She said residents were upset and she asked staff to follow up.

Johnson also said residents reported people were roping off and leaving items at the park pavilion to reserve shade seating and that some non‑English speakers had posted signs and tablecloths; when residents removed unattended items some of that material was cut, she said. Johnson asked the city to clarify how the public could determine whether the pavilion had been reserved.

A staff speaker responded that the dog‑run fencing has not yet been fully installed because the city initially received only one roll of fencing; additional rolls were ordered and staff expected installation later in the week. On the pavilion reservations, staff said Calimesa had suspended formal park reservations after the COVID closure and never resumed the reservation process because of limited staffing and the additional overtime costs that weekend enforcement would require. Staff said the current reservation fee does not cover the administrative and enforcement costs and therefore reservations are not currently being actively processed or enforced.

Staff encouraged residents to continue documenting incidents and said staff would use the parkâ€™s enclosed bulletin box and other notice methods to provide clearer information about reservations and pavilion use. The council and staff said they will consider solutions, but no formal policy change or vote was taken at the meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","June 16, 2025 City Council Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","Residents told the City Council the small dog run at Mountain View (Fourth Street) Park remains unrepaired and that people are roping off the pavilion, blocking public use; staff said fencing materials were ordered and park reservation enforcement was paused after COVID due to limited staffing.","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},6197261,"Resident urges city to reconsider gas station approval near RV park over air-quality concerns",166,135000,301000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3853632-19a58e5c216736a0c150eecf8cc53508&start=135&end=301","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3853632-19a58e5c216736a0c150eecf8cc53508/thumbnail_135000.jpg","/articles/6197261/Calimesa-City/Riverside-County/California/Resident-urges-city-to-reconsider-gas-station-approval-near-RV-park-over-air-quality-concerns","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6197261-9193d0ae7123d6b660ff6382c54b6ddb/orig.mp4?Expires=1776188031&Signature=OvSJ612V56oJjQJ-Kr2alHU~4gQAVZ-JyvCZ9kWUc~2Y5f2R3TMAHPc4KPyJcDUGIlHWC5iLi-g3k4YyHDANOInojqvbxDT9x6sYuKGB0cBMTBWv~ov89cODH9Upd33G2uTI5dfsBl6pfpmkfQ2piI~LaltpKM9d8ADHOGq3EWeKZNLRMQu-MYhsniTvE94uweBeMjxDqALrf7AyCrm7ijx73~pTwYJW0I8Wl-K9Tb9LXKyqN4cQ3wq6aAev2AbqbcdfUhdq5CawdAnOQY8621mBl3g985m5ZvEdPPS7~9fMx47DYgc7N6GqTWHAz~-6AI24JSrp10fCPpUfYoKOPg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Arthur Guerrero, a 35‑year resident of Calimesa, told the City Council he was concerned about a proposed gas station approved by the planning commission near an RV park and several homes.

\"I'm wondering why it was approved next to an RV park and I think 3 or 4 houses around it,\" Guerrero said. He said he had contacted the South Coast Air Quality Management District and received a notice saying emissions met standards, but he said he worried that multiple nearby stations could increase toxins and harm fruit trees, vegetable gardens, bees and wildlife on his property.

Guerrero asked whether residents had been given an opportunity to vote on the project. In response, staff clarified that projects of this type are typically processed through the planning commission and, where applicable, require a conditional use permit; that is the action the planning commission took in this case, and the project did not require a citywide vote.

Guerrero said he recommended residents watch a city land‑use workshop posted on the city YouTube page for background on the California Environmental Quality Act and the planning process.

Council and staff did not reverse the planning commission action at the meeting. The exchange in public comment clarified the cityâ€™s process and directed residents to existing materials about CEQA and planning procedures.","At the City of Calimesa meeting a longtime resident urged the council to reconsider a planning commission approval for a proposed gas station near an RV park and nearby homes, citing air quality and impacts to trees, bees and residents; staff said the project had a conditional use permit and did not require a citywide vote.",{"_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},6197266,"Calimesa raises select fees, adopts CPI adjustment to master fee schedule",370,1014000,1384000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3853632-19a58e5c216736a0c150eecf8cc53508&start=1014&end=1384","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3853632-19a58e5c216736a0c150eecf8cc53508/thumbnail_1014000.jpg","/articles/6197266/Calimesa-City/Riverside-County/California/Calimesa-raises-select-fees-adopts-CPI-adjustment-to-master-fee-schedule","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6197266-0ba1671d14130a659bf34afc366a5ca0/orig.mp4?Expires=1776188031&Signature=mQrG1iBzNykxmiYOdyxcSH9S~vsk4vFPUNK0Snu8BwGxMTa8t-AHnnbNQE82mSi60AtzJUaUDSjPJDwLzvT-Z0hP1QJG-scFUfGx6AabuC7EdTdrUDAbXFA9umAfbZZo2AT1vjJV3F87lpWtjy8TRv6hfYnPClnVhLs5~M1m8xVh3g5g3imewRng13XAuQXnjQB5ursaJzXc1WXfxKoVpbAoeT5v4HOazEFOlhXKAW62-aMEG0hmXrHWyIC--5GAb50KOES6E43ruoGq5GBpmEvAfkbxQCqbbH-XN-yXSvJnuyDOnocwTuOGoLSagsFZKdcFxNHu~G5~yC2M4JdrDg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The City Council of the City of Calimesa voted to update its master fee schedule, adopting a 2.9% consumer price index adjustment for the Riverside–San Bernardino area and modest additional increases to several targeted fees.

City staff said the changes follow a full cost-of-service analysis completed last year and are part of a multi‑year phase-in toward full cost recovery. Staff recommended raising the cityâ€™s indirect cost recovery rate from 18.6% to 20% (noting full cost recovery is about 25%) and adjusting several fees that were previously set below full cost.

New or increased items specifically mentioned in the staff presentation included an updated weed‑abatement administrative fee (last adjusted in 2006), an increase to the delinquent trash collection processing fee, introduction of a demolition permit fee to help ensure compliance with South Coast Air Quality Management District Rule 1403, and higher construction and demolition waste deposits. Staff told the council these changes were intended to align fees with staff time and regional practices while phasing in costs to avoid abrupt impacts.

During public comment, residents asked clarifying questions about who pays the administrative fees; staff responded that the fees are charged to property owners in violation (for weed abatement) or to those who are late on trash payments as applicable, and the fees cover the cityâ€™s administrative costs and county assessment processing. The council asked questions and then voted to adopt the resolution; staff said the changes will take effect Sept. 1, 2025.

The council approved the master fee schedule update and the resolution implementing the listed fee changes.","The City Council approved a 2.9% CPI adjustment to the master fee schedule and adopted modest increases to specific fees, including weed abatement administrative fees, delinquent trash processing, construction and demolition deposits and a new demolition permit fee; effective Sept. 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},6197271,"Calimesa council adopts balanced FY 2025–26 budget, successor agency plan",1873,1450000,3323000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3853632-19a58e5c216736a0c150eecf8cc53508&start=1450&end=3323","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3853632-19a58e5c216736a0c150eecf8cc53508/thumbnail_1450000.jpg","/articles/6197271/Calimesa-City/Riverside-County/California/Calimesa-council-adopts-balanced-FY-202526-budget-successor-agency-plan","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6197271-e6596548d9af3d9b4eb4da422d4733ad/orig.mp4?Expires=1776188031&Signature=B8mmKVG2PT7xozfM5xxnW796X8tnCC662fhJfxF2~5jod92Elq6gupVQGtcQ6xO7V5vvCdg0RNE0ADHpHU--eoU3AMfvaWZNAk7JHiC-~h~plrB03-gUcY8SBVZEl~3eV6U0924i5Zn~k-8dIvKT8e-rCfMZQMbK8bav1VU40z6nxiDW2TMJCEjpJ~fr6wHIuu8nAp8yC8Ro4MkZ9Ga49O5OE0fW~m9JLGYq5PU8Rhv5mYCXi1HDyq~dyYv69fyYziFdywPneHZlpOHjrMkFnbnVVoheyZS9I5s1a~8gPHMqcteljFuCbB6vsB80l0Q1gGpoIq~O-o89R2~CcNxF6A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The City Council of the City of Calimesa on Tuesday adopted the city’s fiscal year 2025–26 operating and capital budget and the Calimesa Successor Agency budget after a public hearing and staff presentations.

Finance Director Celeste Reed and City Manager Will Cobo summarized the proposed budget, saying ongoing revenues exceed ongoing expenditures by about $128,000 before small allocations; after set-asides the structural surplus was estimated at roughly $83,000. Reed said the city projects roughly $6.4 million in reserve funds as of June 30, 2026, and a total of about $7.4 million available across general, capital and vehicle-replacement funds.

The presentation said property tax and sales tax growth that fueled revenue gains earlier in the decade is leveling off. Reed and Cobo told the council that about 90% of the city’s revenue increases since fiscal 2021 have gone toward public safety and insurance: increases of roughly $975,000 for police and about $1.3 million for fire, plus substantial insurance cost increases. Reed noted the city added services during the period, including a “POP” police officer and an advanced life‑support paramedic program for fire, which contributed to the higher costs.

The council discussed anticipated future pressures, including a projected 7% increase in the county sheriff contract for FY 2026–27 and ongoing insurance and personnel costs. Reed said the city has budgeted modest one‑time expenditures totaling about $450,000 for equipment purchases, studies and capital items, and is phasing fee and indirect cost adjustments to move toward full cost recovery.

After public comment and council discussion, the council voted unanimously to adopt the appropriation limit, the city operating budget, and the successor agency budget. The council also approved the budget-related amendments to the prior fiscal year as presented by staff.

Council members and staff emphasized that while the budget is balanced for FY 2025–26, continued restraint and planning will be required to absorb projected future increases in public safety contracts and insurance.","The City Council of the City of Calimesa approved a structurally balanced operating and capital budget for fiscal year 2025–26 and the successor agency budget, after staff presentations and discussion of projected costs for police, fire and insurance.","actionData","errors"]
