National Mosquito Control
Awareness Week
W HEREAS, the American Mosquito Control Association has been dedicated to preserving public health and well-being through safe, environmentally sound mosquito control programs since 1935; and W HEREAS, mosquitoes are not only a nuisance but also capable of transmitting serious diseases including West Nile virus, dengue fever, Zika virus, chikungunya, and others; and
W HEREAS, in 2024, San Gabriel Valley communities reported 11 of the 18 statewide cases of dengue fever, highlighting the increasing threat of invasive Aedes mosquitoes and the potential for local transmission of tropical diseases; and
W HEREAS, the presence of mosquitoes negatively affects quality of life by limiting outdoor activities, decreasing enjoyment of parks and recreational areas, hindering outdoor work, and reducing property values; and
W HEREAS, the San Gabriel Valley Mosquito & Vector Control District works in partnership with local communities, including the City of San Dimas, to educate residents, eliminate mosquito breeding sources, and prevent mosquito-borne diseases; and W HEREAS, the proactive efforts of local vector control programs are vital to protecting public health, especially as climate conditions, urbanization, and international travel contribute to the spread of mosquito-borne illnesses;
N
OW THEREFORE, I, Mayor Emmett G. Badar, Mayor Pro Tem Eric Nakano, Councilmembers Rachel Bratakos, Ryan A. Vienna and Eric Weber do hereby proclaim the week of June 15 through June 21, 2025 as NATIONAL MOSQUITO CONTROL AWARENESS WEEK.

To: Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
For the Meeting of May 27, 2025
From: Brad McKinney, City Manager
Prepared by: Michael O'Brien, Director of Administrative Services Subject: Recieve and File the April 2025 Investment Report ____________________________________________________________________________

SUMMARY
Monthly Reporting for the City of San Dimas investment of idle funds and cash condition.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council:
• Receive and file Investment and Cash Condition report for the month of April 2025 GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES:
https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov
No

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact for the recommended action.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
It is the policy of the City of San Dimas to invest public funds in a manner that will provide an optimal combination of security and investment return while meeting the daily cash flow demands of the City and conforming to all State and local statutes governing the investment of public funds.

The priority objectives of the City’s investment activities are as follows: Safety, liquidity and returns.

The City’s investment portfolio as of April 30, 2025 maintained liquid cash in the amount of $18,454,013.18 held between BMO Harris, the City and LAIF and the CALTRUST Liquidity Fund

Page 30 ends

Receive and File the April 2025 Investment Report Page 2 For the Meeting of May 27, 2025
which amounts to just over 21% of the portfolio to provide the cash flow necessary for City payroll and operating expenditures as well as large capital project expenses and unforeseen emergencies that may occur come up throughout the year. The following chart displays the total investments and weighted average yield per investment category:

The City’s Banking Services Provider BMO Harris provides a fully collateralized checking account whose funds are used to make cash payments for City payroll and operational expenses. The City performs daily bank reconciliations to assure adequate cash is held in the checking account for upcoming expenditures. Cash held in the account earns income credits that accumulate at a rate of .75% which offsets banking service charges that are charged each quarter to the city. As of June 10, 2024, the City opened a collateralized money market account BMO Harris.

Petty Cash is held at City facilities for cashiering purposes and to reimburse small dollar expenditures between $0.01 and $50.00.

The Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) is considered a Local Agency Investment Pool and acts much like a money market account. Funds can be deposited and withdrawn without penalty.

The pool invests funds in short-term securities and can produce returns at rates like money markets but is considered more secure.

CALTRUST is a public agency that provides investment funds that are liquid, short term, and medium term. The assets held by CALTRUST are managed by State Street Global Advisors.

Since the City first invested with CALTRUST in August of 2010, buying into the Medium-Term Fund. The City has made various contributions throughout the years as well as reinvested any accumulated interest earnings throughout the life of the fund.

In total the weighted average cost of investing in CALTRUST is $9.99. Currently due to increasing interest rates driving market rates down for assets already held, the share price of the fund as of 4/30/2025 was $9.86. Until interest rates decline to the point that share price would increase to

Page 31 ends

Receive and File the April 2025 Investment Report Page 3 For the Meeting of May 27, 2025
$9.99 or above, the City would be recognizing a loss on sale. However, the City could pull out funds at any time if liquidity needs arose.

Beginning in the month of December 2023, the City opened a liquid fund with CALTRUST which is not subject to market rate adjustments due to the type of investments utilized. The fund yielded

4.41% for the month of April, out yielding LAIF by .13%. The City intends to take advantage of the high yielding short term investments until yields are no longer inverted The City Treasurer also utilizes Brokers to purchase investment securities such as Government Sponsored Enterprises (Agency Bonds), Corporate Bonds, U.S. Treasuries and Negotiable CD’s and Municipal Bonds.

The investment policy and California Government Code Section 53600.3 allows the City to invest 30% of its portfolio in Certificates of Deposit and 20% of its portfolio in Corporate Bonds through Brokers. U.S. Treasuries and Government Sponsored Enterprises (Agency Bonds) have no investment limits.

The following is a breakdown of the total invested in each type of investment along with its percentage of the portfolio:

Additionally, per the Investment Policy, the City has an established maturity matrix with the investment ranges as follows:

Maturity Range Guideline Portfolio Percentage
The City’s current investment maturity range is as follows:

Page 32 ends

Receive and File the April 2025 Investment Report Page 4 For the Meeting of May 27, 2025
The weighted average maturity for all City investments is 2.67 years. Short term investments with maturity within six months continues to draw higher yields; however, longer-term yields have been increasing making investing in longer term assets more appealing.

Specific details pertaining to the City‘s investment names, CUSIP #’s, coupon and purchase yields, maturity dates, par and book values are included in the Investment and Cash Condition Report attachment.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Pursuant to CEQA guidelines Section 15061 (b)(3), CEQA does not apply to this item because there is no potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Therefore, no additional environmental review is needed at this time.

Agenda Item Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
For the Meeting of May 27, 2025
From: Brad McKinney, City Manager
Prepared by: Michael O'Brien, Director of Administrative Services Subject: Establishing the 2025-26 Appropriations Limit Calculation ____________________________________________________________________________

SUMMARY
Council confirmation of the factor used for calculating the Annual Appropriations Limit for the 2025-26 fiscal year.

RECOMMENDATION
City Staff recommends that the City Council
• Approve Resolution 2025-24, establishing the calculation factor for the 2025-26 Appropriations Limit.

GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES:
https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov
No

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact when the tax base is below the Appropriations Limit. It is currently well below the established threshold.

BACKGROUND
The “Gann Initiative” (established by 1979’s Proposition 4) insured voters that limits were placed on all State and Local government appropriations or expenditures. After the passage of Proposition 13, a group of citizens were concerned that state spending increases would prompt California lawmakers to increase other taxes to compensate for the reduction in property tax revenues. The Gann Limit was proposed as a mechanism to limit State and Local spending. In June 1990, the voters of California approved Proposition 111, which revised the annual adjustment factors applied to the 1986-87 appropriations limit and each year thereafter.

Page 39 ends

Establishing the 2025-26 Appropriations Limit Calculation Page 2 For the Meeting of May 27, 2025
Pursuant to Article XIII B of the State Constitution and Section 7910 of the State Government Code, all government entities must adopt an annual Appropriations Limit. The Gann Appropriations Limit specifies that appropriations funded by taxes may be increased annually by the highest change in California per capita income or nonresidential assessed valuation and the change in San Dimas population or Los Angeles County population.

The City Council is required to confirm, each fiscal year, the factor used for calculating the annual Appropriation Limit.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
For the 2025-26 Appropriations Limit, the City will be using the County of Los Angeles population percent change of 0.30, which is higher than the -0.05 percent change of the City population along with the California per capital cost of living change of 6.44% as growth factors in computing the 2025-26 appropriations limit. This will result in an increased Appropriations Limit of $107,457,233, which is $7,089,204 higher than the previous fiscal years total of $100,368,029, and well above the approximate budget of $31,300,000 in taxes to be received by the City from all funds in the 2025-26 fiscal year.

ALTERNATIVES
Council could elect to deny the appropriation limit calculation, which would result in the City’s noncompliance and may result in the return of taxes collected to the residents, severely limiting the City’s ability to deliver services.

Respectfully submitted,
Michael O'Brien
Director of Administrative Services

Agenda Item Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
For the Meeting of May 27, 2025
From: Brad McKinney, City Manager
Prepared by: Michael O'Brien, Director of Administrative Services Subject: Adopt Ordinance 1323 Establishing Chapter 5.120 – Film Permit Requirements ____________________________________________________________________________

SUMMARY
Ordinance 1323 establishes a comprehensive framework for regulating filming activity in the City of San Dimas by adding Chapter 5.120 to the Municipal Code. This ordinance clarifies permit requirements, sets forth conditions and exemptions for filming activity, outlines responsibilities of permit holders, and establishes enforcement procedures.

The ordinance was introduced and received first reading at the City Council meeting on April 22, 2025. In accordance with Government Code Section 14999.21, the ordinance was submitted to the California Film Commission for review. The City did not receive a response from the Commission; therefore, no changes are being proposed to Ordinance 1323 as originally introduced.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council:
• Adopt Ordinance 1323, An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of San Dimas, County of Los Angeles, California, Adding Chapter 5.120 of the San Dimas Municipal Code Regarding Film Permit Requirements.

GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES:
https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov
No

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no direct fiscal impact associated with adopting the ordinance. However, the ordinance establishes authority for the City to collect application fees and recover costs for City services related to permitted filming activities.

Adopt Ordinance 1323 Establishing Chapter 5.120 – Film Permit Requirements Page 2 For the Meeting of May 27, 2025

BACKGROUND
The City of San Dimas has historically welcomed filming activity; however, existing regulations are limited. To promote the City as a filming destination while ensuring proper oversight, staff developed a new ordinance that:
• Aligns with best practices and State guidelines established by the California Film Commission.
• Provides clarity on when permits are required and exemptions that apply. • Establishes a formal application process and criteria for approval. • Defines insurance, indemnification, and cost recovery requirements. • Enables enforcement mechanisms to address violations.

On April 11, 2025, the City submitted the draft ordinance to the California Film Commission. To date, no response or findings have been received from the Commission. Government Code Section 14999.21 requires the Commission to report its findings within five working days of receiving the draft. Consequently, in accordance with this Government Code Section, the City may proceed with adoption, as no comments were received within the specified timeframe.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
The ordinance provides a balanced regulatory framework for facilitating filming activity in the City.

Key features include:
• Permit Requirement and Exemptions: A permit is required for commercial filming activities that impact public property or involve exclusive control of spaces. Exemptions are provided for personal filming, news media, and student projects not requiring special accommodations.
• Permit Process and Conditions: Applicants must submit detailed permit applications subject to review and approval by the City Manager or designee. The ordinance outlines specific conditions to minimize impacts to public safety, traffic, and surrounding properties. • Insurance and Indemnification: All permittees must provide proof of general liability insurance and agree to indemnify the City for any claims arising from filming activity. • Fees and Cost Recovery: The ordinance authorizes the City to impose application fees and collect reimbursements for personnel and services provided to support filming. • Enforcement: Violations may be pursued as either infractions or misdemeanors.

Administrative penalties and remedies under existing Municipal Code sections will also apply.

Adoption of this ordinance will enable the City to responsibly manage filming activities, protect public resources, and encourage production in a transparent, efficient manner.

ALTERNATIVES
The Council may elect to pursue either of the following options:
• Approve the ordinance as presented.
• Provide direction to staff for modifications and continue the item. • Do not adopt the ordinance and maintain current filming regulations.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN DIMAS,

COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING MUNICIPAL
CODE TEXT AMENDMENT 24-11, A REQUEST TO AMEND THE CITY OF SAN DIMAS MUNICIPAL CODE TITLE 18 AS NECESSARY TO ELIMINATE

THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN REVIEW BOARD
WHEREAS, an Amendment to the San Dimas Municipal Code has been duly initiated by the City of San Dimas; and
WHEREAS, the Amendment is described as a Municipal Code Text Amendment to amend the City of San Dimas Municipal Code, Title 18 as necessary to eliminate the Development Plan Review Board; and
WHEREAS, the Amendment would affect City wide; and
WHEREAS, notice was duly given of the public hearing on the matter and that public hearing was held on December 19, 2024 at the hour of 6:00 p.m., and at such meeting staff requested the item be continued to the next regularly scheduled meeting of January 16, 2025, and at such meeting staff again requested the Planning Commission continue the item to the next regularly scheduled meeting of February 20, 2025, which the Planning Commission granted and with all testimony received being made a part of the public record; and WHEREAS, notice was duly given of the public hearing on the matter and that public hearing was held on May 15, 2025, at the hour of 7:00 p.m., with all testimony received being made a part of the public record; and
WHEREAS, the proposed amendments will also be consistent with one of the recommendations from the Development Process Performance Audit that was completed in 2023 by Matrix Consulting Group. Based on the consultant’s assessment and analysis, they recommended that the City Staff re-allocate DPRB decision authority to either the Director/Planning staff or to the Planning Commission, with largely technical decisions delegated to Staff, while more complex decisions delegated to the Planning Commission.

WHEREAS, all requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act and the City’s Environmental Guidelines have been met for the consideration of whether the project will have a significant effect on the environment.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the evidence received at the hearing, and for the reasons discussed by the Commissioners at the hearing, the Planning Commission now finds as follows:

A. The proposed Municipal Code Text Amendment will not adversely affect adjoining property as to value, precedent or be detrimental to the area.

The proposed Municipal Code Text Amendments are intended to eliminate duplicative processes, reduce procedural ambiguity, and improve efficiency for applicants. The proposed amendments will not adversely affect property values, establish negative precedents, or result in detrimental impacts to the community. Instead, the proposed

Page 53 ends

Ordinance 1324 Page 2
Amend The City Of San Dimas Municipal Code Title 18 As Necessary To Eliminate The Development Plan Review Board.
amendments seeks to promote a more efficient and transparent review process by directing development project evaluations to the appropriate review bodies and eliminating unnecessary procedural steps and saving the applicant’s time.

B. The proposed Municipal Code Text Amendment will further the public health, safety and general welfare.

The proposed amendments advance the general welfare of San Dimas by refining the review process to remove redundancies and reduce confusion in the application procedures. It eliminates the previously required steps of review by either the Development Plan Review Boards, thereby creating a more efficient and streamlined approach. This ensures that applications are processed in a manner that is clear, consistent, and supportive of public health, safety, and welfare.

C. The proposed Municipal Code Text Amendment is consistent with the General Plan.

The proposed amendments are aligned with the following goals from the General Plan.

Housing Element
a. Goal Statement HE-3.3 seeks to provide flexibility in development and design standards to accommodate new models and approaches to encourage mixed uses, live/work, accessory dwellings, and other types of housing. b. Goal Statement HE-3.4 aims to maintain an efficient entitlement process with coordinated permit processing, objective design review and standards, and environmental clearance procedures.

NOW, THEREFORE, the CITY COUNCIL of the CITY OF SAN DIMAS, California, does ordain as follows:
