To the extent permitted by law, the City may levy and collect such delinquent amounts from the applicable Parcels and/or owners. Any remaining portion of the Special Tax Requirement shall be allocated and levied in accordance with Steps 1 through 2 above.

Notwithstanding the above, under no circumstances will the Special Tax levied against any Assessor’s Parcel be increased by more than ten percent (10%) annually up to the Maximum Special Tax as a consequence of delinquency or default by the owner of any other Assessor's Parcel within Area D of the CFD.

E. Appeals
Any landowner or resident who pays the Special Tax and believes that the amount of the Special Tax levied on their Assessor’s Parcel is in error shall first consult with the CFD Administrator regarding such errors. If following such consultation, the CFD Administrator determines that an error has occurred; the CFD Administrator may amend the amount of the Special Tax levied on such Assessor’s Parcel. If following such consultation and action, if any, by the CFD Administrator, the landowner or resident believes such error still exists; such person may file a written notice with the City Clerk of the City appealing the amount of the Special Tax levied on such Assessor’s Parcel. Upon receipt of any such notice, the City Clerk shall forward a copy of such notice to the City Manager who shall establish as part of the proceedings and administration of the CFD, a special three -member Review/Appeal Committee. The Review/Appeal Committee may establish such procedures, as it deems necessary to undertake review of any such appeal. The Review/Appeal Committee shall interpret this Rate and Method of Apportionment and mak e determinations relative to the annual administration of the Special Tax and any landowner or resident appeals, as herein specified. The decision of the Review/Appeal Committee shall be final and binding to all persons.

F. Manner of Collection
Special Taxes levied pursuant to Section D above shall be collected in the same manner and at the same time as ordinary ad valorem property taxes; provided, however, that the CFD Administrator may directly bill the Special Tax, may collect Special Taxes at a different time or in a different manner if necessary to meet the financial obligations of Area D of the CFD or as otherwise determined appropriate by the CFD Administrator.

5 4. RATE AND METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT
The Rate and Method of Apportionment of Special Tax (“RMA”) for CFD No. 97-2 IA D is attached hereto as Appendix A and is incorporated by reference into this report.

The special tax will be levied and collected in the same manner and at the same time as ad valorem property taxes levied by the County of San Diego and will be subject to the same penalties and procedures in the case of delinquency. However, the special tax may also be collected in such other manner and at such other time as may be necessary to meet the financial obligations of CFD No. 97-2 IA D, as permitted by the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982 (the “Act”).

All property within CFD No. 97-2 IA D, unless legally exempt or exempt pursuant to the RMA, shall be subject to the levy of the special tax to fund the authorized services, incidental expenses, and administrative costs of CFD No. 97-2 IA D. In accordance with Government Code Section 53325.3, the special tax is not a special assessment and need not be apportioned based on the benefit received by each parcel. Rather, the tax may be apportioned based on cost, service availability, or other reasonable criteria, provided it is not based on an ad valorem (value-based) methodology, in compliance with Article XIII A of the California Constitution.

In developing the RMA, Harris & Associates relied on data and assumptions including, but not limited to, building square footage, net taxable acreage, proposed land use classifications, and service area square footage. These inputs were provided by the City of Chula Vista, participating developers, bond counsel, and other members of the formation team.

Harris & Associates has not independently verified such data and disclaims responsibility for the impact of any inaccuracies on the resulting RMA or on CFD No. 97-2 IA D’s ability to meet its financial obligations.

ITEM TITLE
Second Amendment to Agreement: Legal Services Agreement with Gatzke Dillon & Ballance LLP to Provide On-call Legal Services for Private Development Project Permitting, Land Use Matters, and Planning Commission
Report Number: 26-0230
Location: No specific geographic location
Department: City Attorney, Development Services
G.C. § 84308: Yes
Environmental Notice: The activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) State Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3) no environmental review is required.

Recommended Action
Adopt a resolution approving a Legal Services Agreement with Gatzke Dillon & Ballance LLP for on-call legal services to assist the City Attorney’s Office to advise the Development Services Department for a not -to- exceed amount of $1,050,000.

SUMMARY
The Development Services Department processes a large volume and variety of permits for private development projects and administers a broad range of land use matters that require legal review and/or consultation throughout the permitting process, including support of the Planning Commission. This amendment will allow the City Attorney’s Office to utilize outside legal services from Gatzke Dillon & Ballance, LLP in support of private development project permitting, land use matters, and Planning Commission to support the Development Services Department. As part of their legal services, Gatzke Dillon & Ballance LLP reviews project documents scheduled for Planning Commission, provides legal advice on land use matters, and attends Planning Commission meetings on behalf of the City Attorney’s Office.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Director of Development Services has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with CEQA and has determined that the activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the CEQA Guidelines because

Page 34 of 218 ends

City of Chula Vista - City Council

August 18, 2026 Post City Council Agenda
P a g e | 2
it will not result in a physical change in the environment; therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Thus, no environmental review is required.

BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
Not applicable

DISCUSSION
The City of Chula Vista (“City”) has an important business need for on -call legal services to assist the City Attorney’s Office in advising the Development Services Department regarding land use and development related matters. The Development Services Department provides permitting services for a variety of projects, from individual homeowners to large subdivision developments, and administers the City’s land use and development regulations for private development projects throughout the City. Many of these projects and related land use matters may require the need for legal review at any point in the permitting process, including projects that require Planning Commission and City Council approvals.

On behalf of the City Attorney’s Office, Gatzke Dillon & Ballance LLP has reviewed many development projects requiring Planning Commission approval; supported staff at a Zoning Administrator Public Hearing; supported staff at City Council for proj ects; provided legal advice on land use matters; and supported staff on an appeal of the Zoning Administrator’s decision. To date, the City Attorney’s Office and the Development Services Department has found Gatzke Dillon & Ballance LLP very responsive to all requested legal service needs. Prompt legal review of development projects and other land use matters allows the Development Services Department to continue to provide customers with the quality services they expect from the City.

Additionally, the prompt responsiveness of legal services reduces delays in the development of housing units within the City.

For the reasons detailed above, the City Attorney has determined that Gatzke Dillon & Ballance LLP possesses the unique qualifications needed to repre sent the City effectively and a competitive solicitation would be impractical. Staff therefore recommends that the City Council waive the competitive bidding requirement, pursuant to Chula Vista Municipal Code sections 2.56.110(F) and 2.56.110(H)(2).

Approval of the proposed resolution will authorize a legal services agreement with Gatzke Dillon & Ballance LLP for on-call land use and development related legal services. This Second Amendment to the Agreement provides for an increase to the not-to-exceed amount from $350,000 to $1,050,000 and extends the term of the agreement from December 1, 2026, to December 1, 2027. It is anticipated that most of the costs for work performed under the agreement will be reimbursed by developer deposit account funds.

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 (Cal. Gov't Code § 87100, et seq.).

Staff is not independently aware and has not been informed by any City Council member of any other fact that may constitute a basis for a decision-maker conflict of interest in this matter.

CURRENT-YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
There are no anticipated fiscal impacts to the General Fund or Development Services Department Fund as a result of this action . All costs associated with these services will be covered by developer deposit account funds provided by the project applicants.

ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
There are no ongoing fiscal impacts to the General Fund or Development Services Fund as a result of this action. All costs associated with these services will be covered by developer deposit account funds provided by the project applicants. Ongoing costs will be borne by the project applicants and will not exceed the value of $1,050,000.

BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
Not applicable.

DISCUSSION
Southern Regional Resource Center, Inc. dba Southern Caregivers Resource Center ( “SCRC”) is a non-profit company that provides free caregiver support services for families caring for seniors and adults living with Alzheimer’s disease and adults with chronic and disabling conditions or diseases which is a public benefit to the City and the region SCRC is funded by grants from the California State Department of Aging, County of San Diego Health and Human Services Agency, Aging and Independence Services, Behavioral Health Services, private foundations, and donations from individuals and corporations.

With the passing of Proposition 1, SCRC’s contract with San Diego County Behavioral Health Services terminated the Caregiver Support Services contract, effective June 30, 2026. As a result, SCRC’s funds to lease office space at Norman Park Senior Center were terminated. Because SCRC provides a public benefit, the City will provide up to six (6) months of rent deferral during the initial term of the lease to allow SCRC time to secure replacement funding. The initial lease agreement is for one (1) year with four (4), one (1) year renewal periods. The monthly rent for the initial term is $842.00. The rent will increase by 3% annually for each renewal period. Upon receipt of funding, SCRC will pay any deferred rent and rent for the remaining term of the initial lease term. If funding is not obtained prior to the expiration of the six (6) month deferral period, City and SCRC will meet to discuss an extension of the deferral period.

SCRC has occupied space at the Norman Park Senior Center located at 270 F Street for approximately 20 years and has invested approximately $12,000 over that period for permanently affixed improvements to the space which include flooring, painting and baseboards.

DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the property hold ings of the City Council members and has found no property holdings within 1,000 feet of the boundaries of the property which is the subject of this action. Consequently, this item does not present a disqualifying real property -related financial conflict of interest under California Code of Regulations Title 2, section 18702.2(a)(7) or (8), for purposes of the Political Reform Act (Cal. Gov’t Code §87100, et seq.).

Staff is not independently aware, and has not been informed by any City Council member, of any other fact that may constitute a basis for a decision-maker conflict of interest in this matter.

CURRENT-YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
Approval of this item will authorize a one (1) year lease agreement with four (4), one (1) year renewal options. The positive fiscal impact for the current yea r is rental income of $842.00 per month , totaling $10,104.00 for the initial term.

ITEM TITLE
Acceptance and Appropriation: Accept Grant Funding for the Cannabis Tax Fund Grant Program from the California Highway Patrol and Appropriate Funds
Report Number: 26-0253
Location: No specific geographic location
Department: Police
G.C. § 84308 Regulations Apply: No
Environmental Notice : The 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 accepting grant funds in the amount of $4 39,974.82 from the California Highway Patrol to be used for the Cannabis Tax Fund Grant Program and appropriating funds for that purpose. (4/5 Vote Required)

SUMMARY
The City of Chula Vista on behalf of the Chula Vista Police Department has been awarded $439,974.82 in grant funding from the California Highway Patrol for the Cannabis Tax Fund Grant Program (“Program”). The intent of this Program is to educate the public regarding the dangers of impaired driving; enforce impaire d driving laws on the roadway; and improve the Police Department’s effectiveness through training and development of new strategies.

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. Therefore, pursuant to section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, the activity is not subject to CEQA.

BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
Not applicable.

DISCUSSION
The Cannabis Tax Fund Grant Program (“Program”) is administered by the California Highway Patrol (“CHP”) and provides State funding to allied agencies for the education, prevention, and enforcement of laws related to driving under the influence of alcohol and other drugs, including cannabis. The Police Department has been awarded $439,974.82 (“Funding”) for the fiscal year 2026-27 program, covering a grant period from July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The Funding will also be used to enhance training for officers.

Following the 2016 passage of Proposition 64, the Adult Use of Marijuana Act, the Police Department has seen a continual increase in driving under the influence (“D UI”) and drug-related arrests and collisions. As of January 1, 2018, Proposition 64 legalized the recreational use and possession of marijuana for adults aged 21 and older. This change, along with the rising prevalence of other impairing substances in the community, underscores the need to expand officer training in impaired driving enforcement.

To address this, the Police Department is seeking to increase the number of officers certified in Standardized Field Sobriety Testing (“SFST”), Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement (“ARIDE”), and the Drug Recognition Expert (“DRE”) program. Expanding these skill sets will enhance the Police Department’s ability to detect and respond to impaired driving, while also supporting community education and awareness efforts.

The SFST is a set of standardized tests used by officers to determine whether a driver is impaired by alcohol or other substances. These tests assess specific physical and cognitive responses , or reflexes, that may be diminished by intoxication.

ARIDE bridges the gap between SFST and the Drug Evaluation and Classification programs (“DEC/DRE”). The ARIDE course trains officers to observe, identify, and articulate signs of impairment due to drugs, alcohol, or both. By enhancing officers’ recognition of impaired driving, ARIDE helps reduce impaired driving incidents and serious crashes.

A DRE is a specially trained law enforcement officer who can identify drivers impaired by substances other than, or in addition to, alcohol. DREs complete all phases of training under the DEC Program, as established by the International Association of Chiefs of Police ( “IACP”) and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (“NHTSA”). The Police Department is currently the only DRE certification site in San Diego County. Two officers are certified DRE instructors, and three officers are certified SFST instructors.

The Police Department will host the following training courses , which will be taught or attended by Police Department personnel on an overtime basis. These classes will be open to law enforcement agencies throughout San Diego County and the State of California:
 2 SFST courses (Instructors - 1 Sergeant, 1 Agent, 1 Officer) Goal: 30 officers from the Police Department trained over the two courses
 2 ARIDE courses (Instructors - 1 Sergeant, 1 Agent, 1 Officer ) Goal: 10 Police Department officers trained over the two courses

Page 76 of 218 ends

City of Chula Vista - City Council

August 18, 2026 Post City Council Agenda
P a g e | 3
 1 DRE course (Instructors - 1 Sergeant, 1 Agent) Goal: 2 Police Department officers trained  16 DRE Field Certification - to correlate with the DRE school in San Diego during 3rd quarter of grant  DRE recertification course - Goal: 2 Police Department officers recertified Grant funds will also be used to support DUI checkpoints and DUI saturation patrols. Saturation patrols involve deploying officers to targeted roadways during designated times to identify and apprehend impaired drivers. Unlike checkpoints, saturation patrols do not involve stopping every vehicle and do not use roadblocks.

Additionally, grant funds will allow DRE -certified officers to attend the IACP Impaired Driving and Traffic Safety (“IDTS”) Conference in Anaheim on August 21-23, 2026. The IDTS Conference offers a platform for sharing proven strategies to improve road safety, the latest science in impaired driving enforcement, and best practices for community engagement.

The Police Department will utilize the Funding as outlined in the table below.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
The City engaged the Center for Organizational Effectiveness (COE) to facilitate a comprehensive community engagement process to support development of the City’s 2026 –2031 Strategic Plan. Community engagement efforts included individual City Council interviews, district -based community workshops, a business roundtable, and a citywide community survey conducted through Community Voices.

The engagement process was intended to gather broad community input regarding priorities, service needs, organizational challenges, and long -term outcomes to help inform development of the Strat egic Plan framework and proposed initiatives.

Community workshops and outreach efforts focused on identifying community priorities related to infrastructure, economic vitality, public safety, governance, sustainability, quality of life, and community well-being.

ITEM TITLE
Agreement Amendment and Appropriation: Approve an Amendment to the Agreement with Garland, DBS Inc. and Amend the Fiscal Year 2026 -27 Capital Improvement Program Budgets for the Police Department Headquarters’ Roof Replacement
Report Number: 26-0249
Location: 315 Fourth Avenue
Department: Public Works
G.C. § 84308 Regulations Apply: Yes
Environmental Notice : The project qualifies for a Categorical Exemption pursuant to State California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines Section 15301 (Existing Facilities).

Recommended Action
Adopt a resolution, A) approving a second amendment with Garland DBS, Inc. to increase the maximum not- to-exceed contract amount from $6,000,000 to $7,000,000 over the term of the agreement, B) amending the fiscal year 2026-27 Capital Improvement Program Budgets and appropriating funds for roof replacement of the Police Department headquarters. (4/5 Vote Required).

SUMMARY
The Police Department Headquarters, located at 315 Fourth Avenue, is more than 20 years old. The facility’s roof has reached the end of its useful service life and requires full replacement to maintain the building’s integrity and ensure continued operational reliability.

The Public Works Department recommends proceeding with replacement of the Police Department Headquarters roof. Adoption of the proposed resolution would authorize the City to move forward with the project and reallocate avail able funding among Capital Improvement Program (CIP) projects within the Measure P Fund for fiscal year 2026-27 to fund the work.

Adding this project to the City’s other planned roof repair and replacement projects would cause total expenditures to exceed the current maximum not -to-exceed amount under the City’s agreement with Garland DBS, Inc. Accordingly, staff recommends approval of a second amendment to the

Page 131 of 218 ends

City of Chula Vista - City Council

August 18, 2026 Post City Council Agenda
P a g e | 2
agreement, increasing the maximum not -to-exceed contract amount from $6,000,000 to $7,000,000.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The proposed activity has been reviewed for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and it has been determined that the project qualifies for a Categorical Exemption pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 (Existing Facilities), which consists of the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of existing or former use and where the exceptions listed in State CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 would not apply in that no cumulative impacts were identified, no significant effects on the environment were identified, the project is not adjacent to a scenic highway, no historical resources would be affected by the action, and the project was not identified on a list of hazardous waste sites pursuant to Section 65962.5 of the Government Code. Thus, no further environmental review is required.

BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The regularly scheduled Measure P Citizens’ Oversight Committee (COC) meeting for July was cancelled due to lack of quorum. The proposed reallocation among CIP Projects within the Measure P Fund to fund the roof replacement will be presented at the next scheduled COC meeting.

DISCUSSION
Police Department Headquarters’ Roof
The Police Department is committed to providing community-focused policing that enhances the quality of life in Chula Vista and helps ensure the safety of its residents. The Police Department Headquarters, located at 315 Fourth Avenue, is more than 20 years old and r equires significant facility repairs. Most notably, the building’s roof has reached the end of its useful service life and requires replacement. This work is particularly important following the recent completion of the building’s HVAC replacement project, as a new roof will help protect that substantial investment and preserve the overall integrity of the facility.

On July 7, 2026, the City received a service proposal from Garland DBS, Inc. in the amount of $2,224,850. The proposed scope of work includes removal of the existing roofing system down to the insulation; repair and infill of damaged roof decking; installation of new base sheeting, coverboard, base sheet, and roofing membrane; replacement of curb and wall base flashings and roof penetration cover ings; improvements to duct seams and roof drains; and installation of new sheet metal roofing components.

Including project contingencies, the total estimated cost of the roof replacement project is approximately $2,676,000.

Garland Contract
On June 17, 2024, the City entered into a cooperative agreement with Garland DBS, Inc. ( “Garland”) for citywide roof replacement, repair, and maintenance services. The initial term of the agreement extended through June 17, 2026, with a maximum not-to-exceed amount of $2,000,000.

Page 132 of 218 ends

City of Chula Vista - City Council

August 18, 2026 Post City Council Agenda
P a g e | 3
On October 30, 2024, the agreement was amended to increase the not-to-exceed amount to $6,000,000 and extend the term through June 30, 2029.

Based on the volume and cost of roof maintenance, repair, and replacement projects completed and planned citywide, including the proposed Police Department Headquarters roof replacement project, expenditures under the agreement are expected to exceed the current $6,000,000 limit. Accordingly, staff recommend a second amendment to increase the agreement’s n ot-to-exceed amount to $7,000,000. This increase will provide sufficient contract capacity to complete the Police Department Headquarters roof replacement project and address additional roof maintenance and repair needs anticipated during fiscal year 2026-27.

Garland competitively bids individual projects to qualified local subcontractors, helping the City obtain competitive pricing while maintaining an efficient procurement process. Continuing to utilize Garland under the existing cooperative agreement is also expected to provide cost savings and administrative efficiencies over the remaining term of the agreement.

For the Police Department Headquarters Roof Replacement Project, Garland received the following bids:

Police Department Roof: Garland/DBS Bid Based Price
Contractor Bid Price
1) A Good Roofer, Inc. $2,224,850
2) Preman $2,409,235
3) Roof Construction $2,559,819
4) C&I $2,601,731

The Police Facility Repair Project (GGV0232) currently has an available balance of approximately $1,106,264, primarily resulting from cost savings associated with the Police Department HVAC Replacement Project (GGV0261), which is nearing completion.

To fully fund the proposed Police Department Headquarters roof replacement, staff recommends transferring an additional $1,57 0,000 in Measure P funds to the Police Facility Repair Project (GGV0232).

With this transfer, the project will have sufficient funding to cover the total anticipated cost of the roof replacement.

DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the property hold ings of the City Council members and has found no property holdings within 1,000 feet of the boundaries of the property which is the subject of this action. Consequently, this item does not present a disqualifying real property -related financial conflict of interest under California Code of Regulations Title 2, section 18702.2(a)(7) or (8), for the purposes of the Political Reform Act (Cal. Gov’t Code §87100, et seq.).

Staff is not independently aware, and has not been informed by Council members, of any o ther 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 following:

Page 133 of 218 ends

City of Chula Vista - City Council

August 18, 2026 Post City Council Agenda
P a g e | 4
 Amends the fiscal year 2026 -27 Capital Improvement Projects Program Budget by transferring $1,570,000 in the Measure P Fund from the Police Department HVAC Replacement Project (GGV0261) to the Police Facility Repair Project (GGV0232) in the Police Facility Repairs category within the Measure P Spending Plan.
 Approves the second amendment to the contract with Garland DBS, Inc. to increase the maximum not-to-exceed amount from $6,000,000 to $7,000,000.

The above adjustments do not have a current year fiscal impact, as funds for the Police Department headquarters’ roof replacement are available in Measure P Fund, Police Facility Repairs category, within the Measure P Spending Plan.

ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
Ongoing costs of the project will primarily consist of routine maintenance and periodic minor repairs necessary to preserve the roof’s condition and extend its useful life. These expenses will be incorporated into future budgets as part of the annual budget development process.

BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Housing and Homeless Advisory Commission will be advised of the agreement at their next meeting.

DISCUSSION
The City of Imperial Beach has identified a need to expand housing resources for residents experiencing homelessness. According to the 2026 WeAllCount Point -in-Time Count, 25 individuals were identified as experiencing unsheltered homelessness in Imperial Beach, a 47 percent increase from their 2025 count.

Since opening in May 2023, the Chula Vista Village at Otay has provided temporary bridge shelter and supportive services to 210 individuals experiencing homelessness. From July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026, the shelter enrolled 124 new participants and achieved 39 successful exits to permanent or temporary housing.

The proposed agreement establishes a partnership between the City of Chula Vista (“City”) and the City of Imperial Beach to provide bridge shelter and housing assistance to eligible Imperial Beach residents.

Efforts will be made to provide rental subsidies to housing within the City of Imperial Beach
The agreement establishes an initial term of two (2) years, with an option to extend upon mutual written agreement by both cities. The City of Imperial Beach will reimburse the City for the costs associated with shelter services, TBRA administration, and rental assistance as outlined. The number of shelter placements and TBRA vouchers made available will be based on Imperial Beach's available funding and program needs.

Gov’t Code § 87100, et seq.).

Staff is not independently aware, and has not been informed by an y City Council member, of any other fact that may constitute a basis for a decision-maker conflict of interest in this matter.
