Staff Report TO: Mayor, and City Council Members FROM: Jeff Mohlenkamp, Finance Director DATE April 6, 2021 SUBJECT: Ratification of Emergency Repair Costs to the City’s Wastewater System Background and Analysis: This report seeks City Council ratification for costs incurred due to emergency repairs to the City’s wastewater system undertaken in January and February 2021, at a total cost of $39,382.60. Project funds allocated to the Wastewater Treatment Plant Expansion and Renovation CIP project were applied to these repair expenses. This repair resulted in an upgrade to the existing system and, therefore, the project funds were appropriately applied. In January 2021, City staff discovered a partially collapsed sewer line located in the alleyway west of Wellwood Avenue and north of B Street. The City contracted with T.E. Roberts, Inc., to evaluate the pipe damage and make needed repairs. Repairs included the replacement of 160 feet of sewer pipe and stabilization to prevent future failures. These repairs were completed on an emergency basis due to the nature of the damage and the need to rectify the problem in a timely manner. Fiscal Impact: The cost of these emergency repairs was $39,382.60. A summary of repairs and a listing of costs is included as Attachment A.

Staff Report TO: Mayor, and City Council Members FROM: Jeff Hart, Director of Public Works DATE April 6, 2021 SUBJECT: Second Reading of an Ordinance Amending Beaumont Municipal Code Chapter 12.08 to Establish City Specific Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition, and Adopt East Valley Water District’s Wet Weather Flow Criteria Background and Analysis: Chapter 12.08 of the Beaumont Municipal Code addresses Public Works Construction Standards. More specifically, Beaumont Municipal Code Section 12.08.010 formally adopts the Eastern Municipal Water District’s (EMWD) standards for sanitary sewer facilities. City staff is recommending two modifications to this chapter; first is a modification from EWMD’s Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system, and the second is the addition of wet weather design flow criteria utilizing factors established in the East Valley Water District’s (EVWD) master plan. As part of the City’s Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) project awarded by City Council in April of 2020, SKM Engineering evaluated ten of the City’s lift station and provided recommendations to upgrade the PLC systems and communications. This evaluation provided recommendations for a uniform SCADA system between the City’s lift stations and the newly constructed wastewater treatment plant. Among several minor technical deviations from EMWD’s SCADA standard, City staff is also recommending a more robust communication system which will consist of both cellular and radio communication for redundancy and reliability. Many of the City’s lift station facilities have limited capacity and time is of the essence during any unplanned shutdowns or power outages. As part of the Sewer System Master Plan project (Master Plan), 14 flow meters were placed throughout the City’s collection system in order determine sanitary sewer flows at various locations, as well as to assess the amount of infiltration into the system from either rainfall or elevated groundwater. The determination of peak wet weather flow allows the City to pursue a more conservative design criteria for future development, as 127 Item 6. well as more accurately establish rehabilitation and replacement criteria for existing infrastructure. EMWD’s design criteria does not utilize wet weather flow due to challenges in obtaining pertinent rainfall in Southern California’s arid climate. In order to combat this lack of data, EMWD utilizes a more conservative allowable depth of flow in their pipe sizing criteria. Since the City was able to collect data during several significant rain events , City staff feels it is beneficial to the health of the collection system to utilize wet weather flow as one of its design criteria. EVWD has a similar climate and has established wet weather flow criteria that are consistent the City’s environment. Utilizing EVWD’s wet weather flow design criteria allows the City to ensure that both the existing and future collection system is adequately sized. Fiscal Impact: The cost to prepare this staff report is estimated to be $250. Recommended Action: Waive the full second reading and adopt by title only, “An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Beaumont Amending Section 12.08.010 of the Beaumont Municipal Code Concerning SCADA Design and Wet Weather Flow Calculation for Public Sewer Systems Within the City.” Attachments: A. Ordinance 128 Item 6.

Staff Report TO: Mayor, and City Council Members FROM: Jeff Hart, Public Works Director DATE April 6, 2021 SUBJECT: Approve Lien Release for RSI Communities California LLC, for Tract Map Nos. 27971-4, 27971-6, and 27971-8; Located within the Olivewood Specific Plan Background and Analysis: The City requires all developers to provide security for public improvements consisting of, but not limited to, street improvements, sewer improvements, storm drain improvements, and survey monument improvements. On December 16, 2016, the City entered into lien contracts with RSI Communities Heartland (RSI) for Tract Map Nos. 27971-4, 27971-6, and 27971-8 (Tracts). Pursuant to the lien contract and Government Code Section 66499(a)(4), a lien was attached to the properties in an amount necessary to secure and discharge all obligations contained in the respective lien contracts. Per Government Code Section 66499, “the local agency may at any time release all or any portion of the property subject to any lien or security interest created by this subdivision or subordinate the lien or security interest to other liens or encumbrances if it determines that security for performance is sufficiently secured by a lien on other property or that the release or subordination of the lien will not jeopardize the completion of agreed upon improvements.” Therefore, subject to Government Code Section 66499, RSI is requesting the release of the liens associated with the Tracts. RSI has provided alternative security in the form of bonds and Subdivision Improvement Agreements for each of the improvements with the respective Tracts. The bonds and agreements were accepted by Council on October 20, 2020. Table 1 provides a summary of the provided bonds. 133 Item 7.

Staff Report TO: City Council FROM: Kari Mendoza, Administrative Services Director DATE April 6, 2021 SUBJECT: Contract Amendment with Tyler Technologies Background and Analysis: In December 2020, the City expanded its use of the Tyler Technologies (Tyler) Incode 10 system to include the payroll/human resources module and the fixed assets module. The addition of the payroll/human resources module will provide for full integration of payroll activities into the core financials and provide more seamless budgeting options for payroll related activities. Further, the addition of a human resources module will allow for improved abilities to track employee evaluations, training and to better centralize employee related data. As implementation began, City staff determined a need to explore alternate scheduling software to allow for seamless integration. Currently, there is a large amount of department staff time spent manually collecting individual time sheet data and transferring that data into the payroll system. The Tyler scheduling module allows for an electronic transfer of data into the payroll system which will save approximately 6 hours of staff time on a bi-weekly basis. This time and attendance module also allows for advanced scheduling for the City’s existing 24 hour, 7 day a week operations. City staff is also requesting the addition of a benefits enrollment module. This will automate the open enrollment and new hire benefits process. It allows for simplified self-service, enhanced visibility, and creates a paperless process that reduces errors. Fiscal Impact: The initial one-time cost to implement these modules is $20,270. This includes the cost of the modules and Tyler staff time to support the implementation. The ongoing annual cost will be $24,219. The annual maintenance costs will remain at this level until 2023, which is the term of the existing contract. 161 Item 10. The original contract amendment of $31,270 was being offset by savings from the elimination of the current third-party payroll solution of approximately $70,000 annually. The elimination of the current scheduling solution and timeclocks will result in an additional $18,000 in annual savings. The original electronic time clock interface quoted with Tyler can also be eliminated for an addition $1,060 a year. Recommended Action: Approve the attached contract amendment with Tyler Technologies, including the one-time implementation costs of $20,800 and ongoing annual maintenance costs of $24,219, and Approve the contract amendment removing the Payroll – Electronic Time Clock Interface at a cost of $1,061 annual fee.

Staff Report TO: City Council FROM: Jeff Mohlenkamp, Finance Director DATE April 6, 2021 SUBJECT: FY2021 Proposed Refunding Bonds Related to Improvement Areas 7B, 7C, 17A, 19C and 20 of Community Facilities District No. 93-1 Background and Analysis: In 1993, the City of Beaumont (“City”) formed Community Facilities District No. 93-1 (“District’) and established 13 original improvement areas. Over the years, the City has established additional improvement areas (“IAs”) in the District, including 7B, 7C, 17A, 19C, and 20, for which bonds were subsequently issued to finance public improvements. The City continues to be proactive in monitoring outstanding bonds for refunding candidates and given the low interest rate environment, there is currently an opportunity to refinance the outstanding bonds associated with the aforementioned improvement areas to generate savings for property owners. Improvement Areas 7B and 7C In May 2012, the Beaumont Financing Authority (“BFA”) issued the 2012 Local Agency Revenue Bonds, Series C (“2012C Bonds”) in the par amount of $3,655,000 to finance improvements in IA 7B and IA 7C, both of which are located in the Four Seasons master planned community. Currently, there is $3,320,000 of par outstanding of the 2012C Bonds. The 2012C Bonds were structured with a final term of 2039 and a final interest rate of 5.250%. The call date of the 2012C Bonds is September 1, 2022. Improvement Area 17A In April 2013, the BFA issued the 2013 Local Agency Revenue Bonds, Series B (“2013B Bonds”) in the par amount of $10,875,000 to finance improvements in IA 17A, which is located in the Tournament Hills master planned community. Currently, there is $8,410,000 of par outstanding. The 2013B Bonds were structured with a final term of 2034 and a final interest rate of 5.000%. The call date of the 2013B Bonds is September 1, 2023. 175 Item 11. Improvement Area 19C In January 2013, the BFA issued the 2013 Local Agency Revenue Bonds, Series A (“2013A Bonds”) in the par amount of $8,810,000 to finance improvements in IA 19C, which is located in the Fairway Canyon master planned community. Currently, there is $5,480,000 of par outstanding. The 2013A Bonds were structured with a final term of 2036 and a final interest rate of 5.000%. The call date of the 2013A Bonds is September 1, 2023. Improvement Area 20 In April 2012, the BFA issued the 2012 Local Agency Revenue Bonds, Series B (“2012B Bonds”) in the par amount of $3,265,000 to finance improvements in IA 20, which is located in the neighborhood Aspen Creek. Currently, there is $2,870,000 of par outstanding. The 2012B Bonds were structured with a final term of 2035 and a final interest rate of 5.950%. The call date of the 2012B Bonds is September 1, 2022. Outstanding Bonds Issue Area Parcels Date Par Value Outstanding Final Term Final Rate Optional Call Ratings 2012B Bonds IA-20 106 Apr 2012 $2,870,000 2035 5.950% Sept 1, 2022 Non- Rated 2012C Bonds IA-7B 237 May 2012 $1,740,000 2039 5.250% Sept 1, 2022 IA-7C 318 $1,580,000 2039 5.250% Sept 1, 2022 2013A Bonds IA-19C 668 Jan 2013 $5,480,000 2036 5.000% Sept 1, 2023 2013B Bonds IA-17A 485 Apr 2013 $8,410,000 2034 5.000% Sept 1, 2023 TOTALS 1,814 $20,080,000 Given the high interest rate environment at the time of issuing the improvement area 7B, 7C, 17A, 19C, and 20 bonds (all together, the “Outstanding Bonds”) there is an opportunity to refinance the Outstanding Bonds today at a much lower interest rate to generate savings for property owners. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Act”) eliminated the tax exemption for interest on advance refunding bonds (refunding bonds issued more than 90 days before the optional call date), therefore, the proposed bonds contemplate refinancing the Outstanding Bonds on a taxable basis. Refinancing the Outstanding Bonds today on a taxable basis does not preclude the City from refinancing on a tax-exempt basis in the future. Given the favorable taxable interest rate environment (30 -year US Treasury rate 176 Item 11. of 2.37%, as of Friday, March 26, 2021), many issuers have pursued taxable advance refundings since 2017. Given the opportunity to strengthen the underlying credit of the refunding bonds and achieve economies of scale, the refunding contemplates an issuance through the Beaumont Public Improvement Authority (“BPIA”). This structure is similar to the one utilized by the City in August 2020, for the Local Agency Refunding Bonds, Series 2020A, which ended up saving individual homeowners roughly $10.0 million over a 22 - year period. The proposed BPIA Local Agency Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 2021A (Federally Taxable) (“2021 Refunding Bonds”) would be in a par amount of approximately $18.9 million with a final maturity in 2039. However, each underlying obligation would maintain the same final maturity for each of the improvement areas under consideration. In other words, there will be no extension of the original terms. The final interest rate structure will be determined if, and when, the 2021 Refunding Bonds are priced and sold. Assuming City Council approves moving forward, the pricing date is estimated to be sometime in May, assuming interest rates meet the City’s savings threshold, as further described below. While the Outstanding Bonds are not currently rated, the 2021 Refundi ng Bonds may qualify for an investment grade rating and bond insurance, which would lead to a lower cost of borrowing (and potentially more savings to property owners). Furthermore, the 2021 Refunding Bonds may also qualify for a reserve fund surety policy. With a reserve fund surety policy, the 2021 Refunding Bonds would not need to cash fund a debt service reserve (estimated to be $1.9 million) as part of the issuance. This would enable the City to downsize the 2021 Refunding Bonds, lower annual payments, and increase savings to property owners. Based on taxable interest rates as of March 26, 2021, total estimated savings over the life of the 2021 Refunding Bonds is $4.4 million, assuming the City were to maintain the current escalating debt structure (see ‘Consideration: Evaluate Removing the Escalating Debt Structure’ below). Net present value (NPV) savings is $1.3 million, or 6.6% as measured against par value refunded. To put estimated NPV percent savings into context, GFOA (Government Finance Officers Association) Best Practices frequently mentions between 3-5% NPV savings to determine the appropriateness of a refinancing. City staff requests that Council provide direction on an NPV savings threshold. 177 Item 11. The interest rate savings combined with the reduction of the bond size would produce aggregate annual cash flow savings that would range between $55,000 and $310,000 over the next 18 years (2022-2039). Estimated savings are net of all financing costs (including the cost of procuring insurance and a reserve fund surety policy). The table below highlights detailed savings based upon current interest rates and assuming the City maintains the existing debt structure for each improvement area.

Maintaining the escalating debt structure will result in level annual savings while removing the escalating debt structure will level out annual payments by homeowners over time. A detailed presentation by the City’s financing team will accom pany this staff report and provide more information on the structures and their impact on annual savings. City staff requests that City Council provide direction on maintaining or removing the escalating debt structures for IA 7C, IA 19C, and IA 20. Please note that City Council has the option to remove the escalating structure in one area (e.g., IA 20) and maintain such structure in the other areas (e.g., IA 7C and IA 19C). 178 Item 11. Fiscal Impact: There is no cost to the City to approve moving forward. As noted above, if approved this evening, City staff will work with the financing team on all the necessary legal documents to return to City Council and the Beaumont Public Improvement Authority for approval of the issuance of refunding bonds and all associated legal documents at a later date (likely in May). At that time, City staff will also provide an update on estimated homeowner savings, based on current market conditions. City staff estimates that it cost approximately $2,750 to prepare this report. Recommended Action: City staff is seeking guidance from the City Council on the following options. Moving forward with refinancing the Outstanding Bonds, Establishing an NVP savings threshold (e.g. 5%) whether on each individual improvement area or in aggregate, and Removing the escalating debt structure in improvement areas 7C, 19C , and 20. 179 Item 11. Staff Report TO: City Council FROM: Ashley Starr, Public Information Officer DATE April 6, 2021 SUBJECT: City Branding/Identity Initiative Update and Proposal for Phase 2 to Include Design of Spanish Theme Tiles and Brand Creative Brief Background and Analysis: On August 21, 2018, a professional services contract was awarded to CV Strategies for the completion of a branding/identity initiative. The project ’s scope of work included development of a brand identity, assessment of current logo, lifestyle logo and graphic elements, development of graphic standards, messaging and collateral material. In March 2019, CV Strategies completed the logo assessment with color and font alterations as well as developed the City tagline “A City Elevated.” Additionally, evaluations of stakeholder perceptions were provided along with recommendations for graphic standards and collateral material. City staff has accepted the deliverables provided and has issued final payment to CV Strategies for Phase 1 of the branding/identity initiative. Phase 2 of the initiative includes the remaining deliverable s of development of a lifestyle logo and graphic elements. The successful implementation of these significant items will produce an identity that resonates with Beaumont residents, key stakeholders, and business partners. The identity will also provide framework for City signage and development design standards in the General Plan and Downtown Specific Plan. City staff has developed a vision to complete the outstanding deliverables. By using stakeholder feedback obtained from the General Plan and Phase 1 of the Branding/Identity Initiative, a series of four (4) tiles depicting nature, community, location and family will be developed. The tiles, in a Spanish influence design, will come together to depict a core image of heritage. By conveying Beaumont’s unique attributes in tile form, a set of elements is created for use in a variety of formats including collateral materials, infrastructure design, monumentation and promotional items. 180 Item 12. A formal quote has been obtained from JPW Communications to perform the design of the tile elements and create supporting brand copy to explain the purpose and application of the tile concept(s).

Staff Report TO: City Council FROM: Kari Mendoza, Administrative Services Director DATE April 6, 2021 SUBJECT: Approval of Compensation Plan and Salary Table Background and Analysis: The attached compensation plan has been adjusted to account for all 2021 minimum wage requirements, salary increases negotiated in current labor agreements between Police Managers as Individuals and Managers/Professional/Technical as Individuals and the City of Beaumont. These groups received a 2.5% increase across the board pursuant to the current memorandums of understanding. The Planning Department has requested a title change of the Senior Planner position to Planning Manager. There is no salary adjustment necessary for this title change which more appropriately represents the level of work being provided by this position. The Public Works Department has had a vacant Public Works Manager position since October 2020. Public Works has a need for more engineering support and has requested the redesignation of this position as an Assistant Director of Public Works/Engineer. Depending on the personnel qualifications of the candidate this increase is projected to cost approximately $5,800 for the remainder of this fiscal year and $28,000 in the next fiscal year. The Transit Department has requested a title change for the Transit Operations Supervisor to Transit Operations Manager. This position currently oversees daily transit operations as well as managing fleet services. There is a projected $1,050 increase for the remainder of this fiscal year and $5,000 in the next fiscal year. Fiscal Impact: All negotiated salary increases were adopted in FY 20/21 budge t and the two increases totaling $9,000 can be sustained through salary saving in the current fiscal year. 198 Item 13.

Staff Report TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Sean Thuilliez, Chief of Police DATE April 6, 2021 SUBJECT: Patrol Canine Proposal Background and Analysis: The Beaumont Police Department (BPD) implemented a detection canine program in 2016, which has proven to be a vital asset, both locally and regionally. The BPD still relies upon the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department and the California Highway Patrol for supplemental patrol canine services. These services include suspect apprehension, suspect tracking, and article tracking. While both organizations have been willing to assist the BPD in critical incidents, they are not always readily available due to the large demand for them by their respective agencies as well as other outside agencies within the county. Often their canines are unavailable to the BPD for a variety of reasons like being engaged with other priority calls, and/or they are not able to arrive on scene in a timely basis. BPD’s expansion of its canine program to add a patrol canine service allows the opportunity to effectively increase a tried and trusted means to expand non-lethal options when actively engaging suspects. This proposal would be to utilize a patrol/detection canine in the following four major categories: Suspect Apprehension The use of a trained canine has proven to be a valuable resource to law enforcement. When properly used, a canine greatly increases the degree of safety to citizens within a contained search area, enhances individual officer safety, significantly increases the likelihood of suspect apprehension, and dramatically reduces t he time necessary to conduct a search. Proper utilization of a canine search also reduces the need to resort to deadly force. Suspect Tracking Canines can aid in the tracking of suspects who have fled from a fresh crime scene or fled from a vehicle or location. In rural and urban areas, officers are often required to 204 Item 14. track suspects through dense brush or in heavily populated areas. A swift apprehension benefits the safety of local residents as well as the suspects. Narcotic Detection I-10, SR60, and SR79 intersect in the City of Beaumont which brings a significant amount of vehicular traffic into the area. I-10 is often used as a drug trafficking corridor as it extends from California to Florida. A narcotics detection canine is an asset to patrol officers who suspect that a person or vehicle may be transporting narcotics. The canine can reduce officer time and quickly locate narcotics that can lead to an increase of arrests and convictions. Community Involvement A police canine fundraising program offers the community a means to be active partners in the program and the BPD. The canine itself is a positive tool for community policing as it draws attention and helps to build positive relationships between the police department and the community. How the Canine Does its Job Canines have long been utilized by military, search and rescue organizations, law enforcement and similar agencies because of their ability to do what humans cannot. Due to its extremely keen sense of smell, a canine can search a large area much faster and with higher accuracy than a team of officers without a canine. In addition, a canine can be cross trained to detect and alert on certain odors, such as narcotics or explosives. Patrol canines are trained to use a “bite and hold” technique. They hold onto a suspect until the officer can safely effect an arrest. These unique abilities provide an option to add a valuable, non-lethal asset to law enforcement agencies. Policy/Risk Management The BPD has implemented a canine/canine handler policy that outlines the procedures for a canine program. This policy gives the framework for selection, training, and deployment of a patrol canine. A patrol canine and its handling officer is considered a canine team. Each canine team must complete a training course in accordance with the strict guidelines set forth by the Commission on Peace Officers Standard and Training (POST) before deployment. The primary responsibility of the canine team is to search, locate, and assist in the apprehension of serious criminal offenders. Typically, a canine team is deployed to search a building or an area where a felony suspect may be hiding. 205 Item 14. Additional Benefits There are many reasons why the community would benefit from this program. One of which is that the assigned officer will be from the BPD with a vested interest in this community. Additionally, the canine would be available to support neighboring agencies and surrounding communities as part of an on-going collaborative approach to policing and mutual aid obligations. Fiscal Impact: The start-up costs for a patrol canine program is approximately $31,159.60. This includes the cost of the canine, training, conversion of a 2018 Chevy Tahoe, and miscellaneous tools and supplies. Re-occurring annual costs are approximately $6,500 for the treatment and care of the dog and approximately $4,000 in annual payroll expenses for the officer/handler. BPD estimates a cost of $6,101.02 to fully equipment an existing 2018 Chevrolet Tahoe to accommodate a patrol canine animal. Once deployed as a patrol canine unit, the Tahoe would need to be replaced with a standard patrol vehicle. BPD proposes to purchase a 2021 Ford Police Interceptor as a replacement at an estimated cost of $57,556.51. The total cost to implement this proposed patrol canine is estimated to be $88,716.11. One-time set up costs would be funded through the use of restricted funds such as public safety CFD revenues. Ongoing, reoccurring costs would be incorporated in the BPD annual budgets. The total cost to purchase and train the canine, purchase, and outfit one vehicle, convert and outfit another vehicle, will be approximately $88,716.11. Recommended Action: Authorize staff to purchase and train a police canine in an amount not to exceed $32,000.00; Authorize staff to convert an existing fleet vehicle, a 2018 Chevy Tahoe, to a canine vehicle in the amount not to exceed $6,500; Authorize staff to purchase a new vehicle to replace the converted Tahoe with a 2021 Ford Police Interceptor in an amount not to exceed $37,000 from National Auto Fleet Group; Authorize staff to purchase the emergency equipment in the amount not to exceed $12,500 from 10-8 Retrofit for a 2021 Ford Police Interceptor; Authorize staff to purchase the police graphics for a 2021 Ford Interceptor in the 206 Item 14. amount not to exceed $600 from Cop Car Graphics; and Authorize staff to purchase and install a mobile data computer in the new Ford Interceptor in an amount not to exceed $8,300.

Staff Report TO: City Council FROM: Todd Parton, City Manager DATE April 6, 2021 SUBJECT: Authorization to Submit Request for Federal Funding for Construction of the Pennsylvania Widening Project (CIP Project No. 2017-09) and the Potrero Interchange PH 2 Project (CIP Project No. 2017-023) -201 Background and Analysis: US Representative Dr. Raul Ruiz has provided opportunities for communities within his district to submit funding requests/proposals for community projects and for surface transportation projects. Cities may make one submittal for each type of project. The funding opportunity for a community project is made available through the “Build America Better” program and project awards will range from $1 million to $1.5 million for projects that will be completed by the end of 2022. Each city may only submit a s ingle proposal for this class of project. Due to the limited project timeframe and the limited dollar amount, City staff proposes that the City Council direct City staff to submit a funding request for the Pennsylvania Widening Project (CIP Project No. 2017-09). CIP Project No. 2017-09 allocates a total of $4,018,000 for the design and construction to expand Pennsylvania Avenue from two to four lanes from Sixth Street to First Street. Design is underway and should be completed during the 2021 calendar year. Approximately $3.2 million of the allocated dollars are for construction. It is recommended that the City request the maximum amount of $1.5 million for partial funding. Upon a successful award, the CIP would be amended, and the previously allocated dollars would then be applied to another City transportation project. The funding opportunity for a surface transportation project might be available through President Biden’s draft “American Jobs Plan.” City staff understands that, if approved, this plan might provide funding ranging from $15 million to $20 million for individual projects. There is no guarantee that this plan will pass or that local submissions will be funded. However, City staff feels it is prudent to submit a project proposal to 229 Item 15. Representative Ruiz’s office at this time to ensure that Beaumont’s priority project is understood and considered as this bill is debated. It is recommended that the City Council designate the Potrero Interchange PH 2 Project (CIP Project No. 2017-0123) as its surface transportation item. It is anticipated that the City’s submission would request $18 million to $20 million, based on the actual City dollars available to this project at the time of submission. Approximately $7 million of the $27 million of required construction dollars are already designated for this project. Design plans and right-of-way acquisition were fully funded by the City of Beaumont and area landowners, therefore, allowing the entirety of the federal allocation to be used for construction. Potrero Interchange PH 2 consists the construction of access ramps to provide improved access and safety at the SR-60 overpass. Plans have been completed and are awaiting final comment and approval by Cal Trans. Provided that Cal Trans approval is secured in the near future, City staff anticipates that this project would be ready for bidding and the start of construction within the next 12 months. The image below shows the proposed ramp improvements. City staff has been in touch with the City staffs of Banning and Calimesa, who are each developing independent funding requests. It is recommended that the City Council authorize the Mayor to submit letters of support for Banning’s and Calimesa’s priority projects. Each project funded along the IH-10 corridor benefits the area as a whole. Fiscal Impact: City staff estimates that it cost approximately $3,425 to prepare this report. 230 Item 15. Recommended Action: City staff recommends the following: That the City Council authorize the submission of the Pennsylvania Widening Project (CIP Project No. 2017-09) as its priority community project with a funding of $1.5 million, That the City Council authorize City staff to submit the Potrero Interchange PH 2 Project (CIP Project No. 2017-023) as its priority surface transportation project with a funding request of up to $20 million, and That Mayor Lara be authorized to submit letters of support for Banning and Calimesa priority projects. 231 Item 15.

Staff Report TO: City Council FROM: Todd Parton, City Manager DATE April 6, 2021 SUBJECT: Review of Local Emergency Declaration Established via the Adoption of City of Beaumont Resolution No. 2020-07 Adopted on March 17, 2020 Background and Analysis: On March 17, 2020, the City Council passed and approved Resolution No. 2020-07 (“Resolution”) which authorized the City Manager to execute a declaration of the existence of a local emergency in the City of Beaumont. Approval of the Resolution was in response to the declaration by the World Health Organization (WHO) of the COVID – 19 pandemic, Governor Gavin Newsom’s declaration of a state of emergency for all California, and the increase of infections within the City of Beaumont and the immediate area. The emergency declaration must be reviewed every 60 days in order to determine whether conditions exist for its continuance. This emergency declaration was reviewed by the City Council on February 2, 2021, and was not modified. The City Council’s adoption of Resolution No. 2020 -07 established the existing emergency declaration and empowered the City Manager to: 1. Make and issue rules and regulations on matters reasonably related to the protection of life and property as affected by such emergency; 2. Obtain vital supplies, equipment and such other properties found lacking and needed for the protection of life and property, and to bind the City for the fair value thereof; 3. Require emergency services of any City officer or employee, and, in the event of the proclamation of a state of emergency in Riverside County, to command the aid of as many citizens of Beaumont as is deemed necessary by the City Manager for the execution of the City Manager’s duties; such persons shall be 237 Item 17. entitled to all privileges, benefits and immunities as are provided by state law for registered disaster service workers; 4. Requisition necessary personnel or material to any City department or agency; and 5. Execute all ordinary duties and powers of the City Manager as well as special powers conferred by the Beaumont Municipal Code, by resolution or emergency plan adopted by the City Council, and all other powers conferred by the City Council and any other lawful authority. As of the time that this memorandum was prepared, there had been no significant cessation of the conditions that originally warranted the adoption of Resolution No. 2020-07. The COVID – 19 pandemic originally declared by the WHO was still in place, Governor Newsom’s emergency declaration remained in effect, and new cases of infection were still being diagnosed within Beaumont’s immediate area. Should Beaumont’s emergency declaration remain in effect, it will be brought back to the City Council for consideration no later than June 1, 2021. Should the City Council desire that a local emergency declaration is no longer required, an amending resolution will be presented for City Council consideration at the next regular City Council meeting of April 20, 2021, or earlier at a special meeting convened by the City Council for that purpose. Fiscal Impact: There are no costs resulting from the continuation of a local state of emergency. City staff estimates that preparation of this report cost to be approximately $75. Recommended Action: City staff recommends that there be no change regarding the local emergency declaration. This is due to the fact that there have been no significant changes in the original conditions, a State emergency declaration remains in effect and local emergency declaration helps to ensure that Beaumont remains eligible for federal and state emergency aid.

Gipson▪ AB 986 ▪ Page 1 Updated: 3/19/2021 Assembly California Legislature Mike A. Gipson Democratic Caucus Chair Assemblymember, Sixty-Fourth District AB 986 – Diversity Film Tax Credit (Introduced) PURPOSE Assembly Bill (AB) 986 seeks to create a statewide tax credit specific to the independent film industry to promote diversity. BACKGROUND Across the U.S., state legislatures and film offices offer a variety of film tax credits and film tax incentive programs to entice productions to film in their state. Georgia, New Mexico and even Canada have become new hotspots for the film industry due to favorable tax incentives. In California, the economic output of the film industry totals roughly $50 billion annually that is approximately 2 percent of the state’s $2.5 trillion economy. The California Film & Television Tax Credit Program 3.0 provides tax credits for qualified productions that are filmed in California. The program allocates $330 million of tax credits each fiscal year. Unfortunately, tax credits over the last several years did not include smaller, independent production companies. The funding of the current independent film category is 8% or $26.4 million. Independent films must have a $1 million minimum budget, but current credits apply only to the first $10 million of qualified expenditures. This new tax credit will ensure that smaller and often more diverse independent film production companies have the opportunity and are given their fair-share of incentives. This will help them grow and bring more jobs to underrepresented and marginalized groups in the industry, ensuring California has tools to be competitive with other states’ expanding film footprints and help incentivize that sector of the industry to stay in California. EXISTING LAW Current law provides credits, for the production of a qualified motion picture in California, that is in its 2nd or subsequent years of receiving a tax credit allocation, in an aggregate amount not to exceed 5% of the qualified expenditures of that motion picture relating to original photography outside of the Los Angeles zone, as defined. It also provides additional credits, for the production of those same qualified motion pictures in an amount equal to 10% of qualified wages paid for services performed relating to original photography outside of the Los Angeles zone to qualified individuals who reside in the state but outside the Los Angeles zone. Existing law authorizes a qualified taxpayer to sell any of the film credits attributable to an independent film. California Revenue and Taxation Code (RTC), §§ 17053.98. SUMMARY This bill seeks to create a $200 million ongoing tax credit to establish a new statewide diversity tax credit for independent film companies and increase the qualified expenditure from $10 million to $30 million.

ORGANIZATION ADDRESS DATE Hon. Assembly Member Sharon Quirk-Silva, Chair Assembly Committee on Arts, Entertainment, Sports, Tourism, & Internet Media 1020 N Street, Room 152 Sacramento, California 95814 RE: Support for AB 986 (Gipson) Personal income tax and corporation tax: Equitable Opportunities Film Credit. Dear Chair Sharon Quirk-Silva: On behalf of the (INSERT ORGANIZATION and a sentence/summary of what the organization does) I write in support of Assembly Member Mike Gipson’s Assembly Bill 986, which seeks to create a statewide tax credit specific to the independent film industry to promote diversity. While the current existing tax credit program provides supports keeping the California film industry within the state, over the last several years, smaller and independent production companies have been unable to participate in these incentives due to the program’s funding design. This bill would help smaller, and often, diverse independent film production companies to access their fair-share of incentives. By providing an equitable playbook for smaller businesses, this bill would pave way for increased jobs to underrepresented and marginalized groups in the industry, and also ensure that California’s diverse voices, storytelling, and arts have the ability to compete with other states while thriving. The Grandave Studios in Banning would be able to qualify for these credits once a new statewide diversity program for independent film companies are established by this AB 986. By supporting minority-owned creative companies through their new studios at Banning, the Grandave studios seek to amplify diverse perspectives in a time when the film industry is striving to highlight social equity and ethnic representation, while also focusing on reinvesting to the City of Banning. Despite being a historically underserved and disadvantaged community, Banning’s hardworking neighborhoods have been resilient and are committed to supporting the arts, entertainment, and tourism in a post-pandemic world. We welcome your partnership and respectfully ask your support in passing AB 986 in your committee.
