James Armour, representing Inland Compassion, reported the nonprofit served 495 individuals year-to-date and said the group received a donated 12-person bus to support outreach and housing referrals. Armour said Inland Compassion plans to apply for the Homeless Housing Assistance and Prevention Program (HHAP) grant and requested the council add an agenda item to authorize the city to serve as a reference on the application, which requires three references with knowledge of the applicant’s work. Armour originally cited an RFP deadline in May and then corrected the timeline to early June. City staff advised that because of the tight timeline any council-level approval would require a special meeting rather than a regularly scheduled session.

Tenants from Northwoods Apartments brought complaints about billing for water, trash and sewer and parking charges. Doreen Armstrong said she is on a fixed income and that her May water/trash/sewer bill exceeded $500; Catalina Santana said her studio’s monthly trash charge was $135 while others in the same complex were charged far less. Staff took the speakers’ contact information and said they would follow up with the tenants and management.

Diana La Cava of the Moreno Valley Historical Society urged the council to secure a loose screw on a plywood covering a window at the Alessandro Adobe on Hendrick Ranches property near Cottonwood and Moreno Beach, saying a single screw needs to be replaced to keep weather and vandalism out. She described the adobe’s historical significance and asked only for “a simple screw gun and maybe a drywall screw” to keep the building weather-tight.

Council and staff agreed to follow up on the requests: staff said it would connect Inland Compassion with city staff to discuss next steps for references and to explain scheduling constraints, will follow up with the tenants at Northwoods Apartments and coordinate with code enforcement or contracted vendors regarding the adobe repair.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City Council May 20, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Speakers at the May 20 public-comment period urged council action on homelessness outreach and an RFP reference request, reported rent/utility overbilling at Northwoods Apartments, and asked the city to make a minor repair to the historic Alessandro Adobe.","taxTitle","Moreno Valley, Riverside County, California","taxId",3981,"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},6537947,"Moreno Valley council adopts formal summer meeting-schedule policy, will cancel July meetings",228,3767000,3995000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3411648-adb98734b4c840fc0ea108cc9c9c0f30&start=3767&end=3995","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3411648-adb98734b4c840fc0ea108cc9c9c0f30/thumbnail_3767000.jpg","/articles/6537947/Moreno-Valley/Riverside-County/California/Moreno-Valley-council-adopts-formal-summer-meeting-schedule-policy-will-cancel-July-meetings","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6537947-7ba360ed758455fc591377830479de9f/orig.mp4?Expires=1771137077&Signature=WRhx5jkoSQWIEbN3LDHdQNrQYrSnY9it29X~VsED-~NB9rZfE~A9JS205uf4BGTA-s7yFs4awuBs2Axpg8gmFVqcKrWslFLLm8Gn9QODvqW7JY5vGsGzxqJhB6RwB3w81b5UDv0m46aZixfQbC~IGBP6M-c~AiUYwsRZ3xIQpLxXnYZ3G~RM~CwAh~4V7TNk8Hz73zFxa24iXQBWuu58WlvIMg~CasQ25pjTc9IBQ9RFAaKEKRJHEHVJEga6jYlhLPo9MU0qukcb7NpAhGX7IOnb8~zm29Um8qZ3cisbsMGvrOjrhCLkRMDzunL9tVsB4GenlORbmPuhLNqZMYxebg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Moreno Valley City Council on May 20 adopted a policy establishing the city’s summer meeting schedule, formally canceling regular council meetings in July and the first regular council meeting in August as part of an annually published calendar.

City Manager Bridal Mohan presented the policy as a transparency measure to make the annual recess dates clear when the council and staff prepare the yearly calendar. “When we’re establishing our annual calendars, it is well known ahead of time, when summer recess occurs,” Mohan said, describing the policy as aligning with historical practice while allowing special meetings if urgent business (for example, election-related items) requires council action.

During public comment, some residents urged caution. Community activist Roy Bleckard said the city’s extended summer recess harms public engagement and urged the council to limit the break if possible. Luis Palomares spoke in favor of the staff recommendation. Council members discussed the practicalities of summer scheduling and the need to retain the option to call special meetings; council members said staff will still be available for urgent matters.

A motion to adopt the summer-schedule policy passed unanimously. Council members said the policy will be applied when staff drafts the city’s annual calendar and that special meetings may be called as necessary to address time-sensitive items such as election deadlines.","The council adopted a policy to set an annual summer recess that cancels July regular meetings and certain study sessions, with provisions for calling special meetings if urgent business arises.",{"_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},6537952,"Council confirms annual parcel taxes, lighting and landscape assessments and moves delinquent solid waste charges to county roll",293,3193000,3486000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3411648-adb98734b4c840fc0ea108cc9c9c0f30&start=3193&end=3486","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3411648-adb98734b4c840fc0ea108cc9c9c0f30/thumbnail_3193000.jpg","/articles/6537952/Moreno-Valley/Riverside-County/California/Council-confirms-annual-parcel-taxes-lighting-and-landscape-assessments-and-moves-delinquent-solid-waste-charges-to-county-roll","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6537952-c65d4d4c288bb1cce6e531df715c9378/orig.mp4?Expires=1771137077&Signature=Gw-mPCyUZIWmdIdu9nR8wffHp~1os5XHV4YV8LBnjfnjL5uwx1oHOLgPaonOoH3xR911IdybhrhzdBhzED-IbzdsaG79JGXSAbCm5M5OfOTSSplm2qpeCtR43GB~iirUF7p-gKPP3RINgCGWe5Fff51zJ6YSilezywRXHyGy56y8niiY2b2jv77Dp7d1qHjNnwQ0IJBbSNIj6Rr~Htw6aGt7ROqGjvB8caKNGySnS0FGKP7HvrRcyv8iEM2Egt28hnJhtWp8nNWy40CzteJPlybkeQiA3VuHus-g7jBMvJ-WzuUYvg80-1XU0a0qHb7DwFKp8dKKtD0lNWbIHmgIdA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Moreno Valley City Council on May 20 held and closed three routine public hearings and adopted resolutions to continue parcel taxes and district assessments for Fiscal Year 2025-26, and confirmed a report to send delinquent solid waste charges and abatement costs to the Riverside County tax roll.

Dina Hill, the city's chief financial officer and treasurer, presented the solid-waste delinquency item and said the process is conducted annually in spring and fall per the municipal code. Hill told the council there are 143 properties going through the abatement process and “over 6,000” currently with delinquent solid waste accounts. Property owners have until June 26, 2025, to resolve invoices with the franchise waste hauler before the city certifies remaining charges to the county for placement on the 2025-26 property tax bill.

Hill also presented the Community Services District (CSD) parcel-charge continuations for zones A and C and parcel charges for zones D, E, M and S. Staff explained the proposed levies are continuations of current charges with only routine inflationary adjustments where previously authorized by the qualified electors. The applied parcel-charge rates support parks and community services, arterial street lighting and landscape maintenance in designated zones.

The council also considered routine annual confirmations for Lighting Maintenance District No. 2014-01 and Landscape Maintenance District No. 2014-02. Staff said the resolutions set maximum and applied parcel-charge rates and authorize the county to place the charges on the property-tax roll.

All three public hearings closed with no public testimony for the latter two items. The council voted unanimously to adopt the resolutions to continue parcel charges and to confirm the delinquent solid-waste and abatement report for county assessment. Votes for each motion were recorded as yes from Council members Bernard, Gonzales, Delgado, Mayor Pro Tem Baca Santa Cruz and Mayor Cabrera.

Staff said the CSD parcel charges fund ongoing services and reserves as specified in district budgets, and that landscape maintenance frequency depends on available funding for each maintenance zone. The city indicated it will file certified resolutions and reports with the County of Riverside Auditor-Controller by the county’s stated deadlines.","At public hearings the city confirmed parcel charges for community services district zones, lighting and landscape maintenance districts, and authorized delinquencies for solid waste accounts to be sent to the County for assessment.",{"_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},6537957,"Moreno Valley approves initial funding to clean freeway underpasses, seeks Caltrans reimbursement",125,2937000,3062000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3411648-adb98734b4c840fc0ea108cc9c9c0f30&start=2937&end=3062","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3411648-adb98734b4c840fc0ea108cc9c9c0f30/thumbnail_2937000.jpg","/articles/6537957/Moreno-Valley/Riverside-County/California/Moreno-Valley-approves-initial-funding-to-clean-freeway-underpasses-seeks-Caltrans-reimbursement","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6537957-a13c507c2e0fa34982e3a6f6c20ec618/orig.mp4?Expires=1771137077&Signature=fpSowr4BVveEWTH3aUsixmVX-v6zIXMVBJzA-AaLDD8iNTVqzY4pD2u~2JTX-8lPVNV~Q856UuxR~PHMYSPcS4Bm4ytY2703cuAe~XzJIZicqqxNeK2vCa-1t5WfXnY~tpYKlH0pCHoRerQbyk8mOehdBylQyIcRPHeJyr8IdQeu24usXvgJKVbwaPeWft18W6bPwI4lkUvhKxHX0qR3jQLyWxUYMkU7zHh~03jJk5zvubV-9n-~Yq-irg0odBamhAhTJ3a84GJ-vVqmNXi1sCRW1LY7x7kGVYZb~9hqeXgoEVwWhueKw5y6ZY2SlsKesOIuzOeY6QPRJDIyiJZdsA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Moreno Valley City Council on May 20 approved a consent-item request to fund cleanup and outreach at freeway underpasses and other state rights-of-way, with staff to seek reimbursement from Caltrans.

Council member Delgado said the item, identified on the agenda as I-16, would allow the city to step into persistent encampment and litter problems on the Highway 60 corridor and then request reimbursement from Caltrans. “I just wanna comment on I 16. I think it’s a great thing that, our city is doing if this passes,” Delgado said during the consent-calendar discussion.

The council discussion said the staff request starts at $150,000 as a funding allocation to allow the city to perform cleanup and outreach on state-owned facilities and then submit costs for reimbursement. Mayor Pro Tem Baca Santa Cruz said staff would “ask for the moon” in negotiations with Caltrans and also noted legislative work (Senate Bill 569) that could provide additional reimbursement pathways for local jurisdictions.

City staff explained the program would target underpasses and off-ramp areas that are on Caltrans right-of-way and therefore outside the city’s regular maintenance jurisdiction; the city would initially cover costs and pursue reimbursement from Caltrans’ District 8 and related state programs. Council members said the off-highway, state-owned locations often persist even after typical city cleanup efforts, and they praised the item as an attempt to fill that gap.

The consent calendar, which included this item and multiple routine grants and closures, passed unanimously: Council members Bernard, Gonzales, Delgado, Mayor Pro Tem Baca Santa Cruz and Mayor Cabrera voted yes.

The city said it would pursue reimbursement and coordinate with Caltrans and with ongoing state legislative efforts that could provide additional tools for jurisdictions to respond to encampments on state rights-of-way. Staff indicated the $150,000 amount is an initial request and could be adjusted through negotiations or subsequent amendments.

Council members and staff indicated follow-up reporting to the council would include the scope of work performed and any reimbursement received from Caltrans or state programs.","City council approved a consent-item plan to fund cleanup and outreach under Highway 60 and other state-owned rights-of-way and said it will seek reimbursement from Caltrans and pursue broader state reimbursement tools.","actionData","errors"]
