City of Norco - City Council Meeting - April 15, 2026

The City of Norco City Council held a meeting on April 15, 2026, which included several procurement and budget-related discussions. Key procurement topics included the approval of amendments to the city's Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (TUMF) ordinance and fee schedule, with adjustments tied to construction cost indices to keep pace with inflation and costs associated with regional transportation infrastructure. The council unanimously approved the ordinance and resolution updating the TUMF fees. Additionally, the council reviewed and adopted amendments to the city's general fee schedule for the upcoming fiscal year, including adjustments to animal control fees, facility rental fees, and other user fees, reflecting inflation and operational cost changes. Another significant agenda item was the reconsideration of the Bluff Street annexation, which involved discussions about sewer connection costs, zoning protections, and community concerns. While no final action was taken to rescind prior annexation approvals, the council agreed to further explore protections for the Block 77 Water Company and potential assistance programs for sewer lateral connection costs. Public comments highlighted resident opposition to the annexation due to financial burdens and concerns about community integrity. The meeting also included presentations recognizing city park planning achievements and reports on regional board activities.
