RE: Resource Conservation Commission
October 9, 2009
Dear Michael:
This letter is a follow-up to previous correspondence notifying you of my resignation
from the City of Chula Vista's Resource Conservation Commission. The effective date of
the resignation is September 14,2009.
I have enjoyed serving on the commission since 2005 and would appreciate the receipt of
continued correspondence related to energy and water conservation as well as any
information regarding watershed, water quality, stream restoration, and bay outfall issues.
I have chosen to focus my volunteer efforts on the formation of a watershed network in
the region, which will focus on the identification existing flooding and erosiol).
conditions, identification of existing water quality issues, and the development of
integrated, multi-beneficial use solutions. Since these solutions would likely include a
water conservation element, the efforts could potentially cross paths with efforts of the
City's Resource Conservation Commission.
Thank you for your time assisting with and maintaining the relevance of the Resource
Conservation Commission.
S incerel y,

BACKGROUND:
Approval of an amended Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the San Diego
Urban Area Regional CAD Interoperability Project Executive Committee is requested for
the development of and implementation of interoperable communications capabilities
among public safety agencies. This amended MOU contains additional provisions that
address issues not covered by the original MOU. Approval of the amended MOU will
help to ensure the timely delivery of this regional project.
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 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:
That Council adopts the resolution

DISCUSSION:
On August 11, 2009 the Chula Vista City Council approved a Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) with the San Diego Urban Area Regional CAD Interoperability
Project Executive Committee for the development of and implementation of interoperable
communications capabilities among public safety agencies. The approval of this MOU
enabled the City to participate and benefit from the development of the Regional
Computer-Aided-Dispatch Interoperability Project (RCIP).
The purpose of the RCIP is to connect all of the SDUA fire and law enforcement
emergency dispatch centers and their existing CAD systems through a network of
specialized computers and custom software packages. This specialized equipment and
custom software will allow agencies to share assets in separate computer aided dispatch
systems. Once completed, this project will allow responding units from different
agencies to have the ability to send and receive call information and Geographic
Information Systems (GIS) information for locating calls in any jurisdiction. Responding
units in these jurisdictions will also be able to see one another as they converge on an
emergency, lending a measure of increased safety and accountability that has not been
previously available. The sharing of this data greatly enhances the ability of any
participating agency to obtain heightened Situational Awareness during major events.
Subsequently, the San Diego Urban Area Regional CAD Interoperability Project
Executive Committee has made changes to the MOU that governs the development of
this project. These changes address issues that were not covered in the original MOU and
are necessary to ensure the timely development and regional deployment of the RCIP.
The major changes contained in the amended MOU include:
. Authorizing the City of San Diego have a veto over any decisions of the
governing entities
. Changing the scope of the governing structures to become more advisory in
nature
. The inclusion of a mutual indemnity provision
A comprehensive list of the proposed amendments contained in the revised MOU can be
found on attachment 2.
Council approval of the amended MOU for the RCIP is requested in order to enable the
City ofChula Vista's continued participation in this project and sharing of the benefits.

COMPUTER-AIDED-DISPATCH INTEROPERABILITY PROJECT (RCIP)
This Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") provides for the collaborative
development, implementation, and oversight of regional computer-aided-dispatch capabilities by
and among the participating agencies that have legally executed this MOU, described in the
attached Exhibit "A" (herein individually referred to as a "Party" and eollectively referred to as
the "Parties").
This MOU is not intended to create a Joint Powers Agreement or separate legal entity.
This MOU establishes a contractual relationship among the Parties. Other agreements which
relate to the subject matter of this MOU include, but may not be limited to, Urban Area Security
Initiative (UASI) grant year MOUs and Grant Assurances eaeh Party has with the City of San
Diego.
I. SCOPE
The scope of the Regional Computer-Aided-Dispatch Interoperability Project (RCIP) is
to provide for the collaborative development and implementation of interoperable
communications capabilities among local public safety agencies throughout the cities and
unincorporated areas of San Diego County, otherwise known as the San Diego Urban Area. The
San Diego Urban Area (SDUA) specifically includes the County of San Diego and the 18 cities
and unincorporated areas contained within the County of San Diego, which are as follows: The
City of Carlsbad, City of Chula Vista, City of Coronado, City of Del Mar, City of EI Cajon, City
of Encinitas, City of Escondido, City of Impcrial Beach, City of La Mesa, City of Lemon Grove,
City of National City, City of Oceanside, City of Poway, City of San Diego, City of San Marcos,
City of Santee, City of Solana Beach, City of Vista. In addition, the San Miguel Consolidated
Fire Protection District is serving as the Administrative Agent for the RCIP.
The San Diego Urban Area Working Group (SDUA WG) is a collaborative subcommittee
established by the San Diego County Unified Disaster Council that was formed to develop
strategies and implement action plans to increase preparedness, prevention, protection, response,
and recovery capabilities of all first responder agencies and the jurisdictions within the SDUA
from terrorist events and other natural or man-made hazards. The SDUA WG is a requirement to
receive Urban Area Security Initiative Funding under the U.S. Department of Homeland Security
Grant Program.
The RCIP enables collaboration, situational awareness and timely distribution of critical
incident information by providing a method for fire rescue, medical and law enforcement CAD
systems to manage and share data and resources during response incidents that afIect the region.
The RCIP has been designed for secure transport of real time public safety information. The
RCIP provides an organized method of coordinating regional public safety resources (law
enforcement, fire, medical) to reduce response time, increase personnel efficiency and increase
resource management to and from regional dispatch centers, and the field. It is recognized that

To accommodate the various benefit needs of City employees without added cost to the
City, staff recommends offering AFLAC as a voluntary insurance option. Employee
premium payments will be made through employee payroll deductions. AFLAC will
administer enrollment, billing reconciliation, claims processing and claims payment for the
City. Benefits will be paid directly to the employee.
Founded in 1955, American Family Life Assurance Company (AFLAC) currently has total
assets of over $76 billion. In 1958, AFLAC introduced an income protection insurance plan
for people diagnosed with cancer. Today, AFLAC policies include cancer, accident, short-
term disability, hospital confinement indemnity, life specified health event, dental, long-
term care and vision. Sample brochures describing the benefits of each insurance policy are
included in Attachment A. AFLAC has extensive experience working with the public
sector. The Deputy Sheriff's Association, City of San Diego, City of Escondido and City of
Los Angeles are some of their public sector clients.
Currently, Chula Vista Employee Association (CVEA) and Peace Officers Association
(POA) members have access to AFLAC via their unions. Staff recommends that the City
enter into an agreement with AFLAC to offer supplemental insurance to all benefited
employees, and that the City allows the premium be deducted on a pre-tax basis from
employee payroll. Initially, the following policies will be available to eligible City
employees: (1) Personal Accident Indemnity, (2) Personal Cancer Indemnity Plan, (3)
Specified Health Event Protection, (4) Hospital Confinement Indemnity, (5) Personal Long-
Term Care, and (6) Dental Basic. Premium rates will vary depending on the plan and level
of coverage an employee selects. The City will periodically evaluate the above policies and
determine if additional voluntary policies should be made available.
The scope of the work to be performed by AFLAC is outlined in the agreement between the
City of Chula Vista and AFLAC (Attachment B). The plan is to offer these options to
employees beginning January 1, 2010.
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 1 8704.2(a)(1) is not applicable to this decision.
CURRENT YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
AFLAC insurance policies are 100% employee-paid and are sold on a voluntary basis.
City will realize employment tax savings to the extent employees emoll in pre-tax
premmm programs.
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
AFLAC insurance policies are 100% employee-paid and are sold on a voluntary basis.
City will realize employment tax savings to the extent employees emoll in pre-tax
prenuum programs.

Understanding the Risk*
According to the American Cancer Society:
. In the United States, men have a little less than a 1-in-2 lifetime risk of developing cancer; for
women the risk is a little more than 1-;n-3.
. About 1,368,030 new cancer cases are expected to be diagnosed in 2004.
. Since 1990, over 18 million new cancer cases have been diagnosed.
As advances in cancer treatment continue, more and more people will survive:
. Approximately 9.6 million Americans with a history of cancer were alive in January 2000.
. The five-year relative survival rate for all cancers combined is 630/0.
The National Institutes of Health estimated the overall costs for cancer in the
year 2003 at $189.5 billion.
Although health insurance can help offset the costs of cancer treatment, you stlll may have to cover
deductibles and copayments on your own.
Additionally, cancer treatment can cause out-of-pocket expenses that aren't covered by traditional
health insurance:
. Travel
. Food
. Lodging
. Long-distance calls
. Child care
. Household help
M'eanwhile, living expenses such as car payments, mortgages or rent, and utility bills continue,
whether or not you are able to work. If a family member has to stop working to take care of you,
the loss of income may be doubled. AfJac helps provide an important safety net in fighting the
financial consequences of cancer that result beyond traditional health insurance.
Aflac's Persona! Cancer Ii'demnity Plan pays benefits directly to you, unless assigned.

When first diagnosed as chronically ill, you often have many
needs: specialized equipment for the homef occasional visits from
a home health aide, or special training for a family member to
provide assistance. You may even want the services of a care
coordinator. But, the costs for these items can add up-fast!
That's why Ailac's long.tenn care policy automatically provides
you a First-Occurrence Benefit!
First-Occurrence Benefit
Ai/ac will pay the First-Occurrence Benefit you select for each
covered person when first diagnosed as chronically ill. This
benefit is intended to assist the covered person with the
expenses associated with qualified long-term care services.
This benefit is payable only once per lifetime for each
covered person and will be paid in addition to any other
benefit in the policy.
Nursing Home Daily Benefit
Aflac wiff pay the Nursing Home Daily Benefit you select for
each day a covered person is confined and requires qualified
long-term care services in a nursing home. This benefit is
subject to the nursing home benefit period. Alzheimer's
facilities that are licensed as such by the state and that meet
the policy requirements will be covered.
Aifac will pay the Nursing Home Daily Benefit amount you
select to reserve a bed in a nursing home facility if a covered
person temporarily leaves the nursing home facility while
receiving qualified 10ng-tem1 care services. This benefit is
limited to a 21-day calendar year maximum per person.
Waiver of Premium Benefit
Ailac will waive, from month to month, any premium falling
due during the nmned insured's continued nursing home
confinement, after you have received Nursing I-lame Daily
Benefits for 60 consecutive days. When Nursing Home Daily
Benefits are no longer being paid, premium payments must be
resumed. Once premium payments are resumed any new
confinements must again satisfy the 60-day continued
confinement requirement for premiums to be waived.
Residential Care Daily Benefit
Ajlac will pay the charges incurred up to the Residential Care
Daily Benefit you select for each day a covered person is
confined and requires qualified long-term care services in a
residential care facility. This benefit is subject to the
residential care benefit period. This benefit includes facilities
licensed as hospice facilities and respite care. Facilities not
necessarily named as residential care facilities may be covered
if they meet the policy requirements.
The Nursing Home Daily Benefit, Residential Care Daily
Benefit, and Home Care Benefit will not be paid on the same
day. Only the highest eligible benefit will be paid.
Home Care Benefit
Aflac wif/ pay the charges incurred up to the Home Care Daily
Benefit amount you select for each visit during which a
covered person receives qualified long-tem1 care services for:
. Home Health Care
. Homemaker Services
. Personal Care
. Respite Care
. Hospice Services
. Adult Day Care
. Adult Foster Care
Multiple services received on the same day will be counted as
one visit; this benefit is limited to one visit per day.
Qualified long-tem1 care services are the necessary
diagnostic, preventive, therapeutic, curative, treatment,
mitigation and rehabilitative services, and maintenance or
personal care services that are required by a chronically ill
,individual. These services must be provided according to a
plan of care prescIibed by a licensed health care practitioner
(a physician, registered professional nurse, licensed social
worker, or other licensed individual) independent of the
insurer. The tenn licensed health care practitioner does not
include you, a member of your immediate family, or anyone
who normally resides in your home or residence.

1. Being unable to perform two or more activities of daily
living (ADLs) without substantial assistance for at least 90
days due to a loss of functional capacity or
2. Suffering from an impaimlent of cognitive ability that
requires substantial supervision for your protection from
threats to health and safety.
Activities of Daily Living (ADLs)
The activities of daily living are bathing, continence, dressing,
eating, toileting, and transferring. Please refer to the policy
for complete definitions.
Effective Date
The effective date of the policy is the date shovm in the Policy
Schedule. The effective date is not the date you signed the
application for coverage.
Pre-Existing Conditions
Subject to the truthful completion of your application, the
policy fully covers all health conditions that you may
presently have, subject to the terms of the policy, as of the
policy effective date shown in the Policy Schedule.
Renewal Provision
The policy is guaranteed-renewable for your lifetime. Aflac
may change the premium rate, but only if the rate is changed
for all policies of this class.
Contingent Benefit Upon Lapse
If your policy lapses, you may be eligible for a Contingent
Benefit that provides for your coverage to continue on a
limited basis. Please refer to your policy or outline of
coverage for further details.
The policy to which this sales material pertains is written
only in English; the policy prevails if interpretation of this
material vmies.
Limitations and Exclusions
The policy will not pay benefits for that portion of any expense
that is for services which are reimbursable under Medicare (or
would be so reimbursable but for the application of the
Medicare deductible or coinsurance amounts).
The policy does not cover any of the following:
services rendered by a member of your immediate family;
services for which a charge would not be made in the
absence of this insurance;
care rendered by a Veterans Administration or federal
government facility, unless you or your estate is charged for
such care;
being exposed to war or any act of war, declared or
undeclared, or service in any of the armed forces;
intentionally self-inflicted bodily injury or attempted
suicide (while sane or insane);
the treatment of alcoholism or drug addiction.
The policy will not pay benefits for care rendered outside the
United States or its possessions.
The benefits payable by the policy will not qualify for Medi-Cal
Asset Protection under the Califomia Partnership for Long-
Term Care.

facility; a personal care home; a hospice facility; a home for
the aged; a rest home; or a place primarily for domiciliary,
residential, or retirement living, or a similar establishment.
A physician does not include you, a member of your
immediate family, or anyone who normally resides in your
home or residence.
A home cannot be a hospital, a nursing home facility, a
residential care facility, or any other such type facility.

Buying Long-Term Care Insurance Today May Save You Money Tomorrow!
Long-term care coverage helps provide critical financial support if
a chronic condition incapacitates you or your spouse for an
extended time. Aj/aefs plan offers a choice of benefit packages
that include nursing homeJ residential care, and home health care
assistance as weff as afirst-occurrcnce cash payment.
The Cost and Need for Coverage Continue to Surge.
. Nationally, the average annual cost for a private room
(single occupant) in a nursing home is $70,912
(S194.28Jday). The average annual cost for a semiprivate
room (double occupancy) is 562,532 (5171.32/day).'
. Nationally, the average monthly cost for a private one-
bedroom unit in an assisted-living facility is $2,691.20
(532,294.40/year). The average hourly rate for a certified
home care provider is $36.22.1
. Doctors and hospitals are under tremendous pressure to get
patients out as quickly as possible. Patients often go to a
nursing home to continue the recovery period.
A Disability Knows No Age Limit!
An estimated ten million Americans need assistance from
others to carry out everyday activities.2 More important, long-
term care isn't just for the elderly and the retired; injuries can
incapacitate the young as well as the aged-sometimes with
longer-lasting implications.
Who Uses Long-Term Care?l
The
Elderly
Working-Age Adults
and Children
Why Buy Early?
. The need exists at any age.
. Capitalize on your current good health.
. Take advantage of lower age-based issue rates.
Buy at Your Current Age-and Save!
The cost difference between buying a long-term care policy
at age 50 compared to buying the same policy at age 65 is
substantial.

SUMMARY
On February 19, 2009, Public Works received a call fTom Mr. Han Su Taik, the owner of the
residence at 1526 Grand Teton Court that a large hole appeared at the rear yard of his property.
Public Warks staff responded immediately to secure the affected area amI to prevent any other
potential problems and ensure public safety. The sinkhole was caused by piping (the underground
movement of soil by water) of the fill soils surrounding an existing 18" RCP storm drain pipe that
runs within the property. In accordance with the emergency provisions of Section 1009 of the City
Charter, City staff contracted the services of Cass Construction, Inc. (General Engineering
Contractor License No. 298336) for the repair. The repair was completed on June I, 2009. An
Informational Item was submitted on February 27,2009 (Attachment I) with the plan to report back
to City Council after the filiI cost of the project was identified. This report represents the total
expenditures for the repair.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Environmental Review Coordinator has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with
the California Environmental Qlwlity Act (CEQA) and has determined, based on the evidence
presented, that the activity falls under the emergency project exemption for specific actions
necessary to prevent or mitigate an emergency, pursuant to Section 15269 (c) of the State CEQA
Guidelines. Thus, no further environmental review is necessary.

DISCUSSION
On Thursday, February 19, 2009, Public Works received a call trom Mr. Han Su Taik, the owner
of the single-family residence at 1526 Grand Teton Court that a large hole appeared at the rear
yard of his property, adjacent to a swimming pool. Public Works staff responded immediately to
secure the affected area and to evaluate the situation. During the evaluation of the site, staff
confirmed the presence of a 7 feet-wide by 7 feet-long by 10 feet-deep sinkhole directly over an
existing publicly owned 18" reinforced concrete pipe (RCP) storm drain. Public Works staff
immediately stabilized the site by placing temporary backfill and installing safety barricades
around the perimeter of the sinkhole.
In order to determine the extent of the repair and to obtain a precise construction bid estimate, a
geotechnical consultant (Ninyo & Moore), selected from the City's on-call consultant list, was
retained to perform soil testing, to assess geotechnical conditions, and to provide repair
recommendations. This report assisted the City and the contractor in determining the scope and
extent of the necessary repair and associated costs. Ninyo & Moore's report concluded that the
sinkholes along the western edge of the property were caused by groundwater piping of the fill
soils adjacent to the 18-inch RCP storm drain. This loss offill soils around the 18" RCP also led
to the separation of pipe joints, additional loss of soil, and tree root intrusion into the storm drain.
Ninyo & Moore's recommendation was to remove and replace the existing 18-inch storm drain
pipe and to repair the slope distress by removing the disturbed material and rebuilding the slope
with compacted fill, which included the use of a geo-grid reinforcing system, a keyway, and back
drains.
The Director of Public Works and the City Manager agreed with the recommendation of staff on
the necessity to proceed with the emergency repair due to the fact that if the slope and storm
drain were not repaired as soon as possible, the pool and the house could sustain additional,
unnecessary damage and could also threaten neighboring properties.
Contractor Selection Process
Staff prepared and solicited three informal bids from qualified contractors that have previously
worked for the City of Chula Vista. On April 7, 2009 the City received three proposals. The
Contractors were ranked as follows:
Contractor Proposal Amount Contractor Ranking
Cass Construction Co., Inc. $125,553.00 First Negotiation Preference
TC Construction Co., Inc. $198,435.00 Second Negotiation Preference
vVest Tech Contracting. $276,125.90 Third Negotiation Preference

Staff Costs
In addition to construction activities, staff time is also required for construction inspection,
geotechnical investigation and administrative staff. These staff components total $43,917.
DECISION MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council and has found no property holdings
within 500 feet of the property, which are the subject action.
CURRENT FISCAL IMPACT
There is no impact to the General Fund as there are sut1icient TransNet funds in the existing crr
DR180 (approved by City Council under the FY 2009-10 Capital Improvement Program)
necessary to fund the project. A breakdown of the project costs is as follows:

emd contract change orders)
Nin 0 & Moore Geotechnical Consultants
Ci ty Staff
Amount
$ 127,179.01
35,318.00
43,917.00
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
The improvement will require only routine City maintenance.

SUBJECT: Emergency Storm Drain and Slope Repair at 1526 Grand Teton Court
On Thursday, February 19,2009, Public Works received a call from Me. Han Su Taik, the owner of the
single-family residence at 1526 Grand Teton Court, that a large hole appeared at the rear yard of his
property, adjacent to a swimming pooL Public Works staff responded immediately to secure the affected
area and to evaluate the situation. During the evaluation of the site, staff confirmed the presence of a
T-wide by T-Iong by 10'-deep sinkhole and that it was directly over an existing publicly owned 18"
reinforced concrete pipe (RCP) storm drain. Public Works staff immediately stabilized the site by placing
temporary backfill and installing safety barricades around the perimeter of the sinkhole. The home is
currently vacant.
The 18" RCP extends from the curb line on Grand Teton Court through the side yard ofthe property and it
outlets at the toe of slope adjacent to an SDG&E transmission easement, as shown on the attached plat. At
this point, it is not known what caused the sinkhole. A geotechnical consultant (Ninyo & Moore) is
studying the problem and will identify the cause of the sinkhole and provide detailed
recommendations/plans to restore the storm drain, slope, and property. Restoration work will be
implemented as soon as possible. Ninyo & Moore's recommendations will assist the City and the City's
Contractor to determine the repair area and associated costs.
City staff has taken all possible precautions to ensure the temporarv safetv for the property and its
residents during this pre-repair period. However, because we are still in the rainy season, staff believes
that if the repair is not .performed as soon as possible, the property could sustain additional and
unnecessary damage. Therefore, the Public Works Department believes it is important to complete all
repair and restoration work immediately. Staff intends to enter into an emergency repair contract in
accordance with the emergency provision of Section 1009 of the City Charter based upon the necessity to
preserve life, health, and property. Upon receiving and concurring with Ninyo & Moore's
recommendations, City staff will solicit three bids from responsible Contractors that have previously
worked for the City and have performed similar type work satisfactorily.
The preliminary, estimated cost for this repair is $150,000. This estimate includes the geotechnical
recommendations report, construction repairs. and City staff costs. Staff will be using the General Fund
Reserves to undertake this work as no other funding sources are available at this time. Staff will return to
Council with a full report as soon as the repair has been completed.

The approved operating budget for the Chula Vista Nature Center (CVNC) for FY09/10
includes no revenue, and limited funding on the expenditure side. Through an agreement
reached with the Friends of the Chula Vista Nature Center (Friends) subsequent to the
budget process, the facility has and is continuing to operate at full capacity, generating un-
budgeted revenue. This appropriation of $163,400 of the unanticipated revenue will
partially offset projected over-expenditures attributed to the cost of full operations.
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, acceptance of a report and approval of an
appropriation, 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 l5060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines the activity is not subject
to CEQA. Thus, no environmental review is necessary.

DISCUSSION
On April 28, 2009, City Council approved resolution # 2009-098, which authorized staff to
pursue a public-private partnership with the Friends of the Chula Vista Nahlre Center for
operation and management of the CVNC. The resolution also included two conceptual
funding scenarios for the CVNC for FY 09/10, one that provided funding to essentially
maintain full operations with some offsetting revenue, and the other that provided only
minimal funding for bare-bones operations, with no offsetting revenue. Both funding
scenarios stipulated some level of financial support from the Friends. The FY09/10 budget
was subsequently approved at the lower (minimal) funding level with no revenue
anticipated, which required a significant fi.mding commitment from the Friends in order to
maintain operations at the facility.
On June 18,2009, the City and the Friends entered into an interim agreement (Attachment
"A") that identified sources of funding that would enable the City to continue to operate the
CVNC at full capacity for the first half of the fiscal year. The agreement also specified the
order in which various funding sources would be utilized, with unanticipated revenue at the
top of the list.
This appropriation represents compliance with those stipulations, since the unanticipated
revenue will offset some expenditures that have already occurred, or will occur in the near
future.
It is likely that an additional appropriation will be requested later in the year, to further offset
operational costs that the City will incur. The appropriation will include additional revenue
generated, and will likely tap funds that are currently on deposit with the City from several
donors, including the Friends. No appropriation of general fund money is anticipated.
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
The CVNC expenditure budget for the current fiscal year is $218,000. No revenue is
budgeted. As of October 7, 2009, a total of$271,560 has been expended for operations
of the facility, including personnel costs. The expenditure total includes funds that have
been "encumbered" in purchase order agreements with various vendors. As of the same
date, a total of$163,400 has been generated in revenue at the facility. This revenue was
unanticipated in the budget, and will be used to help offset expenditures created by full
operations at the CVNC.
The appropriation of S 163,400 in unanticipated revenues will offset some of the
expenditures, but an additional appropriation will be required late in the year. The
subsequent appropriation will include additional revenue generated, and will likely tap
funds that are currently on deposit with the City from several donors. No appropriation of
general fund reserves are anticipated.

partnership with Friends for operation and management of the CVNC; and
WHEREAS, the approved operating budget for the CVNC for Fiscal Year 2009/2010
includes no revenue, and limited funding on the expenditure side; and
WHEREAS, both funding scenanos stipulated some level of financial support from
Friends; and
WHEREAS, the Fiscal Year 2009/2010 budget was subsequently approved at the lower
(minimal) funding level with no revenue anticipated, which required a signiIicant ti.mding
commitment from Friends in order to maintain operations at the facility; and
WHEREAS, on June 18,2009, the City and Friends entered into an Interim Agreement
that identified sources of funding and the order in which the funding would be used to enable the
City to continue to operate the CVNC at full capacity for the first half of the fiscal year; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Interim Agreement, unanticipated revenue was to be used
prior to other funds; and
WHEREAS, since entering into the Interim Agreement, the CVNC has continued and is
continuing to operate at full capacity, generating such unanticipated, unbudgeted revenue; and
WHEREAS, this appropriation of $ I 63,400 is necessary to comply with the conditions of
the Interim Agreement, as it will partially offset over-expenditures, which are attributable to the
cost of full operations, that have already been made or are projected in the near future; and
WHEREAS, it is likely that an additional appropriation will be requested later in the year,
to further offset operational costs that the City will incur; and
WHEREAS, the additional appropriation will likely tap funds that are currently on
deposit with the City from several donors, including Friends.

SUMMARY
On July 28, 2009, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger signed the 2009-2010 California State
Budget, pursuant to which cities, counties, and special districts will be required to lend property
tax revenues to the State, with the promise ofrepayment in three years.
As part of the Budget package, local governments have the opportunity to receive the monies
being borrowed by the State upfront through a securitization tinancing oUered by California
Communities, a joint powers authority sponsored by the League of California Cities and
California State Association of Counties. California Communities will issue bonds securitizing
the future payments by the State and remit the proceeds of the bonds to the local governments
who opt to participate in the securitization. The State will then repay the bondholders, to payoff
the outstanding bonds including interest costs. All costs of the bond issuance will be paid by the
State resulting in no costs to the City

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Envirorunental Review Coordinator has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with the
California Envirorunental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that granting authorization to
participate in the bond issuance is not a "Project" as defined under Section 15378 of the State
CEQA Guidelines because it will not result in a physical change to the envirorunent; therefore,
pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines the actions proposed are not subject
to CEQA.

BOARDS/COMMISSION RECOMMENDA nON
Not Applicable
DISCUSSION
The City of Chula Vista has reduced its General Fund operating budget by more than $37
million; from $170.1 million in FY 2006-07 to an adopted balanced budget in FY 2009-10 of
$132.8 million. The budget cuts have been substantial and have included layoffs, expenditure
cuts in every City Department and an overall reduction in City staffing levels from 1,263.75 to
1,005 employees. In addition to the budgetary cuts, there has been a hiring freeze and
administrative freeze imposed by the City Manager on non-essential spending in the two
previous fiscal years in an effort to preserVe the City's General Fund reserve level.
Unfortunately, the State has been unable to structurally balance its budget and is again taking
local revenues.
The State passed legislation on July 24, 2009 to borrow 8% of Prop IA property tax revenues
and take Redevelopment Agency tax increment revenues in order to balance their budget. The
impacts to the City of Chula Vista in fiscal year 2009-10 total $8.5 million composed of $4.3
million of property tax revenue and $4.2 million of Redevelopment Agency tax increment
revenue.

The subject of this staff report is to address mitigating the impacts of the State's Prop IA
borrowing by participating in the California Communities Prop IA securitization that will
provide the City with 100% of the borrowed funds with no additional costs incurred as a result of
the bond issuance. The State will pay for all costs of issuance as written in to the Prop IA
enabling legislation. Mitigating the impacts to the RDA will be brought forward for

Item dated August 6, 2009.
DECISION MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and has deternlined that it is not site
specific and consequently the 500 foot rule found in California Code of Regulations section
18704.2(a)(I) is not applicable to this decision.
CURRENT YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact to the General Fund by participating in the secuntIzation program
offered through California Communities. The State will pay for all costs of issuance as written
in to the Prop IA enabling legislation. By participating in the program, the City can avoid
impacting the General Fund reserves by $4.3 million in the current fiscal year and/or avoid
additional service impacts.
Mitigating the impacts to the RDA will be brought forward for consideration when all options
are known and available as discussed in the Council Information Item dated August 6, 2009.
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
There is no anticipated ongoing tlscal impact by approving this action.

Re: Sale of Proposition IA Receivable
Ladies & Gentlemen:
[I have/This Office has] acted as counsel for the Pi'\y,'gfGl'l1i1&pjJtii (the "Seller")
in connection with the adoption of that celtain resolution (the "Resolution") of the QjW1<;!,ojl'iiS!]
of the Seller (the "Governing Body") pursuant to which the Seller authorized the sale to the
California Statewide Communities Development Authority (the "Purchaser") of the Seller's
"Proposition lA Receivable", as defined in and pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement
dated as of November I, 2009 (the "Sale Agreement") between the Seller and the Purchaser. In
connection with these transactions, the Seller has issued certain Irrevocable Instructions For
Disbursement of the SelJer's Proposition lA Receivable to the Controller of the State of
California (the "Disbursement Instructions") and a Bill of Sale and Bringdown Certificate of the
Seller (the "Bill of Sale" and, collectively with the Sale Agreement and the Disbursement
Instructions, the "Seller Documents").
Unless the context otherwise requires, capitalized terms used but not otherwise
defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Sale Agreement. [VWe] have
examined and are familiar with the Seller Documents and with those documents relating to the
existence, organization, and operation of the Seller, the adoption of the Resolution, and the
execution of the Seller Documents, and have satisfied ourselves as to such other matters as [Vwe]
deem necessary in order to render the following opinions. As to paragraphs numbered 3 and 4
below, [Vwe] have relied as to factual matters on the representations and warranties of the Seller
contained in the Sale Agreement.
Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the limitations and qualifications set
forth herein, [I/we] are of the opinion that:
BI-I
8-26
1. The Seller is a local agency, within the meaning of Section 6585(1) of the
California Government Code. The Governing Body is the governing body of the Seller.
2. The Resolution was duly adopted at a meeting of the Governing Body,
which was called and held pursuant to law and with all public notice required by law, and at
which a quorum was present and acting throughout, and the Resolution is in full force and effect
and has not been modified, amended or rescinded since the date of its adoption.
3. To the best of [my/our] knowledge, no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or
investigation, at law or in equity, before or by any court, public board or body, is pending or
threatened in any way against the Seller (i) affecting the existence of the Seller or the titles of its
Governing Body members or officers to their respective offices; (ii) seeking to restrain or to
enjoin the sale of the Proposition lA Receivable or to direct the application of the proceeds of
the sale thereof, or materially adversely affecting the sale of the Proposition IA Receivable; (iii)
in any way contesting or affecting the validity or enforceability of the Resolution, Seller
Documents or any other applicable agreements or any action of the Seller contemplated by any
of said documents; or (iv) in any way contesting the powers of the Seller or its authority with
respect to the Resolution or the Seller Documents or any other applicable agreement, or any
action on the part of the Seller contemplated by any of said documents.
4. To the best of [my/our] knowledge, prior to the sale of the Proposition lA
Receivable to the Purchaser, the Seller had not sold, transferred, assigned, set over or otherwise
conveyed any right, title or interest of any kind whatsoever in all or any portion of the Seller's
Proposition lA Receivable, nor had the Seller created, or permitted the creation of, any Lien
thereon.
5. The Seller has duly authorized and executed the Seller Documents and,
assuming the due authorization execution and delivery of the Sale Agreement by the Purchaser,
each Seller Document will be legal, valid and binding against the Seller and enforceable against
the Seller in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium or laws relating to or affecting
creditors' rights, and the application of equitable principles and the exercise of judicial discretion
in appropriate areas.
No opinion is expressed concerning the obligation or ability of the State of
California to make any payment of the Proposition lA Receivable pursuant to Section 100.06 of
the Revenue and Taxation Code and Section 25.5 of Article XIII of the California Constitution,
nor is any opinion expressed with respect to the ability of the State to enact any change in the
law applicable to the Seller Documents (including, without limitation, Section 100.06 of the
Revenue and Taxation Code or Section 6588.6 of the Government Code). Furthermore, [I/we]
express no opinion as to the value of the Proposition lA Receivable or as to any legal or
equitable remedies that may be available to any person should the Proposition IA Receivable
have little or no value. No opinion is expressed with respect to the sale of Bonds by the
Purchaser.

PROPOSITION lA SECURITIZATION
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: What is Proposition lA securitization?
A: On July 28, 2009, the California legislature and Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger
passed the state budget and approved a provision allowing the state to borrow 8
percent of the amount of property tax revenue apportioned to cities, counties and
special districts. Under the provision, the state will be required to repay those
obligations by June 30, 2013.
The provision also created an option for California local public agencies to relieve the
burden of loaning the state property tax revenues. The provision, called Proposition 1A
Securitization, authorizes the California Statewide Communities Development
Authority ("California Communities") to purchase the receivable due to local agencies
from the State.
Q: Who is the California Statewide Communities Development Authority?
A: The California Statewide Communities Development Authority is a joint powers
authority ("JPA") sponsored by the California State Association of Counties ("CSAC")
and the League of California Cities ("League"). California Communities was created by
CSAC and the League in 1988 to enable local government and eligible private entities
access to low-cost, financing through a variety of pooled and stand-alone finance
programs.
Q: How does the Proposition lA securitization work?
1
8-38
A: The legislation for the Proposition lA securitization authorizes cities, counties, and
special districts to sell their state repayment obligations to California Communities. In
a simultaneous transaction, California Communities will issue bonds and remit the cash
proceeds to the participating local public agencies. Bondholders will receive their
repayment from the state at a later date. The legislation provides that local agencies
participating in the securitization program will receive 100% of their respective
Proposition lA receivables.
Q: Do I need to become a member of California Communities to participate in the
program?
A: No. All public agencies that are subject to the property tax diversion under Proposition
lA are eligible to participate in the program without having to join the California
Communities IPA.
Q: Is securitization voluntary? What if our local agency chooses not to securitize?
A: Yes, this is a voluntary program. Public agencies that do not participate in the
Proposition lA Securitization Program can expect to receive repayment plus interest
from the state for its obligations by June 30, 2013. The interest rate to be paid by the
state to those local public agencies that do not securitize has been set by the Director of
Finance at 2.0%.
Q: How much will it cost our local agency to participate in the Proposition lA
Securitization Program?
A: All costs of issuance and interest expense will be paid by the state. This allows agencies
to receive 100% of their receivables. Some agencies may incur legal costs if they use an
outside attorney for normal legal services.
Q: If our local agency securitizes, will we still get the repayment interest from the
state?
A: No. In the case of securitization, the state will pay the interest due to bondholders and
issuance costs associated with the transaction. Only agencies that do not securitize will
receive interest from the state in 2013.
Q: If my local agency participates in the securitization program, when can my
agency expect to receive payment?
A: Depending upon timing of enactment of cleanup legislation in the California legislature,
California Communities is targeting completion of the securitization transaction to
occur in November or early December, 2009, which would result in 50% of the payment
to participating local public agencies on January 15, 2010 and 50% on May 3, 2010.
Should the legislature not pass the anticipated legislative amendments, California
Communities' next opportunity to securitize will likely be March, 2010.
2
8-39
Q: Will our local agency incur any liability by participating in the program?
A: No. The bonds issued by California Communities are not obligations of any of the local
agencies that participate in the securitization program. The California Communities
joint powers agreement expressly provides that California Communities is an entity
separate and apart from the participating public agencies, and "its debts, liabilities and
obligations do not constitute debts, liabilities or obligations of any party to the joint
powers agreement." Participating public agencies are not responsible for any
repayment of debt, nor are they named in any of the bond documents. Participating
public agencies also will not have any obligations related to compliance with tax or
disclosure obligations on the bonds.
Q: Are there any restrictions to joining?
A: No. California Communities is required to accept any local entity affected by the
suspension, regardless of the amount of property tax revenue lost.
Q: Can redevelopment agencies participate?
A. No. The diversion of tax increment revenues from redevelopment agencies that was a
part of the State budget is not a "loan" and was not done under Proposition 1A and
therefore redevelopment agencies cannot participate.
Q: Has California Communities conducted a program like this before?
A: Yes. In 2005, California Communities conducted a similar bond securitization program
for local agencies when the state borrowed Vehicle License Fee ("VLF") revenues from
cities and counties. California Communities securitized $455 million in VLF payments
due from the state to provide advance repayment to 146 participating cities and
counties.
Q: How is the Proposition lA securitization different from the VLF "gap loan"
securitization?
A: Under the VLF financing program in 2005, local agencies in California were required to
cover the costs of issuance and pay the interest cost. As a result, local agencies only
received on average about 93 cents on the dollar from their loans to the state. Under
the proposed Proposition 1A Securitization Program, the state will pay for the
borrowing interest incurred and the costs of issuance required for each agency to
participate, allowing local agencies the ability to receive 100% of their receivables.

Q: What is required from our local agency to participate?
A: Participating agencies must enroll in the program by going to the online Enrollment
Form hosted on the California Communities website www.cacommunities.org/proD1A.
Enrolled agencies will received the required documentation from transaction counsel
(Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe) including a resolution that must be adopted by their
governing board. The resolution authorizes the sale of the Proposition lA receivables
to California Communities. This resolution together with other signature documents
and local agency legal opinions must be submitted no later than November 6, 2009.
Q: What is the deadline to participate in the Proposition lA Securitization Program?
A: Completed applications including resolutions passed by the board/council, participant
documents signed by the authorized parties and legal opinions must be submitted by
November 6, 2009.
Q: When should I begin the application process?
A: It is best to begin the application process as soon as possible. Each local agency is not
committed to the program until all executed documentation is returned to bond counsel
prior to November 6,2009. So, it is best to begin the process early and have all the
relevant documentation prepared.
Q: What if I start the process and decide I don't want to participate? Can I pull out of
the process half-way through?
A: Each local agency is not committed until they return executed documents to bond
counsel on or prior to November 6, 2009. Signed documents will be held in escrow by
bond counsel and can be withdrawn prior to November 6, 2009. After November 6,
2009, agencies that have submitted the required signed documentation are committed
to the transaction.
Q: Will our local agency have to go through a credit rating process? How will the
credit rating for these bonds be assessed?
A: No. The bonds are secured by the State of California's constitutional and statutory
obligation to repay the loan within the three-year time period. The ratings on the
bonds will be determined by the rating agencies based upon their assessment of the
credit worthiness of the transaction and the state's ability to pay.
4
8-41
Q: Are there other ways to securitize aside from the California Communities
program?
A: California Communities offers the only pooled Proposition lA securitization progra"m
and is the only statutorily-authorized option that allows local agencies to securitize and
have bond issuance and interest costs paid by the state.
Q: Where can I get more information?
A: For more information on the Proposition lA securitization program, go to
Www.cacommunities.or\l/proplA.
Q: How can I sign up for the Program?
A: To enroll in the program, submit the online Enrollment Form hosted on the California
Communities website www.cacommunities.org/proplA. There is no obligation on
behalf of an enrolled local agency to actually participate. Each enrolled local agency
must submit a complete set of signed documents with legal opinions by November 6,
2009 in order to be committed to the securitization program.
Q: There are several special districts in our County with board members that are the
same as the County Board of Supervisors. Does each special district need to
enroll in the program, adopt the Sale Resolution and sign documentation?
A: Yes. Each local agency must adopt the Sale Resolution. sign the Purchase and Sale
Agreement and provide the required signature documents and legal opinions to
participate in the Program.
Q: Can the Resolution approving the form of Purchase and Sale Agreement be placed
on the consent calendar or does it need to be a separate item on the board's
agenda?
A: The Resolution may be approved on the consent calendar.
II
OPTIONS TO THE PROPOSITION lA SECURITIZATION
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: What are my local agency's options other than participating in the Prop lA loan
securitization program?
A: There are a few options to securitization.
5
8-42
1. If a local agency can absorb the loss in property tax revenue this year, it can decide
to wait for the State to repay the obligation by June 30, 2013.
2. Two or more local agencies are able to reallocate or sell the obligation to another
local agency.
3. Local agencies can apply for a hardship exemption. If cleanup legislation is enacted,
local agencies must first enroll in and fulfill the requirements of the securitization
program in order to qualify for a hardship exemption.
Q: What is a hardship exemption?
A: For those local agencies experiencing extreme fiscal hardship, upon written request, the
Director of Finance may decrease the reduction amount. Extreme fiscal hardship may
include a local agency that:
. is in bankruptcy proceedings;
. may be required to seek bankruptcy protection as a result of the reduction in
property tax revenue;
. does not have sufficient reserves to continue to provide a basic level of core
services.
If the Director of Finance decreases a local agency's reduction as a result of hardship,
the amount of the decrease will be allocated proportionately among other local
agencies within the county, not to exceed more than 10 percent of the total reduction
amounts for all local agencies within the county.
Q: How does my local agency apply for a hardship exemption?
A: The final hardship application procedures have not been established and are not
expected to be established until after the cleanup legislation is enacted by the
legislature. While current language is expected to change, current language states that
a written request must be received by the Director of Finance by October 15, 2009. The
Director of Finance must approve or reject the requests for a hardship exemption by
November 15, 2009. The Director of Finance may not grant decreases in the suspension
amount that totals more than 10 percent of the combined total shift of property ta.x per
county. Local agencies that believe they would qualify for a hardship exemption
should prepare to file a request with the State Director of Finance by October 15,
2009. If the cleanup legislation passes, this deadline may be extended, but under
current law October 15 is the deadline.
Q: What can I expect to happen ifmy local agency does not participate in the
California Communities Proposition lA Securitization Program?
A: If your local agency can sustain an 8 percent property tax shift this year, and your local
agency chooses not to participate in California Communities' loan securitization
program, then the local agency can expect to be repaid directly from the state by June
30, 2013, with interest.
6
8-43
Q: What is the interest rate for those entities that choose not to participate in the
Prop lA loan securitization program?
A: The interest rate has been determined by the State Director of Finance to be 2.0%.
Q: Are there other options?
A: If the cleanup legislation passes, a local agency may be able to sell the receivable to
another local agency.
Q. How would a local agency sell its Prop lA Receivable to another local agency?
A: The cleanup legislation is expected to provide procedures for local agencies to sell
Proposition lA receivables to another local agency. The cleanup legislation is currently
pending approval by the State Senate.
III
PROPOSITION lA SUSPENSION
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: When will we see the reduction in our property tax revenues?
A: You will see a reduction in your property tax revenues when you receive your property
taxes as dispersed by the county auditor. The county auditor is required to shift the 8
percent property tax revenue in two installments, once before January 15, 2010, and
again after the first transfer but no later than May 3, 2010.
Q: When is the state required to repay the "loan"?
A: ABX4 15 indicates the state's deadline to repay the loan is June 30, 2013.
Q: And at what interest rate on the "loan"?
A: The interest rate for those agencies that do not sell the receivable to the joint powers
authority has been set by the Director of Finance at 2.0%.
Q: Are there any guarantees that the state will repay us?
A: The State Constitution requires that the state provide repayment within a three-year
period. ABX4 15 sets the repayment deadline at June 30, 2013.
7
8-44
The repayment is also continuously appropriated in the General Fund and authorizes
the State Controller to make the repayment. The repayment is a priority payment
behind General Fund obligations to schools and general obligation bonds. If the state
has not fully repaid local agencies by June 30, 2013, local agencies or the bond issuer
may seek a writ of mandamus to compel the Controller to fully pay the amounts the
state is obligated to pay. The petition for writ of mandamus has priority and preference
in setting and review and may be filed in the California Supreme Court.
Q: Will next year's property ta.xes (2010-11) be affected by this year's Prop lA
suspension?
A: It is highly unlikely that the Prop 1A protection of2010-11 property taxes could be
suspended. The State Constitution indicates that the property tax protection provisions
of Proposition 1A cannot be suspended more than twice in a 10-year period (the first
year begins with the first suspension).
Further, the state cannot suspend Proposition 1A until all previous loans are paid in full.

Proposition 1A (2004) Facts
In November 2004, the voters of California approved Proposition lA, an amendment to the
California state constitution intended to restore predictability and stability to local government budgets.
The measure:
o Strengthens prohibitions against unfunded state mandates by requiring the state to suspend
state mandates in any year the Legislature does not fully fund those laws.
o Expands definition of state mandate to include transfer of responsibility of a program for
which the state previously had full or partial responsibility.
o Prohibits the state from
.
Reducing the local Bradley Burns Uniform Sales & Use Ti", rate or altering its method
of allocation. Exception to comply \vith federal 1:1\\7 or an interstate compact.
Decreasing VLF revenue from the 0.65% rate without providing replacement funding
to cities and counties.
.
Shifting property taxes from cities, counties or special districts with certain
exceptions.
. Failing to reimburse to cities and counties for the 1/.;0/0 local sales tax shifted under the
triple flip.
State Mandate Funding
.
Proposition lA requires the Legislature:
o to either suspend a mandate or appropriate the necessary funds in the budget to reimburse
local governments for all costs of complying with the mandate, including those in prior years;
o to reimburse local governments when the state mandates that local government assume a
greater percentage of the financial responsibility for a program or service previously shared
with the state; and
o to begin repaying amounts owed to local governments for mandate costs incurred prior to FY
2004-05.
Proposition lA does not apply to mandates affecting local schools or mandates related to
employee relations and collective bargaining:
Local Revenue Protection
Proposition lA protects local property tax, sales tax and VLF revenues by prohibiting the
Legislature from taking any action that would:
o Reduce the local Bradley Burns Uniform Sales & Use Tax rate or alter its method of
allocation.
o Decrease VLF revenue froln the 0.650/0 rate "\vithout providing replacelnent funding to cities
and counties.

local government function except under certain circumstances.
Sales and Use Tax Rate and Allocation Method. Generally, revenue from the 1 %
Bradley Burns Local Sales and Use Tax is allocated to the city in which the sale occurs, or, if in an
unincorporated area, the county Proposition lA prohibits the Legislature from reducing the local sales
rax rate, or changing the method of allocation of local sales tax revenues. Proposition lA permits the
Legislature to change the method of allocation in order to comply with federal law or an inter-state
compact.
Local Transactions and Use Tax Authority. Proposition lA prohibits the state from
restricting the authority of a local government to impose a transactions and use tax pursuant to
Revenue and T.nation code Section 7251 or altering the method of allocation of these tax revenues.
Local Sales Tax Reduction Under the Proposition 57 Triple Flip. In March
2004, the voters of California approved Proposition 57, the California Economic Recovery Bond Act.
Legislative provisions implementing Proposition 57 provide for a swapping of 'j, cent to be used by the
state to repay the bonds effective July 1, 2004. The so called "triple flip" consists of 1) reducing the
Bradley Burns Local Sales and Use Tax Rate by 'j,% and 'j,% to the state's sales tax rate to fund fiscal
recovery bond repayment, 2) repayment to cities and counties with additional local property tax
previously allocated to local schools, and 3) repayment to local schools with state general fund.
Proposition 1A prohibits the Legislature from extending this reduction in local authority to impose the
full Bradley Burns Sales and use tax rate beyond the period necessary to repay the Proposition 57 bonds.
In addition, it constitutionally protects the reimbursement to cities and counties under the triple flip.
Vehicle License Fee. Proposition 1A requires the Legislature to provide replacement
revenue to cities and counties if it reduces the VLF rate below 0.650/0. California Constitution Article
XI Section 15 requires that VLF revenue be allocated to cities and counties. The state may charge for
administrative coStS (Dl'vlV, Controller) and the Legislature retains the power to change srate law
allocating the VLF among cities and counties.
Property Tax. Proposition lA prohibits the Legislature from reducing the share of property
tax revenues going to the cities, county and special districts in any county, and shifting those shares to
the schools or any other non-local go,-ernment function. However, the Legislature may alter the
allocation of property taxes among cities, counties and special districts within a county with 2/3
approval in each house.
Under specific conditions, the Legislature may suspend the property tax revenue protection
provisions of Proposition 1 A. Beginning in FY2008-09, the Legislature may "borrow" not more than
8% of total property tax revenues (currently about $2 Billion) if:
1. the Governor issues a proclamation of "severe fiscal hardship;"
2. the Legislature enacts an urgency statute suspending Proposition 1A property tax
protection with 2/3 vote of each house; and
3. the Legislature enacts a law providing for full repayment of the "borrowed funds" plus
interest within three years.
The Legislature may not enact such a suspension more than twice in any ten year period and may
only do so if:
1. the $1.22 billion FY 2003-04 VLF Backfill Gap Loan (Revenue and Taxation Code Sec.
10754.11) has been repaid;

Updated December 2007
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What's the basic protection for the property tax in Proposition 1A?
Proposition lA prevents the Legislature from reducing the combined property tax shares of cities, special districts, and
the count}~ and shifting those shares to the schools or any other non-local govemment function. If, for example, on November
3, 2004, the property ta.." shares of cities, special districts, and the counry of the hypothetical "California County" equaled 60%
of property ta..xes collected in that county, the Legislature cannot pass a law that reduces the percentage below 60% except to
respond to a significant state 6scal problem.
2. Can the Legislature continue to reallocate property taxes on the local level?
Since the passage of Proposition 13, the Legislature has had the power to reallocate property ta..xes among local
governments. The most signi6cant use of this authority has been to allocate city, county and special district shares of the
property tax to schools through ER..\F and reduce state general fund support for schools. Proposition lA would prevent
future reductions of non-school property tax shares, bur the State may transfer property taxes among the cities, county, and
special districts in a county with a declaration by the Governor of "sever fiscal hardship" and a 2/3 vote of each house of the
State LegisbtUl.e.
3. Can the state reallocate property taxes in order to fund a state mandate?
No. The amendments to Section 6 of Article XIII B of the state constitution state specifically: "Ad valorem property
tax revenues shall not be used to reimburse a local government for the costs of a new progr::un or higher level of services."
4. Does Proposition 1A allow the State to respond to a significant state fiscal problem?
Yes. Beginf'ing in the 2008-2009 fiscal year, the Governor may issue a proclamation that declares that there is a
"severe state fiscal hardship" that requires the State to temporarily suspend Proposition lA's basic protection for the property
ta..". Next. the Legislature must first adopt a statute with a 2/3 vote that contains a suspension of the basic protection for
that fiscal year only. Then it must adopt a separate statute that requires the State to repay cities, counties, and special districts
the total amount of propelty tax loss caused by the suspension. The Legislature may not enact such a suspension more than
tvJ'ice in any ten year period and may only do so if the FY 2003-04 VLF Backfill Gap Loan ($1.22 billion) and any previous
borrowing under trus provision has been repaid. TIle reduction may not exceed 8 percent of the total amount of property tax
allocated among local agencies in the previous fiscal year. Currently this percentage is the equivalent of roughly $1.3 billion.
5. When will local agencies be repaid if property tax is taken during a suspension period?
No later than the end of the third fiscal year following the fiscal year to which the reduction applies. If the reduction
applies in the 2010 11 fiscal year, then repayment must Occur no later than June 30 of 2014. Repayment will be for the "total
amount of revenue losses" including interest.
6. Can the Legislature suspend the Proposition 1A protection each time there is a "severe
state fiscal hardship?"
No. Suspension of the protection may only occur (\I....ice in a ten year period; and only if the VLF Gap Loan amount
has been repaid; and if only any priur suspension of property tax has been repaid with interest.
7. Why was the redevelopment property tax increment not explicitly protected in the final
version of Proposition 1A submitted to the voters?
Key legislators and legislative staff argued that the redevelopment property tax increment is already protected by Article
16, Section 16 of the state constitution. Language in the ballot arguments for Proposition 1A states that the redevelopment
increment is ah.eady protected by the state constitution.
8. What's the basic protection for the sales and use tax in Proposition 1A?
8-49
Proposition 1A Facts
-J-
Updated December 2007
Proposition LA prohibits the State from reducing the sales and use tax rate or changing the method in which sales
and use ta..'\: revenues are distributed. TI,e measure prevents the state from restricting city or county authority to impose
optional transacrions and use ta..\:es as provided in state law as of November 3, 2004.
9. What about the current suspension of one-quarter cent of the sales tax occurring as a
result of the passage of Proposition 57? Does Proposition 1A require the suspension to end
when the fiscal recovery bonds art:: repaid?
Yes. Proposirion 1:\ prevents the State from extending (he period during \\7 hich the one-quarter cent is suspended;
from failing to pay the property ta..\: backfill during the period of suspension; and from failing to restore the full sales ta.."<: rate
w hen the bonds are repaid.
10. Can the State take any action that affects the sales and use tax?
Yes. The Legislature can chang:: how sales tax is distributed if the change is required by federal law or to participate
in an interstate agreement, for example, one that addresses payment of sales ta.." for Internet purchases. In addition, the
Legislarure has the authority to authorize !\V'O or more local agencies within a county to exchange property ta.", and sales tax.
11. \Vhat is the basic protection for the VLF in Proposition 1A?
Proposition 1A guarantees VLF revenue to cities and counties based upon a rate of 0.65%. The Legislarure decides
how much of the revenue funds realignment programs and how much funds general purpose local government programs. If
the Legislarure lowers the rate below 0.65%, it must enact a llW that provides for an allocation of replacement funds to cities
and counties equal to the difference bet\Veen the revenues received from 0.65% nte and the lower rate.
12. Does Proposition 1A strengthen the requirement to reimburse cities, counties and special
districts for the costs of state-mandated programs and services?
Yes. Prior to the passage of Proposition lA, the Constirution required the State to reirnburse local governments for
state.mandated programs, but the Legislarure sometimes "suspended" mandates, rather than reimbursing local governments.
Moreover, the Legislarure has transferred additional responsibility for a state program or service to local governments but has
not reimbursed local governments for the additional program costs. Under Proposition lA, beginning in 2005-06, in each fiscal
year's budget, the Legislature must either appropriate sufficient funds to reimburse local governments for their costs of
complying with a mandate, including those in prior years, or suspend the operation of the mandate for that fiscal year.
13. Does the "fund or suspend" requirement apply to all mandates?
No. There are two exceptions. The first is for employee and employee organization related mandates. The second is
for costs incurred prior to the 2004-05 fiscal year that have not been paid prior to the 2005-06 fiscal year. These costs may be
paid over a period beginning in 2005.06.
14. What happens when the State transfers additional responsibility for a program or a
service that the local government already had some responsibility for?
Proposition 1:\ defines "mandate" to include a toosfer of additional responsibility for a state program or sef'\,.ice.

Honorable Mayor and City Council
VIA:
Jim Sandoval, City Manager
FROM:
Maria Kachadoorian, Director of Finance/Treasurer
SUBJECT:
Fiscal Year 2009-10 State Budget Impacts to the City ofChula Vista
The City of Chula Vista has reduced its General Fund operating budget by more than $37
million; from $170.1 million in FY 2006-07 to an adopted balanced budget in FY 2009-10 of
$132.8 million. The budget cuts have been substantial and have included layoffs, expenditure
cuts in every City Department and an overall reduction in City staffing levels from 1,263.75 to
1,005 employees. In addition to the budgetary cuts, there has been a hiring freeze and
administrative freeze imposed by the City Manager on non-essential spending in the two
previous fiscal years in an effort to preserve the City's General Fund reserve level.
Unfortunately, the State has been unable to structurally balance its budget and is again taking
local revenues.
The State passed legislation on July 24, 2009 to borrow 8% of Prop 1 A property tax revenues
and take Redevelopment Agency tax increment revenues in order to balance their budget. The
impacts to the City of Chula Vista in fiscal year 2009-10 total $8.5 million composed of $4.3
million of property ta'{ revenue and $4.2 million of Redevelopment Agency tax increment
revenue.

General Fund
The borrowing of 8% of property taxes is estimated to be approximately $4.3 million and is to be
repaid by the State with interest in fiscal year 2013. The State included language in the bill that
would enable the "securitization" of the State's promise to repay local agencies. This will allow
local agencies to participate in a bond offering to pay the State. However, the current credit
environment combined with the State's poor credit rating makes it unclear whether there would
be a market for these bonds. Given the market uncertainty and the expense the City may incur as
part of a State bond issuance, the City may instead consider an inter-fund loan to borrow the'
funds internally to avoid additional service cuts andJor impacts to the General Fund reserves.
This is in compliance with Council's Policy that" in addition to externally financed debt, the
City utilizes inter-fund loans whenever possible to reduce borrowing costs or provide for shorter
term loans."
Cash balances in the Park Acquisition and Development fund (PAD) are estimated at $28.4
million after completion of San Miguel and All Seasons Parks. The PAD fees collected and
earmarked toward the 70 Acre Park total $27.3 million with the remaining to fund neighborhood
parks. An inter-fund loan is a viable option available to the City to fund the State property tax
revenue takeaway. In the FY 2009-2010 City Budget, Council authorized work to begin on the
master plan of this park with the expectation that the park may be constructed in stages which
will draw down these funds over time. The master plan is currently scheduled to be completed in
the summer of 20 II. Another year is scheduled for design leading to an estimated constmction
period beginning in the summer of 2012. The State repayment of Prop I A funds to local
agencies should occur by 2013. If the State is unable to repay the City, we do not anticipate that
the construction of the park will be impacted because the $4.3 million inter-fund loan reprcsents
a fraction of the total PAD funds available. The tenns of the State borrowing have yet to be
disclosed but the PAD would be repaid at the interest rate currently earned by the City's pooled
cash fund at the time of the loan (yielding 2.49% as of June 30, 2009).
If the State defaults on its loan from the City, the General Fund would be obligated to repay the
PAD fund. Annual scheduled payments trom the General Fund to the PAD fund may begin in
fiscal year 2013-14 and would vary depending on the terms of the loan (example: 10 year vs. 15
year payment schedule.)
Redevelopment Agencv
A total of $2.05 billion is proposed to be taken from California Redevelopment Agencies
through a seizure of $1. 7 billion in FY 2009-10, and then an additional $350 million in FY 20 I O-
Il. These funds will be deposited in County "Supplemental" Educational Revenue
Augmentation Funds (SERAF) to be distributed to meet the State's Proposition 98 obligations to
schools. This proposal attempts to use the same mechanism that was rejected by Sacramento
Superior Court, when the Court held that a proposed take of $350 million from redevelopment
agencies for FY 2008-09. via AB 1389 of 2008. was unconstitutional. The Legislature has added
~ . . ~

Council Infonnation

new language in an effort to work around the court decision, but redevelopment attorneys believe
this effort remains unconstitutional.
The impact to the City's Agency is estimated to be approximately $4.2 million in FY 2009-10
and $0.9 million in FY 2010-11. In addition to the available reserves in the Redevelopment
Agency the State is providing redevelopment agencies the option to "suspend" all or part of the
required 20% set-aside allocation to its Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund (Housing
Fund) for fiscal year 2009-10 in order to make the payment to the State. Similarly, an agency
may borrow the amount required to be allocated to the Housing Fund in order to make the
SERAF payment. This provision applies to fiscal years 2009-10 and 2010-11. Amounts
borrowed from the current year allocation to the Housing Fund must be repaid by June 30, 2015.
If the Redevelopment Agency fails to repay the Housing Fund by the deadline, the required
allocation of tax increment to the Housing Fund is increased to 25 percent for as long as the
project area continues to receive tax increment.
Based on FY 2009-10 budgeted tax increment revenue of$14.8 million, the 20% set-aside to the
Housing Fund is estimated at $2.9 million.
The Agency would be able to borrow $2.9
million from the Housing Fund with the
remaining $1.2 million to be paid out of
existing Agency reserves. The payment is due
to the State on May 10 of the applicable year.

The Housing Fund appears to be able to sustain the loan to the Agency for two main reasons.
First, the nature of providing assistance to the development of affordable housing projects is
cyclical. Normally, Housing Fund Reserves are accumulated over a period of years in order to
build up sufficient reserves to provide assistance to developers of affordable housing projects.
Additionally, the current state of lending and equity markets is making underwriting deals much
more difficult. Staff does not foresee any tangible deals closing in the next 12-18 months. The
Housing Fund reserves are estimated to be approximately $6.7 million (net of the $2.9 million
Low & Mod set aside loan and $1.5 million operating budget for fiscal year 2009-10).

One option that may become available prior to the May 10 payment date is a loan program
offered by the California Communities JPA. Depending on the credit environment there may be
an opportunity to finance the SERAF payment through a ten year loan similar to the method used
to finance the 2005 and 2006 ERAF payments. There are no details currently available but there
is discussion ofthe feasibility of offering the loan program.
The fiscal impacts to the General Fund and Redevelopment Agency will vary depending on
which option is approved by the City Council in funding the State Takeaways. City staff will
return with a formal recommendation to appropriate funds, approve inter-fund loans and/or
partici pate in a State loan program once the final details of the State loan programs are provided.
At that time the projected tlscal impacts will reflect the recommended option for addressing the
State takeaways.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Environmental Review Coordinator has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance 'With the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that filing of the fiscal year
2008/09 annual financial status report and complying with the Council Policy on Financial
Reporting and Budget Transfer Authority is not a "Project" as defined under Section 15378 of the
State CEQA Guidelines because it will not result in a physical change to the environment; therefore,
pursuant to Section l5060( c )(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines the actions proposed are not subject
to CEQA.

DISCUSSION
This report is provided in order to meet the City Charter requirement of publishing the City's
Combined Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and changes in Fund Equity (Attachment D) in
the local newspaper within 120 days of the close of the fiscal year. The statement is scheduled
for publication in the October 23rd issue of The Star News, which is the City's adjudicated
newspaper of general circulation.
We will provide the Council with a complete report of fiscal year 2008/09 financial data upon
presentation of the City's audited Comprehensive Annual Financial Report.
The General Fund began fiscal year 2008/09 with an available fund balance or reserve of $9.3
million. We are projecting that the ending available fund balance for fiscal year 2008/09 to
remain unchanged at approximately
$9.3 million. Available fund balance
or reserve is generally defined as the
balance of resources currently
available for appropriation and
therefore, does not include legally
required reserves, designations for
capital improvement projects or
reserves for encum brances or
advances.
Actual Expenditures and Transfers-
Out for the year amounted to $140.4
million, supported by Actual
Revenues and Transfers-In of $140.5

million. Schedules A and B are summary statements of actual revenues and expenditures for
fiscal year 2008/09.
The graph displays the fiscal year beginning reserve balance compared to prior years. The
ending available fund balance has increased to 6.7 percent of the General Fund budget, which is
below the Council Policy reserve level of 8 percent.
The fiscal year 2008/09 Council Adopted General Fund budget totaled $148.2 million. The mid-
year appropriations of approximately $2.8 million with offsetting revenues of $1.5 million for a
net cost to the General Fund of $1.4 million were approved during the fiscal year. The General
Fund net cost appropriations were for greater than anticipated expenditures for public liability
($1,200,000) and the cost of services provided by the County of San Diego Registrar of Voters
($250,000). Schedule C provides a complete listing of all budget amendments approved for the
2008/09 fiscal year.
Attachment D is an unaudited Sunnnary Report of Revenue, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund
Equity (excluding the Redevelopment Agency, Trust Funds and the Public Financing Authority)
for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009. Please note that the column titled "General Funds"
includes not only the General Fund, but also other Funds such as self-insurance reserves, which
are combined with the General Fund for financial reporting purposes. A full analysis of the
City's various funds will be provided in the Management's Discussion and Analysis section of
the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report. As required by Charter Section 504 (I), this
statement will be published in the local newspaper as discussed above.
The detailed data supporting this information is quite voluminous, but is available at your
request. The published Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) including the opinion
of the independent auditors should also be available within the next forty-five to 60 days and will
be provided to Council.
Schedule E provides a complete listing of all budget adjustments between summary accounts
approved by the City Manager in accordance with Council Policy 220-02 "Financial Reporting
and Transfer Authority" during fiscal year 2008/09.
Fiscal Year 2008/09 Request for Budget Transfers
For government entities, a budget creates a legal framework for spending during the fiscal year.
After the budget is approved there are circumstances, which arise that could require adjustments
to the approved budget. At the close of each fiscal year, the Finance Department reviews all
departmental and fund budgets to ensure that the fund budget and the departmental sununary
budget categories (Personnel Services, Supplies and Services, Other Expenses and Capital) have
not been exceeded. For fiscal year 2008/09, budget adjustments are required for the City
Attorney and the Fire departments.

The Council Policy on Financial Reporting and Transfer Authority indicates that all departments
complete the fiscal year with a positive balance in each budget summary category (Personnel
Services, Supplies and Services, Other Expenses and Capital). Council Policy 220-02 "Financial
Reporting and Transfer Authority" was established in January of 1996 and indicates that no
department shall end the fiscal year with a negative balance in any budget summary category. In
order to comply with the intent of this policy, the transfers discussed below are recommended for
approval. All recommended General Fund transfers can be done using existing appropriations.
Council has approved similar requests in the past after the close of the fiscal year.
When considering this request for budgetary transfers it is important to note the following:
. The transfer requests are for fiscal year 2008/09 and do not affect the current fiscal year
2009/1 0 budget.
. All recommended departmental transfers for the General Fund can be accomplished with
existing appropriations and no additional General Fund appropriations are being
requested.
There are two transfer requests being made by this staff report.
The City Attorney's office requires a transfer of $397,000 from budgetary savings in the
Personnel Services category to the Supplies and Services category for greater than anticipated
expenditures related to professional services.
The Fire department requires a transfer of $207,300 from budgetary savings in the Fire
Department's Supplies and Services category to the Personnel Services ($35,000) and Other
Expenses ($172,300) categories due to expenditures related to overtime pay and a detlbrillator
lease.

SUMNL~Y
As part of Chula Vista's climate protection program, staff has completed a greenhouse
gas (GHG) emissions inventory for 2008 to identify emission sources and to guide policy
decisions. The 2008 GHG Emissions Inventory, which utilizes a new State-supported
reporting protocol and newly-available emission coefficients, indicates that annual
citywide GHG levels have increased by 29% compared to 1990. However, per capita and
per housing unit levels in Chula Vista are approximately 25% and 17% below 1990
levels, respectively. GHG emissions from municipal sources (i.e. operations, facilities,
and vehicle fleet) in 2008 are approximately 43% below 1990 levels. Although
transportation levels ami energy use in the community have generally increased in every
inventory year since 1990, the stabilization of community-wide emissions and the
decrease of municipal operation emissions (compared to results previously reported in the
2005 GHG Emissions Inventory) are mainly due to new emission coefficients.
To meet the City's commitment to reduce emissions 20% below 1990 levels, staff has
begun initial implementation of the Council-approved seven climate protection measures
and is actively pursuing new funding sources to ensure their long-term, full

implementation. To complement these climate change mItIgation efforts, staff is
recommending that the City begin to assess vulnerabilities to climate changes and
strategize opportunities to adapt to the impacts. As outlined in the climate adaptation
planning roadmap, a Climate Change Adaptation Strategy would be developed over the
next year through a community-driven process and presented to City Council for formal
review and consideration in the future.
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 8 categorical exemption pursuant to
Section 15308 [Actions by Regulatory Agencies for Protection of the Environment] of
the State CEQA Guidelines. Thus, no further environmental review is necessary.
RECOMMENDATION
City COlmcil adopt the resolution.
BOARDS/COMMISSION RECOMMENDA nON
Staff presented the 2008 Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory and the roadmap for
developing a Climate Change Adaptation Strategy to the Resource Conservation
Commission (RCe) on September 14, 2009. The RCC formally accepted the inventory
report and unanimously supported the proposed climate adaptation planning efforts.
DISCUSSION
Chula Vista has historically been a regional and national leader in climate protection
policies and programs designed to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) or "carbon" emissions.
The City has participated in the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate
Change, ICLEI Cities for Climate Protection Campaign, and the Conference of Mayor's
Climate Protection Agreement. Through this past involvement, the City developed a
Carbon Dioxide Reduction Plan (2000) and new Climate Protection Measures (2008) to
improve energy efficiency and water conservation, expand renewable energy systems,
convert to more fuel efficient and alternative fuel vehicles, and design transit-friendly,
walkable communities. Both the Carbon Dioxide Reduction Plan and new Climate
Protection Measures constitute the City's comprehensive Climate Action Plan which will
assist the City in reaching its greenhouse gas emissions reduction commitment of 20%
below 1990 levels by 2010.
To help identify emission sources, assess program progress, and guide policy decisions,
the Department of Conservation & Environmental Service staff has completed a GHG
emissions inventory for Calendar Year 2008. The 2008 GHG Emissions Inventory
utilizes the new Local Govemment Operations Protocol which was jointly developed by
ICLEI, California Climate Action Registry, and the California Air Resources Board to
assist public agencies in quantifying their climate impact and incorporates newly-
available emission coefficients. As a result, staff has recalculated emission levels for
1990 and 2005 inventories with these new, more region-specific coefficients to ensure an
"apples to apples" comparison and to more confidently determine emission trends over
10-2
OCTOBER 20, 2009, !tem~

time. In addition, Chula Vista recently joined the California Climate Action Registry,
which is the State's premier voluntary greenhouse gas reporting system. Participation in
the California Climate Action Registry complements the City's other climate protection
efforts by documenting GHG emissions as it relates to Assembly Bill 32's (California
Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006) statewide reduction targets and prepares the City
for potential carbon trading opportunities in the future. The City of Chula Vista is the
first local government in San Diego County to successfully report its GHG emissions
through the California Climate Action Registry.
The 2008 GHG Emissions Invemory indicates that Chula Vista's annual citywide GHG
levels have increased to 934,630 metric tons of Carbon Dioxide Equivalent (MT C02e)
with expansion of its housing stock and population. The two greatest sources of
emissisns were from the transportation sector (44%) and residential energy use sector
(29%). Compared to 1990, Chula Vista's citywide GHG emissions have increased by
29%, however per capita and per housing unit levels are approximately 25% and. 17%
below 1990 levels, respectively. It should be noted that a large reason. for the
stabilization of community-wide emissions (compared to the 35% value previously
reported in the 2005 GHG Emissions lnvemory) is due to the new emission coefficients.
Transportation levels and energy use in the community have generally increased in everv
inventory year since 1990. In order to achieve the City's citywide reduction target;
annual community emissions would be required to be reduced by at least 352,997 metric
tons C02e.
Greenhouse gas emissions from municipal sources (i.e. operations, facilities, and vehicle
fleet) in 2008 totaled 16,817 MT C02e. Similar to the community inventory, the majority
of emissions were from the vehicle fleet (46%) and building energy use (34%). In
comparison to 1990 levels, GHG emissions from municipal operations decreased by 43%
or 12,807 metric tons COle surpassing the City's 20% reduction goal. This
accomplishment was largely possible due to the retrofitting of traffic signals in the 1990s
with energy-saving LED technologies. Although building energy use and fleet fuel
consumption has decreased slightly since the last inventory, the dramatic decrease of
municipal operation emissions (compared to the 18% value previously reported in the
2005 GHG Emissions Inventol:V) is mainly due to new emission coefficients.
The City has been continuing its carbon reduction efforts over the last 12 months by
beginning partial implementation of the seven new Climate Protection Measures based on
available funding. Staff has been able to secure one-time funding opportunities to install
more energy efficient and renewable energy technologies at municipal buildings and
replace a variety of fleet and transit vehicles with more efficient models. At a community
level, Conservation & Environmental Services staff has used its San Diego Gas &
Electric (SDG&E) Local Government Partnership to support energy efficient lighting
exchanges and free energy and water assessment services for residents and businesses.
Likewise, the Development Services Department has modified their plan check reviews
and drafted new ordinances to place additional emphasis in incorporating energy
efficiency and renewable energy opportunities L'lto new construction and major
renovation projects.
10-3
OCTOBER 20, 2009, ItemR
Page 4 of 5
To ensure long-term, full implementation of the seven measures, the City must finalize
either an increase in Energy Franchise Fees paid by SDG&E or establish a Local Fee
Authority with the assistance of State legislators. In addition to supporting existing
carbon-reducing programs, the new revenue sources would support implementation bf
two new key programs - a mandatory Green Building Standard requiring enhanced
energy efficiency levels and a home energy efficiency and solar conversion program
(known as the Home Upgrade, Carbon Downgrade program). The Green Building
Standard will help to lessen future emission increases from new greenfield development
and maximize efficiency of redevelopment projects. The Home Upgrade, Carbon
Downgrade program will immediately and drastically reduce the emissions associated
with existing building stock's energy use, water consumption, and wastewater generation.
These new programs are imperative to meeting Chula Vista's commitment of reducing
citywide emissions 20% below 1990 levels. It is staff s top priority to frnalize the Energy
Franchise Fees and Local Fee Authority funding mechanisms over the next 6 months to
present to City Council' for consideration.
Despite current efforts both regionally and globally to reduce carbon emissions, some
level of local climate change is expected to occur resulting in escalating temperatures and
heat waves, changing precipitation, rising sea levels, and increasing extreme natural
events. In response, government leaders are beginning to assess their community's
vulnerabilities to climate impacts and "adapt" their policies and programs accordingly.
By minimizing the risks associated with these climate impacts now, future costs can be
avoided and/or minimized.
In May 2009, the City of Chula Vista, represented by Councilmember Bensoussan, was a
sponsored guest at an International Conference on Climate Adaptation hosted by the
Andalusian government in Spain. Conference participants, which also included the State
of Califomia, City of San Diego, City of Jerez de la Frontera, and City of Seville,
discussed opportunities for capacity-building and the sharing of technical expertise in
climate policy development and implementation. Representatives from the various
governments also drafted a "Seville Declaration" which outlined future collaboration
priorities between the participants in climate adaptation plarrning.
In response, City staff has created a roadmap for Chula Vista's development of a Climate
Change Adaptation Strategy. As proposed, the Climate Change Working Group
(CCWG), comprised of residents, businesses, and community group representatives,
would review and evaluate various adaptation strategies through an open and transparent
process. The CCWG would be augmented to include additional members to broaden the
group's technical background and community perspective. Potential new members
would be vetted through the Resource Conservation Commission and the City Council's
[CLEI representatives. CCWG would be supported by the Conservation &
Environmental Services Department staff and a group of Ex Officio members providing
technical and public policy expertise. In addition to their publicly-noticed meetings, the
CCWG would host at least 2 public workshops on climate adaptation plarrning to solicit
additional community feedback. The CCWG would return to City Council by November
10-4
2010 with their recommendations for a Climate Change Adaptation Strategy for formal
review and consideration. In addition to developing a climate adaptation plan, the City of
Chula Vista would commit to participating in annual conferences and host a conference
in November 20 II as a signatory to the "Seville Declaration." Each signatory would also
lead an international panel to develop sample adaptation strategies for a particular topic
area. The City of Chula Vista has been asked to lead efforts related to climate change
impacts on ecosystems and biodiversity (especially wetlands).
DECISION MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has determined that the recommendations requmng Council action are 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.
CURRENT YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
Current partial implementation of the seven climate protection measures is being funded
through existing departmental budgets and external funds, thus not creating a new impact
to the General Fund. Development of a Climate Change Adaptation Strategy and
participation in annual conferences under the "Seville Declaration" over the next 2 years
are estimated to cost $14,500. Staff would rely on external funding sources (such as
grants and donations) to cover these costs, thus there would also be no new General Fund
impact. Staff time associated with administering the reconvened Climate Change
Working Group would be supported through the Department of Conservation &
Environmental Services' existing annual budget.
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
Full, long-term implementation of the climate protection measures is estimated at
$1,990,000 annually. Per City Council's direction, the climate measures' level of
implementation is based on available funding. Implementation of any recommended
adaptation strategies developed through the Climate Change Working Group may also
require additional funding resources. Therefore, staff is working to finalize Energy
Franchise Fees (paid by SDG&E) and Local Fee Authority (surcharge on energy, water,
sewage, solid waste, or other GHG-related utility bill) to provide new revenue sources to
fully cover the associated implementation costs. In addition, some climate protection
measures will actually help create General Fund savings in the long-term through
increased energy and water efficiency at municipal facilities and reduced fuel
consumption by fleet vehicles.

SUMMARY
As part of Chula Vista's climate protection program and its commitment to reduce greenhouse
gas (GHG) or "carbon" emissions 20% below 1990 levels, the Department of Conservation &
Environmental Services performs emissions inventories to identify GHG sources and to help
guide policy decisions. The 2008 GHG Emissions Inventory is the City's second formal
evaluation of its progress in reaching its emissions goals. The 2008 inventory utilizes the new
Local Government Operations Protocol which was developed jointiy by ICLEI, the California
Climate Action Registry, and the California Air Resource Board. With .the new protocol, this
report builds upon past inventory efforts (1990 and 2005) by incorporating newly-available
emission coefficients to more accurately assess emission levels in all three inventory years
and to more confidently determine emission trends over time. The 2008 inventory indicates
that Chula Vista's annual citywide GHG levels have increased with expansion of its housing
stock and population. Compared to 1990, Chula Vista's city,vide GHG emissions have
increased by 29%, however per capita and per housing unit levels are approximately 25% and
17% below 1990 levels, respectively. GHG emissions from municipal sources (i.e.
operations, facilities, and vehicle fleet) in 2008 are approximately 43% below 1990 levels. It
should be noted that a large reason for the stabilization of community-wide emissions and the
decrease of municipal operation emissions (compared to results previously reported in the
2005 GHG Emissions Inventory) is due to the new emission coefficients. For example,
transportation levels and energy use in the community have generally increased in every
inventory year since 1990.
To reach the community emissions reduction commitment outlined in the CO2 Reduction
Plan, the City must decrease annual emissions by at least 352,997 metric tons of carbon
equivalent.
INTRODUCTION
Chula Vista has historically been a regional and national leader in climate protection policies
and programs designed to reduce greenhouse gas or "carbon" emissions. The City has
participated in the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, ICLEI Cities
for Climate Protection Campaign, and the Conference of Mayor's Climate Protection

which is the State's premier voluntary greenhouse gas (GHG) reporting system designed to
archive participants' early actions to reduce GHG emissions and prepare them for future
carbon trading opportunities. Through this past involvement, the City has committed itself to
reducing its greenhouse gas emissions 20% below 1990 levels by 2010 based on a widely-
adopted international target. It should be noted that the international community has since
revised the reduction target date to 2012.
2008 GHG [nventory Report (DRAFT 9/18/09) 10-6
1 of 11
The City of Chula Vista's Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory for calendar year 2008 was
compiled and calculated using the Local Government Operations Protocol (LGOP) and
ICLEI's Clean Air & Climate Protection 2009 software (Version 2.1). The LGOP was
designed by ICLEI, the California Climate Action Registry, and the California Air Resources
Board to allow local governments to better estimate their annual greenhouse gas emissions
from municipal-operated sources. The software also calculates the emissions from major
community sources in order to help further shape local climate change policy and goals. The
LGOP incorporates newly-available emission coefficients which are specific to California
and/or the City's energy provider, San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E), to provide more
accurate emissions quantifications. As a result, staff has recalculated emission levels for 1990
and 2005 inventories with these new coefficients to ensure an "apples to apples" comparison
and to more confidently determine emission trends over time.
As stated above, the 2008 GHG Emissions Inventory separates emiSSIOns into two major
analyses, community and municipal. The community analysis represents the quantity of GHG
emissions produced throughout the entire City from both public and private sectors. The
municipal analysis only represents emissions from City facilities and operations. In both
analyses, the protocol evaluates emissions from three main parameters - energy consumption,
transportation, and waste. It is important to clari fy that these data parameters are based solely
on end use or net results. For example, the City's emissions from electricity are calculated
based on the total kilowatts used, not the kilowatts saved in City-sponsored efficiency
programs or the emissions output of the South Bay Power Plant. Although there are six
GHGs outlined in the Kyoto Protocol - carbon dioxide (C02), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide
(N20), hydro fluorocarbons (HFCs), perf1uorocarbons (PFCs), and sulfur hexafluoride (SF")-
tbe inventory calculates emissions based on CO2 Equivalent or C02e which allows emissions
of different strengths to be added together. For example, one metric ton of methane emissions
is equivalent to 21 metric tons (MT) of carbon dioxide (or C02e) in global warming potential.
In addition to outlining its 2008 inventory results in this report, the City has formally
submitted its municipal inventory to the California Climate Action Registry (CCAR) for
public review and vetting. The CCAR process, which was initially created by the State of
California, is a more robust greenhouse gas accounting procedure requiring third-party
verification. Participation in CCAR complements the City's other climate protection efforts
by documenting GHG emissions as it relates to Assembly Bill 32's (California Global
Warming Solutions Act of 2006) statewide reduction targets and prepares the Citv for
potential carbon trading opportunities in the future. The City of Chula Vista is the first local
government in San Diego County to successfully report its GHG emissions through the
California Climate Action Registry. In future years, the City will transition reporting to The
Climate Registry which is CCAR's North American counterpart. It should be noted that the
total municipal emissions reported in this inventory differ from the total emissions in the
City's 2008 California Climate Action Registry emissions report due to CCAR's slightly
different carbon accounting methodology.
RESULTS
With technical assistance from ICLEI, City staff collected "activity data" from a number of
municipal and external sources, including CalTrans, SDG&E, California Integrated Waste
2008 GHG Inventory Report (DRJ\FT 9/18/09) 1 0-7

Management Board (CIWMB), the Chula Vista Recreation Department, and the Public Works
Department (Table 1). In most cases, these data sources were able to provide aggregated
empirical data for calendar year 2008. However, it was necessary to use 2007 data for
community transportation levels from CalTrans' Highway Performance Monitoring Systems
due to the unavailability of 2008 data. Staff also updated the 2005 inventory to base that
year's transportation values on the more accurate Highway Performance Monitoring Systems
values.
Default emission coefficients and related assumptions were generally used for transportation
and waste analyses. For energy analyses, staff included Utility-specific electricity coefficients
for CO2 emissions. If these coefficients were not available for a particular inventory year (or
prior year), the California Grid Average electricity emission coefficients were used. All
inventories used the California Grid Average electricity coefficients for C~ and N20
emissions for the particular year (or most recently available year). This approach is consistent
with the new Local Government Operations Protocol and preferred by the California Air
Resources Board, the California Climate Action Registry, and ICLEI for GRG reporting. As
previously mentioned, these newly-available emission coefficients have resulted in staff
recalculating past inventory years' emission totals and allows for a more accurate comparison
between inventories.

In 2008, community GHG emissions from Chula Vista totaled 934,630 MT C02e (Table 2,
Figure I). The sector with the greatest amount of emissions (approximately 44%) was
transportation or mobile sources. The residential sector was the second highest source
producing about 29% of total community emissions from energy use, followed by the
commercial (23%) and industrial (4%) sectors. Because of the high methane recovery rates at
County landfills, the community did not have significant emissions from solid waste disposal.
Chula Vista's 2008 citywide GHG emissions were 29% higher than recalculated 1990 levels
and there were emission increases in nearly all sectors compared to 1990 (Figure I). The
City's residential and commercial sectors' energy emissions increased by approximately 38%
and 198%, respectively. Emissions from transportation activity were 23% greater in 2008
compared to 1990, while the industrial sector emissions had a 69% reduction between the
2008 and 1990 inventory years from 123,128 to 38,781 annual metric tons most likely due to
more accurate energy tracking in recent years (see page 7). Similar to the 1990 inventory,
emissions from Chula Vista solid waste disposal at County landfills were not significant in
2008.
Compared to recalculated 2005 emISSIon levels, 2008 emIssIons from citywide sources
increased 17%. The largest emissions increase between the two inventory years was in
overall energy use, with commercial energy use increasing from 146,245 to 212,432 MT
C02e or 45%. Transportation-based emissions actually decreased slightly (<1 %) since
calendar year 2005.

transportation sources representing 46% of total emissions. Energy use for building and
outdoor lighting generated 34% and 19% of total emissions, respectively. Emissions from

and 2008. Emissions from the solid waste sector were non-significant (<I MT C02e)
and are not graphed. Dashed line represents 20 I 0 reduction commitment.
When compared to recalculated 1990 levels, GHG emissions from municipal operations
decreased by 12,807 metric tons C02e or 43% and emission levels per City employee
(permanent, full-time) decreased 50% (Figure 2, Table 3). These reductions were mainly
caused by lower energy consumption in the external lighting sector (Figure 3). Emissions
from external lighting energy use (includes street lights and traffic signals) decreased 84%
from 20,260 to 3,276 metric tons due to an energy-efficient retrofit program in the mid-1990s.
Sewage sector emissions also decreased by 95% resulting in only 51 MT C02e being
produced in 2008. However, this reduction is most likely due to differences in how pump
station energy meters were segregated out of the dataset. The municipal building sector
increased its emissions 55% to 5,794 metric tons as new buildings and facilities have been
constructed and renovated. The municipal Reet sector which includes Chula Vista Transit
increased its emissions to 7,696 MT or 65% higher than 1990. Similar to the 1990 inventory,
emissions from municipal solid waste disposal at County landfills were not significant in
2008.

Compared to the recalculated 2005 inventory, the largest increases in 2008 were from the
external lighting and building sectors which increased by 1,244 and 1,218 MT COle,
respectively. Sewage-related GHG emissions increased slightly by 32 MT C02e, while the
vehicle fleet sector decreased emissions by 1,585 metric tons or 17% between 2005 and 2008.
DISCUSSION
As demonstrated in this report, Chula Vista's annual community GHG emissions continue to
increase as its building stock and population expand. From 1990 to 2008, the total energy use
and annual vehicles miles traveled (VMT), which are the major drivers for local GHG
emissions in the community, increased in every inventory year (Figure 4). Since 2005 alone,
4,337 new residential units were constructed and numerous business developments including
the Eastlake Design Center and the Otay Ranch Town Center were completed. The only
community sector to reduce emissions between 1990 and 2008 was the industrial energy use
sector. However, because commercial and industrial energy use could not be segregated in
the 1990 inventory, their individual emission contributions had to be estimated. Therefore,
reductions in industrial sector emissions are most likely due to more accurate energy
consumption tracking in 2005 and 2008. If commercial and industrial emission levels are
combined in each inventory year, there was an overall 29% increase in emissions from the
combined sectors between 1990 and 2008.
2008 GHG Inventory Report (DRAFT 9/18109) 10-12
7 of 11
'fhe increases in VMT and total
energy use since 1990 have been
partially offset by lower or "cleaner"
emission coefficients. For example,
carbon emissions per VMT decreased
in recent years due to improved
overall fuel efficiencies in most major
vehicle classes. Likewise, grid
electricity being delivered by San
Diego Gas & Electricity over the last
5 years has been derived more from
natural gas-fired power plants (and
less from coal-fried plants) resulting
in lower GHG emission coefficients
(Figure 5). For example, carbon
emissions from every kilowatt hour
(k\Vh) of electricity consumed was
22% lower in 2008 compared to
1990. .Without these "cleaner" emission coet1icients, citywide G HG emissions would have
increased by at least 51 % between 1990 and 2008.

Newly-available electricitv emission coefficients were also used to recalculate 1990 and 2005
inventories resulting in updated emission estimates compared to values previously reported in
the 2005 GHG Emissions Inventory (Figure 5). The more accurate coefficients have
recalibrated the City's previous inventory years and demonstrated that 1990 baseline
emIssIons were previously underestimated, while 2005 emissions were previously
overestimated.
Within the municipal inventory, fuel use
and building energy use increased
between 1990 and 2008. However, fuel
use and building energy use have shown
slight reductions since 2005 although
over 150,000 square feet of facilities
have been constructed or renovated
including 2 Civic Center buildings, 3
recreation centers, 3 fire stations, and
numerous park sites. The City's
investment in more energy eftlcient
traffic signals in the mid-1990s
continues to produce dramatic reductions
in overall municipal energy consumption
and annual GHG emissions.

have clearly benefited from newly-

coefficients and overall."c1eaner" coefficients, Chula Vista must continue its work to lower
emission sources, specifically VMT and energy consumption, to meet its emission reduction
commitment and offset its anticipated future growth. When the City is "built out" in 2030,
there will be an additional 27,000 homes and 85,000 residents within its jurisdiction. Because
the majority of these new buildings will be built on currently undeveloped sites, these new
structures and residents will create additional sources of GHG emissions regardless of their
energy efficiency, walkability, or integrated access to public transit. If 2008 per capita
emission levels represent "business as usual," GHG emission levels could reach 1.2 million
MT COle (or 74% over 1990 levels) when the City has been fully developed. While future
state and federal climate actions such as increasing grid-delivered renewable energy,
improving minimum vehicle fuel efficiency, and lowering fuel carbon content will continue to
benefit the City's climate protection efforts, they will not completely offset future growth or
automatically enable Chula Vista to accomplish its carbon reduction commitment.
Over the last few years, Chula Vista has continued its nationally-recognized leadership in
climate action planning by developing a new suite of programs and policies designed to
reduce greenhouse gas emissions. These seven. new climate measures were initially
developed and recommended by the City's Climate Change Working Group (CCWG) -
comprised of residents, businesses, and community-group representatives - and were formally
adopted by the City Council on April 1, 2008. The new measures focus on lowering energy
and water consumption, installing renewable energy systems, promoting alternative fuel
vehicle use and designing pedestrian and transit-friendly communities. More-detailed
implementation plans for the seven measures were subsequently developed by City staff,
vetted through over 25 public forums and meetings, and approved by City Council on July 10,
2008. The seven new measures plus the City's original Carbon Dioxide Reduction Plan
constitute Chula Vista's comprehensive Climate Action Plan.
City staff has begun partial implementation (based on available funding) of the seven
measures over the last 12 months to facilitate reductions in GHG emission levels. At a
municipal operations level, nearly 30 energy efficiency improvement projects have been
completed at City buildings generating over I million kWh in annual energy savings and
$160,000 in annual cost savings. In addition, a new 2,500 square foot solar hot water system
and two high-efficiency boilers were installed at the Loma Verde Aquatic Center resulting in
50,000 therms in annual energy savings. Since 2005, two Civic Center buildings were
redesigned and renovated to replace existing structures with more energy efficient buildings
which exceed State energy code standards (Title 24) and incorporate a 30 kW solar
photo voltaic system. To maximize the efficient operations of the City's facilities, eight staff
members have recently completed a comprehensive "Building Operator Certification" course.
Finally, the Chula Vista vehicle fleet has been augmented with new Compressed Natural Gas
(CNG) buses (5) and a hybrid vehicle to replace vehicles with higher carbon emissions.
These efforts will help Chula Vista maintain its current 43% GHG reductions (compared to
1990) from municipal operations and assist with further lowering citywide emission levels to
meet the 20% commitment.
At the community level, the City has implemented a variety of programs to reduce GHG
emissions since 2005. Conservation & Environmental Services Department staff, in
partnership with SDG&E, has launched a free energy assessment program to help local
2008 GHG Inventory Report (DRAFT 9118/09) 10-14
9 of 11
businesses decrease energy consumption and monthly utility costs. To date, over 2,000
businesses have participated in the program and have received over 49,000 energy-saving
CFLs in exchange for their incandescent light bulbs. In addition, almost 500 restaurants and
food service facilities have received more efficient pre-rinse spray valves for free through the
program. The annual savings from the CFL and pre-rinse spray valve exchange program are
estimated at 4 million k\Vh, 135,000 therms, and $800,000. Likewise, the Development
Services Department has moditled their plan check review and .inspection services to place_
additional emphasis in incorporating energy eftlciency and renewable energy opportunities
into new construction and major renovation projects. The City Council also recently
approved a new ordinance requiring all new residential units to be pre-wired for solar
photo voltaic systems allowing more cost-effective installations later by homeowners and
property managers.
NEXT STEPS
Long-term and full implementation of the seven climate protection measures will greatly
contribute to meeting the City's .carbon reduction goals. For mlmicipal operations, future
installation of a biodiesel fuel tank and ongoing replacement of fleet vehicles (upon
retirement) with high efficiency and alternative fuel models will decrease emissions from
mobile sources. Installation of large-scale solar photovoltaic systems and energy eftlciency
improvements at City-operated facilities will further reduce emissions from stationary
sources. One of the greatest opportunities for energy savings is the retrofit of the City's
approximately 9,000 street lights which constitute about 36% of municipal electricity use and
17% of municipal GHG emissions.
On a community level, implementation of two key programs - a mandatory Green Building
Standard requiring enhanced energy eftlciency levels and a home energy eftlciency and solar
conversion program (known as the Home Upgrade, Carbon Downgrade program) - are
imperative to meeting Chula Vista's commitment of reducing citywide emissions 20% below
1990 levels. The Green Building Standard will help to minimize future emission increases
from new greenfield development and maximize efficiency of redevelopment projects,
Complementary to the Green Building Standard, the Home Upgrade, Carbon Downgrade
program will immediately and drastically reduce the emissions associated with existing
building stock's energy use, water consumption, and wastewater generation. These two
programs will be further supplemented by climate measures focused on designing more
mixed-use, walkable development around the City's trolley stations and strict new outdoor
water use gUIdelines.
The climate protection measures' success will be largely dependent on securing a long-term
funding source for their implementation. Although the City has been able to secure various
one-time funding sources to support initial implementation, it will be difficult to sustain the
measures without consistent fmancing. Per City Council's direction, staff is actively pursuing
two possible funding options - Energy Franchise Fees and Local Fee Authority. Staff will be
returning to City Council in January with a proposal to increase the City's Energy Franchise
Fees, which is paid by San Diego Gas & Electric and based on total energy deliveries within
Chula Vista, to support long-term implementation. Because energy consumption is a major
contributor to community GHG emissions, there is a clear nexus between the fee and local
2008 GHG Inventory Report (DRAFT 9/18/09)10-15
10 of 11
carbon reduction efforts. The other option, Local Fee Authority, would require State
legislation and would allow the City to collect a carbon-based surcharge on energy, water,
sewage, solid waste, or similar GHG-related services. Staff is working with representatives
from State offices to establish the necessary Local Fee Authority legislation. It is staffs top
priority to finalize these funding mechanisms over the next 6 months to support full
implementation of the City's carbon reduction or "mitigation" measures.
A new initiative for Chula Vista's climate protection program being proposed by the City
Council's ICLEI representatives, Councilmember Bensoussan and Councilmember Ramirez,
is its Climate Change Adaptation Strategy. Climate adaptation is the ability of built, natural,
a,"1.d human systems to accommodate changes in climate with minimal potential damage or
cost. Despite all current efforts both locally and globally to mitigate or reduce emissions,
some level of climate change will still occur and have noticeable impacts on the San Diego
region. In order to manage these likely impacts from climate change and to build on its past
leadership, the City of Chula Vista will develop strategies to "adapt" the community to the
projected changes avoiiling the associated costs of impacts. These strategies will-be
fonnalized in a Climate Change Adaptation Strategy which will be developed under a
framework based on the City's experience with greenhouse gas emissions mitigation planning
and guidance from ICLEI-Local Governments for Sustainability. This planning will also
coincide with the City's participation in the International Conference on Climate Adaptation
held in Seville, Spain in May 2009 and the resulting adaptation planning priorities (known as
the "Seville Declaration") agreed upon by various California and Spanish government
entities. After developing the draft adaptation strategies with the assistance of community
stakeholders, the reconvened Climate Change Working Group, and the Resource
Conservation Commission, staff expects to return to City Council for fonnal review and
consideration by October 2010. Staff also anticipates providing interim progress updates to
City Council between January and October 2010.

CHULA VISTA
CLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATION STRATEGY
Roadmap for Deve!opment (DRAFT)
Background
The City of Chula Vista has long understood the threats of climate change to its community and
has established itself as a leader amongst municipalities in planning to reduce or "mitigate"
Cil:y\vide greenhouse gas emissions. However, despite efforts both locally and globally to
mitigate emissions, some level of climate change will still occur and have noticeable impacts on
the San Diego region. In order to manage these likely impacts from climate change and to build
on its past leadership, the City ofChula Vista will assess the community's vulnerabilities to these
climate impacts and develop strategies to "adapt" the community to the projected changes.
These strategies will be formalized in. a Climate Change Adaptation Strategy and will be
developed under a framework based on the City's experience with greenhouse gas emissions
mitigation planning and guidance from ICLEI-Local Governments for Sustainability. This
planning will also coincide with the City's participation in the International Conference on
Climate Adaptation held in Seville, Spain in May 2009 and the resulting adaptation planning
priorities (known as the "Seville Declaration") agreed upon by various California and Spanish
government entities.
Expected Outcomes of Climate Adaptation Planning
The City of Chula Vista will begin a climate adaptation planning process to achieve the
following:
(a) Through a community-based process, develop a local Climate Change Adaptation
Strategy. which would be incorporated into the City's current Climate Action Plan, for
City Council review and consideration by the end of 20 I 0 which addresses the following
sectors projected to be adversely affected by climate change:
\\1 ater Management
Energy Management
Infrastructure & Resources
Public Health
Wildfires
Ecosystems & Biodiversity
Business & Economy
(b) Continue its collaboration with other Seville Declaration partlclpants by leading an
international panel focused on adaptation planning for nature conservation and
biodiversity preservation which will complement additional panels being chaired by other
signatory governments.

(c) In addition to participating in annual conferences with Seville Declaration signatories, .the
City will host an international conference in November 2011 to coordinate and optimize
development of individual government adaptation strategies.
Community-Based Planning Process
To develop a local Climate Change Adaptation Strategy which would be incorporated into the
City's current Climate Action Plan, the City will utilize a community-based process which was
successful in the past creating the City's original Carbon Dioxide (C02) Reduction Plan and
more recent seven climate protection measures. Therefore, staff proposes using the City's
Climate Change Working Group (CCWG) which is comprised of Chula Vista residents,
businesses, and community group representatives to assist in developing climate adaptation
strategies suitable for Chula Vista. Specifically, the group will be tasked with assessing and
selecting a list of recommended adaptation polices and programs. These recommendations will
be presented to the City Council for formal review and consideration. Based upon City
Council's direction, these recommendations would be further developed into more
comprehensive plans by staff, if necessary.
Because of the broad scope of potential adaptation strategies and to ensure equitable and diverse
viewpoints, staff proposes augmenting the current Climate Change Working Group with the
following sector representatives:
FOClls Area Possible Renresentativds)
Water Management Local water district official
Energy Management Energy industry professional
Renewable energy consultant
Electrical workers association
Infrastructure & Resources Engineering firm
Building industry representative
Coastal resource manager

Transportation/Land-use professional
Wildfires Emergency service provider
Fire-services
Property-owner along wildland/urban interface
Ecosystems & Biodiversity Conservation professional
Nature Center staff
Local environmental group
I Business & Economy Small & Large Businesses
Southwestern College representative
Potential new members would be vetted through the Resource Conservation Commission and the
City Council's rCLEr representatives. The Climate Change Working Group will be supported by
Ex Officio members who may include representatives from rCLEL San Diego Gas & Electric,

California Center for Sustainable Energy, Public Safety Departments, Public Works Department,
and Development Services Department. The San Diego Foundation will also playa key role on
the Ex Officio team due to its current regional work related to climate change impacts. Their
"Focus 2050" study compiled and analyzed predicted climate changes to the San Diego region
with the assistance of local universities and public agencies. Conservation and Environmental
Services Department staff will provide overall administrative support to the Climate Change
Working Group and the climate adaptation planning l:i"rocess. A professional facilitator may also
be used to help organize and conduct the meetings. Throughout the development of these
adaptation strategies, special emphasis will be placed on ensuring an open and transparent
process and providing the public with opportunities for input and feedback. It is anticipated that
the Climate Change Working Group will host several large public forums in addition to their
norrnal publicly-noticed meetings to help the community understand the inherent risks to Chula
Vista from climate change and opportunities to manage the risk. All summary materials will be
provided in both Spanish and English and distributed both on-line and in the community.
Climate Change Working Group members will be required to commit to bi-monthly meetings, to
work in a cooperative way with fellow group members, and be able to dedicate time to prepare
and research (if necessary) for CCWG meetings. All participants will also have to understand
the environmental, social, and economic context of their task. The Climate Change Working
Group will be asked to use certain guiding principles to evaluate and prioritize possible
adaptation options:
I) Seek out the best available science to understand local climate change impacts and their
relative risks;
2) Give priority to policies which can build on existing work rather than policies which
require new sources of funding or staffing;
3) Ensure that the legitimate interests of all City stakeholders are considered in evaluating
options;
4) Develop policies flexible enough for future incorporation of new science or improved
modeling, but defined well enough for staff to implement;
5) Ensure that adaptation strategies complement climate protection measures already in
place in Chula Vista;
6) Consider strategies to adapt to both short- and long-terrn impacts trom climate change,
but only in areas where the group decides there is enough evidence to support the work;
7) Prioritize strategies in accordance with the degree of risk that different climate impacts
pose to Chula Vista, its residents, and businesses:
8) Recommend adaptation strategies which address the most immediate risk in the most
tinancially feasible way (i.e. require the least General Fund support);
9) The strategies chosen should not cause a significant adverse economic and/or
envirornnental impact to the community
10) Reach consensus on a preferred list of final recommended adaptation strategies which
best meets all City stakeholders' needs
International Panel on Climate Adaptation & Nature Conservation
As part of the Seville Declaration's implementation, the City will lead an international panel
tasked with addressing potential climate change impacts to ecosystems (especially wetlands) and

formulating local adaptation options to minimize the associated risk. The panel will be one of
six committees which are being chaired by various Seville Declaration signatories. The panel
will be designed so that other Seville Declaration governments can benefit from the resulting
resources and recommendations. The process will likely involve few actual meetings, but rather
depend on digital sharing of information and ideas due to participants' wide geographic
dispersion. However, the panel may include sponsorship of a local symposium on the latest
scientific research related to the topic. Further design of the panel and its process will occur
during the next meeting of Seville Declaration governments in November 2009. At this meeting,
the declaration of cooperation between the Andalusian and Californian governments will be
finalized and formally signed.
Chula Vista Conference on Climate Adaptation Strategies
The culmination of the City's climate adaptation planning efforts will be the hosting of an
international conference in Chula Vista in November 2011. Conferenceinvitees will include the
Seville Declaration signatories and other public agencies and stakeholder groups which are
active in pursuing climate adaptation frameworks. The conference will also offer the City an
opportunity to showcase its Climate Change Adaptation Strategy and the "lessons learned"
during its development and initial implementation.

DRAFT - THE SEVILLE DECLARATION
International conference on adaptation to climate change
Seville, May 19 & 20, 2009
THE SIGNATORiES, in representation of the Andalusian Regional Government, the State of
California, and the City Councils of Chula Vista, Jerez de ia Frontera, San Diego and Seville,
declare that:
We are in agreement with the scientific tests and studies on global warming and recognize that
giobal climate change is iargely due to the increase in human-induced greenhouse gas
emissions.
.We believe that climate change is one of the greatesHhreats to society, the-economy, health,
and the environment that regional and local agencies are facing all over the world.
We accept that, in order to be able to mitigate the negative effects of climate change, it is
necessary to carry out actions in a coordinated manner, not only at an international and national
ievel, but also and predominantly at a regional and local level, since measures at a territorial
level can play a vital roie in the planning and implementation of sustainabie development
policies, and in particular of climate change adaptation measures.
We recognize that the level of economic development varies from region to region and that,
consequently, any action undertaken in the fight against climate change needs to take into
account the obvious differences there are between regions.
We confirm the need to jointly develop appropriate measures in order to combat climate
change, not only now but also in the future, in accordance with the provisions of the United
Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.
In order to meet these principles we need to work together and with our respective governments
so as to undertake the following:
To work together to develop the necessary climate change adaptation tools and methods and
thereby ensure thai our regions and municipalities become leaders in this discipline.
To research, develop, and implement climate change adaptation programmes that will promote
economic development, enhance the competitiveness of regions and municipalities, and
improve quality of life in general, by creating working groups in which the signatories are
10-24
represented, with a view to exploring in greater depth the specific adaptation strategies called
for by the various economic sectors.
To promote renewable energies and their implementation in our territories, encouraging and
enabling research into new technologies while developing existing ones.
To strengthen cooperation among other regional and local authorities and agencies in order to
promote best practices in the fight against climate change.
To work closely with citizens in order to promote awareness of climate change adaptation
policies and make citizens stakeholders in the implementation of those policies aimed at
managing the environmental, economic and social adverse impacts of climate change.
To consolidate and build on this experience by holding joint climate change adaptation
conferences at least once every two years, in which the signatories will lake stock of the
progress made and share their own experiences and knowiedge of new tools and new
technologies.
We hereby sign this declaration and undertake to work towards the development,
establishment, and implementation of climate change adaptation policies in our respective
territories.

SUMMARY
On July 10, 2008, Council approved Resolution No. 2008-177 adopting the Implementation
Plans for the Climate Change Working Group (CCWG) measures. Measure # 4, Green Building
Standards, consists of several components, one of which is the adoption of increased energy
efficiency standards requiring residential and nonresidential buildings to be more energy
efficient than the State mandated building energy efficiency standards. The proposed Ordinance
amends the City's Energy Code and adopts increased energy efficiency standards.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Environmental Review Coordinator has reviewed the proposed Ordinance for compliance
with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that there is no
possibility that the activity may have signiticant effect on the environment; therefore, pursuant to
Section 15061(b)(3) (General Rule) of the state CEQA Guidelines the activity is not subject to
CEQA. Although environmental review is not necessary at this time, additional environmental
review will be required if applicable, prior to the approval of any future project specific
development entitlements including, but not limited to, site development plans, building permits,
land development permits, and conditional use permits.

RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council place the Ordinance on first reading and adopt the resolution.
BOARDS/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
The Board of Appeals and Advisors at their Monday, September 14, 2009 meeting, unanimously
recommended the adoption of the proposed Ordinance.
DISCUSSION
Background
The City has been a leader in climate protection policies and programs designed to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions. Through its Carbon Dioxide Reduction Plan, the City committed itself
to reducing its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 20% below 1990 levels. The City's 2005
GHG emissions inventory indicated that annual citywide GHG levels had increased by 35%
since 1990 due primarily to residential growth. As a result, the City Council directed staff to
convene a Climate Change Working Group (CCWG) to develop recommendations to add to the
City's existing Carbon Dioxide Reduction Plan and its portfolio of programs which would
further reduce the community's greenhouse gas emissions. On April I, 2008, City Council
adopted the CCWG seven recommendations and directed staff to return to Council with detailed
implementation plans. On July 10,2008, Council approved Resolution No. 2008-177 in which
Council adopted the implementation plans for the CCWG measures and approved partial
implementation of the measures based on funding levels. Measure # 4, Green Building
Standards, consists of several components, one of which is the adoption of increased energy
efficiency standards requiring residential and nonresidential buildings to be more energy
efficient than the State mandated building energy efficiency standards. The proposed Ordinance
amends the City's Energy Code (MC Chapter 15.26) and adopts increased energy efficiency
standards.
Increased energy efficiency standards will reduce the rapid growth in demand for electricity
which in turn will reduce the need for new generation, transmission and distribution facilities,
and will reduce the risk of power shortage. Furthermore, it will reduce greenhouse gas emissions
which will help mitigate the causes and effects of global climate change and improve air and
water quality by reducing emissions from smog and acid rain forming pollutants. Saving energy
will economically benefit residents and businesses by reducing the rate of increase in energy
prices and by reducing energy bills.
The initial implementation plan for Measure # 4 proposed mandating new and retrofit residential
and non-residential projects to achieve carbon savings equivalent to exceeding current State
Standards (05 Standards) by at least 15%. As staff worked on the details of the program, staff
realized that establishing a carbon savings benchmark as a means of compliance is ahead of its
time and concluded that it will result in a program that is more complex than it needs to be. For
the purpose of simplifying the program, while at the same time achieving an equivalent level of
energy savings, staff proposed to require projects to demonstrate that they have exceeded the
2008 Building Energy Efficiency Standards (08 Standards) by a specific percentage. This
compliance method is consistent with the structure, format and calculation methods of the
California Energy Efficiency Standards and is simple and clear for the building industry to
11-2
Item No.: / I
Meeting Date: 1 0/20/09

understand and staff to enforce. Through discussion with the Building Industry Association
(BIA), statf also proposed to offer an energy credit option for building construction within
Sectional Planning Area (SPA) Plan project areas where developers can meet a portion of the
increased building energy efficiency requirements through community site design measures,
provided the SPA Plans meet certain design criteria.
Local Amendments to California Building Standards
Pursuant to Sections 17958 and 18941 of the Health and Safety Code, before making any
modifications to the California Building Standards Code, the City must make an express finding
that such modifications are reasonably necessary because of local climatic, geologic or
topographical conditions. Modifications to the California Building Standards and Building
Energy Efficiency Standards, as detailed in this Ordinance, are reasonably necessary due to local
climatic conditions. As a result of high summer ambient temperatures and periods of heat waves,
average load demand and peak load demand of energy used in Chula Vista is an important factor
concerning public safety and adverse economic impacts of power outages or power reductions.
Reduction of total and peak energy use, as a result of incremental energy conservation measures
required by this Ordinance, will have local and regional benefits in the cost-effective reduction
of energy costs for the building owner, additional available system energy capacity, and a
reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.
2008 Building Energv Efficiencv Standards
The 08 Standards, minimum standards mandated by the State, will take effect on January I,
2010. The 08 Standards are about 15% to 20% more stringent than the current Standards.
Increased standards of 15% and 20% above the 08 Standards are about 30% to 40% above the
current Standards.
Climate Zones
The City falls within two climate zones (CZ); CZ 7 and CZ 10. The majority of the City falls
within the mild CZ 7, and about 20%, the most easterly part of the City, falls within the harsher
CZ 10. Attachment B, Climate Zones map, delineates the two CZs.
Proposed Increased Standards
The proposed Ordinance requires new residential and nonresidential construction to be more
energy efficient than the 08 Standards as follows:
CZ 7: New residential and nonresidential projects that fall within CZ 7 must be at least 15%
more energy efficient than the 08 Standards.
CZ 10: New low-rise residential projects (three-stories or less) that fall within CZ 10 must be at
least 20% more energy efficient than the 08 Standards, and new nonresidential, high-rise
residential or hotel/motel projects that fall within CZ 10 must be at least 15% more
energy efficient than the 08 Standards.
In both climate zones, low-rise residential additions. remodels or alterations that are less than or
equal to 1,000 square feet, and nonresidential, high-rise residential or hotel/motel additions,
11-3
Item No.: II
Meeting Date: 10/20/09
Page 4 oflO
remodels or alterations that are less than or equal to 10,000 square feet, are exempt from the
increased energy efficiency standards.
California Energy Commission Application
In order for the City to adopt and enforce increased building energy efficiency standards, the
City must submit an application to the California Energy Commission (CEC) and obtain
approval before the increased standards can take effect. The application submittal must include
(1) The proposed standards as adopted by Council, (2) A study with supporting analysis showing
how the City determined energy savings, (3) A statement that the proposed standards will require
buildings to be designed to consume no more energy than permitted by the State Building
Energy Efficiency Standards, and (4) The basis of the City's determination that the proposed
standards are cost effective. The determination that the standards are cost effective will need to
be adopted by Council at a public hearing. After City Council place the proposed Ordinance on
first reading, staff will submit the application to the CEC for their review and approval. After
CEC approval, staff will bring the Ordinance to City Council for second reading and adoption.
The CEC review and approval process can take up to three months.
Cost-Effectiveness Study
In order to meet the CEC requirements, the City, with help from San Diego Gas and Electric
(SDG&E), hired an energy consultant, Gabel Associates, LLC (consultant), to perform the
required cost effectiveness analysis. The analysis is included as Attachment C.
The analysis is performed by using early 2008 Standards beta version of CEC approved software
to compare life cycle costs with the estimated cost savings to be achieved by complying with the
proposed standards. [t is a limited study and is not intended to determine the macro-effects of
any specific policy decisions. The study analyzed exceeding the 08 Standards by 10%, 15% and
20% for low-rise residential, high-rise residential and non-residential projects. It took into
account the two CZs the City falls within; CZ 7 and CZ'IO. The combination of energy
efficiency measures used in the case studies to reach the various thresholds were based on the
consultant's experience and professional judgment and not on a comprehensive analysis of all
possible combinations of energy efficiency measures. The table below shows the average
incremental cost and the average simple payback period for the added energy measures as
determined from the case studies:

Incremental costs depend on the energy efficiency features used by the designer/builder to
achieve compliance. Anyone building can achieve compliance in a number of ways and
therefore, the cost of compliance can vary. Similarly, paybacks depend on the specific selection
of energy measures, how they perform in a specific building design in a particular climate zone,
and what the first costs are for those measures.
As stated in the study, "A set of energy measures is generally considered cost-effective if the
payback is less than the average useful life of those measures. In residential construction, for
example, most energy measures will typically last at least 15 years, and most will not function
beyond 30 years. So energy measures with a payback of around 15 years or less would usually be
cost-effective, and a payback beyond 30 years usually would not. Paybacks between 15 and 30
years may be cost-effective depending on the weighted average useful life of the measures
selected." The useful life of insulation is about 50 years, for windows and doors is about 20
years, for air heating/cooling units is about 18 years and for domestic water heaters is about 14
years.

Chart 1 for CZ 7 shows the payback period for low-rise multi-family for the 15% level to be over
the 30-year line, whereas for the 20% level, the payback period is closer to the 15-year line. This
gives the notion that, in general, for low-rise multi-family in CZ 7, the 20% level is more cost
effective than the 15% level, which is not the case. For the 20% level, the consultant introduced
instantaneous tankless gas hot water heaters, a readily available but not a standard measure,
instead of simply increasing the efficiency of standard measures such as insulation or standard
hot water heaters. The consultant could have introduced the instantaneous tankless gas hot water
heaters at the 15% level and the payback period for the 15% level would have been close to or
below the 15-year line making the 15% level more cost effective than the 20% level. This
emphasizes what was previously noted that the combination of energy efficiency measures used
in the case studies to reach the various thresholds do not represent a comprehensive analysis of
all possible combinations of energy efficiency measures or the most cost effective combination.
Energy Subcommittee Meetings
On May 6, 2009, staff presented the cost-effectiveness study and staff recommendation to the
City Council Energy Subcommittee. The initial study consisted of case studies analyzing the
upfront incremental cost and payback periods resulting from requiring low-rise residential
projects (three stories or less) to be more energy efficient than the 08 Standards by 10%, 15%,
and 20%, and non-residential and high-rise residential by 10%. At that time, staff proposed
requiring low-rise residential to be 15% more energy efficient than the 08 Standards, and 10%
for high-rise residential and non-residentiaL The Subcommittee asked staff to return with
additional information on the impact of 15% and 20% above the 08 Standards for non-residential
and high-rise residential. Staff worked with SDG&E on amending their contract with the
consultant to include the additional case studies. Staff returned to the Subcommittee on August
3, 2009 and presented the updated study and proposed 15% above the 08 Standards for both
residential and non-residential, and proposed exempting low-rise residential additions and
alterations that are less than or equal to 1,000 square feet, and high-rise residential and non-
residential additions and alterations that are less than or equal to 10,000 square feet In addition,
11-6

staff proposed including a placeholder in the Ordinance for a future community design energy
credit option. The Subcommittee modified staffs proposal with a recommendation to require
20% above the 08 Standards for low-rise residential in CZIO, the harsher climate zone covering
the most easterly part of the City. Furthermore, the Subcommittee directed staff to provide
statistical data on the median size of residential additions in the City to help idcntify if the 1,000
square foot threshold for residential addition/alteration is a reasonable size. Staff met with both
Subcommittee members individually and presented the requested information and the reasoning
for the 1,000 square foot low-rise residential addition/alteration exemption threshold (discussed
below). Both members are in support of the residential exemption threshold.
The Subcommittee also provided input and direction to staff regarding the encrgy credit option
within new SPA Plan areas. While they supported retaining the option, the Subcommittee
directed that staff remove Ordinance provisions specifying particular amounts of credit at this
time. Staff had proposed allowing a third of the 15 % or 20% efficiency increase for buildings to
be credited if the SPA Plan met performance criteria. The Subcommittee asked that more
specific information be gathered as to the energy saving value of various SPA Plan community
and site design features before determining what level of credit should be granted. They wanted
some level of empirical measurement that the building savings to be forcgone would reasonably
be offset. Staff indicated that this is an active and evolving area of research, and that it may take
approximately a year before reliable information is vetted based on current status of several
studies regarding the energy and carbon saving values of community design and site planning
features. In the mean time, the Subcommittee supported placeholdcr language in the Ordinance
that allows the credit option subject to future guidelines.
Additions. Remodels and Alterations Exemption Thresholds
The consultant recommended exempting low-rise residential additions, remodels or alterations
that are less than or equal to 1,000 square feet, and high-rise residential and non-residential
additions, remodels or alterations that arc less than or equal to 10,000 square feet. Based on the
consultant's experience, small additions tend to have long payback periods especially if they
have to upgrade the existing house to get the addition to meet the increased standards. It costs
more to replace or upgrade an existing component than simply installing a more energy efficient
one in a new building. In addition, the incremental cost is a larger pcrcentage of the overall
construction cost for a small addition than a large addition.
Furthermore, requiring the increased standards on these types of projects takes away the
prescriptive compliance option which is currently available to permit applicants. The prescriptive
option is a simple prepackaged option where all new or altered components will need to meet
predetermined requirements. Typically, this option does not require the involvement of an
energy consultant or computer analysis. If the increased standards are to be required on small
additions or alterations, applicants will have to use the performance option to demonstrate
compliance; a CEC approved compliance software which typically involves an energy consultant
which adds coordination time and cost to the project.
Energv Credit Option
The proposed Ordinance includes an energy credit option for building construction within
Sectional Planning Area (SPA) Plan project areas whose SPA is approved subsequent to the
11-7
Item No.: / I
Meeting Date:l0/20/09
Page 8 of 10
effective date of the proposed Ordinance (see Section 15.26.030E). The option encourages
energy savings early in the site planning process, provides flexibility and recognizes savings
through community site design. Under this option, the developer may meet a portion of the
increased building energy efficiency standards provided the SPA Plan has satisfied the qualifying
thresholds for community design and site planning features as established in the SPA's approved
Air Quality Improvement Plan (AQIP). Those thresholds have been included as part of draft
revised AQIP Guidelines that statI will be presenting for Council action in early November. If
the approved AQIP has met the qualifying thresholds, the applicant may request and receive an
energy savings credit towards a portion of the increased standards subject to approval by the
Director of Development Services, and subject to applicable guidelines in effect at the time of
the request for credit.
Other J urisdictions/Programs
The consultant informed staff that other jurisdictions he is assisting with adopting increased
standards are considering requiring only 15% above the 08 Standards for both residential and
non residential; San Francisco, San Jose, Santa Rosa, Palo Alto, Berkley, Richmond, County
Sonoma and Marin County. In addition, Build-It-Green, a well recognized nonprofit
organization that promotes green building and sustainability practices in California is setting the
qualification level for their Green Point Rated program at 15% above the 08 Standards.
Furthermore, the State is proposing changes to the voluntary measures in the California Green
Building Standards Code to provide a designation of CALGREEN Tier 1 and Tier 2 to buildings
exceeding the minimum State standards by 15% and 30%, respectively.
Incenti ves
Homes built to at least 15% above the 08 Standards may qualify for incentive programs offered
by SDG&E such as the CA Energy Star New Homes program or the New Solar Homes
Partnership program. The incentive per Single-Family under the CA Energy Star New Homes
program is about $400 and $500 for CZ 7 and CZ 10, respectively. For Multi-Family, the
incentive per dwelling unit is $150 and $200 for CZ 7 and CZ 10, respectively. As for
nonresidential projects, SDG&E has an incentive program called Savings By Design offering
owner incentives of up to $150,000, and design team incentives of up to $50,000. These
incentives will reduce the upfront cost for qualifying buildings. Based on the average
incremental costs and payback periods shown above, SDG&E incentives can potentially reduce
the initial cost and payback period for a new home that is 15% better than the 08 Standards and
in CZ 7 as follows:

Expiration ofIncreased Standards
Pursuant to State law, local amendments to the California Energy Code will no longer be in
effect the date a new California Energy Code takes effect. Therefore, Section 15.26,030 of the
proposed Ordinance, Increased Energy Efficiency Standards, will have to expire upon the date
the 2008 Building Energy Efficiency Standards are no longer in effect. Amendments to future
State building energy efficiency standards will have to go through the CEC approval and local
adoption processes, Regardless of the periodic expirations and the need to readopt local
standards, it is staff s understanding that the City Council desires that our local standards always
exceed the minimums required under the State building energy efficiency standards, To this end,
staff would intend to pursue the currently proposed levels of 15% and 20% above State building
energy efficiency standards for climate zones 7 and 10, respectively, for future code updates, and
will conduct its reevaluations of cost-effectiveness using those levels, We would then return to
Council to present the study results as to the cost-effectiveness of continuing to apply the 15%
and 20% levels prior to proceeding with the required local adoption and CEC approval process,
In the event that the Council, based on the study, determines that sustaining the 15% and 20%
levels is not cost-effective, Council can provide appropriate direction to staff at that time, It
would be staffs goal to carry out these actions so that the City's standards would be in place no
later than the effective date of the State's new standards,
DECISION MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has determined that the recommendations requiring Council action are not site specific and
consequently the 500 foot rule found in California Code of Regulations Section 18704,2(a)(1) is
not applicable to this decision.

1.0 Executive Summary
Gabel Associates has researched and reviewed the feasibility and energy cost-
effectiveness of permit applicants exceeding the state's 2008 Building Energy Efficiency
Standards, which take effect January 1, 2010, in order to meet the minimum energy-
efficiency requirements of a proposed Chula Vista Ordinance. The study contained in
this report shall be included in Chula Vista's application to the California Energy
Commission which must meet the requirements specified in Section 10-106 of the
California Code of Regulations, Title 24, Part 1 , LOCALLY ADOPTED ENERGY
STANDARDS. The proposed Chula Vista ordinance shall be enforceable after the
Commission has reviewed and approved the local energy standards as meeting all
requirements of Section 10-106; and the Ordinance has been filed with the Building
Standards Commission.
Case studies of several building designs were used to consider the cost-effectiveness of
exceeding the 2008 Title 24 Building Energy Efficiency Standards in the two California
climate zones within Chula Vista, Zones 7 and 10. The case studies have been used to
consider the following questions for common building types in each climate zone:
. What set of energy measures are needed to just meet the 2008 Standards? And
what sets of additional measures are needed to reduce the standard TDV energy
in KBtu/sf-yr by 10%,15% and 20% for low-rise residential buildings, and by 10%
for high-rise residential and nonresidential buildings.
. What is the incremental (added) construction cost of the various sets of energy
measures? And what are those costs per square foot?
. What is the annual energy saving in each case study? What is the annual energy
cost saving for each scenario?
. What is the Simple Payback for the added energy measures?
. What is the C02-equivalent reduction in emissions from each scenario (Ib.lsf-yr)?
. What level or levels of energy efficiency that exceed the 2008 Standard appear
cost-effective in these climate zones?

2.0 Impacts of the New Ordinance
Energy performance impacts of the Ordinance have been evaluated using several case
studies which refiect a broad range of building types covered by the Ordinance.
. Two single family homes
. A low-rise multi-family building
. A high-rise residential building
. A nonresidential (office) building
Overall Case Study Method
The methodology used in these case studies is based on the way that real buildings are
designed and evaluated in just meeting or exceeding the energy standards.
(a) Each building design is tested for compliance with the 2008 Standards. The
energy measures chosen are not all the prescriptive measures, but are a
combination of measures which refiects how designers, builders and developers
are likely to achieve a specified level of performance. For single family home
designs, all four cardinal orientations are run to find the worst-case scenario for
this step and in step (b) below.
(b) Starting with a 2008 Standards minimally compliant set of measures, various
items are changed to just reach the next increment of energy performance (e.g,
10%, 15% and 20% better than Title 24). In this study, the design choices are
based on many years of experience with architects, mechanical engineers and
builders as well general knowledge of the relative incremental costs of most
measures
(c) A minimum and maximum range of incremental costs of added energy measures
is established by a variety of research means. Site energy in KWh and Therms is
calculated for each run to establish the annual energy savings, energy cost
savings and C02-equivalent reductions in greenhouse gases.
(d) Different metrics are generated to illustrate different aspects of cost-effectiveness
by building type and climate zone.
The goal of these case studies is to provide relatively real-world order-of-magnitude
results for local jurisdictions attempting to understand and calibrate energy and cost
impacts of local energy ordinances or local green building ordinances. In this limited
study, no attempt has been made to gather statistically significant data that can be
applied to all new construction projects and thereby determine the macro-effects of
specific policy decisions.

2.1 Single Family House Case Studies
House Desiqns. A typical single family home design is modeled to just meet the overall
TDV energy performance requirements of 2008 Title 24 standards using a 2008
Standards research version of Micropas. Incremental improvements to building energy
efficiency measures then are made to reduce TDV energy to:
(a) 10% less than the 2008 standards;
(b) 15% less than the 2008 standards; and,
(c) 20% less than the 2008 standards.
The following measures were first evaluated so that the house design just meets the
2008 standards in each climate zone.

2.2 Low-rise Multi-family Building Case Study
BuildinQ DesiQn. A typical 8-unit, 2-story low-rise multi-family building is modeled to just
meet the overall TDV energy performance requirements of 2008 Title 24 standards using
a 2008 Standards research version of Micropas. Incremental improvements to building
energy efficiency measures then are made to reduce TDV energy to:
(a) 10% less than the 2008 standards;
(b) 15% less than the 2008 standards;
(c) 20% less than the 2008 standards; and,
The following measures were first evaluated so that the house design just meets the
2008 standards in each climate zone as follows:

Eneroy Measures Needed to Exceed the 2008 Standards
Under two different scenarios, (A) and (B), the following energy features have been
modified from the above Title 24 set of measures so that the proposed design uses 10%,
15% and 20% less TDV energy than the 2008 standards. The added first cost of that
measure compared with the equivalent 2008 Title 24 design measure is listed to the right,
and the sum of all incremental costs is listed.

3.0 Cost Effectiveness
The tables in this section are based upon the following:
. Incremental site electricity (kWh) and natural gas (therms) saved per year as
calculated using the state-approved energy compliance software;
. Average utility rates for residential buildings: $0.187/kWh for electricity and
$1.14/therm for natural gas (in constant dollars); for nonresidential buildings:
$0.194/kWh for electricity and $0.944/therm for natural gas (in constant dollars)
. The assumption that there is no change (i.e., no inflation or deflation) in utility rates in
constant dollars over time
. The assumption that there is no increase in summer temperatures even though most
scientific studies predict that global climate change will increase temperatures in the
Western U.S. which will increase air conditioning energy use
. Simple Payback includes neither the cost of financing nor any external cost
associated with global climate change
A set of energy measures is generally considered cost-effectiveness if the payback is
less than the average useful life of those measures. In residential construction, for
example, most energy measures will typically last at least 15 years, and most will not
function beyond 30 years. So energy measures with a payback of around 15 years or
less would usually be cost-effective, and a payback beyond 30 years usually would not.
Paybacks between 15 and 30 years may be cost-effective depending on the weighted
average useful life of the measures selected.
Also note that paybacks depend on the specific selection of energy measures, how they
perform in a specific building design in a particular climate zone, and what the first costs
are for those measures. The data summarized here is intended to be only illustrative, not
comprehensive or definitive, in demonstrating the scale of typical results and the
variability of results depending on the selection of energy measures and assumed first
costs.

4.0 Policv Recommendations
Performance vs. Prescriptive Approach
While some local energy ordinances have in rare instances provided prescriptive options
for local nonresidential envelope and lighting energy requirements, the performance
approach has been implemented in all local ordinances for residential and nonresidential
buildings as the most effective and cost-effective way to achieve higher levels of building
energy efficiency. Rather than selecting specific energy measures as required, it is better
to have the building industry determine how to reach energy-equivalence with the+
required efficiency level using the performance method. This is the approach used in a
large variety of applications such as:
. Utility incentive programs
. State tax credits for solar PV systems (NSHP program)
. GreenPoint Rated green building system
. LEED green building system
. Local energy ordinances
. Multi-family affordable housing federal tax credits
. Energy Star homes
. Federal energy efficiency tax credits
. HERS Phase 2 for Existing and New Homes (2010)
Conversely, we strongly recommend against a local ordinance including required
prescriptive measures that can be modeled in the performance method.
Certified Energy Plans Examiners (CEPEs)
The California Association of Building Energy Consultants (CABEC) sponsors and
administers the Certified Energy Plans Examiner (CEPE) program for the Residential and
Nonresidential Standards. CEPE candidates must pass an examination to demonstrate
knowledge of the applicable standards. Starting in 2009, they must also agree to share
electronic files with authorized enforcement personnel.
We recommend that local ordinances include a requirement within the ordinance or
administratively require that the energy analysis and documentation either be prepared
by an individual with the current applicable CEPE credential or that the Title 24 report be
plan checked by a CEPE.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA
AMENDING CHAPTER 15.26 OF THE CHULA VISTA
MUNICIPAL CODE AND ADDING SECTION
15.26.030, INCREASED ENERGY EFFICIENCY
STANDARDS
The City Council of the City of Chula Vista does ordain as follows:
SECTION I. Findings. The City Council finds as follows:
I. Modifications to the California Building Standards and Building Energy
Efficiency Standards, as detailed in this Ordinance, are reasonably necessary due
to local climatic conditions. As a result of high summer ambient temperatures and
periods of heat waves, average load demand and peak load demand of energy
used in Chula Vista is an important factor concerning public safety and adverse
economic impacts of power outages or power reductions. Reduction of total and
peak energy use, as a result of incremental energy conservation measures required
by this Ordinance, will have local and regional benefits in the cost-effective
reduction of eJ;1ergy costs for the building owner, additional available system
energy capacity, and a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.
2. The increased energy efficiency standards required by Section 15.26.030 will
require the diminution of energy consumption levels permitted by the 2008
Building Energy Efficiency Standards and are determined to be cost effective
based on a cost-effectiveness study by Gabel Associates, LLC.
SECTION I!. That Chapter 15.26 of the Chula Vista Municipal Code is hereby amended
to read as follows:
Chapter 15.26
ENERGY CODE
Sections:
15.26.010 California Energy Code adopted by reference.

MUNICIPAL CODE AND ADDING SECTION
15.26.030, INCREASED ENERGY EFFICIENCY
STANDARDS
The City Council of the City ofChula Vista does ordain as follows:
SECTION I. Findings. The City Council finds as follows:
I. Modifications to the California Building Standards and Building Energy
Efficiency Standards, as detailed in this Ordinance, are reasonably necessary due
to local climatic conditions. As a result of high summer ambient temperatures and
periods of heat waves, average load demand and peak load demand of energy
used in Chula Vista is an important factor concerning public safety and adverse
economic impacts of power outages or power reductions. Reduction of total and
peak energy use, as a result of incremental energy conservation measures required
by this Ordinance, will have local and regional benefits in the cost-effective
reduction of energy costs for the building owner, additional available system
energy capacity, and a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.
2. The increased energy efficiency standards required by Section 15.26.030 will
require the diminution of energy consumption levels permitted by the 2008
Building Energy Efficiency Standards and are determined to be cost effective
based on a cost-effectiveness study by Gabel Associates, LLC.
