Lisa Almeli, the citywide accessibility coordinator, presented the ADA annual report and said the city completed a comprehensive ADA self-evaluation and transition plan in 2024. \"The plan requires the city to incorporate accessibility improvements into long range planning and to bring facilities with structural barriers into compliance over a 20 year period,\" Almeli said.

Almeli told the council the 2025 report made two key adjustments to the transition plan: project scheduling changes that moved Walnut Park and police department upgrades to earlier phases while deferring improvements at the Water Environmental Building, and removal of 12 sites (including 11 homeowners association-owned parks and the Preserve Community Center) from the city's plan because those properties are not city-owned. The report also tallied recent work: removal of 94 barriers at 11 city facilities, remediation of 129 curb ramps, and repairs to 417 sidewalk segments. The report lists 13 projects with accessibility improvements in their FY26 scopes.

Councilmember Comstock moved to receive and file the ADA annual report; Councilmember Flores seconded and the item passed unanimously.

On a separate matter, staff reported receiving new evidence in an appeal of Planning Commission approvals for the Chino Gateway terminal project (resolution No. 2025-058; PL24-0097, PL24-0098, PL24-0120). The applicant asked the council to continue the hearing to Oct. 21 to allow review of new materials. An appellant supporter told council the group was \"happy to continue the hearing until October 21.\" Mayor Pro Tem Burton moved to continue the public hearing to Oct. 21; the motion carried unanimously and the public hearing remains open.

The council approved the consent calendar with a motion by Mayor Pro Tem Dan Burton and a second from Councilperson Lucio. Mayor Eunice Emileu registered an abstention on item 2 because she missed the Sept. 2 meeting; the rest of the consent calendar passed.

The council also approved several community support fund donations. Mayor Pro Tem Burton moved, and Councilperson Flores seconded, a $500 donation to the American Cancer Society for the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer fundraiser; the council approved the donation. Additional community support contributions approved on councilmembers' requests included a $250 donation to the American Cancer Society and a $250 donation to the Saint Margaret Mary car show (moved by Councilperson Comstock) and $250 to the Rotary Club of Chino Valley plus $250 to the American Cancer Society (moved by Councilperson Flores); all passed by council vote.

City staff reported a closed-session update: the city council conducted a performance evaluation of the city manager and discussed labor negotiations concerning the unrepresented employee (city manager) and various labor organizations. City Attorney Galante reported the council provided direction in closed session and that no further reportable action was taken.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City of Chino Council Meeting - September 16, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","At its Sept. 16 meeting the Chino City Council received and filed the city's 2025 Americans with Disabilities Act annual report, continued a public hearing on the Chino Gateway terminal project to Oct. 21, and approved several community support donations, among other routine actions.","taxTitle","Chino City, San Bernardino County, California","taxId",4242,"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},6467883,"Chino council approves $553,019 reimbursement to Lennar for University Park public improvements",290,2316000,2606000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5783949-91070b21b322da26915a3a99390cc935&start=2316&end=2606","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5783949-91070b21b322da26915a3a99390cc935/thumbnail_2316000.jpg","/articles/6467883/Chino-City/San-Bernardino-County/California/Chino-council-approves-553019-reimbursement-to-Lennar-for-University-Park-public-improvements","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6467883-f196210bd9e54a0839dd190068c92640/orig.mp4?Expires=1776828944&Signature=jqyrn7L9xXSRA5LGJk08ihA2C9~~iZLw94vibWVmd03AsrGkuiHpM-N6huo44S7h-d~n-EguKtKBEQpwO06nWk6cqLdLrSjQf6Z6sjT74cFU3eVvkUp0H~brMVMPre1TRMSznHNwy82CLj3e2e6UzKvW3nbw0w3PpexisGJElODg3sVek4C4vUHtLhBggyGmmf7furbCp6CWyDvjij9ufXMMF7P02tsTo0WWQMqmnra9Fqiij8yKs82Nstxbwd2iyKhB~kY~LHAky6KZfvb6Uyld5KI~ON4OKNe9F7ngWOZSzeDHv5UuFwDjosuJ-kE91sCDHyQhEndsjL4n-QKXBA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Chino City Council approved a construction credit reimbursement agreement on Sept. 16 that will pay Lennar Homes of California $553,019.16 for DIF-eligible public improvements built as part of Tract Map No. 18972, known as University Park.

City contracts and DIF administrator Sylvia Ramos told the council the reimbursement reflects a reconciliation of developer costs, DIF credits and the city's nexus study estimates. \"Therefore, the staff's recommendation to the city council to approve the construction credit reimbursement agreement with Lennar in the amount of $553,019.16 and authorize the necessary appropriations to facilitate the reimbursement in accordance with the terms outlined in the agreement and the city's DIF program,\" Ramos said.

The work associated with the tract includes intersection and signal work and a 16-inch waterline on Euclid Avenue. Ramos told the council the city accepted the required public improvements as complete on Nov. 15, 2022, and the developer submitted documentation of actual construction costs that city staff and consultants verified. Under the city's DIF ordinance, a developer that finances a DIF-eligible facility is entitled to DIF credits; the city capped credit value at the estimate included in the city's nexus (DIF) study.

Ramos outlined three DIF-eligible improvements related to the tract: the traffic signal at Euclid and Eucalyptus, the signal and intersection improvements at Euclid and Edison, and a 16-inch waterline in Euclid Avenue. The Fern and Eucalyptus signal was constructed under the city's capital improvement program (CIP); Lennar made a cash deposit negotiated as part of a 2024 settlement agreement and Ramos said that deposit covered the developer's portion of the signal cost.

Councilperson Flores moved to approve the agreement; Councilperson Lucio seconded. The motion passed by the council.

Staff told the council the reimbursement will be authorized in accordance with the DIF program and that the agreement formalizes the credits and cash reimbursement due to the developer. The staff presentation said the reimbursement is the result of a detailed reconciliation of DIF-eligible public facilities and actual costs.

The council did not attach additional conditions to the agreement; city staff will process the appropriation and payment consistent with the terms described in the agreement.","At its Sept. 16 meeting the Chino City Council approved a construction credit reimbursement agreement with Lennar Homes of California for Tract Map No. 18972 (University Park) totaling $553,019.16 under the city's Development Impact Fee (DIF) program.","actionData","errors"]
