RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA APPROVING THE
SUBMITTAL OF A GRANT APPLICATION TO THE CALIFORNIA STATE PARKS OUTDOOR
ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION FACILITIES GRANT PROGRAM FOR A KUMEYAAY VILLAGE
REPLICA PROJECT IN THE OTAY VALLEY REGIONAL PARK, ACCEPTING THE TERMS OF THE
GRANT CONTRACT AND AUTHORIZING THE DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT SERVICES TO
EXECUTE SAID AGREEMENT FOR THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Council adopt the resolution.
SUMMARY
The California State Parks Office of Grants and Local Services (OGALS) offers an Outdoor
Environmental Education Facilities grant of up to $500,000, to provide assistance to local agencies
and community-based organizations for construction costs to develop an outdoor environmental
educational facility. City of Chula Vista staff, as the lead agency, in collaboration with the City of San
Diego Park and Recreation Department, applied for the grant for a Kumeyaay Village Replica project
to be a signature attraction in the Otay Valley Regional Park (OVRP). The Village Replica is
proposed along a trail segment adjacent to Fenton Pond in the City of San Diego (Attachment 1).
The grant application requires a Resolution authorizing approval for the grant application (Attachment
2), and entering into a contract for grant funds (Attachment 3). Staff is requesting $250,000 based on
a cost estimate following discussions with the Kumeyaay Jamul Band and City of San Diego Park
and Recreation staff.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Environmental Notice
The project qualifies for a Categorical Exemption Section 15301 (Existing Facilities); Section 15303
(New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures); Section 15304 (Minor Alterations to Land);
and Section 15311 (Accessory Structures) of the California Environmental Quality Act State
Guidelines.
Environmental Determination
The Director of Development Services has reviewed the proposed project for compliance with the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the project qualifies for a
Categorical Exemption pursuant to Section 15301 (Existing Facilities); Section 15303 (New
Construction or Conversion of Small Structures); Section 15304 (Minor Alterations to Land); and
Section 15311 (Accessory Structures) of the State CEQA Guidelines. Consistent with Section 15301,
the project site is located along an existing trail in the OVRP; consistent with Section 15303, the
project is small, covering less than 2,500 square feet of area; consistent with Section 15304, the
project involves a minor alteration to a trail section; consistent with Section 15311, the project is an
accessory to the existing ranger station on site. Therefore, no further environmental review is

accessory to the existing ranger station on site. Therefore, no further environmental review is
required.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
Not Applicable
DISCUSSION
On February 15, 2017, California State Parks invited local agencies to apply for the $500,000
Outdoor Environmental Educational Facilities (OEEF) Grant fund for construction of qualifying
outdoor environmental educational facilities. OVRP Joint Staff representing the Cities of Chula Vista,
San Diego, and the County of San Diego, presented the Kumeyaay Village Replica project to the
OVRP Executive Management Team, which agreed that the project was appropriate for the OVRP
and directed Joint Staff to apply for the OEEF grant. Joint Staff also presented the project to the
OVRP Citizen Advisory Committee and Policy Committee; both committees encouraged Joint Staff to
apply for the grant.
The grant stipulates that the City Council delegate the authority to an authorizing representative,
which would be the Director of Development Services or designee, to conduct all negotiations, sign
and submit all documents, including, but not limited to applications, agreements, amendments, and
payment requests, which may be necessary for the completion of the grant scope. City of Chula
Vista, as the lead agency in collaboration with the City of San Diego Park and Recreation
Department, applied for the grant for a Kumeyaay Village Replica project to be a signature attraction
in the OVRP.
The Village Replica will include ewaas (huts), a Toule canoe, a Ramada, and other items typically
used in a Kumeyaay Village. The Village Replica is proposed on a small open area along an existing
trail adjacent to Fenton Pond in the City of San Diego. Chula Vista staff submitted a request for
$250,000 based on a cost estimate following discussions with the Kumeyaay Jamul Band and City of
San Diego Park and Recreation staff. The grant application requires a resolution authorizing approval
for the grant and entering into a contract to administer grant funds. The State requires that the project
be completed and opened to the public within seven years from the date the funds are awarded. The
Kumeyaay Jamul Band offered assistance to design, construct, and maintain the Village Replica.
Staff fully expects that the project will be available for public enjoyment prior to the seven-year
deadline.
DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council members and has not found any property
holdings within 500 feet of the boundaries of the OVRP boundaries subject of this action.
Consequently, this does not present a disqualifying real property-related financial conflict of interest
under California Code of Regulations Title 2, section 18702.2(a)(11), for purposes of the Political
Reform Act (Cal. Gov’t Code §87100,et seq.). Staff is not independently aware, and has not been
informed by any City Council member of any other fact that may constitute a basis for a decision
maker conflict of interest in this matter.
LINK TO STRATEGIC GOALS
The City’s Strategic Plan has five major goals: Operational Excellence, Economic Vitality, Healthy
Community, Strong and Secure Neighborhoods and a Connected Community. The project’s location
in the OVRP will address the Healthy Community and Connected Community goals as it seeks toCity of Chula Vista Printed on 11/2/2017Page 2 of 3
powered by Legistar™2017-11-07 Agenda Packet Page 18
File#:17-0435, Item#: 2.
in the OVRP will address the Healthy Community and Connected Community goals as it seeks to
provide recreational and educational opportunities for residents and visitors.
CURRENT YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
All staff costs associated with preparing the grant application are included in the current adopted
budget.
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
Approval of this grant application will result in the distribution of requested grant money to construct a
Kumeyaay Village Replica in the Otay Valley Regional Park. No matching funds are requested for the
project. If awarded, the grant funds would be received on a reimbursement basis, based upon
project milestones; the $250,000 grant is expected to fully fund the project. Funding for ongoing
operations and maintenance of improvements is expected under the terms of the Joint Exercise of
Powers Agreement (JEPA)

procedures and guidelines, STATE agrees to notify GRANTEE within a reasonable
time of such update.
D. Project Administration
1. If GRANT MONIES are advanced, the advanced funds shall be placed in an interest
bearing account until expended. Advanced funds must be spent within six months from
the date of receipt, unless the STATE waives this requirement in writing. Interest
earned on the advanced funds shall be used on the project as approved by the STATE.

developed pursuant to this contract and the GRANTEE shall make said PROPERTY
available for inspection upon 24 hours’ notice from the STATE.
4. The GRANTEE and the STATE agree that if the GRANT SCOPE includes

this contract shall revert to the STATE.
E. Project Termination
1. In the event of non-completion of a GRANT SCOPE, the STATE may request the
return of any grant funds advanced or reimbursed to the Grantee. Any grant funds
that have not been expended by the GRANTEE shall revert or be returned to the
STATE.
2. Unless the provisions of this AGREEMENT provide otherwise, after encumbrance, this
contract may be rescinded, modified or amended only by mutual written agreement

as any other grant contracts, specified or general, that GRANTEE has entered into with
2017-11-07 Agenda Packet Page 51
Administration Guide for the Outdoor Environmental 7 Grant Contract
Education Facilities Program
STATE, may be cause for suspension of all obligations of the STATE unless the
STATE determines that such failure was due to no fault of the GRANTEE. In such
case, STATE may reimburse GRANTEE for eligible costs properly incurred in
performance of this AGREEMENT despite non-performance of the GRANTEE. To
qualify for such reimbursement, GRANTEE shall mitigate its losses to the best of its
ability.
4. Because the benefit to be derived by the STATE, from the full compliance by the
GRANTEE with the terms of this contract, is the preservation, protection and net
increase in the quantity and quality of parks, public recreation facilities, opportunities
and/or historical resources available to the people of the State of California and
because such benefit exceeds to an immeasurable and unascertainable extent, the
amount of money furnished by the STATE by way of GRANT MONIES under the
provisions of this contract, the GRANTEE agrees that payment by the GRANTEE to the
STATE of an amount equal to the amount of the GRANT MONIES disbursed under this
AGREEMENT by the STATE would be inadequate compensation to the STATE for any
breach by the GRANTEE of this AGREEMENT. The GRANTEE further agrees
therefore, that in addition to compensatory damages, the appropriate remedy in the
event of a breach of this AGREEMENT by the GRANTEE shall be the specific
performance of this contract, unless otherwise agreed to by the STATE.
F. Budget Contingency Clause
For purposes of this program, if funding for any fiscal year is reduced or deleted by the State
Budget Act, executive order, the legislature, or by any other provision of statute, the STATE
shall have the option to either cancel this contract with no liability occurring to the STATE, or
offer a contract amendment to GRANTEE to reflect a reduced grant amount. This Paragraph
shall not require the mutual agreement of the parties.
G. Indemnity
1. The GRANTEE shall waive all claims and recourse against the STATE including the
right to contribution for loss or damage to persons or property arising from, growing out
of or in any way connected with or incident to this contract except claims arising from
the concurrent or sole negligence of the STATE, its officers, agents, and employees.
2. To the fullest extent of the law, the GRANTEE shall indemnify, hold harmless and
defend the STATE, its officers, agents and employees against any and all claims,
demands, damages, costs, expenses and liability costs arising out of the
DEVELOPMENT, construction, operation or maintenance of the PROPERTY
described as the project or GRANT SCOPE which claims, demands or causes of
action arise under California Government Code Section 895.2 or otherwise except for
liability arising out of the concurrent or sole negligence of the STATE, its officers,
agents, or employees.
3. The GRANTEE agrees that in the event the STATE is named as codefendant under
the provisions of California Government Code Section 895 et seq., the GRANTEE shall
notify the STATE of such fact and shall represent the STATE in the legal action unless
the STATE undertakes to represent itself as codefendant in such legal action in which
event the STATE shall bear its own litigation costs, expenses, and attorney’s fees.
2017-11-07 Agenda Packet Page 52
Administration Guide for the Outdoor Environmental 8 Grant Contract
Education Facilities Program
4. The GRANTEE and the STATE agree that in the event of judgment entered against the
STATE and the GRANTEE because of the concurrent negligence of the STATE and
the GRANTEE, their officers, agents, or employees, an apportionment of liability to pay
such judgment shall be made by a court of competent jurisdiction. Neither party shall
request a jury apportionment.
5. The GRANTEE shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend the STATE, its officers,
agents and employees against any and all claims, demands, costs, expenses and
liability costs arising out of legal actions pursuant to items to which the GRANTEE has
certified. The GRANTEE acknowledges that it is solely responsible for compliance with
items to which it has certified.
H. Financial Records
1. The GRANTEE shall maintain satisfactory financial accounts, documents and records
for the project and GRANT SCOPE and to make them available to the STATE for
auditing at reasonable times. The GRANTEE also agrees to retain such financial
accounts, documents and records for five years following project and GRANT SCOPE
termination or final payment, whichever is later.
2. The GRANTEE shall keep such records as the STATE shall prescribe, including
records which fully disclose (a) the disposition of the proceeds of STATE funding
assistance, (b) the total cost of the project and GRANT SCOPE in connection with
such assistance that is given or used, (c) the amount and nature of that portion of the
GRANT SCOPE and project cost supplied by other sources, and (d) any other such
records that will facilitate an effective audit.
3. The GRANTEE agrees that the STATE shall have the right to inspect and make copies
of any books, records or reports pertaining to this contract or matters related thereto
during GRANTEE’S regular office hours. The GRANTEE shall maintain and make
available for inspection by the STATE accurate records of all of its costs,
disbursements and receipts with respect to its activities under this contract. Such
accounts, documents, and records shall be retained by the GRANTEE for 5 years
following final payment.

1. The GRANTEE agrees to operate and maintain any PROPERTY developed with the
GRANT MONIES for the duration of the CONTRACT PERFORMANCE PERIOD.
2. The GRANTEE agrees that during the CONTRACT PERFORMANCE PERIOD, any
income earned by the GRANTEE from a STATE approved non-recreational use of
the project shall be used for recreational purposes at the project, or, if approved by
the STATE, for recreational purposes within the GRANTEE’s jurisdiction.
3. All facilities shall have operating hours consistent with the times proposed in the
APPLICATION and be open to members of the public in accordance with the project
selection criteria in the APPLICATION, unless otherwise granted permission by the
State and except as noted under the special provisions of this AGREEMENT or
under provisions of the enabling legislation and/or grant program.

the GRANT SCOPE referenced in the APPLICATION unless prior written approval is
given by the STATE.
5. The GRANTEE agrees to use any PROPERTY developed with GRANT MONIES
under this AGREEMENT only for the purposes of the grant and no other use, sale,

successor entity assumes the obligations imposed under this AGREEMENT and with
written approval of the STATE.
7. Any real PROPERTY (including any portion of it or any interest in it) may not be
used as security for any debt or mitigation, without the written approval of the State
of California, acting through the DPR, or its successor, provided that such approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld as long as the purposes for which the Grant was
awarded are maintained. Any such permission that is granted does not make DPR a
guarantor or a surety for any debt or mitigation, nor does it waive DPR’s rights to
enforce performance under the Grant Contract.
8. If eminent domain proceedings are initiated against GRANTEE, GRANTEE shall
notify STATE within 10 days of receiving the complaint or other notice of the initiation
of such proceedings.
J. Nondiscrimination

and shall not apply differences in admission or other fees on the basis of residence.
Fees shall be reasonable and not unduly prevent use by economically
disadvantaged members of the public.
K. Severability
If any provision of this AGREEMENT or the application thereof is held invalid, that invalidity
shall not affect other provisions or applications of the AGREEMENT which can be given
effect without the invalid provision or application, and to this end the provisions of this
contract are severable.
L. Liability
STATE assumes no responsibility for assuring the safety of construction, site improvements
or programs related to the GRANT SCOPE. The STATE’S rights under this AGREEMENT
to review, inspect and approve the GRANT SCOPE and any final plans of implementation

Education Facilities Program
shall not give rise to any warranty or representation that the GRANT SCOPE and any plans
or improvements are free from hazards or defects.
M. Assignability

only for the purpose of convenience and are not a part of this AGREEMENT and shall not
be deemed in any manner to modify, explain, or restrict any of the provisions of this
AGREEMENT.

Administration Guide for the Outdoor Environmental 19 Scope Change Requests
Education Facilities Program
Scope Change Requests
To maintain the integrity of the competitive grant award process, a SCOPE CHANGE
request will be carefully evaluated and must be approved by OGALS in writing (see
CONTRACT provision B.2.). This includes removal or addition of, or significant
modification to, the scope items listed in the original GRANT SCOPE/Cost Estimate Form.
OGALS discourages proposals that eliminate or greatly reduce a PROJECT’S recreational
use or capacity.
Therefore, SCOPE CHANGE proposals must include the documents listed below. Any
revised documents must satisfy the requirements described in the Application Checklist
in the Application Guide for the related program . In addition, each document must
include a revision date on the top right corner.
1. A proposal letter signed by the AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE. Contact your PROJECT
OFFICER to confirm the information that must be included in the letter. The type of
information varies based on the proposed SCOPE CHANGE. In general you will need
to include:
A description of the proposed SCOPE CHANGE, including a comparison between
the original GRANT SCOPE and the proposed GRANT SCOPE’S range of recreational
opportunities, projected number of users, and projected operating hours.
An explanation of why the scope change is necessary.
A comparison of the community based planning process used, if applicable, to
develop the original GRANT SCOPE and the proposed GRANT SCOPE.
If the requested SCOPE CHANGE is due to an unforeseen shortage of funds,
provide information about your attempts to obtain funding from other local, state,
federal, or private sources to complete the original GRANT SCOPE.
2. A revised GRANT SCOPE/Cost Estimate Form.
3. A new CEQA Compliance Certification Form if the change involves adding a scope
item not covered by the existing CEQA Compliance Certification Form.
4. A revised site plan showing the addition, removal, or modification of the scope
item(s).

Administration Guide for the Outdoor Environmental 20 Fidelity Bond
Education Facilities Program
Fidelity Bond (For Non-profit GRANTEES only)
Non-profit GRANTEES must provide a copy of a current Fidelity Bond policy to their
PROJECT OFFICERS before any payment requests can be approved by OGALS.
The premium for a Fidelity Bond is an ELIGIBLE COST.
A Fidelity Bond provides insurance covering fraudulent acts of GRANTEES’ employees,
volunteers, officers, and directors. The GRANTEE is the insured party. DPR must be
named as a Third Party Loss Payee, i.e., the same as a mortgage company on a home
loan. The DPR address is: State of California, Dept. of Parks and Recreation, P .O. Box
942896, Sacramento, CA 94296-0001, Attn: Office of Grants and Local Services.
Coverage must be at least equal to the GRANT amount. Fidelity Bond insurance must be
kept current for at least six months after the date of the final GRANT payment.
GRANTEES may obtain the Fidelity Bond through a general liability carrier, a major
casualty insurance carrier, or a bonds specialty company. A list of Fidelity Bond
frequently asked questions is available on the OGALS web site at
www.parks.ca.gov/grants
2017-11-07 Agenda Packet Page 65
Administration Guide for the Outdoor Environmental 21 Three-Bid Process
Education Facilities Program
Three-Bid Process (For Non-profit GRANTEES only)
Non-profit GRANTEES must attempt to obtain three bids before awarding a contract on a
GRANT-funded PROJECT for services (greater than $5,000), and for construction work
(greater than $25,000), thus ensuring state funds are spent responsibly.
Process:
1. Non-profit GRANTEE attempts to obtain three bids for services (greater than $5,000)
and for construction work (greater than $25,000).
2. To ensure that bidders understand the required PROJECT elements, the non-profit
GRANTEE provides each bidder (potential contractor) the same written invitation for
bid describing the PROJECT work to be performed based on “Best Value” factors, and
the required PROJECT elements based on the Grant Scope/Cost Estimate Form, and
concept level site plan.
3. Solicit bids by contacting at least three potential contractors or by invitation for bids
advertising, or a combination of both methods.
The non-profit GRANTEE’s Board of Directors evaluates the bids to determine which
contractor will provide the “best value” and will meet PROJECT requirements. “Best
value” should be determined by price, quality of materials, equipment, and
workmanship. The evaluation process must ensure no conflict of interest between the
contractor and the non-profit GRANTEE’s Board of Directors. The non-profit GRANTEE’s
Board of Directors need not necessarily accept the lowest bid, but a reasonable
justification for the decision should be recorded in writing.
4. The Board of Directors selects a contractor and awards a contract.
5. For audit purposes, the GRANTEE keeps records of Steps 1 – 4 above.
Waiver of Three-Bid Requirement
The non-profit GRANTEE may request a waiver of the three-bid process requirement.
To request a waiver, the GRANTEE must send a written request to the PROJECT OFFICER
assigned to the grant PROJECT and explain why a waiver is required.

Administration Guide for the Outdoor Environmental 25 Grant Payments
Education Facilities Program
Payment Schedule and Reason
A payment schedule is required for an ADVANCE. The payment schedule must provide
the following information:
A month by month estimate, up to six months, showing the anticipated
amount needed.
To which entity the GRANTEE will pay using the ADVANCED funds
(FORCE ACCOUNT or name of contractors).
An explanation about why an ADVANCE is needed, instead of requesting a
REIMBURSEMENT after the GRANTEE incurs the costs.
Six Month Advance Period -- Documenting expenditure of advanced funds and
interest
GRANT funds ADVANCED and any interest earned, must be spent on ELIGIBLE COSTS within
six months and documented on the Grant Expenditure Form. All invoices and contracts
pursuant to which payments are made shall be made available to OGALS on demand.
Six Month Advance Period -- Returning Unexpended Advanced Funds or Interest
The balance of unspent GRANT funds must be returned to OGALS no later than thirty days
after the end of the six month ADVANCE period. OGALS will then return the GRANT funds to
the CONTRACT balance. OGALS cannot return interest to the CONTRACT balance.
If interest was earned on the ADVANCED funds, spend the interest on ELIGIBLE
COSTS, and return the unspent GRANT funds to OGALS.
Subsequent Advances
A Grant Expenditure Form documenting expenditure of the total amount of previously
ADVANCED funds plus interest must be provided to OGALS before additional payments
can be approved.
This requirement may be waived in cases where a PROJECT requires timely
payments to contractors, and the remaining balance of unspent ADVANCED
funds cannot cover the next PROJECT payment. The following items are
required to request a waiver:
1. A letter to the PROJECT OFFICER, signed by the AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE,
explaining why the waiver is needed.
2. A Grant Expenditure Form documenting that the majority of ADVANCED funds
have been spent.
3. A payment schedule with a month by month estimate showing the anticipated
amount needed including the unspent balance of previously ADVANCED funds,
along with the additional requested ADVANCE.
Reimbursement Payments
There are two types of REIMBURSEMENT payments before the final payment, NON-
CONSTRUCTION REIMBURSEMENT and CONSTRUCTION REIMBURSEMENT.

RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA APPROVING YEAR FOUR
OF A SUB-AWARD AGREEMENT WITH COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PARTNERS FOR
THE RACIAL AND ETHNIC APPROACHES TO COMMUNITY HEALTH PROJECT, AUTHORIZING
THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE THE AGREEMENT AND THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE ALL
OTHER DOCUMENTS NECESSARY TO IMPLEMENT THE AGREEMENT, AND APPROPRIATING
FUNDS THEREFOR (4/5 VOTE REQUIRED)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Council adopt the resolution.
SUMMARY
On June 2, 2015, October 13, 2015 and October 4, 2016, City Council approved the year one, year
two, and year three agreement, respectively, between the City and Community Health Improvement
Partners for funding, through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Racial and Ethnic
Approaches to Community Health (REACH) program, to promote healthy eating and physical activity
to Latinos living in Chula Vista’s 91910 and 91911 zip codes. This action will approve year four
funding for staff time to further develop policies and plans supporting healthy food access.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Environmental Notice
The activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the California Environmental Quality
Act State Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3) no environmental
review is required.
Environmental Determination
The activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the California Environmental Quality
Act State Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3) no environmental

BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
Not applicable.
DISCUSSION
The non-profit Community Health Improvement Partners (CHIP) received funding, through the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Racial and Ethnic Approaches to Community Health
(REACH) program, to address health disparities in Chula Vista in 2015. Specifically, the project has
been working to promote healthy eating and physical activity for Latinos living in the City’s 91910 and
91911 zip codes.
While the initial grant period was for three years, the Centers for Disease Control has awarded an
City of Chula Vista Printed on 11/2/2017Page 1 of 3
powered by Legistar™2017-11-07 Agenda Packet Page 81
File#:17-0431, Item#: 3.
While the initial grant period was for three years, the Centers for Disease Control has awarded an
unexpected fourth year to continue the REACH project. A total of $30,007 in year four (October 1,
2017 - September 30, 2018) funding has been awarded, of which $30,005 was appropriated as part
of the regular fiscal year 2017-18 budget development process ($2 to be appropriated). It is
expected that this will be the final year of grant funding.
In addition to the year four funding, the City has identified unspent year three (October 1, 2016 -
September 30, 2017) grant funds totaling $11,185. Staff recommends appropriating these monies
from the available grant fund balance for expenditure in fiscal year 2017-18, for a total appropriation
request of $11,187.
The project will provide the City with technical assistance to develop and review policies to support
healthy food access. In addition to the City of Chula Vista, other project partners have included the
UCSD School of Medicine’s Center for Community Health, Scripps Mercy Chula Vista, Sweetwater
High School District, Chula Vista Elementary School District, the YMCA and 2-1-1 San Diego.
DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and has determined that it is not site
specific and consequently, the 500-foot rule found in California Code of Regulations section 18705.2
(a)(11), is not applicable to this decision. Staff is not independently aware, and has not been
informed by any City Council member, of any other fact that may constitute a basis for a decision
maker conflict of interest in this matter.
LINK TO STRATEGIC GOALS
The City’s Strategic Plan has five major goals: Operational Excellence, Economic Vitality, Healthy
Community, Strong and Secure Neighborhoods and a Connected Community. The REACH project
directly supports the Strategic Plan’s Healthy Community component by promoting physical activity
and healthy eating.
CURRENT YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal year 2018 budget includes $30,005 in REACH funding. Actual REACH funds awarded
total $30,007, necessitating a minor appropriation of $2.00. In addition to the year four funding,
unexpended prior year grant funds totaling $11,185 have been identified and are recommended for
appropriation in the current year, resulting in a total appropriation request of $11,187. Table 1 below
summarizes the funds available and appropriations requested.
Funds Available/
Awarded
Existing
Appropriations
Proposed
Appropriations
Year 3 (Prior Year Fund Balance)$11,185 $0 $11,185
Year 4 (New Grant Funds)$30,007 $30,005 $2
Total $41,192 $30,005 $11,187
Table 1
The proposed appropriation will be fully offset by grant funds. The funds will be used to support City
staff time associated with healthy eating-related policy development.

Government.
22.Logo Use for Conference and Other Materials:
22.1.Neither the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) nor the CDC logo may be
displayed if such display would cause confusion as to the funding source or give false
appearance of Government endorsement. Use of the HHS name or logo is governed by
U.S.C. Part 1320b-10, which prohibits misuse of the HHS name and emblem in written
communication. A non-federal entity is unauthorized to use the HHS name or logo
governed by U.S.C. Part 1320b-10. The appropriate use of the HHS logo is subject to review
and approval of the HHS Office of the Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs (OASPA) .

penalties for violations (42 CFR Part 1003). Accordingly, neither the HHS nor the CDC logo
can be used by the grantee without the express, written consent of either the CDC Project

govern the creation and implementation of federal information security practices that
pertain specifically to grants and contracts. The current regulations are pursuant to the
Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA), Title Ill of the E- Government Act of
2002, PL 107-347.
24.2.FISMA applies to CDC grantees only when grantees collect, store, process, transmit or use
information on behalf of HHS or any of its component organizations. In all other cases,
FISMA is not applicable to recipients of grants, including cooperative agreements. Under
FISMA, the grantee retains the original data and intellectual property, and is responsible
for the security of these data, subject to all applicable laws protecting security, privacy, and
research. If/When information collected by a grantee is provided to HHS, responsibility for
the protection of the HHS copy of the information is transferred to HHS and it becomes the
agency's responsibility to protect that information and any derivative copies as required by

2018 SCOPE OF WORK
CHIP – THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA – REACH 2016 - 2017 (5834-122-04)Attachment B
1.Scope of Work
Contractor shall provide services forthe Racial and Ethnic Approaches to Community Health Project
("Project") incity-wide program work related to healthy food access (e.g. edible landscaping, urban
agriculture and fast food restrictions) and physical activity (e.g. open streets and active
transportation) in response to outcomes from the Healthy Chula Vista Action Plan Health Impact
Analysis and related civic engagement. The Project supports effective implementation of existing
policy, systems, and environmental improvements, and offers opportunities for the western Chula
Vista community to take comprehensive action to address risk factors contributing to the most
common and debilitating chronic conditions including poor nutrition and physical inactivity. Project
activities will focus on improving access to healthy foods and beverages and opportunities for
physical activity.
2.Background Information
REACH is a national program financed in part by Prevention and Public Health funding
and administered by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) aimed at
reducing racial and ethnic disparities in health. Through REACH, CDC supports awardee
partners that establish community-based programs and culturally tailored interventions
serving African Americans, American Indians, Hispanics/Latinos, Asian Americans,
Alaska Natives, and Pacific Islanders.
The REACH partners use community-based, participatory approaches to identify, develop, and
disseminate effective strategies for addressing health disparities across a widerange of health priority
areas such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, breast and cervical cancer, infant mortality, asthma,
immunization, and obesity. Because the causes of racial and ethnic health disparities are complex and
include individual, community, societal, cultural, and environmental factors, REACH’s approaches cut
across a number of evidence-and practice-based interventions.
Community Health Improvement Partners (CHIP) applied for and was awarded REACH funding
for the Project through September 29
th, 2015. These funds will be used to address nutrition and
physical activity risk factors in two high risk zip codes in Chula Vista, California (91910 and 91911).
These are contiguous zip codes located in western Chula Vista, with 91910 bordering the northern
edge of 91911. According to San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) Demographic &
Socio-Economic Estimates for January 2013, the combined population in these two zip codes is
160,617. Community members in zip codes 91910 and 91911 are 67.13% Hispanic; 18.45% White;
3.05% Black; 0.27% AI; 8.75% Asian/Pacific Islander A/PI; and 2.32% Other. The median
household income adjusted for inflation for zip codes 91910 and 91911 is below that of the city as a
whole at $53,003 and $57,065, respectively. The American Community Survey (U.S. Census data)
estimates that 12,735 residents in the targeted zip codes are ages 0 to 5 and of those, 9,826 are
Hispanic.
CHIP will act as the lead organization for the Project, responsible for overall coordination and
reporting. CHIP achieves its mission using a Community Based Participatory Approach (CBPA) by
forming initiatives, coalitions or work teams, targeting priority health issues identified by the
community health needs assessment (CHNA). With core functions of assessment, outreach,
education and advocacy, program development, and collaboration, CHIP’s current programs focus in
the areas of obesity prevention, mental health, and access to care, all priority issue areas identified in
the most recent (2013) CHNA. This partnership with the subrecipient will allow REACH to have a
maximum impact in the proposed zip codes. The subrecipient shall provide support throughout the
length of the contract.

RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA SUMMARILY VACATING
THE EMERGENCY ACCESS EASEMENT OVER PARCEL 2 OF PARCEL MAP NO. 17802
(SEAWORLD AQUATICA)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Council adopt the resolution.
SUMMARY
On December 24, 1996, the Chillingworth Corporation dedicated an Emergency Access Easement to
the City of Chula Vista over parcel 2 of Parcel Map No. 17802 (Map). Sea World LLC currently owns
the property and has requested that the Emergency Access Easement be vacated. A new
Emergency Access Easement has been recorded to coincide with recent improvements to the site.
Tonight’s action will complete the relocation of the Emergency Access Easement to the new driveway
location.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Environmental Notice
The Project qualifies for a Class 5 Categorical Exemption pursuant to Section 15305 (Minor
Alterations in Land Use Limitations) of the California Environmental Quality Act State Guidelines.
Environmental Determination
The Director of Development Services has reviewed the proposed project for compliance with the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the proposed project
consisting of the vacation of easements no longer used for the purpose for which these were
dedicated or acquired as stipulated by state law and said actions will not result in the creation of any
new parcel, qualifies for a Class 5 Categorical Exemption pursuant to Section 15305 (Minor
Alterations in Land Use Limitations) of the State CEQA Guidelines. Thus, no further environmental
review is required.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
Not Applicable.
DISCUSSION
The Emergency Access Easement’s purpose was to reserve access for emergency services to enter
on the property. The easement was located over the driveway entering the site. Since the dedication
of the original easement, SeaWorld LLC, acquired the property and realigned the driveway. As a
condition of approval of their building permit, SeaWorld LLC was required to dedicate a new
emergency access easement and vacate the Original Emergency Access Easement.

File#:16-0340, Item#: 4.
Part 3 (commencing with Section 8300) of Division 9 of the California Streets and Highways Code
(“Public Streets, Highways, and Service Easements Vacation Law”), at Chapter 4, provides the
authority and procedures for the summary vacation of public service easements. Section 8333(c) of
the Public Streets, Highways, and Service Easements Vacation Law specifically allows for summary
vacation proceedings when an easement has been superseded by relocation, or determined to be in
excess by the easement holder and there are no other public facilities located within the easement.
Accordingly, the City Council may vacate the easements by adoption of a resolution stating all of the
following:
1. That the vacation is made under Chapter 4 of the Public Streets, Highways, and Service
Easements Vacation Law;
2. The name or designation of the easement and a precise description of the portion vacated
(see Attachment 2);
3. The facts under which the vacation is made, and;
4. That from and after the date the resolution is recorded, the easements vacated no longer
constitutes an open space, street, highway, or public service easement.
The easement was dedicated when Parcel Map No. 17802 was recorded in the County Recorder’s
office on December 24, 1996. The easement has been superseded by an Easement for Emergency
Access Purposes recorded on April 28, 2017 as Document Number 2017-0192173. There are no
public facilities located in the easement proposed to be vacated; thus the easement meets the
requirements for summary vacation under section 8333(c) of the California Streets and Highways
Code.
DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council members and has found no property
holdings within 500 feet of the boundaries of the property which is the subject of this action.
Consequently, this item does not present a disqualifying real property-related financial conflict of
interest under California Code of Regulations Title 2, section 18702.2(a)(11), for purposes of the
Political Reform Act (Cal. Gov’t Code §87100, et seq.).
Staff is not independently aware, and has not been informed by any City Council member, of any
other fact that may constitute a basis for a decision maker conflict of interest in this matter.
LINK TO STRATEGIC GOALS
The City’s Strategic Plan has five major goals: Operational Excellence, Economic Vitality, Healthy
Community, Strong and Secure Neighborhoods and a Connected Community. The proposed action
addresses the Strong and Secure goal as it provides emergency access to the site.
CURRENT YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
All costs associated with processing the summary vacation are borne by the developer, resulting in
no net fiscal impact to the General Fund or the Development Services Fund.
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
There is no ongoing fiscal impact associated with the vacation of the easement.

RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA AUTHORIZING STAFF TO
SUBMIT REQUIRED DOCUMENTATION TO THE COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO TO INITIATE THE
ADOPTION PROCESS OF AN URBAN AGRICULTURE INCENTIVE ZONE
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Council adopt the resolution.
SUMMARY
The State of California passed AB 551 in 2013 to allow jurisdictions to create Urban Agriculture
Incentive Zones (UAIZ). UAIZ’s provide a tax incentive (by reducing property taxes) for landowners
to use their vacant or blighted property for agricultural use for a minimum of five years. This is an
effort to use otherwise vacant land, while creating an added benefit for the community. Tonight’s
action would direct staff to initiate the zone adoption process with the County of San Diego and return
for final adoption to the City Council in 2018.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Environmental Notice
The activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the California Environmental Quality
Act State Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3) no environmental
review is required.
Environmental Determination
The activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the California Environmental Quality
Act State Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3) no environmental
review is required.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
On October 12, 2017, the Healthy Chula Vista Advisory Commission provided an advisory
recommendation that Council approve (7-0) staff’s submittal of documentation to initiate the adoption
process.
DISCUSSION
In keeping with the Healthy Community goal of the Strategic Plan, on January 5, 2016, the first
Healthy Chula Vista Action Plan was adopted, providing a set of strategies to review, create and
evaluate policies and programs within the City and to develop key community partnerships to
promote wellness within our community. A key component of the plan included residents’ access to
healthy food options.
Consistent with the adopted Healthy Chula Vista Action Plan and its strategies, staff is recommending
the adoption of an Urban Agriculture Incentive Zone (UAIZ) within Chula Vista as allowed by
City of Chula Vista Printed on 11/1/2017Page 1 of 3
powered by Legistar™2017-11-07 Agenda Packet Page 128
File#:17-0453, Item#: 5.
the adoption of an Urban Agriculture Incentive Zone (UAIZ) within Chula Vista as allowed by
Assembly Bill 551 passed in 2013 and recently amended in September 2017 (to extend the time
period to create UAIZ’s).
AB551 Overview
AB 551 allows jurisdictions to identify and adopt an Urban Agriculture Incentive Zone (UAIZ), an
incentive for landowners to enter into contract to use their otherwise “unused” property for agricultural
use for a minimum of five years in exchange for a reduction in property tax. Rather than paying the
standard applicable property tax rate (e.g. commercial tax rate for a commercial property),
participating properties will be assessed at the annual average per acre value of irrigated cropland.
For 2014, this amount was $12,500 per acre, or $0.29 per square foot. If this is less than the current
assessed value of the land, then the owner will pay lower property taxes for the period of the
contract. Interested landowners must enter into a contract prior to January 1, 2029, the sunset date
of the State law.
AB551 identifies eligible properties for such contracts as parcels:
·Between 0.1 acre and 3 acres in size (4,560 and 130,680 square feet);
·All the property must be used for commercial or noncommercial agricultural use;
·Free of any dwellings and only have physical structures that support the agricultural use; and,
·Permitted to have an agricultural use.
County of San Diego Requirements
The first step in the adoption of a UAIZ is approval by the County of San Diego, in its role as the tax
assessor and collector. The County has developed a process to evaluate and approve the UAIZ
designation, as outlined below:
1. Identify eligible parcels within the proposed UAIZ boundary.
2. Map out the proposed UAIZ boundary.
3. Provide a copy of the proposed ordinance.
4. Provide the following UAIZ program information:
a. Scope of program
b. Methodology used to determine blighted/vacant property
c. Program (total) fiscal impact
d. Copy of the proposed regulations to implement, enforce, administer said program
e. Sample of proposed contract
5. Conduct a fiscal impact analysis for all affected taxing entities, including total amount of tax
revenue reduction, through the county.
6. Send a written notice to all taxing entities who will be affected by establishing the UAIZ and its
tax break, including the date/time of the Board of Supervisors meeting when the resolution will
be approved.
Staff would return to City Council for final approval of the UAIZ once the County Board of Supervisors
has reviewed and approved the documentation and process outlined above. Such actions for
Council’s future consideration would include an ordinance and any additional zoning changes that
would enable the implementation of the UAIZ, along with a full fiscal impact analysis. It is anticipated
that staff will bring back these items to the Planning Commission and then City Council in early to mid

that staff will bring back these items to the Planning Commission and then City Council in early to mid
-2018.
DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and has determined that it is not site-
specific and consequently, the 500-foot rule found in California Code of Regulations Title 2, section
18702.2(a)(11), is not applicable to this decision for purposes of determining a disqualifying real
property-related financial conflict of interest under the Political Reform Act (Cal. Gov't Code § 87100,
et seq.).
Staff is not independently aware, and has not been informed by any City Council member, of any
other fact that may constitute a basis for a decision maker conflict of interest in this matter.
LINK TO STRATEGIC GOALS
The City’s Strategic Plan has five major goals: Operational Excellence, Economic Vitality, Healthy
Community, Strong and Secure Neighborhoods and a Connected Community. This item supports
Section 3.1.1 - Implement policies and programs that support a healthy community, by providing
healthier options.
CURRENT YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
Staff costs associated with the preparation of this staff report and for the UAIZ adoption process are
offset by grant funds through the Centers for Disease Control’s Racial and Ethnic Approaches to
Community Health (REACH Chula Vista).
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
Potential ongoing impacts will be assessed through the County review process and brought forward
to City Council for consideration in 2018.

RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA AMENDING COUNCIL
POLICY NO. 585-02: UTILITY TRENCH MORATORIUM POLICY AND ADOPTING CHULA VISTA
CONSTRUCTION STANDARD CVCS 3A: MORATORIUM ROADWAY TRENCH RESURFACING
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Council adopt the resolution.
SUMMARY
The original Council Policy for Utility Trench Moratorium was adopted on June 5, 2012. In order to
ensure sustainable roads and extend the pavement life, throughout the City, staff recommends
amending the policy to extend the moratorium periods. The revised policy will also establish a new
construction standard drawing to clarify the requirements for repairing trenches in newly paved and
sealed public streets.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Environmental Notice
The activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the California Environmental Quality
Act State Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3) no environmental
review is required.
Environmental Determination
The Director of Development Services has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the activity is not a “Project” as
defined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines because the activity consists of
amending the Utility Trench Moratorium Policy, which does not involve any commitment to any
specific project that may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment.
Therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, the activity is not subject
to CEQA. Thus, no environmental review is required. Although environmental review is not required
at this time, once the scope of potential individual projects has been defined, environmental review
will be required for each project and the appropriate environmental determination will be made.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
Not Applicable.
DISCUSSION
Background
The City originally adopted Council Policy 585-02, Utility Trench Moratorium by Resolution 2012-096
(Attachment 1) on June 5, 2012. The purpose of this policy is to protect the integrity of City streets
by implementing a trench cut moratorium which will limit developers, utility companies, and City
City of Chula Vista Printed on 11/2/2017Page 1 of 4
powered by Legistar™2017-11-07 Agenda Packet Page 132
File#:17-0178, Item#: 6.
by implementing a trench cut moratorium which will limit developers, utility companies, and City
crews from damaging newly paved and resurface streets.
The Council Policy 585-02 established a trench cut moratorium as follows:
·A 1-year moratorium for streets receiving a sealcoat, such as a slurry seal or chip seal.
·A 3-year moratorium for newly constructed, reconstructed streets and overlaid streets.
In addition to the City’s regular standard for repairing utility trenches, CVCS 3&4 (Attachment 4), the
policy required the following for trench repair during the moratorium:
·Lateral trenches (perpendicular to the curb) - Extend T-cut grind and overlay limits to 3 feet
beyond each side of the trench.
·Longitudinal trenches (parallel to the curb) - Grind 1-1/2 inches minimum and place 1-1/2
inches minimum overlay over the entire lane that is impacted (regardless of the classification
of the street).
Findings
Since the adoption of this policy, staff continues to observe pavement deterioration on City streets
due to trenching. The City will undertake a large pavement rehabilitation program over the next few
years based on Measure P, TransNet and new Gas Tax funding. It is advisable to protect these
investments and minimize the damage from premature pavement cuts to ensure the expected life of
the pavement is achieved. The main purpose of pavement rehabilitation and maintenance is to
extend the life of an existing pavement. It is estimated that an overlay can extend the life of
pavement by as much as 20 years. If utility trenching reduces pavement life by up to 50 percent, this
is a significant reduction in the effectiveness of the City’s investment. The Pavement Asset
Management (PAM) Committee reviewed policies of other agencies in the San Diego area to help
evaluate the City’s current policy and develop recommendations for revisions.
A summary of the information gathered to compare utility trench moratoriums is shown in Attachment
2. Trench cut moratorium information for several California agencies, including the City of Chula
Vista is shown.
After a review and comparison of the policies, staff recommends an increase in the moratorium
period and a revision to the lateral trench repair detail to ensure a sustainable and structurally sound
repair.
Additionally, two agencies have a Street Damage Restoration fee imposed in order to recover costs
associated with the decrease in the useful life of the pavement caused by trenching. The fee is
somewhat subjective and the City’s PAM committee recommends that it not be implemented at this
time.
Proposed Policy Revisions
The proposed Council Policy is provided as attachment 3. The revisions are:
1. The Trench Cut Moratorium period begins immediately upon completion of the paving.
·A 3-year moratorium for streets receiving a sealcoat, such as slurry seal or chip seal.
·A 5-year moratorium for newly constructed streets and streets receiving major rehabilitation of
City of Chula Vista Printed on 11/2/2017Page 2 of 4
powered by Legistar™2017-11-07 Agenda Packet Page 133
File#:17-0178, Item#: 6.
·A 5-year moratorium for newly constructed streets and streets receiving major rehabilitation of
one inch or greater, such as reconstruction or overlay.
2. Trench Repair Requirements for Street under Moratorium
·Lateral trenches (perpendicular to the curb) - Extend T-cut grind and overlay limits to 10 feet
beyond each side of the trench and over the entire lane that is impacted (regardless of street
classification). This is described in the new Chula Vista Construction Standard CVCS 3A
“Moratorium Roadway Trench Resurfacing” (Attachment 4).
·Longitudinal trenches (parallel to the curb) - No change.
If adopted, the proposed Council Policy will supersede other existing rules and regulations regarding
utility trenching and pavement repairs on moratorium streets.
Development Services staff will review permit applications that include street trenching and confer
with Engineering Department Pavement Management staff to determine applicability of the
moratorium policy before issuance of the permit.

City staff (Public Works and Engineering) and representatives of the utility companies attend the
Utility Coordination Committee (UCC) bi-monthly meeting to discuss their upcoming projects,
including pavement rehabilitation programs and planned utility upgrades. The intent of this meeting
is to better plan and schedule pavement rehabilitation after the scheduled work by the utility
companies in order to reduce impacts to the City’s infrastructure. The UCC receives the initial lists of
project locations and as-built lists during the Utility Coordination Meeting. The proposed revisions
were presented to the UCC, discussed and accepted.
DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and has determined that it is not site-
specific and consequently, the 500-foot rule found in California Code of Regulations Title 2, section
18702.2(a)(11), is not applicable to this decision for purposes of determining a disqualifying real
property-related financial conflict of interest under the Political Reform Act (Cal. Gov't Code § 87100,
et seq.).
Staff is not independently aware, and has not been informed by any City Council member, of any
other fact that may constitute a basis for a decision maker conflict of interest in this matter.
LINK TO STRATEGIC GOALS
The City’s Strategic Plan has five major goals: Operational Excellence, Economic Vitality, Healthy
Community, Strong and Secure Neighborhoods and a Connected Community. This item supports
Section 3.1.1 - Implement policies and programs that support a healthy community, by providing for
more complete planning and design of pavement rehabilitation of streets that address all users.
CURRENT YEAR FISCAL IMPACT

ADOPTED BY: Resolution No. 2012-096 DATED: June 5, 2012
AMENDED BY: Resolution No. 2017-(000) TBD
BACKGROUND
The City previously adopted Resolution Number 2012-096, Utility Trench Moratorium Policy No. 585-
02, implementing a trench cut moratorium to limit developers, utility companies, and City crews from
damaging newly paved or resurfaced streets.
Many studies have indicated that a utility cut damages an area of pavement larger than the actual area of
the excavation. So in line with the St ate of California and other cities, the City of Chula Vista requires
the utility contractors to reconstruct the street from curb to curb wherever a utility cut/trench is between
them. The City also requires all trench cuts to be T-cuts, to reduce the negative impacts of the trench
cut. In addition, Chapter 12.16 of the Municipal Code allows the Director of Public Works to require
the person repaving the excavation to apply a seal coat at any time within two years of the time of
repaving.
In order to better manage the pavement degradation as a result of utility trenches, staff conducted further
review of other moratorium policies from neighboring agencies in California. Staff therefore
recommends extending the periods of the Ut ility Trench Moratorium policy. The longer restriction
periods will extend the life and structure of the pavement. It is also recommended that , like many of the
neighboring agencies, the City require resurfacing at least the length of excavation from curb to curb or
from curb line to the raised median.
PURPOSE
To revise the existing Utility Trench Moratorium policy by increasing the moratorium periods from one
to three year moratorium for streets receiving a slurry or chip seal and increasing from three to five year
moratorium for newly constructed, reconstructed, and overlaid streets.
In order to clarify the procedures for trench repair requirements for streets under moratorium, the City
has adopted a new construction standard CVCS-#New “Moratorium Roadway Trench Resurfacing.”
PROCEDURES
1. Trench Cut Moratorium
3-year moratorium for streets receiving a sealcoat, such as a slurry seal or chip seal.
5-year moratorium for newly constructed and reconstructed streets and for streets receiving
overlays and treatments one-inch thick or greater.
The moratorium shall be in force during the construction period, and the timed moratorium
period will begin upon the filing of the Notice of Completion for the construction project
including the affected streets.
For newly constructed streets, the moratorium shall begin to be enforced when the streets are
given the final pavement cap, and the timed moratorium period will begin upon the filing of

3. Excavations of streets not under the Utility Trench Moratorium
Use Chula Vista Construction Standards, CVCS 3 & 4 and CVMC Chapter 12.16.
CITY STAFF RESPONSIBILITIES AND PROCEDURES:
1. This policy requires coordination and cooperation by sections within the Engineering and
Development Services Departments. Engineering staff will provide information on streets
subject to the moratorium to Development Services staff that are responsible for issuing utility
excavation permits.
2. The Project Manager/Engineering staff will notify utility companies of pending roadway
construction and/or pavement resurfacing and rehabilitation projects.
IMPLEMENTATION
1. Streets that are constructed or rehabilitated and have received a Notice of Co mpletion (NOC) on
or after the Effective Date of this revision will be subject to all provisions of this policy.
2. Streets that have received an NOC prior to the Effective Date will be subject to the requirements
of the original moratorium policy adopted by Resolution 2012-096.

BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION

DISCUSSION
BACKGROUND
The Department of Engineering and Capital Projects staff manages the preliminary engineering,
design, construction management, and inspection of the City’s CIP projects.
It is critical that the construction management and inspection work keep pace with upcoming CIP
projects. City staff anticipates the need to secure the assistance of construction management
consultant teams on an as-needed basis for the following reasons:
1. On a typical fiscal year, the Engineering and Capital Projects Department is responsible for
about $21 million of CIP projects. Due to increase in funding associated with Measure P, the
current fiscal year’s CIP exceeds $90 million.
2. With the passage of Senate Bill 1 (SB1), new Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account
(RMRA) funds will also be available for new CIPs beginning on November 1, 2017.
3. Staff anticipates that an increase in the number of CIP projects will continue for the next few
years. Some of the large CIP projects include various disciplines such as Drainage,
Pavement, Traffic, and Wastewater.
4. The City made commitments to deliver improvements for infrastructure throughout Chula Vista
that will take significant effort to plan, fund, and construct.
5. Consultants will be able to assist with construction management and inspection when
workload exceeds existing staffing levels.
The use of outside consultants to provide technical assistance for the short-term is a more efficient
way to handle the additional workload staff anticipates.
SCOPE OF WORK
Typical services that the City may require during the construction phase of CIP projects will involve
construction management tasks such as:
- Field Inspection
- Contract Administration
- Project Management
- Stormwater Inspection
- Stormwater Compliance
The proposed contracts include/require the following:
A. Civil infrastructure construction project management and administration, inspection services or
other associated construction management services. The number and scope of projects will
vary.

File#:17-0409, Item#: 7.
B. Personnel that are experienced in a variety of construction methods, project management,
field inspection, contract administration and other related duties.
C. Services that may include:
a. Supervise and inspect traffic controls.
b. Pre-construction and post-construction stormwater monitoring and inspections.
c. Contractor compliance with federal, state and local safety rules and regulations.
d. Mandatory safety training.
e. Preparation and submittal of daily reports of construction activities in a manor
acceptable to the City.
f. Verification of contractor prevailing wage payments and compliance with federal and
state labor regulations.
g. Processing of contract change orders.
D. Billing forms and procedures acceptable to the City.
CONSULTANT SELECTION PROCESS
In August 2017, the City of Chula Vista issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to secure On-Call
CIP Construction Management Consulting Services for various projects. Nine consultant teams
responded to the RFQ.
In accordance with City ordinances and policies, the Director of Engineering and Capital Projects
assigned staff to act as a selection committee to evaluate the proposals and prepare a list ranking
the responding firms.
The selection committee evaluated and ranked the proposals. The ranking was based on an
evaluation criterion that included the following: the consultant's construction management and
inspection experience, project approach, the capacity to perform the work, the quality of the
management team, and past work references.
Five teams were selected for interviews in September 2017:
1. Klienfelder Inc. - San Diego, CA
2. TRC - San Diego, CA
3. DHS Consulting, Inc. - San Diego, CA
4. Project Professional Corporation - San Diego CA
5. Abadjis Systems Ltd. - San Diego, CA

powered by Legistar™2017-11-07 Agenda Packet Page 149
File#:17-0409, Item#: 7.
Upon the conclusion of the consultant interviews and deliberations by the consultant selection
committee, the committee selected Kleinfelder Inc., DHS Consulting, Inc., and Project Professional
Corporation as the three top ranking teams. Fee schedules and contract details have been
successfully negotiated with the teams (prime and the sub-consultants). Agreements are attached
(Attachments 1, 2 and 3).
DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and has determined that it is not site
specific and consequently, the 500-foot rule found in California Code of Regulations Title 2, section
18702.2(a)(11), is not applicable to this decision for purposes of determining a disqualifying real
property-related financial conflict of interest under the Political Reform Act (Cal. Gov't Code § 87100,
et seq.).
Staff is not independently aware, and has not been informed by any City Council member, of any
other fact that may constitute a basis for a decision maker conflict of interest in this matter.
LINK TO STRATEGIC GOALS
The City’s Strategic Plan has five major goals: Operational Excellence, Economic Vitality, Healthy
Community, Strong and Secure Neighborhoods and a Connected Community. Approving consultant
agreements for construction management and inspection work supports the Operational Excellence
goal as it provides the ability to respond to temporary increases in workload to maintain quality
inspection without an increase in permanent staff.
CURRENT YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
All fees for Consultant's services will be paid from funds already allocated for CIP or development
funded projects. Each Consultant may work on one or more CIP projects. The two year contract will
be eligible for three one-year extensions upon mutual agreement. Should the need arise to contract
for consultant services, the costs associated with delivering a project could increase as staff’s
oversight would be required in addition to the consultant fees.

4 City of Chula Vista Agreement No.: 17133
Consultant Name: Kleinfelder Construction Services, Inc. Rev. 05/30/17
payment under this Agreement, nor does it constitute a waiver of any violation by Consultant of the terms of
this Agreement. If City determines that Consultant is not entitled to receive any amount of compensation
already paid, City will notify Consultant in writing and Consultant shall promptly return such amount.
3. INSURANCE
3.1 Required Insurance. Consultant must procure and maintain, during the period of performance of

insurance using ISO CG 2010 (11/85) or its equivalent; such endorsement must not exclude
Products/Completed Operations coverage.

insurance as it pertains to the City, its officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers. Any insurance
or self-insurance maintained by the City, its officers, officials, employees, or volunteers is wholly separate
from the insurance provided by Consultant and in no way relieves Consultant from its responsibility to
provide insurance.
3.7 No Cancellation. No Required Insurance policy may be canceled by either Party during the required
insured period under this Agreement, except after thirty days’ prior written notice to the City by certified
mail, return receipt requested. Prior to the effective date of any such cancellation Consultant must procure
and put into effect equivalent coverage(s).
3.8 Waiver of Subrogation. Consultant’s insurer(s) will provide a Waiver of Subrogation in favor of the

Consultant has obtained the Required Insurance in compliance with the terms of this Agreement. The
words “will endeavor” and “but failure to mail such notice shall impose no obligation or liability of any kind
upon the company, its agents, or representatives” or any similar language must be deleted from all
certificates. The required certificates and endorsements should otherwise be on industry standard forms.
The City reserves the right to require, at any time, complete, certified copies of all required insurance
policies, including endorsements evidencing the coverage required by these specifications.
3.10 Claims Made Policy Requirements. If General Liability, Pollution and/or Asbestos Pollution

Agreement.
d. A copy of the claims reporting requirements must be submitted to the City for review.

omissions, negligence, or willful misconduct of Consultant, its officials, officers, employees, agents, and
contractors, arising out of or in connection with the performance of the Required Services, the results of
such performance, or this Agreement. This indemnity provision does not include any claims, damages,
liability, costs and expenses arising from the sole negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified
Parties. Also covered is liability arising from, connected with, caused by or claimed to be caused by the
active or passive negligent acts or omissions of the Indemnified Parties which may be in combination with

OBLIGATORY PROVISIONS
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above recitals, the covenants contained herein, and other
good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which the Parties hereby acknowledge, City and
Consultant hereby agree as follows:
1. SERVICES
1.1 Required Services. Consultant agrees to perform the services, and deliver to City the “Deliverables”
(if any) described in the attached Exhibit A, incorporated into the Agreement by this reference, within the
time frames set forth therein, time being of the essence for this Agreement. The services and/or Deliverables
described in Exhibit A shall be referred to herein as the “Required Services.”
1.2 Reductions in Scope of Work. City may independently, or upon request from Consultant, from time

codes, industry standards, and liability for damages caused by negligent acts, errors, omissions,
noncompliance with industry standards, or the willful misconduct of the Consultant or its subcontractors.
1.6 Security for Performance. In the event that Exhibit A Section 4 indicates the need for Consultant to

2017-11-07 Agenda Packet Page 200
3 City of Chula Vista Agreement No.: 17132
Consultant Name: Project Professionals Corporation Rev. 05/30/17
subcontractors and personnel utilized by the Consultant to complete its obligations under this Agreement
comply with all applicable laws, regulations, ordinances, and policies, whether federal, state, or local. In
addition, if any subcontractor is expected to fulfill any responsibilities of the Consultant under this
Agreement, Consultant shall ensure that each and every subcontractor carries out the Consultant’s
responsibilities as set forth in this Agreement.
1.10 Term. This Agreement shall commence on the earlier to occur of the Effective Date or Consultant’s
commencement of the Required Services hereunder, and shall terminate when the Parties have complied
with all their obligations hereunder; provided, however, provisions which expressly survive termination
shall remain in effect.
2. COMPENSATION
2.1 General. For satisfactory performance of the Required Services, City agrees to compensate
Consultant in the amount(s) and on the terms set forth in Exhibit A, Section 4. Standard terms for billing
and payment are set forth in this Section 2.
2.2 Detailed Invoicing. Consultant agrees to provide City with a detailed invoice for services performed
each month, within thirty (30) days of the end of the month in which the services were performed, unless

Required Services detailed in the invoice have been satisfactorily performed, City shall pay Consultant for
the invoice amount within thirty (30) days. Payment shall be made in accordance with the terms and

may be subject to a penalty of up to five percent (5%) of the amount invoiced.

Completion, the holdback amount will be issued to Consultant.
2.5 Reimbursement of Costs. City may reimburse Consultant’s out-of-pocket costs incurred by
Consultant in the performance of the Required Services if negotiated in advance and included in Exhibit A.
Unless specifically provided in Exhibit A, Consultant shall be responsible for any and all out-of-pocket

errors, omissions, negligence or acts of willful misconduct of Consultant, its agents, employees, or

2017-11-07 Agenda Packet Page 201
4 City of Chula Vista Agreement No.: 17132
Consultant Name: Project Professionals Corporation Rev. 05/30/17
payment under this Agreement, nor does it constitute a waiver of any violation by Consultant of the terms of
this Agreement. If City determines that Consultant is not entitled to receive any amount of compensation
already paid, City will notify Consultant in writing and Consultant shall promptly return such amount.
3. INSURANCE
3.1 Required Insurance. Consultant must procure and maintain, during the period of performance of
Required Services under this Agreement, and for twelve months after completion of Required Services, the
policies of insurance described on the attached Exhibit B, incorporated into the Agreement by this reference
(the “Required Insurance”). The Required Insurance shall also comply with all other terms of this Section.
3.2 Deductibles and Self-Insured Retentions. Any deductibles or self-insured retentions relating to the
Required Insurance must be disclosed to and approved by City in advance of the commencement of work.
3.3 Standards for Insurers. Required Insurance must be placed with licensed insurers admitted to
transact business in the State of California with a current A.M. Best’s rating of A V or better, or, if
insurance is placed with a surplus lines insurer, insurer must be listed on the State of California List of
Eligible Surplus Lines Insurers (LESLI) with a current A.M. Best’s rating of no less than A X. For
Workers’ Compensation Insurance, insurance issued by the State Compensation Fund is also acceptable.
3.4 Subcontractors. Consultant must include all sub-consultants/sub-contractors as insureds under its
policies and/or furnish separate certificates and endorsements demonstrating separate coverage for those not
under its policies. Any separate coverage for sub-consultants must also comply with the terms of this
Agreement.

additional insureds with respect to any policy of general liability, automobile, or pollution insurance
specified as required in Exhibit B or as may otherwise be specified by City’s Risk Manager.. The general

insurance using ISO CG 2010 (11/85) or its equivalent; such endorsement must not exclude
Products/Completed Operations coverage.
3.6 General Liability Coverage to be “Primary.” Consultant’s general liability coverage must be primary
insurance as it pertains to the City, its officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers. Any insurance
or self-insurance maintained by the City, its officers, officials, employees, or volunteers is wholly separate
from the insurance provided by Consultant and in no way relieves Consultant from its responsibility to
provide insurance.
3.7 No Cancellation. No Required Insurance policy may be canceled by either Party during the required
insured period under this Agreement, except after thirty days’ prior written notice to the City by certified
mail, return receipt requested. Prior to the effective date of any such cancellation Consultant must procure
and put into effect equivalent coverage(s).
3.8 Waiver of Subrogation. Consultant’s insurer(s) will provide a Waiver of Subrogation in favor of the
City for each Required Insurance policy under this Agreement. In addition, Consultant waives any right it
may have or may obtain to subrogation for a claim against City.

original certificates of insurance and any amendatory endorsements necessary to demonstrate to City that
2017-11-07 Agenda Packet Page 202
5 City of Chula Vista Agreement No.: 17132
Consultant Name: Project Professionals Corporation Rev. 05/30/17
Consultant has obtained the Required Insurance in compliance with the terms of this Agreement. The
words “will endeavor” and “but failure to mail such notice shall impose no obligation or liability of any kind
upon the company, its agents, or representatives” or any similar language must be deleted from all
certificates. The required certificates and endorsements should otherwise be on industry standard forms.
The City reserves the right to require, at any time, complete, certified copies of all required insurance
policies, including endorsements evidencing the coverage required by these specifications.
3.10 Claims Made Policy Requirements. If General Liability, Pollution and/or Asbestos Pollution
Liability and/or Errors & Omissions coverage are required and are provided on a claims-made form, the
following requirements also apply:

beginning of the work required by this Agreement.
b. Insurance must be maintained, and evidence of insurance must be provided, for at least five (5)
years after completion of the work required by this Agreement.

with a “Retro Date” prior to the effective date of this Agreement, the Consultant must purchase “extended
reporting” coverage for a minimum of five (5) years after completion of the work required by this
Agreement.
d. A copy of the claims reporting requirements must be submitted to the City for review.
3.11 Not a Limitation of Other Obligations. Insurance provisions under this section shall not be
construed to limit the Consultant’s obligations under this Agreement, including Indemnity.
3.12 Additional Coverage. To the extent that insurance coverage provided by Consultant maintains
higher limits than the minimums appearing in Exhibit B, City requires and shall be entitled to coverage for
higher limits maintained.
4. INDEMNIFICATION
4.1. General. To the maximum extent allowed by law, Consultant shall protect, defend, indemnify and
hold harmless City, its elected and appointed officers, agents, employees and volunteers (collectively,

(including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs), liability, loss, damage or injury, in law or equity, to
property or persons, including wrongful death, in any manner arising out of or incident to any alleged acts,
omissions, negligence, or willful misconduct of Consultant, its officials, officers, employees, agents, and
contractors, arising out of or in connection with the performance of the Required Services, the results of
such performance, or this Agreement. This indemnity provision does not include any claims, damages,
liability, costs and expenses arising from the sole negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified
Parties. Also covered is liability arising from, connected with, caused by or claimed to be caused by the
active or passive negligent acts or omissions of the Indemnified Parties which may be in combination with
the active or passive negligent acts or omissions of the Consultant, its employees, agents or officers, or any
third party.

forgoing, if the services provided under this Agreement are design professional services, as defined by

6 City of Chula Vista Agreement No.: 17132
Consultant Name: Project Professionals Corporation Rev. 05/30/17
California Civil Code section 2782.8, as may be amended from time to time, the defense and indemnity
obligation under Section 1, above, shall be limited to the extent required by California Civil Code section
2782.8.
4.3 Costs of Defense and Award. Included in Consultant’s obligations under this Section 4 is
Consultant’s obligation to defend, at Consultant’s own cost, expense and risk, any and all suits, actions or
other legal proceedings that may be brought or instituted against one or more of the Indemnified Parties.
Subject to the limitations in this Section 4, Consultant shall pay and satisfy any judgment, award or decree
that may be rendered against one or more of the Indemnified Parties for any and all related legal expenses
and costs incurred by any of them.

shall not be limited to insurance proceeds, if any, received by the Indemnified Parties, or by any prior or
subsequent declaration by the Consultant. Furthermore, Consultant’s obligations under this Section 4 shall
in no way limit, modify or excuse any of Consultant’s other obligations or duties under this Agreement.
4.5. Enforcement Costs. Consultant agrees to pay any and all costs City incurs in enforcing Consultant’s
obligations under this Section 4.
4.6 Survival. Consultant’s obligations under this Section 4 shall survive the termination of this

solely for Consultant, to solicit or secure this Agreement. Further, Consultant warrants and represents that it
has not paid or agreed to pay any company or person, other than a bona fide employee or approved
subcontractor working solely for Consultant, any fee, commission, percentage, brokerage fee, gift or other
consideration contingent upon or resulting from the award or making of this Agreement. Consultant further
warrants and represents that no officer or employee of City, has any interest, whether contractual, non-
contractual, financial or otherwise, in this transaction, the proceeds hereof, or in the business of Consultant
or Consultant’s subcontractors. Consultant further agrees to notify City in the event any such interest is
discovered whether or not such interest is prohibited by law or this Agreement. For breach or violation of
any of these warranties, City shall have the right to rescind this Agreement without liability.

Council accept the report.
SUMMARY
This report is provided to meet the City Charter requirement of publishing the City’s Combined
Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Equity (Schedule D) in the local
newspaper within 120 days of the close of the fiscal year. The statement was published in the
October 27
th issue of The Star News, which is the City’s adjudicated newspaper of general
circulation.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Environmental Notice
The activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the California Environmental Quality
Act State Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3) no environmental
review is required.
Environmental Determination
The Director of Development Services has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the activity is not a “Project” as
defined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines because the activity consists of a
governmental fiscal/administrative activity which does not result in a physical change in the
environment; therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, the activity is
not subject to CEQA. Thus, no environmental review is required.

1. Amended Budget column includes $6.36 million in carryovers for encumbrances ($5.06 M) and CIP projects ($1.3 M)
3. This variance occurred as a result of a sales tax payment that included Measure P proceeds accurately booked to FYE 2017, which came in
after the FY 2016/17 4th quarter budget cleanup item approved by City Council on 9/26/2017. A budget adjustment for this variance will be
included with the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report submission to City Council later in the fall.

..Title
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA ADDING TWELVE
FIREFIGHTERS TO THE AUTHORIZED STAFFING OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT (4/5 VOTE
REQUIRED)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Council adopt the resolution.
SUMMARY
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has
awarded the Chula Vista Fire Department the fiscal year 2016 Staffing for Adequate Fire and
Emergency Response (SAFER) grant to hire twelve (12) firefighters. The SAFER grant is designed to
provide funding directly to fire departments to increase or maintain the number of trained, "front line"
firefighters available in their communities. The goal of the SAFER grant is to enhance the local fire
department’s ability to comply with staffing, response and operational standards established by
National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 1710. This is a cost sharing grant over a three-year
performance period beginning January 19, 2018. The Fire Department is requesting to add twelve
new full-time employees (firefighters) as authorized staffing and to appropriate funds not provided by
the SAFER grant.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Environmental Notice
The activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the California Environmental Quality
Act State Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3) no environmental
review is required.
Environmental Determination
The Director of Development Services has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the activity is not a “Project” as
defined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines because it will not result in a physical
change in the environment; therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines,
the activity is not subject to CEQA. Thus, no environmental review is required.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
Not Applicable
DISCUSSION
On August 8, 2017 the City Council approved Resolution 2017-153, which accepted the 2016 SAFER
grant award to hire twelve (12) firefighters. The SAFER grant provides funding directly to fire
departments to increase or maintain the number of trained "front line" firefighters available in their

departments to increase or maintain the number of trained "front line" firefighters available in their
communities. The goal of the SAFER grant is to enhance the local fire department’s ability to comply
with staffing, response and operational standards established by NFPA Standard 1710.
On February 10, 2017, the Fire Department applied for the SAFER grant, and on July 28, 2017 the
Fire Department received notification of the grant award. The performance period of the grant is three
years and is slated to begin January 19, 2018.
SAFER is a cost sharing grant over a three-year performance period. Eligible costs within the grant
include salary and benefits beginning from the date of hire, which will occur prior to the fire academy.
The grant and matching funds are allocated as follows:

TOTAL $2,264,466 $1,407,642 $3,672,108
The Federal award amount for the complete performance period is $2,264,466. As a condition of the
grant, the City is required to contribute a cost match in the amount of $1,407,642, for a total project
cost of $3,672,108.
The addition of 12 new firefighters will increase staffing levels from 3.0 to 4.0 on four engine
companies for each of the three rotating shifts. Benefits of these additional firefighter positions will
include creating an Initial Attack Force (IAF) allowing immediate firefighting entry upon arrival of the
first engine on scene (Two-in, Two-out), and creating an Effective Fire Force (EFF) at structure fires
faster when compared to the current 3.0 staffing model. Currently, Department compliance with EFF
is 35%. With 12 additional firefighters, data modeling shows a compliance increase to 58% providing
a 23% improvement.
In addition, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) study findings conclude that
four person companies can complete the 22 essential firefighting functions 25% faster than an engine
company staffed with three personnel. In 2011, a Chula Vista Fire Department internal critical task
analysis was completed. The analysis demonstrated that an OSHA mandated Rapid Intervention
Crew (RIC) with a charged hose line could be deployed in 2 minutes 30 seconds with a 4.0 staffed
crew vs. 6 minutes with a 3.0 staffed crew. In the same analysis, a three-minute difference was
demonstrated when 4.0 staffed crews applied water to the fire.
These two major performance metrics described above (IAF & EFF) can be found in the table below
with current performance of the Fire Department and expected outcomes with the 12 new firefighters.

DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and has determined that it is not site
specific and consequently the 500-foot rule found in California Code of Regulations section 18704.2
(a)(1) is not applicable to this decision. Staff is not independently aware, nor has staff been informed
by any City Councilmember, of any other fact that may constitute a basis for a decision maker conflict
of interest in this matter.
LINK TO STRATEGIC GOALS
The City’s Strategic Plan has five major goals: Operational Excellence, Economic Vitality, Healthy
Community, Strong and Secure Neighborhoods and a Connected Community.
We anticipate that hiring 12 firefighters will improve firefighting performance metrics and move the
Fire Department and the City towards improved operational delivery by placing four firefighter’s on-
scene at a fire within 6 minutes 20 seconds and 14 firefighters within 10 minutes 20 seconds. These
metrics are expected to increase efficiency by 11% and 23% respectively. This allows the Fire
Department to move closer to meeting response standards and improve current service delivery to

the citizens of Chula Vista.
Hiring 12 firefighters provides a safer and healthier work place for firefighters. This additional daily
staffing allows for optimal distribution of work and increased performance, translating to increased
effectiveness and efficiency. This in turn provides a healthier community for the citizens of Chula
Vista and further develops strong and secure neighborhoods.
CURRENT YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
Fiscal impact for FY17/18 includes entry level Fire Recruit Academy training beginning January 2018
and ending May 2018 plus salary and benefit costs as Firefighter EMTs and Paramedics through
June 30, 2018. These expenses are depicted in the table below:
SAFER Grant revenues equal 75% of the salary and benefit costs of the respective 12 FTE firefighter
positions.
No additional funding is being requested at this time. The Fire Department is working with City
Management and Finance to identify potential cost savings and additional revenues to offset the
impacts of the academy. If it is determined that additional funding will be needed in the current year,
staff will return to Council with an appropriation request at that time.
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
Ongoing fiscal impact for FY19 is depicted in the table below:
Funding for ongoing impacts will be budgeted in future budget processes. SAFER Grant revenues
reimburse the city for 75% of the salary and benefit costs of the respective 12 FTE firefighter
positions beginning January 2018 through January 2020, then transition to 35% from January 2020
through January 2021.

Staff Report
File#:17-0427, Item#: 10.
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA APPROVING AN
AGREEMENT FOR DEFERRAL OF DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES BETWEEN THE CITY AND
SETHI MANAGEMENT, INC. FOR APPROXIMATELY $1.3 MILLION IN FEES IN CONNECTION
WITH A 204-ROOM HOTEL PROJECT AT 2424 FENTON STREET
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Council adopt the resolution.
SUMMARY
Sethi Management Inc. is developing a 204-room hotel located in the Eastlake Business Center.
Once operational, the hotel will generate significant positive community impacts by creating jobs,
generating Transient Occupancy Taxes to the City, and providing visitor accommodations and
amenities. In order to make the project financially feasible, staff is recommending an agreement to
defer payment of Public Facilities and Transportation Development Impact Fees totaling
approximately $1.3 million for a period of fifty-four (54) months.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Environmental Notice
The activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the California Environmental Quality
Act State Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3) no environmental
review is required.
Environmental Determination
The Director of Development Services has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the activity is not a “Project” as
defined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines because it will not result in a physical
change in the environment; therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines,
the activity is not subject to CEQA. Thus, no environmental review is required.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
Not Applicable.
DISCUSSION
Staff recommends entering into a development impact fee deferral agreement with Sethi
Management Inc. for the development of a 204-room hotel project at 2424 Fenton Street. The
developer has pursued and secured financing to commence and complete the project, but requires
assistance in the form of a development impact fee deferral to make the project fiscally feasible.
The project is anticipated to create 50 fulltime and 20 part-time jobs and to generate approximately
$800,000 in Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) revenues to the City on an annual basis. In addition to
City of Chula Vista Printed on 11/2/2017Page 1 of 3
powered by Legistar™2017-11-07 Agenda Packet Page 235
File#:17-0427, Item#: 10.
$800,000 in Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) revenues to the City on an annual basis. In addition to
these direct economic impacts, the project will result in between 150 and 200 daily visitors staying
overnight and patronizing other local businesses. Finally, the project will provide much needed visitor
accommodations and amenities in the eastern territory.
The proposed agreement defers the Public Facilities Development Impact Fees (PFDIF) and
Transportation Development Impact Fees (TDIF) for the project, in accordance with the following
terms:
·City agrees to defer collection of PFDIF and TDIF fees due for the project for a period of fifty-
four (54) months from the date of issuance of the certificate of occupancy for the project (the
“Effective Date”).
·The deferred fees will accrue interest at a rate of 2% per annum from the Effective Date.
·Lump sum payment of the deferred fees and the interest thereon will be due fifty-four months
from the Effective Date.
·The Developer agrees to record a Trust Deed to secure repayment of the impact fee deferral.
DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council members and has found no property
holdings within 500 feet of the boundaries of the property which is the subject of this action.
Consequently, this item does not present a disqualifying real property-related financial conflict of
interest under California Code of Regulations Title 2, section 18702.2(a)(11), for purposes of the
Political Reform Act (Cal. Gov’t Code §87100,et seq.).
Staff is not independently aware, and has not been informed by any City Council member of any
other fact that may constitute a basis for a decision maker conflict of interest in this matter.
LINK TO STRATEGIC GOALS
The City’s Strategic Plan has five major goals: Operational Excellence, Economic Vitality, Healthy
Community, Strong and Secure Neighborhoods and a Connected Community. The deferral
agreement supports the Economic Vitality goal as it seeks to lower economic barriers to new growth.
CURRENT YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
All costs associated with preparation of the agreement are funded by the respective fee programs,
resulting in no net impact to the General Fund or Development Services Fund in conjunction with this
action.
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
Approval of the proposed agreement defers impact fee revenues of approximately $1.3 million that
would have otherwise been collected by the PFDIF and TDIF, as summarized in the table below.
FEE PROGRAM AMOUNT
PFDIF $122,340
TDIF $1,223,478
TOTAL $1,345,818

In order to mitigate future construction cost increases and lost investment earnings, the deferred
impact fees will accrue interest charges at a rate of 2% per year, beginning with the issuance of the
certificate of occupancy for the project.

AMENDMENT INITIATION REQUEST (IR 17-0018) AND DIRECTING STAFF TO PROCEED WITH
THE PROCESSING OF A GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT ONCE FORMALLY SUBMITTED BY THE
APPLICANT FOR A 9.6-ACRE PARCEL LOCATED SOUTHWEST OF THE INTERSECTION OF
EASTLAKE DRIVE AND SR-125
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Council conduct the public hearing, and adopt the resolution.
SUMMARY
Mid-City, LLC (the “Applicant”) is requesting a Land Use Amendment Initiation Request in order to get
an early read from the City Council regarding a proposed General Plan Amendment to change the
land use designation of a 9.6-acre vacant property from its current Open Space (OS) designation to
Limited Industrial (IL). The site is currently undeveloped with the exception of San Diego Gas &
Electric (SDG&E) power transmission lines that traverse the site from north to south. The Applicant
proposes to develop the property with a self-storage facility on the site.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Environmental Notice
The activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the California Environmental Quality
Act State Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3) no environmental
review is required. In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, the activity qualifies for an Exemption
pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the California Environmental Quality Act State Guidelines.
Environmental Determination
Because this activity will not result in any approval or denial of said proposed potential land use plan
amendments or rezoning actions and because City Council will conduct a complete review of said
proposed potential land use plan amendment and rezoning actions, including any required
environmental analysis, along with the merits of an accompanying proposed project, the Director of
Development Services has determined that the activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section
15378 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines because it will not result in a
physical change in the environment; therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the CEQA
Guidelines, the activity is not subject to CEQA. In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Director of Development Services has also determined that the activity qualifies for an Exemption
pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines. Thus, no environmental review is required.

DISCUSSION
Existing Site Characteristics
The site is comprised of a 9.6-acre parcel located southwest of Eastlake Drive and SR-125. The
topography of the site is gently sloping from north to south. Existing on-site vehicular circulation is
limited to a concrete apron located at the northwest corner of the site, which provides access to an
existing utility maintenance road within the SDG&E easement that runs across the property north to
south on the west side of the site.
Background
Earlier this year, the City Council approved a new process by which an applicant could request early
input from the Planning Commission or City Council regarding a proposed land use plan amendment
to the General Plan, Sectional Planning Area Plans, General Development Plans, Specific Plans, and
Precise Plans or rezoning of any property within the City of Chula Vista. An Initiation of Amendment
process was thereby approved by the adoption of City Council Ordinance Number 3404 on May 23,
2017 and added to the Chula Vista Municipal Code (CVMC) as section 19.14.800 et seq. CVMC
section 19.14.840 outlines criteria by which the Planning Commission or City Council may approve
said Initiation Request prior to formal submittal of a Land Use Amendment request. Based upon this
new process, the Applicant has submitted a request for early input on a proposed General Plan
amendment to change the existing land use designation of the subject 9.6-acre vacant parcel from
Open space (OS) to Limited Industrial (IL). The Applicant proposes ultimately to develop the site with
a new self-storage facility.
Entitlement Process
The Applicant’s desire is to construct a self-storage facility on the subject site, which would require an
amendment to the 2005 General Plan. In addition, this would require a Sectional Planning Area
(SPA) Amendment, as well as a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) and Design Review.
Findings for Approval of an Initiation of Amendments to Land Use Plans
The initiation of an amendment to a Land Use Plan may be approved by the City Council if all of the
following criteria are met:
(1) The proposed Land Use Amendment is consistent with the goals and polices of the General Plan.
(2) The proposed Land Use Plan Amendment provides equal or greater public benefit to the
community as compared to the existing land use designation, density/intensity range, or plan policy;
and
(3) Public Facilities are available to serve the proposed change in land use designation or
density/intensity, or their provision will be addressed as a component of the Land Use Plan
The proposed Land Use Amendment would allow for development of a new self-storage facility that
would help meet demand for such use by the surrounding community. The proposed use is most
consistent with the Limited Industrial Land Use Designation, and would be developed consistent with
General Plan Policy LUT4.5, which insures design compatibility with the surrounding neighborhood.
Existing public facilities are available to serve the proposed use.
DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council members and has found no property
holdings within 500 feet of the boundaries of the property which is the subject of this action.

Consequently, this item does not present a disqualifying real property-related financial conflict of
interest under California Code of Regulations Title 2, section 18705.2(a)(11), for purposes of the
Political Reform Act (Cal. Gov’t Code §87100,et seq.).
Staff is not independently aware, and has not been informed by any City Council member, of any
other fact that may constitute a basis for a decision maker conflict of interest in this matter.

Resolution No. 2017- ______
Page 2
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Chula
Vista does hereby find and determine as follows:
II. INITIATION REQUEST FINDINGS FOR OF APPROVAL
1. That the proposed Land Use Plan Amendment is consistent with the goals and
policies of the General Plan.
Approval of the Land Use Plan Amendment to change the land use designation from
Open Space (OS) to Limited Industrial (IL), in conjunction with other required
entitlements, would allow for the future development of a self-storage facility. Said
facility would help to meet the need of the surrounding community for adequate storage
space. General Plan Objective LUT 1 calls for a balance of residential and non-residential
development throughout the City. The provision of a self-storage facility in proximity to
residential uses would promote this balance of uses. In addition, the proposed self-storage
facility would be designed in such a manner that it would be consistent with Policy LUT
4.5 of the General Plan, which calls for maintaining the character and quality of the
surrounding neighborhood.
2. That the proposed Land Use Amendment provides equal or greater public benefit to
the community as compared to the existing land use designation, density/intensity
range, or plan policy.
The Land Use Amendment would allow the development of a new self-storage facility
that will fill a current market demand identified by the Applicant for such facilities in the
area. The proposed new use would be controlled and restricted by both the language of
the required Sectional Planning Area (SPA) Amendment and by the Conditional Use
Permit, in order to insure compatibility with surrounding land uses.
3. Public facilities are available to serve the proposed change in land use designation
or density/intensity, or their provision will be addressed as a component of the Land
Use Plan Amendment.
Adequate public facilities are available to serve the proposed change from OS to IL.
Existing public facilities are located north of the site in Eastlake Drive and include sewer
and water mains, storm drains and laterals. To the south are existing sewer and water
mains in St. Germain Road, which are adequately sized. The proposed layout of the
project requires connections to the existing water main in Eastlake Drive and connections
to existing water and sewer mains in St. Germain Road. Proposed onsite utilities will be
privately maintained.

DISCUSSION
Existing Site Characteristics:
The site is comprised of a 12.2 acre parcel located in the eastern portion of the City of Chula Vista
(Attachment 1-Location Map). The project site is relatively flat with a gradual slope difference
adjacent to the SDGE tower easements to the south and larger slopes around the north and east
property lines. Vehicular access is currently provided from a driveway located on Eastlake Parkway.
The parcel is surrounded by residential and an elementary school. The only current use of the 12.21
acre site is the Parkway Hills Church of the Nazarene. The remaining portion of the site is unutilized.

Residential, retention of existing church uses, and proposing additional community purpose uses.
The Applicant proposes ultimately to develop the site with new single-family homes, dog park, and a
soccer field, along with the current operation of the existing church.
Entitlement Process
The Applicant’s desire is to develop the underutilized portion of the site with single-family residential
and ancillary uses, in order to generate revenue. The proposal would require an amendment to the
General Development Plan (GDP), Sectional Planning Area (SPA) Plan, Rezone, as well as a
Tentative Subdivision Map.
Findings for Approval of an Initiation of Amendments to Land Use Plans
The initiation of an amendment to a Land Use Plan may be approved by the City Council if all of the
following criteria are met:
(1) The proposed Land Use Amendment is consistent with the goals and polices of the General Plan.
(2) The proposed Land Use Plan Amendment provides equal or greater public benefit to the
community as compared to the existing land use designation, density/intensity range, or plan policy;

and
(3) Public Facilities are available to serve the proposed change in land use designation or
density/intensity, or their provision will be addressed as a component of the Land Use Plan.
The proposed Land Use Amendment would allow for development of new single-family homes that
would help meet the demand for residential housing. The proposed use is most consistent with the
Residential Low Medium Land Use Designation, and would be developed consistent with General
Plan Policy LUT4.3, which insures design compatibility with the surrounding neighborhood. Existing
public facilities are available to serve the proposed use. The request would, however, result in an
overall deficit of Community Purpose Facility land available within the community.
DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council members and has found no property
holdings within 500 feet of the boundaries of the property which is the subject of this action.
Consequently, this item does not present a disqualifying real property-related financial conflict of
interest under California Code of Regulations Title 2, section 18705.2(a)(11), for purposes of the
Political Reform Act (Cal. Gov’t Code §87100,et seq.).
Staff is not independently aware, and has not been informed by any City Council member, of any
other fact that may constitute a basis for a decision maker conflict of interest in this matter.

SUBMITTED BY THE APPLICANT FOR A 12.2 ACRE SITE
LOCATED AT1227 EASTLAKE PARKWAY
WHEREAS, the parcel of land that is the subject matter of this Resolution is depicted in
Exhibit “A,” attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference, and for the purpose of
general description consists of 12.2 acres located at 1227 Eastlake Parkway, (Project Site);
and
WHEREAS, on August 16, 2017, a duly verified application for an Initiation Request
was filed with the City of Chula Vista Development Services Department by Parkway Hills
Church of the Nazarene (Applicant); and
WHEREAS, the Applicant seeks to obtain early public notification and input by the City
Council of certain future proposed land use plan amendments and rezoning entitlement actions
on potential land use revisions; and
WHEREAS, this activity will not result in any approval or denial of said proposed
potential land use plan amendments and rezoning actions and because City Council will conduct
a complete review of said proposed potential land use plan amendment and rezoning actions,
including any required environmental analysis, along with the merits of an accompanying
proposed project, the Director of Development Services has determined that the activity is not a
“Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
Guidelines because it will not result in a physical change in the environment; therefore, pursuant
to Section 15060(c)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines, the activity is not subject to CEQA. In addition,
notwithstanding the foregoing, the Director of Development Services has also determined that
the activity qualifies for an Exemption pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines.
Thus, no environmental review is required; and
WHEREAS, the Director of Development Services set the time and place for a hearing
on the Initiation Request application, and notice of the hearing, together with it purpose, was
given by its publication in a newspaper of general circulation in the City, and its mailing to
property owners and residents within 500 feet of the exterior boundaries of the property at least
10 days prior to the hearing; and

Resolution No. 2017-_____
Page 2
WHEREAS, the hearing was held at the time and place as advertised in the Council
Chambers, 276 Fourth Avenue, before the City Council and the hearing was thereafter closed.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Chula Vista
that it hereby makes the following findings:
(1) The proposed Land Use Plan Amendment or rezone is consistent with the goals and
policies of the General Plan;
For the portion of the site proposed for rezoning from Community Purpose Facility to a
residential zone, the current General Plan land use designation is Residential Low
Medium. Approval of the Land Use Amendment, in conjunction with other required
entitlements, would allow for the future development of single-family homes consistent
with the General Plan. Said development would help to meet the need of the surrounding
community for additional housing. General Plan Objective LUT 1 calls for a balance of
residential and non-residential development throughout the City. The provision of single-
family homes in proximity to other uses in the area would promote this balance of uses.
In addition, the proposed uses would be designed in such a manner that the site would be
consistent with Policy LUT 4.3 of the General Plan, which calls for maintaining the
character and quality of the surrounding neighborhood.
(2) The proposed Land Use Plan Amendment or rezone provides equal or greater
public benefit to the community as compared to the existing land use designation.
The Land Use Amendment would allow the development of new single-family homes
that will fill a current market demand identified by the Applicant. The General Plan also
recognizes the need for more housing to accommodate Chula Vista and the region’s
future growth projections. The Housing Element of the General Plan encourages a more
diverse and balanced housing through new construction opportunities in eastern Chula
Vista. However, the Chula Vista Municipal Code requires all land within a Planned
Community (PC) zone to provide adequate land designated as Community Purpose
Facilities (CPF) uses to serve the residents of the planned community. The Applicant
would be providing some additional community purpose facility uses on the unutilized
portion of the site, such as a dog park and a soccer field in addition to maintaining the
Church use. However, the land use change to provide the single-family homes would
result in a reduction of the overall Community Purpose Facility land available for the
Eastlake II Greens Sectional Planning Area.
(3) Public facilities are available to serve the proposed change in land use designation
or density/intensity, or their provisions will be addressed as a component of the
Land Use Plan Amendment or rezoning process.
The public facilities provisions will be addressed as a component of the Land Use
Amendment or rezoning process. It will address the adequacy of the existing water,
sewer, and utilities to potentially serve the future use. Infrastructure is currently in place
for the existing church on the site and may be adequate or expanded to provide for the
future uses.

PRESENTATION OF THE FINAL REPORT ON THE COST RECOVERY, RESOURCE ALLOCATION
AND REVENUE ENHANCEMENT STUDY
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA AMENDING CERTAIN
SECTIONS OF CHAPTER 7 (RECREATION) OF THE CITY’S MASTER FEE SCHEDULE
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Council accept the report and adopt the resolution.
SUMMARY
In 2014, the City of Chula Vista hired a national consultant firm, PROS Consulting Inc., to conduct a
Cost Recovery, Resource Allocation and Revenue Enhancement Study in an effort to continually
improve and to enhance services and overall organizational effectiveness within the Recreation
Department. An analysis of pricing, operational strategies and working methodologies were
developed, including a schedule of recommended fees. Staff recommends that the City Council
accept the final report and adopt the resolution updating the City’s Master Fee Schedule accordingly.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Environmental Notice
The activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the California Environmental Quality
Act State Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3) no environmental
review is required.
Environmental Determination
The proposed activity has been reviewed for compliance with the California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA) and it has been determined that the activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section
15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines because it will not result in a physical change in the
environment; therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, the activity is
not subject to CEQA. Thus, no environmental review is required.
DISCUSSION
In June 2014, a project team was established with City staff from the Recreation, Public Works
(Operations) and Finance Departments to work with PROS Consulting, Inc. to accomplish the
following:
·review current practices and existing policies related to facility reservations and program fee
development (cost recovery, core services and revenue sources);
·proactively engage with the community regarding current pricing satisfaction, future potential
pricing methodologies, and likelihood of supporting scholarship fund for low-income residents;
City of Chula Vista Printed on 11/2/2017Page 1 of 10
powered by Legistar™2017-11-07 Agenda Packet Page 288
File#:15-0572, Item#: 13.
·identify true costs of operations;
·identify opportunities to enhance and leverage the financial resources of the City of Chula
Vista in providing recreation facilities and services;
·update the City’s Master Fee Schedule for Recreation Fees (Chapter 7);
·introduce philosophy of service classification (Core/Essential, Important and Value-Added);
·develop a prioritized decision-making roadmap supported by a logical resource allocation
model and pricing strategies; and
·develop a dynamic and realistic action plan to recover costs and be financial sustainable.
The study and recommendations have taken over 3 years to complete due to a number of factors,
including an extended period of time in 2015 in which the Parks & Recreation Commission did not
have enough commissioners to have a quorum, scheduling and coordination amongst multiple
departments, and continued availability of an outside consultant working on other projects.
KEY RECOMMENDATIONS
The following recommendations provide guidance for City leadership and the Recreation Department
in the implementation of fees, methodologies and practices. Consistent measurement and tracking
as well as on-going communication with the community will be critical to ensure success and support
in the implementation process.
Recommendation #1 - Incorporate Program Based Pricing Philosophy Based on Exclusivity and
Levels of Benefit: It is recommended that the City adopt pricing strategies based on exclusivity of use
and levels of individual versus community benefit. Staff has developed a comprehensive program
classification matrix that categorizes all current offerings in one of three categories based on this
Pricing Philosophy.
¨This philosophy ensures core programs have highest level of general fund subsidy while value
-added programs have lowest level of general fund subsidy. The following range of cost
recovery goals is proposed for program areas that fall in each category. The range of cost
recovery goals for each classification was based on nationwide best practices.
n Core/Essential Programs (0% - 30% cost recovery)
n Important Programs (31% - 70% cost recovery)
n Value-Added Programs (71% - 100% cost recovery)
The basis for determining where each recreation program should fall is built upon two fundamental
values: exclusivity and level of community benefit. The greater the community benefit the more likely
it is to be core/essential; the greater the individual benefit the program is likely to be value-added.
The model has three tiers (core/essential, important and value-added) which pose a series of
questions that help the department determine where each program falls within the stated bands of
cost recovery. The series of questions include:
1. Is it part of the mission?
2. Is it expected by the community?
3. Does it serve the broad community or just a small group of people?
The answers to these questions helps determine what classification the program should fall under.

File#:15-0572, Item#: 13.
The Recreation Department will annually review and update the classification of programs which are
consistently offered and will evaluate each new offering using the aforementioned model in
determining program classification. The following tables list program classifications for currently or
previously offered programs.

File#:15-0572, Item#: 13.
Recommendation #2 - Offer Base Prices with Resident and/or Nonprofit Discounts:Create a base
fee structure for all offerings and rentals with discounts for residents and nonprofits. The Department
would institute a higher base fee for offerings and services but residents (upon providing proof of
residency) would receive a resident discount. Nonprofits would also receive discounts upon providing
their nonprofit tax ID.
·A resident shall be considered any person residing within the City limits or any person owning
property in the City. (“Resident”). In order to qualify for Resident pricing, the Resident must
supply proof of residency or property ownership, by one of the following methods: Valid
California Driver’s License, or official identification (“I.D.”) card issued by the Department of
Motor Vehicles for non-drivers, displaying a City address on the license or I.D..
·Current year utility bill, in the Resident’s name, for an address within the City.
·Current year property tax statement, in the Resident’s name, for an address within the City.
Recommendation #3 - Offer Differential Pricing Rates (Timing / Residency Rates):Establish
differential and tiered pricing structures for all offerings. It is an industry best-practice to establish a
tiered structure that accounts for differential pricing strategies such as resident / non-resident, prime
time / non-prime time, weekday / weekend, quality of the instructor, etc. It, thus, ensures that the
pricing accurately reflects the value of the experience received by the users. One component of this
should be pricing based on time of use e.g. time of day, and weekday versus Saturday.
City of Chula Vista Printed on 11/2/2017Page 4 of 10
powered by Legistar™2017-11-07 Agenda Packet Page 291
File#:15-0572, Item#: 13.
Options in pricing of services allow users to pick and choose what components of the service they
want and allow staff to provide a tiered range of service offerings. This approach is helpful in the
establishment of multi-tiered pricing and allows users to pick and choose what level of quality or
quantity they want and will pay for accordingly.
Differential pricing options encourage users to move to a classification that best fits their schedule
and price point. These pricing options provide opportunities for staff to maximize utilization and
revenue generation for facility rentals and program offerings. The pricing options below include some
that Chula Vista currently offers and some others that could be evaluated by staff for future offerings.
·Primetime ·Incentive Pricing
·Non-primetime ·Length of Stay Pricing
·Season and Off-season Rates ·Cost Recovery Goal Pricing
·Multi-tiered Program Pricing ·Level of Exclusivity Pricing
·Group Discounting and Packaging ·Age Segment Pricing
·Volume Pricing ·Equipment Pricing
Recommendation #4 - Annually Update Cost of Service Model: Continue to track indirect and
overhead costs (including custodial, park maintenance, etc.) to identify the true cost of offering a
service. Annually update the model with data captured during the year and communicate the cost of
service to the staff and users on an on-going basis.
The chart below is a sample of the Cost of Service Model identifying the total cost of offering the
listed programs, including indirect and overhead costs, as well as listing the cost recovery
percentages of the programs, and total cost per unit.

the program and the desired full cost recovery percentage to derive the recommended base fee and
recommended resident discounted fee. The chart below reflects the data from the cost of service
model in the previous chart.

powered by Legistar™2017-11-07 Agenda Packet Page 293
File#:15-0572, Item#: 13.
Recommendation #5 - Incorporate City’s Asset Management Program Into Recreation Fees: A large
number of existing parks and facilities as well as amenities within the facilities are aging and are at or
near the end of their lifecycles. While the on-going asset lifecycle replacement study will provide
clarity on future needs, ensuring a pricing structure that supports long term capital improvement and
deferred maintenance is critical to the success of our recreation programs as the population served
by the city and the demand for parks and recreation offerings increases.
Recommendation #6 - Seek Non-Traditional Funding Sources: More and more parks and recreation
agencies are looking to partnerships and creative revenue generating sources as a means to ensure
long-term financial sustainability without burdening the existing user base. Pursue new earned
income options as a way to ensure greater financial sustainability. Some examples would be to
explore sponsorship, naming rights and advertising partnerships or to identify potential crowdfunding
projects to be funded through existing platforms, such as Razoo.com, Indiegogo.com, or NRPA’s
Fund Your Park Program.
Recommendation #7 - Update the City’s Master Fee Schedule - Proposed Fees and Charges: Staff
recommends adoption of the Master Fee Schedule amendments to Municipal Code Chapter 7 -
Recreation Fees (Attached Resolution with Exhibit 1 - Redline Master Fee Schedule, Chapter 7 -
Recreation Fees).
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
On September 5, 2017, the Parks & Recreation Commission, voted unanimously in support of the
following recommendations:
·Incorporate Program Based Pricing Philosophy Based on Exclusivity and Levels of (Individual
versus Community) Benefit
·Offer Base Prices with Resident and/or Nonprofit Discounts
·Offer Differential Pricing Rates (Prime-Time and Non-Prime Time rates)
·Annually Update the Cost of Service Model
·Incorporate City’s Asset Management Program into Recreation Fees
·Seek Non-Traditional Funding Sources
·Update Master Fee Schedule
COMMUNITY SURVEY
An online survey was administered to the Chula Vista community during the month of April 2015. This
survey focused on the level of community support initiating a new fee policy and pricing structure.
City of Chula Vista Printed on 11/2/2017Page 7 of 10
powered by Legistar™2017-11-07 Agenda Packet Page 294
File#:15-0572, Item#: 13.
survey focused on the level of community support initiating a new fee policy and pricing structure.
Staff publicized the availability of the survey and encouraged participation through email blasts
through ActiveNet. Additionally, staff printed copies of the survey in English and Spanish and had
those available at every recreation center to ensure people had the opportunity to participate in the
process.
The survey received a total of 1,209 responses which is among the highest response rates the
consulting firm has seen nationwide. Over 90% of all respondents were Chula Vista residents so the
survey had over 1,000 responses from Chula Vista residents alone.
The recommendations are based on the following:
·Community input from public meetings
·1,200+ online survey responses. Surveys were available at recreation facilities in both English
and Spanish.
·Comparable information from benchmarked sources
·Available direct, indirect and overhead cost data supplemented by staff assumptions
·Parks and Recreation Commission input
·Iterative staff feedback across multiple departments
·Consultant’s operational experiences and nationwide best practices
The meetings and surveys provided community feedback on pricing, operational strategies and
working methodologies and help guide the key recommendations.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
Chula Vista Recreation staff helped organize six open public meetings in October 2014, September
2015, and October 2017. These meetings were held at Norman Park Senior Center, Montevalle
Community Center, and Salt Creek Recreation Center. These meetings were publicized through
written invitation letters, email notifications through the Recreation Department’s software system for
program registration and facility booking called ActiveNet, publicity at the Centers, social media
through the Recreation Department’s and City of Chula Vista’s Facebook pages, and word of mouth.
The goal of the meetings was to obtain broad community input and preferences for revenue and
pricing strategies including differential pricing, scholarships, non-resident fees and various potential
revenue sources. Attendees provided a wide range of opinions and a broad consensus on several
key issues during the meetings early in the process. As a result of the final community meetings,
there were no objections to the findings and recommendations of this study.
CONSISTENT RESERVATION POLICY & PROCESS

to provide consistency in policy and processes regarding facility reservations. These policies and
processes are to be included in the Master Fee Schedule update.

ELIMINATION OF CLEANING/DAMAGE DEPOSITS
Through analyzing the cost benefits versus the time spent (indirect expenses) on administering the
deposit collection and refunding process, it was found that the costs significantly outweighed the
revenue generated from the rare instance that the deposit was retained. Therefore, it is
recommended the cleaning/damage deposits for the Recreation facility rentals be eliminated.
DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and has determined that it is not site
specific and consequently, the 500-foot rule found in California Code of Regulations section 18704.2
(a)(1), is not applicable to this decision. Staff is not independently aware, and has not been informed
by any City Council member, of any other fact that may constitute a basis for a decision maker
conflict of interest in this matter.
LINK TO STRATEGIC GOALS
The City’s Strategic Plan has five major goals: Operational Excellence, Economic Vitality, Healthy
Community, Strong and Secure Neighborhoods and a Connected Community. The Cost Recovery,
Resource Allocation and Revenue Enhancement Study, has identified opportunities to improve and
enhance services and overall organizational effectiveness (Operational Excellence), improve the
financial sustainability of the Recreation Department and Public Works Operations of custodial, park
maintenance and water (Economic Vitality), evaluated resources and partnership opportunities to
provide diversified activities for all to promote healthy lifestyles (Healthy Community), educated the
community on recreational opportunities through surveys (Strong and Secure Neighbors) and
involved community engagement through meetings with community members and partners
(Connected Community).
CURRENT YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
Fiscal impact for FY 2017-18 will vary based upon program and facility rental volume. Staff
recommends the implementation of the proposed fees become effective April 1, 2018, the beginning
of the Spring Quarter of FY 2017-18. This recommendation is based on building adequate time to
communicate the upcoming change to the community and users who may be impacted by the
change.
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
Ongoing fiscal impacts will vary based upon future program and facility rental activity. Future budgets
will be adjusted to reflect actual revenue activity.

Cost Recovery, Resource Allocation And Revenue Enhancement Study
1
- EXECUTIVE SUMMARY CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION 1.1
The City of Chula Vista
Recreation Department
(“Department”) undertook a cost
recovery, resource allocation and
revenue enhancement study to
update the existing fee
schedule’s fees and charges
through a policy and philosophy
based approached. This would
help to establish a consistent and
defensible mechanism to classify
offerings based on benefits
received by individual users and
the community at large.
The objective of this plan is not
to become a procedural manual
or provide recommendations set
in stone but rather to serve as a dynamic tool and a philosophical guide to help the staff continue to update
procedures associated with cost recovery and pricing. This study is intended to serve as a framework for how
the pricing policy will continue to evolve in the future. The alternative pricing strategies and revenue
generation resources are suggestions based on successful examples implemented by other park and recreation
systems and which the staff indicated they would be interested in pursuing.
PROS Consulting Inc. a national management consulting firm located in Indianapolis, IN, which specializes in
the parks and recreation industry, has partnered with the Recreation Department, the Public Works
Department and city staff in this planning process which included the following steps:
1. Conduct meetings with staff, elected officials and commission members on issues concerning the plan.
2. Benchmark fees and charges and pricing practices with those of other park and recreation agencies.
3. Develop a cost of service model to identify true costs for all offerings.
4. Recommend service classifications for each program as one of the following: core essential, important
or value added.
5. Develop cost recovery and policy recommendations based on the service classifications.

PROJECT PROCESS 1.2
KEY RECOMMENDATIONS 1.3
These recommendations are guidelines for the City leadership and the Recreation Department to follow. It is
important to keep a flexible approach as it applies to implementation of the recommendations. Consistent
measurement and tracking as well as on-going communication with the community will be critical to ensure
buy-in for the process.
The recommendations are based on the following:
Community input from public meetings
1200+ online and print survey responses in English and Spanish obtained from every recreation facility
Comparable information from benchmarked sources
Available direct, indirect and overhead cost data supplemented by staff assumptions
Parks and Recreation Commission input
Iterative staff feedback across multiple City departments
Consultant’s operational experiences and nationwide best practices
How do we classify and manage our
services based on our mission, the
cultural context of Chula Vista and
within the financial realities of our
economy?
What is the true cost us to perform
our services and what are the best
methods of managing these costs?
What practices and
successful strategies are
being utilized by arts,
recreation and community
service systems similar to
Chula Vista?
What are the recommended cost
recovery strategies, to improving the
long-term financial viability of the
Chula Vista Recreation Department?

The following are the key recommendations that are outlined in detail in Chapter 6 and Chapter 7 of this
report.
Key Recommendations
1. Incorporate Program Based Pricing Philosophy Based on Exclusivity and Levels of (Individual versus
Community) Benefit
2. Offer Base Prices with Resident and/or Nonprofit Discounts
3. Offer Differential Pricing Rates (Prime-Time and Non-Prime Time rates)
4. Annually Update the Cost of Service Model
5. Incorporate City’s Asset Management Program into Recreation Fees
6. Seek Non-Traditional Funding Sources
7. Update Master Fee Schedule

CONCLUSION 1.4
The key to a successful plan and philosophy centers on knowing the true costs to produce a service or product
and using a consistent process to manage, expand or eliminate offerings based on community values and
financial goals. The expectation is not that the plan is perfect from the start but that it is realistic and
dynamic, thus allowing the staff to continue using and updating it over time.
Pricing of services is a dynamic process and complex process. By recommending a consistent philosophy driven
by service classifications, cost recovery goals and differential pricing, th e proposed plan supports Council goals
and establishes a sustainable process for cost recovery in the future.
The pursuit of earned income dollars should continue to be emphasized, and support and training should be
provided to staff to ensure the plan’s success in achieving the desired results. Additionally, updating the cost
of service model annually will allow staff to reflect revenue and expense updates accurately in the updated
Master Fee Schedule. If the recommendations are implemented in their entirety, based on current projections
and market conditions, it is realistic to estimate a 5% - 10% increase in as a combination of increased revenue
and streamlined expenses (as well as operational efficiencies). This could translate into an impact of $100,000
- $200,000 on the bottom line in the upcoming year, which will go a long way towards helping the Recreation
Department achieve increased financial sustainability.
The recommendations outlined recognize Chula
Vista’s growing and diverse population, the socio-
environment and the need to ensure long-term
financial sustainability.
Lastly, a successful plan implementation requires a
focused persistence but also warrants patience in
implementing, tracking and modifying strategies
based on their success or failure. It is important to
bear in mind that this plan is meant to be a
guideline that helps elevate the data-driven
decision making process of the Recreation
Department and thus lead to long-term financial
sustainability.
Supportive leadership and trained staff who all buy into the collective vision and consistently communicate
that vision to all users will be the key to ensuring that the Recreation Department meets the community needs
in a financially sustainable manner for years to come.

- COMMUNITY INPUT CHAPTER TWO
PUBLIC MEETING SUMMARY 2.1
Chula Vista staff helped organize open public meetings in
October 2014 at two locations: Norman Park Senior Center and
Montevalle Community Center. They were also followed by a
second round of meetings at the same sites in September 2015.
These meetings were publicized by City staff through written
invitation letters, email blasts, publicity specifically at the
centers and word of mouth.
The goal of the first set of meetings was to obtain broad
community input and their preferences for a host of revenue
and pricing decisions ranging from differential pricing to
scholarships and nonresident fees to new revenue sources. The
second set of meetings shared initial findings and
recommendations in order to gather community feedback and
keep them updated with the progress. There were over fifty attendees who expressed a wide range of
opinions, and a broad consensus on several key issues.
The following table demonstrates the summary findings from the public meetings.
Issues Community Feedback
Resident / Nonresident pricing Most would support instituting a higher fee structure for
nonresidents who use City Services
Basic / Intermediate Programs
There was a split between those who would and would not
support user fee increases based on the advanced/specialized
nature of certain programs or services
Admin Fee
Respondents indicated they would support an administrative fee
support if there was assurance that the fees collected would be
used towards a specific park or facility, or for maintenance or
enhancement of that park or facility
Price Discount (Non-prime time)
Respondents would support a price discount to attend programs
at a less convenient location or time but were uncertain about
price increase for prime time slots.
Willingness to pay more to create a self-
sustaining Scholarship Fund? Yes, a majority of respondents indicated they would support

COMMUNITY ON-LINE SURVEY 2.2
An online survey powered by Survey Monkey was administered to the Chula Vista community during the months
of March - April 2015. This survey focused on how supportive the community was of initiating new fee policy
and pricing structure. Staff conducted outreach and community engagement via email blasts and online
communication. Additionally, staff printed copies of the survey in English and Spanish and had made the copies
available at each center to ensure greater access and participation.
The survey received a total of 1,209 responses which is among the highest response rates the consulting firm
has ever seen and speaks highly of staff’s extensive efforts and an engaged community.
Below are summary responses from those surveys, followed by select open ended comments received during
the survey process.
2.2.1 ARE YOU A RESIDENT (HAVING MAIL DELIVERED TO AN ADDRESS IN CHULA VISTA)?
About 10% of all respondents were nonresidents which means over 1,000 respondents were residents of Chula
Vista. This indicates that the survey findings reflect true community findings and represent the audience that
the Department and City serves.

2.2.2 WOULD YOU SAY YOU ARE SATISFIED OR DISSATISFIED WITH THE VALUE RECEIVED FOR
THE AMOUNT PAID TO RECEIVE CITY OF CHULA VISTA RECREATION SERVICES?
The respondents indicated a very high level of satisfaction with the value they received for what they paid.
Nearly 80% of all respondents stated that they were somewhat or very satisfied, which compares favorably to
results the consultant team has seen nationwide.
2.2.3 I WOULD SUPPORT INSTITUTING A HIGHER FEE STRUCTURE FOR NONRESIDENTS WHO USE
CITY OF CHULA VISTA RECREATION SERVICES.
Over 70% of all respondents indicated support for higher nonresident fees to be charged while 27% did not
support it. However, one must keep in mind that 10% of all respondents were nonresidents hence the
opposition to nonresident fee from actual residents is expected to be much less, and indicates a high
preference for differential pricing for residents versus nonresidents.

2.2.4 I WOULD SUPPORT A FEE STRUCTURE WHERE THE USER FEE INCREASES BASED ON
ADVANCED OR SPECIALIZED NATURE OF THE PROGRAM OR SERVICE.
A majority (52%) supported having higher fees for specialized programs versus introductory level programs or
services offered by the Department.
2.2.5 I WOULD SUPPORT PAYING A HIGHER PRICE FOR AN INSTRUCTOR WITH SPECIALIZED
CREDENTIALS VERSUS AN INSTRUCTOR WITH THE MINIMUM NECESSARY.
Over 2/3rds of all respondents (67%) supported having higher fees for instructors with specialized credentials
for programs services offered by the Department. This indicates a willingness to pay higher fees based on the
quality of the experience offered by a higher quality or specialized instructor.

2.2.6 I WOULD SUPPORT A FEE STRUCTURE THAT INCLUDES AN ADMINISTRATIVE FEE THAT
HELPS FUND THE MAINTENANCE OR ENHANCEMENT OF CITY OF CHULA VISTA PARKS,
FACILITIES AND PROGRAMS.
The results were evenly split between those willing to pay an additional administrative fee to help fund
maintenance versus those that were against it and thus it does not appear to be a viable recommendation at
this point based on community feedback.
2.2.7 I WOULD SUPPORT A PRICE DISCOUNT TO ATTEND PROGRAMS AT A LESS CONVENIENT
LOCATION OR TIME. (EXAMPLE: MUCH LIKE A MOVIE TICKET FOR A MATINEE ACROSS TOWN
VS. EVENING AT A CLOSER LOCATION).

2.2.8 I WOULD BE WILLING TO PAY A SLIGHTLY HIGHER FEE TO SUPPORT A SELF-SUSTAINING
SCHOLARSHIP FUND THAT WOULD HELP PROVIDE SCHOLARSHIPS FOR THOSE UNABLE TO
AFFORD THE CITY’S RE CREATION OFFERINGS.
The results were evenly split between those not willing versus those willing to pay a slightly higher fee to help
support a self-sustaining scholarship fund to help those who may be unable to afford the offerings. It is
important to note that the Recreation Department had a scholarship fund in the past but it was eliminated due
to budget cuts.
2.2.9 OPEN ENDED FEEDBACK
The following are select comments taken from the open ended survey comment box.
Norman Park Senior Center
Great job
Limited pension, retired, no family. Norman Park is a social place for retired persons with limited
income.
Montevalle Recreation Center
Very reasonable price. Great instructors and staff.
I like it. Everything: price, diversity of activities, all.

Heritage Park
Higher costs = less participants
I don't think prices are neither cheap nor expensive. But I truly believe that prices are ok for what Rec.
offers.
If the fees increase, I would not be able to participate. I come here because it is affordable. If I
wanted someone more expensive, I would take my child somewhere else.
Those who cannot afford these programs already get free preschool!
If prices stay low, there would not be much need for scholarships. We use recreation services because
they are priced decent. If prices increase, they would be more than other services in the area (YMCA,
after school, etc.) and we may choose those instead.
Otay Recreation Center
I take my child to Apples to Zebra for Teacher “___” and Teacher “___”. (names removed to protect
privacy) I would pay extra if they were trained with credentials!
I'd be fine with paying a higher price for better equipment.
Pricing is very fair.
Having two girls in sports, we need to make skill development a priority and need coaches who know
how to coach. I would be very willing to pay more for this. Also would pay more for girls’ only sports!
If fees go up then class size needs to go down, especially for swim lessons.
I believe we pay higher fees for those classes with independent contractor teachers (art, cooking,
certain of the language courses) already. Appreciate those offerings greatly!
Prices are way too much for recreation
Your programs are a gift to our community. You need to charge what you must to sustain good teachers
and employees and maintain the facilities. We have greatly appreciated the classes for special needs
kids. We have also enjoyed swim lessons and some of your free soccer and basketball classes. We live
on very little and are grateful for the reasonable fees for these classes. If you must raise your prices,
then do it and God will help those of us that need it.
I think your services are very affordable & that's the reason why so many people enroll in your
programs. If you raise those fees, you run the risk of losing a lot of customers, because if your fees are
about the same as someone closer to them, they might just go there instead.
I support any raise hike that subsidizes financial aid or education.
I am generally against increased rates of any kind.
I am thankful for the wonderful staff at all the recreational locations. I have always been impressed
with dedication and kindness of the instructors my children have been with. Thank you.
I would support a lesser fee for services for residents of Chula Vista for use of recreational facilities

- COMMUNITY PROFILE CHAPTER THREE
DEMOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS 3.1
The Demographic Analysis provides an understanding of the population within the City of Chula Vista,
California. This analysis is reflective of the total population, and its key characteristics such as age segments,
income levels, race, and ethnicity.
It is important to note that future projections are all based on historical patterns. Unforeseen circumstances
could have a significant bearing on the validity of the final projections.
3.1.1 DEMOGRAPHIC OVERVIEW
The total population within the Chula Vista jurisdictional boundary had an increase of approximately 2.7% from
243,916 in 2010 to 250,584 in 2013. The current estimated population is projected to reach 263,637 in 2018,
and total 288,259 by 2028.
According to the U.S. Census reports, the total number of households has increased by approximately 2%, from
75,515 in 2010 to 77,046 in 2013. The total number of households is expected to grow to 80,668 by 2018 and
reach 87,112 by 2028.
The city’s median household income of $63,207 is above the state and national averages, while per capita
income ($25,279) falls below both averages.
Based on the 2010 Census, the population of the Chula Vista is much younger (33.7 years) than the median age
of the U.S. (37.2 years). Projections show that the target area will undergo an aging trend, with the 55+ group
growing to represent 25.7% of the total population by 2028.
The majority of the estimated 2013 population is White Alone (53.28%), with the Some Other Race (20.67%)
representing the largest minority, while those of Hispanic/Latino origin represent 59.42% of the populace.
Future projections through 2028 expect the White Alone segment to decrease minimally to 51.91% of the total
population, followed by the Some Other Race (22.58%) and Asian (14.52%) minorities. The Hispanic ethnicity is
forecasted to increase to 65.88% of the total population by 2028.

3.1.2 METHODOLOGY
Demographic data used for the analysis was obtained from U.S. Census Bureau and from Environmental Systems
Research Institute, Inc. (ESRI), the largest research and development organization dedicated to Geographical
Information Systems (GIS) and specializing in population projections and market trends. All data was acquired
in July 2014 and reflects actual numbers as reported in the 2010 Censuses, and estimates for 2013 and 2018 as
obtained by ESRI. Straight line linear regression was performed by PROS for the projected 2023 and 2028
demographics. The geographic boundary of the City of Chula Vista was utilized as the demographic analysis
boundary shown in Figure 1.

RACE AND ETHNICITY DEFINTIONS
The minimum categories for data on race and ethnicity for Federal statistics, program administrative reporting,
and civil rights compliance reporting are defined as below. The Census 2010 data on race are not directly
comparable with data from the 2000 Census and earlier censuses; caution must be used when interpreting
changes in the racial composition of the US population over time. The latest (Census 2010) definitions and
nomenclature are used within this analysis.
American Indian – This includes a person having origins in any of the original peoples of North and South
America (including Central America), and who maintains tribal affiliation or community attachment
Asian – This includes a person having origins in any of the original peoples of the Far East, Southeast
Asia, or the Indian subcontinent including, for example, Cambodia, China, India, Japan, Korea,
Malaysia, Pakistan, the Philippine Islands, Thailand, and Vietnam
Black – This includes a person having origins in any of the black racial groups of Africa
Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander – This includes a person having origins in any of the original
peoples of Hawaii, Guam, Samoa, or other Pacific Islands
White – This includes a person having origins in any of the original peoples of Europe, the Middle East,
or North Africa
Hispanic or Latino – This is an ethnic distinction, a subset of a race as defined by the Federal
Government; this includes a person of Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, South or Central American, or
other Spanish culture or origin, regardless of race

POPULATION
The City of Chula Vista has witnessed very little growth in recent years. From 2010 to 2013, the city’s total
population experienced an increase of 2.7%, from 243,916 to 250,584. Projecting ahead, the total population
of the target area is expected to continue to grow over the next 15 years. Based on ESRI and straight line
regression based predictions through 2028, the local population is expected to have approximately 288,259
residents living within 87,112 households. See Figure 2.

City of Chula Vista: Population by Age Segments
AGE SEGMENT
Evaluating the distribution by age segments, the city is somewhat balanced between youth, young adult,
family, and senior populations. In 2010, the largest segment by population is the 35-54 group representing
29%, and the smallest is the 55+ segment which constitutes 19.3% of the population.
Per ESRI and straight line regressions, over time, the overall composition of the population is projected to
undergo an aging trend. Based on the 2013 estimate, the 35-54 segment remains the largest age group,
constituting 28% of the population. Future projections through 2028 show that the <18 and 35-54 segments will
undergo small decreases in size as compared to the population as a whole, while the 18-34 and 55+ groups will
slowly grow. The 55+ group is expected to grow more rapidly than any other segment, with approximately
25.7% of the population by 2028. This will create an even distribution among the four major segments, with
the 55+ group representing the largest segment by a narrow margin. This is consistent with general national
trends where the 55+ age group has been growing as a result of increased life expectancies and the baby
boomer population entering that age group. See Figure 3.

RACE AND ETHNICITY
In analyzing race and ethnicity, Chula Vista is fairly diverse. The 2013 estimate shows that 53.28% of the
population falls into the White Alone category, while Some Other Race (20.67%) and Asian (14.25%) represent
the largest minorities. The Hispanic ethnic group totals 58.24% of the estimated 2013 population. ESRI and
straight line regression data projections for 2028 expect the population to remain consistent, as the White
Alone decreases slightly to 51.91% and the Some Other Race (22.58%) and Asian (22.58%) minorities undergo
minimal increases. Those of Hispanic/Latino Origin are expected to continue an upward growth trend,
climbing to 65.88% of the population by 2028. See Figure 4 and 5.

City of Chula Vista: Comparative Income Characteristics
HOUSEHOLDS AND INCOME
The City of Chula Vista’s projected
income characteristics demonstrate
steady growth trends. The median
household income is estimated to be
$63,207 in 2013 and per capita
income is an estimated $25,279. As
per ESRI and straight line regression
data, household income is projected
to grow to $123,517 by 2028, while
per capita income will reach $36,079.
The median household income
represents the earnings of all persons
age 16 years or older living together
in a housing unit. (Figure 6).
As seen in Figure 7, the city’s median household
income is above the state ($61,400) average, and is
well above the national ($52,762) average. Per
capita income falls below the state ($29,511) and
national ($27,915) averages. Future predictions
expect that both median household Income and per
capita income for the area will increase to $123,517
and $36,079, respectively, by 2028. Based on these
income characteristics, it is important to ensure a
pricing strategy that does not price people out of the
market but also focuses on financial sustainability to
ensure continued services to these populations.

RECREATION TRENDS ANALYSIS 3.3
The following tables summarize the findings from the Sports & Fitness Industry Association’s (SFIA) 2015 Sports,
Fitness and Leisure Activities Topline Participation Report, as well as the local market potential index data,
which compares the demand for recreational activities and spending of Chula Vista residents to the national
averages. While this information will be far more helpful in the Recreation Department’s Needs Assessment
process currently underway, these trends help predict demand for types of activities and thus allow the
consulting team to make market based pricing recommendations.

Information released by Sports & Fitness Industry Association’s (SFIA) 201 5 Study of Sports, Fitness, and Leisure
Participation reveals that the most popular sport and recreational activities include: fitness walking,
running/jogging, treadmill, free weights and road bicycling. Most of these activities appeal to both young and
old alike, can be done in most environments, are enjoyed regardless of level of skill, and have minimal
economic barriers to entry. These popular
activities also have appeal because of the
social aspect. For example, although
fitness activities are mainly self-directed,
people enjoy walking and biking with other
individuals because it can offer a degree
of camaraderie.
Fitness walking has remained the most
popular activity of the past decade by a
large margin, in terms of total
participants. Walking participation during
the latest year data was available (2014),
reported over 112 million Americans had
walked for fitness at least once.
From a traditional team sport standpoint,
basketball ranks highest among all sports, with approximately 23 million people reportedly participating in
2014. Team sports that have experienced significant growth in participation are rugby, lacrosse, field hockey,
ice hockey, roller hockey, and gymnastics – all of which have experienced double digit growth over the last five
years.
Between 2009 and 2014, the estimated number of “inactives” in America increased by 7.9 million individuals
(10.6%), from 74.8 million in 2013 to 82.7 million in 2014. According to the Physical Activity Council, an
“inactive” is defined as an individual age 6 and up that doesn’t take part in any “active” sport. Although
inactivity was up in 2014, the 209 million “actives” seem to be participating more often and in multiple
activities.
The Sports & Fitness Industry Association (SFIA) Sports, Fitness & Recreational Activities Topline Participation
Report 2014 was utilized to evaluate national sport and fitness participatory trends. SFIA is the number one
source for sport and fitness research. The study is based on online interviews carried out in January and
February of 2015 from nearly 11,000 individuals and households.
NOTE: In 2012, the Sports & Fitness Industry Association (SFIA) came into existence after a two-year strategic
review and planning process with a refined mission statement-- “To Promote Sports and Fitness Participation
and Industry Vitality”. The SFIA was formerly known as the Sporting Goods Manufacturers Association (SGMA).

3.3.1 NATIONAL TRENDS IN GENERAL SPORTS
The most heavily participated in sports for 2014 were golf (24.7 million) and basketball (23 million). While
both of these activities have seen declining participation levels in recent years, the number of participants for
each activity is well above the other activities in the
general sports category. The popularity of golf and
basketball can be attributed to the ability to compete
with relatively small number of participants. Golf also
benefits from its wide age segment appeal, and is
considered a life-long sport. Basketball’s success can
also be attributed to the limited amount of equipment
needed to participate and the limited space
requirements necessary, which make basketball the only
traditional sport that can be played at the majority of
American dwellings as a drive-way pickup game.
As seen below, since 2009, squash and other niche
sports, like lacrosse and rugby, have seen strong
growth. Squash has emerged as the overall fastest growing sport, as it has seen participation levels rise by
100% over the last five years. Based on survey findings from 2009-2014, rugby and lacrosse have also
experienced significant growth, increasing by 77% and 73% respectively. Other sports with notable growth in
participation over the last five years were
field hockey (42.6%), roller hockey (21.7%),
ice hockey (20%), gymnastics (16.9%), and
cheerleading (12.6%). In the last year, the
fastest growing sports were roller hockey
(33.7%), squash (12.9%), competition
boxing (12.7%), lacrosse (10.9%), and rugby
(7.9%). During the last five years, the
sports that are most rapidly declining
include wrestling (40.3% decrease), touch
football (down 32.3%), and racquetball
(24.9% decrease).
In terms of total participants, the most
popular activities in the general sports
category in 2014 include golf (24.7
million), basketball (23 million), tennis
(17.9 million), baseball (13.1 million), and
outdoor soccer (12.6 million). Although
four out of five of these sports have been
declining in recent years, the sheer
number of participants demands the
continued support of these activities.

3.3.2 NATIONAL TRENDS IN AQUATIC ACTIVITY
Swimming is unquestionably a lifetime sport, and activities in aquatics have remained very popular among
Americans. Fitness swimming is the absolute leader in multigenerational appeal with over 25 million reported
participants in 2013. NOTE: In 2011, recreational swimming was broken into competition and fitness
categories in order to better identify key trends.
Aquatic Exercise has a strong participation base, and has recently experienced an upward trend. Aquatic
exercise has paved the way for a less stressful form of physical activity, allowing similar gains and benefits to
land based exercise, including aerobic fitness, resistance training, flexibility, and better balance.
Doctors have begun recommending aquatic exercise for injury rehabilitation, mature patients, and patients
with bone or joint problems due to the significant reduction of stress placed on weight-bearing joints, bones,
muscles, and also the effect of the water in reducing swelling of injurie s.

3.3.3 NATIONAL TRENDS IN GENERAL FITNESS
National participatory trends in fitness have experienced some strong growth in recent years. Many of these
activities have become popular due to an increased interest among people to improve their health by engaging
in an active lifestyle. These activities also have very few barriers to entry, which provides a variety of
activities that are relatively inexpensive to participate in and can be performed by nearly anyone with no time
restrictions.
The most popular fitness activity by far is fitness walking, which had over 112.5 million participants in 2013,
which was a 2.9% increase from the previous year. Other leading fitness activities based on number of
participants include running/jogging (51 million), treadmill (50 million), hand weights (42 million), and
weight/resistant machines (36 million).
Over the last five years, the activities that grew most rapidly were off-road triathlons (up 123%), road
triathlons (up 92%), trail running (up 55%), high impact aerobics (55% increase), and yoga (up 33%). Most
recently, from 2013-2014, the largest gains in participation were high impact aerobics (14% increase), trail
running (up 11%), and barre (up 10%).

3.3.4 NATIONAL TRENDS IN GENERAL RECREATION
Results from the SFIA’s Topline Participation Report demonstrate increased popularity of numerous outdoor
recreation activities among Americans. Much like the general fitness activities, these activities encourage a n
active lifestyle, can be performed individually or with a group, and are not limited by time restraints. In 2014,
the most popular activities in the outdoor recreation category include road bicycling (40 million), freshwater
fishing (38 million), and day hiking (36 million).
From 2009-2014, outdoor recreation activities that have undergone large increases are adventure racing (up
136%), archery (up 33%), backpacking overnight (up 30%), and BMX bicycling (up 27%). Over the same time
frame, activities declining most rapidly were in-line roller skating (down 32%), camping within ¼ mile of home
or vehicle (down 16%), and recreational vehicle camping (down 14%). See Figure 11.

3.3.5 CHULA VISTA SPORT AND MARKET POTENTIAL
The following charts show sport and leisure market potential data from ESRI. A Market Potential Index (MPI)
measures the probable demand for a product or service in the City of Chula Vista. The MPI shows the
likelihood that an adult resident of the target area will participate in certain activities when compared to the
US National average.
The National average MPI is 100, therefore numbers below 100 represent a lower than average participation
rate, and numbers above 100 represent higher than average participation rate. The service area is compared to
the national average in four (4) categories – general sports, fitness, outdoor activity, and money spent on
miscellaneous recreation. Chula Vista demonstrates above average market potential index numbers in all
categories.
As seen in the tables below, the following sport and leisure trends are most prevalent for Chula Vista residents.
Cells highlighted in yellow indicate the top three scoring activities for each category based on the purchasing
preferences of residents.

BENCHMARK ANALYSIS 3.4
In order to evaluate how Chula Vista’s Recreation Department ranks on program and rental fees, the consulting
team in collaboration with staff identified comparable (and best practice) agencies and developed a
benchmark matrix to be used. The agencies were all based in Southern California and are ones the City often
benchmarks against routinely. Cities included in the benchmark:
Carlsbad
Poway
Escondido
Oceanside
The key findings from the benchmark indicate that Chula Vista charges much lower than all comparable
agencies.
3.4.1 PROGRAM PRICING EXAMPLES
ADULT SOFTBALL
The following chart demonstrates program fees for adult softball. By dividing the total program cost by the
number of games offered by each benchmark city we are able to figure out cost per game per team. Total cost
per game per team include the additional official’s fee.
Chula Vista adult softball program prices are among the lowest of the benchmark cities. Chula Vista also has
the lowest fee for officials at $12.00. Poway has the highest cost per game per team but do not charge an
official fee.

AQUATIC PROGRAMS
The following chart depicts open swim and learn to swim fees for each of the benchmark cities. Each
benchmark city is comparable to one another with open swim cost per visit ranging from $2-$5. Chula Vista
also offers a 10 visit pass which becomes a better deal for residents and nonresident than compared to any
other benchmark cities cost per visit for open swim.
Chula Vista again is among the lowest cost per 30 minutes for learn to swim programs. Chula Vista’s resident
rates ($3.50-$4.00) cost per 30 minutes is the lowest among all the benchmark and nonresident rates ($5.30-
$6.00) are comparable to Escondido ($5.10) and Poway ($5.82).
3.4.2 RENTAL PRICING EXAMPLES
Chula Vista’s gymnasium and pool hourly range rates are among the lowest compared to the benchmark cities.
The range includes resident and nonresident tiers as well as nonprofit pricing. Chula Vista’s hourly range rates
for multipurpose rooms are the highest at $30-$200. The multipurpose room ranges vary greatly due to the
room size and amenities included with each room rental.

- CLASSIFICATION OF SERVICES CHAPTER FOUR
FOUNDATIONAL CONCEPTS 4.1
Classifying services is an important process for an agency to follow in order to remain aligned with the
community’s interests and needs, the mission of the organization, and to sustainably operate within the bounds
of the financial resources that support it. The criteria utilized and recommended in service classification
stems from the concept’s foundation detailed by Dr. John Crompton and Dr. Charles Lamb, two Texas A & M
University professors with extensive expertise in marketing strategies for public recreation and park agencies.
In their publication, Marketing Government and Social Services, they propose that programs should be
evaluated on the criteria of type of service provided, who benefits, and who bears the cost of the program.
This concept is illustrated below:
The approach taken in this cost recovery project expands classifying services in the following ways:
For whom the program is targeted
For what purpose
For what benefits
For what cost
For what outcome
Type of
Service
•Core/Essential service
•Important service
•Value Added service
Who
Benefits?
•All the public
•Individuals who participate benefit but all members of the community benefit
in some way.
•Individual who participates
Who
Pays?
•The public through the tax system, no user charges
•Individual users pay partial costs
•Individual users pay full costs

PARAMETERS FOR CLASSIFYING SERVICE TYPES 4.2
The first milestone in this project was to develop a classification system for the services and functions of
Recreation Department that reflect the obligations of the entire Department, support functions performed,
and the value-added services that enrich both the visitor experience and generate revenues in mission-aligned
ways to help support operating costs.
The results of this process is a summary of classification definitions and criteria, recommended classification of
services provided by the Chula Vista Recreation Department, and a recommended range of cost recovery for
each service based on these assumptions.
Program and service classification is important as financial performance (cost recovery) goals are established
for each category of services. These classifications should be aligned with the existing cost recovery levels
identified in the Cost of Service model listed in the previous section and then organized to correspond with
cost recovery expectations defined for each category.
SERVICE CLASSIFICATION PROCESS 4.3
The service classification process consisted of the following steps:
1. Confirm the definition for each classification of service that fits the expectations of the Recreation
Department, their ability to meet public needs within the appropriate areas of service, and the mission
and core values of the community and the respective areas.
2. Develop criteria that can be used to evaluate each service and function within the Recreation
Department, and assign a classification that is defensible and logical.
3. Establish a range of cost recovery that can be attributed to each area listed within the service
classifications. The established range can then serve as a target for staff to work towards achieving
through a combination of reduced costs, as well as revenues from fees, charges, and non-traditional
sources.
Service Classification process was iterative with the PROS Consulting team and staff commencing the process in
a work session and then refining it through internal
discussions until there was consensus on the same.
The classifications are not meant to be set in stone. The
City should evaluate the classifications annually to ensure
congruence with the mission and values as well as the existing
financial situation and cost recovery goals.

4.3.1 SERVICE CLASSIFICATION DESCRIPTIONS
The service classification matrix below was used in the process described in the previous section. This
conceptual framework served as a guide to follow when classifying services and determining how each program
should be managed with regard to cost recovery.
Clarifying what constitutes a “Core Essential Service”, an “Important Service”, and a “Value Added Service”
will provide the Recreation Department and its stakeholders a better understanding of why and how to manage
each program area in terms of public value and private value. Additionally, the effectiveness of the criteria
linked to performance management expectations relies on the true cost of programs (direct and indirect cost)
being identified. Where a program falls within this matrix can help to determine the most appropriate cost
recovery rate or a range that should be pursued and measured.

4.3.2 CHULA VISTA RECREATION DEPARTMENT SERVICE CLASSIFICATION MATRIX
Using this process from Section 4.3.1, the Recreation Department staff in conjunction with the Consulting team
developed the classification of services based on community values and Department mission.
These classifications are the basis for future pricing policy decisions and desired cost recovery goals for
individual areas. Best practice agencies usually have elected leadership approve these classifications while
staff implements fees and charges and revenue strategies to meet the cost recovery goals required for the
approved classifications. It is recommended that these classifications be evaluated every one to two years to
ensure alignment with community values and the established cost recovery goals.

- COST OF SERVICE ANALYSIS CHAPTER FIVE
The cost-of-service analysis summarizes Chula Vista’s financial information to understand the cost per unit of
service or activity, depending on the particular function.
Financial and participation (service unit) data were provided by Chula Vista’s Recreation and Public Works
staff. Departmental financial data were also supplemented with City cost allocation plan data which identifies
each department’s share of the cost for City support services. Additionally, costs for utilities such as water
were also included for park amenities such as picnic shelters etc. The City support services costs were
subsequently attributed to each division and program.
The Direct cost recovery represents the revenues divided by direct program expenditures indicating the highest
level of cost recovery. With every additional level of cost (e.g. Department overhead costs, City overhead)
added, the overall cost recovery percentage continue to decrease as revenues remain constant. However, this
comprehensive structure is the most accurate reflection of the ‘true’ costs of providing the service and the
proportion of costs recovered.
COST OF SERVICE ANALYSIS PROCESS 5.1
The illustration below depicts the cost of service analysis and allocation process that was followed in this
project.
GOAL OF THE COST OF SERVICE ANALYSIS MODEL 5.2
It is understood that this model was the first step in identifying the most accurate cost accounting structure
and thus, knowing the true cost of offering a program or a service. It is quite common to see agencies that
may not have every single level of costs available and, thus, the model helps make valid assumptions to fill the
gaps and help staff ensure they can capture those costs moving forward.
In order to be successful, Chula Vista must continue to update and refine the model as they move forward.
This includes determining accurate units of participation, updating costs at all levels (direct, indirect an d
overhead) and tying those to cost recovery goals based on the service classifications agreed to by the City
Council.

SUMMARY OF INITIAL COST OF SERVICE 5.3
Given below is a sample of summary costs extracted from the Cost of Service model. The entire model is a
dynamic excel based model available to the staff for future updates and trend analysis.
As seen from the service classification section in Chapter 4, all Adult Softball is established as value-added
programs which is expected to have a cost recovery goal of 71% or higher. In addition, per the benchmark
analysis in Chapter 3, Chula Vista’s fees are also lower in comparison to most, if not all, the other
benchmarked agencies.
Thus, a combination of existing cost recovery, proposed service classification (and its associated cost recovery
goal) and benchmarked fee and charge data are the factors used in determining future fees and charges
recommended in Chapter 7.

- PRICING POLICY CHAPTER SIX
PRICING PHILOSOPHY AND POLICY 6.1
The proposed pricing policy includes the following:
1. A proposed philosophy that focuses on exclusivity of use and the level of benefit (individual versus
community benefit) received.
2. A structure that sets fees and charges to recover true cost of service but with resident / nonprofit
discounts
3. A consistent implementation of fees and charges based on prime (peak) time and non-prime (non peak)
times
4. Standardized policies and procedures including cancellation windows, reservation policies etc.
To gain and provide consistency among the City leadership, the Parks and Recreation Commission, user groups,
staff, and the community, a philosophical revenue and pricing foundation must be implemented. As changes in
pricing strategy and philosophy are implemented, it would be helpful for the staff to incorporate the following
five steps in their approach:
6.1.1 PRICE SERVICES TO TH E BENEFITS RECEIVED
Using the classification matrix, continue to price services based on the benefits received to offset operating
costs. This approach will provide a fair method to distribute resources to the largest number of users of the
system. In addition, the Recreation Department should prepare for future changes in government funding that
may result as agencies in California and nationwide respond to fiscal realities.
6.1.2 PRICE SERVICES BASED ON COST RECOVERY GOALS WITH PRICING FLEXIBILITY
Pricing based on meeting established cost recovery goals will provide a defensible approach to justify staff’s
decision making and ensure community and leadership buy-in for a process that is objective and process-driven
versus one that may seem more subjective and personality-driven.
6.1.3 PROVIDE USERS’ OPTIONS THROUGH DIFFERENTIAL PRICING
Options in pricing of services allow users to pick and choose what components of the service they want to buy
and allow staff to provide a tiered range of service offerings. This approach is helpful in the establishment of
multi-tiered pricing and allows users to pick and choose what level of quality or quantity they want and will
pay for accordingly.
Differential pricing options encourage users to move to a classification that best fits their schedule and price
point. These pricing options provide opportunities for staff to maximize utilization and revenue generation for
facility rentals and program offerings. The pricing options below include some that Chula Vista currently offers
and some others that could be evaluated by staff for future offerings.

City of Chula Vista

6.1.4 UTILIZE COST ACCOUNTING
The Recreation Department will continue developing an activity-based costing that includes direct, indirect
(and where possible, overhead) costs for the future. This will determine the cost per experience and level of
contribution before the actual pricing of the product or service. An activity based costing process will
facilitate efficient decision-making in determining the best method to price the program, activity, rental or
service in the most cost effective manner as well as identify programs that may not be able to meet their cost
recovery goals as outlined in the program classification matrix. This is an effective process but requires
appropriate resources to support data collection, analysis and reporting.
6.1.5 COMMUNICATE TRUE (FULL) COSTS TO ALL USERS
In all cases, especially when planning a price change, communicating the true (full) costs of a service or
program to all users helps increase their understanding of the value received. Often, users believe that the
price or fee they pay accounts for the entire cost of that offering. Marketing and communicating to convey the
benefits received and the level of contribution by the City will help aid the users’ understanding of the price
changes implemented.
Example: The price of your program or
service covers the individual benefit
associated with the service such as
materials and supplies, consumptive
goods, exclusive use of the facility, and
non-mission related staffing costs
associated with providing the service.
Recreation Department or this specific
program achieves a “_____” recovery
rate of the cost to provide services
primarily through user fees, while the
City’s General Fund covers the
remainder.
The fees and charges schedule
recommended in this report should be periodically reviewed and updated as needed based on the changes that
have occurred within the offerings provided. This will help the staff to evaluate which offerings should be
adjusted based on the pricing policy or cost recovery goals and also communicate the rationale behind the
changes to the users.

- IMPLEMENTATION CHAPTER SEVEN
These recommendations are guidelines for the city leadership and the Recreation department to follow. It is
important to keep a flexible approach as it applies to implementation of the recommendations. Consistent
measurement and tracking as well as on-going communication with the community will be critical to ensure
buy-in for the process. The recommendations are based on the following:
Community input from public meetings
1,200+ online and print survey responses in English and Spanish obtained from every recreation facility
Comparable information from benchmarked sources
Available direct, indirect and overhead cost data supplemented by staff assumptions
Parks and Recreation Commission input
Iterative staff feedback across multiple City departments
Consultant’s operational experiences and nationwide best practices
RECOMMENDATIONS 7.1
7.1.1 RECOMMENDATION #1- INCORPORATE PROGRAM BASED PRICING PHILOSOPHY BASED
ON EXCLUSIVITY AND LEVELS OF BENEFIT
It is recommended that City leadership adopt a pricing philosophy based on exclusivity and levels of individual
versus community benefit. This philosophy ensures core programs have highest level of General Fund subsidy
while value-added programs have the lowest level of General Fund subsidy with the following range of cost
recovery goals for the program areas that fall in each category.
Core Programs (0% - 30% full cost recovery)
Important Programs (31% - 70% full cost recovery)
Value-Added Programs (71% - 100% full cost recovery)
7.1.2 RECOMMENDATION #2- OFFER BASE PRICES WITH RESIDENT AND/OR NONPROFIT
DISCOUNTS
Create a base fee structure for all offerings and rentals with discounts for residents and/or nonprofits. See
below for the definitions of those terms.
Fee Terminology
Resident Resides within City of Chula Vista and other zip code specific groups
(e.g. Bonita)
Nonprofit "Nonprofit organization" means an organization organized or
incorporated for educational, civic, charitable, religious or cultural
purposes, having a bona fide membership, when proceeds, if any,
arising from its activities are used for the purposes of such
organization and may not be used for the individual benefit of the
membership of such organization.
Groups are required to submit form with State of California Nonprofit Tax ID number
Nonresidents/Commercial This includes anyone who does not fall into the resident or nonprofit
category.
2017-11-07 Agenda Packet Page 342
City of Chula Vista
42
A resident shall be considered any person residing within the City limits or any person owning property
in the City. (“Resident”). In order to qualify for Resident pricing, the Resident must supply proof of
residency or property ownership, by one of the following methods: Valid California Driver’s License, or
official identification (“I.D.”) card issued by the Department of Motor Vehicles for non -drivers,
displaying a City address on the license or I.D..
Current year utility bill, in the Resident’s name, for an address within the City.
Current year property tax statement, in the Resident’s name, for an address within the City.
7.1.3 RECOMMENDATION #3 – OFFER DIFFERENTIAL PRICING RATES (TIMING / RESIDENCY
RATES)
Establish differential and tiered pricing structures for all offerings. This is an established practice in the
recreation and travel industries (greens fees for twilight golf versus early morning tee-times, air fare pricing
etc.)
It is a great way to manage facility capacity utilization and provide incentives for people who have flexibility in
times to access facilities or rentals when they would otherwise be underutilized. There are a number of
differential pricing strategies utilized within the parks and recreation industry as outlined in Section 6.1.3 and
shown in the table below.
Types of Differential Pricing Strategies
Primetime Incentive Pricing
Non-primetime Length of Stay Pricing
Season and Off-season Rates Cost Recovery Goal Pricing
Multi-tiered Program Pricing Level of Exclusivity Pricing
Group Discounting and Packaging Age Segment Pricing
Volume Pricing Equipment Pricing
As further detailed in Chapter 7, it is recommended that staff continue to expand use of differential pricing
strategies in Chula Vista based on “timing” of offerings or activities e.g. time of day, weekday versus weekend
and regular weekends versus holiday weekends and “resident and / or nonprofit discounts”.

Resident and / or Nonprofit Fee Tiers
Based on the Resident/Nonprofit discount and Prime Time versus Non-Prime Time pricing concepts, the
consulting team and staff recommend the following approach of tiered fees and charges as well as resident
discounts.
Fee Tiers (Programs)
Base Fees: Any Nonresident/For-Profit + During Prime Time = Base Fee
Resident Discount Fees: Any Resident/Nonprofit Registration + During Prime Time or Any Nonresident/For-
Profit + During Non-Prime Time = 75% of Base Fee
Fee Tiers (Facility/Pool Use, Rentals)
Base Fees: Any Nonresident/For-Profit + During Prime Time = Base Fee (or 100% of Council adopted fee)
Resident Discount Fees: Any Resident/Nonprofit Use + During Prime Time or Any Nonresident/Commercial Use +
During Non-Prime Time = 50% of Base Fee
Super Discount Fees: Any Resident/Nonprofit Use + During Non-Prime Time = 25% of Base Fee
7.1.4 RECOMMENDATION #4 – ANNUALLY UPDATE COST OF SERVICE MODEL
Continue to track indirect and overhead costs (including custodial, park maintenance etc.) to identify the true
cost of offering recreation services. Annually update the cost of service model with data captured during the
year and communicate the cost of service to the staff and users on an on-going basis. Each year, the
Recreation Department will review the cost of service model with the Parks and Recreation Commission and, if
need be, adjust the policies or existing practices to continue serving the community’s needs in the best way
possible.
7.1.5 RECOMMENDATION #5 - INCORPORATE CITY’S A SSET MANAGEMENT PROGRAM INTO
RECREATION FEES
A large number of existing parks and facilities as well as amenities in those facilities, are aging and at the end
of their useful lifecycles. While a pending asset lifecycle replacement study will provide clarity on future
needs, ensuring a pricing structure that supports long term capital improvement and maintenance will be
critical as the population served by the city increases, and consequently, so does the demand for parks and
recreation offerings.

7.1.6 RECOMMENDATION #6 – SEEK NON-TRADITIONAL FUNDING SOURCES
More and more parks and recreation agencies are looking to partnerships and creative revenue generating
sources as a means to ensure long-term financial sustainability without burdening the existing user base.
Pursue new earned income options as a way to ensure greater financial sustainability.
The following are some creative sources of revenue that agencies nationwide have been successfully pursuing
in recent times. For a detailed list of all funding and revenue strategies based on staff discussions of
implementation risk and implementation feasibility, please see the Appendix.
Sponsorships
These are typically cash or in-kind fees paid to an agency by a brand or a business in exchange for
being able to promote their brand or business through the agency’s offerings (e.g. programs, events or
facilities). The City of Dallas recently had a partnership with the Naked Juice Brand for promoting
Naked Coconut Water at one of their park sites / walking and biking lanes and Chula Vista is exploring
the same as well.
(e.g. City of Roseville, CA: Sponsorships for the Utility Exploration Center)
https://www.roseville.ca.us/explore/sponsorships.asp
Naming Rights
These are a type of advertising where a brand or a business paid a fee to be able to name a venue,
park or facility or even an event for a period of years. This can vary from 3-20 years and is a very
common practice in the private sector but is also getting more prevalent in the public sector as well.

Crowd-funding
Refers to the collection of funds to sustain an
initiative from a large pool of backers—the "crowd"—
usually made online by means of a web platform. The
initiative could be a nonprofit campaign (e.g. to raise
funds for a school or social service organization), a
philanthropic campaign (e.g. for emergency funds for
an ill person or to produce an emerging artist), a
commercial campaign (e.g. to create and sell a new product) or a financing campaign for a public
agency (capital projects or program / operations related e.g. printing costs for all marketing materials)
Crowdfunding models involve a variety of participants. They include the people or organizations that
propose the ideas and/or projects to be funded, and the crowd of people who support the proposals.
Crowdfunding is then supported by an organization (the "platform") which brings together the project
initiator and the crowd. Given below are two examples of the most popular platforms that are
currently out there.
o www.Fundyourpark.org – Started by the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA)
specifically focused on parks and recreation agencies and crowdfunding their needs for
programs and amenities in their communities.

Eliminating Deposits
Based on discussions with staff and evaluating the cost benefits of the time spent (indirect expenses) on
administering the deposit collection and refunding process, it was found that the costs significantly outweighed
the revenue generated from the rare instance that the deposit was retained. In addition, it is also an
inefficient process resulting in a poor customer experience, and thus, it is recommended that deposit
collection in those specific instances be eliminated.
Since the renter’s details will also be on file prior to reservation, the Department would always be able to
recover costs associated with damages should that situation arise.

- CONCLUSION CHAPTER EIGHT
The key to a successful plan and philosophy centers on knowing the true costs to produce a service or product
and using a consistent process to manage, expand or eliminate offerings based on community values and
financial goals. The expectation is not that the plan is perfect from the start but that it is realistic and
dynamic, thus allowing the staff to continue using and updating it over time.
Pricing of services is a dynamic process and complex process. By recommending a consistent philosophy driven
by service classifications, cost recovery goals and differential pricing, the proposed plan supports Council goals
and establishes a sustainable process for cost recovery in the future.
The pursuit of earned income dollars should continue to be emphasized, and support and training should be
provided to staff to ensure the plan’s success in achieving the desired results. Additionally, updating the cost
of service model annually will allow staff to reflect revenue and expense updates accurately in the updated
Master Fee Schedule. If the recommendations are implemented in their entirety, based on current projections
and market conditions, it is realistic to estimate a 5% - 10% increase in as a combination of increased revenue
and streamlined expenses (as well as operational efficiencies). This could translate into an impact of $100,000
- $200,000 on the bottom line in the upcoming year, which will go a long way towards helping the Department
achieve increased financial sustainability.
The recommendations outlined recognize Chula
Vista’s growing and diverse population, the socio-
environment and the need to ensure long-term
financial sustainability.
Lastly, a successful plan implementation requires a
focused persistence but also warrants patience in
implementing, tracking and modifying strategies
based on their success or failure. It is important to
bear in mind that this plan is meant to be a
guideline that helps elevate the data-driven
decision making process of the Recreation
Department and thus lead to long-term financial
sustainability.
Supportive leadership and trained staff who all buy
into the collective vision and consistently communicate that vision to all users will be the key to ensuring that
the Recreation Department meets the community needs in a financially sustainable manner for years to come.

APPENDIX A - FUNDING AND REVENUE STRATEGIES
REVENUE AND FUNDING STRATEGIES
Park and Recreation systems across the United States today have learned to develop a clear understanding of
how to manage revenue options to support parks and recreation services in a municipality based on the limited
availability of tax dollars. Park and Recreation systems no longer rely on taxes as their sole revenue option but
have developed new sources of revenue options to help support capital and operational needs.
A growing number of agencies have developed policies on pricing of services, cost recovery rates and
partnership agreements for programs and facilities provided to the community. They also have developed
strong partnerships that are fair and equitable in the delivery of services based on whom receives the service,
for what purpose, for what benefit and for what costs. In addition, agencies have learned to use parks and
recreation facilities, amenities, programs and events to create economic development as it applies to keeping
property values high around parks and along trails through increased maintenance, adding sports facilities and
events to drive tournaments into the region that create hotel room nights and increase expenditures in
restaurants and retail areas. They have learned to recognize that people will drive into their community for
good recreation facilities such as sports complexes, pools, recreation centers and for special events if
presented correctly and if they are well managed.
Outlined below are several options for Chula Vista to consider. Some if not all of these sources should be
considered as an option to support the capital and operational needs of the department.

FUNDING SOURCES
The following financial options outline opportunities for the department to consider in supporting capital
improvements as well as operational costs associated with managing the system for the future.
EXTERNAL FUNDING
Corporate Sponsorships - This revenue-funding source allows corporations to invest in the
development or enhancement of new or existing facilities in park systems. Sponsorships are also highly
used for programs and events.
o Notes: Consider for Dog Parks but in an unobtrusive way
o Example: Charleston County Parks and Recreation (http://www.ccprc.com/index.aspx?NID=5)
as well as establishing frameworks for sustained sponsorship opportunities by providing
packaged choices of offerings - City of Santa Barbara
(http://www.santabarbaraca.gov/gov/depts/parksrec/recreation/sponsor_opportunities.asp).
Crowdfunding - Fairly new web-based source which aggregates funds from a group of people
who are willing to support a specific project, be it program related or facility related. Some sites that
successfully do that are www.kickstarter.org and www.razoo.com etc.
o Notes: Determine appropriate programs / capital updates
Partnerships - Partnerships are joint development funding sources or operational funding sources
between two separate agencies, such as two government entities, a nonprofit and a City department,
or a private business and a City agency. Two partners jointly develop revenue producing park and
recreation facilities and share risk, operational costs, responsibilities and asset management, based on
the strengths and weaknesses of each partner.
o Notes: Uncertainty for multi-year partnerships already budgeted for.
o Example: A relevant example includes the Muskingum Recreation Center being developed in
Zanesville, Ohio which is a partnership between t he Muskingum County Community Foundation
(MCCF), the Muskingum Family Y (MFY), Genesis HealthCare System and Ohio University
Zanesville (OUZ) (http://www.muskingumrecreationcenter.org/).
Foundations / Gifts - These dollars are raised from tax-exempt, nonprofit organizations established
with private donations in promotion of specific causes, activities, or issues. They offer a variety of
means to fund capital projects, including capital campaigns, gifts catalogs, fundraisers, endowments,
sales of items, etc.
o Notes: Not enough internal capacity to focus on Foundations / Gif ts
Private Donations - Private Donations may also be received in the form of funds, land, facilities,
recreation equipment, art or in-kind services. Donations from local and regional businesses as sponsors
for events or facilities should be pursued.
Friends Groups - These groups are formed to raise money typically for a single focus purpose that
could include a park facility or program that will better the community as a whole and their special
interest.
o Notes: Similar to the Library and Police, to focus on O&M and Capital opportunities
Irrevocable Remainder Trusts - These trusts are set up with individuals who typically have more than
a million dollars in wealth. They will leave a portion of their wealth to the city in a trust fund that
allows the fund to grow over a period of time and then is available for the city to use a portion of the
interest to support specific park and recreation facilities or programs that are designated by the
trustee.
2017-11-07 Agenda Packet Page 359
Cost Recovery, Resource Allocation And Revenue Enhancement Study
59
Volunteerism - The revenue source is an indirect revenue source in that persons donate time to assist
the department in providing a product or service on an hourly basis. This reduces the city’s cost in
providing the service plus it builds advocacy into the system.
o Notes: The Department has a large number of volunteers across multiple programs. They are
also tracked through Vologistics software system in Human Resources.
o Example: The City of San José Parks, Recreation and Neighborhood Services has leveraged a
very unique volunteer relationship by utilizing graduates from The Harvard Business School to
identify potential sponsorship value of its inventory and craft a compelling message for
potential sponsors – all on a pro-bono basis (http://www.hbsanc.org/cp_home.html?aid=1142).
There could certainly be potential opportunities of this sort with any of the educational
institutions including Mira Costa College, Palomar Community College, or University of
California San Diego.
Special Fundraisers - Many park and recreation agencies have special fundraisers on an annual basis to
help cover specific programs and capital projects.
o Notes: Community Fun Run, City Amateur Golf Tournament are fundraisers for the
Department and they are looking to start fundraisers / giveaways at Movies in the Parks - all
done through the Friends Group.
CAPITAL FEES
Capital Fees - Capital fees are added to the cost of revenue producing facilities such as golf courses,
pools, recreation centers, hospitality centers and sports complexes.
Dedication/Development Fees - These fees are assessed for the development of residential properties
with the proceeds to be used for parks and recreation purposes, such as open space acquisitions,
community park site development, neighborhood park development, regional park acquisition and
development, etc.
o Notes: The City is going through the PAD fees / Developers building turnkey parks - projects
Impact Fees - These fees are on top of the set user rate for accessing facilities such as golf courses,
recreation centers and pool facilities to support capital improvements that benefit the user of the
facility.
o Notes: User feedback from the Chula Vista community often emphasized ensuring that dollars
generated are spent on facility specific infrastructure issues
Mello Roos District - Fees for a specific purpose with an election approving district and fees by 2/3
majority.
o Notes: This is already being done in Chula Vista.
USER FEES
Recreation Service Fees - This is a dedicated user fee, which can be established by a local ordinance
or other government procedures for the purpose of constructing and maintaining recreation facilities.
The fee can apply to all organized activities, which require a reservation of some type or other
purposes, as defined by the local government. Examples of such activities include adult basketball,
volleyball, tennis, and softball leagues, youth baseball, soccer, football and softball leagues, and
special interest classes. The fee allows participants an opportunity to contribute toward the upkeep of
the facilities being used.
2017-11-07 Agenda Packet Page 360
City of Chula Vista
60
o Notes: Focus on across the board impact fee not just targeting organized groups.
Fees / Charges – The Department must position its fees and charges to be market-driven and based on
both public and private facilities. The potential outcome of revenue generation is consistent with
national trends pointing to generating an average 35% to 50% of operating expenditures for combined
parks and recreation agencies.
o Notes: The current fee study is aimed towards specifically addressing these.
Permits (Special Use Permits) - These special permits allow individuals to use specific park property
for financial gain. The city either receives a set amount of money or a percentage of the gross service
that is being provided.
o Notes: These are currently in place system-wide.
Reservations - This revenue source comes from the right to reserve specific public property for a set
amount of time. The reservation rates are usually set and apply to group picnic shelters, meeting
rooms for weddings, reunions and outings or other types of facilities for special activities.
o Notes: These need to be consistent and reflect the exclusivity it provides – which is a
recommendation made in Section 1.4
Equipment Rental - The revenue source is available on the rental of equipment such as tables, chairs,
tents, stages, bicycles, roller blades, boogie boards, etc. that are used for recreation purposes.
o Notes: Currently, the pools in Chula Vista do provide equipment rentals.

CDBG Funding - Funding received in accordance with the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
Programs national objectives as established by the U.S Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Funding may be applied to such programs as Infrastructure Improvements, Public Facility and Park
Improvements, Human Service Enhancements, Lead-Based Paint Education and Reduction, Housing
Education Assistance, and Economic Development and Anti-poverty strategies.
o Notes: This is prone to change and, thus, not a predictable source for the future. It is currently
availed for Norman Park Senior Center Operational hours and Therapeutic Recreation Programs.
Land Trust - Many systems have developed land trusts to help secure and fund the cost for acquiring
land that needs to be preserved and protected for greenway purposes. This could be a good source to
look to for acquisition of future lands.
TAX SUPPO RT
Property Tax- Ad valorem taxes on real property
Lighting and Landscape Districts - Special property owner approved assessment
o Notes: Evaluating creating a maintenance District; eastside park Stylus Park - developer
responsible for 50% of the maintenance / annually.
Hotel, Motel, and Restaurant Tax. - Tax based on gross receipts from charges and meal services,
which may be used to build and operate sports fields, regional parks, golf courses, tennis courts, and
other special park and recreation facilities.
o Notes: Could evaluate for future eastside development / hotels.
Special Improvement District / Benefit District - Taxing districts established to provide funds for
certain types of improvements that benefit a specific group of affected properties. Improvements may

Cost Recovery, Resource Allocation And Revenue Enhancement Study
61
include landscaping, the erection of fountains, and acquisition of art, and supplemental services for
improvement and promotion, including recreation and cultural enhancements.
Food and Beverage Tax - The tax is usually associated with convention and tourism bureaus. However,
since parks and recreation agencies manage many of the tourism attractions, they receive a portion of
this funding source for operational or capital expenses.
o Notes: Evaluate potential for Bayfront Convention Center to be built.
FRANCHISES AND LICENSES
Pouring Rights - Private soft drink companies that execute agreements with the City for exclusive
pouring rights within park facilities. A portion of the gross sales goes back to the City. The City of
Westfield, IN just signed a 10 year, $2 million pouring rights deal at their sports complex with Pepsi.
o Notes: Potential to consider for future sports complex development or in conjunction with the
former Chula Vista Olympic Training Center now named the Chula Vista Elite Athlete Training
Facility, a USOC Olympic and Paralympic Training Site
Private Concession Management - Contract with a private business to provide and operate desirable
recreational activities financed, constructed and operated by the private sector, with additional
compensation paid to the City.
o Notes: It is currently very minimal but the city has taken a step in that direction with Point
Loma Trust and with future development could be an increasingly viable opportunity for the
department.
Naming Rights – Many cities and counties have turned to selling the naming rights for new buildings or
renovation of existing buildings and parks for the development cost associated with the improvement.
o Notes: Evaluate potential for existing facilities / youth sports etc.
Example: Many cities and counties have turned to selling the naming rights for new
constructions of facilities or parks as a way to pay for the development and, occasionally, costs
associated with the project. A great example of this was in Lewisville, Texas where the city
signed a 10 year naming rights deal with a local Toyota dealership for their signatu re
community park which opened in 2009 and includes multiple sports fields, a dog park, skate
park, walking and jogging trails, three lakes for irrigation etc.
(http://www.cityoflewisville.com/index.aspx?page=538).
Private Developers - These developers lease space from City-owned land through a subordinate lease
that pays out a set dollar amount plus a percentage of gross dollars for recreation enhancements.
These could include a golf course, marina, restaurants, driving ranges, sports complexes, equestrian
facilities, recreation centers and ice arenas.
Advertising Sales - This revenue source is for the sale of tasteful and appropriate advertising on park
and recreation related items such as in the city’s program guide, on scoreboards, dasher boards and
other visible products or services that are consumable or permanent that exposes the product or
service to many people.

RESOLUTION NO. __________
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CHULA VISTA AMENDING CERTAIN SECTIONS OF
CHAPTER 7 (RECREATION) OF THE CITY’S MASTER FEE
SCHEDULE
WHEREAS, the City of Chula Vista hired a national consultant firm, PROS Consulting
Inc., to conduct a Cost Recovery, Resource Allocation and Revenue Enhancement Study; and
WHEREAS, a project team was established with City staff from the Recreation, Public
Works (Operations) and Finance Departments to work with PROS Consulting to review current
practices and existing policies, identify true costs of operations and organizational sustainability,
and develop a dynamic and realistic action plan to recover costs and be financial sustainable; and
WHEREAS the Cost Recovery, Resource Allocation and Revenue Enhancement Study
prepared by PROS Consulting Inc. resulted in an analysis of pricing and operational strategies
and working methodologies were developed, including a schedule of recommended fees; and
WHEREAS, it is recommended that the City adopt pricing strategies for programs based
on exclusivity of use and levels of individual versus community benefit; and
WHEREAS, this philosophy serves the public interest by ensuring that core programs
have the highest level of general fund subsidy while value-added programs have the lowest level
of general fund subsidy; and
WHEREAS, programs will be categorized into classifications based on cost recovery
goals as Core/Essential Programs (0% - 30% cost recovery), Important Programs (31% - 70%
cost recovery), and Value-Added Programs (71% - 100% cost recovery); and
WHEREAS, it is recommended that the City offer base prices with resident and/or non-
profit discounts; and
WHEREAS, it is recommended that the City offer differential and tiered pricing rates for
all offerings; and
WHEREAS, a tiered pricing structure that accounts for differential pricing strategies such
as resident/non-resident, prime time/non-prime time, quality of instructor, and length of stay
pricing ensures the pricing accurately reflects the value of the experience and accounts for
elasticity of demand, as noted in the considerations of the Citywide Cost Recovery Policy 159-
03; and
WHEREAS, it is recommended that the Recreation Department annually update the cost
of service model, continuing to track direct, indirect and overhead costs to identify the true cost
of offering a service; and
2017-11-07 Agenda Packet Page 363
WHEREAS, after identifying the true cost of providing a service, the data will be
analyzed against the classification of the program and the desired full cost recovery percentage to
derive the recommended base fee and recommended resident discounted fee; and
WHEREAS, it is recommended that the City seek non-traditional funding sources, such
as exploring sponsorship opportunities, naming rights, or identifying potential crowdfunding
projects; and
WHEREAS, as identified in the Citywide Cost Recovery Policy 159-03, the target cost
recovery goals for the Recreation Department will remain 30% - 70%; and
WHEREAS, the proposed fees do not exceed the estimated reasonable cost of providing
the associated services; and
WHEREAS, Article XIII C of the California Constitution requires a vote of the electorate
to increase any levy, charge, or exaction imposed by a local government, unless specifically
exempted; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the provisions of Article XIII, the proposed fees are exempt
from the vote requirement;
WHEREAS, the proposed amendments to the Master Fee Schedule Chapter 7 shall not
become effective until April 1, 2018, the beginning of the Spring Quarter of fiscal year 2017-18.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Chula
Vista does hereby amend certain sections of Chapter 7 (Recreation) of the City’s Master Fee
Schedule as reflected on Exhibits 1 and 2 to this Resolution.

File#:17-0477, Item#: 14.
A. QUARTERLY FINANCIAL REPORT FOR THE QUARTER ENDING SEPTEMBER 30, 2017
B. RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA MAKING VARIOUS
AMENDMENTS TO THE FISCAL YEAR 2017/18 BUDGET TO ADJUST FOR VARIANCES
AND APPROPRIATING FUNDS THEREFOR (4/5 VOTE REQUIRED)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Council accept the report and adopt the resolution.
SUMMARY
The Finance Department prepares quarterly financial reports for the General Fund that reflect budget
to actual comparisons, projected revenues and expenditures, and highlight major variances that may
require additional action or changes. The quarterly financial reports are in compliance with Section
504 (f) of the City Charter, which requires that quarterly financial reports be filed by the Director of
Finance through the City Manager. It also provides the opportunity to review and update Measure P
funding status and the long-term financial plan.
In preparing the quarterly financial projections, staff has identified various budget changes that are
needed to reflect actual revenues and expenditures or address changes in budgetary needs. For
government entities, a budget creates a legal framework for spending during the fiscal year. After the
budget is approved there are circumstances, which arise that could require adjustments to the
approved budget. Council Policy 220-02 “Financial Reporting and Transfer Authority” was
established in January of 1996 and allows for budget transfers to be completed. This report
discusses budget adjustments that staff recommends in the General Fund as well as various other
funds.
Two new sections have been added to the attached Quarterly Financial Report. The report now
includes an update on Measure P actual revenues and expenditure to date and an updated Long
Term Financial Plan, reflecting all Council approved items since the adoption of the Fiscal Year
2017/18 budget in June.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Environmental Notice
The Development Services Director has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that filing of the quarterly financial
status report is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines
because it will not result in a physical change to the environment; therefore, pursuant to Section
15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines the actions proposed are not subject to CEQA.

Environmental Determination
The activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the California Environmental Quality
Act State Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3) no environmental
review is required.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
Not applicable.
DISCUSSION
The Finance Department prepares quarterly financial reports for the General Fund that reflect budget
to actual comparisons, projected revenues and expenditures, and highlight major variances that may
require additional action or changes. The quarterly financial reports are in compliance with Section
504 (f) of the City Charter, which requires that quarterly financial reports be filed by the Director of
Finance through the City Manager.
General Fund Overview
Attachment A - Quarterly Financial Report provides the financial outlook for the General Fund for the
current fiscal year and includes summary information for revenues and expenditures. There is also a
brief discussion of Measure P and the long-term financial plan.
The following chart summarizes the projections for the first quarter of fiscal year 2017/18 for the
City’s General Fund. The amended budget column includes all Council approved changes to the
fiscal year 2017/18 adopted budget that have taken place through the end of the first quarter ending
September 30, 2017. The proposed column lists the amended budget along with proposed
adjustments for revenues and expenditures as of June 30, 2018. The third column includes
projected revenues which are being watched for possible adjustment at a later date. The following
table reflects the unaudited General Fund reserves as of July 1, 2017 (beginning fund balance) as
well as the projected General Fund reserves for June 30, 2018 (projected ending fund balance).
Note 1 -The Original Budget and projections reflected in this table do not include prior year appropriations for capital improvement projects and other
encumbrances totaling $5.7 million that were carried forward into the fiscal year 2017/18 budget. These expenditure impacts are already reflected in the
estimated fund balance as of July 1, 2017 and are therefore not included in the above table.
Measure P Fund Overview
The voter approved, temporary ½ cent sales tax measure is allowing the City to make progress
toward replacing and repairing failing City assets. Out of the $169,588,935 proposed allocations, the

toward replacing and repairing failing City assets. Out of the $169,588,935 proposed allocations, the
City has expended approximately $3,584,790 through September 30, 2017. Expenditures include
bond sale costs of $46,843, Fire Services expenses of $642,269, Police Services expenditures of
$2,345,622 and Infrastructure improvements of $550,055. Several projects are in the
procurement/bidding process and will be moving forward in the next quarter.
Staff is recommending budget adjustments as summarized in the following tables.
General Fund Adjustments
City of Chula Vista Printed on 11/3/2017Page 3 of 8
powered by Legistar™2017-11-07 Agenda Packet Page 380
File#:17-0477, Item#: 14.
At the conclusion of the first quarter of the 2018 fiscal year, most of the proposed adjustments are
minor inter- and intra-Department transfers or are appropriations associated with offsetting revenue.
The most noteworthy adjustment to the General Fund budget is the shift of the $200,000 Small
Business Loan Program, which is currently budgeted in the Economic Development Department.
This program will now be shown in a separate and new Enterprise Fund. The current year funding
for the program will be transferred out of the Non-Departmental Division to the new fund and the
Economic Development budget will be reduced by the same amount. The new fund is displayed
below among the list of funds in the Other Funds chart.
There is no net cost associated with the proposed first quarter adjustments because all of the
proposed expenditure appropriations are offset with budgetary savings elsewhere within the General
Fund or by specific offsetting revenues.
At this stage of the year, the Departments are on track with their personnel budgets. The Police and
Fire Departments, where overtime costs can easily result in unplanned budget overages, are on
target. Given the ongoing fires in the State, it is anticipated that the second quarter will see
significant costs associated with providing mutual aid support. Because of the Governor’s declared
State of Emergency the costs associated with the mutual aid response will largely be covered by
State Office of Emergency Services reimbursement.
Other Funds Adjustments

powered by Legistar™2017-11-07 Agenda Packet Page 381
File#:17-0477, Item#: 14.
Outside of the General Fund, there are changes in sixteen cost centers within fourteen different
funds. The proposed adjustments, displayed in the chart above, have a net cost of $2,719,895, which
are entirely funded with fund balances or current year available revenue. A brief discussion follows on
the major adjustments are below.
An appropriation of $217,992 from from the Fire Equipment Lease Fund balance will allow the Fire
Department to purchase three auto pulses, monitors and batteries. The revenue supporting this
appropriation was received in Fiscal Year 2016-17.
The Supplemental Local Law Enforcement Fund appropriation in the amount of $200,000 will provide
funding for the Taser International body-worn cameras and other maintenance/software contracts.
A reduction in revenue of $624,632 for CFD 18M VIL3OR is a correction to the district assessments
amount anticipated for the current fiscal year.
As previously discussed in the General Fund section above, the budget for the Small Business Loan
Program, previously included in the Economic Development Department, is being moved from the
General Fund to a new enterprise fund to be called the Small Business Loan Program Fund (404).
The new fund’s budget includes a Transfer In from the General Fund and a corresponding

powered by Legistar™2017-11-07 Agenda Packet Page 382
File#:17-0477, Item#: 14.
expenditure budget of $200,000.
There are increases to the Development Services Fund of $250,000 in the Supplies & Services
category for outside consultant support to help address current volumes and improve turnaround
times for priority projects. The additional amount of $79,957 in the Personnel Services category is for
the transfer of a Senior Landscape Inspector from the Public Works Department. The expenditures
are expected to have revenue offsets resulting in a no net impact to the fund.
The reduction in the Fire Apparatus Lease Fund is due to the three Fire Engine leases that will be
paid directly out of the Measure P Fund (see discussion in next section).
The appropriation of $351,600 to the Public Facilities DI Fund is for the purchase of five Police
vehicles for the five new Peace Officer positions approved by Council.
In September 2017, the City called bonds for the Eastlake Greens II AD-94-1 Improvement Fund
because of the availability of surplus funds. The appropriation from fund balance to the Other
Expenses category will allow the payoff of the remaining principal balance in AD 94-1.
Measure P Fund Adjustments
Adjustments to the Measure P fund include adding the $27,124,008 net proceeds from the 2017
lease-revenue bonds as revenue and appropriating $8,445,000 to Supplies & Services and Other
Expenses categories for miscellaneous bond related expenses and for the principal and interest
payments. The other adjustments to the fund reflect the revision of paying for the approved new Fire
apparatus directly from the Measure P fund, eliminating the $244,000 Transfer Out to the Fire
Apparatus Fund. Category transfers to the Other Expenses category from the Capital and Supplies &
Services categories are intended to record the vehicle and equipment acquisition as principal and
interest payments ($137,949 from the Capital category for the new Tiller and $170,238 from the
Supplies & Services category for the Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) equipment).
Technical Corrections
City of Chula Vista Printed on 11/3/2017Page 6 of 8
powered by Legistar™2017-11-07 Agenda Packet Page 383
File#:17-0477, Item#: 14.
The above items are proposed technical corrections to reverse a prior action on July 11, 2017,
Resolution 2017-126. The above funds are debt service funds, where the accounting is different than
an expenditure budget. In order for the authorizing documentation to be correct, the original
requested budget adjustments will be reversed. This action does not change the authorized use of
the funds, so there is no net fiscal impact to report.
DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council of the City of Chula Vista members and
has found no property holdings within 500 feet of the boundaries of the property which is the subject
of this action. Consequently, this item does not present a disqualifying real property-related financial
conflict of interest under California Code of Regulations Title 2, section 18702.2(a)(11), for purposes
of the Political Reform Act (Cal. Gov’t Code §87100,et seq.).
Staff is not independently aware, and has not been informed by any City of Chula Vista City Council
member, of any other fact that may constitute a basis for a decision maker conflict of interest in this
matter.
LINK TO STRATEGIC GOALS
The City’s Strategic Plan has five major goals: Operational Excellence, Economic Vitality, Healthy
Community, Strong and Secure Neighborhoods and a Connected Community. This action supports
the Operational Excellence goal by communicating the City’s projected financial position for the
current fiscal year in an open and transparent manner. This transparency supports City Initiative
1.3.1. - “Foster public trust through an open and ethical government.”
CURRENT YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact to the General Fund associated with this action. Across the other funds,
there is a net positive impact of $18.7 million, driven primarily by the addition of the Measure P bond
proceeds and the new debt service associated with the bonds. Funds for which there are new
appropriations being sought have either offsetting revenue or available and assigned fund balance. It
is currently projected that fiscal year 2017/18 will remain balanced.

ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
There is no ongoing fiscal impact related to this action for the General Fund. The 2017 Measure P
Revenue Bonds will have ongoing debt service costs of $8.4 million per year, which is approximately
half of the annual projected revenue. This cost impact was known at the time the bonds were sold,
but because the issuance occurred after the Fiscal Year 2017-18 budget was finalized, its proceeds
and debt service amounts were not included. The impacts related to actions approved by Council
since the adoption of the budget in June 2017 are reflected in the Long Term Financial Plan section
of the attached quarterly report.
Note: Includes funding for five new police officer positions and twelve new firefighter positions which
are partially offset by SAFER grant funds.

Quarterly Financial Report
First Quarter FY 2018 Ending September 30, 2017
Prepared – October 2017
OVERVIEW
This financial report summarizes the City’s General Fund
financial position for fiscal year 2018 through September
30, 2017 and projecting out to June 30, 2018. The purpose
of this report is to provide the City Council, Management
and the citizens of Chula Vista an update on the City’s
fiscal status based on the most recent financial
information.
This report also includes a brief status update of the
Measure P revenue as well as an update on the City’s
multi-year or long-term financial plan (LTFP). The LTFP is a
forecast of ten future years based upon information
available at the time and is updated annually to reflect the
most current information available. This quarterly
financial report contains an update of the years up until
2027 (attached) and a discussion about the next five years.
The most recent LTFP was first presented with the City’s
Fiscal Year 2017-18 budget.
NATIONAL, STATE, AND REGION
ECONOMIC UPDATE
The National Forecast1 - In the September 20 17 UCLA
Anderson Forecast, Senior Economist David Shulman notes
that the national economy continues to maintain its
steady growth rate of 2.5% - 3%. Shulman expects this
rate of growth to continue with real GDP increasing by a
projected 2.1%, 2.8% and 2.1% in 2017, 2018, and 2019
respectively. This positive trend will be driven, in part, by
the rebuilding in areas impacted by hurricanes Harvey,
Irma and Maria. The rebuilding in Florida and Texas is
projected to reach $200 billion. However, Shulman also
notes that this growth in GDP will not replace the vast
amounts of wealth that were destroyed by the hurricanes.
Increases in infrastructure spending and defense spending
together with a projected a $1.8 trillion tax cut is expected
to fuel growth over the coming few years. Unemployment
is expected to remain at or below the current 4.4% level
with a possible uptick at the end of 2019 when the
economy is expected to slow somewhat. Contrary to
typical economic theory, the low unemployment has not
resulted in high inflation, and this market behavior change
continues to confound economists. The current inflation
rate of 2+% will keep the Federal Reserve on track with its
gradual increases to long-term interest rates.
1 Source: UCLA Anderson Forecast, September 2017
The California Forecast2 - UCLA Anderson Senior
Economist Jerry Nickelsburg focused his September
analysis on the relationship between labor and housing in
California. With the State at near full employment, future
job growth, and therefore GDP growth, will be tied to
immigration and domestic migration. With the current
national policies decidedly reducing immigration,
California will need more net domestic migration to spur
growth. The high cost of housing, however, is a deterrent
for in-migration to California. Mr. Nickelsburg outlines the
many reasons why making housing affordable in California
is difficult. Highlighting a recent study by the California
LAO on housing demand, he suggests that in order to
obtain a modest 10% decrease in housing prices, there
needs to be 20% more inventory. “The current legislative
initiatives will moderate the increase in the price of
housing, but will not do much to alleviate the high cost of
living in California in the near term.” he says. His overall
forecast for the State’s growth is muted, with employment
growth at a modest 1.1%, 0.9% and 0.9% over the next
three years and growth in real personal income growing at
2.0%, 3.1%, and 3.1% for the same period.
The San Diego Forecast3 - The USD Burnham-Moores
Center for Real Estate’s (BMC) Index of Leading Economic
Indicators for San Diego County, shown on the next page,
rose 0.1% in August 2017 to 145.2. Increases in the index’
indicators were led by the national economic outlook, an
increase of 0.78%. There were small gains in authorized
building permits (0.51%) and consumer confidence
(0.16%). For the third month in a row, both labor
indicators, initial claims for unemployment insurance and
help-wanted advertising saw declines, netting to a slight
increase in the seasonally adjusted unemployment rate of
4.5%. The small increases in August’s economic indicators
have kept BMC’s outlook positive but with slower growth
expected for the rest of the year and through the first half
of 2018.

GENERAL FUND PROJECTIONS FOR FISCAL
YEAR 2017-18 AFTER FIRST QUARTER
General Fund Reserves – Chula Vista’s General Fund
Reserve policy was established to ensure that the City’s
finances are managed in a manner which will:
1. Continue to provide for the delivery of quality
services;
2. Maintain and enhance service delivery as the
community grows in accordance with the General Plan
3. Minimize or eliminate the need to raise taxes and fees
because of temporary revenue shortfalls; and
4. Establish the reserves necessary to meet known and
unknown future obligations and ability to respond to
unexpected opportunities.
The following table displays the unaudited General Fund
reserves as of June 30, 2017 as well as the projected
General Fund reserves for June 30, 2018. The table
compares the proposed amended budget, with the
projected actual. The projected actual assumes slightly
lower revenues than the budget, and discussed below.
Note:
1) The Original Budget and projections reflected in this table do not
include prior year appropriations for capital improvement projects and
other encumbrances totaling $5.7 million that were carried forward into
the fiscal year 2017/18 budget. These expenditure impacts are already
reflected in the estimated fund balance as of July 1, 2017 and are
therefore not included in the above table.
The City’s financial outlook is primarily unchanged after
the first quarter. Expenditures are projected to be within
the amended budget level while revenues are expected to
be slightly lower than the amended budget. The City’s
sales tax projections are trending lower than the budget
but the decline for this year will likely be offset by the in-
lieu motor vehicle fee revenue, which was budgeted low.
Revenue from these two sources is projected to net
$6,100 lower than the proposed amended budget. This
small decline will be monitored carefully, but is expected
to be absorbed elsewhere within the budget before the
year is over.
The following table shows the budget and projected
revenues. The budgeted amount includes all previously
approved budget amendments as well as those with
proposed changes included with this report.
NOTE:
1) Property Tax in Lieu of Vehicle License Fees was previously
accounted for as Motor Vehicle License fees (VLF) in the State
Revenue category. VLF was replaced by a backfill from property
taxes following the permanent reduction of the VLF rate from 2% to
0.65% in 2004. The in lieu amount is adjusted annually the growth in
the City’s growth in assessed valuation and will be shown under the
Property Tax category in the future.

Quarterly Financial Report
First Quarter FY 2018 Ending September 30, 2017
Prepared – October 2017
Departmental expenditures are tracking within budgeted
levels overall. The General Fund’s amended budget
includes (1) the original budgeted expenditures of
$166,587,259, (2) the $18,685,973 off-cycle appropriation
of the Measure P bond proceeds, (3) prior year carry over
encumbrances of $5,751,121, and (4) the proposed
$32,849 of expenditures submitted with this report, for a
total amended budget of $191.1 million.
The following table shows that expenditures as of
9/30/2017 are 21% of the overall budget, but with
variances across all the departments. Several departments
have expenditures greater than 25% of their budget after
the first quarter. Again this year, the City decided to incur
the full annual cost of CalPERS unfunded liability
contribution in the first quarter in order to achieve a lower
annual cost. By paying up front, the City’s yearly
contribution was reduced by $559,860, but the entire
expenditure of $15.2 million was posted at the beginning
of the year rather than distributed monthly.
NOTE:
1) Prior year appropriations for capital projects and other encumbrances
totaling $5.7 were carried forward into fiscal year 2017-18. The total
amount is listed at the bottom of the expenditure table while the
expenditures against these encumbrances are contained within the
expended column in the respective departments.
As in the prior year, the City is currently participating in
State and Federal emergency response efforts, fighting
wild fires and helping relief efforts in Northern California,
Texas and Florida. The financial impacts of these efforts
are expected to be offset by reimbursement revenue that
will be reflected in a future quarterly report.
LONG-TERM FINANCIAL PLAN UPDATE –
FISCAL YEARS 2018 TO 2023
A primary focus of this financial report is to review and
reconsider the Long-Term Financial Plan (LTFP), looking
beyond the current fiscal year at fiscal issues facing the
City on the horizon. The LTFP was presented with the
fiscal year 2017-18 budget in March, May, and finally in
June 2017. The changes to the LTFP from that which was
presented in June 2017 include (1) modified sales tax and
in-lieu motor vehicle license fee projections; (2) revised
personnel costs to reflect recent labor contracts; (3)
updated CalPERS rates for fiscal year 2019; (4) the addition
of twelve new firefighter/paramedic positions authorized
in August, 2017; (5) new technology costs in the Police
Department, and (6) the change in the estimated opening
of the Millennia Fire station from 2019 to 2020. Like the
version shown previously in June 2017, this updated
version includes cost projections for new peace officers,
the new Bayfront Fire Station and new park maintenance
expenses for the Millennia Parks.
The purpose of this review is to highlight the structural
imbalances that the City will face beginning in the next
fiscal year, and to focus problem solving efforts toward a
menu of viable options. These projections will continue to
evolve as new information becomes available. These
projections assume continued economic growth. Even a
small or short-lived economic downturn will amplify the
projected deficit.
The table on the following page displays the updated
financial projections for fiscal years 2019 through 2023. A
more detailed table that includes all ten years is provided
as an attachment to this report. Beginning next fiscal year,
the projection is that revenue will not be sufficient to
cover the City’s operating expenditures resulting in a $5.9
million deficit. Left unchecked, the deficit is projected to
grow to $27.5 million in five years. This deficit is smaller
than was first projected in May because of the impact of
the aforementioned modifications. The net revenues

Quarterly Financial Report
First Quarter FY 2018 Ending September 30, 2017
Prepared – October 2017
have improved to $171.9 million compared to an original
estimate of $171.7 million because of the revised
projections for the In Lieu Vehicle License Fee offset to the
expected decline in Sales Tax revenue. On the expenditure
side, primarily because of the estimated opening of the
Millennia Fire Station in 2020 rather than 2019, the
projected expenditures have decreased from $178.9
million to $177.8 million. New expenditures that were not
in the original plan add just over $1 million in cost in fiscal
year 2018-19. These include proposed twelve new
firefighter positions (Safer Grant supported), and new
police technology costs.
The most significant drivers for the long-term growth in
the City’s expenditures are the increase in public safety
costs and the increasing costs associated with public
employee salaries and benefits. Even with the additional
resources provided by Measure P, which are significant,
the current plan is for the General Fund to add $2 million
in new service levels in 2019, growing to $5 million, $7
million, $11 million, and $12 million in the subsequent four
years. In addition to these new expenditures, the City’s
remaining operating expenditures will also experience
growth.
Fiscal Year 2019 Budget Balancing
The City’s options for addressing the anticipated shortfall
will require new revenues, cost cutting, and cost
deferments. Preliminarily, staff has identified possible
savings that will accrue to the City once the Measure P
projects are implemented. Future savings in utility costs
have been estimated to have a mitigating impact of
$800,000 in FY 2019 and as much as $1.7 million by 2023.
In addition, the savings to the City if it were to make
permanent the elimination of sixteen currently vacant
positions has been estimated to relieve the budget by $1.0
million in 2019 and in future years as well.
These sixteen positions are non-sworn and revenue
neutral. If these mitigation efforts are realized, the 2019
deficit could be reduced to $4.0 million. In addition, all
City Departments are presently evaluating opportunities
tor reorganization or consolidation in order to affect
further savings and shrink the deficit gap. These efforts
alone will not be sufficient, however to eliminate the
projected deficit which, in the following year, is projected
to increase to $9 million, shown below.
Revenue
The City receives revenue from multiple sources, the
primary sources being local taxes on sales and on real
property. Changes in projections to these two sources
have the greatest impact on the City’s financial
projections.
Sales Tax –Revenue from the Bradley-Burns sales tax, (1%
of retail sales), continues to be the City’s largest revenue
source as projected for fiscal year 2017-18, although
property tax revenue would have earned this position had
the Measure P Sales tax been excluded. Projected Sales
Taxes make up more than 25% of projected General Fund
revenues for fiscal year 2017-18. Of the $49.1 million
projected, the Measure P sales taxes make up $16.3
million.
Detailed collection data is provided by the State Board of
Equalization and analyzed by the City’s sales tax advisor
HdL Companies. The most current data available is for the
second calendar quarter, April through June of 2017.
Compared to the same prior-year quarter, sales tax
receipts grew by a modest 1%, although there were
variations within the seven major industry categories. The
Autos and Transportation category showed a 3% decline in
sales while the Business and Industry category increased
by 10%. The largest producing industry category, in terms
of gross sales, is General Consumer Goods which had zero

growth in comparison to the same 2016 quarter. Other
sectors experienced increases when compared to the
same quarter in 2016; these included Fuel & Service
Stations (6%), Restaurants and Hotels (5%), Building and
Construction (4%) and Food & Drugs (3%).
The projections include estimates for new revenue derived
from new development. New Development sales tax has
been reduced to reflect likely delays. Whether these new
revenues materialize and whether they arrive is subject to
further modification.
City staff will continue to monitor sales taxes for the
impact of internet sales. Taxes collected by on-line
retailers go into a countywide pool and are distributed to
the Cities based upon share of countywide sales rather
than by population. Chula Vista represents 8.5% of the
population of the County, but only 6% of the County sales.
This method tends to disfavor Chula Vista and may result
in further revisions to sales tax projections. Based upon
HdL data analysis, the City is projected to see lower sales
tax revenue than what was budgeted for fiscal year 2018.
Measure P Sales Tax –The second calendar quarter of
2017 was the first quarter in which the City’s one-half cent
sales tax was collected. Actual receipts of $3.94 million
exceeded the $3.2 million projection by $700,000. The
original projection assumed that the 0.5% Measure P
transaction and use tax would net 50% of the base sales
tax. This surplus revenue will provide a cushion, going
forward, to cover future revenue shortfalls. Given that
the trend toward online versus “brick and mortar” retail
sales has had a negative impact on the City’s base
revenue, this trend will spill over to the Measure P
transaction tax as well.
A key component of the Measure P revenue will be from
car sales to Chula Vista residents from outside the City.
The City will receive the transactions tax on these sales.
Staff will continue working with HDL over the coming
quarter to refine these projections and will report back in
the next quarterly financial report.
The following chart represents actual Sales Tax collections
for fiscal years 2013/14 through 2016/17. The remaining
chart columns display the projections from the City’s Long-
Term Financial Plan estimates, including projections for
revenue generated by new development. The projections
for the next five years have a conservative modest growth
estimate of 2.5% annually, compared to an historical
growth average of 3.2% for the prior five years.
SALES TAX – Historical and Projected
*Note: Beginning with FY2017 Sales Tax revenue is being recorded
using a 90- rather than 60-day accrual basis. As a result, the Base 1%
revenue for Fiscal Year 2016-17 is inflated by the September 2016
clean up payment ($744,000) that was accrued to fiscal year 2017
under the old 60-day accrual schedule.
Property Taxes - The City of Chula Vista receives a portion
of the property tax revenue based upon a 1.0% levy on the
assessed value of all real property. Property tax is the
City’s second largest revenue source, representing 18.2%
of projected General Fund revenues in fiscal year 2017-18.
The assessed value of all property in the City of Chula Vista
grew by 6.01% in fiscal year 2017-18 which mirrors the
average growth throughout the County of San Diego. In
its June 2017 annual report on property values, the County
Assessor’s office attributed the increase, the fifth year of
countywide increases, to the consistent steady growth in
the real estate market. With median home prices having
grown annually by 5-6% for several years, the Assessor
projected that this growth trend would likely continue in
the near future. The City of Chula Vista’s long-term
financial plan, however, has been developed using growth
rate of 3% for the property tax on current secured (land
and improvements) and 1% on current unsecured
(business equipment, boats & aircraft) property and other.

These growth rates are more conservative but likely more
reliable than relying upon a 5% and 6% growth factor.
Worth pointing out is that the In Lieu Motor Vehicle
License Fee is actually property taxes that are
redistributed to municipalities as a result of 2004
legislation. The growth in this revenue is based upon the
growth in the City’s assessed valuation. The growth rate
that the City of Chula Vista experienced in fiscal year 2017-
18 was 6.1%, compared to the budgeted estimate of a3%
growth. This growth will offset the expected decline in
sales tax revenue in fiscal year 2017-18 and provides a
larger base from which future increases are projected.
The chart below shows actual Property Tax revenues since
fiscal year 2013/14 and the projections for fiscal years
2017-18 through 2022-23, including projected growth
associated with new development.
PROPERTY TAXES - Historical and Projected
SUMMARY AND NEXT STEPS
At the conclusion of the first fiscal year quarter of 2017-18,
the current year budget is on track for revenues and
expenditures, with minor modifications. Staff is watching
expenditures and revenue projections, particularly Sales
Tax projections, to assess whether further modifications
will be necessary later in the year.
The longer term projections for the City’s General Fund
continue to pose serious challenges because revenues will
not be sufficient to cover current costs or new costs that
are on the horizon. Because the City has limited abilities
to impact near-term revenue, its staff and policy makers
will need to focus their efforts on the cost side by finding
savings, modifying service levels, cost cuts or cost delays
for the upcoming year, even as efforts continue to address
economic development opportunities throughout the City.
The second quarter report will contain a more thorough
analysis of and updates on the status of new development
and major revenues derived from new development. Staff
will also bring back a refreshed list of potential solutions to
resolve the structural operating deficit in preparation for
the fiscal year 2018-2019 budget process. This is
anticipated to occur in mid-February 2018. Staff will
provide baseline budget numbers for fiscal year 2018-2019
at the same City Council meeting.
