BACKGROUND: The Murrieta Creek Improvements Project, PW15-07, is identified in the 2026-2030 City of Temecula Capital Improvement Program Budget, and funds coordination efforts and several follow up projects to the Murrieta Creek Channel improvements constructed by the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and Riverside County Flood Control (RCFC) within City limits. The Murrietta Creek Trail Solar Lights Project, PW21-13, is one of these follow up projects, shares funds with PW15-07, and is installing twenty-seven (27) solar lights along the Murrieta Creek Trail between the Epperson Memorial Parking Lot, at the project's southern end, to the project's northern boundary located near the intersection of Moreno Rd and Old Town Front Street.

On July 22, 2025, the City Council awarded a construction contract to Asad Holdings LLC DBA OrangeBlue General Contractors in the amount of $108,949 and authorized the City Manager to approve construction contract change orders not to exceed the contingency amount of $27,237.25.

Due to unforeseen subsurface conditions, an additional $27,237.25 was authorized at the October 28, 2025 City Council Meeting, increasing the City Manager's authority to approve change orders to a total of $54,474.50.

Work generally consisted of constructing new solar lights along the east side of the Murrieta Creek Trail between the Epperson Memorial Parking Lot, at the project's southern end, to the project's northern boundary located near the intersection of Moreno Rd and Old Town Front Street.

Asad Holdings LLC DBA OrangeBlue General Contractors has completed the work in accordance with the approved plans and specifications and to the satisfaction of the Director of Public Works/City Engineer. All work will be warranted for a period of one year from October 16, 2025, the date the City obtained "beneficial use" of the project improvements. The retention for this project will be released pursuant to the provisions of Public Contract Code 7107.

The amount of the construction contract was $108,949. There was one (1) construction contract change order with a net total of $23,331.93. The final contract amount totaled $132,280.93.

Item No. 13

CITY OF TEMECULA

AGENDA REPORT
TO: City Manager/City Council
FROM: Ron Moreno, Director of Public Works/City Engineer DATE: January 13, 2026
SUBJECT: Approve Increase to Construction Contingency for the Contract with American Asphalt South, Inc. for the Citywide Slurry Seal Project, PW25-06 PREPARED BY: Hossein Ajideh, Principal Civil Engineer
William Becerra, Associate Engineer II
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council:

1. Approve increase to the construction contingency for the contract with American Asphalt South, Inc., in the amount of $245,000 for the Citywide Slurry Seal Project, PW25-06, resulting in a total construction contingency of $779,027.15; and

2. Approve increase to the City Manager's authorization to approve contract change orders up to $779,027.15.

BACKGROUND: On October 14, 2025, the City Council awarded a construction contract to American Asphalt South, Inc. for the Citywide Slurry Seal Project, PW25-06, in the amount of $1,068,054.30 with a separate construction contingency in the amount of $534,027.15.

The Citywide Slurry Seal Program is an annual project that applies slurry seal to roadways to protect pavement from water intrusion and deterioration of the asphalt concrete pavement. Slurry seal is ideally applied every five to seven years, as it extends pavement life and helps delay more costly rehabilitation measures such as asphalt concrete overlays or pavement removal and reconstruction.

Construction activities involve roadway preparation by removing existing striping and pavement markings, cleaning the roadway surface, and sealing cracks. This work is followed by the application of slurry seal and subsequent restoration of striping and pavement markings.

The project originally consisted of slurry sealing over four million square feet of residential roadways at designated locations.

The Citywide Slurry Seal Project is designed to maximize the use of available funding. For this year's project, staff originally requested approval of a 50% construction contingency to cover

potential extra work. After careful review of the City's Five -Year Slurry Seal Plan, staff requested a proposal from the contractor to expand the project limits to include Crown Hill and Sterling Ranch neighborhoods. This expansion added approximately 2.5 million square feet of residential roadway to the project. The expanded project area is shown on the attached Project Location Map.

Extra work associated with this expansion also includes modification to roadway striping on Solana Way, Seraphina Road, Rita Way, Suzi Lane, Chandler Drive, and Yukon Road.

Staff recommend approval of an increase to the City Manager's authorized construction contingency in the amount of $245,000 resulting in a total authorized contingency of $779,027.15.

FISCAL IMPACT: The Citywide Slurry Seal Project is included in the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Operating Budget and is funded with Measure A. Sufficient funds are available in the project account to cover the requested increase to the contingency of $245,000. The revised contingency amount of $779,027.15 plus the original contract amount of $1,068,054.30 results in a total encumbrance of $1,847,081.45.

AGENDA REPORT
TO: City Manager/City Council
FROM: Ron Moreno, Director of Public Works/City Engineer DATE: January 13, 2026
SUBJECT: Award Construction Contract to Roadway Engineering & Construction Corp. for the Vail Ranch Park Restrooms Project, PW23-06
PREPARED BY: Hossein Ajideh, Principal Civil Engineer
Laura Bragg, Associate Engineer II
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council:

2. Authorize the City Manager to approve contract change orders up to 10% of the contract amount, $26,405.20; and
Make a finding that this project is exempt from Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan fees.

BACKGROUND: The Vail Ranch Park Restrooms Project is a park and recreation project that includes the construction of a new park restroom facility designed to meet current Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessibility standards. This project will provide additional amenities for park patrons through the design, fabrication, delivery and installation of a prefabricated restroom building. The facility will include two unisex single -stall restrooms, a drinking fountain with a bottle filler, and a small storage area located within the utility chase.

The project also includes utility rerouting, upgrading and new utilities, site grading, parking lot reconfiguration and restriping, concrete improvements, installation of ADA-compliant pedestrian access ramp and signage, landscaping and irrigation improvements, and construction of a new ADA-compliant sidewalk connecting the park to the existing sidewalk adjacent to Vail Ranch Parkway.

A consultant services agreement with Michael Baker International, Inc., dated August 13, 2024, provided consultant services to design the site improvements necessary to accommodate a stand- alone restroom building to be procured from, and installed by, Public Restroom Company. The construction contract proposed for award to Roadway Engineering & Construction Corp. on

today's agenda is for the site improvements necessary to support the prefabricated restroom building.

A separate contract between the City and Public Restroom Company, dated August 13, 2024, provides for all prefabricated restroom building -related activities, which include but are not limited to the design, manufacturing, delivery, and installation of the restroom building at the project site.

This project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requirements pursuant to Article 19, Categorical Exemption, Section 15303, Class 3 (e), New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures, of the CEQA Guidelines. The project involves upgrades to an existing park consisting of a new 166-square foot restroom building with associated ADA compliant flatwork.

The construction contract was publicly advertised for bid between November 20, 2025, and December 16, 2025. Twelve (12) bids were received and publicly opened on Tuesday, December 16, 2025. Staff have completed the evaluation of the bids and have determined all the bids to be responsive.

After analyzing the bids and waiving minor bid irregularities, staff determined that Roadway Engineering & Construction Corp., of Perris, California, is the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Roadway Engineering & Construction Corp. has public contracting experience and has successfully completed various similar projects with other public agencies.

The Engineer's construction cost estimate for the Project is $355,000. Construction duration is estimated to be seventy (70) working days, which is approximately three and a half (3 1 /2) months.

The Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP) is an element of the Riverside County Integrated Project (RCIP) to conserve open space; nature preserves and wildlife to be set aside in some areas. It is designed to protect over 150 species and conserve over 500,000 acres in Western Riverside County. The City of Temecula is a permittee to the MSHCP and as such is required to abide by the Regional Conservation Authority's (RCA) MSHCP Mitigation Fee Implementation Manual adopted by Resolution 2020-013 on December 7, 2020. The RCA is a joint regional authority formed by the County and the Cities to provide primary policy direction for implementation of the MSHCP.

Since July 1, 2008, the RCA has required that locally funded Capital Improvement Projects contribute applicable MSHCP fees within 90-days of construction contract award. Fees for projects outside the public right of way are calculated based on the cost per acre of disturbed area, while fees for typical right-of-way improvement projects are calculated as 5% of construction costs.

Maintenance -only projects and projects located entirely within developed parks, such as this project, are exempt from MSHCP fees.

FISCAL IMPACT: The Vail Ranch Park Restrooms Project, PW23-06, is included in the City's Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Budget for Fiscal Years 2026-2030 and is funded with Measure "S". Adequate funds are available in the project account to cover the contract amount of $264,052 plus the 10% contingency amount of $26,405.20 for a total encumbrance of $290,457.20.

This project will provide additional amenities for park patrons through the design, fabrication, delivery and installation of a prefabricated restroom building. The facility will include two unisex single -stall restrooms, a drinking fountain with a bottle filler, and a small storage area located within the utility chase.

today's agenda is for these site improvements necessary to support the prefabricated restroom building.

The construction contract was publicly advertised for bid between November 20, 2025, and December 16, 2025. Eleven (11) bids were received and publicly opened on Tuesday, December 16, 2025. Staff have completed the evaluation of the bids and have determined that all bids are responsive.

The results are as follows:

After analyzing the bids and waiving minor bid irregularities, staff determined that Roadway Engineering & Construction Corp., of Perris, California, is the lowest responsive and responsible

bidder. Roadway Engineering & Construction Corp. has public contracting experience and has successfully completed various similar projects with other public agencies.

The Engineer's construction cost estimate for the project is $245,000. Construction duration is estimated to be seventy (70) working days, which is approximately three and a half (3 1/2) months.

The Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP) is an element of the Riverside County Integrated Project (RCIP) to conserve open space, nature preserves and wildlife to be set aside in some areas. It is designed to protect over 150 species and conserve over 500,000 acres in Western Riverside County. The City of Temecula is a permittee to the MSHCP and, as such, is required to abide by the Regional Conservation Authority's (RCA) MSHCP Mitigation Fee Implementation Manual adopted by Resolution 2020-013 on December 7, 2020. The RCA is a joint regional authority formed by the County and the Cities to provide primary policy direction for implementation of the MSHCP.

Since July 1, 2008, the RCA has required that locally funded Capital Improvement Projects contribute applicable MSHCP fees within 90 days of construction contract award. Fees for projects outside the public right-of-way are calculated based on the cost per acre of disturbed area, while fees for typical right-of-way improvement projects are calculated as 5% of construction costs.

Maintenance -only projects and projects located entirely within developed parks, such as this project, are exempt from MSHCP fees.

FISCAL IMPACT: The Long Canyon Creek Park Restrooms Project, PW23-18, is included in the City's Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Budget for Fiscal Years 2026-2030 and is funded with Measure "S." Adequate funds are available in the project account to cover the contract amount of $189,695.50, plus the 10% contingency amount of $18,969.55 for a total encumbrance of $208,665.05.

ACTIONS IN CONNECTION THEREWITH
BACKGROUND: Pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 34177 and Section 34177 (o), successor agencies are required to prepare, in advance, a Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (ROPS) that is forward looking for twelve months. The ROPS lists all of the Successor Agency's anticipated payments for enforceable obligations during the covered period.

The Successor Agency is required to submit this ROPS for the period of July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027 to the Riverside County Oversight Board for approval by January 30, 2026, and the State Department of Finance, the State Controller's Office, and the County Auditor Controller no later than February 1, 2026.

Preparation of a Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule is in furtherance of allowing the Successor Agency to pay enforceable obligations of the former Redevelopment Agency.

Administrative Budget
The proposed administrative budget must include the following:
• Estimated amounts for Successor Agency administrative costs for the applicable six-month fiscal period
• Proposed sources of payment for the administrative costs; and • Proposals for arrangements for administrative and operations services provided by the City or other entity.

ABX1 26 provides that the Successor Agency may include, among others, the value of City staff, including employee benefits, necessary for the administration and operations of the Successor Agency; and the cost of other resources of the City necessary for the administration and operations of the Successor Agency, such as office space, supplies, equipment, utilities, and insurance.

ABX1 26 provides for an administrative cost allowance to annually be paid to the Successor Agency of not less than $250,000 a year. However, in the event there are insufficient funds to pay the former Redevelopment Agency's enforceable obligations, some or all the administrative cost allowance will be used to pay for the enforceable obligations, and these funds will not be available for administrative expenses of the Successor Agency.

The administrative cost allowance will exclude any administrative costs that can be paid from bond proceeds or from sources other than property tax. However, the use of bond proceeds to pay administrative expenses is subject to certain limitations.

The Successor Agency is now required to submit each proposed administrative budget to the County Oversight Board for its approval. The Successor Agency is also required to provide administrative cost estimates from its approved administrative budget that are to be paid from property tax revenues deposited in the Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund, to the County Auditor -Controller for each six-month fiscal period.

The attached Resolution approves the proposed administrative budget for FY 2026-27, which is attached as Exhibits A to the Resolution.

FISCAL IMPACT: Adoption of the proposed resolution will enable the Successor Agency to fulfill its enforceable obligations. In accordance with Health and Safety Code Section 34173(e), the liability of the Successor Agency, acting pursuant to the powers granted under Part

1.85, shall be limited to the extent of, and payable solely from, the total sum of property tax revenues it receives pursuant to Part 1.85 and the value of assets transferred to it as a successor agency for a dissolved redevelopment agency. The debts, assets, liabilities, and obligations of the Successor Agency shall be solely the debts, assets, liabilities, and obligations of the Successor Agency and not of the City.

CITY OF TEMECULA

AGENDA REPORT
TO: City Manager/City Council
FROM: Matt Peters, Director of Community Development
DATE: January 13, 2026
SUBJECT: Introduce Ordinance Amending Title 8 of the Temecula Municipal Code to Regulate Kratom Products (Long Range Project No. LR25-0438) PREPARED BY: Mark Collins, Senior Planner
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council introduce an ordinance entitled:

ORDINANCE NO.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
TEMECULA AMENDING TITLE 8 OF THE TEMECULA

MUNICIPAL CODE TO REGULATE THE SALE,

DISTRIBUTION, AND POSSESSION OF KRATOM

PRODUCTS, AND MAKE A FINDING THAT THIS

ORDINANCE IS EXEMPT FROM THE CALIFORNIA

ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) PURSUANT TO
CEQA GUIDELINES SECTION 15061 (b)(3)
SUMMARY OF ORDINANCE: The proposed Ordinance would make amendments to Titles 8 of the Temecula Municipal Code to regulate kratom products.

Listed below is a summary of the proposed changes to the Municipal Code:

Changes to Title 8 — Chapter 8.56 Psychoactive Bath Salts, Psychoactive Herbal Incense, and Other Synthetic Drugs:

1. Rename the Chapter "Psychoactive Products and Other Synthetic Drugs"

2. Add definitions:
a. "7-OH"
b. "Kratom leaf'
c. "Kratom leaf extract"
d. "Kratom product"
e. "Total alkaloid content"

3. Prohibit the sale, distribution, and possession of kratom products.

BACKGROUND: The City of Temecula City Council adopted the Municipal Code in January 1990. Since its adoption, the City Council has periodically made amendments to various sections of the Code to improve its clarity, make corrections, and implement state law. The proposed amendments to the Temecula Municipal Code include amendments to Title 8 (Health and Safety).

At its November 18, 2025, regular meeting, the City Council directed Staff to agendize an ordinance banning "kratom" consistent with Riverside County (Rahn).

Kratom (Mitragyna speciosa) is a tropical tree indigenous to Southeast Asia, primarily Thailand, but does occur naturally throughout the region. Kratom is in the same family as the coffee tree (Rubiaceae) and can reach a height of 50 feet and breadth of 15 feet.

Kratom leaves contain over 25 alkaloids, with the two major psychoactive ingredients being mitragynine and 7-hydroxymytragynine. Consumption of its leaves produces both stimulant effects similar to amphetamine (in low doses) and sedative effects similar to opioids (in high doses), and can lead to psychotic symptoms, and psychological and physiological dependence.

Consumption methods vary, from smoking dried leaves, brewing a tea from the leaves or grinding up the leaves and putting them in capsules for oral consumption.

According to the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH), kratom use has been associated with a range of adverse health impacts, including psychotic symptoms, dependence, and numerous side effects such as nausea, vomiting, sweating, tachycardia, seizures, hallucinations, and hepatotoxicity. According to the DEA, the abuse of kratom has increased markedly in recent years. Although kratom is often marketed for relief of pain, anxiety, opioid withdrawal, and fatigue, there are no FDA -approved medical uses for the substance. The FDA continues to monitor reports of adverse events, and current data suggest kratom's opioid-like properties may expose users to risks of addiction, abuse, and dependence.

Kratom is not currently regulated at the federal level, nor is it prohibited statewide in California.

FISCAL IMPACT: Community Development budgeted sufficient funds for the ordinance development, which will include administrative costs, and enforcement.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY

TEMECULA MUNICIPAL CODE TO REGULATE THE

SALE, DISTRIBUTION, AND POSSESSION OF KRATOM

PRODUCTS, AND MAKE A FINDING THAT THIS

ORDINANCE IS EXEMPT FROM THE CALIFORNIA

ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) PURSUANT
TO CEQA GUIDELINES SECTION 15061 (b)(3)

THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TEMECULA DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

Section 1. Procedural Findings. The City Council of the City of Temecula does hereby find, determine, and declare that:

A. It is the intent and purpose to prohibit the sale, distribution, or possession of kratom products (also known as 7-hydroxymitragynine or 7-OH) within the City of Temecula that contain more than two percent (2%) of 7-OH in the alkaloid fraction, recognizing the significant health risks associated with elevated concentrations of this alkaloid.

B. Kratom (mitragyna speciosa) is a tropical tree native to Southeast Asia, and its leaves are often consumed in powdered or extract form for their stimulant and sedative effects.

The active compounds in kratom include mitragynine and 7-OH. While mitragynine is present in higher concentrations, 7-OH is more potent and is largely responsible for the stronger pain - relieving, sedative, and euphoric effects.

C. Research has shown 7-OH has euphoric and mood -enhancing effects, particularly at higher doses, which can increase its appeal for recreational use. Research has also shown that 7-OH binds to opioid receptors in the brain with greater affinity than morphine, making it significantly more powerful in relieving pain. This greater potency raises significant concerns about its safety profile, especially regarding the potential for addiction, overdose, and adverse physical and psychological effects, including nausea, vomiting, and potential psychosis. These risks are compounded when products contain higher concentrations of 7-OH.

D. Health officials, such as the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and health advisories have raised concerns over the safety of kratom products, particularly those with higher concentrations of 7-OH, which may increase the potential for abuse and harm to public health. The FDA has issued several warning letters to various companies for illegally marketing products containing enhanced levels of 7-OH, culminating in a formal request to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) on July 29, 2025, to place 7-OH products on the controlled substance list; however, the DEA has not taken action on this request to date.

E. On October 28, 2025, Riverside County adopted Ordinance No. 1004, which prohibits the sale and distribution of kratom products containing more than two percent (2%) of 7- OH in the alkaloid fraction to individuals under 21 years of age.

F. Several cities in California have taken similar steps to regulate or ban kratom products, recognizing the need to protect public safety, especially among vulnerable populations, including Laguna Niguel, Newport Beach, Oceanside, and San Diego.

G. The City of Temecula prioritizes public health and safety above all and seeks to restrict the sale, distribution, and possession of kratom and 7-OH products containing more than two percent (2%) of 7-OH in the alkaloid fraction, thereby reducing potential risks to public health and safety.

H. The City Council, at a regular meeting, considered the Ordinance on January 13, 2026, at a duly noticed public hearing, as prescribed by law, at which time the City Staff and interested persons had an opportunity to and did testify either in support or opposition to this matter.

I. Following the public hearing, the City Council considered the entire record of information received at the public hearing before the City Council.

Section 2. Environmental Findings. The City Council hereby finds that this Ordinance is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, Section 15061(b)(3) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the Municipal Code amendments would have a significant impact on the environment. The Municipal Code amendments are minor policy changes, by way of imposition of regulations on a product that could harm public health. A Notice of Exemption has been prepared and will be filed in accordance with CEQA and the State CEQA Guidelines.

Section 3. The title of Chapter 8.56 (Psychoactive Bath Salts, Psychoactive Herbal Incense, and Other Synthetic Drugs) of Title 8 (Health and Safety) of the Temecula Municipal Code is hereby amended as follows (with additions appearing in underlined text):

Section 4. Section 8.56.010 (Purpose and intent) of Chapter 8.56 (Psychoactive Products and Other Synthetic Drugs) of Title 8 (Business License and Regulations) of the Temecula Municipal Code is hereby amended as follows (with additions appearing in underlined text, and deletions shown in strikethrough text), with the remainder of Section 8.56.010 remaining unchanged:
!tisrss��r��rysrr�e!�ersrsr

This ehapter- shall not apply to any aetivity already regulated by the state synthetie drug laws, the CSA or- any other applicable state or federal law or r-eg la4io . Kratom (Mitragyna speciosa) and products derived from it contain the alkaloids mitragynine and 7-hydrox, mitra ynine ("7-OH"), with 7-OH being significantly more potent and capable of producing stronger psychoactive effects. Products with elevated concentrations of 7- OH increase the risk of addiction, overdose, and other adverse physical or psychological effects.

To address the potential for misuse and the health and safety impacts associated with higher - potency kratom products, this chapter regulates kratom products containing more than two percent (2%) 7-OH in the alkaloid fraction.

F. An effective way prevent and abate the health, safety and welfare concerns that exist as a result of the marketing, distribution and sale of synthetic drugs, kratom, and kratom- derived substances in manners that brazenly seek to circumvent state and federal law is through the administrative, civil, and criminal enforcement procedures set forth in Title 1 of this code. This chapter shall not apply to any activity already regulated by the state synthetic drug laws, the CSA or any other applicable state or federal law or regulation." Section 5. Section 8.56.020 (Definitions) of Chapter 8.56 (Psychoactive Products and Other Synthetic Drugs) of Title 8 (Business License and Regulations) of the Temecula Municipal Code is hereby amended to add the following definitions (shown in underlined text), with all other existing definitions of Section 8.56.020 remaining unchanged:

"Total alkaloid content" means the sum of mitragynine, speciociliatine, speciogynine, pMmantheine, and 7-OH in a Kratom product.

Section 6. The title of Section 8.56.030 (Possession, storage, provision, sale and distribution of synthetic drugs prohibited) of Chapter 8.56 (Psychoactive Products and Other Synthetic Drugs) of Title 8 (Business License and Regulations) of the Temecula Municipal Code is hereby amended as follows (with additions appearing in underlined text):

Section 7. Section 8.56.030 (Possession, storage, provision, sale and distribution of synthetic drugs or Kratom products prohibited) of Chapter 8.56 (Psychoactive Products and Other Synthetic Drugs) of Title 8 (Business License and Regulations) of the Temecula Municipal Code is hereby amended as follows (with additions appearing in underlined text), with the remainder of Section 8.56.030 remaining unchanged:
"A. It is unlawful for any person to possess, store, provide, distribute or sell any synthetic drug or Kratom product within the city.

B. It is unlawful for any person to store, provide, sell or distribute or to permit the storage, provision, sale or distribution of synthetic drugs or Kratom products from any real property owned, possessed, managed or controlled by that person in the city.

D. The enforcing officer may consider any of the following evidentiary factors to determine if the product is a synthetic drug or Kratom product:

D(8). Merely disclaiming a synthetic drug or Kratom product as "not safe for human consumption" will not avoid the application of this section." Section 8. Section 8.56.050 (Public nuisance) of Chapter 8.56 (Psychoactive Products and Other Synthetic Drugs) of Title 8 (Business License and Regulations) of the Temecula Municipal Code is hereby amended as follows (with additions appearing in underlined text):
"A. It is a public nuisance for any person to provide, distribute, or sell any prohibited synthetic drug or Kratom product.

B. It is a public nuisance for any person to allow the provision, distribution, or sale of any prohibited synthetic drug or Kratom product on property owned, controlled or managed by such person.

C. It is a public nuisance for any person to provide, distribute, or sell any substance claimed or represented to be a prohibited synthetic drug or Kratom product.

D. It is a public nuisance for any person to allow the provision, distribution, or sale of any substance claimed or represented to be a prohibited synthetic drug or Kratom product on property owned, controlled or managed by such person.

E. The storage, provision, sale or distribution of any synthetic drug or Kratom product from any property, structure or building in the city is declared to be a public nuisance." Section 9. The title of Section 8.56.060 (Confiscation of synthetic drugs) of Chapter

Any police officer who issues a criminal citation under this chapter shall confiscate any synthetic drugs or Kratom products and store them, pending the conclusion of the criminal case." Section 11. Severability. If any section or provision of this Ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional by any court of competent jurisdiction, or contravened by reason of any preemptive legislation, the remaining sections and/or provisions of this Ordinance shall remain valid. The City Council hereby declares that it would have adopted this Ordinance, and each section or provision thereof, regardless of the fact that any one or more section(s) or provision(s) may be declared invalid or unconstitutional or contravened via legislation.

CITY OF TEMECULA

AGENDA REPORT
TO: City Manager/City Council
FROM: Kevin Hawkins, Assistant City Manager
DATE: January 13, 2026
SUBJECT: Approve Voluntary Intergovernmental Agreement Between the City of Temecula and the Pechanga Band of Indians (At the Request of Pechanga Tribal Council Representatives Rahn and Schwank)
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council approve a voluntary Intergovernmental Agreement between the City of Temecula and the Pechanga Band of Indians in substantial form.

This voluntary Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) renews and strengthens the long-standing partnership between the City of Temecula (City) and the Pechanga Band of Indians (Tribe), fostering continued collaboration on public safety, infrastructure, and community investment initiatives that advance shared goals and enhance quality of life throughout the Temecula Valley.

BACKGROUND: The City of Temecula and the Pechanga Band of Indians have long maintained a strong government -to -government partnership rooted in collaboration, mutual respect, and a shared commitment to community well-being. The Pechanga Band of Indians can offset or seek credits against any payment due to the State of California for the ability to host gaming activities. Pechanga generates substantial positive economic, fiscal, and social impacts in Temecula, Riverside County, and surrounding areas. Through direct expenditures related to the tribal government and the operation of gaming and non -gaming -related businesses (such as Pechanga Resort Casino, Temecula Creek Inn, and Pechanga RV Resort), the Tribe actively supports the local economy by making significant contributions to local employment, wages, production, and more.

Since 2004, Pechanga has provided over $40 million to the City for critical infrastructure improvements and public safety enhancements —contributing to projects such as the I-15 South/Temecula Parkway off -ramp improvements and construction of the Northbound auxiliary lane from Temecula Parkway to Rancho California Road.

In 2021, Pechanga's government operations and gaming and non -gaming businesses in Riverside County collectively contributed to an estimated total economic output of $1.1 billion. This supported 6,468 jobs, contributed $313.6 million in total labor income (wages and benefits), and generated $154.4 million in tax revenue at various government levels. Statewide, estimated

economic output reached $1.3 billion, supporting 7,279 jobs, contributing a total of $384.7 million in labor income, and generating $181.2 million in tax revenue.

Building on the framework established in the prior Intergovernmental Agreements, the 2025 IGA continues and expands upon this cooperative relationship. The Agreement is intended to:
• Strengthen the long-term government -to -government relationship between the City and the Tribe.
• Establish a collaborative process for dispute resolution and coordinated project delivery. • Identify joint opportunities for public safety services, infrastructure enhancements, and capital investment benefiting both the tribal and local communities.

Under this renewed Agreement, Pechanga will make a voluntary annual contribution of $950,000 into the Pechanga Community Fund, dedicated to funding programs and projects mutually agreed upon by the Pechanga Tribal Council and the City.

Funding will focus on:
• Additional public safety services
• Traffic improvement projects and maintenance; and
• Financial contributions or loans supporting mutually agreed -upon capital projects.

The Tribe and City recognize that future Capital Improvement Projects may arise. As a result, this agreement allows for additional consideration between the Tribe and City for additional grants for specific Capital Improvement Projects.

This year, Pechanga will also make a one-time grant deposit of Eight Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars ($850,000) into the Pechanga Community Fund for these purposes.

This current Agreement will be effective as of July 1, 2025, with an initial three-year term ending June 30, 2028, an annual contribution which has been increased to $950,000 and provides for three-year extension options at the discretion of the Tribe, aligned with the duration of the Tribe's current Tribal -State Compact.

This continued partnership reinforces Pechanga's and the City's joint vision for community investment, fiscal responsibility, and regional collaboration that enhances the overall quality of life throughout the Temecula Valley.

FISCAL IMPACT: The $950,000 Annual Contribution and the one-time payment of $850,000 for yet to be identified Work Plan of projects/programs focused on additional public safety services, traffic improvement projects and maintenance and financial contributions or loans supporting mutually agreed -upon capital projects.

9 MUTUAL LIMITED WAIVER OF SOVEREIGN IMMUNITY

9.1 The Parties agree that the Parties' waiver of immunity from arbitration or suit, or the enforcement of any order or judgment related thereto, is limited to the express provisions of Sections 7 and 8 of this Agreement, and neither the agreement to arbitrate nor any other provision of this Agreement shall be construed as creating any implied waiver of such immunity.

9.2 The Parties each expressly covenant and agree that they may each sue and be sued, including the resolution of disputes in arbitration and the judicial enforcement thereof, as provided in Sections 7 and 8 above, to resolve any controversy arising from this Agreement or to enforce or interpret the terms and conditions of this Agreement, as provided for in this Agreement. The Parties, their officers and agents expressly agree to waive governmental immunities, including sovereign immunity, in connection with any claims arising from this Agreement, as provided for herein for the enforcement of any arbitration award, or judgment to enforce such an award, or enforcement of any easement created as a result of this Agreement. The Parties further consent to the jurisdiction of an arbitrator and/or specified court under this Agreement including the consent to be sued and bound by a lawful order or judgment, to the extent provided for herein. Each of the Parties represent that its agreement to such dispute resolution processes and waivers has been effectively and lawfully granted and that nothing further needs to be done to effectuate those processes.

9.3 With respect to any action arising out of the Agreement for which there is a waiver of sovereign immunity, the Tribe and City expressly consent to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Central District of California and, as limited herein to, the Superior Court of the State of California for Riverside County and all related appellate courts, and/or an arbitrator selected pursuant to this Agreement and specifically waive sovereign immunity for that purpose.

The Parties specifically agree that the applicable court shall have jurisdiction to enter judgments enforcing rights and remedies provided for in this Agreement which shall be binding and enforceable on the Parties, subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement. No Party to this Agreement shall contest jurisdiction or venue of the above -referenced courts, provided their jurisdiction and venue are invoked in the order specified, but only for disputes or claims arising out of this Agreement. Neither the Tribe nor the City shall plead or invoke the doctrine of exhaustion of Tribal or other administrative remedies, defenses of immunity or indispensable Parties beyond those contemplated in this Agreement.

9.4 The City and the Tribe may not join or consent to the joinder of any third party to any action (including but not limited to any arbitration) contemplated herein, unless failure to join such party would deprive the court or arbitration tribunal of jurisdiction; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to constitute a waiver of the sovereign immunity or other protection from lawsuit (or other dispute resolution process), or the effect, orders or judgments thereof, of either the Tribe or the City with respect to any claim of any kind by any such third party. In the event of intervention by any third party into any such action without the consent of the Tribe and the City, nothing herein shall be construed to constitute a waiver of any immunity 7 January 13, 2026
with respect to such third party, and no arbitrator or court shall have jurisdiction to award any relief or issue any order as against the City or Tribe with respect to such third party in that or any other proceeding.
10 MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

10.1 No Authority Over Tribal Activities. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to confer or expand the jurisdiction of any local, state or federal agency or other governmental body, nor is this Agreement intended to infringe or otherwise usurp the authority of any regulatory body including local, state, federal or Tribal agencies that may have jurisdiction over or related to Tribal activities, development or Projects. Further, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Tribe's obligation to comply with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) as may be required as part of any trust application or any other Project requirement.

10.2 No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is not intended to, and shall not be construed to, create any right on the part of a third party including, without limitation, no rights in any Interested Persons, nor does it create any private right of action for any third party nor permit any third party to bring an action to enforce any of its terms.

10.3 Amendments. This Agreement may be modified or amended only by mutual and written agreement of the Parties.

10.4 Final Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire agreement of the Parties as to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes any other agreements of the Parties to the contrary, except for those certain "Intergovernmental Agreement" between the Tribe and the City dated as of November 17, 2015; and July 1, 2021 which agreements shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms without any changes. However, this Agreement shall not prohibit any future agreements contemplated by the Parties. Except as provided above, the Agreement is intended both as the final expression of the agreement between the Parties with respect to the included terms and as a complete and exclusive statement of the terms of the Agreement consistent with California Code of Civil Procedure section 1856. No modification of this Agreement shall be effective unless and until such modification is evidenced by a writing approved and signed by the Parties.

10.5 Severability of Provisions. The invalidity of any provisions or portion of this Agreement as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or any State or federal agency having jurisdiction and thereof and the authority to do so, shall not affect the validity of any other provisions of this Agreement or the remaining portions of the applicable provisions, unless such provision is material to the reasonable expectation of the Parties. Without limiting the foregoing, if any provision of the Agreement is declared invalid as aforesaid, then the Parties shall use their best efforts to renegotiate the terms of the invalid provisions.

10.6 Force Majeure. The Parties shall not be liable for any failure to perform, or for delay in performance of a Party's obligations, and such performance shall be excused for the period of the delay and the period of the performance shall be extended when a force majeure event occurs; provided however that the party whose performance is prevented or delayed by such event of force majeure shall give prompt written notice (i.e., within seventy-two (72) hours of the event)

January 13, 2026
of such event to the other party. For purposes of this Section, the term "force majeure" shall include, without limitation, war, epidemic, rebellion, riot, civil disturbance, earthquake, fire, flood, acts of governmental authorities (other than the City or Tribe), acts of God, acts of terrorism (whether actual or threatened), acts of the public enemy and in general, any other severe causes or conditions beyond the reasonable control of the Parties, the consequences of which in each case, by exercise of due foresight such party could not reasonably have been expected to avoid, and which by the exercise of due diligence it would not have been able to overcome, when such an event prevents the Tribe from performing at a level sufficient to meet its obligations under this Agreement due to substantial changes in the Tribe's ability to offer gaming activities, ceasing the gaming or hotel operations for an extended period, or prevents the City from meeting its obligations under this Agreement due to an interruption of City government operations. An interruption of performance, or the delayed occurrence of any event, under this Agreement caused by an event of force majeure shall as far as practical be remedied with all reasonable dispatch.

During any period in which a party is excused from performance by reason of the occurrence of an event of force majeure, the party so excused shall promptly, diligently, and in good faith take all reasonable action required in order for it to be able to commence or resume performance of its obligations under this Agreement.

10.7 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed according to applicable federal and California substantive law to the extent not inconsistent with the express provisions of this Agreement, unless federal law as to the Tribe or the City, or California law as to the City, prohibits such Parties from abiding by such express provision, in which case the provision will be deemed to be invalid and resolved, if possible, under the severability provisions in Section 13.5.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, California rules of construction shall be applied in interpreting this Agreement. This Agreement shall be deemed to have been drafted jointly by the Parties and shall not be construed as having been drafted by, or construed against, one Party against another.

10.8 Term; Obligations to Continue. The Term of this Agreement shall be for the period of three (3) years, unless sooner terminated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The Tribe shall have the option to extend this Agreement in three-year increments until the expiration or termination of the Compact in place at the time of this Agreement. Unless specifically designated otherwise, all of the Parties' obligations under this Agreement shall continue through the Term, including any extensions thereof. Notwithstanding the end of the Term, any covenant, term or provision of this Agreement which, in order to be effective, or is necessary to enforce an unfulfilled material term of this Agreement or obligation that may continue beyond the end of the Term shall survive termination.

Because the Tribe's ability to dedicate these funds to the City are predicated on the Tribe's gaming rights that exist as of the effective date of this Agreement, the Tribe shall have the right to amend or terminate this Agreement in the event of a change in California or federal law expanding gaming to non -tribal entities. The Tribe shall provide 90 days' written notice informing the City of its intent to either amend or terminate the Agreement;

10.9 Payments. Unless otherwise indicated, all payments made pursuant to this Agreement shall be made payable to the City of Temecula. For projects and services identified in the Work Plan, payments shall be made as scheduled in the Work Plan.

Subject:Support for Designating Ron H. Roberts Temecula Public Library as a FamilySearch Affiliate Library
Dear Ginger,
On behalf of the Temecula Valley Genealogical Society, I am writing to express our enthusiastic support for entering into a partnership with FamilySearch.org to designate the Ron H. Roberts Temecula Public Library as a FamilySearch Affiliate Library.This partnership would be of significant benefit not only to our society's members but to the broader Temecula community.

As a FamilySearch Affiliate Library, our library would be providing public access to millions of digitized historical records that are normally restricted from at-home users.These include images of birth, marriage,death, land, probate, immigration, and church records from around the world.This access is made available through FamilySearch,which operates the world's largest free genealogy website.

The mission of the Temecula Valley Genealogical Society is to help individuals discover, preserve, and share their family histories. Being able to research these valuable records locally—without requiring travel to a FamilySearch Family History Center—greatly enhances our ability to educate and assist both beginning and experienced researchers.

Our members regularly offer volunteer assistance at the library, providing personalized help to residents seeking to explore their ancestry. Having Affiliate Library status would allow us to guide patrons through accessing unique digitized records on-site,enabling richer and more accurate research.

This designation is more than a genealogical resource—it's a community enrichment tool. Becoming a FamilySearch Affiliate Library would:
• Support educational initiatives and local school research projects • Offer value to veterans, immigrants,and long-time residents seeking to trace their roots • Promote civic pride through the preservation of community and family history • Boost library traffic and use of public computer resources r

There is no cost to the city or library to become an Affiliate Library.The only requirement is to maintain internet-connected computers with a static IP address and agree to standard FamilySearch terms.

We believe this partnership would be an outstanding enhancement to the services our city offers, and we are ready to assist with volunteer staffing, promotional outreach, and training support.

We appreciate your consideration of this opportunity and would welcome the chance to speak further or assist in the application process.

I am sorry the notice this morning, notifying us we could use the January dates, without charge was too late. Our newsletter is sent on January 1st and it was necessary to cancel the onsite meeting and relay on Zoom and then we had notify in person speakers of the change.

Barbara Perez
Hi Rishann,
Happy New Year, and thank you for the update. We appreciate you adding our January dates to the Library schedule. At the current hourly rate, we will not be able to utilize the January dates that have been placed on the schedule unless an alternative arrangement is identified.

At this time, however, we are not able to finalize the Sponsorship Agreement for 2026. The fee structure we have been quoted—$39 per hour—results in an annual cost that exceeds the entire operating budget of the Temecula Valley Genealogical Society. Unfortunately, we do not currently have the income to support this level of expense.

In past years, these fees were waived as part of the partnership we had with the City and the Library, which allowed TVGS to continue providing free educational programming to the community. We were also made aware of the new hourly rate less than a month before it was to take effect, which has made it especially difficult for us to adjust or plan accordingly. In addition, the programs scheduled for January 9 and 12 were already rearranged due to the short timeframe between notification and the first event.

In addition, TVGS has long supported both the community and the Library by supplying genealogy resource books that have helped build one of the strongest 0enealo0v collections in the area as well as by nrovidinn volunteer-led nenealoav

, 1
shared mission to serve the public.

Given the impact of this change on our ability to continue programming, we would appreciate guidance on the appropriate process for requesting an administrative review or exception to the current fee structure. Our goal is to remain engaged and transparent while exploring whether a continuation of our prior partnership arrangement may be possible.

TVGS would very much like to continue our long-standing relationship with the Library and to maintain the full 2026 schedule we previously submitted, as we have done for many years. That said, we are unable at this time to commit to the proposed hourly rate.

We hope there may be an opportunity to revisit the fee structure or explore alternative arrangements that would allow us to continue offering our free educational programs to the community while remaining financially sustainable as a nonprofit organization.

Thank you again for your understanding, and we look forward to continuing the conversation.

Warm regards,

Good evening Mayor and Council,

I’m requesting you place a future agenda item directing staff to adopt a **Roundabout-First ICE policy** and a **signal-to-roundabout conversion program**.

Temecula has many signalized intersections; signals are costly to maintain and high-severity angle crashes remain a concern.

IIHS and FHWA summarize U.S. studies showing converting intersections to modern roundabouts reduces injury crashes roughly **72–80%**, and FHWA notes signals can cost **$5,000–$10,000 per year** in ongoing maintenance and electrical costs.

Please prioritize an ICE at **Rancho California x Ynez Rd and Temecula Pkwy x Pechanga Pkwy** and return with a ranked list of candidate intersections for conversion. Thank you

Regards,

City Council of Temecula,
My name is Jenna McGraw and I am currently a resident of the Warehouse on Creekside on 3rd street here in Old Town Temecula.

I was hoping to attend the City Council meeting today to comment in conjunction with the same topic that Laurel LaMont is speaking to this evening. However, I am a mother of two under three and could not secure childcare.

I will attend in the future to share some of my personal experience as a resident. My main hope is for the City Council to recognize that the residents here are hard working individuals who are doing our best to live, raise families, and contribute to our community. Personally I am a full time Mom, hold two jobs, and volunteer by serving at our church and daughter’s preschool all here in Temecula. I want to stay in this community and City we love and continue to contribute, but that dream seems further out of reach everyday. I wish that the “affordable housing” we are in truly was a building that enabled families like mine the ability to live in humane conditions and work our way out to a home and full life in a beautiful city like Temecula. However I know myself and my neighbors have experienced maintenance issues from our move in dates that aren’t addressed or never being fully repaired. The quality of our water is terrible.

My poor neighbor Sarah has lived with two kids and no washer and dryer for almost a year now. All of this while they check our income and see on paper that we can’t afford the raises in rent they oppose on us, that don’t even follow the addendum they make us sign in our leases. I know many of us are so exhausted we just give up and deal with the living conditions as they are because we don’t have the energy to fight back when CGR says the maintenance issue is a tenant responsibility, or like I’ve been told “the city approved this increase, if you need to find an alternative form of housing we understand.” Which by the way happened while our entire downstairs was flooded and needed repairs they took over a month to get started on. It’s sad to find that many of my neighbors have similar stories. We put up with a lot here because when it comes down to it we are all extremely grateful to just have a roof over our heads! I hope the City will start to help and back its residents here who love this city, want to be contributing members, but do need help establishing their voice and place in this community.

Thank you for your consideration in this matter, and all that you do to make Temecula such a wonderful city to live in!

Jenna McGraw

CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe.

My name is Venus Usher, and I strongly oppose overly restrictive regulation or prohibition of kratom products in Temecula. Plain leaf kratom tea is the only thing that has allowed me to manage chronic pain and stay functional, safe, and out of harm’s way when so many FDA approved medicines failed me.

Kratom has given people like me a chance at dignity, stability, and quality of life, not because we’re chasing a high, but because we’re seeking relief without dangerous, addictive pharmaceuticals. Bans or heavy restrictions do not stop use; they push people toward unregulated, illicit markets where products are unsafe and riskier. If there are legitimate safety concerns, the sensible path is reasonable regulation such as age limits, clear labeling, and quality standards, not punitive measures that criminalize responsible adult users.

Temecula can protect its community without punishing people who depend on this plant for relief. I urge the Council to reject extreme restrictions and choose balanced, evidence based policy.

Thank you for including my comment in the public record.

1 Subject:FW: Kratom

From: Jordan Richard
Subject: Kratom

CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe.

Dear Members of the Temecula City Council,

My name is Jordan Richard. I am the author of The Truth About Kratom: Life-Saving Plant or Botanical Menace? and have spent the last several years traveling throughout the United States and Southeast Asia interviewing leading scientists, policymakers, and regulatory experts on kratom. This includes experts from Johns Hopkins University and individuals who have worked directly with the FDA.

I want to be very clear at the outset: I fully support reasonable regulation of natural kratom leaf, and I strongly support banning synthetic 7-hydroxymitragynine (7-OH) products. These are two very different substances, and treating them as the same is a serious and dangerous mistake.

Kratom is a natural leaf in the coffee family that has been used in Southeast Asia for over 1,000 years. It is deeply ingrained in Indonesian culture and daily life. I have personally visited the villages where it is grown and used. There is no historical record of deaths caused by traditional kratom leaf use in these regions.

Johns Hopkins researchers have determined that kratom is approximately 1,000 times safer than traditional opioids and many thousands of times safer than substances like heroin or fentanyl. Johns Hopkins has also clearly stated that natural kratom has a low potential for abuse, while isolated or synthetic 7-hydroxymitragynine has a high abuse potential.

2 The FDA has recently made it clear that it is not targeting natural kratom leaf, but rather synthetic and highly concentrated 7-OH products. Unfortunately, many companies selling 7-OH products are falsely marketing them as “kratom,” when they are not. This is creating confusion for lawmakers and the public.

7-hydroxymitragynine is not naturally present in meaningful amounts in the kratom leaf.

It is a metabolite of mitragynine that forms in microscopic quantities due to oxidation. In raw leaf material, 7-OH is either not detectable or present at less than 0.0 01%. These new products contain levels of 7-OH that are thousands of times stronger than what occurs naturally in the plant. They are synthetic or chemically manipulated substances, not a natural botanical.

To put this into perspective, there is significantly more opioid content in a common poppy seed bagel sold at a grocery store than the trace amounts of 7-OH found in natural kratom leaf. Yet these 7-OH products are being manufactured at concentrations roughly 6,000 times higher than what nature produces.

On a personal note, I have been a daily kratom user for over 13 years. Before kratom, I was a severe heroin addict. Because of kratom, I was able to recover, get married, have children, build a business, and live a stable, productive life. Kratom did not destroy my life. It saved it.

Since then, I have become one of the most recognized experts on this subject, have written what is widely considered the most downloaded book on kratom, and have been featured in the Los Angeles Times for my work and expertise. There are now over 450 published scientific studies on kratom, many of which support its relative safety when compared to traditional opioids.

I respectfully urge the Temecula City Council to follow the example set by Riverside County, Orange County, and numerous other cities and states that have made the correct distinction: ban synthetic 7-OH products while allowing regulated access to natural kratom leaf.

Banning natural kratom will harm responsible adults and people in recovery, while doing nothing to address the real problem. Targeting 7-OH protects public safety without punishing those who rely on a traditional, natural plant that has helped countless people rebuild their lives.

3 Thank you for your time and consideration. Would be more than happy to answer any questions.

Hello I am writing to support the regulation of kratom and all its alkaloids especially 7OH. Banning any or all of the product would cause harm to hundreds of thousands of people, myself included. I was born and raised in California and i pride my state with plant medicine. here is my journey with kratom for almost 9yrs now 2 1/2 yrs with 7oh

My Kratom journey I have been using Kratom for the last 8yrs after being on pain medication for 30yrs anxiety and depression meds for 10. I have degenerative and cervical disc disease, spinal stenosis, herniated and bulging disc, bone spurs on the spine, which has given me scoliosis as an adult , fibromyalgia, trigeminal neuralgia aka suicide disease, basically I live with 10/20 of the most painful conditions to live with and many more other chronic pain conditions. I was just diagnosed with Raynauds and lupus 1/12/26 I lost my mother to the pain clinic and big pharmas drugs in April 2013...She didn't abuse them, she took less than what she was prescribed, but tramadol and morphine took her life. After losing my parents 7 months apart and seen what the struggled with medication wise per Dr's orders and how it destroyed them...I vowed to live a holistic as possible life style. I just recently came off my blood pressure medication as well. In 8 yrs I haven't had to consume over 50,000 pills. I get yearly blood work, as well as yearly ultra sounds on my organs. I have improved so much and all under my Dr's care with tapering off off my medications.... my blood work and organs scans have improved every year as well as my organs reversing the damage that the medication has done for the most part. Without kratom i wouldn't be able to enjoy the simple things in life such as taking a simple walk outside or just the ability to get out of bed daily. I don't believe I would still be alive today if it wasnt for kratom. Thank you for your time. pleaae keep kratom and all its alkaloids legal.

City Council Presentation
Thank you, Mayor, City Manager,and Members of the City Council,for allowing me to speak today.

My name is Barbara Perez, and I am the President of the Temecula Valley Genealogical Society. We are a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization that has proudly served this community for more than 27 years.

Our story began in January of 1998,when we held our very first meeting. That evening, attendance exceeded 90 people, and most of those in attendance became members. Among them was Jeanne Roberts, who shared her deep passion for family history and genealogy with her husband, Ron Roberts.

When the Ronald H. Roberts Temecula Public Library was built in 2007,Ron worked directly with our society to create a dedicated genealogy space—shelving for books and a room for research, consultation, and education. Upon the library's completion,the society was given a $2,000 grant with which to select and purchase books to help establish the genealogy collection.

From that point forward,a true partnership was formed.

For many years,the library was our home. We held monthly public meetings with guest speakers, DNA education classes with qualified paid presenters, a computer users group, genealogy education classes focusing on ethnic research such as Italian, Hispanic, and German genealogy,a writers group, and our monthly board meetings. All meetings were free and open to the public.

Each October,during Family History Month,we hosted an open house for the community, inviting other local organizations—such as the Temecula Valley Historical Society to participate. Just this November, we delivered an additional 500 books to the library's collection, which we have been expanding over the years. Many of these recent books are out of print, include first editions,and date to the 1700s and 1800s.At a conservative estimate of$35 per book,that represents a$17,500 contribution to the library. There is another group of approximately 1,000 books currently being reviewed by TVGS for possible placement during 2026.

This was not simply room usage. It was a partnership built on shared goals, public service, and community enrichment.

Everything changed on December 10,2025,when we received a letter from the City's Rental Supervisor stating that the nonprofit room rental fee of$39 per hour—which had historically been waived—would no longer be waived,though the kitchen fee would be,resulting in what was described as a$900 savings.

Under the proposed terms, our monthly cost would be $351. Over eleven months—we are dark in August—that totals $3,861. Our entire 2026 operating budget is$3,205. These fees would exceed our budget and force the Temecula Valley Genealogical Society to close.

As a result,earlier this month we were forced to move our general meeting and DNA class to Zoom, even though both speakers were scheduled to present in person. We also had to install our new board online. This is not our preference,nor does it serve the community as well as in- person programming.

This year is also America's Semiquincentennial. We have devoted countless volunteer hours to ensuring that Temecula is visible and engaged in America250 activities, working collaboratively with city and community partners. We want to continue being recognized as a vital asset to the library and to the City of Temecula.

I want to be very clear: without a consistent annual agreement with the city—similar to what we have had for many years—we cannot function. Each year, uncertainty about fees and access makes long-term planning impossible. For decades,this relationship operated under would be described as a"gentleman's agreement."Both the city and the library have searched for documentation,and while no formal contract was found,we were repeatedly told that our society holds a unique position.

Today, we are respectfully requesting approval of an annual agreement that continues the long- standing waiver of nonprofit room rental fees and provides stability for our organization to plan and serve the public. We are not requesting a new exception, but rather the continuation of a partnership and practice that has existed successfully for nearly two decades.

I would also like to address a second matter.

In October 2023, I learned that the Carlsbad Library became a FamilySearch Affiliate Library. I gathered the necessary information,obtained a contract,and—after board approval—met with the Temecula library's branch manager. This partnership would allow library patrons to access FamilySearch resources normally only available at Family History Centers, directly from our library.

If approved at that time, Temecula would have become the first Affiliate Library in Riverside County.Nationwide,there are currently 3,497 Affiliate Libraries,with hundreds more worldwide—including Mexico,Japan, Ukraine, and Zimbabwe.

When the contract was submitted, it was reviewed by the city attorney and ultimately denied due to concerns about copyright issues. That response was simply "no,"with no opportunity for clarification or discussion. This decision resulted in a significant missed opportunity—not only for our society,but for the library and the broader Temecula community.

We respect that review;however,we respectfully request the opportunity for further discussion, clarification,and reconsideration of this partnership to address those concerns.

Our relationship with the library and the city has been—and remains—deeply important to us.

We respectfully ask the council to reconsider the continuation of our long-standing annual agreement with waived fees, and to revisit the Affiliate Library request so that its benefits can be fully evaluated. We stand ready to work collaboratively with the city,the library, and legal counsel to address concerns and strengthen a partnership that has served Temecula well for nearly three decades
For nearly two decades,this partnership has strengthened public education,preserved history, and served the people of Temecula. We respectfully ask that it be allowed to continue. Thank you for your time,your consideration, and for your continued commitment to the people of Temecula.
