Sara Kent Location: Submitted At: 4:54pm 02-16-21 Good evening, Mayor Salas and Councilmembers: I am a D2 resident who cannot wait for our turn to be provided with power from Community Choice Energy. Thank you for your historic leadership on Chula Vista's Climate Action Plan and CCE. I appreciate the work of the Chula Vista Community Advisory Committee, interim San Diego Community Power CEO Bill Carnahan, SDCP staff, and partner cities and organizations, and I look forward to the success of this program. Thank you. Carolyn Scofield Location: Submitted At: 4:20pm 02-16-21 Good Evening Mayor Salas and City Council Members. Thank you for all you have done to bring Community Choice Energy to Chula Vista. Now, as a founding member of San Diego Community Power, we have a great opportunity in our region to continue our climate action leadership, meet our Chula Vista Climate Action Plan goals, and bring economic benefits and choices to our community. As a member of the Community Advisory Committee, I have seen the hard work our interim CEO, Bill Carnahan and the SDCP staff have put into developing this program. SDCP has brought in a core group of staff that is inclusive and keeps connection to the community at the focus of their identity. They are developing programs that will extend opportunities to our Communities of Concern, something that is unique to the CCA model and was unavailable before. The phase one rollout of SDCP on March 1 is a milestone, starting us on our clear path to 100% renewable electricity in Chula Vista and our region. Becky Thimm Location: 91910, Chula Vista Submitted At: 4:03pm 02-16-21 Good Evening Mayor Salas & City Council Members, I am grateful for your support for bringing Community Choice Energy to Chula Vista. Chula Vista was the first in the region to pursue Community Choice Energy in the early 2000s. Now we are a proud founding member of San Diego Community Power. We now have a chance to meet our CAP goals, do right by all Chula Vistans and focus on our future. We are excited to start on our path to 100% renewable electricity by 2035. Thank you for thoughtfully reading my comments, Becky Thimm Agenda Item: eComments for 7. 21-0029 RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA (1) RESCINDING CITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION NO. 2021-001 AND CANCELLING THE AWARD OF THE CONTRACT FOR THE "MAJOR PAVEMENT REHABILITATION FY 2018/2019 (STM0397)" PROJECT TO FRANK AND SON PAVING, INC.

Regards, Jason A. Mordhorst President of Hazard Construction Company Agenda Item: eComments for 10. 20-0557 CONSIDERATION OF ESTABLISHING ENERGY BENCHMARKING AND CONSERVATION REQUIREMENTS FOR MULTIFAMILY AND COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA AMENDING CHAPTER 15.26 OF THE CHULA VISTA MUNICIPAL CODE TO ESTABLISH ENERGY BENCHMARKING AND CONSERVATION REQUIREMENTS FOR MULTIFAMILY AND COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS (FIRST READING) (THIS ITEM WAS PREVIOUSLY ON THE AGENDA OF 1/5/2021.) Overall Sentiment Matt Adams Location: 92119, San Diego Submitted At: 3:51pm 02-16-21 The Building Industry Association of San Diego County represents 650-member companies and over 35,000 men and women in the construction industry. The industry recognizes the importance of energy efficiency and understands the value associated with improvements to existing structures. However, the pursuit of new regulatory mandates during the Covid crisis will result in additional hardship for property owners and others who struggle financially as a consequence. The BIA respectfully request that any action be tabled until after the lifting of the state of emergency to give the regulated community some recovery time from the pandemic. Additionally, we support staff recommendation to cover implementation costs with the general fund and ask that it continue in subsequent years. Respectfully Submitted. Darbi Berry Location: Submitted At: 11:20am 02-16-21 On behalf of the San Diego Regional Climate Collaborative, I would like to applaud the efforts of the City of Chula Vista in the implementation of their climate planning efforts and strongly supports the adoption of this proposed ordinance as presented this evening. The San Diego Regional Climate Collaborative (Collaborative) was established in 2011 as a network for public agencies to advance climate change solutions that mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to the effects of climate change. Partnering with academia, non-profit organizations, and business and community leaders, the Collaborative raises the profile of regional leadership, shares expertise, and leverages resources. Two focus areas of the Collaborative’s work include climate action planning and energy efficiency - adoption of this ordinance is in line with our work. Jason Anderson Location: Submitted At: 7:49am 02-16-21 On behalf of Cleantech San Diego, I would like to express my support for the establishment of an energy benchmarking ordinance in the City of Chula Vista. Establishment of this ordinance will not only help the City advance its climate action goals, but will also support the local workforce. Carolyn Scofield Location: Submitted At: 2:41pm 02-15-21 Good Evening Mayor Salas and City Council Members, I support tonight’s agenda Item #10, an ordinance to establish annual energy benchmarking using the Energy Star Portfolio Manager and to require energy efficiency retrofits for multifamily and commercial buildings. This ordinance presents an important opportunity to monitor and mitigate a significant source of deadly greenhouse gas emissions in Chula Vista. The Ordinance Agenda Statement reports that: “Chula Vista multifamily, commercial and industrial buildings over 20K square feet are emitting 113,000 mtonsCO2e/year. The ordinance is projected to reduce these emissions by 6% after 10 years and 8% after 15 years. “ In addition to the critical need to lower greenhouse gas emissions, retrofitting buildings to increase energy efficiency in work places and homes improves quality of life by increasing indoor air quality, moderating temperature extremes, and lowering operating costs. Reducing or delaying upfront fees helps address the current financial impacts felt by so many. Providing choices to meet energy efficiency goals that are most needed and cost-effective helps owners meet the ordinance requirements. During this process, educating residents about energy efficiency in buildings is a fundamental investment in the future of our city. I urge you to vote YES to establish energy benchmarking and conservation requirements for multifamily and commercial buildings in Chula Vista. Thank you. Agenda Item: eComments for 12. 21-0010 CONSIDERATION OF ACCEPTING FEDERAL FUNDS AND APPLYING FOR STATE FUNDS FOR AN EMERGENCY RENTAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM AND ENTERING INTO A CONTRACTOR/SERVICE PROVIDER AGREEMENT WITH SOUTH BAY COMMUNITY SERVICES A.

Overall Sentiment Margaret Baker Location: Submitted At: 8:28pm 02-16-21 South Bay People Power supports this important measure. Edward A Location: 91915 Submitted At: 10:51am 02-16-21 Make sure that any help provided to tenants (which I am in favor for) make it to the landlords. While this resolution is based on good intentions, there are no mechanisms in place to make sure that the funds go to where they need to, which is pay rents to landlords. Although the Agenda document states that assistance payments will be made to landlord or utility, none of the resolutions or the attachments specifically state how the funds will be disbursed. So you are voting to accept the resolution that is incomplete on how deployment will occur. On option B, you state that a negative impact is that funds must be deployed by June 1st and completed by Aug 1 2021. Only government can consider that an AGGRESSIVE timeline. The money is needed NOW not whenever bureaucrats get around to it. Maty Adato Location: 91915, Chula Vista Submitted At: 9:56am 02-16-21 Good Evening, I have a couple of commercial properties in Chula Vista and have experienced first hand when people cannot pay their rent and I understand and thank goodness we have wonderful tenants and were able to reach a resolution that worked for everyone. However I have one tenant that just walked away in March 2020 and would not answer calls or emails. We had to hire a lawyer go through all of the postings etc to get to the point where we were authorized for a lockout to take place. However the Sheriff's Department was not performing lockouts from November until February but my space was still empty and rent accruing everyday and I legally could not take possession of the space. I do not know if this tenant received loans or help for rent because as a landlord I am not privy to that information. This tenant currently owes over $59,000 in back rent which I will probably never see. What guarantees are you going to put in this resolution that landlords are paid? How are you going to make sure the money will be used for its intended purposes, which is to pay rent and avoid eviction. I want to think that the majority of people applying will not go and spend the money received on a new TV or car but it happens often enough to where I am skeptical about this. I implore all of you to make sure the money is used for its intended purposes which is rent. Landlords have to pay their mortgages, utilities, property taxes and maintenance fees to keep the property running.
