City Attorney Impartial Analysis—Measure A
CHULA VISTA CITY CLERK
Summary 2018 MAR I b P 4: 21
If approved by voters,Measure A would impose a one-half cent($.005)"transactions and use tax"
(commonly known as a"sales tax") on retail sales within the City of Chula Vista. The tax would
remain in place unless and until the voters repealed it. The City's Finance Director estimates the
tax would generate approximately$17 million per year. The City Council has expressed its intent
to spend these monies exclusively on critical needs of the City's police and fire departments.
However, because the tax is a"general purpose"tax,the City Council would reserve the right to
spend the tax revenues for any lawful City purpose. Measure A also includes provisions for
separate accounting and citizen oversight.
Authority and Method of Assessment
Measure A's sales tax would be levied under state law (Revenue and Taxation Code Section
7285.9). As such, it would be assessed and collected as a percentage of gross receipts from retail
sales (and other taxable uses) occurring within the City in the same manner as the existing state
sales tax. The current sales tax rate in Chula Vista is 8.25%. This includes an existing local sales
tax of 0.5%that was approved by Chula Vista voters in 2016. This local tax is scheduled to expire
in 2026. If the proposed Measure A sales tax were approved, the sales tax rate in the City would
increase to 8.75%. The tax revenues generated from the additional 0.5%would go to the City(less
a state administrative fee), and could only be spent for City purposes. If approved,the tax would
commence on October 1,2018.
Provisions for Intended Expenditures
Concurrent with its approval of Measure A for placement on the ballot,the City Council adopted
an"Intended Public Safety Expenditure Plan"("Plan") for Measure A revenues. By doing so,the
City Council expressed its intent to spend Measure A sales tax revenues exclusively on the critical
staffing needs of the City's police and fire departments, including necessary equipment. Measure
A requires City staff to present for City Council action, requests for budgeting of police and fire
personnel, and related equipment, consistent with the Plan. Each year thereafter, City staff would
be required to prepare a "Measure A Spending Plan" that is also consistent with the Plan, and
present it for City Council consideration, in its discretion, as part of the City's annual budget. A
copy of the Plan is available on the City website at www.chulavistaca.gov/publicsafety.
Separate Accounting and Citizens' Oversight
Measure A includes requirements for separate accounting, budgeting and auditing of tax
collections and expenditures. It also requires creation of a citizens' oversight committee("COC").
The COC would be responsible for reviewing and reporting on Measure A annual accounting and
spending plans, and compliance with those plans.
General Purpose Tax
The City Council is submitting Measure A to the voters as a"general purpose tax." This means
that a majority of the voters must approve the Measure for it to go into effect. Although this City
Council has expressed its intent to spend Measure A revenues exclusively on public safety needs,
such as police and fire personnel and equipment, the City Council will retain discretion to spend
the revenues generated for any lawful municipal purpose.

Introduction
The City of Chula Vista is located at the center of one of the richest cultural, economic and environmentally
diverse zones in the United States. It is the second-largest city in San Diego County with a population of
270,000. Residents enjoy a multitude of quality of life amenities, including award-winning public schools,
established neighborhoods, parks and trails, shopping and dining opportunities, and popular attractions.
Chula Vista is one of the top ten safest cities of its size in the country.
Public Safety is a top priority in the City of Chula Vista with 67 percent of general fund discretionary
revenues allocated to Police and Fire personnel and services (approximately $71.5 million of $109 million
in revenues). In addition, staff from Administration, Finance, Human Resources, City Attorney and Public
Works provide significant support to public safety. In an attempt to address public safety staffing
shortages, the City added 5 new police officer positions and 12 firefighters in the current fiscal year.
Unfortunately, as noted in the City’s Long-Term Financial Plan, which is included in the City Council
adopted budget and is available on the City website at www.chulavistaca.gov/publicsafety, discretionary
revenues are not keeping pace with the need for additional public safety personnel to support the City’s
current and future population.
Process for Creation of the Plan
At the June 6, 2017 Council Meeting, the City Manager was directed to “report back to the City Council
within 120 days with a plan to address the chronic understaffing of the Police and Fire Departments, with
such plan considering all options, including: (i) alternative service models that may improve effectiveness
and reduce costs; and (ii) potential funding sources.”
Staff reported back to Council on September 26, 2017 with a Public Safety Staffing Report which is
available at www.chulavistaca.gov/publicsafety. The report assessed factors affecting public safety,
including:
• Community and stakeholder feedback/input on priorities for delivery of public safety services
• Short and long-term staffing level standards for CVPD and CVFD
• Response times for Priority 1 and Priority 2 emergency calls for CVPD
• Response times with properly equipped and staffed fire and medical units for CVFD
• Consideration of alternate public safety service delivery models
• Accounting for growth – 5-year, 10-year and build-out projection models
• Fiscal forecasts and impacts
The Public Safety Staffing Report provided the foundation for developing the Public Safety Staffing
Strategies report which is available at www.chulavistaca.gov/publicsafety. The Public Safety Staffing
Strategies includes:
Intended Public Safety Expenditure Plan 2018
2
• Recommending staffing allocations for CVPD and CVFD to provide critical public safety services
• Estimated costs for staffing and a phasing schedule
• Assessment of potential funding sources
• Overview of results of public opinion surveys
The City’s Communications staff informed the Chula Vista community about public safety staffing issues
in a variety of media including: the Community Connection newsletter, press releases, public and media
outreach and social media. Additionally, CVFD and CVPD representatives have attended community
meetings and discussed these public safety staffing issues.
At the September 26, 2017 City Council meeting, Council directed the City Manager to conduct a public
opinion survey, inform the community about public safety staffing issues presented, and to come back to
Council with options to address staffing issues, including revenue options.
At the December 19, 2017 City Council meeting staff presented the Public Safety Staffing Strategies report.
This report outlined staffing proposals for the Police and Fire Department that addressed critical needs.
The departments evaluated their operations and identified the gaps in not only service levels, but also in
the customer service experience for residents and businesses.
Public Safety Advisory Committee
The City Manager established an internal working group with staff from Fire, Police, Administration and
Finance Departments to conduct a comprehensive assessment of the Police and Fire Departments. To
help identify the needs and priorities of our community and to evaluate the state of public safety, the City
Manager formed the Public Safety Advisory Committee (PSAC) in July 2017. The committee includes Chula
Vista residents, business owners and community leaders. The Committee continues to provide input into
refining priorities for public safety in the City.
Public Outreach and Public Opinion Surveys
In November 2017, the City of Chula Vista engaged a research firm to conduct a public opinion survey to
identify the services and projects that residents are most interested in funding and to obtain input on a
potential half-cent general sales tax to fund the services.

Public Opinion on Prioritizing Projects and Programs
Police Department Critical Needs
The Chula Vista Police Department is composed of over 300 authorized fulltime employees, including 232
sworn officers, 91 professional staff and over 80 volunteers who work tirelessly to provide public safety
services to the second largest city in San Diego County. CVPD has the lowest sworn staffing to population
ratio in the County and the second lowest staffing ratio in California for comparably sized cities.
Furthermore, CVPD’s current staffing ratio is significantly lower than a decade ago when the Department
was authorized 259 sworn officers and 114 professional staff.
Despite such challenges, Chula Vista is fortunate to have a relatively low crime rate and it is consistently
recognized as one of the safest cities of its size in the country. Unfortunately, staffing challenges,
combined with Chula Vista’s growth, have strained CVPD’s ability to continue to provide the high level of
public safety service to which the residents of Chula Vista have become accustomed. After extensive
review, CVPD staff have recommended substantial increases in sworn and civilian staff to raise CVPD’s
staffing to the appropriate level to meet the current and projected future service demands of Chula Vista.
The Public Safety Staffing report presented to City Council on September 26, 2017, explored the history
of CVPD’s staffing challenges and made recommendations to restore CVPD staffing to levels more in line
with those of regional law enforcement agencies. The following is a summary of the immediate staffing
needs as identified by the Police Department.
Intended Public Safety Expenditure Plan 2018

Police Department Critical Needs (Phases I and II)
Police Officers – 43 positions
Uniformed Community Patrol Officers (24 positions) Uniformed patrol responds to calls for service, deters
crime and conducts proactive policing to address traffic and quality of life issues. These are among the
primary missions of any municipal police agency. It is critical to maintain adequate staffing throughout
the City, 7 days a week and 365 days a year. The addition of 24 officers would provide more than a 30
percent increase in the number of officers on the street at any time, and would double the number of
officers in the fast-growing/developing areas of the City.
Despite personnel transfers to Community Patrol from other CVPD divisions, first-line patrol
operations are falling short of historical performance standards and outcomes. As discussed in the
Public Safety Staffing Report, Community Patrol is consistently unable to meet Priority 1 and 2 GMOC
response times. Priority 3 and Priority 4 call response times also have increased dramatically, further
increasing wait times for citizens reporting crimes or calling for police service.
Additionally, other markers of Community Patrol effectiveness indicate a decline in operational
capacity.
Notable areas of performance concern 2008-2016
• 53% decline in officer initiated calls for service
• 41% decline in felony arrests
• 26% decline in misdemeanor arrests
• 49% decline in traffic citations
Positions Phase I Phase II Total
Peace Officers 16.0 11.0 27.0
Police Agents 8.0 2.0 10.0
Police Sergeants 5.0 1.0 6.0
Total Sworn 29.0 14.0 43.0
Civilian Background Investigator 2.0 - 2.0
Community Services Officer 2.0 1.0 3.0
Detention Facilities Manager 1.0 - 1.0
Police Comm Systems Manager 1.0 - 1.0
Police Dispatcher 7.0 4.0 11.0
Sr. Police Technology Specialist 1.0 - 1.0
Total Non-Sworn 14.0 5.0 19.0
Total Police FTE Positions 43.0 19.0 62.0
Note: In addition to the positions listed above, the intented spending plan allocates
resources to support staff reimbursements, vehicles and IT equipment needs.
Intended Public Safety Expenditure Plan 2018
5
• 28% increase in traffic related deaths and injuries
• 10% increase in traffic collisions
• 51% decline in parking citations
These statistics are indicative of a reactive patrol stance rather than one which is proactive and service
oriented. The primary factor for such reductions likely are officer workloads and lack of proactive time
to address community problems other than priority calls.
It is also worth noting that police work has changed and cases and workloads are more complex than
ever. This means patrol officers must consider many more factors as they go about their work.
Oftentimes this results in a substantially increased workload. For example, the District Attorney’s
Office has enhanced case issuance guidelines which often requires more time for initial field
investigations and subsequent follow-up work by detectives.
Other factors, like Body Worn Cameras have many benefits but they extend the report writing process
by requiring officers to review video footage to ensure report accuracy. Also, social media use, almost
non-existent a decade ago, has exploded and adds to case complexity and investigative time. To
complicate matters, the public’s use of smart phones and other electronic devices requires extra time,
training, sophistication and expertise to thoroughly investigate cases. For example, search warrants
are often required when phones are seized and cases with multiple suspects may require extensive
downloads and searches of several phones and electronic devices to build a prosecutable case.
Homeless Outreach Team (4 positions) CVPD is also challenged by increasing calls for service regarding
homelessness which require more time and resources. Issues surrounding homelessness became so
serious that in the Fiscal Year 2016-17 budget, the City Council approved funding to add two officers and
a part-time coordinator position to form the Homeless Outreach Team (HOT). While the Department’s
HOT team has done great work, two officers cannot make a large enough impact on this difficult social
and public safety challenge which requires constant monitoring and attention.
Patrol officers respond to the majority of calls related to homelessness. These cases are not simple
and often involve interconnected social dynamics, substance abuse and mental health problems. A
humanitarian policing response is complex and time consuming. Homeless outreach involves close
collaboration with social service providers to provide wraparound services and enforcement to
address the chronically homeless. Again, such coordination is a lengthy process. By adding four more
officers to the HOT team, the police department can better address issues that impact every
neighborhood in the City.
Traffic Enforcement Officers (4 positions) Traffic Enforcement Officers coordinate traffic safety
campaigns, conduct specialized enforcement, follow-up on hit and run investigations, enforce DUI laws,
address illegally parked cars and abandoned vehicles, and investigate serious and fatal traffic collisions.
Current staffing prevents the Police Department from dedicating officers to investigate hit and run
collisions, and traffic safety continues to be a growing concern in a rapidly growing city. By adding more
Traffic Enforcement Officers, the Police Department can address this urgent community need.
Intended Public Safety Expenditure Plan 2018

School Resource Officers (4 positions) The safety of our schools is another crucial priority for our
community. Since 2007, the number of School Resource Officers (SRO) has been cut in half. An
increase in the number of SRO Officers is critical for the continued safety of our 65 schools and 57,000
students. The SRO Unit is part of the Criminal Investigations Division. Contracts with Chula Vista
Elementary School District and Sweetwater Union High School District offset almost 50% of the cost
of these services with the remainder covered by the City.
Investigations/Detectives (7 positions) The Police Department’s Investigation Division conducts
follow-up and investigations to identify and arrest criminals, locate missing persons, monitor sex
offenders, locate and return stolen property, regulate police controlled businesses such as alcohol,
tobacco, and illegal marijuana, and coordinate with federal agencies in areas related to drug
enforcement, child abuse, human trafficking, auto theft, and terrorism. Since 2007, the number of
detectives in many investigation units has been cut in half. Increasing the number of detectives is
important to enhancing the police department’s ability to investigate and prosecute criminal
offenders.
Support/Professional/Civilian Staffing (19 positions)
9-1-1 Operators and Dispatchers (11 positions) The Police Department’s 9-1-1 Center is the first point of
contact for service delivery for virtually all police and fire services. All 9 -1-1 calls go first to the
Communications Center before being routed as emergency calls to Chula Vista Police Dispatchers or San
Diego Fire Department Dispatch (contracted Dispatch for Chula Vista Fire). CVPD currently has 21 Police
Dispatchers and 5 Police Dispatch Supervisors. The Association of Public Safety Communication Officials
(APCO) standards indicate that CVPD should be staffed with a minimum of 30 Police Dispatchers, not
including supervisors, based upon call volumes. Increasing staffing in this crucial area helps to ensure
public safety by improving answer times and by meeting minimum staffing requirements as
recommended by APCO standards.
Other Critical Support Staffing Needs (8 positions) Police operations require significant support from
civilian and professional staff. These important members of the Police Department include customer
service staff for the Department’s public service counter, community service and police service officers,
crime lab and evidence technicians, police report and records specialists, and technology specialists. A
moderate increase in professional staff is necessary to support additional capabilities made possible
through additional resources and capacity, and to meet the expectations of today’s modern policing
requirements.
Desired Police Department Safety Outcomes
CVPD staff understand the fiscal outlook and limitations of the City and acknowledge the negative
consequences of not being transparent with policymakers regarding the current state of CVPD’s
operational capacity. But, it is imperative that the City recognizes the challenges to providing public
safety services to meet Chula Vista’s needs, especially with limited funding to keep pace with growth.
Intended Public Safety Expenditure Plan 2018
7
The top ten desired public safety service outcomes:
1. Improve Priority 1 and Priority 2 response times to consistently meet and surpass Growth
Management Oversight Commission
• Priority 1 – Emergency Calls1. Properly equipped and staffed police units shall respond
to at least 81% of Priority 1 calls within 7 minutes and 30 seconds and shall maintain
an average response time of 6 minutes or less for all Priority 1 calls (measured
annually).
• Priority 2 – Urgent Calls2. Properly equipped and staffed police units shall respond to
all Priority 2 calls within 12 minutes or less (measured annually).
2. Expand the Homeless Outreach Team to help address the City’s most pressing social needs
3. Improve Community Patrol staffing to provide for 40% pro-active time. This will result in
an organization that is pro-active vs. reactive to crime and disorder trends
4. Improve Communications Center staffing and operations to improve first-line contact and
service processing with the public
5. Improve Investigative capacity and follow-up in all major investigative units to maximize
successful case resolution and provide better customer service to victims
6. Improve the Traffic Division’s operational footprint to proactively respond to traffic related
problems and reduce traffic related deaths and injuries
7. Significantly expand the School Resource Officer Unit to more adequately serve the needs
of growing school districts and the youth population of Chula Vista
8. Expand use of technology to streamline operations and support intelligence led policing
practices
9. Expand the Department’s Community Policing Unit and community outreach efforts to
foster stronger community ties
10. Provide for the expansion of services to the eastern section of the City by staffing a
storefront or small substation with full-time staff during regular business hours. A similar
storefront would be planned for the Bayfront tourist district to support a reconstituted
bike team to patrol the tourist district
1 Priority 1 – Emergency Calls are life-threatening calls; felony in progress; probability of injury (crime or
accident); robbery or panic alarms; urgent cover calls from officers. Response: Immediate response by two
officers from any source or assignment, immediate response by paramedics/fire if injuries are believed to have
occurred.
2 Priority 2 – Urgent Calls are misdemeanor in progress; possibility of injury; serious non-routine calls
(domestic violence or other disturbances with potential for violence). Response: Immediate response by one
or more officers from clear units or those on interruptible activities (traffic, field interviews, etc.)

Fire Department Critical Needs
The mission of the Chula Vista Fire Department (CVFD) is to protect life, environment and property.
Carrying out that mission is very complex and becomes more complex with each passing year. The Public
Safety Staffing Report, as presented to the City Council on September 26, 2017, evaluated CVFD’s core
capabilities and services and compared them against outcome based performance metrics that are
supported by appropriate regulations, industry standards and best practices.
As the City’s population grows, there will be a subsequent increase in demand for fire and emergency
services (call volume). Urban planning has and continues to move toward higher housing densities and it
is critical for the Fire Department to support the additional population, as well as prepare for wildland fire
events, natural disasters, and the present threat of active shooter incidents and terrorism. The variety of
service demands will require a shift in how the Fire Department deploys and delivers services, with the
outcome focused on protecting life and property.
The following includes a summary of the staffing needs as identified by the Fire Department. A more
detailed discussion is available in the Public Safety Staffing report.

Fire Department Phase I and II - Critical Staffing Needs
Fire Department emergency operations performance standards are focused on outcomes of core
functions and services provided. The Fire Department has found that by establishing the following three
metrics, all other services are met when these are achieved. Meeting these me trics also provides the
highest level of service to the residents of Chula Vista.
Fire; First Unit On-Scene
First unit on-scene within seven minutes 90% of the time, with four firefighters, is known as the Initial
Attack Force. This Attack Force establishes command at the scene, initiates an attack on the fire, and
performs search and rescue. The key function of this metric is to maintain distribution and reliability of
resources. If a unit arrives prior to the seven-minute mark and initiates fire attack prior to flashover
occurring, the survivability within the room of origin increases and fire loss is reduced.
Fire; Effective Response Force
14 firefighters on-scene within ten minutes 90% of the time is known as the Effective Response Force and
capable of command and control of the scene, establishing a water supply, supporting and backing up fire
attack, completing search and rescue, performing ventilation of heat and smoke, providing a Rapid
Intervention Crew and a Safety Officer. Fighting a fire requires the right number of personnel and
resources to meet this metric. The critical tasks required by the Effective Response Force include
coordinating and allocating resources, extinguishing the fire, searching for victims, and performing
ventilation. By having the correct number of firefighters on-scene in a timely manner, the fire can be
extinguished and firefighters can then tend to property conservation tasks.
EMS; First Unit On-Scene
In the case of emergency medical events, having the first unit on-scene within seven minutes 90% of the
time is crucial to a positive outcome for the patient. Units must establish comm and, provide basic life
support and initiate advanced life support patient care. Arriving prior to the seven-minute mark provides

basic life support patient care to stabilize the sick and injured. Once the patient is stabilized, advanced life
support skills can be initiated prior to the arrival of the transporting ambulance. With the arrival of the
first on-scene unit within seven minutes, survivability increases significantly.
Fire Prevention/Investigation
Within the Fire Prevention Division, the primary outcome metric is to identify and eliminate hazards.
Therefore, it is important that the Division complete all required inspections. These metrics are used to
determine if the Fire Prevention Division is accomplishing its goals. The Division’s current metrics are:
For Fire Code Inspection services, the following performance metrics shall be met:
• Complete 100% of permitted occupancy inspections annually
• Complete 100% of California State Fire Marshal regulated occupancy inspections annually
• New business license inspections are completed within 30 days
For Fire Safety Engineering services, the following performance metrics shall be met:
• Complete 90% of plan reviews within the established time frames
For Fire Investigation services, the following performance metrics shall be met:
• 100% of fire origin and cause investigations performed by Fire Prevention personnel
For Community Risk Reduction Education services, the following performance metrics shall be met:
• Complete 200 public education/outreach sessions/classes/events annually

Phase I – Critical Needs Funding
The City Council was provided an overview of various revenue options for consideration. In addition, the
City Council heard the findings from the public opinion survey conducted in November 2017. After
discussions regarding the critical needs and funding options, the City Council directed the City Manager
to return with a proposal for Council consideration to place a half-cent sales tax measure before the voters
to fund public safety critical needs.
After reviewing the critical needs for each department, as well as the costing information to address the
needs, staff has identified two phases to address the staffing shortage in public safety. Phase I outlines
the most critical needs identified by the Police and Fire Departments for the next 10 years. Although
addressing these needs does not fully address critical staffing needs entirely, it does allow the
departments to significantly improve the service level provided to residents and businesses throughout
the City. Phase I public safety critical needs could be funded by a half-cent sales tax measure which would
generate approximately $17 million per year as demonstrated on page 21. Sales taxes, also referred to as
transaction and use taxes, are an option for cities to consider when looking for significant additional
funding. Sales taxes must be approved by registered voters to take effect. If the funds are intended to be
used for a specific purpose a 2/3 voter approval is required. For general use sales taxes, a 50 percent plus
one vote is required for approval. The combined local sales taxes are capped at two percent, with some
exceptions allowed by state law. This means that cities are only able to add a 1 percent additional sales
taxes when proposing a new measure. This is typically proposed in one-quarter cent, half-cent or one cent
increments.
The measure provides that any proposed expenditures of new sales tax revenues in the initial year will be
presented in a form consistent with this Plan to the Citizen Oversight Committee prior to City Council
consideration. For each subsequent year, the spending plan, after review by a Citizen Oversight
Committee, will be included in the City Manager’s proposed budget for Council consideration as part of
the annual budget process.
The measure requires that expenditure of new sales tax revenues be tracked in a variety of ways. First, all
new revenues will be accounted for in the General Fund as a separate line item. Any and all expenditures
of Measure “Y”3 will be tracked and accounted for by City Finance Department staff in accordance with
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). Second, an independent audit of Measure “Y” will be
included as part of the City’s annual audit. Finally, a Citizen’s Oversight Committee will be formed to
review and report compliance with the sales tax ordinance and spending guidelines contained in the
Intended Public Safety Expenditure Plan.
Note: This Plan is intended to guide City expenditures consistent with its terms. It does not, however,
constitute a binding legal commitment on the City Council to approve any of the expenditures proposed
herein. Provided that all proposed expenditures continue to be for public safety critical needs including
support staff and equipment needs as outlined in the spending plan, this Plan may also be updated or
3 The initiative letter will be assigned by the County Registrar of Voters.

amended from time to time by City staff, or by action of the City Council, in order to address changed
priorities, standards and/or funding availability. There shall be no third party beneficiaries to the terms of
this Plan. This Plan does not modify the terms of the sales tax measure. To the extent of any conflict
between the terms of this Plan and the sales tax measure, the terms of the sales tax measure shall govern.
Police Department – Summary of Phase I Critical Needs
This report will focus on addressing Phase I critical needs and the anticipated fiscal impact of a half-cent
sales tax measure. The following are the highest priority items for funding during Phase I:
Police Department Phase I
Implementation By Fiscal Year
Adding 43 positions (29 police officers and 14 civilian positions)
These positions would result in:
• Enhanced community patrols by adding 16 sworn positions
• 50% increase in School Resource Officers by adding 5 sworn positions
• 55% increase in Traffic Safety staffing by adding 5 sworn positions
• 26% increase in Dispatch/9-1-1 staffing by adding 7 dispatchers
• Increase staffing in the Professional Standards Unit to conduct background investigations as part
of the hiring process
• Two additional Community Service Officers will allow officers to respond to higher priority calls
for service
Intended Public Safety Expenditure Plan 2018

Fire Department – Summary of Phase I Critical Needs
Fire Department Phase I
Implementation By Fiscal Year
Adding 36 positions (35 uniformed personnel and 1 civilian position)
These positions would result in:
• Staff four Squad Units in the eastern areas of the City to improve response times where the
largest performance gaps exist
• Create a Public Education Specialist position to conduct community risk assessments for the
development and delivery of fire safety education programs
• Staffing the future Millenia & Bayfront Fire Station Engine Companies with a 4th firefighter
increasing emergency scene productivity by 25%, reducing property damage and increasing
safety to firefighters.
• Staffing four current engine companies with a 4th firefighter increasing emergency scene
productivity by 25%, reducing property damage and increasing safety to firefighters
• Add one Deputy Fire Chief to support Fire Department growth with planning, directing and
coordinating activities
Citywide Support Staff
Public Safety is a top priority in the City of Chula Vista. The City allocates approximately 67% of
discretionary revenues to the Police and Fire Departments combined. This doesn’t include the citywide
support staff in Finance, Human Resources, Information Technology, Administration, City Attorney and
Public Works that spend a significant amount of time supporting public safety services. If the sales tax
measure is approved, the spending plan does take into account an annual estimated reimbursement to
the support departments. Some of the services provided by the support departments to public safety
include payroll processing, deferred compensation, financial analysis, procurement, budgetary support,
recruitment, employee benefits, workers compensation, employee performance, labor negotiations,
public safety IT systems support, legal services, contractual oversight, risk management and facilities and
equipment maintenance. The annual allocations to these departments may vary based on the time spent
supporting public safety. The initial years may require additional funding due to recruitment costs and
other support services.

Temporary Multi-Purpose Storefront and Public Safety Training Center
A portion of the sales tax funds could also be allocated for a temporary public safety training facility in
central Chula Vista. The facility would not be a permanent structure but could provide for joint training
opportunities for Police and Fire personnel. The Fire Department currently utilizes the four-acre site in
Rancho Del Rey located at 850 Paseo Ranchero for training purposes. The location provides both
classrooms and training props designed for hands-on training experience. The funding would add an
additional facility on the property to be used on a temporary basis.
The Police Department would use portions of the temporary facility to enhance training and to provide a
secure area from which officers patrolling the eastern sector of the City could work. At this time, CVPD
does not have the personnel to staff a storefront facility, however, an appropriately designed temporary
facility could enhance police service to central and eastern Chula Vista by allowing officers a secure area
to work when they are not engaged in patrol activities. Depending on the design, there could also be
public access to meet officers for reports or hold community meetings. It would also provide a training
venue within the City limits for police officers. Many training venues are outside of the City limits, thus
requiring additional travel time. Having a facility near the center of the City will reduce travel time, allow
more time for training related activities and get officers back in service faster to serve the operational
needs of the Police Department. An appropriately designed and staffed facility would also give the public
an alternative to driving to the main police station for service. This would serve to support the Police
Department personnel as it seeks to improve response times in the eastern area of the City.
Phase II Critical Needs Funding
Phase II public safety critical needs could move forward as the City’s economic base improves and major
transformational projects begin moving forward such as the Bayfront and University development
projects. Other funding options may also be considered in the future as part of the annual budget process.
Phase II Funding Options
Local governments receive revenues from a variety of sources. The detailed listing of all the City’s funding
sources is included in both the Annual Adopted Budget and the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report.
Following is a summary of other revenue sources which could be considered in the future to address Phase
II if the City’s economic base does not grow sufficiently to fund additional critical needs.
Parcel Taxes – Parcel taxes are another method for cities to raise new revenues. Like sales taxes, parcel
taxes require registered voter approval. The key difference is that all parcel tax measures require 2/3 voter
approval to pass. There is no specific cap on the level of parcel taxes that can be proposed for voter
consideration. For example, with an additional $100 parcel tax, the City would generate approximately
$10 million in new revenue annually.
Special District Taxes – Special Districts come in a variety of forms. Some are used to build new
infrastructure, while others are maintenance related to help preserve assets that were previously built.
Intended Public Safety Expenditure Plan 2018
20
As it relates to public safety, the most common special district is a public safety community facilities
district (CFD). Depending on the number of parcels and registered voters within the proposed taxing area,
the approval of the tax may come from the property owner or registered voters. A 2/3 vote is typically
required for approval of a new CFD. The most common application of a public safety CFD is to identify
new development areas within a City and propose a new special tax in that area to maintain or enhance
service levels for future residents. Special tax rates may vary depending on the type of residential and
commercial development within the CFD boundaries. The main restriction of special district safety taxes
is that the funds are earmarked and must be spent in the area in which the voters approved the measure
(district boundaries).
Fees – Fees are discussed in greater detail within the City’s Long Term Financial Plan. In general, fees can
be established or increased with the vote of City Council. It is a best practice to set fees at full cost
recovery, or the total cost of providing the services to the individual or company, when the services are
provided to an individual and are not a general benefit to the community. For public safety purposes, fees
may come in the form of administrative fees, permits or other activities provided to individuals. An
example may be a fire response fee when responding to negligent behavior when a fire is started because
of conditions not within code or a police false alarm fee to recover cost of non-incident alarms.
Transient Occupancy Taxes – Transient Occupancy Taxes, also referred to as TOT, are taxes paid by
hotel/motel guests when the duration of the stay is less than 30 consecutive days. A majority vote of the
electorate is required to approve an increase in the TOT rate within a City. Currently, the City’s TOT rate
is 10 percent. Each 2 percent increase in TOT would bring in an estimated $800,000 annually based on the
existing hotels in the City.
Also, recent projections by the City’s actuary does assume that the escalating pension costs will level off
in approximately 10 years which may provide for additional opportunities to fund Phase II critical needs
as part of the regular budget process. These assumptions are very preliminary as CalPERS continues to
recommend changes which may prolong the pension cost impacts to all participating agencies.
Conclusion
The longer-term projections for the City’s General Fund continue to pose serious challenges because
revenues are not expected to 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, staff will continue to identify cost
saving measures and address economic development opportunities throughout the City. It is unlikely that
the City will be able to address public safety’s critical staffing needs discussed in this report without a new
revenue source. This report identified the Phase I public safety critical needs that could be funded through
a half-cent sales tax measure. Phase II could be addressed as the City continues to grow and new economic
development projects become a reality. The additional critical needs could be considered as part of the
annual budget process as the City works through its fiscal challenges.
