PUBLIC HEARING
July 2, 2025
Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
Bill Gallardo, Interim City Manager;
Lynn Merrill, Director of Public Works
Public Works
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino,
California:
1. Conduct a public hearing to receive public comments on the proposed
Maximum Permitted Service Rates for Integrated Solid Waste Collection,
Processing, and Disposal Services; and,
2. Determine if written protests have been received from the owners and tenants
of parcels which are subject to the Maximum Permitted Services Rates for
Integrated Solid Waste Collection, Processing, and Disposal and whether a
majority protest has been received; and,
3. If there is no majority protest, adopt Resolution No. 2025-310 of the Mayor and
City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California establishing the Maximum
Permitted Service Rates for Integrated Solid Waste Collection, Processing, and
Disposal starting July 2, 2025.
The City of San Bernardino (“City”) has an exclusive franchise agreement (“Franchise
Agreement”) with Burrtec Waste Industries (“Burrtec”) to provide solid waste, recycling
and organics collection and processing services to all residential, commercial and
industrial businesses within the City through automated carts, front-load bins, roll-
offs. Through the franchise agreement, Burrtec may request periodic rate increases
Packet Page. 16

to cover the costs of providing solid waste collection and processing services. The
proposed rate increase is $1.33 per residence; the CPI portion is 2.61% or $0.6895
while the remaining 2.39% is $0.6314 per single-family residential account. This
would raise the residential rate from $26.42 to $27.75 per month. Commercial rates
may increase from 2.61% to 8%, depending on the type and frequency of the
commercial service.
Under Proposition 218 (Article XIII D, Section 6 of the California Constitution), notice
of a public hearing regarding rate increases was mailed to property owners and tenants
of the properties receiving solid waste collection services 45 days in advance of this
scheduled public hearing. (Attachment 2).
Background
The term of the franchise agreement for solid waste services was initially April 1,
2016, through March 31, 2026 and was subsequently extended to March 31, 2031 by
the adoption of the Third Amendment to the Franchise Agreement on July 3, 2024.
Consumer Price Index Adjustments
Section 21.1.3 (a) of the franchise agreement between Burrtec and the City provides
that Burrtec may increase the Maximum Permitted Service Rates by the Consumer
Price Index (“CPI”) each July 1. Section 21.1.3(b) of the franchise agreement allows
for a CPI rate adjustment to a maximum of a 5% increase annually, with any amount
above 5% or below 0% carried forward and applied in subsequent years. Burrtec must
send the proposed rate adjustment calculations and full rate schedule to the City
Manager for review by March 1 of each year.
The CPI for the rate increases shall refer to the 12-month annual average
percentage change for the most recent January 1 – December 31 period, compared to
the prior January 1 – December 31 period, in the All Urban Consumers Index (CPI-U),
Not Seasonally Adjusted, All Items, Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario, CA, as
published by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Discussion
Burrtec has provided the City with the FY 2025-26 Proposed Solid Waste
Rate adjustments (See Attachment 3). Burrtec is entitled to a 2.61% CPI adjustment
for residential customers. Due to increased costs for materials and fuels, Burrtec
has requested an additional increase of 2.39% to recover a small portion of the overall
SB 1383 Residential Program Costs. This small increase for the SB 1383 organic
waste program recognizes that program costs for the implementation of the SB
1383 regulations are causing upward pressure on residential rates after the first full
year of implementation.
The total proposed rate increase is $1.33 per residence or 5.03%. In the proposed
current rate, the CPI portion is 2.61% or $0.6895 while the remaining 2.39% is $0.6314
per single-family residential account. This would raise the residential rate from $26.42
to $27.75 per month.

It's important to note that the City of San Bernardino continues to have the lowest rate
in the region, and that cities such as Los Angeles and San Diego are proposing monthly
residential rate increases above $50.00. Attachment 1 shows current and proposed
residential refuse rates in effect for 2024-2025 and proposed (where applicable) for
2025-2026 for various jurisdictions within the southern California area. As shown in
Attachment 1, residential refuse rates for FY2025-2026 range from $27.75 as proposed
for the City of San Bernardino to a high of $43.81 for the City of Ontario; the average
for 18 cities surveyed is $37.07.
In addition, Burrtec is entitled to CPI increase for Commercial Rates of 2.61%. With
SB 1383 Program Costs, these proposed increases range from 4-8% based on
frequency based on collection.
2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
Setting the public hearing aligns with Key Target No. 3c: Improved Quality of Life
by evaluating and enhancing the quality of public safety services and Key Target No.
3d: Improved Quality of Life by improving the City’s appearance, cleanliness,
and attractiveness
Fiscal Impact
There is an anticipated increase in revenues to the General Fund if the rate increase
is adopted by the Mayor and City Council. These revenues will vary based on the
types of solid waste services selected by the community. In FY 2024-25, the City
expects to receive $10,763,500 in franchise fees. If the solid waste rates are
approved, this amount may increase by approximately 5% in FY2025-26.
Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino,
California:
1. Conduct a public hearing to receive public comments on the proposed Maximum
Permitted Service Rates for Integrated Solid Waste Collection, Processing, and
Disposal Services; and,
2. Determine if written protests have been received from the owners and tenants
of parcels which are subject to the Maximum Permitted Services Rates for
Integrated Solid Waste Collection, Processing, and Disposal and whether a
majority protest has been received; and,
3. If there is no majority protest, adopt Resolution No. 2025-310 of the Mayor and
City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California establishing the Maximum
Permitted Service Rates for Integrated Solid Waste Collection, Processing, and
Disposal starting July 2, 2025.

Notice of Public Hearing to Consider
Proposition 218 Notification
Wednesday, July 2, 2025
Notice is hereby given that the City of San Bernardino (“City”) will conduct a public hearing on July 2, 2025, at 5 p.m. at
the Feldheym Central Library, 555 West 6th Street, San Bernardino, CA 92410 to consider adopting increases to the rates
for collection, processing, and disposal of solid waste within the City (collectively, “Solid Waste Services”).
The purpose of the public hearing is to consider all oral testimony and written protests to, and the adoption of, the
proposed rates. This 45-day notice is hereby given in accordance with Section 6(a) of Article XIII D of the California
Constitution.
About Solid Waste Collection Services and Rates
Burrtec Waste Industries, Inc. (“Burrtec”) provides solid waste services within the City under an exclusive franchise
agreement. In compliance with Proposition 218, Article XIII D of the California State Constitution, and the Proposition
218 Omnibus Implementation Act, the City hereby notifies all affected property owners and occupants of the properties
receiving Solid Waste Services of proposed rate increases for the City’s residential and commercial Solid Waste Services.
The proposed rate increase is necessary to cover the inflationary increase for Solid Waste Services and the costs of
providing mandatory organic waste collection services, required by the regulations implementing Senate Bill 1383
(Chapter 395, Statutes of 2016). These new rates will fund services such as weekly organic waste collection, outreach,
education, monitoring, and reporting to ensure compliance with SB 1383 regulations.
The rates will apply to six customer classes: (1) mobile home, (2) single-family, (3) multi-family dwelling, (4) commercial,
(5) roll-offs, and (6) additional services for other customers. The rate adjustments are based on factors including the size
and type of containers used (e.g., trash, recycling, or green/organic waste), as well as the frequency of waste pickups.
A public hearing will be held to consider these new rates. All interested persons are invited to participate in the hearing
and provide a written protest to the proposed rate increase. If the rates are adopted on July 2, 2025, they will become
effective on July 2, 2025. For questions about the Public Hearing process or the proposed rates, please call 909-384-5375
or visit https://sbcity.org/819/Solid-Waste-Rates.
Proposed Rates
The proposed FY 2025-26 rates include a 2.61% inflationary increase for residential and commercial customers. Burrtec
has requested an additional rate increase of 2.39% (for a total rate increase of 5%) due to increasing costs associated
with providing SB 1383 mandated organics recycling for residential and commercial customers in order to allow Burrtec
to recover a portion of the overall SB 1383 program costs for FY 2025-26, with the balance of these costs to be
recovered in FY 2026-27.
The table below shows examples of the current and proposed monthly rates for residential cart service and the base
commercial barrel service. For full rate details for all City customer service levels, roll-off services, and additional
services please see Exhibit A or visit the City of San Bernardino Solid Waste Rates page at https://sbcity.org/819/Solid-

to a 5% cap on Maximum Permitted Service Rates. Beginning July 1, 2026, and each July 1 thereafter, through
and including July 1, 2030, the then-current Maximum Permitted Service Rates will be adjusted by the 12-month
annual average percentage change for the most recent calendar year, compared to the prior calendar year, in
the All Urbans Consumer Index (CPI-U), Not Seasonally Adjusted, All Items, Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario,
CA, as published by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Statistics.
Public Hearing Process
Any property owner whose property is to be subject to the proposed increases to the rates for Solid Waste Services and
any tenant directly responsible for the payment of such fees (i.e., a customer of record) may submit a written protest to
the proposed rate increases; provided, however, only one protest will be counted per identified parcel.
Written protests must include the following:
(1) State that the identified property owner or tenant is in opposition to the proposed rate increase to the fees;
(2) The location of the identified parcel (by assessor’s parcel number or street address); and
(3) The name and signature of the property owner or tenant submitting the protest.
If the person submitting the written protest is the owner of record but was not shown on San Bernardino County’s last
equalized assessment roll as the property owner, that person must provide written evidence that the person is the
property owner.
Written protests may be submitted by mail or in person to the City Clerk’s Office, provided they are received prior to
3 p.m. on July 2, 2025. Written protests may also be submitted to the City Clerk at the Public Hearing prior to the close
of the public comment portion of the Public Hearing. Written protests submitted via e-mail will not be accepted. Please
identify on the front of the envelope for any protest, whether mailed or submitted in person, Attn: Solid Waste Rates.

The City Council will consider all written protests and hear and consider all oral comments regarding the proposed rate
increases for Solid Waste Services and the annual rate adjustments at the Public Hearing. Oral comments at the Public
Hearing will not qualify as formal protests unless accompanied by a written protest. Owners of multiple properties must
file a separate written protest for each property. Only one written protest per parcel will be counted. Protests sent by
email or fax , or received after the Public Hearing is closed, will not be counted. Public comments at the Hearing will not
qualify as a formal protest unless accompanied by a written protest.
After the conclusion of the Public Hearing, if written protests are submitted by a majority of affected property owners or
tenants of the parcels receiving Solid Waste Services, the proposed solid waste collection service rates may not be
implemented. If written protests are not submitted by a majority of affected property owners or tenants, then the City
Council may impose the rate increases. If adopted, the proposed rate increases will take effect beginning July 2, 2025.
The City is conducting this Proposition 218 majority protest proceeding out of an abundance of caution and without
conceding the applicability of Proposition 218 to Solid Waste Services.

WHEREAS, California Constitution article XIII D, section 6 (“Article XIII D”)
requires that prior to imposing any increase to the Charges, the City shall provide written notice

BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
SAN BERNARDINO AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. That the foregoing Recitals are true and correct and are incorporated herein by
this reference.
SECTION 2. The City Council hereby approves the maximum Charges, effective July 2, 2025,
for solid waste service at the maximum rates as set forth in Exhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated
herein by this reference.
SECTION 3. The City Council hereby adopts annual automatic adjustments for the then-
current maximum Charges effective July 1, 2026, and each July 1 thereafter, through and including
July 1, 2030, without further public hearings. Pursuant to such authority, the City shall be authorized
annually to increases the maximum Charges by the 12-month annual average percentage change for the
most recent calendar year, compared to the prior calendar year, in the All Urbans Consumer Index (CPI-
U), Not Seasonally Adjusted, All Items, Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario, CA, as published by the
U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Statistics, provided the City shall not increase the Charges by
more than five percent (5%) in any calendar year, and in no event shall any such annual automatic
adjustment cause the maximum Charges to exceed the cost of providing the Services. Prior to
implementing any increase in the maximum Charges as a result of the annual automatic adjustment, the
City shall provide written notice of the rate increase at least thirty (30) days in advance of the effective
date.
SECTION 4. To the extent any Charges established by this Resolution are inconsistent with
any Charges previously adopted by the City Council, it is the explicit intention of the City Council that
the Charges adopted pursuant to this Resolution shall prevail.

SECTION 5. This Resolution is not subject to the requirements of California Environmental
Quality Act (“CEQA”). The approval of this Resolution is not a “project” within the meaning of Section
15378 of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations (“State CEQA Guidelines”) because it has no
potential for resulting in direct or indirect physical change in the environment. The Charges are exempt
from CEQA pursuant to California Public Resources Code section 21080(b)(8) and State CEQA
Guidelines section 15273(a) because such charges are necessary and reasonable to fund the
administration, operation, maintenance, and improvements of the solid waste collection system. The
documents and materials that constitute the record of proceedings on which these findings have been
based are located at 215 North “D” Street, San Bernardino, CA 92401. The custodian for these records
is the City Clerk of the City.
SECTION 6. If any section, subsection, subdivision, sentence, clause, or phrase in this
Resolution or any part thereof is for any reason held to be unconstitutional, invalid, or ineffective by
any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity or effectiveness of the
remaining portions of this Resolution or any part thereof. The City Council hereby declares that it would
have adopted each section irrespective of the fact that any one or more subsections, subdivisions,
sentences, clauses, or phrases be declared unconstitutional, invalid, or ineffective.
SECTION 7. This Resolution shall take effect immediately upon adoption
SECTION 8. The City Clerk shall attest and certify to the passage and adoption thereof.
APPROVED and ADOPTED by the City Council and signed by the Mayor and

CONSENT CALENDAR
July 2, 2025
Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
Bill Gallardo, Interim City Manager
City Manager’s Office
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino,
California, adopt Resolution No. 2025-323:
1. Authorizing the City to become a member of the California Community
Housing Agency (CalCHA); and
2. Approving and authorizing the City Manager to enter into a Joint Exercise
of Powers Agreement relating to the Agency and one or more Public Benefit
Agreements with the Agency; and
3. Approving the Agency’s issuance of Revenue Bonds for the new
construction of essential middle-income housing projects within City limits.
The proposed action would authorize the City of San Bernardino to join the California
Community Housing Agency (CalCHA), a Joint Powers Authority formed to support
workforce housing. By becoming a member, the City can facilitate new housing projects
using tax-exempt revenue bonds issued by CalCHA—at no financial risk to the City.
This partnership also allows the City to take advantage of state incentives, including
Assembly Bill 2011, to help meet the growing need for middle-income housing. The
initiative aligns with the City’s housing priorities and supports long-term economic and
community development.
The Essential Middle-Income Affordable Housing Program, in partnership with the
California Community Housing Agency (CalCHA), leverages state legislation—
including Assembly Bill 2011—to support the development of mixed-use workforce
housing. AB 2011 allows qualifying projects in commercial zones to proceed with by-
Packet Page. 99

right approval, streamlining entitlements by removing discretionary reviews and
significantly reducing approval timelines.
Projects under this program must be new construction and are required to use
prevailing-wage labor, creating an estimated 700 construction jobs per development.
Long-term affordability is protected through recorded 55-year covenants, with rents
set below the market rate and a guaranteed minimum 10% rent discount. These units
are targeted at households earning between 60% and 110% of the area median
income (AMI), providing much-needed housing for residents who often earn too much
to qualify for traditional affordable housing but are priced out of market-rate units.
Discussion
Each development will also include a commercial component, which will contribute to
local revenue through property taxes and retail activity. Projects must comply with all
City planning and permitting requirements, ADA standards, and standard business
and sales tax regulations, ensuring consistency with local policies and oversight.
One potential future site for the project is located along 2nd Street, between Warm
Creek and Mt. View Avenue. This location is well-positioned near major
transportation corridors and is just over ¼ mile from a transit center, which qualifies it
under Article 3 of AB 2011 for increased density (up to 80 units per acre) and
potential parking reductions. Additionally, the site is within a five-mile radius of a
significant concentration of employment, making it a strong candidate for workforce
housing development.
A proposed mixed-use development at this site would include approximately 230 to
236 residential units and about 4,000 square feet of retail space, potentially
accommodating a market and deli. This concept aims to help address the critical
shortage of middle-income housing while supporting local businesses, stimulating
economic activity, and fostering a walkable, integrated community.
Strategic Targets and Goals
This initiative advances the City’s goals to expand middle-income housing, support
local job creation, and encourage investment in underutilized areas. The project’s
location near a transit center promotes walkable, higher-density development. By
partnering with CalCHA, the City can achieve these outcomes without financial impact
to the General Fund.
Fiscal Impact
The City will not incur any financial obligation or assume debt through participation in
CalCHA. The agency issues tax-exempt revenue bonds independently, with no risk or
liability to the City. Staff time will be needed for permitting and coordination. While
CalCHA projects may receive partial property tax exemptions, revenue can still be
generated from commercial components and leasehold assessments. This structure
supports workforce housing without impacting the City’s General Fund.

Purchase Gift Price and the prorations in Section 8(a) hereof.

Project Administrator at the time of Closing.
Section 9. Gifted Property: Title Insurance, Title Defects.
(a) Within fifteen (15) business days after it receives an Exercise Notice specifying
Project Administrator’s intent to purchase the Gifted Property, Owner shall provide Project
Administrator with a title commitment (the “Title Commitment”) in the customary ALTA form of
Standard Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance in Project Administrator’s favor, for the amount
equivalent to the Purchase Gift Price (whichever is applicable), with a commitment to insure good
and marketable fee simple title to the Gifted Property in Project Administrator, issued by a title
insurance company licensed to do business in the State of California and acceptable to Project
Administrator (the “Title Company”). The policy shall show the status of title to the Gifted
Property and show all exceptions, including easements, restrictions, rights-of-way, covenants,
reservations, and other conditions of record, if any, affecting the subject real estate. Accompanying
the Title Commitment, Owner shall also have Title Company furnish Project Administrator with
true, correct, complete, and legible copies of all documents affecting title to the subject real estate.
The cost and expense of such Standard Owner’s Title Commitment shall be payable as a
Transaction Cost. Project Administrator shall pay the additional premium due if Project
Administrator elects to obtain an extended coverage policy of title insurance and/or extended
coverage endorsements. Owner shall cooperate with Project Administrator, at no expense to
Owner, by providing an affidavit to Title Company to induce Title Company to issue to Project
Administrator at Closing a “GAP” endorsement to the Title Commitment showing the effective
date of the Title Commitment to be the time and date of Closing.
(b) If the Title Commitment shows exceptions to title which are unacceptable to
Project Administrator, Project Administrator shall, within ten (10) business days after receipt of
the Title Commitment and not later than twenty (20) business days before the date for Closing,
notify Owner of such fact and Owner shall have twenty (20) business days after Owner receives
Project Administrator’s written objections to cure such defects and to present a Title Commitment
Packet Page. 112
7
4160-9700-5108.2
on the basis of which Closing may occur or to notify Project Administrator that Owner will not
cure same. If Owner cannot or will not cure such defects within such twenty (20) business day
period and thereafter convey title to the Gifted Property as required in this Agreement, then Project
Administrator shall have the right (at Project Administrator’s Gift) to either:
(i) Rescind the Exercise Notice and Owner may proceed to close the sale under
the terms of a Third-Party Sale, if there is a third-party offer; or
(ii) Accept whatever title Owner can or will convey, without reduction in the
purchase price because of such title defects. Any exceptions to title disclosed on the
Title Commitment to which Project Administrator does not timely object to in writing
or to which Project Administrator objects but thereafter accepts by Closing shall be
included as a “Permitted Exception.”
Section 10. Assignment of Gift. Project Administrator shall not assign the Gift without
the prior written consent of Owner, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and delivery
of an Opinion of Bond Counsel to Owner substantially to the effect that such assignment will not,
in and of itself, adversely affect the exclusion of interest on the tax-exempt Bonds from gross
income for purposes of federal income taxation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither party to
this Agreement shall assign its interests, obligations, rights and/or responsibilities under this
Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party.
Section 11. Recording of Agreement. This Agreement, and any amendment thereto,
shall be recorded with the recorder’s office of the County. Project Administrator shall cooperate
with Owner to remove any such recorded Agreement or amendment thereto from title to the Gifted
Property upon Owner’s reasonable request therefor and, in any event, by no later than the earliest
of (i) a Conveyance or (ii) the expiration of the Gift Term. In the event that, within said time,
Project Administrator fails to so cooperate and provide its original signature to a termination of
such recorded Agreement or amendment thereto, then Project Administrator hereby irrevocably
constitutes and appoints Owner as Project Administrator’s true and lawful attorney (and agent-in-
fact) strictly for the purpose of executing in Project Administrator’s name any such termination.
Section 12. Conditions Precedent; Effective Date. Effectiveness of this Agreement
shall be conditioned upon satisfaction of each of the following conditions:
(a) Issuance of the Bonds;
(b) Purchase of the Gifted Property by Owner as evidenced by a grant deed or
comparable instrument; and
(c) Recording in the real property records of the County of this Agreement and
the Regulatory Agreement.
The first date upon which each of the above conditions is satisfied shall be the effective date of
this Agreement (the “Effective Date”).

Administrator’s exercise or waiver of same, or otherwise except in the case of such Owner
Indemnified Person’s own willful misconduct.
(c) No officer or employee of Project Administrator shall be personally liable to
Owner, or any successor in interest, in the event of any default or breach by Project Administrator

CHAPTER 647
An act to amend Sections 65400 and 65585 of, and to add and repeal
Chapter 4.1 (commencing with Section 65912.100) of Division 1 of Title
7 of, the Government Code, relating to housing.
[Approved by Governor September 28, 2022. Filed with
Secretary of State September 28, 2022.]
legislative counsel’s digest
AB 2011, Wicks. Affordable Housing and High Road Jobs Act of 2022.
The Planning and Zoning Law authorizes a development proponent to
submit an application for a multifamily housing development that is subject
to a streamlined, ministerial approval process and not subject to a conditional
use permit if the development satisfies specified objective planning
standards.
This bill would create the Affordable Housing and High Road Jobs Act
of 2022, which would authorize a development proponent to submit an
application for a housing development that meets specified objective
standards and affordability and site criteria, including being located within
a zone where office, retail, or parking are a principally permitted use, and
would make the development a use by right and subject to one of 2
streamlined, ministerial review processes. The bill would require a
development proponent for a housing development project approved pursuant
to the streamlined, ministerial review process to require, in contracts with
construction contractors, that certain wage and labor standards will be met,
including a requirement that all construction workers be paid at least the
general prevailing rate of wages, as specified. The bill would require a
development proponent to certify to the local government that those
standards will be met in project construction. By expanding the crime of
perjury, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program.
This bill would require the Labor Commissioner to enforce the obligation
to pay prevailing wages. The bill would require a development proponent
for a development of 50 or more housing units approved by a local
government pursuant to the above-described provisions to require
construction contractors to participate in an apprenticeship program or
request dispatch of apprentices from a state-approved apprenticeship
program, and to make specified health care expenditures for construction
craft employees. The bill would require the development proponent to certify
compliance with those requirements to the local government and to report
monthly to the local government that they are in compliance with those
requirements. The bill would subject the development proponent and the
construction contractors and subcontractors to specified civil penalties for
90
STATE OF CALIFORNIA
AUTHENTICATED
ELECTRONIC LEGAL MATERIAL
Packet Page. 120
failing to comply with those requirements, and would require the penalty
funds to be deposited in the State Public Works Enforcement Fund. The bill
would prohibit a local government from imposing any requirement, including
increased fees, on the basis that the project is eligible to receive ministerial
or streamlined approval. Because the bill would impose new duties on local
governments, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program.
This bill would require the Department of Housing and Community
Development to undertake specified studies of the outcomes of the
Affordable Housing and High Road Jobs Act of 2022, to publish reports on
the findings of those studies, to post the reports on its internet website, and
to submit the reports to the Legislature.
This bill would repeal the provisions of the Affordable Housing and High
Road Jobs Act of 2022 on January 1, 2033.
The Planning and Zoning Law requires a city or county to adopt a general
plan for land use development within its boundaries that includes, among
other things, a housing element. The law also requires a planning agency
to provide a specified annual report after the legislative body has adopted
all or part of a general plan.
This bill would require the annual report to include specified information
about applications for housing developments submitted pursuant to the
Affordable Housing and High Road Jobs Act of 2022.
The Planning and Zoning Law also requires the Department of Housing
and Community Development to notify the city, county, or city and county,
and authorizes the department to notify the Attorney General, that the city,
county, or city and county is in violation of state law if the department finds
that the housing element or an amendment to that element, or any specified
action or failure to act, does not substantially comply with the law as it
pertains to housing elements or that any local government has taken an
action in violation of certain housing laws.
This bill would add the Affordable Housing and High Road Jobs Act of
2022 to that list of housing laws.
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires a lead agency,
as defined, to prepare, or cause to be prepared, and certify the completion
of, an environmental impact report on a project that it proposes to carry out
or approve that may have a significant effect on the environment or to adopt
a negative declaration if it finds that the project will not have that effect.
CEQA also requires a lead agency to prepare a mitigated negative declaration
for a project that may have a significant effect on the environment if revisions
in the project would avoid or mitigate that effect and there is no substantial
evidence that the project, as revised, would have a significant effect on the
environment. CEQA does not apply to the approval of ministerial projects.
This bill would define “use by right” for purposes of the Affordable
Housing and High Road Jobs Act of 2022, in part, as a development project
that is not a project for purposes of CEQA, and the approval process
established by this bill would be ministerial in nature, thereby exempting
the approval of development projects subject to that approval process from
CEQA.

This bill would incorporate additional changes to Section 65400 of the
Government Code proposed by AB 1743, AB 2094, and AB 2653, to be
operative only if this bill and any one or a combination of AB 1743, AB
2094, and AB 2653, are enacted, and this bill is enacted last, as described.
This bill would incorporate additional changes to Section 65585 of the
Government Code proposed by AB 2097 and AB 2653 to be operative only
if this bill and either or both of AB 2097 and AB 2653 are enacted, and this
bill is enacted last, as described.
The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies
and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory
provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.
This bill would provide that with regard to certain mandates no
reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
With regard to any other mandates, this bill would provide that, if the
Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs so
mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant
to the statutory provisions noted above.
This bill would make its provisions operative on July 1, 2023.
The people of the State of California do enact as follows:
SECTION 1. Section 65400 of the Government Code is amended to
read:
65400. (a) After the legislative body has adopted all or part of a general
plan, the planning agency shall do both of the following:
(1) Investigate and make recommendations to the legislative body
regarding reasonable and practical means for implementing the general plan
or element of the general plan, so that it will serve as an effective guide for
orderly growth and development, preservation and conservation of
open-space land and natural resources, and the efficient expenditure of
public funds relating to the subjects addressed in the general plan.
(2) Provide by April 1 of each year an annual report to the legislative
body, the Office of Planning and Research, and the Department of Housing
and Community Development that includes all of the following:
(A) The status of the plan and progress in its implementation.
(B) (i) The progress in meeting its share of regional housing needs
determined pursuant to Section 65584 and local efforts to remove
governmental constraints to the maintenance, improvement, and development

requirements of this article pursuant to this section, that the court issue an
order or judgment directing the jurisdiction to bring its housing element
into substantial compliance with the requirements of this article. The court
shall retain jurisdiction to ensure that its order or judgment is carried out.
If a court determines that the housing element of the jurisdiction substantially
complies with this article, it shall have the same force and effect, for purposes
of eligibility for any financial assistance that requires a housing element in
substantial compliance and for purposes of any incentives provided under
Section 65589.9, as a determination by the department that the housing
element substantially complies with this article.
(1) If the jurisdiction has not complied with the order or judgment after
12 months, the court shall conduct a status conference. Following the status
conference, upon a determination that the jurisdiction failed to comply with
the order or judgment compelling substantial compliance with the
requirements of this article, the court shall impose fines on the jurisdiction,
which shall be deposited into the Building Homes and Jobs Trust Fund.
Any fine levied pursuant to this paragraph shall be in a minimum amount
of ten thousand dollars ($10,000) per month, but shall not exceed one
hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) per month, except as provided in
paragraphs (2) and (3). In the event that the jurisdiction fails to pay fines
imposed by the court in full and on time, the court may require the Controller
to intercept any available state and local funds and direct such funds to the
Building Homes and Jobs Trust Fund to correct the jurisdiction’s failure to
pay. The intercept of the funds by the Controller for this purpose shall not
violate any provision of the California Constitution.
(2) If the jurisdiction has not complied with the order or judgment after
three months following the imposition of fees described in paragraph (1),
the court shall conduct a status conference. Following the status conference,
if the court finds that the fees imposed pursuant to paragraph (1) are
insufficient to bring the jurisdiction into compliance with the order or
judgment, the court may multiply the fine determined pursuant to paragraph
(1) by a factor of three. In the event that the jurisdiction fails to pay fines
imposed by the court in full and on time, the court may require the Controller
to intercept any available state and local funds and direct such funds to the
Building Homes and Jobs Trust Fund to correct the jurisdiction’s failure to
pay. The intercept of the funds by the Controller for this purpose shall not
violate any provision of the California Constitution.

jurisdiction failed to comply with the order or judgment, the court may
impose the following:
(A) If the court finds that the fees imposed pursuant to paragraphs (1)
and (2) are insufficient to bring the jurisdiction into compliance with the
order or judgment, the court may multiply the fine determined pursuant to
paragraph (1) by a factor of six. In the event that the jurisdiction fails to pay
fines imposed by the court in full and on time, the court may require the
Controller to intercept any available state and local funds and direct such
funds to the Building Homes and Jobs Trust Fund to correct the jurisdiction’s
failure to pay. The intercept of the funds by the Controller for this purpose
shall not violate any provision of the California Constitution.
(B) The court may order remedies available pursuant to Section 564 of
the Code of Civil Procedure, under which the agent of the court may take
all governmental actions necessary to bring the jurisdiction’s housing element
into substantial compliance pursuant to this article in order to remedy
identified deficiencies. The court shall determine whether the housing
element of the jurisdiction substantially complies with this article and, once
the court makes that determination, it shall have the same force and effect,
for all purposes, as the department’s determination that the housing element
substantially complies with this article. An agent appointed pursuant to this
paragraph shall have expertise in planning in California.
(4) This subdivision does not limit a court’s discretion to apply any and
all remedies in an action or special proceeding for a violation of any law
identified in subdivision (j).
(m) In determining the application of the remedies available under
subdivision (l), the court shall consider whether there are any mitigating
circumstances delaying the jurisdiction from coming into compliance with
state housing law. The court may consider whether a city, county, or city
and county is making a good faith effort to come into substantial compliance
or is facing substantial undue hardships.
(n) Nothing in this section shall limit the authority of the office of the
Attorney General to bring a suit to enforce state law in an independent
capacity. The office of the Attorney General may seek all remedies available
under law including those set forth in this section.
(o) Notwithstanding Sections 11040 and 11042, if the Attorney General
declines to represent the department in any action or special proceeding
brought pursuant to a notice or referral under subdivision (j) the department
may appoint or contract with other counsel for purposes of representing the
department in the action or special proceeding.
(p) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the statute of limitations
set forth in subdivision (a) of Section 338 of the Code of Civil Procedure
shall apply to any action or special proceeding brought by the Office of the

paragraph does not affect any action filed prior to the effective date of this
section. The requirements set forth in this subdivision do not apply to any
suits brought for a violation or violations of paragraphs (1) and (3) to (9),
inclusive, of subdivision (j).
(l) In any action or special proceeding brought by the Attorney General
relating to housing element compliance pursuant to a notice or referral under
subdivision (j), the Attorney General may request, upon a finding of the
court that the housing element does not substantially comply with the
requirements of this article pursuant to this section, that the court issue an
order or judgment directing the jurisdiction to bring its housing element
into substantial compliance with the requirements of this article. The court
shall retain jurisdiction to ensure that its order or judgment is carried out.
If a court determines that the housing element of the jurisdiction substantially
complies with this article, it shall have the same force and effect, for purposes
of eligibility for any financial assistance that requires a housing element in

Section 65589.9, as a determination by the department that the housing
element substantially complies with this article.
(1) If the jurisdiction has not complied with the order or judgment after
12 months, the court shall conduct a status conference. Following the status
conference, upon a determination that the jurisdiction failed to comply with
the order or judgment compelling substantial compliance with the
requirements of this article, the court shall impose fines on the jurisdiction,
which shall be deposited into the Building Homes and Jobs Trust Fund.
Any fine levied pursuant to this paragraph shall be in a minimum amount

Packet Page. 156
of ten thousand dollars ($10,000) per month, but shall not exceed one
hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) per month, except as provided in
paragraphs (2) and (3). In the event that the jurisdiction fails to pay fines
imposed by the court in full and on time, the court may require the Controller
to intercept any available state and local funds and direct such funds to the
Building Homes and Jobs Trust Fund to correct the jurisdiction’s failure to
pay. The intercept of the funds by the Controller for this purpose shall not
violate any provision of the California Constitution.
(2) If the jurisdiction has not complied with the order or judgment after
three months following the imposition of fees described in paragraph (1),
the court shall conduct a status conference. Following the status conference,
if the court finds that the fees imposed pursuant to paragraph (1) are
insufficient to bring the jurisdiction into compliance with the order or
judgment, the court may multiply the fine determined pursuant to paragraph
(1) by a factor of three. In the event that the jurisdiction fails to pay fines
imposed by the court in full and on time, the court may require the Controller
to intercept any available state and local funds and direct such funds to the
Building Homes and Jobs Trust Fund to correct the jurisdiction’s failure to
pay. The intercept of the funds by the Controller for this purpose shall not
violate any provision of the California Constitution.
(3) If the jurisdiction has not complied with the order or judgment six
months following the imposition of fees described in paragraph (1), the
court shall conduct a status conference. Upon a determination that the
jurisdiction failed to comply with the order or judgment, the court may
impose the following:
(A) If the court finds that the fees imposed pursuant to paragraphs (1)
and (2) are insufficient to bring the jurisdiction into compliance with the
order or judgment, the court may multiply the fine determined pursuant to
paragraph (1) by a factor of six. In the event that the jurisdiction fails to pay
fines imposed by the court in full and on time, the court may require the
Controller to intercept any available state and local funds and direct such
funds to the Building Homes and Jobs Trust Fund to correct the jurisdiction’s
failure to pay. The intercept of the funds by the Controller for this purpose
shall not violate any provision of the California Constitution.
(B) The court may order remedies available pursuant to Section 564 of
the Code of Civil Procedure, under which the agent of the court may take
all governmental actions necessary to bring the jurisdiction’s housing element
into substantial compliance pursuant to this article in order to remedy
identified deficiencies. The court shall determine whether the housing
element of the jurisdiction substantially complies with this article and, once
the court makes that determination, it shall have the same force and effect,
for all purposes, as the department’s determination that the housing element
substantially complies with this article. An agent appointed pursuant to this
paragraph shall have expertise in planning in California.
(4) This subdivision does not limit a court’s discretion to apply any and
all remedies in an action or special proceeding for a violation of any law
identified in subdivision (j).
90

Packet Page. 157
(m) In determining the application of the remedies available under
subdivision (l), the court shall consider whether there are any mitigating
circumstances delaying the jurisdiction from coming into compliance with
state housing law. The court may consider whether a city, county, or city
and county is making a good faith effort to come into substantial compliance
or is facing substantial undue hardships.
(n) Nothing in this section shall limit the authority of the office of the
Attorney General to bring a suit to enforce state law in an independent
capacity. The office of the Attorney General may seek all remedies available
under law including those set forth in this section.
(o) Notwithstanding Sections 11040 and 11042, if the Attorney General
declines to represent the department in any action or special proceeding
brought pursuant to a notice or referral under subdivision (j) the department
may appoint or contract with other counsel for purposes of representing the
department in the action or special proceeding.
(p) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the statute of limitations

(A) The commercial tenant entered into a lease on the site after the
development proponent’s submission of the application for a housing
development pursuant to this article.
(B) The commercial tenant had not previously entered into a lease on
the site.

development proponent to relocate the business or for costs of a new
business.
(B) Notwithstanding paragraph (2), if the commercial tenant elects not
to use the funds provided as required by subparagraph (A), the development
proponent shall provide only assistance equal to three months’ rent,
regardless of the duration of the commercial tenant’s lease.
(7) For purposes of this subdivision, monthly rent is equal to one-twelfth
of the total amount of rent paid by the commercial tenant in the last 12
months.
(j) Other objective zoning standards, objective subdivision standards,
and objective design review standards as follows:
(1) The applicable objective standards shall be those for the closest zone
in the city, county, or city and county that allows multifamily residential
use at the residential density determined pursuant to subdivision (b). If no
zone exists that allows the residential density determined pursuant to
subdivision (b), the applicable objective standards shall be those for the
zone that allows the greatest density within the city, county, or city and
county.
(2) The applicable objective standards shall be those in effect at the time
that the development application is submitted to the local government
pursuant to this article.

(4) For purposes of this section, “objective zoning standards,” “objective
subdivision standards,” and “objective design review standards” mean
standards that involve no personal or subjective judgment by a public official
and are uniformly verifiable by reference to an external and uniform
benchmark or criterion available and knowable by both the development
applicant or proponent and the public official before submittal. These
standards may be embodied in alternative objective land use specifications
adopted by a city or county, and may include, but are not limited to, housing
overlay zones, specific plans, inclusionary zoning ordinances, and density
bonus ordinances. In the event that objective zoning, general plan,
subdivision, or design review standards are mutually inconsistent, a
development shall be deemed consistent with the objective zoning and
subdivision standards pursuant to this subdivision if the development is
consistent with the standards set forth in the general plan.
65912.124. (a) (1) If the local government determines that a
development submitted pursuant to this article is consistent with the objective
planning standards specified in this article, it shall approve the development.
(2) If a local government determines that a development submitted
pursuant to this article is in conflict with any of the objective planning
standards specified in this article, it shall provide the development proponent
written documentation of which standard or standards the development
conflicts with, and an explanation for the reason or reasons the development
conflicts with that standard or standards, within the following timeframes:
(A) Within 60 days of submittal of the development proposal to the local
government if the development contains 150 or fewer housing units.
(B) Within 90 days of submittal of the development proposal to the local
government if the development contains more than 150 housing units.
(b) If the local government fails to provide the required documentation
pursuant to subdivision (a), the development shall be deemed to satisfy the
required objective planning standards.
(c) (1) For purposes of this section, a development is consistent with the
objective planning standards if there is substantial evidence that would allow
a reasonable person to conclude that the development is consistent with the
objective planning standards.
(2) For purposes of this section, a development is not in conflict with the
objective planning standards solely on the basis that application materials
are not included, if the application contains substantial evidence that would
allow a reasonable person to conclude that the development is consistent
with the objective planning standards.
(d) The determination of whether a proposed project submitted pursuant
to this section is or is not in conflict with the objective planning standards
is not a “project” as defined in Section 21065 of the Public Resources Code.
(e) Design review of the development may be conducted by the local
government’s planning commission or any equivalent board or commission
responsible for review and approval of development projects, or the city
council or board of supervisors, as appropriate. That design review shall be
objective and be strictly focused on assessing compliance with criteria
90
— 58 — Ch. 647
Packet Page. 177
required for streamlined, ministerial review of projects, as well as any
reasonable objective design standards published and adopted by ordinance
or resolution by a local jurisdiction before submittal of the development to
the local government, and shall be broadly applicable to developments
within the jurisdiction. That design review shall be completed as follows
and shall not in any way inhibit, chill, or preclude the ministerial approval
provided by this section or its effect, as applicable:
(1) Within 90 days of submittal of the development proposal to the local
government pursuant to this section if the development contains 150 or
fewer housing units.
(2) Within 180 days of submittal of the development proposal to the local
government pursuant to this section if the development contains more than
150 housing units.
(f) A housing development proposed pursuant to this article shall be
eligible for a density bonus, incentives or concessions, waivers or reductions
of development standards, and parking ratios pursuant to Section 65915,
except that the project shall not use a concession to reduce a local
government requirement for the provision of ground floor retail that is
consistent with the allowance contained in paragraph (3) of subdivision (j)
of Section 65912.123.
(g) The local government shall ensure that the project satisfies the
requirements specified in subdivision (d) of Section 66300, regardless of
whether the development is within or not within an affected city or within
or not within an affected county.
(h) If the development is consistent with all objective subdivision
standards in the local subdivision ordinance, an application for a subdivision
pursuant to the Subdivision Map Act (Division 2 (commencing with Section
66410)) shall be exempt from the requirements of the California
Environmental Quality Act (Division 13 (commencing with Section 21000)
of the Public Resources Code).
(i) A local government may exempt a parcel from this section before a
development proponent submits a development application on a parcel
pursuant to this article if the local government makes written findings
establishing all of the following:
(1) The local government has identified a parcel or parcels that meet the
criteria described in subdivisions (b) and (e) to (h), inclusive, of Section
65912.121.
(2) (A) If a parcel identified in paragraph (1) would not otherwise be
eligible for development pursuant to this chapter, the local government has
permitted the parcel to be developed pursuant to the requirements of this
chapter.
(B) If a parcel identified in paragraph (1) would otherwise be eligible
for development pursuant to this chapter, the local government has permitted
residential densities above the residential density required in subdivision
(b) of Section 65912.123 and heights required in subdivision (c) of Section
65912.123.
90
Ch. 647 — 59 —

will result in all of the following:
(A) No net loss of the total potential residential density in the jurisdiction.
(B) No net loss of the potential residential density of housing affordable
to lower income households in the jurisdiction.
(C) Affirmative furthering of fair housing.
(j) A local government’s approval of a development pursuant to this
section shall, notwithstanding any other law, be subject to the expiration
timeframes specified in subdivision (f) of Section 65913.4.
(k) Any proposed modifications to a development project approved
pursuant to this section shall be undertaken pursuant to subdivision (g) of
Section 65913.4.
(l) A local government shall not adopt or impose any requirement,
including, but not limited to, increased fees or inclusionary housing
requirements, that applies to a project solely or partially on the basis that
the project is eligible to receive streamlined, ministerial review pursuant to
this section.
(m) A local government shall issue a subsequent permit required for a
development approved under this section pursuant to paragraph (2) of
subdivision (h) of Section 65913.4.
(n) A public improvement that is necessary to implement a development
that is approved pursuant to this section shall be undertaken pursuant to
paragraph (3) of subdivision (h) of Section 65913.4.
(o) A local government may adopt an ordinance to implement the
provisions of this article. An ordinance adopted to implement this section
shall not be considered a “project” under Division 13 (commencing with
Section 21000) of the Public Resources Code.
Article 4. Labor Standards
65912.130. A development project approved by a local government
pursuant to Article 2 (commencing with Section 65912.110) or Article 3
(commencing with Section 65912.120) shall meet all of the following labor
standards:
(a) The development proponent shall require in contracts with
construction contractors, and shall certify to the local government, that the
standards specified in this section will be met in project construction.
(b) A development that is not in its entirety a public work for purposes
of Chapter 1 (commencing with Section 1720) of Part 7 of Division 2 of
the Labor Code and approved by a local government pursuant to Article 2
(commencing with Section 65912.110) or Article 3 (commencing with
Section 65912.120) shall be subject to all of the following:
(1) All construction workers employed in the execution of the
development shall be paid at least the general prevailing rate of per diem
wages for the type of work and geographic area, as determined by the
Director of Industrial Relations pursuant to Sections 1773 and 1773.9 of
90
— 60 — Ch. 647
Packet Page. 179
the Labor Code, except that apprentices registered in programs approved
by the Chief of the Division of Apprenticeship Standards may be paid at
least the applicable apprentice prevailing rate.
(2) The development proponent shall ensure that the prevailing wage
requirement is included in all contracts for the performance of the work for
those portions of the development that are not a public work.
(3) All contractors and subcontractors for those portions of the
development that are not a public work shall comply with both of the
following:
(A) Pay to all construction workers employed in the execution of the
work at least the general prevailing rate of per diem wages, except that
apprentices registered in programs approved by the Chief of the Division
of Apprenticeship Standards may be paid at least the applicable apprentice
prevailing rate.
(B) Maintain and verify payroll records pursuant to Section 1776 of the
Labor Code and make those records available for inspection and copying
as provided in that section. This subparagraph does not apply if all
contractors and subcontractors performing work on the development are
subject to a project labor agreement that requires the payment of prevailing
wages to all construction workers employed in the execution of the
development and provides for enforcement of that obligation through an
arbitration procedure. For purposes of this subparagraph, “project labor
agreement” has the same meaning as set forth in paragraph (1) of subdivision
(b) of Section 2500 of the Public Contract Code.
(c) (1) The obligation of the contractors and subcontractors to pay
prevailing wages pursuant to this section may be enforced by any of the
following:
(A) The Labor Commissioner through the issuance of a civil wage and
penalty assessment pursuant to Section 1741 of the Labor Code, which may
be reviewed pursuant to Section 1742 of the Labor Code, within 18 months
after the completion of the development.
(B) An underpaid worker through an administrative complaint or civil
action.
(C) A joint labor-management committee through a civil action under
Section 1771.2 of the Labor Code.
(2) If a civil wage and penalty assessment is issued pursuant to this
section, the contractor, subcontractor, and surety on a bond or bonds issued
to secure the payment of wages covered by the assessment shall be liable
for liquidated damages pursuant to Section 1742.1 of the Labor Code.
(3) This subdivision does not apply if all contractors and subcontractors
performing work on the development are subject to a project labor agreement
that requires the payment of prevailing wages to all construction workers
employed in the execution of the development and provides for enforcement
of that obligation through an arbitration procedure. For purposes of this
subdivision, “project labor agreement” has the same meaning as set forth
in paragraph (1) of subdivision (b) of Section 2500 of the Public Contract
Code.
90
Ch. 647 — 61 —
Packet Page. 180
(d) Notwithstanding subdivision (c) of Section 1773.1 of the Labor Code,
the requirement that employer payments not reduce the obligation to pay
the hourly straight time or overtime wages found to be prevailing does not
apply to those portions of development that are not a public work if otherwise
provided in a bona fide collective bargaining agreement covering the worker.
(e) The requirement of this section to pay at least the general prevailing
rate of per diem wages does not preclude use of an alternative workweek
schedule adopted pursuant to Section 511 or 514 of the Labor Code.
65912.131. In addition to the requirements of Section 65912.130, a
development of 50 or more housing units approved by a local government
pursuant to Article 2 (commencing with Section 65912.110) or Article 3
(commencing with Section 65912.120) shall meet all of the following labor
standards:
(a) The development proponent shall require in contracts with
construction contractors and shall certify to the local government that each
contractor of any tier who will employ construction craft employees or will
let subcontracts for at least 1,000 hours shall satisfy the requirements in
subdivisions (b) and (c). A construction contractor is deemed in compliance
with subdivisions (b) and (c) if it is signatory to a valid collective bargaining
agreement that requires utilization of registered apprentices and expenditures
on health care for employees and dependents.
(b) A contractor with construction craft employees shall either participate
in an apprenticeship program approved by the State of California Division
of Apprenticeship Standards pursuant to Section 3075 of the Labor Code,
or request the dispatch of apprentices from a state-approved apprenticeship
program under the terms and conditions set forth in Section 1777.5 of the
Labor Code. A contractor without construction craft employees shall show
a contractual obligation that its subcontractors comply with this subdivision.
(c) Each contractor with construction craft employees shall make health
care expenditures for each employee in an amount per hour worked on the
development equivalent to at least the hourly pro rata cost of a Covered
California Platinum level plan for two 40-year-old adults and two dependents
0 to 14 years of age for the Covered California rating area in which the
development is located. A contractor without construction craft employees
shall show a contractual obligation that its subcontractors comply with this
subdivision. Qualifying expenditures shall be credited toward compliance
with prevailing wage payment requirements set forth in Section 65912.130.
(d) (1) The development proponent shall provide to the local government,
on a monthly basis while its construction contracts on the development are
being performed, a report demonstrating compliance with subdivisions (b)
and (c). The reports shall be considered public records under the California
Public Records Act (Division 10 (commencing with Section 7920.000) of
Title 1), and shall be open to public inspection.
(2) A development proponent that fails to provide the monthly report
shall be subject to a civil penalty for each month for which the report has
not been provided, in the amount of 10 percent of the dollar value of
construction work performed by that contractor on the development in the
90
— 62 — Ch. 647
Packet Page. 181
month in question, up to a maximum of ten thousand dollars ($10,000). Any
contractor or subcontractor that fails to comply with subdivision (b) or (c)
shall be subject to a civil penalty of two hundred dollars ($200) per day for
each worker employed in contravention of subdivision (b) or (c).
(3) Penalties may be assessed by the Labor Commissioner within 18
months of completion of the development using the procedures for issuance
of civil wage and penalty assessments specified in Section 1741 of the Labor
Code, and may be reviewed pursuant to Section 1742 of the Labor Code.
Penalties shall be deposited in the State Public Works Enforcement Fund
established pursuant to Section 1771.3 of the Labor Code.
(e) Each construction contractor shall maintain and verify payroll records
pursuant to Section 1776 of the Labor Code. Each construction contractor
shall submit payroll records directly to the Labor Commissioner at least
monthly in a format prescribed by the Labor Commissioner in accordance
with subparagraph (A) of paragraph (3) of subdivision (a) of Section 1771.4
of the Labor Code. The records shall include a statement of fringe benefits.
Upon request by a joint labor-management cooperation committee
established pursuant to the Federal Labor Management Cooperation Act of
1978 (29 U.S.C. Sec. 175a), the records shall be provided pursuant to
subdivision (e) of Section 1776 of the Labor Code.
(f) All construction contractors shall report any change in apprenticeship
program participation or health care expenditures to the local government
within 10 business days, and shall reflect those changes on the monthly
report. The reports shall be considered public records pursuant to the
California Public Records Act (Division 10 (commencing with Section
7920.000) of Title 1) and shall be open to public inspection.
(g) A joint labor-management cooperation committee established pursuant
to the Federal Labor Management Cooperation Act of 1978 (29 U.S.C. Sec.
175a) shall have standing to sue a construction contractor for failure to make
health care expenditures pursuant to subdivision (c) in accordance with
Section 218.7 or 218.8 of the Labor Code.
Article 5. Severability
65912.140. The provisions of subdivision (c) of Section 65912.131
concerning health care expenditure are distinct and severable from the
remaining provisions of this chapter. However, Article 4 (commencing with
Section 65912.130) is a material and integral part of this chapter and is not
severable. If any provision of Article 4 (commencing with Section
65912.130) or its application, exclusive of those included in subdivision (c)
of Section 65912.131, is held invalid, this entire chapter shall be null and
void.

CalCHA’s Essential Housing Program
Providing sustainable housing opportunities for California’s essential middle-income workforce
California’s essential workforce (nurses, teachers, first responders and civil servants, among others) generally earns
in excess of traditional affordable housing income limits yet not enough to sustainably reside within the communities
they serve. The resulting dislocation and “drive until you qualify” commuting patterns result in traffic, congestion,
pollution, social isolation, academic underperformance and negative health outcomes.
The California Community Housing Agency (CalCHA) was formed in 2019 to squarely address this growing crisis. As
the State’s first public agency focused exclusively on the production, preservation and protection of middle-income
housing, our Essential Housing model has already created >4,000 affordable rent-restricted rental units throughout
the State and has spurred the creation of additional State agencies hoping to leverage similar models to further
California’s middle-income housing needs.
Program Mechanics
•Cities, counties and housing authorities become members of CalCHA
•CalCHA seeks Essential Housing opportunities within member municipalities
•CalCHA issues governmental revenue bonds and uses proceeds to construct or acquire properties
•CalCHA assets are rent restricted to low-income and moderate-income households
•CalCHA assets become exempt from property taxation
•CalCHA grants all financial upside to the underlying member jurisdiction at its direction
Public Benefit Creation
In addition to being granted the financial upside of its assets, CalCHA members benefit from the immediate production of
essential middle-income housing. Other programs benefits include:
•Non-displacement of existing tenants
•Up to 4% cap on annual rent increases
•No investment, cost or liability created for member jurisdictions
•No use of tax credits, private activity bonds or other scarce affordable housing subsidies/resources
Municipality Participation
Participation in CalCHA’s Essential Housing Program begins with the adoption of a single resolution granting:
•CalCHA Membership (no cost, no liability)
•Authorizing CalCHA to issue bonds locally (no cost, no liability)
•Granting of financial upside (project-specific Public Benefit Agreements)
California Community Housing Agency
CalCHA is a California joint powers authority and political subdivision of the State, specifically founded to provide, preserve
and protect middle-income affordable housing projects throughout California. CalCHA’s program administrators maintain
more than 30 years of related experience in bond issuance for affordable housing.

Essential Housing Program
CORE TENETS
•Rental rates that align with the area’s
median income instead of leading rates in
the market.
•Bi-monthly rent payment schedules
through our Flex partnership.
•Partnerships focused on supporting local
business and giving back to the community.
Live local without compromise.
We believe in a world where you can thrive within
the community you choose to call home.
That’s why we launched the Essential Housing Program:
comprehensive rental housing platform that aligns rental
rates with an area’s average median income instead of its
leading market rates. Through this program, we’re able
to offer middle-income earners rental rates that better
align with their lifestyle.
THE GOAL is to create more opportunities to live locally, and in turn,
create healthier, more vibrant, and more sustainable communities.
What makes
an Essential
Housing
community?
Rental Rates That Make Sense
More disposable income in your pocket means more chances for you to say “yes”
to the things that matter most. By using the average median income of surrounding
neighborhoods to define our rental rates, we better align cost-of-living with lifestyle.
More Local Living Options
Rising housing costs are pricing Californians out of living near where they work.
The ripple effects of long commutes impact everything from increased carbon
emissions to deteriorating health, racial inequality, and homelessness. We strive to
offer local living options at a price that helps our residents, and our earth, thrive.
Our Partnerships
We’re partnering with companies that concentrate on the good stuff, like creating a
healthier environment, supporting local and giving back to the community.
Innovation & Improvements
We’re dedicated to infusing innovation and investment into our community to ensure
that our residents take pride in where they live, and our team takes pride in where
they work.

CONSENT CALENDAR
July 2, 2025
Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
Bill Gallardo, Interim City Manager;
Lynn Merrill, Director of Public Works
Public Works
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino,
California:
1. Authorize the City Manager to execute a Vendor Services Agreement with
DM & G Construction and Engineering Services Inc. for the installation of
guardrails; and
2. Authorize the Director of Finance and Management Services to issue a
purchase order not to exceed the amount of $193,560 for FY 25/26; and
3. Authorize the Director of Finance and Management Services to issue a
purchase order not to exceed the amount of $100,000 for FY 26/27 and
$100,000 for FY 27/28.
The proposed agreement with DM & G Construction and Engineering Services will
allow the City to install and maintain guardrails that protect motorists, pedestrians,
and infrastructure. Guardrails serve as critical roadside safety features, particularly
in areas such as curves, slopes, and near fixed objects. This agreement will be
funded by Gas Tax and Traffic Safety funds. It supports the City’s roadway safety
goals by proactively addressing locations where barriers are necessary to reduce
crash severity.
The Public Works Department, through its Traffic Engineering section, is
responsible for evaluating and addressing roadway safety needs throughout the
Packet Page. 227

City. Based on traffic analysis, collision data, and field inspections, certain roadway
segments have been identified as needing guardrail installations to protect both the
traveling public and roadside infrastructure.
Guardrails are designed to prevent vehicles from leaving the roadway and to shield
hazards such as embankments, utility poles, culverts, roadside land uses or fixed
objects. The scope of this agreement includes:
New guardrail installation at identified locations, and minor associated
improvements, including terminal end treatments and posts.
This proactive infrastructure enhancement effort is based on a combination of
engineering analysis and community safety priorities.
Public Works staff uses the following criteria to assess and prioritize guardrail
installation:
Field inspections conducted by engineering staff
Roadway risk assessments
Citizen and stakeholder feedback received through CRM
Evaluation of roadway geometry and proximity to hazards
Discussion
The Vendor Service Agreement with DM & G Construction and Engineering Services
Inc. outlines the installation of guardrails throughout the City. The agreement is in the
amount of $193,560 for the next fiscal year of 2025/2026. The term of the proposed
agreement shall be from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2028.
The scope of work includes materials, equipment, and traffic control necessary to
install a complete metal beam guardrail system in accordance with Caltrans Standard
Plan A77 (latest edition). The project is expected to be completed within this fiscal year
timeframe, with work anticipated to begin immediately upon contract execution. This
agreement ensures timely delivery of critical safety improvements as identified by the
Public Works Department.
On February 27, 2025, the Traffic Engineering section of Public Works, with the
Purchasing Department, initiated a formal process to solicit proposals for the guardrail
installation. Request for Qualifications RFA No. F-25-4034 with a due date of March
27, 2025. The solicitation resulted in three proposals that were evaluated based on
responsiveness and cost. DM & G Construction and Engineering Services submitted
a competitive proposal and demonstrated qualification in performing guardrail work for
public agencies.
This selection was based on the lowest quote received as shown below:
Vendor City Cost

DM&G Construction and
Engineering Services Chino , CA $64,825
Ferreria Construction Co Rancho
Cucamonga, CA $249,000
Global Builders Inc Laguna , CA $170,000
Staff recommends awarding the agreement to DM & G based on their experience,
proposed pricing, and recent performance on similar contracts. The award is based on
the unit cost of $129.65 per linear foot, which is the most competitive of the three
vendors and represents the best pricing the City has received.
The term of the proposed agreement shall be from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2028.
2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
This project is consistent with Key Strategic Target and Goal No. 3c: Improved Quality
of Life - Evaluate and enhance the quality of public safety services. Guardrail
installation is an effective way of preventing vehicles from running off the roadway.
Fiscal Impact
There is no General Fund impact associated with this item. Sufficient funds exist in
the FY 2025/26 adopted budget. Funding for future years will be accounted for in
the future budget cycles, as this will be a contractual obligation.
Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino,
California:
1. Authorize the City Manager to execute a Vendor Services Agreement with
DM & G Construction and Engineering Services Inc. for the installations of

Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
Bill Gallardo, Interim City Manager;
Lynn Merrill, Director of Public Works
Public Works
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino
California adopt Resolution 2025-321 authorizing the City Manager to execute the
Cooperative Agreement with the City of Colton for traffic signal design and construction
for Hunts Lane and Harwick Drive.
The Public Works Department has identified the intersection of Hunts Lane and
Harwick Drive as a critical location for the installation of new traffic signals to improve
roadway safety, enhance traffic circulation, and support growing vehicle and pedestrian
activity. Increased traffic volumes resulting from recent development have led to
significant congestion and delays, particularly during peak travel times. This project is
a collaborative effort with the City of Colton, with both cities agreeing to share the costs
equally, with an estimated total project cost of $770,000. The City of San Bernardino
will manage and lead the project, with the City of Colton reimbursing San Bernardino
approximately $385,000 for its 50% share upon completion.
The proposed traffic signal at the intersection of Hunt Lane and Harwick Drive is a
critical safety and traffic management improvement. The intersection, which serves as
a key access point for both the residential community and Colony Park attendees, has
experienced increased traffic volumes due to recent developments in the surrounding
region. To address congestion and enhance safety, a cooperative agreement will be
Packet Page. 248

formed between the City of San Bernardino and the City of Colton to jointly fund,
design, and construct the traffic signal.
Cost Sharing: The agreement outlines the financial responsibilities of each party
involved in the project.
Design and Engineering: Under the agreement, a traffic signal design is
developed according to city standards and state regulations, ensuring it meets
safety and operational requirements.
Construction Timeline: The construction schedule is established, prioritizing
minimal disruption to local traffic and businesses. Coordination with adjacent
construction projects is also a factor to ensure smooth execution.
Maintenance: Once the traffic signal is completed, the agreement may define
long-term responsibilities for signal maintenance, typically falling under the
jurisdiction of the City's Public Works Department.
This signal installation is intended to address both existing and anticipated traffic
demands, improve vehicular and pedestrian safety, and ensure smooth access to
nearby businesses and parks. The signal at Hunts Lane and Hardwick aligns with
broader infrastructure goals, such as reducing congestion and supporting economic
growth in the area.
On June 4, 2025, the Mayor and City Council adopted Resolution No. 2025-298, which
approved the City of San Bernardino’s Fiscal Year 2025/26 Operating Budget and the
Capital Improvement Plan for Fiscal Years 2025/26 through 2029/30. This action
established the financial framework and funding priorities for the City’s operations and
infrastructure projects for the upcoming fiscal year and beyond.
Discussion
The City of San Bernardino recently received a request from the City Council, City of
Colton staff through their City Council office and City of San Bernardino residents to
conduct a traffic study at the intersection of Hunts Lane and Harwick Drive. This
request comes in response to concerns raised by residents and frequent Colony Park
visitors about traffic congestion and potential safety issues in the area. The study
assessed current traffic patterns, and pedestrian activity to identify the needed
improvements.
In evaluating the need for a new traffic signal at an intersection, the City uses the
California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA MUTCD) signal warrants as
the standard guideline. CAMUTCD provides specific traffic signal warrants, which are
criteria used to determine if a traffic signal is justified based on factors such as traffic
volume, pedestrian activity, and accident history. These warrants cover multiple
scenarios, including minimum vehicle volumes, pedestrian volume, school crossing
requirements, and coordinated signal systems. By applying CAMUTCD signal
warrants, the City ensures that any proposed traffic signal installation meets
standardized safety and operational needs, balancing traffic flow with the necessity to
enhance safety for all roadway users.
Packet Page. 249

Through comprehensive analysis of the signal warrants, it was determined that the
location satisfies Four Hour Vehicular Volume warrant No.2 Figure 4C-101(CA)
(Attachment 3), including considerations of vehicular and pedestrian traffic volume, as
well as safety and operational efficiency criteria. This ensures that the installation will
enhance traffic flow, reduce potential collision points, and provide safer access to
adjacent properties.
The total project cost of $770,000 is based on preliminary estimates prepared by the
City Engineer. These estimates were developed using historical data from similar traffic
signal projects previously completed by the City and adjusted to account for current
market conditions. Additional funding was included as a contingency to address
potential cost fluctuations, unforeseen conditions, and project management needs.
The cities of San Bernardino and Colton are collaborating on the installation of a new
traffic signal at the intersection of Hunts Lane and Harwick Drive, with all project costs
to be shared equally on a 50/50 basis. The City of San Bernardino will act as the lead
agency and manage the project, with the City of Colton reimbursing San Bernardino
approximately $385,000 for its share upon project completion. The estimated design
cost is $40,000, with each city contributing $20,000. Construction is estimated at
$600,000, with each city responsible for $300,000. An additional $100,000 is allocated
for contingencies, and $30,000 is budgeted for construction management and staff
time—each city contributing $50,000 and $15,000, respectively. This cost-sharing
structure reflects a balanced financial partnership and supports efficient resource use
to improve traffic operations and public safety at this shared regional intersection.
Although the City of San Bernardino will serve as the lead agency for this project, the
City is still required to follow a formal competitive procurement process. While the
cooperative agreement itself is exempt from formal bidding under San Bernardino
Municipal Code (SBMC) § 3.04.010(D)(1) — which allows for intergovernmental
agreements approved by the City Council — the construction phase of the project will
still be subject to competitive procurement. Accordingly, the City will conduct a formal
bidding process for construction in compliance with City purchasing policies and all
applicable public contracting laws to ensure transparency, fairness, and fiscal
responsibility.

Reconstruction (“Class 2”). The Class 2 exemptions allow for the replacement or
reconstruction of existing structures or facilities where the new structure will be
located on the same site as the structure replaced and will have substantially the
same purpose and capacity as the structure replaced. Here, the Project involves
minor improvements and replacement of existing traffic signs with traffic signals
located on the same site.
The City has also considered whether the proposed Project is subject to any
exception to the Class 2 exemption, as set forth in State CEQA Guidelines section
15300.2. No exception applies for the following reasons:
a) The location exception only applies to Class 3, 4, 5, 6, and 11
exemptions, none of which are being utilized here.
b) The proposed Project would not result in any significant
cumulative impacts on the environment. The cumulative impacts
exception does not apply because the Project has no
incrementally significant impacts on the environment.
c) A categorical exemption may be subject to an exception where
there is a reasonable possibility that the activity will have a
significant effect on the environment due to unusual
circumstances. The proposed Project does not involve any
unusual circumstances and has no potential to result in a
significant impact on the environment.
d) Under the “scenic highways” exception, a categorical exemption
may be subject to an exception where the project may result in
damage to scenic resources within a highway officially
designated as a state scenic highway. The exception does not
apply here as the Project would not damage any scenic
resources within a state scenic highway.
e) The Project is not located on a site which is included on any list
compiled pursuant to Section 65962.5 of the Government Code.
f) The Project site does not contain a historical resource.
2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
This project is consistent with Goal No. 1(e): Improved Operational & Financial
Capacity by minimizing risk and litigation exposure. This project will enhance safety for
all users of the roadway.

There is no General Fund impact associated with this action. The total estimated
project cost is $770,000, with the City of San Bernardino responsible for 50%
($385,000). Funding of $40,000 is included in the FY 2025/26 Adopted CIP Budget
within the Traffic Safety Fund for design costs. The remaining $730,000 for
construction will be included in the proposed FY 2026/27 budget, subject to City
Council appropriation. As the lead agency, the City will manage the competitive
procurement and contract award for construction. The City of Colton will reimburse
San Bernardino for 50% of the total actual project cost upon completion or per mutually
agreed billing milestones.
Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino
California adopt Resolution 2025-321 authorizing the City Manager to execute
Cooperative Agreement with the City of Colton for traffic signal design and construction
for Hunts Lane and Harwick Drive.

responsible for performing any and all work (including, but not limited to, maintenance) for the
PROJECT limits that are in SAN BERNARDINO’s incorporated area.
2. Neither COLTON nor any officer or employee of COLTON shall be responsible for any damage or
liability occurring by reason of any acts or omissions on the part of SAN BERNARDINO under or in
connection with any work, authority or jurisdiction delegated to or determined to be the responsibility
of SAN BERNARDINO under this Agreement. It is also understood and agreed that, pursuant to
Government Code, Section 895.4, SAN BERNARDINO shall fully indemnify, defend and hold
COLTON harmless from any liability imposed for injury (as defined by Government Code section

warrant that through their respective programs of self-insurance they have adequate coverage or
resources to protect against liabilities arising out of COLTON and SAN BERNARDINO’s performance
of the terms, conditions or obligations of this Agreement.
5. The Parties acknowledge that actual PROJECT costs may ultimately exceed current estimates of
PROJECT costs. Any additional PROJECT costs resulting from increased bid prices, increased
engineering costs, change orders, or arising from unforeseen site conditions, including utility
relocation (but not from requested additional work by COLTON or SAN BERNARDINO, which is
addressed in paragraph 8 below) over the estimated total of the PROJECT’s cost of $770,000 (which
is the sum of $385,000 from COLTON and $385,000 from SAN BERNARDINO) shall be borne by
each PARTY based upon where the work is required (i.e. whether the work is required in COLTON’s
or SAN BERNARDINO’s jurisdiction) up to the amounts set forth in Section I paragraph 11 and
Section II paragraph 4, respectively.
6. If either COLTON or SAN BERNARDINO requests additional work that is beyond the scope of the

In the case that a utility relocation is determined to be a PROJECT cost based on that utility having
Packet Page. 260
COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT
prior rights, the relocation of the utility will be included as a PROJECT cost for which COLTON
and SAN BERNARDINO will be responsible for funding the work located within their respective
boundaries.
8. As design progresses, if it is found by SAN BERNARDINO’s Director of Public Works, or the
Director’s designee, that a cost overrun of 10% or more of the estimated total of the PROJECT costs
will occur, SAN BERNARDINO shall provide COLTON notice of this fact and SAN BERNARDINO
and COLTON shall endeavor to agree upon an alternative course of action, including amending the
cost estimates. If, after thirty (30) days of SAN BERNARDINO’s notice, an alternative course of
action is not mutually agreed upon in writing between COLTON and SAN BERNARDINO, this
Agreement shall be deemed to be terminated by mutual consent.
9. SAN BERNARDINO shall notify COLTON of the bids received and the amounts thereof. In the event
that either PARTY intends to cancel this Agreement based upon the bids or amount thereof, said
PARTY shall notify the other PARTY at a reasonable time prior to the awarding of a contract to
construct the PROJECT to avoid any detrimental reliance by either PARTY, contractor or potential
contractor.
10. If after opening bids for the PROJECT, it is found that the responsive and responsible low bid amount
is 110% of or less than the construction cost shown in Exhibit B, SAN BERNARDINO may award the
contract.
11. If, upon opening of bids, it is found that the responsive and responsible low bid amount is greater
than 110% of the construction cost shown in Exhibit B or an Amended Exhibit B pursuant to
paragraph 10 of the Agreement, SAN BERNARDINO shall not award the contract unless: 1) SAN
BERNARDINO receives written permission from COLTON’s City Engineer or designee, to proceed
with the award; and 2) COLTON’s City Council approves the award of the construction contract. If
the above described conditions are not met, COLTON and SAN BERNARDINO shall endeavor to
agree upon an alternative course of action, including re-bidding of the PROJECT. If, after thirty (30)
days of the bid opening, an alternative course of action is not mutually agreed upon in writing, this
Agreement shall be deemed to be terminated by mutual consent.
12. In the event that change orders are required during the course of the PROJECT, said change orders
must be in form and substance as set forth in “Exhibit B”, which is attached hereto and incorporated
herein by this reference, and approved by both COLTON and SAN BERNARDINO. Contract Change
Order forms will be delivered by email and must be returned within five (5) business days. COLTON
shall not unreasonably withhold approval of change orders. If a COLTON disapproved or modified
change order is later found to cause an additional cost to the PROJECT, then COLTON shall be
responsible for any additional costs, awards, judgments or settlements associated with the
disapproved or modified change order.
13. This Agreement may be cancelled upon thirty (30) days advance written notice of either PARTY,
provided however, that neither PARTY may cancel this Agreement after SAN BERNARDINO awards
a contract to construct the PROJECT. In the event of cancellation as provided herein, including
termination pursuant to paragraphs 10, 11 and 13 above, all PROJECT expenses occurred prior to
the effective date of cancellation/termination shall be paid by the Parties in the same proportion to
their contribution for the PROJECT. The PARTIES recognize and agree that the provisions
governing utility relocation and construction are dependent upon the PARTIES first satisfying CEQA.
As provided in this paragraph, the Agreement may be cancelled with or without cause, before, during
and after CEQA review/approval.

COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT
14. Except as provided in paragraph 15, and except for the PARTIES’ operation, maintenance and
indemnification obligations contained herein which shall survive termination, this Agreement shall
terminate upon completion of the PROJECT and payment of final billing by COLTON for its share of
the PROJECT costs or refund by SAN BERNARDINO pursuant to Section I paragraph 12.

CONSENT CALENDAR
July 2, 2025
Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
Bill Gallardo, Interim City Manager;
Lynn Merrill, Director of Public Works
Public Works
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino,
California adopt Resolution No. 2025-322:
1. Approving the Acceptance of the Highway Safety Improvement Program
(HSIP) Cycle 12 Grant in the amount of $3,152,700; and
2. Authorizing the City Manager or designee to approve grant matching funds
in the amount of $100,300 from the Traffic Safety Fund; and
3. Designating the City Manager, or designee, as a responsible agency official
authorized to sign project agreements and certifications for the preparation
of the HSIP Cycle 12 Project; and
4. Authorizing the Director of Finance and Management Services to amend the
FY 2025/26 CIP budget with an additional $100,300 from the Traffic Safety
Fund to bring the total project budget to $3,503,000; and
5. Authorizing the Director of Finance and Management Services to amend the
FY 2025/26 CIP budget with an additional $3,503,000 in HSIP Cycle 12 grant
funding.
The Public Works Department recommends that City Council approve the acceptance
of Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) grant funds for the design and
construction of the E Street Median Improvement Project. The project will enhance
Packet Page. 271
2
6
7
1
traffic and pedestrian safety along E Street through the installation of raised medians,
upgraded signage, and other roadway safety features consistent with the goals of the
HSIP. The proposed improvements are aimed at enhancing access control, particularly
in high-incident areas. The City has been awarded HSIP funds in the amount of
$3,152,700 to support both the design and construction phases. These funds will cover
90% of the total estimated project cost, with the remaining funds to be provided through
the Traffic Safety Fund.
Background
The Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) is a core Federal-aid program
with the purpose of achieving a significant reduction in traffic fatalities and serious
injuries on all public roads, including non-State-owned roads and roads on tribal
land. The HSIP requires a data-driven, strategic approach to improving highway
safety on all public roads with a focus on performance.
The HSIP is legislated under Section 148 of Title 23, United States Code (23 U.S.C.
148) and regulated under Part 924 of Title 23, Code of Federal Regulations (23 CFR
Part 924). The HSIP consists of three main components, the Strategic Highway Safety
Plan (SHSP), State HSIP or program of highway safety improvement projects and the
Railway-Highway Crossing Program (RHCP), In addition, some states also have a
High Risk Rural Roads (HRRR) program if they had increasing fatality rate on rural
roads.
The E- Street corridor is one of the major thoroughfares in San Bernardino, it was
selected as a route for the sbX BRT system due to its high traffic volume and the need
for efficient public transportation options. Bus lanes, which are lanes designated
exclusively for buses, are a key component of BRT systems like sbX. These lanes
help buses bypass traffic congestion, allowing them to move more quickly and adhere
to schedules more reliably.
The sbX Line operates in a center-running dedicated transit lane along “E” Street
between 10th Street and Hospitality Lane, and along Hospitality Lane between “E”
Street and Tippecanoe Avenue. The City owns and maintains the street right-of-way,
including dedicated bus lanes, pursuant to the Master Cooperative Agreement
between Omnitrans and the City of San Bernardino for the “E” Street Corridor sbX Bus
Rapid Transit Project, executed September 21, 2009.The City and Omnitrans have
determined that a safety concern exists where vehicles make left turns out of business
driveways across the dedicated bus lane. The temporary delineators installed by
Omnitrans to stop vehicles from crossing the dedicated bus lane have not been
effective because they are easily removed/destroyed and need frequent replacement.
Since the opening of the sbX line in 2014, the City has found the maintenance and
replacement of the missing and destroyed delineators to be cost prohibitive. In
2019, the City constructed a median on Hospitality Lane between “E Street and
Waterman Avenue in which collisions between buses and vehicles reduced
significantly.

Discussion
The City and Omnitrans have decided to collaborate on addressing the escalating
collisions involving buses and vehicles along the sbX line on “E” Street, spanning
from Fairway Drive to 10th St. Under this agreement, they will jointly undertake the
design, pursue environmental clearance (CEQA or NEPA in case of federal
funding), and oversee construction for the project aimed at achieving the final
development of Plans, Specifications, and Estimates (PS&E).
During the initial submission of the HSIP Cycle 12 application, the Plans,
Specifications, and Estimates (PS&E) phase was inadvertently omitted from the project
scope and funding request. To address this oversight, staff submitted a revised request
to include the PS&E phase at a cost of $229,500. Caltrans is currently in the process
of updating the award letter to reflect the revised grant funding amount awarded to the
City. This phase is essential to the successful development and delivery of the project.
The City intends to proceed in full compliance with all applicable federal and state
requirements.
This staff report reflects that the revised estimated total cost for the Project is
$3,503,000, which includes design, environmental clearance, preparing of Plans
and Specification, construction management service, and construction. The cost of
the local match in the amount of $350,300 will be split equally, 50/50 with Omnitrans
which will result in $175,150 for Omnitrans contribution to the project with the
remaining balance covered by the HSIP grant.
It is important to note that Omnitrans will reimburse the City of San Bernardino for
its share of the local match, $175,150, once the applicable project expenditures
have been incurred. This reimbursement pertains solely to Omnitrans’ 50% share
of the required local match and does not apply to any other project costs outside of
the $350,300 match obligation.
On June 4, 2025, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2025-298, approving the
City of San Bernardino’s Fiscal Year 2025/26 Operating Budget and the Fiscal
Years 2025/26–2029/30 Capital Improvement Plan. As part of this action, the
Council approved CIP Project SS25-011 for the E Street Median Improvements and
established a budget of $250,000 in the Traffic Safety Fund to support the project.
2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
This Project consists of Goal No. 4: Improve Quality of Life – Evaluate and enhance
the quality of public safety services. The median on “E” Street along the proposed
segment will enhance roadway safety for both the buses and the vehicles.
Fiscal Impact

There will be no fiscal impact to the General Fund associated with this item. There
is grant match funding in the amount of $350,300. HSIP Federal funding in the
amount of $3,152,700 has been approved for the “E” Street median and is available
for this project.
Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino,
California adopt Resolution No. 2025-322:
1. Approving the Acceptance of the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP)
Cycle 12 Grant in the amount of $3,152,700; and
2. Authorizing the City Manager or designee to approve grant matching funds in
the amount of $100,300 from the Traffic Safety Fund; and
3. Designating the City Manager, or designee, as a responsible agency official
authorized to sign project agreements and certifications for the preparation of
the HSIP Cycle 12 Project; and
4. Authorizing the Director of Finance and Management Services to amend the FY
2025/26 CIP budget with an additional $100,300 from the Traffic Safety Fund to
bring the total budget to $3,503,000; and
5. Authorizing the Director of Finance and Management Services to amend the FY
2025/26 CIP budget with an additional $3,503,000 in HSIP Cycle 12 grant
funding.

DISCUSSION
July 2, 2025
Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
Bill Gallardo, Interim City Manager;
Andrea Russell, Director of Human Resources
Human Resources
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino,
California:
1. Approve the annual renewal of the City’s excess general liability insurance,
excess workers’ compensation insurance, crime insurance and cyber
insurance; and
2. Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute all related documentation.
The City purchases insurance policies through Public Risk Innovation, Solutions, and
Management (PRISM), a member-directed risk sharing pool of public agencies
committed to providing risk coverage programs and risk management services, which
drive member stability, efficiency, and best practices. Staff is recommending renewing
insurance coverage for the specific policies noted below.
• Excess Workers’ Compensation Program
• General Liability 2 Program (GL2)
• Master Crime Program
• Cyber Liability Program
On June 19, 2019, the Mayor and City Council adopted a resolution authorizing the
City Manager to purchase stand-alone commercial coverage for excess liability
insurance through the City’s then liability broker Aon; and increased the City‘s self-
Packet Page. 282

insured retention (SIR) from $1 million to $5 million in order to obtain a manageable
premium amount. Before the start of FY 20/21 began, Allied, the City’s then excess
liability insurance carrier, made the determination not to renew coverage with the City.
Instead, what Allied offered was a 30-day extension of the existing policy to allow the
City an opportunity to secure other coverage. The City’s three additional excess
carriers followed Allied’s lead and also agreed to provide the City a 30-day extension
of the existing policies through July 31, 2020. At the time, The City purchased
insurance policies through Aon who served as the City’s broker of record for six years.
Aon was responsible for marketing and negotiating quotes with numerous insurance
carriers in an effort to secure the best coverage at the best price.
Aon solicited quotes from 28 carriers to obtain excess liability insurance coverage for
the City. The insurance market faced obstacles most importantly capacity restrictions,
meaning there were fewer firms writing policies for public agencies. Those firms that
were writing policies, did so for less coverage. Perceived jury verdicts and the
uncertainty of COVID-19 significantly influenced the insurance market at the time.
All the excess general liability insurance carriers Aon approached declined to provide
a quote to the City. Reasons noted included the City’s history of losses, financial
stability, and the climate of California tort claims perceived jury verdicts. In addition to
market conditions, loss data was also an influential factor in the City’s ability to secure
coverage in FY 20/21. The City‘s loss run report was challenged, as settlements that
were part of the bankruptcy (BK) plan of adjustment reflected a lower dollar value than
what they would have settled outside of the bankruptcy proceedings. This made it
difficult for insurance carriers to accurately measure risk exposure, and position
themselves to extend an offer of coverage and establish insurance premiums. As a
result, Aon was unable to secure a viable option for the City. To augment Aon’s efforts
with quote solicitation and to explore coverage options for the City, staff approached
other markets and carriers to secure coverage.
Finally, the City partnered with Alliant Insurance Services, Inc. (Alliant) to obtain
coverage through their pooled insurance carrier PRISM, formerly CSAC-EIA. Alliant is
one of the nation’s leading distributors of diversified insurance products and services.
Operating through a national network of offices, Alliant offers a comprehensive portfolio
of services. The knowledge Alliant has gained in its more than eight decades of working
with many of the top insurance companies in the world allows them to provide its clients
guidance and high-quality performance.
PRISM expressed concern over the reliability of our loss data for the time period of
2012-2017, indicating that larger claims would have settled for a much higher amount,
if not for the bankruptcy proceedings and the plan of adjustment. In short, PRISM
requested an audit of 27 claims to analyze the loss data to determine the risk exposure
they would assume by extending excess general liability coverage to the City. This
would allow them to quote a premium based on the audited data. Below is a summary
of the audit findings. After reviewing the audited files, PRISM was able to offer a
premium quote.

Discussion
Insurance Market Update
The general liability market for 2025 will continue to be extremely challenging. There
is reduced carrier capacity, heightened underwriter scrutiny, a push for aggregated
limits and higher attachment points, and increased rates. There are many factors
contributing to these hard market conditions, but it essentially comes to the increase
in the number and size of extremely large losses over the last decade.
Starting around 2013-2014, large liability claims activity increased significantly.
Extremely large “nuclear” verdicts and the resulting increased settlement values have
had devastating impacts on the economics of liability claims. Claims that were
previously resolved in the $5M-$10M range rose to $20M-$30M and higher for public
entities and their insurers. The rising claims costs caused carriers to increase their
reserves for prior year claims to keep up with the adverse development.
Collectively, the members of PRISM’s General Liability Programs have experienced
their fair share of large losses, contributing to the challenging conditions described
above. In fact, over the last 10 years, PRISM members have experienced an average
of 126 claims per year that exceeded their current Self-Insured Retention (SIR). These
claims collectively exceeded the collective SIRs by more than $188M, per year.
PRISM and Alliant have developed long-term relationships with excess insurance and
reinsurance underwriters. They work throughout the year to not only maintain their
participation in the Program in a very difficult claims environment, but also to analyze
structural changes and other strategies to make the overall cost as efficient as possible.

While PRISM’s premiums will increase for 2025/26, the premiums are still less costly
than an entity would likely be faced with outside of PRISM. A testament to the
continued competitiveness of the Program. In addition to premium savings, members
enjoy broader coverage and avoid coverage restrictions and limitations that are often
quoted outside of PRISM.
Excess Workers’ Compensation Program
The City purchases excess workers' compensation insurance to cover employees if
they are injured on the job. Coverage includes reimbursement for payments above the
City’s self-insured retention (SIR). This includes compensation for temporary disability
benefits at statutory rates, medical benefits, and some allocated expenses.
The City’s current excess workers’ compensation coverage cost is $652,569 and has
a $1 million self-insured retention (SIR) with a limit remaining at statutory coverage.
Statutory coverage provides payment for claims up to the amount required by law,
without limits. The FY 2025/26 premium is increasing by 28% ($910,293).
Excess General Liability Program
The City purchases excess general liability insurance to protect against catastrophic
incidents such as: bodily injury, property damage, personal injury, public officials’
errors and omissions liability, automobile liability and employment practices liability.
The City’s current excess general liability insurance coverage cost is $2,049,093 and
has a $5 million self-insured retention (“SIR”) with a limit of $25 million. The FY 2025/26
premium is increasing by approximately 14% ($2,392,094) while Program premium
projections assume increases of up to 30%.
Master Crime Program
The City purchases master crime insurance to protect against illegal acts committed
by employees while on the job including theft, forgery, inside premises (theft of money
and securities/robbery), computer fraud, money orders and counterfeit paper currency,
and outside premises.
The City’s current master crime coverage cost is $13,709 and has a $2,500 self-
insured retention (“SIR”) with a limit of $15 million. The FY 2025/26 premium is
decreasing by 4% ($13,190) while Program premium projections assume increases of
up to 35%.
Cyber Liability Program
The City purchases cyber liability insurance for reimbursement coverage in response
to information security and privacy liability, website media content liability, cyber
extortion and first party data protection.
The City’s current policy cost is $20,995 and has a $100,000 SIR with a limit of $12
million. The FY 2025/26 premium is increasing by 3% ($21,512) while Program
premium projections assume increases of up to 85%.
