PUBLIC HEARING
City of San Bernardino
Request for Council Action
Date: October 21, 2026
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Eric Levitt, City Manager
Department: City Manager's Office
Subject: Introduction of Ordinance No. MC-1677 Amending Chapter

12.98 of the City’s Municipal Code Related to Camping on Public Streets and Parks
Recommendation:

It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, introduce, Read by Title Only, and Waive Further Reading of Ordinance No. 1677 of the Mayor and City Council of San Bernardino, California, amending Chapter

City Manager's Comments
City manager recommends approval.

Executive Summary
Following updated state directives, the City is now welcomed to strengthen regulations regarding camping on public property. Despite the City’s ongoing efforts to address homelessness, the lingering impacts on public health, safety, and access to public spaces remain. These proposed amendments clarify camping regulations and procedures to help maintain safe and accessible public areas.

Background
The City has previously adopted ordinances to address, regulate, and enforce camping violations in various public spaces, including public parking lots and along public streets. However, the number of individuals experiencing homelessness within the City has increased significantly over the years, and as such the City’s approach must also evolve.

Discussion
The City has taken numerous steps towards addressing the homelessness issue within Packet Page. 18
the area, including applying for various public housing grants, partnering with local agencies and nonprofits to provide shelter to those in need, and developing City-owned shelters to target vulnerable populations. Even with these efforts, significant risks to public health and safety, including increased fire hazards, obstruction of public access, and public health risks remain.

Given the recent legislative updates and the City’s continued commitment to addressing homelessness through a multifaceted approach, staff believes amending the current code to clarify camping abilities will help keep the City’s public areas safe, and available for public use by all residents, visitors, families, and children alike.

Strategic Goals and Priorities
Approval of Ordinance No. 1677 aligns with Goal No. 2b “developing and implementing a community engagement plan,” and Goal No. 3a, “reducing the burden of homelessness through engagement, collaboration, and alignment with other entities.” The Mayor and City Council’s approval of the City’s ordinance gives the public a focused, aligned plan to engage with the community while improving residents' quality of life.

Fiscal Impact
No fiscal impact to the City.

OR
The fiscal impact to the City would amount to minor increases in staff costs for enforcement of the ordinance, including patrol, administrative, and storage fees.

Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, introduce, Read by Title Only, and Waive Further Reading of Ordinance No. 1677 of the Mayor and City Council of San Bernardino, California, amending Chapter

PUBLIC HEARING
City of San Bernardino
Request for Council Action
Date: October 21, 2026
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Andrea Russell, Director of Human Resources
Department: Human Resources
Subject: Introduction of an Ordinance Adjusting the Salary and Benefits for the Elected Officials
Recommendation:

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

2. If decided by the Mayor and City Council, introduce, read by title only, and waive further reading of Ordinance No. MC-1675 of the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, amending Chapter 2.82.020 of the San Bernardino Municipal Code to adjust the salary and benefits of the Mayor as recommended by the Elected Official Compensation Advisory Commission; or

City Manager's Comments
The advisory committee recommends an increase to the Mayor’s salary at an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the annual salary of a San Bernardino County Superior Court Judge. No change was made to the City Council compensation as there is a cost of living increase already built into the salary.

Packet Page. 29
Executive Summary
On September 29, 2026 the Elected Official Compensation Advisory Commission convened to review and discuss the Elected Officials compensation as recommended at the Mayor and City Council meeting on September 2, 2026, to consider options for adjusting the Mayor’s salary, including but not limited to reinstating the Mayor’s salary at an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the annual salary of a San Bernardino County Superior Court Judge; consider tying the Mayor’s salary to the San Bernardino median household income; review the compensation of the City Council and provide direction to staff about further data collection or analysis for the recommended compensation and return with recommendations for consideration at the Mayor and City Council meeting on October 21, 2026.

Background
The San Bernardino City Charter establishes the authority for setting compensation of the Mayor and City Council Members. Specifically, City Charter Article III, Section 305 titled “Compensation; Expenses” states:
“Compensation for the Mayor and Council members shall be established by ordinance following a public hearing, giving due consideration to the recommendations of an advisory commission charged with the periodic review of compensation for City-elected officials. Compensation for the Mayor shall be commensurate with that for a full-time position.

No ordinance increasing such salaries shall become effective until the date of commencement of the terms of Council members elected at the next regular election. The Mayor and Council members shall receive reimbursement for actual and necessary expenses incurred in the performance of their duties of office..”
The Mayor and City Council established the Elected Official Compensation Advisory Commission on February 21, 2018 (Ordinance MC-1463). The nine-member commission was tasked with serving in an advisory capacity to the Mayor and City Council in making recommendations relating to the compensation of city-elected officials. The commission conducts compensation surveys of city-elected officials in other California charter and/or general law cities, reviews Government Code provisions for compensation of city-elected officials and provides compensation recommendations to the Mayor and City Council pursuant to Section 305 of the City Charter. Recently, in response to direction from the City Council, the Elected Officials Compensation Advisory Commission was reactivated. The Elected Officials Compensation Advisory Commission has met six (6) times since October 2021 (October 13, 2021; November 10, 2021; November 30, 2021; January 10, 2022; March 7, 2022; and September 29, 2026).

The San Bernardino Municipal Code defines the compensation for the Mayor in Section

2.82.010 of the San Bernardino Municipal Code (titled “Compensation of Mayor”), which states:

Packet Page. 30
“Commencing with the certification of the November 2022 election, the Mayor shall receive the following compensation:

1. Annual salary of $50,000;

2. Employer health benefits contribution equivalent to that offered by the city to management employees; and

3. An auto allowance of $725 per month.

The compensation set forth herein shall be paid without regard to the number of City Council meetings attended by the Mayor. The Mayor may waive all or any portion of her or his own compensation. The compensation set forth herein is exclusive of any amounts payable to the Mayor as per day compensation for city business-related travel and further exclusive of any amounts payable to the Mayor for out of town attendance on city-related business.”
Additionally, the San Bernardino Municipal Code defines the compensation for City Council Members in Section 2.82.020 of the San Bernardino Municipal Code (titled “Compensation of City Council Members”), which states:
“Each City Council Member shall receive the following compensation:

1. Annual salary of $37,500;

2. Employer health benefits contribution equivalent to that offered by the City to management employees; and

3. An auto allowance of $725 per month.

4. An annual cost of living adjustment equivalent to that offered by the city to management employees.

The compensation set forth herein shall be paid without regard to the number of City Council meetings attended by the applicable City Council member. Any City Council member may waive all or any portion of her or his own compensation. The compensation set forth herein is exclusive of any amounts payable to a City Council member as per day compensation for city business-related travel and further exclusive of any amounts payable to a City Council member for out of town attendance on city-related business.”
Discussion
As of 7/6/2026, the annual salary for City Council members is $43,280.92.

This includes annual cost of living increases commensurate with City management employees as follows:

Packet Page. 31
• 2.7% effective 7/16/23 ($38,512.44/yr)
• 2.7% effective 7/16/24 ($39,552.24/yr)
• 3.0% effective 7/16/25 ($40,738.92/yr)
• 2.0% effective 1/16/26 ($43,280.92/yr)
The annual salary of the Mayor has not changed, and remains $50,000.

The Elected Official Compensation Advisory Commission met on September 29, 2026 to discuss the compensation and benefits for the Mayor and City Council. The Commission reviewed refreshed data compiled by staff that included the same comparator agencies for the Mayor and City Council as previously utilized.

Regarding mayoral compensation, salary data was collected from the following California cities with full-time mayors:

1. Chula Vista

2. Long Beach

3. Oakland

4. Riverside

5. San Diego

6. San Jose
Commissioners concluded that the current mayoral annual salary is significantly below the average of the 7 cities $50,000 vs. $180,961.50, and took into consideration the location and size of the cities surveyed.

On September 29, 2026, the Elected Official Compensation Advisory Commission voted 6-2 in favor of the following recommendation for the Mayor’s salary effective January 1, 2027 after one failed substitute motion to table the discussion pending further information from staff:
• Establish the Mayor’s salary at 50% of the salary of a Superior Court Judge in the County of San Bernardino.
• No change to employer benefits currently tied to City management employees.
• No change to Auto Allowance currently set at $725/month.

Regarding City Council compensation, salary data was collected from the following cities:

1. Chino

2. Corona

3. Fontana

4. Moreno Valley

5. Ontario
Packet Page. 32

6. Rancho Cucamonga

7. Redlands

8. Rialto

9. Riverside

10.Victorville

11.West Covina
Commissioners reviewed but did not make any conclusion regarding City Council annual salary, which was above the average of the above cities $43,280.91 vs. $34,253.96.

As outlined in the City of San Bernardino Charter, the City Council has the authority to adjust the compensation package of elected officials by ordinance following a public hearing, while giving due consideration to the recommendations of an advisory commission. At its September 29, 2026 meeting, the Elected Officials Compensation Advisory Commission recommended the following:

Compensation of Mayor:

The Commission voted 6-2 to:

1. Reinstate the annual salary of the Mayor to an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the annual salary of a San Bernardino County Superior Court Judge. (Currently $244,727 for a Presiding Judge)

2. No change in employer health benefits, currently equivalent to that offered by the City to management employees; and

3. No change to auto allowance, currently $725/monthly.

Compensation of City Council Members:

The commission voted 6-2 to leave the salary and benefits for City Council as is.

Strategic Goals and Priorities
Reviewing and discussing the salary of the City Council Members aligns with the City’s strategic goal of becoming an Organization of Excellence.

Fiscal Impact
Should Mayor and City Council elect to adopt Ordinance No. MC-1675 the recommendation of the Commission without any changes, the fiscal impact would be approximately $36,182 in FY 2026/27 and $72,364 in FY 2027/28.

Should Mayor and City Council elect to adopt Ordinance No. MC-1676 the recommendation of the Commission without any changes, the fiscal impact would need to be determined.

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

Request for Council Action
Date: October 21, 2026
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Telicia Lopez, City Clerk
Department: City Clerk
Subject: Approval of Various Mayor and City Council Meeting Minutes
Recommendation:

It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, approve the meeting minutes for the following dates:

1. April 15, 2021 Draft Special Meeting Minutes

2. June 15, 2021 Draft Special Meeting Minutes

3. September 2, 2026 Draft Regular Meeting Minutes
Background
Beginning in 2020, the City Clerk’s Office experienced increased workload demands while operating with limited staffing. At that time, the Office consisted of the City Clerk and one Office Specialist. The increased frequency of special meetings and transition to virtual Zoom meetings contributed to the development of a backlog in Mayor and City Council meeting minutes.

Staffing increased to six employees toward the end of 2021; however, the backlog had already developed and became increasingly difficult to address. During 2021–2022, the City Clerk’s Office was also responsible for coordinating 21 meetings related to the City’s redistricting process, in addition to implementing a new agenda management system and supporting the Primary and General Elections. The office also experienced two staff members on maternity leave at different times during 2022, further affecting available staffing capacity.

As of April 2025, there were 79 sets of outstanding Mayor and City Council meeting minutes dating from 2020 through 2024. Through continued efforts, meeting minutes for 2022 through 2026 are now current, and the remaining backlog has been reduced to 14 sets of Mayor and City Council meeting minutes.

Packet Page. 54
The City Clerk’s Office will continue prioritizing completion of the remaining backlog while maintaining current meeting minutes on a timely basis.

PRESENTATION

1. Mayor and City Council Workshop
(a) The Role of the City Council Members and Mayor under the City Charter as a matter of law and understanding municipal corporations, responsibilities to the corporation and confidentiality;
(b) Conducting meetings;
(c) An introduction to Conflict of Interests laws, including the California Political Reform Act, California Government Code Section 1090 and Common Law Bias and Fair Process; and
(d) Understanding the City’s potential liability, including tort claims, employment claims and consequences of policy making.

City Attorney Sonia Carvalho provided a legal training presentation for the Mayor and City Council regarding their roles and responsibilities. The presentation covered the City Charter and council-manager form of government, applicable federal and state laws, municipal ordinances and policies, conducting meetings, conflict-of-interest and fiduciary responsibilities, confidentiality requirements, and an overview of pending litigation. City Attorney Carvalho emphasized the importance of understanding the legal framework governing the City and maintaining clear roles between the Council as policymakers and the City Manager as the administrator responsible for day-to-day operations. City Attorney reviewed conflict-of-interest laws, including the Political Reform Act and Government Code Section 1090, and discussed requirements for disclosure, disqualification, and recusal when financial interests were involved. She also addressed common-law bias and fair-process requirements for quasi-judicial matters, emphasizing the need for impartiality, attention to the record, and avoiding the appearance of bias. Further discussed municipal liability, including claims involving personal and property damage, dangerous conditions, employee matters, and permit applicants, and advised Council Members to report potentially dangerous conditions to staff so they could be addressed and liability reduced.

Mayor Pro-Tem and City Council had no questions or discussion regarding the presentation.

Staff stated that the Planning Commission approved the project and adopted the Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring Program on July 14, 2026. Staff recommended adoption of Resolution No. 2026-144 denying the appeal and upholding the Planning Commission’s approval of the project and associated environmental documents.

Hayley Uno representative of the appellant Supporters Alliance for Environmental Responsibility (“SAFER”) presented to the Mayor and City Council requesting that the City Council grant the appeal and not approve the Verdemont Heights project, asserting that the Mitigated Negative Declaration did not comply with CEQA. She stated that SAFER’s experts identified potentially significant impacts related to special-status species, air quality, greenhouse gas emissions, and construction noise, and contended that these impacts warranted preparation of an Environmental Impact Report (EIR).

Brent McManigal, representing the applicant, requested that the City Council deny the appeal and uphold the project approval. He disputed the appellant’s claims regarding biological resources, air quality, greenhouse gas emissions, and noise, stating that the analyses did not constitute substantial evidence of significant environmental impacts. He stated that the project’s environmental analysis used appropriate methodology and standards, included required mitigation measures, and had been reviewed by City staff and the Planning Commission. He further stated that recirculation of the environmental document and preparation of an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) were not required.

City of San Bernardino
Request for Council Action
Date: October 21, 2026
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Eric Levitt, City Manager
Department: City Manager’s Office
Subject: American Rescue Plan Update and Adoption of a Resolution to Reallocate Funding (All Wards)
Recommendation:

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

1. Receive and file this report providing an update on American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA)- funded expenditures as of September 30, 2026; and

2. Adopt Resolution 2026-171 authorizing reallocations to the Navigation Center Construction in the amount of $631,935 and Seccombe Lake Park Project in the amount of $102,668.

City Manager’s Comments
The City Manager recommends approval of the Resolution authorizing reallocations.

Executive Summary
The City of San Bernardino was awarded $77,656,407 in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds, distributed in two tranches—half received in May 2021 and the remaining half in May 2022. This staff report provides an update on projects funded through ARPA funds and expenditure details totaling $69,854,847 as of September 30, 2026. The report also presents requests to reallocate ARPA funds to two (2) critical projects with identified budget shortfalls.

Background
The U.S. Department of the Treasury required ARPA funds to be obligated by December 31, 2024, and fully expended by December 31, 2026. The Mayor and City Council obligated the full $77,656,407 in ARPA funds prior to the obligation deadline. ARPA-funded projects comply with the Treasury’s final rules governing allowable investments under the Enumerated Use Categories and eligible expenditures under the Revenue Loss (Standard Allowance) category.

Discussion
To date, the City has expended $69,854,847 of its ARPA allocation, leaving a remaining balance of $7,801,560. With the federal expenditure deadline of December 31, 2026, approximately three (3) months away, timely action is necessary to ensure the full utilization Packet Page. 82
of the remaining funds. Any ARPA funds not expended by the deadline may be subject to recapture by the U.S. Department of the Treasury, placing the City at risk of forfeiting a portion of its allocated funding.

The Mayor and City Council obligated ARPA funds to twenty-six (26) projects prior to obligation deadline of December 31, 2024, in accordance with Treasury rules. Currently, eleven (11) projects are completed and funds fully exhausted totaling $24,532,050 in expenses. The list of completed projects are as follows:

Project Amount Expensed

1. Economic Development Software* $129,948

2. Emergency Nuisance Abatement $500,000

3. Entrepreneurial Resource Center $2,073,700

4. Hero Pay $5,145,000

5. Lytle Creek Soccer Fields $600,000

6. Mobile Shower & Laundry Services $150,000

7. Nicholson Park $7,080,602

8. Palm Field Purchase $2,650,000

9. Small Business Non-Profit Assistance $3,126,300

10. Temporary Housing for ASU Tenants $76,500

11. Water Infrastructure Lead Connectors $3,000,000
Total Completed Projects: $24,532,050
*Revenue Loss Category
The remaining fifteen (15) projects are either at various stages of completion or completed with remaining balance, totaling $53,124,357 in ARPA obligations. Two (2) projects are completed with a remaining balance, nine (9) projects are projected to be on track to meet the December 31, 2026 deadline while four (4) are recommended for reallocation. The City is still within the timeframe to reclassify ARPA funding after December 31, 2024.

The Treasury FAQ 17.19 - Reclassification of Obligated Funds addresses reclassification/ reallocation of excess ARPA funds and provides guidance on projects that have excess funds and were obligated by December 31, 2024, but will not ultimately be expended on the original eligible activity. The funds may be reclassified to another eligible ARPA project, provided the receiving project also had an obligation incurred by December 31, 2024.

• Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) System & Land Management System (LMS) Status: On-Track
ARPA funding for the ERP and LMS systems is obligated under the Standard Allowance category that provides broad flexibility for uses such as revenue replacement, ongoing operational expenses and other administrative costs. However, these funds may not be used for debt service, rainy-day funds, pension obligations, or legal settlements. For the ERP project, Council approved $6,000,000 in ARPA funding for implementation, associated licenses and software, and an additional $670,000 for internal staffing to support the migration process.

The remaining funds of $237,333 are recommended to be used for internal staff time during the migration process. Staff are currently dedicating about 60% of their time to the ERP migration project. ERP System is anticipated to have a go-live date of January 1, 2027, with all eligible expenditures paid prior to the deadline. ARPA funds will be fully exhausted before the expenditure deadline.

For the LMS system, Council approved $3,200,000 for implementation support and associated licenses and software. The Land Management System Implementation Project is the complete replacement of the City's existing permitting and business licensing system, which is used by multiple Departments and Divisions, including Business Registration, Building and Safety, Planning, and Public Works. The project replaces a cumbersome permitting and licensing database with a modern system that incorporates workflow management, built-in automation, and an online public portal. An item for Council approval on October 7, 2026, approved change orders due to the complexity of the implementation, adding an eighteen (18)-month Managed Services subscription to provide post-implementation technical assistance, allowing staff to refine and optimize the system's workflows and automations after go-live. Also added was an integration of the City's existing credit card processor into the system and extended support for Business Registration along with additional resources to configure an online interface that will assist customers with permit applications. The modernization is intended to improve efficiency, transparency, and service delivery by enhancing how the City manages land-related activities and making relevant information more accessible to City officials and the public. • Façade Improvements (Paintbrush Program)
Status: On Track
The Façade Improvement “Paintbrush” Program was originally allocated $1M in ARPA funding. Economic Development staff went before Council on July 15, 2026 to request reallocation of funds in the amount of $200,000 to the ERC project and the City Manager subsequently went before Council on August 5, 2026 to request a reallocation of $200,000 from the Façade Program. Of the $600,000, the program has $362,551.12 remaining in ARPA funds. The project is actively being implemented, with grant awards having been made to eligible businesses and façade improvement projects being completed and/or progressing through the City's approval, construction, reimbursement, and closeout processes. The remaining funds are associated with grant commitments and/or eligible Packet Page. 84
program expenditures that must be completed and expended by December 31, 2026.

Project completion should not be measured by the percentage of ARPA funds spent.

Based on the current status, the program is substantially underway, but it is not yet physically/service complete, because remaining funded façade projects and associated grant expenditures still need to be completed and closed out. • Graffiti Abatement
Status: Reallocation Recommended
This project currently has a balance of $562,291 in unexpended ARPA funds. $100,000 is allocated to staff salaries and benefits for abatement services that will continue through the project term and are expected to be completely exhausted by the deadline. The remaining $462,291 is recommended for reallocation to the Navigation Center due to the risk of not having the two (2) graffiti abatement trucks delivered prior to the expenditure deadline of December 31, 2026.
• Guadalupe Field (Sal Saavedra Park)
Status: Reallocation Recommended
This project is completed and has a remaining balance of $33,282 which is recommended to be reallocated to Seccombe Lake Park to address the immediate budget shortfall. • Homeless Street Outreach
Status: On Track
This project has a balance of approximately $206,207 and is projected to be fully expensed prior to the December 31st deadline. The project will continue in the new year with funding from other sources as a bridge to services while the Navigation Center construction is in progress to completion.
• Library Animaker Space
Status: On Track
The amount remaining represents $275,800 in a contract with Estate Design & Construction for modifications to the Cosand Room where the Animaker Space will be held. The remainder of funds is slated for programming use to be expended on salaries and benefits with additional staff in process of being hired, and additional curriculum purchases from Garner Holt. The Animaker Space Program is anticipated to be open and operating in late November and ARPA funds fully exhausted prior to the December 31, 2026, deadline.
• Lutheran Social Services (Homekey – Wellness Center)
Status: On Track
The Wellness Center opened in July 2026 for a comprehensive interim housing and support campus to help men transition out of homelessness. Operating costs are averaging about $250,000 a month now that the center is actively serving the community.

ARPA funds are being used as a match against the HomeKey Grant, and funds are anticipated to be fully exhausted by the expenditure deadline. • Motel Voucher Program
Status: On Track
This program operates as a core element to the City’s homeless emergency response strategy. With additional beds secured exclusively for the City in February 2026, there is an increase in utilization of hotel placements, with estimated monthly invoices averaging $60-$70K in costs. Payments that are in process and those that are forthcoming over the next three months, funds are anticipated to be fully exhausted by the end of the ARPA expenditure deadline.

• Navigation Center Construction
Status: On Track; Budget Shortfall
The project remains on track to meet key milestones, with overall completion anticipated by December 2026; however, it continues to face a funding gap due to increased project costs. Although a balance of funds remains available, approximately $1.2 million in change orders and vendor payments are pending and are expected to quickly deplete the remaining funds. Contracts with Mandeville Modular and CREDE are tied to the completion of project milestones. The goal is to fully expend ARPA allocations by the December 31, 2026, deadline, while utilizing other funding sources, including CDBG and private funds, to cover costs incurred beyond that date. • Real Time Information Center
Status: On Track
This project is almost complete, with the unspent balance of $104,167 representing the final payment for software licensing due in October 2026. • Roosevelt Bowl
Status: Reallocation Recommended
This project currently has a balance of $269,644 with approximately $100,000 encumbered for design services. Although a bid for construction is forthcoming, the expenditure deadline will not be met to utilize toward construction costs. The remaining $169,644 is recommended for reallocation to the Navigation Center. • Seccombe Lake Park Project
Status: On Track; Budget Shortfall
This project is on track to meeting expenditure ARPA deadlines with the project planned via a phased approach and braided funding. Landscape Support Services ($446,990), RHA Landscape ($392,580) and CSG ($47,321) and $420,349 in contingencies, these funds are fully committed and expected to be fully exhausted by December 2026. Due to additional needs and increased costs, this project has a budget shortfall, and staff is recommending reallocation of funds from Guadalupe Field and the Street Improvement project.
• Street Improvements
Status: Reallocation Recommended
The streets identified for this project were completed leaving a balance of $69,386 in unexpended ARPA funds. Surface transportation projects have additional requirements and a different expenditure deadline of September 30, 2026, as outlined in Treasury’s 2023 Interim Final Rule (also known as ARPA Flex). The total balance is recommended for reallocation to Seccombe Lake Park.
• Violence Intervention Program
Status: On Track
The Cal VIP Cohort 4 program is in the closeout phase with final payments to CBOs in progress as well as expenditures for a program audit and evaluation report to meet all requirements of the grant award. ARPA funds are used to satisfy the 1:1 match and are on track to be fully exhausted by December 31, 2026, in alignment with the BSCC deadline.

Following a review of unexpended funds, activity completed and in progress, and reassessed project needs, staff recommends reallocating $734,603 from four (4) projects. Two (2) critical projects have been identified with budget shortfalls, with the recommended reallocations as Packet Page. 86
follows:

Navigation Center is recommended to receive a reallocation of $631,935 • Graffiti Abatement ($462,291)
• Roosevelt Bowl Renovation ($169,644)

Seccombe Lake Park is recommended to receive a reallocation of $102,668 • Street Improvements ($69,386)
• Guadalupe Fields ($33,282)
ARPA fund expenditures as of September 30, 2026, total $69M, approximately 89% of the total award of $77.6M. Additional details and listing by project are provided in Attachment 1.

ARPA Closeout – Next Steps
Following the December 31, 2026, ARPA expenditure deadline, staff will complete the remaining project activities, reconcile expenditures and obligations, and finalize all required reporting to the U.S. Department of the Treasury. Staff will continue to monitor project closeout requirements and ensure that all remaining ARPA funds are properly accounted for and reported in accordance with Treasury requirements. Upon completion of the required reporting and closeout process, staff will return to City Council, as appropriate, with a final summary of ARPA expenditures, project outcomes, and any remaining closeout actions.

Request for Council Action
Date: October 21, 2026
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Mary Lanier, Interim Director of Community Development and Housing; George Velarde, Senior Planner
Department: Community Development & Housing
Subject: Adoption of Ordinance No. MC-1674 Setting Forth Procedures for Expediting Permitting Processing for
Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Systems (All Wards)
Recommendation:

It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California; adopt Ordinance No. MC-1674 Setting Forth Procedures for Expediting Permitting Processing for Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Systems (All Wards).

City Manager's Comments
The City Manager recommends approval.

Executive Summary
The State of California adopted Assembly Bill 1236 and Assembly Bill 970, which requires local agencies to adopt an ordinance that creates an expedited and streamlined permitting process for electric vehicle charging systems, in addition to publishing a checklist of all requirements needed for expedited review. Creation of an expedited, streamlined permitting process for electric vehicle charging stations would facilitate convenient charging of electric vehicles and help reduce the City’s reliance on environmentally damaging fossil fuels.

The City of San Bernardino currently has a checklist of all requirements needed for expedited review of electric charging facilities, which is posted on the department’s website. To be in compliance with State Law, the City of San Bernardino must adopt this ordinance or face potential legal challenges.

Background
AB 1236, codified in Government Code Section 65850.7, requires all California cities and counties to develop an expedited, streamlined permitting process for electric vehicle charging stations (EVCS). The law was developed to further the availability of Packet Page. 96
charging infrastructure to help drive the development of zero emission vehicles – the faster charging stations are deployed, the sooner California’s air quality improves, greenhouse gas emissions are reduced, and local economic benefits are captured.

Pursuant to AB 1236, cities and counties must adopt a streamlined ordinance and checklist. Current city and county streamlining status is reflected on the EVCS Streamlining Map (Attachment 2), and jurisdictions are graded based on the Permitting Electric Vehicle Charging Stations Scorecard, which includes the streamlining requirements of AB 1236.

On this map, the City of San Bernardino is shown in yellow, which indicates that the City has a checklist of all requirements needed for expedited review of electric vehicle (EV) charging facilities, but not an ordinance. Cities with ordinances and checklists are colored green. Some of those cities in the Inland Empire include: Rancho Cucamonga, Fontana, Rialto, Bloomington, Grand Terrace, Highland, and Redlands. Cities shown in red (City of Upland) are not in compliance and are potentially exposed to a lawsuit by an environmental organization named the Coalition for Clean Air.

AB 970, codified in Government Code Section 65850.71, builds California’s existing permit streamline law, AB 1236. Jurisdictions are required by AB 1236 to limit EVCS project review to health and safety requirements. AB 970 adds specific binding timelines to that review period based on the size of the project and clarifies parking requirements.

To meet AB 970 timelines and requirements of AB 1236, the city is required to provide one complete set of comments detailing all application deficiencies, which the applicant should address in a streamlined and complete manner through modifications to the existing application.

Discussion
Ordinance No. MC-1674, approving Development Code Amendment 26-14 that creates and expedited and streamlined permitting process for electric vehicle charging systems was reviewed by the Mayor and City Council at their October 7, 2026, meeting.

The Ordinance is now ready for its final reading and adoption. Pursuant to Section

19.42.040 Council Action on Amendments, amendments to the Development Code shall be adopted by ordinance and therefore become effective thirty (30) days after the second reading.

Strategic Goals and Priorities
The adoption of an ordinance setting forth procedures for expediting permitting processing for electric Vehicle Charging Systems (EVCS) aligns with Goal No. 3- Improved Quality of Life. The faster charging stations are deployed, the sooner California’s air quality improves, greenhouse gas emissions are reduced, and more local economic benefits are captured. Cleaner air quality in San Bernardino improves the overall health of the residents of San Bernardino and improves their quality of life as well.

Fiscal Impact
There are no fiscal impacts related to the adoption of this ordinance.

Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California; adopt Ordinance No. MC-1674 Setting Forth Procedures for Expediting Permitting Processing for Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Systems (All Wards).

THE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO DO ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1. Incorporation of Recitals. The above recitals are true and correct and are incorporated herein
SECTION 2. Compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act. The Mayor and City Council having independently reviewed and analyzed the record before it, including written and oral testimony, and having exercised their independent judgment, finds that there is no substantial evidence supporting a fair argument that recommending approval of Development Code Amendment 26-14 and this Ordinance No. MC-1662 will result in a significant effect on the environment, and thus the project is exempt pursuant to Section 15308.

SECTION 3. Finding of Facts – Chapter 19.21
Finding No. 1: The proposed amendment is consistent with the General Plan.

Finding of Fact: Development Code Amendment DCA 26-14 is consistent with the General Plan in that permitting electric vehicle charging stations and hydrogen vehicle fueling stations in the City with specific objective development standards, is consistent with the goals and polices of the City of San Bernardino Circulation and Natural Resources and Conservation Elements, specifically:

Policy 12.6 – Reduce the amount of vehicular emissions in San Bernardino.

The City Council acknowledges and finds the proposed Development Code Amendment to permit electric vehicle charging stations and hydrogen fueling stations by-right is reasonably related to the public welfare of the citizens of the City and surrounding region; more specifically, the proposed Development Code Amendment includes appropriate development standards to ensure that the permitted stations meet all City public health and safety standards including Building and Safety Codes.

Finding No. 2: The proposed amendment would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the City.

Finding of Fact: The adoption and implementation of a Development Code Amendment that establishes procedures for expediting permitting processing for electrical vehicle charging systems and hydrogen fuel-celling stations promotes the development of these facilities within the City and the region as a whole and has a cumulative impact of reducing emissions in a county known for warehouses and trucking activities.

Community Facilities District No. 2019-1 (Maintenance
Services): Annexation No. 55, Tax Zone No. 55 (16th Street Commercial Center located north of 16th Street and west of Turrill Avenue) (Ward 6)
Recommendation:

It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of San Bernardino, California, adopt Resolution No. 2026-172:

2. Authorizing the levy of a Special Tax therein.

3. Authorizing the Director of Finance and Management Services to amend the FY 2025/26 Operating Budget with an appropriation of $15,000 in both revenues and expenditures.

4. Set a Public Hearing for December 2, 2026.

City Manager's Comments
The City Manager recommends approval.

Executive Summary
The recommended actions are the first step of the annexation process for the proposed development into Community Facilities District (“CFD”) No. 2019-1 (Maintenance Services). The property owner has petitioned the City to annex into the City’s CFD to mitigate its impacts for maintenance service of public facilities as a result of the new Packet Page. 111
development. The special taxes will be levied annually to offset general fund expenditures related to maintenance of public improvements within and for the benefit of the development.

Background
On June 5, 2019, the Mayor and City Council approved Resolution No. 2019-81 establishing Community Facilities District No. 2019-1 (Maintenance Services) of the City of San Bernardino (the "CFD No. 2019-1" or "District") for the purpose of levying special taxes on parcels of taxable property to provide certain services which are necessary to meet increased demands placed upon the City.

On July 17, 2019, the Mayor and City Council adopted Resolution No. 2019-178, establishing CFD No. 2019-1 pursuant to the provisions of the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982 (“Act”). CFD No. 2019-1 allows for the levy of special taxes on parcels of taxable property for the purpose of providing certain services which are necessary to meet increased demands placed by development upon the City.

Discussion
Development projects are subject to conditions of approval that require projects to form/annex a maintenance district. These districts apply an annual fee or special tax upon properties within the District which provide the revenue to offset the cost of maintenance of the public improvements necessary to serve the development. The Developer has agreed to initiate and conduct the CFD annexation proceedings pursuant to the Act. To that end, the Developer has submitted a "Consent and Waiver" form, which is on file in the City Clerk's office that authorizes the City to (1) hold the election and declare election results; (2) shorten election time requirements; (3) waive analysis and arguments; (4) waive all notice requirements relating to the conduct of the election immediately following the public hearing.

The public facilities and services proposed to be financed within the territory to be annexed to the District are the following:

1. Maintenance of landscaping and other public improvements installed within the public rights-of-way; and

2. Maintenance of streets, including street sweeping, pavement management and sidewalks; and

3. City and County costs associated with the setting, levying and collection of the special tax, and in the administration of the District including the contract administration and for the collection of reserve funds.

The proposed development includes approximately 0.51 gross acres of zoned commercial property. The property is located north of 16th Street and west of Turrill Avenue. This development will include a commercial center as a new Tax Zone No. 55 Packet Page. 112
within CFD No. 2019-1, as shown in the boundary map and included in the Resolution of Intention as Exhibit “D”. In order to annex into CFD No. 2019-1, a Resolution of Intention to annex property must be approved to identify the facilities to be maintained and establish the maximum special tax for this Tax Zone. The Resolution of Intention shall also set the date and time for the public hearing.

The rate and method of apportionment of the special tax for this Tax Zone, (Tax Zone No. 55), is included as Exhibit “C” to the Resolution of Intention. The maximum annual special tax for this development has been calculated to be $4,847 per acre for FY 2026/27. Special Tax rate is proposed to escalate each year at the greater of Consumer Price Index (CPI) or 2%. Exhibit “H”, attached to the staff report is a maintenance exhibit to illustrate which services are being maintained by the CFD.

In order to annex property to CFD No. 2019-1 pursuant to the provisions of California Government Code Section 53311 et seq., the City must adopt a series of three statutorily required Resolutions and an Ordinance which are summarized below. • Resolution declaring City intent to annex territory to Community Facilities District No. 2019-1 including the boundary of the area to be annexed and the rate and method of apportionment of special taxes within the annexation area (the special tax applies only to properties within the annexation area). • Resolution calling an election to submit to the qualified electors the question of levying a special tax within the area proposed to be annexed to the District. • Resolution declaring the results of the election and directing the recording of the notice of special tax lien.
• Amend the Ordinance and order the levy and collection of special taxes in the District.

The individual property owners in the CFD will be responsible for annual payments of special taxes. Upon full completion of the development, it is estimated that there will be an annual collection of special tax revenues of approximately $2,472 to be used to pay for maintenance costs.

On June 1 of each year, every taxable unit for which a building permit has been issued within the boundaries of the CFD will be subject to the special tax for the ensuing Fiscal Year. If the anticipated costs of maintaining the facilities in any given Fiscal Year, prior to buildout of the project, exceeds the special tax revenues available from parcels for which building permits have been issued, then the special tax may also be applied to property within recorded final subdivision maps, as well as other undeveloped property within the boundaries of the CFD.

With the adoption of the Resolution of Intention, the Public Hearing would be scheduled for December 2, 2026.

Packet Page. 113
Strategic Goals and Priorities
This project is consistent with Key Target No. 1. Improved Operational & Financial Capacity and Key Target No. 4. Economic Growth & Development. This project will contribute to ensure that the City is clean and attractive and provide infrastructure designed for long term economic growth.

Fiscal Impact
All costs associated with annexation into the CFD have been borne by the Developer.

The CFD annexation will amend the FY 2025/26 Operation Budget by $15,000 in both revenues and expenditures. There is no fiscal impact to the City.

Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of San Bernardino, California, adopt Resolution No. 2026-172:

2. Authorizing the levy of a Special Tax therein.

3. Authorizing the Director of Finance and Management Services to amend the FY 2025/26 Operating Budget with an appropriation of $15,000 in both revenues and expenditures.

4. Set a Public Hearing for December 2, 2026.

Easement Located Within San Bernardino Valley College,
and Reservation of Utilities on Esperanza Street and
South K Street – Revised Public Hearing Date (Ward 3)
Recommendation:

City Manager's Comments
The City Manager recommends adoption of the Resolution.

Executive Summary
A petition to vacate a public utility easement located within San Bernardino Valley College was received on April 3, 2026, from San Bernardino Valley College, owners of a property located on the corner of Esperanza St and S K St (APNs: 0141-091-02- 0000 through 0141-091-18-0000). The stated reason for the petition to vacate this public utility easement is due to the existing easement is no longer necessary for public use since no public utilities are known to be located within the easement area.

Background
Streets and Highways Code (SHC) section 8312, gives a city legislative body the power to vacate all or part of an alley and sets forth the procedures by which the power to vacate may be executed. The requested street vacation would be conducted under the General Vacation Procedures outlined in SHC sections 8320 through 8325. First, a legislative body may initiate proceedings either on its own initiative or upon a petition or request of an interested person or persons. The initiation of proceedings starts with Packet Page. 144
fixing the date, hour, and place of the hearing, followed by publishing and posting of notices prior to the hearing. After the hearing, if the legislative body finds that the street described in the notice of hearing or petition is unnecessary for present or prospective public use, the legislative body may adopt a resolution vacating the street. The street vacation is then recorded with the County Recorder’s office.

A petition to vacate a public utility easement located within San Bernardino Valley College was received on April 3, 2026, from San Bernardino Valley College, owners of a property located on the corner of Esperanza St and S K St (APNs: 0141-091-02- 0000 through 0141-091-18-0000). The stated reason for the petition to vacate this public utility easement is due to the existing easement is no longer necessary for public use since no public utilities are known to be located within the easement area.

On May 20, 2026, the Mayor and City Council authorized staff to proceed with an investigation and analysis, as required by SHC, to vacate the street. On May 21, 2026, notices were sent out to City Departments, San Bernardino County Fire, utility providers, including the City of San Bernardino Municipal Water Department, informing them of the proposed street vacation. Staff has not received any requests to reserve existing utility easements.

Discussion

The Resolution of Intention will also direct staff to publish notices of the public hearing in the newspaper, as well as, posting notices along the proposed street vacation as required by the SHC sections 8322 and 8323.

Following the public hearing, staff will present, for the Mayor and City Council’s Consideration, a Resolution Ordering the Real Property Street Vacation 15-30-445, with reservation of utility easements therein, adopting a Categorical Exemption for the street vacation, and make a final order of vacation for the street as described in the Real Property Street Vacation.

The property vacation proceedings are not completed until the Resolution making the final order for Real Property Street Vacation 15.30-445 has been recorded with the San Bernardino County Recorder’s office pursuant to SHC section 8325. Pursuant to SHC section 8324, the resolution of vacation may provide that the vacation occurs only after conditions required by the legislative body have been satisfied and may instruct the clerk that the resolution of vacation is not recorded until the conditions have been satisfied.
