RESOLUTION NO. 2026-054
RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF SAN BERNARDINO, CALIFORNIA, AUTHORIZING THE
DIRECTOR OF FINANCE AND MANAGEMENT SERVICES TO AMEND
THE FY 2025/26 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN BUDGET WITH A
NEW ALLOCATION $161,750.00 FROM THE STORM DRAIN
CONSTRUCTION FUND FOR THE STORM DRAIN IMPROVEMENTS
PROJECT AT HILL DRIVE.
WHEREAS, on February 11, 2026, the City advertised the project and received a total of nine (9) sealed bids; and
WHEREAS, Voltaire Engineering, Inc., of Redlands, California, was determined to be the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with a total bid amount of $140,750.00; and WHEREAS, to cover construction costs, including contingencies, construction management, and administrative expenses, a total project allocation of $ 161,750.00 is required from the Storm Drain Construction Fund.
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The above recitals are true and correct and are incorporated herein by this reference.
SECTION 2. The Director of Finance and Management Services is hereby authorized to amend the FY2025/26 CIP Budget by appropriating $161,750 in expenditures from the Storm Drain Construction Fund.
SECTION 3. CEQA. As the decision-making body for the project, the City Council has reviewed and considered the information contained in the administrative record for the proposed project. Based upon the facts and information contained in the administrative record, including all written and oral evidence presented to the City Council, the City Council finds, as follows:
(1) The administrative record has been completed in compliance with CEQA, the State CEQA Guidelines, and the City’s Local CEQA Guidelines.
(2) The proposed project is exempt from the requirements of California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to Section 15301 (Class 1 – Existing Facilities) of the CEQA Guidelines because it involves minor rehabilitations to the historic building, such as roof leak repair, lighting, and fire safety. Additionally, the City Council finds this Resolution is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in that the activity is covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects which h ave the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty, as in this case, that there is no possibility that Resolution No. 2026-054

the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA.
(3) The application of the Class 1 categorical exemption is not barred by one of the exceptions set forth in the CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 because a historic building renovation does not present any unusual circumstances; would not damage scenic resources, including any resources in the area of a Scenic Highway; would not be utilized on a hazardous waste site; and would not impact historic resources of any kind; and (4) The determination of CEQA exemption reflects the independent judgment of the City Council.
SECTION 4. Severability. If any provision of this Resolution or the application thereof to any person or circumstance is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect other provisions or applications, and to this end the provisions of this Resolution are declared to be severable.
SECTION 5. Effective Date. This Resolution shall become effective immediately.
APPROVED and ADOPTED by the City Council and signed by the Mayor and attested by the City Clerk this 20th day of May 2026.
