Mayor Tejeda announced that comments could be presented in -person, via Zoom, via cell

Escalating Cost Projections - Charlie Cutler remarked on the escalating costs associated
with renovations at the future City Hall on State Street and the new Public Safety facility
at the former K-Mart location. He recognized the need for a new police station but said
that initial cost projections announced to the public were exceedingly lower than the
current estimates. He thought the new project costs were way too high, and he suggested
the City be more open about the rising costs, so as not to lose the public's trust.
South Mountain Water Shares - David Armstrong thanked the City Manager and Director
Harris for attending an event at Prospect Park, hosted by concerned citizens for water
conservation. He reiterated his objections to the City's sale of the South Mountain Water
shares, and he urged the Council to postpone the decision to raise water rates, scheduled

which he said stands above all and represents freedom for all. Council Member Davis
pointed out she had seen earlier in the day a residence where both a Juneteenth flag and a
Pride flag were flying.

Ordinance No. 2966 Undergrounding Utilities
Development Services Director Desatnik responded to Chamber of Commerce Executive
Director Evan Sanford and the questions he posed during the June 4, 2024 City Council
meeting related to the introduction of Ordinance No. 2966 to modify the criteria regarding
undergrounding utilities. He offered explanations pertaining to the establishment of criteria
and setting exemption thresholds and why some projects will be exempt and others not. He
provided examples and pointed out that smaller projects would be exempt because, if not, they
would be impacted disproportionately. He addressed the current reserves available in the
in -lieu fee account and discussed a project slated for a stretch of Cypress Avenue.
As public comment, Michael Paisner pointed out the City's General Plan encourages all
projects to underground utilities and saw this proposed ordinance as being in conflict with the
Plan. Council Member Guzman -Lowery appreciated Director Desatnik's thorough responses,
but voiced her concerns that it seemed to her that undergrounding poles was emphasized
within the south side of town at the expense of the north side.

COMMUNICATIONS
Affordable Housing
Development Services Director Desatnik explained that on January 31, 2024, in a special
meeting of the City Council, eight project/program priorities were identified, with tonight's
report focusing on the priority of Affordable Housing. He stated that providing affordable
housing has become more challenging in recent years as housing prices continue to rise
disproportionately to incomes. He provided some background information on affordable
housing in Redlands, reviewed basic concepts of affordable housing, and offered ways that
the City can promote affordable housing development. His presentation included the
following topics: 1) Definition of affordable housing 2) Housing Element — Regional
Housing Needs targets 3) Existing affordable housing in Redlands 4) Financial and
regulatory Incentives for the production of affordable housing and 5) Projects in the
pipeline.
As public comment, Tristessa Richard of Yes in my Backyard (YIMBY), was excited the
City had prioritized the need for affordable housing, and she asked the Council to continue
considering policies that would move forward any affordable housing developments. Bruce
Laycook, Board Member of Human Good Affordable Housing, expressed his sincere
appreciation of the City's efforts to push this matter to the forefront, and he suggested the
Council engage the community and encourage the public to participate in the process.
Bobby Garrity, of YIMBY, pointed out the City was in a housing shortage and in
particular, a shortage of affordable housing, and he urged the Council to push for policy
reforms that do not inhibit development, by allowing for increased density and relaxed
parking restrictions.
Council Members raised questions about Section 8 housing, and SB 4, the Affordable
Housing on Faith Lands Act, which provides a streamlined process for religious
organizations and nonprofit colleges to develop affordable housing on their property. They
thanked Director Desatnik and staff for the thorough and informative presentation.
