The projects in the combined contract include pavement rehabilitation on Ridgecrest Road (grind-and-overlay, ADA curb‑ramp upgrades, a sidewalk in front of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and an extended median at Bear Valley Road), full pavement reconstruction on Roy Rogers Drive where geotechnical work showed the existing structural section was deficient, a grant-funded Village Drive sidewalk and ADA bypass (grant: $250,000), and restriping adjustments on Green Tree Boulevard including added turn pockets.

City Engineer Freddy Bonilla said the Roy Rogers segment required reconstruction after coring showed the existing structural section would not support a simple grind-and-overlay. “When we went out and we courted, we determined that the existing structural section was deficient and so we couldn't just do a 2‑inch grind and cap,” Bonilla said, explaining the need for the additional appropriation.

Bonilla also presented the city’s annual pavement management findings alongside the award. The city’s pavement condition index (PCI) is 65.7, Bonilla said, down from about 68.6 last year. He said Victorville now maintains about 479 centerline miles of roadway and estimated an updated capital need of roughly $164.6 million to address deteriorated pavement across the network.

“Maintaining our good roads is a great strategy,” Bonilla said, describing the city’s benefit‑to‑cost approach that prioritizes high‑traffic arterials but that also leaves pressure on local residential streets. City Manager Metzler told the council the report ties to the Measure I five‑year capital plan and urged consideration of revenue options to avoid long‑term decline: “If Measure I is not extended in 2040 ... we need to control our own destiny,” Metzler said.

Council action: Councilwoman Deborah Jones moved to approve the notice of exemption, adopt the budget amendment, and award the contract; Councilmember Tiffany Godin seconded. The vote was recorded as Yes — Godin, Irving, Jones, Herriman; Mayor Becerra absent; motion passed and staff was authorized to file the CEQA notice and proceed with contract award (contract CC26‑031; resolution number 25‑065 recorded in staff materials).

The council also received staff presentations on the pavement management program and adopted the Measure I five‑year capital improvement plan, a separate procedural approval required by the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority that formalizes planned Measure I cash flows over five years.

Bonilla and staff stressed the gap between current revenues and the estimated need: the presentation showed that maintaining a “very good” PCI across the city would require substantially higher annual funding (staff cited illustrative targets in the low‑ to mid‑teens of millions of dollars annually). Bonilla recommended continuing the city’s benefit‑to‑cost prioritization while the council considers longer‑term revenue options.

Work schedule and next steps: staff said final contract execution and construction scheduling will follow required filings and utility adjustments; the council approved the appropriation to allow the Roy Rogers reconstruction to proceed to construction.","The Victorville City Council on Aug. 19 approved a $4,950,661.32 construction contract to Vance Corporation for four 2025 street projects and added $728,000 in Measure I funds for a reconstruction on Roy Rogers Drive.",{"_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},6587381,"Victorville reports increased fireworks citations, new tactics after July 4 enforcement",58,2754000,2812000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5604040-41ae6dc6a4cac5549d94d57d8121ea0a&start=2754&end=2812","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5604040-41ae6dc6a4cac5549d94d57d8121ea0a/thumbnail_2754000.jpg","/articles/6587381/Victorville-City/San-Bernardino-County/California/Victorville-reports-increased-fireworks-citations-new-tactics-after-July-4-enforcement","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6587381-e10a0b4f3c916a7fddcef7cef2c20cf8/orig.mp4?Expires=1771174039&Signature=eUxlDp0UXyhLpUB2XTkXWFPn32jC5Dt8dNa~cDQxnXxY7kFcEok3Xs3P8k4bKS-BWbg2OQJPBMMAsyP0kHUuJL7vzsF6Mm0mo3jpFIdNd32KBxdW9lpmQmBxTryspBZmPrmCEG2Hzwndy0kkZEeOm4xY-Y267RXnHWjlO~Jbh~4jXExDIR8mcynxBP~58EXFo1VAi4Z-MhTiRuQ0d5KKuB3Ho248ZdBdZKlYHqCy334v8qxqrsH1nAcyJd3bX-Gtzmm629IjfXNllQSyLU1gBqd25FI7baVxXins4X8WRAQRIeXrAiSOxVjMzAw4UIXC-9W5H62JFise3Mu3T91ZRQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","City code enforcement and fire officials on Aug. 19 described expanded fireworks enforcement around the July 4 period and credited cross‑department collaboration with reducing incidents and allowing targeted enforcement.

George Duran, the city’s code enforcement official, told the council staff began proactive outreach in April and layered new tactics this year including six electronic reader boards placed at high‑visibility locations, targeted notices to rental property owners, social media advertising, and the use of 360° cameras mounted on vehicles to document incidents. Duran said almost 35,000 notices were sent to utility account holders and property owners as part of the outreach effort.

“Preparation is key. We start roughly around April,” Duran said. He described joint patrols, targeted review of social media for illegal sales and focused efforts to identify and cite sellers. Duran said the city issued 65 citations (an increase over prior years) and confiscated about 360 pounds of fireworks; in one location a citation escalated to a $3,000 dollar level.

Fire Chief Bobby Klemmer said the Fire Department added resources for the July 4 period, temporarily adjusted auto‑aid configurations and added engines and water tenders for preplanning. He told council the number of wildland fires during the holiday period fell from 47 in 2024 to 15 in 2025 and that EMS calls remained about the same year‑to‑year. “We put a lot of effort into preplanning this year,” Klemmer said, and credited coordination with code enforcement and dispatch for filtering fireworks calls to dedicated units.

Council response: Councilmembers praised the interdepartmental approach. Councilwoman Irvin said the public education work was “key” and effective. Councilwoman Godin and Councilwoman Jones echoed thanks to staff.

Tactics and enforcement: Duran said the city relies on progressive enforcement (administrative and criminal citation options) and uses notice documentation—reader boards, banners and mailed letters to rental owners—to establish prior notice in appeal or hearing situations. He also described on‑site partnerships with fire prevention and animal services at outreach events.","City code enforcement and fire prevention officials told the council their multi‑department July 4 operation produced more citations and confiscations, used new tools (360° cameras, electronic reader boards) and emphasized outreach to rental property owners.","actionData","errors"]
