RANCHO CUCA�10NGA POLICE DEPARTMENT

To: Mayor and Members of the City Council
John R. Gillison, City Manager
From: Danielle Boldt, Chief of Police �
By:Danielle Boldt, Chief of Police
RANCHO CucAMONGA
Subject: APPROVAL TO AMEND CONTRACT FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES TO
ASSUME COUNTY AREA RESPONSIBILITES AND RECEIVE A CREDIT TO THE
SCHEDULE A IN THE AMOUNT OF $39,042 EFFECTIVE JANUARY 9, 2016
THROUGH JUNE 30, 2016.
RECOMMENDATION
The Police Department recommends that the City Council authorize an amendment to the Schedule
A contract for law enforcement services from January 9, 2016 through June 30, 2016. The
amendment would reimburse the City $39,042 in exchange for the assumption of law enforcement
services rendered to the unincorporated areas immediately north of the City boundary.
BACKGROUND ANALYSIS
As part of the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department's efforts to enhance service delivery
throughout the county, the Office of the Sheriff conducted an analysis of law enforcement services
rendered to the unincorporated areas north of the City's boundaries. They found that in the course
of one calendar year, the services are equivalent to the workload of % of a full time deputy sheriff.
Due to the extended arrival times and other staffing related concerns, the areas assessed would be
better served by Rancho Cucamonga deputy sheriffs. The City residents who reside adjacent to
the unincorporated area would also be better served when they are effected by public safety issues
generated in the unincorporated areas.
The statistics and impacts have been reviewed by me, and I recommend City Council approves an
amended contract effective January 9, 2016 through June 30, 2016 wherein the City would provide
law enforcement services to the affected area and receive compensation equivalent to % of a full
time deputy sheriff position. At the conclusion of the contract period, we will submit a report to City
Council with a review of performance and recommendations for further consideration.

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the purchase of two (2) Traffic Signal Controller Cabinets from Econolite, of Anaheim, California, in the amount of $118,830.24, in accordance with Request for Bid ("RFB") #15/19-009 to be funded from account number 1712001-5603 (EquipmentNehicle Replacement Fund).
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
City Council approved the purchase of two (2) Traffic Signal Controller Cabinets in the adopted FY 2015/16 budget as part of the Equipment/Vehicle Replacement fund. These traffic signal controller cabinets will be used by the Public Works Services Traffic Signal and Safety Lighting section to replace any cabinets damaged as a result of traffic collisions or equipment failure. The Public Works Services Department provided specifications to the Purchasing Division for the purchase of the traffic signal controller cabinets.

There were three-hundred twenty-nine (329) vendors notified; ten (10)prospective bidders downloaded the RFB documentation, and only one (1) response was received.
After analysis of the bid response by the Streets, Storm Drains, and Fleet Superintendent and Purchasing staff, it has been determined to be in the City's best interest to recommend an award to Econolite, of Anaheim, California, for two (2) Traffic Signal Controller Cabinets. All applicable solicitation documentation is on file in the City's electronic bidding system and can be accessed through the City's Internet at www.cityofrc.us.

CARTS VALUED AT $36,556.48 TO THE COUNTY OF SAN BERNARDINO FOR

In July 2015, the City of Rancho Cucamonga purchased three EZ-Go Express gasoline powered
golf carts from Town and Country Golf Carts in Hemet for use by the Rancho Cucamonga Police
Department. In order for the vehicles to be used by county personnel, the vehicles must be
transferred to the County of San Bernardino. Responsibility for liability and maintenance will be the

Subject: CONSIDERATION OF APPROVAL OF A REQUEST TO SUMMARILY VACATE A 25-FOOT
WIDE STORM DRAIN EASEMENT, LOCATED AT THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF
HAVEN AVENUE AND THE SR-210 FREEWAY (V-231)-APN 201-272-23 RELATED FILES:
DRC2008-00464, DRC2013-00811
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached resolution summarily ordering the vacation of
the 25-foot wide storm drain easement, and the City Clerk shall cause a certified copy of this resolution
and exhibits to be recorded in the office of the County Recorder of San Bernardino County, California.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
DRC2008-00464 was approved by the Planning Commission on January 28, 2009, for the development of
two multi-tenant retail buildings with a drive-thru, located at the northeast corner of Haven Avenue and the
SR-210 Freeway. On November 13, 2013, the Planning Commission approved the time extension of the
project under DRC2013-00811. During the course of reviewing the project, it was determined that the
existing storm drain easement was granted by the State of California to the City. With the City processing
the vacation, the existing storm drain easement will become a private drainage easement which will be
maintained by the property owner. The property owner will also have the option to construct a new storm
drain within the easement around the proposed building and discharge to Haven Avenue.
Chapter 4, Article 1, Section 8333 of the Streets and Highways Code allows for an easement to be
summarily vacated when it has been superseded by relocation and there are no public facilities within the
easement.
On November 10, 2015, the Planning Commission found, by minute action, that vacation of the 25-foot
wide storm drain easement was consistent with the General Plan.

THE HOWARD DUERSON CHASTAIN, JR 2004 TRUST FOR THE PURCHASE OF
REAL PROPERTY GENERALLY LOCATED AT THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF
ARROW ROUTE AND ROCHESTER AVENUE; (APN 229-021-97) AND THE
APPROPRIATION OF $1,895,000 FOR PURCHASE AND $40,000 FOR CLOSING
COSTS AND CONTINGENCY FOR A TOTAL OF $1,935,000 FROM FUND 25 TO
ACCOUNT NO. 1025001-5600 CAPITAL OUTLAY LAND.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council:
1.Approve the attached Real Estate Purchase Contract for the purchase of 2.4 acres of real
property generally located at the northeast corner of Arrow Route and Rochester Avenue;
APN 229-021-97; and
2.Authorize the City Manager or his designee to execute all agreements and documents
necessary to effect the purchase and on-going management of the activities of the parcel; and
3.Approve the appropriation of $1,935,000 including the purchase price of $1,895,000, and a
contingency for closing costs of $40,000 from Fund 25 to Account No. 1025001-5600.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
The Rancho Cucamonga Animal Services and Adoption Center was first constructed in 1993
concurrently with the construction occurring at the LoanMart Field and adjacent sports complex. The
facility was designed and built to state of the art standards at that time. Over the past 20 years, the
services at the facility have grown and the size of the facility is not ideal to meet future needs and has
become dated with regard to its design and operational efficiency. The proposed acquisition site is a
prominent corner strategically located near the existing sports complex and animal services center
where maintenance and operations can be efficiently provided. Additionally, the new site could be
developed while continuing use of the existing animal services facility due to the close proximity to
these corners. The opportunity to acquire a comparable property at a reasonable market price has
not presented itself until now.
In early November 2015 staff became aware that the vacant 2.4 acres on the northeast corner was
listed for sale (Exhibit A). Following City Council authorization and direction, staff began negotiations
to purchase the property and has reached tentative agreement to acquire the property at its appraised
full market value of $1,895,000. This was also the listing price for the property. The tentative terms

Acre
Additional Mitigation Measure
•Comments were received from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW)
regarding the potential necessity for the project to file Notification of Lake or
Streambed Alteration Agreement (LSA)in compliance with Section 1602 of the Fish
and Game Code.
•Staff met with CDFW and determined that the project should file the necessary
documents to determine whether a LSA is necessary.
•A new mitigation measure has been added to the Initial Study Parts II and III requiring
that the applicant,prior to earth moving activities,file the necessary documents to
determine whether an LSA is necessary.
Recommendations
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission take the following actions:
Approval of General Plan Amendment DRC2015-00388 and Victoria Community
Plan Amendment DRC2015-00390 through adoption of the attached Resolution and
Ordinance and adopt the related Mitigated Negative Declaration of environmental
impacts with the added mitigation measure
WEST-SIDE PARKS, LANDSCAPING, AND
STREET LIGHTING DISTRICTS
Options for Continued Fiscal Stability
City Council Meeting
December 2, 2015
PD (Park District) 85
•Formed in 1985
•Funds Red Hill and Heritage Parks
•28,000 parcels
•$31 per SF/year; not increased since 1985
•Currently “C-” level service, considerable deferred maintenance
•Current budget: $1.27 million
LMD 1
•Funds parks and street
landscaping within nearly
the same boundaries as PD
85
•18,000 parcels
•7 parks -Bear Gulch, East
and West Beryl, Old Town,
Church Street, Golden Oak,
Hermosa
•Currently “C-” level service
•Rate $92.91 per SF/year;
not changed since 1993
•Current budget: $1.2
million
West Side Parks, Landscaping, and Street
Lighting—Long Term Fiscal Stewardship
•Current parks, landscaping and lighting were all
developed to be self funded from maintenance
districts.
•5 cents per one dollar of property tax goes to the
General Fund.
•Maintenance reductions have been necessary to
balance budgets resulting in a decline in
landscaping and park conditions
Budget Balancing Principles
•Provide best possible services with funds available
•Look for solutions which preserve fiscal equity
throughout the community
•Preserve core functions of each park within the
Districts
•Priority will be to maintain safe conditions
•Wherever possible, avoid irreversible changes
Service Level Reductions
•Previous service level reductions have lowered
costs and balanced budgets
•Parks and parkway areas currently “C-” level of
service.
•It is proposed that an ongoing service level of “C”
be targeted
•Continued reductions in turf and irrigated areas will
be required, as water rates rise 3-5% per year
Contracting Out Services
•LMD 1 mostly contract maintained
•PD85 maintenance performed by City staff
•Youth sports groups provide various volunteer contributions
•It is proposed to solicit bids for all LMD1 and PD85 maintenance
•Includes bid alternative to replace volunteer efforts, if necessary due to burnout
•The net savings of contracting out not known until bids come in
•Time is of the essence –budget process for FY16/17 for begins in January.
Contracting Out Services (con’t)
•Previous cost reductions reduced Public Works staffing
•Contracting out would result in a loss of 4 Public Works
FTE positions
•No staff will lose their job; retirements and other staff
attrition will allow affected staff to be reassigned
•No final decision until bids are back, and meet and
confer completed with labor groups
•Any net savings reallocated to deferred maintenance
and/or relieving stretched volunteer resources
Reallocation of Special District
Administrative Costs
•The budget charges all 35 special districts for their
finance, human resources, and technology support
through a Cost Allocation Plan (CAP)
•Consistent with methodologies widely adopted by
other state, county, and local agencies
•Reductions in staff allow reduction in CAP
•50 percent reduction in CAP proposed for these
districts
•Reduces costs for Districts by $90,450
General Benefit vs. Special Benefit
•Proposition 218 created a new concept for allocating costs
based on benefits -
•“Special benefit” to parcels is quantified and assessed
•“General benefit” is to the general public; also quantified,
paid from other sources (typically General Fund)
•The General Fund picks up the General Benefit component in
LMD2, based on case law over the last 5-7 years.
•Older districts like PD85 and LMD1 are not legally required to
have a General Benefit contribution, but it is permissible.
Option for Establishing General
Benefit Contribution
•Staff proposes to support 11% ($308,580) of the
expenses in PD 85 and LMD 1 to reflect an
estimated General Benefit.
•Approving this contribution provides fiscal relief
and fiscal parity with the newer Districts.
Sports Organization Light Fees
•No fees are currently assessed for sports field lighting citywide
•Some youth sports groups make contributions to the facilities
•Volunteer field maintenance
•Voluntary $5 contributions per player
•Rancho Cucamonga one of 8 cities out of 29 surveyed who do not charge for field and light use
•Lighting systems are beginning to fail and parts are not available for many older lighting systems
•Becoming a critical situation at Old Town and Heritage Parks
Proposed Citywide
Sports Lighting Changes
•Install credit card readers and electronic controls on all sports field lighting
•A $6 per hour charge would cover the maintenance and replacement of sports
field lights
•Eliminate $5 voluntary contributions to offset some of the new cost of the
fee
•Reduces avoidable costs by turning off field lights when not in use
•At Red Hill Park, replace the current single-meter system with multiple meters
•Single meter creates higher electricity costs due to tiered rates
•Cost of $260,000 to rewire and re-meter, to take advantage of lower
electricity rates
Water Costs
•Water continues to be significant portion of costs -rates expected to increase 3.7% in 2016
•The Governor is proposing the extension of the drought declaration
•Recycled water is used at Red Hill Park where available
•No immediate plans by CVWD to further develop reclaimed water infrastructure
•Ongoing adjustments in landscaping will continue to prevent large water cost increases
•Staff will adjust irrigation use should El Niño conditions produce additional rain
Capital Reserves and
Emergency Repairs
•Aging parks and facilities requiring increasing levels of maintenance and repair –just like our homes
•Major facility improvements have been deferred to help control the budgets
•To continue to keep parks in a safe condition, it is necessary to create a capital reserve fund for PD85 and LMD 1
•New line item to be created
•Does not add additional funds, but creates a plan
•Budgeting for these items results in a more realistic annual operating budget.
Future Budget Balancing Options
•Cell tower revenue possibilities
•Solar Power generation possibilities
Fiscal Impact to PD85 and LMD 1
•Assuming the presented adjustments are made,
budgets for FY16/17 are projected to remain
balanced
•Reduced service levels would be sustained
•Some emergency repairs would be possible
•Some capital replacement funds would be accrued
•Exact dollar savings cannot be determined until
results of contract bidding is complete and final
costs are calculated
Los Amigos Park
•Park design is complete; construction finish by March
2017 to receive $3.9 million grant reimbursement
•If project does not move forward, an estimated $250,000 -
300,000 repayment would be due to the State.
•Estimated annual maintenance and operation cost of
$154,850 to the General Fund
•LMD 1 cannot absorb this cost
•No final decision on the project needed tonight -
•Recommended asking staff to investigate partnerships
•Final decision needed in March 2016; in the meantime,
bid process move ahead
Recommended Actions (per staff report)
1.Approve one time General Fund contribution of $40,000 to install credit card activated controls on ball field lights citywide.
2.Direct staff to prepare a resolution for FY 16/17 creating a $6 per hour lighting charge for all fields, courts and arenas to cover electricity, maintenance, and capital replacement costs.
3.Direct staff to discontinue $5 voluntary contribution by youth sports groups effective FY16/17.
4.Approve a one time $260,000 General Fund Capital Reserves expense to separate electrical meters and circuits at Red Hill Park to reduce usage rates.
5.Approve a one time expense of General Fund Capital Reserves in the amount of $14,650 to fund solar feasibility analysis at 4 parks.
Recommended Actions (cont.)
6.Direct staff to solicit bids for contract maintenance for PD 85
and rebid LMD 1 maintenance contract, all to include
alternative for contract sports field maintenance to assist
volunteers and youth sports groups.
7.Direct staff to proceed with agenda item to authorize bidding
of Los Amigos Park construction and seek partnerships with
Cucamonga School District, CVWD and others to support the
annual maintenance. A final report to be presented to the
City Council in February 2016.
8.Direct staff to move forward with proposed FY16/17 budget
including line items for emergency repair and capital
replacement reserves.
Red Hill Park Lake Modernization
•Following value engineering, the low bid for
rehabilitating the lake is $288,975, plus a $28,900
contingency, for a total of $317,875
•Annual lake maintenance is estimated at $78,000
•Reflecting unique value to the larger community, costs
of the lake rehabilitation and maintenance could be
General Fund
•If transfer to General Fund were approved a separate
accounting is proposed to track the annual costs.
Recommend discussion and direction to staff.

Staff recommends that the City Council approve the City Council Community Services
Subcommittee's recommendation for appointment(s) to serve four-year terms on the Park

concurred with conducting a recruitment. The vacancy was noticed and applications were
accepted through October 22 nd. Seven applications were received and interviews were held
by the Subcommittee on November 5th. Although there many qualified candidates, the
Subcommittee concurred with recommending the appointment of Peter Villegas. For those
Council Members unfamiliar with Mr. Villegas, he has been involved here in the City for many
years both as a resident and through his employer, the Coca-Cola Company, where he
currently serves as a Vice President in the Office of Latin Affairs. In addition, the term for
Commission Vice Chair Patricia Morris is also set to expire at the end of the year. The
Subcommittee discussed this as well and will present their full recommendation for both seats
at the December 2, 2015, City Council meeting.

Subject: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO
CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING RESOLUTION 13-079 TO ADD
LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE DISTRICT NO. 7 (NORTH ETIWANDA) TO THE
PURVIEW OF THE CITIZENS' OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE AND AMEND CERTAIN
OTHER ITEMS
BACKGROUND
In 2013, during the public engagement process regarding the Victoria Park and Landscape
Maintenance District (LMD 2), fiscal oversight and accountability were the theme of many
discussions. To that end, when property owners approved new rates in LMD 2 in June 2013, as
part of that action a Citizens' Oversight Committee was established. The purpose of this Committee
was to meet annually to review the annual audit after it is prepared, and confirm that the revenues
received from the assessments were spent appropriately. The Committee has neither budgetary or
operational decision-making authority, nor the authority to allocate financial resources or direct staff.
As established in Resolution 13-079, the Committee will be made up of members of the public who
must be at least eighteen years of age and own property within any LMD under the oversight of the
Committee. In March of 2014, the Council adopted an additional resolution amending the scope of
the Committee to add LMD 4-R (Terra Vista) and LMD 6-R (Caryn Communities). This change was
made in recognition that property owners in these districts had also approved new rates within the
last several years. Additionally, in November 2014, the Council adopted an additional resolution
amending the composition of the Committee to expand its membership from five (5) to six (6)
members.
PROPOSED RESOLUTION
On November 17, 2015, City Council established the West-Side Citizens' Oversight Committee,
with oversight of PD 85, LMD 1, and SLD 2. At that same meeting, the City Council action included
direction to bring forward an action to include Landscape Maintenance District No. 7 (North
Etiwanda) to the purview of the existing Citizens' Oversight Committee that has oversight of LMD's
2, 4, and 6. LMD 7 is a planned community facing fiscal challenges and could benefit from this
Committee's review and feedback.
With the establishment of the new West-side committee, it is recommended that the City Council
change the name of the established Landscape Maintenance District Citizens' Oversight Committee
to the more accurate and descriptive name of Planned Communities Citizens' Oversight Committee.
This name change will provide clarity as to the nature of these two similar yet separate groups.
Finally, it is recommended that the City Council change the number of committee members from six
(6)to at least five (5) to provide flexibility in staffing the Citizens' Oversight Committee.
