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)(4) 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 .

Not Applicable.
DISCUSSION
In September 2006, Council approved the SDG&E Energy Efficiency Partnership
agreement that provided $2,193,225 ($731,075 per calendar year) to the City's energy
conservation efforts. Specifically, the funds are used to reduce the amount of kilowatt-
hours (electricity) and therms (gas) consumed by the Chula Vista community, especially
sectors which historically have not fully participated or are not eligible for existing
energy incentive programs. Targeted sectors include low income residents, small
businesses, contractors, permit applicants and developers. The Partnership also provides
funding to identify and administer energy efficiency retrofit projects at municipal
facilities. As a result, Chula Vista is implementing programs to reduce annual
community energy use by 3.8 million kWh and 100,000 therms and municipal building
energy use by 1,300,000 kWh and 50,000 therms. In addition to lowering monthly utility
costs, these energy savings will also contribute to reducing Chula Vista's greenhouse gas
emissions or "carbon footprint."
The budget amendment request will transfer $19,153 within the 2009 Energy Conservation
Fund from the "Supplies & Services" budget category to the "Other Expenses" category to
provide additional funding for the Sustainable Communities Outreach Program. The
Sustainable Communities Outreach Program, which is administered by the Planning and
Building Department, works to educate permit applicants, contractors and developers on
energy efficiency opportunities and has developed new ordinances to promote renewable
energy and green building design principles in new construction. The transferred funds will
allow the City to continue this program through December 2008. The total funding for the
Sustainable Communities Outreach Program for the last three year period is $209,153.
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 IMP ACT
The fund transfer of $19,153 from the "Supplies & Services" budget category to the
"Other Expenses" category within the 2009 Energy Conservation Fund will result in a no
net impact to the General Fund. As mentioned earlier, these funds will be utilized to
continue developing and implementing energy efficiency programs through the end of the
calendar year.

DISCUSSION
In Fiscal Year 2006/2007, Oakwood Development, Inc. paid permit fees on their Village 7
Monte Sereno Phase 3B Project. Permit fees are paid prior to issuance of the final building
permit and prior to the construction ofthe project.
On September 25, 2008 staff received, from Oakwood Development, Inc., a written request
(Attachment 1) for a refund of permit fees for the aforementioned project. Construction on the
project has not begun, and Oakwood Development, Inc. is anticipating that production will not

begin until Fall 2009. Until then it has been requested that the City refund the following permit
fees:
. NPDES Fee ($1,120)
. Otay Ranch Res ($182.63)
. Traffic Signal Fee ($1,939)
. Public Facilities DIF ($14,175)
.
Sewer Capacity Fee ($24,346)
Poggi Cyn DIF ($2,800)
.
Oakwood Development, Inc. understands and is aware that they must pay all current applicable
permit fees (including applicable fee increases) at the time the permits are reapplied for its
Village 7 Monte Serano Phase 3B project.
This resolution will amend the proper Fiscal Year 2008/2009 fund budgets and appropriate a
total of $44,380 from the available fund balances to process the refund to Oakwood
Development, Inc. for certain permit fees associated with their Village 7 Monte Sereno Phase 3B
project. The Otay Ranch Res Fee of $182.63 does not require a budget appropriation, as said
funds are within a refundable deposit account. The appropriations that are needed are to the
following fund balances:
Account # Account Description Amount
30120 NPDES Fee $1,120.00
22500 Traffic Signal Fee $1,939.00
41300 Sewer Capacity Fee $24,346.00

57600 DIP Fire Sunnression $2,128.66
58200 DIP Recreation $1,838.03
43200 DIP POlllli Canyon $2,800.00
Total $44,380.00
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
The refund of these permit fees will have no impact to the General Fund as this is a
reimbursement and sufficient monies are available in the associated fund balances with the
exception of those related to the Public Facilities DIF (Account #57200 thru 58200). The
reimbursement will add to the existing deficit within the PFDIF fund. This $14,175 deficit will
be addressed along with the ongoing shortfalls in the PIFDIF accounts through an anticipated
temporary loan/transfer from the TD IF. n

SUMMARY
The City has received a $135,630 Bicycle Transportation Account (BTA) grant from the
California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) for Fiscal Year 2008/2009. The BTA grant
provides for Citywide bicycle amenities such as replacement of bus-mounted bike racks,
roadway signage for bicycle facilities and traffic signal video detection units in order to
encourage alternative modes of transportation. Sufficient funds are available to meet the grant's
local match reimbursement of 10% ($15,070).
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 1 categorical exemption pursuant to Section 153301 (c) (Existing Facilities) of the
State CEQA Guidelines because the improvements will be installed on streets and bicycle trail
facilities. Thus, no further environmental review is necessary.

DISCUSSION
Staff submitted an application for "Bicycle Amenities for Commuters" for the California
Department of Transportation (Caltrans) competitive Bicycle Transportation Account (BTA)
grant program for Fiscal Year 2008/2009 in December 2007. Council approved the City's grant
application on December 4,2007 by Resolution 2007-271 (Attachment 1). This grant provides
funds for a three-part bicycle facilities improvement grant that would provide for 40 bus-
mounted bike racks, additional signage at 64 locations along city bike lanes and bike routes, and
upgrading the existing traffic signal detection system at six signalized intersections from
inductive pavement loops to a video system already used in other locations citywide. Video
detection has the advantage of being able to sense both bicycles and vehicles, where loop
detection systems do not register bicycles.
Specific locations for the bicycle lane/route signage and the video location equipment are shown
in Attachment 1. In general, new signage will be installed along portions of Main Street,
Industrial Blvd., Bay Blvd., Orange Avenue, Telegraph Canyon Road, East H Street and Gotham
Street. Video detection equipment will be installed at the following intersections:
. Bay Blvd.! E Street! 1-5 SB off ramp
. Bay Blvd.! H Street
. Bonita Road! Otay Lakes Road
. Bonita Road! Willow Street
. Heritage Road! Paseo Ranchero/ Telegraph Canyon Road
. La Media Road! Otay Lakes Road! Telegraph Canyon Road
The City estimated the cost for these three components at $150,700. The costs were divided up
as follows:

Staff recently received a letter dated October 16, 2008 from the Caltrans Local Assistance
Program stating that the City of Chula Vista has been awarded a grant of $135,630 for the
Bicycle Amenities for Commuters project (Attachment 2). A ten percent local match of $15,070
is required. As shown on the approved projects list, the City has received one of only 19 grants
awarded in Fiscal Year 2008/2009, and is the only City in San Diego County to have received a
grant. Staff has set up the new Capital Improvement Program (CIP) project TF369, Three Part
Bicycle Facilities Improvement.

Staff subsequently received a second letter from Caltrans dated October 20, 2008, enclosing the
Local Agency - State Agreement for Bicycle Transportation Account Project (Attachment 3).
This agreement must be executed by the City and returned to Caltrans within 90 days of receipt.
Provisions include right of way acquisition, engineering, facility maintenance, funding and
reporting. These provisions include the stipulation that the City complete the proj ect and submit
the final invoice by April 1, 2011. Staff feels that there will be no problem in complying with
the provisions of this agreement.
DECISION MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council and has found conflicts exist, in that
Councilmembers McCann and Ramirez have property holdings within 500 feet of the boundaries
of the properties which are the subject of this action. (please refer to tables in Attachment 2,
which indicate that Councilmembers McCann and Ramirez each have a conflict on locations for
the installation of signage and Councilmember McCann has a conflict on one location for
installing video detection equipment).
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no impact to the General Fund from this action. The estimated total proj ect cost of
$150,700 will be met, in part, with $135,630 in Bicycle Transportation Account (BTA) Grant
funds. The remaining required 10% match will be met with funds totaling $15,070 from three
available sources: the Traffic Signal Fee Fund ($11,000), Transportation Development Act
(TDA) funds ($2,750), and Transnet funds ($1,320). The Transnet funds will be transferred from
TF332, Signing and Striping Program. There are sufficient funds available from all these
sources. This action will appropriate the grant and matching funds into CIP project TF369 for
Fiscal Year 2008/2009.

DISCUSSION
The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) has announced available grant funding
for FY2008-09 projects through its competitive Bicycle Transportation Account (BTA) grant
program. The intent of the program is to improve safety and convenience for bicycle commuters
in the region. The BTA grant program is available to local agencies with recently updated
Bicycle Transportation Plans, less than five-years old. The City of Chula Vista's Bikeway
Master Plan was adopted by Council in January 2005 and thus complies with the grant
requirements. A total of $7.2 million is available statewide with a maximum award for a single
project not to exceed $1.8 million. The grant application deadline is December 3, 2007.
Notification of grant award is expected within the July to October 2008 timeframe. Projects
must then be completed within two fiscal years after the award date. The Engineering & General
Services Department and the Public Works Operations Department would like to submit a grant
application in the amount of $135,630 for a three-component citywide bicycle facilities project.
If the grant is awarded, the proposed projects would be added into the City's Capital
Improvement Program as early as FY200S/09 or as late as FY2010/11.
The City of Chula Vista's grant application is for a three-part bicycle facilities improvement
grant that would provide for bus-mounted bike racks, additional signage along city bike lanes
and bike routes, and upgrading the existing traffic signal detection system from inductive
pavement loops to a video system already used in other locations citywide. Video detection has
the advantage of being able to sense both bicycles and vehicles, where loop detection systems do
not register bicycles.
The project will encourage alternative modes of transportation to activity centers citywide (See
Attachment I) and make the trip as convenient as possible for bicyclists throughout the City.
With that in mind, a bicycle trip origin starts at the residence and the bicyclist would use the bike
routes, bike lanes or bike paths as identified in the City's Bikeway Master Plan (See Attachment
2).
Bike lanes typically go through signalized intersections. Unfortunately, new bicycle technology
is making detection of the bicycle more difficult at intersections that are still equipped with the
inductive loop system. This is because bicycles and their components are now being made with
lighter-weight metallic materials such as aluminum and steel and other non-metallic materials
such as carbon fiber. By retrofitting video detection systems into the traffic signal mast arms,
one video camera will replace all of the inductive loops on one approach located near the limit
line of the intersection thereby providing an overall upgrade to the intersection. Tberefore, if a
bicyclist is in the curb lane or a through lane or even a left-turn lane, the video camera will
recognize that there is a "vehicle" that needs a green signal indication and the delay to the
bicyclists is minimized.
The bicyclist may then continue to a bus stop to board a bus equipped with bike racks to allow
longer trips to be made by Chula Vista Transit buses. As the final destination approaches, the
bicyclist would off-load from the bus and ride the remaining part of the trip, again using the
City's bike lanes and bike routes.

Part I - Additional Bike Lane and Bike Route signage at various locations citywide.
The first part of the project would provide signage at the locations listed below to work towards
completing the citywide bicycle facilities and would, in fact, fulfill the needs of all but one of the
Class 3 facilities included in the Bicycle Master Plan. In some instances, a bike route will be
provided as an interim measure until a roadway is sufficiently widened to provide a bike lane.
A bike route is considered a Class 3 bicycle facility where bicyclists share the roadway travel
lane with motorists (See Attachment #3). Bike routes will only have directional signage.
Bike lanes are considered Class 2 facilities and are delineated lanes provided solely for the use
of bicyclists along the edge of the roadway. Where the roadway is sufficiently Wide, it could
also be adjacent to a parking lane.
A bike path is a Class I facility; typically a bicycle pathway or trail that is completely separated
from vehicular traffic. One local example is the Bayshore Bikeway bike path north of E Street
and Bay Blvd.
The locations for additional signage are listed in the following table and are also described in the
Bikeway Master Plan facilities list as shown in Attachment 4:

Part IIl- Bus-mounted bike racks for Chula Vista Transit citywide.
The third project component would provide new, or replace existing bus-mounted bike racks on
all Chula Vista Transit buses. Bike rack specifications have changed over the years and the
region is now using a bike rack that is more durable and if repairs are needed, spare parts are
available. The current bike rack system does not have interchangeable parts and when damaged
must be entire! y replaced. The proposed bike rack utilizes the similar mounting hardware as the
existing bike racks so installation can be oodertaken quickly. The grant proposal is for 40 racks
plus installation totaling $27,500. The bike racks will be installed by Chula Vista Transit staff
(see Attachment 4).

ENVIRO!'oMENTAL 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)(4) of the State
CEQA Guidelines because it does not involve a physical change to 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.

DISCUSSION
As part of the City's Budget Reduction Plan approved by City Council on December 4,
2007, funding for operations at the various City recreation centers was significantly reduced,
thereby severely impacting the Recreation Department's ability to offer free or low-cost
recreational programming. Funding was solicited and received from AT&T, Otay Land
Company LLC and Pacific Trust Bank specifically for teen programming at Lorna Verde
Recreation Center and from WAL-MART Foundation for the Halloween Haunted House
and general programming at Otay Recreation Center. The $1,900 in donations for teen
programming at Lorna Verde Recreation Center will cover both personnel and supplies and
services for several teen dances and dodge ball nights and the $2,000 in donations for Otay
Recreation Center will cover supplies and services related to the Halloween Haunted House
and general recreation programming.
DECISION MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council Members and has found no
such holdings within 500' of the properties which are the subject of this action.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no net impact to the General Fund. The $3,900 in donated funds needs to be
appropriated to the Recreation Department budget to offset the cost of personnel and
supplies and services associated with the programs.

DISCUSSION
The new sports camps for ages 8-14 being proposed for Salt Creek Recreation Center will
take place during CVESD and SUHSD spring and summer intersession breaks in March,
April, June and July of 2009. Camps will run in the morning and/or afternoons and will
include basketball, volleyball, indoor soccer and others as interest demands. The
counselor to participant ratio will be maintained at 1: 1 0, with a Recreation Specialist in
charge of each camp. Training for camp staff, including the Recreation Specialists,
Leaders and Aides, will precede each camp. The counselor to participant ratio allows the
Department to adjust staffing to enrollment levels and ensures that offset of all direct
costs through registration fees is maintained for FY '09 by reducing personnel and
supplies and services expenditures accordingly if enrollments fall short of projected
levels. Revenue and expenditure figures provided are based on the conservative estimate
of 40 participants per session. Previous camps offered at Salt Creek have averaged 60
participants.
DECISION MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council Members and has found no
such holdings within 500' of the properties which are the subject of this action.
FISCAL IMPACT
Participant registration fees 'will completely offset the total direct costs of the Sports
Camp Program during FY 2008/2009 and FY 2009/2010 combined. For FY 2008/2009,
$19,293 will be appropriated from available fund balance in the General Fund to the
Recreation Department budget for the Sports Camps Program and $36,000 in
unanticipated revenue derived from registration fees charged to participants in the Sports
Camps Program will be budgeted. The disparity in net impact to the General Fund for
the two fiscal years is due to the fact that the majority of registration revenue for the
camps occurring during July ofFY '10 will actually be received and credited during June
of FY '09, while the majority of expenditures, particularly for personnel, for these same
camps will be incurred during July ofFY '10.

SUMMARY
The Chula Vista Redevelopment Agency (RDA) has been selected by US EP A to receive $400,000
in grant funds to inventory, characterize, assess, and plan for the cleanup and redevelopment of
contaminated properties known as "brownfields" sites in Southwest Chula Vista. Grant funds will
facilitate the creation and marketing of a brownfie1ds program and will provide free brownfields
services to property and business owners in the area. Brownfields services will assist owners in
addressing environmental roadblocks that may be hindering business growth and expansion or
improved uses of their properties.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The recommended RDA actions are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act
("CEQA") pursuant to Section 15061 (b )(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines.
RECOMMENDATION
Agency adopt the resolutions.
BOARDS/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
On June 12, 2008, Redevelopment & Housing staff made an informational presentation to the
Chula Vista Redevelopment Corporation (CVRC) about the RDA's notice of selection for the
EPA grant. On November 13, 2008, the CVRC received an informational memo updating the
Board on the status of the grant work plan.
DISCUSSION
EP A Brownfields Grant
One of the major programs that a redevelopment agency can undertake is the assessment,
cleanup, and redevelopment of contaminated sites known as "brownfields" properties.
Successful brownfields programs, however, require a significant investment of upfront resources,
including both time and money. To secure "seed money" for creating a brownfields program in
Chul. Vista, Redevelopment & Housing staff prepared and submitted. propos.llast year to US
EP A to receive federal grant dollars. In 2008, US EP A ,awarded a total of $74 million in grant
funding to 1,255 nationally competitive recipients located in 43 states across the country. The
Chul. Vista Redevelopment Agency was one of those recipients and was selected by US EPA to
receive two Community-wide Brownfields Assessment grants.
During a three-year period, the grants will provide $200,000 to assess properties for hazardous
substances and another $200,000 to assess properties for petroleum contaminants. The $400,000
in combined funds will facilitate the creation and marketing of . brownfields program in
Southwest Chula Vista and will provide free brownfields services to property and business
owners in the area. Brownfields services will assist owners in addressing environmental
roadblocks that may be hindering business growth and expansion or improved uses of their
properties. The study area for the grant is the entire seven-square mile area of Southwest Chula
. Vista, consistent with the General Plan's Southwest Planning Area boundaries and the
geographic focus of the City's community building efforts in the Southwest (Southwest United
in Action).
Successful implementation of the EP A grant will provide much-needed assistance and relief to
property owners and small businesses in Southwest Chula Vista and lead to greater funding
opportunities in the future, including other federal and state grants. Future funding and
November 25, 2008 Item 'f.z,

Seeding a Local Program
EP A Community-wide Assessment Grants provide funding for the following activities:
. Property, business owner, and community outreach and involvement.
. Development of an area-wide inventory (e.g., GIS database) ofbrownfields properties in the
study area.
. Phase I Environmental Site Assessments of candidate brownfields properties.
. Phase II Environmental Site Assessments of candidate brownfields properties.
. Remediation and reuse planning of candidate brownfields properties.
. Compliance with EP A grant requirements.
The EP A's intent for these grants is for local communities to use the funds to "seed" local
brownfields programs that can be sustained into the future. Likewise, it is staff s intent to use the
RDA's EPA grant funds to create a sustainable program that can provide ongoing fmancial and
environmental benefits to propertylbusiness owners and the general community. Since EP A
Assessment Grants can only be used to study brownfields properties and cannot be used to
physically clean up sites, strategic implementation of the grants is necessary to help local
communities identify and secure additional funding for remediation activities. Staff is therefore
proposing to collaboratively work with an experienced environmental consultiog team to develop a
comprehensive strategic approach to the assessment grant that will ultimately provide the greatest
level of assistance to property and business owners.
Environmental Site Assessments
A preliminary work plan for the grant was submitted to EP A in June and is attached to this report as
Attachment 2. The work plan proposes to conduct Phase I assessments for approximately 24-30
properties in the area. A Phase I involves historical research of past land uses on a site and
interviews with owners/personnel to determine the likelihood that the site is a brownfields property.
The work plan then proposes to conduct Phase II assessments for up to 10 properties, based on the
Phase I fmdings and other criteria. A Phase II involves the collection and testing of physical
material (e.g., soil, groundwater) from a site to determine the extent of contamination. No specific
sites have been identified for assessment under the grant.
SCS Engineers
To help the RDA carry out these extremely technical tasks, staff initiated an intensive, two-month
long RFQ/P process in July for an environmental consulting firm to assist the RDA in the
implementation of the first stage of the grant.

Staff reviewed proposals from 11 reputable firms and held interviews with six. A three-member
interview panel was convened consisting of two Redevelopment & Housing staff and a
community relations expert from the County of San Diego's Health & Human Services Agency.
SCS Engineers was selected by the panel as the top firm for recommendation to the RDA. The
team at SCS Engineers possesses in-depth experience, skills, and other qualifications that are
unique to EP A grants and the strategic challenges of creating a new brownfields program from
the ground-up.
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)(!) is not applicable to this decision.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no net impact to either the Redevelopment Agency Fund or City General Fund. A
match of City/RDA funds is not required. Over three years, the grant will provide $400,000 in
revenues to pay for contractual services, supplies (e.g., flyers, FAQs), and travel for training and
conferences. Funds will be drawn down on a reimbursement basis. For Fiscal Year 2009,
$175,000 of the total $400,000 are proposed to be appropriated to the Redevelopment Agency
budget for the first stage of grant implementation through June 30, 2009. Grant activities for
Fiscal Year 20 I 0 and 20 II will be appropriated through the regular budget process.

provide financial and informational resources to decision-makers, staff, property/business owners,
and the public about how to address environmental hazards and obstacles to urban revitalization. In
an effort to "seed" a brownfields program in the City and lay the foundation for revitalization
activities in Southwest Chula Vista, the Redevelopment Agency submitted a proposal to EP A for
two Co=unity-wide Brownfields Assessment Grants. One proposal was submitted for hazardous
substances assessments, and the other was submitted for petroleum assessments. In May 2008, the
EP A notified the Agency that it was selected to receive both grants, each for $200,000, totaling
$400,000 of grant funds to assist the Agency in creating a brownfields grant program for Southwest
Chula Vista.
The Agency's goal for the grant program is to create a voluntary brownfields program in Southwest
Chula Vista that provides cooperative funding for the Agency to partner with property and business
owners to address enviro=entalliabilities impairing the productive use or reuse of their properties

Brownfields Assessment Grants
2009-2011 Hazardous Substances & Petroleum Work Plan
A. Recipient Title
Redevelopment Agency of the City of Chula Vista
B. Backuound
The target community is the Southwest portion of Chula Vista, California, a city of over 223,000
residents that is located twelve miles south of Downtown San Diego, and five miles north of the
international border with Mexico. Much of Southwest Chula Vista, including many parts located
in the City's Southwest Redevelopment Project Area, was historically unincorporated until it
was annexed to the City in 1985. While unincorporated, development patterns fluctuated in
piecemeal fashion and resulted in incompatible land use mixes that pose health risks to the
community due to the close proximity of residential neighborhoods, parks, and schools to
industrial properties, many of which are assumed to be brownfields sites. Existing data indicates
that Southwest Chula Vista is impacted by more than 300 facilities that use/generate hazardous
substances/wastes and petroleum products, approximately 39 facilities that are reported to have
leaking underground storage tanks releases, and numerous emergency response instances where
a hazardous substance was spilled. Southwest Chula Vista's historic character, ethnic diversity,
strong residential communities, and increasing private investment, however, give it potential to
grow into a more vibrant, safe, healthy, and sustainable community.
The assessment grants will benefit the target community by:
Increasing community awareness and education about the risk that brownfields pose to
public health and safety.
Increasing attention on incompatible land uses and resulting health risks.
Attracting new businesses and investment and creating jobs to address unemployment.
Focusing attention on the highest-polluting and highest-risk sites, to have the greatest
impact on public health indicators such as asthma.
Preserving the Otay River Valley, which is a sensitive habitat area, and is the largest
open space resource available for residents of Southwest Chula Vista and the region.
Stimulating increased tax increment revenues from new development in the Southwest
Redevelopment Project Area, which can be used to fund critical infrastructure
improvements in the area and improve walkability.
Increasing redevelopment activities and resulting tax increment revenues, which will
increase funds available for affordable housing to assist low-income families and address
displacement issues.
Facilitating improvements to walkability to help reduce rates of childhood obesity and
diabetes.
Improving water and air quality in the community.
Chula Vista Assessment Grants Work Plan: Hazardous Substances & Petroleum

This work plan proposes a community-oriented approach to identifying, prioritizing, and
selecting sites in Southwest Chula Vista for conducting Phase I and Phase II environmental site
assessments (ESAs), and developing preliminary feasibility studies and remedial action plans for
high priority sites. Agency staff will seek to forge partnerships with public health organizations
and advocates to engage residents, property owners, and businesses, and collaboratively identify
criteria for site selection. The Agency will also cooperatively work with stakeholders to create
strategies and tools for public awareness and education about the connection between
brownfields and public health, and the benefits of brownfields cleanup and redevelopment.

a. Task Description
An area-wide inventory will be created consisting of existing and potential brownfield sites in
Southwest Chula Vista. The inventory will document property data, business activities,
petroleum use, past releases of petroleum (LUSTs), and funding eligibility. The area-wide
inventory will provide a foundation for site selection of priority sites through the Community
Outreach & Involvement Strategy. The inventory will also be integrated into the City's existing
GIS database so that City personnel and property owners can use the inventory in land use
planning, issuing permits, assessing threats to public health, prioritizing redevelopment efforts,
and tracking any conditions, controls, or restrictions on a property due to envirorunental
conditions. Property Profile Forms will be completed for EPA review.

a. Task Description
A comprehensive Community Outreach & Involvement Strategy will be developed to engage as
many stakeholder segments of the community as possible, and to ensure that information from
the brownfields inventory, assessments, and cleanuplredevelopment plans are appropriately
communicated to residents, property owners, businesses, and other impacted and interested
stakeholders. A major advantage in Southwest Chula Vista is the newly created (2008)
"Southwest United in Action" community strengthening program, which shares the same
geographic focus as the Brownfields Grant. The purpose of Southwest United in Action is to
build leadership and capacity in the community for the purpose of leveraging resources to
address community needs and issues. Community-based focus groups will be formed to address
specific action areas, including health and safety. These focus groups will be the primary
vehicles of communication for the Redevelopment Agency to outreach to and collaborate with
the Southwest community on the grant and public health concerns. Additional efforts will also
be made to specifically engage property owners and businesses. Together, Southwest United in
Action and property/business owners will be asked to help the Redevelopment Agency and its
consultant(s) establish criteria and prioritize sites for assessment under the grants. English-
Spanish translation of materials and interpretation services at meetings will be provided
whenever possible.
During the pre-award period, the Redevelopment Agency is engaging discussions with public
health officials and advocates to seek partnerships in community outreach efforts on brownfields
and the grants. The Redevelopment Agency will also be coordinating with City conservation-
and environmental-oriented Departments to brand and market the grants program. These
Departments and several non-governmental conservation organizations have already
collaboratively created and launched the "Clean Campaign," the tag line of which is: "Your
Community. Your Environment. Your Choice." Brownfields and the assessment grants are
aligned with the goals of existing programs under the Clean Campaign (e.g., water quality, storm
water runoff, habitat conservation). A brownfields web page will be created under the Clean
Campaign banner and web site: http://www.chulavistaca.2:ov/cleanlDefault.asp. The Clean
Campaign's stakeholder working group will also be used as one of possibly several technical
advisory bodies for the assessment grants.

Task 4 - Site Selection, Site Approval, and Phase I ESAs
a. Task Description
The Community Outreach & Involvement Strategy will outline the process for site selection.
Based on data from the area-wide inventory, the Redevelopment Agency will work with
stakeholders to collaboratively establish criteria for and select 12 to 15 sites per grant for Phase 1
ESAs. 12 to 15 Phase I ESAs will be conducted under the Hazardous Substances Assessment
Grant. 12 to 15 Phase 1 ESAs will also be conducted under the Petroleum Assessment Grant.
Examples of criteria for the selection of priority sites include properly owner goals and interests,
proximity and potential level of threat to sensitive receptors or areas (e.g., schools,
parks/playgrounds, senior facilities, sensitive habitat areas), and potential public benefits of
remediation and redevelopment. All Phase I ESAs will be conducted by a Qualified
Environmental Professional in accordante with the EPA's All Appropriate Inquiries (AAI) Final
Rule. Phase 1 ESAs will include historical records searches to determine ownerships of sites,
previous usage of sites, possible sources of contamination, site visits, interviews, and, in some
case, limited sampling. If no significant concerns are identified, Phase II ESAs for some sites
may not be necessary.

SUMMARY
On October 15, 2008, the Director of Engineering received three sealed bids for the "Sewer
Rehabilitation Program - Phase 2, Fiscal Year 2005/2006 to Fiscal Year 2007/2008 various
locations in the City of Chula Vista (SW250B)" project. The project will replace existing broken
sewer mains and laterals, repair cracked sewer lines, and replace asphalt concrete pavement in
various locations throughout the City.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Environmental Review Coordinator has reviewed the proposed project for compliance with
the California Environmental Quality Act and has determined that the project qualifies for a
Class I categorical exemption pursuant to Section 15301 (Existing Facilities) of the State CEQA
7-1

Guidelines because the project involves repairing and replacing where necessary, existing sewer
facilities. Thus, no further environmental review is necessary.
RECOMMENDATION
Council conduct the public hearing and adopt the resolutions.
BOARDS/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
Not applicable.
DISCUSSION
On April 15, 2008, City Council awarded the Sewer Rehabilitation Program - Phase I (SW240A)
project (Resolution 2008-096) to KTA Construction, Inc. Due to staffing constraints, the annual
rehabilitation project was broken into two phases for ease of management. Currently, the Sewer
Rehabilitation Program-Phase I is nearing the completion of its contract. For Phase I, eighty-
five percent (85%) of the repairs were located within the west side of Chula Vista and the
remaining fifteen (15%) percent were located in the east side ofI-805 Freeway.
With Phase I nearing completion, staff prepared documents for the construction of Phase 2.
Locations for Phase 2 are based on the results of compiled data inspections, including those
performed with a closed circuit television camera. From these data inspections, a list of sewer
mains in need of the rehabilitation was recommended. Certain sections of pipe are cracked and
need to be replaced, repaired or relined to prevent groundwater infiltration or leaching of raw
sewage into the ground. Also, a number of the sewer access manholes were identified by the
Public Works Department as requiring replacement. The general scope of the project involves
the replacement of existing broken sewer mains and laterals, the installation of pipe lining to
repair cracked sewer lines, the replacement of sewer access holes, trenching, and asphalt
concrete pavement.
This annual project will include all labor, material, equipment, tools, transportation,
mobilization, control of sewage flows, traffic control, removal and disposal of existing
improvements, protection and restoration of existing improvements, and other miscellaneous
work necessary for the project. The locations and types of work to be done for Phase 2 of the
annual Sewer Rehabilitation program are detailed in Tables A through C (Attachment I).
The method used for the rehabilitation of the City's sewer mains and laterals employs a cure in
placement procedure. This method is a specialty liner designed to seal connections on lined pipe
less than 24 inches in diameter. It is a fiberglass laminate fully impregnated with an ultra violet
curing resin which is installed using equipment that inflates and pushes the liner into the
connection, leaving a 2 to 3-inch brim in the main pipe. Installed from inside the main pipeline
after lateral reopening, it provides a watertight seal at the connection. It also stops infiltration of
ground water, which can cause overloading of treatroent plants and ex-filtration of sewer water
into the ground.
On October 15, 2008, the Director of Engineering received three bids for the "Sewer
Rehabilitation Program - Phase 2, Fiscal Year 2005/2006 to Fiscal Year 2007/2008 various
locations in the City of Chula Vista (SW250B)" project. All proposals were contingent upon a
base bid and one additional alternate bid to rehabilitate five manholes (located at Harnden Dr., E
St./Landis Ave., 2 on Otay Lakes Rd. west ofSt. Claire Dr, ReislinglChardonnay Terrace). Staff

carefully analyzed the three bids submitted and determined that while all three bids contained
minor errors, the apparent low bidder's mathematical error favors the City's interest and was not
significant. Burtech Pipeline, Inc., the apparent low bidder, submitted a letter acknowledging its
$220.50 mathematical error, agreed to their submitted value (Attachment 2) and will honor the
lump sum bid price as submitted. Tonight's action will award the contract contingent upon the
submitted total base bid price. The bids from the three contractors are:
CONTRACTOR TOTAL
Burtech Pipeline, Inc. - Encinitas, CA $574,176.50
Southwest Civil Contracting, Inc. - San Marcos, CA $715,094.00
MJC Construction - Chula Vista, CA $949,945.00
The low bid by Burtech Pipeline, Inc. of $574,176.50 is $63,878.50 (10%) below the Engineer's
estimate of $638,075. The Engineer's estimate was based on average prices for similar types of
work completed during the last two years. Staff believes this action would benefit the City in the
form of saving the City more than $141,000. This Contractor has done previous work for the
City and all work was found to be satisfactory. All references checked were verified and
references confirmed that the Contractor's work has been satisfactory. The Contractor's License
Number is 718202 and is current and active. After reviewing the low bid, staff recommends
awarding a $574,176.50 contract to Burtech Pipeline, Inc. of Encinitas, California.
The locations of the proposed work are located throughout the City. Fifty-eight percent (58%) of
the repairs are located within the west side of Chula Vista and the remaining forty-two (42%)
percent are located in the east side ofI-805 Freeway (Attachment 3).
Approval of this resolution will authorize an inter-project transfer and authorize City staff to
expend all available funds and increase the value of the contract as necessary due to unforeseen
circumstances. Unforeseen circumstances may cause an increase in quantities beyond what was
anticipated during the preparation of the project specifications. Due to the age of the City streets
in the western part of the City, "unforeseen circumstances" may occur during the removal of the
existing sewer mains and excavation occurring within the street. Field conditions could also
differ from the proposed improvement plans and specifications. As a result, additional material
may be required to rehabilitate the project site, which could lead to possible "Change Orders" to
the contract. This is a typical situation with all sewer rehabilitation projects built in this area.
According to City Council Policy No. 574-01, if a change order exceeds the cumulative contract
change order aggregate amount allowable to be approved by the Director of Public Works
Operations, City Council approval is required. Under said City Council Policy the amount
would be $43,192.36. However, approval of tonight's resolution will increase the Director of
Public Works Operations' authority to approve change orders as necessary up to the contingency
amount of $64,000. If this money is not used during construction, the unexpended funds will be
redistributed back to the appropriate original funding source.
Wage Statement
The contractors who bid on this project were not required to pay prevailing wages to persons
employed by them for the work performed under this project. A "Notice to Contractors" was
sent to various trade publications in order to encourage disadvantaged businesses to bid on the
proj ect.

DECISION MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and has determined that the decision
concerns repairs, replacement, or maintenance of existing streets, water, sewer, storm drainage or
similar facilities and, therefore, there is not a material financial effect of the decision on the
property holdings of the City Council Members pursuant to California Code of Regulations
Sections I 8704.2(b)(2) and 18705.2(b)(1).
FISCAL IMPACT
Sufficient Sewer Facility Replacement funds were previously appropriated under Fiscal Year
2007/2008 and Fiscal Year 2008/2009 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) budgets for sewer
rehabilitation projects. It is proposed that these funds be combined and transferred into the
"Sewer Rehabilitation Program - Phase 2 Fiscal Year 2005/2006 to Fiscal Year 2007/08 various
locations in the City of Chula Vista (SW250B)" project to perform the required work.

SUMMARY
The pwpose of the public hearing is to solicit public input on the proposed amendment to
the 2008/2009 HOD Annual Action Plan to allocate new Neighborhood Stabilization
Program funds established by Title III of the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008
to various activities and $452,936 of existing prior year HOME entitlement funds to the
pilot homeownership program for real estate owned properties.
4/STHS VOTE: YES D NO 0
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Environmental Review Coordinator has reviewed the proposed project for compliance
with the National Environmental Protection Act due to the use of Federal funds, and has
determined that the proposed project is deemed exempt under the National Environmental
Protection Act (NEP A) Regulations.
RECOMMENDATION
Council conduct the public hearing and adopt the resolutions.
BOARDS/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
The Housing Advisory Commission reviewed the proposed amendments and allocations on
November 13,2008 and voted to recommend (5-0) Council adopt the proposed amendment
and allocations.
DISCUSSION
On May 6, 2008, the City Council approved the Fiscal Year 2008/2009 Annual Action
Plan (Action Plan) for three Federal Grant Programs and authorized its submittal to the
U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HOD). The Action Plan is
developed annually using significant public input and describes the City's spending
priorities. It serves as the local guide for three of HOD's grant programs [Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnership (HOME), and
Emergency Shelter Grant] which support activities to benefit lower income households.
8-2
11125/08, Item ~
Page 3 of 5
In September 2008, HUD notified the City of Chula Vista that in addition to the annual
CDBG entitlement, the City is eligible to receive approximately $2.8M in one-time
COBG funds through the new Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP). The purpose
of the NSP program is to assist cities dealing with the negative effects of abandoned and
foreclosed properties. In order to receive the grant funds, the City must submit to HUD
an amendment to the existing CDBG Annual Action Plan by December I, 2008
identifying how funds will be obligated within an 18 month period. The NSP funds may
be used to purchase foreclosed or abandoned homes/properties, rehabilitate, redevelop,
resell and/or rent these homes to help stabilize neighboring homes and neighborhoods.
The funds may not be used to assist households at risk offoreclosure.
In addition, HUD identified targeted responsibilities for state and local governments
implementing the NSP. A summary of those responsibilities are listed below:
I. Priority emphasis must be placed in targeting the funds to low- and moderate-income
areas, and other areas with the greatest need;
2. All funds must serve households less than 120 Percent of Area Median Income
(AMI); and
3. Not less than 25 percent of the funds shall be used toward very low mcome
individuals or families (incomes that do not exceed 50 percent of area median
income).
Annual Action Plan
The City of Chula Vista's Consolidated 5 Year Plan (adopted May 10, 2005) is a
comprehensive planning document which identifies the City's needs in housing,
homelessness, and community and economic development. The Annual Action Plan
includes the allocation of funds for capital improvements, community enhancement
projects, economic development, public services, affordable housing, first-time
homebuyer programs and administration! planning activities. Any subsequent changes or
revision to the approved Annual Action Plan constitutes a formal amendment to the Plan.
Under the NSP the City must fast-track community input by utilizing websites and a
streamlined process. In addition to the Housing Advisory Committee meeting on
November 13th, staff held public meetings to encourage input on the program, including
two general public meetings on October 16th and November 6th and an informational item
with the Chula Vista Redevelopment Corporation on November 13th. A 15-day comment
period to allow for the public to review the proposed amendment and make comments or
suggestions began on November lOth and will end on November 24, 2008. As of the date
of this report, there were no comments received. Comments received after the date of
this meeting will be incorporated into the amendment.
Proposed Amendment
The proposed amendment includes the allocation of $2.8M in NSP funds which are to be
channeled through the Community Development Block Grant Program. In order to
maximize use of the new funds, staff is proposing to allocate an additional $452,936 of
8-3
11/25/08, Item 1-
Page 4 of5
prior year HOME funds, totaling $3 million dollars in direct assistance to be used for the
purpose of stabilizing the housing crisis in our community.
As stated above, HUD has identified a series of criteria to identify those areas of "greatest
need" and establishing the most effective mechanisms for "stabilizing" neighborhoods.
Staff used a variety of data sources to document existing and predicted foreclosure data
as illustrated in the proposed amendment and identified areas of "greatest need" within
the City to address HUD's Target Responsibility #1. These target neighborhoods include
portions of northwest and southwest Chula Vista, Eastlake, and Otay Ranch communities,
as illustrated in Exhibit F of the attached draft 2008/2009 Annual Action Plan
Amendment.
After review of the eligible uses, identification of the target neighborhoods, and public
input, staff has identified those activities that most directly impact and assist declining
neighborhoods due to foreclosures, as follows:
. Target NSP funds for down payment and closing cost assistance for low- and
moderate-income buyers within the target neighborhoods. The City currently
administers a Down Payment and Closing Assistance Program funded through the
HOME program, limited to assisting households earning no more than 80% of the
Area Median Income (AMI). The new NSP program will allow funds to be used by
families earning up to 120% of the AMI, addressing HUD's Target Responsibility #2.
By allocating additional funds to an established City program the City will be able to
assist more families and remove up to 35 foreclosed properties from the market.
· Issue a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) to assist an organization in the
purchase and rehabilitation of foreclosed properties with the purpose of creating
permanent rental housing opportunities for residents below 50% of the AMI
(residents of this income category have limited disposable income to maintain
homeownership). The partners, including but not limited to, Community Housing
Development Organizations (CRDO) and/or the Regional Continuum of Care will
assist the City in identifying the best method for leveraging NSP funds with other
special needs or low income housing funding opportunities. By leveraging NSP
funds with HOME funds $IM has been allocated to each income category and
thereby has exceeded the HUD requirement to assist very low income residents, with
35% of the NSP funds designated for 50% AMI, addressing HUD's Target
Responsibility #3.
Following is a summary of the proposed use ofNSP funds:

DECISION MAKER CONFLICT .
Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council and has found three conflicts
exist, in that Councilmembers Castenada, McCann and Rindone have property holdings
within 500 feet of the boundaries of the target neighborhoods which are the subject of
this action, as follows:
. Northwest Target Neighborhood - Castaneda and Rindone
. Southwest Target Neighborhood - McCann
. East Target Neighborhood - no conflicts
FISCAL IMPACT
HOME Investment Partnership funds are block grant funds available to the City for
affordable housing purposes from the u.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development. Downpayment assistance loans and related administration are an eligible
HOME use. Funds totaling $452,936 will be allocated to the existing non-CIP project
number for this purpose.
By December 1 st the City must submit an Action Plan Amendment to identify the
expenditure ofNSP Funding in the amount of$2,830,072. NSP and HOME funds will be
brought back for appropriation, once the City is notified that the substantial amendment
has been approved by BUD.

for Implementation of the
Neighborhood Stabilization Program
A. AREAS OF GREATEST NEED
Introduction
Chula Vista is the second largest municipality in the County of San Diego metropolitan
statistical area (MSA, also known as "San Diego-Carlsbad-San Marcos"), with an estimated
population of 231,305 residents (based on San Diego Association of Governments). The
City covers approximately 50 square miles along the San Diego Bay and is surrounded by
National City, the City of San Diego, and the unincorporated areas of the County. Two
major north-south freeways, Interstate 5 and Interstate 805 traverse Chula Vista. The area
west of the 1-805 "western Chula Vista" is built up and includes redevelopment areas. The
"eastern area" is comprised of several master-planned communities in various stages of
approval and implementation.
Foreclosure Process California
California is a non-judicial foreclosure state. The foreclosure process begins with a
recorded Notice of Default (NOD), which is a public notification that the borrower has
fallen behind in the monthly mortgage payments. If the default is not cured, or the loan
renegotiated or replaced, the NOD is followed by a Notice of Trustee's Sales (NOTS/NDS)
after a minimum of three months. The actual Trustee's Sale can not occur less than 20 days
after public notice. The Trustee's Sale is a public auction, at which anyone may place a
bid, including the lender and any junior lien holders. The foreclosure process may be
stopped if the default is cured 5 days in advance of the sale date. If no one bids, and the
foreclosure process was not stopped, title (ownership) of the property reverts to the lender
as REO property (Real Estate Owned property). The typical foreclosure process takes at
least 117 days in California.
In Chula Vista within the past four months (from June 1,2008 through September 30, 2008)
there were a total of 935 properties taken all the way through the foreclosure process.
Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 (HERA)
The HERA statue indicates that a grantee should give priority emphasis in targeting the
funds that they receive to "those metropolitan areas, metropolitan cities, urban areas, rural
areas, low- and moderate-income areas, and other areas with the greatest need, including
those-
(A) with the greatest percentage of home foreclosures;
(B) with the highest percentage of homes financed by a subprime Mortgage related
loans; and
(C) identified by the State or unit of general local government as likely to face a
significant rise in the rate of home foreclosures."
In order to determine the impacted areas, or Target Neighborhoods, a variety of data
sources were reviewed.
DRAFT 2008/2009 Action Plan Amendment (NSP)
Narrative
Page1of14
8-8
Low- and Moderate-Income Eligible Census Tracts
The City of Chula Vista began its needs assessment by identifying the census tract block
groups in the City with income levels at or below 120 percent of the Area Median Income
(AMI). For purposes of this Amendment, the low, moderate, and middle-income areas will
be noted as "LMMI". This data was provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD) and this data can be found on the HUD website at the
following web address: http://www.huduser.org/publications/commdevl/nsp targethtml.
There are a total of 51 census tract block groups in the City and 32 of them are qualified
LMMI areas (81-120% AMI), asillustrated in Exhibit A. Exhibit A further delineates those
areas that are eligible under annual CDBG allocations at 80% of the area median income
and below.
HUD High Foreclosure Risk Areas
Foreclosures have occurred through the City of Chula Vista, but are concentrated in certain
areas. HUD has compiled a set of data that include the following:
. Area of unemployment rate;
. Area average housing sales price decline (since the peak of the market);
. High cost loan rate (mortgages with interest-only payment options, stated income
mortgages, mortgages with high loan to ratios, etc.);
. The predicted 18 month underlying foreclosure rate; and
. Housing units that have been vacant for at least 90 days.
The data is made available at the Census Tract Block Group (CTBG) level for the entire
country. The data for Chula Vista was evaluated and a 10-step priority ranking for those
CTBGs most at risk of becoming blighted due to large numbers of vacant, foreclosed units
was developed. Using the high cost loan rate and predicted 18-month underlying
foreclosure rates as key indicators for Chula Vista, the standard deviation was calculated for
the high cost loan rates. The standard deviation was then used as the threshold between
rank order numbers. A visual representation of these impacts is shown as Exhibit Band
summarized by census tract in Table 1.
Properties in Foreclosure
In order to establish those areas with the highest number of properties in the foreclosure
process, Chicago Title data was used to establish the number and locations of Notice of
Defaults (NOD), Trustee Sales (NDS), and Real-Estate Owned (REO) properties as recorded
from the period of June 1, 2008 to September 30, 2008. These impacts are illustrated in
Exhibit C and summarized by census tract in Table 1.
Abandoned Residential Property
In August 2007, the City of Chula Vista adopted an Ordinance which requires mortgage
lenders to inspect defaulted properties to confirm that they are occupied. If a property is
found to be vacant, the program requires that the lender exercise the abandonment clause
within their mortgage contract, register the property with the City and immediately begin to
secure and maintain the property to the neighborhood standard. A visual representation of
properties that were registered in the Abandoned Residential Property Program as of
October 15,2008 is shown as Exhibit D and summarized by census tract in Table 1.

Target Neighborhoods - Areas of Greatest Need
Based on the data collected above, those census tracts that had the highest risk and
foreclosures were identified, as illustrated in Exhibit E and Table 2. They included one or
more of the following criteria:
. HU D Risk score of 7 or higher;
. 100 or more recorded properties in foreclosure; and/or
. 50 or more properties registered in Abandoned Residential Properties program.

Since funding is limited, further analysis of the identified census tracts was required in
order to determine which should be included as Target Neighborhoods, in order to impact
specific communities within the City. Census tracts 12500 and 12600 are largely occupied
by the undeveloped Bayfrant with little residential property and were therefore excluded.
In addition, census tracts 13205 and 13206 are located along primarily industrial corridors
with little residential property. Tracts 13309 and 13312 were also excluded in order to
more directly target the southwest neighborhood west of Interstate 805 (1-805). Finally
census tracts 13311 and 13419 was excluded due to a high cost of houses in that area and
in order to focus funds more directly at the older section of Eastlake and Otay Ranch where
higher foreclosure rates exist.
The resulting focus areas are as follows, and depicted in Exhibits F - I:
1. Northwest Target Neighborhood - consisting of census tracts 12402 and 12700;
2. Southwest Target Neighborhood - consisting of census tracts 13303, 13306,
13307, and the residential portion of tract 13308; and
3. Eastern Target Neighborhood - consisting of census tracts 13418 and portions of
tracts 1 3310 and 13 311 .

Funding Breakdown
The City of Chula Vista will receive $2,830,072 in NSP funding. The City plans to use
55% of this funding as a financing mechanism to assist persons at or below 120% of area
median income and 35% of the funding for acquisition/rehabilitation of
abandoned/foreclosed properties to assist persons at or below 50% of area median income.
The remaining 10% or $283,007 will be used for administration.
Note that it may be necessary to shift funding from one eligible use to another in order to
meet the expenditure deadlines. However, as required by the NSP, the percentage of
Administration funding will not exceed 10% of the allocation and at least 25% will be used
for eligible activities to benefit persons or households at or below 50% of the area median
income. An illustration of the distribution and summary of each activity follows.

There is a very low income set aside provision in HERA where at least 25% of the NSP
funds must be utilized for the benefit of families at or below 50% area median income.
The City has exceeded this requirement by identifying 35% or $1,000,000 of the NSP
funding to acquire/rehabilitate single units or multi-family units in partnership with an
organization to provide permanent rental housing. The City will issue a Notice of Funding
Availability (NOFA) to partner with such organizations, including but not limited to:

Blight: California Health & Safety Code Section 33030 defines "blighted area" as one that
is:
1. Predominately urbanized;
2. Underutilized to the extent that is constitutes a serious physical and economic
burden on the community; and
3. Characterized by one or more physical or economic conditions as described and set
forth in Section 33031 to follow
a. This subdivision describes physical conditions that cause blight:
i. Buildings in which it is unsafe or unhealthy for persons to live or work.
These conditions can be caused by serious building code violations,
dilapidation and deterioration, defective design or physical construction,
faulty or inadequate utilities, or other similar factors.
II. Factors that prevent or substantiafly hinder the economically viable use or
capacity of buildings or lots. This condition can be caused by a
substandard design, inadequate size given present standards and market
conditions, lack of parking, or other similar factors.
III. Adjacent or nearby uses that are incompatible with each other and which
prevent the economic development of those parcels or other portions of the
project area.
4. The existence of subdivided lots of irregular form and shape and inadequate size for
proper usefulness and development that are in multiple ownership.
a. This subdivision describes economic conditions that cause blight:
i. Depreciated or stagnant property values or impaired investments, including,
but not necessarily limited to, those properties containing hazardous wastes
that require the use of agency authority as specified in Article 12.5
(commencing with Section 33459).
ii. Abnormally high business vacancies, abnormally low lease rates, high
turnover rates, abandoned buildings, or excessive vacant lots within an area
developed for urban use and served by utilities.
iii. A lack of necessary commercial facilities that are normally found in
neighborhoods, including grocery stores, drug stores, and banks and other
lending institutions.
iv. Residential overcrowding or an excess of bars, liquor stores, or other
businesses that cater exclusively to adults that has led to problems of public
safety and welfare.
v. A high crime rate that constitutes a serious threat to the public safety and
welfare.
Continued Affordability: For homebuyers, the City will use the standards of its HOME
Down Payment and Closing Cost Assistance Program where homebuyers repay the loan
upon transfer, sale or refinancing of the home. Such covenants are recorded against the
property. For rental the City will ensure the entire period of affordability through
monitoring, following the specific HOME monitoring requirements as defined in 24 CFR
Part 92.
Rehabilitation Standards:
For NSP related rehabilitation efforts, the City of Chula Vista will utilize the existing
Community Housing Improvement Program (CHIP) Rehabilitation Standards. The CHIP
Rehabilitation Standards are used to prioritize work items when determining the final scope
of work. Priorities include:
DRAFT 2008/2009 Action Plan Amendment (N5P)
Narrative
Page8of14
8-15
1. First priority is the elimination of California Health/Safety hazards and code
violations. This may include the following major systems or building components:
a. Structural: foundations, footings, chimneys, framing, siding, subfloors, roof
diaphragm, retaining walls, ete.
b. Plumbing: drain, waste, and vent systems, hot and cold water pipes, drainage
systems, plumbing fixtures, bathtubs, sinks, toilets, hot water heaters, ete.
e. Mechanical: heating and air conditioning to include any built-in, floor,
central, wall gas or electric unit.
d. Electrical: safe adequate wiring, service panel/amperage for modern
conveniences, service entrance, receptacles and, interior/exterior lighting.
e. Interior/Exterior building components: floor coverings, ranges/refrigerators,
garbage disposal, kitchen cabinets, counter tops, vanities, drywall, painting,
doors, windows, weatherization, smoke alarms, security bars, hazardous
building construction materials, concrete work and fencing etc.
f. Required Lead-Based Paint remediation.
2. Second priority is the elimination of potential violations. These work items would
include all of the work mentioned above that are not code violations today, but will
become violations at some time in the near future (two years or less). Examples
i ncl ude:
a. A roof covering that has reached its life expectancy, but shows no sign of
leaking.
b. Floor covering that is excessively worn and in a reasonably short period of
time will no longer be effective for the intended use.
e. Kitchen counter tops, appliances, bath vanities or tub surrounds which show
pitted or worn surfaces but are not bad enough to classify as a code violation.
d. Paint that is aged near its useful life expectancy but remains a washable
surface and provides adequate water and weather protection.
3. Third priority is energy and/or water conservation improvements. These
conservation improvements or repairs include insulation, water saving toilets or
other fixture, energy-efficient appl iances, water heaters and xeriscope yard
improvements.
4. Fourth priority is general property improvements. General property improvements
are those items which cannot be classified in the first three categories but by their
inclusion enhance the exterior or interior appearance of the dwelling or occupancy
of the inhabitants. For the most part, general property improvements are limited to
funding sources that allow them. In all cases the work must be justified. "Luxury"
items are not allowed. Some examples of general property improvements are:
a. Dishwashers (dishwashers may be a higher priority depending on circumstances
i.e., medical needs or replacement of an existing non-functioning unit).
b. Upgrading floor covering that may not be a safety or incipient violation.
e. Upgrading of obsolete kitchen cabinets that are in good to fair condition.
Individual rehabilitation programs administered by the City may forbid the
installation or repair of certain items. It is the responsibility of the City CHIP
Committee to know and understand program regulations and make decisions
accordingly. In addition, a Code Enforcement Officer will be on the Committee to
DRAFT 2008/2009 Action Plan Amendment (NSPI

codes/ordinances as well as the Uniform Building Code, National Electric Code,
Uniform Plumbing Code and the Uniform Housing Code are corrected.
Termite Repairs - a Termite Inspection Report is required and is prepared for every
home by a liCensed inspector. The report should identify any termite or dry rot
damaged wood members in the home as well as whether or not there are any active
termite infestations in the home. Any termite or dry rot damaged wood members in
the home are required to be replaced or repaired due to the health and safety risk
they pose to the structural integrity of the home. Fumigation or other treatments
recommended to eliminate any active termite infestations are required.
Ineli!<ible Items - There are specific items that mayor may not be allowed as
eligible work and are determined by need, circumstances and individual program
parameters. These items include:
1. Room Additions
2. Patio Covers and Slabs (replacement only unless existing conditions can be
documented/justified and authorized by the CHIP Committee)
3. Landscaping (except in the case of xeriscope yard improvements)
4. Garages and Carports

purchasing and rehabilitating abandoned or foreclosed upon homes or residential
properties for rental housing for individuals or families whose incomes do not exceed 50%
of the San Diego area median income. The amount of NSP funds allocated to this activity
represents 35% of the entire NSP funds, exceeding the required amount by 25%.
E. ACQUISITION AND RELOCATION
HUD requires that grantees indicate if they intend to demolish or convert low- and
moderate-income dwelling units. The City of Chula Vista does not intend to conduct these
activities.
F. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION

funding as a financing mechanism (Down Payment and Closing Cost Assistance) to
assist persons at or below 120% of area median income to acquire foreclosed or
abandoned residential properties. Priority will be given to first-time homebuyers
that are purchasing within the Targeted Neighborhoods and will closely mirror the
City's existing program guidelines for the Shared Equity: Down Payment and

DISCUSSION
The CDBG, HOME and ESG grants are used to benefit lower income persons by
providing affordable housing opportunities and community development projects and
programs. The City is awarded approximately $3,000,000 annually in combined grant
funds. However, due to recent budget cuts at the Federal level the City may receive a 5 %
reduction from last year, which would totaI approximately $2,900,000. Of this amount,
$2,000,000 represents CDBG funds. In September 2006, BUD approved a $9.5 million
Section 108 Loan. Beginning with fiscal year 2008-2009, the City's debt service
obligation was approximately $650,000 off the top of the CDBG annual entitlement,
leaving approximately $1.2 million for administration, projects and programs.
Annual Process:
FederaI Citizen Participation Regulations governing the grant programs require that the
City hold a minimum of two public hearings at different stages in the annual plan
process. This public hearing represents the first public hearing for this fiscal year, and is
being held to review last year's performance, and to solicit input on low income housing
and community development needs and funding priorities. The existing City
Consolidated Plan identifies eight .funding priorities divided into two categories:
Housing and Non- Housing as detailed below:
. Housing:
o Production of Affordable Housing
o Affordable Housing Opportunities (First Time Homebuyers, RentaI Assistance)
o MaintainlPreserve Affordable Housing (Rehabilitation)
· Non-Housing:
o Infrastructure Improvements
o Public Facilities
o Public Services
o Accessibility/ADA Improvements
o Economic Development
Funding applications for the three grant programs are currently available to all interested
organizations and city departments. Staff will review all applications to determine
eligibility during the months of January and February. Staff will then return to Council in
March to present proposed allocations to projects.
Performance Evaluation:
The City's overaIl grant management performance is assessed primarily on the
Consolidated Annual Performance EvaIuation Report (CAPER) which was submitted to
BUD at the conclusion of the 2007/2008 fiscal year. The CAPER provided HUD with all
the required fmanciaI and performance information for the CDBG, HOME and ESG
grant programs. It also includes a narrative describing how the City carried out its
housing and community development strategies, projects, and activities during the fiscaI
year. A copy of the narrative is included with this report as Attachment No. I. The
9-2
NOVEMBER 25, 2008, Item~
Page 3 of 3
remaining HUD reports are on file in the Redevelopment and Housing due to their large
SIze.
In summary, the CAPER demonstrated that the City:
. Expended the grant funds in a timely marmer;
. Funded only eligible projects, per HUD standards;
. . Provided detailed accomplishment data for all grant-funded projects; and,
. Maintained its administration and public services expenditures within the mandated
caps.
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)(1) is not applicable to this decision.
FISCAL IMPACT
No expenditure or allocation of City funds is required; therefore, there is no fiscal impact.

C. Affirmatively Further Fair Housing
Assessment of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice:
In FY 2003-04, the City participated in a regional effort to update the Analysis of
Impediments to Fair Housing Choice, This regional AI involved ali 19 jurisdictions in
San Diego County. The Draft AI was available for a 30-day public review beginning
September 13,2004 through October 12,2004. The 2004 AI identified the foliowing
impediments:
. Many fair housing vioiations tend to be committed by smali "mom and pop"
rental operations, These property owners/managers are often not members of
the San Diego County Apartments Association, Outreaching to this group is
difficult.
. Hispanics and Blacks continue to be under-represented in the homebuyer
market; there are large disparities in loon approval rates, Many of the reasons for
application denial relate to credit history and financial management factors.
. Jurisdictions should collaborate to provide education and outreach on Credit
History and Financial Management.
. Discrimination against people with disabilities has become an Increasing fair
housing concern,
. limited regional coordination efforts,
. Fair housing service providers report accomplishments and statistical data in
different formats based on the requirements of each jurisdiction. Ethnicities and
income data are also tracked differently across jurisdictions, Inconsistent
reporting makes tracking trends difficult,
. Fair housing services vary across the region based on the agency providing the
services and the work scopes of each sub-recipient contract. Differing levels of
funding may also be an explanation accounting for variances in services.
. As many individual homeowners enter the business of being a landlord by renting
out their homes, many may not be aware of current laws,
. Educational and outreach literature regarding fair housing issues, rights, and
services on websites or at public counters is limited, '
. Housing choices for persons with disabilities are limited,
. Discrimination against people with disabilities has become an increasing fair
housing concern,
. Lead-based paint hazards often disproportionately affect minorities and families
with children,
. While education and outreach efforts are a clear priority of ali agencies involved,
a review of sub-recipient contracts, Action Plans, CAPER reports, and annual
accomplishment reports indicates a lack of quantifiable goals, objectives, and
accomplishments to gauge success or progress,
. Sales audits and lending audits are rarely performed.
. While tenant/landlord disputes are not fair housing issues in general, providing
dispute resolution services may prevent certain situations from escalating to
discrimination issues,
. Various land use policies, zoning provisions, and development regulations may
. affect the range of housing choice'available,

D. Affordable Housing:
Very low income renters and owners are typically considered to have the worst case
needs in the City, thus providing affordable housing opportunities has been a main
goal of the City, During Program Year 2007-08, Chula Vista used a combination of
HOME and redevelopment set-aside funds to provide continued implementation of
affordable housing/homeownership programs and rehabilitation programs,
During FY 2007-2008, an open Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) process was
made available for disbursement of HOME affordable housing development funds,
The open NOFA process encourages multi-family projects,
Np.w Constn Jetion: During this CAPER period the following projects were undertaken:
1) MAAC Project - Seniors on Broadway ($3,511,195 of HOME funds): Construction
continued on the affordable housing project which consists of 41 very low

2) The Landings ($920,000 of HOME funds): This project inciudes 92 affordable units

need, The City provided affordable housing rental assistance through the Section 8
Program (administered by the County) and by the Tenant Based Rental Assistance
Program (TBRA) funded through HOME funds and administered by City staff, In
addition, a short-term rental assistance program was administered by South Bay

housing selVices. Located in Chula Vista, SBCS offers assistance to persons who are "near
homeless' through coordination of available selVices and financial resources and

F. Other Actions
1. Actions Taken to Address Obstacles to Meeting Underserved Needs:
The City is continuing in its effort to remove obstacles to meeting under-seNed needs
throughout the community, Chula Vista has made a commitment to budget CDBG
funds at the maximum allowable for pUblic seNice activities to offer citizens much
needed programs and seNices in the area of IiteracYijob training, youth activities,
senior seNices, violence prevention, meal delivery, and health care assistance for
low-income families. In addition, the City has hired additional staff to administer
CDBG, HOME, and ESG programs aimed at meeting the needs of low to moderate-
income residents throughout the City.
For FY 2007-08, Chula Vista allocated $344,928, close to the maximum allowable for
public seNice activities.
2. Foster and Maintain Affordable Housing:
The City has developed and utilizes an Affordable Housing Agreement for all new
housing developments occurring in Chula Vista. This agreement stipulates that 10
percent of the total dwelling units in a new development must be set-aside for low
and moderate income households. This inclusionary housing requirement is strongly
supported by the City Council and has made it possible for affordable units to be co-
mingled with market-rate units in all areas of the City.
The City also maintains housing through the Community Housing Improvement
Program (CHIP). The purpose of this program is to assist low income households
rehabilitate their existing home. Both single-family and mobile homes are eligible to
receive assistance.
The Seniors on Broadway project was completed in October 2007, This inciuded 41
low-income rental units for seniors. In addition, the City began construction on the
"Landings" Project which consists of 92 affordable units (11 HOME funded).
3. Eliminate Barriers to Affordable Housing:
The City has participated in the Mortgage Credit Certificate (MCC) program since
1991. This program is offered to first-time home buyers purchasing homes in Chula
Vista. The purpose of this program is to assist low and moderate Income households
purchase their first home. The main benefit of the MCC program is in the form of a
tax credit in the amount of 20 percent of the mortgage interest paid annually.
During 2007/08 a total of 3 Certificates were issued. No Certificates were reissued.
4. Overcome Gaps in the Institutional Structure and Enhance Coordination:
To assure the effective use of funds and efficiency In the delivery of seNices, the
City's Institutional structure consists of many departments working together to
provide seNices to City residents. In particular, the Redevelopment Agency and the
Community Development Department work closely together to provide housing,
community, infrastructure, and economic development activities.
The City also collaborates with many organizations, such as public seNice agencies,
Homeless Shelters, and Community Housing Development Corporations (CHDO's)
which playa role in implementing the City's five-year strategy, The coordination of
City of Chula Vista
Page 22 of 33
9-30
CAPER
FY 2007-08
these organizations rests within the Community Development Department of the
City.
The City also relies on the Regional Coordinators Meetings. These meetings are
attended by all jurisdictions in the County of Sail Diego and Imperial County as well
as a minimum of one HUD representative. Items discussed include changing and
new regulations applicable to the CDBG,.HOME and ESG grant programs.
5. Improve Public Housing Residential Initiatives:
The Housing Authority of the County of San Diego (HACSD) operates four
conventional public housing developments in Chula Vista, with a total of 120 units.
They are all managed by Terrantino Property Management and were recently
upgraded to meet ADA and Section 504 compliance. These public housing units
include:
. Dorothy Street Manor - 22 low income family units
. Melrose Manor - 24 low income family units
. Town Centre Manor - 59 low income senior/disabled units
. L Street Manor - 16 low income family units
The Housing Authority has formed a Public Housing Resident Association in order to
increase resident awareness and involvement in the enhancement of their housing
environment and operations. There were no needs that required funding from the
City during FY 2007-08, and the agency is not designated as troubled; thus, no
additional funding was given to the agency.
6. Evaluate and Reduce Lead-Based Paint Hazards
The City of Chula Vista has a two-tiered approach to the evaluation and elimination
of lead-based paint hazards where the problem has been determined to be most
prevalent. The County of San Diego's lead-based paint hazard evaluation program,
known as the Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program (CLPPP), involves
outreach, screening, case management, and public education. The overall lead
poisoning program is administered through the County of San Diego, Department of
Health Services (DHS).
The City also has in piace a loan/grant program to assist homeowners alleviate lead-
based paint hazards through the Community Housing Improvement Program (CHIP);
however, the City utilizes Low and Moderate Income Housing Funds for this purpose.
As part of the City's FirsHime Homebuyers Program and Residential Rehabilitation
Program, lead-based paint hazard evaluation and remediation is incorporated into
these programs as follows:
Owners are provided with information regarding: 1) Sources of LBP, 2) Hazards and
Symptoms, 3) Blood Lead Level Screening, 4) Precautions, 5) Maintenance and
Treatment of LBP Hazards, 6) Tenant and Homebuyer Responsibilities
Prior to rehabilitation loan/grant approval, the homeowner read and sign a copy of

8. Ensuring Compliance with Program and Comprehensive Planning Requirements:
Monitoring for the City of Chula Vista is directed toward programmatic, financial and
regulatory performance. The primary objects are to ensure that all sub-recipients:
. Comply with pertinent regulations governing their administrative, financiaL
programmatic operations;
. Achieve their performance objectives within scheduie and budget; and,
. Assess capabiiities and/or any potential needs for training or technical assistance
in these areas.
Careful evaluation of the housing and public service delivery system can be the
most effective tool in detecting gaps and making appropriate modifications. As
such, the City of Chula Vista monitors and evaluates its sub-recipients, CHDO's, and
CBDO's as part of the pre-award assessment. Evaluation of the nature of the
activity, proposed plan for carrying out the activity, the organization's capacity to
do the work, and the possibility of potential conflicts of interest are within the pre-
award assessment.
After awards have been made Quarterly Progress reports are required of each sub-
recipient, which must be current prior to approval of any request for reimbursement
of expenditures. In addition tothe Quarterly Progress reports, annuai monitoring is
conducted to ensure compliance with federal regulations. Agreements made with
sub-grantees encourage uniform reporting to achieve consistent information on
beneficiaries. Technical assistance is provided throughout the year, in addition to
the City's annual Subrecipient training.

ITEM TITLE:
4/5THS VOTE: YES D NO [!]
SUMMARY
The purpose of the City of ChuIa Vista's Legislative Program is to provide City staff with
guidelines and broad policy direction on how to respond to legislative proposals initiated in
Sacramento and Washington DC. It also indicates the City Council's priorities on those
matters that should receive the greatest amount of staff time and attention throughout the
course of the legislative session. The City's Legislative Program is reviewed and updated in
each year in accordance with Council Policy (300-01).
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 of the State CEQA
Guidelines because it does not result in a direct physical change to 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
Adopt the resolution.
BOARDS/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
Not applicable.
DISCUSSION
On December 18, 2007 the City Council considered and approved the proposed 2008
Legislative Program. As noted above, this document is reviewed and updated each year
10-1
NOVEMBER 25,2008, ItemJ.(L
Page 2 of2
to ensure that city staff members have the direction needed to respond to legislative
proposals in accordance with the City Council's priorities and preferences.
Those items covered by the Legislative Program can be acted upon with the concurrence
of the City's Legislative Committee. This allows the city to respond quickly to measures
that would affect city operations, revenue resources etc.
Measures that are not covered by the Legislative Program, but which city staff believes
are significant enough to merit a response from Chula Vista, are brought before the full
City Council for consideration and direction.
The document presented for Council action this evening reflects input from each
department within the City. It was presented to all members of the City Council as an
information item on October 30, with a request that members of the Council provide
requests for additions, deletions or amendments prior to this evening's meeting. All
comments received by November 17, 2008 have been included.
DECISION MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the decisions contemplated by this action and determined that it is not
site specific at this time, and consequently the 500 foot rule found in California Code of
Regulations section 1 8704.2(a)(I) is not applicable to this decision.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no direct fiscal impact associated with adoption of the Legislative Program.
Success in obtaining state or federal funding for individual projects may result in the
receipt of funds to the City, however those cannot be determined at this time.

CPUC ISSUES PROPOSED DECISIONS IN
SUNRISE TRANSMISSION LINE PROCEEDING
SAN FRANCISCO, October 31, 2008 - The California Public Utilities Commission
ECPUq today released an Administrative Law Judge Proposed Decision and a
Commissioner's Alternate Proposed Decision regarding San Diego Gas and Electric
Company's (SDG&E) proposed ISO-mile Sunrise Powerlink Transmission Project.
The Proposed Decision sponsored by an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) denies the
Sunrise application, stating that the line is not needed to meet California's current
renewable requirements, and that, if constructed, it could result in very significant costs
to ratepayers and extensive environmental damage. Among other things, the AU's
proposed decision states SDG&E's service area will not experience a reliability need or
"shortfall" until 2014, and the shortfall may be met more economically and more reliably
with generation-based alternatives.
The Alternate Proposed Decision sponsored by Commissioner Dian M. Grueneich, the
assigned Commissioner in the Sunrise proceeding, approves, with conditions, the Final
Environmentally Superior Southern Route for Sunrise that is described in the Final
Environmental Impact ReportlEnvironmental Impact Statement. This route avoids Anza-
Borrego Desert State Park and all tribal lands. The Alternate Proposed Decision also
concludes that Sunrise is not needed to meet California's current 20 percent by 2010
renewables requirement, but that it will be needed to meet California's greenhouse gas
(GHG) reduction goals by facilitating renewable procurement at 33 percent levels.
I
fIlll~..~ California Public Utilities Commission
11-3
Exhibit A
The Alternate Proposed Decision fmds that if Sunrise is used to deliver renewable power
at 33 percent levels it will generate over $100 million per year in ratepayer benefits.
Thus, the Alternate Proposed Decision requires SDG&E to prepare a "Sunrise
Compliance Plan" for CPUC approval that will ensure that substantial amounts of
Imperial Valley renewables will be delivered on the line. If SDG&E agrees to the
condition, it will be permitted to engage in pre-construction activities prior to the CPUC's
approval of its compliance plan, but it may not engage in any activities that could result
in a material physical impact to the environment.
In describing the Alternate Proposed Decision, Commissioner Grueneich said, "It is
critical that we focus on our GHG goals. If Sunrise can deliver the Imperial Valley
renewables promised by SDG&E, we can go a long way toward meeting those goals and
provide hundreds of millions of dollars in ratepayer benefits."
Oral argument in the proceeding will be held in the CPUC's Auditorium at 505 Van Ness
Ave., San Francisco, on November 7,2008, at 10:30 a.m. Parties in the proceeding may
also file comments on the Proposed Decisions and! or Alternate Proposed Decision by
November 20,2008, and reply comments by November 25,2008.
The CPUC's first opportunity to vote on the ALl Proposed Decision and the Alternate
Proposed Decision is December 4, 2008. Any Commissioner may draft another Alternate
Proposed Decision presenting differing conclusions or opinions for consideration by the
full CPUC. Within 30 days after a decision is issued by the CPUC, parties can apply for
rehearing.
For further information on the CPUC's decision-making process, please call the CPUC
Public Advisor at (866) 849-8390 or (415) 703-2074 or email

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
October 31, 2008
Docket #: A.06-08-01 0
Sunrise Powerlink Transmission Project
What is Sunrise?
Sunrise is a transmission line proposed by San Diego Gas and Electric Company
(SDG&E). SDG&E filed a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (CPCN)
seeking approval to construct Sunrise from the California Public Utilities Commission
(CPUC). SDG&E's initial construction proposal, referred to as the proposed project,
contemplates a new transmission line running approximately 150 miles from the EI
Centro area of Imperial County through Anza-Borrego Desert State Park (Anza-Borrego)
to northwestern San Diego County. The proposed project includes construction of91
miles of 500-kilovolt (kV) line and 59 miles of230 kV transmission line, replacement of
transmission cable for several other lines, a new substation, and modification of several
other substations.
What is currently happening in the Sunrise case?
The CPUC and the United States Bureau of Land Management published the Final
Environmental Impact Report/Environmental Impact Statement (Final EIRIEIS) on
October 13, 2008.
On October 31,2008, the CPUC issued two proposals for CPUC consideration: a
Proposed Decision sponsored by the assigned Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) in the
case, and an Alternate Proposed Decision sponsored by Commissioner Dian M.
Grueneich, the assigned Commissioner in the Sunrise proceeding.
There will be oral argument in the case in the CPUC's auditorium at 505 Van Ness Ave.,
San Francisco, on November 7,2008, at 10:30 a.m. The public is welcome to attend.
The CPUC may vote on either of the proposals, or may consider another Alternate, if one
is sponsored by another Commissioner.
The first opportunity for the CPUC Commissioners to vote on the two Sunrise proposals
is at the CPUC's December 4, 2008, public business meeting.

flIl.../~,~ California Public Utilities Commission
Exhibit B I
What does the ALJ's Proposed Decision decide and why?
The ALI's Proposed Decision denies SDG&E's application for a CPCN to build Sunrise
because the ALl determined:
· Sunrise will have many significant and unmitigable impacts on the environment;
· Sunrise is not needed to meet SDG&E's renewables portfolio standard (RPS)
obligation of obtaining 20 percent of its power from renewable sources by 2010;
· Assuming a 20 percent RPS, Sunrise is not economic and will potentially generate
significant ratepayer costs;
· SDG&E' s service area will not experience a reliability need or "shortfall" until
2014; and
. Other generation-based alternatives will meet SDG&E's eventual reliability needs
more economically and with fewer significant and unmitigable impacts on the
environment than Sunrise.
What does Commissioner Grueneich's Alternate Proposed Decision decide and
why?
The Alternate Proposed Decision conditionally approves SDG&E's CPCN application to
build Sunrise along the Final Environmentally Superior Southern Route based on CPUC
approval of an SDG&E compliance plan to ensure that substantial amounts of Imperial
Valley renewable resources will be delivered over Sunrise.
The approved route, the Final Environmentally Superior Southern Route, avoids Anza-
Borrego. Both the ALl's and Commissioner Grueneich's proposals fmd that any route
through Anza-Borrego would have too many significant unmitigable environmental
impacts and is infeasible.
The Alternate Proposed Decision deviates from the Proposed Decision by assuming
higher combustion turbine prices and focusing on the economic results assuming
renewable procurement at 33 percent RPS levels. Under these assumptions, the Alternate
Proposed Decision fmds:
. Sunrise will generate over $100 niillion per year in ratepayer benefits,
significantly more than the other alternatives;
· The CPUC is committed to achieving greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions in the
energy sector through, in part, renewable procurement at 33 percent RPS levels;
· The other environmentally preferred alternatives are infeasible for meeting these
broader policy goals; and
· Sunrise - in the form of the Final Environmentally Superior Southern Route - is
the highest ranked Alternative that will facilitate CPUC policy to achieve GHG
reductions through renewable procurement at 33 percent RPS levels in the
shortest time possible with the greatest economic benefits.
2 California Public Utilities Commission
Exhibit B I
What is the Alternate Proposed Decision's condition on SDG&E's construction of
the Environmentally Superior Southern Route?
The Alternate Proposed Decision finds that to the extent that the Final Environmentally Superior
Southern Route is used to deliver substantial amounts of Imperial Valley renewables to
consumers, it will contribute to meeting California's OHO goals and generate over $100 million
per year in ratepayer benefits. Absent delivering substantial amounts of renewables, Sunrise
could generate significant ratepayer costs, and may generate significant construction-related
carbon dioxide emissions that will not be offset by its operation.
To ensure the OHO emission reductions and economic benefits estimated for the Final
Environmentally Superior Southern Route, the Alternate Proposed Decision conditions CPUC
approval of Sunrise on SDO&E providing sufficient assurance that the Final Environmentally
Superior Southern Route will be used to deliver substantial amounts of Imperial Valley
renewable generation to the California market, including San Diego.
If SDO&E agrees to such a condition, it would notify the CPUC of its agreement in a letter to the
CPUC's Executive Director within 20 days of the decision. It would then submit a plan to the
CPUC, in the form of an application that describes how it will ensure that Sunrise will be used to
deliver substantial amounts of Imperial Valley renewable generation (Sunrise Compliance Plan).
Prior to the CPUC's approval of the Sunrise Compliance Plan, SDO&E may engage in pre-
construction activities, but it may not engage in any activities that could result in a material
physical impact to the environment.
What is the route of the Final Environmentally Superior Southern Route?
The Final Environmentally Superior Southern Route is 123 miles long and stretches from
the Imperial Valley Substation in the east ofSDO&E's service area to Sycamore Canyon
Substation in the north west ofSDO&E's service area. The line would be 500 kV for
92.5 miles and then convert to 230 kV for 30.3 miles from the new Modified Route D
Substation to the Sycamore Canyon Substation.
From east to west, the line would follow 1-8 and the Southwest Powerlink route for nearly
36 miles in an area oflow fire risk, would loop north ofI-8 for 17 miles, and then
south again, where it would rougWy parallel the Southwest Powerlink route for another
13 miles near the Hauser Wilderness Area with a separation of 3 to 5 miles between the
two lines. The line would then cut north near the existing Barrett Substation and would
travel underground in Alpine Boulevard to the west, returning to overhead adjacent to 1-8
and terminating at Sycamore Canyon Substation.
The Final Environmentally Superior Southern Route would pass through 19.2 miles of
Cleveland National Forest land within acceptable land use zones and the proposed federal
Section 368 utility corridor.

iAli11Jlj'fJ~ California Public Utilities Commission
Exhibit B I
Does the Alternate Proposed Decision propose any conditions to respond to wildfire
concerns?
The Alternate Proposed Decision requires significant mitigation to address wildfires that could
be ignited due to both the construction and operation of the line. Such mitigation includes:
· Prohibiting construction during extreme weather conditions to reduce the risk of
potentially catastrophic wildfire ignitions during construction;
· Ensuring adequate removal of hazardous vegetation;
. Requiring the replacement of existing 69 kV wood poles that are within 100 feet
of the project with steel poles to mitigate the potential fire hazard of a wood pole
being knocked into the adjacent conductors;
. Requiring weed abatement and controls for invasive weeds to prevent
establishment of non-native plants that have a high ignition potential and carry
fires at a high rate of spread; and
. Requiring climbing inspections on 10 percent of the project structures annually to
improve detection of imminent component failures that could result in wildfrre
ignitions.
When would the line, if built, be operational?
SDG&E has projected that the line would be operational by 2011, but that estimate is overly
optimistic. There is no reliability shortfall in SDG&E's service area until 2014, and that shortfall
is projected to be very small. Consequently, there is sufficient time to develop Imperial Valley
renewables and construct the line without an impact on SDG&E's quality of service.

Honorable Cheryl Cox
Mayor
City of Chuia Vista
276 Fourth Avenue, MS A-10t
Chula Vista, CA 91910
Dear Mayor Cox:
Thank you for your letter of January 7, 2008, regarding the future of the South Bay Power Plant
("SBPP"), The letter asks the California Independent System Operator (ISO) to respond to the
following questions:
1) What is the function of the SBPP as it relates to reliability and transmission?
2) What needs to occur in order to reduce the reliability designation on the SBPP enough
to allow the lattice towers and transmission lines to be removed by December 2008?
3) What needs to occur in order to eliminate the Reliability Must Run (RMR) designation on
SBPP so that it can be decommissioned and removed by February 2011?
I understand that the City of Chula Vista is in negotiations with various parties regarding the future
use of the bay front that would require removal of the SBPP, Thus, the liming of the possible
retirement of the SBPP is an important factor in these negotiations, As you know, the generating
units at the SBPP are currently designated by the CAISO as Reliability Must-Run (RMR) units, This
designation cannot be removed until local reliability requirements can be met without the SBPP,
The CAISO is a non profit public benefit corporation chartered under the laws of the State of
California for the purpose of operating and maintaining the reliability of the statewide electric
transmission grid, The reliability of the transmission grid is dependent on a number of specific power
plants located in specific areas, SBPP is, in fact, critical to maintaining the reliability of the San
Diego area, In order to remove the RMR designation from SBPP, the Califomia ISO must find that
reliability requirements can be met without SBPP units,
In May 2007, San Diego Gas & Electric ("SDG&E") entered into an agreement with the operator of
the SBPP to fill SDG&E's Local Capacity Area Resource requirement needs as mandated by the
California Public Utility Commission (CPUC). This agreement runs through December 31, 2009 and
l 151 Blue RavioeRoad i FOI50m.CA9S630~ r~391.4400
Mayor Cox
January 2B, 200B

will secure all of the 704-megawatt capacity from the SBPP to the region. Although this agreement
will provide SDG&E more flexibility over the operation of the facility and will ensure that the output
from the plant is available to the CAISO to support the local area needs, the CAISO concluded that
continued RMR designation was required in order to ensure availability of the resource to meet local
reliability needs.
The CAISO is aware of the widespread interest that exists to see SBPP decommissioned and has
been in discussions with SDG&E about the requirements necessary to remove the SBPP'S RMR
designation. In order to remove the RMR designation, there are a number of modifications to the
transmission and/or generation infrastructure that must happen first to ensure that local area
reliability is maintained.
Three projects are underway to meet this local area reliability requirement. First, with respect to the
need for new resources, construction of the Otay Mesa Energy Center is currentiy underway.
Second, SDG&E has filed an application with the CPUC to construct the Sunrise Powerlink
Transmission Project that will enable SDG&E to substantially improve system reliability and provide
access to renewable resources. Third, SDG&E has recently executed contracts with two developers
for new peaking generation resources in its service territory. .
From the CAISO's perspective, at least two out of three of these major modifications must occur
before the RMR designation at the SBPP can be removed. In addition to these modifications, the
new Silvergate 230 kV substation and its related upgrades (scheduled for December 200B) as well
as the new Baja Norte natural gas interconnection (scheduled for January 200B) must both be in
service.
Given that the Otay Mesa Energy Center is under construction, the future addition of Sunrise
Powerlink would satisfy the requirements for removal of RMR designation at SBPP. If Sunrise is
delayed or not constructed, additional new peaking generation will be required within SDG&E's
service territory. The amount of new capacity would be based on the CAISO's existing grid reliability
standards, which are analyzed each year. Based on the current status of the previously noted
projects, the RMR designation at the SBPP could be removed as eariy as 2010. However, delays in
construction of the Sunrise Powerlink, lack of sufficient new peaking capacity, or delays in the in-
service dates in implementing the new Baja Norte natural gas interconnection, would clearly delay
this date. Once the RMR designation is removed, there should be no CAISO-related impediment to
retiring and decommissioning SBPP.

I trust that this sheds some light on the California ISO's role in determining the generation and
transmission infrastructure necessary to ensure grid reliability and its analysis of local reliability
needs related to the SBPP. If you have additional questions, please call All Chowdhury, Director of

CPUC PRESIDENT RELEASES ALTERNATE PROPOSED DECISION
IN SUNRISE PROCEEDING
SAN FRANCISCO, November 18, 2008 - The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) today released
an Alternate Proposed Decision by President Michael R. Peevey that approves San Diego Gas and Electric
Company's (SDG&E) construction of the ISO-mile Sunrise Powerlink Transmission Project in order to meet
renewable power goals.
President Peevey's Alternate Proposed Decision approves the Final Environmentally Superior Southern Route
for the line in order to deliver renewable generation that would otherwise remain unavailable. "It is well
recognized that the lack of transmission is the single biggest barrier to meeting renewable power goals and thus
lowering greenhouse gas emissions," said President Peevey. "My Alternate Proposed Decision clears the way
for a new renewable energy superhighway, allowing us to tap into the Imperial Valley's rich renewable
resources without delay or unnecessary barriers."
President Peevey's Alternate Proposed Decision follows Governor Schwarzenegger's Executive Order, signed
yesterday, committing to increase the state's renewable energy goal to 33 percent by 2020 and clear the red tape
for renewable projects. "Investors are lining up to pour hundreds of millions of dollars into developing the
Imperial Valley's renewable potential, bringing high-paying new jobs to the region and clean energy to all
Californians," said President Peevey. "But before they can break ground they need to know that they will be
able to move the energy to market."
President Peevey's Alternate Proposed Decision finds that the line will generate net benefits of over $125
million per year and is the best way to meet the Governor's goals of achieving greenhouse gas reductions
through renewable procurement at 33 percent levels in the shortest time possible. "It is important to look at this
issue from a statewide, long-term perspective," said President Peevey. "I believe my Alternate Proposed
Decision will facilitate CPUC policy to achieve greenhouse gas reductions in the shortest time possible with the
greatest economic benefits."
President Peevey's Alternate Proposed Decision will be considered by the CPUC's five Commissioners along
with two other proposals: an Administrative Law Judge Proposed Decision that denies the Sunrise application
and an Alternate Proposed Decision sponsored by Commissioner Dian M. Grueneich that approves, with
conditions, the Southern Route for Sunrise.
President Peevey's Alternate Proposed Decision is available at: http://docs.cpuc.ca.gov/etile/ALT/93956.pdf.
Parties may file comments on President Peevey's Alternate Proposed Decision. The CPUC's first opportunity
to vote on the three proposals is December 18, 2008.
