Vote: 4 - 0 Passed COMMUNICATIONS Inclusionary Housing Program Development Services Director Desatnik provided background on the creation of an Inclusionary Housing program. Many cities have viewed Inclusionary Housing programs as offering multiple benefits to the community, including: housing for low to moderate income working households, such as those headed by teachers, police officers, retail clerks, firefighters, senior citizens, young families, and others who would otherwise be priced out of the current real estate market; diverse, mixed -income communities; affordable housing spread throughout the community; market -based solution to leverage affordable housing; reduced sprawl and traffic congestion by allowing people to live closer to where they work and, for public sector employees, in the communities in which they serve; and predictability for developers who must all follow the same inclusionary housing policy and procedures. He added that despite a number of court challenges, these other ordinances have been upheld as a valid exercise of a city's zoning powers. He added the first step to create the program was to complete a financial evaluation. As public comment, Jeff Green and Maribel Nunez, of Inland Equity Community Land Trust, supported the City's efforts to establish a program and encouraged the Council to engage community residents as they move forward with the matter. CC_SA_October 4, 2022 Page 6 On motion of Council Member Jenna Guzman -Lowery, seconded by Council Member Denise Davis, the City Council authorized, by roll call vote, staff to develop an inclusionary housing program to encourage the development of affordable housing; approved the sole source agreement with Keyser Marston Associates Inc., for an amount not -to -exceed $50,400; and approved an additional appropriation of $50,400 from the General Fund unassigned fund balance to the Development Services FY 2022-23 Planning Budget. Vote: 4 - 0 Passed PUBLIC HEARINGS Planning Commission's Approval Appeal of City Center Project Mayor Barich declared the meeting open as a public hearing and called on Sean Reilly, of Development Services, for a review of the appeal of the Planning Commission's approval for the City Center mixed use project, as submitted by Lozeau Drury LLP, representing Supporters Alliance for Environmental Responsibility (SAFER). Amalia Bowley Fuentes, representing the Appellant, stated the Planning Commission should not have approved the Project and the City should prepare a revised SCEA or prepare an Environmental Impact Report ("EIR") because the SCEA failed to reduce the project impacts. As public comment, Steve Rogers said he thought there had been no real environmental review done and he questioned why a traffic study was not prepared. Tom Robinson, the project developer, urged the Council to deny the appeal, adding the City was in need of housing and the building and construction of the project would comply with the state's green building codes. A representative from the project consulting team, EPD Consulting, clarified that the appellant's comments were thoroughly reviewed and nothing led the team to change their opinion. One written comment was received, requesting the City approve to deny the appeal. With no further comments, the Mayor closed the public hearing. On motion of Council Member Mick Gallagher, seconded by Council Member Denise Davis, the City Council approved, by roll call vote, to deny the Appeal and uphold the Planning Commission's approval for Conditional Use Permit No. 1138 and Tentative Parcel Map No. 20475, and adoption and certification of the Sustainable Communities Environmental Assessment, for the City Center mixed -use project.

The Applicant, Vantage One Real Estate Investments, LLC. The Applicant, represented by Tom Robinson, described the project location as a key intersection in the town, which will encourage people to walk in the area and access the train station. Smaller units have intentionally been designed in order to be more affordable, but he added there will be many attractive amenities. As public comment, Steve Rogers complained that a full environmental impact report was not prepared, and he was concerned this project was situated within a flood zone and he urged the Council to hold off approval of this until the Transit Villages Specific Plan (TVSP) was considered. Pat Meyer, representing Vantage One Real Estate, pointed out a full hydrology study was performed in compliance with FEMA and the project was CC_SA_October 4, 2022 Page 7 consistent with the City's Municipal Code. Development Services Director Desatnik stated both the City Center Project and The Grand Project were not dependent on approval of the TVSP. One written comment was received in support of the project. With no further comments, Mayor Barich closed the public hearing. On motion of Council Member Jenna Guzman -Lowery, seconded by Council Member Denise Davis, the City Council approved, by roll call vote, Resolution No. 8389 adopting the Sustainable Communities Environmental Assessment document prepared for the project in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act; adopted Resolution No. 8390 approving Amendment No. 23 to Specific Plan No. 45 (Downtown Specific Plan); and adopted Resolution No. 8391, approving Commission Review and Approval No. 911 and Tentative Parcel Map No. 20175 for the proposed project.

Council Members fully supported the side letter. Council Member Gallagher pointed out that with approval of the paramedic incentive language in Article 23 of the MOU, only one emergency vehicle, not two, will be deployed in response to a call because the Fire Department will have a paramedic assigned to each unit.

Vote: 4 - 0 Passed Ordinance 2944 Water, Sewer and Solid Waste Charges/Payments Management Services/Finance Director Garcia explained the need for Ordinance 2944 amending Title 13 (Public Services) Chapter 13.12 relating to water, sewer and solid waste charges and payments to provide clarification and simplify processes for city staff to waive late fees for customers and provide for the customer to request a late fee waiver once every twelve months.

He added the City would continue to monitor and evaluate security services for the next 18 months and SBCTA was providing funding for two years. As public comment, Steve Rogers was concerned that University Station was not mentioned in this agreement and it appeared to him that there would be no bus service to serve the rail. On motion of Council Member Jenna Guzman -Lowery, seconded by Council Member Mick Gallagher, the City Council determined, by roll call vote, that approval of an Operations and Maintenance Agreement with the San Bernardino County (erroneously referred to as San Bernardino California) Transportation Authority is not subject to environmental review pursuant to Section 15162 of the State's Guidelines implementing the California Environmental Quality Act; and approved the Operations and Maintenance Agreement with the San Bernardino County (erroneously referred to as San Bernardino California) Transportation Authority for the City's maintenance and security obligations at the Downtown Station.

The Solid Waste Division implemented the collection of commercial organic food waste in 2016 and implemented a residential organic waste drop-off pilot program in 2021. To be in full compliance with state regulations, the City must adopt an enforceable ordinance to ensure full compliance with organics diversion requirements by residential and commercial waste generators; implement a program to recover organics from single-family residents and recover food from multi -family locations; and implement a program for contamination monitoring and develop an "implementation record" to ensure all activities are documented. Assistant City Manager Boatman responded to Council Members' questions and added the proposed ordinance does not change anything currently in the Municipal Code and would provide a framework for the future. CC_SA_October 4, 2022 Page 10 On motion of Council Member Jenna Guzman -Lowery, seconded by Council Member Denise Davis, the City Council introduced, by roll call vote, Ordinance No. 2945, adding Chapter 13.67 to the Redlands Municipal Code relating to the establishment of regulations governing organic waste disposal; and determined that approval of the ordinance is exempt from environmental review pursuant to Section 15308 of the State's guidelines implementing the California Environmental Quality Act. Vote: 4 - 0 Passed Downtown Market Plan Assistant City Manager Boatman detailed the implementation plan for the Downtown Market as recommended by the City Council subcommittee. Based on the survey results, staff provided a recommendation to the Parks and Recreation Committee on May 12, 2022, that included bringing the Market back on Saturday mornings from 8 a.m. to noon during the spring, summer and fall seasons. The Market would include new policies and guidelines to include higher quality merchandise and local products as suggested in the returned surveys. This option would also help alleviate conflicts between the merchants and downtown business parking during busy evening hours. Costs for staff resources would be reduced relative to previous operations and impacts to parking would be minimal. Furthermore, the demand for police officers to patrol the market would not be immediately necessary for this option, as the current Saturday Farmer's Market has not demonstrated a need for this service. As public comment, Evan Sanford, representing the Redlands Chamber of Commerce, supported the expansion of the Saturday Morning Farmer's Market. Council Members provided their thoughts and perspectives and discussed at length the merits of offering the market on Saturday morning versus bringing back the program on Thursday night. Council Member Guzman -Lowery described the importance of providing the community with family -friendly activities in the downtown area and she supported maintaining the Thursday night program, but suggested the City consider offering both a night market and a morning market. Chief Catren reiterated he does not have the police resources to cover a night market. On motion of Council Member Jenna Guzman -Lowery, seconded by Council Member Denise Davis, the City Council determined, by roll call vote, that approval of the Plan is categorically exempt from environmental review pursuant to Section 15311(c) of the State's guidelines implementing the California Environmental Quality Act; and directed staff to implement the Downtown Market Plan as recommended by the City Council subcommittee. Vote: 4 - 0 Passed Platform and Parking Lot Security Agreement Assistant City Manager Boatman presented an agreement with Patrol Solutions, LLC., for the provision of platform and parking lot security for the Redlands Passenger Rail Downtown and University Stations in an amount not -to -exceed $410,000 for the initial term of one year, with the option to extend by one additional one-year term for a total amount not -to -exceed $820,000. The project will be fully funded by SBCTA for two years. The City and SBCTA have agreed the City will provide a security guard at both stations, beginning 15 minutes prior to the arrival of the first train until 15 minutes after the last scheduled train departs; approximately 18-19 hours daily. SBCTA is responsible for reimbursing the City for costs associated with maintenance and security for the initial two-year period. After the initial period, the City and SBCTA will reassess CC_SA_October 4, 2022 Page 11 the need for full-time onsite security. On motion of Council Member Jenna Guzman -Lowery, seconded by Council Member Denise Davis, the City Council unanimously approved, by roll call vote, the agreement with Patrol Solutions, LLC., for the provision of platform and parking lot onsite security services for the Redlands Passenger Rail Downtown and University Stations in an amount not -to -exceed $410,000 for the initial term of one year, with the option to extend by one additional one-year term for a total amount not -to -exceed $820,000; and approved additional appropriations of $160,000 in both revenue and expenses in FY 2022-23, and FY 2023-2024.
