SUMMARY
City staff is requesting that $3,982 in unanticipated revenue from a SDG&E refund be appropriated
to the Construction & Repair operating budget. The increased funding will allow staff to better
maintain and manage energy-related systems in municipal buildings and facilities. These efforts
help reduce the City's long-term utility costs and contribute to reducing citywide greenhouse gas or
"carbon" emissions.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Development Services Director has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the proposed
action(s)qualifies for a Class 1 categorical exemption pursuant to Section 15301 [Existing
Facilities] of the State CEQA Guidelines because it consists of maintenance and minor repair of
existing buildings and facilities. Thus, no further environmental review is necessary.
RECOMMENDATION
Council adopt the resolution.
BOARDS/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
Not applicable.

DISCUSSION
The budget amendment would appropriate $3,982 in unanticipated revenue from a San Diego
Gas & Electric (SDG&E) refund to the Construction & Repair operating budget. The "Tax
Reduction Act" (part of the federal stimulus package) lowered the income tax component that
SDG&E applies to certain construction-related jobs requiring upfront payment by their
customers. As such, the City of Chula Vista received a $3,982 refund for two past energy
infrastructure projects at the Public Works Corp Yard and the Surrey Place Sewer Pump Station.
The requested budget amendment would provide additional resources for the maintenance and
repair of the City's numerous buildings and facilities. Proper, consistent maintenance helps to
ensure that facilities are operating efficiently and to extend the life of building systems such as
HVAC, lighting, and pumps. As a result, these maintenance activities help Chula Vista reduce
its monthly utility costs and lower citywide greenhouse gas or "carbon" emissions.
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 foundrn California Code of Regulations section
18704.2(a)(1) is not applicable to this decision.
CURRENT YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
The $3,982 appropriation has no net-impact to the General Fund, because these one-time
revenues will offset the one-time expenditures.
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
The 53,982 appropriation to the Public Works Department budget is a one-time activity, so there
are no ongoing fiscal impacts associated with the budget amendment. Furthermore, the
additional maintenance activities funded by the one-time appropriation will contribute to
lowering long-term municipal energy costs.
