The City’s cafeteria plan allotment is for enrollment in any of the City’s CalPERS’ health plans or other eligible benefit programs (e.g., dental, vision, etc.). The cost of the premium for the City’s health plan will be deducted from the employee's cafeteria plan allotment. If there is a difference, the employee will be responsible for the remainder of the premium amount to be paid through payroll deductions. Unused cafeteria plan allotment will be paid out as “cash in lieu”, up to a maximum of $1,150 per month (excludes Police Recruit). For Police Recruit the maximum “cash in lieu” is $287.50 per month. Cash in lieu payments are taxable income and not PERSable.

Any employee who is not enrolled in a City CalPERS health insurance plan, and does not provide proof of enrollment in another group health insurance plan (e.g., coverage under a spouse’s employer plan) within 30 days from the beginning of the new plan year will not be eligible to receive cash in lieu.

All benefitted employees must enroll in an available City health program unless they opt out.

An employee may receive cash in lieu for opting out of the City’s health program if he/she:
(1) Provides proof that th e employee and all individuals for whom the employee intends to claim a personal exemption deduction for the taxable year or years that begin or end in or with the City’s plan year to which the opt out applies (“ tax family”), have or will have minimum ess ential coverage through another source (other than coverage in the individual market, whether or not obtained through Covered California) for the plan year to which the opt out arrangement applies (“opt out period”); and

(2) Signs an attestation that the emp loyee and his/her tax family have or will have such minimal essential coverage for the opt out period. An employee must provide the attestation every plan year at open enrollment or within 30 days after the start of the plan year. The opt out payment cannot be made and the City will not in fact make payment if the employer knows or has reason to know that the employee or tax family member doesn’t have such alternative coverage, or if the conditions in this paragraph are not otherwise satisfied.

The City may modify health insurance benefits or cafeteria plan (including, as to both, but not limited to, plan benefits or structure, City or employee contributions and/or opt out amount or requirements) in order to avoid penalties or taxes under the ACA or ot her statutory scheme that may result from an interpretation of the ACA or other statutory scheme by the Internal Revenue Service or other federal agency (including, but not limited to, a revenue ruling, regulation or other guidance) or state agency, or a ruling by a court of competent jurisdiction.

Agenda Item 13.

DATE: April 26, 2022
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Yazmin Arellano, Director of Public of Works
SUBJECT: Approve the 2022 El Cajon Active Transportation Plan Final Report RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council adopts the next Resolution, in order, approving the 2022 El Cajon Active Transportation Plan Final Report.

BACKGROUND:

The El Cajon Active Transportation Plan (Plan) combines a comprehensive update of the 2011 Bicycle Master Plan and the development of a new Pedestrian Master Plan. In compliance with the City’s Complete Streets Policy and the Complete Streets Act (AB 1358), new policies were developed to provide a framework for developing the City's bicycle and pedestrian network, making El Cajon eligible for local, State, and Federal Active Transportation funding. The Plan's goal is to build a functional and convenient bicycle and pedestrian network as an integral part of the City's transportation system and make cycling and walking viable options for commuting, shopping, and exercising.

The Active Transportation Plan was developed through an extensive outreach and review process with community input. The proposed system includes the addition of approximately 37 miles of new bikeway facilities, the identification of approximately 74.5 miles of missing sidewalks, and intersection improvements to enhance pedestrian safety. The planned system builds upon existing facilities in the City through enhancements to overall connectivity, additional and enhanced support facilities, and safety programs for residents. The anticipated increase in residents who will choose to ride bicycles or walk offers benefits in health, the environment, and cost savings versus driving. The Plan will endeavor to transform the City of El Cajon into a healthier, greener, and more sustainable community.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT:

The Active Transportation Plan is categorically exempt from environmental review according to State CEQA Guidelines section 15301, as activities such as restriping for bicycle facilities and sidewalk construction involve minor alterations to existing facilities that will result in negligible or no expansion of use.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The development and preparation of the El Cajon Active Transportation Plan were funded with The development and preparation of the El Cajon Active Transportation Plan were funded with a $207,000 SANDAG Smart Growth Incentive Program grant with an in-kind staff time matching fund of $23,000.

Staff Report
2022 Active Transportation Plan
City Council Meeting: April 26, 2022
Background:

The City of El Cajon’s Active Transportation Plan (ATP) focuses on enhancing the safety and comfort of existing pedestrian and bicycle facilities, identifying needed improvements to the system, as well as increasing connectivity to key attracting land uses such as schools, employment centers, retail districts, and recreational facilities. The El Cajon Active Transportation Plan is the combination of a comprehensive update of the 2011 Bicycle Master Plan and development a new Pedestrian Master Plan. In compliance with the City’s Complete Streets Policy and the Complete Streets Act (AB 1358), new policies were developed which provides a framework for the future development of the City's bicycle and pedestrian network and makes the City eligible for local, State, and Federal active transportation funding. The goal of the plan is to build a functional and convenient bicycle and pedestrian network as an integral part of the City's transportation system and to make cycling and walking viable options for commuting, shopping, and exercising.

Existing Conditions:

The identification of existing issues and opportunities relied on the review of infrastructure, land use, demographic, census, and collision data. This information was analyzed and documented the state of existing pedestrian and bicycle demand, network connectivity, facility quality, and user safety in the City. Key constraints that were identified in this process includes gaps in the sidewalk network (i.e. missing sidewalks), gaps in the bicycle network and high speed roadways. The high speed roadways act a s a deterrent for walking and biking due to the discomfort they cause for pedestrians and cyclists. Additionally, locations with high pedestrian and bicycle collisions were identified as well as areas that have a relatively higher propensity for walking and biking.

Community Engagement:

The ATP was developed during the Covid-19 pandemic, resulting in the reliance on digital media engagement methods. Various methods and communication channels, such as an interactive project website, were utilized to reach the El Cajon community members and invite their participation. A total three project stakeholder working group meetings, three community workshops, and one pop -up meeting at a City special event were held to solicit input for this plan.

Project Goals:

The ATP is governed by three overarching goals each shored up by objectives, policies, and performance measures. The Plan’s three goals are as follows:
 Goal 1: To create a circulation system to include all modes of transportation organized to ensure the safe, efficient movement of people and goods.  Goal 2: Reduce vehicle miles traveled by increasing alternative means of transportation
for all trip types within El Cajon including work commute, school commute, errands, and recreation.
 Goal 3: An environment that allows and encourages school-aged children to walk and ride their bicycles to school safely and comfortably.

Recommendations:

A citywide sidewalk inventory process was undertaken as part of the existing conditions analysis. Approximately 74.5 miles of existing missing sidewalks were then reviewed, categorized, and grouped together to form sidewalk infill projects. The sidewalk project groupings are shown in the following figure:

In addition to the sidewalk groupings, intersection crossing enhancements were considered at intersections that experienced three or more collisions over a five-year time period. Nine (9) intersections, shown in the figure below, were identified to install high visibility crosswalks that consists of advance stop bars (limit lines), curb extensions, pedestrian signal timing adjustments, and additional pedestrian signage.

The bicycle network recommendations were developed based upon key findings from the existing conditions analysis and the public engagement activities conducted over the course of the project. These recommendations are intended to create a complete network of context sensitive bicycle facilities that can serve commuter and recreational needs, while also balancing vehicular needs and right-of-way limitations. The bicycle network development process focused on the desire to improve connectivity, create facilities that are comfortable for all riders, and improve safety.

Agenda Report
Agenda Item 14.

DATE: April 26, 2022
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Yazmin Arellano, Director of Public of Works
SUBJECT: Discussion - East County Advanced Water Purification Update Preparation RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council provides feedback on questions or topics to be researched by staff before the May 10, 2022 meeting.

BACKGROUND:

The City of El Cajon (City) is a member agency of the Metropolitan Wastewater Joint Powers Authority (Metro), a coalition of municipalities and special districts that share in the use of the City of San Diego's regional wastewater facilities. All wastewater from the City is transported, treated, and disposed of by Metro facilities.

Since 2014, the City has participated with Padre Dam Municipal Water District (Padre Dam), San Diego County Sanitation District (San Diego County), and Helix Water District (Helix Water) to explore the feasibility of the East County Advanced Water Purification Program (Program).

The Program will divert wastewater flows from Metro and create a new, local, sustainable, and drought-proof drinking water supply by treating wastewater from member agencies. This Program will provide up to 30 percent of East County's drinking water demands while reducing wastewater discharge into the ocean.

On November 5, 2019, the three agencies providing wastewater services, including the City, Padre Dam, and San Diego County Sanitation District (Member Agencies), established the East County Advanced Water Purification Joint Powers Authority (ECAWP JPA) as a separate public entity for the purpose of planning for, designing, constructing, owning, and operating wastewater treatment and advanced water purification facilities (Project). The ECAWP JPA will be the owner and operator of the Program.

Construction of the facilities to implement the Program is anticipated to be completed and fully operational by 2025. Funding for procurement, construction, and commissioning will be provided through state and federal loans, grants, and debt financing issued by the JPA. These funding sources will be secured and repaid through revenue collected for the provision of wastewater services and the sale of treated water produced by the Program after it is operational. Padre Dam will administer and manage the Program development work.

Padre Dam, Program Administrator, will provide a Program update at the May 10, 2022, City Council Meeting. The update will include the latest cost projection and project completion schedule.

Staff would like to request City Council feedback on questions or topics to be researched by staff before the May 10, 2022 meeting.

ORDINANCE NO. 5118

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY

OF EL CAJON, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING FOUR COUNCIL
DISTRICTS FOLLOWING THE 2020 DECENNIAL FEDERAL

CENSUS, AND ADOPTING A NEW MAP DESCRIBING THE

BOUNDARIES OF EACH OF THE DISTRICTS

THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EL CAJON DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1. Section 201 of the El Cajon Charter states that not later than December 31 st of the year following the year in whic h the decennial federal census is taken the City Council shall adopt an ordinance to divide the City into four Council districts.

The 2020 decennial federal census was not published until August 12, 2021, due to delays caused by the COVID -19 pandemic; the federal census data was thereafter adjusted by the California Statewide Database , which was published in its final version on September 27, 2021.

SECTION 2. As a result of delays in publishing the decennial federal census (including delays caused by the adjustments made by the California Statewide Database) the City was unavoidably precluded from meeting the deadline to ad opt the Council district map by December 31, 2021, as required by Section 201 of the Charter . These delays were further compounded by the need to follow new public hearing processes as required by California Elections Code sections 21620 et seq., which were originally added to California law by the Fair and Inclusive Redistricting for Municipalities and Political Subdivisions Act, adopted in 2019 (the "FAIR MAPS Act").

SECTION 3. Following the guidelines established by the FAIR MAPS Act, as well applicable City Council resolutions and Section 201, the City has conducted such public hearings and other proceedings to develop draft maps of Council districts that fully comply with State and federal voting rights laws for consideration by the City Council.

SECTION 4. The City Council makes the following findings:

1. The City of El Cajon has conducted a series of public meetings and held at least four (4) properly noticed and conducted public hearings, each in one of the current Council districts, and all in compliance with the FAIR MAPS Act, specifically: on Wednesday, July 14, 2021, at 6:30 p.m., at the Hillside Recreation Center; on Wednesday, September 8, 2021, at 6:30 p.m., at the Renette Recreation Center; on Thursday, November 4, 2021, at 7:00 p.m., at the Kennedy Recreation Center; and on Saturday, January 22, 2022, at 10:30 a.m., at the El Cajon Valley High School . The first and second meetings (each a p re-draft map hearing) were to obtain public testimony identifying "neighborhoods," "community of interests, " and "secondary areas," as well as to inform the public on the use of mapping tools on the

Page 2 of 4 ends

City’s website in order to assist the public in the drafting of potential Council district maps. The third meeting, following the first submission of maps, was to hold a public hearing to present, discuss, and revise draft maps available for review, and to identify focus maps (i.e., those that the City Council identifies as eligible for a final determination). The fourth and final meeting, at which the City Council held a public hearing to review the focus maps, was to identify a map from that group preferred by the City Council to be approved by this ordinance.

2. During each public hearing and public meeting involved in the process, the City Council encouraged the public to participate and a ssist in the development of Council district maps.

3. The City of El Cajon has provided the public with demographic and voting information, and website tools allowing the public the opportunity to create their own maps for consideration by the City Council. Such information and tools were made available in English, Spanish, Arabic, Somali, Dari, and Pashto, and translators for those languages, if requested, were provided at each public hearing.

4. The El Cajon City Council has listened to and reviewed public testimony and comments, both oral and written, and considered districting plans reflected in a total of thirteen proposed maps (identified as Maps 1 00 through 112). Maps 100 through 112 were created by either the City’s consultants or members of the public.

5. That upon consideration of the staff report and all public testimony presented, both oral and written, the City Council finds that the proposed Council districts reflected in the districting plan in Map 100, as set forth in Exhibit A, comply with the criteria set forth in Chapter 1.18 of the El Cajon Municipal Code; Resolution No. 006 -17; are as equal as practicable in population as shown by the United St ates 2020 Census; were drawn to comply with the federal Voting Rights Act, the California Voting Rights Act, and the FAIR MAPS Act; are geographically contiguous ; were drawn with respect for the geographic integrity of neighborhoods and communities of interest; are easily identifiable and understandable by residents; drawn to encourage compactness, were not drawn for the purposes of favoring or discriminating against any race; and were not drawn for the purpose of favoring or discriminating against an incumbent, political candidate, or political party.

6. Delays in publishing the decennial federal census (including delays caused by the adjustments made by the California Statewide Database), which were further compounded by the need to follow new public hearing processes as required by the FAIR MAPS Act, made it legally impossi ble for the City Council to adopt the Council district map by December 31, 2021,

Page 3 of 4 ends

as required by Section 201 of the Charter. The City Council hereby finds that the deadline established by Section 201 is merely advisory; therefore, the City Council hereby waives any failure to meet the deadline for the Council district map as set forth Section 201.

SECTION 5. The City of El Cajon is hereby divided into four Council districts, and the boundaries of the districts are more particularly depicted in Exhibit A, which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.

SECTION 6. If any section, subsection, sentence, cla use, phrase, or portion of this ordinance is held invalid or unconstitutional for any reason by any court of competent jurisdiction, such portion shall be deemed a separate, distinct, and independent provision and such holding shall not affect the validity of the remaining portion.

SECTION 7. As of the effective date of this ordinance, all ordinances, or parts of ordinances, in conflict herewith are hereby repealed.

SECTION 8 . This ordinance shall go into effect thirty (30) days following its passage and adoption.

SECTION 9. The City Clerk is hereby directed to certify the passage of this ordinance and to cause the same or a summary to be published in a newspaper of general circulation, printed, and published in the City of El Cajon.
