After public input and council deliberation, the body voted 4–1 to proceed with the city’s events calendar with no changes.

City Manager Brian Mohan had briefed the council on news reports of federal enforcement actions in the region and said local law enforcement and the city cannot participate in federal immigration-enforcement operations. Public commenters and commissioners raised conflicting views: several urged the city not to cancel events and to stand visibly for community cohesion, while others said they feared unannounced enforcement actions could put attendees at risk.

Councilmember Gonzales framed the choice as one of community resolve: “Now is not the time to cancel these events,” he said, urging the city to continue cultural programming. Other council members said they were troubled by the tactics reported elsewhere and recognized constituents’ fear, but ultimately voted to keep events in place and not send a message of capitulation. The motion to continue events carried 4–1; Councilmember Delgado voted No.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City Council August 19, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","After receiving public comment about recent federal immigration enforcement activity, the council voted 4–1 to keep its calendar of public events as scheduled and not cancel or postpone city-sponsored celebrations.","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},6587361,"Council directs staff to revise ordinance on commission annual reports after commissioners say staff-led reports omitted their input",518,2359000,2877000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5604056-f2f72220840065322f64d55c3f177f38&start=2359&end=2877","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5604056-f2f72220840065322f64d55c3f177f38/thumbnail_2359000.jpg","/articles/6587361/Moreno-Valley/Riverside-County/California/Council-directs-staff-to-revise-ordinance-on-commission-annual-reports-after-commissioners-say-staff-led-reports-omitted-their-input","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6587361-2c1cb547f02b40283c553d75164d8496/orig.mp4?Expires=1771091854&Signature=N9KNXmPcuUYlINLXr3PUKjvoorlNABKDc3tEVnPksZrvjd6dgARnU0z5gY2bA86pb3a4cIuTG7bTsnH~Ja8S1I0WypFb-8mthHEuegCmG-EcjFuFTecI8-YouZtPf7ZlNj5ZIDsHG9wxZheiHYWsiUCsnJojyTxBvsLClPdTuq~hJsfytqOScDcDxtQDvFtHj8a1wK--WdfLWdut0Zrace~R585Ph-0uyrURE8eBhEi1vYXMY6zzEs7oiFIIby5kq4PcZREGMte2e3KL3wGVDcn-VVIKXB8kmjYFj1cW4L2wR~5d0QjIbShljObSRg2Qpaa58OL-oIzeVnhUsGtsqQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Council members and several commissioners pressed staff on Aug. 19 after a parks, community services and trails commission member said the annual commission report reached the council agenda without commissioners having reviewed or approved it.

Commissioner Riley Peek told the council he was surprised to see the report posted and said the commission had not participated in preparing or approving the document. “If the report is on behalf of the commission, the commission should be the one to submit that report,” Peek said during public comment.

Councilmembers discussed the drafting of Ordinance 10-22, which establishes annual reporting by department liaisons; staff said the ordinance does not specify the mode or medium of report and that department liaisons had prepared the packet summaries by reviewing commission minutes. Staff and council agreed to direct the city clerk to prepare a schedule so two commissions would present per meeting and to draft revisions to Ordinance 10-22 specifying timing and content. The city clerk and city attorney said staff would bring a draft revision and schedule back for council consideration, with a suggested first reading on Sept. 2.

Council took the consent calendar as a whole and later approved the approach to revise the ordinance and schedule future commission presentations.","After commissioners said an annual advisory-commission report reached council without commissioners’ review, the council directed staff to draft revisions to Ordinance 10-22, schedule two commission reports per meeting, and return with a first reading of amendments by Sept. 2.",{"_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},6587366,"Council approves $58,650 to secure Hendricks Ranch Adobe after commission finds safety risk",1867,13405000,15272000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5604056-f2f72220840065322f64d55c3f177f38&start=13405&end=15272","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5604056-f2f72220840065322f64d55c3f177f38/thumbnail_13405000.jpg","/articles/6587366/Moreno-Valley/Riverside-County/California/Council-approves-58650-to-secure-Hendricks-Ranch-Adobe-after-commission-finds-safety-risk","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6587366-b1edce43e9eb6b71d8244ebf756de655/orig.mp4?Expires=1771091854&Signature=ID~Iv9deIRmI6OxvvyAO8ehRwwrK-8Te6geLTtZCXSam6kwSIqLYxFG7ZCHy8QD9MuAwgeZ4qxytpW0Bug3z6jRpcysbnvmZgtCRwxJTDMSKlsebeT0m54U9MAAw39or6g8oCyrzsV11w6lu6i~5A2bm3Bd-S8s~4Tlvh2nwCx6tJKlNRIRyC9eS1MALE5kS1SflaLntMSGPv8V~fRBqNSZQaQJDkdPWSa6vT4pn5KUylSMtOilUVuaXyzOO4rRq7gnS22yaEZbz-am68U2EYMRCUhbFAb3RLhFD0BxJ0WfKupfBxi7eHdNeE2hSQK69ob55BNBcDJZgmCDc5RmsEg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Moreno Valley City Council unanimously approved an appropriation of approximately $58,650 on Aug. 19 to secure and stabilize the Hendricks Ranch Adobe after the Environmental and Historical Preservation Commission identified immediate safety and trespass risks.

Vice Chair Nathan Urena, speaking for the commission, said the structure is designated as a local landmark and recent vandalism has left doors and plywood removed, creating a risk that would worsen with aftershocks or a moderate seismic event. “Our main concern is the stability and the overall safety around the property,” Urena said in the commission’s presentation, and commissioners asked the council to fund fencing, boarding, and lighting to reduce trespass and injury risks.

Staff explained the adobe sits on an MBU (Moreno Valley Utility) property and noted longer-term options are constrained by utility expansion plans; relocation of the structure would carry much higher costs if the property must be used for future infrastructure. Staff said today’s appropriation would fund boards, better locks, security lighting and a fence. The council approved the one-time appropriation and directed staff to return with future options if the commission pursues state-level designation or additional preservation steps.

The vote was unanimous. Councilmember remarks noted the city should pursue partnerships and grants when possible and that securing the site now does not commit the city to full rehabilitation or relocation.","Following a recommendation from the Environmental and Historical Preservation Commission, the City Council unanimously approved a $58,650 appropriation to secure and board the Hendricks Ranch Adobe and reduce public-safety risk while the commission studies preservation options.",{"_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},6587371,"Council renews and expands community workforce agreement, adds specialty-contract thresholds and 10-year term",1964,7623000,9587000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5604056-f2f72220840065322f64d55c3f177f38&start=7623&end=9587","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5604056-f2f72220840065322f64d55c3f177f38/thumbnail_7623000.jpg","/articles/6587371/Moreno-Valley/Riverside-County/California/Council-renews-and-expands-community-workforce-agreement-adds-specialty-contract-thresholds-and-10-year-term","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6587371-bc70f7e39e37bee9f91b00dc2c65eae0/orig.mp4?Expires=1771091854&Signature=GO5g~Q8Us0N53db0caE3YqRz6FdZvw6IheFBH5NfKcQHq3XK27H3l6q01A5axjMtWjIDGZECxv5o~16l8FEdWVLP9IDLXMvC9RRQntqcwz96DHy0ZonhOg3I64hmKwiAzRs8QDUChw8hEsUUV0w9IiPVlDlPKMbb2LRQ6FmJWb8Kh0Iqnn094WyD0V5w-2guZ5aWJ53HNyws7Gc7Dqpc5UhB8yL1AKbwSsnrCKgoLlKKTzAiLP-tWMhWmfpEPab0zQxzC--l9AVL2av7~5dUzXAzPNcp322q~thXCfdzeBZ6WfdllU7sjXEVLCboosG5aHbjl3ZbtMoXIJr3Y9ei4Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Moreno Valley City Council unanimously approved a revised Community Workforce Agreement (CWA) on Aug. 19, renewing the city’s labor partnership and adding changes negotiated over the summer with building trades representatives.

City Manager Brian Mohan summarized negotiated revisions, saying one substantive change in section 2.2.1 adds “as well as all prime specialty contracts that exceed $100,000 $150,000 and all subcontract, flowing through these contracts as well,” extending the agreement to cover smaller specialty contracts that previously fell below a $1 million threshold. Mohan said the change responds to concerns that many specialty trades (flooring, roofing, drywall) never reach previous $1 million thresholds and therefore were not captured by the original agreement.

The updated agreement also lengthens the contract term: rather than a five-year limited term, the document will automatically continue every 10 years with a mandated five-year review to ensure compliance with law, changes in trades training and workforce development, and drug-workplace-agreement provisions. The CWA retains the city’s local-hire and veteran goals (the staff presentation noted a recommended local resident participation goal of 30% on qualifying projects) and expanded connections with workforce-development programs and the city’s Business & Employment Resource Center (BERC).

Union representatives and building-trades delegates told the council the agreement supports apprenticeships, training and placement for veterans and disadvantaged residents. Several speakers at public comment — including union and apprenticeship representatives — said the agreement provides stable pathways to careers and local employment. The council approved the revised CWA by unanimous vote.","The City Council approved a revised Community Workforce Agreement for Moreno Valley after summer negotiations; substantive changes set new thresholds for specialty prime contracts ($150,000) and extend the agreement term to 10 years with a required five-year review.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6587375,"Moreno Valley adopts 2025 California energy code amendments requiring higher-efficiency air conditioners",4254,2947000,7201000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5604056-f2f72220840065322f64d55c3f177f38&start=2947&end=7201","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5604056-f2f72220840065322f64d55c3f177f38/thumbnail_2947000.jpg","/articles/6587375/Moreno-Valley/Riverside-County/California/Moreno-Valley-adopts-2025-California-energy-code-amendments-requiring-higher-efficiency-air-conditioners","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6587375-6848c43faeba4735529c14dd26ac0783/orig.mp4?Expires=1771091854&Signature=I72G3SUwJG8Y2ghhJbRHmxzFjXbkIKwf6m3DyqRy9SgEb8Ka6xv9RXLICpxZa5u4mFRDd0PY~cDu79UositUm7AebwObtHjNj8aZwt9Oe01jtR1cCDAwI2O~c-61nZItx-Ky84KP1GZ15abWuvkPj6EgCc~uHgNzmhbyvSXwuhjlFDzLdMOos~jGnA00KQiq1EPjhhycXqd9~GRUU~p9b5TJ0debvlWyRoo4mP9hBpgIbikdRr4Cc7cpynJ3CMPoemV19XSVbSBnKgFsb2sdxbVUWS4QHAJKgmI8JtDXrFGq-AC9iCLyv7KqMfhBWyrZSpzokYp035-su5KIYXLkyQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Moreno Valley City Council voted 4–1 on Aug. 19 to adopt ordinances updating the city’s local code to incorporate the 2025 California Energy Code and to add local amendments requiring higher-efficiency equipment or heat-pump alternatives when single-family air-conditioners are replaced.

City Attorney Steven Quintanilla told the council the ordinances adopt the state energy code “with amendments that will require newly installed air conditioners within single family residences…to comply with certain energy efficient measures that are cost effective,” and said adopting the rules before Sept. 30 helps the city align its forthcoming climate action plan with state expectations. Quintanilla also explained the packet included both a regular ordinance and an urgency ordinance so the city would meet the Sept. 30 timing even if legal challenges occurred.

The ordinance provides two compliance pathways at time of replacement: (1) install an upgraded traditional HVAC system that meets additional efficiency requirements, or (2) install an electric heat pump that provides heating and cooling. Councilmember Eunice Delgado asked for clarification on homeowner choices, saying, “So my air conditioner breaks. So now this ordinance passes. My air conditioner breaks. I'm required to 1 of 2 things?” staff and consultants explained the measure is a “time-of-replacement” reach code that does not ban gas appliances and applies when permits are pulled; the city’s building-inspection process enforces permit requirements and inspections.

City staff and outside consultants provided an analysis concluding the measures are cost effective when rebates and expected energy savings are included; staff said the ordinance will become effective Jan. 1, 2026, giving time for outreach and contractor preparation. The city manager and council members urged public education and coordination with local suppliers and contractors so replacement equipment will be available locally.

Councilmember Delgado voted No; Councilmembers Bernard, Gonzales, Mayor Pro Tem Baca Santa Cruz and Mayor Cabrera voted Yes. The urgency ordinance and regular ordinance were adopted in the same meeting.","The City Council voted 4–1 to adopt an ordinance and urgency ordinance amending local adoption of the 2025 California Energy Code to add energy-efficiency requirements for replaced single-family air conditioners, with an effective implementation date of Jan. 1, 2026.","actionData","errors"]
