AND AUTHORIZE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE AMENDMENT 41 TO THE AGREEMENT WITH THE SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT.

I JUST WANT TO SAY JUST SOMETHING REALLY FAST.

OUR SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE BETTER DEPARTMENTS IN CALIFORNIA.

ALL RIGHT. TRUE VALUE.

MOTION PASSES FIVE ZERO.

ALL RIGHT. MOVING ON TO DISCUSSION CALENDAR.

[11. Provide input and comments to City Manager regarding proposed adjustment to residential waste collection routes]

THIS ITEM IS TO PROVIDE INPUT AND COMMENTS TO THE CITY MANAGER REGARDING PROPOSED ADJUSTMENTS TO THE RESIDENTIAL WASTE COLLECTION ROUTES.

AND THIS IS GOING TO BE PRESENTED BY SENIOR MANAGEMENT ANALYST SHAKER.

GOOD EVENING, HONORABLE MAYOR, VICE MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS. I AM HERE TO PRESENT THE RESIDENTIAL WASTE COLLECTION ROUTE ADJUSTMENT PROPOSED BY WASTE MANAGEMENT THIS EVENING. OH, SORRY.

SO WASTE MANAGEMENT, AS YOU KNOW, STARTED TRASH SERVICES IN THE CITY ON JULY 1ST, 2022. SO AT THAT TIME THEY ASSUMED THE EXISTING COLLECTION ROUTES FROM THE PREVIOUS SOLID WASTE HAULER, REPUBLIC SERVICES OVER THE COURSE OF THE LAST THREE YEARS, WASTE MANAGEMENT HAS IDENTIFIED INEFFICIENCIES WITH THE EXISTING ROUTES AND HAS PROPOSED AN ADJUSTMENT TO RESIDENTIAL ROUTES TO BALANCE THE ROUTES AND PROVIDE MORE EFFICIENT COLLECTION CITYWIDE.

CURRENTLY, THE ROUTES ARE NOT GEOGRAPHICALLY CLUSTERED, WHICH RESULTS IN REDUNDANT VISITS TO IN THE SAME COMMUNITIES AND LONGER SERVICE HOURS.

ADDITIONALLY, THE ROUTES ON MONDAYS AND FRIDAYS ARE THE HEAVIEST SERVICE DAYS, WHICH CAN CAUSE DELAYED PICKUPS.

THOSE ARE SOME OF THE ISSUES, SO SOME OF THE BENEFITS TO THE ROUTE ADJUSTMENT TO OUR CUSTOMERS OVERALL INCLUDE IMPROVED CUSTOMER SERVICE BY PROVIDING MORE PREDICTABLE SERVICE TIMES AND INCREASE RELIABILITY.

THIS IS DONE BY OPTIMIZING ROUTES AND BALANCING PICKUPS ACROSS THE WEEK.

CUSTOMERS SHOULD SEE TRUCKS ARRIVE WITHIN CONSISTENT TIME WINDOWS AND REDUCE THE NUMBER OF MISSED OR DELAYED COLLECTIONS.

ANOTHER BENEFIT WILL BE REDUCING DUPLICATE TRUCK VISITS TO THE SAME AREAS, WHICH WILL CUT DOWN ON THE WEAR AND TEAR ON OUR STREETS.

FUEL, USE TRAVEL TIMES AND MAKE OPERATIONS CLEANER AND MORE EFFICIENT.

SUSAN. QUICK QUESTION.

SO REDUCING DUPLICATE TRUCK VISITS, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? SO THE WAY IT'S STRUCTURED RIGHT NOW, FROM MY UNDERSTANDING, IS THERE'S, LET'S SAY ONE COMMUNITY LIKE LOS SERRANOS IS SERVICED ON TWO DAYS A WEEK AND 2 TO 3 DAYS A WEEK TO CERTAIN AREAS LIKE LAKE LOS SERRANOS MOBILE HOME PARK, WHICH I'LL HIGHLIGHT IS ONE OF THE CHANGES.

SO WE'RE MOVING THAT SO THAT THOSE TRUCKS DON'T HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE SAME AREA OF THE, OF THE CITY MULTIPLE TIMES IN THE SAME WEEK.

AND IT CAN BE DONE ON A TIGHTER SERVICE TIME WITHIN A DAY OR TWO.

OKAY. WELL, YOU HAVE A MAP OF IT.

WELL, I DO HAVE MAPS OF WHAT IT'S GOING TO LOOK LIKE WITH THE CHANGE.

OKAY. SO WASTE MANAGEMENT IS HERE.

THEY MIGHT BE ABLE TO SPEAK TO MORE DETAIL AS FAR AS WHAT'S CHANGING WHAT HOW IT IS NOW AND WHAT IT'S CHANGING TO, BECAUSE I'M JUST WONDERING AND JUST LIKE IF WE HAVE THREE BARRELS AND YOU'RE GOING TO NEED A TRUCK TO MAKE THREE DIFFERENT TRIPS.

SO HOW DOES THIS RELATE TO THE SAME STREET BUT TO THE SAME NEIGHBORHOOD, I GUESS, OR TO THE SAME AREA OF THE CITY, IF THAT MAKES SENSE.

SO LIKE THE SOUTHERN PARTS.

OKAY. WELL, MAYBE WE CAN CIRCLE.

WE'LL LOOK AT THE MAPS GOING FORWARD. NO WORRIES.

SORRY. CONTINUE. NO WORRIES.

SO AS MENTIONED, MONDAYS AND FRIDAYS ARE CURRENTLY THE HIGHEST VOLUME DAYS.

AND MONDAYS TYPICALLY HAVE THE HIGHEST NUMBER OF DRIVER CALLOUTS WHICH, WHICH CAN RESULT IN LONGER SERVICE HOURS.

AND REBALANCING THE ROUTES WILL EASE PRESSURE ON MONDAYS.

AND ADJUSTMENTS TO FRIDAYS ARE BEING MADE TO ACCOMMODATE FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT, PARTICULARLY IN THE SOUTHERN PART OF THE CITY.

SO THE TOTAL NUMBER OF CURRENT RESIDENTIAL CUSTOMERS IS ABOUT 20,122 AND ABOUT 24%, OR 4879 CUSTOMERS, WILL HAVE A NEW SERVICE DAY.

THE SERVICE DAY CHANGES WILL BE EFFECTIVE THE FIRST WEEK OF DECEMBER.

ON DECEMBER 1ST, AND WASTE MANAGEMENT HAS COMMITTED TO PROVIDING PICKUPS FOR THREE WEEKS FOLLOWING THE SERVICE DAY CHANGE FOR CUSTOMERS WHO FORGET TO SET OUT THEIR CARTS OUT DURING THE FIRST FEW WEEKS FOLLOWING THE CHANGE. SO I WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT A FEW KEY

[00:15:01]

NEIGHBORHOOD CHANGES, BUT PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE ALL CHANGES. CARBON CANYON IS MOVING FROM WEDNESDAY TO MONDAY, EXCEPT FOR SLEEPY HOLLOW AREA, WHICH WILL STAY ON WEDNESDAYS.

LAKE LOS SERRANOS MOBILE HOME PARK IS MOVING FROM TUESDAY TO WEDNESDAY.

FAIRFIELD RANCH IS MOVING FROM FRIDAY TO THURSDAY, AND AS YOU MAY KNOW OR YOU MAY HAVE HEARD, THIS DID IMPACT THEIR CURRENT STREET SWEEPING DAY, WHICH WAS ON THURSDAY.

AND WASTE MANAGEMENT HAS WORKED WITH THE PROPERTY MANAGEMENT COMPANY AND CONFIRMED THAT FAIRFIELD RANCH WILL SHIFT ITS STREET SWEEPING DAY FROM THURSDAY TO FRIDAY TO ACCOMMODATE THE NEW TRASH DAY.

ADDITIONALLY, WASTE MANAGEMENT WILL COVER THE COST OF THE NEW STREET SWEEPING SIGNAGE IN THAT COMMUNITY. SO NOW WE'RE GOING TO GET INTO THE MAPS.

SO THE MONDAY THIS IS A MAP OF THE NEW MONDAY SERVICE AREA.

SO CURRENTLY MONDAY HAS 4421 STOPS.

AS I SAID IT'S ONE OF THE HEAVIER DAYS.

AND THIS WILL BE REDUCED TO 3505 STOPS.

SO WHAT ACCOUNTS FOR THAT MANY.

THERE ARE 900 AND SOME ODD STOPS THAT ARE BEING REDUCED.

SO A LOT OF THE SHIFT IS GOING FROM MONDAY IS GOING TO BE SORRY, I DON'T RECALL OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD OF THE BIG NEIGHBORHOOD THAT'S MOVING.

I CAN'T ANSWER THAT JUST TO BALANCE IT OUT DURING THE WEEK.

RIGHT. SO IT'S LIKE TO BE HAPPY ON MONDAY AND FRIDAY.

IT'S GOING TO BE EVEN ACROSS ACROSS THE BOARD.

YES. AND THAT IS THE GOAL.

WE HAVE WASTE MANAGEMENT HERE. THEY ARE HERE WHICH SHOULD THEY MIGHT BE ABLE TO SPEAK TO IF YOU WANTED TO ASK. NOW MAYOR AND COUNCIL, AS YOU MAY KNOW, SUSAN IS THE STAFF REPRESENTATIVE FOR INTERACTING WITH WASTE MANAGEMENT.

I ASKED HER TO GIVE THE OVERALL PICTURE OF WHAT'S GOING ON, BUT WE DO HAVE WASTE MANAGEMENT HERE, AND I'D LIKE TO DELVE INTO THOSE SPECIFICS.

MAYBE BY GOING BACK TO KEY SLIDES AND WALKING THROUGH IT.

THERE ARE A LOT OF MOVING PARTS, AND THAT'S THE REASON WE BROUGHT IT BEFORE THE COUNCIL. WE'VE LOOKED AT IT, BUT WE ALWAYS WANT TO HEAR YOUR PERSPECTIVE.

YOU MAY HAVE INTERACTED WITH RESIDENTS, YOU MAY BE FAMILIAR WITH CONCERNS OR THOUGHTS ABOUT THE ROOTS, ABOUT THE SERVICE THAT WE DON'T ALWAYS HEAR DIRECTLY AS STAFF.

SORRY, SUSAN. CONTINUE.

NOT AT ALL. SO THIS IS LIKE I SAID, THIS IS WHAT THE MONDAYS ARE GOING TO LOOK LIKE. AND SOME OF THE BOUNDARIES IN THE NORTH ARE THE RANCHO HILLS DRIVE.

SO THIS IS WITHIN THE BOUNDARIES IS RANCHO HILLS DRIVE ON THE NORTH SOUTH OF CARBON CANYON AT RAINBOW RIDGE AND PINNACLE DRIVE ON THE SOUTH.

PEYTON DRIVE ON THE EAST AND NORTH OF CARBON CANYON AT VIEW DRIVE ON THE WEST.

SO FOR TUESDAYS CURRENTLY, TUESDAY HAS 3436 STOPS.

AND THIS WILL BE INCREASED ACTUALLY TO 4297.

SO IT'S ABSORBING SOME OF THOSE CHANGES.

THE BOUNDARIES ARE SOUTH OF THE 60 FREEWAY AT SCENIC RIDGE DRIVE ON THE NORTH SOUTH OF GRAND AVENUE ON THE SOUTH AND EAST OF THE 71 NORTH FREEWAY AT GRAND AVENUE AND WEST OF CHINO HILLS PARKWAY AT PLEASANT HILL DRIVE ON THE WEST.

SO ON WEDNESDAYS CURRENTLY HAS 3471 STOPS, AND THIS WILL BE INCREASED TO 4264.

AND THE BOUNDARIES ARE EUCALYPTUS AVENUE BETWEEN PIPELINE AND PEYTON ON THE NORTH MILANO TERRACE, WHICH IS IN THE SOUTHERN SECTION OF MILANO ON THE SOUTH PIPELINE AVENUE BETWEEN EUCALYPTUS AND WOODVIEW ON THE EAST, AND KATINA DRIVE, WHICH IS THE WESTERN SECTION OF MILANO ON THE WEST.

SO FOR THURSDAY CURRENTLY HAS 4252 STOPS.

AND THIS WILL DECREASE SLIGHTLY, VERY MINIMALLY TO 4239.

AND THE BOUNDARIES ARE CHINO HILLS PARKWAY ON THE EAST OF THE 71 FREEWAY VILLAGE DRIVE NORTH AND WEST SIDE OF THE 71 FREEWAY STONE MOUNTAIN DRIVE, SOUTH OF SOQUEL CANYON ON THE SOUTH DANBURY ROAD, EAST OF THE 71 ON THE EAST AND PIPELINE AVENUE, NORTH OF SOQUEL CANYON AND GOLDEN TERRACE LANE ON THE WEST.

FRIDAY IS ANOTHER DAY THAT'S GOING TO BE DECREASED SIGNIFICANTLY.

SO FRIDAY CURRENTLY HAS 5000 4542 STOPS, AND THIS WILL DECREASE TO 3717.

THE BOUNDARIES ARE SOUTH OF SOQUEL CANYON PARKWAY ON THE NORTH STONE MOUNTAIN DRIVE, SOUTH OF SOQUEL CANYON PARKWAY ON THE SOUTH DANBURY ROAD EAST OF 71 ON THE EAST AND PIPELINE AVENUE, NORTH OF SOQUEL CANYON AND GOLDEN TERRACE LANE ON THE SOUTH OF SOQUEL CANYON. SO AFFECTED CUSTOMERS WILL BE NOTIFIED AT LEAST 30 DAYS IN ADVANCE THROUGH

[00:20:01]

MULTIPLE CHANNELS, INCLUDING DIRECT OUTREACH MAILERS, LETTERS, POSTCARDS. CUSTOMERS WHO'VE SELECTED EMAIL ALERTS WILL ALSO RECEIVE EMAILS.

THEY'LL GET SERVICE ALERTS.

CUSTOMERS WILL ALSO RECEIVE OUTBOUND PHONE CALLS NOTIFYING THEM OF THE CHANGE, AND THEY WILL. WASTE MANAGEMENT IS GOING TO ALSO BE PROVIDING A CUSTOMER LOOKUP TOOL THAT THE CITY WILL SHARE ON OUR OWN WEBSITE, WHERE RESIDENTS CAN GO AND INPUT THEIR ADDRESS TO SEE IF THEY'RE IMPACTED BY THIS CHANGE.

SO THE RECOMMENDATION TONIGHT IS TO LET TO FOR COUNCIL TO PROVIDE INPUT AND COMMENTS TO THE CITY MANAGER FOR CONSIDERATION.

THIS CHANGE TO ROUTE COLLECTION SCHEDULED IS ALLOWED UNDER SECTION 4.7.12 OF THE SOLID WASTE FRANCHISE AGREEMENT, WHICH DOES ALLOW FOR REVISION OF COLLECTION SCHEDULES AND ROUTE MAPS WITH APPROPRIATE NOTIFICATION AND APPROVAL BY THE CITY WHILE CITY APPROVAL IS REQUIRED.

THE AGREEMENT ALSO NOTES THAT SUCH APPROVAL SHALL NOT BE UNREASONABLY WITHHELD.

AND THAT'S WHY, AT THIS POINT, WE'RE ASKING YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS AND INPUT INTO THIS WHOLE PROCESS.

SO THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.

BUT AS I MENTIONED, WASTE MANAGEMENT IS HERE TO ANSWER MORE DETAILED QUESTIONS OF THE OPERATIONAL CHANGES THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE, IF YOU WOULD LIKE OR WHATEVER QUESTIONS.

CAN I MAKE A COMMENT FIRST? I'D LIKE TO KIND OF SUMMARIZE THIS AND WHY WE'RE DOING THIS RIGHT NOW FOR WHEN WASTE MANAGEMENT TOOK OVER FROM REPUBLIC.

REPUBLIC ONLY HAD TWO BINS.

THEN THE STATE ABOUT THE SAME TIME THAT WASTE MANAGEMENT TOOK OVER, THE STATE MANDATED THAT WE HAVE THREE TRASH BINS THAT WE NOW HAVE THE GREEN WASTE, WE HAVE RECYCLING, WE HAVE REGULAR GARBAGE.

ALL RIGHT. WHEN WASTE MANAGEMENT TOOK OVER, THEY JUST FIRST TO MAKE IT EASIER ON EVERYBODY DURING THE TRANSITION, THEY WENT AHEAD AND JUST KEPT THE SAME ROUTES AS REPUBLIC. WELL, WHAT'S HAPPENED IS WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT PEOPLE SAYING, OKAY, WE'VE GOT A PROBLEM WITH GREEN WASTE ISN'T GETTING PICKED UP UNTIL, YOU KNOW, MAYBE FIVE, 06:00 IN THE EVENING OR MAYBE THE NEXT DAY.

AND WITH ALL OF THIS, THESE ISSUES THAT WERE COMING UP, IT WAS DETERMINED BY WASTE MANAGEMENT THAT THEY NEEDED TO KIND OF TAKE A STEP BACK, TAKE ANOTHER LOOK TO HELP FACILITATE MORE EFFECTIVE PICKUP OF THE TRASH TO TRY AND MINIMIZE THAT THEY HAVE GONE THROUGH THE LOGISTICS.

NOT ONLY DO THEY HAVE THE TRASH TO CONCERN THEMSELVES WITH, BUT WE HAVE STREET SWEEPING, AND STREET SWEEPING HAS ITS DEFINED DAYS.

SO WHAT THEY HAVE DONE IS PUT FORTH A LOT OF EFFORT TO TRY AND MINIMIZE THE NUMBER OF ROUTE CHANGES. I THINK IT'S ONLY LIMITED TO TWO COUNCIL DISTRICTS, AND WE CAN GET THEM TO CONFIRM THAT FOR US.

BUT TO CHANGE THE DISTRICT OR CHANGE THE ROUTING ENOUGH TO WHERE WE CAN NOW GET MORE COHESIVE PICKUP AND LESS TRIPS ON THE ROAD.

AS FAR AS TRUCKS, BEFORE, WHEN REPUBLIC WAS WITH US, THEY WERE IN ANAHEIM. THEY SENT OUT THEIR WHOLE FLEET OF TRUCKS OUT HERE TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY COULD ACCOMMODATE PICKUPS IN ONE DAY, AND THEY ONLY HAD TWO BINS.

NOW WE HAVE WASTE MANAGEMENT, WHICH IS OVER IN CHINO.

I THINK GENERALLY WE'VE HEARD GREAT COMMENTS ABOUT THE COVERAGE AND THE SERVICE THAT WE'VE BEEN GETTING, THE ONE I.

THE ONE ISSUE HAS BEEN THAT WHAT HAPPENS ABOUT THAT THIRD BIN THAT DOESN'T GET PICKED UP UNTIL LATE IN THE AFTERNOON.

SO HAVING SAID THAT, THAT'S THE BASICS OF WHY THIS HAPPENED.

NOW I'LL ENTERTAIN IF ANYBODY HAS QUESTIONS.

AND IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION THAT WASTE MANAGEMENT WOULD BE BETTER TO IT.

WHY DON'T YOU COME ON UP AND WE'LL LET YOU BE AT THE PODIUM.

THESE QUESTIONS ARE GOING TO BE FOR WASTE MANAGEMENT OR STAFF. ANYBODY HAVE? SURE. IT'S JUST A COUPLE OF OBSERVATIONS AND OKAY. LET'S MAKE THE OBSERVATIONS THAT FIRST AND THEN WE'LL SEE WHO NEEDS TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

I JUST SORRY FOR THAT.

OKAY. SO I JUST HAD TWO ITEMS. SO THE FIRST ONE THE THIS PROPOSED CHANGE IS GOING TO TAKE EFFECT THE FIRST WEEK OF DECEMBER IN 2025.

BEN. AND THERE ARE SO MANY MOVING PARTS IN DECEMBER BECAUSE WE GIVE LEAD WAY TO TICKETS FOR STREET SWEEPING. THE SCHEDULES ARE DIFFERENT. PEOPLE ARE VISITING. I DON'T SEE WHY WE CAN'T JUST START IT IN JANUARY OF 2026.

IF THAT'S THE ROUTE. IF IF WE CHOOSE TO GO THROUGH WITH THIS.

I WOULD SAY THAT DECEMBER IS LIKE PROBABLY THE WORST MONTH TO START IT.

OKAY. EVERYONE'S CRAZY WILLY NILLY.

NEIGHBORS VISITING HAVE VISITORS.

SO THAT'S MY FEEDBACK IS I DON'T THINK IT SHOULD START IN DECEMBER.

I THINK THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION FOR WASTE MANAGEMENT TO RESPOND TO.

WHY? BECAUSE I THINK THEY'RE THEY'RE ALSO AWARE OF THE COMPLEXITIES OF THE PICKUP.

SO I'M GOING TO ASK SUSAN TO STEP OFF TO THE SIDE.

AND IF I CAN BRING THE WASTE MANAGEMENT TEAM UP, I THINK WE'LL KIND OF NAVIGATE SEVERAL OF THE QUESTIONS.

BUT THAT'S A PERFECT FIRST ONE, AND THERE COULD BE REASON FOR IT.

BUT THAT'S JUST MY INITIAL THING WHEN I SAW IT STARTING IN DECEMBER.

AND THEN THE SECOND ONE WHEN WE LOOK AT THE MAPS, THE MAPS ARE GREAT, BUT WE, WE KIND OF DON'T LIKE ZONE IN ON LIKE WHERE IT STOPS AND STARTS, WHICH IS FINE, BUT I WOULD HOPE THAT WHEN THESE NEW PROPOSED

[00:25:05]

AREAS HAVE BEEN VETTED, THAT WE DO CLEAN BREAKS WITHIN NEIGHBORHOODS.

SO FOR INSTANCE, I LIVE IN HUNTERS HILL.

LIKE I WOULD HOPE THAT LIKE TWO STREETS OVER WITHIN HUNTERS HILL, IT'S NOT ON A DIFFERENT SCHEDULE, SO I WOULD HOPE AS REASONABLY AS POSSIBLE, WE COULD KEEP THE SCHEDULES CONSISTENT WITHIN A NEIGHBORHOOD SO EVERYONE'S ON THE SAME SCHEDULE. AND TO AVOID EVEN MORE CONFUSION.

SO THOSE ARE THE ONLY TWO THINGS I HAD.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? SO THAT.

ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS BEFORE WASTE MANAGEMENT DISCUSS.

YOU'VE GOT A COUPLE QUESTIONS THAT YOU CAN DISCUSS.

IF I FORGET ONE, PLEASE REMIND ME.

WELL THANK YOU, MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF COUNCIL, CITY COUNCIL AND THE COMMUNITY FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO TALK ABOUT THIS PROPOSED DAY CHANGE. SO KIND OF GOING BACK TO THE MOST RECENT QUESTION THAT I'M THINKING IN MY HEAD.

YES. SO THE THE GOAL IS TO UNIFY NEIGHBORHOODS BECAUSE RIGHT NOW WE HAVE DIFFERENT CLUSTERS. AND SO WE'RE TRYING TO BRING THEM TOGETHER SO YOU WOULDN'T SEE WHERE WE'RE CUTTING OFF A NEIGHBORHOOD BECAUSE IT'S TWO STREETS DOWN. ON THE CONTRARY, WE'RE TRYING TO BE IN A SPECIFIC CITY AREA ON A GIVEN DAY SO THAT WE'RE NOT COMING BACK ON A DIFFERENT DAY TO THAT SAME AREA BECAUSE THE, THE ROUTE IS CUT OFF AT A CERTAIN AREA, SO THE GOAL IS TO CLUSTER THE CITY INTO MORE CONDENSED SERVICES SERVICE AREAS SO THAT WE ARE THERE ONE DAY AND WE'RE OUT AND IN.

REGARDING THE DECEMBER DATE, WE ACTUALLY BEEN WANTING TO DO THIS FOR A WHILE, AND SO WE WANTED TO GET IT DONE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

AND WE UNDERSTAND EITHER, YOU KNOW, THE HOLIDAYS ARE ARE BUSY, SO WE DEFINITELY COULD CONSIDER THAT AS AN OPTION IF THAT IS A BIG CONCERN FOR COUNCIL.

I MEAN, IT'S JUST ONE MONTH, BUT WE DEFINITELY NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT IT WILL BE ABLE TO BE LAUNCHED ON JANUARY 1ST OF NEXT YEAR.

IT MAKES MUCH MORE SENSE.

YEAH. YEAH. I THINK WE HAVE CONSENSUS UP HERE THAT WE PREFER A JANUARY 1ST CONVERSION AS OPPOSED TO DECEMBER, IF THAT'S POSSIBLE.

YEAH. NO, WE DISCUSSED IT WITH ISRAEL.

AND DO I THAT'S FINE. ON OUR END.

WE'D BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO TAKE IT INTO CONSIDERATION WITH EVERYONE.

AND YOU KNOW, WE'LL WORK TOGETHER AND GET IT DONE. OKAY.

ALL RIGHT. WOULD YOU MIND KICKING UP THE THE BENEFIT SLIDE? WOULD YOU MIND TYPING? YOU KNOW, YOU GUYS MIND TOUCHING ON EACH OF THOSE BULLET POINTS? JUST, I GUESS WHAT IT MEANS FROM WASTE MANAGEMENT AND WHAT IT MEANS FOR, FOR US. SO, FOR EXAMPLE, ON THE FIRST BULLET, THE IMPROVING THE CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE.

AND THAT IS ATTRIBUTED TO US HAVING TO GO FROM ONE END OF THE CITY FOR A PARTICULAR DAY AND THEN HAVING TO GO TO ANOTHER END.

AND SO WE'RE ACTUALLY TRAVELING A LOT MORE DISTANCES.

AND THEN THAT INCREASES OUR, OUR TIME THAT WE'RE OUT IN THE SERVICE AREA.

SO IT'S FOCUSED ON MAKING SURE THAT BY UNIFYING THESE NEIGHBORHOODS, WE'RE ABLE TO BE IN AN AREA AT A GIVEN TIME AND NOT NECESSARILY HAVE TO DELAY SERVICE FURTHER THAN THE STANDARD TIMES OF, OF KIND OF GOING BACK TO YOUR CONCERN OF CARRYING OVER YOU KNOW, A ROUTE BECAUSE WE DIDN'T GET TO IT.

AND THEN TO THE SECOND BULLET POINT.

WE'VE HAD A THREE BARREL SYSTEM FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS.

HOW ARE WE HOW ARE WE REPLACING TRUCK VISITS TO THOSE AREAS OR REDUCING SORRY, NOT REPLACING. SO FOR INSTANCE, LIKE IN CARBON CANYON, WE WERE THERE FOR THREE DIFFERENT DAYS AND MONDAYS IN A CERTAIN AREA, TRAILER PARK ON TUESDAYS AND WEDNESDAYS, THE REST OF IT.

SO PRETTY MUCH WE'RE PUTTING ALL THE WE'RE GETTING THE ROUTES ARE ALL PUT TOGETHER, SO WE'RE THERE JUST ONE DAY. BESIDES, SLEEPY HOLLOW WILL BE THERE ON WEDNESDAYS.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT. AND THEN REBALANCING ROUTES TO EASE PRESSURE ON HIGH VOLUME MONDAY ROUTES. YES. SO MONDAYS TEND TO BE THE BUSIEST.

OUR HEAVY DAYS OF SERVICE FOR US.

AND AS YOU KNOW, FOR US IN OUR INDUSTRY, WE DO HAVE CALL OUTS FROM DRIVERS.

AND SO WE DON'T WANT TO CONTINUE TO HAVE THAT HEAVINESS.

SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ATTRIBUTE AND BALANCE THOSE DAYS TO GIVE ROOM FOR THOSE CALL OUTS OR ADJUSTMENTS THAT WE NEED TO DO FOR STAFFING PURPOSES.

SO WHY ARE THERE MORE CALL OUTS ON A MONDAY? PEOPLE I DON'T KNOW, THEY YOU KNOW SUNDAY SUNDAY FOOTBALL.

THEY I'M SURPRISED. I I'M CURIOUS TO KNOW HOW MANY CALL OUTS WE HAD TODAY FROM YESTERDAY'S GAME, BUT I DO THINK ANY OF US ARE REALLY HERE AFTER WATCHING A DODGER GAME I GOT YOU.

AND THEN SO FOR ADJUSTMENTS TO FRIDAY TO ACCOMMODATE RESIDENTIAL GROWTH IN THE FUTURE, WHAT ARE WE ATTRIBUTING THAT TO TO THE NEW DEVELOPMENTS THAT WE'RE SEEING IN THE AREAS YOU KNOW, IN WHAT IS IT BY EUCLID ON 71 ON BUTTERFIELD.

SO WE'VE SEEN SOME GROWTH THERE.

AND SO IT'S REALLY, AGAIN, ALLOWING US TO HAVE THAT WIGGLE ROOM TO ACCOMMODATE SERVICE FOR CURRENT GROWTH AND ANY FUTURE GROWTH THAT WE SEE.

OKAY. SOUNDS GOOD. AND THEN JUST BECAUSE I'M GOING TO BE A JERK ABOUT IT.

[00:30:02]

NO I'M KIDDING. NO, I, YOU KNOW, I APPRECIATE YOU REDOING THE SIGNS IN FAIRFIELD RANCH, THE NEIGHBORHOOD I LIVE IN.

IF YOU GUYS EVER FEEL INCLINED TO TRY TO HELP WITH TAKING CARE OF THE, THE WEAR AND TEAR ON OUR STREETS THAT ARE PRIVATELY OWNED, IT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED DOWN THE ROAD.

BUT OTHER THAN THAT, NO, I THINK THIS IS FINE.

I THINK IT'S A GOOD IT'S A GOOD MOVE FOR YOU GUYS.

ALL RIGHT. OTHER QUESTIONS.

PETER, QUICK QUESTION ON THE BIGGEST COMPLAINT THAT SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS IS WHEN REPUBLIC WAS PICKING UP, THEY GENERALLY PICKED UP THOSE THREE CANISTERS OR CANS WITHIN A SHORT WINDOW OF TIME, LET'S SAY AN HOUR, HOUR AND A HALF, SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

WHAT'S HAPPENED IS ONE OF OUR CANS IS SIX, SEVEN, EIGHT HOURS LATER, THEORETICALLY, AT LEAST IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD, IS THAT TIME GAP GOING TO BE SHORTENED WITH TWO CANS PICKED UP PRETTY QUICKLY? AND THEN THE LAST ONE IS HOURS LATER.

IS THAT GOING TO BE COMPRESSED? SO LET'S SAY THE RECYCLE BIN IS NOT SITTING OUT UNTIL FIVE SIX AT NIGHT.

YES. SO WE'RE HOPING THAT WITH THE CHANGES WE WILL SEE A MORE CONDENSED SERVICE SCHEDULE.

HOWEVER WE DO YOU KNOW WE I KNOW THERE'S NO GUARANTEE UNTIL SERVICE TRUCKS ARE, YOU KNOW, FULLY EVEN THEN I WOULD HAVE ISSUES WITH, YOU KNOW, DRIVERLESS TRUCKS. BUT THE GOAL IS TO SEE THAT OBVIOUSLY THE IT VARIES, BUT WE DO WANT TO BE IN AN AREA AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE AND OUT AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.

I CAN SEE THIS WILL BENEFIT CARBON CANYON ROAD, WHICH IS ALWAYS A CHALLENGING ROAD.

IF YOU'RE THERE THREE DAYS A WEEK NOW, TRUCKS COMING AND GOING ON CARBON CANYON ROAD. IT'S BEING REDUCED TO TWO DAYS WITH SLEEPY HOLLOW BEING ITSELF AND THEN THE REMAINDER OF. I CAN SEE THAT AS A BENEFIT FOR SURE ON MONDAY.

DOING A GOOD JOB. YEAH.

I JUST WANT TO SAY SOMETHING REAL FAST. I KNOW GREEN WASTE HAD A LOT OF COMPLAINTS OR A COUPLE COMPLAINTS. I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU, MRS. CHAVEZ. I HAVE THESE ISSUES.

YOU WILL CALL THEM. YOU WILL TAKE CARE OF THOSE PROBLEMS. SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU.

ANOTHER THING THAT BENEFIT THAT YOU HAVE COME UP WITH, I HAVE A NEIGHBOR A COUPLE DOORS DOWN WHO IS A WIDOW AND IS HAS BACK PROBLEMS. AND I PUT HER IN CONTACT WITH LINDA ABOUT THEY HAVE A SERVICE WHERE THEY WILL ACTUALLY THE TRASH TRUCK WILL STOP, GO INTO THE YARD, TAKE THE TRASH CAN OUT, EMPTY IT WITH THE TRUCK AND AND PUT IT BACK.

THAT'S A GREAT SERVICE FOR PEOPLE THAT HAVE DISABILITIES THAT THAT CAN'T DO THAT.

THE OTHER THING THAT YOU MIGHT WANT TO COMMENT ON, JUST BECAUSE THIS IS A PUBLIC MEETING. WELL, IT'S IT'S BEING HEARD BY THE PUBLIC, LET'S PUT IT THAT WAY. THERE'S, WE GET A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT ARE IRRITATED BY GETTING LETTERS IN THE MAIL ABOUT THE, WITH THE PHOTOGRAPHS OF STUFF THEY PUT IN THE WRONG BIN. AND, YOU KNOW, I ALWAYS TELL THEM WHEN THEY WHEN THEY BEND MY EAR ABOUT IT, LOOK, THEY MAKE IT AS EASY AS POSSIBLE.

THERE'S PICTURES AND DESCRIPTIONS ON THE TOP OF ALL THREE CANS, BUT THEY'VE MADE A VALID POINT ABOUT THIS.

IN SOME NEIGHBORHOODS, WHAT HAPPENS IS THEY PUT THEIR TRASH OUT MAYBE THE NIGHT BEFORE, AND PEOPLE WILL COME BY AND JUST DUMP STUFF IN THEIR TRASH CANS BECAUSE THEIR OWN IS FULL AND THEY DON'T CARE WHAT BIN THEY PUT IT IN, AND THEN THE PERSON GETS A TICKET OR A LETTER IN THE MAIL SAYING, YOU'RE GOING TO GET A TICKET IF YOU DON'T PUT QUIT, QUIT PUTTING THE WRONG THING IN THE WRONG CAN.

ANYTHING CAN BE DONE THERE.

OR DO YOU HAVE A COMMENT JUST FOR THE PUBLIC TO KNOW? I PUT MY STUFF IN OUR TRASH CAN.

YEAH, AND THAT'S A LONG DRIVE.

YOU DRIVE ALL THE WAY OVER THERE. FAIRFIELD RANCH TO VILLAGE OAKS? NO, I MEAN, THE THE NOTICES ARE MEANT TO BE AS A WARNING.

OBVIOUSLY, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WITH, YOU KNOW, WITH THE FIRST, SECOND AND THIRD, NOTICE THAT THE BEHAVIOR IS CHANGED. WE DO KNOW THAT, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE SOME NEIGHBORS WHO MIGHT BE THROWING A PARTY.

THE TRASH CAN GETS FULL AND THEY USE YOURS.

JUST LETTING US KNOW THAT YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED.

WE ARE MORE THAN HAPPY TO MAKE THAT ADJUSTMENT TO THE ACCOUNT.

WE'RE REALLY NOT OUT THERE TO TRY TO BE THE POLICE.

WE'RE JUST REALLY TRYING TO INCREASE THE THE CITY'S DIVERSION LEVELS, WHICH WE HAVE SEEN AN IMPROVEMENT BASED ON EVERYBODY'S PARTICIPATION.

AND SO WE DO APPRECIATE EVERYONE WHO IS DOING THE RIGHT THING.

YEAH. AND AGAIN, YOU DON'T DICTATE WHAT GOES IN EACH CAN.

IT'S A STATE MANDATE TO YOU TO DO IT.

YES. AND THE RECYCLING, THE RECYCLING MARKET.

YEAH. YEAH. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS BEFORE WE MOVE FORWARD ON THIS? I THINK YOU GUYS ARE DOING A GOOD JOB.

I THINK BEN PROBABLY HAS DIRECTION, RIGHT? YEAH. MAYOR AND COUNCIL, I WANTED TO CLARIFY.

THERE'S NO ACTION FOR YOU TO TAKE TONIGHT. OUR GOAL WAS TO GET YOUR FEEDBACK.

MAKE SURE THAT YOU UNDERSTOOD THE BENEFITS, BECAUSE ULTIMATELY, A QUARTER OF OUR RESIDENTS ARE GOING TO BE AFFECTED BY THIS.

AND SO WHAT I HEARD CLEARLY, AND I KNOW WASTE MANAGEMENT DID AS WELL, IS THAT WITH THE COMPLEXITIES OF THE HOLIDAYS, THE IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE SHOULD BE OUTSIDE OF THAT WINDOW.

NOW THERE WILL BE COMMUNICATION TO THE PUBLIC ABOUT IT COMING FORWARD,

[00:35:01]

BUT I THINK WE'LL WORK WITH WASTE MANAGEMENT TO IDENTIFY A EARLY 2026 IMPLEMENTATION AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. BUT OUTSIDE OF THE HOLIDAY KIND OF COMPLEXITY.

SO THANK YOU FOR FOR THAT FEEDBACK.

SOUNDS GOOD. ALL RIGHT. AND THANK YOU.

THANK YOU EVERYONE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU CHERYL.

NEXT ITEM. OUR NEXT ITEM IS TO INTRODUCE AN ORDINANCE REGARDING PARKING FINES.

[12. Introduce an Ordinance regarding parking fines entitled: An Ordinance of the City of Chino Hills, Amending Sections 10.04.020 Regarding Parking Fines, 10.08.020 (Prohibited Stopping, Standing, or Parking), and 10.08.200 (Parking in Handicap Stall) of the Chino Hills Municipal Code and Finding the Same to be Exempt from the Provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act” for first reading by title only and waive further reading and adopt resolution designating specified off-street spaces for exclusive purpose of charging and parking vehicle that is connected for electric charging purposes pursuant to California Vehicle Code Section 22511 authorizing the ticketing and removal of vehicles if not connected for electrical vehicle charging purposes]

THIS WILL BE PRESENTED BY ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER HILL.

THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL.

THE ITEM BEFORE YOU TONIGHT PROPOSES AMENDING THREE PARKING RELATED MUNICIPAL CODE SECTIONS AND THE ADOPTION OF A RESOLUTION DESIGNATING CERTAIN MUNICIPAL PARKING SPACES FOR EXCLUSIVE ELECTRIC ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING.

NEXT SLIDE HERE. THE OUR FIRST CODE AMENDMENT IS TO SECTION 10.01 .020 TO PROHIBIT PARKING IN FRONT YARDS OTHER THAN ON A DRIVEWAY.

THE PROPOSED FEE FOR THIS VIOLATION IS $48, AND THE BACKGROUND HERE IS IS THAT FREQUENTLY CODE ENFORCEMENT GETS CALLS AND SAYS ON THE WEEKEND, MY NEIGHBORS WERE PARKING IN THE YARD AND WE HAVE NO WAY OF ENFORCING THAT AFTER THE FACT.

SO THIS WILL ALLOW THE POLICE DEPARTMENT TO DO ENFORCEMENT IF APPROPRIATE. IT'LL BE AT THEIR DISCRETION, BUT THEY'LL HAVE THE ABILITY TO TO CITE FOR PARKING ON THE YARD.

THE NEXT CODE IS AN AMENDMENT TO SECTION 10.08, 10.08 .020 TO PROHIBIT PARKING WITHIN 20FT OF A MARKED OR UNMARKED CROSSWALK.

THIS IS A NEW LAW THAT TOOK EFFECT THIS YEAR.

WE DIDN'T HAVE A SPECIFIC FINE IN PLACE FOR IT.

SO WE ARE ALSO PROPOSING A $48 FINE.

$40 IS OUR COMMON PARKING FINE.

JUST SO YOU KNOW, IN THE CITY, THAT'S OUR TYPICAL FINE. THE MORE EGREGIOUS FINES RELATED TO FIRE LANE VIOLATIONS AND THINGS LIKE THAT ARE HIGHER.

THE LAST CODE SECTION FOR PARKING THAT WE'RE DISCUSSING IS RELATED TO SECTION 10.0, 0.2002. PARKING AND ACCESS AREAS ADJACENT TO DESIGNATED DISABLED PARKING SPACES.

THESE ARE OFTENTIMES THE HASH MARK AREAS RIGHT NEXT TO THE PARKING SPACE, AND PEOPLE HAVE A TENDENCY TO SOMETIMES PARK THERE. OUR CODE SPECIFICALLY NOW ONLY ADDRESSES THE DISABLED PARKING SPOT ITSELF.

SO THIS WILL ALSO MAKE IT ALSO A VIOLATION OF PARKING THE HASH MARK NEXT TO IT, THE UNLOADING AND LOADING AREA NEXT TO THAT PARKING SPACE.

AND THAT WILL BE A $313 FINE, JUST LIKE IT IS FOR A DISABLED PARKING SPACE VIOLATION. WILL THAT REQUIRE A REVISION TO THE DISABLED PARKING SIGNS? NO. AS I UNDERSTAND IT, THAT WILL NOT REQUIRE IT.

THAT INCLUDES THAT PORTION THERE.

OKAY. YEAH. WE JUST DON'T WANT PEOPLE DOING IT AND SAYING, OH, I DIDN'T KNOW. ALL RIGHT.

GOOD. THE NEXT ONE MIGHT AFFECT SOME SIGNAGE AND WE'LL ADDRESS THIS AS WE MOVE FORWARD.

WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH THE CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE PRETTY CLOSELY. THE LAST RECOMMENDATION IS AN ADOPTION OF A RESOLUTION DESIGNATING CERTAIN CITY OWNED PARKING SPACES FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING ONLY.

THERE ARE CURRENTLY CITY OWNED CHARGING SPACES IN THE PARKING STRUCTURE TO THE NORTH OF CITY HALL, ON THE NORTH SIDE OF CITY HALL, ADJACENT TO THE PARKING STRUCTURE AND THE COMMUNITY CENTER.

SO IF PEOPLE ARE PARKED THERE AND NOT CHARGING, THEN IT IS A VIOLATION. THEY CAN BE CITED FOR THAT, RIGHT? ROUGHLY HOW MANY SPOTS ARE THERE FOR EV? I BELIEVE THERE'S AROUND SEVEN HERE AT CITY HALL AND CURRENTLY THREE OVER.

AND THAT INCLUDES THE PARKING STRUCTURE AND THEN THREE OVER AT COMMUNITY CENTER WITH THE ADDITION OF TWO ADDITIONAL SPACES, I THINK THAT ARE BEING DESIGNATED RIGHT NOW.

OKAY. WHAT ABOUT THOSE IN THE SHOPS? THOSE ARE NOT OURS. SO THIS RESOLUTION ONLY APPLIES TO CITY OWNED, PUBLIC OWNED PARKING SPACES THAT ARE OFF THE STREET.

SO TO CLARIFY THAT FOR THE RECORD.

YEAH, THAT THIS WOULD ONLY APPLY TO OURS. IT WOULD NOT APPLY TO THEIRS. AND THAT'S JUST THE WAY THE CODE IS WRITTEN. WE HAVE TO DESIGNATE OUR SPACES, OUR PUBLIC OWNED SPACES WE HAVE DESIGNATED OURSELVES. OKAY.

THANK YOU SIR. APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU. MAYOR. QUICK QUESTION.

THE FIRST SLIDE YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT RESIDENTIAL PARKING IN THE FRONT YARD.

UNPAVED. WHAT ABOUT ADUS? IS IT REQUIRED TO HAVE A PAVED DRIVEWAY? YOU KNOW, I CAN VERIFY THAT. I BELIEVE THEY STILL HAVE TO HAVE A DRIVEWAY. STILL CANNOT PARK IN THE YARD. IS, I GUESS IS HOW I SHOULD PHRASE THAT, RIGHT? THEY DON'T HAVE TO HAVE ADDITIONAL GARAGE STRUCTURES, AND NICK MIGHT BE THE BEST ONE TO ADDRESS THAT, BUT IT DOESN'T PERMIT THEM NECESSARILY TO PARK IN THE YARD. OUR CODE STILL REQUIRES THAT THEY HAVE TO PARK IN IT.

SO THE WAY I'M READING THIS IS, IS PROHIBIT PARKING IN FRONT YARD OR ANY SURFACE OTHER THAN THE ON ANY SURFACE OTHER THAN THE PAVED DRIVEWAY.

SO THEY HAVE TO PARK IN THE DRIVEWAY.

THEY'D HAVE TO PARK IN A DRIVEWAY OR ON THE STREET. SO AN ADU DOES IT REQUIRE TO HAVE A PAVED DRIVEWAY? NO, THEY DO NOT HAVE TO HAVE AN ADDITIONAL.

SO ARE THEY GOING TO PARK? THEY'RE GOING TO PARK IN THE STREET. THEY CAN'T PARK ON THE GRASS. GRASS. THEY CAN'T PARK ON THE DIRT ADJACENT TO THE DRIVEWAY.

WE CAN, I GUESS, LOOK AT IT, BUT CURRENTLY IT HAS TO BE.

THE WAY WE WROTE THE CODE WAS TO HAVE IT PARKED ON A ON A PAVED SURFACE.

ARE YOU THINKING THAT WE HAVE SPECIFIC AREAS? THIS MIGHT BE A PROBLEM. JUST LOOKING AT ADUS, I HAVE A FEELING THERE'S GOING TO BE A LOT MORE IN THE NEAR FUTURE,

[00:40:01]

SO JUST. AND I KNOW THAT THEY DON'T HAVE TO MAKE IMPROVEMENTS ON THE DRIVEWAY.

SO MY QUESTION, WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO TO BE PROACTIVE? WELL, UNDER THIS, SACRAMENTO DOESN'T ALLOW US TO REQUIRE PARKING SPACES FOR ADUS.

I MEAN, NICK, CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, BUT I MEAN, THEY STARTED OFF AND WE WERE ALLOWED TO REQUIRE THEM AND WE COULDN'T.

I MEAN, THEY'RE NOT WE'RE NOT ALLOWED TO REQUIRE PARKING FOR ADUS.

YEAH, THERE WERE THERE.

THE LAW HAS EVOLVED EVERY LEGISLATIVE SESSION WITH REGARD TO THAT.

SO THERE'S A RECENT CHANGE THAT'S GOING TO AFFECT JULY 1ST THAT FURTHER RESTRICTS OUR ABILITY TO REQUIRE PARKING FOR ADUS.

OFTEN WE CAN WORK WITH THE PROPERTY OWNER, ENCOURAGE THEM TO INCREASE THE WIDTH OF THEIR DRIVEWAY TO PROVIDE SOME ADDITIONAL PARKING SPACE.

BUT IN GENERALLY OUR CODE PROHIBITS PARKING ON UNPAVED SURFACES.

AND SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO ADDRESS WITH THIS, THIS CODE UPDATE. BUT WHEN PROPERTY OWNERS ARE WORKING WITH US TO BUILD AN ADU, IT OFTEN THEY DO WANT TO FIGURE OUT HOW THEY'RE GOING TO ADDRESS PARKING BECAUSE IT'S THEIR PROPERTY. THEY, YOU KNOW, THEY HAVE THEIR OWN NEEDS FOR THAT.

I'M JUST SAYING, IF WE CAN SUGGEST THAT THEY ACTUALLY WIDEN THE DRIVEWAY, THAT WOULD BE REALLY GOOD. SO THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT. ACTION REQUIRED.

YES. SO THAT'S REALLY ALL WE HAVE.

COUNCIL, MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL.

JUST IN SUMMARY, WE RECOMMEND THOSE THREE AMENDMENTS TO THE THREE MUNICIPAL CODES FOR PARKING AND THE ADOPTION OF A RESOLUTION DESIGNATING THE PUBLIC PARKING FOR EV VEHICLES. AND WITH THAT, THAT'S ALL WE NEED THE RESOLUTION TO PASS.

AND THE SECOND, WE HAVE A MOTION BY RAY, SECOND BY PETER, LOCK IN YOUR VOTES. THANK YOU.

RON. YES. MOTION PASSES FIVE ZERO.

OUR NEXT ITEM IS TO REVIEW AND FILE AN UPDATE TO THE CITY HALL FIRE EMERGENCY DECLARATION.

[13. Review and file update to City Hall Fire Emergency Declaration in accordance with Public Construction Code 22050 and continue to authorize City Manager to negotiate and execute all necessary agreements related to repair and restoration of City Hall under Chino Hills Municipal Code 2.08.065.A.1. on an emergency basis, and determine by four-fifths vote the need to continue existence of local emergency for City Hall Fire pursuant to Public Construction Code Section 22050 until action is terminated]

THIS WILL BE PRESENTED BY CITY MANAGER MONTGOMERY.

OKAY. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

TONIGHT'S ITEM IS ONE THAT WE'VE VISITED FREQUENTLY SINCE OUR FIRE ON JUNE 23RD.

ON AUGUST 11TH, THE COUNCIL TOOK SPECIAL ACTION IN ORDER TO BE ABLE, IN ORDER TO GIVE THE CITY MANAGER AND STAFF THE FLEXIBILITY TO BRING CITY HALL BACK FROM THE FIRE AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.

IT'S BECOME A REQUIREMENT OF THAT ACTION, THE EMERGENCY ACTION TO BRING TO THE COUNCIL UPDATES AND AND TO HAVE THE COUNCIL BY 4/5 VOTE.

CONTINUE THE EMERGENCY DECLARATION.

AND WHAT WE ARE HAVE EXPERIENCED SINCE OUR LAST MEETING IS THAT, OF COURSE, ALL OF OUR STAFF ARE BACK IN CITY HALL.

WE CONTINUE TO BE SERVING THE PUBLIC THROUGH OUR CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER, AWAY FROM OUR MAIN COUNTERS, WHILE WE REPAIR THE ELEVATOR.

THE ELEVATOR REPAIR HAS BEGUN.

WE ANTICIPATE IT WILL BE COMPLETED BY MID NOVEMBER.

AT THAT TIME, WE'LL TAKE THE TEMPORARY WALL DOWN, AND THE PUBLIC WILL BE ABLE TO ENGAGE WITH STAFF AT THE COUNTERS, EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE FUTURE REPAIRS TO THOSE COUNTERS.

THEY'RE MOSTLY STRUCTURAL AND COSMETIC, BUT NOT SAFETY ISSUES.

SO WE'LL DO THOSE DURING PRIMARILY DURING THE CHRISTMAS BREAK, WHEN WE HAVE NIGHTS AND WEEKENDS AND A FEW DAYS THAT WE CAN SECURE THOSE IMPROVEMENTS.

WHAT'S WHAT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO ME, AND I THINK TO THE TEAM THAT THE COUNCIL WILL BE AWARE OF, IS WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH OUR INSURER, THE CALIFORNIA JOINT POWERS INSURANCE AGENCY, AND THEY'VE BEEN GREAT TO WORK WITH, BUT THE PROCESS REQUIRES THEM TO REVIEW ALL THE PROPOSED WORK THAT'S GETTING DONE.

AND TO A CERTAIN EXTENT, THE COUNCIL GAVE THE CITY MANAGER AND STAFF THE FLEXIBILITY TO MOVE AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE, WHICH MEANT THERE WERE TIMES WHERE WE WERE AUTHORIZING THE WORK PRIOR TO THE INSURANCE COMPANY CONFIRMING THAT THEY WERE ON BOARD WITH THE EXPENSES.

I'M HAPPY TO REPORT THAT OF THE $3.93 MILLION, THAT OF WORK THAT HAS OCCURRED, 3.67 OF IT HAS BEEN PAID BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY. SO SINCE OUR LAST MEETING, OVER $1 MILLION OF WORK THAT WAS UNDER REVIEW HAS NOW BEEN PAID. SO WE HAVE FAR LESS WORK THAT'S STILL BEING REVIEWED.

SO OUR ESTIMATE IS STILL THAT THE TOTAL PROJECT WILL BE ABOUT $4.5 MILLION.

BUT WE'RE A LOT CLOSER TO THE COMPLETION OF THIS PROCESS THAN WE WERE EVEN TWO WEEKS AGO.

AND THAT CONCLUDES MY REPORT.

ADDITIONAL EXPENSES WERE A LOT OF THOSE IN IN THE IT AREA,

[00:45:02]

UPDATING THINGS BEFORE WHILE THINGS WERE STILL OPENED UP.

YEAH. SO THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHAT HAS BEEN PAID BY THE INSURANCE AGENCY AND ITEMS THAT WE DON'T THINK THEY'RE GOING TO COVER ARE EXACTLY THAT IMPROVEMENTS THAT ARE OUTSIDE THE SCOPE OF THE DAMAGE.

BUT WHILE WE WERE UNDER CONSTRUCTION, IT MADE SENSE FOR US TO DO THAT.

SO IT IMPROVEMENTS SOME OFFICE RECONFIGURATIONS, BUT A LOT OF THE THINGS THAT HAVE OCCURRED ACTUALLY WERE PART OF THE AREA OF COVERAGE.

YEAH, IT WAS JUST A SMART TIME TO MAKE THOSE UPGRADES BECAUSE THEY WERE IN NEED OF IT.

SO DID YOU HAVE A QUESTION? I DO HAVE A QUESTION. MAYOR. THANK YOU SO MUCH. FIRST OF ALL, I WANT TO SAY STAFF, YOU CITY MANAGER GREAT JOB TO GET BACK AS FAST AS WE WE HAVE. BUT THE QUESTION THAT I DO HAVE YES, WE DID HAVE A FIRE. IT WAS A REAL SMALL FIRE.

I THINK ONLY TWO SPRINKLER HEADS ACTUALLY WENT OFF, BUT THE MOST OF THE DAMAGE WAS DONE BECAUSE OF WATER DAMAGE.

SO MY QUESTION, HAVE WE DONE ANYTHING WITH OUR ALARM SYSTEM TO MAKE SURE THAT IT DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN? NO. THE THE WAY OUR SYSTEM WORKS REQUIRES THAT ONCE IT'S ACTIVATED FOR IT TO BE SHUT OFF. WE HAVE STARTED LOOKING AT WHETHER OTHER ALTERNATE SUPPRESSION SYSTEMS MIGHT GET RID OF THE CONCERN THAT THERE COULD BE A GAP OF TIME BETWEEN THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE SPRINKLER HEAD AND IT BEING SHUT OFF.

UNFORTUNATELY, THAT WOULD REQUIRE A PRETTY WHOLESALE CHANGE TO THE BUILDING STRUCTURE.

BUT WE ARE LOOKING AT WHETHER ALARMS OR OTHER TECHNOLOGY COULD KIND OF SHRINK THAT RISK FOR US. AND SO THAT IS SOMETHING THAT STAFF IS LOOKING AT RIGHT NOW.

JUST ONE LAST QUESTION. ACTUALLY, CHIEF, I DID TALK TO CHIEF WILLIAMS AND HE MADE A COMMENT TO ME, I GUESS THE NIGHT OF THE FIRE.

YOU GUYS DID A GREAT JOB.

BUT NOT TOO MANY OF YOUR PEOPLE HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN IN CITY HALL.

HAVE WE ACTUALLY HAD A TOUR OF CITY HALL WITH THE FIRE EMPLOYEES? SO THEY KNOW WHERE EVERYTHING, ALL THE SHUTOFFS ARE.

AND IF WE HAVEN'T, COULD WE DO THAT? WE'VE DONE THAT IN THE PAST, BUT I DON'T KNOW WHEN.

THE LAST TIME WE WE HAD OUR POLICE AND FIRE STAFF DO A TOUR, BUT WE CAN DEFINITELY PUT THAT ON THE RADAR.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THEN I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO GO AHEAD AND APPROVE THIS.

I'D LIKE TO MOVE THE ITEM, MR. MAYOR. I'LL SECOND. ALL RIGHT.

LOCK IN YOUR VOTES, PLEASE.

MOTION PASSES FIVE ZERO.

ALL RIGHT. WE ARE ABOUT TO ENTER INTO THE AREA OF PUBLIC HEARINGS.

[14. Authorize execution of 20-year Business Development Agreement with Western Water Works Supply Company in amount of lesser of 50 percent of sales tax generated by headquarters in prior fiscal year or $359,398, with a three percent increase each year to continue providing economic incentives in form of an economic development subsidy for retaining corporate headquarters in Chino Hills ]

CHERYL, WOULD YOU READ THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR PUBLIC HEARINGS? SO THIS IS ITEM NUMBER 14.

YES. THIS IS THE PORTION OF THE COUNCIL.

THAT'S FOR ALL MATTERS THAT LEGALLY REQUIRE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR PUBLIC INPUT.

AGAIN, PLEASE COMPLETE AND SUBMIT A SPEAKER CARD AND GIVE IT TO THE DEPUTY CITY CLERK TO MY LEFT. THE FIRST ITEM IS TO AUTHORIZE THE EXECUTION OF A 20 YEAR BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WITH WESTERN WATERWORKS SUPPLY COMPANY.

THIS WILL BE PRESENTED BY CITY MANAGER MONTGOMERY.

ALL RIGHT. BEN, WOULD YOU LIKE TO WALK US THROUGH THIS? VERY BENEFICIAL TO THE CITY AGREEMENT.

YES, MAYOR. THANK YOU.

SO THE CITY HAS HAD A DEVELOPMENT OR A BUSINESS AGREEMENT WITH WESTERN WATER WORKS, WHICH IS LOCATED IN THE PINE CORPORATE CENTER.

SINCE 2006. THIS AGREEMENT IS A TAX SHARING RELATIONSHIP WHERE THE SALES THAT ARE GENERATED AND THAT OCCUR AT THIS LOCATION FOR MULTIPLE SITES FOR THE BUSINESS, ALLOWS THAT BUSINESS TO SHARE IN THE TAXES THAT ARE GENERATED.

IN ESSENCE, 50% UP TO, LET'S SEE, UP TO $359,000.

THE BUSINESS WILL BE ABLE TO SHARE IN THE TAX AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY.

I GUESS IT DIDN'T COME OUT RIGHT.

SO FOR EVERY DOLLAR THAT THIS CORPORATION GENERATES IN TAX DOLLARS, 50, 50% IS REBATED TO THEM UP TO $359,000.

THIS AGREEMENT HAS BEEN IN PLACE FOR GOING ON 20 YEARS.

THE BUSINESS HAS 20 PLUS EMPLOYEES THAT ARE LOCATED HERE.

SO IT ALSO IS GENERATING EMPLOYMENT IN THE CITY, BUT IT ALSO PROVIDES US WITH A REVENUE STREAM THAT WOULD NOT OCCUR IF THE BUSINESS WERE LOCATED IN A DIFFERENT LOCATION.

THEY HAVE OTHER OPERATIONS IN WESTERN WATER WORKS IN FOUR STATES, INCLUDING CALIFORNIA. SO WHAT WE WANTED TO BRING FOR THE COUNCIL TONIGHT IS AN EXTENSION

[00:50:07]

OF THIS AGREEMENT. IT WILL SUNSET OR EXPIRE IN SEPTEMBER OF 2026.

AND WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING IS TO EXTEND THIS UNDER THE THE SAME TERMS FOR ANOTHER 20 YEARS. ALL RIGHT. I HAVE A COMMENT I'D LIKE TO JUST MENTION BEFORE WE GO INTO THE PUBLIC HEARING. THE FATHER AND SON THAT OWNED THIS BUSINESS AND RUN IT LIVE HERE IN CHINO HILLS.

THEY LOVE IT. UNDER NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES, A POINT OF SALE SALES TAX THAT IS GENERATED TYPICALLY MEANS THAT THE WORK HAS TO BE DONE IN IN THE WITHIN THE MUNICIPALITY'S BOUNDARIES. IN THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE, WE ARE WE ARE VERY FORTUNATE IN THAT ALL THE SALES TAX IS CREDITED TO THIS LOCATION.

SO EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE OPERATIONS OUTSIDE OF OUR CITY BOUNDARIES, WE ARE BEING ABLE TO SHARE IN THE SALES TAX ON THAT BASED ON THEIR POINT OF SALE COLLECTION. SO THIS IS A REALLY GOOD DEAL FOR US, AND IT'S REALLY GOOD FOR THE OWNERS BECAUSE THEY LOVE IT HERE IN THE CITY OF CHINO HILLS.

SO WITH THAT, I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD UNLESS YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.

I'M GOING TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING OFFICIALLY.

AND OR DO WE HAVE ANY SPEAKERS? YES. AT THIS TIME WE HAVE NO MA LUNA.

ALL RIGHT.

GOOD EVENING, MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL.

JUST SOME QUICK QUESTIONS.

I'VE LIVED IN THE IN THE PINEHURST AREA OFF OF WHERE THIS THE CURRENT COMPANY IS.

AND FROM WHAT I READ ON THE REPORT IS THAT POTENTIALLY A WAREHOUSE IS GOING TO BE BUILT.

OR IS THAT TRUE? NO, THAT'S, THAT'S NOT THE CASE.

THIS, I THINK THE CONFUSION IS, IS BECAUSE THE CORPORATE CENTER THAT DOES THE BILLING IS FOR WAREHOUSES LOCATED IN OTHER AREAS.

AND SO THERE MAY HAVE BEEN SOME CONFUSION WHEN THEY TALK ABOUT THIS AS A WAREHOUSING BUSINESS. IT IS NOT LOOKING TO BRING WAREHOUSING TO THE AREA.

THIS IS AN OFFICE CENTER WHERE THE THE CALLS FOR ORDERS AND BILLS ARE PROCESSED.

PERFECT. AND IN THE 20.

IF THIS. AGREEMENT IS EXTENDED A AND I THE IDEA OR PROPOSAL TO BUILD A WAREHOUSE IN THAT AREA IS NOT IN THAT AGREEMENT.

THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THAT. YES.

OKAY. OKAY. WONDERFUL.

BECAUSE I'LL BE HONEST WITH YOU, I WAS CONCERNED WITH THAT, THINKING THAT SOMETHING WOULD BE BUILT THERE.

THE BENEFITS ARE GREAT.

I'M SURE THEY'RE GREAT FOR THE CITY.

THAT TYPE OF REVENUE IS.

BUT TRUCK TRAFFIC NOISE.

THE TIME THAT A WAREHOUSE WOULD BE RUNNING WAS MY BIGGEST CONCERN.

SO I THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR ADDRESSING THAT.

I APPRECIATE IT. I DID WANT TO SAY THAT ON THAT, IF I MAY ADD SOMETHING ABOUT THE, THE TRASH I THINK THE CITY, NOT THE CITY, BUT THE WEST WASTE MANAGEMENT STAFF MENTIONED THAT THEY, THEY'RE NOT OUT THERE TO POLICE THE TRASH.

AND I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND THAT.

WE RECEIVED OR I RECEIVED SHE SAID SOMETHING ABOUT A WARNING INSTEAD OF CHARGING PEOPLE.

I BEG TO DIFFER. I DID NOT RECEIVE A WARNING, AND WE WERE CHARGED AN ADDITIONAL TRASH CAN FEE FOR OUR TRASH BEING SLIGHTLY UNABLE TO CLOSE, IDENTIFYING IT AS AN ADDITIONAL WHAT WOULD YOU CALL IT? PICKUP OR AN ADDITIONAL TRASH CAN.

AND WE WERE CHARGED AN ADDITIONAL FEE AS IF IT WAS AN ADDITIONAL TRASH CAN.

SO INSTEAD OF HAVING TO BE CHARGED WHAT WOULD YOU SAY UNPLANNED.

I JUST HAD TO. HOW DO YOU SAY IN MY IN MY ACCOUNT, GET AN ADDITIONAL TRASH CAN SO THAT WE WOULDN'T BE CHARGED FOR A SLIGHT.

IT MIGHT HAVE HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE SIZE OF YOUR TRASH CANS.

BECAUSE THERE ARE VARIOUS SIZES AND SOMETIMES PEOPLE, WHEN THEY WERE ISSUING THE ORIGINAL TRASH CANS, REQUESTED SMALLER TRASH CANS.

I DON'T. I DON'T REMEMBER THAT, AND I APOLOGIZE.

I DON'T REMEMBER THAT.

YEAH, I HAVE NOTICED THOUGH, OR I DID NOTICE IMMEDIATELY THAT THE TRASH CANS WERE SMALLER. THAT WAS MY, MY, MY FIRST IMPRESSION OF IT.

BUT THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I DON'T WANT TO EXCEED MY LIMIT.

YOU'RE WELCOME. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? NOT FOR THIS ITEM. ALL RIGHT. ANYONE ELSE OUT IN THE PUBLIC WISH TO SPEAK OR MAKE COMMENTS UNDER PUBLIC? EXCUSE ME.

UNDER PUBLIC HEARING. IF NOT, I'M GOING TO OFFICIALLY CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. BRING IT BACK UP HERE FOR QUESTIONS. I GOT A QUESTION.

[00:55:01]

I THINK IT'S A GREAT THING THAT WE DO THIS WITH THIS COMPANY. AS FAR AS SERVICES.

IT DOESN'T REALLY WE'RE NOT PROVIDING A WHOLE LOT OF SERVICE FROM THE CITY.

CORRECT. YEAH, THAT'S THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION.

AND FOR THEIR BASICALLY AN OFFICE BUILDING.

SO THEY'RE BRINGING EMPLOYEES WHO I'M SURE BUY LUNCHES AND SHOP IN TOWN.

SO IT'S IT HAS THAT BENEFIT AS WELL, IN ADDITION TO THE REVENUE IT GENERATES FOR THE CITY. IT'S A IT'S A QUALITY EMPLOYER.

OKAY. YEAH. BEN AND I ACTUALLY MET WITH THE, THE OWNERS OF THE COMPANY IN THEIR CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS THERE IN, IN PINE AVENUE CORPORATE CENTER.

THOSE, THAT ENTIRE CENTER WAS BUILT ORIGINALLY YOU COULD OWN OR RENT THOSE FACILITIES. AND IT'S STRICTLY FOR CORPORATIONS FOR HEADQUARTERS.

THERE'S REAL ESTATE REALTORS IN THERE.

AND THERE ARE VARIOUS HEADQUARTERS FOR INDIVIDUAL COMPANIES THAT, THAT DO BUSINESS OUT OF THERE, BUT THERE IS NO ZONING IN THAT AREA AND NO SPACE IN THAT AREA FOR ANY ACTUAL WAREHOUSES, IT WOULD NOT BE PERMITTED.

SO THAT'S A GREAT DEAL.

WE APPRECIATE THAT THEY ARE STAYING WITH IT. IT'S A REALLY GOOD DEAL FOR THE CITY.

IT REALLY IS. IT'S GOOD.

ALL RIGHT. I'LL MOVE THE MOTION.

I WAS JUST GOING TO MAKE A QUICK COMMENT. YOU KNOW IT'S THIS IS REALLY JUST A PAPERWORK, YOU KNOW, A PAPERWORK DEAL.

AND I WISH WE HAD MORE OF THEM.

I KNOW AT ONE POINT WE HAD THE JACUZZI, YOU KNOW, NORTH AMERICAN HEADQUARTERS HERE AT THE SHOPS.

IF WE CAN EVER TRACK DOWN, YOU KNOW, ESSENTIALLY FREE MONEY FOR JUST MAKING US THE POINT OF SALE, I LOVE IT BECAUSE THE WAY I SEE IT IS HOW MANY DEPUTIES CAN WE PAY FOR WITH SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS THIS? AND, YOU KNOW, AND TO YOUR POINT, MA'AM, YEAH, THIS IS LITERALLY JUST MONEY COMING THROUGH A, A CORPORATE, YOU KNOW, A, YOU KNOW, A CORPORATE OFFICE AND NO, NO INFRASTRUCTURE GOING INTO, YOU KNOW, TO BUILD A WAREHOUSE OR ANYTHING.

SO IT'S, IT'S A FANTASTIC DEAL.

I'M GLAD THE CITY DID IT A LONG TIME AGO, AND I'M GLAD WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE WITH IT.

ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION.

I'LL MOVE IT. ALL RIGHT.

WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND LOCK IN YOUR VOTES.

WHO GAVE THE SECOND? PARDON ME? WHO WAS THE SECOND? PETER OR ME? JUST EITHER ONE. YEAH.

SORRY. OKAY. PETER. MOTION PASSES, FIVE ZERO.

ALL RIGHT. NEXT ITEM COMING UP IS THE ADOPTION.

[15. Adopt resolution approving proposed new fees, fee revisions and increases, and adopting the Master Schedule of Fees, Fines and Penalties effective January 1, 2026 and determining it is exempt from review under California Environmental Quality Act]

APPROVING PROPOSED NEW FEES.

FEE FOR REVISIONS AND INCREASES.

AND ADOPTING THE MASTER SCHEDULE OF FEES, FINES AND PENALTIES.

EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1ST, 2026, AND DETERMINING IT IS EXEMPT FROM REVIEW UNDER THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT. AND FINANCE DIRECTOR IS GOING TO DISCUSS THIS, AND WE WILL HAVE A COUNCIL DISCUSSION, AND THEN WE'LL OPEN UP THE PUBLIC HEARING.

KRISTA. THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING MAYOR, COUNCIL MEMBERS, STAFF AND MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC.

ON TUESDAY, OCTOBER 14TH, WE HELD A WORKSHOP TO DISCUSS IN DETAIL THE VARIOUS CHANGES TO THE CITY'S MASTER SCHEDULE OF FEES, FINES AND PENALTIES. CITY STAFF WORKED WITH WILLDAN FINANCIAL SERVICES TO COMPLETE THIS UPDATE, ANALYZING SERVICE COSTS AND RECOMMENDING ADJUSTMENTS TO ENSURE THE FEES REMAIN FAIR AND DEFENSIBLE.

TONIGHT, I'LL PROVIDE A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF HOW USER FEES ARE CALCULATED, AS WELL AS THE NEW AND INCREASED FEES BEING PROPOSED.

USER FEES ARE ADOPTED TO FUND PROGRAMS AND SERVICES THAT PROVIDE A DIRECT BENEFIT TO THE INDIVIDUAL PAYING THE FEE WITH LIMITED OR NO DIRECT BENEFIT TO THE COMMUNITY.

THE CITY'S USER FEES ARE BASED ON A COST RECOVERY CONCEPT, MEANING THAT THE AMOUNT OF REVENUE GENERATED FROM THE FEES MAY NOT EXCEED THE ESTIMATED REASONABLE COST OF PROVIDING THE SERVICE.

THE USER FEES ARE CALCULATED BY MULTIPLYING THE FULLY BURDENED HOURLY DEPARTMENT OR DIVISION RATES BY THE AVERAGE TIME SPENT TO PROVIDE THE SERVICE DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE USER FEE. FULLY BURDENED HOURLY RATES INCLUDE SALARY AND BENEFIT COSTS, PLUS ALL APPLICABLE OVERHEAD AMOUNTS FOR THE BLENDED GROUP, WHICH IS EITHER THE DEPARTMENT OR DIVISION.

EVERY YEAR, STAFF EVALUATES THE TIME SPENT ON VARIOUS SERVICES IN THEIR DEPARTMENT AND ADJUST THE TIME DATA AS NEEDED BASED ON THE AVERAGE TIME SPENT ON EACH SERVICE.

STAFF IS PROPOSING THAT THESE REVISED FEES WILL BECOME EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1ST, 2026. THIS YEAR, A TOTAL OF 12 NEW FEES HAVE BEEN INTRODUCED TO BETTER REFLECT THE SERVICES PROVIDED BY THE CITY AND ENSURE COST RECOVERY.

SINCE WE HAVE ALREADY DISCUSSED THEM AT THE WORKSHOP, I'LL BRIEFLY SHOW THEM FOR THE AUDIENCE.

HERE WE HAVE THE NEW FEES FOR BUILDING SERVICES, THE CITY CLERK'S OFFICE, CODE ENFORCEMENT AND COMMUNITY SERVICES.

AND THIS SLIDE SHOWS THE NEW FEES FOR DEVELOPMENT SERVICES AND A NEW PENALTY FOR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.

YES. QUESTION TO WAIT UNTIL THE END.

IS THAT WHAT YOU PREFER? WHY DON'T YOU ASK IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION? JUST JUST SO SOME BACKSTORY FOR THE PUBLIC TO THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME THAT WE HAVE BEEN

[01:00:02]

GIVEN A PRESENTATION. SO THIS HAS BEEN THOROUGHLY VETTED AND WE'VE HAD A LOT OF CONVERSATION ABOUT THIS.

SO I DON'T WANT IT TO SEEM LIKE WE'RE UP HERE VERY LIKE, YOU KNOW, NOT RESPONDING.

BUT ONE THING I REMEMBER THAT I HAD BROUGHT UP, I ALREADY KNOW THE ANSWER, BUT WHAT I HAD BROUGHT UP DURING THE STUDY SESSION THAT WE HAD, IF YOU CAN GO TO THE SLIDE THAT HAD THE TREE REMOVAL, JUST BECAUSE AT FIRST GLANCE, IF SOMEONE'S LOOKING AT THIS AND IT SAYS TREE REMOVAL PERMIT, OTHER $4,000, YOU'RE LIKE, WHAT? SO CAN ONE OF YOU, YOU OR NICK ELABORATE ON WHAT THAT IS SO THAT THEY CAN UNDERSTAND? CERTAINLY. SO CURRENTLY WE HAVE IN OUR FEE STRUCTURE FOR IF SOMEONE IS GOING THROUGH THE PROCESS OF REMOVING A PROTECTED TREE FROM THEIR YARD FOR FOR RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES LIKE SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL.

BUT WHAT WE DON'T HAVE IS FOR PROPERTIES WHERE YOU HAVE A LARGE SCALE DEVELOPMENT, LIKE A TRACT OR, OR COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT OR THINGS LIKE THAT.

AND SO WHAT THIS FEE IS, THIS IS AN ACTUAL COST FEE.

SO THIS IS A DEPOSIT THAT WOULD BE PAID ESSENTIALLY PAYS FOR STAFF TIME TO PROCESS THE PERMIT AND FOR AN ARBORIST.

CITY ARBORIST TO REVIEW THE PROPOSED REMOVAL OF JUST THOSE PROTECTED TREES.

SO THOSE ARE THE VERY LARGE, LIKE THE HERITAGE TREES WE CALL THEM.

AND THEN THE NATIVE TREES.

SO SYCAMORE OAK AND BLACK WALNUT.

AND SO THIS THIS PROVIDES A FEE STRUCTURE FOR US FOR THOSE KIND OF OUT OF THE ORDINARY OR LARGE SCALE DEVELOPMENT PERMITS THAT WE WOULD PROCESS.

NOT IF I WANT TO REMOVE THE TREE IN MY OWN YARD IN THE BACKYARD.

NO, NO, BECAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE NON NATIVE AND NON PROTECTED TREES IN THEIR COMMUNITY LANDSCAPE, INCLUDING HOAS.

NONE OF THOSE REQUIRE PERMITS.

IT'S THE HERITAGE TREES AND THE NATIVE TREES.

THANKS, NICK. THAT'S ALL I HAVE. ART. ALL RIGHT. ANYBODY ELSE? ANY QUESTIONS AT THIS POINT WOULD YOU COMPLETE YOUR PRESENTATION? SO AT THE WORKSHOP WE ALSO WENT OVER THE MORE SIGNIFICANT PROPOSED FEE INCREASES, THOSE THAT ARE OVER $10 AND 7%.

THIS SLIDE SHOWS THE BREAKDOWN OF THOSE FEES BY DIVISION, AND SINCE WE'VE ALREADY DISCUSSED THEM AT THE WORKSHOP, I'LL JUST SHOW THEM BRIEFLY FOR THE AUDIENCE.

THE SIGN REMOVAL FEE IS PROPOSED TO INCREASE BY $31 AND THE REINSPECTION FEE BY $203.

POLICE HAS TWO PENALTIES INCREASING BY 15 AND $20.

THE INCREASE FOR THESE FOR DEVELOPMENT SERVICE FEES RANGE FROM $408 TO 416.

AND THESE FOR DEVELOPMENT SERVICE FEES ARE INCREASING BY AMOUNTS RANGING FROM 410 TO 944. THE INCREASES FOR THE SIX FEES IN UTILITY BILLING RANGE FROM $15 TO AND 86. AND LASTLY, WE HAVE SIX WATER METER INSTALLATION FEES INCREASING BY AMOUNTS RANGING FROM $39 TO 170.

SO THE RECOMMENDATION BEFORE YOU TONIGHT IS TO CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING AND ADOPT THE RESOLUTION APPROVING THE PROPOSED FEES AND FEE REVISIONS WITH AN EFFECTIVE DATE OF JANUARY 1ST, 2026. AND THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.

AND YOU CAN TAKE ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.

ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF BEFORE WE OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING? ALL RIGHT. WE'RE GOING TO OFFICIALLY OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.

DO WE HAVE ANYONE REQUESTING TO SPEAK? WE DO NOT FOR THIS ITEM.

ALL RIGHT. I WILL VERBALLY ACKNOWLEDGE ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS ISSUE. SEEING NONE, I'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING, BRING IT BACK UP FOR COUNCIL DISCUSSION AND APPROVAL.

MR. MAYOR, I HAVE A COUPLE QUESTIONS.

OKAY, CHRIS. BASICALLY, I'M INVOLVED WITH SKAG QUITE A BIT, AND I KNOW HOUSING IS REAL IMPORTANT, AND I KNOW THAT THERE'S A LOT OF THERE'S A NEED FOR HOUSING AND IT JUST SEEMS LIKE EVERY YEAR IT GETS MORE AND MORE EXPENSIVE TO BE ABLE TO BUY. AND I KNOW WE'RE ADDING SOME OF THESE FEES FOR HOUSING AS AN EXAMPLE, FROM WHAT THE FEES WERE BEFORE AND WHAT THEY ARE TODAY.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE PERCENTAGE IS THAT THEY'RE GOING TO BE INCREASED FOR HOUSING? THE ONES THAT I SHOWED ON THE SLIDE WERE THE LARGEST INCREASES.

AND SOME OF THEM, THEY'RE AT LEAST 7% INCREASE.

JUST HOW MANY AT LEAST A 7% INCREASE THE ONES ON THE SLIDE.

OKAY. I THOUGHT THEY WERE A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN THAT. I WANT TO ASK YOU A QUESTION. I DON'T KNOW IF I SHOULD ASK THE ATTORNEY ANYBODY THAT'S IN THE QUEUE.

I KNOW THAT WE HAVE SOME DEVELOPERS AND AGAIN, WE WANT TO BE GENERIC.

SO ANY DEVELOPER THAT'S IN THE QUEUE ON JANUARY 1ST, WILL THEY BE INCREASED.

SAY THEY'VE BEEN IN THE QUEUE FOR, LET'S SAY FOUR YEARS, FIVE YEARS. AND IT JUST HASN'T HAPPENED.

WE'LL SAY THE ARMY CORPS OR ENVIRONMENTAL REASONS THAT THEY HAVEN'T BEEN APPROVED AS OF

[01:05:04]

YET. I THINK THIS IS COUNCIL MEMBER CLARIFY SOMETHING FOR YOU.

YEAH. WE HAVEN'T MOVED ON TO DIFF.

WE'VE TAKEN TWO SEPARATE ACTIONS WARMED UP FOR.

YEAH. THESE ARE OUR OTHER MISCELLANEOUS FEES.

THE NEXT ITEM WILL ACTUALLY BE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT RELATED FEES.

OKAY. BECAUSE I WOULD LOOK AT THE HOUSING PLAN. I WOULD JUST SORT OF CONCERNED ON THAT.

SO THE HOUSING PLAN. WHAT HAS THAT GONE UP PERCENTAGE WISE.

SO THE HOUSING PLAN APPROVAL IS A NEW APPLICATION TYPE.

SO UNDER THE CHANGES TO STATE LAW FROM THE LAST LEGISLATIVE SESSION THE CITY UPDATED ITS ZONING TO BE CONSISTENT WITH OUR HOUSING ELEMENT.

AND WE HAVE TO PROVIDE FOR A COMPLETELY MINISTERIAL APPLICATION APPROVAL FOR HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS THAT PROVIDE 20% OR MORE AFFORDABLE HOUSING.

AND SO THROUGH OUR UPDATED ZONING CODE, WE CREATED AN APPLICATION TYPE CALLED A HOUSING PLAN APPROVAL.

SO IT'S IT'S BRAND NEW.

THE, THE COST TO PROCESS THAT AGAIN IS A ACTUAL COST APPLICATION.

SO IT'S A DEPOSIT AMOUNT AND WE WILL BILL STAFF TIME AGAINST IT.

IT'S THE SAME EXACT AMOUNT AS A TRACT DESIGN REVIEW.

SO WE'RE LOOKING AT IT AS AN EQUIVALENT AMOUNT OF STAFF TIME, WHETHER IT'S A STREAMLINED MINISTERIAL APPLICATION OR IT'S A APPLICATION THAT GOES TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION.

AND THEN IF WE GET THOSE APPLICATION TYPES IN THE FUTURE AND WE FIND AS WE PROCESS THEM THAT OUR DEPOSITS ARE A LITTLE HIGH, WE CAN THEN GO BACK AND REDUCE THE INITIAL DEPOSIT. BUT IT'S A IT'S GONE FROM 0 TO 100 BECAUSE IT'S A BRAND NEW APPLICATION.

THANK YOU NICK, I APPRECIATE THAT. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I WAS JUST GOING TO MAKE A QUICK COMMENT. YOU KNOW, I DON'T THINK ANY OF US LIKE THE IDEA OF INCREASING FEES, BUT TRULY THIS COMES DOWN TO JUST MATH COMES DOWN TO STAFF TIME.

IT COMES DOWN TO US DOING THE WORK WE'RE NOT GETTING.

YOU KNOW, THE CITY'S NOT GETTING WEALTHY OFF OF THIS. THIS IS TRULY COVERING THE COST OF PROVIDING THE SERVICE, YOU KNOW, TO THE QUESTION ABOUT, YOU KNOW, HERITAGE TREES AND WHATNOT.

IT'S TRULY JUST STAFF WORK AND CONSULTANTS WORK TO, TO MAKE SURE WE DO IT. SO WE'RE NOT, WE'RE NOT LIVING HIGH ON THE HOG ON THIS.

IT'S, YOU KNOW, WE JUST, WE JUST NEED TO COVER THE COST.

SO WITH THAT, UNLESS ANYBODY ELSE HAD ANYTHING ELSE, I'LL MOVE THE ITEM. ALL RIGHT.

DO WE HAVE A SECOND? SECOND.

ALL RIGHT. YOU GOT THOSE.

LOCK IN YOUR VOTES. MOTION PASSES FIVE ZERO.

ALL RIGHT, ITEM 16. I KNOW WE'VE GOT SOME INTEREST ON THIS ONE THIS EVENING.

[16. Introduce Ordinances updating various facilities fees, adopting a Development Impact Fee Nexus Study and adding park dedications and fees entitled: “An Ordinance of the City of Chino Hills, Amending Chapter 3.40 (Various Facilities Fees) of the Chino Hills Municipal Code, Repealing Resolution No. 2017R-012, Adopting a Development Impact Fee Nexus Study Including a Capital Improvement Plan, Adopting New Fire Facilities Fees and Increased General City Facilities, Traffic Facilities Impact, and Parks and Recreation Facilities Fees and Finding the Same to be Exempt From the Provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act”; and "An Ordinance of the City of Chino Hills, Repealing Ordinance No. 66, Repealing Chino Hills Municipal Code (CHMC) Chapter 16.86, Adding Article 14 (Park Dedications and Fees) Authorized by the Quimby Act to Chapter 4 of Appendix D of the CHMC, and Finding the Same to be Exempt From the Provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act” for first reading by titles only and waive further reading; and adopt resolution adjusting Quimby In-Lieu Fee pursuant to Section 83.041420, Appendix A of the Chino Hills Municipal Code and finding same to be exempt from California Environmental Quality Act]

I'LL LET YOU, CHERYL, READ THE PERTINENT PORTIONS OF THE AGENDA ITEM. I DON'T THINK WE HAVE TO READ ALL OF IT, BUT WHATEVER YOU CAN CONDENSE IT TO.

SO THIS ITEM IS TO INTRODUCE ORDINANCES, UPDATING VARIOUS FACILITIES FEES, ADOPTING A DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE NEXUS STUDY AND ADDING PARK DEDICATIONS AND FEES, AND ADOPTING A RESOLUTION ADJUSTING THE QUIMBY IN LIEU FEE.

THIS WILL BE PRESENTED BY FINANCE DIRECTOR BAHADUR.

ALL RIGHT. SO WHO IS GOING TO MAKE OUR PRESENTATION ON THIS? ME AGAIN. AGAIN. KRISTA.

ALL RIGHT. GOOD EVENING AGAIN.

ON AT THE SAME WORKSHOP THAT I PREVIOUSLY TALKED ABOUT ON OCTOBER 20TH.

OCTOBER 14TH. WE HELD A WORKSHOP TO DISCUSS IN DETAIL THE DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE NEXUS STUDY UPDATE, WHICH LOOKS AT HOW WE FUND THE PUBLIC FACILITIES NEEDED TO SUPPORT GROWTH THROUGH 2045. THE PURPOSE OF THIS STUDY IS TO ENSURE THAT NEW DEVELOPMENT IN CHINO HILLS PAYS ITS FAIR SHARE OF THE FACILITIES AND INFRASTRUCTURE REQUIRED TO SUPPORT IT.

THIS. THIS PROTECTS OUR EXISTING RESIDENTS FROM SHOULDERING THE COST OF GROWTH.

THE STUDY THAT WAS PREPARED BY WILLDAN FINANCIAL SERVICES EVALUATES FOUR MAJOR CATEGORIES OF FACILITIES GENERAL CITY FACILITIES, TRAFFIC FACILITIES, PARKS AND RECREATION, AND QUIMBY AND LIU AND FIRE FACILITIES TO CALCULATE THE FEES. THE STUDY USES UPDATED GROWTH FORECASTS THROUGH 2045.

OVER THIS PERIOD, WE EXPECT ROUGHLY 13,600 NEW RESIDENTS, ALONG WITH ADDITIONAL COMMERCIAL AND EMPLOYMENT GROWTH.

THIS TABLE SHOWS THE INTENSITY OF LAND USE REPRESENTED IN TERMS OF PEOPLE.

BASED ON THIS PROJECTED GROWTH, THE STUDY IDENTIFIES THE CITY'S FACILITY NEEDS AND DETERMINES THE MAXIMUM FEES THAT ARE LEGALLY DEFENSIBLE UNDER STATE LAW.

THE STUDY USES TWO COMMON METHODS OF DETERMINING NEW DEVELOPMENTS FAIR SHARE OF PLANNED FACILITIES COST, THE PLANNED FACILITIES METHOD,

[01:10:01]

AND THE EXISTING INVENTORY METHOD.

THE PLANNED FACILITIES METHOD LOOKS AT THE COST OF NEW FACILITIES BEING PLANNED AND DIVIDES IT BY THE DEMAND FOR NEW DEVELOPMENT.

THE EXISTING INVENTORY METHOD LOOKS AT THE FACILITIES THE CITY ALREADY HAS AND DIVIDES THEIR VALUE BY THE DEMAND FROM EXISTING DEVELOPMENT.

THE NEW DEVELOPMENT THEN PAYS ENOUGH TO MAINTAIN THE SAME LEVEL OF SERVICE THAT EXISTING RESIDENTS CURRENTLY ENJOY.

I'LL BE SHOWING YOU SOME COMPARISONS USING TOTAL FEES.

BECAUSE OUR CURRENT FEES ARE BASED ON AN AVERAGE COST PER DWELLING UNIT.

WITH THIS UPDATE, RESIDENTIAL FEES ARE CHANGING TO PER SQUARE FOOT BASIS IN ACCORDANCE WITH ASSEMBLY BILL 602.

THIS SLIDE SHOWS THE LIST OF PLANNED TRAFFIC FACILITIES NEEDED TO SERVE NEW DEVELOPMENT.

THE PROJECTS ARE BASED ON THE CITY'S APRIL 2024 TRAFFIC STUDY, WHICH WAS CONDUCTED AS PART OF THE GENERAL PLAN UPDATE.

THIS SLIDE SHOWS THE LIST OF PLANNED GENERAL CITY FACILITIES AND FIRE FACILITIES, ALONG WITH SHOWING THE PARKS IS EXISTING STANDARD OF 4.1 ACRES PER 1000 RESIDENTS.

I'LL TURN IT OVER TO OUR CITY MANAGER TO FURTHER EXPLAIN WHY WE'RE PROPOSING A NEW FIRE FACILITIES FEE. THANK YOU, MR..

MAYOR AND COUNCIL AND FOR THE PUBLIC.

WE JUST WANTED TO PAUSE ON THE FIRE FACILITIES FEE BECAUSE THERE WAS DISCUSSION AND QUESTIONS FROM THE COUNCIL DURING OUR WORKSHOP RELATED TO THE FIRE.

THIS NEW FIRE FACILITIES FEE.

AND I THINK IT WAS IMPORTANT FOR US TO POINT OUT THAT WE ARE CURRENTLY CONSTRUCTING.

AND BY WE I MEAN THE FIRE DISTRICT IS CURRENTLY CONSTRUCTING A NEW FIRE STATION 68.

A PART OF THAT AGREEMENT THAT BROUGHT THAT STATION INCLUDED A CONTRIBUTION FROM THE CITY OF CHINO HILLS OF $8 MILLION TOWARD THE CONSTRUCTION OF THAT FACILITY.

WHEN WE NEGOTIATED THAT AGREEMENT TO MAKE THAT PAYMENT.

THERE WAS A COMPONENT OF LAND THAT WAS CONTRIBUTED BY THE CITY.

THERE WAS ALSO A PIECE OF LAND THAT THE CITY RECEIVED.

BUT ONE OF THE OTHER PROVISIONS IN THAT AGREEMENT WAS TO BRING TO THE CITY COUNCIL A SPECIFIC DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE FOR FIRE FACILITIES, BECAUSE IN THE PAST, THE COUNCIL HAS ELECTED TO USE OTHER FUNDS TO SUPPORT FIRE ACTIVITY.

AND SO RATHER THAN USING EITHER CFDS OR GENERAL GENERAL CITY FACILITY FEES THAT COULD GO TO OTHER PURPOSES IN THE CITY, WE WANTED TO BRING FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION THIS FIRE DIFF OR FIRE DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE AS A VERY SPECIFIC ASSESSMENT TO NEW DEVELOPMENT FOR FIRE PURPOSES.

AND SO WHAT THIS FEE WOULD PAY FOR ARE THE VARIOUS EQUIPMENT AND POTENTIAL STRUCTURES LISTED HERE, BUT IT ALSO RECOVERS SOME OF THE $8 MILLION THAT WAS APPROPRIATED FOR THE FIRE STATION 68. SO JUST TO PUT IT INTO CONTEXT FOR THE RESIDENTS, AND I KNOW THE COUNCIL HAD QUESTIONS AND DISCUSSION ABOUT THIS, BUT SINCE THAT'S A NEW FEE, WE JUST WANTED TO TAKE A PAUSE TO POINT OUT THAT SPECIFIC FEE AS WE RUN THROUGH EVERYTHING MORE QUICKLY THAT HAPPENED AT THE AT THE WORKSHOP. OKAY.

KRISTA. OKAY, A QUESTION IF I COULD.

YEAH. GOING BACK TO FIRE FACILITY.

OUR AGREEMENT WHEN WE BECAME BECAME A CITY, WE WERE OBLIGATED TO PAY MONIES THAT WE RECEIVED FROM THE COUNTY TO THE FIRE DISTRICT.

IS THAT CORRECT? ANY MONIES THAT WERE GENERATED FROM THE COUNTY? YES. SO SO THE BEFORE WE BECAME A CITY, THE COUNTY WAS COLLECTING FUNDS, MUCH LIKE WE'RE DISCUSSING TONIGHT TO BENEFIT THE FIRE FUNCTION, I'LL CALL IT. WE HAD AN EXISTING FIRE DISTRICT.

SO WHEN THE CITY BECAME A CITY, ANY DOLLARS THAT THE COUNTY HAD COLLECTED FOR THAT PURPOSE, THE CITY WAS REQUIRED TO USE IT FOR THAT PURPOSE.

BUT I THINK THE DISTINCTION THAT COUNCILMEMBER MARQUEZ AND THE COUNCIL HAVE MADE OVER THE YEARS IS THE CONTRIBUTION THAT THE CITY HAS MADE, HAS EXCEEDED THAT ORIGINAL COLLECTION FROM THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

SO BASED ON OUR INTERPRETATION OF THE LAFCO DOCUMENTS, WE HAVE MET THOSE REQUIREMENTS.

THE COUNCIL MAY ELECT TO CONTINUE TO SUPPORT FIRE ACTIVITIES, BUT THIS IS A NEW MECHANISM TO PAY FOR THAT.

I'M REALLY HAPPY THAT WE'RE DOING THE DIFF PROGRAM. I THINK IT'S GREAT, BUT I DO HAVE A QUESTION PERTAINING TO FIRE FACILITIES.

HOW DID WE GET INTO FIRE APPARATUS LIKE AN ENGINE AND A TRUCK? HOW IS THAT CONSIDERED FIRE FACILITIES? AND THEN MY OTHER QUESTION BACK TO THIS IS THIS IF THEY DO GET A FIRE TRUCK AND A LADDER TRUCK, DOES IT HAVE TO STAY IN CHINO HILLS, OR CAN THEY USE THIS MONEY FOR SOMEWHERE ELSE, LIKE IN CHINO OR, OR IN THE COUNTY AREA? SO I'M GOING TO DEFER TO KRISTA, WHO HAD THE DIRECT CONVERSATIONS WITH FIRE

[01:15:01]

SO THAT WAS REMOVED. SO THIS IS FOR THAT ONE WHICH IS TO BENEFIT NEW GROWTH.

AND THEN THE LADDER TRUCK WOULD BE NEEDED IF DEVELOPMENT HAPPENS OVER HERE IN THE SHOPS TOO. IF A MULTI LEVEL I DON'T KNOW HOW HIGH, BUT IT WOULD BE NEEDED TO FACILITATE THAT.

SO THAT MIGHT BE ON THEM.

I DON'T. THAT'S WHY I WAS TRYING TO RECALL IF THEY SAID IT WOULD STAY HERE, BUT IT JUST WANTED CLARIFICATION. SO IF MONEY CAN BE USED FOR APPARATUS IT'S NOT FOR A FACILITY. SO IT CAN'T BE USED FOR FOR APPARATUS.

YES. DOES IT DOES IT HAVE TO STAY IN THE CITY? IT NEEDS TO BE FOR THE CITY PURPOSE.

LIKE THAT'S WHY THEY'RE PURCHASING IT. WELL, THIS IS ACTUALLY FOR THE DISTRICT. YEAH. BUT I MEAN MY MY ANSWER WOULD BE YES.

NOW WITH THAT ANSWER OFTEN WHEN THERE ARE CALLS YOU KNOW, THEIR EQUIPMENT FROM CHINO MAY COME OVER HERE TO ASSIST US.

YES. AND MUTUAL AID AND WHATNOT. BUT OTHERWISE, YEAH, IF THEY'RE TAKING MONEY FROM CITY DEVELOPERS, THEN YES, THAT EQUIPMENT NEEDS TO BE PRIMARILY IN THE CITY EXCEPT FOR WHEN IT GOES OUT OF MUTUAL AID, BECAUSE I DID LOOK AT THE AGREEMENT AND THAT'S NOT SPECIFIED.

SO IF WE CAN SORT OF TIGHTEN THAT UP IN THE FUTURE, I APPRECIATE THAT. TO CLARIFY, I THINK WHAT WHAT I'M HEARING IS YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT ANY EQUIPMENT IS LOCATED AT A FIRE STATION IN CHINO HILLS, RECOGNIZING THAT IT MAY BE DEPLOYED WITHIN THE REGION, BUT THAT'S ME. SO THAT'S PERFECT.

YEAH, WE'LL MAKE THAT DISTINCTION. OKAY. OKAY.

ALL RIGHT. I HAVE A QUICK QUESTION. YES.

DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN WE HAD THE AD HOC COMMITTEE WHEN WE WERE NEGOTIATING FOR THE FIRE STATION, WAS IT PETER AND YOU? RAY. YEAH. I THINK THAT AS FAR AS IT GOES UNDER THIS, WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT RIGHT NOW, DO YOU THINK THAT THAT AD HOC COMMITTEE SHOULD RECONVENE WITH FIRE? IT SEEMS LIKE THERE'S STILL A LOT OF UNANSWERED QUESTIONS IN GRAY AREAS ABOUT FUNDING. AT LEAST THAT'S HOW I'M SEEING IT.

IT WOULD BE NICE TO BE ABLE TO CLARIFY THIS FOR FUTURE, BECAUSE RIGHT NOW WE HAVE AN AGREEMENT WITH 60. WE GOT THROUGH THE, YOU KNOW, THIS YOU KNOW, THE FIRE, NEW FIRE STATION.

BUT MOVING FORWARD, THERE'S, I THINK, THINGS THAT NEED TO BE CLARIFIED THAT MAYBE IF THE AD HOC MEETS WITH THEIR AD HOC AND JUST WITH THE CITY MANAGER, THAT'S A GREAT IDEA. SURE.

OKAY. GOOD JOB. ALL RIGHT.

CONTINUE. ALL RIGHT. TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF HOW THE PROPOSED FEES WILL AFFECT REAL PROJECTS, WE'VE PREPARED SOME COMPARISON CALCULATIONS USING RECENT BUILDING PERMITS.

THIS EXAMPLE USES A BUILDING PERMIT FOR A SINGLE FAMILY SUBDIVISION IN SHADY VIEW.

THE PERMIT SHOWS AN $18,425 INCREASE, LARGELY DUE TO THE RISE IN THE QUIMBY AND LIEU FEE, WHICH HAS NOT INCREASED SINCE 1998.

KRISTA, TO THAT POINT, WHY DID IT TAKE US SO LONG TO RAISE THESE? BECAUSE IT'S A LOT TO JUST DUMP AT ONE TIME.

IF WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT, YOU KNOW, US BACKFILLING, LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING AND ALL THESE OTHER THINGS, WHY IS THIS JUST NOW COMING UP? SO AS FAR AS BEFORE I GOT HERE, I DO NOT KNOW.

CONVENIENT, BUT NO. BUT I CAME IN WHEN THEY WERE ALREADY UNDERWAY WITH THE LAST STUDY, AND IT WAS BROUGHT UP THAT WE NEED TO LOOK AT QUIMBY.

SO I DID MAKE SURE IT GOT INCLUDED IN THIS ONE SO IT WOULD GET ADDRESSED.

OKAY. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME THAT WE ADDRESSED QUIMBY FEES? 1998. 1998. COOL. I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL.

THAT'S AWESOME. THAT'S FOR YOU.

PERCENTAGE. THE PERCENTAGE OF INCREASE TO ME IS NOT A FACTOR.

IT'S HOW WE COMPARE WITH OTHER LOCAL CITIES.

TO ME, IT'S MORE OF A FACTOR THAN THE PERCENTAGE OF INCREASE BECAUSE IT'S BEEN ALMOST 20 YEARS. YEAH.

OR MORE 2528 YEARS. YEAH.

THAT'S OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

GOOD TO KNOW. ALL RIGHT.

MOVING RIGHT ALONG. ALL RIGHT.

THIS SLIDE SHOWS THE COMPARISON FOR A NEW CUSTOM HOME, WHICH REFLECTS A $16,857 INCREASE, WITH A LARGE PART OF THE INCREASE COMING FROM THE PARKS AND REC FEE INCREASE.

THIS SLIDE SHOWS A COMPARISON OF A COMMERCIAL SINGLE TENANT BUILDING, WHICH REFLECTS A $23,965 INCREASE, WITH A LARGE PART OF THE INCREASE COMING FROM THE TRAFFIC FEE INCREASE.

THIS SLIDE SHOWS THE COMPARISON OF A 28 UNIT MULTIFAMILY SUBDIVISION, WHICH REFLECTS A $17,600 INCREASE.

[01:20:03]

AND THIS SLIDE SHOWS THE COMPARISON FOR A DETACHED ADU, WHICH REFLECTS A $432 DECREASE.

SO PART OF THE WORK WILL THEN COLLECT A DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE SCHEDULES FROM BREA.

CHINO, ONTARIO, AND MONTCLAIR AND CALCULATED THE FEES FOR FIVE PROTOTYPE PROJECTS.

SOME OF THE CITIES CHARGE IMPACT FEES THAT VARY BY LOCATION, SO THE TABLE RANGES SHOW THE RANGE OF POTENTIAL IMPACT FEES, SO SOME HAVE A LOW AND A HIGH, DEPENDING ON WHERE IN THE CITY.

THE FIRST EXAMPLE HERE IS A SINGLE FAMILY HOME AT 4086FT².

THE YELLOW BAR REFLECTS OUR CURRENT FEES AND THE GREEN BAR REFLECTS THE PROPOSED FEES.

THIS SLIDE SHOWS A 20 MULTIFAMILY UNIT TOTALING 24,980FT².

ONCE AGAIN, YELLOW IS THE CURRENT AND GREEN ARE THE PROPOSED FEES.

THIS SLIDE SHOWS A COMMERCIAL RETAIL UNIT AT 950FT².

AND THIS SLIDE SHOWS A BUSINESS PARK AT 50,000FT².

LASTLY THIS. THIS SLIDE SHOWS AN INDUSTRIAL LIKE WAREHOUSE AT 100,000FT².

SO TO IMPLEMENT THE STUDY, THIS SLIDE SHOWS THE CHANGES WE'RE PROPOSING TO. CHAPTER 3.40 OF THE CHINO HILLS MUNICIPAL CODE.

WE UPDATED DEFINITIONS TO REFERENCE THE 2025 NEXUS STUDY AND ANY FEE RELATED TERMS. ADDED A SECTION ESTABLISHING THE FIRE FACILITIES FEE.

RENAMED THE TRAFFIC SECTION TO THE TRAFFIC FACILITIES IMPACT FEE.

CLARIFIED THAT NONRESIDENTIAL NEW CONSTRUCTION WILL BE CHARGED ON A PER 1000 SQUARE FOOT BASIS, AND CLARIFIED THAT RESIDENTIAL NEW CONSTRUCTION WILL BE CHARGED ON A SQUARE FOOT BASIS REQUIRED BY AB 602.

WE ALSO ADDED LANGUAGE EXPLAINING HOW ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS WILL BE CHARGED.

UPDATED TABLE ONE TO REFLECT THE PROPOSED FEES AND THE MOST RECENT CPI ADJUSTMENT RATES FOR OTHER FEES. WE REVISED THE SECTION SPECIFYING WHEN FEES ARE DUE AND REMOVE THE PARKS AND RECREATION FEE CREDITS SECTION.

THIS SLIDE SUMMARIZES THE PROPOSED QUIMBY RELATED CHANGES TO THE CHINO HILLS MUNICIPAL CODE. WE REMOVED THE AREA EXEMPTION.

REMOVE THE PARKS AND REC COMMISSION FROM THE DECISION MAKING PROCESS.

REMOVE THE CHINO HILLS SPECIFIC PLAN.

INFRASTRUCTURE FINANCING REFERENCE.

ADDED THE IN. ADDED IN THE CREDIT FOR CONSTRUCTING FACILITIES CONSISTENT WITH CHINO HILLS MUNICIPAL CODE 3.40.180 AND INCREASE THE ALLOWABLE CREDIT FOR PRIVATE FACILITIES FROM 25 TO 50%. WITH ALL THAT IN MIND, I'VE LISTED SOME POTENTIAL POLICY CONSIDERATIONS RELATED TO THE PARKS AND RECREATION FACILITIES FEE AND THE QUIMBY AND LIEU FEES, AND I'LL TURN IT OVER TO COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR NICK TO GO INTO MORE DETAIL. SO THE COUNCIL HAS RECEIVED SEVERAL LETTERS FROM BUILDING INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, AS WELL AS LENNAR AND WARMINGTON HOMES, REQUESTING A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT ITEMS. ONE WOULD BE TO GRANDFATHER ALL PROJECTS WHERE THERE'S A CURRENT APPROVED TENTATIVE MAP. AS LONG AS THAT TENTATIVE MAP IS FINALIZED BY NOVEMBER 1ST OF 2028.

THE SECOND REQUEST WAS TO PHASE IN THE PARK AND QUIMBY IN LIEU FEES OVER A FOUR YEAR PERIOD. SO THE FIRST YEAR WOULD BE 25% OF THE INCREASE, THEN 50, THEN 75 WORKING UP TO THE 100% OF THE FEE IN JANUARY FOR IMPLEMENTED JANUARY 1ST, 2029. SO SOME THINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN, WHEN LOOKING AT IS THAT THE CITY DOES HAVE 44 PARKS. THE QUIMBY FEES CAN BE USED TO BUILD NEW PARKS.

THEY CAN ALSO BE USED FOR EXTENSIVE REHABILITATION OF PARKS THAT SERVE THE SUBDIVISIONS, WHERE THE FEE IS PAID.

AND A GOOD CHUNK OF HER NEW DEVELOPMENT IS IN AREAS WHERE THERE IS VACANT LAND THAT'S BEEN ZONED FOR DEVELOPMENT SINCE BEFORE INCORPORATION.

BUT IT JUST HAS NEVER DEVELOPED.

BUT THERE'S OTHER ADJACENT PROPERTIES THAT ARE DEVELOPED AND THERE ARE PARKS ADJACENT TO

[01:25:01]

THEM. SO THERE ARE EXPENSES THAT THE CITY IS GOING TO HAVE WHEN IT COMES TO MAINTAINING OUR PARKS GOING INTO THE FUTURE.

ADDITIONALLY, THE STUDY IS BASED UPON THE EXISTING STANDARD.

SO AS WE ADD POPULATION TO THE CITY, THE WAY THE FEE IS CALCULATED IS THAT WE'LL BE ABLE TO MAINTAIN THE SAME LEVEL OF PARK, AMENITY AND PARK SERVICE TO THE NEW RESIDENTS AS THE EXISTING RESIDENTS ENJOY.

AND SO THAT ACCOUNTS FOR A CHUNK OF THE FEE BECAUSE IT'S BASED UPON CURRENT LAND VALUES AND CURRENT CONSTRUCTION COSTS.

SO GRANDFATHERING THE PROJECTS THAT HAVE AN APPROVED TENTATIVE MAP.

THOSE ARE THOSE ARE REAL COSTS, RIGHT? THAT'S LOST REVENUE TO THE CITY.

THAT WOULD NOT BE GOING INTO THE PROGRAM TO PAY FOR THOSE FUTURE PARK IMPROVEMENTS UNTIL SUCH TIME AS THOSE PIECES ARE BUILT OUT.

AND THEN THE PHASING AGAIN, PHASING GIVES US A PORTION OF THE REVENUE.

BUT AS THOSE PROJECTS ARE BUILT, WE'RE WE'RE STILL LOSING THE FULL AMOUNT OF REVENUE. AND SO THOSE DOLLARS THAT ARE NEEDED TO BUILD THOSE FUTURE FACILITIES HAVE TO COME FROM OTHER SOURCES. THEY WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO COME FROM THE PARK FUND, BUT THEY MIGHT HAVE TO COME FROM CFDS OR FROM FROM THE GENERAL FUND TO TO OFFSET THAT.

WE, WE'D, WE'D HAVE TO REALLY CRUNCH SOME NUMBERS AND SOME OF THESE ARE BASED UPON WHAT WE THINK THE TIMING IS OF PROJECTS.

BUT IN TERMS OF THE GRANDFATHERING, WE'RE PROBABLY BASED UPON THE EXISTING TENTATIVE MAPS THAT HAVE BEEN APPROVED BY PLANNING COMMISSION OR COUNCIL AS OF THIS DATE. ASSUMING THAT THEY ALL GET FINALIZED BY THE PROPOSED NOVEMBER 1ST, 2028 DEADLINE, WE'D BE LOOKING AT BETWEEN 8 AND $9 MILLION THAT WE WOULD BE GIVING UP IN FEE COLLECTION IF WE WERE TO JUST CONTINUE COLLECTING THE CURRENT FEE.

VERSUS THE NEW FEE. OKAY.

THANK YOU. OKAY. WHY DID WE DECIDE ON 2028? THAT'S THE PROPOSAL THAT BIA PUT FORWARD.

GOTCHA. THEY PUSHED IT OUT FOR YEARS.

GOTCHA. YEAH. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OF STAFF? THIS IS GOING TO BE A PUBLIC HEARING, RIGHT? YES IT IS. SO IF THERE'S NO OTHER QUESTIONS OF STAFF. NOT DONE.

OKAY. SORRY. JUST THE RECOMMENDATION.

SO TONIGHT WE ASK THAT YOU CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING AND TAKE PUBLIC TESTIMONY AND ADOPT AN ORDINANCE AMENDING MUNICIPAL CODE.

CHAPTER 3.40, REPEALING RESOLUTION NUMBER 2017, R 20 OR 12. ADOPTING THE DIFF NEXUS STUDY, INCLUDING A CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM, ADOPTING A NEW FIRE FACILITIES FEE AND INCREASED GENERAL CITY FACILITIES, TRAFFIC FACILITIES, IMPACT AND PARKS AND RECREATION FACILITIES FEES.

ADOPT AN ORDINANCE APPEALING ORDINANCE NUMBER 66 REPEALING CHINO HILLS MUNICIPAL CODE, CHAPTER 16.86 AND ADDING ARTICLE 14 PARK DEDICATIONS AND FEES AUTHORIZED BY THE QUIMBY ACT TO CHAPTER FOUR OF APPENDIX D OF THE CHINO HILLS MUNICIPAL CODE AND ADOPT A RESOLUTION ADJUSTING THE QUIMBY IN LIEU FEE, ALONG WITH PROVIDING STAFF WITH DIRECTION ON.

IF THEY WANT TO ENTERTAIN ANY GRANDFATHERING OR PHASING TO BRING BACK AT A FUTURE MEETING.

ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? A QUESTION I KNOW THE ORIGINAL AGREEMENT FOR THE STATION 68.

THIS WAS SIGNED IN 2021.

I'M MISTAKEN. SO I GUESS EVERY YEAR WE'RE SUPPOSED TO PUT MONEY ASIDE FOR THE DIFF.

DO WE KNOW WHAT'S IN THAT ACCOUNT RIGHT NOW OR WOULD YOU HAVE THAT INFORMATION. IT'S THE TALK ABOUT THE GENERAL CITY FACILITIES FUND THAT WE PAID FOR OUT OF THE FIRE STATION.

IT'S ABOUT $1 MILLION NEGATIVE RIGHT NOW.

WE STILL HAVE $1 MILLION THAT WE NEED TO CAPTURE FROM DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES TO PAY BACK THE FUND FOR THAT PAYMENT THAT WE MADE TO THE FIRE STATION.

[01:30:02]

SOUNDS GOOD. THANK YOU. AND I ALSO JUST WANT TO SAY THAT WE ALSO HAVE OUR CONSULTANTS FROM WILLDAN IN THE AUDIENCE.

CARLOS VILLARREAL AND JAMES EDISON IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THEM.

OKAY. ANY QUESTIONS OF THEM AT THIS POINT? ALL RIGHT. SEEING NO OTHER QUESTIONS OF THE OF THE COUNCIL, I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND OFFICIALLY OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.

CHERYL REQUESTS TO SPEAK ON THIS MATTER.

WE HAVE TWO SPEAKERS. THE FIRST SPEAKER IS JEFF SMITH.

GOOD EVENING, CARLOS. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR, HONORABLE COUNCIL.

I AM NOT JEFF SMITH, BUT HE'S A MEMBER OF OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS.

SO IF IT WOULD BE OKAY.

YOU'VE CHANGED A LOT. AND I AM OKAY TO STOP THE CLOCK FOR A MOMENT.

MAYOR, SO THAT I CAN JUST ASK IF I CAN COMMENT FIRST.

WOULD THAT BE OKAY? ANY ISSUES WITH THAT? NO. I CAN HAVE HIM GO FIRST.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT. CARLOS RODRIGUEZ, THANK YOU SO MUCH.

CARLOS RODRIGUEZ, CHIEF POLICY OFFICER WITH THE BUILDING INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. WE FULLY RECOGNIZE THE IMPORTANCE OF MAINTAINING HIGH QUALITY PARKS AND RECREATIONAL SPACES FOR BOTH CURRENT AND FUTURE RESIDENTS.

HOWEVER, WE WOULD RESPECTFULLY REQUEST EITHER A CONTINUANCE TODAY ON THE PARK FEE ONLY TO ALLOW TIME TO DISCUSS THE IMPLICATIONS OF OUR REQUEST FOR AN EXEMPTION AND A PHASE IN, AS WELL AS TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THE ASSUMPTIONS OF THE 8 TO $9 MILLION NUMBER THAT WAS JUST HIGHLIGHTED, WITHOUT REALLY ANY DETAILS OF THE ASSUMPTIONS ON THE SIZE OF THE HOMES, HOW MANY HOMES WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.

SO JUST THAT ALONE, WE WOULD SAY WOULD MERIT MOVING FORWARD WITH ALL THE OTHER FEES THAT WE HAVE NO OTHER COMMENT ON TO, TO, TO CATCH UP WITH THE NEEDS THAT YOU HAVE ON USER FEES EARLIER AND ON THE DIFF.

BUT SPECIFICALLY, WE RECOMMEND TWO APPROACHES ADOPT A NARROWLY DEFINED TIME LIMITED GRANDFATHER EXEMPTION, AS WAS MENTIONED EARLIER, AND A FOUR YEAR PHASE IN AS.

ALSO, I DON'T WANT TO BE REDUNDANT WITH MY ONE MINUTE AND 47 SECONDS LEFT.

LET ME HIGHLIGHT. THERE WAS NO DISCUSSION TODAY ON THE IMPACT TO THE HOUSING MARKET.

NO ANALYSIS ON THAT, NO DISCUSSION TODAY OR TONIGHT.

WE WOULD JUST HIGHLIGHT THAT A 449% INCREASE FOR THE SINGLE FAMILY HOMES AND A 290% INCREASE, ULTIMATELY, ARE ALL GOING TO BE PASSED ON TO THE ASPIRING HOME BUYER. ON PAGE THREE OF OUR LETTER THAT WE SHARED WITH YOU.

YOU WILL NOTICE THAT CHINO HILLS HAS ACHIEVED APPROXIMATELY LESS THAN 5%, LESS THAN 5% OF THE REGIONAL HOUSING NEEDS ASSESSMENT GOALS.

AND WE ARE HERE AT THE MIDWAY POINT OF THE ARENA CYCLE.

IMPOSING SUCH A STEEP FEE INCREASE NOW RISKS WORSENING THE AFFORDABILITY CRISIS AND FURTHER JEOPARDIZING THE CITY'S ABILITY TO MEET ITS HOUSING TARGETS.

WE WOULD ASK THE COUNCIL, RESPECTFULLY TO EXERCISE ITS LOCAL CONTROL.

WE HEAR SO MUCH ABOUT WHAT SACRAMENTO DOES AS FAR AS MANDATES.

WE ARE SENSITIVE TO THAT.

BUT HERE TONIGHT, YOU HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO EITHER CONTINUE THE PARK FEE, WHICH IS AN EXTRAORDINARY INCREASE, ALMOST 450%.

AND ALLOW US TO TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT A A BALANCED, A LOCAL DRIVEN SOLUTION, ONE THAT PROVIDES FOR FUTURE PARK INVESTMENT WHILE PROTECTING HOUSING AFFORDABILITY, SUPPORTING WORKING FAMILIES, AND MAINTAINING PROGRESS TOWARDS CHINO'S RIJINO OBLIGATIONS.

I WOULD SAY THE IDEA THAT WE LOOK AT OTHER CITIES IS NOT THE BEST WAY TO LOOK AT THINGS.

YOU HAVE A DIFFERENT CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN. YOU HAVE A DIFFERENT ALL, EVERYTHING IN YOUR CITY IS DIFFERENT.

SO LOOKING AT AN INCREASE FOR THE MERITS OF, WELL, WE WANT TO BE LIKE ONTARIO OR THESE OTHER CITIES.

THEY ALL HAVE DIFFERENT CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLANS. THEY ALL HAVE DIFFERENT PARK IMPROVEMENT PLANS. SO IT'S IT'S NOT A ONE SIZE FITS ALL.

AGAIN, WE WOULD RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR CONSIDERATION ON A BALANCED, PHASED APPROACH, AN EXEMPTION IN PARTICULAR FOR THOSE PROJECTS THAT THIS COULD BE REALLY EXTREMELY DETRIMENTAL.

SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.

I WILL NOTE THAT WE APPRECIATE THE TIME WITH NICK AND KRISTA.

WE DID SPEAK AT LENGTH WITH HIM.

I WASN'T ABLE TO MAKE THE WORKSHOP.

I WAS UNDER THE WEATHER.

BUT I APPRECIATE BEING ABLE TO COMMENT TODAY, AND WE HOPE THAT WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO MOVE FORWARD ON ALL THE OTHER FEES AND REALLY LOOK AT A BALANCED APPROACH ON THIS PARK FEE.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. OKAY.

AND POINT OF CLARIFICATION I THINK WE'VE DISCUSSED THE THREE MINUTE LIMIT DOES NOT

[01:35:06]

APPLY IN A PUBLIC HEARING.

COMMENTS BY THE APPLICANT.

IS THAT CORRECT? NO. IF YOU'RE GOING TO DO THAT, IT'S GOING TO BE FOR ALL THE SPEAKERS.

I'M SORRY. THERE IS NO CONSISTENT.

OH WELL. YEAH. OKAY. EVERYBODY, IF YOU WANT TO IF YOU WANT TO ALLOW MORE TIME FOR EVERY SPEAKER, THEN I WOULD JUST SET THAT NUMBER OF MINUTES.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT. SO WE'RE GOING TO HEAR FROM LENNAR AT THIS POINT FROM JEFF FIRST BEFORE WE DO ANYTHING ELSE. BEN. YEAH, I'LL JUST CLARIFY.

THE MAYOR HAS THE YOU KNOW, JURISDICTION TO SET A DIFFERENT TIME FOR A PUBLIC HEARING LIKE THIS.

IT JUST SO HAPPENS I KNOW THAT I WAS WATCHING WHILE MR. RODRIGUEZ WAS TALKING.

HE HAD THE FIRST THREE MINUTES.

HE TALKED FOR ROUGHLY ANOTHER MINUTE PAST THAT.

I WOULD JUST SAY, BRANDON, IF YOU CAN, ON THE FLY, SET THE TIMER FOR FOUR MINUTES.

THAT WAY WE'LL MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE KEEPING EVERYTHING EQUAL.

BUT ALSO FOR THE PUBLIC, THE COUNCIL WILL LIKELY HAVE QUESTIONS OF EITHER THE PRESENTERS OR STAFF.

AND THAT'S ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU TO CALL THEM BACK UP AND TALK MORE ABOUT EITHER PROPOSALS OR TO GET CLARIFICATION.

BUT JUST SO THAT WE KEEP IT FAIR, WE WOULD OFFER THAT ANY OTHER SPEAKER ALSO RECEIVE FOUR MINUTES. ALL RIGHT.

NO PROBLEM THERE. EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS THAT.

ALL RIGHT. OKAY. SO WE'RE HAVING JEFF COME UP WITH LEONARD, IS THAT CORRECT? I AM NOT CARLOS. SO I'M JEFF SMITH, VICE PRESIDENT OF FORWARD PLANNING AT LENNAR HOMES. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL.

I'D LIKE TO REITERATE THE POINTS THAT CARLOS MADE.

AND IN OUR LETTER AND ALSO THE LETTER THAT WE PUT IN WRITING THAT'S AS PART OF THE RECORD.

AND THAT POINT IS THAT WE HAVE AN ATTAINABLE HOUSING CRISIS THAT'S HAPPENING IN OUR STATE, IN OUR COUNTY, IN THE CITY.

FAMILIES UNABLE TO STAY IN THE CITY.

THEY GREW UP CHILDREN UNABLE TO, TO AFFORD HOMES.

IT IS TRULY A CRISIS. AND WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR IS FOR THE BUILDER COMMUNITY AND OUR LOCAL AGENCIES TO PARTNER, TO FIND WAYS TO REDUCE THE COST OF HOUSING.

AND I DO WANT TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT OF PERSPECTIVE ABOUT WHAT WE'RE DOING AT LENNAR.

75% OF OUR HOMEBUYERS ROUGHLY EVERY WEEK, IT'S A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT, BUT ON AVERAGE, 75% OF OUR HOME BUYERS ARE FIRST TIME HOMEBUYERS.

AS YOU KNOW, THE RESALE MARKET IS PRETTY LOCKED UP.

PEOPLE STAY IN THEIR HOMES WITH THEIR 2.5% OR 3% MORTGAGE RATE.

SO THERE'S THE OPPORTUNITY TO BUY A NEW HOME IS GENERALLY AVAILABLE TO THOSE FIRST TIME HOME BUYERS, BUT THEY CAN'T AFFORD IT.

AND ONE THING THAT WE'RE DOING IS BUYING DOWN MORTGAGE RATES TO EXTREME LEVELS, DOWN TO EVEN IN SOME CASES, A 3.99% MORTGAGE.

AND THOSE COMES THAT COMES WITH EXTREME COSTS.

AND I CAN SPEAK FOR THE BUILDER COMMUNITY THAT WE'RE FACING MUCH HARDSHIP WITH HAVING TO DO THAT TO, TO GET PEOPLE INTO HOMES.

SO EVERY DOLLAR COUNTS IS KIND OF THE POINT THAT I'M MAKING THAT WE NEED THE ENTIRE COST STACK TO COME DOWN SO PEOPLE CAN AFFORD A HOME IN THE INLAND EMPIRE.

SO THIS FEE INCREASE, PARTICULARLY THE PARKS FEE, IS A VERY DRAMATIC INCREASE.

AND WE DO RECOGNIZE THAT THE CITY DOES NEED TO HAVE QUALITY PARKS.

WE RECOGNIZE THAT THAT'S IMPORTANT FOR US TO AS A BUILDER.

AND I THINK THIS IS WHERE WE NEED TO FIND THE RIGHT BALANCE.

AND THAT'S WHY I THINK THE PROPOSAL THAT WE'VE PUT FORTH MAKES A LOT OF SENSE FOR PROJECTS THAT HAVE THEIR APPROVED MAPS.

THEY HAVE THEIR CAPITAL SECURED.

THEY HAVE THEIR BUSINESS PLANS SET UP.

IT IS A VERY BIG HARDSHIP TO ACCEPT A FEE OF 11,000 PLUS MORE PER HOME, AND ALSO PHASING IN THE FEE INCREASE OVER TIME CAN HELP REDUCE THAT BLUNT OF THE FEE INCREASE. SO WE DO APPRECIATE YOUR CONSIDERATION OF THOSE TWO ITEMS AND I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME HERE. I'M ALSO AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS. AND THANK YOU AGAIN.

THANK YOU. ANY OTHERS? NO. THAT IS FINAL SPEAKER.

ALL RIGHT. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE OUT IN THE AUDIENCE THAT HAS ANY COMMENTS ABOUT THIS? YES. IF YOU COULD JUST IDENTIFY YOURSELF ONLY.

SO WE HAVE AN IDEA OF WHERE YOU'RE COMING FROM.

HI, MY NAME IS DEBORAH MATTSON.

I'M A 23 YEAR RESIDENT OF SUMMIT RANCH IN CARBON CANYON.

AND I'M JUST REITERATING WHAT I'VE HEARD TODAY FROM THE DEVELOPERS.

MY OWN CHILDREN CAN'T AFFORD TO LIVE IN CHINO HILLS.

[01:40:04]

MY ONE OF MY SONS CAN'T EVEN AFFORD TO MOVE OUT OF THE HOME BECAUSE THE COST OF APARTMENTS AND HOUSING IS SO HIGH AND WHATEVER WE CAN DO TO HELP KEEP HOUSING MORE AFFORDABLE WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED.

AND I'M, I'M, I THINK WE'RE ALL WILLING TO HAVE A LITTLE LESS THAN IDEAL PARKS IN ORDER TO HAVE AFFORDABLE HOUSING.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

ALL RIGHT. IF I CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND BRING IT UP HERE FOR DISCUSSION, IF WE NEED CLARIFICATION FROM EITHER THE COMPANY OR THE COMPANIES THAT HAVE SPOKEN, CAN WE ASK THEM QUESTIONS WITHOUT HAVING TO REOPEN THEM? HEARING WHAT PROCEDURALLY SHOULD WE DO IT? SHOULD WE DO IT THAT WAY? OKAY, SO I'M GOING TO OFFICIALLY CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. BRING IT UP HERE.

COUNCIL QUESTIONS OF STAFF OR QUESTIONS OF THE COMPANIES REPRESENTED.

I WOULD STILL LIKE TO FOCUS ON WHAT I SAID EARLIER HAVING TO DO WITH CONSISTENCY OF FEES. IF WE PUNTED THIS FOR A MONTH OR SO TO INVESTIGATE, CARLOS BROUGHT UP, THAT MAY NOT BE EQUAL.

BUT HE RAISES A GOOD POINT.

AS FAR AS, DO THEY HAVE THE SAME WAY OF DETERMINING HOW THOSE FEES ARE UTILIZED COMPARED TO HOW WE UTILIZE THOSE FEES OR OR THE PROCESS? IS THAT SOMETHING THAT WE CAN LOOK INTO? BECAUSE I THINK WE DO NEED TO RAISE OUR FEES MORE, A LITTLE MORE QUICKLY, BECAUSE WE NEED TO MAKE UP FOR SOME LOST TIME, KEEPING IN MIND THE AFFORDABILITY FACTOR AND BUDGETING HOW THEY'VE GONE THROUGH THEIR BUDGETING OVER THE NEXT FEW YEARS TO ANTICIPATE HOW THEIR HOMES ARE GOING TO BE PRICED SO THAT THERE IS AN EQUAL WEIGHING THERE.

BUT I AM STILL CONCERNED THAT WE HAVEN'T DONE MUCH ABOUT THIS IN SO LONG THAT WE DO NEED TO CATCH UP. SO TO ME, THE PERCENTAGE INCREASE IS NOT AS BIG OF A FACTOR AS WHERE DO WE STAND WITH OUR LOCAL CITIES IN COMPARISON? SO THE BIG, BIG QUESTION IS WHAT IS THAT COMPARISON? ARE THE WAY WE ANTICIPATE THOSE FEES? ARE THEY COMPARABLE TO WHAT THE OTHER CITIES, LOCAL CITIES HAVE DONE THAT TO ME, THAT'S THE BIG QUESTION.

BEN. IT LOOKED LIKE YOU WANTED TO COMMENT ON THAT OR NOT.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THAT'S WHY I'M LOOKING AT NICK AND KRISTA.

IT'S GOOD FOR ME. I THINK I'M OKAY WITH GRANDFATHERING EXEMPTION AND WITH A PHASE IN.

I DON'T LIKE THE IDEA OF IT GOING TO 2028.

I THINK TO 2027 I THINK IS FAIR.

YOU KNOW, OUR, YOU KNOW, OUR BUILDERS HAVE PUT TIME IN.

IF WE CAN'T HAMMER THIS THING OUT BY 2027, THEN SHAME ON ALL OF US.

AND THEN FOR A FOUR YEAR PHASE IN, I DON'T THINK I CAN GO WITH THAT, BUT I THINK I CAN GO WITH A THREE YEAR.

SO JUST IN YOU KNOW, IN MY OPINION, I THINK IT'S IT'S A REASONABLE KIND OF APPROACH TO IT BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, WE DO HAVE FOLKS THAT HAVE MADE A SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENT IN THE COMMUNITY AND DON'T WANT TO MAKE THEM CHANGE HORSES MIDSTREAM. BUT, YOU KNOW, I THINK IT'S A FAIR WAY, BUT I'M JUST THROWING IT OUT THERE.

OKAY. RAY. SURE. YOU KNOW, BRIAN, THAT'S A GREAT IDEA AS FAR AS FOR GRANDFATHERING. I LIKE THAT THE FOUR YEARS, I THINK, IS JUST A LITTLE TOO LONG TO PUSH IT DOWN THE ROAD.

A COUPLE YEARS WOULD BE OKAY, BUT AS FAR AS NICK, THIS IS TO YOU HOW MANY DEVELOPERS AND I KNOW WE HAVE TO SORT OF IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW MANY WHO THEY ARE, BUT HOW MANY PROJECTS ARE WE TALKING ABOUT IF THEY WOULD FALL UNDER FALL UNDER THIS? SURE. SO FOR THE APPROVE TENTATIVE MAPS, THERE ARE THREE SINGLE FAMILY DEVELOPMENTS THAT WOULD BE SUBJECT AND TWO MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPMENTS. SO IT'S APPROXIMATELY THREE 570 ISH MULTIFAMILY UNITS.

AND THEN FOR SINGLE FAMILY, IT'S ABOUT 35 IN THAT IN THAT AND THEN THE ARMY CORPS OR ENVIRONMENTAL.

ARE THESE THE ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN PROLONGED AS FAR AS THE PROCESSING FOR THESE PROJECTS.

JUST JUST FOR VILLA BORBA.

YEAH. THAT WOULD THAT WOULD BE THE ONLY ONE.

SO THAT'S THE ONLY ONE. SO THE OTHER ONE SHOULD BE ABLE. IF WE GAVE THEM TWO YEARS TO GRANDFATHER, IT SHOULDN'T BE AN ISSUE.

[01:45:02]

RIGHT. AND AND ACTUALLY WE'VE MADE QUITE A BIT OF PROGRESS ON VILLA BORBA THIS YEAR.

AND SO THEY ARE, THEY'RE VERY CLOSE TO BEING ABLE TO START CONSTRUCTION.

OKAY. THANK YOU NICK. I'M GOOD WITH THAT. COUNCIL ONE OF THE THINGS YOU COULD DO TONIGHT IS YOU COULD ADOPT THESE FEES.

AND THEN AT THE NEXT MEETING, THEY WILL, THEY WILL HAVE TO COME BACK FOR A SECOND READ. AND THEN THESE WON'T TAKE EFFECT FOR 60 DAYS AFTER THAT.

SO YOU COULD ADOPT ALL OF THESE.

AND AT THE NEXT MEETING, THE STAFF CAN COME BACK WITH AN ORDINANCE WHICH WOULD DEAL WITH THE GRANDFATHERING OF THESE.

AND I THINK YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE QUIMBY AND THE PARK FEES, YOU KNOW, SPECIFICALLY ADDRESSING THOSE IN THE PHASE IN WHICH WOULD BE WE COULD DEAL WITH THAT IN A SEPARATE ORDINANCE, IF THAT'S ACCEPTABLE.

AND THAT WOULD ACTUALLY ALSO SOMEWHAT ACCOMMODATE THE REQUEST THAT WAS MADE BY CARLOS. AS FAR AS TABLING THIS, EXCEPT WE WOULD MAKE.

WE. WE WOULD ADOPT THEM, BUT WE WOULD HAVE ADDITIONAL DISCUSSIONS BEFORE EVERYTHING. ALL THE DETAILS WERE HAMMERED OUT.

YEAH. YEAH. I THINK THAT YOU'RE GOING TO I THINK THAT THAT'S WHAT I SENSE UP HERE ON THE DAIS. I THINK IT NEEDS TO BE SAID THIS.

WE ALL RECOGNIZE THAT HOUSING COSTS IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AND CHINO HILLS.

YOU KNOW, I CAN TELL PEOPLE THAT WE'RE THE BEVERLY HILLS OF THE 909.

OUR REAL ESTATE VALUES ARE JUST GOING CRAZY.

WE HAVE A NEW DEVELOPMENT THAT JUST OPENED UP WITH OUR GRAND OPENING STARTING AT 1,000,007.

I MEAN, THE AVERAGE PERSON YOU MENTIONED, YOUR CHILDREN CAN'T AFFORD HOUSES.

I'VE GOT SONS THAT HAD TO MOVE OUT OF STATE SO THEY COULD BUY A HOUSE.

THEY COULDN'T AFFORD ONE IN CALIFORNIA, AND THAT WASN'T CHINO HILLS.

THEY JUST COULDN'T AFFORD IT, PERIOD.

I'VE GOT OTHERS THAT ARE LIVING IN APARTMENTS OUT OF THE STATE BECAUSE THEY CAN'T AFFORD APARTMENT RENT HERE, SO THE COSTS ARE RIDICULOUS.

WAS THE WHOLE KEY ON THIS.

THESE FEES IS THE THING THAT WE.

IT'S IMPORTANT FOR US TO IMPRESS UPON EVERYBODY IS THAT WE'RE JUST TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT WE RECOUP ALL OF THE COSTS THAT ARE INVOLVED.

WE SHOULD NOT BE IN A POSITION AS A CITY TO BE IN A POINT WHERE WE'RE SUBSIDIZING BASICALLY DEVELOPMENT BECAUSE THE COSTS ARE GOING UP.

THERE'S ALSO THE TALK ABOUT THE DEVELOPERS.

I'M SYMPATHETIC TO THEM.

I MEAN, I USED TO CONSULT FOR DEVELOPERS, AND I'M ALSO VERY FAMILIAR WITH THE DEVELOPMENTAL APPROACH TO VALUING PROPERTY BASED UPON THEIR STARTING FEES, ON WHAT THEY PAY FOR THEIR LAND AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS AND EVERYTHING ELSE.

BUT THE REALITY IS, THE HOMEOWNER IS THE ONE THAT ENDS UP PAYING ALL OF THESE FEES.

THEY REIMBURSE THE DEVELOPER.

SO IT'S NOT LIKE IT'S COMING OUT OF THEIR POCKET NOW.

AND WE'RE NOT SYMPATHETIC TO PEOPLE HAVING TO PAY MORE FOR THEIR HOMES.

YES, I AM, BUT I'M NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO CHANGE THAT.

NOBODY UP HERE IS GOING TO BE ABLE TO CHANGE THAT.

SO IT MAKES SENSE TO ME TO GO WITH WHAT OUR CITY ATTORNEY JUST MENTIONED.

GO AHEAD AND APPROVE THIS, AND I'M GOING TO ASK FOR SOME LANGUAGE ON THIS AS A PROPOSAL SO THAT WE CAN CONSIDER IT AND GET A SECOND OR A MOTION AND A SECOND.

SO IF YOU COULD GIVE US A MOTION THAT WOULD ACCOMMODATE PASSING THIS AND MOVING IT ON TONIGHT, GIVING US WITHIN THE 60 DAY PERIOD, A TIME FRAME IN WHICH WE CAN WORK OUT DETAILS AND SEE WHETHER OR NOT GRANDFATHERING AND SUNSETTING.

AND ALL OF THESE THINGS ARE APPROPRIATE AND SUPPORTABLE.

BEFORE WE DO THAT, I JUST HAVE A CLARIFICATION QUESTION FOR NICK ABOUT ALIBABA REAL QUICK BEFORE WE WRAP IT UP.

YOU SAID WE'VE BEEN MAKING A LOT OF PROGRESS. IS THAT ON THE TOWNHOMES OR THE SINGLE FAMILY HOMES THAT HAVE BEEN VACANT? IT WOULD BE BOTH BECAUSE THE IMPROVEMENTS TO THE OFF SITE STORMWATER DETENTION BASIN NEED TO BE MADE BEFORE CONSTRUCTION CAN START ON EITHER.

SO THERE'S A 220 TOWNHOMES, AND THEN THERE'S A 19 SINGLE FAMILY HOMES OFF OF AZORES DRIVE THAT REMAIN TO BE BUILT.

BUT BOTH OF THOSE ARE ARE LOCKED UP BECAUSE OF THE GETTING THE PERMITS FROM FISH AND WILDLIFE AND ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS TO DO IMPROVEMENTS TO THE OFF SITE BASIN.

SO AS SOON AS THOSE PERMITS ARE OBTAINED, WHICH WE'RE VERY, VERY CLOSE TO HAVING OBTAIN THOSE PERMITS.

LENNAR IS WITH THOSE AGENCIES, THEN THEY WILL BE ABLE TO START WORK ON THAT.

BECAUSE OF SOME OF THEIR STORMWATER DETENTION IS BEING DONE THROUGH A TEMPORARY BASIN THAT'S ON THE SITE OF THE CONDOMINIUM DEVELOPMENT.

SO, SO ONCE THAT GETS DONE, THEN THAT WILL ALLOW THEM TO MOVE FORWARD.

THEY'VE ALREADY HAD PLANS IN REVIEW FOR THE TOWNHOME PROJECT.

SO THEY'VE, THEY'VE GOT ALL THEIR DUCKS IN A ROW TO, I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS A QUESTION FOR YOU OR WE DO.

THIS IS STILL I CAN ASK A QUESTION DIRECTLY.

YEAH. COME ON, BACK UP, PLEASE.

SO AND CARLOS, YOU CAN HELP HIM OUT IF YOU WISH.

WITH WHAT? WITH WHAT COUNCIL MEMBER JONES AND OTHERS HAVE ALLUDED TO WITH, LIKE, A POTENTIAL GRANDFATHERING OF TWO YEARS VERSUS FOUR.

AND BASED ON WHAT YOU'RE DOING WITH NICK. SO I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S A QUESTION FOR YOU THAT

[01:50:03]

REALISTICALLY, CAN YOU GET THIS? CAN YOU PULL THIS TO THE FINISH LINE? AND BY 2027, BECAUSE IT'S BEEN GOING ON A LONG TIME. YES, THREE, THREE YEARS WOULD BE IDEAL ON THE GRANDFATHERING.

I THINK WE COULD GET IT DONE IN TWO YEARS.

OKAY. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

AND THEN JUST FOR CLARIFICATION FOR THE PUBLIC, THE STORMWATER RETENTION BASIN, THAT'S THE ONE THAT'S UP ALONG THE 71, RIGHT. WHERE WE'VE SEEN THE YELLOW IRON MOVING STUFF THAT THAT'S THAT IS ACTUALLY IN A DIFFERENT BASIN. SO THERE'S.

YEAH. SO THERE'S TWO THAT THEY NEED TO DO.

THE OTHER ONE IS IS ACTUALLY ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ON BELOW VILLA PARK BASICALLY.

AND SO THAT THAT ONE IS IN ON CITY OWNED LAND.

SO THEY HAVE TO DO SOME EXTRA WORK.

IS THAT THE ONE WITH THE BUMBLEBEE? YES IT IS.

THERE, THERE ARE BATS AND THERE ARE BEES.

WHAT KIND OF BEES THERE? IT'S THE CROTCH'S BUMBLEBEE.

OKAY. THANK YOU. CROTCH BUMBLEBEE. AND I BRING THIS UP BECAUSE I'M IN SOUTHERN CHINO HILLS. AND SO I LOVE YOUR VILLA BOARD PROJECT.

LOVE THE PARTNERSHIP WITH THE DOG PARK.

IT'S BEEN GREAT, BUT PEOPLE ARE VERY ANXIOUS TO GET INTO THOSE SINGLE FAMILY HOMES.

AND FOR PEOPLE THAT ARE WATCHING WINNING, WHERE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE EMPTY FIELD THAT'S NEXT TO WHERE THE PUB RESTAURANT IS LOCATED, THAT'S GOING TO BE SOME NICE HOME OWNERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES WITH TOWNHOMES.

SO IT'S THAT'S ANOTHER POSITIVE THING.

SO, BUT, YOU KNOW, WE COULD GO ON AND ON ABOUT HOW IS THIS TAKING SO LONG? BUT NOW WHAT'S MOST IMPORTANT IS LIKE, WHAT'S GOING TO GET THIS PROJECT TO THE FINISH LINE BECAUSE EVERYONE'S REALLY ANXIOUS TO. THAT WOULD BE A NICE ADDITION TO SOUTHERN CHINO HILLS. SO. AND FOR FURTHER CLARIFICATION.

NICK, WHEN WERE THOSE ORIGINALLY APPROVED? MANY, MANY MOONS. I'M GOING TO SAY PROBABLY ABOUT TEN YEARS AGO.

YEAH. YEAH. IT SEEMS LIKE THAT WAS SOME OF OUR EARLY YEARS ON THE COUNCIL THAT THOSE WERE APPROVED. AND IT'S BEEN THESE ENTITIES SLOWING THINGS UP.

PLUS, THE REALITY IS APPROVALS WERE MADE WAY BEFORE THE ECONOMY PICKED UP TO WHERE IT MADE ECONOMIC SENSE TO BUILD THESE HOMES.

AND THAT'S THAT'S BEEN A CRITICAL THING TOO.

SO SOMETIMES IT'S SELF-IMPOSED BECAUSE IT JUST YOU COULD BUILD THEM, BUT NOBODY'S GOING TO BUY THEM. SO I MEAN, THAT'S ANOTHER THING.

YES. FURTHER CLARIFICATION.

YES. THAT'S CORRECT. CORRECT.

IT'S BEEN APPROXIMATELY FIVE YEARS.

WE'VE BEEN DEALING WITH THE BASIN, DEALING WITH TRYING TO GET OUR PERMITS FROM THE AGENCIES. AND WHENEVER WE GET CLOSE, WE COME ACROSS ANOTHER BUMBLEBEE OR SOMETHING. SO IT HAS BEEN A LONG PROCESS.

WE'D BE DONE BY NOW. I THINK WHAT'S GREAT ABOUT BELO VILLA BORBA IS IT IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR CONDOMINIUMS. THAT'S TYPICALLY GOING TO BE YOUR FIRST TIME HOME BUYER OR SOMEONE LOOKING TO GET INTO A FOR SALE OPPORTUNITY. SO WE ARE VERY EXCITED.

WE WANT TO BE DONE, AND WE CERTAINLY WANT TO GET GOING AS FAST AS WE CAN.

THANK YOU. AND THOSE CONDOS WILL BE ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE PINE AVENUE CORPORATE CENTER, RIGHT. AND THAT SMALL SHOPPING CENTER.

ISN'T THAT WHERE THEY'RE LOCATED? SOUTH.

CORRECT. JUST SOUTH. YEAH.

ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR CLARIFICATION? CAN I JUST ADD MAYOR? THE LAST FEW COMMENTS REALLY JUST HIGHLIGHT THE PENT UP DEMAND YOU HIGHLIGHT. THERE'S SOME ENTHUSIASM FROM THE COMMUNITY.

WHEN IS THIS PROJECT GOING TO BE DONE? YOU HEARD FROM A NEIGHBOR TODAY AS WELL? THE EXEMPTION AND THE RATIONALE FOR THE EXEMPTION.

AND WE APPRECIATE THE CONSIDERATION AND THE ADJUSTMENT IN TIME, TWO YEARS PROVIDING STAFF WITH THAT DIRECTION TO BRING BACK THE NEXT MEETING FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION. SO WE'RE CLEAR THAT ORDINANCE OF IMPLEMENTATION TO GO ADJUST IT AGAIN.

THIS IS ABOUT COLLABORATION.

SO IF YOU'RE MORE COMFORTABLE WITH A TWO YEAR EXEMPTION TO ALLOW FOR US TO GET TO THAT FINISH LINE THAT COUNCILMEMBER MORAN WAS REFERENCING WE WOULD RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THAT YOU WOULD PROVIDE THAT DIRECTION TO STAFF.

AND THEN ALSO, AGAIN, ABOUT COLLABORATION AND COMPROMISE.

IF THREE YEARS IS A BETTER TIME THAT YOU ALL FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH THE PHASE IN.

AGAIN, WE'RE NOT MAKING DEMANDS.

WE'RE ASKING JUST FOR COLLABORATION BECAUSE AGAIN, LIKE THE COMMENT THAT WAS MADE FROM YOUR NEIGHBOR TODAY WE WANT TO DO EVERYTHING WE CAN TO ENSURE THAT CHINO HILLS HAS THE OPPORTUNITY FOR GREAT HOUSING OPTIONS.

AND IF IT WASN'T FOR ALL OF THE NOT BECAUSE OF THE CITY, BUT ALL OF THE ISSUES AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL, THAT'S WHY NOT CHANGING OR NOT CHANGING THE LANDSCAPE OF SAYING, WELL, WE KNOW IT TOOK FIVE YEARS, BUT YOU'RE ON THE ONE YARD LINE NOW. WE'RE GOING TO INCREASE IT 450% TO TO TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION,

[01:55:02]

AS I SEE THAT YOU ARE STRONGLY CONSIDERING THAT.

WE REALLY APPRECIATE THAT. I THINK THAT'S WHY THE EXEMPTION ARGUABLY WOULD BE PRIORITY ONE.

AND WITH THE PHASE IN PRIORITY ONE, BE.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION AND INDULGENCE TODAY. THANK YOU. WELL, THANK YOU FOR YOUR INPUT, GENTLEMEN.

OKAY. JUST ONE FOLLOW UP QUESTION, CARLOS, YOU'RE THERE RIGHT NOW.

I'M GOING TO ASK YOU THE QUESTION.

I'M NOT GOING TO PUT SCOTT ON THE PUT HIM ON THE SPOT.

I KNOW WHEN I WAS ON THE PLANNING COMMISSION, I USED TO THINK DEVELOPERS USED TO MAKE A LOT OF MONEY. AND I KNOW EVERY YEAR, BECAUSE OF MANDATES FROM SACRAMENTO FEDERAL GOVERNMENT YOU'RE NOT MAKING OR DEVELOPERS AREN'T MAKING AS MUCH MONEY AS THEY USED TO.

WHAT IS I WAS TOLD ABOUT 11%.

IS THAT ABOUT RIGHT? WE'RE HERE ABOUT NOT ABOUT PROFITS.

WE'RE HERE. WE'RE HERE TONIGHT.

WE'RE HERE TO BE CLEAR.

IT'S ABOUT PRICING AND AFFORDABILITY AT THE END OF THE DAY, BECAUSE, AS WAS MENTIONED EARLIER, IT'S GOING TO BE PASSED ON ULTIMATELY.

AND THAT BURDEN AND THAT BARRIER TO ENTRY AND AFFORDABILITY AND THAT CHALLENGE, AS WAS MENTIONED EARLIER TONIGHT, WHERE BUYING DOWN RATES AND TRYING TO DO EVERYTHING, WE'RE TRYING TO DO EVERYTHING WE CAN TO HELP THOSE FIRST TIME THAT 75% OF FAMILIES COMING INTO LENNAR AND TO OTHER HOME BUILDERS WITH THE DREAM OF BEING ABLE TO GET THAT, NOT TO HAVE TO MOVE OUT OF STATE.

THESE THIS IS TONIGHT THE EPITOME OF LOCAL CONTROL AND A POLICY LEVER THAT YOU HAVE THAT CAN MAKE A DIRECT IMPACT ON ATTAINABILITY AND THE HOUSING MARKET AFFORDABILITY IN I THOUGHT I HEARD THE BEVERLY HILLS OF SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY. IS THAT WHAT, INLAND EMPIRE? OKAY. SO ALL KIDDING ASIDE, I THINK THAT'S REALLY AT THE END OF THE DAY I DON'T HAVE A PERCENTAGE FOR YOU ON, ON, ON PROFITS.

THEY DON'T SHARE THAT WITH ME AT THE ASSOCIATION.

BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, WE'RE NOT HERE TONIGHT.

TO BE CLEAR TO PAD PROFITS.

WE'RE HERE TO INCREASE THE ACCESS TO HOUSING, WHICH IS IN DIRE NEED IN CHINO HILLS.

AND IT'S NOT UNIQUE TO CHINO HILLS. BELIEVE ME, IT'S A CRISIS. SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY, INLAND EMPIRE IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AND CALIFORNIA AS A WHOLE.

SO THIS WOULD BE A GREAT STEP.

WE'RE GOING TO BE MEETING WITH OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS TOMORROW. I GOT TO TELL YOU, THAT'S THE FIRST QUESTION THEY WANT TO ASK IS, HOW IS CHINO HILLS TAKING THIS? BECAUSE ALL EYES ARE WATCHING AND, AND BEING ABLE TO SAY, HERE'S A GREAT EXAMPLE OF ONE OF THE PREMIER CITIES IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA AND HOW THEY'RE APPROACHING BALANCING THE NEEDS FOR INFRASTRUCTURE PARKS, BUT ALSO BEING ABLE TO DO IT IN A WAY THAT MAKES SURE THAT WE CAN KEEP HOMES ATTAINABLE.

SO AGAIN, THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION TONIGHT. AND JUST REAL FAST, I THINK IS ACTUALLY A BETTER CITY THAN YORBA LINDA. SO I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT THAT QUESTION RIGHT UP THERE, THAT'S A GREAT DEBATE FOR ANOTHER DAY. WHAT A SLAM FOR THE VICE MAYOR OF YORBA LINDA. YEAH. OKAY.

I THINK WE HAD ALREADY WELL, WE'RE GOING TO GET WE'RE GOING TO GET A MOTION FROM YOU ASKED A QUESTION ABOUT THE MOTION, AND I RECOMMEND THAT YOU WOULD DO IS YOU WOULD BASED UPON THE DISCUSSION IS YOU WOULD APPROVE THE RECOMMENDATIONS AS THEY'RE LAID OUT ON THE STAFF REPORT AND THEN ALSO ADD THE RECOMMENDATION TO THAT, THAT THE STAFF WILL COME BACK.

YOUR NEXT MEETING WITH THESE ALTERNATIVES, AS YOU'VE DISCUSSED THEM WITH REGARD TO GRANDFATHERING IN CERTAIN PROJECTS OR ACTUALLY BASED UPON WHERE THEY ARE, THE PROJECTS ARE IN THE PROCESS.

AND ALSO THIS PHASE IN OF THE FEES, AND WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE QUIMBY AND THE PARK FEES ON BOTH OF THOSE ITEMS. OKAY. CAN I GET A MOTION FOR THAT? I'LL MOTION. I'LL SECOND.

SECOND. ALL RIGHT. LOCK IN YOUR VOTES.

WE WILL DO THAT. MOTION PASSES.

FIVE ZERO. OKAY, GENTLEMEN, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR COMING HERE.

I THINK YOU UNDERSTAND WE ARE TRYING TO DO WHAT'S BEST FOR OUR CITY AND WHAT IS ALSO BEST FOR OUR FUTURE RESIDENTS.

AND WITH ONLY IN YOUR OWN TABLE, WHEN WE'VE ONLY REACHED 5% OF THE ARENA NUMBERS, WE HAVE TO BUILD HOMES.

WE REALLY DO. AND THERE'S A NEED FOR IT.

BUT WE JUST HAVE TO JUMP THROUGH ALL THE HOOPS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE AREN'T SUBSIDIZING DEVELOPMENT BY NOT COLLECTING THE APPROPRIATE AMOUNT OF FEE REIMBURSEMENT.

SO. SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR COMING TONIGHT.

APPRECIATE IT. BALANCED APPROACH.

YEAH. JEFF, COULD YOU LEAVE YOUR CARD WITH CHERYL? I'M GOING TO BE YOUR NEW BEST FRIEND.

I LIVE THANKS. I DID SOMETHING WITH MY AGENDA HERE, I APOLOGIZE. OH, HERE IT IS.

HERE IT IS. HERE WE GO.

ALL RIGHT, SO OUR NEXT ITEM IS ITEM 17.

PUBLIC COMMENTS ON NON AGENDIZED ITEMS.

[02:00:04]

DO WE HAVE ANY SPEAKERS.

WE DO. WE HAVE ONE SPEAKER DEBORAH MADSEN.

ALL RIGHT DEBORAH. DEBORAH PUBLIC COMMENTS.

COME ON. DO YOU WANT TO SPEAK AGAIN OR IS THIS THE SAME ITEM.

NO, NO. THIS IS A OKAY, COME ON UP.

THANK YOU. THIS IS A FOLLOW UP ITEM FROM THE LAST CITY COUNCIL MEETING.

I'D EXPRESSED CONCERN REGARDING EMERGENCY EGRESS OUT OF CARBON CANYON IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE, AND THERE WAS GOING TO BE SOME ADDITIONAL EVALUATION OF EMERGENCY EXIT ROUTES, AND ESPECIALLY IN LIEU OF THE ADDITIONAL HOUSING BEING BUILT IN CARBON CANYON, ARE THE EXISTING TWO ROUTES EMERGENCY EXIT ROUTES OUT OF CARBON CANYON GOING TO BE SUFFICIENT FOR ALL THE ADDITIONAL RESIDENTS? ONE OTHER ITEM THAT CAME UP DURING OUR LAST NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH MEETING, ONE OF OUR RESIDENTS DID CHECK OUT THE GATES AT THE TWO EMERGENCY EXIT ROUTES, AND THEY DISCOVERED THAT THE GATES AT THE EXIT TOWARD VILANO SEEM TO BE IN POOR REPAIR.

AND THE QUESTION IS, WOULD ANY WORK BE DONE ON THOSE GATES? AND THERE'S ALSO TWO GATES THAT YOU HAVE TO GO THROUGH TO GET THROUGH TO VILANO.

NO. AND IS THERE GOING TO BE SUFFICIENT TIME AND RESOURCES TO OPEN BOTH GATES SO THAT PEOPLE CAN GET OUT? SO THAT'S THE FIRST FOLLOW UP ITEM.

THE SECOND ONE ALSO CAME UP DURING OUR LAST NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH MEETING, WHICH IS THAT IN SUMMIT RANCH, WE HAVE WATER TANKS, WHICH ARE USED TO GENERATE EXTRA WATER PRESSURE BECAUSE WE'RE UP ON A HILL.

AND OUR QUESTION TO THE CITY IS THAT IN THE LOSS OF POWER AND IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION, LIKE A FIRE, WILL WE HAVE SUFFICIENT WATER PRESSURE IF THAT PUMPING STATION LOST POWER? SO THOSE ARE THE QUESTIONS WE HAVE.

IS IT APPROPRIATE TO HAVE STAFF ANSWER THAT? DANIEL CAN ANSWER THAT. WE'VE ASKED THAT QUESTION BEFORE.

YEAH. YEAH. YES, WE DO HAVE REDUNDANCY AT OUR WATER FACILITIES.

WE JUST RECENTLY INSTALLED A SYSTEM.

WE DID HAVE AN AREA THAT WAS VULNERABLE TO POWER OUTAGES, BUT THAT'S BEEN ADDRESSED.

WITHIN THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS, THAT WAS CANNON LANE, RIGHT? CORRECT. YES. BUT EVERYTHING IN THE CANYON AND THROUGHOUT THE CITY DOES HAVE EITHER PERMANENT BACKUP BATTERY SYSTEMS OR THE ABILITY TO PROVIDE PORTABLE POWER BACKUP IF NEEDED. OKAY. SO THAT WOULD TAKE CARE OF OUR PUMPING STATION IN SUMMIT RANCH.

I DON'T KNOW THE SPECIFIC AREAS, BUT YES, EVERYTHING IN WITHIN THE CARBON CANYON AREA THROUGHOUT THE CITY WILL HAVE BATTERY BACKUP POWER TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE YOU WITH ENOUGH PRESSURE.

SHOULD WE LOSE POWER FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME? OKAY. MR. MAYOR, ONE FOLLOW UP QUESTION.

THIS IS ACTUALLY FOR THE CITY MANAGER. ARE WE LOOKING AT THAT? JUST OUT OF CURIOSITY, SIR, AT ACCESS IN THE CANYON.

YES. AND THANK YOU FOR THOSE ADDITIONAL POINTS THAT CAME UP IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH MEETING. WE'RE ACTUALLY PULLING OUR PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT, OUR EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS, AND OUR LAW AND FIRE REPRESENTATIVES TO KIND OF TAKE A HOLISTIC LOOK AT THIS.

AND SO WE'RE GOING TO BRING THAT BACK TO THE COUNCIL AND JUST KIND OF LAY OUT ALL THE DIFFERENT ISSUES. THANK YOU ALSO FOR THE COMMENTS ON THE GATES.

I'M GOING TO ASSUME THOSE ARE PRIVATE GATES, BUT SO THE MAINTENANCE MIGHT BE BASED ON THOSE HOA'S. BUT I THINK THE POINT IS IF THEY'RE IN DISREPAIR, THEY MAY NOT BE ABLE TO EASILY BE OPENED.

AND SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'VE DONE, I KNOW OUR ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER WHO'S OVER EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS, ACTUALLY HAS DRIVEN OUT TO LOOK AT SOME OF THE GATES AS WELL. SO I GUESS THE ANSWER IS WE'RE GOING TO BRING THAT BACK TO THE COUNCIL TO LOOK AT VARIOUS ASPECTS OF IT, INCLUDING SOME OF THE RIGHTS OF THE PRIVATE COMMUNITIES WHEN IT COMES TO ACCESS AND THROUGH THEIR GATE.

SO WE WANT TO LAY THAT ALL OUT FOR THE CITY.

IT'LL BE WITH, YOU KNOW, CERTAINLY BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR, I WOULD EXPECT IN THE NEXT COUNCIL MEETING OR THE FOLLOWING ONE, I WILL BRING THAT UP AS AN AGENDA ITEM SO THAT SHE'LL KNOW WHEN SHE'S CHECKING THINGS OUT. AND I HAVE YOUR CONTACT INFORMATION. I'LL MAKE SURE TO SHARE IT WITH YOU WHEN WHEN MY NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH IS EXPECTING ME TO COME BACK AND REPORT.

SO I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHEN IT'S GOING TO BE ON THE AGENDA NEXT TIME SO THAT I CAN MAKE SURE THAT I CAN REPORT BACK TO MY COMMUNITY.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT. WELL, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR COMMENTS. WE APPRECIATE IT. AND THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO BE HERE AND EXPRESS YOUR CONCERNS. WE APPRECIATE IT. YOU'RE OUR EYES AND EARS OUT THERE IN THE COMMUNITY.

IF THINGS ARE GOING ON THAT WE'RE NOT NECESSARILY AWARE OF.

[02:05:02]

AND EVEN IF WE ARE, WE WANT SOMEBODY SAYING, HEY, YEAH, THIS REALLY DOES MATTER TO US. SO WE APPRECIATE YOU TAKING THE TIME TO BE HERE.

HAVE YOU SIGNED UP FOR OUR ALERTS? SO YOU'LL KNOW WHEN THE AGENDA IS POSTED EVERY THURSDAY BEFORE THE MEETINGS.

THEN YOU'LL KNOW. YOU'LL GET AN EMAIL OR A TEXT, AND THEN YOU CAN JUST CHECK THE AGENDA.

OH, OKAY. NICOLE, WOULD YOU LIKE TO ELABORATE ON THAT? YOU CAN SIGN UP FOR TEXT AND EMAIL ALERTS AT CHINO HILLS.ORG FORWARD SLASH.

NOTIFY ME, AND YOU CAN CHOOSE THE COUNCIL AGENDAS CATEGORIES, AS WELL AS EMERGENCY ALERTS OR JUST GENERAL NEWS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR THE CITY.

OKAY, GREAT. THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. MOVING ON TO SAFETY UPDATES.

SO NO, NOTHING TO REPORT.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THE STATE OF THE FIRE DISTRICT WAS A VERY WELL ORGANIZED AND JUST BEAUTIFUL EVENT. SO WE WE APPRECIATE BEING ABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN THAT.

SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR.

TONIGHT IT'S ALREADY BEEN MENTIONED.

[ ADJOURN IN MEMORIAM AND IN HOPE: Adjourn with deep gratitude, respect, and appreciation for the brave individuals who serve and have served in the Armed Forces. Their selfless contributions protect us all. May we as a community continue to support and honor them.]

WE HAD A VERY SAD OCCURRENCE YESTERDAY ONE OF THE SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES DEPUTY ANDREW NUNEZ, WAS UNFORTUNATELY KILLED, SHOT AND KILLED IN THE LINE OF DUTY.

AND SO TONIGHT, WE ARE GOING TO ADJOURN.

ADJOURN IN MEMORY OF DEPUTY SHERIFF ANDREW NUNEZ.

HE HE PASSED AWAY YESTERDAY, THE 27TH.

THAT WAS HIS END OF WATCH.

AFTER BEING FATALLY INJURED FROM A GUNSHOT WOUND IN THE LINE OF DUTY.

DEPUTY NUNEZ WAS A SIX YEAR VETERAN OF THE SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT.

HE WAS A DEPUTY AT THE RANCHO CUCAMONGA STATION AT THE TIME OF HIS DEATH, AND SERVED THE COMMUNITY WITH PRIDE AND PROFESSIONALISM.

I UNDERSTAND HE NEVER DID SERVE HERE AT CHINO HILLS AS SOMETHING WE WERE TOLD.

IS THAT CORRECT? YEAH.

OKAY. BUT NONETHELESS, HE'S PART OF THE FAMILY AND PART OF WHO REPRESENTS US, SO WE APPRECIATE THAT.

OUR DEEPEST SYMPATHIES ARE WITH HIS WIFE, HIS SIX YEAR OLD DAUGHTER AND THE SECOND CHILD THEY WERE EXPECTING TOGETHER.
