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 a member of the City Council or staff removes the item from the Consent Calendar. 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. Action Items are items expected to cause discussion and/or action by the City Council but do not legally require a public hearing. Closed Session may only be attended by members of the City Council, support staff, legal counsel, and others specified on the agenda. Closed session may be held 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.

In an effort to address the outstanding items of the ARA, City of San Diego and Participating Agencies, including the City of Chula Vista wish to amend and restate the ARA as provided in the Second Amended Restated Regional Wastewater Agreement (the “SARA”). In this action, the City of San Diego and the Participating Agencies (PA), including the City of Chula Vista agreed to negotiate certain costs relating to the Industrial Pretreatment and Source Control Program to be charged as Metro System Costs to City of San Diego and PA. Administrative Agreement No. 1 will formalize the agreement between City of San Diego and the PA for unified management of Industrial Waste Discharge Pretreatment and Enhanced Source Control Programs. Page 19 of 1137 City of Chula Vista - City Council January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda P a g e | 2 ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The proposed action was reviewed for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and it was 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. BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION Not applicable DISCUSSION A. Second Amended Restated Regional Wastewater Agreement (SARA): The Point Loma Wastewater Treatment Plant (PLWTP) is a regional facility in the Metropolitan Sewerage System (Metro System) and is permitted to treat 240 million gallons per day (MGD) of regional wastewater to an Advanced Primary Level. Operated by the City of San Diego, the PLWTP was constructed in 1963 and is the backbone of the Metro System. The City of Chula Vista’s average of 16.7 MGD of wastewater is treated at PLWTP. The City of Chula Vista is one of 12 PAs that convey wastewater to the PLWTP for treatment. The Metro Wastewater Joint Powers Authority (Metro JPA) is a joint powers agency composed of 12 local public PAs each having the authority to provide and contract for the conveyance, treatment, and disposal of wastewater. The Metro JPA represents over 800,000 sewer rate payers and provides more than $105M a year in contributions to the Metro System. As a result, the Metro JPA and the City of San Diego are partners in overseeing PLWTP. The Federal Clean Water Act, passed in 1972, required that all wastewater treatment plants be permitted with a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit. The permitting process in California involves the Environmental Protection Agency, the Regional Water Quality Control Board, the State Water Resources Control Board and the California Coastal Commission. The Clean Water Act required wastewater treatment plants to treat wastewater to at least a secondary level. The actual treatment requirements vary depending on whether discharging to a lake, river or ocean as well as specific characteristics of the receiving water body. Several years after the Clean Water Act was enacted, it was amended to allow a modified permit (waiver of secondary treatment) if the discharger could demonstrate the safe discharge of wastewater to the receiving water. Initially, the City of San Diego applied for a modified permit for PLWTP, but later withdrew the application and began planning to convert PLWTP to secondary treatment. During this time, the window for applying for modified permits closed and the City of San Diego had not begun the construction to convert PLWTP. In 1994, the Ocean Pollution Reduction Act (OPRA) was passed by the Federal government modifying the Clean Water Act. OPRA re-opened the window to apply for a modified permit (waiver of secondary treatment) and gave the City of San Diego the opportunity again to apply for a modified permit for PLWTP. In response to the support from the environmental community, the City of San Diego agreed to construct facilities to provide 45 MGD of reclaimed water capacity. This resulted in the construction of Page 20 of 1137 City of Chula Vista - City Council January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda P a g e | 3 the North City Water Reclamation Plant, the South Bay Water Reclamation Plant and the South Bay Ocean Outfall. The City of San Diego was granted the first modified permit for PLWTP in 1994. Regional Wastewater Disposal Agreement 1998 During this period there were some challenges between the City of San Diego and the PAs. The PAs felt that the City of San Diego was operating the Metro System and making large financial decisions without their input or consideration. The disputes led to the creation of the 1998 Regional Wastewater Disposal Agreement (Attachments 1 and 2) and the formation of the Metropolitan Wastewater Commission (Metro Commission). The City of San Diego and the PAs, entered into the Regional Wastewater Disposal Agreement dated May 18, 1998 (the “1998 Agreement”), which provided, among other things, for certain contract rights to capacity in the Metropolitan Sewerage System, a system of wastewater conveyance, treatment, and disposal facilities (“Metro System”) and the establishment of a mechanism to fund the planning, design, construction, operation, and maintenance of the Metro System by the City of San Diego and the PAs. The purposes of the 1998 Agreement were: (1) to replace the prior-existing sewage disposal agreements between the City of San Diego and the PAs; (2) to provide certain contract rights to capacity in the Metro System to the PAs; (3) to establish a mechanism to fund the planning, design, construction, operation and maintenance of the Metro System by the City and the PAs as necessary to provide hydraulic capacity, and to comply with applicable law and with generally accepted engineering practices; and (4) to establish a system of charges which allocates the costs of the planning, design and construction of such new wastewater conveyance, treatment and disposal facilities as necessary solely to provide for new capacity on a fair and equitable basis. Pure Water On April 29, 2014, the City of San Diego City Council approved the Pure Water San Diego program by adoption of Resolution No. R-308906, which approved and supported the City of San Diego’s efforts to develop an implementation strategy to offload wastewater flow from the PLWTP through implementation of potable reuse, resulting in effluent discharged to the Pacific Ocean being equivalent to what would be achieved by upgrading the PLWTP to a secondary treatment plant (secondary equivalency). The City of San Diego is implementing a phased, multi-year program designed to achieve compliance with the Clean Water Act and regionally produce up to 83 MGD of safe, reliable potable water using new, expanded, or modified facilities, some of which will include Metro System facilities, in order to achieve secondary equivalency at the Point Loma Wastewater Treatment Plant. Currently, the Pure Water Program will not only benefit the City of San Diego by producing repurified water, but also the PAs, and their wastewater customers, especially if secondary equivalency is recognized through federal legislation amending the Clean Water Act. Specifically, the implementation of the Pure Water Program will reduce wastewater discharges to the PLWTP, part of the Metro System where a large portion of the PAs’ wastewater is currently treated and disposed of by discharging it into the Pacific Ocean. By diverting wastewater from the PLWTP and reducing the effluent discharged into the Pacific Ocean, the City of San Diego and the PAs will potentially avoid billions of dollars in Page 21 of 1137 City of Chula Vista - City Council January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda P a g e | 4 unnecessary capital and operating costs to upgrade the Point Loma plant to secondary treatment at full capacity. Avoiding such costs would result in significant savings for regional wastewater customers and achieve environmental benefits by reducing ocean discharge. Amended and Restated Regional Wastewater Disposal Agreement (ARA) Effective on or around August 22, 2021, the City of San Diego and the PAs, amended the 1998 Agreement by executing an Amended and Restated Regional Wastewater Disposal Agreement (the “ARA”) to address the costs and revenues associated with Phase 1 of the Pure Water Program, including specific cost allocations related to the construction, expansion, and/or modification of Metro System facilities and Water Repurification System facilities designed to produce up to 30 MGD of Repurified Water (“Phase 1”; Attachments 3 and 4). The ARA provided that within one year of its effective date, the Parties would meet and negotiate in good faith regarding one or more amendments to the ARA or to its Exhibits to address multiple outstanding items described in Section 2.9 of the ARA. In an effort to address in good faith the outstanding items described in Section 2.9 of the ARA, and comprehensively and equitably address the costs, revenues, and billing system associated with the Pure Water Program and the related construction, expansion, and/or modification of Metro System facilities beyond Phase 1, the City of San Diego and PAs, including the City of Chula Vista wish to approve a second amendment and restate the ARA as provided herein (Attachment 5). B. Administrative Agreement No. 1 As noted earlier, the City of San Diego operates the Metro System, a regional wastewater system that collects, treats and disposes of wastewater generated from within City of San Diego boundaries and from within the service areas of the PAs, in accordance with NPDES Permit No. CA107409 and California Waste Discharge Requirements. The City of San Diego desires to carry out a uniform industrial waste disposal, pretreatment and enhanced source control program (“Industrial Pretreatment and Source Control Program,” as defined in Attachment 6) on behalf of itself and the PAs in the Metro System throughout the Metro System service area; and to help ensure that the City of San Diego can meet the requirements of its NPDES permits, including implementation of both indirect potable reuse under Phase 1 of Pure Water San Diego and a potential future direct potable reuse (“DPR”) program. The City of San Diego and the PAs determined that the centralized operation of an Industrial Pretreatment and Source Control Program provides certain General Benefits (as defined in Attachment 6) to all users of the Metro System. Absent an Industrial Pretreatment and Source Control Program providing these General Benefits, the increased costs would be incurred as general treatment and disposal costs of the Metro System. Additionally, any PA with industrial users in their jurisdiction would also incur the costs of operating their own program. Pursuant to Government Code Sections 6502 and 6513, the PAs may delegate to the City of San Diego full authority to carry out a common Industrial Pretreatment and Source Control Program, on behalf of the City of San Diego and the PAs, which meets the requirements of federal and state law, including City of Page 22 of 1137 City of Chula Vista - City Council January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda P a g e | 5 San Diego’s required permits, and is consistent with the Industrial Pretreatment and Source Control Program ordinances enacted by the City of San Diego and each PA, as amended from time to time. Pursuant to such delegation, the City of San Diego may issue industrial user permits or discharge authorizations to Industrial Users, levy and collect industrial waste discharge, pretreatment, and permitting fees, fines and penalties, and recover other costs of monitoring and enforcement from industrial and other users discharging to the Metro System on behalf of the PAs. Currently, the costs related to the industrial discharges inspection, monitoring, and enforcement program within the City of San Diego’s boundaries, including related administrative and laboratory costs, are excluded from the amounts charged by the City of San Diego as Metro System Costs to City of San Diego and the PAs pursuant to section 5.2.1.2.3 of the Amended and Restated Regional Wastewater Disposal Agreement (“ARA” as defined further herein). The City of San Diego and the PAs agreed, pursuant to section 2.9.1.3 of the ARA, to negotiate in good faith to allow certain costs relating to the Industrial Pretreatment and Source Control Program to be charged as Metro System Costs to City of San Diego and PAs in recognition of the General Benefits that the program provides to the Metro System. Based on the above, the PAs agree to delegate to the City of San Diego, as the agent of each PA, and the City of San Diego agrees to accept, the authority and responsibility for diligently inspecting, monitoring and enforcing the City of San Diego’s Industrial Pretreatment and Source Control Program ordinances on behalf of the PAs within their respective boundaries through administrative or legal proceedings, with the PAs working in coordination with the City of San Diego as necessary in enforcement efforts. However, to be clear, the City of San Diego shall not be responsible for, and does not accept authority or responsibility to inspect, monitor or enforce any source control program requirements for any PA’s NPDES permits. The City of San Diego and the PAs intend for all costs relating to the Industrial Pretreatment and Source Control Program be recovered, to the maximum extent permissible by law, through fees, costs, charges, and fines billed directly to Industrial Users subject to the Industrial Pretreatment and Source Control Program, and for such fees, costs, charges, and fines to be reviewed and updated periodically to ensure maximum cost recovery. These costs include, but are not limited to, costs of permitting, inspection, compliance monitoring, setting of local limits, source control, and enforcement. 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 Page 23 of 1137 City of Chula Vista - City Council January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda P a g e | 6 There is no additional fiscal impact to the City’s Sewer Enterprise Fund in the current fiscal year as a result of this action. Existing sewer rates generate sufficient revenue to fund ongoing operations, maintenance, repair, rehabilitation, system expansion, and treatment costs. The Sewer Enterprise Fund is primarily supported by user fees, and the current rate plan generates sufficient revenue to meet the financial obligations for wastewater service and equitably recover costs from customers. The current rate plan expires on June 30, 2026, and will be updated to incorporate the pro-rata share of the Pure Water Program costs as determined by the Metro JPA. ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT The five-year financial plan adopted by the City Council for the period of fiscal year 2021-22 through fiscal year 2025-26 was developed using a robust and dynamic cash flow model that mirrors the utility’s accounting structure and operational requirements. The model anticipated potential changes in operating costs, including increases in wastewater treatment costs associated with the upgrade of City of San Diego’s Point Loma Wastewater Treatment Plant (PLWTP). To address future cost impacts beyond the current rate plan, the Department of Engineering & Capital Projects will initiate an updated sewer rate study in fiscal year 2025-26 to support adoption of a new sewer rate effective July 1, 2026.

The City and the Participating Agencies may be referred to herein individually as a “Party,” and collectively as the “Parties.” RECITALS WHEREAS, the City and the Participating Agencies (or their predecessors in interest) entered into that certain Regional Wastewater Disposal Agreement dated May 18, 1998 (the 1998 Agreement”), which provided, among other things, for certain contract rights to capacity in the Metropolitan Sewerage System, a system of wastewater conveyance, treatment, and disposal facilities (“Metro System”) and the establishment of a mechanism to fund the planning, design, construction, operation, and maintenance of the Metro System by the City and the Participating Agencies; and WHEREAS, the purposes of the 1998 Agreement were: (1) to replace the prior-existing sewage disposal agreements between the City and the Participating Agencies; (2) to provide certain contract rights to capacity in the Metro System to the Participating Agencies; (3) to establish a mechanism to fund the planning, design, construction, operation and maintenance of the Metro System by the City and the Participating Agencies as necessary to provide hydraulic capacity, and to comply with applicable law and with generally accepted engineering practices; and (4) to establish a system of charges which allocates the costs of the planning, design and construction of such new wastewater conveyance, treatment and disposal facilities as are necessary solely to provide for new capacity on a fair and equitable basis; and WHEREAS, on April 29, 2014 the San Diego City Council gave its approval and support for the Pure Water San Diego program by adoption of Resolution No. R-308906. The Resolution approved and supported the City’s efforts to develop an implementation strategy to offload wastewater flow from the Point Loma Wastewater Treatment Plant through implementation of potable reuse, resulting in effluent discharged to the Pacific Ocean being equivalent to what would be achieved by upgrading the Point Loma Wastewater Treatment Plant to a secondary treatment plant (secondary equivalency); and WHEREAS, the City is implementing a phased, multi-year program designed to regionally produce at least 83 million gallons per day of safe, reliable potable water using new, 23rd July 21 Page 82 of 1137 City of Chula Vista - City Council January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda expanded, or modified facilities, some of which will include Metro System facilities, in order to achieve secondary equivalency at the Point Loma Wastewater Treatment Plant; and WHEREAS, the Pure Water Program will not only benefit the City by producing repurified water, but also the Participating Agencies and their wastewater customers, especially if secondary equivalency is recognized through federal legislation amending the Clean Water Act. Specifically, implementation of the Pure Water Program will reduce wastewater discharges to the Point Loma Wastewater Treatment Plant, part of the Metro System where a large portion of the Participating Agencies' wastewater is currently treated and disposed by discharging it into the Pacific Ocean. By diverting wastewater from the Point Loma Wastewater Treatment Plant and reducing the effluent discharged into the Pacific Ocean, the City and the Participating Agencies will potentially avoid billions of dollars in unnecessary capital, financing, energy, and operating costs to upgrade the Point Loma plant to secondary treatment at full capacity. Avoiding such costs would result in significant savings for regional wastewater customers; and WHEREAS, the Padre Dam Municipal Water District, the San Diego County Sanitation District, and the City of El Cajon have proposed a program to produce up to 12 million gallons per day of safe, reliable potable water for East San Diego County using wastewater that would otherwise be disposed of in the Metro System ("East County A WP Program"). By offloading wastewater and wastewater contents from the Point Loma Wastewater Treatment Plant, the East County A WP Program would, if implemented, help the City's and region's efforts to achieve long-term compliance with the Clean Water Act by producing a regional annual average of at least 83 million gallons per day of water suitable for potable reuse by December 31, 2035, as described in the Cooperative Agreement in Support of Pure Water San Diego entered into by the City and certain environmental stakeholders on December 9, 2014; and WHEREAS, Section XIV, subsection B, of the 1998 Agreement provided that the Parties may amend the Agreement by a written agreement between the City and all Participating Agencies stating the Parties' intent to amend the Agreement; and WHEREAS, in order to comprehensively and equitably address the costs and revenues associated with the Pure Water Program and the related construction, expansion, and/or modification of Metro System facilities, the City and Participating Agencies wish to amend and restate the Regional Wastewater Disposal Agreement as provided herein. THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises set forth herein, the City and the Participating Agencies agree as follows: I. DEFINITIONS A.

Each bill shall be paid within thirty (30) days of mailing. Quarterly payments will consist of the total estimated cost for each Participating Agency, based on their estimated Flow, COD and SS, divided by four. 5.2.4.4 At the end of each fiscal year, the City shall determine the actual Metro System Costs and the actual Flow as well as the cumulative Strength data for the City and each of the Participating Agencies. The City shall make any necessary adjustments to the unit rates for Flow, COD and SS based on actual costs for the year. The City shall then recalculate the SSC for the year using actual costs for the year, actual Flow, and cumulative Strength factors (COD, SS and Return Flow) for the City and for each Participating Agency. The City shall credit any future charges or bill for any additional amounts due, the quarter after the prior year costs have been audited. NCCC (New Contract Capacity Charge). If New Contract Capacity is required or requested by a Participating Agency, pursuant to Article VII, the Metro System shall provide the needed or requested capacity, provided that the Participating Agency agrees to pay an NCCC in the amount required to provide the New Contract Capacity.

San Diego, representing East Olay, Lakeside/Alpine, Spring Valley & Winter Gardens Sanitation Districts Page 132 of 1137 City of Chula Vista - City Council January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda Administrative Protocol on Allocation of Operating Reserves and Debt Service Coverage to Participating Agencies BACKGROUND: In early 2008 the MetroTAC formed a working group in response to the City of San Diego's request for 20 million in funding in FYE 2009 from the Participating Agencles ("PAs") for operating reserves and debt service coverage. The working group continued to meet with City of San Diego staff regarding the establishment of a mutually agreed upon protocol through early February 2010. A summary of the City of San Diego's 2008 proposal and the negotiated 2010 protocol is included as Attachment A. At its regular meeting of February 17, 2010, the MetroTAC approved the following recommendations to move to the Finance Committee of the Metro Wastewater JPA and thereafter to the Metro Commission/ Metro Wastewater JPA for discussion and action: Proceed with PAs funding a 1.2 debt service ratio coverage Proceed with PAs funding a 45 day operating reserves The PAs will fund no other reserves FY07 and FY08 refund monies will be used to fund the operating reserves Interest accrual on operating reserves and undesignated accounts will start with FY1O (beginning on July 1, 2009) The Finance Committee of the Metro Wastewater JPA, at its February 24, 2010 meeting, took action to recommend approval of the above, by the Metro Commission/ Metro Wastewater JPA. At its March 4, 2010 meeting, the Metro Commission/ Metro Wastewater JPA, comprised of representatives of the PAs, approved the components of the negotiated policy, with the understanding that any such policy would serve as an administrative protocol regarding the allocation of debt service coverage to the PAs and funding of operating reserves by the PAs. PROTOCOL REGARDING PA FUNDING OF OPERA TING RESERVES: Background: Operating reserves are established to provide funding for unforeseen events that might occur during the course of the fiscal year such as unforeseen major maintenance or capital projects. The PAs performed a survey of other regional wholesale agencies and determined that agencies such as the San Diego County Water Authority maintain a 45 day operating reserves. Although the City of San Diego's current policy is to increase operating reserves for its retail customers from 45 to 70 days, the City realizes that if a major maintenance incident should occur it can immediately request payment from the PAs per the Regional Wastewater Disposal Agreement. The City of San Diego's retail customer's rates cannot be immediately increased due to Proposition 218 requirements for noticing and public hearings, Protocol: Attachment Bis a summary of the funding strategy showing each PAs 2007 and 2008 refunds based on recent City Metro Wastewater Exhibit E audits. The refunds will be used to fund the PAs 45 day operating reserves contribution. In the majority of cases most PAs will see a refund even after they have Final - April 19, 2010 S0PUB\PDESOUSA\393171.1 Page 1 Page 133 of 1137 City of Chula Vista - City Council January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda fully funded their portion of the operating reserves. PAs that do not have adequate refunds will be ) billed for their portion of the reserve in the next quarterly 2010 billing. The operating reserves for each fiscal year will be established based on 45 days of operating revenues as determined by the following formula: Fiscal Year Estimated Operating Expenses (not including CIP and debt service] X 45 days 365 days The number of days included in the calculation cannot be changed without prior consent of the PAs, The operating reserves will be maintained by the City of San Diego and interest will accrue on a monthly basis based on actual interest rates on the City's investments. This interest revenue will be added to the PAs undesignated fund balance for that fiscal year. As part of each year's Exhibit E audit the actual required operating reserves and interest earned on it will be determined and audited by the City of San Diego's external auditors and PA representatives. A summary of the operating reserves balance and interest earned for each PA will be included as a footnote or attachment to the City Metro Wastewater Exhibit E Audit. PROTOCOL REGARDING ALLOCATION OF DEBT SERVICE COVERAGE TO PAs Background: A 1.2 debt service coverage ratio is a requirement for all of the outstanding Metro parity debt. A cash flow prepared by the City of San Diego shows (Attachment C) that if the PAs are billed at the current level ($65 million annually to cover the PAs portion of operations, pay-go capital, and debt service expense) for the next three to five years that this requirement can be achieved without additional contributions by the PAs. This provides the PAs a stable projected annual Metro contribution for the next three to five years. Protocol: The PAs will maintain through annual contributions and use of PA undesignated fund balance a positive cash flow not to exceed 1.2 times the PA share of the required annual debt service on Metro Debt. The debt service coverage ratio of 1.2 cannot be changed without prior consent of the PAs. The undesignated fund balance will be maintained by the City of San Diego and interest will accrue on a monthly basis based on actual interest rates on the City's investments. This interest revenue will be added to the PAs undesignated fund balance for that fiscal year. As part of each year's Exhibit E audit the actual required reserve coverage and interest earned on the undesignated fund balance will be determined and audited by the City of San Diego's external auditors and PA representatives. A summary of the debt service coverage requirement and portion of interest earned on the undesignated fund balance for each PA will be included as a footnote or attachment to the City Metro Wastewater Exhibit E Audit. If the cash flow in any year does not provide the required 1.2 debt service coverage the PAs will be billed the additional required revenue including interest.

In addition, the City intends to construct the North City Pure Water Facility on a nearby site to produce Repurified Water. This Exhibit F sets forth the costs and revenues associated with the Pure Water Program which are, or are not, attributable to the Metro System. I. Costs Excluded from Metro Svstem Costs All of the following Pure Water Program costs, including Capital Improvement Costs, Operation and Maintenance Costs, and other related costs (including administration, insurance, claims, and overhead) are excluded as Metro System Costs for purposes of calculating the annual Sewer System Charge, and shall be the responsibility of City's water utility ("City Water Utility PW Costs"), unless otherwise expressly agreed to pursuant to an amendment to this Exhibit F: I. I General Exclusions. I. I. I Costs of the Water Repurification System and any Metro System facilities to the extent constructed, modified, expanded, or used for the purpose of treating water beyond secondary treatment ( ocean discharge standard under current law). This shall include costs for preliminary treatment, primary treatment, and secondary treatment to the extent such costs are higher than they would otherwise be due to the production ofRepurified Water. 1.1.2 Costs for fail-safe disposal, if necessary, for design capacity for Repurified Water, including, but not limited to, any costs associated with the reservation of capacity at the Point Loma Wastewater Treatment Plant. 1.1.3 Costs for the demolition or replacement of existing Metro System facilities with similar facilities for the purpose of making space available for Water Repurification System facilities. Such costs may take into account the current asset value or market value of the existing Metro System facility. 1.2 Cost Exclusions Specific to North City Water Reclamation Plant Improvements. 1.2.1 Costs for increased aeration tank volume to the extent the new volume exceeds the amount necessary to provide 52 mgd capacity. Determination of sizing to provide 52 mgd capacity shall be based on the current tank volume necessary to provide 30 mgd capacity. 1.2.2 Costs for the methanol feed system. 1.2.3 Costs for brine disposal, including, but not limited to, pump stations, pipelines, retreatment, ocean outfall, and monitoring. 60409.00001\30398144.16 Page 145 of 1137 City of Chula Vista - City Council January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda 1.2.4 Costs for the use of existing tertiary water filters for Repurified Water purposes. Such costs may take into account the depreciated value of such filters, or use such other appropriate valuation method as agreed by the City and authorized representatives of the Metro Commission. (Costs under this section shall be reimbursed or credited by City's water utility to the Metro System.) II. North City Water Reclamation Plant Improvement Costs Included as Metro Svstem Costs Notwithstanding the above exclusions, the City and the Participating Agencies have specifically agreed that the following Capital Improvement Costs and Operation and Maintenance Costs related to North City Water Reclamation Plant improvements shall be included as Metro System Costs for purposes of calculating the annual Sewer System Charge and therefore not qualify as City Water Utility PW Costs): 2.1 Costs for chemically enhanced primary treatment for up to 52 mgd capacity. 2.2 Costs for primary effluent equalization for up to 52 mgd capacity. 2.3 Costs for increased volume of aeration tanks that will provide up to, but not exceeding, 52 mgd capacity. Determination of sizing to provide 52 mgd capacity shall be based on the current tank volume necessary to provide 30 mgd capacity. 2.4 Costs to add secondary clarifier tanks sufficient for up to 52 mgd capacity. 2.5 Costs for wastewater conveyance facilities to provide wastewater for replacement of centrate flows that cannot be treated at the North City Water Reclamation Plant due to the production of Repurified Water. 2.6 Costs for treatment and conveyance of all return flows (micro-filtration and tertiary backwash) based on Flow, COD, and SS. III. Cost Allocation Example Attachment I is an example of the City's Pure Water Phase I Cost Estimate (based on 60% design), and indicates which costs are City Water Utility PW Costs and which costs are attributable to the Metro System. The Parties agree that Attachment I is an illustrative document to assist the Parties in the future and is not a comprehensive list of all such costs. If there is any conflict between this Exhibit F and Attachment 1, or if a specific cost is not addressed in Attachment 1, this Exhibit F shall control. IV. Revenue Sharing for Repurified Water 4.1 Background. Initially, the parties anticipate that the cost per acre foot associated with the production ofRepurified Water will be more expensive than the cost per acre foot of untreated imported water. However, it is anticipated that Repurified Water produced under the Pure Water Program will be less expensive than untreated imported water sometime in the future. Once Repurified Water produced under the Pure Water Program becomes less expensive 60409.00001\30398144.1 6 2 Page 146 of 1137 City of Chula Vista - City Council January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda than the cost of untreated imported water, the parties agree that there will be revenue from the Pure Water Program. 4.2 Calculation. Revenue sharing shall occur in each fiscal year during which the annual cost per acre foot associated with the production of Repurified Water is less than the cost of untreated water per acre foot from the San Diego County Water Authority ("CWA"). The annual cost difference shall be known as "Repurified Water Revenue." Repurified Water Revenue shall be detennined as follows: Annual cost per acre foot of CWA untreated water purchased by the City for delivery at Miramar Reservoir (which shall be determined based on the total of certain fixed and variable costs for water actually billed to the City by CW A for water delivered at Miramar Reservoir in a fiscal year, divided by the number of acre-feet of CWA water delivered at Miramar Reservoir that year) less Annual cost per acre foot of City Water Utility PW Costs which shall be determined based on total annual City Water Utility PW Costs divided by the number of acre-feet of Repurified Water actually produced in that year) multiplied by The number of acre feet of Repurified Water produced by Pure Water Program facilities during the applicable fiscal year. Attachment 2 is a summary of billings from CWA showing fixed and variable costs for untreated water. The Parties agree that Attachment 2 shall be referred to by the Parties in the future in determining how costs for water delivered at Miramar Reservoir are calculated. If no untreated water is delivered at Miramar Reservoir in a given year, then the closest point of delivery of untreated water to the City shall be used. The City shall estimate whether there will be Repurified Water Revenue in the upcoming fiscal year prior to January 15 of each year, and the estimated amount of Repurified Water Revenue shall be effective on July 1 of the upcoming fiscal year. 4.3 Revenue Sharing. Repurified Water Revenue shall initially be shared based on the relative actual Capital Improvement Costs for the Pure Water Program contributed by City's Water Utility and the Metro System. Such Capital Improvement Cost contributions are currently estimated as (61 % City Water Utility and 39% Metro System) until the debt attributable to the Metro System is fully paid. Following full payment of debt attributable to the Metro System, Repurified Water Revenue shall be shared based on the relative actual Operation and Maintenance Costs for Pure Water Program facilities contributed by City's Water Utility and the Metro System, calculated 60409.0000! IJ0)98144. l 6 3 Page 147 of 1137 City of Chula Vista - City Council January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda annually. Such Operation and Maintenance Costs are currently estimated as (76% City Water Utility and 24% Metro System) on an annual basis. 4.4 Year-End Adjustment. At the end of each fiscal year during which there is Repmified Water Revenue, the City shall determine the actual cost per acre foot of CW A untreated water purchased by the City, the actual cost per acre foot of City Water Utility PW costs, and the actual amount ofRepurified Water produced at Pure Water Program facilities. Based on the actual cost and production infonnation, the City will recalculate the Repurified Water Revenue for the prior fiscal year. The City will credit any future charges or bill for any additional amounts due the quarter after the prior year costs have been audited. 4.5 Change in Potable Reuse Method. The parties acknowledge that the Pure Water Program will initially use the surface water augmentation method of potable reuse. The nse of CW A untreated water costs in calculating Repurified Water Revenue is intended to provide an appropriate point of comparison to costs for producing Repurified Water that will be introduced into surface water. The parties agree that if the City implements direct potable reuse (in which Repurified Water is introduced directly into a water supply pipeline or facility), the parties shall meet and negotiate in good faith regarding an amendment to this Exhibit F to appropriately update the formula for Repurified Water Revenue. V. Capital Expense Rate 5.1 Background. The Point Loma Wastewater Treatment Plant operates under a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System ("NPDES") permit modified under section 301(h) & (j)(5) of the Clean Water Act. If such modified permit were ever revoked or not renewed, the parties agree that, under current law, the City would have an obligation to upgrade the Point Loma WTP to secondary treatment. The parties further agree that $1.8 billion is a fair and comprehensive estimation of the costs that could be incurred by the Metro System to meet the legal requirements related to the Metro System under current law. The estimate of $1.8 billion is based on the net present value of the capital cost to develop 180 MGD of secondary treatment at Point Loma WTP as of November 15, 2018. Therefore, the parties agree that $1.8 billion represents the maximum amount of Capital Improvement Costs that the Metro System should be obligated to contribute to the Pure Water Program, the purpose of which is not solely the disposal of wastewater, but also the production ofRepurified Water. The parties agree that this$ 1.8 billion maximum contribution should apply whether or not the Point Loma WTP is actually upgraded to secondary treatment to meet legal requirements in the future because, as of the date of the Agreement, the parties have the option of upgrading the Point Loma WTP to full secondary treatment for the cost of approximately $1.8 billion. In light of the above, the parties have agreed that if Metro System costs related to the Pure Water Program exceed the$ 1.8 billion, City's Water Utility will pay a charge for each acre foot of secondary treated effluent produced by Metro System facilities and used for the production ofRepurified Water. 5.2 Capital Expense Rate. Under the circumstances described below, City's Water 60409.00001\30398144 16 4 Page 148 of 1137 City of Chula Vista - City Council January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda Utility shall pay a charge ("Capital Expense Rate") for each acre-foot of secondary treated effluent produced by Metro System facilities and used for the production ofRepurified Water. City's Water Utility shall pay the Capital Expense Rate if the following costs alone, or in combination, exceed $1.8 billion (which amount shall be adjusted for inflation): a) the sum of all Capital Improvement Costs and associated debt attributable to the Metro System components of the Pure Water Program under this Exhibit F; and/or b) the sum of all Capital Improvement Costs and associated debt for the full or partial upgrading of the Point Loma Wastewater Treatment Plant to secondary treatment. Notwithstanding the above, the Capital Expense Rate shall not apply if the Point Loma WTP is actually upgraded to secondary treatment (or beyond) due to: (a) a change in federal or state statutory law making it necessary to upgrade the Point Loma WTP to comply with such new discharge standard; or (b) a final decision by a state or federal court or a federal administrative agency of competent jurisdiction that an NPDES pennit modified under section 301(h) & (j)(5) of the Clean Water Act is thereby revoked or denied renewal due to a finding that the discharge from the Point Loma WTP violates anti-degradation rules or regulations promulgated under section 403 of the Clean Water Act. 5.3 Calculation of Capital Expense Rate. The amount per acre-foot of the Capital Expense Rate shall be determined as follows: The sum of all Capital Improvement Costs and associated debt attributable to (i) the Metro System components of the Pure Water Program under this Exhibit F and (ii) upgrading of the Point Loma WTP to secondary treatment (if any) less 1.8 billion, as adjusted for inflation each July I (starting on July I, 2019) to reflect the annual percentage change in the Engineering News Record --Los Angeles construction cost index multiplied by 1.42 (which estimates the total interest on a 30-year State Revolving Fund loan with an interest rate of2.5%) @nd divided_by The total number of acre feet per year of secondary treated effluent that is expected to be produced by Metro System facilities for the production ofRepurified Water over a period of thirty (30) years. The City shall estimate whether the Capital Expense Rate shall apply to the upcoming fiscal year (and its amount) prior to January 15 of each year, and the estimated amount of the Capital Expense Rate shall be effective on July I of the upcoming fiscal year. 60409.00001\30398144.16 5 Page 149 of 1137 City of Chula Vista - City Council January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda For purposes of this Article V of Exhibit F, Capital Improvement Costs and associated debt shall include such costs incurred by the Metro System prior to the effective date of the Agreement. 5.4 Year-End Adjustment At the end of each fiscal year during which the Capital Expense Rate applies, the City shall determine the actual Capital Improvement Costs and associated debt attributable to the Metro System components of the Pure Water Program under this Exhibit F and any upgrading of the Point Loma WTP to secondary treatment, the then-applicable interest amount for outstanding loans for the Metro System components of the Pure Water Program and Point Loma WTP upgrades, and the actual amount of secondary treated effluent produced by Metro System facilities and used for the production of Repurified Water. Based on the actual cost, interest, and effluent information, the City will recalculate the Capital Expense Rate for the prior fiscal year. The City will credit any future charges or bill for any additional amounts due the quarter after the prior year costs have been audited. 5.5 Duration; Expiration The duration and expiration of the Capital Expense Rate is set forth in Section 13 .4 of the Agreement. 60409.00001\30398144.16 6 Page 150 of 1137 City of Chula Vista -

The City and the Participating Agencies may be referred to herein individually as a “Party,” and collectively as the Parties.” WHEREAS, the City and the Participating Agencies (or their predecessors in interest) entered into that certain Regional Wastewater Disposal Agreement dated May 18, 1998 (the “1998 Agreement”), which provided, among other things, for certain contract rights to capacity in the Metropolitan Sewerage System, a system of wastewater conveyance, treatment, and disposal facilities (“Metro System”) and the establishment of a mechanism to fund the planning, design, construction, operation, and maintenance of the Metro System by the City and the Participating Agencies; and WHEREAS, the purposes of the 1998 Agreement were: (1) to replace the prior-existing sewage disposal agreements between the City and the Participating Agencies; (2) to provide certain contract rights to capacity in the Metro System to the Participating Agencies; (3) to establish a mechanism to fund the planning, design, construction, operation and maintenance of the Metro System by the City and the Participating Agencies as necessary to provide hydraulic capacity, and to comply with applicable law and with generally accepted engineering practices; and (4) to establish a system of charges which allocates the costs of the planning, design and construction of such new wastewater conveyance, treatment and disposal facilities as are necessary solely to provide for new capacity on a fair and equitable basis; and WHEREAS, on April 29, 2014 the San Diego City Council gave its approval and support for the Pure Water San Diego program by adoption of Resolution No. R-308906, which approved and supported the City’s efforts to develop an implementation strategy to offload wastewater flow from the Point Loma Wastewater Treatment Plant through implementation of potable reuse, resulting in effluent discharged to the Pacific Ocean being equivalent to what would be achieved by upgrading the Point Loma Wastewater Treatment Plant to a secondary treatment plant secondary equivalency); and Page 164 of 1137 City of Chula Vista - City Council January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda 2 - 10-23-25 4907-3419-6844 WHEREAS, the City is implementing a phased, multi-year program designed to achieve compliance with the Clean Water Act and regionally produce up to 83 million gallons per day of safe, reliable potable water using new, expanded, or modified facilities, some of which will include Metro System facilities, in order to achieve secondary equivalency at the Point Loma Wastewater Treatment Plant; and WHEREAS, the Pure Water Program will not only benefit the City by producing repurified water, but also the Participating Agencies and their wastewater customers, especially if secondary equivalency is recognized through federal legislation amending the Clean Water Act. Specifically, implementation of the Pure Water Program will reduce wastewater discharges to the Point Loma Wastewater Treatment Plant, part of the Metro System where a large portion of the Participating Agencies’ wastewater is currently treated and disposed by discharging it into the Pacific Ocean. By diverting wastewater from the Point Loma Wastewater Treatment Plant and reducing the effluent discharged into the Pacific Ocean, the City and the Participating Agencies will potentially avoid billions of dollars in unnecessary capital, financing, energy, and operating costs to upgrade the Point Loma plant to secondary treatment at full capacity. Avoiding such costs would result in significant savings for regional wastewater customers and achieve environmental benefits by reducing ocean discharge; and WHEREAS, on or around November 2019, the East County Advanced Water Purification Joint Powers Authority (the “ECAWP JPA”) was created to implement a potable reuse program to improve local and regional water supply reliability to supply advanced treated recycled water to East San Diego County through the East County Advanced Water Purification Project (the ECAWP Project”). The ECAWP Project is planned to capture and treat approximately 15 million gallons per day of wastewater that would otherwise be disposed of in the Metro System to produce an annual average supply of approximately 11.5 million gallons per day of new local drinking water. By diverting some wastewater and wastewater content away from the Metro System, the ECAWP Project has the ability to aid and contribute towards the City and region’s efforts to produce a regional annual average of up to 83 million gallons per day of water suitable for potable reuse by December 31, 2035, as described in the Cooperative Agreement in Support of Pure Water San Diego executed by the City and certain environmental stakeholders on December 9, 2014. The ECAWP Project includes a residuals bypass system that will convey RSDP (as defined herein) from the advanced water purification facility, and Centrate from the solids dewatering process of the solids handling facility, to an existing regional sewage gravity pipeline owned and operated by the City for treatment and disposal; and WHEREAS, effective on or around August 22, 2021, the City and the Participating Agencies amended the 1998 Agreement by executing an Amended and Restated Regional Wastewater Disposal Agreement (the “ARA”) to address the costs and revenues associated with Phase 1 of the Pure Water Program, including specific cost allocations related to the construction, expansion, and/or modification of Metro System facilities and Water Repurification System facilities designed to produce up to 30 million gallons per day of Repurified Water (“Phase 1”). The ARA provided that within one year of its effective date, the Parties intended to meet and negotiate in good faith regarding one or more amendments to the ARA or to its Exhibits to address multiple outstanding items described in Section 2.9 of the ARA; and Page 165 of 1137 City of Chula Vista - City Council January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda 3 - 10-23-25 4907-3419-6844 WHEREAS, Section 14.2 of the ARA provided that the Parties may amend the ARA by a written agreement between the City and all Participating Agencies stating the Parties’ intent to amend or supplement the agreement; and WHEREAS, in an effort to address in good faith the outstanding items described in Section 2.9 of the ARA, and comprehensively and equitably address the costs, revenues, and billing system associated with the Pure Water Program and the related construction, expansion, and/or modification of Metro System facilities beyond Phase 1, the City and Participating Agencies wish to amend and restate the ARA as provided herein.

No transfer may occur if the City reasonably determines, after consultation with the Participating Agencies involved, that the proposed transfer will imbalance or adversely impact the City’s ability to operate the Metro System. 2.2 Metro System Services. 2.2.1 The City shall provide wastewater conveyance, treatment and disposal services to the Participating Agencies through the Metro System, under the terms set forth in this Agreement. Page 172 of 1137 City of Chula Vista - City Council January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda 10 - 10-23-25 4907-3419-6844 2.2.2 The City shall operate the Metro System in an efficient and economical manner, maintaining it in good repair and working order, all in accordance with recognized sound engineering and management practices. 2.2.3 The City shall convey, treat, and dispose of or reuse all wastewater received under this Agreement in such a manner as to comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations. 2.3 Flow Commitment. 2.3.1 Subject to the provisions of this Agreement and absent a separate agreement of the Parties, all Flow within the capacity limits set forth in Exhibit B or any amendments or changes thereto shall remain in the Metro System. 2.3.2 This Agreement shall not preclude any Party from diverting Flow as a result of the construction of reclamation/reuse facilities or New Capacity outside of the Metro System. 2.3.3 Any Participating Agency may negotiate an agreement with the City to reduce all or part of their Contract Capacity. If a Participating Agency reduces its Contract Capacity to zero, that Participating Agency’s rights shall terminate under this Agreement and that Participating Agency shall no longer be considered a member of the Metro JPA. However, the agreement between the City and Participating Agency shall provide that the Participating Agency pays its proportionate share of Capital Improvement Costs for the remainder of the useful life of the facility(ies) constructed during the time the Participating Agency possessed Contract Capacity in the Metro System. This shall include, but is not limited to, any remaining portions of outstanding debt that was incurred for capital facilities during the time the Participating Agency had the right to send Flow into the Metro System, and the cost to disconnect the Participating Agency’s system from the Metro System. Any Contract Capacity that a Participating Agency chooses to relinquish under this section shall be treated as Pooled Capacity after the effective date of an agreement between the City and that Participating Agency. This section does not apply to Inter-Agency transfers of Contract Capacity, which involve the relinquished Contract Capacity being assigned to and assumed by another Participating Agency or the City. Inter-Agency transfers are governed by Section 3.2 2.3.4 Flow Projections. Currently, the Projected Future Strength and Flow Amounts are projected to the year 2050 in order to allow the Parties time to plan for future development and growth. However, these projections may be amended from time to time through the Exhibit B amendment processes in this Agreement to more fairly align with actual flow and strength data. The parties shall begin discussion to recalculate the Projected Future Strength and Flow Amounts set forth in Exhibit B by no later than January 1, 2040. 2.4 Funding Obligations. The City shall fund the acquisition, construction, maintenance and/or operation of the Metro System from monies in (or sewer revenues which populate) the Sewer Revenue Fund for the Metro System, and/or from construction funds derived from the sale of duly authorized sewer revenue bonds for the Metro System.

Any such receipts attributable to the Metro System components of the Pure Water Program shall be allocated among Page 186 of 1137 City of Chula Vista - City Council January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda 24 - 10-23-25 4907-3419-6844 the City and the Participating Agencies in the proportions set forth in Exhibit B Fixed Capacity amounts. Page 187 of 1137 City of Chula Vista - City Council January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda 25 - 10-23-25 4907-3419-6844 5.7.4 The City shall bill the Participating Agencies quarterly, invoicing on August 1, November 1, February 1 and May 1. Each bill shall be paid within thirty (30) days of mailing. Quarterly payments will consist of the total estimated cost for each Participating Agency, based on their estimated Flow, Strength, and Fixed Capacity Charges, divided by four. 5.7.5 At the end of each fiscal year, the City shall determine the actual Metro System Costs and the actual Metered Flow as well as the cumulative Strength data for the City and each of the Participating Agencies. The City shall make any necessary adjustments to the unit rates for Flow and Strength such as COD, TSS and Fixed Capacity Charges based on actual costs for the year as determined through the annual audit process in Section 5.8.2 of this Agreement. The City shall then recalculate the FAB rate for the year using actual audited costs for the year, actual Metered Flow, Residuals, MBC Return, cumulative Strength factors, and Fixed Capacity Charges for the City and for each Participating Agency. The City shall credit any future charges or bill for any additional amounts due against the quarter after the prior year costs have been audited. 5.8 Financial Statements. 5.8.1 The City shall keep records and accounts of all costs and expenses relating to conveyance, treatment, disposal, and reuse of wastewater, and production of Repurified Water, and the acquisition, planning, design, construction, administration, monitoring, operation and maintenance of the Metro System and Water Repurification System, and any grants, loans, or other revenues received therefor.

The City retains the sole right to determine the timing and amount of debt financing required to provide Metro System Facilities. The annual debt service plus in- progress Capital Improvement Costs to maintain capacity in and of the Metro System shall be allocated to the Participating Agencies consistent with the Exhibit B Contract Capacity allocations effective on the date the debt is issued. If a Participating Agency wishes to prepay Capital Improvement Costs, and the City is able to accommodate such a request, then a Participating Agency may prepay their proportional share of Capital Improvement Projects. If a Participating Agency wishes to withdraw or reduce their Flows and/or Strengths from the Metro System per Page 188 of 1137 City of Chula Vista - City Council January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda 26 - 10-23-25 4907-3419-6844 Section 2.3.3 of this Agreement, such agency will remain responsible for its pro-rata share of all outstanding debt incurred at the time the debt was issued until it is satisfied, irrespective of withdrawal, reduction in Flows and/or Strengths, or Agreement expiration. If the City refunds debt, it shall allocate such refunds consistent with the Exhibit B Contract Capacity allocations effective on the date the debt was issued. Exhibit C, Administrative Protocol on Allocation of Operating Reserves and Debt Service Coverage to Participating Agencies, which exhibit may be amended from time to time consistent with Section 5.11. 6. FINANCE, BUDGETING, AND ACCOUNTING: PURE WATER PROGRAM COST ALLOCATION AND REVENUES – PHASE 1 Page 189 of 1137 City of Chula Vista - City Council January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda 27 - 10-23-25 4907-3419-6844 6.3.1.3 Costs for the demolition or replacement of existing Metro System facilities with similar facilities for the purpose of making space available for Water Repurification System facilities. Such costs may consider the current asset value or market value of the existing Metro System facility. 6.3.2 Cost Exclusions Specific to North City Water Reclamation Plant Improvements: 6.3.2.1 Costs for increased aeration tank volume to the extent the new volume exceeds the amount necessary to provide 52 MGD capacity. Determination of sizing to provide 52 MGD capacity shall be based on the current tank volume necessary to provide 30 MGD capacity. 6.3.2.2 Costs for the methanol feed system. 6.3.2.3 Costs for RSDP disposal, including, but not limited to, pump stations, pipelines, retreatment, ocean outfall, and monitoring. 6.3.2.4 Costs for the use of existing tertiary water filters for Repurified Water purposes. Such costs may consider the depreciated value of such filters or use such other appropriate valuation methods as agreed by the City and authorized representatives of the Metro JPA. Costs under this section shall be reimbursed or credited by City’s Water Utility to the Metro System. 6.4 North City Water Reclamation Plant Improvement Costs Included as Metro System Costs. Notwithstanding the above exclusions, the City and the Participating Agencies have specifically agreed that the following Capital Improvement Costs and Operation and Maintenance Costs related to North City Water Reclamation Plant improvements shall be included as Metro System Costs for purposes of calculating the annual FAB rate (and therefore not qualify as City Water Utility PW Costs): 6.4.1 Costs for chemically enhanced primary treatment for up to 52 MGD capacity. 6.4.2 Costs for primary effluent equalization for up to 52 MGD capacity. 6.4.3 Costs for increased volume of aeration tanks that will provide up to, but not exceeding, 52 MGD capacity. 6.4.4 Costs to add secondary clarifier tanks sufficient for up to 52 MGD capacity. 6.4.5 Costs for wastewater conveyance facilities to provide wastewater for replacement of Centrate flows that cannot be treated at the North City Water Reclamation Plant due to the production of Repurified Water. 6.4.6 Costs for treatment and conveyance of all MBC Return (micro-filtration and tertiary backwash) based on Flow, COD, and TSS. Page 190 of 1137 City of Chula Vista - City Council January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda 28 - 10-23-25 4907-3419-6844 6.5 Reallocation of PWP Costs incurred since FY 2014. 6.5.1 The allocation of Pure Water Program costs, retroactive to June 30, 2014, will be calculated the year the Agreement goes into effect, will be completed no less than two fiscal years following the production of 30 MGD by Phase 1 of the Pure Water Program. 6.5.1.1 All the O&M task orders, or costs that cannot be directly assigned to a PWP Phase 1 capital improvement project such as program management, environmental documents, etc., will be reallocated by the final water/wastewater cost split, and will include interest accruing since June 2014 at the interest rate earned by the City of San Diego for each applicable fiscal year as shown by the sample interest calculation included in Exhibit G, Sample of Interest Calculation. This postpones the reconciliation of costs until the substantial completion of all construction projects for Phase 1 (City Water Utility PW Costs and Metro). This reconciliation will be performed during the audit of the fiscal year in which substantial completion of all projects occurs. 6.5.1.2 All Phase 1 PWP CIP projects were bid and awarded by October 2022 which is FY2023. All shared Phase 1 CIP projects will be reallocated to the actual construction cost split once the project is awarded, and the cost loaded CPM is completed and negotiated between the City and the Participating Agencies during the FY2023 audit. All CIP soft costs incurred since 2014 will be reallocated like the O&M task orders during the audit of the year of substantial completion of the actual Phase 1 CIP projects. If interest is owed to the Metro System for soft costs starting in FY 2014, such interest shall be considered Metro System Revenues consistent with Section 5.5.5. 6.6 Revenue Sharing for Repurified Water. 6.6.1 Background. Initially, the Parties anticipate that the cost per acre foot associated with the production of Repurified Water will be more expensive than the cost per acre foot of untreated imported water. However, it is anticipated that Repurified Water produced under Phase 1 will be less expensive than untreated imported water sometime in the future. Once Repurified Water produced under Phase 1 becomes less expensive than the cost of untreated imported water, the Parties agree that there will be revenue from the Pure Water Program. 6.6.2 Calculation. Revenue sharing shall occur in each fiscal year during which the annual cost per acre foot associated with the production of Repurified Water is less than the cost of untreated water per acre foot from the San Diego County Water Authority (“CWA”). The annual cost difference shall be known as “Repurified Water Revenue.” Repurified Water Revenue shall be determined as follows: Page 191 of 1137 City of Chula Vista - City Council January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda 29 - 10-23-25 4907-3419-6844 Annual cost per acre foot of CWA untreated water purchased by the City for delivery at Miramar Reservoir (which shall be determined based on the total costs for water actually billed to the City by CWA for water delivered at Miramar Reservoir in a fiscal year, divided by the number of acre-feet of CWA water delivered at Miramar Reservoir that year) less Annual cost per acre-foot of City Water Utility PW Costs (which shall be determined based on total annual City Water Utility PW Costs divided by the number of acre-feet of Repurified Water actually produced in that year) the result of which is multiplied by The number of acre feet of Repurified Water produced by Pure Water Program facilities during the applicable fiscal year. Exhibit H, Summary of Billings from County Water Authority Showing Costs for Untreated Water, is a summary of the most recent CWA rate structure and cost allocations to the City of San Diego for untreated water. The Parties agree that Exhibit H shall be referred to by the Parties in the future in determining how costs for water delivered at Miramar Reservoir are calculated. If no untreated water is delivered at Miramar Reservoir in a given year, then the closest point of delivery of untreated water to the City shall be used. The City shall annually update Exhibit H to reflect the most recent CWA rate structure and cost allocations to the City of San Diego. The City shall estimate whether there will be Repurified Water Revenue in the upcoming fiscal year prior to January 15 of each year, and these amounts shall be incorporated into the budget estimates for the upcoming fiscal year to all Parties. 6.6.3 Revenue Sharing. Repurified Water Revenue shall initially be shared between the City’s Water Utility and the Metro System based on the relative actual Capital Improvement Costs for the Pure Water Program contributed by City’s Water Utility and the Metro System. Such Capital Improvement Cost contributions are currently estimated as 62% City’s Water Utility and 38% Metro System. The Metro System’s portion of the Repurified Water Revenue shall be applied to debt attributable to the Metro System first, until the debt attributable to the Metro System is fully paid. Following full payment of debt attributable to the Metro System, Repurified Water Revenue shall be shared based on the relative actual Operation and Maintenance Costs for Pure Water Program facilities contributed by City’s Water Utility and the Metro System, calculated annually. Such Operation and Maintenance Costs are currently estimated as 76% City’s Water Utility and 24% Metro System on an annual basis. Page 192 of 1137 City of Chula Vista - City Council January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda 30 - 10-23-25 4907-3419-6844 In all instances referred to in this Section 6.6.3, the Metro System portion of the Repurified Water Revenue shall be allocated among the City and the Participating Agencies consistent with Section 4.4.2. 6.6.4 Year-End Adjustment. At the end of each fiscal year during which there is Repurified Water Revenue, the City shall determine the actual cost per acre foot of CWA untreated water purchased by the City, the actual cost per acre foot of City Water Utility PW Costs, and the actual amount of Repurified Water produced at Pure Water Program facilities. Based on the actual cost and production information, the City will recalculate the Repurified Water Revenue for the prior fiscal year. The City will credit any future charges or bill for any additional amounts due the quarter after the prior year costs have been audited. 6.6.5 Change in Potable Reuse Method. The Parties acknowledge that the Pure Water Program Phase 1 will initially use indirect potable reuse surface water augmentation. The use of CWA untreated water costs in calculating Repurified Water Revenue is intended to provide an appropriate point of comparison to costs for producing Repurified Water that will be introduced into surface water. The Parties agree that if the City desires to implement direct potable reuse (in which Repurified Water would be introduced directly into a water supply pipeline or facility), the Parties shall meet and negotiate in good faith regarding an amendment to this Section 6.6, to appropriately update the formula for Repurified Water Revenue, which form of amendment shall occur via an Administrative Agreement and shall be subject to the Joint Administrative Approval Process set forth in Section 15. 6.7 Capital Expense Rate. 6.7.1 Background. The Point Loma Wastewater Treatment Plant operates under a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (“NPDES”) permit modified under section 301(h) & (j)(5) of the Clean Water Act. If such modified permit were ever revoked or not renewed, the Parties agree that, under current law, the City would have an obligation to upgrade the PLWTP to secondary treatment. The Parties further agree that $1.8 billion is a fair and comprehensive estimation of the costs that could be incurred by the Metro System to meet the legal requirements related to the Metro System under current law. The estimate of $1.8 billion is based on the net present value of the capital cost to develop 180 MGD of secondary treatment at PLWTP as of November 15, 2018. Therefore, the Parties agree that $1.8 billion represents the maximum amount of Capital Improvement Costs that the Metro System should be obligated to contribute to the Pure Water Program, the purpose of which is not solely the disposal of wastewater, but also the production of Repurified Water. The Parties agree that this $1.8 billion maximum contribution should apply whether or not the PLWTP is actually upgraded to secondary treatment to meet legal requirements in the future because, as of the date of the Agreement, the Parties have the option of upgrading the PLWTP to full secondary treatment for the cost of approximately $1.8 billion. In light of the above, the Parties have agreed that if Metro System costs related to the Pure Water Program exceed the $1.8 billion, City’s Water Utility will pay a charge for each acre foot Page 193 of 1137 City of Chula Vista - City Council January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda 31 - 10-23-25 4907-3419-6844 of secondary treated effluent produced by Metro System facilities and used for the production of Repurified Water. Capital Expense Rate”) for each acre-foot of secondary treated effluent produced by Metro System facilities and used for the production of Repurified Water. The Capital Expense Rate costs or revenues attributable to the Metro System shall be assessed or credited consistent with Section 4.4.2. City’s Water Utility shall pay the Capital Expense Rate if the following costs alone, or in combination, exceed $1.8 billion (which amount shall be adjusted for inflation): less the result of which is multiplied by the result of which is divided by Page 194 of 1137 City of Chula Vista - City Council January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda 32 - 10-23-25 4907-3419-6844 The total number of acre feet per year of secondary treated effluent that is expected to be produced by Metro System facilities for the production of Repurified Water over a period of thirty (30) years. The City shall estimate whether the Capital Expense Rate shall apply to the upcoming fiscal year (and its amount) prior to January 15 of each year, and the estimated amount of the Capital Expense Rate shall be effective on July 1 of the upcoming fiscal year. For purposes of this Section 6.7.3, Capital Improvement Costs and associated debt shall include such costs and revenue incurred by the Metro System prior to the effective date of the Agreement. 6.7.4 Year-End Adjustment. At the end of each fiscal year during which the Capital Expense Rate applies, the City shall determine the actual Capital Improvement Costs and associated debt attributable to the Metro System components of the Pure Water Program under this Section 6 and any upgrading of the PLWTP to secondary treatment, and the actual amount of secondary treated effluent produced by Metro System facilities and used for the production of Repurified Water. Based on the actual cost, interest, and effluent information, the City will recalculate the Capital Expense Rate for the prior fiscal year. The City will credit any future charges or bill for any additional amounts due the quarter after the prior year costs have been audited. 6.7.5 Duration; Expiration. The Capital Expense Rate shall continue until the cost difference between (a) the actual sum of Pure Water Program Capital Improvement Costs and associated debt attributable to the Metro System under Section 6.7 and/or the costs to upgrade the PLWTP and (b) $1.8 billion (as adjusted for inflation), has been fully paid, or the Agreement expires, whichever is sooner. Notwithstanding, it is the express intent and desire of the City and the Participating Agencies that if the Agreement expires before the cost difference has been paid through the Capital Expense Rate, that the Capital Expense Rate continue in any extension of this Agreement negotiated by the Parties pursuant to Section 14.2 until the cost difference has been fully paid. 6.8 Amending Pure Water Program Cost Allocation and Revenues – Phase 1. Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.6.2, the Parties may amend any provision in this Section 6 regarding the Finance, Budgeting, and Accounting for the Pure Water Program Cost Allocation and Revenues for Phase 1 in an Administrative Agreement subject to the Joint Administrative Approval Process set forth in Section 15. 7. FINANCE, BUDGETING, AND ACCOUNTING: PURE WATER PROGRAM COST ALLOCATION AND REVENUES – PHASE 2 7.1 Pure Water Program – Phase 2. The Second Phase of the Pure Water Program Phase 2”) shall create up to an additional 53 MGD of Repurified Water at Phase 2 facilities. The Parties agree to incorporate all terms relating to Phase 2 into this Agreement through an Administrative Agreement subject to the Joint Administrative Approval Process set forth in Section 15, subject to the requirements set forth in this Section 7 below.

Costs Excluded from Metro System Costs for Phase 2 shall be identified in an Administrative Agreement subject to the Joint Administrative Approval Process and approvals set forth in Section 15. However, the Administrative Agreement must reflect that all of the following PWP Phase 2 costs, including Capital Improvement Costs, Operation and Maintenance Costs, and other related costs (including administration, insurance, claims, and overhead) shall be excluded from Metro System Costs for the purposes of calculating the annual Phase 2 FAB rate, and shall be City Water Utility PW Costs: 7.2.1 Costs of the Phase 2 Water Repurification System and any Metro System facilities to the extent constructed, modified, expanded, or used for the purpose of treating water beyond secondary treatment (ocean discharge standard under current law). This shall include costs for preliminary treatment, primary treatment, and secondary treatment to the extent such costs are higher than they would otherwise be due to the production of Phase 2 Repurified Water. 7.2.2 Costs for fail-safe disposal, if necessary, for design capacity for Phase 2 Repurified Water, including, but not limited to, any costs associated with the reservation of capacity at the Point Loma Wastewater Treatment Plant. 7.2.3 Costs for the demolition or replacement of existing Metro System facilities with similar facilities for the purpose of making space available for Phase 2 Water Repurification System facilities. Such costs may take into account the current asset value or market value of the existing Metro System facility. 7.2.4 Costs for the Phase 2 methanol feed system. 7.2.5 Costs for Phase 2 RSDP disposal including, but not limited to, pump stations, pipelines, retreatment, ocean outfall, and monitoring. 7.2.6 50% of the costs for the MBR Tanks and system for Phase 2. 7.2.7 All membrane integrity monitoring systems for Phase 2. 7.2.8 All Phase 2 systems downstream of MBR’s. 7.3 Revenue Sharing for Repurified Water – Phase 2. Terms regarding revenue sharing for Repurified Water for Phase 2 shall be identified in an Administrative Agreement subject to the Joint Administrative Approval Process set forth in Section 15. However, this Administrative Agreement must reflect terms related to Phase 2 revenue sharing for Repurified Water that conceptually mimic those terms set forth in Section 6.6. The Metro System portion of the Repurified Water Revenue for Phase 2 shall be allocated among the City and the Participating Agencies consistent with Section 4.4.2, as may be amended or updated to account for changes in PWP Phase 2. 7.4 Capital Expense Rate – Phase 2. Terms regarding the Capital Expense Rate for Phase 2 shall be identified in an Administrative Agreement subject to the Joint Administrative Approval Process and approvals set forth in Section 15. However, this Administrative Agreement Page 196 of 1137 City of Chula Vista - City Council January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda 34 - 10-23-25 4907-3419-6844 must reflect terms that conceptually mimic the terms in Section 6.7, reflecting a continuation of the Capital Expense Rate through Phase 2 up until the PWP achieves up to 83 MGD of Repurified Water, taking into account production of water suitable for potable reuse occurring at all treatment processes for wastewater upstream from and at the PLWTP. The Pure Water Program Capital Expense Rate costs or revenues attributable to the Metro System shall be assessed or credited consistently with Section 4.4.2, as may be amended or updated to account for changes in PWP Phase 2. 8. FUTURE NEGOTIATIONS AND COOPERATION 9. THE METRO COMMISSION Establishment and Membership. The 1998 Agreement created and established and the ARA reestablished) the Metro Commission as a commission consisting of one representative from each Participating Agency. On October 25, 2000, the Participating Agencies entered into a Joint Exercise of Power Agreement which created a separate public entity, the Metro Wastewater Joint Powers Authority (“Metro JPA”), for the purpose, among others, of taking responsibility, actions, and making decisions pertaining to the 1998 Agreement on behalf of the Participating Agencies. The Metro Commission and the Metro JPA are and shall hereinafter be treated as one and the same entity for all intents and purposes under this Agreement, including for the purpose of accepting and executing the responsibilities delegated to the Metro JPA in this Agreement. Each Participating Agency shall have the right to appoint a representative of its choice to the Metro Commission/Metro JPA, and the Participating Agency’s appointee to the Metro Commission shall also serve as that Participating Agency’s representative on the Metro JPA Board of Directors. If a Participating Agency is a dependent district whose governing body is that of another independent public agency, that Participating Agency shall be represented on the Metro Commission/Metro JPA by a representative appointed by the governing body which shall have no more than one representative no matter how many Participating Agencies it governs. Each member has one vote in any matter considered by the Metro Commission/Metro JPA. The Metro Commission/Metro JPA shall establish its own meeting schedule and rules of conduct. The City may participate in the Metro Commission on an ex officio, non-voting basis. To the extent this Agreement expands or amends the powers or purposes set forth in the Metro JPA Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement, the Participating Agencies expressly agree to such expansion or amendment consistent with the terms of this Agreement.

Page 227 of 1137 City of Chula Vista - City Council January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda Last Updated: 5/29/2025 EXHIBIT E METHODOLOGY FOR CONTRACT CAPACITY TRANSFERS The following exhibit describes the methodology for transferring contract capacities from the Metro Pooled Capacity (summarized in the table below) to a Party’s contract capacity defined in Exhibit B. POOLED CAPACITY Average Flow, mgd Incremental Peak1, mgd TSS, 1,000 lbs. COD, 1,000 lbs. After Phase 1 Pure Water 0 102 96,820 27,521 After Phase 2 Pure Water 10 20 96,820 27,521 1. At Point Loma WWTP 2. Assume system storage If a transfer of contract capacity is initiated as set forth in Section 4.4.3.1, capacity will be taken from the Pooled Capacity and added to the Party in need of additional capacity. Thereafter, the above table of Pooled Capacity will be updated with the subject column reduced, and Exhibit B will be updated with the subject Party’s contract capacity correspondingly increased. In lieu of transferring average flow capacity from the Pooled Capacity to a Party, the Party can choose to transfer Incremental Peak Flow Capacity to Average Flow Capacity keeping Total Allowable Flow the same, assuming the Party would still have sufficient Total Allowable Flow Capacity for their peak flows. If a transfer of contract capacity as set forth in Section 4.4.3.2, the reverse shall occur and the subject Party’s contract capacity will be reduced in Exhibit B and the Pooled increased. In lieu of transferring average flow capacity to the Pooled Capacity from a Party, the Party can choose to transfer Average Flow Capacity to Incremental Peak Flow Capacity keeping Total Page 228 of 1137 City of Chula Vista - City Council January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda Last Updated: 5/29/2025 Allowable Flow the same, if they anticipate needing their current Total Allowable Flow for their peak flows. The remainder of this Exhibit has examples of how these transfers would be performed and the estimated effect on a Party’s share of Metro System Costs under the FAB Billing System. Please note Metro System costs will change from time to time as well as Contract Capacities per Exhibit B, so the following are only examples and not meant to be exact. These examples are based on Exhibit B as of the signing of this agreement, not necessarily the last revision of this exhibit. These examples are currently based on FY24 unaudited costs and estimated FY27 billing units.

These costs will be allocated 1 year after substantial completion of Pure Water Phase 1, as part of the annual Audit of Metro costs Projected to be annual audit of metro activity for Fiscal Year 2026). The City will prepare a yearly update to the calculator as part of the preparation for the yearly metro audit. Column Description: Cost Included (Column C)(50/50 POs) from 2014 to 2022 and have been included as part of each yearly audit of Metro JPA Pure Water costs. This sheet is prepared by the City and reviewed by the JPA's consultants on a yearly basis to determine samples for the Pure Water O&M costs. After awarding of all Pure Water construction contracts, new costs will use an updated percentage based on actual awarded construction contracts. This date will be called out on the purchase order sheet and a new line on the calculator will be added to track the change in percent allocation. Open purchase orders using the 50/50 split will be separated on the calculator sheet until they are fully spent, closed or amended to the new split. Original Splits % (Column D & E)These columns split the total costs of the 50/50 POs based on their original share between the water and Metro funds. This establishes each funds initial share of the costs Original Share (Column F & G)These columns split the total costs in Column C by the percentages in Columns D and E. This column uses Metro funds final share of Phase 1 costs, as a percentage of total project costs, and applies it to costs included in Column C. This represents the actual share of costs based on the final allocation costs. This column takes the difference between the initial splits for Metro (Column F) and the Metro post allocation share (Column H). These are the new expenditures from that fiscal year subject to the interest calculation. Running Metro Balance Subject to This column takes any prior year balance in Column J, the prior year accrued interest in Column K and adds the new expenditures from Column I. This is the total balanced Interest (Column J)used to calculate each year's interest owed. Yearly Interest Earnings (Column K)This column takes the annual interest earnings shown in Column M and assumed monthly compounding of Metro balance in Column J. Compounding period is consistent with the City's monthly interest earnings paid on City funds. Estimated PA share (Column L)This column estimates the portion of interest earnings that is expected to be credited to the Participating Agencies. Individual Agencies will be credited during the audit following one year after the substantial completion of Pure Water Phase 1. Agencies will be credited at weighted average of costs from 2014 to one year after substantial completion of Phase 1, based on the PA's individual annual percent share of Metro costs. Annual Interest Rate (Column M)This column shows the annual percent returns on funds invested by the City Treasurer. This is based on the Treasurers annual return on investments as invested under the City's investment policy. This is the rate used to calculate yearly interest owed. Notes This calculator was designed to account for the time value of money related to (50/50 POs). If additional Phase 1item (CIP expenses, Revenue, etc.) need to account for the time value of money, the assumptions used in Columns I-K will remaining consistent in those calculations. Columns C through H and the associated percentages used will be adapted to fit the types of costs being allocated.

Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting any Participating Agency from enforcing its own Pretreatment ordinance within its jurisdiction, nor shall this agreement require the City to accept a delegation of authority to enforce a Pretreatment ordinance adopted by a Page 277 of 1137 City of Chula Vista - City Council January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda - 9 - 10-23-25 4932-9907-9020 Participating Agency that is more stringent or contains different requirements than the City’s. Notwithstanding the delegation of authority to City, each Participating Agency retains authority to implement and enforce its own ordinance and to contract with other agencies for such purposes, including without limitation through a joint powers agreement. However, such enforcement shall be in cooperation and coordination with the City and shall not interfere with City’s enforcement. Participating Agencies shall be solely responsible for enforcement of Discharges of FOG and Food Establishments within their service areas. In the event a Participating Agency adopts an ordinance more stringent than City’s, the Participating Agency may enforce the ordinance itself, or negotiate and enter into a separate agreement with City under which City will enforce the Participating Agency’s ordinance; provided, however, that any added costs of such enforcement will be borne by the Participating Agencies adopting the ordinance and shall not be borne by City or the other Participating Agencies. If the authority of City to act as agent of a Participating Agency is challenged by any person in a manner which may restrict or prevent City from performing the permitting, inspection, monitoring or enforcing of applicable provisions of law, the Participating Agency will cooperate in good faith with City and take such actions as are reasonably necessary to ensure effective implementation and enforcement of the Participating Agency’s ordinance and this Administrative Agreement. COSTS FOR INDUSTRIAL WASTE CONTROL PROGRAM. City shall, not less often than every 5 years, adopt resolutions establishing fees, costs, charges and fines sufficient to recover the full cost of carrying out the Industrial Pretreatment and Source Control Program. City shall directly bill Industrial Users to recover the costs and charges of the Industrial Pretreatment and Source Control Program, with additional billings sent directly to Industrial Users as needed for any enforcement costs (including related monitoring) incurred by City. Permit Fees”). Page 278 of 1137 City of Chula Vista - City Council January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda - 10 - 10-23-25 4932-9907-9020 (b) If, at the end of a Fiscal Year, the actual Total Program Costs are determined to have exceeded the total amounts collected from Industrial Users’ Costs, Trucked Waste Costs, and General Benefit Costs, the remaining costs for that fiscal year shall be allocated to the City and the Participating Agencies with Industrial Users within their jurisdiction, in proportion to the total Permit Fees charged to Industrial Users in each Party’s jurisdiction compared to the total amount of Permit Fees charged for all Industrial Users for the applicable fiscal year. For example, if the Permit Fees charged for Industrial Users in the City of San Diego is $2,000,000, and the Permit Fees charged to all Industrial Users in that same fiscal year was $4,000,000 then fifty-percent (50%) of the remaining costs for that fiscal year ($2,000,000/$4,000,0000) will be allocated to the City of San Diego. The remaining Participating Agencies shall pay their respective proportionate shares according to the same methodology (Permit Fees charged for Industrial Users in the Participating Agencies Jurisdiction divided by the total Permit Fees charged for the fiscal year). See the table attached hereto as Attachment B for a more complete example. (c) City shall seek, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to ensure that Industrial Users’ Costs shall be paid for entirely by the Industrial Users regulated under the ordinances of City and Participating Agencies, through permit fees, fines, administrative penalties, inspection fees and other cost recovery mechanisms provided for under the ordinances of City and Participating Agencies, as applicable. However, this section is not intended to prevent the City from approving Industrial User fees based on a cost of service study that phases in fee increases to mitigate significant fee spikes, which may not be fully cost recoverable for a specific fiscal year as further discussed in subsection 10(h) below. (d) Periodically, but no less often than every five (5) years, City shall cause to be performed a cost-of-service study or other appropriate study to ensure that permit fees, fines, administrative penalties, inspection fees and other cost recovery mechanisms, including General Benefit costs, are sufficient to fully fund the Industrial Pretreatment and Source Control Program. The City will work with Metro JPA staff as part of this process in advance of any presentation to the Metro Commission or the San Diego City Council. The costs of this study shall be allocated based on the results of the study as either programmatic or administrative costs. (e) The City will bring a yearly update to the Metro Commission, after the release of the City’s Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR), that provides an update on the program and will include recorded revenues and expenses for the completed year. (f) City will provide notice of fee structure changes in accordance with the requirements of City’s Municipal Code as well as applicable state rules. (g) City will make a good faith effort to conduct outreach to Industrial Users regarding potential changes to the program fees. (h) If the City proposes a fee structure for Industrial User fees based on a cost of service study that is not fully cost recoverable for a fiscal year (or years) that are part of the study in order to phase-in or mitigate significant fee increases for Industrial Users, the City will provide a presentation to the Metro Commission on the proposed fees and how it would impact the Page 279 of 1137 City of Chula Vista - City Council January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda - 11 - 10-23-25 4932-9907-9020 calculation in Sections 10(a) and 10(b) above. If the Metro Commission takes a vote regarding the proposed fee structure, City staff will provide that information to the City Council for the City Council’s consideration at the time the proposed fees are before the City Council for adoption, however, the City Council may choose to adopt the fee or not, in accordance with its legislative authority. If the fees adopted based on a cost of service study are set at an amount intended to recover the full cost of carrying out the Industrial Pretreatment and Source Control Program over the study period (but not to exceed five (5) years), no Participating Agency shall have a claim against the City for a failure to adopt fully cost recoverable fees. TERMINATION OF INDIVIDUAL PRETREATMENT AGREEMENTS. Any and all previously approved “Interjurisdictional Pretreatment Agreements” between City and any Participating Agency shall be terminated on the Effective Date of the SARA. PERMIT OBLIGATIONS CONTINUE. Nothing herein shall be construed to relieve any Industrial User to the Metro System of the responsibility to obtain a permit for, and to comply with rules and regulations applicable to Industrial Users to the Metro System. LIABILITIES. If a third-party liability, penalty or fine arises relating to City’s operation of this Industrial Pretreatment and Source Control Program, then all costs arising from the liability, penalty or fine shall be directly passed through to the Industrial User(s) found to be responsible for the liability, penalty or fine. If the Industrial User(s) responsible for the liability, penalty or fine cannot be ascertained or identified, or if the Industrial User(s) initiates bankruptcy proceedings or is declared bankrupt, then the liability, penalty or fine shall be absorbed as part of the Total Program Costs, and shall be allocated among the City and the Participating Agencies in accordance with the methodology described in Section 10(b). The Participating Agencies shall not be responsible for any liability, penalty or fine, or portion thereof, that arises from City’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. DELEGATION OF AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION AUTHORITY TO METRO COMMISSION. The Participating Agencies hereby delegate to the Metro Commission the authority to approve, by a vote of no less than two-thirds of the members of the Metro Commission at a duly noticed public meeting (in other words, upon the affirmative vote of no less than eight of the twelve members of the Metro Commission, irrespective of how many Metro Commissioners are present at the meeting), any amendments or supplements to this Administrative Agreement, including, if necessary, termination of this Administrative Agreement.

Recommended Action Place an ordinance on first reading reducing the speed limits on First Avenue between ‘E’ Street and ‘L’ Street and Second Avenue between ‘C’ Street and ‘L’ Street from 30 MPH to 25 MPH and amending Schedule X of the Register maintained in the office of the City Engineer to reflect the amended speed limits. (First Reading) SUMMARY Staff completed a review of roadway segments based on Engineering and Traffic Surveys (E&TS) prepared in accordance with the California Vehicle Code (CVC) that have since initially expired and may qualify as a residence or business district. According to the CVC, a prima facie speed limit of 25 mph can be posted on road segments in business or residence districts without an E&TS provided that the road meets the criteria for a business or residence district. Therefore, staff recommends that the existing posted speed limits on First Avenue between ‘E’ Street and ‘L’ Street (the “First Avenue Segment”) and Second Avenue between ‘C’ Street and ‘L’ Street (the “Second Avenue Segment”; collectively the “Segments”) of 30 mph be reduced to 25 mph based on them meeting criteria for a residence district (see Attachment 1, Location Plat). 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 Page 286 of 1137 City of Chula Vista - City Council January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda P a g e | 2 pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 Class 1 (Existing Facilities), because the proposed project 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it has also been determined that the activity qualifies for an Exemption pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines. Thus, no further environmental review is required. BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION The Traffic Safety Commission, at their meetings on August 14, 2025 and October 9, 2025, voted to concur with staff’s recommendation to reduce the existing 30 mph speed limit on the Segment to a prima facie speed limit of 25 mph based on meeting the definition of a residence district for First Avenue Segment and Second Avenue Segment, respectively (Attachment 2). DISCUSSION The California Vehicle Code (CVC) establishes minimum and maximum prima facie speed limits for all streets in the State. The minimum default prima facie speed limit is 25 miles per hour (MPH) and the maximum speed limit is 65 MPH. An engineering and traffic survey (E&TS) is required to change the prima facie limit and/or update various speed limits in the City. The CVC requires that local agencies review changes in local speed limits every five to seven years to determine whether the existing street segment speed limits require updates due to the age of the engineering and traffic survey or due to changes in roadway and traffic conditions. In addition, the CVC sets a prima facie speed limit of 25 MPH on roads in business or residence districts. The definitions for business and residence districts in the CVC have a few caveats, but generally, the CVC defines a residence district as a road with at least 13 separate dwellings on one side within a quarter mile or at least 16 separate dwelling houses on both sides within a quarter mile. Physical Conditions The following summarizes the conditions along the First Avenue Segment:  Classification – Class II Collector  Length/Width – 1.71 miles and 38’ to 40’ wide  Average Daily Traffic: 2,935  Number of Lanes: Two travel lanes (one per direction)  Existing Speed Limit – 30 mph  Striping – Double yellow centerline  Parking – Parking is allowed along both sides  Horizontal Alignment – Straight  Fronting Dwellings per ¼ Mile (135/1.71 mi) – 19.7  Longest Uninterrupted Segment – 0.46 miles The following summarizes the conditions along the Second Avenue Segment:  Classification – Class II Collector  Length/Width – 2.21 miles and 38’ to 40’ wide Page 287 of 1137 City of Chula Vista - City Council January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda P a g e | 3  Average Daily Traffic: 7,195  Number of Lanes: Two travel lanes (one per direction)  Existing Speed Limit – 30 mph (25 mph D street to E Street for Senior Zone)  Striping –Double yellow centerline  Parking – Parking is allowed along both sides  Horizontal Alignment – Straight  Fronting Dwellings per ¼ Mile (204/ 2.21 mi) – 23.1  Longest Uninterrupted Segment – 0.48 miles (through Senior Zone) The Segments include more than 16 dwellings per quarter mile, which meets the definition of a residence district per the CVC. In addition, because both Segments are 40 feet or less wide, have one travel lane in each direction, and have not more than one half mile of uninterrupted length along their entire lengths, they meet the definition of local roads per the CVC. Therefore, the Segments as residence districts should not be considered “speed traps” in accordance with the CVC. Community Outreach Public outreach for this item included presentation to and consideration by the Traffic Safety Commission at its meetings on August 14, 2025 and October 9, 2025. In addition to the publication of the Commission agendas online, the meetings were further advertised at major entry points to the affected area. 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 Segments which are 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 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 establishment of the speed limit requires the posting of new speed limit signs and speed limit legends on the subject Segments. This minor work will be incorporated into the existing Capital Improvement Project TRF0332, Signing and Striping Program. Sufficient funding is available within the project budget to cover the costs, ensuring no additional fiscal impact for the current year. ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT Regular maintenance of the speed limit pavement legends is required every 5 to 7 years, while signage maintenance occurs every 12 to 15 years. These ongoing costs will be incorporated into the annual budget development process in future years. ATTACHMENTS 1.

According to the CVC, a prima facie speed limit of 25 mph can be posted on road segments in business or residence districts without an E&TS. Therefore, staff recommends that the existing posted speed limit on First Avenue between ‘E’ Street and ‘L’ Street (the “Segment”) of 30 mph be reduced to 25 mph based on it being a residence district (see Attachment 1, Location Map). RECOMMENDATION: That the Traffic Safety Commission reduce the existing 30 mph speed limit on the Segment to a prima facie speed limit of 25 mph based on meeting the definition of a residence district. DISCUSSION: The California Vehicle Code (CVC) establishes minimum and maximum prima facie speed limits for all streets in the State. The minimum default prima facie speed limit is 25 miles per hour (MPH) and the maximum speed limit is 65 MPH. An engineering and traffic survey E&TS) is required to change the prima facie limit and/or update various speed limits in the City. The CVC requires that local agencies review changes in local speed limits every five to seven years to determine whether the existing street segment speed limits require updating due to the age of the engineering and traffic survey or due to changes in roadway and traffic conditions. In addition, the CVC sets a prima facie speed limit of 25 MPH on roads in business or residence districts. The definitions for business and residence districts in the CVC have a few caveats, but generally, the CVC defines a residence district as a road with at least 13 separate dwellings on one side within a quarter mile or at least 16 separate dwelling houses on both sides within a quarter mile. Page 294 of 1137 City of Chula Vista - City Council January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda Page 2, Item _ 5.2__ Meeting Date 08/14/25 Physical Conditions The following summarizes the conditions along the Segment: Classification – Class II Collector Length/Width – 1.71 miles and 38’ to 40’ wide Average Daily Traffic: 2,935 Number of Lanes: One travel lane (1 per direction) Existing Speed Limit – 30 mph Striping – Two lanes of traffic Parking – Parking is allowed along both sides Horizontal Alignment – Straight Fronting Dwellings per ¼ Mile (135/1.71 mi) – 19.7 Longest Uninterrupted Segment – 0.46 miles The Segment includes more than 16 dwellings per quarter mile, which meets the definition of a residence district per the CVC. In addition, because the entire Segment is 40 feet or less wide, has one traffic lane in each direction, and has not more than one half mile of uninterrupted length, it meets the definition of a local road per the CVC. Therefore, the Segment as a residence district cannot be considered a “speed trap” in accordance with the CVC. CONCLUSION: When speed limits are appropriately established the following objectives are achieved: Meaningful, unambiguous enforcement Voluntary public compliance Clear identification of the unreasonable violator Elimination of unjustifiable “tolerances” of higher speed travel Should the City Council reduce the speed limit to 25 mph, Schedule X of the register maintained in the office of the City Engineer be amended to reflect the speed limit decrease: First Avenue between ‘E’ Street and ‘L’ Street, reduced speed limit from 30 mph to 25 mph. FISCAL IMPACT: The establishment of the speed limit would require the posting of new speed limit signs and speed limit pavement legends. This work will be funded by an existing Traffic Engineering Capital Improvement Project, TRF-0332, Signing and Striping Program. Attachments: 1.

According to the CVC, a prima facie speed limit of 25 mph can be posted on road segments in business or residence districts without an E&TS. Therefore, staff recommends that the existing posted speed limit on Second Avenue between ‘C’ Street and ‘L’ Street (the “Segment”) of 30 mph be reduced to 25 mph based on it being a residence district (see Attachment 1, Location Map). RECOMMENDATION: That the Traffic Safety Commission reduce the existing 30 mph speed limit on the Segment to a prima facie speed limit of 25 mph based on meeting the definition of a residence district. DISCUSSION: The California Vehicle Code (CVC) establishes minimum and maximum prima facie speed limits for all streets in the state. The minimum default prima facie speed limit is 25 miles per hour (MPH) and the maximum speed limit is 65 MPH. An engineering and traffic survey E&TS) is required to change the prima facie limit and/or update various speed limits in the City. The CVC requires that local agencies review changes in local speed limits every five to seven years to determine whether the existing street segment speed limits require updating due to the age of the engineering and traffic survey or due to changes in roadway and traffic conditions. In addition, the CVC sets a prima facie speed limit of 25 MPH on roads in business or residence districts. The definitions for business and residence districts in the CVC have a few caveats, but generally, the CVC defines a residence district as a road with at least 13 separate dwellings on one side within a quarter mile or at least 16 separate dwelling houses on both sides within a quarter mile. Page 298 of 1137 City of Chula Vista - City Council January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda Page 2, Item _ 5.1__ Meeting Date 10/09/25 Physical Conditions The following summarizes the conditions along the Segment: Classification – Class II Collector Length/Width – 2.21 miles and approx. 38’ to 40’ wide Average Daily Traffic: 7,195 Number of Lanes: One travel lane (1 per direction) Existing Speed Limit – 30 mph (25 mph D Street to E Street for Senior Zone) Striping – Two lanes of traffic Parking – Parking is allowed along both sides Horizontal Alignment – Straight Fronting Dwellings per ¼ Mile (204/2.21 mi) – 23.1 Longest Uninterrupted Segment – 0.48 miles (through Senior Zone) The Segment includes more than 16 dwellings per quarter mile, which meets the definition of a residence district per the CVC. In addition, because the entire Segment is 40 feet or less wide, has one traffic lane in each direction, and has not more than one half mile of uninterrupted length, it meets the definition of a local road per the CVC. Therefore, the Segment as a residence district cannot be considered a “speed trap” in accordance with the CVC. CONCLUSION: When speed limits are appropriately established the following objectives are achieved: Meaningful, unambiguous enforcement Voluntary public compliance Clear identification of the unreasonable violator Elimination of unjustifiable “tolerances” of higher speed travel Should the City Council reduce the speed limit to 25 mph, Schedule X of the register maintained in the office of the City Engineer be amended to reflect the speed limit decrease: Second Avenue between ‘C’ Street and ‘L’ Street, reduced speed limit from 30 mph to 25 mph. FISCAL IMPACT: The establishment of the speed limit would require the posting of new speed limit signs and speed limit pavement legends. This work will be funded by an existing Traffic Engineering Capital Improvement Project, TRF-0332, Signing and Striping Program. Attachments: 1.

This inclusion applies to the scope of work defined in the State of California Wage Determination for Surveyors and/or Building/Construction Inspectors and/or Field Soils and Material Testers (Inspectors). This shall also specifically include such work where it is referred to by utilization of such terms as “quality control” or “quality assurance.” Every Surveyor and Inspector performing under these classifications on Covered Work pursuant to a professional services agreement directly with a Contractor shall be bound to all applicable requirements of this Agreement regardless of the manner in which the work was awarded.

Any work performed on, near, or leading to or into a site of work covered by this Agreement and undertaken by state, county, city or other governmental bodies, or their contractors (other than work within the scope of this Agreement undertaken by Contractors to the City) or by private utilities, or their contractors; and (e) Offsite Work. All offsite manufacturing, fabrication, deliveries, maintenance, and handling of materials, equipment, or machinery, and the offsite hauling of materials of any kind to or from the Covered Project site. However, any laydown or storage areas for equipment or material and manufacturing (i.e., prefabrication) sites dedicated solely for the Covered Project, onsite fabrication, and the movement of materials or goods between locations on a Covered Project Site are within the scope of this Agreement. Onsite fabrication work includes work performed for the Covered Project in temporary yards or areas near the Covered Project. Onsite construction shall also include the site of any batch plant constructed solely to supply materials to the Covered Project; and (f) Manufacturer and Vendor Employees. Work performed by employees of a manufacturer or vendor on the manufacturer’s or vendor’s equipment, if required by the warranty agreement in order to maintain the warranty or guarantee, and provided that the warranty agreement is the manufacturer’s or vendor’s usual and customary warranty agreement for such equipment and is consistent with industry practice. Any work to be excluded pursuant to this subsection shall be identified and discussed at the relevant pre-job conference. Upon request from the Trades Council, City shall review with the vendor whether installation or application may be performed pursuant to the terms of the Agreement without affecting the status of the warranty; and (g) Specialized or Technical Work. Specialized or technical work requiring specialized training, unique skills, or a level of specific technical experience which employees represented by the Unions do not possess, including but not limited to electrical utility and water utility work on high voltage utility equipment, water well construction, Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) or other computerized equipment, and other specialty utility construction work. At least ten (10) Working Days’ notice shall be given to the Trades Council prior to any work being performed pursuant to this exemption; and (h) Insufficient Number of Bids. Contracts for which there are less than three (3) unrelated, qualified bidders (two (2) for ready-mix concrete), with five (5) Working Days’ written notice to the Business Manager for the Trades Council prior to bids being due that a sufficient number of bids have not been received. This provision shall not apply unless City has: i) provided written notice of the Docusign Envelope ID: F2B1A451-4B15-4EEA-B618-612264FE68C1 Page 335 of 1137 City of Chula Vista - City Council January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda 8 solicitation of bids to at least three (3) contractors (two (2) for ready-mix concrete) that are signatory to a Master Labor Agreement of the Union that has jurisdiction over the work and to such Union concurrently with the first bid solicitation at least twenty-one (21) days in advance of the deadline for receipt of bids; ii) provide the bid specifications, information and bidding requirements directly to any additional union-signatory contractors that the Union has requested receive the bid specifications; iii) established the same bid specifications and requirements for any non-union signatory contractor submitting a bid as were established for any Union- signatory contractor, whether or not the non-union is submitted after City has successfully invoked the provisions of this section due to failure to receive three (3) bids (two (2) for ready-mix concrete); and iv) established bid specifications and requirements that are consistent with City’s usual and customary bidding process and industry practice in the San Diego region; and (i) Substantial Impracticality or Inefficiency. The City may exclude any work constituting a Covered Project upon a 4/5 vote of its City Council finding and determining that said work as a Covered Project would result in a substantial inefficiency or impracticality; and (j) Substantially Exceeds Engineer’s Estimate. If the lowest responsive and responsible bid exceeds the engineer’s estimate by thirty-five percent (35%) or more, the City reserves the right to reject all bids and readvertise the contract not as a Covered Project or Covered Contract and not subject to this PLA. This exemption cannot be invoked more than twice in any calendar year to exclude a Covered Project or a Covered Contract from the scope of the PLA; and (k) Laboratory testing work; and (l) Emergency Work. 2.5 Awarding of Contracts. (a) Each Union shall provide the Project Labor Coordinator a list of signatory Contractors, whose principal place of business is within the geographic jurisdiction of the City and that routinely perform work within the scope of the Covered Work in such area. The Union shall specify the type of work that such Contractor performs and may amend the list as necessary. City and any Prime Contractor that contracts Covered Work to another Contractor shall solicit bids from at least two (2) Contractors on the applicable Union’s list for the Covered Work, provided such Contractors meet any applicable City pre-qualification criteria. The solicitation of bids shall be based upon the same terms, conditions, and scope of work requested of all potential bidders. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, City has the absolute right to bid or award Covered Contracts regardless of delivery method to any Contractor, notwithstanding the existence or non-existence of any agreements between such Contractor and any Union, provided only that such Contractor is willing, ready, and able to execute a Letter of Assent as set forth in Exhibit A hereto, and comply with this Agreement in performance of the Covered Work. (b) It is agreed that all Contractors awarded Covered Work shall be required to accept and be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Contractors shall Docusign Envelope ID: F2B1A451-4B15-4EEA-B618-612264FE68C1 Page 336 of 1137 City of Chula Vista - City Council January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda 9 evidence their acceptance of this Agreement by executing a Letter of Assent as set forth in Exhibit A hereto. The Prime Contractor must sign and submit the Letter of Assent as a condition of award prior to the execution of a Covered Contract. No Contractor shall commence Covered Work without first providing a copy of the signed Letter of Assent to the Project Labor Coordinator. (c) It is agreed that, to the extent permitted by law and consistent with the economy and efficiency of construction and operation, City and Contractors will use best efforts to purchase materials, equipment, and supplies that will not create labor strife. Under all circumstances, however, City and Contractors shall retain the absolute right to select Contractors for the award of contracts and subcontract s on all Covered Projects. 2.6 Master Labor Agreements. (a) Conflicts Between Agreements. The provisions of this Agreement, including the Master Labor Agreements, shall apply to the Covered Work, notwithstanding the provision of any other local, area, and/or national agreement that may conflict with or differ from the terms of this Agreement. In the event of any inconsistency between a Master Labor Agreement and this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail. In the event that this Agreement is silent on a matter that is addressed in a Master Labor Agreement, the provisions of the Master Labor Agreement shall apply.

Thereafter, all additional employees in the affected trade or craft shall be requested and referred from the appropriate Union hiring hall in accordance with this Article. (b) Registration Required. Section 5.3 only applies to Contractors who are not directly signatory to a current Master Labor Agreement for the craft worker in its employ and is not intended to limit the transfer provisions of the Master Labor Agreement of any trade. As part of this process, and in order to facilitate the contract administration procedures, as well as appropriate fringe benefit fund coverage, all Contractors shall require their Core Employees and any other persons employed other than through the referral process, to register with the appropriate Union hiring hall, if any, prior to their first day of employment working under the Covered Contract at the Covered Project Site. The registration process shall be administered by the Contractors and Union reasonably, but without impacting the Covered Project schedule. (c) List to be Provided.

(c) Priority of Local Hires. The Contractors and Unions agree that Tier 1 Local Hires shall be first referred for Covered Projects.

(d) Disadvantaged Worker Goal. The Contractors and Unions agree to work together to achieve a goal of at least thirty percent (30%) of the total construction craft hours work on each Covered Project being performed by Disadvantaged Workers.

Contractors shall satisfy the goals set forth in Sections 5.4(b), 5.4(d), and 5.4(e) by: (i) assigning craft Core Employees who are Local Hires, Disadvantaged Workers, and/or Apprentices to perform Covered Work; and (ii) if necessary, requesting referral of Local Hires from Union hiring halls (using the Workforce Dispatch Request Form) and Apprenticeship Programs. Contractors who follow these procedures in good faith and with concerted efforts to identify and retain Local Hires, Disadvantaged Workers, and Apprentices shall not be considered in non-compliance for failure to meet the goals set forth in Sections 5.4(b), 5.4(d), and 5.4(e). (g) Workforce Dispatch Request Form Required. To facilitate the dispatch of Local Hires, as well as all Contractor requests for referral and dispatch of workers from the applicable Union referral system, all Contractors are required to utilize the Workforce Dispatch Request Form. When Local Hires are requested by a Contractor, the Unions will refer Local Hires, to the extent such status is known, regardless of their place in the Union hiring halls’ list and normal referral procedures. 5.5 Time for Referral. If any Union’s registration and referral system does not fulfill the requirements for specific classifications of covered employees requested by any Contractor within forty - eight (48) hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and Holidays), those Contractors may use employment sources other than Core Employees and the Union registration and referral services and may employ applicants from any other available source. The Contractor shall promptly notify the Union of any applicants hired from other sources, and such applicants shall register with the appropriate hiring hall, if any. 5.6 Lack of Referral Procedure. If a signatory local Union does not have a job referral system as set forth in Section 4.3 above, the Contractor shall give the Union equal opportunity to refer applicants in conformance with remaining provisions of this Article 5. The Contractors shall notify the Union of employees so hired, as set forth in Section 5.5. 5.7 City to Monitor Compliance. The Project Labor Coordinator shall work with the Unions and Contractors in the administration, monitoring, and reporting of the foregoing Local Hire and Disadvantaged Worker hiring goals. 5.8 Union Membership. Employees are not required to become or remain union members as a condition of performing Covered Work under this Agreement. Contractors shall make and transmit all deductions for union dues, fees, and assessments that have been authorized by employees in writing in accordance with the applicable Master Labor Agreement.

The selection and number of craft foremen and/or general foremen shall be the responsibility of the Contractor, consistent with the Master Labor Agreements. All foremen shall take orders exclusively from the designated Contractor representatives. Craft foremen shall be designated as working foreman at the request of the Contractors.

Each Contractor performing work on a Covered Project is required to utilize a skilled and trained workforce, as defined in Public Contract Code § 2600 - 2603. Unions and Contractors shall utilize the grievance procedures set forth in Article 11 of this Agreement to resolve any disputes regarding skilled and trained workforce requirements. To the maximum extent permissible under state law and regulation, including California Public Utilities Code § 132354.7(a)(3), Contractors and City shall be relieved of reporting and enforcement obligations and systems described in Public Contract Code § 2602 and 2603, and Contractors’ requirement to utilize a skilled and trained workforce shall instead by monitored and enforced by Unions and Contractors through the provisions of this Agreement.

Authorized representatives of the Union shall have access to Covered Project Sites, provided that they do not interfere with the work of employees and further provided that such representatives fully comply with posted visitor, security, and safety rules. 6.2 Stewards. (a) Stewards Authorized. Each signatory local Union shall have the right to dispatch a working journeyperson as a steward for each shift and shall notify the Contractor in writing of the identity of the designated steward or stewards prior to the assumption of such person’s duties as steward. Such designated steward or stewards shall not exercise any supervisory functions. There will be no non- working stewards. Stewards will receive the regular rate of pay of their respective crafts. (b) Steward Purview. In addition to their work as an employee, the steward shall have the right to receive, but not to solicit, complaints or grievances and to discuss and assist in the adjustment of the same with the employee’s appropriate supervisor. Each steward should be concerned only with the employees of the steward’s Contractor and not with the employees of any other Contractor. The Contractor shall not discriminate against the steward in the proper performance of their Union duties. (c) Additional Stewards. When a Contractor has multiple, non-contiguous work locations at one site, the Contractor may request, and the Union shall appoint such additional working stewards as the Contractor requests to provide independent coverage of one or more such locations. In such cases, a steward may not service more than one work location without the approval of the Contractor. (d) No Overtime Determinations. The stewards shall not have the right to determine when overtime shall be worked or who shall work overtime. 6.3 Steward Layoff/Discharge. The Contractor agrees to notify the appropriate Union twenty- four (24) hours before the layoff of a steward, except in the case of disciplinary discharge for just cause. If the steward is protected against such layoff by the provisions of the applicable Master Labor Agreement, such provisions shall be recognized when the steward possesses the necessary qualifications to perform the remaining work. In any case in which the steward is discharged or disciplined for just cause, the appropriate Union will be notified immediately by the Contractor, and such discharge or discipline shall not become final (subject to any later filed grievance) until twenty-four (24) hours after such notice has been given.

On work where the personnel of the City or its contractors may be working in close proximity to the construction activities covered by this Agreement on non-covered projects, the Union agrees that the Union representatives, stewards, and individual workers will not interfere with City personnel, or with personnel employed by any other employer not performing Covered Work. Violation of this provision by stewards and individual workers shall be just cause for disciplinary discharge. Violation of this provision by Union representatives shall constitute a material violation of this Agreement. ARTICLE 7. WAGES AND BENEFITS 7.1 Wages.

(c) Certification Required. Each Contractor is required to certify to the Project Labor Coordinator that it has paid all benefit contributions due and owing to the appropriate Union trust(s) and benefit funds prior to the receipt of its final payment and/or retention.

If the craft(s) involved do not return to work by the beginning of the next regularly scheduled shift following such eight (8) hour period after receipt of the arbitrator’s award, and the respondent Union(s) have not complied with their obligations to immediately instruct, order, and use their best efforts to cause a cessation of the violation and return the employees they represent to work, then the non-complying Union(s) shall each pay a sum as liquidated damages to the City, and each will pay an additional sum per shift, as set forth in Section 8.8(c), below, for each shift thereafter on which the craft(s) has/have not returned to work. (b) Lockout. If the arbitrator determines that a Lockout has occurred on a Covered Project, the respondent Contractor shall, within eight (8) hours after receipt of the award, return all the affected employees to work on the Covered Project , or otherwise correct the violations found by the arbitrator. If the respondent Contractor does not take such action by the beginning of the next regular scheduled shift following the eight (8) hour period, each non-complying respondent Contractor shall pay or give as liquidated damages, to the affected Union (to be apportioned among the affected employees and the benefit funds to which contributions are made on their behalf, as designated by the arbitrator) an amount equal to the total hourly wages and benefits lost for all affected employees of the Contractor on Covered Projects. In addition, the Contractor shall pay an additional sum per shift to the City, as set forth in Section 8.8(c), below, for each shift thereafter in which compliance by the respondent Contractor has not been achieved. (c) Payment of Liquidated Damages to City. The Parties agree that project delays caused by violations of this Article 8 will cause the City to sustain damages. They agree that it would be impractical or extremely difficult to fix the amount of such damages. Therefore, the Parties agree that, in the event of a breach of this Article, the disputing Party in breach shall pay to the City the sum of $10,000 per shift, from the time that the arbitrator determines that a delay has occurred until the arbitrator determines that the Covered Project is no longer disrupted. The payment of liquidated damages, when made, shall constitute a damages remedy of the City for the delay specified, but shall not prevent the City from seeking an injunctive or other monetary relief, including termination of this Agreement. Payment of these sums as liquidated damages is not intended as a forfeiture or penalty within the meaning of California Civil Code § 3275 or 3369, but instead, is intended to constitute liquidated damages to the City pursuant to California Civil Code § 1671. 8.9 Payroll and Benefit Delinquencies. Notwithstanding other provisions of this Agreement, it shall not be a violation of this Agreement for any Union to withhold the services of its members from a Contractor who fails to timely pay its weekly payroll in accordance with the applicable Master Labor Agreement or fails to make timely payments to the applicable Union benefit funds.

Upon payment of all monies due and owing for wages, the Union shall direct its members to immediately return to work and the Contractor shall return all such members to work. (b) Failure to Contribute to Benefit Funds. Prior to withholding its members’ services for the Contractor’s failure to make timely payments to the applicable Union benefit funds, the Union shall give at least thirty (30) calendar days written notice of such failure to pay by certified mail or email transmission, to the involved Contractor, the Prime Contractor, and the Project Labor Coordinator. The Prime Contractor, together with the involved Contractor and the affected Union, shall meet within five (5) Working Days after the written notice of such failure to pay was sent to attempt to resolve the delinquency. If the delinquency remains unresolved, then the affected Union may withhold the services of its members from the involved Contractor. Upon payment by the delinquent Contractor of all monies due and then owing for employee benefit contributions, the Union shall direct its members to immediately return to work and the Contractor shall return all such members back to work. (c) Grievance Rights Reserved.

ARTICLE 23. AMENDMENTS 23.1 Amendments.

These sacrifices have not gone unnoticed. The State and various local agencies, whether city or county, have enacted certain programs to assist Disabled Veterans and provide them with opportunities to participate in the procurement of State and local contracts. Such programs are called "Disabled Veterans Business Enterprise" programs. Similar programs also exist for small businesses. Small businesses tend to be economic drivers of local economies, so their growth is an important aspect of the success and growth of communities. However, small businesses often don't have sufficient understanding of government contracting practices to participate in a meaningful way in the government contracting process, so agencies have established "Small Business Enterprise" programs. PURPOSE It is the purpose of this Council Policy to establish a Disabled Veterans Business Enterprise and Small Business Enterprise Program to facilitate and encourage the participation of Disabled Veterans Business Enterprises (DVBEs) and Small Business Enterprises (SBEs) in City contracting through the establishment of DVBE and SBE participation goals. By including DVBE and SBE participation goals in City contracts, the City will be able to ensure that DVBEs and SBEs are provided with the opportunities, information, and encouragement to participate in City procurement. POLICY The City of Chula Vista has the authority to establish and adopt such a policy pursuant to the Charter of the City of Chula Vista. It is the policy of the City of Chula Vista to encourage the utilization and participation of DVBEs and SBEs in City procurements whenever practical and appropriate. To this end and to the extent not in conflict with other laws, the City Council, through this Policy, establishes a three-percent (3%) DVBE and three-percent (3%) SBE participation goal for all City contracts within the scope of this policy and authorizes the City Manager or his/her designee to establish procedures to implement this policy. I.Scope A.General Application: Excepting those contracts identified in subsection B, below, this policy shall apply to all (1) agreements, contracts, and purchase orders for commodities, services, supplies, or equipment awarded in accordance with Chula Vista Municipal Code §2.56; and (2) Public Works contracts awarded in accordance with City Charter §1009, provided such contracts are funded to the extent of 50% or more of their total costs from City funds.

Accordingly, the Parties agree that in order to enhance the safety of the workplace and to maintain a drug and alcohol-free work environment, individual Contractors shall require applicants or employees to undergo drug and alcohol testing in accordance with this PLA and this policy, Exhibit D – Drug and Alcohol Testing Policy, hereafter the “Policy.” 1.It is understood that the use, possession, transfer, or sale of illegal drugs, narcotics, or other unlawful substances, as well as being under the influence of alcohol and the possession of or consuming alcohol is absolutely prohibited while employees are on the Contractor’s job premises or while working on any jobsite in connection with work performed under the PLA. 2.No Contractor may implement a drug and alcohol testing program that does not conform in all respects to the provisions of this Policy. 3.No Contractor may implement drug and alcohol testing at any jobsite unless written notice is given to the Union setting forth the location of the jobsite, a description of the project under construction, and the name and telephone number of the Prime Contractor's project manager. Said notice shall be provided at the pre-job conferences for each Covered Project. Failure to give such notice shall make any drug and alcohol testing engaged in by the Contractor a violation of the Agreement and subject to the Article 11 grievance procedure. 4.A Contractor who elects to implement drug and alcohol testing pursuant to this Policy shall require all craft employees on the Covered Project to be tested. With respect to individuals who become employed on the Covered Project subsequent to the proper implementation of a valid drug and alcohol testing program, such test shall be administered upon the commencement of employment on the project, whether by referral from a Union Dispatch Office, transfer from another project, or another method. Individuals who were employed on the project prior to proper implementation of a valid drug and alcohol testing program may only be subjected to testing for the reasons set forth in paragraphs 5(g)(l) through 5(g)(3) and paragraphs 6(a) through 6(e) of this Policy. Refusal to undergo such testing shall be considered sufficient grounds to deny employment on the project. 5.The following procedure shall apply to all drug and alcohol testing: a.The Contractor may request urine samples only. The applicant or employee shall not be observed when the urine specimen is given. An applicant or employee, at his or her sole option, shall, upon request, receive a blood test in lieu of a urine test. No employee of the Contractor shall draw blood from a bargaining unit employee, touch or handle urine specimens, or in any way become involved in the chain of custody of urine or blood specimens. A Union business representative, subject to the approval of the individual applicant or employee, shall be permitted to accompany the applicant or Docusign Envelope ID: F2B1A451-4B15-4EEA-B618-612264FE68C1 Page 370 of 1137 City of Chula Vista - City Council January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda D-2 employee to the collection facility to observe the collection, bottling, and sealing of the specimen. b. A Contractor may request an applicant or employee promptly, within four (4) hours of the Contractor’s request, perform an alcohol breathalyzer test at a certified laboratory only, and cutoff levels shall be those mandated by applicable state or federal law. c. The testing shall be done by a laboratory approved by the Substance Abuse & Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), which is chosen by the Contractor and the Union. d. An initial test shall be performed using the Enzyme Multiplied Immunoassay Technique (EMIT). In the event a question or positive result arises from the initial test, a confirmation test must be utilized before action can be taken against the applicant or employee. The confirmation test will be by Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS). Cutoff levels for both the initial test and confirmation test will be those established by SAMHSA and this Policy. Should these SAMHSA levels be changed during the course of the PLA or new testing procedures are approved, then these new regulations will be deemed as part of this existing PLA. Confirmed positive samples will be retained by the testing laboratory in secured long-term frozen storage for a minimum of one (1) year. Handling and transportation of each sample must be documented through strict chain-of-custody procedures. e. In the event of a confirmed positive test result, the applicant or employee may request, within forty-eight (48) hours, a sample of his/her specimen from the testing laboratory for purposes of a second test to be performed at a second laboratory, designated by the Union and approved by SAMHSA. The retest must be performed within ten (10) calendar days of the request. Chain of custody for this sample shall be maintained by the Contractor between the original testing laboratory and the Union's designated laboratory. Retesting shall be performed at the applicant’s or employee’s expense. In the event of conflicting test results, the Contractor may require a third test, at the Contractor’s expense. f. If, as a result of the above testing procedure, it is determined that an applicant or employee has tested positive, this shall be considered sufficient grounds to deny the applicant or employee his/her employment on the project. g. No individual who tests negative for drugs and alcohol pursuant to the above procedure and becomes employed on the project shall again be subjected to drug and alcohol testing with the following exceptions: 1) Employees who are involved in industrial accidents resulting in damage to plant, property, or equipment or injury to him/her or others may be tested for drugs or alcohol pursuant to the procedures stated hereinabove. Docusign Envelope ID: F2B1A451-4B15-4EEA-B618-612264FE68C1 Page 371 of 1137 City of Chula Vista - City Council January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda D-3 2) The Contractor may test employees following thirty (30) days' advance written notice to the employee(s) to be tested and to the applicable Union. Notice to the applicable Union shall be sent by certified mail to the affected Union with a copy to the Project Labor Coordinator. Such testing shall be pursuant to the procedures stated hereinabove. 3) The Contractor may test an employee where the Contractor has reasonable cause to believe that the employee is impaired from performing his/her job. Reasonable cause shall be defined as being aberrant or unusual behavior, the type of which is a recognized and accepted symptom of impairment (e.g., slurred speech, unusual lack of muscular coordination). Such behavior must be actually observed by at least two (2) persons, one (1) of whom shall be a supervisor who has been trained to recognize the symptoms of drug and alcohol abuse or impairment and the other of whom shall be the Job Steward. If the Job Steward is unavailable or there is no Job Steward on the Covered Project, the other person shall be a member of the applicable Union’s bargaining unit. Testing shall be pursuant to the procedures stated hereinabove. Employees who are tested pursuant to the exceptions set forth in this paragraph and who test positive will be removed from the Contractor's payroll. h. Applicants or employees who do not test positive shall be paid for all time lost while undergoing drug and alcohol testing. Payment shall be at the applicable wage and benefit rates set forth in the applicable Union’s Master Labor Agreement. Applicants who have been dispatched from the Union and who are not put to work pending the results of a test will be paid waiting time until such time as they are put to work. It is understood that an applicant must pass the test as a condition of employment. Applicants who are put to work pending the results of a test will be considered probationary employees. 6. The Contractors will be allowed to conduct periodic jobsite drug and alcohol testing on the Covered Project under the following conditions: a. The entire jobsite must be tested, including any employee or subcontractor's employee who worked on that project three (3) Working Days before or after the date of the test; b. Jobsite testing cannot commence sooner than fifteen (15) Working Days after start of the work on the project; c. Prior to start of periodic testing, a Business Representative will be allowed to conduct an educational period on company time to explain periodic jobsite testing program to affected employees; d. Testing shall be conducted by an SAMHSA-certified laboratory, pursuant to the provisions set forth in paragraph 5 hereinabove. e. Only two (2) periodic tests may be performed in a twelve (12)-month period.

It is understood that the unsafe use of prescribed medication, or where the use of prescribed medication impairs the employee's ability to perform work, is a basis for the Contractor to remove the employee from the jobsite. 8. Any grievance or dispute that may arise out of the application of this Policy shall be subject to the grievance and arbitration procedures set forth in the PLA. 9. The establishment or operation of this Policy shall not curtail any right of any employee found in any law, rule, or regulation. Should any part of this Policy be found unlawful by a court of competent jurisdiction or a public agency having jurisdiction over the Parties, the remaining portions of the Agreement shall be unaffected, and the Parties shall enter negotiations to replace the affected provision. 10. Present employees, if tested positive, shall have the prerogative for rehabilitation program at the employee’s expense. When such program has been successfully completed, the Contractor shall not discriminate in any way against the employee. If work for which the employee is qualified exists, he/she may be reinstated. 11. The Contractor agrees that results of urine and blood tests performed hereunder will be considered medical records held confidential to the extent permitted or required by law. Such records shall not be released to any persons or entities other than designated Contractor representatives and the applicable Union. Such release to the applicable Union shall only be allowed upon the signing of a written release by the employee, and the information contained therein shall not be used to discourage the employment of the individual applicant or employee on any subsequent occasion. 12. Employees who seek voluntary assistance for substance abuse may not be disciplined for seeking such assistance. Requests from employees for such assistance shall remain confidential and shall not be revealed to other employees or management personnel without the employee's consent. Employees enrolled in substance abuse programs will be subject to all Contractor rules, regulations, and job performance standards with the understanding that an employee enrolled in such a program is receiving treatment for an illness. 13. The Contractor shall indemnify and hold the Union harmless against any and all claims, demands, suits, or liabilities that may arise out of the application of this Policy. 14.

GGV0271 & GGV0272) Report Number: 26-0018 Location: Civic Center Library, 365 F Street, Chula Vista, CA 91910, and South Library, 389 Orange Avenue, Chula Vista, CA 91911 Department: Engineering G.C. § 84308 Regulations Apply: Yes Environmental Notice: The Project qualifies for a Categorical Exemption pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act State Guidelines Section 15301 Class 1 (Existing Facilities). Recommended Action Adopt a resolution awarding a Progressive Design-Build contract between the City and BNBuilders, Inc. for design and construction of Civic Center Library Infrastructure Renovation and South Library Infrastructure Renovation Projects (CIP Nos. GGV0271 & GGV0272). SUMMARY The City was awarded a grant through the Building Forward Library Facilities Improvement Program. The equity-based grant program helps pay for capital projects for public library buildings that address critical maintenance needs, improve energy efficiency and sustainability, extend digital access, and expand physical access to library facilities. The Department of Engineering and Capital Projects issued a Request for Qualifications and Proposals (RFP/RFQ) from qualified Design-Build entities from which BNBuilders Inc. was selected as the Design-Build entity that would provide the best value based on the selection criteria set forth in the RFP/RFQ. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The proposed project has been reviewed for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and it has been determined that the project qualifies for a Categorical Exemption pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 Class 1 (Existing Facilities), because the proposed project would not result Page 381 of 1137 City of Chula Vista - City Council January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda P a g e | 2 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 Not applicable. DISCUSSION Civic Center and South Library branches require major interior and exterior renovations in order to meet the evolving needs of the community and staff. The renovations planned for this project include modernization and/or repairs to electrical systems, HVAC, plumbing, finishes, elevator, lighting and asbestos abatement. To help address these needs City staff applied for the Building Forward Library Facilities Improvement Program grant through the Californian State Librarian. The Building Forward Program is the largest single investment made by the state in California’s public libraries. The equity -based grant program helps pay for capital projects for public library buildings that address critical maintenance needs, improve energy efficiency and sustainability, extend digital access, and expand physical access to library facilities. On October 9, 2023, the City received notice from the California State Librarian of intent to award two grants under this program of $9,735,000 each for the Civic Center Library and South Library totaling $19,470,000. On December 5th, 2023, the City Council of the City of Chula Vista passed a resolution authorizing the grant application, acceptance, and execution of the grant funds and appropriating the funds for the Civic Center Library and South Library project via Resolution 2023-190. Staff determined that the delivery method best suited to this project is Progressive Design-Build. Progressive Design-Build is a delivery method where the initial contract includes design and preconstruction fees, but does not contain a construction price. The Design-Build team works collaboratively with the City to develop a final design and scope within project budget. Once the design is sufficiently developed, the Design-Build Entity solicits bids from suppliers and trade contractors. The Design-Builder then evaluates and selects the bids based on best value with input from the City and proposes a guaranteed maximum construction price (GMP) for construction cost. The construction scope of work and cost is then incorporated to the contract by change order. On September 23, 2025, the City issued a Request for Qualifications and Proposals (Project-Specific RFP/RFQ) from Design-Build Entities pursuant to Chapter 2.57 of the City's Municipal Code for the design and construction of the Civic Center Library and South Library project. On October 4, 2025, proposals were received from seven companies: BNBuilders Inc., CORE West, Inc., EC Constructors Inc., Edwards Construction Group Inc., McCarthy Building Companies, Inc., Rudolph and Sletten, Inc., and Suffolk Construction Company Inc. The selection process set out in the RFQ/RFP was followed. Upon evaluation of the proposals and statements of qualifications by a panel of staff from the Engineering, Public Works, and Library Departments, five proposers’ scores qualified them to move on to the interview and reference check phase of selection. Engineering staff conducted interviews of the five selected proposers on December 18 and 22, 2025. The proposers’ references were evaluated by Engineering staff and the fee proposals were evaluated based on the formula in the RFP/RFQ. Page 382 of 1137 City of Chula Vista - City Council January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda P a g e | 3 Upon totaling the proposers’ scores per the methodology in the RFP/RFQ, BNBuilders Inc. scores indicate that they will provide the best value to the City. BNBuilders Inc. is currently an active licensed Class A, General Engineering Contractor and Class B, General Building Contractor, (License No. 799131). BNBuilders Inc. proposal of $1,493,263.91 for the design and preconstruction fee was also determined to be reasonable in cost. Staff recommends awarding a contract to BNBuilders Inc. in the amount of $1,493,263.91 for the design and preconstruction fees. Pursuant to section 2.56.160(C)(2) of the City Municipal Code, the Public Works Director, or City Engineer, may approve change orders for the construction phase work or other work up to the CIP budget for this project. DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT Staff has reviewed the property holdings of 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.). CURRENT-YEAR FISCAL IMPACT Approval of this resolution will award an agreement with BNBuilders Inc. for Progressive Design-Build Services for Project GGV0271 – Civic Center Library Infrastructure Renovation and GGV0272 – South Library Infrastructure Renovation. Sufficient funding to cover the cost of the projects is budgeted within Projects GGV0241 and GGV0272. There is no additional current-year fiscal impact anticipated as a result of this action. ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT The proposed agreement will have no ongoing fiscal impact, as all costs associated with the completion of Projects GGV0271 and GGV0272 will be covered within the projects’ grant-funded budgets, with no additional funding required. Upon completion, the improvements will require routine facilities maintenance which will be addressed through the annual budget development process in future years. ATTACHMENTS 1.

And may direct work under the allowance under the terms of the Change Order section of these General Conditions. Page 453 of 1137 City of Chula Vista - City Council January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda Attachment 4 – General Conditions 46 B. FF&E is typically a City allowance item. 9.5 Allowance Process A. The DBE shall carry both types of allowances (DBE and City) as directed by the City in its Schedule of Values as part of the Construction Cost. Allowances shall only be used for their identified specific and discrete purpose. Allowance balances may not be used to make up deficits on other line items. The City shall authorize use of Allowances with written authorization, except in the case of General Requirements allowance use. B. The Design-Builder’s charges against either allowance shall consist of either time-and- material or City-approved lump sum direct costs from trade contractors. The Design- Builder shall include trade contractor mark-up on these direct cost items in accordance with the Contract. No DBE mark-up, fee, or bonds in addition to that specified in section 5.5 Components of Guaranteed Maximum Price Proposal of the Contract Terms shall be added to allowance expenditures. Upon completion of a Design-Builder allowance item, and if the allowance has not been fully expended, the City shall process a credit change order for the unused balance of the allowance plus applicable mark-up, fee, or bonds. If a City’s Allowance is exceeded the City shall process a change order in accordance with the Contract General Conditions to compensate the Design-Builder for the overrun. C. The Design-Builder shall itemize the use of the allowances and account for the allowance balances on a separate accounting accompanying the monthly payment request. 9.6 DBE Contingency A. DBE shall be allowed a construction contingency as a percent Construction Cost Budget and included in the GMP. No additional DBE mark-up, fee, or bonds in addition to that specified in section 5.5 Components of Guaranteed Maximum Price Proposal of the Contract Terms shall be added to contingency expenditures. DBE shall calculate proposed fees based on this. The use of the DBE contingency shall require written approval by the City, but no reasonable use shall be disallowed. The DBE shall pay the trade contractors in accordance with the Changes Order section of the General Conditions for additional work paid for from the DBE contingency. DBE shall itemize the use of the contingency and account for the contingency balance on a separate accounting accompanying the monthly payment request. Contingency-eligible costs in excess of the contingency amount shall be borne by the DBE. The following are examples of eligible and ineligible uses of contingency and owner paid change orders. 1. Eligible uses of Contingency: a. Re-work due to ambiguities or conflict in construction documents. b. Work shown or inferred on construction documents but missing from bid packages. c. Work shown or inferred in the construction documents, but not described to the extent that it is sufficient to obtain competitive bids. d. Security personnel to control unexpected union picketing. Page 454 of 1137 City of Chula Vista - City Council January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda Attachment 4 – General Conditions 47 e. Expenditures suggested by DBE and agreed to by City for the benefit of the Project. f. Errors or Omissions in the Contract Documents. g. Coordination of installation tolerances between trades. h. Overages on DBE allowances. 2. Ineligible uses of Contingency: a. Additional Project management staff. b. Weather protection of work or materials for the benefit of subcontractors. c. Insurance co-pay or deductible costs. d. Work specified in subcontracts. 3. City’s responsibility for Change Orders shall be limited to the following: a. City-initiated changes. b. City-initiated additional work. c. Unforeseen Site Conditions if not able to be reasonably anticipated. 9.7 Failure to Agree on GMP. A. If City and DBE cannot agree on a GMP, then City may terminate the Contract. In that event, the City may use the Construction Documents for it’s own purposes per Article 3 of these General Conditions. ARTICLE 10 -CHANGE IN CONTRACT PRICE; CHANGE IN CONTRACT TIMES 10.1 Contract Change Orders. A. City, without invalidating the Contract, may order changes in the work consisting of additions, deletions or other revisions, and the GMP and/or Contract Time shall be adjusted accordingly. All such changes in the Work shall be authorized by written Change Order and shall be performed under the applicable conditions of the Contract Documents. No changes in the Work covered by this Contract shall exonerate any surety or any bond given in connection with this Contract. No dispute, disagreement or failure of the Parties to reach agreement on the terms of a Change Order shall relieve DBE from the obligation to proceed with performance of the changed work promptly and expeditiously. 10.2 Contract Change Order Procedures. A. City Directive 1. City may direct changes in the Work, including deletion of Work, by delivering a written work directive. City shall have the right to order changes in the Work by a Page 455 of 1137 City of Chula Vista - City Council January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda Attachment 4 – General Conditions 48 unilateral Change Order setting forth City’s determination of the reasonable additions or savings in the GMP and/or Guaranteed Completion Date. 2. To the extent a work directive results in a change to the GMP and/or Guaranteed Completion Date, or DBE contests a unilateral Change Order, DBE must timely submit a Change Order Request and comply with all Change Order procedures in accordance with this Article. Notwithstanding issuance of a work directive or unilateral Change Order, DBE’s failure to timely submit a Change Order Request shall constitute a waiver by DBE of any adjustment to the GMP and/or Guaranteed Completion Date. 3. City shall not be liable to DBE for work performed or omitted by DBE in reliance on verbal orders. B. Unanticipated Subsurface Site Conditions 1. City assumes risks for unanticipated subsurface site conditions provided DBE notifies City in writing within five (5) calendar days of discovery if DBE believes it has uncovered or revealed a condition which: a. differs materially from that indicated in soils and geotechnical reports furnished by City, conducted by the DBE, or otherwise known to the DBE; or b. is of an unusual nature and differs materially from conditions ordinarily encountered and generally recognized as inherent in the work required by the Contract Documents. 2. Upon receipt of written notice, City shall promptly investigate and if it determines the conditions do materially differ, requiring a change in the Work, City shall commence the processing of a change order pursuant to the Contract Documents. If City determines there is no bona fide Work scope change or is a minor change, which does not impact GMP or Contract Time, City shall notify DBE within ten (10) calendar days. 3. DBE shall not be entitled to an adjustment in the GMP or Contract Time if DBE knew or should have known of the existence of such conditions at the time DBE submitted and agreed to the GMP or Contract Time; or the existence of such condition could reasonably have been discovered as a result of DBE’s obligations pursuant to Article 6 of these General Conditions. C. DBE Change Order Request. 1. DBE agrees that one of the purposes of the progressive design-build delivery method is to minimize the risk for Change Orders and reduce the likelihood of Change Orders. Change Order Requests shall be kept to a minimum. 2. DBE may request changes to the GMP and/or Guaranteed Completion Date for City- directed changes in the Work or for Additional Work caused by the acts, errors, or omissions of City, or caused by unforeseen conditions if, and only if, DBE follows the procedures specified in this Article. Work that should or could have been included as part of the Construction Documents or work resulting from ambiguities in the Page 456 of 1137 City of Chula Vista - City Council January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda Attachment 4 – General Conditions 49 Construction Documents shall not be considered Additional Work and City will not issue additional compensation or time for said work. 3. If DBE intends to initiate a Change Order Request, then DBE shall provide City with written notice of the underlying facts and circumstances giving rise to the proposed change. DBE shall submit the notice of change/delay prior to performance of the work and no later than five (5) Days after City’s work directive or after DBE discovers the circumstances causing the need for the Change Order. To be considered valid and complete, the notice of change/delay shall include a general statement of the circumstances giving rise to the notice of change/delay and a reasonable order of magnitude estimate of the additional costs and/or time. If the circumstances give rise to both a cost adjustment and time extension, DBE shall submit the notice of change and notice of delay concurrently. 4. A Change Order Request will only be deemed timely submitted if it is submitted prior to incurring any expense and within fourteen (14) Days from DBE’s notice of change/delay. 5. A Change Order Request must state that it is a Change Order Request, state and justify the reason for the request, and specify the amount of any requested adjustment to the GMP and/or Guaranteed Completion Date, if any. The Change Order Request shall include all of the following information (unless inapplicable to the change): A detailed description of the circumstances giving rise to the request; A complete itemized fee proposal, including itemized pricing for costs; Supporting documentation for all costs; A time impact analysis showing the impact of the delay to the critical path to completion; If any added costs or information cannot be determined at the time of the Change Order Request, the reason the costs or information cannot be determined at the time; and Certification to the accuracy of the Change Order Request under penalty of perjury. The time impact analysis shall be in the critical path method format and shall show the sequencing of all critical and non-critical new activities and/or activity revisions affected by the delay, with logic ties to all affected existing activities noted on the schedule. City may demand, and DBE shall provide, any additional information supporting the Change Order Request, including but not limited to native electronic format version of schedules and time impact analyses. DBE shall provide the requested additional information within five (5) Days of the request. 6. If City denies the Change Order Request or disagrees with the proposal submitted by DBE, it will notify DBE, and City will provide its opinion of the issue, error, or inaccuracy in the proposal; or the appropriate change to the GMP and/or Contract Time. If no agreement can be reached, City shall have the right to order the work by a unilateral Change Order setting forth City’s determination of the reasonable additions or savings in the GMP and/or Contract Time, if any. City’s determination shall become final and binding if DBE fails to submit a Claim in writing to City within fourteen (14) Days of the issuance of the unilateral Change Order, disputing the terms of the unilateral Change Order and providing such supporting documentation for its position as City may reasonably require. D. Change Order Format 1. A Change Order signed by DBE indicates DBE's agreement therewith, including any adjustment in compensation or extension of time, and the full and final settlement of Page 457 of 1137 City of Chula Vista - City Council January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda Attachment 4 – General Conditions 50 all costs related to the Work authorized by the Change Order. Agency may designate the forms to be used for notices, Change Order Requests, and Change Orders. 10.3 Determining Adjustments to Compensation. A. Limitation on Costs. DBE shall not be entitled to any compensation for Work subject to a Change Order except as expressly set forth in this Article. The mark-up added in instances of Additional Work shall constitute the entire amount of profit, any mark-ups, any field or home office overhead costs, including personnel, equipment or office space, any materials, or any costs of equipment idle time for such Work. B. Lump Sum Change Orders. Whenever possible, any changes affecting compensation shall be in a lump sum mutually agreed by DBE and City. C. Time and Materials Change Orders. City may direct DBE to proceed with the Additional Work with payment to be made on the basis of actual cost of the labor and materials required to complete the Additional Work. D. Allowed Costs. Estimates for lump sum quotations and accounting for time-and-material work shall be limited to direct expenditures necessitated specifically by the change and shall be segregated as follows 1. Labor. The costs of labor will be the actual cost for wages prevailing locally for each craft or type of worker at the time the Additional Work is done, plus employer payments of payroll taxes and insurance, health and welfare, pension, vacation, apprenticeship funds, and other direct costs resulting from federal, state or local laws, as well as assessment or benefits required by lawful collective bargaining agreements. The use of a labor classification which would increase the Additional Work cost will not be permitted unless DBE establishes the necessity for such additional costs. Labor costs for equipment operators and helpers shall be reported only when such costs are not included in the invoice for equipment rental. 2. Materials. The cost of materials reported shall be at the lowest current price at which such materials are locally available in the quantities involved, plus sales tax, freight and delivery. Materials costs shall be based upon supplier or manufacturer’s invoice. 3. Tool and Equipment Use. Regardless of ownership, the rates to be used in determining equipment use shall not exceed the most current listed rates provided by the California Department of Transportation at the time the work is performed. In the event the rate is not available, DBE shall furnish data supporting its proposed rate. City shall the make the final determination as to an equitable rental rate for the equipment. No payment will be made for the use of small tools, which have a replacement value of $1,000 or less. a. The rental time to be paid for equipment shall be the time the equipment is in productive operation on the Additional Work being performed. Rental time will not be allowed while equipment is inoperative due to breakdowns. b. All equipment shall, in the opinion of City, be in good working condition and suitable for the purpose for which the equipment is to be used. Equipment with no Page 458 of 1137 City of Chula Vista - City Council January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda Attachment 4 – General Conditions 51 direct power unit shall be powered by a unit of at least the minimum rating recommended by the manufacturer. c. Before construction equipment is used on any Additional Work, DBE shall plainly stencil or stamp an identifying number thereon at a conspicuous location, and shall furnish to City, in duplicate, a description of the equipment and its identifying number. d. When hourly rates are listed, any part of an hour less than 30 minutes of operation shall be considered to be 1/2-hour of operation, and any part of an hour greater than 30 minutes will be considered one hour of operation. When daily rates are listed, any part of a day less than 4 hours operation shall be considered to be 1/2- day of operation. 4. Allowed Mark-up. The allowed mark-up for any and all overhead (including supervision and home and field office costs) and profit on work added to the Contract shall be determined in accordance with the following provisions: a. “Net Cost” is defined as the actual costs of labor, materials and tools and equipment only, excluding overhead and profit. The costs of applicable insurance and bond premium shall be per section 5.5 Components of Guaranteed Maximum Price Proposal. DBE shall provide City with documentation of the costs, including but not limited to payroll records, invoices, and such other information as City may reasonably request. b. For Work performed by DBE’s forces the allowed mark-up shall not exceed fifteen (15%) percent of labor costs, ten percent (10%) of material costs, and ten percent (10%) of the cost of tools and equipment use. c. For Work performed by a Subcontractor, the added cost for overhead and profit shall not exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the Subcontractor’s Net Cost of the Work to which DBE may add up to five percent (5%) of the Subcontractor’s Net Cost (i.e., there is no mark-up allowed on a mark-up). d. For Work performed by a sub-subcontractor, the added cost for overhead and profit shall not exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the sub-subcontractor’s Net Cost for Work to which the Subcontractor and DBE may each add up to an additional five percent (5%) of the Net Cost of the lower tier subcontractor (i.e., there is no mark-up allowed on a mark-up). e. No additional mark-up will be allowed for lower tier subcontractors, and in no case shall the added cost for overhead and profit payable by City exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of the Net Cost as defined herein, of the party that performs the Work. 5. Documentation of Time-and-Material Costs. a. T&M Daily Sheets. DBE must submit timesheets, materials invoices, records of equipment hours, and records of rental equipment hours to City’s Representative for an approval signature each day that Work is performed on a time-and-material basis. The City Representative’s signature on time sheets only serves as verification Page 459 of 1137 City of Chula Vista - City Council January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda Attachment 4 – General Conditions 52 that the Work was performed and is not indicative of City’s agreement to DBE’s entitlement to the cost. b. T&M Summary Sheet. DBE shall submit a T&M Summary Sheet, which shall include total actual costs, within five (5) Days following completion of Additional Work on a time-and-material basis. DBE’s total actual cost shall be presented in a summary table in an electronic spreadsheet file by labor, material, equipment, and any other costs, along with documentation supporting the costs. DBE’s failure to submit the T&M Summary Sheet within five (5) Days of completion of the Additional Work will result in DBE’s waiver for any reimbursement of any costs associated with the Additional Work. c. Excluded Costs. The following costs or any other home or field office overhead costs, all of which are to be considered administrative costs covered by DBE’s mark-up, shall not be allowed costs and shall not be included in any lump sum proposals or time-and-materials invoices: d. Overhead Cost. Payroll costs and other compensation of DBE’s officers, executives, principals, general managers, engineers, architects, estimators, attorneys, auditors, accountants, purchasing and contracting agents, timekeepers, clerks, and other personnel employed by DBE whether at the Site or in DBE’s principal office or any branch office, material yard, or shop for general administration of the Work; e. Office Expenses. Expenses of DBE’s principal and branch offices; f. Capital Expenses. Any part of DBE’s capital expenses, including interest on DBE’s capital employed for the Additional Work and charges against DBE for delinquent payments; g. Negligence. Costs due to the negligence of DBE or any Subcontractor or Supplier, or anyone directly or indirectly employed by any of them or for whose acts any of them may be liable, including without limitation the correction of Defective Work, disposal of materials or equipment wrongly supplied, and making good any damage to property; h. Small Tools. Cost of small tools valued at less than $1,000 and that remain the property of DBE; i. Administrative Costs. Costs associated with the preparation of Change Orders (whether or not ultimately authorized), cost estimates, or the preparation or filing of Claims; j. Anticipated Lost Profits. Expenses of DBE associated with anticipated lost profits or lost revenues, lost income or earnings, lost interest on earnings, or unpaid retention; k. Home Office Overhead. Costs derived from the computation of a “home office overhead” rate by application of the Eichleay, Allegheny, burden fluctuation, or other similar methods; Page 460 of 1137 City of Chula Vista - City Council January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda Attachment 4 – General Conditions 53 l. Special Consultants and Attorneys. Costs of special consultants or attorneys, whether or not in the direct employ of DBE, employed for services specifically related to the resolution of a Claim, dispute, or other matter arising out of or relating to the performance of the Additional Work. m. Other. Other overhead or general expense costs of any kind and the cost of any item not specifically and expressly included in the Contract Documents; including but not limited to: submittals, drawings, field drawings, shop drawings, including submissions of drawings; field inspection; general superintendence; computer services; reproduction services; salaries of project engineer, superintendent, timekeeper, storekeeper, and secretaries; janitorial services; small tools, incidentals and consumables; temporary on-site facilities (offices, telephones, high speed internet access, plumbing, electrical power, lighting; platforms, fencing, water); surveying; estimating; protection of work; handling and disposal fees; final cleanup; other incidental work; related warranties; insurance and bond premiums. 10.4 DBE’s Wavier of Further Relief. A. PROGRESSIVE DESIGN-BUILD ENTITY’S FAILURE TO PROVIDE A COMPLETE AND TIMELY NOTICE OF A CHANGE ORDER REQUEST OR TO COMPLY WITH ANY OTHER REQUIREMENT OF THIS ARTICLE, SHALL CONSTITUTE A WAIVER BY DESIGN-BUILD ENTITY OF THE RIGHT TO AN ADJUSTMENT OF THE CONTRACT PRICE AND/OR PROJECT COMPLETION DATE ON ACCOUNT OF SUCH CIRCUMSTANCES AND A WAIVER OF ANY RIGHT TO FURTHER RECOURSE OR RECOVERY BY REASON OF OR RELATED TO SUCH CHANGE BY MEANS OF THE CLAIMS DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCESS OR BY ANY OTHER LEGAL PROCESS OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR UNDER APPLICABLE LAWS. B. DBE recognizes and acknowledges that timely submission of a formal written notice of change/delay and Change Order Request, whether or not the circumstances of the change may be known to City or available to City through other means, is not a mere formality but is of crucial importance to the ability of City to promptly identify, prioritize, evaluate and mitigate the potential effects of changes. Any form of informal notice, whether verbal or written (including, without limitation, statements in requests for information, statements in Submittals, statements at any job meeting or entries on monthly reports, daily logs or job meeting minutes), that does not strictly comply with the formal requirements of this Article, shall accordingly be insufficient. ARTICLE 11 -TIME FOR COMPLETION; LIQUIDATED DAMAGES 11.1 Progress and Completion. A. DBE shall proceed expeditiously with adequate forces and shall achieve full completion of the Work by the Guaranteed Completion Date. If City’s Representative determines and notifies DBE that DBE’s progress is such that DBE will not achieve full completion of the Work by the Guaranteed Completion Date, DBE shall immediately and at no additional cost to City, take all measures necessary, including working such overtime, additional shifts, Sundays, or holidays as may be required to ensure that the entire Project is completed within the Guaranteed Completion Date. Upon receipt of such notice from City’s representative, DBE shall immediately notify City’s Representative of all measures to be taken to ensure full completion Page 461 of 1137 City of Chula Vista - City Council January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda Attachment 4 – General Conditions 54 of the Work within the Guaranteed Completion Date. DBE shall reimburse City for any extra costs or expenses (including the reasonable value of any services provided by City’s employees) incurred by City as the result of such measures. 11.2 Time for Completion. A. The time for completion set forth in Contract shall commence: (1) on the date stated in the Notice to Proceed with Construction, or (2) if the Notice to Proceed does not specify a commencement date, then on the date of the Notice to Proceed and shall be completed by DBE in the time specified in the Contract Documents. City is under no obligation to consider early completion of the Project; and the Guaranteed Completion Date shall not be amended by City’s receipt or acceptance of DBE’s proposed earlier completion date. Any difference in time between DBE’s early completion and the Guaranteed Completion Date shall be considered a part of the Project float. DBE shall not be entitled to compensation, and City will not compensate DBE, for delays which impact early completion. DBE shall not, under any circumstances, receive additional compensation from City (including but not limited to indirect, general, administrative or other forms of overhead costs) for the period between the time of earlier completion proposed by DBE and the Guaranteed Completion Date. 11.3 Liquidated Damages. A. If the Work is not completed as stated in the Contract Documents, it is understood that City will suffer damage. In accordance with Government Code section 53069.85, being impractical and infeasible to determine the amount of actual damage, it is agreed that DBE shall pay to City as fixed and liquidated damages, and not as a penalty, the sum stipulated in the Contract for each calendar day of delay until the Work is fully completed. DBE and its surety shall be liable for any liquidated damages. Any money due or to become due DBE may be retained to cover liquidated damages. 11.4 Inclement Weather. A. When DBE believes inclement weather has delayed the Work, DBE may request a commensurate time extension and provide backup information as necessary. The City Shall make a determination of what constitutes inclement weather and if a time extension is warranted. DBE shall abide by City’s determination. Time extensions for inclement weather shall only be granted when the Work stopped during inclement weather is on the critical path of the Project schedule. DBE shall not be entitled to additional compensation for time extensions resulting from inclement weather. 11.5 Extension of Time. A. DBE’s entitlement to an extension of the Contract Time is limited to a City-caused extension of the critical path, reduced by DBE’s concurrent delays, and established by a proper time impact analysis and approved inclement weather delays. City shall ascertain the facts and extent of delay and grant extension of time for completing the Work when, in its judgment, the facts justify such an extension. DBE shall not be entitled to an adjustment in the Contract Times for delays within the control of DBE. Delays attributable to and within the control of a Subcontractor or Supplier shall be deemed to be delays within the control of DBE. Page 462 of 1137 City of Chula Vista - City Council January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda Attachment 4 – General Conditions 55 11.6 Force Majeure. A. If a delay to the critical path results from a Force Majeure Event, DBE will be entitled to a time extension but will not receive an adjustment to the GMP or any other compensation. Such a non-compensable adjustment shall be DBE’s sole and exclusive remedy for such delays. 11.7 No Damages for Reasonable Delay. A. City’s liability to DBE for delays for which City is responsible shall be limited to only an extension of time unless such delays were unreasonable under the circumstances. A delay is only considered unreasonable if the delay is to the critical path to completion, if it will result in DBE not being able to complete the Work prior to the Guaranteed Completion Date, if it is not concurrent with any other delay, and if it results from one of the following: (i) an unforeseen condition that DBE could not have been aware of or anticipated prior to construction, (ii) a City-ordered work directive that adds additional work that was not previously contemplated, (iii) a failure by the City to comply with the Contract Documents if DBE demanded a cure prior to the delay to the critical path, or (iv) a suspension or other stoppage of work by the City that is not due to an act or omission of DBE, a force majeure event, or an action of government agency or other third party that requires a stoppage of work. In no case shall City be liable for any costs which are borne by DBE in the regular course of business, including, but not limited to, home office overhead and other ongoing costs. Damages caused by unreasonable City delay shall be per the “Damages for Compensable Delay” section of the Contract. 11.8 Procedure for Time Extensions and Delay Damages. A. DBE shall not be entitled to any extension of time or any Damages for Compensable Delay per the Contract unless DBE properly notices the delay and adjustment to compensation and requests a Change Order in accordance with the Contract Documents. DBE’s failure to timely and fully comply with the Change Order procedures in the Contract Documents shall constitute a waiver of DBE’s right to a time extension or Damages for Compensable Delay. ARTICLE 12 -TEST AND INSPECTIONS; CORRECTION, REMOVAL, OR ACCEPTANCE OF DEFECTIVE WORK; NOTICE OF DEFECTS 12.1 Access to Work. A. City, City’s Representative, their consultants and other representatives and personnel, independent testing laboratories, and governmental agencies with jurisdictional interests will have access to the Project site and the Work at reasonable times for their observation, inspection, and testing. DBE shall provide them proper and safe conditions for such access and advise them of DBE’s safety procedures and programs. 12.2 Tests and Inspections. A. DBE shall be responsible for procuring, scheduling and managing qualified third party firms for all materials testing, geotechnical investigations and testing and special inspections. DB obtain approval of all materials testing, geotechnical, and special inspection firms and personnel as required by the AHJ prior to start of construction. DBE shall notify City in advance of hiring any such third party firms, and City shall have final approval of all third party materials testing, geotechnical, and special inspection firms. Page 463 of 1137 City of Chula Vista - City Council January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda Attachment 4 – General Conditions 56 B. DBE shall coordinate all required inspections, tests, or approvals with AHJ to ensure compliance with all requirements. C. DBE shall schedule and coordinate all inspections required by AHJ in accordance with normal AHJ policies and procedures. DBE shall have no expectation of special treatment or priority with respect to AHJ inspections or requirements. D. If Applicable Laws of any public body having jurisdiction require any Work (or part thereof) specifically to be inspected, tested, or approved by an employee or other representative of such public body, DBE shall assume full responsibility for arranging and obtaining such inspections, tests, or approvals, pay all costs in connection therewith, and furnish City’s Representative the required certificates of inspection or approval. E. DBE shall be responsible for arranging and obtaining and shall pay all costs in connection with any inspections, tests, or approvals required for City and City’s Representative’s acceptance of materials or equipment to be incorporated in the Work; or acceptance of materials, mix designs, or equipment submitted for approval prior to DBE’s purchase thereof for incorporation in the Work. Such inspections, tests, or approvals shall be performed by organizations acceptable to City. F. In addition to AHJ required inspections, the City reserves the right to inspect and reject and/or require corrective work to any and all parts of the Work not in accordance with the Contract Documents, applicable industry standards or expected quality standards. 12.3 Uncovering Work. A. If any Work (or the work of others) that is to be inspected, tested, or approved is covered by DBE without authorization by AHJ or written concurrence of City’s Representative, DBE shall, if requested by AHJ or City’s Representative, uncover such Work for observation. B. If DBE has covered work and AHJ or City’s Representative later considers it necessary or advisable that covered Work be observed by AHJ or City’s Representative or inspected or tested by others, DBE, at AHJ or City’s Representative’s request, shall uncover, expose, or otherwise make available for observation, inspection, or testing as AHJ or City’s Representative may require, that portion of the Work in question, furnishing all necessary labor, material, and equipment. 12.4 Agency May Stop The Work. A. If the Work is defective, City may in its sole discretion order DBE to stop the Work, or any portion thereof, until the cause for such order has been eliminated. All delays associated with the stop Work order will be the responsibility of DBE. 12.5 Correction of Defective Work. A. Promptly after receipt of written notice, DBE shall (1) correct Defective Work that becomes apparent during the progress of the Work on the Project and (2) replace, repair, or restore to City’s satisfaction any other parts of the Work on the Project and any other real or personal property which is damaged or destroyed as a result of Defective Work or the correction of Defective Work. DBE shall promptly commence such correction, replacement, repair, or restoration upon notice from City’s Representative or City, but in no case later than fourteen Page 464 of 1137 City of Chula Vista - City Council January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda Attachment 4 – General Conditions 57 (14) Days after receipt of such notice; and DBE shall diligently and continuously prosecute such correction to completion. DBE shall bear all costs of such correction, replacement, repair, or restoration, and all losses resulting from such Defective Work, including additional testing, inspection, and compensation for City’s Representative’s services and expenses. DBE shall perform corrective Work on the Project at such times that are acceptable to City and in such a manner as to avoid, to the extent practicable, disruption to City’s activities. When correcting Defective Work, DBE shall take no action that would void or otherwise impair City’s special warranty and guarantee, if any, on said Work. B. If immediate correction of Defective Work is required for life safety or the protection of property and is performed by City or Separate Contractors, DBE shall pay to City all reasonable costs of correcting such Defective Work. DBE shall replace, repair, or restore to City’s satisfaction any other parts of the Construction Work and any other real or personal property which is damaged or destroyed as a result of such Defective Work or the correction of such Defective Work. C. DBE shall remove from the Project site portions of the Construction Work and materials which are not in accordance with the Contract Documents and which are neither corrected by DBE nor accepted by Agency. D. Enforcement of DBE’s express warranties and guarantees to repair contained in the Contract Documents shall be in addition to and not in limitation of any other rights or remedies City may have under the Contract Documents or at law or in equity for Defective Work. Nothing contained in this Article shall be construed to establish a period of limitation with respect to other obligations of DBE under the Contract Documents. 12.6 Acceptance of Defective Work. A. If, instead of requiring correction or removal and replacement of Defective Work, City prefers to accept it, City may do so. DBE shall pay all claims, costs, losses, and damages (including but not limited to all fees and charges of engineers, architects, attorneys, and other professionals and all court or arbitration or other dispute resolution costs) attributable to City’s evaluation of and determination to accept such Defective Work and for the diminished value of the Work. B. If any acceptance of Defective Work occurs prior to release of the Project retention, a Change Order will be issued incorporating the necessary revisions in the Contract Documents with respect to the Work, and City shall be entitled to an appropriate decrease in the GMP, reflecting the diminished value of Work and all costs incurred by Agency. C. If the acceptance of defective Work occurs after release of the Project retention, an appropriate amount will be paid by DBE to City. 12.7 City May Correct Defective Work. A. If DBE fails within a reasonable time after written notice from City’s Representative to correct Defective Work, or to remove and replace rejected Work as required by City, or if DBE fails to perform the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents, or if DBE fails to comply with any other provision of the Contract Documents, City may, after seven (7) Days written notice to DBE, correct, or remedy any such deficiency. Page 465 of 1137 City of Chula Vista - City Council January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda Attachment 4 – General Conditions 58 B. In connection with such corrective or remedial action, City may exclude DBE from all or part of the Site, take possession of all or part of the Work and suspend DBE’s services related thereto, take possession of DBE’s tools, appliances, construction equipment and machinery at the Site, and incorporate in the Work all materials and equipment stored at the Site or for which City has paid DBE but which are stored elsewhere. DBE shall allow City and City’s Representative, and the agents, employees, other contractors, and consultants of each of them, access to the Site to enable City to exercise the rights and remedies to correct the defective work. C. All claims, costs, losses, and damages (including but not limited to all fees and charges of engineers, architects, attorneys, and other professionals and all court or arbitration or other dispute resolution costs) incurred or sustained by City correcting the defective work will be charged against DBE, and a Change Order will be issued incorporating the necessary revisions in the Contract Documents with respect to the Work; and City shall be entitled to an appropriate decrease in the GMP. Such claims, costs, losses and damages will include but not be limited to all costs of repair, or replacement of work of others destroyed or damaged by correction, removal, or replacement of Defective Work. D. If the Change Order is executed after release of the Project Retention, an appropriate amount will be paid by DBE to Agency. E. DBE shall not be allowed an extension of the Guaranteed Completion Date because of any delay in the performance of the Work attributable to City correcting defective work. ARTICLE 13 -PAYMENTS TO DBE AND COMPLETION 13.1 Schedule of Values. A. Unless the City objects, the most-current accepted schedule of values shall be used as a basis for reviewing DBE’s Applications for Payment. 13.2 Applications for Payments. A. Each month DBE shall submit to City’s Representative for review an Application for Payment filled out and signed by DBE covering the Work completed for the previous month and accompanied by such supporting documentation as is required by the Contract Documents. If payment is requested on the basis of materials and equipment not incorporated in the Work but delivered and suitably stored at the Site or at another location agreed to in writing, the Application for Payment shall also be accompanied by a bill of sale, invoice, or other documentation warranting that City has received the materials and equipment free and clear of all Liens and evidence that the materials and equipment are covered by appropriate property insurance or other arrangements to protect City’s interest therein, all of which must be satisfactory to Agency. B. DBE shall provide backup documentation as requested by the City for any aspect of the applications for payment. Back up documentation shall sufficient to shown the application for payment is correct as determined by the City. DBE shall provide backup documentation for all Allowance uses.

Beginning with the second Application for Payment, each Application shall include an affidavit executed by DBE stating that it has paid all amounts due on account of the Work paid by City in the prior Applications for Payment. 13.3 Review of Applications. A. City’s Representative will either indicate in writing a recommendation of payment to City or return the Application for Payment to DBE indicating in writing City’s Representative’s reasons for refusing to recommend payment. In the latter case, DBE may make the necessary corrections and resubmit the Application for Payment. B. In taking action on DBE’s Applications for Payment, City shall be entitled to rely on the accuracy and completeness of the information furnished by DBE and shall not be deemed to represent that City has made a detailed examination, audit or arithmetic verification of the documentation submitted in support of the Application for Payment or other supporting data; that City has made exhaustive or continuous on-site inspections; or that City has made examinations to ascertain how or for what purposes DBE has used amounts previously paid on account of the Contract. Such examinations, audits and verifications, if required by City, will be performed by City’s auditors acting in the sole interest of City. C. By recommending any such payment City’s Representative will not thereby be deemed to have represented that: 1. inspections made to check the quality or the quantity of the Work as it has been performed have been exhaustive, extended to every aspect of the Work in progress, or involved detailed inspections of the Work beyond the responsibilities specifically assigned to City’s Representative in the Contract Documents; or 2. there may not be other matters or issues between the parties that might entitle DBE to be paid additionally by City or entitle City to withhold payment to DBE. D. City’s Representative may refuse to recommend the whole or any part of any payment due to subsequently discovered evidence or the results of subsequent inspections or tests. City retains the right to revise or revoke any such payment recommendation previously made, to such extent as may be necessary in City’s opinion to protect City from loss. 13.4 Payment Becomes Due. A. Thirty (30) Days after presentation of an undisputed and properly submitted Application for Payment to City’s Representative, and subject to City’s Representative’s recommendation, subject to the modifications above, the amount recommended will become due, and when due will be paid by City to DBE. 13.5 Retention. A. City will retain five percent (5%) of the amount invoiced until final payment. 13.6 City’s Reduction in Recommended Payment. A. In addition to reductions recommended by City’s Representative, City may refuse to make payment of the full amount recommended by City’s Representative because: Page 467 of 1137 City of Chula Vista - City Council January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda Attachment 4 – General Conditions 60 1. Claims have been made against City on account of DBE’s performance or furnishing of the Work. 2. Stop Payment Notices or Liens have been filed in connection with the Work. 3.

A. DBE warrants and guarantees that title to all Work, materials, and equipment covered by any Application for Payment, whether incorporated in the Project or not, will pass to City no later than the time of payment free and clear of all Liens. 13.8 Partial Utilization. A. City reserves the right to occupy or utilize any portion of the Work at any time before completion, and such occupancy or use shall not constitute acceptance of any part of Work covered by this Contract. This use shall not relieve DBE of its responsibilities under the Contract. 13.9 Substantial Completion. A. DBE may request all or portions of the work be considered substantially complete. If the City agrees, the DBE’s A/E may issue a signed certificate of Substantial Completion whereby the A/E certifies in writing that the Work is at a stage in the progress of the Work when the Work or designated portion is sufficiently complete in accordance with the Contract Documents so that the Owner can occupy or utilize the Work for its intended use. Typically, a Certificate of Page 468 of 1137 City of Chula Vista - City Council January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda Attachment 4 – General Conditions 61 Occupancy is required prior to substantial completion. Upon acceptance and signing of the certificate of Substantial Completion, the warranty period shall begin and the City shall become responsible for maintenance. City acceptance of the certificate of Substantial Completion shall not constitute final acceptance nor does it stop the assessment of Liquidated Damages. 13.10 Final Inspection. A. Upon written notice from DBE that the entire Work is complete, City’s Representative will promptly make a final inspection with City and DBE and will notify DBE in writing of all particulars in which this inspection reveals that the Work is incomplete or defective. DBE shall immediately take such measures as are necessary to complete such Work or remedy such deficiencies. 13.11 Final Acceptance. A. After DBE has, in the opinion of City’s Representative, satisfactorily completed all corrections identified during the final inspection and has delivered, in accordance with the Contract Documents, all maintenance and operating instructions, schedules, guarantees, bonds, certificates or other evidence of insurance, certificates of inspection, marked-up record documents, certificate of occupancy, and other documents required by the Contract Documents, City shall execute and file with the County in which the Project is located a Notice of Completion, constituting final acceptance and completion of the Project, except as may be expressly noted. All Work, including remedy of deficiencies, shall be completed within the contract time, and exceedance of the contract time shall be subject to Liquidated Damages, except in special circumstances as determined by the City. 13.12 Final Payment. A. Application for Payment. Upon execution of the Notice of Completion, DBE may submit a final accounting for the cost of the Work and a final Application for Payment.

If, on the basis of City’s Representative’s observation of the Work during construction and final inspection, and City’s Representative’s review of the final Application for Payment and accompanying documentation as required by the Contract Documents, City’s Representative is satisfied that the Work has been completed and DBE has satisfied all other requirements for final payment, City’s Representative will indicate in writing City’s Representative’s recommendation of payment and present the Application for Payment to City for payment. Otherwise, City’s Representative will return the Application for Payment to DBE, indicating in writing the reasons for refusing to recommend final payment, in which case DBE shall make the necessary corrections and resubmit the Application for Payment. C. Payment Becomes Due. Within sixty (60) Days after the presentation to City’s Representative of the proper and complete final Application for Payment and accompanying documentation, the amount recommended by City’s Representative, less any sum City is entitled to set off pursuant to the Contract Documents, will become due and will be paid by City to DBE. 13.13 Waiver of Claims. Page 469 of 1137 City of Chula Vista - City Council January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda Attachment 4 – General Conditions 62 A. The making and acceptance of final payment will constitute a waiver of all Claims by DBE against City other than those previously made in accordance with the requirements herein and expressly acknowledged by City in writing as still unsettled. ARTICLE 14 -SUSPENSION OF WORK AND COMPLETION 14.1 City May Suspend Work. A. Agency may, at its sole option, decide to suspend at any time the performance of all or any portion of the Work by notice in writing to DBE. Such notice of suspension of Work will designate the amount and type of plant, labor, and equipment to be committed to the Project during the period of suspension. DBE shall use its best efforts to utilize its plant, labor, and equipment in such a manner as to minimize costs associated with suspension. B. Upon receipt of any such notice, DBE shall, unless the notice requires otherwise: 1. Immediately discontinue Work on the date and to the extent specified in the notice; 2. Place no further orders or subcontracts for material, services, or facilities with respect to suspended Work other than to the extent required in the notice; 3. Promptly make every reasonable effort to obtain suspension upon terms satisfactory to City’s Representative of all orders, subcontracts, and rental agreements to the extent they relate to performance of Work suspended; and 4. Continue to protect and maintain the Work including those portions on which Work has been suspended. C. Unless suspension is a result of DBE’s acts or omissions or a Force Majeure Event, then as full and complete compensation for such suspension, DBE shall be granted an adjustment in the GMP based on a negotiated daily rate that reflects DBE’s actual costs associated with the demobilized condition of the Site and an extension of the Guaranteed Completion Date equal to the number of days performance of Work is suspended; provided, however, that no adjustment of GMP or extension of the Guaranteed Completion Date shall be granted if the suspension results from DBE's non-compliance with the requirements of the Contract. City shall not be liable for any additional costs, damages or anticipated profits incurred by Contractor or its Subcontractors 14.2 City May Terminate for Cause. A. In the sole estimation of City, City may, without prejudice to any other right or remedy, serve written notice upon DBE of its intention to terminate this Contract in whole or in part if DBE: (i) refuses or fails to prosecute the Work or any part thereof with such diligence as will ensure its completion within the Guaranteed Completion Date; (ii) fails to complete the Work within the required time; (iii) files a bankruptcy petition or is adjudged a bankruptcy; (iv) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; (v) has a receiver appointed; (vi) refuses or fails to supply enough properly skilled workers or proper materials to complete the Work; (vii) fails to make prompt payment to subcontractors or for material or labor; (viii) disregards Applicable Laws, other requirements or instructions of Agency; or (ix) violates any of the provisions of the Contract Documents. Page 470 of 1137 City of Chula Vista - City Council January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda Attachment 4 – General Conditions 63 B. This notice of intent to terminate shall contain the reasons for such intention to terminate this Contract, and a statement to the effect that DBE's right to perform this Contract shall cease and terminate upon the expiration of ten (10) Days unless such violations have ceased and arrangements satisfactory to City have been made for correction of said violations. C. After expiration of the ten (10) Day period, City may terminate this Contract. In such case, DBE shall not be entitled to receive any further payment until the Work has been finished. City may take over and complete the Work by any method it may deem appropriate, including enforcement of the Project Performance Bond. DBE and its surety shall be liable to City for any excess costs or other damages incurred by City to complete the Work. If City takes over the Work, City may, without liability for so doing, take possession of and utilize in completing the Work such materials, appliances, plant, and other property belonging to DBE as may be on the Site. 14.3 City May Terminate for Convenience. A. In addition to its right to terminate this Contract for default, City may terminate the Contract, in whole or in part, at any time upon seven (7) Days written notice to DBE. The Notice of Termination shall specify that the termination is for the convenience of City, the extent of termination, and the effective date of such termination (“Effective Date of Termination”). B. After receipt of Notice of Termination, and except as directed by City, DBE shall, regardless of any delay in determining or adjusting any amounts due under this Termination for Convenience clause, immediately proceed with the following obligations: 1. Stop Work as specified in the Notice. 2. Complete any Work specified in the Notice of Termination in a least cost/shortest time manner while still maintaining the quality called for under the Contract Documents. 3. Leave the Site and any other property upon which DBE was working in a safe and sanitary manner such that it does not pose any threat to the public health or safety. 4. Terminate all subcontracts and purchase orders to the extent that they relate to the portions of the Work terminated. 5. Place no further subcontracts or orders, except as necessary to complete the remaining portion of the Work. 6. Submit to City, within fifteen (15) Days from the Notice of Termination, all of the documentation called for by the Contract Documents to substantiate all costs incurred by DBE for labor, materials and equipment through the Notice of Termination. Any documentation substantiating costs incurred by DBE solely as a result of City’s exercise of its right to terminate this Contract pursuant to this clause, which costs DBE is authorized under the Contract Documents to incur, shall: (i) be submitted to and received by City no later than thirty (30) Days after the Effective Date of the Notice of Termination; (ii) describe the costs incurred with particularity; and (iii) be conspicuously identified as "Termination Costs Occasioned by City’s Termination for Convenience." Page 471 of 1137 City of Chula Vista - City Council January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda Attachment 4 – General Conditions 64 C. City’s total liability to DBE by reason of the termination shall be limited to the total (without duplication of any items) of: 1. The reasonable cost to DBE for all Work performed prior to the Effective Date of Termination, including the Work done to secure the Project for termination. Reasonable cost may not exceed the applicable percentage completion values derived from the progress schedule and the schedule of values. Deductions shall be made for cost of materials to be retained by DBE, cost of Work defectively performed, amounts realized by sale of materials, and for other appropriate credits or offsets against cost of Work as allowed by the Contract Documents. 2. When, in City’s opinion, the cost of any item of Work is excessively high due to costs incurred to remedy or replace defective or rejected Work, reasonable cost to be allowed will be the estimated reasonable cost of performing the Work in compliance with requirements of the Contract Documents and excessive actual cost shall be disallowed. 3. Any Work required by the Termination for Convenience that is not included in Contract Documents will be negotiated pursuant to the Contract Change Order provisions. 4. Reasonable costs to DBE of handling material returned to vendors, delivered to City or otherwise disposed of as directed by Agency. 5. A reasonable allowance for DBE’s internal administrative costs in preparing termination claim. 6. Reasonable demobilization costs, and reasonable payments made to Subcontractors or suppliers on account of termination. D. In no event shall City be liable for unreasonable costs incurred by DBE or Subcontractors after receipt of a Notice of Termination. Such non-recoverable costs include, but are not limited to, the cost of or anticipated profits on Work not performed as of the date of termination, post-termination employee salaries, unreasonable post-termination administrative expenses, post-termination overhead or unabsorbed overhead, surety costs of any type, costs of preparing and submitting DBE’s termination claim, attorney fees of any type, and all other costs relating to prosecution of a claim or lawsuit. E. City shall have no obligation to pay DBE under this Article unless and until DBE provides City with updated and acceptable as-builts and Record Documents for Work completed prior to termination as required by the Contract Documents. F. In arriving at the amount due DBE under this clause there shall be deducted in whole, or in the appropriate part(s) if the termination is partial: 1. All unliquidated advances or other payments on account previously made to DBE, including without limitation all payments which are applicable to the terminated portion of the Contract Documents, 2. Any claim City may have against DBE in connection with the Work or any amounts that may be withheld in accordance with the Contract Documents, and Page 472 of 1137 City of Chula Vista - City Council January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda Attachment 4 – General Conditions 65 3. The agreed price for, or proceeds of sale of, any materials, supplies, or other things kept by DBE and not otherwise recovered by or credited to Agency. G. DBE shall not be paid on account of loss of anticipated profits or revenue or other economic loss or consequential damages arising out of or resulting from such termination. H. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article, when immediate action is necessary to protect life and safety or to reduce significant exposure or liability, City may immediately order DBE to cease Work until such safety or liability issues are addressed to the satisfaction of City or the Contract is terminated. I. If City terminates DBE for cause, and if it is later determined that the termination was wrongful, such default termination shall automatically be converted to and treated as a termination for convenience. In such event, DBE shall be entitled to receive only the amounts payable under this section, and DBE specifically waives any claim for any other amounts or damages, including, but not limited to, any claim for consequential damages or lost profits. ARTICLE 15 -CLAIMS, DISPUTE AVOIDANCE AND RESOLUTION 15.1 Procedure for Resolving Claims A. DBE shall timely comply with any and all requirement of the Contract Documents pertaining to notices and requests for changes to the GMP and/or the Guaranteed Completion Date, including but not limited to all requirements of Article 9, as a prerequisite to filing any Claim governed by this Article. The failure to timely submit a notice of delay or notice of change, or to timely submit a Chang Order Request, or to timely provide any other notice or request required herein shall constitute a waiver of the right to further pursue the Claim under the Contract or at law. B. Claims.

Any payment due on an undisputed portion of the Claim will be processed and made within 60 days after City issues its written response. 1. City may request, in writing, within 30 days of receipt of the Claim, any additional documentation supporting the Claim or relating to defenses or claims City may have. If additional information is needed thereafter, DBE shall provide the additional information within 30 days. Failure to provide additional information shall constitute an abandonment of the Claim. City shall respond within 30 days. F. Meet and Confer Conference. If DBE disputes City’s response, or if City fails to respond within the time period, DBE may so notify City, in writing, within 15 days of the receipt of the response or the failure to respond, and demand an informal conference to meet and confer for settlement of those portions of the Claim that remain in dispute. Upon such demand, City shall schedule a meet and confer conference within 30 days. G. Mediation. Within 10 business days following the conclusion of the meet and confer conference, any disputed portion of the Claim, as identified by DBE in writing, shall be submitted to nonbinding mediation, with City and DBE sharing the associated costs equally. The City and DBE shall mutually agree to a mediator within 10 business days after the disputed Page 474 of 1137 City of Chula Vista - City Council January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda Attachment 4 – General Conditions 67 portion of the Claim has been identified in writing, unless the parties agree to select a mediator at a later time. 1. For purposes of this Article, mediation includes any nonbinding process, including, but not limited to, neutral evaluation or a dispute review board, in which an independent third party or board assists the parties in dispute resolution through negotiation or by issuance of an evaluation. Any mediation utilized shall conform to the timeframes in this Article. 2. Unless otherwise agreed to by City and DBE in writing, the mediation conducted pursuant to this section shall excuse any further obligation under any law or statute to mediate after litigation has been commenced. 3. The mediation shall be held no earlier than the date DBE completes the Work or the date that DBE last performs Work, whichever is earlier. All unresolved Claims shall be considered jointly in a single mediation, unless a new unrelated Claim duly arises after mediation is completed. H. Procedures After Mediation. If following the mediation, the Claim or any portion remains in dispute, DBE must comply with Chapter 1.34 of the Chula Vista Municipal Code prior to initiating litigation. For purposes of the Municipal Code procedure, the running of the period of time within which a Municipal Code claim must be filed shall be tolled from the time DBE submits its written Claim until the meet and confer conference is completed (or until the time to commence the meet and confer has lapsed). I. Non-Waiver. City’s failure to respond to a Claim from DBE within the time periods described in this Article or to otherwise meet the time requirements of this Article shall result in the Claim being deemed rejected in its entirety, and shall not constitute a waiver of any rights under this Article. 15.2 Litigation.

Therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3) no environmental review is required. Recommended Action Receive the annual report regarding Development Impact Fees, the Parkland Acquisition and Development In-Lieu Fees, Trunk Sewer Capital Reserve Fee, and Parking In-Lieu Fee for fiscal year 2024-25. SUMMARY California Government Code Section 66000, et seq. requires local agencies assessing Development Impact Fees (“DIFs”) and sewer capacity charges to make available specified financial data to the public each fiscal year. This report satisfies that requirement and has been available in the City Clerk’s Office for public review since December 1, 2025. An equivalent report for the Parkland Acquisition and Development (“PAD”) fees and Parking In-Lieu Fees is included in this report for ease of reference and convenience to the public. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The proposed activity has been reviewed for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) and has been determined that the activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines because the 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. Page 489 of 1137 City of Chula Vista - City Council January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda P a g e | 2 BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION Not Applicable DISCUSSION The City of Chula Vista (“City”) collects several types of Development Impact Fees, Parkland Acquisition and Development Fees, Trunk Sewer Capital Reserve Fees, and a Parking In-Lieu Fee which were assessed during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025. The major categories of facilities financed via DIFs include transportation, traffic signals, pedestrian bridges, drainage, sewer, and public facilities. Development Impact Fees are updated in two manners: 1) Through a comprehensive DIF program review; or 2) a Council-enacted automatic annual adjustment, based upon an appropriate index. There were no comprehensive DIF updates completed in fiscal year 2024-25 (“FY 2024-25”). In October of 2024, the following automatic index-based annual adjustments went into effect: Fee Description (Per Single Family Unit) Previous Amount Updated Amount (Oct 2024) Difference “” “” “” “” Other fees addressed in this report remain at the same rate as the previous fiscal year. Page 490 of 1137 City of Chula Vista - City Council January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda P a g e | 3 DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES Eastern Transportation Development Impact Fee (“ETDIF”) The ETDIF was established on January 12, 1988, via Ordinance No. 2251 to finance and coordinate the construction of new transportation facilities so that new streets are built when needed to serve new development. This fee is applicable to all new developments east of Interstate 805. Prior to the program, streets were built by developers in a fragmented fashion. In addition, equity issues arose, as some developers with frontages on large streets were required to improve those streets while other developers with only smaller local street frontages had less improvement requirements. Now, all developers in the eastern portion of Chula Vista pay the same fee per average daily trip (“ADT”) based on the number of vehicle trips generated for a specific land use. The City then constructs the street, or a developer performs the construction. If the developer constructs the street, they receive a ETDIF fee credit which is then applied towards payment of these fees at time of final inspection. The ETDIF is subject to an annual index-based adjustment. On October 1, 2024, the fee increased from $1,764.70 to $1,810.80 per ADT. The rate per single-family dwelling unit increased from $17,647 to $18,108. Detailed FY 2024-25 financial information is presented in Attachment 1, Schedule A of this report. Western Transportation Development Impact Fee (“WTDIF”) The WTDIF was adopted on March 18, 2008, via Ordinances No. 3106 through No. 3110 to finance and coordinate the construction of new transportation facilities in the western neighborhoods of the City, as well as to spread the costs associated with the construction of the facilities equitably among the developing properties within the benefit area. The WTDIF is subject to an annual index-based adjustment. On October 1, 2024, the fee increased from $532.20 to $550.83 per ADT. The rate per single-family dwelling unit increased from $5,322 to $5,508. Detailed FY 2024-25 financial information is presented in Attachment 1, Schedule B of this report. Bayfront Transportation Development Impact Fee (“BFDIF”) The BFDIF was adopted on November 18, 2014, via Ordinance No. 3327 to finance and coordinate the construction of new transportation facilities in the Chula Vista Bayfront area, as well as to spread the costs associated with the construction of the facilities equitably among the developing properties within the benefit area. This fee is applicable to new developments in the Chula Vista Bayfront area, generally described as properties west of Interstate 5 and between E Street and Naples Street. The BFDIF is subject to an annual index-based adjustment. On October 1, 2024, the fee increased from $1,286.42 to $1,331.44 per ADT. The rate per single-family dwelling unit increased from $12,864 to $13,314. Detailed FY 2024-25 financial information is presented in Attachment 1, Schedule C of this report.

The Village 11 Pedestrian Bridge DIF is subject to an an nual index-based adjustment. On October 1, 2024, the fee increased from $3,170 to $3,253 per single-family dwelling unit. Detailed FY 2024-25 financial information is presented in Attachment 1, Schedule F. Eastern Urban Center (Millenia) Pedestrian Bridge Development Impact Fee The Eastern Urban Center (Millenia) Pedestrian Bridge DIF was adopted to finance and facilitate construction of the Eastlake Parkway Pedestrian Bridge in the Eastern Urban Center (Millenia) project area. The facility has been completed and is in use. The fee will be assessed on a small remaining area within the Eastern Urban Center (Millenia) when it is developed. The fees collected will be reimbursed to the developer Page 492 of 1137 City of Chula Vista - City Council January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda P a g e | 5 who constructed the bridge. The EUC Pedestrian Bridge DIF was established with an initial rate of $615.13 per single-family dwelling unit via Ordinance No. 3273, adopted in August of 2013.

Public Facilities Development Impact Fee (“PFDIF”) The PFDIF was adopted to finance and facilitate construction of public facilities necessary to serve new development. The fee includes six (6) components. All components are subject to an annual index-based adjustment. On October 1, 2024, the combined fee increased from $14,286 to $14,680 per single-family dwelling unit. Detailed FY 2024-25 financial information is presented in Attachment 1, Schedule G of this report. The components of the PFDIF, including current fees per single family dwelling are as follows:  Administration ($860) - Administration of the PFDIF program, oversight of expenditures and revenues, preparation of updates, calculation of costs, etc.  Civic Center Expansion ($4,284) - Expansion of the Civic Center per the 1989 Civic Center Master Plan to provide sufficient building space and parking needed to serve new development. The Civic Center Master Plan was updated in July 2001 to include impacts of Otay Ranch development. Project phases included the remodel and expansion of City Hall, remodel of the Public Services Building and remodel of the former Police Facility, Community Development and Legislative Buildings, including associated capital expenses.  Police Facility ($2,395) - Improvements per the Civic Center Master Plan to provide sufficient building space and associated facilities needed to serve new development. Improvements include construction of a new police facility, upgrading the communications center and installation of new communication consoles. This fee also includes the purchase and installation of a computer-aided dispatch system (“CAD”), Police Records Management System, Mobile Data Terminals, and police vehicles.  Corporation Yard Relocation ($643) - Relocation of the City’s Public Works Center from the Bayfront area to the more centrally located site on Maxwell Road. Also includes the purchase of new vehicles directly attributable to new development and the need to maintain an expanding infrastructure network.  Libraries ($2,463) - Improvements include construction of the South Chula Vista Library and future planned libraries and installation of an automated library system. This component is based on the facility needs identified in the Library Master Plan and is applicable to new residential development only.  Fire Suppression System ($2,165) – The 1999 Fire Station Master Plan, as addended in 2018, includes new fire stations, training facilities, fire apparatus, and a communications tower that are required to serve new development. Page 493 of 1137 City of Chula Vista - City Council January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda P a g e | 6  Major Recreation Facilities ($1,870) - Component added in November 2002 to build major recreation facilities required to serve new development such as community centers, gymnasiums, swimming pools, and senior/teen centers. This component is based on the facility needs identified in the Park & Recreation Master Plan and is applicable to new residential development only. Although the majority of the public facility project costs are borne by new development, it is important to note that some public facility projects contain both a City and new development cost share. The City share often reflects “joint impetus” projects, which are necessitated by growth and non-growth factors and/or the City’s obligation to correct pre-existing space/equipment deficiencies. The PFDIF fees only relate to new development’s cost share for each component. Parkland Acquisition and Development (“PAD”) In-Lieu Fees The Parkland Acquisition and Development in-lieu fees were adopted by the City to acquire neighborhood and community parkland and to construct parks, including recreational amenities.

The development component of the fee is applicable citywide and is subject to an annual index-based adjustment. On October 1, 2024, the development component increased from $9,533 to $9,626 per single- family dwelling unit.

The PAD fee is applicable to new residential development only. In fiscal year 2013-14, the fee requirement for hotel and motel developments was eliminated via Ordinance No. 2014-3303. Detailed FY 2024-25 financial information is presented in Attachment 2 of this report. Trunk Sewer Capital Reserve Fees (Sewer Capacity) The Trunk Sewer Capital Reserve fee was established in 1985 by Ordinance No. 2107 to finance all or a portion of the cost to enlarge sewer facilities to enhance efficiency of utilization and/or adequacy of sewer capacity. The fee program was last comprehensively updated in 2014, decreasing the fee per EDU from $3,478 to $3,450. The 2014 action also authorized annual index-based updates. An index-based update was implemented on October 1, 2024, increasing the fee from $4,671 to $4,793 per EDU. Detailed FY 2024-25 financial information is presented in Attachment 3 of this report. Parking In-Lieu Fee Established in 1980, the City’s Parking In-Lieu Fee program allows for development projects within the City’s Downtown Parking District to accommodate a portion of their minimum parking requirements off-site.

Therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3) no environmental review is required. Recommended Action Adopt a resolution authorizing (1) staff to submit a grant application for the 2025-2026 Whale Tail Grants Program; and (2) the City Manager to execute related grant documents. SUMMARY The California Coastal Commission’s Whale Tail Grants Program funds projects that connect people to the California coast and its watersheds through education, stewardship, and outdoor experiences. As part of the application process, the California Coastal Commission requires applicants to receive authorization to submit a grant application and to authorize the City Manager to execute all related grant documents. Staff are requesting City Council’s authorization for both actions. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The proposed activity has been reviewed for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) and it has been determined that the activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the state CEQA Guidelines because it will not result in a physical change in the environment. Therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Page 517 of 1137 City of Chula Vista - City Council January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda P a g e | 2 BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION Not applicable DISCUSSION The California Coastal Commission’s Whale Tail Grants Program was established in 1998 to support projects that connect the public with California’s coast through education, stewardship, and outdoor experiences, with an emphasis on engaging communities that face barriers to accessing coastal and marine education. With this authorization, the Department of Parks and Recreation proposes a project that combines education and art to increase community interest in and understanding of Chula Vista’s ecosystem and coastal environment. The project would provide Chula Vista families and youth with educational and creative opportunities through workshops, art sessions, and the installation of bilingual educational signage. This project is estimated to be $28,799, which is anticipated to be fully offset by the grant if awarded. Staff are requesting City Council authorization to submit the grant application and to authorize the City Manager to execute all related grant documents. If the grant is awarded, the Department will return to City Council with a future action to accept and appropriate the grant funds. DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT Staff have reviewed the property holdings of the City Council members and have 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 are not independently aware and have 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 This resolution authorizes staff to submit an application, therefore there is no fiscal im pact resulting from this resolution. Should the Grant be awarded, staff will return with a future action to accept and appropriate funds based on the award amount. It is anticipated that the funds received from the California Coastal Commission would fully fund the proposed project, offsetting proposed costs of the grant program, and resulting in no net fiscal impact to the General Fund. ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT There is no ongoing fiscal impact as a result of this action.

Download the grant application form at www.coastal.ca.gov/whaletailgrant. INTRODUCTION The California Coastal Commission’s WHALE TAIL® Grants Program funds projects that connect people to the California Coast and its watersheds through education, stewardship, and outdoor experiences. Education and stewardship projects relating to climate change as it impacts the coast and ocean are eligible and encouraged. Adopt-A-Beach® programs, as well as other beach stewardship and coastal habitat restoration projects that have an educational component, are also eligible. WHALE TAIL® Grants focus on reaching communities all over California that face barriers accessing marine education and stewardship opportunities. Attachment A contains brief summaries of some recent grant projects. BACKGROUND The California Coastal Commission started the WHALE TAIL® Competitive Grants Program in 1998 with funding from purchases of California’s WHALE TAIL® License Plate. In 2014, the Protect Our Coast and Oceans Fund was added to the California state tax return’s Voluntary Contributions section to provide taxpayers the option to contribute to the WHALE TAIL® Grants Program. In 2021, the state budget provided one-time funding to the program. The Coastal Commission is a state regulatory and planning agency that operates under the 1976 Coastal Act to manage the conservation and development of coastal resources in California. The Commission’s Public Education Program works to increase public knowledge of coastal and marine resources and to engage the public in coastal protection and restoration activities. OTHER RESOURCES The Coastal Commission offers a wide variety of free education resources and programs. Find them here and coastforyou.org. Learn how to adopt a beach on the Adopt-A-Beach® website. Contact us at coast4u@coastal.ca.gov if you want to start a program in an area that does not currently have one. Adopt-A-Beach® Managers are designated by Coastal Commission staff to operate the program locally and serve as the liaison with the Commission. If you’re interested in a grant to purchase a beach wheelchair and your organization is able to manage a public lending program, contact us at coast4u@coastal.ca.gov. When appropriate, educators may consider integrating into their projects the principles and concepts of ocean literacy, California’s Environmental Principles and Concepts, and applicable California State Content Standards. Page 522 of 1137 City of Chula Vista - City Council January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda 2 OCEAN PROTECTION COUNCIL For the 2025-26 competitive grant cycle, funding is being generously provided through a partnership with the California Ocean Protection Council (OPC). Background on OPC OPC was established in 2004 through the California Ocean Protection Act and operates under the California Natural Resources Agency. OPC’s mission is to protect California’s coast and ocean by advancing innovative, science-based policy and management, making strategic investments, and catalyzing action through partnerships and collaboration. These efforts deliver significant benefits to the state while providing a global model for ecosystem-based protection and conservation. OPC is charged with safeguarding the health and resilience of coastal and ocean ecosystems for the benefit of all Californians. OPC Goals and Priorities In 2020, OPC adopted its Strategic Plan to Protect California’s Coast and Ocean, which outlined OPC’s goals and priorities through 2025. OPC is currently developing its Strategic Plan for 2026– 2030, which will provide an ambitious, science-based roadmap for protecting California’s coast and ocean through the end of this decade. OPC strives to engage, partner, and collaborate with environmental justice communities, underserved populations, and California Native American tribes to ensure all projects and actions provide benefits to all Californians now and for future generations. OPC’s priorities are centered around coastal and ocean access for all, inclusive and accessible engagement in decision-making, and embedding equity within all OPC programs. Learn more in OPC’s Equity Plan and Tribal Engagement Strategy. OPC Funding Funding for the 2025-26 WHALE TAIL® Competitive Grants cycle comes from California Climate Investments, a statewide initiative that puts billions of Cap-and-Invest, formerly known as Cap- and-Trade, dollars to work. In the Budget Act of 2024 (AB 107), $27.5 million was appropriated to OPC to support resilience projects that conserve, protect, and restore marine wildlife and healthy coastal and ocean ecosystems. More information, including links to OPC’s General Grant Guidelines, funding opportunities, can be found on OPC’s Funding Webpage.

Note: Organizations that cannot provide this documentation may still be eligible to apply for WHALE TAIL® grants under the general funding pool but will not be considered under the tribal set-aside. Eligible Projects We strongly encourage projects engaging communities that face barriers accessing coastal and marine education and stewardship. We also look for applicant organizations based in and composed of the communities they are engaging. We strive for a broad geographic distribution of projects across California. Projects must engage communities in California and include education about coastal and marine environments. This may include classroom-based programs, field trips, climate change education and stewardship, coastal habitat restoration or shoreline cleanup programs with community involvement, community or participatory science, cultural and ancestral practice preservation, workforce development, and much more. Projects can engage participants of any age. If a project will take place in an inland area or on a bay, the proposal should address how the project includes coastal and marine educational content, including how the connection to the coast and ocean will be emphasized. Please see Attachment A for brief summaries of some recent WHALE TAIL® Grants. Grant Size & Reimbursement Approximately $2,000,000 will be awarded in total, with approximately $1,000,000 reserved for projects led by California Native American tribes, tribally-led entities, and organizations serving and/or engaging California Native American tribal communities.

Therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3) no environmental review is required. Recommended Action Adopt a resolution accepting the Federal Emergency Management Agency Assistance to Firefighters Grant Award of $331,963.63 and appropriating funds for that purpose. (4/5 Vote Required) SUMMARY The Chula Vista Fire Department has been awarded a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) under the Wellness and Fitness category in the amount of $331,963.63. The awarded funds will be used to enhance and modernize the Department’s annual medical evaluation program and move toward greater alignment with National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 1582 standards. 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. Page 535 of 1137 City of Chula Vista - City Council January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda P a g e | 2 BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION This item is scheduled to be presented to the Measure A Citizens Oversight Committee (COC) at a special meeting on January 15, 2026. At the time of agenda publication, the COC has not yet convened. If the COC does not confirm compliance during its meeting, staff will pull the item for presentation. DISCUSSION The Chula Vista Fire Department currently maintains an occupational medical evaluation program that includes a basic medical screening provided through Sharp Rees-Stealy Occupational Medicine. This screening consists of a general physical examination and respiratory testing. In addition, Fire Department personnel participate in periodic fitness testing, limited laboratory testing, and related training programs through Santa Ana College. Collectively, these measures provide a foundational approach to monitoring employee health and fitness. However, the existing program is under the recommended scope of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 1582 Standard on Comprehensive Occupational Medical Programs for Fire Departments. The Chula Vista Fire Department has been awarded $331,963.63 in grant funding from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), through its Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) Program, and is requesting authorization from the City Council to accept the AFG Program funds in order to enhance its occupational medical program and move toward greater alignment with NFPA 1582. NFPA 1582 establishes nationally recognized, evidence-based medical evaluation criteria intended to support firefighter health, safety, and operational readiness. Full implementation of the standard involves recurring medical examinations, baseline and follow-up physical assessments, specialized testing, and appropriate recordkeeping, which result in ongoing program costs. The AFG Program grant funds will be used for eligible program expenses, including expanded medical evaluations, full spectrum laboratory testing (such as full hormone panels), diagnostic cancer screenings, fitness assessments, and associated program administration. Acceptance of the grant wi ll allow the Fire Department to enhance its occupational health program without placing undue strain on the City’s General Fund resources. Enhancing the Fire Department’s medical evaluation program is expected to support employee health and wellness, reduce occupational risk, and improve the Department’s ability to demonstrate medically defensible fitness-for-duty practices. Over time, these improvements may help reduce long-term costs related to work-related injury, illness, workers’ compensation claims, and employee absences. Ensuring that personnel are medically qualified for duty supports effective emergency response and service delivery to the community. Staff recommends that the City Council authorize acceptance of AFG Program grant funding in the amount of $331,963.63 to support these occupational health program enhancements. 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.). Page 536 of 1137 City of Chula Vista - City Council January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda P a g e | 3 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 Approval of this resolution will result in the acceptance of $331,963.63 in grant revenues from FEMA for the AFG program and amend the fiscal year 2025-26 budget by appropriating $331,963.63 in the supplies and services category of the Fire Grants section of the Federal Grants Fund. The grant requires a City match of $33,196.37. The City’s share of the grant match of $33,196.37 will be funded from current appropriations in the Fire Department’s Measure A fiscal year 2025-26 budget. ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT Future maintenance costs will be included as part of the annual budget development process and funded by the Measure A Fund.

If FEMA approves a payment, it will process the payment through FEMA GO and the payment will be delivered pursuant to the recipients SAM.gov nancial information. If FEMA disapproves a payment, FEMA will inform the recipient. Processing and Payment Timeline FEMA must comply with regulations governing payments to grant recipients. See 2 C.F.R. § 200.305. For grant recipients other than States, 2 C.F.R. § 200.305(b)(3) stipulates that FEMA is to make payments on a reimbursement basis within 30 days after receipt of the payment request, unless FEMA reasonably believes the request to be improper. For state recipients, 2 C.F.R. § 200.305(a) instructs that federal grant payments are governed by Treasury- State Cash Management Improvement Act (CMIA) agreements ("Treasury- State agreement") and default procedures codied at 31 C.F.R. part 205 and Treasury Financial Manual (TFM) 4A-2000, "Overall Disbursing Rules for All Federal Agencies." See 2 C.F.R. § 200.305(a). Treasury-State agreements generally apply to "major federal assistance programs" that are governed by 31 C.F.R. part 205, subpart A and are identied in the Treasury-State agreement. 31 C.F.R. §§ 205.2, 205.6. Where a federal assistance (grant) program is not governed by subpart A, payment and funds transfers from FEMA to the state are subject to 31 C.F.R. part 205, subpart B. Subpart B requires FEMA to "limit a funds transfer to a state to the minimum amounts needed by the state and must time the disbursement to be in accord with the actual, immediate cash requirements of the state in carrying out a federal assistance program or project. The timing and amount of funds transfers must be as close as is administratively feasible to a state's actual cash outlay for direct program costs and the proportionate share of any allowable indirect costs." 31 C.F.R. § 205.33(a). Nearly all FEMA grants are not "major federal assistance programs." As a result, payments to states for those grants are subject to the "default" rules of 31 C.F.R. part 205, subpart B. If additional information is needed, a request for information will be issued by FEMA to the recipient; recipients are strongly encouraged to respond to any additional FEMA request for information inquiries within three business days. If an adequate response is not received, the request may be denied, and the entity may need to submit a new reimbursement request; this will re-start the 30-day timeline.

Recommended Action Adopt resolutions: (A) Approving the Fourth Amendment to the Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) between the City of Chula Vista and the Chula Vista Police Officer’s Association (“POA”); (B) Approving the revised Fiscal Year 2025-26 Compensation Schedule effective January 23, 2026, as required by the California Code of Regulations, Title 2, Section 570.5; (C) Amending the authorized position count in the Police Department: and (D) Amending the fiscal year 2025-26 budget to appropriate funds, accordingly (4/5 Vote Required). SUMMARY On May 14, 2024, the City Council approved the Third Amendment to the Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Chula Vista and the Chula Vista Police Officer’s Association (POA) related to wages and other terms and conditions of employment. After meeting and conferring in good faith pursuant to the Meyers Milias-Brown Act ("MMBA"), the City and POA desire to enter into a fourth amendment to the MOU, relating to wages. Staff is also recommending approval of the revised Fiscal Year 2025-26 Compensation Schedule effective January 23, 2026, as required by the California Code of Regulations, Title 2, Section 570.5. Page 575 of 1137 City of Chula Vista - City Council January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda P a g e | 2 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 California Environmental Quality Act State Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3) no environmental review is required. BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION Allocation of the fifteen Peace Officer positions that were funded subsequent to the passage of Measure A to the Measure A Sales Tax Fund was presented at a Special Meeting of the Measure A Citizens’ Oversight Committee on January 8, 2026. The Committee confirmed that this allocation was in compliance with the Measure A Spending Plan. DISCUSSION Fourth Amendment to the MOU with the Chula Police Officers’ Association The City of Chula Vista and the and the Chula Vista Police Officer’s Association bargaining group entered into a memorandum of understanding covering the period of May 4, 2021, to June 30, 2024, which was subsequently extended to June 30, 2027. The City and the POA bargaining group have met in good faith as required by the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act (“MMBA") and desire to amend their MOU regarding Article 2.01 Wages. The fourth amendment to the POA MOU has been prepared to reflect the above desired amendments and is included as Attachment 1 to this staff report. In recent years, the City has experienced a significant decline in the number of qualified Peace Officer candidates. In 2025, only five percent (5%) of applicants for Peace Officer positions were deemed qualified. As a result of this trend, the Police Department currently has 28 sworn vacancies, representing approximately 9.5% of the sworn workforce. To improve the quantity and quality of candidates, staff recommend adding a seventh salary step to the POA-represented classifications, increasing the top step for these positions by five percent (5%). Adoption of Resolution A will approve the Fourth Amendment to the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the City of Chula Vista and the Chula Vista Police Officers’ Association, covering the period of May 4, 2021, through June 30, 2024, and subsequently extended through June 30, 2027. Compensation Schedule Requirement California Code of Regulations, Title 2, Section 570.5 requires that, for purposes of determining a retiring employee's pension allowance, the pay rate be limited to the amount listed on a pay schedule that meets certain requirements, including approval by the City’s governing body in accordance with the requirements of applicable public meeting laws. The revised Fiscal Year 2025-26 Compensation Schedule ("Compensation Schedule") was last approved by the City Council at their meeting on December 16, 2025. Adoption of Resolution B will approve the revised Fiscal Year 2025-26 Compensation Schedule effective January 23, 2026, reflecting the adjusted salaries for the Chula Vista Police Officer’s Association employee group. Page 576 of 1137 City of Chula Vista - City Council January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda P a g e | 3 Authorized Position Count in the Police Department The Measure A Sales Tax Fund currently funds several sworn positions and programs throughout the department to enhance public safety and operational efficiencies. Staff is recommending allocating fifteen Peace Officer positions funded subsequent to the passage of Measure A on June 5, 2018 to the Measure A Sales Tax Fund, as shown on the table below: Department Position Title FTE General Fund General Fund Total -15.00 Measure A Sales Tax Fund Measure A Sales Tax Fund Total 15.00 All Funds Total 15.00 Adoption of Resolution C will amend the authorized position count in the Police Department as noted above. Budget Amendments Approval of Resolution D will amend the fiscal year 2025-26 Measure A Sales Tax Fund budget increasing appropriations from fund balance by $1,342,623 in the Personnel Services category for the Police Department as a result of the position and compensation changes described above. 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 this item results in the following current-year fiscal impacts:  General Fund: No net fiscal impact. Increased compensation costs of $1,304,149 will be fully offset by the transfer of 15.0 FTEs to the Measure A fund.  State Grants Fund: No net fiscal impact. Increased compensation costs of $22,015 will be fully offset by other savings within the fund.  Measure A Sales Tax Fund: Net fiscal impact of $1,342,623, to be paid from fund balance. This item also amends the fiscal year 2025-26 budget by appropriating $1,342,623 of available fund balance to the Personnel Services Category of the Measure A Sales Tax Fund. Page 577 of 1137 City of Chula Vista - City Council January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda P a g e | 4 ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT Approval of this item results in the following ongoing fiscal impacts:  General Fund: No net fiscal impact. Increased compensation costs will be offset by the transfer of 15.0 FTEs to the Measure A fund.  State Grants Fund: No net fiscal impact. Increased compensation costs will be offset by other savings within the fund.  Measure A Sales Tax Fund: Increased costs totaling $2,849,080 in fiscal year 2026-27, increasing to $2,989,393 in fiscal year 2027-28.

By Albert Fulcher 11/24/2023 •Chula Vista City Attorney candidate Attorney Marco Verdugo held a press conference in the Chula Vista City Council courtyard Monday, proposing a three-point comprehensive Anti-Corruption Action Plan to fight corruption and hold City Hall accountable. •Verdugo’s three-point plan is to reinforce the City’s system of checks and balances by convening legal experts to recommend revisions to the City Charter, including granting the City the authority to investigate and recommend the suspension of council members’ authority by a four -fifths super majority when there is evidence of corruption or malfeasance in office, with a clawback provision that requires them to pay back their salary during their suspension if they are convicted of a felony, and to establish a transparent process for the City’s actions, ensuring due process and protecting against political misuse of power. •Verdugo said suspending a council member by revising the City Charter is legally sound.

Do not click any links and do not open attachments unless you can conﬁrm the sender. PLEASE REPORT SUSPICIOUS EMAILS BY USING THE PHISH ALERT REPORT BUTTON or to reportphishing@chulavistaca.gov To the Honorable Mayor and City Council Members, I am writing to express my concerns regarding the current trajectory of the University Innovation District (UID) and to propose a more resilient, economically viable alternative for the 380-acre site. While the goal of bringing higher education to South County is noble, the traditional large- scale university model faces two major hurdles on this speciﬁc site: Redundancy and Public Safety. With several major universities already serving the San Diego region, and the site’s location in a High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, we must ask if bringing 20,000 daily commuters and residents into a wildland-interface area is the most responsible use of land. Instead, I urge the Council to pivot toward an AI Data Center & Clean Energy Manufacturing Hub. This "Modern UID" would offer several superior beneﬁts: • Public Safety & Fire Mitigation: A data center is a low-occupancy facility. In a wildﬁre event, evacuating a small skeleton crew of technicians is signiﬁcantly safer and faster than attempting to evacuate a massive university campus. • Economic Engine: High-tier data centers generate massive property and sales tax revenue from the specialized hardware inside. This provides the city with a consistent "innovation" tax base without the heavy burden on local traffic and transit infrastructure. Page 677 of 1137 City of Chula Vista - City Council January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda Written Communications – PC Garcia – Received 1/14/2026 • Synergy with Clean Energy: Chula Vista has the opportunity to lead in "Green AI." By requiring these facilities to be powered by on-site solar and battery storage, we can catalyze the clean energy manufacturing sector right here in the South Bay. • Workforce of the Future: We can still partner with SDSU or UCSD to create a "Satellite Research Lab" on-site, where students gain hands-on experience with the AI infrastructure powering the global economy, without needing the footprint of a full traditional campus. Let’s not build for the 20th century. Let’s make Chula Vista the "Compute Capital" of the San Diego region while prioritizing the safety of our residents and the preservation of our land.

The right-of-way vacation is not a “Project” pursuant to Section 15378(b)(5) of the CEQA Guidelines. RECOMMENDED ACTIONS Conduct the public hearing and adopt resolutions: A) Approving a vacation of the portion of Walnut Drive between Main Street and Spruce Road and approving a tentative map (TM22-0004) creating an 11-unit condominium density bonus project with site improvements; and B) Declaring the City-owned real property located between Main Street and Spruce Road consisting of a 4,552-square foot portion of Walnut Drive, exempt surplus land. SUMMARY Georgia Properties, Inc. (the “Applicant”) proposes an 11-unit condominium density bonus project on a 1.06- acre parcel at the intersection of Main Street and Maple Drive (the “Project”). The Project includes a vacation request for an undeveloped portion of Walnut Drive and offers one (1) of the residential units at an affordable price for very low-income buyers. The Project Site is in the Single-Family Residence (“R1-P7”) zone and has a General Plan land use designation of Low-Medium Residential (“RLM”). Prior to vacating the undeveloped public right-of-way portion of Walnut Drive, the City must declare the real property as exempt surplus land pursuant to Government Code Section 54221(f)(1)(B). Page 699 of 1137 City of Chula Vista - City Council January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda P a g e | 2 ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The Project was reviewed for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) and determined that the Project qualifies for a Class 32 Categorical Exemption pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15332 (In-Fill Development Projects) because it is consistent with the General Plan land use designation and the applicable zoning regulations for the Project Site; the Project Site is no more than five (5) acres in area and is surrounded by urban uses and has no value as habitat for endangered, rare, or threatened species; the Project would not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality; and the Project Site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services. The right-of-way vacation is found to be exempt from CEQA because it is not a “project” under Section 15378(b)(5) of the CEQA Guidelines. Therefore, no further environmental review is required. BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION Not applicable. DISCUSSION The Project is located within an established community in the southwestern portion of Chula Vista (Attachment 1) and is consistent with the surrounding built environment as outlined in Table 1 below: Table 1 – Surrounding Land Uses Low-Medium Residential (RLM) Single-Family Residence (R1-P7) Vacant Medium-High Residential (RMH) One- and Two-Family Residence (R2P) Townhomes Low-Medium Residential (RLM)Single-Family Residence (R1-P7)Single-family homes Low-Medium Residential (RLM) Single-Family Residence (R1-P7) Vacant Medium Residential (RLM) Apartment Residential (R3-P8) Single-family homes Right-of-Way Vacation Bisecting the Project Site is a flood zone that restricts development that can occur on the eastern portion of the parcel. Much of the eastern half is rendered undevelopable for housing. Additionally, the current alignment of Spruce Road, running the length of the northern boundary of the Project Site, encroaches onto the Applicant’s property and further restricts the developable footprint of the Project Site. Given these constraints, the Applicant is seeking to expand the developable area by vacating the southern portion of Walnut Drive right-of-way. The undeveloped Walnut Drive right-of-way runs the length of the western boundary of the Project Site, and if vacated, the Project’s footprint would expand, allowing the Applicant to develop a portion of the Project in the vacated right-of-way. Page 700 of 1137 City of Chula Vista - City Council January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda P a g e | 3 Pursuant to Chula Vista Municipal Code (“CVMC”) Section 12.40.010, the City Engineer, in collaboration with the Director of Development Services and the Director of Public Works, have conducted reasonable investigations to ascertain whether the public interest would be served by vacating Walnut Drive public right-of-way between Main Street and Spruce Road. Improving the right-of-way for vehicular use has no community benefit, as the street would not enhance circulation in the area, and the street has no other present or potential public use. Therefore, Staff recommends that this right-of-way be vacated. Surplus Lands Act The portion of Walnut Drive proposed for a right-of-way vacation is owned in-fee by the City. As such, it is subject to the Surplus Land Act, or Government Code Sections 54220-54234. Under the Surplus Land Act, any land owned by a public agency must be prioritized for the development of affordable housing, parks, or open space when the agency disposes of the unwanted land. However, it allows for certain exemptions from this requirement. Pursuant to Government Code Section 54221(f)(1)(B), because the property is less than one-half acre in area and is not contiguous to land owned by a state or local agency that is used for open space or low- and moderate-income housing purposes, the land is exempt from the provisions of the Surplus Land Act. Government Code Section 54221(b)(1) requires the City Council to take formal action at a regular public meeting to declare the Property exempt surplus land, as supported by written findings, before the City may take any action to dispose of the Property. The written findings supporting an exempt surplus land declaration must be provided to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (“HCD”) for review at least 30 days before the City’s disposition of the land pursuant to Section 400(e) of the HCD’s Surplus Land Act Guidelines. HCD has responded to the City’s findings and concurred with the qualification of Government Code Section 54221(f)(1)(B) for the subject property (See Attachment 2-Draft Resolution and Attachment 6-HCD Correspondence). Density Bonus The Project proposes to apply State Density Bonus Law (Government Code Section 65915) by providing an affordable unit deed restricted to a household of very low income (50 percent area median income). In accordance with State Density Bonus Law, providing this unit at the indicated level of affordability entitles the Applicant to a density bonus of up to 46.25 percent. Since the underlying zone allows a maximum of seven (7) dwellings, the density bonus will allow four (4) additional units for a maximum of 11 dwelling units (46.25 percent of seven (7) units equals 3.24, rounded up to four additional units). Additionally, the State Density Bonus Law allows for the waiver of development standards that would physically preclude the Project from being constructed at the density permitted after utilizing State Density Bonus Law. The Applicant requests waivers of each of the development standards italicized in Table 2 below with the following proposed standards, underlined for visibility. The Applicant must meet all other applicable standards and regulations for the Project. Page 701 of 1137 City of Chula Vista - City Council January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda P a g e | 4 Table 2 – Development Standards EXISTING : Front: 15 feet Side: 13 feet (combined)/10 feet (exterior) Rear: 20 feet Front: 15 feet Side: 13 (combined)/10 feet (exterior) Rear: 15 feet 28 feet 35 feet 2.5 stories 3 stories 0.45 0.50 Because the State Density Bonus Law authorizes the construction of up to 11 units, the Applicant also requests a waiver of the requirement limiting one detached dwelling on a single lot in the R1 zone. The Applicant is requesting the waivers because of the constraints of the property that make development of the units infeasible as detached units. Meeting all of the City’s development standards would prevent the Project’s permitted development. In accordance with State Density Bonus Law, the City may not apply any development standard that would physically prevent development at the permitted density unless the waiver or reduction would have a specific adverse impact upon health or safety with no feasible way to mitigate it. The City is further limited in its ability to deny waivers unless they would have an adverse impact on properties listed in the California Register of Historical Resources or would be contrary to state or federal law. Staff has determined that no such impacts would result from the requested waivers. Tentative Map The following describes the Project’s tentative map consistency with the CVMC and the Subdivision Manual. Subdivision Design The Project consists of an 11-unit condominium map on 1.06 acres, served by a major throughfare, Main Street (Attachment 2). The homeowners’ association, required as part of the tentative map approval, will be responsible for the maintenance of the private driveway and landscaped areas. Dedications In accordance with the California Subdivision Map Act (Government Code §66475 et seq.), the applicant shall provide an irrevocable offer of dedication (IOD) for 17 feet of public right-of-way along the northerly side of Main Street between Maple Drive and Walnut Drive, seven (7) feet of public right-of-way along the westerly side of Maple Drive between Spruce Road and Main Street, and a variable-width strip of public right-of-way along the southerly side of Spruce Road between Maple Drive and Walnut Drive. The IODs are conditioned to be granted by notation on the Final Map as shown on the Tentative Map. Grading To create the building pad, grading of the Project will consist of moving approximately 78,300 cubic feet of soil. The soil on the site can support the new development, but some earthwork and grading will need to occur prior to construction of any improvements. Page 702 of 1137 City of Chula Vista - City Council January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda P a g e | 5 The top one (1) to two (2) feet of soil will be treated and compacted. In the northeastern portion of the site, three (3) feet of the existing San Diego formation will be removed and replaced with compacted fill. For the building areas, the top three (3) feet of soil will also be compacted, and the land will be graded to slope towards the streets. In accordance with CVMC Chapter 15.05, the Applicant must obtain a grading permit prior to the issuance of any building permits or beginning any earthwork activities at the site. Grading will be consistent with the City’s Subdivision Manual and the Development Storm Water Manual. While tentative maps would normally be reviewed and approved by the Planning Commission, the City Council is the only legislative body authorized to approve street vacations. City Council Policy No. 400-02 requires a consolidated hearing when a single development project requires multiple permits and approvals by more than one decision-making authority. Project Access Vehicular access to the Project Site is provided from Maple Drive. Each unit includes individual garages, and guest parking will be located along an internal private driveway. No vehicular access is proposed from Spruce Road or Main Street. Drainage The proposed onsite private drainage systems will include a mix of overland, gutter, and pipe flows directed to the site basin for treatment, hazard mitigation, and peak flow attenuation. Discharge to the street gutter from the basin will occur at the low point/cross gutter. The Project includes improvements along street frontages, resulting in additional paving widths, curb and gutter, and sidewalk. Sewer The Project Site is within the boundaries of the City of Chula Vista’s wastewater service area. The existing sewer facility system utilizes sewer lines along Maple Drive. The Applicant is required to submit a final sewer study prior to grading permit issuance. Emergency Services The Fire Department reviewed the Project and has approved it with fire access to be facilitated from Maple Drive. Parks and Open Space Two (2) parks are located near the Project Site. Los Niños Park and Loma Verde Park are located 0.32 and one mile north of the Project Site, respectively. The Applicant will be required to pay in-lieu parkland acquisition and development fees pursuant to the requirements of CVMC Section 17.10.070. Schools The Project is in the attendance area of Otay Elementary School, which is within the Chula Vista Elementary School District. The Project is also within the attendance area of Castle Park High School within the Page 703 of 1137 City of Chula Vista - City Council January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda P a g e | 6 Sweetwater Union High School District. The Applicant will be required to pay applicable development fees to the school districts prior to building permit issuance. Housing Impact Statement Neither the subject property nor any portion thereof was identified in the General Plan’s Housing Element to accommodate a portion of the City’s Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) toward addressing regional housing needs. The Project will add 10 market rate townhomes and one very low-income townhome to the City’s existing housing stock. There is no net loss of housing capacity as it pertains to the City’s RHNA. Conclusion The Project complies with the standards, policies, and guidelines outlined in the CVMC and the Subdivision Manual, except where waivers, concessions, or incentives have been requested in accordance with the State Density Bonus Law. The findings for denying such deviations, as outlined in Government Code Section 65915(d)(1), are not met. Staff recommends that the City Council approve the Project as proposed, subject to the conditions in the attached resolution. Staff further recommends that the City Council declare the public right-of-way portion of Walnut Street between Main Street and Spruce Road as exempt surplus land pursuant to Government Code Section 54221(f)(1)(B) as set forth in the attached resolution. DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council and has found no property holdings within 1,000 feet of the boundaries of the property which is the subject of this action. Consequently, this item does not present a disqualifying real property-related financial conflict of interest under California Code of Regulations Title 2, section 18702.2(a)(7) or (8), for purposes of the Political Reform Act (Cal. Gov’t Code §87100, et seq.). Staff is not independently aware and has not been informed by any City Council member of any other fact that may constitute a basis for a decision-maker conflict of interest in this matter. CURRENT-YEAR FISCAL IMPACT There are no current year fiscal impacts to the General Fund or Development Services Fund resulting from this action. All costs incurred processing this application are borne by the Applicant. ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT There are no ongoing fiscal impacts to the General Fund or Development Services Fund resulting from this action. ATTACHMENTS 1. Location Map 2. TM22-0004 Tentative Map 3.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Chula Vista does hereby find and determine as follows: I. STREET VACATION FINDING Based on the evidence submitted and in accordance with Streets and Highways Code section 8324, the City Council finds that the portion of Walnut Drive described in Exhibit A is not necessary for present or prospective public use. Page 707 of 1137 City of Chula Vista - City Council January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda Resolution No. 2026- Page No. 3 II. TENTATIVE MAP FINDINGS Pursuant to Government Code section 66473.5 of the Subdivision Map Act, the City Council finds that the tentative map, as conditioned herein, is consistent with the elements of the City’s General Plan, with specific reference to the following: 1. Land Use The General Plan land use designation is Residential Low Medium (RLM) with the zoning designation Single Family Residence (R1-P7, 7 du/ac). The development shall be carried out in conformity with the applicable land use designations , goals, and objectives of the General Plan’s Land Use and Transportation Element. The Project shall also be eligible for the State Law Density Bonus (SDBL) provisions permitting an increase of up to 46.25 percent above the base residential unit density. The 11 condominium units are consistent with the General Plan, CVMC and SDBL provisions. 2. Urban Circulation In conformance with Chapter 5.4 (Urban Circulation Element) of the General Plan’s Land Use and Transportation Element, the Project includes safe and direct pedestrian pathways that connect residential units to public sidewalks, common areas, and nearby transit stops. There is adequate vehicular access from adjacent public rights-of-way, ensuring safe and efficient ingress and egress for residents, visitors, and emergency vehicles. 3. Economic Development The Project proposes the development of for-sale townhomes, which will provide homebuyers the opportunity to purchase homes in an area lacking diverse housing types and varying costs for different income levels. The proposed homes provide variation in housing opportunities available to Chula Vista residents, consistent with Objective ED 2 of the General Plan’s Economic Development Element. The Project also fosters economic development benefits at the community level by providing for increased housing densities within the same development footprint. These increased densities allow for infrastructure and municipal services to be provided at reduced cost per capita (more people served by the same municipal services). Additionally, with increased housing (and population) within the same development footprint, increased densities improve the viability of community- serving commercial and public/quasi-public uses as well as alternative transportation modes. As a result, the Project may serve as a catalyst for small and midsized industries and businesses, as well as community-serving and neighborhood uses consistent with Objectives ED 3 and ED 9 of the General Plan’s Economic Development Element. Page 708 of 1137 City of Chula Vista - City Council January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda Resolution No. 2026- Page No. 4 4. Housing The subdivision design creates 11 residential condominium units. The proposed Project furthers Goal 2 of the General Plan’s Housing Element by “facilitating the construction and provision of quality housing to meet the City’s diverse needs by type, size, ownership level, and income levels.” Additionally, the proposed project would support Smart Growth Principles, as it provides compact development oriented to pedestrians, bicyclists and transit, and would further minimize urban sprawl development patterns.

Therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3) no environmental review is required. Recommended Action Receive the presentation. SUMMARY The City and its various Authorities periodically issue bonds which contain ongoing legal requirements. Bond and Disclosure Counsel Stradling Yocca Carlson and Rauth have agreed to provide the City Councilmembers with federal securities law training and the opportunity to ask questions regarding the process for preparing the Preliminary Official Statement for proposed sale of bonds. As the City continues to issue debt to either refinance outstanding bonds or finance new projects, training regarding federal securities law matters related to the offer of municipal bonds is recommended. 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. Page 758 of 1137 City of Chula Vista - City Council January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda P a g e | 2 BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION Not applicable. DISCUSSION The purpose of this agenda item is to provide the City Councilmembers with federal securities law training and the opportunity to ask questions regarding the process for preparing the Preliminary Official Statement for proposed sale of bonds. The City of Chula Vista, the Chula Vista Municipal Financing Authority, the Chula Vista Public Financing Authority, and the Chula Vista Bayfront Facilities Finance Authority issue bonds from time to time. These bonds are offered to investors through a Preliminary Official Statement which is similar to a prospectus in the corporate market. It contains the information necessary for investors to make an informed decision regarding the purchase of the bonds. When municipal bonds are sold to investors in a public sale, certain provisions of federal securities laws apply to the offering. Specifically, the offering is governed by federal securities laws which makes it unlawful for an issuer of bonds to make a misstatement of a material fact or to omit a material fact in connection with the bond offering. The Securities and Exchange Commission has made clear through various releases and enforcement actions that the members of the governing board of an issuer of municipal bonds have a duty to review the key elements of the preliminary official statement before bonds are sold. The Securities and Exchange Commission has also emphasized the importance of governing board members and key staff members receiving securities law training so that they are familiar with the federal securities law standards that are applicable to a sale before bonds are offered. DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT Staff have reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and have determined that it is not site-specific and consequently, the real property holdings of the City Councilmembers 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 are not independently aware and have 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.

ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT There is no ongoing fiscal impact as a result of receiving this presentation. ATTACHMENTS None.

Recommended Action Hear a presentation and provide direction to staff, as appropriate, regarding opportunities for greater district-based representation on City boards and commissions. SUMMARY On December 16, 2025, City Council referred to the City Clerk, in coordination with the City Attorney, to review the City’s boards and commissions appointment framework and return with recommended amendments to support greater district-based representation, consistent with legal constraints, subject- matter expertise, and the City Charter. This item provides an overview of the current framework, clarifies key terms, and presents opportunities for City Council consideration and direction to staff. 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. Page 769 of 1137 City of Chula Vista - City Council January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda P a g e | 2 BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION Boards and commissions with potential recommended changes to their structure were notified of this City Council item and invited to provide written or in-person comments at this meeting. DISCUSSION Background This item is based on a December 16, 2025, City Council referral to the City Clerk, in coordination with the City Attorney, to review the City’s boards and commissions appointment framework and return with recommended amendments to support greater district-based representation, consistent with legal constraints, subject-matter expertise, and the City Charter. Key Terms For purposes of this item:  “District-based appointment process” means the District Councilmember serves as the nominating authority for a seat, and the nomination is then brought forward for appointment by the full City Council.  “District residency requirement” means the person appointed to a seat must reside in the specified district at the time of their appointment and throughout their term. Historically, when the district-based appointment process is used, the member is generally required to reside in the corresponding district, with limited exceptions based on a commission’s specific structure. For consistency, staff used that same approach when identifying preliminary opportunities. In all cases, members are appointed by a majority vote of the City Council in accordance with the City Charter. Nominations may come from the Mayor, a City Councilmember, or another authorized nominating authority, depending on the body and seat type. Current Framework The City’s boards and commissions use multiple appointment methods, including the general appointment process, the full City Council interview process, and a district-based appointment process for specific seats. Some bodies also include seats with required subject-matter qualifications or use Charter-mandated or specialized selection procedures. Several commissions already include district-based seats (for example, representatives nominated by each district Councilmember where the member is required to reside in the corresponding district), while others are entirely at-large under the general appointment process. Staff’s review of district residency among current voting members across boards and commissions indicates the following distribution: District 1 (37), District 2 (31), District 3 (29), and District 4 (12), which City Council may wish to consider as it discusses opportunities to expand district-based representation. Page 770 of 1137 City of Chula Vista - City Council January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda P a g e | 3 Several commissions already include seats that use the district-based appointment process and include a district residency requirement (e.g., Health, Wellness, and Aging; Human Relations; Measure A and Measure P Citizens’ Oversight Committees; and Parks and Recreation), while other boards and commissions do not. This item focuses on the preliminary opportunities identified in this report. Boards and commissions not listed are not included in staff’s preliminary recommendations at this time. Staff welcomes any feedback on additional boards and commissions for future consideration. Preliminary Opportunities for City Council Consideration Staff identified two categories of potential opportunities: A. General appointment bodies with minimal seat-specific constraints: For the following commissions/boards, four of the existing at-large seats could be redesignated (one per district) to use the district-based appointment process and include a district residency requirement for those seats:  Board of Library Trustees  Charter Review Commission  Sustainability Commission  Traffic Safety Commission  Veterans Advisory Commission B. Additional opportunities (commissions with seat-specific qualifications and/or a different appointment process): These bodies include seat-specific qualifications and/or alternative appointment methods. Two options are outlined for each.  Cultural Arts Commission: The Municipal Code requires that all nine voting members demonstrate competence, knowledge, and experience in cultural arts, and that at least six members be appointed as “qualified professionals” from among artists, educators, and those with professional qualifications and experience in arts and cultural disciplines. Two options are outlined below: 1. Four of the existing “qualified professional” seats could be redesignated (one per district) to use the district-based appointment process and include a district residency requirement, while maintaining the applicable qualified professional requirement. 2. The commission’s composition could be amended to include five “qualified professional” seats (instead of six), and the remaining four seats could be redesignated (one per district) to use the district-based appointment process and include a district residency requirement. Those four seats would still be required to meet the general Cultural Arts Page 771 of 1137 City of Chula Vista - City Council January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda P a g e | 4 Commission qualifications applicable to all voting members but would not be required to be “qualified professionals.”  Planning Commission: The Planning Commission has seven voting members appointed through the Full City Council Interview Process. The Municipal Code provides for four at -large seats and three “qualified professional” seats, which should be filled by individuals sensitive to design considerations and interested in townscape matters, including architects, landscape architects, land planners, urban planners, civil engineers, and other design professionals with suitable experience. City Council may already consider geographic diversity, including district residency, when making appointments under the current framework; however, there are no formal district representation requirements. Two options are outlined below: 1. Optional geographic guidance could be added to the Planning Commission section of the Municipal Code (e.g., encouraging geographic diversity and noting that district residency may be considered as a factor), while preserving flexibility to appoint the most qualified applicants citywide and without adding a district residency requirement. 2. The four at-large seats could be redesignated (one per district) to include a district residency requirement, while maintaining the Full City Council Interview Process for all appointments. Transition and Continuity If changes are made to seat designations, currently seated members would continue serving through the end of their current terms (i.e., no member would be removed mid-term). When terms expire, individuals seeking reappointment would need to qualify for the seat as structured at that time, including any applicable district residency requirement. The Municipal Code also establishes the process for the City Clerk’s Office to recommend seat redesignations to City Council if seat requirements are changed. Requested City Council Direction / Next Steps Staff seeks City Council direction on the following: 1. Scope: Which boards/commissions, if any, City Council would like staff to move forward with drafting Municipal Code amendments for. 2. Interim appointments: While staff prepares any proposed amendments, whether City Council wishes to continue processing appointments as usual or hold appointments for boards/commissions that may be affected by potential amendments. Following City Council direction, the City Clerk, in coordination with the City Attorney, will prepare an ordinance implementing any changes to the boards and commissions appointment framework. If seat designations or qualifications are modified, the City Clerk’s Office will return to City Council with a subsequent item as provided in the Municipal Code to redesignate seats for affected commissions.

ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT No ongoing fiscal impact associated with receiving the presentation and providing direction to staff. Any future fiscal impacts, if any, would be evaluated if City Council directs subsequent amendments requiring additional resources. ATTACHMENTS 1.

Bedard Chula Vista, CA 91913 December 11, 2025 Hiring Committee South County Higher Education Task Force Subject: Application for Task Force Development Planning Specialist Retiring Navy Chief Petty Officer Dear Hiring Committee, I am writing to express my profound interest in contributing my 24 years of proven executive leadership, operational planning, and global program development experience to the South County Higher Education Task Force. As a recently retired Navy Chief Petty Officer and Independent Duty Corpsman (IDC), and a vested, multi-time homeowner in the Chula Vista community since 2019, I am uniquely positioned to support your mission to establish a brand-new four-year university in our city. My 24-year career required me to function as an autonomous leader in dynamic, resource-constrained, and high-stakes environments—analogous to establishing a complex organization from the ground up. Page 22 Page 818 of 1137 City of Chula Vista - City Council January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda The IDC designation demanded not only advanced clinical judgment but also full responsibility for logistics, comprehensive regulatory adherence, and budget management for all medical operations. My experience directly translates to the Task Force’s needs, specifically in creating foundational health, safety, and operational infrastructure (OSHA, ADA, campus clinic development, and accreditation readiness) that will guarantee a secure and compliant campus from day one. Furthermore, my time as a Fleet Marine Force (FMF) Corpsman and Foreign Military Advisor during multiple combat deployments equipped me with essential skills for your vision. I specialized in building complex programs and relationships from scratch, developing and executing cross-cultural training programs, and overseeing global logistics. This background is invaluable for the new university’s inevitable need for international outreach, establishing study abroad programs, and forging strong, strategic relationships with diverse local stakeholders—all while demonstrating the utmost resilience and adaptability. I am not merely seeking a job; I am seeking a commitment to the community that has been my family’s home for years. I am eager to transition my naval commitment—one based on Honor, Courage, and an unwavering commitment to service—into helping realize the profound educational and economic benefits this university will bring to South County. I welcome the opportunity to meet with the Task Force to detail how my extensive leadership and operational expertise can immediately contribute to your planning phase and ensure the successful, compliant, and timely launch of the new university.

As you will note, I have progressive administrative experience as well as broad-based exposure within the demanding environment of academia, which uniquely qualifies me for this position. I am experienced in the management and administration of budgets, personnel, and facilities and possess competencies in using resources effectively. Working to develop and implement inclusive programs that are designed to build on students’ interests and backgrounds in community service is a specialty. Identifying populations or communities at risk for health disparities is a passion of mine, especially assisting with the directing, instructing, and proving direct exposure, training, and creating new opportunities to work with identified underserved groups of students, to further their passion, help them to gain knowledge and skills, and equip them with what they need to become agents of change and inclusive and diverse health equity conscious leaders. As a current UCSD LEAD Fellow, I am well versed in campus engagement and the facilitation of crucial conversations around improving organizational learning and campus climate. I hold a Doctorate and master’s degree in Educational Leadership with an emphasis in Postsecondary Education, two bachelor’s degrees in Psychology and Africana Studies and several certificates: Community College Instruction, Management and Leadership, “Institute on the Crisis of Young Black Males,” and the “Penn Equity Chula Vista, CA 91910 Page 134 Page 930 of 1137 City of Chula Vista - City Council January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda Institute.” Thus, I am well versed in working as a change agent in cooperative and collaborative ways. I have held leadership roles at the community college, public and private four-year institutions. And in doing so, have been influenced to adopt a student-centered orientation, committed to ensuring student academic, personal and educational success. I understand the importance of grounding organizational development within a sociocultural theory. Especially when working to create “communities of practice” for diverse populations and advancing the concept of equity, inclusion and social justice within organizations. As a student affairs profession, I subscribe to a conscious leadership style determined to lead in purposeful and intentional ways. My leadership platform embraces a commitment to be consciously aware, purposeful, intentional, accountable and responsible. I am committed to enhancing student learning, promoting effective organizational practices, and meeting both departmental and campus goals. As a researcher, I use predicative analysis to inform change management that is inclusive of culturally responsible interpretation. I am committed to demonstrating excellence, while driving agency, with hopes of encouraging institutional transformation, as it relates to overall equity, inclusion and social justice, simple by ensuring organizational change management, strategic planning, professional coaching and managing culture changes. Summary of Experience My approach of building authentic relationships has served me well for many years and as a result I have achieved mature insight into academic systems. I have demonstrated experience communicating with varied cultures and at all levels within organizations. The pandemic presented a unique opportunity for me to design, plan, develop, and create a new office focused on onboarding all incoming first-time freshmen. Recently, I was tasked by the President of California State University, San Marcos to create the Office of Success Coaching, focused on onboarding all newly admitted students into their first year in college. My strengths lie in my ability to attend to detail, work independently, communicate effectively with diverse cultures, and to energize and motivate students and professional staff. I have over twenty years of practical experience in staffing practices, including goal setting, Page 135 Page 931 of 1137 City of Chula Vista - City Council January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda supervision, recruitment, hiring, training, motivating, and evaluation of staff and student employees. My expanded experiences within the field of higher education have afforded me the opportunity to observe the production and quality of work of my staff in real time, develop and implement performance standards using principles of people analytics, mentor, and provide objective feedback, while at the same time offer coaching and counseling as a resource. I possess strong qualitative assessment and evaluation competencies, which have assisted me in negotiating and mediating change and transformation within organizations. Objectively, I am skilled at monitoring and assessing staff capabilities and workloads, and if needed capable of designing training and professional development opportunities. I am fully capable of assessing and evaluating specific workplace challenges and comfortable with applying corrective actions to both students and professional staff. As an expert in change management, I believe in building “communities of practice,” both on and off campus, by aligning myself with relevant partnerships and resources. For me, working with people is a natural! I have experience working cooperatively and collaboratively across department to assess, analyze learning needs of individuals, develop educational training and professional training to achieve organizational goals and objectives. Specialist in creating cultural and intellectual tools and coordinating resources that reinforce learning and enhance individual employee’s growth and development. Excellent at levering resources and communicating/sharing programs as needed. Recognition of these attributes have earned me many distinguished students service awards such as the UCSD Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action & Diversity Award, SDSU’s Mortar Board Outstanding Faculty and Staff Award and SDSU’s Quest for the Best. I am a purposeful and intentional leader and seasoned qualitative researcher, who developed a new and innovative leadership theory and praxis, Conscious Leadership. Conscious Leadership is a shared process and embraces the understanding that everyone must become more accountable and responsible for student success and developing a rich educational environment. Page 136 Page 932 of 1137 City of Chula Vista - City Council January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda Student Equity and Success A commitment to student equity, equality and success are embedded within my leadership practice. Fundamental to my understanding of student success is knowing that it can only be accomplished through cooperative and collaborative engagements. Included in my portfolio of knowledge and practice as it relates to student development, is my extensive experience in mentoring, motivating and developing student into conscious leaders. In my role as the Retention Coordinator, I was responsible for orientating the students with institutional policies and procedures, while providing ongoing advisement in the areas of retention services, degree completion, and developing them as leaders. Moreover, I served as a Liaison/Advisor for two undergraduate Engineering student organizations, the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE) and the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE). At UCSD, I work closely in efforts to support the needs of the student chapter Society for Advancement of Hispanics/Chicanos and Native Americans in Science (SACNAS), where I advised students on the executive board, coordinated student attendance to regional and national conferences and monitored students’ academic performance, ensuring a balanced student life. Key to this, forming both on campus and off campus collaborations. As a professional student affairs staff member, assisting students in learning about processes of shared governance, committee work and decision making, was and is my norm. Creating an optimal environment for learning and support, armored with cultural tools for actualized success for all students, regardless of race, gender, age, disability, or economic circumstances. Professionally, committee work is a familiar responsibility. In my role as the Program Coordinator for the Miramar College Trio office, I sat on the International/Diversity committee and Student Services Student Learning Outcome committee. Along these same lines, at UCSD, as the Graduate Student Affairs & Diversity Officer, I guided and advocated for graduate students, regarding key shared governance issues, particularly, those concerning policies that impacted all graduate students, such as registration fee allocation and tuition affordability. In addition, I served as one of the advisors for the Graduate Page 137 Page 933 of 1137 City of Chula Vista - City Council January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda Student Association, and supervised two graduate student internships, whose position was designed to service as graduate student resource internships. Moreover, I assisted these internships in interpreting college campus policies and procedures, identify relevant resources and trained them on how to become effective advocates for the entire graduate student population. In other words, my role was to make sure that the students who held these positions received all relevant information and resources needed to best fulfill their respective duties and responsibilities. Often, my use of innovative and conscious conflict resolution techniques and practices were called upon to bring about consensus and guide the students on framing their message with constituents, concisely and clearly. In the end, I understand the importance of empowering the students, administrators, faculty and staff to move towards success. Student Services Activities My experience as it relates to planning, organizing and implementing student activities and support services are extensive. Over the years, I have demonstrated that I am a capable leader with a broad background in both traditional non-traditional student development, engagement, and creating strong supportive environments for effective teaching and learning. In my current role as Program Manager for UCSD’s Center for Investigations of Health and Education Disparities (CIHED) research unit, as well as in my former position as Director of Professional Development at SDSU’s College of Extended Studies, I have had the opportunity to develop and manage new and continuing initiatives that focused primarily on reducing educational disparities and improving support services for students. By developing communities of practice that are cooperative and collaborative, I have been able meet organizational goals and objectives. Lead student equity planning, assessment and evaluation efforts to increase success of all students and mitigate identified disparities using college-based research by gender and for current or former foster youth, students with disabilities, low-income students, veterans, and students in ethnic and racial categories. Using information technology to support the social and cultural life of a community is part of the tools I apply to ensure student success. Facebook and LinkedIn have been incorporated into our process of tracking our Page 138 Page 934 of 1137 City of Chula Vista - City Council January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda current and previous students and keeping them informed about our program activities. Currently, I am working on establishing and expanding STEM pipelines for local community college students to UCSD. In this pursuit, stakeholder’s relationships are being developed with several community colleges, industry and UCSD departments and STEM funded research programs. The goal is not only to transfer students and assist them in navigating towards degree completion, but to make sure that they are prepared to enter graduate education or the workforces. To date, CIHED has defined relationships with all of the local community college STEM populations and provides information about and access to transfer STEM populations. Program Development, Assessment and Review I have an extensive background with program development and review. In my current role, I redesigned the UCSD National Institute of Health (NIH) funded Initiative for Maximizing Student Development (IMSD) program. It is now more student-centered and incorporates a communal student engagement and learning aspect. Since taking over the management of the grant, we have increased the graduate school acceptance rate and now have less than 10% attrition rate. Part of my responsibility is to write the yearly progress reports to NIH. In doing so, I must be clear, concise and effective in how we are accomplishing the grant aims, goals and objectives. Currently, I am in the process and assisting with the re-writing of the grant for another five years. In my role as the Graduate Student Affairs & Diversity Officer in the Graduate Division, I also wrote the program progress report for our National Science Foundation (NSF) grant, Alliance for Graduate Education and the Professoriate (NSF-AGEP) and assisted with the writing of the renewal for the grant, which was subsequently awarded for four additional years. All incoming grant graduate student recipients have achieved PhD positions or are working in research laboratories, thus having a 100% achievement. My vast experience with both state funding, and federal grants provides me with valuable insight and experience with outside agencies cooperation and collaboration. In accomplishing the commitment to college excellent, I have had the opportunity to assist in developing Student Page 139 Page 935 of 1137 City of Chula Vista - City Council January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda Learning Outcomes (SLO’s) from the faculty and administration side. Working in dual roles, has assisted me in understanding the bigger picture of what it takes to not only retain and support a student, but educate them. As a student support service officers and faculty, I understand the importance of creating metrics that to ensure the institution, faculty, staff and administrators are actively attempting to reach the goal of student success. Facilitating and engage faculty, staff, and colleagues in collaborative processes by which to continually evaluate and improve programs and services is natural process for me. I have become effective and proficient in creating alignments with campus departments to educate, provide resources and meet organizational goals. Maintaining currency of knowledge of legal requirements and regulations as they pertain to student equity and other student equity-related categorical programs, basic supplemental instruction and support services. Data Management As a conscious leader, the use of data science is critical. Assisting with the development of database management to build predictive models of at-risk students has always been a part of my professional positions. I believe data is critical to making appropriate and conscious decisions and policies. Thus, understanding how to interpret “big data” is important. I am currently responsible for the development and management of our student database. Keeping all relevant student data in a central location for tracking purposes is important for understanding programmatic needs and reporting to funding agencies. In several of my roles, both at the community college and university level, I have had the opportunity and responsibilities in coordinating and managing data. Effective data can assist with driving decisions that are effective. I am very knowledgeable and experienced in the process of data collected, analysis and reporting. I can also design qualitative and qualitative surveys, facilitate focus groups and triangulate all data for meaning and understanding. My data software knowledge includes quantitative knowledge and experience with SPSS and FileMaker Pro. Qualitatively, I understand NVIVIO and AtlasTi. I am versed in the technique of conducting environmental scans, trend analysis and interpretation to make decisions and improve on specific initiatives. Finally, I always collaborate with on- Page 140 Page 936 of 1137 City of Chula Vista - City Council January 20, 2026 Post City Council Agenda campus research departments and evaluation agencies to assess progress and success rate. Budget and Personnel Development and monitoring of programmatic budget, which includes expenditure reporting, is common for me. I have prepared and managed federal expended budgets in excess of $100,000,000 in addition to various state funded grants of $300,000. I have experience specifically managing and evaluating student affairs personnel, conducting training and development opportunities as an ongoing professional development process. Beyond that, I have many years of supervisory experience with both students and permanent staff, which include but are not limited to preparing work assignments and schedules. Additionally, I have a working knowledge of various employee group contractual agreements. In me, you will get a strong conscious leader and visionary. I am student-centered and intentional in all that I do. My ability to evaluate and report on the effectiveness of people and, services, strategies and approaches has allowed me to develop my people analytics skills and adjust as appropriate Consistency is a standard value, along with demonstrating creativity, innovation to problem solve and using data to drive decisions and improve practices. Cooperation and collaboration are essential elements that I use to create quality partnerships and meet organizational goals. Over the years I have mastered effectiveness in planning, organizing, implementing, and coordinating creative, successful, well attended social, cultural and educational programs, activities and events under tight fiscal constraints. I believe in creating “communities of practice,” which are focused on student advancement and achievement. I would welcome the opportunity to further discuss my qualifications and learn more about the position. I am full of energy and enthusiasm and ready to go.

As Associate Director, I lead efforts to assist community colleges in identifying challenges to equity-centered institutional effectiveness and developing problem-solving strategies and solutions. I also conduct and disseminate empirical research on the experiences of underrepresented and underserved students in community colleges. The external contracts listed reflect the last 10 years of my engagement with this work, primarily with institutions and organizations seeking to better understand the experiences of disproportionately and racially minoritized student populations - namely, men of color. Since the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, the reduction of state-level funding to colleges and universities for equity work began to decline. As a result, our center has centered our grant efforts to private, non-profit funding agencies whose mission aligns with our goals of supporting community colleges in enhancing equity efforts.

SP 2024 Becoming an HSI: Module 2 – Designed a 2-hour Canvas course module on behalf of SDSU’s Hispanic Serving Institution Office. The module provides an introductory overview of research and scholarship pertaining to HSIs and how SDSU faculty/staff can work towards strengthening their service to Latina/o/x students. SEMILLAS Research Fellowship Program (SRFP): The SRFP is a 10-week summer research fellowship program designed to provide community college and transfer students with a general understanding of social science research and its application to the study of higher education. This includes an overview of (a) philosophical context of research; (b) basic concepts in research design, analyses, and interpretation; and (c) research methodologies and theoretical frameworks commonly used in the study of higher education. Fellows participate in weekly research training sessions, engage in critical dialogue with leading community college scholars, and connect one-on-one with a mentor/femtor. Fellows’ culminating project involves a campus and community research symposium hosted at the Center for Inclusive Excellence. The program’s design has been adapted over the years (e.g., length, modality) to adjust to student needs. For this program, I received the 2023 NASPA Latinx/o/a Knowledge Community Mena Valdez Award for Outstanding New Program. In 2025, I was approached by the University of North Texas about replicating my program for community college and transfer students beginning summer 2026. 2. Summer 2025 Program designed as a 10-week hybrid program for incoming SDSU transfer students. 3. Summer 2023 Program designed as a free, 10-week hybrid program for community college students to learn about social science research. 4.

My study investigates the effects of NT on Student Affairs (SA) professionals. 78 SA professionals were randomly assigned to one of two narrative groups (text or video). The results indicated that the video group participants showed more fantastic narrative transportation than those in the text group. Furthermore, SA professionals showed that familiarity with the student experience was more important than sharing an identity with the student in the story. My research also measured compassion toward students and self-compassion (SC). My study results provide evidence of the impact of a student story as a tool for SA professional development and well-being. Moreover, my study proposed how students’ narratives can enhance institutional data and the need for SA professionals to strengthen their digital identities via narrative. M.S.
