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. Before the vote, there is no separate discussion of
these items unless Councilmembers, staff, or the public request items be removed. Removed items are
discussed after the vote on the remaining consent calendar items.
Public Comment provides an opportunity to address the City Council on any matter not listed on the agenda
that is within the jurisdiction of the City Council. Under the Brown Act, the City Council cannot take action on
matters not listed on the agenda.
Public Hearings are held on matters specifically required by law. Following presentations from staff, if any,
and questions from the Councilmembers, the Mayor opens the public hearing and asks for public comments.
After public comments, the hearing is closed, and the City Council may discuss and take action.
Action Items are items expected to cause discussion and/or action by the City Council but do not legally
require a public hearing. Staff may make a presentation and Councilmembers may ask staff and the involved
parties questions before the Mayor invites public input.
Closed Session may only be attended by members of the City Council, support staff, and/or legal counsel.
The common purpose of closed session is to avoid revealing confidential information that may prejudice the
City's legal or negotiating position or compromise employees' privacy interests. Closed session may be held
only in very limited circumstances as authorized by law.
CITY COUNCIL ACTIONS:
Resolutions are formal expressions of opinion or intention of the City Council and are usually effective
immediately.
Ordinances are laws adopted by the City Council. Ordinances usually amend, repeal, or supplement the
Municipal Code; provide zoning specifications; or appropriate money for specific purposes. Most ordinances
require two hearings and 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.

legitimate need to conduct City business in an efficient, orderly manner and provide a forum for
all persons to petition the government for redress of grievances; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Chula Vista finds that conduct by persons
addressing the City Council during City Council meetings which interferes with, disrupts, disturbs,
or otherwise impedes the orderly conduct of City Council meetings, prevents the City Council
from conducting its business, and inhibits the ability of citizens to petition their government for
the redress of grievances; and
WHEREAS, City Council meetings are limited public fora (White v. Norwalk, 900 F.2d
1421 (9th Cir. 1990), and the City Council may adopt regulations related to conduct at meetings
that are reasonable to the purpose of the forum and viewpoint neutral (Norse v. City of Santa Cruz,
629 F.3d 966 (9th Cir. 2010); and
WHEREAS, applicable law, including Government Code section 54954.3, provides that
the legislative body of a local agency may adopt regulations limiting the total amount of time
allocated for public testimony on particular issues and for each individual speaker; and
WHEREAS, applicable law, including Government Code section 54957.95, authorizes an
individual who engages in disruptive behavior at a meeting to be removed from such meeting; and
WHEREAS, prohibited conduct at City Council meetings must be limited to conduct that
actually disrupts the orderly operation of such meetings (Acosta v. City of Costa Mesa, 718 F.3d
800 (9th Cir. 2013).

behavior during a City Council meeting, or disorderly behavior that is so significant that a
warning cannot be given, constitutes the type of behavior that actually disrupts, disturbs or
otherwise impedes the orderly conduct of a City Council meeting.

upon being instructed to do so by the presiding officer or a majority of the Council, the
presiding officer or the majority of the Council may direct the Chief of Police or person

addressing the City Council.

his or her name and address in an audible tone of voice for the record, and shall
limit his or her address to three minutes. Persons addressing the Council on items
listed on the agenda shall limit their communication to five minutes, unless further
time is granted by the presiding officer. All remarks shall be addressed to the
Council as a body and not to any member thereof. No person, other than a
Councilmember and the person having the floor, shall be permitted to enter into
any discussion without the permission of the presiding officer.
2.04.240 Addressing the Council – Spokesman for a group of persons.
When any group of persons wishes to address the Council on the same subject matter, it shall be
proper for the presiding officer to request that a spokesman be chosen by the
group to address the Council, and in case additional matters are to be presented at
the time by any other member of such group, to limit the number of persons so
addressing the Council so as to avoid unnecessary repetition before the Council.
Further, groups of persons shall be limited to a total presentation period of 30
minutes. The presiding officer shall first call for representatives of groups in favor of
the matter under consideration and then for those persons in opposition to the
matter under consideration, and thereafter shall allow a rebuttal time limited to five
minutes to the proponents, who shall confine rebuttal remarks to answering
comments made in opposition and not the introduction of new testimony. Further
time may be granted at the discretion of the presiding officer, and in the case of
public hearings, the presiding officer may, dependent upon the necessity for
insuring adequate presentation of testimony and evidence to provide a fair hearing
and due process, set longer time limitations. The decision of the presiding officer in
regard to the setting of time limitations may be appealed to the Council.
2.04.250 Addressing the Council – After certain procedures – Permission
required.

sergeant-at-arms of the City Council, and he shall attend meetings at the request of the presiding
officer, City Manager, or City Council. He shall be available to respond to all meetings immediately
upon call. He shall carry out all orders given by the presiding officer or Council for the purpose of
maintaining order and decorum at the Council meetings. Any Councilmember may move to require

Page 35 of 476
City of Chula Vista - City Council
January 9, 2024 Post Agenda
conduct of any City Council meeting shall, upon an order by the presiding officer or a majority of the
Council, be barred from further audience before the City Council during that meeting, pursuant to
the provisions of section (C), below.
B.Disorderly Behavior Defined. Disorderly behavior under subdivision (A) may include, but is not
limited to, the following:
1. Speaking without being recognized by the presiding officer.
2. Continuing to speak after the allotted time has expired or has been paused.
3. Speaking on an item at a time not designated for discussion by the public of that item.
4. Throwing objects.
5. Speaking on an issue that is not within the jurisdiction of the Council.
6. Attempting to engage the audience rather than the Council.
7. Addressing staff members or individual Councilmembers directly rather than the Council as
a whole during the public comment period.
8. Refusing to modify conduct after being advised by the presiding officer that the conduct is
disrupting the meeting, or disobeying any other lawful order of the presiding officer or a majority of
the Council.
9. Engaging in behavior that constitutes a use of force or a true threat of force.
CB. Enforcement. The rules of conduct while addressing the Council set forth above shall be
enforced in the following manner:
1.Call to order and warning to desist. Whenever practicable, the presiding officer or a majority
of the Council shall give a warning to the person who is breaching the rules of conduct to be
orderly and to comply with the rules of conduct hereunder. Such a warning shall articulate the
rule of conduct being violated and the manner in which the person must comply.
A warning shall not be necessary when it would not be effective under the circumstances,
including when, but not limited to, the disturbance is such that the warning cannot be heard
above the noise, or the conduct of the person or persons constitutes an immediate threat to
public safety, such as the throwing of objects or specific threats of harm and the apparent,
Page 36 of 476
City of Chula Vista - City Council
January 9, 2024 Post Agenda
present ability to carry out such threats. A warning shall also not be necessary when an individual
violates the rules of conduct more than once during a Council meeting.
2.Order barring person from meeting. A person who engages in disorderly behavior shall be
barred from the remainder of that City Council meeting by the presiding officer or a majority of
the Council when that person: (i) continues the disorderly behavior after receiving a warning
pursuant to subdivision (C)(1); (ii) ceases the disorderly behavior upon receiving a warning
pursuant to subdivision (C)(1), but later in the same Council meeting resumes such disorderly
behavior; or (iii) engages in disorderly behavior and no warning is practicable under the
circumstances, pursuant to subdivision (C)(1).
The continuation of disorderly behavior after receiving a warning, repeated disorderly
behavior during a City Council meeting, or disorderly behavior that is so significant that a
warning cannot be given, constitutes the type of behavior that actually disrupts, disturbs or
otherwise impedes the orderly conduct of a City Council meeting.
1.Removal. If the person barred from the meeting does not voluntarily remove him/herself
upon being instructed to do so by the presiding officer or a majority of the Council, the presiding
officer or the majority of the Council may direct the Chief of Police or person designated by Chief
of Police to remove that person from the Council chambers.Rules adopted to expedite the
transaction of the business of the Council in an orderly fashion are deemed to be procedural only
and the failure to strictly observe such rules shall not affect the jurisdiction of the Council or
invalidate any action taken at a meeting that is otherwise held in conformity with law.
3.
(D) The following conduct is unlawful and shall be punishable as a misdemeanor:
1. Continuing to engage in disorderly conduct, which disrupts, disturbs or otherwise impedes
the orderly conduct of any City Council meeting, after receiving a warning pursuant to
subdivision (C)(1) of this section.
2. Refusing to leave a City Council meeting after being directed to do so pursuant to
subdivision (C)(2) of this section.
3. Returning to a City Council meeting after being barred, removed or directed to leave such
meeting pursuant to subdivisions (C)(2) and (C)(3) of this section.

any meeting or otherwise interrupting the proceedings of the Council, or who refuses to carry out
orders and instructions given by the presiding officer for the purpose of maintaining order and
decorum at the Council meeting, or who interrupts proceedings, shall upon conviction be deemed

D. Upon instructions of the presiding officer, it shall be the duty of the sergeant-at-arms, or any of
them present, to place any person who violates the order and decorum of the meeting under arrest.
E. For the purpose of this chapter, a criminal complaint shall be signed by the presiding officer. (Ord.
1486 § 2, 1973; prior code § 1.224).

Speaker Time Limits
Applicable law, including the Ralph M. Brown Act, allows public entities to place reasonable
time, place, and manner restrictions on public comment at their meetings. The proposed
changes to speaker time limits aim to strike a balance between the public’s right and need to
address their elected officials, while also allowing the City to manage public meetings,
complete them reasonably efficiently, and promote an environment that allows all members of
the public to engage and be able to offer comments.
Proposed changes to speaker time limits include:

74bdc72cffaf&Agenda=Agenda&lang=English&Item=64&Tab=attachments
Consent Calendar. Each speaker will be allowed up to three minutes to speak to any or ALL
ITEMS ON THE CONSENT CALENDAR. Discussion of an item, information from staff, or a
separate vote on any item by the City Council on the consent calendar do not remove an item
from the consent calendar.
Agenda Items (Not on the Consent Calendar). Each speaker will be allowed up to two
minutes to address the Council concerning the agenda item.
Members of the public do not have the right to comment outside the scope of or unrelated
to the agenda item under consideration.
Non-Agenda Items/General Public Comments. Twenty minutes will be scheduled near the
beginning of the meeting under Public Comments for members of the public to address the City
Council on items of interest to the public that are not on the agenda but are within the

more than 10 speakers, the first 10 will
be heard near the beginning of the meeting and the remaining speakers will be heard n
ear the conclusion of the meeting.
Time Limits for Speakers Who Utilize an Interpreter. To comply with State law and City practice,
staff recommends the rules be updated to specify that a member who utilizes an interpreter to
provide non-simultaneous
English language translation shall receive twice the time otherwise allotted to speak.

Hi All,
There seems to be several legislative bodies which are proposing to restrict
speaking time, and discipline people apparently fairly arbitrarily for rude
conduct. We should encourage free speech and the flow of ideas. Frankly,
most of these can already discipline rude people and limit speaking time,
so I also regard this as intimidation and bullying.
Forinstance, limits on addressing an individual Councilmember are
ridiculous - that's what they get paid for, and if the make an error, such as
being off topic or break the law (it happens,) that should be discussed.
I am concerned that if the people are prevented from fairly presenting their
ideas, they will take it to the streets. I sent this to one such legislative
body, but I think that it is a good experiment in free speech, so am sending
this to you. Please do not arbitrarily limit our free speech at meetings.
I than extremely grateful to the Board for removing their proposal to restrict
free expression from the Dec. 5 agenda.

Item 8.2 - Received 12/4/23
Page 47 of 476
City of Chula Vista - City Council
January 9, 2024 Post Agenda
"I am proposing the following amendment to the San Diego County Board
of Supervisors Rules of Procedure. Please let me know whether I need to
make a presentation in-person, virtually, or at all.
"On October 10, 2023 (00:40:30) a speaker on non-agenda, whose
grandbaby was apparently mistreated during a custody fight, was cut off
and his daughter was reduced to tears. Also on October 10, 2023
(00:56:01,) a speaker on non-agenda was called 'out of order' which is
ridiculous for non-agenda.
This sort of thing is happening too often. Speakers seem to be intimidated
and the Board's reputation for fairness diminished thereby.
"This proposed amendment is an experiment to allow the speakers on non-
agenda matters reasonable time to make their speeches, to trust that they
will respect the time of others, and to add a tone of civility to this section of
the proceedings.
"I admire the politeness shown by the Clerk of the Board at the San Diego
City Council, whose actions should be your model.
"I propose that the Board of Supervisors add to rule 4a(7) (non-agenda):
"Non-Agenda Public Communication: Notwithstanding other time limits
imposed by the Chairperson or Board, There will be a total of thirty (30)
minutes scheduled at the beginning of the Tuesday and Land Use sessions
for members of the public to address the Board on any subject matter
within the jurisdiction of the Board and which is not an item on the agenda
for that session. Each speaker must file with the Clerk a written in-person
or online Non-Agenda Public Communication Request to Speak form prior
to the scheduled opening time of the session.

Item 8.2 - Received 12/4/23
Page 48 of 476

"During this time, there shall be 5 in-person and 5 online speakers (or more
if time allows) on non-agenda items.
"Each speaker shall be allowed to speak for 3 minutes, or longer with the
permission of the Chairperson.
"Each speaker shall begin his or her remarks by saying briefly how the
Supervisors can help them or how this is within the Board's jurisdiction.
"After two and one-half (2-1/2) minutes, not interrupting whole sentences if
possible, the Clerk shall say 'Excuse me. There are other people waiting to
speak. Please respect their time and conclude your remarks. At that time,
the speaker may make a request for more time to the Chairperson. The
chairperson shall allow or not with a brief reason.
"After three (3) minutes, not interrupting whole sentences if possible, the
Clerk shall say 'please conclude your remarks. Thank you for your ideas.'
"The same procedures shall apply to speakers on non-agenda items at the
end of the meeting, except that there shall be no 30 minute limit on how
long all the speakers can speak.
"Any person filing a Public Communication Request to Speak form after the
time deadline established by this subsection shall not be allowed to make a
presentation to the Board. All issues raised by a speaker will be
automatically referred to the Chief Administrative Officer. No other action
may be taken by the Board at this time.

likely to produce good results. Thank you.

ITEM TITLE
Agreement: Approve an Agreement with Raymond James & Associates, Inc. to Provide Underwriter Services
Report Number: 24-0004
Location: Community Facilities Districts 06-I IA A, 06-I IA B, 07-I, 08-I, and 2001-2
Department: Finance
G.C. § 84308: No
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 an agreement with Raymond James & Associates, Inc. to provide underwriter
services in connection with the bond refinancing of the Chula Vista Municipal Financing Authority Special
Tax Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 2013.
SUMMARY
The City of Chula Vista (the "City") refinanced five series of special tax refunding bonds in 2013 under the
Chula Vista Municipal Financing Authority, each issued by a Community Facilities District (CFD) of the City.
The City now has the opportunity to refinance the Special Tax Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 2013, and
reduce the future special taxes levied on affected homes within the applicable CFDs. The City issued a Request
for Proposal (RFP) for underwriter services in connection with the bond refinancing of the Chula Vista
Municipal Financing Authority Special Tax Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 2013. Seven bidders submitted
proposals. After an evaluation of the proposals, a selection committee recommended Raymond James &
Associates, Inc. In this action, staff recommends approval of an agreement with Raymond James & Associates,
Inc. for Underwriter Services in relation to the Bond Refinancing of the Chula Vista Municipal Financing
Authority Special Tax Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 2013.

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
The City has the opportunity to refinance the Chula Vista Municipal Financing Authority Special Tax Revenue
Refunding Bonds, Series 2013. The Special Tax Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 2013 (2013 Bonds)
refinanced five series of special tax refunding bonds, each issued by a CFD of the City (CFD 06-I IA A, CFD 06-
I IA B, CFD 07-I, CFD 08-I and CFD 2001-2).
The estimated bond issuance (2024 Bonds) for this bond refinancing will be approximately $40,000,000 and
the bonds will mature in 2034, with no extension of the existing 2013 Bonds maturity. The total costs of
issuance are estimated to be $400,000 to be paid from the bond proceeds provided by the bond
refinancing. This includes the cost of Bond Counsel and Disclosure Counsel ($90,000), Special Tax Consultant
Services ($45,000) and Municipal Advisor Services ($70,000). The total estimated costs of issuance also
include credit rating fees, fiscal agent fees, printing fees and the underwriter’s commission ($195,000).
Additional details concerning the 2024 Bonds will be presented to the City Council at a future meeting to
approve the issuance of the 2024 Bonds. The Municipal Advisor has estimated the 2024 Bonds debt service
based on current interest rates as of November 28, 2023. Using those estimates, the existing homeowners
should see a reduction of approximately 8.5% in their special tax that is included on their 2024-25 property
tax bills. That generates an average reduction of approximately $80 per year for detached homes and $55
per year for attached homes compared to the special tax that was included on the homeowners’ 2023 -24
property tax bills, based on today’s bond market conditions. The savings also vary by home size and by
individual CFD. Underwriter services are required for the issuance of the 2024 Bonds.
On September 29, 2023, the City issued RFP P09-2024 for Underwriter Services in connection with the 2024
Bonds. Hilltop Securities, JP Morgan, Piper Sandler, Raymond James & Associates, Inc., Samuel A. Ramirez &
Co., Inc., Stern’s Brothers, and Stifel Nicolaus & Company, Inc. submitted proposals in response to the RFP.
The City’s selection committee members reviewed, scored, and discussed the firms based on qualification of
personnel, adherence of firm’s proposal to RFP guidelines, resources available to perform tasks on time and
within budget, firm experience directly related to contract, and total cost and justification. After
comprehensive assessment, staff recommends approving the agreement with Raymond James & Associates,
Inc., to provide Underwriter Services.
Staff is recommending the City enter into an agreement from January 9, 2024 through September 18, 2024.
The City reserves the right to procure the services of Raymond James & Associates, Inc. for any future bond
issuances/bond refinancing to be completed through September 18, 2029. At which time the City will draft
a new two-party agreement with the scope of services specific to said bond issuance for Council approval.

DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council and has found that Mayor McCann has real
property holdings within 500 feet of the boundaries of CFD 06-I which is the subject of this action.
Consequently, pursuant to California Code of Regulations Title 2, sections 18700 and 18702.2 (a) (7), 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.
CURRENT-YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
This agreement is funded by bond proceeds from the bond refinancing with a not-to-exceed amount of
$107,565. There is no additional current-year fiscal impact anticipated as a result of this action.
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
There is no ongoing fiscal impact to the City as a result of this action.

financial strategies, if any, that are in compliance with the Mello-Roos Act for refunding

GENERAL CONDITIONS
Evaluation
The Purchasing Agent along with the Department Representatives will evaluate responses. The City reserves the right to reject
any or all responses and to waive any irregularity or informality in any response to the extent permitted by law. All respondents are
responsible for reading the attached specifications, terms and conditions, Performance Standards, General Conditions, and
General Provisions, which are considered part of your bid and any contract awarded.
Award
It is the City’s intent to award this contract to a single contractor based on the primary services (as outlined on PlanetBids).
However, the city retains the ability to utilize alternate contractor/s in the event the awarded contractor is unable to provide
services in the time outlined by the city. The award will be made to the lowest, responsive and responsible bidder who,
in the City's sole judgement, has the necessary experience, skill, business standing, equipment, staffing, and financial stability
to properly maintain the City's bid. The extent to which the respondent proposes to subcontract work will also be a
consideration in award.
This RFP does not commit the City to award a contract, to pay any costs incurred in the preparation of the proposal to this
request, or to procure or contract for services or supplies. The City reserves the right to accept or reject any or all proposals
received as a result of this request, to negotiate with any qualified source, or to cancel in part or entirely this RFP, if it is in the
best interest of the City to do so. The City further reserves the right to waive any technicalities or minor irregularities in bids
received. The City may require the selected respondent to participate in negotiations and to submit such price, technical or
other revisions of their proposals as may result from negotiations. The City shall be the sole judge in determining award of
contract.
Local Business Consideration
According to the Chula Vista Municipal Code, Chapter 2.56.080, letter G, In accordance with Section 1011 of the Charter,
in the event two or more bids are received which are for the same total amount or unit price and in all other respects are
equal, the contract shall be awarded to a local respondent. In the event, however, that such tie bids are all from vendors
either wholly inside or all outside of the city, then the contract shall be awarded by drawing lots in public. In evaluating
bids for award, the City of Chula Vista considers the 1% sales tax allocated back to the City from vendors located in Chula Vista.
PUBLIC DISCLOSURE
All proposals submitted in response to this RFP become the property of the City and public records, and as such may be subject
to public review. Under the California Public Records Act (California Government Code Section 6250 et seq.) records in the
custody of a public entity generally have to be disclosed unless the information being sought falls into one or more of the
exemptions to disclosure set out in Government Code Sections 6254 through 6255.
A cover letter should be provided with the proposal containing a paragraph that states whether or not Vendor believes that its
proposal does or does not contain information that falls into one of the exemptions of Government Code Sections 6254 through
6255 and whether or not Vendor considers such information to be confidential.
In the absence of a declaration, the City may be obligated to disclose the proposal to any party that requests it. Regardless of
assertions of confidentiality, proposal contents may still be disclosed if City, or a court with jurisdiction, determines that such
proposal is a public record requiring disclosure.

calendar days from the notification date.

35. Lawful Performance
Bidder shall abide by all Federal, State and Local Laws, Ordinances, Regulations, and Statutes as may be related
to the performance of duties under this agreement. In addition, all applicable permits and licenses required
shall be obtained by the bidder, at bidder’s sole expense.
36. Business License
Chula Vista Municipal Code Section 5.02.020 requires all firm/entities doing business with the City to obtain a
Business License. Section 5.02.20 states: It is unlawful for any person, or for any person as agent, clerk or
employee, either for himself or for any other person, within the corporate limits of the City, to transact, engage
in, or carry on any business, show, exhibition or game hereinafter specified without first having procured a
license.
37. Annual Appropriation of Funds
Multi-year term supply and service contracts and leases are subject to annual appropriation of funds by the City
Council. Payments made under term contracts and leases are considered items of current expense. Purchase
Orders are funded when issued; therefore, they are current expense items and are not subject to any
subsequent appropriation of funds.
In the event sufficient funds are not appropriated for the payment of lease payments or anticipated term
contract payments required to be paid in the next occurring lease or contract term, and if no funds are legally
available from other sources, the lease or contract may be terminated at the end of the original term or renewal
term and the City shall not be obligated to make further payments beyond the then current original or renewal
term. The City will provide notice of its inability to continue the lease or contract at such time as the Purchasing
Agent is aware of the non-appropriation of funds. However, failure to notify does not renew the term of the
lease or contract. The City has no monetary obligation in event of termination or reduction of a term contract
since such contracts represent estimated quantities and is not funded as a contract except to the extent of the
Purchase Orders issued.
38. Extension
When in the City’s best interest, this agreement may be extended on a daily, month-to-month, or annual basis
by mutual agreement of both parties. Services and/or materials received under an extension shall be in
accordance with pricing, terms, and conditions, as described herein.
39. Debarment
The Purchasing Agent may recommend to the City Council that the person or business be debarred from
consideration for award of contracts. The period of debarment will be contingent upon the severity of cause.
Causes for debarment include:
a) Conviction under state or federal statutes of embezzlement, theft, forgery, bribery, falsification or
destruction of records, receiving stolen property, or other offense indicating a lack of business integrity
or business honesty
b) Violation of contract provisions which is regarded by the Purchasing Agent to be so serious as to justify
debarment action, including:
i. Deliberate failure without good cause to perform in accordance with the specifications or
within the time limit provided in the contract; or
ii. A recent record of failure to perform or of unsatisfactory performance in accordance with the
terms of one or more contracts, or
Page 94 of 476

iii. Two or more claims of computational error in bid submission within a two-year period.
c) Debarment by another governmental entity.

as a City bidder. A bidder may be permanently debarred for the following causes:

ITEM TITLE
Agreement: Approve an Agreement with Spicer Consulting Group, LLC to Provide Special Tax Consultant and
Other Administration Services
Report Number: 23-0278
Location: The Community Facilities Districts and Open Space Districts are located throughout the City. For
specific locations, please see Attachment Nos. 3 and 4
Department: Finance
G.C. § 84308: Yes
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 an agreement with Spicer Consulting Group, LLC to provide Special Tax
Consultant and Other Administration Services.
SUMMARY
The City of Chula Vista (the "City") issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for Special District Consulting
Services, as well as administration, apportionments and related services for the City’s Delinquent Trash Fund
and Delinquent Sanitation Fund; arbitrage calculations and continuing disclosure services for non-land
based bonds, including future issuances that may be created throughout the term of the agreement; and
continuing disclosure services related to the Bayfront Project Special Tax Financing District. Three bidders
submitted proposals. After an evaluation of the proposals, a selection committee recommended Spicer
Consulting Group, LLC (SCG). Staff recommends approving a three-year agreement with SCG with up to two
(2) one-year extension options.
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
Page 96 of 476
City of Chula Vista - City Council
January 9, 2024 Post Agenda
P a g e | 2
environment. Therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, the activity is not
subject to CEQA. Thus, no environmental review is required.
BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
Not applicable.
DISCUSSION
The City has one (1) Assessment District, thirty-two (32) Community Facilities Districts, thirty-five (35) Open
Space Districts, one (1) Bayfront Project Special Tax Financing District, one Sewer Assessment District, one
Delinquent Trash Fund and one Delinquent Sanitation Fund. Additionally, the City has bonded debt which
includes Certificates of Participation (COPs), Lease Revenue Bonds (LRBs), Tax Allocation Bonds (TABs), and
Pension Obligation Bond (POBs). The City currently contracts out part of the Administration of these
districts, funds, and bonded debt.
On July 2023, the City issued RFP P04-2024 for Special Tax Consultant and Other Administration Services.
Albert Webb, Spicer Consulting Group, LLC (SCG), and Willdan Financial Services submitted proposals in
response to the RFP. The City’s Selection Committee members reviewed, scored, and discussed the firms
based on the qualification of personnel, adherence of firm’s proposal to RFP guidelines, resources available
to perform tasks on time and within budget, firm experience directly related to contract, and total cost and
justification. After comprehensive assessment, the selection committee recommended approving the
agreement with SCG to provide Special Tax Consultant and Other Administration Services including but not
limited to: Community Facilities District Administration; Assessment District Administration and
Apportionments; Open Space District Administration; delinquency management/monitoring and related
services; administration and apportionments for the City’s Delinquent Trash and Delinquent Sanitation
funds; arbitrage calculations and continuing disclosure for the City’s bonded debt; and continuing disclosure
for the Bayfront Project Special Tax Financing District.
Staff recommends entering into an initial three-year agreement from January 9, 2024 to December 31, 2026
with a not-to-exceed amount of $525,952 with SCG, with up to two (2) one-year options to extend for a total
of five (5) years (potentially through December 31, 2028).
The average annual cost of this agreement is estimated to total approximately $175,318.
DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council and has found that Mayor McCann,
Councilmember Gonzalez and Councilmember Chavez have real property holdings within 500 feet of the
boundaries of the property which is the subject of this action, and Councilmember Preciado has real property
holdings within 1,000 feet, but beyond 500 feet, which is the subject of this action. However, to the extent
that any decision would have a reasonably foreseeable financial effect on the member’s real property, the
effect would be nominal, inconsequential, or insignificant. Consequently, pursuant to California Code of
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.).
Page 97 of 476

Staff is not independently aware and has not been informed by any City Council member, of any other fact

this Agreement. If City determines that Consultant is not entitled to receive any amount of compensation

payable under this Agreement for work satisfactorily performed as of the date of the termination/suspension
notice plus any additional remaining Required Services requested or approved by City in advance that would
maximize City’s value under the Agreement.

Background
The Assessment District was formed under the Municipal Improvement Act of 1913 and bonds issued
pursuant to the Improvement Bond Act of 1915 (Division 10 of the Streets and Highways Code),
refunded initially under the Refunding Act of 1984 for 1915 Improvement Act Bonds (Division 11.5 of the
Streets and Highways Code), and later refunded under the Marks-Roos Local Bond Pooling Act of 1985
(Title 1, Division 7, Chapter 5, Article 4 of the California Government Code.)
The Community Facilities Districts were formed under the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982.
Eighteen (18) of these districts (CFDs 97-1A, 97-1B, 97-2, 98-3, 99-2, 07M IA1, 07M IA2, 08M IA1,
08M IA2, 09M, 11M, 12M IA1, 12M IA2, 13M, 14M IA1, 14M IA2, 18M and 19M) provide funds for the
maintenance of open space or preserve areas. One district (CFD 97-3) is an acquisition district for the
construction of public improvements. Fourteen (14) districts (CFDs 99-1, 2000-1, 2001-1, 2001-1B, 2001-
2, 06IA, 06IB, 07I(2004), 07I (2006), 08I, 12I, 16IA, 16IB and 13I) involve bond issues and provide funds
for the construction of backbone streets and associated improvements, Public Facilities Development
Impact Fee (PFDIF) improvements, and pedestrian bridges.
The Open Space Districts were formed under the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 (Division 15, Part
2 of the California Streets and Highways Code.)

The Montgomery Sewer District is a financing mechanism for the collection of wastewater conveyance
and treatment service fees for a portion of the City. For Fiscal year 2022/2023, the district levied 3,766
parcels for $3.8M.
The Solid Waste fund accounts for revenues derived from franchise fees paid to the City of Chula Vista
by its authorized collector of solid waste, Republic Services. The accumulation, storage, collection,
transportation, processing and disposal of solid waste is a matter of public concern. Accordingly, the
minimum weekly collection of solid waste from all residences and places of business in the City is a
mandatory service and shall not be discontinued. All owners and occupants of premises within the City
shall be responsible for paying solid waste service rates charged by the City or its authorized collector.
Republic Services issues bills customers in varying cycles on a bi-monthly schedule. Republic Services
pays the City its franchise fee on a monthly basis.
The Sewer fund accounts for revenues derived from services provided to parcels connected to the City’s
wastewater system. The City builds, operates and contracts for public sewers and wastewater facilities,
which serve homes, industries and commercial establishments. The owner or occupant of any parcel of
real property which is connected to the sewer system of the City and to a water system maintained by
the Sweetwater Authority, the Otay Water District or the California – American Water Company shall
pay the required sewer service charges. For parcels serviced by the Otay Water District, sewer billing is
included with their water bills. For parcels serviced by the Sweetwater Authority, the City bills the
account holder directly. For parcels in the Montgomery Sewer Assessment District, sewer billing is
included in the County property tax roll.
Bayfront was formed in 2019 for the purpose of financing certain public and private improvements and
providing maintenance and services to serve the Chula Vista Bayfront Project. This includes the financing
of a Convention Center Facility, and other certain public and/or private improvements. A loan
agreement was signed on May 26, 2022 between the Bayfront Project Special Tax Financing District,
Chula Vista Bayfront Facilities Financing Authority and Wilmington Trust, N.A. This loan is known as the
“Bayfront Project Special Tax Financing District Public Infrastructure Loan” and totaled $104,415,870.71
at the date of said agreement.

consideration in award.
This RFB does not commit the City to award a contract, to pay any costs incurred in the preparation of the proposal to this
request, or to procure or contract for services or supplies. The City reserves the right to accept or reject any or all proposals
received as a result of this request, to negotiate with any qualified source, or to cancel in part or entirely this RFB, if it is in the

equal, the contract shall be awarded to a local respondent. In the event, however, that such tie bids are all from vendors
either wholly inside or all outside of the city, then the contract shall be awarded by drawing lots in public. In evaluating
bids for award, the City of Chula Vista considers the 1% sales tax allocated back to the City from vendors located in Chula Vista.
Firm Prices
Prices shall remain firm for vehicles specifically listed for a minimum of ninety (90) days from the bid opening date.

part of the bid documents and shall be returned with them. Before submitting a bid, each bidder shall ascertain
whether or not any addenda have been issued, and failure to cover in this bid any such addenda issued may
render the bid invalid and result in its rejection.
16. Specifications to Prevail
The detailed requirements of the specifications shall supersede any conflicting reference in these General
Provisions that are in conflict therewith.
17. Taxes

evaluation of bids.

securing favorable treatment with respect to performance of this agreement.

and individual awards will be made for the items and combinations of items which result in the lowest
aggregate price to the City, including such administrative cost.
e) Upon acceptance by the City of Chula Vista, the solicitation, bid, proposal, or price quotation and a
purchase order issued to the successful bidder shall be deemed to result in a binding contract
incorporating those terms and these General Provisions without further action required by either party.

specifications, and provisions in the complete contract, as defined by this clause 28 or any related

29. City Provisions to Prevail
Except as indicated in the specifications, the City’s standard General Provisions shall govern any contract award.
Any standard terms and conditions of bidder submitted by bidder shall not be acceptable to City unless expressly
agreed to by the City. The City reserves the right to reject bidder’s bid as non-responsive, to consider the bid
without bidder’s standard terms and conditions, or to require bidder to delete reference to such as a condition
of evaluation or award of the bid. If, after award of contract, bidder (contract vendor) shall provide materials
or services accompanied by new or additional standard terms or conditions, they too shall be considered void
and City may require deletion as a further condition of performance by Bidder. To the extent not otherwise
provided for by the contract documents, the California Commercial Code shall apply.
30. Invalid Provisions
In the event that any one or more of the provisions of this agreement shall be found to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in effect and be enforceable.
31. Amendments and Modifications
The Purchasing Agent may at any time, by written order, and without notice to the sureties, make a modification
to the contract or an amendment to the Purchase Order, within the general scope of this contract, in (1) quantity
of materials or service, whether more or less; (2) drawings, designs, or specifications, where the supplies to be
furnished are to be specially manufactured for the City; (3) method of shipment or packing; and (4) place of
delivery. If any such change causes an increase or decrease in the cost or the time required for the performance
of this contract, an equitable adjustment shall be made by written modification of the contract or amendment
to the Purchase Order. Any claim by the bidder for adjustment under this clause must be asserted within 30
calendar days from the notification date.
32. Assignment
Bidder shall not assign or delegate duties or responsibilities under this agreement, in whole or in part, without
prior written approval of the City.
33. Disputes
Except as otherwise provided in these provisions, any dispute concerning a question of fact arising under this
contract which is not disposed of by agreement shall be decided by the Purchasing Agent, who shall reduce this
decision to writing and mail a copy to the bidder. The decision of the Purchasing Agent shall be final and
conclusive, unless bidder requests mediation within ten (10) calendar days. Pending final decision of a dispute,
the bidder shall proceed diligently with the performance of the contract and in accordance with the Purchasing
Agent’s decision.
34. Mediation
Should an unresolved dispute arise out of this agreement, any party may request that it be submitted to
mediation. The parties shall meet in mediation within thirty (30) days of a request. The mediator shall be agreed
to by the mediating parties; in the absence of an agreement, the parties shall each submit one name from
mediators listed by either the American Arbitration Association, the California State Board of Mediation and

Page 151 of 476
City of Chula Vista - City Council
January 9, 2024 Post Agenda
RFP P04-2024 July 28, 2023
27 | Page
attempt to reach a mediated settlement. The mediation process, once commenced by a meeting with the
mediator, shall last until agreement is reached by the parties but not more than sixty (60) days, unless the
maximum time is extended by both parties.
35. Lawful Performance
Bidder shall abide by all Federal, State and Local Laws, Ordinances, Regulations, and Statutes as may be related
to the performance of duties under this agreement. In addition, all applicable permits and licenses required
shall be obtained by the bidder, at bidder’s sole expense.
36. Business License
Chula Vista Municipal Code Section 5.02.020 requires all firm/entities doing business with the City to obtain a
Business License. Section 5.02.20 states: It is unlawful for any person, or for any person as agent, clerk or
employee, either for himself or for any other person, within the corporate limits of the City, to transact, engage
in, or carry on any business, show, exhibition or game hereinafter specified without first having procured a
license.
37. Annual Appropriation of Funds
Multi-year term supply and service contracts and leases are subject to annual appropriation of funds by the City
Council. Payments made under term contracts and leases are considered items of current expense. Purchase
Orders are funded when issued; therefore, they are current expense items and are not subject to any
subsequent appropriation of funds.
In the event sufficient funds are not appropriated for the payment of lease payments or anticipated term
contract payments required to be paid in the next occurring lease or contract term, and if no funds are legally
available from other sources, the lease or contract may be terminated at the end of the original term or renewal
term and the City shall not be obligated to make further payments beyond the then current original or renewal
term. The City will provide notice of its inability to continue the lease or contract at such time as the Purchasing
Agent is aware of the non-appropriation of funds. However, failure to notify does not renew the term of the
lease or contract. The City has no monetary obligation in event of termination or reduction of a term contract
since such contracts represent estimated quantities and is not funded as a contract except to the extent of the
Purchase Orders issued.
38. Extension
When in the City’s best interest, this agreement may be extended on a daily, month-to-month, or annual basis
by mutual agreement of both parties. Services and/or materials received under an extension shall be in
accordance with pricing, terms, and conditions, as described herein.
39. Debarment
The Purchasing Agent may recommend to the City Council that the person or business be debarred from
consideration for award of contracts. The period of debarment will be contingent upon the severity of cause.
Causes for debarment include:
a) Conviction under state or federal statutes of embezzlement, theft, forgery, bribery, falsification or
destruction of records, receiving stolen property, or other offense indicating a lack of business integrity
or business honesty
b) Violation of contract provisions which is regarded by the Purchasing Agent to be so serious as to justify
debarment action, including:

a City bidder. A bidder may be permanently debarred for the following causes:

obtain a contract or subcontract with the City of Chula Vista or in the performance of such
contract or subcontract.
iii. Conviction under State or Federal antitrust statutes arising out of the submission of bids or
proposals.

This sample agreement has been provided for the proposer’s review and comment. If a proposer wishes
to take exception to any of the terms and conditions contained in the consultant agreement, these should
be identified specifically; otherwise, it will be assumed that the proposer is willing to enter into the
agreement as it is written. Any exceptions to terms, conditions, or other requirements must be clearly
stated. Failure to identify contractual issues of dispute can later be the basis for the City disqualifying a
proposer. The City will consider such exceptions as part of the evaluation process, which may constitute
grounds for rejection of the proposal.

2.7 Payment Not Final Approval. Consultant understands and agrees that payment to the
Consultant or reimbursement for any Consultant 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 Consultant of the terms of this Agreement. If City determines that Consultant is not
entitled to receive any amount of compensation already paid, City will notify Consultant in writing and
Consultant shall promptly return such amount.
3. INSURANCE
3.1 Required Insurance. Consultant must procure and maintain, during the period of performance

the Consultant’s insurance using ISO CG 2010 (11/85) or its equivalent; such endorsement must not
exclude Products/Completed Operations coverage.

primary insurance as it pertains to the City, its officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers.
Any insurance or self-insurance maintained by the City, its officers, officials, employees, or volunteers
is wholly separate from the insurance provided by Consultant and in no way relieves Consultant from
its responsibility to provide insurance.
3.7 No Cancellation. No Required Insurance policy may be canceled by either Party during the
required insured period under this Agreement, except after thirty days’ prior written notice to the City
by certified mail, return receipt requested. Prior to the effective date of any such cancellation

of the City for each Required Insurance policy under this Agreement. In addition, Consultant waives
any right it may have or may obtain to subrogation for a claim against City.
3.9 Verification of Coverage. Prior to commencement of any work, Consultant shall furnish City
with original certificates of insurance and any amendatory endorsements necessary to demonstrate to
City that Consultant has obtained the Required Insurance in compliance with the terms of this
Agreement. The words “will endeavor” and “but failure to mail such notice shall impose no obligation
or liability of any kind upon the company, its agents, or representatives” or any similar language must
be deleted from all certificates. The required certificates and endorsements should otherwise be on
industry standard forms. The City reserves the right to require, at any time, complete, certified copies
of all required insurance policies, including endorsements evidencing the coverage required by these
specifications.
3.10 Claims Made Policy Requirements. If General Liability, Pollution and/or Asbestos Pollution
Liability and/or Errors & Omissions coverage are required and are provided on a claims-made form,

the disclosure requirements identified in the attached Exhibit C, incorporated into the Agreement by
this reference.
5.2 Disclosures; Prohibited Interests. Independent of whether Consultant is required to file a Form
700, Consultant warrants and represents that it has disclosed to City any economic interests held by
Consultant, or its employees or subcontractors who will be performing the Required Services, in any
real property or project which is the subject of this Agreement. Consultant warrants and represents that
it has not employed or retained any company or person, other than a bona fide employee or approved
subcontractor working solely for Consultant, to solicit or secure this Agreement. Further, Consultant
warrants and represents that it has not paid or agreed to pay any company or person, other than a bona
fide employee or approved subcontractor working solely for Consultant, any fee, commission,
percentage, brokerage fee, gift or other consideration contingent upon or resulting from the award or
making of this Agreement. Consultant further warrants and represents that no officer or employee of
City, has any interest, whether contractual, non-contractual, financial or otherwise, in this transaction,
the proceeds hereof, or in the business of Consultant or Consultant’s subcontractors. Consultant further

prohibited by law or this Agreement. For breach or violation of any of these warranties, City shall have
the right to rescind this Agreement without liability.
6. REMEDIES

Required Services under this Agreement, in a proper or timely manner, or if Consultant shall violate

to any and all other rights and remedies City may have under this Agreement, at law or in equity, City
shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving five (5) days written notice to Consultant.
Such notice shall identify the Default and the Agreement termination date. If Consultant notifies City
of its intent to cure such Default prior to City’s specified termination date, and City agrees that the
specified Default is capable of being cured, City may grant Consultant up to ten (10) additional days
after the designated termination date to effectuate such cure. In the event of a termination under this
Section 6.1, Consultant shall immediately provide City any and all ”Work Product” (defined in Section
7 below) prepared by Consultant as part of the Required Services. Such Work Product shall be City’s
sole and exclusive property as provided in Section 7 hereof. Consultant may be entitled to compensation

Agreement for such work, and any such compensation shall be reduced by any costs incurred or
projected to be incurred by City as a result of the Default.
6.2 Termination or Suspension for Convenience of City. City may suspend or terminate this
Agreement, or any portion of the Required Services, at any time and for any reason, with or without
cause, by giving specific written notice to Consultant of such termination or suspension at least fifteen
(15) days prior to the effective date thereof. Upon receipt of such notice, Consultant shall immediately
cease all work under the Agreement and promptly deliver all “Work Product” (defined in Section 7
below) to City. Such Work Product shall be City's sole and exclusive property as provided in Section
7 hereof. Consultant shall be entitled to receive just and equitable compensation for this Work Product
in an amount equal to the amount due and payable under this Agreement for work satisfactorily
performed as of the date of the termination/suspension notice plus any additional remaining Required
Services requested or approved by City in advance that would maximize City’s value under the
Agreement.

this Section, Consultant hereby expressly waives any and all claims for damages or compensation as a
result of such termination except as expressly provided in this Section 6.

ITEM TITLE
Ambulance Transport Services: Approve Continued Participation in the Public Provider Ground Emergency
Medical Transport Intergovernmental Transfer
Report Number: 24-0006
Location: No specific geographic location
Department: Fire
G.C. § 84308: No
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: (A) authorizing the City Manager to execute the PP-GEMT-IGT certification form to
participate in the Public Provider Intergovernmental Transfer Program for Ground Emergency Medical
Transportation Services; and (B) amending the fiscal year 2023-24 budget (4/5 Vote Required).
SUMMARY
The Fire Department provides exclusive ambulance transport services within the City of Chula Vista, the City
of Imperial Beach, and the Bonita Sunnyside Fire Protection District and is e ligible to participate in various
Federal reimbursement programs for ambulance transports.
The Department of Health Care Services developed the Public Provider Ground Emergency Medical
Transport (PP-GEMT) Intergovernmental Transfer Program (IGT) program to provide increased
reimbursements to emergency medical transports provided by eligible non-contracted public GEMT
providers. As a requirement for participation, the City must pay an annual collection amount based on call
volume, and then will receive those funds back plus additional funds through the supplemental Medi-Cal
program. To qualify, the City must submit a certification form to the State of California Department of Health
Care Services certifying compliance to program rules and eligibility.

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
The Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) developed the Public Provider Ground Emergency Medical
Transport (PP-GEMT) Intergovernmental Transfer Program (IGT) program in accordance with Assembly Bill
(AB) 1705 to provide increased reimbursements to emergency medical transports provided by eligible non-
contracted public GEMT providers. This program went into effect January 1, 2023, and the City of Chula Vista
was approved for participation in calendar year 2023 via City Council Resolution 2023-061.
The first participation period for this program was January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023. The months of
January through October 2023 have been finalized for the City’s participation. During those months, the City’s
call volume of emergency medical transports qualified under this program wer e 5,356 transports. During
this same period, the City paid $1,535,727.07 into the program. As a result, the City received funds back from
the program totaling $3,848,795.92 for the same period. These funds have been reinvested into the
Transport Enterprise Fund for various operational needs. These operational needs included, but were not
limited to, wage increases for personnel, inflation increases in supplies and services, and capital equipment
purchases, all without increasing the base transport fee to patients.
The next participation period will be January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2024. To qualify and continue
participation in the program, the City must submit a certification form to the DHCS each quarte r certifying
compliance with program rules and eligibility. In addition to the certification form, the City must contribute
an annual collection amount based on call volume, and then will receive those funds back plus additional
funds through the supplemental Medi-Cal program. The amount paid into the program and then
subsequently received back is dependent on call volumes for the period.
The DHCS is estimating the City’s portion to pay into the program to be $2,553,418.48 for calendar year 2024.
The City is expecting to receive these funds back plus additional funds as a continuation of program revenue
seen in calendar year 2023. The Fire Department continues to monitor the anticipated participation
contribution as well as anticipated revenues in the program based on call volumes for the period, as well as
future periods as part of the ongoing Transport Enterprise Fund expenditure plan.
Staff is therefore recommending that the City Council approve the City’s participation in this program and
authorize the City Manager to execute the certification form, as well as all other documents necessary to
implement the program.

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 General Fund as a result of this action. Adopting the resolution
appropriates $1,276,709.24 in program participation funds from the Transport Enterprise Fund (estimated
fiscal year 2023-24 portion of calendar year 2024 participation amount). This expense will be fully offset by
increased revenues anticipated to be received from the PP-GEMT-IGT program.
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
There is no ongoing fiscal impact to the General Fund as a result of this action. Ongoing program participation
funds will be addressed in future expenditure plans during the City’s annual budgeting process.

PUBLIC PROVIDER INTERGOVERNMENTAL TRANSFER PROGRAM FOR
GROUND EMERGENCY MEDICAL TRANSPORTATION SERVICES
CERTIFICATION FORM FOR STATE CALENDAR YEAR 2024
I, the undersigned, hereby declare and certify on behalf of ______________________
(the “Public Entity”) as follows:
1. As a public administrator, a public officer, or other public individual, I am duly
authorized to make this certification.
2. The Public Entity elects to make this intergovernmental transfer (IGT) to the
Department of Health Care Service (DHCS) as a voluntary contribution to the
non-federal share of Medi-Cal expenditures for purposes of Assembly Bill 1705
(2019) pursuant to Sections 14105.94, 14105.945, 14129, 14129.3, and 14164 of
the Welfare and Institutions (W&I) Code. All funds transferred pursuant to this
certification qualify for federal financial participation (FFP) pursuant to Section
1903(w) of the Social Security Act and Title 42 of the Code of Federal Regulations,
Section 433 Subpart B, and are not derived from impermissible sources such as
recycled Medicaid payments, federal money excluded from use as the non-federal
share, impermissible health care-related taxes, or non-bona fide provider-related
donations.
3. Voluntary contributions attributable to the period of January 1, 2024, through
December 31, 2024, will be made via recurring transfers as indicated on the
invoices provided to the Public Entity by DHCS. The Public Entity acknowledges
that any transfers made pursuant to this certification during this time period are
considered an elective IGT made pursuant to W &I Code sections 14105.945 and
14164, to be used by DHCS, subject to paragraph four herein, exclusively as the
source for the non-federal share of ground emergency medical transport public
provider supplemental payments in both Medi-Cal fee-for-service payments and
the portion of the risk-based capitation rate to Medi-Cal managed care health plans
associated with reimbursement made in accordance with Section 14105.945,
subdivision (h)(1) (hereafter, the AB 1705 Public Provider (PP) Ground Emergency
Medical Transportation (GEMT) Program, or the PP-GEMT Program), and DHCS
costs associated with administering the PP-GEMT Program.
4. DHCS may accept this voluntary contribution to the extent it is able to obtain FFP
for the PP-GEMT Program as permitted by federal law. In the event DHCS is
unable to obtain FFP for the PP-GEMT Program, or the full payments cannot
otherwise be made to and retained by eligible public providers, and, therefore, all
or a portion of the transferred amount cannot be used as the non -federal share of
payments, DHCS will notify the Public Entity via e-mail and return the applicable
portion of the unused IGT amount, no later than 90 days after such notification.

CERTIFICATION FORM FOR STATE CALENDAR YEAR 2024
5. The Public Entity acknowledges that, in accordance with W&I Code section
14105.945, subdivision (h)(2), upon CMS approval, DHCS shall assess a ten
percent (10%) fee on each transfer of public funds to the state to pay for health
care coverage and to reimburse DHCS its costs associated with administering the
PP-GEMT Program.
6. The Public Entity acknowledges that the IGT is to be used by DHCS for the filing
of a claim with the federal government for federal funds and understands that any
misrepresentation regarding the IGT may violate federal and state law.
7. The amount voluntarily transferred to DHCS is based on the estimated Medi-Cal
fee-for-service and Medi-Cal managed care non-federal share of ground
emergency medical transport public provider supplemental payments , as
referenced in paragraph three herein. Because the amount to be voluntarily
transferred to DHCS will be based on an estimate, the Public Entity acknowledges
that a reconciliation of the voluntary non-federal share contributions to the actual
non-federal share expenditures will occur. To the degree necessary to fund the
non-federal share for the PP-GEMT Program, amounts due to or owed by
applicable Public Entities as a result of the reconciliation may be offset against, or
added to, future transfers as applicable and as determined by DHCS. DHCS may
accept a voluntary contribution to the extent it is able to obtain FFP for PP-GEMT
payments as permitted by federal law.
8. The Public Entity acknowledges that all records of funds transferred are subject
to review and audit upon DHCS’ request. The Public Entity will maintain
documentation supporting the allowable funding source of the IGTs.
9. Upon notice from the federal government of a disallowance or deferral related to
this IGT, the Public Entity responsible for this IGT shall be the entity responsible
for the federal portion of that expenditure.
I hereby declare under penalty of perjury under the law of the United States that the
foregoing is true and correct to the best of my knowledge. I further understand that the
known filing of a false or fraudulent claim, or making false statements in support of a
claim, may violate the Federal False Claims Act or other applicable statute and federal
law and may be punishable thereunder.

ITEM TITLE
Agreement: Approve an Agreement with Soundskilz Inc. to Provide Event Planning Coordination Services for
City Events
Report Number: 23-0326

Department: City Manager
G.C. § 84308: No
Environmental Notice: This activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the California
Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) State Guidelines. Therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section
15060(c)(3) no environmental review is required.
Recommended Action
Adopt a resolution approving an agreement with Soundskilz, Inc. to provide event planning coordination
services for City events through January 30, 2029.
SUMMARY
The City of Chula Vista prioritizes the quality of life of those who live, work, and choose to visit the area.
Special events provide an important opportunity for community building, economic development, and
strengthening the sense of civic pride felt in the City of Chula Vista. In support of offering high quality, highly
accessible special events managed through the City of Chula Vista, staff is recommending approval of an
agreement with Soundskilz, Inc. to provide event planning coordination services for City events.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Director of Development Services has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with CEQA and has
determined that the activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines

(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Thus, no environmental review is

BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
Not applicable
DISCUSSION
Each year, the City of Chula Vista offers a variety of special events to advance its strategic priorities of
fostering community connectedness, economic vitality, and strong and secure neighborhoods. The City hosts
a number of sponsored special events, some of which go back decades and draw tens of thousands of
residents and visitors. These include community events, festivals, parades, block parties, grand openings,
ribbon cuttings, and groundbreakings. The City plans and coordinates the Starlight Parade, HarborFest,
Fourth Fest, and South Bay Earth Day, as well as others that may arise during the year. Some events require
the assistance of an outside firm to assist staff in planning and coordinating needs. To ensure that the City
continues to offer these important events, staff is recommending approval of an agreement with Soundskilz,
Inc. to provide event planning coordination services.
This recommendation follows months of planning and evaluation work by City staff, starting with the
issuance of request for proposals (“RFP”) P06-2024 to Planet Bids on August 4, 2023. The City sought
competitive proposals from event planners and event production companies to plan and coordinate special
events at the City of Chula Vista. The City entered this process with the goal of identifying a consultant or
consultants that could provide on-call event planning services.
The City sought a respondent to complete the following work, among other duties, as part of an agreement:
1. Develop a strategic plan for successfully executing a specific event.
2. Work with the Mayor and/or Councilmembers and City staff to organize, manage fundraising
activities, and secure sponsorships to support event activities.
3. Coordinate with City staff to organize event logistics and an event program. This may include, but
may not be limited to, street closures, inspections, insurance, permits, and other requirements
needed to permit an event.
4. Coordinate with City departments and agencies to secure traffic controls, public safety and/or other
staffing requirements. Departments may include: Police, Fire, Building, Environmental Services,
Recreation, Park Maintenance, Public Works, City Manager, Emergency Medical Services and Risk
Management, Alcohol and Beverage Control (if alcohol is provided for sale), County of San Diego and
other agencies depending on event requirements. Develop a schedule and timeline for all activities
required to execute a successful event.
5. Recommend a budget needed to execute an event and develop sponsorship package ideas and
strategies to meet budget goals.
6. Conduct outreach and coordinate with City staff to secure activities, food, craft, and other
recommended vendors as needed.
7. Secure items (rentals and/or purchases) needed for an event including as needed banners, signage,
audio visual, lighting, stage(s), fencing, tenting, tables, chairs, umbrellas, generators, portable toilets,
hand washing stations, etc.
a. The event planner/production company will be required to secure at least three cost
proposals for any rentals, products, or services over $10,000.
Page 189 of 476
City of Chula Vista - City Council
January 9, 2024 Post Agenda
P a g e | 3
b. Secure all necessary insurance from all production vendors/subcontractors to include the
City of Chula Vista as additionally insured.
8. Attend pre-event planning meetings in-person or via teleconference. Attend any additional internal,
merchant, community and/or City meetings.
9. Sign a City of Chula Vista two-party agreement for these services.
The City received three (3) responses to RFP P06-2024. A selection committee consisting of staff from the
City Manager’s Office, Office of Communications, Office of Sustainability and Finance Department
(Purchasing & Contracting) reviewed and evaluated each proposal for specific qualifications. The committee
ranked the proposals and invited the top two (2) respondents to provide presentations.
Based on the RFP evaluation criteria, staff recommends entering into an agreement with Soundskilz., Inc. for
a term of December 19, 2023 through January 30, 2029 for completion of all required services (See
Attachment 1 – Soundskilz, Inc. Agreement).
City staff concluded that Soundskilz, Inc. was the best choice to deliver event planning coordination services,
based on the company personnel’s combined 75 years of large-scale event design, production and
management experience, as well as the company’s wide range of capabilities, directly relevant experience
and strategic relationships. Also factored into the decision was the proposed cost structure set forth by
Soundskilz, Inc. in the company’s response.
The complete proposal received from Soundskilz, Inc. is provided as Attachment 2 to this item.
The maximum amount to be paid to Soundskilz, Inc. for services performed over a five-year period through
January 30, 2029 shall not exceed $500,000 in consultant fees and an additional $2,000,000 for approved
event expenses.
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 § 87110, et seq.).
Staff is not independently aware, and has not been informed by any City Councilmember, of any other fact
that may constitute a basis for a decision-maker conflict of interest in this matter.
CURRENT-YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
Approval of this resolution will award an agreement with Soundskilz, Inc. for providing event planning
coordination services for City events. Sufficient funds were budgeted in the General Fund for fiscal year 2023-
24 for this expense. There is no additional fiscal impact anticipated as a result of this action.
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
The annual cost for the consultant fees in this agreement is $100,000 per year, funded by the General Fund.
The event expenses are anticipated to be funded by a combination of General Fund monies and donations
and sponsorships. Thes expenses will be considered as part of the annual budget development process in
future years.

OBLIGATORY PROVISIONS
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above recitals, the covenants contained herein, and other
good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which the Parties hereby acknowledge, City and
Consultant hereby agree as follows:
1. SERVICES
1.1 Required Services. Consultant agrees to perform the services, and deliver to City the “Deliverables” (if
any) described in the attached Exhibit A, incorporated into the Agreement by this reference, within the time
frames set forth therein, time being of the essence for this Agreement. The services and/or Deliverables
described in Exhibit A shall be referred to herein as the “Required Services.”
1.2 Reductions in Scope of Work. City may independently, or upon request from Consultant, from time
to time, reduce the Required Services to be performed by the Consultant under this Agreement. Upon doing
so, City and Consultant 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

hereunder shall be performed in accordance with the highest standard of care exercised by members of the
profession currently practicing under similar conditions and in similar locations.
1.5 No Waiver of Standard of Care. Where approval by City is required, it is understood to be conceptual
approval only and does not relieve the Consultant of responsibility for complying with all laws, codes, industry
standards, and liability for damages caused by negligent acts, errors, omissions, noncompliance with industry
standards, or the willful misconduct of the Consultant or its subcontractors.
1.6 Security for Performance. In the event that Exhibit A Section 5 indicates the need for Consultant to

1.10 Term. This Agreement shall commence on the earlier to occur of the Effective Date or Consultant’s
commencement of the Required Services hereunder, and shall terminate, subject to Sections 6.1 and 6.2 of

provisions which expressly survive termination shall remain in effect.

Cathedral City LGBT Days & Taste of Jalisco
Synopsis: Soundskilz was awarded the official City Agency of Record contracts to produce
the 2022 Taste of Jalisco (Feb) and LGBT Days (March) Festivals in Cathedral City, CA,
returning both events to form after a 2- year hiatus due to COVID. In 2023 we produced the
events again, with substantial YOY growth
Taste of Jalisco features a muti-day Carnival, Auto Show, Vendor Festival (40+ craft and
food vendors), community stage and headline live performance in the brand-new Cat City
Amphitheater. LGBT Days features a Live Comedy concert with Del Shores, the annual
Bed Race and Parade, Hot Air PRIDE Balloon Rides, headline concerts with 8x Granny
nominee Lance Bass, O-City and Ryan Cabrera and secured major sponsorships including
2 regional radio networks, Agua Caliente Casinos, The Abbey LA and NBC Palm Springs.

Soundskilz was awarded 2-year extensions of both contracts through 2024, and 50%
budget increases to continue growth of both events by unanimous vote of the City
Council.

B-D. Project Description, Design Concept and Project Budgeting
The RFP requests that we provide an overview of the project concept. As reviewed, it appears
the city is looking for the most qualified firm to help in the execution of their city’s own events.
Soundskilz proposes a model to partner with the city of Chula Vista in a collaborative method.
Our method enables Chula Vista control a d direction of their events, while Soundskilz will
manage all the risk, accounting, details and execution of the events. This saves the city man
hours, and liability while leaving the execution to event professionals.
Page of15 33
Page 231 of 476
City of Chula Vista - City Council
January 9, 2024 Post Agenda
The areas of focus that Soundskilz proposes to cover include but are not limited to:
Event Layout Design
Event Budgeting (Sample Upland Lemon Festival P/L)
Coordination with city departments & staff
Supplier RFPs: Selection, Management, Insurance & Payment
Licensing & Permitting
Marketing & Media Relations
Coordination of programing and Talent Selection
Sponsorship Development, Solicitation and management
Vendor applications and management
Ticketing & Credentials
Public Safety
All of these elements are standard to any large municipal festivals. By allowing an outside
agency to partner with the city, the city will save time, man power and risk. In our
experience, how they are packaged and presented as an overarching “concept” is highly
dependent on numerous variables. For instance, the RFP provides no creative guidelines
other than the mention of an annual spend amount and a list of various events that “could”
take place.
We feel it is critical to note that in our combined 40+ years of professional experience
with municipal clients, we have found that it is nearly impossible to present fully formed
event concepts with actionable, viable production plans, creative design or realistic
budgets without extensive detailed planning time, highly specific input from the client
City, and approvals of key elements which dictate certain parameters of production.
This is simply the reality of production in a municipal setting and particularly for events
that are annual traditions. Where very specific event variables, City codes, community
sentiment, historical precedents, seasonal fluctuations in pricing and political expectations
of elected officials all must be considered. Some examples of key information required to
deliver realistic/actionable plans and budgets, but are not stated in the RFP or Response to
questions, or cannot possibly be accounted for prior to winning the award, include:
City’s financial objective(s) re: event outlays; make a profit, break even or
engage in net expenditures on funded events
City preferences/restrictions over music genres, and expectations for the
Page of16 33

January 9, 2024 Post Agenda
entertainment referenced in the RFP.
Amount of City control/input over event specifics once a concept/scope is
approved including talent selection, event creative, branding, etc.
Municipal code limitations on events in various areas including noise
ordinances, special event permit limitations, turf/lawn damage mitigation,
alcohol laws, etc.
Ability to close roads and analysis of available routes for special events, and
review of associated costs/policies and public safety requirements
barricades, PD overtime, etc)
Mandates to utilize local businesses for preferred bids on goods & services
Max public assembly caps or triggers on attendance which change required
planning and use of City services
Tourism metrics the City may be attempting to achieve to plan local vs
regional marketing and advertising campaigns
City-owned assets (venues, advertising, etc.) and City services that are
available to event producers, including fee schedules and/or fee waivers
Effects of inflation and price indices on costs quoted today versus execution date
If chosen as the most qualified agency to design and execute the list of events on the Cities
behalf, it would be our intent to immediately undertake the process outlined in our Project
Management Approach (below), and work with the City to achieve meaningful, realistic
decisions on event specifics and develop detailed, accurate budgets for consideration and
approval.
We would estimate a planning process of 30-60 days after award to finalize specific
details of the event and deliver an accurate version 1 of the project budget for
consideration. Without a detailed deep dive into the above-referenced topics and more,
there is simply no feasible way to deliver an accurate, achievable (or even community-
informed) project concept and budget beyond the basic description already listed in the
IFB.

Project Management Approach/Methodology
We have refined a unique and proven approach to municipal engagements over the
years, centered around key research into historical data, planning milestones and
execution steps. Our key steps to any successful event include:
1.Conduct a review of prior event executions in the City, to determine
successful best practices and identify past execution problems, any potential
liability issues, and any history of commercial disruption issues/complaints
with neighboring businesses.
2.Conduct informal surveys and/or 1:1 interviews with previous vendors,
sponsors, City stakeholders, local Chamber and Tourism entities, etc. to gauge
their direct experience with prior local events and solicit recommendations for
future improvement and measure community sentiment and awareness.
3.Analyze tourism trends, hotel/bed inventory, parking/transportation options
and other key travel- based metrics to determine how best to position,
market and program the event to maximize reach and draw. Establish a
specific network of tourism/travel-related partners and assets that can be
activated on a scalable basis to promote and service the event.
4.In collaboration with the City, review all vendor and commercial rules &
regulations, and set up appropriate licensing protocols for on-site event vendors
to ensure compliance across all participants and activities. This step also
encompasses initial setup of our online Vendor Portal for applicants via the
LENND platform
5.Analyze existing City-owned digital/online assets, and with our in-house
digital agency team integrate official event sites and social channels (and/or
create new channels for same) to streamline event functions and maximize data
capture value/opportunity. This includes websites, social channels, participant/
vendor application processes, required document management, FAQ’s,
ticketing functions (if necessary), help desk (email) using our standardized
suite of platforms, including WebConnex, LENND, CMS frameworks and
back-end business advertising tools.
6.Propose an initial pro-forma built out with all expenses and potential revenue
scenarios for the city’s review and approval.
Page of19 33
Page 235 of 476
City of Chula Vista - City Council
January 9, 2024 Post Agenda
7.In conjunction with the pro-forma, develop and initial site plan/layout and
timeline for the event. The budget, timeline and site plan must be built in
conjunction with one another; as no one product lives in a vacuum. A change
to one item will cause a change to another.
8.Set-up weekly staff meetings and individual departmental staff meetings.
Below is an example of what previous events require for our department leads.
120-90 days prior department heads will be working about 6-8 hours per
week
60-90 days prior department heads will be working about 10 hours per
week
30-60 days prior 15 hour per week
5-30 days prior department leads will be working about 20 hours per week
Build, Run of Show & Post Event department leads could be working
about 15 hours per day.
9.Coordinate with City to identify all appropriate City-owned advertising and
sponsorship assets and clear them for usage – signage such as light poles,
OOH locations, digital billboards, kiosk advertising, etc. and activation
opportunities such as experiential buildouts, concession exclusivity, venue
naming rights, etc. - and ensure the permit process is vetted and known for
each specific use- case.
10.Develop high quality print and digital sponsorship presentations and
event-specific advertising materials to promote the event alongside City
advertising campaigns.
11.Develop service-specific RFPs and conduct competitive bid processes for best-
in-class vendors, with an eye towards prioritizing local merchants and service
providers to keep the spending within the local community, as well as observing
any City-preferred HUB/MBE/LBE policies. Additionally deploy sponsorship
sales teams at local, regional and national levels to pitch our 20+ year network
of commercial partners in multiple markets.
12.Develop new and/or expanded integrated marketing and PR campaigns to
simultaneously promote the event and the City to grow reach, commercial
opportunities and media coverage. Special emphasis will be placed on digital
media and technologies, regional media partners, influencer relationships
Page of20 33
Page 236 of 476
City of Chula Vista - City Council
January 9, 2024 Post Agenda
particularly local/regional talent) and strategic relationships with key brand
partners.
13.Manage the ongoing planning and fulfillment of the event requirements up
through the actual event date and post-event recap period.
14.Provide the City with a full post-event review, best practices report,
media/PR recap with clips/content/statistics and recommendations
for future years and best practices.
This methodology has been honed and refined over numerous municipal event
throughout the country. The result of these productions has repeatedly proven to
deliver growth in multiple key metrics at our newly awarded/contracted events,
including audience reach, engagement metrics, sponsorship dollars secured and
earned media results for the host City and stakeholders.
Additional Event Deliverables Per Event
Based upon each events needs we take additional steps in planning and executing
successful events with our municipal partners. These may include:
Talent Booking
Upon review of events, we develop target lists of performers and live acts
with consistent local awareness/reputation (such as the top “bar bands”
and club DJs at the most popular local venues). Along with regional/
national artists who have successfully toured the area. All acts are vetted
to also meet the genre-specific needs of each specific event.
Once a target list of artists is agreed/approved with the City, we begin
negotiating offers through our talent contacts and direct with artists. Talent
buying is much the same as buying a home. There are two sides. It is
important to know certain things that could cost a buyer a lot of money
after the contract is signed. This is one of our specialities.
Objective is to typically secure lineups for events 90-120 days before the event
date
Marketing & Event Communications
Appraisal of existing online assets, and rollout of websites and social
media channels (FB, IG, TikTok) for events
Create a paid online media campaign per-event to attract authentic,

January 9, 2024 Post Agenda
segment-targeted audiences focusing on tourists/visitors, regional
awareness and in key geo-targets for the City as defined in local CVB/
Tourism Dept guidelines.
Develop a content posting schedule led by our dedicated social manager, to
include:
o Save The Date announcements
o highlighting “greatest hits” content from prior year events (if applicable)
o influencer engagements and cross-posting
o online polls and contests for the local community to raise awareness
Assessment of City tourism marketing efforts and how to cross-
promote and amplify the campaign vis-à-vis specific events
Appraisal of local radio, travel guide and CVB/Tourism agency assets/
channels we can use to promote
Local signage, flyer/poster and print campaign resources
Direct outreach to all local businesses to pitch B2B vendor opportunities
and advertising assets during the event (banners, signage, booths), and to
create internal promotion incentives to secure storefront signage for event
posters, email blasts to their customer databases, etc.
Food & Beverage
We have extensive experience managing F&B operations at large-scale
events and understand the critical importance of an effective hospitality
management program. The contribution of F&B revenues to the bottom
line, concerns of alcohol liability and the relevance to the customer
experience at points of service are all critical factors in the success of any
event.
Through our Vendor Coordinator we conduct an extensive campaign
to recruit top local food vendors to set up during events and provide
a wide-ranging culinary experience (when applicable)
On an event-specific basis, and after a thorough review of the venues’
available infrastructure (power, water, concession locations, etc.), we
propose an ideal mix of food operators and effective food management
plan to maximize revenues and provide relevant and high-quality
experiences to attendees.
Furthermore, our vendor onboarding protocols and onsite management
ensure 100% health code compliance at each event and seamless auditing
for revenue management.
Page of22 33
Page 238 of 476
City of Chula Vista - City Council
January 9, 2024 Post Agenda
We request alcohol policy-specific meetings with the City to discuss local
laws, protocols, liability concerns and licensing options before determining
any event-specific plan(s). Options on a per-event basis include awarding
a third-party alcohol licensee a management contract for alcohol
concessions, or to secure an event-specific license in partnership with a
local non-profit – and thereby manage all alcohol operations “in-house.”
Production & Administrative Services
Soundskilz is a full-service live event production company, specializing in
360-degree event planning and management at venues from raw spaces to
fully built halls and arenas. We own, and can provide our own staging,
audio, LED and AV to events where appropriate.
When we contract with a city municipal client, our agency fee is transparent
and along with our costs to our contractors. We subcontracted services on a
per-event basis at no cost mark up. These services would typically include
the following rental services and labor providers:
o Fencing and barricades
o Canopy tents for vendors (fire-rated)
o External generators and power service (25 kVA and above)
o Licensed and bonded security personnel (crowd control and backstage)
o Porta-potties and janitorial services
Our in-house accounting team operates on site during all events,
managing all cash handling, revenue collections, F&B daily audits,
expense disbursements and HR-related tasks such as signing in/out shift
employees and day labor. This enables quick and efficient settlement of
our events and a professional back-office presence for handling employee
issues during event production.
At each event, we maintain/operate a General Services Help Desk/
Information booth for attendees staffed by full-time production team
members and volunteer staff. This enables us to provide real-time
customer service across multiple areas, from refund requests to first aid to
general inquiries and more, and ensure a high level of public facing
customer service which also provides us constant feedback and insights
into the event itself for future review.
Public Safety, Regulations & Permits
Page of23 33
Page 239 of 476
City of Chula Vista - City Council
January 9, 2024 Post Agenda
Soundskilz has extensive experience working with every level of government
agency to ensure smooth, safe and legal execution of every element of event
activities. Public Safety is a paramount concern at every event we produce, large
or small, and we proudly point to our 100% safety record at every major event we
have produced – including those that have featured commercial alcohol
promotions and even cannabis consumption. Our experience includes having
worked on event protocols, permitting and activation specifics with:
US Secret Service
US Federal Marshals Service
US Dept of Homeland Security
FAA
Chicago Dept of Aviation
CA Dept of Food & Agriculture
CA ABC and alcohol agency equivalent in 7 other US states
CA District Agricultural Associations (multiple)
CA Bureau of Cannabis Control
County and State health departments nationwide
State, county and local police forces
City Fire Departments
City and County Councils / Boards
and more…
Our team is highly experienced in researching all applicable legal requirements and
ensuring that all activities are properly licensed, insured and operated within all
applicable code requirements. We pride ourselves on our risk mitigation policies
and planning skills, and work collaboratively with all government stakeholders in
our events to ensure safety, compliance and fulfillment of all necessary obligations
months and weeks in advance of every event. This conduct extends to our vendors
and subcontractors, all of whom are given comprehensive pre-production guidelines
and all necessary permit materials that must be completed before they commence
activation on a Soundskilz job or event site.
We expect to work closely with City Staff and departments to conduct pre-event
public safety meetings and develop Emergency Action Plan(s) as required for each
activation. In addition, we shall highlight all necessary permits and required code
compliance months in advance of the event to our vendors, suppliers and
Page of24 33
Page 240 of 476
City of Chula Vista - City Council
January 9, 2024 Post Agenda
subcontractors, and will use our technology-based event platforms to provide
constant monitoring of required filings, permits and approvals through every step
of the production process.
Volunteer Groups & Charity Experience
Through over 100 of our smaller event productions and in virtually every major
festival, the Soundskilz team has extensive experience integrating volunteer
groups and non-profits, NGOs and other similar organizations. We work with
local NPOs to determine opportunities for volunteer staff, discounted or free booth
space and cross-promotional campaigns to help them spread their message and
campaign drives.
Some examples include:
Our standard practice of creating a non-profit “Community Corner”
vendor program at every applicable festival, with substantially reduced
or zero-cost pricing for NPOs and community organizations to set up
vendor experiences/booths and engage the local community; we
dedicate a portion of our ad spending and onsite branding/signage to
promote these initiatives at each event

ticket sales, and a 5K fun run for thousands of entrants. Volunteer groups
received donations from the event budget for their contributions.
Collaboration Model
We value collaboration with multiple event stakeholders in every event we produce
and in municipal events such as contemplated in this RFP, cooperation and
communication among many parties is paramount to success.
Through our upfront survey process of prior stakeholders and participants,
we allow people to be heard, gain wisdom from their own firsthand
experiences with local events, and help shape best practices and YOY
proposals that can only improve the experience and reputation of the events
that take place in the City
We typically conduct monthly and then weekly event status calls and/or in-

City of Chula Vista - City Council
January 9, 2024 Post Agenda
person meetings as event dates approach. As well, we remain available for
on-demand meetings for urgent or timely event requirements as needed/
Our key subcontractor personnel are welcome and invited on team calls
and specific issue meetings, to ensure that all parties responsible for
execution of critical path elements are “part of the conversation” that
affects their performance and deliverables/scope of work. Key decisions
are therefore able to be informed by the experts in each department or
service that needs to be addressed, and things do not get lost in translation
or layers of management.
We maintain dedicated email accounts for each event (for example,
festival@, vendor@, siteops@, publicity@, accounting@ ) that give
partners direct lines of communication to our executives and department
teams for prompt routing and response to questions and concerns.
We utilize advanced team collaboration tools, including ASANA, Slack and
others that can be opened to each stakeholder in the event who needs to
interact with our direct planning schedules, document repositories and
internal chat threads about specific event planning issues.
Through this approach, we have successfully executed large scale events
involving government officials, corporate partners, publicity/media teams,
technical production units, vendors, suppliers, sponsors and more in a unified
system with minimal friction and quick access to answers and solutions at
every step of the event production and planning process.
Company Philosophy: “We live for creating memorable moments"
At Soundskilz, our philosophy revolves around creating unforgettable live events that
bring communities together and leave a lasting positive impact. As an event company
specializing in producing live experiences for city municipal clients, we understand the
profound influence these gatherings have on the social fabric of a community. Our
philosophy is rooted in four core principles:
1. Community-Centric Approach:
We believe that every event is an opportunity to foster unity and celebrate the diverse
tapestry of a city. Our approach is deeply embedded in understanding the unique
characteristics, traditions, and aspirations of each community we serve. By
collaborating closely with our municipal clients and involving local stakeholders, we
ensure that our events resonate authentically with the people they are meant to inspire.

City of Chula Vista - City Council
January 9, 2024 Post Agenda
2. Creativity and Innovation:
We see every event as a blank canvas, waiting to be transformed into a masterpiece
of creativity. Our philosophy encourages us to push the boundaries of conventional
event planning, exploring innovative concepts and technologies that elevate the
experience to new heights. By seamlessly blending artistry and technology, we craft
events that surprise, delight, and engage attendees in ways they never imagined.
3. Exceptional Execution:
A great idea can only truly shine when executed flawlessly. Our philosophy hinges on
meticulous planning, attention to detail, and a relentless pursuit of perfection. From
the initial conceptualization to the final applause, we leave no stone unturned to
ensure that every aspect of the event aligns with our client's vision and exceeds their
expectations.
4. Sustainability and Social Responsibility:
We understand that the impact of our events goes beyond the immediate spectacle.
Our philosophy embraces environmental stewardship and social responsibility.
Through sustainable event practices, we minimize our ecological footprint while
leaving a positive mark on the community. We engage with local businesses, promote
inclusivity, and actively seek ways to give back, leaving behind a legacy of goodwill.
5. Collaborative Partnership:
Our philosophy extends to building strong and enduring partnerships. We view our
municipal clients not just as customers, but as partners in our journey to create
transformative experiences. We foster open communication, mutual respect, and a
shared dedication to bringing the vision to life. By working hand-in-hand, we forge
relationships that withstand the test of time.
At Soundskilz, our events are more than mere gatherings; they are milestones that
mark the evolution of cities and their residents. With our unwavering commitment to
community, innovation, execution, sustainability, and partnership, we strive to weave
the threads of memorable moments that leave a lasting impact on hearts and minds.
Agency Fee Discussion for Comprehensive City Municipal Event Management
Our fee structure is designed to provide transparent pricing while accommodating
the unique needs of each event. We offer competitive rates that reflect the depth of
our expertise and the quality of our services. In our experience, we have seen many
different ways of operating financially in the context of a municipal services
contract – and these are most often (and necessarily) determined by specific
financial conditions set forth by the City. The factors that must be considered in any
Fee Proposal for this RFP include, but are not limited to:
Page of27 33
Page 243 of 476
City of Chula Vista - City Council
January 9, 2024 Post Agenda
City Budget expectations and fiscal year approved funds for the event
Quantity of events produced per year
Level of talent desired and total talent budget allocated for the event
City funds for general tourism, advertising and promotional campaigns
which may or may not offset event advertising costs
Mandate of event to drive bottom line revenue gains, break even or operate as
loss leader
Known costs for mandatory and specific services required from the
City based on approved scope
Ability of City to waive specific fees or provide in-kind services and
assets such as venues, power, water, Fire, PD, Public Works, OOH
advertising assets, etc.
Inflationary outlook for the event window which is 6+ months away
Without having a significantly deeper discussion with the City to ascertain the
above data points, and those outlined in the paragraphs above, it is not possible to
propose a straightforward fee schedule.
We are able to outline two practical scenarios around which a financial
arrangement can be modeled if we are awarded the contract. These models have
been proven successful in our prior arrangements with other municipalities, and
we remain open and willing to discuss and/or negotiate specific terms during a
final round interview with the City to clarify a final Fee Proposal amenable to the
parties.
SCENARIO A. Fee for Services
City to pay Soundskilz a fee for services, to be determined against an
approved final plan of specific activities with all scope of work, expected
outcomes and all material details known and articulated in a Production
Services Agreement
The fee would take the form of a single fee for the entire scope of work,
based on a flat fee or a combination of fee + blended agency rate for
hourly billing of specific services
The City would assume 100% of the financial obligations for the
events and must allocate budgets to the approved plan
SCENARIO B. Revenue/Profit Sharing
Soundskilz can agree to a lower agency fee guarantee and/or waiver of hourly rate
Page of28 33
Page 244 of 476
City of Chula Vista - City Council
January 9, 2024 Post Agenda
billings if it is able to participate in revenue sharing across applicable streams – such as
F&B vendors, operating the bar as the licensee, ticketing, parking, sponsorship and
more.
We understand that each municipality's budget and requirements can vary. Our
proposal is crafted with the flexibility to tailor our services to your specific needs,
ensuring that you receive exactly what you need while maximizing the impact of
every dollar spent. Both models have been proven to be historically successful in
our direct experience and can be modified and/or combined in various ways to
match the objectives of the City once they are more fully understood. It is our
expectation and hope to discuss those objectives with the City if selected as a
finalist for the RFP.
Our fee proposal is not just about monetary investment; it's a commitment to
delivering unmatched value. With a proven track record of successful municipal
events and a deep understanding of your city's unique dynamics, we're confident in
our ability to exceed expectations and provide a return on investment that extends
far beyond the event itself.
E. Project Team
Please refer to Page 7, above, under Organization Chart, for an overview of our project team
and biographies.
In addition to our project team, we would intend to subcontract KASTL AMUSEMENTS,
an Arizona-based Carnival operator, to manage and deliver the required carnival services
once final event details are confirmed with the City.
F. Time Frame
As stated above, we would estimate an initial planning process of 30-60 days after award
to finalize specific details of the event and deliver an accurate version 1 of the project
budget for consideration. This would encompass the initial phases of the Project
Management Approach outlined above.
Additional project benchmarks that we would anticipate include:
Talent Offers: 90-120 days prior to event
Talent Announce & Ticket Sales: 45-90 days prior to event
Page of29 33
Page 245 of 476
City of Chula Vista - City Council
January 9, 2024 Post Agenda
Social Media Tease: within 30-45 days of Award
Advertising Campaign Tease: 90-120 days prior to event
Advertising Campaign (full): 60-90 days prior to event
Call for Retail and F&B Vendors: within 30-45 days of Award (including live
applications)
Other key benchmarks such as final venue layout, permits, public safety plan, power/
sanitation supplier RFPs, etc will be dependent on the required City inputs and subject to
City guidelines and internal timelines.
As we own all the requisite stages, lighting and sound needed for the event, there would be
no need for a hard date to secure those subcontractors/suppliers.

G. Executive Summary
We firmly believe that our years of responsible and successful event planning with
municipalities – both large and small - have uniquely qualified us for success in
this RFP. Our track record and our references will bear this out.
We operate in multiple different states. Do not let the corporate headquarters
worry you. This year alone, we have worked with or produced events in:
Arizona, Washington, Idaho, Utah, Nevada, California and Texas. We have just
been approved as a vendor for Seminole Tribe in Florida for their upcoming
festivals along with negotiating a contract with Williamsburg Virginia. We
pledge to be attentive and responsive to the local City of Buckeye needs.
As the proposal content above demonstrates, we have the requisite experience to
help guide the City of Buckeye to create a truly unique, memorable and
successfully manage their community events for which the city can be proud.
We believe that a successful plan to create and execute this event, while
considering community interests and all the logistical and planning realities,
will require a detailed research and discussion process before a final concept,
creative design and realistic budget can be presented for adoption and approval.
We also believe that the city may not choose or need 100% of our offerings.
Soundskilz is willing to consult or work on toward a more specific scope of work
if the city so chooses. This could be full scope production, just talent booking,
vendor management or just staging and audio.
If chosen as the most qualified agency to meet the City’s needs we are ready,
willing and able to engage the City immediately in that process as part of
negotiating an initial agreement for services.
Upon completion of the requisite research and discussion process, we can flexibly
adapt our fee scenario to meet the City’s objectives and provide the best service at
the best price. We have the financial means to manage the event’s upfront costs
and the interest in an incentive-laden fee structure if that is the best option for the
City’s budget

ITEM TITLE
Purchase Agreement: Approve the Purchase of Police Vehicles from Sedano Ford and Bob Stall Chevrolet
Report Number: 24-0011
Location: No specific geographic location
Department: Police
G.C. § 84308: No
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 resolutions: A) authorizing the purchase of up to 25 Ford Interceptor Utility Hybrid Vehicles from
Sedano Ford, and B) authorizing the purchase of 10 Chevrolet Blazer 9C1 Police Package Vehicles from Bob
Stall Chevrolet.
SUMMARY
On November 6, 2023, the City of Chula Vista issued two Requests for Bids (RFB) for up to twenty-five (25)
Ford Interceptor Utility Hybrid vehicles and ten (10) Chevrolet Blazer 9C1 Police Package vehicles for the
Police Department. As a result of the bid process, the City is recommending to purchase the vehicles from
Sedano Ford and Bob Stall Chevrolet.
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
The Citizens’ Oversight Committees for both Measure P and Measure A recommended City Council approval
of funding police vehicles, as outlined in the City Infrastructure, Facilities and Equipment and Public Safety
expenditure plans for Measure P and Measure A, respectively.
DISCUSSION
In March 2023, City Council approved a Shared Assigned Vehicle Proposal for the Police Department, which
authorized the department to purchase an additional twenty (20) patrol vehicles to expand the existing
patrol fleet using Measure A funds. An additional ten (10) patrol vehicles are scheduled for replacement using
Measure P funds. Although each respective Citizens’ Oversight Committee approved police vehicle purchases
in the Measure A and Measure P spending plans, the Police Department has not been able to purchase these
vehicles due to Ford vehicle production delays. Issues such as semiconductor chip shortages and shipping
problems have affected the ability of manufacturers like Ford to keep their production lines going over the
last three years. As such, all of the brand’s vehicles are currently experiencing some delays. Overall, the
average wait time for a Ford is currently estimated at 188 days, as compared to 94 days in January 2022.
Because of vehicle production delays, the Police Department expanded its patrol vehicle model options to
Ford Interceptors and Chevrolet Blazers. As a result of recent Request for Bid (RFB) processes, the Police
Department is requesting approval to purchase twenty (20) Ford Police Interceptor Utility Hybrid vehicles
and ten (10) Chevrolet Blazer 9C1 Police Package vehicles for its patrol fleet. The Chevrolet Blazer vehicles
are anticipated to be received in the current fiscal year; however, the Ford Interceptor vehicles won’t be
received until next fiscal year.
Request For Bid (RFB) # B14-2024 – Ford Interceptor Utility Vehicle
On November 6, 2023, the City of Chula Vista issued RFB # B14-2024 for ten to twenty-five (10-25) 2025
Ford Police Interceptor Utility Hybrid vehicles for the Police Department. As a result of the bid process, the
City is recommending the selection of Sedano Ford to purchase the vehicles.
During the bid process, 154 vendors were notified of the opportunity. The following three bids were
received:
Vendor Item Description Unit Cost
Desert Auto Group V, LLC 2025 Ford Interceptor Utility Hybrid Vehicle $71,666.13
Fritts Ford 2025 Ford Interceptor Utility Hybrid Vehicle $58,581.13
Sedano Ford 2025 Ford Interceptor Utility Hybrid Vehicle $58,171.89
The price offered by Sedano Ford, which is lowest of the three bids, appears competitive for current market
conditions and with past pricing.
Request For Bid (RFB) # B15-2024 – Chevrolet Blazer 9C1 Police Package Vehicle
On November 6, 2023, the City of Chula Vista issued RFB # B15-2024 for ten (10) 2024 Chevrolet Blazer
Model 9C1 Police Package vehicles for the Police Department. As a result of the bid process, the City is
recommending the selection of Bob Stall Chevrolet to purchase the vehicles.

During the bid process, 154 vendors were notified of the opportunity. The following two bids were received:
Vendor Item Description Unit Cost
Bob Stall Chevrolet 2024 Chevrolet Blazer 9C1 Police Package Vehicle $67,841.56
Courtesy Chevrolet Center 2024 Chevrolet Blazer 9C1 Police Package Vehicle $69,637.83
The price offered by Bob Stall Chevrolet, which is lower of the two bids, appears competitive for current
market conditions. Additionally, these vehicles are expected to be received prior to the Ford vehicles.
DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and has determined that it is not site-specific and
consequently, the 500-foot rule found in California Code of Regulations Title 2, section 18702.2(a)(11), is not
applicable to this decision for purposes of determining a disqualifying real property-related financial conflict
of interest under the Political Reform Act (Cal. Gov't Code § 87100, et seq.).
Staff is not independently aware and has not been informed by any City Council member of any other fact
that may constitute a basis for a decision maker conflict of interest in this matter.
CURRENT-YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
The $678,416 cost of the 10 Chevrolet Blazer 9C1 Police Package Vehicles is already included in the Public
Safety Expenditure Plan (Measure A funding) for fiscal year 2023-24. Approval of this resolution has no net
current-year fiscal impact to the General Fund or the Measure A Fund.
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
Because of vehicle production delays, the purchase of the 20 Ford vehicles will occur next fiscal year. The
$1,163,438 cost of the 20 Ford Interceptor Utility Hybrid Vehicles will be rolled over to the City’s
Infrastructure, Facilities and Equipment expenditure plan (Measure P funding) and Public Safety
Expenditure Plan (Measure A funding) for fiscal year 2024-25. Approval of this resolution will direct staff to
include this vehicle cost in the fiscal year 2024-25 budget. Although 20 Ford vehicles are currently requested
for purchase at this time, the resolution will allow the Police Department to purchase another five vehicles
at the $58,171.89 bid amount during a later time, due to unanticipated vehicle replacement (inoperable or
involved in a collision).
The ongoing fiscal impact from maintenance and fuel costs will be considered as part of the annual budget
development process.

ITEM TITLE
Grant Award and Appropriation: Accept Roy and Marian Holleman Foundation Grant to Renew Animal Care
Resources and Appropriate Funds
Report Number: 24-0008
Location: No specific geographic location
Department: Animal Services
G.C. § 84308: No
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 accepting $33,200 in grant funds from the Roy and Marian Holleman Foundation to
provide animal care improvements at the Animal Care Facility and provide community resources aimed to
prevent surrender and appropriating funds for that purpose. (4/5 Vote Required)
SUMMARY
The Animal Care Facility has received a grant award from the Roy and Marian Holleman Foundation in the
amount of $33,200 to provide animal care improvements at the Animal Care Facility and provide community
resources aimed to prevent surrender. The funds are designated to repair and replace Kuranda dog beds;
repair interaction/play yard turf; aid in increasing exits for hard-to-place animals; and provide
vaccination/microchip and spay and neuter services to the community. Staff requests that grant funds
totaling $33,200 be appropriated to the Other Expenses category in the Other Grants Fund.
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.

Not applicable
DISCUSSION
The Animal Care Facility has received a grant award from the Roy and Marian Holleman Foundation in the
amount of $33,200 to provide various improvements at the Animal Care Facility and provide community
resources aimed to prevent animal surrender. The funds are designated to repair and replace Kuranda dog
beds and repair interaction/play yard turf heavily used by a high volume of dogs with extended stays
following CoVID-19. Since Fall 2021, Animal Services has seen an increase in large dog intakes and a decrease
in adoptions and reunification of animals with their owners. The grant provides funds to assist hard-to-place
animals and rescues who need continued care in purchasing special diets, supplies, etc. Funds are also
designated to provide vaccination/microchip and spay and neuter services to the community who are often
unable to afford such services, which has been found to result in increased surrender or abandonment. Rising
costs in veterinary care and decreases in disposable income has resulted in a decrease in pet owners’ ability
to spay or neuter their animals, resulting in increased unexpected litters and increases in preventable
diseases which are expensive to treat. Staff requests that $33,200 be appropriated to the Other Expenses
category in the Other Grants Fund; this appropriation is fully offset by grant revenues.
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
Approval of the resolution accepts a grant award from the Roy and Marian Holleman Foundation in the
amount of $33,200 and amends the fiscal year 2023-24 budget by appropriating $33,200 to the Other
Expenses category in the Other Grants Fund. There is no fiscal impact as a result of this action as the grant
funds will completely offset the costs.
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
There is no ongoing fiscal impact as a result of accepting these grant funds.

*36,033 rental units (*Staff supplied data) with massive
$5,000.00 daily fines.
The simple task of modifying the verbiage of the TPO in
order to reduce a Landlord’s need to drastically raise rents
can easily be accomplished with an addition of the following
clause: “Notice to cure must first be given before an
administrative citation or civil penalty may be issued”.
Upon warning, the vast majority of individuals will gladly
come into compliance, while the few unscrupulous Tenants
and Landlords will attempt to circumvent the law.
An added bonus of such a notification procedure is that
a warning simplifies the process of identifying and levying
fines against “Bad Actors”.
I believe our city attorney will confirm that it is possible
to warn noncompliant individuals and still be in alignment
with California’s new TPO mandates. What is your opinion?
Please get back to me as soon as possible. I look forward to
your guidance.
Thank you so much for all your diligent work in this
mater. Wishing you a Blessed New Year.

Political lawsuits stir up Chula Vista City Council election helped a resident
sue her political opponents by connecting her with a lawyer
BY GUSTAVO SOLIS
JAN. 27, 2020 8:51 AM PT
CHULA VISTA —
Chula Vista’s City Council election took an odd turn last month when one
candidate helped a resident sue her political opponents.
Dafne Ariza, who graduated from Chula Vista High School in 2018, sued
incumbent Councilman Mike Diaz and candidate Delfina Gonzalez in
December over alleged misrepresentations on their candidate statements. A
judge later dismissed both lawsuits.
Before filing the lawsuits, Ariza asked her long-time friend and current City
Council candidate Andrea Cardenas for help.

ITEM TITLE
Harborside Park: Amend the Fiscal Year 2023-24 Capital Improvement Program Budget, Allocate Measure P
Funds, and Waive Fees
Report Number: 24-0030
Location: Harborside Park – 670 Oxford Street
Department: City Manager
G.C. § 84308: No
Environmental Notice: The Project qualifies for a Categorical Exemption pursuant to the California
Environmental Quality Act State Guidelines Section 15301 Class 1 (Existing Facilities), Section 15303 Class
3 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures), and Section 153 04 Class 4 (Minor Alterations to
Land).
Recommended Action
Adopt a resolution 1) amending the fiscal year 2023-24 capital improvement program budget by establishing
new CIP Project, PRK0344 “Harborside Park Renovations” and appropriating funds therefor; and (2)
amending the Measure P Infrastructure, Facilities, and Equipment Expenditure Plan to allocate
approximately $1,250,000 in unallocated revenue; (4/5 Vote Required).
SUMMARY
On August 23, 2022, City Council Resolution No. 2022-203 authorized the temporary closure of Harborside
Park in order to allow staff time to address health and safety concerns due to illegal activities being
conducted at the park. On December 12, 2023, Council directed staff to return on January 9, 2023, with a plan
to reopen Harborside Park. City staff is requesting funding to proceed with initial improvements (“Phase 1”)

park.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Director of Development Services has reviewed the proposed project for compliance with the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the project qualifies for a Categorical Exemption
pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 Class 1 (Existing Facilities), Section 15303 Class 3 (New
Construction or Conversion of Small Structures), and Section 15304 Class 4 (Minor Alterations to Land)
because the proposed actions 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.
BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
This action will be included in an updated Infrastructure, Facilities, and Equipment Expenditure Plan being
presented to the Measure P Citizens Oversite Committee at their regularly scheduled January 25, 2024,
meeting.
DISCUSSION
Background
On August 23, 2022, City Council Resolution No. 2022-203 authorized the temporary closure of Harborside
Park in order to allow staff time to address health and safety concerns due to illegal activities being
conducted at the park. During the closure, staff worked with the community to consider long-term options
for the park site and staff provided the results of such efforts and opportunities identified by the community
to City Council on May 16, 2023, and December 12, 2023, including an initial improvement plan (“Phase 1”).
On December 12, 2023, Council directed staff to return on January 9, 2023, with an implementation plan for
the Phase 1 reopening Harborside Park. It is anticipated Phase 1 improvements will be completed and the
park will reopen in approximately eight months.
Phase 1
Phase 1 of reopening Harborside Park will consist of the following improvements: (1) permanent fencing;
(2) turf replacement and repair to the irrigation system; (3) basketball court resurfacing; (4) lighting and
security camera repairs; (5) restroom facility repairs; (6) general clean-up; (7) removal of the amphitheater
and landscape at the southern portion of the site; and (8) purchase and installation of a ranger station that
would be staffed during future park opening hours, as illustrated in the following image.
Page 280 of 476
City of Chula Vista - City Council
January 9, 2024 Post Agenda
P a g e | 3
Additionally, City Council directed staff to waive associated facility rental fees for the use of sports fields and
any other amenities to incentivize activation of the park upon reopening. The City’s Master Fee Schedule
allows any person to request a fee waiver. Any such request is to be considered by the Waiving Authority,
which is he City Managerfor waiver requests for amounts up to the greater of $7,500 or 25% of the fee
imposed, per year, and the City Council for requests in excess of that amount. The Master Fee Schedule
further provides that, in order to grant a waiver request, the Waiving Authority must make certain findings
and issue a notice of decision. In response to the City Council’s direction to waive facility rental fees, City staff
is reviewing these waiver requirements and will be bringing a proposed amendment to the Master Fee
Schedule forward prior to the park reopening for City Council consideration.
The proposed resolution establishes CIP PRK0344 Harborside Park Renovation and appropriates Measure P
funds in the amount of $1,250,000 to the new project, .
Hours of Operation
A community survey completed by the City found that with Phase 1 improvements, people are most likely to
use the park after school and on weekends. Upon opening it is anticipated that the park will be open on
weekdays from 3:00 pm to 7:00 pm and on weekends from 10:00 am to 7:00 pm. After opening staff may
modify hours of the park based on the utilization and desired access by the community.
Staffing
The staffing plan for Harborside Park is designed to provide hourly Park Ranger coverage for all hours of
operation.

City of Chula Vista - City Council
January 9, 2024 Post Agenda
P a g e | 4
Future Phases
Phases 2 will focus on outdoor amenities. Survey results showed the highest-sought amenities included an
outdoor gym similar to the Norman Park Senior Center, additional sports field areas, tot lot, enhancements
to the walking trail, and fruit and shade trees.
Phase 3 would include the community’s ultimate goal of incorporating a community center on the site. Such
a facility will require a master-planning effort and future City Council actions.
Staff continues to pursue grant funding for Phases 2 and 3.
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
Approval of the resolution amends the Measure P Infrastructure, Facilities, and Equipment Expenditure Plan
and amends the fiscal year 2023-24 Capital Improvement Projects Program budget by appropriating
$1,250,000 from the Measure P Sales Tax Fund to cover the additional project and staff costs associated with
Project # PRK0344 (Harborside Park Renovation).
As an existing park, the operation and maintenance of the existing amenities are included in the current
Public Works Department General Fund budget.
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
Staffing costs for Park Rangers of approximately $66,000 will be incorporated into the Public Works fiscal
year 2024-25 budget for staffing at Harborside Park.

We make it very clear that we don't tolerate encampments along our sidewalks, and we
don't tolerate other code violations such as being drunk in public or urinating in public or
defecating in public,' Mayor Bailey said. 'We just simply don't tolerate these basic code
violations. What ends up happening is an individual either chooses to get help or they end up
leaving.' The city leader went on to add that contributing to the ongoing homeless crisis -
especially in California - are progressive leaders' failure to hold willingly homeless citizens
accountable for their life choices.'The fact of the matter is there, although there are a myriad of
reasons that people end up homeless, they eventually only fall into two camps — those that
want help and those that do not want help,' Bailey said. 'And if those that are refusing to get
help… shouldn't be granted additional the ability to break laws such as tent encampments on
the sidewalk or urinating or defecating in public.' "

ITEM TITLE
Welcoming America: Receive a Presentation on Welcoming America’s Certified Welcoming Program and
Provide Formal Direction to Staff
Report Number: 24-0028
Location: No specific geographic location
Department: City Manager
G.C. § 84308: Yes
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
Staff requests that Council take a formal vote to provide direction to staff to proceed with Welcoming City
recertification.
SUMMARY
At the May 23, 2023 Council meeting, the City Council made a referral to the City Manager to pursue a
Welcoming City recertification through Welcoming America. “Certified Welcoming” is the formal designation
bestowed upon local governments that meet the Welcoming Standard after an audit of policies and programs
for an agency’s efforts including and welcoming immigrants in all areas of civic, social, and economic life in
their communities.
Staff is returning to Council to provide additional information about Certified Welcoming City status and
receive formal direction.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Director of Development Services has reviewed the proposed activity 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
Page 333 of 476

January 9, 2024 Post Agenda
P a g e | 2
environment. Therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, the activity is not
subject to CEQA.
BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
Human Relations Commission voted in support of Welcoming City recertification.
DISCUSSION
In November 2019 the City received a Certified Welcoming designation from Welcoming America. “Certified
Welcoming” is the formal designation bestowed upon local governments that meet the Welcoming Standard
after an audit of policies and programs for an agency’s efforts including and welcoming immigrants in all
areas of civic, social, and economic life in their communities. The designation was for a period of three years
and expired in December 2022. At its May 23, 2023 meeting, the City Council made a referral to the City
Manager to pursue a Welcoming City recertification.
In 2023, Welcoming America published a revised Certified Welcoming Standard. Previously, Welcoming
America would determine, after a comprehensive questionnaire and five -day in-person audit, if an agency
met the Welcoming Standard to receive the designation of “Certified Welcoming”. The revised Certified
Welcoming program has a star designation system, ranging from one to five stars, with varying costs and
time resource commitments to achieve varying levels of stars and is valid for four years.
Additionally, Welcoming America recently updated their membership tiers and assessment fees from the
City’s initial certification. Currently there are three levels of members: General, Core and Premium, which
range in price from $200 - $2,500 annually, and the audit can range from no-cost (one star) to $6,500 (2-5
stars) based on the level of star designation desired.
To obtain a Certified Welcoming designation, the City must be audited for compliance in seven welcoming
standards: Civic Engagement, Connected Communities, Economic Development, Education, Equitable Access,
Government and Community Leadership, and Safe Communities. Based on the number of stars the City is
seeking to achieve, the amount of time to compile and report data from internal and external stakeholders
will vary. Additionally, the desired star designation impacts the length of audit and the number of internal
and external stakeholders that need to be made available. The table below shows the number of criteria
assessed for each star designation and length of audit. (Attachment 1)

2 7 39 2-5 days
3 7 60 2-5 days
4 7 80 2-5 days
5 7 101 2-5 days
Welcoming America’s audit would determine if the City met the compliance standards for the star
designation the City was seeking and would result in a detailed final report that identifies the community’s
strengths and provides a roadmap for areas of growth. If designated as "Certified Welcoming”, this would be
for a period of four years. During this time, the City could apply for a greater star designation (if not initially
Page 334 of 476
City of Chula Vista - City Council
January 9, 2024 Post Agenda
P a g e | 3
5-Star Certified Welcoming). This process could start at any time, subject to an additional certification fee of
$6,500.
As a Certified Welcoming city, the City would be making the following commitments to Welcoming America:
Membership - Payment of annual membership fees
Audit - Compliance audit(s) by Welcoming America at any time, that may include contractors or third
parties.
Investigation – Welcoming America will have the ability to investigate complaints, including
anonymous complaints, submitted to Welcoming America based on any of the areas that the City was
assessed on as part of the initial audit. (Attachment 2)
If the City Council chooses to pursue Certified Welcoming, the fastest path forward would be to pursue an
initial “1-Star Certified Welcoming” designation.
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
Fiscal impact is based on City Council selection and include:
1 Star with Core membership - $1,500
1 Star with Premium membership - $2,500
2-5 Star with Core membership - $8,000
2-5 Star with Premium membership - $9,000
There are sufficient anticipated budgetary savings to offset this cost in the General Fund in the current fiscal
year.
Should City Council elect to pursue a 2-5 Star designation, additional resources would be required due to the
associated time commitment. A recommendation to amend the City Manager’s hourly budget accordingly
would be included in a future quarterly budget update.
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
Annual membership fees ranging from $1,500 (Core) or $2,500 (Premium) to maintain Certified Welcoming
status, dependent on City Council’s selection, are anticipated and would be incorporated into future budgets.

ABOUT CERTIFIED WELCOMING
Certified Welcoming is a formal designation for local governments
that have created policies and programs reflecting their values
and commitment to immigrant inclusion. This innovative program
assesses local governments on their efforts to include and
welcome immigrants in all areas of civic, social, and economic
life in their communities.
With a Certified Welcoming designation, communities distinguish
their local efforts, build a competitive advantage, and gain access
to opportunities to share their welcoming practices on a regional,
national, and global stage.

INTRODUCTION
Strong communities are ones that connect and include people of all backgrounds. By doing so, communities — and those who live
there — will meet their highest civic, social, and economic potential. As local governments look to create more equitable and vibrant
communities, welcoming and inclusive policies, programs, and practices will set themselves apart.
1 Local governments are places with a governing body, and include cities, towns, counties and other local government jurisdictions.
To gain this competitive edge, leaders in local governments across
the United States can lean on the Certified Welcoming program
and Welcoming Standard framework areas to measure, promote,
guide, and validate welcoming efforts.
BACKGROUND
Welcoming America launched Certified Welcoming in 2017 as a
formal designation for local governments1 to demonstrate their
welcoming values through policies, programs, and practices. Since
the program’s launch, more than two dozen communities in the
United States have undertaken the rigorous process to become
Certified Welcoming. Outcomes of Certified Welcoming include
accountability and institutionalization of work, opportunity to
identify gaps and prioritize next steps, and ability to raise the
profile of the locality for investment in welcoming and immigrant
inclusion work.
In 2020, Welcoming America embarked on a multi-year project
to update the Welcoming Standard and Certified Welcoming to
ensure they continue to provide an accurate and user-friendly
roadmap for places seeking to become truly welcoming places
for immigrants, refugees, and all residents. This was done in
consultation with a broad range of stakeholders from local
government, academia, nonprofits, think tanks, philanthropy,
and beyond, as well as Welcoming Network members — including
members that had directly participated in Certified Welcoming.
The updated Welcoming Standard includes several new criteria
that better reflect the wide range of institutions and policies that
influence day-to-day life in local communities. It is also intended
to be more accessible to communities with fewer resources and
smaller populations. Because the Welcoming Standard builds
upon itself, communities can now envision paths to deepen their
work, gain new champions, and set new goals for becoming
Certified Welcoming at any level.

ABOUT THIS GUIDE
This guide outlines the second iteration of the Certified Welcoming
program and the Welcoming Standard that communities must
meet to earn the designation of Certified Welcoming. It is intended
for those interested in learning more about what it takes to achieve
the Certified Welcoming designation.
This guide also captures a new designation system for Certified
Welcoming which allows places to achieve one of five star
designations for their welcoming efforts. A set of criteria from
the Welcoming Standard is tailored to each star designation.
Far from being a “rating system,” the Certified Welcoming stars
ensure that cities, towns, and counties have a chance to achieve
the designation of Certified Welcoming while also providing
pathways to advance their welcoming work.
Fostering welcoming and inclusive communities requires
continuous work, but it is ultimately achievable. It is a worthy
endeavor that we hope becomes more practical through this guide.

HOW TO BECOME CERTIFIED WELCOMING

City of Chula Vista - City Council
January 9, 2024 Post Agenda
ENSURING YOU’RE READY
2 Relying solely on data from the American Community Survey or the U.S. Census can be unreliable for foreign-born populations. We recommend collecting additional information from direct
service providers, schools, and other trusted community sources to determine the demographics of immigrants in your community.
Places seeking to become Certified Welcoming should understand
the demographics of their community.2 We recommend
conducting a landscape analysis on the community partners
and stakeholders involved in local welcoming and inclusion work.
While Certified Welcoming cannot be achieved without the work of
a wide array of community organizations and leaders, the Certified
Welcoming designation is for local governments and they must be
the lead applicant. Community-based organizations interested in
Certified Welcoming will need to engage their local government to
apply for the program.
Beyond certification, Welcoming America’s Welcoming Network
offers opportunities for all of its members to meet the Welcoming
Standard, including support for community-based organizations
when the local government is not yet ready to be involved.

OVERVIEW OF THE CERTIFICATION PROCESS
The Certified Welcoming process formally evaluates and assesses
your community’s efforts to provide an inclusive place for all.
Candidates complete an intake form and self-assessment, and
receive an evaluative audit (virtual or in-person).
At the end of the assessment process, candidates receive a
detailed final report that identifies the community’s strengths
and provides a roadmap for areas of growth. Depending on the
certification team’s findings, places either receive the Certified
Welcoming designation or implement an action plan to work
toward achieving their designation.
Local governments are required to be the lead applicant for
Certified Welcoming; however, the designation would not be
possible without the work and support of community partners.
Community partners — such as refugee resettlement agencies,
chambers of commerce, and local schools — typically contribute
to the certification process by providing information for the
self-assessment and being interviewed during the audit.
From start to finish, the certification process typically takes six
months to one year.
Certificates are valid for four years. To maintain certification,
local governments must continue to meet the indicators in
the Welcoming Standard, address any observations in their
certification report, and update their self-assessment before
their certificate expires.

PROCESS
SELF-ASSESSMENT
Localities seeking certification are
required to conduct a self-assessment in
which they gather evidence and information
to demonstrate compliance with the
Welcoming Standard. At this stage,
localities select the star designation
they would like to be evaluated for.
DESKTOP REVIEW / ANALYSIS
BY CERTIFICATION TEAM
Once the self-assessment is complete, the
certification team reviews it and conducts
a preliminary analysis of compliance. With
this initial assessment, the certification
team may request additional evidence
or flag items for the audit interviews.
AUDIT
The audit, either virtual or in-person,
consists of a series of interviews with
stakeholders, including community
leaders, government employees, and
representatives from community-based
organizations. The audit provides an
opportunity to verify information provided
in the self-assessment, gather additional
evidence, and gain a better context and
understanding of the landscape of local
welcoming and immigrant inclusion work.

REPORT
The certification team will produce a
detailed final report with their findings,
including compliance with the Welcoming
Standard, as well as local strengths and
opportunities for growth. Reports often
provide communities with a roadmap for
identifying priorities and next steps to
continuously improve work.
ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE,
IF REQUIRED
The report identifies any non-compliant
criteria and localities have the
opportunity and additional time to
provide evidence to demonstrate
compliance to gain certification.
CERTIFICATE AND
ANNOUNCEMENT
Once compliant with all of the criteria for
the star designation, local governments
receive their certificate and coordinate
an announcement. Welcoming America
communications staff provide additional
support to amplify the achievement,
including a press release, a quote from
Welcoming America, and branded
marketing materials to use.
RECERTIFICATION
The Certified Welcoming designation is valid for four years, at which point local governments must apply for recertification to maintain the
designation. Recertification follows the same process as the initial certification, but typically takes less time since evidence may be carried
over from the previous designation. If localities would like to be evaluated for a new star designation before their certification cycle has
ended, they may reapply and go through the same process.

CERTIFIED WELCOMING CRITERIA
BECOME A WELCOMING COMMUNITY 11Page 348 of 476
City of Chula Vista - City Council
January 9, 2024 Post Agenda
CIVIC
ENGAGEMENT (CE)
Welcoming communities
ensure that all residents,
including immigrants, are
able to fully participate in
civic life. Immigrant residents
have access to democratic
spaces, and shape community
priorities and policies.
Immigrants hold leadership
roles in the community,
and local institutions are
invested in increasing access
to leadership positions for
immigrant residents.
WELCOMING STANDARD FRAMEWORK AREAS
CONNECTED
COMMUNITIES (CC)
Welcoming communities
build connections and trust
between residents. Community
institutions — including local
government, businesses, faith
communities, and nonprofits
— create opportunities and
spaces for immigrant and
non-immigrant residents to
have constructive interactions,
develop relationships, and
deepen their understanding
of one another. Institutions
support residents in building
their personal capacity to
engage with people different
from themselves on equal
footing and in sustained
ways that reduce prejudice
and strengthen diverse
community relationships.
ECONOMIC
DEVELOPMENT (EC)
In welcoming communities,
all residents — including
immigrants — can participate
fully in the economy. Workforce
and economic development
infrastructure address the
priorities and needs of
immigrant residents and
immigrant jobseekers.
Programs that support
entrepreneurship, business
development, and workforce
development are accessible
to all residents, including
immigrants. Local businesses
are committed to diverse hiring
and retaining employees
with diverse racial and
ethnic backgrounds.
The seven framework areas
of the Welcoming Standard
underpin the Certified
Welcoming process. Within
each framework area are
multiple criteria that local
governments must fulfill
based on the star designation
they choose to pursue.
Following are the goals of
each framework area of the
Welcoming Standard. In the
next section, you will find
the full set of criteria based
on each Certified Welcoming
star designation.
12 Page 349 of 476
City of Chula Vista - City Council
January 9, 2024 Post Agenda
EDUCATION (ED)
In welcoming communities,
the education system ensures
all students, including
immigrant students, have the
support they need to thrive
in school and the knowledge
they need to succeed in the
workforce. Schools and
community education
programs are informed by
the needs and priorities of
immigrant students and
families, and are accessible
to all residents, including
immigrants. Welcoming and
inclusion efforts are not siloed
within a single school or
program, but incorporated into
the schools and school districts
that serve the community.
EQUITABLE
ACCESS (EA)
Welcoming communities
ensure local services are
accessible to all residents,
including immigrants.
Immigrant residents
provide feedback to local
government and community-
based organizations to
identify and address
demographic disparities
and gaps in services,
and to improve access
to programs, particularly
in the areas of housing,
health, transportation,
financial services, and
the justice system.
GOVERNMENT
AND COMMUNITY
LEADERSHIP (GL)
Welcoming communities
have infrastructure in place
to support immigrant
participation, inclusion, and
equity. The local government
and community-based
organizations regularly seek
feedback from immigrant
residents to understand the
challenges and priorities
of immigrant residents.
Institutions work closely
together to prioritize and build
capacity to implement
immigrant participation,
inclusion, and equity strategies.
SAFE
COMMUNITIES (SC)
Welcoming communities
prioritize safety for all residents,
including immigrants. Policies
and practices are in place that
prevent discrimination. Strong,
trusting relationships are built
between immigrant residents
and local safety services,
such as law enforcement, fire
departments, code enforcement,
and emergency response.
Effective bidirectional
communication between safety
services and immigrant
residents exists, and programs
are in place to address implicit
and structural bias. Community
partnerships are built to identify
and address needs and gaps
in services.

WHAT COMMUNITIES SAY ABOUT BEING CERTIFIED WELCOMING
PHILADELPHIA, PA DETROIT, MI NASHUA, NH
“Philadelphia has worked tirelessly to be a
place where people — from all walks of life
— feel a sense of belonging. Our greatest
strength is our vibrant diversity and that
is largely in part due to the tremendous
and continuous contributions made by
our immigrant communities. This special
recognition is not the end of our efforts,
but a true testament to the commitment
and hard work of City departments and
partner organizations.”
—MAYOR JIM KENNEY,
City of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
(Certified Welcoming since 2023)
“We wanted to change the narrative in Detroit
and show that what’s happening in Detroit
is different from what’s happening across
the country, that we were welcoming to all.
Having the Certified Welcoming designation
would separate us from other communities
and show that we were proud to be a
community of immigrants and refugees.”
—ROBERTO TORRES,
Director of Immigrant Affairs and Economic
Inclusion, City of Detroit, Michigan
(Certified Welcoming since 2022)
“In practice, we have always strived to be a
welcoming city to all; having this recognition
helps us reinforce the assertion that we are
passionately dedicated to ensuring that
everyone feels safe and supported here
in Nashua. Our cultural diversity is what
makes our city the vibrant, exciting place it
is, and we are happy to share this wonderful
certification news with our community.”
—MAYOR JIM DONCHESS,
City of Nashua, New Hampshire
(Certified Welcoming since 2022)

January 9, 2024 Post Agenda
“First, I think the achievement of becoming
a Certified Welcoming city was truly a
recognition of the work that community
partners put in. We got to this point together
and this is how you can see if people feel
like they belong: by being able to accomplish
something like this together. The City of
Pittsburgh and community partners know
that this isn’t a one-off accomplishment or
a box that is checked. The work is ongoing
and our community partnerships and
commitment will continue to carry forward.”
—FEYISOLA AKINTOLA,
Special Initiatives Manager, Office of Equity,
City of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
(Certified Welcoming since 2021)
“Being Certified Welcoming strengthens and
affirms [the welcoming work] you’re doing. It
is a very rigorous process because someone
else was evaluating us, telling us what we were
doing well and what could be improved. The
Certified Welcoming process puts a name
towards that work.”
—JEANNETTE HORWITZ,
Program Coordinator, City of Dayton, Ohio
(Certified Welcoming since 2017)
“Salt Lake County has a long history of
welcoming immigrants and refugees from
all over the world. New Americans continue
to enrich our community with their unique
cultures and contribute to the economic
and political vibrancy of Salt Lake County.
As the first county in the nation to become
Certified Welcoming in 2018, regaining
this designation reaffirms our commitment
to welcoming and supporting immigrants
and refugees. My Office for New Americans
continues to identify and address barriers
to the integration of our neighbors so that
they can maximize their civic, social, and
economic potential in Salt Lake County,
where we all belong.”

Salt Lake County, Utah

Subject: Exempt Pay Letter
Per Government Code section 68203, this is to notify you that the Department of
Human Resources (CalHR) has adjusted the following statutory judicial salaries,
effective July 1, 2023.
After CalHR calculated the 2023 Judicial Salary Increase of 0.53%, 15 bargaining units
1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, 17, 19, 20, and 21) received a general salary
increase retroactive to July 1, 2023. With the inclusion of the Bargaining Unit 1, 3, 4, 6,
7, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, 17, 19, 20, and 21 general salary increases, the 2023
calculation yields a 3.16% average percentage salary increase. To account for the
difference between the previously provided 0.53% and the newly calculated 3.16%,
CalHR has adjusted the judicial salaries by 2.6160% to 2.6163% as reflected in the
chart below:
Please note that the monthly rate may be rounded down so that the total for the twelve
months does not exceed the annual amount. If you have any questions, please contact
