Deborah Hild, a longtime Jurupa Valley resident, told the committee: \"A v ditch runs behind my house along Galena Street. . . . If we get any substantial rain, this could potentially block the flow to the flood control channel causing flooding of property.\" She said county crews used to clean the ditch regularly but the city had told her the easement was never accepted and that maintenance had become the property owners' responsibility.

City staff reviewed the record and said the channel is currently private and not in the city's maintenance system. \"This is considered private property at this point, and we do not maintain anything in private property,\" Dave French, deputy director of operations, told the committee. Staff described two options: leave maintenance as the homeowners’ responsibility, or recommend the city assume maintenance and take the item to the City Council for authorization.

Staff estimated initial and ongoing costs if the city assumed maintenance: roughly $17,000 annually for twice-yearly contractor work (pre- and post-wet season), equipment and disposal, and prevailing-wage contractor labor; the initial cleanup would include cutting back overgrowth and jetting accumulated debris. Staff also said the city would need recorded public easements from each affected owner — staff estimated about five properties would be involved — before crews may lawfully access and maintain the channel.

Staff and committee members repeatedly described the item as a \"special case\" because the ditch lies outside the private property fences near the right-of-way and therefore is relatively accessible compared with other private ditches that sit inside backyards. Staff warned taking on maintenance could set a precedent because the city has other private drainage areas; committee members and residents said the ditch’s visible location and debris that reaches the flood channel weigh in favor of city involvement.

The committee agreed by consensus to move forward with a recommendation to the City Council: staff will request a formal petition from residents asking the city to assume maintenance, prepare the necessary easement paperwork for roughly five property owners, and return to council for consideration. Staff cautioned that, if council agrees, the city could not begin work until all easements and legal steps were complete.

Next steps identified at the meeting: staff will accept a formal resident request, prepare a council submittal, and if council approves, record easements and contract for the initial cleanup and ongoing twice-yearly maintenance. No formal council action occurred at the committee meeting; the committee’s direction was a recommendation to staff to bring the matter to the City Council.

Details from the meeting: the channel (La Bonita tract area south side of Galena, just west of Pedley) was recorded in the early 1970s; county records on file show the drainage easement was not accepted into the county maintenance system when the tract was accepted. Staff said other private drainage locations exist around the city and maintaining this channel could create precedent for similar requests.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Jurupa Valley City - Public Works Advisory Committee Meeting - Apr 10, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","A resident urged the Jurupa Valley Public Works Advisory Committee on April 10 to address a clogged concrete 'V' ditch behind homes on Galena Street, and staff said the channel is private but the committee agreed to recommend the City Council consider assuming maintenance if residents provide a formal request and easements.","taxTitle","Jurupa Valley, Riverside County, California","taxId",3854,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6607057,"Jurupa Valley public works reports rise in closed service requests, project updates and upcoming community events",525,3231000,3756000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2956588-2ddd213c16d9345bbaa33ff8b7d133ae&start=3231&end=3756","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2956588-2ddd213c16d9345bbaa33ff8b7d133ae/thumbnail_3231000.jpg","/articles/6607057/Jurupa-Valley/Riverside-County/California/Jurupa-Valley-public-works-reports-rise-in-closed-service-requests-project-updates-and-upcoming-community-events","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6607057-9f4709274568f8edd378703fd45594c7/orig.mp4?Expires=1771160831&Signature=e9jYW~qU-V-h4XURe2p4i90tGOgFTrJcpuGAzc4Doucz0ER4HP5lSsSZ8kseFjlKHr20Tj5Dd0nG4kJXX7z16yN~-xESEfA66p00zK7KsCUcSkbzNKkZckV7vcfaYSpf~0gLGQ-TD4TvbO6NZjNQgryMucLe1NeQI637M-T4b3N9YQxivc6CbKJcD5PaWiPDp~hKQJ0gKSJrL0n6VBzbQ4yCT5aHmNf8XZtkpnPHtC2UIz41a7bjGScHScACPOYJChkUZBj8~B0bB7KtUOnL1HtrkJ9c4n2oe3Z4PPtFDTLy~0mdAnHU5jJE-Q8uvF1zeUKbL1ns0JkEXwgrF2TwLQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Public Works staff gave an operations and capital improvements update to the Jurupa Valley Public Works Advisory Committee on April 10, reporting higher closed service-request volume, status updates on multiple construction projects, and upcoming community events.

\"We completed just over 1,300 service requests in that 3 month time frame,\" Dave French, deputy director of operations, told the committee, noting the figure covers fiscal third quarter (January–March) closed requests. Staff said illegal dumping accounted for about 56% of requests but that response times have improved (staff reported roughly a 24-hour turnaround for typical illegal-dumping requests). Staff described an in‑house field crew of seven (six field staff plus one buildings-dedicated staff) supplemented by six contracted workers for landscaping and other services.

Capital project highlights presented by Maria, deputy director for construction and CIP: active-transportation (ATP) safe-route projects near schools are nearing 100% design and will install sidewalks, curb-and-gutter and ADA curb ramps; Avalon/Belltown rehabilitation is near completion and expected to finish next month; the Glen Haven/Rubedo CDBG project is complete and will go to Council for notice of completion; multiple corridor rehabilitation segments were out to bid using ARPA funds and are in final construction (grind-and-overlay, slurry and ramp replacements); a traffic-signal coordination project (fiber, cabinets, head/back-plate upgrades) began using HSIP and ARPA funds; Market Street widening from Rubedo Boulevard to the Acero was bidded and will be taken to Council for award in May using TUMF developer funds; and the city plans a combined 24/25 slurry-seal procurement (three years of funding combined) using Measure A funds.

Staff also highlighted public programs: a bulky-item cleanup hosted by the franchise hauler (April 19 at Patriot High School) with unlimited residential bulky-item drop-off for Jurupa Valley residents with proof of residency; an Arbor Day/ Earth Day event with free mulch and tree-planting demonstrations on April 22 at the operations center; and a Public Works open-house on May 10 at the operations center with equipment displays and community demonstrations.

Committee members raised quality-control concerns on recent slurry-seal work and temporary road patches in a construction area handled by Granite Construction. Staff said they are moving to more in-house inspection capacity and encouraged members to report candidate streets for slurry or overlay as the city approaches budget season. Staff also said the Pedley traffic signal installed as part of the grade separation project will not be activated until coordinated with the larger grade‑separation signal system and that the grade-separation project is expected to be completed in 2026.

Staff announced an upcoming freight-analysis program to identify truck routes and update the general plan’s mobility element; staff said community engagement on truck-route recommendations will follow and indicated a 6–8 month timeline to the study's later stages. No formal committee action was taken on these reports; staff asked the committee to provide field input on candidate streets and projects.","Public Works staff reported Q3 maintenance metrics, ongoing capital projects and upcoming resident events.

\"Good evening, committee members. Steve Laurisso, here to talk about this,\" said Steve Laurisso as he introduced the proposal and its background. Staff said a 2018 City Council resolution originally established the citywide permit-parking approach and that only two permit zones existed at the time (Pedley and Rubedo areas). The draft update would add clearer petition procedures, specify permit types and quantities, and allow for a fee to be charged for permits.

Key elements staff presented: a petition process requiring neighborhood organization of signatures (both sides of the street must participate), a 75% approval threshold for neighborhoods to move forward, the possibility of two resident permits per household plus up to two visitor permits, issuance of temporary or day passes for short events, and a proposed renewal period (staff initially proposed three years but said any period could be considered). Staff also described enforcement by code enforcement officers and noted summer enforcement coverage in areas with seasonal river access.

Committee members asked about resident notification/field reviews and asked that district council members be included in field reviews in their districts. Committee members asked staff to provide cost estimates for signage, enforcement and permit administration before the policy is finalized. Several members emphasized the policy is a draft and should be refined with community input.

The committee gave staff consensus direction to refine the draft, develop cost estimates (including fees for permits and temporary passes), consider grace-period language for events, and bring a revised draft back to the committee before any recommendation to City Council. No committee vote or council action occurred at the meeting.","Public Works staff presented proposed revisions to the citywide residential permit-parking policy, expanding guidance on petitions, permit types, renewal periods and enforcement. The committee asked for refinements and cost estimates and directed staff to return the draft to committee before forwarding to City Council.","actionData","errors"]
