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 descriptions, mission statements, strategic goals, key performance measures, significant budget adjustments and service impacts, operating budgets, and staffing 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: Development Services Fund, Successor Agency and Housing Funds, Sewer Funds, Fleet Fund, Capital Projects Funds, Debt Service 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 expenditures are budgeted in a separate fund. The Measure A Sales Tax 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 expenditures related to the voter approved one- half cent Sales Tax. The Measure P Sales Tax 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. The basis of budgeting is the same as the basis of accounting,
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 2025.

BUDGET PROCESS
City of Chula Vista
Proposed Budget FY 2027
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 2027 budget cycle began with a preliminary base budget developed by the Finance Department’ s Budget and Analysis staff in January 2026. The base budget accounts for the normal operating costs of the City.
Through April 2026, 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 5, 2026. At this meeting, the Council can accept the fiscal year 2027 City Manager’ s proposed operating budget as their own, with minor changes in appropriations, and set the public hearing date of May 19, 2026, 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 is currently in the process of adopting a new citywide Strategic Plan. When adopted by City Council, the strategic plan will establish a clear and shared vision for the City’s future and align resources toward that vision.
It will guide decision making by setting priorities, goals, and measurable outcomes that ensure accountability and transparency. Ultimately, a strong strategic plan guides the city proactively to address needs, improve services, and strengthen quality of life for residents and businesses.
In this budget, you will find department specific strategic goals and key performance measures, which will be updated next fiscal year to align with the new citywide Strategic Plan.
Budget Development Milestones
November 18, 2025

10 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 2026- 27 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 2026-27 budget development process included opportunities for public input, occurring in open and publicly accessible forums, via an online budget survey and 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 planned 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 2026-27 Proposed Budget is a balanced budget. Operating revenues are budgeted to support the operating expenditures, including debt service, for the 2026-27 fiscal year.
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, apositive fund balance will result ( surplus) and add to the historical, accumulated fund balance. When expenditures exceed revenues in a fiscal year, anegative fund balance will result deficit) and reduce the accumulated fund balance. An accumulated positive fund balance may also be restricted/ earmarked for usage or unrestricted as to its use. For instance, City Council has set forth policies to maintain April 15 & 22, 2026; May 4, 2026
Three public meetings were held at City library branches and a senior community center to provide an overview of the City Manager’ s Proposed Budget.
April 30, 2026
The City Manager’ s Proposed Budget Document was submitted to City Council as required by the City Charter, which was at least thirty-five ( 35) days prior to the beginning of the fiscal year. Copies of the Proposed Budget were made available for public review on the City’s website.
May 5, 2026
Staff presented to City Council the Fiscal Year 2027 City Manager’ s Proposed Budget for Council consideration and acceptance of the Budget as the City Council’s Proposed Budget Staff recommended a public hearing for adoption of the Proposed Budget be scheduled for the May 19, 2026 City Council meeting. Leading up to this hearing, the City Council’s Proposed Budget was be made available for public review for at least ten (10) days. A comment form was provided on the City website to accept public comment.
May 19, 2026
A public hearing was tentatively scheduled to be held before the City Council considers adoption of the Proposed Budget. To comply with the City Charter, a notice of the public hearing was published in the local newspaper at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting.

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
The latest forecast from UCLA Anderson economists’ Spring 2026 Economic Outlook is the national economy regaining momentum” in 2026 after 2025’s year of uncertainty from changes in tariffs, immigration policies and government shutdowns. 1 With tax cuts under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, fiscal stimulus and continued investment in artificial intelligence ( AI), growth is expected at a near 3% rate.2 On the other hand, labor market stagnation is also a possibility as both jobs hiring and turnover slow.2
Consumers continue to feel elevated prices, with core Consumer Price Index (CPI) for All Urban Consumers nationally reported as rising to 3.3% percent over the last 12 months, in March 2026. 3 This is the highest level since May 2024, driven largely by a surge in energy costs. 3 The Federal Reserve made three cuts to interest rates in both 2024 and 2025 in an effort to stabilize prices; the probability of cuts in 2026 is now considered to be low.1 Early in 2026, national unemployment levels remain low at 4.3% per the March 2026 Bureau of Labor Statistics report 4 UCLA Anderson suggests the labor market is improving after stalling in 2025, with job gains in healthcare; however, improvements across sectors is uneven. 2
The chart below from the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis displays recent quarterly results of real GDP, a measure of the value of all goods and services produced in a country over a period of time (adjusted for inflation), which is an economic indicator of national growth. 5 Estimated results for the fourth quarter ( Q4) of 2025 were a 0.7% annual rate, down sharply from the third quarter ( Q3) results of 4.4% due to downturns in government spending and exports, and a deceleration in consumer spending, partly offset by an acceleration in investments. 5 Continued positive growth each quarter generally allays economists’ concerns that a recession is forthcoming. The most recent quarter’s lower rate is not surprising given the sustained federal government shutdown in October 2025, and is expected to normalize in the first quarter ( Q1) of 2026. The Federal Reserve will be closely monitoring this relatively positive economic growth in its policy decisions to reduce inflation and maximize employment.
City of Chula Vista
Proposed Budget FY 2027
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 via 2% unemployment and 2% inflation targets. Jobs reports and risk associated with a prolonged war in the Middle East causing oil and stock market volatility will be closely monitored by the Federal Reserve in decisionmaking for changing federal interest rates. In their latest meeting in March 2026, the Federal Reserve has maintained the federal fund rate at a target range of 3.5% to 3.75%.1 The rate has been held steady to continue to manage inflation, which is still somewhat elevated, as indicators suggest that economic activity has been expanding at a solid pace and the unemployment rate has been little changed in recent months
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. When the federal funds rate increases, 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 monitor whether changes in the rate hinders employment levels, price control and economic growth.
City Impacts: Interest rate fluctuations impact the City’ s finances by affecting: borrowing costs for capital projects and long-term investments; private investments growth; and investment returns on its cash balances. To a limited extent, interest rates impact the housing market and resultant property tax growth.
Labor
In the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics report from February 2026, the national unemployment rate was 4.4%, up slightly from 4.1% one year ago, with notable losses in information, federal government and healthcare. 2 Hints of a deterioration in labor market conditions are apparent, with tariff pressures remaining and more recent figures partially explained by healthcare strikes and winter storms. 3
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. Personnel Services expenditures are described in the General Fund Expenditures Summary section of this document

Proposed Budget FY 2027
Budget Message ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
17 Consumer Confidence / Consumption
Unemployment rates and consumer confidence in the economy greatly influence the growth in consumer spending and sales tax receipts, which are major revenues for local jurisdictions. Despite persistent worry about the cost of living and inflation expectations– somehwat influenced recently by oil and gas spikes from the war in Iran–consumer confidence inched up in March.1 However, there is an overall general downward trend in the index as consumer balance somewhat improved conditions with growing concerns about future costs. 1 City Impacts: Consumer confidence is interconnected with the City’ s levels of sales tax receipts over time. For Fiscal Year 2027, the City anticipates a slowing rate 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 for housing sent home prices soaring during the months after the onset of the COVID- 19 pandemic. Mortgage rates have undergone extreme volatility since, from record- breaking lows to highest levels in decades due to Federal Reserve interest rate changes. For the past two years, rates have stabilized, lingering between a 6% and 7% interest rate. 2 The average interest rate for a fixed 30- year mortgage was 6. 2% in April 2026, down slightly from 6.6% one year ago; rates remain high compared to April 2021, at just under 3%.2 Single-family homes continue to be unaffordable for many buyers and supply continues to slow as material, labor and capital costs climb and existing homeowners are locked in at low mortgage rates; these constraints would be exacerbated by further changes in trade ( e.g., tariffs) and immigration policy. According to the U.S. Census Bureau’s Economic Indicators report from March 2026, nationally sales of new single-family houses were down 11.3% in January compared to the prior year.3 The median sales price of new homes sold nationally in January 2026 was 400,500, a decline of 6.8% compared to one year ago, while the average price was $ 530,900, a decline of 3.6% compared to one year ago 3
City Impacts: Elevated home prices and change in home sales ( turnover rate) impacts the growth in assessed valuations and property tax revenues to the City. Property tax revenue is described in the General Fund Revenue Summary section of this document
State of California
The UCLA Anderson Spring 2026 Economic Outlook predicts California’ s economy’ s growth rate will outpace the national rate through 2026, with strong output growth despite unemployment weakness. 4 The Forecast assessed a 3.8% annualized fourth-quarter growth rate for California, well above the 1.4% national estimate and the fourth straight quarter of growth outpacing the national rate. 5 On the other hand, employment levels declined to 5.5% and has hovered around 5% for two years. 5 Certain sectors such as AI, aerospace and other high-tech industries are thriving, while construction, retail, and leisure and hospitality growth is slowing. 5 Unemployment: The State of California’ s Employment Development Department ( EDD) regularly releases a “Labor Market Review” publication. In the April 2026 edition, the EDD reported a 5.4% unemployment rate in February 2026 for the State of California, unchanged from one year ago in February 2025, and continuing to be significantly higher than the national unemployment rate at 4.4%.6 Regional performance varied significantly across the state, with coastal tech hubs typically showing lower unemployment than agricultural regions. California’ s unemployment has historically been higher than the national average due a combination of industry- specific struggles, high operational costs and structural economic factors

18 Gasoline: Across the state of California, the average price for a gallon of gasoline is consistently significantly higher than the national average, particularly due to state regulation, a reduction in operating oil refineries and state taxes on gasoline consumption. Elevating gasoline prices in California even further, the recent conflict in Iran has disrupted oil exports in the Middle East, leading to a recent sharp increase in the price of crude oil.1 Over the last several months, prices for a gallon of gasoline have increased; in April 2026, the national average price of regular unleaded gasoline was $4.06 and the state average was $5.88.2

Unemployment: The EDD also publishes data on countywide unemployment data in its Labor Market Review report.
From the April 2026 report, the unemployment rate in San Diego County was 4.5% in February 2026, up slightly from
4.4% one year ago in February 2025. 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. The County of San Diego experienced a 3.2% increase in prices for March 2026 paid for the standard set of goods and services, as compared to one year ago; this is slightly less than the national rate of 3.3% for March 2026. 4 Higher prices for energy and food 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 $1,100,000 in March 2026, a 2.4% increase from one year ago. 5 The increase in home prices has moderated and with the effective interest rates only dropping slightly, mostly due to tariff-induced uncertainty.
New listings were down 14.3% from last year and day on market until sale increased by 8.8% compared to last year.3 1 U.S. Energy Information Administration.

General Fund Reserves
The City of Chula Vista City Council Policy 220-03 Citywide Reserve Policy – Fiscal Health Plan established three General Fund Reserves, with a total recommended minimum reserve level for the three reserves of 23.0% of the prior year’s Adopted General Fund Budgeted operating expenditures including transfers out related to debt service payments and reoccurring operating obligations ( Budgeted Operating Expenditures).
General Fund Operating Reserve
The General Fund Operating Reserves represent 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 funds available for appropriation by the City Council to mitigate service impacts during a significant downturn in the economy which impacts City revenues such as sales tax, property tax, transient occupancy 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 funds available for appropriation by the City Council to fund unanticipated expenses related to a major natural disaster in the City. This reserve has a minimum level of no less than five percent
3.0%) of budgeted operating expenditures.
The following chart depicts the General Fund Reserves since fiscal year 2021 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.

Budget Message ALL FUNDS SUMMARY
26 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 Pension Debt Reserve 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.

39 General Fund Expenditure Summary
The fiscal year 2027 Proposed General Fund expenditures budget is $ 318. 1 million, an increase of $ 12. 5 million or 4.1% when compared to the fiscal year 2026 Adopted Budget expenditures budget. Fiscal year 2027 capital improvement projects will be funded primarily by non General Fund allocations; see the Capital Improvement Program section of this document
The fiscal year 2027 Proposed General Fund Budget is balanced, with budgeted expenditures equal to or less than budgeted revenues, plus other available sources. The fiscal year 2027 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 2027 Proposed Budget expenditures focus on maintaining current levels of service.

Salary Adjustments
The fiscal year 2027 Proposed Budget for the Personnel Services expense category, which includes salaries and benefits, is $ 172. 4 million or 54. 2% of the General Fund expenditure budget, a 6. 6% increase from the fiscal year 2026 Adopted Budget. The fiscal year 2027 Adopted General Fund Budget includes funding for the annualized costs of negotiated salary increases approved per the current Memorandum 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 $ 22.6 million or 7.1% of the City’s fiscal year 2027 Proposed Budget. This represents an increase of $1.6 million from the fiscal year 2026 Adopted Budget.
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 6.8% investment return assumption used by CalPERS in most years.

However, due to lower than anticipated CalPERS investment earnings, increases to the CalPERS unfunded accrued liability ( UAL) costs and scheduled annual debt service payments to service the 2021 Pension Obligation Bonds, retirement costs are anticipated to increase.

These reimbursements are counted as department generated revenues within the respective support departments.
Property tax collected In-lieu of Motor Vehicle License Fees ( MVLF) – The fiscal year 2027 Proposed Budget for the MVLF is $36.1 million, reflecting an increase of approximately $ 2. 2 million over the fiscal year 2026 Adopted Budget amount. Beginning in fiscal year 2006, due to a change in revenue allocation resulting from the Budget Act of 2006, MVLF revenues are projected to grow in proportion to the change in gross assessed property valuation.
As such, this revenue category reflects a 6. 7% increase from fiscal year 2026 amounts.

55 Major Revenue Sources
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 2027.
Sales Tax
Sales Tax revenue is estimated at $52.2 million in the fiscal year 2027 Proposed Budget, a change of approximately
1.8% or $0.9 million when compared to the fiscal year 2026 Adopted Budget. With the addition of Measure P and Measure A sales tax revenues, total Sales Tax revenues for fiscal year 2027 are projected to total $ 114. 7 million. Sales tax revenue is highly sensitive to economic conditions, and reflects the factors that drive taxable sales, including levels of unemployment, consumer confidence, per- capita income, and business investment.
Retailers must register with the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration( CDTFA) and pay the state’s sales tax. Sales taxes are collected at the point of sale and remitted to CDTFA. 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%
San Diego County Regional Transportation Commission ( TransNet) 0.50% State and County Subtotal 6.75%
Local Jurisdiction ( City or County of place sale/ use) ( City Share) 1.00% City Transaction Tax ( Measure P) 0.50%
City Transaction Tax ( Measure A) 0.50%
City Subtotal 2.00%
Total Sales Tax Rate – Chula Vista (1) 8.75%
1) Total sales tax rates will vary by City due to local sales tax initiatives.
With the approval of Measure P and Measure A, the City receives 2.0% of sales tax revenue applied to all taxable retail sales occurring within the City limits. The measures are projected to generate approximately $ 62.5 million in revenue in fiscal year 2027. The General Fund will serve as a pass- through for these revenues; these funds will ultimately be recognized as a Transfer Out to the Measure P and Measure A Sales Tax Funds.
Sales tax revenue is highly sensitive to economic conditions, and reflects the factors that drive taxable sales, including levels of unemployment, consumer confidence, per- capita income, and business investment.
Sales tax revenue ( exclusive of Measure P and Measure A) is the City’s second largest discretionary revenue source, accounting for 16.4% of total revenue for the General Fund in the fiscal year 2027 Proposed Budget.
The positive trend in sales tax growth is expected to continue in fiscal year 2027 and Sales Tax revenue is estimated at $52.2 million ( excluding Measure P and Measure A revenues) in the Proposed Budget. This is a change of approximately 1.8% or $. 9 million when compared to the fiscal year 2026 Adopted Budget. With the addition of Measure P and Measure A revenues, Sales Tax revenues for fiscal year 2027 are projected to total $ 114. 7 million.
The following graphs illustrate the generally gradually increasing trend in Sales Tax revenues ( exclusive of Measure P and Measure A Sales Tax revenues) as well as Measure P and Measure A Sales Tax revenues from fiscal year 2024 to the projected amounts for fiscal year 2027.

Latest data from Fiscal Year 2021- 2022
The change in assessed value for properties within the City of Chula Vista versus the County of San Diego since 2015 is depicted in the graph below.
Property Tax
Property tax revenues comprise the City’s largest discretionary revenue source and accounts for 18.4% of the total revenue for the General Fund. This revenue source is estimated at $58.7 million in the fiscal year 2027 Proposed Budget and represents 0.4% or $0.2 million increase from the fiscal year 2026 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.

Based on consumer trends and changes in technology, UUT is expected to slightly decline, and is budgeted at $3.7 million in fiscal year 2027, an increase of approximately $ 0.1 million, or 1% over the 2026 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.

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 2027 Proposed Budget MVLF revenues are projected to increase by $2.3 million to $36.1 million and represent 11.3% of the total fiscal year 2027 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.

61 Estimated TOT revenues for fiscal year 2027 are $ 19. 2 million. This estimate includes a projected $ 2. 6 million decrease from the fiscal year 2026 Adopted Budget based on current trends and an increase in the number of hotel operators in the City of Chula Vista, including the opening of the Bayfront Hotel Resort and Convention Center. TOT revenue generated by the Bayfront Hotel Resort and Convention Center is contractually required to be transferred from the General Fund to a separate fund
Revenue Assumptions
Revenue projections are continually reviewed and updated by City staff. As described above, major general revenues, such as property taxes, sales taxes, franchise fees, utility users’ tax, transient occupancy tax and motor vehicle license fees, are projected by the Finance Department based on prior history, growth and inflation projections, and economic climate. Additional assistance in the projection of revenues is provided by subject- matter experts such as the City’s sales tax consultant, the County Assessor, and by reviewing regional and local economic forecasts provided by the UCLA Anderson Forecast and the County of San Diego, respectively.

General Fund Net Cost
The fiscal year 2027 Proposed General Fund budget of $ 318. 1 million is based on funding from estimated department generated revenues totaling $48.2 million and discretionary revenues totaling $159.7 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 that are included in Non-Departmental and not assigned to a specific department.
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 expenditures at 37.8% followed by the Fire Department at 24.3%. The next highest portion was allocated to Public Works at 12.9%.

GENERAL FUND LONGTERM FINANCIAL PLAN

Proposed Budget FY 2027
General Fund GENERAL FUND LONG- TERM FINANCIAL PLAN
69 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 2027 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 maintain the City’s reserve funds to meet the City’s reserve policies thresholds.
The LTFP only addresses the City’s General Fund. The General Fund serves as the principal source of revenues and expenditures that supports the City’s core, day-to-day operating expenses. The LTFP focuses on baseline General Fund 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.
Itis important to emphasize that the LTFP is not a budget. The LTFP does not make expenditure decisions or assume revisions to current service levels but rather highlights the need to prioritize the allocation of City resources to ensure the continuation of core City services. The purpose of the LTFP 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 to 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, serving as a planning tool to bring a long-term perspective to the budget process. Should projected expenditures exceed projected revenues in any given year, the City Manager will identify steps to mitigate the shortfalls prior to presenting a balanced budget to the City Council for consideration during the annual budget development process.
Revenue and Expenditure Projections
The LTFP forecasts General Fund revenues and expenditures based on current and known conditions, historical performance, economic data, and consultation from subject matter experts. The LTFP basis is the baseline operating revenues and expenditures in the City’s General Fund and includes adjustments to forecasts for revenues and expenditures based on maintaining the City’s service levels; anticipated new revenue streams and new projected costs (e.g., new facilities or financing tools); and other planned commitments. Based on projections within the LTFP, overall General Fund revenues and expenditures are anticipated to increase throughout the ten-year LTFP period.
In some fiscal years, revenues are expected to exceed expenditures, resulting in an operating surplus; in others, expenditures are expected to exceed revenues, resulting in an operating deficit.

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

The City of Chula Vista is governed under the council- manager form of government. This local government structure combines the political leadership of elected officials with the strong managerial and administrative expertise of an appointed City manager. Under the council- manager form of government, the City Council are the policy makers, and the City Manager is responsible for the implementation of those policies.
In Chula Vista, the City Manager is responsible for the daily operation and administration of all City departments and professional staff except for the elected and appointed offices of the City Attorney and City Clerk, respectively.

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 $ 200K and $250K 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) program implementation and maintenance, New Hire Orientation 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 insurance coverage; group life (including accidental death & dismemberment) insurance; voluntary supplemental life insurance; voluntary accident, critical illness, and hospital indemnity insurance; Employee Assistance Program; voluntary pet insurance; 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 City-wide Employee Engagement and Wellness Committee, comprised of representatives from each City department and each ofthe City’s bargaining groups. The committee implements events and programs to increase engagement levels and promote wellness within the City’s workforce. The integration of engagement and wellness efforts allows the Department to further promote 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 was approximately 50 years old and was among the busiest community centers in the southwestern area of the City. The facility was in need of replacement.
In April 2020, City Council approved a Design Build Agreement for replacing the Center which includes multipurpose facilities in addition to an aquatic facility encompassing an area of approximately 44,000 square feet.
In August 2021, City 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 multipurpose 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.
STATUS:
Construction of Segments 1 and 2 was completed in April 2023, and these segments were opened for limited use pending the completion of Segment 3. Design for Segment 3 began in June 2021 and was completed in June 2022. The Loma Verde Community Center is fully operational and open to the public while final construction activities are underway. Due to stormwater issues, the splash pad required redesign.
Construction of the splash pad began on August 8, 2025, and was completed on December 31, 2025, with punch list items finalized on February 24, 2026. Project closeout is currently in progress.
This project supports the City’s Strong and Secure Neighborhoods goal by providing a safe, modern, and appealing space where residents can gather, play, and stay connected.
Expansion of Adaptive Traffic Control Systems and Traffic Signal Modernization These “ smart” traffic signal systems detect approaching vehicles along certain major corridors to automatically adjust the duration of traffic signal cycles to best serve changing traffic patterns and congestion in real time.
The goal is to reduce travel times, enhance safety, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions attributable to vehicles idling at red lights along heavily traveled streets.
These modern adaptive control systems also have the capability to connect to some connected vehicles and autonomous vehicles, better known as self-driving cars, using vehicle- to-infrastructure data sharing technology.
In 2021, the City upgraded 29 intersections along Telegraph Canyon Road, East H Street, and Otay Lakes Road with adaptive traffic signal controllers. The system continues to be monitored and optimized even years later to provide a safe and efficient flow of traffic along these major corridors.
In 2023, the City completed the construction of traffic signal modifications and improvements at 11 locations throughout the City. The CIP project’s scope of work included 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 2027 142
DEPARTMENT SUMMARY REPORTS Engineering & Capital Projects Department In 2026, the City continues to expand its advanced traffic control system onto sections of Otay Lakes Rd and Eastlake Parkway and traffic signal modernization at three intersections throughout the City focuses on upgrading traffic signal hardware, improving circulation and safety at these locations. These projects are in the design phase.
For the remainder of 2026 and into 2027, the City plans to continue its phased modernization of legacy traffic signal controller hardware as well as its traffic signal communications network, which will result in utility cost savings, improved operational efficiency and flexibility, and enhanced functionality to facilitate more modern traffic control operations.
STATUS:
The City continues to evaluate other streets to deploy modern traffic signal technology which will enhance safety, efficiency, and support the City’ s transportation initiatives.
Strong and Secure Neighborhoods
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 toenable states to improve the condition oftheir highway bridges through replacement, rehabilitation, and systematic preventive maintenance of deficient bridges.
As of March 2025, approved grant funds total $6.8 million for preliminary engineering, $ 214 thousand for rightof-way acquisition, $ 31.3 million for construction, and $4.7 million for construction engineering.
Funding for construction includes $ 42.5 million HBP funds, $17.5 million City TDIF funds, and a $2 Million contribution from the City of San Diego.
Environmental resource agency permits are in place and final coordination for a supporting document is ongoing with California Department of Fish and Wildlife.
STATUS:
Construction of the Heritage Road Bridge Replacement Project began in December 2024 and is anticipated to be completed in July 2027. Early phases of construction were completed in March 2026, and work is currently progressing on the next phase of the bridge. The project continues to advance in coordination with the City of San Diego, including shared funding for improvements along Heritage Road. Additional roadway improvements are planned to be pursued following project completion..
Renovation of Eucalyptus Park
Eucalyptus Park was the City’s first park, built in 1927.
The 19.69-acre community park is located at 436 C Street and stretches from 5th Avenue and 4th Avenue.
The renovation work is funded in part by $6.4 million in grant funding from the Statewide Parks Program’s Round Four, awarded in February 2022.
City of Chula Vista
Proposed Budget FY 2027 143
DEPARTMENT SUMMARY REPORTS Engineering & Capital Projects Department Following a series of community workshops and public engagement surveys, an updated Eucalyptus Park Master Plan was presented to the Parks and Recreation Commission in April 2023 and approved by City Council in June 2023.
New Eucalyptus Park amenities funded by the grant will include multi-purpose field with lighting, interactive water feature, skate/ scooter plaza, bike skills plaza and jump area, perimeter walking path, fitness equipment, pickleball courts with lighting, additional parking by the softball field, new park monument sign, new playground equipment and surfacing, renovated small and large dog park areas In December 2023, the City Council approved additional funding, including $ 3.5 million in Measure P and $8.6 million from the Capital Improvement Projects Fund to upgrade existing facilities such as tennis courts and lighting, softball field and lighting, basketball court, picnic shelters, restroom and storage buildings, trash enclosure, and park fencing.

The Chula Vista Police Department ( CVPD) is recognized as aleader in the field of public safety, committed to a culture of community- based policing, innovative problem- solving, and active community engagement. The Department’ s dedication to delivering public safety services with fairness, compassion, equality, and justice is not only reflected in its formal policies and practices, but also deeply rooted in its history and core values. Guided by the principles outlined in former President Obama’s Task Force on 21st Century Policing, CVPD upholds the highest standards of modern policing and remains responsive to the evolving needs and expectations of the Chula Vista community.
The Police Department’ s primary focus is community policing—a strategy that addresses crime and social disorder through a blend of traditional law enforcement and proactive efforts such as prevention, problem solving, community engagement, and partnerships. This philosophy balances reactive responses to calls for service with proactive approaches that target the root causes of crime and disorder. In addition to community policing, the Department is committed to traffic safety, criminal investigations, juvenile services, regional task forces, and a wide range of other services that support and enhance public safety operations.
The Chula Vista Police Department is led by a dedicated Command Staff composed of the Police Chief, an Assistant Police Chief, four Police Captains, and an Administrative Services Manager. The Department is authorized for 296 sworn officers and 114 civilian personnel. Despite having the lowest per capita staffing in the region, as noted by SANDAG studies, the Department remains highly effective through a strong focus on innovation, efficiency, and strategic resource management. The organization is structured into five key divisions: Patrol Operations, Investigations, Community Engagement, Support Operations, and Administrative Services.
Patrol Operations
The Patrol Operations Division encompasses Community Patrol, the K-9 Unit, Field Training Unit, and Police Technology. Community Patrol is the largest section within the Police Department, delivering 24/ 7 law enforcement services to Chula Vista’s residents, businesses, and visitors. In 2025, the Patrol Division responded to 63,047 citizeninitiated calls for service, conducted 28,187 officer- initiated contacts, and made 4, 414 arrests—demonstrating the Division’s ongoing commitment to public safety and proactive policing.
Investigations
The Investigations Division is made up of specialized units staffed by officers, detectives, and civilian personnel, many of whom work in plainclothes assignments and focus on follow- up investigations. Core units within the division include Crimes of Violence, Family Protection, and Property Crimes. Additionally, the Crime Lab, Property & Evidence, and Digital Evidence Unit support investigative efforts. The Crime Lab provides critical forensic services such as evidence collection, documentation, crime scene reconstruction, and latent print analysis. The Property & Evidence Unit manages the secure storage, disposal, and auction of items, while maintaining a strict chain of custody. The Division also includes Special Operations, where personnel conduct undercover investigations related to intelligence and narcotics, and participate in regional task forces targeting fugitives, auto theft, and organized crime.
Community Engagement
The Community Engagement Division focuses on building trust, increasing transparency, and strengthening relationships with residents, visitors, business owners, students, community leaders, advocates, and the unsheltered City of Chula Vista

population. This Division plays a vital role in advancing the Department’ s mission to deliver community policing with the highest standards of professionalism and openness
Key components of the Division include the Community Policing Unit, Traffic Operations, School Resource Officer Unit, and the proactive Street Team and Gang Suppression Unit. The Community Policing Unit comprises the Homeless Outreach Team, Community Relations Unit, and Community Liaison Officers—each working to address community needs through direct engagement and problem- solving initiatives.
The Division also oversees the Strategic Operations Unit, which manages the Department’ s internationally recognized Drone as First Responder ( DFR) program, a cutting- edge initiative that enhances real-time response and situational awareness.
Support Operations
The Support Operations Division includes the Professional Standards Unit, City Jail, and Police Communications Center ( Dispatch). The Professional Standards Unit ( PSU) is responsible for upholding the highest standards of training, ethics, and professionalism across the Department. The City Jail functions as a temporary holding facility for individuals in custody. The Police Communications Center serves as the hub for emergency and non-emergency calls, with highly trained dispatchers who manage incoming requests for service and maintain clear, effective communication with officers in the field.
Administrative Services
The Administrative Services Division consists of Fiscal Operations and Police Support Services ( Records). The Fiscal Operations Unit oversees the Department’ s operating budget, manages restricted funds, administers grants, and handles payroll, purchasing, and inventory. Police Support Services provides essential assistance to the public, Department personnel, and other law enforcement agencies by maintaining and distributing police records and offering front counter support
The Police Department operates from a nationally recognized, 148,000-square- foot facility designed to enhance police operations and improve service delivery to the community. The site also features a regional law enforcement memorial, honoring peace officers in San Diego County who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty.
The Department is committed to fiscal responsibility and actively seeks alternative funding sources to reduce reliance on the General Fund. For fiscal year 2027, the Department secured approximately $ 5 million in grant funding. Since 1995, it has obtained more than $167 million in grants, enabling the expansion of services and resources to meet the growing needs of the Chula Vista community— while maintaining a strong commitment to financial stewardship.
MISSION STATEMENT
The Chula Vista Police Department, in partnership with the Community, is dedicated to providing community policing, with the highest level of professionalism and transparency. Chula Vista Police Department Employees will provide fair, courteous, and compassionate service to enhance the quality of life in Chula Vista.
VALUES STATEMENT
Leadership – Respect – Integrity – Accountability
STRATEGIC GOALS
Protecting and Serving the Community
Address community concerns regarding general safety, crime, traffic safety, and satisfaction with CVPD City of Chula Vista
Proposed Budget FY 2027 149
DEPARTMENT SUMMARY REPORTS Police Department
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 is implementing a comprehensive, multi-faceted strategy to address community concerns, reduce the fear of crime, and enhance communication— both in person and through digital platforms.
This initiative will be led by the Community Relations Unit, which focuses on building positive relationships with residents, and the Public Information Unit, which ensures timely, transparent communication with the public. To further address traffic safety concerns, Measure A funding has allowed the Department to expand its Traffic Unit, increasing education efforts, proactive prevention programs, and targeted enforcement throughout 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 continue working closely with bargaining groups and Citywide partners to ensure it remains regionally competitive in terms of workload, compensation, and overall workplace environment— making it a department where employees want to work and build lasting careers. Additionally, the Department will strengthen and expand its commitment to member engagement, health, safety, and wellness—ensuring personnel are mentally and physically prepared to serve the community with the professionalism, compassion, and readiness the public expects and deserves.
Driving Innovation and Performance
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 established itself as a leader in public safety innovation. The Police Department’ s innovation initiative is focused on the safe, effective use of technology to enhance community safety, while carefully balancing the protection of individual rights and aligning with the community’ s values and expectations.
STATUS:
Chula Vista is a national leader in the use of Unmanned Aerial Systems ( UAS), driven by its innovative Drone as First Responder ( DFR) program, which deploys remotely operated drones to respond to calls for service and provide critical situational awareness. The Department continues to lead in innovation with the adoption of Axon Draft One, which allows officers to quickly create comprehensive narratives while reducing administrative workload. This platform gives officers more time in proactive policing and increases their availability for calls for service. Furthermore, the Department’ s Communications Center is utilizing AI-assisted software as an innovative solution for Assistive Call Taking and Automated Non-Emergency Triage, which strengthens service delivery to the public while supporting the efficiency and wellness of police dispatchers.
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 development adjacent to the Gaylord Pacific Resort and Convention Center, university site, and maturation of the Millenia project.
City of Chula Vista
Proposed Budget FY 2027 150
DEPARTMENT SUMMARY REPORTS Police Department
STATUS:
The Police Department will ensure CVPD representatives actively participate in all relevant City Economic Development meetings, including public hearings and discussions related to public safety needs. As development projects can significantly impact law enforcement operations, it is essential that the police perspective is incorporated early in the planning process to support effective, well-informed decision- making.
As the City continues to grow and police service demands increase, the Police Department is coordinating with a consultant to facilitate a feasibility study on the potential development of a police substation in eastern Chula Vista
Championing Community Engagement, Equity and Inclusion
Continue to build trust between law enforcement and the community Strong, trust-based relationships between police agencies and the communities they serve are essential to effective policing and public safety. Law enforcement relies on community cooperation to share information, report crime, and collaborate on solutions to issues of crime and disorder. In turn, community trust is built when residents believe that police actions are aligned with community values and guided by the principles of procedural justice and legitimacy.
STATUS:
CVPD staff will engage in meaningful dialogue, ongoing training, and collaborative efforts with the community to strengthen existing relationships, build new ones, and address concerns related to bias, racism, or adverse police conduct. The Community Engagement Division will take the lead in advancing this important work.

Additionally, the Fire Department will assess Department- wide needs for mental health training and resources to formulate a 3-year plan
STATUS:
A department Health, Wellness, and Safety initiative has been adopted and personnel responsible for key positions have been identified. Department training regarding the initiative will be provided.
Goal 2: Service Outside the Department: Focused attention on our outward- facing service delivery efforts. This includes improving connectedness with the community, such as re-establishing Fire Safety Week, developing an engagement program with the elementary and high school systems, increasing social media following by 10%, developing yearly public safety outreach and programs, and release Public Service Announcements ( PSAs) focused on public safety and disaster preparedness. Additionally, the Fire Department will develop and initiate public safety meetings through the Homeowners Association and Senior Center to establish outreach programs.

Development Services Fund
Development Services Fund
The Development Services Fund is an enterprise fund, accounting for revenues and expenditures related to the City’s processing of development plans and permits, including inspections. 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, Facilities Financing, Engineering, Landscape Architecture, and Development 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 permit fees, planning fees, and engineering fees.
Deposit- based revenues compensate the City for the actual costs to review specific development projects and are generated through staff time reimbursements. The City is anticipating that the following major projects will continue to move forward in fiscal year 2027:
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

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.

Housing Authority Funds
The Chula Vista Housing Authority ( Housing Authority) was formed in 1993. A Housing Authority can provide taxexempt 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 Redevelopment Agency of the City of Chula Vista in 2012, the Housing Authority assumed the housing functions of the former Redevelopment Agency, becoming a “Housing Successor” as defined in California Health & Safety Code § 34176.. Housing Authority staff provide 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 ( HUD) Grant Funds and the Low and Moderate Income Housing Asset Fund ( Low-Mod Fund), held by the Housing Authority in its capacity as Housing Successor. 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 to affordable housing projects 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 Short-term rental assistance to low-income residents
Down payment assistance for first-time homebuyers
Assistance to homeless shelter/ service providers
Oversight of contracts with mission driven organizations for the provision of services to low/ moderate income residents
Development and implementation of policies and programs related to affordable housing Fund Descriptions
Operating Funds
Fund 313: Chula Vista Housing Authority

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).

Sewer Funds
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
Fund 428: Sewer Facility Replacement Fund
A portion of the revenues derived from the monthly sewer service charge is deposited into the Sewerage Facilities Replacement Fund. Monies in this fund are used for the purpose of paying the cost of refurbishment and/ or replacement of deficient sewerage facilities including related evaluation, engineering, and utility modification costs
Funds 430: 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.
A portion of the revenues derived from the monthly sewer service charge is deposited into the Sewerage Facilities Replacement Fund. Monies in this fund are used for the purpose of paying the cost of refurbishment and/ or replacement of deficient sewerage facilities including related evaluation, engineering, and utility modification costs to increase the capacity of the subject facilities, allowing the City to maintain service levels with increased demand
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.
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 City of Chula Vista
Proposed Budget FY 2027 211
Sewer Funds
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. To ensure the long-term adequacy of the Sewer Fund, the City Council previously adopted a sewer rate case study that established updated sewer rates, effective April 26, 2022, and remaining in place through fiscal year 2026.
The City is currently undertaking an updated sewer rate study to evaluate future funding needs and inform potential rate adjustments beyond FY 2026; however, the impacts of this study are not yet known. At this time, the adopted sewer rates will remain unchanged. Once the study is complete, and results will be brought forward to the City Council for review and discussion.
Sewage treatment services provided by the City of San Diego continue to be a significant cost for the City. Recent permit renewals for treatment are tied to implementation of the regional wastewater reuse initiative, the Pure Water Program, which requires substantial capital investment. The adopted rate structure includes a mechanism to adjust annually for changes in treatment costs from the City of San Diego, helping maintain accuracy and alignment with actual expenditures.
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 2027 Proposed Budget.
The City continues to focus on its Annual Sewer Rehabilitation Program, which averages approximately $ 2.5M annually 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 2027.

Capital Improvement Projects
The second highest commitment of CIP funding is for the Wastewater Management System ( WMS). The appropriation for Wastewater projects is approximately $ 4.7 million, which represents 11.73% 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
Proposals include $ 500,000 for the Sewer Main Rehabilitation project, which will repair and renew priority segments of the collection system
An additional $ 60,000 is programmed for the F Street Sewer Study, which will evaluate the feasibility of rerouting sewer flows to alleviate restrictions caused by small diameter pipes.
Funding of $400,000 will be invested in the rehabilitation of deteriorated sewer manholes to ensure structural integrity
Funding of $150,000 is programmed to install semi-permanent monitoring equipment throughout the collection system, enhancing early deduction of potential failures. 3 Million will be included for the Poggi Canyon Sewer Improvements on Olympic Parkway at Concord Way. This project will increase sewer flows along Olympic Parkway west of Brandywine Ave to Olympic Parkway east of Brandywine Avenue.
Additionally, $ 500,000 is allocated for the Third Avenue Alley Sewer Extension, and $125,000 is allocated for the Wastewater Infrastructure Planning Program.
These investments are aligned with the City’s Wastewater Master Plan, which provides long-range guidance for sewer system improvements to meet capacity, regulatory, and operational goals as the community grows and infrastructure ages

FLEET FUND
City of Chula Vista
Proposed Budget FY 2027 217
Fleet Fund
Fleet Fund
The Fleet Fund is an internal service fund, which is used to finance and account for goods, specialized activities, and services performed by one City department for the benefit of other City departments on a cost reimbursement basis. The Fleet Management fund consists of two primary functions: Central Garage Operations and Equipment Replacement. Funding is transferred from each affected department’ s operating budget to the Fleet Management Fund on a monthly basis.
The Central Garage Operations function is responsible for maintaining the City’s fleet of vehicles and equipment. Maintenance is performed both by City mechanics and, when necessary, through contracts with specialized local vendors for complex repairs such as major transmission work. The Central Garage services all City vehicles and equipment, including those used by public safety, streets, sewers, parks, open space, development services, housing and library. Services provided include vehicle maintenance and repair, fuel management, vehicle replacement, and other specialized services not tied to a specific vehicle.
With the approval of Measure P, Fleet has accelerated the replacement of aging vehicles that had reached the end of their useful life. This increased pace of replacement has generated additional workload, particularly in ordering and upfitting vehicles, compared to prior years. However, the new vehicles are expected to reduce maintenance costs and improve reliability for service delivery. Fleet has also recently upgraded its fleet management software, which tracks work order and repair history, as well as its fuel management system used to track fuel usage.
As part of the City’s efforts to reduce greenhouse emissions, the fleet includes 50 Electric Vehicles ( EVs), 78 Hybrid Electric Vehicles ( HEVs), and 16 Plug-In Hybrids Electric Vehicles ( PHEVs), along with the necessary charging infrastructure to support their operation. These vehicles help lower maintenance costs while reducing environmental impact and currently represent approximately 23 percent of the City’s total fleet.
Revenues
Revenues in the Fleet Fund are generated from departments that utilize City vehicles and equipment through maintenance charges. These charges are based on the specific vehicles assigned to each department and cover a range of costs, from routine services such as oil changes and preventive maintenance to major repairs, including transmission and accident- related work, as well as fuel expenses.
Over the past nine years, most vehicle replacement costs have been funded through Measure P sales tax revenues.
However, funding allocated from the Measure P Sales Tax Fund for non-public safety vehicles is now fully encumbered.
Approximately $ 1.4 million is included in the fiscal year 2027 Proposed Budget for the replacement of public safety vehicles through the Measure P Sales Tax Fund. In addition, $3.0 million is allocated for the replacement of vehicles within the Sewer Fund.
For fiscal year 2027, proposed Fleet Fund revenues total $ 6. 5 million. The increase compared to the fiscal year 2026 Adopted Budget reflects growth in the size of the fleet, as well as higher operating costs, including fuel and vehicle maintenance

Expenditures
Fleet Fund expenditures include the costs to maintain City vehicles, as well as to service and repair equipment such as mowers, generators, equipment trailers across the City. As noted in the revenue summary, these costs are allocated back to departments based on factors including the number of vehicles and equipment assigned, repair history, and fuel usage.
The fiscal year 2027 Proposed Budget for Fleet Management expenditures is $ 6. 5 million. This funding supports resources needed to sustain operations, including vehicle and equipment servicing, repairs, and fuel for the City’s fleet.

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. 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.
City of Chula Vista
Proposed Budget FY 2027
Capital Improvement Program CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM SUMMARY 264
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, unfunded proposals will remain on the Unfunded Proposals List to be addressed as resources become available.
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.

Operational Impact of Capital Projects
Projects included in the City’s Capital Improvement Plan and Budget typically focus on addressing existing infrastructure needs and typically do not have a substantial impact on operational costs. However, when new facilities City of Chula Vista
Proposed Budget FY 2027
Capital Improvement Program CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM SUMMARY 265
such as fire stations, libraries, parks, and/ or recreation centers are planned that have a significant operational impact, projected costs will be reflected in the City’ s General Fund Long- Term Financial Plan ( LTFP), 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 Adjustments and Service Impact sections of the General Fund Department Summary Reports for Fire, Library, Parks and Recreation or other respective 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 2023 through 2027.
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 fiscal year 2027 CIP budget.
Fiscal Year 2027 CIP by Funding Source
City of Chula Vista
Proposed Budget FY 2027
Capital Improvement Program CIP REVENUE SUMMARY
270
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. 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 City’s 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 2027.
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. No TDIF funding is programmed as part of the fiscal year 2027 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. The fiscal year 2027 CIP program WTDIF projects include $ 456, 773 for the Bayshore Bikeway Segment 6A project and $1,000,000 for the F Street Promenade Phase 1 project.
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 2027 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 funding is programmed as part of the fiscal year 2027 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 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 City of Chula Vista
Proposed Budget FY 2027

Street to Lagoon Dr.). ATP funds programmed as part of the fiscal year 2027 CIP include $ 266, 000 allocated to the Anita Street and Industrial Boulevard Bicycle and Pedestrian Improvements project 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 2027 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. No CDBG funds are programmed as part of the fiscal year 2027 CIP Program.
Highway Bridge Program
The Highway Bridge Program ( HBP) provides federal funding to help states improve the condition of their highway bridges through replacement, rehabilitation, and systematic preventive maintenance of deficient bridge structures.
The City of Chula Vista has received HBP funding for two major bridge replacement projects: “ Willow Street Bridge Widening ( STL0261)” and “Heritage Road Bridge Replacement ( STM0386)”.
The original Willow Street bridge was constructed in 1940 and was determined that it was infeasible to rehabilitate.
Funding for full replacement was approved by the Federal Highway Administration ( FHWA) and Caltrans, which administers the HBP Grant Program in California. The project was completed in November 2020, and features a 610-foot arched bridge with four traffic lanes, 8- foot shoulders ( bike lanes), and 5.5- foot sidewalks. The Willow Street Bridger Widening project received approximately $ 30 million in HBP funds. While now complete, the Willow project remains a key milestone in the City’s infrastructure investment strategy.
The existing four-lane bridge at Heritage Road was constructed in 1993 as an interim facility using FEMA emergency funding after severe flooding destroyed the original two-lane river crossing. The current structure is considered Functionally Obsolete ( FO), unable to handle peak traffic volumes, lacks pedestrian access and cannot convey the 50-year storm without being overtopped.
In 2014, the Heritage Road Bridge Replacement Project was accepted into the HBP. FHWA and Caltrans approved full replacement due to the high cost and limited benefit of rehabilitation. As of March 2026, the project has secured 42 million in HBP grant funding for preliminary engineering, right-of-way acquisition, construction engineering, construction. Additional construction includes $ 17.5 million in TDIF funds, and a $2 million contribution from the City of San Diego.
Status:
All required environmental permits have been secured. Construction was awarded in October 2024 and began in December 2024. Completion is anticipated by Summer 2027.
No new HBP funding is programmed in fiscal year 2027 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 approximately $ 1.8 million in HSIP Grant funds programmed as part of the fiscal year 2027 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 2027 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 2027 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 2027 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 2027 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 2027 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.

east and west of the 805. These funds are collected pursuant to Chapter 17.10 of the Chula Vista Municipal Code, in accordance with authority granted by Section 66477 of the California Government Code. No PAD funds are programmed as part of the fiscal year 2027 CIP.
Sunbow Park Benefit Fee
In January of 2020 a Community Benefit Agreement ( CBA) was signed between the City and ACI Sunbow, LLC, the developer of the City’s 600-acre master- planned Sunbow Community. Under this CBA ACI Sunbow’ s PAD requirements were waived and instead satisfied through the establishment of a separate Park Benefit Fee, equal to the PAD fees that would have been incurred for the Sunbow development. In 2020 this fee for the Sunbow development was estimated to be approximately $ 15 million. The Park Benefit Fees may be utilized by the City to acquire or develop parkland and recreational facilities anywhere in the City. Approximately $ 4.5 million in Sunbow Park Fees are programmed as part of the fiscal year 2027 CIP.
Chula Vista Municipal Golf Course
This Chula Vista Municipal Golf Course fund is an enterprise fund used to account for the operations of the municipal golf course.

Revenues support the golf course’s operations, maintenance, and facility improvements, ensuring continued recreational opportunities for the community. No funding is programmed as part of the fiscal year 2027 CIP.
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 2027, the Gas Tax-RMRA budget is approximately $ 11.6 million for pavement rehabilitation and maintenance based on the City’s Pavement Management System.
Transportation Sales Tax
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 City of Chula Vista

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 2027 CIP, the TransNet budget is approximately $ 10.9 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 $ 4.2 million in Measure P funds are programmed as part of the fiscal year 2027 CIP.
In November 2024 voters approved a renewal of Measure P funding to continue through 2037. The City will utilize future Measure P funds for pavement repair, upgrading aging public facilities, and improving traffic signal operation.
Sewer Funds
Sewer Service Revenue
The Special Sewer fund is used to account for the sale of the City’s excess Metropolitan Sewerage Capacity. While no Sewer Revenue funds are programmed in the fiscal year 2027 CIP, the fund continues to support strategic sewerrelated initiatives. In fiscal year 2025 $ 250, 000 in Special Service funds were allocated to support the Sewer Cost of Service ( Rate) Study, a five- year evaluation designed to ensure that sewer service charges adequately cover the costs to operate and maintain the City’s sewer system. The study typically requires 6-12 months to complete, followed by an estimated six month implementation.
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 2027 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
4.7 million in Sewer Facility Replacement funds are programmed in the fiscal year 2027 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. Included DIF programs are the Telegraph Canyon Sewer Basin DIF, the Poggi Canyon Sewer Basin DIF, and the Salt Creek Sewer Basin DIF. No Sewer DIF funds are programmed in the fiscal year 2027 CIP.

The FY 2027 Capital Improvement Program includes projects that support condition assessments, permitting, and the rehabilitation of critical storm drain infrastructure across the City No FY27 Gas Tax and TransNet funding is programmed to address corrugated metal pipe ( CMP) in poor condition located within the public right-of-way. CMP segments outside the right-of-way, typically located within drainage easements and identified as being in critical or unknown condition, were previously funded through Measure P. No additional Measure P funding for CMP rehabilitation is included in the FY 2027 CIP.
CMP in satisfactory condition will continue to be monitored as part of the City’s ongoing asset management practices and prioritized for rehabilitation or replacement in future CIP cycles as needs arise or as conditions worsen. This approach ensures that resources are directed where they are most urgently needed while maintaining oversight of the broader system to prevent unexpected failures.
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 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 commitments. Project DRN0214 is a focal point of these efforts, with $175,000 allocated in previous years to prevent trash from infiltrating local creeks, rivers, and San Diego Bay.

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 commenced with SDG& E on UUD 141 and the undergrounding of the utilities began in 2023. 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 and 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 City of Chula Vista

Approximately $ 150,000 is programmed for the City’s Survey Records Maintenance project.
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 nearterm need and led to the SANDAG’ s Board of Directors approval of the design phase at Palomar Street. Design began in 2021 and the project is expected to be completed by 2035 https:// www.sandag. org/ regional- plan
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 2014 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 2014 and was completed during this phase.

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 FY 2020 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. The design phase is estimated to take 24 to 30 months. Pending SANDAG funding for the construction phase, construction could be up to 36 months in duration with project completion anticipated in FY 2029.
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.

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. 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:
1. Project Initiation Document/ Project Study Report ( FY 2023) 2 Project Report/ Environmental Document ( FY 2025)
3 Construction Phase ( Begin FY 2025 – Open to Public FY 2027) City of Chula Vista

For Chula Vista, the freeway corridors listed below have commenced and will conclude with recommendations for various transportation improvements that could be implemented in phases over many years:
Complete Corridor: Blue Line Express/ I-5 South & Palomar St Rail Xing Complete Corridor: High Speed Transit/ SR 125
Complete Corridor: Purple Line Corridor/ I-805
City staff has been working with SANDAG on the Comprehensive Multimodal Corridor Plan ( CMCP) known as the South Bay to Sorrento ( SB2S) Study. The CMCP evaluates all travel modes and transportation facilities in a defined corridor – highways and freeways, parallel and connecting roadways, transit (bus, bus rapid transit, light rail, intercity rail, etc.), pathways, and bikeways to accommodate more efficient movement of people and goods through the southern portion of San Diego County.
The completed CMCP will help the San Diego region compete for local, state, and federal funds, including SB1. The SB2S Study was completed in September 2022.

Measure A Sales Tax Fund Summary
Measure A Sales Tax Fund Summary
The Measure A Sales Tax 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 havea 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 Sales Tax funds.
Revenues
The fiscal year 2027 Proposed Budget reflects the allocation of approximately $ 31. 2 million in transfers in from Measure A Sales Tax revenues and for reimbursements from other city funds, and approximately $ 0.1 million in grant reimbursements and investment earnings for a total of $31.3 million in revenues. Sales tax revenues are received in the City’s General Fund, and then transferred into the Measure A Sales Tax Fund.
The following table reflects the Measure A revenues by category.

Measure P Sales Tax Fund Summary
Measure P Sales Tax Fund Summary
The Measure P Sales Tax 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. In 2024, voters approved the continuation of Measure P and the one-half cent sales tax increase on retail sales. The continuation of the sales tax is projected to generate $ 337 million over the next ten-year period.
The City has established a separate fund to track and account for income and expenses and appointed a Citizens’ Oversight Committee (“ COC”) to ensure transparency in the use of Measure P Sales Tax funds.
Revenues
The fiscal year 2027 Proposed Budget reflects the allocation of approximately $ 30.9 million in Measure P sales tax revenues. These sales tax revenues are received in the City’s General Fund, and then transferred into the Measure P Sales Tax Fund.
The following table reflects the Measure P Sales Tax revenues by category.
