The Human Resources Department is committed to providing superior services to employees, departments and the public to ensure an informed, quality workforce and community, while treating everyone with fairness, dignity, equality and respect.

The Human Resources Department (HR) develops and manages five major divisions, including Administration, Operations, Risk Management, Benefits, and Training and Development; and oversees the Citywide Employee Engagement and Wellness Committee, Citywide Safety Committee and Workplace Prevention Working Group.

HR Administration provides the day-to-day oversight of 22.0 HR staff, serving approximately 1,211 active full-time and part-time benefits-eligible employees and up to 500 temporary employees. HR Administration advises departments on the interpretation and application of City policies and procedures pertaining to Human Resources and the Civil Service Rules. Additionally, this division is responsible for training and guiding departments and individuals through teambuilding, performance management, investigation and the discipline process, as well as providing City employees with organizational and personal professional development resources. HR Administration negotiates the City’s six labor contracts, coordinates Citywide labor management cooperation, and interprets and maintains compliance with each bargaining unit’s memorandum of understanding. HR Administration also provides staff assistance to the Civil Service Commission.

One of the goals of the Human Resources Department is to attract the best and brightest to the City of Chula Vista to fostering an environment where employees can thrive. The HR Operations Division is responsible for recruitment, selection, classification and compensation. The division identifies qualified applicants to fill job vacancies at all levels, through recruitment efforts and testing. Applicants are given the opportunity to demonstrate their employment strengths through each phase of the recruitment and selection process. The outcome is an eligible list of qualified candidates. Filling vacancies in a timely manner helps departments deliver efficient, cost-effective services to City residents, aligning with the City of Chula Vista’s goals and objectives.

Human Resources Operations staff also conducts studies of positions and makes recommendations on proper job classification and compensation, and writes and revises job descriptions based on these studies. The division maintains the City’s Classification Plan, Compensation Plan, and related administrative regulations. In addition, staff conducts and responds to salary and benefit surveys, provides advice on Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) designation, and supports labor negotiations with the City’s unions and employee associations.

The Risk Management Division is responsible for the development of a safe and healthy environment for City employees and the public and for controlling and reducing liability exposures in order to preserve the City’s assets and service capabilities. The Human Resources Department has citywide oversight of various state and federal programs which are administered through the following areas: occupational health and safety, loss control, and disability management.

The City acknowledges the inherent risks associated with tasks performed by Police, Fire and Public Works, but will not allow this to excuse injuries and exposures as acceptable conditions. Instead, we challenge ourselves to prevent their occurrence through assessments, inspections, investigations, hazard controls, safe work practices, best available technology, communication, education and training. We are committed to providing a safe and healthy working environment for employees, volunteers and the public while strengthening the safety culture of our organization.

DEPARTMENT SUMMARY REPORTS → Human Resources Department Risk Management’s Safety program has oversight of all City safety efforts. The Safety program provides a systematic way to minimize incident frequency and severity, contribute to positive morale, effectively maintain the City’s resources and increase operational efficiency.

Disability Management oversees the City’s self-insured workers’ compensation program and the handling of claims by our third-party administrator. It also provides comprehensive services to employees and departments. The goal of the Disability Management program is to return injured or ill employees to the workforce as soon as they are able.

This is accomplished via the City’s hands on Return to Work Transitional Duty program where we partner with the treating doctors to focus on what the recovering employee can rather than what they can’t do. In the interim, Disability Management works to ensure that employees are receiving any income and job protection to which they are entitled.

Risk Management is responsible for recovering funds when City property is damaged by outside parties and recovers costs associated with emergency response related to impaired drivers. Staff aggressively seeks reimbursement from insurance companies or the uninsured party and averages between $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 of the 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.

MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of the Human Resources Department is to provide superior services to employees, departments, and the public to ensure an informed, quality workforce and community, while treating everyone with fairness, dignity, and respect.

MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of the Engineering & Capital Projects Department is to provide and manage the City’s infrastructure through high quality operations, maintenance, and construction in order to optimize mobility, public and environmental health and safety.

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 - City Council
May 19, 2026 Post City Council/Housing Authority/Successor Agency Agenda 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 to enable states to improve the condition of their 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 - City Council

The Chula Vista Police Department (CVPD) is recognized as a leader 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

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 - City Council
May 19, 2026 Post City Council/Housing Authority/Successor Agency Agenda 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.

↘ 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.

National Incident Based Reporting System (NIBRS) has two specific crime categories known as Group A and Group B offenses. Group A offenses include 52 serious crimes (e.g., murder, rape, robbery, and burglary). Group B offenses include 8 offenses that tend to be less serious in nature (e.g., disorderly conduct, curfew/loitering/vagrancy, drunkenness, and trespassing).

NIBRS became the standard for law enforcement crime reporting in the United States on January 1, 2021. In order to comply with the FBI mandated NIBRS reporting deadline, San Diego County law enforcement agencies began cooperating with the Automated Regional Justice Information System (ARJIS) in 2016 to implement the new system and improve the quality and breadth of local crime data.

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
■ University Land Entitlement Projects
■ Salt Creek Residential Development

Successor Agency Funds
The Chula Vista Redevelopment Agency was created on October 24, 1972 by City Council Ordinance. The goals of the former Redevelopment Agency were to reduce blight and to encourage new development, reconstruction, and rehabilitation of residential, commercial, industrial, and retail uses. Since the Agency’s creation, the City adopted and amended six project areas to encompass a total of approximately 3,563 acres of City territory. Land uses within these areas are mostly commercial and industrial, but also includes some residential and public uses (e.g., governmental administrative centers, corporation yards, streets, etc.).

On December 29, 2011, amidst a state fiscal emergency, the California Supreme Court upheld Assembly Bill (AB) 26 dissolving California redevelopment agencies. Effective February 1, 2012, all redevelopment agencies were dissolved, and the City of Chula Vista assumed the role of Successor Agency to the Chula Vista Redevelopment Agency (City Council resolution 2011-164).

The Successor Agency is responsible for the wind down of the former Redevelopment Agency activities and obligations. The Successor Agency will continue to oversee all legally enforceable obligations as well as dispose of the former Redevelopment Agency assets.

As required by AB 26, an Oversight Board, composed of affected taxing entities within the City, was created. The primary responsibility of the Oversight Board is reviewing and approving the annual Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule and serving in a fiduciary role to the taxing entities that the Oversight Board represents. The Oversight Board transitioned to one central County Oversight Board in fiscal year 2019.

Fund Descriptions
The Successor Agency budget is organized into a Redevelopment Obligation Retirement Fund (RORF) and debt service funds. The RORF accounts for the staffing and other expenditures required in winding down activities of the former Redevelopment Agency. The Debt Service funds are used to pay for the former Redevelopment Agency’s debt service on its outstanding Tax Allocation Bonds, loans and other debt of the former Redevelopment Agency.

Operating Funds
■ Fund 318: Redevelopment Obligation Retirement Fund (RORF) The RORF serves as the primary operating funds in the winding down of the former Redevelopment Agency. This fund is used to pay the documented enforceable obligations of the former redevelopment agency that have been approved by the Successor Agency Oversight Board and the State Department of Finance.

Debt Service Funds
The Debt Service funds are used to pay for former Redevelopment Agency debt service on its outstanding Tax Allocation Bonds, loans and other debt of the former Redevelopment Agency. ■ Fund 666: 2016 Tax Allocation Refunding Bonds (TARBs) In July 2016, the Successor Agency issued the Tax Allocation Refunding Bonds in the amount of $29,315,000 to refinance the Agency’s outstanding 2006 Senior Tax Allocation Refunding Bonds, Series A, 2006 Subordinate Tax Allocation Refunding Bonds, Series B, and the 2008 Tax Allocation Refunding Bonds. The Annual Debt Service is paid from property tax increments generated in the project areas. The term of the bonds runs through 2036. ■ Fund 692: Long Term Advances Debt Service Fund – Redevelopment Agency This fund was established to account for Redevelopment Agency inter-fund loans.

Revenues
A summary of revenues by category are listed below:
■ Property Taxes – The revenues in this category are received due to the dissolution of the Redevelopment Agency.

For fiscal year 2027, Proposed Budget revenues decreased by $595,521 in comparison to the fiscal year 2026 Adopted Budget based on updated redevelopment property tax trust fund allocation information from the County Auditor & Controller.

Expenditures for fiscal year 2027 are for winding down for the former Redevelopment Agency activities and documented enforceable obligations.
■ Supplies & Services – The Supplies and Services expenditure category decreased by $2,500 as compared to the fiscal year 2026 Adopted Budget based on the reduced need for professional services. ■ Other Expenses – The Other expenses expenditure category increased by $6,548 as compared to the fiscal year 2026 Adopted Budget based on the staff time reimbursement cost increases for administration of Redevelopment Agencies enforceable obligations.
■ Transfers Out – The transfers out expenditure category accounts for the required debt service for the Successor Agency. Bonded debt service for the 2016 TARBS is approximately $2.1 million. The Transfers Out category has decreased by $709,002 as compared to the fiscal year 2026 Adopted Budget due to the scheduled decrease of the debt service payments related to the 2016 Tax Allocation Refunding Bonds.

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
The Chula Vista Housing Authority Fund accounts for all housing related activities funded through the Low/ Moderate Income Housing Fund and those eligible for reimbursement such as the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Block Grant Funds.
■ Fund 319: Successor Agency Housing Fund
The City’s Housing Authority became the Successor Housing Agency. This fund accounts for all assets originally held by the Low-Mod Fund. The fund revenues are restricted to eligible uses, primarily the production of affordable housing, as set forth in state law..

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

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
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.

Debt Service Funds
Debt Service Funds
The debt service requirement for the City, Public Financing Authority and Municipal Financing Authority is $36.5 million for fiscal year 2026-27. These funds do not include the Successor Agency to the Redevelopment Agency debt as it is reported in the Debt Administration section of this document. The $36.5 million budgeted for debt service funds is the required payments for the debt per respective amortization schedules; however, the amounts actually paid for debt service are usually less due to funds available with the trustee as a result of interest earnings or excess cash in the various debt service funds that reduce the required cash outlay budgeted for the annual payment of the debt.

Debt service payments are made from various City funds in accordance with the legal documents governing each borrowing. Currently, the debt is in the form of Certificates of Participation, Lease Revenue Bonds, Pension Obligation Bonds, Long Term Notes and Financed Purchase Obligations. Debt has been issued by the City to pay the City’s currently unamortized, unfunded accrued actuarial liability to CalPERS as of the 6/30/2019 valuation, and to finance a wide variety of projects, including the construction of the Public Works Center, the Police Facility, parking facilities, refurbishment of the Chula Vista Shopping Mall, property acquisitions, building remodeling, and equipment acquisition.

Community Development Block Grant Housing Program Fund
The overall CDBG entitlement funds are now budgeted in Fund 272 – Federal Grants. ■ 311: CDBG Housing Program
These funds are depositories of grant entitlement monies received from the Department of Housing and Urban Development for the Housing Program. The purpose of these monies is for community development projects; eligible activities include those that:
● Benefit low and moderate income people.

Open Space District Funds
These funds are a depository for all monies received for all flat rate property tax assessments levied against benefiting property owners for all maintenance of open space areas. Included in this group are funds 342 through 389.

The total assessment amount for each Open Space District is calculated each year based upon the cost of providing services within the district. This assessment rate is limited to the prior year’s amount, increased by the lesser of two local indexes. In recent years the indexed increases were not effectively keeping pace with the actual costs of providing these services to the property owners. Since the formation of several of the Open Space Districts, costs have significantly increased, and the assessments provided by these districts cannot keep up with the rising costs.

As a result, several Open Space Districts struggle to fund even the most basic levels of service with the resources available.

Miscellaneous Special Revenue Funds

Project revenues include Transient Occupancy Tax and Sales Tax revenues generated by the Bayfront Project geographic area. Expenditures include contributions to the Chula Vista Bayfront Facilities Financing Authority. The Bayfront Financing Authority was created as a joint powers agreement between the City of Chula Vista, the County of San Diego, and the San Diego Unified Port District for the purpose of issuing tax exempt debt obligations to finance development of the Chula Vista Bayfront Master Plan area.

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.

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. ■ Active Transportation (Bikeway & Pedestrian) Plan
■ Asset Management Plan
■ Bayfront TDIF Program
■ Downtown Chula Vista Parking Management Plan
■ Drainage Master Plan
■ Environmental Mitigation Program
■ F Street Promenade Streetscape Master Plan
■ Fire Master Plan
■ General Plan
■ Habitat Conservation / Multiple Species Conservation Plan (MSCP) ■ Main Street Streetscape Master Plan
■ Parks & Recreation Master Plan
■ Parks Master Plan
■ Street Saver Condition Index Database
■ Traffic Monitoring Program
■ Wastewater Master Plan
■ Western TDIF Program
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

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
