Agenda Item Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
For the Meeting of June 9, 2026
From: Brad McKinney, City Manager
Prepared by: Travis Sais, Assistant City Manager
Subject: Approve the Second Amendment to the Agreement with Aleshire & Wynder, LLP for City Attorney Legal Services
____________________________________________________________________________
SUMMARY
The City Attorney’s Office is requesting that the City Council approve an amendment to the Agreement with Aleshire & Wynder, LLP for City Attorney Legal Services. If approved, the amendment would take effect on July 1, 2026, and would transition general services from hourly billing to a monthly flat-fee retainer of $20,000. The amendment also updates the hourly rate schedule for special services and litigation, and establishes an annual rate adjustment tied to the Consumer Price Index (CPI), capped at 4% beginning July 1, 2027, and each July 1 thereafter.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council:
• Approve the Second Amendment to the Agreement with Aleshire & Wynder, LLP GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES:
https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov
Yes
FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed amendment transitions the City to a $20,000 monthly flat fee for general legal services effective July 1, 2026. This creates a predictable annual expenditure of $240,000 covering routine municipal legal services and City Council meeting attendance. For litigation, special services, and specialized legal support, the fiscal impact will fluctuate based on the volume and complexity of active cases.

For the Meeting of June 9, 2026
The current and proposed new rates are as follows:
Service Category Current Rate (eff. 1/1/2024) Proposed (eff. 7/1/2026) General (1st 40 hrs.) $245
General (over 40 hrs.) $260

Bonds / Public Financing $415 $495
Paralegals $168 $200
Law Clerks $150 $170
Document Clerks $74 $110
Rate Adjustment
Mechanism Subject to Council approval CPI with 4% cap
Special services include rent control, affordable housing, successor agency work, municipal finance matters other than bonds, environmental and toxics, water, labor & employment, energy, new franchises, utilities and telecommunications, solid waste, litigation other than code enforcement, mobile home matters, drafting and negotiating complex agreements, and similar matters. All other matters, including those not listed above, are considered general services.
Future budget cycles are proposed to include an annual adjustment tied to the Consumer Price Index (CPI), capped at 4% beginning July 1, 2027, and each July 1 thereafter. Staff has determined that the $350,000 allocated in the Fiscal Year 2026-27 City Attorney budget should be sufficient to cover these proposed cost adjustments.
BACKGROUND
Aleshire & Wynder, LLP has served as the City Attorney for San Dimas since 2014. The firm specializes in municipal law and currently serves nearly 30 cities. Over the past decade, the firm has developed institutional knowledge regarding San Dimas’s history, ordinances, and community needs.
City Attorney, Jeff Malawy of Aleshire & Wynder, LLP, advises the City Council and City staff, and manages legal matters for the City. Aleshire & Wynder, LLP provides San Dimas with comprehensive municipal law experience and expertise. The firm has expertise and experience with general, everyday legal services needed by local government which includes the following:
Brown Act requirements, Public Records Act, purchasing and contracting, ordinance preparation, new law updates, affordable housing and successor agency issues, property acquisition and sale, property management, complex development projects, ethics and conflicts, public works and construction contracting, CEQA and environmental regulations, planning and community development, code enforcement, taxes and assessments, public financing (bonds and community

facility districts [CFD]), employment negotiations, storm water, and litigation involving land use and development, constitutional, and other legal matters.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
The proposed rate adjustment is the first since January 2024. The firm cites escalating operational costs—including competitive salaries, rent, and health insurance—as the primary drivers for the request, noting that these increases are necessary to retain qualified attorneys.
The most significant changes to the contract include: (1) the introduction of a $20,000/month flat fee for unlimited general services; (2) updates to the hourly rate schedule for special services and litigation; and (3) an annual rate adjustment tied to the Consumer Price Index (CPI), capped at 4% beginning July 1, 2027, and each July 1 thereafter. Basic services covered under the retainer include attendance at regular and special City Council meetings, review of contracts and ordinances, day-to-day legal advice and consultation to staff and City Council on matters of general municipal law, Brown Act, and Public Records Act, conflict of interest and ethics opinions, and Public Works and Planning advice. The proposed retainer provides the City with budget certainty and unlimited access to these core legal services at a fixed monthly cost.
Aleshire & Wynder, LLP notes in its request that the proposed $20,000 monthly retainer is lower than the flat fees currently paid by several neighboring jurisdictions, as shown in the table below.

Aleshire & Wynder, LLP further states in its request that this proposal is designed to provide cost predictability, acknowledge the fiscal realities that municipalities face, and maintain high quality of legal services and expertise for the City. According to Aleshire & Wynder, LLP, the proposed
Approve Second Amendment to the Agreement with Aleshire & Wynder, LLP for City Attorney Legal Services Page 4
For the Meeting of June 9, 2026
rates represent a meaningful discount from the firm’s new client rates for 2026, reflecting their appreciation for the longstanding relationship they have with San Dimas.
ALTERNATIVES
1. Deny the Request - The City is not contractually obligated to accept the proposed rate adjustments. However, given the competitiveness of the proposed rates, Aleshire & Wynder, LLP may determine that continuing to provide services at the current rate is no longer feasible. If that occurs, the firm could terminate the agreement, requiring the City to secure an alternative provider—potentially at higher costs or under less favorable terms than those proposed in this amendment.
2. Consider Going to Bid - The City may also initiate a competitive bidding process to solicit proposals from other law firms. However, a competitive process does not guarantee a sufficient number of responses, nor responses at price points acceptable to the City. Given current market conditions and the rates proposed in this amendment, the City would face significant challenges in obtaining lower rates through a competitive process. It is likely that the City would receive proposals at higher rates, and if the City ultimately wishes to retain the institutional knowledge gained through many years of service, it may end up contracting with the same firm at rates higher than those currently proposed.
3. Consider in-house Counsel - Cities sometimes employ in-house counsel as City employees, and this is an option the City could consider for providing City Attorney services. Under this approach, the City could still use special contract counsel for non-routine matters or issues requiring specialized expertise. However, establishing an internal legal function would involve more than hiring a single employee. Significant costs would be associated with licensing, support staff such as a paralegal, and maintaining the level of expertise typically provided by multiple attorneys. City staff believes that an in-house model would not offer benefits sufficient to offset the cost increases proposed in this amendment.
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.
Respectfully submitted,
Travis Sais

I am proud that San Dimas has been a client of the firm for more than 10 years, since 2014, and I remain deeply committed to providing the highest level of service.

Discussion:
Aleshire & Wynder is requesting a rate adjustment to continue to attract and retain qualified attorneys and to cover increasing expenses of operating a municipal law firm in California, including competitive salaries, rent, and health insurance. With all costs in the legal field escalating, we have lost attorneys over salary and have had to significantly increase our compensation schedule to maintain expertise and high quality service. Per Section 18 of the agreement, the City Council has the authority to amend the contract at any time by mutual consent of the parties.
Aleshire & Wynder hourly rates have not changed since January 2024. The current and proposed new rates are:

Basic services covered under the retainer include attendance at regular and special City Council meetings, review of contracts and ordinances, day-to-day legal advice and consultation to staff and City Council on matters of general municipal law, Brown Act, and Public Records Act, conflict of interest and ethics opinions, and Public Works and Planning advice. The proposed retainer provides the City with budget certainty and unlimited access to these core legal services at a fixed monthly cost.
Notably, the $20,000 retainer is lower than the monthly retainer paid by other neighboring cities of Glendora, Claremont, Monrovia, and Upland. Special services falling outside the retainer, including litigation, would be billed at the hourly rates set forth in the rate chart above.
For special services and litigation, the firm is requesting no increase to the rate for associate work, but only an increase to the partner rate.

For the Meeting of June 9, 2026

Prepared by: Peter Jacoy, Assistant Engineer
Subject: Approve a Right-of-Way Use Agreement with Arcadian Infracom 2, LLC. for Fiber Optic Installation in the City's Public Right-of-Way ____________________________________________________________________________
SUMMARY
The City has been approached by Arcadian Infracom 2, LLC (Arcadian) for the installation of fiber optic infrastructure within the public right-of-way throughout San Dimas. This installation forms part of a long-haul fiber route connecting Los Angeles to Phoenix, providing route diversity and lower latency for cloud providers, hyperscalers, and data centers. Per the California Public Utilities Code Section 7901, telecommunications companies are entitled to use state and local right of way. As such, the City cannot require a franchise agreement with Arcadian or unnecessarily restrict the installation.
A Right-of-Way Use Agreement protects the City's interest by requiring Arcadian to maintain their fiber optic infrastructure and furnish sufficient insurance and bond limits for this purpose.
The agreement provides other details such as repair response times and restoration requirements that would normally be made in a franchise agreement. Execution of the Rightof-Way Use Agreement does not reduce the City's ability to enforce adopted aesthetic or engineering standards for fiber optic installations within the public right-of-way.
RECOMMENDATION
City Staff recommends that the City Council:
1. Authorize the City Manager to enter into a Right-of-Way Use Agreement with Arcadian, in a form approved by the City Attorney, for the installation and maintenance of fiber optic infrastructure within the City's public right-of-way; and
2. Grant the City Manager authority to negotiate and execute future Right-of-Way Use Agreements for the purpose of installation, maintenance, repair, and operation of Telecommunication utility infrastructure and related facilities within the City's public rightof-way.

No
FISCAL IMPACT
There should be no net fiscal impact to the City for this agreement. Due to California regulations, the City is not allowed to require a franchise agreement for telecommunications companies (CPUC Section 7901) using the City's right of way. However, the City can collect fees to offset the costs of staff time for permitting and inspection of the installation or maintenance on these Telecommunication facilities.
BACKGROUND
Over the last several years, demand for high-capacity fiber optic infrastructure has grown significantly. This growth has been driven by the rapid expansion of cloud computing, hyperscale data centers, and the increasing need for low-latency connectivity between major western markets. In response to these demands, telecommunications companies are deploying long-haul fiber optic networks to meet the increasing bandwidth and reliability requirements of modern digital infrastructure.
Arcadian is proposing to install fiber optic infrastructure within the City's public right-of-way as part of a critical long-haul route connecting Los Angeles to Phoenix. This route will provide network diversity and lower latency for cloud providers, hyperscalers, and data centers connecting major western hubs, reducing dependence on existing limited fiber corridors.
Fiber optic installations are typically placed within the street right-of-way, making use of existing conduit, underground boring, or trenching methods where possible. Because of the critical nature of this infrastructure, these installations are deployed to meet strict industry standards for reliability, redundancy, and performance.
Cities are bound by State and Federal laws to allow installation of telecommunication facilities.
California Public Utilities Code Section 7901 authorizes telecommunication companies to use the public right-of-way for the purpose of providing communication service. This negates the City's ability to require a franchise agreement with these telecommunications companies.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
Regulations
The following is a brief overview of Federal and State regulations that impact the City's ability to control the installation of fiber optic infrastructure within the public right-of-way:
• Telecommunications Act of 1996: Limits a City's ability to determine detrimental impacts from telecommunications installations and states specifically: Section 704 of the Act states that no state or local government or instrumentality thereof may regulate the placement, construction, and modification of telecommunications service facilities in a manner that effectively prohibits the provision of such services. (47 U.S.C. §332(c)(7)(B)(iv).)
Right-of-Way Use Agreement with Arcadian Page 3
For the Meeting of June 9, 2026
• California Public Utilities Code Section 7901 impacts the City's ability to require a franchise agreement where the telecommunications company would have to pay for the use of the City right-of-way.
• California Public Utilities Code Section 7901.1 authorizes cities to regulate the "time, place, and manner" of telecommunications installation in the right-of-way, allowing the City to enforce construction standards, restoration requirements, and installation timelines.
• Federal Communication Commission (FCC) regulations aimed at streamlining the deployment of telecommunications infrastructure impose limits on controls that would effectively prohibit the provision of telecommunications service or unreasonably discriminate between carriers. These regulations stipulate shortened time frames for approval, introducing a "shot clock" where approval of the installation is automatic if the City does not respond with reasonable requirements within the times specified. The shot clock timing is between 60 and 150 days. In this instance, execution the Right of Use Agreement was required as part of the permitting process within the shot clock timeframe.
However, cities still retain the ability to require that telecommunications companies comply with aesthetic design guidelines and permitting processes.
Processing Permits and Right-of-Way Use Agreement
The Public Works encroachment permit process applies to each installation site and will be reviewed to ensure compliance with state and city infrastructure requirements, including compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, Standard Plans for Public Works Construction, and applicable underground utility installation standards.
The encroachment permit process requires Arcadian to provide insurance for the installation of improvements and relies on the Right-of-Way Use Agreement to ensure maintenance and repair of the fiber optic infrastructure. Due to state law (CPUC 7901), the City cannot require a franchise agreement which typically includes financial compensation to the City.
The Right-of-Way Use Agreement is the mechanism that replaces the Franchise Agreement, requiring Arcadian to maintain their fiber optic infrastructure per applicable City and Federal/State standards. It requires $10 million dollars in insurance and a bond to ensure that these standards are met. The agreement provides the City greater protection than the individual encroachment permit, which typically carries a smaller insurance limit. The Right of Way Use Agreement also includes additional requirements such as repair response times, trench restoration standards, and surface repair obligations.
Execution of the Right-of-Way Use Agreement does not reduce the City's ability to enforce aesthetic and engineering requirements set forth in the adopted design standards for telecommunications infrastructure in the Public Right-of-Way.
Additionally, as Arcadian is not the only telecommunications company seeking to install fiber optic infrastructure within the City's right-of-way, Staff feels it would be prudent and efficient to request City Council's consideration to provide the City Manager authorization to execute future
Right-of-Way Use Agreement with Arcadian Page 4
For the Meeting of June 9, 2026
Right-of-Way Use Agreements for fiber optic and related telecommunications installations that the City may receive going forward.
ALTERNATIVES
1. The City Council could choose not to authorize the Right-of-Way Use Agreement with Arcadian and direct staff to proceed through the encroachment permit process. It should be noted that California Public Utilities Code Section 7901 entitles telecommunications companies to use the public right-of-way for the purpose of providing communication service.
2. The City Council may choose to approve the Right-of-Way Use Agreement with Arcadian while declining to delegate authority to the City Manager to negotiate and execute future Right-of-Way Use Agreements.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The authorization of executing a Right-of-Way Use Agreement with Arcadian is not a project within the meaning of Section 15378 of the State of California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") Guidelines, because it has no potential for resulting in physical change in the environment, directly or indirectly. This agreement sets forth the legal terms and obligations for use of the City's public right-of-way for the installation of fiber optic infrastructure and does not authorize any specific development or installation on any specific piece of property.

Nothing in this Agreement shall constitute a waiver by Company or City of any state or federal regulation governing the provisioning of telecommunications services.
C. By entering into this Agreement, neither the City nor Company waive any rights reserved to either under Applicable Law. Nothing in this Agreement constitutes an admission by the Company that any provision herein is valid or enforceable, or that the Agreement itself represents a proper exercise of the City’s police power. The Company expressly reserves all rights, claims, and defenses regarding the validity or enforceability of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any contrary provision, Applicable Law, not this Agreement, shall govern the term of encroachment permits issued by the City.
8. Interference.

In the event that any of Company’s facilities cause damage to the City's ROW or interfere with the performance of any of the City's public duties or other uses of the ROW, Company agrees, upon notice from the City, to promptly commence and complete all necessary repairs to cure any such damage caused by such facilities, at Company's sole cost and expense. If Company fails to repair the damage after receiving notice from the City or if an emergency necessitates immediate repair of the damage, City may, in its sole discretion, perform the repair work itself, in which case Company shall reimburse City for the reasonable costs of the repair work within 30 days after receiving an invoice detailing such costs.
11. Default.
If either party is in default under this Agreement for a period of thirty (30) days following receipt of notice from the non-defaulting party then, the non-defaulting party may terminate this Agreement, and may pursue any remedies available to it against the defaulting party under applicable law. If the non-monetary default may not reasonably be cured within a 30-day period, this Agreement may not be terminated if the defaulting party commences action to cure the default within such 30-day period and proceeds diligently to fully cure the default.

For the Meeting of June 9, 2026
From: Brad McKinney, City Manager
Prepared by: Scott Wasserman, Director of Parks & Recreation Subject: Approve a 2-year Contract Extension with Nieves Landscape, Inc. for Contract Landscape Maintenance Services
____________________________________________________________________________
SUMMARY
The contract for landscape services with Nieves Landscape, Inc. is scheduled to expire on June 30, 2026. Staff is requesting an extension of two years to the existing contract.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council:
• Approve the extension of the landscape maintenance services contract with Nieves Landscape, Inc., for a term of two years.
GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES:
https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov
Yes
FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed two-year contract extension for landscape maintenance services with Nieves Landscape, Inc. includes annual increases that are tied to increases in the Consumer Price Index (CPI). The first year of the contract in Fiscal Year 2026-27 is for a not-to-exceed amount of $590,318.33. This reflects an increase of 2.9% over the previous year to correspond to the annual increase in the CPI of 2.9%. Fiscal Year 2026-27 also reflects a decrease of $10,731 related to the sunsetting of the Northwoods Assessment District on January 1, 2027. In Fiscal Year 2026- 27, the City will only pay Nieves to perform six months of maintenance in the Northwoods Assessment District instead of a full year. The Fiscal Year 2026-27 City budget includes an appropriation of $590,318.33 for the proposed landscape maintenance services.
Approve Contract Extension with Nieves Landscape, Inc. Page 2 For the Meeting of June 9, 2026
Year two of the contract will be reduced by an additional $10,731 related to the sunsetting of the Northwoods Assessment District. In year two of the contract, the City will no longer pay for Nieves to perform any maintenance in the Northwoods Assessment District. The annual cost of the contract in Fiscal Year 2027-28 will be $579,587.33 plus any increase related to an increase in the CPI since the previous year.
The current contract for landscape maintenance services expires on June 30, 2026. The contract is funded through a combination of funds from the General Fund, Landscape Parcel Tax, and revenue generated by the Boulevard Assessment District and Northwoods Assessment District. The contract allows an annual percentage rate adjustment determined by the Consumer Price Index from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
BACKGROUND
The City of San Dimas contracts with Nieves Landscape, Inc. to provide landscape maintenance services at various locations throughout the City that include the Civic Center, city parks, medians, parkways, trails, bus stops and municipal parking lots. The current contract was executed in 2019 as a standard three-year agreement with two additional single-year extensions (for a total of 5 years). The contract was renewed for a single year in Fiscal Years 2024-25 and 2025-26. Nieves has performed well during the term of the contract and met all contract requirements. The current agreement is set to expire on June 30, 2026, if no action is taken to extend the agreement.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
The City’s landscape maintenance operations are performed by a combination of City staff and contract maintenance crews. The current landscape maintenance contractor is Nieves Landscape, Inc. which provides basic maintenance services including mowing, edging, weeding, planting, pressure washing and trash pick-up/dumping for all City parks, trails, medians and bus stops. The current contract was publicly bid in 2019.
City staff has evaluated current industry costs for the Scope of Work for landscaping services and estimates a cost increase in excess of 20%, or approximately $116,882 per year, if the contract is re-bid. In contrast, the cost increase associated with the requested two-year extension would be limited to the annual increase in the CPI, which historically has been between 2.5%-3.5%. The CPI increase for 2026 is 2.9% which will translate to an increase of $5,905.76 to the contract for Fiscal Year 2026-27. This overall increase accounts for the decrease in the scope of the contract and cost savings of $10,731 resulting from the sunsetting of the Northwoods Assessment District on January 1, 2027.
If the City Council approves the two-year extension recommended by staff, the annual cost of the contract in Fiscal Year 2026-27 will increase by $5,905.76 to $590,318.33. As previously discussed, year two of the contract will cost $579,587.33 plus any increase in the CPI from the previous year. Year two of the contract also reflects a cost related to the sunsetting of the Northwoods Assessment District, as the City will no longer have an obligation to provide maintenance services to the Assessment District. Approval of the requested two-year extension could potentially save the City tens of thousands of dollars in Fiscal Year 2026-27 when compared to the alternative of rebidding the contract.
Approve Contract Extension with Nieves Landscape, Inc. Page 3 For the Meeting of June 9, 2026
ALTERNATIVES
The City Council can elect to not extend the contract with Nieves Landscaping. Under this scenario, the City would release a Request for Bids to select a new landscape maintenance services contractor. As previously discussed, staff believes that re-bidding the contract will result in higher costs to the city.
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.

For the Meeting of June 9, 2026

Prepared by: Genevieve Amaro, Management Aide
Subject: Approve Resolution 2026-38 Authorizing Submission and Adoption of a Fiscal Year 2026-27 List of Projects Funded by Senate Bill 1, Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Act of 2017
____________________________________________________________________________
SUMMARY
On April 28, 2017, the Governor signed Senate Bill 1(SB1), which is known as the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 (SB1). SB1 was passed by the legislation as a means of providing additional funding for road maintenance, rehabilitation, and critical safety upgrades for State Highways, Local Streets, and Road Systems. SB1 increases the per gallon fuel excise taxes, diesel fuel excise taxes, and vehicle registration fees and provides for adjustments for inflation in future years.
This Bill created the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Act (RMRA). Prior to receiving any RMRA funds for any fiscal year, the City must submit an annual listing to the California Transportation Commission (CTC) of projects to be funded with RMRA funds. The deadline for project submission is July 1, 2026, for Fiscal Year 2026-27. San Dimas is anticipating receiving approximately $976,493 for FY2026-27. This amount in conjunction with funds from previous years will be enough to fund several projects. Any additional funds needed for project completion will be appropriated from other funding sources.
RECOMMENDATION
City staff recommends that City Council:
1. Approve the projects proposed for SB 1/Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Act funding.
2. Adopt Resolution 2026-38 authorizing the approved list of projects to be submitted to the California Transportation Committee for SB 1/ Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Act funds.

For the Meeting of June 9, 2026
GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES:
https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov
No
FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed projects will use an estimated $1.5 million in RMRA funds, which have been accrued in previous years leaving a balance at the end of the year of approximately $658,000 in this restricted fund. The proposed streets are showing excessive wear and need extensive repairs. Repairing these streets will reduce the future maintenance cost required and will provide an aesthetically pleasing smooth street surface to our residents. Due to the size of the projects, the RMRA funds will only provide partial funding for the repairs. The remaining funding will be provided by other restricted funds such as the Gas Tax or Measure M.
Below are projects identified by Staff as applicable projects to receive SB1/RMRA funding. Please note that the projects will not be completely funded by RMRA monies. Other restricted funds will be used to fill funding gaps. The complete funding for these projects will be presented for Council approval with the FY 2026-27 budget.

BACKGROUND
Adopt 2026-27 List of Projects Funded by Senate Bill 1, Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Act of 2017 Page 3
For the Meeting of June 9, 2026
The Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017, Senate Bill (SB 1), approved in April 2017, provides local agencies with revenue restricted for use on Road and Transportation projects but includes “reasonable reforms to ensure efficiency, accountability, performance from each dollar invested to improve California’s transportation system” (SB 1). This Bill created the RMRA and the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Program. In addition, programs funded by this bill include the Local Partnership Program, the Active Transportation Program, the State Highway Operation and Protection Program (SHOPP), and Local Streets and Roads apportionments.
SENATE BILL 1
Senate Bill 1 is an investment in California’s transportation systems in the amount of about $1.5 billion per year through funding from the taxes outlined below:
• A 12¢ per gallon increase to the gasoline excise tax, effective November 1, 2017 • A 20¢ per gallon increase to the diesel fuel excise tax, effective November 1, 2017 • A new $25-$175 vehicle registration fee, based on the market value of the vehicle, effective January 1, 2018
• An additional new $100 vehicle registration fee on zero-emission vehicles model year 2020 and later, effective July 1, 2020
All taxes will be adjusted annually based on the Consumer Price Index. The funds generated by SB1 will be used for projects that include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Road maintenance and rehabilitation
• Safety projects
• Railroad grade separations
• Complete street components, including active transportation purposes, pedestrian and bicycle safety projects, transit facilities, and drainage and stormwater capture projects in conjunction with any other allowable project
• Traffic control devices
SB1 specifies the annual allocation of funds for a number of transportation programs listed in the bill. The remaining RMRA revenues, will be split 50/50 between the state highway and local streets maintenance and rehabilitation. SB1 continuously appropriates the RMRA revenues to cities and counties using the same formula that applies to the original gas tax passed in 1989.
This original tax is still in effect today and is 18¢ per gallon.in additional to the RMRA tax.
In order to receive SB1 funding, the City must comply with all relevant federal and state laws, regulations, policies, and procedures. The funding prerequisites have been codified in the Streets and Highway Code (SHC) and include the following:
• The City must submit a list of projects that have been adopted in the fiscal year’s budget at a regular public meeting to the California Transportation Commission (CTC). • The list of projects must include a description and location of each proposed project, a proposed schedule for the project’s completion (year/quarter is adequate), and the estimated useful life of the project.
• For each fiscal year in which RMRA funds are received and expended, the City must submit documentation to the CTC that includes a description and location of each completed project, by May 1, including the amount of funds expended on the project, the completion date, and the estimated useful life of the improvement.
Adopt 2026-27 List of Projects Funded by Senate Bill 1, Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Act of 2017 Page 4
For the Meeting of June 9, 2026
• The City may spend its apportionment of RMRA funds on transportation priorities other than priorities outlined in SHC 2030(b) if the city or county’s average Pavement Condition Index (PCI) meets or exceeds 80.
• Agencies receiving RMRA Funds are required to sustain a Maintenance of Effort (MOE) by spending at least, the annual average of its General Fund expenditures during the 2009-10, 2010-11, and 2011-12 fiscal years for street, road, and highway repairs from the City’s General Fund.
MAINTENANCE OF EFFORT (MOE)
Agencies receiving RMRA Funds are required to sustain a Maintenance of Effort (MOE) by spending at least the annual average of its General Fund expenditures during the 2009-10, 2010- 11, and 2011-12 fiscal years for street, road, and highway repairs from the City’s General Fund.
San Dimas’ MOE requirement has been confirmed by the State Controller’s Office, and it is estimated to be approximately $ 2,100,463 annually. Additional requirements regarding development, project signage, and repainting are required as part of the program guidelines and development.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
The City may submit any number of projects to the California Transportation Committee (CTC) for SB1 funding, in planning for FY 2026-27. Staff seeks Council approval to submit the projects listed in the table above. Funding will only be provided for projects on the CTC approved project list, which must be submitted to the CTC by July 1, 2026. The CTC will then submit the list of approved projects to the State Controller’s Office in August 2026, and appropriations are scheduled to be distributed in January 2027.
At this time, the Fiscal Year 2026-27 SB1 allocation amount for the City of San Dimas is estimated to be $976,493.
To ensure that the City is on the initial eligibility list to receive the vital RMRA funds, Staff has reviewed the current street conditions to identify a list of projects that can be constructed by June 2027 and satisfy the SB1 funding requirements.
ALTERNATIVES
Council may elect not to approve the Resolution. Council can approve a modified resolution with changes to the project listing. Failure to submit an approved resolution by July 1st could result in the loss of this year's fiscal allotment of funds ($976,493).
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This item is not subject to environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act CEQA). Under CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5), continued administrative activities and organization activities that will not result in a direct or indirect physical change in the environment are not CEQA projects. The adoption of Resolution 2026-38 SB1 Funds RMRA project list for FY 2026-27 are organizational activities of the government which involves the fiscal activities, as such, this item is not a CEQA project. Even if it was determined to be a CEQA project, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), CEQA does not apply to this item because there is no

Agenda Item Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
For the Meeting of June 9, 2026
From: Brad McKinney, City Manager
Prepared by: Debra Black, City Clerk
Subject: Authorization to Destroy Records Pursuant to the City's Retention Schedule ____________________________________________________________________________
SUMMARY
Staff requests City Council authorization to destroy City records that have met the retention requirements established in the Records Retention Schedule approved by the City Council in December 2025. A review of records maintained by City departments identified documents that have exceeded their required retention periods and are eligible for destruction. Staff has confirmed that the records are not subject to any pending litigation, audit, claim, investigation, public records request, or other legal hold. Approval of the proposed action will support efficient records management practices, reduce storage requirements, and ensure continued compliance with the City's adopted records retention policies and applicable state law.
RECOMMENDATION
City Staff recommends that the City Council:
• Authorize the destruction of certain City records that have met their required retention periods in accordance with the City’s Records Retention schedule.
GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES:
https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov
No
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no significant fiscal impact associated with this action. The destruction of records that have exceeded their retention periods may reduce future storage and records management costs.
Authorization to Destroy Records Pursuant to the City's Retention Schedule Page 2 For the Meeting of June 9, 2026
BACKGROUND
The City maintains official records in accordance with applicable provisions of California law and the City's Records Retention Schedule. The Records Retention Schedule, approved by the City Council in December 2025, establishes the minimum retention periods for records maintained by City departments and identifies records eligible for destruction after the required retention period has expired.
Periodic destruction of records that have fulfilled their retention requirements is a recognized records management practice that reduces storage costs, improves administrative efficiency, and ensures compliance with established records management standards.
City staff has reviewed records maintained by various departments and identified records that have met or exceeded the retention periods established in the approved Records Retention Schedule. Staff has verified that the records proposed for destruction are not subject to any current litigation, audit, public records request, claim, investigation, or other legal hold that would require their continued retention.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
The records identified for destruction have satisfied all applicable retention requirements contained in the City's Records Retention Schedule approved in December 2025. The destruction process will be conducted in a manner that protects confidential information and ensures compliance with applicable state laws and City policies.
A detailed inventory of records proposed for destruction is attached as Exhibit 1 and maintained by the City Clerk's Office. Upon Council authorization, the records will be destroyed in accordance with established records management procedures, and a certificate of destruction will be retained as a permanent record of the action.
Approval of this request will allow the City to continue its records management program in an efficient and legally compliant manner.
ALTERNATIVES
As an alternative to approving the recommended action, the City Council may direct staff to delay or deny authorization for the destruction of records identified as having met the retention requirements established in the City's Records Retention Schedule. However, either alternative would require the City to continue retaining records beyond the adopted retention periods, resulting in additional storage and administrative costs and reducing the efficiency of the City's records management program.
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 June 9, 2026
From: Brad McKinney, City Manager
Prepared by: Michael O'Brien, Director of Administrative Services Subject: Approve Resolution 2026-36 to Adopt the Proposed Fiscal Year 2026-27 Operating and Capital Improvement Program Budget.
____________________________________________________________________________
SUMMARY
Request to Approve Resolution 2026-36 to adopt the Proposed Fiscal Year 2026-27 Operating and Capital Improvement Program Budget
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council:
• Approve Resolution 2026 -36 to Adopt the Fiscal Year 2026-27 Operating and Capital Improvement Program Budget for a total expenditure budget of $58,421,797 across all funds.
GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES:

No
FISCAL IMPACT
The Proposed 2026-27 Operating and Capital Improvement Program Budget includes $58,421,297 of budgeted expenditures across all governmental funds.
The General Fund is projected to generate revenues and transfers in the amount of $35,157,116 with expenditures and transfers totaling $34,824,989 of which $1,600,000 is a transfer to fund 100 for future asset replacement needs.
This would result in a surplus to the General Fund unassigned fund balance totaling $332,127.
Approve Resolution 2026-36 to Adopt the 2026-2027 Proposed Budget Page 2 For the Meeting of June,9 2026
The surplus increased by $97,108 from the draft budget due to increases in sales tax projections from the most recent HDL estimates. The rise in revenues was slightly offset by staffing costs related to the July 3, 2026 special event celebrating the City‘s Birthday and America‘s 250th Anniversary of Independence, which was not considered as part of the draft budget originally discussed with the City Council on April 28th, 2026.
The total Assigned General Fund balances which includes fund 70 (New Equipment Reserve) and fund 100 (Capital Asset Replacement Fund) are projected to increase by $1,242,760 as the transfer into the Capital Asset Replacement fund is greater than the budgeted expenditures in the new equipment reserve and the Capital Asset Replacement fund.
The Unassigned General Fund Balance is projected to be $20,540,690 which would equate to a 62% reserve.
In total, the General Fund Balance for Unassigned and Assigned Fund balances will total $44,227,447 which equates to a reserve of 133% compared to operating expenditures totaling $33,224,989
The fund balances across all funds would be decreased by ($4,958,664) as major capital projects are completed many of which utilize funds that will otherwise lapse if not spent. Those lapsing funds are specific to the Metro funds 072.073.074.076. The projected fund ending balance across all Governmental funds is projected to end the 2026-27 fiscal year with a total of $62,678,666.
This total increased from the prior draft budget due to the changes in Sales Tax estimates, staffing costs for the July 3, 2026 special event, adjustments to prior year‘s estimates as actual amounts were received, and the Dale Park road project being shifted to the prior year’s estimated total rather than the current year's budget while the Public Works Department determines whether the project should be carried over into the 2026-27 fiscal year.
The chart below illustrates the changes in the various General Fund Reserve categories from the 2022-23 fiscal year.

Approve Resolution 2026-36 to Adopt the 2026-2027 Proposed Budget Page 3 For the Meeting of June,9 2026
BACKGROUND
The budget process begins in January of each year with a kickoff meeting with executive staff to discuss the budget process, expectations and City Council priorities.
Each department compiles figures for each account they are in charge of and submits detailed line items describing what makes up their expenditure and revenue totals for each line item. Staff also submits new request forms for any new operations, capital asset purchases or capital projects they wish to be included in the upcoming fiscal year budget.
Each department meets with Administrative staff to review their budgets for accuracy and to understand their operations needs before meeting with the City Manager and Assistant City Manager to determine what will be included in a draft presentation to City Council and the public.
The prior year budget projected that we would end the 2025-26 fiscal year with a total unassigned and assigned General Fund balance of $39,392,141, the proposed Fiscal Year 2026-27 budget estimates that we will end the 2025-26 fiscal year with $42,653,100. The increase is mainly due to ending the fiscal year in a much more favorable position than was estimated. This is due to higher sales tax and permit revenues and expenditures coming in below budget estimates from salary and benefit savings as well as professional and contract services. Additionally, the 2025- 26 fiscal year is estimated to have a deficit due to use of reserves for an additional PERS contribution of $1,000,000 and transfers totaling $1,000,000 to the infrastructure and New Equipment reserves. The deficit is not as great as was originally thought due to expenditure savings and higher than anticipated tax and permit revenue estimates.
A report and presentation of the draft budget was provided to the City Council and the public at a Study Session Meeting on April 28, 2026. A request for percentages of the expenditure budget across departments over the past ten years was requested and is included in the presentation materials.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
While staff has not proposed any additions to current service levels, a number of significant increases will occur due to increases in costs for professional and contract services, insurance coverage, retirement obligations and software programs. Below are examples of increases incorporated in the draft budget that affect the General Fund:
• 2.3% increase for public safety Sheriff‘s Department services. • 1.5% increase to the public safety liability trust fund. • $300,703 increase in the unfunded liability contribution to CALPERS. • $249,444 increase in insurance costs.
• 3.4% March to March CPI increase for professional and contract services such as landscaping and custodial services.
• 3.4% increase in employee salaries and the corresponding increase to employee benefit costs.
A 3.4% CPI increase for permits, business licenses, the landscape parcel tax and Assessment District will be requested for approval by the Council later this year. CPI increases were considered in the proposed budget.
Approve Resolution 2026-36 to Adopt the 2026-2027 Proposed Budget Page 4 For the Meeting of June,9 2026
The main reason for the projected surplus in the proposed budget after multiple years of deficit budgets is due to a significant repayment towards former redevelopment loans outstanding from the Department of Finance. That payment created an increase in the projected interest revenues for the Fiscal Year 2026-2027 budget.
Additionally, major developments that are planned to begin construction in the 2026-27 fiscal year are projected to bring in significant increases to permit revenues.
That one-time revenue boost should be enough to lift revenues over expenditures, creating a surplus for the 2026-2027 fiscal year.
The proposed budget allocates funding for investment in capital improvements and capital asset purchases that include the following:
Bonita Avenue $3,400,000
Badillo Road Rehabilitation & Signal Upgrade $1,715,000 Street Rehabilitation Tarryglen Lane $1,000,000
Street Rehabilitation Avenida Verde Vista $1,000,000
Ladera Serra Upgrades $75,000
City Yard Upgrades $200,000
Bus Route Striping $100,000
Foothill Blvd. Design $150,000
San Dimas Loop $94,000
Replacement Chipper and Trailer $115,000
Horse Stall Replacements $65,000
Ladera Serra Fence Restoration $141,240
Total Cost of Listed Projects $8,055,240
ALTERNATIVES
1. Reject the proposed budget and request changes to be included with a proposal to be presented at the June 23, 2026 Council Meeting.
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.

FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal impact is dependent on City Council action. Funds collected from the Citywide Parcel Tax are used to offset costs in the City Budget in Fund 8 (Landscape Parcel Tax). For Fiscal Year

2026-27, Fund 8 expenditures are estimated at $1,346,666. Approval of the recommended action would increase the Parcel Tax collected in FY 2026-27 by 3.4% (or $36,414) to approximately $1,107,414 to correspond to the 3.4% increase in the Consumer Price Index. With the 3.4% increase in revenue generated, Fund 8 is still projected to run a deficit of approximately $239,252 that will need to be covered by the General Fund. If the City Council does not increase the parcel tax, the fund deficit in the Landscape Parcel Tax Fund would increase to $275,666.
BACKGROUND
In November 1997 the voters of the City of San Dimas by a 71% affirmative vote, approved Ordinance 1086 adopting a special parcel tax to be levied against properties in the city. Per voter approval, the revenues collected are exclusively used to improve and maintain public parks, parkways, medians, and trees. Citywide Landscape Parcel Tax revenues and expenditures are reflected in Fund 8 of the City Budget. Parcel tax funds are used to pay for maintenance activities performed by the City’s two primary landscape contractors, Nieves Landscape and West Coast Arborist.
Estimated expenditures in Fund 8 for Fiscal Year 2026-27 are $1,346,666. The expenditures include costs for citywide contract landscape and tree maintenance services, utilities (electric & water), and landscape and irrigation supplies. In addition to revenue generated by the citywide parcel tax, other revenue in Fund 8 includes reimbursement of approximately $27,000 from the Bonita Unified School District to cover 50% of the maintenance costs for the San Dimas Sportsplex. Any cost not covered by the Landscape Parcel Tax would need to be subsidized by the General Fund.
Ordinance 1086 requires that, commencing with FY 1999–2000, the special tax shall be set annually by the City Council following a public hearing. The rate of the tax as established by Ordinance 1086 can be adjusted annually to reflect changes in the Consumer Price Index by an amount equal to the increase in the CPI for the period extending from April 1 of the previous year through March 31 of the current year, which was 3.4% for April 1, 2025 - March 31, 2026 period.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
Staff requests that the City Council review two options for the citywide Landscape Parcel Tax rates for FY 2026–27.
Option 1 - Adjust the tax by 3.4% to correspond to the increase in the Consumer Price Index of
3.4% for March 2026.
The revenue for Option 1 is projected at $1,107,414, reflecting an increase of $36,414. In this scenario, Fund 8 would continue to run a deficit of $239,252 that would need to be subsidized by the General Fund.
Option 2 - Maintain the landscape parcel tax at the same rate without adjustment for FY 2026- 2027.
The revenue for Option 2 is the same as current fiscal year, projected at $1,071,000. In this scenario, the deficit in Fund 8 would grow to $275,666 that would need to be subsidized by the General Fund.
Rates based on property classification are indicated in the following chart:

The Landscape Parcel Tax will operate with a projected deficit of $239,252 in Option 1, and a larger deficit of $275,666 in Option 2. Both options will require a General Fund subsidy to complete scheduled maintenance activities.
