Arrowhead Grove Phase IV, LP (the “Borrower”) has requested that the California
Statewide Communities Development Authority (“CSCDA”) serve as the municipal
issuer of tax-exempt multi-family housing revenue bonds in an aggregate principal
amount not to exceed $45,000,000 (the “Bonds”). The proceeds of the Bonds will be
used for the purpose of making a loan to the Borrower, to enable the Borrower to
finance the acquisition, construction, improvement and equipping of a 92-unit
affordable multifamily housing rental project located at 375 Elm Circle, San Bernardino,
California (the “Project”), which will be owned and operated by the Borrower. On
December 11, 2024, the project received an award of private activity bond allocation
from the California Debt Limit Allocation Committee. The $45,000,000 are non-city
funds. The City is not a party to any of the financing documents related to the Bond
issuance and is not named in any of the disclosure documents describing the Bonds.
Background
Arrowhead Grove is a transformational master-planned community located in the heart
of San Bernardino. When complete, this 38-acre site will consist of more than 400
mixed-income apartment homes for individuals, families, and seniors.
On October 2, 2024, the Mayor and City Council adopted Resolution No. 2024-208
approving a Conditional Funding Commitment for the Project. The conditional
commitment referenced promised to commit HOME Investment Partnerships Program
(HOME) fund once the Housing Authority of San Bernardino County (HACSB) and
National Core Renaissance of California (CORE) meet agreed upon conditions.
To date, Phase I (Valencia Vista), Phase II (Olive Meadow), and Phase III (Crestview
Terrace) have been completed. The following summarizes Arrowhead Grove when all
phases are completed:

Crestview Terrace 575 E. Baseline St.184 September 2021 HOME/NSP Loan
Phase IV TBD 92 TBD HOME Loan
Phase V Community Centers N/A TBD TBD
TOTAL 413
The completion of the first three phases has required the support of multiple funding
sources: HUD Office of Recapitalization, HUD Federal Housing Administration, HUD
Lender (Wells Fargo), Tax Credit Investors, and public lenders (County of San
Bernardino, HACSB, and the City).
Discussion
Phase IV will include the development of seven (7) two- and three-story buildings,
providing 92 new affordable residential units targeting income households at or below
80% of the Area Median Income (AMI). This phase will also include a private
community center, a swimming pool, shared outdoor common area amenities with

Phases I-III, and surface parking. The addition of these 92 units, combined with the
321 units developed in Phases I-III, will bring the total number of residential units to
413. The estimated total project cost is approximately $64.9 million.

The housing staff will return in May 2025 to seek approval for the HOME funding
commitment documents. These documents will detail the regulatory and compliance
requirements, deed restrictions, and loan terms, ensuring transparency and adherence
to funding guidelines.
The Bonds will be issued as limited obligations of CSCDA, payable solely from
revenues and receipts derived from a loan to be made by CSCDA to the Borrower with
the Bond proceeds. The City bears no liability with respect to the issuance of the
Bonds. Further, the City is not a party to any of the financing documents related to the
Bond issuance and is not named in any of the disclosure documents describing the
Bonds.
In order for all or a portion of the Bonds to qualify as tax-exempt bonds, the City of San
Bernardino (“City”) must conduct a public hearing (the “TEFRA Hearing”) providing the
members of the community an opportunity to speak in favor of or against the use of
tax-exempt bonds for the financing of the Project. Adoption of the resolution is solely
for the purposes of satisfying the requirements of the Tax Equity and Fiscal
Responsibility Act (TEFRA), the Internal Revenue Code and the California Government
Code Section 6500. Prior to such TEFRA Hearing, reasonable notice must be
provided to the members of the community. Following the close of the TEFRA Hearing,
an “applicable elected representative” of the governmental unit hosting the Project
must provide its approval of the issuance of the Bonds for the financing of the
Project. A public notice was published on March 6, 2025, in English and Spanish.
CSCDA is a joint powers authority sponsored by the League of California Cities
(League) and the California State Association of Counties (CSAC). CSCDA was
created by the League and CSAC in 1988 to enable local government and eligible
private entities access to low-cost, tax-exempt financing for projects that provide a
tangible public benefit, contribute to social and economic growth and improve the
overall quality of life in local communities throughout California. CSCDA is comprised
of more than 530 members, including the City of San Bernardino. CSCDA has issued
more than $75 billion through 1,800+ financings since 1988 and consistently ranks in
the top 10 of more than 3,000 nationwide public issuers of tax-exempt debt, as
measured by annual issuance amount.

Conducting a TEFRA hearing is a standard requirement to maintain transparency and
public involvement in projects that utilize tax-exempt financing for developments
benefiting the community.
2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
Expanding accessibility to housing will improve the quality of life for unhoused
residents. The Project aligns with Strategic Target No. 3: Improved Quality of Life.
Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact to the City’s General Fund.
Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino,
California:
1. Conduct a Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act Hearing in consideration of the
issuance of tax-exempt bond financing by the California Statewide Communities
Development Authority for the benefit of Arrowhead Grove Phase IV, LP, to provide
financing for the acquisition, construction, improvement, and equipping of a 92-unit
multifamily rental housing project generally known as Arrowhead Grove Phase IV.
2. Adopt Resolution 2025-268 approving the issuance of Bonds by the California
Statewide Communities Development Authority not to exceed $45,000,000, for the
benefit of Arrowhead Grove Phase IV, LP, to provide financing for the acquisition,
construction, improvement, and equipping of a 92-unit multifamily rental housing
project generally known as Arrowhead Grove Phase IV.
3. Authorize the City Manager or designee to take any further actions and execute
any further documents as necessary to effectuate the issuance of the Tax-Exempt

Request for Council Action
Date:April 2, 2025
To:Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From:Bill Gallardo, Interim City Manager;
Andrea Russell, Director of Human Resources
Department:Human Resources
Subject:Annual Renewal of the City's Property Insurance for FY
2025/26 in an amount not to exceed $2,478,000 (All
Wards)
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino,
California, approve the annual renewal of the City’s property insurance for a premium
not to exceed $2,478,000 for the term beginning April 1, 2025, and ending March 31,
2026; and authorizing the City Manager to execute all related documentation.
Executive Summary
Approving the City’s annual property insurance renewal for fiscal year 2025/26 to cover
direct physical loss or damage to City property.
Background
The City of San Bernardino has a pooled membership within Public Risk Innovation,
Solutions, and Management (PRISM) property program. Members within a pooled
insurance plan typically experience lower rate increases year over year as opposed to
stand-alone coverage. PRISM seeks quotes from both domestic and international
markets in order to fill all the program insurance needs; therefore, it is a very intensive
marketing process each year due to the size of the program and the number of carriers
involved. Once the final quote is selected, PRISM then works internally with actuaries
and underwriters to determine the premium allocation of each member based on their
individual loss experience and exposure information.
Discussion
The City purchases commercial property insurance to cover direct physical loss or
damage to City property caused by or resulting from a covered cause of loss.
Packet Page. 192

Member rates for 2025 are slightly increasing. The degree of rate increase to each
individual member varies within an established range dependent upon claims
experience, however, most members will experience a -3-12% increase. Member
allocation also considers the unique exposures of each entity including the types of
property being insured and exposure to natural catastrophes.
The City's not to exceed premium of $2,478,000 represents a 2.5% increase over last
year's not to exceed premium amount of $2,415,000. The 2024/25 property insurance
policy will end on March 31, 2025, and renew on April 1, 2025. Below is a breakdown
of each type of coverage included in the renewal, through Alliant, with PRISM for the
term beginning April 1, 2025, through March 31, 2026.
Commercial Property
The City purchases commercial property insurance to cover direct damage to City
property. The policy through PRISM provides a $300,000,000 limit per occurrence with
a $100,000 deductible.
Flood
The City purchases flood insurance to cover direct physical loss of or damage to City
property caused by or resulting from a flood. The policy through PRISM provides a
$200,000,000 limit with a $25,000 deductible.
Earthquake
The City purchases earthquake insurance to cover direct physical loss of or damage
to City property caused by or resulting from an earthquake. The policy through PRISM
provides a $100,000,000 limit with a $100,000 deductible minimum, or 5% of the total
value of the building.
Auto Physical Damage
The City purchases auto physical damage insurance to cover City-owned vehicles
against perils such as collision, vandalism, fire and theft. The policy through PRISM
provides a replacement cost value or actual cash value of vehicles with a $10,000
deductible.
Terrorism and Sabotage
The City purchases terrorism and sabotage insurance for property damage and
business interruption coverage in the event of a terrorist attack. The policy through
PRISM provides a $750,000,000 limit with a $100,000 deductible.
2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
Approving the renewal of the City’s property insurance policy aligns with Key Target
No. 1b: Improved Operational & Financial Capacity - Minimize risk and litigation
exposure. Commercial property insurance protects the City and mitigates risk by
covering direct physical loss or damage to City property.

Fiscal Impact
The FY 2025/26 Operating Budget includes funding to support expenditures in the
current fiscal year. The policy term is April 1, 2025, through March 31, 2026, for a not
to exceed premium of $2,478,000. The premium will be expensed across two fiscal
years: three (3) months in FY 2024/25 in the amount of $619,500 and nine (9) months
in FY 2025/26 in the amount of $1,858,500. Funding will be included in the FY 2025/26
Operating Budget for the portion of the premium expensed in next fiscal year.
Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino,
California, approve the annual renewal of the City’s property insurance for a premium
not to exceed $2,478,000 for the term beginning April 1, 2025, and ending March 31,

City of San Bernardino
Request for Council Action
Date:April 2, 2025
To:Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From:Bill Gallardo, Interim City Manager;
Andrea Russell, Director of Human Resources
Department:Human Resources
Subject:Approving the Principal Administrative Analyst (U) Job
Classification and Amending the City-wide Salary
Schedule (All Wards)
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino,
California, adopt resolution 2025-270:
1. Establishing the Principal Administrative Analyst (U) classification; and
2. Amending the City-Wide Salary Schedule for full-time, part-time, temporary, and
seasonal positions.
Executive Summary
Human Resources is recommending the creation of an additional level within the
Administrative Analyst classification series: Principal Administrative Analyst (U). This
new classification will provide a comprehensive job series, ranging from an entry-
level/trainee to a management-level classification. There is no financial impact
associated with this recommendation, as the report does not propose any new
positions or staffing increases. The change is limited to the inclusion of the new
classification within the existing Salary Schedule.
Background
As the City continues its efforts to improve service delivery, staff recommends adding
one (1) new classification to the City’s Salary Schedule. The creation of this
classification supports a structured succession plan within the Administrative Analyst
job family, ensuring continuity in service and leadership development. Establishing this
classification also positions the City to attract highly qualified candidates and retain
current employees within this functional job area by providing clear career
advancement opportunities.

Discussion
The Administrative Analyst classification series is designed to provide high-level,
complex, and specialized analytical support with significant exposure to areas with
confidential, sensitive, and/or citywide impact. In reviewing the Administrative Analyst
classification series, a need has been identified for a management-level classification
in this series titled Principal Administrative Analyst (U). The Principal Administrative
Analyst (U) has full-scope management responsibility for a team of analysts and other
analytical support staff engaged in performing complex and responsible analyses and
studies on a wide range of sensitive management, administrative, large-scale budget,
program, and other organizational matters in support of the execution of department
goals and objectives with sensitive and/or city-wide impact.
Other Principal level classifications within the City include the Principal Accountant,
Principal Civil Engineer, and Principal Planner. The proposed Principal Administrative
Analyst (U) is consistent with the utilization of this level within existing classification
series, and would be assigned to the Management/Confidential unit.
An internal salary review was conducted to identify salary placement that aligns with
the City’s current compensation structure. Compensation for Principal level
classifications have been placed 10%-17% above their closest subordinate
classifications. Therefore, Staff recommends placing the salary at
Management/Confidential Range 598 ($9,747.32 - $11,847.63/Monthly), which is
approximately 12% above the closest subordinate classification in the series (Senior
Administrative Analyst).
As changes are made to salaries or classifications, the City is required to adopt a
revised salary schedule in a public meeting. The attached salary schedule meets the
California Public Employees Retirement Systems (CalPERS) pay rate reporting
requirements in accordance with Government Code Section 20636 defining
“Compensation Earnable” and the California Code of Regulations (CCR) Section
570.5.
2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
Establishing the Principal Administrative Analyst U) classification aligns with Key
Target No. 2: Focused, Aligned Leadership and Unified Community by enabling the
City to ensure adequate service delivery and efficiency; and by building a culture that
attracts, retains, and motivates the highest quality of talent.
Fiscal Impact
None. This item will approve the creation of a new classification only, and amend the
salary schedule.

City of San Bernardino
Request for Council Action
Date:April 2, 2025
To:Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From:Bill Gallardo, Interim City Manager;
Darren Goodman, Chief of Police
Department:Police
Subject:Amendment No. 2 to the Professional Services
Agreements with Anand Patel for the City of San
Bernardino Motel Voucher Program, increasing the
combined total not to exceed amount from $2,751,840 to
$2,881,840 (All Wards)
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino,
California:
1. Authorize the Interim City Manager to execute Amendment No. 2
(“Amendment No. 2”) to the Motel Voucher Program professional service
agreements (“PSA”) with Anand Patel (Pa-An, Inc., Namaste Sitiye Inc., and
SB Hotel North LLC) to void Amendment No.1, obligate additional funding
outlets and revise the rate schedule; and
2. Authorize the Interim Director of Finance and Management Services (“Interim
Finance Director”) to increase the current purchase orders by the appropriate
amounts.
Executive Summary
The City currently operates a Motel Voucher Program (“Program”), which provides
temporary shelter/interim housing to unhoused residents. The San Bernardino Police
Department (“Department”) was awarded Community Development Block Grant
(“CDBG”) funds through the Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”)
to provide emergency shelter through motel vouchers, helping prevent homelessness
and creating a bridge to long-term housing stability. Amendment #2 will void
Amendment No.1 and correct the budget obligations for the agreements, update their
Packet Page. 220

rate schedules, and add the usage of CBDG funds to the Rodeway Inn and Studio 6
agreements. This will allow the City to continue expending the available CDBG funds
and provide essential services to those in need.
Background
The Program is a critical component of the Department's efforts to assist individuals
experiencing homelessness, as providing immediate shelter is a fundamental step in
facilitating long-term housing stability. The Program emerged from the City’s
comprehensive strategy to address the growing homelessness crisis through on-
congregate shelter options, while working towards permanent solutions.
The Program offers flexible stay durations, from 1 to 28 days based on individual needs
assessed by the City’s outreach team. Extensions beyond 28 days may be granted for
participants awaiting permanent housing placement.
The City receives an allocation of HUD CDBG funds every year. The Department has
successfully assisted over 100 individuals through the Program, contributing
significantly to their long-term housing stability. This Amendment #2 allows the
Department to continue utilizing the CDBG funds, ensuring compliance with grant
expenditure timeliness and City policy (while also maintaining necessary resources to
support individuals facing homelessness).
Amendment No. 1 approved by City Council intended to increase the housing capacity
to 130 motel rooms and 200 beds to ensure adequate shelter options, and extended
the term to December 31, 2026. However, due to an administrative error, the executed
Amendment No.1 contained incorrect budget amounts that were not aligned with the
version originally presented to and approved by City Council. To rectify this
discrepancy, Amendment #2 will supersede and replace Amendment No.1 and
incorporate updated budget amounts and additional provisions.
Discussion
The Department has used approximately $41,915 in CDBG funds to provide motel
vouchers through a Program-approved purchase card, and currently has
approximately $130,000 in available CDBG funds for expenditure. This Amendment #2
addresses the need for additional funding so the Department can seamlessly continue
to provide temporary shelter through motel vouchers and benefits.
The City previously allocated $2,751,840 for the Program, sourced from the following
funding streams:
Permanent Local Housing Allocation
(PLHA)
$1,237,939
Community Development Block
Grant Coronavirus Relief (CDBG-CV)
$540,401

The Department requests approval to amend the PSAs with Studio 6, Rodeway Inn,
and Motel 6. The three amendments will reflect the funding obligations below:

Motel 6 $973,500.00 $101,700.00 $0.00 $0.00 $1,075,200.00

Total
$973,500.00 $540,401.00 $1,237,939.00 $130,000.00 $2,881,840.00
The changes include additional funding outlets obligated to Studio 6 and Rodeway Inn,
and further clarification of the rate schedule and expectations for all three motel
locations.
2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
This requested amendment aligns with Strategic Target No. 3: Improved Quality of Life
by reducing the burden of homelessness through enjoyment, collaboration, and
partnership with other entities.
Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact on the General Fund since the activities described are funded
with ARPA, PLHA, CDBG-CV, and CDBG funds.
Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino,
California:
1. Authorize the Interim City Manager to execute Amendment No. 2 (“Amendment
#2”) to the Motel Voucher Program professional service agreements (“PSA”)
with Anand Patel (Pa-An, Inc., Namaste Sitiye Inc., and SB Hotel North LLC)
to void Amendment No.1, obligate additional funding outlets and revise the rate
schedule; and
2. Authorize the Interim Finance Director to increase the current purchase orders

Beverage Container Recycling City County Payment Program (BCRPP) pursuant to
Public Resources Code (PRC) Section 14581 (a)(3)(A) of the California Beverage
Container Recycling and Litter Reduction Act. CalRecycle is distributing $10,500,000
in fiscal year (FY) 2024–25 to eligible cities and counties specifically for beverage
container recycling and litter cleanup activities. The purpose of the beverage container
recycling program is to reach and maintain an 80 percent recycling rate for all California

implemented by cities and counties will assist in reaching and maintaining this goal.
For the fiscal year 2024-2025, the City of San Bernardino has applied for this grant as
authorized by Resolution No. 2020-174 and has been approved for payment. This
funding, totaling $56,633, can support various initiatives including the purchase of
recycling bins, educational outreach, water refill station installations, litter reduction
events, and marketing/advertising. These efforts align with the state’s goal of achieving
an 80% recycling rate for beverage containers and will contribute to environmental
sustainability within the City.
Discussion
The City of San Bernardino applied for the BCRPP FY 2024-2025 grant on 9/24/2024
and was awarded $56,633. Over the past two grant cycles, these funds have been
successfully used to install water bottle refill stations at key community locations
including recreation facilities and animal services, providing sustainable options and
convenience for both residents and city staff. For the upcoming cycle, the City plans to
continue funding similar initiatives, such as expanding the installation of refill stations
and supporting the City’s customized waste mobile application, which provides
residents with more information about their waste. Additionally, funds will be allocated
for ongoing advertising and outreach campaigns to keep residents informed about the
benefits of bottle/can recycling.
2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
Authorizing this agreement aligns with Key Target No.1 Improved Financial &
Operational Capacity- Secure a long-term revenue source. Annual BCRPP funds are
used to support the costs associated with beverage container recycling, litter reduction
efforts, public education and outreach to City residents. And Key Target No.3:
Improved Quality of Life. Improves quality of life for residents by supporting water bottle
refill infrastructure, marketing and advertising promoting the benefits of bottles and can
recycling, and litter clean-up opportunities. Current and future programs funded by this
grant allow residents to have more access and ability to partake in sustainability.
Fiscal Impact
There is no General Fund impact associated with this action. The BCRPP grant
amount is $56,633. The BCRPP funding will cover the costs of all eligible projects
authorized through the specific CalRecycle payment program. This grant does not
require any contribution or matching funds from the City.

1. The City Manager to execute a Goods Purchase Agreement with Fairview Ford
for the purchase of police fleet vehicles, and
2. The Director of Finance and Management Services to issue a purchase order
to Fairview Ford, in an amount not to exceed $830,000.
Executive Summary
The Police Department utilizes several types of vehicles to efficiently provide service.
Ford Explorer Interceptors allow officers to respond to calls for service and address
public safety needs throughout the city. The Police Fleet Expeditor is responsible for
transporting police vehicles to and from City yards but is also tasked with performing
minor maintenance items to minimize vehicle downtime. To maintain a patrol vehicle
fleet that runs well and is safe for operation, the Police Department must periodically
replace worn, high mileage vehicles and vehicles that have been damaged beyond
repair. Finally, the department will begin utilizing a jail transport service in the near
future. To accommodate this service, a secure transport jail van will need to be
outfitted. The Police Department is seeking to purchase Ford Interceptor SUVs, a
replacement Fleet Services truck, and a replacement prisoner transport van from
Fairview Ford to replace aging vehicles in the police fleet. These vehicles are to be
purchased through general budget funds already allocated for vehicle purchases.

Background
The FY 2024/25 adopted budget for the Police Department includes $1,427,000 in
funding to purchase replacement police vehicles. The Police Department has funds
which will allow for the purchase of thirteen (13) marked patrol vehicles, (1) dedicated
fleet maintenance vehicle, and (1) dedicated jail transport van. Accounting for
carryovers from FY2023/24, the total fund for motor vehicles is $2,237,000. As such,
there is sufficient budget to cover the purchase of these vehicles.
Discussion
The Police Department operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and relies heavily
upon police vehicles to make it possible for police personnel to respond to calls for
service throughout the city. Marked vehicles in the Patrol Division are in frequent use,
so they deteriorate faster than most vehicles due to rapidly accumulating mileage along
with wear and tear. These issues make it necessary to routinely replace vehicles within
the Police Department’s patrol fleet.
Additionally, police vehicles are sometimes involved in collisions and on some
occasions the vehicles are damaged beyond repair, making it necessary to replace
their loss from the patrol fleet. In general, the Police Department must replace
approximately 25% of its patrol vehicles each year to maintain an operational fleet that
does not require the investment of significant man-hours and financial resources to
repair or maintain it. The Police Department is seeking to purchase Ford Interceptor
SUVs for use by patrol officers in addition to a Ford Ranger truck for use by the Fleet
Expeditor. The Fleet Expeditor is primarily responsible for transporting vehicles to and
from city repair yards. However, the Expeditor is also tasked with completing minor
repairs and towing department trailers for service and deployment. The current Fleet
truck is a 2007 Ford Ranger, beyond its expected service life and incapable of
performing several tasks asked of the Fleet Expeditor. Similarly, the existing jail
transport van is a 2003 Ford Econoline van with over 160,000 miles and myriad
mechanical problems. As such, the Police Department is seeking to replace both of
these vehicles to improve operational efficiency.
The San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department uses both Police Interceptors and
Ford trucks for its operations. In October of 2023, San Bernardino County conducted
an open bid solicitation for 2025 Ford Explorer Interceptors (No. SHR124-ADMSR-
5122) and in July of 2024, requested bids for various fleet vehicles, to include Chevrolet
Colorado mid-sized trucks and Ford Transit 12-Passenger Vans (No. VHS124-CFMAI-
5445). Fairview Ford submitted a bid for Ford Rangers with specifications similar to
those of the Chevrolet Colorado. The substitution was accepted by San Bernardino
County and the bid process awarded the purchase for these vehicles to Fairview Ford
Sales Inc., a locally operated automobile dealership located within the city limits.
Documents related to the San Bernardino County bid process were obtained by staff,
reviewed, and found to be relevant to this purchase.
The San Bernardino Municipal Code allows the City to purchase from a vendor which
has been awarded a bid from another California government agency, so long as the
Packet Page. 424

vendor is willing to sell the item to the City for the same price. Fairview Ford has
assured staff that they would honor the base price quoted to the County, should the
City purchase the same vehicles. Any cost variances will be a result of added features,
such as two-tone (black and white) paint instead of solid white as the County specifies.
The City’s bid process mirrors that of the County and would likely yield the same
results. The Ranger truck and Transit van are generally delivered within 30-days of
order. The Police Interceptor SUVs, however, can only be ordered during certain
periods of the year. Approval of this item would ensure those vehicles are ordered
during this current allocation period.
To take advantage of the opportunity to order vehicles that may be delivered this year
and the additional $400 per vehicle discount that the County receives due to the
quantity of their order, staff is recommending a piggyback purchase process by using
the County’s bid results for this purchase.
The number and cost of each vehicle proposed for purchase is listed in the table below.
VEHICLE TYPE QUANTITY COST PER UNIT TOTAL
Ford Interceptor 13 $55,360.33 $719,684.29
Ford Ranger XLT 1 $45,137.83 $45,137.83
Ford Transit Passenger Van 1 $61,776.58 $61,776.58
Potentials Contingencies $3,401.30 $3,401.30
Total Quantity & Cost 14 N/A $830,000
2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
The request for the purchase of police vehicles aligns with Goal No. 2b: Focused,
Aligned Leadership and Unified Community: Evaluate operations and performance,
investment in resources, technology, and tools to continually improve organizational
efficiency and effectiveness.

DISCUSSION
City of San Bernardino
Request for Council Action
Date:April 2, 2025
To:Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From:Bill Gallardo, Interim City Manager
Department:City Manager's Office
Subject:City of San Bernardino Boards, Commissions, and
Citizen Advisory Committees - Updating the Regular
Meeting Dates, Times, and Locations (All Wards)
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino,
California,
1. Review and discuss current regular meeting dates, times, and locations for City
Boards, Commissions, and Citizen Advisory Committees; and
2. If appropriate, adopt Resolution No. 2025-272, repealing Resolution No. 2019-
22, amending the regular meeting dates, times, and locations for City Boards,
Commissions, and Citizen Advisory Committees.
Executive Summary
It is appropriate for the Mayor and City Council to periodically consider amendments
to the business procedures of the City’s boards, commissions, and citizen advisory
committees such as setting regular meeting dates, times, and locations. Administrative
changes are often necessary to accommodate meeting space availability, safety
concerns, or to improve participation, transparency, and public access.
Background
Section 601 of the City Charter stipulates "Except as provided elsewhere in this
Charter, the appointment, removal, and terms of office of boards, commissions,
committees and their members and the rules and regulations pertaining to the conduct
of board, commission or committee business shall be as prescribed by a vote of the
Mayor and entire Council, as provided in section 304(b) of this Charter.”
In October of 2018, the Mayor and City Council reviewed the existing advisory body
Packet Page. 579

system and made changes to ensure continued public involvement in the decision-
making process while streamlining the number of commissions to more efficiently
manage staff time. The Council adopted Resolution No. 2018-275, bylaws for the City’s
boards, commissions, and Citizen advisory committees, and Resolution No. 2018-276,
regular meeting dates, times, and locations.
In 2019, the Mayor and City Council repealed Resolution No. 2018-276 and replaced
it with Resolution No. 2019-22, adding a meeting date, time, and location for the newly
formed Arts and Historical Preservation Committee.
Discussion
Staff liaisons from the Library Board of Trustees and Water Board do not recommend
amendments to their meeting date, time, or location due to historical practices and the
potential for any changes to cause a lack of a quorum. Additionally, staff do not
recommend amending the date, time, or location of the Personnel Commission.
Hearings of the commission typically last the entire business day due to the nature of
their work and are often held in closed session. As a result, changing their meeting
time would create operational challenges.
Below is a table outlining the current regular meeting dates, times, and locations for
each of the City’s boards, committees, and commissions, based on the 2024 Maddy
Act Local Appointments list published on the City’s website.
