Request for Council Action
Date: August 20, 2025
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Eric Levitt, City Manager
Department: Economic Development
Subject: Approve Amendment No. 1 to the Lease Agreement with Casa Ramona, Inc., Regarding 1543 W. 8th Street, for a
Satellite Animal Shelter – Annual Lease Amount $130,000 (Ward 1)
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, adopt Resolution No. 2025-356:
1. Authorizing the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 1 to the Lease Agreement with Casa Ramona, Inc. for the property located at 1543 W. 8th Street, San Bernardino, California, to serve as a Satellite Animal Shelter for pet adoptions on behalf of the City of San Bernardino, extending the lease term for five years through September 30, 2030, with a month-to-month conversion at the end of the term; and
2. Authorizing the Director of Finance and Management Services to amend the FY 2025/26 Animal Services Budget in the amount of $130,000, appropriated for expenses.
Executive Summary
The proposed action involves extending the lease agreement for five years between the City of San Bernardino and Casa Ramona, Inc., for approximately 7,175 square feet of office space. This facility will continue to function as a Satellite Animal Shelter focused on pet adoptions, providing vital accommodations for adoptable animals and alleviating overcrowding at the main animal shelter. Amendment No. 1 will support the City of San Bernardino Animal Shelter throughout its ongoing renovations. The $130,000 annual lease cost will be funded through the Animal Services Fund, with a portion ($60,450) reimbursed by other contract cities according to the executed agreements.
Packet Page 2075
Background
Casa Ramona Inc. owns a commercial office building located at 1543 W. 8th Street in San Bernardino, California. This property, currently leased by the City of San Bernardino, plays a vital role in addressing overcrowding at the City’s Animal Shelter.
The facility has become essential in accommodating the increasing number of animals associated with the Regional Partnership Agreement. The current lease agreement with Casa Ramona Inc. expires on September 30, 2025.
With 7,175 square feet of space distributed across two suites on a 1.30-acre site, the property provides sufficient capacity to support these critical needs. The Animal Services Department has an ongoing requirement for additional space, and this location offers the ideal setting to house approximately 80 dogs and 150 cats as they prepare for adoption.
The City has demonstrated a long-term commitment to the property by making substantial investments to ensure it is well-suited for the specialized needs of a Satellite Animal Shelter. These enhancements include the installation of a clinic sink for proper animal waste disposal, charcoal air filters to mitigate odors and reduce bacterial exposure, and updates to the Fire Life Safety system, including a new control panel and pressure control valves. Additionally, Acrovyn wall protection has been installed throughout all exam rooms, hallways, and other essential areas. Each improvement has been carefully designed to optimize functionality and support the health and wellbeing of the animals in the City’s care.
Discussion
Amendment No. 1 to the Lease Agreement with Casa Ramona, Inc. for the Satellite Animal Shelter will extend the term of the current lease by five years, ending on September 30, 2030, with a month-to-month conversion option at the end of the term.
The lease rate will remain at $1.50 per square foot for approximately 7,175 square feet of office space, resulting in a total annual cost of $130,000.00. The agreed-upon rate and terms are consistent with the current lease agreement.
The annual lease cost of $130,000 will be funded through the Animal Services Fund, with $60,450 of that amount reimbursed by other contract cities in accordance with executed agreements. Each city will be billed for its share of actual costs, including any costs associated with the lease of this building. It should be noted that partner city agreements are not currently updated to fully reflect the increased costs of the regional partnership. All new costs associated with these partnerships will result in future budget amendments to fully capture operational expenses. Additionally, the Department will be bringing an amendment to the regional partnership agreement to the Mayor and City Council for approval in September to address the additional fees and to recover indirect costs associated with the partnership.
Packet Page 2076
Casa Ramona is amenable to extending a long-term lease agreement with the City.
This will ensure the continued stability needed for the City to maintain operations while completing renovations at the City’s existing facilities.
By extending the lease, the City of San Bernardino can reinforce its commitment to animal welfare and demonstrate its dedication to improving the lives of adoptable animals and the families who welcome them. The facility’s strategic location and design make it an irreplaceable asset in achieving long-term goals for the humane and responsible care of adoptable animals.
2025-2026 Strategic Targets and Goals
The request for an amendment to the agreement with Casa Ramona, Inc. aligns with Strategic Target #1 – Improved Operational & Financial Capacity by creating a framework for spending decisions and Strategic Target #3 – Improved Quality of Life by occupying and utilizing a previously vacant building.
Fiscal Impact
The Animal Services Fund’s expense budget will be increased by $130,000, of which $60,450 will be reimbursed by other contract cities. The remaining $69,550 will be funded by the City’s General Fund. Animal Services is highly dependent on a large contribution from the General Fund, and this increase represents an additional impact to General Fund resources.
Below is a 5-year projection of the costs, including the 3% CPI annual lease increase for the City and the partners as well as the cumulative cost to the city and partners for the lease.

Request for Council Action
Date: August 20, 2025
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: C. Jeannie Fortune, Interim Director of Finance & Management Services; Eric Levitt, City Manager
Department: Finance & Management Services
Subject: Review of Administrative Budget Transfers From April 1, 2025, Through June 30, 2025 (All Wards)
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, receive and file all listed administrative budget transfers from April 1, 2025, through June 30, 2025.
Executive Summary
Finance & Management Services requests the Mayor and City Council to review and file department to department, administrative budget transfers made from April 1, 2025, through June 30, 2025.
Background
On May 4, 2022, the Mayor and City Council adopted Ordinance No. MC-1568 which amended Section 3.05.010 in the Municipal Code regarding budget transfers. Specifically, the amendment to the ordinance nullified the not-to-exceed amount of $25,000 per budget transfer; authorized the Director of Finance & Management Services to approve budget transfers within a department’s personnel budget into their operating budget; authorized the Director of Finance & Management Services to approve department to department budget transfers; established that budget transfers will not increase or decrease a department’s approved budget, nor will it increase or decrease the approved fund budget without council approval; and stated that any cumulative amount of more than $5,000 transferred between departments in a 12-month period must be reported to the Mayor and City Council during the regular Quarterly Report.
Discussion
Budget transfers are requests received by Finance & Management Services from departments to move funds from one account to another after the adoption of the original budget. Transfers occur when a department needs to correct its originally adopted budget Packet Page 2098
or move funds to accommodate a change in the department’s planned expenditures.
When processing budget transfers, Finance & Management Services verifies that the transfer properly allocates resources based on the strategic objectives and goals set forth by the Mayor and City Council and reflects the priorities of the community.
The table below provides a list of the administrative transfers that have been processed.

The transfer of $136,211.87 from the City Manager’s Office to Finance & Management Services reallocates the budget for the Auditor II position. The Auditor II position was reclassified to a Principal Accountant in support of departmental restructuring and realignment with operational priorities. This reclassification reflects the evolving needs of the Finance & Management Services department and aligns with the strategic goal of strengthening internal financial oversight. The Principal Accountant will provide increased capacity for financial reporting, audit preparation, and internal controls, supporting the City's broader objective of enhancing fiscal accountability and operational efficiency.
The transfer of $22,698.00 from the City Manager’s Office to Economic Development serves as the City’s required matching contribution for the Love Your Block Grant. While the project originally designated $18,000.00 in grant funding for resident-led community improvement initiatives, a total of $40,698.00 was needed to support all eligible and submitted projects. The City Manager’s Office committed the remaining $22,698.00 through departmental savings to ensure all qualifying applicants could be funded. This transfer will fulfill the match requirement and ensure the necessary resources are allocated to each approved project.
The transfer of $998,787.09 from the Capital Improvement Program to Public Works reallocates grant funds for the Lytle Creek Park project. Upon further evaluation, the scope of work was determined to align more closely with ongoing maintenance activities rather than capital improvements. As a result, the funding was transferred to the Operations & Maintenance Division, allowing the department to directly manage the funds. This reallocation provides greater flexibility to support a more dynamic and responsive maintenance strategy.

2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
Authorization of this file and receive item aligns with three of the adopted 2021-2025 Key Strategic Targets and Goals. Finance & Management Services reporting on departmental administrative budget transfers completed within the quarter that meet the requirements of the Mayor and City Council helps Improved Operational & Financial Capacity by effectively creating a framework for spending decisions. Administering budget transfers meets the Focused, Aligned Leadership and Unified Community goal by developing and implementing a community engagement plan where the community and staff actively adapt to ensure needs of the community are fulfilled. Improved Quality of Life is met by ensuring that service levels are funded proactively to integrate customer-service orientation and metrics into all City operations.
Fiscal Impact
There is no General Fund impact to the City.
Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, receive and file all listed administrative budget transfers from April 1, 2025, through June 30, 2025.

From: Rolland Kornblau, Director of Information Technology; Eric Levitt, City Manager
Department: Information Technology
Subject: Approve Professional Services Agreements for Video Production and Post-Production in an amount not to
exceed $366,060 (All Wards)
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California:
1. Approve the award of contracts to the four selected Vendor’s under RFQ F-25- 4036; and
2. Authorize the City Manager to execute Professional Services Agreements with VideoFP in an amount not to exceed $88,100; with Alejandro Villanueva in an amount not to exceed $88,960; with Joseph Fernandez in an amount not to exceed $99,000; and with Fire Starter Studios in an amount not to exceed $90,000 over a two-year period; and

Executive Summary
The Information Technology Department seeks approval to award contracts totaling $366,060 over two years for professional video production and post-production services under RFQ F-25-4036. These services will support citywide communication efforts, including community updates, student recognition, sports coverage, and economic development messaging. Following a competitive procurement process, four vendors were selected to meet the City’s diverse media needs. Funding is fully allocated in the FY 2025/26 budget, with no impact to the General Fund. Approval will authorize execution of contracts and issuance of purchase orders to ensure timely Packet Page 2140
implementation across all wards.
Background
In alignment with the City's commitment to responsible and effective use of public funds, the Purchasing Division issues a Request for Quotes (RFQ) every two years to secure high-quality, professional video production and post-production services. Each selected vendor enters into a one-year agreement with the option of a one-year extension, at the City’s discretion. The RFQ structure allows for maximum flexibility by enabling prospective vendors to bid on specific services or any combination of services, ensuring comprehensive coverage while optimizing value. The city may select multiple vendors to fulfill the scope of services efficiently and effectively.
Discussion
The Purchasing Division conducted a competitive Request for Quotes (RFQ) process launched on April 8, 2025, with a May 1, 2025, deadline. Six qualified bids were received and evaluated based on the City's selection criteria, prioritizing lowest responsive and responsible bidders capable of meeting the City's comprehensive video production requirements.
The recommended contract structure provides maximum operational flexibility through:

SCOPE OF WORK: For the past nine years, Joseph Fernandez has successfully delivered sports programming to the City of San Bernardino in a variety of ways; including but not limited to live sports broadcasts, weekly high school football show and the Sports Weekly program. The methods and strategies utilized the past nine years will continue to guide us in 2025-2026 while also remaining open-minded to improve practices for video production.
As it pertains to Sports Weekly, Joseph Fernandez delivers three to four segments, totaling approximately 30 minutes, to the City of San Bernardino every Sunday night. The expectation is to publish these segments during the following week to the IEMG YouTube Channel while also using these segments to produce a half-hour program that airs on the City of San Bernardino TV Cable Channel. The Sports Weekly program contains exclusive interviews, highlights from local games, features on local athletes and coaches and scores from around the area. The content of the show largely comes from the relationships we have built with the schools in San Bernardino and the access they provide. We are able to provide coverage of games on campus, interview athletes and coaches and highlight different teams to frame high school sports in a positive light. Joseph Fernandez shoots and edits the video for Sports Weekly, writes script, and post-produces each segment complete with graphics before delivering to IEMG and the City of San Bernardino.
As it pertains to the high school football show Sports Weekly LIVE, Joseph Fernandez delivers a LIVE onehour program for at least, but not limited to, 12 weeks during the high school football season. Sports Weekly LIVE consists of highlights and interviews from high school football games in San Bernardino and associated leagues. Joseph Fernandez coordinates the coverage each week of high school football in order to cover all the local games. We shoot and edit video in preparation for the live football show which airs once per week. Once the show is finished, it’s archived on the YouTube Channel and prepped for replay on the TV cable channel.
Packet Page 2206
Page | 3
Not only does Joseph Fernandez provide coverage of the games, but he is also in-charge of the live broadcasts as the show is streamed to the IEMG YouTube Channel. Sports Weekly LIVE is the only high school football show in the Inland Empire and routinely gets more views than any other content on the IEMG YouTube Channel. When people watch Sports Weekly LIVE, they also see PSAs that showcase the City of San Bernardino. By design, we use the football show as a vehicle to spotlight some of the many services and programs that the City of San Bernardino has to offer. We know that more people watch football than anything else on IEMG, so we use that to our advantage to highlight the video PSAs produced by the staff of IEMG.
As it pertains to live streaming games, Joseph Fernandez is committed to covering local high school and college games and providing live stream to the IEMG YouTube Channel. Joseph Fernandez provides all of the necessary equipment, including Mac computer, cameras, microphones, lights, cables (HDMI, SDI, XLR, ethernet), headsets, switcher, audio mixer, tables, chairs, EZ-ups and fans if necessary. LIVE games covered by Joseph Fernandez for IEMG including San Bernardino Valley College football, high school football, high school soccer, high school basketball, high school baseball and high school softball. In each instance, Joseph Fernandez is responsible for coordinating with the CIF Southern Section office to obtain live streaming rights for the high school games. Specifically, to SBVC, Joseph Fernandez is responsible for coordinating with the college’s athletic director on live stream set-up including location, internet access and power supply. As in year’s past, Joseph Fernandez intends to live stream the five home football games for SBVC and no-less than a dozen high school games throughout the high school sports calendar. Joseph Fernandez will communicate with IEMG to target some of the top games and teams in the City of San Bernardino for live coverage. The games will be LIVE streamed to the IEMG YouTube Channel and later replayed on the TV cable channel.

These short films, produced under a federal contract, captured artists and organizations in all 50 states and U.S. jurisdictions. The result was a vast library of footage, which we later repurposed into custom social content under a separate NEA contract, showcasing our ability to scale, organize, and creatively reimagine assets across platforms.
Our series National Endowment for the Arts: United States of Arts, produced under a federal contract, earned back-to-back Primetime Emmy® nominations—unprecedented for an independent studio in a category usually dominated by national networks. It’s a testament to the level of quality and care we bring to every project we take on.
Fire Starter Studios (certified SBE, WBE, and DBE) offers end-to-end production services:
creative consulting, scripting, shooting (including by FAA licensed Drone pilots), motion graphics, sound mixing, and final mastering for all platforms—from social media to cable broadcast. We maintain an extensive and well-organized footage library for long-term projects with clear logs and transcripts. Whether highlighting capital improvement projects, promoting economic development, or helping residents connect with city services, we’re here to make the City of San Bernardino look and sound its best.
We deliver broadcast-quality content that resonates on time and on budget! Packet Page 2247

City of San Bernardino RFQ F-25-4036 FIRE STARTER STUDIOS Professional Video Production and Post Production Services UEI: PA5SH2TL2AA7 5 U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service
Role of the firm: Fire Starter Studios was contracted to take pre-existing virtual interview footage and do all the work necessary to deliver a completed film.
Dollar value of the services provided: $52,650
Dollar value of the total contract fee: $52,650
Description of services provided: The USDA Forest Service needed a production company to create a cohesive narrative of the Evolution of their Serious Accident Review process from one that looks to find fault to one that seeks to learn from accidents and help stop them from happening in the future. They had hundreds of hours of interviews with more than 60 individuals conducted during COVID over Microsoft Teams and wanted to turn that into a narrative, documentary-style film. Fire Starter Studios combed through the interviews, presented an outline, and then crafted a story-driven narrative highlighting firsthand experiences and remembrances. The resulting film offers both the factual account, not just the evolution of the serious accident review process within the Forest Service, but why and how it happened, what obstacles were faced, from whom, and how those obstacles were overcome.
Even though for this project we were working backwards, crafting a completed film out of preexisting pieces, the skillset and desired outcome are the same. Convey the essential learning information in a way that resonates with the viewer and teaches the desired content.
