Commissioner and Members of the Hindu Community, declaring the month of October 2024 as
Hindu Heritage Month in the City of Redlands.
PUBLICCOMMENT
Open Dialogue - Michael Paisner raised concerns about comments made by Mayor Tejeda at the
last City Council meeting. He stated he had no ill will towards him but urged the Mayor to
distance himself from a coalition that he claimed was a hate group.
City Infrastructure - Dennis Bell said that he thought one of the current candidates running for
City Council was misinformed about why the City's infrastructure had been ignored, and in his
opinion, he said improvements had long been ignored because funding priorities were focused on
cultural and social issues.
Step-Up in Redlands - Rogelio Saldana described his experiences as a resident at Step Up in
Redlands as dreadful, and he said the management company was derelict in their duties in
overseeing the housing complex and should be let go. He complained about the rampant drug
use at the facility.
Street Cleaning & Flight Path - Brian Roche was frustrated that he had never seen a street sweeper
at his house in southeast Redlands, despite the fact that he had paid for the services for many
years. He requested the Council consider voicing their opposition to the current flight path used
by jets flying in and out of San Bernardino International Airport.
Community Concerns of Safety - Amber asked Mayor Tejeda to distance himself from a coalition
that she cited as a hate group, and she recounted incidents of stalking by the group.

CC_October 15, 2024

Municipal Utilities and Engineering Director Harris presented Resolution No. 8632 to establish
time-restricted parking zones on Columbia Street between Colton Avenue and Sun Avenue.
Residents of Columbia Street recently reported that patrons and employees of local businesses
were parking on residential streets for long periods, disrupting street cleaning, trash pick-up, and
access for visitors. They also noted that events hosted by these businesses have increased traffic,
noise, and trash in the area and these activities significantly inconvenience residents. In hopes of
mitigating these issues, several Columbia Street residents requested a 20-minute time-restricted
parking zone and the issuance of residential parking permits along Columbia Street. MUED staff
contacted the Columbia Street businesses to inform them of this request, with the businesses
indicating that a 20-minute parking zone would not provide sufficient time for their customers and
suggested implementing a 2-hour parking zone instead.
After considering the feedback from both parties, the Traffic and Parking Commission (TPC)
proposed a compromise. They noted that a 20-minute time limit might not be realistically
enforceable. The TPC proposed a 1-hour parking time restriction for Columbia Street between the
Alley and Sun Avenue, and a 2-hour parking time restriction for Columbia Street between the
Alley and Colton Avenue. These restrictions would apply during business hours from 6 AM to 8
PM. As public comment, Andy Hoder described the meeting as a lively and intense discussion,
one that ended with a good outcome and a good compromise from everyone who participated.
Council Member Saucedo directed staff to conduct a review of the efficacy of the new regulations
after they had been in place for one year.
On motion of Council Member Mario Saucedo, seconded by Council Member Jenna
Guzman-Lowery, the City Council unanimously determined, by roll call vote, that approval
of Resolution No. 8632 is exempt from environmental review pursuant to Section 15301(c) of the
State's guidelines implementing the California Environmental Quality Act; and adopted Resolution
No. 8632, establishing time-restricted parking zones on Columbia Street between Colton Avenue
and Sun Avenue.

review pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the State’s guidelines implementing the California

Resolution No. 8635 Support of Proposition 4
Council Member Saucedo opened the discussion concerning Resolution No. 8635 in support
of Proposition 4: The Safe Drinking Water, Wildfire Prevention, Drought Preparedness, and Clean
Air Bond Act of 2024. Proposition 4 will appear on the November 2024 Ballot and provides for
$10 billion to comprehensively address the varied climate impacts and challenges facing
California’s current communities and future generations. The investments included in Proposition
4 aim to help communities avoid and recover from the impacts of wildfire, flood, drought, extreme
heat, or other climate-related events, as well as to help restore and protect natural systems
experiencing such impacts. The City of Redlands could be eligible for many of the programs
identified if Proposition 4 passes on the November 2024 ballot, and he encouraged his colleagues
to support the Resolution.
On motion of Council Member Jenna Guzman-Lowery, seconded by Mayor Pro Tempore Paul

ARPA Update and Reprogramming of ARPA Funds
Grants Coordinator Selina Sanchez, provided background concerning the American Rescue Plan
Act (ARPA) and described the current budget standing, listed the fully obligated and expended
programs, and reviewed the success of the resident grocery gift card program. The recap included
the distribution of funds and the request for the Council to consider the reprogramming of ARPA
funds to be obligated by December 31, 2024. Staff requested the reallocation of $1,200,000 from
the approved Pandemic Response ARPA category to the approved Resident Grocery Gift Card
Program to fund an additional 1,000 eligible households with a $100 per month grocery gift card
for a period of 12 months. The details included, 1) Increasing eligible applicants; 2) Round 2
currently has 1,400 applicants with the recommendation to add 1,000 more applicants; 3) Cost:
$1,200,000 to add 1,000.
The expanded program, serving an additional 1,000 households, will provide critical assistance to
residents who are eligible but have been unable to participate due to limited capacity. This
reallocation will significantly improve the quality of life for hundreds of additional households,
aligning with the intended use of ARPA funds. These funds were originally set aside for public
health response efforts, mitigation, and prevention activities, but the City’s ongoing expenses have
been reduced in responding to the pandemic. Each Council Member expressed their full support of
the program and were pleased more families would be served.

NEW BUSINESS
MOU Santa Ana Wash Wildlands Trails
Development Services Director Desatnik summarized a Memorandum of Understanding
Regarding Planning and Funding of the Santa Ana Wash Wildland Trails between the City of
Highland, City of Redlands and the San Bernardino Valley Water Conservation District. The
Wash Plan Habitat Conservation Plan (Wash Plan HCP) is a regional land use concept that permits
and relocates a series of sand and gravel mining lease areas to locations adjacent to existing
mining, and creates a habitat preserve per the requirement of these permits for a number of
regional land use projects, called "Covered Activities." The Wash Plan HCP has received federal
approval and is in the process of obtaining permits from the California Department of Fish and
Wildlife. The San Bernardino Valley Water Conservation District (Conservation District) is
implementing the Wash Plan HCP to allow the development, expansion, and maintenance of
facilities for both municipal and commercial entities within the Wash Plan HCP area, including
those of the City, while providing protected habitat for multiple Federal and State protected
species that are found within the Wash Plan HCP area.
The Trails MOU focuses on wildland trails that fall on Conservation District property, is proposed
with a twenty-year term, and defines the respective parties' roles in permitting and allowing public
access to the wildland trails over time. It designates the Conservation District as the lead agency
for any environmental review or permitting that may be required apart from that already
completed for the Wash Plan HCP, as well as the lead implementing and operating agency for the
wildland trails.
As public comment, Dick Corneille and Dr. Hillary Jenkins, Board Members of the San
Bernardino Valley Water Conservation District, pushed for the Council to approve the MOU,
pointing out it offers 7.3 miles of trails, contains the elements needed to protect endangered
species while also allowing public access. They said it was a win, win, win and represented a
long-term commitment and desire to benefit the entire community. Council Member Saucedo
raised questions about the number and locations of the trails and requested staff prepare a
PowerPoint presentation for a future meeting, to add visual context needed to identify all the trails.
He said it was imperative to preserve the beauty and resiliency of the wash.
On motion of Council Member Mario Saucedo, seconded by Council Member Denise Davis, the
City Council unanimously approved, by roll call vote, and authorized the Mayor to execute the
MOU Regarding Planning and Funding of the Santa Ana Wash Wildland Trails.

Turf Mowing Contractual Services
Facilities and Community Services Director Crocker reviewed an agreement with American
Landscape and Maintenance, Inc. for turf mowing contractual services within City parks
and medians for a term of three years in the amount not-to-exceed $566,624. Parks
division staff perform routine maintenance and oversight of these areas in addition to
utilizing outside contractual services on an as-needed basis. These additional outside
services have proven to be cost-effective and help ensure consistent maintenance, allowing
staff to focus on more specialized tasks within the City's parks and medians.
On motion of Mayor Pro Tempore Paul Barich, seconded by Council Member Jenna
Guzman-Lowery, the City Council unanimously determined, by roll call vote, that approval
of an agreement for turf mowing contractual services within City parks and medians is
exempt from environmental review pursuant to Section 15301(h) of the State's Guidelines
implementing the California Environmental Quality Act; and approved the agreement with
American Landscape and Maintenance, Inc. for turf mowing contractual services within City

First Amendment Agreement with ALS Group USA, Corp
Municipal Utilities and Engineering Director Harris explained the need for a First
Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with ALS Group USA, Corp. to revise
the annual compensation to $109,000, with options to extend for two additional one-year
terms, for a total potential amount not-to-exceed $327,000. The original Agreement
included an initial term of one year, two optional one-year extension terms, and an annual
compensation not-to-exceed $34,000, but included very limited PFAS sampling and
analysis. Since then, the State and EPA have finalized the emerging contaminant
regulations, which now include comprehensive sampling and analysis requirements for
public water systems. In order to comply with this new mandate, it is necessary to amend
the ALS Agreement to significantly increase the PFAS sampling and analysis frequency.
The cost for sampling and analysis required for mandated PFAS monitoring is $750 per
sampling site. The City has a total of twenty-five sampling points, including eighteen sites
mandated by the Federal EPA and seven sites designated for special studies required for the
Water Division's operations. This sampling and analysis will occur every quarter, adding an
additional $75,000 in costs to fulfill this requirement over the next four quarters. The First
Amendment increases the annual Agreement not-to-exceed amount to $109,000, which
increases the total potential Agreement value to $327,000.
On motion of Council Member Jenna Guzman-Lowery, seconded by Council Member
Denise Davis, the City Council unanimously determined, by roll call vote, that approval of a
First Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with ALS Group USA, Corp. is
exempt from environmental review pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the State's guidelines
implementing the California Environmental Quality Act; and approved the First Amendment
to the Professional Services Agreement with ALS Group USA, Corp. to revise the annual
compensation to $109,000, with options to extend for two (2) additional one-year terms, for a

Agreement with CelPlan Technologies Video Management Solution
Information Technology Manager Eric Owens introduced an agreement with CelPlan
Technologies, Inc to provide a new video management solution including wireless network
infrastructure equipment and maintenance services for an initial term of $1,158,006.29,
with an option for four additional extension terms, bringing the total compensation during
the initial term and four extension terms to an amount not-to-exceed $2,131,048.93. The
existing public safety camera system has been in production for over fifteen years. It is a
critical tool that bolsters crime prevention, enhances evidence collection and investigations,
and provides real-time monitoring of public spaces. The system has become increasingly
unreliable due to its unsupported status, which poses significant risks, including potential
security gaps and operational challenges.
Deputy Police Chief Jeremy Floyd provided additional information pointing out the
system’s outdated technology hampers the ability to effectively monitor and respond to
security incidents. The current wireless network does not meet the demands of modern
security solutions, which require high-speed, reliable connectivity. Given the size and
number of cameras throughout the City, this will be a phased project spanning multiple
years.
On motion of Council Member Mario Saucedo, seconded by Council Member Jenna
Guzman-Lowery, the City Council unanimously determined, by roll call vote, that approval
of the Professional Services Agreement with Cel Plan Technologies, Inc is exempt from
environmental review pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the State’s guidelines
implementing the California Environmental Quality Act; and approved the agreement with
CelPlan Technologies, Inc to provide a new video management solution for the City
including wireless network infrastructure equipment and maintenance services for an initial

Enterprise Resource Planning System Agreement
Information Technology Manager Eric Owens offered details of an Agreement with Tyler
Technologies, Inc. for five years, for an amount not to exceed $586,526, for Software
Maintenance and Support of the City's Enterprise Resource Planning System. In 2019, the
City procured a new financial accounting and human resource management system from
Tyler Technologies, Inc. (Tyler). Tyler's Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Software
system includes major functions within finance administration and purchasing as well as
functions within human resources. Since this purchase in 2019, Tyler has provided software
maintenance and support to City staff through the previous software and implementation
services agreement. Payment of the annual invoice ensures access to routine software
updates and technical support. Tyler’s ERP has become an integral part of the everyday
functions of the City of Redlands, and without such support services, the system could be

rendered unusable.
These functions include general ledger accounting, accounts payable, project & grant
accounting, budgeting, purchasing, capital assets, payroll, and human capital management.
The ERP system also includes content/document management, reporting & analytics, and a
financial statement builder.
On motion of Council Member Jenna Guzman-Lowery, seconded by Mayor Pro Tempore
