payment of criminal legal fees, the City was not required to pay the fees, and that the Elections

City Manager Garcia introduced the item, and Senior Project Coordinator Kurz presented the
proposed conceptual plan by the 'YMCA and South Bay Community Services (SBCS), for
amenity improvements and affordable housing development at Eucalyptus Park.
Kathryn Lembo, San Diego resident, representing South Bay Community Services, talked about
ways to enhance Eucalyptus Park, create more useable park space, and work collaboratively with
the YMCA to expand the existing facility. She stated that SBCS would be looking for
community input on how to make the park safer and more effective, and ways to bring a better
YMCA facility to the location. Additionally, SBCS would be seeking financing options for the
park improvements.
Lisa Johnson, Chula Vista resident, representing the South Bay YMCA, thanked and applauded
staff for their creative thinking on the feasibility study, and for offering collaborative
_ opportunities between the City, YMCA and SBCS, including public outreach. She stated that a
study done two years ago indicated that the YMCA was deficient in providing services to the
community on the west side ofChula Vista.
Peter Watry, Chula Vista resident, commented on the disproportionate parkland acreage between
the east and the west side of the City, and spoke in opposition to a feasibility study to include
construction of affordable housing in Eucalyptus Park. He suggested that the existing empty
land east of the Kamplands of America (KOA) be dedicated as parkland as a way to increase
parkland in the west.
Councilmember Ramirez stated that he would not support construction of housing on parkland
space. He suggested that staff work with SBCS to seek alternative land space, stating that park
space must be preserved for future generations.

He spoke of the need to vet with the public, whether or not there was adequate existing
affordable housing in the west. He did not believe that placing housing on Eucalyptus Park
would address problems of crime and public safety in the park. He was supportive of exploring
ways to expand the YMCA in Eucalyptus Park.
Ms. Lembo clarified that it was not the plan by SBCS to build housing on parkland, but rather,
consideration of additional housing to be built on top of the YMCA. Ms. Johnson added that
part of the YMCA's vision was to establish a built-in workforce by providing work opportunities
for students in transitional housing.

and to seek ways to make it work before pulling the plug..
Councilmember Castaneda stated he could not support the proposed feasibility and conceptual
plan for the YMCA expansion and affordable housing in Eucalyptus Park without further vetting
between staff, the YMCA and SECS, and suggested that the item be brought back with a clearer

DEVELOPMENT AT EUCALYPTUS PARK
13. CONSIDERATION OF A REPORT ON PROJECTED REVENUE SHORTFALLS IN
THE DEVELOPMENT SERVICES HiND AND MEASURES BEING
IMPLEMENTED TO ADDRESS THE BUDGETARY IMPACTS
With the approval of the Fiscal Year 2008/2009 budget, City Council authorized the
creation of a stand-alone Development Services Fund comprised of staff from the
Departments of Planning & Building, Public Works and Engineering responsible for
planning, permitting, plan review, and inspection of development applications. As the
year-'end closing process has progressed, it has become apparent that despite deep cuts
made to the Development Services Fund as part of the Fiscal Year 2008/2009 budget,
development related workload and revenues are insufficient to support current staffing
and budget levels, As a result, in order to avoid further impacting General Fund reserves,
additional budget reductions are required. To reduce the number of layoffs, staff is also
recommending adding two Code Enforcement Officer positions to the General Fund
budget of the Planning & Building Department and filling the positions internally, The
cost of these positions would be fully offset by higher than anticipated revenues from the
residential abandoned property program, (Budget and Analysis Director)
City Manager Garcia introduced the item. Director of Budget and Analysis Van Eenoo
presented an overview of the status of the City's Development Services Fund, and explained that
development related workload and revenues were insufficient to support current staffing and
budget level, resulting in the need for additional budget reductions.
Richard Preuss, representing the Chula Vista Employees Association, explained the value of
supporting Resolution B for the addition of two code enforcement officers to the Planning and
Building Department. He also talked about past funding for Code Enforcement staff through the
City's Community Block Grant funds, and suggested looking at ways to re-institute the funding.
Mayor Cox stated that in light of the unkno\\;u impacts of the State on local governments, she
would support the proposed resolutions. Additionally, based upon the outcome of the State
budget, she spoke of the need to have Council and staff go back and reassess the organization in
a broad based manner.
Council member Castaneda suggested that in dO\\;TI times, expenditures of funds should be used
to promote and attract business to the City. To that end, he requested staff provide an analysis of
what other cities were doing. He referenced a memorandum from he and Councilmember
Ramirez dated September 9, 2008 regarding the budget shortfalls, and suggested further
discussions to address the issues outlined in the memorandum. To that end. Mavor Cox stated
that this item was not on the agenda, and could not be discussed at this time.' ~

Councilmember Ramirez was concerned that moving too hastily with adjustments would impact
City services as the economy improved. He spoke of a need to look at the organization as a
whole, eliminate car allowances, implement staff cross training, and place the previous budget
cut proposals back on the table.
Mayor Cox asked, and City Manager Garcia confirmed, that the reduction in the Development
Services counter service hours, or shifting of experts to the counter, would be re-assessed by
staff over the next 3-6 months to ensure efficiency in the department operations. He also
explained that it was unreasonable to hire enough employees to process major projects, and then
have to lay them off once those projects are complete.
Councilmember McCann expressed concern regarding reduced hours of operation at the
Development Services front counter, and encouraged the City Manager to implement the Six
Sigma training. Once Six Sigma is implemented, he requested a re-evaluation of the hours of

SUMMARY
On July 10,2008 City Council approved the Climate Change Program's implementation
plans for seven new measures to reduce Chula Vista's cit)'\vide greenhouse gas or
"carbon" emissions by lowering energy and water consumption, installing renewable
energy systems, promoting alternative fuel vehicles and designing pedestrian and transit-
friendly commlmities. Climate Change Program Measure #3's implementation plan
directs staff to create a new municipal ordinance that encourages businesses to participate
in a free energy and water assessment of their facilities. The proposed ordinance will
assist businesses with identifying opportunities to reduce their monthly utility costs
through a no-cost, voluntary assessment program, which will be integrated into the
business licensing process.

ENVIRO~MENT AL REVIEW
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 8 categorical exemption pursuant to
Section 15308 [Actions by Regulatory Agencies for Protection of the Environment] of
the State CEQA Guidelines. Thus, no further environmental review is necessary.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that City Council adopt the resolution.

Although no formal approvals were solicited, staff made presentations and received
feedback on Measure #3's initial implementation plan at the following municipal
commissions:
Board of Appeals & Advisors
Chula Vista Redevelopment Corporation
Design Review Committee
Redevelopment Advisory Committee
Planning Commission
Resource Conservation Commission
DISCUSSION
In 2007, the City Council directed staff to convene a Climate Change Working Group
(CCWG) to develop recommendations to reduce the community's greenhouse gas or
"carbon" emissions. The CCWG - comprised of residential, business and community-
group representatives - evaluated over 90 possible carbon-reducing actions, conducted
more than 30 publicly-noticed meetings, workshops and presentations, and ultimately
recommended seven measures to the City Council. On July 10, 2008 the Council
approved the implementation plans for the seven measures which focused on lowering
energy and water consumption, installing renewable energy systems, promoting
alternative fuel vehicles and designing pedestrian and :transit-friendly communities.
Measure #3 directs staff to develop an ordinance and implement a voluntary program that
encourages businesses to participate in an energy assessment of their facilities that will
assist them in lowering their monthly utility costs and consequently their contribution to
greenhouse gas emissions and climate change impacts. Energy assessments are on-site
evaluations to determine a business's energy use amount and timing. The assessments,
which typically require 30 - 60 minutes to perform, may include a review of a building's
systems (i.e. lighting, cooling and heating), envelope (i.e. exterior windows, doors and
insulation), office equipment, appliances, operational procedures and energy bills. With
the assessment's results, detailed strategies can be recommended to the business to help
reduce their energy consumption through voluntary energy efficiency upgrades and/or
energy-conserving operational changes. Assessments are also a key step in identifying
available incentives, rebates and low cost financing options that will reduce any potential
upfront costs for the business to implement the established energy and cost-saving
improvements. Preliminary water assessments are also conducted at the same time. The
California Energy Commission determined in 2005 that 19% of all energy consumed in
California is used to treat or transfer water and 35% of natural gas consumed is used to
treat, transfer or heat water. Water conservation cannot only contribute to reducing the
impact of our cyclical drought issues in the region; it can be a significant factor in
greenhouse gas reduction and reducing a business's monthly utility costs.

Page 3 of3
The proposed ordinance would codify voluntary business energy assessments by adding a
new section to Chula Vista Municipal Code Chapter 20.04 (Energy Conservation) and a
cross-reference to Chapter 5.02 (Business Licenses). The proposed ordinance
recommends that new businesses participate in the free energy assessment program when
their initial business license is issued, while existing businesses are encouraged to
participate once every three years when their license is renewed. The ordinance does not
prevent a business from requesting a free assessment from the City more frequently. The
voluntary assessments are recommended for businesses occupying a physical storefront
or office on a commercial energy meter.
While the proposed ordinance does not make energy assessments mandatory for
businesses, staff believes that the inclusion of the voluntary business assessment program
into the municipal code could increase program participation and expand the potential for
immediate carbon emissions reductions. Providing businesses with the opportunity and a
reminder to reassess every three years will ensure that they are provided the most current
information about new energy efficiency technologies (and related incentives) and have
the greatest opportunity to reduce their monthly energy and water costs. Furthermore,
integrating the assessment with the business licensing process provides an
administratively streamlined and cost effective approach to implementation and offers a
more reliable and customer-friendly service for participants.
DECISION MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has determined that the recommendations requmng Council action are not site
specific and consequently the 500 foot rule found ill California Code of Regulations
section 18704.2(a)(l) is not applicable to this decision.
FISCAL IMP ACT
The City, through the Department of Conservation & Environmental Services, currently
offers voluntary business energy assessments supported through a California Public
Utilities Commission (CPUC)/San Diego Gas &Electric (SDG&E) grant. Although the
current funding expires on December 31, 2008, staff has been notified by SDG&E that
funding for the assessment program, estimated at $321,400 annually, will continue
through December 31, 2011 (pending CPUC final approval). Therefore, there is no fiscal
impact to the General Fund or the participating businesses. While the CPUC/SDG&E
funds will fully offset the program's costs over the next three year period, staff is also
working to secure a long-term funding source for the business energy assessments and
the other six climate change measures as previously directed by City Council.

SUl\1lVL;ffi Y
In May 2007 staff reported to City Council that Chula Vista's citywide greenhouse gas emissions
had increased by 35% (mainly due to residential growth) from 1990 to 2005, while emissions on
a per capita basis and from municipal operations decreased by 17% and 18%, respectively. As a
result, the City Council directed staff to convene a Climate Change Working Group (CCWG) to
develop recommendations to reduce the community's greenhouse gas emissions or "carbon
footprint" in order to meet the City's 2010 greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets. The
CCWG - comprised of residential, business and community-group representatives - selected
seven measures which City Council adopted on April 1, 2008. This report outlines City staff's
strategy (summarized in Table 1) to implement the measures and includes an analysis of each
measure's funding needs, tlnancing options, timeline and performance criteria:

OVERVIEW
Since the early 1990s, Chula Vista has been engaged in multiple climate change forums
including the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, the ICLEI Cities for
Climate Protection campaign and the U.S. Conference of Mayor's Climate Protection Agreement
and has pledged to reduce its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions or "carbon footprint" 20% below
1990 levels by 2010. To accomplish this carbon reduction goal, the City adopted a Carbon
Dioxide (C02) Reduction Plan in 2000 which outlined steps for Chula Vista to reduce energy
consumption, promote alternative transportation and design transit-friendly, walkable
communities.
Recently, staff conducted a GHG emissions inventory for 2005 to evaluate the City's progress in
reaching its emissions goals. The 2005 inventory indicated that Chula Vista's annual citywide
GHG levels had increased by 35% since 1990 due primarily to residential growth. During the
same period, the City did make significant progress in reducing annual per capita emissions by
17% and avoiding nearly 200,000 tons of GHG emissions annually. In addition, GHG emissions
from municipal sources decreased by 18% mainly due to traffic signal energy-efficiency
improvements. As a result of the 2005 Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory Report, the City
Council directed staff to convene a Climate Change Working Group (CCWG) to develop
recommendations to reduce the community's greenhouse gas emissions or "carbon footprint" in
order to meet the City's 2010 greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets.
The CCWG - comprised of residential, business and community-group representatives -
reviewed over 90 possible carbon-reducing measures from July 2007 through March 2008. The
group evaluated these measures based on five primary criteria: I) the measure had been
previously implemented successfully by an ICLEI local government or California Climate
Action Registry business, 2) the measure would be financially feasible (i.e. require little or no
additional General Fund support), 3) the measure could be quickly implemented to have
immediate impact on the City's efforts to reduce emissions by 2010, 4) the measure's impacts
could be quantified using the City's emissions inventory protocol and 5) the measure would not
cause a significant adverse community impact. From this analysis, the CCWG selected seven
measures (see Table I) to recommend to City Council. Council adopted all the measures on
April 1, 2008.
This document outlines the City's general strategy for implementing the seven measures, for
financing their further design and implementation and for tracking the resulting emissions
reductions at municipal operations and citywide scales. In addition, each measure's specitic
implementation plan provides further clarification and includes the following sections:

MEASURE #1: HIGH EFFICIENCY OR ALTERNATIVE FUEL
REPLACEMENT VEHICLES FOR THE CITY FLEET
OVERVIEW
Recommendation #1 of the Climate Change Working Group states that the City Council should
"require that 100% of the replacement vehicles purchased for the municipal fleet be high
efficiency (hybrid) or alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs)." Factors such as the appropriateness for
the vehicle task, fueling infrastructure, petroleum displacement, and the overall cost and
environmental benefit must be considered in implementing this recommendation. Although the
initial costs for each replacement vehicle could be higher than a conventional replacement, fuel
savings may offset this initial price difference (ranging between $5,000 for small sedans to
$70,000 for heavy-duty trucks) over the vehicle's lifetime. Some alternative fuels may also be
less expensive than conventional fuels on a price per gallon and price per gasoline-gallon
equivalent.
There are many fuel alternatives available,' and each fuel or technology has pos!tlves and
negatives associated with it. For example, ethanol is more readily available commercially than
some other fuels, but ethanol requires more energy to produce it than it delivers when burned.
Also, the ethanol production process generates greenhouse gases and ethanol production may be
partially responsible for food shortages that are currently driving up the cost and availability of
food. Finally, ethanol fuel has special storage and handling requirements that the City is not
currently capable of meeting.
Hybrid vehicles use less fuel than regular gasoline vehicles, which results in lower exhaust
emissions per mile driven. One negative factor is that hybrid vehicles rely on batteries for part of
their motive power, and those batteries pose an additioqal maintenance expense and disposal
issue. Hybrid vehicles are also more expensive to purchase than regular gasoline powered
vehicles. Therefore, the City is investigating the possibility of leasing hybrid vehicles to avoid
the upfront capital costs and hedge against the resale value of these vehicles as it is unclear what
the resale market for hybrid vehicles will be in five or ten years.
Vehicles that operate on compressed natural gas (CNG) are less readily available for purchase
than hybrids or ethanol fuel vehicles, and there is very little fueling infrastructure in place.
While no American auto manufacturer builds a light-duty vehicle powered by CNG, Honda has
released a commercially-available Civic which uses CNG. The City operates its own CNG fuel
facility at the Public Works Corp Yard (PWC), but the dispensing capacity is not sufficient for
large-scale fueling operations. The cost to up-grade the facility would be several hundred
thousand dollars. Another factor mitigating against purchasing or using CNG powered vehicles
is that the resale value of such vehicles could be low.
Biodiesel is a good alternative to regular diesel fuel. The fuel is created by mixing vegetable fats
from a variety of sources with low sulphur diesel fuel in ratios of up to 1:5 to form B20 biodiesel
fuel. The fuel can be used, in most cases, without modification to existing engines, as long as
certain operating precautions are followed. At present, it will be necessary to increase fuel
storage tank capacity at the Public Works Corp Yard to accommodate biodiesel. The ideal
capacity would be 10,000 gallons for each fuel type.

IMPLElVIENTATION
Implementation of this policy will require a multi-faceted approach. Each alternative fuel or
high efficiency technology has issues that must be considered, such as the carbon footprint of
one type of fuel versus another, or extraneous environmental issues or unintended consequences
that will arise, as a result of actions taken in support of this implementation plan. The three
implementation approaches are:
(1) The Fleet Management Division will replace cars and light-duty trucks with high
efficiency, alternative fuel or ultra-low emissions vehicles as the existing City vehicles
become due for replacement, with careful consideration for the total cost to the Vehicle
Replacement Fund, and ensuring that replacement vehicles are appropriate for their
intended use. This iterative process will take approximately ten (10) years to fully
replace existing light-duty vehicles with alternative fuel or hybrid substitutes. Leasing
vehicles (instead of purchasing) may require a smaller initial capital outlay, shorten the
implementation time and provide greater flexibility to transition to future alternative fuel
or hybrid options.
(2) The existing diesel-fueled vehicles in the City fleet will be converted to operate on
B20 biodiesel. This step can be implemented as soon as fuel storage tank capacity is
addressed, since there is insufficient fuel storage capacity currently available at the Public
Works Corp Yard.
(3) For heavy-duty trucks for which no adequate alternative fuel or high efficiency
technology currently exists, the City will wait to include these vehicle types in the fleet
clean vehicle replacement process. It is unknown at this time what or when technology
will become available in the coming years to convert these vehicles to alternate fuels. In
addition, hybrid heavy-duty trucks are not financiiilly viable at this time. Economies of
scale should cause the incremental price difference to drop dramatically in the near future
as more truck manufacturers offer hybrid or alternative fuel options.
An important consideration in the implementation of this policy is to avoid a large commitment
to any particular alternative fuel or technology, until it becomes clearer what fuel or technology
will be the "fuel of the future" for reasons of environmental benefit, availability and reasonable
cost. It may very well be that hydrogen fuel is financially feasible and readily available within
ten years, though it is not feasible now. Whatever the ideal or best fuel or technology may be, a
large investment by the City in a different fuel or technology would delay migrating to the most
preferred fuel or technology in the future. Although beyond the scope of this implementation
plan, the City may need to consider other policy options (such as video teleconferencing by City
employees) to also help reduce vehicle lIsage and the resulting greenhouse gas emissions.
PERFORi"IANCE METRICS
The new policy's performance will be measured compared to a baseline by the following
metrics: number of hybrid vehicles in the City fleet, number of other alternative fuel vehicles in
the City fleet, number of ultra low emissions vehicles (as defined by the federal and state EPA)
in the City fleet, number of gallons of fuel used (by type), average fuel economy for the City
fleet (by class of vehicle) and the reduction in greenhouse gases emitted by City vehicles.

TIMELINE
The timeline (summarized below) is based upon the basic fleet replacement schedule, and uses
the replacement guidelines contained therein, modified to reflect current economic conditions. It
will take approximately ten (l0) years to completely replace the fleet's car and light-duty truck
vehicles with hybrid or alternative fuel substitutes. Diesel-powered, heavy-duty vehicles will
begin converting to biodiesel once the pertinent infrastructure is installed. More detailed
information regarding the municipal fleet replacement schedule (Appendix A) is also included as
a reference in this document. The schedule assumes the availability of hybrid or alternative fuel
vehicles when vehicle replacement is planned although currently there are not options for all
vehicle types. It is anticipated that availability will improve rapidly in the next few years. In
addition, the schedule does not include police patrol sedans nor special assignment undercover
investigation vehicles. Although police sedans having Flex Fuel capabilities (i.e. able to use
gasoline or ethanol) will be available in 2009, ethanol will not be used as an alternative fuel for
reasons previously mentioned'.

For some off-road construction and maintenance equipment, it will be many years before these
vehicle and equipment classes are replaced in the fleet with newer, less polluting substitutes.
However, for some high usage equipment classes (such as riding lawn mowers and sewer
cleaning trucks), they could be replaced within a relatively short period of time (possibly within'
six years). In both cases, it is highly unlikely that hybrids or alternative fuel replacement options
will be available for those equipment types in the near future. In the interim, diesel-powered
equipment will be operated on B20 biodiesel, as soon as the fuel storage capacity issue is
addressed.

BUDGET & FINANCING
Over the ten years during which vehicles and equipment will be replaced with hybrid and/or
alternative fuel substitutes, the cost difference between purchasing "clean" vehicles and regular
gasoline/diesel vehicles is estimated to be $1.6 million (averaging $160,000 annually). In
addition, approximately $350,000 will be required to install tanks to provide biodiesel fueling
opportunities. Appendix B (attached) outlines the incremental cost difference each year. It is
expected that incremental pricing will, decline over time as the technology becomes more
widespread and more hybrid 'models become available for purchase. The program's budget is
outlined below: .

TOTAL $350,000

The Vehicle Replacement Fund will need to be adjusted beginning this year, to ensure that
sufficient funds are available to implement measure # 1. At present, the Vehicle Replacement
Fund is under. funded and currently only has a fund balance of approximately $950,000. Charges
to vehicle user departments must be adjusted to reflect the higher purchase prices that will be
experienced as hybrid or alternative fhel vehicles are assimilated into the fleet. This will have a
negative impact on the General Fund, since the majority of fleet vehicles are operated by General
Fund departments. Projections for the next two or three fiscal years show that there will not be a
large number of hybrid vehicles brought into the fleet, based upon recently revised vehicle
replacement schedules. Therefore, the immediate impact on the Vehicle Replacement Fund will
not be significant. Furthermore, municipal fuel cost savings (estimated at $306,277 over 10
years based on current fuel prices) from incorporating alternative fuel and higher efficiency
vehicles into the fleet will offset a portion of the increased replacement costs.

MEASURE #2: ENCOURAGE CITY-CONTRACTED FLEET
OPERA TORS TO ADOPT THE USE OF HIGH EFFICIENCY (HYBRID)
OR AL TERNA TIVE FUEL VEHICLES
OVERVIEW
Climate Change Working Group's recommendation #2 states that "the City ofChula Vista work
with fleets under City authority to influence their expanded use of alternative fuels and high-
efficiency/alternative fuel vehicles including electric, biodiesel, ethanol, hybrid, hydrogen and
natural gas based on appropriateness for vehicle task, fueling infrastructure, petroleum
displacement, overall cost and environmental benefit." Generally, the implementation of this
policy will requir~ amendments to the City's contracting and bid specifications, requiring
contractors to incorporate high efficiency (hybrid) and alternative fuel vehicles into their fleet
when new contracts are negotiated. The effectiveness of this implementation is dependant upon
the alternative fuels infrastructure and vehicle classes in which there are operationally-practical,
technically-feasible hybrid or alternative thel options.
Staff had already begun discussions concerning alternative fuels and hybrid/alternative fuel
vehicles with some of the City contractors prior to the Climate Change Working Group's
recommendation. City staff reviewed current contracts and permit processes in relationship to
this climate protection measure. Each of these permitted or contracted fleets' implementation
status is detailed below.
IlYlPLEMENTATION
Transit
In FYI998/99, City COlincil authorized staff to convert the Chula Vista Transit (CVT) fleet from
diesel to Compressed Natural Gas (CNG). The first defivery of 15 full-size CNG buses took
place in 2001 and I o more arrived in 2002. In 2005, seven mid-size CNG buses were delivered.
Six of these buses were incorporated into the Transit fleet and one was turned over to the Nature
Center to be utilized as their shuttle. The current Transit fleet, as summarized in Table 2 below,
now consists of 37 buses of which 31 buses are CNG.

Street Sweeping
Cannon-Pacific, the City's contracted street sweeper, currently operates three street sweepers
within City limits. The contractor is looking into alternative fuel trucks and related fueling
options available for street sweepers and has expressed interest in using alternative fuel vehicles
within the current contract term, which may require "significant" contract amendments. Cannon-
Pacific fully understands the need for alternative fuel vehicles and is willing to work with the
City of Chula Vista to comply with climate protection measure #2.
Trash Hauler
The City's contract with Allied Waste Services is in its first eight-year contract extension, which
expires June 30, 2015. There is a "Clean Fuel Source" clause in the current contract with Allied
Waste Services:
6.2.24 Clean Fuel Source. Pacific shall develop a pilot project/or Collection vehicle replacement or
conversion to a clean fuel service in cooperation with City within 180 days which identifies
Collection vehicles for conversion and provides that conversion will occur if City and Pacific can.
identify outside funding to pay for (a) the vehicle conversion, (b) incremental cost of new vehicles
and (c) costs for a centrally located fueling station. Pacific or its Affiliate will promptly implement a
program regarding the purchase of new clean fuel source (u., E-rated electricity, propane, natural
gas, liquid natural gas, hydrogen fuel cell, eNG, or equivalent clean power and fuel source) for non-
Collection support vehicles and on-site equipment using gasoline or diesel (such as fork lifts or
generators) upon the replacement of such support vehicles and on-site equipment. Pacific will
immediately establish service with a California Green E Utility provider for its on-site electrical power
source needs at Chula Vista facilities. City shall permit Pacific and its AJfiliates to purchase cIeanfl.lel
sources from City at a price that does not include any profit for City.
Allied Waste Services began using biodiesel (B20 Blend) seven years ago and more recently
began adding a fuel reformulator, Ethos RF, to improve fuel efficiency and reduce emissions
(non-greenhouse gas). This fuel combination, in tandem' with all the California Air Resources
Board-required equipment (such as particulate traps and catalytic converters), has reduced their
opacity readings fleet-wide by 74.5% since 2001 and already placed them in full compliance
with 2010 air emission standards. Allied Waste Services operates 52 collection vehicles in the
City of Chula Vista.
Taxis
The City does not currently contract with any taxi service, but does license taxis to operate
within the City's boundaries. In order to obtain a license to perform taxi service within Chula
Vista, the cab company must submit their cab(s) to a thorough vehicle inspection and fill out the
required licensing paperwork with the City of Chula Vista Police Department's Traffic
Enforcement Unit. Of the 179 taxi cabs that are currently licensed to operate within the City of
Chula Vista, approximately 51 % of the taxis are independently owned and operated. The
remaining taxis belong to one of three different taxi cab companies: Red Cab (45 taxis), Eritrean
Cab (23 taxis) and Yellow Cab (20 taxis).
In discussions with the three major cab companies, City staff learned that the companies do not
directly purchase vehicles, rather they independently contract with individuals to provide
insurance, dispatching and name recognition. It is up to each individual cab owner to replace
his/her vehicle. All three companies indicated that currently moving to alternative fuels is
problematic because there is not an established network of fueling infrastructure to support
CCWG Implementation Plans (As Adopted by City Council)
July t, 2008

2-12
vehicle fleets throughout San Diego County. In the past, Yellow Cab tried switching their fleets
to CNG but frequently had their vehicles running out of fuel due to the limited infrastructure. As
a result, their towing expenses increased dramatically and they reverted back to conventional fuel
vehicles.
Another obstacle to incorporating "clean" vehicles into the taxi fleet is the cost increase to
individual cab operators. Taxi vehicles are .typically purchased as used vehicles. By requiring
new AFV!Hybrid vehicles to be purchased instead, operators would not be able to make enough
revenue to offset the cost premium of purchasing the new vehicle. This could result in low-er
service levels within City limits which may directly affect Chula Vista residents and businesses.
Tow Trucks
The City currently contracts with four tow companies to provide police-initiated tows such as
vehicle accident removal, abandoned vehicle removal, negligent vehicle impounds and towing
inoperable department vehicles. Staff met with the tow companies to discuss alternative fuel or
hybrid options for their fleets. Because the majority of tow vehicles use diesel-based engines,
the only practical alternative fuel option for the tow fleet at this time is biodiesel. The closest
biodiesel fueling station toChula Vista is off Interstate 15 at EI Cajon Boulevard. Because of the
distance (approximately 10 miles) and the limited operating hours (7 am - 10 pm), this is not an
economically or environmentally feasible option. Until the appropriate fueling infrastructure is
built in Chula Vista, biodiesel use is impractical for the tow truck fleet. For the few non-diesel
based tow vehicles, there currently are no alternativelhybrid options for these sized vehicles.
However, manufacturers of larger trucks are now developing hybrid vehicles which ultimately
could be placed into fleet use sometime in the future.
The current contract with the tow companies expires June 30, 2011. As a new contract is
eventually pursued, staff will reassess local biodiesel availability and other relevant AFV!Hybrid
replacement options. If there are feasible options, language will be added to the Request tor
Proposals outlining the City's Policy for AFV!Hybrid vehicles.
PERFORMANCE M;ETRlCS
As a performance measure, the City will require an annual vehicle list from contractors which
may contain, but is not limited to, the vehicle fleet number, make, model, age and fuel type of
each vehicle. Through this annual inventory, the City will be able to track each contractor's
progress in incorporating hybrid and alternative vehicles into their fleets.
TIMELINE
Transit
The Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) has approved the funds to purchase six additional CNG
buses for the Chula Vista Transit fleet during CY 2009 which will result in 95% of the fleet
being powered by an alternative fuel. Additionally, Chula Vista and MTS are under the
California Air Resource Board's (CARB) Alternative Fuel Path, which commits both agencies to
purchase only alternative fuel buses. Chula Vista Transit's contractor, Veolia Transportation.
Inc., has also committed to purchasing five (5) hybrid vehicles for their road supervisor staff.
The implementation time line for transit vehicle replacement is summarized below:

Over the last two years, Allied Waste has continued to evaluate biodiesel suppliers who could
provide a consistent, high quality fuel source. One potential source is a company called New
Leaf which is building a biodiesel manufacturing facility in Otay Mesa. The facility will use
cooking oil as its fuel base. Allied Waste Services has already begun to meet with New Leaf to
work on establishing standards and a possible purchasing agreement. The implementation
time line for trash hauler vehicle replacement is summarized below:

capable of performing tow operations.
BUDGET & FINANCING
While there is some grant funding available for specific equipment/models and conversions, it is
expected that there will be some cost increases or longer contract terms required for contractors
to be able to amortize the capital investments from complying with the City's "clean" vehicle
replacement policy. The program's budget is outlined below:

The Metropolitan Transit System has approved the funds to purchase six CNG buses for Chula
Vista Transit which are anticipated to arrive in 2009. The City has received a $738,000 earmark
from Congressman Bob Filner's office for a Hydrogen/Compressed Natural Gas (HCNG) blend
project. Two CNG buses will be recalibrated to operate on a 20!80 HCNG fuel blend. Using the
HCNG blend reduces all emissions. An immediate and significant benefit comes from a 50%
reduction in nitrogen oxides (NOx) compared to CNG. Approximately $5,000 - 6,000 per bus!
month will be required to produce the hydrogen required to operate the buses. Transit.funds will
continue to be able to fund the CNG fuel use, but additional funds will be needed to cover the
incremental cost of the hydrogen production.
Ford Motor Company has provided the City one (I) experimental Ford Hydrogen Internal
Combustion Engine (H2ICE) 12-passenger shuttle van, which will be based on the Ford E450
platform for the purpose of aiding both Ford and the City to demonstrate and evaluate the
performance characteristics of such a vehicle. The City of Chula Vista proposes to use the
H2ICE as the transportation means for visitors to the Chula Vista Nature Center. The cost of
electricity to generate the hydrogen by the City's hydrogen electrolyzer is estimated at $2,400
per month. The extended cost over the term ofthe project is estimated to be $43,000.
Street Sweeping
Cannon-Pacific has expressed an interest in starting the alternative fuel vehicle implementation
within the current contract term, which may require "significant" contract amendments such as
additional fees or costs.
Trash Hauler
Allied Waste Services has recently submitted a grant application to the Air Pollution Control
District's Carl Moyer Fund to purchase 25 CNG trucks and a fueling station for its Chula Vista
fleet. They are also researching the feasibility of using landfill methane gas for fueling purposes.

MEASURE #3: BUSINESS ENERGY ASSESSMENTS
OVERVIEW
The measure, as adopted by City Council, would encourage through a new municipal ordinance
commercial and industrial businesses to participate in an energy assessment of their premises
The measure is intended to help businesses identify energy efficiency opportunities at their
facilities and, if desired, take advantage of applicable rebate and incentive programs for energy
efficiency improvements. The assessments, which would be offered at no cost, would only apply
to businesses with a physical storefront and/or office and would be encouraged when a new
license is issued or every three years for a renewed business license. The business energy
assessment process is graphically summarized below:

IMPLEMENTATION
The Department of Conservation & Environmental Services will administer the program with
anticipated support provided by the Finance (Business License Division) and Information
Technology Services (IT Programming Division) Departments. Staff is recommending that the
business energy assessment be codified through Title 20 - "Energy Conservation" of the Chula
Vista Municipal Code (see Appendix C for example of conservation-focused municipal code
applying to all Chula Vista businesses). Specifically, the municipal code would be augmented to
include the following concepts:
All commercial and industrial businesses in the City of Chula Vista are encouraged to
cooperate with City staff or their delegate to conduct a free energy assessment of their
facilities when a new business license is issued or once every three years for an existing
CCWG Implementation Plans (As Adopted by City Council)

license by providing; I) a date and time for the assessment convenient for the business, 2)
access to their facilities for the assessment during their regular business hours, 3)
authorization (voluntary) to access their Energy Waves account (a San Diego Gas &
Electric energy analysis tool), and 4) a signature and title of a facility manager on a
completed assessment form acknowledging that the business has received a completed
assessment and relevant information about potential energy efficiency improvements to
implement at the business's discretion. For multi-tenant commercial buildings, the
property manager may authorize a whole building assessment replacing the need for
individual tenant assessments.
Assessment Notification Process: The City will send a written notice to each business at
least once every three years in conjunction with the City's annual business license
renewal mailer informing the business of the opportunity for a free energy assessment
and providing information that allows a business to schedule an appointment at their
convenience. A business shall also receive a business assessment notice whenever a new
business license is required such as the establishment of a new business or transfer of
ownership for an existing business.
Assessment Deliverables: The assessment findings shall be provided to the business on a
form established by the City Manager in conjunction with the local utility and business
representatives, including a chart of their energy consumption over the past 18 months
(extracted from their Energy Waves account) and an estimate of their potential energy
and financial savings as well as the corresponding greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions
based on state-approved GHG accounting protocols. The assessment may also review
alternative transportation options which the business could implement and/or promote to
its employees and customers and the resulting GHG reductions. The City shall provide
any available forms and an offer of assistance to complete the forms and process for
accessing available state and/or local rebates that reduce the cost of implementing the
voluntary energy efficiency improvements.
Businesses are not required to implement improvements, however, businesses may at
their discretion request additional assistance from the City or its designee to be trained on
how to use Energy Waves and implement any or all of the measures selected by the
business as the most cost effective choices for reducing energy consumption. The City
shall also provide contact information for the local Utility's Account Executive or other
staff designated by the Utility for a specific program that may assist the business in
reducing its energy costs.
Exemotions: An energy assessment may not be necessary for new businesses occupying
a commercial space which has completed one of the following: I) been permitted by the
City Building Division within three years for a remodel or new-construction to meet the
most current City Title 24 and above standards, 2) has been certified through a California
Energy Commission-certified (or other applicable state agency) green building program,
or 3) has already received an assessment within the last three years. In addition,
Assessments are not necessary for home offices, mobile businesses and other business
entities that do not have a utility gas or electric meter on a commercial rate schedule.

PERFORMANCE METRICS
The business energy assessment program's perfor'mance will be measured by a suite of metrics
including the number of assessments performed, number of energy efficiency improvements
identified and the corresponding potential kWhfTherm savings. In addition, the number of
businesses implementing new alternative transportation policies or programs will be tracked.
Staff will investigate the possibility of receiving aggregated customer information from SDG&E
to quantifY the number and amount of incentive funds solicited as a result of the business
assessment process.
In the City's current greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory protocol, the business sector's carbon
emissions are directly quantified by extrapolating business energy use from aggregated
community data provided by SDG&E. While the proposed program does not require businesses
to adopt energy efficiency improvements, it does help them to understand and apply for SDG&E
rebate and incentive programs that could lead to increased energy conservation. Over the last
two years, City staff has visited over 2,000 businesses and identified over 800,000 kWh in
potential annual energy savings (equivalent to over 700,000 lbs of carbon emissions) as part of
the current program. Encouraging an energy assessment as part of. the business license renewal
process will greatly expand the potential for immediate emissions reductions and provide
opportunities for businesses to lower their monthly energy costs.
TIMELINE
Implementation would require an amendment to Chapter 20 "Energy Conservation" of the Chula
Vista Municipal Code and potentially a cross reference amending the Business License code
sections (5.02 & 5.04). Ordinance notice, first reading and second reading would take
approximately 40 days. Some items may require review by other agencies which may also take
an estimated 45 to 60 days. The program's time line is summarized below:

BUDGET & FINANCING
The proposed program's implementation cost is estimated to be $321,400 per year in staffing,
supplies and services (summarized in table below). This program cost assumes full funding of
all seven CCWG measures and will leverage each measure's "budget to provide partial cost
sharing of staff time and program materials. For example, staff visiting businesses to perform
energy assessments will also be able to promote other climate-related programs such as the Solar
Conversion (CCWG Measure #5) and Turf Lawn Conversion (CCWG Measure #7) programs
leading to lower implementation costs for each program and increased program participation. A
portion of each measure's budget will also partially cover overall administrative and
performance tracking costs associated with the City's climate protection efforts. The program's
budget is outlined below:

Probable funding by SDG&E/CPUC through Dec 2011
The City, through the Department of Conservation & Environmental Services, currently offers a
voluntary business energy assessment program which is funded through a California Public
Utilities Commission (CPUC)/San Diego Gas &Electric (SDG&E) grant through December 31,
2008. The grant only provides funds for the assessments and not incentives for businesses to
implement the identified energy efficiency improvements. Staff has submitted a new grant
proposal to the CPUC/SDG&E to continue funding the business assessment program through
December 31, 2011. To ensure the program continues beyond future grant funding cycles, staff
"would recommend that the program should be funded through a more broadly applied Fee
Authority structure. A Fee Authority would provide staff with greater flexibility to address
future business growth and increased personnel and supply costs as the program and economy
evolve.

MEASURE #4: GREEN BUILDING STANDARDS
OVERVIEW
The City of Chula Vista Climate Change Working Group's (CCWG) recommendation #4 urges
the City to adopt community-wide green building standards that are comprehensive in coverage
and mandatory. The CCWG recommended that new and substantially renovated structures be
required to be built to LEED Silver or to an equivalent third-party certification green building
program, with the effect of having an energy efficiency impact of at least 20% over current Title
24 requirements. However, there is not a straight-line relationship between green program
certification or Title 24 performance and carbon reductions. For this reason, City staff
recommends an approach that focuses directly on carbon emission reductions. Reductions in
energy use by buildings are among the easiest carbon-reducing actions to quantify and lessen the
community's "carbon footprint."
As approved by City Council, Chula Vista will implement a citywide, mandatory green building
standard for new construction and major renovations. The new standard will have 3 main
components: (1) a minimum energy efficiency (carbon equivalent) requirement of 15% above
Title 24 - 2005, (2) the early adoption of the new California Green Building Codes for all
residential and commercial projects and (3) a Carbon Offset Fee available for projects not
meeting the 15% above Title 24 threshold. The City will re-evaluate its Green Building Standard
in summer 2009 when the revised Title 24 becomes effective. The Chula Vista Green Building
Standard will complement green building measures at the state and national level, and place a
high priority on reducing the carbon emissions of buildings in Chula Vista. The innovative
program provides an equitable solution for new and retrofit, as well as residential, industrial and
commercial buildings. Furthermore, the proposed program meets, and in the case of commercial
projects exceeds, the initial reduction targets outlined, by Architecture 2030, a nationally-
recognized movement in the building/architectural community to make new buildings "carbon
neutral" by 2030 (Appendix D).
IMl'LEMENTATION
The City of Chula Vista Planning and Building Department, Building Division, is responsible for
confirming that all commercial, industrial and residential construction projects meet the
minimum requirements of the State and locally mandated construction codes. They also provide
plan check and associated inspections. The Planning Division is responsible for promulgating
policy and regulations and administering them for land use, site design and zoning. Building
Codes, land use policies, zoning ordinances and design guidelines all can contribute to the goal
of meeting this objective. The Chula Vista Green Building Standards program will focus on
reducing carbon emissions and contains the following four components: (1) Develop and
implement a Chula Vista Building Carbon Reduction Benchmark Program, (2) Early adoption of
the California Green Building Code, (3) Preparation and Implementation of a Green Awareness
program for homeowners and building operators, and (4) Adoption of new zoning ordinances
and design guidelines. The implementation process is graphically depicted below:

Carbon Reduction Program
Development of a Building Carbon Reduction Benchmark Program
Staff will work to develop and implement a Building Carbon Reduction Benchmark Program,
which would recommend that all new construction ~nd remodels reduce and document
reductions in carbon emissions compared to the minimum'results that would be achieved through
compliance with the applicable version of California Title 24 energy standards. The proposed
program will allow developers the flexibility to determine how best to meet these requirements,
which will offset the burden associated with meeting an additional procedural requirement. This
program would provide a level playing field for new and retrofit, as well as residential, industrial
and commercial buildings, and would help accomplish the goals of the Chula Vista CO,
Reduction Plan.
In coordination with stakeholders, staff would begin with developing the framework of the
Building Carbon Reduction Benchmark Program to attain 15% greater carbon reduction than
current Title 24 requirements and establish the goals, objectives and proposed thresholds to
accordingly reduce overall carbon emissions for all new development. Staff will then prepare an
energy savings component that includes both c.ommunity/site design guidelines and energy
efficiency measures. As a part of this effort, staff will prepare guidelines for building permit
review and further refine and/or supplement the Chula Vista Carbon Checklist (Appendix E).
This checklist shows emission reductions for various Development Credits as well as Energy
Efficiency Credits for both Prescriptive and Performance Paths. As a part of this program, staff
will evaluate a range of proposed carbon emission thresholds. As an example, proposed
.thresholds may require a reduction in carbon emissions of 15 pounds per 100 square foot in
Climate Zone 7 and a reduction of35 pounds per 100 square foot in Climate Zone 10 based on
the applicable version of Title 24. Chula Vista straddles two different climate zones. The bulk
CCWG Implementation Plans (As Adopted by City Council)
July 1, 2008

190f58
of the City rests within Climate Zone 7 while the far east of the City is in the more rigorous
Climate Zone 10 (Appendix F). These values represent the approximate carbon savings achieved
when exceeding Title 24 by 15%. The Chula Vista Carbon Reduction Checklist will need to be
completed by the builder for each permit.
The savings can be accomplished in two different areas: (I) community/site design and (2)
energy efficiency. The first typically applies to larger scale projects, and the Planning and
Building Department will ensure that future long range plans such as Specific Plans and
Sectional Planning Area (SPA) Plans include community/site design and energy efficiency
components through policy and regulatory changes as presented in the "Policy Guidelines and
Regulatory Amendments" section. Community/site design features generally manifest carbon
savings through reducing vehicle miles traveled (VMT), and associated tail pipe emissions, by
increasing emphasis on other travel modes such as walking and transit use through means
including: expanded pedestrian/bike connections, expanded transit plans, mixed-use
development, and increased density. Additional efficiency can also be gained through site
design features that optimize the potential for renewable and advanced energy-efficient
technology uses (i.e. solar orientation, cogeneration and district energy systems).
While all of these features can lead to carbon savings, the establishment of baselines and the
quantification of savings for community design measures are less direct than with energy
efficiency measures, and at present there are not well established metrics. This is one of ~he
primary focuses of the active Chula Vista Research Project (CVRP) with the National Energy
Center for Sustainable Communities (NECSe). The CVRP/NECSC team is currently
conducting studies to produce a set of clear modeling assumptions, a detailed description of their
methodology and specific emission reduction values for alternative community/site design
features. Their work will not be completed for several months. Staff will also need to carefully
work with the CVRP outputs and the NECSC team to define and establish these baselines and
features, and balance their use along with desired energy efficiency savings. To accomplish
development of the community/site design component of the Green Building Standards Program,
staff envisions a multi-step process which will include the following: (I) establishment of a
community/site design Working Group, (2) scoping and evaluation workshops, (3) compose a
draft standard and conduct a rating simulation, (4) revise the draft standard and solicit
stakeholder input and (5) complete and issue the final community/site design standard for
Council consideration as part of the overall Green Building Standards Program. Individual
project savings will need to be quantified by the developer or builder with PLACE'S,
Community Viz, URBEI\IUS or other appropriate software used to calculate energy generation
and efficiency options as a function of land use and development choices as determined through
the CVRP. The Planning and Building Department will evaluate the~e products to determine
which is preferable for use in the Program.
Builders will also be able to accumulate carbon savings through energy efficiency. There will be
three avenues for them to accomplish this: (I) a prescriptive path where the builder selects
features that will deliver the necessary savings, (2) a performance path where the builder uses
California Energy Commission-approved software to quantifY the energy savings (and thus
carbon savings) of specific efficiency measures and (3) renewable energy production. The
prescriptive path is available to residential construction and remodels; however, commercial
buildings must follow the performance path. The third method for builders to reduce carbon
CCWG Implementation Plans (As Adopted by City Council)
July 1,2008
20 of 58
2-23
emissions is to include on-site renewable energy. Technologies that shall qualifY include: solar
photovoltaic systems, solar hot water systems, geothermal systems (geoexchange) and small
scale wind turbines. The building will be credited with carbon savings based on the size of the
system installed. This compliance method will be available to all building types. The City will
re-evaluate the Green Building Standard's 15% threshold in summer 2009 when the revised Title
24 becomes effective.
The program will include a mitigation fee component should a builder choose or otherwise not
be able to effectively meet the additional CO2 savings requirement on-site. The fee will equate to
the cost of exceeding Title 24 by 15%. The fee will establish a dollar value per pound of
necessary carbon offset by building type. Preliminary estimates from our consultant, ConSol,
indicate that the fee may be approximately $2.50 per pound of carbon plus administrative costs.
By focusing on pounds of carbon per square foot, the City can utilize the same set of ground
, rules for residential and commercial construction, new construction and remodels, custom homes
and large developments. Builders shall also have the option of opting out of the checklist if they
demonstrate through CEC certified software that they exceed Title 24 by 15% or more.
Earlv Adoption of California Green Building Code
The Building Standards Commission (BSC) and Department of Housing and Community
Devdopment (BCD) have developed a California Green Building Code (CGBC), which will
apply to non-residential and residential construction, respectively. The BSC regulations for non-
residential buildings is currently intended to be a voluntary code, while the HCD version for
housing three stories or less will become mandatory by State Law on January 1,20 II. Since the
mix of Chula Vista permits weighs heavily on residential (80/20), it is recommended that the
California Green Building Code requirements be used for both residential and commercial
buildings.
Please note that the plumbing provisions of CGBC do not become effective until July I, 2011.
The plumbing measures have a delayed adoption to ensure that enough of the required product
(fixtures, showerheads and toilets) will be available to meet market demand when the code is
adopted. The CGBC includes many best practices among the existing green programs. The
water savings, construction waste reductions, and the Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) limits
for paints, adhesives, and carpets can be mainstreamed into construction practice with minimal
cost impact. The provision of the CGBe that has the largest cost impact is the requirement for
1.28 gallon per flush toilets. Currently, a 1.28 gallon per flush toilet is -$250 more expensive
than a current 1.6 gallon per flush toilet. '
It is recommended that Chula Vista adopt the HCD California Green Building Code as itwill be
approved this summer. If Chula Vista adopts this code before the implementation date of
January 1,2011 and/or expands its scope to include commercial buildings, the City will need to
adopt a Findings of Fact per Health and Safety Code 17958.5 and 17958.7. This is a finding that
states that the new municipal code is reasonably necessary' for climatic, geologic or topographic
conditions. The new code would not be effective until the Findings of Fact were filed along with
the ordinance to the Building Standards Commission.

Unlike other green programs, however, there is no requirement in the HCD portion of the
California Green Building Code to exceed Title 24. It is the energy efficiency portion of any
green program that is responsible for the carbon dioxide savings. Thus, the HCD program on its
own will do little to combat global warming, but when paired with a City requirement to reduce
carbon, the HCD program is on par with the other green programs found nationally and
throughout the state. The HCD language is closely modeled on the soon to be published ANSI
700 National Green Building Standard. The City ofChula Vista Growth Management Ordinance
currently requires a Water Conservation Plan (WCP) to be submitted with all Sectional Planning
Area plans, tentative subdivision maps, or with major development projects. In May 2003, the
City adopted WCP guidelines in order to implement this requirement. As a companion
component to this program in the Turf Lawn Conversion program (measure #7), the City would
review the state Model Landscape Ordinance and update the Landscape Manual and WCP
guidelines to encourage additional water savings.
City staff and builders will need to be trained on the requirements of the California Green
Building Code. Since this training will ultimately be necessary, focusing on the California Code
eliminates the need to train for a local green building code now, and the California code later.
Green Awareness Program
An education and outreach effort will help to highlight energy saving steps homeowners and
building operators can take to help reduce their carbon footprint. The science and findings
behind the CCWG's measures should be made available to the public. Education and outreach
efforts should include what the CCWG recommendations say and why they should be
implemented. Distinctions should be presented between basic Energy Code compliance, the
Chula Vista Green Building Standard and the upcoming California Green Building Code.
Between these standards, a new or substantially remodeled structure will combine an energy
efficient building envelope, building systems, water conservation, increased comfort and cost
savings as well as a much healthier indoor environment and provide measure implementation
time lines and guidelines for all aspects of the outreach and education program. Information
dissemination should be through the City's Building and Planning Departments many outreach
resources such as their "Sustainability Website," newsletters, seminar series, news releases,
brochures and fact sheet stations as well as other marketing approaches and media. A carbon
calculator is another way to encourage those not building or retrofitting to start thinking about
reducing their footprint. Green Awareness will be spread through training City staff and builders
on the requirements of the California Green Building Code. All new buildings in Chula Vista
shall include a Green Awareness section in the Homeowner or Maintenance and Operations
Manual. This would contain an overview of the energy and cost saving features as well as
facto ids such as that a Plasma screen television uses as much electricity'as a refrigerator.
Policv Guidelines and Regulatorv Amendments
In order to implement the Building Carbon Reduction Benchmark Program, several policy
documents and development regulations will need to be modit1ed to reflect new green building
standards. This program will likely require amendments to the City's adopted Air Quality
Improvement Plan (AQIP) guidelines, Growth Management Ordinance, Design Manual and
Guidelines, and the City's Municipal Code. The Green Building Standards Program will also
require amendments to the Zoning Ordinance in order to implement any proposed community
and/or site and building design standards. LEED-NC (New Construction) and LEED-ND
CCWG Implementation Plans (As Adopted by City Council)
Juiy 1, 2008
23 of 58
2-26
(Neighborhood Development) will continue to be considered and encouraged as the City amends
the Zoning Ordinance and Design Manuals. Although Chula Vista is creating its own Green
Building Standards program consistent with the direction of State legislation for building codes,
Chula Vista will continue to use and consider (according to General Plan policy) LEED-NC and
LEED-NO, as long as they are national standards embraced by the broader architectural and
development community. These LEED standards are now included and available through the
Urban Core Specific Plan as options and are coupled with development incentives.
All proposed regulatory amendments will be vetted through a public process that will encourage
community and stakeholder input. Following adoption of these proposed changes to the City's
policy guidelines and development regulations, staff will evaluate and implement a process to
align the Green Building Standards program and the Zoning Ordinance and Design Manual
modifications with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) environmental review
process.
PERFORMANCE METRICS
The implementation of this measure requires an addition to the City's municipal code outlining
the new green building standard. Performance would be gauged by the sum of carbon savings of
each permit granted and building built in comparison to the anticipated savings achieved through
compliance with the minimum requirements of the applicable version of Title 24.
TIMELINE
The program's implementation timeline is graphically summarized below. The CGBC is
currently in a IS-day comment period, but once it is approved, the Chula Vista City Council
could also approve the code. The implementation of the thula Vista Green Building Standards
could occur as soon as municipal codes are amended and adequate notice is given to the public.
The fact that the implementation and enforcement process for building new structures is already
in place shortens the recommendation's implementation. Findings of Fact would need to be filed
with the BSC. Authoring and creation of fliers (builder, homeowner, building operator and
carbon reduction checklist) could be done by staff or outsourced, depending on capabilities and
time. In addition, Planning and Building Department staff will need to be trained on CGBC, the
Chula Vista Carbon Reduction Checklist, 2008 Title 24 code changes and ASHRAE 62.2.

BUDGET & FINAt"lCING
Cost for carrying out the four main implementation components vary by component and are
outlined below. Final costs and budget implications will need to be determined and presented as
the various program components are finalized and returned for Council action.
Building Carbon Reduction Benchmark Program-
The Building Carbon Reduction Benchmark Program does not require additional field
inspections by Chula Vista inspectors so additional staff should not be necessary. Inspection
criteria and documentation, however, will expand requiring more time per project. Information
dissemination can occur in printed form at the permit counter, vendor and material outlets, and
professional meetings. Information can also be distributed on the City website.
Early Green Building Code Adoption-
Staff will be working with our consultant, ConSol, to identifY associated costs and will return
those to Council when available.
Green Awareness Program-
Staffing at 15% of a Building Inspector III: $22,500 annually
Outreach and awareness publications: $15,000 annually

The City currently has a grant application in under the 2009-11 SDG&E Partnership Program
funding cycle to cover these costs, and should hear back by July 2008 if we are successful.
Policy Guidelines and Regulatory Amendments-
The Planning Division staffing cost estimate for implementation of the "Policy Guidelines and
Regulatory Amendments" is approximately $75,000. An additional $2,500 will be needed for
publications of revised documents, bringing the total one time budget cost to $77,500.

MEASURE #5: SOLAR & ENERGY EFFICIENCY CONVERSION
OVERVIEW
The City ofChula Vista Climate Change Working Group's (CCWG) recommendation #5 urges
the City to facilitate widespread installation of solar photo voltaic (PV) systems, thermal solar
(hot water) and other non fossil fuel-based renewable energy options on commercial, residential
and municipal facilities by developing and implementing a renewable energy conversion
program. As proposed, the "Solar & Energy Efficiency Conversion" (SEEC) program is
intended to help the average residential and commercial consumer overcome institutional
barriers, upfront capital costs and time constraints to installing renewable energy, water
conservation and energy efficiency upgrades. The program provides participants a cost-
effective, less time-consuming installation and financing option for upgrading their homes and
facilities, while creating a sustainable economic stimulus and job creation program for Chula
Vista. The program's primary components include (1) IdentifYing the energy and water
upgrades that help reduce ratepayers monthly costs, (2) Executing a competitive bid process that
identifies participating contractors and establishes maximum prices and minimum warranty and
service standards, (3) aggregating participants geographically to harness their collective
purchasing authority and maximize the potential for installation efficiency and savings, (4)
Establishing voluntarv special assessment districts to provide participants with a financing option
to fund their improvements, (5) Linking local vocational job training in energy and water
conservation with focused business recruitment and (6) Updating municipal codes to encourage
renewable energy and conservation product installations and to remove institutional barriers.
The proposed program is graphically summarized below:

IMPLEMENT AnON
The Department of Conservation & Environmental Services (CES) will administer the SEEC
Aggregation Blocks, Assessment Districts and Vocational Training/Job Creation components
with support from the Finance Department, Office of Budget & Analysis and Office of
Economic Development. CES will also work with Planning & Building Department to update
Title 20 Energy Conservation and Title 9.7 Water Conservation as well as related sections of the
City's Municipal Code. The implementation process for each component is outlined below:
Aggregation Blocks
The proposed program will geographically aggregate home and business owners who voluntarily
choose to retrofit their homes and businesses ,with ,energy and water efficiency upgrades and/or
install solar photovoltaic (electric) and solar hot water systems. By combining energy and water
efficiency upgrade options with solar panel installation, the consumer will be presented with
options that minimize their total project cost, maximize their monthly savings and emphasize a
balance of greenhouse gas (OHO) reductions and lifestyle choices (Appendix 0). Aggregating
block areas will also allow staff to naturally phase the program into the community on a block-
by-block basis and to adaptively manage its implementation.
CES will implement an open and competitive bid process to identifY contractors, who understand
the required local installation standards and are committed to assisting staff market the
energy/water efficiency upgrades and renewable energy systems to interested property owners.
Although the contract for installation work will be between the property owner and the City-
qualified contractor, the City will be able to add additional value to consumers by negotiating a
lower cost for equipment and installation, establishing minimum installation warranty, service
and liability standards, streamlining the contract, rebate application and permit process and
saving consumers the time associated with researching, analyzing and executing these phases of
their projects. Staff will work closely with the City Attorney's Office in establishing the
specialized contractor bid process or similar approach and staff anticipates that participating
contractors will be qualified through a 3rd party program such as the California Center for
Sustainable Energy, California Energy Commission, US Department of Energy and US
Environmental Protection Agency.
Initially, participating contractors would be assigned to a limited geographic area. Contractors,
who demonstrate high levels of service quality, customer outreach and' warranty support and
successfully meet the performance standards outlined in the competitive bid process, will be
permitted to expand into other geographic areas. Staff hopes to ensure that all geographic and
socio-economic sectors of the City receive equitable access to the program. The City will also
use aggregation to provide an incentive to ensure that equipment, materials and supplies are
purchased from a Chula Vista business that provides comprehensive warranty and service for
their supplies and equipment. Additionally, the City will use the competitive bid process to help
connect employers with the local vocational education program to foster growth in a new sector
of "clean technology" jobs and further reduce the program's carbon footprint by facilitating the
use of local labor.
Assessment Districts
The City will offer participating property owners the option of financing the energy and water
efficiency and renewable energy upgrades through a voluntary fee assessment. Participating
CCWG Implementation Plans (As Adopted by City Council)
July 1. 2008
28 of 58
2-31
property owners would add the costs of investing in energy and water improvements to their
property's tax roll (see Budget & Financing section for discussion of general bond issuance).
These costs will be paid back over time through semi-annual tax payments and can be structured
to be offset by the energy 'and water savings generated by the improvements chosen by the
participant. This process is designed to overcome the barrier of upfront costs for installing
renewable energy technologies which many industry experts and regulators have identified as a
significant barrier to broad renewable energy adoption. Participants would also have the option
of participating in the aggtegation process and funding the improvements on their own.
According to the County Tax Assessor, the energy and water efficiency upgrades and renewable
energy installations proposed by the progtam will not trigger a property tax re-appraisal.
Vocational Training & Job Creation
In coordination with Southwestern College and the local high school district, staff will link
vocational training opportunities with the program's implementation. Specifically, contractors
qualified by the City to perform energy efficient upgrades and solar energy installations (as part
of the SEEC Aggregation Blocks) will be encouraged to hire new employees from the vocational
education program as the program matures and produces qualified graduates. Staff will work
with the vocational education progtam, local contractors and local suppliers to establish
incentives in the bid and marketing assignment process to establish incentives for local hiring.
Staff will use the SEEC program as an economic stimulus and business recruitment tool for
Chula Vista. As previously mentioned, contractors qualified by the City to perform installations
will be required to purchase related program materials and equipment through a Chula Vista-
licensed business. Staff will use the SEEC progtam as leverage to recruit solar and energy
efficient equipment installers, distributors and manufacturers to establish a "clean technology"
business division within Chula Vista. In addition to generating employment opportunities and
sales tax revenues, the new business's proximity could lo\ver overall equipment, installation and
transportation costs and GHG impacts for SEEC program participants. Once the size of the
Chula Vista and regional market potential is established, staff will re-contact renewable energy
and water energy product manufacturers and suppliers about establishing manufacturing and
assembly plants within the Chula Vista and south San Diego County area.
Municioal Energv and Water Conservation Codes
Chula Vista's Municipal Code (20.04.030) requires that "all new residential units shall include
plumbing specifically designed to allow the later installation of a system which utilizes solar
energy as the primary means of heating domestic potable water" (Appendix H). To maximize
the effectiveness of the "Solar Hot Water Pre-plumbing Standard," staff will update the code to
include additional language about site orientation and solar access. Staff may also need to make
revisions to the City's Zoning Ordinance, accordingly. To expand opportunities for the cost-
effective installation of solar energy systems in the future, City staff will also develop an
amendment to the Municipal Code's Title 20 "Energy Conservation" section in order to require
pre-wiring for solar photovoltaic systems in new and remodeled residential units. The code
amendment will include specific guidance about site orientation and solar access. In addition,
the code will complement sections of the Municipal Building and Zoning Code being updated as
part of CCWG Measure #4 (Green Building Standard) which will likely address passive solar
building design, new solar photovoltaic installation, energy efficiency and gteen building
standards being promulgated by state and local agencies.

PERFORc'\1ANCE METRICS
The results of this program will be tracked on a project-by-project basis and summarized to
identitY its "net" impact on the City's GHG emissions reduction goal. Specifically, the Solar &
Energy Efficiency Conversion program's performance will be measured by a suite of metrics
including the number of energy efficiency improvements, participating homeslbusinesses, solar
systems installed, renewable generation kilowatts installed and the corresponding kWhlTherm
savings. Staff will also work with San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) and the California
Center for Sustainable Energy t.o quantitY the number and amount of incentive funds solicited as
a result of the program.
In the current greenhouse gas inventory protocol, the community's carbon emissions are directly
extrapolated from citywide energy use, which is provided in an aggregated format by SDG&E.
Because the SEEC program will improve energy efficiency and/or replace grid-source energy
with on-site renewable energy, it wiII lead to overall energy use reductions in existing individual
homes and businesses that participate in the program. Because the program is voluntary and
incentive driven, its final impact on citywide "net" GHG emission reductions will depend on the
level of community participation and the effectiveness of other CCWG Measures (such as the
Green Building Standard) to ensure that future growth is carbon neutral.
TIMELINE
Prior to enrolling interested property owners into the program, components #1 (Aggregation
Blocks) and #2 (Assessment Districts) would first require establishment of financing
mechanisms and a contractor bid process which is estimated to occur in summer 2009.
Component #3 (Vocational Training) would be integrated as the program is launched and
implemented. Local educators have estimated that it would take 2-3 years to establish a
curriculum and matriculate the first class of qualified energy efficiency/solar apprentices.
Finally, refining the current solar hot water standard and c'reating a solar electric pre-wiring code
(component #4) would take approximately 3-6 months and would require the necessary public
notice periods and public readings before Council action. The program's time line is below:

BUDGET & FlNAc'\[CING
The SEEC program's implementation cost (exclusive of energy efficiency and solar energy
equipment and installation) is estimated to be $347,800 per year in staffing, supplies and
services. An additional $75,000 may also be needed initially to provide resources to update and
create the aforementioned energy-related municipal codes. This program cost assumes full
funding of all seven CCWG measures and will leverage each measure's budget to provide partial
cost sharing of staff time and program materials. For example, staff enrolling homes and
businesses in the Solar & Energy Efficiency Conversion program will also promote the Turf
Lawn Conversion (CCWG Measure #7) program to property owners leading to lower
implementation costs for each program and increased program participation. A portion of each
measure's budget will also partially cover overall administrative and performance tracking costs
associated with the City's climate protection efforts. The program's budget is outlined below:

*Assumes cost sharing between CCWG Measures #3, 5 & 7 for staff time & program materials
**Budget does not include capital costs for solar & energy efficiency improvements (dependent on
participation levels)
To fund the program, staff is recommending that a combination of bond and local "fee authority"
funding be pursued. The bond would be used to cover the initial capital costs associated with
energy efficiency and solar retrofits for public/private facilities and will allow this measure to
establish an economy of scale that can maximize the benefits of aggregated and competitive
purchasing to reduce consumer and City costs. A fee authority would provide long-term,
sustainable funding for the program to supplement the initial bond authority and provide a
complementary revenue source to fund a portion of the costs for transitioning to on-site
renewable energy at City facilities. Both funding mechanisms will also be complemented by
local, state and federal rebates, tax incentives and credits. In addition, carbon emissions

MEASURE #6: SMART GROWTH AROUND TROLLEY ST A nONS
OVERVIEW
The City of Chula Vista Climate Change Working Group's (CCWG) recommendation #6 states
that the City should "facilitate 'smart growth' around the H St., E St. and Palomar St. troney
stations." This recommendation embodies the fact that smart growth lS typified by a compact,
efficient and environmentany sensitive pattern of development that provides housing,
employment; service uses and public facilities in a mixed-use format close to transit and other
modes of alternate transportation. This improves and promotes the ability to conveniently access
uses by walking and/or transit, thereby reducing automobile use and the associated burning of
fossil fuels that contribute to greenhouse gas production. Transportation emissions represent
approximately 48% of the Chula Vista community's carbon footprint, whereby reduction in
Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) through promoting pedestrian and transit friendly smart growth
environments, can have a meaningful effect on carbon emissions. .
The staff agenda report which accompanied the Climate Change Working Group's
recommendations also noted that Recommendation #6 would not require much further
implementation action because mixed-use, transit-oriented land use designations, policy and
zoning has already been incorporated into City planning documents for the subject areas; namely
the updated General Plan (GP) and the Urban Core Specific Plan (UCSP). While those plans
have been adopted, there are several work efforts necessary in order to move from those plans to
facilitate the envisioned smart growth development with the E, H and Palomar St. Transit Focus
Areas (TFAs). The four areas of work presented in this implementation plan include (1)
implementation of the UCSP through preparation of a framework plan for redevelopment of the
area around the E St. station, (2) completion of the H St. Corridor Study caned for in the General
Plan to address more detailed land use and transportation, planning provisions along H St. from
the trolley station east to Third Ave., (3) preparation ofSp'ecific Plans within the Southwest area,
and (4) other related regional efforts to prepare design studies for needed improvements along
the 1-5 corridor to serve the sites.
As described further in this document, some aspects of these four efforts are included in the
current Work Programs cif the involved Departments, while others will require further work
program and budget authorizations by Council.
IMPLEMENTATION
The Planning and Building Department win primarily administer the City's Smart Growth
planning and zoning efforts outlined below but will need to work, and is already working, in
partnership with the City's Redevelopment Agency and Housing Authority, Engineering
Department and others to develop and implement related plans, programs and projects. The
implementation process for each component is outlined below: -

I. Urban Core Soecific Plan Implementation
E Street Transit Focus Area / Galaxy ENA - The adopted General Plan identifies the area
surrounding the E St. trolley station as the E St. Transit Focus Area and calls for high
intensity mixed use development within the superblo"k between 1-5, F St., Woodlawn Ave.
and E St. The area was subsequently zoned as part of the UCSP's UC-15 District. While
much of the land area is owned by the City and NITS as part of the City's old corporation
yard and trolley station site respectively, there are several other privately held parcels.
Successful redevelopment as a high intensity TF A will require joint coordination and
planning for matters such as infrastructure, circulation, site design, building massing, and
parking.
The Chula Vista Redevelopment Corporation is currently under a 120-day Exclusive
Negotiating Agreement with Galaxy Commercial Holding, LLC to explore a transit-oriented
development project on the City's former corporation yard ("Corp Yard") located
immediately adjacent to the E Street Trolley Station. A premise of the ENA and
development of the Corp Yard site is that they will create momentum and market confidence
for private investment in the rest of the E Street Visitor Transit Focus Area ("TF A"). The
ENA requires a Comprehensive Site Design Study to consider such factors as the City's
adopted land use plans and policies, adjacent land ownerships and property interests in the
subdistrict, parcel configurations, circulation and traffic patterns, environmental factors,
plans for regional transportation facilities, Bayfront planning and redevelopment activities,
and public input. The Study will also include proposed Floor Area Ratio ("FAR")
distributions, phasing strategies and pedestrian and vehicular circulation patterns on the
Property and surrounding properties within the UC-15 Subdistrict, along with site plans

depicting Developer's proposed development scenarios. Staff is currently working with
Galaxy on the Study and their project development proposals which are due between now
and mid-July 2008 when the current ENA period expires. Based on progress of the work, the
Agency will then need to consider whether to extend the ENA:
2-D Visual Simulations of E Street TFA - As part .of SANDAG's Smart Growth
Implementation program, the City has recently received grants for the preparation of
computer visual simulation models for both the E Street TF A and the H Street Corridor.
Under the grants, SANDAG's consultant Urban Advantage will prepare a computer
generated visual simulation of urban redevelopment of the E St. TF A. From a chosen
vantage point at E St and Woodlawn Ave., the computer simulation will depict photo-
realistic phased development intensification of the area consistent with the GP and UCSP
visions. The simulation will assist staff in working with the public and decision makers to
better envision and understand how urban redevelopment of the site may look, particularly
from the standpoint of building massing and building heights.
Initial work by the consultant Urban Advantage has been completed, and staff is currently
reviewing a draft of the modeling work. A final product will be available by July 2008.
2. H Street Corridor Studv
Urban Land Institute Program - The December 2005 General Plan designates the H St.
corridor between the H St. trolley station and Third Ave. as a Study Area. H St. serves asthe
major commercial and office corridor connecting the Bayfront and the H Street TF A with the
downtown Third A venue area. Considering the large property ownerships and potential for
expansions and redevelopment involving the South County Court House, Scripps Hospital,
Chula Vista Center, and a new hoteVconvention center on the Bay Front, H Street provides
great opportunity for revitalization. While the General Plan and UCSP provided a
framework, they did not provide a cohesive road map to physically and economically
proceed with actual redevelopment including land assembly, parcel configuration,
environmental factors, floor area ratio (FAR) distributions, circulation and traffic patterns,
and plans for regional transportation facilities.
In order to move development efforts forward, the Redevelopment Agency is currently
pursuing sponsorship of an Urban Land Institute's (ULI) panel that will bring planning and
real estate experts to Chula Vista to conduct a five-day Advisory Services Program. The
Program will use a public charrette-type process to identifY and address relevant
issues/challenges, and provide an implementation strategy for the revitalization of the
Corridor. From staffs perspective, the process will playa key role in working to bring the
community together on a workable vision for pursuing projects within the Corridor. Staff
will be coming forward to the Agency on July 22, 2008 to appropriate $120,000 to fund the
ULI program. If approved, the ULI program is currently anticipated to take place the week
of October 12 - 17, 2008.
Potential General Plan and/or UCSP amendments - Dependent upon the outcomes of the
ULI program, it may be necessary to undertake revisions to the General Plan and/or UCSP to
effect land use and regulatory changes to support desired redevelopment. Following the
October session, staff would need approximately 45 days to develop a work program for any
CCWG Implementation Plans (As Adopted by City Council)
July I. 2008
350f58
2-38
potential GP and/or UCSP amendments, and could return to Council in January 2009 to
present that. Dependent upon the nature and extent of the potential amendments, it could
take 6 to 9 months or more to complete them, with staff returning for Planning Commission
and Council public hearing consideration of amendments beginning no sooner than Fall
2009.
3-D Visual Simulations of H Street Corridor - As noted above, the City also received a
SANDAG grant for consultant Urban Advantage to prepare a photo-realistic visual
simulation of a redeveloped H Street corridor. Staff currently intends to tie the visualization
work to completion of the ULI effort, whereby the SANDAG modeling efforts would
incorporate land use and building form outputs from the ULI charretle, and provide 3-D
visual imaging of the potential redevelopment of the Corridor to enhance public
understanding and build support for subsequent planning and project work. Staff has already
begun work with SANDAG's consultant with regard to their scanning and input of base
information of existing conditions. Completion of the modeling would take place during
November and December 2008.
3. Preparation of Southwest Specific Planes)
With regard to the Palomar Gateway TF A, the General Plan calls for the preparation of a
Specific Plan or other comprehensive zoning and design tool to carry out urban revitalization
and redevelopment within the TF A which includes the Palomar' trolley station and
surrounding areas. The General Plan also identified the need for Specific Plans in several
additional locations within the Southwest Planning Area. While current Planning and
Building Department work programs generally identify the need for these Plans, there is not
available staffing, consulting and budget resources available to prepare them. The shaping of
those work programs and budgets will also depenc;l on whether one overall Southwest
Specific Plan is undertaken, or as staff currently envisions, the preparation of individual,
smaller Specific Plans focused on particular areas such as the Palomar TF A.
Southwest United in Action program priority setting - Prior to proceeding with further
detail work program and budget planning for Specific Plans, staff is currently engaged in
completing the first phases of the Southwest United in Action (SUA) program to gauge the
range of community issues, and related community priorities. Initial community inputs on
issues were solicited at a Community Convention on March 15, 2008, and staff will be
holding a second Community Convention on June 21,2008, to solicit input on action items
that are most important to the community, including preparation of Specific Plans. Stiff will
subsequently return to Council by fall 2008 to present community priority inputs.
Palomar Gateway TF A Specific Plan - Should the community identify a priority for
preparation of this Specific Plan through the above SUA work, and upon subsequent
direction from the City Council, staff will prepare a work program and budget for a Palomar
Gateway TF A Specific Plan for review and consideration by Council. Some work towards a
Specific Plan for this area (entitled the Palomar Gateway Conceptual Design Study) was
prepared during the General Plan Update, and could be used to jump start the effort. If Plan
preparation is identified as a community priority, and supported by Council, it would take
approximately 60 days for staff to return with a work program and budget proposal.
Assuming Council considers and provides direction on community priorities by the end of
CCWG Implementation Plans (As Adopted by City Council)
July 1,2008
36 of 58
2-39
2008, staff could return the work program for consideration by March 2009 as part of the
FY09-10 budget proposals. If approved, preparation of a Specific Plan would take
approximately 12-18 months and could commence after July 2009.
4. Other Related Regional Efforts
There are also two major regional efforts that must be undertaken and completed in order to
ultimately develop and build out the smart growth land use plans and intensities for the
trolley station areas, particularly those at E St. and H St. These include undertaking the 1-5
Corridor Study with SAt'lDA0, and securing a funding program for the grade separation of
the trolley crossings at E and H Streets.
1-5 Corridor Study - This Corridor Study is a needed prerequisite in the planning and design
of future transportation improvements along the 1-5 corridor necessary to ultimately serve
development in western Chula Vista and the Bayfront. The improvements would encompass
highway travel lanes, HOV and transit, as well as reconfiguration of ramping, the bridge
decks, and grade separation of the trolley crossing at E and H Streets. Considerations for one
component affect the rest, and the Corridor Study serves as a mechanism to review and
address the interrelationships prior to proceeding with the next phases of design.
Staff began meeting almost two years ago with SANDAG regarding the scoping, cost and
timing for the work, and has since developed a work program and budget with SANDAG and
Caltrans. The Study has a matching component for Chula Vista. Staff has been working
with Congressman Filner's office over the last year to see through legislation that was
approved on June 6, 2008, that redesignated approximately $2 million in federal SAI'ETEA-
LU funds to cover our matching component. SANDAG, Caltrans and City staff will now be
refining the scope of work. The Corridor Study project was defined as a project in the
Western CV TOlI' program approved by Council in March 2008. The 24-month Study will
commence in FY08-09, with completion anticipated by I'Y 2010-11.
Trolley Grade Separation funding - Grade separation of the trolley crossings at both E St.
and H St. will be needed to accommodate urban development intensification in western
Chula Vista by allowing traffic to access and cross 1-5 absent the current impediment of the
trolley gates. This also affects the design for redevelopment at both of these IF As. Costs for
the separations are estimated at $36 million for H St. and $40 million for E St. SANDAG
has identified funding for approximately 50% of the costs, while 28% of the costs are
identified as ultimately being funded through the WCV TDIF approved by Council in March
2008. Staff is currently working with SANDAG to make grant applications to the State for
additional funding, and requires a letter of approval from the Mayor to make the application
that is due by June 19, 2008. Notification of any grant awards is anticipated in Sept./Oct.
2008, and staff will report back to Council at that time. In the event that sufficient grant
monies are not received, staff will need to work with the Council to identify and pursue other
sources.

Implementation comoonent #1 - the E St. TFA Framework Plan is due to the City from
Galaxy by mid-July 2008 per the current ENA. This includes their development of an initial
site plan for development of the City's prior corporation yard site. Ifmore time is needed or
desired, the Agency would need to extend the ENA. The 2-D visual simulation work with
SANDAG will be completed by July 2008.
Implementation component #2 - The request for Agency funding of the ULI Study will be
brought forward on July 22, 2008. If approved, the ULI activities would be conducted during
the week of October 12- I 7, 2008. Based on outcomes of the ULI efforts, any desired
General Plan and/or UCSP amendments would take a minimum of approximately 6 to 9
months to complete, with the earliest hearings starting in fall 2009. Per agreements with
CCWG Implementation Plans (As Adopted by City Council)

Implementation component #3 - If identified as a community priority through the SUA work
by August 2008, the earliest a work program and budget for a Palomar Gateway Specific
Plan could be returned for Council consideration would be November 2008. If authorized,
preparation of the Specific Plan would take 12 to 18 months. Assuming a January 2009 start,
the earliest time for completion would be spring 2010.
Implementation component #4 - Work program and funding clarifications with SANDAG for
the 1-5 Corridor Study are anticipated over the next 2 months, with the Study getting
underway in FY2008-09. The 24-month Study would be anticipated for completion some
time in FY20 I 0-11. State grant applications for trolley grade separation funding are due
June 19. Notification on grant awards is currently scheduled for Sept./Oct. 2008.
BUDGET
Costs associated with carrying out implementation are comprised of several components, some
of which are funded and budgeted, and others which will require future budget and funding
considerations as follows:
Implementation component #1
Galaxy Framework Plan and Corp Yard Site Plan; privately funded.
2-D Visual Simulation; SANDAG consultant services (grant)
Implementation component #2
ULI Program; $120,000 funding to be requested from Redevelopment Agency.

MEASURE #7: TURF LAWN CONVERSION
OVERVIEW
The City ofChula Vista Climate Change Working Group's (CCWG) recommendation #7 states
that the City should "coordinate with Otay Water District, San Diego County Water Authority
and the Sweetwater Authority on turf lawn conversions for commercial and residential
properties." The measure was intended to help residents and businesses replace turf lawn areas
with drought-tolerant plants (commonly referred to as "xeriscape" or "California-Friendly"
landscaping). Pumping and treating water throughout California requires' large amounts of
energy and subsequently is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. The proposed
outdoor water conservation program complements the local water districts' efforts and builds
upon the City's existing NatureScape program. Specifically, the program's components include
(I) continuation and expansion of the NatureScape program to promote water conserving and
nature-friendly landscaping, (2) coupling of residential and business turf lawn replacement with
the solar conversion aggregation block process (Measure #5), (3) converting select municipal
facilities to low water use plantings and irrigation, and (4) updating various municipal landscape
regulations and guidelines to comply with new state requirements and further promote outdoor
water use efficiency. Components #1 and #2 would be voluntary and would be available to all
Chula Vista residents and businesses, while Component #3 would apply only to City properties
and rights-of-way. Component #4 would apply to new developments through updated municipal
regulations. The proposed outdoor water conservation program is graphically summarized
below:

IMPLEMENT A TION
The Department of Conservation & Environmental Services will administer the NatureScape and
Residential & Business Turf Conversion components, while the Planning & Building
Department and Engineering Department will coordinate the update of the City's landscape
regulations. In addition, the Engineering Department will coordinate the Municipal Facilities
Turf Conversion. All departments will work closely together to implement outreach and
marketing efforts to maximize the program's cost effectiveness. The implementation process for
each component is outlined below:
N atureScape Certified Properties
The current NatureScape program works to promote nature-friendly gardening and
landscaping throughout the community by educating property owners and "certifying"
their properties. Specifically, residents and businesses that voluntarily elect to participate
in the program receive, at no cost, an on-site assessment by a City staff member who
reviews their landscaping for the presence of food, water and cover for wildlife and the
incorporation of water-conserving features such as low water-use plants, mulching and
water efficient irrigation. Staff also educates participants about possible water-saving
improvements and available incentives and rebates, if applicable. Residential or business
properties who successfully meet the program's criteria are certified through the National
Wildlife Federation's "Backyard Wildlife Habitat" program and receive an aluminum
yard sign and certificate. The current program was developed and is being implemented
with the support ofOtay Water District, Sweerwater Authority, Chula Vista Garden Club,
Bonita Valley Garden Club, UC Master Gardeners and the South Bay Y1v!CA Earth
Service Corps.
As part of CCWG Recommendation #7's implementation, the current NatureScape
program would be continued and expanded through additional staff and program funding
for supplies and services. The new program would reach a broader audience through
comprehensive marketing efforts and produce greater water savings (and related energy
savings) through increased staff technical support and program participation. The
program will also engage the community through creation of water-saving garden and
landscape demonstration sites at various community locations. The program would
continue to collaborate closely with the local water districts to leverage resources and to
increase the program's cost effectiveness adding value for participants. The program's
goal is to be the community with the highest number of certified properties in the United
States.
Residential & Business Turf Conversions
Similar to the Solar & Energy Efficiency Conversion program (Measure #5), the
proposed program will aggregate existing homes and businesses who are interested in
replacing portions of their turf lawn areas with water-saving plant palettes and irrigation
systems. Through a competitive bid or negotiation process, a single or multiple
contractors will assist City staff in enrolling interested property owners and installing
more water-efficient landscaping. By aggregating the participants, the City will be able.
to negotiate a lower cost (on a per square footage basis) for program participants. Staff
will also be able to help reduce participants' costs by streamlining the application process
for applicable incentives offered through Otay Water District, Sweerwater Authority, San
CCWG Implementation Plans (As Adopted by City Council)
July 1,2008
42 of 58
2-45
Diego County Water Authority and the Metropolitan Water District of Southern
California.
The aggregated bid process will allow the City to ensure that the contractor is using
appropriate plant material and irrigation equipment purchased from a business located
within Chula Vista, providing a comprehensive warranty for their supplies and services
and following proper municipal landscape plan approval procedures. To further
maximize water use efficiency, participating businesses and homeowners may also elect
to have the contractor replace old interior water fixtures and toilets with new water-
saving models (see Measure #5). This approach satisfies real estate and developer
representatives' request to not use change of property ownership to trigger mandatory
retrofits of indoor plumbing fixtures.
Municipal Facilities Turf Conversions
The proposed program aims to replace turf lawn areas at select municipal sites with
water-saving plants and irrigation systems. In addition to reducing the City's water costs,
the re-Iandscaped areas will further provide a public demonstration of water-conserving
landscape design principles and may reduce landscape maintenance costs. Selected
municipal sites would be limited to turf lawn areas which are not actively used by the
public for recreation and would potentially include certain municipal buildings, park
areas, medians and public rights-of-way.
Landscape Regulations Update & Outreach
By January 1, 2009 the Department of Water Resources (DWR) will be releasing an
updated Model Landscape Ordinance, which outlines statewide water-conserving
landscape design criteria. Local governments will be required to adopt the model
ordinance or develop a new ordinance that is at least as effective as the statewide model
ordinance by January 1,2010. The ordinance would generally apply to landscaping for
all new developments over 2,500 ft2 in area and to re-Iandscaping of some existing
properties (certain property types are exempt), and would base design thresholds on a
maximum water allowance.
Outdoor water use throughout Chula Vista is mainly regulated through the City's
Landscape Manual which outlines landscaping and irrigation requirements for all public
projects and certain private projects and the Water Conservation Plan Guidelines which
outlines water-conserving measures that need to be integrated into Sectional Planning
Area (SPA) Plans, Tentative Subdivision Maps and major development projects with at
least 50 dwelling units or equivalent water demand. The proposed program would
provide funding for City staff to update these existing municipal regulations to meet and
potentially exceed the new statewide Model Landscape Ordinance. The updated
regulations would strongly emphasize additional outdoor water savings by further
minimizing turf lawn areas, using water-wise plant types and installing weather-based
and low-water irrigation systems.
The program component ;vill also involve actively educating Chula Vista residents,
businesses and developers of the new landscape regulations. Outreach efforts will also
help disseminate information about California Assembly Bill (AB) 1881 which made it
CCWG Implementation Plans (As Adopted by City Council)
July t, 2008
43 of 58
2-46
unlawful for homeowner associations that run common interest developments to restrict
the use of low water-using plants through covenants, conditions and restrictions (CC&Rs)
if the plants meet maintenance standards. Although the new law has been enacted,
residents continue to face challenges in obtaining approval from HOAs for the
installation of low water-use plant palettes and many HOAs remain unaware of the new
legislation. Associations will be informed about AB 1881 and will also be encouraged to
participate in and promote the City's water-saving programs to their residents.
PERFORMANCE METRICS
The program performance for all four components - NatureScape, Residential & Business Turf
Conversion, Municipal Facilities Turf Conversion and Landscape Regulations Update - will be
measured by a suite of metrics. The NatureScape and Residential & Business Turf Conversion
components will be assessed based on the number of participants, square footage of landscaping
certified/converted and the resulting estimated water savings. The Municipal Turf Conversion
component will also be evaluated based on the square footage of landscaping converted and the
estimated water savings. Actual water savings from program implementation may also be
quantifiable through the assistance of the local water districts. The Landscape Regulations
Update will be evaluated based on its incorporation of new water-conserving landscape design
elements that comply with new state regulations, if approved and implemented by City Council.
In relation to the City's current greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory protocol, emissions from water
use (i.e. energy used to import, treat and dispose of water) are not directly quantified, rather the
protocol only includes emissions from energy associated with locally pumping and treating water
within municipal boundaries. However, City staff will be able to estimate the program's carbon
reductions based on the California Energy Commission's kWh per gallon conversion factor
currently in development. Likewise, staff is now worki.ng with the California Air Resources
Board, ICLEI and the California Climate Action Registry to develop new local government GHG
emissions protocols which would integrate water use into emissions estimates.
TIMELINE
Component #1 (NatureScape), #2 (Residential & Business Turf Conversion) and #3's (Municipal
Facilities Turf Conversion) implementation could be commenced within a few months after
receiving Council approval and the necessary ftmding. Finally, the Landscape Regulations
Update (#4) could commence immediately, but would require evaluation of DWR's model
ordinance (released on January I, 2009) before development of a City-specific standard and
revisions to the Landscape Manual and the Water Conservation Plan Guidelines (estimated to
take 6 months) could occur. In addition, Council action on a new landscape ordinance, if
deemed necessary, would require public notice and public readings before formal adoption. The
program's timeline is summarized below:

BUDGET
The annual program costs associated with the NatureScape and Residential & Business Turf
Conversion components combined are $202,800. It is estimated that the Municipal Facilities
Turf Conversion would cost $300,000 annually, while the Landscape Regulations Update
component is estimated to cost $156,380. These cost ,estimates would cover all personnel,
supplies and services. These program costs assume full funding of all seven CCWG measures
and will leverage each measure's budget to partially cover administrative and performance
tracking costs. While components # 1 and #2 would need funding indefinitely to maintain them, ,
the Landscape Regulations Update component would only continue until the ordinance was
developed and possibly adopted (approximately through CY 201O)~ However, the State's
proposed Model Water Conservation Ordinance includes a requirement for ongoing community
water auditing generating a need for an extra Open Space Division staff person estimated at
$202,350 annually. The Municipal Facilities Turf Conversion would continue only until all
selected sites had been re-Iandscaped with water-saving plants and efficient irrigation systems.
Implementation costs would be partially offset by available water district incentives. In addition,
municipal water cost savings would average approximately $7,900 annually for every acre of turf
lawn area converted to water-wise landscaping. There are potentially a variety of possible
funding sources for Measure #7 including a carbon offset fee, franchise fee, local fee authority
and a general obligation bond. The program's budget is outlined below:

FINANCING OPTIONS
To fund the program, staff has identified and analyzed a variety of financing options
(summarized in Table 3) to support the seven measures and their budgets estimated at
$1,479,380 in one-time costs and $2,419,150 in annual costs. These budgets include costs
associated with staff time, materials and contractor services to implement the programs as well
as capital improvement projects. . Additional costs associated with providing upfront capital for
residents and businesses to install renewable and energy-efficiency improvements (Measure #5)
is not included and would be dependent on the level of community program participation, but
could easily reach $50,000,000 over 5-10 years (assumes 5,000 homeslbusinesses participating at
$10,000 per property). If additional funds are not secured, there would be significant
implications on the level ofimplementation possible for the seven measures (Table 4).
As a result, staff is recommending that the City pursue a variety of funding sources to meet both
the long-term, ongoing program management costs as well as the short-term, large upfront
capital improvement costs required to implement the seven measures. Sustainable, long-term
funding could be secured through establishment of a "local fee authority" and/or increasing the
City's energy franchise fee. A local fee authority has been granted in the past by the state
legislature to enable local governments to fund environmental programs and services. For
example, Chula Vista received fee authority under Assembly Bill 939 to fund municipal solid
waste, recycling and household hazardous waste programs. To secure funding for the seven
proposed climate-related programs, the City could engage state representatives to pursue
legislation allowing fee authority for local greenhouse gas emissions reduction efforts. The
City's current energy franchise fee - paid by SDG&E (and passed through to the customer) for
the nonexclusive right to install and maintain equipment qn highways, streets or public rights of
way - is 1.25% and 2% of citywide annual gross electricity and natural gas revenues,
respectively. In 2002, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) approved a SDG&E
franchise fee increase for the City of San Diego of 3.53% (electricity revenues) in order to
underground power lines in residential areas. Chula Vista could pursue CPUC approval to
increase the City's energy franchise fees to support its greenhouse gas reduction efforts.
Because a local fee authority and franchise fees are based on each individual ratepayer's
consumption level, both funding mechanisms also help promote energy conservation in the
community by rewarding ratepayers who consume less energy with lower fee amounts. Both
potential revenue sources would be used to reimburse the City for staff time and materials costs
associated with ongoing program implementation and reporting.
Unlike a local fee authority or franchise fee, a public bond issued by the City and secured
through increased sales tax, transient occupancy ta.'( and/or property taxes could quickly provide
large, upfront capital improvement funds required to implement some of the seven measures.
The bonds could have two specific applications: (I) provide capital funds for energy efficiency
and solar retrofits for residential and business facilities (Measure #5) and (2) provide funds for
public purpose climate-related programs such as municipal renewable energy installation,
alternative fuel fleet improvements and turf conversion. Under application #1, participating
property owners would elect to be part of a special assessment district and their increased
property fees would be applied to the bond's debt service. Under application #2, all Chula Vista
property owners would vote in a general election whether to authorize a municipal bond issuance

Table 3: Summary of financing options and their applicability to the CCWG measures
Building Permit
Fees
The City's building permit fees could be increased
to cover the additional costs associated with
implementing a citywide, mandatory green building
standard.
Carbon Offset
Fee
A fee for developers and builders to "offset" their
carbon emissions if they are unable to meet
citywide, green building standards.
Franchise Fee
The City's franchise fee with SOG&E for gross
electricity and natural gas delivery could be
increased (currently at 1.25% and 2% of citywide
annual gross electricity and natural gas receipts,
respectively).
Grants
Grant funding could be solicited from local, state
and federal agencies.
Local Fee
Authority
A fee authority would enable the City to place a
local surcharge on utility bills and would require
state legislature approval.
Because there is a nexus between permit fee revenues
and city development levels, permit fees may not
provide a consistent funding source. Therefore, it may
be more useful as a supplement to another long-term
funding source.
4,5
These funds would be used to pay for on-the-ground
energy efficiency, renewable energy and alternative fuel
vehicle improvement projects. The fund could also be
incorporated into the CEOA project review and
mitigation process.

Currently, the City of San Diego has a higher SOG&E
franchise fee than Chula Vista (5.78% of electricity and
1.03% of natural gas revenues).
All - Staff & Resources
1, 5, 7 - Public Improvements
Grant funding is typically short-lived and project~specific
(Le. not for ongoing programs). Therefore, it may be
more useful as a suppiement to another long-term
funding source.
All
Similar to how AB 939 created a fee authority for local
governments to fund solid waste/recycling programs,
the City could pursue local fee authority for greennouse
gas emissions reduction programs. The City would
need to engage local state legislators to pursue tile fee
authority.

.Additional research IS needed to ensure that City is in compliance with Proposition 218 and applicable tax laws
and assess themselves an additional fee to repay the debt service. The amortization schedule for
either bond application is estimated to be between 10-15 years (solar energy systems are required
by State legislation to have at least 25-year warranties). Staff is recommending that the fee
assessment be structured to include solar energy system replacement costs adding extra value for
program participants and ensuring an economically and environmentally sustainable future.
Other potential furiding sources for the seven climate-related measures include establishing a
City-controlled carbon offset fund, increasing building permit fees and applying for public
grants. As part of the City's CEQA environmental review process and new Green Building
Standard (Measure #4), the City could create a fee system for developers and builders to "offset"
CCWG Implementation Plans (As Adopted by City Council)
July t, 2008
48 of 58
2-51
their carbon emissions if they are unable to meet CEQA significance thresholds for a project's
greenhouse gas emissions impacts or comply with the new citywide building standards. These
funds would be used to subsidize on-the-ground energy efficiency, renewable energy and
alternative fuel vehicle improvements at municipal facilities or within existing building stock
preferably targeting lower income families and service institutions. Increasing building permit
fees would have a more limited application and be mainly used to cover the additional costs
associated with administering a citywide, mandatory green building standard. It should be noted
that both CEQA reviews and permit fees are directly linked to development levels and may not
provide consistent, long-term funding. Finally, grant funds could be solicited from local, state
and national sources, but the funds are typically short-lived and project-specific (i.e. not for
ongoing programs). Therefore, staff recommends that a carbon offset fund, increased building
permit fees and public grant funds be pursued as part of the measures' financing strategy, but
should be used primarily to supplement other long-term funding sources such as a local fee
authority or a franchise fee increase.

IMPLEMENTATION COORDINATION, EMISSIONS TRACKING & REPORTING
While various departments will be responsible for implementing the specific measures (see
individual implementation plans for details on departmental roles and responsibilities), the
Department of Conservation & Environmental Services will coordinate overall measurement,
evaluation and reporting of the seven climate protection measures and the resulting greenhouse'
gas emissions reductions. The primary tool for tracking the emissions reductions will continue
to be an annual, citywide greenhouse gas emissions inventory with technical assistance provided
by rCLEr and the California Climate Action Registry. Staff is currently working with rCLEr, the
California Air Resources Board and the California Climate Action Registry to develop a more
robust emissions protocol specifically for local governments. With the new protocol, staff will
be able to more accurately track and report the impacts of the seven climate protection measures.
The City will also begin to participate in the verification process under the California Climate
Action Registry program. Verification is performed by an approved third-party contractor to
insure that the emissions data is accurate, transparent and consistent with all reporting guidelines.
Participation in the California Climate Action Registry will help the City measure and manage
emissions from municipal operations and facilities, while preparing Chula Vista for potential
new regulations under the California Global Warming Solutions Act (AB32). Registry
participation will also enable Chula Vista to document carbon reductions for consideration under
any future emissions trading system.
The annual cost for implementation coordination, emissions tracking and reporting is estimated
to be $93,300. This cost assumes full funding for CCWG measures #3, 5 and 7 in order to
partially cover these administrative and performance tracking costs. The program's annual
budget is outlined below:

SUMlVL<ill.Y
Community Facilities District No. 07-1 was formed to provide the financing for streets and
infrastructure for Otay Ranch Village 11 or "WindingWalk" (see Figure 1). The developer,
Brookfield Shea Otay, has requested that funds, previously budgeted for major roads on the
perimeter of the project (roads within the Transportation Development Impact Fee program), be
used for backbone roads within the project. The Second Supplemental Bond Indenture under
consideration tonight will provide for this action. Staff worked with Warren Diven of Best Best
and Krieger, LLP to prepare the resolutions and staffreport for this item.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Environmental Review Coordinator has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with
the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the proposed fiscal
activity is not a "Project" as defined under Section l5378(b)(4) of the State CEQA Guidelines
and would not result in a potentially significant physical effect on the environment. Therefore,
pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines the activity is not subject to
.CEQA. Thus, no environmental review is necessary.
RECOMMENDATION
Council adopt the resolution.
BOARDS/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
Not applicable.

DISCUSSION
On November 11,2003, the City Council formed Community Facilities District No. 07-1 (CFD
07-1) for the purpose of providing for the financing and acquisition of certain authorized public
facilities associated with Otay Ranch Village 11, Windingwalk. On April 20, 2004, per
Resolution No. 2004-113, the City Council approved the issuance of bonds and the
Acquisition/Financing Agreement (MA) for CFD 07-1 that established the procedure for
acquiring authorized public facilities from Brookfield Shea Otay LLC (BSO).
In 2004 the District and U.S. Bank National Association (the "Fiscal Agent") entered imo a
Bond Indenture (the "Original Indenture") that provided for the issuance of the 2004 Special Tax
Bonds (the "2004 Bonds"). In 2006 the Original Indenture was amended by a First Supplemental
Bond Indenture that provided for the issuance of the 2004 Special Tax Bonds (the "2006 Bonds"
and, together with the 2004 Bonds, the "Bonds") (the Original Indenture as amended shall be
referred to as, the "Indenture"). Pursuant to Section 3.05C of the Indenture, proceeds of the 2004
Bonds and 2006 Bonds were deposited into both the Transportation Facilities Account (to pay
for the acquisition of TDIF eligible facilities) and the Acquisition Account (to pay for the
acquisition ofnon-TDIF eligible facilities).
All of the proceeds of the Bonds originally deposited in the Acquisition Account have been used
to pay for the acquisition of non- TDIF facilities. Consequently, no funds are available to pay for
the acquisition of additional non- TDIF facilities that have been constructed and are eligible to be
acquired with the proceeds of the Bonds. Brookfield Shea Otay has approached the City and has
requested that $1,043,352 be transferred from the Transportation Facilities Account to the
Acquisition Account to enable such funds to be used to acquire such additional non-TDIF
facilities. Such a transfer would leave approximately $919,000 in the Transportation Facilities
Account.
The Indenture does not currently provide for the transfer of funds from the Transportation
Facilities Account to the Acquisition Account until all TDIF facilities to be funded from the
proceeds of the have been constructed. One such facility, the widening of Otay Lakes Road in
front of Southwestern College, has not been constructed to date and will be constructed by the
City as a Capital Improvement Project (CIP) using TDIF funds, in part provided by the developer
with the issuance of each building permit, and funds on deposit in the Transportation Facilities
Account. It is anticipated, however, that such construction will not be completed until January of
2011. The projected completion date of such project will result in a corresponding delay in the
transfer of any remaining funds on deposit in the Transportation Facilities Account to the
Acquisition Account and the availability of such funds to acquire additional non- TDIF facilities.
Approval of the Second Supplemental Bond Indenture will allow for the current transfer of
excess funds in the Transportation Facilities Account to the Acquisition Account to provide for
the acquisition of completed non-TDIF facilities sooner by not requiring the completion of Otay
Lakes Road before such funds can be transferred from the Transportation Facilities Account.
4-2
10/21/08, Item~
Page 3 of 3
This action will have no effect on the funding or the delivery schedule for the Otay Lakes Road
Project.
Staff recommends approval of this action because there is a large backlog of eligible,
unreimbursed non-TO IF facilities that have been constructed by the developer. These facilities
would be acquired by the district from the excess funds transferred from the Transportation
Facilities Account to the Acquisition Account.
Requirements for Approval of a Supplemental Indenture
Section 5.01 of the Indenture authorizes the City Council to approve a Supplemental Indenture
without the consent of the bond owners to modify, alter, amend or supplement the Indenture in
any respect, which is not materially adverse to the interests of the bond owners. The excess
funds on deposit in the Transportation Facilities Account may be used for the direct benefit the
bond owners only after final payment for or reimbursement of all costs of acquisition of TOIF
facilitles and all non-TO IF facilities eligible to be paid from the proceeds of the Bonds. The
aggregate cost of the TOIF facilities and non- TO IF facilities eligible to be paid from such Bond
proceeds exceeds the amount on deposit in the Transportation Facilities Account. Therefore,
such funds will never become available to benefit the bond owners. For such reason, the
amendment of the Indenture to authorize the current transfer of designated funds from the
Transportation Facilities Account to the Acquisitions Account will not be materially adverse to
the interests of the bond owners.
DECISION MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the property holdings onhe City Council and has found no property holdings
within 500 feet of the boundaries of the property, which is the subject of this action.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no impact to the City's General Fund. Payment of the eligible non-TOIF facilities will
be paid out ofCFO 07-1 Bond Proceeds. All costs associated with the processing of the Second
Supplemental Bond Indenture were paid by the developer.

ENVIRONMENTAL REvlEW
The Envirorunental Review Coordinator has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with the
California Envirorunental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that filing of the fiscal year
2007/08 annual fmancial status report is not a "Project" as defined under Section 15378 of the State
CEQA Guidelines because it will not result in a physical change to the envirorunent; therefore,
pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines the actions proposed are not subject
to CEQA.
RECOMMENDATION

October 21, 2008, Item 5
This report is provided in order to meet the City Charter requirement of publishing the City's
Combined Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and changes in Fund Equity (Attachment D) in
the local newspaper within 120 days of the close of the fiscal year. The statement is scheduled
for publication in the October 24th issue of The Star News, which is the City's adjudicated
newspaper of general circulation.
We will provide the Council \v1th a complete report of fiscal year 2007/08 financial data upon
presentation of the City's audited Comprehensive l\nnual Financial Repon.
The General Fund began fiscal year 2007/08 with an available fund balance or reserve of $10.4
million. We are projecting that the ending available timd balance for fiscal year 2007/08 to be
approximately $9.3 million, which is a $1.1 million reduction. Available fund balance or reserve
is generally defined as the balance of resources currently available for appropriation and
therefore, does not include legally required reserves, designations for capital improvement
projects or reserves for encumbrances or advances.
Actual Expenditures and Transfers-Out for the year amounted to $154.3 million, supponed by
Actual Revenues and Transfers-In of $153.2 million, a net effect (decrease) to available fund
balance of $1.1 million. Schedules A and B are summary statements of actual revenues and
expenditures for fiscal year 2007/08.
The graph displays the fiscal year beginning reserve balance compared to prior years. The
available fund balance has decreased trom 6.3% to 6.1 % of the General Fund budget, which is
below the Council Policy reserve level of 8 percent.

Attachment 0 is an unaudited Summary Report of Revenue, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund
Equity (excluding the Redevelopment Agency, Trust Funds and the Public Financing Authority)
for the tiscal year ended June 30, 2008. Please note that the column titled "General Funds"
5-2
October 21, 2008, Item 5
includes not only the General Fund, but also other Funds such as self-insurance reserves, which
are combined with the General Fund for tinancial reporting purposes. As required by Charter.
Section 504 (t), this statement will be published in the local newspaper as discussed above.
Total Fund Balance for all Funds (excluding Trust Funds, Redevelopment Agency and the Public
Financing Authority), including legally required reserves and other reservations of Fund
Balance, increased by $137.1 million or 65.5% during fiscal year 2007/08 to $346.4 million.
The large increase is due to a change in accounting method for the Sewer Funds. The Sewer
Funds are now classified as an Enterprise Fund (from Special Revenue in prior years). This
change in accounting method requires that all fixed assets of the Enterprise Fund be included on
the financial statement, which is not an accounting requirement for Special Revenue Funds. Had
the Sewer Funds not been reclassified then there would have been a decrease of $8.0 million or
3.8% in Total Fund Balance tor all Funds. A full analysis of the City's various funds will be
provided in the Management's Discussion and Analysis section of the Comprehensive Annual
Financial Report.
The detailed data supporting this infonnation is quite voluminous, but is available at your
request. The published Comprehensive i\nnual Financial Repolt (CAFR) including the opinion
of the independent auditors should also be available within the next fOlty-five to 60 days and will
be provided to Council.
Schedule E provides a complete listing of all budget adjustments between summary accounts
approved by the City Manager in accordance with Council Policy 220-02 "Financial Reporting
and Transfer Authority" dUling fiscal year 2007/08.

SUMIVL<illY
For goverrunent entities, a budget creates a legal li'amev/ork for spending during the fiscal year.
After the budget is approved there are circumstances, which arise that could require adjustments
to the approved budget. At the close of each fiscal year, the Finance Department reviews all
departmental and fund budgets to ensure that the fund budget and the departmental summary
budget categories (Personnel Services, Supplies and Services, Other Expenses and Capital) have
not been exceeded. For fiscal year 2007/08, budget adjustments are required for the City
Attorney, Human Resources, Public "Vorks and the Nature Center departments.
The Council Policy on Financial Reponing and Transfer Authority indicates that all departments
complete the fiscal year with a positive balance in each budget summary category (Personnel
Services, Supplies and Services, Other Expenses and Capital). In order to comply with the intent of
this policy, the transfers discussed below are recommended for approval. All recorrunended
General Fund transfers can be done using existing appropriations. .
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Environmental Review Coordinator has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that complying vvith the Council
Policy on Financial Reporting and Budget Transfer Authority is not a "Project" as delined under
Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines because it ""ill not result in a physical change to the
environment; therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines the actions
proposed are not subject to CEQA.

DISCUSSION
COlillcil Policy 220-02 "Financial Reporting and Transfer Authority" was established in January
of 1996 and indicates that no department shall end the fiscal year with a negative balance in any
budget summary category
In order to comply with the intent of this policy, the transfers discussed below are recommended
for approval. Council has approved similar requests in the past after the close of the fiscal year.
When considering this request for budgetary transfers it is important to note the following:
. The transfer requests are for fiscal year 2007/08 and do not atIect the current fiscal year
2008/09 budget.
. All recommended departmental transfers for the General Fund can be accomplished ,vith
existing appropriations and no additional General Fund appropriations are being
requested.
There are four transfer requests being made by this staff report.
The City Attorney's office requires a transfer of $160,500 from budgetary savings in the
Personnel Services category to the Supplies and Services category for greater than anticipated
expendimres related to professional services.
The Human Resources department requires a transfer of $677,000 ti:om budgetary savings in the
Personnel Services ($285,000) and Supplies and Services ($392,000) categOties to the Other
Expenses category to cover greater than anticipated expenditures related to additional public
liability claims.
The Public Works department requires a transfer of $42,500 from budgetary savings in the
Personnel Services category to the Utilities category to cover greater than anticipated water costs
tor park maintenance.
The Nature Center department requires a transfer of $63,000 from budgetary savings in the
Supplies and Services category to the Personnel Services category due to the elimination of the
Nature Center Director position.

SUMMARY
The City's Finance Department has an Environmentally Preferable Purchasing Policy
(EPP) designed to encourage departments to purchase, whenever practical,
environmentally preferable products. Adoption of the resolution makes this a Citywide
policy and incorporates Extended Producer Responsibility language into the policy.
ENVIRONlVIENT AL REVIEW
The Environmental Review Coordinator has reviewed the proposed activity for
compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined
that the activity is not a "Project" as defined under Section l5378(b)(2) of the State
CEQA Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA
Guidelines the activity is not subject to CEQA. Thus, no environmental review is
necessary.
RECOMMENDATION
Council adopt the resolution.
BOARDS/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
Not applicable.
DISCUSSION

Page20f3
Toxic and disposable products have been developed and sold by companies with no input
from local governments on the design or the toxicity of the components. Yet local
government is burdened with the mandate to manage the disposal of the products once
the consumer no longer wants them. The current waste management system does not
encourage manufacturers to design durable, non-toxic products.
Reducing waste is the highest priority in the waste management hierarchy - reduce,
reuse and then recycle. Although jurisdictions across the state have been working hard on
diverting waste, Californians sent the same volume of trash to landfills in 2007 that we
sent in 1990 - more than 40 million tons. Waste diversion is a downstream action that
addresses end-of-product-life management. It does nothing to reduce the generation and
consumption side of the equation.
There is a better way - Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) - also known as
Product Stewardship. EPR is a policy that holds producers liable for the costs of
responsibly managing their products at end-of-life; whoever designs, produces, sells or
uses a product takes responsibility for minimizing the product's environmental impact.
Producers, usually brand owners, have the greatest control over product design and
marketing and, therefore, have the greatest ability and responsibility to reduce toxicity
and waste.
In the last decade, there has been an explosion in the manufacture of products designed
for disposal. These products are very expensive, if not impossible, to recycle because
they contain hazardous metals and chemicals. Many have been banned from landfill
disposal due to their toxicity. However, the primary m.eans of managing them responsibly
is through local Household Hazardous Waste facilities, funded and managed by local
governments. Local Household Hazardous Waste costs are soaring as cities attempt to
respond to the increased volume of toxic products.
Producer responsibility is such a high priority that in 2007, the California Integrated
Waste Management Board adopted it as one of 12 strategic directives. It is a core value
of the Waste Board that producers assume the responsibility for the safe stewardship of
their materials in order to promote environmental sustainability. (A copy of Strategic
Directive #5 and The Overall Framework for an Extended Producer Responsibility
System in California as adopted by the California Integrated Waste Management Board
has been included as an attachment providing greater detail on this Directive.)
Local government has a critical role to play in helping to lead the transition to producer
responsibility and stemming the growth of the waste stream. As the move toward
Product Stewardship progresses, Federal and State legislation is being introduced that
merits action on the part of the City. The 2009 Legislative Program will be submitted to
Council for approval in November. The proposed program will include language to .
support measures that promote Extended Producer Responsibility / Product Stewardship.
In addition to lobbying support, staff is recommending that Council adopt a Citywide
Environmentally Preferable Purchasing Policy (EPP) to include EPR components /
practices. These include:
7-2
I 0/21/2008, Item 7-
Page30f3
Leasing of selective products rather than purchasing them.
Requesting less toxic alternatives.
Requiring manufacturers of products. to "take back" their products
(fluorescent lamps, batteries, electronics, etc.) at the end of their useful
life, either directly or through a manufacturer/producer funded collection
and recycling program.
Currently, items are purchased at the lowest price without consideration
for disposal costs at the end of the products' useful life. Total Cost of
Ownership considerations need to be evaluated as part of the fit-for-use
analysis of a product and service. Total Cost of Ownership is a
summation of all purchase, operating and related costs for a product or
service. A product that may appear to be the lowest price initially may
actually be more expensive when disposal and other related costs are
added to the calculation. If fitness and quality are equal, environmentally
preferable products will be purchased whenever such products are
available at the same or lesser total cost than other products.
Chula Vista has long been recognized for its leadership and bold steps towards
environmental stewardship and conservation policies. The California Integrated Waste
Management Board is requiring jurisdictions to have an EPP as one of the qualifiers for
most of their grant funding. The adoption of an EPP Policy will assist City departments
in continuing to obtain the State grant funding used to facilitate some of those
envirorunental stewardship efforts.
DECISION MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and has determined that it is
not site specific and consequently the 500 foot mle found in California Code of
Regulations section 18704.2(a)(I) is not applicable to this decision.
FISCAL IMPACT
Adopting this resolution has no direct General Fund impact. The intent of any actions
governed by this resolution will be to reduce overall costs of goods and services to the
City through producer take-back programs, improved recyclability and overall product
design. The City's Finance Department has reviewed and approved the proposed
purchasing policy language.

This page provides information on the CIWMB's Strategic Directive 5 (SD-5). Each of the five
subdirectives links to further explanation including baseline measurement, metrics or performance
criteria, annual targets, and key activities.
Directive
It is a core value of the CIWMB that producers assume the responsibility for the safe stewardship of
their materials in order to promote environmental sustainabill~.
Specifically, the CIWMB will:
1. Utnize existina Board authority..to foster "cradle-te-cradle" oroducer resoonsibilitv.
2. Seek statutor.i authority to foster "cradle-to-cradle" oroducer responsibilitv.
3, Analyze the feasibilitl of various aooroaches to increasinq Qroducer responsibilitv. includinq
durinq the oreduct desiqn and oackaainq ohases, and make recommendations to the CIWMB
Boarcl..Qy December ?007, and annuallv thereafter.
4, Build caoacity and knowledqe in CIWMB on extended producer resoonsibilit/lEPR) issues and
solutions.
5. Develop and maintain relationshios with stakeholders that result in oroducer-financed and
producer-manaced svstems for product discards,
5.1--Utilize existing Board authority to foster "cradle-to-cradle" producer
responsibility.
This subdirective recognizes those tasks and initiatives related to EPR that the CIWMB could bot"
continue and initiate in the immediate and near term utiiizing existing Board authority.'The Board has
been involved in severai initiatives related to EPR over the years, including rigid plastic packaging
containers (RPPC), a-waste, and paint
Baseline
The baseline is existing legislative provisions (i.e. minimum content programs and a-waste)
related to producer responsibility.
Metrics or Performance Criteria
The Board will track the number of regulatory and voluntary programs that have been
implemented and/or modified to foster EPR.
Annual Targets
in the near term, the Board will revise and promulgate RPPC regulations and take initiatives to
enhance enforcement based on regulatory changes. In addition, staff will be providing the
Board with a broader set of EPR policy recommendations at the September Board meeting.
Other targets, short- and long-term, will be determined based on those recommendations the
Board accepts at that meeting.
Key Activities
Review existing federal and state statutes and regulations relative to EPR programs; amend
regulations to foster additional EPR.
5.2--Seek statutory authority to foster "cradle-to-cradle" producer responsibility
This subdirective proposes to seek new statutory authority in order to foster the "cradle-to-cradle"
concept. This will allow the Board to create new regulatory programs reiated to EPR.
Baseline
The baseline Is existing regulatory programs and statutory authority oithe Board,
Metrics or Performance Criteria
The number of approved legi~~i6e amendments that support EPR will serve as a metric.

5.3--Analyze the feasibility of various approaches to increasing producer
responsibility, including during the product design and packaging phases, and
make recommendations to the CIWM8 board by December 2007, and annually
thereafter.
This subdirective proposes that staff analyze the feasibility of various approaches to increasing EPR.
This analysis will include approaches focused on product design, packaging and existing frameworks
being used in other jurisdictions. At the conclusion of the analysis. recommendations will be made to
the Board, suggesting a particular approach to be pursued in California.

the Board in September 2007. Analysis regarding EPR approaches for specific product
categories wlil be completed by December 2007 or earlier. Complete preparation of
supplemental Budget Report.
Key Activities
Key activities associated with this subdirective inciude reviewing existing approaches and
frameworks being used by other jurisdictions regarding EPR and evaluating their success and
feasibility for implementation in California.
Literature searches will be conducted to determine what, if any, research has been done on the
subject and how that research can be used to construct the most appropriate ERP framework
possible. Other activities would include meeting with stakeholders and interagency workgroups.
5.4..Build capacity and knowledge in CIWMB on extended producer responsibility
(EPR) issues and solutions
This subdirective proposes that Board staff actively build knowiedge of EPR at the CIWMB. This
indudes building an internal knowledge-base within L~e Board as weil as maimaining a web-based
resource informing the public about the availability of that information.
Baseline
The baseline wlll be constructed based on the implementation of existing systems within the
board such as the e-waste program.
Metrics or Performance Criteria
Th.e number of staff within the Board who has expertise in L'1is subject matter will serve as a
metric for this subdirective.
Annual Targets
Targets for this subdirective include Board leadership in EPR-related
discussions/forums/conferences as well as maintaining training of Board staff to ensure
knowledge and expertise among staff.
Key Activities

Board Meeting
January 23, 2008
Agenda Item 12
Attachment 1 (Final)
Attachment 1: Overall Framework for an Extended
Producer Responsibility System in California
This document contains staffs recommendations for an Overall Framework for an
Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) System in California. If adopted by the
California Integrated Waste ~ranagement Board (CIWMB or Board), staff envisions that
t'1is document, in addition to the Board's Strategic Directive 5: Producer Responsibility
(http://www.ciwmb.ca.gov/agendas/mtgdocs/2007/02/00021620.doc) will guide further
discussion and development of product stewardship programs in California.
To achieve Strategic Directive 5, Producer Responsibility, the Cf'vVMB staff developed
the proposed Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) Framework Approach described in
this document. This EPR Framework Approach would provide a comprehensive, yet
flexible method for managing products l1-J.at have significant im.pacts on the environment
and serve as an alternative to the current piecemeal approach with many different laws
and methods.
The EPR Framework is intended to guide proposals to seek statutory changes that would
provide the Board with the authority to develop and carry out state government roles and
responsibilities. 1fJs should include providing the Board with authority to establish
overall program requirements and procedures, including but not limited to: 1)
establishing agency-wide product selection procedures a,nd selecting product categories;
2) requiring producers of selected categories to work with retailers, haulers, local
jurisdictions, and other stakeholders, as appropriate, to develop and implement Board-
approved plans to address the targeted products; 3) specifying what provisions must be
addressed in each plan (e.g., goals, fee or cost structure options, administration, reporting,
etc.), while allowing flexibility in how provisions are implemented; and 4) specifYing
enforcement mechanisms such as penaltj procedures and provisions for non-compliance.
The approval'of a product stewardship plan would not preclude the implementation or.
expansion of existing programs, nor would it preclude consideration of other approaches
to end-of-life product management (such as for e-waste).
The use of product-specific stewardship plans would be a key component to provide
producers, retailers, haulers, recyclers, and other entities in the product chain wit.1. the
flexibility to customize programs for specific products. Whileeach plan would address
certain topics, how each topic would be implemented would be unique and customized
for the product. Producers would also have the option of creating individual plans or
participating in group or other plans. .
Key Elements of an EPR Framework Approach
Staff found that EPR Framework approaches have common key elements and, based on
the analysis and stakeholder input, staff proposes these key elements:

1. Policy Goals
2. Guiding Principles
Agenda Item 12
Attaclunent I (Final)
S. Governance
3. Definitions
6. Products/Product Categories Covered
7. Program Effectiveness and Measurement
4. Roles and Responsibilities
Tne sections that follow furt.her describe staff recommendations for an EPR Framework
Policy Goals, Guiding Principles, Defmitions, Roles and Responsibilities, and
Governance (ClWMB Authority). The remaining elements would be further explored
and addressed in legislation or in the development of regulations.
1. Policy Goals
The goals of the EPR Framework, and any product stewardship programs that would be
implemented under it, are to:
Address all materials in the waste stream, either in terms of volumetric or toxic
impacts in landfills, where practical, with consideration of life-cycle impacts.
Provide measurable net environmental benefits through product design innovation;
improved environmental performance throughout a product's lifecycle, that
includes reduced solid waste, toxic components, energy and water consumption,
and reduced greenhouse gas and air emissions; the highest and best use of products
and materials in a cradle-to-cradle system; and avoidance of transferring EOL
management problems to' other states and countries.
Advance green product design and the waste management hierarchy of source
reduction and reuse, as well ~s proper collection and recycling where needed.
Design product stewardship programs to maximize convenience to consumers and
economic efficiency and market-based competition to stimulate innovation and
reduce costs.
Reduce the burden on taxpayers ik'1d ratepayers by transferring waste-related costs
to producers and consumers of products.
2. Product Stewardship Guiding Principles
Producer Responsibility
All producers selling selected products into the state would be required to develop
and/or participate in an approved product stewardship plan. Each plan would have.
certain provisions that must be addressed (e.g., goals, fee or cost structures,
administration, and reporting, along with environmental provisions such as source
reduction and product design, collection, transportation and environmentally

Attachment 1 (Final)
.
sustainable reuselrecycling, etc.), while allowing flexibilit'j in how provisions are
implemented. _
Responsibility to physically and financially manage product end-of~life impacts
shifts from general ratepayer and local government to producer and consumer.
Responsibility is not shifted to other levels of government without consent or
negotiated agreement with the affecred governmental entity.
All producers for a particular product category are subject to the same stewardship
responsibilities, wbch encourage environmental performa11ce by individual
producers.
Environmental Protection Strategies
Environmental protection strategies and resource allocation shift to an emphasis on
increased prevention, source reduction, green product design, and reuse; with
increased collection and recycling, and purchase of environmentally preferable
products, when feasible.
Environmental protection strategies strive to harmonize policies and programs by
various levels of government while acknowledging and preserving the unique
authorities and responsibilities of each to address environmental concerns.
New EPR programs should not dismantle existing programs that the Board
determines effective.
Strategies are designed to give government the flexibility to implement program
improvements through administrative and regulatory processes.
CIWMB will collaborate with agencies, internal and external, and other key
stakeholders to effectively address cross-media and cross-organizational issues
when considering the selection of product categories and when considering
approval of product stewardship plans.
System Coverage
All consumers have reasonable access to convenient product collection locations.
Results-Based Programs
. Programs focus on results and provide producers wiLl], flexibility to determine the
most cost-effective means of achieving the desired outcomes with minimum
government involvement. This includes allowing individual producer
responsibility, along with other options.
Product categories are clearly defined to simplify compliance and enforcement and
ensure common understanding among program participants.
Programs are tailored for individual products and encourage continued innoyation
by producers to minimize enviromnental impacts during all stages of the product
life cycle, from product design to end-of-life management.
Producers are accountable to both government and consumers for environmental
outcomes and allocation of revenue from feesllevies.
. Program development process is open and provides the opportuniry for input from
all stakeholders.

Attachment 1 (Final)
3. Definition of Key Terms
a) Extended Producer Responsibility In the Background Paper Producer
Responsibility: Overview of Policy Considerations from the June S, 2007 Strategic
Policy Committee Meeting Workshop, staff presented various definitions of Extended
Producer Responsibility, along with similar terms being used internationally, I Staff
recommends the following definition:
Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is the extension of the responsibility
of producers, and all entities involved in the product chain, to reduce the
cradle-to-cradle impacts of a product and its packaging; the primary
responsibility lies with the producer, or brand owner, who makes design and
marketing decisions.
This definition is similar to the definition used by the Product Stewardship Institute in
recognizing a shared responsibility, but one that lies primarily with the producer. The
reference to the product chain includes but is not limited to producers (see definition
b) Producer), retailers, haulers, consumers, recyclers, and local governments. EPR
focuses on enhancing environmental benefits through improved product design for
reduction and reuse, and increased collection and recycling ','Ihere needed, without
transferring end-of-life management problems elsewhere.
b) Producer This term is fundamental to any discussion on EPR, yet it is challenging to
define for all products. In order to have a common understanding' of the term, staff
offers the working definition below with recognition that a more refined definition
would be needed for a product stewardship program t.'1at is focused on a particular
'product or product category. Product-specific definitions of the term producer need
to be legally binding if all producers are to be held to the same ground rules,
Producer means
i. a person who manufacturers a product and sells, offers for 'sale or
distribntes the product in California under the manufacture's own brand
ii. if subparagraph (i) does uot apply, a persoll who is not the manufacturer
of the product but is the owner or licensee of a trade mark under which a
product is sold or distributed in California, whether or not the trademark
is registered, or
iii. if subparagraphs (i) and (Ii) do not apply, a person who imports the
product into California' for sale or distribntion.
c) Cradle-to-Cradle Impacts The term "cradle-to-cradle impacts" is referred to in the
definition of "Extended Producer Responsibility" and staff believes it is beneficial to
make it clear that EPR goes beyond advancing recycled content, t~e Board's
traditional focus, but one that can lead to non-optimal environmental decisions. EPR

is a comprehensive, rat.~er than single-attribute approach, and consequently is more
likely to result in the best environmental solution.
Cradle-to-cradle Impacts include energy, water, and materials use;
greenhouse gas and other air emissions; toxic and hazardous substances;
materials recovery and waste disposal; and worker safety.
d) Product Stewardship Program This is a term l.'Jat is used by provinces in Canada
and Board staff believes using the same tenn in California would be helpful to be
consistent in our communications, particularly for thos'e stakeholders operating
throughout North America.
Product Stewardship Program is a program that encompasses product
design for source reduction and reuse, as well as the collection,
transportation, recycling, and disposal of unwanted products, including
legacy products and the program's fair share of orphan products, which is
financed as well as managed or provided by the producers of those products.
e) Stewardship Organization Several terms are used to describe au entity that works
on behalf of the producer to implement its responsibilities such as Third Party
Organization (TPO), Producer Responsibility Organization (PRO), and Stewardship
Organization (SO). Staff recommends using the rerm and definition below.
Stewardship Organization is an entity appointed by a producer to act as an
agent on behaif of the producer to administer a product stewardship
program.
4. Roles and Responsibilities.
Each stakeholder benefiting from a selected product shares in the responsibility of
developing and implementing an effective product stewardship program. Staff
recommends that the following general description of roles and responsibilities for
producers, retailers, consumers, state government, local government, haulers', recyclers,
and advisory workgroups be used to help lay a solid foundation for an effective product
management and stewardship system. The roles and responsibilities would be
modified, as appropriate, when developing any ensuing product stewardship
program. While there is a description in this for general responsibilities for California
State government, Section 5 below delineates specific governance authority that would be
needed for CIWMB to develop and implement an overall product stewardship program.
For each stakeholder group, staff identifies these types of responsibilities, where
applicable.
Product stewardship system effectiveness (oversight and continual improvement)
Information needs/requirements
Physical management of products and component materials (cradle-to-cradle)
Financial management of end-of-life responsibilities

Board Meeting
Januarj 23, 2008
Agenda Item 12
Attachment 1 (Final)
A. Producers' Responsibility: System Effectiveness, Informational,
Physical, Financial
Whether established legislatively or voluntarily, an EPR approach to a specific product or
product category places primary responsibility on the producers of that product to design
and implement a program to achieve specified goals. Producers may use stewardship
organizations (see Definitions of Key Terms above) to administer recovery and recycling
programs for specified materials. 111e membership of a stewardship organization can be
entirely cornplised of industry representatives, including manufacturers, distributors and
retailers. Other stewardship organizations are multi-stakeholder organizations that
include government representatives. Stewardship organization responsibilities usually
include registering members, collecting fees from members,"managing a program fund,
monitoring compliance, and reporting on results. In cases where producers create and
elect to participate in stewardship organizations, the ultimate responsibility is retained by
the individual producers while the functions may be performed by stewardship
organizations. Additional details about individual versus collective producer
responsibility would need to be addressed in product-specific product stewardship plans,
as needed, due to variations in product design, market structure, and potential
public/environmental benefit.
System Effectiveness: Develop or use an approved stewardship plan for selected
products. Each plan would have certain provisions that must be addressed including, but
not limited to, goals, fee or cost structures, administration, and reporting, but there would
be flexibility in how provisions are in1plemented Plans would also address product
design, source reduction, collection, transportation, and,reuselrecycling of covered
products considering lifecycle impacts and utilizing market incentives, as feasible.
Informational: Provide effectiveness repOlis including performance and cost data to
State government for covered products (e.g., t.l-tose products which may require
registration). Provide audited fi.nancial records for EOL management, when required, to
justify cost recoverj by stewardship organizations and maintain transparency and
accountability to stakeholders.
Develop and distribute educational material to consumers, retailers, local government,
haulers, and recyclers on the safe use and storage of products, safe storage and handling
of the residuals and containers, and the location of collection facilities.
Clearly communicate information about proper EOL management for haulers, collectors,
recyclers, local government, etc. Typically this is accomplished through Material Safety
Data Sheets, product labels, and websites that explairi hazardous materials contained in
the product and requirements for safe EOL management and recovery of the product.
Participate in good faith with governmental organizations and multi-stakeholder groups
to continually improve product stewardship program.
Physical: Design products to reduce lifecycle environmental impacts. Support ,
environmentally preferable products and services through supply chain management
decisions.

Attachment I (Finai)
Ensure the collection and management of material from tile consumer through a nei:'Nork
of conveniently located collection sites. May choose to assign and oversee this
responsibility through contracting directly with collectors, transporters, processors,or
through participation in a stewardship organization. Ail occupational health and safety
and environmental standards must be met in either case.
Financial: Responsible for ensuring financial viability ofEOL collection and
management whether contracting directly with a public or private entity, or through
participation in a stewardship organization.
B. Retailers' Responsibility: Informational, Physical
Informational: Required to provide information from producers (or stewardship
organizations on producers' behalf) to customers on how to access services.
Physical: Retailers only seil products that are covered (e.g., registered) in product
stewardship programs where they exist.
Involvement in an EOL collection system is voluntary and may be compensated, as
negotiated beween producers and retailers.
Physical or System Effectiveness: Responsible for participating in workgroups to
explore system effectiveness and negotiating in good faith with producers and other
stakeholders to assume a share ofresponsibility.
C. Consumers' Responsibility: Physical, Financial
Physical: Responsible for following directions provided by producers including
stewardship organizations, retailers, local government, and EOL service providers.
Utilize provided coilection services and do not dispose of products through illegal or non-
preferred means.
Financial: Pay the costs of proper EOL management.
D. General California State government responsibility: System
effectiveness, informational, financial
Several state government entities have responsibilities with respect to the state
government role in developing a level playing field and providing oversight. These
include the Legislature, CaI/EPA, CIWMB, and other relevant state level authorities.
System effectiveness: Establish statutorf requirements and regulations that provide the
authority to mandate individual financial and/or physical take-back of designated
products; ban designated hazardous materials from use in products and/or landfill
disposal; set mininlUm reuse, recycling and recovery rates; establish minimum
environmental standards (e.g., source reduction, collection, processing, and recycling,
reuse/export).

Board Meeting
Januarf 23,2008
Agenda Item 12
Attaclli-nent 1 (Final)
Devise a state government coordination process to .discuss and decide on environmental
cross-media issues.
Review and approve stewardship plans submitted by producers or by stewardship
organizations on behalf of producers.
The Board may'consider a means foi: individual manufacturers to be exempt from the
EPR requirements for certain (or select) products that conform to special environmental
criteria, where it can be demonstrated that conferring the exemption would result in
compliance with all EPR goals. General procedures and criteria for making exemption
determinations would be developed as part of the regulation process foHowing enactment
of statute. Whether an individual manufacturer's product would be exempt would be
considered as part of the process to select product categories and as part of the Board's
evaluation of a proposed product stewardship pian.
Implement EPR using guiding principles set forth in the Framework, including
procurement specifications that encourage green product design.
Participate in multi-stakeholder collaborative efforts to provide net environmental
benefits, including efforts to establish product performance standards.
Create a level playing field by ensuring that all producers comply with the established
requirements and that targets are being met. Provide timely enforcement, which may
apply to producers and other stakeholders, as defined in regulations that would be
developed following enactment of statute.
Consider the appropriat~ness for a neutral tpjrd-party organization to administer many of
these responsibilities. Responsibility ultimately lies with government to assure
environmental protection goals are bein.g met.
State procurement officials must only purchase products that are covered (e.g., registered)
in product srewardship programs, where they exist and State government should define
environmentally preferable purchasing, in part, by the extent to which producers consider
and incorporate management of toxics, packaging, and other EOL issues in their product
design, production, and customer relationships.
Informational: Make product stewardship plans available to the public and assist in
information dissemination. Ensure public access to performance information and
evaluations.
Financial: Seek reimbursement for oversight and enforcement services, perhaps through
product registration fees. Penalties should be considered, if producers or other
stakeholders fail to meet the established requirements, or conversely, financial incentives
may be offered for meeting or exceeding program requirements.
E. Local. government responsibility: System effectiveness
System effectiveness: Local government procurement officials must only purchase
products that are covered (e.g., registered) in product stewardship programs, where they
exist. Local governments may choose to participate in informational, physical, and

System Effectiveness: Participate in the developed of regulations and the design of
measurement metrics to help ensure transparency and accountability.
Informational: Advise State government on product or process-specific issues related to
producer responsibility. Areas for contributions by technical working groups may
include, but are not limited to: product. selection process and criteria; development of
product performance standards and facility operation standards; options to finance EOL
management of orphan and historic waste, compliance to ensure a level playing field
among producers, including importers; coordination with existing environmental
programs.
5. Governance
. Staff recommends that the Board pursue statutory authority to develop and implement an
overall product stewardship program through a public process. This authority should
include, but is not necessarily lin1ited to, the following: .
1. Establish overall Extended Producer Responsibility regulations;
2. Subsequently determine initial products or product categories to be included;
3. Allow for the addition of new product categories in the fJture;
4. Allow for the creation and implementation of exemption criteria (determined by the
Board) by which a producer may apply to have its product or products exempted from
the EPR program.
S. Establish targets, measurement, and reporting requirements;
6. Require coverage of new, historic, and orphan products;
7. Allow independent and collective manufacturer programs;
8. Establish plan submission and reporting requirements;
9. Establish and collect penalties for non-compliance;
10. Establish transparency and accountability mechanisms;
ll. Require use where appropriate of front-end financing mechanisms (e.g., point-of-
manufacture or point-of-sale) as opposed to end-of-life fees;
12. Require coverage throughout the state, both urban and rural, at a level necessary to
meet performance standards;
13. Require use of performance standards (may cover product performance, EOL
management systems, and recyclinglrecovery facilities);
14. Require adherence to the State's solid waste hierarchy or other mechanism to ensure
products are managed for highest use or proper disposal if hazardous and not
recyclable;
15. Require best management practices for handling and various types of collection
systems;
16. Require mechanismsli..'1centives to drive product design for environmental
improvement (e.g., toxics reduction, greenhouse gas reduction); and
17. Require marketing, outreach, training andlor education'of stakeholders, including
outreach to consumers.

Agenda Item 12
Attachment 1 (Final)
Provisions in the product stewardship plan may include, but would not be limited to,
items 4-17 listed above. Legislation and regulations would further define the provisions
covered in a plan, but not how each provision is to be implemented, as that would be
defined in the product stewardship plan. There would be considerable flexibility
allowing plans to be customized for individual producers and product categories.
6. Products/Product Categories Covered
While criteria used to select products/product categories would be determined within the
regulatory process following enacttnent of statute, there are some general concepts that
should be addressed in that process. The list below includes factors that would likely be
addressed during this process, although it is not meant to be exhaustive or prescriptive,
nor is it presented in order of importance:
1. Total volume being disposed in landfills
2. Level of toxicity or hazard to human or environmental health
3. Total Iifecycle net environmental impact
4. Potential for net lifecyc1e impact improvement

On January 24, 2007, the Regional Water Quality Control Board adopted the National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Municipal Permit. The Permit requires jurisdictions
within San Diego County to develop and enforce actions 'that prohibit the discharge of pollutants
into the City's storm waster conveyance systems. Adoption of the updates to the Recycling and
Solid Waste Planning i'vIanual includes requirements for recycling and solid waste enclosures and
storage areas in new industrial, commercial, and multi-family developments to be designed with
solid roofs to prevent storm water contact with trash and recyclables. The resolution includes
allowing future updates to the Recycling and Solid Waste Planning Manual to be made
administratively with the approval of the City Manager or designee.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
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 7 categorical exemption pursuant to Section 15307 (Actions by Regulatory Agencies
for Protection of Natural Resources) of the State CEQA Guidelines. Thus, no further
environmental review is necessary
RECOMMENDATION
Council adopt the resolution.
BOARDS/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
Not applicable.
DISCUSSION
The municipalities that discharge to San Diego Bay have established, through evaluation of
8-1
10/21/2008, Item~
Page 2 of2
urban runoffmonitoring data and potential pollutant sources, that bacteria is a high priority water
quality problem in the San Diego Bay Watershed, as is the case throughout San Diego County.
Decaying organic material that is usually found in trash dumpsters serves as a medium for
bacterial growth. Often, trash dumpster lids in industrial, commercial, and multifamily
developments are left open. Open trash dumpsters can attract birds and cause a nuisance.
Furthermore, open trash dumpsters allow for exposure of trash to storm water during a rain
event. When rainwater comes in contact with trash, it can become contaminated with bacteria,
oil and grease, and nutrients. Rainfall into an open trash dumpster allows for these pollutants to
be transported in the runoff. The resulting runoff from an open dumpster can contain pollutants
that are discharged to a nearby storm drain, which eventually leads to San Diego Bay. By
building solid rooftops on recycling and trash areas, new industrial, commercial, and multi-
family developments can prevent storm water pollution through elimination of this possible
source of pollutants.
The solid rooftop shall be constntcted out of an impermeable material that excludes rainwater
from the trash enclosure. Examples of materials that can be used for a rooftop are corrugated
metal or plastic or tile roofing.
As a result of the Stormwater pollution prevention action, the Recycling and Solid Waste
Planning Manual, which was adopted by Council in January 2005, has been updated to include
the proposed language.
The Manual is made available to permit applicants from the Planning and Building Department,
Public Works Department - Environmental Services Division and at multiple locations on the
City web site. The Manual provides information for incorporating appropriate space for
recycling and solid waste; items to be considered in recycling and solid waste planning for
development projects; enclosure and storage area constntction requirements and contact
infonnation for the Public Works Department - Environmental Services Division staff, should an
applicant desire additional assistance or preliminary review of their plan.
Adoption of the resolution will approve the changes to the Manual and authorize the City
Manager or a designee to administratively approve future updates to the Manual. This will
ensure that this document is updated in a timely manner.
DECISION MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and has determined that it is not site
specific and consequently the 500 foot rule found in California Code of Regulations section
18704.2(a)(I) is not applicable to this decision.
FISCAL IMPACT
The requested actions will not impact the General Fund.

Recvclinq and Solid Waste Planninq Manual
I 1 - OVERVIEW
The State of California has mandated t'1at at least 50% of the solid waste generated be diverted from
landfills. Therefore, each applicant for a ef-a development, subdivision,_ major construction proiect or
demolition project (including new public facilities) is required to develop ::md submit a Recycling and
Solid Waste Plan within their drawinqs to ensure that aporopriate space has been allocated to recvclinq
and solid waste accumulation. storaqe. and collection so that the future occupants will have the abilitv to
participate in the City's solid waste and recvclinq proqrams. Plans for vour new proiect will be reviewed
by the Environmental Services Division to ensure adequate space has been allotted to recvclinq and solid
waste activities. Your desiqn should include the steps the applicant'occupant will take to meet the local
and State mandates and recycle the Desionated Recyclable materials as defined in Chula Vista Municipal
Code Chapter 8.25. Plans are subiect to approval by the Citv Manaqer or desiqnee.

Identify the recycling and trash space allocated within your project, as this will dictate how well your
occupants will be able to participate in the various City recvclinq programs, how much they will recycle
and how much they can save. Make sure your infrastructure planning allows your future occupants the
ability to avail themselves of all recycling and solid waste services. Your plan~ must provide adequate
space to properly store all the solid waste and recyclables generated on the site in approved containers
between service days. The plan~ must also allocate space in a manner that provides occupants with the
opportunity to divert all the Designated Recyclables generated at the site. Desiqnated Recvclables
include:
Residential recyclables - those specific recvclable materials from residential solid waste
(sinqle-familv and multi-family) includinq but not limited to. aluminum. qlass bottles and iars.
plastic bottles tin and bi-metal cans. newspapers mixed paper (maqazines. junk mail telephone
books. paperback books. and boxboard) cardboard. white qoods and vard waste.
Commercial recvclables - desiqnated recvclable materials from office and hospitalitv industries.
Materials include but are not limited to office paper. cardboard, qlass bottles and lars plastic
bottles. aluminum. tin and bi-metal cans and white qoods.
Industrial recyclables - recvclable material from industrial. construction and demolition
ooerations includino. but not limited to asphalt. concrete. dirt. land-c1earinq brush. sand and rock.
Your plan~ needs to describe how the recycling and solid waste infrastructure will be utilized by the
occupants and maintained on an on-going basis, such as:
o Include solid waste and recycling requirements and information in your CC&Rs,
employee/owner/tenant orientations, policy manuals, and lease agreements. Include
the draft language for these items in your Plan.
o Show where residents will store containers during the week and where they will be
placed on service day; where and how bulky items, Holiday trees and used motor oil will
be placed for collection. '
o If contracting with a landscaper, your plan must demonstrate that you will require all
yard waste to be diverted for reuse, either through on-site mulching, grasscycling, a
permitted compost facility or for reuse at the landfill - not disposal. Your plan shall
establish the requirement to obtain receipts from the contractor demonstrating that the
material was recycled or composted. Those receipts shall be maintained for eighteen
(18) months and be available to City staff for review upon two days notice during
regular business hours. .
a Color code containers and provide graphic signs that instruct occupants/customers to
separate materials in the containers used to transport recyclables and trash to the
outdoor enclosure.
o Place recycling containers next to all trash containers -("twinning").
o Review your operations at least annually. Contact the city for a free waste audit to
improve business recycling productivity, reduce waste and keep your solid waste and
recycling services cost-effective and up to date.
Small Quantity Generators (SQG - curbside service for residents and small businesses) can control their
monthly costs by reducing their trash volume through weekly trash and recycling collection, bulky item
collection, yard waste collection, used oil and oil filter collection, Holiday tree collection, and two annual
landfill passes and two annual yard waste passes. (See service brochures for details on these programs
at www.chulavistaca.Dov/CLE..<\N/Environmentalservices.)
Large Quantity Generators (LQG - commercial, multi-family and industrial projects with central collection
service) can control or reduce their costs by taking advantage of recycling savings. Restaurants and

LOQistical Considerations:
. Weeklv trash and food/beverage container recycling collection is the minimum requirement. All
multi-family, commercial, industrial and public facility properties may subscribe to service that is
more frequent.
. Small Quantity Generators (SQG - curbside collection) place two or more 96-gallon or smaller
trash and recycling carts at the curb for weekly collection on their assigned collection day. These
customers also receive yard waste, bulky-item, used oil and oil filter collection services.
Therefore there must be curbside space for these containers with one and a half (11/2) feet,
approximately eighteen inches, between each cart and any stationary objects (e.g. parked cars),
on service day.
. All properties must have adequate space to accommodate bin and/or cart storage for waste and
recyclable materials separately and out of public view in-between collection days. The City
strongly recommends that commercial properties plan for no more than three collections per
week and that multi-family properties plan for no more than twice per week service. For details
on enclosure design requirements see Enclosure and Chute Design Requirements - Central
Collection.
. Twinning - design so that recycling containers are placed with each trash receptacle.
. On a mixed-use site, the Recycling and Solid Waste Management Plan generally follows the
space allocation criteria for each use category (i.e. single-family, multi-family, commercial,
curbside collection, or central collection).

o Public facilities shall implement the service category that best fits the facility use, always twinning
recycling and trash containers for ease, convenience and to minimize the contamination of
recyclable materials.
. 0 . Offices typically generate a waste stream with' 40% to 60% mixed paper. Mixed paper includes:
office paper, cardboard, junk mail, magazines, telephone books, box board, etc. Carbon paper or
sinGle use items such as tissues and paper towels are not recyclable and must be com posted or
placed in the trash.
o If your business will consistently generate a large amount of wooden pallets, food waste, five-
gallon plastic buckets or another potentially' recyclable item~ you may contact the City~
Concerv3ticn ::me E;n'lironmont31 "orlices De~ertmontEnvironmental Services Division or ~
WCicto corlicosAllied Waste Services for recycling market assistance.
o If vour business manufactures a product and would like to include recycled materials in the
feedstock please contact the Environmental Services Division. The City of Chula Vista is part of
the South San Dieqo County RecyclinG Market Development Zone. Staff can help you with
sourcinG feedstock or markets for larqe volumes of recyclable waste materials. and can
determine if your operation mav qualify for low interest loans from the California Inteorated Waste
Manaqement Board. Go to www.ciwmb.ca.qov/RMDZlSanDieqo/formoredetails.
o Design in a manner that facilitates the following priorities: reduce, reuse, recycle, compost and
dispose.
Examples:
D Residential kitchens: Ample space for trash and recycling bins under sinks or in cabinetry
for separation of Designated Recyclables.
D Show where residents will store carts during the week on their property and where they
will be placed at the curb on collection day.
D Outdoor dining, lounge areas and public facilities: Plan for trash and Designated
Recyclables collection containers side-by-side (twinning).
D Copy and print rooms: Allow space for both trash and paper recycling containers side by
side to encourage diversion. .
D Bars and dining areas: Incorporate space for recycling of all food and beverage
containers, specifically, along with other Designated Recyclables as appropriate.
D Recreation Centers and Community Pools: Plan for trash and Designated Recyclables
collection containers side-by-side (twinning.)
o Residential automated collection vehicles collect materials from the right side of the vehicle only.
o Commercial collection vehicles collect materials at the front of the vehicle.
o If the collection truck must enter your property to service bins, the truck must be able to circulate
the parking area without backinG up. Collection vehicles have a turning radius of 37.1 ft.. are
approximately 35 feet long (curbside collection bucket adds 7 feet to the length for a total of 42
feet) and 8 feet wide.
To Complete your Plan:
o Review the ~rojoct docign shootmanual section that applies to. your project: residential,
commercial or industrial.
o Write a thorough description of how you will implement your Recycling and Solid Waste
Management Plan through each phase of the project: pre-construction. construction. and
operation/occupancy.
o Submit your Recycling and Solid Waste Management Plan with your projcct Jon vour site

2 - RECYCLING AND SOLID WASTE STANDARDS FOR CURBSIDE OR DOOR-TO-DOOR SERVICE FOR
SMALL QUANTITY GENERATORS
Small Quantity Generators receive weekly recyclables, yard waste and trash collection, bulky items pick
up, used motor oil and oil filter collection services. Include in your site plan defined location(s) where the
trash, recycling and yard waste carts will be stored in-between service days, out of public view, and
where they will be placed at the curb for collection on service days.
All residential dwellings with curbside or door-to-door collection must be designed to allow for weekly
placement and collection of trash, yard waste and recycling containers at the curb.
There must be space at the curb
for a minimum of three
containers (trash, recyclables
and green waste),
3pproxim3(31)' approximatelv
eighteen inches apart, for each
dwellino unit. The City must
pre-approve alley collection.
The automated collection vehicle services the containers from the right side (curbside) of the vehicle.
Condominiums with no private landscaping can provide space for two carts (trash and recycling,
eliminating yard waste) per unit. However, condominiums must have an enclosure on the property,
sufficient for yard waste bins, to serve the common areas.
If contracting with a landscaper, your plan must demonstrate that you will require that all yard waste be
diverted for reuse, either through on-site mulching, grasscycling, a permitted compost facility or for reuse
at the landfill - not disposal. Your plan shall establish the requirement to obtain receipts from the
contractor demonstrating that the material was recycled or composted. Those receipts shall be

3 - RECYCLING AND SOLID WASTE STANDARDS FOR MULTI-FAMILY COMPLEXES
CENTRAL COLLECTION - BIN SERVICE
The Residential Waste Stream typically includes the following recyclables: 40% paper, 10% metal, glass
and plastic containers and 30% yard waste (apartments/condos usually generate only 7% to 15% yard
waste from common areas).
Residential services include recyclables, yard waste and trash collection and bulky item pick up. Review
the service brochures for details on each of these services and how to prepare materials for collection in
these programs.
Multi-family Housing with Central Collection
. Trash and mhoa papcr recycling bins and "igia container roc~'cIing car:s must be in the same I
enclosure(s) and must allow access without having to move other containers out of the way.
Please see attachments for samples of enclosure drawinqs.
SAf1Plt ONLY
. All bins should be placed in the enclosure out of public view. If bins are placed front-to-front, leave at
least 3 feet between bins for access. The design must provide easy access for the residents ana
allow the hauler access to service bins and/or carts without moving other bins/carts out of the way.
. Design for approximately, one, 4-cubic yard bin for trash service for every 8-12 units depending on
the number of bedrooms per unit. See estimating formula in Section 1. Then add the required
recycling services for each enclosure. The City strongly recommends that you ao not assume more
than twice per week collection service to limit the number of collection truck trips on your property.
. Include an enclosure of appropriate size for centralized collection of yard waste. If contracting with a
landscaper, make certain to include in your contract the requirement that all yard waste must be
diverted for reuse, either through on-site mulching, grasscycling, a pemnitted compost facility or for
reuse at the landfill - not disposal. Include the requirement to receive copies of receipts to verify
diversion.
. All projects with six or more units shall provide additional space that is sufficient for the free monthly
bulky collection (mattresses, appliances, furniture), free annual Holiday Tree recycling and other
periodic or seasonal events. Approximately 400 square feet is required for a complex of 40 units or
more.
. If the collection truck must enter your property to service bins, the tnuck must be able to circulate the
parking area without backinq uP. Collection vehicles have a turning radius of 37.1 ft. are
approximately 35 feet long (curbside collection bucket adds 7 feet to the length for a total of 42 feet)
and 8 feet wide.
See the Multi-family service brochure for more information on residents' services. www.chula-vistaca.qov.
Trash and Recycling Chutes
. If a facility plans to provide chutes, the City ~ill -require that you provide lRfeetwo chutes adjacent
to one another in each disposal and recycling area. One chute identified for mixca ~3~er recyclables,
one shut" ;::en:;fiod fa" bcttlos 3na cons, and one chute identified for trash. Other options may be
proposed by first consulting the CitL's Consor/ation Coorainator.

4 - RECYCLING AND SOLID WASTE STANDARDS FOR COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL BUSINESSES- CENTRAL
COLLECTION - BIN SERVICE
The Commercial Waste Stream varies by the type of business, but typically includes the following
recyclables: 40-60% paper, 5% metal, glass and plastic containers (10%-15% for food service
businesses) and 15% yard waste (or pre-consumer food waste that can be recycled with yard waste).
. Commerciai and industrial properties must have enclosure space and numbers of bins or carts
adequate to divert the Designated Recyclables generated on their property.
. . Trash and recycling bins or carts must be placed in the same enclosures.
. Yard waste must be separated from the trash. Plan for adequate container volume and service
intervals to divert yard waste (tree, brush or grass trimmings) generated at your business. If
contracting with a landscaper, your plan must demonstrate that you will require that all yard waste
be diverted for reuse, either through on-site mulching, grasscycling, a permitted compost facility
or for reuse at the landfill - not disposal. Your plan shall establish the requirement to obtain
receipts from the contractor demonstrating that the material was recycled or composted. Those
receipts shall be maintained for eighteen (18) months and be available to City staff for review
upon two-days notice during regular business hours.
. Each business should allocate space, in each enclosure, for at least one mixed popor bin ond
one rigid cent=!nor cort recvclinq bin along with lRBif-trash disposal service requirements.
. The City may require that the enclosure include additional space and access for other ancillary
services (i.e. restaurants-grease collection, auto repair-scrap metal collection, etc., where
applicable).
COMPACTORS:
. Commercial compactors are not recommended for trash service. Compactors must be pre-
approved by the City's franchise hauler, Pcci~c V'!;:s:c Scr;;cosAllied Waste Services and the
City Consor;ction Dnd Er'/ircnmontGI Sar/icGs C'opcrtmantEnvironmental Services ,Division.
(See Municipal Code S 8.24.080.B)

Doors must be anchored to appropriately sized steel posts (min. 2 inches by 3/16 gauge steel) set
independently from walls.
Cane bolts, dropped into sleeved holes in the concrete, to hold doors in both the open and closed
position are required.
Enclosures andief containers within the enclosure, must have covers designed to reduce pests,
illegal disposal and exclude rain. (See Municipal Code 19.58.340)

sufficient space to allow:
o The truck to stop in front of the enclosure with the front wheels resting on the concrete pad:
o The bins to be rolled out of the enclosure and;
o The bin to be positioned in front of the truck without moving the truck.
o There must be enough enclosures in the project to provide convenient and sufficient capacity to
handle the volume of recyclables and waste generated between collections.
o Each enclosure must be designed and sized appropriately to accommodate bins and/or carts for the
Designated Recyclables and solid waste generated on the property. All properties are required to
allocate space to recycle all Designated Recyclables.
o Enclosures must be designed so that trash, paper, rigid containers, and yard waste containers may
be accessed by the generator and serviced by the collection company without moving other bins or
carts. Recommendation: A separate pedestrian access door will save ,'ou I3r~G dooraate repairs,
prevent illegal disposal and is safer for the generator to use.

See attachments for samales of enclosure drawinos.
Enclosure Location
. Reduce or eliminate the need for collection trucks to drive onto private property whenever possible.
. If you place the enclosure within 25' of the public thoroughfare, the hauler will roll bins and carts to
the street for seNice at no additional charge.
. The hauler is authorized to add a seNice surcharge if they cannot drive to within 25' of the enclosure.
. If the collection truck must enter your property to seNice bins the truck must be able to circulate the
parking area without backing up. Trucks are approximately 35 - 42 feet long, 8 feet wide and a have
a turning radius of 37.1 feet.
. Do not put speed bumps, stamped concrete, cobblestones or other obstacles in front of enclosures
that would impede the access of the vehicle or bin rollout. Truck and bins must be on a fiat. concrete
surface when being seNiced.
. Whenever possible enclosures for apartments and condominiums should be geographically
distributed in a manner that is convenient for residents.
. Enclosures in commercial settings and public facilities should consider proximity to seNice doors,
traffic fiow, delivery patterns, etc.
Trash and Recycling Chutes
. If a facility plans to provide chutes, the City may require" that you provide tl+Feetwo chutes adjacent to
one another in each disposal and recycling area. One chute identified for r:lixod ?apor recyclables,
ona ch"to identified for bo~tles and oone, and one chute identified for trash. Other options may be
proposed by first consulting the City,'s Cgnsor:ation Coordin3'or.
. The driver must be able to seNice bins without moving other bins in the chute rooms.
. It is strongly recommended that you provide an enclosure(s) on site for corrugated cardboard
collection bin(s) as boxes may clog your trash and recycling chutes. If enough space is provided, the
enclosure can also be used for free bulky collection, Holiday tree collection and other periodic or
seasonal seNices.

Recycling and Solid Waste Planning Manual
I 1 - OVERVIEW I
The State of California has mandated that at least 50% of the solid waste generated be diverted
from landfills. Therefore, each applicant for a development, subdivision, major construction
project or demolition project (including new public facilities) is required to submit a Recycling
and Solid Waste Plan to ensure that appropriate space has been allocated to recycling and solid
waste accumulation, storage, and collection so that occupants will have the ability to participate
in the City's solid waste and recycling programs.
Additionally, a Construction and Demolition Waste Management Report and performance
deposit, for construction and de'molition covered projects is required as a component of the
permit approval process. (CVMC 8.25.095). For more details on the Construction and
Demolition Waste Management Report Form and perfonmance deposit requirements go to
www.chulavistaca.qov/clean/environmentalservices or contact the Environmental Services
Division at (619) 691-5122, environmentalservices@ci.chula-vista.ca.us
The Recycling and Solid Waste Plan must be a part of the Building Plans for the project; either
on the Building Plans themselves or attached to the Building Plans. The Buildings Plans for
your new project will be reviewed by the Environmental Services Division to ensure adequate
space has been allotted to recycling and solid waste activities. Your design sliould include the
steps the applicant/occupant will take to meet the local and State mandates and recycle the
Designated Recyclable materials as defined in Chula Vista Municipal Code Chapter 8.25. The
Recycling and Solid Waste Plan and the Construction and Demolition Waste Management
Report are subject to approval by the City Manager or designee.
Items to be considered in your planninq process:
Identify the recycling and trash space allocated within your project, as this. will dictate how well
your occupants will be able to participate in the various City recycling programs, how much they
will recycle and how much they can save. Make sure your infrastructure planning allows your
occupants the ability to avail themselves of all recycling and solid waste services. Your Building
Plans must show that you will provide adequate space to properly store all the solid waste and
recyclables generated on the site in approved containers between service days. The Building
Plans must also allocate space in a manner that provides occupants with the opportunity to
divert all the Designated Recyclables generated at the site. Designated Recyclables include:
Residential Recyclables - those specific recyclable materials from residential solid
waste (single-family and multi-family) including but not limited to, aluminum, glass bottles
and jars, plastic bottles, tin and bi-metal cans, newspapers, mixed paper (magazines,
junk mail, telephone books, paperback books, and boxboard) cardboard, white goods
and yard waste.
Commercial Recyclables - designated recyclable materials from office and hospitality
industries. Materials include but are not limited to, office paper, cardboard, glass bottles
and jars, plastic bottles, aluminum, tin and bi-metal cans, and white goods.

OTY OF
Your Building Plans need to describe how the recycling and solid waste infrastructure will be
utilized by the occupants and maintained on an on-going basis, such as:
o Include solid waste and recycling requirements and information in your CC&Rs,
employee/owner/tenant orientations, policy manuals, and lease agreements.
Include the draft language for these items in the notes within your Building
Plans.
o Show where residents will store containers during the week and where they will
be placed on service day; where and how bulky items, holiday trees and used
motor oil will be placed for collection.
o If contracting with a landscaper, your Building Plans must demonstrate that you
will require all yard waste to be diverted for reuse, either through on-site
mulching, grasscycling, a permitted compost facility or for reuse at the landfill -
not disposal. Your Buiiding Plans shall establish the requirement to obtain
receipts from the contractor demonstrating that the material was recycled or
composted. Those receipts shall be maintained for eighteen (18) months and
be available to City staff for review upon two days notice during regular
business hours.
o Color code containers and proyide graphic signs that instruct
occupants/customers to separate materials in the containers used to transport
recyclables and trash to the outdoor enclosure.
o Place recycling containers next to all trash containers -("twinning").
o Review your operations at least annually. Contact the city for a free waste audit
to improve business recycling productivity, reduce waste and keep your solid
waste and recycling services cost-effective and up to date.
Small Quantity Generators (SQG - curbside service for residents and small businesses) can
control their monthly costs by reducing their trash volume through weekly trash and recycling
collection, bulky item collection, yard waste collection, used oil and oil filter collection, Holiday
tree collection, and two annual landfill passes and two annual yard waste passes. (See service
brochures for details on these programs at
www.chulavistaca.gov/CLEAN/Environmentalservices.)
Large Quantity Generators (LQG - commercial, multi-family and industrial projects with central
collection service) can control or reduce their costs by taking advantage of recycling savings.
Restaurants and other hospitaiity facilities can obtain free food-beverage container collection
service.

LOQistica! Considerations:
. Weekly trash and food/beverage container recycling collection is the minimum
requirement All multi-family, commercial, industrial and public facility properties may
subscribe to service that is more frequent
. Small Quantity Generators (SQG - curbside collection) place two or more trash and
recycling carts at the curb for weekly collection on their assigned collection day. These
customers also receive yard waste, bulky-item, used oil and oil filter collection services.
Therefore, there must be curbside space for these containers with one and a half (11/2)
feet, approximately eighteen inches, between each cart and any stationary objects (e.g.
parked cars), on service day.
. All properties must have adequate space to accommodate bin and/or cart storage for
waste and recyclable materials separately and out of public view in-between collection
days. The City strongly recommends that commercial properties plan for no more than
three collections per week and that multi-family properties plan for no more than twice
per week service. For details on enclosure design requirements see Enclosure and
Chute Design Requirements - Central Collection.
. Twinning - design so that recycling containers are placed with each trash receptacle.

On a mixed-use site, the Recycling and Solid Waste Management Plan generally follows
the space allocation criteria for each use category (i.e. single-family, multi-family,
commercial, curbside collection, or central collection).
CITY OF
.
Public facilities shall implement the service category that best fits the facility use, always
twinning recycling and trash containers for ease, convenience and to minimize the
contamination of recyclable materials.
Offices typically generate a waste stream with 40% to 60% mixed paper. Mixed paper
includes: office paper, cardboard, junk mail, magazines, telephone books, box board,
etc, Carbon paper or sinqle use items such as tissues and paper towels are not
recvclable and must be com posted or placed in the trash.
If your business will consistently generate a large amount of wooden pallets, food waste,
five-gallon plastic buckets or another potentially recyclable items you may contact the
City's Environmental Services Division or Allied Waste Services for recycling market
assistance,
If your business manufactures a product and would like to include recycled materials in
the feedstock please contact the Environmental Services Division. The City of Chula
Vista is part of the South San Diego County Recycling Market Development Zone. Staff
can help you with sourcing feedstock or markets for large volumes of recyclable waste
materials, and can determine if your operation may qualify for low interest loans from the
California Integrated Waste Management Board. Go to
www.ciwmb.ca.qov/RMDZ/SanDieqo/for more details.
Design in a manner that facilitates the following priorities: reduce, reuse, recycle,
compost and dispose.
Examples:
D Residential kitchens: Ample space for trash and recycling bins under sinks or in
cabinetry for separation of Designated Recyclables.
D Show where residents will store carts during the week on their property and
where they will be placed at the curb on collection day.
D Outdoor dining, lounge areas and public facilities: Plan for trash and Designated
Recyclables collection containers side-by-side (twinning).
D Copy and print rooms: Allow space for both trash and paper recycling containers
side by side to encourage diversion.
D Bars and dining areas: Incorporate space for recycling of all food and beverage
containers, specifically, along with other Designated Recyclables as appropriate.
D Recreation Centers and Community Pools: Plan for trash and Designated
Recyclables collection containers side-by-side (twinning.)
Residential automated collection vehicles collect materials from the right side of the
vehicle only.
Commercial collection vehicles collect materials at the front of the vehicle.

2 - RECYCLING AND SOLID WASTE STANDARDS FOR CURBSIDE OR DOOR- To-DoOR SERVICE FOR
SMALL QUANTITY GENERATORS
Small Quantity Generators receive weekly recyclables, yard waste and trash collection, bulky
items pick up, used motor oil and oil filter collection services. Include in your Building Plans
defined location(s) where the trash, recycling and yard waste carts will be stored in-between
service days, out of public view, and where they will be placed at the curb for collection on
service days.
All residential dwellings with
curbside or door-to-door
collection must be designed
to allow for weekly placement
and collection of trash, yard
waste and recycling
containers at the curb.
.,..,r"",.
Yard
Waste
There must be space at the curb for a minimum of three containers (trash, recyclables and
green waste), approximately eighteen inches apart, for each dwellinq unit. The City must pre-
approve alley collection. .
The automated collection vehicle services the containers from the right side (curbside) of the
vehicle.
Condominiums with no private landscaping can provide space for two carts (trash and recycling,
eliminating yard waste) per unit However, condominiums must have an enclosure on the
property, sufficient for yard waste bins, to serve the common areas.
If contracting with a landscaper, your Building Plans must demonstrate that you will require that
all yard waste be diverted for reuse, either through on-site mulching, grasscycling, a permiited
compost facility or for reuse at the landfill - not disposal. Your Building Plans shall establish the
requirement to obtain receipts from the contractor demonstrating that the material was recycled
or composted. Those receipts shall be maintained for eighteen (18) months and be available to
City staff for review upon two days notice during regular business hours.

3. RECYCLING AND SOLID WASTE STANDARDS FOR MULTI-FAMILY COMPLEXES
CENTRAL COLLECTION - BIN SERVICE
The Residential Waste Stream typically includes the following recyclables: 40% paper, 10%
metal, glass and plastic containers and 30% yard waste (apartments/condos usually generate
only 7% to 15% yard waste from common areas).
Residential services include recyclables, yard waste and trash collection and bulky item pick up.
Review the service brochures for details on each of these services and how to prepare
materials for collection in these programs.
Multi-family Housing with Central Collection
. Trash and recycling bins must be in the same enclosure(s) and must allow access without
having to move other containers out of the way.
. Please see attachments for sample drawings of enclosures All bins should be placed in the
enclosure out of public view. If bins are placed front-to-front, leave at least 3 feet between
bins for access. The design must provide easy access for the residents and allow the hauler
access to service bins and/or carts without moving other bins/carts out of the way.
. Design for approximately, one, 4-cubic yard bin for trash service for every 8-12 units
depending on the number of bedrooms per unit. See estimating formula in Section 1. Then
add the required recycling services for each enclosure. The City strongly recommends that
you do not assume more than twice per week collection service to limit the number of
collection truck trips on your property.
. Include an enclosure of appropriate size for centralized collection of yard waste. If
contracting with a landscaper, make certain to include in your contract the requirement that
all yard waste must be diverted for reuse, either through on-site mulching, grasscycling, a
permitted compost facility or for reuse at the landfill - not disposal. Include the requirement
to receive copies of receipts to verify diversion.
. All projects with six or more units shall provide additional space that is sufficient for the free
monthly bulky collection (mattresses, appliances, furniture), free annual holiday tree
recycling and other periodic or seasonal events. Approximately 400 square feet is required
for a complex of 40 units or more. .
. If the collection truck must enter your property to service bins, the truck must be able to
circulate the parking area without backinq UP. Collection vehicles have a turning radius of
37.1 ft. are approximately 35 feet long (curbside collection bucket adds 7 feet to the length
for a total of 42 feet) and 8 feet wide.
See the Multi-family service brochure for more information on residents' services.
Trash and Recycling Chutes
. If a facility plans to provide chutes, the City requires that you provide two chutes adjacent to
one another in each disposal and recycling area. One chute shall be identified for
recyclables, and one chute shall be identified for trash. Other options may be proposed by
first consulting the City.

. It is strongly recommended that you provide an enclosure(s) on site for corrugated
cardboard as boxes may clog your trash and recycling chutes. If enough space is provided,
the enclosure can also be used for free bulky collection, holiday tree collection and other
periodic or seasonal services.

4 - RECYCLING AND SOLID WASTE STANDARDS FOR COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL BUSINESSES- CENTRAL
COLLECTION - BIN SERVICE
The Commercial Waste Stream varies by the type of business, but typically includes the
following recyclables: 40-60% paper, 5% metal, glass and plastic container's (10%-15% forfood
service businesses) and 15% yard waste (or pre-consumer food waste that can be recycled with
yard waste).
. Commercial and industrial properties must have enclosure space and numbers of bins or
carts adequate to divert the Designated Recyclables generated on their property.
. Trash and recycling bins or carts must be placed in the same enclosures.
. Yard waste must be separated from the trash. Plan for adequate container volume and
service intervals to divert yard waste (tree, brush or grass trimmings) generated at your
business. If contracting with a landscaper, your Building Plans must demonstrate that
you will require that all yard waste be diverted for reuse, either through on-site mulching,
grasscycling, a permitted compost facility or for reuse at the landfill - not disposal. Your
Building Plans shall establish the requirement to obtain receipts from the contractor
demonstrating that the material was recycled or composted. Those receipts shall be
maintained for eighteen (18) months and be available to City staff for review upon two-
days notice during regular business hours.
. Each business should allocate space, in each enclosure, for at least one recycling bin
along with the needed trash bin disposal service requirements.
. The City may require that the enclosure include additional space and access for other
ancillary services (i.e. restaurants-grease collection, auto repair-scrap metal collection,
etc., where applicable).
COMPACTORS:
. Commercial compactors are not recommended for trash service. Compactors must be
pre-approved by the City's franchise hauler, Allied Waste Services and the City
Environmental Services Division. (See Municipal Code S 8.24.080.B)
. A business that is using a compactor must still divert Designated Recyclables: paper,
cardboard, food and beverage containers, yard waste, clean lumber and metals, etc.
(See Municipal Code Chapter 8.25).
CONTACTS:
. For service day information or other collection clarification, contact Allied Waste Services
at (619) 421-9400. Allied's representative will be available to review Building Plans for
accessibility, equipment types, do site visits and arrange for recycling services.

5. RECYCLING AND SOLID WASTE ENCLOSURE STANDARDS
The following minimum bin and cart dimensions are to be used when designing your enclosures.
. Trash enclosures should be as far away from storm drain inlets as possible. Enclosures
shall have solid roofs that are constructed out of an impermeable material that excludes
rainwater from the trash enclosures.
. All trash enclosures shall be paved with an impervious surface, designed not to allow water
run-on from adjoining areas, and shall be screened or walled to prevent off-site transport of
trash.
. Wheel stops for bins and carts must be configured such that they provide 8-inch bin
clearance from all three walls, 6 inches high is recommended.
. Doors must be anchored to appropriately sized steel posts (min. 2 inches by 3/16 gauge
steel) set independently from walls.
. Cane bolts, dropped into sleeved holes in the concrete, to hold doors in both the open and
closed position are required.
. Containers and bins within the enclosure must have covers designed to reduce pests, illegal
disposal and exclude rain.
. The flat reinforced concrete pad (approximately 24 feet X 12 feet, no decorative stamping or
brickwork/cobblestones) in front of the enclosure should extend beyond the enclosure to
provide sufficient space to allow:
o The truck to stop in front of the enclosure with the front wheels resting on the
concrete pad:
o The bins to be rolled out of the enclosure and;

.
Each enclosure must be designed and sized appropriately to accommodate bins and/or
carts for the Designated Recyclables and solid waste generated on the property. All
properties are required to allocate space to recycle all Designated Recyclables.
Enclosures must be designed so that trash, paper, rigid containers, and yard waste
containers may be accessed by the generator and serviced by the collection company
without moving other bins or carts. Recommendation: A separate pedestrian access door.
will save gate repairs, prevent illegal disposal and is safer for the generator to use.
The City may require that the enclosure include additional space and access for other
ancillary services i.e. restaurants - grease collection, auto repair - scrap metal collection, etc.
where applicable.
Each enclosure must be located on the Building Plans and the bin and carts placement
inside the enclosure clearly identified - R= recycling; Y= yard waste recycling; T= waste or
trash.
.
.
.
See attachments for sample drawings of enclosures.
Enclosure Location
. Reduce or eliminate the need for collection trucks to drive onto private property whenever
possible.
. If you place the enclosure within 25' of the public thoroughfare, the hauler will roll bins and
carts to the street for service at no additional charge.
. The hauler is authorized to add a service surcharge if they cannot drive to within 25' of the
enclosure.
. If the collection truck must enter your property to service bins the truck must be able to
circulate the parking area without backing up. Trucks are approximately 35 - 42 feet long, 8
feet wide and a have a turning radius of 37.1 feet.
. Do not put speed bumps, stamped concrete, cobblestones or other obstacles in front of
enclosures that would impede the access of the vehicle or bin rollout. Truck and bins must
be on a flat, concrete surface when being serviced.
. Whenever possible enclosures for apartments and condominiums should be geographically
distributed in a manner that is convenient for residents.
. Enclosures in commercial settings and public facilities should consider proximity to service
doors, traffic flow, delivery patterns, etc.

RECOMMENDATION:
That Council conduct the public hearing and adopt the resolution.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
The Presidents of the Men's and Women's Golf Clubs were notified and the proposed rate fee
changes were posted at the Pro Shop. Both the Men's and Women's Clubs support the new
greens fees.
DISCUSSION:
American Golf Corporation (AGC) submitted a request for rate changes to greens fees for the
Chula Vista Municipal Golf Course (CVMGC) in April of 2008. Staff recommends approving
modified Greens Fees rates, but different from AGC's proposaL The current greens fees have
been in effect since August 1, 2006. L, preparing its analysis, staff compared the rate changes
requested by AGC to comparable courses in the area, such as Coronado, Bonita, Balboa, and

Oceanside. The San Diego Country Club and Eastlake golf courses were excluded from this
analysis because these golf courses are privately and semi-privately o\\ined, respectively. AGC
did not object to staff comparing their proposed rate increase to the golf courses mentioned
above.
Golf Course.
The current golf course conditions reflect an improved on-going maintenance schedule that
delineates the tee boxes, fairways, and greens areas by mowing grass at a shorter height. Greens
quality remains consistent and bunker quality continues to improve. Golf course management
has emphasized regular course audits and has paid close attention to details from a golfer's
perspective. Furthermore, AGe has spent approximately $230,000 over the past t\\io years
making capital improvements to the golf course. Some of the new improvements include:
a Cart path installation (21,956 sq ft).
a Fairway sod installation (29,500 sq ft).
. Installed new HV AC in banquet rooms.
. Replaced irrigation pumps.
Greens Fees Analvsis.
Table A shows CVMGC's current rates, along with AGC's proposal and rates for Bonita, Balboa,
Oceanside and Coronado. As indicated in Table A, AGC proposes to increase resident and non-
resident greens fees for weekend 18 holes by $3.00. AGC also proposes to increase the resident
card from $10.00 to $20.00.
Staff recommends increasing resident and non-resident' greens fees for weekend 18 holes by
$3.00 and $4.00 respectively. The higher non-resident fee proposed by staff represents an
increase of 11.76% compared to an increase of 11.54% for residents. Also, as reflected in Table
A, non-residents typically pay higher greens fees at municipal golf courses. Regarding the
resident card, staff recommends increasing this fee from $10.00 to $12.00.
Senior Tickets. Currently, seniors who purchase the $50 monthly card have unlimited golf play
on weekdays for $3.00 per round. AGC recommends increasing the ticket fee from $3.00 to
$4.00 per round. However, this fee was increased from $2.00 to $3.00 per round "ith the last
rate increase in August of 2006. In addition, this fee only affects the group of seniors who were
"grand-fathered" as existing card holders, which means no new additional card sales can be
issued. As a result, the number of senior tickets has been reduced from 64 to 35 cardholders over
the past two years. Therefore, staff does not recommend increasing the senior tickets based on
the following information:
. There are only 35 monthly cardholders (45% reduction since 2006).
o Monthly cardholders pay an average cost of $8.00 per round on weekdays and represents
only 17 percent of all weekday play.
a The $12.00 resident senior card allow seniors unlimited play at a fee of$I1.00 per round
on weekdays and represents 61 percent of all weekday play.

The following information is also provided regarding the play at CVMGC based on 76,995
rounds:
. Residents represent 54 percent of total play; .
o Non-residents represent 18 percent of total play;
o Approximately 28 percent of total play are tournamentslreplays and greens fees specials;
· The senior rate of $11 remains the lowest when compared with Balboa, Mission Trails,
Coronado, Oceanside, and Bonita golf courses.

Decision Maker Conflicts.
Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City COlUlciI and has found a conflict, in that
COlUlcilmember McCann has holdings within 500' of the property, which is the subject of this
action.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Staff recommends approving modified Greens Fees rates, but different from AGC's proposal, to
go into effect on November 1,2008. The new greens fees increase will produce approximately
$7,800 annually in additional revenue for the General FlUld based on a projected 76,995 rOlUlds
of golf played at CVMGC

Mr. Tom Class
Parks and Open Space Manager
City ofChula Vista

Chula Vista, CA 91910
Dear Tom;
On behalf of Chula Vista Municipal Golf Course I am requesting the approval for golf rate
increases. Rates were decreased in 2006 due to an overall decrease in rounds played and a
competitive market analysis. Since the rate reduction we have had great success in securing more
rounds than forecasted, increasing rOlli'ds 4% from 2005. However, in this same time span
expenses have gone up considerably. 1v1inimum wage, health benefits, water and gas are just a
few examples of our increases in expenses. Our labor expense has grown 25% since 2004, whiie
water and other utilities have gro'Wn 200/0 over this same period. By add~""1g new equipment in
food and beverage and maL'"1tenance, QUT lease expense has grOwTI 73% sL.'1ce 2004. Costs in these
areas are forecasted to continue to rise.
Along with these operating expenses, we have continued ,to invest in capir.al projects throughout
this period. Following the $500,000 remodeling of the banquet facility, ivnerican Golf has
invested over $300,000 in capital funds over the past Two years at Chula Vista Municipal. We
have added $125,000 in c"-",, paths and have plans to continue this work~, 2008. Over S50,000
bas been spent on bunker and sod work during this time by adding sand to selected bunkers, and
improving our summer turf coverage with the installation of bennuda sod. These projects have
improved the overall guest experience and has added increased value to the properly
We have completed a market analysis of competitor courses and comparable rates. We have
identified a few rates L1clat we feel we are below the market and sbould increase. These suggested
increases still keep our rates below Li}e price of our competition, 3J."1d will continue to be a value to
Qur guests. I believe these increases are in order and will assist us in managing through the
demands of ~ncreasing operating expenses while remaining competitive in OUT market segment.
Thank you in advance for your time and consideration on this proposal. Please get back to us at
your earliest convenience as we would like to implement the changes right away.

SUMMARY
The purpose of these resolutions is to appropriate funds to develop the Master Plans for the Otay
Ranch Community Park (previously referred to as the 70-Acre Park) and Otay Ranch Village 2
neighborhood parks. It is anticipated that the master planning process including land parcel
acquisition, site analysis, and conceptual design for the Otay Ranch Community Park will take 18 to
30 months. The Master Plan programming and conceptual design for the two Otay Ranch
neighborhood parks is each estimated to be completed within 12 to 18 months. Sufficient monies are
available in the Park Acquisition and Development Fund to fund these work efforts.
RECOMJ'\1ENDATION
Council adopt the resolutions.
DISCUSSION
BACKGROUND
Community Parks and Nei!!hborhood Parks
The City requires that new development comply with the obligations contained within the City's
Park Land Dedication Ordinance (PLDO) - Chapter 17.10 of the Municipal Code - established
pursuant to the Quimby Act, requiring a level-of-service standard ofa minimum ratio of three acres
of public park land per 1,000 population so that new development will meet the demand for park and
recreation facilities and services resulting from new development. In satisfaction ofthis obligation,
the City accepts a combination of either park land or payment of in-lieu fees, together with fees for
the development of the park land.
Community Park
Policy 1.13 of the Parks and Recreation Master Plan defines the criteria the City uses for selecting
and accepting net useable land for community parks. A community park provides the opportunity for
the City to meet the recreational needs of youth and adult activities, as well as passive activities.
Community parks are designed to serve more than one neighborhood, and are generally 30 acres or
more in net, usable area. Typical facilities contained in a community park include lighted ball fields
and courts, recreational complexes and parking areas as needed for programmed uses. In addition,
community parks include facilities that are also found in neighborhood parks, such as picnic
facilities, informal fields, children's play areas and passive activities.
Neighborhood Park
The Parks and Recreation Master Plan defines the criteria the City uses for selecting and accepting
net usable land for neighborhood parks. Neighborhood parks are designed to serve residents within
walking distance of the park site (approximately Y2 to % mile), vary in size between 7 and 12 acres of
net useable area and are intended to provide a more relaxed informal nature than that of community
parks.

Meeting Date 10/21/08
Citywide Parks and Recreation Master Plan
The Citywide Parks and Recreation Master Plan (CVPR1\1P), dated November 2002, provides a
vision and the framework to guide the City Council and staff in the current evaluation and long range
planning of parks and recreation facilities throughout the City. This comprehensive document places
emphasis on connectivity of existing parks and proposed park projects which enhance the park and
recreational opportunities throughout the community. It is a comprehensive park plan which
recognizes that a park system is more than simply a collection of individual recreational elements.
Each park must be viewed within the context of the whole park system to ensure that it functions
properly in providing a balance ofrecniational opportunities. These resolutions will continue the
CVPR1\iIP effort and provide the City Council with a financial status of the Parks Acquisition and
Development Fund as well as appropriates funds for the Master Planning efforts of the Otay Ranch
Community Park and neighborhood parks.
The CVPR1\iIP is currently being updated to include the current inventory of parks and recreation
facilities and will be.presented to the community for feedback and input. The CVPR1\1P will be
completed simultaneously with the Master Planning efforts for the OtayRanch Community Park and
staff anticipates bringing the CVPR1\iIP forward for Council approval in the spring of2009.
In addition to completion of the CVPRtvlP, staff recommends utilizing existing Landscape
Architecture staffto develop the ~aster Plan for the Otay Ranch Community Park and Master Plans
for the two Otay Ranch - Village 2 neighborhood parks. Developing the Master Plans in-house will
expedite the process and elevate the quality of the final product at a lower cost. Master Planning
would include determining the preferred delivery method of park construction, identifying the scope
for detailed construction plans and specifications for a first phase and subsequent construction
phasing. It is anticipated that the development oflvfaster Plans for the Otay Ranch Community Park
and the two neighborhood parks will take the equivalent of three full-time landscape
planning/architect positions. Sufficient staff resources exist within Landscape Architecture Section
of the Engineering Department to perform the required workload for both the Otay Ranch
Community Park and the two neighborhood parks.
The Park ACQuisition and Develollment Fund
The Park Acquisition and Fund (PAD) was established in 1971 for the purposes of park land
acquisition and development per the Quimby Act. Attachment 1 provides a summary of the PAD
fund budget. The unappropriated balance of the PAD Fund is $30.4 million (reflective of Council
actions on October 7,2008, authorizing a fee refund totaling $1.2 million and appropriating $7.8
million to Mt. San Miguel Park). Funds collected under the legal authority of the Quimby Act may
only be spent on projects serving the same subdivision paying the fees. In order to ensure the
appropriate expenditure ofthe funds, stafftracks these monies by planning area. The available funds
are designated in the following manner:

Gtay Ranch Community Park - The City has collected $27.6 million for development of the Otay
Ranch Community Park, A total of$13 million remains to be collected from future developments
(Winds tar, Village 2, Eastern Urban Center [EUC] and Villages 4 and/or 8) to complete this park.

$13,035,001
The current estimate for construction of this park is approximately $49 million, This estimate is
based upon the acquisition of 17 acres of park land and development of the park's 70 acres, assuming
costs commensurate with recently constructed parks, A detailed development cost estimate for the
project will b~ prepared as part of the master planning process, Based upon the current estimated
project budget of$49 million, an $8,4 million gap is projected, This gap is the result of fluctuations
in the cost of acquiring and developing park lands occurring between the collection offees and the
actual construction of the park. In order to close this gap, it will be necessary to identify other
funding (PAD fees from other developments to be served by the park, interest earnings, etc,) or to
adjust the overall project budget The master planning process will include recommended means of
closing this estimated gap,
Windstar Pmject Fees - PAD fees generated by the Windstar project in Eastlake Vistas were
originally anticipated for allocation to the Mt San Miguel Community Park ($3,6 million); the Otay
Ranch Community Park ($450,000); and the installation of safety netting at the Sunset View roller-
hockey rink (5150,000), On October 7, 2008, the City Council authorized staff to move forward
with construction ofMt San Miguel Park in advance ofreceiving the Windstar PAD fees, Mt San
Miguel was made whole by applying PAD fund interest earnings, This action resulted in the
negative $406,906 balance in interest earnings shown in the above available fund balance summary.
If the Windstar project PAD fees are received in the future, they will be available to either repay the
interest earnings applied to Mt San Miguel, or to assist in the construction of the Otay Ranch
Community Park. If the fees are used to repay the interest earnings applied to Mt San Miguel, the
11-4
Page 5, Item \ \
Meeting Date 10/21/08
same interest funds would then be available for the Otay Ranch Community Park, resulting in the
same $13 million in future funding.
All Seasons Park - This park is on hold until Windstar PAD fees are received. In the interim, staff
will continue to work with the design-build contractor, Erickson Hall, to produce a final set of plans.
When sufficient funds are available, the Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) will be negotiated.
Sunset View Safety Netting - It is recommended that installation of the safety netting at the Sunset
View roller-hockey rink move forward in advance of receiving the Windstar fees, using the available
fund balance for eastern Chula Vista. The project will be funded by interest earnings projected for
Fiscal Year 2008/2009. The funding priority for future interest earnings is as follows: (1) installation
of safety netting at Sunset View; (2) repayment of the $406,906 negative balance created by funding
Mt. San Miguel, and (3) construction of All Seasons Parle It is anticipated that approximately
$450,000 in interest earnings will be required to close the funding gap for All Seasons Park, as
detailed in the PAD Budget included as Attachment I of this report.
Otay Ranch Village 2 Neighborhood Parks - A total of $600,000 is available to begin the Master
Plan process for the two Otay Ranch - Village 2 neighborhood parks. A total of$5.8 million remains
to be collected in PAD fee obligations to complete these parks.
Future Park Land Opportunities - City staff will continue to look for opportunities to purchase
additional park land parcels in western Chula Vista in an effort to meet the ratio of three acres of
public park land per 1,000 population. P ,AJ) fees would be fldj usted and collected accordingly. The
Parks and Recreation Master Plan update will also inclLlde identification of potential opportunities
for City Council consideration.
Otav Ranch Community Park
Site Information
The proposed Otay Ranch Community Park site is located within a southeast ponion ofOtay Ranch
Village 2 (the Village of Montecito), east of Village 3, and within a northeastern ponion of Otay
Ranch Village 4. The park site is bordered by La Media Road on the east, the Wolf Canyon MSCP
Preserve at its north and west, and Rock Mountain Road to the south.
The Otay Ranch General Development Plan was amended on December 13, 2005 (Resolution No.
2005-427) to group several of the Otay Ranch Village park obligations into a larger community park
than the standard-sized community park, as defined by the CVPR..MP , as an approach to maximizing
recreation facility yield. The site consists of approximately 70 acres accotnmodating a portion of
park acreage obligation from Village 2 and a portion ofthe park acreage obligation from Villages 4
and/or 8. The site also is intended to accommodate carryover obligation from previous development
between 1998 and 2005 from Villages I, 1 West, 5, 6 & 7, as well as with PAD fees collected for in-
lieu acreage and Park Development fees in 2002 and 2003 from Village 6 and in 2004 and 2006 from
Village 2.

Meeting Date iO/21/08
Preliminary Park Facilities
The proposed Otay Ranch Community Park has been identified by the CVPRlvIP to contain the
following primary facilities: ten softball fields with lighting; six soccer fields with lighting; four
tennis courts with lighting; four basketball courts with lighting; 45 picnic tables and several shade
structures; three children's play areas; restrooms and maintenance building; a 20,000 sq. ft.
gymnasium with a teen annex; and a 63,000 sq.ft. aquatic complex. Support and additional facilities
proposed are: open lawn areas; paved walkways with lighting; parking lots with lighting; and a
skateboarding/rollerblading area.
Park Development
As noted above, the proposed Otay Ranch Community Park site will provide significant recreational
opportunities for several villages within Otay Ranch in satisfaction of the project's P AD obligation.
Not all of the anticipated PAD development fees for the entire park acreage have been collected as
obligation triggers have yet to be reached.
As a result, phasing the park improvements is the most practical approach to developing the parle A
first phase of development would allow the City to provide recreational opportunities within a
reasonable time period. Phased development does require a carefully thought-Ollt plan for the whole
park and one that considers the site in its entirety, with all the associated opportunities and
constraints. Staff estimates the Master Plan process would extend a minimum of 12 months and as
long as 24 months. Some of the park site is already offered for dedication to the City arid other
portions are at the stage of acquisition. Sizeable amounts ofP AD monies have also been collected,
so the opportunity is presented to commence the master planning process, as well as the development
of a phase-one plan for improvements.
Village 2 Neighborhood Parks
Site Information
On May 23,2006 (Resolution 2006-158) the City approved the Final A Map No. 15350 for 0tay
Ranch Village 2, which created two Neighborhood Park parcels, P-2 (6.9 acres) and P-3 (7.1 acres).
These parks are intended to provide active and passive recreational opportunities for Village
residents. The City has received the irrevocable offers of dedication (IOD) for the park parcels.
The public parks will be designed in conformance with the Otay Ranch GDP, Otay Ranch SP A, and
Parks and Recreation Master Plan. Sufficient PAD fees have been collected from Village 2 to
undertake the master planning for both neighborhood parks.
Staff has projected a work program wherein the two neighborhood parks would be developed
simultaneously and, in so doing, create a more integrated and complementary park design for both of
the parks within the Village 2 neighborhoods. Additionally, there would be a staffing time savings in
this approach that would result in a reduction of the overall development costs for the proj ects.

Meeting Date 10/21/08
Neighborhood Park P-2 (7.1 acres)
Neighborhood Park P-2 is located adjacent to an elementary school and residential uses. Park
amenities will be in conformance with the requirements of the Parks and Recreation Master Plan and
may include multi-purpose open lawn areas, ball fields, sports courts, picnic shelters, tot lots,
comfort stations and maintenance buildings.
Neighborhood Park P-3 (6.9 acres)
Neighborhood ParkP-3 is located in the eastern areaofthe Village and is adjacent to the OtayRanch
High School, the Village commercial core, and residential uses. The location provides the
opportunity for an extended view corridor from the Village entry at La Media Road through the
commercial core to the park as a focal point of the Village. Park amenities will be in conformance
with the Parks and Recreation Master Plan, and may include multi-purpose open lawn areas, ball
fields, sports courts, picnic shelters, tot lots and restroom and maintenance buildings.
DECISION MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council and has found no property holdings
within 500 feet of the boundaries of the property, which is the subject of this action.
FISCAL IMPACT
These resolutions will appropriate funds and amend the Fiscal Year 2008/2009 Capital Improvement
Project budgets. In-house preparation of the proposed Master Plans will utilize available
development landscape staff during a downturn in the economy. The General Fund will be
reimbursed for all costs incurred in preparing these Park Master Plans. Sufficient funds have been
collected in the Park Acquisition and Development fund to begin the Master Plan process for the
Otay Ranch Community Park and the two neighborhood parks.
The parks and recreation facilities to be implemented as a result of the proposed Master Plans will
require some level of additional park maintenance staffing and funding for facility operation and
maintenance. Consideration of these budgetary impacts should be made prior to facility
implementation.

{l}f~L-lm Makes A Difference~the Story
by Helice "Sparky" Bridges
A te:lCher in New York decided to honor all of her high school scni(m by telling each or (hem
how much of;J diffLrcnce they made. Using the Who! Am Maim A Difference Ceremony, she called
each student to the from of the class, one at a time. First she told the class how lhat student made a
diffen:ncc to her. Then, she presented each of lht~m with a Who! Am A1akes A Difft:rence l3luc
Ribbon.
Afterwards the teacher decided to do a class project ro see what kind of impact acknowledge-
ment would have Oil their cOllllllllnity. She gave each of the students three more ribbons and
inSlTllCled thelll to go out and spread this Blue Ribbon Ceremony. They were to follow up on the
results, see who honored whom :lI1d rcporr h:](k to the class in about a week.
Olle of the boys in the class went to a junior executive in a nearby company ;llld honored him
for having helped him with his career planning. The boy gave him a Blue Ribbon, placing it on his
shirt just above his heart. Then he gave the junior executive two extra rihbons, <Ind said, "\X/e're doing
a class project on acknowledgemem, and we'd lih~ you 10 go out and find someone to honor. Cive
them rhis Blue Ribhon, then give them the extra Blue Ribbon so they can acknowledge another per-
son to keep this acknowledgement ceremony going. Then, please report back to me and tell me what
happened. "
Later that day rhe junior executive went ill ro see his boss, who Iud been noted, by the way, as
being kind of a grouchy fellow. He sat his boss down and told him tlut he deeply ;ldmired him for
being a creative genius. The junior executive asked him ifhe would accept the gift of the Blue Ribbon
~ll1d would he give him permission to put it 011 him. His surprised boss said, "\X!ell, sure."
The junior executive took the Blue RihhOl"l and placed it right on his boss' jacket ahove his
hean. As he g,lve him the laSt extra ribbon, he said, "Would you do me a favor? \X/ould you take this
extt;! rihbon and pass it on by honoring someone else? The young boy who first gave me the ribhons
is doing a project in schoo] and we want to keep this recognition ceremony going to find out how it
affects people."
That night the boss went home to his Ii/-year-old son and sat him down. I-Ie said, "The most
incredible thing happened to me today. I W:lS in my office and olle of the junior executives came in
and told me ht~ admired tllt and gave me a Blue Rihbon for being a creative genius. Im;lgine. He
thinks I'm a creative genius. Then he pur this Blue Ribhon that says Who! Am Makn A DijJt'Yef/a
on my jacket above my hean. He gave me an extra ribbon and asked me to find someone else to
honor. As I was driving home tonight, I starred thinking about whom I would honor with this rib-
bon and I thought ahout you. I \vant to honor you.
"My d:l}'S ate really hectic and when 1 come home I don't pay a lot of arrenrion to you.
Sometimes I scream at YOIl r(Jr l10t getting good enough grades in school or for your bedroom being
a mess. Bur somehow tonight, I just wamed to sit here and, ""'ell, just let you know that you do make
a din-trence ro me. Besides your mother, you are tile most important person in my lit"C. You're a great
kid and I love you!"
The surrled boy starred to sob :lnd sob. He couldn't stop crying. His whole body shook. He got
up, walked over to a drawer, opened it and rook out a gUll. Holding the gun in his hand, he looked
up at his father and through his tears he said, "I was planning on commi'tingsuicide tomorrow, Dad,
because I didn'r think you loved me. Now I dOIl't need to."

(he world. The grell/est thing about dremns iJ tbilt they are as unique
ilS the hulividu{zl to whom they belong.
Late :H night, as I g3.ze up
at the stars, I dream of many
things. I' J like to win an Olym-
pic mc,hl and marry a guy who
is not only good looking, but
kind and head over heds in
love with me. Bur, most impor-
randy, I dream of a more loving
and accepting world.
I know I am nor alone in
these dreams. I meet people
that share them every day.
Unfortunately, they don't al-
ways know how to make their
d rcams come true. I'm happy
to say that I've not only fi-
nally found a way to change
the world but also to make the
dream of a lady from Califor-
n ia come true as welL
You'rc probably wondering
who this lady is, what is her
dream, and how am I going to
change the world, Her name is
Helice Bridges. She is the cre-
ator of the "\Vho I Am .Makes
a Difference". Blue Ribbon and
founder of Difference Makers
International. a nonprofit edu-
cat ion a 1 organization.

people worldwide [as of July
2007] have learned to bring
out the greatness in themselves
and others in a minutc or less.
It is her dream to have a Blue

v.'Orld.
J discovaed the pownj;d

read Helices 'TVho JAm Jdakes

the st01)' sevenz! times and llIor/.:-
ing m}' way through a b,mdful rl
tissues, I decided thlll tbis was a
program desperately needed in
my community.
I presented the "\Xfho I Am
Makes a Difference"" program
to a group I chair. It's called the
Eaton Rapids Youth Advisory
our campaign ended, students
were requesting more ribbons;
they even went home and made
their own rib-
bons so thev
could continue
the acknowl-
edgement cer-
emony. They
loved having
the power to
walk up to the
important peo-
ple in their lives
and tell them
how much they
appreciated
them. To this
day, Blue Rih-
bans can he
seen al! O\'er the school - on
student lockers, bags and bul-
letin hoards.
Citizens of Eaton Rapids
guickly heard about the won-
<.icrful things happening at
school. A committce of people
(including our superintemknt
and myself) quickly formed
our community, our country
and our world.
Today I come before you
with a chal-
lenge. I chal-
lenge the youth
of America
to unite :1nd
change the
world. Orga-
nize a Bille
Ribbon Cam-
paign in YOllr
church, school
or communiry.
Don't let the
critics and dis-
believers beat
YOll down, tdl
YOll it is im-
possible, that it can't be dOlle.
When times gcc tough, hold
your head high because \Vho
You Arc n.-hkes a Difference.
Remember those \vho are cra-
zy enough to believe the)' can
change the world arc the ones

"Let's Paint the Town Blue"
Remember.those who are crazy enough to believe
they can change the world are the ones who do.
Committee. l'vIv 6 fellow StlJ~
dents also saw the need for th is
program in our community. \X!e
decided to purchase 200 Blue
Ribbons and ran "\Vho I Am
.M akes a Difference"~\Xfeek at our
middle school and high school.
"I11e program was an immediate
success. To put it simply, some
of the most wOllderful people in
the world had newr realized that
they nude a difference in the lives
of thosc around them.
'Ihe self-esteem building that
occurred during this week was
truly amazing. For weeks aner
a team and pulled together a
gigantic community-wide Blue
Ribbon Week.
I am proud to announce
Eaton Rapids designated April
18-26, ]998 as "Who] Am
Makes a Difference"~ wreck,
with the theme "Let's Paint
the Town Blue," To date, o\'er
5,825 people have been ac-
knowledued'

Changing the v.'orld means
looking no farther than your
own back door because when
we heal a broken relationship
or pcrson, we heal ourseh'es,
