The contract formalizes a statewide staffing change CAL FIRE is implementing and establishes a phased transition to three-platoon staffing at local CAL FIRE units providing city fire and paramedic services.

Chief Malinowski and city staff explained the operational change to council: the three-platoon model uses 56-hour work weeks and three rotating crews to provide consistent daily coverage and reduce forced overtime. City staff said the change does not increase daily minimum on-duty personnel for Yucaipa — the department will continue to ensure 10 city-funded fire personnel are available each day — but will alter crew scheduling to reduce frequent overtime backfill and provide greater depth of available staff to meet minimum daily staffing needs.

Staff described this as a statewide CAL FIRE directive for units operating under Schedule A agreements. The contract language reflects a fully burdened, top-step calculation on paper but city staff emphasized that the city bills actual costs and will phase in the staffing changes over multiple fiscal years. Staff made clear the agreement would be implemented in phases and that the city’s FY 2025–26 budget already reflects the first-year adoption of the new staffing approach.

Council and staff discussed operational details and fiscal management strategies. Staff noted the schedule shows a maximum possible cost if all positions were budgeted at top-step wages on day one; historically the city budgets conservatively and actual annual costs tend to come in below that maximum. The chief said the three-platoon model increases the pool of available firefighters and reduces reliance on forced overtime, which he described as a more stable approach to meeting minimum daily staffing and responding to incidents.

The council approved a motion to authorize the interim city manager to execute the Schedule A agreement. Staff will manage the phased implementation and return to council with budget adjustments and updates as needed.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City Council Meeting - 6/23/2025 - City of Yucaipa","oneSentenceSummary","The Yucaipa City Council approved a new Schedule A agreement with CAL FIRE on June 23, 2025, beginning a phased transition to three-platoon (56-hour) staffing intended to reduce forced overtime and increase daily staffing depth.","taxTitle","Yucaipa, San Bernardino County, California","taxId",4256,"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},6522731,"Yucaipa council denies special-event permit for overnight ‘Resonance’ campout after safety debate",3171,2937000,6108000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5067413-0320225fae57492352eb9cda6cd25e8b&start=2937&end=6108","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5067413-0320225fae57492352eb9cda6cd25e8b/thumbnail_2937000.jpg","/articles/6522731/Yucaipa/San-Bernardino-County/California/Yucaipa-council-denies-special-event-permit-for-overnight-Resonance-campout-after-safety-debate","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6522731-f71180cce1b4fdb01510e0dbbcf74638/orig.mp4?Expires=1771188869&Signature=leMLLefx9anPKAREY8cHrfNi-wPCRq0jnfIEIP3uFVLdfmxP7Ul1~YoeRwa0Pae0WCAGLEBQJ3BjnrdznIuA2HU9TNOHgNbbkMkgdMkNVOouaD8yit2lfUqmuBxnVaZSgnZvldhudzYx7FCA6wQ2K~feTl~2RGkftLKzKMT6KQAsLBrnIt482srbFflzlCMX3VmLoOrLCwhCkH5R~5A1HBFG2UnzPCUwxWbTDH6VhSTs~TFZG2KTooTQ1wX0iK~HW8q39ugnFspSNShTmU46cD8p1ypgovA4TCfLCMz4vYtz9K5qhlNDqk1d88iVK~eNyy1tb5pZJsunuJbMZa8-aw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Yucaipa City Council voted 3–2 on June 23 to deny a special-event permit for a weekend overnight camping event called “Resonance” proposed for private property at 32017 Live Oak Canyon Road.

The application, submitted by Inertia Presents LLC, proposed a multi-stage electronic-music and experiential event in October on property owned by Abraham Issa. City staff told the council the permit application fee had been paid and that departments including police, fire, community development and community services had reviewed the proposal and provided conditions. The applicant and property owner spoke in favor; the applicant described security, on-site emergency medical technicians and a harm-reduction nonprofit partner.

Council members split on whether the city had enough objective, verifiable information about public-safety outcomes at comparable events to approve. Opponents pressed city staff and the applicant for records of calls for service at previous events run by the promoter and for stronger public-safety guarantees; proponents cited the applicant’s commitments to pay for additional on-site law enforcement, provide 24/7 EMT coverage and install sound monitoring at property lines.

City staff and the applicant described specific safety measures in the application. The promoter said it would hire 24/7 police presence at its expense, contract a security team and provide on-site EMT coverage led by a paramedic identified in the record as Ken DeCoo. The promoter said it had engaged a harm-reduction nonprofit, End Overdose, to offer overdose-prevention training and support. The applicant and the property owner said earlier events had been held at the site without complaints; the sheriff’s office and city staff reported they had not been able to verify geolocated calls for service tied specifically to the promoter’s prior events in Los Angeles-area jurisdictions.

Council members expressed several concerns during debate: (1) whether “no calls for service” claims had been fully substantiated; (2) sound and noise impacts on nearby residences and canyon visitors; (3) the logistics and enforcement of overnight camping; and (4) whether approval would establish a precedent for similar large overnight music events in the canyon. Staff noted one recommended additional condition — that camping at the event be treated as transient occupancy for tax purposes — and also described other conditions already required in the permit template (security and EMS plans, insurance, and compliance with fire and sound rules).

After extensive public testimony both for and against the event and extended council discussion, a motion to deny the permit carried 3–2. The council took the formal vote to deny the special-event permit after an earlier procedural vote sequence; council recorded a separate motion to deny so the record would show a final determination.

The application materials and department reports remain on file with the city. The property owner and the promoter indicated they would remain available to answer questions and to re-apply, and several council members asked staff to consider whether a future ordinance or permit standard should be drafted to clarify rules for large overnight music events.

Votes and next steps: Council’s denial ends this permit application; staff said they will continue enforcing hearing conditions and that any future permit application would return to council for review. Several council members also requested staff draft potential permit standards or ordinance language to bring back for policy discussion.","After hours of testimony and a split vote, the Yucaipa City Council voted to deny a special-event permit for a private weekend camping music event planned at 32017 Live Oak Canyon Road.

Captain Walker (police) reported roughly 3,672 calls for service in April and 3,906 in May, with an average emergency response time of about five minutes over the two-month period. He outlined Part I crime counts and arrest totals for the months and said the department conducted a DUI checkpoint on May 23 funded by the Office of Traffic Safety. Walker also described the department’s solutions-oriented policing (SOP) team outreach: 29 transient-related contacts in April and 44 in May, and help securing shelter for several people contacted.

Chief Malinowski (fire) reported an increase in calls handled by the fire department (783 calls in April and 819 in May). He highlighted seasonal wildfire risk, described recent major incidents (vehicle extrication, residential structure fire) and said the department has been preparing public information (including a recent wildfire-focused podcast) to improve resident awareness of defensible-space and insurance issues.

City staff announced a new feature in the Yucaipa mobile app allowing residents to report illegal fireworks directly to the city and to attach photos. Staff and public-safety leaders said the new reporting option is intended to supplement sheriff’s dispatch reports and code-enforcement processes.

Council and staff discussed enforcement capacity. Trevor Benson, public-safety manager, and police staff said they had contacted Los Angeles-area agencies to try to verify call-for-service records for similar events and that locating geolocated calls tied to promoter events can be challenging; they reported no clear, event‑tied calls discovered in that outreach. Staff also said increased enforcement resources will be available this season: additional code‑enforcement officers, deputies and CAL FIRE resources to assist with fireworks enforcement. City staff urged residents to use the app to submit photos and location information to help enforcement.

Council members and public commenters emphasized the goal of preventing fires in the city’s high-fire-hazard environment and noted confusion in some public channels about the new fines and enforcement approach; staff and the mayor asked residents to treat the higher fines as a deterrent rather than a revenue source.","Police and fire chiefs reported higher April–May call volumes, continued transient outreach and planned enforcement for illegal fireworks.

City staff and Ryan Miller, housing and economic development analyst, briefed the council on the state-required process. AB 1486 (effective Jan. 1, 2020) requires public agencies to notify the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) when public land is declared surplus and to provide a 60‑day notice to a statutorily defined list of qualified entities (including housing developers and certain nonprofits) so those entities can submit letters of interest for affordable housing development. Properties that meet statutory exemptions (for example, transfers to other public agencies) are processed differently.

Staff said the parcels in tonight’s item were originally purchased with capital-improvement project funds; portions needed for right-of-way have been retained for the projects and remaining portions are being offered to enter the surplus-notice process. If HCD‑notified parties submit letters of interest, staff will bring those notices to council (in closed session when appropriate) to discuss potential responses. If no viable offers are received through the 60‑day notice-and-negotiation period, the city may later return to open session to consider disposal and sale; proceeds would return to the CIP fund that originally acquired the property.

Council members asked about public transparency and listing the properties online. Staff said they can post surplus lists on the economic development website and use MLS/broker channels for sale of single-family residences or commercial parcels. Staff also warned that selling city property below fair‑market value can carry project and prevailing‑wage consequences for future development, and noted the city uses on‑call consultants (Bender Rosenthal/BRI cited) for appraisals and broker services.

The council approved starting the surplus-notice process and directed staff to proceed with HCD notification and to return with any letters of interest.","Council approved initiating the Surplus Land Act notification process under Assembly Bill 1486 for several parcels acquired for capital-improvement projects. Staff said the 60‑day HCD notice will allow qualified entities to express interest; proceeds from any eventual sale would return to the originating CIP fund.","actionData","errors"]
