Document Guide
The budget document is organized in a manner to facilitate a general understanding of the City’s fiscal status, to present management’s assessment of major issues and, finally, to present the plan for allocating resources to address those issues during the coming fiscal year. The budget document is organized as follows: Budget Message, General Fund Summary, Other Funds, Capital Improvement Program, Measure A Sales Tax Summary, Measure P Sales Tax Summary, Summary Tables, and Appendix.
General Fund
The General Fund budget funds the day-to-day operations of most City services. This section of the document provides an overview of General Fund revenues and expenditures, staffing changes, and budgetary trends. This section is followed by Department Summary reports that include departmental mission statements, operating budgets, staffing and significant budget adjustments and service impacts for each General Fund department.
Significant budget adjustments are defined as: 1) additions and deletions of positions during the budget development process; and 2) increases or decreases in revenues and expenditures categories in the amount of $250,000 or greater�
Other Funds
In order to facilitate understanding of the different City funding sources, this portion of the document has been organized into the following major categories: Capital Project Funds, Debt Service Funds, Fleet Fund, Development Services Fund, Sewer Funds, and Other Funds. Detailed descriptions and funding are provided for each fund. Due to various legal restrictions, these funds are limited in their uses and generally cannot be applied to fund day-to-day City operations such as Police and Fire public safety services.
Capital Improvement Program
This section provides an overview of the City’s Capital Improvement Program for the coming fiscal year. The Capital Improvement Program accounts for the acquisition, rehabilitation, or construction of major capital facilities, infrastructure, or equipment. More detailed information about each capital project, project status, expenditures to date, current year appropriations, and future funding, can be found in the Capital Improvement Program budget document�
Measure A Sales Tax Fund
The voter approved one-half cent Public Safety Sales Tax related income and expenses are budgeted in a separate fund. The Measure A Fund Summary provides the allocation summary for the coming fiscal year.
Measure P Sales Tax Fund
The City established a separate fund to track and account for income and expenses related to the voter approved one- half cent Sales Tax. The Measure P Fund Summary provides a summary of the allocation for the coming fiscal year.
Summary Tables
The Summary Tables provide a quick way to view budget allocations by department (or fund) and expenditure category, revenues by fund and type, and Council authorized positions by department.

Budgeted Funds
A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The City, like other state and local governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. All the funds of the City can be divided into three categories: governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds.
Not all City funds are appropriated, or “budgeted. ” Fiduciary funds are typically not subject to budget requirements as funds contain resources held by the City but belonging to individuals or entities other than the City. The Successor Agency to the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Chula Vista is an instance of a budgeted fiduciary fund.

Major Funds
The City’s fund financial statements provide detailed information about each of the City’s most significant funds, called Major Funds. The concept of Major Funds was established by Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement 34 and replaces the concept of combining like funds and presenting them in total. Instead, each Major Fund is presented individually, with all Non-major Funds summarized and presented in a single column of the City’s fund financial statements.
Major funds are funds with revenues, expenditures/expenses, assets, or liabilities which are at least 10 percent of corresponding totals for all governmental or enterprise funds and at least 5 percent of the aggregate amount for all governmental and enterprise funds.
The following table represents the major funds reported in the City’s Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) for Fiscal Year 2023�

City of Chula Vista
Proposed Budget FY 2025
Budget Message → LETTER FROM THE CITY MANAGER
5 Office of the City Manager
May 7, 2023
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
I am pleased to submit for your consideration the City Manager proposed operating budget and capital improvement budget for fiscal year 2024-25. City staff developed a budget that is responsive to community needs and continues to fund and enhance services most important to our residents. The proposed budget for the coming year anticipates slow economic growth, infrastructure investments, and commercial and residential development throughout the City. We will closely monitor the state of the economy and make fiscally sound decisions to prepare for any future uncertainty�
Substantial progress has been made on major City projects, including groundbreaking on the first City library since 1995 in Millenia, construction on the Gaylord Pacific Resort and Convention Center in on schedule with anticipated completion by May 2025, and we continue to make progress on the University-Innovation District with academic planning underway as well as envisioning of an initial phase of development. This year, we look forward to embarking on a new Strategic Plan that captures the rich diversity and uniqueness of Chula Vista while creating a unifying vision for the future of our City. We will continue supporting innovative housing and mixed-use projects and investing in the operations and security of our technology�
The City continues to plan for increased infrastructure projects and increased public safety expenditures, largely due to the passage of sales tax Measure P in 2016 and Measure A in 2018. This proposed budget includes $10.8 million from Measure P to fund improvements or repairs to parks, recreation centers, drainage, sidewalk repair and other facilities. Measure P will expire in 2027 and the Long-Term Financial Plan reflects that. Measure A continues to support ongoing public safety expenditures, resulting in a total of 120 additional public safety positions to date.
This is 41 positions more than initially projected when the measure was approved by voters.
Addressing homelessness and its impact continue to be a priority and with the opening of the City’s first bridge shelter. We are steadily increasing the tools available to assist the unsheltered. The City has purchased the former Palomar Motel and will be leveraging federal aid to convert this site into permanent supportive housing and a future safe parking lot. This is in addition to the critical federal and state funds the City provides to social service providers in the community and the continued implementation of the 2021-2019 Housing Element.
Budget Goals
The City continually strives to find new ways to maximize limited resources to deliver high quality services to our community. In preparing the General Fund budget for fiscal year 2024-25, Staff focused on the following budget development goals:
■ Fund the highest level of municipal services possible based on available resources. ■ Enhance core community services and strategically add operational and administrative support positions. ■ Make significant progress on key programs and projects in support of the City’s Strategic Plan and University efforts�
■ Incorporate conservative revenue projections in the development of the proposed budget. ■ Safeguard Measure P investments in infrastructure through proper maintenance allocations. ■ Avoid the use of reserves to balance the budget or fund ongoing commitments.

BUDGET PROCESS
City of Chula Vista
Proposed Budget FY 2025
Budget Message → BUDGET PROCESS
9 Budget Process
The City of Chula Vista’s budget is created in conjunction with City Council, City staff, and City residents. The budget process begins each year with development of the preliminary base budget in January and is completed with the City Council adoption of the budget in May.
The fiscal year 2025 budget cycle began with a preliminary base budget developed by the Finance Department’s Budget and Analysis staff in January 2024. The base budget accounts for the normal operating costs of the City.
Through April 2024, Finance staff worked with departments to refine the base budgets and incorporate departmental changes to align the budgets with anticipated department operations for the coming year.
The budget development process provided City departments the opportunity to recommend budget adjustments based on department operational requests and/or one-time funding requests. Requests are reviewed by City Administration and are included in the City Manager’s Proposed Budget.
While Finance staff was developing the operating budget, Engineering & Capital Projects staff worked to develop and finalize the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) budget.
Finance staff will present the City Council with a balanced General Fund budget on May 7, 2024. At this meeting, the Council can accept the fiscal year 2025 City Manager’s proposed operating budget as their own, with minor changes in appropriations, and set the public hearing date of May 21, 2024, prior to Council acting on the adoption of the budget�
Copies of the Proposed Budget were made available for public review in the Office of the City Clerk and the City’s website ten (10) days prior to the public hearing.
As set forth in the City Charter, at any meeting after the adoption of the budget, the City Council may amend or supplement the budget by motion adopted by affirmative votes of at least four (4) members. Throughout the year, the Finance Department provides the City Council with quarterly financial status reports comparing expenditure and revenue projections to budgeted amounts, highlighting any variances, and recommending corrective actions as necessary�
Budget Strategy
The City’s budgeting process is built around the objectives outlined in the City’s Strategic Plan. The Plan’s framework assists Staff in weighing the community’s priorities against the limited resources available to achieve strategic goals.
City Strategic Plan
The City’s Strategic Plan is an important management tool to guide operations, assessing the current environment and envisioning the future, to increase effectiveness, organizational commitment and consensus of City strategies and objectives. The Strategic Plan provides a comprehensive framework that ensures priorities set by the Council are clear to all employees and that the City government is accountable to meeting community needs by setting objectives to meet identified goals. The City has set five core goals critical to achieving our shared vision of ensuring a vibrant and sustainable quality of life for Chula Vista residents and businesses:

11 Consistency with Financial Policies & Procedures
It is the expectation and general understanding of the City Council and the citizens of Chula Vista that City Staff conduct financial affairs in a thoughtful and prudent manner. Several financial policies have been established to provide the direction and limits within which the City is to fulfill its fiscal responsibilities. The FY 2024-25 Proposed Budget conforms with the requirements of the City’s Finance Department Policies and Procedures. An overview of compliance with major policy sections are described below. See the Appendix for additional details on the City’s Fiscal and Investment Policies.
General Financial Policies (City Council Policy 100-01) Budget Development
The FY 2024-25 budget development process included opportunities for public input, occurring in open and publicly accessible forums, via budget workshops and public hearings held before City Council which accept comments from the public�
The City has also utilized a ten-year financial plan and a long-term financial forecast model to promote orderly spending patterns, engage in long-range planning, and reduce the time and resources spent preparing annual budgets.
Balanced Budget
By policy, City Council must adopt a balanced General Fund budget with projected operating revenues fully covering projected operating expenditures. The FY 2024-25 Proposed Budget is a balanced budget. Operating revenues are budgeted to support the operating expenditures, including debt service, for the 2024-25 fiscal year.
Budget Development Milestones
■ November 28, 2023

12 Fund Balance and Reserves
During the close of each fiscal year, actual fund revenues are compared against actual fund expenditures. When revenues exceed expenditures in a fiscal year, a positive fund balance will result (surplus) and add to the historical, accumulated fund balance. When expenditures exceed revenues in a fiscal year, a negative fund balance would result (deficit) and reduce the fund balance. An accumulated positive fund balance may also be restricted/earmarked for usage or unrestricted as to its use. For instance, Council has set forth policies to maintain minimum fund balances as reserves, with funds set aside for particular circumstances or purposes, such as catastrophic events or economic downturns.
The FY 2024-25 Proposed Budget maintains the minimum unreserved, undesignated fund balance in the General Fund as established by City Council Policy 220-03 (General Fund Reserves – Fiscal Health Plan) of no less than 15% of the annual operating budget for FY 2024-25. The FY 2024-25 Proposed Budget also maintains the minimum unreserved, undesignated fund balance in the sewer enterprise fund as established by City Council Policy 220-04 (Sewer Service Revenue Fund Reserve). See historical reserve levels in the All-Funds Summary section�

15 Economic Overview
1 UCLA Anderson March 2024 Economic Outlook, March 13, 2024. 2 US Bureau of Economic Analysis, February 5, 2024 Gross Domestic Product, Fourth Quarter 2023 https:/ /www.bea.gov/ 3 2024 Economic Outlook: 10 considerations for the US Economy, December 22, 2023. https:/ /www.jpmorgan.com/insights/outlook/economic- outlook/economic-trends
This section of the budget document outlines economic indicators that impact City revenues and expenditures forecasts and assumptions. Several sources of economic data and research are utilized in the development of the City’s budget and forecasts, such as the Federal Reserve, U.S. Census Bureau, State offices and UCLA Anderson School of Management.
National
In the UCLA Anderson Forecast from March 2024, Anderson economists profess the possibility of a recession is unlikely in the near term based on expansionary fiscal policy and a strong consumer base.1 Inflation continues to come down and is projected to stabilize in 2025, with the large interest rate increases ending and small decreases on the horizon. Consumer confidence remains strong despite the reinstatement of student loan payments and an end to the significant increase in transfer payments related to the pandemic. Unemployment remains low, at 3.9%, and growth is expected to return the trend of 2.5% in 2025 and 2026. The Anderson Forecast expects a recession is an eventuality, but beyond the Forecast period. Some risks to the Forecast are conflicts in the Middle East and Russia-Ukraine, as well as political gridlock in an election year.
The annualized growth rate for gross domestic product (GDP), a metric for estimating the size of a country’s economy, declined in the first two quarters of 2023 but increased significantly in the third quarter, by 4.9%, before ending at
3.3% in the fourth quarter.2 The deceleration of GDP in late 2023 reflects slowdowns in business investment, federal spending, and consumer spending. Economic growth is likely to continue to show signs of both slight expansion and slight deceleration in 2024, demonstrating a “soft landing” in avoiding an economic downturn or overheating and increasing inflation.3
City of Chula Vista
Proposed Budget FY 2025
Budget Message → ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
16 Interest Rates
The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), part of the Federal Reserve, is committed to Congress’s mandate to promote maximum employment, stable prices, and moderate long-term interest rates. During the past two years, the FOMC increased interest rates several times, to the current 5.25 - 5.5% rate, the highest level since 2006. 1 The FOMC signaled potential additional adjustments to the target rate range until labor market conditions improve and inflation returns to 2% for the long-term, which the FOMC admitted would take longer than expected to reach its price-stability goals�
The “federal funds rate” established by the FOMC is important as it sets the interest rate at which banks lend money to other banks to maintain overnight reserves of funds. As a result of the federal rate increase, the cost to banks for lending increases and passed on to businesses and consumers on other borrowing, such as for business investments, credit cards, cars, mortgages and other bank loans. Policymakers will be monitoring whether this tightening of monetary policy too quickly could hinder economic growth. Overall, raising of rates signals a confidence in the U.S. economy, supported by low unemployment rates.
Labor
The labor market has moderated, with the gap between labor supply and demand diminishing. In the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics report from February 2024, the national unemployment rate was 3.9%. Job gains were notable in healthcare, government, food services, social assistance and transportation and warehousing. This low unemployment rate will likely motivate the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates in late 2024. ■ City Impacts: For the City of Chula Vista, filling vacancies of positions continues to be a challenge due to retirements, competition with other agencies, and a misalignment of job requirements with the labor pool skillset.
This trend is factored into the calculation of salary savings, i.e., the amount of expected savings in personnel services costs due to vacancies.
Consumption
Despite a low national unemployment rate, consumers continue to exhibit a dimmer outlook of the economy than conditions would suggest. Interest rate increases and inflation over the last two years have been felt and relief is not perceived on the horizon.
■ City Impacts: Consumer confidence will impact consumption, particularly the City’s collection of sales tax. For Fiscal Year 2025, the City anticipates a moderation of sales tax growth; sales tax revenue is described in the General Fund Revenue Summary section of this document.
Housing
Aside from the Federal Reserve’s focus on labor and inflation, housing data remains a leading indicator of U.S. economic activity. Strong demand sent home prices soaring during the months after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the Federal Reserve’s recent increases in the federal interest rate will continue to increase interest rates on home mortgages, in theory leading to decreased demand. The average interest rate for a fixed 30-year mortgage was 6.87% in March 2024, up from just under 3% in April 2021.2 Single-family homes continue to be unaffordable for many buyers and supply continues to slow as material, labor and capital costs climb� According to the U.S. Census Economic Indicators report from February 2024, nationally sales of new single-family houses were up 1.8% in January compared to the prior year, despite elevated mortgage rates and higher prices, at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of $661,000.3 The median sales price of new homes sold in January 2024 was $420,700 while the average price was $534,300.3

17 State of California
UCLA Anderson also prepares a California specific economic forecast as part of its quarterly updates. In their March 2024 update, Anderson projects the state’s economy will face budget deficits within a growing economy.1 State revenues are impacted particularly by the recent downturn in technology sector initial public offerings (IPOs) and housing market capital gains. Some one-time and planned future expenditures will be postponed. However, with the accumulated reserves or “rainy day” funds and budgeting strategies, the impact on the California economy as a whole will be quite small on its growth rate.
California’s GDP grew at a 3.8% compound annual rate from the third quarter of 2023, faster than the U.S. as a whole.1 Some challenges to the state are the homelessness crisis, out-migration to other states, as well as immigration at the southern border�
Unemployment is projected to decrease through the Forecast, from 4.6% in 2024, 3.8% in 2025, to 3.9% in 2026.1 The State of California’s Employment Development Department (EDD) regularly releases a “Labor Market Review” publication. In the February 2024 edition, the EDD reported a 5.3% unemployment rate for the State of California.2 The unemployment rate increased from the 4.5% unemployment rate one year ago in February 2023.
Housing stock is expected to increase through the Forecast due to continued strong demand and new accessory dwelling unit provisions, even despite higher mortgage interest rates which are influenced by Federal Reserve action. Existing home sales continue to be depressed as homeowners sit on their properties with existing very low interest rates. Construction labor will continue to constrain growth in the supply of housing.
County of San Diego
Unemployment: The EDD also publishes reports on countywide unemployment data. In its San Diego metropolitan area press release from March 2024, the unemployment rate in San Diego County was 4.7% in February 2024, up from 3.7% one year ago in February 2023�3
Inflation: The Bureau of Labor Statistics’ consumer price index for urban customers (CPI-U) illustrates the change in the prices of a standard list of goods and services. Based on the March 2024 CPI-U, the County of San Diego experienced a
3.6% increase in prices, as compared to one year ago, paid for the standard set of goods and services which is slightly more than the average United States City of 3.5%.4 Higher prices for shelter and energy were major contributors to the CPI change in the San Diego region.
Housing: The San Diego Association of Realtors (SDAR) reported the median home price of a detached home in San Diego County was $890,000 in March 2024, an increase of 7.9% compared to one year ago5� The increase in home prices demonstrates the strong demand for real estate in San Diego and lack of supply.
Gasoline: In San Diego County, the average price for a gallon of gasoline is consistently significantly higher than the national average, particularly due to industry regulation and state taxes on gasoline consumption. Prices have recently began to increase once again, increasing from $4.94 per gallon in March 2023 to $5.37 per gallon in March 2024.6 1 UCLA Anderson, March 2024 Economic Outlook https:/ /www.anderson.ucla.edu/news-and-events/press-releases/ucla-anderson-forecast- sees-restrained-2024-growth-no-recession

23 General Fund Reserves
The City of Chula Vista City Council Policy 220-03 established three General Fund Reserves, with a total recommended minimum reserve level for the three reserves of 23.0% of the following year’s Adopted General Fund budgeted operating expenditures, excluding Measure A and P Sales Taxes. With the issuance of pension obligations bonds (POBs) in November 2020, the Policy was amended to include additional reserves.
The General Fund Reserve Policy is established to ensure that the City’s finances are managed in a manner that will (1) continue to provide for the delivery of quality services, (2) maintain and enhance service delivery as the community grows in accordance with the General Plan, (3) minimize or eliminate the need to increase taxes and fees because of temporary revenue shortfalls, and (4) establish the reserves necessary to meet known and unknown future obligations and ability to respond to unexpected opportunities.
A brief summary of the uses and minimum/target level for each reserve is as follows:
General Fund Operating Reserve
The General Fund Operating Reserves represent unrestricted resources available for appropriation by the City Council to address extraordinary needs of an emergency nature, such as a major storm drain repair, litigation, settlement costs or an unexpected liability created by Federal and State legislative action. This reserve has a minimum level of no less than fifteen percent (15.0%) of budgeted operating expenditures.
Economic Contingency Reserve
The Economic Contingency Reserves represent monies set aside to mitigate service impacts during a significant downturn in the economy which impacts City revenues such as sales tax and property tax, etc. This reserve has a minimum level of no less than five percent (5.0%) of budgeted operating expenditures.
Catastrophic Event Reserve
The Catastrophic Event Reserves represent monies set aside to fund unanticipated expenses related to major or natural disasters in the City. This reserve has a target level of three percent (3.0%) of budgeted operating expenditures.
Pension & OPEB (Other Post-Employment Benefits) Reserve The Pension & OPEB Reserve sets aside surplus funds and savings from the issuance of pension obligation bonds (POBs) to address future potential pension liability increases and potentially pay off the POBs debt early. The Reserve is to be funded only after funding the 15% minimum reserve level of the General Fund Operating Reserve. Should the fiscal year result in a surplus, such funds will be split between the Pension & OPEB Reserve and the other two reserves, the Economic Contingency Reserve and Catastrophic Event Reserves, until all three reserves are fully funded�
The following chart depicts the General Fund Reserves since fiscal year 2019 as a percentage or the respective budgeted operating expenditures. As the reserve is intended to be a gauge of the General Fund, Measure A and Measure P funding are not included in the calculation of the General Fund Reserves.

24 Pension Obligation Bonds
City Staff, in conjunction with discussions with City Council, explored over several years the use of pension obligation bonds (POBs) to help manage retirement costs. A pension obligation bond is a taxable bond issued to investors, with proceeds utilized to extinguish all or a part of the City’s pension liabilities. These liabilities are termed the “unfunded accrued liability” (UAL) and are due to the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS). The UAL is the shortfall or gap between what the City has in assets and what it will need in assets to fully pay out the benefits that it has promised to retirees under CalPERS.
Issuance of the POBs provides the City several benefits, including: (1) generating cash flow savings to the City through historically low interest rates relative to the CalPERS discount rate assumption; (2) creating a repayment shape for the City’s pension liabilities that increases more gradually than currently mandated by CalPERS; (3) enhancing budget predictability and long-term fiscal sustainability by creating a smoother repayment shape at a lower level; (4) leveraging the projected savings to adequately fund various reserves; and (5) setting aside a portion of the future savings into the Section 115 Trust and Bond Call Fund to mitigate future pension and OPEB cost increases and potentially pay off (redeem) the POBs prior to maturity.
On September 15, 2020, City Council approved the initial legal documents related to a POB and the City and its financing team initiated a validation process in the San Diego County Superior Court. This process concluded on January 11, 2021, with the City refinancing the City’s UAL with CalPERS at historically low interest rates. In February 2021, the City issued approximately $350 million in Pension Obligation Bonds to refund all of the UAL based on the CalPERS Actuarial Valuation as of June 30, 2019.
At issuance, the projected benefit to the City from the 2021 Pension Obligation Bonds issuance was $116 million ($112 million on a present value basis). These savings estimates assume that CalPERS achieves its target rate (7.0% at the time of issuance; updated to 6.8% in July 2021) in the future. Savings will be higher if CalPERS earns more than the target rate and lower if it earns less than the target rate. These savings will be utilized to fund the new Pension Reserve Fund mentioned above, mitigating future fiscal impacts from anticipated CalPERS pension investment return shortfalls.

37 General Fund Expenditure Summary
The fiscal year 2025 Proposed General Fund expenditures budget is $274.1 million, an increase of $15.9 million or 6.2% when compared to the fiscal year 2024 Adopted Budget expenditures budget. Fiscal year 2025 capital improvement projects will be funded primarily by non‐General Fund allocations; see the Capital Improvement Program section of this document�
The fiscal year 2025 Proposed General Fund Budget is balanced, with budgeted expenditures equal to or less than budgeted revenues, plus other available sources. The fiscal year 2025 Proposed Budget continues positive growth in its revenue sources. However, due to multiple factors within the current economy, conservative growth assumptions have been incorporated into the budget projections. The fiscal year 2025 Proposed Budget expenditures focus on maintaining and enhancing current levels of service.

Salary Adjustments
The fiscal year 2025 Proposed Budget for the Personnel Services expense category, which includes salaries and benefits, is $147.3 million or 54% of the budget, a 10.8% increase from the fiscal year 2024 Adopted Budget. The fiscal year 2025 Adopted General Fund Budget includes funding for the annualized costs of negotiated salary increases approved per the current Memoranda of Understanding (MOU) with each of the City’s employee groups.
Rising Retirement Costs
The increase in retirement/pension costs driven by rising California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) contributions is a significant budgetary challenge facing the City. Pension cost increases are the largest financial challenge facing most cities throughout the state and are primarily due to factors outside of the cities’ control, namely actuarial assumptions changes made by CalPERS and below average investment returns. The payments estimated to be made to the retirement system equal approximately $17.6 million or 6.4% of the City’s fiscal year 2025 Proposed Budget. This represents an increase of $2.7 million from the fiscal year 2024 Adopted Budget. This somewhat small increase is due to the issuance of pension obligations bonds (POBs) to fund retirement liabilities discussed in the All- Funds Summary section of this document� To follow is a series of charts related to pension costs. The first chart depicts the actual market rates of return for the CalPERS investment portfolio in relation to the typical 7.0% investment return assumption used by CalPERS in most years�

Due to the payment of the Unfunded Actuarial Liability (UAL) June 30, 2019 balance to CalPERS paid by the proceeds of the City’s issuance of the 2021 Pension Obligation Bonds, retirement costs decreased in fiscal year 2022 and 2023. However, due to increases to the CalPERS unfunded actuarial liability (UAL) costs and scheduled annual debt service payments to service the 2021 Pension Obligation Bonds, retirement costs are anticipated to increase�

The City’s “Flex Plan” is an annual allotment toward the purchase of benefits available under the City’s Cafeteria Benefits Plan for employees to choose health plan coverage. The Flex/health insurance expenses total approximately $15.0 million or 5.5% of the fiscal year 2025 Proposed Budget expenditures. This represents an increase of $0.76 million or 5.3% from the fiscal year 2024 Adopted Budget. The increase in costs is primarily due to the City’s health insurance providers Kaiser and AETNA rate increases in calendar year 2024, based on healthcare utilization rates.

46 transfer out (expense) of the General Fund to the Measure P fund for the same amount less administrative costs.
The fiscal year 2025 Proposed Budget transfer amount is an increase of approximately $1.5 million over the transfer amount included in the fiscal year 2024 Adopted Budget.
Measure A – Approved in June 2018, Measure A is a half-cent sales tax dedicated to addressing public safety (Police and Fire departments) critical needs. Collection of this revenue began in October 2018 and will remain in place; Measure A sales tax does not have a sunset date. The fiscal year 2025 Proposed Budget projects approximately $29.0 million in revenue from this tax and a matching transfer out of the General Fund to the Measure A fund for the same amount less administrative costs. The fiscal year 2025 Proposed transfer amount is an increase of approximately $1.5 million over the transfer amount included in the fiscal year 2024 Adopted Budget.
Although these measures were approved as “general purpose tax” (City has discretion to spend revenues generated for any lawful municipal purpose), the City has established specific uses and spending plans for each revenue stream. Accordingly, the City has set up separate funds to monitor and track the usage and balance of these funds.
The General Fund serves as a pass-through conduit for these funds. The fiscal year 2025 Proposed Budget includes transfers out of approximately $29.0 million to each of the Measure P and Measure A Sales Tax funds. Specific budget information related to these measures is provided in the Measure P and Measure A sections of this document.

The following is a description of the City’s major revenue sources along with a brief discussion of the trends impacting these revenues for fiscal year 2025.
Sales Tax
Sales Tax revenue is estimated at $48 million in the fiscal year Proposed Budget, a change of approximately 4.8% or $2.2 million when compared to the fiscal year 2024 Adopted Budget. With the addition of Measure P and Measure A sales tax revenues, total Sales Tax revenues for fiscal year 2025 are projected to total $106.6 million.

Retailers must register with the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration and pay the state’s sales tax.
Sales taxes are collected at the point of sale and remitted to the State Board of Equalization. Sales tax provides revenue for the State, County, and City. Sales tax is collected at a rate of 8.75% for the City of Chula Vista, allocated based on the following:
State General Fund (includes K-12/Community Colleges) 3.94% Public Safety (Prop 172) 0.50%
County Realignment (Mental Health/Welfare/Public Safety) 1.56% Countywide Transportation Fund 0.25%

Property Tax Dollar Distribution by Jurisdiction
Latest data from Fiscal Year 2021-2022
Property Tax
Property tax revenues comprise the City’s largest discretionary revenue source and accounts for 19.% of the total revenue for the General Fund. This revenue source is estimated at $52 million in the fiscal year 2025 Proposed Budget and represents 7.6% or $3.6 million increase from the fiscal year 2024 Adopted Budget.
Property Tax revenues are based on a 1.0% levy on the assessed value of all real property. Under the terms of Proposition 13, approved in California in 1978, annual increases in the assessed value are capped at a maximum of 2% per year unless there is a change in ownership or new construction. Annual increases in assessed value are limited by either the California Consumer Price Index (CPI) or the 2% cap, whichever is less. Property tax revenues represent a major funding source for the City of Chula Vista as well as other local jurisdictions. Currently, the City of Chula Vista receives approximately 12.6% of each property tax dollar. Distribution of property tax dollars is depicted below.

57 Franchise Fees
Franchise fee revenues are generated from public utility sources such as San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) (2% on gas and 1.25% on electricity), trash collection franchises (20% fee), and cable franchises (5% fee) conducting business within City limits. SDG&E collects the franchise fee from Chula Vista customers based on gas and electricity usage. Revenue growth is projected based on population and inflation factors.
Motor Vehicle License Fees
Motor Vehicle License Fees (MVLF) revenues are generated from vehicle license fees paid with vehicle registrations with the State of California and then allocated to cities and counties. The fiscal year 2025 Proposed Budget MVLF revenues are projected to increase by $1.8 million and represent 11.3% of the total fiscal year 2025 anticipated General Fund revenues.
With the State Budget Act of 2004, the allocation of MVLF revenues to cities and counties was substantially changed.
Since 2006 the majority of MVLF revenues for each city grew essentially in proportion to the growth in the change in gross assessed valuation. Due to the revised formula by the State, 96% of the City’s MVLF revenues fluctuated with changes in assessed values within the City.
The other 4% of MVLF revenues received by the City were based on a per capita formula but has since been shifted per Senate Bill (SB) 89 from June 2011. Provisions in SB89 shifted Vehicle License Fee revenues to fund the state law enforcement grants.

Utility Users Tax
The City of Chula Vista imposes a UUT on the use of telecom at a rate of 4.75% of gross receipts. For natural gas services UUT is applied at a rate of $0.00919 per therm and $0.00250 per kilowatt on electricity services, which equates to a tax of approximately 1% of utility charges. Based on consumer trends and changes in technology, UUT is expected to stay relatively flat, and is budgeted at $3.86 million in fiscal year 2025, a modest increase of $19 thousand over the fiscal year 2024 Adopted Budget.
Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT)
The City of Chula Vista imposes a Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) upon all hotel stays within the City boundaries.
The TOT tax rate in the City is 10%. Major economic drivers for TOT revenue include room rates, average occupancy rates, and seasonal and non‐seasonal tourism.

General Fund Net Cost
The fiscal year 2025 Proposed General Fund budget of $274.1 million is based on funding from estimated department generated revenues totaling $39.0 million and discretionary revenues totaling $235.1 million. Department generated revenues are broadly defined as those revenues generated by a given activity (e.g., grant revenues, charges for services, licenses, permits). General revenues, or “discretionary revenues, ” are broadly defined as those revenues that are generated not by any given activity, but by general or specific taxing authority such as property taxes and sales tax.
Departments that generate small amounts of revenue relative to their size generally have higher net costs, while those that generate large amounts of revenue relative to their size generally have lower net costs. The majority of discretionary revenue is allocated to public safety services, with the Police Department at 39% followed by the Fire Department at 25%. The next highest portion was allocated to Public Works at 12%.
The following chart depicts the percentage of net cost of all departments, excluding Non-Departmental, based on the fiscal year 2025 Proposed Budget.

67 General Fund Long-Term Financial Plan
The City of Chula Vista General Fund Long-Term Financial Plan (LTFP) serves as a long-range fiscal planning tool to identify financial trends, projected budgetary surpluses or shortfalls, and encourage discussion to proactively address the City’s long-range needs. The LTFP also served as a guideline for the development of the Fiscal Year 2025 General Fund budget�
The goal of the LTFP is to assess the City’s ability over the ten-year term of the plan to:
■ Maintain current or expand service levels;
■ Preserve the City’s long-term fiscal health; and
■ Strategically increase the City’s reserve funds to meet the City’s reserve policies thresholds.
The LTFP focuses on baseline revenues and expenditures that are essential for the City to achieve the City’s strategic goals over the next ten years. These goals include:
■ Providing the highest level of municipal services based upon available resources; ■ Maintaining safe and appealing neighborhoods;
■ Providing funding for City infrastructure; and
■ Continuing to expand the City’s economic development and financial base.
The LTFP is presented to the City Council at the beginning of the budget development process, typically each November. It is important to stress that the LTFP is not a budget. It does not make expenditure decisions, but rather highlights the need to prioritize the allocation of City resources, to ensure the continuation of core City services. The purpose of the plan is to provide the City Council, key stakeholders, and the public an overview of the City’s fiscal health based on various financial and service level assumptions over the next ten years; and allow for the discussion of necessary steps to be initiated during the development and implementation of future budgets. The LTFP is intended to look beyond the annual budget cycle and serve as a planning tool to bring a long-term perspective to the budget process. It should be noted that the LTFP is a snapshot in time and will change as additional information is made available and incorporated into the fiscal projections.
Revenue and Expenditure Projections
The LTFP considers the annual growth of all currently known elements of City revenues and expenditures. Projecting revenues including property taxes, sales taxes, franchise fees, departmental revenues, and other revenues is an essential part of the planning process. Forecasting expenditures, including rising salary, pension and healthcare costs, contractual obligations, cost of goods and services, and factoring the impact of inflation on operational expenditures is another critical element of the process.
As a result, the LTFP utilizes growth rates that vary by revenue and expenditure category. The plan also considers other assumptions such as the impact of future development, debt obligations, and other commitments as part of the revenue and expenditure projections.

Title 2, Chapter 2.03 of the Chula Vista Municipal Code, (Ord. 2619 Sec. 1, 1994) consistent with Section 501 of the City Charter, established the City’s Department of Mayor and Council. The Department is responsible for policy setting, constituent relations, inter-agency relations and intra-agency policy implementation. It is the professional support office of city government for the Mayor and City Council in the legislative branch and apart from the administrative functions of the City�
The City Council is comprised of a full-time Mayor and four part-time Council members. They are the governing and legislative body of the City. All powers of the City reside in the Council (the Mayor is considered a member of the Council) unless expressly delegated, assigned or excluded by the City Charter or controlling state or federal law (Article II, Sec. 201 City Charter). The City Council sets policy for the City through its legislative, budget and expressly granted executive functions.
The Mayor is elected at-large and Councilmembers are elected by district. Each holds office for a four-year term.
The City Manager and City Clerk, the primary executive and document support officials, are appointed by and serve at the pleasure of the Council. The City Council reviews and approves the budget, enacts ordinances, authorizes public improvements, adopts traffic regulations, approves contracts, and sits as the Successor Agency to the Redevelopment Agency and Housing Authority. The City Council is also granted some expressly defined executive functions such as confirmation authority over all executive management and department head appointments. In addition, the Mayor has eight specific responsibilities defined in the City Charter; these are:
1. To report to the City Council annually and from time to time on the affairs of the City and to recommend for its consideration such matters as deemed expedient, and
2� To be the official head of the City for all political and ceremonial purposes and to be recognized by the courts for the purpose of serving civil process, for the signing of all legal instruments and documents, and by the Governor for emergency purposes, and
3� In the time of public danger or emergency, the Mayor, with the consent of the council, and for such period as the council may fix, to take command of the police, maintain order and enforce the law, and 4� To assume the primary, but not the exclusive responsibility, for interpreting to the people the policies, programs and needs of the City government and for informing the people of any major change in policy or program. The Mayor may represent the City in any and all matters involving other governmental agencies, provided that no act, promise, commitment or agreement entered into or committed by the Mayor shall be binding upon the City of Chula Vista unless duly authorized or ratified by the City Council, and 5� To represent the City in all regional public agencies which require an elected City official, unless otherwise determined by the City Council, and
6� To supervise the operation of the Mayor/Council office and personnel assigned thereto, 7� To perform such other duties consistent with the office as may be prescribed by this Charter or delegated to the Mayor or imposed on the Mayor by the City Council if not inconsistent with the provisions of this Charter, and City of Chula Vista
Proposed Budget FY 2025 74
DEPARTMENT SUMMARY REPORTS → City Council
8� To exercise the full-time function as Mayor of the City during the usual business hours that the offices of the City are open, and such other hours and times as shall be necessary to discharge in full the duties imposed upon the Mayor.
Under Section 304 (4) of the City Charter, The Mayor is assigned the primary responsibility for interpreting to the community the policies, programs, needs of the City government and communicating any change in these policies and programs. By Charter, the Mayor is designated as the City’s representative to serve on committees that review policies, programs, and practices at regional, state, national and international levels. This is accomplished through work on bodies such as SANDAG, the League of California Cities, and the U.S. Conference of Mayors.
Responding to the Community
The Mayor and Council members respond to requests from the public. They support resident input and participation in policy-setting and review of city operations. City Boards and Commissions, and active civic, interest and community groups offer valued and diverse feedback. The flow of information between residents and City Hall is welcomed and encouraged. In addition to phone calls, letters and email, the public can learn more about Council actions by visiting the City’s website at www.chulavistaca.gov�
Regular City Council meetings can be viewed via livestream at www.chulavistaca.gov/departments/mayor-council/ council-meeting-agenda, on AT&T U-verse channel 99 (throughout the County), and on Cox Cable channel 24 (only in Chula Vista). Recorded meetings are also aired on Wednesdays at 7 p.m. (both channels) and are archived on the City’s website.
The Constituent Services Representative facilitates the Mayor’s role established by City Charter as having the primary responsibility for communicating with the community regarding City policies and programs. While each Council member can respond to community inquiries, the Mayor is vested with this responsibility. The Constituent Services Representative facilitates coordinating incoming concerns and efficiently handles timely responses. This process means that responsive City departments get one referral and not five, and constituents receive factual and consistent responses � Problems are addressed either directly or by referral to the responsible department � Responses to requests for assistance are made within as short a time frame as possible.

The City of Chula Vista City Attorney’s Office serves as legal counsel to the City Council, all City Boards and Commissions, the City Manager, the City Clerk, and all City Departments. The Office’s primary responsibility is to provide clients with the legal services they need to conduct City operations, develop and implement City policy, and deliver City services in a lawful and efficient manner.
Staffing
The City Attorney’s Office has ten full-time attorney positions, three administrative assistant positions, one paralegal, one risk manager, and one office manager. The Department currently has four attorney positions, one administrative assistant position, and one City Attorney Investigator position unfilled. The City Attorney’s office is currently engaging outside counsel to assist with litigation and/or specialty law issues. Volunteer legal interns also provide valuable support�
In 2019, the City Council approved the creation of a Neighborhood Protection Unit (“NPU”), to include a prosecutor, a paralegal, and an investigator.
Elected City Attorney
In accordance with a June 2008 voter-approved City Charter amendment, the City Attorney position was changed from a City Council-appointed position to an elected position. Notwithstanding this change, the City Attorney’s primary function remains the same: to act as the City’s general counsel on all legal matters. The current City Attorney seat is filled by Marco Verdugo, who was sworn in on April 9, 2024.
Practice Areas
The City Attorney’s Office delivers legal services in the following primary practice areas:
Contracts
The City enters into numerous contracts annually including those involving public works, consulting services, grants and public/private partnerships. The City Attorney’s Office provides legal services at all stages of contract development, implementation, and enforcement, including negotiation, drafting, administration and dispute resolution.
The City Attorney develops and maintains standardized City contracts, and actively participates in negotiations and structuring of complex transactions such as the finance and implementation of major capital projects, design/build agreements and energy, telecommunications and solid waste disposal franchises.
Land Use
The City Attorney’s Office provides legal counsel to the City Council, Development Services Department and Planning Commission on a wide range of land use issues including general and specific plans, zoning, subdivisions, growth management, special and conditional use permits, environmental impacts, including California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review, hazardous materials, affordable housing, preservation of historic properties, and impact fees, exactions and assessment districts for open space, parks, and other public facilities.

Proposed Budget FY 2025 84
DEPARTMENT SUMMARY REPORTS → City Attorney
Economic Development and Real Estate
The City Attorney advises the City Council, City Manager, Successor Agency and various City departments in connection with a wide range of economic development and real estate issues. Typical matters include property acquisition and disposition, leasing, licensing, easements, development agreements, affordable housing transactions, and the winding down of redevelopment activities.
Employment/Labor
With over 1,000 full-time City employees, and five established bargaining units, the personnel and labor issues facing the City are complex and diverse. In collaboration with the City’s Human Resources Department, the City Attorney’s office is responsible for advising on labor negotiations, employee policy development, federal and state labor, employment, and anti-discrimination laws, disciplinary matters, and dispute resolution, (including civil service and arbitration proceedings, and representing the City before various state/federal entities, including EEOC, DFEH, and PERB).
General Municipal Law
The City Attorney’s Office provides legal advice in diverse areas of local government law such as municipal finance, budgeting, and taxation. The City Attorney’s Office assists with the enactment of local laws by preparing City Council resolutions and ordinances, advises on conflicts of interest, open meeting laws, public records requirements, inter/ intra-governmental relations and advises the City’s many Boards and Commissions. The City Attorney’s Office is frequently called upon to interpret and apply the rules contained in the City Charter and Municipal Code.
Litigation and Risk Management
The City Attorney’s Office is responsible for defending the City against civil lawsuits alleging personal injury, land use, property damage, construction defect, wrongful death, and civil rights violations. The City Attorney’s Office also includes key risk/claims management staff, who evaluate pre-litigation claims against the City, and work with all City Departments to develop and improve policies and procedures that mitigate risk. They also take steps to protect the City’s interests and recover costs to cover damage incurred in certain matters including, but not limited to, breach of contract and construction defect matters. Cases and claims range from minor matters to multi-million- dollar lawsuits. The City Attorney’s Office also initiates litigation when it is necessary to protect the interests of the City and/or its constituents. Lawsuits initiated by the City can include breach of contract, construction defect, and pollution matters�
Code Enforcement
The City Attorney’s Office assists with the enforcement of City Code provisions related to building standards, zoning requirements, neighborhood preservation, land use, and other conditions or conduct affecting public health, safety or welfare. Violations are addressed by employing the various legal enforcement tools available to the City:
administrative actions, civil actions and, in extreme cases, criminal prosecution. The City Attorney’s Office provides further assistance by obtaining legal orders for the abatement, and/or demolition of substandard properties.
Criminal Prosecution
The Neighborhood Protection Unit (NPU) is responsible for evaluating and prosecuting misdemeanor violations of the City’s Municipal Code. The topics covered vary according to the needs of the City. The City Prosecutor continues to work with City departments to support prosecutorial efforts to increase public safety in the City. The City Prosecutor also acts as a liaison with the District Attorney’s Office to support joint efforts to combat issues facing the community, as appropriate�
The NPU also works closely with the Police Department to obtain Gun Violence Restraining Orders (GVROs). GVROs are civil proceedings, filed by law enforcement agencies. The orders prevent individuals from obtaining or possessing firearms and/or ammunition. These individuals face many different circumstances which may present a risk of gun violence, such as a mental health emergency, a threat of suicide, or a threat of harm to another. The City Attorney’s Office files these GVROs in court and appears at the hearings on behalf of the Police Department. Since 2021 when City of Chula Vista
Proposed Budget FY 2025 85
DEPARTMENT SUMMARY REPORTS → City Attorney
the program was first put in place, CVPD and the City Attorney’s Office have worked together to file approximately 50 GVROs. The City Attorney’s Office also coordinates training for officers and works in conjunction with other agencies to use this tool as efficiently and effectively as possible.
Public Requests for Legal Assistance
The City Attorney’s Office frequently receives requests for assistance from the public. The City Attorney’s client is the City itself, not any one City resident. As a result, the City Attorney’s Office cannot provide direct legal advice to anyone other than the City Council, the City’s Boards and Commissions, the City Manager, and the other City employees acting on behalf of the City. However, the City Attorney staff use their best efforts to assist the public by directing them to other legal resources, as appropriate.
MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of the City Attorney’s Office is to provide high quality legal services to the City in order for the City to operate in a lawful and effective manner, safeguard taxpayer resources, and to improve quality of life for City residents�

The City of Chula Vista is governed under the council-manager form of government.

The Human Resources Department is committed to providing superior services to employees, departments and the public to ensure an informed, quality workforce and community, while treating everyone with fairness, dignity, equality and respect.
The Human Resources Department (HR) develops and manages five major divisions including Administration, Operations, Risk Management, Benefits, and Training and Development.
HR Administration provides the day-to-day oversight of 22.0 HR staff, serving approximately 1,301.75 full-time and part-time benefited employees and up to 400 temporary employees. HR Administration advises departments on the interpretation and application of City policies and procedures that pertain to Human Resources, as well as the Civil Service Rules. Additionally, this division is responsible for training and guiding departments and individuals through the teambuilding, performance management, investigation and the discipline process as well as providing staff assistance to the Civil Service Commission. The Department oversees the Employee Engagement and Wellness Committee to increase engagement levels throughout the City. HR Administration negotiates the City’s six labor contracts, coordinates Citywide labor management cooperation, interprets and maintains compliance with each bargaining unit’s memorandum of understanding. HR Administration provides City employees with organizational and personal professional development resources.
One of the goals of the Human Resources Department is to attract the best and brightest to the City of Chula Vista to create and maintain an environment in which employees can flourish. The HR Operations Division is responsible for recruitment, selection, classification and compensation. The division identifies qualified applicants to fill job vacancies at all levels, through recruiting and testing. Applicants are given the opportunity to demonstrate their employment strengths through each phase of the recruitment and selection process� The end result is an eligible list of qualified candidates. Getting new employees into vacancies in a timely manner helps departments maintain a high level of cost-effective and efficient service to City residents, which is a shared goal at the City of Chula Vista.
Human Resources Operations staff is responsible for conducting studies of positions and making recommendations on proper job classification, compensation, and writing and revising job descriptions based on these studies. The division maintains the City’s Classification Plan, Compensation Plan, and administrative regulations that relate to classification and compensation. In addition, staff conducts and responds to salary and benefit surveys, provides advice on Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) designation, and supports labor negotiations with the City’s unions and employee associations�
The Risk Management Division is responsible for the development of a safe and healthy environment for City employees and the public and for controlling and reducing liability exposures in order to preserve the City’s assets and service capabilities. This is accomplished via the Division’s programs that include: occupational health and safety, loss control, and disability management.
The City acknowledges the inherent risks associated with tasks performed by Police, Fire and Public Works, but will not allow this to excuse injuries and exposures as acceptable conditions. Instead, we challenge ourselves to prevent their occurrence through assessments, inspections, investigations, hazard controls, safe work practices, best available technology, communication, education and training. We are committed to providing a safe and healthful working environment for employees, volunteers and the public while strengthening the safety culture of our organization�

DEPARTMENT SUMMARY REPORTS → Human Resources Department Risk Management’s Safety program has oversight of all City safety efforts. The Safety program provides a systematic way to minimize incident frequency and severity, contribute to positive morale, effectively maintain the City’s resources and increase operational efficiency.
Disability Management oversees the City’s self-insured workers’ compensation program and the handling of claims by our third-party administrator. It also provides comprehensive services to employees and departments. The goal of the Disability Management program is to return injured or ill employees to the workforce as soon as they are able.
This is accomplished via the City’s hands on Return to Work Transitional Duty program where we partner with the treating doctors to focus on what the recovering employee can rather than what they can’t do. In the interim, Disability Management works to ensure that employees are receiving any income and job protection to which they are entitled.
Risk Management is responsible for recovering funds when City property is damaged by outside parties and recovers costs associated with emergency response related to impaired drivers. Staff aggressively seeks reimbursement from insurance companies or the uninsured party and averages between $250k and $350k per year in revenue from these endeavors.
The Training and Development Division is increasing the availability of training in the City and concentrating on expanding e-learning opportunities. One method is to continue to utilize our Target Solutions internet-based training platform. Via this program we have created several safety and human resource trainings, both mandatory and elective, available to employees from the comfort of their workstation. We also partner with external subject matter experts including local community colleges to offer a wide variety of courses at our worksite to reduce the cost of travel times for employees.
The Benefits Division administers a variety of programs including the City’s §125 Cafeteria Benefits Plan, Retiree Medical Program, Human Resources Information System (HRIS) implementation and maintenance, New Hire Orientations and Professional Enrichment Program. Benefits are an important component of total compensation, and the Division is committed to implementing comprehensive employee benefits by supporting and delivering personal assistance to valued employees, retirees, dependents, and service providers.
The following competitive benefit options are managed by the Division: medical, dental, and vision coverage; group life (including accidental death & dismemberment) insurance; voluntary supplemental life insurance; voluntary accident, critical illness, and hospital indemnity insurance; Employee Assistance Program; and retirement benefits through Public Agency Retirement Services (PARS) and California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS). To assist employees in making their benefits-related decisions, benefits forms, resources, and tools are made available to employees online�
The Department leads the Employee Engagement and Wellness Committee to make a solid impact on increasing employee satisfaction and helping to foster an environment for sustained engagement in our City. The Employee Engagement Committee implements events and programs that will increase engagement levels. Merging Engagement and Wellness together in 2018 has allowed the Department to further promote and foster wellness of mind and body by providing education, opportunities and support in choosing a healthy lifestyle. By keeping our workforce healthy we increase productivity and reduce health care costs.

STRATEGIC GOALS
Connected Community
■ Replace Loma Verde Community Center
● This facility is approximately 50 years old.
● The Center is among the busiest community centers in the southwestern area of the City and needs replacement. ● In April 2020, Council approved a Design Build Agreement for replacing the Center which includes multi-purpose facilities in addition to an aquatic facility encompassing an area of approximately 44,000 square feet. ● In August 2021, Council awarded the contract for construction for Phases 1 and 2 which includes the demolition and reconstruction of approximately 20,000 square feet of the Center and will feature a new multi-purpose gymnasium, dance rooms, crafts room, fitness room, game room, hard courts, restrooms, changing room, staff offices, lifeguard staff room, and break room.
● The Phase 3 portion of the project replaced the balance of the existing building to create space for new pool mechanical equipment, wet and dry storage, construction of a new pool; and deck, classroom space, a new splashpad, replacement playground, replacement of the solar water heater, and new sports lighting. ● Total cost of the project is estimated at $30.7 million. ↘ STATUS:
Construction of Segments 1 and 2 was completed in April 2023, these segments were opened for limited use until the completion of Segment 3. Design of Segment 3 began in June of 2021 and was completed June 2022. Loma Verde Community Center is fully operational and open to the public while the final stages of completion are underway.
■ Expansion of Adaptive Traffic Control Systems
● These smart traffic signal systems can “see” approaching vehicles from much farther away, and can automatically adjust the duration of green and red light cycles based on real-time traffic patterns. ● The goal is to reduce travel times, enhance safety, and to reduce emissions attributable to vehicles idling at red lights along heavily traveled streets.
● The adaptive control systems also have the capacity to interact with the vehicle-to-infrastructure technology that can support connected vehicles and autonomous vehicles, better known as self-driving cars. ● In the winter of 2018, the City upgraded 29 intersections along Telegraph Canyon Road, East H Street, and Otay Lakes Road with adaptive traffic signal controllers. The system continued to be monitored and optimized in 2019.
● During fiscal year 2021, the City installed Adaptive Traffic Signals along H Street between Hidden Vista Drive & Tierra Del Rey and Telegraph Canyon Road between Canyon Plaza Driveway & Buena Vista Way. ● The design for project TRF0408, Traffic Signal Replacements and Improvements for 11 locations throughout the City was completed during fiscal year 2021. The CIP project’s scope of work includes traffic signal modifications and upgrades to improve visibility, provide for protected left turn movements, provide for permissible flashing yellow left turn movements, and replace failing and outdated traffic signals at various locations Citywide.
City of Chula Vista
Proposed Budget FY 2025 136
DEPARTMENT SUMMARY REPORTS → Engineering & Capital Projects Department ↘ STATUS:
Construction began in February of 2021 and was completed in July of 2023. An additional $1.5 million in Measure P funding for FY 2025 will help further these efforts, as the City continues to evaluate other streets to deploy modern traffic signal technology which will enhance safety, efficiency, and support the City’s “Smart City” initiatives.
Strong and Secure Neighborhoods
■ Renovation of Fire Station 1
● This facility was constructed in 1947.
● Fire Station 1 requires renovation to meet the evolving duties of the Fire Department. ● The project will include enlarging the opening at the apparatus bay to accommodate a larger ladder truck, renovations to accommodate modern equipment and completing repairs for aging aspects of the building. ● The station’s dorm rooms and bathrooms also require upgrades to meet modern firefighter personnel needs. ● In May 2021, Council approved a Design Build Agreement for renovation of Fire Station 1. ● The design phase was completed in January of 2023 and the award of the construction phase was approved by Council in February of 2023.
↘ STATUS:
Construction for Fire Station 1 renovations began in September of 2023, and complete renovation is expected to be completed in the Fall of 2024�
■ Replace Heritage Road Bridge
● The existing four-lane bridge at Heritage Road was built using FEMA emergency funding as an interim facility in 1993 when heavy flood waters destroyed the original two-lane river crossing. ● This interim bridge is inadequate for peak traffic volumes, does not accommodate pedestrians, special event vehicle volumes, and is unable to convey the 50-year storm without being overtopped. ● Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and Caltrans approved the bridge for replacement as the existing bridge is Functionally Obsolete (FO) and the cost of rehabilitation exceeded replacement. ● In 2014, the Heritage Road Bridge Replacement Project was accepted into the Highway Bridge Program (HBP). ● The HBP provides funding to enable states to improve the condition of their highway bridges through replacement, rehabilitation, and systematic preventive maintenance of deficient bridges. ● As of January 2021, approved grant funds total $3.7 million for preliminary engineering and $354,000 for right- of-way acquisition.
● The project design is completed and construction permits/mitigation from the Resource Agencies are near approval.
● Pending construction programming has been identified in the amount of $26.9 million with total construction anticipated at $30.9 million (including construction management). ↘ STATUS:
Advertising of the construction contract is scheduled for the Spring of 2024, with construction beginning in the Summer of 2024 and completed in fiscal year 2027. Development Impact Fees from both Chula Vista and the City of San Diego benefit areas will provide the required matching funds.

The Chula Vista Police Department’s (CVPD) is a leader in the public safety profession and maintains a culture of community-based policing, innovative problem solving, community engagement, and accountability. The need to provide public safety services with fairness, compassion, equality and justice is not only a pillar of the Department’s formal policies and practices, but also deeply ingrained into the history and culture of the Department. The Department adheres to guidance provided by former President Obama’s Task Force on 21st Century Policing, upholds the highest ideals for policing practices, and serves Chula Vista’s residents according to the community’s expectations and needs�
The Police Department’s primary focus is community policing. Community policing focuses on crime and social disorder through the delivery of police services that includes aspects of traditional law enforcement, as well as prevention, problem solving, community engagement, and partnerships. The community policing philosophy balances reactive responses to calls for service with proactive problem solving centered on the root causes of crime and disorder. In addition to community policing, the Police Department focuses on traffic safety, criminal investigations, juvenile services, regional task forces, community partnerships, and many other services to support these operations.
The Chula Vista Police Department is led by a Command Staff, consisting of the Police Chief, an Assistant Police Chief, three Police Captains and an Administrative Services Manager. The Department is authorized for 290 sworn officers and 113 civilian employees. The Police Department maintains an extremely lean workforce, having the lowest per capita staffing in the region according to SANDAG studies. Although limited staffing can present certain service challenges, the Police Department stays on the cutting edge of efficiency through innovation and effectiveness.
The Department consists of five divisions: Community Engagement, Patrol Operations, Investigations, Support Operations and Administrative Services.
Community Engagement
The Community Engagement Division concentrates on increasing transparency and enhancing relationships with residents, visitors, business owners, students, community leaders and advocates, and the unsheltered. This division helps the Department to expand on its mission to provide community policing with the highest level of professionalism and transparency�

STRATEGIC GOALS
Protecting and Serving the Community
■ Address community concerns regarding general safety, crime, traffic safety, and satisfaction with CVPD ● As a result of a resident survey conducted by SANDAG in 2019, the survey’s outcomes disclose that residents generally believe the crime rate is the same, or has increased, from 2018. This is in spite of the fact that the City was, at the time of the survey, experiencing the lowest levels of crime in more than three decades. ↘ STATUS:
The Police Department will deploy a multi-faceted approach to address issues reported by residents, and work to lessen the fear of crime and improve lines of communications in physical and online settings. The primary responsibility for managing this work will be a new Community Relations Officer position and a new Public Information Specialist position. The Police Department will address concerns regarding traffic safety by expanding the Traffic Unit to focus on traffic safety and provide enhanced education, prevention and enforcement efforts across the City�
■ Recruit, train, and retain critical staffing positions that are authorized and necessary to maintain Chula Vista’s low crime rate
↘ STATUS:
The Police Department will collaborate with bargaining groups and partners Citywide to ensure that the Department is competitive, to the fullest extent possible, in workload and compensation in the region, and continues to be a great place to work and to stay. The Police Department will also increase existing efforts and reinvest in the engagement, health, safety and wellness of its members to insure they maintain the right mindset and right readiness to serve our community in the way the community needs and expects.
Advancing Innovation and Efficiency
■ Manage innovation in the Department to remain at the leading edge of change, and also to optimize the integration of new capabilities into existing organizational structures in the best possible ways ● Chula Vista has earned a reputation as a leader in public safety innovation. The Police Department has adopted an innovation initiative that strives for the safe and effective use of technology to improve community safety while balancing the protection of our community’s rights and expectations. ↘ STATUS:
Chula Vista is a national leader in the deployment of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) with its Drone as First Responder (DFR) program, which provides remotely operated drones to respond to calls for service. The Real Time Operations Center will provide crime analysis and an operational picture for field and detective criminal investigations in real time to support police operations and is physically located adjacent to field operations personnel to enhance the flow and exchange of information. The Department is evaluating a pilot program of hand-held smartphones that can be carried by officers away from the vehicle, which may replace mobile data computers in police vehicles. A traffic signal emergency preemption program is being tested to improve response times and enhance safety when officers respond to emergency calls.
Strengthening Resource Sustainability
■ Participate more fully in the City’s planning and growth to allow the Department to anticipate emerging challenges and develop strategies to ensure public safety
● Growth in Chula Vista is persistent, and the next five years will see unprecedented changes in the City population, and in the community’s complexity. Major components of this growth include the Bayfront resort hotel and convention center, university site, and maturation of Millenia project.

Proposed Budget FY 2025 144
DEPARTMENT SUMMARY REPORTS → Police Department
↘ STATUS:
The Police Department will ensure members of CVPD attend all relevant meetings of City Economic Development, including public hearings and discussions surrounding the need of police presence.
Development projects will impact law enforcement efforts, and the police perspective should be considered during the planning stages�
Championing Community Engagement, Equity and Inclusion
■ Continue to build trust between law enforcement and the community ● In May 2020, national protests erupted over the police treatment of communities, especially those in urban areas. The protests have resulted in widespread calls to defund the police, radically restructure the ways the police treat their citizenry, especially as it relates to systemic bias in the criminal justice system, and to transition away from using the police to respond to mental health calls, community and social issues and other calls for service where trained professionals from other disciplines may be better suited to resolve issues. ↘ STATUS:
CVPD staff will engage in appropriate dialog, training and work with the community to strengthen current relationships, to build new ones, and to address any issues of bias, racism or adverse police conduct in a spirit of creating the most responsive and respectful police Department possible. The newly formed Community Engagement Division will lead these efforts.

Development Services Fund
The Development Services Fund is an enterprise fund, accounting for revenues and expenditures related to the processing of development plans and permits. Enterprise funds are self-supporting, where revenues cover expenses. Enterprise funds allow for operating expenses to be adjusted with changes in demand, avoiding impacts to the General Fund when revenue fluctuations occur because of changes in development activity throughout the City.
The Development Services Fund provides Planning, Building, Engineering, Landscape Architecture, and permitting services to property owners, developers, and the City as required for the entitlement and/or improvement of property. The services provided encompass most development activities, including land use entitlements; public infrastructure, open space, and landscape planning; public infrastructure construction, grading and building permits.
Revenues
Development related revenues consist of two categories: development processing fee revenues and deposit-based revenues. Development processing fee revenues include building permits, planning fees, other building department fees, and engineering fees. Deposit-based revenues are generated through staff time reimbursements related to specific projects. The City is anticipating that the following major projects will continue to move forward in fiscal year 2025:
■ Bayfront Redevelopment Project
■ Millenia Project
■ Freeway Commercial North
■ Otay Ranch Villages
■ Sunbow II, Phase 3
■ Chula Vista Center mixed-use project
■ Otay Ranch Town Center mixed-use project
■ University Land Entitlement Projects

Successor Agency Funds
The Chula Vista Redevelopment Agency was created on October 24, 1972 by City Council Ordinance. The goals of the former Redevelopment Agency were to reduce blight and to encourage new development, reconstruction, and rehabilitation of residential, commercial, industrial, and retail uses. Since the Agency’s creation, the City adopted and amended six project areas to encompass a total of approximately 3,563 acres of City territory. Land uses within these areas are mostly commercial and industrial, but also includes some residential and public uses (e.g., governmental administrative centers, corporation yards, streets, etc.).
On December 29, 2011, amidst a state fiscal emergency, the California Supreme Court upheld Assembly Bill (AB) 26 dissolving California redevelopment agencies. Effective February 1, 2012, all redevelopment agencies were dissolved, and the City of Chula Vista assumed the role of Successor Agency to the Chula Vista Redevelopment Agency (City Council resolution 2011-164).
The Successor Agency is responsible for the wind down of the former Redevelopment Agency activities and obligations. The Successor Agency will continue to oversee all legally enforceable obligations as well as dispose of the former Redevelopment Agency assets.
As required by AB 26, an Oversight Board, composed of affected taxing entities within the City, was created. The primary responsibility of the Oversight Board is reviewing and approving the annual Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule and serving in a fiduciary role to the taxing entities that the Oversight Board represents. The Oversight Board transitioned to one central County Oversight Board in fiscal year 2019.
Fund Descriptions
The Successor Agency budget is organized into a Redevelopment Obligation Retirement Fund (RORF) and debt service funds. The RORF accounts for the staffing and other expenditures required in winding down activities of the former Redevelopment Agency. The Debt Service funds are used to pay for the former Redevelopment Agency’s debt service on its outstanding Tax Allocation Bonds, loans and other debt of the former Redevelopment Agency.
Operating Funds
■ Fund 318: Redevelopment Obligation Retirement Fund (RORF) The RORF serves as the primary operating funds in the winding down of the former Redevelopment Agency. This fund is used to pay the documented enforceable obligations of the former redevelopment agency that have been approved by the Successor Agency Oversight Board and the State Department of Finance.
Debt Service Funds
The Debt Service funds are used to pay for former Redevelopment Agency debt service on its outstanding Tax Allocation Bonds, loans and other debt of the former Redevelopment Agency. ■ Fund 666: 2016 Tax Allocation Refunding Bonds (TARBs) In July 2016, the Successor Agency issued the Tax Allocation Refunding Bonds in the amount of $29,315,000 to refinance the Agency’s outstanding 2006 Senior Tax Allocation Refunding Bonds, Series A, 2006 Subordinate Tax Allocation Refunding Bonds, Series B, and the 2008 Tax Allocation Refunding Bonds. The Annual Debt Service is paid from property tax increments generated in the project areas. The term of the bonds runs through 2036. ■ Fund 692: Long Term Advances Debt Service Fund – Redevelopment Agency This fund was established to account for Redevelopment Agency inter-fund loans.

Revenues
A summary of revenues by category are listed below:
■ Property Taxes – The revenues in this category are received due to the dissolution of the Redevelopment Agency.
Property tax increment revenues are now received by the County of San Diego and will be distributed to the Successor Agency based on documented enforceable obligations that have been approved by both the Successor Agency Oversight Board and the State Department of Finance. For fiscal year 2025, revenues decreased in comparison to the fiscal year 2024 Adopted Budget based on technical corrections to the baseline budget and updated redevelopment property tax trust fund allocation information from the County Auditor & Controller.
The table below provides a revenue comparison of the fiscal year 2024 Adopted Budget to the fiscal year 2025 Proposed Budget. The table does not reflect the revenue budget of the debt service funds which are reflected in the debt service section of the budget document.

■ Supplies & Services – The supplies and services expenditure category decreased by $121 thousand as compared to the fiscal year 2024 Adopted Budget based on the winddown of the Successor Agency and reduction in staff time activities.
■ Transfers Out – The transfers out expenditure category accounts for the required debt service for the Successor Agency. Bonded debt service for the 2016 TARBS is approximately $2.8 million. The Transfers Out category has decreased slightly due to the scheduled decrease of the debt service payments related to the 2016 Tax Allocation Refunding Bonds.

Housing Authority Funds
The Housing Authority was formed in 1993. A Housing Authority can provide tax-exempt bond financing, own and operate housing, and operate various housing programs. The Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program, including public housing in Chula Vista, is operated by the County of San Diego Housing Authority. With the elimination of the City’s Redevelopment Agency in 2012, the Housing Authority assumed the housing functions of the former Redevelopment Agency, becoming a “Successor Housing Agency”. Housing Authority staff provides comprehensive housing services for the City including new affordable housing development and program administration.
The Chula Vista Housing Authority fund is the clearinghouse for all housing related staff activity. Included in this fund are personnel expenses which are reimbursed by various funding sources such as the US Department of Housing and Urban Development Grant Funds and Low/Moderate Income Housing Funds. The Housing Fund will receive funds for staff time reimbursements for managing the City’s Affordable Housing projects and programs, administering State and Federal Grant Programs, and for monitoring bond covenants for multifamily housing revenue bonds issued by the City’s Housing Authority. The Housing Authority focuses on the development of sustainable neighborhoods through investments in and administration of programs that seek to improve, preserve, and increase the supply of affordable housing in Chula Vista and serve low income residents such as:
■ Long-range planning of housing goals and annual monitoring of Housing Element goals ■ Predevelopment financing
■ Financing and assistance in the production of affordable rental housing through new construction and acquisition/ rehabilitation
■ Rehabilitation grants and loans for small owner-occupied and rental properties ■ Providing rental assistance
■ Expanding home ownership opportunities for first-time homebuyers ■ Assistance to homeless shelter/service providers
■ Overseeing contracts with social service agencies for the provision of services to low/moderate income residents ■ Developing and implementing policies and programs related to affordable housing Fund Descriptions
Operating Funds
■ Fund 313: Chula Vista Housing Authority
The Chula Vista Housing Authority Fund accounts for all housing related activities funded through the Low/ Moderate Income Housing Fund and those eligible for reimbursement such as the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Block Grant Funds.

The City’s Housing Authority became the Successor Housing Agency. This fund accounts for all assets originally held by the Low and Moderate Income Housing fund and will account for activities similar to the Low and Moderate Income Housing program. The fund revenues are not discretionary and must be used for the production of affordable housing�

Sewer Funds
Sewer Funds
The Sewer enterprise funds account for revenues and expenditures related to the City’s Sewer programs, including maintenance and expansion of the City’s conveyance system and payment of San Diego Metro wastewater treatment costs�
The City of Chula Vista provides wastewater conveyance and treatment services to approximately 50,000 billing accounts, including residential and non-residential uses. The wastewater generated by Chula Vista customers is collected and sent to treatment facilities in the South Bay and Point Loma through the City’s extensive sewer collection system, which consists of 13 pump stations and over 500 miles of sewer pipe. The San Diego Metropolitan Wastewater System (San Diego Metro) provides wastewater treatment services to the City of Chula Vista and most of the region per an agreement. The wastewater permit for the Point Loma Treatment Plant Advanced Primary requires a waiver which is renewed regularly. The last approved waiver application, submitted in 2015 to the Regional Water Quality Control Board and the Environmental Protection Agency was approved in April 2018 with special conditions.
This included the requirement to implement the Pure Water Program.
The 2005 Chula Vista Wastewater Master Plan (WWMP), which was updated in 2014, identifies a conservative planning level sewer generation rate of 230 gallons per equivalent dwelling units (EDU). The 2014 WWMP estimates the City’s ultimate sewer treatment capacity required for the currently planned build out condition will be 29.89 million gallons per day (MGD). However, current flow projections are lower with treatment capacity needs estimated at 19.9 MGD. The reduction in flow can be attributed, in part, to lowered use due to the increase in the cost of water and on-going water conservation efforts. The City’s buildout sewer capacity needs are projected to be between the WWMP and the current metered flow estimate. The Wastewater Engineering Section will continue to track water usage trends, changes in land use and population projections to validate current generation rates and project the ultimate need for the City. An update to the WWMP is currently underway, which will include an evaluation of the projected build out sewer needs.
The following figure illustrates the City’s current trunk sewer network, which conveys flows to the San Diego Metro trunk sewer (shown in red). Some of the City’s sewer lines are used by the County of San Diego (County) and some of the County’s sewer pipelines are used by the City and coordinated through transportation agreements. The City has an existing transportation agreement with the County to use the Spring Valley Trunk sewer (shown in green).
City’s Current Trunk Sewer Network
Revenues
The Sewer Fund derives the majority of its revenue from various service charges that are collected from system users. This fund also derives revenues from other sources such as permit fees for new connections to the sewer system, interest earnings from investments, development impact fees, transfers from other funds designated to support Sewer fund operations. Other revenues include revenue reimbursements from other City funds and various service charges.
To ensure the future adequacy of the Sewer Funds, the City Council adopted the sewer rate case study that set the new sewer rates, which went into effect April 26, 2022 upon adoption and remains in effect through fiscal year 2026.
City of Chula Vista
Proposed Budget FY 2025 204
Sewer Funds
Previously, the rates had not changed since July 1, 2018 and with the adoption of the new rates, increases began on July 1, 2022. One issue of continued importance is the sewage treatment costs through the City of San Diego.
The recent permit required for treatment was renewed on the condition of implementation of a regional wastewater reuse program, Pure Water Program, which includes significant capital investments. The adopted sewer rate case study allows for increases or decreases in the costs from the City of San Diego to be adjusted annually to ensure more accuracy�
Revenues for the Sewer Income Fund (Fund 411), the Trunk Sewer Capital Reserve Fund (Fund 413), the Sewer Service Revenue Fund (Fund 414) and the Sewer Facility Replacement Fund (Fund 428) are summarized in the following table:

Expenditures
Sewer Fund operations and capital project programming contain no General Fund contributions. Sewer fund operations and capital programming costs are offset by fees paid by residential and non-residential users. In addition, other revenue sources generated within the Sewer Fund through normal operations fund 42.0 permanent positions that are contained in the fiscal year 2025 Proposed Budget.
The City continues to focus on its Annual Sewer Rehabilitation Program, which ranges annually from $1,200,000 to $2,000,000 for the replacement and rehabilitation of sewer pipes, manholes, lift stations, access roads, and other sewer system components. The City utilizes standardized evaluation and ranking criteria to inspect and evaluate the condition of the entire system to prioritize sewer infrastructure for replacement or rehabilitation.
City staff expenditures incurred supporting wastewater system maintenance and operations are funded by the Sewer Funds through a combination of direct expenditures and inter-fund transfers. Positions 100% funded by Sewer Funds are budgeted directly in the Sewer Funds. The remaining support staff is budgeted in either the General or Development Services Funds. These position costs are partially offset via inter-fund transfers. All supplies, services and utilities budgets associated with supporting the wastewater system are also budgeted in the Sewer Service Fund in fiscal year 2025.
Capital Improvement Projects
The second highest commitment of CIP funding is for the Wastewater Management System (WMS). The appropriation for Wastewater projects is approximately $4.3 million, which represents 7.07% of the adopted CIP budget. The capital projects are done through the use of enterprise funds coming from the Sewerage Facilities Replacement Fund.
Sewer Projects
■ An additional $800,000 is programmed for the Sewer Access Road Rehabilitation program, which improves access roads at various locations citywide and allows sewer infrastructure to be efficiently maintained. ■ Approximately $3.2 million is programmed for the rehabilitation and upsize of Telegraph Canyon sewer basin. ■ Funding of $340,000 is programmed for sewer manhole inspections, to complete a sewer Fees Analysis, and for the completion of a Sewer Cost of Service (Rate) Study.

Fund Descriptions
■ Fund 411: Sewer Income Fund
This fund is used to account for all revenues collected to recover the City’s costs incurred constructing the public wastewater system. The funds are collected from new properties receiving a permit to connect to the City’s wastewater collection system. The owner or person making the application for connection pays fees to the City as designated in the master fee schedule. Funds received are used for the acquisition, construction, reconstruction, maintenance and operation of sanitation or sewerage facilities, or to reimburse a subdivider or any person who has constructed sewer facilities benefiting other properties. The fund may also be used to reimburse the City for any expense incurred in connection with the construction and installation of any sewer facility including engineering work and acquisition of rights-of-way.
■ Fund 413: Trunk Sewer Capital Reserve Fund
The Trunk Sewer Capital Reserve Fund is used to account for the revenue derived from the sewer capacity charges or sewerage facility participation charges. The funds are collected from new properties or existing facilities to account for increases in sewer flow. Funds received may be used for the planning, design, or construction of sewerage collection or treatment or water reclamation purposes. ■ Fund 414: Sewer Service Revenue Fund
The Sewer Service Revenue Fund is used to account for monies collected from the monthly sewer service charge not going into the Sewer Facility Replacement Fund. Monies in this fund may be used for sewer related activities.
The primary use of these funds is the payment of the operations and maintenance of the system assets including City’s annual San Diego Metropolitan Sewer Capacity and Maintenance fees. It can also be used to meet capital and planning needs�

FLEET FUND
City of Chula Vista
Proposed Budget FY 2025 213
Fleet Fund
Fleet Fund
The Fleet Fund is an internal service fund, which is used to finance and account for goods, special activities, and services performed by one City department for other City departments on a cost reimbursement basis. The Fleet Management fund consists of two functions, Central Garage Operations and Equipment Replacement. Funds are collected on an annual basis through each affected department’s operating budget and deposited in the Fleet Management Fund.
The Central Garage Operations function maintains the City’s fleet of vehicles and equipment, both through City equipment mechanics and through contracts with local vendors for more specialized maintenance work, such as major transmission repairs. All City vehicles/equipment is maintained by the Central Garage including vehicles for public safety, streets and sewers, parks and open space, development services, housing and library.
Services provided include maintenance and repair of vehicles, vehicle fuel, vehicle replacement, and other specialized services not directly related to any single vehicle.
With the approval of Measure P , Fleet has been able to address the replacement of many older vehicles that had reached the end of their useful life. The replacement of the vehicles has generated new workload (ordering and outfitting vehicles) as vehicles had not been replaced at this rate in prior years; the new vehicles reduce maintenance costs and provide reliable vehicles for service delivery. Fleet recently upgraded its fleet management system software and is currently working on the replacement of the fuel management system.
As part of the City’s goal to reduce greenhouse emissions, the City has a fleet of 33 electric vehicles and 77 hybrid vehicles with the corresponding charging stations to support those vehicles. Electric vehicles help reduce maintenance costs while making a positive impact on the environment.
Revenues
Revenues in the Fleet Fund are generated from departments which utilize City vehicles and equipment through vehicle maintenance charges. These charges are based on the actual vehicles that reside within a department and include costs ranging from routine (oil changes, preventive maintenance) to major (transmission repair, accident repair), as well as fuel costs.
During the past seven years, the majority of vehicle replacement costs have been funded by Measure P sales tax revenues. Approximately $1.1 million is allocated in the fiscal year 2025 Proposed Budget for the replacement of public safety vehicles within the Measure P Fund.
For fiscal year 2025, the proposed revenue budget for the Fleet Fund is $6.9 million. The increase of revenues over the fiscal year 2024 Adopted Budget is due to an increase in the size of the fleet and operating expenditures such as fuel costs and automotive maintenance.

Expenditures
The Fleet fund’s expenditures include costs to maintain City vehicles, as well as to maintain and repair equipment (mowers, generators, equipment trailers) throughout the City. As discussed in the revenue summary above, these costs are then allocated back to the affected departments based on several factors such as the number of vehicles/ equipment, repair history, and fuel usage.
The fiscal year 2025 Proposed Budget for Fleet Management expenditures is $6.1 million. This amount includes funding for the necessary resources that will be required to sustain operations for service, repairs, and to fuel the City’s fleet in fiscal year 2025.

City of Chula Vista
Proposed Budget FY 2025 231
Debt Service Funds
Debt Service Funds
The debt service requirement for the City, Public Financing Authority and Municipal Financing Authority is $36.9 million for fiscal year 2025. These funds do not include the Successor Agency to the Redevelopment Agency debt as it is reported in the “Debt Administration” section of this document. The $36.9 million budgeted for debt service funds is the required payments for the debt per the amortization schedules; however, the amounts actually paid for debt service are usually less due to funds available with the trustee as a result of interest earnings or excess cash in the various debt service funds that reduce the required cash outlay budgeted for the annual payment of the debt.
Debt service payments are made from various City funds in accordance with the legal documents governing each borrowing. Currently, the debt is in the form of Certificates of Participation, Lease Revenue Bonds, Pension Obligation Bonds, Long Term Notes and Financed Purchase Obligations. Debt has been issued by the City to pay the City’s currently unamortized, unfunded accrued actuarial liability to CalPERS as of the 6/30/2019 valuation, and to finance a wide variety of projects, including the construction of the Public Works Center, the Police Facility, parking facilities, refurbishment of the Chula Vista Shopping Mall, property acquisitions, building remodeling, equipment and software acquisition.
Debt Service – City Fund
Debt Service for City Fund accounts for the activities of the City’s bonds (not issued by the CV Public Financing Authority or the CV Municipal Financing Authority), notes and financed purchases. Debt service expenditures for the City Fund are approximately $19.7 million offset by revenues of $19.7 million. To follow is a brief description of the City’s debt service funds.
■ Fund 100: General Fund - DHCD ERAP Loan
In May 2022 the City was approved for a loan of $8.6 million and received a total of $3.4 million from the U.S.
Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCP), under the ERAP loan program. No additional disbursements are anticipated. Repayment of these funds are anticipated to be covered by a federal allocation in accordance with Senate Bill No. 115, Budget Act of 2021. ■ Fund 220: Sales Tax Measure P - Financed Purchases
In July 2020 the City was approved for a loan of $2.3 million from Bank of America for the acquisition of one Pierce Aerial Ladder Truck (tiller) and one Pierce Arrow XT Triple Combination Pumper/Fire Engine. These funds will be repaid from Measure P tax revenue.
■ Fund 410: Transport Enterprise Fund - Financed Purchase In July 2020, as part of the loan agreement of the $2.3 million above, an additional $4.5 million was approved by Bank of America for additional equipment pertaining to the Ambulance Transport Enterprise Program. These funds will be repaid from revenues from the new Ambulance Transport Enterprise Program. ■ Fund 442: CDBG Section 108 Loan
In June of 2008, the City received a loan of $9.5 million from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), under the Section 108 program. These funds will be repaid with a portion of the City’s annual CDBG allocation, over the next 20 years. The funds will be used for the ‘Castle Park Infrastructure Project’. The Section 108 loan is an ‘advance’ of future CDBG entitlement funds, and, as such, is repaid with a portion of the City’s annual entitlement�
On November 27, 2018, the City received notice from HUD regarding the opportunity to refinance the existing loan with a lower interest rate. On December 6, 2018, the City notified HUD of its election to redeem the current note.
The City signed the agreement for the refinancing on January 23, 2019. This refinancing resulted in cost savings to the City from lower interest rates received during the remaining life of the loan.

Capital Improvement Program Summary
The following is an overview of the Capital Improvement Budget Program. The goal of the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is to provide for the sustainable preservation of City-owned assets at the lowest cost and to leverage financial strategies to address infrastructure needs within a prioritized framework, which includes an assessment of the asset’s condition, capacity to meet service demands, probability of failure, maintenance and preservation strategies, and funding availability. The CIP is a living document used to identify current and future requirements and the basis for determining annual capital budget expenditures. The CIP document can be found in its entirety on the City’s website. To follow is a summary of the document.
Capital Improvement Projects are defined as capital investments with a value of $50,000 or more and a minimum useful life of 5 years at a fixed location.
Equipment, operating, and maintenance costs are budgeted in the City’s operating budget. New maintenance costs are included in the CIP budget and appropriated in future operating budget cycles�
The CIP document provides the capital project budget detail and reporting by asset management category, funding, and location. This format better aids the decision-making process as it allows the City Council to review projects recommended in each asset management system, gain an understanding of the condition of the asset in relation to the overall system and the basis for the recommendation, as well as the availability of funding sources. The proposed projects’ detail sheets within each asset management system provide a description, location, project intent, type of project, link to the strategic goals, and funding requirements over the life of the project.
CIP Process
The Engineering and Capital Projects Department annually prepares a Capital Improvement Budget for the City Council’s approval. The process of developing the Capital Improvement Program is quite extensive and includes participation from each division of the department including Advance Planning, Project Delivery (Design/Survey), Traffic Engineering, Advanced Transportation Technologies & Maintenance, Inspection Services, Stormwater Management, Building Construction, Wastewater Management, and Fiscal Sustainability. Project proposals are submitted by these divisions and by other City departments such as Public Works, Fire, Police, Library, Development Services, and Community Services. The cooperation and diligence of each participating group is a critical component of the program’s quality and success.
The CIP budget includes an estimated five-year Capital Improvement Program, which gives the public and City Council an idea of what infrastructure needs are projected in the future. This also allows the City to begin planning and identifying possible funding options to repair and/or replace infrastructure assets. The City is faced with the challenge of managing a range of aging infrastructure assets that are critical to maintaining an aging City while serving new development. Making sound decisions about asset maintenance and replacement requires detailed information about the assets’ expected life cycle, probability of failure, and capacity to meet the ongoing requirements necessary to sustain the system�
The CIP Program is a planning tool the City uses to identify and manage the City’s capital needs and priorities. As such, amendments are presented to Council throughout the year to address any changes in priority and/or emergency infrastructure repairs. On a continuous basis, project proposals are added to the City’s capital improvement budget and project management database (CIPACE). These proposals are based on recommendations from “guiding documents” (see list below) adopted by the City Council as well as condition assessments performed by staff from the Engineering & Capital Projects and Public Works Departments.

Capital Improvement Program → CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM SUMMARY 270
The process of establishing the annual CIP includes ranking proposals and projects, by reviewing the scopes, preliminary cost estimates, locations, and feasibility of each proposal. Projects are placed in order with the highest ranked receiving top priority, based on the following categories:
■ City Needs – Does the proposal address an existing need, problem and/or safety concern? ■ City Benefit – Does the proposal provide a benefit citywide or for a specific area? Does the proposal link to one of the City’s Strategic Goals?
■ Regulatory Concerns, Implementation Pathways – Is the proposal feasible based on time and cost necessary to meet federal, state and City regulations?
■ Methodology – Is the proposed scope and location consistent with a “guiding document” (see list below)? ■ Funding Limitations/Availability – Does the proposal require funding from the General Fund? Is the proposal fully or partially funded by grant funds?
Depending upon the availability of funding, lower ranked proposals may not be funded; however, they will remain on the Unfunded Proposals List to be addressed as resources become available. A list of non-funded projects is included as part of the CIP document.
Another tool used in ranking and formulating the CIP recommendations are “guiding documents” approved by the City Council. “Guiding Documents” are used in the ranking process to ensure proposed CIP projects are consistent with established program priorities and determine whether the project description fits within a specific master plan (i.e., Pedestrian Master Plan). The ”guiding documents” also provide more insight on the planned project details.
Typically, the development of these “guiding documents” includes a large public outreach element as described in the Public Input/Community Involvement section below. The following is a partial list of “guiding documents”, which have included public input from multiple stakeholders in the community. ■ General Plan
■ SANDAG 2050 Regional Transportation Program

■ Other Specific Plans (e.g., Urban Core Specific Plan, Palomar, Bayfront and Main Street Specific Plans) Operational Impact of Capital Projects
Typically, projects in the City’s Capital Improvement Plan and Budget only address the needs of existing assets and are not expected to substantially impact operational costs. However, if a new Fire Station, Library, Park, and/or Recreation Center was planned that had a significant operational impact, projected costs would be reflected in the City’s Five-Year Financial Plan, issued annually. Additionally, staffing, building maintenance, equipment maintenance, and utility costs associated with these facilities would be approved as part of the annual Budget Process. As a result, these costs would be specified within the Budget Document and identified under the Significant Budget Adjustment & Service Impact Sections of the Fire, Library and/or Community Services Departments.
Public Input/Community Involvement
As mentioned, the “guiding documents” included public input and involvement from multiple stakeholders. Throughout the development of a “guiding document”, a community engagement process is conducted in two phases and located in both eastern and western Chula Vista. During Phase 1, the outreach focuses on existing conditions.
Several workshop sessions and booths at local civic events are scheduled with community stakeholder groups so that valuable local insight to existing conditions and desired infrastructure requests can be discussed and defined.
Phase 2 focuses on soliciting feedback on the proposed networks and community priorities. Additional workshop sessions are scheduled to discuss progress made on refining proposed recommendations and priority or policy decisions needed to work towards a final scope and plan of action.
Once the final draft of the “guiding document” is completed, the document is brought before any of the relevant Boards, Commissions, Associations, and/or Civic Groups for their review before it is brought for approval and adoption by City Council. Continuous public input throughout the development of these “guiding documents” is maintained including web-based and map-based questionnaires, and electronic opinion surveys hosted on the City’s website. Furthermore, the public is provided notice of upcoming Boards & Commission Meetings and City Council Public Hearings. Typical summary of public outreach includes:
■ Community event booths for public to provide comments ■ Workshop sessions held at public library sites closest to project ■ Website surveys conducted during initial & final draft phases of project ■ Consultant outreach programs & mailouts during development of project ■ Presentations at Board & Commission Meetings prior to City Council adoption ■ Final draft presentation at City Council Public Hearings The City continuously works with local community-based groups, healthcare organizations, faith-based groups, senior groups, commissions, home-owner associations, chamber of commerce, non-profit organizations, and other stakeholders in the community such as:
■ Southwest Civic Association – citizen group interested in infrastructure needs within southwestern Chula Vista ■ Crossroads II – citizen group interested in new development projects as they progress through the Planning Commission’s and City Council’s approval process
■ Bike Walk Chula Vista – citizen group interested in bicycle & pedestrian infrastructure needs and programs ■ Chula Vista Elementary School District – organization interested in traffic calming and pedestrian safety measures near elementary schools
■ Sweetwater Union High School District – organization interested in traffic calming and pedestrian safety measures near middle schools and high schools
■ DCVA – business group interested in programs and redevelopment within the downtown Chula Vista area City of Chula Vista

Budget Development
Although a component of the City Manager’s overall budget, the CIP budget is developed separately by Engineering and Capital Projects staff on an annual basis. The CIP budget process runs parallel to the development process for the City’s operating budget, and they are subsequently presented together for City Council approval.
On June 7, 2022, a public hearing was held for the City Council to consider and adopt an amendment to the TransNet Local Street Improvement Program of projects for fiscal years 2022-2023 through 2026-27.
Public comment is a vital component of the “guiding documents” and the CIP process. The public also had the opportunity to comment on the proposed CIP . The initial proposed capital improvement project detail sheets are posted annually in April of each year on the Engineering and Capital Projects website for public comment and review. www.chulavistaca.gov/departments/public-works/projects
Additionally, the Engineering and Capital Projects Department publishes an annual proposed CIP budget. The document will be made available at the City Clerk’s Office, the Civic Center Library, Otay Ranch Mall Library, and the South Chula Vista Library.
The proposed program reaffirms the City’s commitment to identify resources to move us toward long-term sustainability of our City’s current assets as well as new improvements that accommodate growth.
The City will continue to collaborate with regional agencies, such as the Port, SANDAG, and Caltrans, to ensure that the needs of our City residents are met, taking into account the unique characteristics of our City and recognizing our role as the County’s second largest City and a leader in the South Bay�

CIP Revenue Summary
The Capital Improvement Program is supported by several funding sources. City staff continuously explore opportunities to diversify revenue and leverage funding for infrastructure improvements. The following chart and table summarize the funding sources for the FY 2025 CIP budget.
Fiscal Year 2025 CIP by Funding Source
City of Chula Vista
Proposed Budget FY 2025
Capital Improvement Program → CIP REVENUE SUMMARY
276
The Capital Improvement Budget is primarily supported by Transportation Sales Tax (TransNet), Gas Tax/RMRA (Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account), and Measure P funds. Chula Vista voters approved Measure P – a temporary, 10-year, half-cent sales tax to fund high priority infrastructure needs. TransNet is the largest stable source of revenues for Capital Improvement projects. Along with TransNet, Gas Tax/RMRA funds continue to provide a steady source of revenue for street related projects. Other major revenues in this year’s budget include federal grant funding from the Highway Bridge Program (HBP) and Sewer Facility Replacement funds for ongoing capital improvement projects. Additionally, Measure A will be used to fund the development of a new Fire Training Facility that will accommodate 230 Fire and EMS personnel and allow for future growth within the Fire Department. Competitive grant revenue sources remain steady with grant revenue growth opportunities in the imminent future. Transportation grants include the Active Transportation Program and Federal Highway Safety Improvement Program.
The following is a brief description of key funding sources which support the fiscal year 2025 Capital Improvement Budget:
Development Impact Fees
Traffic Signal Fee
The Traffic Signal Fee is a trip-based development impact fee that is charged with the issuance of building permits for new construction. The fee can be utilized for the installation and upgrade of traffic signals throughout the City.
No Traffic Signal DIF funding is programmed in fiscal year 2025.
Transportation Development Impact Fee (TDIF)
The City’s TDIF Program was established on January 12, 1988, by Ordinance 2251 for the collection of development impact fees to be used to construct transportation facilities to accommodate increased traffic generated by new development within the City’s eastern territories. Approximately $20,000 is programmed as part of the fiscal year 2025 CIP .
Western Transportation Development Impact Fee (WTDIF)
The City’s WTDIF Program was established on March 18, 2008, by Ordinances 3106 through 3110. This program is similar to the Eastern Transportation Development Impact Fee (TDIF) Program, which was established on January 12, 1988. In 2014, it was determined that the Bayfront, previously included in the WTDIF , be removed and a new DIF area covering only the Bayfront be established. No WTDIF is programmed as part of the fiscal year 2025 CIP .
Telegraph Canyon Development Impact Fee
The City’s Telegraph Canyon DIF was established on August 7, 1990, by Ordinance 2384 for collection of development impact fees to be used to construct drainage and channel improvements for the Telegraph Canyon Basin. No Telegraph Canyon DIF funds are programmed in the fiscal year 2025 CIP .
Public Facilities Development Impact Fees
The Public Facilities Development Impact Fee (PFDIF) is levied against new development throughout the City to mitigate the impacts of growth on the City’s public services. The monies collected are used in the construction of new, and renovation of existing public facilities. No PFDIF is programmed in the fiscal year 2025 CIP .
Grants
California Active Transportation Grant Program
The Legislature created the Active Transportation Program (ATP) in 2013 to encourage increased use of active modes of transportation, such as biking and walking. The ATP consolidates existing federal and state transportation programs – including the Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP), Bicycle Transportation Account (BTA), and Safe Routes to School (SR2S) – into a single program with a focus to make California a national leader in active transportation. ATP Cycle 6 was announced in early 2022 and included about $440 million of Federal, State SB1, and State Highway (SHA) funding. The funding/programming years for ATP Cycle 6 include FY23/24, 24/25, 25/26, and 26/27. Regionally, $61.9 million was available and Chula Vista received approximately 21%, or $12.8 million for City of Chula Vista
Proposed Budget FY 2025
Capital Improvement Program → CIP REVENUE SUMMARY
277
two projects. Therefore, $12.8 million in ATP grant funds were programmed in the fiscal year 2024 CIP Program for two ATP projects: F Street Promenade - Phase 1 (Bay Blvd to Broadway) and the Bayshore Bikeway - Segment 6A (E Street to Lagoon Dr.). There are no additional ATP funds programmed as part of the fiscal year 2025 CIP .
TransNet Active Transportation Grant Program (San Diego Region) The TransNet Active Transportation Grant Program (ATGP) is also funded with Transportation Development Act (TDA) funds. The grant program encourages local jurisdictions to plan and build facilities that promote multiple travel choices and increase connectivity to transit, schools, retail centers, parks work, and other community gathering places. It also encourages agencies to provide bike parking, education, encouragement, and awareness programs that support pedestrian and bike infrastructure. There are no ATGP grant funds programmed as part of the fiscal year 2025 CIP Program.
Community Development Block Grant Funds
Each year, the City receives approximately $2.4 million in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds. Of this amount approximately $1.3 million is available for community development activities, which include capital improvement projects. In 2006, the City of Chula Vista received a CDBG Section 108 loan in the amount of $9.5 million for the completion of the Castle Park Infrastructure Projects. While the project has been completed, the City continues to allocate funding for the annual debt service payments of approximately $650,000 annually. This reduces the amount of CDBG funds available for other capital projects to approximately $0.3 - $0.5 million annually for the next few years. In addition to regular CDBG entitlement funds, the City received an additional $3 million through the CDBG CARES Act to respond to COVID related and homeless issues in the City. In 2022, the City began construction of a new homeless bridge shelter, which was completed in August of 2023. No CDBG funds are programmed as part of the fiscal year 2025 CIP Program.
Highway Bridge Program
The Highway Bridge Program (HBP) provides funding to enable states to improve the condition of their highway bridges through replacement, rehabilitation, and systematic preventive maintenance of deficient bridges. Included in the fiscal year 2024 Capital Improvement Program are two major bridge replacement projects: STL-0261, “Willow Street Bridge Widening, ” at the Sweetwater River and STM-0386 “Heritage Road Bridge Replacement, ” at the Otay River.
The original Willow Street bridge was constructed in 1940 and, through a series of studies, was determined that it was not practical to rehabilitate the bridge, so funding for full replacement was subsequently approved by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and Caltrans, which administers the HBP Grant Program in California. The Willow Street Bridge Replacement Project has been completed and provides an arched 610-foot-long bridge with four traffic lanes, 8-foot shoulders (bike lanes), and 5.5-foot sidewalks. The project consisted of two phases; $3.5 million water transmission line relocations and $16.7 million bridge replacement and was completed November of 2020. The total project cost for design and environmental clearance, construction, and construction administration was $23 million in HBP funds. Habitat mitigation monitoring, reporting and maintenance for the 5-Year Maintenance Period is currently underway and is set to end on July 1, 2024.
The existing four-lane bridge at Heritage Road was built using FEMA emergency funding as an interim facility in 1993 when heavy flood waters destroyed the original two-lane river crossing. This interim bridge is inadequate for peak traffic volumes, does not accommodate pedestrians, special event vehicle volumes, and is unable to convey the 50-year storm without being overtopped. FHWA and Caltrans approved the bridge for replacement as the existing bridge is Functionally Obsolete (FO) and the cost of rehabilitation exceeded replacement.
In 2014, the Heritage Road Bridge Replacement Project was accepted into the HBP . As of January 2024, approved grant funds total $6.8 million for preliminary engineering and $354,000 for right-of-way acquisition. An additional $3 million in grant funds have been approved for purchase of mitigation banking credits. However, the previously selected bank is unavailable to the project due to banking administrative constraints. A mitigation bank in the project’s tributary is working to be established, should it become accredited, the project would evaluate for use.
Currently, all mitigation is proposed onsite. The project design is completed and construction permits/mitigation from the Resource Agencies are near approval. Pending construction programming has been identified in the amount City of Chula Vista

of $45.5 million with total cost anticipated at $53.6 million (including construction management). Advertising of the construction contract is anticipated Spring of 2024, with construction beginning in the Fall of 2024 and open to traffic in fiscal year 2027. Development Impact Fees from both Chula Vista and the City of San Diego benefit areas will provide the required matching funds. Approximately $35 million in HBP funding is programmed in fiscal year 2025 for the Heritage Road Bridge Replacement project.

Highway Safety Improvement Program
The Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) was established to attain a significant reduction in traffic fatalities and serious injuries on all public roads through the implementation of infrastructure-related highway safety improvements. There are no HSIP Grant funds programmed as part of the fiscal year 2025 CIP .
Neighborhood Reinvestment Program
The Neighborhood Reinvestment Program (NEP) provides grant funds to County departments, public agencies, and to non-profit community organizations for one-time community, social, environmental, educational, cultural or recreational needs. No NEP funds are programmed in the fiscal year 2025 CIP .
Smart Growth Incentive Program Grant
The TransNet Smart Growth Initiative Program (SGIP) provides funding for transportation-related infrastructure improvements and planning efforts that support smart growth development in Smart Growth Opportunity Areas as shown on the Smart Growth Concept Map (updated May 2016). The goal is to fund comprehensive public infrastructure projects and planning activities that facilitate compact, mixed-use, transit-oriented development and increase housing and transportation choices. There are no SGIP funds programmed as part of the fiscal year 2025 CIP .
Rubberized Pavement Grant Program
The California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) provides the Rubberized Pavement Grant Program to promote markets for recycled-content surfacing products derived from waste tires generated in California and decrease the adverse environmental impacts created by unlawful disposal and stockpiling of waste tires. Rubberized Asphalt Concrete (RAC) is a proven road paving material that has been used in California since the 1970s. Under the Pavement Grant Program, two project types are eligible for grant funding - RAC and Rubberized Chip Seal projects. No Rubberized Pavement Grant funds are programmed as part of the fiscal year 2025 CIP .
Miscellaneous Funds
General Fund
The General Fund is the City’s main operating fund used to pay for City services. No General Fund monies are programmed as part of the fiscal year 2025 CIP . Capital improvement projects will be funded by the Measure P commitment�
Residential Construction Tax (RCT)
The Residential Construction Tax (RCT) was established by the City Council in October 1971 to provide a more equitable distribution of the burden of financing parks, open spaces, public facilities, and other capital improvements, the need for which is created by the increasing population of the City. The RCT is applicable to all new residential units and paid by the person constructing the units. RCT funds are used to pay for debt service obligations resulting from the issuance of Certificates of Participation (COP’s) for western Chula Vista failing CMP repairs. No RCT funds are programmed as part of the fiscal year 2025 CIP .
Capital Improvement Project Fund
The Capital Improvement Fund was established to set aside monies for capital improvement projects. This fund does not generate revenues from any source except by transfer from other funds. Monies transferred to the fund are expended for budgeted capital improvement projects and monies remaining after completion of a project are transferred back to the fund from which the project was originally financed. No CIP funds are programmed as part of the fiscal year 2025 CIP .
Park Acquisition and Development Fund
The Park Acquisition and Development (PAD) fund is a depository for fees collected from subdividers for the purpose of providing park and recreational facilities directly benefiting and serving the residents of the regulated subdivisions east and west of the 805. These funds are collected pursuant to Chapter 17.10 of the Chula Vista Municipal Code, City of Chula Vista
Proposed Budget FY 2025
Capital Improvement Program → CIP REVENUE SUMMARY
280
in accordance with authority granted by Section 66477 of the California Government Code. A total of $500,000 in PAD funds are programmed in the fiscal year 2025 CIP Program to supplement a previously awarded state grant in the amount of $1.86 million. The new park will be located on D Street, west of Woodlawn Avenue, and will increase park acreage in western Chula Vista. Construction is expected to begin in the Fall of 2024..
American Rescue Plan Act Funds
On May 10, 2021, the U.S. Department of the Treasury announced the launch of the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds, established by the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA), to provide $350 billion in emergency funding for eligible state, local, territorial, and Tribal governments. The Treasury also released details on how these funds can be used to respond to acute pandemic response needs, fill revenue shortfalls among these governments, and support the communities and populations hardest-hit by the COVID-19 crisis. With the launch of the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds, eligible jurisdictions have been able to access this funding to address these needs. The Treasury has launched much-needed relief to:
■ Support urgent COVID-19 response efforts to continue to decrease spread of the virus and bring the pandemic under control;
■ Replace lost public sector revenue to strengthen support for vital public services and help retain jobs; ■ Support immediate economic stabilization for households and businesses; and, ■ Address systemic public health and economic challenges that have contributed to the unequal impact of the pandemic on certain populations�
The Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds provide substantial flexibility for each jurisdiction to meet local needs—including support for households, small businesses, impacted industries, essential workers, and the communities hardest-hit by the crisis. These funds also deliver resources that recipients can invest in building, maintaining, or upgrading their water, sewer, and broadband infrastructure. There are no ARPA funds programmed in the fiscal year 2025 CIP Program.
Voter Approved Funds
Proposition 1B Highway Funds
In 2007, the voters of the State of California approved Proposition 1B. This proposition included funds to be provided to cities within the State for local roadway improvements. The initial allocation of $3.6 million was spent on pavement rehabilitation projects in fiscal year 2011. The second allocation of $3.3 million was frozen by the State of California due to the State’s financial crisis and released in late April 2010 in monthly installments. As a result, the State provided an additional year of expenditure for Prop 1B funds received in fiscal year 2010. The City spent the second allocation of Prop 1B funds prior to June 2014.
Gas Tax/RMRA
The state of California imposes per-gallon excise taxes on gasoline and diesel fuel, sales taxes on gasoline and diesel fuel and registration taxes on motor vehicles with allocations dedicated to transportation purposes. These allocations flow through the Highway Users Tax Account (HUTA), the familiar gasoline tax revenues that have been in place for decades, and the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account which allocates much of the revenue from the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 (SB1 Beall). The SB1 Beall is a significant investment in California’s transportation systems. The Act increases per gallon fuel excise taxes, diesel fuel sales taxes and vehicle registration taxes, stabilizes the problematic price-based fuel tax rates and provides for inflationary adjustments to rates in future years. The Act significantly increased local streets and road funds allocated through the Highway Users Tax Account, allocating funds from new taxes through the “Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA). In fiscal year 2025, the Gas Tax-RMRA budget is approximately $500,000 for pavement rehabilitation and maintenance based on the City’s Pavement Management System.
Transportation Sales Tax
City of Chula Vista
Proposed Budget FY 2025
Capital Improvement Program → CIP REVENUE SUMMARY
281
Transportation Sales Tax (TransNet) funds are derived from sales tax revenues levied in San Diego County that are collected by the State specifically for use on transportation related projects in San Diego County. The regional metropolitan planning agency, San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG), programs these funds to municipalities within San Diego County. Revenues vary from year-to-year, depending on the amount of sales tax available to the region and the number and costs of projects for which municipalities, local transit, and Caltrans request funding. The revenue approved for municipalities is based on the specific cost estimates that are required to be submitted as part of the annual request for funding. The TransNet Extension Ordinance states that at least 70% of the funds allocated to local agencies for local road projects should be used to fund Congestion Relief (CR) projects. CR projects include the construction of new or expanded facilities, major rehabilitation and reconstruction of roadways, traffic signalization, transportation infrastructure to support smart growth, capital improvements for transit facilities, and operating support for local shuttle and circulator transit routes. No more than 30% of TransNet funds allocated to local agencies are expected to be used for local street and road maintenance. In the fiscal year 2025 CIP , the TransNet budget is approximately $9.2 million.
Measure P
On August 2, 2016, the City Council approved Ordinance 3371 modifying the Municipal Code to establish a temporary one-half cent General Transactions and Use Tax if approved by the voters. As part of the action to approve the Ordinance, the City Council approved a spending plan described as the Intended Infrastructure, Facilities and Equipment Expenditure Plan, which identified how the funds were to be allocated. On November 8, 2016, Chula Vista voters approved Measure P , authorizing the one-half cent sales tax increase on retail sales within the City for a period of ten (10) years. The Finance Department created the 2016 Measure P Sales Tax Fund for the purpose of monitoring all revenues and expenditures of Measure P funds. All expenditures of Measure P funds will be tracked and accounted for by the Finance Department in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and presented annually in a report to the Citizens’ Oversight Committee (COC). Approximately $50,000 in Measure P funds are programmed as part of the fiscal year 2025 CIP .
Sewer Funds
Sewer Service Revenue
The Special Sewer fund is used to account for the sale of the City’s excess Metropolitan Sewerage Capacity. A total of $250,000 in Special Service funds are programmed in the fiscal year 2025 CIP to fund the Sewer Cost of Service (Rate) Study, which will evaluate the sewer service charges to ensure they will cover the costs to operate and maintain the city’s sewer system. The study is approved for a five-year period, takes 6-12 months to complete, and another six months to implement.
Trunk Sewer Capital Reserve
The Trunk Sewer Capital Reserve Fund is a permit fee-based revenue source received from the owner or person applying for a permit to develop or modify the use of any residential, commercial, industrial, or other property that may increase the volume of flow in the City’s sewer system. The funds may be used for: (1) to repair, replace or enlarge trunk sewer facilities to enhance efficiency of utilization and/or adequacy of capacity to serve the needs of the City, or (2) to plan and/or evaluate any future proposals for area-wide sewage treatment and/or water reclamations systems and facilities. No Truck Sewer Capital Reserve funds are programmed in the fiscal year 2025 CIP .
Sewer Facility Replacement Fund
The Sewer Facility Replacement Fund is a fee-based revenue source that all properties pay each month as part of their sewer bills. The funds can be utilized to replace, rehabilitate or upgrade existing sewer facilities. Approximately $4 million in Sewer Facility Replacement funds are programmed in the fiscal year 2025 CIP .
Sewer Development Impact Fee Funds
These fees are levied against new development in specific areas of the City, based upon the sewer facility their project will impact. The monies collected are used to fund construction of public improvements designed to increase the capacity of the subject facilities, allowing the City to maintain service levels with increased demand.

In addition, a total of $300,000 is programmed for a Sewer Fees Analysis and Sewer Cost of Service (Rate) Study.
A complement to the Wastewater Master Plan is the Wastewater Asset Management Plan (WAMP) focusing on existing infrastructure. The WAMP utilizes condition assessments already completed or underway to establish a priority level for rehabilitations/replacements to ensure reliability of facilities. No additional funding is programmed for the WAMP as part of the fiscal year 2025 CIP .
Drainage Management System (DMS)
The appropriation for Drainage Management System (DMS) projects is $25,000 which represents 0.03% of the proposed CIP budget.
Drainage
CMP located outside the right of way and within drainage easements in critical or unknown condition, was funded for rehabilitation/replacement using Measure P . No funding for CMP rehabilitation is programmed in the fiscal year 2025 CIP .
Similarly, CMP in critical condition within the right of way has been assigned funding using Gas Tax and TransNet.
CMP in satisfactory condition, regardless of location, will continue to be monitored and assigned funding as the needs arise�
The Statewide Trash Amendments mandate that jurisdictions control the discharge of trash from Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4) into receiving waters. In response, the City has devised an Implementation Plan to meet these regulations, with a final compliance deadline set for fiscal year 2029. This plan entails the installation and perpetual maintenance of Full Capture Trash Best Management Practices (BMPs) within storm drains in the targeted areas�
To outline the City’s approach to compliance with the Trash Amendments, City Council adopted Resolution 2017- 158, which delineates the adopted strategies and commitment. Project DRN0214 is a focal point of these efforts, with $125,000 allocated in previous years to prevent trash from infiltrating local creeks, rivers, and San Diego Bay.
An additional $25,000 is programmed to this project as part of the fiscal year 2025 CIP .

Building Management System (BMS)
The appropriation for Building Management System (BMS) projects is approximately $17.9 million and represents
22.07% of the proposed CIP budget. Programming includes $2.7M of Measure P funding for the Public Building and Repairs project (GGV0234), and $15.2 million of Measure A funding for the development of a new fire training facility.
Additional funding provided by Measure P in preceding years supports several ongoing, multi-year projects focused on completing building repairs and replacing assets that have reached or surpassed their expected useful life. These projects encompass essential facilities such as Fire Stations, the Police Facility, Civic Center, South Libraries, and other public buildings. The allocated funds will ensure the maintenance and enhancement of these vital community assets�
Fleet Management System (FMS)
There are no CIP projects associated with Fleet infrastructure. However, since the adoption of Measure P , approximately $34 million has been allocated towards replacing 169 no-public safety vehicles, 150 police vehicles, and 39 fire vehicles that had exceeded their recommended replacement period. Measure P funds have also facilitated the installation of electric charging stations at select municipal facilities, supporting the integration of new electric vehicles into the fleet.
Other funds, such as Wastewater, Development Services, and Measure A also fund vehicle replacement and/or new additions to the Fleet in order to meet service needs.
Parks Management System (PMS)
The appropriation for Park Management System (PMS) projects is $1.9 million, which represents 2.34% of the proposed CIP budget.
Approximately $1.4 million in Measure P funds are planned for park infrastructure asset replacements and repairs associated with drinking fountains, irrigation controls, lights, picnic tables, benches, and similar amenities.
Additionally, repairs may also include efforts to bring the City’s sports fields up to good standing.
Fiscal Year 2025 also includes $500,000 in funding from the Western Parkland Acquisition and Development fund to supplement $1.9 million in state grant funding awarded to the City for the design and construction of Patty Davis Park (PRK0341).
Open Space Management System (OSMS)
The Open Space Districts and Community Facility Districts (CFD’s) were established with new subdivisions beginning in the 1980s. These funding mechanisms were established to ensure sustainable improvements in the natural and landscaped areas in and around the new developments. These fees were structured to allow incremental adjustment with inflation and have generally kept pace with the maintenance needs of the districts. There are no CIP projects associated with the Open Space Management System.
Urban Forestry Management System (UFMS)
The Urban Forestry Management System is responsible for monitoring the overall health of trees throughout the City, including street trees, park trees, and trees located on City property. The City continues to maintain City street trees to:
■ Ensure ongoing traffic safety along City streets;
■ Enhance the appearance and image of the City;
■ Improve the air quality and the environment for City residents; and ■ Clear right-of-way obstructions.
Industry standard sets the ideal schedule for periodic tree trimming as follows: Palms need to be trimmed every 1 or 2 years. Non-palms are recommended to be trimmed every 3‐5 years (eucalyptus and pine every 2‐3 and broadleaf City of Chula Vista

every 5‐6). Based on an inventory of about 27,500 trees and using 5 years, the annual goal is to trim 5,500 trees.
There are no CIP projects associated with the Urban Forestry Management System.
General Government Management System (GGMS)
The appropriation for General Government Management System (GGMS) projects is $60,000, which represents
0.07% of the proposed CIP budget.
General Government
The City has approximately 164 Miles of aboveground electric distribution wires on arterial/collector streets (20A Program) and on local streets (20B Program) with an estimated cost to underground of $275 million. The Franchise Agreement with SDG&E Allocation is $2 million per year from 20A funds and about 33 miles of arterial/collector streets qualify, but at a cost of about $134 million. Close to $40 million has been expended on underground projects since the 1990’s. As of Spring 2023, the City’s 20A fund allocation has a positive balance of approximately $12 million.
Draw down on the balance is expected in 2023 as the design work for UUD# 141 is completed and the conversion work commences.
On November 21, 2017, the City Council held a Public Hearing and formed the two Utility Undergrounding Districts (UUD) for the F Street corridor: F Street from Bay Blvd. to Broadway (UUD #141) – $3 million, and from Broadway to Fourth Avenue (UUD #142) – $1.6 million via Resolution 2017-216. Design work has commenced with SDG&E on UUD #141 and the undergrounding of the utilities will begin in 2023 with completion estimated in 2024. The cost estimate of UUD #141 was recently increased to $5.9 million to reflect current design plans and inflationary increases in construction costs. MTS also removed approximately 1,550 LF of railroad tracks, ties, ballast and repaved the center of F Street west of Broadway in August of 2019 at a cost of about $600,000. SDG&E began the conversion work for UUD # 141 on F street in 2023, which will be followed by the F Street Promenade Streetscape Improvements funded with almost $10 million in Active Transportation Program Grant funds. The conversion work east of Broadway on UUD #142 is anticipated to closely follow UUD #141 completion, but the CPUC has taken a decision to sunset the 20A Program as of December 31, 2022. It is unclear at this time if a new program will be created to continue utility undergrounding�
A total of $60,000 is programmed for advance planning associated with the Citywide CIP Program.
Regional Projects
The City of Chula Vista CIP includes funding for several planning level studies related to regional projects. Regional projects are predominantly funded and led by regional agencies such as Caltrans or SANDAG, however, City staff is often involved in the delivery of these projects, since they provide a direct benefit to the community and provide sustainable infrastructure. CIP funding for regional projects is often necessary to assist regional agencies with initiating projects and to fund City staff costs. The following is a summary of various regional projects:
Interstate-5 Multi-modal Corridor Study
In an effort to identify all transportation related improvements needed along, across and within the four-mile long Interstate-5 and rail corridor in Chula Vista, the City has combined efforts with Caltrans, Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) and SANDAG to undertake this planning level study. Funding is provided by a combination of TransNet and two Federal grants. The study has three phases of work, which are all now completed.
Phase I identified and prioritized needed transportation improvements to improve mobility and goods movement within the study area bounded by SR-54 and Main Street. The results of the first phase study included in the 2050 Regional Transportation Plan adopted by SANDAG in October 2011 and in 2015. This report is used as a technical appendix to the SANDAG 2050 Regional Transportation Plan. Rail improvements were identified as the highest near- term need and led to the SANDAG’s Board of Directors approval of the design phase at Palomar Street. Design began in 2021 and will be completed by the end of 2025.

Phase II, the Chula Vista Light Rail Corridor Improvements Project Study Report, is a grade separation study for each of the three light rail trolley stations at E Street, H Street and Palomar Street. This document, completed in August 2012, has planning level work for the ultimate rail corridor improvements in Chula Vista. Final recommendations from the Light Rail Train (LRT) Improvement study were incorporated into the Phase III environmental work for the Palomar Street location as well as future regional plans and as individual projects into the Bayfront Development Impact Fee Program, the Western Transportation Development Impact Fee (WTDIF) Program and the CIP program. https:/ /www.chulavistaca.gov/home/showpublisheddocument/16349/636542936250330000 In April of 2017, the E Street, F Street & H Street rail corridor study was updated to include additional information on project limits and a program level cost estimate. The “CHULA VISTA LIGHT RAIL CORRIDOR IMPROVEMENTS FINAL SUPPLEMENTAL PROJECT STUDY REPORT” functions as a supplemental report to the 2012 Project Study Report, and whose purpose is to document the analysis of one additional alternative for grade-separating the MTS (San Diego Metropolitan Transit System) LRT tracks from the roadway crossings at E and H Streets by combining the two grade separations into one project. Since F Street is between E and H Streets, this combined project would also grade-separate the F Street crossing� The three future grade separated tracks are also used by the freight trains that travel through this corridor.
The completed Phase I and Phase II studies serve to identify an accurate project description for Phase III, which commenced in FY 2013-14 for the environmental work and preliminary engineering of grade-separating the Palomar Street railroad crossing near the intersection with Industrial Blvd. On January 28, 2020, the City Council approved the Project Report for the Palomar Street Rail Grade Separation Project with Resolution 2020-015. A freight rail and LRT grade-separation Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the Palomar Street rail crossing commenced in FY 2013-14 and was completed during this phase.
Chula Vista Light Rail Corridor Improvements
www.chulavistaca.gov/departments/engineering/light-rail-corridor-improvements This environmental and preliminary design work was the last phase of the I-5 Multi-modal Corridor Study. The Palomar Street crossing is the highest priority LRT grade-separation project out of 27 study locations evaluated within San Diego County. City staff worked with SANDAG staff to obtain the $5 million design phase funded in FY20 for the next phase of work for Palomar Street. SANDAG and the City of Chula Vista were awarded $21.5 million through the Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity (RAISE) program. These funds will be used for the project’s design phase, which includes acquiring right-of-way and relocating utilities ahead of the start of construction. The construction phase is likely to get regional, State & Federal funding once the design phase nears completion in late 2025. The design phase is estimated to take 24 to 30 months. Pending SANDAG funding for the construction phase in FY25, construction could be up to 36 months in duration with a project completion date sometime in FY2029�

The H Street and the E street locations rank fourth and sixth, respectively. Due to the proximity of the F Street crossing and freight rail profile design constraints between the Sweetwater River and the J Street rail crossing, F Street must be grade separated along with the E Street and H Street rail crossings. The updated April 2017 E Street & H Street Grade Separation Project Alternatives Analyses/Feasibility Study (AA/FS) Report was completed with input from the freight rail operator. This AA/FS report provides additional information on the extent of the work needed from south of the Sweetwater River to a point south of the J Street crossing for this corridor. The AA/FS report also includes a preliminary opinion of probable costs�
Ultimate improvements for this freight and LRT rail corridor are planned for in the SANDAG Regional Transportation Plan and shown in Appendix A.

This project titled “Blue Line/Mid-Coast Frequency Enhancements and rail grade separations at 28th St, 32nd St, E St, H St, Palomar St, at Taylor St and Ash St, and Blue/Orange Track Connection at 12th/Imperial” is included as in the ”2019 Federal Regional Transportation Plan” – Appendix A, as a two phased project with a planned completion date of Year 2035 for the work within Chula Vista. No funding is yet identified for the E Street (& F Street) to H Street rail corridor other than the current design phase of work at Palomar Street. As indicated below, the Chula Vista locations are planned to be completed by year 2035. In FY21, staff submitted to SANDAG an application packet for all four Chula Vista rail improvements so that they can be considered in the next Federal Transportation Act.
Phase I – Blue Line Frequency Enhancements and rail grade separations at 28th St, 32nd St, E St, H St, Palomar St, and Blue/Orange Track Connection at 12th/Imperial (Year 2035).
Phase II – Blue Line rail grade separations at Taylor St and Ash St (Year 2050).
Main Street Extension from Heritage Road to La Media Road.
The project is in coordination with the development community to consider several roadway alignments of which one includes a bridge over Wolf Canyon and associated utilities. The initial work involves meeting with the resource agencies and Caltrans, which will ultimately result in the completion of the environmental document and preliminary level bridge and utility design. The development community continues their evaluation of various land use alternatives that will determine the timing and alignment needs for this arterial roadway but more immediate needs are further east along the SR-125 corridor.
On July 30, 2020, as new development continues in the southeastern portion of the City in Otay Ranch, the developer, with approval by the City, initiated work with Caltrans on a future pair of $65M interchanges at SR-125/Main Street and at SR-125/Otay Valley Road (La Media Road). Additional discussion with Caltrans has been conducted on the first interchange with SR-125 at the easterly terminus of Main Street between Magdalena Avenue and westerly extension of Hunte Parkway from Eastlake Parkway. To eventually proceed to the construction phase for the initial interchange at Main Street, a Project Initiation Document (PID) via a Project Study Report has been completed for the project and is currently in the environmental clearance phase. Design phase for the project is anticipated in FY25.
The second location is an overcrossing planned south of Main Street at Otay Valley Road. Otay Valley Road is the south-to-easterly extension of La Media Road across the SR-125 corridor. This overcrossing is needed but may be constructed as a secondary interchange pending the traffic and geometric studies.
The phase of work and completion of work timeline for the SR-125 interchanges are:

Measure A Fund Summary
Measure A Fund Summary
The Measure A fund accounts for revenues and expenditures related to the approved ballot measure adopting a one-half (½) cent Public Safety General Transactions and Use Tax (Sales Tax) in the City of Chula Vista.
In December 2017, City staff presented the Public Safety Staffing Strategies Report to the City Council. This report outlined staffing proposals for the Police and Fire Department that addressed critical needs. After discussions regarding the critical needs and funding options, the City Council directed the City Manager to return with a proposal for Council consideration to place a half-cent sales tax measure before the voters to fund public safety critical needs.
In February 2018, City staff presented the City Council with a ballot measure to consider for placement to address public safety staffing on the ballot in June 2018. The tax will remain in place, Measure A sales tax does not have a sunset date. Concurrent with the approval of placing the measure on the ballot, the City Council adopted an Intended Public Safety Expenditure Plan for the anticipated revenues generated from the measure.
On June 5, 2018 Chula Vista voters approved Measure A, authorizing the one-half cent sales tax increase. Collection of the sales tax began October 1, 2018.
The sales tax will allow the Chula Vista Fire and Police Departments to provide faster responses to 9-1-1 emergency calls, increase neighborhood police patrols, reduce gang and drug-related crimes, address homelessness, and improve firefighter, paramedic and emergency medical response times.
The City has established a separate fund to track and account for income and expenses and appointed a Citizen’s Oversight Committee (“COC”) to ensure transparency in the use of Measure A Funds.
Revenues
The fiscal year 2025 Proposed Budget reflects the allocation of approximately $29.0 million in Measure A sales tax revenues and approximately $0.1 million from Bayfront reimbursement for the Fire Department for a total of $29.1 million in revenues. Sales tax revenues are received in the City’s General Fund, and then transferred into the Measure A Fund.

Measure P Fund Summary
The Measure P fund accounts for revenues and expenditures related to the approved ballot measure adopting a one-half (½) cent General Transactions and Use Tax (Sales Tax) in the City of Chula Vista.
On August 2, 2016, the City Council approved Ordinance 3371 (“Ordinance”) modifying the Municipal Code to establish a temporary one-half cent Sales Tax if approved by the voters. As part of the action to approve the Ordinance, the City Council approved a spending plan described as the Intended Infrastructure, Facilities and Equipment Expenditure Plan (Expenditure Plan), which identified how the funds were to be allocated.
On November 8, 2016 Chula Vista voters approved Measure P , authorizing the one-half cent sales tax increase on retail sales within the City for a period of ten (10) years.
Collection of the sales tax began April 1, 2017. The sales tax is anticipated to exceed the original estimated amount of $177.8 million over the ten-year collection period. The proceeds of the tax will be used to upgrade police, fire, paramedic and 9-1-1 equipment, vehicles and facilities; fund streets and sidewalks; replace storm drains to prevent sinkholes; improve parks; repair recreation facilities; and repair or replace other City infrastructure.
The City has established a separate fund to track and account for income and expenses and appointed a Citizen’s Oversight Committee (“COC”) to ensure transparency in the use of Measure P Funds. 28
