PUBLIC COMMENTS Pat O'Neil addressed the Council regarding ongoing issues she and her neighbors are experiencing in the Chula Vista Mobile Home Park.

She asked the Council to consider the traffic calming recommendations provided by WalkSanDiego, especially in areas around schools. /1/-5'" Page 5 - Council Minutes http://www .chu1avistaca.gov March 21,2006 ACTION ITEMS 9. CONSIDERATION OF AN AMENDMENT TO THE MUNICIPAL CODE TO REGULATE THE PROXIMITY OF SEX OFFENDERS TO SCHOOLS AND PARKS Convicted sex offenders who have committed a sexual offense against children pose a threat to the children residing or visiting in our community, and therefore, the Council desires to impose additional safety precautions to further the goal of protecting children throughout the City. (Police Chief) City Attorney Moore stated the following for the record: "The sex offender ordinance before the City Council tonight establishes a buffer zone around schools and parks within the City. All five City Councilmembers own property within 500 feet of a school or park impacted by this ordinance. The Fair Political Practices Commission has provided us with a written opinion that all five Councilmembers have a conflict of interest with respect to voting on this ordinance. In addition, the Fair Political Practices Commission does not have sufficient facts to determine if enough property owners in Chula Vista would be equally impacted, so they cannot determine if the public general exception rule applies in this case. Therefore, the City must invoke the "rule of legally required participation" in order to take action on this ordinance. This requires that all five Councilmembers' names be placed in a hat, and three names will be pulled out at random. Those will be the Councilmembers who will be allowed to participate on this item." City Attorney Moore then placed slips of paper containing the Councilmembers' names into a hat and asked Senior Deputy City Clerk Peoples to draw three names to determine the Councilmembers who would be allowed to participate, while the remaining two would be asked to leave the Chambers. Senior Deputy City Clerk Peoples drew the following names at random: Councilmember Rindone, Councilmember Castaneda, and Councilmember Chavez. Mayor Padilla passed the gavel for purposes of this item to Councilmember Rindone. Mayor Padilla and Deputy Mayor McCann then left the dais at 7:03 p.m. Councilmember Rindone noted that no speaker slips had been received ITom the public. He then called on Police Chief Emerson to provide a brief overview of the staff report and respond to questions of the Council. Chief Emerson referred to the ordinance as "distance marker legislation," which prohibits registered sex offenders whose crimes were against minors ITom residing within 500 feet of the real property of a school, grades kindergarten through eighth grade, or a park. He stated that the proposed ordinance would not apply to people who established a residence prior to July I, 2006. Chief Emerson then responded to questions of Councilmember Castaneda, explaining the notification process to be used in the implementation of the City's new ordinance. Further, he explained that while other cities in the County have adopted loitering ordinances prohibiting those who are registered with a sex conviction against a child ITom loitering around a park, the City's proposed ordinance states that a sex offender cannot live within 500 feet of a park or school. Itf--&' Page 6 - Council Minutes http://www.chulavistaca.gov March 21,2006 .' ACTION ITEMS (Continued) Councilmember Chavez expressed the importance for parents and community members to be vigilant in protecting our children. Councilmember Rindone requested a report from staff in six months, as well as consideration of amending the ordinance to cover school grades from kindergarten through twelfth and addressing the loitering aspect of the issue. Councilmember Chavez concurred with the recommendation by Councilmember Rindone to cover school grades from kindergarten through twelfth. Tanya Rovira-Osterwalder, a Chula Vista resident, stated that she has a fourteen-year-old daughter and agreed with the Council that the ordinance should cover through twelfth grade. ACTION: Councilmember Castaneda moved to place the Ordinance on first reading, heading read, text waived: ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA ADDING CHAPTER 9.80 TO THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA MUNICIPAL CODE TO REGULATE THE PROXIMITY OF SEX OFFENDERS TO SCHOOLS AND PARKS (FIRST READING) Councilmember Chavez seconded the motion, and it carried 3-0-2, with Mayor Padilla and Deputy Mayor McCann abstaining from participation and absent from the dais due to the "rule oflegally required participation." Councilmember Castaneda further directed staff to bring back an analysis on modifying the ordinance to give the City the ability to fully restrict the presence of sex offenders within sensitive areas where children congregate, such as parks and libraries; and to also extend the coverage of the ordinance to school grades kindergarten through twelfth. Mayor Padilla and Deputy Mayor McCann returned to the dais at 7:27 p.m., and Councilmember Rindone handed the gavel over to Mayor Padilla. 10. CONSIDERATION OF AWARDING CONTRACTS FOR POLICE-INlTIATED TOWING AND STORAGE SERVICES, AND AMENDING THE SERVICE RATE SCHEDULE The Police Department recently completed a request for proposals for Police-initiated towing and impound services. Adoption of the resolutions awards the contracts, amends the service rate schedule, and authorizes the Police Department to make annual changes to the police-initiated towing service rate schedule. (Police Chief) Item 10 was taken out of order and actually addressed prior to Public Comments. // ."..';; '" Page 7 - Council Minutes http://www.chulavistaca.gov March 21, 2006 ACTION ITEMS (Continued) Deputy Mayor McCann stated he still had questions on this item and requested that it be continued for two weeks.

The following people declined to speak at this time: Peter Gregorovic, attorney representing JC Towing Inc., John and Josie Clark, owners of JC Towing, Inc., and David Pudgel, representing RoadOne.

She then thanked Senator Denise Ducheney for holding the first Medicare fair in the City and providing assistance to seniors in completing their applications for new prescription drug programs. She requested that the City's Communications Department/Webmaster provide a link on the City website to the Channel 10 website to provide this information to our seniors. She gave an update on translation services, stating that the City is currently looking at six different vendors that provide translation services. It is anticipated that the first translation service will be provided at the April 6, 2006 Council workshop. She also expressed the need to translate the Council agendas. Lastly, she asked staff to arrange a summit with the school districts to assist them in making a decision on a common school calendar. Deputy Mayor McCann stated that he had raised the common calendar issue at the City/Schools Task Force meeting and suggested that CounciImember Chavez be considered for appointment to the Task Force to address this issue next week when the committee assignments are considered. He then urged those present to join the Council by voting to support the Jessica's Law initiative on the June ballot.

SUBMITTED BY: Acting Director ofEngineering~ //, l' i -;J{) City Manager ill ~"" y ~ (4/5ths Vote: Yes x No-> REVIEWED BY: At their March 7, 2006 meeting, Council received a petition rrom residents of Sunbow II requesting that a streetlight be installed at the southwest corner of the intersection of Ingram Street with Brandywine Avenue. The residents expressed concern due to their sense that Ingram Street becomes very dark during evening hours due to deficient street lighting at this location. Staff researched this concern and concluded that the installation of a new streetlight is necessary to bring lighting up to City standards. Tonight, Council will consider establishing a new ClP project and approving a budget transfer in the amount of $13,260 necessary to complete this street light installation. As authorized by the City of Chula Vista Charter Section 1009 for Public Works projects less than $25,000, staff will proceed with an informal bidding process for the constmction of these improvements upon receiving Council approval for the establishment of the capital improvement project and the associated budget transfer. RECOMMENDATION: That Council authorize the establishment of the "Street Light Installation at the Southwest corner of Brandywine A venue and Ingram Street" (TF -343) capital improvement project and approve a budget transfer from the existing "Noise Study for Properties in the Vicinity of the 1-805 Corridor Project" (STM-353) in the amount of $13,260 necessary to complete the project. BOARDS/COMMISSION: N/A DISCUSSION: Field research verified that Ingram Street west of Brandywine does not receive adequate lighting rrom the existing street light system on Brandywine Avenue and Ingram Street installed as part of the Sunbow II improvements (see Exhibit 1). Staff recommends that a new streetlight be installed at the southwest corner of the intersection to bring the street lighting up to City standard. The general scope of work of the proposed project includes the installation of a new 250-watt streetlight and other ancillary work (including conduits, installation of pull boxes, and removal and replacement of a sidewalk panel). The work also includes all labor, materials, equipment, transportation, protection of existing improvements and other work necessary to perform the new improvements. The estimated construction cost is $13,260 (see Exhibit 2). 3-1 Page 2, Item ....2..- Meeting Date 04/11/06 In FY 2004/2005, $75,000 was budgeted in STM-353 in order to perform sound wall studies in the 1-805 corridor area. The current Direct Access Ramp (DAR) Project being administered by CALTRANS and SANDAG provides for all technical studies required for this regional project (including sound wall studies); therefore, $13,260 of the originally allocated funding can be diverted to the new streetlight (TF-343) project at this time. As permitted by Section 1009 of the Charter of the City of Chula Vista ("Contracts on Public Works"), staff anticipates conducting an informal bidding process for securing competitive offers for constructing these improvements estimated to total less than $25,000. Please note that the Purchasing Agent is authorized to approve Public Works contracts for less that $25,000. It is estimated that construction would be complete by late May 2006. FISCAL IMPACT: Approval of the proposed resolution will transfer $13,260 from the existing STM-353 (sound wall study) project to the new TF-343 (street light) project. There are sufficient funds available in STM-353 for this transfer. Please note that another item on tonight's agenda proposes transferring $50,000 from the remaining balance in STM-353 (sound wall study) to CIP Project TF-342 in order to fund the construction of median fencing along western and southern frontages (Otay Lakes Road and East H Street) of Bonita Vista High School. An information item provided with this week's Council Agenda packet provides additional background on STM-353, "Noise Study for Properties in the Vicinity of the 1-805 Corridor Project." There is no impact to the General Fund. Exhibits: I) Location Plat 2) Cost Estimate .

WHEREAS, installation of a street light at the southwest corner of Ingram Street and Brand ywine Avenue is necessary to bring street lighting up to standards at that location; and WHEREAS, in FY 200412005, $75,000 was budgeted into STM-353 "Noise Study for Properties in the Vicinity of the 1-805 Corridor"; and WHEREAS, with the current Direct Access Ramp (DAR) Project being administered by CALTRANS and SANDAG, all technical studies that are required in this area (including noise wall studies) are funded as part of this regional project and CIP project STM-353 is no longer needed; and WHEREAS, staff has estimated a construction cost of $13,260.00 for installation of the street light at the southwest comer of Ingram Street and Brandywine A venue; and WHEREAS, since CIP project STM-353, which has an available balance of $72,003, is no longer necessary, there is sufficient balance to transfer $13,260.00 of those funds for funding the "Street Light Installation at the Southwest Comer of Brandywine Avenue and Ingram Street (TF-343) Project".

(J City Manager f~ rR (4/5ths Vote: YesLNo -> SUBMITTED BY: The Fire Department has received donations in the amount of $29,000 from community donors. These donations were made to the Fire Department to support the department's fire suppression and fire prevention functions. The donations will be used to purchase equipment and supplies for these functions. RECOMMENDATION: That Council adopts the resolution accepting the donations in the amount of $29,000 and amending the FY06 Fire Department budget to appropriate $4,000 to services and supplies and $25,000 to capital. BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: N/A DISCUSSION: The Fire Department has received donations in the amount of $29,000. The Mary Birch Foundation donated $25,000 of this amount. The Fire Department will be using these funds to purchase thermal imaging camera (TIC) equipment. The use of TICs has become more and more prevalent in major fire departments throughout the country. TICs are designed to recognize heat- producing sources and thus significantly aid Firefighters in finding hidden fires within structures, and most importantly finding fire victims during search operations at structure fires. In addition, TICs are used extensively to enhance Firefighter safety by assisting the recovery of Firefighters that are lost or injured inside of a structure fire. With the acceptance of these donated funds, Chula Vista Fire Department will be adding to its existing complement of TICs and also expanding into a wireless technology component of TICs. The wireless hardware and software that will be added to the existing TICs, will be used by Incident Commanders in the field so that they can remotely view exactly what the interior fire crews are seeing with 4-1 their TICs. The Fire Department will also incorporate the wireless technology component into all future fire recruit training academies, in an effort to better educate all new Firefighters on fire behavior. The balance of funds ($4,000) was donated by Walmart to the Fire Prevention division. These funds will be used to purchase learning resources that will allow for a higher level of knowledge and increase firellife safety and public awareness in the community. FISCAL IMPACT: There are no matching funds required by the General Fund. Approval of the resolution results in a one-time $29,000 appropriation to the Fire Department budget offset by donations. 4-2 RESOLUTION NO. 2006- RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA ACCEPTING DONATIONS IN THE AMOUNT OF $29,000 AND APPROPRIATING SAID DONA TED FUNDS WHEREAS, The Fire Department received donations in the amount of $29,000 from the Mary Birch Foundation and Walmart; and, WHEREAS, The Fire Department appreciates the generosity and support shown by the Mary Birch Foundation and Walmart; and, WHEREAS, $25,000 of these funds donated by the Mary Birch Foundation will be used to purchase thermal camera equipment to enhance the department's fire suppression capability and increase firefighter safety; and, WHEREAS, $4,000 of these funds will be used by the Fire Prevention division to purchase learning resources that will allow for a higher level of knowledge and increase fire/1ife safety and public awareness in the community; and, NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT the City Council of the City of Chula Vista does hereby accept donations in the amount of $29,000 from the Mary Birch Foundation and Walmart and appropriates said donated funds to the Fire Department FY 2006 equipment and services and supplies budget for the purchase of thermal camera equipment and learning resources.

InfoSend, Inc. was chosen primarily due to their competitive pricing and quality of service. RECOMMENDATION: That Council adopt a resolution awarding the contract to InfoSend, Inc., for the printing and mailing of sewer bills from May 15, 2006 to May 14, 2007; and authorizing the Purchasing Agent to renew the agreement, with the same or similar prices and the same terms and conditions, for the next five years. BOARDS/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable. DISCUSSION: The City is responsible for sewer billing in the area served by the Sweetwater Authority. The City first contracted out mailing and printing services for these sewer bills in June 2002. With that contract up for renewal, a Request For Bid (RFB) was issued and using the City's formal bidding process, the bid was advertised in the Chula Vista Star News and five potential vendors were contacted. Three companies responded and the following table summarizes the bids. Pre-Sort Center 0.170 0.050 0.005 125.00/hr None No InfoSend submitted the lowest bid, and calls were made to several other cities and utility districts currently using InfoSend for their printing and mailing services. The City's sewer billing software system, Springbrook, confirmed that they have several clients that use InfoSend for the printing and mailing of their utility bills. The feedback received was all very positive. Based on InfoSend's competitive pricing and excellent business 5-1 Page 2, Item Meeting Date April 11 , 2006 references, staff is recommending awarding the contract to InfoSend, Inc. The City currently generates 90,000 sewer bills annually at a cost of approximately $0.20 per bill to cover paper, envelopes, printing and stuffing. Under this new contract, the cost per bill would be reduced to $0.138 per bill that would result in an annual savings of almost $6,000. Postage costs were approximately $27,000 but with the recent postage increase, is now estimated to be $29,000. These costs reflect the use of bulk-mailing services that allow the City to benefit from reduced postage rates. FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact to the General Fund. There is no impact to the current year's Sewer Fund budget as the costs for these services have already been appropriated. The fiscal year 2007 Sewer Fund budget will reflect a $4,000 reduction in Professional Services for these services. 5-2 RESOLUTION NO. 2006- RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA AWARDING A CONTRACT THROUGH THE FORMAL BIDDING PROCESS TO INFOSEND, INC., TO PROVIDE PRINTING AND MAILING SERVICES FOR SEWER BILLS WHEREAS, the City is responsible for sewer billing in the area served by the Sweetwater Authority.

This is the identical process approved by City Council since August 1998. RECOMMENDATION: That Council open the public hearing to consider assessing delinquent sewer service charges as recorded liens on the affected properties, consider all testimony and adopt the resolutions overruling all protests and assessing these charges as liens upon the respective owner occupied parcels of land. BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATIONS: Not applicable. 7-1 Page 2, Item_ 7 Meeting Date April 11, 2006 DISCUSSION: The Chula Vista Municipal Code Section 13.14.150 allows delinquent sewer service charges to be assessed as recorded liens upon the affected properties and ultimately placed on the property tax bills for collection. The ordinance states that upon notification of the property owners, a public hearing is set for sewer service accounts which are over sixty days delinquent. At the hearing the City Council considers the delinquent accounts together with any objections or protests by interested parties. At the conclusion of the hearing, the City Council, may either approve the delinquency and amount owed on the accounts as. submitted or as modified or corrected by the City Council. Lastly, the City Council adopts a resolution assessing such amounts as liens upon the respective parcels of land, and the amounts are charged to the property owners on the next regular property tax bill. Because charges can only be submitted for placement on the property tax bills once a year in August, staff is recommending assessing liens on the affected properties midyear as to better ensure the City's chances for collection. If the City were to address these delinquent charges only once a year in August, the effectiveness of using the property tax bill as a means of collection would be significantly reduced as the owners of record in August would not necessarily be the people responsible for the delinquent charges. In cases where the properties are sold or transferred, assessing liens midyear holds the correct parties responsible for the delinquent charges. In cases where the property owners choose to refinance their mortgages, the midyear liens would ensure the City receiving payment in a more timely manner as the delinquent charges would be paid through escrow during the refinancing process. . In November 2005, City Council approved liens for 42 delinquent sewer service accounts valued at $10,700 to be forwarded to the County for collection on the next regular property tax bill. Staff recently identified 237 owner occupied accounts totaling $65,400 as being over 60 days delinquent and through preliminary collection efforts, 94 accounts have been resolved, and the remaining 143 accounts valued at $40,300 are now being submitted (listing available at the Finance Department). Many of these property owners have gone through this lien process previously as they continue to leave their sewer service accounts unpaid. These property owners have been notified of their delinquencies, and last month, they were notified of the public hearing and were asked again to pay their delinquent sewer service charges to avoid a lien being placed on their property. Payment arrangements will be set up as needed, and staff will continue to update this list as payments are received and accounts are cleared. A final list will be submitted to the City Council at the City Council meeting for consideration as soon as all payments are recorded. 7-2 ~ Page 3, Item_ 7 Meeting Date April 11 , 2006 Staff is recommending that the City Council approve the final list of delinquent sewer accounts as submitted, and that these charges be forwarded to the County and assessed as liens on the respective owner occupied parcels of land and ultimately placed on the next regular tax bill for collection. FISCAL IMPACT: By placing delinquent sewer service charges on the property owner's regular tax bill, $115,000 in additional sewer fund revenues were collected in FY04-05. For FY05-06, an estimated $120,000 in additional revenues should be realized using this collection method. 7-3 RESOLUTION NO. 2006- RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA ASSESSING CERTAIN DELINQUENT SEWER SERVICE CHARGES AS RECORDED LIENS UPON THE RESPECTIVE OWNER OCCUPIED PARCELS OF LAND (GROUP "A") AND APPROVING PLACEMENT OF DELINQUENT CHARGES ON THE NEXT REGULAR TAX BILL WHEREAS, Chula Vista Municipal Code Section 13. 14.150 allows delinquent sewer service charges to be assessed as liens upon the affected properties and ultimately placed on the property tax bills for collection; and WHEREAS, in November 2005, City Council approved liens for 42 delinquent sewer service accounts valued at $10,700 to be forwarded to the County of San Diego for collection on the next regular property tax bill; and WHEREAS, staffhas identified 237 owner-occupied accounts totaling $65,400 as being over 60 days delinquent, a copy of which is on fIle with the City Clerk's office; and WHEREAS, Section 13 .14.150 of the Chula Vista Municipal Code further authorizes the City Council to hold a public hearing to consider the delinquency of solid waste service accounts, together with any objections or protests by interested persons; and WHEREAS, the respective property owners have been notified of their delinquencies and of the public hearing regarding the assessment of delinquent sewer charges; and WHEREAS, since charges can only be submitted for placement on the property tax bills once a year in August, staff is recommending assessing liens on the affected properties midyear as to better ensure the City's chances for collection; and WHEREAS, adoption of this resolution will enhance the collection process for delinquent sewer service charges by ensuring that the correct property owners are charged and that payment be received on a more timely basis; and WHEREAS, staff further recommends that the City Council approve the fmal list of delinquent sewer accounts as submitted, and that these charges be forwarded to the County and assessed as liens on the respective owner occupied parcels of land and ultimately placed on the next regular tax bill for collection. 7-4 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Chula Vista has considered and approves the November 2005 List of Delinquent Sewer Service Accounts, Group "A," as submitted by City staff in connection with the public hearing on this matter (a copy of which is attached to this Resolution).

Adoption of this resolution will enhance the collection process for delinquent solid waste service charges by reducing the amount of uncollectible losses and ensure that payment will be received on a more timely basis. This is the identical process approved by City Council on a regular basis since mid- 2001. RECOMMENDATION: That Council open the public hearing to consider assessing delinquent solid waste service charges as liens on the affected properties, consider all testimony, and adopt the 8-1 Page 2, Item_ 6'" Meeting Date April 11, 2006 resolutions overruling all protests and assessing these charges as liens upon the respective parcels of land. BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATIONS: Not applicable. DISCUSSION: In November 1998, City Council amended Municipal Code Section 8.24 to eliminate suspension of solid waste service for nonpayment. To ensure that all residents pay their fair share of the costs of this program, the ordinance allows delinquent solid waste service charges to be assessed as liens upon the affected properties and ultimately placed on the property tax bills for collection. The ordinance states that upon notification of the property owners, a public hearing is set for solid waste service accounts that are over ninety days delinquent. At the hearing the City Council considers the delinquent accounts together with any objections or protests by interested parties. At the conclusion of the hearing, the City Council, may either approve the delinquency and amount owed on the accounts as submitted or as modified or corrected by the City Council. Lastly, the City Council adopts a resolution assessing such amounts as liens upon the respective parcels of land, and the amounts are charged to the property owners on the next regular property tax bill. As these amounts are collected, the monies are remitted to Pacific Waste Services less the City's Franchise Fees, AB939 fees and late charges. . Because charges can only be submitted for placement on the property tax bills once a year in August, staff is recommending assessing liens on the affected properties midyear as to better ensure the City's chances for collection. If the City were to address these delinquent charges only once a year in August, the effectiveness of using the property tax bill as a means of collection would be significantly reduced as the owners of record in August would not necessarily be the people responsible for the delinquent charges. In cases where properties are sold or transferred, assessing liens midyear holds the correct parties responsible for the delinquent charges. In cases where property owners choose to refinance their mortgages, the midyear liens will ensure the City receiving payment in a more timely manner as the delinquent charges would be paid through escrow during the refinancing process. In November 2005, City Council approved 311 delinquent accounts valued at $38,400 to be placed on the property tax bills for collection. Since then, Pacific Waste Services has identified and submitted an additional 1 ,328 delinquent accounts valued at over $165,400 to the city for collection. Through the City's preliminary collection efforts, 463 accounts have been resolved, and the remaining 865 accounts valued at $126,900 are now being submitted (listing available at the Finance Department). The account status and property ownership on these accounts have been verified by both Pacific.Waste and City staff. Many of these delinquent accounts have gone through the lien process before as they continue to remain unpaid. 8-2 Page 3, Item_ ?' Meeting Date April 11, 2008 These property owners were notified of their delinquencies through a series of past due notices sent by Pacific Waste until they were ultimately submitted to the City for collection. City staff also sent out a past due letter, and last month, these property owners were notified of the public hearing and were asked to pay their delinquent solid waste service charges prior to transmittal of the delinquent account list to the County to avoid a lien being placed on their property. City staff has been working with Pacific Waste to resolve any customer disputes as they arise and payment arrangements have been set up as needed. Staff will continue to update this list as payments are received and accounts are cleared. A final list will be submitted to the City Council at the City Council meeting for consideration as soon as all payments are recorded. Staff is recommending that the City Council approve the final list of delinquent solid waste accounts as submitted, and that these charges be forwarded to the County and assessed as liens on the respective parcels of land and ultimately placed on the next regular tax bill for collection. FISCAL IMPACT: By using the property tax bill as the ultimate collection method for delinquent solid waste service charges, approximately $279,000 was collected in FY 04-05. The same amount is estimated for FY05-06. These funds are forwarded to Pacific Waste Services less the city's Franchise Fees, AB939 fees and late charges. The city should realize an estimated $22,000 in Franchise Fees, $5,500 in AB939 fees, and $165,000 in late charges for FY05-06. 8-3 RESOLUTION NO. 2006- RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA ASSESSING DELINQUENT SOLID WASTE SERVICE CHARGES AS RECORDED LIENS UPON THE RESPECTIVE PARCELS OF LAND (GROUP "A") AND APPROVING PLACEMENT OF DELINQUENT CHARGES ON THE NEXT REGULAR TAX BILL WHEREAS, the City of Chula Vista (the "City") has identified numerous properties within the City that have received solid waste service but are over 90-days delinquent in paying for this service; and WHEREAS, Chula Vista Municipal Code Section 8.24 allows delinquent solid waste service charges to be assessed as liens upon the affected properties and ultimately placed on the property tax bills for collection; and WHEREAS, the City has prepared a list identifying the properties for which solid waste service payments are delinquent and a copy of that list is on me and has been provided and approved by the City Council; and WHEREAS, adoption of this resolution will enhance the collection process for delinquent solid waste service charges by reducing the amount of uncollectible losses and ensure that payment will be received on a more timely basis; and WHEREAS, Section 8.24 authorizes the City Council to hold a public hearing to consider the delinquency of solid waste service accounts, together with any objections or protests by interested persons; and WHEREAS, the City Council held such a public hearing on Aprilll, 2006, and the affected property owners were properly notified of the hearing; and WHEREAS, after holding that public hearing, the City Council approved the list of delinquent solid waste service accounts on me with the City Clerk and determined that these charges should be forwarded to the County, assessed as liens on the respective owner-occupied parcels of land and ultimately placed on the next regular tax bill for collection.

SUBMITTED BY: Acting Direct@.ofEngineering* Police Chief ~ City Manager f{ ~ p g (4/Sths Vote: Yes _X_ No-.J REVIEWED BY: At its meeting of October 25, 2005, the City Council directed staff to investigate ways to enhance pedestrian safety at the intersection of East H Street and Otay Lakes Road. Per Council direction, a preliminary Action Plan was provided within 30 days in a November 22, 2005 Information Item to Council. The Action Plan is based on input from speakers at City Council meetings, suggestions from residents received since the accident involving a pedestrian fatality and ideas generated by students who have participated in meetings on this topic since November 2005. This Agenda Statement summarizes the status of the items included in the November Action Plan. In addition, tonight Council will consider establishing a new Capital Improvement Project, "Median Fence Installation along Otay Lakes Road and East H Street" (TF-342) and approving a budget transfer in the amount of $50,000 from the existing "Noise Study for Properties in the Vicinity of the I-80S Corridor" (STM-353) necessary for funding the construction of this median fence. In addition, Council will consider accepting bids, awarding the contract, and approving the form of the contract with San Diego Fence Company, Inc. for constructing this median fence. RECOMMENDATION: That Council: 1. Accept the Report on the Status of the Pedestrian Safety Action Plan at East H Street and Otay Lakes. 2. Approve the establishment of the "Median Fence Installation along Otay Lakes Road and East H Street" (TF-342) Capital Improvement Project and approve a budget transfer from 9-1 a Page 2, Item ----L- Meeting Date 04/11/06 . the existing "Noise Study for Properties in the Vicinity of the I-80S Corridor" (STM-353) necessary to complete the project. 3. Accept bids, award a contract, and approve the fonn of the contract for the "Median Fence Installation along Otay Lakes Road and East H Street" (TF-342) with San Diego Fence Company. BOARDS/COMMISSION: Not applicable. DISCUSSION: The following discussion presents the proposed actions as outlined in the staffreport provided to Council on November 22, 2005 (see Attachment I). The status of the proposed actions is presented below each action item in italics. Short-term (iI;nmediate to within three months): . The Chula Vista Police Department (CVPD) will increase random enforcement in the area especially at peak hours. CVPD will provide data to the Engineering Department, which will work with the school, and the City's Office of Communications to attempt to publicize enforcement activity and results. 1. Police staff conducted a roving traffic enforcement around the entire area of Bonita High School to increase public awareness of pedestrian and vehicular traffic safety. Thirteen citations and one written warning were issued. Six of the citations were pedestrian violations. Five were for red light violators and two for speeding. The Police Department plans to conduct several other traffic enforcement days as time permits. 2. Sergeant Juan Cervantes's staff (Chula Vista Police Department) is preparing an educational video to heighten student awareness about the dangers of jaywalking and the penalties for violating the law. 3. The Police Department will provide Bonita Vista High school with monthly statistics of violators, which the students can incorporate into the daily announcement and student newspaper. . Pedestrian push button sign upgrades and pedestrian indication count-down timers will be installed so that pedestrians have a sense oftime remaining for street crossing. 1. Push buttons and pedestrian indication countdown timers were installed in December 2005. . . Additional mid-block pedestrian barriers will be installed at those locations where jaywalking is occurring in an attempt to discourage the behavior. 1. Additional mid-block pedestrian barriers were installed in December 2005 at selected locations where jaywalking is occurring. . . The Engineering Department will begin stakeholder discussions regarding the possibility of installing median fencing in the area to discourage jaywalking. 1. As permitted by the City of Chula Vista Charter Section 1009 ("Contracts on Public Works ''), the Engineering Department requested bids from three reputable contractors (specializing in this type of installation) without formal 9-2 Page 3, Item 3- Meeting Date 04/11106 advertisement, since the project cost was estimated to be below $50,000. The scope of work included the installation of median fences along Otay Lakes Road between Canyon Drive and Ridgeback Road and East H Street between Otay Lakes Road and Baron Place. The fences will be green color vinyl coated chain link that will blend better with the existing median landscaping. Attachment 2 shows the locations, lengths, and heights of the proposed fences. Following are the three bids submitted for the subject project. American Fence South Bay San Diego Fence Company Fence Inc. Company Bid Amount $69,986.00 $51,171.65 $43,719.91 'Based on these bid results, staff recommends awarding this contract to San Diego Fence Company in the amount of $43, 719.91. It should be noted that tonight Council would only be approving the form of the contract with San Diego Fence Company. The proposed resolution authorizes the Mayor to approve the final form and to execute such document on behalf of the City following review by and consultation with the City Attorney and Director of Engineering. Tonight, Council is also considering authorizing the transfer of $50,000 of the remaining balance of CIP Project STM-353 ("Noise Study for Properties in the Vicinity of the 1-805 Corridor") for fUnding the installation of this median fence. Ofthis amount, $43,719.01 will cover the contractor's cost, while the remaining $6,280.09 will be used to cover contingencies and staff costs. A new CIP Project, TF-342 " Median Fence along Otay Lakes Road and East H Street" has been established in order to proceed with the proposed fencing project. In FY 2004/2005, $75,000 was budgeted in STM-353 in order to perform sound wall studies in the 1-805 corridor area. The current Direct Access Ramp (DAR) Project being administered by CALTRANS and SANDAG provides for all technical studies required for this regional project (including sound wall studies); therefore, $50,000 of the originally allocated funding can be diverted to this higher priority at this time. Disclosure Statement: The Contractor's Disclosure Statement is provided as Attachment 3. Environmental Status: The Environmental Review Coordinator has reviewed the proposed project for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the project qualifies for a Class 1 categorical exemption pursuant to Section 15301 of the State CEQA Guidelines. Thus, no further environmental review is necessary. Conflict of Interest: None of the Council members owns a property within 500' of 9-3 Page 4, Item ~ Meeting Date 04/11106 the subject project. . The Engineering Department will investigate the possibilities with CVPD and the school to "stack" enforcement related to jaywalking. Per student recommendation, CVPD would contact the parents of students cited for jaywalking and the school would impose suspension for repeated violations. Preliminarily, it should be noted that this approach would require identification of additional funding and personnel for CVPD due to the significant resource requirement and has yet to be discussed with the school. 1. Staff met with Cesar Canizales, SUHSD Student Services Safe-School/Truancy Department Program Manager, and Sergeant Juan Cervantes to discuss an educational outreach program and to detail an educational notice that will be sent out to parents to inform them of the dangers of jaywalking and legal penalties of doing so. . Consideration of public input and a signage and striping review of the area will be complete by early calendar year 2006. All approaches will be reevaluated for increased signage, including signs that state the fine for jaywalking and vehicles blocking the intersection. 1. Consideration of public input and a signage and striping review of the area was completed by early 2006. All approaches have been reevaluated for increased signage, including signs for jaywalking and vehicles blocking the intersection. A total of 11 "DO NOT BLOCK INTERSECTiON" signs have been installed at all approaches to the subject intersection, the intersection of Otay Lakes Road and Bonita Pointe Plaza, and the intersection of East H Street and Baron Place. . Installation of flashing beacons, revised "25mph When Children Present" signs in lime green (per student suggestion), if possible, will be discussed with school administration for possible installation within the next four to 18 months depending on cost and complexity. 1. Several "25 mph When Children Present" signs have been already added. 2. Staff is gathering cost information for installing hardwired flashing beacons as . part of the approved CIP Project STM-355 "Otay Lakes Road Widening, East H to Canyon Drive. " Mid-Term (three months to within one year): . Given the public input regarding vehicle red light infractions, this intersection will be evaluated as a pilot location for installation of a red light camera. City staff is working with other agencies that have red light cameras to gain information on the benefits, drawbacks, and costs. 1. The Police and Engineering Departments are jointly researching and interviewing several red light camera enforcement consultants to determine the feasibility of installing these systems within our City. Research thus far indicates that these systems have evolved over the recent years to better protect the public agency from the negative fiscal and legal impacts that had previously caused these systems to be publicly and politically criticized. Upon completion of staff's research, a report will be presented to Council with staff's recommendation 9-4 Page 5, Item C; Meeting Date 04Ji1'/06 regarding installing red light camera systems in the City, including associated estimated costs. Staff anticipates returning to Council with a recommendation within the next two months. . The Engineering Department will work with the Police Department, School District, Local Merchants and the City's Grants Development Manager to investigate funding opportunities for increased enforcement and engineering projects (e.g., pedestrian bridges, traffic roundabout, etc.). 1. This action item will be pursued once specific, larger scale recommendations have been identified through the consultant work noted below. Additionally, it is our understanding that Congressman Filner's Office is seeking to appropriate funding that could be used for future safety enhancements in this area. · A consultant will be secured to evaluate several of the longer-term options that address both pedestrian safety and traffic calming including pedestrian bridge(s), traffic roundabout (for traffic calming), intersection realignment, and/or other design elements. Upon completion, recommendations and funding implications will be presented to the City Council for consideration. 1. Staff has completed a request for proposal (RFP) for hiring a civil engineering consultant and plans to utilize the As-Needed list approved by Council at its March 7, 2006 Council Meeting assuming there is a consultant with this specific area of expertise. · The Engineering Department will provide support to the school (if desired) to revise parking lot design induding pedestrian drop offi'pick up issues to address student concerns. 1. School Officials have indicated a preliminary interest in securing the support of the Engineering Departmentfor parking lot design. · Although not included in the November Action Plan, based on student and resident input, all approaches to the intersection will be studied for modification to a "No Turn on Red" during school hours. Long-Term (more than one year): · Possible construction changes potentially induding pedestrian bridge(s), traffic roundabout, intersection realignment, and/or other design elements. It should be noted that enhancements of this type would be the most complicated and most costly thus requiring the identification of additional funding sources. 1. At the conclusion of the consultant study, recommendations on possible construction changes to the intersection, potentially including pedestrian bridge(s), traffic roundabout, intersection realignment, and/or other design elements, will be brought forward to Council. It should be noted that enhancements of this type could impact service level thresholds; the consultant's work will include an attempt to quantify any service level reductions so that these impacts can be considered as part of any recommended changes. The Otay Lakes 9-5 Page 6, Item l Meeting Date 04/11/06 Street widening project does not impact the subject intersection, only the approaches within several hundred feet of the intersection. FISCAL IMPACT: Approval of the proposed resolution will transfer $50,000 from STM-353 (sound wall study) to TF-342 (median fencing). The current balance in STM-353 is sufficient to allow this transfer. Please note that another item on tonight's agenda proposes transferring $50,000 from the remaining balance in STM-353 (sound wall study) to CIP Project TF-343 in order to fund the installation of a streetlight at the southwest comer of Brandywine A venue and Ingram Street. An information item provided with this week's Council Agenda packet provides additional background on STM-353, "Noise Study for Properties in the Vicinity of the 1-805 Corridor Project." In addition, staff is proceeding with utilizing the As-Needed consultant list to select a consultant for studying the feasibility of major improvements at the subject intersection (i.e., pedestrian bridge, traffic roundabout, etc.). The fiscal impact for conducting this study is estimated at $100,000 ($75,000 for consultant and $ 25,000 for staff cost), with funding yet to be identified.

Rowlands, Jr., City Manager 11 ~ 7R FROM: Alex Al-Agha, City Engineer ~ () Chief Richard P. Emerson, Chula Vista Police Departmen~ SUBJECT: Pedestrian Safety at East H Street and Otay Lakes ~oad At its meeting of October 25,2005, the City Council directed staff to investigate ways to increase pedestrian safety at the intersection of East H Street and Otay Lakes Road due to the tragedy of a high-school-aged pedestrian fatality that occurred the day before. This accident involved a pedestrian northbound across the east leg of the intersection and a westbound vehicle in the westbound through lane. Preliminary accident investigation info=ation indicates that the student may have crossed against the light and that vehicle speed was not a factor (see Attachment 1). This memorandum provides general background info=ation, as well as a range of possible short- term, mid-te= and long-te= enhancements. Many of the potential enhanc=ents were provided by speakers at the October 25,2005 City Council meeting and concerned residents who called in with suggestions, but they are primarily the result of dialogue with Bonita Vista High School students who have thus far met with staff on November 9,2005 and on November 18,2005 to share their observations, experiences and ideas. Backe:round The East H Street and Otay Lakes Road intersection is fronted with Bonita Vista High School on the northeast comer, shopping centers on the southeast and northwest comers and an undeveloped parcel owned by Southwestern College in the southwest comer (see Attachment 2). The intersection was originally signalized in 1980 and all legs of the intersection have yellow crosswalks designating the area as a school zone. The most current intersection data shows entering vehicle volumes of about 61,900 per day (fifth highest citywide compared to a high of69,900 vehicles entering East H Street and Hidden Vista Drive). Data regarding pedestrian use show peak hours being about 7:00 a.m. and 3 :00 p.m. at all crossing points in the area ranging fi'om a high of 497 pedestrians at 3 :00 p.m. in the area to a low of22 at 5:00 p.m. (see Attachment 3). As traffic and pedestrian use has increased over the years, there has been an increase in the overall number of vehicle accidents. This intersection ranked 24th overall for vehicle incidents involving 9-7 Honorable Mayor and City Council East H Street and Otay Lakes Road November 21,2005 Page 2 of4 -injuries-ih~004. - Since 1998, there have been three reported pedestrian involved accidents (2002, 2003, 2004) with no visible injuries resulting. Two' of the three pedestrian accidents were attributed to pedestrian violations. In 2000, there was one reported bicycle-involved accident (2000) with the bicyclist showing no visible injuries. The average vehicle accident rate for the last three-years at this intersection is 0.428 accidents per million vehicles entering the intersection and is just lower than the statewide average of 0.43 for urban areas. (Accident rates are calculated as three-year averages to permit like comparison to the state average, which uses a three-year approach). This intersection is regularly evaluated for safety and has received several upgrades and modifications over the years to address these issues. The most recent major upgrade, in 2002, included upgrading the complicated signal timing system to allow it to "adapt" automatically to fluctuations in traffic at this location. Discussion and Possible Enhancements The East H Street and Otay Lakes Road intersection currently meets engineering standards and, as noted above, the average vehicle accident rate is just lower than the statewide average for urban areas. Therefore, implementation of any additional ideas would represent enhancements above standard engineering approaches. The following list of possible enhancements includes input trom speakers at the October 25, 2005 City Council meeting, suggestions trom callers received since the accident and ideas generated by students who participated in a meeting on November 9,2005 (see Attachment 4). Overall, the most popular suggestions were: 1. Significantly increased enforcement activity targeted at both vehicles violating speed and red ligbt laws, as well as jaywalking; using the school newspaper and Union-Tribune, if possible, to advertise increased enforcement efforts and results; 2. Revised signage including flashing beacons placed well in advance of entering the high stimulus intersection area; and 3. Construct pedestrian bridges providing the most convenient access to the locations students are trying to get to (i.e., restaurants). The following outlines poten~al enhancements according to broadly estimated timetrames: Short-term (immediate to within three months): . The Chula Vista Police Department (CVPD) will increase random enforcement in the area especially at peak hours. CVPD will provide data to the Engineering Department, which will work with the school, and the City's Office of Co=unications to attempt to publicize enforcement activity and results. . 9-8 Honorable Mayor and City Council East H Street and Otay Lakes Road Nov=ber 21, 2005 Page30f4 . Pedestrian push button sign upgrades and pedestrian indication count-down timers will be installed so that pedestrians have a sense of time remaining for street crossing. . Additional mid-block pedestrian barriers will be installed at those locations where jaywalking is occurring in an attempt to discourage the behavior. . The Engineering Department will begin stakeholder discussions regarding the possibility of installing median fencing in the area to discourage jaywalking. · The Engineering Department will investigate the possibilities with CVPD and the school to "stack" enforcement related to jaywalking. Per student recommendation, CVPD would contact the parents of students cited for jaywalking and the school would impose suspension for repeated violations. Preliminarily, it should be noted that this approach would require identification of additional funding and personnel for CVPD due to the significant resource requirement and has yet to be discussed with the school. . Consideration of public input and a signage and striping review of the area will be complete by early calendar year 2006. All approaches will be reevaluated for increased signage, including signs that state the fine for jaywalking and vehicles blocking the intersection. . Installation of flashing beacons, revised "25mph When Children Present" signs in lime green (per student suggestion), if possible, will be discussed with school administration for possible installation within the next four to 18 months depending on cost and complexity Mid-Term (three months to within one year): · Given the public input regarding vehicle red light infi:actions, this intersection wilr' be evaluated as a pilot location for installation of a red light camera.

It should be noted that enhanc=ents of this type would be the most complicated and most costly thus requiring the identification of additional funding sources. 9-9 Honorable Mayor and City Council East H Street and Otay Lakes Road November 21, 2005 Page 4 of 4 Related Next Steps The City Council appropriated $140,000 in the FY2006/2007 annual budget for the creation of a Neighborhood (Traffic) Safety Program (NTSP). The intent of the program is to emphasize the three "E's" of traffic safety (Education, Engineering and Enforcement) to accomplish the following: . 1. Reduce the number of collisions within intersections; 2. Improve pedestrian safety and vehicular circulation adjacent to schools; and, 3. Improve pedestrian safety and vehicular circulation adjacent to schools. Approximately 67 of the total 1,6501 reported motor vehicle involved collisions in the city in 2004 involved pedestrians. About 34%, or 23 of the 67 a total of pedestrian involved accidents, were attributed to pedestrian violations. About 46%, or 31 of the 67 pedestrian involved accidents, involved pedestrians 19 years or younger. This statistic reinforces the importance of pedestrian education and outreach, especially for those 19 years old and younger. Staff is currently researching best-in-class programs and designing a preliminary framework for an NTSP customized to address our City's unique characteristics and needs. Initial indications. are that Chula Vista's program will be unique in that it will broaden the traditional scope of an NTSP, which typically focuses on tightly defined, residential areas, to include high volume co=ercial-type areas. Stafflooks forward to bringing NTSP program recommendations forward in the summer of2006. Attachments: 1. San Diego Union-Tribune Article dated November 16, 2005 2. Aerial Plat 3.

The worst time begins about 6:45 a.m. with the push to get to first period. There is a significant peak-just three minutes can make a huge difference. . Vehicles run red lights. . Cars block the intersection because have attempted to make the green light a missed it, so lines of stopped traffic overflow into the intersection. . Cars try to push into the turn lanes; particularly bad turning right onto Otay Lakes (north) from H where the three lanes drop down to two lanes. Also bad where cars turn right (east) onto H from Otay Lakes where three lanes drop to two. Have lots of cars doing a U-turn on Otay Lakes South to go North to get into school's south parking lot combined with all the cars turning right from H onto Otay Lakes (North) to go to the school's parking lots. · Cars trying to U-Turn on Otay Lakes Road North, vehicles with a red light for right hand turn from H onto Otay Lakes Road North don't look or wait and run into U-Turners. . Cars also overflow into the intersection from all directions where they have tried to get through the green/yellow left turn arrows and gotten caught. . All the overflowing cars causes a problem because the students get the ped lights saying go, but can't get through the cars. . Cars turning right (west) from Otay Lakes onto H do not stop at the limit line and block the crosswalk. . Light timing at Baron Way doesn't change for people waiting to turn left into the parking lot from H or for people leaving the parking lot trying to turn left onto H. . At comers where three lanes go to two, vehicles will floor it before the lane runs out to try to get in front of a slower moving vehicle in the lane next to them. Student Drop-Off Issues . Cars dropping off students don't go far enough forward in either the South or North lots creates vehicle overflow into Otay Lakes. Pedestrian Issues . Student jaywalking is a significant issue. They jaywalk both for convenience (closer way to get to where they want to go and/or don't want to suffer through the long wait at the signal) and/or because it's fun. . Some try to get a head start off the curb before the walking hand comes up. . Near Blockbuster the hand changes when going toward soccer field, but hand going toward canyon doesn't change. . Can't even step off the curb when cross from school to Carl's Jr. (W on East H) before Hand starts flashing. Afraid can't get across before light turnS. 9-15 Parking Lot Issues · When trying to exit out of south parking lot (Baron Way) onto H, parking lot design creates chaos. Like eight lanes merging into one = parking lot chaos. . Large student lot (NE) closed for construction, heightens issues at South parking lot. Only see about two construction vehicles using the closed lot, can it be reopened? · The speed bumps in the south parking lot are really high; car bottoms out no matter how slow going. · The gate pole in the parking lot when turning right onto H form Baron gets hit frequently due to poor placement. · Directional arrows in the south parking lot need repainting. . Suggested Solutions . Enforcement is the number one suggestion both on vehicles and pedestrians. . Use "stacked" enforcement, where jaywalkers' parent(s) are contacted by the Police Department and the school suspends repeat offenders. · Include amount of fine on signs. . Put."No Turn on Red" signs (include fine amount) for right tumers (especially H west onto Otay Lakes north and Otay Lakes north onto H east). . Add no blocking intersection signs including fine amount. · Use school announcement system; school newspaper and parent newsletter to inform that more frequent random enforc=ent program is starting. . Get newspaper (U- T) to run story on results of random enforcement (how many jaywalking tickets, traffic tickets, etc.) . Check into children's book "Jay the Jaywalker"-maybe able to do something fun with that. · This is a really high stimulus intersection (lots of traffic signs, lights, co=erciallschool signage, cars, pedestrians, etc.). Look at cleaning up/stre"m1ining so that important info is easier to pick out. · Suggest flashing beacons with 25 mph when children present signs in lime green.

COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT Item J D Meeting Date 4/11/06 ITEM TITLE: Report on the City's Graffiti Abatement Program Resolution Amending the FY 06 budget by appropriating $63,000 from the available balance of the Fleet Management Fund to purchase equipment Director of Public Works Operations -1 /,1 City Manager 'j/ ~>1. JlR (4/5 Vote: Yes-X- No-> On March 1, 2005, Council approved modifications to the graffiti ordinance to address the growing problem of graffiti on public and private property by reducing the amount of time within which graffiti must be removed. Staff is now returning to Council with a status report on the new graffiti program, which identifies issues and/or successes the program has experienced since implementation. SUBMITTED BY: REVIEWED BY: RECOMMENDATION: That Council: 1) Accept the report on the City's Graffiti Abatement Program 2) Adopt the Resolution amending the FY 06 budget by appropriating $63,000 from the available balance of the Fleet Management Fund to purchase equipment BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: N/A DISCUSSION: Background. The graffiti abatement program was previously a collaborative effort by Planning and Building, Police, and Public Works Operations and was coordinated by the Police Department. However, since graffiti continued to be an issue throughout the city, oversight of the graffiti abatement program was shifted totally under Public Works Operations. Code Enforcement and Police continue to be involved as is appropriate. The graffiti abatement program is now designed to take the sting out of being a victim by providing a cost free process for graffiti removal for residents and businesses of the City of Chula Vista. The program's mission is: 10-1 Page 2, Item ! 0 Meeting Date 4/11/06 "To deliver, in a timely manner, a comprehensive, cost-effective, environmentally sound, and technically reliable graffiti removal, education, and prevention program for the residents of the City of Chula Vista". Graffiti Abatement Proeram. Previously, a responsible party had seven days to remove graffiti. If still present after that time period, the City could enter onto a person's property and remove graffiti after holding a hearing and waiting five days. As a result, it took at least two weeks, and in most cases three to four weeks, to remove graffiti from a property when the owner chose not to or was unable to abate the nuisance. To correct this problem, Council approved an ordinance amendment on March I, 2005, that gave City crews the authority to remove graffiti on private property 48 hours after the property owner is notified; thereby ensuring that the nuisance is abated in a more timely manner. Rapid removal is key to any graffiti abatement program. When graffiti is allowed to remain on a property and it is not promptly removed, it invites even more markings and criminal activity, creating an atmosphere that deteriorates the City's quality of life and fosters a general fear of crime. The majority of those individuals who paint graffiti seek notoriety and recognition of their graffiti as they attach status to having their work seen. Thus, prolonged visibility due to the sheer volume, scale and complexity of the graffiti, and placement of the graffiti in hard-to-reach places, enhance the person's satisfaction. Research consistently demonstrates that prompt graffiti removal plays a key role in reducing graffiti levels because it diminishes the level of recognition and reward achieved by offenders. In order to accommodate the change in the City's ordinance requiring that graffiti on private property be removed by City crews and along the right of way within two days of notification, Council approved a second two-person graffiti crew, a Senior Public Works Specialist, and a Graffiti Paint-Matching Vehicle. The total ongoing cost for this staff and services & supplies is $176,432 annually. . Since January of 2006, staff has met the 48-hour guideline 96 percent of the time. Prior to January, due to limitations in the Work Management System (WMS), staff did not appropriately track when consent was obtained from property owners. As a result, work orders were created for all graffiti requests even though consent may not have been granted. Consequently, crews were sent to certain addresses (without consent) and had to return at a latter date after consent was obtained, thereby skewing the data. However, staff has since adjusted the WMS to help correct this issue and will continue to track the consent process to ensure graffiti is eradicated (after receiving consent) within 48 hours. Changes to the graffiti ordinance have been in place for approximately a year. Provided below are some issues and successes that have arisen during the first year of the program. 10-2 Page 3, Item /0 Meeting Date 4/11/06 Keeping Property Owner Waivers on File. The goal of the graffiti abatement program is to get permission from residents and businesses to allow City crews to remove graffiti on their property "at no cost" to them so that they won't be inconvenienced with removing graffiti themselves. As soon as graffiti is reported, the City requests that the property owner sign a consent form that allows City crews to remove it. Once that permission is granted, a City crew is dispatched to remove or paint over graffiti within 48 hours. Some delays to remove graffiti on private property occurred in the beginning of the new program because of delays in obtaining signed waivers from property owners. To expedite obtaining consent, staff attaches a self-addressed envelope to each form. Furthermore, staff picks up forms when called by property owners. The City's website has also been modified to provide individuals with a quick and easy way to download the consent form. Based on these adjustments, consent is usually provided in a timely manner, thereby allowing crews to meet the 48-hour guideline. These consent forms remain on file, and should vandals strike again, the department takes immediate action. To-date, over 300 consent forms have been signed and are on file. Of course, if a property owner prefers to remove graffiti on their own, they have that option as long as the graffiti is eradicated within 48 hours. The Public Works Operations Department is committed to providing free removal or painting over graffiti as swift removal is the most effective way of combating this very serious problem. Graffiti Hot Line. Residents and businesses can report graffiti or request assistance with graffiti removal through the 24-hour Graffiti Hotline. However, some delays to remove graffiti occurred in the beginning of the new program because some reports received (by voice mail) via the hotline, did not include a valid address/location and did not provide enough information for staff to "fmd" the graffiti. Consequently, the graffiti hotline voice mail's message was modified to prompt the caller to: I) leave the address where the graffiti is located; 2) provide a description of the surface the graffiti is located on (such as a curb, fence, sign, or utility box); 3) callers reporting graffiti on curbs and sidewalks are asked to indicate whether graffiti is on the north, south, east, or west side of the street; and 4) asks for a name and daytime phone number of the person reporting graffiti, so that staff can contact the person if additional information is needed. Prior to these modifications, six messages resulted in individuals not providing enough information. Since implementation of the new program, a total of 150 calls reporting graffiti were left via the hot line. Graffiti on commercial property. Some commercial buildings have large visible wall areas, which represent tempting targets for taggers. Some delays to remove graffiti on commercial property occurred in the beginning of the new program because some graffiti was placed over 12 feet high on certain buildings, thereby requiring a lift or bucket truck normally utilized by a tree crew, traffic signal crew and/or 10-3 Page 4, Item 10 Meeting Date 4/11706 electrician. Previously, crews tried to obtain a lift or bucket truck the same day they planned to remove the graffiti. However, by reserving the necessary equipment from General Services, Engineering and/or Public Works Operations a day or two after receiving notice, crews complete graffiti removal above first-story levels within the 48-hour guideline. Non-Storm Water Discharge Recovery Equipment. The Regional Water Quality Control Board prohibits the discharge of non-storm water into the storm drain system. As a result, all non-storm water must be captured before reaching storm drainage systems and then properly disposed. Public Works: Operations currently operates two pressure washers for the graffiti abatement program. Graffiti placed on surfaces such as curbs, sidewalks, and streetlight poles require removal by pressure washing. Staff currently utilizes an l800-watt generator and a l6-gallon vacuum when pressure washing in order to recover water run-off to prevent it from entering the storm drain system. A crew is currently able to pressure wash an area for only four minutes before the vacuum, which recovers water, reaches full capacity. After which, a crew must stop pressure washing in order to dispose of the captured water. After disposing of the water, the crew returns to the job site and continues pressure washing until the vacuum is full again. This process is repeated until the graffiti has been eradicated. As a result, removing large areas of graffiti by pressure washing is currently a very time-consuming process. Therefore, to ensure that the graffiti abatement program is environmentally safe and is in compliance with Regional Water Quality Control Board regulations, staff recommends purchasing a flatbed truck outfitted with a pressure washing system that will reclaim, filter, and reuse water at a cost of$57,000. This equipment will replace the existing truck and enable crews to complete graffiti requests more quickly by utilizing a system that allows pressure washing without limitations (since the runoff water is recycled). Purchasing this equipment will also help ensure that graffiti continues to be removed within the 48-hour guideline. In addition, staff proposes to retrofit an existing trailer-mounted pressure washer with recovery equipment at a cost of $6,000. If the existing truck is not replaced, crews will have to stop pressure washing due to environmental regulations, which will impact crews meeting the 48-hour graffiti removal guideline. Graffiti Eradication Van. To enhance the City's graffiti abatement program, Council approved a graffiti eradication van. The van will gives the graffiti crews the ability to match paint colors on the scene. Graffiti crews currently covers graffiti with available colors that do not always match the existing wall or object color. The new equipment allows for color matching so precise that the graffiti will be virtua1ly undetectable. Once the crew creates a custom color to cover graffiti at a particular site, staff then has the option to leave a gallon of this custom paint with the property owner to use in case of reoccurrence. The van is now anticipated to arrive in mid-May. 10-4 Page 5, Item I(] Meeting Date 4/11706 Provided is a summary of why the van's arrival has been delayed: . The Request for Proposal was sent in March of2005; . The bid was awarded to Dispensing Technology Corporation (DTC) in April of2005; . Production of the 2005 models ended in April of2005; . Production of the 2006 models didn't start until July of2005; . It took Ford Motor Company three months to build the chassis (August of2005); . Morgan Olson built the custom body for the van (according to City's specifications) and delivered it to DTC in December of2005; and . DTC has installed most of the necessary equipment; however, DTC doesn't anticipate receiving the custom cabinetry ordered for the van until April 12th, The graffiti abatement van will be an excellent addition to the services the City already offers in the fight against graffiti and promotes strong and safe neighborhoods. Pro\1:ram Information. Public Works Operations has received 1,232 reports of graffiti (from April 1, 2005 - February 28, 2006). The following is a breakdown of the property "type" on which graffiti was reported. It is anticipated that these types of graffiti will continue to be reported consistent with the data outlined in each category. Graph A: Graffiti Program Type of Report Received (4/1/05 .2/28/05) 400 350 300 250 200 150 100 50 o .!!1 c;; ;: ,.,U> - '" = x :;::: 0 "'.0 U> ox: c;; ;: '" " 'w U> '" " t: ~ U> .

Other facilities include curbs, streets, channels, streetlight poles, etc, 10-5 Page 6, Item /0 Meeting Date 4/ll706 Approximately three percent of the reports are "not found". This means the address given is not correct, the graffiti is not found upon inspection (may already have been removed), or the property identified as having graffiti (i.e. primarily fences) is not found at or near the address provided. Only four property owners (residential) throughout the city paint or remove their own graffiti. Large commercial buildings such as Costco, Wal-Mart, and Target also remove their own graffiti. Over 29 percent or 360 reports were for graffiti on walls, which represents the highest percentage of calls. As indicated above, the department has received 181 reports of graffiti on utility boxes. However, analysis of the data revealed that 971 utility boxes were eradicated. This data indicates that crews are removing graffiti "as they see it" as opposed to waiting for someone to report it. San Diego Gas & Electric, and Cox Cable currently have active graffiti removal programs. SBC currently provides the department with paint to complete graffiti eradication on their utility boxes. A total of 758 utility boxes were painted for SBC. Since the new program was implemented, Public Works Operations has completed 580,903 square feet of graffiti eradiation throughout the city. The data collected reveals that 52% of graffiti reported, occurred on private property (residential and commercial). Provided below is a breakdown of the square feet by property-type based on overall percentages. Graph B: Graffiti Eradication 580,903 Square Feet (411/05 - 2/28/06) commercial (large) 9% commercial (small) 3% residential 40% __ public facilities 48% 10-6 Page 7, Item IC Meeting Date 4/11/06 Approximately 40 percent or 229,866 square feet of graffiti was eradicated at residences through out the city at a cost of approximately $56,400. A total of 12 percent or 69,211 square feet of graffiti was eradicated on commercial property citywide at a cost of approximately $22,300 (includes utility boxes). A total of 48 percent or 281,826 square feet of graffiti was eradicated from City property and rights of way at a cost of approximately $124,600. Since implementation, the new program has cost approximately $203,300 for graffiti eradication citywide. Routing and Scheduling Issue. Routing and scheduling of crews and vehicles is a necessary yet time-consuming task vital to the day-to-day operation of graffiti eradication. Currently this task is completed manually. However, due to the continued growth of the city, the Department must be open and ready to best use appropriate technologies in order to be more efficient and effective in deploying departmental staff and equipment. Therefore, staff recommends the purchase of ArcLogistics Route software. This software is a stand-alone end user application designed to solve complex, point-to-point routing and scheduling problems, enabling users to create and manage sets of routes. The ArcLogistics Route software will allow Public Works Operations to: . Improve graffiti removal services throughout the community through efficient routing; . Promptly respond to work orders, thereby ensuring graffiti is abated within 48 hours of notification; . Increase the number of graffiti removal stops daily; and . Create more efficient route territories or areas with balanced workloads for crews. The total cost for purchase and implementation of the ArcLogistics Route software is $10,000. Training, setup, and integration are included in this amount. The software will be used on a trial basis by the department. If the software works as well as expected, staff plans to purchase a license for street maintenance crews to assist with pothole repair. Each license costs $6,000 (no discount is available with the purchase of multiple licenses). Public Education Campaigns. The new program was advertised in the "Spring of 2005" edition of the Spotlight and in the San Diego Union-Tribute. Staff plans to conduct a number of pubic outreach campaigns to educate students and the general public about the negative effects of graffiti and the importance of their prevention and quick removal. 10-7 Page 8, Item I': Meeting Date 4/1 1/06 FISCAL IMPACT: The total impact to the Fleet Management Fund for the purchase of a flatbed truck, outfitted with a pressure washing system, and to retrofit an existing trailer-mounted pressure washer with recovery equipment, is $63,000 (a one-time cost). The impact to the General Fund will be $9,500 annually for equipment maintenance and replacement costs. The purchase and implementation of the ArcLogistics Route software will cost $10,000. Training, setup, and integration are included in this amount. This cost will be absorbed in the current year's budget.
