ACTION ITEMS (Continued)

Chula Vista residents the opportunity to vote on the proposed ballot initiative. He then

proposed initiative would affect 40,000 higher-paying jobs; did not take in to account the
environmental, traffic, pollution, and noise that could adversely affect the public; the proposal
could potentially shift millions of dollars from the 5 port cities of San Diego to the hands of
private developers, and she was against ballot box planning.
Bill Hall, Port Commissioner Emeritus and Chula Vista resident, responded to questions from
Deputy Mayor Rindone regarding components of the proposed initiative. He also spoke about
the negative economic impacts the initiative would have on the region, including sustainability of
waterfront repair capability, which in turn would jeopardize the presence of the Navy, as well as
numerous technology contractors within the region.
Deputy Member Rindone asked, and City Attorney Miesfeld responded that it was appropriate
for the Council to go on record to support or oppose a measure, but the expenditure of public
funds could not be authorized toward that effort.

Deputy Mayor Rindone moved to oppose the November 2008 ballot initiative
entitled, "The Port of San Diego Marine Freight Preservation and Bayfront
Redevelopment Initiative". Councilmember McCann seconded the motion.

SUMMARY
The Energy Efficiency Lighting Retrofit Project is part of the City of Chula VistalSDG&E
Partnership Program and is funded through the California Energy Commission (CEC) loan
program. This retrofit is one component of the Engineering Department staff s program to comply
with the requirements as outlined in the Energy Savings Summary Tables developed by consultants
in cooperation with SDG&E and the CEC.
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 I categorical exemption pursuant to Section 15301 (Existing Facilities) of the State
CEQA Guidelines because the project involves the retrofitting of existing lighting fixtures with
more energy efficient fixtures. Thus, no further environmental review is necessary.
RECOMMENDATION
Council adopt the resolution.
BOARDS/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
Not applicable.
DISCUSSION
The Energy Efficiency Lighting Retrofit Project is the first phase of a plan to retrofit City
facilities with the most efficient lighting available. Existing lighting fixtures will be replaced
with energy efficient fixtures which save energy and greatly reduce staff maintenance. The new
3-1
"
11/04/08, Item ~
Page 2 of 3
fixtures have a longer lamp life span and a ten year warranty. Additional staff time savings will
be derived from changing out lamps that have currently reached their life span.
This facility lighting improvement project is part of the City's broader efforts to promote energy
efficiency at municipal sites and to lower citywide greenhouse gas or "carbon" emissions. The
Chula Vista/SDG&E Partnership Program has provided financial support for City staff to
evaluate, identify and coordinate the installation of these energy retrofit projects. Because
Partnership nmds are not able to be used for capital costs associated with renewable energy
upgrades, the City pursued and was awarded California Energy Commission loans which are
designed to provide local agencies with capital funding to install energy-efficient systems and
are re-paid through the resulting energy savings. Once the loan debt is re-paid, the City would
capture the net savings on its annual energy costs.
On September 12, 2008, staff prepared documents and advertised the Energy Efficiency Lighting
Retrofit at Multiple Facilities Project (CIP No. GG202E) through the formal bid process. On
September 24,2008, the Director of Engineering received two (2) bids for the project as follows:
CONTRACTOR BID AMOUNT
l. American Power Solutions - Fullerton, CA $64,180
2. Ace Electric, Inc. - San Diego, CA $126,370
The low bid submitted by American Power Solutions of $64, 180 is below the Engineer's estimate
of$75,000 by $10,821 or 16.8%. Staff has verified the references provided by American Power
Solutions and its work has been satisfactory.
DECISION MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council and has found that Councilman'
Castaneda has 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 General Fund as there are sufficient funds in the existing project. The
CIP expenditures will be reimbursed through the CEC loan program previously approved by
Council on April 1, 2008. City staff costs associated with implementing the projects will be
funded by the current SDG&E Partnership Program.
FUNDS REQUIRED FOR PROJECT
A. Contract Amount (GG202E) $64,180.00
B. Contingencies (10% of contract amount) $6,418.00
TOTAL FUNDS REQUIRED FOR CONSTRUCTION $70,598.00

FUNDS AVAILABLE FOR CONSTRUCTION
A. Existing C!P, GG202E $70,598.00
TOTAL FUNDS AVAILABLE FOR CONSTRUCTION $70,598.00
The initial investment from the General Fund for this project will be reimbursed through the
CEC loan program whereby anticipated annual energy savings will be first utilized to payoff the
debt service for the loan and thereafter all future energy savings will be realized in the General
Fund.
Upon completion of the project, the improvements will require only routine City maintenance.

The original agreement included a not-to-exceed amount of $200,000. The agreement allowed
for increasing the not-to-exceed amount with mutual agreement of the parties. The agreement
was amended on September 16, 2008, increasing the not-to-exceed amount to $475,000, an
increase of $275,000.
Due to the nature of the work and expedient effort of National City to get projects completed,
staff has had to incur a reasonable amount of overtime. The City has received to date a total of
$155,531.25 in contract revenue. It is anticipated that the City will receive a not-to-exceed
amount of $475,000 for staff time including overtime as contracted. Of that amount, actual
overtime incurred and anticipated overtime is estimated at $122,708. Approval of this item will
appropriate overtime funds in this amount to the Development Services and Engineering
operating budgets, along with offsetting revenues. There are sufficient funds received and
anticipated per contract from National City for this purpose.
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
I 8704.2(a)(I) is not applicable to this decision.
FISCAL IMPACT
The FY09 budget assumed revenues in the amount of $200,000 per the original agreement with
National City dated June 3, 2008. The agreement has been amended on September 16, 2008 to a
not to exceed amount of $475,000. Tonight's action will appropriate unanticipated revenue in
the amount of $122,708 in the Engineering and Development Services (Engineering and Public
Works) Overtime expenditure budgets and offsetting revenue resulting in a no net impact to the
General Fund and Development Service Fund.

projects. If the project requires project management/inspection services beyond the work hours
assumed for this estimate or if services are needed beyond the estimate shown above, staff costs will
increase accordingly. Invoicing shall be based on 0.10 hour increments.
Should the projects require City of Chula Vista services beyond the scope outlined above, we will
proceed on a time and material basis based on our agreement with the City of National City and at
the direction of the City of National City's City Engineer.
It should be noted that our agreement with the City of National City authorizes an aggregate
payment amount not to exceed $200,000.00 for engineering, construction management, and
project management services. The authorization of this scope of work for $314,480.00, in
addition to the previous invoices for June and July 2008 totaling $83,417.50, would increase
the aggregate total payment amount to $397,897.50 for all aforementioned projects.
Total Contract
In addition to the above scope of work, it was mutually agreed that an additional $50,000 in Building
Project Manager (Gordon Day) services would be needed for Park Phases 1, 2, and 3, the Police
Department and Former Library Remodel projects. Additional work has also been assigned to Mr.
Day. We conservatively estimate that the total cost of services to be provided by Mr. Day may
approach $75,000.
Therefore, we recommend that the contract's "not-to-exceed'.' authorization be increased to $475,000
at this time. This would result in an amendment amount of $275,000. An exhibit is attached
showing staff costs per project.
Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

SUMMARY
The City of Chula Vista would like to enter into an MOU with SANDAG for the purpose of
conducting a shldy to examine multi-modal improvements to the 1-5 corridor between the Main
Street interchange and State Route 54 (SR-54). The MOU provides that S^"NDAG will be the
lead agency and defines roles and obligations for funding. The Council action tonight is for
approval to enter into the MOU and to transfer funds from the [-5/H Street Interchange Project to
the 1-5 Multi-Modal Corridor Study Project.
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 6 categorical exemption pursuant to Section 15306 (Information Collection) of the
State CEQA Guidelines. Thus, no further environmental review is necessary.

Not applicable.
DISCUSSION
The City, along with its partners at Caltrans, FHW A and SAi'IDAG desire to participate in a
study to examine multi-modal improvements to the 1-5 Corridor between the Main Street
interchange and SR-54. This study would identify the ultimate improvements needed for the
four-mile long 1-5 corridor that includes the freeway, the railway corridor and the local street
crossings and under-crossings within the City of Chula Vista. The City desires to co-sponsor a
joint multi-modal transportation study along 1-5, (the Project) with SANDAG (Attachment I) .
Separately, Caltrans has also identified a project team that will assist on this effort. The funding
for Caltrans staff is already approved in the Caltrans budget. SANDAG approved their Fiscal
Year 2008/2009 work program budget for this project on October 24, 2008. Neither the Caltrans
nor the SANDAG budget is part of the City of Chula Vista Capital Improvement Program
budget. The project lies entirely within the jurisdiction of the City of Chula Vista but assistance
and coordination on a regional level is required ofCaltrans and SANDAG.
The goal of the [-5 Multi-Modal Corridor Study is to evaluate various modes of transportation
within this corridor in order to identify ultimate improvements to accommodate current and
future traffic demands in the 1-5 south corridor from Main Street to SR-54. This study will
analyze interchange spacing and freeway operations, Light Rail Transit (LRT) and freight rail
operations running parallel to 1-5, and transitlpedestrianlbicycle circulation adjacent to and
across the 1-5 corridor.
This study will prepare preliminary concept alternatives integrating both highway and LRT and
freight rail improvements within this segment of the 1-5 corridor. The areas of focus will include
freeway and rail facilities along 1-5 at E Street, F Street, H Street, Marina Parkway/J Street, L
Street (including hook ramps), Palomar Street, and Main Street. These preliminary concept
alternatives will be narrowed to three concept alternatives.
The highway improvements presented in the concept alternatives will be carried forward by
Caltrans in the preparation of a Project Study ReportlProject Development Support (PSRlPDS)
to serve as the Project Initiation Document (PID) for highway and corridor improvements.
Subsequent to this effort, Caltrans, City, and/or SMTIAG will then proceed with the
environmental document and design phases for the highest priority project(s).
On October 17, and October 24, 2008, SANDAG's Transportation Committee and Board of
Directors, respectively approved the MOD pending tonight's City of Chula Vista approval
(Attachment 2). The purpose of the MOD with SANDAG is to define funding and roles between
City and SANDAG. In addition, the MOD allows SANDAG to take the lead role on the Project.
The scope of work has been prepared by Caltrans and been approved by City and SAi'IDAG
staff. SANDAG has already screened several consultant teams that can adequately perform this
study. The consultant selection process has been completed with Caltrans approval. We have
received a letter from SANDAG attesting that they will be co-sponsors on this project
(Attachment 2).

The consultant will prepare a PSRlPDS document to serve as the PID for the LRT and freight
rail improvements proposed in the concept alternatives. The PSRlPDS will be prepared in
accordance with Caltrans policies and procedures and include preliminary engineering and
preliminary environmental analysis, estimated constmction costs, and a conceptual phasing plan
for financing and construction.
The City of Chula Vista has received a Federal grant in the amount of up to $1,987,200 in
SAFETEA-LU funds for this study titled, "Conduct a study to examine multi-modal
improvements to the [-5 corridor between the Main Street interchange and State Route 54". This
Federal reimbursement fund requires a minimum of 20% local matching funds and the City has
identified $540,000 in TransNet funds for the match. Initially, this funding was to study only the
interchange at I-5/H Street in our CIP program identified at STM 362, but staff worked with
Congressman Filner's office, in the SAFETEA-LU Technical Corrections Act of 2008, to
increase the study limits of this study to not only include the H Street interchange but six others;
SR-54, E Street, J Street, L Street, Palomar Street & Main Street in Chula Vista. A corridor study
is needed before we can initiate any interchange improvements. Tonight's Council action will
transfer funds from STM 362 into the Ie5 Multi-modal Corridor Project STM 361. Since there
are several modes of transportation, such as bicycle, pedestrian, rail and transit, that are also
impacted along this constrained corridor, the study intends to evaluate all of them to list in order
of priority the projects that should be undertaken so that they are all coordinated and phased as
funding becomes available.
This effort will result in a Project Study Report, preliminary engineering and estimates but does
not include an environmental document or construction. . Staff intends to utilize any remaining
local and Federal funds to advance the environmental and design portion of the initial priority list
of project(s). It is anticipated that this initial phase of work for the corridor will take
approximately 24 months to complete. The tentative project schedule is to begin in November,
2008 and complete the work by end of Fiscal Year 2011.
DECISION MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council and has found a conflict exists, in
that Councilmember Ramirez has property holdings within 500 feet of the boundaries of the
property which is the subject of this action.
FISCAL IMPACT
Grant funds are available for expenditure on a reimbursement basis by the Applicant (City of
Chula Vista) aftcr a fully executed MOU with SAt'IDAG is secured.
At this time, staff is recommending transferring existing funds in the amount of $540,000 from
C[p STM362 to STM361 (which will close STM362 as it is no longer needed), establishing
STM361 and appropriating grant funds in the amount of $1,987,200 amending the Fiscal Year
2008/2009 Capital Improvement Program. As mentioned above, expenditures are on a
reimbursement basis, however, there are sufficient matching funds to mitigate cash flow
deficiencies.

A breakdown of estimated expenditures for the initial phase of project and available funding for
the entire project are as follows:
Estimated Expenditures for Initial Phase
City Staff Services $ 200,000
Consultant Services (Not to Exceed for Initial Phase) $1,000,000
Total Estimated Expenditures for Initial Phase $1,200,000
Available Fundin!!
TransNet Funds (Transfer from STM362 to STM361) $ 540,000
Grant (Additional Appropriation to STM361) $1,987,200
Total Available Fundin!! 52,527,200
Non-Federal local agency (TransNet) funds in the amount of $496,800 are minimally needed.
The City has $540,000 of local funds from TransNet-L ($50,000) and Transnet-LSI (5400,000)
funds. The City is now overmatched by $43,200, the difference between our required match and
what is locally available. The excess $43,200 has been and shall continue to be used for City
staff charges prior to the Federal authorization to proceed. Once Federal authorization to
proceed is given, most likely in November, City staff can begin to seek City staff and consultant
reimbursement on expenses through Caltrans via the Federal fund reimbursement procedures.
Caltrans and SANDAG staff costs are not part of the City ClP budget since each Agency has a
separate budget for their staff.

REQUEST FOR CO-SPONSORSIDP OF PROJECT TO "CONDUCT A STUDY TO
EXAMINE MULTI-MODAL IMPROVEMENTS TO THE 1-5 CORRIDOR BETWEEN
THE MAIN STREET INTERCHANGE AND STATE ROUTE 54".
Please allow this letter to serve as a request by the City of Chula Vista (City) to request that
SANDAG be a co-sponsor with the City to conduct the multi-modal transportation study (the
Study) along Interstate-5. Although the project lies within the jurisdiction of the City ofChula
Vista, Caltrans and SANDAG staff have agreed that the Study is of regional importance since it
will help prioritize and integrate the Regional Transportation Plan by developing a package of
short and long-range actions to reduce traffic congestion along and adj acent to this corridor.
Thus, it is anticipated that staff from all three agencies will work on the Study collaboratively.
Said Study is referred to in the SAFETEA-LU Technical Corrections Act of 2008 under Sec.
105. "PROJECT AUTHORIZATIONS, with the following: "Conduct a study to examine multi-
modal improvements to the 1-5 corridor between the ll.fain Street ilZterchmige and State Route
54". This in turn is also known as Demo Id # 677 and is in the 2008 RTIP as project # CHV30.
As you are aware, the City of Chula Vista has received discretionary funding for up to
$1,987,200 for the 1-5 South Multi-Modal Corridor Study and has budgeted $540,000 local
match, see attached. To that end, the City desires to utilize SANDAG's on-call engineering
consultant to complete the Study and plans on entering into an agreement with SANDAG. A
more detailed Memorandum of Understanding is presently being worked on to more specifically
detail the roles and responsibilities of the City and SAt'lDAG in these regards. We anticipate
that the agreement will be presented to our Council for approval on November 4, 2008.
Per a recent meeting held with Caltrans' District Local Assistance Engineering (DLAE) staff, a
Demo fund co-sponsor change is needed with SA1\'DAG in order to utilize the SANDAG
consultant "on-call" list. The DLAE office would also like SANDAG to confirm that all
procedures for selecting the consultant have followed Chapter lOaf the "Local Assistance
Procedures Manual", LPP 06-02.
The City has placed a high priority on the subject report considering its significant beneficial
impacts of improving transportation and goods movement in the south county and alleviating
traffic congestion, at critical locations within the Region.

SUMMARY
No comprehensive study of groundwater resources currently exists for the coastal San Diego
area, including Chula Vista. The present USGS project proposes to complete such a study using
the installation of multi-depth monitoring wells at select specific locations in four coastal river
basins; San Dieguito, San Diego River, Sweetwater River, and the Otay River. The USGS has
requested that the City grant an easement to allow the installation of one of these monitoring
wells adjacent to the Otay River.
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 6 categorical exemption pursuant to Section 15301 [Information Collection] of the
State CEQA Guidelines. In addition, the Environmental Review Coordinator has reviewed the
proposed project for compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and has
determined that the project qualifies for a Categorical Exclusion pursuant to Paragraph 9.5,
Sections A, F & K [Exploratory/observation groundwater well drilling] of the National
Environmental Quality Policy Act of 1969 as defined by the United States Department of the
Interior. Thus, no further environmental review is necessary.
RECOMMENDATION
Council adopt the resolution.

DISCUSSION
No comprehensive study of groundwater resources currently exists for the coastal San Diego
area, including Chula Vista. The present United States Geological Survey (USGS) project
proposes to complete such a study using the installation of multi-depth monitoring wells at select
specific locations in four coastal river basins; San Dieguito, San Diego River, Sweetwater River,
and the Otay River. The USGS has requested that the City grant an easement to allow the
installation of one of these monitoring wells adjacent to the Otay River. The site selected is
located on a portion of City owned land that is going to be the Mace Street staging area for the
Otay Valley Regional Park (OVRP).
The USGS has constructed, installed and is presently monitoring data from eight wells in
southwestern San Diego County. The piezometers; small diameter PVC conduits installed within
the primary well borehole at various depths, are routinely, and in some cases continuously,
monitored for ground water level and water quality. The collected data helps answer questions
vital to water resource planning, such as availability and distribution of high quality
groundwater, advance warning of intrusion of seawater into water used for public supply, and of
any potential land subsidence due to withdrawing resources from the subsurface. The USGS
wells are designed as permanent installations that will provide data to assist with water resource
planning and management for decades. Real-time monitoring data for all USGS wells is made
available via satellite link and web-based user interface.
Staff has reviewed the request and determined that the proposed monitoring well is consistent
with the uses permissible for this land. Additionally, the proposed encroachment location will
not interfere with the construction operation or maintenance of the future Mace Street or the
Mace street staging area of the OVRP. While the City is under no obligation to grant this
encroachment to the USGS without compensation, staff has determined that, due to the location
and restricted alternative uses for this area, the value of the encroachment is nominal. Further,
the benefits of ongoing monitoring of underground water supply and quality outweigh any
impacts caused by the facilities.
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
There is no net negative impact to the General Fund. The USGS will pay $2,500 for staff time
expended on this project.

The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) held the key Fed Funds rate at 2.00% in
light of negative job growth and the continued downturn in the housing market and credit
crunch. The weakening economy is also negatively affecting retail sales. Two-year
Treasuries yielding 2.62% at the beginning of the quarter dropped significantly to 1.98%
at the end of the quarter due to a "flight to quality" caused by global market volatility.
In September, the federal government placed two of the largest government sponsored
mortgage financing companies, Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie
Mac) and Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA) under federal
conservatorship. These agencies are now being managed by their federal regulator, and
the Treasury has promised to provide financial support as needed. September also
marked the end for several other financial giants. Lehman Brothers, the fourth largest
Wall Street investment bank, declared bankruptcy, 'Menill Lynch, the third largest Wall
Street firm, agreed to be purchased by Bank of America, and AIG, the largest insurance
company in the U.S., needed an $85 billion emergency loan from the federal government
to avoid bankruptcy and more crisis in the financial world. Banks were also affected as
Washington Mutual was seized by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC),
and its assets were sold to lP Morgan in what is officially the nation's largest bank
failure. Wachovia, the nation's fomih largest bank, was also struggling financially and is
cunently being sold to Wells Fargo.
In order to avoid a systemic collapse of the financial system, the Treasury and the Federal
Reserve are working together to manage the crisis. . The Federal Reserve has provided
huge levels of liquidity in the market by nationalizing several large firms and facilitating
the takeovers of others. The Treasury has tentatively structured a $700 billion plan that
involves the government's purchase of impaired assets from various banks and
investment firms in an effort to restore liquidity to the banks, repair their credit standings
and stimulate lending to businesses and consumers. The effects of the bailout plan will
take months to be realized, and forecasts for the remainder of the year call for slower
economic growth and low consumer confidence.
As of September 30, 2008, the weighted average yield (average interest rate) on the
Pooled Investment Portfolio was 3.794%, which is a .142% decrease trom the previous
quarter's 3.936%. This decrease is primarily attributable to higher yielding investments
maturing and being reinvested at the cunent lower interest rates.
At the end of this quarter, the weighted average maturity of the portfolio decreased from
2.60 years to 2.43 years due to the purchase of shorter term investments now yielding
higher rates than longer term investments, and still remains within the Council Policy of
less than 3.0 years.
Considering the projected lImmg of cash receipts and disbursements, including the
proceeds from the Tax and Revenue Anticipation Note bonowirig and the structure ofthc
Pooled Investment Portfolio, the City should be able to comfortably meet overall cash
flow needs over the next six months.

SUMMARY
The City currently leases 5,843 square feet of office space from Investcal Reality, Inc. This office
space, located at 900 Lane A venue has been used by the Building Inspection and Plan Review
sections of the Planning and Building Department since 1998. Due to the relocation of all Planning
and Building Services to the City Hall campus, this office space is no longer needed. Because the
current lease has 13 months left before it expires, stafT is proposing to buyout the remainder of the
term at a discounted rate and surrender the lease.
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 activity is not a "Project"
as defined under Section 15378(b)(5) 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
In December 1998, the City entered into a sub-lease with the Eastlake Company for office space at
900 Lane Avenue to accommodate the Building Inspection section of the Planning and Building
Department. In December 1999, Council approved an amendment to the sublease adding space for
the Plan Review Section of the Planning and Building Department and for a satellite permit
processing center. When their lease expired in December 2004, Eastlake declined to renew and the
City, by Council Resolution 2004-338 entered into a five-year lease with Investcal Reality, the
8-1

property owner, for the office space. This lease is current, has 13 months remaining, and obligates
the City to pay rent totaling $12,459 per month for the space. Additionally, the City pays
approximately $1,200 per month for utilities at the site. Due to the relocation of all Planning and
Building Services to the City Hall Campus, this office space is no longer needed.
Staff has looked at options for this space and has determined that, due to the short duration of the
remaining lease and the current state of the real estate market, the City's options are limited. There
is considerable vacant commercial space currently available in the area. This available space would
be in direct competition with our space were we to try to sub-lease for ourselves or find a new tenant
for Investcal. Both of those options also have financial and legal obligations attached. Based upon
this analysis, combined with the City's ongoing expenditure for rent and utilities, staff approached
lnvestcal and has negotiated a proposed buy-out that would allow the City to surrender the lease.
The terms as proposed are as follows:
. The City would pay lnvestcal a sum equal to eleven (II) months rent or $137,049.
. The City would forfeit its security deposit, which is $10,780 and has already been paid.
. The City would completely vacate the premises no later than November 15, 2008.
. Investcal would accept surrender of the City's lease and release the City from any further
obligations on this account.
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 lMPACT
The City's future obligation under the lease agreement is 13 months, trom November 2008 through
December 2009. With $12,459 in monthly lease costs and $1,200 in estimated monthly utility costs,
this equates to an estimated future expense of $177,567. Under the proposed Surrender Agreement,
the City will incur costs totaling $147,829. Because the security deposit has already been paid, the
net payment resulting trom this action would be $137,049. The net savings to the City resulting from
the proposed agreement totals $29,738, and is detailed as tallows:

DISCUSSION
San Diego Gas and Electric Company (SDG&E) has approached the City indicating its desire to
remarket previously issued Industrial Development Bonds (IDBs) without bond insurance. Prior
to any remarkcting drorts SDG&E believes it prudent that the bond Indentures and Loan
Agreements be amended in order to facilitate remarketing the IDBs as uninsured. The attached
letter from SDG&E explains the events and the reasons that have compelled them to make their.
request. This staff report provides a brief history of past City Council actions for the IDBs and
summarizes SDG&E's request along with a set of detlnitions at the end of the report. .
In April 1996, the City Council adopted Ordinance 2669 amending Chapter 3.48 of the Chula
Vista Municipal Code to permit the refinancing of regional utility projects upon a finding of City
bene tIt. The City Council also passed a resolution setting an issuance fee at 25 basis points (1/4
of I percent) of the principal amount, payable at the time of issue, plus costs. The fee was
subsequently increased to 35 basis points in an MOD between the City and SDG&E dated
October 12, 2004.
On September 11, 1998, the City of Chula Vista and SDG&E entered into a Letter of Agreement
granting Chula Vista exclusive rights to be the issuer of SDG&E's IDBs on the following
conditions:
1. The processing ofSDG&E's applications for IDBs is completed in a timely manner; and
2. Chula Vista's issuance charge is no more than 35 basis points (in addition to Chula
Vista's administrative costs related to bond issuance); and
3. Chula Vista charges no annual fee or costs; and
4. Chula Vista's Bond Counsel indicates that Chula Vista's involvement with respect to
each issue of IDBs is permissible under the then current tax laws and that it is not
necessary to obtain a Superior Court judgment in a validation action..
On March 23, 2004, the City Council passed resolution 2004-093 that authorized the issuance
and sale of up to $686.4 million of IDBs to refund IDBs previously issued by the City of Chula
Vista and the City of San Diego to finance or refinance certain costs of gas and electric facilities
for SDG&E. This action resulted in the City of Chula Vista issuing IDBs in 2004 and 2006 for
the benefit of SDG&E. In June 2004 $251.3 million in IDBs were issued and in September 2006
another $161.2 million was issued to refund two series of City of San Diego IDBs. Both the
2004 IDBs and the 2006 IDBs are secured by SDG&E's First Mortgage Bonds. In addition, the
2004 IDBs are insured by XL Capital Assurance and the 2006 IDBs are insured by Ambac
Assurance Corporation. The lOBs were issued as variable rate bonds in an auction rate mode.
The credit rating agencies (Moody's, S&P and Fitch) initially rated both the issues "AAA"
because the IDBs were insured. However, due to the mortgage meltdown the two bond
insurance companies' credit ratings were downgraded from their "AAA" status. The credit
downgrade on the insurers has made the IDBs less desirable for investors and accordingly

SDG&E has had to pay above market rate interest in order to maintain investor interest in the
two IDB issues. Paying higher than market rate interest has caused SDG&E or Sempra Energy
to purchase and hold all of the 2004 and 2006 IDBs until they can be remarketed at more
favorable interest rates to new investors.
According to SDG&E, potential remarketing agents. for the 2004 and 2006 IDBs have indicated
that lower interest rates can be achieved without bond insurance. SDG&E has indicated that the
existing Indentures and Loan Agreements for the 2004 and 2006 IDBs specifically envision that
the initial Bond Insurance may be telminated upon direction from SDG&E. The bond insurers,
XL Capital Assurance and Ambac Assurance Corporation, both appear willing to cancel their
respective Insurance Policies. The Loan Agreements require SDG&E's First MOligage Bonds to
remain in place as long as the 2004 and 2006 IDBs remain outstanding. SDG&E has further
indicated that there is no requirement in the Indentures or the Loan Agreements that SDG&E
arrange for a substitute Credit Facility if the initial bond insurance for the 2004 and 2006 IDBs is
terminated.
SDG&E believes it would be possible to remarket the 2004 and 2006 bonds without amendments
to the Indentures and the Loan Agreements. However, to align the bond documents with the
remarketed IDBs' uninsured status, it would be useful to amend various other provisions of the
Indentures and Loan Agreements in anticipation of the termination of the XL Capital Assurance
and Ambac Assurance Corporation Policies (e.g. delete requirements of Bond Insurer consents
and exercise of remedies upon Default even after the Policies have been terminated).
SDG&E is proposing to amend and restate the Indentures and Loan Agreements to:
1. ClarifY that Bond Insurance is just one permitted type of Credit Facility.
2. Clarify that a person who provides a. Credit Facility with respect to fewer than all the
Bonds generally is to be treated as a Credit Provider only in respect of the Bonds covered
by the Credit Facility.
3. Clarity that any Credit Facility may be terminated at will by the Borrower (consistent
with the terms ofthat Credit Facility) other than as expressly specified in the Indenture or
the Loan Agreement.
4. Clarity that any person who once was a Credit Provider ceases to be treated as a Credit
Provider after its Credit Facility has been terminated.
5. Eliminate the requirement of a Credit Facility upon interest rate Adjustment Dates.
6. ClarifY that the Liquidity Facility requirement is optional once an Initial Credit Provider
ceases to provide a Credit Facility.
7. Clarify that Initial Credit Providers' project access and records examination rights are
limited to the periods their 9redit Facilities are in effect.
In addition, Ambac Assurance Corporation will require the City to execute agreements regarding
the termination of its bond insurance. .
Orrick, Herrington & SutclitIe LLP, Bond Counsel for the 2004 and 2006 IDBs, has advised that
Resolution 2004-093 confers legal authority upon the Director of Finance to approve proposed
amendments to the 2004 and 2006 Indentures and Loan Agreements and to execute and deliver

the proposed bond insurance termination and release agreement with Ambac Assurance
Corporation in respect of certain of the 2004 and 2006 IDBs. However, the Director of Finance
has requested guidance from the City Council before committing to exercise that existing
authority. The resolution that is recommended for approval would approve the Director of
Finance's exercise of existing authority to facilitate the above changes to the Indentures and
Loan Agreements and termination of the Policies issued by Ambac Assurance Corporation. The
City will receive an opinion of Bond Counsel regarding the due authorization,. execution and
delivery, and enforceability of the amendments and their compliance with the bond documents.
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
I 8704.2(a)(I) is not applicable to this decision and that section 18707 would be applicable to this
decision.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact to the General Fund as a result of the recommended action. Because
this is a remarketing effort, the City's usual issuance fee of 35 basis points is not applicable.
.
However, all reasonable City costs (staff time, legal fees) and indemnification against any other
costs incurred in connection with the proposed amendments will be paid by SDG&E.

Further Definitions Provided by Money-Zine.Com
Auction-Rate Sccurities are long-term, variable rate bonds, which are tied to short-term interest
rates. The interest rate on an auction-rate security is detennined via a Dutch auction and these
securities are typically sold in $25,000 denominations.
Dutch auction, also referred to as a descending price auction, determines the minimum interest
rate at which all bonds can be sold at par. This interest rate is referred to as the clearing rate, and
this rate of interest is paid on the entire issue up for bid during the upcoming period. The Dutch
auction itself takes place using a seven-step process:
I. Investors identify the par amount of securities they wish to purchase, and what they are
willing to pay for those securities.
2. Each dealer passes along these bids to an auction agent.
3.. The auction agent collects all of the bids from all the dealers participating in the auction.
4. The auction agent then sorts the bids in ascending rate order until a clearing rate is found.
5. Investors that bid a rate that was lower than or equal to the clearing rate are scheduled to
receive bonds.
6. The auction agent notifies each dealer of the auction results.
7. Dealers record and settle the bond trades on the next business day

Re: SDG&E IDB Proposed Bond Docnment Amendments
Dear Ms. Kachadoorian:
On March 11, 2008, Marilyn Burke, then the director of corporate [mance at Sempra
Energy, sent you a letter providing the City of Chula Vista with background on events in
the credit markets, resulting impacts to SDG&E's insured IDBs and SDG&E's
subsequent plans to remarket those securities. As you lmow, Marilyn now works for an
unregulated affiliate ofSempraEnergy. I'm sending you this update afthe March 11,
2008 letter to reflect what has occurred since you, Marilyn, and I met in May of this year.
History
In June 2004, SDG&E refunded over $250 million of its industrial development bonds
through the City ofChula Vista. Series A through E, totaling $176.265 million principal
amount, are insured by XL Capital Assurance. These non-A.1\i!T bonds were placed into a
weekly Dutch auction rate mode with an initial interest rate of 0.90%. The $75 million,
Series F bonds are insured by Ambac Assurance Corporation. These 2004F Bonds are
subject to A.1\i!T, and were placed into a 28-day Dutch auction rate mode with an initial
interest-rate.ll.LLD 5.%
In September 2006, SDG&E arranged for the refunding of two series of City of San
Diego IDBs that had been issued for the benefit ofSDG&E by the $161.24 million Chula
Vista 2006 Series A, insured by Ambac Assurance Corporation. These non-AMT bonds
were placed into a weekly Dutch auction rate mode with an initial interest rate of3.20%.
All of the Chula Vista 2004 Bonds and 2006 Bonds are secured by SDG&E's first
mortgage bonds. All were initially rated "AAA" by Moody's, S&P and Fitch due to the
insurance wraps.
9-6
Recent Market Events
The major bond insurers' difficulties coincide with the continuing sub-prime mortgage
market meltdown. There are mounting losses in the mortgages that back up securities
that XL Capital, Ambac and other firms have insured. As the magnitude of this exposure
became more apparent, the credit rating agencies grew increasingly concerned over
whether XL Capital, Ambac and other bond insurers would have adequate equity capital
to weather their expected future losses on their sub-prime portfolios. Accordingly, many
bond insurers have had their credit ratings downgraded from "AAA" status. The current
ratings of our bond insurers are:
S&P Moody's Fitch
Ambac AA. Aa3 Not rated effective
Negative outlook Negative outlook 6/26/08
XL Capital A- Baal A
Negative outlook Negative outlook Stable outlook
Auction Rate Market Impact
Typical auction rate note C"ARN") investors relied on "AAA" insured ratings, so the
downgrades of Ambac, XL Capital and other bond insurers have made ARNs
undesirable. Nationwide, auctions are clearing at significantly higher interest rates than
vatiable rate demand bonds because ARNs are viewed as being more risky and less
liquid. Accordingly, rates have spiked dramatically for various issuers; if an auction fails
due to insufficient bidders, the interest rate will be a predefined "maximum rate" for that
auction period. Although none of the auctions failed, in early 2008 interest rates on the
2004 Bonds and the 2006 Bonds were significantly higher than SDG&E would expect to
pay for other fonns of secured tax-exempt debt. As a result, SDG&E was incuning
above mat-ket interest expense on the 2004 Bonds and 2006 Bonds.
SDG&E Initial Response
Because of concerns over the higher interest costs SDG&E would incur if the 2004.
Bonds and 2006 Bonds remained in the Auction Rate mode, SDG&E gave formal notices
of conversions from Auction Rate mode to a vVeekly Rate mode. The conversions took
place in March 2008. SDG&E or Sempra Energy has purchased and now holds all the
2004 Bonds and 2006 Bonds until they can be remarketed at more favorable interest rates
to TlP:winvestors
Remarketing of the 2004 Bonds and 2006 Bonds Would Be Facilitated By
Amendmeuts
Potential remarketing agents for the 2004 Bonds and the 2006 Bonds indicate lower
interest rates can be achieved without bond insurance. The existing Indentures and Loan
Agreements for the 2004 Bonds and for the 2006 Bonds specifically envision that the
initial Bond Insurance may be terminated upon direction from SDG&E. XL Capital and
Ambac both now appear willing to cancel their respective Insurance Policies.
9-7
The Loan Agreements require SDG&E's First Mortgage Bonds to remain in place as long
as the 2004 Bonds or the 2006 Bonds remain outstanding. But there is no requirement in
the Indentures or the Loan Agreements that SDG&E arrange for a substitute Credit
Facility if the initial Bond Insurance Policy for any selies of 2004 Bonds or 2006 Bonds
is terminated.
SDG&E believes it would be possible to remarket the converted 2004 Bonds and 2006
Bonds without amendments to the Indentures and Loan Agreements. However, to align
the bond documents with the remarketed Bonds' uninsured status, it would be useful to
amend various other provisions of the Indentures and Loan Agreements in anticipation of
the termination of the XL Capital Policies and Ambac Policies (e.g., delete requirements
of Bond Insurer consents and exercise of remedies upon Default even after the Policies
have been terminated).
We propose amending and restating the Indentures and Loan Agreements to:
1. Clarify that Bond Insurance is just one permitted type of Credit Facility;
2. Clarify that a person who provides a Credit Facility with respect to fewer than
all the Bonds generally is to be treated as a Credit Provider only in respect ofthe
Bonds covered by that Credit Facility;
3. Clarify that any Credit Facility may be terminated at will by the Bon-ower
(consistent with the terms of that Credit Facility), other than as expressly
specified in the Indenture or the Loan Agreement;
4. Clarify that any person who once was a Credit Provider ceases to be treated as a
Credit Provider after its Credit Facility has been terminated;
5. Eliminate the requirement of a Credit Facility upon interest rate Adjustment
Dates;
6. Clmify that Liquidity Facility requirement is optional once an Initial Credit
Provider ceases to provide a Credit Facility; and
7. Clarify that Initial Credit Providers' project access and records examination
lights are limited to the periods their Credit Facilities are in effect.

amenable to these amendments, SDG&E will ask Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP,
Bond Counsel, to prepare the documents needed to implement these amendments.
Please note that if the existing Bond Insurance Policies are terminated with respect to the
2004 Bonds and 2006 Bonds, SDG&E will remarket all the Bonds to the public with new
CUSIP numbers and new offering circulars.
9-8
Request to the City of Chula Vista
In summary, SDG&E is requesting approval of proposed amendments to the 2004 and
2006 Indentures and Loan Agreements.
Section 10 of Resolution 2004-093 authOlizes the Director of Finance to amend
documents and substitute credit enhancement for the 2004 Bonds and for the 2006 Bonds
without further authorization of the City Council. SDG&E believes this original
delegation to City staff is broad enough to implement the proposed amendments without
additional fOlmal action by the City Council. However, SDG&E would be pleased to
work with City staff on a supplemental City Council resolution acknowledging or
approving the proposed amendments if City staff believes that would be desirable.
SDG&E will pay any reasonable City costs incuned in connection with the review and
approval of the proposed amendments. SDG&E also will indenmify the City for any
other cost incuned as a result of or in connection with the proposed amendments. We
will provide an opinion of Bond Counsel that the amendments are authorized by the
existing Indentures and the Loan Agreements and will not adversely affect the tax-
exempt status of the outstanding Bonds.
Another brief meeting with you to discuss the above request as well as to introduce
Sempra's new director of corporate finance, Mark Roberge, would be helpful in keeping
this project on course. I will contact you directly to make the necessary anangements.
Sincerely yours,

and that it is not necessary to obtain a Superior Court judgment in a validation
action.
SOG&E 'has requested that the City refund previously issued series of lOBs. This
Bond Resolution authorizes the issuance and sale of up to $686.4 million of lOBs to
refund lOBs previously issued by the City of Chula Vista and the City of San Diego to
. finance or refinance certain costs of gas and electric facilities for SOG&E.
The Chula Vista City Council has the ability to issue tax-exempt bonds for large
industrial/manufacturing projects. lOBs are tax-exempt bonds, which can raise funds
for manufacturing businesses or energy development projects.
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the resolution, which authorizes the issuance and sale
from time to time of up to $686.4 million refunding lOBs to refinance a iike principal
amount of outstanding lOBs.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not Applicable.
DISCUSSION:
The Resolution authorizes the issuance of up to $686,400,000 of refunding lOBs in
order to refund all or a portion of the outstanding lOBs issued by the City of Qhula
Vista and the City of San Diego for the benefit of SOG&E and its ratepayers in order to
generate interest savings. The lOBs will be sold at negotiated sales at such times as
SOG&E requests, which will depend on the interest rate market being favorable. The
Resolution would remain in effect for approximately 3 years.
Specifically, tonight's action:
" Finds that the refunding of the outstanding lOBs that financed or refinanced gas
and electric generation, transmission and distribution facilities throughout
SOG&E's service territory shall directly benefit the citizens of Chula Vista.
" Authorizes refunding lOBs to be issued in one or more series in an aggregate
principal amount not to exceed $686,400,000.

FindinQ of Local Public Benefit
Pursuant to the Chula Vista Municipal Code ("CVMC") Chapter 3.48 the City is
authorized to issue lOBs for basic utilities to reduce the cost of providing such service
9.,;,..~1~)
~ ,c;;t'\
Page 3, Item

:(
and thereby reduce the rates of industrial, commercial and residential utility customers
within the City~ CVMC Section 3.48.10.0 specifically provides as follows:
Encouraging industrial and commercial development and the
provision of basic utilities pursuant to this chapter (1) will promote
health, safety and welfare of the city, including those public interests
enumerated above, and will improve the social, moral, economic and
physical condition of the community thereby, and (2) constitutes a
municipal affair of the city, a valid exercise of the police powers of the
city, and a public purpose in which the city has a peculiar and unique
interest.
The lOBs to be issued to refund the lOBs originally issued to finance gas and electric
generation, transmission and distribution facilities throughout SOG&E's service
territory, including Chula Vista, shall directly benefit the citizens of the City by reducing
the costs of providing utility service, thereby reducing a cost component in the rates to
be paid by industrial, commercial and residential utility customers within the City. This
would include rates paid by the City itself for its energy needs. Interest rate reductions
are passed on to customers through periodic costs of capital proceedings conducted
by the California Public Utilities Commission. These proceedings ensure that a
reduction to SOG&E's average debt cost is translated dollar for dollar into reduction to
the Company's revenue requirements, which determine the rates charged to
customers.
A list of the types of facilities underlying the financing is attached to this report as
Exhibit A.
Summary of Bond Documents
The draft transaction documents are substantially the same as the transaction
documents used by the City as issuer for previous lOB issues of this type. Copies of
the transaction documents are attached to this report as Exhibit B.
The Indenture of Trust is between the City of Chula Vista and the Trustee (U.S. Bank)
and provides that the Trustee will keep records of the lOBs issued, administer the lOB

SOG&E, and make the required payments to bondholders.
The Official Statement is a disclosure document that provides potential buyers of the
lOBs the information regarding how the proceeds will be used, what the source of the
repayment will be, a legal opinion of tax exemption, and a description of the legal
documents supporting the financial structure.

The Bond Purchase Aqreement is between the City of Chula Vista, SOG&E and the
underwriting team. By this agreement the City agrees to sell, and the Underwriters
agree to purchase, all of the lOBs issued at an agreed upon price and yield.
The Loan Aqreement is between the City of Chula Vista and SOG&E. It provides that
the City will loan the proceeds of the lOBs to SOG&E to repay the loans with respect
to the lOBs previously issued by the City of Chula Vista and the City of San Diego and
that the loan repayment amounts by SOG&E will be sufficient to pay the principal and
interest on the new lOBs issued. The Loan Agreement also establishes the City's
compensation as the issuer, and includes SOG&E's agreement to indemnify the City
against most risks arising from its role as issuer of the lOBs.
Bond Counsel and Special Counsel
The firmof Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe, LLP is bond counsel for the City as issuer in
connection with the issuance of the new lOBs. The bond counsel was selected based
on a longstanding involvement in SOG&E's prior lOB issuances. The firm of Jones
Hall was selected as special counsel to review transaction documents and to prepare
the City's required legal opinion. Jones Hall was selected to represent the City of
Chula Vista's interests based on its participation in previous lOBs issued and/or
refunded by the City of Chula Vista. SOG&E pays for all counsel, financial advisors
and bond issuing costs directly. Except for special legal counsel representing City
interests, SOG&E selects and recommends for Chula Vista approval all outside firms
that make up the financing team.
Bond Counsel has advised the City and SOG&E that (a) Chula Vista's involvement
with respect to each issue or refinancing is permissible under applicable laws, (b) a
Superior Court validation judgment confirmed the City's authority to issue lOBs for this
purpose, and (c) no additional Superior Court validation is required for the proposed
refinancings.
leqal and Financial Risks
In General
The City will not be obligated to gay the principal or interesLQ~ELillBs~or tn
discharge any other financial liability in connection with the proposed refundings,
except from and to the extent of revenues received from SOG&E or from any third-
party credit enhancer (for example, any bond insurer). This lOB issuance does not
directly impact the City's bonding capacity because there is no governmental
commitment to pay debt service on the lOBs in the event loan payments are not timely
made by SOG&E. In case of default, the City's credit rating should not be affected.
The lOBs are treated by the investors as conduit financing of the City, and payable
from the limited revenues received under the Loan Agreement. This is similar to the

issuance of Special Tax Bonds, where investors look only to the Special Tax
Revenues in a Community Facilities District to pay the bonds and not to the City to
make up shortfalls.
Specific Risks and Responsibilities of the City of Chula Vista as Conduit Issuer
of the Bonds
1. The lOBs are Limited Obliqations. . The lOBs are limited obligations of the City
payable from reveriues of the City received pursuant to the Loan Agreement.
The City ultimately is responsible for collection of SOG&E payments under the
Loan Agreement and remittance of these payments to bondholders. This
obligation is mitigated by the fact that the Bond Trustee will agree to perform
these functions on behalf of the City.
2. Tax Compliance Functions. The City and SOG&E each covenant to comply
with various sections of the Internal Revenue Code in connection with the lOBs,
regarding rebate payments. The City and SOG&E agree to undertake
compliance with certain provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and Treasury
Regulations with respect to the lOBs. This may include keeping detailed
records with regard to certain types of investments, performing rebate analyses
as necessary, making determinations with regard to investment contracts, and
filing or causing to be filed certain reports with the IRS. As necessary the City
can hire special counsel to assist with these functions and receive
reimbursement for the costs from SOG&E.
3. Representations and Warranties. In connection with its tax covenants, the City
makes various representations regarding the legal validity of its existence, its
authority to. issue the lOBs, restrictions on the use of lOB proceeds and
replacement proceeds, as well as representing that the lOBs will not be used
as an abusive arbitrage device. Most of the risks created by these statements
and mitigated by reliance on opinions of bond counsel and SOG&E indemnities.
Further, because the proposed lOBs will be refunding bonds (as opposed to
"new money" bonds), the obligation to track the use of proceeds and arbitrage
are not significant risk factors. This is because tax-exempt refunding bond
proceeds must be used within 90 days for the sole purpose of refunding
outstanding lOBs.

and various other documents associated with the lOBs generally require the
City's approval. In addition, in consultation with SOG&E, the City may
determine whether the lOBs are to be held in book-entry or certificated form,
and may execute new and/or replacement bond certificates upon registration,
transfer, mutilation, destruction, theft or loss of the original lOB bond
certificates. Again, the City can hire special counselor other consultants to
assist with these functions and receive reimbursement for the costs from
SOG&E.

5. Litiqation Risk. If there is litigation in connection with the lOBs, or if the IRS
should audit the tax-exempt status of the lOBs, the City could incur legal and
other consultant expenses. Although the City is indemnified by the SOG&E for
such expenses, such indemnification provisions are subject to interpretation by
a court. Further, indemnification by SOG&E may not be financially feasible if
SOG&E at that time is insolvent. With respect to lOBs the City has already
issued or refunded for SOG&E, this risk already exists. Reducing the cost of
this debt through the refunding process somewhat reduces the risk of a
SOG&E default.
6. Reputation Risk. By attaching its name to the marketing and issuance of the
lOBs, the City implicitly warrants throughout the period that the lOBs are
outstanding that the lOBs have been validly issued and that interest on the
lOBs is tax-exempt. The City may suffer adverse reputational consequences
should this not be true, or if the SOG&E should default on its obligations in
connection with the lOBs. On the other hand, based on discussions with a
trusted financial advisor, given the limited obligation nature of the lOBs, a
default is not likely to have a material impact on the 'City's ability to issue
traditional debt.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Given current market conditions and SOG&E's debt portfolio, SOG&E believes that it
can refinance approximately $194 million of its outstanding lOBs in 2004. This would
result in:
Annualized customer rate reductions across SOG&E's
Service territory, including the City of Chula Vista
$4.5 million
Annualized City of Chula Vista customer rate reductions
(about 4.9% of total)
$ 221,860
City of Chula Vista revenues: up-front issuance fees
(0.25% of principal)
$ 485,000
The above assumes current tax-exempt bo.n.rLmarkeLc.onditioo8-remaio_io..-efIect
SOG&E's decision to refinance, as well as the savings realized, will ultimately be
determined by market conditions at the time of the transactions.
SOG&E will reimburse the City for any staff costs and administrative expenses
associated with this process whether or not Chula Vista ultimately issues the Bonds.
SOG&E also pays all legal counsel, financial advisors and bond issuing costs directly,
including counsel representing City of Chula Vista interests. Per the 25 basis points
set by Council, if the entire $686.4 million of lOBs are issued, the fee paid to the City

would be $1,716,000. Within the next 90 days, it is anticipated that SDG&E will refund
approximately $194 million in lOBs, which will generate $485,000 in issuance fees for
the City. This revenue would be deposited into the City's General Fund. Thereafter,
additional lOB issues are likely, but not guaranteed, and will occur at the discretion of
SDG&E.
