CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA STAFF REPORT DATE: April 3, 1996 TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council Jack Lam, AICP, City Manager FROM: Diane O'Neal, Management Analyst II SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF A RESOLUTION TO OPPOSE THE PUBLIC UTILITY COMMISSION'S PROPOSED SEASONAL RATE INCREASE Recommendation The City Council approve Resolution No. 96-'*** opposing the Public Utility Commission's proposed seasonal rate increase. Analysis Information received from Southern California Edison on March 14, 1996 advises that the Public Utility Commission has proposed "seasonalizing" rates for all of Edison's 3.6 million residential and 400,000 small commercial customers. The seasonal rates are designed to reflect the "higher cost-to-serve" during the summer. The current flat rates will be higher in the summer than the winter. The impact will be that summer rates will increase by approximately 7% due solely to "seasonalizing." Winter rates and bills will slightly decline. Edison continues to oppose the seasonal rates and continues to lobby against this proposal. The Public Utility Commission is presently developing an alternative to this proposal, but at present, the alternative still includes the seasonal rates. Edison has indicated that if seasonal rates are implemented, they would negatively impact inland and desert customers' summer electric bills. The Rancho Cucamonga Chamber of Commerce has also asked the City Council to consider a Resolution opposing these proposed seasonal rate increases. The Chamber did pass a Resolution opposing this proposal at its March 13, 1996 Board meeting. ,/"Resp.ectfu!lJ Sub ' ed, ~ Neat iane O' Management Analyst II Attachment: Resolution No. 96-''~* t7 RESOLUTION NO. 96-*'*'*' A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, OPPOSING THE PUC'S PROPOSED INCREASE TO THE SEASONAL RATE STRUCTURE WHEREAS, the command and control system for setting electrical rates has contributed to the rise in electricity costs in Califomia; and WHEREAS, State mandated programs have raised the costs of electricity for all Califomia customers; and WHEREAS, the division ofratepayer advocates and an administrative law judge have recommended to the California Public Utility Commission Commissioners an increase in electrical rates to residential and small business customers in the Southern and Central regions of California; and WHEREAS, Fourteen counties and 176 incorporated cities will be impacted by this proposed decision. The counties impacted are: Mono, Fresno, Inyo, Kern, Kings, Tulare, San Bemardino, Santa Barbara, Ventura, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, Imperial and Madera; and WHEREAS, the seasonal rates proposal pending before the CPUC will increase the cost of electricity by seven percent during the four months of the summer season; and WHEREAS, the CPUC staff defends this proposal by advocating that this rate increase is revenue neutral to the impacted privately-owned utility company, Southem Califomia Edison. However, Edison has opposed this rate proposal because of the additional burden it will put on their customers during the hottest months of the year; and WHEREAS, Edison is the only electrical utility under the jurisdiction of the Caiifomia Public Utilities Commission that is mandated to have seasonal rates. These higher rates will be applied to their residential and small business owner customers; and WHEREAS, seasonal rates will adversely impact senior citizens and all families and individuals who are living on fixed incomes. They will be forced to pay additional and burdensome dollars for their electrical costs. NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga hereby resolves and requests that the California Public Utilities Commission reject the recommendations of their staff which would impose a seasonal rate on residential and small business customers in Southern and Central California.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS Staff has spent many hours reviewing, testing, and researching various fork lift trucks over the past three months. Hawthorne Lift Systems was chosen because of their service record with other customers and their location, Fontana, California. On March 4, 1996, specifications on the fork lift truck were sent out a second time because of no response to the first request for proposal. On March 14, 1996, specifications were faxed to 30 firms and only 3 were returned. One was a "no bid," the next was from Forklift Sales, Inc., of Anaheim, and the final was from Hawthorne Lift Systems of Fontana, California, who ended up being the lowest responsible bidder.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS: On July 18, 1995, Mission Land filed applications requesting a land use change from Industrial Park to retail use for 32.96 acres of land fronting on 4th Street in Subarea 12 of the Industrial Specific Plan. Subsequently the applicant undertook preparation of a Traffic Study and asked that their application be put on hold until completion of the City's Market Study. On January 31, 1996, the Planning Commission directed staff to initiate consideration of an amendment to the Industrial Area Specific Plan to expand permitted retail uses subject to a Master Plan for property with frontage on 4th Street opposite the Ontario Mills and to include warehouse- style retail merchandising as a Conditionally Permitted Use in Subarea 12. On February 21, 1996, Mission Land requested that we go forward with preparation of an EIR. Completion of a draft Environmental Assessment by staff indicated that the proposed Land Use amendments will result in substantial traffic and air quality impacts. Therefore, the California Environmental Quality Act requires preparation of an Environmental Impact Report. The EIR will be focused on Traffic and Air Quality Analysis. Additional review of Biology, Cultural Resources, Noise, and Water will also be necessary to substantiate whether or not there will be impacts. Further, at the request of the Planning Commission and with the consent of the applicant, the EIR will also consider another 39.55 acres for the proposed use change under the alternatives analysis section. Staff reviewed the Planning Division's list of qualified consultants and selected for interview the three most qualified firms. Interviews were held. Based on the draft Environmental Assessment as well as the interview sessions, each firm was requested to submit a proposal to prepare an EIR, CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT CONTRACT FOR GPA 95-03B & ISPA 95-05 - MISSION LAND CO. April 3, 1996 Page 2 including a scope of services and cost estimates. The consultant selected, Michael Brandman Associates had the lowest bid. The proposed Scope of Services includes items recommended by staff, and agreed to by the applicant, with the entire contract cost to be borne by the applicant. CONCLUSION: For the reasons stated above, staff recommends approval of the Professional Services Agreement with Michael Brandman Associates in the amount of $39,831.

K' DATE: TO: FROM: BY: SUBJECT: CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA STAFF REPORT April 3, 1996 Mayor and Members of the City Council Jack Lam, AICP, City Manager Brad Buller, City Planner Larry Henderson, Principal Planner CONSIDERATION OF THE DRAFT ANNUAL COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT FUNDING ALLOCATIONS FOR FY '1996 - 1997- The review of the Federally required Annual Action Plan for fiscal year 1996 - 1997, including the preliminary selection of projects for the Community Development Block Grant annual application, based on an estimate of $1,024,000 (current year's allocation). RECOMMENDATION The City Council conduct a public hearing and take public testimony regarding the application for funding and direct staff to prepare a final Draft Plan to be brought back at a subsequent meeting for final adoption (see Exhibit B for the full Annual Action Plan). BACKGROUND Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds are provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to cities and counties based on a formula which considers the community's population, extent of poverty, and age of housing stock. To be eligible for CDBG funding, activities must at least meet one of the two primary goals of the CDBG program: 1) 2) The development of viable urban communities, including decent housing and a suitable living environment; and The expansion of economic opportunities, principally for persons of low and moderate income. In addition, CDBG regulations provide that at least 70 percent of all funds must be directed to activities that benefit low and moderate income persons. Of the activities proposed for the fiscal year 1996-1997, 100 percent benefit low- and moderate-income persons. This year's estimated grant allocation of $1,024,000 represents no change over last year's allocation. However, HUD has informed the City that this amount may be significantly reduced because of the federal budget approval process. However, HUD representatives have informed us to continue to plan the CDBG Program using our original estimated annual allocation until the federal budget is adopted. The City received 23 proposals, of which 19 were public service-related activities. In evaluating the proposals, first priority was given to those projects that provide basic food and shelter needs and were in progress and on going. Attachment "A" is a list of the proposals received and the funding CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT CDBG FUND ALLOC. 1996-97 April 3, 1996 Page 2 recommendation. Please note the shaded areas in this Exhibit indicate programs which may merit additional consideration through City Council re-programing action if additional funds are made available. Capital Improvement: In regard to the Capital Improvement projects, the Engineering Department has presented the following projects for the next fiscal year: Tapia Via - Grove to Rancheria (Includes pavement and curbs only) Rancheria - Start the design process for improvements to Rancheria Drive Wheel Chair Ramps - Retrofitting of existing curbs to accommodate handicapped persons Sidewalk Repair - Involves the grinding of displaced sidewalk and repair replacement Community Facilities: Community facility improvements are intended to be provided, to the extent possible, based on CDBG eligibility requirements. While the Lions Center complex is not located in a qualified target area, handicap improvements to the facility are eligible. Funds to complete the extensive improvements required at the Lions Center and bring it into conformance with ADA --requirements have been banked for the past three years. Additional funds will be provided this year in order to allow completion of the improvements. The Rancho Cucamonga Public Library will be receiving minor improvements to provide an office center and reading room for their literacy programs. This activity is eligible under CDBG guidelines, because the rooms will benefit low and moderate income persons. Home Improvement: The City's Home Improvement program has been in existence since 1990. The program offers deferred payment loans of up to $25,000 and grants of up to $5,000. Since the Program's inception there has been an overwhelming response for assistance from both the single- family and mobile-home community. There are currently 57 residents on the waiting list for single- family rehabilitation and 36 residents on the mobile-home waiting list. Public Services: Federal regulations allow communities to use up to 15 percent of their grant allocation to fund public service activities. The amount recommended for FY 1996-1997 is $87,472 or 8.5 percent of the estimated allocation. The programs that are recommended meet the priority of assisting in immediate public health and safety needs, such as food and shelter. CORRESPONDENCE Notice of-availability of the draft Annual Action Plan, the proposed funding allocations, and the public hearing were published at least two weeks prior to the meeting on April 3, 1996, in the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin, as a display ad. Notice was also published in the La Voz newspaper.

Leveraging and Matching Funds The primary source of fund leveraging will occur in conjunction with activities carried out through the Redevelopment Agency with 20 Percent Set Aside Funds. This is accomplished through public/private partnerships with non-profit housing development corporations such as the North Town Development Corporation and the Southern California Housing Development Corporation. Other potential sources for leveraging include HOME Funds and Low Income Housing Tax Credits.

OTHER ACTIONS Obstacles to Meeting Under-Served Needs The primary obstacle identified toward meeting under-served needs was a lack of available resources. However, this is and will continue to be an issue. The best way to address this matter is to combine efforts and resources and tap new funding sources. The City is striving to do all three by forming public/private partnerships as well as seeking out new sources of funding, such as HOME Funds in order to better leverage available funding. Actions to Foster and Maintain Affordable Housing The majority of the Objectives and actions identified as part of this plan are specifically aimed at increasing 'or maintaining the City's existing affordable housing stock. Activities such as new construction, conservation of at-risk units, and preservation of existing units are all striving to increase the affordable housing stock.

All of the regulations and policies currently in place are necessary in order to maintain the public health, safety, and welfare. Actions to Reduce Lead-Based Paint Hazard In conjunction with the Community Development Block Grant Program, the City will continue to implement current Federal requirements concerning lead-based paint reductions. HUD requires that for any program utilizing CDBG Funds, all owners and/or tenants be notified in writing about the dangers of lead-based paint. In addition, units constructed prior to 1978 which are occupied by children under the age of 7 are inspected for defective paint surfaces. If a child residing in the home has an elevated blood lead level, then defective chewable surfaces will be treated and lead abate& It is also recommended that housing rehabilitation efforts carried out by the Redevelopment Agency also follow the same guidelines as those used for the CDBG Home Improvement Program. Actions to Reduce Poverty Generally, the City has relatively little control over the many factors which may affect the determination of an individuals income level. The primary activity that may be utilized by the City toward this end would be the support of public service agencies that incorporate job training and life development skills into their programs, which includes most of the agencies currently receiving funding from the City. Additionally, most of the activities funded by the City, particularly those related to non-housing community development, act indirectly to increase economic development in the City. Additionally, the City, through its CDBG contract activities, complies with Section 3 requirements encouraging the employment of local low income individuals. From a housing perspective, all of the priorities, objectives, and programs aimed at increasing affordable housing will hopefully increase the stock of housing available to those in the lowest income categories. Actions to Develop Institutional Structure and Enhance Coordination The Consolidated Plan evaluated gaps in the institutional structure and actions that might be taken to stren~hen the system. It was determined that one main action that can be taken toward this end is the increasing expertise of staff and the Council which in turn will increase efficiency and effectiveness. An additional activity includes the continued support of local coordinating agencies such as the San Bernardino County Homeless Coalition. The City shall continue to encourage direct contact between itself and the Public Housing Agency and other service providers operating in the region. Most of the coordination efforts in the west end are tied to funding resources and the type of service provided. Public Housing Improvements Each year the City reviews the Annual Comprehensive Grant application submitted by the Housing Authority in that the City must certify consistency of the activities with the goals and objectives of the CHAS and now the Comprehensive Plan. MONITORING Monitoring serves as an effective tool to ensure that federal funds are being spent in a manner consistent with the National Objectives of the CDBG program and that programs and projects are achieving stated goals. The following outlines the basic monitoring requirements that are followed in implementation of the CDBG program: Standards Utilized for Review Is the program meeting intended objectives? Is the agency capable of tracking/documenting necessary benefit information and is it capable of carrying out the responsibilities of its program consistent with federal .... requirements? " · Is appropriate documentation submitted correctly in a timely manner? Monitoring Procedures CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS All construction projects are expected to comply with federal labor and procurement procedures as well as the various affirmative action and equal oppommity requirements required by various federal and state laws. To ensure this end, the CDBG staff has developed a Procurement and Contract Compliance Manual that outlines in detail the various procedures and steps required as part of contract management. Additionally, the CDBG coordinator oversees and reviews contract preparation at each step from bid preparation, contract document preparation, pre-construction meetings, and on-going project inspections, including review of weekly payroll documents. SUBRECIPIENT AGENCIES All subrecipient agencies must sign a contract with the City in which the scope of work, time line, and documentation requirements are outlined. Agencies must submit detailed information regarding number and type of individuals benefitted with City CDBG funds on a monthly basis. Additional quarterly summation reports are required of some agencies in which further information is provided on activities accomplished in the past quarter. Finally, the City conducts an on-site inspection of each agency at least once a year, preferably toward the end of the funding cycle. Other Activities Generally, other activities funded through the CDBG program that do not fall under the above headings, such as the Home Improvement Program, are required to provide adequate documentation to ensure that appropriate eligible individuals are benefitring from the program and that all appropriate federal procurement regulations are being followed. This is generally accomplished through the provision of monthly activity reports and through continual review of activities with the CDB G Coordinator. FAIR HOUSING The City has contracted with the Inland Mediation Board since 1984 to provide education and enforcement of State and Federal housing laws for all residents who request assistance. Having Inland Mediation Board administer the City's Fair Housing Program assures that there are no impediments to fair housing choices in the program. In addition, affirmatNe outreach to program applicants most likely to experience impediments to fair housing choices at the hands of private individuals is assured, since the Board routinely targets its fair housing program outreach programs to such persons.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS This is an Eminent Domain action to acquire right-of-way for the street improvements for East Avenue north of Summit Avenue at the Northeast Park. The property is in the path of East Avenue and measures 30 feet wide by 60 feet long. There are 3 property owners. Two have settled with the City and the third is deceased with no heirs. Every attempt has been made by the City and the consultant title company to locate anyone related to the third owner. The title company has recommended an Eminent Domain action by the City to acquire ownership, and our City Attorney has concurred. A stipulation to the action could be if anyone is found to be an heir to the third owner, they will receive compensation for the taking, similar to the other two owners; which is $2,500.00. The right-of-way is needed to allow legal access to the new Northeast Park. Public safety is a major concern lending to the urgent nature of this action. Although negotiations for right- of-way dedication are desirable, it is felt necessary at this time to enact a Resolution of Necessity to proceed with condemnation of such right-of-way for the proposed street improvements for East Avenue north of Summit Avenue.

O'Neil CITY ENGINEER The City of Rancho Cucamonga P.O. Box 807 Rancno Cucamonga, CA 91729 SUBJECT: Request for More Signs Dear Mr. O'Neil: Pleased to meet you last week in City Hall. And many thanks for the blue and white visitor center marker signs on Foothill Boule- vard and Vineyard Avenue. What a difference they make! The purpose of this letter is to document our needs for additional signage; they are listed below in order of priority: Siqns on Foothill at the bottom of the exit ramps from 1-15. The enclosed photocopy of a recent page from our visitor log book lists visitors from "CORK, IRELAND" near the bottom of the page. These young women exited 1-15 southbound onto CA-~6 westbound, and by chance stumbled upon us because of your new sign on Foothill. They were in great need of visitor information which, fortunately, we were able to supply. How much better to clearly and proactively direct such travelers searching for Route 66 to our visitors center with appropriate signage right at this important junction! Sion on Vineva~d south of Foothill announcin~ visitors center ahead· This situation is illustrated by a party attending last month's conference at the Red Lion Hotel in Ontario of the American Business Women. Included in their conference packet was the Ontario Convention and Visitors Bureau's visitors guide which lists us as a local attraction. Seeing no signage they quessed they should turn east on Foothill, and proceeded on a long, frustrating detour wondering where we are located. They explained this need for a "visitors center ahead" sign on Vineyard to preclude such inappropriate turns on Foothill. Siqn on Vineyard to quide southbound visitors searchin~ for us. Soon after the initial sign went up on Vineyard we received a complaint from a southbound Vineyard trave- ler who assumed there would be a marker sign to show him where to turn left. He overshot beyond Foothill and registered his complaint with us. Mr. William J. O'Neil - 2 - April 247 1995 Mr. O'Neil, the Route 66 tourists are com!nc~ ready or not. Let's get these signs up and show them that we in Rancno Cucamonga wel- come them, value them and want to assist t~em in fulfilling their Route 66 travel needs. I look forward to your positive response to this request. Sincerely, Loren Cushing President LC:bl Enc: Page (photocopy) from guest log book dated 4/18/95.
