SUBJECT:Adoption of Resolution in Support for and Declaration of California Clean
Air Day
Background and Analysis:
In California a coalition for clean air has been established to launch a Clean Air Day. Its
intention is to improve community health and develop habits of clean air. This year,
California Clean Air Day will take place on October 2, 2019. The objective of this day will be
to encourage individuals, government agencies, businesses and non-profit organizations to

participation in Clean Air Day by way of a tree planting ceremony. WRCOG has applied for a
micro-grant to supply cities with trees, plaques and planting materials.

There is no fiscal impact at this time.
Recommendation:
1. Approve by title only "A Resolution of the City of Beaumont in Support for and
Declaration of California Clean Air Day", and

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF BEAUMONT
IN SUPPORT FOR AND DECLARATION OF CALIFORNIA CLEAN AIR DAY
WHEREAS, air pollution contributes to higher rates of cancer and heart and lung diseases, which
adversely affect health; and
WHEREAS, California has some of the most polluted regions in the United States; and

disadvantaged communities, as denoted by SB 535; and
WHEREAS, it is vital that we protect the health and well-being of our residents, visitors, and workforce;
and
WHEREAS, emissions from vehicles, industry, and even household sources significantly affect the
natural environment, air quality and well-being of residents, employees, and visitors of the City of
Beaumont; and
WHEREAS, individual actions such as not idling vehicles, walking or biking to work and school,
carpooling, and conserving energy can directly improve air quality in our region; and
WHEREAS, everyone can play a role; and
WHEREAS, education about air quality can raise community awareness, encourage our community to
develop better habits, and improve our community health; and

DATE:September 17, 2019
SUBJECT:Award of Contract to Baker Electric for a Public Electric Vehicle Charging
Station in a Contract Amount Not-to-Exceed $371,800
Background and Analysis:
The State of California has set a goal to have five million electric vehicles on the road in
California by the year 2030. The biggest challenge as identified by the state is the
availability of fast-charging stations. To help increase the availability of fast-charging
stations, California has increased grant opportunities available for this purpose. The City of
Beaumont Transit Services was awarded two separate, reimbursable grants totaling
$271,870.00 for the design and installation of a fast-charge electric vehicle charging
station. The charging station will be located in the Beaumont Civic Center parking lot,
adjacent to the police station on Orange Ave. This location is ideal because it is centrally
located within the downtown area, its close proximity to government buildings, its serviced
by several public transit routes, and because it is the site of an unofficial park and ride
location.
In April 2019, a request for proposal was published to design and install a public electric
vehicle charging station with three chargers. The City received three responses, however,
one respondent failed to submit the required bid documentation and was therefore
disqualified. Staff interviewed the two remaining respondents and ultimately requested
revised bids from both companies. During the interview process, it became clear to staff
that the unknown factor for both respondents was the expectations and potential
requirements of Southern California Edison (SCE). SCE would not speculate on the
upgrades to the current power system that will be needed until a design is submitted for
their review.
The cost proposals received were:
Baker Electric itemized their costs of $310,800 and accounted for $60,000
allowance for SCE upgrades.
The second contractor, Trillium, itemized their costs at $313,987 with no allowance
for SCE upgrades.
Agenda Item No. 4.
Page 57 of 236
The Southern California Incentive Project (SCIP) grant requires a 5-year maintenance
contract for the chargers which is included in the bid cost and will be compliant with the
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), as required by federal law.
Fiscal Impact:
The City of Beaumont was awarded two reimbursable electric vehicle charging station
grants totaling $271,870:
Southern California Incentive Project (SCIP)- $240,000; and,
Mobile Source Air Pollution Reduction Review Committee (MSRC)- $31,870
Additionally, the Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC) has allowed for the
reprogramming of past unspent State Transit Assistance (STA) funded grants and created
project STA 2020-07 in the amount of $100,000, bringing the total grant funds available for
this project equal to $371,870.
It should be noted that revenues generated by the electric vehicle charging station will
contribute to the 10% farebox recovery ratio requirement mandated by the Transportation
Development Act of 1971.
Recommendation:
1. Award a contract to Baker Electric for a public electric vehicle charging station in a
contract amount not-to-exceed $371,800; and,
2. Authorize the Mayor to execute an agreement with Baker Electric in accordance
with the Beaumont Municipal Code purchasing ordinance.

Staff Report
TO: Mayor and City Council Members
FROM:Elizabeth Gibbs, Community Services Director
DATE:September 17, 2019
SUBJECT:Direction to City Staff Regarding the Acceptance of Dedication of
Landscape Easement Without Compensation – Tract Map 32325, Lots 187
through 190, and Lot 193
Background and Analysis:
On November 22, 2005, Tract Map No. 32325 was recorded with the County of Riverside
and specified two tracts, identified as Lots AA and BB, that were created with the intent
that they be owned and maintained for open space, slope and landscape purposes by the
homeowners association (HOA). Lots 187 through 193 were established in such a manner
that they share common lot lines with Lot BB with the common lot line creating the rear lot
line for each parcel. However, the parcels are bisected by a screening wall without access
points provided for the property owners. Attachment A contains photos of the existing
conditions. An easement for slope and landscape purposes was retained by the original
developer. This easement was not defined by the tract map nor transferred to any other
party.
An offer of dedication between the HOA and the City was recorded on October 7, 2010, in
which the HOA offered, and the City accepted, a dedication of real property of Lots AA and
BB (Attachment C). However, the offer of dedication did not address the easements across
lots 187 through 193.
On August 19, 2019, City staff met with several of the owners of lots 187 through 193 to
discuss the overall deterioration of the landscape along Brookside Avenue, directly north of
the fence line of these lots, and within that portion of the lots located outside of the block
wall. A majority of the residents present agreed that a formal means of access should be
granted to the City to facilitate proper maintenance within those portions of the individual
lots located between the block wall and Lot BB, the areas adjacent to Brookside Avenue.
Furthermore, all but two owners, the owners of Lots 191 and 192, have agreed in writing to
dedicate without compensation a “landscape, irrigation, and slope maintenance easement”
with specific authorities granted to the City to enable the appropriate maintenance
operations (Attachment D). Although the owners of Lots 191 and 192 were present at the
meeting on August 19, 2019, they have not submitted a written request to the City, to date.
Agenda Item No. 5.
Page 153 of 236
As shown on the attached map, excluding Lots 191 and 192 from the dedication will leave
the slope with cookie-cutter type landscape maintenance and make it difficult for the City's
staff to determine if maintenance efforts are potentially encroaching on private property
(Attachment E).
Finally, a few of the residents that did submit requests asked that the City agree, in good
faith, that any new tree plantings have a height limit and that language be added to the
maintenance easement. This will prevent trees planted in the future from blocking their
view of the mountain range directly north of the development.
Fiscal Impact:
The fiscal impact equals $2,640 annually in grounds maintenance personnel costs and
approximately $500 annually in equipment costs.
Recommendation:
Authorize City staff to negotiate with the individual property owners for the Acceptance of
Dedication of Landscape Easement Without Compensation – Tract Map 32325, Lots 187
through 193, subject to the following conditions:
1. Easements are dedicated for each of the lots - Lots 187 to 193;
2. New or replacement plant materials will be selected for installation within the
easements that are not expected to grow taller that the block wall at full maturity;
3. Existing trees as of the effective date of the easement will be maintained solely by
the City of Beaumont;
4. City of Beaumont retains the sole right to install new or replace plant materials
subject to item 2 above; and
5. Any plant materials installed by any party other than the City of Beaumont are
subject for removal at the sole discretion of the City without compensation to any
other party.

agreement allocating the $2 million to RCTC for the preparation of a PSR for the project.
The project is located adjacent to and within the jurisdictional boundaries of the cities of
Banning and Beaumont, and may require improvements to streets within each respective
city. The cities of Banning and Beaumont have requested that RCTC be the lead agency for
the preparation of the PSR for the project, and RCTC has agreed to act as the lead agency.
In May 2019, Minegar & Associates, Inc. prepared a traffic impact analysis (TIA) for the
widening of Pennsylvania Avenue between 6th Street and 1st Street in the City of
Beaumont. The project study area included the I-10/Highland Springs Avenue diamond
interchange ramp junctions. Specifically, the study areas included Highland Springs Avenue
at I-10 westbound on/off-ramps (signalized) and Highland Springs Avenue at I-10
eastbound on/off-ramps (signalized). The level of service (LOS) analysis of each study area
intersection covered both the weekday morning (AM) and afternoon/evening (PM) peak
hours. LOS is a qualitative measure that describes operational conditions within a traffic
stream, generally in terms of such factors as speed and travel time, traffic interruptions,
freedom to maneuver, comfort and convenience of safety. LOS conditions range from A
(very good operation) to F (severely congested operation). The table below summarizes
the LOS thresholds:
Agenda Item No. 6.
Page 187 of 236
Recent analysis shows the intersections of I-10 and Highland Springs currently performing
poorly for both the east and west bound ramp intersections. Additionally, further analysis
shows that the ramps will worsen from their current levels to failing as soon as the year
2020.
The Highland Springs Interchange is in need of improvements to operate efficiently and
handle the additional traffic from pending development that is sure to ensue. The PSR will
provide a more detailed analysis of the Highland Springs Interchange Project and allow
movement of the project into the next phase, the project approval and environmental
document (PA&ED).
Fiscal Impact:
WRCOG has allocated $2 million for the preparation of the PSR for the Highland Springs
Avenue Interchange Project. These funds are anticipated to fully cover the estimated cost
of $600,000 for the preparation of the PSR.
Recommendation:
Approve the Cooperative Agreement between Riverside County Transportation
Commission, City of Banning, and City of Beaumont for the Preparation of the Highland
Springs Interchange Project Study Report.

DIRECTOR necessary for EMPLOYEE’S participation in national, statewide, regional or
professional organizations.

To: City of Beaumont
From: Townsend Public Affairs
Date: September 12, 2019
Subject: Legislative Report for the City of Beaumont
State Legislative Update
The Legislature will adjourn and return to their respective districts on September 14. The
Legislature now stands in recess until January 6, 2020.
Below is a list of key upcoming deadlines in the Legislature:
September 13 – Last day for each house to pass bills. Legislature adjourns for the 2019 session.
October 13 – Last day for the Governor to sign or veto bills passed by the Legislature on or before
September 13, 2019.
January 6, 2020 – Legislature reconvenes for the second year of the 2019-2020 Legislative
session.
Use of Force
SB 230 (Caballero) – Police Training
On September 12, 2019, one month after signing AB 392 (Weber), the most sweeping police use
of force legislation in the Country, Governor Newsom signed its companion bill SB 230. Senate
Bill 230 mandates law enforcement agencies to rewrite their use-of-force policies to comply with
legislation passed in August that directs law enforcement to use deadly force only when
“necessary,” based on the totality of circumstances they encounter.
Housing
AB 1482 (Chiu) – Tenancy: Rent Caps
This bill limits housing costs in California by placing a cap on annual rent increases at 7 percent
plus inflation, up to a maximum of 10 percent, for specified housing that is over 10 years old. To
prevent landlords from engaging in rent-gouging by evicting tenants, the bill also requires that a
landlord have and state a just cause, as specified, for any eviction. Landlords with 10 or fewer
rental properties are exempt. The bill sunsets after three years.
AB 1482 was voted out of the Assembly on September 11, 2019. It is now in enrollment.
Agenda Item No. 9.
Page 233 of 236
AB 1483 (Grayson) – Housing Data
This bill would require a city, county, or special district to maintain on its internet website, as
applicable, a current schedule of fees, exactions, and affordability requirements imposed by
thecity, county, or special district, including any dependent special district, applicable to a
proposed housing development project, all zoning ordinances and development standards, and
annual fee reports or annual financial reports.
AB 1483 passed out of both the Senate and the Assembly and in now in enrollment.
AB 1484 (Grayson) – Impact Fees
This bill would require a local agency to demonstrate a nexus between the impact fees that are
being charged to developers and a proposed development project. The intent of the bill is to
address the state’s housing shortage.
AB 1484 is in Senate Rules. There will be stakeholder meetings in the Fall to further
discuss the language of the bill.
SB 330 (Skinner) – Housing Crisis Act of 2019
SB 330 restricts the actions of cities and counties that would reduce the production of housing
until January 1, 2025. This bill requires a city or county to approve a housing development project
that complies with the minimum local general plan, zoning standards, and criteria that were in
effect at the time the application was deemed to be complete. Cities and counties must approve
it on the condition that the project be developed at a lower density, and to base its decision upon
written findings supported by substantial evidence on the record that specified conditions exist
and places the burden of proof on the local agency. The act requires a court to impose a fine on
a local agency under certain circumstances and requires that the fine be at least $10,000 per
housing unit in the housing development project on the date the application was deemed
complete. It would also specify that an application is deemed complete if a preliminary application
was submitted.
SB 330 passed out of both the Senate and the Assembly and in now in enrollment.
SB 592 (Wiener) – Housing Accountability Act
SB 592 was recently gut and amended to become a housing related bill. Similar to SB 330
(Skinner), the bill prohibits a local agency from disapproving or conditioning approval in a way
that deters a housing development project that complies with the local general plan, zoning, and
subdivision standards. This bill would apply to any form of land use decision by a local agency,
including a ministerial or use by right decision.
SB 592 has been referred to the Assembly Rules Committee.
Other Priority Legislation
AB 516 (Chiu) – Authority to Remove Vehicles
AB 516 modifies existing law that authorizes peace officers to tow vehicles that have been left
parked for 72 hours or more. The bill requires officers to first place a notice on the vehicle for a
Agenda Item No. 9.
Page 234 of 236
minimum of 10 days prior to being towed and disallows officers from towing a vehicle that has five
or more unpaid parking tickets.
AB 516 was held in Senate Appropriations and is now a two-year bill.
AB 849 (Bonta) – Elections, Local Redistricting
AB 849 revises and standardizes the criteria and process to be used by counties and cities when
they adjust the boundaries of the electoral districts that are used to elect members of the
jurisdictions' governing bodies. Requires counties and cities to comply with substantial public
hearing and outreach requirements as part of the process for adjusting the boundaries of electoral
districts. Amendments have since reduced the number of required public hearings from six to
four.
AB 849 passed out of both the Senate and the Assembly and in now in enrollment.
AB 1184 (Gloria) – Retention of public records: writing transmitted by electronic mail
AB 1184 requires a public agency to retain and preserve for at least two years every writing
containing information relating to the conduct of the public's business that is prepared, owned, or
used by the public agency and transmitted by electronic mail, unless a statute or regulation
requires a longer retention period. This bill would require public agencies to store innocuous,
mundane, and duplicative information for a minimum of two years, resulting in higher digital
storage needs.
AB 1184 passed out of both the Senate and the Assembly and in now in enrollment.
Federal Legislative Update
Both chambers of Congress returned from their six-week recess on September 9, and
Democrats are eager to tackle issues now center stage in the political sphere. Chief among
issues that are not appropriations-related will be gun control legislation, which remains at the
forefront of political debate nearly a month after the mass shootings in El Paso, Texas, and
Dayton, Ohio. Democrats and some Republicans are using September as the first opportunity
to develop legislative measures to respond to gun violence, particularly legislation to
strengthen background checks and allow law enforcement authorities to confiscate weapons
using state “red flag” laws.
The other priority story this week is the Trump Administration policy regarding e cigarettes (via
the FDA) is expected to be finalized in the coming weeks. Essentially, it’s enforcing rules already
on the books but targeting/prioritizing flavored e-cigs.
By way of background: an FDA rule became effective August 8, 2016 that said that all electronic
nicotine delivery system (ENDS) products (which includes e-cigarettes) were expected to file
premarket tobacco product applications with the FDA within two years (to bring them into similar
compliance with traditional cigarettes). Basically, all ENDS products currently on the market are
not being legally marketed and are now subject to government action.
The compliance policy the FDA is going to finalize in the coming weeks will outline enforcement
policy of this existing rule, in a way that will prioritize flavored over non-flavored e-cigarettes. I
Agenda Item No. 9.
Page 235 of 236
expect there will be additional details of how they will address flavored e-cigarettes should the
manufacturers come into compliance with the August 2016 FDA rule, but they have not made
those public yet. Additionally, there is likely to be some lag between plan announcement and full
implementation from an enforcement perspective (likely another few weeks or months).
Things like flavored blunt wraps and other non-electronic nicotine/tobacco accessories would not
be included in the new Administration actions.
Some of the Administration plans are floated early on to take public temperature or whatnot, but
since this is based on an existing rule, it is expected implementation will occur more quickly than
if they had to implement new policy.
