Date:February 15, 2023
To:Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From:Charles E. McNeely, Interim City Manager;
Nathan Freeman, Agency Director of Community, Housing,
and Economic Development
Department:Community, Housing, & Economic Development (CED)
Subject:Amendment No. 1 to the Professional Services
Agreement with Environmental Klean-up Services, Inc.
for the Abatement of Nuisance Properties located at
247-267 East Ennis Street and 147 South E Street
(Wards 1 and 3)
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino,
California, approve Amendment No. 1 to the Professional Services Agreement with
Environmental Klean-up Services, Inc. for the abatement of nuisance properties
located at 247-267 East Ennis Street and 147 South E Street.
Background
On November 2, 2022, the Mayor and City Council approved and awarded a
Professional Services Agreement (PSA) to Environmental Klean-up Services, Inc. for
the abatement of nuisance properties located at 247-267 East Ennis Street and 147
South E Street.
Discussion
Due to undeterred public access and seasonal weather to structurally damaged
buildings and lots, the properties located at 247-267 East Ennis Street and 147 South
E Street, have adversely impacted the adjacent properties and it is the City’s
responsibility to clean up any off-site debris originating from the primary location that
was not included in the original scope of work of the original agreement.
For the property located at 247-267 East Ennis St., structural debris, along with illegal
dumping has spread across multiple parcels originating from this location. The high
visibility of this location has invited vagrancy and vandalism.

In the case of 147 South E Street, though the demolition, abatement and cleanup
services have been completed, hazardous materials such as asbestos, lead, and lead-
based materials were detected in multiple locations on-site. Additionally, these
hazardous materials were also located outside the property and need to be
remediated.
Amendment No. 1 to the PSA will allow Environmental Klean-up to close out and
complete both tasks per the original agreement and complete the projects. It is the
City’s objective to pursue reimbursement from the property owner(s) for all costs of
testing and remediation of hazardous materials, abatement, demolition, cleanup, and
responsible disposal, through the necessary steps.
2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
The commercial building demolition, abatement, cleaning, and securing services align
with Key Target No. 3: Improved Quality of Life with emphasis on Goal 3d: Improve
the City’s appearance, cleanliness, and attractiveness. Demolition, abatement, and
cleanup services are utilized through city programs to clean abandoned properties,
reduce crime, and ensure that neighborhoods and business areas are safe and
attractive.
Fiscal Impact
Funding for these agreements was included in the FY 2022/23 Adopted Budget and
no additional appropriation is required at this time. Costs associated with boarded up
and/or abated property is billed to the property owner. If the timely payment is not
received, a lien is recorded against the respective property. Over time, it is expected
that the City will fully recover the property abatement costs. The overall demolition and
abatement cleanup costs of each location are as follows:
Original agreement amount for 147 S. E Street &
247 – 267 E. Ennis St: $142,570
Amendment No. 1 Not to exceed amount: $ 25,025
Total $167,595
Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino,
California, approve Amendment No. 1 of the Professional Services Agreement with
Environmental Klean-up Services, Inc. for the abatement of nuisance properties
located at 247-267 East Ennis Street and 147 South E Street.

CONSENT CALENDAR
City of San Bernardino
Request for Council Action
Date:February 15, 2023
To:Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From:Charles E. McNeely, Interim City Manager;
Cory Hodges, Senior Management Analyst
Department:City Manager's Office
Subject:Legislative Affairs Update (All Wards)
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino,
California:
1. Receive and file a report on the City of San Bernardino Legislative and
Regulatory Platform; and
2. Receive and file an update on the projects to be included in the City of San
Bernardino FY 2023/2024 state and federal budget requests; and
3. Receive and file a report on the City’s state and federal legislative advocacy
efforts in 2022; and
4. Ratify the FY 2023/2024 Assembly District Budget Request; and
5. Receive and file a draft itinerary for the 2023 National League of Cities
Congressional City Conference.
Background
On April 18, 2018, the Mayor and City Council adopted Resolution No. 2018-117
establishing the Legislative Program Policy and Procedures. The platform and
procedures are used to guide city officials and staff in responding to legislative
proposals at the state and federal levels throughout the year. Maintaining a legislative
platform allows for timely responses to legislative issues important to the City, including
position letters on behalf of the City to the Legislature and/or Congress that are
consistent with the established platform. Additionally, the platform summarizes the
Mayor and City Council’s positions on priority issues and provides the foundation for
Packet Pg. 52
1
0
7
8
developing an annually legislative advocacy strategy. The Legislative and Regulatory
Platform was amended twice (2) in 2021 (Higher Education and Sales Tax) and was
left unchanged during calendar year 2022.
Discussion
The Legislative and Regulatory Platform is meant to reflect the City’s position with
respect to federal and state legislative issues based upon the Mayor and City Council’s
2021-2025 Key Strategic Targets and Goals that were adopted on November 17, 2021:
1.Improved Operational and Financial Capacity;
2. Focused, Aligned Leadership and Unified Community;
3. Improved Quality of Life; and
4. Economic Growth and Development.
Preliminary Revisions to the Legislative and Regulatory Platform:
Although the Mayor and City Council have not recently conducted a formal legislative
affairs workshop or adopted an amendment to the legislative platform since late 2021,
it is important that staff identify and communicate potential amendments that align with
the 2021-2025 strategic goals and objectives. After a legislative affairs workshop takes
place staff will incorporate feedback from the Mayor and City Council into the
legislative and regulatory platform prior to formal adoption. In the interim, staff intends
to utilize the attached document to advocate for the City and continue to secure
funding for City projects and programs. The following preliminary staff driven revisions
build upon the existing Legislative and Regulatory Platform, and incorporate the
following language to the appropriate sections:
Affordable Housing
The City will support policies and funding for infill housing projects. The City will also
support the expansion of funding for fair and equitable affordable housing, as well as
regulations that promote fair and equitable housing for the most vulnerable, low-
income households, including the elimination of barriers in the planning processes and
regulatory frameworks that negatively impact the availability and development of
affordable housing projects.
The City will support Homeownership Initiatives that provide financial assistance and
programs to help homebuyers overcome barriers to homeownership, including grants
and loans to help with down payments, credit repair programs, and funds to develop
additional workforce housing that can be sold to low- to moderate-income residents.
Transit Oriented Development (TOD):
The City of San Bernardino will support legislation, policies, and funding that links the
development of housing with improved public transit systems, local infrastructure, and
associated public services. The City will also support legislation, policies, and funding
for street improvements designed to enhance foot, bicycle, and public transportation
utilization in urban environments. Legislation, policies, and funding must avoid a one-
size- fits-all approach and recognize the differences in regional and local community
Packet Pg. 53

characteristics and demographics.
Economic Development
The City will support measures that restore or enhance tax increment financing to
provide resources for local jurisdictions. The City will also support changes to
legislation related to Community Revitalization & Investment Authority (CRIA) and
Enhanced Infrastructure Financing Districts (EIFDs), which make it easier and more
effective to establish and administer these tools
The City will support grant funding opportunities, legislations, and regulatory policies
that support projects outlined in the City of San Bernardino Investment Playbook.
Additionally, the City will support efforts by the San Bernardino Airport Authority to
pursue legislation, state budget funding, or regulatory changes enhance the quality of
life and economic development opportunities for residents of the City San Bernardino.
Highways
The City will support legislation and policies that increase funding for highway
expansion projects with regional or subregional benefits needed to adequately support
the growing Inland Southern California Region.
Public Facilities
The City will oppose any efforts to eliminate or cap the tax-exempt status of
municipal bonds (including Private Activity Bonds), or any other action that reduces
the utility of using important financing mechanisms to fund public improvement
projects.
Broadband
The City is supportive of any efforts to expand high speed, high-capacity broadband
funding. The City supports federal and state legislation preserving the City’s interest
in telecommunication, broadband, and infrastructure operations and opposes efforts
to restrict cities’ authority to zone and plan for the deployment of telecommunications
infrastructure.
Green Infrastructure
The City will support policies and funding to prepare for the impacts of climate change,
including sustainable planning and development policies, programs, and funding that
reduce greenhouse gas emissions, vehicle miles traveled, and pollution. The City also
supports funding and legislation that facilitates an equitable transition to zero-carbon
forms of energy use, transportation, and green infrastructure.
Public Safety and Emergency Response
The City will seek funding for emergency management and disaster planning training
as well as funding to establish and operate a fully capable Emergency Operations
Center
Packet Pg. 54

8
Higher Education Resources
The City will support state and federal funding and initiatives that expand access to
higher education through the development of satellite campuses in urban areas, such
as in downtown corridors or other locations with multimodal transit access.
Additionally, the City will support efforts by local institutions of higher education in
pursuing legislation, state budget funding, or regulatory changes that improve the
quality of life for students in San Bernardino, or expand access to services, programs,
housing, or workforce development opportunities.
FY 2022/2023 State Budget Requests Recap:
In 2022, the City circulated amongst its California senatorial and assembly
representative's, a staff driven funding requests on four (4) separate projects for
potential inclusion in the FY 2022/2023 State of California Budget:
1. Delmann Heights Park Facility Improvements Project
2. Seccombe Lake Park Renovation
3. City of San Bernardino Animal Shelter Expansion
4. City Hall Renovation Project
Although the City’s funding requests were not ultimately included in the adopted state
budget package, the submissions and advocacy efforts provided our state and federal
delegations an opportunity to better understand the needs of the City and its residents.
Moving forward, Mayor and City Council priorities that are developed during the annual
legislative affairs workshop will be incorporated into annual state budget request
documents.
FY 2022/2023 Federal Budget Requests Recap:
In April of 2022, the City submitted a staff driven funding request to the FY2022/2023
Community Project Funding (CPF) program through the office of Representative Pete
Aguilar. The federal grant program is designed to allow jurisdictions an opportunity to
submit community project funding requests directly to their congressional
representatives. The City of San Bernardino’s geographic boundaries fall within
California‘s 23rd and 33rd Congressional Districts, represented by Jay Obernolte and
Pete Aguilar, respectively.
The City’s request was focused on a project entitled the “Restoration of San
Bernardino’s Historic Roosevelt Bowl” in the amount of $1.4 million dollars. Ultimately
the City’s submission was successful, and funds are programmed to renovate and
reopen the outdoor public performance venue, and fill a great need for area
performance artists, musicians, and students, as well as non-profit, cultural and civic
groups. Elements of the project include the installation of fencing, renovation to the
building including the roof, external concession stand/bathroom renovations, American
with Disabilities Act compliance upgrades, concrete and electrical work, restoration of
walkway access trail, upgrades to lighting and sound systems, renovation of the
dressing rooms, and restoration of landscaping and irrigation. When operational, the
Packet Pg. 55

8
Roosevelt Bowl will serve as an economic catalyst for growth and economic activity in
the area.
Staff are awaiting guidance on whether the federal grant program will continue in
FY2023/2024. If the program is funded, staff will evaluate the guidelines and
collaborate with the Mayor and City Council during the annual legislative affairs
workshop to develop a request that aligns with Mayor and City Council priorities.
FY 2023/2024 State & Federal Budget Requests:
In fiscal year 2023/2024 the City does not anticipate the state will have the levels of
discretionary funding it’s had previous years, resulting in limited funding for district
specific requests. At the federal level, the community project funding program that
facilitated the restoration of the Roosevelt Bowl is at risk of being defunded.
Considering these assumptions, staff intends to advance targeted state and federal
budget requests focused on securing additional funds for the implementation of the
City’s Homelessness Strategic Initiative, a top priority of administrations at the state
and federal level. Additional projects that may be included in the proposal in order to
engage representatives at the state and federal level are the San Bernardino Animal
Shelter due to the services the shelter provides to cities across the region, the City Hall
renovation project, and the Historic California Theatre renovation project. Moving
forward, Mayor and City Council priorities that are developed during the annual
legislative affairs workshop will be incorporated into annual state and federal budget
request proposals.
Legislative Advocacy Services Update:
In 2022, the City engaged in several efforts to advance it’s legislative and regulatory
platform and strategic goals. The City’s legislative advocacy consultant, staff, and
elected officials, participated in meetings, engaged state and federal agencies, and
submitted position letters to ensure our perspective was considered on important
legislative and regulatory matters.
State Legislative Advocacy:
From 2020 to 2022, the City’s legislative advocacy consultant has been Hurst,
Brooks, and Espinosa (HBE). The agreement with the HBE was set expire in
November of 2022, which necessitated the need for the City to go back out to bid
for these important services. On August 22, 2022, staff initiated a Request for
Proposals (RFP) for state legislative advocacy services. The bid was published on
the City’s procurement website, Planetbids, and closed in late September of 2022
with only two prospective bidders submitting proposals. In October, staff evaluated
the proposals based on several factors such as firm experience, capacity, cost,
etc., and determined that Hurst Brooks Espinosa (HBE) was the most appropriate
firm to provide the City services under this call. At the November 16, 2022, Mayor
and City Council meeting, staff recommended approval of a one-year agreement
with HBE for state legislative advocacy services with an option to extend
administratively for up to two additional years. The Mayor and City Council voted
to continue the item to a later date and requested HBE provide a 2022 legislative
Packet Pg. 56

advocacy annual report (Attachment 3). Unfortunately, in early December 2022,
HBE informed the Purchasing Department that they would be withdrawing from
consideration of being awarded the agreement. Given this set of circumstances
the City does not currently have a legislative advocacy firm under agreement. In
response, staff quickly worked with the Purchasing Department to re-release a
state legislative advocacy services RFP which is set to close mid-February. As
outlined in the 2022 legislative advocacy annual report, there are several important
services provided to the City by a legislative advocacy firm. Staff will continue
working on fulfilling this vital service.
Federal Legislative Advocacy:
The City of San Bernardino does not currently retain the services of a federal
legislative advocacy firm but has previously retained such services when funding
was available in the city budget. From 2008-2012, the City retained Innovative
Federal Strategies, a Washington, D.C based federal legislative advocacy firm.
Largely as a result of cost cutting measures during the City‘s bankruptcy years,
federal legislative advocacy services were not retained from 2013 - 2022. In 2019
however, staff brought forward a recommendation to retain Townsend Public
Affairs as the City’s federal legislative advocate, but that recommendation was not
ultimately adopted. In early February of 2023, the City once again released an RFP
specific to federal legislative advocacy services, and that bid is set to close in early
March 2023.
FY 2023/2024 Assembly District Budget Request Ratification:
On January 18, 2023, the Office of Assembly Majority Leader Eloise Gomez Reyes,
contacted the City and offered an opportunity to submit one (1) project funding request
pertaining to the FY 2023/2024 State Budget. Although there are no guarantees that a
submission will be honored during the upcoming fiscal year, it is important for
jurisdictions to submit a project that speaks to the concerns of community members
and the priorities of the elected body. Staff reviewed the 2021-2025 strategic goals,
and recent priorities set by the Mayor and City Council, and developed a district budget
request that builds upon the funding commitments the Mayor and City Council made
towards the City of San Bernardino H.O.P.E. (Homeless Outreach Prevention and
Education) Campus. Specifically, staff submitted a request in the amount of $4.5 million
dollars for annual H.O.P.E Campus Navigation Center operating costs. Due to the
timing of the request deadline (February 3, 2023), and the staff work involved in
identifying an appropriate project, conducting a cost analysis, and developing a
proposal, there was not enough time to place the conceptual framework of a district
budget request on the February 1, 2023, agenda. Staff recommend ratifying the
Assembly District budget request that was submitted on February 3, 2023, to the Office
of Assembly Majority Leader Eloise Gomez Reyes. Moving forward, staff anticipate
establishing a formal process during the annual legislative affair workshop to capture
Mayor and City Council priorities and incorporate them into annual assembly district
budget requests.
Majority Leader Reyes has been a strong advocate for the City of San Bernardino since
Packet Pg. 57

2016 when she first began representing the district. Due to the 2020 census, and the
efforts of the state’s independent redistricting commission in December of 2021,
assembly district boundaries have been redrawn statewide. Majority Leader Reyes will
now represent Assembly District 50, which does not encompass the City of San
Bernardino. Instead, the City will fall under Assembly District 45 represented by
Assemblymember James Ramos, who has been a strong advocate and partner in
improving the San Bernardino community.
2023 National League of Cities Conference:
On March 24 – March 28, 2023, members of the Mayor and Council along with a limited
amount of City staff will attend the National League of Cities (NLC) conference being
held in Washington, D.C. The 2023 NLC Congressional City Conference will serve as
a valuable experience for the delegation, where they can interact with federal
policymakers and learn more about federal funding opportunities. Additionally, staff are
organizing meetings with Congressional Representatives and Senators that represent
San Bernardino, agencies that oversee programs important to City priorities, and
partners on important projects such as the Investment Playbook. Finally, staff have
reached out to schedule a meeting with representatives of the White House Initiative
on Advancing Educational Equity, Excellence and Economic Opportunity for Hispanics,
who the City partnered with at the November 16, 2022, San Bernardino White House
Economic Summit held at CSUSB and keynoted by Secretary of Education Miguel
Cardona.
At the previous NLC conference, President Biden gave a keynote speech discussing
the important role local governments play in implementing the American Rescue Plan
Act, and Secretary Buttigieg held a discussion about the local funding possibilities
included in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL). The City of San Bernardino was
awarded $77 million in ARPA funds and is actively researching and applying for grants
that are funded through the BIL, demonstrating the importance these federal funding
opportunities play in enhancing City services and operations. By attending the 2023
NLC conference and interacting directly with federal policymakers, City officials will
gain valuable insight into the latest funding opportunities and learn about emerging
practices that strengthen local economic growth.
2023 City of San Bernardino Legislative Affairs Workshop:
At the February 1, 2023, Mayor and City Council meeting, Interim City Manager
Charles McNeely indicated to the Council that a more formal legislative affairs process
would benefit both city staff, and the Council’s policy making process. Specifically, the
Interim City Manager committed to holding a workshop to accomplish the following
goals:
1. Establish an annual legislative process through which staff and the Mayor and City
Council can collaborate on legislative actions for the upcoming legislative cycle.
2. Establish a process for the Mayor and City Council to offer amendments to the
legislative platform.
3. Establish a process for the Mayor and City Council to propose projects for

LEGISLATIVE AGENDA (DRAFT)
IMPROVED OPERATIONAL & FINANCIAL CAPACITY
The City is committed to developing a sustainable financial strategy that creates stability and
allows the City to reinvest in operations and infrastructure. In these efforts, the City will support
legislation that secures local government funding sources such as pro perty taxes, sales tax,
transient occupancy taxes, and grants. The City will oppose legislation that creates unfunded
mandates and legislation that eliminates or diverts local revenues.
FOCUSED, ALIGNED LEADERSHIP AND UNIFIED COMMUNITY
The City supports programs that promote community engagement and strengthen the City’s
neighborhoods. The City will support measures that provide for workforce development,
education and vocational training programs that meet the needs of the business community,
improve job opportunities for residents, and enhance regional education and job training
programs.
IMPROVED QUALITY OF LIFE
The City is committed to developing programs that enhance emergency response, reduce crime,
and ensure neighborhoods and business areas are safe. As such, the City will support legislation
and seek funding that strengthens law enforcement’s efforts to prevent and reduce crime and
will help to contribute to emergency response and preparedness. The City supports regional
initiatives to reduce and prevent homelessness as well as regional efforts to obtain State and
Federal funding for mutually beneficial projects, facilities, and shared resources. The City will
oppose reductions in Federal and State funding for public safety programs as well as legislation
and regulations that limit or preempt local control.
ECONOMIC GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT
The City is dedicated to building a vibrant and sustainable local economy that allows for business
development and job creation. To achieve these goals and objectives, the City will support
legislative actions and funding that encourage economic development and provide the tools and
resources needed for business growth and investment. The City will oppose measures that
restrict the City’s ability to provide for local economic development or create disadvantages for
businesses at the local and state levels.
The City’s infrastructure has a direct impact on the quality of life in the City for both residents
and the business community. As such, the City is committed to maintaining, improving and
developing the City’s infrastructure including housing, parks, roads, bridges, sidewalks, bicycle
lanes, storm drains, streetlights, traffic signals, water and wastewater systems, as well as public
transportation systems. The City will support legislation that provides funding and support to
meet the infrastructure needs of the community, including transit-oriented housing. The City will
oppose legislation that removes or reduces funding that would impact infrastructure projects or
public transportation.

HOUSING AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
Affordable Housing: The City of San Bernardino has several attributes that make it an
attractive location for affordable housing development, including easy access to multimodal
public transportation and surplus land that can be used for development. The City is
committed to promoting infill development and increasing its affordable housing inventory.
On June 1, 2022, the City Council approved an Exclusive Negotiating Agreement (ENA) to
develop affordable housing on four acres of land in the downtown area, potentially allowing
up to 120 affordable housing units to be built. Furthermore, the City Council declared 42
City-owned properties as Surplus Land on November 16, 2022, where it will publish a notice
of availability for the purpose of developing low-income and moderate-income housing.
Increased homeownership can transform the lives of many City residents by promoting
stability and helping households build wealth over time . This is especially important as many
City residents face a higher-than-average housing burden.
Action: The City will support policies and funding for infill housing projects. The City will
also support the expansion of funding for fair and equitable affordable housing, as well as
regulations that promote fair and equitable housing for the most vulnerable, low-income
households, including the elimination of barriers in the planning processes and regulatory
frameworks that negatively impact the availability and development of affordable housing
projects.
Action: The City will support Homeownership Initiatives that provide financial assistance
and programs to help homebuyers overcome barriers to homeownership, including grants
and loans to help with down payments, credit repair programs, and funds to develop
additional workforce housing that can be sold to low-to-moderate-income residents.
Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA): The City of San Bernardino is home to a
number of highly regarded educational institutions including California State University, San
Bernardino with over 19,000 students and San Bernardino Valley College with over 17,000
students that must be included in the City’s affordable housing plan. At present, State law
does not allow the housing needed to support the City’s student population to be counted
towards the City’s affordable housing requirements. Given the unique needs of the City’s
student population, consideration should be given to the inclusion of “student housing”
whether it be dormitories, single room occupancy (SROs), or similar housing types in the
City’s RHNA allocation.
Because this circumstance applies to only a handful of jurisdictions, the Southern California
Association of Government (SCAG) recommends that housing needs generated by public or
private universities and colleges be addressed in the jurisdiction’s housing element if it is
applicable. However, it is not clear if HCD will accept this category of housing as it evaluates
a local jurisdiction’s draft Housing Element and if such housing will be acceptable and counts
towards the jurisdictions RHNA allocation.
Packet Pg. 65
City of San Bernardino
Page 5
Action: The City will advocate for policies and regulations that allow “student housing”
whether it be dormitories, single room occupancy (SROs), or similar housing types to be
a qualified component of RHNA compliance requirements and to allow the production of
student housing over the previous five (5) years to be applied towards this cycle’s
allocation.
Transit Oriented Development (TOD): The City of San Bernardino is home to the San
Bernardino Transit Center (SBTC), connecting the City to more than 10 cities in a two-county
area and providing access to transcontinental bus connections. This includes the bus rapid
transit (BRT) service referred to as sbX. The SBTC site includes two acres of land and up to
150,000 square feet of potential transit-oriented development in the form of mixed-use with
higher density urban housing as a component.
Action: The City of San Bernardino will support legislation, policies, and funding that links
the development of housing with improved public transit systems, local infrastructure, and
associated public services. The City will also support legislation, policies, and funding for
street improvements designed to enhance foot, bicycle, and public transportation
utilization in urban environments. Legislation, policies, and funding must avoid a one-size-
fits-all approach and recognize the differences in regional and local community
characteristics and demographics.
Economic Development: The dissolution of redevelopment agencies in 2012 statewide has
left local governments, including the City of San Bernardino, without the funding needed to
invest in economic development efforts. Moreover, local funding for the creation of affordable
housing was also eliminated through this action. City projects include former Redevelopment
Agency projects such as the Carousel Mall (formerly the Central City Mall) occupying 44
acres of the City’s downtown, which will require demolition of approximately four commercial
blocks. The Mall included three major anchors and 52 in-line stores with at grade and
structured parking.
Action: The City will support legislation and policies that support economic development
investment in projects such as the Carousel Mall project, including demolition,
environmental testing, clean-up, and infrastructure upgrades.
Action: The City will support measures that restore or enhance tax increment financing
to provide resources for local jurisdictions. The City will also support changes to legislation
related to Community Revitalization & Investment Authority (CRIA) and Enhanced
Infrastructure Financing Districts (EIFDs), which make it easier and more effective to
establish and administer these tools.
Action: The City will support grant funding opportunities, legislation, and regulatory
policies that support projects outlined in the City of San Bernardino Investment Play book:
Packet Pg. 66
City of San Bernardino

https://www.sbinvestmentplaybook.com
Action: The City will support efforts by the San Bernardino Airport Authority to pursue
legislation, state budget funding, or regulatory changes enhance the quality of life and
economic development opportunities for residents of the City San Bernardino.
Homelessness
Transitional and Permanent Supportive Housing: According to the last point-in-time
count conducted by the County of San Bernardino, the City of San Bernardino is home to
over 25% of the unsheltered homeless individuals in the County. Unsheltered in dividuals
navigate a myriad of health, socio-economic, and environmental challenges that have a
significant impact on their well-being and the communities in which they reside. Addressing
these complex issues requires a collaborative approach between government, non-profits,
and the private sector.
The City is committed to assisting in the development of an effective regional approach to
addressing homelessness, including partnering with local housing providers to invest in and
develop transitional and permanent supportive housing. Efforts include strengthening
existing programs and services; continued engagement and participation in the County’s
Interagency Council on Homelessness; and providing for supportive services to ensure these
members of our community can become permanently housed.
Action: The City supports regional initiatives to reduce and prevent homelessness, as
well as regional efforts to secure State and Federal funding for mutually beneficial
projects, facilities, and shared resources. The City will support legislation and initiatives
that provide funding for permanent supportive housing for homeless indiv iduals along with
the wrap-around services needed to assist these individuals to become permanently
housed. Additionally, the City will support programs that assist with monitoring and
evaluating the progress of individuals in these programs to ensure they are receiving the
treatment and assistance they need.
Transportation and City Infrastructure
Highways: The Interstate 215 (I-215) is a 54.5-mile-long north-south Interstate Highway in
California. The southern terminus of I-215 is at the junction of Interstate 15 (I-15) in the City
of Murrieta in southern Riverside County. It then runs north through Perris before joining State
Route 60 (SR 60) in Moreno Valley. The I-215 splits from SR 60 at the State Route 91 in
Riverside, where it then travels to San Bernardino before terminating at I -15 near the small
community of Devore. From 2011-2012, six miles of the I-215 were widened from two lanes
to three lanes in each direction from Murrieta Hot Springs Road in Murrieta to Scott Road in
Menifee. Today, the segment between the I-15/I-215 “Devore junction” and San Bernardino
is the only corridor of the I-215 that has two lanes in each direction. The absence of a third
Packet Pg. 67
City of San Bernardino
Page 7
lane in both directions creates significant congestion on this stretch of the I -215, which is an
issue since it is one of the major gateways in California for the logistics industry.
Action: The City will support legislation and policies that increase funding for highway
expansion projects with regional or subregional benefits needed to adequately support
the growingInland Empire metropolitan area of Southern California.
Streets and Roads: The City of San Bernardino has 621 miles of streets and roads, which
requires substantial resources to be devoted towards repairs and repaving. Independent
pavement management engineers rated more than 80% of the roads in San Bernardino as
either poor or very poor. The cost associated with rehabilitating all of the City’s streets up to
established standards are estimated at more than $210 million , not accounting for costs
related to expansion of roadways or improvements in pedestrian paths. The City receives an
average of $3.7 million annually in funding allocated through the State’s road maintenance
and rehabilitation program (SB 1), which is combined with an additional $1.6 million annually
in local transportation funds. While these funds are fully programmed on an annual basis for
street rehabilitation projects, they are not sufficient to address the City’s existing roadway
improvement needs.
Action: The City will support legislation and policies that increase funding for streets
and roadway projects needed to adequately support current and future growth,
particularly in disadvantaged communities.
Storm water Infrastructure: The City is responsible for the maintenance and operation of
storm water infrastructure in compliance with the requirements established under the 2010
Municipal Separate Storm Water Sewer System (MS4) permit. This order regulates waste
discharge requirements for the discharge of urban storm water from areas of San Be rnardino
County within the Santa Ana Region to U.S. waterways. The requirements established under
the current storm water system regulations have placed a significant financial burden on
cities without any offsetting revenue. In order to comply with current mandates, the City’s
storm water infrastructure must be retrofitted with trash capture devices in areas of high
density.
The repair, replacement, and expansion of storm drain infrastructure throughout the City are
needed to support current and future development. Storm water infrastructure improvements
are supported solely by development impact fees or general fund appropriations.
Action: The City will support policies and programs that provide funding for the planning,
construction, operation and maintenance of storm water and flood control projects.
Public Facilities: The City has a backlog of over $250 million dollars in facility maintenance
and repairs needed to bring our public facilities up to current standards. This includes the City
Hall campus buildings, parking structures, libraries, community centers, and the animal shelter.
Packet Pg. 68
City of San Bernardino
Page 8
The City Hall facility, located in a high seismic activity zone, is not designed to meet modern
seismic building standards. The building has several deficiencies that need to be addressed,
including seismic retrofitting and systems replacements, with estimated costs in excess of $40
million. While the City has been able to program Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
funding to address the most urgent facility improvement needs in many of the City’s CDBG
eligible libraries and community centers, funding for general government facilities is not readily
available.
Action: The City will support legislation and programs that provides funding for general
facility rehabilitation and improvements, in addition to supporting community libraries,
community centers, and animal shelter services.
Action: The City will oppose any efforts to eliminate or cap the tax-exempt status of
municipal bonds (including Private Activity Bonds), or any other action that reduces the
utility of using important financing mechanisms to fund public improvement projects.
Parks and Open Spaces: The City has 38 community parks, including 31 playgrounds and
eight community centers spread over more than 62 square miles. Many of the City’s older parks
and facilities are in need of renovation, including the addition of active park services, such as
soccer fields, to meet community demand.
Action: The City will support legislation and policies that provide funding for local
governments to support parks and recreation programs that enhance the quality of life for
City residents. The City will support programs that provide funding for the rehabilitation,
development and capital improvements of local parks and community facilities. The City
will support efforts to ensure that recreational utility, amenities, condition, and the
availability of improved outdoor space are considered as key factors in assessing the
need for funding. The City will also support policies and programs that provide the funding
needed to renovate public recreation facilities to conform to Federal Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA) regulations.
Broadband: Broadband access is viewed by cities nationwide as an important factor in lowering
business costs, improving productivity, attracting businesses, retaining highly skilled residents,
and creating sustainable jobs in economies fueled by entrepreneurship, i nnovation, and
creativity. Given the increasing importance of accessing the internet for everyday life, the City
wishes to enhance its information and technology services to better meet the needs of residents
and businesses.
Action: The City is supportive of any efforts to expand high speed, high-capacity
broadband funding. The City supports federal and state legislation preserving the City’s
interest in telecommunication, broadband, and infrastructure operations and opposes
efforts to restrict cities’ authority to zone and plan for the deployment of
telecommunications infrastructure.

Green Infrastructure: California is increasingly suffering from climate-related burdens due to
healthy and vulnerable populations lacking the resources to adequately prepare for, respond to,
or recover from climate impacts. Low-income communities with high minority populations, such
as the City of San Bernardino, lack the resources and investments needed to build community
climate resiliency. The City is highly susceptible to the threat of wildfires, where the northern
sections of the City are located in Tier 2 and Tier 3 of the California Public Utility Commission’s
High Fire Threat Districts, and the City also suffers from low air quality due to ozone pollution.
Based on the latest CalEnviroScreen data, the City’s average ozone pollution exposure is higher
than 99.8% of other California census tracts, contributing to higher levels of asthma and lung
disease.
Action: The City will support policies and funding to prepare for the impacts of climate
change, including sustainable planning and development policies, programs, and funding
that reduce greenhouse gas emissions, vehicle miles traveled, and pollution. The City
also supports funding and legislation that facilitates an equitable transition to zero-carbon
forms of energy use, transportation, and green infrastructure.
Quality of Life
Library Services: The City operates a central library and three branch libraries that provides
the community with free access to information and creative experiences. The City’s library
network offers access to 62 free internet public computers, free Wi-Fi, and various electronic
resources. Approximately 95 percent of local library funding comes from lo cal governments
and the remaining 5 percent comes from state and federal sources. State and federal funding
is needed to support services such as e-resources, material delivery, and internet connectivity.
Action: The City will support legislation and increases in funding for library services and
facilities. The City will oppose legislation and decreases in funding that reduce library
services.
Public Safety and Emergency Response: The City is committed to developing programs
that enhance emergency response, reduce crime, and ensure neighborhoods and business
areas are safe.
Action: The City will support legislation and seek funding that strengthens law
enforcement’s efforts to prevent and reduce crime and will help contribute to emergency
response and preparedness. The City will oppose reductions in Federal and State funding
for public safety programs, as well as legislation and regulations that limit or preempt local
control.
Action: Additionally, the City will seek funding for emergency management and disaster
planning training, as well as funding to establish and operate a fully capable Emergency
Operations Center.
Packet Pg. 70
City of San Bernardino
Page 10
Commercial Cannabis: The City supports the operation of permitted commercial
businesses. In order to ensure that legal cannabis businesses are able to operate and
remain competitive in the marketplace, the City seeks the State’s assistance in its
enforcement efforts against illegal/unlicensed cannabis operations. The City supports State
restrictions on the marketing of cannabis products to children and young adults.
Action: The City will support legislation and regulations that promote legal operators and
assist with enforcement efforts against illegal cannabis operations. The City will also
support legislation and regulations that ensure that cannabis or cannabis products are
not marketed in a manner that encourages underage consumption.
Access to Higher Education
Higher Education Resources: The City supports efforts to ensure access to quality higher
education to elevate the quality of life for residents throughout the Inland Empire generally
and in the City of San Bernardino specifically. Ensuring higher education access also assists
the City’s economic development efforts by encouraging private investment in the high-quality
jobs, housing, and services that our community desires and deserves. This effort requires an
equitable allocation of state resources into thehigher education institutions located within the
City and adjacent communities, as well as legislative and budget commitments that ensure
adequate student housing, access to transportation, and other basic needs.
With just two public four-year degree granting institutions, the 4.6 million residents of the
Inland Empire have limited options for attending public four-year degree granting institutions.
While the two universities, the University of California, Riverside (UCR) and California State
University, San Bernardino (CSUSB) provide outstanding educational resources, both are
impacted, compelling local residents to either commute outside the metropolitan area to
attend a public university (e.g., CSU Fullerton, Cal Poly Pomona) or choose a more expensive
private university option. Furthermore, nearby schools in the CSU system already grapple
with overcrowding themselves and therefore may not be feasible alternatives. All of these
issues represent obstacles to higher education for an already underserved population.
Employers throughout the Inland Empire consistently express concern about the pool of
qualified applicants for job openings, including those holding degrees from four-year
universities, making educational attainment an area of concern as the region's economy
matures and diversifies. The skills gap is particularly pronounced for employers needing
people with skills gained from education in science, technology, engineering, and
mathematics (commonly referred to as STEM) fields.
Evidence of the important role higher education plays in the economy is the retention rate of
college graduates (i.e., graduates who remain in the community as opposed to those who
leave the area). For example, a recent study found that Riverside County has one of the
Packet Pg. 71
City of San Bernardino
Page 11
highest retention rates in the United States, at approximately 71%, suggesting that there is a
great deal of opportunity available for college graduates.
Conversely, the percentage of the Inland Empire’s population that holds at least a bachelor’s
degree is considerably lower than the statewide average. One available conclusion from this
data is that the number of slots available for prospective college students is lower than that
which is necessary to provide for the needs of the region's economy.
First generation college students are common at the County's various colleges and
universities. For instance, CSUSB has a remarkable track record for enrolling first-generation
students, who comprise approximately 85% of the student body. Likewise, UCR has been
noted for the important role it plays in providing access to first generation enrollees. First -
generation students comprise about 65% of new and continuing UCR students, compared to
34% nationally.
Action: The City will support state and federal investment into public university
campuses that serve the Inland Empire region, including expanded student access to
specialized programs, housing, and resources to ensure students’ basic needs are met.
Action: The City will support state and federal funding and initiatives that expands
access to higher education through the development of satellite campuses in urban areas ,
such as in downtown corridors or other locations with multimodal transit access.
Action: The City will support efforts by local institutions of higher education in pursuing
legislation, state budget funding, or regulatory changes that improve the quality of life for
students in San Bernardino, or expand access to services, programs, housing, or
workforce development opportunities..
Sales and Use Tax
Local Tax Revenue: Sales and use tax plays a major role in California’s tax system as a whole,
for the state’s cities and counties, and for the City of San Bernardino, representing more than a
quarter of the City’s general fund budget. This critical revenue source helps to fund a variety of
city-provided services to our constituents, including public safety, streets and roads, libraries,
and parks. Further, the City is committed to developing a sustainable financial strategy that
creates stability and allows the City to reinvest in operations and infrastructure.
Action: In order to ensure budget stability and predictability, and that the City has the
necessary resources to mitigate environmental and infrastructure impacts of business
activity, the City will oppose legislative efforts to redirect sales and use tax revenues away
from communities that host certain types of businesses, including fulfillment and
distribution centers. Also, the City will oppose legislation that creates unfunded mandates
and legislation that eliminates or diverts local revenues. The City supports existing
Packet Pg. 72

constitutional protections ensuring that local sales and use tax revenues remain local, and
that bar the Legislature from reallocating such revenues.

The City of San Bernardino has the highest concentration of homeless individuals within
the County. According to the 2022 Point in Time Count, the rate of homelessness has
risen 175% since 2017. The City has a strategic initiative in place to address the urgent
issue of homelessness and is seeking funding to assist in construction and help sustain
operations. On December 7, 2022, City Council approved the campus, and cleared way
for the development of a 200-bed, low barrier, non-congregate navigation center that
will provide interim housing for men, women & families as well as onsite supportive
services which will include the following components:
The Navigation Center: The campus will focus on immediate shelter/interim housing
with onsite supportive services. Each housing unit will be constructed with high rated
materials that are fire resistant and durable. The living space will be designed to instill a
sense of safety, security, and dignity.
The City acquired a 2.48-acre property formally known as the “School of Hope”, which
will house the navigation center. The City recently accepted a bid for an architectural
evaluation to determine the structural soundness of existing buildings and to identify the
number of prefabricated modular units that can be incorporated to provide interim housing
for men, women, and families. Exact cost to complete the navigation center will not be
known until the architectural evaluation is complete, but the project is estimated at $23
million.

Transitional Housing: The second phase of the campus will focus on transitional
housing providing an extremely important pathway for people to exit the shelter into a
stable environment while they wait for permanent housing. The transitional housing
development will also be constructed with high-rated prefabricated modular units for
quicker construction and cost savings. People can typically reside in transitional housing
for two years.
The City is confident it can close the funding gap regarding Phase I, the Navigation
Center, however there is still $6.54 million dollars gap to complete Phase II, the
transitional housing project.

City of San Bernardino Funding Commitments: The City has committed a total of $21
million dollars towards the construction and operation of the campus:
o $12 million in ARPA funds for construction.
o $4.5 million in HOME ARP for construction.
o $4.5 million in ARPA funds for operations.

The City is exploring additional funding sources to help offset campus construction cost:
o Local partnerships (i.e., County of San Bernardino, local non-profits, Higher
Education, Health Organizations)
o PLHA
o CDBG
o HHAP
o ESG
Additional Note: The City is currently pursuing Encampment Resolution Funds
(ERF) and will be a co-applicant with Lutheran Social Services of Southern
California and San Bernardino Valley College (SBVC) on Project Homekey
Round 3. Encampment Resolution Funds do provide operational funding to
some extent but given that our proposed City of San Bernardino Navigation
Center will directly and indirectly support unsheltered individuals throughout the
region, the need for additional construction and on-going operational funds far
exceeds what is available through Project Homekey grant funding.
San Bernardino Regional Animal Shelter
In 2021, the City of San Bernardino demolished its antiquated animal shelter and
temporarily replaced it with modular buildings, with plans to build a permanent
shelter and veterinary care facility. The need for a comprehensive shelter to
serve not only San Bernardino, but the regions cities is acute. The lack of low-
cost veterinary services in the San Bernardino area continues to impair the ability
for residents to comply with the requirement to spay/neuter their dogs or to get
basic care for their pets. Currently, pet owners must wait months to schedule a
Packet Pg. 78
2
1

7
spay/neuter appointment for their pet, leading to accidental pregnancies and
unwanted litters of puppies.
Neighboring cities currently contract animal shelter services to neighboring
counties because there is currently no local alternative for them in the area.
Building a centrally located, state-of-the-art facility will expand needed services
and capacity for San Bernardino and other nearby cities in the region, increasing
the ability for residents to adopt pets, access services, and locate lost pets.
New Animal Shelter estimated cost $63M. The project has four primary phases.
Additional Funding Commitments: The San Manuel Band of Mission Indians,
a longtime supporter of the care and adoption of animals, has committed
$500,000 toward the new shelter.

San Bernardino City Hall Project
San Bernardino City Hall is one of the earliest examples of the glass skin
architecture style developed by world famous architect César Pelli. Designed in
1969 and completed in 1973, the building is an important historical
representation of the architectural style of the late 1960s and early 1970s. Local
residents and visitors regularly use the building as a backdrop for photos.
The building is no longer suitable for occupation due to seismic instability and
the need for significant system upgrades. As a result, since 2017 city staff have
been relocated to multiple leased facilities, resulting in operational inefficiencies
and ongoing difficulties for residents and businesses seeking services. The City
of San Bernardino is evaluating options for funding the full cost of renovations,
which is estimated to be approximately $91 million.
The full design for City Hall renovation is estimated to cost $10.8M

Historic California Theatre Renovation
The California Theatre opened in 1928 and has hosted the San Bernardino
Symphony since 1929. It houses one of the few remaining Wurlitzer pipe organs
in the world, which is original to the theatre. The legendary theatre was the
location for screening of such famous films as “King Kong,” and “The Wizard of
Oz,” and it was the site of Will Rogers’ last performance before his tragic death
in 1935. The City of San Bernardino has been working to renovate this historic
building with local and other funds. The State of California provided $2.5 million,
which enabled the city to plan investments in new HVAC, structural upgrades
and building aesthetics.
Phase 2 of the renovations includes replacing the electrical system, the sound
and lighting systems, repainting the entire interior, replacing carpeting, and
making improvement to the alley outside. For San Bernardino, a performing arts
facility like the California Theater is essential to keeping residents connected with
music, theatrical, dance and cultural performances.
Phase 2 of the California Theatre is estimated to cost $4.5M

To: Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers, City of San Bernardino
From: Hurst Brooks Espinosa, LLC
Re: 2022 Year-End Report
The team at Hurst Brooks Espinosa, LLC is proud to share with you a report on our advocacy
activities on behalf of the City of San Bernardino for 2022. We greatly appreciate the opportunity
to work with you and your team to improve the quality of life for the residents of the City through
efficient and effective programs and services. Our goal has been to elevate the engagement of the
City in policy and budget matters with your legislative delegation, state agencies and departments,
and the Governor’s Office through our advocacy efforts. What follows is a summary of our work on
the City’s behalf over the past year.
Legislation of Interest
At the direction of City staff, HBE drafted letters in support and opposition to legislation,
processed bill letters, and testified in relevant legislative policy committees on the measures
summarized below:
AB 1623 (Ramos): Personal income taxes: exclusion: uniformed services retirement pay:
survivor benefit plan payments.
City position: SUPPORT
Outcome: Held in Assembly Appropriations Committee
AB 1623 would have excluded, for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2023, and before
January 1, 2033, uniformed services retirement pay and annuity payments from a United States
Department of Defense Survivor Benefit Plan received by qualified taxpayers during the taxable
year from gross income under the Personal Income Tax (PIT) Law.
AB 1740 (Muratsuchi): Catalytic converters.
City position: SUPPORT
Outcome: Signed by the Governor
AB 1740 prohibits a core recycler from entering into a transaction to purchase or receive a
catalytic converter from any person that is not a commercial enterprise or verifiable owner of the
vehicle from which the catalytic converter was removed.
Packet Pg. 82

AB 1881 (Santiago): Animal welfare: Dog and Cat Bill of Rights.
City position: OPPOSE
Outcome: Died on Senate Inactive File
AB 1881 would have required each public animal control agency, shelter, or specified rescue
group to provide a notice related to essential needs and care for dogs and cats and established
penalties for non-compliance.
AB 1951 (Grayson): Sales and use tax: exemptions: manufacturing.
City position: OPPOSE
Outcome: Vetoed by the Governor
AB 1951 would have expanded, for a five-year period, the existing partial sales and use tax (SUT)
exemption for manufacturing and research and development (MR&D) to a full exemption until
January 1, 2028. This change would result in substantial revenue loss to local governments, which
impacts essential health, safety, welfare, and transportation services.
AB 2237 (Friedman): Transportation planning: regional transportation improvement plan:
sustainable communities strategies: climate goals. alternative planning strategy: state
transportation funding.
City position: OPPOSE
Outcome: Held in Senate Transportation Committee
AB 2237 would have conditioned state and local transportation funding on a project's consistency
with the applicable Sustainable Communities Strategy (SCS) and state climate goals.
AB 2407 (O’Donnell): Vehicle tampering: theft of catalytic converters.
City position: SUPPORT
Outcome: Held in Senate Appropriations Committee
AB 2407 would have required a core recycler who accepts a catalytic converter for recycling to
report the information in the specified written record to the chief of police or to the sheriff;
additionally would have prohibited a core recycler form providing payment for a catalytic
converter unless the recycler obtains a thumbprint of the seller and required the recycler to
maintain that thumbprint for a period of two years after the date of the sale; and would have
required a core recycler to request to receive theft alert notifications regarding the theft of
catalytic converters in the core recycler’s geographic region from the theft alert system.
SB 1186 (Wiener): Medicinal Cannabis Patients’ Right of Access Act.
City position: OPPOSE
Outcome: Signed by the Governor
SB 1186 prohibits local governments, beginning January 1, 2024, from banning, or effectively
banning, the delivery of medicinal cannabis to patients or primary caregivers within their
jurisdictions, enforceable through an action for writ of mandate.

SB 1449 (Caballero): Office of Planning and Research: grant program: annexation of
unincorporated areas
City position: SUPPORT
Outcome: Vetoed by the Governor
SB 1449 would have required the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR) to establish
the Unincorporated Area Annexation Incentive Program, upon appropriation of funds by the
Legislature, to provide grants to cities to fund projects related to the annexation of unincorporated
islands.
In addition to active advocacy on the measures described above, HBE monitored and reported on
dozens of other bills of interest to the City.
2022-23 State Budget
In addition to regular summaries and reporting on various items discussed among the
Administration and the Legislature during debates on the 2022-23 state budget, HBE
communicated on a variety of budget requests to the City’s legislative delegation, including
funding for Seccombe Lake Park improvements and the Lutheran Social Services San Bernardino
Community Wellness Campus. HBE assisted in preparing materials for the City to present to its
legislative delegation, fielded questions, and advocated for resources for City-sponsored projects
with the legislative delegation through the budget season. In addition, we communicated the City’s
support for $2.5 million in one-time funding for the City of San Bernardino Police Department to
engage in community relationship building, as requested by Assembly Member James Ramos.
Engagement with City Delegation Members and Staff
HBE regularly engaged in communication with the City of San Bernardino legislative delegation
and their respective staffs. In addition to sharing bill position letters and budget requests, we
responded to inquiries, met with members and staff regarding the City’s legislative priorities,
scheduled and supported council member meetings with legislators, and shared information with
legislative staff upon request of City staff. In addition, we responded to legislative staff inquiries by
connecting them with the appropriate City staff or securing answers to their questions directly.
We also engaged with the Inland Empire Caucus of the Legislature to ensure that they understood
the City’s priorities and that the City understood theirs. Finally, we secured legislative support for
the Roosevelt Bowl Restoration funding request to Congress.
Engagement with State Agencies
At the City’s request, HBE connected with the Housing and Community Development Department,
along with legislative leadership, to help facilitate communication and problem-solving regarding
the Emergency Rental Assistance Program (ERAP). These efforts hopefully secured successful
outcomes for individuals in need to receive rental assistance made available by the state and
federal governments.
Engagement with Advocacy Partners
HBE was actively communicating with other legislative advocates representing cities and counties
that shared legislative goals with the City. Primarily, we participated in weekly “city caucus”
meetings hosted by League of California Cities to discuss legislative matters of mutual interest,
share information, and collaborate on advocacy efforts.
Packet Pg. 84

In addition, HBE participated in regular meetings with city managers discussing League of
California Cities’ efforts to address cities’ sales tax allocation concerns and stayed in close
communication with relevant staff at the League of California Cities to monitor activity on this
priority issue.
Our Services
As part of our regular service to HBE clients, we have provided weekly policy updates during the
legislative session (and on a less frequent basis when the Legislature is out of session), in addition
to our comprehensive and timely summaries of the Governor’s Proposed 2022-23 Budget, May
Revision, and the adopted 2022-23 State Budget. We have also shared bill reports of introduced
measures of potential interest to the City, as well as reports of bills carried by members of the
legislative delegation. This Spring, we were privileged to be invited to visit the City for meetings
with department heads and council members. HBE participated in meetings with Investment
Playbook consultants and advised as to how to communicate the outcome of this effort to the
Newsom Administration and members of the Legislature. Finally, we prepared quarterly lobbying
activity reports as required by the Secretary of State and worked to connect city staff with
community partners, as requested.
In conclusion, we are pleased to have worked in collaboration with and on behalf of the City of San
Bernardino team.

Assembly Budget Request Proposal Form
City of San Bernardino H.O.P.E. (Homeless Outreach Prevention and Education)
Seeking Operating Cost Assistance for San Bernardino’s Comprehensive Homeless
Navigation Center
Total Amount Requested: $4.5 million
Summary of Request:
The City of San Bernardino is the epicenter of San Bernardino County’s homeless
emergency, with the highest concentration of homeless individuals within the County.
Over 40% of the County’s homeless reside within the city limits. According to the 2022
Point in Time Count, San Bernardino’s number of homeless has grown 175% since 2017.
In recent months, the City has taken the following steps to address this urgent situation:
1) In November 2022, the City Council approved a comprehensive Homeless Action
Plan, which outlined multiple near and medium-term projects and programs for
the City to undertake.
2) In December 2022, the City Council allocated over $24 million in City funds to
begin implementation of the Homeless Action Plan.
3) In February 2023, the Mayor and City Council declared a homeless state of
emergency in the City of San Bernardino.
San Bernardino H.O.P.E. (Homeless Outreach Prevention and Education) Navigation
Center
One of the first elements of the Action Plan is the creation of a comprehensive Navigation
Center. The Center will centralize supportive services for homeless and individuals at risk
of becoming homeless in a one stop shop format to ensure that most services are easily
accessible in a single, low barrier location. The Center will also include 200 units of
critically needed emergency and interim housing for men, women & families.
The Navigation Center’s onsite supportive services will include the following:
Intake Services and Assessments Individualized Case Management
Packet Pg. 86
Housing Navigation
Medical Care
Mental Health Services
Substance Abuse Counseling
Job Training and Placement
Homeward Bound/Family
Reunification
Assistance with Vital Documents
(i.e., birth certificate, Social
Security Card, California ID Card,
Driver’s License,)
Mailbox and Storage Access
Pet Housing and Care
The City is close to completing the acquisition of a 2.48-acre property on 6th Street
formally known as the “School of Hope” that is currently owned by the City’s Water
Department. The site will house the Navigation Center as part of Phase I of the project.
The City recently awarded a contract for an architectural firm to create a final design of
the campus. While the exact cost to complete the navigation center has not been
finalized, the project estimate is $23 million. Because much of the facility will incorporate
high-rated prefabricated modular units, the anticipated time frame for the project to
become operational is expected to be only 12-18 months.
While most of the funding for capital costs has been committed by the City, partner
agencies, and other external sources, near term operational funding assistance is
needed to ensure that the facility is fully operational when the construction is complete.
Operational Funding Needs
It is estimated that $3 million will be needed annually to operate the navigation center.
The City has committed $4.5 million to fund 50% of operations annually for the first
three years ($1.5 million per year).
The resulting operational shortfall ($4.5 million) needs to be filled to ensure the
timely launch of the Center during a time of a homeless emergency.
The City is exploring additional operational funding opportunities from grants and
program partners for future years. However, many alternative funding sources are
subject to annual approval and budget cycles and not likely to be in place by the time the
Center is set to open. These potential funding sources include:
o County of San Bernardino
o PLHA
o CDBG
o HHAP
o ESG
Packet Pg. 87
Why Couldn’t this request be funded through Project Room Key Funds?
The City of San Bernardino is currently pursuing Encampment Resolution Funds (ERF)
from the State and will be a co-applicant with Lutheran Social Services of Southern
California and San Bernardino Valley College (SBVC) on Project Homekey Round 3.
Encampment Resolution Funds do provide operational funding to some extent, but given
that our proposed City of San Bernardino Navigation Center will directly support
unsheltered individuals in San Bernardino, and indirectly support unsheltered individuals
throughout the region, the need for on-going operational funds far exceeds what is
available through Project Homekey grant funding.
Who would be the local administrator of this request? The City of San Bernardino
Do you have a state department in mind to administer these funds? The Housing and
Homelessness Division (HHD) is within the California Department of Social Services
(CDSS).
Please attach any relevant background information. A program brochure and associated
project overview presentation is attached.

City of San Bernardino
Request for Council Action
Date:February 15, 2023
To:Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From:Charles E. McNeely, Interim City Manager;
Barbara Whitehorn, Agency Director of Administrative Services
Department:Finance
Subject:Approval of Amended Form of Funding and
Acquisition Agreement Pertaining to Community
Facilities District No. 2020-1 (Rancho Palma) of the
City of San Bernardino (Ward 5)
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino,
California adopt Resolution No. 2023-029 of the Mayor and City Council of the City of
San Bernardino, California, Approving an Amended Form of Funding and Acquisition
Agreement Pertaining to Community Facilities District No. 2020-1 (Rancho Palma) of
the City of San Bernardino, County of San Bernardino, State of California.
Background
The City Council (the “City Council”) of the City of San Bernardino (the “City”) held and
conducted proceedings relating to the levy of special taxes and the issuance of bonds
in a community facilities district to finance the acquisition of certain public
improvements, as authorized pursuant to the terms and provisions of the “Mello-Roos
Community Facilities Act of 1982,” being Chapter 2.5. Part 1, Division 2, Title 5 of the
Government Code of the State of California. Such community facilities district is
designated as “Community Facilities District No. 2020-1 (Rancho Palma) of the City of
San Bernardino, State of California” (the “District”).
TH Rancho Palma, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Owner”) has
purchased certain real property located on approximately 28.34 gross acres of land
including Tract No. 20006 (the “Property”) located in the City, commonly known as
“Rancho Palma.” The District was formed for the purpose of financing the acquisition
of certain street improvements (the “Acquisition Facilities”) and the design, planning,
engineering, installation, and construction of certain public facilities and improvements,
to be owned, operated or maintained by the City (the “Public Facilities”) to satisfy the
obligation of the property and Owner for the payment of certain fees to the City.
Packet Pg. 165

The Owner and the City previously entered into a Funding and Acquisition Agreement
(the “Funding Agreement”) dated as of August 1, 2020, for the purpose of including the
Property in the District and establishing a plan for the financing of the acquisition,
design, and construction of the Acquisition Facilitates and Public Facilities. The Owner
has requested that the Public Facilities authorized to be financed pursuant to the
Funding Agreement include park facilities in lieu of payment of Quimby Fees (the “Park
Facilities”).
Quimby Fees are fees that are paid by developers according to the Quimby Act, which
was passed in 1975. The goal of the Act was to require developers to help mitigate the
impact of development by ensuring that parkland and open space was available for
recreation. The Act requires that developers set aside land, donate conservation
easements or pay fees for park improvements.
Discussion
The Owner has invested $1,132,625 for park facilities in the Rancho Palma
development, providing a park between Cable Creek Channel and W. Seco Drive that
includes walking paths, a playground, picnic facilities and a bocce ball court among
other amenities which meets the requirements of the Quimby Act. The construction
plan map is included herein. (Attachment 4)
The First Amendment to the Funding and Acquisition Agreement will amend Exhibit A
of the Funding Agreement authorizing the financing of the Park Facilities in addition to
the Acquisition Facilities and Public Facilities.
2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
This project is consistent with Key Target No. 1. Improved Operational & Financial
Capacity and Key Target No. 4: Economic Growth & Development. This project will
contribute to ensure that the City is clean and attractive and provide infrastructure
designed for long-term economic growth.
Fiscal Impact
There is no direct fiscal impact to the City, though it should be noted that the investment
in parks facilities in the amount of $1,132,625 meets the requirements of the Quimby
Act, and the developer will not be required to pay Quimby Park Fees to the City.
Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino,
California adopt Resolution No. 2023-021 of the Mayor and City Council of the City of
San Bernardino, California, Approving an Amended Form of Funding and Acquisition
Agreement Pertaining to Community Facilities District No. 2020-1 (Rancho Palma) of
the City of San Bernardino, County of San Bernardino, State of California.

City of San Bernardino
Request for Council Action
Date:February 15, 2023
To:Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From:Charles E. McNeely, Interim City Manager;
Darren Goodman, Chief of Police
Department:Police
Subject:Amendment to Increase Purchase Order with
Adamson Police Products (All Wards)
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino,
California, authorize the City Manager to increase the existing purchase order with
Adamson Police Products to an amount not to exceed $110,000 for the 2022/23 fiscal
year to allow for the purchase of ballistic vests, safety equipment and supplies.
Background
On January 20th, 2021 the Mayor and City Council adopted Resolution No. 2021-11,
which authorized the Director of Finance to issue a Purchase Order in the amount of
$75,000, with three single year renewal options, to Adamson Police Products for the
purchase of safety equipment.
Prior to issuing the purchase order, the City published Request for Quote 21-09, and
Adamson Police Products provided the lowest overall bid on the products listed, to
include ballistic vests. Adamson Police Products is a proven vendor that consistently
provides quality equipment at competitive prices.
During a recent vest fitting it was discovered that 87 officers are in need of a new
ballistic vest. Ballistic vests have a limited useful service life and must be replaced every
five years.
Discussion
The Police Department issues ballistic vests to every new police officer and some
civilian employees that work in the field. Ballistic vests are an essential piece of safety
equipment, with an expiration date set by the manufacturer. The department budgets for
the purchase of approximately 50 vests every year, however, that projection was
surpassed during this round of purchasing due to the number of newly hired officers.
Adamson’s initial bid per vest was $1,060 but based on the volume of this order, the
Packet Pg. 203
vendor was able to lower the price to $897 per vest.
The previously authorized purchase order amount of $75,000 accounted for an
estimated balance of $25,000 to remain spendable with Adamson after vest purchases.
This purchase order increase request would allow for the purchase of the 87 vests, and
still leave a balance on the purchase order for essential equipment purchases from
Adamson as they become necessary during the remainder of the fiscal year.
Staff is recommending that the Adamson Police Products purchase order for the current
fiscal year (FY2022/23) be increased to $110,000. This purchase order increase will not
cause an increase to the Police Department’s FY 2022/23 budget.
2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
The request to authorize the City Manager to increase the current purchase order with
Adamson Police Products aligns with Key Target No. 1: Improved Operational &
Financial Capacity: Implement, maintain, and update a fiscal accountability plan.
Fiscal Impact
There is sufficient funding included in the FY22/23 Adopted Budget in the Police
General Fund, and Asset Forfeiture funds.
Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino,
California, authorize the City Manager to increase the existing purchase order with
Adamson Police Products to an amount not to exceed $110,000 for the 2022/23 fiscal
year to allow for the purchase of ballistic vests, safety equipment and supplies.

Daniel Hernandez, Agency Director of Public Works,

Department:Public Works
Subject:Task Order Issued to Transtech Engineers for
Augmented Engineering Services Pursuant to
Professional Service Agreement for On-Call
Engineering Services (All Wards)
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino,
California, approve a Task Order Transtech001 to Transtech Engineers to provide
augmented Capital Improvement Program Programmatic Services pursuant to the
approved Professional Services Agreement (PSA) for On-Call Engineering Services
and authorize the Agency Director of Administrative Services to issue a purchase order
in the amount of $135,850.
Background
On November 16, 2022, the City Council approved a standard Professional Service
Agreement with 24 Engineering firms to provide the following services:
Street Construction Projects that will require DOT Traffic Control Designs
Storm Drain Projects
Wastewater Projects
Structural Design and Construction Projects
Environmental Consulting
Geotechnical Engineering Investigation
Surveying Services
Landscaping Design
Construction Inspection and Construction Management
Architecture
Civil Engineering
Mechanical Engineering
Packet Pg. 208
Electrical Engineering
Plumbing Engineering
Project Management/Staff Augmentation
The selection of the firms was based on each consultant meeting the pre-qualified
requirements, licensing, and certifications without being debarred, suspended, or
ineligible from bidding or accepting work from any State of California or Federal
contracts.
Discussion
The City of San Bernardino has approximately $100 million in capital improvements
programmed over the next five years. The CIP includes rehabilitation of arterial
highways, collectors, and residential streets; intersection widening improvements;
miscellaneous concrete replacements and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
improvements; installation of BMPs and NPDES improvements; installation of traffic
signals; construction of park improvements; installation of landscaping and irrigation
improvements; bridge maintenance and repairs; and rehabilitation of City-owned
facilities.
With a high volume of CIP projects, the need to develop an efficient and robust CIP is
critical to the delivery and success of the program. Many cities within San Bernardino
County use a combination of in-house staff and consultants for program delivery. Due
to recent changes to the Engineering Division and the challenges in staff recruitment,
the Public Works Department seeks to model this approach to improve the City’s
current CIP program.
While critical positions, such as the Principal Engineer and the City Engineer, are filled,
staff seeks to issue a task order (Attachment 1-Exhibit B) pursuant to the approved
PSA to provide professional engineering and program management services related
to implementing the City’s CIP. This will allow the department to continue strengthening
the CIP program while recruiting and onboarding key staff members.
On January 10, 2023, staff requested proposals to provide CIP Programmatic
Services. Two (2) responses to the RFP were received on January 25, 2023.
Firm Name Location Proposed Amount
TKE Engineering Inc.Riverside, CA $117,800
Transtech Engineers Chino, CA*$135,850
Note- Transtech Engineers has a local office in San Bernardino.
Each firm proposed a different approach to provide the CIP Programmatic Services
based on a requested 40 hours per week as indicated in the RFP.
A selection committee consisting of Public Works management level staff reviewed the
two proposals and conducted firm interviews. Transtech Engineers received superior
ratings in the following categories: necessary related experience, adequacy of staff,
Packet Pg. 209
depth of understanding of the City’s CIP needs and approach to augment staff.
As indicated in their proposal and further elaborated in their presentation, Transtech
Engineers has extensive experience throughout Los Angeles and San Bernardino
County and provided an extensive and thorough transition plan to which staff found to
be effective.
Lastly, it‘s important to note that the approved PSA at the time of preparing the staff
report was in the signature routing process. Transtech will not be issued a Notice to
Proceed (NTP) until the PSA is fully executed.
2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
This task order is consistent with Key Target No. 1f: Improved Operational and
Financial Capacity - Create an asset management plan. Approval of this
comprehensive and formal approach will support the City with the long-term
management of capital assets and provide strategic practices to effectively deliver
community benefits and economic growth.
Fiscal Impact
As indicated in the November 16, 2022, staff report, any project with a total budget
estimated to exceed $50,000 will be presented to the City Council for approval prior to
authorizing a notice to proceed on the Task Order.
The recommended task order total is within the City’s approved budget. The budget
for the proposed work was previously established through the Adopted FY22-23
Budget in account number 001-400-0001*5502 and an approved budget amendment
on December 7, 2022, to account number 001-400-0001*5505. The following table
provides a breakdown by account.
Account Number Proposed Amount
001-400-0001*5502 $10,850
001-400-0001*5505 $125,000
Total $135,850
As indicated above, with the recent changes in the Engineering Division along with
the staffing challenges, staff intends to work with Transtech to ensure the timely
delivery of our Capital Improvement Program. Engineering Management intends to
assign in-house program management staff or solicit proposals from our On-Call
contractors to CIP projects when the project schedule allows for it. However, some
projects are stagnant and have funding deadlines associated with them. As a result,
staff intends to utilize Transtech when appropriate to ensure those projects are not
compromised. The respective project account number will pay for all project
management assigned to Transtech or an On-Call contractor.

obtaining project funding for these individual programs
Projects utilizing only state funds require less oversight and review than those with federal-aid funds. Not all of the
processes described in the chapters of this manual apply to these projects. LAPM Chapters 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, and
17 apply in whole, or in part, to these projects. The LAPG further defines these programs.
In addition to Chapter 16 of LAPM, several other chapters will be applicable to the tasks that will be performed
by the selected Program Management Consultant on Federally and State Funded projects. Following is a
summary of LAPM Chapters, which maybe applicable to various project phases where guidelines and
requirements included in LAPM Chapters will have to be followed:
o Chapter 2: Roles and Responsibilities defines the roles and responsibilities for the various entities involved in
developing a local assistance project.
o Chapter 3: Project Authorization describes the process to obtain project authorization and fund obligation
required for each phase of a federal-aid project.
o Chapter 4: Agreements describes the agreements needed between the LPA and the State and between
the State and FHWA to obtain reimbursement of funds.
o Chapter 5: Invoicing describes the general accounting procedures necessary to receive reimbursement for
work done in any phase of the project.
o Chapters 6-8: Environmental Procedures, Field Review, and Public Hearings discuss the project initiation and
environmental procedures needed to bring a project to the stage at which the LPA decision-makers commit
the project to final design and implementation.
o Chapter 9: Civil Rights and Disadvantaged Business Enterprises describes the requirements for establishing
and reporting DBE program and project goals. This process may be necessary during the initial project stage,
or may not be required until a later phase.
o Chapter 10: Consultant Selection describes the requirements for selecting and hiring consultants to perform
project activities.
o Chapters 11 & 12: Design Guidance and Plans, Specifications, & Estimate describe the design standards to
be used and the Plans, Specifications and Estimate (PS&E) development necessary to bring the project to
the advertising and construction stage.
o Chapters 13 & 14: Right of Way and Utility Relocations describe the procedures used to acquire right of way
or relocate utilities.
o Chapters 15-17: Advertise and Award Project, Administer Construction Contracts, and Project Completion
describe the procedures from advertising through construction administration, project completion, and
completion of the final reports.
o Chapter 18: Maintenance describes the ongoing maintenance responsibilities and activities needed to
assure that the project remains a functional public asset, and the related inspection and reporting
requirements.

1. Perception Approach 1.5
Proposal
Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Programmatic Services
2. Approach to the project including steps to ensure ultimate compliance with
objectives of the work, quality and accuracy
PROJECT DELIVERY, PLANNING AND EXECUTION APPROACH:
Project delivery, on time and on budget, may involve the process steps listed below:
• Active involvement early in the project and a thorough understanding of the agencies goals and
objectives.
• Management of scope and quality (i.e., is the available budget and the desired scope consistent
and feasible?).
• Identify deliverables, phasing, and overall project schedule. (This specifically includes project closeout
procedures. Never wait until the last minute to define expectations for project completion.)
• Creation of a basic work breakdown structure. (This is also the time to consider potential alternatives.)
• Identification of the critical activities and the required path from beginning to successful completion.
• Assembly of necessary and effective team members.
• Identify the owner of the project and the project point of contact.
• Identification of critical stakeholders and definition of their respective roles.
• Establish the total project budget and the total project schedule.
• Identification of milestone events required to evaluate and/or verify project performance.
• Identify, assesses likelihood, mitigate, and assign potential risks.
• Define quality control procedures, including code required special inspection and testing.
• Define quality assurance procedures, including review and acceptance of special inspection reports
and testing results.
• Monitor costs against the established budget and guard against unfunded scope creep.
• Monitor actual progress against the established project schedule.
To be cost effective, the management of projects should be tailored to the actual project. Steps and
processes that are required for some projects are not necessarily required to all projects. For the same reason,
staffing should be tailored to meet the needs of the specific project, and available staffing should be shared
among multiple projects where increased efficiency can be achieved.
STRUCTURED APPROACH:
We have a structured approach to execute projects in an efficient manner that makes Transtech capable
of providing the City with an efficient and quality product. We have established guidelines and policies on
quality control, project management, and procedures. These guidelines ensure a consistent approach to
the execution of assignments undertaken by our organization in compliance with City’s specific procedures,
standards and requirements. The following paragraphs describe our general approach to deliver projects in
an efficient and cost-effective manner:
• Project Management: Our approach is to provide proactive management and attempt to identify potential
issues and problems in advance and take corrective actions before they become problems. This requires
extensive hands-on knowledge, experience and management skills of the people involved in managing the
project. Our team members have extensive experience and proven track record in managing large and
complex projects and bringing them to a completion on time and within budget.
• Approach to Cost Control and Change Orders: We evaluate project costs and develop feasible mitigation
measures to minimize additional costs. We work as a team to solve problems or make modifications in the field
to address unforeseen conditions or owner generated changes in a cost-effective manner.
• Approach to Scheduling and Timely Completion of Project and Schedule Recovery: The baseline schedule
should properly identify the project scope, critical path, project milestones, target dates, phases and sequences
of work, and activity durations. When significant activities show that they are slipping from the baseline, we work
with the contractor to develop recovery plans.
• Management of Documents: We use an electronic file management system. All construction forms, daily dairies,
weekly statement of working days, etc. are stored in our electronic file system, and are per Caltrans
documentation system. We provide these documents at the end of the project to the client in organized files as
well as pdf files.
Packet Pg. 242
1. Perception Approach 1.6
Proposal
Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Programmatic Services
• Safety and Security: We hold meetings with the contractor to review and discuss safety and security requirements,
OSHA conformance, emergency security and safety procedures, and enforce security and safety responsibilities.
• Funding Closeout: We prepare necessary closeout documentation required by the funding agencies, submit final
reimbursement documentation, follow-up on the reimbursements, and final funds balance report.
• Project Closeout: We recognize that closeout is an important part of the construction process. It signifies that the
new facility structure is ready to use. We methodically handle all closeout tasks to ensure a smooth transition from
construction to occupancy.
• Methodology for Communication to Inform City on Work Progress: Key project team members will attend periodic
project progress meetings with City staff throughout the project duration.
• Electronic common project information and file sharing platform: We create and provide access to project
participates a common project information and file sharing platform.
DUE DILIGENCE ACTIVITIES AND MEASURES:
Following are description of the due diligence activities and measures that maybe considered to
avoid/minimize the occurrence/impacts of unforeseen conditions:
• In our view, due diligence is related to, but distinctly different from quality control and/or quality
assurance. Due diligence, in this context, is the care and effort during all project phases, from project
planning, design thru construction.
• Effective project controls part of the diligence activities, and lead to developing efficient measures
and resolutions, and play an important role to keep complex projects on track. They help teams and
stakeholders identify emerging risks early, before they become expensive, time-consuming problems.
With advance warning, these issues can be mitigated or avoided altogether. Project controls also
give the project team the data they need to set realistic expectations, and plan and manage the
project with efficiently.
• Also, when an unforeseen condition occurs, it is important to quickly assess the potential impact of
such condition on the schedule and project’s critical path, and deal with the issue accordingly. For
example, an unforeseen condition that may lead to potential delay and delay claims (in addition to
direct construction work cost related to the condition), would have high priority, and may require to
proceed with the work under specific monitoring of this specific work separately, while the facts and
responsibilities are sorted out, and an appropriate change order is finalized.
• Identifying potential construction risks prior to the start of construction can lead to success. During
preconstruction, review of construction and contract documents in an effort to identify risks or
concerns prior to the start of construction, will minimize the potential of unforeseen conditions..
APPROACH/STRATEGY FOR MANAGING, NEGOTIATING, AND INCORPORATING CHANGES IN PROJECT SCOPE
A number of different factors can influence the development of Change Orders on projects, which can result
from either foreseen or unforeseen conditions and may include:
• Design Modifications
• Errors and Omissions
• Changed Conditions
• Additional/Reduced Work Scope
• Owner-Directed Schedule Acceleration or Slowdown
• Work Sequencing
• Adjustments to Unit Pricing
• Force Majeure Delays
• Added Cost Incentives
• Delayed, Denied, or Restricted Access to a Project Site
• Inappropriate Rejection of the Contractor’s Work
• Delays to Owner-Supplied Services and Materials
Our approach and strategy is structured based on minimizing cost and schedule impacts, while evaluating
change orders in a timely, fair and equitable manner.
Packet Pg. 243
1. Perception Approach 1.7
Proposal
Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Programmatic Services
Initial evaluation of a change order request may include various elements:
• Is it already covered in the contract?
• Is it necessary to complete the work?
• Impact on the planned work?
• Will it affect or change the contractor’s planned method of performing the work?
• Will it cause a work-character change?
• Impact on the contract time?
• Methods of payment?
• Are there sufficient contingency funds? If not, can additional funds be obtained soon enough to
prevent delays?
• Impacts on any regulatory conditions, permits, utilities, etc..
Initial documentation may include:
• A memorandum explaining and justifying (or rejecting) the change order
For many change orders, the following documents may be prepared:
• Architect/Engineer of Record stamped, signed and dated revised plan sheets and Specifications,
when applicable.
• Cost estimate calculations supporting any agreed prices
• A time impact analysis justifying any time extensions
Change Order Backlog may be maintained in 2 main categories:
• Undisputed. Includes potential Change Orders that are not in contention and their processing is
delayed because of inadequate administrative support, procedures, or funding.
• Disputed. There are two reasons for a potential Change Order to be disputed.
o In the first case, the owner and the contractor are unable to come to an agreement that the
scope of work that is identified in the potential Change Order actually represents a change to the
contract scope.
o In the second case, the owner and the contractor both agree that the work scope is a change
to the contract scope of work, but are unable to agree on the value or cost of the potential
Change Order and/or its time impact. For potential Change Orders that are disputed, the
approval and compensation may be delayed. The issues, if they are ignored or unresolved, can
later become claims.
Our approach to change order negotiations and resolution includes:
• Establishing the method by which the Change Order will be priced, which usually dictates the level
of negotiation that may be required to resolve the additional costs and time.
• Depending on the amount, complexity, potential impacts, preparation of an independent cost
estimate and a time impact analysis.
Depending on our involvement in various project phases, we suggest consideration of following items to
minimize change order potentials and impacts on the project when a change order is implemented:
• Design Phase:
o Constructability reviews and value engineering program to assess the feasibility of the project’s
design and defined work scope.
o Change order procedures.
o Change management process.
o Avoid delaying the approval of changes that will ultimately be approved. This tactic results in the
changes being pushed to later in the project where they become more costly to implement. It is
a misconception to believe that the issues related to Change Orders resolve themselves.
o Authorization for a change should be mandatory before implementation, regardless of the type
of agreement or contract. Authorization should be timely and decisive.
Packet Pg. 244
1. Perception Approach 1.8
Proposal
Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Programmatic Services
• Contract Award Phase:
o Evaluation of contractor’s bid proposal to ensure that the documents are complete and that the
cost and schedule reasonably represent the scope objectives and timelines required for the
project.
• Construction phase:
o Budget and schedule baseline control.
o Processing, approving, and executing Change Orders in a timely manner to avoid disputes and
claims that may affect the progress and completion of the project.
Change Order Documentation:
• Change orders should be prepared in a clear, concise, and explicit manner. A change orders should
be easily understood by third parties reviewing it what work was performed without further
explanation.
Communicate with Parties Involved:
• Discus the reason for the requested change and how it will be managed. Disputes over change orders
can be magnified is not properly managed.
• Define the new scope of work and discuss how it will impact the current construction schedule and
performance.
• Keep everyone updated on the change order process.
• Minimize the potential of disputes and claims by documenting change order process in detail.
When applicable, show change order on as-built drawings:
• The contractor is typically required to mark up the contract drawings with the as-built details. This
should also include the revisions that were addressed and approved in the Change Order documents.
• Have the Architect/Engineer of Record review the level of detail and progress of the contractor’s as-
built drawings periodically so that any deficiencies can be addressed in a timely manner.
Approach to efficient change order resolution:
• For the negotiations to be successful, it is important that the owner and the contractor be objective
in their analysis of the cost and time to complete the work scope that is defined by the potential
Change Order. Frequently, the process suffers because of differing personalities and from heightened
emotions. To be productive, the focus of the negotiations should remain on the factual circumstances
that are related to the Change Order.
• During negotiations, disagreements are often experienced, which can impede the progress for
finalizing the Change Order. It is important to actively resolve any disputes as they develop so that
an accord between parties can be reached in a timely manner. This attention by the parties will help
to minimize the filing of claims on a project.
• It is advantageous to both the owner and the contractor that potential Change Orders on a project
are processed in a fair, equitable, and timely manner. The failure to do so most often results in an
increased probability of extended disputes and claims between the owner and the contractor.
Project Partnering: Based on project’s size and complexity, Project Partnering may also be considered:
• Partnering is a relationship between the owner and the contractor, formed in order to effectively
complete the contract to the benefit of both parties. Through trust, cooperation and teamwork, the
goal is to resolve conflicts at the lowest possible level.
• Generally, the costs related to Project Partnering are shared between the owner and the contractor.
If formal Project Partnering is desired, it should be specified in the contract specifications. Informal
partnering may also be beneficial and does not require contract provisions to be implemented.
PROJECT CONTROL SYSTEMS:
Project controls are essential to keep complex construction projects on budget and on time. They help teams
Packet Pg. 245
1. Perception Approach 1.9
Proposal
Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Programmatic Services
and stakeholders identify emerging risks early, before they become expensive, time-consuming problems.
With advance warning, these issues can be mitigated or avoided altogether. Project controls also give
leadership the data they need to set realistic expectations, manage subcontractors, and plan with
confidence. During the course of a project, program and project managers use controls to monitor time and
cost expenditures and compare them to project lifecycle forecasts. They also rely on them to coordinate
onsite execution with the milestones established during the design, procurement, entitlement, and pre-
construction stages. The benefits of project controls are many. When they are put in place and used
appropriately, they contribute to increased efficiency, decrease in delays and cost overruns, and fewer
claims and costly litigation. Our staff has experience will all of the major document control software systems
including Procore, Autodesk ConstructWare (which has now become Construction Cloud), and Primavera
P6. In our experience all major control software programs work basically the same way, and adapting from
one software offering to another has a fairly small learning curve. Because the specific software is generally
a choice made by the prime contractor, our staff is ready to partner with any user of any program. That said,
not all projects require the ‘fire power’ associated with an expensive, sophisticated control system. Sometimes
an intelligently designed filing system that stores basic Word, Excel, PDF, and email documents in the cloud is
all a project really needs.
VALUE ADDED SERVICE:
Because we are a multi-disciplinary service firm and also provide plan check and inspection among many

CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION APPROACH (CALTRANS LAPM):
Current Version of LAPM is published with updates in January 2023.
For construction contract administration, we
follow guidelines described in Caltrans Local
Assistance Procedures Manual (LAPM).
Maintaining complete and accurate files is a very
important aspect of managing federally funded
projects. Generally, whenever the local agency
is unable to produce requested data or
information, it is assumed by reviewing personnel
that the required actions were either never
performed or not properly recorded. Organized
project files can minimize these negative
assumptions. Organization and content of the
project file is one indicator of effective and
efficient management of the project by the
resident engineer. LAPM has been prepared to
aid California local agencies scope, organize,
design, construct and maintain their public
transportation facilities when they seek Federal
Highway Administration (FHWA) funded federal-
aid or state funding. This manual describes the
processes, procedures, documents,
authorizations, approvals and certifications,
which are required in order to receive federal-aid
and/or state funds for many types of local
transportation projects.
The Local Assistance Procedures Manual (LAPM)
is intended to assist California Local Public
Agencies (LPAs) scope, organize, design,
construct, and maintain local public
transportation facilities utilizing Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA) federal-aid or state
funding. The LAPM describes the required
processes, procedures, documents,
authorizations, approvals, and certifications to
receive federal-aid and/or state funds for many types of local transportation projects.
The LAPM is intended to be used in conjunction with the Local Assistance Program Guidelines (LAPG). The
LAPG describes each of the federal-aid and state-funded Local Assistance programs and the requirements
Packet Pg. 248
2.. Methodology 2.2
Proposal
Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Programmatic Services
for obtaining project funding for these individual programs
Projects utilizing only state funds require less oversight and review than those with federal-aid funds. Not all of
the processes described in the chapters of this manual apply to these projects. LAPM Chapters 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,
10, and 17 apply in whole, or in part, to these projects. The LAPG further defines these programs.
In addition to Chapter 16 of LAPM, several other chapters will be applicable to the tasks that will be
performed by the selected Program Management Consultant on Federally and State Funded projects.
Following is a summary of LAPM Chapters, which maybe applicable to various project phases where
guidelines and requirements included in LAPM Chapters will have to be followed:
o Chapter 2: Roles and Responsibilities defines the roles and responsibilities for the various entities involved in developing
a local assistance project.
o Chapter 3: Project Authorization describes the process to obtain project authorization and fund obligation required
for each phase of a federal-aid project.
o Chapter 4: Agreements describes the agreements needed between the LPA and the State and between the State
and FHWA to obtain reimbursement of funds.
o Chapter 5: Invoicing describes the general accounting procedures necessary to receive reimbursement for work
done in any phase of the project.
o Chapters 6-8: Environmental Procedures, Field Review, and Public Hearings discuss the project initiation and
environmental procedures needed to bring a project to the stage at which the LPA decision-makers commit the
project to final design and implementation.
o Chapter 9: Civil Rights and Disadvantaged Business Enterprises describes the requirements for establishing and
reporting DBE program and project goals. This process may be necessary during the initial project stage, or may not
be required until a later phase.
o Chapter 10: Consultant Selection describes the requirements for selecting and hiring consultants to perform project
activities.
o Chapters 11 & 12: Design Guidance and Plans, Specifications, & Estimate describe the design standards to be used
and the Plans, Specifications and Estimate (PS&E) development necessary to bring the project to the advertising and
construction stage.
o Chapters 13 & 14: Right of Way and Utility Relocations describe the procedures used to acquire right of way or relocate
utilities.
o Chapters 15-17: Advertise and Award Project, Administer Construction Contracts, and Project Completion describe
the procedures from advertising through construction administration, project completion, and completion of the final
reports.
o Chapter 18: Maintenance describes the ongoing maintenance responsibilities and activities needed to assure that
the project remains a functional public asset, and the related inspection and reporting requirements.
o Chapter 19: Reserved for future use.
o Chapter 20: Audits and Corrective Actions describes the expectations, roles, and responsibilities for audits conducted
by the Caltrans Internal Audits Office (CIAO) or the Independent Office of Audits and Investigations (IOAI).
ARPA FUNDS:
The U.S. Department of Treasury used the standard Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) formula
for determining the allocation of funds to metropolitan cities. The U.S. Treasury issued an Interim Final Rule
with guidance on the funding allocation methodology, distribution process, and reporting requirements.
Transtech is also providing assistance to its contract Cities for the administration of these funds.
CIP MANAGEMENT:
Transtech manages Capital Project Program and maintains CIP Matrix and Schedule for various contract
Cities. The CIP Matrix includes a detailed tracking info for each CIP, as well as a high-level project schedule
status in bar chart format for various project phases. The CIP Matrix is updated frequently, and project status
is presented to City Management at management meetings, as well as to City Council when directed by the
City Management.

PROJECT CONTROL SYSTEMS:
Project controls are essential to keep complex construction projects on budget and on time. They help teams
and stakeholders identify emerging risks early, before they become expensive, time-consuming problems.
With advance warning, these issues can be mitigated or avoided altogether. Project controls also give
leadership the data they need to set realistic expectations, manage subcontractors, and plan with
confidence. During the course of a project, program and project managers use controls to monitor time and
cost expenditures and compare them to project lifecycle forecasts. They also rely on them to coordinate
onsite execution with the milestones established during the design, procurement, entitlement, and pre-
construction stages. The benefits of project controls are many. When they are put in place and used
appropriately, they contribute to increased efficiency, decrease in delays and cost overruns, and fewer
claims and costly litigation.
Our staff has experience with various document control software systems including Procore, Autodesk
ConstructWare (which has now become Construction Cloud), and Primavera P6. In our experience all major
control software programs work basically the same way, and adapting from one software offering to another
has a fairly small learning curve. Because the specific software is generally a choice made by the prime
contractor, our staff is ready to partner with any user of any program. That said, not all projects require the
‘fire power’ associated with an expensive, sophisticated control system. Sometimes an intelligently designed
filing system that stores basic Word, Excel, PDF, and email documents in the cloud is all a project really needs.
Transtech has a proven track record for completing projects on time. As part of our role as Project Managers
is to develop, review, update and manage the project schedules and confirm that tasks are scheduled within
reasonable and appropriate timeframes. We constantly review, monitor and update the schedule to confirm
it is in compliance with the original schedule and that related coordination with external/3rd parties/regulatory
agencies/utility companies, etc. are on track. If the look ahead schedule is not in compliance with the
original schedule, we take appropriate actions to avoid potential delays. Our approach to Scheduling and
Timely Completion of Project and Schedule Recovery includes having the contractor prepare a baseline
schedule, which identifies the project scope, critical path, project milestones, target dates, phases and
sequences of work, and activity durations. When significant activities show that they are slipping from the
baseline, we work with the contractor to develop recovery plans.
ISSUES TRACKING SYSTEM:
An issue tracking system provides an easy way to document issues, assign responsible party, and view the
status of how the issue resolution is progressing. Complete documentation of issues is critical to mitigate risks
on current projects and prevent similar issues on future projects. When issue tracking is integrated with the
project management system, all documentation, and communications related to the project become
centralized to provide complete transparency into project status.
Key components of effective issue tracking are:
• Date the issue was identified. This is important to document when the issue was first identified and
how long an issue is open. Issues that have long resolution times could be further investigated by
performing a root cause analysis.
• Description. A thorough description of the issue along with potential impacts to a project should be
noted. Including pictures or video along with pertinent annotations is vital to provide a visual
reference to the issue documentation.
• Issue Priority. When multiple issues need attention setting a priority of Low, Normal, or High will
accurately present the hierarchy of which issues are most critical to impacting project success or need
immediate resolution due to safety issues.
• Responsible Party. By assigning the person(s) responsible for resolving the issue (e.g., in the issue
tracking system) provides accountability. The transparency of an issue tracking system allows for the
responsible parties to be held accountable for completing tasks and keeping the project moving
forward.
Packet Pg. 251
2.. Methodology 2.5
Proposal
Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Programmatic Services
• Due Date. The issue tracking system should provide the ability to set reminders for those tasks to ensure
that due dates do not get missed which could jeopardize project closure dates. Setting reminders of
due dates ensure that no tasks slip through the cracks!
• Status. The visibility of issue status is essential for all project stakeholders to know if any progress is being
made. If there are bottlenecks or further approvals needed, it is important that these items be
documented and a plan of action created to resolve the issue.
Main benefits of an effective issues tracking system are:
• Lesser chance of delays; Enhanced operation visibility; More informed decision-making; Improved
accountability; Prevents misunderstanding; Faster formulation of contingency plans; Improved
accountability. Following is a snap shot of issues tracking documents on a recent project Transtech s
managing.
The project status and issues are discussed at weekly meetings with involved parties. Following is a screen

2. Provide QA/QC plan to ensure quality control for the duration of the project
We believe that quality control is the setting of minimum standards and/or quality requirements for the
specific project. Quality assurance is the means by which the quality control measures will be monitored
and/or enforced. We also believe that quality control and quality assurance measures need to be developed
jointly with the client. To effectively establish quality control measures, we must understand the County’s
specific expectations and/or level of desired quality for the specific project. Once the expectations have
been defined, and the quality control measures established, the quality assurance measures can be
established. A significant part of establishing the quality assurance measures includes the timing of the
measure. QC/QA can only be effective when the measures are applied and/or evaluated in a timely
manner.
Depending on a project’s size, complexity and the owner’s requirements, Quality Management may include
various elements:
1. Program Elements
o Policy and Procedures
o Goals and Objectives
o General Quality Management

B. PROJECT
APPROACH
Whether the services required are planning,
design, survey or construction related, successful
project delivery is our goal. Our definition of
successful project delivery is:
• Project completion that meets all project
requirements and specifications through:
o Programming
o Site Planning
o Preliminary Design
o Program Verification
o Design:
Schematic Design
Design Development
Construction Documents
Specifications
• Project Completion on Schedule
• Project Completion within Budget
Our goal is not limited to any one phase of a project
only but includes the incorporation of value
engineering and constructability review. Through

the examination of specific design and construction
alternatives, we will identify the most cost-effective
project alternative that meets projects
requirements and will provide for the greatest
opportunity for expedited construction, which
allows us to consistently deliver projects that use
public resources in a very wise and responsible
manner. We have developed this project approach
in order to maintain an expertise in our core
business of public works projects with tight
budgetary constraints.
To achieve our goal, we approach our projects by
first developing a project plan. Our project plan
considers the major issues described below and
development of project tasks (Scope of Services)
to be performed by the design team, preparation
of task budgets and preparation of a schedule to
complete each task. Prior to beginning preparation
of a project plan and Scope of Services, we would
perform the following:
• Detailed Review of the Project
• Preliminary Research and Data Collection
• Client Inquiries
• Field Reconnaissance
IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
TKE’s implementation plan includes the following
key elements which we routinely provide for each of
our projects:
P ROJECT M ANAGEMENT
TKE provides effective project management
services to a variety of clients. We have
successfully delivered extensive and highly visible
street improvement, traffic improvement, drainage
improvement, water, wastewater and facility
improvement projects for the County of San
Bernardino and Riverside, Cities of Banning,
Calimesa, Moreno Valley, Chino, Glendora, El
Monte, South El Monte, Corona, Highland,
Hesperia, Colton, Upland, Fontana, Yucaipa, Rialto,
Redlands, Wildomar, Lake Elsinore, and Riverside
and for the Municipal Agencies San Bernardino
Municipal Water Department, Rubidoux
Community Services District, Mission Springs
Water District, East Valley Water District, Three
Valleys Municipal Water District, Monte Vista Water
District, and Maywood Mutual Water
Company. TKE’s approach has consistently
allowed our partner agencies to fulfill their missions
of delivering the best value for the public’s
investment.
TKE’s management approach includes:
M ONTHLY P ROGRESS R EPORTS
TKE documents project progress for all projects
assigned to TKE by a comprehensive project
management summary. The summary includes
project name and related number, description of
progress, budget status, schedule compliance, and
anticipated upcoming accomplishments.
C OMMUNICATION
Communications with City staff is another
important component to effective project
management. In addition to the monthly progress
reports, TKE meets with clients as needed to
ensure the projects are proceeding as
anticipated. We document each discussion or
meeting with notes and electronically mail them to
the project team within three days of the
meeting/conference indicating action items and a
schedule for completion of these items.
R ECORD K EEPING
TKE keeps records in an organized filing system both
in hard copy and electronic forms. This organized
filing system allows TKE to access records
immediately should they be needed.
M EETINGS
TKE meets with project stakeholders as needed
including the public, permitting agencies, utilities,
etc. We meet with them at the project’s onset and
throughout the course of project development to
ensure all stakeholder project needs are considered
in the project design. All meeting preparation (City
Staff Reports, agendas, exhibits, slide shows, etc.)
will be prepared by TKE for each meeting. Again,
meetings will be documented. TKE has provided
numerous similar presentations to Councils (closed
sessions, council meetings, community meetings,
etc.).
T EAM M EETINGS
Team meetings include all parties that have any
interest in the project development. In particular,
the City’s Engineering and Public Works
Departments will be close working partners with

TKE in project development and environmental
compliance for capital projects.
CIP P ROJECT M ANAGEMENT
Project management will be an essential element
in all types of project delivery. Effective
communications will lead to effective
management. Management will include weekly
reviews of project budget and schedules and
regular meetings with all project shareholders.
For all projects, the most important aspect of
management will be to ensure that the City’s
interests are protected to the maximum extent
possible and project schedules are met. TKE will
ensure that public funds and impact fees are used
for the benefit of the community. Any deviation
from standards and requirements will be referred
to the public works director and/or city engineer
and TKE will implement direction given by City
staff. Maintaining excellent communications will
prevent any project processing misunderstandings
and will avoid project delays. TKE management
techniques always result in efficient project
delivery.
Managing other consultants is another area that
TKE excels. Due to our extensive variety of project
experience, TKE has a vast amount of knowledge
with all public works improvement projects. With
this understanding, TKE is able to manage others
and avoid any costly project changed conditions
and delays.
R EGULATORY, S UBDIVISION M AP A CT
AND C ITY S TANDARDS C OMPLIANCE
Another primary function of TKE staff is to verify
compliance with aspects of federal, state, and local
laws as well as the subdivision map act and City
standards. TKE is already well versed with federal,
state and local development law and the map act
requirements. Further, TKE will familiarize
ourselves with City standards verifying that all
construction related to engineering components,
are constructed in accordance with these
requirements and standards.
F EDERAL / S TATE F U NDING
C OMPLIANCE
TKE will verify that all construction activities,
records management and processing are
completed in accordance with project requirements
including Caltrans Construction Manual and Federal
/State requirements. TKE is already working
closely with Caltrans Local Assistance on numerous
other projects and is very familiar with funding
requirements ensuring that the City’s projects will
be delivered efficiently. TKE also has current
experience with Caltrans District 8 preparing
requests for authorization to proceed to
construction, programming change requests, and
variance to finance letter requests to conform to
actual bid amounts.
F INANCE AND A DMINISTRATION
TKE is familiar with a number of funding sources
for capital improvement projects. TKE has
prepared numerous applications and administered
these funds for a number of agencies. TKE has
extensive experience with Federal and State
funded projects including:
Δ Highway Safety Improvement Program
(HSIP)

o Proposition 50
We will apply this knowledge to process current
projects and continue to work with City staff to
match funding streams with proposed projects.
E NVIRONMENTAL C OMPLIANCE
Environmental permitting for projects within the
CIP may be complex and involve coordination with
multiple jurisdictional agencies, in addition to the
normal CEQA analysis and determination. Our
preliminary review of the CIP indicates that many
projects projected will qualify for a categorical
exemption. Other projects may require some
additional environmental permit requirements
including Clean Water Act (CWA) Section 404
permits from the United States Army Corps of
Engineers, CWA Section 401 permits from the
Regional Water Quality Control Board, Section
1602 Permits from the California Department of
Fish and Game and potential US ESA Section 7
permitting from the United States Fish and Wildlife
Service. TKE has experience in the acquisition of
each of these different permit types and will
provide excellent management and oversight to
ensure environmental compliance permitting is
implemented.
C ITY S TAFF R EQUIREMENTS
For all projects, TKE will require the City to provide
records of existing improvement drawings and
copies of any centerline ties and benchmarks
during the records research phase. The City will
also be required to provide direction for design
options and plan check comments at all pertinent
phases of design.

DISCUSSION
City of San Bernardino
Request for Council Action
Date:February 15, 2023
To:Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From:Genoveva Rocha, City Clerk
Department:City Clerk
Subject:Ranked Choice Voting
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino,
California, receive and file the report and presentation or provide direction to staff
regarding the next steps.
Background
On June 1, 2022, the Mayor and City Council directed staff to prepare a presentation
and recommendation on Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) in the City of San Bernardino.
The Charter Review Committee expressed interest in a presentation by staff on RCV.
The Committee discussed the matter on November 4, 2021; January 13, 2022; and
reaffirmed on March 3, 2022, and reached a consensus to present the request to the
Mayor and Council.
The City of San Bernardino updated the City Charter in 2016 to align City elections
with the State Primary Election and State General Elections held every two years. This
charter change allows the City to continue consolidating elections with San Bernardino
County and share the costs of the elections with other local area jurisdictions. The staff
has outlined what RCV is, potential benefits of RCV, and the potential costs associated.
Discussion
Ranked Choice Voting Explained
RCV is a method of conducting an election that allows voters to rank candidates in
order of preference when marking their ballots. Only one candidate can represent
each of the voter’s first, second, third, or fourth choices.
When electing a single candidate using RCV, all first choices are initially tallied. If any
Packet Pg. 347
1
0
6
9
candidate receives a majority of the first choices, that candidate is declared the
winner. If no candidate receives a majority, the “instant run-off” process is
triggered. The candidate receiving the fewest first choices is eliminated, and the votes
for that eliminated candidate now have their second choices counted. The ballots are
again tallied, and the process continues until one candidate wins a majority.
RCV is an attempt to allow a majority winner to be determined in just one election and
substitute holding a separate run-off election by having a series of mini run-offs, based
on a single set of ballots, until a winner is declared.
What are the benefits of Ranked Choice Voting
Moving into RCV for the City will eliminate the need for a run-off election when a single
candidate does not receive the necessary 50 percent plus 1 majority vote. Proponents
of RCV believe this process helps select the candidate that has the most votes and
broadest support, so voters get what they want. This would eliminate the need for, and
costs of, a primary election. The 2020 State Primary and the 2022 State Primary have
both resulted in the need for a run-off election. The run-off held in November 2020
cost the city an additional $96,528.
Municipalities that adopted Ranked Choice Voting for Elections
There are 16 states that currently allow RCV, including California. There are currently
seven municipalities in California that use RCV, three of which are newly implementing
the process for 2022. The cities of San Leandro, Oakland, and Berkeley implemented
the process in 2010, and San Francisco implemented the process in 2002.
The City of Eureka City Council opted to implement RCV; however, the County of
Humboldt’s equipment is not certified for RCV and implementation is delayed until
2024. The City of Albany adopted RCV through a ballot measure adopted at the
November 3, 2020 election. The City of Palm Desert is implementing RCV after a
lawsuit was filed against them for violations of the California Voters Rights Act and are
now moving into a hybrid system involving elements of district voting and
RCV. Information regarding the costs were obtained from these municipalities for
reference purposes.
The total estimated cost to the City of Albany (population of 19,696) as quoted by the
County of Alameda Registrar of Voters is as follows:
Regular election cost approx. $ 52,000
Initial voting system approx. $ 11,500
RCV Charges approx. $ 26,000 Estimate
(Cost is shared with 3 other municipalities San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley)
Total $ 89,500
Packet Pg. 348

In addition to the above costs, voter/candidate outreach and education, and other
administrative RCV related expenses will also apply.
The total estimated cost to the City of Palm Desert (population of 53,185) as quoted
by the County of Riverside are as follows:
RCV Software $150,000
RCV Annual licensing $ 70,000
County’s RCV Implementation Consultant $100,000 (Not to exceed)
County’s Consultant for Poll Worker
Training & Other Services $100,000 (Not to exceed)
County’s Regular Election Cost $ 97,000
Total (Initial year) $517,000
This is the total for the initial year and is based on the County’s invoice for final costs.
Additional City Expenses:
RCV Technical Consultant $20,000
RCV Educational Consultant
& Services, including Citywide
mailer and other advertisement costs $86,530
Options to consider for City of San Bernardino
Currently, the City of San Bernardino consolidates all municipal elections with San
Bernardino County. The San Bernardino County Registrar of Voters currently uses
certified equipment; however, they will need to obtain additional software and licensing
to hold an election using RCV. If the County Board of Supervisors approves the City’s
request to consolidate the election, all the costs incurred by the County to implement
this process will be passed on to the City. If the Board of Supervisors denies the City’s
request to consolidate the election, it will result in the City holding a stand-alone
election.
To provide all options and pertinent information to the Mayor and City Council on this
topic, staff reached out to the San Bernardino County Registrar of Voters regarding
possibly consolidating if the City were to implement RCV. We were unable to receive
a tentative determination whether, and on what terms, the registrar would be willing to
consolidate should the City adopt RCV.
Requirements to hold a Stand-Alone election
To ensure the City follows all proper procedures and voting laws, the City will need to
procure a consultant for elections services. In addition to the consultant, the City will
also need to obtain certified voting equipment to comply with California Elections Code
Packet Pg. 349

19006. The City has identified the voting system used by all counties who currently
hold RCV elections. They have provided an estimate of costs for a full vote by mail
election, outlining the purchase or rental of equipment:
Option 1: Vote by Mail - Purchase of Equipment:
To hold a stand-alone election using Vote by Mail, the City will need to obtain certified
equipment. Should the City elect to purchase the equipment the cost will be
$275,439.60 with annual costs of $54,325.00. This includes the purchase of all voting
equipment along with the cost for training and implementation.
Option 2: Vote by Mail - Rental of the Equipment:
At a reduced cost, the vendor offers the option to rent all equipment needed to hold a
vote by mail election using RCV; the cost will be $105,900.00, per election cycle.
Option 3: In Person election-
If the City chooses to hold the election in person, it will need to issue a Request for
Proposal (RFP) for a consultant to provide elections services. In addition to the
consultant, the City will also need to obtain certified equipment, elections supplies,
polling locations, poll workers, and poll worker training.
It is essential to highlight that the pricing for the City of San Bernardino appears to be
significantly lower than the cost of Palm Desert, which consolidates with Riverside
County. The difference is the cost provided in this report for the City of San Bernardino
is solely for a City-wide vote-by-mail/ RCV election.
If the Mayor and City Council would like to transition to an RCV method for elections,
it will require an amendment to the City Charter. For that to occur, staff will need to
draft a measure, the Mayor and City Council would then need to place the measure on
the ballot, and the City’s voters would need to approve the amendment to the City
Charter to adopt RCV for future elections. If the Mayor and City Council desire to
continue to explore the RCV option, staff recommends the Mayor and City Council
direct staff to confer with the San Bernardino County Registrar of Voters to determine:
(1) if the County would continue to consolidate the City’s election should the City shift
to RCV; and (2) a realistic cost estimate for consolidation. This would allow staff to
return with a formal recommendation.
2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
The proposed action would meet Key Target No. 1: Improved Operational & Financial
Capacity and Key Target No. 2: Focused, Aligned Leadership and Unified Community.
Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact to the City in regard to receiving and filing this report.

DISCUSSION
City of San Bernardino
Request for Council Action
Date:February 15, 2023
To:Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From:Charles E. McNeely, City Manager
Department:City Manager's Office
Subject:Consider the appropriate staffing levels for both the
Office of the Mayor and the City Council Office (All
Wards)
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino,
California,
1. Review and consider the proposed staffing for both the Office of the Mayor and the
City Council Office and provide modifications or approve as presented.
2. Adopt Resolution No. 2023-031 authorizing the Agency Director of Administrative
Services to amend the FY 2022/23 General Fund Operating Budget in the amount
of $143,387.
Background
The City of San Bernardino’s current charter was adopted by voters on November 8,
2016, and filed with the California Secretary of State on January 31, 2017. The 2016
charter amendments that were approved by voters included numerous changes;
however, the most significant was the implementation of a council-manager form of
government. In general, the council-manager form of government combines the
political leadership of elected officials, the Mayor and City Council, with an appointed
administrator, the City Manager.
City Council
The City Council serves as the legislative body, which means they have the authority
to set policy, approve contracts and agreements, and undertake other obligations
consistent with the City’s Charter and Municipal Code, while deferring to the discretion
of the City Manager to choose the appropriate means to achieve the Council’s goals.
The City Council Office provides support to seven (7) elected City Council members
and serves as a liaison between the Council Members and the community, assisting
Packet Pg. 366

2
with inquiries and concerns received from the public. The Office also provides
administrative support that includes maintaining calendars and schedules, confirming
conferences and coordinating travel, and assisting councilmembers in their duties
serving on regional boards and in member organizations.
Mayor
The Mayor serves as the chief spokesperson for the City and is recognized as the head
of the City government for all ceremonial purposes. Additionally, the Mayor serves on
several regional boards and takes the lead in establishing and fostering relationships
in support of the City of San Bernardino’s vision and key strategic goals. The Office
also provides administrative support that includes maintaining calendars and
schedules, confirming conferences and coordinating travel, and assisting the Mayor in
their duties serving on regional boards and in member organizations.
Discussion
On January 18, 2023, the Mayor and City Council passed a motion during the regular
meeting directing staff to evaluate the appropriate staffing levels for the Office of the
Mayor and the Office of the City Council. To make these determinations, staff
examined the City of San Bernardino’s historical staffing levels proceeding the
adoption of the new City Charter on November 8, 2016, and compared them to current
staffing levels. Staff also considered the diverse and unique needs of the community
in preparing its recommendation, ensuring the proposed staffing levels would be
appropriate to meet the current needs of the public.
Currently, the Office of the City Council has two (2) funded support positions and the
Office of the Mayor has one (1) funded support position. This marks a reduction in
staffing for both offices compared to previous years. In the first two fiscal years
following the adoption of the new City Charter, the City of San Bernardino provided the
City Council with four (4) full-time support staff and the Mayor with three (3) full-time
support staff. To meet the current needs of the community, staff recommends restoring
staffing to their historic levels. The tables on the following page illustrate the current
and proposed staffing levels and include salary and benefits costs comparisons for the
remainder of fiscal year 2022-2023.

Waste Industries, Inc., and Finding the Action Exempt from the California
Environmental Quality Act.
Background
The City of San Bernardino (“City”) has an exclusive franchise agreement with
Burrtec Waste Industries, Inc. (“Burrtec”) to provide solid waste collection,
processing, and disposal services within the City. Recent changes to state law
relative to organic waste collection require modifications to the existing
Agreement. The proposed rate increases for solid waste services are necessary for
Burrtec to provide mandatory organic waste collection services pursuant to the SB
1383 Regulations.
On December 7, 2022, the Mayor and City Council approved Resolution No. 2022-
244 declaring the intention to conduct a Public Hearing on February 15, 2023, to
consider adjusting the Maximum Permitted Service Rates for integrated solid waste
collection, processing, and disposal services. Three rate options for solid waste rate
increases were proposed to the City Council to implement the SB 1383
requirements. The City Council selected Option 2, which was included in the
Proposition 218 Notice as the Maximum Permitted Service Rates to City of San
Bernardino customers. A copy of the Option 2 rates were attached as Exhibit A to
the draft Proposition 218 notice in the December 7, 2022, agenda packet.
Discussion
Proposition 218 Process
Public Notice of the proposed rate increase was sent to all property owners and
residents within the City’s service area 45 days prior to the Proposition 218 Public
Hearing.
Property owners and customers may protest the proposed adjustment in writing;
either in person at the public hearing or prior to City Clerk’s office mailing address,
as shown on the notice. Formal written protests must include:
1. The identified property owner or tenant is in opposition to the proposed rate
increase to the fees.
2. The location of the identified parcel.
3. The name and signature of the property owner or tenant submitting the
protest.
As of the date this staff report was published, the Public Works Department received
approximately 36 calls from customers. The calls generally focused on clarification
of the rate proposal, what the increase of rates were for, and requests for a Spanish
copy of the Proposition 218 Notice. To date, the City has received 25 formal protest
letters.

The current monthly residential rate for solid waste collection services is $26.42. In
2022, CPI rate adjustment was deferred and did not take effect on July 1, 2022, as
negotiations were in process between the City and Burrtec. The proposed maximum
permitted service rates will adjust the rate to $37.97 beginning July 1, 2023, as
indicated in the Prop 218 Notice. The adjustment to the rate will go toward the
implementation of the new organic waste programs the City is required to implement
in order to be compliant with the SB 1383 mandate.
SB 1383 Requirements
Proposed rate increases for Solid Waste Services are necessary for Burrtec to
provide mandatory organic waste collection services pursuant to the SB 1383
Regulations. Under the SB 1383 Regulations, collection will utilize a 3-container
system for residents which will allow for commingling green waste and food waste
in one bin, and 4-container system for commercial customers. Residents and
businesses must separate organic waste (such as yard waste and food waste) from
other trash to be managed at a facility other than a landfill. To accomplish this, all
property owners, residents, and businesses will be required to enroll in collection
services for trash, recyclables, and organic waste. Recycling services include
processing of recyclables and organic wastes collected from all customers at state-
regulated facilities. Other portions of the solid waste service rate include fees
charged to customers to provide inspections, enforcement, and oversight; maintain
infrastructure; provide education and outreach; meet the organic procurement
requirements, such as the acquisition of recovered compost and mulch; create an
edible food recovery program; and comply with state mandates relating to solid
waste service.
Third Amendment to the Franchise Agreement with Burrtec
Due to the SB 1383 mandate, the City is required to implement collection programs
for residential and commercial waste generators. Under the mandate, more services
will be required to implement a program that will keep the jurisdiction in compliance.
The amendment to the franchise agreement with Burrtec addresses SB 1383
requirements by:
•Providing food organics collection services to residential, multifamily, and
commercial customers;
•Providing education and outreach to customers on how to recycle organic
waste;
•Providing additional information if a customer is considered a Tier 1 or Tier 2
commercial edible food generators;
•Identification of Tier 1 commercial edible food generators to help in creation of
edible food recovery program;
•Implementing:
o Record keeping,
o Route reviews,
o Waste evaluations,
Packet Pg. 375

o Assistance with enforcement, and
o Assistance in the procurement requirements to meet the City’s recovered
organic waste requirements;
•Updating Liquidated Damages provisions to include penalties for failure to
comply with SB 1383 requirements; and
•5-Year Term Extension.
In order to provide the additional service required by state law, an increase in the
rates was proposed by Burrtec to fund the additional program. City staff met with
Burrtec to negotiate solid waste service rates to implement the SB 1383
Regulations. Per Section 21.1.3(c) of the franchise agreement, Burrtec may adjust
the Maximum Permitted Service Rates by an amount equal to the increase in costs
due to a change in law.
Based on the negotiations (option 2), SB 1383 rate increases will be phased in
beginning FY 2023-2024 (with no rate change in FY 2022-2023). There will be an
annual CPI rate adjustment with a 5% cap on the overall rate, except for organic
waste processing and disposal components related to SB 1383 requirements, which
will be passed through and charged at full cost without being subject to the cap. The
CPI adjustment will be calculated using the All Urban Consumers Index (CPI-U) as
published by the US Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Not
Seasonally Adjusted, All items, Riverside- San Bernardino- Ontario, CA. The
agreement will extend the term of the franchise agreement by five years to March
31, 2031.
Exempt from CEQA
The Resolution is not subject to the requirements of the California Environmental
Quality Act (“CEQA”). The approval of the Third Amendment it is not a “project”
within the meaning of 14 CCR Section 15378 (“State CEQA Guidelines”) because it
has no potential for resulting in direct or indirect physical change in the environment.
The charges are exempt from CEQA pursuant to California Public Resources Code
section 21080(b)(8) and State CEQA Guidelines section 15273(a) because such
charges are necessary and reasonable to fund the administration, operation,
maintenance, and improvements of the solid waste collection system.
2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
A Public Hearing to consider adjusting the Maximum Permitted Services Rates, as
well as the amendment of the Franchise agreement between the City and Burrtec
meets Key Target No. 3c: Improved quality of life by evaluating and enhancing the
quality of public safety services and Key Target No. 3d: To improve the City’s
appearance, cleanliness, and attractiveness.
Fiscal Impact
There is no direct expense to the General Fund. There is Fiscal impact to the City’s
General Fund from revenues received from the franchise fees. The SB 1383

organics processing and disposal costs for organic waste shall be passed on to
customers that will be subject to increased service rates.
Conclusion

the following actions:
1. Conduct a Public Hearing to receive public comment on the proposed rate
increases and Third Amendment to the City’s exclusive Franchise Agreement
for Integrated Solid Waste Collection, Processing and Disposal Services with
Burrtec Waste Industries, Inc.; and

containers with visible prohibited container contaminants. Contractor shall, at its sole
expense, either (1): conduct hauler route reviews each calendar year for prohibited
container contaminants in containers in a manner that is deemed safe by the Contractor,
is approved by the City, and is conducted in a manner that results in all hauler routes
being reviewed, in accordance with 14 CCR Section 18984.5(b) or (2) conduct waste
evaluations for prohibited container contaminants though sampling of materials from all

inspections and shall also include its plan for prioritizing the inspection of customers that
are more likely to be out of compliance. City shall review, comment on, and approve the
proposed methodology. Contractor may commence with the proposed methodology
upon approval. If the City notifies the Contractor that the methodology is inadequate to

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
PROPOSITION 218 NOTIFICATION
TO PROPERTY OWNERS AND CUSTOMERS TO CONSIDER
INCREASES TO SOLID WASTE SERVICE RATES
Si usted necesita una copia de esta carta en español, por favor llámenos al (909) 384-5140.
Notice is hereby given that the City of San Bernardino (“City”) will conduct a public hearing on February 15, 2023, at
7:00 p.m. at the Feldheym Central Library, 555 West 6th Street, San Bernardino, CA 92410 to consider adopting increases
to the rates for collection, processing, and disposal of solid waste within the City (collectively, “Solid Waste Services”).
The purpose of the public hearing is to consider all oral testimony and written protests to, and the adoption of, the
proposed rates. This 45-day notice is hereby given in accordance with Section 6(a) of Article XIII D of the California
Constitution.
Proposed Solid Waste Rates
Burrtec Waste Industries, Inc. (“Burrtec”) provides Solid Waste Services within the City pursuant to an exclusive franchise
agreement. Burrtec bills the customers directly for the services. Rates for Solid Waste Services are evaluated periodically
to maintain an adequate rate structure to fund the costs of providing Solid Waste Services to residents and commercial
businesses.
The rate structure for monthly Solid Waste Services has four customer classes: (i) mobile home, (ii) single-family, (iii) multi-
family dwelling, and (iv) commercial. The rates for Solid Waste Services imposed on each customer class are determined
on the basis of (i) the size of the container serving the property; (ii) the type of container (e.g., trash, recycling, or
green/organic waste) serving the property; and (iii) the frequency of pickups per week.
The proposed rate increases for Solid Waste Services are necessary for Burrtec to provide mandatory organic waste
collection services pursuant to regulations implementing Senate Bill 1383 (Chapter 395, Statutes of 2016). The proposed
rates are calculated to recover the costs of providing weekly organic waste collection services, outreach, education,
monitoring, reporting and container labeling to comply with the SB 1383 regulations, and to proportionately allocate those
costs on a parcel basis among various customer classes. The rates to be imposed are set forth in Exhibit A of this Notice.
Annual Adjustments
• CPI Adjustment: The proposed maximum rates for Solid Waste Services in Exhibit A account for inflation, subject
to a 5% cap on Maximum Permitted Service Rates. Beginning July 1, 2023, and each July 1 thereafter, through
and including July 1, 2027, the then-current Maximum Permitted Service Rates will be adjusted by the 12-month
annual average percentage change for the most recent calendar year, compared to the prior calendar year, in the
All Urban Consumers Index (CPI-U), Not Seasonally Adjusted, All Items, Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario, CA, as
published by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. If the CPI is less than 5% for any year, the
actual rates (not including organic waste processing and disposal pass-through fees) charged to customers will be
less than the rates in the schedule in Exhibit A.
• Organic Waste Processing & Disposal Pass-through Fees: The proposed maximum rates for Solid Waste Services
in Exhibit A shall be adjusted annually to account for processing and disposal fees for organic waste. Beginning
July 1, 2023, and each July 1 thereafter, through and including July 1, 2027, the actual processing and disposal
costs for organic waste shall be passed through to customers in the rates.
Packet Pg. 403
The entire schedule of proposed maximum permitted rates, including miscellaneous services, are included with this
notice and can be found at the City Clerk’s office (see address below), or on the City of San Bernardino website at
http://sbcity.org/swrates.
Public Hearing and Written Protest Process
Any property owner whose property is to be subject to the proposed increases to the rates for the Solid Waste Services
and any tenant directly responsible for the payment of such fees (i.e., a customer of record) may submit a written
protest to the proposed rate increases; provided, however, only one protest will be counted per identified parcel.
Written protests must include the following:
(1) State that the identified property owner or tenant is in opposition to the proposed rate increase to the fees;
(2) The location of the identified parcel (by assessor’s parcel number or street address); and
(3) The name and signature of the property owner or tenant submitting the protest.
If the person submitting the written protest is the owner of record but was not shown on San Bernardino County’s last
equalized assessment roll as the property owner, that person must provide written evidence that the person is the
property owner.
Written protests may be submitted by mail or in person to the City Clerk’s Office, provided they are received
prior 3 p.m. on February 15, 2023. Written protests may also be submitted to the City Clerk at the Public Hearing prior
to the close of the public comment portion of the Public Hearing. Written protests submitted via e-mail will not be
accepted. Please identify on the front of the envelope for any protest, whether mailed or submitted in person, Attn:
Solid Waste Rates.
Written protests may be submitted as follows:

for Solid Waste Services and the annual rate adjustments at the Public Hearing. Oral comments at the Public Hearing will
not qualify as formal protests unless accompanied by a written protest. Upon the conclusion of the Public Hearing, the
City Council will consider adoption of the rate increases to the Solid Waste Services and the annual rate adjustment s as
described herein. If written protests against the proposed Solid Waste Services and annual rate adjustments are not
presented by a majority of the property owners of the identified parcels upon which the rates are proposed to be imposed
and tenants directly responsible for the payment of the Solid Waste Services fees, the City Council will be authorized to
impose the Solid Waste Services and annual rate adjustments as outlined above. If adopted, the proposed rate increases
will take effect beginning July 1, 2023. The City is conducting this Proposition 218 majority protest proceeding out of an
abundance of caution and without conceding the applicability of Proposition 218 to Solid Waste Services.

Background
•Burrtec Waste Industries, Inc. is the City’s franchise solid waste hauler. The City and
Burrtec entered the 10- year agreement in 2016 to provide trash, recycling, and green
waste services to the jurisdiction. The current term expires March 21, 2026.
•The franchise agreement allows Burrtec to increase the service rates by Consumer Price
Index (CPI), not exceeding a 5% increase annually.
•This is a beneficial aspect for rate increases because the increase for overall service rates
based on the percentage of calculated inflation is capped.
•On December 7, 2022, the City Council considered three rate options and authorized the
issuance of the Proposition 218 Notice with Option 2.

•Moving Forward, the component of trash and regular recycling will continue to increase by

•CPI adjustment will be calculated using the All Urban Consumers Index (CPI-U) as published by the US
Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Not Seasonally Adjusted, All Items, Riverside – San Bernardino

Page 80 of 126
Franchise Agreement Term April 1, 2016— March 31, 2026
Packet Pg. 499
City of San Bernardino Exclusive Franchise Agreement for Integrated Solid Waste
Collection, Processing, and Disposal Services With Burrtec Waste Industries, Inc.
Section shall apply in order to obtain prompt and expeditious resolution of any and all
disputes arising out of this Agreement.
29.2 Reference of Dispute. Any dispute seeking damages and any dispute seeking
equitable relief, such as but not limited to specific enforcement of any provision hereof,
shall be heard and determined by a referee pursuant to California Code of Civil
Procedure §§ 638-645.1. The venue of any proceeding hereunder shall be in San
Bernardino County, California.
29.2.1 Procedure for Appointment. The party seeking to resolve the dispute
shall file in court and serve on the other party a complaint describing the matters
in dispute. Service of the complaint shall be as prescribed by law. Within not
more than fifteen business days after the date of service, the parties shall apply
to the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Service ("JAMS") of San Bernardino
County to nominate a minimum of five prospective referees. If the parties are
unable to approve a referee from the JAMS panel within ten business days after
written request to do so by any party, then the parties, starting with City, shall
alternate in striking one prospective referee at a time until only one referee
remains.
29.2.2 Ex Parte Communications Prohibited. Neither party may communicate
separately with the referee after the referee has been selected. All subsequent
communications between a party and a referee shall be delivered simultaneously
to the other party. This provision shall not apply to communications made to
schedule a hearing or request a continuance or to confidential mediation or
settlement briefs that the parties have agreed to submit to the referee.
29.2.3 Cooperation. The parties shall cooperate diligently with one another and
the referee and shall perform such acts as may be necessary to obtain a prompt
and expeditious resolution of the dispute. If either party refuses to cooperate
diligently, and the other party, after first giving notice of its intent to rely on the
provisions of this Section 29, incurs additional expenses or attorneys' fees solely
as a result of such failure to diligently cooperate, or incurs expenses or attorney's
fees and costs as a result of the other party's violation of Code of Civil Procedure
128.5, the referee may award such additional expenses and attorneys' fee to
the party giving such notice, even if such party is not the prevailing party in the
dispute.
29.2.4 Discovery. The referee shall set a discovery schedule and shall schedule
the matter for hearing within 60 days of filing, unless City and Contractor agree
otherwise, or unless the referee shall determine otherwise. Any party to the
hearing may issue a request to compel reasonable document production from the

Packet Pg. 500
City of San Bernardino Exclusive Franchise Agreement for Integrated Solid Waste

other party, subject to the limitations of Section 22, limiting evidence to the
administrative record. Disputes concerning the scope of document production
and enforcement of document requests shall be subject to agreement by the
parties, or if agreement is not reached within twenty (20) days of a document
request, then by disposition by order of the referee. Any document request shall
be subject to the proprietary rights and rights of privilege of the parties, and the
referee shall adopt procedures to protect such rights. Except as may be agreed
by the parties, or ordered by the referee, no other form of discovery shall be
available to the parties.
29.2.5 Standards for Decision. The provisions of California Code of Civil
Procedure, §§ 640, 641, 642, 643, 644 and 645 shall be applicable to dispute
resolution by a referee hereunder. In an effort to clarify and amplify the provisions
of California Code of Civil Procedure, §§ 644 and 645, the parties agree that the
referee shall decide issues of fact and law submitted by the parties for decision in
the same manner as required for a trial by court as set forth in California Code of
Civil Procedure, §§ 631.8 and 632, and California Rules of Court, Rule 232. The
referee shall try and decide the dispute according to all of the substantive and
procedural law of the state of California, unless the parties stipulate to the
contrary.
29.2.6 Evidence and Findings. The referee shall consider the administrative
record, including the Notice of Deficiencies, Contractor's response to the Notice
of Deficiencies, the decision of the City Representative, the Notice of Appeal, the
decision of the City Manager, the Notice of Appeal to the City Council, and the
decision of the City Council, in addition to other relevant evidence. Before issuing
findings, the Referee shall submit a proposed ruling, setting forth proposed
findings of fact and conclusions of law, to counsel for the Parties, for comment.
When the referee has decided the dispute, the referee shall also cause the
preparation of a judgment based on said decision.
29.2.7 Remedial Authority. A referee to whom a matter is referred shall have the
authority to (i) order either party to undertake remedial action to cure the breach
and to prevent occurrence of similar breaches in the future; (ii) assess damages
and/or levy a penalty consistent with the terms of this Agreement or(iii)find there
has been no breach.
29.2.8 Stay Pending Entry of Final Judgment. Except as provided in Section
26.3 with respect to draws on a Performance Bond, until final judgment is
entered from the referee proceeding under the foregoing provisions and the time
for appeal or other post judgment petition has expired, the imposition or
enforcement of any penalties or sanctions provided in this Agreement and related
Page 82 of 126
Franchise Agreement Term April 1, 2016—March 31, 2026
Packet Pg. 501
City of San Bernardino Exclusive Franchise Agreement for Integrated Solid Waste
Collection, Processing, and Disposal Services With Burrtec Waste Industries, Inc.
to the subject matter of the hearing shall be stayed. The referee may modify or
cancel any proposed penalties or sanctions upon a finding that the party subject
thereto acted with substantial justification, or if the interests of justice so require.
29.2.9 Allocation of Referee's Costs. The referee's costs for the proceeding
shall be apportioned by the referee. The costs of the proceeding shall be borne
equally by the parties to the dispute initially, but the prevailing party in such
proceeding shall be entitled to recover reasonable costs of the referee as
apportioned by the referee. If either party refuses to pay its share of the costs of
the proceeding, at the time(s) required, the other party may do so, in which event
that party will be entitled to recover(or offset)the amount advanced, with interest
at the maximum rate permitted by law, even if that party is not the prevailing
party. The referee shall include such costs in the judgment or award.
29.3 Decision. The decision of the referee may be excepted to in accordance with
Code of Civil Procedure § 645.
Section 30. City's Additional Remedies
In addition to the remedies set forth above. City shall have the following rights:
30.1 Contracts with Others. The right to contract with others to perform the services
otherwise to be performed by Contractor, in the event Contractor should be in material
breach of its duties to provide those services, or is otherwise unable to provide the
services addressed by this Agreement.
30.2 Damages and/or Injunctive Relief. Both parties recognize and agree that in
the event of a breach under the terms of this Agreement by Contractor, City may suffer
irreparable injury and incalculable damages sufficient to support injunctive relief to
enforce the provisions of this Agreement and to enjoin the breach.
30.3 City's Damages for Failure to Achieve Diversion Requirements. Contractor
agrees that its failure to achieve the diversion requirements set forth in Section 5, arising
from failure to make reasonable efforts to maximize diversion in accordance with the
terms and conditions of this Agreement, or its breach of the requirements of Section
5.1.1 related to waste diversion, shall be a material breach of this Agreement. If
CalRecycle, or its successor agency, were to impose administrative civil penalties
against City, then the City's damages for Contractor's material breach in its failure to
achieve the diversion goals for the City as required by this Agreement, shall include, but
not be limited to such administrative civil penalties, attorneys' costs and fees and City's
staff time devoted to the resolution of the administrative civil penalties against City.

City of San Bernardino Exclusive Franchise Agreement for Integrated Solid Waste
Collection, Processing, and Disposal Services With Burrtec Waste Industries, Inc.
30.4 Liquidated Damages. The parties further acknowledge that consistent and
reliable collection service is of utmost importance to City and that City has considered
and relied on Contractor's representations as to its quality of service commitment in
awarding the Agreement to it. The parties further recognize that some quantified
standards of performance are necessary and appropriate to ensure consistent and
reliable service and performance. The parties further recognize that if Contractor fails to
achieve the performance standards, or fails to submit required documents in a timely
manner, City, and City's residents and businesses will suffer damages and that it is and
will be impractical and extremely difficult to ascertain and determine the exact amount of
damages. Therefore, in addition to City's right to treat such non-performance as a
breach of this Agreement, the parties agree that the liquidated damages amount defined
in this Section may represent reasonable estimates of the amount of such damages
considering all of the circumstances existing on the effective date of this Agreement,
including the relationship of the sums to the range of harm to City, customers and the
community as a whole that reasonably could be anticipated and the anticipation that
proof of actual damages would be costly or impractical. In placing their initials at the
places provided, each party specifically confirms the accuracy of the statements made
above and the fact that each party has had ample opportunity to consult with legal
counsel and obtain an explanation of the liquidated damage provisions at the time that
the Agreement was made.
30.5 Procedure for Review of Liquidated Damages. If the City elects not to
terminate this Agreement for breach, the City Representative may assess liquidated
damages pursuant to this Section on a monthly basis. At the end of each month during
the term of this Agreement, the City Representative shall issue a written notice to
Contractor ("Notice of Assessment") of the liquidated damages assessed and the basis
for each assessment.
30.5.1 The assessment shall become final unless, within ten (10) calendar days
of the date of the notice of assessment, Contractor provides a written request for
a meeting with the City Manager to present evidence that the assessment should
not be made.
30.5.2 The City Representative shall schedule a meeting between Contractor
and the City Manager or the Manager's designee as soon as reasonably possible
after timely receipt of Contractor's request.
30.5.3 The City Manager or the Manager's designee shall review Contractor's
evidence and render a decision sustaining or reversing the liquidated damages
as soon as reasonably possible after the meeting. Written notice of the decision
shall be provided to Contractor.

30.5.4 In the event Contractor does not submit a written request for a meeting
within ten (10) calendar days of the date of the Notice of Assessment, the City
Representative's determination shall be final and Contractor shall submit
payment to City no later than that tenth (10th) day
30.5.5 City's assessment or collection of liquidated damages shall not prevent
City from exercising any other right or remedy, including the right to terminate
this Agreement, for Contractor's failure to perform the work and services in the
manner set forth in this Agreement.

Public Hearing
City of San Bernardino
Request for Council Action
Date: February 15, 2023
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Charles E. McNeely, Interim City Manager;
Nathan Freeman, Agency Director of Community, Housing, and
Economic Development
Subject: Resolution Approving Street Vacation of a Portion of E Drake
Drive between E Central Avenue and E Mill Street, and West of
S Foisy Street and Reservation of Utilities Therein (Ward 3)
Recommendation
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino,
California, adopt Resolution No. 2023-003 of the Mayor and City Council of the City of
San Bernardino, California, approving the vacation of a portion of E Drake Drive between
E Central Avenue and E Mill Street, and West of S Foisy Street and reservation of utilities
therein.
Background
Streets and Highways Code (SHC) section 8312, gives a city legislative body the power
to vacate all or part of an alley and sets forth the procedures by which the power to vacate
may be executed. The requested street vacation would be conducted under the General
Vacation Procedures outlined in SHC sections 8320 through 8325. First, a legislative
body may initiate proceedings either on its own initiative or upon a petition or request of
an interested person or persons. The initiation of proceedings starts with fixing the date,
hour, and place of the hearing, followed by publishing and posting of notices prior to the
hearing. After the hearing, if the legislative body finds that the street described in the
notice of hearing or petition is unnecessary for present or prospective public use, the
legislative body may adopt a resolution vacating the street. The street vacation is then
recorded with the County Recorder’s office.
A petition to vacate a portion of E Drake Drive was received on June 16, 2022, from Plehn
Family, LLC. The stated reason for the petition to vacate this portion of E Drake Drive is
to accommodate a new industrial development.
On September 21, 2022, the Mayor and City Council authorized staff to proceed with an
investigation and analysis, as required by SHC, to vacate the street. On October 27, 2022,
notices were sent out to City Departments, San Bernardino County Fire, utility providers,
including the Water Department, and residents within one thousand feet (1000’) of the
property informing them of the proposed street vacation. Staff has received requests from
Packet Pg. 559
Frontier Communications and Southern California Edison to reserve established utility
easements and has received no additional responses from utilities or residential
stakeholders.
On December 7, 2022, the Mayor and City Council authorized staff to proceed with the
public hearing and set the date and time for February 15, 2023, at 7:00PM which will be
held in the Bing Wong Auditorium of the Norman F. Feldheym Public Library located at
555 West 6th Street, San Bernardino, California 92410.
On January 10, 2023, The Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 2023-001PC,
finding that the proposed street vacation of E Drake Drive between E Central Avenue and
E Mill Street, and West of S Foisy Street, conforms with the City’s General Plan.
Discussion
Following the public hearing, staff will present, for the Mayor and City Council’s
Consideration, a Resolution Ordering the Real Property Street Vacation 15-30-438, with
reservation of utility easements therein, adopting a Categorical Exemption for the street
vacation, and make a final order of vacation for the street as described in the Real
Property Street Vacation.
The property vacation proceedings are not completed until the Resolution making the
final order for Real Property Street Vacation 15.30-438 has been recorded with the San
Bernardino County Recorder’s office pursuant to SHC section 8325. Pursuant to SHC
section 8324, the resolution of vacation may provide that the vacation occurs only after
conditions required by the legislative body have been satisfied and may instruct the
clerk that the resolution of vacation is not recorded until the conditions have been
satisfied.
2021-2025 Key Strategic Targets and Goals
This project is consistent with Key Target No. 2d: Develop and implement a community
engagement plan. Public Hearings conducted in response to requests for street vacations
provide an opportunity for surrounding property owners and members of the public to
engage with the Mayor and City Council, provide input through public comments, and
share in the discussion regarding vacating the public right of way.
Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact associated with this action. The applicant has paid $2,040 in
fees.
Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino,
California, adopt Resolution No. 2023-003 of the Mayor and City Council of the City of
San Bernardino, California, approving the vacation of a portion of E Drake Drive between
E Central Avenue and E Mill Street, and West of S Foisy Street and reservation of utilities
therein.
