ITEM TITLE
Consultant Services Agreement: Approve a Consultant Services Agreement with Otay Water District to Provide Water Consumption Data and Sewer Billing Services Report Number: 26-0103
Location: No specific geographic location
Department: Finance
G.C. § 84308 Regulations Apply: No
Environmental Notice : This activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) State Guidelines. Therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3), no environmental review is required.
Recommended Action
Adopt a resolution approv ing a consultant services agreement with Otay Water District to provide water consumption data and sewer billing services.
SUMMARY
The proposed consultant services agreement with Otay Water District ( “OWD”) provides for water consumption data and sewer billing services for parcels served by OWD within the jurisdictional boundaries of the City of Chula Vista, for which OWD has historically performed these services. OWD was selected on a sole-source basis pursuant to Chula Vista Municipal Code Section 2.5 6.070(B)(4), based on its unique qualifications and exclusive access to the data necessary to perform these services. Staff recommends entering into an initial term of five (5) years, with an option to extend for one additional five-year term. All costs associated with this agreement are funded by Sewer funds.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The proposed activity has been reviewed f or compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and it has been determined that the activity is not a project a s defined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines because the proposed activity consists of a government fiscal/ administrative activity which does not result in a physical change in the environment. Therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(C)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, the activity is not subject to CEQA.
City of Chula Vista - City Council

BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
Not applicable.
DISCUSSION
The City administers its sewer billing services in a manner that ensures the accurate calculation of sewer service charges, proper revenue collection, and reliable customer service for all parcels connected to the City’s wastewater system. Sewer service fees are based, in part, on each customer’s metered water use. To perform these functions, the City relies on timely and accurate water consumption data from water agencies serving customers within the City’s jurisdiction.
OWD provides potable water service to parcels located within its jurisdictional boundaries and is uniquely positioned to supply the City with the consumption data required to calculate sewer service charges and to perform sewer billing services on behalf of the City.
To ensure continuity of essential data-sharing, sewer billing functions that support the City’s sewer service program and maintain the long -standing and effective partnership between the City and OWD, staff recommend entering into a new agreement with OWD for the provision of water consumption data reporting, calculation of sewer service charges, and sewer billing services. OWD was selected on a sole -source basis pursuant to Chula Vista Municipal Code Section 2.5 6.070(B)(4), based on its unique qualifications and exclusive access to the data necessary to perform these services.
Services under this agreement include the calculation of sewer service charges using the rates and formulas provided annually by the City, billing sewer charges within OWD’s monthly water utility bills, collect ing payments, and remitting sewer revenues to the City. OWD will also provide customer service support for inquiries related to sewer billing and will provide detailed periodic reporting to the City.
The agreement establishes an initial term of five (5) years, through June 30, 2031. Compensation for the OWD is based on a starting rate of $1.50 per account billed each month within the fiscal year. First year costs are estimated at $590,000. Estimated costs within the 5-year initial term are projected at $3.31 million. An option to extend by an additional five-years may be mutually accepted. Total compensation through June 30, 2036, shall not exceed $7.7 million. This agreement formalizes the ongoing collaboration between the City and Otay Water District and ensures the City continues to provide reliable and accurate sewer billing services to its customers.
DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
Staff reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and determined that it is not site -specific and consequently, the real property holdings of the City Council members do not create a disqualifying real property-related financial conflict of interest under the Political Reform Act (Cal. Gov't Code § 87100, et seq.).
Staff are not independently aware and have not been informed by any City Council member of any other fact that may constitute a basis for a decision-maker conflict of interest in this matter.

CURRENT-YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
There is no current-year fiscal impact as these services will begin on July 1, 2026.
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
The costs associated with this agreement are included in the fiscal year 2026-27 budget in the Sewer Funds.
Ongoing funding for this agreement will be incorporated as part of the annual budget development process in future fiscal years.
The proposed agree ment with OWD would authorize consultant services in the amount not -to-exceed $7,700,000 over the life of the agreement if the five-year extension is exercised. In fiscal year 2026-27, staff projects consultant services at $590,000. Increase are expected in subsequent fiscal years due to increase s in service volume, coupled with annual increases per account billed based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI- U) for San Diego Area . The table below outlines the not -to-exceed amount over the life of the agreement if the five-year extension is exercised.

DISCUSSION
The Police Department submitted a grant application in October 2025 to the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (“Cal OES”) for its Domestic Violence Response Team (“DVRT”). On April 17, 2026, the Police Department was approved funding from the Cal OES Law Enforcement Specialized Units Program in the amount of $203,142 for the grant period of January 1, 2026 to December 31, 2026.
The Police Department and SBCS Corporation (“SBCS”) have partnered for nearly 30 years to reduce domestic violence, beginning with the establishment of the DVRT in 1997. The DVRT provides a continuous 24/7 response to 911 domestic violence calls, supported by SBCS’ bilingual advocates, who respond on-site within 20 minutes and follow up within 48 hours, as neede d. During immediate responses, advocates meet police officers or investigators at the incident location to provide crisis intervention, conduct a risk and safety assessment, and coordinate immediate safety measures for the family. The following day, a day team advocate connects with the victims to conduct a more comprehensive Family Well Being Assessment and intake process, identifying needs and coordinating resources such as shelter, counseling, and additional services through SBCS or partners. In cases in volving children, cross-reporting occurs to Child and Family Wellbeing (formerly Child Welfare Services).
In addition to DVRT, Police Department collaborates with SBCS on initiatives such as Domestic Abuse Forensic Exams, multidisciplinary team case meetings, and the South Region DV Coalition. This partnership extends to coordinated responses and resource sharing, enhancing capacity to address the complexities of domestic violence cases.
Additionally, the City contributes to funding SBCS shelters, which supports ongoing assistance for families in need. Through these collaborative efforts, the Police Department ensures that victims and their families gain access to a wide range of services offered by SBCS. Further, Police Department and SBCS work closely with the San Diego County District Attorney’s Victim Witness Assistance Program for legal advocacy, Center for Community Solutions for rape crisis services, the County of San Diego Child and Family Wellbeing as well as other local social service agencies in or der to provide victims with a continuum of services to meet their needs.
The Police Department , together with SBCS, was also previously a participant in the Law Enforcement Specialized Units Program, reflecting a longstanding commitment to supporting domestic violence victims in the Chula Vista community . With SBCS as a key partner, the Police Department provides families in Chula Vista with streamlined, multi-layered support that goes beyond immediate intervention and extends to long- term assistance.
With 15,204 calls for service ( “CFS”), Domestic Violence ( “DV”) is the 3rd most common type of call for service in Chula Vista. 2025 aggravated assault cases are up 3% compared to the prior 3 -year average.
Approximately 37% of all aggravated assault cases in Chula Vista are DV related. Sixty-four percent (64%) of the DV CFS in Chula Vista are dispatched to western Chula Vista sectors, a predominately low -income area.
A substantial portion of DV CFS involve repeat offenders & victims, and recurrent addresses. Between 2022 and October 2025, 35% of DV related cases resulted in an obvious injury.
Since the inception of the DVRT, the City has experienced a downward trend in rates of domestic violence, yet DV is still a huge issue within the community. The current program could benefit from the following:
City of Chula Vista - City Council
June 16, 2026 Post City Council/Housing Authority Agenda P a g e | 3
Expanded training for officers/investigators on the specialized needs of victims and their families; More effectively coordinated response to DV calls in order to prevent the escalation/lethality of incidents;
Revised protocols to ensure a consistent response to violations of protective orders; Increased advocacy for victims, through an enhanced partnership with the District Attorney’s Victim Witness Program and SBCS;
Expansion of the number of DVRT advocates to in crease available response and reduce follow -up response time;
Concentration of resources, services and supports (through an expansion of collaborative efforts with service providers), in western Chula Vista, where DV rates remain high; and Continuation of the tracking and analysis of repeat incidents, in an effort to reduce their occurrence.
With the grant funding from the Cal OES Law Enforcement Specialized Units Program and continued partnership with SBCS Corporation, the Police Department will strengthen efforts and provide more comprehensive support to DV victims in the Chula Vista community.
The Cal OES Law Enforcement Specialized Units Program is a 3-year grant cycle, in which funds are awarded on an annual basis. This award covering calendar year 202 6 is Year 2 of the 3 -year grant cycle. When the City receives award notice of calendar year 2027 funding, the Police Department will seek Council acceptance of the additional funding.
DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and has determined that it is not site-specific and consequently, the real property holdings of the City Council members do not create a disqualifying real property-related financial conflict of interest under the Political Reform Act. (Gov. Code, § 87100, et seq.) Staff is not independently aware and has not been informed by any City Council member of any other fact that may constitute a basis for a decision-maker conflict of interest in this matter.
CURRENT-YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
Approval of this resolution will result in the acceptance of $203,142 in grant revenues from the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services, along with appropriations of $196,359 to Supplies and Services and $6,783 to the Other Expenses category of the Police Grants section of the Federal Grants Fund for fiscal year 2025-26. Funding from Cal OES will completely offset these costs, resulting in no net fiscal impact to the General Fund.
A detective assigned to the Family Protection Unit (FPU) will fulfill the 25% match requirement of the grant.
The personnel costs of the FPU detective are already included in the General Fund fiscal year 2025-26 budget.
No additional appropriations are needed for the 25% match.

A. Within Chula Vista, Bonita/Sunnyside, and Imperial Beach there is a public health and safety need for effective and efficient basic and advanced life support pre-hospital emergency medical care and ambulance transport services (“Emergency Ambulance Services”).
B. Various studies and actual practical experience have clearly demonstrated that communities of the approximate size and population of the Agencies are best assured of receiving the highest level of Emergency Ambulance Services at the lowest cost to the consumer where service calls are originated through the 911 system if said services are delivered by a single, competent provider on an exclusive basis.
C. Under state and local law, each Agency is authorized to provide or contract for exclusive Emergency Ambulance Services as public convenience requires and has been doing so since prior to June 1, 1980.
D. The County of San Diego Local Emergency Medical Services (“LEMSA”) has adopted a plan, in which it has designated an exclusive operating area (“EOA”) defined as that part of San Diego County generally known as Chula Vista, Bonita/Sunnyside, and Imperial Beach, for which Chula Vista has the authority to contract for Emergency Ambulance Services on behalf of the EOA.

4.3.3. Local Agency Service Reimbursement Funds.
a. If for any Fiscal Year of operations under this Agreement, the revenues generated within a sub-Service Area for such year exceeds that sub-Service Area’s Allocable Share of Costs for that year, the amount of such excess (in each case, that Agency’s “Local Agency Service Reimbursement Funds”) shall be identified by CVFD on th at year’s Annual Financial Statement , and made available for reimbursement to the corresponding Agency under the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 4.3.3.
b. An Agency seeking reimbursement out of its amount of Local Agency Service Reimbursement Funds must first submit to CVFD a statement of its qualified costs incurred for its provision of First Responder Emergency Medical Services during the corresponding operational period. Such statement shall be prepared and submitted in a form approved by CVFD . A representative of each Agency, or its authorized consultant, shall certify such Agency’s statement to be accurate and not misleading in all material respects. Each statement submitted shall be subject to the review and reasonable approval of the City for consistency with industry standards. Any costs submitted that are not consistent with industry standards will not be qualified for reimbursement under the terms of this Agreement.
c. In any Fiscal Year, each Local Agency’s “Qualified Contingent Cost Reimbursement” shall be equal to the amount by which that Local Agency’s submitted and approved costs for its provision of First Responder Emergency Medical Services (“Approved First Responder Costs”) exceeds that Agency’s Qualified Base Cost Reimbursement, up to, but never in excess of, the amount of that Agency’s allocable share of Local Agency Service Reimbursement Funds. City shall endeavor to remit Qualified Contingent Cost Reimbursement amounts due and payable within 30 days of its calculation thereof, but in no event later than December 31st of each Fiscal Year.
d. To the extent Local Agency Service Reimbursement Funds exceed Approved First Responder Costs in any given Fiscal Year, CVFD , shall reinvest such amounts in the Emergency Ambulance Services system, either by building capital and/or operational reserves, investing in training or equipment, and/or other operational enhancements for the benefit of the system . CVFD shall consult with the other Agenc ies to receive their input prior to determining, in its discretion, the ultimate use of such funds To the extent an Agency’s Approved First Responder Costs exceed its Local Agency Service Reimbursement Funds, each Local Agency shall be solely responsible for such costs; no unreimbursed costs shall be carried forward to future years.
e. For example, if for Fiscal Year 21/22 Local Agency “A” has a Qualified Base Cost Reimbursement of $120,000, a Local Agency Service Reimbursement Funds allocation of $21,206, and an Approved First Responder Costs amount of $135,00 0, Agency A would be entitled to receive a Qualified
City of Chula Vista - City Council

Therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the activity is exempt pursuant to Title 24, Part 58.34(a)(2)(3) & (10) of the Code of Federal Regulations. Thus, no further environmental review is necessary at this time.
This determination is predicated on CEQA Guidelines Section 15004 which provides direction to lead agencies on the appropriate tim ing for environmental review. Projects for which these grant funds are intended will require preparation of environmental documents in accordance with the State CEQA Guidelines, NEPA, and the City’s Municipal Code.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
Community engagement activities for this item included social media outreach requesting completion of a public survey. Staff invited community members to participate in identifying community priorities related to allocation of grant funds in the upcoming fiscal year.
The onl ine survey was available from November 19, 2025 , through January 21, 2026, and received 899 responses from 21 participants.
Survey responses indicate the following priorities:
1. Public services, affordable housing, and economic development are the greatest community needs.
2. The most urgent infrastructure needs are street lighting and street improvements (new pavement).
3. The highest priority community facility needs are senior centers, parks and recreational facilities, and homeless shelters and facilities.
4. Affordable housing needs include new construction of affordable rental housing, assistance to remove lead-based paint from homes, assistance for energy efficiency improvements to homes, and first-time homebuyer assistance.
5. Among eligible public services crime awareness and prevention, senior services, and health services received the highest scores, indicating greater need.
6. Substance abuse services ranked highest among special needs services.
7. Participants also express a need for job training and new job opportunities.
In addition, the City held a public hearing on January 6, 2026, to receive community and City Council input regarding Fiscal Year 2026 -2027 funding priorities. Community feedback received through these engagement activities informed development of the draft Action Plan and is reflected, as appropriate, in the funding recommendations presented to the City Council.
BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Housing and Homelessness Advisory Commission were informed of the public review period during their March 25, 2026, meeting.
DISCUSSION
As a HUD entitlement community, the City receives annual funding through three (3) federal entitlement programs: the CDBG, HOME, and the ESG programs. The Action Plan, which serves as the City’ s annual
City of Chula Vista - City Council
June 16, 2026 Post City Council/Housing Authority Agenda P a g e | 3
funding application to HUD was considered and approved for the Fiscal Year 2026-2027 on May 19, 2026, and subject request will appropriate such funds to the Fiscal Year 2026/27 Housing budget.
DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council members and has found no property holdings within 1,000 feet of the boundaries of the Naples Street and Granjas Road CIP which is the subject of this action. It was determined that Mayor John McCann has r eal property holdings within 500 feet of the boundaries of the property located at 31 4th Avenue which is subject of Resolution B. Consequently, pursuant to California Code of Regulations Title 2, Sections 18700 and 18702.2(a)(7), this item presents a disqualifying real property-related financial conflict of interest under the Political Reform Act (Cal. Gov't Code § 87100, et seq.) for the above-identified member for Resolution B.
Staff is not independently aware and has not been informed by any City Counc il member of any other fact that may constitute a basis for a decision-maker conflict of interest in this matter.
CURRENT-YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
There are no current year fiscal impacts to the General Fund as a result of this action.
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
There is no ongoing fiscal impact to the City's General Fund as a result of this action. All costs associated with the administration of the CDBG, HOME, and ESG programs are covered by the respective grants.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The proposed activity has been revi ewed for compliance with CEQA, and it has been determined that the activity qualifies for a General Rule Exemption pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the California Environmental Quality Act State Guidelines, because there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment. Thus, no further environmental review is required.
BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
Not applicable.
DISCUSSION
The Parks and Recreation Department is pursuing grant fund ing from five non-profit organizations to support community programming in aquatics, recreation, and senior services.
The Chuck and Ernestina Kreutzkamp Foundation, in partnership with Step Into Swim, will provide funding to offer free swim lessons to children who otherwise would not have access to formal instruction.
The National Recreation and Park Association grant will support recreation programs and activities at various recreational centers, enhancing participation and accessibility for residents.
The San Diego Seniors Community Foundation grant will continue to fund programs, services, and engagement opportunities at the Norman Park Senior Center.
The Kaiser Foundation Hospitals will provide funding for recreational and aquatic programming at various locations.
To further support aquatic programming and water safety, the Prevent Drowning Foundation of San Diego will fund swimming lessons and water safety education for students in Chula Vista.
Collectively, these grants provide ongoing support for essential programs that promote community wellness and inclusion. Grant funds will be used to offset staffing, program delivery, and operational costs associated with each initiative.
Each of these grants require specific acceptance and timeliness requirements. To ensure compliance, staff is requesting City Council authorization for the City Manager to accept grant funds and execute grant agreements from these four non-profits through June 30, 2027. Should the City be awarded the grants, staff will return to City Council for approval of the associated appropriations.

Additionally, it is anticipated that any grant that is awarded will fully offset any expenditures incurred, resulting in no net fiscal impact.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The proposed activity has been reviewed for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and it has been determined that the activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines because the proposed activity consists of a governmental fiscal/administrative activity which does not result in a physical change in the environment.

DISCUSSION
On August 8, 2023, the City Council approved an agreement (Attachment 1) with Cityzen Solutions, Inc., dba PublicInput, for an online Software as a Service (“SaaS”) public engagement platform following a competitive procurement process through RFP P09-2023. The original agreement included an initial term through June 30, 2026, with optional extensions.
Since implementation, PublicInput has become the City’s centralized public engagement platform supporting community outreach, surveys, public meetings, multilingual engagement, reporting, and accessibility efforts across multiple City departments.
The City of Chula Vista continues to prioritize public engagement in City ope rations. PublicInput supports centralized community engagement efforts by providing tools that encourage public participation in City projects, programs, and initiatives while improving access to information and opportunities for input.
The platform is currently used to support surveys, project webpages, multilingual outreach, public meeting participation, data reporting, and community engagement efforts citywide.
Since adopting the platform in 2023, the City has launched more than 30 public surveys suppo rting a wide range of initiatives, including major citywide efforts such as the Citywide Strategic Plan and other long-range planning and master plan initiatives. Through these engagement efforts, the platform has supported participation from approximately 6,881 contributors and collected more than 11,691 data points of public input.
PublicInput will also support the City’s ongoing efforts to improve digital accessibility and equitable community participation. The platform will provide features that support accessibility requirements, including multilingual engagement tools, captioning capabilities, ADA -supportive meeting participation features, and enhanced opportunities for two-way communication with community members.
The amended agreement includes expanded functionality and integration that support operational efficiency and accessibility goals, including Single Sign -On (“SSO”), enhanced meeting management tools, Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) -supported transcription and translation services, live polling , speaker queue management, reporting dashboards, and integration capabilities with external systems and platforms.

June 16, 2026 Post City Council/Housing Authority Agenda P a g e | 3
These tools support the City’s continued efforts to modernize public engagement practices, improve consistency across departments, expand participation opportunities, and reduce barriers to engagement for residents.
Staff recommends extending the agreement through June 30, 2029, (Attachment 2) to ensure continuity and stability for the City’s centralized engagement infrastructure , preventing disruptions to ongoing public engagement initiatives and departmental workflows. In addition, staff is requesting authority to exercise up to four additional one -year extensions through June 30, 2033, which would provide flexibility for future operational needs while maintaining Council oversight through the annual budget process.
Through negotiations associated with the extended agreement term, staff secure d a reduced annual escalation cap of five percent (5%). Under the original short -term agreement structure, annual increases were approximately ten percent (10%).
The revised pricing structure is anticipated to result in an estimated cost savings of approxim ately $11,000 through 2029, with an estimated additional savings of approximately $13,000 if all optional extension years are exercised through 2033. This negotiated pricing structure provides greater long-term cost predictability and fiscal stability for the City while maintaining continuity of service and expanded platform functionality.
Continued use of the platform reduces the need for multiple standalone engagement tools and supports a standardized, centralized approach to public engagement across City operations that incorporates the community’s voice.
DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and has determined that it is not site-specific and consequently, the real property holdings of the City Council member s do not create a disqualifying real property-related financial conflict of interest under the Political Reform Act (Cal. Gov't Code § 87100, et seq.).
Staff is not independently aware, and has not been informed by any City Councilmember, of any other fac t that may constitute a basis for a decision-maker conflict of interest in this matter.
CURRENT-YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
There is no current-year fiscal impact as this amendment will be effective next fiscal year.
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
Compensation under the amended agreement for the guaranteed term through June 30, 2029, totals approximately $227,913. If all optional extensions are exercised, total compensation through June 30, 2033, would total approximately $588,634.

FY 2026-27 $72,296
FY 2027-28 $75,911
FY 2028-29 $79,706
