Following the Initial Maintenance Period Commencing in the first Fiscal Year following the Initial Maintenance Period, the Special Tax shall be levied up to the full amount necessary to fund the Special Tax Requirement and shall be apportioned to Parcels in accordance with Steps 1 through 3 below. Step 1: Determine the maximum revenue that could be generated by applying the Maximum Special Tax rates set forth in Table 1 (as such rates may be annually escalated pursuant to Section C) to all Parcels. Step 2: If the total revenue calculated in Step 1 is greater than the Special Tax Requirement for Improvement Area D, reduce the Special Tax for each Parcel proportionately so that the total Special Tax levy for the Fiscal Year is equal to the Special Tax Requirement. Step 3: In the event that the Special Tax Requirement for Improvement Area D includes amounts attributable to delinquent Special Taxes from the prior Fiscal Year, the City shall determine the amount of such delinquent Special Taxes and may identify the Parcels and owners associated with such delinquencies. To the extent permitted by law, the City may levy and collect such delinquent amounts from the applicable Parcels and/or owners. Any remaining portion of the Special Tax Requirement shall be allocated and levied in accordance with Steps 1 through 2 above. Notwithstanding the above, under no circumstances will the Special Tax levied against any Assessor’s Parcel be increased by more than ten percent (10%) annually up to the Maximum Special Tax as a consequence of delinquency or default by the owner of any other Assessor's Parcel within Area D of the CFD. E. Appeals Any landowner or resident who pays the Special Tax and believes that the amount of the Special Tax levied on their Assessor’s Parcel is in error shall first consult with the CFD Administrator regarding such errors. If following such consultation, the CFD Administrator determines that an error has occurred; the CFD Administrator may amend the amount of the Special Tax levied on such Assessor’s Parcel. If following such consultation and action, if any, by the CFD Administrator, the landowner or resident believes such error still exists; such person may file a written notice with the City Clerk of the City appealing the amount of the Special Tax levied on such Assessor’s Parcel. Upon receipt of any such notice, the City Clerk shall forward a copy of such notice to the City Manager who shall establish as part of the proceedings and administration of the CFD, a special three-member Review/Appeal Committee.

RATE AND METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT The Rate and Method of Apportionment of Special Tax (“RMA”) for CFD No. 97-2 IA D is attached hereto as Appendix A and is incorporated by reference into this report. The special tax will be levied and collected in the same manner and at the same time as ad valorem property taxes levied by the County of San Diego and will be subject to the same penalties and procedures in the case of delinquency. However, the special tax may also be collected in such other manner and at such other time as may be necessary to meet the financial obligations of CFD No. 97-2 IA D, as permitted by the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982 (the “Act”). All property within CFD No. 97-2 IA D, unless legally exempt or exempt pursuant to the RMA, shall be subject to the levy of the special tax to fund the authorized services, incidental expenses, and administrative costs of CFD No. 97-2 IA D. In accordance with Government Code Section 53325.3, the special tax is not a special assessment and need not be apportioned based on the benefit received by each parcel. Rather, the tax may be apportioned based on cost, service availability, or other reasonable criteria, provided it is not based on an ad valorem (value-based) methodology, in compliance with Article XIII A of the California Constitution. In developing the RMA, Harris & Associates relied on data and assumptions including, but not limited to, building square footage, net taxable acreage, proposed land use classifications, and service area square footage. These inputs were provided by the City of Chula Vista, participating developers, bond counsel, and other members of the formation team. Harris & Associates has not independently verified such data and disclaims responsibility for the impact of any inaccuracies on the resulting RMA or on CFD No. 97-2 IA D’s ability to meet its financial obligations.

D. Method of Apportionment of the Special Tax During the Initial Maintenance Period During the Initial Maintenance Period, the Special Tax shall be levied at a reduced level, as determined annually by the City, sufficient to fund a portion of the Special Tax Requirement and to establish and build the Long-Term Management Reserve Fund. The City shall determine the percentage of the Maximum Page 28 of 218 City of Chula Vista - City Council August 18, 2026 Post City Council Agenda 4 Special Tax to be levied during the Initial Maintenance Period based on anticipated future maintenance costs and required reserve levels, provided the Special Tax during the Initial Maintenance Period shall not exceed the Special Tax Requirement. The Special Tax shall be apportioned to Parcels in accordance with the methodology set forth in Steps 1 through 3 below, after applying such reduced levy. Following the Initial Maintenance Period Commencing in the first Fiscal Year following the Initial Maintenance Period, the Special Tax shall be levied up to the full amount necessary to fund the Special Tax Requirement and shall be apportioned to Parcels in accordance with Steps 1 through 3 below. Step 1: Determine the maximum revenue that could be generated by applying the Maximum Special Tax rates set forth in Table 1 (as such rates may be annually escalated pursuant to Section C) to all Parcels. Step 2: If the total revenue calculated in Step 1 is greater than the Special Tax Requirement for Improvement Area D, reduce the Special Tax for each Parcel proportionately so that the total Special Tax levy for the Fiscal Year is equal to the Special Tax Requirement. Step 3: In the event that the Special Tax Requirement for Improvement Area D includes amounts attributable to delinquent Special Taxes from the prior Fiscal Year, the City shall determine the amount of such delinquent Special Taxes and may identify the Parcels and owners associated with such delinquencies. To the extent permitted by law, the City may levy and collect such delinquent amounts from the applicable Parcels and/or owners. Any remaining portion of the Special Tax Requirement shall be allocated and levied in accordance with Steps 1 through 2 above. Notwithstanding the above, under no circumstances will the Special Tax levied against any Assessor’s Parcel be increased by more than ten percent (10%) annually up to the Maximum Special Tax as a consequence of delinquency or default by the owner of any other Assessor's Parcel within Area D of the CFD. E. Appeals Any landowner or resident who pays the Special Tax and believes that the amount of the Special Tax levied on their Assessor’s Parcel is in error shall first consult with the CFD Administrator regarding such errors. If following such consultation, the CFD Administrator determines that an error has occurred; the CFD Administrator may amend the amount of the Special Tax levied on such Assessor’s Parcel. If following such consultation and action, if any, by the CFD Administrator, the landowner or resident believes such error still exists; such person may file a written notice with the City Clerk of the City appealing the amount of the Special Tax levied on such Assessor’s Parcel. Upon receipt of any such notice, the City Clerk shall forward a copy of such notice to the City Manager who shall establish as part of the proceedings and administration of the CFD, a special three-member Review/Appeal Committee. The Review/Appeal Committee may establish such procedures, as it deems necessary to undertake review of any such appeal. The Review/Appeal Committee shall interpret this Rate and Method of Apportionment and make determinations relative to the annual administration of the Special Tax and any landowner or resident appeals, as herein specified. The decision of the Review/Appeal Committee shall be final and binding to all persons. F. Manner of Collection Special Taxes levied pursuant to Section D above shall be collected in the same manner and at the same time as ordinary ad valorem property taxes; provided, however, that the CFD Administrator may directly bill the Special Tax, may collect Special Taxes at a different time or in a different manner if necessary to meet the financial obligations of Area D of the CFD or as otherwise determined appropriate by the CFD Administrator.

Recommended Action Adopt a resolution approving a Legal Services Agreement with Gatzke Dillon & Ballance LLP for on-call legal services to assist the City Attorney’s Office to advise the Development Services Department for a not-to- exceed amount of $1,050,000. SUMMARY The Development Services Department processes a large volume and variety of permits for private development projects and administers a broad range of land use matters that require legal review and/or consultation throughout the permitting process, including support of the Planning Commission. This amendment will allow the City Attorney’s Office to utilize outside legal services from Gatzke Dillon & Ballance, LLP in support of private development project permitting, land use matters, and Planning Commission to support the Development Services Department. As part of their legal services, Gatzke Dillon & Ballance LLP reviews project documents scheduled for Planning Commission, provides legal advice on land use matters, and attends Planning Commission meetings on behalf of the City Attorney’s Office. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The Director of Development Services has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with CEQA and has determined that the activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the CEQA Guidelines because Page 34 of 218 City of Chula Vista - City Council August 18, 2026 Post City Council Agenda P a g e | 2 it will not result in a physical change in the environment; therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Thus, no environmental review is required. BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION Not applicable DISCUSSION The City of Chula Vista (“City”) has an important business need for on-call legal services to assist the City Attorney’s Office in advising the Development Services Department regarding land use and development related matters. The Development Services Department provides permitting services for a variety of projects, from individual homeowners to large subdivision developments, and administers the City’s land use and development regulations for private development projects throughout the City. Many of these projects and related land use matters may require the need for legal review at any point in the permitting process, including projects that require Planning Commission and City Council approvals. On behalf of the City Attorney’s Office, Gatzke Dillon & Ballance LLP has reviewed many development projects requiring Planning Commission approval; supported staff at a Zoning Administrator Public Hearing; supported staff at City Council for projects; provided legal advice on land use matters; and supported staff on an appeal of the Zoning Administrator’s decision. To date, the City Attorney’s Office and the Development Services Department has found Gatzke Dillon & Ballance LLP very responsive to all requested legal service needs. Prompt legal review of development projects and other land use matters allows the Development Services Department to continue to provide customers with the quality services they expect from the City. Additionally, the prompt responsiveness of legal services reduces delays in the development of housing units within the City. For the reasons detailed above, the City Attorney has determined that Gatzke Dillon & Ballance LLP possesses the unique qualifications needed to represent the City effectively and a competitive solicitation would be impractical. Staff therefore recommends that the City Council waive the competitive bidding requirement, pursuant to Chula Vista Municipal Code sections 2.56.110(F) and 2.56.110(H)(2). Approval of the proposed resolution will authorize a legal services agreement with Gatzke Dillon & Ballance LLP for on-call land use and development related legal services. This Second Amendment to the Agreement provides for an increase to the not-to-exceed amount from $350,000 to $1,050,000 and extends the term of the agreement from December 1, 2026, to December 1, 2027. It is anticipated that most of the costs for work performed under the agreement will be reimbursed by developer deposit account funds. 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. Page 35 of 218 City of Chula Vista - City Council August 18, 2026 Post City Council Agenda P a g e | 3 CURRENT-YEAR FISCAL IMPACT There are no anticipated fiscal impacts to the General Fund or Development Services Department Fund as a result of this action. All costs associated with these services will be covered by developer deposit account funds provided by the project applicants. ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT There are no ongoing fiscal impacts to the General Fund or Development Services Fund as a result of this action. All costs associated with these services will be covered by developer deposit account funds provided by the project applicants. Ongoing costs will be borne by the project applicants and will not exceed the value of $1,050,000. ATTACHMENTS 1. Legal Services Agreement, dated December 1, 2024 2.

Therefore, pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3), no environmental review is required. Recommended Action Adopt a resolution accepting the Performing and Visual Arts Grant Review Panel’s award recommendations for 2026 with a total monetary grant award totaling $30,000. SUMMARY The Performing and Visual Arts Grant (“PVAG”) Program is funded through a sublease agreement with Live Nation, Inc. whereby a portion of annual ticket sales from the amphitheater located at 2050 Entertainment Circle, Chula Vista, CA 91911 (“Amphitheater”)_are allocated to Chula Vista cultural arts. The PVAG funds projects in a variety of artistic fields, including dance, design arts, media arts, music, photography, theatre, traditional/folk arts, visual arts, and interdisciplinary expressions with the purpose of creating a robust and sustainable cultural arts scene in Chula Vista (“City”)_. This year’s PVAG Review Panel has recommended grant funding in the amount of $30,000. 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 52 of 218 City of Chula Vista - City Council August 18, 2026 Post City Council Agenda P a g e | 2 BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION The Cultural Arts Commission accepted these recommendations at its July 2026 meeting. DISCUSSION Funded through a portion of ticket sales from the amphitheater, the PVAG has granted upwards of $1 million since its inception and is a primary City funding source of cultural arts in the City. It is the objective of the PVAG Program to support projects that nurture and cultivate innovation and creativity, strengthen the City’s competitive edge, and create a better quality of life for all residents. Projects funded through the PVAG must have a community benefit and be accessible to the public. The PVAG Review Panel has recommended funding for 5 of the 31 grant requests received for a total PVAG grant recommendation of $30,000 dollars (Attachment 1). 2026 Grant Review Panel Members:  Kate Bishop – Cultural Arts Commissioner  Maria Echevarria - Cultural Arts Commissioner  Erwin Magbanua - Principal Librarian and Cultural Arts Manager, City of Chula Vista  Thelma Rufolo – Cultural Arts Commissioner  Felix Sablan – Cultural Arts Commissioner  Natalie Vega – Librarian III, City of Chula Vista DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and has determined that it is not site-specific and consequently, the real property holdings of the City Council members do not create a disqualifying real property-related financial conflict of interest under the Political Reform Act (Cal. Gov't Code § 87100, et seq.). 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.

Recommended Action Adopt a resolution approving a lease agreement between the City of Chula Vista and Southern Regional Resource Center, Inc. for space at the Norman Park Senior Center located at 270 F Street. SUMMARY This item approves a 12-month lease agreement with Southern Regional Resource Center, Inc. to provide caregiver support services for families caring for aging adults and adults living with Alzheimer’s disease and related disorders. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The proposed activity 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 (Existing Facilities), which consists of the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of existing or former use and where the exceptions listed in State CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 would not apply in that no cumulative impacts were identified, no significant effects on the environment were identified, the project is not adjacent to a scenic highway, no historical resources would be affected by the action, and the project was not identified on a list of hazardous waste sites pursuant to Section 65962.5 of the Government Code. Thus, no further environmental review is required. Page 56 of 218 City of Chula Vista - City Council August 18, 2026 Post City Council Agenda P a g e | 2 BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION Not applicable. DISCUSSION Southern Regional Resource Center, Inc. dba Southern Caregivers Resource Center (“SCRC”) is a non-profit company that provides free caregiver support services for families caring for seniors and adults living with Alzheimer’s disease and adults with chronic and disabling conditions or diseases which is a public benefit to the City and the region SCRC is funded by grants from the California State Department of Aging, County of San Diego Health and Human Services Agency, Aging and Independence Services, Behavioral Health Services, private foundations, and donations from individuals and corporations. With the passing of Proposition 1, SCRC’s contract with San Diego County Behavioral Health Services terminated the Caregiver Support Services contract, effective June 30, 2026. As a result, SCRC’s funds to lease office space at Norman Park Senior Center were terminated. Because SCRC provides a public benefit, the City will provide up to six (6) months of rent deferral during the initial term of the lease to allow SCRC time to secure replacement funding. The initial lease agreement is for one (1) year with four (4), one (1) year renewal periods. The monthly rent for the initial term is $842.00. The rent will increase by 3% annually for each renewal period. Upon receipt of funding, SCRC will pay any deferred rent and rent for the remaining term of the initial lease term. If funding is not obtained prior to the expiration of the six (6) month deferral period, City and SCRC will meet to discuss an extension of the deferral period. SCRC has occupied space at the Norman Park Senior Center located at 270 F Street for approximately 20 years and has invested approximately $12,000 over that period for permanently affixed improvements to the space which include flooring, painting and baseboards. DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council members and has found no property holdings within 1,000 feet of the boundaries of the property which is the subject of this action. Consequently, this item does not present a disqualifying real property-related financial conflict of interest under California Code of Regulations Title 2, section 18702.2(a)(7) or (8), for purposes of the Political Reform Act (Cal. Gov’t Code §87100, et seq.). Staff is not independently aware, and has not been informed by any City Council member, of any other fact that may constitute a basis for a decision-maker conflict of interest in this matter. CURRENT-YEAR FISCAL IMPACT Approval of this item will authorize a one (1) year lease agreement with four (4), one (1) year renewal options. The positive fiscal impact for the current year is rental income of $842.00 per month, totaling $10,104.00 for the initial term.

Therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines section 15060(c)(3), no environmental review is required. Recommended Action Adopt a resolution accepting grant funds in the amount of $439,974.82 from the California Highway Patrol to be used for the Cannabis Tax Fund Grant Program and appropriating funds for that purpose. (4/5 Vote Required) SUMMARY The City of Chula Vista on behalf of the Chula Vista Police Department has been awarded $439,974.82 in grant funding from the California Highway Patrol for the Cannabis Tax Fund Grant Program (“Program”). The intent of this Program is to educate the public regarding the dangers of impaired driving; enforce impaire d driving laws on the roadway; and improve the Police Department’s effectiveness through training and development of new strategies. 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 the proposed activity consists of a governmental fiscal/administrative activity which does not result in a physical change in the environment. Therefore, pursuant to section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Page 75 of 218 City of Chula Vista - City Council August 18, 2026 Post City Council Agenda P a g e | 2 BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION Not applicable. DISCUSSION The Cannabis Tax Fund Grant Program (“Program”) is administered by the California Highway Patrol (“CHP”) and provides State funding to allied agencies for the education, prevention, and enforcement of laws related to driving under the influence of alcohol and other drugs, including cannabis. The Police Department has been awarded $439,974.82 (“Funding”) for the fiscal year 2026-27 program, covering a grant period from July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The Funding will also be used to enhance training for officers. Following the 2016 passage of Proposition 64, the Adult Use of Marijuana Act, the Police Department has seen a continual increase in driving under the influence (“DUI”) and drug-related arrests and collisions. As of January 1, 2018, Proposition 64 legalized the recreational use and possession of marijuana for adults aged 21 and older. This change, along with the rising prevalence of other impairing substances in the community, underscores the need to expand officer training in impaired driving enforcement. To address this, the Police Department is seeking to increase the number of officers certified in Standardized Field Sobriety Testing (“SFST”), Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement (“ARIDE”), and the Drug Recognition Expert (“DRE”) program. Expanding these skill sets will enhance the Police Department’s ability to detect and respond to impaired driving, while also supporting community education and awareness efforts. The SFST is a set of standardized tests used by officers to determine whether a driver is impaired by alcohol or other substances. These tests assess specific physical and cognitive responses, or reflexes, that may be diminished by intoxication. ARIDE bridges the gap between SFST and the Drug Evaluation and Classification programs (“DEC/DRE”). The ARIDE course trains officers to observe, identify, and articulate signs of impairment due to drugs, alcohol, or both. By enhancing officers’ recognition of impaired driving, ARIDE helps reduce impaired driving incidents and serious crashes. A DRE is a specially trained law enforcement officer who can identify drivers impaired by substances other than, or in addition to, alcohol. DREs complete all phases of training under the DEC Program, as established by the International Association of Chiefs of Police (“IACP”) and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (“NHTSA”). The Police Department is currently the only DRE certification site in San Diego County. Two officers are certified DRE instructors, and three officers are certified SFST instructors. The Police Department will host the following training courses, which will be taught or attended by Police Department personnel on an overtime basis. These classes will be open to law enforcement agencies throughout San Diego County and the State of California:  2 SFST courses (Instructors- 1 Sergeant, 1 Agent, 1 Officer) Goal: 30 officers from the Police Department trained over the two courses  2 ARIDE courses (Instructors - 1 Sergeant, 1 Agent, 1 Officer) Goal: 10 Police Department officers trained over the two courses Page 76 of 218 City of Chula Vista - City Council August 18, 2026 Post City Council Agenda P a g e | 3  1 DRE course (Instructors - 1 Sergeant, 1 Agent) Goal: 2 Police Department officers trained  16 DRE Field Certification - to correlate with the DRE school in San Diego during 3rd quarter of grant  DRE recertification course - Goal: 2 Police Department officers recertified Grant funds will also be used to support DUI checkpoints and DUI saturation patrols. Saturation patrols involve deploying officers to targeted roadways during designated times to identify and apprehend impaired drivers. Unlike checkpoints, saturation patrols do not involve stopping every vehicle and do not use roadblocks. Additionally, grant funds will allow DRE-certified officers to attend the IACP Impaired Driving and Traffic Safety (“IDTS”) Conference in Anaheim on August 21-23, 2026. The IDTS Conference offers a platform for sharing proven strategies to improve road safety, the latest science in impaired driving enforcement, and best practices for community engagement. The Police Department will utilize the Funding as outlined in the table below. DESCRIPTION AMOUNT Subtotal Personnel Costs $426,432.00 Subtotal Supplies & Services Costs $13,542.82 TOTAL FUNDING $439,974.82 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 Councilmembers do not create a disqualifying real property-related financial conflict of interest under the Political Reform Act.

CURRENT-YEAR FISCAL IMPACT Approval of this resolution accepts $439,974.82 in grant funds from the California Highway Patrol and amends the fiscal year 2026-27 budget by appropriating $426,432.00 to the Personnel category and $13,542.82 to the Supplies and Services category in the Police Grants section of the State Grants Fund. Funding from the California Highway Patrol will completely offset the total costs of this Cannabis Tax Fund Grant Program, resulting in no net fiscal impact to the General Fund.

Therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3) no environmental review is required. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the activity qualifies for an Exemption pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the California Environmental Quality Act State Guidelines. Recommended Action Adopt a resolution approving the City’s 2026-2031 Strategic Plan. SUMMARY This item returns to the City Council for consideration and adoption of the City’s 2026 –2031 Strategic Plan following completion of the Special City Council Workshop held on May 14, 2026. During the workshop, the City Council reviewed the Draft Strategic Plan and provided feedback on the proposed Mission, Vision, Values, Strategic Goals, implementation framework, and key organizational priorities. The Strategic Plan reflects City Council direction provided during the January 9, 2025 Strategic Planning Workshop, input gathered through a comprehensive community engagement process conducted in partnership with the Center for Organizational Effectiveness (COE), and feedback received during City Council discussions on April 14, 2026, and May 12, 2026. The proposed Strategic Plan establishes a five-year organizational framework intended to guide City priorities, service delivery, budget alignment, departmental work planning, and performance reporting through 2031. Page 81 of 218 City of Chula Vista - City Council August 18, 2026 Post City Council Agenda P a g e | 2 ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The proposed activity has been reviewed for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and it has been determined that the activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines because it will not result in a physical change in the environment. Therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it has also been determined that the activity qualifies for an Exemption pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the California Environmental Quality Act State Guidelines. Thus, no environmental review is required. COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT The City engaged the Center for Organizational Effectiveness (COE) to facilitate a comprehensive community engagement process to support development of the City’s 2026–2031 Strategic Plan. Community engagement efforts included individual City Council interviews, district-based community workshops, a business roundtable, and a citywide community survey conducted through Community Voices. The engagement process was intended to gather broad community input regarding priorities, service needs, organizational challenges, and long-term outcomes to help inform development of the Strategic Plan framework and proposed initiatives. Community workshops and outreach efforts focused on identifying community priorities related to infrastructure, economic vitality, public safety, governance, sustainability, quality of life, and community well-being. Input was received from residents, businesses, community organizations, and other stakeholders throughout the process. The Community Voices survey was conducted citywide to gather additional feedback regarding community priorities, service delivery, and future City direction. Survey feedback and engagement results were incorporated into development of the proposed Mission, Vision, Values, Strategic Goals, strategic focus areas, and major initiatives reflected in the Strategic Plan. Community feedback received through these engagement efforts was considered throughout development and refinement of the Strategic Plan and is reflected in the proposed Strategic Plan presented for City Council adoption. BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION Not applicable. DISCUSSION The Draft Strategic Plan was initially presented to the City Council on April 14, 2026, for discussion and preliminary feedback. On May 12, 2026, the City Council conducted a Special Workshop to continue review of the draft plan and provide additional direction regarding the Strategic Goals, initiatives, implementation framework, and organizational priorities. Based on feedback received during the April 14 City Council meeting and the May 12 Special Workshop, staff refined and finalized the proposed Strategic Plan framework for adoption. Page 82 of 218 City of Chula Vista - City Council August 18, 2026 Post City Council Agenda P a g e | 3 The proposed 2026–2031 Strategic Plan establishes four Strategic Goals: 1. Community Infrastructure 2. Quality of Life & Safety 3. Growth & Economic Vitality 4. Good Governance The Strategic Plan also establishes the City’s updated Mission, Vision, and Values and includes implementation tools intended to support accountability, transparency, and organizational alignment. The plan is intended to guide future departmental work plans, annual budget development, capital planning efforts, and organizational performance reporting. Following adoption, staff will begin implementation efforts by aligning departmental work plans and operational priorities with the Strategic Plan, incorporating Strategic Plan priorities into future budget development processes, and implementing the defined key performance indicators (KPIs) and reporting framework to track organizational performance and progress toward Strategic Plan goals. DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and has determined that it is not site-specific and consequently, the real property holdings of the City Council members do not create a disqualifying real property-related financial conflict of interest under the Political Reform Act (Cal. Gov't Code § 87100, et seq.). Staff is not independently aware, and has not been informed by any City Council member, of any other fact that may constitute a basis for a decision-maker conflict of interest in this matter. CURRENT-YEAR FISCAL IMPACT There is no direct current year fiscal impact associated with adoption of the Strategic Plan. Existing staff and departmental resources will be utilized to initiate implementation activities, including alignment of work plans, performance reporting, and organizational priorities. Any specific projects, programs, or resource requests identified through implementation of the Strategic Plan will be evaluated through future budget processes and brought forward separately for City Council consideration, as appropriate. ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT While adoption of the Strategic Plan does not create a defined ongoing fiscal obligation at this time, implementation of future Strategic Plan initiatives, capital improvements, operational enhancements, or staffing needs may require future funding and resource allocation. Any future fiscal impacts associated with implementation efforts will be evaluated through future budget development processes and presented to the City Council separately for consideration, as appropriate.

Recommended Action Adopt a resolution, A) approving a second amendment with Garland DBS, Inc. to increase the maximum not- to-exceed contract amount from $6,000,000 to $7,000,000 over the term of the agreement, B) amending the fiscal year 2026-27 Capital Improvement Program Budgets and appropriating funds for roof replacement of the Police Department headquarters. (4/5 Vote Required). SUMMARY The Police Department Headquarters, located at 315 Fourth Avenue, is more than 20 years old. The facility’s roof has reached the end of its useful service life and requires full replacement to maintain the building’s integrity and ensure continued operational reliability. The Public Works Department recommends proceeding with replacement of the Police Department Headquarters roof. Adoption of the proposed resolution would authorize the City to move forward with the project and reallocate available funding among Capital Improvement Program (CIP) projects within the Measure P Fund for fiscal year 2026-27 to fund the work. Adding this project to the City’s other planned roof repair and replacement projects would cause total expenditures to exceed the current maximum not-to-exceed amount under the City’s agreement with Garland DBS, Inc. Accordingly, staff recommends approval of a second amendment to the Page 131 of 218 City of Chula Vista - City Council August 18, 2026 Post City Council Agenda P a g e | 2 agreement, increasing the maximum not-to-exceed contract amount from $6,000,000 to $7,000,000. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The proposed activity 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 (Existing Facilities), which consists of the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of existing or former use and where the exceptions listed in State CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 would not apply in that no cumulative impacts were identified, no significant effects on the environment were identified, the project is not adjacent to a scenic highway, no historical resources would be affected by the action, and the project was not identified on a list of hazardous waste sites pursuant to Section 65962.5 of the Government Code. Thus, no further environmental review is required. BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION The regularly scheduled Measure P Citizens’ Oversight Committee (COC) meeting for July was cancelled due to lack of quorum. The proposed reallocation among CIP Projects within the Measure P Fund to fund the roof replacement will be presented at the next scheduled COC meeting. DISCUSSION Police Department Headquarters’ Roof The Police Department is committed to providing community-focused policing that enhances the quality of life in Chula Vista and helps ensure the safety of its residents. The Police Department Headquarters, located at 315 Fourth Avenue, is more than 20 years old and requires significant facility repairs. Most notably, the building’s roof has reached the end of its useful service life and requires replacement. This work is particularly important following the recent completion of the building’s HVAC replacement project, as a new roof will help protect that substantial investment and preserve the overall integrity of the facility. On July 7, 2026, the City received a service proposal from Garland DBS, Inc. in the amount of $2,224,850. The proposed scope of work includes removal of the existing roofing system down to the insulation; repair and infill of damaged roof decking; installation of new base sheeting, coverboard, base sheet, and roofing membrane; replacement of curb and wall base flashings and roof penetration coverings; improvements to duct seams and roof drains; and installation of new sheet metal roofing components. Including project contingencies, the total estimated cost of the roof replacement project is approximately $2,676,000. Garland Contract On June 17, 2024, the City entered into a cooperative agreement with Garland DBS, Inc. (“Garland”) for citywide roof replacement, repair, and maintenance services. The initial term of the agreement extended through June 17, 2026, with a maximum not-to-exceed amount of $2,000,000. Page 132 of 218 City of Chula Vista - City Council August 18, 2026 Post City Council Agenda P a g e | 3 On October 30, 2024, the agreement was amended to increase the not-to-exceed amount to $6,000,000 and extend the term through June 30, 2029. Based on the volume and cost of roof maintenance, repair, and replacement projects completed and planned citywide, including the proposed Police Department Headquarters roof replacement project, expenditures under the agreement are expected to exceed the current $6,000,000 limit. Accordingly, staff recommend a second amendment to increase the agreement’s not-to-exceed amount to $7,000,000. This increase will provide sufficient contract capacity to complete the Police Department Headquarters roof replacement project and address additional roof maintenance and repair needs anticipated during fiscal year 2026-27. Garland competitively bids individual projects to qualified local subcontractors, helping the City obtain competitive pricing while maintaining an efficient procurement process. Continuing to utilize Garland under the existing cooperative agreement is also expected to provide cost savings and administrative efficiencies over the remaining term of the agreement. For the Police Department Headquarters Roof Replacement Project, Garland received the following bids: Police Department Roof: Garland/DBS Bid Based Price Contractor Bid Price The Police Facility Repair Project (GGV0232) currently has an available balance of approximately $1,106,264, primarily resulting from cost savings associated with the Police Department HVAC Replacement Project (GGV0261), which is nearing completion. To fully fund the proposed Police Department Headquarters roof replacement, staff recommends transferring an additional $1,570,000 in Measure P funds to the Police Facility Repair Project (GGV0232). With this transfer, the project will have sufficient funding to cover the total anticipated cost of the roof replacement. DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council members and has found no property holdings within 1,000 feet of the boundaries of the property which is the subject of this action. Consequently, this item does not present a disqualifying real property-related financial conflict of interest under California Code of Regulations Title 2, section 18702.2(a)(7) or (8), for the purposes of the Political Reform Act (Cal. Gov’t Code §87100, et seq.). Staff is not independently aware, and has not been informed by Council members, 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 following: Page 133 of 218 City of Chula Vista - City Council August 18, 2026 Post City Council Agenda P a g e | 4  Amends the fiscal year 2026-27 Capital Improvement Projects Program Budget by transferring $1,570,000 in the Measure P Fund from the Police Department HVAC Replacement Project (GGV0261) to the Police Facility Repair Project (GGV0232) in the Police Facility Repairs category within the Measure P Spending Plan.  Approves the second amendment to the contract with Garland DBS, Inc. to increase the maximum not-to-exceed amount from $6,000,000 to $7,000,000. The above adjustments do not have a current year fiscal impact, as funds for the Police Department headquarters’ roof replacement are available in Measure P Fund, Police Facility Repairs category, within the Measure P Spending Plan. ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT Ongoing costs of the project will primarily consist of routine maintenance and periodic minor repairs necessary to preserve the roof’s condition and extend its useful life.

Therefore, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3), no environmental review is required. Recommended Action Adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter an agreement with the City of Imperial Beach to provide unsheltered housing services for unhoused residents of Imperial Beach at the Chula Vista Village at Otay and administrative oversight of Tenant Based Rental Assistance (TBRA).

Therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Page 148 of 218 City of Chula Vista - City Council August 18, 2026 Post City Council Agenda P a g e | 2 BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION The Housing and Homeless Advisory Commission will be advised of the agreement at their next meeting. DISCUSSION The City of Imperial Beach has identified a need to expand housing resources for residents experiencing homelessness. According to the 2026 WeAllCount Point-in-Time Count, 25 individuals were identified as experiencing unsheltered homelessness in Imperial Beach, a 47 percent increase from their 2025 count. Since opening in May 2023, the Chula Vista Village at Otay has provided temporary bridge shelter and supportive services to 210 individuals experiencing homelessness. From July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026, the shelter enrolled 124 new participants and achieved 39 successful exits to permanent or temporary housing. The proposed agreement establishes a partnership between the City of Chula Vista (“City”) and the City of Imperial Beach to provide bridge shelter and housing assistance to eligible Imperial Beach residents. Under the agreement, Imperial Beach residents will have access to available beds at the Chula Vista Village at Otay, where they will receive temporary shelter, meals, comprehensive case management, housing navigation, benefits assistance, employment referrals, behavioral health referrals, and connections to permanent housing resources and supportive services to promote long-term stability. Admissions will be based on shelter availability and participant eligibility as determined by the Chula Vista Homeless Outreach Team. In addition to bridge shelter services, the City will administer TBRA on behalf of the City of Imperial Beach based on their funding availability and need. The TBRA program provides a temporary (12 – 24 months) rental subsidy to eligible individuals and families experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness, allowing participants to obtain and maintain permanent housing. As the administering agency, the City of Chula Vista will be responsible for determining participant eligibility, completing income certificatio ns, conducting housing quality inspections, executing landlord agreements, processing rental assistance payments, and ensuring compliance with applicable regulations. Efforts will be made to provide rental subsidies to housing within the City of Imperial Beach The agreement establishes an initial term of two (2) years, with an option to extend upon mutual written agreement by both cities. The City of Imperial Beach will reimburse the City for the costs associated with shelter services, TBRA administration, and rental assistance as outlined. The number of shelter placements and TBRA vouchers made available will be based on Imperial Beach's available funding and program needs. DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council members and has found no property holdings within 1,000 feet of the boundaries of the property which is the subject of this action. Consequently, this item does not present a disqualifying real property-related financial conflict of interest under California Code of Regulations Title 2, section 18702.0(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. Page 149 of 218 City of Chula Vista - City Council August 18, 2026 Post City Council Agenda P a g e | 3 CURRENT-YEAR FISCAL IMPACT There is no current-year fiscal impact associated with this action. The costs associated with providing these services are included in the fiscal year 2026-27 budget and will be reimbursed by the City of Imperial Beach in accordance with the terms. The total reimbursable expense amount will be based on the City of Imperial Beach's available funding and program needs. ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT There is no ongoing fiscal impact associated with this action. The ongoing costs associated with providing these services will be incorporated as part of the annual budget development process in future fiscal years and will be reimbursed by the City of Imperial Beach in accordance with the terms. The total reimbursable expense amount will be based on the City of Imperial Beach's available funding and program needs. ATTACHMENTS 1.

PURPOSE & INTRODUCTION The purpose of this Management Operations and Public Safety Plan (the “Plan”) is to provide best practices for the Chula Vista homeless emergency bridge shelter (hereinafter, “Chula Vista Village at Otay,” or the “Shelter”). The Plan may also be used to promote open communication between community stakeholders and to help facilitate a better understanding of the Chula Vista Village at Otay. Establishing a year-round Chula Vista Village at Otay will meet critical needs amongst some of the most vulnerable people on our streets and in our neighborhoods, while also addressing a pressing social issue that is deeply impacting local businesses and community members. The Plan identifies Shelter services for homeless persons and best practices to maintain a safe and healthy environment for Shelter clients and the community at large. The overall purpose of the Shelter is to connect homeless persons to permanent housing opportunities and resources to maintain housing stability and self- sufficiency. Goals and guidelines of the Plan align to national standards of The HEARTH Act (2009).

SHELTER ADMINISTRATION – PROGRAM DESCRIPTION Population Served Chula Vista Village at Otay and Services The Shelter will serve up to 65 clients at any given time while providing access to a range of programs and supportive services. To ensure that the Shelter will meet the needs of the community in serving chronic and vulnerable homeless people, clients will be admitted with minimal requirements so that chronic and vulnerable homeless people can easily enter and remain in the Shelter if they are actively engaging and participation in a permanent housing plan. Those accessing the Shelter will include homeless single men, single women, and couples. All clients must be at least 18 years of age. Each client will be screened for sex offender, arsonist, and active felony warrant status before admission (screening will take place prior to arrival at the Shelter, as part of the bed reservation system), as detailed in the “Admission Criteria and Procedures” section of this document. Chula Vista Village at Otay Provision of Services All clients will have access to, and will be encouraged to, participate in services provided through the Shelter Operator and the City of Chula Vista. The City’s contracted professional “Shelter Operator”, " will provide case management services on sight and will be responsible for coordination of on-site partner agencies. Case Managers will be responsible for coordinating additional outside appointments necessary for their assigned Shelter clients to achieve goals established in their housing plan. Program Description The Chula Vista Village at Otay is designed to provide safe shelter, basic needs, and access to support to move individuals out of homelessness and into permanent housing opportunities. Access to Chula Vista Village at Otay The Chula Vista Village at Otay will accommodate indoor, overnight sleeping for up-to 65 individuals per evening. Operations at the Chula Vista Village at Otay will be provided 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days per year.

Page 166 of 218 City of Chula Vista - City Council August 18, 2026 Post City Council Agenda CHULA VISTA VILLAGE AT OTAY (August 2023) BRIDGE SHELTER MANAGEMENT, OPERATIONS AND PROCEDURES PAGE 7 OF 47 The Shelter Operator will provide on-site staff to track daily bed inventory and communicate daily bed vacancies to City of Chula Vista Department of Housing and Homeless Services (HHS) staff . Bed reservations will give preference to those designated by the Chula Vista Homeless Outreach team (“HOT”), inclusive of the HHS. Only HHS and HOT can refer individuals to open beds at the Chula Vista Village at Otay. Shelter Operator staff will keep a comprehensive log detailing bed reservations as well as other relevant information. City of Chula Vista Police Department Homeless Outreach Team and Department of Housing and Homeless Services (hereinafter “HOT” and “HHS”) staff will be responsible for the initial call-in information, while the Shelter Operator staff will note actions which occurred after the original reservation is made. It will be imperative for the Shelter Operator to keep a comprehensive tracking sheet which will note the following information: • Date • Time • Client name called in • Reservation (y/n) • Declined (y/n) • Arrival of client (y/n) • Pallet Assignment Length of Stay Consistent with national best practices and trends, the goal for length of stay should be 30 days or less; however, there is no set maximum length of stay if they are actively participating in program requirements. When a client has been a guest of the Shelter for more than 90 days, they will be reviewed for an additional stay period every 30 days, ensuring each client is supporting their progress toward housing stabilization. If a client exceeds these 30 days, intensified housing location and exit plan strategies will be implemented. The program is designed to provide this support until a housing option becomes available. However, at any time a client may be exited from the Shelter for safety or continual Shelter violations as outlined in the “Exit and Readmission Policies.” Additionally, the Shelter Operator will maintain a report to account for clients with lengths of stay exceeding 30 days and reasons why. Pallet Homes The Shelter will consist of 65 pallet homes. Each client will be assigned a bed, bedding, and two storage containers for the length of their stay. Flexible sleeping space may also be provided for transgender populations inclusive of males, females, and couples (over the age of 18). Meals Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks will be provided for all clients daily, in a central dining area.

ADA restrooms and showers are also provided on-site. Laundry Clients will have access to utilize the laundry facilities that will be located on-site within the community. Transportation No walk-up clients will receive Shelter access. Returning clients will be able to return to the Shelter daily by their own transportation or transportation provided by the Shelter Operator. All clients will be required to check in and out with Shelter staff or security. Security The Shelter Operator will follow policies and procedures that promote utmost safety for clients, staff, volunteers, and the community. The Shelter Operator will also strive to provide an atmosphere that promotes community, stays alert for signs of conflict, and confronts harmful behaviors before they escalate. The security plan will include a multi-faceted approach involving screening for sex offenders, registered arsonists, and felons with open warrants by the Chula Vista Police Department; secured entrances; security searches upon entrance; confiscation of harmful contraband; trained security personnel providing around-the-clock indoor and outdoor coverage; security alarms, cameras and lighting. Other program elements that will support security efforts include no walk-ups and no loitering policies. Storage All clients will be provided two storage bin containers for their personal belongings. These containers will be stored with the client in the pallet home under the bed. Clients will not be allowed to store other bags, shopping carts, or suitcases in the pallet home that will not fit in the provided storage containers. A limited number of outdoor storage bins will be available to clients through a reservation process. Additionally, a refrigerated storage area will be available to clients with medication needs, with the assistance of Shelter staff. Case Management Services Upon entering the Shelter, each client will be assigned to a case manager. The primary function of the case manager is to work side-by-side with the client to create a pathway toward permanent housing opportunities, with the ultimate goal of ending their homelessness. Additionally, the case manager is to provide resources and support to the client during their stay, including encouragement to access any and all services provided at the Shelter. The case manager will ensure that all clients are entered into the Coordinated Entry System, as the first line of housing engagement.

Page 170 of 218 City of Chula Vista - City Council August 18, 2026 Post City Council Agenda CHULA VISTA VILLAGE AT OTAY (August 2023) BRIDGE SHELTER MANAGEMENT, OPERATIONS AND PROCEDURES PAGE 11 OF 47 Target Goals/Expected Outcomes The target goals and expected outcomes for the Shelter adhere to guidelines and expectations set forth by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s HEARTH ACT. The Shelter should not be regarded as a singular program(s) but is intended to provide support to the entire Continuum of Care (CoC), to help move the system towards higher a level of system performance, a reduction in the number of persons who experience home lessness in our community, and an increase in access to housing opportunities for chronically homeless individuals utilizing shelter services. The Chula Vista Village at Otay will offer preferences to homeless residents who have been identified by HHS and HOT as having long-term ties to the community. Indicators for measuring effective system performance should include the following key considerations: a. Reduction in Clients Experiencing Homelessness for the First Time: Are fewer people experiencing homelessness for the first time? Are only persons who have no safe, appropriate housing option being admitted to Shelter? b. Overall Reduction in Number of Persons Who Experience Homelessness : Are overall rates of homelessness declining? Is street homelessness declining? Is chronic homelessness declining? c. Reduction in the Length of Time Persons Experience Homelessness : Do people stay homeless for shorter periods of time? A reasonably short length of time homeless indicates system and program success in rapidly re-housing persons who are homeless. It can also indicate efficiency related to turnover of beds, which is essential to meet system demand for the Chula Vista Village at Otay. d. Successful Resolution of Housing/Homeless Crisis: Do people resolve their housing/homeless crisis successfully by maintaining/obtaining permanent housing? Are people successfully connected to community-based support? e. Reduction in Recidivism (subsequent return to homelessness): Are repeat occurrences of homelessness avoided or declining Program Layout ▪ Pallet Homes with separation between unsheltered male, female and couples ▪ Medical/First Aid Area ▪ Dining/Commons area ▪ Security office Page 171 of 218 City of Chula Vista - City Council August 18, 2026 Post City Council Agenda CHULA VISTA VILLAGE AT OTAY (August 2023) BRIDGE SHELTER MANAGEMENT, OPERATIONS AND PROCEDURES PAGE 12 OF 47 ▪ Case management office ▪ Administrative office ▪ Intake and Entry Area ▪ Shower, Restroom and Laundry Areas ▪ Outdoor Recreational and Facilities Areas ▪ Outdoor Pet Kennel Area Admission Criteria and Procedures Client Rules and Guidelines A prospective client must be able to perform all aspects of their care meeting their activities of daily living, follow all Chula Vista Village at Otay rules, and maintain appropriate behavior with consideration for all other staff, volunteers, security, and clients of the Shelter. All clients must review and sign a copy of the "Chula Vista Village User Agreement" document prior to entry. Intake staff and case managers will assist any and all clients who may have difficulty understanding or reviewing the rules. Medical exceptions can only be made by the City of Chula Vista Homeless Outreach Team, Shelter Operator Executive Leadership, or their designee. Identification Requirements A form of official identification is required, such as a Shelter-issued ID card, to verify identity; however, a client will not be denied access to Shelter Services without one, so long as their reservation is verified by Shelter Operator staff and the HHS. Case managers will assist clients in obtaining a California ID, providing each client with a no-cost ID voucher. Additionally, all Chula Vista Village at Otay clients will receive a Shelter-specific identification card upon entering the Shelter that will be used for readmission during the duration of their stay. Shelter ID components include a photograph, name, and other identifying information. Screening Requirements No person validated on the sex offender registry (Megan’s Law) will be allowed to access the Chula Vista Village at Otay (screening will take place prior to the arrival at the facility as part of the bed reservation system). Additionally, no felons with open warrants will be allowed to access the Chula Vista Village at Otay property or individuals identified as a registered arsonist. This screening process will be vetted through the City of Chula Vista Police Department prior to entry to the Shelter. Bed Reservation System To minimize neighborhood impact, all clients seekin g to access the Chula Vista Village at Otay and services will do so through the City of Chula Vista who will utilize the designated Intake and Bed Reservation System. A client interested in shelter will need to be vetted by HHS or HOT staff. Clients will be screened for diversion and/or homeless prevention services. If they have an alternate, habitable location where they may stay, they will be diverted from occupying a Shelter bed until their resources have been exhausted. Page 172 of 218 City of Chula Vista - City Council August 18, 2026 Post City Council Agenda CHULA VISTA VILLAGE AT OTAY (August 2023) BRIDGE SHELTER MANAGEMENT, OPERATIONS AND PROCEDURES PAGE 13 OF 47 Clients meeting eligibility requirements will be assigned a pallet home and given instructions on entering and departing time and requirements by Shelter Operator intake staff. The Shelter Operator is required to manage and update daily, a designated system for capturing bed inventory, reservations, and vacancies. Shelter Operator staff is also charged with recording excused versus unexcused absences and recording client exits after 2 consecutive unexcused absences in 30 days. By 9 am each morning, a new spreadsheet should be prepared by Shelter Operator staff noting current beds available, current list of excused versus unexcused absences, and an exit tracking log , to be reviewed daily by the Shelter Manager. New Clients Entering the Chula Vista Village at Otay New clients will be screened using the phone intake system. Beds will be assigned based on availability and eligibility results. Shelter Operator intake staff will check the bed log before assigning the new bed to ensure that an appropriate one exists. As instructed, new clients should arrive at the Shelter escorted by HOT members. When the client is referred, a time will be scheduled for the referring party and client to arrive at the Shelter for intake to be completed. Those who miss their scheduled intake time will need to contact the referring party to confirm that the bed is still available and arrange for a new initial entry time. The referring party will then reach out to Shelter Operator intake staff to see if the beds remain reserved. Upon arrival, clients are required to go through a security screening process and work with an Intake Coordinator to be informed of rules and regulations of the Chula Vista Village at Otay, complete necessary intake paperwork, and obtain a Shelter ID card. Day Leave and Returning Clients Clients who leave the program during the day may leave as early as 6:00 am. Clients who have employment or appointments that will require them to leave earlier than 6:00 am will need to speak with their Case Manager or the Shelter Manager for approval. Clients will be able to walk out of the Shelter as of 6:00 am and will be asked to make their own arrangements for transportation. Clients will be able to leave and return to the Shelter throughout the day and will be required to check in with security at exit and re-entry. Clients will be allowed to walk out of the Shelter and will need to arrange for their own transportation. All clients will need to return to the Shelter no later than 8:00 pm. Clients arriving later than 8pm for special circumstances such as employment or discharge from the hospital, must communicate with their case manager their anticipated arrival time. No client will be allowed into the Shelter after 8pm, unless their reason is found to be valid and approved by their case manager and/or the Shelter Manager. Failure to communicate this could result in forfeiture of their bed reservation and subject to “Readmission Policy” protocols.

These hours of operation will be in effect seven days per week, every week regardless of holidays or weather. 6:30 AM - 8:30 AM Breakfast served 6:00 AM Clients can exit the Shelter 6:00 AM Common areas open 6:00 AM - 9:00 PM Pet kennel area open 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM Computer/technology lab open (by appt only) 11:30 AM - 1:00 PM Lunch served 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM Snack served 5:30 PM - 7:00 PM Dinner served 9:00 PM - 6:00 AM Lights out in sleeping area Overflow Management Coordinated Service Delivery Plan It is anticipated that in the early stages of operation for the Chula Vista Village at Otay needs and demands will outweigh the capacity of the 65 bed Chula Vista Village at Otay, necessitating a Coordinated Service Delivery Plan, including coordination of the following diversion and redirection strategies: a. Homeless Diversion HHS and HOT staff will screen for Homeless Diversion prior to entry. The Shelter Operator will again review with the client potential Homeless Diversion services at intake to ensure that those with alternative resources will not be accessing the homeless system. If other alternative resources are available for a client, HOT, HHS, and/or Shelter Operator staff will endeavor to either provide the client with access to those resources, or partner with an agency that can offer successful diversion assistance. b. Coordination with Bridge Housing The Shelter Operator Case Managers will work with service providers with current bridge housing and/or other housing vacancies. This form of housing will be utilized by returning clients who have Page 174 of 218 City of Chula Vista - City Council August 18, 2026 Post City Council Agenda CHULA VISTA VILLAGE AT OTAY (August 2023) BRIDGE SHELTER MANAGEMENT, OPERATIONS AND PROCEDURES PAGE 15 OF 47 been matched with a housing opportunity and will soon move into permanent housing. This strategy will increase the Chula Vista Village at Otay bed turnover rate as clients are successfully matched to alternate housing opportunities. c. Coordination with Other Shelter Providers Case Managers will partner with other emergency shelter program providers to redirect overflow to any additional shelter beds that may be available in the County. Case Managers will re -direct clients to shelter providers based on the client’s community of origin. Overflow Policies The Bed Reservation System is designed to prevent and minimize overflow and capacity issues for the Chula Vista Village at Otay. A daily bed utilization count will ensure that the 65 bed capacity will be fulfilled each evening, as the need for beds persists. In the event of a community-wide natural disaster or in extreme weather situations deemed so by state, county, or city authority, the Shelter will maintain a “no walk-up” policy. However, the following option could be utilized by the Operator: • Utilize alternative locations and county resources for additional beds that may accommodate homeless without a bed reservation during inclement weather or disaster. Exit and Re-Admission Exit and Readmission Policies Clients will be considered to have exited the program when they voluntarily leave or are exited from the Shelter for safety or continual Shelter violations, or find alternate housing. When a client exits of their own volition or is exited for Shelter violations, the client may be considered for readmission eligibility after the time designated by staff for 30 days, with approved exceptions made by the Shelter Manager and/or HHS staff for medical/mental health, or extenuating circumstances. Length of exit for safety violations will depend on the severity of the infraction. Shelter Operator should be balanced in their approach to program exits and readmission policies, as it pertains to rule violations and infractions. Such policies should include considerations to maintain a safe and effective facility; safety for clients, volunteers, staff, and the surrounding neighborhood; as well as demonstrate compassion toward homeless individuals who face increasingly vulnerable situations if forced to exit from a shelter situation to places not suitable for human habitation. No client shall be exited without review by the Shelter Manager or City designee. Page 175 of 218 City of Chula Vista - City Council August 18, 2026 Post City Council Agenda CHULA VISTA VILLAGE AT OTAY (August 2023) BRIDGE SHELTER MANAGEMENT, OPERATIONS AND PROCEDURES PAGE 16 OF 47 Additionally, Shelter staff will keep logs of “excused” versus “unexcused” absences to avoid unnecessary exits. Only the Shelter Manager and their designees can approve excused absences. These excused absences will be promptly reported to Shelter staff so that they are notated in appropriate logs. Infractions will be subdivided in a multi-tiered system (Tier 1 and Tier 2) based on the perceived impact of the infraction. Consequences for each tier level should be fitting and just for the level of the infraction and its perceived impact on the wellbeing of stakeholders. Examples as follows: Tier 1: Basic Program Guideline Infractions: • Conduct that is intimidating to staff or other clients, or disruptive to Shelter operations Tier 2: Major Infractions: • Illegal drug use or possession • Sexual Misconduct • Criminal activity • Violent attacks, fights, possession of weapons, etc. For disobedience of rules in Tier 1, there will be increasing enforcement actions including verbal warnings and write-ups. After a compounded number of infractions (3) in this tier level, a client may be asked to leave, and staff will determine and give them the designated timeline for which they can be readmitted. For disobedience of rules in Tier 2, the Shelter Operator maintains a zero-tolerance policy towards criminal activity including, but not limited to: violence & sexual misconduct, as well as drugs and medications used or possessed beyond the scope permitted in the “Health Policies.” These behaviors, when substant iated, are punishable by immediate expulsion upon first offense and a minimum of 30 days expulsion prior to readmission. The consequences may also be subject to intervention by law enforcement, and if necessary, prosecution up to the limit of the law. Exit Procedures When a client is asked to exit due to disobedience of rules, violence, or criminal activity, security will escort the person off the property to be transported to a self-directed location, out of the surrounding area. Case Manager Services Policy Upon entering the Shelter, each client will be assigned to a Case Manager. The primary function of the Case Manager is to work side-by-side with the client to create a pathway toward permanent housing opportunities, with the goal of ending their homelessness.

Accountability and Grievance Process and Policies All Shelter clients have the right to have their concerns and grievances heard by leadership of the Shelter Operator. Shelter clients who have concerns or grievances regarding any interaction with Shelter Operator, its staff, or other representatives, clients should follow the steps listed below until your concern is resolved or the second appeal has been completed. IMPORTANT: If at any time a client feels unsafe or uncomfortable following a step in this procedure, the client may skip it and move on to the next step. Additionally, a client may contact any Shelter Operator, HHS, or HOT representative with whom the client feels comfortable speaking, even if that person is not listed in this procedure. And finally, if a client believes that anyone at Shelter Operator has engaged in illegal behavior, please contact the police to report your concerns. Illegal behavior includes but isn’t limited to abuse, assault, blackmail, bribery, coercion, and harassment. Procedure As much as possible, when reporting an incident, clients should provide the details of what happened, including who was involved and the date(s) and time(s). If the client has a Case Manager and the client’s concern is not with that Case Manager, the client should tell the Case Manager. If the client has a Case Manager and the concern is with that Case Manager, the client should call or email Shelter Operator’s Program Director: grievances.pd@citynet.org or (714) 712-0107, providing the client’s name and contact information. Most concerns can be resolved through discussion with the appropriate staff person because they can generally address the problem easily. If not, however, an investigation may be necessary. The Shelter Operator will typically investigate concerns that can’t be immediately resolved. The amount of time that an investigation takes can vary from one day to several weeks. Updates on the investigation will be provided as appropriate, with a goal of the first update to the client being made within 5 business days of the client bringing the complaint to the Shelter Operator. Once the investigation is complete, the Shelter Operator will decide how to respond, and will notify the client of the decision. In doing so, the Shelter Operator will act to protect people’s confidentiality and, as a result, may not provide all of the details. However, it will share with the client the details relevant to the client’s case and/or the client’s standing with the Shelter. If the decision is acceptable to the client, the client should inform the Shelter Operator. If it’s not, the client should follow the below procedure.

Client(s) should provide their name, full description of the report, and contact information. The Executive Director will need to conduct an investigation, which could take as little as a day or as long as several weeks. Someone on the Leadership Team will provide an update to the client no later than 5 business days from the time the appeal was received. When the Executive Director has finished the investigation, the client will be notified of a decision. To protect confidentiality, details may be limited to those relevant to the client’s case and/or standing with the organization. Should the appealed decision of the Executive Director be unacceptable to the client, they may continue following this procedure. Second Appeal Appeal the decision to the City of Chula Vista. If Shelter Operator’s Executive Director’s decision regarding the appeal was unacceptable or did not resolve the client’s concern, a written letter may be submitted to the City of Chula Vista Housing and Homeless Services Department or by email if preferred 276 Fourth Avenue, Chula Vista, CA 91910 or homelessness@chulavistaca.gov.

Notifying Third Parties of Your Concerns Note that—always and at any time—clients have the right to discuss concerns regarding Shelter Operator with the California Office of the Attorney General (https://oag.ca.gov/charities/complaints). Confidentiality and Retaliation Client Identity and the details of client concerns will be kept as confidential as much as possible while conducting investigations and acting on concerns. However, the goal is to learn exactly what happened, and sometimes we will say who made a complaint and/or the details of the complaint in order to conduct a thorough investigation. No matter what Shelter Operator determines, clients have the right not to be retaliated against for bringing forward concerns. That means that no staff member can punish a client for identifying a concern. For example, clients will not be refused services, reduced your services, or behave unprofessionally toward client as Page 183 of 218 City of Chula Vista - City Council August 18, 2026 Post City Council Agenda CHULA VISTA VILLAGE AT OTAY (August 2023) BRIDGE SHELTER MANAGEMENT, OPERATIONS AND PROCEDURES PAGE 24 OF 47 punishment for identifying a concern.
