has become increasingly complex, acquiring “water rights” is now primarily a state-level action and has effectively ceased at the local level. As such, the City is currently restructuring this impact fee category and its corresponding fee amount to support the pre-purchase of State Water Project water to be recharged into the groundwater basin for future use. A nexus study is currently being developed that will analyze new development’s share of such costs and the City will adjust the fee accordingly.

The following table shows the balances, receipts, and expenditures of the Water Source Acquisition Fund for the current and last five fiscal years:

There were no disbursements for fiscal year 2024-2025.

During Fiscal Year 2024-2025, the current cash balance exceeds the cumulative fee collection over the past five years by $1,073,222. As a result, the City must make “findings” in accordance with the requirements of Government Code Section 66006.

Findings:

The Water Source Acquisition Fund is intended to provide funds for the purchase of approved water stocks and rights, as set forth in the Redlands Municipal Code. As the City expands its housing stock and non-residential development, it is critical that the City plan on acquiring supplies sufficient, not just to serve development needs, but also to meet its annual groundwater recharge/replenishment requirements, which are affected by new development.

Most recently, this fund was used to repay the Water Fund (501) for an intra-fund loan. The intra-fund loan from the Water Fund (501) was for the purpose of purchasing 2,000 shares of Bear Valley Mutual Water Company Stock for $300,000, which was originally authorized as part of an agreement approved by the City Council on March 1, 2011. The cost to purchase water stock in Fund 508 is allocated in proportion to the benefit for new and existing users.

To date, the City’s 2022 Water Systems Master Plan has identified that, as service areas and demands grow, the City may need an additional five to six (5-6) million gallons daily of supply capacity to meet the peak hour demand in 2045. Plans to develop a strategy for water rights purchase is in development and the City anticipates adopting a plan of action during fiscal year 2026 - 2027. To this end, the following sources for water rights and stocks have been identified.  West Redlands Water Company
 Redlands Water Company
 Crafton Water Company
 Redlands Heights Water Company
 Lugonia Water Company
 South Mountain Water Company
 Bear Valley Mutual Water Company

Disbursements include $54,053 expended on engineering, hydraulic modeling and supply & demand analysis related to the Recycled Water Distribution Expansion project. This project should be completed in late calendar year 2026.

The current cash balance exceeds the cumulative fee collection over the past five years by $897,813.

As a result, the City must make “findings” in accordance with the requirements of Government Code Section 66006.

Findings:

Monies collected into the Nonpotable Capital Improvements Fund, including the existing excess cash, are expected to be used for several projects that will enhance and expand the nonpotable water distribution system pressure zones. Specifically, major projects under evaluation include:

1. Construction of a nonpotable reservoir, booster station and pipeline needed to operate Pressure Zones 1350 and 1570. These two pressure zones are the City’s two lowest and, as such, are particularly sensitive to increases in demand from new growth and development. Cost estimates for the project total $4.8 million.

Because development impact fee revenue fluctuates and is difficult to forecast, there is no estimate for the date on which the project will be completed. At this time, no other sources of revenue are projected.

No refunds of fees are required, and none have been made during Fiscal Year 2024-2025.

City Council Meeting H. 10.

DATE: 12/16/2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBJECT: Approve the First Amendment to the Agreement with KNN Public Finance, LLC to extend the term of the agreement to October 2027 to allow for continued financial advisory services (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 approval of the First Amendment to the Agreement with KNN Public Finance, LLC.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that City Council approve the First Amendment to the Agreement with KNN Public Finance, LLC to extend the term of the agreement by eighteen (18) months, update the firm’s fee schedule, and incorporate fixed transaction fees applicable to the City’s upcoming debt issuance.

DISCUSSION:

The City of Redlands entered into a Professional Services Agreement with KNN Public Finance, LLC in April 2021 to provide municipal and financial advisory services related to the City’s capital financing, debt management, and related municipal financing activities.

The current agreement is set to expire in April 2026. KNN has been instrumental in assisting the City with various debt planning and financial advisory efforts, including the preliminary structuring and financing strategy for the planned issuance of Certificates of Participation (COPs) to fund the construction of two key public safety facilities:

Redlands Regular Meeting of 12/16/25 211 of 1055
Safety Hall (new Police Department headquarters); and
Fire Station No. 264 (construction of a permanent facility).

The combined financing for these projects is expected to range between $70 million and $105 million.

In order to ensure continuity of service through completion of the anticipated debt issuance, staff recommends extending KNN’s agreement by eighteen (18) months, from April 2026 through October 2027. This extension will allow sufficient time to complete the following:

Debt structuring, Council workshops, and public meetings; Transaction documentation and closing process;
Post-issuance reporting and continuing disclosure; and
Procurement of a successor financial advisory services agreement, whether with KNN or through a new competitive selection process.

The amendment will also update KNN’s compensation structure. The firm’s current hourly rate and fixed transaction fee schedule (set forth in Exhibit “B” of the agreement) will be replaced with a revised fee schedule, which will apply from the effective date of the amendment through the end of the extended term.

The revised fee schedule reflects approximately a 20% increase over the rates established in the first year of the agreement (April 2021). The original agreement provided for annual rate adjustments of about three percent (3%), which would equate to roughly a 15% cumulative increase through 2025. The proposed adjustment therefore represents a modest escalation of about five percent (5%) beyond the compounded rate of the prior schedule, consistent with market trends for professional financial advisory services over the same period.

The amendment will also add reference to the fixed transaction fee under the agreement’s Compensation Article (Section 5.1), clarifying that all services related to the upcoming financing transaction will be covered under these fixed fees.

All other terms and conditions of the existing agreement will remain unchanged.

ALTERNATIVES:

The City Council may decline to approve the amendment and direct staff to immediately initiate a new procurement process for municipal advisory services.

However, doing so could delay the planned financing schedule and create discontinuity in advisory services during the critical pre-issuance and closing stages of the COP transaction.

Redlands Regular Meeting of 12/16/25 233 of 1055
City Council Meeting H. 11.

DATE: 12/16/2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBJECT: Approve the First Amendment to the Agreement with NewEdge Services, LLC, to increase the total compensation by an amount not to exceed $154,900, to implement system improvements to the City's permitting software, Cityworks (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 to approve the First Amendment to the Agreement with NewEdge Services, LLC. to increase the total compensation by an amount not to exceed $154,900, to implement system improvements identified in the Cityworks Business Process Review.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that Council approve the First Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with NewEdge Services, LLC, to increase the total compensation by an amount not to exceed $154,900, to implement the system configuration, integration and workflow improvements identified in the Cityworks Business Process Review, representing the implementation phase of the solutions recommended under the initial engagement.

DISCUSSION:

On May 20, 2025, the City Council approved a sole source Professional Services Agreement with NewEdge Services, LLC to provide integration and consulting services between the City’s permitting software (Cityworks PLL) and financial software (Tyler Munis ERP). As noted in that staff report, the agreement included an option to extend the scope for future related services upon completion of NewEdge’s initial assessment. Staff anticipated that Redlands Regular Meeting of 12/16/25 234 of 1055
additional professional services would be required once NewEdge completed a more in-depth review of the City’s business processes and technical configurations across departments.

Since the Council’s approval, NewEdge has made significant progress on the initial phase of work, including a comprehensive Business Process Review of Cityworks AMS and PLL environments. That review, conducted in September 2025, identified specific configuration changes and workflow improvements needed to achieve the City’s long-term objectives: enabling online permit payments, strengthening integrations with ProjectDox (the City's electronic plan review software) and Tyler Munis ERP, and improving workflow efficiency and data integrity across departments.

Based on the results of that assessment, staff now recommends amending the agreement with NewEdge Services to include additional professional services necessary to implement the prioritized items identified in the Business Process Review. These new tasks include:

Reconfiguration of fees and application data to align with the City’s adopted fee schedule and eliminating unsupported database triggers; Upgrading and testing of production environments for the latest version of Cityworks (23.x), including migration of Fire Inspections into the unified Cityworks site;
Integration planning for Tyler Munis ERP and ProjectDox, including discovery and testing phases for a payment gateway and review of workflow connectivity; and
Workflow and notification improvements across permitting, engineering and fire processes to streamline online payments and enhance customer communication.

Together, these services will directly support the City’s objective of enabling end-to-end digital permitting with online payment capability, a streamlined customer experience and improved internal coordination between Development Services, Fire, and Finance.

Staff finds the proposed pricing from NewEdge Services, LLC to be reasonable and appropriate for the level of work proposed. The City has already realized measurable value through the Business Process Review and the quality of technical direction, documentation and recommendations received to date.

Comparable proposals from other firms for developing a Cityworks improvement or modernization plan alone—not including any implementation—have equaled or exceeded the total cost of this amendment, which covers actual configuration and system implementation. The pricing for this amendment is based on the same hourly rates established in the original agreement approved earlier this year.

The total cost for the additional scope of services is based on time-and-materials, following the firm’s hourly rate schedule, and will be funded Redlands Regular Meeting of 12/16/25 235 of 1055
through existing appropriations in the IT Division's budget.

ALTERNATIVES:

The Council may choose to modify, reject or table this item.

STRATEGIC PLAN:

Services provided under this amendment will facilitate Strategic Goal A-2 (Economic Vitality): Implement an electronic plan review and permitting process, in that electronic plan review requires online payment options through Cityworks.

Amount: $154,900
Discussion:

Approval of this amendment increases the not-to-exceed amount of the agreement by $154,900, for a revised total contract amount not to exceed $214,200. The amendment establishes a maximum authorization only; actual expenditures will be billed on a time-and-materials basis and are expected to be less than the not-to-exceed amount. Funding is available in the adopted IT Division budget.

SCOPE OF SERVICES
PHASE 1:

Item Description

1.0 Cityworks Application Business Process Review
The NewEdge team understands the City of Redlands is looking for a qualified, experienced Trimble Business Partner to evaluate the current Cityworks environment.

The NewEdge team understands the client desires a consultant that will work closely with personnel to understand the present and future goals for the use of the Cityworks software and recommend how to remedy the deficiencies in the current system and provide a roadmap of the Cityworks software. This health check does not include the implementation of new divisions or departments.

Tasks / Deliverables for the NewEdge Health Check include the following:
• Kickoff Meeting
• NewEdge Virtual Process Review Workshop
o Review of the current Cityworks database configuration and user interface, o Review of the GIS data and how it is configured to work with the Cityworks software
o Review of business processes and workflows within the divisions currently using Cityworks
o Review of the Cityworks database to ensure those processes are configured correctly.
• Assessment report that will include recommendations for database configuration changes, workflow processes, field deployment, training and reporting needs and will include cost estimates for these tasks.
• Delivery of assessment report - NewEdge staff will meet with each division interviewed in the workshops and provide an overview of the assessment report.

NewEdge has met with the City of Redlands staff and understands there are key functions that they would like NewEdge to take into account while performing the review. These include:
• Primary Target of preparing Cityworks PLL to accept on-line payments via Invoice Cloud. NewEdge will work with the City and Invoice Cloud to understand how the integration is being configured and implemented.
• There are currently 2 instances of Cityworks configured at the City, one for Fire (AMS for inspections) and one for Development Services (PLL). City staff would like to look at consolidating these into 1 instance.
• Issues with ProjectDox and the webhooks used to integrate ProjectDox with Cityworks From the kickoff meeting to delivery of the Assessment Report, the project should take approximately 6 weeks months. The NewEdge project manager will generate a more detailed schedule upon receiving a notice to proceed.

Redlands Regular Meeting of 12/16/25 252 of 1055

1.1 Upgrade of the Cityworks Software to Version 23.x
NewEdge staff will perform an upgrade of the client’s Cityworks software to Version 23.x.

NewEdge understands the City is currently running two instances of the Cityworks software that will be migrated into one instance under this task. Fire uses Cityworks Server AMS for Fire Inspections and while Development Services uses Cityworks Server PLL for permitting. Both instances are in separate application environments and different versions of the software. The goal of this task will be to combine the two instances into one Cityworks database environment and upgrade to the current version of Cityworks 23.x. All users will remain in the Office Companion environment. This project will consist of the following tasks:
• Kickoff Meeting via conference call
• Upgrade of Cityworks Server AMS in the current environment. • Upgrade of the Cityworks test PLL environment
• Migration of the Cityworks Server AMS data into the PLL environment in test • Upgrade of the Cityworks production environment.

NewEdge staff will remote desktop or VPN into the Cityworks test environment to upgrade the Cityworks software to the new version. Client staff will have 30 days for testing the upgraded application.

Once thoroughly tested in the test environment, NewEdge staff will upgrade the production environment. The upgrade will need to occur off-hours and preferably over a weekend so as not to disrupt the use of Cityworks. NewEdge staff will be available the following day of the upgrade to support any issues.

Third party integrations, such as Citizen Engagement, CCTV or custom integrations with financial or human resources software, will be thoroughly tested by the client.

For all tasks IT and Database staff should be available to address questions and assist with network/communication issues if they should arise.

Cityworks 23 is a new platform for the Cityworks software. Due to differences in the application frameworks, Office and Respond, an upgrade to Cityworks 23 will require users to run two different sites. Clients using only Office, now called Office Companion, or Respond will see no differences in their use of Cityworks. For clients using Office and Respond, users will have to log in and out of each application to access the interface.

Running Crystal Reports can only occur in the Office Companion environment. Respond only users with Crystal Templates will need to either migrate those reports to the report writer in Respond, ActiveReports, or switch between the two interfaces to run Crystal reports.

Redlands Regular Meeting of 12/16/25 253 of 1055

2.0 Munis Integration for Payments Received through Cityworks PLL Identified Integrations between Cityworks and Third-Party Software • Munis and Cityworks Server PLL Integration
Fees received through PLL would be automatically pushed to the appropriate GL accounts in the Munis financial software.

Costs identified in this section are for the Discovery and Requirements phase only. This is an upfront cost that will be billed upon receiving the notice to proceed. NewEdge will then start working with both the client and the third party software to identify integration methods (database to database, API, etc) and start documenting the client requirements for the integration.

See section below for more details on the NewEdge methodology, schedule and costs for the Third Party Integration Services.

Goal / Purpose of Integrations:

The goal of NewEdge integration services between Cityworks and third-party applications is to eliminate the manual or paper processes that occur when a trigger or work process occurs in one application and requires action to be taken in another application. Example being money/fees collected through the PLL software are either delivered to finance in a report or csv file. This report and/or the csv file must be reviewed and then the information is either entered manually or imported from the csv file.

Workflow:

The general workflow for such communication between software systems is that data is entered into one system then printed, emailed or a phone call occurs to initiate the work. Work performed is recorded in Cityworks fees either received through the PLL Public Access module (InvoiceCloud) or entered into PLL and then manually documented on printouts delivered to finance.

Integrations relieve the paper delivery/pick-up and the dual entry by departmental or division personnel. The workflow for most integrations with a 3rd party software and Cityworks can be streamlined to the following:

Deliverables for Each Integration
 Discovery / Requirements Phase
 Web Service to run Cityworks APIs
 Windows Service
 Tables in the Cityworks database (if required)
 Trigger on Cityworks database table (would be used for instantaneous push/pull of data)
 Program for cleanup should issues occur (can also run as a scheduled task) The Discovery / Requirements Phase will be an opportunity to evaluate the methodology for the requested integration(s). This is the time that NewEdge staff will work with the 3rd party software to determine:
• Does the 3rd party have established APIs or will they be developing them during the project
• Can the 3rd party provide documentation on their APIs • If no APIs – what will be the integration methodology such as database to database triggers or export/import operations.
• Does the 3rd party software have developers available to NewEdge staff and what will that cost be to the client
Redlands Regular Meeting of 12/16/25 254 of 1055
Once the methodology of the integration is established, NewEdge staff will conduct a requirement meeting with the client to review the data that will be pushed and pulled between the two systems.

Schedule:

Upon receiving a notice to proceed, NewEdge staff will work with client staff to contact the 3rd party software vendor and begin discussions on integration methodology. Once this is complete, NewEdge can then schedule the requirements meeting with client staff.

Once requirements are signed off by the client, the project duration will be approximately 4 months with the following milestones:
• Installation of the integration on the client’s test environment / client testing • Installation of the integration on the client’s production environment. Could be contingent upon the go-live of the 3rd party software
• Final acceptance
Schedule and availability of 3rd party resources could extend the timeline.

PHASE 2:

1.0 Reconfigure Fees and Application Data
Currently, the City has fees configured using database triggers and lookup tables that are not supported by Trimble support. Fees must be reassessed and configured to use the built-in capabilities within the Cityworks PLL platform. Consultant understands the city has passed a new fee schedule that will be incorporated in place of the current database triggers. The fees are based on application data provided by applicant and controlled by City staff. To achieve a streamlined fee process the application information (also known as case data) must also be reconfigured. It is assumed that all fees using the database trigger will be migrated first to facilitate an upgrade.

After this trigger is disabled, the remaining fees and application data for Permitting will be addressed and configured where appropriate. Engineering, Fire and Planning to follow in order of importance to the City. The case data should be structured for the public to complete instead of office staff.

Implementation Options

1. Consultant trains City staff how to configure fees– 4 Hours (1 hour training with 3 hours of support)

2. Consultant completes the configurations – 40 hours
a. Consultant will need to conduct interviews with the staff currently using Cityworks to complete the configurations (6 hours of meetings, 34 hours of configurations) b. Fee Triggers that are using the helper tables will be attended to first ([Azteca]. [AAABuildingFeesNewTotals], [dbo].[AAABuildingFeesDeptPercentage], [dbo].[AAABuildingFeesPCvInspPercent], and [Azteca].[AAABuildingFees).

1.0a Upgrade Cityworks test to 23.x (included - no additional cost) Redlands Regular Meeting of 12/16/25 255 of 1055
There are improvements within the Cityworks 23.x release. The main tasks would include Consultant completing the Cityworks site upgrade and performing basic functionality testing. The City would follow to test the current configurations and reports still work as expected. The City IT Department are actively working on deploying new servers for the installation. Once servers are organized, Consultant will complete the installation.

Implementation

1. Consultant completes upgrade on Cityworks test – included with current scope

2. City conducts testing – 16 hours

2.0 ProjectDox
ProjectDox workflows have already been established. During the interviews, Consultant determined the issue could reside with some of the webhooks API calls and task configurations between the two systems. A deeper understanding of the current configuration and potentially small configuration changes in either software may be required. Consultant will set up a meeting with Avolve staff to discuss options and current workflows to address the errors.

It is understood that the City would like to implement ProjectDox for all Cityworks templates that require reviews. Once the current permitting process is resolved, discussions surrounding planning, engineering and fire can begin.

Implementation

1. Consultant schedules meeting(s) with Avolve and updates API calls – 2 hours a. This does not include any changes to current workflows. Tweaks can be addressed with support contract

2. The City conducts testing for permitting – 4 hours

3. Consultant leads discussions with other divisions for additional ProjectDox integrations. – 5 hours
a. Depending on workflows, an hour estimate will be provided after. In addition, this will require a change order from Avolve.

2.0.a Move Fire Inspections to Main Cityworks Site (included – no additional cost) The City has two Cityworks sites, one for Fire Inspections and one for all other activities.

Consultant will move the Fire Inspection configurations and all related data from the Fire Inspection database to the core Cityworks database. Once thoroughly tested, the data will be moved, and Fire will begin daily activities in one site rather than two.

Implementation

1. Consultant creates migration scripts in Cityworks Test environment. – included with current scope

2. The City Fire tests migration – 4 hours

3. Consultant moves to production – included with current scope Redlands Regular Meeting of 12/16/25 256 of 1055

3.0 Permitting, Fire, Engineering Workflow Reconfiguration With so many moving parts surrounding the end goal of getting the City taking payments online in Cityworks 23.x, many workflow changes need to be addressed. To prepare for the ProjectDox integration, the review process may need to be adjusted to keep communication between the two software platforms running smoothly. Furthermore, with online payments, applicants and contractors can be notified that fees have been assessed instead of the fees being exposed during the intake process. This will require each template to be configured to change the status of the permits during the review to ask for fees to be paid. Each template can also be configured to automate the status to change when payments are made in full. Cityworks can also provide feedback to the office staff that the permit cannot move to the next status without payments in full. There was a consistent theme during the interviews with all the departments and divisions that staff were frequently manually adjusting the workflows. Cityworks tasks should be set to fit the rules of the process rather than manually adjusting. In addition, the divisions are completing different processes for in-office payments and invoicing. Some groups are essentially tricking Cityworks to print invoices and receipts. Consultant recommends consolidating these processes with report changes.

Implementation

1. Consultant conducts interviews with permitting staff to identify ways to streamline workflows, specifically surrounding reviews and fees for online payments. – 8 hours.

1. Consultant will create basic inboxes for Cityworks Office users. The City Cityworks Administrators will be able to share the inboxes to users as needed. – 8 hours

4.0 GIS Improvements
Currently production Cityworks is pointed to old ArcServer REST endpoints. Consultant recommends using the production GIS rest endpoint for the OneStop map. This may require some configuration of the asset groups and asset alias. Consultant also recommends updating Cityworks configurations to include the accurate geocoder that includes units.

Implementation

1. Consultant configures the new service and completes testing on assets with the City Cityworks Administration staff. – 2 hours

4.0.a Single Sign On
The City utilizes ESRI Enterprise Portal. A general discussion topic during our interviews was moving the City to a Single Sign On (SSO) using the portal with organizations and groups to control permissions. It is understood that the City Uses Microsoft Entra ID and will be able to have the portal configured to accept the logins sometime in late 2025.

Implementation

1. It is assumed that the City will handle the Entra ID set up within ArcGIS Portal.

Consultant is available to assist using support hours as needed.

Redlands Regular Meeting of 12/16/25 257 of 1055

2. Cityworks GIS services will need to be updated to utilize the OAuth option with the new Portal rather than being open to the public. Consultant assumes permissions will be in place to make the transition before upgrading Cityworks Production utilizing the new SSO method.

5.0 Utilize Equipment, Labor, and Materials for cost tracking Cityworks AMS is an asset management system assigning cost to field assets during work. The City elected to not implement this important feature during the original configurations. It is Consultant’s suggestion to begin configuring and implementing these items to provide better insight on the cost of operations within the City. There are some decisions that will need to be vetted by upper management and an in-depth exploration of how the warehouse could be managed.

Implementation

1. Consultant to conduct meetings to determine the number of needed storerooms and provide insight on best management practices for Equipment, Labor, and Materials. – 4 hours

2. Consultant configures warehouses – 4 – 50 hours depending on requirements.

3. The City will need to do a full inventory counts – time depends on quantity of widgets

4. Training staff – completed by Consultant or the City. This can be rolled into other training tasks to be completed all at once

6.0 AMS Custom Fields
The interviews with staff using AMS gleamed very little information is being collected. Not only is cost or assets being attached, but the current Service Request to Work Order process is not the best practice. Data is being tracked with spreadsheets and on paper. Identifying what data needs to be collected for each work order can allow for easy access for reporting. Further interviews with the divisions are required to optimize Cityworks for condition assessment and budgeting.

Implementation

1. Division interviews to determine metrics for each work activity – 8 hours

2. Configuration of metrics and dashboards – 8 hours

7.0 Cityworks Permissions
The City has implemented some security groups but has not enforced policies surrounding who can access features within the platform. Consultant does not recommend users being tied down to a finite level of detail as it creates issues as they maneuver through the platform, but some features, such as payments (deleting and waiving fees) and GIS data editing are imperative for auditing purposes.

Implementation

1. Consultant conducts virtual meetings to discuss permission requirements and Redlands Regular Meeting of 12/16/25 258 of 1055

1. completes configurations. – 12 hours

8.0 811 Integration
In the past, the City had utilized DigTest as an 811 integration. There are a couple of Trimble Business Partners that Consultant recommends to automate 811 requests to Cityworks. If the city prefers, Consultant can investigate level of effort to complete an integration to avoid relying on a business partner that would be hosted by a 3rd party.

Implementation

1. Option 1 - Consultant introduces the City and Business Partner(s)

2. Option 2 - Consultant completes a discovery phase for California 811 integration.

Typically, Consultant charges $8,000 for all discovery phases and will provide a quote for the integration. If the integration can be completed within the discovery PO without further cost, Consultant will program the integration with no additional cost.

9.0 Permitting Notifications
Currently notifications are not being sent out to applicants or contractors for any PLL permits or cases. Consultant recommends determining what types of notifications should be sent and what information to include. These can be simple, or complex depending on task type or results and can entail a considerable amount of time.

Implementation

1. Consultant conducts meetings with divisions to determine if notification could help communication between the City and applicants/contractors. Depending on complexity, Consultant could train Admin staff to complete set up of the notifications or configure them as necessary. – 2 – 40 hours depending on number and difficulty

10.0 Public Access
The City has 9 applications on the Public Portal for submission. Once fees, application data, payments and ProjectDox items have been addressed, Consultant recommends moving additional templates to the public portal. There are many options within the 23.x release that are not within the 15.x version.

The City can optionally deploy one division or template at a time or do all of them together. The more applications that are available online, the less paper manual entry on office staff. There could be workflow considerations that need to be addressed for each template, such as when the fees are due and appear within the portal for payment. Depending on how streamlined the City elects to implement with ProjectDox reviews, this could be addressed beforehand. There is one help document about Public Access that may need a couple of screenshots updated, but if guided access is implemented for each permit type, it may not be necessary. Inspection scheduling can be explored during this task.

Implementation
Redlands Regular Meeting of 12/16/25 259 of 1055

1. Considerations depend on if all workflow items have been addressed with ProjectDox.

Assuming they are complete, configurations for what items appear, guided access for each template will be addressed.
a. Option 1 – Consultant completes all items related to moving a template to Public Access – 1 hour per template
b. Option 2 – Consultant trains staff to complete the configuration – 2 hour training c. Option 3 – If inspection scheduling is desired. Additional configuration will be required - 8 hours

11.0 Cityworks Workflow for Planning and Zoning
During interviews with Planning and Zoning, it was determined that this division is only using Cityworks for project numbers and status changes. Consultant recommends additional meetings with this division to determine if this is how they want to continue using Cityworks. There was interest in utilizing the Public Portal for applications and payments, therefore Consultant would recommend using Cityworks to track timelines and meetings in addition to status. This information is also used by Code Enforcement and more detail could be helpful for both departments.

Implementation

1. Consultant conducts discovery of options and the return on investment to complete this task – 4 hours. An hourly estimate will be provided after interviews.

12.0 Style Profiles
Upgrading Cityworks allows for customizing the user interface to exclude items not needed for daily use. Style is used to customize the Cityworks data entry screens to make it easier to read and/or understand. A Style profile can be configured per function, division, job title or user individually depending on need. Consultant recommends developing profiles to streamline data entry and only display necessary information. There are also options to force users to enter data in the correct fields and require them for certain actions. For instance, when a work order is set to 'field complete', Cityworks can verify data fields are completed and give the user an error or warning. A possible configuration is to require a GIS asset on certain Work Order templates or making the custom fields required to close.

Implementation

1. Option – conduct meetings with each division to determine requirements and train City staff to configure profiles– 8 hours

2. Option – Consultant completes meeting and configurations – 16 hours

13.0 Training
In Cityworks 23.x, the ‘Office Companion’ is still available to be used. However, Consultant and Trimble recommends all users move to Respond. All new features and functionality are only within the Respond platform. This requires all users in the City to be trained on the new user Redlands Regular Meeting of 12/16/25 260 of 1055
interface. The intent is to conduct training after all new workflows and configurations have been accomplished from tasks above.

Implementation

1. Consultant conducts onsite user training – 1 week (4 days for users, 1 day for Admin)

14.0 Crystal Reports to ActiveReports
Cityworks 23.x no longer uses Crystal Reports. All reports must be converted to ActiveReports.

Implementation

1. Consultant trains City staff to use ActiveReports and the city creates new reports. 8 hours

2. Consultant recreates all Crystal Reports to ActiveReports. Estimated 2 hours per report for print templates (highest priority). General reports within the Reports menu will be evaluated per report for an hourly estimate.

B.12 Upgrade Cityworks Production (included – no additional cost) The overall goal of this project is to upgrade Cityworks to 23.x. While this could be included in the immediate actions, there are some factors to consider that would impact the future of Cityworks in the City. Office mode is still available in 23.x but is a separate website to Cityworks with other functions (Respond, Admin, Style, Storeroom, OpX). To take advantage of all the features in 23.x Consultant recommends keeping your current Cityworks site as the new app site and creating a new Office Companion site. This requires anyone who wants to use the Office platform will change to a new website URL. All others will use the existing upgraded site URL. Since office is not available here, all users would need to be trained in Respond and any Crystal Reports moved to Active Reports. Respond dashboards will also be implemented. This is why this task is within intermediate due to the extreme amount of time and staff training that needs to take place.

Implementation

1. Consultant completes upgrade of Cityworks and Public Access and new install of Office Companion. – included within current scope of work. This would occur directly after training.

City Council Meeting H. 12.

DATE: 12/16/2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBJECT: Adopt Resolution No. 8740 establishing a contractor list pursuant to the California Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting Act, and determine that approval of the Resolution is exempt from environmental review pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the State's guidelines implementing the California Environmental Quality Act (Interim Municipal Utilities and Engineering Director Casey) MOTION(S):

If City Council determines the staff recommendation is appropriate, the following motions are provided:

I move that the City Council determine that approval of Resolution No. 8740 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 that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 8740, establishing a contractor list pursuant to the California Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting Act.

2. RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that City Council determine that adoption of Resolution No. 8740 is exempt from environmental review pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the State's guidelines implementing the California Environmental Quality Act, and adopt Resolution No. 8740.

Redlands Regular Meeting of 12/16/25 266 of 1055
DISCUSSION:

The California Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting Act (Act), enacted in 1983, allows alternative bidding procedures when an agency performs public works projects by contract in accordance with the cost accounting procedures outlined in the Cost Accounting Policies and Procedures Manual (Manual) of the California Uniform Cost Accounting Commission. California law provides public agencies with relief from the formal bid process for smaller projects, provided the agency establishes specific administrative procedures necessary to comply with the Act. These procedures require the City to develop and annually update a qualified contractor list, as well as adopt an Ordinance that provides alternative bidding procedures.

On July 1, 2025, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2984, amending the City’s Purchasing Ordinance to align with recent changes in state law and modern procurement practices. The update incorporates the revised public project bid thresholds established under the Act, as amended by Assembly Bill 2192 (2024). The Act now provides that for public works projects of $75,000 or less, the City may use its own employees or negotiate contract terms. For public works projects valued at $220,000 or less, the City may issue a contract using informal bid procedures, typically through a notice inviting informal bids, issued to listed contractors for the category of work to be bid on. Using these procedures, public agencies can complete projects in a more timely manner as a result of the streamlined award process and reduce the paperwork related to advertising and report filing.

The City is a participating agency under the Act, and the alternative bidding provisions of the Act are codified in Chapter 2.16 of the Redlands Municipal Code. As part of the Act, staff is required to develop and maintain a contractor list under Public Contract Code section 22034 (a)(1). Each calendar year, the City is required to provide a new or updated list of qualified contractors. In October 2025, a written notice inviting contractors to be included in the City's contractor list was emailed to all construction trade journals designated under Section 22036 of the Public Contract Code. The notice invited all licensed contractors to submit their firm's name and other required information for inclusion on the City's list of qualified bidders. The attached contractor list has been updated for the calendar year 2026 to include contractors who submitted the required information. Additionally, a contractor may request to be added to the City's contractor list at any time by providing the required information.

Approval of Resolution No. 8740 establishes the contractor list, which is exempt from environmental review pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the State's guidelines implementing the California Environmental Quality Act because approval of the resolution will not result in any direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.

SUBJECT: Approve a Memorandum of Understanding with Redlands Chamber Foundation, recommended by the Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission, authorizing enhancements within the parcel described as APN 0170-142-12-0000 and determination that approval of the agreement is exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) guidelines pursuant to Section 15061 (Facilities and Community Services Department Director Crocker)
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 the approval of the Memorandum of Understanding with Redlands Chamber Foundation is exempt from California Environmental Quality Act guidelines pursuant to Section 15061; and

1. I move to approve a Memorandum of Understanding with Redlands Chamber Foundation for the implementation of enhancements within the parcel described as APN 0170-142-12-0000.

2. RECOMMENDATION:

A. Commission Recommendation
At their July 10, 2025 meeting, the Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission recommended City Council approve this project and direct staff to work with Leadership Redlands to identify the space requested to establish a native plant and pollinator garden.

B. Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the Memorandum of Understanding with Redlands Chamber Foundation to install enhancements on city property on the parcel described as APN 0170-142-12-0000.

Redlands Regular Meeting of 12/16/25 273 of 1055
DISCUSSION:

The City has recently acquired the parcel located at the northwest corner of Division Street and East Park Avenue, more particularly described as APN 0170-142-12-0000. This parcel is just west of Sylvan Park and is currently a vacant undeveloped parcel.

At the July 10th meeting of the Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission, the Redlands Chamber Foundation, Leadership Redlands presented its proposed plan to enhance a portion of a city park with native plantings, which would beautify the surrounding neighborhoods and attract native pollinators. The Parks and Recreation Commission unanimously voted in favor of the proposed native garden. Initially, the project was proposed to be located at Centennial Park along Riverview. However, after an analysis by staff, it was determined that the Sylvan Park location would be more conducive to a successful project.

In collaboration with the Redlands Chamber Foundation, staff developed the attached Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for the Redlands Chamber Foundation project. The MOU holds Leadership Redlands responsible for the landscaping and maintenance of the parcel. Within this partnership, the City will provide a water source for the area to sustain the native plantings. In addition, the MOU allows either party to cancel within 30 days' notice. The following is a list of improvements that Redlands Leadership has proposed for the enhancement of the parcel.

1. Base Plan (Confirmed Enhancements)
Planting Zone:
5,000 sq. ft. native/wildflower planting area using drought-tolerant, pollinator-supportive plants;
Designed for year-round seasonal blooms with clustered and mixed plantings; and
Manzanita, Toyon, Buckwheat, Cleveland Sage, Milkweed, Fuchsia, Penstemon, etc.

Irrigation:

A drip irrigation system will be installed to connect to the city water lines; and
Zoned for low/moderate water species.

Educational Signage:

Plant ID plaques with bloom time & pollinator connections; and Signage explaining the garden and its significance.

2. Potential Future Enhancements (Fundraising Dependent) Redlands Regular Meeting of 12/16/25 274 of 1055

2. Potential Future Enhancements (Fundraising Dependent) Priority:

Central Gathering Space:

Decomposed granite (DG) gathering area or pathway;
Serves as a public space where visitors can view and appreciate the garden;
ADA accessible; and
Seating with 2 to 3 benches at shaded or central points along the DG path for visitors to sit and appreciate the plantings.

Donor recognition engraved pavers.

Art Installations (fundraising dependent):

Native pollinator-themed sculpture (butterfly, hummingbird, bee); and Murals on nearby surfaces (if available). Donor recognition engraved pavers.

3. Placement Overview (Parcel Layout)
Perimeter (Border Planting): native shrubs, wildflowers, grasses, trees spaced by type for seasonal coverage and pollinator habitat; Center (DG Path & Seating): light bulb-shaped DG open space with possible benches (fundraising dependent) placed at rest points; and Potential Art Nodes: identified along walking path or corners of the parcel (fundraising dependent).

Approval of the MOU with Redlands Chamber Foundation authorizing enhancements within the parcel described as APN 0170-142-12-0000 for native landscaping is exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) guidelines pursuant to Section 15061.

ALTERNATIVES:

The City Council may deny the approval of the Memorandum of Understanding with Redlands Chamber Foundation, and provide staff with alternate direction.

DISCUSSION:

On January 1, 2026, the State of California Building Standards Commission (CBSC) will adopt the 2024 Edition of the International Fire Code whereby creating the 2025 Edition of the California Code. Adoption of the 2025 California Fire Code and the 2024 International Fire Code will continue to provide regulations and requirements that pertain specifically to the climatic, topographical and geological conditions for the City of Redlands. These requirements are needed in order to continue to provide and maintain fire and life safety requirements consistent with ordinances previously in place within the City. The most considerable change from previous fire code adoptions is the proposed ordinance for additional fire safety evaluations and protection features for buildings when they include new internal parking of electric or alternate fuel vehicles, as well as battery-based energy storage systems. Additionally, the California Building Standards Commission has transferred the majority of wildfire safety regulations to the newly created 2025 California Wildland-Urban Interface Code, which will be a separate Ordinance adoption for Municipal Code Chapter

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF REDLANDS AMENDING CHAPTER 15.20

OF THE REDLANDS MUNICIPAL CODE AND ADOPTING BY REFERENCE THE 2025 EDITION OF THE CALIFORNIA FIRE CODE (CALIFORNIA CODE OF REGULATIONS, TITLE 24, PART 9) WITH NECESSARY LOCAL

AMENDMENTS
WHEREAS, Health and Safety Code Section 17958 and Government Code Section 50022 empower the City to adopt by reference the California Building Standards Code, including the California Fire Code; and
WHEREAS, Health and Safety Code Section 17958.5 authorizes the City to make amendments to the California Fire Code on the basis of local climatic, geological or topographical conditions; and
WHEREAS, Health and Safety Code Section 17958.7 requires that before making any modifications or changes pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 17958.5, the City Council of the City shall make an express finding of local necessity that such modifications or changes are needed; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Redlands (“City Council”) is informed and finds that these climatic, geological and topographical conditions include, but are not limited to, the following conditions;

1. The City receives relatively low amounts of precipitation, and experiences very low relative humidity levels and extremely high temperatures. These climatic conditions are conductive to the spread of fire. For example, the following data was taken from the recorded temperatures and measured rainfall at the San Bernardino County Flood Control District Office, located at 825 East 3rd Street, San Bernardino:
2022: Maximum temperature greater than 100°F recorded during the months of July, August and September. Total recorded annual rainfall of 2.92.00 inches, with

0.64 inches of rain measured in the months of July, August, September and October.
2023: Maximum temperature greater than 100°F recorded during the months of July, August and September. Total recorded annual rainfall of 16.4972 inches, with

1.23 inches total of rain measured in the months of July, August and October. 2024: Maximum temperature greater than 100°F recorded during the months of July, August and September. Total recorded annual rainfall of 14.60 inches, with 0.72 inches total of rain measured in the months of July, August and October.

2. The City is subject to extremely strong winds, commonly referred to as “Santa Ana Winds,” which can reach speeds of more than 40 miles per hour. Extensive damage Redlands Regular Meeting of 12/16/25 293 of 1055
often occurs during such winds including downed trees, power lines, utility poles and utility service lines. These adverse conditions cause:

A. Fires.

B. Impairment of emergency apparatus access.

C. Delays in response times of emergency apparatus; and D. The depletion of apparatus readily available for fire suppression activities.

Specific amendments to the California Fire Code contained in this Ordinance pursuant to this express finding of local necessity are made to sections: 101.1, 103.1, 104.8, 104.10, 104.12, 105.5.60 108.2, 108.6, 108.7, 109.5, 112.1, 113.4, 113.4.1, 113.5, 114.4, 308.1.8, 324, 403.9.3.4, 503.1.1, 503.2.3, 503.2.4, 503.2.7, 503.4, 505.1, 505.1.1, 507.5.1, 507.5.7, 507.5.8, 509.3, 511, 903.2.1.1, 903.2.1.2, 903.2.1.3, 903.2.1.4, 903.2.1.5, 903.2.2, 903.2.3, 903.2.4, 903.2.7, 903.2.8, 903.2.9, 903.2.9.1, 903.2.9.2, 903.2.11.1, 903.2.11.3, 903.2.18, 903.3.1.3, 903.3.5.3, 903.6.1, 903.6.2, 903.6.3, 903.7, 905.4, 907.11, 910.2, 914.12, 1103.2, 1207.7.5, 1208, 5601.9, 5601.10, 5601.11, 5602.2, 5602.3, 5602.4, 5602.5, 5602.6, Appendix B, Appendix BB, Appendix C, Appendix CC, Appendix D, and Appendix P.

3. Within the City there are four earthquake faults:

A. Redlands Heights
B. Banning
C. Crafton
D. The Redlands Fault
Numerous other faults lie in close proximity, including the San Andreas Fault. In the event of a severe earthquake, these faults present the potential for catastrophic damage, including extensive damage to buildings, fire damage to major infrastructure including water and sewer distribution lines, roadways, bridges across a major storm drain and railroad right-of-way and other impairments to the movement of emergency apparatus.

Specific amendments to the California Fire Code contained in this Ordinance pursuant to this express finding of local necessity are made to sections: 101.1, 103.1, 104.8, 104.10, 104.12, 105.5.60 108.2, 108.6, 108.7, 109.5, 112.1, 113.4, 113.4.1, 113.5, 114.4, 308.1.8, 324, 403.9.3.4, 503.1.1, 503.2.3, 503.2.4, 503.2.7, 503.4, 505.1, 505.1.1, 507.5.1, 507.5.7, 507.5.8, 509.3, 511, 903.2.1.1, 903.2.1.2, 903.2.1.3, 903.2.1.4, 903.2.1.5, 903.2.2, 903.2.3, 903.2.4, 903.2.7, 903.2.8, 903.2.9, 903.2.9.1, 903.2.9.2, 903.2.11.1, 903.2.11.3, 903.2.18, 903.3.1.3, 903.3.5.3, 903.6.1, 903.6.2, 903.6.3, 903.7, 905.4, 907.11, 910.2, 914.12, 1103.2, 1207.7.5, 1208, 5601.9, 5601.10, 5601.11, 5602.2, 5602.3, 5602.4, 5602.5, 5602.6, Appendix B, Appendix BB, Appendix C, Appendix CC, Appendix D, and Appendix P.

4. Within the City development has occurred, and continues to occur, which has resulted in severe traffic congestion during peak hours, weekends and holidays, Redlands Regular Meeting of 12/16/25 294 of 1055
particularly on the following streets and highways: Citrus Avenue, Cajon Street, Orange Street, Lugonia Avenue, Colton Avenue, Tennessee Street, San Timoteo Canyon, Interstate 10 Freeway, and Alabama Street; thus decreasing response time. This development includes high-rise structures, institutional, commercial, industrial and residential structures. Development has occurred within the portion of the City known as Sunset Hills, where roadways have been built in areas of severe topographical conditions including street and driveway grades in excess of 12%. Such traffic congestion and severe roadway conditions extend the time for emergency vehicles to reach the scene of fires and other emergencies.

Specific amendments to the California Fire Code contained in this Ordinance pursuant to this express finding of local necessity are made to sections: 101.1, 103.1, 104.8, 104.10, 104.12, 105.5.60 108.2, 108.6, 108.7, 109.5, 112.1, 113.4, 113.4.1, 113.5, 114.4, 308.1.8, 324, 403.9.3.4, 503.1.1, 503.2.3, 503.2.4, 503.2.7, 503.4, 505.1, 505.1.1, 507.5.1, 507.5.7, 507.5.8, 509.3, 511, 903.2.1.1, 903.2.1.2, 903.2.1.3, 903.2.1.4, 903.2.1.5, 903.2.2, 903.2.3, 903.2.4, 903.2.7, 903.2.8, 903.2.9, 903.2.9.1, 903.2.9.2, 903.2.11.1, 903.2.11.3, 903.2.18, 903.3.1.3, 903.3.5.3, 903.6.1, 903.6.2, 903.6.3, 903.7, 905.4, 907.11, 910.2, 914.12, 1103.2, 1207.7.5, 1208, 5601.9, 5601.10, 5601.11, 5602.2, 5602.3, 5602.4, 5602.5, 5602.6, Appendix B, Appendix BB, Appendix C, Appendix CC, Appendix D, and Appendix P.

WHEREAS, this City Council is informed and finds that because the City is subject to the above referenced climatic, geological and topographical conditions, that amendments to the California Fire Code, 2025 Edition, are necessary to protect life and property, and that such amendments address the following issues: (1) high fire hazard areas; (2) water supplies; (3) fire extinguishing systems and sprinkler systems, and (4) the storage, handling and use of flammable and combustible liquids and hazardous materials; and

This development includes high-rise structures, institutional, commercial, industrial and residential structures. Development has occurred within the portion of the City known as Sunset Hills, where roadways have been built in areas of severe topographical conditions including street and driveway grades in excess of 12%. Such traffic congestion and severe roadway conditions extend the time for emergency vehicles to reach the scene of fires and other emergencies.

Redlands Regular Meeting of 12/16/25 370 of 1055
RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends the City Council open the public hearing, receive any public comment, close the public hearing and adopt Ordinance No. 2998.

DISCUSSION:

Title 15 of the Redlands Municipal Code (RMC) outlines the administrative and technical requirements for building construction within the City of Redlands. Title 15 adopts State building standards and additional model codes by reference.

The California Code of Regulations, Title 24, also known as the California Building Standards Code, includes Part 7, the Wildland-Urban Interface Code.

The State updates these codes on a three-year cycle, and the most recent edition was published on July 1, 2025. The 2025 California Building Standards Codes will take effect on January 1, 2026.

Under California Building Standards law, cities and counties may adopt building standards that are more restrictive than those in the California Building Standards Code when justified by local climatic, geological, or topographical conditions. Administrative provisions may also be amended as needed.

Through this ordinance, staff is proposing amendments to the Wildland-Urban Interface Code and the adoption of local standards. These localized amendments will be incorporated into Chapter 15.30 of the RMC and will include requirements for fire protection plans for new developments in wildfire hazard areas; vegetation management and defensible space standards; authority to restrict access to undeveloped wildfire hazard areas during hazardous weather conditions; restrictions on outdoor fires during such conditions; and code administration provisions, including permit violation standards. The Fire Code will be amended and adopted separately.

Redlands Municipal Code Chapter 15.30 was originally enacted in 2008 to establish local wildfire safety and mitigation regulations. Beginning in 2026, the California Building Standards Commission will, for the first time, publish a statewide Wildland-Urban Interface Code, consolidating most wildfire safety regulations previously located in the California Fire Code, California Building Code, and California Residential Code. This consolidation is intended to improve accessibility, clarity, and efficiency for all code users, including the general public, design professionals, and contractors.

This ordinance will ensure that Redlands Municipal Code Chapter 15.30 remains consistent and aligned with the newly created 2025 California Wildland-Urban Interface Code.

ORDINANCE NO. 2998
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF REDLANDS AMENDING CHAPTER 15.30 OF THE REDLANDS MUNICIPAL CODE AND ADOPTING BY REFERENCE THE 2025 EDITION

OF THE CALIFORNIA WILDLAND-URBAN INTERFACE CODE (CALIFORNIA CODE OF REGULATIONS, TITLE 24, PART 7) WITH NECESSARY LOCAL AMENDMENTS WHEREAS, Health and Safety Code Section 17958 and Government Code Section 50022 empower the City to adopt by reference the California Building Standards Code, including the California Wildland-Urban Interface Code; and
WHEREAS, Health and Safety Code Section 17958.5 authorizes the City to make amendments to the California Wildland-Urban Interface Code on the basis of local climatic, geological or topographical conditions; and
WHEREAS, Health and Safety Code Section 17958.7 requires that before making any modifications or changes pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 17958.5, the City Council of the City shall make an express finding of local necessity that such modifications or changes are needed; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Redlands (“City Council”) is informed and finds that these climatic, geological and topographical conditions include, but are not limited to, the following conditions;

1. The City receives relatively low amounts of precipitation, and experiences very low relative humidity levels and extremely high temperatures. These climatic conditions are conductive to the spread of fire. For example, the following data was taken from the recorded temperatures and measured rainfall at the San Bernardino County Flood Control District Office, located at 825 East 3rd Street, San Bernardino:
2022: Maximum temperature greater than 100°F recorded during the months of July, August and September. Total recorded annual rainfall of 2.92.00 inches, with

0.64 inches of rain measured in the months of July, August, September and October. 2023: Maximum temperature greater than 100°F recorded during the months of July, August and September. Total recorded annual rainfall of 16.4972 inches, with

1.23 inches total of rain measured in the months of July, August and October. 2024: Maximum temperature greater than 100°F recorded during the months of July, August and September. Total recorded annual rainfall of 14.60 inches, with

0.72 inches total of rain measured in the months of July, August and October.

2. The City is subject to extremely strong winds, commonly referred to as “Santa Ana Winds,” which can reach speeds of more than 40 miles per hour. Extensive Redlands Regular Meeting of 12/16/25 373 of 1055
damage often occurs during such winds including downed trees, power lines, utility poles and utility service lines. These adverse conditions cause:

A. Fires.

B. Impairment of emergency apparatus access.

C. Delays in response times of emergency apparatus; and D. The depletion of apparatus readily available for fire suppression activities.

Specific amendments to the California Wildland-Urban Interface Code contained in this Ordinance pursuant to this express finding of local necessity are made to sections: 101.1, 103.2, 104.12, 108.2, 108.6, 108.7, 109.3.7, 114.5, 202, 302.3, 603.5, 604.6, A103.1, A104.7.4.

3. Within the City there are four earthquake faults:

A. Redlands Heights
B. Banning
C. Crafton
D. The Redlands Fault
Numerous other faults lie in close proximity, including the San Andreas Fault. In the event of a severe earthquake, these faults present the potential for catastrophic damage, including extensive damage to buildings, fire damage to major infrastructure including water and sewer distribution lines, roadways, bridges across a major storm drain and railroad right-of-way, and other impairments to the movement of emergency apparatus.

Specific amendments to the California Wildland-Urban Interface Code contained in this Ordinance pursuant to this express finding of local necessity are made to sections: 101.1, 103.2, 104.12, 108.2, 108.6, 108.7, 109.3.7, 114.5, 202, 302.3, 603.5, 604.6, A103.1, A104.7.4.

4. Within the City development has occurred, and continues to occur, which has resulted in severe traffic congestion during peak hours, weekends and holidays, particularly on the following streets and highways: Citrus Avenue, Cajon Street, Orange Street, Lugonia Avenue, Colton Avenue, Tennessee Street, San Timoteo Canyon, Interstate 10 Freeway, and Alabama Street; thus decreasing response time. This development includes high-rise structures, institutional, commercial, industrial and residential structures. Development has occurred within the portion of the City known as Sunset Hills, where roadways have been built in areas of severe topographical conditions including street and driveway grades in excess of 12%. Such traffic congestion and severe roadway conditions extend the time for emergency vehicles to reach the scene of fires and other emergencies.

Specific amendments to the California Wildland-Urban Interface Code contained in this Ordinance pursuant to this express finding of local necessity are made to Redlands Regular Meeting of 12/16/25 374 of 1055
sections: 101.1, 103.2, 104.12, 108.2, 108.6, 108.7, 109.3.7, 114.5, 202, 302.3, 603.5, 604.6, A103.1, A104.7.4.

WHEREAS, this City Council is informed and finds that because the City is subject to the above referenced climatic, geological and topographical conditions, that amendments to the California Wildland-Urban Interface Code, 2025 Edition, are necessary to protect life and property, and that such amendments address the following issues: (1) high fire hazard areas; (2) water supplies; (3) fire extinguishing systems and sprinkler systems, (4) fire safety practices.

WHEREAS, this City Council does hereby determine that the modifications to the 2025 California Wildland-Urban Interface Code, as outlined in this Ordinance, are necessary due to local climatic, geographical and topographical conditions;

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF REDLANDS DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF REDLANDS AMENDING CHAPTER 15.30 OF THE REDLANDS MUNICIPAL CODE AND ADOPTING BY REFERENCE THE 2025 EDITION

OF THE CALIFORNIA WILDLAND-URBAN INTERFACE CODE (CALIFORNIA CODE OF REGULATIONS, TITLE 24, PART 7) WITH NECESSARY LOCAL AMENDMENTS WHEREAS, Health and Safety Code Section 17958 and Government Code Section 50022 empower the City to adopt by reference the California Building Standards Code, including the California Wildland-Urban Interface Code; and
WHEREAS, Health and Safety Code Section 17958.5 authorizes the City to make amendments to the California Wildland-Urban Interface Code on the basis of local climatic, geological or topographical conditions; and
WHEREAS, Health and Safety Code Section 17958.7 requires that before making any modifications or changes pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 17958.5, the City Council of the City shall make an express finding of local necessity that such modifications or changes are needed; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Redlands (“City Council”) is informed and finds that these climatic, geological and topographical conditions include, but are not limited to, the following conditions;

1. The City receives relatively low amounts of precipitation, and experiences very low relative humidity levels and extremely high temperatures. These climatic conditions are conductive to the spread of fire. For example, the following data was taken from the recorded temperatures and measured rainfall at the San Bernardino County Flood Control District Office, located at 825 East 3rd Street, San Bernardino:
2022: Maximum temperature greater than 100F recorded during the months of July, August, and September. Total recorded annual rainfall of 2.92.00 inches, with 0.64 inches of rain measured in the months of July, August, September, and October. 2023: Maximum temperature greater than 100F recorded during the months of July, August, and September. Total recorded annual rainfall of 16.4972 inches, with 1.23 inches total of rain measured in the months of July, August, and October. 2024: Maximum temperature greater than 100F recorded during the months of July, August, and September. Total recorded annual rainfall of 14.60 inches, with 0.72 inches total of rain measured in the months of July, August, and October.

2. The City is subject to extremely strong winds, commonly referred to as “Santa Ana Winds,” which can reach speeds of more than 40 miles per hour. Extensive Redlands Regular Meeting of 12/16/25 388 of 1055
2 I:\cmo\Ordinances\Ordinance No. 2998.Legislative.12.03.25.docx.bm damage often occurs during such winds including downed trees, power lines, utility poles and utility service lines. These adverse conditions cause:

A. Fires.

B. Impairment of emergency apparatus access.

C. Delays in response times of emergency apparatus; and D. The depletion of apparatus readily available for fire suppression activities.

Specific amendments to the California Wildland-Urban Interface Code contained in this Ordinance pursuant to this express finding of local necessity are made to sections: 101.1, 103.2, 104.12, 108.2, 108.6, 108.7, 109.3.7, 114.5, 202, 302.3, 603.5, 604.6, A103.1, A104.7.4.

3. Within the City there are four earthquake faults:

A. Redlands Heights
B. Banning
C. Crafton
D. The Redlands Fault
Numerous other faults lie in close proximity, including the San Andreas Fault. In the event of a severe earthquake, these faults present the potential for catastrophic damage, including extensive damage to buildings, fire damage to major infrastructure including water and sewer distribution lines, roadways, bridges across a major storm drain and railroad right-of-way, and other impairments to the movement of emergency apparatus.

Specific amendments to the California Wildland-Urban Interface Code contained in this Ordinance pursuant to this express finding of local necessity are made to sections: 101.1, 103.2, 104.12, 108.2, 108.6, 108.7, 109.3.7, 114.5, 202, 302.3, 603.5, 604.6, A103.1, A104.7.4.

4. Within the City development has occurred, and continues to occur, which has resulted in severe traffic congestion during peak hours, weekends and holidays, particularly on the following streets and highways: Citrus Avenue, Cajon Street, Orange Street, Lugonia Avenue, Colton Avenue, Tennessee Street, San Timoteo Canyon, Interstate 10 Freeway, and Alabama Street; thus decreasing response time. This development includes high-rise structures, institutional, commercial, industrial and residential structures. Development has occurred within the portion of the City known as Sunset Hills, where roadways have been built in areas of severe topographical conditions including street and driveway grades in excess of 12%. Such traffic congestion and severe roadway conditions extend the time for emergency vehicles to reach the scene of fires and other emergencies.

Specific amendments to the California Wildland-Urban Interface Code contained in this Ordinance pursuant to this express finding of local necessity are made to Redlands Regular Meeting of 12/16/25 389 of 1055

WHEREAS, this City Council is informed and finds that because the City is subject to the above referenced climatic, geological and topographical conditions, that amendments to the California Wildland-Urban Interface Code, 2025 Edition, are necessary to protect life and property, and that such amendments address the following issues: (1) high fire hazard areas; (2) water supplies; (3) fire extinguishing systems and sprinkler systems, (4) fire safety practices.

WHEREAS, this City Council does hereby determine that the modifications to the 2025 California Wildland-Urban Interface Code, as outlined in this Ordinance, are necessary due to local climatic, geographical and topographical conditions;
