C. Tiered system is based upon the fact that all dealers, regardless of type and style of vehicle, pay a base
assessment of $3,000 per month.
1. Any sales above $24,000,001 in annualized sales, after the first six months of the district, will pay at a
rate of 0.0015 of the average quarterly sales ($24,000,000 in sales per year times 0.0015 equals $36,000 per
year).
2. Maximum Amount. The maximum amount any dealer can pay is $6,000 per month – therefore annualized
sales above $48,000,001 per year are capped at $6,000 per month. (Ord. 3125 § 1, 2009).

Re: Request to "Disestablish" the Chula Vista Auto Park Association, Inc.
Dear Ms. Allen:
By way of this correspondence, Sunroad CV Auto, Inc. ("Toyota Chula Vista") and Sunroad CV Motors,
LLC ("BMW of Chula Vista") hereby request that the Chula Vista Auto Park Association, Inc.
Association") be disestablished.
The Association, whose Articles of Incorporation were filed with the secretary of state on May 25, 2010,
under entity number 3246782 by Mark Boyer, has been defunct for many years with no action being taken
by the Association. Notwithstanding, per the bylaws of the Association, a deposit account was established
in the name of the Association with a banking institution to pay for the Association's expenses, as they may
accrue from time to time. However, due to the inactive nature of the Association, the funds deposited into
such banking institution are not being used and have sat idle for some time. By approving the
disestablishment of the Association, it will allow for these funds to be appropriately distributed back to the
interest holders.
We appreciate your efforts to assist us with this request to "disestablish" the Association. Should you need
any assistance or any additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Regards,
Taso Theodorou

ITEM TITLE
Agreement: Approve Amendment to Legal Services Agreement with Burke, Williams & Sorensen LLP
Report Number: 25-0243
Location: No specific geographic location
Department: City Attorney
G.C. § 84308 Regulations Apply: Yes
Environmental Notice: The activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the California
Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) State Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section
15060(c)(3) no environmental review is required.
Recommended Action
Adopt a resolution approving the first amendment of the legal services agreement with Burke, Williams &
Sorensen LLP for on-call legal services to increase the not-to-exceed amount on the agreement from $50,000
to $150,000.
SUMMARY
The City Attorney’s Office provides legal review, advice, consultation, and representation on a wide variety
of legal issues and litigation related to City operations and staff. The amendment to this agreement will allow
the City to continue to use the law firm Burke, Williams & Sorensen LLP for on-call legal services.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Director of Development Services has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with CEQA and has
determined that the activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines
because it will not result in a physical change in the environment; therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3)
of the State CEQA Guidelines, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Thus, no environmental review is required.
BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

DISCUSSION
The City Attorney’s Office provides a wide variety of legal services to the City, including legal review, advice,
consultation, and representation on diverse matters impacting the City, including its officials, management,
and departments.
The City Attorney’s Office utilizes private law firms to assist in managing the City’s legal needs. The City
presently has a legal services agreement with Burke, Williams & Sorensen LLP for general on-call legal
services. The firm has provided responsive, high quality legal assistance on a variety of matters pursuant to
the agreement, including public contracting, general contract review, and the California Environmental
Quality Act, among other civil advisory matters.
Given the large volume of legal work, the capacity of the existing agreement has been expended. The
proposed first amendment to the legal services agreement for on-call legal services with Burke, Williams &
Sorensen LLP will increase the not-to-exceed amount on the contract from $50,000 to $150,000.
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
It is anticipated that the increase to the contract will be offset with other budgetary savings in the City
Attorney Department’s fiscal year 2025-26 budget.
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
This contract has the option to be extended for four additional years. If extended, the hourly rates may
increase by either $5.00 per hour or the San Diego Carlsbad Consumer Price Index, whichever is greater. The
not to exceed will remain unchanged. Any extension of this contract will be considered as part of the annual
budget development process in future years.

HOLES ARE FOR VISUAL IMPAIRED LIE
IF VISUAL IMPAIR HOW CAN THEY MARK BALLOT?
"The Sacramento County Department of Voter Registration and Elections has recently
learned about online posts about the Statewide Special Election ballot and envelope.
These posts claim that when folded and placed back in the return envelope, a voter’s
ballot selection can be seen through the holes in the envelope. To help address voter
concerns, here are the key facts: There are at least eight ways to insert a BALLOT
CARD INTO THE RETURN ENVELOPE, and only two of these might RESULT IN A
BUBBLE BEING VISIBLE THROUGH THE HOLE. The punched holes in our ballot
envelopes, introduced in 2008, are a best practice in most California counties. They
serve as a tactile guide for visually impaired voters to locate the signature area and
allow VRE staff to verify that all ballot cards have been removed from returned
envelopes."

MULTIPLE CA COUNTIES MAIL BALLOT VOTE EXPOSED
As mail-in ballots began arriving for California's redistricting plan, voters in some

voted "no."

MUST FOLD OPPOSITE OF EXISTING FOLD
A mark on a Prop 50 ballot can be seen through a hole in the vote-by-mail envelope
from Sacramento County, Ca. if the ballot is folded with text on the outside and pla ced
facing one of the holes on the envelope.

ANYONE CHAIN CUSTODY CAN SEE VOTE
DECIDE BEFORE SENDING TO REGISTRAR
A cleverly placed punch hole, allowing whoever handles the envelope to see how that
person voted on Prop. 50. "If someone were unscrupulous and didn't like how I
voted, they could double-mark it, which would invalidate my vote," Allen Wegat, a
concerned voter, told CBS.

Why were the ballots printed so that the "no" bubble shows through the hole? This isn't

2 INTRODUCTION
3 On June 5, 2020, Plaintiff MICHAEL INZUNZA filed a Complaint arising out of his
4 short term employment with Defendant Mater Dei Catholic High School of San Diego, Inc.
5 Mater Dei"). He also named the Diocese of San Diego Education and Welfare Corporation as a
6 defendant. After meeting and conferring regarding the allegations pled and relief sought,
7 INZUNZA subsequently agreed to dismiss his FEHA cause of action, agreed to dismiss the
8 Diocese of San Diego Education and Welfare Corporation, and his claim for punitive damages.
9 On August 25, 2020, INZUNZA filed his First Amended Complaint ("FAC"), which
10 alleged two legally and factually deficient claims for retaliation and intentional infliction of
11 emotional distress.' And, although INUZUNZA dismissed his prayer for punitive damages, he
12 improperly included several allegations in the FAC which request punitive damages. Moreover,
13 after dismissing his FEHA claim and having no remining basis to seek attorneys' fees, INZUNZA
0
14 included in his FAC a claim for attorneys' fees. By this motion, Mater Dei moves to strike
o 15 INZUNZA's allegations and prayer for attorneys' fees and his allegations regarding punitive
O
Cl o M 16 damages, both of which are impermissible. o
a rn ° 17 INZUNZA cannot recover attorneys' fees as there is no statutory or contractual basis for
c 2 N a,
o - 18
C#) him to recover fees based on the claims pled. Regarding punitive damages, Code of Civil
co 19 Procedure section 425.14 precludes punitive damages against a religious corporation (such as
Or
20 Mater Dei) absent a court order based upon a finding of "substantial probability" that the plaintiff
21 will prevail on his claims, which support the imposition of punitive damages. (Code Civ. Proc.,
22 425.14; Little Co. of Mary Hospital v. Superior Court (2008) 162 Cal.App.4th 261, 264-265.)
23 INZLTNZA has failed to seek or obtain such an order and his allegations do not and could not
24 support a claim for punitive damages.
25 Pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure sections 431.10, 435 and 436, the following
26 allegations should be stricken from the FAC: the allegations regarding attorneys' fees referenced

4 FACTUAL BACKGROUND
5 A. Meet and Confer Efforts
6 1. INZUNZA filed his original complaint in this action on June 5, 2020. (RBG
7 Decl., ¶ 3.) Following a meet and confer effort, INZUNZA agreed to dismiss his FEHA claim,
8 his claim for punitive damages and to dismiss Diocese San Diego Education & Welfare Corp. as a
9 defendant. (Exh. 1; RBG Decl., ¶ 3.)
10 2. INZUNZA filed a first amended complaint ("FAC") on August 25, 2020, but pled
11 two causes of action that are legally barred and a claim for attorneys' fees and allegation related
12 to punitive damages. (Exh. 1.) In response, defense counsel engaged in meet and confer
13 communications, in writing and by telephone, with INZUNZA's lawyer to address the problems
14 with the FAC. Despite these efforts, INZUNZA has refused to dismiss these claims. (RBG Decl.,
15 ¶4.)
16 B. Allegations of INZUNZA's FAC Relevant to Motion to Strike
17 The factual allegations pled in the FAC that are relevant to this motion to strike are
18 summarized as follows:
19 •
Mater Dei hired INZUNZA in May 2018 as Assistant Principal. (Exh. 1, ¶ 13.)
20
INZUNZA's duties included implementing school policies and procedures for all
21 students, leading a review board overseeing the duties of all faculty. (Exh. 1, ¶ 14.)
22 •
INZUNZA felt he could fulfill the needs of Mater Dei. (Exh. 1, ¶ 16.)
23
It was believed by INZUNZA would face resistance in enforcing rules but hoped
24 the school would acclimate to his new standards. (Exh. 1, ¶ 17.)
25 • INZUNZA did not receive the support he hoped for from the administration at
26
Mater Dei. (Exh. 1, ¶ 18.)
27 • INZUNZA once reported to Mater Dei Administration that he heard a rumor about
another member of staff having a relationship with a student. The response of
28 Administration was, "Thanks for letting me know." (Exh. 1, ¶ 19.)

I • INZUNZA was asked to and did contact schools from which students were
2 applying to transfer to Mater Dei to discuss their disciplinary history. (Exh. 1,
20.) INZUNZA discovered that requesting student information required parental
3 consent and brought this to the attention of administration, where his concerns
were purportedly "minimized and ignored." (id)
4
INZUNZA believes that he made inquiry about disciplinary history of students5whoseparentshadgivenpermissiontoobtainthatinformation, but now claims the
6 permission was not given which, embarrassed him. (Exh. 1, ¶ 21.)
7 • INZUNZA learned that "the IT department found an external drive containing
pornography," which he reported and was "completely ignored." (Exh. 1, ¶ 22.)
8
INZUNZA purportedly "saw a gun fall from the pocket of a security guard" at9MaterDei. When he reported this, "Defendants were annoyed," and he felt
10 humiliated and confused by the response. (Exh. 1, ¶ 23.)
11 • INZUNZA was purportedly told that a security officer hugged female students and
he reprimanded the security officer. He requested that this be reported to the
12 Diocese and was allegedly told he needed to "back off." (Exh. 1, ¶ 24.)
13 • INZUNZA wanted to discipline a student for conduct that occurred off -campus,
14 after hours at a Halloween party, and was upset that the administration did not
agree because the conduct "didn't happen here." (Exh. 1, ¶ 25.)
15
INZUNZA was responsible for enforcing the hair and dress code at Mater Dei, and16issuedwarnings, detentions, and other reprimands. (Exh. 1, ¶ 27.)
17 •
In January 2020, INZUNZA told an African American student that his hair was
18 too long and later that he needed to remove earrings he had in both ears and a
durag he was wearing on his head. The student was visibly upset but complied.
19 INZUNZA then ordered the student to wait for him in the Attendance Office.
Exh. 1, ¶ 29.)
20
The student "disrespected" INZUNZA, so INZUNZA ordered him to "follow him21tohisoffice." There, INZUNZA told the student he was being suspended for
22 "disrespect and insubordination." INZUNZA ordered the student to wait outside
his office. (Exh. 1, ¶ 30.)
23
INZUNZA notified the student and his mother that he was being suspended for24defianceandinsubordinationinviolationofMaterDeipolicies. (Exh. 1, ¶ 32.)
25 •
INZUNZA also told the student he could not return to school until he was in
26 compliance with the Mater Dei hair code. (Exh. 1, ¶ 32.)
27 • INZUNZA's treatment of the student resulted in public uproar about his
28
discriminatory treatment of the student. (Exh. 1, ¶ 33.)

INZUNZA was subsequently questioned about his interactions with the student
and the student's mother and was "confused by the tone and level of questioning."

On January 31, 2020, INZUNZA was placed on paid administrative leave through
the end of his one-year contract, which ended in July 2020, and that he would not
be offered a new contract for the next academic year. (Exh. 1, ¶ 39.)
INZUNZA believes that his opposition to "unlawful practices" is the reason Mater
Dei did not offer him a new contract after his approximate 18 months of
employment. (Exh. 1, ¶ 40.)
As a result, INZUNZA suffered emotional distress, anxiety, depression, loss of
sleep, worry and humiliation. (Exh. 1, ¶ 41.)
C. Other Facts Relevant to Defendant's Motion to Strike
Mater Dei is a Nonprofit Religious Corporations organized under the California
Nonprofit Religious Corporation Law. (Request for Judicial Notice, Exh. 2.)
LEGAL AUTHORITY
California Code of Civil Procedure section 435 allows any party to "serve and file a notice
of motion to strike the whole or any part [of a pleading]." (Code Civ. Proc., § 435(b)(1).) "The
grounds for a motion to strike shall appear on the face of the challenged pleading or from any
matter of which the court is required to take judicial notice." (Code Civ. Proc., § 437(a).) Courts
are empowered to strike out "any irrelevant, false, or improper matter inserted in any pleading"
and "all or any part of any pleading not drawn or filed in conformity with the laws of this state, a
court rule, or an order of the court." (Code Civ. Proc., §§ 436(a) and (b).) A motion to strike is a
favored procedural mechanism for attacking impermissible claims for punitive damages. (Grieves
v. Superior Court (1984) 157 Cal.App.3d 159, 166-168.) For the reasons set forth more fully
below, Defendants seeks an order striking INZUNZA's improper claims for attorneys' fees and
punitive damages as alleged by INZUNZA in his FAC.

LEGAL ARGUMENT
A. There is No Contractual or Statutory Basis for Attorneys' Fees in this Case
1. INZUNZA Failed to Plead a Contractual Right to Attorneys' Fees
With respect to claims for attorneys' fees in litigation, California follows the American
IRule. "Except as attorney's fees are specifically provided for by statute, the measure and mode of
compensation of attorneys and counselors at law is left to the agreement, express or implied, of
the parties...." (Code Civ. Proc., § 1021; see also, Santisas v. Goodin (1998) 17 Cal.4th 599, 612
Attorneys' fees are not recoverable from an opposing party in the absence of express statutory or
contractual authority].) Unless a contract or statute provides otherwise, each party to a lawsuit
pay their own attorney fees. (Amtower v. Photon Dynamics, Inc. (2008) 158 Cal.App.4th 1582.)
The FAC includes a prayer for attorneys' fees without identifying any contractual basis
for it, without attaching a contract, or citing to any law that permits the recovery of contractual
fees based on the allegations pled. (See, Exh. 1.) Because INZUNZA has not alleged a contract -
based claim, attached or cited to a contract or identified any contract in his complaint containing a
provision for attorneys' fees, he has no contractual basis to recover attorneys' fees.
2. There is No Statutory Basis for Attorneys' Fees
INZUNZA also has not pled a statutory claim or basis to recover attorneys' fees against
Mater Dei. There is no statutory right to recover attorney's fees under Labor Code section 1102.5
or under a claim fir IIED. Labor Code section 1102.5 limits its remedies to the employee's actual
damages and a civil penalty. (Labor Code § § 1102.5(f), 1105.) Thus, there is no statutory basis
for INZUNZA to recover attorneys' fees. (Code Civ. Proc., §§ 436(a) and (b); see also, Amtower-
v. Photon Dynamics, Inc. (2008) 158 Cal.App.4th 1582.)
3. INZUNZA's Anticipated Claim for Attorney's Fees Under CCP Section
1021.5 Also Fails
To the extent INZUNZA argues he is entitled to attorney's fees under Code of Civil
Procedure section 1021.5, he is wrong. Section 1021.5 codifies the "private attorney general"
doctrine of attorney fees as articulated in Serrano v. Priest (1977) 20 Cal.3d 25 [141 Cal.Rptr.

court to award attorneys' fees to a party who succeeds "in the enforcement of an important right
affecting the public interest. However, to recover fees under 1021.5, the plaintiff must prove: he
conferred a significant benefit on the general public or a large class of persons; the necessity and
financial burden of private enforcement of the claim pled make an attorney fee award appropriate;
and, in the interest ofjustice, fees should not be paid out of the recovery. (Flannery, supra, 61
Cal.App.4th at 634.) None of those facts exist here.
To the contrary, INZUNZA has sued only on behalf of himself, has pled claims unique to
his individual, short term employment at Mater Dei and seeks damages only for himself. (Exh.
1.) Further, where, as here, INZUNZA has a personal financial stake in the litigation "sufficient
to warrant [the] decision to incur significant attorney fees and costs in the vigorous prosecution"
of the lawsuit, an award under section 1021.5 is inappropriate. (Millview County Water
District v. State Water Resources Board (2016) 4 Cal.App.5th 759, 769, quoting Summit Media
LLC v. City of Los Angeles (2015) 240 Cal.App.4th 171, 193-194 (emphasis added).) Indeed,
s]ection 1021.5 was not designed as a method for rewarding litigants motivated by their own
pecuniary interests who only coincidentally protect the public interest." (See, Davis v. Farmers
Insurance Exchange (2016) 245 Cal.App.4th 1302, 1329 [fees under section 1021.5 inappropriate
where plaintiff expected financial recovery" from the litigation].)
The burden is on the party requesting section 1021.5 fees to demonstrate all of the
elements of the statute, including that the litigation costs transcend his or her personal interest.
Millview County Water District, supra, 4 Cal.App.5th at 769, citing Norberg v. California
Coastal Com. (2013) 221 Cal.App.4th 535, 545-546.) In meeting this burden the party must
provide substantial evidence that pursuing the lawsuit placed a burden on them out of proportion
to their individual stake in the matter. (Millview, supra, 4 Cal.App.5th at 769, citing
Conservatorship of Whitley (2010) 50 Cal.4th 1206, 1215.)

California highway patrol and others, asserting harassment and wrongful termination in violation
of the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) (Gov. Code, § 12900, et seq.). The matter
went to trial and the court entered judgment on the jury's verdict in favor of Flannery. Thereafter,
the court entered an order awarding Flannery attorney fees and costs under FEHA and section
1021.5 and the Defendants appealed.
On appeal, the court reversed and remanded the case for reconsideration of the amount of
fees awarded, finding the plaintiff was not entitled to fees under section 1021.5 because the
lawsuit did not confer a significant benefit on the general public or on a large class of persons
within the meaning of the statute. In finding fees under 1021.5 were improper, the court held:
When the record indicates that the primary effect of a lawsuit was to advance or
vindicate a plaintiffs personal economic interests, an award of fees under section
1021.5 is improper. [Citations omitted] "Section 1021.5 was not designed as a
method for rewarding litigants motivated by their own pecuniary interests who
only coincidentally protect the public interest." [Citations omitted.] "Instead, its
purpose is to provide some incentive for the plaintiff who acts as a true private
attorney general, prosecuting a lawsuit that enforces an important public right and
confers a significant benefit, despite the fact that his or her own financial stake in
the outcome would not by itself constitute an adequate incentive to litigate."
Citations omitted.]
Here, the trial court found that plaintiffs lawsuit necessarily conferred a
significant benefit on a large class of persons because it sent a message to the
CHP and other government agencies that sexual discrimination, sexual
harassment, and retaliation in violation of the FEHA will not be tolerated. ...['1j]
While plaintiffs lawsuit was based on the important right to be free from unlawful
discrimination, its primary effect was the vindication of her own personal right
and economic interest. The evidence does not support the trial court's finding that
the lawsuit conferred a significant benefit on the general public or on a large class
of persons within the meaning of section 1021.5, and the fee award cannot be
upheld based on that statute.
Flannery, supra, 61 Ca1.App.4th at 635-637.)
Flannery is controlling here. INZUNZA's primary purpose and incentive in filing this
lawsuit is the vindication of his own personal rights and economic interests. If he prevails, the
sole effect of the lawsuit will be a financial recovery for INZUNZA. (See, Exh. 1.) Inasmuch as
the primary purpose and effect of INZUNZA's lawsuit is to vindicate his own personal rights and

economic interests, his request for attorneys' fees under section 1021.5 is improper and must be
stricken. (See also, Davis, supra, 245 Cal.App.4th at 1329 [fee award under CCP 1021.5
inappropriate where plaintiff expected "a substantial financial recovery" from the litigation].)
B. INZUNZA Failed to State a Proper Claim for Punitive Damages

In addition to pleading a completely improper and unfounded claim for attorneys' fees,
INZUNZA has included in his FAC, allegations against Mater Dei for punitive damages, despite
dismissing his prayer for punitive damages. This runs afoul of California law — which prohibits
punitive damages against a non-profit religious corporation (such as Mater Dei) without leave of
court and, only upon a proper showing. (Code Civ. Proc. § 425.14.) Under section 425.14:
No claim for punitive or exemplary damages against a religious corporation or
religious corporation sole shall be included in a complaint or other pleading
unless the court enters an order allowing an amended pleading that includes a
claim for punitive or exemplary damages to be filed.
Code Civ. Proc., § 425.14.)
Despite the plain language of this statute, INZUNZA has included in his FAC allegations
indicating a request for punitive damages. (Exh. 1, ¶¶ 8, 11.) However, INZUNZA has not
sought or obtained leave of court to allege a claim for punitive damages against Mater Dei, which
is fatal to his allegations or claim for punitive damages. Thus, such allegations must be stricken.
2. INZUNZA's Facts Are Insufficient to Support a Claim for Punitive Damages
Even if punitive damages could be sought against Mater Dei without leave of court, any
such claim would fail as a matter of law as it is not supported by the facts necessary to pursue
punitive damages. Civil Code section 3294 authorizes punitive damages only where "it is proven
by clear and convincing evidence that the defendant has been guilty of oppression, fraud, or
malice...." (Cal. Civ. Code, § 3294(a).) To state a prima facie claim for punitive damages, the
complaint must allege facts to demonstrate these elements. (College Hospital, Inc. v. Superior
Court (1994) 8 Cal.4th 704, 721.) According to section 3294:

PORTIONS OF THE FIRST AMENDED COMPLAINT FILED BY PLAINTIFF MICHAEL INZUNZAPage 86 of 254
City of Chula Vista - City Council
October 21, 2025 City Council Post Agenda
Malice is defined as "conduct which is intended by the defendant to cause injury to the
plaintiff or despicable conduct which is carried on by the defendant with a willful and
conscious disregard of the rights or safety of others." (Civ. Code § 3294(c)(1).)
Oppression is "despicable conduct that subjects a person to cruel and unjust hardship
in conscious disregard of that person's rights." (Id. at § 3294(c)(2).)
Fraud is "an intentional misrepresentation, deceit, or concealment of a material fact
known to the defendant with the intention on the part of the defendant of thereby
depriving a person of property or legal rights or otherwise causing injury." (Id. at §
3294(c)(3).)
Despicable," as used in the statute, is conduct that is "... so vile, base, contemptible,

miserable, wretched or loathsome that it would be looked down upon and despised by ordinary
decent people." (Mock v. Michigan Millers Mutual Ins. Co. (1992) 4 Ca1.App.4th 306, 331,
quoting BAJI No. 14.72.1 (1989 rev.), accord, CACI 3943.) It is also well -settled that boilerplate
language cannot support a claim for punitive damages. (Brousseau v. Jarrett (1977) 73
Cal.App.3d 864, 872 ["conclusory characterization of conduct as `intentional, willful and
fraudulent' is patently insufficient within section 3294."]; Grieves v. Superior Court (1984) 157
Cal.App.3d 159, 166 (1984) ["Not only must there be circumstances of oppression, fraud, or
malice, but facts must be alleged in the pleading to support such a claim."].)
Conclusory statements in pleadings which do nothing more than state a party's
conclusions can be stricken and disregarded. (Smithson v. Sparber (1932) 123 Cal.App. 225, 232;
Cyrus v. Haveson (1976) 65 Cal.App.3d 306, 316-317.) As held in Smithson:
Whatever words are found in a pleading (such, for instance, as carelessly,
negligently, willfully, wrongfully, and in fraud of the rights of the plaintiffs) going
to state the pleader's conclusions may be disregarded. A motion to strike ..
would be the proper way to seek their elimination.
Smithson, supra, 123 Cal.App. 225 at 232.) In other words, the complaint "must allege ultimate
facts of the defendant's oppression, fraud, or malice." (Altman v. PNC Mortgage (E.D. Cal. 2012)
850 F.Supp.2d 1057, 1085, quoting Cyrus v. Haveson, supra, 65 Cal.App.3d at 316-317.)
In Turman v. Turning Point of Cent. California, Inc. (2010) 191 Cal.App.4th 53, 63, the
court held that despite allegations of extremely offensive conduct, the conduct did not rise to the
level of constituting malice, oppression or fraud as required by Civil Code section 3294. In that

case, the plaintiff was employed at a halfway house and was subjected to male residents who
propositioned her for sex, made sexual gestures toward her, called her a "whore," and other
derogative names. When the plaintiff complained about the conduct, her supervisor told her to
try to be nicer to them," and that they "did not really mean it." (Id. at 56.) The abuse in alleged
in Turman caused the plaintiff to feel degraded and sick, and continued on a daily basis for two

years until she was terminated. Nonetheless, the Turman court observed that these facts, though
sufficient to withstand a demurrer, were not adequate to plead oppression, fraud, or malice, as
required under section 3294. (Id. at 63.) Inasmuch as the conduct in Turman did not satisfy the
requirements of section 3294, the complaint does not come close to meeting this standard.
Here, INZUNZA has alleged simply that he was not offered a new contract after he was
suspended and an investigation was conducted due to his role in the discipline of a black student
based on dress code violations. INZUNZA also complains about various common workplace
issues that occurred from the start of his employment which have nothing whatsoever to do with
the reasons for his suspension or for his not being offered a new contract. It is absurd for
INZUNZA to even suggest this conduct could ever support a claim for punitive damages.
Additionally, the facts pled by INZUNZA to support punitive damages are boilerplate
recitations which do not adequately plead oppression, fraud, or malice:
Defendants committed the acts alleged herein maliciously, fraudulently,
oppressively, and with the wrongful intention of injuring Plaintiff, and acted with
an improper and evil motive amounting to malice or despicable conduct.
Alternatively, Defendant's wrongful conduct was carried out with a conscious
disregard for Plaintiff's rights. (Exh. 1, ¶8.)
Defendants' conduct warrants the assessment of punitive damages in an amount to
punish Defendants and to deter others from engaging in similar conduct. (Exh. 1,
11.)
As is clear, the FAC does not allege facts or conduct that could ever satisfy the legal
requirements of section 3294. The allegations are a far cry from the "vile, base, contemptible,
miserable, wretched or loathsome" conduct that is required for punitive damages to be
imposed. Conduct does not rise to the level of malice, oppression, or fraud necessary under Civil
Code section 3294 to state a claim for punitive damages simply because one complains of and
reports bad conduct. (See, Turman, supra, 191 Cal.App.4th at 63.)

INZUNZA's allegations do not demonstrate that Mater Dei engaged in conduct that is
fraudulent, malicious, or oppressive, or could in any way provide a basis for punitive damages. In
the absence of such ultimate facts, his claim for punitive damages is improper and should be
stricken. (Grieves v. Superior Court, supra, 157 Cal.App.3d at 166-168.) Therefore, the Court
should strike paragraphs 8 and 11 from the first amended complaint.
V.
THIS MOTION SHOULD BE GRANTED WITHOUT LEAVE TO AMEND
It is not proper to grant leave to amend where it is clear that the problems with the
pleading cannot be cured by amendment. (Davaloo v. State Farm Ins. Co. (2005) 135
Cal.App.4th 409, 415 ["Leave to amend should not be granted where amendment would be
futile"].) This case was filed months ago and INZUNZA has had ample opportunity to plead
facts in support of his complaint and his FAC. Nonetheless, his claims for attorneys' fees and
punitive damages are legally barred. Therefore, leave to amend would be futile and should be
denied. (Davaloo, supra, 135 Cal.App.4th at 415; City of Chula Vista v. County of San Diego
1994) 23 Ca1.App.4th 1713; Blank v. Kirwan (1985) 39 Cal.3d 311, 318 [burden is on the
plaintiff to show how defect can be cured by amendment].)

CONCLUSION
The facts pled by INZUNZA in his FAC do not provide him with a right to recover
attorneys' fees. The FAC complaint also fails to comply with the requirements of Code of Civil
Procedure section 425.14 or to provide facts that meet the requirements of Civil Code section
3294 with regard to pleading a claim for punitive damages.
Therefore, the Court should grant this motion to strike in its entirety without leave to
amend and strike the allegations relating to punitive damages and the allegations and prayer for
attorneys' fees from the FAC as requested herein.

Department: Housing and Homeless Services
G.C. § 84308 Regulations Apply: No
Environmental Notice: The activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) State Guidelines. Therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section
15060(c)(3) no environmental review is required. Under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) the
activity is exempt pursuant to Title 24, Part 58.34(a)(2)&(3) of the Code of Federal Regulations and pursuant
to the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development Environmental Guidelines.

SUMMARY
The City of Chula Vista’s Annual Action Plan is a document required annually by the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to describe the funding strategy for use of various entitlement funds.
The 2025-26 Annual Action Plan (Action Plan) was adopted on June 10, 2025 pursuant to Council Resolution
No. 2025-092. Any significant funding changes to the approved Action Plan constitute a Substantial

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Director of Development Services has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with CEQA and has
determined that the activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines
because it will not result in a physical change in the environment. Therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3)
of the State CEQA Guidelines, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Under NEPA, the activity is exempt pursuant
to Title 24, Part 58.34(a)(2)&(3) of the Code of Federal Regulations and pursuant to the U.S. Department of
Housing & Urban Development Environmental Guidelines. Thus, no further environmental review is
necessary at this time.
BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
Not applicable.
DISCUSSION
HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME)
HOME is a block grant administered by HUD for the purpose of increasing the supply of affordable housing
available to low-income persons. HOME funds have historically been used by the City of Chula Vista (City) to
issue loans to first-time homebuyers, provide short-term tenant-based rental assistance, and finance the
development of new affordable housing. Due to loan payoffs by first-time homebuyer participants and prior-
year unallocated funds, $1,488,848.59 is now available for programing.
More favorable market conditions have led to increased participation in the City’s first-time homebuyer
program this calendar year. These funds are issued to qualifying low-income homebuyers for down payment
and closing cost assistance, with limits on property type and value. The maximum loan amount per household
is currently the lesser of 22% of the purchase price of the home or $120,000. The loans accrue 3% simple
interest as a deferred “silent second” mortgage on the property. The loans are repaid to the City when the
property is sold or transferred and can then be recycled into new program funds. The proposed resolution
would authorize $1,000,000 in additional funding for first-time homebuyer loans.
Staff proposes appropriating the remaining $488,848.59 for the tenant-based rental assistance (TBRA)
program to assist approximately twenty-four (24) low-income and unhoused residents of Chula Vista. This
program is essential for the residents of the Chula Vista Village at Otay shelter as they transition into
permanent housing. To date, approximately 90% of successful exits into permanent housing have been
facilitated by the TBRA program. In the 2025 calendar year, nine shelter residents have been housed using
the TBRA program. An additional eight Chula Vista residents who were determined to be at risk of
homelessness also received TBRA assistance. The assistance is provided for one year, with an option to
continue for one additional year.
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
One subrecipient that was awarded funds through the current Action Plan declined to accept the funds. This
leaves $30,000 available in the public services funding category of CDBG. Staff has reviewed the applications
that were received during the Notice of Funding Availability in connection with the Action Plan and identified
four subrecipients that were awarded less than their full funding request. (The City routinely awards funds
in amounts smaller than requested, in order to equitably distribute funds.) These four partner organizations

are SBCS Corporation, Meals on Wheels, Voices for Children, and the Chula Vista Community Collaborative .
Based on an analysis of the original funding requests, the remaining balance of funds, and discussions with
those partners, staff is proposing to award the remaining funds as follows:
Organization and Program Original
Allocation
Amended
Allocation
Change
SBCS Corporation – Family Violence Support
Services Program
Meals on Wheels - Senior Meal Delivery &
Accompanying Services
Voices for Children - Court Appointed Special
Advocate
Chula Vista Community Collaborative - Family

Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG)
The third HUD grant provided to the City is ESG, which can be used for outreach, shelter, and homelessness
prevention. There is currently $5,003.51 in unused prior year ESG funds. Staff recommends appropriating
these funds for the Chula Vista Village at Otay shelter operating expenses.
CalHome Program
The California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) administers the CalHome
Program, which provides grants to local jurisdictions for first time homebuyer assistance. The City utilizes
CalHome funds to further support its first-time homebuyer program, providing financial assistance to eligible
low-income households for down payments and closing costs. The City previously appropriated $254,497.58
in CalHome funds in March 2022 to this program and is now recommending the appropriation of an
additional $250,500.60 in program income, generated from loan repayments to further expand
homeownership opportunities. Due to the limited nature and eligible uses of these funds, staff is also
recommending that all future program income is appropriated for the creation of new loans.
Next Steps
Staff recommends that the City Council conduct the public hearing to solicit input from the community on
the 2025-2026 amended Action Plan funding recommendations presented. The plan was released on the
City’s federal grant webpage for the required 30-day review, the comment period began on September 29,
2025 and will close October 31, 2025.
Staff will incorporate all public comments into the final amended Action Plan, and submit these to HUD after
the public comment period closes. Due consideration will be given to all comments and views expressed by
the public. The final Substantial Amendment will have a section that presents all comments and addresses
them, as appropriate.

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.

ITEM TITLE
Financial Report and Appropriation: Accept Quarterly Financial Report for the Quarter Ending June 30,
2025 (Fourth Quarter Report) and Appropriate Funds to Implement Required Budget Adjustments
Report Number: 25-0252
Location: No specific geographic location
Department: Finance
G.C. § 84308 Regulations Apply: 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
Accept the quarterly financial report for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 (the “Fourth Quarter Report”) and
adopt a resolution making various amendments to the fiscal year 2024-25 budget and the fiscal year 2024-
25 Capital Improvement Program budget to adjust for variances and appropriating funds for that purpose.
(4/5 Vote Required)
SUMMARY
The Finance Department, in collaboration with other City departments, prepares quarterly financial reports
for the General Fund that reflect budget to actual comparisons, projected revenues and expenditures, and
highlight major variances that may require additional action or budgetary changes to the Amended Budget.
This Fourth Quarter Report is as of June 30, 2025 and is in compliance with Section 505(F) of the City Charter,
which requires that quarterly financial reports be filed by the Director of Finance through the City Manager.
In preparing the Fourth Quarter Report, staff have identified various budgetary changes that are needed to
accurately reflect actual revenues and expenditures or address changes in budgetary needs. For government
entities, a budget creates a legal framework for spending during the fiscal year. After the budget is approved
by the City Council, there are circumstances which arise that could require adjustments to the approved
budget. Council Policy 220-02 “Financial Reporting and Transfer Authority” was established in January of
1996 and amended October of 2023, and allows for budget transfers across budget categories and other
Page 109 of 254
City of Chula Vista - City Council
October 21, 2025 City Council Post Agenda
P a g e | 2
adjustments to be completed. Budget transfers and adjustments processed pursuant to this authority are
provided as Attachments 1 and 2 to this report. This Fourth Quarter Report discusses budget adjustments
that staff recommend in the General Fund as well as various other funds to address identified fiscal issues.
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.
BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
Not applicable.
DISCUSSION
As part of the fiscal year 2024-25 year-end process, staff has reviewed budget to actual reports to identify
potential budget overages at either the category or fund level. Various budget amendments are needed to
align the budget with anticipated year-end actuals.
For government entities, a budget creates a legal framework for spending during the fiscal year. After the
budget is approved, circumstances arise that may require adjustments to the approved budget. City Council
Policy No. 220-02 “Financial Reporting and Transfer Authority” permits budget transfers to be completed.
Transfers that exceed $75,000 require City Council approval. The City Council may amend the budget at any
meeting after the adoption of the budget with a 4/5ths vote. Staff is seeking approval for recommended
adjustments in the General Fund and various other funds to align the budget with anticipated year-end actual
expenditures where the actuals are expected to exceed the budget. Any additional adjustments required will
be included in the next quarterly report to City Council following the release of the City’s Annual
Comprehensive Financial Report.
This report provides summary information for the following areas:
General Fund Revenues and Expenditures
Budget Adjustments to General Fund Expenditures
Budget Adjustments to non-General Fund funds
General Fund Overview
The General Fund saw increases in both revenues and expenditures for the fiscal year 2024-25 fourth
quarter, ended June 30, 2025. Revenues are estimated to exceed the Amended Budget by $5.4 million,
primarily driven by an increase in departmental revenues. Expenditures are also estimated to exceed the
Amended Budget by $4.4 million. This results in an estimated General Fund surplus of $1.1 million that will
be contributed to the reserves per the Citywide Reserve Policy-Fiscal Health Plan (220-03). These variances
are further detailed in the subsequent sections.

General Fund Revenues
As shown in Table 1 above, the City’s General Fund revenues are anticipated to end the year $5.4 million
higher than the Amended Budget. This overage is a combination of Other General Fund Revenues exceeding
the amended budget by $6.2 million offset with a Major Discretionary Revenues shortfall of $0.8 million.
Major Discretionary Revenues
The City’s Major Discretionary Revenues are coming in $0.8 lower than the Amended Budget. This variance
is primarily due to slightly lower than anticipated Property Tax ($0.9) and Transient Occupancy Taxes (TOT)
($0.7) revenues from slower growth than anticipated in the Amended Budget, particularly in short-term
rentals. These decreases are offset by increases in both Measure A and Measure P Sales Tax which are
expected to exceed the Amended budget by $0.3 million each, for a combined total of $0.6 million. Similarly,
Sales Tax revenue is expected to exceed the Amended budget by $0.1 million. Based on the latest information
from HdL, the City’s sales tax consultant, the additional Sales Tax revenue is driven by the business industry,
restaurants and hotels categories. Franchise Fees are anticipated to surpass the Amended budget by $0.3
million due to higher than anticipated receipts from solid waste franchise fees.
Other General Fund Revenues
These revenues are projected to exceed the Amended Budget by $6.2 million primarily due to variances at
the department level and are detailed in the General Fund Department Revenues section.
General Fund Expenditures
The City’s General Fund expenditures are projected to exceed the Amended Budget by $4.4 million, primarily
in the Transfers Out, Other Expenses and Supplies and Services categories. The overage in the Transfers Out
category of $2.7 million is due to higher than anticipated Sales Tax revenues received in the General Fund
and transferred to the Measure A and Measure P Sales Tax funds of $0.6 million, transfers to the Bayfront
Lease Revenue Fund of $0.6 million, and transfers to the Capital Improvement Projects Fund of $1.5 million.
The Other Expenses and Supplies and Services categories are expected to be over budget by $1.4 million and
$0.7 million, respectively, primarily due to encumbrances that will be carried forward into fiscal year 2025-
26.

*Tables may not tie due to rounding
Revenues are estimated to exceed the Amended Budget by $5.5 million, below are details of the variances
exceeding $0.5 million.
The Non-Departmental department is where the City’s major discretionary revenues are recorded, including
Property Tax, Sales Tax, Measure A Sales Tax, Measure P Sales Tax, and Property Tax in lieu of VLF (also
known as Motor Vehicle License Fees); the projected variance is a net increase of $2.4 million. The variance
from Amended Budget is comprised of a $0.8 million anticipated shortfall in major discretionary revenues
offset with an increase of $3.2 million in Other Revenues, largely attributed to additional interest earnings
from investments and a one-time payment from the Successor Agency.
The Engineering/Capital Projects and Public Works departments are expected to exceed the Amended
Budget by $1.1 million and $0.6 million respectively. This increase is attributable to an increase in
reimbursements from billable work on various capital projects. The Police Department reflects additional
revenues of $0.9 million received from special events and reimbursements from various grants. The Fire
Department’s increase of $0.8 million is largely due to additional reimbursements from Fire Strike Team
activity. The Parks and Recreation Department variance reflects increased program revenues of $0.6 million
due to additional recreational programming made available to the residents of Chula Vista during the year.

*Tables may not tie due to rounding
Expenditures are estimated to exceed the Amended Budget by $4.4 million, below are details of the variances
exceeding $0.5 million.
Non-Departmental is anticipated to exceed budget by $5.7 million. This is primarily in the Transfers Out,
Supplies & Services and Other Expenses categories. The variance is attributable to transfers to both Measure
A and Measure P Sales Tax Funds based on projected Measure A and Measure P Sales Tax actuals; increased
encumbrances (commitments that carry into the next fiscal year), primarily for additional public liability
expenses, and additional transfers to the Capital Improvement Projects Fund.
The Police Department is anticipated to exceed budget by $2.0 million which is driven by an increase in
overtime costs tied to staffing vacancies and operational needs. The Fire Department is expected to exceed
budget by $0.6 million mainly driven by increased reimbursed overtime costs which are offset by revenue
from Strike Team deployments. The Engineering/Capital Projects Department anticipates expenditures
below budget of $2.0 million driven by department vacancies resulting in anticipated salary savings.
Fiscal Year 2024-25 Budget Adjustments
Staff recommends various adjustments, appropriations, and transfers to City Departmental and Fund
budgets that require City Council authorization.
Page 114 of 254

P a g e | 7
General Fund Adjustments
In the General Fund, some of the transfers are between expense categories within the same Department and

Preparation of the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report
Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager to amend the fiscal year 2024-25 budget
and approve appropriations and transfers in the General Fund and various other funds in order to ensure
audited, actuals resulting from final year-end closing entries do not exceed the authorized budget.
Staff recommends that the Director of Finance report any further amendments to the fiscal year 202 4-25
budget and appropriations and transfers to the General Fund and various other funds approved by the City
Manager in the next quarterly financial report following the release of the Annual Comprehensive Financial
Report.
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
The Fourth Quarter Report presents projected revenue and expenditure amounts as of June 30, 202 5, with
updates through October 3, 2025, as the most current information available. Approval of the resolution
amending the fiscal year 2024-25 budget and the fiscal year 2024-25 Capital Improvement Program budget
will result in the following impacts:
General Fund – The proposed adjustments result in no net impact to the fiscal year 2024-25 budget. This
includes an increase in General Fund appropriations of approximately $4,439,593, and an increase in
estimated revenues of $4,439,593.
Other Funds – The proposed adjustments result in a negative net impact to the fiscal year 2024-25 budget
of the Other (non-General Fund) Funds of $8,765,449. This includes an increase in appropriations of
approximately $16,919,794 and an increase in estimated revenues of $8,154,345.
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
Staff will review the impacted budgets to identify potential ongoing impacts and may recommend budgetary
adjustments to Council during fiscal year 2025-26.

BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
On July 18, 2024, the Parks and Recreation Commission voted to recommend approval of the Park Master
Plan and the name “Bayani Park” for the Neighborhood Park in Village 8 West by a vote of 5-0.
DISCUSSION
Background
The SPA plan for Otay Ranch Village 8 West was adopted by City Council on December 17, 2013, by Resolution
No. 2013-270. On May 13, 2019, a duly verified application requesting approval of an amendment to the SPA
Plan (MPA19-0011) and a new Tentative Subdivision Map (PCS19-0003) was filed with the City of Chula
Vista Development Services Department by HomeFed Village 8, LLC (the “Developer”). The SPA Plan
amendment and Tentative Subdivision Map were adopted by City Council on February 18, 2020 (Resolution
Nos. 2020-033 and 2020-034, respectively). On November 3, 2020, Map No. 16428 was recorded by the
County Recorder, File No. 2020-7000372. Map No. 16428 reflects Lot D for the neighborhood park.
Otay Ranch Village 8 West (Cota Vera) includes an active mixed-use Town Center and other complementary
land uses, including Community Purpose Facilities, two parks (Central Square Park and neighborhood park),
residential neighborhoods, open space and a community-wide trails system. The 5.5-acre neighborhood park
located on the eastern side of Village 8 West will increase the recreational opportunities already provided in
the newly constructed Central Square Park located in the Town Center (Attachment 1).
Otay Ranch Village 8 West Parks Agreement
Park obligations for development projects are found in Chapter 17.10 of the Chula Vista Municipal Code
(“CVMC”). This chapter is also known as the Parkland Dedication and Development Ordinance (“PLDO”). The
Agreement regarding construction of parks in Otay Ranch Village 8 West (the “Parks Agreement”) approved
on October 20, 2020, by City Council Resolution No. 2020-223 further details the Village’s plan to meet the
parkland obligations (Attachment 2).
The Otay Ranch Village 8 West project (“Project”) satisfies the land dedication requirements of the PLDO by
granting a Public Access Easement over Central Square Park and the neighborhood park (Lot D) accepted by
the City on Final Subdivision Map No. 16428 recorded at the County Recorder’s office on November 3, 2020.
Additionally, the Project has offered to dedicate an irrevocable fee interest to the City (“IOD”) for 12.3 usable
acres within the Community Park (Lot A, Attachment 1). The Project will satisfy the remaining park
development requirements of the PLDO by constructing the neighborhood park in addition to Central Square
Park and by paying in-lieu fees for the Project’s proportionate share of the Community Park development
improvements.
The Parks Agreement acknowledges that the neighborhood park shall be owned and maintained by the Otay
Ranch Village 8 West Homeowners’ Association and, as such, park improvements may deviate from standard
park improvements typically required in City-owned parks. In accordance with the Parks Agreement, if such
additional amenities are provided, the cost and associated park development fee credits shall be subject to
approval by the Director of Development Services, or designee.
The Developer has agreed to provide a mechanism to fund the perpetual maintenance for both the 5.5 -acre
neighborhood park and the 2.8-acre Central Square Park included within the Project. Based on the current
Page 140 of 254

estimated annual cost of $14,000 per acre to maintain parks, the Developer or their Assignees are
responsible for an annual park maintenance cost of approximately $116,200 per year.
Neighborhood Park (FM Lot D)
The neighborhood park in Cota Vera is a 5.5-acre HOA-owned and maintained park that is to be open for use

The park’s theme is inspired by the proposed Filipino American Veterans monument to be located within the
park and reflects the broader contributions and cultural influence of the Filipino American community in
Chula Vista. The following park names options are being brought forward for City Council consideration and
approval:
A) “Bayani Park”; or
B) “Filipino American Veterans Park”
Both names honor the service of Filipino American Veterans to our country. The word “Bayani” means ‘hero’
in Tagalog, or someone who sacrifices for the nation or community.
In accordance with City Council Policy No. 470-01, Asset Naming and Renaming (Resolution No. 2025-155),
proposed names should be neutral and should not duplicate or closely resemble those of existing parks,
facilities, or landmarks within the City of Chula Vista, in order to avoid potential confusion of the public and
public safety. “Filipino American Veterans Park” could be considered in conflict with this Policy, given the

existing “Veterans Park” within the City. It should be noted that both park names currently under
consideration were proposed prior to the adoption of said City Council policy.
Neighborhood Park Cost and Budget Analysis
The total estimated budget for the neighborhood park is approximately $5.03 million, based on the Parkland
Acquisition and Development (PAD) Fees effective October 1, 2024, or fees applicable at the time the
construction contract is awarded in accordance with the Parks Agreement. The current construction cost
estimate for the Park Master Plan is approximately $7.8 million including soft costs. The final construction
cost estimate will be prepared during the Construction Documents phase and bidding process.
In accordance with the Parks Agreement, the Developer may elect to provide amenities that are different
and/or beyond those associated with a typical City park. If Developer provides any such additional amenities,
the cost and associated park development fee credits shall be subject to approval by Director of Development
Services, or designee.
The Developer is committed to constructing the park as proposed, with the understanding that additional
funding or modifications to the park design may be required. Prior to incurring any construction costs that
exceed the park development fee obligation, the Developer must obtain written approval from the Director
of Development Services or their designee. Upon such approval, the Developer may receive credit for eligible
park improvements up to the amount of the approved construction costs, at the discretion of the Director of
Development Services or designee.
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 Cou ncil member, of any other fact
that may constitute a basis for a decision maker conflict of interest in this matter.
CURRENT-YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
There is no current-year fiscal impact to the City as a result of this action.
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
The Developer will construct the neighborhood park on behalf of the City to partly meet the Village 8 West
parkland obligations. There will be no capital cost to the City for the construction of this park.
There will be no ongoing fiscal impact to the City, as the park will be perpetually maintained by the
Community Homeowners Association.

1t t1M , 2020, by and between HomeFed Village 8, LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company and Otay Land Company, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (collectively,
Developer"), and the City of Chula Vista, a California municipal corporation and charter city
City"), with reference to the following facts:
A. Developer owns certain real property generally known as Otay Ranch Village Eight West
Village 8 West" or "Project"), as shown on Exhibit A, and located in the City of Chula
Vista (the "Property"). The Developer intends to develop the Property as generally
depicted on Exhibit B attached hereto.
B. Village 8 West will be developed in accordance with its Sectional Planning Area (SPA)
Plan, adopted by Chula Vista City Council Resolution 2013-270 and amended by City
Council Resolution 2020-033 (Project); and

by Chula Vista City Council Resolution 2020-034 for the Project ("Tentative Map") and
supplemental subdivision improvement agreements.
E. The PLDO is utilized to determine the parkland required for the Project, whereby 460

F. The Village 8 West Sectional Planning Area (SPA) Plan anticipates that the Project will
provide sufficient area and facilities to meet its recreational needs on site through the
provision of a Town Square Park, a Neighborhood Park and a Community Park consistent
with the Project's parks master plan and the Parkland Acquisition requirements of the
PLDO.
G. The Developer has agreed to provide a mechanism to fund the perpetual maintenance of
8.3 acres of neighborhood parks planned within the Project, as required by the Fiscal
Impact Analysis prepared by DPFG dated January 16, 2020 and included in the Project's
Supplemental PFFP. Based on an estimated annual cost of $14,000 per acre to maintain
parks, the Developer or their Assignees are responsible for an annual park maintenance
cost of approximately $116,200/year. The parks maintenance budget shall be adjusted to
reflect adjustments in escalation of cost on an annual basis and in accordance with the
approved Association annual budget. The cost saving to the City General Fund is reflected
in the fiscal model summary and is a requirement of the Project.
H. The Project is a common interest development and, by its approval of this Agreement, the
legislative body of the City has determined that both publicly -owned and privately -owned
parks developed within the Project are eligible to satisfy park dedication and improvement
and/or in lieu fee requirements under the PLDO.
I. The parties intend by this Agreement to implement the requirements of the SPA Plan, the
PLDO, and the conditions of approval of the Tentative Map by establishing a Town Square
Park, a Neighborhood Park, and a Community Park that satisfy park requirements for the
Project. The City typically owns and pays all or part of the cost to maintain parks using
General fund dollars. In analyzing the anticipated fiscal impacts of Village 8 West with
the 2020 SPA Amendment, an ongoing fiscal deficit was identified. In order to address
that deficit, the Developer agreed to provide a mechanism to fund the maintenance of the
Town Square Park and Neighborhood Park, in perpetuity. The Developer proposes to fund
such ongoing maintenance activities through a Homeowner's Association (the
Association"). In order to fund the ongoing maintenance of the Town Square Park and
Neighborhood Park, the Association must retain fee title ownership of the subject
properties. The Community Park within the Project will be owned and maintained by the
City.
J. - In order to secure full public access and enjoyment of the Town Square Park and the
Neighborhood Park, the Developer will grant a Public Access Easement over both parks,
in conjunction with the Project's Final Map. The Town Square Park and Neighborhood
Park will be open for park use consistent with CVMC Section 2.66.270. At no time, will
the Association modify Town Square Park or Neighborhood Park hours of operation
without the approval of the Director of Development Services, or his/her designee.
Pursuant to the Cota Vera Conditions, Covenants and Restrictions ("CCRs"), each Owner,
and the Association acknowledge and agree that such Town Square Park and
Neighborhood Park shall be required to remain open to the general public, and that the
Association shall be obligated to maintain, operate and program such Town Square Park
and Neighborhood Park in accordance with this Agreement. In no event shall the
Association or any Owner seek to have the City -accepted Public Access Easement vacated.

K. The Developer will also be required to grant on the first Final Map an irrevocable offer of
dedication ("IOD") to the City for a total of 15.11 acres (14.8 usable acres) of the
Community Park as provided in the conditions of approval for the Tentative Map. Such

designee. The allocation of parkland credits associated with the 14.8 usable acres will be
divided as described in Sections 2 and 2.1. The City will be responsible for construction
and maintenance of the Community Park.
L. This Agreement does not increase or decrease any park obligations but instead clarifies
responsibility for the PLDO requirements attributable to the Project by addressing the
amount of land required, as well as requirements for park design, park construction,
bonding, the level of amenities to be provided, event programming and identifies a
maintenance funding mechanism, as required by the Project's conditions of approval —

and the Community Park, in accordance with Section 2. These credits
are valued in accordance with the established costs for acquisition of
parkland at the time of the Agreement and may be transferred to other
owners within Village 8 West for application toward PAD fees at
building permit issuance.
B. Development Credits. Subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 2.4,
Developer is entitled to credits against the Park Development Fees for
the Town Square Park and Neighborhood Park in the amount of such
Estimated Construction Costs. Credits shall be based on the Park
Development Fees in effect under CVMC 17.10.110, at the time the
contract is executed for such Turnkey Park. Credits may be transferred
to other owners within Village 8 West and applied toward PAD fees as
building permits are issued for residences within the Project. Developer
will receive credit against Park Development Fees for each Park as
follows:
i) 50% credit with City's acceptance of
Estimated Construction Cost.
ii) 25% credit with contract for construction
iii) 25% at Completion of Construction
C. Adjustments. After completion of the Town Square Park and
Neighborhood Park and determination of the actual Construction Costs
pursuant to Section 2.4, if the amount of the credits against the Park

City of Chula Vista - City Council
October 21, 2025 City Council Post Agenda
Development Fees that have been applied to building permits issued for
residences within the Project exceed the actual Construction Costs,
Developer will pay the balance of the Park Development Fees to the
City within 60 days of a written notice to Developer. Developer will be
entitled to apply to Park Development Fees any unused credits based on
the actual Construction Costs. If Developer determines that actual
Construction Costs may exceed the estimated Construction Costs, then
Developer may propose to pay the additional actual Construction Costs
or modify the Park Master Plan to reduce costs consistent with the
estimated Construction Costs, subject to the approval of the Director of
Development Services, or his/her designee. '
2.6 Community Park IOD. Developer shall grant an IOD on the first
Village 8 West Final "A" Map for a total of 15.11 gross acres (14.8 usable acres) of
Community Park land as provided in the condition of approval for the Tentative Map. Such
IOD shall be free and clear of all encumbrances and easements that would prevent use of
the Community Park for public park purposes, subject to the review and approval of the
Development Services Director, or his/her designee. The City shall be responsible for
construction and maintenance of the Community Park.
2.7 Additional Parkland. If the Project includes more than 561 single
family residences and more than 1,773 multi -family residences and that development
results in additional parkland park acquisition or in lieu fee obligations in accordance with
the PLDO, Developer shall satisfy the additional obligations to the satisfaction of the
Director of Development Services, or his/her designee.
2.8 Resource Management Plan. The Otay Ranch Phase 2 Resource
Management Plan Update (RMP), Section 6.1.2, requires the conveyance of fee title to land
within the Otay Ranch Preserve to the Otay Ranch Preserve Owner Manager or its designee
at a ratio of 1.188 acres for each acre of "development area," as defined in RMP. Because
the Town Square Park and the Neighborhood Park will have a Public Access Easement
granting the public access for public park purposes, the City agrees that the Town Square
Park and the Neighborhood Park will be considered "Common Area" for purposes of the
RMP, and therefore, in accordance with the RMP, Section 6.1.2, Developer will not be
required to convey land within the Otay Ranch Preserve with respect to the acreage within
the Town Square Park and the Neighborhood Park.
2.9 Vacation. Should the Public Access Easement be vacated in the
future, and the public is no longer able to use the Town Square Park and/or the
Neighborhood Park for public park purposes, then the Applicant for the vacation shall be
required to satisfy the RMP conveyance and PAD Fee requirements with respect to affected
acreage within the Town Square Park and/or the Neighborhood Park prior to or
concurrently with any Public Access Easement vacation.
3. Rentals, Concessions and Events. Rentals, concessions, and special events
are contemplated in the Town Square Park and Neighborhood Park. Unless specifically
permitted in the Village 8 West SPA Plan, activities within all parks within Village 8 West
shall be subject to CVMC Chapter 2.66 Park and Facilities Rules.

City of Chula Vista - City Council
October 21, 2025 City Council Post Agenda
3.1 Rentals and Concessions in the Town Square Park and
Neighborhood Park. The Association shall have full decision -making power over rentals
and concessions in the Town Square Park and Neighborhood Park, as well as control over
and right to receive any revenues derived therefrom. Both Association members and the
public shall have access to rental opportunities within the Town Square Park and
Neighborhood Park. Members of the public shall coordinate directly with the Association
for such rentals and the payment of any rental fees. Association members or the public may
secure rentals on a first come -first served basis. Association shall establish rental fees,
consistent with City fees for similar amenities. Rental fees for Association members may
be discounted at the discretion of the Association.
3.2 Events and Programming in the Town Square Park and
Neighborhood Park. The Association shall have full decision -making power over events
and programing within the Town Square Park and Neighborhood Park. The City shall have
the opportunity to request and receive approval from Association for up to a combined total
of twelve (12) City -sponsored events per year at the Town Square Park and the
Neighborhood Park, subject only to availability, reasonable insurance and public health and
safety requirements. City shall coordinate directly with the Association to schedule any
City -sponsored event. City shall be responsible for repairing any damages to Neighborhood
Park or Town Square Park resulting from any City -sponsored event. In addition, City shall
be responsible for all custodial and trash removal following any City -sponsored event. All
events shall be consistent with the Village 8 West SPA Plan and the requirements of the
CVMC Section 2.66.
4. Maintenance. Developer shall be responsible for maintenance of the Town
Square Park and the Neighborhood Park to the satisfaction of the Director of Development
Services, or his/her designee, until the Association or other entity assumes responsibility in
writing for maintenance of the Town Square Park and/or Neighborhood Park pursuant to
CC&Rs. CC&Rs shall stipulate that maintenance by Association shall be to the satisfaction
of the Director of Development Services, or his/her designee. Association shall submit
annual park maintenance and reserve budgets, including life cycle replacement guidelines
to City for review by Director of Development Services, or his/her designee, for review.
Upon such assumption of Town Square Park and Neighborhood Park maintenance
responsibilities by Association, Developer shall be released from any further obligation to
maintain the Town Square Park and the Neighborhood Park. City shall maintain the
Community Park from and after the City's acceptance of the IOD for the Community Park.
5. Delays. The City may approve extensions for the date for Commencement
and/or Completion of Construction of the Town Square Park and the Neighborhood Park
due to City delays in approving park plans or due to force majeure.
6. California Labor Code. As set forth in Lincoln Landing Project - City of
Hayward, Public Works Case No. 2017-025 (Apr. 18, 2019), the construction of the Town
Square Park and the Neighborhood Park is not a "public work" as defined in the California
Labor Code for purposes of prevailing wage requirements and is therefore not subject to
prevailing wage requirements.

in the Official Records of San Diego County Recorder, as amended. The parties agree that,
should any changes in state or federal law result in one or more provisions of this Agreement
no longer being enforceable, the parties shall meet and confer regarding amending the
Agreement accordingly. The required PLDO fee obligations and values are subject to
periodic updates.
8. City Action. If the City finds that the proposed design of a the Town Square
Park and/or the Neighborhood Park is inconsistent with the SPA Plan, Developer shall have
the opportunity to re -design the Town Square Park and/or the Neighborhood Park and
submit the revised design for the Director of Development Services, or his/her designee,
consideration.

Dear Councilmember Carolina Chávez,
I hope this message finds you well. I am writing with deep respect, and on behalf of many in
our community who recognize your commitment to representation, equity, and honoring
those who have sacrificed for our nation.
On Tuesday, October 21, you will be voting on Agenda Item 8.3, which will determine the
official name of a new 5.5-acre park in Otay Ranch Village 8 West. This vote carries historic
weight.
Why Your Leadership Matters
This is not simply a name decision. This is a moment of truth for our city. The Filipino
American community — including many veterans and their families residing in District 1 —
has spent over three years working collaboratively with Mayor McCann and city leaders to
secure a dedicated space to honor Filipino American veterans. From the very beginning,
the intent was clear and unanimous: this park would be named Filipino American Veteran
Park.
Learn why this is important

City of Chula Vista - City Council
October 21, 2025 City Council Post Agenda
Written Communications – Item 8.3 Espinosa – Received 10/21/2025
The recent introduction of the alternate name “Bayani Park” did not come from the veteran
community. It was introduced without consultation or consensus from those whose lives,
history, and identity this park is meant to commemorate.
This Will Be the Only Park of Its Kind in the United States
There is currently no park anywhere in the country specifically dedicated to Filipino
American veterans — despite their decades of service alongside U.S. troops, including in
World War II, where they fought and died under the American flag.
Chula Vista now has the opportunity to make history by becoming the first city in the United
States to formally honor these veterans by name.
Community Commitment & Cultural Legacy
Filipino American community leaders have committed to privately fund the monument —
placing no financial burden on taxpayers.
The park will serve as a cultural hub, a place of education, remembrance, and pride for
generations to come.
Naming the park Filipino American Veteran Park is not symbolic — it is truthful, respectful,
and reflective of the intent and promise that began this process.
Our Request to You
As the elected representative for District 1 — home to many Filipino families and veterans
— your vote carries both symbolic and real significance. By supporting Filipino American

Veteran Park, you are affirming your commitment to honoring military service, preserving
cultural heritage, and upholding the public trust.
With humility, I respectfully urge you to vote YES on Filipino American Veteran Park.
Your leadership at this moment will be remembered for generations as a stand for truth,
dignity, and historical justice.
Thank you for your service to District 1 and your thoughtful consideration in this matter.
Respectfully,
Vidal Espinosa MBA

Parks and Recreation Commission Chair
City of Chula Vista
276 4th Ave, Chula Vista, CA 91910
Dear Ms. Allen, Mr. Carson, and Mr. Calvo:
We, the undersigned, members of the South Bay Filipino Community, are asking for you to
consider proposing the naming or renaming of a public park in Chula Vista to honor and
memorialize the significant contributions of the local Filipino and Filipino American community.
For reference, Filipinos make up 20% of the Chula Vista community, a significant portion.
While we are aware of discussions of a specific Filipino Veterans’ park, we wholeheartedly feel
that a park dedicated to our community should also be inclusive of the diverse accomplishments
and contributions of the Filipino community, including our veterans and others, to our city.
We feel that a park dedicated to our community should be able to host large events, such as an
annual Filipino festival that has ample parking, restrooms, and access to public transportation,
that could attract visitors from across the region. This would be more suitable than a smaller
neighborhood park that may have limited parking and not be able to accommodate such events.
We are committed to celebrating the rich history, cultural heritage, and civic engagement of
Filipino and Filipino American residents in Chula Vista. We believe that dedicating a park in
recognition of our enduring contributions will provide a meaningful and lasting
acknowledgment, foster community pride, and create an inclusive space for reflection and
connection.
We are eager to collaborate with the City Manager’s office and the Parks and Recreation
Department to ensure that this initiative reflects the values and interests of both the
Filipino/Filipino American community and the broader Chula Vista community.

being used for their intended purpose and that waste and mismanagement of these funds are being
prevented. Also, to optimize spending and implement the most cost effect measures that enhance public
safety while meeting the mission. When necessary, engage with residents to listen to concerns and solicit
feedback to better meet the mission, this builds confidence with our community.
26.I understand that to be considered, I must submit a resume along with this application.

Please describe your applicable experience and expertise in 250 words or less:
With 33 years of experience in public service, I bring extensive knowledge of government operations,
community engagement, and fiscal accountability. My career spans various roles at the city, state, and
legislative levels, with a consistent focus on serving the public with integrity, transparency, and
responsiveness.
Currently, I serve as District Director for Assemblymember David Alvarez, where I manage staff, coordinate
community projects, and oversee stakeholder engagement—including supporting the development of a
new university in the district. My role requires balancing community needs with state resources, a skill
directly aligned with Measure P oversight responsibilities.
Previously, as Deputy Chief of Staff for San Diego City Councilmembers David Alvarez and Vivian Moreno, I
supervised staff, managed constituent services, and played a key role in policy development—most notably
the Barrio Logan Plan Update and the Chicano Park Cultural Museum.
Earlier roles with State Senators and Assemblymembers, I have managed district budgets, analyzed
legislation, and built long-standing relationships with community organizations and leaders.
My educational background in Journalism (BA, SDSU) enhances my communication skills, while my service
on the Sweetwater Union High School District Audit/Finance Subcommittee demonstrates ongoing
involvement in fiscal oversight and accountability.
I am passionate about ensuring public funds are used efficiently and transparently, and I am eager to bring
my experience and dedication to the Measure P Citizens’ Oversight Committee.

25.What are your principal areas of interest in our City government, and what experience or special
knowledge can you bring to those areas? (250 words or less)
My principal areas of interest in Chula Vista’s city government include infrastructure improvement, public
safety, responsible fiscal management, and equitable community development. I am especially interested
in ensuring that underserved neighborhoods receive the investments and services they need, while
maintaining transparency and accountability in how public funds are spent.
Through my 33 years in public service, I have developed deep knowledge of how government agencies
operate and how to navigate complex issues with a focus on results. I’ve managed district operations,
supported the rollout of major capital and planning projects, and worked closely with community
stakeholders to align public investment with real community needs.
As District Director for Assemblymember David Alvarez, I help lead efforts around community-based
initiatives, including the planning of a new university in our region — an effort requiring coordination across
city, state, and local agencies. In my previous roles with City Councilmembers and State Legislators, I
contributed to successful planning and revitalization efforts, including the Barrio Logan Community Plan
Update and creation of the Barrio Logan Maintenance Assessment District.
Additionally, my service on the Sweetwater Union High School District Audit/Finance Subcommittee reflects
my commitment to fiscal oversight and community accountability. I understand the importance of clear
communication, stakeholder trust, and diligent follow-through.
I am committed to helping Chula Vista grow in a way that reflects the needs of all residents, and I believe
my background offers both the experience and perspective necessary to support that goal effectively.
26.What would you hope to accomplish in the role of a Member of the Citizens' Oversight Committee?
(250 words or less)
I am applying for the Measure P Citizens’ Oversight Committee because I believe my experience in policy
implementation, constituent services, and oversight of district operations uniquely positions me to
contribute meaningfully to the accountability efforts surrounding Measure P funds. I am committed to
ensuring that public resources are allocated responsibly and in alignment with community priorities.
Serving on this committee would allow me to continue giving back to the community, promote fiscal
transparency, and support initiatives that improve Chula Vista’s infrastructure and public safety.
27.I understand that to be considered, I must submit a resume along with this application.

DISCUSSION
On May 14, 2024, the City Council made a referral to agendize a discussion regarding the proclamation
process. On Feb 11, 2025, the City Council made a related referral to direct staff and City Attorney to
investigate and report back to the City Council regarding the City’s options to allow the City
Councilmembers to issue proclamations. On April 1, 2025, the City Attorney reported back to the City
Council regarding options to modify Council Policy 111-02 and received feedback from the City Council.
That feedback was reviewed and incorporated as potential revisions to Council Policy 111-02. On April 15,
2025, changes were adopted by the City Council. This item is coming back for further amendments.
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 Councilmember, of any other fact
that may constitute a basis for a decision-maker conflict of interest in this matter.
CURRENT-YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
Any costs associated with the amendment is already included in the current fiscal year budget.
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
Any costs associated with the amendment will be included in the future fiscal year budgets.
