Votes at a glance: council adopts CIP and approves consent calendar; Town Center entitlements pass 5‑0
Summary
At the June 3 meeting the council approved the consent calendar (including a five‑year veterinarian services contract for the animal shelter), adopted a two‑year capital improvement plan and budget, introduced ordinances and certified the Town Center EIR; all recorded motions passed unanimously.
Moreno Valley — The City Council took several formal votes at its June 3 meeting. Below are the outcomes voters and stakeholders will likely track.
• Consent calendar — approved (5‑0). The council approved a full consent calendar that included multiple contracts and routine budget and procurement actions. Notable items discussed during public comment and council remarks included: – I‑14: Citywide pavement rehabilitation program — funding approximately $11,000,000 from SB 1 and other sources to rehabilitate streets across the city. Approved as part of the consent calendar. – I‑13: Fencing beneath freeway underpasses — added to reduce illegal dumping and improve pedestrian passability; staff will coordinate with Caltrans on cost sharing. – Animal shelter veterinarian services (contract) — public comment referenced a proposed five‑year contract and speakers urged expanding provider options; council approved the consent calendar containing the contract extension.
• J‑1: Town Center at Moreno Valley specific plan — approved (5‑0). Council certified the final EIR, adopted CEQA findings and mitigation, approved the general plan amendment and tentative tract map, and conducted the first reading of an ordinance to rezone the property to the downtown center specific plan. The vote to advance the project and perform the first reading passed unanimously.
• J‑2: Capital Improvement Plan and budget for FY 2025–26 and FY 2026–27 — adopted (5‑0). The council adopted a two‑year CIP program with roughly $55.8 million targeted for year one and $44 million for year two (total ~ $99.8 million). Staff noted the total universe of unfunded projects remains much larger.
• J‑3: Municipal code omnibus amendments and development‑agreement annual report — advanced (5‑0). Council introduced ordinances updating several municipal code chapters (titles 3, 8 and 9) and received the annual development agreement compliance report; the council voted to introduce the ordinance language and will adopt at a future meeting.
• J‑4: National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System regulatory rate schedule — adopted (5‑0). The council adopted the annual regulatory rates for submission to the county tax roll as allowed by property‑owner mail ballot proceedings; revenues are restricted for stormwater program activities.
Votes were unanimous on recorded roll calls unless otherwise noted. The clerk’s roll call shows the final vote tallies for each motion as Yes: Bernard, Gonzales, Delgado, Mayor Pro Tem Banca Santa Cruz and Mayor Ulysses Cabrera.
Items to watch: the Town Center ordinance still requires subsequent readings and adoption steps; the CIP contains large capital projects that will come back to council as individual contracts and appropriations. The animal shelter veterinarian contract was approved as part of the consent calendar; council discussion acknowledged that only one vendor responded to the city’s request for proposals and service capacity at shelters remains constrained across the region.
