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.

ITEM TITLE
Purchase Agreement: Approve a Purchase Agreement with South Coast Fire Equipment for Two Pierce Fire
Engine Pumper Apparatuses Through Measure P
Report Number: 22-0265
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 a purchase agreement with South Coast Fire Equipment for two Pierce Fire
Engine Pumper Apparatuses in the amount of $2,203,851, 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 two (2) Pierce Arrow XT Pierce’s Ultimate
Configuration (PUC) Pumper through its sole source agreement with South Coast Fire Equipment to replace
existing fire engines 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.
2022/10/04 City Council Post Agenda Page 40 of 78
P a g e | 2
BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The purchase of the two (2) Pierce Engine Pumper Apparatus were recommended for approval in the
Measure P Expenditure Plan by the Measure P Citizens’ Oversight Committee (COC) per the estimated
budgeted cost at that time. Since the COC last considered the plan, the actual cost of purchase has increased
due to market conditions. Measure P actual revenues have also increased since that time and are sufficient
to cover this increase without impacting the Expenditure Plan. This change has been communicated to the
COC.
DISCUSSION
The Fire Department responds to Fire, Rescue and Emergency Medical incidents both within the City and
surrounding jurisdictions. 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 two (2)
fire engines is necessary. The replacement of these two fire engines 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 engines being replaced were
placed into service in 2016, which puts their current years of service at approximately 6 years. There is
currently a 28-month manufacturing lead time before the apparatus is received to begin outfitting to be
placed into service. This lead time would put their years of service at 8 and a half years of service. These
engines would move to our reserve fleet once the new engines are ordered and placed into service. By placing
these engines into our reserve fleet, these would replace reserve engines who are currently at 18 years of
service, which exceed NFPA standards of 17 years of service.
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:
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.

P a g e | 3
The Fire Department has received a quote from South Coast for the purchase of two (2) Pierce Arrow XT
Pierce’s Ultimate Configuration (PUC) Pumpers for the quoted purchase price total of $2,098,905.94. The
Fire Department is recommending a 5% overage to account for any change order needs in the manufacturing
process, bringing the total to $2,203,851.24 to be purchased using the Fire Department Vehicle/Apparatus
allocations of 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 two (2) Pierce Arrow XT Pierce’s
Ultimate Configuration (PUC) Pumpers will be funded from the Measure P fund. The order will be placed
with South Coast Fire Equipment upon Council approval. Lead time on delivery of apparatus is approximately
28 months. Payment for apparatus is upon delivery, so subsequently no payments will be made until FY24.
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 are already built into the Department’s ongoing operational budget.

Records and Information Management (RIM): Amend the Citywide Records Management Program and
Declare a Trusted System for the Management of City Records and the Automation of Retention
Requirements
Report Number: 22-0267
Location: No specific geographic location
Department: City Clerk
Environmental Notice: This 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 resolutions A) Repealing Resolution No. 17577 and amending Council Policy 112-01, City-Wide
Records Management Program, to update the City’s Records and Information Management Program and B)
Declaring Laserfiche a Trusted System for the management of City records and the automation of retention
requirements.
SUMMARY
Adoption of the proposed resolutions will 1) update the City’s records management program to establish
policies and procedures for efficient control over records citywide, including incorporation of industry best
practices for records management and accounting for new technology; and 2) declare a “trusted system,”
allowing City records to be stored electronically instead of in hardcopy in specified circumstances.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Development Services Director 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
Approving a Records and Information Management (RIM) Program
The City Council adopted the City-Wide Records Management program in 1994. Since that time, technology
and industry best practices have changed significantly, requiring that the program be brought up to date.
The purpose of a records management program is to establish policies and procedures to control the orderly
creation, utilization, maintenance, retention, preservation, and disposition of City Records, consistent with
State law, including the California Public Records Act (Gov Code 6250 et seq.) and with City business
practices.
The revised program, provided in full as Attachment 1, includes the following:
- Renaming the program the “Records and Information Management” program
- Regulations pertaining to the storage of records
- Updated policies regarding electronic communication
- Provisions to, even when retained electronically, prevent the destruction of the original paper
version of some of the City’s most vital and historical records, such as City Council resolutions,
meeting minutes, and ordinances
Staff recommends revising Council Policy 112-01 by adopting Resolution A, to bring the City’s records
management program up to date.
Designating a Trusted System
The California Public Records Act defines records as “any writing containing information relating to the
conduct of the public's business prepared, owned, used, or retained by any state or local agency regardless
of physical form or characteristics.” While many records today are received in electronic format, the City has
many records in paper format.
State laws and regulations have been enacted to allow government agencies to convert paper records to
electronic formats. Storing records electronically is a cost-saving measure, reducing the need for onsite and
offsite storage and management of voluminous paper records, and also allows the City to provide easier and
quicker access to records.
In order to retain records electronically and dispose of the paper version, the legislative body of an agency
must declare a “trusted system.” Under California law (Government Code section 12168.7), “a ‘trusted
system’ means a combination of technologies, policies, and procedures for which there is no plausible
scenario in which a public record retrieved from or reproduced by the system could differ substantially from
the public record that is originally stored.”
Additionally, the Secretary of State has adopted Trustworthy Electronic Document or Record Preservation
regulations (Chapter 15, Division 7, Title 2 of the California Code of Regulations), which govern the recording,
2022/10/04 City Council Post Agenda Page 46 of 78
P a g e | 3
storing, and reproducing of records in electronic media where the intent is to destroy the original hardcopy
and maintain the electronic copy as the official Record.
The City Clerk’s Office has worked with City departments and the City’s records consulta nt to ensure the
City's enterprise content management system, Laserfiche, and the records stored within the system, are kept
in accordance with the State's Trusted System requirements and the Trustworthy Electronic Document
and/or Record Preservation regulations.
On March 18, 2018, the City Council adopted Resolution 2018-043, creating a Records Retention Schedule
which established requirements for retaining City Records and for disposing of Records when they are no
longer needed for administrative, fiscal, historical, or legal purposes.
The City uses Laserfiche to electronically store Records for departments in PDF and/or TIFF format.
Laserfiche has audit capabilities to track records as they are added, deleted, and viewed in the system. Folder-
level permissions and restrictions for security have been established in Laserfiche to ensure only appropriate
personnel have access to records.
Records Management Procedures, included as Attachments 2 and 3, have been developed for the
implementation of the Retention Schedule and to provide for the routine searching, scanning, uploading,
saving, importing, and disposing of Records in Laserfiche during the normal course of business.
Collectively, the City's comprehensive Retention Schedule, the Records Management Procedures, and the
Laserfiche technology constitute a Trusted System in accordance with state law.
Staff recommends adopting Resolution B to declare Laserfiche a “trusted system” for the management of City
records and the automation of retention requirements, allowing staff to convert paper records for storage
electronically.
The process of converting existing paper records to an electronic format will be an ongoing process,
conducted as resources are available for scanning.
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.
2022/10/04 City Council Post Agenda Page 47 of 78
P a g e | 4
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
Currently the City spends $45,000 annually for off-site records storage. As funding becomes available and
documents are scanned and stored electronically to the trusted system, the cost the City bears for off-site
storage fees would continue to decrease. Funding requests for document scanning will be made through the
established budget processes.

storage of the City’s Records, information, and electronic communication
POLICY

5. Storage
5.1. Hardcopy Records and information no longer considered active may be
transferred to designated storage facilities to fulfill retention requirements. Electronic
Records and information no longer considered active may be transferred to approved
repositories or moved offline to fulfill retention requirements, but information in any
location must be accessible by City employees for business needs and in response to
requests by the public.
Records and information that are owned by the City should not be transferred to or
stored in any unauthorized locations or on personal devices. Work done on a personal
device on behalf of the City is the property of the City.1 2
6. Availability
6.1. Records and information must be available for future business, litigation, and
investigations as necessary, regardless of storage location.
Records that are determined to be “public” are to be made available for the public to
obtain in accordance with the California Public Records Act, Government Code §6250-
6276.48.
7. Electronic Communication
7.1. Unless otherwise required by contract or law, including data privacy laws,

1 City of San Jose v. Superior Court (2017): “When a city employee uses a personal account to communicate about the conduct of
City business, the writings may be subject to disclosure under the California Public Records Act.” Records on personal accounts
and devices may include, but are not limited to, communications via: text message, personal email accounts, and social media

establish contact, identify a location, or confirm appointments. Text messages should not
be used to create and communicate directives, conduct City business, or send files.2
Social media is used exclusively for the distribution of City information. Original
documents are not to be created within social media, but attached and original
communication posted to social media is to be limited to City announcements.
Records and/or information that are received or sent as part of an Electronic
Communication, including the communication itself are subject to the City’s Electronic
Communications Policy No. 909.
Electronic Communication systems are intended to be a medium of communication and
not repositories for City Records. Although Electronic Communication may seem to be
less formal than other written communication, the same definition of Records applies, as
do the rules for storage and retention. Electronic Communication that meets the
definition of a record is to be stored in an official City repository.
8. Records of Exiting Elected Officials, Council-Appointed Boards, Commissions, and
Committees, Employees, Volunteers, and Contractors
8.1. When an elected or appointed official’s term ends, the elected or appointed
official is to work with the City Clerk to transfer Records and information to the City
Clerk’s Office to comply with the requirements of this Policy and any supporting
procedures for retaining and managing the Records and information of the exiting
official.
When an employee, volunteer, or contractor leaves the City, the exiting individual’s
supervisor or manager or the contractor’s City point of contact is responsible for
complying with the requirements of this Policy and any supporting procedures for
retaining and managing the Records and information of the exiting employee, volunteer,
or contractor.
9. Suspending Retention Requirements
9.1. Disaster recovery backup media are exact copies of an operating system,
associated application and data created for the sole purpose of protecting and recovering
data in the event of a disaster or business disruption and are not subject to the
requirements of the Retention Schedule. Backups serve as a level of protection for
electronic systems and the data that is stored on those systems to ensure an exact
duplicate or copy is available and unalterable for use in the event of a business
disruption.

Records. Preservation activities are designed to minimize the physical and chemical
deterioration of Records and to prevent the loss of informational content.3
10.2. Records and information designated as “vital” or “historical” are to be protected
in a manner that establishes the priority of recovery of the data in a timely manner
following a disaster or system disruption. Such Records are those records or information
that are needed to recover from a disaster or resume business operations and should be
protected in accordance with City procedures and standards.
10.3. Under no circumstances are records specified in Government Code section 34090
authorized to be destroyed, even when digitized, including the minutes, ordinances or
resolutions of the City Council or a City board or commission.
11. Administrative Policies and Procedures
11.1 Notwithstanding this policy or any other Council-adopted policies or procedures, the
City Clerk, in consultation with the City Attorney, shall have the authority to develop and
amend administrative policies and procedures, as necessary, to implement the terms of this
policy.

1. Purpose
The City of Chula Vista’s Records stored in the Laserfiche repository are to be retained for the
length of time defined in the City’s Retention Schedule. The Retention Schedule identifies the
categories of Records of the City and how long each category shall be retained, consistent with

for each department to allow for the automated calculation of retention periods.
Records may not be deleted from Laserfiche or destroyed until they have passed their retention
period. This procedure defines the steps to be completed in destroying “official” electronic City
Records that are stored in the Laserfiche repository once their retention period has passed. Records
that reside outside of the Laserfiche repository are not addressed in this procedure.
2. Scope
This procedure applies to elected officials, employees, Council-appointed board, commission, and
committee members, contractors, consultants, and volunteers, who are acting on behalf of the City
and have access to, use of, or are involved in the creation, maintenance or storage of the City’s

4. Procedure
Annually, the City Clerk will initiate the process to delete electronic official Records that have met
retention requirements from Laserfiche.
a) The City Clerk contacts the City Attorney requesting information regarding any active or
potential legal action(s) against the City to determine which category(s) of Records may be
relevant to the action and therefore should be preserved and placed on Legal Hold.
b) City Clerk searches, or causes a search to be conducted, for the relevant Records, suspends their
destruction date and annotates the Records to indicate that they are on Legal Hold.
c) City Clerk prepares a Records Notification containing a list of Records eligible for deletion
based on the Retention Schedule requirements. The notification specifies the date on which
deletion of these Records is scheduled to occur.
d) City Clerk sends the Records Notification to departments regarding the required deletio n of
obsolete electronic Records in Laserfiche. Included in the notification is a link to the Retention
Schedule and who to contact with questions. The Records Notification is to include the
following:
Record categories that shall not be deleted due to their relevance in a legal action.
The list of Records eligible for deletion according to the City’s Retention Schedule.

The deadline for a department to contact the City Clerk to prevent the deletion of the
obsolete Records.
e) Departments shall notify the City Clerk’s Office by the deadline on the Records Notification if
any of the Records eligible to be deleted should be exempted from deletion and shall provide a
written justification for that exemption. In addition, departments shall notify the City Clerk if
any of the documents on the list should be considered for continued retention due to ongoing
historical value.
f) The City Clerk sends the final list of Records eligible for deletion to the City Attorney and the
Finance Director to confirm there is no legal reason for continuing to retain these Records.
g) The City Attorney and the Finance Director review and approve the deletion of the eligible
Records and send their approval to the City Clerk.
h) On the designated date, or as soon as practicable thereafter, the City Clerk will delete the
Records that have passed their retention period and have not been held for any legal or business
reason.
City Clerk maintains the documentation of compliance with this in accordance with the Retention
Schedule.

Report Number: 22-0270
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 a Memorandum of Understanding with Chula Vista Elementary School District
for a School Resource Officer Program, appropriating $156,548 to the Police Department General Fund, and
adding one Peace Officer to the authorized staffing level of the Police Department. (4/5 Vote Required)
SUMMARY
The Police Department has worked in partnership with school districts for many years to ensure the safety,
welfare and best possible educational opportunities of students and staff on school campuses in Chula Vista.
Adoption of this resolution will approve a Memorandum of Understanding with Chula Vista Elementary
School District in FY 2022/2023 for the School Resource Officer Program, appropriate $156,548 to the Police
Department General Fund, and add one Peace Officer to the authorized staffing level of the Police
Department.
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
For decades, Chula Vista Police Department (CVPD) has partnered with the Sweetwater Union High School
District (SUHSD) and Chula Vista Elementary School District (CVESD) to ensure the safety, welfare and best
possible educational opportunities of students and staff on school campuses in Chula Vista. Campus security
is increased by the presence of police officers who proactively and positively interact with students. Police
officer presence on campus improves relations between the Police Department and the youth of the
community.
It is the goal of the Police Department’s School Resource Officer (SRO) program to enhance the safety,
security and success of the District’s scholastic institutions by maintaining close, consistent and productive
relationships with students, their families, and staff. This program was designed to help students to obtain
an equal opportunity to achieve academic, social and community success in a safe environment. On-campus,
School Resource Officers focus on maintaining a positive partnership with students and staff, providing early
intervention services to youth and overall improved community relations through partnership, prevention,
intervention, education and progressive enforcement strategies.
During FY 2021/2022, the entire SRO program consisted of one Police Sergeant, one Police Agent, ten (10)
Police Officers, and one Secretary. The SRO program has long provided services to 62 public schools (11 high
schools, 7 middle schools, 49 elementary schools, and 8 alternative and adult schools associated with the
districts) in the City of Chula Vista and served a student population of more than 70,000 students.
Since 2010, a portion of the costs for the SRO program has been shared between the City of Chula Vista, the
CVESD, and the SUHSD. The CVESD originally provided funding for slightly less than the cost of one-half (0.5)
Police Agent and three (3.0) Police Officers. These three and one-half sworn personnel provided services to
more than 49 sites and scholastic institutions and more than 22,453 students within the CVESD.
For the FY 2022/2023 year, CVESD approved an increase in funding to support adding one (1.0) Police
Officer to provide services to the district, which results in the addition of one Peace Officer to the authorized
staffing of the Police Department. Accordingly, on August 10, 2022, the CVESD School Board approved the
amended Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for the SRO program during the 2022/2023 school year
that included costs for four and one-half sworn personnel. The cost to CVESD totaled $715,326 in
2022/2023. The MOU covers a one-year period of July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2023, and may be extended for
two (2) additional one-year periods upon written approval of both parties.
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.).
2022/10/04 City Council Post Agenda Page 65 of 78
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
The FY22/23 reimbursement from Chula Vista Elementary School District covers the personnel costs of 0.5
FTE Police Agent and four Police Officers in the SRO program. The personnel costs of 0.5 FTE Police Agent
and three Police Officers are already included in the Police Department’s baseline budget. The addition of a
fourth Police Officer requires an additional appropriation of $156,548 to accept this Memorandum of
Understanding, and to bring total SRO program staffing to one Police Sergeant, one Police Agent, eleven (11)
Police Officers, and one Secretary. The additional appropriation of $156,548 to the Police Department
General Fund is completely reimbursed by the Chula Vista Elementary School District.
The table below outlines the addition of the 4th SRO, resulting in $715,326 reimbursement from CVESD.
POSITIONS FY 22/23 FY 22/23 FY 22/23

1 SRO $0 $156,548 $156,548
TOTAL SRO COST $558,778 $156,548 $715,326
Adoption of this resolution accepts the Memorandum of Understanding with Chula Vista Elementary School
District for the School Resource Officer Program, appropriates $156,548 to the personnel category of the
Police Department General Fund, and adds one Peace Officer to the authorized staffing level of the Pol ice
Department. The cost of this new officer is fully funded by CVESD, resulting in no net fiscal impact to the
General Fund.
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
The Police Department will continue providing updated personnel costs of the SRO program when drafting
subsequent MOUs, and will seek Council approval of those MOUs.
