BACKGROUND: State Fire Marshal shall classify lands within state responsibility areas into fire hazard severity zones per Public Resource Code Section 4202. Zones are based on fuel loading, slope, fire weather, and other relevant factors present, including areas where winds have been identified by the department as a major cause of wildfire spread. Cal Fire developed and field-tested a model that evaluated the probability of the area burning and the potential fire behavior in the area. Many factors were included such as fire history, vegetation, flame length, blowing embers, proximity to wildland, terrain, and weather. The updated map includes new factors such as land use changes, recent fire history, new significant wind event data, and local climate data. “The Fire Hazard Severity Zone map evaluates “hazard,” not “risk”. “Hazard” is based on the physical conditions that create a likelihood and expected fire behavior over a 30 to 50-year period without considering mitigation measures such as home hardening, recent wildfire, or fuel reduction efforts. “Risk” is the potential fire damage to the area under existing conditions, accounting for any modifications such as fuel reduction projects, defensible space, and ignition-resistant building construction”. DISCUSSION: The following are the major changes: • Grand Terrace / Reche Canyon – add more acreage to very high hazard and change existing high hazard to very high hazard. There are no changes to the Very High Fire Hazard Zone map. The current CalFire map is congruent with the one in the City’s General Plan. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT C.5 Packet Pg. 28 None.

BACKGROUND: On April 24, 2018, the City Council directed staff to contract with the County of Riverside for animal sheltering services at the Jurupa Shelter. At that time, the City of San Bernardino was determining whether they would outsource sheltering services or continue to operate their shelter. The City of San Bernardino has since invested in refurbishing its shelter, expanding capacity, and improving its program. DISCUSSION: Riverside County has been a reliable partner in providing shelter services. Unfortunately, the shelter is approximately thirty minutes from Grand Terrace. This means that every impound removes our officer from the City for one and one-half to two hours. It also means that residents must travel that distance to reclaim or surrender their animals. The San Bernardino shelter is less than five miles from the City. This will make an animal recovery for the residents easier and increase officer efficiency. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: None FISCAL IMPACT: The current impound cost at Riverside County is $150.53 per animal Impounded. The City of San Bernadino rate is $141.00 per animal impounded. There would be a modest savings of $9.53 per animal impounded by switching shelters.

BACKGROUND: On October 10, 2018, the City Council appointed Adrian R. Guerra from the law firm of Aleshire & Wynder, LLP, to serve as City Attorney and entered into a Contract Services Agreement for City Attorney Services (“Agreement”). The Agreement has not been amended since the original approval in 2018. Following the City Attorney’s review in the fall of 2022 and subsequent Labor Negotiations closed sessions for the City Attorney, the City Council directed the City Manager to prepare an amendment to the agreement for City Attorney services with Aleshire & Wynder, LLP. DISCUSSION: Under the current Agreement, the City pays hourly rates for all services. The proposed Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement changes the method of compensation to Aleshire & Wynder, LLP to a fixed fee monthly retainer of $10,000 for up to 42 hours of general services, which includes: • Preparation for and attendance at City Council meetings, Planning Commission meetings, and any other City meetings requested by the City. • Attendance at weekly staff meetings, if requested by the City Manager, meetings with City staff, and meetings with external parties relating to General Legal Services. • Providing routine legal advice, consultation, and opinions to the City Council, commissions, or staff. • Drafting, editing, and/or review of ordinances, resolutions, and other related official documents. • Drafting, negotiating, and/or review of agreements. C.7 Packet Pg. 44 • Assisting with any California Public Records Act requests or responses to subpoenas for document production (where the city is not a party). • Monitoring new legislation and court opinions and updating/advising the City Council, commissions and staff as appropriate. In any month when the City requires more than 42 hours of general services, the City shall will Partners $250.00 per hour and Associates $240.00 per hour for General Legal Services for those extra hours. The City will continue with hourly rates for special projects and special services: • Special projects are services similar in nature to General Legal Services described above, but may require designation as single project that will be billed separately from the General Retainer due to budgeting or tracking purposes, because a significant amount of time will be dedicated to completion of a single project, or because the project will be ongoing for more than one month. Special Projects shall be pre-approved by the City Manager. City will pay Partners $250.00 per hour and Associates $240.00 per hour for Special Projects. • Special Services include, but are not be limited to, litigation matters, public finance, disciplinary actions or hearings, personnel work, labor negotiations, housing, cable television, water, toxics, refuse, franchising, enterprise activities and any major contract negotiation involving more than 10 hours (with City Manager approval). City will pay Partners $260.00 per hour and Associates $240.00 per hour for Special Legal Services. Below is a full summary of the proposed rates incorporated in Amendment No.1. Please note that all amounts will be subject to a CPI increase each July 1 beginning on July 1, 2024 to keep pace with inflation. Summary of Rate Structure Under Amendment No. 1. Monthly General Retainer Fixed $10,000 for up to 42 hours (costs not included) Retainer work after 42 hours and Special Projects Partner - $250/hr. Associate - $240/hr. Litigation/Special Services Partner - $260/hr. Associate - $240/hr. C.7 Packet Pg. 45 Summary of Rate Structure Under Amendment No. 1. Risk Mgt. and Code Enforcement $230/hr. Reimbursable For a business: Partner - $350/hr. Associate - $325/hr. For an individual: Partner - $310/hr. Associate - $285/hr. Bond $400/hr. Paralegal/Law Clerk $160/hr. Document Clerk $140/hr. CPI increase annually beginning July 1, 2024, for all amounts shown In addition to the amendment to the rate structure discussed above, Amendment No. 1 also removes specific names of attorneys referenced in the original Agreement that are now outdated. Rather than specify new names, Amendment No. 1 grants flexibility to the attorneys at Aleshire & Wynder who will provide services to the City. This is best summarized in the new Section 4, which will state: “In addition to Adrian R. Guerra acting as City Attorney/Agency Counsel, City Attorney shall designate an Assistant City Attorney and appoint various deputies as City Attorney deems appropriate to meet the needs of the City, without the need for amendment hereof. The City Manager shall approve any change to the Assistant City Attorney. A&W will exercise its discretion to utilize whichever attorney(s) (and staff) it determines to be best suited to its rendition of legal services under this Agreement, consistent with the competent and efficient rendering of legal services, and with a view toward rendering such services in an economically efficient manner.” FISCAL IMPACT: Assuming the City incurs less than 42 hours of general services each month, the City C.7 Packet Pg. 46 will only pay $10,000 for general services each month and $40,000 for the remainder of the fiscal year. For the fiscal year of 2023-24, again based on the assumption that the City incurs less than 42 hours of general services each month, the City will only pay $120,000 for the entire fiscal year for general services. These amounts do not include fees subject to hourly rates as shown above.

It also supports our Core Values by continuing to provide exceptional customer service to the residents of the City of Grand Terrace. BACKGROUND: Today the Public Works Department is clearly focused on the development of new infrastructure, maintenance of existing infrastructure, and management of Public Works Consultant Services. The Public Works Department is in a unique position, has a considerable number of projects are funded by special funds and grants, which are not subject to general fund fluctuations. Therefore, Public Works project delivery is contingent on adequate staff resources and not budget constraints. In the summer of 2021, a new Public Works Director/P.E. was hired; however, on January 7, 2022, the Public Works Director/P.E. left the City, which required the City to heavily utilize on-call engineering consultants. DISCUSSION: C.8 Packet Pg. 68 The City can utilize the above-mentioned engineering consultants on an as-needed basis, which affords the City an opportunity to access resources without a long-term commitment. In the past, the City utilized this process for special services and the on- call approach will allow these resources to be on standby. These services are specialized in nature and are not performed by City staff given the City’s staffing levels. None of the tasks associated with on-call engineering services can be performed by any city represented positions (classified city positions). Staff is confident that continuing with on-call engineering services will allow projects to be expedited. Staff recommends increasing the agreement about by $65,000 to cover the expenses for the remainder of FY 2022-23. This adjustment will result in a total compensation to Willdan in the amount of $158,290. Further, Staff recommends that City Council lessen the term of the Willdan Agreement from July 14, 2023, to June 30, 2023 so that it coincides with the ending of the fiscal year (as authorized by the Willdan Agreement). FISCAL IMPACT: Available funding in Public Works > Professional Services 10-175-250-000-000 in the amount of $65,000.

Approve the Independent Contractor Agreement for Fiscal Year 2022-2023 with LightHouse Social Service Centers for homeless housing assistance services, in a total contract sum not to exceed $125,010. 2. Authorize the City Manager to execute the Agreement subject to the City Attorney’s approval as to form. 2030 VISION STATEMENT: This staff report supports our Vision of a place where residents can enjoy quality of life that fosters pride and an engaged community, in that the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program funds community programs that benefit and protect Grand Terrace residents. BACKGROUND: Staff conducted outreach with local Non-Profit Organization Lighthouse Social Services Centers Center, based in Colton, to partner with implementing an Emergency Rent/Mortgage and Utility Payment Assistance Program and Homeless Housing Assistance Program. With the assistance of the San Bernardino County Community Development and Housing Department (CDH), and Lighthouse Social Services Centers Center, the consensus by all three parties was that both programs would be more easily managed, and staff costs could be reduced, if both programs were combined under one program. The County recommended updating the contracts to combine the previous allocations from both programs into one contract, with one allocation in the amount of $84,000. On December 14, 2020, the County announced the release of a third round of CDBG Coronavirus funds (CDBG-CV3). The City received an allocation of $41,010 for eligible COVID-19 new or existing programs. Based on discussions with the County (CDH) and Lighthouse Social Services Centers Center, these funds could help bolster the Rental Payment Assistance and Homeless Housing Assistance Programs that could use additional funding to provide additional assistance to the community. DISCUSSION: The City of Grand Terrace will contract with LightHouse Social Service Centers to provide outreach and rapid re-housing services to homeless persons who have or are at-risk of contracting COVID-19. These funds will be used to provide willing homeless persons with new-to-them residences and will include but not be limited to: application C.9 Packet Pg. 110 fees, credit check fees, security deposits, first-last-and progressive rental payments and utility startup cost (for up to six consecutive months). These no-income to low-income households may be located within the City of Grand Terrace or surround communities. The term of services is from September 1, 2022, to April 30, 2023. RECOMMENDATION: Staff is recommending the approval of the agreement between the City and LightHouse Social Service Centers for a total of $125,010 to aide in assisting at risk homeless persons.

These funds will be used to do outreach and provide willing homeless persons with new-to-them residences and will include but not be limited to application fees, credit check fees, security deposits, first-last-and progressive rental payments and utility startup cost (for up to six consecutive months). These no-income to low-income households may be located within the City of Grand Terrace or surround communities. UNITS OF SERVICE: Units of Service is defined as an instance of service given to an individual or household to assist them, in a given month. The number of clients times the total number of program activities per month will reflect the total units of service which results in the measurable outcome. TIME OF PERFORMANCE: September 1, 2022, through April 30, 2023 PROGRAM PARTICIPANT PERFORMANCE STANDARDS: CDBG-CV Activity: Because of the COVID-19 being so easily spread between human beings, the transient population is at a high-risk and need to find housing to comply with the current statewide stay-at-home Governor’s orders. The LSSC will provide the outreach and the rapid re-housing necessary to keep households safe wit the CDBG- CV funding. Also, because of the spread of COVID-19 households that depended on a low-income wage-eager to pay rent/mortgage and utilities may have lost their ability to stay in their residence. The LSSC will assist, using CDBG-CV funds, to provide rent/mortgage and/or utility payments for six (6) consecutive months, or less, per household. Measurable Outcome: A measurable outcome is needed to provide those services were rendered. Measurable outcome is counted in Units of Service (Services) and Direct Beneficiaries (Households). The measurable outcome will be recorded on Part I: Monthly Program Progress Report, Exhibit 4, and the number of unduplicated first-time clients (households) who participated in the program during the fiscal year will be recorded on Part II: Direct Benefit Report, Exhibit 4. OPERATIONS: The City of Grand Terrace contract with LSSC to provide outreach and rapid re-housing to homeless persons, as well as, rent/mortgage and/or utility assistance to low-income households to prevent homelessness related to the COVID-19 pandemic in the City of Grand Terrace and surrounding communities. The LSSC office is located at 1003 East Cooley, Suite 205, Colton, CA 92324. Hours of operation are 8:00 am – 5:30 pm Monday through Friday.

BACKGROUND: The City participates in the Federally funded CDBG Program as a cooperative city administered program by the San Bernardino County Economic Development Agency (County). Eligible activities for CDBG must meet one of the following national objectives as follows: 1) benefiting low-and moderate-income persons, 2) eliminating blight, and 3) meeting an urgent need. Eligible Activities Include Acquisition of real property for an eligible use, construction and rehabilitation of public facilities, demolition and clearance of deteriorated buildings, community services for low- and moderate- income persons or households, and removal of barriers that restrict the mobility of elderly and severely disabled adults. Each program year, the County publishes a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for the next CDBG program year. Applications were due on December 7, 2022. The County collects and reviews applications and forwards eligible applications to the City for recommendations on funding prioritization. The City Council is required to make its funding recommendations at a noticed public hearing. The recommendations are then scheduled before the Board of Supervisors for its approval. The City’s allocation for 2023-24 is expected to be $56,020. The allocations are based E.10 Packet Pg. 129 on population estimates, poverty, and overcrowded housing. The City Council may recommend funding for up to four projects with the allocation amount but only three applied. Any unprogrammed funds can only be used towards capital improvement (construction) projects. DISCUSSION: The City Council’s 2023-24 funding recommendations are shown in Table 1. Items 1-3 are projects currently funded by the Board of Supervisors and implementation of these projects is ongoing. 2023-24 Program Year Four CDBG-eligible applications were received, three are for public service and one is for construction, for the 2023-24 program year. All applicants were provided notice of this hearing via email on February 8, 2023. A summary of the eligible proposals and copies of the three applications with detailed grant proposals are attached. Table 1: 2023-24 Eligible Applications Priority Applicant Project FY 2023-24 Funding Request Funding Recommendations 1 Family Services Association Con’t. - Senior Center Coordinator position $50,000 $36,020 2 SB County Library Grand Terrace Branch Con’t. - Literacy Education $10,000 $10,000 3 Family Services Association Con’t - Provision of meals at senior centers and home delivery for seniors $10,000 $10,000 4 City of Grand Terrace Rehabilitation/Improvements to Local Streets $385,000 $0 Total Requested $455,000 Estimated Allocation $56,020 Difference ($398,980) Recommendation Staff recommends funding the three top projects which assist underserved target E.10 Packet Pg. 130 populations in our community. The City’s estimated allocation of $56,020 will not be sufficient to fully fund all proposals. Staff recommends that the Council prioritize the funding recommendations to fully fund the County’s’ Literacy Program and FSA’s senior nutrition program. Partial funding is recommended for the FSA senior center coordinator program which has not been operating at its fullest capacity since hot meals have not been served since COVID-19. The Public Works Engineer is working on a separate rehabilitation project which will improve city streets, but due to the minimal allocation of CDBG funds the City will not be able to complete the desired project without negatively impacting the senior community and the literacy program, and therefore recommends rejecting funds toward the rehabilitation of local streets. FISCAL IMPACT: In addition to staff time incurred for project administration, there is a temporary fiscal impact to the City’s General Fund because the City would need to advance grant funds for all but the County Literacy Program, with said advanced monies being later reimbursed by the County. The County administers the Literacy Program Countywide, and no costs are incurred by the City for that program. Budget appropriation for these grant allocations will be requested during the Fiscal Year 2023-24 budget process.

Client eligibility (for all clients including illiterate adults) must be evidenced by documentation and data concerning beneficiary family size and income. This activity was funded in previous fiscal years and is a continuing activity. Therefore a quantifiable increase in the level of service is required.

Service Location: 22795 Barton Road, Grand Terrace, CA 92313. Prior to COVID-19, the San Bernardino County Library Adult Literacy Program saw gradual increases in the number of learners served at each location. However, after COVID-19, the number of patrons who visited the library has significantly decreased. This has directly impacted how many potential learners came into the branch as well as how many current learners felt comfortable returning to the program due to health and safety. Therefore, the number of learners served has not increased this year, but the expansion of the program has included the following: (1) expansion of support hours provided by the library staff to tutors who need training; (2) expansion of support hours provided by the library staff to learners who need additional resources and meetings to revisit roles and goals; (3) expansion of library of materials and curriculum used to teach adult learners how to improve reading and writing; (4) expansion of hours available for tutors and learners to meet together in the Library for tutoring sessions (formerly limited to 1-2 hours per week will now expand to 3+ hours per week, depending on the tutor-learner pair’s availability, willingness to meet more, and need to meet a specific goal); and (5) expansion of outreach and planning to promote the program to the local community (higher number of community connections, more meetings with adult-literacy-assigned-library-staff to develop awareness events and strategize to bring in more learners and tutors).

For many seniors, Senior Nutrition is the first service that they seek for assistance to help them stay in their own homes and live independently. It is through funding from both San Bernardino CDBG program and San Bernardino County DAAS that we are able to provide this service to the residents in the City of Grand Terrace. FSA provides nutritious meals to seniors 62 years of age and older in a group setting at the Grand Terrace Senior Center. Home-delivered meals are also delivered to homebound seniors who aren't mobile by reason of illness, disability, and a lack of transportation. The program also provides a range of services, including nutrition screening, assessment, and education. No The geographic boundaries to be served are the entire boundaries of the City of Grand Terrace.

Does this project rely on only one source of leveraging? Is there adequate staff involved with the project if there is project turnover? Please address any factor that is critical to project success. 7 The Outbreak of COVID-19 fueled the need for food services and an increased demand for meals. The demand continues to rise, and new participants are enrolling in the Senior Nutrition Program each day. FSA continues to exceed its program objectives and targets to meet the growth of the program. 2024 Without the meals supplied by this program, many seniors would be prematurely placed in assisted living or nursing homes due to their inability to shop for food or prepare their own meals. Many seniors face the threat of hunger due to limitations in their daily living activities, such as difficulties with walking, meal preparation, eating, and memory. In addition, many seniors live alone and do not have family or neighbors to help shop for or prepare meals. For individuals in these challenging situations, the Senior Nutrition Program serves as a critical and valued program. FSA’s Senior Nutrition Program is scalable based on the amount of funding received from various funding sources. The more funds received, the more seniors are able to utilize the congregate and homebound nutrition services that FSA offers. FSA employs over 250 individuals and has a strong volunteer base of nearly 1,000 volunteers. Programs are staffed appropriately, and our executive team is prepared to fill any vacancies should the need arise. The Senior Nutrition Program serves as a critical and meaningful approach to tackle food insecurity, isolation, depression, and many other health and social issues that vulnerable seniors experience. FSA provides seniors with one nutritionally balanced meal Monday - Friday. By providing these meals we will continue to meet our goals of improving the overall health and wellbeing of those we serve. 2023 E.10.d Packet Pg. 159 At t a c h m e n t : G R A N 2 3 P S - 0 4 7 ( 2 0 2 3 - 2 4 C o m m u n i t y D e v e l o p m e n t B l o c k G r a n t P r o g r a m ( C D B G ) ) Public Services Program Application Fiscal Year – Exhibit 4: Project Budget & Sources Project Budget SB County Share: ($) Other Source: ($) Personnel Equipment (Rental, Lease or Purchase) Consultant Services (Auditing, Accounting or Payroll) Space Rent Insurance Consumable Supplies Other Total Costs Total Project Budget Cost: (CDBG Share + Other Source) 8 $1,485,480.00 $4,522,323.00 2024 $11,478.00 $0.00 $10,000.00 $4,512,323.00 $0.00 $27,283.00 $975,794.00 2023 $1,889,885.00 $95,474.00 $26,929.00 $10,000.00 E.10.d Packet Pg. 160 At t a c h m e n t : G R A N 2 3 P S - 0 4 7 ( 2 0 2 3 - 2 4 C o m m u n i t y D e v e l o p m e n t B l o c k G r a n t P r o g r a m ( C D B G ) ) Public Services Program Application Fiscal Year – Exhibit 4A: CDBG Funds Requested and Leveraging Information Indicate the amount being requested by the city.

In 17/18 a coordinator was funded and membership and participation increased by 10%. As membership continues to increase, this staffing position and increased operational costs are needed to manage the center's increasing activities. 2024 Funding is a critical factor for Project success. This application seeks $50,000 of CDBG funding to assist in staffing and operations of the Center. It is critical to the success of the program that there is a non-volunteer staffing to manage the Center. A paid coordinator has been in place during the 17/18 year and the Center has already experienced increased participation. The Senior Center serves a minimum of 180 seniors on a monthly basis, and fills this gap by providing a variety of health, social and counseling services. With the help of CDBG funding a paid position was established in 17/18, and in less than the first half of the fiscal year membership grew by 10%. The grant is needed to sustain and increase this growth. 2023 The Project will provide services to the senior target population. It will allow for staffing of the Center to manage the services and activities of the Senior Center and its 185 monthly senior participants. The Project will allow seniors to have a safe and healthy place to continue to be nourished and stay active within their community.

It is estimated that at 3.4 million Californians fall at the “Below Basic” Literacy Level. In the County of San Bernardino alone, it is estimated that at least 500,000 adults cannot read at all. This service provides assistance to adults who fall into this category. 2024 This program is funded primarily through the Library Department budget. Additional State and County funding helps the Library Department to expand the program and reach a larger audience than would be possible through internal funding alone. The Literacy Program is a multi-branch program, with branch staff interacting with learners and tutors while reporting is overseen by administrative staff. We have taken steps to ensure that any staff turnover will not impede the Literacy Program and that services would continue to be offered through the cross-training of staff. This program focuses on adult individuals who are illiterate or who have low literacy skills. The County Library Adult Literacy Program provides a no cost alternative for adults to gain these skills. 2023 The Adult Literacy Services Program assesses illiterate and presumed low-income adults and senior residents of Grand Terrace, and provides those that qualify with programming, tutoring, and instruction to aid them in meeting their literacy goals.

Conduct a public hearing, and 2. Direct the City Attorney to Read the title of the Ordinance, waive further reading, and introduce AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GRAND TERRACE, STATE OF CALIFORNIA, FINDING ZONING CODE AMENDMENT 22-03 IS EXEMPT FROM CEQA PURSUANT TO SECTION 15061(B)(3) AND AMENDING TITLE 18 OF THE GRAND TERRACE MUNICIPAL CODE BY ADDING CHAPTER 18.64 ESTABLISHING OBJECTIVE DESIGN STANDARD REQUIREMENTS 2030 VISION STATEMENT: This staff report supports our Mission Statement, to preserve and protect our community and its exceptional quality of life through thoughtful planning, within the constraints of fiscally responsible government; and Goal No. 3, to promote economic development by updating zoning and development codes in preparation of future development. BACKGROUND: Assembly Bill 35 (Government Code Section 65913.4) was enacted on September 29, 2017, as part of a comprehensive bill package designed to address the State’s housing shortage and excessive cost. The intent of new State housing law SB 35 is to streamline the review process for multifamily residential projects by establishing a by-right ministerial approval, in order to increase housing production and assist jurisdictions make progress into meeting their regional housing need allocation (RHNA). The State legislature has made several changes to State housing laws in recent years to streamline housing approvals. In addition to the Housing Accountability Act (HAA), Recent State legislation, primarily established under Senate Bill (SB) 35 and SB 330, requires cities to review certain residential projects against objective standards, including objective design standards, rather than design guidelines which are subject to E.11 Packet Pg. 198 interpretation. Specifically, the legislature has taken steps to reduce the amount of subjective discretion jurisdictions have, requiring that certain residential types of projects are being reviewed and considered through a ministerial process. Government Code Section 65913.4 (5) defines “Objective Design Standards” as the following: “one that involves no personal or subjective judgment by a public official and is verifiable by reference to criteria available and known to both an applicant and the public official prior to submittal.” The following summarizes the collective impact that the three legislative actions have had and how that transcended to the requirement for the City to establish objective design standards: Housing Accountability Act (HAA) A city cannot deny a project, reduce its density, or otherwise make a project infeasible, if the project complies with objective standards. However, if an applicant seeks an exception to an objective standard, the project is no longer protected by the HAA. In this circumstance, since the project approval must rely on the findings required for approval of a deviation or variance, any subjective standards and full discretionary review of the design by the Commission can be used to evaluate the project. Affordable Housing Streamlined Approval Process (SB 35) This legislation creates an opt-in program for developers that allows a much more streamlined ministerial approval process for developments in the City as it relates to meeting the regional housing need allocation (RHNA). To be eligible, a project must satisfy a specific level of affordability; be on an infill site; comply with existing residential and mixed-use general plan or zoning provisions; and comply with other requirements such as, locational and demolition restrictions among other strict and limited criteria. This streamlined, ministerial entitlement process relies on objective design standards. Additionally, an SB 35 project is not subject to review under CEQA. An eligible project is also not subject to any type of discretionary review; therefore, the adoption of objective design standards would significantly affect these types of projects and ensure quality design. Housing Crisis Act (SB 330) This allows a housing developer to submit a “preliminary application” to a city for a housing development project. Submittal of a preliminary application allows a developer to provide a specific subset of information on the proposed housing development before providing the full amount of information required for a formal application. SB 330 placed additional guarantees or assurances for a developer. It also requires both the city and the developer to comply with certain timeframes for reviews and submittals. Upon submittal of a preliminary application an applicant is allowed to “freeze “development standards that apply to a project while the rest of the material necessary that will be required for a formal submittal is assembled. After an application is deemed complete, E.11 Packet Pg. 199 the City cannot deny an eligible housing development project or condition its approval to reduce density, impose a moratorium, or require design changes that are inconsistent with objective design standards. These provisions will sunset on January 1, 2025, unless extended by the legislature and governor. DISCUSSION: The City of Grand Terrace desires to establish Objective Design Standard requirements in accordance with Senate Bill 35 (SB 35) and Senate Bill 330 (SB 330). These objective design standards intend to respond to State law by making changes to the zoning Ordinance (Title 18) establishing Chapter 18.64 Objective Design Standards (Attachment A). The proposed Objective Design Standards (“ODS”) will supplement the City’s existing development standards as outlined in each zoning district. The regulations do not affect or change allowable land use types and do not replace individual zoning district development standards established for lot size, setbacks, lot coverage, building height, etc. The process to review and approve development projects relying upon implementation of these standards aligns with the State requirements that the City adopt a ministerial review and approval process for multifamily residential development and mixed-use development with a residential component comprising at least two-thirds of the project. In addition, the proposed ODS contain standards for sustainable design, building design, site design, and establishes the procedures for conducting ministerial design review, including provisions that allows for discretionary review of a project by the Planning Commission should an applicant choose to deviate from the established standards. On May 19, 2022, the Planning Commission received a presentation introducing the proposed ODS requirements and on June 16, 2022, a joint Special Workshop Meeting was held by the City Council and Planning Commission/Site and Architecture Review Board to provide feedback to staff. The City of Grand Terrace was selected among three other cities by SCAG to develop the City’s Objective Design Standards. Crandall Arambula (“Consultant”) was hired by SCAG to work with the selected cities. Staff has been holding bi-weekly meetings with Jonathan Konkol and Don Arambula of Crandall Arambula to further develop the city’s ODS requirements, including addressing the City Council and Planning Commission’s input from the previous workshop meetings. The Consultant has worked with staff refining ODS requirements including but not limited to mixed use development, electric vehicles, parking, color, walls and fences, open space, public art, landscape requirements, and inclusion of low income units. In addition, the Consultant has worked with staff to refine the graphics to better illustrate the requirements, assess the ODS original draft, enhance and clarify the language. E.11 Packet Pg. 200 On January 19, 2023, the Planning Commission site and architectural review board conducted a duly noticed public hearing and voted unanimously 5-0 adopting a Resolution recommending City Council adoption. The Planning Commission recommendation included a couple of additional provisions: 1. Compliance with San Bernardino County Fire; and 2. Directed staff to include additional requirements to mitigate privacy issues. Multi-family residential units have limited privacy due to the type of development; however, a 10-foot landscaping setback has been included requiring vertical evergreen trees at a minimum height of 20-feet, and maximum spacing of 10-feet on-center at installation to provide landscape privacy screening to adjacent existing residential development. ENVIRONMENTAL: The proposed zoning code amendment is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines, Section 15061(b)(3), which states the activity is covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects [that] have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Amending the Grand Terrace Code to include Objective Design Standards (ODS) would not result in any environmental impacts. Future development projects subject to the proposed ordinance would be reviewed for potential environmental impacts. PUBLIC NOTICE: Public notice was provided in accordance with state law, which included publishing a legal advertisement in the Grand Terrace City News and posting in three public places. As of the date of this report, staff has not received any comments. FISCAL IMPACT: There will be no expenditure on the part of the city to adopt this ordinance. RECOMMENDATION: Staff is recommending the City Council conduct a public hearing and read by title only, waive further reading and Introduce an Ordinance Finding Zoning Code Amendment 22- 03 exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) and Amending Title 18 of the Municipal Code by adding Chapter 18.64 establishing Objective Design Standard Requirements.

( O b j e c t i v e D e s i g n S t a n d a r d s ( O D S ) ) AGENDA REPORT MEETING DATE: February 14, 2023 Council Item TITLE: Unfunded OPEB Liability - Strategy Risk Level Approval PRESENTED BY: Christine Clayton, Finance Director RECOMMENDATION: Approve CERBT Strategy Risk Level 2030 VISION STATEMENT: This staff report supports Goal #1, Ensuring Fiscal Viability by addressing funding options to reduce pension costs. BACKGROUND: The City of Grand Terrace provides certain medical benefits to eligible retirees. To be eligible to receive the benefits, retirees must have retired directly from the City under CalPERS with a service or disability retirement. Such benefits are commonly referred to as Other Post-Employment Benefits (“OPEB”). At present, Public Agencies have two options for covering OPEB costs. One option is referred to as “pay-as-you-go,” where an employer makes the required insurance premium payments for its retirees as those premiums are due, out of its current year operating budget. This is the City’s current method. The other option is “pre- funding,” where funds are set aside in a dedicated trust account. Establishing and funding an OPEB trust ensures than an employer can meet its future obligations by leveraging the higher yields, thus decreasing the amount needed to be paid by the City’s General Fund. The Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB 75) requires agencies to account for and disclose their OPEB costs for all active and retired employees. As of the most recent valuation (June 2019) the City's Net OPEB Liability is $1,964,307 million for benefits already earned. Without a plan to address the City's OPEB Liability, it is anticipated that this amount will grow in the near future before it starts to decline. At its meeting of June 14, 2022, Council indicated they would like to further explore the use of a Section 115 Trust to address the City’s unfunded liabilities. This report to the City Council is a recommendation to setup a Section 115 Trust to better plan for and manage the City’s OPEB unfunded liability. At its meeting of September 13, 2022, Council approved the Prefunding Agreement and elected to pre-fund Other Post-Employment Benefits (“OPEB”) through California Employers’ Retiree Benefit Trust (“CERBT”) fund administered through the California F.12 Packet Pg. 244 Public Employees’ Retirement System (“CalPERS”) with an initial investment of $100,000 from the sale of the fire station. Council requested staff bring back the three (3) CERBT Strategy Risk Levels. DISCUSSION: There are three (3) Strategy Levels which are in the following table: Asset Class Allocation Strategy 1 Strategy 2 Strategy 3 Global Equity 59% 40% 22% Fixed Income 25% 43% 49% Treasury Inflation- Protected Securities 5% 5% 16% Real Estate Investment Trusts 8% 8% 8% Commodities 3% 4% 5% The long-term expected rate of return for Strategy 1 is 6.0%, Strategy 2 is 5.5% and Strategy 3 is 5.0%. FISCAL IMPACT: The fiscal impact of selecting a strategy is currently unknown.

California Employers' Retiree Benefit Trust (CERBT) CERBT Strategy 1 Objective The CERBT Strategy 1 portfolio seeks to provide capital appreciation and income consistent with its strategic asset allocation. There is no guarantee that the portfolio will achieve its investment objective. Strategy The CERBT Strategy 1 portfolio is invested in various asset classes. CalPERS periodically adjusts the composition of the portfolio in order to match the target allocations. Generally, equities are intended to help build the value of the employer’s portfolio over the long term while bonds are intended to help provide income and stability of principal. Also, strategies invested in a higher percentage of equities seek higher investment returns (but assume more risk) compared with strategies invested in a higher percentage of bonds. Compared with CERBT Strategy 2 and Strategy 3, this portfolio has a higher allocation to equities than bonds and other assets. Historically, equities have displayed greater price volatility and, therefore, this portfolio may experience greater fluctuation of value. Employers that seek higher investment returns, and are able to accept greater risk and tolerate more fluctuation in returns, may wish to consider this portfolio. CalPERS Board may change the list of approved asset classes in composition as well as targeted allocation percentages and ranges at any time. Composition Asset Class Allocations and Benchmarks The CERBT Strategy 1 portfolio consists of the following asset classes and corresponding benchmarks: Portfolio Benchmark The CERBT Strategy 1 benchmark is a composite of underlying asset class market indices, each assigned the target weight for the asset class it represents. Target vs. Actual Asset Class Allocations The following chart shows policy target allocations compared with actual asset allocations as of the specified reporting month-end.

Previously, Fixed Income, TIPS and Commodity asset classes were managed internally by CalPERS. California Employers' Retiree Benefit Trust (CERBT) CERBT Strategy 1 General Information Information Accessibility The CERBT Strategy 1 portfolio consists of assets managed internally by CalPERS and/or by external advisors. Since it is not a mutual fund, a prospectus is not available and daily holdings are not published. CalPERS provides a quarterly statement of the employer’s account and other information about the CERBT. For total market value, detailed asset allocation, investment policy and current performance information, please visit our website at: www.calpers.ca.gov. Portfolio Manager Information The CalPERS Board, through its Investment Committee, directs the CERBT investment strategy based on policies approved by the Board of Administration. State Street Global Advisors (SSGA) manages all underlying investments for CERBT, which include: Global Equity, Fixed Income, Real Estate Investment Trusts, Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities, and Commodities.1 Custodian and Record Keeper State Street Bank serves as custodian for the CERBT. Northeast Retirement Services serves as recordkeeper. Expenses CERBT is a self-funded trust in which participating employers pay for all administrative and investment expenses. Expenses reduce the gross investment return by the fee amount. The larger the expenses, the greater the reduction of investment return. Currently, CERBT expenses are 0.10% which consist of administrative expenses borne by CalPERS to administer and oversee the Trust assets, investment management and administrative fees paid to SSGA to manage all asset classes, and recordkeeping fees paid to Northeast Retirement Services to administer individual employer accounts. The expenses described herein are reflected in the net asset value per unit. The expense ratio is subject to change at any time and without prior notification due to factors such as changes to average fund assets or market conditions. CalPERS reviews the operating expenses annually and changes may be made as appropriate. Even if the portfolio loses money during a period, the expenses will still be charged. What Employers Own Each employer invested in CERBT Strategy 1 owns units of this portfolio, which invests in pooled asset classes managed by CalPERS and/or external advisors. Employers do not have direct ownership of the securities in the portfolio. Price The value of the portfolio changes daily based upon the market value of the underlying securities. Just as prices of individual securities fluctuate, the portfolio’s value also changes with market conditions. Principal Risks of the Portfolio The CalPERS CERBT Fund provides California government employers with a trust through which they may prefund retiree medical costs and other post- employment benefits (OPEB). CERBT is not, however, a defined benefit plan. There is no guarantee that the portfolio will achieve its investment objectives or provide sufficient funding to meet employer obligations. Further, CalPERS will not make up the difference between an employer's CERBT assets and the actual cost of OPEB provided to an employer's plan members. An investment in the portfolio is not a bank deposit, nor is it insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), CalPERS, the State of California or any other government agency. There are risks associated with investing, including possible loss of principal. The portfolio’s risk depends in part on the portfolio’s asset class allocations and the selection, weighting and risks of the underlying investments. For more information about investment risks, please see the document entitled “CERBT Principal Investment Risks” located at www.calpers.ca.gov. Fund Performance Performance data shown on page 1 represents past performance and is no guarantee of future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an employer’s units, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be higher or lower than historical performance data shown.

California Employers' Retiree Benefit Trust (CERBT) CERBT Strategy 3 Objective The CERBT Strategy 3 portfolio seeks to provide capital appreciation and income consistent with its strategic asset allocation. There is no guarantee that the portfolio will achieve its investment objective. Strategy The CERBT Strategy 3 portfolio is invested in various asset classes. CalPERS periodically adjusts the composition of the portfolio in order to match the target allocations. Generally, equities are intended to help build the value of the employer’s portfolio over the long term while bonds are intended to help provide income and stability of principal. Also, strategies invested in a higher percentage of equities seek higher investment returns (but assume more risk) compared with strategies invested in a higher percentage of bonds. Compared with CERBT Strategy 1 and Strategy 2, this portfolio has a lower allocation to equities than bonds and other assets. Historically, funds with a lower percentage of equities have displayed less price volatility and, therefore, this portfolio may experience comparatively less fluctuation of value. Employers that seek greater stability of value, in exchange for possible lower investment returns, may wish to consider this portfolio. CalPERS Board may change the list of approved asset classes in composition as well as targeted allocation percentages and ranges at any time. Composition Asset Class Allocations and Benchmarks The CERBT Strategy 3 portfolio consists of the following asset classes and corresponding benchmarks: Portfolio Benchmark The CERBT Strategy 3 benchmark is a composite of underlying asset class market indices, each assigned the target weight for the asset class it represents. Target vs. Actual Asset Class Allocations The following chart shows policy target allocations compared with actual asset allocations as of the specified reporting month-end.
