In 2022, the California Supreme Court ruled that bees can be protected under the CESA. The court’s decision allows California to protect some of its most endangered pollinators, which can help the state’s ecosystems and farms.  Bees and other pollinators are critical to promoting healthy ecosystems and strengthening biodiversity. They provide crucial pollination services that help fuel the plants that feed America.

A bee swarm is when a large group of honeybees leaves an established colony and flies off to build a new colony. Swarming is a natural part of the reproduction process and usually occurs in late spring and early summer. In most situations when a bee swarm is found in an open area outside of their natural habitat, you do not need to do anything. Swarms are temporary and the bees will move on if you patiently ignore them.

If you want to report a swarm in a public space such as a park or city-owned tree, please contact Public Works Operations at (909) 625-9480. Bees located on private property or equipment will have to be removed and relocated at the expense of the owner. This includes utility equipment such as electrical poles and water meters.

Traffic signals and street maintenance of ramps and intersections along the I-10 freeway are under the jurisdiction of the State of California. Report any problems within those intersections to Caltrans at this link: Submit Customer Service Request or call this number: (909) 383-4631.

Residential parking zones on City streets are established in certain areas of the City where there is a high demand for parking but a limited number of parking spaces. The intent of residential parking zones is to give residents in that area, or residents on one side of a street, parking in front of their homes. If you live in an area with residential parking restrictions, you may obtain a parking permit or permits by going to the information counter at City Hall. You must show your driver’s license proving that you live at a location within the parking zone and copies of vehicle registrations showing that the vehicles are registered at that address.

Visit the Finance counter at City Hall or call (909) 626-8571 for information about the types of permits available and the requirements for their issuance.

Utility payments can be made inside City Hall at the Finance counter Monday through Thursday 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. by cash, check, or credit card.

Utility Payment Drop Box

For your convenience, there is a secure payment drop box located at the main entrance of City Hall, 5111 Benito Street, which is on the north side of the building facing Benito Street.  Payments received by 7:00 a.m. will receive same-day credit.  Please place only check or money order payments in the drop box in a sealed envelope.  DO NOT DEPOSIT CASH IN THE DROPBOX.

Note: The drop box in the parking lot is NOT for utility payments.  That box is for mail-in ballots only. Any utility bills deposited in that box will be retrieved by the San Bernardino County Elections Office and may or may not be forwarded to the City in a timely manner, if at all.
