The students said their community-action project documented stormwater pollution from commercial and industrial properties and that their cleanup collected about 1,687 pounds of trash, including hazardous waste.

What they asked: Melissa Flores, a junior social work student who identified herself and a group of student volunteers, told council members that AB 1313 would empower the State Water Resources Control Board to better enforce industrial and commercial stormwater regulations and make responsible entities pay for cleanups rather than leaving the burden to local government or volunteers.

Why the students said it matters: Flores cited the Santa Ana River as an important water source for roughly 2 million people and said pollution from commercial sites can harm community health and water quality. She urged the city to publicly support AB 1313 and to coordinate with groups such as IE Waterkeeper on cleanups and monitoring.

Council response: Councilmembers acknowledged the comment and thanked the students for their work. There was no council action on the request during the meeting; the item was received during the public comment period for council consideration at a later date if staff or council choose to place it on a future agenda.

What was not decided: The council did not take a position on AB 1313 at the meeting and did not direct staff to draft a letter of support. City staff and council members noted appreciation for volunteer cleanup efforts and noted jurisdictional complexity when enforcement involves regional state agencies and commercial entities.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Jurupa Valley City - City Council - May 01, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","A group of junior social work students volunteering with IE Waterkeeper asked the council to support Assembly Bill 1313, which would increase enforcement of commercial stormwater pollution and shift cleanup responsibility to commercial entities; students said their cleanup found hazardous waste and roughly 1,687 pounds of trash.","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},6570982,"Council approves Measure A funding program list for 2025–26, staffs says Pacific Phase 2 to bid soon",308,2350000,2658000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3179446-54262a574e52c9dc5a59a69e7df0185a&start=2350&end=2658","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3179446-54262a574e52c9dc5a59a69e7df0185a/thumbnail_2350000.jpg","/articles/6570982/Jurupa-Valley/Riverside-County/California/Council-approves-Measure-A-funding-program-list-for-202526-staffs-says-Pacific-Phase-2-to-bid-soon","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6570982-f0b6291f5bbb79a0fad71c7cbc5bf6c7/orig.mp4?Expires=1770434934&Signature=NnbZpGdS4cQqp-WD584zI0djB4mcrsb0fC~4sPvctLVGtv-fl1vi2QQxlypHwRd3ndn4SK7SN6sYL0dl2uJSp-e3oVOMXvkJXlTakO3aYz3hyoTQHZWxbzQnY8A9AVAv6AEnwWV~QagDqH4raWIEHeDjs0zGzjQdjj5SCHXEx4KZJyPa1DPZczyFhMQqPLCVjalwOzOJ22yt9B8ta9j9g8gYANmVX6SMsR5xT6AgW6u-Ma1bQQrbjFCzwu~Kmyt7Sxop3vAxLrU13GrUZWaG7KpefVXE3YfItT84a6t-GZxGGjl2nWCbc0Dqr~1bH961inJhWsLSTUeOtD~f-6jQHg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Jurupa Valley councilmembers approved the city’s Measure A program — the annual list of locally planned transportation projects funded from Riverside County’s Measure A half-cent sales tax — during the consent calendar Thursday. Staff told the council the city receives about $3 million annually from Measure A and that the list submitted to the Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC) shows the projects tentatively planned for the coming year.

Why it matters: Measure A funds are dedicated to transportation projects. The program listing is required by RCTC so cities may receive the sales-tax allocation; it also helps staff plan which streets and projects to match with state grants and other sources.

Details and follow-up: Staff emphasized the list is for funding-flow purposes; individual project construction contracts will return to council for approval. Staff said Measure A does not fully fund large projects and that the city often combines Measure A with other funding (gas tax, CDBG, state grants) to complete projects. Pacific Avenue Phase 2 — which will add curb, gutter, drainage and sidewalks and will connect to Lemonite Avenue — is described as being near ready for bid and staff anticipated bringing a construction contract back before summer.

Council and community notes: Councilmembers discussed how Measure A is one of several funding streams used for street repair and sidewalk work and noted the city will re-submit project lists annually to reflect changing priorities. The council also discussed how Measure A often serves as matching funds on state grant projects.","The council approved the city’s Measure A five-year program listing (transportation projects) and staff said Pacific Avenue Phase 2 design is ready for bidding and expected to come back for a summer construction contract.",{"_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},6570987,"Council continues Pedley Town Center general-plan amendment after councilmember requests edits",2181,4419000,6600000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3179446-54262a574e52c9dc5a59a69e7df0185a&start=4419&end=6600","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3179446-54262a574e52c9dc5a59a69e7df0185a/thumbnail_4419000.jpg","/articles/6570987/Jurupa-Valley/Riverside-County/California/Council-continues-Pedley-Town-Center-general-plan-amendment-after-councilmember-requests-edits","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6570987-e82e723ef6d2e6458ca90b5f12254ff0/orig.mp4?Expires=1770434934&Signature=nJdPRZFzPJMgy5MMvh8ngEYlln9jwxFb5Ob9BC8GEgZXOgDd3KkctZnTOMdycfVO7gVOaE5jQFB0G9sHwqdpobH2pE46JJ164W4XdMZJ7mstXBUPp9SQdxYWXXJPiolI3r8KjYB-HvVrZlt~GHTZZj-MVWeEndWRmzdm-EbtQz8uDWV490MzQBAeN58h4VuGeIfbTdwHcf6Ym-BnJTS9z-VH3gX3m1M0qLL62GrcTDN4sBTLkTz0tS96ujMWBxCu41PViLvR~6-emx2O1XdIbDisIQ8Re--NL2uaMGJEFJdXrbA76G~7AnmFlVmWbvnt1Ksj4gIhG8gLSDKfVleAIw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Jurupa Valley City Council voted Thursday to continue the public hearing on the Pedley Town Center general plan amendment after members requested a series of clarifications and map revisions to the adopted draft. The plan—prepared with a Senate Bill 2 planning grant and staff and consultant input—will be revised to make clear that the graphics are illustrative long-range concepts and not approvals of immediate demolition or redevelopment of existing homes and businesses.

Background and purpose: The Pedley Town Center plan is intended to function as an area plan appended to the city’s land use element, providing long-range guidance for circulation, public realm improvements, and general land-use patterns in the Pedley town-center area. The plan was drafted after public outreach and earlier study sessions and had been recommended for adoption by the planning commission.

Why the council continued the item: Councilmember Armando Carmona requested multiple refinements to language and imagery across the plan. He asked staff to revise specific illustrations that a resident could reasonably read as showing existing houses and small businesses being replaced. Carmona asked for alternate illustrations and clearer text emphasizing phased, incremental change and protection of existing structures where appropriate. He asked that lot lines in some illustrative maps be removed or adjusted to reflect current zoning and property ownership so the plan does not appear to pre-define parcel consolidation or replacement.

Public participation: One nearby resident asked for clarification during the hearing about an L-shaped vacant parcel north of Limonite Avenue; staff and the consultant explained the plan shows conceptual options for how that large vacant area might develop over the long term and emphasized the plan is not a project approval. No contested public testimony opposed or sought immediate approvals during the hearing.

Council action and next steps: The council voted unanimously to continue the public hearing to a future, to-be-noticed meeting date and directed staff to work with Councilmember Carmona and the consultant (Civic Solutions) to produce revised figures and clarifying text. Staff said the scope of the requested revisions requires more time and that the item will be renoticed when revisions are complete.

What the continuation does not do: The continuation does not change the plan’s stated goals, nor does it adopt zoning or development standards; those regulatory changes remain a separate process. Staff confirmed that project-level entitlements would be reviewed against the plan once the plan and implementing zoning updates are completed.","Council continued the public hearing on the Pedley Town Center plan so staff can revise illustrative maps and text to clarify that the plan is a long-range vision and to add alternative illustrations that do not imply demolition of existing homes and businesses.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6570992,"Council sets city manager settlement authority at $35,000, requests quarterly PERMA updates",1019,3210000,4229000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3179446-54262a574e52c9dc5a59a69e7df0185a&start=3210&end=4229","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3179446-54262a574e52c9dc5a59a69e7df0185a/thumbnail_3210000.jpg","/articles/6570992/Jurupa-Valley/Riverside-County/California/Council-sets-city-manager-settlement-authority-at-35000-requests-quarterly-PERMA-updates","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6570992-5ebc40bb50e4af11fbb0c0c895d1b8e5/orig.mp4?Expires=1770434934&Signature=FTqjU-9cEOBN-JS75yJdLEYc2L1Unm1jOfFQJuOFek2bu8S~wZxnnyqhcE3rDDDdHM6hTN0v2LXr9qPn72juQFUbUZbPNeFJXirQmhg8aY~c8foGibAX~CrAXh4ie5Y1UD04lbt5SlagwLy2~433nIjAvsmwJlIudmr7uws4czjOZJjUL2si2BhZmuD5zDM0AtY6B1x9w~NS2gcVAO2a111o1OFoa3KfsWlxH2FFu7EIg5mIHLBE-tZVssG5MOhn0XCRn9sIXn~oFyL-HzDXBwxRlL3BxoRORqMY-UbcmSJ82fA42uZq0kN57il7qin5zfTe2fl15PyZgfkShf1B5w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Jurupa Valley City Council voted Thursday to increase the city manager’s settlement authority to $35,000 and to keep PERMA’s routine settlement authority at $10,000, after discussion about rising claim costs and insurance retentions. The council also requested quarterly reports on pending PERMA claims to improve awareness of the city’s exposure.

Why it matters: The change alters staff-level authority to finalize liability settlements and clarifies reporting expectations. The city is in a joint liability pool with PERMA; the pool’s reimbursement structure and increasing retention (deductible) levels—described by staff as phased increases—were central to the discussion.

Key points from the meeting: Councilmember Armando Carmona raised concerns about delegating settlement authority and asked for tighter controls. Tanya Bragg, the city’s human resources and risk manager, explained that the change was intended to increase the city’s involvement in settlement decisions as the pool retention levels increased. Bragg said the city historically authorized the city manager to settle up to $25,000; staff proposed raising that to $50,000 but recommended an intermediate cap after council questions. Bragg characterized the proposed change as giving staff more direct involvement rather than less.

After back-and-forth about recent settlements, retentions and the need for timely resolutions in some cases, the council amended the staff recommendation and approved the change with the city manager authorized to settle claims up to $35,000; claims above that threshold must return to council. Council also requested quarterly litigation reports from PERMA through staff so the council would have advance notice of large or pending claims.

Votes and process: Council approved the modified recommendation by roll call, with all five members voting yes. The change takes effect immediately for staff settlement processes; staff said they will coordinate the requested reporting with PERMA and the city manager’s office.

What the council did not decide: The council did not change insurance coverage tiers or PERMA’s retention schedule; those are pool-level decisions. The council asked staff to obtain quarterly updates from PERMA for informational purposes, not as a policy change to the pool.","After an extended discussion about liability costs and insurance retentions, the city council approved an amendment giving the city manager authority to settle claims up to $35,000 and instructing staff to request quarterly litigation updates from PERMA.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6570997,"Jurupa Valley council approves special-tax district for new Pedley-area development",23,433000,456000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3179446-54262a574e52c9dc5a59a69e7df0185a&start=433&end=456","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3179446-54262a574e52c9dc5a59a69e7df0185a/thumbnail_433000.jpg","/articles/6570997/Jurupa-Valley/Riverside-County/California/Jurupa-Valley-council-approves-special-tax-district-for-new-Pedley-area-development","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6570997-3ce7a773d0e210f2158eaf6a80619f0e/orig.mp4?Expires=1770434934&Signature=Ad8pE0s0Yx6SctBm8wEwse7Iir3Xg05BrCbo0Kodbj1DKsvqzHrRQeUd4ybPV2xwNTmGVBTkdUo8WFOw36L~1qEwuj-Xf04i9YkNcg2D7JmxegoeRNSnikwf8DHCukyfqnIlxCGC3ai-r6zvXx-qVjj1u4V-FyiFVsclTFEWhwCCP-qRGqjBwhuDY8M0rCD6hTrLuO-0cfkYlhSURjqBmfT88~c4xhu7ZcGdaySEJ1qNsCps1yphmZpP7WuoAcXwxooVLYwvUKKnWkdyULUl2DZ4afAgAFtV1tU5MhsKQ03AhT5LB7h1wAR9vm6cBPPZUaIHern~LJxkTiBco7lKRg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Jurupa Valley City Council voted unanimously Thursday to form Community Facilities District (CFD) PS2024-011 and to levy special taxes for the district, a financing tool commonly used to pay for public improvements tied to new development. The council adopted a series of resolutions and an implementing ordinance after a public hearing and a tabulation of one ballot, which supported the taxes.

The CFD, described in staff materials as generally located northeast of the intersection of Fifth Street and Opal Avenue in the Pedley area, will allow the city to collect a special tax on parcels within the district to repay bonds or otherwise fund infrastructure tied to the development. City staff said the public hearing followed the statutorily required steps, and no members of the public spoke on the item during the hearing.

Why it matters: CFDs are a frequent mechanism for funding infrastructure for subdivisions and other large projects; the formation typically obliges future property owners inside the CFD to pay the special tax. The council’s action clears a regulatory step so the developer and city may move toward implementing the infrastructure plan tied to the subdivision.

Details of the votes and steps: At the hearing, staff read the required resolutions and the city clerk announced the ballot tabulation: one ballot was cast and it was in favor of the special taxes. The council then adopted Resolution No. 2025-46 and 2025-47 (formation/levy steps), adopted Resolution No. 2025-48 (result and levy finding), and approved Ordinance No. 2025-09 (implementing ordinance) by roll call vote, with Councilmember Silva, Councilmember Sanchez, Councilmember Carmona, Mayor Pro Tem Barajas and the mayor recorded as voting yes.

What the council did not decide: The council’s action at Thursday’s meeting establishes the CFD and the mechanism for the special tax; it did not authorize bond issuance or set final bond terms. Any future bond sale, construction contracts or project approvals will come back to the council as separate actions.

Next steps: With the CFD formation adopted, the developer and city will proceed with the statutorily required administrative steps before bonds (if any) are issued and improvement work is contracted and scheduled. Staff indicated the item was routine and that the council would see construction contracts or financing documents in subsequent meetings if those steps are pursued.","The City Council adopted resolutions and an ordinance forming Community Facilities District PS2024-011 and approved special taxes after one ballot was cast in favor, enabling infrastructure financing for a proposed development northeast of Fifth and Opal streets.","actionData","errors"]
