Sheriff Captain Northup told the council that Calimesa recorded 14 Part 1 crimes in April: two robberies, one assault, two burglaries, one vehicle theft and eight larceny thefts. Year-to-date Part 1 crimes were 95, the captain said. He added that two robbery incidents involved known suspects and that the two burglaries were of businesses.

The sheriff’s office also conducted a crime-suppression sweep on April 24, issuing one traffic citation, seven parking citations, and making four arrests on outstanding warrants. The office assisted code enforcement and reminded the public that DUI enforcement would be active for Cinco de Mayo.

Fire Chief O'Connell reported operational activity for the year and said the department has responded to a large share of medical-aid calls. He said the department’s brush engine is “catastrophically out of service” and that the vehicle will be returned to the federal Federal Excess Personal Property (FEPP) program; the department will bring alternatives to the council later.

Chief O'Connell also described the fire-hazard severity zone mapping process. He said the city received correspondence from the Building Industry Association of Southern California asking whether Calimesa will consider changes to the local responsibility area fire-hazard severity maps submitted to the state fire marshal on March 24. The chief told council the city will follow the public-comment process and comply with state requirements tied to what the chief referred to as \"Senate Bill 63.\" He told the council the city must be legally compliant while public comment and appeals proceed.

No formal council action was requested at the May 5 meeting; the reports were informational and councilmembers thanked staff for their work.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Calimesa City Council Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","The Riverside County Sheriff’s Office reported 14 Part 1 crimes in April in Calimesa; the city’s fire chief said the department’s brush engine is nonoperational and must be returned to a federal program, and described the state fire-hazard severity mapping and public-comment process tied to a senate bill.","taxTitle","Calimesa City, Riverside County, California","taxId",72214,"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},6247557,"Residents tell Calimesa council new rent-stabilization rules may shift upgrade costs to mobile-homeowners",561,609000,1170000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3212795-3ae5c1d91b242a1309a776c5be7e1f0a&start=609&end=1170","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3212795-3ae5c1d91b242a1309a776c5be7e1f0a/thumbnail_609000.jpg","/articles/6247557/Calimesa-City/Riverside-County/California/Residents-tell-Calimesa-council-new-rent-stabilization-rules-may-shift-upgrade-costs-to-mobile-homeowners","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6247557-20ca36b08de5094e2b822aa1f41e1bc0/orig.mp4?Expires=1771185458&Signature=bL~v-6Tk0Sl7cfB~y28cOmv4Ja6Yv4XHTZrV5rUQeM14KDNP-QT~x-VA4xtbfNvur2BvahX14s~MTR~2rKHmd5M7KJB6hTKeD3vonQes80fLk2ZpdxRlq8bozXV1Qgs~7K67kej8bBjhJ~CNzhoKav96oltHSqB0vMwRjZD9gQeE4hiY5Iq9Ha9YIxD~MalUWG0t~t7lKKh2Q-sefiOck7a2LfYXz5MzGGym49gYCgelpVlN7vSWtFJUD1f3phLwqthpAzEL1uU7hjhVDgFUkcTLxG8DFZ8NbhjBJBlZB54vf1lWsjTlEMKfj~ti9QPozrdfGvu6aT4q2cVmEpQUmQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Several residents at the City of Calimesa council meeting on May 5 urged the council to clarify provisions in a new rent-stabilization ordinance, saying it could shift the cost of park upgrades to mobile-home residents and that notice and voting thresholds are unclear.

Larry Fraeckel (spelling in the record), a resident, criticized the ordinance’s process and said the rule permits a park owner to undertake upgrades and recover costs from homeowners if the change is approved. \"What it doesn't say is...who pays for it,\" Fraeckel said, adding that the ordinance requires 51% approval but does not clearly specify whether that majority must be of all homeowners or only those who attend a vote.

Harvey Dalton, another resident, said the city should do more to inform residents about council meetings and said rent-stabilization decisions should not be “put in the hands of one person.” Donna Johnson, who identified herself as a resident, said the Housing and Community Development (HCD) department previously required a park owner, identified in public comment as Peter Wang, to correct violations and that the current owner was now seeking reimbursement of previously required repairs. Johnson said the owner is seeking reimbursement at 7.5% interest amortized over 15–20 years for work she said the prior owner performed and that the new owner did not complete.

All three speakers raised similar concerns: unclear notice language in the ordinance, potential for upgrades to be financed by homeowner loans rather than park-owner funds, and whether the 51% approval metric refers to all homeowners or only to those present at a vote.

Councilmembers did not take action during public comment. Staff and council members acknowledged the concerns and indicated policy and procedural clarifications could be considered through future agenda items or staff reports.

The speakers requested clearer notice language and fairness safeguards for mobile-home residents; the transcript shows these concerns were voiced during the public-comment portion of the meeting and were not part of a council agenda item.","Multiple residents at the Calimesa council meeting said a recently changed rent-stabilization ordinance may allow park owners to charge residents for park upgrades, that approval thresholds are unclear, and that the Housing and Community Development department has previously cited a local park owner for code violations.",{"_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},6247562,"Yucaipa Valley Water District updates Calimesa council on ASR Phase 1 drilling near Roberts Road",404,442000,846000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3212795-3ae5c1d91b242a1309a776c5be7e1f0a&start=442&end=846","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3212795-3ae5c1d91b242a1309a776c5be7e1f0a/thumbnail_442000.jpg","/articles/6247562/Calimesa-City/Riverside-County/California/Yucaipa-Valley-Water-District-updates-Calimesa-council-on-ASR-Phase-1-drilling-near-Roberts-Road","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6247562-e5b56e5a103ec54ed2932ebe9742ca45/orig.mp4?Expires=1771185458&Signature=Mgqe7Y~RiWpd2gbqkGciuixnqxTvE4yhwhWZw8Nul-N-eIJAHcgfdoG7ulM0tgV4qhfhwoDI3lOASU1yZiZFnly5KDBiWq6q1Yf8gI-aOWjKTipZBPeJ7seitNFJTul3HPlXXk2be-eRTPjnMyEGYiu42bPoWnaz9xUU8qCY0I9J0XFhLxvoAOa9kJX7ov0hZgIjRuVUXzgJMrugndMxGlNVzkpiILdTcJY~UCV5di~MxDbJS7iPFZF9zmyq3qATRqDn~jbMY1ta1KD2hsDLIF8emOr-Wva6a0x~5E4t2GoRoWCb2Dq4JHRSXnWNWAKXL1ai9xfcyJVi5P9lMx~vAw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Yucaipa Valley Water District on May 5 briefed the City of Calimesa council on the status of Phase 1 of its aquifer storage and recovery (ASR) project near Roberts Road in Calimesa.

Joyce McIntyre, a board member of the Yucaipa Valley Water District, said the Phase 1 design uses three ASR injection wells to recharge the groundwater basin with recycled water. During summer months the wells can be operated in reverse to extract stored recycled water to meet peak demands, McIntyre said.

\"The ASR project, Phase 1 located near Roberts Road in the City of Calimesa will allow the groundwater basin to be recharged with recycled water through the use of 3 ASR wells,\" McIntyre said. She told the council the project was awarded to Lane Christian Company on Dec. 17, 2024, and that Lane had acquired necessary permitting and began drilling three injection wells in March 2025.

McIntyre said Geoscience is providing daily updates to the district and that pilot borehole drilling reached a total depth of 1,000 feet on April 1, 2025. She described Phase 2 as a future step to develop production wells to recover recharged potable water after an appropriate subsurface residence time, in compliance with drinking-water regulations.

McIntyre said construction crews are working 24 hours at the site and that security measures are in place to discourage trespassing. The district has scheduled a site tour for council members and others; staff provided a picture and indicated soil-sample boxes are available for review on the tour.

No council action was taken; the presentation was informational. Staff said permitting, required testing and engineering review will continue as Lane completes each well.","The Yucaipa Valley Water District told the Calimesa council that three aquifer storage and recovery (ASR) injection wells are being drilled near Roberts Road; contractor Lane Christian Company began work March 2025 and a pilot borehole reached 1,000 feet on April 1, 2025.",{"_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},6247566,"Calimesa council withholds extra funding for concerts; directs use of upcoming community grant process",1448,1601000,3049000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3212795-3ae5c1d91b242a1309a776c5be7e1f0a&start=1601&end=3049","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3212795-3ae5c1d91b242a1309a776c5be7e1f0a/thumbnail_1601000.jpg","/articles/6247566/Calimesa-City/Riverside-County/California/Calimesa-council-withholds-extra-funding-for-concerts-directs-use-of-upcoming-community-grant-process","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6247566-5283648c7b1f4505ad5ce442c7a85a49/orig.mp4?Expires=1771185458&Signature=KvEGXzoaRLhKa7BRa34aa7F5rKvap9lwE7bl~ZghPf88iP1vsuySlAKs006INtU2YBffKod9EvAQ0ZB2q32OXKsh2IwClooMN6W79SrJHrrpGMQANoURAfhUalzj8kPQx7Oiddu6P3n8fPWLazhqwvU8iLvwTsFeQFr5ZoWRM8Xl8qbyPTbgaZ1c9fHl-hS4htHYCHUyUNo8jm9opEjk0ndpfMhCNMpwY0UbS4D~q34RxAiEzIUQjAvIQKJkqoapBPdZf21GCfj2HyDCLA3kO1LslW~Ae1Pz6vgnjiH7HBYUyqSkr-UHVQgFhA~l8bdVTdFiiO~iuAaCUBpMomzeHA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The City of Calimesa council on May 5 declined a request for extra municipal funding for the Calimesa Culture and Performing Arts Association’s 2025 Concerts on the Green and told the group to apply to a forthcoming competitive community partnership program next fiscal year.

The request came after city staff summarized the association’s prior funding. Staff said the association received $8,000 in fiscal year 2023–24 and that the association is requesting $8,000 earlier than usual for 2025 because it plans an earlier season and relies on the city contribution as “their primary funding source.”

Steve Negrete, president of the Calimesa Culture and Performing Arts Association, told the council the group has staged concerts for about 20 years and that volunteer effort and city support have been central. “Vitally for us to function, we have to work with the money from you guys or basically we don't exist,” Negrete said at the meeting.

Council members said they support the idea of community concerts but expressed concern about relying on one-time appropriations and about equity across nonprofit applicants. Several council members said the city is developing a community partnership program that will open a competitive, budgeted process for nonprofit requests in FY 2025–26, and they preferred to use that program rather than award additional funding outside it this year.

Following discussion, the council did not approve any additional contribution for the association for the 2025 concerts. Staff had provided a draft resolution with the contribution amount left blank; councilmembers instructed staff instead to include public entertainment grants in the upcoming community partnership program and to advertise that program citywide.

The council also advised the association to pursue sponsorships, donations and other fundraising to cover near-term needs, and said future city support would be evaluated through the formal competitive process.

The council meeting packet included a letter from the organization dated April 7, 2025, and staff noted that the city previously approved an $8,000 contribution on July 15, 2024 for the 2023–24 series. No formal appropriation was enacted at the May 5 meeting.

The council’s next scheduled budget workshop is May 19, when staff said the community partnership program framework will be further developed.","The City of Calimesa council declined a request for additional one-time funding for the Calimesa Culture and Performing Arts Association’s 2025 “Concerts on the Green,” and asked staff to include nonprofit funding in a competitive community partnership program for FY 2025–26.","actionData","errors"]
