BACKGROUND:

In November 2022, the County of San Bernardino requested funding applications for the use of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds for use within the City of Twentynine Palms. Notices were sent to nonprofit organizations that have applied in the past. The City and five non-profit agencies submitted funding applications.

During the months of December and early January, the Community Housing Development Department (CDH) reviewed all project application proposals for their eligibility and conformance to federal requirements. The department then forwarded the list of eligible project proposals to the City for funding recommendation and prioritization.

The City is estimated to receive approximately +/- $163,002 in CDBG funds for Fiscal Year 2023/2024. The requests for funding from all agencies total $220,000.

Each year, the City invites non-profit organizations to present information regarding their funding request followed by questions from the City Council. Each presenter will be allotted three (3) minutes. Presentations will be conducted by; Mil-Tree Veteran Integration Project, Reach Out Morongo Basin, Twentynine Palms Community Food Pantry, Morongo Basin Unity Home, the Twentynine Palms Adult Literacy Program and the City of Twentynine Palms Parks and Recreation Department.

Eligible Public Service - Services are limited to low- and moderate-income clients and requires documentation of at least 51% of the clients are low- to moderate-income.

Client eligibility (for all clients including illiterate adults) must be evidenced by documentation and data concerning beneficiary family size and income. CDBG funds will be used to pay for personnel services. Services are provided by San Bernardino County Library Department staff and volunteers. Service Location: 6078 Adobe Road, Twentynine Palms, CA 92277.

Prior to COVID-19, the San Bernardino County Library Adult Literacy Program saw gradual increases in the number of learners served at each location. However, after COVID-19, the number of patrons who visited the library has significantly decreased.

This has directly impacted how many potential learners came into the branch as well as how many current learners felt comfortable returning to the program due to health and safety. Therefore, the number of learners served has not increased this year, but the expansion of the program has included the following: (1) expansion of support hours provided by the library staff to tutors who need training; (2) expansion of support hours provided by the library staff to learners who need additional resources and meetings to revisit roles and goals; (3) expansion of library of materials and curriculum used to teach adult learners how to improve reading and writing; (4) expansion of hours available for tutors and learners to meet together in the Library for tutoring sessions (formerly limited to 1-2 hours per week will now expand to 3+ hours per week, depending on the tutor-learner pair’s availability, willingness to meet more, and need to meet a specific goal); and (5) expansion of outreach and planning to promote the program to the local community (higher number of community connections, more meetings with adult-literacy-assigned-library-staff to develop awareness events and strategize to bring in more learners and tutors).

This results in them becoming more socially prepared to participate in all the County has to offer. Additionally, the Adult Literacy program supports the county’s Cradle to Career Road Map to achieve the Countywide vision. When we teach illiterate adults to read, we are not only helping them but are also helping their children, as parents who read are able to support the literacy support a child needs to succeed.

7 This program focuses on adult individuals who are illiterate or who have low literacy skills. The County Library Adult Literacy Program provides a no cost alternative for adults to gain these skills.
2023 2024
This program is funded primarily through the Library Department budget. Additional State and County funding helps the Library Department to expand the program and reach a larger audience than would be possible through internal funding alone. The Literacy Program is a multi-branch program, with branch staff interacting with learners and tutors while reporting is overseen by administrative staff. We have taken steps to ensure that any staff turnover will not impede the Literacy Program and that services would continue to be offered through the cross-training of staff.

The Adult Literacy Services Program assesses illiterate and presumed low-income adults and senior residents of Twentynine Palms, and provides those that qualify with programming, tutoring, and instruction to aid them in meeting their literacy goals.

Per recent U.S. National Assessment of Adult Literacy, one in seven adults have difficulty reading anything more challenging than a child’s picture book. It is estimated that at 3.4 million Californians fall at the “Below Basic” Literacy Level. In the County of San Bernardino alone, it is estimated that at least 500,000 adults cannot read at all. This service provides assistance to adults who fall into this category.

Mil-Tree’s priority is to create safe spaces for veterans to re-enter the greater community with ease and even joy with programming that is engaging and generates inclusiveness. Our free writing, art, music, building, rock climbing, workshops, retreats and opera outings, allow veterans to interact with active military and civilians in an environment that doesn’t evoke stress. Our programming is led by professional personal whether they artists -- of all media, permaculturists, builders, rock climbers, educators or veteran activists. Our program leaders understand the challenges that veterans face coming home and they create friendly environments to explore the self, the community in relationship to the past, present and future.

Friendships are made within the varied cross section of community as confidence is built upon bit by bit. In 2023 -2024. Mil-Tree’s goal is to reach 10 to 20 low income veterans per activity alongside active military, family members and civilians.

Describe how this project meets the priority population and activities selected.

Explain why this project is needed and what evidence can you substantiate the need.

Describe what gaps of service in the county this project fills.

What are the critical factors for the success of your project (include both financial and human resources)? For instance, is this the only funding for this project? What happens if funding decreases? Does this project rely on only one source of leveraging? Is there adequate staff involved with the project if there is project turnover? Please address any factor that is critical to project success.
7 Mil-Tree fills gaps by offering programs that bring veterans and community together through a variety of FREE creative outlets such as visual arts, movement, writing, song writing, physical activities like building, gardening, and rock climbing. Few organization in the Morongo Basin offer support to veterans re-entry into community through creative endeavors where the goal is to end veteran isolation.
2023 2024
Critical factors include financial sponsorship from local businesses and earned income from our annual spoken word fundraiser, "Live From Joshua Tree", private donors, corporate donations such as Starbucks, Vons, and Walmart. Human resources rely on Mil-Tree's working board, paid staff, and volunteers.We have an established working relationship with the Single Marines at the 29 Palms Marine base, along with local veterans and community members that consistently support Mil-Tree monetarily as well as in-kind such as donating labor and expertise.

This project gives low income veterans the opportunity to address the sense of isolation and displacement as they return from active duty by offering them FREE creative engagement through writing, visual art projects, music and physical activities like gardening, building, and hiking where interaction and dialogue are encouraged.

There's an increase in the number of service members returning home who suffer both physical and psychological traumas, including PTSD. Research done by Arts in America state that, “the arts play a significant role in helping veterans in the successful reintegration into family and community life." Mil-Tree provides veterans with therapeutic outlets and creative expression through its FREE programming.

7 2023
The advent of Covid-19 taught us that the need for programs that can adapt and modify service delivery to meet changing needs or requirements is critical. With limited programs in our rural region, Reach Out MB fills in the gaps in services not provided by county or other agencies and organizations. Our Senior Support Services provide access to multiple programs that can address various needs from transportation, homemaker and chore help to fall prevention programs and family caregiver support. No other organization in our region offers these services.

After almost two years of shut down due to Covid-19 many seniors suffered due to isolation and lack of contact with their peers. Many locked themselves in their homes -not even venturing out for medical appointments, shopping or other needs. The programs we provide allow them to integrate back into society and begin activities with their peers in a safe and supportive environment.

With long term staff, continuous recruitment and training of volunteers, multiple organizational vehicles and multiple funding streams for proposed projects the critical factors for continuedsuccess have been addressed. Staff and volunteers are cross trained to cover multiple duties to ensure no lapse in services and administration continually works to ensure funds are raisedto cover any decrease in a particular funding stream.

Targeted towards low income, senior and disabled residents this project provides needed transportation services to fill in gaps in local public transportation. In addition, the project aidsinformal/unpaid family caregivers as well as encourages physical and mental health through socialization and activities at the senior center. 2024

The courts currently have cracks, faded boundary lines, potholes in the concrete and an uneven playing surface. Exposure from water, rain and sun has created pockets in the concrete which have created potholes in some areas of the court surfaces.

The outdoor courts are in dire need of repair due to exposure to the elements, wear and tear and overuse. The courts have not been resurfaced since 2007 and are becoming a safety concern.

The courts will need to be closed to the public until funding can be secured to repair them.

This will have a negative impact on the recreational programming and the citizens that utilize the courts.

No 2024
The court surface is a potential safety hazard and needs immediate attention to prevent possible injury to park patrons who utilize the facility. The recreational programs are growing and more residents are using the courts for recreational purposes.

STAFF REPORT
TO: City Council
FROM: City Engineer
FOR MEETING: Feb 15 2023
SUBJECT: El Rey Bridge/Street Construction Project Agreement.

RECOMMENDATION:

The City Council approve the San Bernardino Flood Control District's Cost-sharing Agreement for the Reconstruction of the El Rey Avenue Bridge and Roadway not to exceed $329,063.

Discussion of Motion
Call the Question
ATTACHMENTS:
• Agreement-FCD-29 Palms at
El Rey
BACKGROUND:

El Rey Avenue washed out at the San Bernardino Flood Control District's channel a couple of years ago and was repaired to an interim condition. Since that time, the District designed a new box culvert-type bridge, to accommodate 100-year stormwater flows. The project includes removing the existing corrugated metal pipes and roadway and reconstructing a new all-weather bridge crossing which includes constructing a new city-owned roadway, to the pre-washout condition.

The Agreement states the following: "City agrees to reimburse District for one hundred percent (100%) of the costs (City Facility Costs) associated with the reconstruction of the existing four street drainage inlets, and reconstruction of the El Rey Avenue roadway, sidewalk, installation of handrails, and curb and gutter."
This District/City shared project should be ready to advertise for construction within the next couple of months. The total construction costs including administration and inspection are approximately $2,901,000. The City's share of this amount is estimated at $329,063.

ENVIRONMENTAL:

The District has received environmental clearance to proceed with the project's construction phase.

Page 123 of 310 ends

ALTERNATIVES:

The City Council could choose not to support or participate in the project.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The project qualifies for Measure I funds. The cost estimate of $329,063 for the City's share is a conservative, "not to exceed amount." The District indicated that the City share will be based on the cost of the roadway items only. If the final costs of the street portion of the project are less than the engineer's estimate, the Flood Control District will only request reimbursement for the actual final total costs which may be less than the "not to exceed amount."

• EV Parking FINAL Ordinance
BACKGROUND:

The City Council conducted a Public Hearing on January 10, 2023 to consider changes to Chapter 19.82 in regard to regulations for Electric Vehicle Charging Stations.

State law pertaining to electronic vehicles and charging stations have evolved in the last several years, requiring a certain amount of parking spaces within new parking lots to be electronic vehicle accessible and to have capability to have electric vehicle (EV) charging stations installed for those spaces.

Currently, the Development Code of the City of Twentynine Palms is silent with regards to the number of electronic vehicle spaces for new developments. It should be noted that the new California Green Building Standards Code was approved by the City Council on November 8, 2022, which reflects the required number of EV parking spaces in Sections 4.106.4.2.2.3 and Table 5.106.5.3.1. It is the Community Development Director’s opinion that these regulations should also be reflected in the parking section of the Development Code as well, for ease of reference by City Staff as well as potential development applicants.

It is anticipated that this portion of the Development Code may need to be updated in the future as California State Law changes with regards to electronic vehicle requirements.

Staff recommends the City’s Development Code Section 19.82 be amended to add Table 19.82.55-2 under Section

19.82.50 to read as follows:

Electronic Vehicle Spaces
Type of Development
Multiple Family Dwellings
All non-residential projects
Total number of Spaces
Required Number of Required EV Capable Spaces
0-9 0
10-25 4
26-50 8
51-75 13
76-100 17
101-150 25
151-200 35
201 and over 20% of total, rounded up
Additionally, the following footnotes should be added to the bottom of the parking table:

Signage for Charging Station Locations
a. Signage shall be installed designating spaces for electric vehicles only. b. Charging stations shall be installed in locations easily accessible to service an electrical vehicle. c. Charging stations and associated equipment or materials shall not encroach into the minimum required areas for driveways, parking spaces, garages or vehicle maneuvering.

ENVIRONMENTAL:

Pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the State Guidelines to Implement the California Environmental Quality Act, the activity is covered by the common-sense exemption that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA.

ALTERNATIVES:

1. Request revisions from staff and postpone to a date certain.

2. Not adopt the revised Ordinance.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None.
