Therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3), no environmental review is required. Recommended Action Adopt a resolution approving the first amendment to the legal services agreement with Colantuono, Highsmith & Whatley, PC to increase the not-to-exceed amount by $50,000 and extend the term of the agreement by one year. SUMMARY The City Attorney’s Office provides legal review, advice, consultation, and representation on a wide variety of legal issues related to City operations. The City executed a Legal Services Agreement (“LSA”) with Colantuono, Highsmith & Whatley, PC (the “Firm”) to provide legal services for any and all tasks and services reasonably required to advise, assist, and fully and competently represent the City in all legal matters presented to Firm and on any matters in litigation, where Firm is consulted by, or appears on behalf of, the City. Firm’s services include but are not limited to any and all reasonably required legal representation on behalf of the City in regard to on-call legal services. The City seeks to increase the not-to-exceed amount in the LSA by $50,000 for the provision of on-call legal services and extend the term of the LSA by one year. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The proposed activity has been reviewed for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and it has determined that the activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the State Page 21 of 344 City of Chula Vista - City Council October 27, 2026, Post City Council Agenda P a g e | 2 CEQA Guidelines because the proposed activity consists of a governmental fiscal/administrative activity which does not result in a physical change in the environment. Therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, the activity is not subject to CEQA. BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION Not applicable. DISCUSSION The City Attorney’s Office provides legal review, advice, consultation, and representation on a wide variety of legal issues related to City operations. The City retained the Firm to provide legal services for any and all tasks and services reasonably required to advise, assist, and fully and competently represent the City in all legal matters presented to Firm and on any matters in litigation, where Firm is consulted by, or appears on behalf of, the City. Firm’s services include but are not limited to any and all reasonably required legal representation on behalf of the City in regard to on-call legal services. The City executed the LSA with Firm on January 9, 2023 with a not-to-exceed amount of $40,000. The initial term was for one year with five one-year options. The City exercised the first three options, so the LSA is currently set to expire on January 9, 2027. The City seeks to increase the not-to-exceed amount by $50,000 for the provision of on-call legal services and to exercise the fourth one-year option on the LSA so that it remains in effect until January 8, 2028. 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 budgetary impact as a result of this action. The additional cost is already included in the fiscal year 2026-27 budget of the City Attorney’s Office. ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT There is no ongoing fiscal impact resulting from this action. Any increases to this agreement will be considered as part of the annual budget development process in future years. ATTACHMENTS 1.

DISCUSSION The mission of the California Office of Traffic Safety (“OTS”) is to administer traffic safety grant funds to support programs aimed at reducing traffic deaths and injuries. The Chula Vista Police Department (“Police Department”) has been awarded several OTS grants in prior years, including the Serious Traffic Offenders Program (“STOP”), Comprehensive Traffic Safety Program, DUI Enforcement Program, and Selective Traffic Enforcement Program. These grants have strengthened the Traffic Unit by funding positions, enforcement operations, and equipment. The Police Department has been awarded $590,000 in grant funds (“Grant Funds”) from OTS to support the Selective Traffic Enforcement Program (“Program”). The grant period runs from October 1, 2026, through September 30, 2027. During this period, enforcement operations under the Program will be conducted on an overtime basis. Program-funded operations will include DUI and driver license checkpoints and DUI saturation patrols, aimed at reducing deaths and injuries from alcohol-involved collisions. Distracted driving enforcement will focus on drivers using hand-held cell phones and texting. Additional operations will address motorcycle safety, as well as bicycle and pedestrian safety. In addition to enforcement, the Program will fund traffic safety educational presentations. These presentations will cover distracted driving, DUI, speeding, bicycle a nd pedestrian safety, seatbelt use, and child passenger safety, with the goal of increasing awareness and improving community safety. Grant Funds will also support training and the purchase of supplies and equipment needed for traffic operations. 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. (Gov. 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 Adoption of this resolution will authorize the acceptance of $590,000 in grant funds from the California Office of Traffic Safety and amend the fiscal year 2026-27 budget by appropriating $569,730 to the Personnel category and $20,270 to the Supplies and Services category in the Police Grants section of the Federal Grants Fund.

PROBLEM STATEMENT Describe the city, county, or jurisdiction this grant will impact. As of 2025, the City of Chula Vista is the second-largest city in San Diego County with an estimated population over 280,000 that boasts more than 52 square miles of coastal landscape, canyons, rolling hills, mountains, quality parks, and miles of trails. The City of Chula Vista is located at the center of one of the richest cultural, economic and environmentally diverse zones in the United States. Chula Vista Chula Vista is a leader in conservation and renewable energy, has outstanding public schools, and of the top safest cities in the country. The Chula Vista Police Department (CVPD) believes increasing public awareness, community relations through education, public enforcement, and advanced officer training are some of the best tools available in reducing tragedies caused by driving-related offenses. Funding from this grant will help educate and improve the quality of life for citizens of the City of Chula Vista, daily commuters that are employed or attend educational institution and thousands of military personnel at local bases and military ships in the surrounding areas. Describe the problem(s) to be addressed, supported by current and relevant crash data. (most recent calendar year data/stats). First, we aim to increase the number of officers trained in the Standardized Field Sobriety Tests (SFST), Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement (ARIDE) and Drug Recognition Expert (DRE) program. The additional training will further increase the agencies abilities to detect, enforce and most importantly and improve our DRE program. DUI drug related offenses are an increasing problem in our community. Fentanyl, methamphetamine, pharmaceutical drugs are on the rise and the lack of knowledge in this area is apparent. With the passing of Proposition 64, the Chula Vista Police Department has seen the number of crashes involving drug impaired drivers increase. In 2024-2025, 132 individuals sustained injuries due to a driver being under the influence of drugs or a combination of drugs/alcohol. Additionally, there were DUI arrests throughout the City of Chula Vista. With the steady population growth, access to illicit drugs and legalized marijuana sales, the number of DUI/drug arrests and crashes will continue to steadily increase. DRE officers are in high demand, and we need more advanced trained personnel to get the impaired drivers off the roadway. CVPD is looking to be a leader in the Drug Recognition Program in San Diego County. As of January 2026, CVPD has approximately 272 sworn officers and currently hiring to fill all available vacancies. We will host SFST, ARIDE and DRE courses at the Chul with other San County Law Enforcement Agencies. Traveling at an unsafe speed on the roadways throughout the City of Chula Vista continues to be the #1 Primary Crash Factor for fatal or injury crashes. In 2025, there were 6 fatalities and 321 individuals injured where unsafe speed was the primary crash factor. This was a slight increase from 2024 where there were 2 fatalities and 307 individuals injured from speed related crashes. Traffic Enforcement Operations are primarily focused on speed enforcement to combat the problem of unsafe speed and to reduce crashes. In May of 2013, the Chula Vista Police Department witnessed firsthand the tragedy that occurs from Distracted Driving. While on duty, a Chula Vista Police Department Motorcycle Officer was involved in a crash that occurred due to a teenage driver sending text messages on her cell phone while driving. Due to the injuries sustained from the crash, the Officer was forced to medically retire. The Chula Vista Police Traffic Division has taken a firm stance on Distracted Driving. The Chula Vista Police Department completed six distracted driver operations during the 2024-2025 grant year. During the six operations, 494 traffic stops were conducted with 442 drivers cited for using their cell phone in some manner while operating a vehicle. It is apparent drivers are ignoring the cell phone laws and putting others at risk by using their cell phone while driving. Driving while distracted plays a major role with poor driving habits in Chula Vista. A steady problem in the past within the City of Chula Vista are crashes involving pedestrians. In 2025, the Chula Vista Police Department investigated 5 Page 35 of 344 City of Chula Vista - City Council October 27, 2026, Post City Council Agenda 9/18/2026 10:39:51 AM Page 5 of 23 2024, when the Traffic Unit investigated 4 fatal pedestrian involved traffic crashes. With the passing of the Freedom to Walk Act that took effect in January 2023, the Chula Vista Police Department has seen a slight increase in crashes involving pedestrians. increase. In 2025, the Chula Vista Police Department investigated 5 fatal motorcycle crashes where the motorcyclists were at fault for the crash. This was a slight increase from 2024, where CVPD investigated 4 fatal motorcycle crashes. For the fourth year in a row, the City of Chula Vista did not have any fatal crashes involving bicyclists. The Chula Vista Police Department has participated in San Diego County collaborative DUI operations since 2020 and plans to continue to participate. The City of Chula Vista will invite all police departments with collaborative funds to participate during our DUI/DL Checkpoint throughout the year as well as DUI Saturation Patrols. Officers will be sent to the DUI/DL Checkpoints and DUI Saturation Patrols that occur outside of the City of Chula Vista and hosted by other San Diego County Law Enforcement agencies. Define the target population the grant intends to serve and how they are affected by the problem(s). The Chula Vista Police Department will prioritize its traffic safety efforts towards any person or community that has been marginalized and burdened by poverty and inequality. Our responsibility is to meet and safety. The Chula Vista Police Department continues to develop strong community partnerships as a foundation of our success. Community Oriented Policing is at the forefront of our organization. Our organization hears community concerns about traffic safety issues in our city and our leadership team ensures that officers address these issues through enforcement, engineering, and education. During our contact with the public, we treat people with respect and dignity, to continue to solidify the trust the community has placed on us. The Chula Vista Police Department has been fortunate to have the support of OTS throughout the years. In our efforts of traffic safety and equity, we address traffic deaths/crashes by proactive enforcement in problem areas. The proactive enforcement is focused on safety-related violations and conducted in areas with known hazardous driving behaviors. The information is gathered through agency data collection as well as from community member concerns. The Chula Vista Police Department embraces The Office of Traffic Safety role in transportation safety to promote equity and to emphasize its traffic safety efforts towards any person or community that has been marginalized and burdened by inequality and poverty. During grant activities the Chula Vista Police Department will continue to address equity in our community by prioritizing traffic enforcement and education, by continuing to focus our enforcement on safety related violations. During our enforcement we will continue to monitor the problems in our community in relation to traffic crashes by utilizing our current statistics and community concerns. Our goal as an organization is to reduce total crash rates and save lives. To achieve these goals, we will enforce traffic laws in areas known and through enforcement, education, and engineering. 2.

Therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3) no environmental review is required. Recommended Action Adopt a resolution accepting $75,000 in grant funds from the California Office of Traffic Safety for the Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Program, approving the grant agreement between the City of Chula Vista and the California Office of Traffic Safety, and appropriating $75,000 to the Police Grants Section of the Federal Grants Fund. (4/5 Vote Required) SUMMARY The California Office of Traffic Safety has awarded the Chula Vista Police Department $75,000 in grant funds to support the 2026-2027 Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Program. The goal of the program is to reduce fatalities and injuries in crashes involving pedestrians and cyclists. 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 55 of 344 City of Chula Vista - City Council October 27, 2026, Post City Council Agenda P a g e | 2 BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION Not applicable. DISCUSSION The mission of the California Office of Traffic Safety (“OTS”) is to administer traffic safety grant funds to support programs aimed at reducing traffic deaths and injuries. The Chula Vista Police Department (“Police Department”) has been awarded several OTS grants in prior years, including the Serious Traffic Offenders Program (“STOP”), Comprehensive Traffic Safety Program, DUI Enforcement Program, and Selective Traffic Enforcement Program (“STEP”). These grants have strengthened the Traffic Unit by funding new positions, enforcement operations, and equipment. The Police Department has been awarded $75,000 in grant funds (“Grant Funds”) from OTS to support the Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Program (“Program”). The grant period runs from October 1, 2026, through September 30, 2027. The City will contract with Circulate Planning & Policy (“Circulate”) to implement Program activities on behalf of the Police Department. Circulate is a nonprofit organization with extensive experience in traffic safety education, pedestrian and bicycle planning, and community engagement. The organization regularly partners with local governments, school districts, and other entities to deliver programs such as Safe Routes to School, pedestrian safety training, community workshops, and transportation planning projects. It has a demonstrated record of implementing traffic safety initiatives across the San Diego region. Circulate will provide services including traffic safety education, community outreach, organized bicycle rides and walks, and the distribution of traffic safety materials at community events. These activities will be conducted in multiple languages to engage diverse community members and advance the Program goals. The City will enter into a $70,000 agreement with Circulate for a one-year term beginning October 1, 2026, and ending September 30, 2027, consistent with the OTS grant period. The agreement will be fully funded by Grant Funds. The remaining $5,000 in Grant Funds will cover indirect administrative costs. 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. (Gov. 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 56 of 344 City of Chula Vista - City Council October 27, 2026, Post City Council Agenda P a g e | 3 CURRENT-YEAR FISCAL IMPACT Adoption of this resolution will authorize the acceptance of $75,000 in grant funds from the California Office of Traffic Safety and amend the fiscal year 2026-27 budget by appropriating $70,000 to the Supplies and Services category and $5,000 to the Other Expenses category in the Police Grants section of the Federal Grants Fund. The table below outlines the spending plan for the Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Program. DESCRIPTION FY 2026-27 TOTAL $ 75,000 Funding from the California Office of Traffic Safety will completely offset these costs, resulting in no net fiscal impact to the General Fund in the current year. ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT There is no ongoing fiscal impact as a result of this action. ATTACHMENTS 1.

PROBLEM STATEMENT Describe the city, county, or jurisdiction this grant will impact. As of 2025, the City of Chula Vista is the second-largest city in San Diego County with a population over 280,000 that boasts more than 52 square miles of coastal landscape, canyons, rolling hills, mountains, quality parks, and miles of trails. Chula Vista is a leader in conservation and renewable energy, has outstanding public schools, and has been named one of the top safest cities in the country. The City of Chula Vista has over 50 elementary schools, 7 middle schools, 14 high schools and 3 San Diego trolley stations. There are also numerous senior living centers throughout the City of Chula Vista. The morning and afternoon commute includes numerous people walking and riding a bicycle to school or work. Describe the problem(s) to be addressed, supported by current and relevant crash data. (most recent calendar year data/stats). A steady problem in the past within the City of Chula Vista are crashes involving pedestrians. In 2025, the Chula Vista Police Department investigated 7 fatal pedestrian traffic crashes. This was a slight increase from 2024, when the Traffic Unit investigated 4 fatal pedestrian involved traffic crashes. The fatal pedestrian crashes are not specific to an exact area of Chula Vista but have occurred throughout the 24-hour day. The City of Chula Vista has not had a fatal crash involving a bicyclist since 2019. In 2025, the City of Chula Vista had 7 crashes involving a pedestrian fatality and 94 crashes where a pedestrian was injured. The City of Chula Vista had one pedestrian fatality involving an 8-year-old and 1 over the age of 65. The seven fatal crashes occurred in different sectors of the City of Chula Vista. From 10/1/24 9/30/25, 60 injury crashes were reported to TIMS (Transportation Injury Mapping System). 8 pedestrians sustained an injury that was considered severe. 26 pedestrians had a visible injury and 26 had a complaint of pain. 29 crashes occurred during the daylight hours, while 22 occurred while it was dark and street lights were illuminated. The age group 15-19 years old had the most crashes of 7 with 3 being male pedestrians. In 2025, the City of Chula Vista did not have a crash involving a bicyclist fatality. 40 bicyclists were injured in traffic crashes. 8 of the 45 (18%) injured bicyclists were under the age of 15 years old. From 10/1/23 9/30/24, 42 bicyclist injury crashes were reported to TIMS (Transportation Injury Mapping System). 4 bicyclists sustained an injury that was considered severe. 23 bicyclists had a visible injury and 14 had a complaint of pain. 12 of the 42 crashes were broadside crashes. The age group 30-34 years old had the most crashes of 6 with all 5 being male bicyclists. With the passing of the Freedom to Walk Act that took effect in January 2023, the Chula Vista Police Department has seen a slight increase in crashes involving pedestrians. We expect the number of pedestrian involved crashes to steadily increase. The Chula Vista Police Department believes increasing public awareness and community relations through education are some of the best tools available in reducing tragedies related to bicyclist and pedestrian related crashes. Define the target population the grant intends to serve and how they are affected by the problem(s). The Chula Vista Police Department continues to address traffic safety efforts by its leadership team and all public safety. The Chula Vista Police Department continues to develop strong community partnerships as a foundation of our success. Community Oriented Policing is at the forefront of our organization. Our organization hears community concerns about traffic safety issues in our city and our leadership team ensures that officers address these issues through enforcement, engineering, and education. During our contact with the public, we treat people with respect and dignity, to continue to solidify the trust the community has placed on us. The Chula Vista Police Department has been fortunate to have the support of Page 63 of 344 City of Chula Vista - City Council October 27, 2026, Post City Council Agenda 9/21/2026 7:58:13 AM Page 5 of 20 OTS throughout the years. In our efforts of traffic safety we address traffic deaths/crashes by proactive enforcement in problem areas. The proactive enforcement is focused on safety-related violations and conducted in areas with known hazardous driving behaviors.

During our enforcement we will continue to monitor the problems in our community in relation to traffic crashes by utilizing our current statistics and community concerns. Our goal as an organization is to reduce total crash rates and save lives. To achieve these goals, we will enforce traffic laws in areas known and through enforcement, education, and engineering, The Chula Vista Police Department will prioritize its traffic safety efforts towards any person or community that has been marginalized and burdened by poverty and inequality. 2.

Therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3) no environmental review is required. Recommended Action Adopt the following resolutions: A. Approving an agreement with Desert Auto Group V, LLC to purchase Ford Police Interceptor Utility vehicles B. Approving an agreement with City Chevrolet of San Diego to purchase Chevrolet Police Blazer vehicles SUMMARY On August 28, 2026, City of Chula Vista (“City”) issued Request for Bid (“RFB”) No. B13-2027 to solicit competitive bids for purchase of police patrol vehicles for Chula Vista Police Department (“Police Department”) use. Based on the results of the competitive bid process staff recommends approval of agreements with Desert Auto Group V, LLC (“Desert Auto”) and City Chevrolet of San Diego dba Sedano Chevrolet (“Sedano”) for the purchase of police vehicles. 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 Page 80 of 344 City of Chula Vista - City Council October 27, 2026, Post City Council Agenda P a g e | 2 activity which does not result in a physical change in the environment. Therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, the activity is not subject to CEQA. BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION On May 14, 2026, the Measure P Citizens’ Oversight Committee recommended City Council approval of funding police vehicles, as outlined in the City Infrastructure, Facilities and Equipment expenditure plan for Measure P. DISCUSSION In 2024, the Police Department expanded the range of patrol vehicle models it would consider for purchase to include Ford Interceptors and Chevrolet Blazers in response to ongoing vehicle production delays and extended delivery timelines. To replace its aging fleet, the Police Department has coordinated with the City Finance Department to solicit competitive bids for patrol vehicles. On August 28, 2026, the City issued RFB No. B13-2027 to solicit bids for 2027 Ford Police Interceptor Utility (K8A) all-wheel-drive vehicles (“Ford Vehicles”) and 2027 Chevrolet Police Blazer EVPPV vehicles (“Chevrolet Vehicles”) for the Police Department. During the bid process, the following responsive bids were received. Ford Bids Bid Amount Chevrolet Bids Bid Amount Based on the outcomes of the competitive bid process, staff recommends approval of separate one-year, requirements-based purchase agreements with Desert Auto for the Ford vehicles and Sedano for the Chevrolet vehicles, at fixed unit prices. The City intends to initially purchase nine (9) Ford Vehicles and four (4) Chevrolet Vehicles from Sedano. The City may also elect to purchase additional vehicles under these agreements throughout the one-year Agreement term, subject to the maximum aggregate compensation established in each City Council-approved Agreement (Desert Auto not-to-exceed $700,000 and Sedano not-to-exceed $350,000). DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and has determined that it is not site-specific and consequently, the real property holdings of the City Councilmembers do not create a disqualifying real property-related financial conflict of interest under the Political Reform Act. (Gov. Code, § 87100 et seq.) Page 81 of 344 City of Chula Vista - City Council October 27, 2026, Post City Council Agenda P a g e | 3 Staff is not independently aware and has not been informed by any City Councilmember of any other fact that may constitute a basis for a decision-maker conflict of interest in this matter. CURRENT-YEAR FISCAL IMPACT The Police Department intends to purchase nine Ford Police Vehicles and four Chevrolet Vehicles during the current fiscal year, for a total of $707,459. The cost of these initial purchases is already included in the Infrastructure, Facilities and Equipment expenditure plan (Measure P funding) for fiscal year 2026-27. Approval of the resolutions requires no additional appropriation and has no current-year fiscal impact to the General Fund. Although nine Ford vehicles and four Chevrolet vehicles are currently requested for purchase at this time, the resolution will allow the Police Department to purchase additional vehicles at the respective bid amount during a later time, due to unanticipated vehicle replacement (inoperable or involved in a collision). The maximum aggregate compensation during the one-year term of the agreement for Desert Auto and Sedano shall not exceed $700,000 and $350,000, respectively.

Therefore, pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3), no environmental review is required. Recommended Action Adopt a resolution approving the purchase of real property located at 99 D Street (APN 566-122-43-00), for the purposes of the Lower Sweetwater Community Park Project and appropriating funds for this purpose. (4/5 Vote Required) SUMMARY The City of Chula Vista is planning a new community park on a site known as Lower Sweetwater. It is located on approximately 19.7 acres of City-owned land just west of Interstate 805 and south of State Route 54 and the Sweetwater River. Acquisition of this real property has been identified as necessary to establish access for both construction and future public use of the proposed park site. This item proposes the purchase of real property located at 99 D Street. 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 127 of 344 City of Chula Vista - City Council October 27, 2026, Post City Council Agenda P a g e | 2 This determination is predicated on State CEQA Guidelines Section 15004 which provides direction to lead agencies on the appropriate timing for environmental review. The future Lower Sweetwater Community Park Project, including associated site access, will require environmental review and preparation of appropriate documentation in accordance with applicable state requirements, including CEQA and applicable provisions of the City Municipal Code. BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION Not applicable. DISCUSSION The City of Chula Vista is planning a new community park on a site known as Lower Sweetwater. It is located on approximately 19.7 acres of City-owned land just west of Interstate 805 and south of State Route 54 and the Sweetwater River. History of Lower Sweetwater The Lower Sweetwater park site has been vacant for most of the City’s history. The site was bisected by the Sweetwater River before the river was realigned and channelized through several public works projects in the 1970s, including the construction of State Route 54 and Interstate 805. The Chula Vista General Plan, adopted in 2005, identified Lower Sweetwater as a future park site. The City’s Parks & Recreation Master Plan in 2016 also identified Lower Sweetwater as a future community park and provided a list of recommended park amenities based on community needs at the time. Designing the Park The park is currently in the early stages of planning and design, and the City is exploring funding opportunities. Community members will be invited to participate in a park planning process to identify and prioritize desired amenities, such as playing fields, playground equipment, and restrooms. The process will include gathering input through online surveys and in-person meetings for community members to provide ideas and feedback on preliminary design options. Estimated costs for various amenities, and an estimated budget for the project as a whole, will help determine the options available. The community engagement process will inform the creation of a new Park Master Plan for the site. When complete, the Park Master Plan will be presented to the Chula Vista Parks and Recreation Commission and City Council for discussion and approval. Site Access During the planning process, staff identified the need for expanding the dedicated public access to the proposed park site. While the City currently has rights to a portion of right-of-way along First Avenue, it is insufficient for park access purposes; therefore, the City seeks to acquire additional property currently held Page 128 of 344 City of Chula Vista - City Council October 27, 2026, Post City Council Agenda P a g e | 3 under private ownership. Acquisition of property is necessary to provide safe and permanent access for construction, future park operations, and public use. Staff has negotiated with the property owner of 99 D Street (APN 566-122-43-00) for the purchase of the property to expand potential access. The proposed real property purchase agreement would allow the City to purchase 99 D Street for $575,000. The City also requires an additional $25,000 for escrow and closing costs, as well as for maintenance and security of the site. DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT Staff has 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 is not independently aware and has not been informed by any City Council member of any other fact that may constitute a basis for a decision-maker conflict of interest in this matter. CURRENT-YEAR FISCAL IMPACT The projected fiscal impact of this action is estimated at $600,000, including acquisition costs, escrow and closing costs, and maintenance and security of the site. All costs associated with the purchase of the property will be funded by the Sunbow Park Benefit Fee Fund revenues. This action amends the fiscal year 2026-27 budget by increasing appropriations in the Other Capital category of the Sunbow Park Benefit Fee fund. ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT Any future costs associated with Lower Sweetwater Community Park will be presented to the City Council for consideration and approval. ATTACHMENTS 1.

Recommended Action Adopt a resolution amending the Fiscal Year 2026-27 Capital Improvement Program Budgets and Measure P Infrastructure, Facilities, and Equipment Expenditure Plan, and appropriating funds for the repair of the Civic Center Building B roof. (4/5 Vote Required) SUMMARY The Engineering and Capital Projects and Development Services Departments are housed at Civic Center Building B, located at 276 Fourth Avenue. The roof on this facility has reached the end of its service life and shows significant issues that may result in water intrusion if not addressed. The Public Works Department recommends proceeding with major repairs to the roof, estimated at $230,000, which will act as a short-term remedy until a full roof replacement can be scheduled. Adoption of the proposed resolution would authorize the City to move forward with the roof repair project and appropriate unallocated Measure P revenues to fund the work. 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 Page 143 of 344 City of Chula Vista - City Council October 27, 2026, Post City Council Agenda P a g e | 2 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 This action was anticipated to be presented to the Measure P Citizens’ Oversight Committee at its regularly scheduled October 22, 2026, meeting; however, the meeting wasn’t held due to lack of quorum. The item will be presented to the Committee at a future meeting. DISCUSSION The Engineering and Capital Projects and Development Services Departments are housed at Civic Center Building B, located at 276 Fourth Avenue. The roof on this facility has reached the end of its service life and is showing significant issues that may result in water intrusion if not addressed. Replacement of the roof will be included in a future budget. However, due to available resources, project scheduling, and anticipated winter storm conditions, a full replacement cannot be completed at this time. The repair of the roof will act as a stop gap measure until the full roof replacement can be funded and the project scheduled. The Public Works Department recommends proceeding with major repairs to the roof. The proposed scope of work includes (approximately 11,000 square feet): Pressure wash existing roof system free of dirt and debris. Properly dispose off-site. Remove failed mastic on roof field and penetrations (including solar stanchions that are in the area of work only.) Repair any splits, blisters, or mole runs with a three-course of Cool-Sil HB and Grip Polyester. Seal all penetrations and solar stanchions with Cool-Sil FG. Apply one coat of Cool-Sil HB White at 3.5 gal per sq to entire roof area. Allow to cure. All internal drain sumps to be reinforced with Grip Polyester Soft 12" into the Cool-Sil HB White coating. Apply a final coat of Cool-Sil HB White at 1 gal per sq to the entire roof area. Embed Sunburst Roofing Granules at 10-20 Ibs per sq. into the coating while wet to create a nonskid surface. Contractor to provide a 2-yr warranty for labor. Including project contingencies, the total estimated cost of the roof repair project is $230,000. As noted above, the labor will have a 2-year warranty and materials are warranted by the manufacturer. Council previously approved a contract with Garland DBS, Inc to provide roof replacement, repair and maintenance services. The contractor is available to mobilize and start work within 2-3 weeks after the approval of this item. As noted above, the roof repair will act as a short-term remedy until a full roof replacement can be scheduled and funded. Adoption of the proposed resolution would authorize the City to move forward with the roof repair project and appropriate unallocated Measure P revenues to fund the work.

Consequently, this item does not present a disqualifying real property-related financial conflict of interest under California Code of Regulations Title 2, section 1870.2(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 amendment of: The fiscal year 2026-27 Capital Improvement Projects Program Budgets by appropriating $230,000 in Measure P funding to project GGV0234 (Public Building Repairs). The Measure P Infrastructure, Facilities, and Equipment Expenditure Plan to reflect the appropriation. The above adjustments do not have a current year net fiscal impact, as funds for the repair of the Civic Center Building B roof will be supported by unprogrammed revenues in the Measure P Fund for fiscal year 2025- 26, generated from interest earnings. ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT The roof repair project will have a 2-year labor warranty period, and materials will be warranted by the manufacturer. The roof repair project will provide an interim solution until a full roof replacement project can be scheduled and funded. Ongoing costs after the full replacement of the roof will primarily consist of routine maintenance and periodic minor repairs necessary to preserve the roof’s condition and extend its useful life. These expenses will be incorporated into future budgets as part of the annual budget development process. ATTACHMENTS None.

I am a resident in the Montecito area. Is it possible to get street lights in the crosswalk next to the Montecito Clubhouse? I've seen people almost take out families. The crosswalks are very very poorly lit. Additionally with the influx and crowding community (more complexes) coming, what is the plan to crack down on people speeding (a significant issue). These streets are small and not wide enough. There is no clear yellow divider. I'm terrified driving down these streets. What is the plan if there was emergency, say a fire. With the influx of all these people, what this thought about in regard to how people would all be safely evacuated in a timely manner out of the Montecito area.

Thank you***** Dear Mayor Mccann, I am writing to express my concerns regarding the recent resignation of a long standing member of the Veterans Advisory Commission, particularly ahead of the upcoming Veterans Day parade, and to inquire about the circumstances surrounding this decision. Additionally, concerns have been raised regarding the appointment process for this Mayoral appointed committee, specifically that individuals with personal connections, such as real estate associates, may be favored over other qualified community members. While the challenge of recruiting commission volunteers is recognized, favoring individuals based on personal relationships undermines an equitable appointment process As outlined in the City of Chula Vista Charter § 600 and Municipal Code Chapter 2.39, the Veterans Advisory Commission plays a vital role in advising the City Council, supporting patriotic observances, and advocating for local veterans Given the critical duties of this seven-member commission, enensuring transparent support Written Communications Public Comment - Magdalena S Received 10-23-26 Page 154 of 344 City of Chula Vista - City Council October 27, 2026, Post City Council Agenda and fair retention for its members is essential I encourage you to interview the individuals recommended by Ms. Pine as candidates to fill this vacancy.

The JNF is scheduled to have a national annual conference at Chula Vista’s Gaylord Pacific center on Nov. 12. The City of Chula Vista financed the Gaylord Pacific resort and convention center. The City has not just a financial responsibility, but a moral responsibility related to what happens there. Profit must not take precedent over fundamental humanity.

Page 159 of 344 City of Chula Vista - City Council October 27, 2026, Post City Council Agenda Dear Council Members, please read through this. First: Remember that Judaism and Zionism are not the same thing. Judaism is a religion and culture going back thousands of years; Zionism is a political ideology out of Europe about 150 years ago. Second, know that even strident supporters of the IHRA explicitly agree that it is NOT anti-Semitic to be critical of the state of Israel. And given events, there is sadly much too much to be critical of. Belying the idea of cease fire, Gaza continues to be bombed and militarily occupied with ongoing civilian displacement and deaths. The absolute destruction of Gaza is now also brought to southern Lebanon, more displacement and deaths, ongoing. Accelerated “settler” attacks throughout the West Bank, even US and European official representatives beaten and robbed, and as this is written, complete military blockade of the West Bank proclaimed. Senior Israeli leaders explicitly calling for the absolute displacement of all Palestinians, by any means, including death. Only the willfully ignorant can deny what’s being done by the state of Israel. This is thoroughly, horribly inhumane and racist. It is identified as genocide, by bona fide sources including Jewish experts. But sadly, the JNF supports, promotes, celebrates, and financially funds these acts https://www.jnf.org/our-vision. This is not about protecting and promoting Judaism; this about the extreme form of the Zionist political ideology which fuels Israel’s extremism.

Recommended Action Conduct the public hearing and place an ordinance on first reading amending Chula Vista Municipal Code (CVMC) Sections 19.04.002, 19.48.025, and 19.48.040 regarding Community Purpose Facilities. (First Reading) SUMMARY The proposed item amends CVMC Sections 19.04.002, 19.48.025, and 19.48.040 to reorganize the Code Section for flow and clarity; clarify the review and approval process and permitted uses and describe how a Community Purpose Facility is defined and calculated; add affordable housing as a permitted use for Community Purpose Facilities within the Planned Community zone; and correct cross references due to t he reorganization. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The proposed legislative action was reviewed for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and it has been determined that the action qualifies for the “common sense” exemption under CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3). The action involves only updates and modifications to the CVMC, including the modification of permitted uses and process streamlining for Community Purpose Facilities. Thus, no further environmental review is required. Page 171 of 344 City of Chula Vista - City Council October 27, 2026, Post City Council Agenda P a g e | 2 BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION The proposed amendment to the Community Purpose Facilities (CPF) Ordinance was first presented as part of a broader code update package at a December 14, 2022, Planning Commission (“Commission”) meeting. At that time, the CPF Ordinance amendment proposed to add affordable housing as a permitted use and give expanded discretion to the City Manager’s Office and Director of Development Services to approve alternative compliance mechanisms for CPF-designated lands. Commissioner comments focused on reduced oversight of both the Planning Commission and City Council on CPF decisions/uses, specifically by adding affordable housing as a permitted use. Additionally, the Commission noted that no fully informed decision could be made about the issue without having an inventory of existing and planned CPF sites and obligations. On August 12, 2026, the proposed amendments to the CPF Ordinance were brought back to the Commission for reconsideration. A map depicting the location of each existing/constructed and future/planned CPF sites pulled from the Sectional Planning Area (SPA) Plan Utilization Plans, were provided for their review and are also included as Attachments 1 and 2 respectively to this staff report. Commissioner comments at the hearing were limited to Commission oversight of interim uses. Staff clarified that although interim uses will be approved administratively, the Commission and City Council will continue to have oversight and approval authority of new SPA Plans and SPA Plan Amendments. Ultimately, the Commission voted 3-0-0 to adopt a Resolution recommending approval of the proposed amendments (Attachment 3). COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT Staff presented the proposed amendments to the Development Oversight Committee on July 15, 2026, and received positive feedback with no modifications. DISCUSSION Background Community Purpose Facilities Ordinance The City Council originally approved the CPF Ordinance on April 23, 1991 (Ordinance No. 2452A), which established standards and regulations that required developers to set aside land in the Planned Community (P-C) zone for community-oriented uses benefiting the immediate community. The purpose of the CPF Ordinance was to create community-serving uses in centrally located areas to establish a neighborhood’s identity as well as support its character and general welfare. The CPF Ordinance added a definition for CPF uses, established the requirement and minimum acreage for CPF uses in P-C zones, and identified the required contents of the General Development Plan (GDP) and SPA Plan. Following adoption of the Ordinance, all development within a P-C zone was required to provide CPF land in accordance with the CPF Ordinance. Since its original adoption in 1991, the CPF Ordinance has been amended five (5) times to: expand the allowable CPF uses; clarify the reduced acreage requirement through shared parking, extraordinary public benefit, and alternative compliance; clarify provisions for interim uses; and add required findings for recreational uses. Otay Ranch General Development Plan (GDP) The Otay Ranch GDP was approved by the City and County of San Diego on October 28, 1993, dictating the future development of the Otay Ranch Villages as implemented through SPA Plans. The GDP and subsequent Page 172 of 344 City of Chula Vista - City Council October 27, 2026, Post City Council Agenda P a g e | 3 SPAs established land requirements for CPF to be dedicated for religious, fraternal, civic, human service, and charitable organizations. General Plan Housing Element The City’s General Plan 2021-2029 Housing Element was adopted by the City Council on September 13, 2022. Implementing Program 2.6 of the Housing Element Policy and Implementation Plan requires the City to explore amendments to applicable CVMC Sections to allow residential development for lower income households as a permitted/by right use for CPF lands, and as a public benefit in the context of CVMC. In accordance with this Housing Element requirement, and as further detailed below, City staff presented a proposed amendment to the CPF Ordinance in December 2022. The above recommended action, along with subsequent consideration by the City Council, will satisfy Housing Element Implementing Program 2.6. CPF Implementation Over the last 35 years, development within the P-C zone, including within the Otay Ranch GDP, has satisfied CPF obligations by utilizing various options afforded by CVMC Section 19.48.025. While early developments provided CPF uses in accordance with the permitted uses established in the CPF Ordinance, developers have noted challenges meeting the ordinance requirements over the last several years. For approximately the last 10-15 years, developers have frequently utilized the alternative compliance provisions in the ordinance to meet their CPF obligations. The alternative compliance provisions allow for a reduction in the total CPF acreage obligation through shared parking agreements, an extraordinary public benefit determination, or an equivalent alternative compliance mechanism. The preference for utilization of the alternative compliance provisions is indicative of the challenges in meeting the requirements of the existing CPF Ordinance. Proposed Ordinance The proposed revisions to CVMC Section 19.48.025 relate to formatting and flow, the review and approval process, and expanding permitted CPF uses. They are as follows: 1. To provide clarity from an implementation perspective, the section has been reorganized to describe how a CPF is defined and calculated, what uses are permitted, minimum criteria for certain permitted uses, what alternative compliance mechanisms are available, and the approval process for interim uses. 2. To promote streamlining and efficient implementation, the requirement for a conditional use permit for permitted uses has been removed and such uses are proposed to be permitted by right. Development of the permitted uses may be subject to additional permits, which will be processed in accordance with the adopted SPA plan regulations. 3. To promote the development of affordable housing within the City as contemplated by the Housing Element Implementing Program 2.6, affordable housing developments have been added as a permitted use. Standards have also been added to ensure that low-income and extremely low-income units are specifically constructed and subject to an updated Public Facilities Financing Plan and updated Fiscal Impact Analysis. Additionally, any affordable housing projects used to meet CPF obligations must be in addition to the affordable housing requirements of CVMC Chapter 19.91 (Inclusionary Housing) and applicable State law affordable housing requirements. These project types are also required to execute an Affordability Agreement to ensure the rent/income levels are Page 173 of 344 City of Chula Vista - City Council October 27, 2026, Post City Council Agenda P a g e | 4 maintained for fifty-five (55) years for rental developments or forty-five (45) years for for-sale developments. 4. To promote streamlining and efficient implementation, the approval authority for conditional interim uses has been delegated from the City Council with recommendation from Planning Commission to the Zoning Administrator. 5. Finally, to reflect current practice, the annual SPA plan review has been delegated from the City Council to the City Manager. The revisions to CMVC Sections 19.04.002 and 19.48.040 include correcting the CVMC reference to the allowed CPF uses from the CPF definition and correcting the CVMC reference to the minimum development criteria for public recreational facilities from the minimum land area required for such facilities, respectively. 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 California Political Reform Act (Cal. Gov’ t. Code § 87100, et seq.). Staff is not independently aware and has not been informed by any City Council member of any other fact that may constitute a basis for a decision-maker conflict of interest in this matter. CURRENT-YEAR FISCAL IMPACT There is no current-year fiscal impact to the General Fund or Development Services Fund as a result of the adoption and implementation of the proposed ordinance. ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT There is no ongoing fiscal impact to the General Fund or Development Services Fund as a result of the adoption and implementation of the proposed ordinance.

Recommended Actions Conduct the public hearing and: A. Place an ordinance on first reading amending Chula Vista Municipal Code Title 2 (Administration and Personnel), Title 17 (Environmental Quality), and Title 19 (Planning and Zoning) to remove obsolete verbiage, clarify processes/regulations, and update outdated references (First Reading) B. Adopt a resolution for a clarification to the Freeway Commercial Sectional Planning Area (SPA) Plan Use Matrix SUMMARY This item proposes amendments to CVMC Title 2 (Administration and Personnel), Title 17 (Environmental Quality), and Title 19 (Planning and Zoning), as well as a clarification to the Freeway Commercial North SPA Plan Use Matrix. These updates will remove obsolete verbiage, clarify processes/regulations, and update outdated references. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The proposed legislative action has been reviewed for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and determined that the action qualifies for the “common sense” exemption under CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3). The action involves amendments to the CVMC and a clarification to the Page 203 of 344 City of Chula Vista - City Council October 27, 2026, Post City Council Agenda P a g e | 2 Freeway Commercial SPA Plan Use Matrix, including replacing references for the Director of General Services and the Director of Planning and Building Department with their current titles, adding remote workers as part of home occupation businesses, adding campers and travel trailers to be permissively stored on a residential property, and deleting a redundant use for food retail specialty stores. Furthermore, the action of updating and modifying the CVMC with procedural and clerical changes will not result in an intensification of uses or a change in development potential within the City above what already is permitted under the existing land use and zoning policies of the CVMC and SPA Plan that are being updated. Based on an analysis of the nature and type of these procedural and clerical changes to the CVMC and SPA Plan, there is a certainty that there is no possibility that the actions may have a significant effect on the environment. BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION On September 23, 2026, the proposed CVMC amendments and Freeway Commercial SPA Plan clarification were brought to the Planning Commission (“Commission”) for consideration. The Commission voted 5-0-0 to adopt Resolution No. 2026-011 (Attachment 1) recommending approval of the proposed amendments with no modifications. COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT Staff presented the proposed amendments to the Development Oversight Committee on September 16, 2026, and received positive feedback with no modifications. DISCUSSION Each individual item that is a CVMC amendment or SPA Plan clarification is in Table 1 and is grouped into two (2) broader categories: Procedural and Land Use and Development. “Procedural” refers to revisions that are procedural in nature and/or contain formatting changes. In this revision, this includes the following items: 1) Replacing references to the Director of General Services; and 2) Revising references to the Planning and Building Department/Director. “Land Use and Development” refers to revisions within Title 19 and the Freeway Commercial SPA Plan to land use or development standards. This includes: 1) Adding Remote Workers for Home Occupation Businesses; 2) Adding Campers and Travel Trailers for Allowed Vehicles on Residential Properties; and Habitation; and 3) Eliminating redundant uses within the SPA Plan Use Matrix. Table 1 – Proposed Code Update & Clarification Items Procedural Topic Issue Solution Location Director of General Services Page 204 of 344 City of Chula Vista - City Council October 27, 2026, Post City Council Agenda P a g e | 3 Planning and Building Department/Director The Planning and Building Department and Director Title have been obsolete for some time and are still in the Code. Additionally, the Development Services Department is the relevant Department Title as it applies to Planning and Building-related standards and processes. Replace the obsolete Department/Director Titles with the Development Services Department/Director where applicable. CVMC Title 2 (Administration and Personnel) CVMC Title 17 (Environmental Quality) CVMC Title 19 (Planning and Zoning) Land Use & Development Topic Issue Solution Location Remote Workers for Home Occupation Businesses Many home occupation businesses include administrative uses such as offices, with employees primarily conducting their business functions online and not in-person. Add additional language for remote workers as it pertains to home occupation businesses. CVMC Title 19 (Planning and Zoning) Recreational Vehicle Storage and Habitation Campers and travel trailers are currently specified as vehicles that can be stored for a certain period of time on a property with a residential use. However, those recreational vehicle types are missing from the section that discusses the maximum number of vehicles allowed on the property, which is a combination of no more than two (2). Add campers and travel trailers, in addition to motorhomes and camping trailers, to the maximum combination amount of no more than two (2) to be stored on a property with a residential use. CVMC Title 19 (Planning and Zoning) Grocery Stores Within the SPA Plan, there is more than one applicable category listed within the Land Use Matrix for this same grocery store use. There should also not be a limitation for this use based on square footage alone. Delete “Food store, Specialty Market (<40,000 square feet)”, as it is already covered under “Retail Store or Shop.” Freeway Commercial SPA Plan Land Use Matrix DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and has determined that the real property holdings of the City Council members do not create a disqualifying real property-related financial conflict of interest under the California Political Reform Act (Cal. Gov’ t. Code § 87100, et seq.). Staff is not independently Page 205 of 344 City of Chula Vista - City Council October 27, 2026, Post City Council Agenda P a g e | 4 aware and has not been informed by any City Council member of any other fact that may constitute a basis for a decision-maker conflict of interest in this matter. CURRENT-YEAR FISCAL IMPACT There is no current-year fiscal impact to the General Fund or Development Services Fund as a result of the adoption and implementation of the proposed ordinance. ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT There is no ongoing fiscal impact to the General Fund or Development Services Fund as a result of the adoption and implementation of the proposed ordinance. ATTACHMENTS 1.

Therefore, pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3), no environmental review is required. Recommended Action Receive the presentation and provide feedback and direction to staff as appropriate for the development of the Chula Vista Elite Athlete Training Center’s Master Plan. SUMMARY In April 2026, the City Council approved funding to create a Master Plan for the Chula Vista Elite Athlete Training Center (“CVEATC” or the “Center”). This plan will guide the long-term future of the 155-acre site, including how the land is used, what facilities should be improved, and how the Center should be operated. The plan will look at the condition of the facilities, ways to offer more programs, opportunities to bring in revenue, and steps for future development. The plan will also explore uses that provide strong public benefits and ensure long-term access for residents. The City’s consultant, Dudek, has begun gathering information about the site and meeting with stakeholder groups. Tonight’s discussion will allow City Council to review the initial findings and provide feedback to help shape the Master Plan. 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 Page 245 of 344 City of Chula Vista - City Council October 27, 2026, Post City Council Agenda P a g e | 2 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. This determination is predicated on State CEQA Guidelines Section 15004 which provides direction to lead agencies on the appropriate timing for environmental review. The future Chula Vista Elite Athlete Training Center’s Master Plan will require environmental review and preparation of appropriate documentation in accordance with applicable state requirements, including CEQA and applicable provisions of the City Municipal Code. COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT A community workshop was conducted at the Chula Vista Elite Athlete Training Center on Wednesday, October 21, 2026 and an online survey is currently available on Community Voices to gather additional community input. Stakeholder interviews have been conducted with local school districts and universities, economic development partners including sports tourism organizations and local and regional chambers of commerce, as well as sports medicine providers and CVEATC users. BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION All Board, Commission, and Committee members have been invited to participate in the current survey. Master Plan recommendations will be routed through the appropriate boards or commissions prior to being presented to Council. DISCUSSION On April 14, 2026, Council approved funding for the preparation of a master plan for the CVEATC. The CVEATC Master Plan will establish a long-term vision for the approximately 155-acre campus, including future land use, facility improvements, operational strategies, and potential public-private partnerships. The planning efforts include: Evaluation of facility conditions and future needs Identification of opportunities for expanded programming and revenue generation Community and stakeholder engagement Development of implementation strategies and phasing In addition to establishing a long-term vision for the site, a key objective of the CVEATC Master Plan is to expand and enhance community access to the facility. This includes identifying opportunities for broader public use, programming, and amenities that strengthen the Center’s role as a community asset. The Master Plan will also evaluate opportunities for public-serving uses that provide an extraordinary public benefit and contribute to the community fabric, with an emphasis on ensuring long-term public access. To date the City’s consultant, Dudek, has gathered information about the site, market conditions, met with multiple stakeholder groups and is in the process of gathering community feedback. Stakeholder outreach has included CVEATC users and elite athletes; sports organizations and governing bodies such as USA Rugby, Page 246 of 344 City of Chula Vista - City Council October 27, 2026, Post City Council Agenda P a g e | 3 USA Archery, and Easton; local school districts and higher education institutions; regional economic development, tourism, and sports-industry representatives; and the United States Performance Center. Stakeholders have provided insight into current CVEATC operations and user needs, opportunities for partnerships and investment, the Center’s role in the regional economy, and emerging opportunities around sports science, health, wellness, human performance, and longevity. This item is before Council to present relevant information found to date and gather feedback as part of the development of the CVEATC Master Plan. 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.). CURRENT-YEAR FISCAL IMPACT There is no current-year fiscal impact associated with this item. Future fiscal impacts will be analyzed and presented to Council as part of the master planning process. ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT There is no ongoing fiscal impact associated with this item. Future fiscal impacts will be analyzed and presented to Council as part of the master planning process. ATTACHMENTS None.

Therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3) no environmental review is required. Recommended Action Accept the quarterly financial report for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 (the “Fourth Quarter Report”) and adopt the following resolutions: A) making various amendments to the fiscal year 2025-26 budget to adjust for variances and appropriating funds for that purpose (4/5 Vote Required); B) accepting donations in the amount of $31,007.50 from the Chula Vista Police Foundation in support of Police Department K9 operations. SUMMARY The Finance Department, in collaboration with other City of Chula Vista (“City”) departments, prepares quarterly financial reports for the General Fund that reflect budget to actual comparisons, projected revenues and expenditures, and highlights major variances that may require additional action or budgetary changes to the Amended Budget.

For government entities, a budget creates a legal framework for spending during the fiscal year. After the budget is approved by the City Council, there are circumstances which arise that could require adjustments to the approved budget.

General Fund Overview General Fund Revenues are estimated to exceed the Amended Budget by $2.1 million, primarily driven by an increase in Other Revenues offset by a reduction in Major Discretionary Revenues. General Fund Expenditures reflect a positive variance of $0.8 million compared to the Amended Budget. This results in an estimated General Fund surplus of $2.9 million that will be contributed to General Fund Reserves per the Page 275 of 344 City of Chula Vista - City Council October 27, 2026, Post City Council Agenda P a g e | 3 Citywide Reserve Policy – Fiscal Health Plan (Policy No. 220-03).

This overage is a combination of Other General Fund Revenues exceeding the Amended Budget by $4.3 million offset with less than anticipated Major Discretionary Revenues of $2.2 million. The variance in Major Discretionary Revenues reflect increases in Sales Tax, Measure A Sales Tax, Measure P Sales Tax, Franchise Fees and Property Tax in Lieu of VLF offset with decreases in Property Tax and Transient Occupancy Tax (“TOT”) revenues. Major Discretionary Revenues Sales Tax revenue is expected to exceed the Amended Budget by $1.2 million. Based on the latest information from HdL, the City’s sales tax consultant, this positive variance is primarily driven by consumer spending and heightened regional economic activity from major Southern California events, including the Super Bowl and the FIFA World Cup. Franchise Fees revenues are also projected to exceed the Amended Budget by approximately $0.9 million, primarily attributed to higher than anticipated receipts from so lid waste franchise fees and San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) franchise fees. Similarly, Measure A Sales Tax, Measure P Sales Tax revenues and Property in Lieu of VLF are expected to exceed the Amended Budget by $0.8 million combined. These positive variances in Major Discretionary Revenues are partially offset by decreases in Property Tax and TOT revenues. As first reported in the Second Quarter Report, Property Tax revenues are projected to be $3.9 million below the Amended Budget, which was developed based on the assessed valuation report provided by the County. While we continue to see growth in property tax over the prior fiscal year’s actuals of 5.2%, this growth is lower than anticipated in the budget. TOT revenues are expected to be $1.2 million below the Amended Budget, reflecting the delayed opening of two new hotels and revised revenue assumptions informed by actual receipts in the current fiscal year. Other Revenues Other revenues are projected to exceed the Amended budget by approximately $4.3 million primarily from a transfer from the Other Post Employment Benefit (“OPEB”) Reserve Fund of $0.8 million for eligible OPEB expenditures in the General Fund and an increase of anticipated investment earnings. Additionally, this category is exceeding the Amended Budget due to increases in departmental revenues associated with staff time reimbursement and are detailed in the General Fund Revenues section of the Fourth Quarter Report. General Fund Expenditures The City’s General Fund expenditures are projected to be lower than the Amended Budget by $0.8 million. The projected overage in Utilities, Transfers Out and Other Expenses totaling $1.2 million combined are expected to be offset with a decrease in Personnel Services, Supplies and Services and Other Expenditures Category of $2.0 million combined, resulting in a positive fiscal impact. The reduction in Personnel Services and Supplies and Services is primarily attributable to savings from vacant positions citywide and lower than anticipated operational expenses in various departments. The increase in the Transfers Out category is driven by additional transfers to the Measure A and Measure P Sales Tax Funds due to higher anticipated sales tax revenues, alongside transfers associated with the Bayfront development. This increase also reflects a supplemental transfer to the Public Liability Trust Fund to cover rising litigation costs. Page 277 of 344 City of Chula Vista - City Council October 27, 2026, Post City Council Agenda P a g e | 5 General Fund Reserves In accordance with the Citywide Reserve Policy – Fiscal Health Plan (Policy No. 220-03), the City is required to fund General Fund Reserves through surplus funds after the close of the fiscal year. Surplus funds are calculated at year-end and represent excess fund balance that is not otherwise designated and remains available for appropriations. Based on the Fourth Quarter Report, the City is projecting approximately $2.9 million in available surplus funds for contribution to the General Fund Reserves. This contribution is expected to fully fund the Operating Reserve at its 15% target and the Economic Contingency Reserve at its 5% target. The Catastrophic Event Reserve, however, is projected to remain slightly below its 3% target, at approximately 2.8%. Fiscal Year 2025-26 Budget Adjustments Staff are recommending various budget adjustments, appropriations, and transfers to City Departmental General Fund and Other Funds budgets that require City Council authorization. Amendments with financial impact of $75,000 or greater that exceed the budget transfer authority per policy are detailed in this report. For a comprehensive list of all other amendments, please refer to the Fourth Quarter Report. General Fund Adjustments The proposed adjustments result in no net impact to the fiscal year 2025 -26 General Fund budget. This includes transfers of General Fund appropriations of approximately $479,050 from Personnel Services Expenditures to Non-Personnel Expenditures in various departments. The recommended budget adjustments are shown in Table 2 below. Additional details by budget category can be found in Exhibit 1 to the Resolution.

Preparation of the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager to amend the fiscal year 2025-26 budget and approve appropriations and transfers in the General Fund and various other funds to ensure audited actuals resulting from final year-end closing entries do not exceed budget. Staff recommends that the Director of Finance report any amendments to the fiscal year 2025-26 budget and appropriations and transfers to the General Fund and various other funds approved by the City Manager in the next quarterly financial report. DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and has determined that it is not site-specific and consequently, the real property holdings of the City Council members do not create a disqualifying real property-related financial conflict of interest under the Political Reform Act (Cal. Gov't Code § 87100, et seq.). Staff is not independently aware and 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 The Fourth Quarter Report presents projected revenue and expenditure amounts as of June 30, 2026, with updates through October 16, 2026, as the most current information available. Approval of the resolution amending the fiscal year 2025-26 budget will result in the following fiscal impacts: Page 281 of 344 City of Chula Vista - City Council October 27, 2026, Post City Council Agenda P a g e | 9 General Fund – The proposed adjustments result in no net impact to the fiscal year 2025-26 budget. This includes a transfer of expenditures in various budget categories in General Fund appropriations.

Presented by Approved as to form by Adrian Del Rio Marco A. Verdugo Director of Finance/Treasurer City Attorney Page 288 of 344 City of Chula Vista - City Council October 27, 2026, Post City Council Agenda Page | 1 Quarterly Financial Report Period Ending June 30, 2026 INTRODUCTION Chula Vista City Council adopted the fiscal year 2025-26 budget on May 20, 2025. The Finance Department, in collaboration with other City of Chula Vista (“City”) departments, prepares quarterly financial reports for the General Fund that reflect budget to actual comparisons, projected revenues and expenditures, and highlight major variances that may require additional action or changes to the Amended Budget. Per Section 505(F) of the City Charter, the Director of Finance has prepared and submitted the quarterly financial report for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 (Fourth Quarter Report) through the City Manager. The Fourth Quarter Report is developed using twelve months of actual financial activity for fiscal year 2025-26 as of June 30, 2026. The data in this report is the most current data available; however, as Finance prepares the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report, projections are likely to change. The Fourth Quarter Report provides summary information for the following areas: Current economic environment Overview of the General Fund Details on major General Fund revenues and expenditure categories Discussion on significant General Fund revenue and expenditure variances Overview of Non-General Operating Funds Recommended budget adjustments to General Fund, Other Funds, and Capital Improvement Project expenditure budgets The Finance Department will continue to monitor the City’s actual revenues and expenditures and will provide updates in the next quarterly financial report. ECONOMIC OVERVIEW City staff reviewed information from various sources including the following: federal data (U.S. Bureaus of Economic Analysis, Labor Statistics; Federal Reserve; U.S. Treasury), the quarterly UCLA Anderson Economic Outlooks, HdL (City sales tax consultant), the San Diego Tourism Authority, and other sources to develop the economic assumptions and growth rates included in the Fourth Quarter Report. Highlights – National The UCLA Anderson Forecast (“Forecast”) for June 2026 reports a relatively resilient national Page 289 of 344 City of Chula Vista - City Council October 27, 2026, Post City Council Agenda Page | 2 economy despite another inflationary shock driven by the war in Iran.1 Rising energy prices became an added pressure on business and household spending, as well as the Federal Reserve in moderating inflation.1 Yet, with continued strong investment in artificial intelligence (AI) and tax cuts, the U.S. economy is expected to weather the oil shock and maintain its moderate growth trajectory.1 Unemployment The labor market remained largely unchanged at a national unemployment rate of 4.2% slightly ticking down, driven by a decrease in the labor force participation rate as opposed to widespread new hiring.2 The Forecast reflects the labor market slightly softening, with an unemployment increasing to 4.5% by the end of 2026 as energy costs weight on spending and fiscal stimulus ends.1 Inflation Despite periods of trending downward in 2025, inflation continues to be elevated.2 The seasonally adjusted annual rate of Consumer Price Index was 3.4% in July.3 The Forecast predicts inflation to peak at 4.5% caused by inflationary pressure shifting from tariffs to a new energy shock caused by the war in Iran and the closing of the Strait of Hormuz. 1 Interest Rates The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), part of the Federal Reserve, is committed to Congress’s mandate to promote maximum employment, stable prices (i.e., limited inflation), and moderate long-term interest rates. Reporting that job gains have remained low this year and unemployment remaining stabilized, in its latest meeting in July 2026 the Federal Reserve maintained the federal funds target at 3-1/2 to 3-3/4 percent.4 The “federal funds rate” established by the FOMC sets the interest rate at which banks lend money to other banks to maintain overnight reserves of funds. When the federal funds rate increases, the cost to banks for lending increases and passed on to businesses and consumers on other borrowing, such as for business investments, credit cards, cars, mortgages and other bank loans. Interest rate fluctuations impact the City’s finances by affecting borrowing costs for capital pro jects and long- term investments; private investments growth; and investment returns on its cash balances. Real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) The chart below from the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis displays recent quarterly results of real GDP, a measure of the value of all goods and services produced in a country over a period of time (adjusted for inflation), which is an economic indicator of growth. In the second quarter (Q2) of 2026, real GDP increased at an annualized rate of 2.2%, a slight decline from the first quarter (Q1) 1 UCLA Anderson School of Management.

GDP: Percent Change from Preceding Quarter The Forecast predicts GDP growth to hold at roughly 2.1% in 2026 rather than accelerate.7 Highlights – California The Forecast for California describes an economy that remains bifurcated, with output and income growth and employment remaining weak and uneven.7 The Legislative Analyst Office indicates, despite improvements in revenues, the California budget problem is larger than anticipated. The strong income tax collections driven by enthusiasm around AI, have driven the stock market to be overheated and possibly not sustainable.8 The latest state employment reports show a 5.2% unemployment rate, the state’s lowest since May 2024.9 Some factors impacting California labor include changes in H-1B visas and artificial intelligence (AI) development in the technology sector and a general decline in manufacturing. National immigration policies are also exhibiting impacts on the non-durable goods (food) and agriculture sectors. 5 U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis.

The outlook for the state’s economy remains subject to several uncertainties, including federal immigration policies and associated deportations, the scope and impact of tariffs and related trade responses and the pace and practical application of artificial intelligence technologies.7 GENERAL FUND OVERVIEW General Fund revenues are estimated to exceed the Amended Budget by $2.1 million, and expenditures are anticipated to be lower than the Amended Budget by $0.8 million. Staff anticipates major revenues to come in lower than budget by $2.2 million and other revenues to exceed the Amended Budget by $4.3 million, detailed in the General Fund Revenues section. Fourth quarter projections for expenditures, as well as any known significant expenditure budget adjustments, are detailed in the General Fund Expenditures section.

The shortfall in Property Tax of $3.9 million and Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) of $1.2 million is anticipated to be offset by the projected increases in Sales Tax, Property Tax in Lieu of VLF, Franchise Fees, Measure A Sales Tax, Measure P Sales Tax, and Other Revenues of approximately $7.2 million combined.

Property tax is administered by the County of San Diego and is limited by Proposition 13 to a general rate of 1% of assessed value. Currently, the City receives approximately 12.4% of property taxes revenues assessed for Chula Vista properties. Property tax is the City’s largest revenue source, representing 19.1% of General Fund revenues in the Adopted Budget. Property tax is projected to be $54.6 million; a $3.9 million decrease compared to the Adopted Budget. Approximately $1.3 million of the shortfall is attributable to the property taxes associated with timing of the supplemental property tax assessments for the Gaylord Pacific Resort and Convention Center project. This reduction in projected revenues also results in a corresponding decrease to expenditures in the Transfers Out category, resulting in an overall net zero fiscal impact to the General Fund. In addition, final updates to receivables from the County Assessor, combined with a decline in home sales, contributed to property tax growth that was lower than originally assumed in the budget. Page 293 of 344 City of Chula Vista - City Council October 27, 2026, Post City Council Agenda Page | 6 Based on trends observed in the current and prior fiscal years, staff revised the forecasting methodology to a more conservative approach to better reflect current market conditions. Based on the Zillow Home Value Index – June 2026, Chula Vista’s median home price for a single- family home was $837,898, a 0.3% year-over-year decline. A cooling trend in the housing market is apparent, with declines in sales across the San Diego region. Buyer enthusiasm has waned due to affordability constraints and mortgage rates remaining high despite recent Federal Reserve interest cuts. A slowdown in home sales will have some degree of impact on the growth of property taxes in the City as homes are typically reassessed at higher values upon major construction/improvements or sale, with home prices generally increasing over time. Property tax growth is otherwise limited by the cap on Proposition 13 on assessed value growth to the lesser of the California Consumer Price Index (CPI) or 2%. Source: Chula Vista Zillow Home Values Index (https://www.zillow.com/home-values/51405/chula-vista-ca/) Property Tax in Lieu of VLF Property tax in lieu of vehicle license fees (“VLF”) revenues are generated from vehicle license fees paid with vehicle registrations with the State of California and then allocated to cities and counties. VLF fluctuates with changes in assessed values within the City. Property tax in lieu of VLF is projected to be $34.0 million, a $0.2 million increase compared to the Adopted Budget, consistent with the Third Quarter Financial Report projections. Projections for fiscal year 2026 are based on updated information from the County. Sales Tax The Bradley-Burns Uniform Local Sales and Use Tax (Sales Tax) tax revenue is generated from a percentage tax imposed on the sale of retail goods and services that occur within the City. Sales tax revenue is highly sensitive to economic conditions and reflects the factors that drive taxable sales, including levels of unemployment, consumer confidence, per-capita income, and business investment. The total citywide sales tax rate is 8.75%, of which the City’s General Fund receives 1.0% of all taxable sales transactions within the City, excluding voter- approved sales tax measures for Measure P and A. $400,000.00 $500,000.00 $600,000.00 $700,000.00 $800,000.00 $900,000.00 June 2020 June 2021 June 2022 June 2023 June 2024 June 2025 June 2026 Me d i a n H o m e P r i c e Chula Vista Single Family Homes Page 294 of 344 City of Chula Vista - City Council October 27, 2026, Post City Council Agenda Page | 7 Sales tax revenue is the second largest General Fund source, representing 16.8% of the total General Fund revenues in the Adopted Budget. Sales tax is projected to be $52.4 million, reflecting a $1.2 million increase from the Adopted Budget of $51.2 million. Chula Vista’s largest economic segments include general consumer goods, state & county pools (sales tax revenues from transaction with no specific place of sale, allocated to local jurisdictions on a proportional basis), restaurants & hotels and autos & transportation. The opening of the Gaylord Pacific Resort and Convention Center on May 15, 2025, is anticipated to continue to generate a boost in sales tax revenue from visitor spending beyond the Gaylord Pacific Resort and Convention Center property, as guests venture into surrounding areas and contribute to broader local retail and dining activity. While the Adopted Budget assumed stable employment and consumer confidence, it did not anticipate ongoing fluctuations in consumer behavior and broader economic uncertainty. The City remains mindful of consumer confidence and concerns about geopolitical instability. Nevertheless, local dining activity and new business openings continue to provide meaningful support to overall taxable sales. Sales tax revenue will continue to be closely monitored to account for any changes in spending trends or other economic indicators impacting sales tax receipts. Measure P Sales Tax - Voters approved Measure P in November 2016 as a temporary, ten- year, half-cent sales tax dedicated to addressing high-priority deferred maintenance needs. In 2024, voters approved the continuation of Measure P through 2037. While the revenue generated from the Measure P sales tax is collected in the General Fund, the General Fund transfers this revenue to the Measure P Sales Tax Fund for accountability and transparency in the usage of these funds. These actions result in an overall net zero fiscal impact to the General Fund. Measure P sales tax is projected to be $31.1 million, reflecting a slight increase of $0.3 million from the Adopted Budget. Measure A Sales Tax - Voters approved Measure A in June 2018, established as a permanent half-cent sales tax to fund critical public safety needs and enhance staffing levels. Similar to Measure P sales tax, revenue is collected and tracked within the General Fund and transferred to the Measure A Sales Tax Fund for accountability and transparency in the usage of these funds. Separate accounts (one for the Fire department and one for the Police department) were established to support the monitoring and allocation of these funds. These actions result in an overall net zero fiscal impact to the General Fund. Measure A sales tax is projected to be $31.1 million, reflecting a slight increase of $0.3 million from the Adopted Budget. Franchise Fees Franchise fee revenues are generated from agreements with private utility companies in exchange for use of the City’s rights-of-way. The fee compensates the City for the use of its property, such as its streets. Franchise fees are collected from three primary sources: San Diego Gas & Electric (“SDG&E”) (2% on gas and 1.25% on electricity), Republic Services Page 295 of 344 City of Chula Vista - City Council October 27, 2026, Post City Council Agenda Page | 8 trash collection franchises (20% fee), and AT&T and Cox Communications cable franchises (5% fee). Franchise fee revenue is projected to be $16.4 million, a $0.9 million increase compared to the Adopted Budget, consistent with the Second Quarter Report projection. The change is largely due to an increase in revenue from SDG&E and Republic Services, while cable franchise revenues are down. The decrease represents the number of subscription service subscribers for cable television providers (premium video, equipment rental, on-demand, and programming services) as more customers continue to move to streaming services. Transient Occupancy Tax Transient Occupancy Tax (“TOT”) is a tax imposed on occupants of hotel and motel rooms, short-term rentals, and RV parks within the City. The current TOT tax rate in the City is 10%. Major economic drivers for TOT revenue include room rates, average occupancy rates, and seasonal and non-seasonal tourism. The City has experienced strong growth in TOT in recent years with a number of new hotel developments on both the west and eastern portions of the City as well as an expansion of the short-term rental compliance program. Additionally, it is important to note that the TOT revenue generated from the RV Park and the Gaylord Pacific Resort & Convention Center in the Bayfront area is transferred out from the General Fund to a separate fund as part of the contractual requirements for the Gaylo rd Pacific Resort & Convention Center project. TOT revenue is projected to be $20.6 million, an increase of $0.2 million compared to the Third Quarter Report projection, though still $1.2 million below the Adopted Budget. This revised projection reflects stronger-than-anticipated revenue performance, driven primarily by increased business travel and conferences at the Gaylord Pacific Resort & Convention Center. The remaining $1.2 million shortfall is due to the delay in anticipated opening of two hotels—now expected in future fiscal years beyond 2025-26—as well as updated revenue assumptions based on actual collections to date. Together, these factors reduce the estimated growth rate relative to the Adopted Budget, as reported in the Third Quarter Report. Utility Users’ Tax Utility User’s Tax (“UUT”) is a local excise tax imposed on the consumption of utility services by residents and businesses. Specifically, the City imposes a UUT on the use of telecommunications (cable, telephone) at the rate of 4.75% of gross receipts and UUT on natural gas services of $0.00919 per therm and $0.00250 per kilowatt on electricity services, which equates to approximately a 1% tax. UUT is collected by utility companies as part of its regular billing and then remit to the City. UUT is projected to align with the Third Quarter Report projection and Adopted Budget at $3.7 million. While some modest growth is anticipated in revenues from the natural gas and electricity utilities based upon population growth and the increases in utility prices, adoption of solar energy and conservations efforts suggest a decline in consumption of those utilities which reduce revenues. Additionally, consumption of telecommunications utilities is also expected to continue to decline due to changes in technology and consumer preferences. Page 296 of 344 City of Chula Vista - City Council October 27, 2026, Post City Council Agenda Page | 9 Other Revenues Other Revenues include the following revenue categories: Charges for Services, Federal Revenue, Fines and Penalties, Licenses & Permits, Other Revenue, State Revenue, Transfers In and Use of Money/Property. The Other Revenues category is anticipated to exceed the Adopted Budget by $4.3 million. Transfers In reflects a positive variance of $1.5 million related to a transfer from the Other Post Employment Benefit (OPEB) Reserve Fund to reimburse the General Fund for eligible OPEB expenditures in the General Fund and an increase of anticipated investment earnings. Charges for Services, Fines and Penalties, Other Revenue, State Revenue and Use of Money/Property reflect a $2.8 million positive variance combined primarily related to increased staff time reimbursements and permit fees.

GENERAL FUND EXPENDITURES General Fund expenditures are projected to be $0.8 million below the Amended Budget. A combined overage of $1.2 million in Other Expenses, Transfers Out and Utilities is expected to be fully offset by a combined $2.0 million decrease in Personnel Services, Supplies and Services, and Other Expenditures Category. Overall, these adjustments result in a positive fiscal impact.

We ask the Council to pursue two complementary actions: advocate for changes to state procedures for addressing dangerous and criminal residents, and reconsider local laws that affect housing providers’ ability to address safety concerns. We are saddened by the situation that occurred at Casa Lago. Unfortunately, it highlights a growing problem in the rental housing industry. Earlier this year there was another horrific act of violence at a Chula Vista rental property. As a result of that incident and growing discussion among housing providers, we decided to survey our members about violence and harassment. Over 130 rental housing providers respond to help provide vital information about their experiences in the last five years. Below is a summary of key results. You may access the full results by clicking here. 65% of respondents said hostile or threatening tenant behavior has become more common over the past five years. 76% reported experiencing threats, harassment, intimidation, violence, or other actions that created safety concerns on a rental property. 74% said property managers or leasing staff were affected by an incident. 68% said other tenants were impacted. 64% of staff at rental properties often or sometimes feel unsafe. One property manager reported being “brutally assaulted and had to have reconstructive surgery.” 67% of respondents have had tenants report feeling unsafe often or sometimes in the rental property due to another tenant’s behavior. Written Communications Kirkland/SCRHA - 8.4 Rcvd. 10/26/26 Page 330 of 344 City of Chula Vista - City Council October 27, 2026, Post City Council Agenda 9655 Granite Ridge Drive San Diego, CA 92123 T: 858.278.8070 www.socalrha.org Of those who experienced incidents at their properties, o Verbal harassment or threats were most common, occurring in 93% of incidents. o 25% of incidents involved physical violence. o 45% of incidents resulted in law enforcement being called. 74% said legal or regulatory requirements delayed removing a tenant whose behavior created safety concerns. 65% said that led to other tenants complaining or moving because they no longer felt safe. These findings demonstrate that violence and harassment are affecting not only personal safety, but also the day-to-day operation and long-term stability of rental housing communities. The survey findings describe members’ experiences with tenant behavior and barriers to addressing safety concerns. Alongside these concerns, our members face challenges involving unauthorized occupants and squatting. These issues warrant attention while keeping the circumstances of each case distinct. State law makes it exceedingly difficult for property owners and managers to remove problematic tenants and even illegal occupants. Hotels and short-term rental occupants are considered guests. In rental housing, even squatters are considered tenants andb enefit from all the protections designed to protect legitimate renters. Law enforcement’s ability to take immediate action is constrained because those are considered civil matters. For dangerous tenants, and trespassers and squatters, housing providers must go through the lengthy eviction (Unlawful Detainer) process to remove people, even for those who never had the right to be in a home to begin with. We strongly encourage the city to work with our state legislators to affect change to both the eviction process and the statewide issue of squatting. The eviction process is broken. Court funding and staffing has been cut by the state over the years, resulting in the process taking significantly longer than it should. Our members often report that an eviction takes 6 months to a year. In this time, the tenants are unlikely to pay rent and often destroy the unit or allow criminal activityto occur on the property. Last year, our statewide partner, the California Rental Housing Association, sponsored SB 448 Umberg) that would have provided a pathway for law enforcement to more quickly remove illegal occupants after certain noticing and documentation. Unfortunately, that bill stalled. We wouldbe honored to partner with the city in pursuing common sense legislationso that squatters can be removed more quickly.

We strongly encourage the city to revisit the local Tenant Protection Ordinance (TPO). Specifically, werecommend that it aligns with state law on when Just Cause protections become effective for renters. State law provides those protections at 12 months of tenancy, while the city’s ordinance grants protections to tenants on day one of tenancy. While this is well-intentioned, it unfortunately enables bad actors, something we expressed concern with during TPO discussions. Renters whose intent is to move in and stop paying rent or move in unauthorized occupants now get a longer runway to live rent free and create havoc. If we amend the TPO to provide Just Cause protections at 12 months of tenancies, housing providers will have the option of terminating month to month tenancies with a simple 30 day notice, without having to provide a reason that might have to be substantiated in court over the course of months. Importantly, the TPO’s remedies include both civil and criminal components with substantial penalties, including jail time, as well as definitions of harassment and retaliation that go beyond state law. We believe this has resulted in a scenario in which housing providers are hesitant to engage in simple communication with their residents for fear of fines or imprisonment, or worse, a violent reaction. SCRHA is happy to consult with attorney members and provide suggestions to the city so that the TPO can be amended to mitigate landlord fears while not impacting the original intent. Renters deserve protections and due process, and rule-abiding residents deserve peaceful communities. Our concern is that those protections are increasingly shielding bad actors while other residents suffer. Our members want to avoid vacancy and turnover and, more importantly, maintain peaceful communities. Property owners and managers want to solve issues quickly, but in many situations the lengthy legal process limits their ability to act. SCRHA is committed to helping the City of Chula Vista find solutions to the challenges currently impacting neighborhoods. We ask the Council to include state legislative advocacy and a review of the Tenant Protection Ordinance in its next steps, and we welcome the opportunity to work with city staff on both. Everyone deserves to feel safe where they live and work.
