SUBJECT: MDM West Contract Extension for Preventive Maintenance and Repair Services
RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council and the Board of Directors of the Hesperia Water
District authorize the City Manager to increase the not-to-exceed amount for Agreement 2010-
11-084 with MDM West from $186,750 to $221,750.
BACKGROUND
During Fiscal Year 2014-15, an amendment to Agreement 2010-11-084 was made extending the Agreement with MDM West one additional year, to expire on June 30, 2016. This funding is required to perform repair work resulting from the performance of preventive maintenance and inspections throughout the year including unexpected repairs on older units. Over the past several years, the City has experienced a dramatic decrease in trouble calls at all facilities, based on an effective preventive maintenance and repair program.
ISSUES/ANALYSIS
MDM West employs a staff with over fifty years of combined experience in commercial heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) services and twenty years of experience in automated controls serving the greater Riverside, Los Angeles, and San Bernardino areas. This increase will provide the necessary funding to perform preventive maintenance and repair work on mechanical equipment at the following locations: City Hall, Library, Animal Control, Eagle
Plaza, Mojave Yard, 9393 Santa Fe Avenue., Hesperia Police Department, and Fire Stations
302, 303, 304 and 305.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds have been budgeted in accounts 100-29-310-3110-7500 and 700-29-400-4080-7500 for preventive maintenance services. These accounts will fund preventative maintenance and repairs over the next year.

SUBJECT: Award a Professional Services Agreement, to Valued Engineering, Inc., to provide Professional Civil Engineering Design Services Plans, Specifications and
Estimates (PS&E) for the Willow Street Paseo Safe Route to School Project
(Construction Order Number 7123)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council award a Professional Services Agreement (PSA), to
Valued Engineering, Inc., to provide Professional Civil Engineering Design Services Plans,
Specifications and Estimates (PS&E) for the Willow Street Paseo Federally Route to School
Project (Construction Order Number 7123), in an amount of $74,200; approve a 10% contingency in the amount of $7,420 for a total authorized contract amount of $81,620; and authorize the City Manager to execute the contract.
BACKGROUND
Section 1404 of the Federal Safe Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity, A
Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU) Act, authorized the Safe Routes to School (SRTS) Program.
The Safe Routes to School Grant is intended to improve conditions for students to safely walk and bike to school. The Safe Routes to School Grant Program encourages partnerships among schools, local agencies and the community.
The Safe Routes to School Program awards millions nationwide to: (1) enable and encourage children to walk and bike safely to school (2) make bicycling and walking to school a safer and more appealing transportation alternative and (3) facilitate the planning, development and implementation of projects and activities that will improve safety and reduce traffic consumption and air pollution in the vicinity of schools.
Cycle 3 of the Federal Safe Routes to School (SRTS) Program awarded 139 project applications of the 332 applications submitted statewide. Each District through the District
Selection Committee Process selected their highest scored projects up to their funding target of
$66 million. In October of 2011, the City of Hesperia was notified that the Willow Street Paseo was one of the projects selected.
Tom Dodson & Associates was hired to prepare the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)
Level Federal Environmental documents which are required as part of a Federal project. This process was finalized and approved by Caltrans in March of 2015.

PSA Willow Street Paseo
October 20, 2015
The Willow Street Paseo involves the construction of a bicycle/pedestrian paseo along the north and south sides of Willow Street from Third Avenue to Eighth Avenue. The paseo will provide a safe path of travel from high density housing areas of the City to several schools which are located along Willow Street. In addition, it will provide another link to the Eighth Avenue Paseo, providing additional bicycle/pedestrian friendly routes to the Civic Center Complex. This facility follows the “complete street” concept as identified in the City’s General Plan and outlined in the
Urban Design Framework Plan.
ISSUES/ANALYSIS
The City received authorization to proceed with Preliminary Engineering in July of 2015. Staff published a Request for Proposal on August 18, 2015 to provide Professional Civil Engineering
Design Services Plans, Specifications and Estimates (PS&E) with a proposal due date of
September 22, 2015. Each proposal received was ranked and evaluated by a designated review team and the proposal with the highest evaluated score was selected as the PSA award recipient. After review of the submitted proposals, the selection team scored Valued
Engineering, Inc. as the top-ranked firm. Valued Engineering, Inc. is a small firm based out of
Upland, California, with extensive experience processing SRTS projects, infrastructure design and landscape design. Valued Engineering, Inc., has teamed up with Wilson Associates North for project surveyor, GPSI as the aerial photogrammetrist and Wilson Associates as the
Landscape Architect. Staff recommends award of the Contract to Valued Engineering, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $74,200.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funding for this project was included in the approved Fiscal Year 2015-16 Capital Improvement
Program under Construction Order No. 7129. The project will be funded by Federal Safe Routes to School (SRTS) Grant funds ($834,900), as well as Measure I Renewal ($83,188) funds to make up the City’s match.

SUBJECT: Security Services Contract Extension, Mojave Corporate and Civic Center
RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the Mayor and Council Members and Chair and Board Members of the
Hesperia Water District authorize the City Manager to execute a three-month extension to the current Professional Services Agreement 2015-16-043 with Alltech Security Solutions in the notto-exceed amount of $99,754.
BACKGROUND
Within the approved Fiscal Year 2015-16 budget, City Council allocated funds for the purpose of contracting unarmed security services for multiple years. In previous years Mojave Corporate
Yard and the civic center have experienced theft and vandalism prompting the continuing need to contract unarmed security services. Over the past several years, unarmed security guards have reduced and/or eliminated theft and vandalism that was occurring at both locations and have established safe and secure facilities as well as providing a safe environment for our employees after normal working hours.
ISSUES/ANALYSIS
On August 14, 2014 An Extreme Security Inc. was awarded a three-year contract to provide unarmed security services at The Mojave Corporate Yard and the Civic Center which includes the Hesperia Branch Library. On July 15, 2015 An Extreme Security Inc. submitted documentation requesting contract termination on August 8, 2015 in accordance with the contract requirements. As a result of the request for contract termination the purchasing department solicited numerous vendors from the original bid solicitation to ask for pricing to be held as originally submitted on the bid documents. The purchasing department found Alltech
Security Solutions as a responsible and responsive contractor to the inquiries. On August 08,
2015 a temporary 90 day contract was issued to Alltech Security Solutions to allow the
Purchasing Department adequate time to solicit a new three-year contract. Due to time constraints it is necessary to extend the current agreement with Alltech Security Solutions an additional 90 days to complete the bidding process.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funding for the remainder of the contract is identified under the proposed budget for Fiscal Year
2015-16 in accounts 700-29-400-4070-7500 and 100-29-310-3110-7500.

SUBJECT: Crime Free Rental Housing Program
Second Reading and Adoption
RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended the City Council adopt Ordinance No. 2015- 12, approving the Crime Free
Rental Housing Program.
BACKGROUND
On October 6, 2015, the City Council introduced and placed on first reading Ordinance No.
2015-15 establishing a Crime Free Rental Housing Program. The program is designed to address the disproportionate calls for service and crime emanating from rental properties.
During the October 6, 2015 meeting, the Council directed staff to bring back this item for second reading with the following modifications:
1. The 3 day Crime Fee Tenant Screening has been reduced to 2 business days.
2. The mandatory criminal screening has been added to the Ordinance.
3. There will be no annual fee for this program.
4. This will be a two year pilot program during which time quarterly reports will be provided to the Council. At the end of the program, a complete evaluation will be conducted to determine if performance standards have been met, and actual cost to administer the program. A report will be provide to the City Council.
5. The Crime Free Lease Addendum is included (Attachment No. 2).
ISSUES/ANALYSIS
The proposed Hesperia Crime Free Rental Housing Program was fashioned in a way to address legal issues encountered by other municipalities. The “Crime Free” approach is not new and has been employed throughout the country to varying degrees of effectiveness. Staff advertised and personally contacted owners, property managers and tenants encouraging them to attend two informational meetings about this proposed ordinance. A third meeting was held with the
California Apartment Association. The following are key components of our proposed ordinance:
Page 33

Page 2 of 3
Staff Report to the City Council
Crime Free Housing Program
October 6, 2015
1. Residential rental property will be defined as a dwelling that is occupied by person(s) other than the owner where money, services or valuables are exchanged for the ability to reside.
2. Services will be provided for owners and tenants in order to better serve our community.
This will include Crime Free classes, Crime Free screening of tenants, inspections of units, crime and incident reports to owners, a specially trained deputy and an abeyance of fines incurred by tenants that are passed on to owners. Currently fines incurred by tenants for code violations such as an unlicensed animal are passed to the owner if the tenant does not pay. If the owner is complying with the program with no violations they will be deemed to be in “Good Standing” and the fines will be held in abeyance.
3. The tenants and owners will be held accountable for their actions. This will be done through the use of administrative fines or on extreme cases by the use of nuisance abatement.
4. If the water, refuse, gas, electric or property tax bill is in a different name or sent to another address, it will be a rebuttable presumption the property is a rental property.
This proposed ordinance has been drafted paying particular attention to the successes and shortcomings of other Crime Free programs. This ordinance will be different in the following ways:
1. The annual mandatory inspection of the rental property will be far less intrusive, not require the owner’s presence and will concentrate on crime prevention and safety related issues. A detailed copy of the inspection will be provided to the owner and if the unit does not pass they will have 60 days to make corrections. If there are obvious code violations the information will be forwarded to Hesperia Code Enforcement. Other cities require an interior inspection which necessitates the presence of the owner or their representative and can disrupt the tenant.
2. The program will incorporate time and money saving ideas to support owners and tenants. Registration can be made on line or in person. We will encourage most contact and correspondence via email to ensure a prompt response and to minimize postal costs for all parties.
3. All tenants will be required to be screened through the Sheriff’s Department Crime Free program, and through a separate criminal background check. The Sheriff’s Department will provide Crime Free screening service 6 days a week. The owner or property manager will be notified, via email or by telephone, if a prospective tenant(s) have been in violation of the “Crime Free Lease Addendum” anywhere in the County in the past.
The decision to rent to a tenant will be by the owner or property owner, not the Sheriff’s
Department.
A separate criminal screening will be required, and will be the responsibility of the property managers or owners through the use of private companies. The results of the criminal screening will be kept by the property managers or owners on file, and will not need to be provided to the Sheriff’s Department.

Staff Report to the City Council
Crime Free Housing Program
October 6, 2015
4. The level of service and support to owners and tenants will be higher than other Crime
Free programs. Most do not provide Crime Free screening, crime reports, notification of violations, the number of law enforcement responses to their properties or a specially trained deputy to assist them.
5. The number of personnel required to administer this program will be minimal. One
Deputy Sheriff, one Sheriff’s Service Specialist and one Office Specialist.
6. All owners will be required to include the “Crime Free Lease Addendum” with each contract or lease. The owner or property manager will be required to include the addendum to all new contracts and to convert all existing contracts within one year. Most rental contracts are month to month so it will be permissible to add the addendum to existing contracts in short order..
FISCAL IMPACT
The annual cost to administer the program is estimated at $360,000. This cost includes the addition of one deputy, one Sheriff Service Specialist, one Office Specialist, one vehicle and other related costs. The cost does not reflect any revenue generated by fines.
For Fiscal Year 2015-16, the City budgeted $159,898 for this program. This cost anticipated a start-up January 1, 2016, and included all additional personnel with the exception of the deputy.
It was assumed that if the program was approved by the City Council, the deputy would not be needed until the start of Fiscal Year 2016-17. There are sufficient funds in this year’s budget to administer the program. Funding will be included in future year’s budgets to cover all operating costs.
Should the City Council approve Ordinance 2015-12, then staff recommends approval of the
Crime Free Rental Housing Program Fee Joint Resolution that establishes fees for noncompliance of the Program The final fee schedule will be presented to the City Council under a separate item at the October 20, 2015 City Council meeting.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
HESPERIA, CALIFORNIA, REQUIRING THE REGISTRATION
AND REGULATION OF HOUSING RENTAL BUSINESSES FOR
CRIME FREE RENTAL HOUSING
WHEREAS , the City of Hesperia ("City'') has experienced an increase in the occurrence of substandard maintenance, unsafe conditions, illegal activity and public nuisances in singlefamily rental and multi-family rental property, especially those owned by absentee landlords; and
WHEREAS , residential rental properties are responsible for a disproportionate share of code enforcement and law enforcement calls for service that necessitates a disproportionate expenditure of public funds for such properties; and
WHEREAS , illegal activity in the City interferes with the health, safety, quality of life, quiet enjoyment and general welfare of the individuals residing near rental property and may contribute to a decline in the value of surrounding properties; and
WHEREAS , homeowners and other residents in a given neighborhood have little to no influence on absentee landlords who operate a substandard rental property; and
WHEREAS , existing state and local laws have not sufficiently encouraged landlords, particularly absentee landlords, to take reasonable and proactive steps to abate these conditions and to ensure their premises are crime-free, safe and decent; and
WHEREAS , the City Council has determined it is necessary to implement a “Crime Free
Rental Housing Program" to alleviate these problems and improve living conditions for renters, and protect the general welfare of individuals in affected neighborhoods; and
WHEREAS , pursuant to Article XIIIB of the California Constitution, it is the intent of the
City Council to recover the costs related to the regulation of rental properties located in the City; and
WHEREAS , the rental and letting of housing is a business and it is necessary and proper to regulate such a business to ensure there is safe and decent housing for persons of all income levels; and
WHEREAS , the County Sheriff’s department has purchased Crime Free tracking software that allows the Sheriff’s Department to quickly determine if a prospective tenant has been in violation of the Crime Free program anywhere in San Bernardino County; and
WHEREAS , through the adoption of this Chapter, the City will implement a new program that is rationally related to encourage upkeep of all residential rental property for the public health, safety, and welfare of the residents of the City of Hesperia.

HCDC 2015-11 and approve fees for non-compliance of the Crime Free Rental Housing (CFRH)
Program.
BACKGROUND
The City Council will consider adoption of the CFRH Program through second reading of the proposed Ordinance at the October 20, 2015 meeting. Should the item be approved, a fee schedule is recommended to cover non-compliance with the CFRH Program.
ISSUES/ANALYSIS
At the October 6, 2015 City Council meeting, the Council directed staff to include just those fees that are associated with non-compliance of the Program. Attachment No. 1 identifies in bold the recommended additions to Section 200 Police-Public Safety of the Fee Schedule to cover noncompliance including failure to use the Crime Free Lease Addendum and failure to evict.
FISCAL IMPACT
Approval of this item will add fees for non-compliance of the CFRH Program to the City Fee
Schedule (Attachment No. 3). In accordance with Council direction, fees to administer the program will not be adopted at this time, however, will be brought back for Council consideration after the program has been established for approximately two years. This will allow staff to determine the actual cost to administer and monitor the CFRH Program.

Waiver/Credits
Waiver/Credits
The Hesperia City Council and Board of Directors for the Hesperia Fire Protection District, Hesperia
Redevelopment Agency and Hesperia Water District have adopted the preceding fee schedule to reasonably recover costs necessary to provide various services. As such, fee waivers/credits are not usually anticipated.
However, it is understood that exceptions to the regular procedure may arise. The City Council and Board of
Directors specifically authorize the City Manager or his/her designee to approve fee waivers and/or issue credits to customers not to exceed $5,000. Furthermore, the City Manager or designee is authorized to waive fees/issue credits under the following circumstances:
- 15 -
Page 70


Failure of the District’s water system, which results in an incorrect water meter reading.

If the water delivery system becomes contaminated, fee/rate waivers are approved for all customers affected by such contamination.

For the deposit required after the first time turn-off for non-payment as long as the customer signs a statement agreeing that the deposit waiver is only offered one time and, as such, if the customer is turned off again, the customer will pay all fees and charges.

If a bank error caused a non-sufficient funds (NSF) check to be returned to the District, a waiver of the
NSF charge is approved upon submission of proof by the customer from the bank that it was at fault.

If the customer is able to provide proof that an incorrect billing has been made due to a service reduction at the customer’s property .
On April 2, 2013 the City Council approved a Development Impact Fee (DIF) reduction for single family residential permits within existing recorded subdivisions/lots. This reduction was set to occur for 18-months, and must be for a valid permit. The City Council extended this reduction on September 16, 2014, and it is now valid until April 2, 2016. The amount reduced is $2,957 in City DIF, and $2,573 in Water Facilities DIF (for ¾” meters). For larger meters please contact the Engineering division. The Hesperia Recreation and Park District has similarly modified their DIF as noted below.
The City Council and Boards of Directors retain the sole authority to waive fees/issue credits above the City
Manger’s designated amount and require that waivers must be based on cause. Prior to waiving a fee, the applicant shall specify, in writing, the nature and extent of the fee waiver request and submit it with a deposit of
$50 to the City Clerk. Public entities need not submit the $50 deposit. The deposit amount will be returned should the fees be waived. The City Clerk shall schedule the item for the next available meeting of the City
Council or Board of Directors to which the request applies. Examples for which waivers may be considered would be fees for civic events or programs and fees for facilities providing community wide services. The City
Council and/or Board of Directors shall decide based upon the merits of the request and their decision shall be final.

FROM:

Mike Podegracz, City Manager
Rachel Molina, Community Relations and Media Coordinator
SUBJECT: Support of Partnership with Hesperia Chamber of Commerce for Community
Visioning Project
RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2015-58 to provide support and to partner with the Hesperia Chamber of Commerce on a Community Visioning project.
BACKGROUND
In February 2014, the City Council approved six goals established during the annual City
Council Goal Setting Workshop. One of the goals the City Council identified as a priority was a community visioning process. The purpose of this type of outreach is to identify a vision of what
Hesperia should be over the next 25 years.
ISSUES/ANALYSIS
In December 2014, the Hesperia Chamber of Commerce formed a committee of community leaders to begin a visioning project consisting of three phases. Phase one, dubbed “100 conversations” involved brief interviews with area leaders in business, education, and government sectors. The purpose of these conversations was to identify the collective aspirations of these community members. Data gathered during the first phase is being used for phase two of the project, which is a brief community survey. Phase three of the project is intended to be a more complex visioning process that will seek community consensus on ways to build upon Hesperia’s assets and consensus for a shared community vision for the future.
Significant emphasis will be placed on quality of life and community enhancement.
There currently exists an opportunity to partner with the Hesperia Chamber of Commerce on phase three, a robust visioning outreach campaign, thereby accomplishing the City Council’s visioning goal while avoiding duplication of efforts in the community. Partnership also allows for a more dynamic, inclusive process. The Hesperia Chamber of Commerce intends to seek the involvement of the Hesperia Unified School District and the Hesperia Recreation and Park
District for phase three of the project.
FISCAL IMPACT
If a partnership is approved by the City Council, the Hesperia Chamber of Commerce will seek the services of a consultant that will coordinate visioning outreach efforts. Information on the fees for the consultant and Memorandum of Understanding with the Hesperia Chamber of
Commerce will be brought to the City Council for consideration at a future meeting.

Dave Reno, Principal Planner
SUBJECT: Tapestry Project Timeline
RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council receive and file this report concerning the tasks and timelines necessary to implement the Tapestry Specific Plan.
BACKGROUND
The Tapestry Specific Plan was considered by the Planning Commission at its August 24, 2015 and September 27, 2015, meetings. At the conclusion of the September 24 th hearing, the
Planning Commission voted 4-0 to recommend that the City Council approve the Specific Plan, as well as certify the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and approve the three tentative maps to implement Phase 1 of the project.
The project has been forwarded to the City Council and expected to be heard on November 3,
2015. In preparation for this hearing, the City Council has requested information regarding tasks and timelines associated with implementation of the project.
ISSUES/ANALYSIS
If approved, the Specific Plan will be adopted by ordinance and serve as the regulatory document for the project. It will replace the current Rancho Las Flores Specific Plan that is in place. Approval of the Specific Plan does not automatically authorize development to proceed.
This is because appended to the Specific Plan ordinance are development requirements applicable to the entire project (Attachment 1). In addition, the attached diagram (Attachment 2) illustrates the project’s timeline from the first consultations between the City and Terra Verde, to the projected City Council hearing date. In addition, the diagram illustrates additional tasks that must be completed as the project moves forward. In brief, the diagram shows that after the City
Council’s action, it will take an estimated 36 months before development of the property will begin.
The first two requirements are approval of a Development Agreement (DA) and approval of the
Public Facilities and Financing Plan (PFFP). Both of these documents must be approved by the
City Council before any subdivision can record or development can begin.

Staff Report to the Mayor and Council Members
Tapestry Project Timeline
October 20, 2015
Development Agreement
Article 2.5 of the State’s Planning and Zoning Law authorizes cities to enter into development agreements with any person having a legal or equitable interest in real property for the development of the property. Government Code Section 65865.2 specifies that a Development
Agreement shall include the duration of the agreement, the permitted uses of the property, the density or intensity of the uses and provisions for reservation or dedication of land for public purposes. The Development Agreement may include conditions, terms, restrictions and requirements for subsequent discretionary actions. The agreement may provide that construction shall be commenced within the specified time, and that the project or any phase must be completed within a specified time. The agreement may also include terms and conditions relating to to financing of necessary public facilities and subsequent reimbursement over time. The obligations of the property owner must be transferable to any subsequent buyers of any portion of the property.
City staff typically negotiates the contents of the Development Agreement, along with the City
Attorney. In this case, the City Council established a financial Ad Hoc Committee (similar to the land use Ad Hoc ommittee) in December 2014, that will be involved in the development agreement formulation. A financial consultant (Fieldman, Rolapp & Associates) will assist the
City in its preparation. The Planning Commission, as well as the City Council, must hold at least one public hearing regarding the Development Agreement. The Development Agreement is a legislative act, and therefore there is no specified time for the City to take action. Because of the magnitude of the project, and uncertainty of the project’s entitlement scope, a development agreement that meets the contents of state law cannot be prepared at this time. Depending on the complexity of the agreement, the negotiations may take between six and 12 months.
Public Facilities and Financing Plan
The City Council must also adopt a Public Facilities and Financing Plan (PFFP), before development of the property may commence. The PFFP shall address all required public infrastructure, and if necessary, include subordinate agreements with the Hesperia Unified
School District and Hesperia Recreation and Park District for payment of fees or dedication of land to address the impacts of the project on school and park facilities.
The PFFP must also address all public infrastructure, including roads, expansion of transit service, storm drains, water and sewer facilities and the wastewater treatment plant. Fire stations, equipment and costs for public safety services must also be addressed. A concurrency plan is also required to specify which facilities must be developed in conjunction with a particular phase.
A team of consultants is typically required to develop a PFFP. These include an appraiser, pricing/market absorption analyst, fiscal impact analysts, a financial advisor and special tax consultants. The services of bond council and an underwriter will also be necessary at the time bonds are issued. Ultimately, the PFFP specifies that the special tax is to be placed on the affected property that will benefit from the improvements. This tax will initially be paid by the the current property owners and passed on by reapportionment to subsequent homeowners within
Tapestry. Special taxes are subject to disclosure laws to inform potential buyers and homeowners as part of any land transaction within Tapestry. Preparation of the PFFP will occur concurrently with the Development Agreement’s timeline (six to 12 months). As with the DA, the
City Council’s Financial Ad Hoc Committee will be involved in the review of the PFFP. This also

Page 3 of 3
Staff Report to the Mayor and Council Members
Tapestry Project Timeline
October 20, 2015 includes the completion of a special election to allow the property owners to vote to assess this tax on the Tapestry property.
The diagram illustrates other possible scenarios for development of alternatives to the proposed project, including the existing Rancho Las Flores Specific Plan and other development alternatives listed in the environmental impact report. Should the Council not choose to certify the EIR and approve the project, a situation exists where the previously entitled Specific Plan may proceed subject to a refined environmental document and approval of tentative maps in conformance with that plan. In any case, a revised development agreement and financing plan would likely be requested by the developer, subject to approval by the City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funding for the preparation of the development agreement and financing plan, including the consultants, appraisers and engineers, is to be provided by the developer. Some consultants will be paid an hourly basis, and others from the proceeds of the bond issuance (if this occurs).
The City Attorney and City staff will be reimbursed in a manner similar to the review and approval of the Specific Plan and EIR. Therefore, this effort will not impact the City’s budget.

ATTACHMENT 1
Tapestry Specific Plan - Development Requirements
1. Development Agreement; Prior to the issuance of any permits, the City and the developer shall enter into a development agreement to address all aspects of the project’s development in accordance with state law, as well as the City of Hesperia’s General Plan, Municipal Code and the adopted Tapestry Specific Plan. Prior to development within each phase, the required water and sewer facilities shall be evaluated to account for existing and proposed development as well as any Specific Plan Amendments or density transfers approved in accordance with the Specific
Plan.
2. Public Facilities and Financing Plan; Development shall occur in conformance with an adopted
Public Facilities and Financing Plan (PFFP) to be submitted to and approved by the City prior to issuance of any permits. The PFFP shall comprehensively address all required public infrastructure, and if necessary, include agreements with the Hesperia Unified School District and the Hesperia Recreation and Park District for payment of fees or dedication of land to address the impacts of the project on school and park facilities.
3. Concurrency Plan; Prior to recordation of a tentative map for any phase, a concurrency plan shall be submitted to the City illustrating improvements outlined in the PFFP required to be constructed with that phase. The concurrency plan must be approved by the reviewing authority prior to issuance of permits for development within the associated phase.
4. Conservation Areas; The Conservation areas identified on the Tapestry Land Use Plan for preservation of endangered species habitat shall be set aside and managed as open space in accordance with the mitigation monitoring and reporting program, Habitat Management Plan and federal and state Department of Fish and Wildlife standards.
5. Serrano Heritage Preserve; The Serrano Heritage Preserve identified on the Tapestry Land Use
Plan shall be set aside and managed in accordance with state law, the final Cultural Resources
Management Plan and the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program. Said mitigations shall prescribe procedures for access and reburial of any Native American remains found on the property in the course of development.
6. Senior Community; The 3,841 units planned in Phase 5 shall be restricted to senior or an active adult community for persons of at least 55 years of age.
7. Williamson Act Cancellations; Prior to development within Phase 10, the Developer shall initiate cancellation of the agricultural preserve for 585 acres within Phase 10.
8. Dam Inundation Zone; Construction of residential, commercial, or other enclosed buildings within the inundation zone below the Cedar Springs Dam is prohibited unless adequate protection from inundation effects can be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the City Engineer.
9. Street and Highway Funding and Improvements; The number of units that may be permitted at any given time shall be conditioned on the construction of the required improvements to the
Hesperia Street network including Ranchero Road, State Highway 138 or other alternative routes which are determined by the City to be needed to accommodate the increased volume of

STAFF REPORT

October 20, 2015
Chair and Board Members, Hesperia Water District
FROM: Mike Podegracz, City Manager
SUBJECT: Ad Hoc Committee – Urban Water Management Plan
RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the Board of Directors provide direction on the establishment of an Ad
Hoc Committee regarding preparation of the Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP), and if established, appoint two Council Members to participate on the Committee.
BACKGROUND
On September 15, 2015, the Hesperia Water District Board of Directors approved an agreement with GEI Consultants to prepare the District’s 2015 UWMP for the planning period 2015-2040.
The California Water Code requires urban water suppliers within the State of California to prepare and adopt UWMP for submission to the Department of Water Resources (DWR) every five years. The plan must satisfy the requirements of the Urban Water Management Planning
Act of 1983, including amendments that have been made to the Act. The UWMP Act requires urban water suppliers servicing 3,000 or more connections, or supplying more than 3,000 acrefeet of water annually to prepare the UWMP.
ISSUES/ANALYSIS
On October 5, 2015, a project kick-off meeting was conducted with District staff and the consultant to review the content requirements for the UWMP, submission of data needs, and timing for report approval. GEI Consultants anticipate completion of a draft report by April 2016 and adoption in May or June 2016.
At the October 6, 2015 Council meeting, Council member Russ requested that the formation of an UWMP Ad-Hoc Committee be placed on an agenda for discussion and action.
FISCAL IMPACT
There are no costs associated with the formation of an UWMP Ad-Hoc Committee.

Mayor and Council Members
FROM: Mike Podegracz, City Manager
SUBJECT: Ad Hoc Committee – Development Impact Fee Study
RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council provide direction on the establishment of an Ad Hoc
Committee regarding preparation of the City’s Development Impact Fee Program, and if established, appoint two Council Members to participate on the Committee.
BACKGROUND
Development Impact Fee (DIF) Studies must comply with Section 66000 of the Government
Code which was enacted by the State of California in 1987. Section 66000 enables cities to establish development impact fees for the purpose of mitigating the cost of additional municipal facilities as a result of new development. Therefore, the facilities needs list can only include those facilities (and equipment) needed to serve future development in the City through the last year of the development projection.
Facilities with existing deficiencies cannot be included on the needs list unless those facilities will serve both existing and new development. The cost of those improvements must be allocated appropriately to both exiting users and new development.
The City currently has five separate components that are included in the DIF. Those are
Streets, Drainage, Fire, Police, and Public Services. Currently, the City does not collect DIF on the Fire, Police or Public Services components as part of the DIF reduction program, which will remain in effect until April 2, 2016.
ISSUES/ANALYSIS
In early September 2015, a contract was executed with David Taussig & Associates, Inc. (DTA) to perform a study of the DIF program. On October 24, 2015, a project kick-off meeting was conducted with City staff and the consultant to review the existing DIF components and fees, demographic and growth projections, and exiting planning documents. DTA is currently assembling cost and improvement information, and anticipates meeting with the City in early
November to review preliminary data.
At the October 6, 2015 Council meeting, Council member Russ requested that the formation of a DIF Ad-Hoc Committee be placed on an agenda for discussion and action.
FISCAL IMPACT
There are no costs associated with the formation of DIF Study Ad-Hoc Committee.

SUBJECT: Consideration of Establishing an Advisory Body Related to Animal Control
RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council provide direction to staff regarding establishing an advisory body related to Animal Control.
BACKGROUND
As part of the City Council’s goal of improving the operations at the Animal Shelter, the City
Council has directed staff to agendize an item exploring the formation of an advisory body relating to Animal Control. The potential role of the body could be to have decision-making authority on certain issues, and recommending authority on other issues.
ISSUES/ANALYSIS
In the recent past, there has been concern by the City Council on animal services issues brought by the public, and the desire of the Council to have a separate decision-making body
(committee and/or commission) to hear appeals of matters related to Animal Control.
Current Advisory Committee/Commission Composition
The City Council has the authority to establish various advisory committees and commissions.
Currently, the City Council has three standing committees, the City Council Advisory Committee
(CCAC), the Public Safety Advisory Committee (PSAC) and the Planning Commission (PC).
Two of those, the CCAC and the PSAC serve as an advisory resource to review research and provide recommendations on issues, programs, goals and other items as assigned by the City
Council. Each committee is comprised of (5) five members who serve voluntarily with no compensation. Both advisory committees meet quarterly (four times per year), except for special meetings held by the CCAC during the Community Development Block Grant process.
The PC is responsible for reviewing and making recommendations to the City Council regarding the General Plan, the Development Code and approving land subdivisions. The PC meets monthly and members receive a $100 stipend per meeting.
Each Council Member has one appointment to each of the committees/commission discussed above and the term of each appointee commences at appointment and ends thirty (30) days after the end of the appointing Council Member’s term. Additionally, each advisory
Page 97

Page 2 of 2
Staff Report to the Mayor and Council
Establishing an Animal Services Advisory Committee
October 20, 2015 committee/commission falls within the guidelines of the Brown Act (California Government Code
§ 54950, et seq.) and, as such, all meetings are open to the public and must be publicly noticed a minimum of 72 hours prior to the meeting.
None of the City Council’s current advisory committees/commission establishes City policy, administers City programs or directs staff on work tasks or programs.
Past Committee Programs
In 2001, a Community Enhancement Committee was created. As well as serving as an advisory body to the City Council within the parameters outlined above, this committee was also charged with serving as an appeals board for code enforcement citations which included citations issued by the City’s Animal Control division. The Community Enhancement Committee was later dissolved in 2005 due to lack of items for review. Since then, any administrative appeals of code enforcement and animal control citations are conducted through a hearing officer under contract by the City. The officer is typically a retired attorney who conducts an adjudicatory process, within the timelines of Title 1 of the Municipal Code.
An advisory body considering appeals would have to meet 10 to 12 times per year and in some circumstances within 72 hours. Items that could be considered by such a body include programs to promote adoptions including participation in special events and other items the City Council deems appropriate. The make-up of the body should also be considered; residency may not be the critical factor, instead qualifications in the animal control field should be considered.
Staff is requesting direction from the City Council on its intent. Based on the direction, staff will prepare an agenda item for a subsequent meeting.
FISCAL IMPACT
Fiscal impact is unknown at this time. There will be an undetermined indirect cost for staffing of the Committee, and potential costs for compensation of the committee if directed by the Council.
ALTERNATIVE(S)
1. Create an Animal Services Advisory Committee under the same composition and program parameters in line with current Advisory Committee bodies.
2. Create an Animal Services Advisory Committee that in addition to the composition and program parameters of current advisory committees, will act as an appeals board for certain
Animal Control actions.
3. Assign the Animal Control duties outlined by the City Council to the CCAC or PSAC, and modify the respective Committee’s authority as necessary.
4. Provide direction to staff.

Mayor and Council Members
Chair and Board Members, Hesperia Water District
FROM:
BY:
Mike Podegracz, City Manager
Brian D. Johnson, Assistant City Manager/Management Services
SUBJECT: Appointment of Acting Director of Development Services
RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2015-053 and the Board of
Directors of the Hesperia Water District adopt Resolution HWD 2015-013, approving the exception to the 180-day wait period to appoint California Public Employees’ Retirement System
(CalPERS) retired annuitant Jim Hart, as the Acting Director of Development Services.
BACKGROUND
The City of Hesperia contracts with CalPERS to provide employees with a defined benefit retirement plan. Therefore the City is governed by CalPERS law (government codes) when appointing employees who have previously retired from CalPERS (retired annuitants) to positions at the City.
Government code sections 7522.56 and 21224 allows for Public Agencies to appoint a retired annuitant to a position to perform work for a limited duration, for up to a maximum of 960 hours per fiscal year, to be paid up to the maximum hourly rate paid to employees performing similar work without any other compensation or benefits, and that must have the skill set needed to perform the retired annuitant work. Additionally, all retirees are subject to a 180-day wait period before beginning post-retirement work, unless the governing board certifies a resolution for an exception to the 180-day wait period.
The Director of Development Services position is currently filled by an employee who is scheduled to take a temporary medical leave of absence beginning in November for approximately twelve (12) weeks.
Jim Hart retired from the City of Adelanto, another CalPERS public agency, effective
June 1, 2015. Mr. Hart’s combination of experience, knowledge, education, and skills relating to the Development Services functions of a Public Agency will benefit the City of Hesperia during the absence of the Director of Development Services. Mr. Hart’s prior experience managing
Code Compliance functions in a local government agency will assist him in maintaining the City of Hesperia’s current level of services in Animal Control and Code Enforcement, as well as
Building and Safety, Planning and Engineering/CIP functions.

Appointment of Acting Director of Development Services
October 20, 2015
ISSUES/ANALYSIS
The City will comply with CalPERS requirements for a retired annuitant, when appointing Mr.
Hart effective November 9, 2015. Mr. Hart will be appointed to the Acting Director of
Development Services, exempt at-will position and perform the duties of the Director of
Development Services during the current employee’s absence, and not more than 960 hours in a fiscal year and paid at the hourly rate of $76.08 (Non-Represented, Salary Range 51, Level
11) without any other compensation or benefits.
Mr. Hart retired effective June 1, 2015 and therefore his 180-day wait period would be over on
November 28, 2015. The current Director of Development Services is scheduled to begin leave in the middle of November and therefore a short overlap period before the current Director of
Development Services impending leave and Mr. Hart start date is preferred in order to facilitate a smooth transition. With Mr. Hart’s appointment date as November 9, 2015, the City Council and Board of Directors must certify the attached exemption resolutions.
FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal impact associated with appointing Mr. Hart to Acting Director of Development
Services will be funded by salary savings in the department and will be closely monitored by
Finance.
ALTERNATIVE(S)
1. The City can wait until November 28, 2015 to appoint Mr. Hart to the Acting Director of
Development Services, exempt, at-will position. This will eliminate the need to adopt the resolution. The City will still be required to comply with the CalPERS requirement to not work Mr. Hart more than 960 hours in a fiscal year, at the hourly rate of $76.08, without any other compensation of benefits.
2. Provide alternative direction to staff.
