The following is a suaaacion of the conditions and efficiency 01 our current

Gam of the a,c:e critical concerns eerrounding tbo inadequate facilities of
both City 0411 'Ad the Sheriff's substation to that departmental offices e.o
segregated from each otbn. Tor several years, the City bas been criticized
by the public and by our business clientj becsuse va lack a esutrelized of-
fice building in which to conduct business. Ius tend of vesitin$ one

Perhaps the most crucial concern saluted to segregated office, is that the
Sheriff's auostation in located nearly two miles from the C' v Ball. Resi-
dents often are frustrated to * &sit the City 9411 on a public safety matter
and find the Sheriff's Department elanwhare.
Space Constraints
At presser, there is 18,000 square feet of office space for 100 CGU employ-
ees, with a ratio of office grata to employees far balm occep-el_e space
standards. As the ratio of office space to employees continues to decline.
employees are and will be sharing smaller work *Pecos. Additionellrs the
increased office equipment used by new employees has created a greater epee,
deficiency, which has led to even more inconvenience to employees and to thw
visiting public. There is no elnator to accommodate clients is the xvo
story complex housing Comu,mity Services, Beginesring, and Reven•te Assess -
meat. There are no public restroom, and in tha rastroom available to er
plcyees, coat are without hot running water. Space coestrciate am ftrtbar
complicated by the fact that equipment is improperly stored in lioness
areas. This commercial- industrial office apace was neither intnndec nor de-
signed for public service.
The Foothill Faro District bas cnntimucusly pointed out numerous safety
hazards which cannot he corrected in the existing offices. Space is to
critical that employees have been located in eauka -do• office areas located
cant to auto mechanic @hops mad warehouses. Problem with noise and rraffic
a versely affect the work euviroment.
The City also suffers from u lack of special facilities. Many of the rented
city office* are not readily acccesible to the bandieappb• Chile the staff

Division or Conaomic; Sarvices, our goal is to fully comply with State and
Federal mandate "o Formal, complete access to the handicapped. Today, we
cannot provide adequate access to the handinaoped.
The Sheriff's acbacetiun i, a ;so experiencing severe apace constraints. For
example, the only squad room in the substation cannot accommodate all par-
anneal for each daily briefing. Similarly, administrative officers and otb-
er parsomal gnat share constrdieed orifice space. The substation bas
virtually no lobby area for clients, and the reception arse must accommodate
both the dispatcher rnd computer facilitiao. Additionally, the substation
has on19 one interview room because the second interview room ban been
converted to accommodate deputy lockers. Anotber problem with the building
is chat security is poor in the lolding area for prisoners.
Because nearly every parking space is eccuyisd by either City employees or
clients doing bush -ss with the City, no spaces are available fox employees
or clients of other tenants in the co�.elax.

Colleera for Pabw, Safety
"%tlo .;cce .oestraints, civic identity and other concerns 1..10 the
inadequacy of tti• current City facilities are Important, the war ^rirical
concern is for pnbiLc safety. In the past, the Sheriff's s.,bstar oo has
encountered problems securing criminals in the holding facilities. porma-
nest voiding cello are essential, and a securel parking area for patrol
units and employee vebielae is also needed.
Safety is also a concern within the City offices. Because ve have ac:aaded
the normal capacity for office space, there is £nadequmte electrical airing
to operate telephones, computers, and other electrical equ£pmeat. She
excessive number cf circuit breakers or well as hazardous electrical astea-
aioe car!- b=e increased the concern for file safety eve the generrl val-
faro of our employees and clients.
Parlour
Wile the City shares approximately 100 parking vpncen with all other buai-
tesses in the Base Mue Center, the actual parking need for em;leyaec, resi-
dents, and other clients is substantially granter. Because of this factor,
most of the time we are uuable to provide parking for the tremendous number
of customers and clients visiting the city offices. Often employees and
customerg slat double park or block access ways ereetind a hazardous eondi-
rion. Nearly arep p, rking space is occupied by eitbcr City employees or
c_ioute doing hominess with the City, which leaves no space available for
empl,yees or clients of other tenants in the complex. Complaints from bott
customers and neighboring businesses are on every day octurxeocm.
Wile the Sheriff's Substation is entitled to 27 parking spaces for employ-
ees and cliwts, the actual parking requirements exceed 70 spaces during
martial working hours. Sh£i does not include parking for citizens mod
customers, nor duet it include porting spaces for patrol and detective units
parked It ttu atat£on. Owners ea ad;acent basinaoees are ccnateatly eor
plaining oecause the sheriffs are using a disproportionate costar of parking
spaces.
With the present facilities and the anticipated increases in serAces and
public contact, the problem will become more critical in the future.

Employee kroductivity
Employee productivity is adversely affected by the overcrowded Condition[ fit
City gall. Tor trample, employees spend a considerable amount of tire wal
iog from out offica building to anotbe, in order to fulfill the reoviromects
of their jobs. Additionally, eaatinji taom are too few and not frequently
ava,lable, causing delays IL caotiu. with customers. While our employees
take prida If, providlog accellect pabllc services, it is difficult to do so
with limited office opeee which wa.t dasigmed to ae•onmodare mixed -use lucus-
trial buildings rather than public service facilities.
Br 'oyao productivity at the gbarlWa substation is also declining out to
the coudi tionm of the facilities. The Adni•istration Division cuntiaues to
respond to cemvots of chaotic eouditioes and the difficulty of Coecmutrst-
ing on work 4t a +eas wbere may saployeas share offices which are located
too close to beavy traffic areas. Like the em¢iloyaas at City gall, the ,
ployees at tha Sberiff's sobal.atlon find it very Disruptive to work in such
an environment. Productivity would improve with a proper working acviron-
mvnt.
WugAztenance Costa
Another very important condderatioL is the that the cost for leasing and
maintaining these iuidequate facilities is rising astronomically. / indi-
cated by the following figures, not only has the cost for leasing office
space ineraased by nearly 762 vitbie the last two years, but also the coal
Of utilities, building repair, scd maintenance continues to increase as
well. Moreover, these costs do DAL lac!,de expeaditures for faci:ity it
provmmauts made for ear office space which viva necessary as the City offered
acv services.
In the futuru, these costs will coutinu+ to increase at an even greater
rate. The primary concern is that City "Facilitates for the rectal of of-
fice space, utilities, building repair, and maintenance and facility le.

SUBJECT, Corporate Facility
Attached in a memo from Lloyd W,bbs, City Eagineer, regarding the need for e

financial constraints have precluded any iaaediate solution to the problem.
With the rapid expansion of maiutenance services, especially fleet maaagr
meat and park maintenance, ve need to give consideration to the acquisition
and construction of an adequate service facility. A combination of msiate-

CPIT OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA
STAFF REPORT
DATE: November 25, 1985
TO: City Council and City Manager
FROM: Lloyd B. Hubbs, City Englnee
SUBJECT: Acquisition and Construction ct City Corporation Yard
INTRODUCTION•
At a recent meeting with City foui•cil the staff requested authorization to
negotiate the acquisition of land for the purpose of future .instruction of a
City Corporation Yard. As you know the current City Yard is on a 3/4 acre
site at Grove Avenue and Ninth Street. With the recent increases in
maintenance and inspection staffing we have reached the capacity of this
fa.11ity. with the construction of Red Hill and Heritage Park, and the
assumption of maintenance of Church Park, Windrows Park, Creekside Park and
Terra Vista Park our maintenarce staff will nearly double. (See the attached
work program)
This significant addition o7 staffing and eq, p*•nt will tax our current
facility beyond its capabili'ies and at the time increase the need for a
more systematic cost effective approach to a Anent maintenance. We are
currently operating a signif cant construction operation in the backyard of a
single family home. With the proposed park construction it makes this
situation intolleroble bu' also provides the opportunity to significantly
enhance staff productivity through Improved facilities.
P11T IS A CORPORATC YAR31
A City's corporation yard is the base of all those ;iousekeeping operations
required to maintain and operate the City's capital investment in street.,,
flood control facilities, parks, parkways and iin some cases water, sewer and
sanitation.
The yard needs to provide room for the storage of vehicles, t1ulpg_nt and the
supplies required to keep the capital plant operating. It %n •view our yard
and others you will typically see such equipment as st:•ei - ,cep ^rs, backhoes,
dumo trucks, tractor mowers, trenchers aid pick -up trucks. materials commonly
sLored are traffic signs, barricades,irrigation supplies, fertilizers, sweeper
brooms, sandbags, ,and, gravel, asphalt, cement ani miscellaneous plant
materials.

A significant aspect of the City Yard is vehicle matinenance. With the

and servic stations. This practice 's becocming extremely curtly as our
fleet expands. A small city fleet and space constraints have preventad our

A final consideration in City Yard apace requirements. wMen is coamionl,/
overlocked by cities, is provision of employee parking. One of the major
problems that we are currently experiencing at the Grove yard is insufficient
parking for the maintenance and inspect'cn sti. ' orivate vehicles. Each
employee working out of the yard muse ha.d pa x .; apace for their personal
vehicle, during working hours. lath a craw of 2b to 30 space requirements for
staff parking are significant. Inadequate parking is a problem experienced by
the Ctty of Upland which has resulted in parking overflowing onto city streets
and tke accompanying potential security problems.
LAND REQUIREIEM
In developing land requirements for a new city yard we have survsyad severe.
clues of various sizes. As you can see from the attached sueaary,
requirements
ents vary from to 15 acres. Cities at our current population of
50,00ti to 70.000 population with full services including water, sewer and
trash generally require 3 to 7 acres. Those at the lower end all complain of
space constraints. Cities wit'- population similar to our ultimste population
general y fall in the 10 to 15 acre category. Because the City does not deal
with sewer, orate or trash a yard 7 to 10 acres in size should be adequa.e.
Factors to be considered that would Effect the ultimate proparty requirements
are:
- Would the City ever assume water, sewer and trash col.ection7
- Is some 'oint use with Foothill Fire or C.C.W.D dcsirele and
if so to what extent?
In the past there has been some discussion with both the Water District and
the :ire Dist,-ct concerning various forms of joint use. If the Council
authorizes proceeding with acquiring property these discussions should be
finalized and precise site requirements developed.

Probably the overlding consideration to yard placement should be proximity to
City Hall and the police facilities. By far the largest potential economic
impact will com- in the frequent need to fuel and shuttle vehicles between
City Hall and vehicle maintenance facilities. Routine servicing of Sheriff's
vehicles and other City vehicles will tie -up two people for the period of time
It takes to deliver and pick up vehicles from the yard. The further the
facility is from City Hall the more manhours lumt to this type of activity.
At full operation a poorly placed City yard could cost hundreds of hours in
lost productivity.
This prnblem is currently extreme due to the fact that our current vehicle
maintenance and city yard are scattered throughout the west valley. We are
currently loosing hundreds of hours to fueling and maintenance of vehicles and
,lust pla+r not doing ai 74equat2 Sob of vehicle maintenance.
DECENIRALIZATIOM VS. MITIMIZTIOM
It has been suggested that the maintenance function be decentralized and more
than one facility provided. This alternative is not viable with regards to
vehicle maintenance. This fact presents a serious obstacle to
decentralization. With vehicle maintenance centralized any peripheral yard
would be required to shuttle back and forth between the main yard for vehicle
fueling and mafntenance. Ouplicate office and fuel facilities would be
required and centralized supply storage would be made difficult. In terms of
site development two sites would involve duplicate development of the curbs,
gutters, water and sewer, gas, electric and telephone and landscape buffers.
The centralized location would result in many economies of scale which in the
absence of some significant off setting benefit in land prices makes two or
mare sites economically suspect.
If one further considers decentralization you would want the satelite
facilities to be dispersed from the main yard and pushed generally towards the
northerly - residential areas or the city. One might think of a satellite
faclTitiy in Alta Lcma•ard Etiwanda or Victoria. Site selection in either of
+ these locations given the character of a maintenance yard would prove
sensitive and likely controversial.
It would be staffs recommendation that the corporate yard be centralizes -lose
to -1ty Hall.

Re. Acquisition /Construction of Corporation Yard

land values vary from $3.00 to $4.50 per square foot or $130,000 to $195,000'
per acre. The variation in price relates to the level of site development.
In consideration of land values one must consider the costs involved in
servicing and developing the site. Generall; those sites which have complete
street and drainage improvements with all utilities readily available will
garner a higher price. The converse being that the cheaper sites will be much
more costly to develop. In the industrial area one must also consider the
impacts of City assessments for drainage and flout control. The value of
lands in he Industrial Assessment District and The Day Creek Mello -Roos
District have unique economic circumstances which must be considered.
EXISTING CITY YARD
The existing City Yard located at Ninth Street and Grove Avenue ir. Upland is a
3/4 acre site with a residence on the southeast corner. The yard was the old
County Road Yard and was acquired when the City assumed maintenance
responsiibilities in 1980. The purchase price was $127,000. Since we acquired
the site we have rennovated the office building, added a locked tool room,
modernized the gas pumps, added a eiasel fuel tank and material bins. The
house is curently rented to o,ie of our maintenance men who acts as caretaker
and security guard.
The land is currently zoned for a commercial use. We estimate that its value
to be $150,000 to $200,000.
If we are unable to develop a new facility in the near future we will hava to
attempt to octain addtticnal parking n arby or will have to review polices
allowing employees to take vehicles home. We will also be severely restricted
In materials storage which will hamper our parkway beautification efforts.
Finally we may have to look seriously at development of maintenance and
storage facilties in the city parks.
FACILMY DEVELOPMENT AKD FINANCING
Staff has been in contact with DAVE Systems concerning the design, development
and contract for ongoing vehicle maintenance. DAVE Systems is very active in
transit planning and operations, and they currently provide contract vehicle
maintenance for numerous Transit Districts. GAVE Systems has offered to give
US a proposal or the design of a facility and a contract to maintain city
vehicles. If the proposal proves attractive they could design and construct a
maintenance facility and provide a vehicle maintenance operation under
contract. The yard could then be ,cquired through a lease purchase or other
suitable financial agreement. We will exple -e this option further with the
Council when we receive the DAVE System proposal.
