Annual Report of the Measure A Citizens Oversight Committee
Fiscal Year 2019‐20
Measure A Background
On June 5, 2018, Chula Vista voters passed Measure A, the half-cent sales tax measure to fund
public safety staffing and services. The new tax allows the Chula Vista Fire and Police
Departments to provide faster responses to 9-1-1 emergency calls, increase neighborhood police
patrols, reduce gang and drug-related crimes, address homelessness, and improve firefighter,
paramedic and emergency medical response times. The tax took effect on October 1, 2018, and
brought Chula Vista’s tax rate to 8.75 percent.
Citizens Oversight Committee
As stipulated by the City of Chula Vista Municipal Code Chapter 2.63, the Measure A Citizens'
Oversight Committee ("COC") was created for the purpose of providing citizens’ oversight in
connection with expenditures of tax revenues generated by Measure A. The function of the COC
is to review and report on City compliance with the provisions of Measure A, particularly with
respect to the City’s accounting and expenditure of Measure A revenues. The Measure A COC
held its first meeting on September 26, 2018, and now meets quarterly on the second Thursday
of January, April, July and October.
The Measure A COC is composed of twelve members appointed to four-year terms. All terms
expire June 30th on the year listed below. The COC members as of 6/30/2020 are:

Conclusion
The Citizens Oversight Committee notes that this Annual Report refers only to the period from
July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2020. This report presents the first full year of collections and
expenditures for the Measure A funds.
The Citizens Oversight Committee has reviewed the Independent Auditor’s Report on Compliance
with Applicable Requirement prepared by the audit firm of Lance, Soll and Lunghard (LSL), the
Measure A Spending Plan, and various expenditure and revenue reports prepared by the City
staff. In its report dated June 30, 2020, the auditor “did not identify any deficiencies in internal
control over compliance…”. Further, it was the auditor’s opinion that “the City complied, in all
material respects, with the requirements…” of the 2018 Measure A Sales Tax Fund.
We would like to acknowledge City staff for their dedication and support to the COC. They have
been responsive as we work to ensure transparency in the reporting of Measure A Funds.

Measure A Citizens’ Oversight Committee - STAFF REPORT
Page 2 ׀ Measure A Citizens’ Oversight Staff Report October 14, 2021
SUMMARY
To meet ongoing operational needs, the Police and Fire Departments are proposing to amend the
Measure A Public Safety Expenditure Plan to add the following 10 positions in FY2021-22:
1.0 Police Captain
1.0 Equipment Mechanic
1.0 Forensics Specialist
3.0 Property & Evidence Specialists
1.0 Property & Evidence Supervisor
3.0 Senior Police Records Specialists
DISCUSSION
With the successful passage of the Measure A Sales Tax, staff is continuing to implement the
Public Safety Expenditure Plan (PSEP). As outlined in the current spending plan, the Police
Department was able to add 56 positions (40 sworn and 16 civilian) and the Fire Department was
able to add 30 sworn positions (as of 7/1/2021) through Measure A funding.
From its available fund balance, the Police Department is requesting to add 9.5 FTE positions to
its PSEP. These proposed positions align with the Department’s 5-year strategic plan developed
in 2019 and currently being finalized. The Police Department’s Strategic Plan reaffirms the vision,
mission, values and strategic priorities as a progressive and community-focused organization.
Also, the Fire Department is requesting to add 0.5 FTE Equipment Mechanic to its PSEP, funded
by its available fund balance.
Currently, there is a healthy reserve balance of $29.5M in the Measure A fund as of 6/30/2021
($17.8M for Police and $11.6M for Fire). Because additional staffing is needed to meet the
operational needs of the Police & Fire Departments, staff is requesting to fund the following
positions based on anticipated sales tax revenues.
Police Captain
As the Police Department has grown in size and complexity, the current configuration of a Chief
of Police and four division managers (3 Captains & 1 Admin Services Manager) is increasingly

unwieldy. The Department has become a national leader in police innovation and 21st Century
Policing, which is a significant advantage for the agency as it meets the challenges of the future.
At the same time, CVPD’s innovations draw management and executive staff time and energy in
a number of directions external to the management of the organization. This includes participation
in state organizations, speaking engagements at conferences, media interviews, and responding to
elected officials at various levels interested to know more about the leading edge of police practice.
A 4th Police Captain will provide the adequate span of control for the Department, given that 56
positions have been added to the Department through Measure A funding. Adding a 5th division
(under a Captain) will allow the department to consolidate management and oversight of some
crucial operational areas that are currently handled as collateral duties.
Equipment Mechanic
With the approval of Measure A, the Police and Fire departments have added staff and associated
vehicles and equipment. This in turn has resulted in increased workload for the City’s Fleet
Maintenance staff. The addition of an Equipment Mechanic will allow for improved service
delivery for public safety vehicles as preventative maintenance and repairs will be addressed in a
timelier manner. Half (0.5 FTE) of a full-time position will be funded by the Police Department,
and the other half will be funded by the Fire Department.
Forensic Specialist
Due to a recent assessment of crime lab operations, police staff have identified an area that requires
significant improvement, particularly in firearms evidence processing. The average time it takes
to get a crime gun into the firearms database (IBIS) is approximately 6 months. The ATF released
Minimum Required Operating Standards (MROS) that identify 72 hours as the appropriate time
frame to enter crime guns and cartridge casings into the system, to provide real-time information
to investigators. The Crime Lab at the Police Department has been unable to meet these MROS’s,
due to the structural issues inherent in using a contract laboratory. This issue should be resolved
by assuming the responsibility of directly entering firearms evidence into IBIS rather than relying
on external laboratory organizations. This can be achieved by providing additional training of
current forensic personnel, adding required instrumentation, and adding 1.0 Forensic Specialist.
The addition of a Forensic Specialist would also provide operational continuity for the existing 2.0
Forensic Specialists when responding to crime scene investigations, add structural integrity to the
laboratory program, and provide the Police Department with new capabilities necessary to help
reduce gun violence in our City.
Property & Evidence Supervisor (1) and Property Evidence Specialists (3)
The Police Department’s Evidence Control Unit (ECU) is responsible for more than 40,000
evidence transactions each year, and manages a number of time consuming programs to meet the
requirements of state and federal regulations. The ECU is staffed by 2 full-time and 3 part-time
hourly Property and Evidence Specialists. (ECU staffing was significantly reduced beginning in
2007, and remains below pre-2007 levels.) Estimates suggest that the ECU falls behind in its
mandatory tasks at a rate of 1½ days per week, resulting in a net loss of 3-4 months per year. This
continues to put the ECU several years behind what would otherwise be a mandatory task load.
Page 4 ׀ Measure A Citizens’ Oversight Staff Report October 14, 2021
Meanwhile, lower priority projects are at least a decade behind. When measured against seven
other similar agencies in the County of San Diego (Escondido, El Cajon, National City, Coronado,
La Mesa, Oceanside, and Carlsbad), all agencies staff their equivalent units an average of 2.3 times
the number of staff in comparison with Chula Vista’s ECU. Adding one Property & Evidence
Supervisor and 3 Property & Evidence Specialists will address the workload issues in the ECU.
Because the Property & Evidence Supervisor does not exist in the City’s current classification list,
the Human Resources Department will create a new classification for this position.
Senior Police Records Specialists (3)
The administrative support needs for the Police Support Services (PSS) unit have grown
significantly in the last 24 months, while staffing in the unit has remained the same since it lost
positions in 2007 due to the recession. The PSS unit reviews and validates over 16,000 reports
from the department’s record management system, over 1,500 supplemental officer reports, and
over 500 vehicle impound reports each year. The services provided by PSS staff to Police
Department colleagues, other City Departments, City residents and government entities have
greatly reduced due to limited staff resources, coupled with new local, state and federal mandates
for police records. For example, Senate Bill (SB) 16, which builds on the landmark SB 1421,
significantly expands the types of police records that must be disclosed, adding four categories to
the four existing disclosure mandates. Also, Assembly Bill (AB) 2425 requires the arresting law
enforcement agency to seal juvenile arrest records no later than 60 days from the notification by
the probation department. The addition of 3 Sr Police Records Specialists to the PSS unit will
address the increased workload, complexity of technical systems/processes and legislative
mandates.
Summary of Proposed Changes:
To address the evolving needs of the community, staff recommends the addition of 10 positions to
enhance service levels to our community. These include:
1.0 Police Captain, to provide adequate span of control for a growing organization
1.0 Equipment Mechanic, for improved service delivery of public safety vehicles
1.0 Forensics Specialist, to assist with firearms evidence processing
3.0 Property & Evidence Specialists, to keep up with mandated evidence tasks
1.0 Property & Evidence Supervisor, to oversee the Evidence Control Unit
3.0 Senior Police Records Specialists, to provide adequate support due to constant-
changing legislative mandates
The charts below outline proposed changes (highlighted in yellow) to each department’s PSEP.

The Police and Fire Departments recognize that current community demands, safety strategies,
and staffing needs will likely change in the future. Both departments also recognize that revenues
and expenses used to calculate current allocation plans may change in the future. PSEP
recommendations for future years will continue to be reevaluated, balanced against changes in
revenue or expenditure projections, and considered along with changing public safety trends and

ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
City staff believe that the projected sales tax revenues are conservative and the overall reserves in
the Measure A fund would be sufficient to fund all positions. It is important to note that Measure
A projected sales tax revenues fluctuate with the economy. The City will actively monitor the
trends to determine if Measure A positions need to be held vacant in order to avoid long-term
structural deficits and avoid layoffs or service level impacts. If at any point in time there exists
budgetary challenges due to unforeseen cost increases or sales tax revenue losses, City staff will
reassess the PSEP to determine if positions need to be frozen or removed from the plan, to avoid
any fiscal impact to General Fund services.
Attachment 1 (Public Safety Expenditure Plan as of 10-11-2021) shows the amended Measure A
PSEP, which includes the proposed positions and amendments highlighted in yellow.
In order to ensure that adequate reserves are maintained in the Measure A fund, staff will be
drafting a City Council Measure A reserve policy for consideration in the Spring 2022. This will
provide an opportunity to draft policies that will protect the services funded out of Measure A and
also ensure that no funding issues flow back to the General Fund impacting other public services.
Adequate reserve levels will be determined based on modeling a recession during the 10-year
forecast, which is not currently assumed in the Measure A spending plan. This analysis and
recommendation for reserve levels will be discussed as part of the development of the reserve
policy.
