Initially under close supervision, incumbents learn and perform routine technical duties in support of the City’s sewer and storm drain collection systems, utility facilities, and equipment. As experience is gained, assignments become more varied, complex, and difficult; close supervision and frequent review of work lessen as an incumbent demonstrates skill to perform the work independently. Positions at this level usually perform most of the duties required of the positions at the Utility Worker II – Sewer level but are not expected to function at the same skill level and usually exercise less independent discretion and judgment in matters related to work procedures and methods. Work is usually supervised while in progress and fits an established structure or pattern. Exceptions or changes in procedures are explained in detail as they arise.

Water Treatment Operator I: This is the entry-level classification in the Water Treatment Operator series.

Initially under close supervision, incumbents learn and perform a variety of duties in support of the City’s water treatment plant operations. As experience is gained, assignments become more varied, complex, and difficult; close supervision and frequent review of work lessen as an incumbent demonstrates skill to perform the work independently. Positions at this level usually perform most of the duties required of the positions at the Water Treatment Operator II level but are not expected to function at the same skill level and usually exercise less independent discretion and judgment in matters related to work procedures and methods.

Work is usually supervised while in progress and fits an established structure or pattern. Exceptions or changes in procedures are explained in detail as they arise.

Water Treatment Operator II: This is the fully qualified journey-level classification in the Water Treatment Operator series.

Positions at this level receive only occasional instruction or assistance as new or unusual situations arise and are fully aware of the operating procedures and policies of the work unit.

Positions in the Water Treatment Operator class series are flexibly staffed; positions at the Water Treatment Operator II level are normally filled by advancement from the Water Treatment Operator I level; progression to the Water Treatment Operator II level is dependent on (i) management affirmation that the position is performing the full range of duties assigned to the classification; (ii) satisfactory work performance; (iii) the incumbent meeting the minimum qualifications for the classification including any licenses and certifications; and (iv) management approval for progression to the Water Treatment Operator II level.

REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT

THIS REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is made and entered into and effective as of the date of the last signature on this Agreement and is by and between Sprint Communications Company L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, and its successors and assigns (“SCCLP”), whose mailing address is 6220 Sprint Parkway, KSOPHD0101-Z2040, Overland Park, KS 66251, and The City of Upland, a California municipal corporation (“City”) whose mailing address is 460 N. Euclid Avenue, Upland, CA 91786. SCCLP and City may be referred to individually as “Party” or collectively as the “Parties.” Sprint Communications LLC is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of T-Mobile USA, Inc. pursuant to the T-Mobile USA, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries) acquisition of Sprint Communications LLC (together with SCCLP and its other subsidiaries).

BACKGROUND:

A. City plans to undertake pavement rehabilitation, sewer, water, and street lighting improvements on Alpine Street, Vernon Drive, and Palm Avenue in Upland, California within Southern Pacific Transportation Company right of way (“Project”). SCCLP owns fiber optic cable and other equipment (“Facilities”) within the aforementioned right of way pursuant to a Memorandum of Easement dated March 26, 1996 with Southern Pacific Transportation Company and/or its successors and assigns.

B. As a result of the Project construction, it is necessary for SCCLP to relocate its Facilities in accordance with, and as more particularly described in, the attached Exhibit “A” (“Engineering Drawing”) and Exhibit “B” (“Scope of Work”), both of which are incorporated into this Agreement.

C. SCCLP, under the terms stated in this Agreement, is willing to relocate its Facilities within the right of way and to accommodate City’s work, if City reimburses SCCLP for all of its actual costs, both direct and indirect, in making the modifications.

AGREEMENT

In consideration of the promises and mutual covenants contained in this Agreement, and other good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which is acknowledged , SCCLP and City agree as follows:

1. SCCLP will perform the necessary relocation work in accordance with the attached Exhibits “A” and “B” (“Work”) subject to the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

2. City represents and warrants to SCCLP that Exhibits “A” and “B” accurately represent the Scope of Work requested of SCCLP.

3. City may, at its own expense, inspect any construction by SCCLP under this Agreement, to assure itself that the SCCLP Work is being performed in accordance with the Scope of Work.

4. City will bear and be responsible for and pay in accordance herewith all direct and indirect costs incurred by SCCLP and relating to the relocation Work, including, but not limited to, labor, materials, construction, damages, administrative overhead, engineering review work, taxes, and legal fees.

5. The total cost of the Work is estimated to be Ninety Eight Thousand Four Hundred Sixty Three Dollars and Ninety Nine Cents ($98,463.99), as set forth in Exhibit “C.” Final actual costs may be more or less than the estimate, which will not be construed as a limitation of costs for the Work.

Page 3 of 17 ends

2 SCCLP will promptly provide notice to City if it becomes obvious to SCCLP that the final actual costs will exceed the estimate by more than fifteen percent (15%).

6. City must furnish a cashier’s check or wire transfer in the amount of Ninety Eight Thousand Four Hundred Sixty Three Dollars and Ninety Nine Cents ($98,463.99) to guarantee the payment of all sums which may at any time become due from City to SCCLP under this Agreement. If City chooses to send a cashier’s check, the check must be payable to Sprint Communications Company L.P. and sent to SCCLP before commencement of the relocation Work. Any and all costs in excess of the amount of the prepayment will be billed to City when the Work has been completed, and City will be liable for any amount, which exceeds the amount of the prepayment.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION, LOCATION AND SCOPE OF WORK

TITLE: UPLAND – N. PALM AVE PROJECT

Sprint Work Order No.: 92766W187

1.0 DESCRIPTION AND LOCATION
The work consists of excavating and exposing 120 feet of the Sprint system at North Palm Ave in Upland CA. Once the encasement is exposed the contractor will need to remove the concrete from around the (2) 5” PVC Pipes. The contractor will then need to lower the system 36” from its current elevation at the road crossing and place an 80’ section of 15” Galvanized Split Steel around the Sprint (2) 5” PVC Pipes as shown on the proposed construction plans.

The remaining exposed (2) 5” PVC on both ends of the excavation will then need to be formed and encased with an Edison Mix Concrete. Refer to the proposed construction plans for details of the Sprint Encasement.

The contractor will then prove the Sprint system from MH # 104 to MH # 105 to make sure our construction did not affect the system continuity. Both MH’s will then be welded shut for security.

Once the City finished their street work the Sprint system will then need to be proved once again to make sure the system still has good continuity from MH # 104 to MH # 105. Both MH’s will then be welded shut for security.

RESOLUTION NO.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF

UPLAND APPROVING AN IN-LIEU FEE IN SATISFACTION OF
CONDITION 30.21 OF TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP NO. 20448
(TPM-21-02), AND DEVELOPMENT PLAN REVIEW-NO. DPR-
21-0008 FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF FIVE (5) NEW LIGHT
INDUSTRIAL BUILDINGS LOCATED AT 2068 W. 11TH
STREET (APN: 1007-301- 01)

WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Upland passed Resolution No. 4961 on January 23, 2022, approving Tentative Parcel Map 20448 (TPM 21-02) to develop five light industrial buildings on a 4.87-acre parcel of real property located at 2068 W. 11th Street, east of Dewey Way (“Development”); and

WHEREAS, Condition 30.21 of Resolution No. 4961 requires the undergrounding of electrical distribution telephone and TV cable lines, on the project site and frontage shall be underground in accordance with the Upland Municipal Code; and

WHEREAS, Yellow Iron Real Estate, LLC (“Developer”) will install the underground conduit infrastructure necessary to implement the underground requirements within the project site.; and

WHEREAS, the Developer provided estimates for Southern California Edison (SCE), Frontier and Charter/Spectrum using other forces to underground the existing overhead facilities in the public frontage of 11th Street, north of the project site, in an amount of $74,880; and

WHEREAS, the Developer is requesting the City Council accept the alternative of an in-lieu fee, which is the cost of undergrounding effort to cover the approximately 177 linear feet of the south side of 11th street facilities. This cost for undergrounding will satisfy the undergrounding development condition; and

WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the Developer’s proposed in-lieu fee of seventy-four thousand eight hundred eighty dollars ($74,880.00) is reasonable, considering the cost of the items and that the funds will be used to support undergrounding efforts that will provide a benefit to the community.

NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council hereby finds, determines and resolves as follows:

Section 1. All of the above recitals are true and correct and are incorporated herein by reference.

Section 2. The Conditions 30.21 of Tentative Parcel Map No. 20448 (TPM 21- 02) regarding the underground on public utilities on 11th Street frontage may be satisfied in the alternative with the payment of an in-lieu fee of seventy-four thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight dollars ($74,880.00) to be used to support undergrounding projects in the City.

Alan French, Principal Engineer
City of Upland Public Works Department
460 N. Euclid Avenue
Upland CA, 91786

RE: Request of in‐lieu fee for undergrounding utilities for 2068 W 11th Street Business Park in Upland CA.

To Mr. French,
Resolution No. 4961, for the infill project consisting of five (5) new light industrial buildings on

4.87 acres was approved by Planning Commission on February 23, 2022. The approval included Tentative Parcel Map No. 20448 (TPM‐21‐0002), Development Plan Review No. DPR‐21‐0008 and Environmental Assessment Review No. EAR‐21‐0008.

Condition 30.20 of the resolution indicates: “The existing overhead utilities (to include all communications cables and SCE distribution lines) on the project site frontage shall be undergrounded in accordance with Upland Municipal Code Title 12. The developer may opt to pay “in lieu fee” for undergrounding and must apply separately for City Council’s consideration.” Condition 30.21 continues: “The requirements for undergrounding overhead utility lines shall be implemented prior to occupancy.”

We would like to apply to City Council for their approval for our payment of an in‐lieu fee and request an invoice from the city in the amount of $74,880 to pay the fee and fulfill Conditions

30.20, 30.21 and 30.22. The $74,880 is calculated as follows by our Utility Consultant, Gregg Electric, based on the construction costs for the ~177 lineal feet of undergrounding required:

Please contact me if you have any questions.

Subject:SB 1383 Local Assistance Grant Program (OWR1) – City of Upland – Award Notification Importance:High
Congratulations! The Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) approved awards for the first round of the SB 1383 Local Assistance Grant Program. The Grant Award package consists of the following:

Your specific award amount is $111,677.00.

Please note that your budget and activities have not yet been approved. I will be reaching out to you in the next few weeks to revise your budget and discuss eligible and ineligible costs. I strongly suggest that you wait to incur costs until after our conversation. If costs are incurred prior and it is determined that an item is ineligible, it will not be approved.

The grant award is subject to the condition as stated in the Request for Approval of Awards for SB1383 Local Assistance Grant Program. If the recommended grantee does not pay or bring current all outstanding debts or scheduled payments owed to CalRecycle within 60 calendar days of the date of this letter, then the proposed grantee will not have met the required conditions, and the award will be void.

EXEMPT FROM CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY
ACT (CEQA) GUIDELINES.

WHEREAS, the City of Upland, California (“City”) is a municipal corporation, duly organized under the constitution and laws of the State of California; and

WHEREAS, in 2022, the California Legislature approved, and the Governor signed into law, a new bill (SB 897) that further amends Government Code sections 65852.2 and 65852.22; and

WHEREAS, SB 897 took effect January 1, 2023, and if the City’s ADU ordinance does not comply with the requirements imposed by SB 897 by this date, the City’s entire existing ADU ordinance becomes null and void as a matter of law; and

WHEREAS, the City desires to amend its local regulatory scheme for the construction of ADUs and JADUs to comply with the amended provisions of Government Code sections 65852.2 and 65852.22; and

WHEREAS, there is a current and immediate threat to the public health, safety, or welfare based on the passage of SB 897 because the City’s ordinance does not comply with the amended laws as of January 1, 2023, and the City’s ADU ordinance has become null and void, the City is thereafter be limited to applying the few default standards that are provided in Government Code sections 65852.2 and 65852.22 for the approval of ADUs and JADUs; and

WHEREAS, the approval of ADUs and JADUs based solely on the default statutory standards, without local regulations governing height, setback, landscape, and architectural review, among other things, would threaten the character of existing neighborhoods, and negatively impact property values, personal privacy, and fire safety. These threats to public safety, health, and welfare justify adoption of this ordinance as an urgency ordinance to be effective immediately upon adoption by a four-fifths vote of the City Council; and
