community a wonderful holiday season. The Mayor thanked Multimedia Production
Coordinator, Kam Kalanui, for his production work.
PUBLIC COMMENT
Mall - Dennis Bell found it interesting that the mall property has changed owners again. He
hoped the new plans would prove to be more successful than previous developers. He still
thought the City had missed an opportunity to purchase the mall for use as the police station.
Cypress Avenue Stop Sign - Bruce Laycook encouraged the Council to take action and move
forward with the installation of a 4-way stop sign at Cypress Avenue and Alvarado. He said
there was even more urgency now because of the new traffic signal slated for Cypress and
Cajon.

finalizing the City Council agendas and who determines which items are placed under the
Consent section.

Accept Kaiser Permanente Substance Abuse Prevention Outreach Grant
On motion of Mayor Pro Tempore Marc Shaw, seconded by Council Member Eddie Tejeda,
the City Council unanimously accepted, by roll call vote, the Redlands Substance Abuse
Prevention Outreach Grant through Kaiser Permanente of Southern California in the amount of
$15,000; approved an additional appropriation in the amount of $15,000 in the Governmental
Grants fund; and approved one part-time Outreach Coordinator position with the Homeless

Vote: 5 - 0 Passed
Final Map Approval for Tract No. 20755
Development Services Director Desatnik provided an overview of the Final Map for Tract No.
20755. On April 8, 2025, the Planning Commission approved Tentative Tract Map No. 20755
which proposed the subdivision of approximately 3.12 acres for mixed-use development
purposes at the northeast corner of Eureka Street and Stuart Avenue. The subdivider has
satisfied all conditions of approval of the tentative map. Staff and the City's contracted land
surveyor have reviewed the final map and determined that it substantially conforms to the
approved tentative map. The subdivision improvement agreement (to be recorded with the
final map) and associated financial security (based on the construction cost estimated by the
project engineer), ensure that off-site improvements will be installed during project
development. As public comment, Steve Rogers insisted that the City's processing of the Final
Map was in violation of the California Subdivision Map Act, and he recommended the
Council deny approval. City Attorney Garcia clarified that approval of the Tentative Tract
Map by the Planning Commission and approval of the Final Map for Tract No. 20755 by the
City Council complies with code and is perfectly legal.
On motion of Council Member Eddie Tejeda, seconded by Council Member Paul Barich, the
City Council unanimously determined, by roll call vote, that approval of the final map for Tract
No. 20755 is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to
CEQA Guidelines section 15268(b)(3); and approved the final map for Tract No. 20755, for
mixed-use development purposes at the northeast corner of Eureka Street and Stuart Avenue.
Vote: 5 - 0 Passed
First Amendment Developing Standard ADU Design Plans
Development Services Director Desatnik offered highlights of a Professional Services
Agreement, originally approved in June 2025, with RRM Design Group for the preparation of
standard construction design plans for Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs). The First
Amendment will provide staff additional time to work with the consultant and prepare the
draft architectural design plans, as well as refine and finalize the architectural plans over the
next few months. This will extend the timeline beyond the original expiration date of
December 31, 2025, and staff is requesting an extension of six months to June 30, 2026. As
public comment, Steve Rogers thought this was a waste of money and a one-size-fits-all
approach with standard plans may not be feasible as each ADU project is unique and has
distinct site conditions.

State's guidelines implementing the California Environmental Quality Act; and approved the
First Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with RRM Design Group, extending

2003-1 pursuant to Local Agency Special Tax and Bond Accountability Act (SB 165).

New Year's Eve Orange Drop Event In-Kind Support
Facilities and Community Services Director Crocker introduced the request for use of city
resources and in-kind support in the amount of $35,368.22 related to the New Year's Eve
Orange Drop event hosted by the Redlands Chamber of Commerce on December 31, 2025. As
public comment, Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Evan Sanford thanked the City
for their partnership and support of this event. The Chamber intends to provide a free
family-friendly event featuring live music, vendors, performers, food, and a kids’ zone that
will include jumpers, face painters and other children’s activities. The evening’s
entertainment, including performances and a live DJ, will culminate in the signature Orange
Drop at 9:00 p.m. The event aims to bring the community together and also attract visitors
from across the East Valley and Inland Empire, providing exposure and business opportunities
for local merchants and vendors.
On motion of Council Member Eddie Tejeda, seconded by Council Member Denise Davis, the
City Council unanimously determined, by roll call vote, that the approval of the event is exempt
from environmental review pursuant to Section 15311(c) of the State's guidelines implementing

Facilities and Community Services Director Crocker introduced a request in the amount of
$5,860.83 for the street closure related to the Redlands Bowl Christmas Under the Stars event
hosted by the Redlands Bowl Performing Arts on December 12, 2025. As public comment,
Dennis Bell questioned why the in-kind request for this one single event appeared
disproportionately high compared to the request made for several events held throughout the
summer at the Redlands Bowl Summer Music Festival.
On motion of Council Member Eddie Tejeda, seconded by Council Member Paul Barich, the
City Council unanimously determined, by roll call vote, that the approval of the event is
exempt from environmental review pursuant to Section 15311(c) of the State's guidelines
implementing the California Environmental Quality Act; authorized and approved the
expenditure of City resources and in-kind support in the amount of $5,860.83; and authorized

NEW BUSINESS
Ordinance No. 2995 Various City Commissions and Boards
Assistant City Manager McConnell explained that Ordinance No. 2995 and Resolution No.
8742 were prepared as a result of the recommendations made by the Ad Hoc Committee of
Mayor Pro Tem Shaw and Council Member Barich. Ordinance No. 2995 amends Chapters
2.18, 2.32, 2.38, 2.48, 2.50, 2.64, and 2.66 of the Redlands Municipal Code to establish
quarterly meetings, and reduce the memberships of, the City of Redlands Airport Advisory
Board, Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission, Municipal Utilities/Public Works
Commission, Traffic and Parking Commission, Cultural Arts Commission, Citrus
Preservation Commission and Human Relations Commission.
Resolution No. 8742 establishes a quarterly meeting schedule for the Airport Advisory Board,
the Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission, the Municipal Utilities/Public Works
Commission, the Street Tree Commission, the Traffic and Parking Commission, the Cultural
Arts Commission, the Citrus Preservation Commission and the Human Relations Commission.
As public comment, Steve Rogers was opposed to reducing the number of commission
members, as this would limit public input and participation. Chamber of Commerce Executive
Director Evan Sanford supported the move to limit commission members to five, but was
opposed to reducing meeting frequency. Commissions play a vital role, and he was concerned
this action could create bottlenecks and delay critical safety projects. Bruce Laycook argued
that opportunities for civic engagement were already limited, and reducing the number of
commissioners would only further restrict their ability to participate. He added this could
possibly discourage engagement and lead to less diversity amongst commissions. Andy Hoder
was concerned that less frequent meetings might result in lengthy agendas that become
difficult to manage effectively within the allotted meeting time.
Council Members discussed and considered a variety of topics including term
CC_December 2, 2025
Page 6
limits, parameters for calling special meetings when needed, staggering terms as a way
to retain experience and knowledge, and the commitment to evaluate the effectiveness of
these changes in a year. As a part of the Ad Hoc Committee, Mayor Pro Tem Shaw said the
goal was to try to balance efficiency while maintaining public engagement and being
respectful of people's time. Council Member Barich added that as part of the fact-finding
mission, they reached out for input from every commission chair and considered past
commissioners as well. It was agreed to revisit this item in a year and reevaluate the
effectiveness of the changes.
On motion of Mayor Pro Tempore Marc Shaw, seconded by Council Member Paul Barich, the
City Council unanimously introduced, by roll call vote, Ordinance No. 2995,
amending Chapters 2.18, 2.32, 2.38, 2.48, 2.50, 2.64, and 2.66 of the Redland's Municipal Code
to establish quarterly meetings and reduce the memberships of the City of Redlands Airport
Advisory Board, Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission, Municipal Utilities/Public
Works Commission, Traffic and Parking Commission, Cultural Arts Commission, Citrus
Preservation Commission and Human Relations Commission; and approved Resolution No.
8742, as amended, establishing a quarterly meeting schedule for the Airport Advisory Board,

Fire Department Purchase of Replacement Brush Engine and Water Tender
Fire Chief Sessler detailed the need for an authorization to release $31,773 from the Fire
Equipment Fund Reserve for the purchase of a replacement Brush Engine from South Coast
Fire Equipment and the Water Tender from Fire Apparatus Solutions for a total amount of
$1,331,773. There is a critical need to replace one Brush Engine and one Water Tender. These
apparatuses are essential for wildland and structure fire suppression, as well as for various
emergency responses throughout the city and surrounding areas. The Brush Engine is
designed for off-road capability and rapid response to vegetation fires, while the Water Tender
provides a vital water supply in areas without hydrants or with limited water infrastructure.
Both units have exceeded their recommended service life due to age and heavy use. Replacing
them will ensure the department continues to provide reliable, safe, and efficient fire
suppression and emergency response services.
On motion of Council Member Eddie Tejeda, seconded by Mayor Pro Tempore Marc Shaw,
the City Council unanimously authorized, by roll call vote, the release of $31,773 from the
Fund Reserve for Fire Equipment for the purchase of a replacement Brush Engine and Water
Tender; approved an additional appropriation of the same amount of $31,773; approved the
purchase of the replacement Brush Engine from South Coast Fire Equipment and the Water
Tender from Fire Apparatus Solutions for a total amount of $1,331,773; and authorized the City
Manager, or designee, to execute the necessary purchase agreements in accordance with City
purchasing guidelines.

Resolution No. 8743 Interim Municipal Utilities and Engineering Director Appointment
Assistant City Manager McConnell explained that City Manager Duggan recommended
approval of Resolution No. 8743, appointing Ray Casey as the Interim Municipal Utilities and
Engineering (MUED) Director — Government Code Section 21221(h), through April 15, 2026,
or upon the hiring of the permanent replacement, whichever occurs sooner. The MUED
Director position will be vacant as of December 9, 2025. In order to maintain day-to-day
operations of the department and provide essential services to the public, staff is recommending
the hiring of Ray Casey, a CalPERS Retired Annuitant. Mr. Casey possesses the specialized
skills and experience needed to perform in this interim capacity. Government Code Section
21221(h) permits retired annuitants under the California Public Employees' Retirement System
(CalPERS) to be employed without reinstatement from retirement upon appointment by a public
agency to fill a vacant position on an interim basis during the recruitment to permanently fill the
vacant position. No other benefits, incentives, compensation in lieu of benefits, or any other
forms of compensation in addition to the hourly rate can be provided to the retired annuitant.
City Attorney Garcia pointed out a minor change must be made to Resolution No. 8743,
identifying that the governing body authorized the search for a permanent appointment on
December 2, 2025, not December 1, 2025. As public comment, Steve Rogers was pleased to see
that Ray Casey would take on the interim MUED Director duties. Andy Hoder thanked
Director Harris for his intelligent and thoughtful leadership and wished him well in his new
endeavors. The Council Members concurred and offered their own appreciation of Director
Harris's professionalism.
On motion of Mayor Pro Tempore Marc Shaw, seconded by Council Member Eddie Tejeda,
the City Council unanimously appointed, by roll call vote, Resolution No. 8743, as amended,
