APPROVE INITIATION OF AIR AND NOISE TECHNICAL STUDIES
FOR THE CEQA REVIEW OF POSSIBLE TRUCK RESTRICTIONS ON
ETIWANDA AVENUE BETWEEN SR-60 AND HOPKINS STREET
Jim Smith, City Engineer, presented the staff report.
Penny Newman suggested that the City should incorporate what has already been
analyzed and take advantage of the fact that a very thorough environmental
analysis has already been done. The AQMD has also done an ongoing monitoring
program on diesel impacts which could also be incorporated into the City’s
analysis.
A motion was made by Council Member Berkson, seconded by Council
Member Lauritzen, to authorize the City Manager to amend the Iteris
Agreement to provide for the air and noise technical study for possible truck
restrictions on Etiwanda Avenue between SR 60 and Hopkins Street in an
amount not to exceed $18,020 in a form acceptable to the City Attorney.

INITIATION OF A ZONING CODE AMENDMENT TO AMEND
SECTION 18.28(A), SECOND UNIT PERMITS
Thomas Merrell, Planning Director, presented the staff report.
Betty Anderson voiced opposition to the proposed ordinance stating that she is
concerned about adding a blanket zoning to the entire city. She suggested that the
Council could grant Lennar Homes a special variance that would allow them to
offer second units in their new homes.
-7-
Stephen Anderson voiced opposition to the proposed ordinance, stating that the
second unit permits should remain isolated for Lennar Homes. He voiced concern
that second units invite renters and transients, change the aesthetics and frequently
take over street parking which impacts the livability of the community.
Geoff Smith representing Lennar Homes stated that multi-generational living is a
big part of Lennar’s customer base. Lennar is meeting this demand by building
what they call a “Next Gen” home. He noted that many cities have embraced this
concept and Lennar is willing to work with city staff to assist in modifying the
City’s zoning code.
Ron Anderson voiced opposition to the proposed ordinance, stating that second
units do not belong on 6,000 square foot lots. He added that the City’s Code
Enforcement staff is already overburdened and would find it difficult to manage
any potential violations.
Kim Jarrell Johnson voiced concern that Lennar Homes did not do their due
diligence prior to building their second unit homes in Jurupa Valley. She advised
that this is a density issue not a zoning issue and it should be dealt with through
the General Plan process. She suggested that the Council could set a percentage
of allowable second units and other standards that would better regulate second
unit permits.
By consensus, the Council elected not to initiate a code amendment for
second unit permits at this time. Staff was directed to bring back a revised
list of standards that would apply to the construction of second dwelling
units.

DISCUSSION OF INCORPORATION CELEBRATION ACTIVITIES
REQUESTED BY COUNCIL MEMBER BRIAN BERKSON (ORAL
REPORT)
Council Member Berkson outlined his reasons for bringing this item forward. He
discussed his desire to organize a community parade on the July 4th weekend that
would provide an opportunity for citizens to show their community pride. He
read aloud a list of civic organizations that could be included in a community
parade that could help celebrate the City’s incorporation.
Ron Anderson advised that the Jurupa Area and Recreation and Park District has
not yet confirmed an agreement with the School District for use of Patriot High
School for the annual Independence Day/Fireworks Celebration.
By consensus, the City Council decided to forgo organizing a parade this
year due to time constraints and begin the process to form a 5th Birthday
Celebration Committee to organize a larger-scale celebration and community
parade in 2016.

COUNCIL MEMBER REPORTS AND COMMENTS
Mayor Pro Tem Roughton reported on her attendance at the ONT Airport Authority
meeting on April 6, 2015. A report from that meeting indicated that the number of car
trips from the Inland Empire to LAX has increased dramatically and will have significant
impacts on SCAG’s Regional Transportation Plan. She reported on her attendance at the
League of California Cities, Riverside Division Executive Committee meeting on April
13, 2015, stating that the Legislative Committee discussed several new bills. The next
Division meeting is May 11, 2015 which will include a tour of the former Annenberg

Council Member Johnston announced that “School Bus Driver Appreciation Day” is
Tuesday, April 21. He announced that the Jurupa Valley Chamber of Commerce will
host “Casino Night” at the Country Village Ballroom tomorrow night at 6:00 p.m. He
provided the following closing quotes: “I know no safe depository of the ultimate powers
of the society but the people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to
exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from
them, but to inform their discretion by education. This is the true corrective of abuses of
constitutional power.” - Thomas Jefferson.

City Manager Gary Thompson presented the staff report. Mr. Thompson explained that
the City Council is being asked to review the Compensation Study prepared by Koff &
Associates. The overall benefits, salaries and City Personnel Manual will be brought
back at a later date with all appropriate implementing ordinances and resolutions.
Georg Krammer, CEO, Koff & Associates presented a brief PowerPoint presentation and
outlined the results of the Total Compensation Study.
5.
PUBLIC APPEARANCE/COMMENTS
Kim Jarrell Johnson voiced concern that the salary survey was not based on the actual
agencies that the city would be using as a possible employee pool and should have
included school and/or special districts. She equated the Assistant to the City Manager
-1-
position with the City Clerk position and questioned why the City Clerk position has a
lower salary range. She discussed the proposed salaries, voicing that a job description
should reflect the job and not the person holding the job. She opposes contracting with
CalPERS and supports the PTO option that would help attract new employees.
6.
COUNCIL MEMBER COMMENTS
Following discussion, Council Member Berkson requested that staff bring back a
comparison of what is currently being paid to the city’s consultants to better analyze the
proposed salary ranges and benefits package.
By consensus, the City Council provided direction to the City Manager to bring
back a benchmark comparison for formalizing salary, benefits and retirement
systems for future City employees which will be brought back at a later date.

BACKGROUND
Per Section 6.7 (A) of Ordinance No. 460 (Subdivision Regulations), a notice of the
decision of the Planning Commission for the action on Tentative Tract Map No. 36827
shall be filed with the City Council. This notification will trigger the beginning of a 10day appeal period.

adopted Resolution No. 2015-4-22-01 approving Tentative Tract Map (TTM) No. 36827
and Variance No. 1501 subject to the Conditions of Approval, and adopted the Mitigated

TTM No. 36827 proposes to subdivide a 3.35-acre parcel into 13 single-family
residential lots with a public street labeled “Lot A” and a water quality basin labeled “Lot
B.” Individual parcels will contain a minimum 7,200 square feet with average lot widths
of 60 feet and average lot depths of 100 feet. One parcel, Lot 13 is proposed with less

The Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC) Ordinance No. 02-001
(Transportation Expenditure Plan and Retail Transaction and Use Tax Ordinance), as
enacted pursuant to Division 25 of the Public Utilities Code, specifies that local cities
and the county must submit annually a 5-year Measure “A” CIP to receive Measure “A”

SUBJECT:
AGENDA ITEM NO. 16.B
CONSIDERATION OF A LETTER TO SUPERVISOR JOHN
TAVAGLIONE CONCERNING SHERIFF SERVICE CONTRACT COST
INCREASES
______________________________________________________________________
RECOMMENDATION
1) That the City Council consider the letter to Supervisor John Tavaglione
concerning Sheriff service contract cost increases, and authorize the Mayor to
sign the letter for transmittal.
BACKGROUND
The City has been contracting with the Riverside County Sheriff Department for police
services since incorporation. The services provided have been excellent and the
expertise and responsiveness of the patrol and supervisory staff at the Jurupa Valley
Station have been outstanding. However, the City, along with all other cities in the
County that contract with the Sheriff, have been saddled with annual cost increases,
with no increase in service level, that have become unsustainable.
ANALYSIS
Since the City incorporated in 2011, police services provided by the Sheriff’s
Department have been subject to annual increases in deputy patrol hour rates, and
other administrative support functions. For the current Fiscal Year, FY 14/15, the
increase that will be submitted to the Board of Supervisors in the near future is
approximately 7%, retroactive to the beginning of the Fiscal Year. Additionally, the
contract cities have been advised to expect an additional 7% for FY 15/16. This equates
to an overall cost increase of 14% over two years, with no increase in service levels.
Over the last several months, the City Managers of the cities that contract with the
Sheriff’s Department have been engaged in discussions concerning this unsustainable
cost trend. The City Manager group, of which our City has been a participant, has had
meetings with senior staff at the Sheriff’s Department and with senior County Human
Page | 1
Resources Department personnel, concerning these increases. The two most significant
drivers of these annual cost increases are related to labor agreements negotiated by the
County and the various bargaining units, and more recently, the costs associated with
the new countywide public safety communication system.
The contract cities have no control over these decisions made at the County level, and
to date have had little to no input into the process so the County can understand the
impacts that these decisions have on their contract partners. As these increases occur,
and are passed on to the cities to absorb, the cities are now all facing tough decisions
regarding service levels in police services and other service areas in order to balance
budgets since revenue growth is not keeping pace with these levels of cost increases.
As a result of these meetings, the City Managers have proposed recommendations to
the County which would allow greater collaboration, and a better forum for the contract
cities to address these cost increases. At the most recent meeting of the City Managers,
it was decided that it would be an appropriate time for the City Councils and Mayors of
each of the contract cities to engage their respective Supervisors in these discussions,
as it is up to the Supervisors to approve the final rate increases. To that end, the
attached letter, similar to letters that the other contract cities are sending, outlines the
concerns raised by the City Managers, and recommendations for consideration by the
Board of Supervisors regarding greater collaboration between the County and the
contract cities with regard to the rate process.
Staff recommends that the City Council consider the letter to Supervisor John
Tavaglione concerning Sheriff service contract cost increases, and authorize the Mayor
to sign the letter for transmittal.
OTHER INFORMATION
None.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
As noted above, the City, and all other contract cities in the County, are absorbing 14%
increases in Sheriff service contract costs over a two year period- FY 14/15 (retroactive
to the beginning of the Fiscal Year), and FY 15/16 (current projected increase for next
Fiscal Year). For the City, this amounts to over $1,000,000 in cost increase per year,
with no increase in service levels.
ALTERNATIVES
1. Elect not to send the letter at this time.

Honorable John Tavaglione
2nd District Supervisor
4080 Lemon Street, 5th Floor
Riverside, CA 92501
Subject: Unsustainable Increases in the Sheriff Services Contract Rate
Dear Supervisor Tavaglione,
The City of Jurupa Valley has been a customer of the County of Riverside for police services
provided by the Sheriff’s Department since 2011. Contract cities are an important partner with
the County, with contract partners paying $169 million for patrol costs versus the net county cost
for patrol of $77 million per the FY 2014/15 County budget. The police service that the City has
received as a partner for contracting of these services has been excellent. However, the costs
for these services continue to increase at a rate which is, quite frankly, unsustainable.
Since our City’s incorporation, the cost for police service has significantly outpaced the City’s
available revenues. As we have seen in several California communities, when cost growth far
exceeds revenue growth, a public agency is quickly heading toward insolvency. Since 2011,
City revenue growth has been slow but steady. However, with the staggering loss of Vehicle
License Fee Revenue diverted to the counties in the state by the state legislature and the
Governor, the problem of sustainability of these service cost increases with limited revenue
growth is exacerbated, in particular, for our city. Our city is experiencing revenue growth of
approximately 3.75% per year in its primary tax revenues.
In addition, the cost of living percent change remains near zero for 2015 and has been well
under 2% for an extended period of time. Yet, the contract rate for FY 2014/15 increased 7.04%
almost double the rate of our City’s revenue growth, and more than triple the increases in the
region’s Consumer Price Index. And the projection for FY 15/16 has been identified by the
Sheriff Department to be another approximate 7% increase. That is a staggering 14% increase
over two years with no change in service levels. It is unconscionable to expect any contract city
to be forced to absorb such significant increases when the revenue growth and CPI increases
clearly reflect trends that does not support such increases.
The City of Jurupa Valley implores the Board of Supervisors to consider your contract cities’
revenue trends and the very small CPI increases, when managing the factors affecting the
contract rate.

costs (salaries and benefits) of direct patrol staff account for more than 80% of the Contract
Police Rate, we ask that cost control be considered during labor negotiations. City managers
from contract cities have met several times with the Sheriff’s executive staff to discuss and
cooperate on cost control. It’s now up to us, as elected policy makers to join forces in service to
local residents.
Our City, in conjunction with the other contract cities in the County, is also requesting a change
in the process of developing the Police Contract Rate. The cities would like an opportunity to
review the rate determination and make comments and provide input before it is published as a
final rate. An area of particular concern is the amount of County support costs being allocated to
the Contract Police Rate. County costs have been pushed to the Contract Police Rate in excess
of revenue growth and inflation, while cities are struggling to recover from the recession. The
following increases over the prior year are of great concern:
Technical Services
36% Increase
Administration
22% Increase
Personnel Recruiting 18% Increase (increased 50% the previous year)
Information Services 15% Increase
Contract and Grants 15% Increase
Considering our City’s 3.75% rate of revenue growth, increases in the range of 15- 36% are
obviously untenable. The City requests that the contract cities be included in the determination
of administrative and support costs allocated to the Patrol Service budget to ensure they are
reasonable and appropriate. Recent actions indicate that costs are being allocated to Patrol
Service where 70% of the cost is paid by contract customers (primarily cities) beyond
reasonable cost growth rates.
We are also very interested in reducing and controlling costs for the County’s Public Safety
Enterprise Communication System (PSEC). The contract cities were given no choice and had
no input to the design, construction and implementation of this radio system. Yet the contract
cities are paying a large share of the annual operating cost of this system through the Contract
Police Rate. As a contract city, we request to be involved in the determination of how the costs
are allocated, since the cost far exceeds the previous 800 Mhz system that was very adequate
for this function.
The contract cities propose to work with the County through quarterly meetings with Finance
Directors of the contract cities and separately with the City Managers. The Finance focus would
provide a forum to review areas of the contract rate subject to fluctuation and provide insight as
to how the County is managing these costs and early warning for increases that may
occasionally exceed the norm. Exceeding a normal rate of cost growth should not be the norm,
as it has been for the past five years. The City Managers meeting would provide a forum for

partner city executives to share ideas and concerns with the Sheriff’s executive team. Providing
a forum to discuss large changes, such as the PSEC radio system and how it will be managed
would be appropriate. The City Managers would remain available to assist the Sheriff’s
Department regarding legislation that may be helpful or damaging. Significant synergy can
occur through regular meetings addressing substantive issues.
Our community greatly values the Police Service provided by the County. We look forward to
your positive reception of our very reasonable requests. We would like to meet with you in the
near future to discuss the significant issue of Contract Police Rate costs control and how we can
successfully achieve this goal together on behalf of our mutual constituents.
Sincerely,

AGENDA ITEM NO. 16.C
REQUEST FROM JURUPA VALLEY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE FOR
SUB-LEASING OFFICE SPACE AT CITY HALL
______________________________________________________________________
RECOMMENDATION
1)
That the City Council consider the Letter of Interest from the Jurupa Valley
Chamber of Commerce requesting sub-leasing of City Hall office space, and
provide direction to staff for development of a sub-lease policy.
BACKGROUND
When the new City Hall facility was renovated, one additional vacant office space was
established for potentially being made available for use by an undetermined outside
organization that provides direct service benefits to the City residents and businesses
as a whole. This office area is located down the very short hallway to the left of the main
entrance to the building, outside of the inner security door office areas. The City has
recently received an inquiry from the Jurupa Valley Chamber of Commerce (JVCC)
expressing an interest in sub-leasing this office space.
ANALYSIS
In order to enter into discussions with any organization desiring to sub-lease the
available office space at City Hall, certain parameters and policies need to be discussed
and established. Additionally, certain legal requirements and public benefit findings
need to be met in order to offer the use of public property to any private organization,
including non-profit organizations. Currently, the City has no policy regarding subleasing of office space within City Hall, therefore a discussion needs to be held
concerning what considerations staff should utilize for development of a policy and
future discussions with potential sub-lessees, in this case, the JVCC.
Considerations should be given to the type of sub-lease agreement to be developed,
what services such as utilities, internet or phone service should be included, if any, and
what services, furniture and other equipment the potential lessee will provide at their

WESTERN RIVERSIDE COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS (WRCOG)
ANNUAL MEETING
______________________________________________________________________
RECOMMENDATION
1) That the City Council authorize reimbursable expenditures deemed appropriate for
City Council members attending the WRCOG Annual Meeting
BACKGROUND
The 24th Annual WRCOG General Assembly & Leadership Address will be held on June
11, 2015 at the Morongo Casino Resort & Spa. The Keynote Speaker will be former
Texas Governor Rick Perry. The following day, June 12, 2015, WRCOG will hold an
Executive Committee meeting at the hotel. Additionally, as part of the General
Assembly business meeting on June 11, 2015, the WRCOG membership will be voting
on the FY 2015/16 budget, and electing the Chair, Vice Chair and 2 nd Vice Chair for the
coming year.
ANALYSIS
The City has been granted a table for 10 attendees at no cost to the City for
participation in the General Assembly Address and business meeting the night of June
11th. Additionally, the current City representative to the WRCOG Executive Committee
is entitled to a one night stay at the hotel the night of June 11 th at no cost to the City, in
order to attend the Executive Committee meeting the following morning. The City’s
representative is Mayor Pro Tem Roughton. These costs are being paid by WRCOG.
However, as the General Assembly meeting will probably run late into the evening,
other City Council attendees may want to stay overnight at the hotel and potentially
attend the Executive Committee meeting.
In accordance with the City’s expenditure reimbursement policy, any travel related
expenditures for attending this type of meeting requires prior approval by the City
Council. This travel related expenditure is an authorized type of travel under the policy.

SUBJECT:
AGENDA ITEM NO. 16.E
INITIATION OF A ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT TO ADD A
PROVISION AUTHORIZING THE PLANNING DIRECTOR TO REFER
CERTAIN DISCRETIONARY ENTITLEMENTS TO THE PLANNING
COMMISSION
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council initiate an amendment to the City of Jurupa Valley Zoning
Ordinance that authorizes the Planning Director to refer certain discretionary
entitlements to the Planning Commission.
BACKGROUND
Under the Zoning Ordinance, certain discretionary entitlements are delegated to the
Planning Director. Projects requiring a Site Development Permit (SDP) are approved by
the Planning Director or his designee. Site Development Permits that require
environmental review require the Director to conduct a public hearing before taking
action; those that are exempt under CEQA are approved by the Director or his designee
without a hearing.
Approval of Site Development Permits for large residential accessory structures and
new wireless cellular antennas generally do not require a hearing, but require a twenty
day notice to the surrounding property owners. The ordinance requires the Director to
conduct a hearing for such SDPs if a hearing is requested by any resident.
The Director also has jurisdiction to approve Tentative Parcel Maps for residential
development. Such maps cannot create more than four lots. Most of these applications
have been in the Mira Loma and Riverdale areas.
In the case of an SDP or residential Parcel Map that must also include a concurrent
entitlement requiring Planning Commission or City Council approval, the entire group of
entitlements will go the Commission or Council. Only stand-alone SDPs or residential
Parcel Maps are decided by the Planning Director.

All other discretionary approvals are made by the Planning Commission or the City
Council. The following is a general summary of discretionary entitlements and the
approving body:

Zoning Ordinance Amendment
PROPOSED AMENDMENT
From time to time the Planning Director recognizes that an entitlement under his
jurisdiction carries with it a policy implication or is the subject of concern for the public
interest expressed by the City Council. Further, it may be evident that a controversy is
inherent in an entitlement application that will undoubtedly result in an appeal. In such
cases, it may be appropriate for the Director to refer the entitlement to the Planning
Commission. However, the ordinance does not provide the authority to do so.
An example is the affordable housing project by Palm Communities in Rubidoux
approved by the Director in 2013. Although this project met or exceeded our standards
for market rate housing, the policy implication suggested this project should be reviewed
by the Planning Commission. Under the present ordinance there was not a means to
refer the project to the Commission.

GENERAL PLAN ADVISORY COMMITTEE (GPAC): REMOVAL OF
GENERAL MEMBER/DECLARATION OF VACANCY
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council remove Craig Maxwell from the General Plan Advisory Committee
(GPAC), declare the seat vacant and direct the Planning Department/City Clerk to
advertise a notice of unscheduled vacancy and begin the process to fill the seat.
BACKGROUND
As established by the City Council, the GPAC includes 23 general voting members and
9 ex officio members. On November 6, 2014, the Council appointed 13 of the general
members to the GPAC, including Craig Maxwell, a resident of Jurupa Valley. Mr.
Maxwell has not attended any of the GPAC meetings held to date and has indicated
that he no longer intends to serve on the GPAC. The GPAC Roles, Responsibilities,
Rules and Procedures Manual states: “GPAC members missing more than 2
consecutive meetings may be removed from the Committee at the Council’s discretion.”
Staff recommends the City Council remove Mr. Maxwell from the GPAC, declare the
seat vacant, and direct the Planning Department/City Clerk to publish a notice of
unscheduled vacancy and begin the process to fill the seat.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Staff time to support the GPAC, as outlined in the Interim General Plan Work Program,
was approved by the City Council as part of the Interim General Plan budget.
