\"We're all guilty of speeding at times, but there's lots of children, parents, a lot of people park on the street,\" Ferguson said, describing recent vehicle accidents and overturns on the street. She said she had asked City Works about speed bumps and was told traditional speed bumps were not allowed because of fire engines and ambulances, but that a lower-profile speed hump used in other jurisdictions (about 4 inches tall) had been successful.

Ferguson said she serves on her HOA board and that City Engineer Cameron Adams had inspected Parkview Drive after her request. Adams told the meeting he has stop signs in the works and expected installation within about two weeks. \"He came down and cruised the street, checked out the neighborhood, and he has in the works, which hopefully will be installed in the next two weeks,\" Ferguson said, paraphrasing the engineer's response.

Public Works staff also encouraged residents to report concerns through the city's Alert LE app, which routes service requests to crews for faster response. Council members noted enforcement options as well; Council Member Johnson said enforcement officers and motorcycle patrols could be used to address repeat speeding.

No formal council action was taken; staff follow-up and engineering reviews were described during the public-comment and consent portions of the meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City of Lake Elsinore - City Council Meeting - May 13, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","A longtime Parkview Drive resident urged the council to allow speed humps (lower-profile \"speed humps\") to slow drivers; City Engineering inspected the street and staff said stop signs are in the works and urged use of the Alert LE reporting app for traffic concerns.","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},6561538,"Fire chief: Lake Elsinore averaged 4.6-minute response time; fuel-break crews treated 15 acres",177,529000,706000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3289758-cf8b28a617a90d55ae41f93a43c5a595&start=529&end=706","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3289758-cf8b28a617a90d55ae41f93a43c5a595/thumbnail_529000.jpg","/articles/6561538/Lake-Elsinore/Riverside-County/California/Fire-chief-Lake-Elsinore-averaged-46-minute-response-time-fuel-break-crews-treated-15-acres","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6561538-65edc00a990a56f8dda014367a71e59c/orig.mp4?Expires=1771061515&Signature=UpuMyz45W3onpMCJ8-UWYLRpNdAHysEHXDYnbOW0uBOXYTtBnlB62Cb-e0lON2v3AbwOCfwVr5dwB99uwiWynbSwOohIJZlvzpWEAQYrF8oHwWqiYucv0FkW~ufmFcjJ9BJA7InHydRZ6I1LI9lCoao8bNet9gI6W9mpa4IMM-Jom2N24x918QftUbKjzBuYfLxVYSBHDKgZEpX6iIpJZeNivTZ~A0UsVIWkO3LZRJ~WZovlTceM12FoYZigmXU1MbU89v-UQRZTiLhhMzPsZaRlQ8a4IMh3iQUo~B4~CNL0Mx1wUTjYsLnO~2tLC2PEUBIiFmkOp0OE9GHzhUPRuA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Riverside County Fire officials told the Lake Elsinore City Council on Tuesday that the department responded to 1,769 incidents from Jan. 1 through March 31, averaged a 4.6-minute response time across the city and continued work on a fuel-break program near residential areas.

Chief Dustin Reed presented quarterly incident statistics and mutual-aid numbers for the first quarter. \"You had a total of 1,769 incidents within the city of Lake Elsinore,\" Reed said. He said medical aid calls composed about 75 percent of the call volume, vehicle collisions about 9 percent and the city experienced nine vegetation fires and four residential structure fires during the period.

Reed outlined automatic and mutual aid activity with neighboring agencies: he reported assistance provided to and by Menifee, Wildomar and Riverside County resources, and noted Lake Elsinore crews assisted Canyon Lake 19 times while Canyon Lake assisted Lake Elsinore eight times in the quarter.

On fuels reduction, Reed said crews have treated 15 acres for the Lake Elsinore fuel-break project, indicating the treated area is narrow and directly behind homes in some neighborhoods. He described the work as part of a larger multi-hundred-acre program that uses a combination of county-funded contractors, Cal Fire agreements and crews from the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR). \"We've treated 15 acres. However, that 15 acres from the backs of the communities' homes, it's from 0 feet to 300 feet that they're working on that,\" Reed said.

Reed also addressed longer-term wildfire response strategy, noting a shift toward year-round fire season and expanded aviation resources. \"I don't see the fire season being six months anymore. I don't see it being nine months anymore. It's gonna continue to just be a year round fire season,\" Reed said, adding that aircraft and rapid vegetation dispatch help keep small fires small.

Council members thanked Reed and his staff; no council action was required. Reed said the department will continue coordinating with county partners and contractors to expand fuel-break work and maintain mutual-aid arrangements.

Key figures from the report: 1,769 incidents (Jan. 1'Mar. 31 2025), 4.6-minute average response time, 129 vehicle collisions, nine vegetation fires, four residential structure fires; 15 acres treated on Lake Elsinore fuel-break to date, part of a larger multi-hundred-acre program involving county grants and contracted crews.

Questions and next steps: Reed said pricing, crew assignments and further acreage to be treated depend on grant schedules and agreements with Cal Fire and CDCR crews.","Riverside County Fire reported 1,769 incidents from Jan. 1 to March 31, a 4.6-minute average response time, mutual-aid statistics and progress on the Lake Elsinore fuel break; Cal Fire crews and CDCR crews are working portions of the fuel-break program, staff said.",{"_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},6561541,"Lake Elsinore council advances stricter sidewalk vendor rules, cites public health and safety",284,2040000,2324000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3289758-cf8b28a617a90d55ae41f93a43c5a595&start=2040&end=2324","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3289758-cf8b28a617a90d55ae41f93a43c5a595/thumbnail_2040000.jpg","/articles/6561541/Lake-Elsinore/Riverside-County/California/Lake-Elsinore-council-advances-stricter-sidewalk-vendor-rules-cites-public-health-and-safety","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6561541-18a0aee6178c895a7efba8a59961e68c/orig.mp4?Expires=1771061515&Signature=nEMEJOkOzENOk8vN6RfTYHxrFHz7NQ7FyMAy6I-d~BxVw5K~~QuHgwHg8YaaCf3sqlKZ3mPV5MjyWobehr8rvMNF0fOc2zk~vWmIY6Ewxfh8mDz~moJ83OGeT~phZN3ZHjUuFsY2z6V0yfjDO5pvppDQ37ecFUaef7HHG~tuOEmIigs61qIDXFbWLt~lpmciF1xUAY9ZmdIY-1zdxat9Vm5Ts4eR1SlyA2ILp-takFifNN8Tr0LAOImXgWOHoTrFom5HAOPd6rwlHLjhfDBo389FhUkHckmt4~hnJa~dCCnmi60wKVVnz52aP19VhkW65JqQM1uMEgEtiDsugbmALw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Lake Elsinore City Council on Tuesday voted 5-0 to introduce changes to the city's sidewalk vending regulations, adopting revised licensing requirements, new operating conditions, a list of prohibited locations and strengthened enforcement measures, staff said.

DeMarce Ibrahim, presenting for the Community Development Department, said the proposed amendments update Title 5, Chapter 5.31 of the Lake Elsinore Municipal Code to address recurring problems staff has encountered since the city's original sidewalk-vendor ordinance in 2019. \"Since the adoption of the ordinance, the city's code enforcement department has been dealing with several issues related to sidewalk vending activities including operating without a city business license, unsanitary and nuisance conditions, setting up unsafe locations, no ADA access and ongoing complaints from residents and business owners,\" Ibrahim said.

Ibrahim told the council the changes clarify definitions, expand application and license requirements, add operating conditions, identify specific streets and locations where vendors cannot operate for safety reasons, strengthen enforcement measures and add an impoundment process for vendor equipment in specified circumstances. The staff report traces the amendments to the state law that prompted the city's 2019 ordinance: Senate Bill 946 (SB 946), which allows local regulation but requires reasonable licensing.

Council members praised staff for the draft. Mayor Pro Tem McGee said the prohibited-location list is \"very comprehensive, very well done.\" Council Member Johnson moved to introduce the ordinance by title only and waive further reading; the motion was seconded by Mayor Pro Tem McGee and passed 5-0.

Staff scheduled a vendor workshop on May 21 to walk vendors through the amended requirements and application process. The ordinance as introduced will return for further consideration and final adoption at a subsequent council meeting; the introduction vote waives additional reading but does not itself adopt the final municipal-code changes.

Key clarifications: staff said the amended code will specify application materials required for a vending license, enumerates operating conditions (including ADA access expectations and sanitation), lists streets and public-right-of-way locations where vending is prohibited for safety reasons, and creates an impoundment procedure for repeat violations.

Council members repeatedly framed the measure as a public-health and consumer-safety step, citing prior cases where food handling raised concerns.

Next steps: staff will hold the vendor workshop, receive public comments and return the ordinance for second reading/adoption at a future meeting.","City staff recommended amendments to the municipal code to clarify licensing, operating conditions and prohibited locations for sidewalk vendors; council voted 5-0 to introduce the ordinance by title and waive further reading.",{"_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},6561543,"Lake Elsinore to refinance $89 million in CFD bonds, city says",593,1439000,2032000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3289758-cf8b28a617a90d55ae41f93a43c5a595&start=1439&end=2032","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3289758-cf8b28a617a90d55ae41f93a43c5a595/thumbnail_1439000.jpg","/articles/6561543/Lake-Elsinore/Riverside-County/California/Lake-Elsinore-to-refinance-89-million-in-CFD-bonds-city-says","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6561543-4fd58089323949743747a9d9eb2b0743/orig.mp4?Expires=1771061515&Signature=abLQ8RkQLGgTbjpcaO0Hf5ZPZGwq0W4kkhCueKuBKyCYNlc~HjZ9wtBX2bfuNSz7ntilMtkv6MDm5PVYzRmZsAqQYDGRwIuCrqFV8phnueLEtv9U2tu345GJ5RVAeV~mOSp6F1dWYzcg6m5J44J9SCcmAaL7bezlIcJVD0E1NpEEtQU8Ys5aPiIA-t8L62Gz67-jX1kbIR~xjKwgeqpa6jRQdgSzbQkOdUoipe2JnOmECO7N5ovzzhuaRmekrvQgYSSePOc1HimZPUPlM7UTwJeQHmJ0Hx0mvGuukJDAQ~E2Jv~cW~NTanxavHPAzK-CANpOhJnPUK5En4Xk3XQ0sg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","City financial advisors told the Lake Elsinore City Council on Tuesday that the city will move forward with refinancing roughly $89 million in outstanding Community Facilities District (CFD) bonds that become callable in September 2025, an action officials said will lower special taxes for property owners and free money for local capital projects.

The refinancing, presented by Michael Bush of Urban Futures and the city's financial team, is expected to produce approximately $16.4 million in gross savings to property owners and to free a little more than $10 million for eligible capital and infrastructure work across the city. Council members voted unanimously to adopt the related resolutions and to convene the city's financing authorities.

Michael Bush, the city's bond adviser, told the council the transaction would refinance about $89 million across nine CFD improvement areas including Canyon Hills, Rosetta Canyon, Serenity, Alba Hill Ranch and City Center Townhomes in Vizcaya. \"This refinancing is expected to generate $16,400,000 in gross savings to property owners,\" Bush said. He said savings per parcel would vary by district and estimated a range between about $174 and $680 annually for affected homeowners.

Bush and staff said current market conditions support the refinancing now, that pricing would happen later this month or in early June depending on markets, and that the refunding plan would not extend the original repayment terms. The city expects a rating in the A category from S&P Global Ratings for the CFDs and reported receiving a 100 percent surety bid for the debt service reserve, which reduces the need to place cash in reserve accounts.

City officials said the refunding would not affect the general fund; bond issuance costs and any up-front costs would be covered from bond proceeds. \"There's no impact of this item on the city's general fund,\" a staff member stated during the presentation.

Council members praised the work. Council Member Sheridan congratulated the finance team, noting the savings per parcel and cumulative benefits. Council Member Manos described the transaction as a strong opportunity given current true interest cost estimates. Mayor Pro Tem McGee and Council Member Johnson also thanked staff and said they supported moving forward.

Actions taken: the council adopted eight city-council resolutions to authorize the refunding, and separately the council approved companion actions through the Lake Elsinore Facilities Financing Authority and the Lake Elsinore Public Financing Authority. Each vote was recorded 5-0.

Votes at the meeting: the council's resolutions (items 1'8 on the staff report) were adopted on motions and recorded as passing 5-0. The financing-authority resolutions also passed unanimously.

What happens next: bond pricing and closing will follow market conditions and the issuance timeline described by the advisers. Staff said property owners should begin to see lower CFD special tax obligations on bills when the new bonds are in place and once the savings are applied.","City officials told the council they will refinance about $89 million of community facilities district bonds callable in September 2025 to lower special taxes for up to 4,000 parcels and generate roughly $10 million for infrastructure projects; council adopted the required resolutions 5-0.","actionData","errors"]
