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.

(Second Reading and adoption) (4/5 Vote Required) SUMMARY On May 10, 2022, the City Council was provided the City Manager’s proposed operating and capital improvement budgets for the City, and the operating budgets for the Housing Authority and for the Successor Agency to the Redevelopment Agency for Fiscal Year 2022-23 (ending June 30, 2023). The budgets submitted at this time for formal adoption and appropriation represent the City Council’s Fiscal Year 2022 - 23 Proposed Budget. 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 the proposed activity consists of a governmental fiscal/administrative activity which does not result in a physical change in the environment; therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Thus, no environmental review is required. 2022/06/07 City Council Post Agenda Page 10 of 471 P a g e | 2 BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION On April 14, 2022 the Measure A Citizens’ Oversight Committee (COC) affirmed that the proposed budget for Measure A was in compliance with the City’s approved Intended Public Safety Expenditure Plan. On April 28, 2022 the Citizens’ Oversight Committee (COC) for Measure P affirmed that the proposed budget for Measure P was in compliance with the City’s approved infrastructure, facilities and equipment expenditure plan. On May 5, 2022, as required by the City Charter, the Parks and Recreation Commission reviewed and approved the Fiscal Year 2022-23 proposed budget for the Parks and Recreation Department. DISCUSSION Staff submitted the Fiscal Year 2022-23 Proposed Budget document to the City Council on May 6, 2022. As required by the City Charter, the City Manager’s proposed budget was submitted to the City Council at least thirty-five days before the beginning of the fiscal year. The City Council also set May 24, 2022, as the date for the adoption of the Fiscal Year 2022-23 budget. The budget presented for final adoption in this staff report is the Fiscal Year 2022-23 proposed budget accepted by the City Council on May 10, 2022. In accordance with the City Charter, a copy of the City Council’s proposed budget was made available on May 6, 2022, for public review by making a hard copy of the budget available at the City Clerk’s Office and at the City’s Libraries, as well as posting a copy of the budget on the City’s website. Attachment A, Recommended Expenditures by Department and Category, summarizes the City Council’s proposed budget for Fiscal Year 2022-23. The All Funds expenditure budget submitted for Fiscal Year 2022- 23 totals $533.7 million. The General Fund budget totals $248.9 million. The All Funds budget for Fiscal Year 2022-23 includes allocations for capital improvement projects totaling $50.5 million. The remaining $89.4 million represents the operating budgets for various funds including the Successor Agency to the Redevelopment Agency, Housing, Sewer, Development Services, Fleet, Debt Service, and other funds. Estimated All Funds revenues total $552.5 million, the Schedule of Revenues is included as Attachment B. CITY COUNCIL FISCAL YEAR 2022-23 PROPOSED BUDGET (IN MILLIONS) 2022/06/07 City Council Post Agenda Page 11 of 471 P a g e | 3 Fiscal Policy Update The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) issued Statement No. 31 in 1997, which requires governmental entities to report fair market value of all investments in the balance sheet or other statements of financial position. This is a financial statement requirement, which the City is in compliance. However, this is not a budgetary transaction and should be excluded from the City’s operating budget. Staff is recommending that the following statement be added to the City’s fiscal policies: The City’s operating budget shall exclude unrealized gains or losses resulting from the change in fair value of investments . The City will continue to include these transactions within the financial statements. A copy of the City’s updated Fiscal Policies is included as Exhibit 3. Measure A Fund Reserve Policy In June 2018, the citizens of Chula Vista approved Measure A which enacted the ½ cent sales tax to support public safety staffing. The measure imposed a ½ cent transaction and use tax (sales tax) on retail sales within the City of Chula Vista and became effective October 1, 2018. Concurrent with the approval of placing the measure on the ballot, the City Council adopted an Intended Public Safety Expenditure Plan for the anticipated revenues generated from the measure. By doing so, the City Council expressed its intent to spend the sales tax revenues exclusively on the critical staffing needs of the City’s Police and Fire departments, including necessary equipment and support provided by other City departments. Consistent with best practices the City Manager requested that a reserve policy be established for the Measure A fund. The purpose of the reserve is to avoid impacts to the General Fund due to temporary sales tax revenue shortfalls and to establish the reserves necessary to meet known and unknown future obligations for the City’s Police and Fire Departments. On April 14, 2022, staff presented the proposed reserve policy to the Measure A Citizens Oversight Committee (COC). The proposed reserve policy established an Economic Contingency Reserve of no less than 90 days or 25% of the annual operating budget, to provide for unexpected financial impacts related to a significant economic downturn. The members of the COC were amenable to establishing a reserve policy for the Measure A fund. It was proposed by the COC and staff accepted, to reduce the amount of the proposed reserve from 90 days of operations to 60 days of operation. A reserve amount of 60 days is also consistent with industry best practices. The policy as it was originally drafted contained language that resulted in a lengthy discussion. The view of the COC members was that the original language regarding reserves over and above the minimum requirement was too restrictive. The original language had excess funds above the minimum reserve target “…available for one-time purchases (i.e., capital, consulting, software, etc.) supporting public safety.” The COC members, in trying to address this concern, recommended a revision (Attachment E) that, in hindsight, staff believes limits the use of a reserve in excess of the policy minimum to only the case of an economic slowdown. Staff believes that the revised policy (Attachment D) provides a broader range of options for use of reserves in excess of the policy minimum that public safety departments may recommend for consideration by the COC and ultimately for approval by the City Council. 2022/06/07 City Council Post Agenda Page 12 of 471 P a g e | 4 Staff recommends approval of the Measure A Reserve Policy provided in Attachment D. However, the alternative COC approved version of the Measure A Reserve Policy is also included as Attachment E for reference. Compensation Summary for Unrepresented Employees The current Compensation Summary for all unrepresented employees and elected officials expires on June 30, 2024. Approval of Resolution J would approve the Amended Compensation Summary for Executive Management, Senior Management, Unclassified Middle Management/Professional, Confidential Middle Management/Professional, Unclassified Confidential, Confidential Classified, Mayor, Council, City Attorney and Unclassified Hourly Employees to reflect the addition of Juneteenth (June 19th) as a hard holiday in the applicable sections and the following changes for Executive and Senior Managers:  Fiscal Year 2022/23 – 3% salary adjustment  Fiscal Year 2023/24 – 3% salary adjustment  Vaccination Wellness Incentive or leave equivalent to MM/PR for employees that meet certain requirements Fiscal Year 2022-2023 Compensation Schedule California Code of Regulations (CCR), Title 2, Section 570.5 (CCR Section 570.5) requires that, for purposes of determining a retiring employee's pension allowance, the pay rate be limited to the amount listed on a pay schedule that meets all of the following requirements: 1. Has been duly approved and adopted by the employer’s governing body in accordance with requirements of applicable public meetings laws; 2. Identifies the position title for every employee position; 3. Shows the pay rate for each identified position, which may be stated as a single amount or as multiple amounts within a range; 4. Indicates the time base, including, but not limited to, whether the time base is hourly, daily, bi-weekly, monthly, bi-monthly, or annually; 5. Is posted at the office of the employer or immediately accessible and available for public review from the employer during normal business hours or posted on the employer’s internet website; 6. Indicates an effective date and date of any revisions; 7. Is retained by the employer and available for public inspection for not less than five years; and 8. Does not reference another document in lieu of disclosing the pay rate. This regulation applies to all employers reporting compensation to California Employees' Retirement System (CalPERS). Staff is submitting a Fiscal Year 2022-2023 pay schedule (the "Compensation Schedule") that complies with these requirements to Council for approval. If approved, the duly approved and adopted Compensation Schedule will be immediately accessible and available for public review on the City's internet website in accordance with CCR Section 570.5. Failure to comply with this State-mandated approval requirement would delay computation of a retiring employee's pension allowance by CalPERS. Adoption of the 2022-23 Compensation schedule pertains to Resolution K. 2022/06/07 City Council Post Agenda Page 13 of 471 P a g e | 5 The Compensation Schedule consists of step salary pay for all established positions at the City of Chula Vista, including hourly and bi-weekly time base. This schedule defines the payment to employees for services performed during normal working hours or for time during which the employee is excused from work because of holidays, sick leave, industrial disability, payments under Labor Code Section 4850, vacation, compensatory time-off or leave of absence. It is designed and administered to provide and maintain an equitable wage and salary system at the City that compensates all employees for their work efforts performed within specific job classifications and corresponding salary ranges, in order to attract and retain the most highly skilled employees possible. The Compensation Schedule attached to the attendant Resolution K reflects the pay rate of all job titles effective July 1, 2022. Once approved, any changes to the adopted Compensation Schedule including, but not limited to, across-the-board increases, classification changes and salary adjustments approved subsequent to this date will be reflected in a revised Compensation Schedule which will be submitted to Council for approval. Unclassified Ordinance Chula Vista Municipal Code Section 2.05.010 requires updating to reflect the position changes impacting the unclassified positions. Chula Vista City Charter Section 500(a) requires that all unclassified positions not mentioned specifically in Charter Section 500(a) be adopted by ordinance. Adoption of the Ordinance will add the position title of Chief Information Security Officer and delete the position titles of Real Property Manager and Smart Technology Officer per Municipal Code section 2.05.010. Position Summary The City Council Proposed Budget for fiscal year 2022-23 includes 1,226.75 positions for all funds. This is a net increase of 39.50 positions when compared to the fiscal year 2021-22 adopted budget that included 1,187.25 authorized positions. During fiscal year 2021-22, the City Council approved 43.50 positions and a net reduction of 4.00 positions is reflected in the fiscal year 2022-23 proposed budget. Fiscal year 2022-23 changes in the General Fund resulted in a net decrease of 3.00 FTEs and changes to other funds resulted in a net decrease of 1.00 FTE. The development of the Fiscal Year 2022-23 budget resulted in a net decrease of 4.00 recommended positions.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Project was adequately covered in previously adopted/certified Environmental Impact Report, EIR 89-11 and Supplemental Environmental Impact Report, SEIR 89-11 for the Olympic Training Center Recommended Action Adopt a resolution approving the contract to Blue Pacific Engineering & Construction for the CVEATC Bridge Repair project (CIP GGV0241) and appropriating funds for the construction phase of the project (4/5 Vote Required). SUMMARY On February 9, 2022, the Director of Engineering and Capital Projects received six (6) sealed bids for the “CVEATC Bridge Repair (GGV0241)” project. After review of bids, staff is recommending award of the public works contract to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, Blue Pacific Engineering & Construction. Staff is concurrently recommending an appropriation of $2,484,000 to cover the construction costs as shown below in the Current-Year Fiscal Impact Section. Adoption of the resolution would: 1) accept bids; 2) appropriate $2,484,000.00 from unanticipated revenue and the general fund to the CVEATC Bridge Repair project (CIP GGV0241); and 3) award the public works contract for the construction phase of the project to Blue Pacific Engineering & Construction in the amount of $1,713,727.00. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW 2022/06/07 City Council Post Agenda Page 126 of 471 P a g e | 2 The proposed Project has been reviewed for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and it has been determined that the Project qualifies for a Class 1 Categorical Exemption pursuant to Section 15301 (Existing Facilities) of the State CEQA Guidelines. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it has also been determined that the Pedestrian Bridge Repair in the Chula Vista Elite Athlete Training Center was adequately covered in previously adopted/certified Environmental Impact Report, EIR 89-11 and Supplemental Environmental Impact Report, SEIR 89-11 for the Olympic Training Center. Thus, no further environmental review is necessary. BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION Not applicable. DISCUSSION Per Resolution No. 2018-178, City staff created the Chula Vista Elite Athlete Training Center (CVEATC) Bridge Repair project (CIP GGV0241) for the design and repair of the CVEATC bridge and guard house. City staff filed a claim with City’s insurance provider, Lexington Insurance Company (“Lexington”), to fund and complete CIP GGV0241. City has received a total of $1,083,852.68 on the claim which have been appropriated into the project. A total of $870,895 has been incurred for design and consultant costs leaving a balance of $212,957 in the CIP fund for the project. Ongoing discussions between Lexington and the City are held to reconcile funds required for the project. Lexington recently provided a Sworn Statement in Partial Proof of Loss (Attachment 3) and a partial payment of $1,015,924.40 (Attachment 4) for the construction portion of the project. It is anticipated that Lexington will provide an additional payment of approximately $1,468,075.60 to cover the remaining costs associated with the project. Therefore, staff recommends appropriating $2,484,000 to cover construction, construction management, and various staff costs associated with oversight of the project. Bidding Process On December 17, 2021, Engineering and Capital Projects Staff advertised the project and received six (6) sealed bids on February 9, 2022. The base bid totals from the prime contractors were as follows: Ranking Contractor Base Bid Amount 1 Blue Pacific Engineering & Construction $ 1,713,727.00 2 TC Construction Company, Inc. $ 1,796,818.00 3 Wright Construction Engineering Corp $ 1,846,378.00 4 LB Civil Construction, Inc. $ 1,868,607.50 5 – NR Entenman Development Group Inc. $ 1,914,811.59 6 Wier Construction Corp $ 2,009,530.30 NR = Non-Responsive The low bid by Blue Pacific Engineering Construction (Blue Pacific) of $1,713,727.00, which was approximately 10.4% above the Engineer’s estimate. Blue Pacific is currently an active licensed contractor (License No. 824455) with the following classifications: A – General Engineering, B – General Building, C27 – Landscaping, C-8 – Concrete, and C10 – Electrical. Blue Pacific has had satisfactory performance on work within the region. Entenman Development Group (“Entenman”) submitted a bid price of $1,914,811.59 which is $538,000 higher than the sum of the extended prices grand total of $1,376,811.59. Pursuant to the bid requirements 2022/06/07 City Council Post Agenda Page 127 of 471 P a g e | 3 and conditions, the sum of extended prices grand total of $1,376,811.59 would have prevailed, however, City staff determined the bid to be non-responsive. Staff recommends awarding the public works contract for CIP GGV0241 to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, Blue Pacific, and appropriating $2,484,000 to cover the construction costs as shown below in the Current-Year Fiscal Impact Section. Disclosure Statement Attachment 1 is a copy of the Contractor’s Disclosure Statement. Wage Statement The Contractor that is awarded the contract and its subcontractors are required to pay prevailing wage to persons employed by them for work under this contract. The prevailing wage scales are those determined by the Director of Industrial Relations, State of California. DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the Council members and has found that District 3 Councilman Stephen Padilla 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 the decision would change the parcel’s development potential, income-producing potential, highest and best use, character, and/or market value. Consequently, pursuant to California Code of Regulations Title 2, sections 18700 and 18702.2(a)(8), this item presents 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. 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 Approval of this resolution will result in the appropriation of $2,484,000 to CIP GGV0241 to initiate and cover the construction phase of the project, as well as to cover staff costs associated with oversight of the project. $1,015,924.40 of the $2,484,000 has been received. The balance is expected to be covered by an additional payment(s) of approximately $1,468,075.60 from Lexington Insurance Company. Staff will return to City Council if the additional anticipated payment(s) is/are not received to ensure there is no direct impact to the General Fund. Summary of Construction Costs for GGV0241 are as follows: Funds Required for Construction (GGV0241) A. Contract Amount $ 1,713,727 B. Contract Contingency $ 342,745 C. Construction Engineering Cost (Construction Management Consultant and Inspection Staff) $ 400,000 D.

Department: Engineering Environmental Notice: The activity qualifies for an Exemption pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act State Guidelines Section 15301 (Existing Facilities); Section 15303 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures); Section 15304 (Minor Alterations to Land); Section 15183 (Projects Consistent with a Community Plan or Zoning); and Section 15061(b)(3). Recommended Action Adopt a resolution authorizing the submittal of two Active Transportation Program - Cycle 6 grant applications for the F Street Promenade - Phase 1 and Bayshore Bikeway from E Street to Lagoon Drive projects, and state the City's assurance to complete the projects. SUMMARY In the interest of obtaining grant funding toward roadway improvement projects, City staff has prepared two (2) applications for the statewide Active Transportation Program (ATP) – Cycle 6 grant administered by CalTrans and the California Transportation Commission. The grant applications are for (1) the F Street Promenade – Phase 1 and (2) the Bayshore Bikeway - E Street to Lagoon Drive projects. ATP funds are dedicated to projects that encourage increased use of active modes of transportation. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The proposed activity has been reviewed for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and it has been determined that the activity qualifies for a Categorical Exemption pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act State Guidelines Section 15301 (Existing Facilities); Section 15303 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures); Section 15304 (Minor Alterations to Land); Section 15183 (Projects Consistent with a Community Plan or Zoning); and Section 15061(b)(3) because it creates a balanced, connected, safe, and convenient transportation network designed to serve all users via walking, 2022/06/07 City Council Post Agenda Page 140 of 471 P a g e | 2 biking, public transit, and driving. It can also be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment. Further, there is no possibility that the proposed activity would create cumulative impacts that are significant, and there are no unusual circumstances that would cause any such significant impacts. Thus, no further environmental review is required. BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION Not applicable. DISCUSSION On March 21, 2022, the California Transportation Commission (CTC) announced the Active Transportation Program (ATP) - Cycle 6 Call for Projects. The purpose of the ATP is to increase the roadway usage by all active modes of transportation, giving preference to areas of high pedestrian and bicycle activity, as well as disadvantaged communities. Cycle 6 is expected to include about $650M in ATP funding made up of Federal funding, State SB1 and State Highway Account (SHA) funding. The funding/programming years include the 23/24, 24/25, 25/26, and 26/27 fiscal years. City staff recommends that the City apply for grant funding for the projects described below: Proposed Project 1: F STREET PROMENADE – PHASE 1 Project Location: Overall Project – F Street (Bay Boulevard to Third Avenue) Phase 1 – F Street (Bay Boulevard to Broadway) Project Description: The goal of the F Street Promenade project is to develop a balanced, connected, safe, and convenient transportation network designed to serve all users, regardless of their age or ability, that will also provide multi-modal access (via walking, biking, and transit) to downtown Chula Vista on Third Avenue, the Chula Vista Civic Center, the E Street Trolley Station (one block north of study area), and the Chula Vista Bayfront. The need for the project is identified in the City’s General Plan, the Urban Core Specific Plan and the F Street Promenade Streetscape Study (March 2018): https://www.chulavistaca.gov/departments/development-services/planning/f-street-master-plan Proposed improvements include enhancing pedestrian and bicycle facilities by expanding the existing five- foot wide sidewalk to create a 12’ wide multi-use pathway on both sides of the street. The project will also include landscaped and lighted parkways, bulb-outs, new or improved crosswalks, and the undergrounding of overhead utilities. To provide added space for these improvements, vehicular travel lanes would be reduced to one lane in each direction. On-street parking will remain, but will be relocated to the area of the eliminated travel lane closest to the curbline. Since ATP requires all projects to be completed within four years of being awarded funding, staff recommends applying for grant funding to cover preliminary engineering (PE), right-of-way (R/W), and construction costs (CON) for only Phase 1 of the F Street Promenade project (from Bay Boulevard to Broadway). There is a $5,949,260 local match provided by the Utility Underground Program 20A funds in 2022/06/07 City Council Post Agenda Page 141 of 471 P a g e | 3 addition to $100,000 in CIP STM-394. In August of 2019, between Broadway and the Blue Line Railroad corridor, MTS removed approximately 1,550 LF of railroad along the centerline of F street at a cost of approximately $600,000. Total - Estimated Cost: $23,055,434 (PE, R/W, UUD, CON) Phase 1 - Estimated Cost: $14,408,700 (PE, R/W, UUD, CON) (ATP Contribution: $8,359,440/Local Contribution: $6,049,260) Proposed Project 2: Bayshore Bikeway - E Street to Lagoon Drive Project Location: MTS Railroad Corridor parallel to and west of Bay Boulevard between E Street and Lagoon Drive Project Description: The goal of the Bayshore Bikeway – E Street to Lagoon Drive project is to provide a critical segment of bikeway for the overall Bayshore Bikeway route that continues through Chula Vista along the 24-mile perimeter of the San Diego Bay. This project will install a Class I Separated Bikeway that provides improved safety for cyclists traveling to and from Chula Vista along the Bayshore Bikeway (from National City) and along the Sweetwater Bike Path (from Bonita). This project will also encourage travel to Chula Vista’s Bayfront and Downtown areas. The need for the project is identified in the City’s Bayfront Master Plan, the Bayshore Bikeway Master Plan, and the Chula Vista Active Transportation Plan. https://www.sandag.org/uploads/projectid/projectid_63_5152.pdf https://www.chulavistaca.gov/departments/engineering/active-transportation-plan Proposed improvements include enhancing bicycle facilities by providing at least a 12’ minimum to 15’ wide Class I Separated Bikeway along an existing MTS Railroad Corridor approximately 20’ to the west of, and parallel to, Bay Boulevard. Currently, there are no existing bike lanes on Bay Boulevard at the approaches to the intersections of E Street and at Lagoon Drive. The presence of SDG&E Power Poles and major transmission lines restrict any widening of Bay Boulevard along this corridor. MTS has agreed to the addition of the proposed bikeway along the railroad corridor, similarly, to actions they have approved in Imperial Beach and South San Diego segments. A Construction and Maintenance Agreement between the City and MTS was amended in 2021 to include the proposed improvements still needed within their railroad corridor between E Street and H Street (attached). Since ATP requires all projects to be completed within four years of being awarded funding, staff recommends applying for grant funding to cover preliminary engineering, right-of-way, and construction costs. If this grant application is approved, future Council action will be taken on creating a CIP and appropriating local matching funds which could be in an estimated proportionate share of up to $800,000 local match provided by the BFDIF (2.71%)/WTDIF (21.0%) per the Development Impact Fee Nexus Studies and/or local TransNet funds. Total - Estimated Cost: $3,810,060 (PE, R/W, CON) (ATP Contribution: $3,010,060/Local Contribution: $800,000) DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT 2022/06/07 City Council Post Agenda Page 142 of 471 P a g e | 4 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 direct impact to the General Fund. If a grant is awarded, staff will return to Council with a recommendation to accept and appropriate grant funds. ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT F Street: Upon construction completion, the project will require routine maintenance and landscape maintenance along the F Street parkway areas and roundabout at Bay Blvd. Bayshore Bikeway: Upon construction completion, the bike path will be maintained per the Bayshore Bikeway Cooperative Agreement adopted by Council Resolution 9035, dated October 30, 1978. CIP STM-369 Bike Facilities Gap Project Program is a TransNet funded maintenance project that is currently used for bike facility maintenance citywide, including Bayshore Bikeway. ATTACHMENTS 1.

SUMMARY Multiple donors have made donations to the Community Services Department - Parks & Recreation to fund costs associated with the Parks & Recreation facilities and programs. Today’s action asks the City Council to accept and appropriate these funds. 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. 2022/06/07 City Council Post Agenda Page 170 of 471 P a g e | 2 BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION Not Applicable. DISCUSSION The Friends of Chula Vista Parks & Recreation donated $4,000 towards the Youth Scholarship Program to supplement the costs of programs and activities for Chula Vista residents. Luis Monge donated $250 to support the St. Patrick’s Day Event at Norman Park Senior Center. DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council members and has found that Mayor Mary Casillas Salas has real property holdings within 1,000 feet of the boundaries of the property which is the subject of this action (Norman Park Senior Center). 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 Regulations Title 2, sections 18700 and 18702(b), this item does not present a real property-related 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 Approval of this resolution will result in an appropriation of $4,250 in donations from multiple donors to the Community Services Department’s budget. There is no net fiscal impact to the General Fund. ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT All funds were issued for one time use to supplement costs of programs and activities.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the activity qualifies for an Exemption pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the California Environmental Quality Act State Guidelines. Recommended Action Place an ordinance on first reading amending various sections of Chula Vista Municipal Code Chapters 8.24 and 8.25 to ensure compliance with Senate Bill 1383 regulations. (First Reading) SUMMARY California Senate Bill 1383 (SB 1383) requires cities and counties to expand recycling programs to include the diversion of compostable organic materials from landfill disposal. Organic waste recycling will help the state achieve greenhouse gas reduction targets and will help local cities achieve their own Climate Action Plan goals. Methane from decomposing organic waste in landfills is a significant source of greenhouse gas emissions and these new regulations require municipal agencies to modify solid waste management programs to achieve new organic waste reduction targets. If approved, this ordinance will amend Chula Vista Municipal Code (CVMC) Chapters 8.24 and 8.25 to ensure City’s compliance with SB 1383 regulations which require jurisdictions to implement requirements related to edible food generators, edible food rescue organizations, self-haulers, and the Source-Separation of Organic Waste and Recyclables. 2022/06/07 City Council Post Agenda Page 173 of 471 P a g e | 2 ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The proposed activity has been reviewed for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and it has been determined that the activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the state CEQA Guidelines because it will not result in a physical change in the environment; therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it has also been determined that the activity qualifies for an Exemption pursuant to Sectio n 15061(b)(3) of the California Environmental Quality Act State Guidelines. Thus, no environmental review is required. BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION The Sustainability Commission voted to approve certain revisions to Chapter 8.25 during their April 2022 meeting and recommended City Council approval of the same. DISCUSSION SB 1383 codified the California Air Resources Board's Short-Lived Climate Pollutant Reduction Strategy, as it relates to reduction in the emissions of short-lived climate pollutants such as methane from solid wastes. The regulations were approved by the State’s Office of Administrative Law in November 2020 and prescribe specific actions local jurisdictions must take to reduce short-lived climate pollutants related to solid waste collection and processing. The regulations require municipal agencies to modify solid waste management programs to achieve new organic waste reduction targets. (Attachment 1 SB1383 Regulations). To achieve the reduction of landfilled organic waste, and to increase recovery, the State has mandated the following: 1. Provide organics collection services to all residents, multi-family complexes, and businesses; 2. Establish edible food recovery programs; 3. Conduct education and outreach to the community; 4. Procure recyclable and recovered organics products; and 5. Monitor compliance and conduct state-mandated enforcement. Staff determined that amendments are needed to Chula Vista Municipal Code (CVMC) chapters 8.24 and 8.25 in order to meet the above mandates and ensure consistency across these chapters. Staff recommends amending portions of CVMC Chapters 8.24 and 8.25 to achieve compliance with SB 1383, and to provide for general cleanup of outdated or unnecessary provisions as shown in more detail in Attachments 2 and 3, and briefly summarized below. 8.25.020. Definitions. The proposed amendments add defined terms in connection with the SB 1383 mandates, modify existing defined terms to provide clarity with existing or new code requirements, and delete defined terms that are no longer necessary or useful for purposes of these chapters. 8.25.030. Collection service and fees. In accordance with SB 1383 mandates, the proposed amendments require all commercial, multi-family, and residential accounts to subscribe to garbage, recycle, and organic waste collection services, unless an exception or waiver is granted in accordance with the code. 2022/06/07 City Council Post Agenda Page 174 of 471 v . 0 03 P a g e | 3 8.25.040. Storage and Containers. Proposed amendments provide SB 1383 requirements for safe storage of Solid Waste and containers on site. 8.25.050. Separation of Recyclable and Organic Waste. Proposed amendments provide SB 1383 requirements for separation of garbage, recyclables, and organic waste. 8.25.055. Commercial education and outreach requirements. Proposed amendments provide for education and outreach requirements for Commercial Businesses regarding information related to SB 1383 mandates/regulations. 8.25.060. Commercial edible food generator requirements. Proposed amendments provide that generators are required to recover the maximum amount of edible food that would otherwise be disposed of in the waste stream and provide parameters for edible food recovery programs in accordance with SB 1383. Additionally, these generators will be required to maintain and provide access to records to City. 8.25.065/8.25.070. Food recovery organizations and services requirements/Reports. Proposed amendments provide that these organizations shall maintain and provide access to records to City as required by SB 1383. 8.25.100. Inspections and Investigations. Proposed amendments provide that City representatives are authorized to conduct inspection and investigations to confirm compliance with SB 1383 requirements. Regulated persons and entities are required to provide access and cooperate with City during these processes. 8.25.105. Violations and Penalty. Proposed amendments provide that violations of any provisions of the Chapter shall be unlawful and the City shall enforce violations. Chapter 8.24. The proposed amendments ensure consistency with Chapter 8.25 and provide for general cleanup for outdated or unnecessary provisions. 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 Chula Vista 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 Chula Vista City Council member, of any other fact that may constitute a basis for a decision-maker conflict of interest in this matter.

Operating Standards for In-Vessel Digestion Operations and 17 Facilities 18 Section 17896.44.1. Measuring Organic Waste in Material Sent to Disposal. 19 (a) The operator shall determine the quarterly percentage of organic waste contained in 20 materials sent to landfill disposal. 21 (1) To determine the percentage, the operator shall, measure the amount of organic 22 waste by weight present in the materials sent to landfill disposal. 23 (A) The measurements required pursuant to this section shall be conducted at the 24 following frequency: 25 1. For each reporting period, the operator shall perform the sampling protocol 26 required in Subdivision (a)(2) over at least ten (10) consecutive operating days. 27 2. An operator may use the results of samples conducted over a period of more 28 than 10 days if the following apply: 29 i. If less than 10 additional days are sampled in the reporting period, the 30 additional operating days where sampling is performed shall be a 31 consecutive continuation of the original 10 consecutive days of sampling. 32 ii. If 10 additional operating days or more are selected for sampling, the 33 additional operating days shall be conducted on consecutive days but may 34 be performed during a different part of the reporting period and are not 35 required to be a continuation of the original 10 operating days. 36 (2) The operator shall comply with Subdivision (a)(1) by using the following protocol: 37 (A) Take one sample of at least two hundred (200) pounds of the materials that the 38 operation or facility is sending to landfill disposal on that operating day. Each 39 sample shall be: 40 1.Representative of a typical operating day; and 41 2022/06/07 City Council Post Agenda Page 213 of 471 Department of Resources SLCP Regulations Recycling and Recovery Page 38 of 127 November 2020 2. A random, composite sample taken either from various times during the 1 operating day or from various locations within the pile(s) of material that will be 2 sent to disposal. 3 (B) Record the weight of the sample. If the total weight of material sent to landfill 4 disposal in a single operating day is less than 200 pounds, the operator shall 5 sample all of the material that is sent to landfill disposal that day. 6 (C) Remove any material that is not organic waste and determine the remaining 7 weight of the organic waste in the sample. 8 (D) Then determine the ratio of organic waste present in the materials removed for 9 landfill disposal by dividing the total from Subdivision (a)(2)(C) by the total from 10 Subdivision (a)(2)(B). 11 (E) Determine the total weight of organic waste that is sent for landfill disposal by 12 multiplying the ratio determined pursuant to Subdivision (a)(2)(D) by the total 13 weight of the materials removed for landfill disposal from the source separated 14 organic waste collection stream after processing. 15 (F) Determine the sum of outgoing weights of organic waste present in material 16 that is sent to landfill disposal as determined pursuant to Subdivision (a)(2)(E). 17 (G) Determine the ratio of organic waste present in the material sent to landfill 18 disposal by dividing the total from Subdivision (a)(2)(F) by the total monthly 19 outgoing weights of residuals removed that is sent for landfill disposal. 20 (H) Determine the percentage of organic waste present in the material sent to 21 landfill disposal by multiplying the monthly ratio as determined pursuant to 22 Subdivision (a)(2)(G) by 100. 23 (b) The operator shall conduct a measurement in the presence of the EA when 24 requested. 25 (c) If it is determined by the EA that the measurements do not accurately reflect the 26 records, the EA may require the operator to increase the frequency of measurements, 27 revise the measurement protocol, or both to the improve accuracy. 28 (d) An alternative measurement protocol for determining the amount of organic waste 29 contained in the residual may be approved by the EA, with concurrence by the 30 Department. For the purposes of this section, alternative measurement protocols may 31 include, but are not limited to, measurements made with a different sampling frequency 32 and/or weight than those specified in this article. The Department shall concur with EA 33 approval if it finds that the alternative measurement protocol will ensure that the 34 measurements will be as accurate as those described in Subsection (a)(1) and (2), 35 above. 36 (e) Organic waste that are textiles, carpet, hazardous wood waste, non-compostable 37 paper and material subject to a quarantine on movement issued by a county agricultural 38 commissioner is not required to be measured as organic waste. 39 (f) Organic waste sent to an activity listed in Section 18983.1(a) shall constitute landfill 40 disposal. 41 Note: 42 Authority cited: Sections 40502, 43020 and 43021, Public Resources Code. 43 Reference: Sections 40053, 42652.5, 43020 and 43021, Public Resources Code and 44 Section 39730.6, Health and Safety Code. 45 2022/06/07 City Council Post Agenda Page 214 of 471 Department of Resources SLCP Regulations Recycling and Recovery Page 39 of 127 November 2020 Article 4.

The owner of the property shall be mailed notice of the time and place of the hearing at least 10 days in advance of the hearing.

The amount shall be charged to the property owner on the next regular tax bill and shall be a lien upon the property involved.

For conversion of volumetric measurements to weight, the applicant shall use the standardized rates established by the Conversion Rates table approved by the City for this purpose. Conversion Rate tables will be included with the Waste Management Report form. 6. Determination of Compliance and Release of Performance Deposit. The WMR Compliance Official shall review the information submitted under this Section and determine whether the applicant has complied with the Diversion Requirement, as follows: a. Compliance. If the WMR Compliance Official determines that the applicant has fully complied with the Diversion Requirement applicable to the Project, they shall cause the release of the Performance Deposit to the applicant within 60 days of the applicant’s submission of the documentation required under this Section. If the applicant has complied in part, a portion of the Performance Deposit will be withheld. The amount withheld will be proportional to the percentage of materials that are not recycled/Diverted. b. Noncompliance. If the WMR Compliance Official determines that the applicant failed to submit the documentation within the required time period, then the performance deposit shall be forfeited to the City. All forfeited or unrecovered funds shall be used for waste reduction and recycling activities. C. Exemption. 2022/06/07 City Council Post Agenda Page 403 of 471 Ordinance Page 41 1. Application.

The WMR Compliance Official shall return a copy of the WMR to the applicant marked “Approved with Exemption.” The applicant shall then be responsible for Diverting the revised rate noted by the WMR Compliance Official on the approved WMR, in compliance with the provisions of this Section. 4. Denial of Exemption. If the WMR Compliance Official determines that it is possible for the applicant to meet the Diversion Requirement, the WMR Compliance Official shall so inform the applicant in writing.

Googins Deputy City Manager City Attorney 2022/06/07 City Council Post Agenda Page 408 of 471 v . 0 03 P a g e | 1 June 7, 2022 ITEM TITLE Coastal Development Permit Waiver: Receive a Report on the Issuance of a Coastal Development Permit De Minimis Waiver for Demolition of 215 Bay Boulevard Report Number: 22-0175 Location: 215 Bay Boulevard Department: Development Services Environmental Notice: The Project qualifies for a Categorical Exemption pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act State Guidelines Section 15301 Class 1 (Existing Facilities) and a Common Sense Exemption Section 15061(b)(3). Recommended Action Receive a report and accept the Development Services Director’s determination regarding the issuance of a Coastal Development Permit De Minimis waiver for the demolition of the existing structure at 215 Bay Boulevard. SUMMARY On May 20, 2022 the Development Services Department received an application for a permit to demolish an approx. 9,430 square foot building located at 215 Bay Boulevard (the “Project”). This site is located within the California coastal zone, and as such, is required to obtain a coastal development permit (“CDP”) from the City prior to undertaking development. The required CDP application was filed on May 13, 2022 and a de minimis waiver of the CDP for the demolition is proposed. This item presents the report of the Development Services Director required to issue such a waiver, pursuant to Chula Vista Municipal Code (“CVMC”) Section 19.83.005 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) and a Common Sense Exemption Section 15061(b)(3) because the Project involves no potential for any impact on coastal resources and public access, and would not result in a significant effect on the environment, create a cumulative impact, damage a scenic highway, or cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource. Thus, no further environmental review is required. 2022/06/07 City Council Post Agenda Page 409 of 471 P a g e | 2 BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION Not applicable. DISCUSSION On May 20, 2022, the Development Services Department received an application for a permit to demolish an approximately 9,430 square foot building located at 215 Bay Boulevard. This site is located within the California coastal zone, and as such, is required to obtain a CDP prior to undertaking development. The required CDP application was filed on May 20, 2022 (CDP22-0001) and subsequently, a de minimis waiver of the CDP requirements was initiated. CVMC Section 19.83.005 provides that “The Director of Development Services may issue a written waiver from the coastal development permit requirements of this chapter for any development that is de minimis. A proposed development is de minimis if the Director of Development Services determines, based on a review of an application for a coastal development permit, that the development involves no potential for any adverse effect, either individually or cumulatively, on coastal resources and that it will be consistent with all applicable objectives, policies, and standards of the certified [local coastal program]. The determination shall be made in writing and based upon factual evidence.” The last business at 215 Bay Boulevard ceased operations in 2015 and the building has been vacant since that time. In the interim, the property has changed hands and is now owned by Stone 215 Bay Boulevard, LLC, an affiliate of Stone Group which also owns 225, 271, and 285 Bay Boulevard. Stone Group intends to pursue redevelopment of the Project site in the future. However, due to years of vandalism and a recent increase in the number of unsheltered seeking refuge in the building, the property has become a nuisance and safety risk. Deferring demolition of the building until a future development plan can be presented is impractical and not in the best interest of the community. The proposed de minimis waiver does not require approval of the City Council; however, it does require the presentation of this report to the City Council. Should one-third of the City Council (two members) so request, the issuance of the waiver would not be effective. Instead, the application for a CDP would need to be processed per the standard procedures in CVMC Chapter 19.83 (Bayfront Specific Plan – Coastal Development Permit Procedures). Determination of the Director of Development Services The Project is determined have met the requirements of CVMC Sections 19.83.005(A) through (C) and all notices required per CVMC Sections 19.83.005(D) and (E) have been timely made. Based on a review of the application for CDP22-0001, the Project involves no potential for any adverse effect, either individually or cumulatively, on coastal resources. The current Project contemplated is limited to the demolition of a nuisance structure, and as such, is consistent with all applicable objectives, policies, and standards of the certified local coastal program. Should the site be developed in the future, such development would be subject to the City’s regular permitting processes, including a coastal development permit. 2022/06/07 City Council Post Agenda Page 410 of 471 P a g e | 3 Facts Considered in Determination The following facts were considered in making the subject determination: 1. The Project site is located in the non-appealable area of the Chula Vista coastal zone and no public hearing is required. 2. The Project would not typically require any City Council action (demolition permits are ministerial in nature). 3. The Project involves no potential for any impact on coastal resources and public access. 4. There is no known opposition or probable public controversy related to approving the Project. 5. The Project does not involve the division of land. 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 or Development Services Fund as a result of this action. All costs associated with the processing of this waiver and the associated demolition permit are borne by the applicant. ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT There is no ongoing fiscal impact to the General Fund or the Development Services Fund as a result of this action. ATTACHMENTS None. Staff Contact: Tiffany Allen, Deputy City Manager/Director of Development Services 2022/06/07 City Council Post Agenda Page 411 of 471 v . 0 03 P a g e | 1 June 7, 2022 ITEM TITLE Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Action Plan Amendment: Amend the HUD 2021/2022 Annual Action Plan, the Sub-Recipient Agreement with SBCS for Emergency Shelter Operations and Approve an Agreement with Clean the World for Mobile Shower Services Report Number: 22-0181 Location: No 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 Adopt a resolution amending the HUD Annual Action Plan to reallocate $1,418,000 in ESG-CV funds for staff outreach services, homeless emergency shelter operations, and mobile shower services and authorize the City Manager to execute agreements with SBCS Corporation and Clean the World Foundation, Inc. and make further revisions as needed. SUMMARY The City of Chula Vista’s Annual Action Plan (“Action Plan”) describes the funding strategy for use of the City’s U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) three entitlement block grant programs: Community Development Block Grant (“CDBG”); Home Investment Partnerships Act (“HOME”); and Emergency Solutions Grant (“ESG”). The Action Plan is a tool to assist in implementing the City’s five-year Consolidated Plan, and each Action Plan is developed through public input, analyses and planning. Any significant funding changes in the approved Action Plan constitutes a substantial amendment and must be approved by the City Council prior to submittal to HUD. This process must be in accordance with the City’s Citizen Participation Plan which ensures that the City takes the necessary steps to encourage public participation. This item includes an amendment to the 2021/2022 Annual Action Plan to increase funding through the ESG- CV program to assist homeless families and individuals in response to the growing need for services through 2022/06/07 City Council Post Agenda Page 412 of 471 P a g e | 2 the following programs: 1) outreach services provided by the Homeless Outreach Team; 2) emergency shelter operations by SBCS, Corporation; and 3) an agreement with Clean the World Foundation, Inc. for the Fresh Start Wash & Wellness Program to provide mobile showers in the community. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The Director of Development Services reviewed the proposed legislative action for compliance with CEQA and determined that the action 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 action is not subject to CEQA. In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Director of Development Services has also determined that the action qualifies for an Exemption pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment. Therefore, no further environmental review is required. BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION Not applicable. DISCUSSION The HUD CDBG, HOME, and ESG programs were created to assist cities in creating viable urban communities by providing decent housing, a suitable living environment and expansion of economic opportunities, principally, for low/moderate-income persons, defined as persons earning 80 percent or less of the Area Median Income (“AMI”). As of April 18, 2022, 80 percent of AMI for a family of four is $106,900 per year. Specifically, the ESG program was designed to engage homeless individuals and families living on the street through outreach, rapidly re-house, help operate and provide essential services in emergency shelters, and prevent individuals from becoming homeless. As a recipient of these HUD funds, the City is required to develop and submit four planning documents (collectively, the HUD Plans) to HUD for approval. 1. Citizen Participation Plan (“CPP”) 2. Five-Year Consolidated Plan (“Con Plan”) 3. Annual Action Plan (“Action Plan”) and 4. Consolidated Annual Performance Evaluation Report (“CAPER”) On June 15, 2021, the City Council approved the CPP, Con Plan and Action Plan. Per HUD regulations, any change in the previously established funding strategies and/or an increase in funding of 10% or more to an activity constitutes a substantial amendment and necessitates amendments to the associated planning documents. Any time a substantial change is made, public participation is essential. The process requires a public notice and a comment period prior to submission to HUD. A public notice was published on June 3, 2022, initiating the public comment period which runs through June 8, 2022. Under the 2021/22 Annual Action Plan, the City allocated ESG-CV funding for outreach and shelter operation activities. Due to a critical growing need for outreach and shelter services and the amount of available ESG- CV funding, staff is recommending increasing the amount allocated to both activities respectively. Furthermore, ESG-CV funding regulations require that the funds must be expended within a certain time frame ensuring that the funds are effectively used for the intended purpose of responding to COVID-related issues such as homelessness. In anticipation of this spending requirement, this item also seeks to provide the 2022/06/07 City Council Post Agenda Page 413 of 471 P a g e | 3 City Manager authorization to execute and make any necessary amendments to the new and existing ESG subrecipient agreements. This will provide the necessary flexibility to adjust project funding as necessary to ensure timely expenditures. This item includes the consideration of an amendment to the 2021/2022 Annual Action Plan to reallocate available ESG funds to the following projects:  Homeless Outreach Services - $325,000: Funding will be used to cover costs associated with staff outreach response to an increase in the number of unsheltered in the city.  SBCS Emergency Homeless Shelter Operations - $780,000: Funding will be used to increase the existing contract with SBCS to cover the substantial increase in emergency shelter operational costs for victims of domestic violence and homeless youth. An amendment to the existing SBCS, Corporation contract is necessary and provided as Attachment No. 1.  Fresh Start Wash & Wellness Program (“FSWW”) - $313,000: Funding will initiate a new program within the City to provide a mobile shower unit. The service, provided by Clean the World Foundation, Inc. will provide service up to six (6)-hours, two (2) times per week from a Fresh Start Mobile Shower Unit (the “Unit”) with a minimum of two (2) stalls. Due to current fabrication schedules, the unit may provide 3 or 4 stalls, however the contract amount shall not change. The Unit contains an onboard generator to meet all electrical needs, including a tankless water heater and air conditioning units. The City will have full discretion over the location of services and will work with the contractor to establish best practices for water disposal and client management, inclusive of wrap around services on all service days. Additional information regarding the FSWW is provided in Attachment No. 2 and the service agreement as Attachment No. 3. DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and has determined that it is not site-specific and consequently, the 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 to the City's General Fund. All costs associated with the projects, programs and administration of the ESG program are covered by the respective grant. Recommended funding reallocations in the ESG Program are summarized below: Grant From To Project/Program Amount ESG 272534-7141- BGS1148 272534-7141- BGS1196 Homeless Outreach Services $325,000 SBCS Emergency Homeless Shelter Operations $780,000 Fresh Start Wash & Wellness Program $313,000 TOTAL REALLOCATION $1,418,000 2022/06/07 City Council Post Agenda Page 414 of 471 P a g e | 4 ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT There is no ongoing fiscal impact to the City's General Fund.

SERVICES 1.1 Required Services. Contractor/Service Provider 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.

City may independently, or upon request from Contractor/Service Provider, from time to time, reduce the Required Services to be performed by the Contractor/Service Provider under this Agreement. Upon doing so, City and Contractor/Service Provider agree to meet and confer in good faith for the purpose of negotiating a corresponding reduction in the compensation associated with the reduction. 1.3 Additional Services. Subject to compliance with the City’s Charter, codes, policies, procedures and ordinances governing procurement and purchasing authority, City may request Contractor/Service Provider provide additional services related to the Required Services (“Additional Services”).

In the event that Exhibit A Section 4 indicates the need for Contractor/Service Provider to provide additional security for performance of its duties under this Agreement, Contractor/Service Provider shall provide such additional security prior to commencement of its Required Services in the form and on the terms prescribed on Exhibit A, or as otherwise prescribed by the City Attorney. 1.7 Compliance with Laws.

Standard terms for billing and payment are set forth in this Section 2. 2.2 Detailed Invoicing.

Contractor/Service Provider understands and agrees that payment to the Contractor/Service Provider or reimbursement for any Contractor/Service Provider costs related to the performance of Required Services does not constitute a City final decision regarding whether such payment or cost reimbursement is allowable and eligible for payment under this Agreement, nor does it constitute a waiver of any violation by Contractor/Service Provider of the terms of this Agreement. If City determines that Contractor/Service Provider is not entitled to receive any amount of compensation already paid, City will notify Contractor/Service Provider in writing and Contractor/Service Provider shall promptly return such amount. 3. INSURANCE 3.1 Required Insurance.

SUMMARY SANDAG, acting as the Regional Transportation Commission, approves on a biennial basis a multi -year program of projects submitted by local jurisdictions identifying those transportation projects eligible to use transportation sales tax (TransNet) funds. All of the projects that the City of Chula Vista proposes to fund with TransNet funds must be included in the Regional Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP), as well as projects that are funded with Federal or State transportation funds. Staff recommends adopting the TransNet Local Street Improvement Program of Projects for Fiscal Years 2022/23 through 2026/27 for inclusion in the RTIP. 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 the activity consists of governmental Regional Transportation Improvement Program/ TransNet funds activity, which does not involve any commitment to 2022/06/07 City Council Post Agenda Page 444 of 471 P a g e | 2 any specific project that may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment. Therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Thus, no environmental review is required. Although environmental review is not required at this time, once the scope of potential individual projects has been defined, environmental review will be required for each project and the appropriate environmental determination will be made. BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION Not applicable. DISCUSSION The voters of San Diego County approved the TransNet Program as Proposition A in November 1987. This proposition enacted a half-cent increase in the countywide sales tax through 2008 to fund specified transportation programs and projects. One third of the revenues generated by the tax were allocated by SANDAG to the local agencies for local street and road purposes. In November 2004, 67 percent of County voters supported Proposition A, which extends TransNet from 2008 to 2048. The TransNet Extension Ordinance states that at least 70 percent of the funds allocated to local agencies for local road projects should be used to fund Congestion Relief (CR) projects. CR projects include the construction of new or expanded facilities, rehabilitation and reconstruction of roadways, traffic signalization, transportation infrastructure to support smart growth, capital improvements for transit facilities, and operating support for local shuttle and circulator transit routes. No more than 30 percent of TransNet funds allocated to local agencies for local road projects are expected to be used for local street and road maintenance. On April 22, 2022, SANDAG provided the member agencies with an updated TransNet Revenue Forecast - Local Street Improvement Program for Fiscal Years 2022/23 through 2026/27 (Attachment 1), which are conservative estimates for planning purposes. The Fiscal Year 2022-23 projected revenue is currently estimated to be $8,786,000 with an approximate $300,000 increase in revenue for each following year. A summary of the 5-Year TransNet Allocation and the City projects currently programmed for TransNet funding are shown on Attachment 2. There are three (3) new TransNet funded projects proposed for addition in the 2023 RTIP Program of Projects. Appropriations of funds are not requested at this time – appropriation of the funds for these projects will be part of the approval process for the Fiscal Year 2022/23 Capital Improvement Program (CIP). Amounts shown for future fiscal years are estimated and will be revised in the future as revenues and specific locations are identified. The following are the major projects that will be included for TransNet funding in Fiscal Year 2022/23. Congestion Relief Projects CHV39: Traffic Signal System Optimization (TRF0350, TRF0433) Provision of consultant services and/or equipment such as traffic signal timing coordination projects and adaptive traffic control systems, to optimize the performance of existing traffic signal systems for improved traffic circulation, reduced intersection delays, and reduced congestion throughout the city.

CHV33: School Zone Traffic Calming (TRF0345) Field investigation and installation/construction of traffic calming devices in public school zones, such as traffic control devices (flashing beacons), signs, striping and minor street improvements. CHV34: Neighborhood Traffic and Pedestrian Safety Program (TRF0327, TRF0422, TRF0429) Provide community outreach and education regarding traffic/safety hazards, preparation of plans and construction of traffic calming, pedestrian safety measures and ADA improvements.

CHV90: North Second Avenue Shoulder Improvements (TRF0427) Project upgrades existing guardrail on the easterly frontage of North Second Avenue. Includes roadway safety improvements at this location. 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 These actions will have no direct impact to the General Fund. There will be no current fiscal year impact since this Council action pertains to revenue estimates for Fiscal Years 2022/23 through 2026/27.

Thus, no further environmental review is required. Recommended Action Adopt a resolution approving the naming of the City building located at 50 North Fourth Avenue to be used as the City’s new intergenerational art gallery, as “Casa Casillas,” in honor of Chula Vista resident and artist, Paula Casillas (Majority Vote Required). SUMMARY Chula Vista has a diverse array of artistic talent and creative assets. Through the revitalization of 50 North Fourth Avenue into an intergenerational arts space, to be named Casa Casillas, after painter and 80-year Chula Vista resident, Paula Casillas. Casa Casillas will support and leverage Chula Vista’s existing assets and develop a more robust creative industry through its program offerings and exhibitions. The development of the arts begins at the creation of spaces that nurture artistic abilities and skills and strengthen cultural arts in Chula Vista while connecting the community of all ages which provides the opportunity to sustain arts within our community for future generations. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The proposed Project has been reviewed for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and it has been determined that the Project qualifies for a Categorical Exemption pursuant to State 2022/06/07 City Council Post Agenda Page 453 of 471 P a g e | 2 CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 Class 1 (Existing Facilities) and Section 15061(b)(3), because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment. Thus, no further environmental review is required. BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION Not applicable. DISCUSSION There is a growing realization of how important lively and appealing gathering places are to every aspect of our lives. Creating public spaces where all segments of a community can meet, interact, celebrate, and enjoy, can activate areas that otherwise would sit empty or avoided. The revitalization of 50 North Fourth Avenue, Casa Casillas, provides the community a space dedicated to arts, for exhibition, incubation, and development of artistic capabilities. Exposure to the arts has positive implications for the health and well-being for the Chula Vista community. Supporting programs and activities that provide community members with creative expression and social engagement have proven to be beneficial to both the individual and the community at large. A community that provides for cultural art opportunities for all ages of all abilities provides a better quality of life for everyone. Through Casa Casillas, the Chula Vista Public Library plans on providing arts classes, art exhibitions, and providing opportunities for artists in residence. Chula Vista resident and artist, Paula Casillas, is a prime example of how a city can nurture the arts and develop artists from within its community. The Casillas family has deep roots in the City of Chula Vista. Paula Casillas, born Paula Silva, was born on the Pala Indian Reservation in 1923. Paula has lived in Chula Vista since 1942. She graduated from Sweetwater High School, purchased a home on Zenith Street, married and raised her family in Chula Vista. The Casillas family also has a long history of service to the community and the country for generations that continue to this day. Paula supported the war efforts during World War II while working at Rohr Aircraft as a spot welder. It was not until later in life, when Paula’s artist talent was recognized as she delved into art as therapy from the loss of her husband, Nick Casillas. Paula’s art showcased her expression of emotion and shared her view of the world, a talent was discovered through an art class offered by the Recreation Department. Upon completion of the renovations at Casa Casillas, the opening exhibit of the arts space will feature the works completed by Paula Casillas over the years. While Paula Casillas no longer paints, this exhibit will be the first to showcase her talent and will honor the life and legacy of the Casillas family in Chula Vista. 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.). 2022/06/07 City Council Post Agenda Page 454 of 471 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.
