Clark said calls for service were slightly higher in January compared with the previous year, roughly even in March, and that the noon–6 p.m. block consistently records the most calls. He reported felony arrests increased slightly in January and February and were close to prior-year levels in March; misdemeanor arrests were down compared with the prior year.

On Part 1 crimes, Clark said aggravated assaults showed a notable upward trend with spikes in December and March, while robberies were down for January through March and homicides were zero for the reported period. Burglaries showed a significant drop from 94 to 55 for the comparable period; larceny rose modestly (from about 480 to 535 in the six-month comparison Clark provided) and he noted vehicle thefts have trended downward over the past two years.

Clark described traffic-collision counts and response-time performance: response times for Priority 1 calls generally met the department goal in the five- to six-minute range for January through March; fatal collisions were reported as two in February and none in March. Clark said the department had spike enforcement operations (including retail loss-prevention partnerships) around the holiday season that contributed to theft-related arrests in October.

After the presentation, Mayor Tisdale and council members acknowledged the report and had no further action on the item; Clark finished by taking questions and offering to return as needed for follow-up discussion.

No votes were taken on the presentation; it was informational.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City of Lake Elsinore - City Council Meeting (trimmed) - Apr 22, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Lieutenant David Clark of the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office presented first-quarter statistics showing slight increases in calls for service in early 2025, an upward trend in aggravated assaults, a modest rise in larceny, and continued declines in vehicle thefts.","taxTitle","Lake Elsinore, Riverside County, California","taxId",3775,"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},6579233,"Lake Elsinore council adopts resolution opposing state interference in local land-use authority",568,2508000,3076000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3096449-fedfb58ed6f23fd2eb2d04ceb883244c&start=2508&end=3076","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3096449-fedfb58ed6f23fd2eb2d04ceb883244c/thumbnail_2508000.jpg","/articles/6579233/Lake-Elsinore/Riverside-County/California/Lake-Elsinore-council-adopts-resolution-opposing-state-interference-in-local-land-use-authority","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6579233-47e5fe839ef21aea6d42bdc9c2a00159/orig.mp4?Expires=1770634348&Signature=YY0N-vuVsmJYnBCPwMJiVNXxMhkqLSKdMxA5FN6m01Z-qX~9oRgId~Svh4HJGRaSXUnKro8k2f1D2oVfGe1MW-dbN1zOdYvZa9iSryHlm7AZWcT-KhkcdD1qD8DuhD9iM-sSJ8oN2IXD098cSsF5OE~JfUXW5xav~GMJMqfteMw~85Pq8fZQz~s~xnDK~x~Cc~l3tvznHRNkZtKJC9VpSRRovZ8zCPvCGbGtb7rfJmWdt~QFNl-58xfC9rAxMMtzdgI8a2bD00cCoMFBe1qHuG3Ac6tDRMxR9n4b~fAn63iPAtDetqOHhors7GGDpOlq4zNdmjRp8i2NHXwzL8vngg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Lake Elsinore City Council on April 28 voted 4-0 to adopt a resolution opposing state actions the staff presentation said undermine local land-use authority and public participation in planning decisions.

Gina Gonzalez, director of economic development and the city’s legislative affairs lead, told the council the resolution responds to state housing mandates and laws — including multiple bills and RHNA allocations — that staff said can limit the city’s ability to enforce local zoning, environmental review and infrastructure planning. Gonzalez cited examples by number in her presentation, including Assembly Bill 337 (historical reference), Senate Bill 63 and Assembly Bill 211, and singled out recent laws she said move housing toward a by-right approval model.

\"The core of these laws are really to move to a by right model for housing development that really cuts out our public participation,\" Gonzalez said in the presentation summary to the council.

Mayor Pro Tem McGee and Councilmembers Sheridan and Johnson spoke in favor of the resolution. McGee called it a response to \"systematic\" state changes that affect local control and praised staff’s report; Sheridan said he supported the resolution but added it \"isn’t the way to go about getting it resolved\" (referring to next steps). Councilwoman Johnson moved the resolution; Mayor Pro Tem McGee seconded. The motion carried, 4-0. The council packet listed the item as the proposed resolution to oppose \"the state of California interfering with the city's land use authority.\" No fiscal impacts were reported at the meeting.

The council also handled related procedural business in the same session. The city approved its consent calendar (items 5–23) by motion of Councilwoman Johnson, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem McGee, 4-0. The successor agency consent calendar (six items) passed by motion of Councilwoman Johnson, seconded by Councilmember Sheridan, 4-0. The council appointed Andy Pease to the Planning Commission, District 5, by unanimous consent; Councilmember McGee noted Pease’s neighborhood volunteer history and construction background when introducing the appointment.

A member of the public, John Greer, used the three-minute public comment period to ask about contractor licensing for curb-and-gutter sidewalk projects and said he had previously bid similar work but was told the current solicitation required a larger license class; staff said the public works director or city manager could follow up and provide an answer.","The City Council voted 4-0 to adopt a resolution opposing what staff described as state laws and mandates that limit local control of land-use decisions. Councilmembers expressed unified support; the resolution directs staff to pursue follow-up actions and preserves public input protections.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6579237,"Lake Elsinore officials briefed on new Local Responsibility Area fire-hazard maps, adoption deadline in July",735,1134000,1869000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3096449-fedfb58ed6f23fd2eb2d04ceb883244c&start=1134&end=1869","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3096449-fedfb58ed6f23fd2eb2d04ceb883244c/thumbnail_1134000.jpg","/articles/6579237/Lake-Elsinore/Riverside-County/California/Lake-Elsinore-officials-briefed-on-new-Local-Responsibility-Area-fire-hazard-maps-adoption-deadline-in-July","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6579237-f47bf3d993a9c23de14be0d09a9ec322/orig.mp4?Expires=1770634348&Signature=hstgyevhEmMZ9C2YTFJHgaG3q~xby6HEdtQY5tqP77aqTmwQ~xxRETppdEZk29a7tP5X8rmmA9~VjUracpqEfxQ7R-HVwx3l~EwBd6QADQJizRMkGAEiotyEgrj8CjXLspeptqWRnb7vGPjsCGv2QSXT4OkRGICXvh-upkkU-~uT5SWdmTKKTynzYeJ-gd-XCC~GVGhqXYQ9rBUEm5jvPdQIjxHqBYvI9YeBBtdN1JwipwS-Ywhxiof8qDxOpirGVM3LmSxL3JYRgMUKrr1VTYTKHOLz4Gs98am18wVsLnwFSZirHsujttEzR0SJ~Os2UNaOVbpgyV3tVKNJ0pCBtQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Tracy Williams, the city’s fire marshal, and Kylie Tillama, assistant fire marshal with Riverside County Fire, told the Lake Elsinore City Council that the state has issued updated Local Responsibility Area (LRA) fire-hazard severity maps and that local agencies must adopt those maps within 120 days of receipt — establishing an adoption deadline in July.

Williams said the new maps expand designated high- and very-high-risk areas within the city and will carry new requirements tied to each designation. She said the maps “do not supersede the state responsibility areas” but will coexist with them and that local agencies may not reduce map coverage though they may increase it.

The presentation outlined layered requirements tied to map designations. Williams described the defensible-space framework and home-hardening guidance that will apply in expanded zones: a Zone 0 ember-resistant area from 0 to 5 feet around structures, a 0–30 foot “lean, clean and green” zone of removed dead or dying material and cleared gutters, and thinning out to roughly 100 feet for spacing of vegetation. She said some remodels or additions may trigger additional requirements. Williams said one new requirement in the high-fire area will take effect January 1, 2026, and the city is “highly recommending people do it now.”

Assistant Fire Marshal Kylie Tillama explained materials guidance for the 0–5-foot zone: \"a wooden vinyl fence wouldn't be allowed in that 0 to 5 foot space,\" she said, and noted final regulations are pending Board of Forestry rulemaking with anticipated releases and a public workshop. Tillama said the 0–5-foot rules are aimed at creating an ember-resistant zone where “you can have nothing flammable.”

Councilmembers pressed staff on enforcement and homeowner obligations. Williams said maintenance in the high-fire zone is recommended and that in very-high-fire zones maintaining defensible space is required; enforcement would take place through the city’s weed- or hazard-abatement program and could result in notifications and code-enforcement fines where violations are identified during abatement actions. On responsibility for vegetation on larger adjacent parcels — such as levees or common open space — Williams said responsibility depends on prior agreements, tract maps or CC&Rs and encouraged residents to seek city assistance to identify responsible parties.

Williams summarized outreach steps: the maps were published with a 30-day public-comment window at issuance, and the city has 120 days to adopt and forward materials to the Board of Forestry. She said the maps expand local-area designations by an estimated 20–23 percent for Lake Elsinore and directed residents to the city and Riverside County Fire websites for interactive maps and more guidance.

Councilmembers asked for additional public examples and photos to clarify what compliance looks like for ordinary yards and emphasized the city will provide resources and keep public comment open through the adoption process.

The presentation repeatedly framed the map updates as state-mandated: Williams and the council noted the mapping and rule framework derive from state law and Board of Forestry processes, and that local adoption is required rather than discretionary.","City staff and Riverside County Fire presented new Local Responsibility Area (LRA) fire hazard severity maps, explained new building and defensible-space requirements, and said the city must adopt the maps within 120 days of receipt (deadline in July). Councilmembers asked about enforcement, homeowner responsibility and fence materials.","actionData","errors"]
