AGENDA REPORT
AGENDA ITEM NO. 6
SUBJECT: THIRD AMENDMENT TO AGREEMENT WITH MICHAEL BAKER
INTERNATIONAL, INC. TO PROVIDE PROFESSIONAL CONSULTANT
SERVICES FOR ADMINISTRATION OF THE CITY’S HOME
INVESTMENT PARTNERSHIPS PROGRAM (HOME) GRANT FUNDED
HOUSING REHABILITATION PROGRAM
MEETING DATE: March 15, 2021
PRESENTED BY: Bonnie Johnson, City Manager
______________________________________________________________________
RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully recommended that the City Council approve the Third
Amendment to the Agreement with Michael Baker International, Inc. to provide professional
consultant services for the administration of the Home Investment Partnership Program
(HOME) and Grant Funded Housing Rehabilitation Program.
______________________________________________________________________
DISCUSSION AND SUMMARY: On October 12, 2016, the City of Calimesa received an
award from the California State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD)
for funding under the HOME program in the amount of $508,400 to provide deferred, zero
interest loans in an amount up to $40,000 to qualifying families with low to moderate incomes.
Applicants are required to own and occupy their homes and be in need of financial assistance
in order to make repairs and other minor improvements. The loan is paid back to the City
when the property is sold or transferred to another party.
On February 20, 2017, the City Council authorized the City Manager to enter into an agree-
ment with Michael Baker International, Inc. (MBI) for $108,400 to provide professional
consultant services for the setup and administration of the City’s HOME funded Rehabilitation
Loan Program, utilizing funds from the $508,400 award from HCD.
In addition, the City had previously received HOME grants in 2007 and 2012. Although all
Grant funds have been expended at this time, the City occasionally receives income from
loans paid back as part of the HOME program; this is called “Program Income” (PI). In
accordance with guidance from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development, these
additional PI funds must be incorporated into the City’s current program and spent toward
qualifying expenses. In May of 2018, the current agreement with the consultant was amended
(First Amendment) to provide for the use of PI as the initial source of funds to compensate the
consultant, however, 31.6% of all PI funds received (10% for administration and 24% of the
remaining 90% for Activity Delivery) must be used in this manner. This requirement provides
additional funding for the volume of services that the consultant can perform under the
Agreement. The City currently has $95,213 available in PI funds to be used toward consultant

CITY COUNCIL MEETING
AGENDA REPORT
AGENDA ITEM NO. 8
SUBJECT: LIBRARY INTERIM EXPANSION PROJECT
MEETING DATE: March 15, 2021
PREPARED BY: Darlene Gerdes, Deputy City Manager/City Clerk
Bonnie Johnson, City Manager
Margaret Monson, Public Works Director
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council review and discuss the conceptual designs
for the Calimesa Library Interim Expansion Project and provide direction to staff.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: At the October 19, 2020 City Council meeting, staff brought
for your review and approval the Workplan that resulted from the February 22, 2020
Strategic Planning/Goal Setting Workshop. One of the level 1 priority goals included the
development of a plan for a temporary or interim expansion of the Library facility.
Staff has developed conceptual plans pursuant to the Library Commission and Library Staff
Evaluation Report provided to the City Council at your February 18, 2020 meeting, which is
attached for Council review. Included was a methodology using the American Library
Association and American Planning Association standards for their use in determining the
experience formulas for library size and costs. However, the Commission believes the DIF
Nexus Study, consistent with the General Plan with a cost of .34 per 15,000 residents
resulting in a 5,100 square foot library would be sufficient for the Calimesa Library. Prior to
the completion of this evaluation, a public forum was held which summarized the Strengths,
Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT’s) of the Calimesa Library. The results are
included in the attached evaluation document.
Public Works Director Monson recently prepared a conceptual plan (entitled Alternate 1),
adding an additional modular building of 2,880 square feet to the existing structure for a total
of 5,400 square feet and the development of an additional parking lot, which is necessary
due to the building size increase. The buildings would connect through a breezeway as
connecting the two modular is not feasible or cost effective. The estimated cost of this
project alternative is $1,143,747. This conceptual plan was presented to the Library
Commission at their February 2, 2021 meeting. The Library Commission was concerned
that connecting the buildings through a breezeway would obstruct the view to the expansion
and would be difficult for the single librarian to observe activity. The Commission expressed
their desire to have the buildings connected side-by-side to allow for the larger space and for
Library staff to have view of all areas.
Public Works Director Monson prepared 2 additional conceptual plans (entitled Alternate 2
and 3) and those were presented to the Library Commission at their March 2, 2021 meeting.
After much discussion, the Commission could not reach a consensus on a conceptual plan.
Alternate 2 would provide 5,760 square feet in a single modular but would require the
existing library to be demolished and temporary library space would be required during
construction. The cost estimate is $1,534,797. Alternate 3 would provide 9,000 square feet
Back to Agenda Page 60 of 90
of a new building (not modular) that would be built on the vacant parcel and the existing
modular would be demolished after construction. The cost estimate is $3,844,630. The
cost estimates and conceptual plans for all three Alternates are attached for Council review.
Please be advised that the cost estimates are just for the basic building, they do not include
costs for furniture, computers or data networks, etc. To include these items, the contingency
would need to be increased from 15% to 25% for each of the Alternate Plans. Also attached
is a sample drawing of a modular unit in the specific size that could be used in Alternate No.
1.
FISCAL IMPACT: The City currently has approximately $1,185,500 including Library
Facilities Development impact fees and other donations/deposits that could be used for
Library facility expansion. It should be noted that there is an approved development project
and related development agreement that includes an obligation to make significant upfront
payments in Library Facilities Fees. Unfortunately, since the project’s re-entitlement in 2017,
the project has remained dormant. As such, the timing of any additional significant Library
revenue is not known or readily projected.

Introduction:
Library Mission Statement: Calimesa Library provides a gathering place to
bring residents together and enrich people’s lives by promoting literacy and
lifelong learning, while creating community connections.
Library Vision Statement: Calimesa Library embraces our rich heritage and
the possibilities of our future by providing informational, educational, and social
opportunities for people of all ages.
Size of building and allotted staff: The Calimesa Library is a 2,520 square
foot building located at 974 Calimesa Blvd, Calimesa, CA 92320. The library
employs an experienced staff of five people: 1 Manager and 4 Library Associate II
employees, including one Youth Services Coordinator. Allotted employee hours
are 25 hours/wk, 20 hours/week (Youth Services Coordinator), 19 hours/week,
and 19 hours/week.
Scope of Programming: The Calimesa Library provides extensive
programming, which is made possible not only through the hard work of it
knowledgeable employees, but through the dedication of several volunteers.
Recurrent Programs include:
Baby Storytime, Preschool Storytime, STEAM (Science, Technology,
Engineering, Arts, and Math), Open Book Club, Adult Craft Night, Knitting &
Crochet Club, Adult Card Making Class. On top of weekly and monthly recurrent
programming, the library implements an extensive Summer Reading Program,
with activities and awards for every age group. Since 2017, the library has
partnered with the City of Calimesa to support YCJUSD’s Summer Lunch at 4th
Street Park.
In spring 2019 our library completed the following SWOT analysis to help
determine the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats to the Calimesa
Library. While there are many things that the library does well, the staff at
Calimesa Library firmly believes in maintaining a growth mindset. To that end, a
SWOT analysis was conducted to determine areas for improvement and growth.

SWOT Report (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, & Threats)
Methodology:
Over a period of 90 days in spring 2019, the library was analyzed for its
Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats. The Branch manager
analyzed several aspects of the library, from programming to circulation and
collection management, to customer service. Next, library staff convened to offer
their input regarding each of the SWOT categories. After that, a public forum was
held where community members were free to give feedback regarding the
library’s Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats. The Branch Manager
then analyzed notes from all three steps, giving special attention to commonly
occurring themes. The SWOT analysis in this report reflects the consolidation and
refinement of the information that was gathered.

Evaluation of Existing Facility:
Methodology:
Staff evaluated the existing library structure’s suitability in meeting Calimesa’s
needs using American Library Association (ALA) and American Planning
Association (APA) standards.
From ALA Library Fact Sheet 11:
Building new libraries, additions, and even remodeling can be a daunting task, and one
that most librarians do not undertake frequently. This fact sheet provides references to
the tools, resources, and advice to help you manage your library building project,
whether large or small. Although this list has been segmented by types of libraries,
materials listed for one type may have useful information for planning other types of
buildings.
Not all libraries are standalone buildings, or have the same internal features. A web
search will turn up libraries that have been co-located in apartment buildings, grocery
stores, senior centers, shopping malls, arts centers, and museums. Some libraries have
coffee shops or theaters as well.
Please note that ALA no longer sets quantitative standards for public libraries, such as
a library building with a recommended number of square feet based on population
size. Such standards were last published by ALA in the 1970s.
(Retrieved from http://libguides.ala.org/library-construction).
From PLA’s Planning the Public Library:
Planning the Public Library
In addition to an awareness of existing shortages, planning for library facilities requires
an evaluation of future needs. These needs will continue to rise at an accelerated pace.
The general population growth is perhaps the most obvious influencing factor, but there
are others as important. The proportion of younger people in the total population is
continually increasing, and is also the largest group of library users, taking between 50
and 60 per cent of the books circulated by the average library.3 Similarly, the rising ratio
Page 67 of 90
CALIMESA LIBRARY ENVIRONMENTAL SCAN Page 7 of 17
of retired people with both time and inclination to use library facilities will increase
demand for services. Other important factors are the generally higher level of
educational achievement and increasing leisure time. Finally, concerted efforts on the
part of the librarian to reach a large segment of the public which is now classified among
the non-users will have a major influence in determining future public library needs.
Building Size
An evaluation of building size and condition is necessary to determine whether each
structure can provide necessary services. The standards for building size are generally
expressed in terms of square feet per capita. The Experience Formulas for Library Size
and Costs, suggest minimum sizes ranging from 0.3 sq. ft. per capita for libraries serving
50,000 people or more to 0.6 or 0.65 for those serving 10,000 to 35,000 people, Another
method of evaluation is consulting with the librarian. In order to analyze librarians'
opinions concerning adequacy of building size, the Cuyahoga County study developed a
set of six questions which described adequacy of library space during peak hours. The
librarians were asked to give a numerical rating between 1 and 3 for the following
situations: (1) lack of table space or sitting space; (2) insufficient browsing space around
shelves; (3) congested internal movement; (4) insufficient space around the card catalog;
(5) overflow of children into adult areas; (6) high noise level.
A score of 3 was given to indicate that conditions were satisfactory; 2 meant that
conditions were adequate; and 1 meant that conditions were inadequate.
Although it was recognized that this evaluation was based exclusively on opinions and
that crowding, where it existed, could be caused by poor design as well as by size, this
measurement was considered more accurate than population figures and square feet
per capita. Local standards for building size were based, not on population, but on a
ratio of number of registrants to available space prevailing in those libraries which were
considered to be ample in size. The maximum and minimum standard for library gross
floor area was established in this case at 1.4 sq. ft. per registrant to 2.6 sq. ft. per
registrant.
Another consideration in determining building size for new construction is the minimum
area considered necessary to provide adequate services and justify the cost of
construction. Wheeler and Goldhor suggest a minimum floor area of 8,000 sq. ft. When
projected use of facilities indicates that 8,000 sq. ft. would be too large for actual needs
alternative service such as bookmobiles should be considered.15
Total Main Floor Space
With the greater emphasis on interior convenience and comfort, there is also greater
emphasis on placing the library areas used by the public for reading and browsing on the
first floor at sidewalk level.
Meeting Room Space
Page 68 of 90
CALIMESA LIBRARY ENVIRONMENTAL SCAN Page 8 of 17
Space that is needed for auditorium and conference rooms depends on actual library
programs. It should be recognized, however, that with the expanding concept of service,
space should be made available for such activities as group meetings, lectures, and film
showings.
Parking Facilities
The need for parking facilities should be determined in each individual case. Although
the standard usually suggested is one square foot of parking for every square foot of
building area, accessibility by walking and car should be taken into consideration.
The information obtained in identifying the "service areas," including the mode of
transportation used by library patrons, can be used to determine need for parking
facilities. In addition, it is necessary to observe the number of people who park at the
library each hour to determine the maximum parking needs. Employee parking must also
be provided, and, generally, two parking spaces for every three employees are
considered necessary.
https://www.planning.org/pas/reports/report241.htm
Using the above methods, library staff evaluated the existing facilities. The results
are included below, beginning with the raw data used for calculations:
Patron Accounts at Calimesa Library: 3119
Patrons Transacting at Calimesa Library (registered in different places as
well as Calimesa): 3314
Per Capita Calculation, using population of 15,000 people:
15000 x .6 = 9000 sq ft
15000 x .65 = 9750 sq ft
Calculation using existing patron numbers:
3119 x 1.4 = 4366.6 sq ft
3314 x 2.6 = 8616.4 sq ft
Target size: 4400 – 9000 sq ft
Current Size: 2520 sq ft
Page 69 of 90
CALIMESA LIBRARY ENVIRONMENTAL SCAN Page 9 of 17
Alternate Rating Method: Satisfactory Adequate Inadequate
Lack of table space/sitting space: 1 2 3
Insufficient browsing space around shelves: 1 2 3
Congested internal movement: 1 2 3
Insufficient space around the computer catalog: 1 2 3
Overflow of children into adult areas: 1 2 3
High noise level: 1 2 3
Note: Further evidence of those categories receiving a “3” can be seen in photos
in Appendix A.
Library Commission Recommendations:
The library has experienced quite a lot of growth in programming and
community participation over the past 5 years. Staff has made modifications over
that time in order to maximize the space. These modifications include acquiring
new furniture that fits more efficiently in the space, and weeding the collection
for outdated/underused materials to eliminate poorly placed shelving units and
open up the space for more seating. The staff has rearranged the furniture
multiple times as well. (For detailed view of modifications over time, see
Appendix B).
Library staff has now reached a point where all shelving and floor space is
being used in the most efficient way possible, and the only other option to create
more floor space for programs is to eliminate much-needed shelving. Conversely,
in order to create more room for shelving, the only recourse is to eliminate much
needed seating. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the Library Commission
that the City Council explore options for expanding the current library space,
particularly the addition of a community room. The addition of another space to
be used as a community room would enable additional storage for staff, free up
Page 70 of 90
CALIMESA LIBRARY ENVIRONMENTAL SCAN Page 10 of 17
more space for wall shelving in the existing location, and allow for quiet study
areas while maintaining the robust program schedule that the library currently
provides for the community. The Library Commission also recommends that City
Council hold community workshops to receive feedback from Calimesa residents
regarding updates to the existing facility.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING
AGENDA REPORT
AGENDA ITEM NO. 9
SUBJECT: Strategic Plan for City Hall Expansion
MEETING DATE: March 15, 2021
PRESENTED BY: Bonnie Johnson, City Manager
Margaret Monson, Interim Public Works Director
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council review the Conceptual Plan for the expansion of City
Hall offices and direct staff on next steps as follows:
• Provide feedback on Conceptual Plan
• If Council concurs with the Conceptual Plan, staff is recommending moving the project
forward to design/project plan preparation
• Once plans are finalized, staff is recommending commencing the public bid process
BACKGROUND: The City Council and City Staff participated in the Strategic Planning and Goal
Setting Workshop on February 22, 2020. During that process, the Council established various
targets and related goals with various priority levels. Based upon that information, Staff developed
a Work Plan that was presented to City Council in October of 2020. Expansion of City Hall office
space was included in the Work Plan as a top priority (level 1) goal under the Infrastructure
(Internal and External) target. Given the current and future projected development activity,
expansion of services to the public will be essential which in turn will require more staff resulting in
a need for additional office space. The City Hall Expansion project is intended to be an interim
solution until such time a new City Hall is built in the future.
DISCUSSION: The proposed City Hall Expansion project includes the enclosure of the current
“breezeway” between City Hall and the Senior Center and conversion of the area into additional
office space. City Staff has completed a conceptual plan along with a rough estimate of
construction costs. In addition, the plan also includes relocating the computer server from existing
City Admin area to its own temperature-controlled room and rewiring the City Council Chambers for
data and phone lines. In order to complete the project, Project plans would need to be prepared
and public bid process followed.
Given, the current space constraints at City Hall, the need for additional staffing and the availability
of funding for the proposed project, and assuming City Council concurs with the Conceptual Plan,
staff is recommending the project move forward ahead of the upcoming 2021-22 Budget. The
project would be funded by Administrative Development Impact (Facilities) Fees and will not impact
the General Fund or any other current or future project funding.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: The rough estimated cost of the project is between $275,000 and $325,000.
Although no appropriation was included in the 2020-21 budget for this project, funds available in
the Administrative Development Impact (Facilities) Fees Fund are approximately $2.67 million.

SUBJECT: PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
MEETING DATE: March 15, 2021
PREPARED BY: Michael Thornton, City Engineer
RECOMMENDATION: Receive and file. No immediate action requested.
BACKGROUND: Over 41 miles of paved roadway exist in the City. The roadway system was
inherited from the County of Riverside when the City incorporated in 1990. The City’s roadway
system is deteriorating due to age and use.
In 2018, the City Council approved an update to the City’s outdated Pavement Management
Program (PMP) to ascertain the condition of our City streets. In late 2018, the City retained a
PMP consultant, Public Work 1, Inc., to collect roadway pavement condition data for all 41 miles
of City paved roadways. A key tool used in evaluating pavement conditions is Pavement
Condition Index (PCI) condition rating for each roadway segment (intersection to intersection).
PCI rating ranges from 0 (failed) to 100 (excellent) scale. Most Inland Empire cities have adopted
a minimum PCI goal of 70.
Roadway inspection criteria and PCI determination is governed by ASTM Standard D6433-11,
“Standard Practices for Roads and Parking Lots Pavement Condition Index Surveys”. Using this
standard makes the analysis objective and repeatable means of assigning a condition rating to
roadways.
PCI assists the City in determining the most appropriate pavement rehabilitation strategy to be
used for a roadway. Rehabilitation strategies include – from least cost to highest cost:
1. Crack Filling
2. Crack Filling with Slurry Seal
3. Crack Filling with Chip Seal
4. Micro-Surfacing
5. Edge Grind and Overlay
6. Grind, Crack Filling and Overlay
7. Select Removal and Replacement of Base Pavement with Grind and Overlay, and
8. Complete Reconstruction that includes Overlay.
Roadways with greater PCI result in lower rehabilitation costs. Roadway rehabilitation is costly
regardless of the strategy implemented. Prioritization of projects is not determined based on PCI
alone; many other factors may be considered including volumes. For example, streets with
larger traffic volumes are typically prioritized over local roadways.

City roadway data was accumulated in March of 2019. PCI for 312 roadway segments was
collected ranging from 40 to 100. The average PCI is 63. The PMP consultant did not
recommend an investment for streets with PCI’s of 70 or greater. The PCI data and Consultant’s
recommendations are presented below:

Administration, Legal and Engineering (7%): $431,366
Construction Administration and Inspection (12%): $739,435
Project Total: $7,333,172
The City’s funding sources for roadway rehabilitation are extremely limited and include Measure
A, Gas Tax, and General Fund.
During the 2021-22 Budget process, Staff will be proposing a plan for ongoing street maintenance
that will consider all of the above-mentioned pavement management strategies (8 listed above) –
not just strategies recommended by the City’s PMP Consultant – and investment
recommendations for streets with PCI’s greater than 70 for the proposed Capital Improvement
Program (CIP) so that critical streets are preserved. A General Fund ongoing contribution will be
a critical component of the plan.
FISCAL IMPACT: None
