Banning to pay $370K for road improvements with Beaumont

Banning will reimburse Beaumont up to $369,580 for roadway improvements along Highland Springs Avenue at Ramsey Street, an intersection that straddles the boundary between the two cities. The Banning City Council unanimously approved a resolution, authorizing a cooperative agreement that establishes each city’s responsibilities for the project. Beaumont will oversee construction, including administration, inspection, traffic control and coordination with the contractor, while Banning will reimburse Beaumont for work within Banning’s jurisdiction. The project is part of Beaumont’s broader citywide pavement improvement program. Matich Corporation’s bid for the overall project was $3.43 million, with Banning’s share of the work estimated at $321,374. A 15% contingency brings Banning’s maximum reimbursement to $369,580.

Yucaipa acquires land after $4.5 million loan defaults

Yucaipa acquired approximately 80 acres of vacant land off Oak Glen Road through foreclosure in October after a $4.5 million loan to Koy Builders Inc. went into default. It left questions about the original lending terms, the property’s value and the financial implications for taxpayers. Michael Kooyman, owner of Koy Builders, and the property, died by suicide. Records reviewed for this story do not establish a connection between his death and the loan. The city council approved the loan in December 2023, under a different city manager (Chris Mann) and council (Justin Beaver, Chris Venable, Jon Thorp, Matt Garner and Bobby Duncan), agreeing to lend Koy Builders $4.5 million at a fixed annual interest rate of 7%. The loan was secured by a deed of trust on the property, and the city also obtained an option to purchase it for $5.475 million. According to trustee’s sale records, the property was sold to the city for $5,087,014 at a public auction Oct. 8 at the San Bernardino County courthouse. The sale followed a notice of default signed June 1, 2026, which stated that $413,784 was owed as of May 1 and that the amount would increase until the account became current.

Yucaipa secures $1.58M grant for 6 firefighter positions

Yucaipa has secured nearly $1.58 million in federal funding to help pay for six firefighter positions over three years, giving the city additional support for emergency medical response while leaving a nearly $1 million local contribution during the grant period and the full annual cost after the funding expires. The council unanimously accepted the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s fiscal year 2025 Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response grant at its Oct. 26 meeting. The award provides $1,579,723.19 to support three firefighter-paramedics and three engineer-paramedics assigned to Medic Squad 553. The grant covers the period from March 24, 2027, through March 23, 2030. Over those three years, the six positions are projected to cost approximately $2.56 million, with the city responsible for about $981,990 under the approved funding plan. The federal contribution will decrease in the final year of the grant, requiring the city to cover a larger share of the cost as the funding period progresses.
