DISCUSSION
The City of Chula Vista’s Smart Cities Strategic Action Plan was adopted to serve as a roadmap and outline goals, objectives and initiatives that will help the City achieve its smart city vision. The Smart City Strategic Action Plan is built around ten pri mary objectives that are organized into four overarching goals. Each objective is supported by a number of initiatives and action steps. City staff continues to work with department heads and key stakeholders on progress towards implementation of the various initiatives. Since the Council adopted the Action Plan in September 2017, department heads and their teams across the City have accomplished the following key milestones:
Public Safety:
The Chula Vista Police Department (CVPD) in 2017 completed the transition to a modern computer- aided dispatch (CAD) system , a critical component of the 9 -1-1 emergency service system. The PremierOne CAD system replaced an outdated 20-year-old CAD system, giving the city's emergency responders state-of-the-art tools that will improve law enforcement service in the community.
In 2018, with strong support from the community, CVPD began deploying drones from the rooftop of the police department headquarters to 911 calls and other reports of emergency incidents, such as crimes in progress, fires, traffic accidents, and reports of dangerous subjects. In 2019, CVPD was authorized to fly Beyond Visual Line of Sight allowing the drones to fly up to 3 miles in any direction from the launch site (within city limits). In March 2021, CVPD again made history as the first in the United States to obtain Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) authorization to launch fr om anywhere in the city. DFR now has city-wide coverage and can cover much of the geographical area of Chula Vista. To date the DFR Program drones have responded to over 8,500 separate emergencies and the program continues to serve the residents of Chula V ista by reducing response times, increasing safety, and providing real-time information for better informed decisions.

In addition, CVPD is the first and only police department in the nation to test and successfully use Live911. This revolutionary software – developed in partnership with HigherGround – allows both the teleoperator and officers in the field the ability to listen live to incoming 911 calls in real time. The audio of a call between a citizen and a dispatcher contains critical information ; the teleoperator is able to launch based upon what he or she hears during the ongoing 911 emergency and is often able to have the drone arrive on scene before the officers on the ground even realize the incident is occurring. This Live911 system supports the already robust and efficient CVPD police dispatching system, providing only an added layer of efficiency to serve the community.
CVPD is proud to be one of the first law enforcement agencies in the United States to participate in the White House Open Data Initiative. In addition, CVPD launched the CVPD Open Data Portal to stay engaged with the community and empower the residents and visitors to learn more about what we do to keep our community safe. Dashboards are the latest technology for data sharin g allowing Chula Vista residents to access content in an interactive way.
Traffic & Engineering
The City developed and adopted its first ever Traffic Signal Communications Master Plan to help guide the City’s toward effective modernization of a comprehensive traffic signal communications network which will support cutting-edge transportation systems.
Advanced Traffic Controllers: In the fall of 2018, the City of Chula Vista upgraded 29 intersections along Telegraph Canyon Road, H Street, and Otay Lakes Road with adaptive traffic signal controllers.
These smart traffic signal systems can “see” approaching vehicles from much farther away, and they can automatically adjust the duration of green and red light cycles based on real-time traffic patterns.
The goal is to reduce travel times, improve safety, and to reduce emissions attributable to vehicles idling at red lights.
Active Transportation Plan: The City of Chula Vista developed an Active Transportation Plan (ATP) to help guide future pedestrian and bicycle improvements. The 2020 ATP Master Plan was approved by City Council in May 2020. The ATP builds off the City’s recent efforts, such as the Pe destrian Connectivity Plan and the Bikeway Master Plan and proposes ways to accommodate emerging technologies such as scooters and electric bike share.
Shared Micro-mobility Device Pilot Program : The Shared Micro -Mobility Device Pilot Program was launched in 2018 as a one-year pilot permit program to provide new mobility options for the residents and visitors of the City of Chula Vista. This Program will assist the City with monitoring and evaluating the deployment and operations of shared micro -mobility e quipment for permitted operators that are issued a permit under the Program.
Drones in Engineering and Surveying: Chula Vista Engineering Department began using drones in 2017 for surveying numerous things such as pavement, roadways, storm drains and for construction projects. Chula Vista is the first city in the county to use drones in their engineering projects.
Broadway Corridor Improvements (2021) : Chula Vista is building new bike lanes on Broadway from C Street on the north end to Main Street on the south end. As part of the Corridor improvements, Chula Vista is also installing a variety of traffic signal upgrades to smooth the flow of cars, bicycles and pedestrians along and across Broadway by responding and adjusting to real -time traffic conditions. These upgrades include:
o New advanced transportation computer controllers at all signalized intersections o Upgraded traffic signals at the intersections of Broadway and G and Broadway and F P a g e | 4
o Video detection systems that provide accurate counts of vehicles and bicycles traveling through key intersections
o Traffic monitoring cameras that allow traffic engineers to study traffic patterns at specific times of day
o Dedicated short-range communications (DSRC) antennas that will enable future vehicle- to-infrastructure (V2X) communications to support autonomous vehicles o Bluetooth sensors that anonymously measure the time it takes to travel between certain points along the corridor
o Fiber-optic cable to support advanced traffic signal communications
Autonomous Vehicles Research: In 2017, the U.S. Department of Transportation designated Chula Vista and the broader San Diego region as one of 10 Autonomous Vehicle Proving Grounds in the U.S., and one of only two in the state of California. The region was recognized for its ability to demonstrate safety planning, willingness to share information with industry and government partners, and commitment to compliance with all applicable laws, regulations and policies. Chula Vista has worked with the San Diego Association of Gover nments (SANDAG) and California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) to establish the San Diego Regional Proving Ground (RPG), intended to be a real-world laboratory for validating autonomous vehicle technology. The RPG includes local streets and roads in Chula Vista, state Route 125 and Interstate 15.
Development Services
Construction and Development Data Online Services: The City of Chula Vista launched online services to provide a quick and simple way for residents and businesses to access information about zoning. These include the following:
o Chula Vista e -zoning: A tool to simplify site selection process and shows where your business can be located and a tool to calculate fees for the permits and licenses you’ll need to open or expand a business
o Online Permit Services - Accela Citizen Access : Internet program for building permit research, inspection scheduling and issuance of minor residential permits (e.g. electric meter reset, miscellaneous wiring, water heater replacement, water line repair or alteration, gas meter reset, gas line repair or alteration, installation or replacement of FAU and A/C units)
Public Works
ACT Chula Vista app: Residents can now use ACT Chula Vista to submit requests for non-emergency service via mobile application and web tool. ACT Chula Vista allows citizens to report non-emergency issues, monitor progress and view updates. The new system eliminates the same request being submitted multiple times and allows staff to work more efficiently by filtering r equests regarding type, status or department assigned.
The City received an award from the American Planning Association (APA) Technology Division for its Smart City Strategic Action Plan announced at the 2018 APA National Conference.

The City will continue to ensure that our smart city initiatives are sustained by long-term stakeholder engagement across our region.
Citywide Technology Oversight Policy
A key goal of Chula Vista’s Smart City Strategic Action Plan approved by Council in September 2017, is to continue efforts to become a more open and transparent City. In order to support this goal, the City has set an objective to maximize the use of data and analytics to improve city services and increase public access to city information. This also includes ensuring that all new technology, including public data and information collected is stored, managed and utilized in a secure, transparent and safe wa y. The development of a Citywide Technology Oversight Policy (Policy) is an effective way for the city to ensure the safe and effective use of new technologies and protect public data. The Policy will also help to advance the City Council priorities of improving the city’s policies for adoption of new technologies, public data management, security, and privacy. This effort will include the establishment of a City task force of key stakeholders to guide the development of the Policy.
Background:
As part the smart city efforts, Chula Vista continues to adopt new technologies to improve city services and operations. Similarly, the City also collects different kinds of information from the public in order to conduct City operations, provide the public with important services, and improve the efficiency and effectiveness of our operations. The City of Chula Vista places great importance in protecting the personal information we collect from the public. We are committed to providing greater transparency as we adopt new technologies.
As part of our deeper commitment to good data practices and data stewardship, the City will be developing a Citywide Technology Oversight Policy (Policy) to serve as a guide for all City departments. This Policy will apply to the adoption of any new city technology. It will also apply to the collection, use, disclosure, sharing and retention of all forms of data, digital information (including video), and personal information we obtain from individuals interacting with City departments. The Policy will outline guidelines for adopting new technology within the City of Chula Vista. The Policy will also outline how data monitoring should be conducted to ensure organizational data is accurate, accessible, consistent and protected . The Policy will establish who is responsible for information by department, discipline and type of data and will specify procedures to be used to manage it. As part of this effort, the city will establish a task force of diverse key stakeholders to guide the development of the Policy.
Why is important for Chula Vista to adopt a Citywide Technology Oversight Policy?
The Citywide Technology Oversight Policy will:
Establish guidelines and standards to effectively protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of City of Chula Vista data, digital information and technology systems Increase public trust and confidence by making City data management policies and processes more transparent and easily accessible to City residents so they can better understand what the city is doing to protect their data.
Establish a City Task Force of diverse stakeholders focused on technology privacy and innovation that will help educate the public and guide the technology policy implementation for the City of Chula Vista P a g e | 9
Improving the dialogue between City residents and the City by allowing for a better understanding of data collection, data use and management services the City provides, while at the same time gathering input on what matters most to Chula Vista residents. This will be a key role of the stakeholder task force Develop effective measures to protect the City of Chula Vista and its clients from illicit use of City of Chula Vista technology systems and related data. This includes soliciting input from experts and key stakeholders about the necessary “checks & balances” before adoption of any new technologies.

DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and has determined that it is not site-specific and consequently, the real property holdings of the City Council members do not cr eate a disqualifying real property-related financial conflict of interest under the Political Reform Act (Cal. Gov't Code § 87100, et seq.).
Staff is not independently aware and has not been informed by any City Council member, of any other fact that may constitute a basis for a decision-maker conflict of interest in this matter.
CURRENT-YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
The total costs for this project will not exceed $130,000
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
P a g e | 11
Because this is a policy, its adoption will not have a direct fiscal impact. It is anticipated that when individual implementation strategies or related projects are further developed and presented to City Council for consideration, any specific positive or negative fiscal impacts will be identified.
