GETTING TO KNOW YOUR AGENDA
Agenda Sections:
CONSENT CALENDAR items are routine items that are not expected to prompt discussion. All items are
considered for approval at the same time with one vote. Councilmembers and staff may request items be
removed and members of the public may submit a speaker slip if they wish to comment on an item. Items
removed from the Consent Calendar are discussed after the vote on the remaining Consent Calendar items.
PUBLIC COMMENT provides the public with an opportunity to address the Council on any matter not listed on
the agenda that is within the jurisdiction of the Council. In compliance with the Brown Act, the Council cannot
take action on matters not listed on the agenda.
PUBLIC HEARINGS are held on matters specifically required by law. The Mayor opens the public hearing
and asks for presentations from staff and from the proponent or applicant involved (if applicable) in the matter
under discussion. Following questions from the Councilmembers, the Mayor opens the public hearing and
asks for public comments. The hearing is closed, and the City Council may discuss and take action.
ACTION ITEMS are items that are expected to cause discussion and/or action by the Council but do not
legally require a Public Hearing. Staff may make a presentation and Councilmembers may ask questions of
staff and the involved parties before the Mayor invites the public to provide input.
CLOSED SESSION may only be attended by members of the Council, support staff, and/or legal counsel. The
most common purpose of a Closed Session is to avoid revealing confidential information that may prejudice
the legal or negotiating position of the City or compromise the privacy interests of employees. Closed
sessions may be held only as specifically authorized by law.
Council Actions:
RESOLUTIONS are formal expressions of opinion or intention of the Council and are usually effective
immediately.
ORDINANCES are laws adopted by the Council. Ordinances usually amend, repeal or supplement the
Municipal Code; provide zoning specifications; or appropriate money for specific purposes. Most ordinances
require two hearings: an introductory hearing, generally followed by a second hearing at the next regular
meeting. Most ordinances go into effect 30 days after the final approval.
PROCLAMATIONS are issued by the City to honor significant achievements by community members,
highlight an event, promote awareness of community issues, and recognize City employees.

Summary for Policy Makers
The global scientific consensus is unequivocal: the world is in the midst of a climate crisis and
our window to meaningfully reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) is closing.i Human
activities and influence have warmed the atmosphere, ocean, and land through rapid
accumulations of GHGs in the atmosphere and the ocean, causing rapid and alarming changes.
Global agreements, like the Paris Climate Agreement, and California executive orders recognize
the immediacy of decarbonization required across industries. Where past diplomatic efforts
have failed to achieve enough progress on climate change, regional models of problem-solving
that account for both global commitments and local needs can emerge as a more effective
approach.
The San Diego Regional Decarbonization Framework (RDF) Technical Analysis provides
technical and policy pathways to decarbonization in the medium-term to inform near-term
policy-making in regional, county, and city governments. The report models science-based
pathways to net zero carbon emissions for the region by 2045, which is consistent with the
Paris Climate Agreement and with State mandates. The pathways can provide a shared vision
for the San Diego region towards collectively reducing net GHG emissions such that they align
with State goals for net zero. This report is a technical analysis of how different se ctors in the
energy system can contribute to decarbonization, but it does not identify the “right” pathway
and instead shows multiple ways forward to highlight tradeoffs, co-benefits, decision points,
risks, and synergies. This analysis is meant to be constantly updated as technologies evolve or
as uncertainties are resolved or clarified, and the report explores policy processes that will help
jurisdictions in the region learn about uncertainties and adjust strategies in light of new
information.
Study Framework and Key Policy Considerations
This report looks at ways to reduce carbon emissions in San Diego’s regional energy system,
which is defined as the total production and consumption of energy in the electric power,
transportation, and buildings sectors, to align with State and national pathways to reach net
zero. By “net zero,” this report means that human-caused carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from
the energy system equal human-caused CO2 removal and storage and therefore do not

contribute net emissions to the atmosphere.ii The RDF Technical Analysis does not rely on
offsets outside the San Diego region to reach net zero targets. It is important to note that there
are emissions from other sectors, such as waste, that were not included in this analysis.
The RDF Technical Analysis’s decarbonization pathways were modeled from larger national
and State deep decarbonization scenarios to ensure that the San Diego regional pathways are
aligned with Statewide pathways to decarbonization. Evolved Energy Research (EER)
developed these regional models under five model cases (sometimes referred to as scenarios).iii
The models of deep decarbonization, which is the process of drastically reducing carbon dioxide
and other greenhouse gas emissions throughout the economy, allow for quantitative
comparative analyses of regional policy options and decarbonization outcomes in different
sectors. An example of EER’s modeling outputs for the energy sector show how the different
model cases will affect Statewide decarbonization in both the total installed electricity capacity
required (Figure 1) and the energy and industry CO2 emissions that occur through 2050 (Figure
2). Using these downscaled models is also important because local energy and transportation
systems are interconnected with other regions and states, so regional jurisdictions should move
in unison with other regional and state jurisdictions as they decarbonize.
Figure 1. Results for the total installed electricity capacity required in California to reach net zero Statewide
emissions by 2050 under five different model scenarios in the EER model. More information about the EER model,
downscaling, and model cases is available in Appendix A.
ii Note that the energy system modeling only considers CO2 emissions, where the natural climate solutions and
Climate Action Plan analyses consider other greenhouse gases as well, including methane, nitrous oxides, ozone,
etc. These GHGs are converted to their “carbon dioxide equivalent” (CO2e) for easier comparison.
iii More details on the model cases can be found in Chapter 1 and Appendix A.

Figure 2. Results for CO2 emissions from energy and industrial processes in California from the EER model. Colors
above the x-axis represent positive emissions, and colors below represent offsetting negative emissions. The black
line indicates net CO2 emissions. “Product and bunkered CO2“ is either CO2 that ends up sequestered in materials
(e.g., asphalt sequesters CO2 during its production) or CO2 reductions not counted in current inventories (e.g.,
interstate aviation emissions reductions are not included in a single state’s emis sions accounting, but intrastate
aviation is).
Experts in renewable energy production, transportation, and buildings modeled technically
feasible decarbonization pathways for the region to create a science-based roadmap of
regional decarbonization to net zero emissions by mid-century. These models focused on
proven, scalable technologies for decarbonizing the region’s largest GHG emitters (Figure 3)
that are within the jurisdiction of local governments and agencies. Thus, technologies that are
still in experimental or early phases were not included because they cannot immediately be
deployed at scale by regional authorities. Similarly, resource deployments in State and federal
waters were not included except to give context to the resource availability in the San Diego
region.

impacts of certain State and federal actions. Source: the SANDAG 2021 Regional Plan’s Appendix X, available here:

inventory-and-projections-for-the-san-diego-region.pdf?sfvrsn=8444fd65_2
Additionally, the RDF Technical Analysis highlights uncertainties in the decarbonization
process and the need for ongoing planning processes that can adapt as the technology and
policy landscapes evolve. For example, increased renewable energy availability from Imperial
County or Mexico may affect the San Diego region’s renewable energy mix, which could avoid
the need to build higher-cost renewable energy infrastructure locally. Similarly, State and/or
Federal development of offshore wind could reduce the need for land -based renewable
infrastructure development in the San Diego region. Therefore, the decision -making systems
developed from the RDF Technical Analysis’s findings should allow for continuous updating as
technology and policy landscapes change.
Key Policy Considerations
Successful decarbonization will require technical solutions as well as policy strategies that can
adapt with scientific advances as well as local political and economic conditions. The RDF
technical analysis provides the best assessment of least cost and most effective near-term
solutions for reducing emissions in each sector. These “low-regrets” actions will be robust
decarbonization actions in the near-term regardless of how uncertainty is resolved, but
whether they are the best pathways over the long term is still unknown. Effective learning and
policy adjustment requires that local actors – both leaders and people on the front-line – first
Item 4.1

DRAFT – NOT FOR CITATION
7
implement solutions and then engage in systematic and continuous review of results to drive
meaningful learning about what works and what doesn’t. The “best” solutions and pathways
can and should evolve over time as science and technology advance and as local actors learn
what is effective in the San Diego context.
The RDF Technical Analysis proposes region-wide institutional governance that can facilitate
continued collaboration and learning across jurisdictions.iv Organized into a Regional Steering
Committee, Sector Working Groups, and Front-Line Advisors, this structure would bring
together knowledgeable government officials, planning bodies, regulators, industry
stakeholders, experts, and front-line workers in each sector from across the region to test,
evaluate, and adjust solutions and goals. Such a structure is necessary because achieving the
big changes and rapid learning needed to address climate change is a collective action problem.
Individually, local jurisdictions and agencies in the San Diego region have a limited degree of
direct authority over the full suite of actions needed to decarbonize (though some m ay have
more indirect influence). Region-wide cooperation can increase their effectiveness through
clear, credible, and consistent policy signals, joint problem-solving and pooling of experience
about what does and does not work, and increased leverage and capacity from combined
resources. As discussed in Chapters 7 and 8, examples of regional cooperation could include
setting county-wide incentives to motivate action, collecting and tracking data, conducting
analyses, providing support to develop and implement policies, and convening stakeholders
and working groups to develop regional strategies and monitor progress. A formal mechanism,
such as a Regional Climate Action JPA, could facilitate such cooperation and, in doing so, help
scale strategic thinking and decision-making around decarbonization. Figure 4 outlines an
institutional process through which regional governance, informed by the technical solutions
proposed in the RDF and ongoing engagement with stakeholders, can drive meaningful learning
in each sector.
Within this institutional process, the RDF Technical Analysis also proposes two strategies for
engaging with actors and agencies outside the region to maximize impact within the region.
First, regional decarbonization leaders will need to engage continually with outside agencies,
especially at the state level, to influence policies that affect local efforts (e.g., renewable energy
regulations). Second, local leaders should take advantage of the county’s technology -focused
private sector and multiple university communities to establish the San Diego region as a test
bed for pilot and demonstration projects. While regional-scale investments in innovation alone
are not likely to have dramatic impacts on technological readiness across all sectors, local
testing and deployment of technologies developed outside the county can contribute to the
global effort to push the frontier of science on climate solutions. In addition to driving local

emissions reductions, external engagement is an opportunity to bring outside resources and
attention from State and federal policymakers to the region, with potential positive effects on
the local economy.
Figure 4. RDF Technical Analysis as part of an Integrated Decarbonization Framework and an institutional
structure. This structure could include regional governance bodies for the San Diego region and a conference of
governments, for example.
In sum, the RDF proposes institutionalizing a highly transparent, cooperative process for
eliciting new information about "what works" with deep decarbonization, comparing best
practices within the county, and engaging outside the region with policymakers, industry
stakeholders, and other experts contributing to the evolution of the national strategy. This is
important not just to maximize local emissions reductions, but also for San Diego to influence
State and federal climate policy and become an effective leader for other jurisdictions. Given
that the San Diego region makes up just 0.08% of global emissions, generating followership is
vital for the region to truly make an impact on mitigating climate change.

Decarbonizing Electricity
The RDF Technical Analysis identifies low-impact, high-quality, and technically feasible areas
for renewable energy infrastructure development in the San Diego region and neighboring
Imperial County. Electricity emissions accounted for approximately 20% of the 2016 Regional
Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory for the San Diego region and are the second largest
emissions source in the region (Figure 3). Decarbonizing electricity production will require
substantial deployment of new renewable resources. Siting renewable energy infrastructure
and facilities can have significant impacts on the environment and will require new and
upgraded transmission infrastructure.
The San Diego region has sufficient available land area for wind and solar generation to
approach a fully decarbonized energy system in line with the California-wide system model
under the least-cost scenario. However, meeting standards for reliability will require
significant, but uncertain, investments in a suite of additional resources, including excess
intermittent and flexible generation, storage, and demand-side management. The region can
produce the projected 2050 energy demand with local utility-scale onshore wind and solar
development. However, demand for energy may be higher or lower than the renewable energy
supply at a given time (for example at night or on cloudy days), so investments in additional
energy storage infrastructure are necessary to supply reliable renewable energy to the region.
However, the costs of these additional resources, such as batteries and pum ped storage
hydropower, are highly uncertain.
The RDF Technical Analysis creates multiple site-selection scenarios for renewable energy
infrastructure to inform decision-making. These scenarios include least-cost scenarios,
scenarios that include Imperial County (including its geothermal potential), scenarios with
different mixes of wind and solar resources (both distributed and utility scale), and
brownfield sites. The primary scenarios selected utility-scale renewable energy sites from
lowest to highest cost, while additional scenarios prioritize different policy goals such avoiding
high conservation value lands, lands with high monetary value, lands with high carbon
sequestration potential, and lands that were not already deemed developable. All scenarios
include infrastructure costs expressed as the levelized cost of energy (LCOE), which is a way to
compare costs across energy projects. The analysis includes the following renewable energy
development scenarios:v
1. Least-cost, high local capacity (San Diego county only) (Figure 5);
2. Least-cost, high transmission deliverability (San Diego and Imperial counties) (Figure 6);
v See sections 2.4.5 and 2.4.6 for descriptions of the data and methods for site and candidate project area
selection. See sections 2.5.1 and 2.5.2 for scenario results, discussion, and maps.

slated for redevelopment) (see Chapter 2, Section 2.5.2 for figure); and

nearby areas with transmission upgrades, nearby geothermal, rooftop solar, and
brownfield solar and brownfield wind) (Figure 8).

The midrange scenario utilizes a mix of proven, scalable technologies that are within the
jurisdictions of San Diego county, Imperial county, or regional entities to build in order to meet
regional demand both in the near-term (2025) and by mid-century (shown in Figure 8). The
technologies include brownfield infrastructure development (solar and wind infrastructure built
on currently or formerly contaminated sites); utility-scale solar and wind in both San Diego and
Imperial counties; rooftop and infill solar (where “infill solar” is defined as solar projects built in
dense, urban settings); and geothermal (which is a clean, firm power source).
Figure 8. CPA Scenario 7: Mid-range Scenario 2050. This figure shows sites selected to meet the 2050 electricity
demand under the mid-range scenario. In this scenario, the 2050 annual generation from new renewable sources
is as follows: 12% rooftop solar, 23% brownfield solar, 0.1% brownfield wind, 6% utility scale solar on developable
land in San Diego county, 0.4% utility scale wind on developable land in San Diego, 38% Imperial solar, 21%
Imperial geothermal. The addition of rooftop solar and brownfield resources together results in 35% reduction in
land area impacts. It meets regional energy demand but has a high average cost (average LCOE of $109/MWh)
partly because of the high costs of rooftop and brownfield development.
There are some commonalities across scenarios in the results, suggesting that these might be
“low-regret” renewable energy infrastructure options. These geospatial analyses have
demonstrated that rooftop and infill solar can bring co-benefits to communities, and, along
with brownfield development, these are low-regret strategies. Despite their relatively high
costs compared to utility-scale development, they have low impacts on the environment,
agriculture, and rural communities, and they have high job training opportunities near homes
and urban centers. Given the high commercial interest and the relative location near planned or

existing renewable sites, the models selected the JVR renewable area in most scenarios. This
area is favored by Statewide planning proceedings, including those by the California
Independent Systems Operator (CAISO) (which is California’s grid operator) and the California
Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) and may represent a low-regret scenario for utility-scale
build-out. All scenarios require careful consideration of environmental justice issues and a
deeper understanding of the effects that these energy developments will have on communities
of concern, low-income communities, and/or disadvantaged communities.
Significant solar and geothermal availability in Imperial Count y is a large potential resource
for San Diego that may require upgrades to the transmission network. As renewable energy
infrastructure is developed in neighboring areas - such as Imperial County, Mexico, or State
waters - the site selection scenarios will change in iterative energy supply and demand
analyses. Similarly, as new technologies and permitting make additional renewable energy
resources available (e.g., offshore wind, wave energy, etc.), the scenarios will need to be
updated to account for the energy supply from those novel resources. This framework is
flexible enough to account for additional renewable energy demand as it becomes available.
The region should coordinate with State agencies to ensure the reliability of the system. The
San Diego region is a part of a larger energy system network, so coordination across agencies
will be crucial to decision-making, planning, and implementation of renewable energy
infrastructure into the future. For example, there is a State-level Integrated Resource Plan (IRP)
proceeding at the CPUC. Load Serving Entities (LSEs) throughout the State are Parties to this
proceeding, and local LSEs, such as San Diego Gas and Electric (SDG&E) and Community Choice
Aggregators (CCAs), are required to submit their procurement plans on an annual basis. These
submittals help the State anticipate potential reliability issues, and they help the CAISO plan
transmission upgrades which may be needed to accommodate LSE plans and to meet climate
goals. To the extent that LSE plans include local distributed generation, rooftop solar,
community solar, equity-eligible contractor projects, or other specifications, this information
should be indicated in LSE submissions to the CPUC. Additionally, City Council members and
other government officials often serve on CCA boards and participate in procurement planning
and target setting. Board members can help ensure that LSE plans are implemented for
consistency with regional GHG reduction targets, as well as with State targets. This is especially
important where local targets are more ambitious than State targets. Beyond the IRP, there are
additional State agency proceedings which could benefit from input from local players (e.g., the
CPUC Resource Adequacy proceeding, CAISO Transmission Planning Process, and the CAISO
Local Capacity Requirements proceeding). In the Resource Adequacy proceeding, CPUC staff
conduct analyses to ensure the reliability of the electric power grid. In the Transmission
Planning Process, the CAISO conducts analyses to ensure reliability, policy compliance, and
cost-effectiveness of the planned transmission system upgrades. In the Local Capacity

Requirements proceeding, the CAISO takes a more local approach to reliability analysis than
other proceedings. For example, Section 3.3.10 of the CAISO 2022 Local Capacity Technical
Study is devoted to the San Diego-Imperial Valley region. Load Serving Entities such as SDG&E
and SDCP and CEA should coordinate on procurement, resource adequacy and other issues
addressed in these proceedings.
The State requires a fully decarbonized electricity system by 2045 and has requirements for
rooftop solar on certain new buildings. Nevertheless, there are additional opportunity areas
to decarbonize beyond the State goals. Electricity decarbonization is the most common CAP
measure analyzed and on average contributes more GHG reductions than any other measure.
Most CAPs include a measure to form or join a CCA program, but there are opportunities to
increase CCA participation and for CCAs to commit to 100% carbon-free energy prior to the
State 2045 deadline. Additionally, there are local opportunities to enhance or complement
State rooftop solar requirements by adopting reach codes (or local codes that go beyond State
requirements) and evaluating mandates or incentives for energy storage systems paired with
rooftop solar to decrease marginal emissions during the electric system’s peak GHG emission
and to increase reliability.
Additional work would be needed to make carbon-free electricity supply more accessible.
Historically, rooftop solar has been installed in higher-income neighborhoods and/or in areas
with higher levels of homeownership. Numerous options exist to address the inequitable
distribution of solar installations, including targeted incentives and financing. Additionally, CCA
programs can maximize participation in the Disadvantaged Communities Green Tariff Program,
subsidize customers in income-qualified discount programs to opt-up to 100% carbon-free
electricity service options, and support inclusive financing for energy upgrades.
Legal authority to regulate energy production:vi Jurisdictions in the San Diego region have the
authority to require levels of carbon-free electricity supply through CAPs and to procure
carbon-free electricity supplies through a CCA and can therefore supply more carbon-free
energy than required by State agencies. However, State and/or federal agencies or entities still
regulate local energy supplies for reliability, which complicates fully decarbonizing the
electricity supply with renewable energy. Additionally, local jurisdictions are also authorized to
support alternatively fueled thermal power plants and related infrastructure that can provide
low- or zero-emission electricity to meet reliability and air quality requirements (e.g., green
hydrogen production and/or power plants). Local jurisdictions are also authorized to increase
distributed generation through CCAs and reach codes, and to streamline permitting. Further

regulating most fossil-fueled thermal power plants emissions is limited given current State
regulation and uncertainty over federal preemption.
Decarbonizing Transportation
The transportation sector is the largest contributor to regional GHG emissions. In 2016, on-
road transportation emitted almost half of regional emissions. In 2035, emissions from on-road
transportation are projected to account for about 41% of the total projected emissions (Figure
3).vii Statewide legislation, executive orders, and agency targets have set goals for GHG
reductions in the transportation sector and the San Diego region has implemented several
measures to reduce regional transportation GHG emissions, which have included a variety of
vehicle miles traveled (VMT) reduction strategies and vehicle electrification strategie s.
The region has a strong policy foundation for reducing emissions related to transportation.
However, current commitments through CAPs and other policies are inconsistent with the
levels of reductions required by State executive orders for carbon neutral ity. Even the best
CAP commitments to reduce on-road transportation emissions through VMT reduction, EV
adoption, and fuel efficiency strategies, if applied to the whole region, are not projected to
achieve the State’s zero emissions goals.
Opportunity areas exist to accelerate EV adoption and VMT reduction based on existing
regional policies and patterns of vehicle ownership, travel behavior, and land use
development. These opportunity areas include CAP measures to reduce VMT and to reduce
vehicle emissions. Current policies and consumer, driver, and developer behaviors are already
increasing EV adoption and reducing VMT. However, there are additional opportunity areas to
accelerate regional transportation decarbonization. To reduce VMT, jurisdictions can enhance
transit and active transportation (biking and walking), and encourage smart growth, urban
connectivity, and density by changing zoning to promote mixed-use developments, and
disincentivizing parking.viii To reduce emissions, jurisdictions can identify areas for traffic
calming measures, establish anti-idling requirements (especially around schools), and provide
driver behavior incentives. Further, local jurisdictions have the opportunity to affect vehicle
retirement, which can be prioritized in communities of concern to rapidly reduce the air
pollution burden in those communities. Finally, local governments can increase use of
alternative, low-carbon fuels and EVs, particularly for medium-and heavy-duty vehicles, in
vii See Chapter 8, section 8.5 for a detailed analysis of CAP commitments as they relate to transportation. Note that
this value includes projected EV sales changes but does not include CAP measures.
viii Opportunities to increase density in in-fill areas have been identified in Chapter 3. More details on how to
reduce VMT are in Chapter 8.

existing and future fleets. Figure 9 shows a menu of policy opportunities to increase EV
adoption, illustrating policy options that range in both effectiveness (i.e., how good the policy is
at increasing EV adoption) and breadth (i.e., how many people it can reach).
Figure 9. A spectrum of policy options to accelerate EV adoption. Policies are likely to be more effective moving
right and are likely to have a broader application moving down. Thus, the bottom right is predicted to be the most
effective and to have the broadest application of the policy measure shown where the top left is predicted to be
the least effective and to have the narrowest application of the policy measures shown.
Multiple opportunities for regional collaboration and coordination exist. The nature of on-
road transportation and of existing institutional frameworks that coordinate transportation
decisions suggests that regional collaboration on transportation decarbonization will be more
effective than individual CAP measures. CCAs provide an example of a local mechanism, usually
through Joint Powers Agreements (JPAs), that can support transportation electrification by
developing programs to locally incentivize EV uptake beyond State and federal programs.
Similarly, other regional transportation decarbonization may be identified which can promote
local funds for transportation decarbonization. Additionally, local jurisdictions can collaborate
to assess the equity impacts of EV use versus increasing use of mass transit in various
communities, and to align regional transportation equity analyses (e.g., SANDAG’s equity
analyses) with CAP equity analyses (e.g., the City of San Diego’s equity analyses).

Legal authority to regulate transportation decarbonization:ix Local jurisdictions and agencies
in the San Diego region have broad authority over transportation, based both on locally derived
land use authority over planning and development and delegated authority from the State and
the federal governments. These authorities can be limited or preempted by State or federal
laws, as is the case with regulating fuels and tailpipe emissions. Additionally, local jurisdictions
can establish climate change policies and regulations to reduce GHGs from transportation in
general plans (GPs), CAPs, zoning, or transit-oriented development regulations. Further, they
can require infrastructure for fuel switching in buildings (e.g., EV charging equipment), build
supporting infrastructure in public right-of-ways or on public land, and support alternative fuel
production and infrastructure, such as hydrogen. Local jurisdictions can regulate their own
fleets through purchasing, maintaining, or changing their fleets. They also have the authority to
regulate indirect transportation emissions to keep local emissions in line with federal and State
air quality standards. State statutes and regulations create an opportunity to align local action
that decreases costs for implementation by bringing State fun ded projects to the region,
particularly in communities of concern, and deploying technology developed by State or federal
funding. Finally, jurisdictions appear to have more legal authority through land use,
transportation infrastructure siting, delegated authority, and taxation powers to reduce
transportation GHGs, than represented by commitments in CAPs. Additional work by local
jurisdictions would be needed to assess the limits of their authority to increase on -road
transportation GHG reductions.
Decarbonizing Buildings
The RDF Technical Analysis studies the building mix and associated emissions from the region’s
infrastructure and building sector. Direct emissions from buildings come from on-site fossil fuel
combustion and contribute to regional GHG emissions, so this chapter focuses on decarbonizing
buildings by eliminating their fossil fuel-based emissions by 2045. The analysis focuses on
electrifying systems that are responsible for end-use emissions, like space and water heating,
and using lower-carbon fuels, like biomethane and hydrogen, where electrification is not yet
feasible. The analysis considers three modeled pathways to reach a carbon-free building sector
by 2050: a pathway that emphasizes high electrification of fossil-fuel systems, a pathway where
heat pumps are highly efficient when electrified, and a pathway where low -carbon fuels are
used to reduce emissions while a slower adoption of electrification occurs.x
ixSee Chapter 8, section 8.5 “Decarbonize Transportation” and Appendix B for further discussion of legal authority.
x More details on the modeled pathways are available in Chapter 4, section 4.4 and elsewhere in the chapter.

Replacing fossil fuel-based space heating and water heating systems with electric systems
should be a primary policy focus for building emission reductions. Space heating and water
heating represent large shares of emissions from buildings in the San Diego region because they
tend to rely on natural gas (Figure 10), so replacing these systems, as well as other fossil fuel-
based systems like ovens and dryers, with electric versions will have large impacts on building
decarbonization. Space and water heating are especially conducive to electrification because
heat pump technologies available for both uses are more efficient than natural gas systems,
providing more heating per unit of energy input. For building temperature regulation, electric
heat pumps offer both heating and cooling from the same unit, making them ideal for homes
that do not yet have air conditioning. Water heaters produce the most emissions in buildings,
so replacing them with electrified versions will have outsized emissions reductions for the costs.
Finally, this analysis finds that costs do not differ substantially between new construction and
the addition of electric units and retrofitting old appliances. Thus, regional policies should
support increasing adoption of efficient heat pump -based space and water heating systems in
both new and existing buildings.
Additionally, policies aimed at replacing fossil-fuel based space and water heating systems
should focus on increasing uptake among low-income residents and rental building owners
through assistance. Such policies would address some historic inequities in housing quality,
environmental injustice, health disparities due to indoor air pollution, and/or utility costs and
would ensure that low-income residents and renters are not excluded from building
decarbonization goals and that they are not left paying increasingly higher gas rates.

There are several near-term actions that are low-regret for building decarbonization. First,
setting “electrification-ready” or “all-electric” standards for new construction and major
renovations through building energy codes will reduce costs associated with transitioning away
from fossil fuels. Second, some existing fossil fuel equipment systems will only turn over once
by 2050. Replacing end-of-life fossil fuel heating systems with electrified systems is low-hanging
fruit. This is a near-term priority. Third, improved data gathering is a low-cost, foundational
action for future policy development. More data on building emissions and decarbonization will
better inform decision makers as they craft policies to address the building sector’s
contributions to a net zero region.
Low-carbon gaseous fuels can be used for hard-to-electrify end uses, though research and
piloting are required. Some building systems are hard to electrify, so one way to reduce GHG
emissions from those systems is to use fuels that do not emit net GHGs into the atmosphere.
Similarly, such fuels can be used for these or other systems prior to electrifying them. Low-
carbon gaseous fuels could include biomethane and/or hydrogen. However, each of these
alternate fuels have cost and efficiency trade-offs as well as uncertainties, so more research
and piloting will be necessary before implementation.
The gas utility’s risk of not recovering its investment in assets (that is, its stranded cost risk)
can be mitigated by minimizing unnecessary extensions or replacements of the gas pipeline
system and by accelerating depreciation of existing utility assets. Phasing out end-use natural
gas consumption in buildings can lead to stranded natural gas assets, defined as infrastructure
such as a natural gas pipeline that has stopped being used before reaching the end of its useful
life. For companies like SDG&E, stranded assets represent potential financial losses because of
the high capital costs of creating or replacing gas infrastructure. Mitigating these stranded
assets will be an important policy consideration. One tool is to minimize unnecessary extension
or replacement of gas pipeline infrastructure. SDG&E invests in natural gas assets when it
extends pipes to serve new customers and when it replaces old or damaged pipes and other
assets. Policies like requiring all new construction to be fully electric would mitigate stranded
asset losses for new pipe investments going to new customers, but this would not mitigate
losses from investing in replacing aging infrastructure. Exploring and piloting non -pipeline
alternatives to both new and replacement infrastructure, including electrifying end uses instead
of replacing infrastructure, could identify opportunities to mitigate risk.
CAPs have relatively few measures to electrify buildings and the GHG impact of the measures
is relatively low, despite their importance to regional decarbonization. Only six CAPs include
measures related to building electrification and the GHG reductions in CAPs associated wi th
efficiency and electrification are relatively low. Compared to the level of electrification needed

in both new and existing buildings as outlined in Chapter 4, the CAP measures fall short of the
level of building decarbonization in the RDF Technical Analysis pathways.
Policies for decarbonizing new and existing buildings are crucial. 80% of the buildings that will
exist in 2050 already exist, so decarbonizing these buildings will be critical to decarbonizing the
building sector. While State building codes regulate alterations and additions to certain existing
buildings, local policies could further encourage or require energy efficiency and electrification
in many other existing buildings.xi Decarbonizing municipal buildings may be a low-regret policy
because implementing cost effective measures and electrifying those buildings may help reduce
operating costs and modeling these actions may encourage owners of homes and businesses to
act.
There is an opportunity and a need to assess social equity considerat ions of building
decarbonization policies. In the context of building decarbonization, there are several aspects
of equity to consider, including the high proportion of renters in communities of concern, the
relative lack of data and analysis related to equity and building-related policies, and potential
cost implications of building decarbonization policies, particularly electrification. Additional
work would be needed to develop the capacity and tools to understand and address the equity
implications of building and other decarbonization policies in the San Diego region.
Legal authority to regulate building decarbonization:xii Local jurisdictions have the authority to
regulate GHG emissions from building end-use of fossil fuels and other energy sources, which is
the primary means of decarbonizing buildings. Local jurisdictions also act with delegated
authority over the built environment to require more stringent energy codes, directly regulate
air pollution emissions from buildings, and procure alternate energy supplies in public buildings.
Additional authority may come from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) by setting
a more stringent threshold to determine environmental impact. Local governments are
preempted from establishing energy efficiency appliance standards, regulating natural gas
supply, transmission, and storage, and high global warming potential refrigerants (e.g., HFCs).
xi See Chapter 8, section 8.6, for more details on examples of local authorities decarbonizing existing buildings. Also
see Chapter7 section 7.3.1 for a local example.
xii See Chapter 8, section 8.6 “Decarbonize Buildings” and Appendix B for further discussion of legal authority.

Natural Climate Solutions
The RDF Technical Analysis investigates the natural climate solutions (NCSs) available in the San
Diego region and their potential to naturally sequester and store CO 2 and other GHGs. NCSs are
processes that protect or enhance natural and working lands’ (NWLs) ability to capture and
store GHGs from the atmosphere through plants and soils. “Working lands” include agricultural
lands like orchards, vineyards, pastures, etc. “Sequestration” is an annual measure of how
many GHGs are removed from the atmosphere and “storage” is the total amount of GHGs that
have been sequestered. Carbon storage in the region (Figure 11) is important because there are
ways to prevent stored carbon from being released into the atmosphere, as occurs when land
use changes from NWLs to urban areas, for example. By understanding a landscape’s carbon
storage and sequestration potential, areas with high levels of stored carbon can be prevented
from emitting their carbon into the atmosphere and areas with high sequestration potential
can be protected.
Figure 11. Total stored carbon (measure in metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent per hectare, or MT CO 2e ha-1)
estimates for the San Diego region. Warmer colors represent larger carbon stock estimates, cooler colors
represent lower stock estimates, and white represents no carbon stock.

Regional NWLs sequester and store large amounts of carbon dioxide, but they do not
sequester enough to account for human-caused emissions. NWLs can act as stronger net sinks
than they currently do, though this will require investments in bolstering NCSs and
minimizing carbon emissions from land and land use activities. To accurat ely account for net
carbon land use emissions, local data need to be collected and integrated into regional
carbon calculations. The region can expand annual carbon sequestration and long-term carbon
storage through investing in NCSs that both increase natural sequestration and that reduce
emissions from the land, such as investing in “carbon farming,” restoring and expanding “blue
carbon” habitats, planting trees and other plants in urban areas, preventing wildfires, and
planting trees in NWLs. Local data can improve NCS policies and management techniques and
thus increase regional sequestration.
The most effective and inexpensive NCS in the San Diego region is to avoid land use change
by protecting natural and working lands, except where land use change is required for other
decarbonization actions, like siting renewable energy infrastructure. Existing natural and
working lands are natural carbon sinks, so preventing these lands from changing into urban or
built-up areas will allow for 1) continued annual sequestration and 2) prevention of one-time
emissions from vegetation removal, soil disturbance, etc. This report estimates that natural
annual sequestration in NWLs may be up 2 million metric tons (MMT) of CO2 under ideal
circumstances and that there may be 58 MMT of CO2 stored in vegetation, woody debris, leaf
litter, and soils, some of which would be released with land use change. The annual
sequestration in NWLs is important to continue to build natural CO2 storage. Natural
sequestration was not included in the RDF technical analysis of emissions given the focus on the
energy system. Land use change will be necessary to install utility-scale renewable energy
infrastructure, which will support decarbonization, and to allow housing development. It will be
important to minimize land use change in the areas with the largest natural carbon stores and
with the highest sequestration potential and to protect areas with high co-benefits (such as
areas that provide air and water quality improvements, biodiversity protection, and public
health outcome improvements).
Other important regional NCSs considered by the RDF Technical Analysis may be less effective
and/or more expensive for carbon sequestration, although they yield important co -benefits.
These include carbon farming (farming practices that increase carbon sequestration and
storage and minimize GHG emissions on agricultural lands), wetland protection and
expansion/restoration, and urban forestry. Large-scale habitat restoration and reforestation,
which were not considered in this report, are expensive and may not be effective. Wildfire
prevention will also be important for emissions and numerous other economic and social
reasons. Other NCS options require significant capital investments and are likely to have sm aller
short-term sequestration returns than preservation.

NCSs offer quantifiable co-benefits beyond decarbonization. Each of the analyzed NCSs offer
numerous quantifiable co-benefits. These co-benefits include, but are not limited to, improved
air and water quality, improved public health outcomes, biodiversity protection, ecosystem
functioning protection, increased shading in urban areas, decreased water and fertilizer
requirements on farms and rangelands, improved aesthetics in urban areas, and the potential
to increase environmental justice. These co-benefits should be considered when crafting and
implementing policies in order to build ecological, economic, and social resilience.
Equity must be a central consideration for all NCS decisions. NCSs should be viewed through
the lens of both decarbonization and equity. Whenever possible, communities of concern
should be prioritized for urban greening, tree planting, climate farming, and habitat restoration
because these NCSs have outsized co-benefits of improving air and water quality as well as
human health. Historically, these communities have received less investment and have borne
disproportionate levels of environmental harm. All efforts should be made to actively address
these historic inequities.
The only quantified CAP measure relevant to this pathway is urban tree planting, but there
are opportunities to implement additional NCSs in a collaborative way. Additional measures
are possible under local land use authority. Tree planting measures contribute on average just
over 1% of local GHG reductions in CAPs. These can be enhanced through jurisdictional
collaboration. Additional NCS CAP measures are possible under existing authority and can
contribute to land conservation, preservation, and restoration on natural and working lands.
Private landowners and tribal governments can also preserve land, test and fund pilot proj ects
for carbon removal and storage and collaborate with public agencies. Collectively, there is an
opportunity to expand protections for natural and working lands to fulfill the new SB 27 (2021)
mandate that calls for the creation of natural and working l and carbon removal and storage
projects.
There are also opportunities to include local data in land management and planning as well
as in CAPs. For instance, CAPs can utilize the California Air Resource Board’s (CARB’s) carbon
accounting methodology in natural and working lands and universities’ data to create stronger
goals and measures. Additionally, the region can implement regular carbon accounting and
track changes in carbon in natural and working lands over time to understand how carbon
stocks are being preserved and whether net emissions occurred due to changes in land use.
Legal authority to regulate negative emissions from natural climate solutions and land use:xiii
It is unclear if local jurisdictions’ ability to use their authority over land use, z oning, land
preservation, and agricultural easements extends to activities on private natural and working
xiii See Chapter 8, section 8.8 “Natural Climate Solutions” and Appendix B for further discussion of legal authority.

land beyond land use designation that would affect GHG emissions or sequestration. The
region’s land use jurisdiction is further complicated because it is composed of federal, State,
tribal, and privately held land, submerged land, and waters. Various statutes and agencies
regulate the different land types, with none focused on GHG emissions or sequestration as it
relates to land use. State land use and regulating agencies also operate with a wide range of
statutory mandates, which apply to lands under multiple jurisdictions and impact GHG
emissions and accounting. California's statutes and executive orders require State land use
agencies to account for GHG emissions from natural and working lands. Additionally, these
State agencies are beginning to assess and regulate carbon removal and storage on these lands
with significant targets in 2030. An opportunity exists for local jurisdictions to work with
landowners and managers to achieve State, regional, and local goals related to natural and
working lands.
Employment Impacts of Decarbonization for the San Diego Region
The RDF Technical Analysis calculates the net change in jobs in the energy sector in resp onse
to the central case of the modeled decarbonization pathways from the EER model. The
analysis focuses on employment changes from 2021 -2030, following California’s Jobs and
Climate Action Plan for 2030, to inform workforce development strategies. Additi onally, this
report analyzes overall average annual job creation from 2020 -2050, based on the full timeline
in the EER model. For phasing out fossil fuels and modeling associated job losses, the analysis
focuses on the 2021-2030 period, where the central case of the EER model estimates modest
reductions in fossil fuel-based activities. This is primarily due to the model’s estimates of steady
natural gas consumption and a 20% decrease in oil consumption by 2030, relative to current
consumption levels. The RDF Technical Analysis focuses on the quantitative impacts to
employment as a result of deep decarbonization efforts in the energy, building, and
transportation sectors and informs a report by Inclusive Economicsxiv on workforce
development strategies.
Between 2021 – 2030, the regional decarbonization pathways would generate an average of
nearly 27,000 jobs per year in the San Diego region. Through the creation of direct, indirect,
and induced jobs, the RDF Technical Analysis estimates that the decarbonization pathways will
create 27,000 jobs per year for the region.xv Table 1 shows that expenditures on energy

demand will create approximately 13,500 jobs between 2021 and 2030. Table 2 shows that
expenditures on energy supply will create approximately 13,500 jobs between 2021 and 2030.
The RDF Technical Analysis estimates that no workers in the region’s fossil fuel -based
industries will have to experience job displacement before 2030, even with contractions in
fossil fuel demand. The energy supply mix in the EER model suggests that there will be small to
no changes in the consumption of fossil fuels before 2030.xvi This suggests that there will not be
job losses in the oil and gas sectors in the San Diego region prior to 2030.
San Diego County and local governments should begin now to develop a viable set of just
transition policies for the workers in the community who will experience job displacement
between 2031 – 2050. After 2030, the EER model’s central case estimates large contractions in
both oil and gas. The model predicts 95% contraction rates in oil and 75% in gas by 2050. It is
important for regional governments to begin to develop policies for a just transition for these
workers now so that they can transition into jobs of equivalent or better quality in the clean
energy economy or elsewhere.
The costs of a just transition will be much lower if the transition is able to proceed steadily
rather than through a series of episodes. Under a steady transition, the proportion of w orkers
who will retire voluntarily in any given year will be predictable, which will avoid the need to
provide support for a much larger share of workers at any given time. The rate of the
transition from fossil fuel to renewable energy-based jobs will impact the equity and fairness of
the transition. Sudden changes and contractions would potentially result in sudden job losses,
where steady changes and contractions would potentially result in fewer job losses as
employees could transition to new jobs or could voluntarily retire.
Geothermal production of the five sites identified in Imperial County would generate 1,900
jobs per year over a 10-year period. Chapter 2 identifies five areas for geothermal energy
production in Imperial County. This chapter’s analysis finds that there will be 1,900 jobs created
per year in the Southern California region over a 10-year period for the development and
operation of these five geothermal power plants. Some of these jobs may be created in the San
Diego region.

Local Policy Opportunityxvii
The RDF Technical Analysis assesses current GHG reduction commitments in Climate Action
Plans (CAPs) to determine if additional activity would be needed to put the region on a
trajectory to meet decarbonization goals. Additionally, it identifies opportunities for local
jurisdictions in the region to take further action to support the decarbonization pathways for
energy production, transportation, buildings, and natural climate solutions.
To do this, several novel analyses were conducted. First, it analyzes the authority of local
governments and agencies to influence and regulate GHG emissions and summarizes the
authority of key federal, State, and local agencies, and key legislation and regulation at the
federal and State levels to help to clarify the ability of local governments to act to reduce GHG
emissions.xviii Second, it reviews all CAPs in the region to determine how often a given measure
was included in CAPs, the relative GHG impacts of CAP commitments, and the integration of
social equity considerations.xix Third, it does a scenario analysis to estimate the total regional
GHG reductions that would result from all adopted and pending CAP s’ commitments. It then
estimates the potential GHG impact of a scenario that applies the best CAP commitments to all
jurisdictions.xx This scenario analysis takes the CAP commitment for a given CAP policy category
– say goals for planting trees in urban or rural areas – that will produce the single greatest
relative GHG reductions and then applies that commitment to every jurisdiction in the San
Diego region, regardless of current or planned commitments in that category. This may be
considered the upper limit of potential GHG reductions from current CAP commitments. Finally,
this chapter uses the results from these analyses, in addition to results from other research and
analyses, to identify opportunities for further local action and regional collaboration in each of
the four decarbonization pathways.xxi
Local jurisdictions have the authority to influence and regulate GHG emissio ns. Local
governments can influence and regulate GHG emissions by accelerating State statutory targets
and policies, adopting ordinances to go beyond State law, and using unique authority to adopt
and implement policies. Local authority comes from both con stitutionally derived power, which
is a broad authority to promote public health, safety, or the general welfare of the community,

and delegated authority from State statutes. The full extent of a local jurisdiction’s power to
regulate GHG emissions is unknown.xxii
Current CAP commitments are insufficient to reach decarbonization goals. Current local CAP
GHG reduction commitments for transportation, electricity, and buildings contribute a
relatively small portion of the total reductions needed to reach net zero GHG emissions in 2045
(Figure 12). Even if the most aggressive CAP measures are applied to all jurisdictions in the
region, significant emissions would remain, mostly from natural gas building end -uses and on-
road transportation (Figure 12).
Figure 12. This graph shows the projected GHG emissions in the San Diego region from electricity, natural gas, and
on-road transportation in each of the scenarios analyzed. The reference scenario, where there are no CAP
commitments, only shows reductions based on State and federal laws, mandates, actions, and goals. The Current
CAP Commitments scenario shows the remaining GHG emissions from a subset of total emissions if all current
CAPs were applied in full as written. The Best CAP Commitment Scenario shows the remaining GHG emissions if
the best CAP commitment from each policy category is applied to every jurisdiction in the region, regardless of
current CAP commitments. This graph shows that no analyzed scenario will allow the region to reach net zero
emissions by 2050. Note that these analyses assume no new State and federal laws, mandates, actions, and goals,
and that current ones do not change at any point in this period. Further, these analyses do not include all GHG
emissions for the region.

Opportunities exist for more jurisdictions to adopt additional CAP measures and strengthen
existing measures. Based on the comparative analysis of CAPs, there is an opportunity for more
jurisdictions to adopt CAP measures that are already adopted by some jurisdic tions in the
region. Similarly, based on the scenario analysis of the combined GHG impacts of CAP
measures, there is an opportunity for most jurisdictions to strengthen their existing CAP
measures, especially in the transportation and building sectors. The se sectors produce large
GHG emissions (Figure 13, right), but on average represent disproportionately low emissions
reductions in CAPs in 2035 (Figure 13, left).
Figure 13. This graph shows the average contribution of each decarbonization pathway to the total GHG reduction
from local CAP measures in 2035 (left) and the distribution of 2016 regional emissions by emission source (right). It
shows that emissions from transportation (blue, right side) account for nearly half of regional emissions, but on
average corresponding reductions from CAP commitments only represent slightly more than a quarter of local
GHG reductions in CAPs (blue, left side). Similarly, electricity accounts for about a quarter of regional emissions
(dark orange, right side) but associated reductions contribute on average just under half of GHG reductions from
CAP commitments. Note that because emissions associated with buildings come from both onsite natural gas
combustion and electricity production, the building decarbonization portio n of the bar is shaded to show both light
and dark orange to correspond with both natural gas buildings (light orange) and the electricity supply (dark
orange).
Additional work would be needed to integrate social equity into climate planning. Based on a
preliminary review, the integration of social equity in adopted and pending CAPs is limited,
inconsistent, and lacks specificity. Additional work would be needed to develop the capacity
and tools to understand and address the equity implications of all deca rbonization policies in
the San Diego region, including data collection and analysis; regional guidance documents; and
regional working groups to coordinate, advise, track, and monitor how equity is being
addressed in climate planning.

The San Diego Region as a Model
Although the San Diego region only accounts for 0.08% of global emissions, the
decarbonization efforts undertaken by the region can have a measurable impact on global
emissions by generating followership among others and sharing durable innovations that can
be expanded and replicated. San Diego should actively seek to make its efforts visible and
communicate lessons learned in national and international fora. The creation of the San Diego
Regional Decarbonization Framework can serve as a case study for other jurisdictions across the
U.S. and globally to learn from and adapt in their own long-term decarbonization planning
endeavors. In addition to showcasing this effort alongside various national and international
fora,xxiii the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN) is producing a Guidebook
that will serve as a toolkit for other municipalities, universities, and communities to follow the
process undertaken by the County of San Diego in their own decarbonization processes.
SDSN is working to share the RDF within three horizontal levels across its networks. SDSN will
share the RDF and its key findings in national meetings and fora in the United States,
international groups and consortiums, and the United Nations. For example, the pro ject was
presented during the Innovate4Cities Conference in October 2021 and the inputs of this event
will serve to inform the 2022 IPCC Sixth Assessment Report on impact, adaptation, and
vulnerability to global climate change. These global consortiums provide an opportunity to
showcase the results of this project and San Diego as a model to the world. With access to
these audiences, the RDF can help inform global roadmaps and pathways to net zero.
A Guidebook for Regional Decarbonization is being prepared for use by local jurisdictions to
aid in creating unique decarbonization frameworks. This Guidebook will provide background
information as well as specific steps and advice on logistics, methodology, stakeholder
engagement, long-term planning, and more. Although the resources within this Guidebook are
relevant and applicable to decarbonization framework project teams beyond the US,
frameworks being created in the context of emerging economies will likely use different
approaches, perspectives, and strategies in climate action planning. This Guidebook will be free
and available online at UC San Diego’s SDG Policy Initiative’s website
(http://sdgpolicyinitiative.org/guidebook/) as a way to facilitate the creation of regional
decarbonization frameworks and provide a practical roadmap for jurisdictions to work toward
net-zero goals.
xxiii Chapter 9 and Appendix C present extensive lists of US and global consortiums that San Diego Count y and other
jurisdictions with decarbonization frameworks can connect with, attend, and join the networks of in order to
disseminate their findings across different scales.

Resumen para formuladores de políticas
El consenso científico mundial es claro: el mundo está atravesando una crisis climática, y nuestra
posibilidad de reducir de manera significativa las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero (GEI) se está
agotando.i Las actividades y la influencia humanas han calentado la atmósfera, el océano y la tierra a
través de la rápida acumulación de GEI en la atmósfera y en el océano, y han causado cambios alarmantes
y veloces. Los acuerdos mundiales, como el Acuerdo Climático de París, y las ordenanzas de California
reconocen la necesidad inmediata de descarbonización en todas las industrias. En los sitios donde los
esfuerzos diplomáticos anteriores no han podido alcanzar un avance sobre el cambio climático, los
modelos regionales de solución de problemas que abarcan los compromisos a nivel mundial y las
necesidades locales pueden emerger como un enfoque más efectivo.
El análisis técnico del Marco Regional de Descarbonización de San Diego (RDF) ofrece alternativas
técnicas y políticas para lograr la descarbonización en el mediano plazo para colaborar con la
formulación de políticas de corto plazo de gobiernos regionales, del condado y de las ciudades. El
informe modela alternativas sobre la base de la ciencia para lograr cero emisiones de carbono netas para
la región en 2045, lo que coincide con el Acuerdo Climático de París y con los mandatos estatales. Las
alternativas brindan una visión compartida para la región de San Diego con el objetivo de lograr una
reducción colectiva de las emisiones de GEI netas, de manera de alcanzar el objetivo estatal de lograr cero
emisiones netas. Este informe es un análisis técnico de cómo los diferentes sectores en el sistema de
energía pueden contribuir a la descarbonización, pero no identifica la alternativa “correcta”. Muestra, en
cambio, múltiples maneras de destacar las ventajas, los beneficios, los puntos de decisión, los riesgos y las
sinergias. Este análisis siempre debe estar actualizado, a medida que las tecnologías evolucionen
o a medida que las incertidumbres se resuelvan o aclaren. El informe explora los procesos de
políticas que ayudarán a las jurisdicciones en la región a conocer las incertidumbres y adaptar las
estrategias a la luz de nueva información.
Marco de estudio y consideraciones de políticas clave
Este informe aborda las formas de reducir las emisiones de carbono en el sistema energético de San
Diego, que se define como la producción y el consumo totales de energía en los sectores de energía
eléctrica, el transporte y la construcción, para cumplir con los objetivos nacionales y estatales de lograr
cero emisiones netas. Cuando este informe menciona “cero emisiones netas”, se refiere a que las
emisiones de dióxido de carbono (CO₂) causadas por el humano a partir del sistema de energía equivalen a
la eliminación y el almacenamiento de CO₂ causados por el humano, por lo tanto, no contribuyen con las

emisiones netas a la atmósferaii. El análisis técnico del RDF no se vale de los resultados fuera de la región
de San Diego para alcanzar sus objetivos de cero emisiones netas. Es importante aclarar que hay
emisiones que provienen de otros sectores, como los desechos, que no se incluyeron en este análisis.
Figura 1. Resultados para el total de la capacidad de electricidad instalada requerida en California para alcanzar las cero
emisiones netas a nivel estatal en 2050, según cinco escenarios modelo diferentes en el modelo de EER. En el Anexo A se
encuentra disponible más información sobre el modelo de EER, las adaptaciones y los casos modelo.
Las alternativas de descarbonización del análisis técnic o del RDF se elaboraron a partir de situaciones
de descarbonización profunda estatales y nacionales de mayor tamaño, para garantizar que las
alternativas para la región de San Diego sean consistentes con las alternativas de descarbonización a
nivel estatal. Evolved Energy Research (EER) desarrolló estos modelos regionales según cinco casos
modelo (a los que se suele hacer referencia como “escenarios”)iii. Los modelos de descarbonización
profunda —la cual consiste en el proceso de reducir de manera drástica las emisiones de gases de efecto
invernadero y dióxido de carbono en todos los sectores industriales— permiten los análisis comparativos
cuantitativos de las opciones de políticas regionales y de los resultados de la descarbonización en
diferentes sectores. Un ejemplo de los aportes de los modelos de EER para el sector energético muestra
cómo los diferentes casos modelo afectan la descarbonización a nivel estatal en la capacidad de
electricidad instalada total necesaria (Figura 1) y las emisiones de CO₂ de la industria y la energía hasta
2050 (Figura 2). Usar estos modelos adaptados también es importante porque los sistemas de transporte
y de energía local están interconectados con otras regiones y otros estados, de manera que las
jurisdicciones regionales deben marchar al unísono de las actividades de descarbonización de otras
jurisdicciones estatales y regionales.
ii Tenga en cuenta que el modelado del sistema de energía solo considera las emisiones de CO₂ , y las soluciones climáticas
naturales y los análisis del Plan de Acción Climática también consideran otros gases de efecto invernadero, incluidos el
metano, los óxidos nitrosos, el ozono, y demás. Estos GEI se convierten a su “equivalente de dióxido de carbono” (CO2e) para
una comparación más sencilla.
iii En el Capítulo 1 y el Anexo A se encuentran más detalles sobre los casos modelo.

producción) o las reducciones de CO2 no contabilizadas en los inventarios actuales (p. ej., las reducciones de emisiones
provenientes de la aviación interestatal no están incluidas en la contabilización de las emisiones estatales individualizadas, pero
sí las de la aviación intraestatal).
Los expertos en la producción de energía renovable, el transporte y la construcción modelaron
alternativas de descarbonización factible en términos técnicos para que la región cree un mapa de
ruta con base en la ciencia de descarbonización regional para al canzar las cero emisiones netas
para mediados de siglo. Estos modelos se enfocaron en tecnologías probadas y escalables para
descarbonizar las emisiones de GEI más importantes de la región (Figura 3) que se encuentran dentro
de la jurisdicción de los gobiernos y las agencias locales. Por tanto, no se incluyeron las tecnologías
que aún se encuentran en las primeras etapas o en la fase experimental, porque las autoridades no
pueden implementarlas a escala con inmediatez. De igual manera, tampoco se incluyeron las
implementaciones de recursos en aguas federales y estatales, excepto para dar contexto a la
disponibilidad de recursos en la región de San Diego.

Además, el análisis técnico del RDF destaca las incertidumbres en el proceso de descarbonización y
la necesidad de procesos de planificación continuos que se puedan adaptar conforme a la evolución
de los escenarios políticos y tecnológicos. Por ejemplo, la disponibilidad de energía renovable del
Condado de Imperial o México puede afectar la combinación de energías renovables de la región de
San Diego, lo cual podría evitar tener que construir infraestructura de energía renovable local más
costosa. De igual manera, el desarrollo federal y estatal de vientos de alta mar podría reducir la
necesidad de desarrollar infraestructura renovable con base en tierra en la región de San Diego. Por
tanto, el desarrollo de sistemas de toma de decisiones a partir de los descubrimientos del análisis
técnico del RDF debe permitir la actualización continua conforme a los cambios de los escenarios
políticos y tecnológicos.
Consideraciones de políticas clave
La descarbonización exitosa requerirá soluciones técnicas y estrategias de políticas que puedan
adaptarse a los avances científicos y a las condiciones políticas y económicas locales. El análisis técnico
del RDF brinda el mejor asesoramiento sobre las soluciones de corto plazo más económicas y más
efectivas para reducir las emisiones en cada sector. Estas acciones de “bajo riesgo” serán acciones de
descarbonización sólidas en el corto plazo, independientemente de cómo se resuelvan las
incertidumbres, pero aún se desconoce si son las mejores alternativas a largo plazo. El ajuste de
políticas y el aprendizaje efectivo requieren que los actores locales, tanto los líderes como las personas
en primera línea, primero implementen las soluciones y luego participen de una revisión sistemática y

continua de los resultados para impulsar el aprendizaje significativo sobre lo que funciona y lo que
no funciona. Las “mejores” soluciones y alternativas pueden —y deben— evolucionar con el tiempo,
conforme al avance de la tecnología y de la ciencia, y a medida que los a ctores aprendan lo que es
efectivo en el contexto de San Diego.
El análisis técnico del RDF propone una gobernanza institucional para toda la región que pueda
facilitar la colaboración continua y el aprendizaje en todas las jurisdicciones iv. Compuesta por un
Comité Directivo Regional, Grupos de Trabajo de los Sectores y Asesores de primera línea, esta
estructura integra a funcionarios de gobierno reconocidos, organismos de planificación, entes
reguladores, partes interesadas de la industria, expertos y trabajadores de primera línea en cada sector y
de toda la región para probar, evaluar y ajustar soluciones y metas. Tal estructura es necesaria porque
lograr grandes cambios y un rápido aprendizaje necesario para abordar el cambio climático es un
problema de acción colectiva. Desde la perspectiva individual, las agencias y jurisdicciones locales en la
región de San Diego tienen un grado limitado de autoridad directa sobre todo el conjunto de acciones
necesarias para descarbonizar (aunque algunas pueden tener más influencia indirecta). La cooperación
de toda la región puede aumentar su efectividad a través de señales de políticas consistentes, claras y
confiables, de solución conjunta de problemas, una combinación de experiencias sobre lo que funciona y
lo que no funciona, un apalancamiento aumentado y una mayor capacidad de recursos combinados.
Como analizamos en los Capítulos 7 y 8, los ejemplos de cooperación regional pueden incluir la
implementación de incentivos en todo el condado para motivar acciones, recabar y rastrear datos, hacer
análisis, brindar apoyo para desarrollar e implementar políticas y reunir partes interesadas y grupos de
trabajo para desarrollar estrategias regionales y controlar los avances. Un mecanismo formal, como los
Acuerdos Conjuntos de Energía (Joint Power Agreements, JPA) de Acción Climática Regional, pueden
facilitar esa cooperación y, al hacerlo, pueden ayudar a escalar el pensamiento estratégico y la toma de
decisiones sobre la descarbonización. La Figura 4 describe un proceso institucional a través del cual el
gobierno regional, que cuenta con información sobre las soluciones técnicas propuestas en el RDF, y la
participación continua con las partes interesadas pueden promover el aprendizaje significativo en cada
sector.
Dentro de este proceso institucional, el análisis técnico del RDF también propone dos estrategias para
participar con actores y agencias fuera de la región y así maximizar el impacto dentro de la región. En
primer lugar, los líderes de descarbonización regionales necesitarán trabajar continuamente en conjunto
con agencias externas, sobre todo a nivel estatal, para influir en las políticas que afectan los esfuerzos
locales (p. ej., normas de energía renovable). En segundo lugar, los líderes locales deben aprovechar el
sector privado enfocado en la tecnología del condado y de las múltiples comunidades universitarias para
establecer a la región de San Diego como un banco de pruebas para proyectos piloto y de demostración.
Mientras que las inversiones solo en innovación a escala regional no tienen demasiadas posibilidades de
impactar drásticamente en la disponibilidad tecnológica en todos los sectores, las pruebas locales y el
desarrollo de tecnologías desarrolladas fuera del condado pueden contribuir al esfuerzo global de
desafiar los límites de la ciencia en cuanto a las soluciones climáticas. Además de impulsar la reducción

de emisiones locales, la participación externa es una oportunidad para incluir recursos externos y para
llamar la atención de formuladores de políticas estatales y federales en la región, con posibles efectos
positivos en la economía local.
Figura 4. El análisis técnico del RDF como parte de un Marco Integrado de Descarbonización y una estructura institucional.
Esta estructura podría incluir organismos gubernamentales regionales para la región de San Diego y una conferencia de
gobiernos, por ejemplo.
En resumen, el RDF propone la institucionalización de un proceso cooperativo y muy transparente
para obtener nueva información sobre “lo que funciona” con la descarbonización, al comparar las
mejores prácticas dentro del condado y participar fuera de la región con formuladores de políticas,
partes interesadas de la industria y otros expertos que contribuyen con la evolución de la estrategia
nacional. No solo es importante reducir al máximo las emisiones locales, sino también que San Diego
influya en las políticas climáticas federales y estatales y se convierta en un líder efectivo para otras
jurisdicciones. Dado que la región de San Diego representa solo el 0,08 % de las emisiones de todo el
mundo, es de vital importancia generar un grupo de seguidores para que la región logre un impacto
verdadero en la mitigación del cambio climático.

Descarbonización de la electricidad
El análisis técnico del RDF identifica las áreas de bajo impacto, de alta calidad y factibles en tér minos
técnicos para el desarrollo de infraestructura de energía renovable en la región de San Diego y en el
Condado de Imperial vecino. Las emisiones de electricidad representaron aproximadamente el 20 %
del Inventario de Emisiones de Gases de Efecto Invernadero para la región de San Diego en 2016 y son
la segunda fuente de emisiones más importante de la región (Figura 3). Descarbonizar la producción
de electricidad requerirá la implementación sustancial de nuevos recursos renovables. Establecer
instalaciones e infraestructura de energía renovable puede tener un impacto significativo sobre el
medioambiente y requerirá infraestructura de transmisión nueva y mejorada.
La región de San Diego tiene suficientes tierras disponibles para la generación de energía so lar y eólica
para lograr un sistema de energía totalmente descarbonizado, en línea con el modelo del sistema
aplicado en todo California en el escenario más económico. No obstante, cumplir con las normas de
confiabilidad requerirá inversiones importantes p ero inciertas, dentro de un conjunto de recursos
adicionales que incluye la gestión según la demanda, el almacenamiento y la generación flexible e
intermitente excedente. La región puede producir la demanda de energía proyectada para 2050 con el
desarrollo de fuentes de energía solar y eólica en tierra a escala local. Sin embargo, la demanda de
energía puede ser mayor o menor que el suministro de energía renovable en un momento determinado
(por ejemplo, por la noche o en días nublados). Por lo tanto, son necesarias las inversiones en otras
infraestructuras de almacenamiento de energía para proveer a la región de energía renovable confiable.
No obstante, los costos de estos recursos adicionales, como energía hidroeléctrica de almacenamiento
por bombeo y baterías, son muy inciertos.
El análisis técnico del RDF crea múltiples escenarios de selección de sitios para infraestructura de
energía renovable para tomar decisiones informadas. Estos escenarios incluyen aquellos con los
costos más bajos, aquellos que incluyen al Condado de Imperi al (con su potencial geotermal),
aquellos con diferentes combinaciones de fuentes de energía solar y eólica (distribuidas y a escala
de servicio público) y los sitios en zonas abandonadas. Los escenarios principales seleccionaron sitios
de energía renovable a escala de servicio público, desde los costos más bajos hasta los más altos,
mientras que los demás escenarios priorizaron las diferentes metas de políticas que intentan, por
ejemplo, evitar las tierras de alto valor de conservación, tierras de alto val or monetario, tierras con
alto potencial de captura de carbono y tierras que aún no se consideran desarrollables. Todos los
escenarios incluyen costos de infraestructura expresados como el costo de energía nivelado (levelized
cost of energy, LCOE), que refiere a un modo de comparar los costos de los proyectos de energía. Este
análisis incluye los siguientes escenarios de desarrollo de energía renovable:v
1. Costos más bajos, alta capacidad local (solo en el condado de San Diego). (Figura 5).
2. Costos más bajos, alta entrega de transmisión (condados de San Diego y de Imperial). (Figura 6).

4. Menos pérdidas de tierras con alto valor monetario (evita tierras de alto valor monetario).
(Ver Capítulo 2, Sección 2.5.2 para ver la figura).
5. Menos pérdidas de tierras que, naturalmente, capturan altos niveles de carbono (evita las
tierras con potencial natural de captura de carbono). (Ver Capítulo 2, Sección 2.5.2 para ver la
figura).
6. Desarrollo maximizado de áreas desarrollables (incluye tierras vacías o asignadas para su
redesarrollo). (Ver Capítulo 2, Sección 2.5.2 para ver la figura).
7. Escenario de rango medio (incluye una combinación de áreas desarrollables en la región
y en áreas vecinas con mejoras de transmisión, energía geotermal, energía solar para
tejados y energía solar y eólica en zonas abandonadas). (Figura 8).
Figura 5. Escenario de CPA 1: solamente en la región de San Diego. Este análisis selecciona fuentes de energía solar y eólica en
tierra a escala de servicio público desde los costos más bajos hasta los más altos para satisfacer la demanda de energía
proyectada. Los tres paneles muestran la cantidad acumulada requerida cada año que le podría permitir a la región alcanzar la
descarbonización total de la energía para 2050. Los colores más claros representan las áreas candidatas para el proyecto
(Candidate Project Areas, CPA) que se acumularían antes porque son más económicas. Los colores azules representan los
recursos de energía eólica, y los colores anaranjados y rojos representan los recursos de energía solar. Este escenario tiene un
LCOE promedio de 40,65 USD por megavatio hora (MWh).

El escenario de rango medio utiliza una combinación de tecnologías probadas y escalables que se
encuentran dentro de las jurisdicciones del condado de San Diego, del condado de Imperial o de otras
entidades regionales, con el fin de satisfacer la demanda tanto en el corto plazo (año 2025) y para la
mitad de siglo (se muestra en la Figura 8). Estas tecnologías incluyen el desarrollo de infraestructura de
áreas abandonadas (infraestructura de energía solar o eólica construida sobre sitios que antes estaban
contaminados); energía eólica y solar a escala de servicio público en los condados de San Diego e
Imperial; energía solar en tejados o de relleno (“energía solar de relleno” hace referencia a los proyectos
de energía solar construidos en entornos urbanos de alta densidad demográfica) y energía geotermal
(una fuente de energía estable y limpia).
Figura 8. Escenario de CPA 7: escenario de rango medio en 2050. Esta figura muestra los sitios seleccionados para satisfacer la
demanda de electricidad en 2050 en un escenario de rango medio. En este escenario, en 2050, la generación de energía anual
proveniente de fuentes de energía renovable nuevas será como se detalla a continuación: 12 % de energía solar en tejados;
23 % de energía solar en áreas abandonadas; 0,1 % de energía eólica en áreas abandonadas; 6 % de energía solar a escala de
servicio público en tierras desarrollables del condado de San Diego; 0,4 % de energía eólica a escala de servicio público en
tierras desarrollables del condado de San Diego; 38 % de energía solar en el condado de Imperial y 21 % de energía geotermal
en el condado de Imperial. La suma de las fuentes de energía solar en tejados y en áreas abandonadas resulta en la reducción
del 35 % del impacto en las tierras. Satisface la demanda regional de energía, pero tiene costos promedio altos (LCOE promedio
de 109 USD por MWh) en parte, por los altos costos del desarrollo de generación de energía en tejados y en áreas abandonadas.
Existen algunas semejanzas en los resultados de todos los escenarios, lo que sugiere que estas pueden
ser opciones de infraestructura de energía renovable de “bajo ri esgo”. Estos análisis geoespaciales
demostraron que la energía solar en tejados y de relleno pueden ofrecer beneficios a las comunidades y,
junto con el desarrollo de las áreas abandonadas, son estrategias de bajo riesgo. A pesar de los costos
relativamente altos en comparación con el desarrollo a escala de servicio público, tienen un bajo
impacto sobre el medioambiente, la agricultura y las comunidades rurales, y suponen grandes
oportunidades de formación laboral cerca de zonas residenciales y centros urbanos. Dado el alto interés
comercial y la ubicación relativamente cercana a los sitios de energía renovable planificada o existentes,

los modelos seleccionaron el área de energía renovable de JVR en la mayoría de los escenarios. Esta
área se ve favorecida por los procedimientos de planificación para todo el estado, incluidos los del
Operador de Sistemas Independientes de California (California Independent Systems Operator, CAISO)
y la Comisión de Servicios Públicos de California (California Public Utilities Commission, CPUC), y
pueden representar un escenario de bajo riesgo para la acumulación a escala de servicio público. Todos
los escenarios requieren una consideración a conciencia sobre los asuntos de justicia ambiental y un
conocimiento más profundo de los efectos que tendrán estos desarrollos de energía sobre las
comunidades en cuestión, las comunidades de bajos ingresos o las comunidades vulnerables.
La disponibilidad de energía geotermal o solar significativa en el condado de Imperial es una fuente
con un gran potencial para San Diego que puede requerir mejoras en la red de transmisión. Debido a
que la infraestructura de energía renovable se desarrolla en las áreas contiguas, como el condado de
Imperial, México o las aguas estatales, los escenarios de selección de sitios cambiarán en los análisis
de demanda y suministro de energía iterativa. De igual manera, a medida que las nuevas tecnologías
y los permisos pongan a disposición recursos energéticos renovables adicionales (por ejemplo, energía
eólica marítima, energía de las olas, etc.), será necesario actualizar los escenarios para tener en cuenta
el suministro de energía de esos nuevos recursos. Este marco es lo suficientemente flexible como para
dar cuenta de la demanda adicional de energía renovable a medida que esté disponible.
La región debe articular con las agencias del Estado para garantizar la confiabilidad del sistema. La
región de San Diego es parte de una red de sistemas de energía más grande, por lo que la articulación
entre las agencias será crucial para la toma de decisiones, la planificación y la implementación de la
infraestructura de energía renovable en el futuro. Por ejemplo, existe un Plan de Recursos Integrados
(IRP) a nivel estatal en proceso en la CPUC. Las entidades proveedoras de carga (LSE) de todo el estado
son parte de este procedimiento, y las LSE locales, como San Diego Gas and Electric (SDG&E) y
Community Choice Aggregators (CCA), deben presentar sus planes de adquisiciones anualmente. Estas
presentaciones ayudan al estado a anticipar posibles problemas de confiabilidad y ayudan a CAISO a
planificar las actualizaciones de transmisión que pueden ser necesarias para adaptarse a los planes de
LSE y cumplir con los objetivos climáticos. Esta información se debe indicar en las presentaciones de la
LSE a la CPUC en la medida en que los planes de la LSE incluyan la generación distribuida local, la
energía solar en tejados, la energía solar comunitaria, los proyectos de contratistas elegibles para
acciones u otras especificaciones. Además, los miembros del Concejo Municipal y otros funcionarios
gubernamentales a menudo prestan servicio en las juntas de CCA y participan en la planificación de
adquisiciones y el establecimiento de objetivos. Los miembros de la junta pueden ayudar a garantizar
que los planes de LSE se implementen de manera consistente con los objetivos regionales de reducción
de GEI, así como con los objetivos estatales. Esto es especialmente importante cuando los objetivos
locales son más ambiciosos que los estatales. Más allá del IRP, existen procedimientos de agencias
estatales adicionales que podrían beneficiarse de los aportes de los actores locales (por ejemplo, el
procedimiento de adecuación de recursos de la CPUC, el proceso de planificación de transmisión de
CAISO y el procedimiento de requisitos de capacidad local de CAISO). En el procedimiento de
adecuación de recursos, el personal de la CPUC realiza algunos análisis para garantizar la confiabilidad
de la red eléctrica. En el proceso de planificación de transmisión, CAISO realiza algunos análisis para
garantizar la confiabilidad, el cumplimiento de la política y la rentabilidad de las mejoras planificadas del
sistema de transmisión. En el procedimiento de requisitos de capacidad local, CAISO adopta un enfoque
Item 4.1

14
más local que otros procedimientos para el análisis de confiabilidad. Por ejemplo, la Sección 3.3.10 del
Estudio técnico de capacidad local CAISO 2022 está dedicada a la región de San Diego-Imperial Valley.
Las entidades proveedoras de carga, como SDG&E, SDCP y CEA, deben coordinar las adquisiciones, la
adecuación de los recursos y otros temas abordados en estos procedimientos.
El estado requiere un sistema eléctrico completamente descarbonizado para 2045 y tiene requisitos
de energía solar en tejados en ciertos edificios nuevos. Sin embargo, existen áreas de oportunidad
adicionales para descarbonizar más allá de las metas estatales. La descarbonización de la electricidad
es la medida más común y más analizada del CAP y, en promedio, contribuye a más reducciones de GEI
que cualquier otra medida. La mayoría de los CAP incluyen una medida para formar o unirse a un
programa CCA, pero existen oportunidades para aumentar la participación de CCA y para que los CCA
se comprometan con una energía 100 % libre de carbono antes de la fecha límite estatal de 2045.
Además, existen oportunidades locales para mejorar o complementar los requisitos estatales de
energía solar en tejados mediante la adopción de códigos de alcance (o códigos locales que van más
allá de los requisitos estatales) y la evaluación de mandatos o incentivos para sistemas de
almacenamiento de energía combinados con energía solar en tejados para reducir las emisiones marginales
durante el pico de emisión de GEI del sistema eléctrico y aumentar la confiabilidad.
Se necesitaría trabajo adicional para hacer que el suministro de electricidad libre de carbono sea más
accesible. Históricamente, la energía solar en tejados se instaló en vecindarios de mayores ingresos o
en áreas con mayores niveles de propiedades. Existen numerosas opciones para abordar la distribución
desigual de las instalaciones solares, incluidos los incentivos y la financiación específicos. Además, los
programas de CCA pueden maximizar la participación en el programa de tarifas ecológicas para
comunidades desfavorecidas, subsidiar a los clientes en programas de descuento calificados por
ingresos para optar por opciones de servicio de electricidad 100 % libre de carbono y apoyar el
financiamiento inclusivo para actualizaciones de energía.
Autoridad legal para regular la producción de energía:vi Las jurisdicciones en la región de San Diego
tienen la autoridad para exigir niveles de suministro de electricidad libre de carbono a través de un CAP
y para adquirir suministros de electricidad libre de carbono a través de un CAP. Por lo tanto, pueden
suministrar más energía libre de carbono de la requerida por las agencias del estado. Sin embargo, las
agencias o entidades estatales o federales todavía regulan los suministros de energía locales para
garantizar su confiabilidad, lo que complica la descarbonización total del suministro eléctrico con
energía renovable. Además, las jurisdicciones locales también están autorizadas para respaldar plantas
de energía térmica de combustible alternativo e infraestructura relacionada que puedan proporcionar
electricidad de baja o cero emisiones para cumplir con los requisitos de confiabilidad y calidad del aire
(por ejemplo, producción de hidrógeno verde o plantas de energía). Las jurisdicciones locales también
están autorizadas para aumentar la generación distribuida a través de CCA y códigos de alcance, y para
simplificar los permisos. La regulación adicional de la mayoría de las emisiones de las centrales
térmicas de combustibles fósiles es limitada dada la regulación estatal actual y la incertidumbre sobre
la prioridad federal.

Descarbonización del transporte
El sector del transporte es el mayor contribuyente a las emisiones regionales de GEI. En 2016, el
transporte terrestre emitió casi la mitad de las emisiones regionales. En 2035, se prevé que las
emisiones del transporte terrestre representen aproximadamente el 41 % del total de las emisiones
proyectadas (Figura 3).vii La legislación a nivel estatal, los decretos ejecutivos y los objetivos de las
agencias establecieron metas para la reducción de GEI en el sector del transporte, y la región de San
Diego implementó varias medidas para reducir las emisiones de GEI del transporte regional que
incluyeron una variedad de estrategias de reducción de millas vehiculares recorridas (MVR) y
estrategias de electrificación de vehículos.
La región tiene una sólida base política para reducir las emisiones relacionadas con el transporte.
Sin embargo, los compromisos actuales a través de los CAP y otras políticas no son coherentes con
los niveles de reducción requeridos por los decretos ejecutivos estatales para la neutralidad de
carbono. Incluso los mejores compromisos del CAP para reducir las emisiones del transporte
terrestre a través de la reducción de MVR, la adopción de VE y las estrategias de eficiencia de
combustible, si se aplican a toda la región, no se prevé que alcancen las metas de cero emisiones del
estado.
Existen áreas de oportunidad para acelerar la adopción de VE y la reducción de MVR en función de
las políticas y los patrones regionales existentes de propiedad de vehículos, el comportamiento de
viaje y el desarrollo del uso del suelo. Estas áreas de oportunidad incluyen medidas de CAP para
reducir las MVR y las emisiones de los vehículos. Las políticas actuales y los comportamientos de los
consumidores, conductores y desarrolladores ya están aumentando la adopción de VE y reduciendo las
MVR. Sin embargo, existen áreas de oportunidad adicionales para acelerar la descarbonización del
transporte regional. Para reducir las MVR, las jurisdicciones pueden mejorar el tránsito y el transporte
activo (uso de bicicleta y caminar) y fomentar el crecimiento inteligente, la conectividad urbana y la
densidad al cambiar la zonificación para promover desarrollos de uso mixto y desincentivar el
estacionamiento.viii Para reducir las emisiones, las jurisdicciones pueden identificar áreas para las
medidas de reducción del tráfico, establecer requisitos de prohibición de dejar en marcha el motor con
el vehículo parado (especialmente alrededor de las escuelas) y proporcionar incentivos para el
comportamiento de los conductores. Además, las jurisdicciones locales tienen la oportunidad de
modificar el retiro de vehículos, lo que puede priorizarse en las comunidades de interés para reducir
rápidamente la carga de contaminación del aire en esas comunidades. Finalmente, los gobiernos
locales pueden aumentar el uso de vehículos eléctricos y combustibles alternativos bajos en carbono,
particularmente para vehículos medianos y pesados, en flotas existentes y futuras. La Figura 9 muestra
un menú de oportunidades de políticas para aumentar la adopción de VE, con opciones de políticas que
varían tanto en efectividad (es decir, qué tan buena es la política para aumentar la adopción de VE)
como en amplitud (es decir, a cuántas personas puede llegar).
vii Ver el Capítulo 8, sección 8.5 para consultar un análisis detallado de los compromisos del CAP en relación con el transporte.
Tenga en cuenta que este valor incluye los cambios en las ventas de VE proyectados, pero no incluye las medidas de CAP.
viii Las oportunidades para aumentar la densidad en las áreas de relleno se identificaron en el Capítulo 3. Se encuentran
más detalles sobre cómo reducir las MVR en el Capítulo 8.

Figura 9. Una variedad de opciones de políticas para acelerar la adopción de VE. Es probable que las políticas sean más
efectivas hacia la derecha y que tengan una aplicación más amplia hacia abajo. Por lo tanto, se predice que la parte inferior
derecha será la más efectiva y tendrá la aplicación más amplia de la medida que se muestra, mientras que la parte superior
izquierda será la menos efectiva y tendrá la aplicación más limitada de las medidas que se muestran.
Existen muchas oportunidades de colaboración y de articulación regional. La naturaleza del transporte
terrestre y de los marcos institucionales existentes que coordinan las decisiones de transporte sugiere
que la colaboración regional en la descarbonización del transporte será más efectiva que las medidas
CAP individuales. Los CCA son un ejemplo de un mecanismo local, generalmente a través de los
Acuerdos de poderes conjuntos (JPA), que pueden apoyar la electrificación del transporte mediante el
desarrollo de programas para incentivar localmente la adopción de VE más allá de los programas
estatales y federales. De igual manera, se puede identificar otra descarbonización del transporte
regional que puede promover fondos locales para la descarbonización del transporte. Además, las
jurisdicciones locales pueden colaborar para evaluar los impactos de equidad del uso de VE frente al
aumento del uso del transporte público en varias comunidades, y para alinear los análisis de equidad de
transporte regional (por ejemplo, los análisis de equidad de SANDAG) con los análisis de equidad de
CAP (por ejemplo, los análisis de equidad de la ciudad de San Diego).

Autoridad legal para regular la descarbonización del transporte:ix Las jurisdicciones y agencias locales
en la región de San Diego tienen amplia autoridad sobre el transporte, basada tanto en la autoridad de
uso del suelo derivada localmente sobre la planificación y el desarrollo como en la autoridad delegada
del estado y los gobiernos federales. Estas autoridades pueden ser limitadas o anuladas por las leyes
estatales o federales, como es el caso de la regulación de los combustibles y las emisiones de los tubos
de escape. Además, las jurisdicciones locales pueden establecer políticas y regulaciones de cambio
climático para reducir los GEI del transporte en planes generales (GP), CAP, zonificación o regulaciones
de desarrollo orientadas al tránsito. Además, pueden requerir infraestructura para el cambio de
combustible en edificios (por ejemplo, equipos de carga de VE), construir infraestructura de apoyo en
derechos de paso públicos o en terrenos públicos, y apoyar la producción e infraestructura de
combustibles alternativos como el hidrógeno. Las jurisdicciones locales pueden regular sus propias
flotas mediante la compra, el mantenimiento o el cambio de sus flotas. También tienen la autoridad de
regular las emisiones indirectas del transporte para mantener las emisiones locales en línea con los
estándares de calidad del aire federales y estatales. Los estatutos y reglamentos estatales crean una
oportunidad para alinear la acción local que reduce los costos de implementación al traer proyectos
financiados por el estado a la región, particularmente en las comunidades de interés, y al implementar
tecnología desarrollada por fondos estatales o federales. Por último, las jurisdicciones parecen tener
más autoridad legal a través del uso del suelo, la ubicación de la infraestructura de transporte, la
autoridad delegada y los poderes fiscales para reducir los GEI del transporte que la representada por los
compromisos en los CAP. Se necesitaría trabajo adicional por parte de las jurisdicciones locales para
evaluar los límites de su autoridad y aumentar las reducciones de GEI del transporte terrestre.
Descarbonización de edificios
El análisis técnico del RDF estudia el conjunto de edificios y de emisiones asociadas a ellos del sector de
la infraestructura y la construcción de la región. Las emisiones directas de los edificios provienen de la
combustión de combustibles fósiles en el lugar y contribuyen a las emisiones regionales de GEI, por lo
que este capítulo se centra en la descarbonización de los edificios mediante la eliminación de sus
emisiones de combustibles fósiles para 2045. El análisis se centra en la electrificación de los sistemas
que son responsables de las emisiones por uso final, como el calentamiento de espacios y agua, y el uso
de combustibles bajos en carbono, como el biometano y el hidrógeno, en los que la electrificación aún
no es factible. El análisis considera tres modelos para alcanzar un sector de la construcción libre de
carbono para 2050: un modelo que enfatiza la alta electrificación de los sistemas de combustibles
fósiles, un modelo en el que las bombas de calor son altamente eficientes cuando están electrificadas y
un modelo en el que se utilizan combustibles bajos en carbono para reducir las emisiones mientras se
produce una adopción más lenta de la electrificación.x

Reemplazar los sistemas de calentamiento de agua y calefacción de espacios basados en combustibles
fósiles con sistemas eléctricos debe ser un enfoque principal de la política para la reducción de
emisiones en los edificios. La calefacción de espacios y el calentamiento de agua representan una gran
parte de las emisiones de los edificios en la región de San Diego porque tienden a depender del gas
natural (Figura 10). Por esta razón, reemplazar estos sistemas, así como otros sistemas basados en
combustibles fósiles como hornos y secadoras, con las versiones eléctricas tendrá un gran impacto en la
descarbonización de los edificios. En particular, el calentamiento de espacios y agua son propicios para
la electrificación porque las tecnologías de bombas de calor disponibles para ambos usos son más
eficientes que los sistemas de gas natural, y proporcionan más calefacción por unidad de aportación de
energía. Para la regulación de la temperatura de edificios, las bombas de calor eléctricas ofrecen
calefacción y refrigeración desde la misma unidad, lo que las hace ideales para hogares que aún no
tienen aire acondicionado. Los calentadores de agua producen la mayor cantidad de emisiones en los
edificios, por lo que reemplazarlos con versiones electrificadas provocará reducciones de emisiones
descomunales por los costos. Por último, este análisis concluye que los costos no difieren en gran
medida entre la construcción nueva y la adición de unidades eléctricas y el reacondicionamiento de
electrodomésticos viejos. Por lo tanto, las políticas regionales deben apoyar la creciente adopción de
sistemas eficientes de calentamiento de agua y espacios con bombas de calor, tanto en edificios nuevos
como existentes.
Además, las políticas destinadas a reemplazar los sistemas de calentamiento de agua y espacio con
combustibles fósiles deben centrarse en aumentar la aceptación entre los residentes de bajos
ingresos y los propietarios de edificios de alquiler a través de la asistencia. Tales políticas abordarían
algunas desigualdades históricas en la calidad de la vivienda, la injusticia ambiental, las disparidades de
salud debido a la contaminación del aire interior o los costos de los servicios públicos y garantizarían
que los residentes e inquilinos de bajos ingresos no queden excluidos de los objetivos de
descarbonización de edificios y que no sigan pagando tarifas de gas cada vez más altas.

Existen varias acciones a corto plazo que son relativamente beneficiosas para la descarbonización de
edificios. En primer lugar, establecer estándares “listos para la electrificación” o “totalmente eléctricos”
para construcciones nuevas y renovaciones importantes a través de códigos de energía para edificios
reducirá los costos asociados con la transición de los combustibles fósiles. En segundo lugar, algunos
sistemas de equipos de combustibles fósiles existentes solo funcionarán una vez para 2050. El
reemplazo de los sistemas de calefacción de combustibles fósiles al final de su vida útil con sistemas
electrificados es una opción al alcance de la mano. Esta es una prioridad a corto plazo. En tercer lugar, la
recopilación mejorada de datos es una acción fundamental de bajo costo para el desarrollo de políticas
futuras. Más datos sobre las emisiones de los edificios y la descarbonización informarán mejor a los
encargados de tomar las decisiones a medida que elaboran políticas para abordar las contribuciones del
sector de la construcción a una región de cero emisiones netas.
Los combustibles gaseosos bajos en carbono se pueden utilizar para usos finales difíciles de
electrificar, aunque se requiere investigación y pruebas piloto. Algunos sistemas de construcción son
difíciles de electrificar, por lo que una forma de reducir las emisiones de GEI de esos sistemas es usar
combustibles que no emitan GEI netos a la atmósfera. De igual manera, dichos combustibles pueden
utilizarse para estos u otros sistemas antes de electrificarlos. Los combustibles gaseosos bajos en
carbono podrían incluir biometano o hidrógeno. Sin embargo, cada uno de estos combustibles
alternativos tiene compensaciones de costo y eficiencia, pero también presentan incertidumbres, por
lo que se necesitarán más investigaciones y pruebas piloto antes de la implementación.
El riesgo de la compañía de gas de no recuperar su inversión en activos (es decir, su riesgo de costos
de transición) se puede mitigar minimizando las extensiones o reemplazos inneces arios del sistema de
gasoductos y acelerando la depreciación de los activos de servicios públicos existentes. La eliminación
gradual del consumo de gas natural de uso final en los edificios puede dar lugar a activos de transición
de gas natural, definidos como una infraestructura, por ejemplo, un gasoducto de gas natural que ha
dejado de utilizarse antes de llegar al final de su vida útil. Para empresas como SDG&E, los activos de
transición representan posibles pérdidas financieras debido a los altos costos de capital para crear o
reemplazar la infraestructura de gas. Mitigar estos activos de transición será una importante
consideración de políticas. Una herramienta para hacerlo es minimizar la extensión o el reemplazo de la
infraestructura de gasoductos innecesaria. SDG&E invierte en activos de gas natural al extender tuberías
para brindar servicio a nuevos clientes y al reemplazar tuberías viejas o dañadas y otros activos. Las
políticas como exigir que todas las construcciones nuevas sean completamente eléctricas mitigarían las
pérdidas de activos de transición por nuevas inversiones en tuberías para nuevos clientes, pero esto no
mitigaría las pérdidas de invertir en el reemplazo de infraestructura obsoleta. La exploración y la puesta
a prueba de alternativas distintas de los oleoductos a la infraestructura nueva y de reemplazo, incluida
la electrificación de los usos finales en lugar de reemplazar la infraestructura, podrían identificar
oportunidades para mitigar el riesgo.
Los CAP tienen relativamente pocas medidas para electrificar edificios y el impacto de GEI de las
medidas de bajo riesgo, a pesar de su importancia para la descarbonización regional. Solo seis CAP
incluyen medidas relacionadas con la electrificación de edificios, y las reducciones de GEI en los CAP
asociados con la eficiencia y la electrificación son relativamente bajas. En comparación con el nivel de

electrificación necesario tanto en los edificios nuevos como en los existentes, como se describe en el
Capítulo 4, las medidas del CAP no alcanzan el nivel de descarbonización de los edificios en los modelos
del análisis técnico del RDF.
Las políticas sobre la descarbonización de edificios nuevos y existentes son fundamentales. El 80 % de
los edificios que existirán en 2050 ya existen, por lo que descarbonizar estos edificios será fundamental
para descarbonizar el sector de la construcción. Si bien los códigos de construcción estatales regulan las
modificaciones y adiciones a ciertos edificios existentes, las políticas locales podrían alentar o exigir aún
más la eficiencia energética y la electrificación en muchos otros edificios existentes.xi La
descarbonización de los edificios municipales puede ser una política de bajo riesgo porque la
implementación de medidas rentables y la electrificación de esos edificios puede ayudar a reducir los
costos operativos y el modelado de estas acciones puede alentar a actuar a los propietarios de viviendas
y negocios.
Existe la oportunidad y la necesidad de evaluar las consideraciones de equidad social de desarrollo
de políticas de descarbonización. En el contexto de la descarbonización de edificios, hay varios
aspectos de equidad a considerar, entre los que se incluyen la alta proporción de inquilinos en
comunidades de interés, la falta relativa de datos y análisis relacionados con la equidad y las políticas
relacionadas con la construcción, y las posibles consecuencias de costo de políticas de descarbonización
de edificios, particularmente en electrificación. Se necesitaría trabajo adicional para desarrollar la
capacidad y las herramientas para comprender y abordar las consecuencias de equidad en construcción
y otras políticas de descarbonización en la región de San Diego.
Autoridad legal para regular la descarbonización de los edificios:xii Las jurisdicciones locales tienen la
autoridad para regular las emisiones de GEI del uso final de combustibles fósiles y otras fuentes de
energía en edificios, que es el medio principal para descarbonizar edificios. Las jurisdicciones locales
también actúan con autoridad delegada sobre el entorno construido para exigir códigos de energía más
estrictos, regular directamente las emisiones contaminantes del aire de los edificios y procurar
suministros de energía alternativos en los edificios públicos. La autoridad adicional puede provenir de la
Ley de Calidad Ambiental de California (CEQA) al establecer un umbral más estricto para determinar el
impacto ambiental. Se evita que los gobiernos locales establezcan estándares de electrodomésticos de
eficiencia energética, regulen el suministro, la transmisión y el almacenamiento de gas natural y los
refrigerantes con alto potencial de calentamiento global (por ejemplo, los HFC).
xi Ver el Capítulo 8, sección 8.6 para obtener más detalles sobre ejemplos de autoridades locales que pusieron en marcha la
descarbonización en edificios existentes. Ver el Capítulo 7, sección 7.3.1 para leer sobre un ejemplo local.

Soluciones climáticas naturales
El análisis técnico del RDF investiga las soluciones climáticas naturales (NCS) disponibles en la región de
San Diego y su potencial para capturar y almacenar de forma natural CO2 y otros GEI. Las NCS son
procesos que protegen o mejoran la capacidad de las tierras naturales y de trabajo (NWL) para capturar
y almacenar GEI de la atmósfera a través de plantas y suelos. Entre las “tierras de trabajo” se incluyen
las tierras agrícolas como los huertos, los viñedos, los pastizales, y demás. La “captura” hace referencia
a la medida anual de cómo
se eliminan muchos GEI de la atmósfera, y “almacenamiento” hace referencia a la cantidad total de GEI
que se capturó. El almacenamiento de carbono en la región (Figura 11) es importante porque existen
formas de evitar que el carbono almacenado se libere a la atmósfera, como ocurre cuando el uso del
suelo cambia de las tierras de trabajo a áreas urbanas, por ejemplo. Al comprender el potencial de
almacenamiento y captura de carbono de un espacio, se puede evitar que las áreas con altos niveles de
carbono almacenado emitan su carbono a la atmósfera y se puedan proteger las áreas con alto
potencial de captura.
Figura 11. Estimaciones de carbono almacenado total (medidas en toneladas métricas de dióxido de carbono equivalente por
hectárea, o t CO2e ha-1) para la región de San Diego. Los colores más cálidos representan las estimaciones de existencias de
carbono más grandes, los colores más fríos representan las estimaciones de existencias más bajas y el blanco representa que
no hay existencias de carbono.

Las NWL regionales capturan y almacenan grandes cantidades de dióxido de carbono, pero no lo
suficiente como para dar cuenta de las emisiones causadas por el hombre. Las NWL pueden actuar
como sumideros netos más fuertes de lo que lo hacen actualmente, aun que esto requerirá inversiones
para reforzar las NCS y minimizar las emisiones de carbono del suelo y las actividades de uso del
suelo. Para contabilizar con precisión las emisiones netas de carbono del uso de la tierra, se deben
recopilar datos locales e integrarlos en los cálculos regionales de carbono. La región puede ampliar la
captura de carbono anual y el almacenamiento de carbono a largo plazo mediante la inversión en NCS
que aumentan la captura natural y reducen las emisiones del suelo. Estas pueden incluir la inversión en
“cultivo de carbono”, la restauración y expansión de los hábitats de “carbono azul”, la plantación de
árboles y otras plantas en áreas urbanas, la prevención de incendios forestales y la plantación de árboles
en las NWL. Los datos locales pueden mejorar las políticas y las técnicas de gestión de NCS y, por lo
tanto, aumentar la captura regional.
La NCS más efectiva y económica en la región de San Diego es evitar el cambio de uso de la tierra
mediante la protección de las tierras naturales y de trabajo, excepto cuando se requiere un cambio de
uso de la tierra para otras acciones de descarbonización, como la ubicación de infraestructura de
energía renovable. Las tierras naturales y de trabajo existentes son sumideros naturales de carbono,
por lo que evitar que estas tierras se conviertan en zonas urbanas o edificadas permitirá 1) una captura
anual continuada y 2) evitará las emisiones puntuales a causa de la eliminación de la vegetación, la
alteración del suelo, y demás. Este informe estima que la captura anual natural en las NWL puede ser de
hasta 2 millones de toneladas métricas (t) de CO2 en circunstancias ideales y que puede haber
58 millones de toneladas métricas de CO2 almacenadas en la vegetación, los restos leñosos, la hojarasca
y los suelos, algunas de las cuales se liberarían con el cambio de uso del suelo. Es importante la captura
anual en las NWL para aumentar el almacenamiento natural de CO2. La captura natural no se incluyó en
el análisis técnico de las emisiones del RDF, ya que se centró en el sistema energético. El cambio en el
uso del suelo será necesario para instalar la infraestructura de energía renovable a escala de servicios,
que apoyará la descarbonización y permitirá el desarrollo de viviendas. Será importante minimizar el
cambio de uso del suelo en las zonas con mayor cantidad de reservas naturales de carbono y con mayor
potencial de retención, así como proteger las zonas con grandes beneficios colaterales (como las zonas
que proporcionan mejoras en la calidad del aire y del agua, la protección de la biodiversidad y mejoras
en los resultados de salud pública).
Otras NCS regionales importantes consideradas por el análisis técnico del RDF serían menos efectivas
o más costosas para la captación de carbono, aunque produc en importantes beneficios secundarios.
Entre ellas se encuentran la agricultura del carbono (prácticas agrícolas que aumentan la captura y el
almacenamiento de carbono y minimizan las emisiones de GEI en las tierras agrícolas), la protección y la
expansión o restauración de los humedales y la silvicultura urbana. La restauración de hábitats a gran
escala y la reforestación, que no se consideraron en este informe, son costosas y pueden no ser eficaces.
La prevención de incendios forestales también será importante por las emisiones y por muchas otras
razones económicas y sociales. Otras opciones de NCS requieren importantes inversiones de capital y es
probable que tengan un rendimiento de captura a corto plazo menor que la preservación.

Las NCS ofrecen beneficios secundarios cuantificables más allá de la descarbonización. Cada una de
las NCS en estudio ofrece numerosos beneficios secundarios cuantificables. Estos beneficios
secundarios incluyen, entre otros, la mejora de la calidad del aire y del agua, la mejora de los resultados
en materia de salud pública, la protección de la biodiversidad, la protección del funcionamiento de los
ecosistemas, el aumento de la sombra en las zonas urbanas, la disminución de las necesidades de agua
y de fertilizantes en las explotaciones agrícolas y en los pastizales, la mejora de la estética en las zonas
urbanas y el potencial para aumentar la justicia medioambiental. Estos beneficios secundarios deben
contemplarse a la hora de elaborar y aplicar las políticas con el fin de aumentar la resiliencia ecológica,
económica y social.
La equidad debe ser una prioridad en todas las decisiones sobre las NCS. Las NCS deben contemplarse
desde el punto de vista de la descarbonización y la equidad. Siempre que sea posible, se debe dar
prioridad a las comunidades afectadas por el reverdecimiento urbano, la plantación de árboles, la
agricultura climática y la restauración de hábitats, ya que estas NCS tienen beneficios secundarios
extraordinarios al mejorar la calidad del aire y del agua, así como la salud humana. En el pasado, estas
comunidades recibieron menos inversiones y soportaron niveles desequilibrados de daños ambientales.
Se debe hacer todo lo posible para abordar de forma activa estas desigualdades históricas.
La única medida cuantificada del PAC relevante para esta vía es la plantación de árboles urbanos,
pero existen oportunidades para aplicar otras NCS de forma colaborativa. Es posible aplicar otras
medidas en el marco de la autoridad local de uso del suelo. Las medidas de plantación de árboles
contribuyen en promedio a algo más del 1 % de las reducciones locales de GEI en los CAP. Estas
medidas pueden mejorarse mediante la colaboración jurisdiccional. Las medidas adicionales de los CAP
de NCS son posibles bajo la autoridad existente y podrían contribuir a la conservación, preservación y
restauración de la tierra en tierras naturales y de trabajo. Los propietarios privados y los gobiernos
tribales también pueden preservar la tierra, evaluar y financiar proyectos piloto de eliminación y
almacenamiento de carbono y colaborar con los organismos públicos. En forma conjunta, existe la
oportunidad de ampliar las protecciones de las tierras naturales y de trabajo para cumplir el nuevo
mandato del SB 27 (2021) que exige la creación de proyectos de eliminación y almacenamiento de
carbono en este tipo de tierras.
También existen oportunidades para incluir datos locales en la gestión y planificación de las tierras,
así como en los CAP. Por ejemplo, los CAP pueden utilizar la metodología de contabilización del
carbono de la Junta de Recursos del Aire de California (CARB) en las tierras naturales y de trabajo y los
datos de las universidades para crear medidas y objetivos más sólidos. Además, la región puede llevar
a cabo una contabilización periódica del carbono y controlar los cambios de este elemento en los
terrenos naturales y de trabajo con el paso del tiempo para comprender cómo se conservan las
reservas de carbono y si se producen emisiones netas debido a los cambios en el uso del suelo.
Autoridad legal para regular las emisiones negativas de las soluciones climáticas naturales y del uso
de la tierra: xiii No está claro si las jurisdicciones locales tienen la autoridad para decidir sobre el uso de

actividades en las tierras naturales y de trabajo privadas más allá de la designación del uso de la tierra
que afectaría a las emisiones o a la captación de GEI. La jurisdicción del uso de la tierra de la región es aún
más complicada porque está compuesta por tierras federales, estatales, tribales y privadas, tierras
sumergidas y aguas. Varios estatutos y agencias regulan los distintos tipos de tierra, pero ninguno se
centra en las emisiones o la captación de GEI en relación con el uso de la tierra. Las agencias estatales de
regulación y uso del suelo también operan con un gran número de obligaciones legales que se aplican a
las tierras pertenecientes a múltiples jurisdicciones y que afectan a las emisiones y a la contabilización de
los GEI. Los reglamentos y decretos ejecutivos de California exigen a las agencias estatales de uso del
suelo que contabilicen las emisiones de GEI de las tierras naturales y de trabajo. Además, estas agencias
estatales están empezando a evaluar y regular la eliminación y el almacenamiento de carbono en estas
tierras con objetivos significativos en 2030. Existe una oportunidad para que las jurisdicciones locales
trabajen con los propietarios y administradores de tierras para lograr los objetivos estatales, regionales y
locales relacionados con las tierras naturales y de trabajo.
Impactos de la descarbonización en el empleo en la región de San Diego
El análisis técnico del RDF calcula el cambio neto en los puestos de trabajo del sector energético en
respuesta al caso central de las vías de descarbonización modeladas a partir del modelo EER. El
análisis se centra en los cambios en el empleo entre 2021 y 2030, de acuerdo con el Plan de Acción para
el Empleo y el Clima de California para 2030, e informa sobre las estrategias de desarrollo de la fuerza
laboral. Además, este informe analiza la generación media anual de empleo entre 2020 y 2050, sobre la
base del calendario completo del modelo EER. Para la eliminación progresiva de los combustibles fósiles
y el modelado de las pérdidas de empleo asociadas, el análisis se centra en el periodo 2021-2030, en el
que el caso central del modelo EER estima reducciones limitadas de las actividades a base de
combustibles fósiles. En principio, esto se debe a las estimaciones del modelo de un consumo constante
de gas natural y una disminución del 20 % del consumo de petróleo para 2030, en relación con los
niveles de consumo actuales. El análisis técnico del RDF se centra en los impactos cuantitativos sobre el
empleo como resultado de los esfuerzos de descarbonización profunda en los sectores de la energía, la
construcción y el transporte, y sirve de base para un informe de Inclusive Economicsxiv sobre las
estrategias de desarrollo de la fuerza laboral.
Entre 2021 y 2030, las vías de descarbonización regional generarían una media de casi 27 000
empleos al año en la región de San Diego. A través de la creación de puestos de trabajo directos,
indirectos e inducidos, el análisis técnico del RDF estima que las vías de descarbonización
crearán 27 000 puestos de trabajo al año para la región.xv En la tabla 1 se observa que los gastos en la
demanda de energía generarán cerca de 13 500 empleos entre 2021 y 2030. En la tabla 2 se observa
que el suministro de energía generará cerca de 13.500 empleos entre 2021 y 2030.

Según el análisis técnico del RDF, ningún trabajador de las industrias relacionadas con los
combustibles fósiles de la región tendrá que experimentar un desplazamiento de puestos de trabajo
antes de 2030, incluso con la contracción de la demanda de combust ibles fósiles. La combinación de
suministros energéticos en el modelo EER sugiere que habrá pocos o ningún cambio en el consumo de
combustibles fósiles antes de 2030.xvi Esto indica que no habrá pérdidas de puestos de trabajo en los
sectores del petróleo y el gas en la región de San Diego antes de 2030.
El condado de San Diego y los gobiernos locales deberían comenzar ahora mismo a desarrollar un
conjunto de políticas viables de transición justa para los trabajadores de la comunidad que
experimentarán el desplazamiento de puestos de trabajo entre 2031 y 2050. Después de 2030, se
estima que el modelo EER prevé una fuerte contracción tanto en el sector del petróleo como en el del
gas. El modelo predice tasas de contracción del 95 % en el petróleo y del 75 % en el gas para 2050. Es
fundamental que los gobiernos regionales empiecen a desarrollar políticas para una transición justa
para estos trabajadores que les permitan acceder a puestos de trabajo equivalentes o de mejor calidad
en la economía de las energías limpias o en otros lugares.
Los costos de una transición justa serán mucho más bajos si la transición se lleva a cabo de manera
constante y no por etapas. Con una transición constante, la proporción de trabajadores que se
jubilarán de forma voluntaria en un año determinado será prede cible, lo que evitará la necesidad de
prestar apoyo a una parte mucho mayor de trabajadores en un momento dado. El ritmo de la
transición de los empleos en el sector de los combustibles fósiles a los empleos que se basan en las
energías renovables repercutirá en la equidad y la justicia de la transición. Los cambios y las
contracciones repentinas provocarían una pérdida repentina de puestos de trabajo, mientras que los
cambios y las contracciones constantes supondrían una pérdida menor de puestos de trabajo, ya que los
empleados podrían hacer la transición a nuevos puestos de trabajo o podrían jubilarse por voluntad
propia.
La producción geotérmica de los cinco emplazamientos que se identificaron en el condado de
Imperial generaría 1900 puestos de trabajo al año durante un periodo de 10 años. En el Capítulo 2
se identifican cinco áreas para la producción de energía geotérmica en el condado de Imperial. El
análisis de este capítulo concluye que se crearán 1900 puestos de trabajo al año en la región del sur
de California durante un período de 10 años para el desarrollo y la operación de estas cinco plantas
de energía geotérmica. Algunos de estos puestos de trabajo podrían surgir en la región de San Diego.

Oportunidades de políticas localesxvii
En el análisis técnico del RDF se evalúan los compromisos actuales de reducción de GEI en los Planes de
Acción Climática (CAP) para determinar la necesidad de actividades adicionales para situar a la región
en una trayectoria que permita alcanzar los objetivos de descarbonización. Además, identifica
oportunidades para que las jurisdicciones locales de la región tomen medidas adicionales que apoyen
las vías de descarbonización para la producción de energía, el transporte, los edificios y las soluciones
climáticas naturales.
Para ello, se llevaron a cabo varios análisis novedosos. En primer lugar, se analiza la autoridad de los
gobiernos y los organismos locales para influir y regular las emisiones de GEI y se resume la autoridad de
los principales organismos federales, estatales y locales, así como la legislación y la reglamentación clave
a nivel federal y estatal para aclarar la capacidad de los gobiernos locales en materia de reducción de las
emisiones de GEI.xviii En segundo lugar, se evalúan todos los CAP de la región para determinar la
frecuencia con la que se incluyó una medida determinada en los CAP, los impactos relativos en los GEI
de los compromisos de los CAP y la integración de las consideraciones de equidad social.xix En tercer
lugar, se realiza un análisis de escenarios para estimar las reducciones regionales totales de GEI
resultantes de todos los compromisos de los CAP adoptados y pendientes. Luego, se calcula el posible
impacto en materia de GEI de un escenario que aplique los mejores compromisos del CAP a todas las
jurisdicciones.xx Este análisis de escenarios toma el compromiso del CAP para una categoría determinada
de sus políticas, por ejemplo, los objetivos de plantación de árboles en zonas urbanas o rurales, que
producirá la mayor reducción relativa de GEI y, luego, aplica ese compromiso a todas las jurisdicciones
de la región de San Diego, sin tener en cuenta los compromisos actuales o previstos en esa categoría.
Esto se puede considerar como el límite superior de las reducciones posibles de GEI a partir de los
compromisos actuales del CAP. Por último, este capítulo utiliza los resultados de estos análisis, además
de los resultados de otras investigaciones y análisis, para identificar oportunidades para una mayor
acción local y colaboración regional en cada una de las cuatro vías de descarbonización.xxi
Las jurisdicciones locales tienen autoridad para influir y regular las emisiones de GEI. Los gobiernos
locales pueden influir y regular las emisiones de GEI mediante la aceleración de los objetivos y las
políticas reglamentarias del estado, la adopción de ordenanzas que vayan más allá de la legislación
estatal y el uso de una autoridad única para adoptar y aplicar políticas. La autoridad local proviene tanto
del poder derivado de la Constitución, que es una autoridad amplia para promover la salud pública, la
seguridad o el bienestar general de la comunidad, como de la autoridad delegada por las leyes del
estado. Se desconoce el alcance total del poder de una jurisdicción local para regular las emisiones de
GEI.xxii

Los compromisos actuales del CAP son insuficientes para alcanzar los objetivos de descarbonización.
Los compromisos actuales de reducción de GEI del CAP para el transporte, la electricidad y los edificios
contribuyen a una parte relativamente pequeña de las reducciones totales necesarias para alcanzar las
emisiones netas de GEI en 2045 (Figura 12). Incluso si las medidas más agresivas del CAP se aplicaran a
todas las jurisdicciones de la región, seguirían existiendo emisiones considerables, en su mayoría
procedentes de los usos finales de los edificios con gas natural y del transporte por carretera
(Figura 12).
Figura 12. En este gráfico se muestran las emisiones de GEI previstas en la región de San Diego procedentes de la electricidad,
el gas natural y el transporte por carretera en cada uno de los escenarios analizados. El escenario de referencia, en el que no
hay compromisos del CAP, solo muestra las reducciones establecidas por las leyes, reglamentos, acciones y objetivo s estatales
y federales. El escenario de los compromisos actuales del CAP muestra las emisiones de GEI restantes de un subconjunto de
las emisiones totales si todos los CAP actuales se aplicaran en su totalidad tal y como están escritos. El escenario del mejor
compromiso del CAP muestra las emisiones de GEI restantes si se aplica el mejor compromiso del CAP de cada categoría
política a todas las jurisdicciones de la región, sin importar los compromisos actuales del CAP. En este gráfico se observa que
ningún escenario analizado permitirá que la región alcance las cero emisiones netas en 2050. Cabe señalar que estos análisis
suponen que no hay nuevas leyes, reglamentos, acciones ni objetivos estatales y federales, y que los actuales no cambian en
ningún momento de este período. Además, estos análisis no incluyen todas las emisiones de GEI de la región.

Existen oportunidades para que más jurisdicciones adopten medidas adicionales de CAP y refuercen
las existentes. Según el análisis comparativo de los CAP, existe la oportunidad de que más jurisdicciones
adopten medidas CAP que ya adoptan algunas jurisdicciones de la región. Del mismo modo, sobre la
base del análisis del escenario de los impactos combinados de GEI de las medidas de CAP, hay una
oportunidad para que la mayoría de las jurisdicciones fortalezcan sus medidas de CAP existentes, sobre
todo en los sectores del transporte y construcción. Estos sectores producen grandes emisiones de GEI
(Figura 13, a la derecha), pero en promedio representan reducciones de emisiones sumamente bajas en
los CAP en 2035 (Figura 13, a la izquierda).
Figura 13. Este gráfico muestra la contribución media de cada vía de descarbonización a la reducción total de GEI de las
medidas locales de los CAP en 2035 (a la izquierda) y la distribución de las emisiones regionales de 2016 por fuente de emisión
(a la derecha). Muestra que las emisiones del transporte (azul, a la derecho) representan casi la mitad de las emisiones
regionales pero, en promedio, las reducciones correspondientes de los compromisos del CAP solo representan algo más de una
cuarta parte de las reducciones locales de GEI en los CAP (azul, a la izquierda). Del mismo modo, la electricidad representa
alrededor de una cuarta parte de las emisiones regionales (naranja oscuro, a la derecho), pero las reducciones asociadas
contribuyen por término medio a algo menos de la mitad de las reducciones de GEI de los compromisos de los CAP. Cabe
señalar que, dado que las emisiones asociadas a la construcción proceden tanto de la combustión de gas natural in situ como
de la producción de electricidad, la parte de la barra correspondiente a la descarbonización de los edificios está sombreada
para mostrar tanto el naranja claro como el naranja oscuro, a fin de que se corresponda tanto con los edificios de gas natural
(en naranja claro) como con el suministro de electricidad (en naranja oscuro).
Sería necesario un trabajo adicional para integrar la equidad social en la planificación climática.
Según un examen preliminar, la integración de la equidad social en los CAP adoptados y pendientes es
limitada, incoherente y carece de especificidad. Se necesitaría trabajo adicional para desarrollar la
capacidad y las herramientas para comprender y abordar las implicaciones de la equidad de todas las
políticas de descarbonización en la región de San Diego, incluida la recopilación y el análisis de datos;
documentos de orientación regional; y grupos de trabajo regionales para coordinar, asesorar, seguir y
supervisar cómo se está abordando la equidad en la planificación climática.

La región de San Diego como modelo
Aunque la región de San Diego solo representa el 0,08 % de las emisiones globales, los esfuerzos de
descarbonización que se emprendieron en la región tienen un impacto medible en las emisiones
globales, al generar un seguimiento entre otros y compartir inn ovaciones duraderas que pueden
ampliarse y reproducirse. San Diego debería visibilizar sus esfuerzos y comunicar las lecciones
aprendidas en los foros nacionales e internacionales. La creación del Marco Regional de
Descarbonización de San Diego sirve como caso de estudio para que otras jurisdicciones de EE. UU. y del
resto del mundo aprendan de él y lo adapten a sus propios esfuerzos de planificación de la
descarbonización a largo plazo. Además de mostrar este esfuerzo en diversos foros nacionales e
internacionales,xxiii la Red de Soluciones para el Desarrollo Sostenible de las Naciones Unidas (SDSN) está
elaborando una Guía que servirá de herramienta para que otros municipios, universidades y
comunidades sigan el proceso emprendido por el Condado de San Diego en sus propios procesos de
descarbonización.
La SDSN está trabajando para compartir el RDF en tres niveles horizontales a través de sus redes. La
SDSN compartirá el RDF y sus principales conclusiones en reuniones y foros nacionales en los Estados
Unidos, en grupos y consorcios internacionales y en las Naciones Unidas. Por ejemplo, el proyecto se
presentó durante la Conferencia Innovate4Cities en octubre de 2021 y las aportaciones de este evento
servirán para informar el Sexto Informe de Evaluación del IPCC de 2022 sobre el impacto, la adaptación
y la vulnerabilidad al cambio climático global. Estos consorcios mundiales ofrecen la oportunidad de
mostrar al mundo los resultados de este proyecto y a San Diego como modelo. Con el acceso a estas
audiencias, el RDF es útil para informar sobre las hojas de ruta y los caminos globales hacia las cero
emisiones netas.
Se está preparando una Guía de Descarbonización Regional para que las jurisdicciones locales puedan
crear sus propios marcos de descarbonización. Esta guía proporcionará información de fondo, así como
pasos específicos y consejos sobre logística, metodología, participación de las partes interesadas,
planificación a largo plazo, y demás. Aunque los recursos de esta guía son relevantes y aplicables a los
equipos de proyectos de marcos de descarbonización fuera de Estados Unidos, los marcos que se están
creando en el contexto de las economías emergentes probablemente utilizarán diferentes enfoques,
perspectivas y estrategias en la planificación de la acción climática. Esta guía será gratuita y estará
disponible en línea en el sitio web de la Iniciativa de Políticas de ODS de la Universidad de California en
San Diego (http://sdgpolicyinitiative.org/guidebook/) para facilitar la creación de marcos regionales de
descarbonización y proporcionar una hoja de ruta práctica para que las jurisdicciones trabajen hacia los
objetivos de cero emisiones netas.
xxiii En el Capítulo 9 y el anexo C se presentan listas extensas de consorcios estadounidenses y mundiales con los que el condado
de San Diego y otras jurisdicciones con marcos de descarbonización pueden conectarse, asistir y unirse a las redes para difun dir
sus resultados en diferentes escalas.

ITEM TITLE
Temporary Road Closure: Approve a Temporary Closure of Park Way for a Weekly Third Avenue Village
Farmers Market from Third Avenue to Fourth Avenue on Sundays from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Report Number: 22-0115
Location: Within the Third Avenue Village on Park Way from Third Avenue to Fourth Avenue
Department: Economic Development and City Manager
Environmental Notice: The Project qualifies for a Categorical Exemption pursuant to the California
Environmental Quality Act State Guidelines Section 15301 Class 1 (Existing Facilities), Section 15304 Class
4 (Minor Alterations to Land), and Section 15061(b)(3).
Recommended Action
Adopt a resolution approving a temporary closure of the westbound lane of Park Way, north of the median,
for a weekly Third Avenue Village Farmers Market from Third Avenue to Fourth Avenue on Sundays from 7
a.m. to 4 p.m. through April 30, 2023, subject to conditions of approval, and waiving all City fees.
SUMMARY
The Third Avenue Village Association, under the management of New City America, has proposed to bring
back a new Farmers Market as a weekly event on Sundays which would require a closure of the westbound
lane of Park Way, north of the median, between Third Avenue and Fourth Avenue on Sundays from 7 a.m. to
4 p.m. The Farmers Market would be operated with management oversight by Third Avenue Village
Association, or its successor agency, in coordination with the City. The Farmers Market would be subject to
conditions of approval. In addition, Council adoption of the resolution would waive all City fees related to the
temporary street closure and authorize the City Manager to extend the street closure for up to three
additional one-year increments through April 30, 2026.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
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 State CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 Class 1 (Existing Facilities), Section 15304 Class 4 (Minor
Alterations to Land), and Section 15061(b)(3) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no
2022/04/26 City Council Post Agenda Page 122 of 667

possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment. Thus, no furth er
environmental review is required.
BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
Not applicable
DISCUSSION
Starting in 1994, a weekly Farmers Market occurred in the Third Avenue Village and was a staple in the
community for a 22-year period, with operations ceasing in 2017. The Third Avenue Village Association
(TAVA), under the management of New City America, has proposed to bring back a new Farmers Market as
a weekly event on Sundays with a closure of the westbound lane of Park Way, north of the median, between
Third Avenue and Fourth Avenue on Sundays from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. TAVA’s request is included as Attachment
1. While this window includes vendor setup and takedown, the Farmers Market itself would take place from
10 a.m. to 2 p.m. California Vehicle Code section 21101(e) authorizes temporary closures of a portion of any
street for local special events when the closing is necessary for the safety and protection of persons that
would use that portion of the street during the temporary closing. Here, the proposed temporary closure
described above would be necessary for the safety and protection of patrons of the Farmers Market.
The Farmers Market would be operated at the location identified in Attachment 3 hereto with management
oversight by TAVA, or its successor agency, in coordination with the City. TAVA has engaged Catt Fields
White, Founder and CEO of San Diego Markets, to operate the event on a weekly basis. An experienced
Farmers Market operator, Catt Fields White with San Diego Markets developed the Little Italy Saturday
Mercato in 2008 and has provided management services since then to Little Italy's two weekly markets, and
to multiple other weekly farmers markets in the region.
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the resolution to approve a temporary street closure of the
westbound lane of Park Way, north of the median, from Third Avenue to Fourth Avenue, subject to conditions
of approval (see Attachment 2), and waive all City fees related to the temporary street closure, including
those for traffic control and special events. City Council’s adoption of the resolution would allow for a
Farmers Market on Sundays for a one-year period through April 30, 2023, after which the City Manager or
designee could consider extending the Farmers Market and associated temporary street closure for three
additional one-year increments through April 30, 2026.
DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Councilmembers and has found no property holdings
within 1,000 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)(7) or (8), 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.

CURRENT-YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
Expenditures associated with the street closure are nominal and include staff time in the amount of $225 to
review and process a traffic control plan.
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
There is no ongoing fiscal impact associated with the street closure.

RE: Third Avenue Village Farmers’ Market
Dear Mr. Pointer,
At the February 2022’s Board Meeting, the Third Avenue Village Association’s (TAVA) Board
authorized staff to work with the City of Chula Vista and San Diego Markets (SDM) to reinstate
a weekly farmers’ market. The Third Avenue Village Farmers’ Market is owned by TAVA and
managed by our consultant, Catt White with SDM.
We are looking to kick-off the new market on Sunday, May 1, 2022, from 10:00am to 2:00pm
and continue with the Market year-round, rain-or-shine.
The TAVA Board of Directors authorize Catt White and her staff to act on TAVA’s behalf in the
planning and implementation of the Third Avenue Village Market.
If you have any questions, please contact me at dominic@newcityamerica.com.
Thank you for your time and support.

ITEM TITLE
Contract Award: Award a Contract to Iteris, Inc. to Perform Traffic Signal Retiming Services
Report Number: 22-0107
Location: East of I-805
Department: Engineering
Environmental Notice: The Project qualifies for a Class 1 Categorical Exemption pursuant to Section 15301
(Existing Facilities) of the California Environmental Quality Act State Guidelines.
Recommended Action
Adopt a resolution awarding a professional services contract to Iteris, Inc. to perform traffic signal retiming
services for the portion of Chula Vista generally east of Interstate 805.
SUMMARY
After undergoing a Request for Proposal solicitation process, Staff has selected Iteris, Inc. to provide
professional services for the retiming of 99 traffic signal locations generally located east of Interstate 805 as
part of CIP TRF0400 (the “Project”; Attachment 1). The Project will update signal timing standards at all
project locations and improve signal coordination along key corridors which will enhance safety and improve
travel times for road users in the City of Chula Vista.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
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 Class 1 Categorical
Exemption pursuant to Section 15301 (Existing Facilities) of the State CEQA Guidelines because the project
involves negligible or no expansion of an existing use. Thus, no further environmental review is required.
BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
Not applicable.
DISCUSSION
2022/04/26 City Council Post Agenda Page 133 of 667
P a g e | 2
The Project was initiated to address recent changes to the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control
Devices (CA-MUTCD). The manual specifies provisions in signal timing standards of yellow/red clearance
times and pedestrian “WALK” and “DON’T WALK” intervals. The Project will implement these standards at
99 traffic signals on the easterly portions of the City (CIP TRF0404 updated the timing at a majority of the
traffic signals in the westerly portions of the City).
This work will ensure the subject intersections’ signal timing is up to current standards in order to enhance
safety and improve the efficiency and flow of traffic in the City. As part of the Project, the timing of the
pedestrian phases which include the “WALK” and “DON’T WALK” intervals will be reviewed and updated, if
needed, to provide sufficient time for pedestrians to begin crossing and finish crossing the street. The yellow
times will also be reviewed and updated to ensure that minimum State standards are met providing adequate
warning to motorists that their green interval is terminating, and right-of-way assignment is about to change.
In addition, the red clearance interval, which follows the yellow interval, will also be reviewed and updated,
if recommended, at these 99 intersections. The updated signal timing parameters are expected to enhance
safety and improve efficiency at the Project locations.
The Project also includes a comprehensive analysis of the current timing along major corridors east of I-805.
The Project will improve the coordination between signals along major streets and therefore represents
benefits to some of the City’s most heavily traveled corridors such as East H Street, Telegraph Canyon Road,
Otay Lakes Road, and Olympic Parkway. These streets represent critical travel routes for Chula Vista
residents commuting to and from the freeway and to the eastern extents of Chula Vista. Optimizing the
coordination of signals will help improve traffic flow and reduce stops and delays for motorists. Fewer stops,
less vehicle idling, and improved traffic flows will result in fewer Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions in direct
support of the City’s Climate Action Plan.
To achieve the objectives of the Project, Staff advertised a Request for Proposals (RFP) for services on
December 10, 2021, in accordance with Chula Vista Municipal Code Section 2.56.110. On January 19, 2022,
the City received five (5) proposals from the following interested firms:
Ranking Consulting Firm
1 Iteris
2 STC Traffic
3 Advantec
4 TJKM
5 KOA
A selection committee evaluated and scored each proposal, and determined that Iteris, Inc. was the most
qualified to complete the Project. Therefore, Staff recommends awarding the subject contract to Iteris, Inc.
DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council and has found that, Mayor Casillas Salas has real
property holdings within 1,000 feet, but beyond 500 feet, of the boundaries of the property which is the
subject of this action. Staff has determined that, pursuant to California Code of Regulations Title 2, sections
18700 and 18702.2(a)(8), this item does not present a disqualifying real property-related financial conflict
of interest under the Political Reform Act (Cal. Gov't Code § 87100, et seq.) for the above-identified member.
2022/04/26 City Council Post Agenda Page 134 of 667
P a g e | 3
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.
CURRENT-YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
Sufficient funding to cover this contract and City staff costs is included in capital improvement project
TRF0400. Therefore, there is no additional impact to the TransNet and Traffic Signal Fund. Project costs are
summarized below:
FUNDS REQUIRED FOR PROJECT (TRF0400)
A. Contract Amount $355,729
B. Traffic Engineering Staff Costs $25,879
Total Funds Required to Complete Project $381,608
AVAILABLE FUNDING (TRF0400)
TransNet - TRF0400 $271,649
Traffic Signal – TRF0400 $109,959
TOTAL FUNDS AVAILABLE FOR CONSTRUCTION $381,608
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
Upon completion of the project, the improvements will require only routine City operation and maintenance
efforts.

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
to time, reduce the Required Services to be performed by the Consultant under this Agreement. Upon doing

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

personnel utilized by the Consultant to complete its obligations under this Agreement comply with all

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

all their obligations hereunder; provided, however, provisions which expressly survive termination shall
remain in effect.

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

2022/04/26 City Council Post Agenda Page 143 of 667

Consultant Name: ITERIS, INC. Rev. 9/15/20

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 wheth er
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.
6. REMEDIES

Services under this Agreement, in a proper or timely manner, or if Consultant shall violate any of the other
covenants, agreements or conditions of this Agreement (each a “Default”), in addition to any and all other
rights and remedies City may have under this Agreement, at law or in equity, City shall have the right to
terminate this Agreement by giving five (5) days written notice to Consultant. Such notice shall identify the
Default and the Agreement termination date. If Consultant notifies City of its intent to cure such Default prior
2022/04/26 City Council Post Agenda Page 146 of 667
7 City of Chula Vista Agreement No.: 2022-022
Consultant Name: ITERIS, INC. Rev. 9/15/20
to City’s specified termination date, and City agrees that the specified Default is capable of being cured, City
may grant Consultant up to ten (10) additional days after the designated termination date to effectuate such
cure. In the event of a termination under this Section 6.1, Consultant shall immediately provide City any and
all ”Work Product” (defined in Section 7 below) prepared by Consultant as part of the Required Services.
Such Work Product shall be City’s sole and exclusive property as provided in Section 7 hereof. Consultant
may be entitled to compensation for work satisfactorily performed prior to Consultant’s receipt of the Default
notice; provided, however, in no event shall such compensation exceed the amount that would have been
payable under this Agreement for such work, and any such compensation shall be reduced by any costs
incurred or projected to be incurred by City as a result of the Default.
6.2 Termination or Suspension for Convenience of City. City may suspend or terminate this Agreement,
or any portion of the Required Services, at any time and for any reason, with or without cause, by giving
specific written notice to Consultant of such termination or suspension at least fifteen (15) days prior to the
effective date thereof. Upon receipt of such notice, Consultant shall immediately cease all work under the
Agreement and promptly deliver all “Work Product” (defined in Section 7 below) to City. Such Work Product
shall be City's sole and exclusive property as provided in Section 7 hereof. Consultant shall be entitled to
receive just and equitable compensation for this Work Product in an amount equal to the amount due and
payable under this Agreement for work satisfactorily performed as of the date of the termination/suspension
notice plus any additional remaining Required Services requested or approved by City in advance that would
maximize City’s value under the Agreement.
6.3 Waiver of Claims. In the event City terminates the Agreement in accordance with the terms of this
Section, Consultant hereby expressly waives any and all claims for damages or compensation as a result of
such termination except as expressly provided in this Section 6.
6.4 Administrative Claims Requirements and Procedures. No suit or arbitration shall be brought arising
out of this Agreement against City unless a claim has first been presented in writing and filed with City and
acted upon by City in accordance with the procedures set forth in Chapter 1.34 of the Chula Vista Municipal
Code, as same may be amended, the provisions of which, including such policies and procedures used by City
in the implementation of same, are incorporated herein by this reference. Upon request by City, Consultant

12 City of Chula Vista Agreement No.: 2022-022
Consultant Name: ITERIS, INC. Rev. 9/15/20
information will be gathered, and a thorough understanding of the goals of the project will be obtained. The
coordination protocol will also be set up.
Subtask 1.2. Progress Meetings
Consultant will facilitate and lead monthly meetings at the City or via conference call to include City staff, other
stakeholders and agency officials as needed to ensure thoroughness of direction to the team, and accuracy of the
project deliverables. These meetings will cover project activities, address any issues as they arise, and coordinate
activities such as scheduling of additional meetings, and preparation and reviews of deliverables. Consultant will
send out agendas prior to each meeting and will distribute notes and action items to invitees following the dates
of these meetings. Consultant will maintain a cumulative log of Action Items from all meetings. Consultant will
attend up to six (6) on-site meetings; one (1) of which will be reserved for definition of the “before” and “after”
studies. Consultant will also be available to attend Council meetings to present project findings and solutions.
As a proactive way to manage the project schedule and budget, Consultant management is scheduled to conduct
an internal project review meeting with each PM monthly. The internal review includes checking the current
project status against the project schedule to ensure that projects are kept on schedule and on budget. A proposed
project schedule for this project is provided at the end of this section.
Mr. Bernard Li, QA/QC Lead, will also be responsible for the overall Quality Control/Quality Assurance
(QC/QA) aspect of this project. Within this role, he will work closely with PM to ensure QC procedure be fully
executed and to review the products prior to delivery to the City for review and approval.
Deliverables
• Kick-off Meeting
• Progress Meetings
• Meeting Agendas and Minutes
TASK 2 – DATA COLLECTION
•
The data collection task includes the gathering of all information needed to deliver optimized signal timing and
synchronization for the project area. Consultant will coordinate with the City to obtain existing timing sheets,
signal plans, collision data, and speed surveys.
Subtasks 2.1 and 2.2. ADT and Turning Movement Counts
Consultant team will collect and document 2-day 24-hour bidirectional vehicle counts at 20 locations that are
preselected in Attachment C of RFP. Consultant will coordinate with the City Staff to review and finalize the list
of ADT locations prior to scheduling the field work. ADT counts will be documented in 15-minute bins and
submitted in the format that is predefined in Attachment C of RFP.
Prior to conducting traffic counts, Consultant will use ClearGuide to identify and confirm if traffic patterns have
returned to the “new” normal condition. Once confirmed and with agencies’ concurrence, Consultant’s
subconsultant, AimTD will conduct 24-hour ADT counts at the finalized 20 preselected locations. AimTD was
Consultant team for traffic data collect for TRF404 Retiming Project and is very familiar with the City’
requirements and procedure. These ADT counts will help identify the peaking characteristics of each segment
and identify proposed peak periods for the collection of turning movement counts as well as signal
synchronization periods. Consultant will update citywide ADT map using the data collected under this task if
needed. Based on the peak hours identified by the ADT data, Consultant team will collect and document 1-day
weekday turning movement counts (TMCs) at 72 intersections which include 3-hour AM peak, 2-hour Midday
Peak, and 3-hour PM peak. The weekend TMC will also be collected at 62 of the 72 locations to cover 2-hour
2022/04/26 City Council Post Agenda Page 152 of 667
13 City of Chula Vista Agreement No.: 2022-022

peak of Saturday traffic. AimTD will then conduct weekday and weekend turning movement counts at all study
intersections using video cameras mounted on signal poles. These recordings can be conducted during the same
week(s) as the ADT counts with the appropriate set-up to capture queues. Therefore, once the ADT data is
analyzed, the turning movement count videos can be processed immediately to ensure turning movement counts
will be representative of the ADT data and provide another layer of quality control. Bike and pedestrian counts
will be included in separate columns of traffic count sheets.
Consultant understands the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on traffic volumes, that are not representative of
typical conditions, and will apply adjustment factors to the counts if determined as necessary.
Subtasks 2.3 and 2.4. Field Investigation and Measurements
After receiving City provided documents and files, Consultant team will conduct field work and signal inventory
at each intersection to take digital pictures, measure crosswalk distances, applicable grades, and collect
intersection phasing and factors that may affect the deployment of signal synchronization. The pedestrian crossing
distances and applicable grades will be measured at 54 intersections as identified in Attachment D of RFP. As
part of this project, Consultant will recommend the bicycle minimum green in accordance with CA MUTCD
Table 4D- 109 (CA) and industry practices. The bicycle turning path will be identified and measured at all 99
intersections using Google Earth and tabulated in an Excel spreadsheet.
Subtask 2.5. Field Review Documentation
During the field review, Consultant will monitor existing traffic conditions for any corridor issues during the peak
periods. Consultant will prepare a technical memorandum that will detail the findings of the field work,
summarize all data collected, and identify any low-cost improvements if there is any. Detailed inventory
documents will be prepared to ensure City staff will have an appropriate record of existing equipment and
infrastructure. Consultant will submit a field review report summarizing the findings.
Deliverables
• Turning Movement Count Reports
• ADT Counts Reports
• Field Review Inventory Forms
• Field Review Technical Memorandum
TASK 3 – SIGNAL TIMING DEVELOPMENT
•
Subtask 3.1. Model Development & Analysis (99 Locations)
The intersection features and traffic data collected in Task 2 will be used to prepare and calibrate a traffic model
that encompasses the project roadway network. The traffic models will be developed using Synchro version 10
or 11 per City’s preference. The congestion hotspot data, queuing condition, and other field observations will be
used to calibrate and verify the Synchro models, which will serve as the baseline condition for the evaluation of
optimization options and common cycle alternatives. Consultant will use a GIS shapefile as the background in
Synchro to develop the base roadway configuration. The intersection numbering will be consistent with signal ID
to assist production of timing sheets or per City’s preference.
Once traffic models have been developed and calibrated, Consultant will develop a concise technical
memorandum for Concept of Optimization that assesses all feasible operational patterns for each time. It
documents the strategy and the objectives for how traffic will be managed in all direction, considering special
traffic generators and congestion hotspots. Special considerations will be given to the before and after conditions
of COVID-related traffic changes. Although the primary signal retiming goal is to maximize the number of
successive greens for motorists along the primary coordinate band or between adjacent coordinated bands,
2022/04/26 City Council Post Agenda Page 153 of 667
14 City of Chula Vista Agreement No.: 2022-022
Consultant Name: ITERIS, INC. Rev. 9/15/20
considerations will be given to all transportation modes to ensure the improvement of both safety and efficiency.
Based upon City’s review comments on concept of optimization, Consultant will conduct detailed analysis for
common cycle lengths, phasing sequence, and green band/delay optimization.
Consultant will develop optimized signal timing plans for each of the intersections along the study corridors.
Timing parameters, including cycle lengths, splits, and offsets, will be thoroughly evaluated to produce plans for
AM, Midday, PM, and Weekend conditions. The Consultant methodology to optimize a study corridor is shown
in the inset to the right. Once City staff approve the existing Synchro files and basic timing parameters, Consultant
will first complete the analysis to generate the most efficient grouping and cycle length for each peak. A technical
memorandum will be developed to summarize the preliminary recommended signal groupings, traffic progression
strategies and cycle lengths, including minimum cycle length requirements based on pedestrian crossing times
and other restrictions like at Caltrans signals. Upon the City’s approval of the cycle length recommendations,
Consultant will perform a detailed optimization for the corridors for all peaks. This will include the development
of the optimal offset values, phasing s equence, and splits. A separate Synchro network with proposed timing
recommendations will be developed for each of the peak periods for City review and approval.
Cycle length selection is a critical step in developing signal coordination plans. A longer cycle length may provide
better progression along the corridors but could increase side street delay and queuing. Consultant has developed
a unique iterative methodology to determine ideal cycle lengths for each study intersection. Extensive project
studies show this capacity-based methodology provides more accurate results than purely delay-based
methodologies adopted by the Highway Capacity Manual and Synchro software. Consultant will use the
calculated cycle lengths to develop optimized signal timing plans for all project intersections.
TruTraffic will be used to augment the coordination green band on each project corridor. The SimTraffic
simulation will then be carefully observed to identify areas needing special operational analysis. Locations noted
to have existing cross coordination will be analyzed for split and sequence optimization unless otherwise approved
by the City to evaluate whether a different cycle length is recommended.
Our vast experience in Chula Vista allows us to provide value-added services and additional solutions. These
include the development of school/holiday season timing plans and reviews by in-house traffic
responsive/adaptive experts to ensure the optimized plans serve the project goals and objectives for this project.
Subtask 3.2. Basic Timing Parameters
Prior to conducting any signal timing coordination optimizations, Consultant will first perform vehicle and
pedestrian basic timing analysis for all project intersections identified in the scope. The calculation of
recommended basic timing parameters will be based upon the data collected from Task 2, the Data Collection
Task, and in compliance with the latest version of the California Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA
MUTCD) and the City’s timing preference. The timing parameters to be reviewed include the following at a
minimum:
• Minimum Green • Bicycle Minimum Green
• Yellow Change Interval • Red Clearance Interval
• Pedestrian Walk Time • Pedestrian Clearance (Flash Don’t Walk) Time
Subtask 3.3. Adaptive Signal Parameters (28 Locations)
Variable and unpredictable traffic volume changes can pose major challenges for traffic signal operation and
traffic control systems, especially with the uncertainties of post-COVID conditions. In addition to standard
practice in time-based signal coordination, Consultant will conduct the following services to review and optimize
the adaptive timings using the City’s existing ATMS.now/SynchroGreen Central System:
2022/04/26 City Council Post Agenda Page 154 of 667
15 City of Chula Vista Agreement No.: 2022-022
Consultant Name: ITERIS, INC. Rev. 9/15/20
System Assessment – Prior to the optimization of any system parameters, Consultant will first review and
document the existing Intersection Database (timing data that control how SynchroGreen calculates phase
allocation/split, period/cycle, and start time/offset), signal grouping and Section Database, adaptive controller
status at each of the 28 Trafficware V76 controllers, SynchroGreen settings, and detection alarms or constant
error messages if any. Based on system assessment and our past SynchroGreen operation experience, Consultant
will identify and propose the finetuning revisions to SynchroGreen settings for City staff’s review which include:
• Minimum/Maximum Cycle
• Minimum/Maximum Split
• Rate of Change
• Minimum/Maximum Green Band
• Storage Phases
Based on City approval, Consultant will implement and verify the optimized settings through ATMS.now and in
the field. The figure to the right includes a screenshot of the system settings that Mr. Xu and his team members
have set up in one of SynchroGreen adaptive control systems which has been monitored by Consultant since July
2020.
Base Plan Implementation – SynchroGreen requires a valid coordination pattern in order to operate. Based on
optimized timing plans developed under Task 3.1, Consultant will enter the optimized base plans either using the
current pattern numbers or unused pattern slots per City’s preference. The base plans define the cycle, offset,
splits and phase sequencing at each signal where SynchroGreen provide adaptive control. The following will be
verified during the implementation:
• Cycle Length is the same throughout the corridor segments per designed plans
• Cycle length and offset are consistent with optimized Synchro models. Make sure the proposed offsets are
programed using correct offset reference point, so it touches a phase-ring structure barrier
• Assigned splits are valid at intersections with moderate to high pedestrian crossing demands in particular
• Testing of adaptive patterns by using Coordination Diagnostic tool
Critical Movement Optimization – SynchroGreen allows operator to choose one of the following optimization
modes to define overall operation objective and preference for the prevailing traffic patterns or critical turning
movements:
• Balanced Mode
• Progression Mode
• Critical Movement Mode
By default, SynchroGreen equitably distributes green time based upon arriving traffic demand, while providing
reasonable mainline progression bandwidth. Progression mode is typically implemented to favor the traffic flow
along the arterials over the side streets. However, Consultant found that Critical Movement Mode should be
evaluated at those “hot spots” where certain turning movements are near or at capacity and need to be served with
higher priority. Critical Movement Mode can be implemented in conjunction with a separate zone in
SynchroGreen to provide special operation under the same adaptive control system. One of the most recently
applications Consultant implemented is at an intersection of two major crossing arterials in the Orange County
which is in proximity to the freeway ramp signals of SR-57 that are not connected to the city’s SynchroGreen
system. Due to the construction of this freeway interchange, traffic operation along crossing arterial became
higher priority over corridor progression. Consultant set up separate SynchroGreen zone with critical movement
path that helped achieve the queuing management goals between the Caltrans and city’s signals during the
construction while maintaining acceptable progression along the corridor. For this project, Consultant will work
with the City staff to identify and recommend the locations that are suitable for a better operation under Critical

Movement Mode. Based upon the City’s approval, Consultant will assist the City in the implementation and
verification of the new operation mode.
Subtask 3.4. LPI Timing by Others Coordination (16 Locations)
We understand that the LPI will be implemented at 85 intersections within Chula Vista through a separate project
to increase the visibility of pedestrians to turning vehicles and subsequently, to reduce conflicts between
pedestrians and turning vehicles. As part of previous TRF404 Retiming Project, Consultant programmed LPI
intervals in the optimized Synchro models for 69 of these 85 intersections to make sure the implemented
coordination cycles are sufficient to accommodate the planned LPI intervals. Consultant also included the LPI
analysis in the basic timing optimization and recommended that 5-second LPI for the crosswalks where the peak
hour pedestrian volume is higher than 50 per hour and 3 seconds for the other locations with low to moderate
crossing demands.
Consultant also demonstrated alternative ways of Synchro coding of LPI and applied the one that is not the most
convenient but yields the most accurate operational impacts in SimTraffic simulation. For this project, Consultant
will use the same LPI modeling and analysis methodologies and further streamline the timing process by using
our Signal Timing Data Input/QC Spreadsheet tool to automatically calculate the split/forceoff parameters with
the considerations of LPI.
Consultant will also assist the City in updating the timing sheets and datafile (if applicable) to include the LPI
parameters and finetuning of implemented coordination timing plans. Consultant will submit the timing sheets
and datafile and address up to two rounds of review comments. Consultant will be available for any additional
round of City review and addressing comments on time-and-material basis.
Subtask 3.5. Draft Timing Report and Timing Sheets (99 Locations)
Upon the City’s approval of the optimized timing, implementation-ready timing sheets in the City’s preferred
format (e.g., Excel, PDF, Synchro printouts, etc.) will be generated to include updated basic timing, coordinated
timing changes, updated time-of-day schedules, and updated preemption settings if necessary. Under previous
TRF404 Retiming Project, Consultant worked with the City staff to develop and confirm the new format of timing
sheets which help expedite the production and review of timing sheets for this project.
Deliverables
• Basic Timing and Proposed Cycle Length Technical Memorandum
• Synchro File for the Existing Conditions
• Technical memorandum of System Assessment at SynchroGreen Adaptive Control Signals
• Technical memorandum of Timing Implementation at SynchroGreen Adaptive Control Signals
• Synchro File for Optimized Timing Plans
• Draft and Final Timing Sheets
• Response to Comments Matrix
TASK 4 – FIELD IMPLEMENTATION AND FINE TUNING (99 LOCATIONS)
We consider implementation to be the most critical phase of a signal retiming project. To accommodate such an
extensive network, Mr. Xu will lead our implementation team that is staffed with qualified specialists fully trained
in signal retiming projects. Consultant separates the act of implementation and fine turning to ensure each
intersection is operating as planned prior to any fine-tuning efforts. Consultant staff will implement proposed
timing values into the City’s Transparity and ATMS.now central systems for online signals and into field
controllers directly for offline signals. This will also be used as an opportunity to evaluate additional parameters,
such as pedestrian adjustment intervals under coordination plans. Consultant will provide at least two (2) field
team and one (1) central ATMS operator in TMC or through VPN. Each field team consists of one engineer

driving along the corridor for coordination finetuning and one signal specialist that stop by each signal to confirm
the designed timings have been appropriately implemented and accommodate all turning movements to minimize
the changes of civilian complaints.
Consultant will develop and submit an Implementation Plan to document the staged procedure of implementation
and field finetuning. The Plan will include the review procedure of timing data input through central systems as
well as at controllers. The plan should also specify the QC procedure to ensure the consistency between controller
timings, central database, and final timing sheets.
Deliverables
• Timing Implementation and QA/QC Plan
• Implementation and Fine-Tuning Technical Memo
TASK 5 – POST IMPLEMENTATION
Subtask 5.1. Post Implementation Comment Review
Following implementation of the coordination plans, Consultant will initiate a Post Implementation Meeting with
City staff to present implementation results and discuss any concerns and remaining task items. Based upon the
acceptance of implemented timing plans, Consultant will provide continual monitoring services for up to three
(3) months to address the comments received from City staff or citizens and conduct finetuning and field
verification to ensure optimum signal operation for all roadway users.
Subtask 5.2. Final Timing Sheets and Final Signal Timing Reports
Upon completion of the field fine-tuning and resolution of all comments, Consultant will revise the timing values
and deliver updated final timing sheets, reflecting the final signal timing i mplemented at all project locations.
Consultant will update the timing sheet in each cabinet and provide the City with an additional hard copy and an
electronic version as records.

locations, to the satisfaction of the City engineer.
Deliverables
• Post Implementation Meeting
• Response to Comments Matrix
• Final Timing Sheets
• Final Synchro Files
• Final Checklist of Finetuning Timing Plans
• Updated USB datafiles
TASK 6 – BEFORE AND AFTER TRAFFIC STUDY
Instead of tradition travel time studies, Consultant will use Consultant ClearGuide, the data analytics system, to
conduct a travel time comparison “before” and “after” the implementation of new timing plans along four(4) key
corridors per the discussion with City staff for up to 64 directional arterial miles. The following additional services
will be included:
• Real-time travel time and speed data and graphical charts for 18 months
• Arterial performance quarterly report for predefined corridors for 18 months
Additionally, Consultant will perform a travel time “before” study using Tru-Traffic 10.0 software, a GPS unit,
and the floating car method along Telegraph Canyon Road/Otay Lakes Road between I-805 in the west and
2022/04/26 City Council Post Agenda Page 157 of 667
18 City of Chula Vista Agreement No.: 2022-022
Consultant Name: ITERIS, INC. Rev. 9/15/20
Eastlake Parkway in the east. A minimum of five (5) runs will be conducted in each direction to obtain a
statistically valid estimation for the weekday AM and PM peaks. The travel time studies will be conducted before
and after the implementation of proposed timing plans. Measures of effectiveness (MOE) will be compiled from
Tru-Traffic field data as supplementary to the ClearGuide studies.
During the “before” and “after” floating car runs, Consultant will collect the travel time videos along Telegraph
Canyon Road/Otay Lakes Road corridor to illustrate the operational improvement along peak direction. Two (2)
video clips will then be processed to depict the project results through an easy to understand before-and-after
study tool that can be shared with management, officials and the public via the City’s website demonstrating the
effectiveness of signal synchronization.
Consultant will then submit a Final Report to document project background, signal modeling and synchronization,
project benefits, travel time before and after comparison with reference to the MOE elements and a cost -benefit
analysis, potential low-cost improvements, and findings. To assist the presentation to the public, a two-page Fact
Sheet will also be submitted to present a summary of this project, statistical comparison, and informational
graphics.
Deliverables
• Draft and Final Project Report and a Project Fact Sheet
• Quarterly Monitoring Technical Memorandum
• Before and after study Tru-Traffic Files
• Before and after study Comparison Video Clips
TASK 7 – ADDED VALUE SERVICE
Subtask 7.1. Additional Signals
Consultant team’s past signal synchronization experience and knowledge of Chula Vista signal timing practice
enable more efficient development and implementation of optimized timing plans. This allows us to include signal
retiming at additional signals without extra cost. Consultant proposes to include the following intersections in
the signal retiming study of this project:
• H Street and I-805 NB and SB ramps
• H Street from 4th Avenue to Hilltop if different cycle lengths are determined to synchronize the signals at I-805
ramps and to address the bottleneck at H Street and Hilltop Drive
• E Street and I-805 NB and SB ramps
• L Street and Nacion Avenue
In addition, Consultant is committed to evaluating school traffic conditions and developing separate timing plans
for impacted intersections. As part of this scope of work Consultant will evaluate the impacts from school traffic
and provide special timing plans for the impacted intersections during school hours. Based on the preliminary
review, it is anticipated to be required at eight (8) locations within the project area.

ITEM TITLE
Agreement and Reallocation: Amend the American Rescue Plan Act Spending Plan, Authorize an
Amendment and Subrecipient Agreement with SBCS for the Domestic Violence Program, and Reallocate
Funds for that Purpose
Report Number: 22-0116
Location: No specific geographic location
Department: Development Services
Environmental Notice: The activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the California
Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) State Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section
15060(c)(3) no environmental review is required. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the activity qualifies for
an Exemption pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA State Guidelines.
Recommended Action
Approve a resolution (1) amending the American Rescue Plan Act (“ARPA”) Spending Plan; (2) approving a
subrecipient agreement with the SBCS Domestic Violence Program ; and (3) reallocating funds for that
purpose.
SUMMARY
On May 10, 2021, the U.S. Department of the Treasury announced the launch of the Coronavirus State and
Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (“SLFRF”), established by the ARPA of 2021, to provide $350 billion in
emergency funding for eligible state, local, territorial, and Tribal governments. The Coronavirus State and
Local Fiscal Recovery Funds provide substantial flexibility for each jurisdiction to meet local needs: including
support for households, small businesses, impacted industries, essential workers, and the communities
hardest hit by the crisis. On August 24, 2021, the City Council approved the appropriation of $28.76 million
from the ARPA funds, including an appropriation of $14 million from the ARPA account into Governmental
Funds and the addition of 10.0 positions to the General Fund.
This item seeks to amend the Spending Plan by reallocating $200,000 from the Revenue Recovery Category
to the Public Health Category, more specifically, delivering assistance to victims of domestic violence and
2022/04/26 City Council Post Agenda Page 164 of 667
P a g e | 2
authorizing a $200,000 Subrecipient Agreement with the SBCS Corporation’s (“SBCS”) Domestic Violence
Program.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The proposed activity has been reviewed for compliance with CEQA and it has been determined that the
activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines; therefore, pursuant
to Section 15060(c)3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Although
environmental review is not required at this time, once the scope of potential project(s) has been defined,
environmental review will be required for each project and the appropriate environmental determination
will be made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it has also been determined that the activity qualifies for an
Exemption pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the California Environmental Quality Act State Guidelines.
Thus, no environmental review is required.
BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
Not applicable.
DISCUSSION
ARPA established the SLFRF to assist governments to bolster their response to the COVID-19 pandemic and
its economic impacts by setting the following goals:
Support urgent COVID-19 response efforts to continue to decrease spread of the virus and bring the
pandemic under control.
Replace lost public sector revenue to strengthen support for vital public services and help retain jobs.
Support immediate economic stabilization for households and businesses.
Address systemic public health and economic challenges that have contributed to the inequal impact of
the pandemic on certain populations.
With the launch of the SLFRF, the Treasury released further details on how these funds can be used to
respond to acute pandemic response needs, fill revenue shortfalls among these governments, and support
the communities and populations hardest-hit by the COVID-19 pandemic. Eligible jurisdictions have been
able to access this funding to address immediate pandemic response needs, such as: basic emergency needs,
bringing back jobs, and laying the groundwork for a strong and equitable recovery.
These funds present a significant opportunity for our community to meaningfully address the pandemic’s
disproportionate toll on people of color, people with disabilities, immigrant communities, low-income
households, and other historically marginalized groups, including the homeless population.
On August 21, 2021, City Council approved the formal Spending Plan in the amount of $28.7 million which
represented the first round of ARPA funds received in May 2021. Subsequent to the initial allocation, three
Spending Plan Amendments have been approved as critical needs increase and are identified in response to
the pandemic.
The Amendments include:
Amendment No. 1: Jacobs and Cushman San Diego Food Bank allocation of $100,000 to provide food
distribution services.
2022/04/26 City Council Post Agenda Page 165 of 667
P a g e | 3
Amendment No. 2: Alpha Project, Take Back the Streets, allocation of $100,000 to provide job training
and placement to previously homeless individuals.
Amendment No. 3: Homeless Supportive Services allocation in the amount of $100,000 to support the
City’s Homeless Outreach Team to provide a continuum of services for homeless, at risk and low-income
households.
This proposed Amendment No. 4, would provide $200,000 of ARPA funds and approve an associated
Agreement with SBCS Domestic Violence Program (the “Program”) to continue providing therapeutic
counseling and crisis intervention services to adult and children victims of family violence . The table below
reflects the new proposed allocation of ARPA funds.
The Program provides a Domestic Violence Response Team (“DVRT”) for emergency responses via a 24-hour
assistance hotline with access to:
Emergency shelters;
Strengths-based Assessments and Safety Planning for victims and their children;
Individual counseling and group/family counseling;
Unique therapeutic pre-school (Mi Escuelita); and
On-going case management and support for victims.

The DVRT serves as the entry point for many victims to get the assistance they need to re-build safe, stable,
and healthy lives for themselves and their children. All clients also have access to SBCS’ other programs
including emergency and transitional housing, financial self-sufficiency services, and/or job development.
The ARPA funds will assist SBCS to maintain and respond to a greater volume of calls, which has increased
significantly since the start of the pandemic.
DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council members and has found no property holdings
within 1,000 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)(7) or (8), 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.
CURRENT-YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
There is no current year fiscal impact to the General Fund as a result of this action. All costs associated with
the program are covered by available ARPA funds. Approval of the resolution reallocates $200,000 in ARPA
funds that have been previously appropriated.
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
There is no ongoing fiscal impact to the General Fund as a result of this action. All costs associated with the
program are covered by available ARPA funds.

coverage for higher limits maintained.

ITEM TITLE
Contract: Approve Contract with Ace Parking, Inc. for Third Avenue Parking District Management and
Enforcement for Fiscal Year 2022
Report Number: 22-0122
Location: Third Avenue boarded between E Street, Del Mar Ave, H Street and Garrett Avenue
Department: Finance
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
Recommended Action
Adopt a resolution waiving the competitive bidding process as outlined in Municipal Code Section
2.56.070.B.3, and approving an agreement with Ace Parking, Inc.
SUMMARY
The agreement between the City and Ace Parking for parking management and enforcement services was
amended in July 2020 to extend services until June 2021. Due to unexpected delays and changes in staffing,
the Finance Department would like to extend the current arrangement to allow time to complete an RFP
(Request for Proposal) solicitation. Ace Parking scope of work will remain the same, and the Finance
Department would like to enter a stop-gap contract with ACE independently through the end of fiscal year
2022 to allow services to continue until completion of the RFP process. The RFP solicitation for parking
management and enforcement service for fiscal year 2023 has been advertised and posted.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
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/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
Not applicable
DISCUSSION
Chula Vista Municipal Code Section 10.62.010.B authorizes the City to contract with a duly qualified company
approved by the Chief of Police to provide enforcement of infraction violations of specified chapters of the
Chula Vista Municipal Code: 10.52, stopping, standing, and parking; 10.56, parking meters, parking meter
zones and permit parking; and 10.60, loading zones. The City has contracted for parking management and
enforcement services in the Downtown Parking District since 2009. The City Council awarded Ace Parking
the initial contract for parking management and enforcement services in the Downtown Parking District in
2009, and Ace Parking has provided these services since. The Downtown Parking District is the only parking
district in which the City contracts for parking enforcement. The Downtown Parking District is bordered by
E Street, Del Mar Avenue, H Street and Garrett Avenue. It provides approximately 1,500 parking spaces
through surface parking lots, street metered spaces, and a parking structure.
The agreement between the City and Ace Parking for parking management and enforcement services was
amended in July 2020 to extend services until June 2021. Due to unexpected delays and changes in staffing,
the Finance Department would like to extend the current arrangement to allow time to complete an RFP
(Request for Proposal) solicitation. Ace Parking scope of work will remain the same, and the Finance
Department would like to enter a stop-gap contract with ACE independently through the end of fiscal year
2022 to allow services to continue until completion of the RFP process.
It is anticipated that the revenues generated in the Downtown Parking District are sufficient to cover the
$275,000 expense of the contract that is appropriated in the Parking Meter Fund.
DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council and has found that, Mayor Salas has real property
holdings within the boundaries of the property which is the subject of this action. However, to the extent that
any decision would have a reasonably foreseeable financial effect on the member’s real property, the effect
would be nominal, inconsequential, or insignificant. Consequently, pursuant to California Code of

Service Provider Name: ACE PARKING Rev. 2/4/21
Hours of Operation and Staffing – Ace Parking will enforce Chula Vista Municipal Code 10.62 by issuing
parking citations, collecting parking meter revenues and maintaining parking meters. Enforcement operating
hours are Monday through Saturday from 9:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. At a minimum Contractor/Service Provider will
ensure there is one (1) Enforcement Officer on patrol during metered parking operating hours. Enforcement will
be consistent with scheduled shifts and routes. An Operations Manager will complete every management
responsibility of the parking operation including staffing, training, tracking and collections.
Enforcement Strategies – Contractor/Service Provider will provide consistent enforcement with regularly
scheduled shifts and routes. Contractor will take a proactive approach to the parking enforcement and
maintenance tasks. The Operations Manager will regularly review enforcement officer’s activity to make sure
the average numbers of citations are being issued. Ace will continue to utilize Duncan’s handheld ticket issuing
units to issue violations and upload data to a central server.
Duncan Solutions is an approved subcontractor to consultant that provides services for the issuance, collection,
appeals, and back office processing of parking citations. Contractor will use Galaxy 8 Note Handheld Ticket
Issuance Device. Duncan's AutoPROCESS™ citation processing system is the foundation of the
comprehensive, turnkey parking management solution that manages the entire parking citation lifecycle,
including citation processing, administrative appeals, permit processing, payment processing, scofflaw
identification, enhanced enforcement sanctions such as DMV registration holds, booting, towing, and tax
intercept programs, and all activities in between.
Storefront Office - Contractor operates a storefront office at 321 3rd Avenue in downtown Chula Vista. This
office is open to the public Monday through Thursday from 10am to 2pm and handles all of the public inquiries
for the Downtown Parking District.
Customer Service Hotline (1-800-925-7275) - In addition to the storefront, contractor will provide the public a
hotline number to call and communicate directly with Ace Parking.
Enforcement Routing and Coverage Procedures - The GEM car is currently being used for circulation around
the enforcement area. Ace will continue to use the GEM car. Ace may recommend the replacement of this
vehicle in the future. It will be the City's financial responsibility to replace the vehicle if both parties agree the
vehicle needs to be replaced. Enforcement Staff will patrol on the GEM car and on foot while patrolling the
off-street facilities. Enforcement Staff will patrol designated routes with staggered-time schedules. Their
primary responsibility will be enforcing parking laws and regulations. Ace will continue to patrol the existing
routes and can make adjustments as needed depending on demand.
Meter Cash Collections - Contractor will collect the cash from the meters Monday thru Thursday. Collection
hours will vary between 6am to 10am. Routes will also vary for the safety of the collection officer and security
of the funds. Contractor will use collection systems that are fully "sealed", eliminating access to the money
collected. The staff collecting the cash will differ from enforcement staff and be trained to perform light
maintenance and cleaning of the machines during their rounds.
Bank Deposits - Ace will deposit the cash from the coin collection at least three times per week and transmit the
funds for citations and permits to the City's account on a monthly basis. The monthly deposit will occur no later
than the 15th of the month and will be accompanied by the monthly settlement report.

Thursday and another officer will work Friday and Saturday. They will begin patrol no later than 30 minutes
after the start of their shift and will continue their patrol until at least 30 minutes before the end of their shift.

be available for quarterly meetings or as needed with City’s Contract Administrators to ensure Ace Parking is
performing at expected levels, to identify other opportunities and review financial results for the parking
enforcement. Ace believes the regular interaction between the city officers and our operations team can only
improve communication and the working relationships.

be used in the following way:

ITEM TITLE
Aerial Truck Purchase: Approval of the Purchase of One Pierce Arrow XT 107’ Tractor Drawn Aerial
through Measure P
Report Number: 22-0129
Location: No specific geographic location
Department: Fire
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.
Recommended Action
Adopt a resolution approving the purchase of one Pierce Arrow XT 107’ Tractor Drawn Aerial (TDA) in
compliance with the Measure P Expenditure Plan.
SUMMARY
The Chula Vista Fire Department delivers Fire, Rescue and Emergency Medical Services to Chula Vista
residents, visitors, and employees daily. Emergency response service delivery is provided with several
different types of apparatus, including triple combination pumped/fire engines, aerial ladder trucks, a heavy
rescue, brush engines and command vehicles. The Fire Department continues to replace fire apparatus as
part of the initial phase of the City’s 10-year Measure P Expenditure Plan specific to the Fire Department’s
fire apparatus replacement plan.
The Fire Department is requesting authorization to purchase one (1) Pierce Arrow XT 107’ Tractor Drawn
Aerial (TDA) through its sole source agreement with South Coast Fire Equipment to replace the existing
Aerial Truck that will be transitioned into our reserve fleet.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
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/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The purchase of one (1) Pierce Arrow XT 107’ Tractor Drawn Aerial (TDA) is in compliance with the Measure
P Expenditure Plan.
DISCUSSION
The Fire Department responds to Fire, Rescue and Emergency Medical incidents both within the City and
surrounding jurisdictions. In addition, the Fire Department provides mutual aid assistance throughout the
State of California on a reimbursable basis. These emergency services are provided with each of the
apparatus in our fleet.
As part of the Fire Department’s continued execution of the City’s 10-year Measure P Expenditure Plan
specific to the fire apparatus and equipment replacements, the replacement of one (1) Aerial Truck is
necessary. The replacement of this aerial truck is the continued effort to remain in alignment with the City’s
10-year Measure P expenditure plan. These efforts are significant and provide for improved overall quality,
reliability, cost effectiveness and safety of the fire apparatus fleet.
The Fire Facility Master Plan includes an addendum that details the recommended apparatus replacement
cycles to include 10 to 12 years of frontline service, plus 5 years of reserve service, for a total service life of
17 years. National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standard 1901 on Automotive Fire Apparatus and
other National Fleet Maintenance Organizations recommend large vehicle replacements based on several
criteria to include years of service, mileage, maintenance costs, functional obsolescence, and inability to
obtain prior parts as well as technology and safety improvements. The current aerial ladder truck being
replaced that will be transitioned into reserve status has served 5 years to date on the frontline service. The
current reserve aerial ladder that will subsequently be surveyed out of the Fire Departments fleet has been
in service for 20 years. The manufacturing lead time for an aerial ladder truck is approximately 20-24
months, which would put the years of service for the current aerial ladder truck at 7 years and the reserve
truck at 22 years. The service life of our reserve trucks exceeds current City policy of total service life of 17
years of service. The reserve truck is regularly placed into service for a variety of operations needs. This
truck being in service creates a larger burden on Public Works and the mechanics for the increased
maintenance needed. The replacement of this aerial ladder truck at 5 years of service (7 years of service once
the apparatus is received) will move this truck into our reserve fleet, therefore replacing our reserve truck
that has exceeded its total service life.
This purchase is a sole source purchase with South Coast Fire Equipment for the Pierce manufactured fire
apparatus, pursuant to Chula Vista Municipal Code section 2.56.070.B.4 (unique compatibility
requirements). The Fire Department uses Pierce Manufacturing to purchase frontline operational emergency
response vehicles for several critical reasons:
2022/04/26 City Council Post Agenda Page 210 of 667
P a g e | 3
1. Equipment Standardization: providing the same type of emergency response apparatus is critical to
provide a standard approach to training all personnel. This ensures that our personnel can operate
fire apparatus at a competent level while under duress of emergency response.
2. Safety: Fire personnel are consistently moved from one fire station to another. Maintaining a fleet of
fire apparatus that operate consistently throughout our fleet ensures driver/operators and
firefighters can operate and locate equipment in an efficient and timely manner while working in
emergency situations.
The purchase of these new fire apparatus will continue to improve the overall quality, reliability, cost
effectiveness and safety of the City’s fire apparatus fleet.
The Fire Department has received a quote from South Coast for the purchase of one (1) Pierce Arrow XT 107’
Tractor Drawn Aerial (TDA) for the quoted purchase price of $1,876,620.39, but if ordered before May 1,
2022, would result in a discount of $99,934 or a quoted purchase price of $1,776,686.39. The Fire
Department is recommending a 5% overage of the quoted purchase price without the discount to account
for any change order needs in the manufacturing processes, bringing the total authorized amount to
$1,970,452 to be purchased using the Fire Department Vehicle/Apparatus allocations in the Measure P
Expenditure Plan.
DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and has determined that it is not site-specific and
consequently, the real property holdings of the City Council members do not create 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.
CURRENT-YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact to the General Fund. The total cost to purchase one (1) Pierce Arrow XT 107’ Tractor
Drawn Aerial (TDA) will be funded through the Measure P fund.
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
There is no ongoing fiscal impact to the General Fund. These apparatuses are replacements rather than
additions to our fleet, therefore any fuel and maintenance costs both for the frontline engines and engines
being moved into the reserve fleet will be included in the Department’s ongoing operational budget.

ITEM TITLE
Measure A Public Safety Expenditure Plan: Amend the Measure A Public Safety Expenditure Plan to
Purchase Five Vehicles for the Police Department
Report Number: 22-0132
Location: No specific geographic location
Department: Police
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.
Recommended Action
Adopt a resolution approving the amended Measure A Public Safety Expenditure Plan to purchase five
vehicles for the Police Department and amending the Fiscal Year 2022 expenditure budget for the Measure
A Sales Tax Fund to fund the vehicles out of the Measure A fund. (4/5 Vote Required)
SUMMARY
The Police Department is proposing to amend the Measure A Public Safety Expenditure Plan to add the
following vehicle equipment beginning FY2021-22, in accordance with the Police Department ongoing
operational needs:
1.0 patrol vehicle to address a shortage of vehicles for uniformed supervisor positions previously
added through Measure A.
2.0 unmarked management vehicles for a Police Captain and a new PIO Sergeant, previously added
through Measure A.
2.0 vans to address a shortage of vehicles following the expansion of the Crime Laboratory and the
Property & Evidence unit.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
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;
2022/04/26 City Council Post Agenda Page 214 of 667
P a g e | 2
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/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
During its regular meeting held on April 14, 2022, the Measure A Citizens’ Oversight Committee (COC)
recommended City Council approval of funding five vehicles for the Police Department in fiscal year
2021/2022, based on available fund balance in the Measure A Sales Tax Fund. The COC voted unanimously
in favor of Measure A funding for these five vehicles.
DISCUSSION
With the successful passage of the Measure A Sales Tax, staff is continuing to implement the Public Safety
Expenditure Plan (PSEP). To date, Measure A has provided funding for a total of 41 new sworn and 24 civilian
positions in the Police Department, as outlined in the chart below.

As a matter of routine formula, Measure A funding requests have already included most of the costs involved
in providing necessary equipment, including vehicles, for most positions. As it relates to vehicles, most
positions that have been authorized by Measure A have been in classifications or units that utilize a pooled
vehicle arrangement, whereby a small group of employees share a small pool of vehicles (rather than each
employee being assigned a vehicle on an individual basis). The pooled vehicle arrangement is sufficient for
2022/04/26 City Council Post Agenda Page 215 of 667
P a g e | 3
positions that are spread across a variety of shifts, such as patrol shifts, and for positions that primarily work
in an office setting and do not require vehicles at all times, such as police detectives and some administrative
positions. The pooled vehicle arrangement saves taxpayer resources by reducing expenditures while
maintaining operational effectiveness, and also helps reduce ecological impacts by limiting expansion of the
vehicle fleet unnecessarily.
As it relates to vehicles for Measure A positions, the Police Department’s funding requests already included
a designated formula to add vehicles at a ratio of 1:3 (one vehicle to every three sworn positions). But some
positions are unique. The pooled vehicle arrangement is not appropriate for positions where a vehicle is
required as a function of the to the duties and responsibilities of the position. For these unique positions, an
individually-assigned vehicle is necessary to maintain operational efficiency and effectiveness.
In addition, civilian positions were never included in the designated 1:3 formula since the majority of civilian
positions do not require a vehicle. Here again, some positions are unique and an individually-assigned
vehicle, or the expansion of a pool of vehicles, is necessary for these unique positions.
While most positions that have been added will continue to utilize the pooled vehicle strategy, a limited
number of positions previously added by Measure A were unique and cannot effectively operate with a
pooled vehicle. The vehicles for these positions include the following:
Patrol sergeant vehicle: Between Fiscal Years 2020-2021, Measure A funding was authorized to
add 4.0 patrol sergeants. In Fiscal Year 2021, Measure A funding was also authorized to expand the
Police Department’s Homeless Outreach Team (HOT) by adding one 1.0 Police Agent and 1.0 Peace
Officer. Funding to expand HOT Team vehicles was not included in the original request. In order to
meet the unique vehicle needs of the HOT Team, the Police Department reassigned an existing vehicle
that was originally intended to supplement the fleet of patrol sergeant vehicles. The Police
Department is now seeking funding to replace the reassigned patrol sergeant vehicle.
Captain vehicle: In Fiscal Year 2022, Measure A funding was authorized to add 1.0 Police Captain.
Funding to provide a vehicle for this position was not included in the original funding request. The
roll of a Police Captain requires unique mobility and flexibility to respond to community needs or to
command field incidents or investigations at any time, necessitating an individually-assigned vehicle.
The Police Department is seeking funding to acquire a vehicle for the previously-authorized Police
Captain.
PIO sergeant vehicle: In Fiscal Year 2020, Measure A funding was authorized to add 1.0 Police
Sergeant that was originally anticipated to provide additional supervision of a growing School
Resource Officer (SRO) Unit. Since then a number of circumstances included a pandemic that
impacted schools, a variety of cultural and fiscal circumstances in the community and within sch ool
districts, and changing community expectations has resulted in a reduction of school district funding
that typically offsets the majority of SRO personnel costs. At the same time, communications with
school districts indicated reduced support for the size and role of the SRO unit. As a result this
combination of factors, the size of the SRO unit was not expanded as anticipated and the Police
Sergeant position was no longer necessary. In the aftermath of a number of events between 2020-
2022, changing community expectations made clear the need to dedicate additional resources to
increase transparency, improve public communication and engagement, and enhance relationship-
building and trust-building initiatives. The Police Sergeant position was re-designated to meet this
growing and evolving need by assigning the position as a full-time Public Information Officer. The
2022/04/26 City Council Post Agenda Page 216 of 667
P a g e | 4
roll of the Public Information Sergeant requires mobility and flexibility to respond to field incidents
and community meetings at all hours of the day and night, necessitating an individually-assigned
vehicle. The Police Department is seeking funding to acquire a vehicle for the Public Information
Sergeant
Crime Laboratory van and Evidence Control Unit van: The Police Department’s Crime Laboratory
and Evidence Control Unit (ECU) is responsible for the collection, management, maintenance and
analysis of more than 40,000 evidence transactions each year. The Crime Laboratory was staffed by
2.0 full-time Forensic Specialists, and the ECU was staffed by 2.0 full-time and 3.0 part-time hourly
Property and Evidence Specialists. The units were not meeting federal standards for the
management and maintenance of thousands of items of evidence. In Fiscal Year 2022, Measure A
funding was authorized to increase the size of the Police Department’s Crime Laboratory and ECU by
adding 1.0 Forensic Specialist, 1.0 Property & Evidence Supervisor and 3.0 Property & Evidence
Specialists. The Police Department’s typical programming for vehicles funded by Measure A was
designed for sworn personnel only. As a result, the unique vehicle needs of the expanded Crime
Laboratory and ECU were not included in the original funding request. These units manage the
transport and control of evidence to and from major incident scenes, a variety of crime laboratories,
evidence handling centers and other locations in our region. In order to meet the needs of the
expanded Crime Lab and ECU, the Police Department is seeking funding to expand the small pool of
vehicles currently available to the combined units.
The total costs to purchase and outfit the five vehicles are outlined in the table below.
Figure 2. Cost of Five Proposed Vehicles
5 Police Vehicles FY 21/22 Impact
Patrol Sergeant vehicle $86,900
Police Captain vehicle $67,238
PIO Sergeant vehicle $67,238
Crime Laboratory Van $35,200
Evidence Control Unit Van $63,800
Total Vehicle Purchase & Outfitting $320,376
Because the vehicles will be purchased during the end of fiscal year 2022, the estimated vehicle maintenance
costs (approximately $19,872 per year) will be effective in fiscal year 2023. The Police Department is
requesting funding authorization to provide additional vehicles to these unique positions and units.
The Police Department had also developed a new strategy so that future position requests that are deemed
inappropriate for the 1:3 formula for vehicles acquisition, will include the costs for procur ement and
maintenance of additional vehicles.

ITEM TITLE
Community Facilities District Annexation: Election Regarding Annexation of Otay Ranch Village 3
Neighborhood R-20 into Community Facilities District 97-2
Report Number: 22-0064
Location: Located generally near the intersection of Main Street and Heritage Road, as shown more
particularly on the annexation map.
Department: Development Services
Environmental Notice: The activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the California
Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) State Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section
15060(c)(3) no environmental review is required.
Recommended Action
Conduct the public hearing and adopt resolutions: A) Making certain determinations and authorizing
submittal of the levy of special taxes to the qualified electors within proposed Annexation No. 12 to
Community Facilities District (“CFD 97-2”), Improvement Area “C,” and B) Declaring the results of the special
election relating to the levy of special taxes within Annexation No. 12 to CFD 97-2, Improvement Area “C.”
SUMMARY
In June 2021, the City Council approved amendments to the Otay Ranch Village 3 Sectional Planning Area
(“SPA”) Plan. One of the amendments was to expand the Village 3 SPA boundaries to add an adjacent
property (Neighborhood R-20) owned by the Flat Rock Land Company, LLC (“Developer”) an affiliate of
HomeFed Corporation. A Tentative Map (“TM”) condition of approval required Neighborhood R-20 to be
annexed into two existing maintenance Community Facility Districts (“CFDs”) for long-term maintenance of
landscaping, open space and lands within the Otay Ranch Preserve. The Developer has requested that the
City conduct proceedings to consider annexing Neighborhood R-20 into Improvement Area “C” of CFD 97-2
(“Preserve Maintenance District”).
On March 15, 2022, the City took the first step in the annexation process by declaring its intention to annex
the territory and calling a public hearing relating thereto. Tonight’s actions are the next steps in the formal
proceedings to annex the territory within Otay Ranch Village 3 (referred to as “Annexation No. 12”) into CFD
2022/04/26 City Council Post Agenda Page 222 of 667
P a g e | 2
97-2 and Improvement Area “C” thereof: (a) conducting a public hearing pertaining to the proposed
annexation, and (b) immediately following such public hearing, conducting an election of the qualified
electors of Annexation No. 12 regarding the authorization to levy special taxes within Annexation No. 12 and,
following the canvass of the ballots received, declaring the results of such election.
Special taxes levied within Improvement Area “C” fund the costs of the Resource Monitoring Program as well
as Preserve Operations and Maintenance consistent with the requirements of the Otay Ranch Resource
Management Plan Phases I and II, plus a pro-rata share of Administrative Expenses of CFD 97-2. The City has
retained the services of Willdan Financial Services as special tax consultant and Best, Best and Krieger LLP
as legal counsel to provide assistance during the proceedings. Tonight’s action will complete the formal
proceedings to annex Annexation No. 12 to CFD 97-2 and Improvement Area “C” thereof.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Director of Development Services has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with 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/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
Not applicable.
DISCUSSION
The City Council formed CFD 97-2 in July of 1998 to establish a long-term financing mechanism to monitor
and maintain open space within the Otay Ranch Preserve. CFD 97-2 initially was divided into two
Improvement Areas – Improvement Area “A” and Improvement Area “B.” Improvement Area “A” and
Improvement Area “B” both fund the costs of the Resource Monitoring Program. Improvement Area “B” also
funds costs associated with Preserve Operations and Maintenance. Improvement Area “C” pays for both the
Resource Monitoring Program and Preserve Operations and Maintenance and was formed to include lands
not originally contemplated to be included within the territory of CFD 97-2.
Property to be Annexed
Neighborhood R-20 in Otay Ranch Village 3 (Tentative Map CVT-20-0005) is owned by the Developer and is
proposed to be annexed into CFD 97-2 and developed with 116 multi-family units. Staff has reviewed the
proposed annexation boundary map and has found it acceptable and ready for approval by City Council. The
annexation map is included as Attachment 1.
Proposed Special Tax
The rate and method of apportionment of the special taxes authorized to be levied within the existing
boundaries of CFD 97-2 has four categories of taxation, as follows:
All developed Single-Family and Multi-Family Residences for which a building permit has been issued
are taxed based on the square footage of the structure. Developed Industrial and Commercial parcels
are taxed on the acreage of the Parcel.
2022/04/26 City Council Post Agenda Page 223 of 667
P a g e | 3
All final-mapped residential, industrial and commercial parcels for which a building permit has not
been issued are taxed based on the acreage of the parcel.
Property not categorized as Developed or Final Mapped Property is taxed based on the acreage of the
parcel.
Exempt property includes all publicly owned parcels and Homeowner’s Association parcels. These
are not subject to the special tax.
The proposed maximum special tax rates in the rate and method of apportionment were determined at the
time of formation of CFD 97-2 in 1998.
Maximum Special Taxes
The approved maximum special tax rates for Fiscal Year 2021-2022 for Improvement Area “C” of CFD 97-2
are as follows:
Table 1 – Maximum Special Tax for Monitoring
Special Tax Category Maximum Special Tax (Monitoring)
Category I – Residential (per square foot) $0.0085
Category I – Non-Residential (per acre) $138.72
Category II – Final Mapped Property (per acre) $138.72
Category III – Undeveloped Property (per acre) $89.54
Table 2 – Maximum Special Tax for Operations & Maintenance
Special Tax Category Maximum Special Tax (Operations &
Maintenance)
Category I – Residential (per square foot) $0.0136
Category I – Non-Residential (per acre) $220.23
Category II – Final Mapped Property (per acre) $220.23
Category III – Undeveloped Property (per acre) $142.14
Annually, the City determines the amount that must be generated from the special taxes to meet budgeted
costs plus operating reserves for Improvement Area “C.” The special taxes will first be levied against
developed parcels to satisfy this amount. If insufficient special tax revenue is generated, the special taxes will
then be levied against vacant land within Improvement Area “C,” starting with the Final Mapped Property. If
the City determines that the amount that must be generated from special taxes in any fiscal year is less than
the maximum special tax authorized to be levied on the developed parcels, the actual rate of the special taxes
to be levied in that specific year will be reduced accordingly.
The maximum rates for special taxes shown in the above tables are proposed to be increased each fiscal year,
beginning Fiscal Year 2022-23, by a factor equal to the annual percentage change in the San Diego
Metropolitan Area Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U, All Items) or zero percent (0%),
whichever is greater. The special taxes are proposed to be collected in the same manner and at the same time
2022/04/26 City Council Post Agenda Page 224 of 667
P a g e | 4
as ordinary ad valorem property taxes; provided, however, that the administrator of CFD 97-2 may directly
bill the special tax and may collect special taxes at a different time or in a different manner if necessary.
Description of Tonight’s Proceedings
Tonight’s hearing is being held in accordance with Section 53339.5 et seq. of the California Government Code.
The first step in tonight’s proceeding is the public hearing. If the owners of one-half or more of the area of
land in the territory included in the existing CFD 97-2 or Annexation No. 12 submit written protests against
the annexation, the City will be prohibited from continuing proceedings for at least one year. Otherwise, the
City may submit the question to the qualified electors in Annexation No. 12, which would be the property
owner. The property owner has waived time limitations and requirements to comply with the Elections Code,
as authorized in the CFD Law. Tonight’s action completes Annexation No. 12.
There are two resolutions for this action item, which if approved would do the following:
A) A Resolution making certain determinations and authorizing submittal of the levy of special taxes to
the qualified electors is the formal action making determinations relating to the annexation, setting
forth specific information about the annexation, and calling an election relating to the levy of special
taxes within Annexation No. 12.
B) A Resolution declaring results of the special election provides for the approval of the certificate of
the City Clerk, acting as election official, relating to the canvass of votes on the annexation and, if the
qualified electors approve the annexation, the Resolution would formally approve and authorize the
annexation and the levy of special taxes within Annexation No. 12.
DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council members and has found no property holdings
within 1,000 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)(7) or (8), 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 Councilmember, of
any other fact that may constitute a basis for a decision-maker conflict of interest in this matter.
CURRENT-YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
There are no current year fiscal impacts to the General Fund or Development Services Fund as a result of this
action. All costs of this annexation to the district are being borne by the developer and the on-going
administration will be funded entirely by the district.
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
There is no ongoing fiscal impact to the General Fund or Development Services Fund as a result of this action.
All costs of this annexation to the district are being borne by the developer and the on-going administration
will be funded entirely by the district.

The Maximum Special Tax as shown in the tables abo ve that may be levied on each Assessor’s
Parcel in Improvement Area C, Annexation No. 11, shall be increased each Fiscal Year beginning
in Fiscal Year 2021-2022 and thereafter by a factor equal to the annual percentage change in
the San Diego Metropolitan Area Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U, All
Items) or zero percent (0%), whichever is greater.
D. METHOD OF APPORTIO NMENT OF THE SPECIAL TAX
Commencing with Fiscal Year 2022-2023, and for each following Fiscal Year, the Council shall
levy the Improvement Area C, Annexation No. 11, Special Tax at the rates established pursuant
to steps 1 through 4 below so that the amount of the Special Tax levied equals the Special Tax
Requirement. The Special Tax shall be levied each Fiscal Year as follows:
Step 1: Determine the revenue which could be generated by Parcels assigned to Category I by
multiplying the Building Square Footage for Parcels classified as Residential Parcels by the
Maximum Special Tax per Building Square Foot for the Resource Monitoring Program, and
2022/04/26 City Council Post Agenda Page 233 of 667
7
Preserve Operations and Maintenance for Parcels and adding to that the maximum revenue
which could be generated by multiplying the total acres for Parcels classified as Non-Residential
Parcels by the Maximum Special Tax per Acre for the Resource Monitoring Program, and
Preserve Operations and Maintenance.
Step 2: If the total revenue as calculated in Step 1 is greater than the estimated Special Tax
Liability for Improvement Area C, reduce the Special Tax for each Parcel proportionately so that
the Special Tax levy for the Fiscal Year is equal to the Special Tax Liability for the Fiscal Year.
Step 3: If the total revenue as calculated in Step 1 is less than the Special Tax Liability for
Improvement Area C, a Special Tax shall be levied upon each Parcel within Improvement Area C,
classified as Category II. The Special Tax for Parcels assigned to Category II shall be calculated as
the lesser of:
The Special Tax Liability for Improvement Area C as determined by the City,
less the total revenue generated for all Parcels under Step 1 above, divided by
the total Acres for all Parcels within Improvement Area C assigned to Category
II,
OR
The Maximum Special Tax rate for Parcels assigned to Category II.
Step 4: If the total revenue as calculated in Step 1 and 3 is less than the Special Tax Liability, for
Improvement Area C, a Special Tax shall be levied upon each Parc el within Improvement Area C
classified as Category III. The Special Tax for Parcels assigned the Category III shall b e calculated
as the lesser of:
The Special Tax Liability for Improvement Area C as determined by the City,
less the total revenue generated for all Parcels under Step 1 and 3 above,
divided by the total Acres for all Parcels within Improvement Area C assigned
to Category III,
OR
The Maximum Special Tax rate for Parcels assigned to Category III and within
Improvement Area C.
However, in the event it is determined that the Special Tax Liability for Improvement Area C
includes delinquent Special Taxes from Parcel in Category III from the prior Fiscal Year, the City
shall determine the amount of delinquent taxes that arose from such Parcels and identify the
owner(s). The amount of delinquent Special Taxes, if any, that arose from the applicable
owner(s) shall first be divided by the total Category III Acres owned by such owner(s) and
collected from the applicable owner(s) with the remaining portio n of the Special Tax Liability
not related to delinquent Special Taxes to be collected from all Parcels in Category II I according
to the procedure set forth in the preceding paragraph.
Notwithstanding the above, under no circumstances will the Special Tax levied against any
Assessor’s Parcel of Residential Property or Multi-Family Property for which an occupancy
permit for private residential use has been issued be increased by more than ten percent (10%)
2022/04/26 City Council Post Agenda Page 234 of 667
8
annually up to the Maximum Special Tax as a conseque nce of delinquency or default by the
owner of any other Assessor's Parcel within Area C of the CFD.
E. APPEALS
Any landowner or resident who pays the Special Tax and believes that the amount of the
Special Tax levied on their Assessor’s Parcel is in error shall first consult with the CFD
Administrator regarding such error. If following such consultation, the CFD Administ rator
determines that an error has occurred; the CFD Administrator may amend the amount of the
Special Tax levied on such Assessor’s Parcel. If following such consultation and action, if any, by
the CFD Administrator, the landowner or resident believes such error still exists; such person
may file a written notice with the City Clerk of the City appealing the amount of the Special Tax
levied on such Assessor’s Parcel. Upon the receipt of any such notice, the City Clerk shall
forward a copy of such notice to the City Manager who shall establish as part of the
proceedings and administration of the CFD, a special three-member Review/Appeal Committee.
The Review/Appeal Committee may establish such procedures, as it deems necessary to
undertake the review of any such appeal. The Review/Appeal Committee shall interpret this
Rate and Method of Apportionment and make determinations relative to the ann ual
administration of the Special Tax and any landowner or resident appeals, as herein specified.
The decision of the Review/Appeal Committee shall be final and binding as to all persons.
F. MANNER OF COLLECTION
Special Taxes levied pursuant to Section D above shall be collected in the same manner and at
the same time as ordinary ad valorem property taxes; provided, however, that the CFD
Administrator may directly bill the Special Tax, may collect Special Taxes at a different time or in
a different manner if necessary to meet the financial obligations of Area C of the CFD or as
otherwise determined appropriate by the CFD Administrator.
G. TERM OF SPECIAL TAX
Taxable Property in Improvement Area C of the CFD shall remain subject to the Special Tax in
perpetuity.

that may be levied on all Land Use Classes located on that Assessor’s Parcel. The CFD
Administrator shall determine the allocation to each Land Use Class.
ANNUAL ESCALATION OF MAXIMUM SPECIAL TAX
The Maximum Special Tax as shown in the tables above that may be levied on each Assessor’s
Parcel in Improvement Area C, Annexation No. 11, shall be increased each Fiscal Year beginning
in Fiscal Year 2021-2022 and thereafter by a factor equal to the annual percentage change in
the San Diego Metropolitan Area Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI -U, All
Items) or zero percent (0%), whichever is greater.
D. METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT OF THE SPECIAL TAX
Commencing with Fiscal Year 2022-2023, and for each following Fiscal Year, the Council shall
levy the Improvement Area C, Annexation No. 12, Special Tax at the rates established pursuant
to steps 1 through 4 below so that the amount of the Special Tax levied equals the Special Tax
Requirement. The Special Tax shall be levied each Fiscal Year as follows:
Step 1: Determine the revenue which could be generated by Parcels assigned to Category I by
multiplying the Building Square Footage for Parcels classified as Residential Parcels by the
Maximum Special Tax per Building Square Foot for the Resource Monitoring Program, and
Preserve Operations and Maintenance for Parcels and adding to that the maximum revenue
2022/04/26 City Council Post Agenda Page 249 of 667
Resolution No. 2022-___
Page No. 13
which could be generated by multiplying the total acres for Parcels classified as Non-Residential
Parcels by the Maximum Special Tax per Acre for the Resource Monitoring Program, and
Preserve Operations and Maintenance.
Step 2: If the total revenue as calculated in Step 1 is greater than the estimated Special Tax
Liability for Improvement Area C, reduce the Special Tax for each Parcel proportionately so that
the Special Tax levy for the Fiscal Year is equal to the Special Tax Liability for the Fiscal Year.
Step 3: If the total revenue as calculated in Step 1 is less than the Special Tax Liability for
Improvement Area C, a Special Tax shall be levied upon each Parcel within Improvement Area C,
classified as Category II. The Special Tax for Parcels assigned to Category II shall be calculated as
the lesser of:
The Special Tax Liability for Improvement Area C as determined by the City,
less the total revenue generated for all Parcels under Step 1 above, divided by
the total Acres for all Parcels within Improvement Area C assigned to Categor y
II,
OR
The Maximum Special Tax rate for Parcels assigned to Category II.
Step 4: If the total revenue as calculated in Step 1 and 3 is less than the Special Tax Liability, for
Improvement Area C, a Special Tax shall be levied upon each Parcel within Impr ovement Area C
classified as Category III. The Special Tax for Parcels assigned the Category III shall be calculated
as the lesser of:
The Special Tax Liability for Improvement Area C as determined by the City,
less the total revenue generated for all Parcels under Step 1 and 3 above,
divided by the total Acres for all Parcels within Improvement Area C assigned
to Category III,
OR
The Maximum Special Tax rate for Parcels assigned to Category III and within
Improvement Area C.
However, in the event it is determined that the Special Tax Liability for Improvement Area C
includes delinquent Special Taxes from Parcels in Category III from the prior Fiscal Year, the City
shall determine the amount of delinquent taxes that arose from such Parcels and identify the
owner(s). The amount of delinquent Special Taxes, if any, that arose from the applicable
owner(s) shall first be divided by the total Category III Acres owned by such owner(s) and
collected from the applicable owner(s) with the remaining portion of the Special Tax Liability
not related to delinquent Special Taxes to be collected from all Parcels in Category III according
to the procedure set forth in the preceding paragraph.
Notwithstanding the above, under no circumstances will the Special Tax levied agains t any
Assessor’s Parcel of Residential Property or Multi-Family Property for which an occupancy
permit for private residential use has been issued be increased by more than ten percent (10%)
annually up to the Maximum Special Tax as a consequence of delinq uency or default by the
2022/04/26 City Council Post Agenda Page 250 of 667
Resolution No. 2022-___
Page No. 14
owner of any other Assessor's Parcel within Area C of the CFD.
E. APPEALS
Any landowner or resident who pays the Special Tax and believes that the amount of the
Special Tax levied on their Assessor’s Parcel is in error shall first consult with the CFD
Administrator regarding such error. If following such consultation, the CFD Ad ministrator
determines that an error has occurred; the CFD Administrator may amend the amount of the
Special Tax levied on such Assessor’s Parcel. If following such consultation and action, if any, by
the CFD Administrator, the landowner or resident believes such error still exists; such person
may file a written notice with the City Clerk of the City appealing the amount of the Special Tax
levied on such Assessor’s Parcel. Upon the receipt of any such notice, the City Clerk shall
forward a copy of such notice to the City Manager who shall establish as part of the
proceedings and administration of the CFD, a special three-member Review/Appeal Committee.
The Review/Appeal Committee may establish such procedures, as it deems necessary to
undertake the review of any such appeal. The Review/Appeal Committee shall interpret this
Rate and Method of Apportionment and make determinations relative to the annual
administration of the Special Tax and any landowner or resident appeals, as herein specified.
The decision of the Review/Appeal Committee shall be final and binding as to all persons.
F. MANNER OF COLLECTION
Special Taxes levied pursuant to Section D above shall be collected in the same manner and at
the same time as ordinary ad valorem property taxes; provided, however, that the CFD
Administrator may directly bill the Special Tax, may collect Special Taxes at a different time or in
a different manner if necessary to meet the financial obligations of Area C of the CFD or as
otherwise determined appropriate by the CFD Administrator.
G. TERM OF SPECIAL TAX
Taxable Property in Improvement Area C of the CFD shall remain subject to the Special Tax in
perpetuity.

ITEM TITLE
Community Facilities District Annexation: Election Regarding Annexation of Otay Ranch Village 3
Neighborhood R-20 into Community Facility District 18M
Report Number: 22-0094
Location: Located generally near the intersection of Main Street and Heritage Road, as shown more
particularly on the annexation map
Department: Development Services
Environmental Notice: The activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the California
Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) State Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section
15060(c)(3) no environmental review is required.
Recommended Action
Conduct the public hearing and adopt resolutions: A) Making certain determinations and authorizing
submittal of the levy of special taxes to the qualified electors within proposed Annexation No. 1 to CFD 18M;
and B) Declaring the results of the special election relating to the levy of special taxes within Annexation No.
1 to CFD 18M.
SUMMARY
In June 2021, the City Council approved amendments to the Otay Ranch Village 3 Sectional Planning Area
(“SPA”) Plan. One of the amendments was to expand the Otay Ranch Village 3 SPA boundaries to add an
adjacent property (Neighborhood R-20) owned by the Flat Rock Land Company, LLC (“Developer”) an
affiliate of HomeFed Corporation. A Tentative Map (“TM”) condition of approval required Neighborhood R-
20 to be annexed into two existing maintenance Community Facility Districts (“CFDs”) for long-term
maintenance of landscaping, open space and lands within the Otay Ranch Preserve. The Developer has
requested that the City conduct proceedings to consider annexing Neighborhood R-20 into Community
Facilities District No. 18M (“Otay Ranch Village 3”) (“CFD 18M”).
On March 15, 2022, the City took the first step in the annexation process by declaring its intention to annex
the territory and calling a public hearing relating thereto. Tonight’s actions are the next steps in the formal
proceedings to annex Neighborhood R-20 of Otay Ranch Village 3 (referred to as “Annexation No. 1”) into
2022/04/26 City Council Post Agenda Page 265 of 667
P a g e | 2
CFD No. 18M: (a) conducting a public hearing pertaining to the proposed annexation, and (b) immediately
following such public hearing, conducting an election of the qualified electors of Annexation No. 1 regarding
the authorization to levy special taxes within Annexation No. 1 and, following the canvass of the ballots
received, declaring the results of such election.
Special taxes levied within CFD 18M fund the costs of maintenance and replacement of certain landscaping,
stormwater facilities, walls, fences, and trails, as more particularly described below. The City has retained
the services of Willdan Financial Services as special tax consultant and Best, Best and Krieger LLP as legal
counsel to provide assistance during the proceedings. Tonight’s action will complete the formal proceedings
to annex Annexation No. 1 to CFD 18M.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Director of Development Services has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with 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/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
Not applicable.
DISCUSSION
Background
The Council formed CFD 18M in November of 2016 to fund the costs for maintenance and replacement of
(a) landscaping, including without limitation trees, slopes, parkways, and medians; (b) facilities that are
directly related to storm water quality control; (c) walls and fencing; and (d) trails within Otay Ranch
Village 3 master planned community, in addition to certain administrative expenses.
Property to be Annexed
Neighborhood R-20 in Otay Ranch Village 3 (Tentative Map CVT-20-0005) is owned by the Developer and is
proposed to be annexed into CFD 18M and developed with 116 multi-family units. Staff has reviewed the
proposed annexation boundary map and has found it acceptable and ready for approval by City Council. The
annexation map is included as Attachment 1.
Proposed Special Tax
The rate and method of apportionment calculates the total annual special tax for each parcel based on
budgeted costs for labor, water, and asset replacement, as described more fully below and in the rate and
method of apportionment. CFD 18M has four categories of taxation, as follows:
Single-Family Detached Property
Single-Family Attached Property
Multi-Family Property
Non-Residential Property
2022/04/26 City Council Post Agenda Page 266 of 667
P a g e | 3
The proposed maximum special tax rates in the rate and method of apportionment were determined at the
time of formation of CFD 18M in 2016.
Maximum Special Taxes
Typically, a community facilities district levies a special tax each year that is equal to the total cost of the
services or facilities to be provided in that year. For CFD 18M, the maximum special tax in each year is
calculated based on the “Maximum Special Tax Basis,” which is a formula to consider various cost
components including labor, water, and asset replacement, and calcu late total actual costs for services
funded by CFD 18M. The Fiscal Year 2021-2022 Maximum Special Tax Basis is described and calculated in
the table below:
Land Use Class
Maximum
Special Tax
Basis for
Labor
Maximum
Special Tax
Basis for
Water
Maximum
Special Tax Basis
for Asset
Replacement
Maximum
Special Tax Basis
Single-Family
Detached Property $1,038.98 $409.79 $287.40 $1,736.17
Single-Family
Attached Property $831.18 $327.83 $229.92 $1,388.94
Multi-Family
Property $83.11 $32.77 $23.00 $138.87
Non-Residential
Property $4,155.93 $1,639.17 $1,149.67 $6,944.77
The maximum special tax for Fiscal Year 2021-22 is equal to the Fiscal Year 2021-22 Maximum Special Tax
Basis. The Maximum Special Tax Basis is proposed to increase in subsequent years based on the components
in the table above, as follows:
i. The annual percentage change of the Maximum Special Tax Basis for Labor shall be equal
to the annual percentage change in the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners
and Clerical Workers (CPI-W); and
ii. The annual percentage change of the Maximum Special Tax Basis for Water shall be equal
to the annual percentage change in the Otay Water District Commodity Rate; and
iii. The annual percentage change of the Maximum Special Tax Basis for Asset Replacement
shall be equal to the annual percentage change in the Engineering News Record
Construction Cost Index for the Los Angeles Area.
Although the maximum special tax for Fiscal Year 2021-22 is equal to the Fiscal Year 2021-22 Maximum
Special Tax Basis, this may not always be the case. To protect against volatility in the maximum special tax,
the maximum special tax will increase by a minimum of 2% and by no more than 6% in any year. This will
help make the maximum special tax more predictable for property owners.

The special taxes are proposed to be collected in the same manner and at the same time as ordinary ad
valorem property taxes; provided, however, that the administrator of CFD 18M may directly bill the special
tax and may collect special taxes at a different time or in a different manner if necessary.
Description of Tonight’s Proceedings
Tonight’s hearing is being held in accordance with Section 53339.5 et seq. of the California Government Code.
The first step in tonight’s proceeding is the public hearing. If the owners of one-half or more of the area of
land in the territory included in the existing CFD 18M or Annexation No. 1 submit written protests against
the annexation, the City will be prohibited from continuing proceedings for at least one year. Otherwise, the
City may submit the question to the qualified electors in Annexation No. 1, which would be the property
owner. The property owner has waived time limitations and requirements to comply with the Elections Code,
as authorized in the CFD Law. Tonight’s action completes Annexation No. 1.
There are two resolutions for this action item, which if approved would do the following:
A) The Resolution making certain determinations and authorizing submittal of the levy of special taxes
to the qualified electors is the formal action making determinations relating to the annexation, setting
forth specific information about the annexation, and calling an election relating to the levy of special
taxes within Annexation No. 1.
B) The Resolution declaring results of the special election provides for the approval of the certificate of
the City Clerk, acting as election official, relating to the canvass of votes on the annexation and, if the
qualified electors approve the annexation, the Resolution would formally approve and authorize the
annexation and the levy of special taxes within Annexation No. 1.
DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council members and has found no property holdings
within 1,000 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)(7) or (8), 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 Councilmember, of
any other fact that may constitute a basis for a decision-maker conflict of interest in this matter.
CURRENT-YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
There are no current year fiscal impacts to the General Fund or Development Services Fund as a result of this
action. All costs of this annexation to the district are being borne by the developer and the on-going
administration will be funded entirely by the district.
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
There is no ongoing fiscal impact to the General Fund or Development Services Fund as a result of this action.
All costs of this annexation to the district are being borne by the developer and the on-going administration
will be funded entirely by the district.

error not later than thirty-six (36) months after first having paid the first installment of the Special
Tax that is disputed. If following such consultation, the CFD Administrator determ ines that an
error has occurred, then the CFD Administrator shall take any of the following actions, in order
of priority, in order to correct the error:
(i) Amend the Special Tax levy on the landowner’s Assessor’s Parcel(s) for the current Fiscal
Year prior to the payment date,
(ii) Require the CFD to reimburse the landowner for the amount of the overpayment to the
extent of available CFD funds, or
(iii) Grant a credit against, eliminate or reduce the future Special Taxes on the landowner ’s
2022/04/26 City Council Post Agenda Page 276 of 667
7
Assessor’s Parcel(s) in the amount of the overpayment.
If following such consultation and action by the CFD Administrator the landowner believes such
error still exists, such person may file a written notice of appeal with the City Council. Upon the
receipt of such notice, the City Council or designee may establish such procedures as deemed
necessary to undertake the review of any such appeal. If the City Council or designee determines
an error still exists, the CFD Administrator shall take any of the actions described as (i), (ii) and
(iii) above, in order of priority, in order to correct the error.

designee shall be final.

the same time as ordinary ad valorem property taxes, provided that the CFD Administrator may
directly bill the Special Tax, may collect Special Taxes at a differe nt time or in a different manner
if necessary to meet the financial obligations of the CFD or as otherwise determined appropriate
by the CFD Administrator.
I. TERM OF SPECIAL TAX

ITEM TITLE
Municipal Code Amendment: Amend the Chula Vista Municipal Code Related to Allowing Two-Unit
Developments and Urban Lot Splits, as Required by Senate Bill 9, Recent State Legislation adopted to
Increase Housing Opportunities
Report Number: 22-0095
Location: No specific geographic location
Department: Development Services
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.
Recommended Action
Conduct the public hearing and place an ordinance on first reading to amend various sections in the Chula
Vista Municipal Code related to allowing two-unit developments and urban lot splits, in accordance with
Senate Bill 9. (First Reading)
SUMMARY
On August 30, 2021, the California legislature adopted Senate Bill 9 (“SB 9”) and on September 16, 2021, it
was signed into law by Governor Newsom. The bill took effect on January 1, 2022 and seeks to provide more
housing opportunities to address the critical housing shortage in the state by establishing a state-mandated
local program. As a result, all California jurisdictions must comply with the requirements of the bill whether
or not local jurisdictions pass ordinances implementing SB 9’s requirements.
The new law requires jurisdictions to ministerially approve two-unit developments on single-family
residentially zoned lots as well as allowing an owner of a single-family zoned property to split their single-
family zoned lot into two single-family zoned lots of relatively equal size. Development of up to two dwelling
units would then be allowed on both lots resulting from the split, for a total capacity of four dwelling units
where there used to be only one unit allowed. The four dwelling unit cap also applies if Accessory Dwelling
Units and Junior Accessory Dwelling Units are proposed.
2022/04/26 City Council Post Agenda Page 301 of 667
P a g e | 2
This hearing is being held to consider a draft ordinance which implements SB 9.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Director of Development Services reviewed the proposed legislative act ion for compliance with the
California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) and determined that the action is not a “Project” as defined
under Section 15378 of the CEQA State Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section
15060(c)(3) no environmental review is required. In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Director
of Development Services has also determined that the action is not a “Project” pursuant to Government Codes
Sections 65852.21(j) and 66411.7(n).
BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
On April 13, 2022, the City of Chula Vista Planning Commission recommended adoption of the SB 9
Ordinance amendments by a vote of 5-0-0.
DISCUSSION
SB 9 addresses two separate issues: the development of up to two units on single -family zoned lots (“Two-
Unit Developments”) and the division of existing single-family zoned parcels into two new single-family
zoned lots via a parcel map (“Urban Lot Splits”).
SB 9 allows local jurisdictions to pass their own ordinance which both codifies the requirements of the state
law as well as establishes objective standards by which Two-Unit Developments and Urban Lot Splits may
occur. So long as the City’s objective development and zoning standards do not physically preclude the
construction of up to two units on a lot or preclude each unit from being constructed at a minimum of 800
square feet (“sf”), then the City can establish objective criteria for the program. Likewise, such objective
development or zoning criteria must allow a property owner to split their single-family zoned lot into two
lots, each with a minimum of 1,200 sf.
To comply with the requirements of SB 9, staff has drafted an ordinance amending Chula Vista Municipal
Code (“CVMC”) Chapters 18.18 (Tentative Parcel Maps) and 19.58 (Uses), and Sections 5.68.050 (Short-Term
Rentals – Eligibility), 19.22.020 (R-E – Residential Estate Zone – Permitted Uses) and 19.24.020 (R-1 – Single-
Family Residential Zone – Permitted Uses) (the “Proposed Ordinance”). The following are some of the major
provisions of SB 9 which are reflected in the Proposed Ordinance:
Applicability – Two-Unit Developments and Urban Lot Split parcel maps are allowed on any single -
family zoned parcel which:
o Can accommodate the resulting second unit
o Can accommodate a second lot with a minimum size of 1,200 sf
o Is not subject to an historic designation
o Would not require the elimination of affordable housing units
o Have not already been split by the allowances set forth in SB 9
Number of units and parcels – no more than two dwelling units may be developed on a single-family
zoned lot. Any parcel to be divided through the Urban Lot Split parcel map process must be a
minimum of 2,400 sf in area. Any lot created through an Urban Lot split parcel map cannot be less
than 40% of the original lot’s size. If a parcel is split through the Urban Lot Split parcel map process,
2022/04/26 City Council Post Agenda Page 302 of 667
P a g e | 3
both resulting parcels may have a Two-Unit Development on them for a total of four dwelling units
across the two parcels.
Accessory Dwelling Units and Junior Accessory Dwelling Units – if a parcel is split through the Urban
Lot split parcel map process, and both resulting parcels have Two-Unit Developments on them, no
Accessory Dwelling Units (“ADUs”) or Junior Accessory Dwelling Units (“JADUs”) may be permitted.
If, however, a property owner does not split the parcel and wishes to combine the benefits of SB 9’s
Two-Unit Development and ADU/JADU ordinances, no more than four units, in any combination, may
be permitted on a single-family lot.
Demolition – the provisions of SB 9 cannot be invoked if the resulting Two-Unit Development would
require the demolition of 25% or more of the existing exterior structural walls, unless local
demolition ordinances allow, or the existing units have not been inhabited by a tenant in the last
three years.
Housing – the provisions of SB 9 cannot be invoked if the development of the parcels would require
the demolition or alteration of housing that restricts rents to levels affordable to persons and families
of moderate, low, or very low income; housing that is subject to any form of rent or price control
through a public entity’s valid exercise of its police power; or housing that has been occupied by a
tenant in the last three years.
Setbacks – new units shall comply with the underlying front yard and street-side setbacks as set forth
in the CVMC for single-family zones; side and rear yard setbacks shall have a maximum of four feet
or the setback for the zone, whichever is less.
Easements and Access – a parcel created through an Urban Lot Split parcel map subdivision shall
provide necessary easements required for the provision of public services and facilities to the newly
created lot and shall provide access to or adjoin the public right-of-way for the newly created lot.
Parking – one off-street parking space per unit may be required unless the lot is within one-half mile
of a high-quality transit corridor or transit stop, or on the same block as a car share vehicle.
Occupancy and Short-Term Rentals – an applicant for an Urban Lot Split parcel map must sign an
affidavit stating that they intend to occupy one of the housing units as their principal residence for a
minimum of three years from the date of the approval of said Urban Lot Split parcel map. Per SB 9,
any unit created through the Two-Unit Development process must be used for residential purposes
only and if rented, must be rented for a term of 30-days or longer. These provisions preclude units
created through the Two-Unit Development process from being used for commercial purposes or
being operated as Short-Term Rentals.
Covenant – Staff has included a provision in the proposed ordinance requiring property owners to
record a covenant against their property detailing the owner occupancy requirements, as well as the
permitted sizes and attributes of the units and parcels, and minimum rental restrictions.
2022/04/26 City Council Post Agenda Page 303 of 667
P a g e | 4
Housing Element Inventory – the number of dwelling units constructed, and the number of Urban Lot
Split applications received pursuant to this ordinance shall be included in the Housing Element
reporting process during the 2021-2029 Housing Element cycle.
Conclusion
Staff recommends that the City Council place the Proposed Ordinance amending CVMC Chapters 18.18 and
19.58; and Sections 5.68.050, 19.22.020 and 19.24.020 on first reading.
DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and has determined that it is not site-specific and
consequently, the real property holdings of the City Council members do not create a disqualifying real
property-related financial conflict of interest under the California 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.
CURRENT-YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
There is no current fiscal year impact to the General Fund or Development Services Fund as a result of the
adoption and implementation of the Proposed Ordinance.
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
All future costs incurred processing Two-Unit Developments and Urban Lot Splits will be borne by the project
applicants, resulting in no net fiscal impact to the General Fund or Development Services Fund.
SB 9 was designed to encourage additional residential development in single-family zoned neighborhoods.
As this development occurs, the City’s General Fund will be incrementally impacted, with fiscal impacts
varying by project. While additional revenues can be expected based upon the valuation of the improvements
constructed and the resulting ad valorem property taxes, as well as sales tax generated by the discretionary
spending of additional residents, these revenues will likely be offset by the associated increase in demand
for City services. Net impacts are not anticipated to be significant but will be difficult to quantify.

ITEM TITLE
Military Equipment Policy: Consideration of approving the Chula Vista Police Department’s Military
Equipment Policy
Report Number: 22-0123
Location: No specific geographic location
Department: Police
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.
Recommended Action
Conduct the public hearing and place an ordinance on first reading approving the Police Department’s
Military Equipment Policy. (First Reading)
SUMMARY
On September 30, 2021, the Governor of the State of California approved Assembly Bill (AB) 481, “Funding,
Acquisition and Use of Military Equipment,” which is codified in Chapter 12.8 of the California Government
Code, Sections 7070 to 7075. This Chapter requires a law enforcement agency to obtain annual approval of
a military equipment policy by its governing body before it may seek funding for, acquire new, or use existing
military equipment.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
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/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
2022/04/26 City Council Post Agenda Page 336 of 667
P a g e | 2
Not applicable.
DISCUSSION
On September 30, 2021 the Governor of the State of California approved AB 481, requiring law enforcement
agencies to obtain approval of a military equipment policy by the applicable governing body. The Police
Department is required to seek approval of this military equipment use policy from the governing body at a
regular open meeting prior to the Department taking certain actions relating to the funding, acquisition, or
use of military equipment, as defined.
The bill allows the governing body to approve the policy only if it determines that the military equipment
meets specified standards. The policy is subject to annual review by the governing body to determine
whether, based on annual military equipment report, the standards set forth in the approving policy have
been met. The governing body may renew the authorizing policy, disapprove authorization for particular
military equipment where standards have not been met, or require modifications to this military equipment
use policy to address any non-compliance with standards.
The bill requires publication of the agency’s military equipment use policy and the annual military equipment
report on the agency’s website. The Chula Vista Police Department posted the proposed Military Equipment
Policy, designated as Number 714 in its Department Policy Ma nual, on its website on March 28, 2022, 30
days before submitting the policy to the Chula Vista City Council for its consideration and approval on April
26, 2022, as required by California Government Code Section 7071(b), and the Department’s webpage also
provided a link for public comments and questions on the proposed policy.
The Chula Vista Police Department’s Military Equipment Policy, which is 9 pages with a 28-page attachment
listing the Department’s military equipment with photos, meets all the requirements of California
Government Code 7070(d). Specifically, it is a written document that governs the Department’s use of
military equipment; describes each type of military equipment by quantity and capability, expected lifespan
and manufacturer product description; addresses the purposes and authorized use for each type of listed
equipment; addresses fiscal impact, including initial cost and annual maintenance costs; addresses the legal
and procedural rules that govern authorized use and training required before use to ensure the full
protection of the public’s welfare, safety, civil rights and civil liberties; requires compliance with the policy,
addresses mechanisms to ensure compliance with the policy and sanction for policy violations; and
addresses the procedures for registering public complaints, concerns and questions and timely response to
same.
Additionally, the Police Department’s Military Equipment Policy meets all the requirements of California
Government Code Section 7071(d)(1)(A)-(D): (A) the Department’s military equipment is necessary because
there is no reasonable alternative that can achieve the same objective of officer and civilian safety; (B) the
Department’s proposed military equipment policy will safeguard the public’s welfare, safety, civil rights and
civil liberties; (C) the Department’s existing military equipment was purchased pursuant to the City’s existing
procurement requirements and best-practice protocols and is reasonably cost effective compared to
available alternatives that can achieve the same objective of officer and civilian safety; and (D) prior military
equipment uses complied with existing Department policies as well as the proposed military equipment
policy, any future such uses will be evaluated according to the military equipment policy in effect at the time,
2022/04/26 City Council Post Agenda Page 337 of 667
P a g e | 3
and corrective action will be taken to remedy any future nonconforming uses and to ensure future
compliance.
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.
CURRENT-YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
There is no current-year fiscal impact approving the Police Department’s Military Equipment Policy.
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
The Police Department’s Military Equipment Inventory is outlined in Attachment A of the proposed Military
Equipment Policy. During the budget process, ongoing maintenance or repair of this equipment will be
included in the proposed budget. If any additional appropriations are required for this equipment, then City
staff will seek Council approval at that time.

ITEM TITLE
Sewer Rates: Consider Increase to Sewer Rates and Resolution Adopting Sewer Rate Increases and
Approving Other Sewer Rate Study Recommendations
Report Number: 22-0007
Location: No specific geographic location
Department: Engineering
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.
Recommended Action
Adopt a resolution: (1) accepting the Sewer Rate Study (Study); (2) approving the Study’s recommendations
for fiscal years 2021/22 through 2025/26; (3) adopting increased sewer rates and approving amendments
to the Master Fee Schedule; (4) authorizing the pass-through of all future fees and charges imposed for
wholesale charges for sewage treatment or wastewater treatment; (5) approving amendments to City
Council Policy 220-04; (6) authorizing an increase to the service charge revenue allocations to the Sewerage
Facilities Replacement Fund; and (7) appropriating 6 million dollars from the Trunk Sewer Capital Fund to
the Sewer Service Revenue Fund to fund Metro capital expenses. (4/5ths vote required)
SUMMARY
The City completed a comprehensive review of its sewer rates, conducted on behalf of the City by Willdan
Financial Services (Willdan). The purpose of the review was to ensure that sewer rates will continue to
provide adequate funding for the cost of wastewater treatment services outsourced to the City of San Diego’s
Metropolitan Wastewater Sewerage System (Metro), the cost of operating and maintaining the city’s sewer
collection system, investment in the infrastructure needed to provide the service consistent with applicable
federal, state, and local laws, and ensure adequate reserves.
The independent financial consultant, Willdan, prepared the 2021 “Sewer Cost of Service Rate Study” (Study)
after reviewing the current and projected sewer expenses and revenues. The purpose of the review was to
develop a 10-year financial plan with the focus on the first 5-years, identifying the revenues and other
2022/04/26 City Council Post Agenda Page 399 of 667
P a g e | 2
adjustments required to meet the costs of operating and maintaining an adequate sewer system and generate
sufficient revenue for the systems objectives. The specific Study recommendations include the following: (1)
increasing sewer rates to fund the costs of service; (2) implementing pass through rate adjustments for the
expenses from City of San Diego Metropolitan Wastewater (Metro); (3) rescinding the US EPA Permit
Renewal Liability Reserve (Permit Reserve) category; (4) increasing the service charge revenue allocations
to the Sewerage Facilities Replacement Fund; and (5) allocating $6 million from the Trunk Sewer Capital
Fund for payment of a portion of the Metro capital expenses in FY2022/23. The proposed amended Master
Fee Schedule Chapter 12-200 and Policy 220-04 updates are also recommended for approval.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
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/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
Not applicable.
DISCUSSION
BACKGROUND
The City provides sewer service to about 50,000 residential and commercial customers. Monthly sewer rates
charged to system users (customers) are the primary source of revenue to operate and maintain the sewer
system and are used for this purpose. Sewer rate revenue provides funding for operation and maintenance
of the City-owned sewer collection and conveyance facilities, capital projects, debt service, administration,
as well as costs related to prudent long-term operation and financial management of the utility system, such
as maintaining adequate reserves and planning for contingencies. Since the City does not operate its own
wastewater treatment facilities, sewer rate revenue is used to pay for wastewater treatment provided by the
City of San Diego Metropolitan Wastewater Authority (Metro).
The City provides wastewater services as a self-supporting utility enterprise. The revenue generated by the
collection of sewer fees is solely used to cover sewer related expenses, including the cost of operating and
maintaining the wastewater infrastructure (sewer pipelines, maintenance holes, pump stations, etc.) owned
by the City, charges for wastewater treatment services outsourced to Metro, the cost of system improvement
projects and the administrative costs such as billing services. As described in more detail in this report
several recommendations are proposed for the 5-year Study period (FY2021/22-FY2025/26) to address the
regional system expenses, aging infrastructure, and increases in overall expenses. These recommendations
include the following: (1) increasing the sewer rates to fund the costs of service; (2) implementing pass
through rate adjustments for the expenses from City of San Diego Metropolitan Wastewater (Metro); (3)
rescinding the US EPA Permit Renewal Liability Reserve (Permit Reserve) category; (4) increasing the
service charge revenue allocations to the Sewerage Facilities Replacement Fund; and (5) allocating $6 million
from the Trunk Sewer Capital Fund to the Sewer Service Revenue Fund for payment of a portion of the Metro

capital expenses in FY2022/23. An update to the Master Fee Schedule Chapter 12-200 and City Council
Policy 220-04 are also recommended for approval.
Ordinance 3155 allows the existing sewer rate to remain unchanged if fiscally prudent. After staff evaluated
the enterprise funds and revenues, sewer rates have remained unchanged since July 1, 2018. As outlined in
more detail below, staff now recommends implementing increases to the City’s sewer rates in accordance
with the Study’s recommendations.
BASIS OF SEWER RATE INCREASE
In 2021, a financial rate study was completed by Willdan, an independent third-party financial consultant, to
evaluate the financial condition of the sewer utility, specifically the ability of current sewer rates to generate
sufficient revenue to cover the costs of the sewer utility. The proposed sewer rate increases are needed to
fund the operation of the sewer utility, including costs to fund future capital expenditures, increased costs
related to operations and maintenance and increasing payments for tre atment costs from the City of San
Diego’s Metro. In order to meet the projected costs identified in the Study, the proposed rate changes include
zero change through June 30, 2022, followed by a rate increase of 4.5% starting July 1, 2022, an additional
increase of 5% starting July 1, 2023, an additional increase of 5% starting July 1, 2024, and an additional
increase of 5.5% starting July 1, 2025.
SEWER SERVICE CHARGE
The City’s Sewer Service Charge represents the ongoing charges to the sewer customers for use of the sewer.
The Sewer Service Charge is structured around a fixed service charge and a variable commodity charge.
The fixed service charge of the fee helps stabilize revenues from year to year, improving the utility’s ability
to plan financially. The variable commodity charge of the rate is established based on volume of potable
water usage with a rate of return component to account for water not returning to the sewer. Water usage
is metered by the property’s water supplier.
The rate of return was established in a prior rate study for the City’s different customer classes. Subsequent
rate studies provided reviews of the rate formulas and no recommendation has been made for rate of return
adjustments. The rate of return is 90% for all customer classes except for multifamily. All multifamily
potable water rate of return to sewer is assumed to be 79% except for mobile homes which are at 84%.
For the variable commodity charge, monthly usage along with the rate of return to the sewer is used. The
City uses the winter average, or the average of the lowest two consecutive winter months (November
through April), for single family residential customers to represent the monthly water consumption. This is
a commonly used metric to represent indoor water usage in California.
The sewer billing equation used to calculate fees for single family residential customers is as follows:
The sewer service charge revenue goes into one of two sewer funds (1) Sewerage Facilities Replacement
Fund – used for capital projects (rehabilitation and replacement of the sewer) and (2) Sewer Services
2022/04/26 City Council Post Agenda Page 401 of 667
P a g e | 4
Revenue Fund – used mainly for the operations and maintenance of the system including the treatment of
sewage by the City of San Diego.
Note that the storm drain fee is included in the bills with the sewer service charge, but is a separate fee which
was not evaluated in this study. The details of the storm drain fee can be found in the City’s Master Fee
Schedule. Additionally, there are other sewer revenues and sewer funds which were not evaluated in the
Study because they are one-time fees (e.g. physically connecting to the system or the cost to purchase
capacity in the system).
SEWER STUDY RECOMMENDATIONS
In December of 2018, the City retained Willdan to prepare the “Sewer Cost of Service Rate Study” completed
in July 2021 (Study) (Attachment A). The Study made several recommendations for revenue projections to
meet the utility’s projected obligations during the next five fiscal years (FY2021/2022 to FY2025/2026).
Additionally, the Study included projections over a ten-year period to provide for the continued fiscal health
of the utility. Before reviewing each recommendation, the Study evaluated the ability of the current revenues
to meet projected expenses.
The Study identified an annual deficit of $6 to $9 million and that the fund balance decrease would not meet
the minimum reserve targets required.
The Study proposes the following recommendations to meet projected expenses and reserve targets while
stabilizing rates:
1. Increase the sewer rates to adequately fund the costs of service
2. Implement pass through rate adjustments for the expenses from City of San Diego Metropolitan
Wastewater (Metro)
3. Rescind the US EPA Permit Renewal Liability Reserve (Permit Reserve) category
4. Increase the service charge revenue allocations to the Sewerage Facilities Replacement Fund
5. Allocation of $6 million from the Trunk Sewer Capital Fund to the Sewer Service Revenue Fund
for payment of a portion of the Metro capital expenses in FY2022/23
Increase the Sewer Service Charge (Sewer Rates)
The costs to provide sewer service have increased due to several factors including higher energy,
construction, material, and labor costs. As such, additional revenue is required from the sewer service
charges and the Study proposes the increases necessary to adequately cover the increased costs to be 4.5%
to 5.5% per year starting July 1, 2022. The proposed increases are included Table 2 (Study Table 4-7).

P a g e | 5
Metro Cost Pass Through or Direct Cost Recovery
The final proposed recommendation is to implement a Metro Pass Through or Direct Cost Recovery for the
City of San Diego Metro Costs. The reason for the direct recovery is to ensure that actual costs are reflected
more accurately and timely in the sewer rates. In prior rate studies, City of San Diego expenses were
projected and set for the entire rate study period (up to 5-years). The proposed recommendation for direct
cost recovery allows for annual adjustments for the City of San Diego actual billings. Each year the actual
City of San Diego billing costs will be compared with the projected costs included in the rate study.
2022/04/26 City Council Post Agenda Page 403 of 667

Differences will be reflected in a rate adjustment the following year. This ensures that rates remain smooth,
reducing large spikes at the end of the rate period in 2026. Most of the sewer utilities using the Metro
facilities have already adopted this approach which is commonly referred to as a pass through. Customers
will be noticed at least 30 days prior to the changes.
Removal of the Permit Reserve
The Permit Reserve Category was established on December 17, 2013, by City Council Resolution No. 2013-
265, approving Policy 220-04, to ensure adequate monies would be available to fund the anticipated capital
needs by Metro associated with maintaining the Point Loma Wastewater Treatment Plant (PLWWTP). At
the time the reserve was established, Metro’s PLWWTP permit waiver was being considered for renewal. If
denied, Metro would need to develop and implement improvements to achieve secondary treatment level at
PLWWTP.
If the waiver was not granted, the estimated costs of adding secondary level treatment was expected to be
over $1 billion in capital costs (2013 preliminary estimate). Of this, Chula Vista would be responsible for
about 10%. In addition, the timing for when Chula Vista’s share of their capital costs would be required by
Metro was still uncertain. By actively establishing a reserve and planning for the upgrades to the regional
treatment plant or alternative, Chula Vista would be in a stronger financial position to afford such costs while
mitigating impacts to rate payers.
In the time since this reserve was established, the capital improvements need for the PLWWTP permit waiver
have been identified and cost sharing established. Additionally, the City of San Diego provided five‐year
projections for the City’s anticipated contributions. The City of San Diego’s annual five‐year cost projections
eliminates the need for the City to maintain a large cash reserve on hand.
For the Rate Study and proposed rate increases, the City’s share of the Metro upgrade costs is included.
Another reason for eliminating the reserve category is that the Study’s proposed recommendations include
pass-through rate adjustments to account for fluctuations in Metro Costs. The pass through rate adjustments
are described in more detail later in this report.
Adoption of the resolution would also approve changes to City Council Policy Number 220-04, Sewer Service
Revenue Fund Reserve Policy to remove the Permit Reserve category. The proposed changes to the policy
can be found in Attachment B.
2. Increase Allocations to the Sewerage Facilities Replacement Fund
The Study recommended that annual revenues into the Sewerage Facilities Replacement (SFR) Fund equal
annual depreciation to ensure monies would be available for the system’s capital needs. The prior Study
included an annual revenue target of about 50% of annual depreciation. The increase in allocation of revenue
to the SFR Fund was recommended over a ten-year period to maintain rate stability. An adequately funded
repair, rehabilitation and replacement program helps to ensure a well‐functioning, more reliable system with
minimal costly unanticipated major repairs. The recommended allocation is shown in Table 1.
Table 1. Fund Allocation for Sewer Service Charge (Study Table 4-6)
2022/04/26 City Council Post Agenda Page 404 of 667

3. Money from Trunk Sewer Capital Fund
The Trunk Sewer Capital Fund represents revenue from capacity fees; the cost for new customers to buy into
the sewer system. Per Chula Vista Municipal Code 3.14.010, the Trunk Sewer Capital Fund can be used for
enlargement of sewer facilities and planning of area‐wide sewage treatment and/or reclamation systems or
facilities. With City Council approval, the money can be used for construction of sewage collection or
treatment facilities. The cash balance of the Trunk Sewer Capital Fund as of June 30, 2020 was $64.8 million.
The Study recommended that $6 million be used from the Trunk Sewer Capital Fund to pay for the capital
project expenses during the Study Period to offset the amount used from the Sewer Service Revenue Fund.
Staff is recommending that the $6 million be used the first year of the rate approval, FY 2022/23.
Authorization of the use of the $6 million in FY2022/23 for the regional capital Metro expenses requires a
4/5ths vote by City Council.
The use of the money from the Trunk Sewer Capital Fund meets the criteria of the fund use and is critical to
ensuring the minimum reserve levels can be maintained.
REGIONAL RATE COMPARISON
Chula Vista’s sewer rates remain some of the lowest in the region. While acknowledging that every agency’s
cost for operating its wastewater collection system varies in accordance with its unique characteristics (size,
age of system, etc.), Graph 1 compares the residential sewer bills from sewer utilities in the region. Shown
are current rates for an average single-family sewer customer consuming 7 hundred cubic feet of water per
month, for 2021. Both the current and proposed Chula Vista rates are included in the graph.
Customers can have some influence on their individual sewer bill by actively monitoring and cons erving
potable water usage. Residential customers with volume rates based on the winter average benefit from
conserving during the winter months of November through April.
Graph 1. Regional Monthly Single-Family Residential Bill (Average Water Consumption, 7 HCF)

The graph was updated in September 2021. The proposed effective date for the proposed rate increases is
July 1, 2022.
IMPACT TO RATE PAYER
The impact to the ratepayer would vary depending on their individual water consumption. The following is
a sample bill calculation showing the actual dollar increase per year as the new rates are implemented. The
sample calculation in Table 3 reflects three different customer classes (single family, multi-family, and
commercial).

COMMUNITY OUTREACH
Hard copy mailers. A formal Proposition 218 Notice of Public Hearing in both English and Spanish was mailed
on November 22, 2021 to sewer customers based on billing record addresses. Notices went to both t he
service address and the owners addresses. The Sewer Rate Public Hearing date of February 8, 2022, noticed
2022/04/26 City Council Post Agenda Page 406 of 667
P a g e | 9
in the November mailing was delayed after determining the use of owner addresses from County Tax
Assessor Records is a more reliable means of reaching property owners.
A revised Proposition 218 Notice of Public Hearing was mailed using addresses from official County Tax
Assessor Records. It was cross referenced with all the addresses in the initial mailing and both addresses
from the Tax Assessor received a notice and addresses from the initial mailing received the second notice
both. The mailing was sent February 10, 2022, which included 4 weeks to review and re -mail any
undeliverable parcels, while ensuring the 45-day notice period would apply to re-mailing. Return mail
received from the second mailing was reviewed and reasonable efforts were made to remail with a corrected
address or forwarding address. Corrected and/or forwarded mail was sent out prior to March 11, 2022,
more than 45 days prior to the Public Hearing on April 26, 2022. Copies of the first and second mailing are
included in Attachment C. All notices were sent in both English and Spanish.
Informational Meetings. Public outreach meetings were held virtually on December 8 and 14, 2021, to ensure
the safety of the public and staff. Details of the informational meetings were included in notices mailed on
November 22, 2021, on the City’s website (www.chulavistaca.gov/SewerRates) social media, and the City’s
calendar. The events were advertised in the Star News on December 10.
Website Presence. The City’s website (www.chulavistaca.gov/SewerRates), which is available in over 100
different languages through a site toggle, was updated with:
1. Notices of the sewer rate increase in English and Spanish
2. Instructions on how to file a protest and sample protest forms
3. Public information event links
4. Frequently Asked Questions
5. Water conservation information
A copy of the website is included as Attachment D.
Newspaper. Information on the Sewer Rate increase and public outreach events in December was published
in the December 10, 2021 Star News.
Social Media. Several social media information postings were offered regarding the sewer rate information
events and Public Hearing.
REGULATORY COMPLIANCE
The City’s ability to increase sewer fees is governed by Proposition 218, which requires written notice of (i)
the location, time and date of the public hearing; (ii) the amount of the proposed fee increase; and (iii) the
reasons and basis for the proposed fee increase. The City provided written notice to the affected property
owners and rate payers. The notice included information on the public outreach meetings, frequently asked
questions, sample calculations and information on how to obtain assistance from City staff regarding
questions related to the proposed increase. A copy of the notices for the February 8, 2022 Public Hearing
and the April 26, 2022 Public Hearing are included in Attachment C.
Proposition 218 requires that the City hold a “majority protest” public hearing prior to implementing an
increase. If written protests are submitted for a majority of the affected parcels, the rate increase shall not
be implemented. The number of accounts served by the sewer system is 49,828 as of June 2021. Note that
2022/04/26 City Council Post Agenda Page 407 of 667
P a g e | 10
sewer customer numbers only increase due to the City’s requirements to connect to the sewer. Thus, under
Proposition 218, a majority protest would exist if written protests were submitted by property owners or
customers on behalf of at least 24,915 parcels (a simple majority).
Based on Ordinance 2736, delinquent sewer accounts may have a lien placed on their property to ensure the
payment of the sewer bills. To ensure this remains an available option for delinquencies, the owners of the
properties were provided with the Proposition 218 Notice in addition to billed customers. All property
owners within the jurisdictional area of the City of Chula Vista were noticed using official San Diego County
Tax Assessor addresses.
AMENDMENT OF MASTER FEE
The City’s existing sewer service charges are set forth in the City’s Master Fee Schedule. As these sewer
service charges are amended, the Master Fee Schedule 12-200 would be amended accordingly (Attachment
E).
AMENDMENT OF POLICY 220-04 SEWER SERVICE REVENUE FUND RESERVE POLICY
The City’s reserve policy for the sewer service revenue fund is set forth in Policy 220-04. As the
recommendation is to rescind the Permit Reserve category, Policy 220-04 would be amended accordingly
(Attachment B).
DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and has determined that it is not site-specific and
consequently, the real property holdings of the City Council members do not create 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.
CURRENT-YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
There is no impact to the Sewer Fund in the current fiscal year (FY2021/22) as approval of this action will
affect sewer rate revenues for FY2022/23 through FY2025/26.
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed rate increase is crucial to the City’s ability to operate and maintain the City’s wastewater
collection system in a manner that continues the current high level of service. Approval of this action will
increase sewer rate revenues for FY2022/23 through FY2025/26 to ensure sewer expenses are covered and
reserves met.

Section 1 – Executive Summary
The City of Chula Vista (City) provides sewer service to a population of approximately 275,000. The City’s
sewer enterprise fund is self‐supporting and funds operations and maintenance (O&M) costs, capital
projects including routine repair and replacement of aging system components of the sewer system.
Sewer user rate revenue provides stable secure revenue for the utility and is the primary revenue source.
Revenue from sewer user rates cannot be used for any other general or special purpose. The main
objective of this study was to develop a ten‐year financial plan with a focus on the first five years, that
evaluated the sufficiency of projected revenue over the ten‐year projection period to cover the costs of
operating and maintaining the utility. The financial plan includes recommended rate revenue adjustments
to ensure continued revenue sufficiency and stability. These are discussed in further detail in the body of
this report. The five‐year plan is covered in the balance of this report while the full ten‐year plan can be
found in the appendices.
1.1 Study Overview
The City contracted with Willdan Financial Services (“Willdan”), to complete a sewer rate study comprised
of the following objectives:
Ten‐Year Financial Plan with a Five‐Year Focus: Identify the revenues required by the utility to
meet the respective annual costs of operation and system maintenance.
Recommendations for potential rate increases: Identify where adjustments in future rates may
be necessary to generate sufficient revenue for system objectives and costs.
1.2 Financial Planning Period
This study develops a 10‐year financial plan but focuses on the current year plus the first 5‐years (fiscal
years 2021‐22 through fiscal year 2025‐26), identifying costs such as operating expenses (including costs
related to the San Diego Metropolitan Wastewater Authority Point Loma Treatment Plant), capital
improvement costs and debt financing (should future debt be issued). In addition, a broader outlook (fiscal
years 2021‐22 through fiscal year 2029‐30) is reviewed and included to ensure appropriate reserve
balances are met based on industry standards and the City of Chula Vista’s fiscal policies.

1.3 Financial Management Goals of the City
The establishment of specific financial management goals of a utility is a key step in developing financial
plans that are consistent in approach, based on sound policies, and that will ensure the financial health of
the utility remains strong. The City has established reserve policies for the sewer utility to help ensure
financial stability as well as the continued ability to provide sewer service. The City maintains the
following sewer utility funds:
Sewer Services Revenue Fund (Fund 414) – The fund is mainly for operations and maintenance of
system assets but can also be used to meet capital and planning needs.
Sewer Facilities Replacement (SFR) (Fund 428) – This fund is for capital projects related to the
rehabilitation and replacement of the City’s collection system.
Trunk Sewer Capital Fund (Fund 413) – This fund includes capacity fees paid to the City and
represents the cost of buying into the system for new customers or increased flows. The funds
are to be used to pay the costs and expenses associated with repairing or replacing large trunk
sewer facilities and to enhance the sewer system. With City Council’s approval this fund can be
used for regional treatment facilities.
Sewer Income Fund (Fund 411) – Revenue deposited into this fund is used to pay for lateral
connection infrastructure associated with new connections to the system. New customers pay for
the cost of the connection. Revenues collected for this fund cover the City’s cost to construct the
public wastewater system for new properties through permit fees. These costs are calculated
separately. This fund was not included in the study evaluation.
Sewer Development Impact Fee Fund (Sewer DIF) (Fund 430) – These funds cover capital projects
triggered by new development, including infill or redevelopment. The revenues and expenses
associated with DIF related projects in this fund are DIF funds and are addressed in separate
studies and not included in this study.
Strom Drain Fee (Fund 301) – These funds are used to operate and maintain the City’s storm
drainage system. This fund was not included in the study.
Target reserve policies have been identified within individual funds that the City strives to achieve and
maintain. The current financial management goals of the City are described below in terms of cash reserve
targets. By meeting the cash reserve targets (identified below) the implication is that the revenues and
expenses are also balanced.

Cash Reserve Targets – Sewer Revenue Fund (Fund 414)
In December 2013, City Council approved a reserve policy for the Sewer Services Revenue Fund or Fund
414, which includes five reserve categories; summarized in Table 1‐1.

As of June 30, 2020, Fund 414 had a balance of $48.1 million.
Cash Reserve Targets – Sewer Facilities Replacement (SFR) (Fund 428)
As of June 30, 2020, the Sewer Facilities Replacement Fund (Fund 428) or SFR had a balance of $13.6
million. The generally accepted industry standard reserve target for this type of fund is based on the
annual revenues with the target collection equal to the annual depreciation of its infrastructure. Revenue
equal to annual depreciation helps to ensure that infrastructure is kept reliable as system components
age and can help prevent significant unexpected repairs which can be more costly than routine repair and
replacements of aging system components paid for from an adequately funded annual capital
replacement and rehabilitation reserve. The last rate study set a target for the fund at starting point of
54% of the annual depreciation.
The Sewer Fund depreciation for FY 2019‐20 was $6.5M (per the 2020 Comprehensive Annual Financial
Report (CAFR) page 46). The revenue collected for this fund in FY 2019‐20 was $2.4 million which
represents 36.9% of annual depreciation. This amount falls short both of the goal of matching annual
2022/04/26 City Council Post Agenda Page 415 of 667
4 | Page
depreciation as well as the recommended target from the prior study1. To achieve the target of 54% of
annual depreciation the City would have needed to generate $3.7 million in revenues.
Cash Reserve Targets – Trunk Sewer Capital Fund (Fund 413)
The Trunk Sewer Capital Fund represents revenues collected and held from the payment of fees to offset
the cost to buy into the City of Chula Vista’s sewer system. These funds can be used for enlargement of
sewer facilities and planning of area‐wide sewage treatment and/or reclamation systems or facilities. With
City Council approval, the money can be used for construction of sewage collection or treatment facilities.
The available cash balance of the Trunk Sewer Capital Fund as of June 30, 2020 was $64.8 million. Since
the fund represents the cost to buy into the sewer system, no cash reserve target exists.
1.4 Findings and Recommendations
In developing the financial plan for the sewer utility, it was determined that if the following
recommendations are implemented, the sewer rates charged to customers can remain unchanged for
Fiscal Year 2021‐22 followed by moderate annual increases between 4.5% to 5.5% for the remaining 9
years of the study period (through Fiscal year 2029‐30). The recommendations are:
1. Implement Metro Costs Pass Through – The California Government Code Section 53756 allows for
adjustments that pass through the increases and decreases in wholesale charges for sewage
treatment.
2. Rescind the Permit Liability Reserve (or EPA Liability Reserve or EPA Reserve) ‐ The
implementation of the Metro Costs Pass Through along with other factors described in more
detail in later sections allow for the removal of the EPA Liability Reserve. The amount of revenue
collected to meet this reserve was targeted at $1.8 million based on assumptions from the 2013
Rate Study. Removal of this reserve amount allows for more available cash and makes possible
the stabilization of customer rates.
3. Increase the Allocation of the Service Charge Revenue to SFR Fund – The reserve goal of the SFR
fund was increased to meet industry standards. The last rate study had a goal of meeting
approximately half of the industry reserve standards. Under the revised goal, more money is
needed for this fund on an annual basis. Thus, the percent of the service charges going into the
1 City of Chula Vista Sewer Cost-of-Service Rate Study November 2013 Prepared by FCS Group.
2022/04/26 City Council Post Agenda Page 416 of 667
5 | Page
SFR fund from the service charges collected from the customers increases. This also means that
less service charge revenue is allocated to Fund 414.
4. Request Council authorize the use of Trunk Sewer Capital Reserve Fund – The Trunk Sewer Capital
Reserve Fund can be used for capital expenses of the sewer system with City Council approval.
The City is working to keep sewer rates reasonable and fair in compliance with Proposition 218.
In the last two years of the five‐year study FY 2024‐25 and FY 2025‐26, the released reserve
amount from the EPA Liability Reserve has been depleted and with expenses outpacing revenues
the reserve targets cannot be met without large increases to rates. Thus, it is recommended that
with City Council approval, money from Fund 413 be used to pay for regional capital sewer
expenses charged by Metro. The result is that less money is needed from Fund 414 to pay for the
City of San Diego Metro costs and the fund can maintain the target balances.
As noted in Table 1‐1, the EPA permit reserve is recommended for removal. When this reserve was initially
adopted, (with an initial target of $1.8 million) an assumption was made that the City of San Diego would
cash fund the capital costs associated with the Point Loma Wastewater Treatment Plant upgrades for
secondary treatment. The reserve was intended to offset the City’s share of the upgrade costs. In the time
since the reserve was established, the City of San Diego has provided the Participating Agencies (on an
annual basis) five‐year projections for the Agencies contributions. In these projections, San Diego is
showing their own debt servicing. San Diego’s change in approach to funding the treatment plant
upgrades eliminates the need for the City to maintain a large cash reserve on hand to pay their one‐time
share of capital costs. Instead, the City’s share of the upgrade costs is budgeted annually in the financial
plan. Another reason for eliminating the reserve is that this study recommends a pass‐through adjustment
mechanism to account for annual fluctuations in Metro Costs which are beyond the City’s control. The
pass through is discussed in more detail later in this report.
It is recommended that the City update the cashflow portion of this study each year. This will help to
ensure projected revenue remains on track over time and is sufficient to fund projected expenses going
forward. This is important as assumptions made during this analysis may change and have a material
impact on the analysis. A summary of the projected rate revenue increases, fund goals and cash balances
are illustrated in Table 1‐2.

(1) It is assumed that in FY 2021‐22 the recommendations are implemented. One
recommendation is the removal of the EPA Liability Reserve which is why the actual ending
balance for Fund 414 appears to be large compared to the target balance in Fund 414.
It should be noted that the City’s current sewer rates developed through the cost‐of‐service analysis in
the prior report2 appear reasonable and meet the requirements of Proposition 218. A more detailed
summary of the rate study is presented in the balance of this report.

Section 2 - Introduction
2.1 Introduction
Willdan Financial Services (“Willdan”) was retained by the City of Chula Vista, California (“City”) to conduct
a Sewer Rate and Financial Study (“Rate Study”) for the City’s sewer utility (“Utility”). This report details
the results of the Rate Study analysis for the forecast period, from the current year through the next five
years, fiscal year (FY) 2021‐22 through FY 2025‐26, the results of which are presented in this Rate Study
Report.
The results of the Rate Study include a 10‐year financial plan and suggested rate adjustments designed to
provide revenue necessary to over time be sufficient to fund the ongoing operating, maintenance and
capital costs necessary to operate the City’s sewer utility, including the costs of treatment incurred by the
City from the San Diego Metropolitan Wastewater Authority, while striving to meet the financial
requirements and goals set forth by the City for the sewer enterprise fund.
Based on discussion with City staff, this report presents the recommended financial plan and adjustments
to meet the City’s objectives.
2.2 Goals and Objectives
The primary goal of the Rate Study was to develop a financial plan that evaluated the adequacy of the
current revenue streams to meet ongoing costs (operations & maintenance and capital), and to maintain
industry standard financially prudent cash reserves. More specifically the Rate Study was undertaken to:
Conduct the analysis in accordance with industry standards consistent Water Environment
Federation (“WEF”) guidelines; and
Develop a financial plan consistent with industry standards and best practices while recognizing
the needs specific to the City.
2.3 Overview of the Rate Study Process
The study involved a determination of the adequacy of system revenues to meet system expenses during
the study forecast period. The result of this analysis, known as the Revenue Sufficiency Analysis, is an
assessment of the ability of the existing revenue stream from sewer service charges (rates) to meet the
2022/04/26 City Council Post Agenda Page 419 of 667
8 | Page
projected financial requirements of the system during the forecast period and, to the extent required, the
identification of the magnitude and timing of any required rate adjustments.
2.4 Organization of this Report
This Rate Study presents an overview of the financial planning concepts employed in the development of
the analysis contained here. The analysis is followed by a discussion of the data, assumptions and results
associated with each component of the analysis. Finally, appendices with detailed schedules are
presented for further investigation and insight into the data, assumptions and calculations which drive
the results presented in this Rate Study. The report is organized as follows:

2.5. Reliance on Data
During this project, the City (and/or its representatives) provided Willdan with a variety of technical
information, including capital cost and demographic data. This data was used by Willdan in the process of
developing the financial plans and recommended rate adjustments. Willdan did not independently assess
or test for the accuracy of such data, historic or projected, but worked with City staff to better verify and
understand the data and its sources and ensure it was incorporated appropriately into the analysis. We
believe it to be the best available information at the time of the study.

Section 3 – Overview of Financial Planning
Principles, Processes, and Issues
3.1 Introduction
The rate study process for the sewer utility begins with a determination of the adequacy of system
revenues to meet system expenses during the study forecast period. The result of this analysis, known as
the Revenue Sufficiency Analysis, is an assessment of the ability of the existing revenue stream to meet
the projected financial requirements of the system during the forecast period and, to the extent required,
the identification of the magnitude and timing of any required rate adjustments.
3.2 The Revenue Sufficiency Process
In order to determine whether existing rates and charges will generate sufficient revenue to meet the
fiscal requirements of the sewer utility, a calculation of the annual rate revenue requirements must be
completed. A Revenue Sufficiency Analysis compares the sufficiency of revenues under existing rates to
meet forecasted costs for operations and maintenance expenses (O&M), debt service (if applicable), and
capital, as well as the accumulation and maintenance of reasonable cash reserves. The purpose of the
comparison is to determine the adequacy of the existing rates to recover the utility’s costs. The analysis
of the maintenance of the cash reserves includes an examination of the projected reserve balance as
compared to the objectives outlined in the City’s reserve policies.
The process employed in the Revenue Sufficiency Analysis involves a rigorous review of operating,
maintenance and capital budgets for the utility, and results in the identification of revenue requirements
of the system, such as operating expenses, capital expenses (minor and major), transfers in and out, and
the maintenance of both restricted and unrestricted reserves at appropriate levels. These revenue
requirements are then compared to the total sources of funds available during each year of the forecast
period to determine the adequacy of projected revenues to meet projected revenue requirements. To the
extent that the existing revenue stream is projected to be insufficient to meet the annual revenue
requirements of the system during the projection period, a series of recommended rate revenue increases
are calculated which if enacted, would provide revenue sufficient to meet those needs.

3.2.1 Determination of the Revenue Requirements
Considerations in Setting Revenue Requirements
There are a multitude of considerations, ranging from financial and policy, to political to legal that must
be analyzed or discussed during the revenue requirements process of a rate analysis. This section provides
an overview of the considerations that are reviewed during this process.
Capital Budgeting and Financing
Capital needs are identified in the City’s Sewer Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) which is updated on an
annual basis. As part of its budget and planning process, the City identified capital improvements that are
necessary for the continued operation of the sewer system. Capital improvement projects typically use
money from the Sewer Facility Replacement Fund which receives revenue from a portion of the sewer
service charges.
Capital Funding: Debt vs. PAYGO
The selection of the appropriate funding strategy for capital projects is primarily a policy decision between
use of cash (“Pay‐as‐you‐go financing” or PAYGO), the issuance of debt, or a combination. PAYGO is the
use or build‐up of cash to fund capital improvements. With debt financing, capital improvements are
funded with borrowed funds (usually through the issuance of bonds) with the obligation of repayment,
typically with interest, in future years. Development of an optimal capital financial plan depends on the
definition of optimal. Each funding mechanism has a different impact on sewer rates in the short and long
run, different net present values, risks, and legal obligations. Due to the borrowing costs associated with
debt, cash funding can be cheaper in the end (by not having to incur interest costs on borrowed money);
however, debt typically ensures greater generational equity for larger and longer lasting capital projects
(by contributing to annual debt payments, new customers who connect to the system help pay for the
infrastructure that was installed prior to their arrival, but still benefits them)3.
The City, as is typical for a public utility, operates its sewer utility on a “cash basis”. Under the “cash basis”
approach, revenues and expenses are recognized at the time physical cash is received or paid out.
3 Willdan Financial Services is not advising or recommending any action be taken by the recipient of this information with respect
to any prospective, new, or existing municipal financial products or issuance of municipal securities (including with respect to the
structure, timing, terms and other similar matters concerning such financial products or issues). The issuance, timing and structure
of new debt issues should be evaluated by the City and their financial advisor.
2022/04/26 City Council Post Agenda Page 423 of 667
12 | Page
Revenue requirements are determined for a specified period of time (in the case of the City an annual
fiscal year), by summing the total anticipated expenses to be paid out during the fiscal year. Where cash
flows and balances are insufficient, the revenue requirements analysis recommends the needed
additional cash flows to meet all funding goals. The two primary categories of expenses are as follows:
• Operations and Maintenance (O&M) expenses, such as salaries and benefits of City utility
personnel, third party costs such as treatment costs billed to the City from the San Diego Metro
Wastewater Authority, transfers out, and reserves; and
• Capital expenses, such as the annual capital improvement program.
3.3 Determination of Revenue Requirements
In order to complete the revenue sufficiency process, it is first necessary to identify the utility’s costs
(revenue requirements).
The process started by identifying the sewer funds, their target balances based on best practices and/or
the City’s fiscal policies, and their actual balances at the beginning of the projection period. There are five
sewer funds and a storm drainage fund, each set up with a different purpose, and which are briefly
described above in Section 1.3.

3.4 Financial Management Goals of the City
The establishment of specific financial management goals of a utility is a key step in developing financial
plans that are consistent in approach, based on sound policies, and that will ensure the financial health of
the utility remains strong. The City has established reserve policies for the sewer utility to help ensure
financial stability as well as the continued ability to provide sewer service. The City maintains the following
sewer utility funds:
2022/04/26 City Council Post Agenda Page 424 of 667
13 | Page
Sewer Service Revenue Fund (Fund 414) – Used to account for a portion of monies collected from
the monthly sewer charge and is used for any and all sewer related activities.
Trunk Sewer Capital Reserve Fund (413) – Used to account for sewerage facility participation fees
received to develop or modify property which will increase the volume of flow to the City’s sewer
system. The funds are to be used to pay the costs and expenses associated with repairing or
replacing large trunk sewer facilities to enhance the capacity of the sewer system.
Sewer Replacement Fund (428) – Funded via a portion of the monthly sewer service charge.
Monies in the fund are restricted for the purpose of paying the costs and expenses associated
with the upgrade or replacement of sewerage facilities.
Target reserve policies have been identified within individual funds that the City strives to achieve and
maintain. The current financial management goals of the City are described below in terms of cash reserve
targets. By meeting the cash reserve targets (identified below) the implication is that the revenues and
expenses are also balanced.
3.4.1 Cash Reserve Targets
Cash Reserve Targets – Sewer Revenue Fund (Fund 414)
In December 2013, City Council approved a reserve policy for the Sewer Services Revenue Fund, which is
summarized in Table 3‐1. The City’s full reserve policies can be found in Appendix B.

As noted in Table 3‐1, the EPA permit reserve is recommended for removal. When this reserve was initially
adopted, an assumption was made that the City of San Diego woul d cash fund the capital costs associated
with the Point Loma Wastewater Treatment Plant upgrades for secondary treatment. The reserve was
intended to offset the City’s share of the upgrade costs. In th e time since the reserve was established, the
City of San Diego has provided the Participating Agencies (on an annual basis) with five‐year projections
for the Agencies contributions. The City of San Diego’s annual five‐year cost projections to Participating
Agencies eliminates the need for the City to maintain a large cash reserve on hand to pay their one‐time
share of capital costs. Instead, the City’s share of the upgrade costs is currently proposed to be budgeted
annually in the financial plan. Another reason for eliminating the reserve is that this study recommends a
pass‐through to account for fluctuations in Metro Costs. The pass through is discussed in more detail later
in this report.

Cash Reserve Targets – Sewer Facilities Replacement (SFR) (Fund 428)
As of June 30, 2020, the Sewer Facilities Replacement Fund (Fund 428) or SFR had a balance of $13.6
million. The generally accepted industry standard reserve target for this type of fund is based on the
annual revenues with the target annual revenue equal to the annual depreciation of its infrastructure.
Revenue equal to annual depreciation helps to ensure that infrastructure is reliable as system components
age and can help prevent significant unexpected repairs which can be more costly than an adequately
funded annual capital replacement and rehabilitation. The last rate study set initiated a target for the
fund at starting point of 54% of the annual depreciation.
The Sewer Fund depreciation for FY 2019‐20 was $6.5M (per the 2020 CAFR page 45). The revenue
collected for this fund in FY 2019‐20 was $2.4 million which represents 36.9% of annual depreciation. To
achieve the target of 54% of annual depreciation the City would have needed to generate $3.7 million in
revenues.
Cash Reserve Targets – Trunk Sewer Capital Fund (Fund 413)
The Trunk Sewer Capital Fund represents funds from fees paid to offset the cost to buy into the City’s
sewer system and can be used for enlargement of sewer facilities and planning of area‐wide sewage
treatment and/or reclamation systems or facilities. With City Council approval, the money can be used for
construction of sewage collection or treatment facilities. The cash balance of the Trunk Sewer Capital
Fund as of June 30, 2020 was $64.8 million. Since the fund represents the cost to buy into the sewer
system, no cash reserve target exists. The 2014 Wastewater Master Plan included an analysis of the
capacity fee; no additional evaluation of this fee was included in this study.

Section 4 – Financial Plan Development and
Results
4.1 Revenue Sufficiency Analysis
The scope of this study included the development of a sewer financial plan for a 10‐year planning period
with a focus on the current year plus a 5‐year planning period encompassing FY 2021‐22 through FY 2025‐
26. While a longer‐range view (10 years) was taken to allow the City to plan for the future, the assumptions
made as of the date of this report will change in the future and some of the changes in assumptions may
be significant. The City’s sewer utility financials should be reviewed and updated regularly (at a minimum
on an annual basis) to make adjustments based on changes in the underlying assumptions on which the
financial plan was built.
4.1.1 General Methodology
The City operates its sewer utility on a cash basis as is typical for a public utility. Under the cash basis
approach, revenues and expenses are recognized at the time physical cash is received or paid out.
Revenue requirements are determined for a specified period of time (in the case of the City an annual
fiscal year), by summing the total anticipated expenses to be paid out during the fiscal year. Where cash
flows and balances are insufficient, the revenue requirements analysis recommends the needed
additional cash flows to meet funding goals.
The primary categories of expenses are as follows:
Operations and Maintenance;
Anticipated debt service;
Targeted reserves; and
Capital expenses.
It should be noted that one of the City’s primary expenses included in operations and maintenance is the
cost to treat wastewater at the City of San Diego Metropolitan Wastewater facilities (Metro). This
accounts for approximately 65% of the City’s overall wastewater expenses.
The primary categories of revenue are as follows:
Sewer Service Charges
2022/04/26 City Council Post Agenda Page 428 of 667
17 | Page
Capacity Fees4
Licenses and Permits
Revenues From Use of Money and Property
In the development of the revenue projections, certain parameters are utilized including growth in
customers and flows.
The City’s budget documents are used as the baseline for revenues and expenses, which are then
projected over a planning horizon. Growth assumptions and prudent financial planning are fundamental
in ensuring adequate rate revenue to promote financial stability.
4.1.2 Data Items
Key data items reviewed, discussed and incorporated into the Revenue Sufficiency Analysis were:
FY 2020‐21 beginning of year cash balances;
Interest earnings;
FY 2020‐21 adopted budgets;
Rate Revenue projections;
Regional Wastewater Disposal Costs/Metro Costs
Capital improvement needs based on City’s plans; and
General assumptions related to:
System growth;
Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Escalation Factors.
A discussion of the use of each of the above data items is presented below.
4.1.3 FY 2020-21 Beginning of Year Cash Balance
To better understand the balance of available funds the City’s utility had on hand to start the forecast
period, a review of the cash balance as of the beginning of FY 2020‐21 was conducted and discussed with

City staff. A summary of the cash balances (cash on hand) assoc iated with the sewer utility enterprise fund
for the beginning of FY 2020‐21, as adjusted for use in this analysis, are summarized in Table 4‐1 below.

Cash Balance $48,147,276 $13,605,982 $64,836,569
The sewer utility enterprise fund for the end of FY 2019‐20 and therefore the beginning of FY 2020‐21, as
adjusted for use in this analysis, is $126,589,827, and is comprised of the cash balances of Fund 414 –
Sewer Service Revenue Fund, Fund 428 – Sewerage Facility Replacement (SFR) Fund and Fund 413 – Trunk
Sewer: Capital Reserve Fund. The cash balance of Fund 414 includes the targeted reserves (working capital
and rate stabilization, emergency and vehicle replacement) identified by City policy and discussed
previously. The cash balance in Fund 413 ($64,836,569) is intended to be used for capital projects to
enlarge sewer facilities and planning for area wide sewage or water reclamation projects and with City
Council approval can be used for planning, design, or construction of sewage collection or treatment or
water reclamation. A further description of cash balances can be found in Appendix C.
4.1.4 Interest Earnings
Through discussions with the City’s finance department a 1.0% interest earnings rate was identified as
being the appropriate rate to calculate interest earnings on the utility’s cash balance (Appendix E).
4.1.5 FY 2020-21 Adopted Budget
Staff provided Willdan with the FY 2020‐21 Budget, including associated line‐item detail. The line‐item
budgeted expenses for FY 2020‐21 were used as the basis for the projection of future budgetary line‐items
for the remainder of the forecast period. Cost escalation factors were reviewed by staff and were used to
project line‐item costs beyond the FY 2020‐21 budget. Those factors were applied based on individual
line‐item cost classifications.
4.1.6 Rate Revenue Projections
For financial planning purposes the financial plan is projected using FY 2020‐21 budgeted revenues as the
starting point. Charges for services were escalated through the study period by system growth and any
2022/04/26 City Council Post Agenda Page 430 of 667
19 | Page
anticipated rate revenue increases. Other revenues were escalated based on system growth while
investment earnings fluctuate from year to year based on cash balances and an assumed interest earnings
rate of 1.0%.
4.1.7 Regional Wastewater Disposal Costs/Metro Costs
The City of San Diego Public Utilities Department (PUD) in January 2019, authorized a five‐year financial
outlook as a guide to long range planning for their Water and Sewer Revenue Funds (Appendix F). Table
5.4 of the document identifies the PUD’s revenue projections from the Joint Power’s Authority
Participating Agencies. The City of Chula Vista’s share represents about 32% of the total cost contribution
from all the Participating Agencies. However, PUD’s agreement with Chula Vista obligates the City to pay
their percentage of actual costs for service and capital expens es. If projected expenditures associated with
the Participating Agencies increase or decrease, this will ultimately be offset by increased or decreased
revenue from the Participating Agencies. Note that Chula Vista’s cost contribution represents
approximately 10% to 12% of the total Metro wastewater expenses.
A portion of the Metro costs are related to capital investment of the treatment system. As discussed
previously, the City’s Fund 413 with Council approval can be used for the construction of sewage collection
or treatment or water reclamation purposes. The financial plan developed for the City projects the need
for revenue increases in years 2 through 10 of 4.5% to 5.5% per year and assumes the use of $6 million of
Capital Reserve Fund balance in FY 2024‐25. It is recommended that rate revenue increases be further
evaluated for the next 5‐year period. Without a rate increase, and assuming the current recommendations
are implemented with the balance of Fund 413 drawing down over years 6 through 10 of the Financial
Plan. These additional drawdowns that would be necessary from Fund 413 would exceed the balance that
is projected for the fund; thus, the balance is not adequate to support the continued drawdown.
4.1.8 Capital Improvements Plan (CIP)
The financial plans contained herein do not anticipate any debt funding of the City’s CIP. The CIP was
provided in current day dollars and has been escalated for future years using a 3‐year compound annual
average (2017‐2019) of the Engineering News Record Construction Cost Index (ENR CCI) at an inflationary
rate of 2.95% (Appendix H). The CIP in current day dollars for FY 2020‐21 through FY 2029‐30 totals
$30,370,000. The value of the CIP with the annual inflator applied for FY 2020‐21 through FY 2029‐30
totals $36,671,351. A summary table of the CIP (in inflated dollars) for the FY 2020‐21 through FY 2025‐
2022/04/26 City Council Post Agenda Page 431 of 667
20 | Page
26 forecast period is presented below in Table 4‐2. The project specific CIP is presented in Schedules A‐6,
in Appendix A.
Generally accepted industry standard best practices suggest that a utility should make an annual
investment in its infrastructure equivalent to annual depreciation, to ensure aging system components
are repaired or replaced on a routine basis, to help minimize breakdowns or failures of deteriorated and
old systems. The Sewer Fund depreciation as identified on page 46 of the FY 2019‐20 CAFR was $6.5
million.
The prior study
5 targeted replacement funding of aging infrastructure at 54% of annual system
depreciation expense of $4.0 million by FY 2018‐19 (page 2). The projected Sewer Facilities Replacement
(SFR) Fee revenue in FY 2018‐19 was $3.9 million (page 9). This study recommends increasing the amount
of the collected revenue going into the SFR Fund from the fees to achieve the annual depreciation funding
amount over a 10‐year period, (based on the projections in this study, it is achieved in FY 2029‐30. With
the recommendation to increase the sewer services fee paid by the customer over time, the effect is a
compounding of the increased amount portion of those charges for service going into the SFR Fund (Fund
428). It is possible to decrease the percentage of charges for service going into the Sewer Service Revenue
Fund because the Trunk Sewer Capital Reserve Fund (Fund 413) can be used to pay the capital expenses
incurred by Metro which are currently being paid from Fund 414.
4.1.9 General Assumptions
In order to develop the financial and rate projections, certain assumptions were made with regard to
elements of the revenue sufficiency analysis. A summary of those assumptions is presented below.

4.1.9.1. System Growth
The City anticipates average annual growth of sewer system customers of approximately 1.20% per year
through 2024 based on Table 3 in the City’s Chula Vista 2019 Annual Residential Growth Forecast
(Appendix D). The model assumes a direct correlation between customer growth and service charge
revenue growth. In other words, it is assumed that service charge revenues will also grow by 1.20% per
year. Since a portion of the revenue collected is based on the volume of potable water consumption,
water conservation initiatives could result in service charge revenue not increasing at the same rate as
customer growth or it may even decrease. The City should continue to monitor the impact of conservation
and adjust revenue projections accordingly. While this study did project system growth, it did not re‐
evaluate customer classifications or characteristics (assumptions of volume and strength of flow) nor did
it project growth to specific customer categories, but rather applied general growth assumptions to all
customer classes.
4.1.9.2. O&M Escalation Factors
Willdan worked with City staff (finance department) to identify reasonable cost escalation factors to be
applied to operations and maintenance expenses in recognition of increasing costs over time.
The City’s finance department identified personnel related cost escalation factors of 2% for salaries, 5%
for health insurance/flex benefits and an average of 4% for pension benefits. In examining the individual
components, the weighted average cost escalation factor is 3%, based on historical line‐item costs
projected for the future using the respective escalation factors (the calculation can be found in Appendix
G).
The City projects supplies and services costs to increase by 8% in 2021, 7% in 2022 and by 2% per year
thereafter.
Utility costs (electricity as an example) are projected to increase at a rate of 5% per year.
Metro costs are projected to increase at 6% per year after the FY 2023‐24 cost estimate based on the
projected cost increase between FY 2022‐23 and FY 2023‐24.
All other O&M expenses are projected to increase at a rate of 2% per year.
4.1.9.3. Results of the Revenue Sufficiency Analysis
After a review of the above‐mentioned data elements, the Revenue Sufficiency Analysis was completed
and is presented herein with recommendations incorporated to show the stabilization of sewer funds.

As noted in Table 4‐3, under the current scenario, expenditures in Fund 414 exceed revenues for FY 2020‐
21 through FY 2024‐25 (see line 10), and as a result, the projected cash balance continues to decline, (see
line 12). In comparing the projected end of year cash balance in line 12 with the minimum target reserve
balance in line 18, the cash balance falls below minimum target reserves beginning in FY 2020‐21. In
examining the financials of Fund 428, the allocation of service charges for facility replacement (line 22)
does not meet the annual depreciation funding target (line 28) for any year of the study period.
4.1.9.4. Revenue Sufficiency Analysis
After a review of the abovementioned data elements and the completion of the initial Revenue Sufficiency
Analysis, recommendations were developed to achieve a more stab ilized sewer fund. As indicated in Table
4‐4 there are rate revenue increases projected for the 5‐year period ending FY 2025‐26 based on the
current projections of revenues and expenses. Revenue increases of 4.5% to 5.5% per year are anticipated
to be necessary throughout the period. However, as mentioned previously, the assumptions used in the
development of the financial plan herein will change in the future, so the City may want to conduct
another comprehensive study in 3 to 5 years to ensure that rate revenue is sufficient to meet ongoing
costs.
The City is recommended to review the financial results and cash balances at least annually and make
adjustments as needed to maintain the financial integrity and viability of the sewer utility. In addition to
the revenue increases are proposed through FY 2029‐30 a shift in the allocation of service charge revenue
between the sewer operating fund (Fund 414) and the sewerage facility replacement fund (Fund 428) is
proposed and discussed in greater detail in the balance of this report. The proposed financial plan
incorporating non‐rate increase recommendations is presented in Table 4‐5.

Table 4‐5 provides a summary of the projected annual revenue requirements for the sewer utility under
the proposed financial plan. As was the case in Table 4‐3, the proposed scenario results in a deficit
between anticipated revenues and anticipated expenses (see line 9) of an average of $3.7 million per year
between FY 2020‐21 and FY 2025‐26. Following the end of the prior rate study period in FY 2018‐19, no
rate increases were implemented, and budgeted expenditures outpaced revenues. As an example, for the
FY 2020‐21 budget, expenditures exceeded revenues by $5.8 million (line 9), with a reliance on the existing
cash balance to absorb the deficit between revenues and expenditures.
The annual deficit is less pronounced in the recommended plan (Table 4‐5 line 9) compared to the current
scenario (Table 4‐3 line 10) as a result of the recommended rate revenue increases. The deficit is higher
than otherwise would be as a result of the recommended change in the allocation of service charge
revenue between the Sewer Services Revenue Fund (Fund 414) and the Sewerage Facility Replacement
Fund (Fund 428) as described above in Section 4.1.7.4. Table 4‐6 illustrates the recommended gradual
shift in the allocation of revenues between the Sewer Services Revenue and Sewerage Facility
Replacement Funds (Funds 414 and 428).
The current (FY 2020‐21) and proposed (FY 2021‐22 through FY 2025‐26) fees are shown in Table 4‐7. The
proposed allocation of charges to the Service Revenue Fund (414) and Sewerage Facility Replacement
Fund (Fund 428) respectively are detailed below in Figure 1. The change in allocation of charges and in
turn revenue, is intended to move closer to meeting the goal of collecting annual revenue equal to annual
depreciation (current depreciation escalated by the CIP escalation factor of 2.95% per year) into Fund 428
and is discussed in the following section: Recommendations Based on the Revenue Sufficiency Analysis.
An examination of line 22 demonstrates a gradual increase in Sewer Facility Replacement Charge revenue
towards the target of matching annual depreciation over a ten‐year period.
The decrease in revenue into the Sewer Services Revenue Fund (Fund 414) means more money is needed
to meet the minimum reserve target (line 18) in FY 2023‐24 and FY 2024‐25. Since Trunk Sewer Capital
Reserve Fund (Fund 413) can be used to fund regional capital projects with City Council approval, it is
recommended to be used to pay a portion of the capital expenses charged by Metro as shown in line 10.
Although it is shown as a transfer, the amount will be paid directly from Trunk Sewer Capital Reserve Fund
(Fund 413) without a formal transfer. With these actions as described in the Recommendations section
the adjusted cash balance (line 13) meets the Minimum Reserve Targets (line 18).

$8.93 per month or an average annual increase of $1.79 per month. As discussed previously, this study
recommends both increases in the City’s service charges to customers as well as a reallocation of the
portion of service charge allocated to Fund 414 and to Fund 28.

4.1.9.5. Proposition 218 Compliance
In conducting the study, the City’s current sewer rate structure developed through the cost‐of‐service
analysis in the prior report6 appear reasonable and meet the requirements of Proposition 218. They are
based upon relative strengths and flows from specific customer categories in the City of Chula Vista, and
the proportional costs of serving those customers based upon these factors. The current study relied
upon the assumptions and data of volume of discharge (flow) and strength characteristics as was
identified in the prior report. This includes maintaining the existing customer classes:
Single Family
Multifamily
Commercial – Low
Commercial – Medium
Commercial ‐ High
It should, however, be noted that the City’s Low‐Income Policy with respect to rates was not evaluated as
part of this study or this report.

Section 5 – Conclusions and Recommendations
5.1 Conclusions
The study was comprised of a longer‐term 10‐year financial analysis but focused on the shorter‐term 5‐
year period. Based on current assumptions rate revenue increases are projected to be necessary in fiscal
year 2021‐22. While no new rate revenue increases are needed in the first year, the analysis described in
this report indicates that the City’s existing charges for service revenue alone will not be sufficient to meet
the ongoing operations and maintenance expenses on an annual basis. Rate increases are projected for
years 2 through 10 of the study period, in addition to the use of Trunk Sewer: Capital Reserve Fund (413)
funds to pay for some of the regional capital costs billed by Metro. A revised allocation of service charge
revenues between the Sewer Service Revenue Fund and the Sewerage Facility Replace Fund (428), will
help to provide the opportunity for rate increases to be phased in over time in smaller increments while
still achieving the City’s financial policies rather than the need for more immediate larger increases.
5.2 Recommendations
The following recommendations were incorporated into the proposed financial plan (Table 4‐5) in order
to meet the outlined goals of Funds 414 and 428.
Elimination of the EPA Reserve
As previously discussed in the Financial Management Goals of the City section, it is recommended that
the City eliminate the current EPA reserve. The assumptions that were made at the time the reserve was
established (primarily the City of San Diego’s cash funding of treatment upgrades) have changed. The City
of San Diego is projected to finance its capital upgrade costs through borrowing and has factored the
financing costs into the Metro Cost projections for the City of Chula Vista and other participating agencies.
The City’s share of upgrade costs is therefore projected to be paid through annual charges assessed by
the City of San Diego eliminating the need for a large cash reserve to pay a one‐time lump sum fee for the
City’s proportionate share of the upgrades. If the EPA reserve were to remain in place the total minimum
reserve target would be significantly higher than is being recommended. The higher reserve would place
additional pressure on future rate increases to achieve the higher target reserve.

Allocation of Service Charge Revenue
As identified in the Financial Management Goals of the City section, it is recommended that the City’s
Sewer Facility Replacement Charge revenue on an annual basis be at a minimum, equivalent to annual
depreciation of system assets. The allocation of service charge revenue to Fund 428 is recommended to
increase incrementally over time in order to match annual system depreciation by FY 2029‐30 (the current
plan achieves the goal in FY 2029‐30). An adequately funded repair and replacement program helps to
ensure a well‐functioning and more reliable system. An annual replacement and rehabilitation program
also helps to minimize costly unanticipated major repairs. The recommended allocation was shown
previously in Table 4‐6.
Stabilize Revenues and Expenses
In both Tables 4‐3 and 4‐5, the expenditures of Fund 414 exceed revenues on an annual basis. As noted
in Table 4‐5, the difference between revenues and expenditures increases as a result of the updating the
allocation of service charge revenue to Fund 428 to meet industry standards. While expenses exceed
revenues initially, by FY 2029‐30, with the proposed recommendations, revenues exceed expenditures
while meeting the minimum reserve policies and goals. Revenue increases are currently projected in 9
years of the financial plan, based on current assumptions. As assumptions become clearer (for example
the direction on Metro funding) a more comprehensive update should be undertaken in the next 3 to 5
years. The ongoing draw down of cash balance requires the use of additional funds in FY 2024‐25. The
Trunk Sewer Capital Fund (Fund 413) had a balance of $64.8 million as of June 30, 2020, which can be
used for sewer treatment or collection capital costs with City Council approval. A portion of this cash
balance could be used to pay Metro capital costs. If City Council approves the use of Fund 413 to pay for
the portion of Metro capital costs, the draw down from Fund 414 would be less, allowing the stated goals
to meet the reserve targets in later years.
Metro Cost Pass Through
The Metro Costs projections used in the development of the financial plan were provided to the City by
the City of San Diego. The City of San Diego Public Utilities D epartment which operates the Metro facilities,
provided projected contributions for the Participating Agencies in January 2019, and an update of the
projections at the May 2020 Metro Technical Advisory Committee Meeting. The increases equate to
approximately 2.5% per year through FY 2024‐25 and are reflected in the financial plan.
2022/04/26 City Council Post Agenda Page 445 of 667
34 | Page
While the financial plan incorporates the best available Metro Cost data as provided by the City of San
Diego there is the potential that the actual costs assessed to the City may change in the future. This could
be the result of a change in the City of San Diego’s operating costs or a result of a change in flows and
strength transmitted by the City to Metro for treatment. Every year the City receives a “true up” of Metro
costs based on the projected flows and Metro Costs compared to the actual flows and strength and costs
incurred by the City. These costs could be materially different from what was projected in the financial
plan, which would have an adverse effect on cashflows and reserves. While the best available information
has been incorporated, if actual costs increase or decrease from projections, we recommend the
implementation of a pass‐through adjustment for the costs to City customers in order to maintain the
financial integrity of the utility. The fixed and volume rates should be increased appropriately,
commensurate with the increase or decrease in Metro Costs. As noted previously, a portion of the fixed
charge provides funding for the Sewerage Facility Replacement (Fund 428), and this portion of the charge
would not change based on Metro costs. California Government Code Section 53756 allows agencies to
authorize automatic adjustments that pass‐through increases or decreases in wholesale wastewater
treatment charges when the wholesaler is a public agency (i.e. the City of San Diego). The City of Chula
Vista, as the agency implementing the pass through, must initially go through the Proposition 218 process
and authorize the pass through which can remain in effect for a maximum of five years. Notice of any
adjustment within the approved period shall be given not less than 30 days before the effective date of
the adjustment and follow subdivision (a) of Section 53755 of the California Government Code.
Financial Reviews
It is recommended that the City update the revenue sufficiency analysis portion of this study each year to
ensure projected revenue continues to be sufficient to fund projected expenses going forward as
assumptions made during this analysis may change and have a material impact upon the analysis.

POLICY:
This Policy establishes four distinct reserves within the Sewer Service Revenue Fund:
1. Working Capital and Rate Stabilization Resen e
2. Lmergency Reserve
3. Vehicle Replacement Reserve
4. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) Permit Renewal Liability Reserve
Workine Capital and Rate Stabilization Reserve
orking Capital and Rate Stabilization reserves in the Sewer Service Revenue Fund will be restricted
to maintaining and operating the astewater collection system and paying treatment charges to City of
San Dieeo Metropolitan Wastewater ("Metro"). The reserve will be funded from revenues
accumulated in the Se ver Service Revenue Fund. It is intended to accommodate any natural
variability in revenues and e penditures, includin potential disruptions of cash flo vs due to varied
billing methodology, short tenn fluctuations and annual cycles. The reserve will also assist in
addressing shortfalls which may occur due to unanticipated cost increases in labor or energy and other
consumption based goods and services, such as wastewater treatment sen ices provided by Metro.
The reserves represent unrestricted resources available for appropriation by the City Council
addressing unforeseen needs for sewer services.
The VVorking Capital and Rate Stabilization Reserves will assist the City in addressing the following
items:
Rate Stabilization — the reserves will allow the Ciry the flexibility to "smooth" rates and phase
increases in over multiple years, which is prudent given the potential variability in the Citys
payments to Metro.
Revenue Collection Fluctuations - the resen es will be used to protect the City from natural
fluctuations in revenue and e penditure cycles which is prudent given that the City bills
customers at different points in time but incurs expenses continuously throughout the year.
Rates of delinquencies—delays in collection of outstanding revenues.
Payroll cycles — the timing of a fixed cash requirement for payroll, as related to the timing of
re enue cycles.
Unanticipated espenses - espenses whose characteristics make accurate estimation difficult,
such as increases in wastewater treatment services provided by the City of San Diego, energy
costs; labor benefits and other consumption based goods and services.
The City shall maintain a Se er Revenue reserve equivalent to 90 days of operating expenditures and
a Rate Stabilization reserve equivalent to 90 days of operating expenditures for a minimum combined
rotal of 180 days and a masimum reserve balance of 125% of the minimum balance.

Metro's USEPA waiver expires in FY 2015 and may not be renewed. If denied, Mevo would need to
develop and implement improvements to achieve secondary treatment level at PLWTP. Current cost
estimates to establish full secondary treatment at PLWTP as well as possible altematives are all
significant (>$1 Billion). As a contributing member to the regional treatment plant, the City of Chula
Vista's share in the cost of any upgrade would be approximately 10 percent for the capital
improvements and any increase in the overall treatment cost. It is eapected that Metro will have 10
vears after the eapiration of the USEPA waiver to institute secondary treatment or altemative. This
reserve establishes a dedicated fund that will offset a poRion of the City's share of any obligation
related to the PLWTP USEPA waiver. By actively planning for the PLWTP upgrade or alternative.
the City will be in a stronger financial position to afford such costs while mitigating impacts to
ratepayers.
The Permit Renewal Liabilit} Reserve will be funded through annual contributions with the intent to
reach a target balance of 20% of Chula Vista's share of the upgrade cost by FY 2024/25 (10 years
after the e piration of the ti aiver). If substantial increases in Metro-related costs occur sooner than
ezpected, the City may dra v do n reserve levels prior to FY 2024/25 to manage impacts to
ratepayers. To be consistent with the City"s policy for managing balances for its other utility reserves,
if funds are appropriated from the reserve before its intended use, the funds should be replenished in
subsequent fiscal years. If the magnitude of the withdrawal is material, the Finance Director shall
provide the City Council vith a plan to incrementally replenish the resemes.
If the actual costs for the PLWTP upgrade or altemative are less than anticipated, any unspent reserves
will be rolled into the Working Capital and Rate stabilization reserve and utilized to fund City sewer
programs, including maintenance and e pansion of the City's conveyance system and payment of San
Diego Metro wastewater treatment costs.

INTRODUCTION
As a component of the City of Chula Vista’s (“City”) Growth Management Program, the City’s
Development Services Department provides annual residential growth forecasts looking out five
years. This year’s growth forecast covers the period from January 2020 through December 2024.
The growth forecast is provided to assist City departments and other service providers in assessing
potential impacts that growth may have on maintaining compliance with threshold standards for
each of the quality of life threshold topics established in Chula Vista Municipal Code Chapter 19.09,
Growth Management, as listed below:
1. Air Quality and Climate Protection
2. Drainage
3. Fire and Emergency Medical Services
4. Fiscal
5. Libraries
6. Parks and Recreation
7. Police
8. Schools
9. Sewer
10. Traffic
11. Water
The Chula Vista Growth Management Oversight Commission (GMOC) sends out on an annual basis
the growth forecast and compliance questionnaires to City departments and service providers,
soliciting information regarding past, current, and projected compliance with the quality of life
threshold standards for the facilities and services listed above. The responses to the questionnaires
form a basis for the GMOC’s annual report, which includes a set of recommendations to the City
Council regarding threshold compliance and/or revisions to any of the City’s threshold standards.
Recommendations may include such actions as adding or accelerating capital projects; hiring
personnel; changing management practices; or slowing the pace of growth (such as a moratorium).
The City Council ultimately decides what course of action to take.
To prepare the growth forecast, the City requests that developers and builders provide residential
projections for projects that have been or are undergoing the entitlement process, and that could
potentially be approved and permitted for construction within the next five years. The numbers
reflect consideration of the City’s standard entitlement process and permitting time frames, but do
not reflect market or other economic conditions outside the City’s control. Therefore, the growth
forecast is characterized as follows:
It does not represent a goal or desired growth rate;
It represents what may occur given a set of assumptions listed below under “Forecast
Methods”;
It is produced by the City and is not necessarily endorsed by home builders; and
It assumes that market and economic conditions, as well as developer funding and
resources, will consistently be synchronized to support the projections. This is a more
liberal estimate to assess possible effects to the City’s threshold standards.

As shown in Table A, below, last year’s growth forecast estimated that 2,117 residential building
permits would be issued in 2019. However, actual permits issued fell below projections, particularly
for single-family units. Overall, permits to date, plus current fourth quarter projected permits are
approximately 42% lower than the projections in last year’s Growth Forecast. Permits for single-family
units fell more drastically, 72% below the 800 units projected. The majority of building activity in 2019
is occurring in the master planned communities east of Interstate 805.

FORECAST SUMMARY
In the forecast period covering calendar year 2020 through calendar year 2024, 6,077 residential units
are projected to be permitted citywide, with an annual average of 1,215 housing units permitted per
year (see Figure 1 and Tables 1 and 2). Building activity will continue to be concentrated in the master
planned communities east of Interstate 805, with 93% of residential permits to be issued in eastern
Chula Vista. Refer to Figure 2 for a map of the anticipated developments in the City during the
forecast period.

TOTAL 6,077 100% 1,215
These above developer-provided projections were averaged with the projected 10-year moving
average of permits issued to present a growth forecast that “smooths out” annual fluctuations
(Tables 3 and 4). Averaging the citywide developer projections and the 10-year moving average
results in a blended projection of approximately 786 permits to be issued in 2020, increasing to 944
in 2024. The data presented in Table 3 provides a historical context for assessing and validating the
developer-generated projections contained in Tables 1 and 2.

The following discussion and figures describe the context, conditions and assumptions behind the
forecast. It should be noted that this forecast is a planning tool and not a prediction or specific
expectation.
FORECAST METHODS
With input from developers, projections are derived by reviewing the status of project entitlements,
including estimated project processing schedules for plan reviews, subdivision maps, and building
plans.
The forecast is predicated upon the following three assumptions:
1. Public policy regarding development remains unchanged;
2. The housing market remains stable; and
3. Projects follow normal project regulatory processing schedules.
To provide context for the forecasted units to be constructed, the City uses several analyses that
illustrate the range of possibilities in which development in the City could proceed. These methods are
a combination of simple statistics and market absorption estimates provided by developers with
consideration for typical permit progression through the City’s entitlement process.

Developer Estimates and Permit Process Projection
As part of the Growth Forecast preparation process, the City solicits estimates from developers in the
City based on their permitting and construction schedules coupled with their understanding of market
absorption conditions. The City then incorporates the status and progression of the units in the
entitlement process into the anticipated schedule. In doing so, any unanticipated regulatory impacts
to the schedules of planned projects can be accounted for. Typically, this results in some minimal
deviations from the developers’ projected schedules. This projection indicates the permitting of a
total of 6,077 residential units citywide between 2020 and 2024.
System Growth Estimates D-4
2022/04/26 City Council Post Agenda Page 466 of 667
5
Statistical (10-Year Simple Moving Average) Projection
As discussed above, the statistical method for projecting permitted units provides a readily-
available estimate for future development accounting for the dynamics of approximately a full
market cycle. Each future year’s citywide projected completed units are the average of the citywide
completed units for the ten prior years, representing a 10-year simple moving average for
completed dwelling units. This projection indicates the permitting of approximately 4,741
residential units between 2020 and 2024.
As shown on Table 3, the moving average includes data from the preceding 10 years, which includes
a period when development was significantly slowed by the national financial crisis and its
aftermath. Therefore, although there are some variations year-by-year, the overall five-year
projection based on the moving average is approximately 10% lower than developer projections.
Blended Projection
As previously discussed, the statistical and developer projections form the lower and upper bounds
of future trends, respectively. For the purposes of this analysis, the mean of these projections (the
Blended Projection) is interpreted as the most likely outcome and is used as the forecasted permit
activity and population growth. As discussed in the “Statistical (10-Year Simple Moving Average)
Projection” section above, approximately 4,741 total permitted units are projected between 2020
and 2024, based on the moving average, while 6,077 would be permitted based on developer
projections. The average between the 10-year moving average and developer projections is
5,409 units between 2020 and 2024. Additional details can be found in Tables 3 and 4, and the
light blue lines on Figure 3.
Additional details can be found in Tables 3 and 4, and the light blue lines on Figure 3. Information
regarding projected growth in the eastern and western portions of the City is presented in the
paragraphs that follow.
Eastern Chula Vista
Most of the City’s growth has been and will continue to be in eastern Chula Vista (see Figure 2) for
the next several years. Development is projected to be most active in Otay Ranch Villages 2, 3, 8
West, Planning Area 12, and Millenia through 2024 (see Table 1).
Starting in January 2020, the remaining capacity for residential units projected to be permitted in
eastern Chula Vista is approximately 16,897. If 6,077 units were to be permitted over the next five-
year period, then approximately 10,820 units would remain. Assuming the continuation of the
annual developer projection of 1,215 permits per year, the City’s residential capacity would be fully
built out in approximately nine years after the analysis period of this growth forecast (i.e., 2033).
However, this is a projection of long-term future growth based on a five-year-projection; this
buildout estimate is subject to revision resulting from changes in economic conditions, updated
vacancy and occupancy estimates, and/or future revisions to development plans.

The initial phase of development of the Bayfront–Pacifica units is projected to begin in 2021. It is
assumed that buildout of Pacifica would occur after 2024. However, there is no clear indication
when the other projects will move forward.
From January 1 through August 22, 2019, 19 building permits were issued for accessory dwelling
units (ADUs). Approximately 20 ADUs are expected to be permitted each year between 2020 and
2024.

CONSTRUCTION HISTORY
Residential
Several market cycles, including recessions, have contributed to a broad range in the number of
building permits issued each decade since 1980, as indicated in Table E, below:
Table E
Decade Average Number of Building
Permits Issued per Year
1980-1989 990
1990-1999 973
2000-2009 1,885
2010-2019* 913
* Existing permits through August 22, 2019 plus projections
for fourth quarter of 2019
The following are notable characteristics of residential construction since the 1980s:
On an annual basis, the number of building permits issued for housing units in Chula Vista
has fluctuated from a low of 195 in 1981 to a high of 3,525 in 2001.
The average number between 1980 and 2018 was 1,188 (see Table 3 and Figure 3).
Between 1984 and 1989, the average number of permits issued each year was 1,431.
There was a ten-year period of at least 1,000 permits issued annually between 1997 and
2006, averaging 2,254 units per year.
In 2001, 2003 and 2004, the annual permits issued exceeded 3,000.
Between 2007 and 2015, the number of building permits issued each year never exceeded
1,000 per year, due to the lingering effects of the housing and financial crisis.
Between 2016 and 2018, annual permits issued exceeded 1,000 and increased with each
successive year.
The projected number of annual permits for 2019 is 1,035, which is a reduction from
previous years.
A significant cause of Chula Vista’s growth was, and continues to be, development of the master
planned communities in eastern Chula Vista, including Rancho del Rey, Eastlake, Rolling Hills
Ranch, San Miguel Ranch, and Bella Lago, which are mostly built out; and Otay Ranch, which has
several thousand more units to be constructed.

Commercial and Industrial
Commercial and industrial development in the City has been significantly outpaced by residential
development but characterized by periodic upticks, typically due to the opening of retail centers.
Commercial development in the City has recently accelerated with the development of the
Millenia, Freeway Commercial, and Bayfront project areas. Approximately 1,600 hotel rooms are
projected to be permitted in 2020 in the Chula Vista Bayfront Master Plan area.
FORECASTED POPULATION
This forecast focuses on the projected number of residential units as the primary indicator to
measure future population increases. Western Chula Vista (as evidenced by U.S. Census data) has
experienced growth in the form of demographic changes as the average household size increases.
However, such growth is difficult to track on a year-to-year basis and is not reflected in this
report’s future population forecast.
The California State Department of Finance (DOF) estimated that Chula Vista had an average of
3.30 persons per household in 2019. Applying this rate to the residential units projected over the
next five years using the City’s 10-year moving average, and assuming a 2019 year-end population
of 277,099 and the 2019 DOF vacancy rate of 5.3%, Chula Vista can expect a total population of
approximately 288,844 persons by the end of 2024 (see Figure 3, solid red line). Applying the
developer’s projections to the same assumptions would result in a projected 2024 population of
294,252. Assuming the Blended Projection, the City’s population would be 291,548 by 2024. This
represents an increase of approximately 14,450 residents, as compared to the estimated year-end
population of 277,099 for 2019.
This is only a rough estimate for planning purposes, as the vacancy rate, persons per unit factors, and
the number of actual units completed will vary over time.

Subject: RE: Rate Study ‐ Review of Assumptions from Finance
Hi Beth,
This email is specifically in response to item # 3 requested below.
My new interest earnings forecast for the next 5 years is 1%.
The following factors are included in this projection: the federal reserve has lowered the overnight rate 3 times in the
last 6 months with the dot plot showing 2 additional reductions projected in 2020 (this would bring the fed rate to a
range of 1‐1.25%); investments from 5 months ago were yielding 3.2%, now they are at 1.7%; probabilities of a recession
in the next 18 months have risen over the last 6 months; a high probability exists that the Fed will have to reduce rates
further to combat any economic downturns over the next 5 years; 10 year and 30 year treasury bond rates are trading
just above historic lows which puts pressure on short term securities; global yields have gone negative in several
European and Asian markets over the last 6 months and the president of the United States has voiced his displeasure
with our current interest rates and has demanded that we consider negative interest rates also.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks,
David Bilby, MSBA, CPFO

Subject: Rate Study ‐ Review of Assumptions from Finance
Hi David,
I appreciate your help in reviewing some of the assumptions for the Sewer Rate Study.
I am attaching the information electronically that I provided at the meeting.
In regards to the Item No. 1 on the Fund Balances, I understand that the audited numbers will be available in two
weeks. For now, we will use the numbers previously provided by Ed Prendell but will look forward to having the
information updated after the audit. But when the audited information is available, please provide the information by
fund (similar to the previous email, attached).
For Items 2 through 4, as discussed, the numbers should be appropriate for the 5‐year Rate Study not a snap shot in
time. They will be used to project out 10‐years but with the understanding that another rate study will be done to
update the 5‐year Study.
For Item No. 2, let me know what you are able to find from Meya regarding the historic delinquency rate.
For Item No. 3, please let me know what the interest assumption be, previous email attached with updated attachment.
For Item No. 4, please review and provide any updates to the previously provided escalation factors, previous email
attached.
Thank you in advance for your help.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Public Utilities Department (PUD) Fiscal Year 2020-2024 Five-Year Financial Outlook (PUD Outlook)
is provided to guide long-range planning and serve as the framework for the development of the Fiscal
Year (FY) 2020 Proposed Budget for the Water and Sewer Revenue Funds. The purpose of this report
is to provide an overview of the Public Utilities Department’s long-range needs and to guide
programmatic decisions.
The PUD Outlook focuses on the overall fiscal condition of the Water and Wastewater Systems, and
assesses impacts to system revenues and expenditures from regional water and wastewater
demands. It also lays out a funding strategy to finance major capital investments in water and
wastewater system infrastructure and the construction of the Pure Water Program. The PUD Outlook
quantifies new costs that are critical to accomplishing PUD’s strategic goals over the next five-year
period. These goals include:
Goal 1: Water Supply and Environmental Stewardship
➢ Water supply and conservation
➢ Carbon footprint and energy management
Goal 2: Organization Excellence
➢ Rate structure optimization
➢ Safety
➢ Training and development
➢ Excellent organizational culture
Goal 3: Community Engagement
➢ Stakeholder understanding and support
➢ Customer service strategies
Goal 4: Infrastructure Management
➢ Asset management
➢ Infrastructure investment
The PUD Outlook is not a budget. Its projections are consistent with those in PUD’s bond offering
statements, and largely use a budgetary basis.1 Projected revenues and expenditures in any given
year of the PUD Outlook may not correspond exactly to those in future Proposed Budgets.
Nevertheless, the PUD Outlook can serve as a planning tool to assist in budget decisions and the
allocation of resources to meet PUD’s strategic goals that are critical to providing the community with
a high quality and reliable water supply. The PUD Outlook also provides the City Council, key
stakeholders, and the public with information in advance of the budget meetings to facilitate an
informed discussion during the development of the FY 2020 Budget.
1 Revenues, Operating Expenses, and Capital Expenses in the Outlook use a cash basis. Debt payments are based
on a projected debt schedule.

SUMMARY OF KEY FINANCIAL DATA
This section presents a summary of the PUD FY 2020 through FY 2024 Outlook, and the overall financial
condition of the Water and Wastewater System. Summary tables of revenues and operating expenses are
provided along with expenses associated with PUD’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP), debt service
payments, and reserve contributions. Further detail on CIP expenses and sources of funds for those
expenses is also provided.
Additional detail on each line-item in these summaries can be found in the corresponding sections of this
report. Revenue projections include differing growth rates for each line-item. Baseline operating
expenditures are those expenditures that are sufficient to allow PUD to continue maintaining its existing
operations without expanding any operational programs. Critical operating expenditures are those
associated with expanded operations for PUD; a significant portion of these critical operating
expenditures are associated with Phase One of the Pure Water Program coming online.
Water System
Overall, the PUD Outlook for the Water System forecasts revenue to increase moderately over the next
five years, primarily due to projected water rate increases in FY 2020 that have been approved by Council,
as well as rate increases and that are expected to be needed in FYs 2021 through 2024 (see section on
Water Systems Revenues). Other operating revenues are projected to increase slightly between FY 2020
and FY 2021 due to an increase in cash balances and associated interest earnings, but gradually decline
over the following three years based on projected market fluctuations. PUD is projecting the receipt of
approximately $11.5 million in Local Resource Program incentives from Metropolitan Water District for
developing local water supplies, which accounts for the increase in other revenue in FY 2024.
Baseline operating expenditures are projected to grow modestly over the next five years, but increases in
critical operating expenditures are expected as PUD begins operations and maintenance of Phase 1 of the
Pure Water Program as reflected in the table 1.1 below. Conversely, capital improvement program
expenditures (CIP) begin gradually decreasing starting in FY 2022, as Phase 1 of the Pure Water Program
nears completion. Water purchase expenses in FY 2024 decline due to Phase 1 coming on-line.
PUD continues to pursue financing to fund the CIP, including the Pure Water Program, as illustrated on
table 1.2 below.

Wastewater System
Overall, the PUD Outlook for the Wastewater System forecasts revenue to increase moderately over
the next five years, primarily due to projected rate increases related to sewer service charges (see
section on Wastewater Systems Revenues). Other operating revenues are projected to increase slightly
from FY 2019, primarily due to wastewater system charges to Participating Agencies of the
Metropolitan Wastewater System (further described in the PUD Outlook overview below) to reflect
anticipated increases in shared costs of Pure Water Program expenses. Additional growth in other
revenues is associated with projected increases in pooled investments. The PUD Outlook also
anticipates the transfer of funds from the Rate Stabilization Fund to mitigate potential fluctuations in
the rates in FYs 2020 through 2024.
Baseline operating expenditures are projected to grow modestly over the next five years, but
increases in critical operating expenditures are expected as PUD begins to prepare its operations and
maintenance program for Phase 1 of the Pure Water Program as reflected in the table 1.3 below.
Similar to the water system CIP, expenditures in the wastewater CIP begin decreasing in FY 2022, as
Phase 1 of the Pure Water Program nears completion.
PUD continues to pursue financing to fund the CIP, including the Pure Water Program, as illustrated
on table 1.4 below.

Report Outline
The PUD Outlook is organized into two main sections: Water System and Wastewater System. The
water system is comprised of the Water Utility Fund and the wastewater system is comprised of the
Metropolitan and Municipal Sewer Funds, collectively known as the “Sewer Revenue Fund”.
The PUD Outlook provides a brief overview of the water and wastewater systems and the impacts of
the Pure Water Program. Each section also provides a discussion of baseline projections for revenues
and expenditures, and upcoming critical operational expenditures that will require additional
resources. Projected Capital Improvement Program (CIP) needs and financing options are also
discussed.
The Water System and Wastewater System sections of the PUD Outlook include projections for the
next five years of ongoing revenues and expenditures, as displayed in Table 1.1 – Water System Fund
Fiscal Year 2020-2024 Financial Outlook, and Table 1.3 Wastewater System Fiscal Year 2020-2024
Financial Outlook, respectively. ‘Baseline’ projections include expenditure adjustments necessary to
support current service levels provided by PUD. Actual FY 2018 unaudited expenditures serve as the
starting point for non-personnel baseline projections unless otherwise noted; personnel expenditure
projections use the FY 2019 Adopted Budget as a starting point. As noted earlier , Outlook projections
in any given year may not correspond exactly to the revenues and expenditures in future Proposed
Budgets.
Critical Operating Expenditures are largely associated with implementation of the Pure Water
Program, but also include expenditures that have been preliminarily identified as necessary in
meeting core water and wastewater service levels and PUD’s strategic goals. They are discussed within
each expenditure category. All expenditures discussed in this report will be further refined during the
FY 2020 budget development process.

Overview of the Water and Wastewater System
The City of San Diego is a major metropolis and is ranked the eighth largest City in the United States
and the second largest city in California. The City’s total population is estimated at 1.4 million. The
City’s climate is semiarid with cycles of multi-year droughts. Average rainfall does not provide
adequate local water supplies for the City, and is supplemented with water imported from outside the
region.
The City’s water and wastewater systems are maintained and operated by the City’s Public Utilities
Department. The City provides water to not only the City of San Diego but to the cities of Del Mar,
Coronado and Imperial Beach, primarily from two water sources: (1) local supplies, which provide on
average 10 - 15% of water needs, and (2) the San Diego County Water Authority (CWA), which provides
85 - 90% of water needs. The City’s water system extends over 404 square miles, with average potable
water deliveries of 155 million gallons per day (mgd), or 174,000 acre-feet per year (AFY). PUD’s
extensive raw water system includes nine reservoirs, which capture local runoff from rainfall and store
purchased imported water that is sent to the City’s three water treatment plants for treatment and
distribution. Based on statistics provided by the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG), the
City’s population is projected to increase by 22% over the next 20 years. PUD expects that this
projected growth will increase demand for potable water by 18% to 22%, depending on the variables
of future weather and conservation level assumptions.
The City’s wastewater system owns and operates wastewater treatment plants that serve the City as
well as other the agencies of other cities and districts outside San Diego City boundaries (Participating
Agencies). The wastewater system serves over 2.2 million customers by providing wastewater
collection, treatment, and disposal services. The wastewater system processes an average of 156
million gallons of sewage daily via a vast network of facilities which include an extensive collection
system, regional wastewater treatment, cogeneration, and a biosolids production center. The
wastewater system is comprised of two subsystems, the Municipal Sub-System and the Metropolitan
Sub-System. The Municipal Sub-System is a municipal sewage collection system for the City’s residents
and consists of all elements required for the collection and conveyance of wastewater gener ated by
the service area, which currently consists of more than 275,000 accounts. The Metropolitan Sub -
System is a regional sewage treatment and disposal system that serves the City and twelve other
Participating Agencies near the City. The wastewater system covers approximately 450 square miles,
including most of the City, and stretches from Del Mar and Poway to the north, Alpine and Lakeside
to the east, and San Ysidro to the south. The communities and agencies served by the wastewater
system form the third largest metropolitan area in the State, surpassed only by the Los Angeles and
San Francisco metropolitan areas. The Point Loma Wastewater Treatment Plant serves as a regional
treatment facility handling sanitary waste from both Muni and Metro customers. Additionally, the
wastewater system operates and maintains two water reclamation plants (North City and South Bay),
and a solids management facility (Metropolitan Biosolids Center).

2022/04/26 City Council Post Agenda Page 495 of 667
Regional Water Supply
In any given year, the City will use local water supplies to meet 10 - 15% of demand, and relies on
imported water from the County Water Authority (CWA) to meet the other 85 - 90% of demand. The
CWA is a wholesale water agency that provided approximately 400,000 AF of imported and
desalinated water to its member agencies in Fiscal Year 2018, including 155,000 AF supplied to PUD.
CWA currently acquires the majority of its water from three main sources: conserved water from the
Imperial Irrigation District, water from the Metropolitan Water District (MWD), and desalinated water.
MWD obtains its water from the Colorado River through the United States Bureau of Reclamation, and
from northern California via the State Water Project through the California Department of Water
Resources (DWR). MWD is one of 29 public water agencies that have long-term contracts for water
service from DWR, and it is the largest agency in terms of the number of people it se rves
(approximately 19 million). The CWA is MWD’s largest customer, responsible on average for 19.5% of
MWD’s annual revenues. Both CWA and MWD are developing storage and additional supplies, such
as water transfers, to augment their imported water.
PUD also maintains a recycled water system that supplies a portion of the San Diego region. That
system is supplied by two water reclamation plants – the North City Water Reclamation Plant (NCWRP)
and South Bay Water Reclamation Plant (SBWRP). The City supplies recycled water to retail customers
and to three wholesale customers: the City of Poway, the Olivenhain Municipal Water District, and the
Otay Water District. Recycled water usage is seasonal and is primarily used for irrigation. Customers
also use the water for dust suppression or soil compaction at construction sites, in cooling towers,
ornamental fountains, and for office building toilet and urinal flushing (dual plumbing).
Participating Agencies
Pursuant to the Regional Wastewater Disposal Agreement, the Metropolitan Sub-System provides
“wholesale” treatment and disposal services, including some sewage transportation , to the cities of
Chula Vista, Coronado, Del Mar, El Cajon, Imperial Beach, La Mesa, National City and Poway, the Lemon
Grove Sanitation District, the Otay Water Dis trict, the Padre Dam Municipal Water District, and the
County of San Diego (on behalf of Winter Gardens Sewer Maintenance District and the Alpine Lakeside
and Spring Valley Sanitation Districts). These cities and districts are collectively referred to as the
“Participating Agencies”.
The Regional Wastewater Disposal Agreement requires the Participating Agencies to pay their
respective share of planning, design and construction of Metropolitan Sub-System facilities, as well as
costs relating to the operation and maintenance of the Metropolitan Sub-System. Since Fiscal Year
2011, these aggregate costs have consistently constituted approximately 33% of the total
Metropolitan Sub-System costs. Between Fiscal Years 2014 and 2018, the department received, on
average, approximately $65 million in System Revenues per fiscal year from the Participating
Agencies.
Pure Water Program
The Pure Water Program will provide a safe, secure, and sustainable local drinking water supply for
San Diego. Advanced water purification technology will be used to produce potable water from
recycled water. The City and its regional partners face significant issues with water supply and
Metro Cost Projections F-12
2022/04/26 City Council Post Agenda Page 496 of 667
wastewater treatment. The region’s reliance on imported water causes the water supply to be
vulnerable to shortages and susceptible to price increases beyond the control of PUD.
The Pure Water Program is a 20-year (2015-2035) multi-phased water and wastewater capital
improvement program that is expected, upon full implementation by the end of calendar year 2035,
to create 83 mgd of locally controlled water, which will provide one-third of the City’s total potable
water needs. The Pure Water Program will divert treated water from the Point Loma Wastewater
Treatment Plant’s outfalls and recycle a valuable and limited resource that is currently discharged to
the ocean. Phase 1 of the program is expected to produce 30 mgd of purified drinking water by
February 2024. This will allow the City to reduce the amount of water purchased in FY 2024 and
beyond.
In 2010, the City received a renewal of the Modified Permit for the Point Loma Plant and agreed to
identify opportunities to maximize recycling wastewater for potable and non-potable uses. That
permit expired in July 2015 and was administratively continued while the regulatory agencies
completed work on the renewal application. In 2017 the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), in
conjunction with the California Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB), issued the final
approval renewing the Modified Permit (5th Renewal) and a waiver from secondary treatment
standards for another five years. The permit took effect October 1, 2017 and expires on September
30, 2022. The 5th Renewal was based on compliance with Clean Water Act requirements, progress of
the Pure Water Program, and a reduction in permitted emissions from the previous permit level. The
Pure Water Program is designed to reduce discharge into the ocean from the Point Loma Plant while
providing a new local source of potable water for the City. It is anticipated that continuation of the
Pure Water Program will be reflected in future permits, which will eliminate the need for the City to
make over $1.8 billion in upgrades to the Point Loma Plant that would otherwise be necessary.
Phase 1 of the Pure Water Program includes the construction of the North City Pure Water Facility and
the expansion of the existing North City Water Reclamation Plant. The designs for the North City Pure
Water Phase 1 Projects are complete, and in November 2018 the City Council authorized PUD begin
advertising for construction. Future phases include the potential expansion of the South Bay Water
Reclamation Plant, as well as proposed Central Area facilities that would include both reclamation and
purified water facilities.
Phase 1 is estimated to cost approximately $1.48 billion. The Water and Wastewater Funds will share
in these expenditures according to a cost allocation based on completed design and engineering
studies. Based on the cost allocation between the water and wastewater systems, approximately $865
million is allocated to the Water Utility Fund and approximately $612 million is allocated to the Sewer
Revenue.
Phase 1 costs extends through FY 2024; water rates for Fiscal Year 2021 and beyond were not part of
the 2016 Rate Case (discussed below). Projected Pure Water Program expenditures for both the Water
and Sewer Utility Funds will be dependent on future rates, and PUD anticipates that additional rate
capacity from each Fund will be necessary after Fiscal Year 2020.

WATER SYSTEM
This section discusses baseline revenue and expenditure projections, upcoming critical operational
expenditures, projected capital improvement program needs and financing options for the next five
years for the Water Utility Fund.
Water System Revenues
The primary revenue sources of the Water Utility Fund are generated fr om water sales, capacity fees,
interest earnings, and rental income. This section discusses each revenue category, and includes a
description of revenue sources, projected growth rates, and a discussion of future revenue streams
and how they impact the Water Utility Fund.
Water Sales
Background. The majority of Water Utility Fund revenue is generated from water sales: water sales
revenue makes up approximately 94% of the Water Utility Fund’s total revenue. City utility bills include
water and sewer charges and storm drain fees, but only receipts from water sales are revenues to the
Water Utility Fund. The water component is comprised of two parts: a fixed monthly service charge
and a commodity charge that is based on the volume of water used. The fixed service charge is
determined by the size of a customer’s meter, which provides an approximation of the amount of
water the customer could have delivered to the customer’s property.
The commodity charge is determined using a set rate based upon each hundred cubic feet (HCF) of
water consumed. The City has a tiered commodity charge structure for single family residential (SFR)
customers that is broken down by water usage within each rate block. The remaining retail customers
– multi-family residential (MFR), Non-Residential, Temporary Construction and Irrigation – are billed
under a uniform commodity charge for their respective customer classification.
Cost of Service Study. The PUD last conducted a Cost of Service (COS) analysis in 2015, which
produced a five-year rate case (the 2016 Rate Case). The 2016 Rate Case was based on comprehensive
forecasted annual operations and maintenance costs, capital costs expenditures including the Pure
Water Program, and purchased water costs from CWA that become effective in January during each
fiscal year. The 2016 Rate Case covered Fiscal Years 2016 through 2020 and was approved by the City
Council in November 2015. The rate case included projected rate increases of 9.8% on January 1,
2016, 6.4% on July 1, 2016, 6.4% on July 1, 2017, 5.0% on July 1, 2018 and 7.0% on July 1, 2019.2
The City is in the preliminary stages of reviewing the rate impacts of revenues and expenditures that
are projected to begin in Fiscal Year 2021. The City has engaged Raftelis Financial Consultants, Inc. to
assist in the preparation of the COS analysis. The analysis and Proposition 218 process are expected
to be undertaken and completed in Fiscal Year 2020. New rates would be proposed to become
effective in Fiscal Year 2021. This Outlook assumes preliminary water rate increases of 6.9% in FY
2021, 6.4% in FY 2022, 6.3% in FY 2023, and 6.0% in FY 2024 as detailed on Figure 2.1 below. Actual
2 These projected rate increases included both PUD’s costs as well as increases in CWA water rates. The approved 2016 Rate
Case allowed PUD to pass through CWA rate increases up of up to 7.0% each year. Projected and actual CWA rate increases
were lower than this 7.0% maximum, though CWA rate increases in FY 2017 and FY 2018 were higher than they were
projected to be in the 2016 Rate Case. Actual CWA pass-through costs through FY 2019 are reflected on Figure 2.1 below.
Metro Cost Projections F-14
2022/04/26 City Council Post Agenda Page 498 of 667
rate increase will be determined through a cost of service study and presented to the City Council for
review and approval.
CWA rate increase impacts to the City were projected to be 2.5% in Fiscal Year 2019, and 3.0% in Fiscal
Year 2020. Because actual CWA pass through increases are lower than the projections for those years,
PUD only passes through the actual CWA costs to its ratepayers. The actual pass through impacts are
shown in Figure 2.1 below. The CWA pass through impact for Fiscal Year 2020 is currently projected
to be 2.1%.
Figure 2.1 – Water Service Charge Rate Increases.
As discussed above, a portion of the projected rate adjustments are attributable to CWA pass -through
costs. The remaining 4% is associated with increased PUD operating and capital costs. Roughly half of
those needs – and half (2%) of the projected rate adjustments – are associated with capital and
operational expenditures necessary for Phase 1 of Pure Water.
Over the Outlook period, $806.1 million, or 48%, of Water Fund CIP needs are attributed to the Pure
Water program (see “Water System Capital Improvement Program” section). $80.4 million, or 83%, of
Critical Operating Expenditures are attributed to Pure Water program needs. Non-Pure Water Critical
Operating Expenditures and increases in baseline expenditures total $104.0 million (see “Water
System Expenditures” section).
* The 2016 Rate Case projected an increase of 7.00% for FY 2020, but Public Utilities is only projecting a 6.1% increase
based on CWA pass-through costs and Water System costs.
** Projected rates for FY 2021-2024 are preliminary projections that include forecasts for CWA pass-through costs,
Water System Needs, and revenue necessary to comply with debt service covenants. Detailed forecasts and
projections will be prepared in a full cost of service study.

The following table displays the existing water rates for FY 2019.
Forecast. The following table presents FY 2018 actuals, year-end projections for FY 2019 and the
forecast for FY 2020 through FY 2024 for revenue from water sales. The FY 2019 projection includes
the rate increase of 2.15% that went into effect August 1, 2018. The growth rates as shown in table
2.3 reflect overall revenue growth, and not actual water rate increases which were presented in Figure
2.1. Additionally, the financial projections in Table 2.3 below assume the proposed rate increases
shown in Figure 2.1.
Economic Trends. Although PUD continues to promote water conservation, the demand for water
within the City’s service area is projected to increase as the population continues to grow and
development expands. According to the City’s 2015 Urban Water Management Plan (2015 UWMP),
single-family residential water use is projected to increase by 39 percent over the period of 2020 to

2040. Multifamily residential water use is forecasted to increase at 69 percent over the projection
period of 2020 to 2040.
The City’s Pure Water Program is expected to be crucial in meeting the City’s water demands and to
reduce the impact of increases in the cost of imported water purchased from CWA. Over the past ten
years, CWA’s water prices have more than doubled.
Sensitivity Analysis. While these projections represent PUD’s best estimate of water sales revenues
throughout the PUD Outlook period, actual results will depend on the factors discussed above.
Assuming the above rates, declines or increases in water demand of just 1% can impact water sales
revenue by approximately $4.5 million. The impact in revenue from potential rate increases ranges
from $5.7 to $6.5 million for each percent added or subtracted from projected rate increases
depending on the year in which rates are adjusted. Adjustments to projected rates in earlier years
would compound this amount.
Note that these factors may also impact each other: declines in water demand may necessitate larger
rate increases, while increases in demand may partially offset the need for rate increases. The
Department is also currently in the process of evaluating potential alternative water rate structures
and expects to bring a report summarizing those alternatives to the City Council in early 2019.
Water Capacity Charges
Background. Capacity charges are development fees imposed on permits for new or expanded water
connections, and are based on an estimate of the increase in water consumption as measured by
equivalent dwelling units (EDUs). Capacity charge proceeds are used to construct, improve and
expand the Water System to accommodate the additional business of such added dwellings or
commercial or industrial units.
Pursuant to State law, capacity charges can be used only to pay costs associated with capital
expansion, bonds, contracts, or other indebtedness of the Water System related to expansion.
Because capacity charges are primarily collected on the issuance of new construction permits within
the City, revenues obtained from such charges vary based upon construction permitting activity.
In February 2007, the City Council and Mayor approved increasing the capacity charge by 19.5% to
$3,047 per EDU, which was estimated to provide full cost recovery for Water System expansion
projects. The City will be undertaking a cost of service study to review existing capacity charge rates
in calendar year 2019.
Forecast. The following table presents average capacity charge revenue received between FY 2014 to
FY 2018, FY 2019 Budget, and the forecast for FY 2020 through FY 2024. This revenue source
represents 2.4 percent of the Water System’s overall revenue receipts.

Projected revenues for capacity charges use conservative growth estimates based on historical
spending trends from FY 2014 through FY 2018 as shown in Figure 2.6 below. Average capacity fee
revenue between FY 2014 and FY 2018 was approximately $15.5 million. Water capacity charges in FY
2019 were budgeted historically low and will be adjusted to reflect historical and projected revenue
trends in the FY 2020 budget. Capacity charge revenue is conservatively projected at $14.4 million for
FY 2020 through FY 2024.
Economic Trends. As previously mentioned, water capacity charges are primarily based on new
water connections related to new construction, and are directly influenced by population growth and
residential and commercial development. The current population for the City of San Diego is 1.4
million. San Diego's population grew by approximately seven percent between the 2000 Census and
the 2010 Census, for an aggregate increase of 84,000. As population continues to increase in the
region, the demand for new single and multi-family housing is also expected to increase in order to
meet population demands. Table 2.7 presents projected regional population and housing growth for
the next 50 years.
According to SANDAG, multi-family units will make up over half of the new housing that will need to
be built over the next 30 years. As a result, SANDAG forecasts that 40 percent of the total units in the
region will be multi-family by 2030. These trends are reflected in the City’s experiences: multi-family
units approved and permitted in 2018 were up 150 percent in 2018, while single-family units permitted
increased by 47 percent. Similarly, PUD saw significant increases in capacity charge revenues in FY

2018 - approximately 15% above FY 2017 amounts - largely related to residential developments.
Though FY 2018 experienced an increase in building permits associated with multi and single-family
units, the California Association of Realtors (C.A.R) is forecasting a modest decline in single family units
due to a combination of high home prices and eroding affordability. Likewise, multi-family housing is
expected to continuing growing until it reaches a peak in 2019 and then to level off as multi-family
units under construction near completion. As a result, water capacity charge revenue is projected to
remain flat for the next five years.
Revenue from Use of Property
Revenue from Use of Property includes revenues from non-agricultural lease of land, such as the San
Diego Zoo Safari Park; storage by private companies on utility-owned lands; agricultural leases of land
in San Pasqual Valley; and telecom leases for cell towers on utility -owned properties.
The following table presents average revenue received from use of property between FY 2014 to FY
2018, FY 2019 year-end projections, and forecasted revenue for FY 2020 through FY 2024. This revenue
source represents 0.8 percent of the Water Utilities overall revenue receipts.
Revenues in this category can vary slightly each year as new lease agreements are entered into while
other lease agreements expire. Overall, revenue in this category has declined slightly since FY 2014,
and has remained relatively flat at $5.8 million since FY 2016. As a result, $5.8 million in Revenues
from Use of Property is projected throughout the PUD Outlook period.
Other Revenue
The Other Revenue category includes refunds or reimbursements from private parties for damages
to utility-owned equipment, buildings, or fire hydrants; refunds from vendors; reimbursements from
services provided to other City departments / funds, receipts from the sale of recycled materials or
equipment (paper, computers, metal); grant revenue, and interest earnings on pooled investments.
The following table presents FY 2018 actuals, the FY 2019 year-end projection and forecasted revenue
for FY 2020 through FY 2024. This revenue source represents 2.0 percent of the Water Utilities overall
revenue receipts.

Other revenue in FY 2020 is projected to increase by 26.2% from FY2019 primarily due to an increase
in unrestricted balances and associated interest earnings. Interest earning s are projected to slightly
increase between FY 2020 and FY 2021, and then gradually decline over the next three years based
on projected fluctuations in the market. However, the Department is projecting to receive
approximately $11.5 million in Local Resource Program incentives from Metropolitan Water District
for developing local water supplies, which accounts for the increase in revenue in FY 2024.
WATER SYSTEM EXPENDITURES
Water Utility Fund expenditures are comprised of both personnel and non-personnel expenditures
including debt service and other non-discretionary payments. The largest single expenditure of the
Water Utility Fund is for water purchases, representing approximately 50 percent of 2018 actual
expenditures. These expenditures are therefore discussed separately. The following sections discuss
in detail each expenditure category and include a description of the category, projected growth rates,
and a discussion of critical strategic expenditures.
Water Purchases
The City currently imports approximately 85-90% of its water through the CWA. Water purchases
contribute to the largest expense in the Water Utility Fund and make up approximately 50 percent of
the Water Utility Fund’s expenditure budget. CWA charges a volumetric rate that includes both a
commodity rate and a transportation rate. In addition to the volumetric charges the City pays for
imported water, both CWA and MWD also levy fixed charges on their member agencies.
The following table presents projected costs for purchasing water from CWA, and assumes that 5
percent of demand will be met with local water supplies in FY 2019, and 10 percent for FY 2020 through
FY 2024.3 The decrease in growth rates beginning in FY 2021 reflects a decline in CWA’s projected pass
through. Though the projected rate remains constant through FY 2024, the cost and amount of water
purchased declines in FY 2024 as Phase 1 of the Pure Water Program is expected to be on line and
providing 30 mgd of water by February 2024.
Personnel Expenditures
Personnel expenditures include salaries and wages and fringe benefits. Salaries and wages are
comprised of regular salaries and wages, special pay, overtime, step increases, and vacation pay in
lieu. Fringe benefits include pension payments or Actuarially Determined Contribution (ADC), flexible
benefits, retiree health or Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB), workers’ compensation,
3 Rainfall in water year 2018 (October 1, 2017 – September 30, 2018) totaled 3.34 inches, 7 inches below San Diego’s historical average of 10.34
inches, and in FY 2019 the Department projects supplying only 5% of its water demand from local sources. Fiscal Years 2020 and thereafter
assume more normal rainfall.

Supplemental Pension Savings Plan (SPSP), and other fringe benefits. The FY 2019 Adopted Budget
for Water Fund salaries and wages was $46.6 million and included 784.18 full-time equivalents (FTE).
The following table displays the FY 2019 through FY 2024 personnel expenditure projections by
category.
Adjustments within the salary and wages category incorporate only those expenditures associated
with staff included in the FY 2019 Adopted Budget. Position adds identified for FY 2020-2024 to
support critical expenditures are discussed below. Personnel expenditures are projected to increase
through the PUD Outlook period primarily due to general salary and special pay increases, retiree
healthcare benefits or OPEB, pension payments or ADC, and workers’ compensation expenditure
increases. The PUD Outlook does not project for any impact of future MOUs with REOs, and therefore
salary and wages forecasts are fixed to the last negotiated amounts. The City of San Diego Fiscal Year
2020-2024 Five-Year Financial Outlook for the General Fund includes a more detailed discussion of
the various personnel expenditure components including projection methodologies and
assumptions.
Critical Operating Expenditures
Table 3.3 above identifies additional personnel expenditures, including fringe benefits, for the
addition of staff to support enhancements to the Customer Services Office Program, expansion of the
Pure Water Program, expansion of Enterprise Asset Management (EAM), and improvements to
procurement processes. The PUD Outlook also identifies the transfer of 3.50 full-time equivalents
from the Water Utility Fund to the General Fund beginning in FY 2020 to support the facilities
maintenance consolidation efforts.
The identified funding needs for the Pure Water Program are for the operation and maintenance of
new and expanding Pure Water facilities and staffing needs. A total of 45.00 full-time equivalent
positions are anticipated to be required by Pure Water in FY 2023. Because most of the position

Critical Operating Expenditures
Table 3.11 above identifies increased energy and utility expenditures associated with the expansion
of the Pure Water Program. These expenditures are necessary as new and expanding Pure Water
facilities come online and include increased electricity, water, and natural gas expenditures necessary
for the daily operation of facilities.
Reserve Contributions
The City has established accounts within the Water Utility Fund for four reserve funds: The Emergency
Operating Reserve (Operating Reserve), the Secondary Purchase Reserve, the Rate Stabilization Fund
Reserve (Rate Stabilization Fund), and the Emergency Capital Reserve (Capital Reserve). The
Department maintain these reserve funds in accordance with the City’s reserve policy (the City Reserve
Policy). As of June 30, 2018, the Water Utility Fund had estimated total reserves of approximately
$130.5 million.
Table 3.12 below details reserve targets and projected funding levels. Reserves are projected to be
fully funded throughout the PUD Outlook period. The Water Fund Rate Stabilization Reserve Fund is
funded above targeted levels; it can be used to provide one -time operating revenue to offset or
mitigate the need for sudden or dramatic rate increases. This Outlook does not project use of the
Water Fund Rate Stabilization Reserve over its period, but the potential to use the Rate Stabilization
Reserve Fund does exist, and will be evaluated as part of the Cost of Service Study that will be prepared
in 2019.

Water System Capital Improvement Program
The Water System CIP is established to address current and future system needs in a cost-effective
manner. The program’s principal drivers are:
• implementation of the Pure Water Program;
• improving infrastructure to reduce pipeline breaks and emergency repairs;
• improving process technology;
• expansion of the Water System to accommodate growth; and
• compliance with the Federal Safe Drinking Water Act and the Division of Drinking Water (DDW)
Compliance Order.
Infrastructure improvements generally consist of water treatment plants, pipelines, reservoirs and
pump stations, projects related to anticipated growth within the City’s service area, and projects
required by or related to applicable State and Federal regulations and orders.
The following table shows categories of projects with the estimated cost of expenditures contained in
the CIP for the period of Fiscal Years 2020 through 2024.

Capital Improvement Financing Plan
Table 4.2 below describes the projected sources of funds to finance the Water System CIP for Fiscal
Years 2020 through 2024.
As shown in Table 4.2, the PUD anticipates incurring approximately $658.0 million of additional debt
obligations in Fiscal Years 2020 through 2024 for the Water System CIP and $683.0 million of additional
obligations in Fiscal Years 2020 through 2024 for the Pure Water CIP. Capacity fees and cash are
anticipated to fund an additional $331.0 million.
The City anticipates to finance the costs of certain projects in the Water System Baseline CIP in the
approximate amount of $214.1 million through SRF loans. This includes approximately $17 million
from existing SRF loans for which the City has already applied and $204 million from loan s for which
the City plans to apply. The proceeds from additional SRF loans will provide funding in Fiscal Years
2020 through 2024. SRF loans are one of the least expensive sources of financing available to the City.
If the City is not awarded the additional SRF loans projected over this PUD Outlook period, it will have
to evaluate using other financing sources that carry higher interest rates – potentially impacting water
rates – and/or postponing various CIP projects.
The City anticipates financing approximately $443.5 million of the Baseline Water System CIP through
a combination of revenue bonds and commercial paper. It is expected that $14.4 million in funding
for the Water System CIP per year will come from capacity fees in FYs 2020 through 2024. Any
remaining costs of the Water System Baseline CIP are anticipated to be paid on a pay-as-you-go-basis.
The Department anticipates financing up to $614 million of the Pure Water Project through the WIFIA
Loan which will provide funding in Fiscal Years 2019 through 2023. The remainder of the projects for
Phase 1 of the Pure Water Program are expected to be financed through revenue bonds, commercial

WASTEWATER SYSTEM
This section discusses baseline revenue and expenditure projections, upcoming critical operational
expenditures, projected capital improvement program needs and financing options for the next five
years for the Wastewater System. The Wastewater System is comprised of the Metropolitan and
Municipal Utility Funds, collectively known as the “Sewer Revenue Funds”. All revenue and expenditure
projections, including CIP are presented as “Sewer Revenue Funds” in the following sections.
Wastewater System Revenues
The following section provides details of revenue projections for the Wastewater System Sewer
Revenue Funds FY 2020-2024 Five-Year Financial Outlook. The primary revenue sources of the
Wastewater System are generated from sewer service charges, capacity fees, interest earnings from
the investments of available funds, and revenues from the Participating Agencies. This section will
discuss in detail each revenue category and will include a description of the revenue source, projected
growth rates, and a discussion of future revenue streams and how it impacts the Wastewater System.
Sewer Service Charges
The Department manages and operates the Sewer System with funds derived primarily from service
charges that are deposited in the Sewer Revenue Funds and are used for the operation, maintenance
and capital improvement of the Metropolitan Sub-System and the Municipal Sub-System.
The City establishes fees based upon the costs incurred by the City to collect, treat and discharge
wastewater and pay for required capital improvements.
Sewer service charges are based on the characteristics of the wastewater discharged b y each sewer
user. All sewer users are charged based upon the amount of flow, solids and organic material which
they discharge into the Sewer System. As sewage discharge is not metered, water consumption is
used to approximate each customer’s sewage flow.
Sewer service charge revenues are comprised of two parts: a base fee and a sewer service charge
(flow charge). The base fee is a fixed monthly service fee charged to all customers to recover certain
fixed and indirect costs. Since the indirect costs are common to all users, the costs are shared equally
by all user meters. The flow charge is based on the amount (flow) and strength of the wastewater
discharged to the sewer system, and incorporates allowances for system return that differs by
customer class. This adjustment factor recognizes that not all water consumed discharges to the
wastewater system. The flow charge for both Single Family Residential (SFR) and Multi Family
Residential (MFR) customers include a 95% return to sewer, while Commercial /Industrial (C/I)
customers average a 73% return to sewer and vary depending on the type of business. Additionally,
the flow charge for SFR customers is based on the least amount of water used during the previous
winter and includes a water usage cap of 20 HCF.

2022/04/26 City Council Post Agenda Page 514 of 667
Table 5.1 below displays the existing sewer rates for FY 2019.
Forecast. The following table shows the budget and year-end projection for FY 2019 and the forecast
for FY 2020 through FY 2024 for revenue from sewer service charges. This revenue source represents
approximately 65 percent of the Sewer Revenue Funds overall revenue receipts. The forecast assumes
a 0.25 percent increase in accounts and reflects projected rate increases beginning in FY 2021 through
FY 2024.
Discussion. The Department last presented a wastewater rate case in 2006 (the 2006 Rate Case). The
2006 Rate Case covered four years and was based on comprehensive forecasted annual operations
and maintenance costs including capital costs expenditures. The 2006 Rate Case covered Fiscal Years
2007 through 2010 and was approved by the City Council in February 2007. The rate case included
rate increases of 8.75% on May 1, 2007, 8.75% on May 1, 2008, 7.00% on May 1, 2009, and 7.00% May
1, 2010.
In May of 2018, The department conducted a FY 2018 Wastewater Financial Plan Study and Cost of
Service Review Report (the Study) prepared by Raftelis Financial Consultants, Inc. (Raftelis). The
objectives of the study were to review current wastewater rates and the cost of providing service to
determine if rates need to increase or be adjusted based on revenue requirements and /or updated
flow characteristics. The Study reviewed and developed a financial plan for the wastewater system to
ensure financial sufficiency, meet operation and maintenance (O&M) costs, and ensure sufficient
funding for capital improvements.
Based on the Study, Raftelis found that existing wastewater revenues were sufficient and additional
rate adjustments are not necessary to meet operating fund requirements for FY 2019 and FY 2020.

However, construction of Phase 1 of the Pure Water Program is expected to begin in FY 2020 and
projected rate increases are anticipated to be necessary to fund the Pure Water Program beyond FY
2020 in addition to the baseline CIP.
Accordingly, this PUD Outlook assumes preliminary wastewater rate increases of 3% in FY 2021, 5% in
FY 2022 and 2023, and 5.5% in FY 2024. Actual rate increase will be determined through a cost of
service study and presented to the City Council for review. For more details on projected financing for
the CIP, refer the Wastewater Capital Improvement program section of this report.
Sensitivity Analysis. While these projections represent PUD’s best estimate of wastewater revenues
throughout the PUD Outlook period, actual results will depend on the factors discussed above. The
impact in revenue from potential rate increases ranges from $2.8 to $3.2 million for each percent
added or subtracted from projected rate increases depending on the year in which sewer service
charges are adjusted. Adjustments to projected rates in earlier years would compound this amount.
Wastewater Capacity Charges
Background. Capacity charges are development fees imposed on permits for new or expanded
wastewater connections, and are based on an estimate of the increase in wastewater consumption
as measured by equivalent dwelling units. Capacity charge proceeds are used to construct, improve
and expand the Wastewater System to accommodate the additional business of such added dwellings
or commercial or industrial units.
As with water capacity charges, wastewater capacity charges can be applied only for the purpose of
paying costs associated with capital expansion, bonds, contracts, or other indebtedness of the
Wastewater System related to expansion. Because capacity charges are primarily collected on new
construction within the City, revenues obtained from such charges vary based upon construction
activity.
In February 2007, the City Council and Mayor approved raising the capacity charge to $4,124 per
Equivalent Dwelling Unit (“EDU”), which was estimated to provide for full cost recovery for Wastewater
System expansion projects. The City will be undertaking a cost of service study in FY 2020 to review
existing capacity rates.
Forecast. The following table presents wastewater capacity charge revenue received between FY 2014
to FY 2018, FY 2019 Budget and the forecast for FY 2020 through FY 2024 for revenue from sewer
capacity charges. This revenue source represents 5 percent of the Wastewater System’s overall
revenue receipts.
Projected revenues for wastewater capacity charges use conservative growth estimates based on
spending trends from FY 2014 through FY 2018 as shown in Figure 1 below and projected construction

permitting activity. Average wastewater capacity fee revenue between FY 2014 and FY 2018 was
approximately $19.9 million. However, due to a projected decrease in the housing market beginning
in FY 2020, wastewater capacity charge revenue was conservatively adjusted downward. The
wastewater capacity charge budget for FY 2019 has been budgeted historically low and may be
adjusted to reflect historical and projected revenue trends in the FY 2020 budget.
Economic Trends. As previously mentioned, wastewater capacity charges are primarily based on new
wastewater connections related to new construction and are directly influenced by population growth
and residential and commercial development. As discussed in the Water Capacity Charges section of
this report, San Diego's population has grown by approximately seven percent between the 2000
Census and the 2010 Census for an aggregate increase of 84,000. As population continues to increase
in the region, the demand for new single and multi-family housing is also expected to increase in order
to meet population demands. For a more detailed discussion on population and housing growth,
refer to the Water Capacity Charges section of this report.
Other Revenue
The primary component of the Other Revenue category is revenues received from Participating
Agencies for sewer system charges. These represent 70.1 percent of FY 2018 revenues in the Other
Revenue category. The Other Revenue category also includes revenue received from the Water Utility
Fund pertaining to the sales of reclaimed water, interest on pooled investments, reimbursements
from services provided to other City departments / funds, grants revenue, and other miscellaneous
revenues.
The following table displays the FY 2019 through FY 2024 projections for the Other Revenue category.

No growth rate is applied to the Other Revenue category for the PUD Outlook period. However,
revenues are projected to increase from FY 2020 through FY 2024 based on historical analysis and
other adjustments made on known and anticipated events. The projected increases primarily consist
of sewer system charges to Participating Agencies to reflect anticipated increases in shared costs of
Pure Water Program expenses, and projected increases in pooled investments. Per their agreement
with the City, Participating Agencies pay their actual costs for service and capital expenses; if projected
expenditures associated with the Participating Agencies increase or decrease, this will ultimately be
offset by increased or decreased revenue from the Participating Agencie s.

WASTEWATER SYSTEM EXPENDITURES
The Wastewater System expenditures are comprised of both personnel and non-personnel
expenditures including debt service and other non-discretionary payments. The following sections will
discuss in detail each expenditure category and will include a description of the expenditure, projected
growth rates, and a discussion of critical strategic expenditures.
Personnel Expenditures
Personnel expenditures includes the salaries and wages category as well as fringe benefits category.
The salaries and wages category is comprised of regular salaries and wages, special pays, overtime,
step increases, and vacation pay in lieu, whereas the fringe benefits category includ es pension
payments or Actuarially Determined Contribution (ADC), flexible benefits, retiree health or Other Post-
Employment Benefits (OPEB), workers’ compensation, Supplemental Pension Savings Plan (SPSP), and
other fringe benefits. The FY 2019 Adopted Budget for the Sewer Funds salaries and wages was $55.3
million and included 871.74 full-time equivalents (FTE). The following table displays the FY 2019
through FY 2024 personnel expenditure projections by category.
Adjustments within the salary and wages category incorporate only those expenditures associated
with staff included in the FY 2019 Adopted Budget. Position additions identified for FY 2020-2024 to
support critical strategic expenditures are discussed below. Personnel expenditures are projected to
increase through the Outlook period primarily due to general salary and special pay increases, retiree
healthcare benefits or OPEB, pension payments or ADC, and workers’ compensation expenditure
increases. The PUD Outlook does not project for any impact of future MOUs with REOs, and therefore
salary and wages forecasts are fixed to the last negotiated amounts.

Table 5.6 above identifies increased personnel expenditures, including fringe benefits, for the addition
of staff to support enhancements to the Customer Services Office Program, expansion of inventory
asset management (EAM), and improvements to procurement processes. The PUD Outlook also
identifies the transfer of 4.50 full-time equivalents from the Water Utility Fund to the General Fund
beginning in FY 2020 to support the facilities maintenance consolidation efforts.
The identified funding needs for the Pure Water Program are for the operation and maintenance of
new and expanding Pure Water facilities and staffing needs. A total of 13.00 full-time equivalent
positions were identified to be required by FY 2022. Because these position classifications identified
by the Department’s consultant do not yet exist within the City, projected salary costs were based on
industry estimates.
Supplies
The Supplies category includes costs for chemicals, machine parts, electrical materials, laboratory
supplies, and pipe fittings. The following table displays the FY 2019 through FY 2024 projections for
the Supplies category.
The Supplies category includes various costs. Each cost component has a different applicable rate.
Growth rates for each category are based on historical analysis, and other adjustments made on
known and anticipated events. As a result, the growth rate for the Supplies category represents a
weighted growth rate that was calculated after applying the correspondi ng growth rate for each
component.

Energy & Utilities
The Energy and Utilities category includes the Water Fund’s costs for electricity, wa ter services, fuel,
and other utility and energy expenses. The following table displays the FY 2019 through FY 2024
projections for the Energy and Utilities category.
The Energy and Utilities category includes various costs. Each cost component has a dif ferent
applicable rate. Growth rates for each category are based on the Annual Energy Outlook 2018 report
prepared by the U.S. Energy Information Administration with the exception of sewer service charges,
which are based on the 2006 cost of service study and projected rates. As a result, the growth rate for
the Energy and Utilities category represents a weighted growth rate that was calculated after applying
the corresponding growth rate for each component.
Critical Strategic Expenditures
Table 5.14 above identifies increased energy and utility expenditures associated with the expansion
of the Pure Water Program. These expenditures are necessary as new and expanding Pure Water
facilities come online and include expenditures for the Morena pump station, North City Water
Reclamation Plant, and Metro Biosolids Center facilities.
Reserve Contributions
The City has established accounts within the Sewer Revenue Fund for three reserve funds: The
Emergency Operating Reserve (Operating Reserve), the Rate Stabilization Fund Reserve (Rate
Stabilization Fund), and the Emergency Capital Reserve (Capital Reserve). The Department operates
these reserve funds in accordance with the City’s reserve policy (the City Reserve Policy). As of June
30, 2018, the Sewer Revenue Fund had estimated total reserves of approximately $114.5 million.
Table 5.15 below details reserve targets and projected fund levels. Reserves are projected to be fully
funded throughout the Outlook period. The Sewer Fund’s Rate Stabilization Reserve Fund is funded
above targeted levels; it can be used to provide one -time operating revenue to offset or mitigate the
need for sudden or dramatic rate increases. This PUD Outlook does project use of the Sewer Fund’s

Wastewater System Capital Improvement Program
The Wastewater System CIP is established to address current and future system needs in a cost-
effective manner. While operation and maintenance expenditures support day-to-day operations, the
Wastewater System Capital Improvement Program (CIP) supports the infrastructure for reliable
wastewater collection, treatment and replacement of existing wastewater assets. As a result, PUD has
developed a long-term CIP that identifies future facility needs. Furthermore, in order to improve its
aging infrastructure, the City works towards the replacement and rehabilitation of 45 miles of sewer
pipeline each year. The Wastewater System’s CIP for this Outlook period includes improvements to
the Wastewater System infrastructure, as well as Phase 1 of the multi-year Pure Water Program.
The following table shows categories of projects with the estimated cost of expenditures contained in
the CIP for the period of Fiscal Years 2020 through 2024.

The Capital Improvement Financing Plan
Table 5.19 below describes the projected sources of funds to finance the Wastewater System CIP for
Fiscal Years 2020 through 2024.
The Department anticipates financing up to $464 million for Wastewater’s portion of the Pure Water
Project through low-interest State Revolving Fund (SRF) loans which will provide funding in Fiscal Years
2020 through 2022. The remainder of the costs for Phase 1 of the Pure Water Program are expected
to be financed through revenue bond financing (short-term and/or long-term), and cash, which
includes a State funding allocation of $30 million that will be allocated to both Water and Wastewater
fund costs. The State funding allocation is anticipated to be available for encumbrance or expenditure
through June 30, 2021.
As noted in the discussion of the Water System CIP, SRF loans are one of the least expensive sources
of financing available to the City. Financing from anticipated SRF loans represents a significant portion
of funding for the Wastewater System CIP, and is anticipated to provide the majority of funding for
Wastewater’s Pure Water expenses. If the City is not awarded the SRF loans projected over this
Outlook period, it will need to seek financing sources that carry higher interest rates. Such financing
sources could impact projected sewer service charge increases.
The City has existing SRF loans which will be used to finance approximately $41 million of Wastewater
System Baseline CIP in Fiscal Years 2020 through 2023. Additionally, the City anticipates financing
approximately $318 million of the Wastewater System Baseline CIP through revenue bonds in Fiscal
Years 2022 through 2024. It is expected that $16 million in funding for Wastewater System CIP will
come from capacity fees in Fiscal Years 2020 thr ough 2024. Any remaining costs of the Wastewater
System Baseline CIP will be paid on a pay-as-you-go-basis. Projected funding for Wastewater’s Pure
Water and Baseline CIP is supported in Fiscal Years 2020 and 2021 by currently approved Wastewater
rates, and by projected rates for Fiscal Years 2022 through 2024.

PURPOSE:
POLICY EFFECTIVE
NUMBER DATE PAGE
220-04 12/17/13 1 of 4
DATED: December 17, 2013
Public entities accumulate and maintain adequate reserves levels to help ensure both financial stability
and the ability to provide core services during difficult times. Adequately funded reserves allow for:
1) funding infrastructure replacement, 2) economic uncertainties and other financial hardships; 3)
future debt and capital obligations, 4) cash flow requirements, 6) improved credit ratings, 5) unfunded
mandates including costly regulatory requirements.
BACKGROUND:
The City's Sewer Enterprise Funds account for specific services funded directly by fees and charges
users of the City's sewer system. These funds are intended to be self-supporting as well as restricted
and cannot be used for other City services. They account for revenues and expenses related to the
City`s sewer programs; including maintenance and expansion of the City's conveyance system and
payment of San Diego Metro wastewater treatment costs.
The Sewer Service Revenue Enterprise Fund accounts for revenue collected from monthly sewer
service charges for all properties that are connected to the City's sewer system. These funds can only
be used for sewer related operations and maintenance. The primary use of these funds is payment for
the City's annual San Diego Metropolitan Sewer Capacity and to fund maintenance and operational
costs associated with the sewer collection system.
The Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA), an international organization that promotes
the professional financial management of governments for the public interest, recommends
maintaining minimum reserve balances. A government's particular situation may require levels of
reserves significantly in excess of their recommended minimum levels. Cities with higher reserve
levels are better positioned to protect public services during economic downturns.
GFOA recommends that in establishing a policy governing the level of reserves or working capital in
enterprise funds; a government should consider a variety, of factors, including but not limited to the
following:
The predictability of its revenues and the volatility of its expenditures (i.e. higher levels of
reserves may be needed if significant revenue sources are subject to unpredictable fluctuations
or if operating expenditures are highly volatile.)
Liquidity (i.e. a disparity between when financial resources actually become available to make
payments and the average maturity of related liabilities ma}require that a higher level of
resources be maintained).
Designations (i.e. governments may wish to maintain higher levels of reserves to compensate
for any portion of available fund balance already designated for a specific purpose).

This Policy establishes four distinct reserves within the Sewer Service Revenue Fund:
1. Working Capital and Rate Stabilization Reserve
2. Emergency Reserve
3. Vehicle Replacement Reserve
4. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) Permit Renewal Liability Reserve
Working Capital and Rate Stabilization Reserve
Working Capital and Rate Stabilization reserves in the Sewer Service Revenue Fund will be restricted
to maintaining and operating the wastewater collection system and paying treatment charges to City of
San Diego Metropolitan Wastewater ("Metro'). The reserve will be funded from revenues
accumulated in the Sewer Service Revenue Fund. It is intended to accommodate any natural
variability in revenues and expenditures, including potential disruptions of cash flows due to varied
billing methodology, short tern fluctuations and annual cycles. The reserve will also assist in
addressing shortfalls which may occur due to unanticipated cost increases in labor or energy and other
consumption based goods and services, such as wastewater treatment services provided by Metro.
The reserves represent unrestricted resources available for appropriation by the City Council
addressing unforeseen needs for sewer services.
The Working Capital and Rate Stabilization Reserves will assist the City in addressing the following
items:
Rate Stabilization — the reserves will allow the City the flexibility to "smooth" rates and phase
increases in over multiple years, which is prudent given the potential variability in the City's
payments to Metro.
Revenue Collection Fluctuations - the reserves will be used to protect the City from natural
fluctuations in revenue and expenditure cycles which is prudent given that the City bills
customers at different points in time but incurs expenses continuously throughout the year.
Rates of delinquencies — delays in collection of outstanding revenues.
Payroll cycles — the timing of a fixed cash requirement for payroll, as related to the timing of
revenue cycles.
Unanticipated expenses - expenses whose characteristics make accurate estimation difficult,
such as increases in wastewater treatment services provided by the City of San Diego, energy
costs, labor benefits and other consumption based goods and services.
The City shall maintain a Sewer Revenue reserve equivalent to 90 days of operating expenditures and
a Rate Stabilization reserve equivalent to 90 days of operating expenditures for a minimum combined
total of 180 days and a maximum reserve balance of 125% of the minimum balance.

If funds are appropriated from the Sewer Revenue Working Capital and Rate Stabilization Reserves.
the funds should be replenished in the budget process during subsequent fiscal years to the minimum
reserve balance. If the magnitude of the event caused the Sewer Revenue Working Capital and a
Stabilization Reserves to be less than 30 days of the operating and maintenance budget. the Finance
Director shall provide the City Council with a plan to incrementally replenish the reserves to the 180
days minimum reserve balance.
Emergency Reserve
The Sewer Service Revenue Fund Emergency Reserve is necessary to secure funding for insurance
deductibles. unforeseen liabilities/litigation and settlement costs related to the City's wastewater
System.
The City shall maintain a minimum Sewer Service Revenue Fund Emergency Reserve target level of
5% of the operating and maintenance budget and a maximum reserve balance of 12' of the
minimum balance. If funds are appropriated from the Sewer Revenue Emergency Reserves due to
unanticipated needs; the Finance Director shall provide the City Council with a plan to incrementally
replenish the reserves to the minimum reserve balance.
Vehicle Replacement Reserve
The Sewer Service Revenue Fund Vehicle Replacement Reserves represents monies set aside to fund
the replacement of aging vehicles. The allocation is funded from revenues accumulated in the Sewer
Service Revenue Fund.
The City shall maintain a minimum Sewer Service Fund Vehicle Replacement Reserve target of 2%
of the operating and maintenance budget. This reserve will ensure that vehicles utilized for sewer
operations are replaced as scheduled and available to deploy as needed.
To achieve a minimum impact to cost of services and rates, funds will be included in the proposed
budget on an annual basis as identified in the City's Vehicle Replacement schedule. The cost of
replacing all the vehicles will be averaged over the lifespan of the existing fleet. This will generate a
more normalized cost of services by evenly distributing revenue requirements on a year-to-year basis
offsetting temporary cash flow deficiencies and avoid significant increases in rates charges to
customers in the years the replacement cost are incurred.
USEPA Permit Renewal Liability Reserve
The Sewer Service Revenue Fund USEPA Permit Renewal Liability Reserve will account for monies
set aside to fund the City of San Diego Metropolitan Wastewater costs related to the potential upgrade
of the Point Loma Wastewater Treatment Plant (PLWTP) or other alternative for secondary treatment.
The reserve will be funded from revenues accumulated in the Sewer Service Revenue Fund.

Metro's USEPA waiver expires in FY 2015 and may not be renewed. If denied. Metro would need to
develop and implement improvements to achieve secondary treatment level at PLWTP. Current cost
estimates to establish full secondary treatment at PLWTP as well as possible alternatives are all
significant (>$1 Billion). As a contributing member to the regional treatment plant, the City of Chula
Vista's share in the cost of any upgrade would be approximately 10 percent for the capital
improvements and any increase in the overall treatment cost. It is expected that Metro will have 10
years after the expiration of the USEPA waiver to institute secondary treatment or alternative. This
reserve establishes a dedicated fund that will offset a portion of the City's share of any obligation
related to the PLWTP USEPA waiver. By actively planning for the PLWTP upgrade or alternative,
the City will be in a stronger financial position to afford such costs while mitigating impacts to
ratepayers.
The Permit Renewal Liability Reserve will be funded through annual contributions with the intent to
reach a target balance of 20% of Chula Vista's share of the upgrade cost by FY 2024/25 (10 years
after the expiration of the waiver). If substantial increases in Metro -related costs occur sooner than
expected, the City may draw down reserve levels prior to FY 2024/25 to manage impacts to
ratepayers. To be consistent with the City's policy for managing balances for its other utility reserves,
if funds are appropriated from the reserve before its intended use, the funds should be replenished in
subsequent fiscal years. If the magnitude of the withdrawal is material, the Finance Director shall
provide the City Council with a plan to incrementally replenish the reserves.
If the actual costs for the PLWTP upgrade or alternative are less than anticipated, any unspent reserves
will be rolled into the Working Capital and Rate stabilization reserve and utilized to fund City sewer
programs, including maintenance and expansion of the City's conveyance system and payment of San
Diego Metro wastewater treatment costs.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
REGARDING PROPOSED SEWER RATES IN CHULA VISTA, CALIFORNIA
Public Hearing Date & Time: Tuesday, April 26, 2022 5:00 P.M.
How do you participate in the public hearing?
This meeting of the City of Chula Vista (City) City Council will be held at City Hall, 276 Fourth Avenue, Chula
Vista, CA 91910. Please check the final City Council meeting agenda, which will be published no later than 72
hours prior to the meeting. The agenda may be obtained online at www.chulavistaca.gov, by email to
cityclerk@chulavistaca.gov, or by calling (619) 691-5041.
Why are you receiving this notice?
The City is mailing this notice to you because you are a sewer customer or are the owner of record of a property
that receives sewer service. This notice describes proposed changes to the sewer rates that were last modified on
July 1, 2018 and gives information about a public hearing that will be held on Tuesday, April 26, 2022, at
5:00xP.M, at City Hall, 276 Fourth Avenue, Chula Vista, CA 91910 concerning the proposed rate increases. If
you are the property owner of record and you have a tenant that is responsible to pay sewer rate bills to the City,
please forward this notice to the tenant.
What do sewer rates fund?
The City provides sewer service to about 50,000 residential and commercial customers. Monthly sewer rates
charged to system users (customers) are the primary source of revenue to operate and maintain the sewer system
and are used for this purpose. Sewer rate revenue provides funding for operation and maintenance of City-owned
sewer collection and conveyance facilities, capital projects, debt service, administration, as well as costs related
to prudent long-term operation and financial management of the utility system, such as maintaining adequate
reserves and planning for contingencies. Since the City does not operate its own wastewater treatment facilities,
sewer rate revenue is also used to pay for wastewater treatment provided by the City of San Diego Metropolitan
Wastewater Authority (Metro).
2022/04/26 City Council Post Agenda Page 537 of 667
Page 2 of 4
Why are rate increases needed?
In 2021, a financial rate study was completed by Willdan Financial Services, an independent third-party financial
consultant, to evaluate the financial condition of the sewer utility, specifically the ability of current sewer rates to
generate sufficient revenue to cover the costs of the sewer utility. The proposed sewer rate increases need to fund
the operation of the sewer utility, including costs to fund future capital expenditures, increased costs related to
operations and maintenance and increasing payments for third-party costs from the City of San Diego’s
metropolitan wastewater treatment. In order to meet the projected costs identified in the financial rate study, the
proposed rate changes include zero change through June 30, 2022, followed by rate increases of 4.5% from July
1, 2022 through June 30, 2023, 5% from July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024, 5% from July 1, 2024 through June
30, 2025, and 5.5% from July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026. The rate structure consists of a base charge and is
fixed and a charge that varies based on water usage (volumetric charge). The structure of the rates with a fixed
and volumetric charge is proposed to remain in place. The financial rate study projected expenses from Metro
which currently comprises about 65% of the City’s sewer expenses. The actual and future expenses are not known
or controlled by the City. These charges will be evaluated annually, and rate increases, or decreases will be passed
through and applied to the sewer rates. Notice of future changes will be sent 30 days in advance of billing in
compliance with Government Code Section 53756. The full financial rate study is available on the City’s website
at www.chulavistaca.gov/SewerRates.
How do you file a protest?
If an owner or customer of record of a parcel subject to the proposed sewer rate increases wishes to oppose the
increases, the owner or customer of record must submit a written protest against the proposed sewer rate
increases. If written protests are filed by a majority of the affected property parcels, the proposed rate increases
will not be adopted.
A written protest to the proposed sewer rate increases must clearly state and contain the following information:
(a) an opposition to the proposed change, (b) the street address or Assessor's Parcel Number for the parcel(s)
affected by the proposed sewer rate increases, (c) an original signature and legibly printed name of the affected
record owner or customer, a protest form can be printed from the City’s website
(www.chulavistaca.gov/SewerRates). Written protests may be mailed, or hand delivered during business hours to
the City Clerk at: 276 Fourth Ave., Chula Vista, CA 91910, hand delivered after business hours and deposited in
the drop box located in front of the Finance Department main entrance at 276 Fourth Ave., Building A, Chula
Vista, CA 91910, or hand delivered during the public hearing to City Council Chambers, located at City Hall, 276
Fourth Ave., Building A, Chula Vista, CA 91910. To be counted, written protests must be received by the City
prior to the close of the above-noticed public hearing, including those written protests that are mailed to the City.
Written protests that are post-marked prior to above-noticed public hearing date and time but not physically
received by the City prior to the close of the above-noticed public hearing will not be counted. Faxed, emailed,
or verbal protests will not be accepted as an original signature is required.

How to submit comments?
The City Council welcomes your participation in its ratemaking and will consider all comments presented at the
public hearing, including comments on the proposed rates, rate-making formulas, and the basis upon which rates
are calculated in the financial rate study prepared by Willdan Financial Services. It will consider as-applied
questions (how the rates apply to you or your property) as well as facial issues (how the rates apply to all
customers). Comments can be submitted through the online eComment portal for a City Council meeting at
www.chulavistaca.gov/councilmeetings or in person. Comments must be received prior to the time the City
Council calls for the close of the commenting period. Although only written protests by a property owner or a
customer subject to the charges will count toward a majority protest, the City Council welcomes all input,
including oral and electronic comments from the community during the public hearing.
Who should I call with questions?
Questions can be sent via email to wastewater@chulavistaca.gov or (619) 476-5380.
Are special accommodations available?
Individuals with disabilities or special needs are invited to request modifications or accommodations to access
and/or participate in a City meeting by contacting the City Clerk’s Office at cityclerk@chulavistaca.gov or (619)
691-5041 (California Relay Service is available for the hearing impaired by dialing 711) at least forty-eight hours

NOTE: In accordance with Government Code section 53759, any judicial action or proceeding to attack,
review, set aside, void, validate, or annul an ordinance, resolution, or motion adopting a fee or charge for
water or sewer service, or modifying or amending an existing fee or charge for water or sewer service, shall

AVISO DE AUDIENCIA PUBLICA
SOBRE LAS TARIFAS PROPUESTAS DEL SERVICIO DE ALCANTARILLADO DE CHULA VISTA, CA
Fecha y Hora de la Audiencia Pública: martes 26 de abril del 2022 a las 5:00 p.m.
¿Cómo puede participar en la audiencia pública?
Esta sesión del Cabildo de la Ciudad de Chula Vista se llevará a cabo en las oficinas municipales, 276 Fourth
Avenue, Chula Vista, CA. 91910. Favor de consultar la agenda final de la sesión de Cabildo de la Ciudad, que se
publicará a más tardar 72 horas antes de la reunión. La agenda se puede obtener en línea en
www.chulavistaca.gov, por correo electrónico en cityclerk@chulavistaca.gov, o llamando al (619) 691-5041.
¿Por qué recibió este aviso?
La Ciudad le envió este aviso porque usted es un cliente o es el dueño registrado de una propiedad que recibe el
servicio de alcantarillado. Este aviso describe los cambios propuestos a las tarifas del servicio de alcantarillado
que se modificaron por última vez el 1 de julio del 2018 y brinda información de una audiencia pública sobre los
aumentos de tarifas propuestos que se llevará a cabo el martes 26 de abril del 2022 a las 5:00 p.m., en las oficinas
municipales, 276 Fourth Avenue, Chula Vista, CA 91910. Si usted es el dueño registrado de la propiedad y tiene
un inquilino que es responsable del pago de las facturas del servicio de alcantarillado a la Ciudad, favor de reenviar
este aviso al inquilino.
¿Qué financian las tarifas del servicio de alcantarillado?
La Ciudad ofrece el servicio de alcantarillado a aproximadamente 50,000 clientes residenciales y comerciales.
Las tarifas mensuales del alcantarillado que se cobran a los usuarios del sistema (clientes) son la principal fuente
de ingresos para operar y mantener el sistema de alcantarillado y se utilizan para este propósito. Los ingresos
obtenidos por las tarifas del servicio de alcantarillado proporcionan fondos para la operación y mantenimiento de
las instalaciones de recolección y transporte del sistema de alcantarillado de la Ciudad, proyectos de capital,
servicio de la deuda, administración, así como costos relacionados con la operación prudente a largo plazo y la
gestión financiera del sistema de servicios públicos, como el mantenimiento adecuado de las reservas y la
planificación para contingencias. Dado que la Ciudad no opera sus propias instalaciones de tratamiento de aguas
residuales, los ingresos obtenidos por las tarifas del servicio de alcantarillado también se utilizan para pagar el
tratamiento de aguas residuales proporcionado por la Autoridad Metropolitana de Aguas Residuales de la Ciudad
de San Diego (Metro).
2022/04/26 City Council Post Agenda Page 541 of 667
Page 2 of 4
¿Por qué son necesarios los aumentos de tarifas?
En 2021, Willdan Financial Services, un consultor financiero externo independiente, llevó a cabo un estudio de
tarifas financieras para evaluar la situación financiera del servicio de alcantarillado, específicamente la capacidad
de las tarifas actuales de alcantarillado para generar ingresos suficientes para cubrir los costos del servicio de
alcantarillado. Los aumentos propuestos en las tarifas del servicio de alcantarillado deben financiar la operación
del servicio de alcantarillado, incluyendo los costos para financiar gastos futuros de capital, el aumento de los
costos relacionados con la operación y mantenimiento, y el aumento de los pagos por costos a terceros del
tratamiento de aguas residuales metropolitanas de la Ciudad de San Diego. Para cumplir con los costos
proyectados que fueron identificados en el estudio de tarifas financieras, los cambios de tarifas propuestos
incluyen cero cambios hasta el 30 de junio del 2022, seguido de aumentos de tarifas del 4.5% desde el 1 de julio
del 2022 hasta el 30 de junio del 2023, 5% desde el 1 de julio del 2023 hasta el 30 de junio del 2024, 5% desde
el 1 de julio del 2024 hasta el 30 de junio del 2025, y 5.5% desde el 1 de julio del 2025 hasta el 30 de junio del
2026. La estructura tarifaria consiste en un cargo base y es fijo, y un cargo que varía según el consumo de agua
(carga volumétrica). Se propone mantener la estructura tarifaria con cargo fijo y volumétrico. El estudio de tarifas
financieras proyectó los gastos de Metro, que actualmente comprende alrededor del 65% de los gastos del
alcantarillado de la Ciudad. La Ciudad no conoce, ni controla los gastos actuales y futuros. Estos cargos se
evaluarán anualmente y los aumentos o disminuciones de tarifas se transferirán y aplicarán a las tarifas del servicio
de alcantarillado. Se enviará un aviso de futuros cambios 30 días previos a la facturación de conformidad con la
Sección 53756 del Código de Gobierno. El estudio completo de tarifas financieras está disponible en la página de
Internet de la Ciudad en www.chulavistaca.gov/SewerRates.
¿Cómo se presenta una protesta?
Si un propietario o cliente que está registrado en una parcela que está sujeta a los aumentos propuestos de tarifas
del servicio de alcantarillado desea oponerse a los aumentos, el propietario o cliente registrado debe presentar una
protesta por escrito contra los aumentos propuestos en las tarifas del servicio de alcantarillado. Si la mayoría de
las parcelas afectadas presentan protestas por escrito, no se adoptarán los aumentos de tarifas propuestos.
Una protesta por escrito por los aumentos propuestos en las tarifas del servicio de alcantarillado debe contener de
manera clara la siguiente información: (a) una oposición al cambio propuesto, (b) la dirección o el número de
parcela (APN) afectada(s) por los aumentos propuestos a las tarifas del servicio de alcantarillado, (c) una firma
original y el nombre impreso de manera legible del propietario o cliente del registro afectado, se puede imprimir
un formulario de protesta desde la página de Internet de la Ciudad (www.chulavistaca.gov/SewerRates). Las
protestas por escrito pueden enviarse por correo postal o ser entregadas personalmente durante el horario de
servicio a la Oficina del Secretario de la Ciudad en: 276 Fourth Ave., Chula Vista, CA 91910, depositarse
personalmente después del horario de servicio en el buzón ubicado frente a la entrada principal del Departamento
de Finanzas en el 276 Fourth Ave., Edificio A, Chula Vista, CA 91910, o ser entregadas a mano durante la
audiencia pública en la Sala de Cabildo de la Ciudad ubicada en las oficinas municipales, 276 Fourth Ave.,
Edificio A, Chula Vista, CA 91910. Para ser tomadas en cuenta, la Ciudad debe recibir las protestas por escrito
antes del cierre de la audiencia pública que se menciona en este aviso, incluyendo las protestas por escrito que se
envían por correo postal a la Ciudad. No se tomarán en cuenta las protestas por escrito que tengan un sello de
envío previo a la fecha y hora de la audiencia pública mencionada en este aviso, pero que la Ciudad no haya
recibido físicamente antes del cierre de la audiencia pública mencionada en este aviso. No se aceptarán protestas
enviadas por fax, correo electrónico, o protestas verbales, ya que requieren incluir una firma original.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
REGARDING PROPOSED SEWER RATES IN CHULA VISTA, CALIFORNIA
Public Hearing Date & Time: Tuesday, February 8, 2022 5:00 P.M.
How do you participate in the public hearing?
This meeting of the City of Chula Vista (City) City Council will be held at City Hall, 276 Fourth Avenue, Chula
Vista, CA 91910. Please check the final City Council meeting agenda, which will be published no later than 72
hours prior to the meeting. The agenda may be obtained online at www.chulavistaca.gov, by email to
cityclerk@chulavistaca.gov, or by calling (619) 691-5041.
Why are you receiving this notice?
The City is mailing this notice to you because you are a sewer customer or are the owner of record of a property
that receives sewer service. This notice describes proposed changes to the sewer rates that were last modified on
July 1, 2018 and gives information about a public hearing that will be held on Tuesday, February 8, 2022, at 5:00
P.M,, at City Hall, 276 Fourth Avenue, Chula Vista, CA 91910 concerning the proposed rate increases. If you
are the property owner of record and you have a tenant that is responsible to pay sewer rate bills to the City, please
forward this notice to the tenant.
What do sewer rates fund?
The City provides sewer service to about 50,000 residential and commercial customers. Monthly sewer rates
charged to system users (customers) are the primary source of revenue to operate and maintain the sewer system
and are used for this purpose. Sewer rate revenue provides funding for operation and maintenance of City-owned
sewer collection and conveyance facilities, capital projects, debt service, administration, as well as costs related
to prudent long-term operation and financial management of the utility system, such as maintaining adequate
reserves and planning for contingencies. Since the City does not operate its own wastewater treatment facilities,
sewer rate revenue is also used to pay for wastewater treatment provided by the City of San Diego Metropolitan
Wastewater Authority (Metro).
Why are rate increases needed?
In 2021, a financial rate study was completed by Willdan Financial Services, an independent third party financial
consultant, to evaluate the financial condition of the sewer utility, specifically the ability of current sewer rates to
generate sufficient revenue to cover the costs of the sewer utility. The proposed sewer rate increases need to fund
the operation of the sewer utility, including costs to fund future capital expenditures, increased costs related to
operations and maintenance and increasing payments for third-party costs from the City of San Diego’s
metropolitan wastewater treatment. In order to meet the projected costs identified in the financial rate study, the
proposed rate changes include zero change through June 30, 2022, followed by rate increases of 4.5% from July
1, 2022 through June 30, 2023, 5% from July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024, 5% from July 1, 2024 through June
30, 2025, and 5.5% from July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026. The rate structure consists of a base charge and is
fixed and a charge that varies based on water usage (volumetric charge). The structure of the rates with a fixed
and volumetric charge is proposed to remain in place. The financial rate study projected expenses from Metro
which currently comprises about 65% of the City’s sewer expenses. The actual and future expenses are not known
or controlled by the City. These charges will be evaluated annually and rate increases or decreases will be passed
through and applied to the sewer rates. Notice of future changes will be sent 30 days in advance of billing in
compliance with Government Code Section 53756. The full financial rate study is available on the City’s website
at www.chulavistaca.gov/SewerRates.
2022/04/26 City Council Post Agenda Page 545 of 667
How do you file a protest?
If an owner or customer of record of a parcel subject to the proposed sewer rate increases wishes to oppose the
increases, the owner or customer of record must submit a written protest against the proposed sewer rate

AVISO DE AUDIENCIA PUBLICA
SOBRE LAS TARIFAS PROPUESTAS DEL SERVICIO DE ALCANTARILLADO EN CHULA VISTA, CA
Fecha y Hora de la Audiencia Pública: martes 8 de febrero del 2022 5:00 P.M.
¿Cómo puede participar en la audiencia pública?
La sesión de Cabildo de la Ciudad de Chula Vista se llevará a cabo en las oficinas municipales, 276 Fourth
Avenue, Chula Vista, CA. 91910. Favor de consultar la agenda final de la sesión de Cabildo de la Ciudad, que se
publicará a más tardar 72 horas antes de la reunión. La agenda se puede obtener en línea en
www.chulavistaca.gov, por correo electrónico en cityclerk@chulavistaca.gov, o llamando al (619) 691-5041.
¿Por qué recibió este aviso?
La Ciudad le envió este aviso porque usted es un cliente o es el dueño registrado de una propiedad que recibe el
servicio de alcantarillado. Este aviso describe los cambios propuestos a las tarifas del servicio de alcantarillado
que se modificaron por última vez el 1 de julio del 2018 y brinda información de una audiencia pública sobre los
aumentos de tarifas propuestos que se llevará a cabo el martes 8 de febrero del 2022 a las 5:00 P.M., en las oficinas
municipales, 276 Fourth Avenue, Chula Vista, CA 91910. Si usted es el dueño registrado de la propiedad y tiene
un inquilino que es responsable del pago de las facturas del servicio de alcantarillado a la Ciudad, favor de reenviar
este aviso al inquilino.
¿Qué financian las tarifas del servicio de alcantarillado?
La Ciudad ofrece el servicio de alcantarillado a aproximadamente 50,000 clientes residenciales y comerciales.
Las tarifas mensuales del alcantarillado que se cobran a los usuarios (clientes) son la principal fuente de ingresos
para operar y mantener el sistema de alcantarillado y se utilizan para este propósito. Los ingresos obtenidos por
las tarifas del servicio de alcantarillado proporcionan fondos para la operación y mantenimiento de las
instalaciones de recolección y transporte del sistema de alcantarillado de la Ciudad, proyectos de capital, servicio
de la deuda, administración, así como costos relacionados con la operación prudente a largo plazo y la gestión
financiera del sistema de servicios públicos, como el mantenimiento adecuado de las reservas y la planificación
para contingencias. Dado que la Ciudad no opera sus propias instalaciones de tratamiento de aguas residuales, los
ingresos obtenidos por las tarifas del servicio de alcantarillado también se utilizan para pagar el tratamiento de
aguas residuales proporcionado por la Autoridad Metropolitana de Aguas Residuales de la Ciudad de San Diego
(Metro).
¿Por qué se necesitan los aumentos de tarifas?
En 2021, Willdan Financial Services, un consultor financiero independiente, llevó a cabo un estudio de tarifas
financieras para evaluar la situación financiera de la red de alcantarillado, específicamente la capacidad de las
tarifas de alcantarillado actuales de generar ingresos suficientes para cubrir los costos de la red de alcantarillado.
Los aumentos propuestos en las tarifas del servicio de alcantarillado deben financiar la operación de la red de
alcantarillado, incluyendo los costos para financiar los gastos futuros de capital, el aumento de los costos
relacionados con la operación y mantenimiento, y el aumento de los pagos a terceros por costos del tratamiento
de aguas residuales metropolitanas de la Ciudad de San Diego. Para cumplir con los costos proyectados que fueron
identificados en el estudio de tarifas financieras, los cambios de tarifas propuestos incluyen cero cambios hasta
el 30 de junio del 2022, seguido de aumentos de tarifas del 4.5% desde el 1 de julio del 2022 hasta el 30 de junio
del 2023, 5% desde el 1 de julio del 2023 hasta el 30 de junio del 2024, 5% desde el 1 de julio del 2024 hasta el
30 de junio del 2025, y 5.5% desde el 1 de julio del 2025 hasta el 30 de junio del 2026. La estructura tarifaria
consiste en un cargo base y es fijo, y un cargo que varía según el uso de agua (carga volumétrica). Se propone
que se mantenga la estructura tarifaria con cargo fijo y volumétrico. El estudio de tasas financieras proyectó los
gastos de Metro, que actualmente comprenden alrededor del 65% de los gastos del alcantarillado de la Ciudad.
La Ciudad no conoce, ni controla los gastos actuales y futuros. Estos cargos se evaluarán anualmente y los
aumentos o disminuciones de tarifas se transferirán y aplicarán a las tarifas del servicio de alcantarillado. Se
enviará un aviso de futuros cambios 30 días previos a la facturación de conformidad con la Sección 53756 del
Código de Gobierno. El estudio completo de tarifas financieras está disponible en la página de Internet de la
Ciudad en www.chulavistaca.gov/SewerRates.
2022/04/26 City Council Post Agenda Page 548 of 667
¿Cómo se presenta una protesta?
Si un cliente o propietario que está registrado en una parcela que está sujeta a los aumentos propuestos de tarifas
del servicio de alcantarillado desea oponerse a los aumentos, el propietario o cliente registrado debe presentar una
protesta por escrito contra los aumentos propuestos en las tarifas de alcantarillado. Si la mayoría de las parcelas
afectadas presentan protestas por escrito, no se adoptarán los aumentos de tarifas propuestos.
Una protesta por escrito contra los aumentos propuestos en las tarifas del servicio de alcantarillado debe contener
de manera clara la siguiente información: (a) una oposición al cambio propuesto, (b) la dirección o el número de
parcela (APN) afectada(s) por los aumentos propuestos a las tarifas del servicio de alcantarillado, (c) una firma
original y el nombre impreso de manera legible del propietario o cliente del registro afectado, se puede imprimir
un formulario de protesta desde la página de Internet de la Ciudad (www.chulavistaca.gov/SewerRates). Las
protestas por escrito pueden enviarse por correo postal o ser entregadas personalmente durante el horario de
servicio a la Oficina del Secretario de la Ciudad en: 276 Fourth Ave., Chula Vista, CA 91910, depositarse
personalmente después del horario de servicio en el buzón ubicado frente a la entrada principal del Departamento
de Finanzas en el 276 Fourth Ave., Building A, Chula Vista, CA 91910, o ser entregadas a mano durante la
audiencia pública en la Sala de Cabildo de la Ciudad ubicada en las oficinas municipales, 276 Fourth Ave.,
Building A, Chula Vista, CA 91910. Para ser tomadas en cuenta, la Ciudad debe recibir las protestas por escrito
antes del cierre de la audiencia pública que se menciona en este aviso, incluyendo las protestas por escrito que se
envían por correo a la Ciudad. No se tomarán en cuenta las protestas por escrito que tengan un sello de envío
previo a la fecha y hora de la audiencia pública mencionada en este aviso, pero que la Ciudad no haya recibido
físicamente antes del cierre de la audiencia pública mencionada en este aviso. No se aceptarán protestas enviadas
por fax, correo electrónico, o protestas verbales, ya que requieren incluir una firma original.
¿Estarán disponibles eventos de información pública?
Si, los siguientes eventos de información pública estarán disponibles de manera virtual, para conocer más sobre
las tarifas propuestas del servicio de alcantarillado, se presentará información similar en cada una de estas juntas:
Miércoles, 8 de diciembre del 2021, de las 9:00 A.M. a las 9:45 A.M.

Favor de visitar: www.chulavistaca.gov/SewerRates para obtener información sobre el acceso a la junta virtual.
¿Como enviar comentarios?
El Cabildo de la Ciudad agradece su participación en la elaboración de las tarifas y tomará en cuenta todos los
comentarios presentados en la audiencia pública, incluyendo los comentarios sobre las tarifas propuestas, las
fórmulas de elaboración de las tarifas y la base sobre la cual se calculan las tarifas en el estudio de tarifas
financieras preparado por Willdan Financial Services. Se considerarán las preguntas aplicadas (cómo se aplican
las tarifas a usted o a su propiedad), así como los problemas faciales (cómo se aplican las tarifas a todos los
clientes). Los comentarios que se quieran presentar ante el Cabildo de la Ciudad se pueden enviar a través del
portal de comentarios electrónicos en www.chulavistaca.gov/councilmeetings o en persona. Los comentarios
deben recibirse antes de que la alcaldesa cierre el periodo para comentarios. Aunque solo las protestas por escrito
de un propietario o cliente sujeto a los cargos contarán para una protesta mayoritaria, el Cabildo de la Ciudad
agradece todas las aportaciones de la comunidad, incluyendo comentarios orales y electrónicos que se presenten
durante la audiencia pública.
¿A quién debo llamar si tengo preguntas? Las preguntas se pueden presentar por correo electrónico a
wastewater@chulavistaca.gov o por teléfono (619) 476-5380.
¿Estarán disponibles atenciones especiales?

are eligible to receive a reduced rate for monthly
sewer service charges, shall be billed a commodity
rate that is 70% of the prevailing rate. The
Finance Department of the City shall make
available the required application form and
process all applications. Application will require
the submittal of information on total household
income, the number of persons in the household
and the type of dwelling unit. Proof of total annual
income shall be furnished.
Requests for annual refunds shall be made by
eligible households between August 1 and
September 30 of each year for the past fiscal year

1. Rate of Return
Unless otherwise established by an approved
variance, wastewater discharge shall be assumed
to be 90% of water consumed. Therefore, where
commercial or industrial facilities are billed on the
basis of wastewater discharge, the regular sewer
service rate shall be multiplied by 0.90.
2. Wastewater Strength
Wastewater strength categories will be determined
using either Table 2-2 “City of Chula Vista
Compilation of Published Data on Sewer User
Strength classifications” (excerpted from the
Wastewater User & Rate Restructuring by PBS&J
dated May 2003) or actual sampling results, as
determined by the City Engineer. Dischargers who
believe that their total suspended solids
concentration is sufficiently low to qualify for a
different category of sewer service charge billing
may apply to the City Manager in writing for a
variance in accordance with Chula Vista Municipal
Code Section 13.14.130. When there is a change
in the rate payer, the category will be re-evaluated.
TAX BILL
Charges for single-family residential dwellings,
multiple family dwelling and commercial industrial
discharges collected on the Tax bill shall be based
on a recent 12 month water usage period.
HIGH VOLUME DISCHARGERS
Premises that discharge over 25,000 gallons per
day (gpd) are classified as high volume
dischargers. These dischargers shall be billed bi-
monthly by the City of Chula Vista. Wastewater
discharge shall be assumed to be 90 percent of
water consumed, unless established otherwise by
an approved variance.
The Sewer Service Charge is determined on an
individual basis, and is comprised of a Fixed
Service Charge (FSC) and a Variable Commodity
Charge (VCC). The FSC is based on the water
meter size and the VCC is calculated by multiplying
the Sewer Rate by the Volume of Sewer Discharge
2022/04/26 City Council Post Agenda Page 559 of 667
City of Chula Vista www.chulavistaca.gov 619.476.5380
in hundred cubic feet (HCF). The Sewer Rate is
determined by the strength of the discharge
(Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) and Total
Suspended Solids (TSS)).
The Sewer Service Charge is calculated as follows:
FSC + VCC = Sewer Service Charge
FSC = Based on the water meter size
VCC = Sewer Rate ($/HCF) x Volume of Sewer
Discharge (HCF)
The Sewer Rate is subject to change. Said change
is usually necessitated by the increase in the cost
of wastewater treatment and the maintenance of
the City’s sewer collection system. The Sewer
Rate is reviewed on a yearly basis.
SEWER SERVICE VARIANCE FEES
The owner or occupant of any premises requesting
a variance from the sewer service charges
pursuant to the provisions of this section and the
rules and regulations approved by resolution of
the City Council shall pay a fee in the sum of
$150.00 to cover the cost of investigation of said

Single Family Residential Sewer Bill
Fixed Charge
Same charge for all Single-Family
Homes
Volumetric Charge
Single family residential bills are
based on water average or water
use during winter (November 1 –
April 30) and are set for the
subsequent year.
172022/04/26 City Council Post Agenda Page 585 of 667
Winter Average (Single Family Only)
•Winter averaging is a billing method developed to estimate the
amount of water going to the sewer.
•This method takes the lowest 2 months of water consumed in the
winter or rainy season (November 1 through April 30 or 6 months) as
the basis for billing sewer charges throughout the year.
•Winter water usage better represents indoor water use which
typically goes to the sewer whereas summer water use includes
more water used for outdoor usage (e.g. landscaping, swimming
pools, etc.).
•The lowest consecutive 2-months of winter water usage is converted
to a monthly usage and is further reduced by 10% to account for
some water not going to the sewer.

provide a mandatory employee contribution for all classic Local Safety members of the Chula Vista Police
Officers’ Association of 1% of salary effective July 1, 2022, as provided under Government Code §20516, and
B) introduce an ordinance approving an amendment to the contract between the Board of Administration,
California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) and the City of Chula Vista to provide a

SUMMARY
Per the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the City of Chula Vista and the Chula Vista Police
Officer’s Association (POA), effective May 4, 2021, an agreement was reached to provide Normal Cost Sharing
for all Classic (Tier I & II) Local Safety Police members pursuant to Government Code Section 20516(a) to
reach the CalPERS standard of equal sharing of normal costs that will require mandatory employee
contributions of an additional 1% of salary starting July 1, 2022.
In order to amend the City’s current CalPERS retirement contract and to meet the provisions of California
Government Code §20516 (Employees Sharing Additional Cost), CalPERS requires specific procedures to be
followed. The first step in the process is for the City Council to adopt a Resolution of Intention (Attachment
1) and an Ordinance (Attachment 2). The first reading of the Ordinance may occur at the same time as the
2022/04/26 City Council Post Agenda Page 604 of 667
P a g e | 2
adoption of the resolution. The second reading of the Ordinance will occur at the City Council meeting of May
17, 2022. Concurrently, CalPERS also requires that the impacted Classic (Tier I & II) members elect this
change in a secret ballot election. A CalPERS employee election ballot will be distributed to the members for
this purpose and must be certified by the City. Staff is requesting City Council’s approval to adopt the
Resolution of Intention and Ordinance as required by CalPERS.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
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/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
Not applicable.
DISCUSSION
The City of Chula Vista reached agreement with the Chula Vista Police Officers’ Association for successor
Memoranda of Understanding (MOU) for the period May 4, 2021 through June 30, 2024. The MOU includes
a cost sharing provision in which Classic (Tier I and Tier II) Local Safety Police CalPERS Members
represented by POA contribute an additional 1% toward their CalPERS retirement benefits under
Government Code §20516 effective July 1, 2022. Specifically, the Chula Vista Police Officer’s Association
Memorandum of Understanding (Article 2.18(2)) states as follows:
[Normal Cost Sharing] Tier I Employees will also contribute pursuant to Government Code (“GC”) section
20516(a) to reach the CalPERS standard of equal sharing of normal costs as follows: An additional 1%
starting the first full pay period of July 2022 and an additional 1% (additional total 2%) starting the
first full pay period of July 2023 for a total of 11% for the employee share. If a secret ballot election held
in accordance with §20516(a) is not successful, employee contribution of 1% (July 2022) and 2% (July
2023) will be made to the employers’ contribution account pursuant to GC section 20516(f).
[Normal Cost Sharing] Tier II Employees will also contribute pursuant to Government Code section
20516(a) to reach the CalPERS standard of equal sharing of normal costs as follows: An additional 1%
starting the first full pay period of July 2022 and an additional 1% (additional total 2%) starting the
first full pay period of July 2023 for a total of 11% for the employee share. If a secret ballot election held
in accordance with §20516 is not successful, employee contribution of 1% (July 2022) and 2% (July
2023) will be made to the employers’ contribution account pursuant to GC section 20516(f).
While the MOU furthermore states an additional 1% employee contribution to be effective in the first full
pay period of July 2023, CalPERS requires that this additional contribution be brought forth for Council
approval separately in the fiscal year prior to the contribution taking into effect.
An amendment to the CalPERS contract will allow for the employee contribution rates to increase to 10%
(currently 9%) effective July 1, 2022, for Classic Local Safety Police members represented by the POA. This
action will shift 1% of expected costs from the City of Chula Vista to City Classic (Tier I & Tier II) Local
Safety Police employees. In order to amend the City’s current CalPERS retirement contract and to meet the
provisions of California Government Code §20516 (Employees Sharing Additional Cost), CalPERS requires
specific procedures to be followed. The first step in the process is for the City Council to adopt a Resolution
of Intention (Attachment 1) and an Ordinance (Attachment 2). A draft version of the contract amendment
2022/04/26 City Council Post Agenda Page 605 of 667

has also been included as an exhibit to the Resolution of Intention (Attachment 1). The first reading of the
Ordinance may occur at the same time as the adoption of the resolution. The second reading of the
Ordinance will occur at the City Council meeting of May 17, 2022. Concurrently, CalPERS also requires that
the impacted Classic (Tier I & II) Local Safety Police members elect this change in a secret ballot election. A
CalPERS employee election ballot will be distributed to the members for this purpose and must be certified
by the City.
DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and has determined that it is not site-specific
and consequently, the real property holdings of the City Council members do not create 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.
CURRENT-YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
There is no current year fiscal impact for this action.
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
The ongoing fiscal impact for this action, irrespective of the outcome of the membership vote as described in
Article 2.18 of the POA MOU, will result in estimated employee contributions resulting in a decreased cost to
the City in Fiscal Year 2023 at $129,474 and in Fiscal Year 2024 at $268,914. Costs will change as Tier 1 and
Tier 2 employees promote, demote, retire, or change employment status. The costs will be incorporated into
the baseline salary budgets of the respective funds in future fiscal years. The following table reflects the
estimated employee contribution resulting in estimated costs by fund:
