PUBLIC HEARING
City of San Bernardino
Request for Council Action
Date: July 2, 2025
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Bill Gallardo, Interim City Manager;
Lynn Merrill, Director of Public Works
Department: Public Works
Subject: Conduct a Public Hearing to Consider Adjusting the Maximum Permitted Service Rates for Integrated Solid
Waste Collection, Processing, and Disposal Services. (All Wards)
Recommendation:

It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California:

1. Conduct a public hearing to receive public comments on the proposed Maximum Permitted Service Rates for Integrated Solid Waste Collection, Processing, and Disposal Services; and,

2. Determine if written protests have been received from the owners and tenants of parcels which are subject to the Maximum Permitted Services Rates for Integrated Solid Waste Collection, Processing, and Disposal and whether a majority protest has been received; and,

3. If there is no majority protest, adopt Resolution No. 2025-310 of the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California establishing the Maximum Permitted Service Rates for Integrated Solid Waste Collection, Processing, and Disposal starting July 2, 2025.

Executive Summary
The City of San Bernardino (“City”) has an exclusive franchise agreement (“Franchise Agreement”) with Burrtec Waste Industries (“Burrtec”) to provide solid waste, recycling and organics collection and processing services to all residential, commercial and industrial businesses within the City through automated carts, front-load bins, roll- offs. Through the franchise agreement, Burrtec may request periodic rate increases

Packet Page. 16

to cover the costs of providing solid waste collection and processing services. The proposed rate increase is $1.33 per residence; the CPI portion is 2.61% or $0.6895 while the remaining 2.39% is $0.6314 per single-family residential account. This would raise the residential rate from $26.42 to $27.75 per month. Commercial rates may increase from 2.61% to 8%, depending on the type and frequency of the commercial service.

Under Proposition 218 (Article XIII D, Section 6 of the California Constitution), notice of a public hearing regarding rate increases was mailed to property owners and tenants of the properties receiving solid waste collection services 45 days in advance of this scheduled public hearing. (Attachment 2).

Background
The term of the franchise agreement for solid waste services was initially April 1, 2016, through March 31, 2026 and was subsequently extended to March 31, 2031 by the adoption of the Third Amendment to the Franchise Agreement on July 3, 2024.

Consumer Price Index Adjustments
Section 21.1.3 (a) of the franchise agreement between Burrtec and the City provides that Burrtec may increase the Maximum Permitted Service Rates by the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) each July 1. Section 21.1.3(b) of the franchise agreement allows for a CPI rate adjustment to a maximum of a 5% increase annually, with any amount above 5% or below 0% carried forward and applied in subsequent years. Burrtec must send the proposed rate adjustment calculations and full rate schedule to the City Manager for review by March 1 of each year.

The CPI for the rate increases shall refer to the 12-month annual average percentage change for the most recent January 1 – December 31 period, compared to the prior January 1 – December 31 period, in the All Urban Consumers Index (CPI-U), Not Seasonally Adjusted, All Items, Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario, CA, as published by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Discussion
Burrtec has provided the City with the FY 2025-26 Proposed Solid Waste Rate adjustments (See Attachment 3). Burrtec is entitled to a 2.61% CPI adjustment for residential customers. Due to increased costs for materials and fuels, Burrtec has requested an additional increase of 2.39% to recover a small portion of the overall SB 1383 Residential Program Costs. This small increase for the SB 1383 organic waste program recognizes that program costs for the implementation of the SB 1383 regulations are causing upward pressure on residential rates after the first full year of implementation.

The total proposed rate increase is $1.33 per residence or 5.03%. In the proposed current rate, the CPI portion is 2.61% or $0.6895 while the remaining 2.39% is $0.6314 per single-family residential account. This would raise the residential rate from $26.42 to $27.75 per month.

It's important to note that the City of San Bernardino continues to have the lowest rate in the region, and that cities such as Los Angeles and San Diego are proposing monthly residential rate increases above $50.00. Attachment 1 shows current and proposed residential refuse rates in effect for 2024-2025 and proposed (where applicable) for 2025-2026 for various jurisdictions within the southern California area. As shown in Attachment 1, residential refuse rates for FY2025-2026 range from $27.75 as proposed for the City of San Bernardino to a high of $43.81 for the City of Ontario; the average for 18 cities surveyed is $37.07.

In addition, Burrtec is entitled to CPI increase for Commercial Rates of 2.61%. With SB 1383 Program Costs, these proposed increases range from 4-8% based on frequency based on collection.
2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
Setting the public hearing aligns with Key Target No. 3c: Improved Quality of Life by evaluating and enhancing the quality of public safety services and Key Target No. 3d: Improved Quality of Life by improving the City’s appearance, cleanliness, and attractiveness
Fiscal Impact
There is an anticipated increase in revenues to the General Fund if the rate increase is adopted by the Mayor and City Council. These revenues will vary based on the types of solid waste services selected by the community. In FY 2024-25, the City expects to receive $10,763,500 in franchise fees. If the solid waste rates are approved, this amount may increase by approximately 5% in FY2025-26.

Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California:

1. Conduct a public hearing to receive public comments on the proposed Maximum Permitted Service Rates for Integrated Solid Waste Collection, Processing, and Disposal Services; and,

2. Determine if written protests have been received from the owners and tenants of parcels which are subject to the Maximum Permitted Services Rates for Integrated Solid Waste Collection, Processing, and Disposal and whether a majority protest has been received; and,

3. If there is no majority protest, adopt Resolution No. 2025-310 of the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California establishing the Maximum Permitted Service Rates for Integrated Solid Waste Collection, Processing, and Disposal starting July 2, 2025.

Notice of Public Hearing to Consider
Solid Waste Collection Service Rates Increase
Proposition 218 Notification
Wednesday, July 2, 2025
Notice is hereby given that the City of San Bernardino (“City”) will conduct a public hearing on July 2, 2025, at 5 p.m. at the Feldheym Central Library, 555 West 6th Street, San Bernardino, CA 92410 to consider adopting increases to the rates for collection, processing, and disposal of solid waste within the City (collectively, “Solid Waste Services”).

The purpose of the public hearing is to consider all oral testimony and written protests to, and the adoption of, the proposed rates. This 45-day notice is hereby given in accordance with Section 6(a) of Article XIII D of the California Constitution.

About Solid Waste Collection Services and Rates
Burrtec Waste Industries, Inc. (“Burrtec”) provides solid waste services within the City under an exclusive franchise agreement. In compliance with Proposition 218, Article XIII D of the California State Constitution, and the Proposition 218 Omnibus Implementation Act, the City hereby notifies all affected property owners and occupants of the properties receiving Solid Waste Services of proposed rate increases for the City’s residential and commercial Solid Waste Services.

The proposed rate increase is necessary to cover the inflationary increase for Solid Waste Services and the costs of providing mandatory organic waste collection services, required by the regulations implementing Senate Bill 1383 (Chapter 395, Statutes of 2016). These new rates will fund services such as weekly organic waste collection, outreach, education, monitoring, and reporting to ensure compliance with SB 1383 regulations.

The rates will apply to six customer classes: (1) mobile home, (2) single-family, (3) multi-family dwelling, (4) commercial, (5) roll-offs, and (6) additional services for other customers. The rate adjustments are based on factors including the size and type of containers used (e.g., trash, recycling, or green/organic waste), as well as the frequency of waste pickups.

A public hearing will be held to consider these new rates. All interested persons are invited to participate in the hearing and provide a written protest to the proposed rate increase. If the rates are adopted on July 2, 2025, they will become effective on July 2, 2025. For questions about the Public Hearing process or the proposed rates, please call 909-384-5375 or visit https://sbcity.org/819/Solid-Waste-Rates.

Proposed Rates
The proposed FY 2025-26 rates include a 2.61% inflationary increase for residential and commercial customers. Burrtec has requested an additional rate increase of 2.39% (for a total rate increase of 5%) due to increasing costs associated with providing SB 1383 mandated organics recycling for residential and commercial customers in order to allow Burrtec to recover a portion of the overall SB 1383 program costs for FY 2025-26, with the balance of these costs to be recovered in FY 2026-27.

The table below shows examples of the current and proposed monthly rates for residential cart service and the base commercial barrel service. For full rate details for all City customer service levels, roll-off services, and additional services please see Exhibit A or visit the City of San Bernardino Solid Waste Rates page at https://sbcity.org/819/Solid- Waste-Rates.

$26.42 $27.61 $1.19
Annual Adjustments
CPI Adjustment: The proposed maximum rates for Solid Waste Services in Exhibit A account for inflation, subject to a 5% cap on Maximum Permitted Service Rates. Beginning July 1, 2026, and each July 1 thereafter, through and including July 1, 2030, the then-current Maximum Permitted Service Rates will be adjusted by the 12-month annual average percentage change for the most recent calendar year, compared to the prior calendar year, in the All Urbans Consumer Index (CPI-U), Not Seasonally Adjusted, All Items, Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario, CA, as published by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Statistics.

Public Hearing Process
Any property owner whose property is to be subject to the proposed increases to the rates for Solid Waste Services and any tenant directly responsible for the payment of such fees (i.e., a customer of record) may submit a written protest to the proposed rate increases; provided, however, only one protest will be counted per identified parcel.

Written protests must include the following:
(1) State that the identified property owner or tenant is in opposition to the proposed rate increase to the fees; (2) The location of the identified parcel (by assessor’s parcel number or street address); and (3) The name and signature of the property owner or tenant submitting the protest.

If the person submitting the written protest is the owner of record but was not shown on San Bernardino County’s last equalized assessment roll as the property owner, that person must provide written evidence that the person is the property owner.

Written protests may be submitted by mail or in person to the City Clerk’s Office, provided they are received prior to 3 p.m. on July 2, 2025. Written protests may also be submitted to the City Clerk at the Public Hearing prior to the close of the public comment portion of the Public Hearing. Written protests submitted via e-mail will not be accepted. Please identify on the front of the envelope for any protest, whether mailed or submitted in person, Attn: Solid Waste Rates.

Written protests may be submitted as follows:

The City Council will consider all written protests and hear and consider all oral comments regarding the proposed rate increases for Solid Waste Services and the annual rate adjustments at the Public Hearing. Oral comments at the Public Hearing will not qualify as formal protests unless accompanied by a written protest. Owners of multiple properties must file a separate written protest for each property. Only one written protest per parcel will be counted. Protests sent by email or fax , or received after the Public Hearing is closed, will not be counted. Public comments at the Hearing will not qualify as a formal protest unless accompanied by a written protest.

After the conclusion of the Public Hearing, if written protests are submitted by a majority of affected property owners or tenants of the parcels receiving Solid Waste Services, the proposed solid waste collection service rates may not be implemented. If written protests are not submitted by a majority of affected property owners or tenants, then the City Council may impose the rate increases. If adopted, the proposed rate increases will take effect beginning July 2, 2025.

The City is conducting this Proposition 218 majority protest proceeding out of an abundance of caution and without conceding the applicability of Proposition 218 to Solid Waste Services.

ACTION EXEMPT FROM THE CALIFORNIA

ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT
WHEREAS, Burrtec Waste Industries, Inc. (“Burrtec”) provides refuse, recycling, and organic waste collection, procession and disposal, street sweeping, and right-of-way clean up services to the City of San Bernardino (“City”) pursuant to an exclusive franchise agreement with the City (“Agreement”); and
WHEREAS, Burrtec is required to provide such solid waste services (“Services”) as set forth in the Agreement; and
WHEREAS, since the approval of the Agreement, California law changed to now require the City to implement additional solid waste diversion programs; and WHEREAS, Burrtec will continue to provide Services that comply with regulations to implement SB 1383 (Chapter 395, Statutes of 2016) (“SB 1383 Regulations”) to the City; and WHEREAS, the rate structure for solid waste, recycling, and organics (including green waste and food waste) collection is based on the container size, type of materials accepted in the containers, and frequency of collection; and
WHEREAS, the terms of the Agreement provide a methodology for adjustments to the Maximum Permitted Services Rates, including Consumer Price Index (CPI); and, WHEREAS, the City has determined that it is necessary to impose new, increased or modified rates for its solid waste service charges (collectively herein, the “Charges”); and WHEREAS, the amount of the Charges will not exceed the proportional cost of the service attributable to each parcel upon which they are proposed for imposition; and WHEREAS, the Charges will not be imposed on a parcel unless the services are actually used by, or immediately available to, the owner or tenant of the parcel; and WHEREAS, California Constitution article XIII D, section 6 (“Article XIII D”) requires that prior to imposing any increase to the Charges, the City shall provide written notice (the “Notice”) by mail of: (1) the proposed increases to such Charges to the record owner of each parcel upon which the Charges are proposed for imposition and any tenant directly liable for payment of the Charges; (2) the amount of the Charges proposed to be imposed on each

parcel; (3) the basis upon which the Charges were calculated; (4) the reason for the Charges; and (5) the date, time, and location of a public hearing (the “Hearing”) on the proposed Charges; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Article XIII D such Notice is required to be provided to the affected property owners and any tenant directly liable for the payment of the Charges not less than 45 days prior to the Hearing on the proposed Charges; and WHEREAS, the Notice was mailed in accordance with Article XIII D; and WHEREAS, the Hearing was held on this day, July 2, 2025; and WHEREAS, at the Hearing the City Council heard and considered all oral testimony, written materials, and written protests concerning the establishment and imposition of the proposed Charges, and at the close of the Hearing the City did not receive written protests against the establishment and imposition of the proposed rate increases for the Charges from a majority of the affected property owners upon which the Charges are proposed for imposition or any tenants directly liable for the payment of the Charges; and WHEREAS, the City Council now desires to establish and impose the proposed Charges.

BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1. That the foregoing Recitals are true and correct and are incorporated herein by this reference.

SECTION 2. The City Council hereby approves the maximum Charges, effective July 2, 2025, for solid waste service at the maximum rates as set forth in Exhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.

SECTION 3. The City Council hereby adopts annual automatic adjustments for the then- current maximum Charges effective July 1, 2026, and each July 1 thereafter, through and including July 1, 2030, without further public hearings. Pursuant to such authority, the City shall be authorized annually to increases the maximum Charges by the 12-month annual average percentage change for the most recent calendar year, compared to the prior calendar year, in the All Urbans Consumer Index (CPI- U), Not Seasonally Adjusted, All Items, Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario, CA, as published by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Statistics, provided the City shall not increase the Charges by more than five percent (5%) in any calendar year, and in no event shall any such annual automatic adjustment cause the maximum Charges to exceed the cost of providing the Services. Prior to implementing any increase in the maximum Charges as a result of the annual automatic adjustment, the City shall provide written notice of the rate increase at least thirty (30) days in advance of the effective date.

SECTION 4. To the extent any Charges established by this Resolution are inconsistent with any Charges previously adopted by the City Council, it is the explicit intention of the City Council that the Charges adopted pursuant to this Resolution shall prevail.

SECTION 5. This Resolution is not subject to the requirements of California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”). The approval of this Resolution is not a “project” within the meaning of Section 15378 of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations (“State CEQA Guidelines”) because it has no potential for resulting in direct or indirect physical change in the environment. The Charges are exempt from CEQA pursuant to California Public Resources Code section 21080(b)(8) and State CEQA Guidelines section 15273(a) because such charges are necessary and reasonable to fund the administration, operation, maintenance, and improvements of the solid waste collection system. The documents and materials that constitute the record of proceedings on which these findings have been based are located at 215 North “D” Street, San Bernardino, CA 92401. The custodian for these records is the City Clerk of the City.

SECTION 6. If any section, subsection, subdivision, sentence, clause, or phrase in this Resolution or any part thereof is for any reason held to be unconstitutional, invalid, or ineffective by any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity or effectiveness of the remaining portions of this Resolution or any part thereof. The City Council hereby declares that it would have adopted each section irrespective of the fact that any one or more subsections, subdivisions, sentences, clauses, or phrases be declared unconstitutional, invalid, or ineffective.

SECTION 7. This Resolution shall take effect immediately upon adoption SECTION 8. The City Clerk shall attest and certify to the passage and adoption thereof.

APPROVED and ADOPTED by the City Council and signed by the Mayor and attested by the City Clerk this 2nd day of July, 2025.

CONSENT CALENDAR
City of San Bernardino
Request for Council Action
Date: July 2, 2025
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Bill Gallardo, Interim City Manager
Department: City Manager’s Office
Subject: Join the California Community Housing Agency (CalCHA) Middle-Income Rental Housing Program (All Wards)
Recommendation:

It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, adopt Resolution No. 2025-323:

1. Authorizing the City to become a member of the California Community Housing Agency (CalCHA); and

2. Approving and authorizing the City Manager to enter into a Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement relating to the Agency and one or more Public Benefit Agreements with the Agency; and

3. Approving the Agency’s issuance of Revenue Bonds for the new construction of essential middle-income housing projects within City limits.

Executive Summary
The proposed action would authorize the City of San Bernardino to join the California Community Housing Agency (CalCHA), a Joint Powers Authority formed to support workforce housing. By becoming a member, the City can facilitate new housing projects using tax-exempt revenue bonds issued by CalCHA—at no financial risk to the City.

This partnership also allows the City to take advantage of state incentives, including Assembly Bill 2011, to help meet the growing need for middle-income housing. The initiative aligns with the City’s housing priorities and supports long-term economic and community development.

Background
The Essential Middle-Income Affordable Housing Program, in partnership with the California Community Housing Agency (CalCHA), leverages state legislation— including Assembly Bill 2011—to support the development of mixed-use workforce housing. AB 2011 allows qualifying projects in commercial zones to proceed with by-

right approval, streamlining entitlements by removing discretionary reviews and significantly reducing approval timelines.

Projects under this program must be new construction and are required to use prevailing-wage labor, creating an estimated 700 construction jobs per development.

Long-term affordability is protected through recorded 55-year covenants, with rents set below the market rate and a guaranteed minimum 10% rent discount. These units are targeted at households earning between 60% and 110% of the area median income (AMI), providing much-needed housing for residents who often earn too much to qualify for traditional affordable housing but are priced out of market-rate units.

Discussion
Each development will also include a commercial component, which will contribute to local revenue through property taxes and retail activity. Projects must comply with all City planning and permitting requirements, ADA standards, and standard business and sales tax regulations, ensuring consistency with local policies and oversight.

One potential future site for the project is located along 2nd Street, between Warm Creek and Mt. View Avenue. This location is well-positioned near major transportation corridors and is just over ¼ mile from a transit center, which qualifies it under Article 3 of AB 2011 for increased density (up to 80 units per acre) and potential parking reductions. Additionally, the site is within a five-mile radius of a significant concentration of employment, making it a strong candidate for workforce housing development.

A proposed mixed-use development at this site would include approximately 230 to 236 residential units and about 4,000 square feet of retail space, potentially accommodating a market and deli. This concept aims to help address the critical shortage of middle-income housing while supporting local businesses, stimulating economic activity, and fostering a walkable, integrated community.

Strategic Targets and Goals
This initiative advances the City’s goals to expand middle-income housing, support local job creation, and encourage investment in underutilized areas. The project’s location near a transit center promotes walkable, higher-density development. By partnering with CalCHA, the City can achieve these outcomes without financial impact to the General Fund.

Fiscal Impact
The City will not incur any financial obligation or assume debt through participation in CalCHA. The agency issues tax-exempt revenue bonds independently, with no risk or liability to the City. Staff time will be needed for permitting and coordination. While CalCHA projects may receive partial property tax exemptions, revenue can still be generated from commercial components and leasehold assessments. This structure supports workforce housing without impacting the City’s General Fund.

Assembly Bill No. 2011
CHAPTER 647
An act to amend Sections 65400 and 65585 of, and to add and repeal Chapter 4.1 (commencing with Section 65912.100) of Di vision 1 of Title 7 of, the Government Code, relating to housing.
[Approved by Governor September 28, 2022. Filed with
Secretary of State September 28, 2022.]
legislative counsel’s digest
AB 2011, Wicks. Affordable Housing and High Road Jobs Act of 2022.

The Planning and Zoning La w authorizes a de velopment proponent to submit an application for a multifamily housing development that is subject to a streamlined, ministerial approval process and not subject to a conditional use permit if the de velopment satisfies specified objecti ve planning standards.

This bill would create the Affordable Housing and High Road Jobs Act of 2022, which w ould authorize a de velopment proponent to submit an application for a housing de velopment that meets specified objecti ve standards and affordability and site criteria, including being located within a zone where office, retail, or parking are a principally permitted use, and would mak e the de velopment a use by right and subject to one of 2 streamlined, ministerial re view processes. The bill w ould require a development proponent for a housing development project approved pursuant to the streamlined, ministerial review process to require, in contracts with construction contractors, that certain wage and labor standards will be met, including a requirement that all construction w orkers be paid at least the general prevailing rate of w ages, as specified. The bill w ould require a development proponent to certify to the local go vernment that those standards will be met in project construction. By e xpanding the crime of perjury, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program.

This bill would require the Labor Commissioner to enforce the obligation to pay prevailing wages. The bill would require a development proponent for a de velopment of 50 or more housing units appro ved by a local government pursuant to the abo ve-described pro visions to require construction contractors to participate in an apprenticeship program or request dispatch of apprentices from a state-appro ved apprenticeship program, and to mak e specified health care e xpenditures for construction craft employees. The bill would require the development proponent to certify compliance with those requirements to the local government and to report monthly to the local go vernment that the y are in compliance with those requirements. The bill w ould subject the de velopment proponent and the construction contractors and subcontractors to specified civil penalties for

90 STATE OF CALIFORNIA

ELECTRONIC LEGAL MATERIAL

Packet Page. 120

failing to comply with those requirements, and w ould require the penalty funds to be deposited in the State Public Works Enforcement Fund. The bill would prohibit a local government from imposing any requirement, including increased fees, on the basis that the project is eligible to receive ministerial or streamlined approval. Because the bill would impose new duties on local governments, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program.

This bill w ould require the Department of Housing and Community Development to undertak e specified studies of the outcomes of the Affordable Housing and High Road Jobs Act of 2022, to publish reports on the findings of those studies, to post the reports on its internet website, and to submit the reports to the Legislature.

This bill would repeal the provisions of the Affordable Housing and High Road Jobs Act of 2022 on January 1, 2033.

The Planning and Zoning Law requires a city or county to adopt a general plan for land use de velopment within its boundaries that includes, among other things, a housing element. The law also requires a planning agenc y to provide a specified annual report after the le gislative body has adopted all or part of a general plan.

This bill would require the annual report to include specified information about applications for housing de velopments submitted pursuant to the Affordable Housing and High Road Jobs Act of 2022.

The Planning and Zoning Law also requires the Department of Housing and Community Development to notify the city, county, or city and county, and authorizes the department to notify the Attorney General, that the city, county, or city and county is in violation of state law if the department finds that the housing element or an amendment to that element, or any specified action or f ailure to act, does not substantially comply with the la w as it pertains to housing elements or that an y local go vernment has tak en an action in violation of certain housing laws.

This bill would add the Affordable Housing and High Road Jobs Act of 2022 to that list of housing laws.

The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires a lead agency, as defined, to prepare, or cause to be prepared, and certify the completion of, an environmental impact report on a project that it proposes to carry out or approve that may have a significant effect on the environment or to adopt a negative declaration if it finds that the project will not ha ve that effect.

CEQA also requires a lead agency to prepare a mitigated negative declaration for a project that may have a significant effect on the environment if revisions in the project would avoid or mitigate that effect and there is no substantial evidence that the project, as revised, would have a significant effect on the environment. CEQA does not apply to the approval of ministerial projects.

This bill w ould define “use by right” for purposes of the Affordable Housing and High Road Jobs Act of 2022, in part, as a development project that is not a project for purposes of CEQA, and the appro val process established by this bill w ould be ministerial in nature, thereby e xempting the approval of development projects subject to that approval process from CEQA.

This bill would incorporate additional changes to Section 65400 of the Government Code proposed by AB 1743, AB 2094, and AB 2653, to be operative only if this bill and an y one or a combination of AB 1743, AB 2094, and AB 2653, are enacted, and this bill is enacted last, as described.

This bill would incorporate additional changes to Section 65585 of the Government Code proposed by AB 2097 and AB 2653 to be operative only if this bill and either or both of AB 2097 and AB 2653 are enacted, and this bill is enacted last, as described.

The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.

This bill w ould pro vide that with re gard to certain mandates no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.

With regard to an y other mandates, this bill w ould provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs so mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above.

This bill would make its provisions operative on July 1, 2023.

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:

P
roviding sustainable housing opportunities for California’s essential middle-income workforce C
alifornia’s essential workforce (nurses, teachers, first responders and civil servants, among others) generally earns in excess of traditional affordable housing income limits yet not enough to sustainably reside within the communities they serve. The res ulting dislocation and “drive until you qualify” commuting patterns result in traffic, congestion, pollution, social isolation, academic underperformance and negative health outcomes.

T
he California Community Housing Agency (CalCHA) was formed in 2019 to squarely address this growing crisis. As the State’s first public agency focused exclusively on the production, preservation and protection of middle-income housing, our Essential Housing model has already created >4,000 affordable rent-restricted rental units throughout the State and has spurred the creation of additional State agencies hoping to leverage similar models to further California’s middle-income housing needs.

Program Mechanics
• Cities, counties and housing authorities become members of CalCHA • CalCHA seeks Essential Housing opportunities within member municipalities • CalCHA issues governmental revenue bonds and uses proceeds to construct or acquire properties • CalCHA assets are rent restricted to low-income and moderate-income households • CalCHA assets become exempt from property taxation
• CalCHA grants all financial upside to the underlying member jurisdiction at its direction Public Benefit Creation
In addition to being granted the financial upside of its assets, CalCHA members benefit from the immediate production of essential middle-income housing. Other programs benefits include:
• Non-displacement of existing tenants
• Up to 4% cap on annual rent increases
• No investment, cost or liability created for member jurisdictions • No use of tax credits, private activity bonds or other scarce affordable housing subsidies/resources Municipality Participation
Participation in CalCHA’s Essential Housing Program begins with the adoption of a single resolution granting:
• CalCHA Membership (no cost, no liability)
• Authorizing CalCHA to issue bonds locally (no cost, no liability) • Granting of financial upside (project-specific Public Benefit Agreements) California Community Housing Agency
CalCHA is a California joint powers authority and political subdivision of the State, specifically founded to provide, preserve and protect middle-income affordable housing projects throughout California. CalCHA’s program administrators maintain more than 30 years of related experience in bond issuance for affordable housing.

Essential Housing Program

CORE TENETS
• R
ental rates that align with the area’s
median income instead of leading rates in
the market.
• Bi-monthly r
ent payment schedules
through our Flex partnership.
• P
artnerships focused on supporting local
business and giving back to the community.

Live local without compromise.

We believe in a world where you can thrive within
the community you choose to call home.

That’s why we launched the Essential Housing Program:
comprehensive rental housing platform that aligns rental rates with an area’s average median income instead of its leading market rates. Through this program, we’re able
to offer middle-income earners rental rates that better align with their lifestyle.

THE GOAL is to create more opportunities to live locally, and in turn, create healthier, more vibrant, and more sustainable communities.

What makes
an Essential
Housing
community?
Rental Rates That Make Sense
More disposable income in your pocket means more chances for you to say “yes” to the things that matter most. By using the average median income of surrounding neighborhoods to define our rental rates, we better align cost-of-living with lifestyle.

More Local Living Options
Rising housing costs are pricing Californians out of living near where they work.

The ripple effects of long commutes impact everything from increased carbon emissions to deteriorating health, racial inequality, and homelessness. We strive to offer local living options at a price that helps our residents, and our earth, thrive.

Our Partnerships
We’re partnering with companies that concentrate on the good stuff, like creating a healthier environment, supporting local and giving back to the community.

Innovation & Improvements
We’re dedicated to infusing innovation and investment into our community to ensure that our residents take pride in where they live, and our team takes pride in where they work.
