Real Estate Transfer Agreement Redlands Historical Museum Association & City
Assistant City Manager Boatman provided background on the Real Estate Transfer
CC_June 17, 2025

Assistant City Manager Boatman provided background on the Real Estate Transfer
Agreement between Redlands Historical Museum Association (RHMA) and the City.
RHMA was formed in the late 1990s with a vision for a community museum in Redlands,
and with the City's support, RHMA began to find the most appropriate site. After
evaluating and dismissing several locations, RHMA acquired the property at 700 Brookside
Avenue in 2014, establishing it as the future home of the museum, which was formally
named the Museum of Redlands (MOR).
The City Council adopted Resolution No. 7445, reaffirming the City’s commitment to
accept the museum upon completion and again designating the A.K. Smiley Public Library
Board of Trustees as the future administrators. The Council recognized that the museum
would provide significant public benefit by promoting cultural enrichment, tourism, and
economic development.
Under the terms of the agreement, RHMA will convey the property, including the newly
constructed multipurpose museum building and associated improvements, to the City at no
cost. In return, the City commits to maintaining and operating the property primarily as a
historical museum and community resource for a minimum of 25 years, or until such time
as RHMA ceases to exist as a nonprofit organization. The A.K. Smiley Public Library
Board of Trustees will oversee museum operations, with the City assuming full
responsibility for staffing, maintenance, and utility costs.
The Agreement grants the RHMA specific rights related to ongoing participation in the
Museum's operations, particularly regarding the Museum store and event pavilion. RHMA
is given the option to operate and manage both the Museum store and the adjacent event
pavilion through a mutually agreed-upon licensing agreement with the City. Any revenue
generated by RHMA from these operations is subject to annual audits, which the City may
conduct at its own cost.
The net proceeds from RHMA's operation of the store or pavilion must be used exclusively
to support and enhance the Museum, in collaboration with the A.K. Smiley Public Library
Board. RHMA may also host special fundraising events connected to these facilities, with
the funds directed to the Museum endowment. The City retains the right to audit how such
funds are used to ensure compliance with these purposes. In addition, RHMA is provided a
dedicated office within the Museum and access to a shared conference room, subject to
terms outlined in a future license agreement. However, these licensing rights, specifically
those related to the store and pavilion, are conditional upon RHMA’s repayment of an
outstanding City loan. If RHMA defaults on the loan, and such default is not cured within
the allowed period, the City may terminate RHMA’s licensing rights by providing written
notice.
As public comment, Tim Rocheford, RHMA Vice President, was thrilled to see this day
come to fruition and delighted to be a part of the project, calling the museum a $30 million
"jewel" that would bring significant value to the city. He thanked the City Council, staff,
AK Smiley Public Library staff and Library Board Members. Dennis Bell was not opposed
to the Museum itself, but was opposed to the terms of the agreement. He raised several
questions relating to budgeting, maintenance, and funding sources. He saw the facility as a
potential "money pit". Council Members were grateful for the collaborative efforts of all
involved. Council Member Tejeda stated this was an excellent opportunity for the City to
showcase and celebrate its distinctive cultural heritage.

Property Donation Agreement
Assistant City Manager Boatman reviewed a Property Donation Agreement with Dearborn
Park Trust 3/1/17 for the donation to the City of Assessor’s Parcel No. 0170-302-07-0000.
Dearborn Park Trust 3/1/17 (Trust) is the owner of certain real property located on
Dearborn Street, immediately adjacent to a City facility, comprising approximately eight
thousand (8,000) square feet. The Trust submitted an unsolicited offer of donation to the
City. On January 21, 2025, the City Council approved the acceptance of the property
subject to satisfactory completion of the City's due diligence, which is now complete.
Government Code Section 65402 requires that such an acquisition or sale be submitted to
the Planning Commission for an evaluation as to its conformity with the General Plan. The
proposed donation was submitted to the Commission for evaluation on November 12,
2024, and the Commission found that acceptance of the donation would be in conformance
with the General Plan, General Plan Policies 4-A.41, 7-P.26, and 7-P.27.
On motion of Mayor Pro Tempore Marc Shaw, seconded by Council Member Eddie Tejeda,
the City Council unanimously determined, by roll call vote, that approval of the Property
Donation Agreement with Dearborn Park Trust 3/1/17 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 Property Donation Agreement with the

Preparation of Standard Design ADU Plans Agreement
City Planner/Planning Manager Brian Foote presented the Professional Services
Agreement with RRM Design Group for a total contract amount not-to-exceed $142,990
for the preparation of standard design plans for Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs). ADU
standard plans have become an increasingly popular tool used by local jurisdictions to help
meet their affordable housing goals by reducing homeowners' design costs for the
construction of new ADUs. The architectural styles for ADU plans will include,
Craftsman, California Ranch, Contemporary and Mid-Century modern, with a selection
from 1) Studio; 2) 1 Bedroom; 3) 1 Bedroom + Bath; and 4) 2 Bedroom + 1 Bath.
The ADU RRM standard plans will be pre-plan checked by the City and made
permit-ready, available free of charge to residents of the City of Redlands. The City will
purchase the plans from RRM and offer them as an incentive to promote the construction of
smaller, more affordable ADUs. Council Member questions were raised about the
submittal process and the fees associated with building an ADU.

city. However, the coverage increased to 5,985 acres in fiscal year 2022. This widened the
protection of the wildland areas affected. CAL FIRE provides supplemental fire resources
such as helicopters, aircraft retardant drops, hand-crews, and unified command for wildland
fire incidents.
On motion of Mayor Pro Tempore Marc Shaw, seconded by Council Member Denise Davis,

FY 2025 & 2026 Mid-Biennium Budget Update
Management Services / Finance Director Garcia presented a brief overview of the
Mid-Biennium Budget Update for Fiscal Years 2025 & 2026. The review for Fiscal Years
25/26 continues to show Redlands’ commitment to strategic financial oversight, offering
timely updates to support accountability, transparency, and long-range fiscal health. Since
the adoption of the biennial budget in June 2024, the City has closely monitored revenues
and expenditures, refined its priorities, and addressed operational needs through targeted
adjustments. These include investments in public safety equipment, facilities maintenance,
and structural support for new organizational divisions such as the Homelessness Solutions
and Museum of Redlands.
CC_June 17, 2025
Page 10
She described emerging revenue challenges, particularly related to declining sales tax from
changes in local fulfillment center operations but added the City’s financial outlook
remains stable. Revised projections for FY 2025 reflect stronger-than-expected growth in
property tax and investment income, partially offsetting sales tax losses. FY 2026
projections, while cautious, maintain essential services and capital investments, including
first-year debt service for the new Safety Hall. The budget also continues robust support
for Measure T priorities, with no change to the programmatic spending plan adopted in
2024. Ms. Garcia noted a list of unfunded needs that included projects such as, 1)
Additional improvements to complete Texonia Park renovations; 2) HVAC replacements
for the Annex and Civic Center; 3) Library Cooling Tower Replacement; 4) Sylvan Park
playground equipment replacement; 5) Fire Station 263 Fuel Tank.
Council Members expressed their gratitude to the City Manager and the Finance team for a
thorough and detailed report. It was pointed out that Redlands is in a much better financial
position than many other cities. Council Members raised questions about the unfunded
needs list and the loss of sales tax revenue from changes in local fulfillment center
operations. Council Member Tejeda said he was looking forward to seeing
recommendations for enhancing revenue. Mayor Saucedo offered special thanks to City
Treasurer Doolittle for his expertise and guidance on investment strategies.
As public comment, Dennis Bell thanked staff for putting together this report. He wondered
about the potential loss of state and federal funds, raised questions about the new safety
hall debt service, suggesting this should be a matter for the voters to decide, and he said the
Council should consider shifting their spending priorities to address the City's
infrastructure needs and unfunded projects. Andy Hoder reminded everyone that purchases
made in local stores, rather than through Amazon, would directly benefit the City and
generate sales tax revenue.
On motion of Council Member Eddie Tejeda, seconded by Council Member Paul Barich, the
City Council unanimously approved, by roll call vote, the Mid-Biennium Budget Update for
Fiscal Years 2025 & 2026.
