Agenda Report
Agenda Item 11.
DATE: September 27, 2022
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Yazmin Arellano, Director of Public of Works
SUBJECT: Update on Potential Annual Sewer Charge Postponement Program RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council receives the report and staff recommendation and provides direction to staff on whether to proceed with drafting guidelines for a City-run program for the postponement of annual sewer charges for qualified property owners.
BACKGROUND:
At the suggestion of Jordan Marks, County of San Diego Taxpayer Advocate, City Council directed staff to research the State Controller's Property Tax Postponement program (PTP) and to decide whether the City of El Cajon should implement and manage a similar program. This potential program would mimic the State Controller's PTP allowing homeowners meeting specific criteria to postpone annual sewer charges.
The City Council had specific questions regarding a City run program mimicking the State Controller's PTP, as outlined and answered, in short, below:
How would this program be actively promoted? The City could advertise the State PTP (the ability to do so has been confirmed with the State Controller’s Office) and a similar El Cajon program with the annual Single-Family Residential sewer notices, on the City website, and also by providing printed copies of State PTP handouts in the City Hall lobby.
1. Who would qualify applicants (for the potential El Cajon program)? Public Works staff would review applications, then recommend City Council approve the qualifying list and associated liens.
2. Who would monitor any awardees for annual compliance with income and equity requirements (for the potential El Cajon program)? Public Works staff would continue to require re-application each year. The City Council is the final action to certify the approval or denial of applicants and any associated liens.
3. Does the state program cover all items on a property tax bill, making this already covered? Yes. The State PTP program makes full payment of the property tax invoice to the County on behalf of an approved applicant, which would include any El Cajon sewer charges. This makes the State PTP the best program for eligible homeowners to apply for and makes a City program only necessary if State funding is short in a given year.
4. Would the City file a lien against the property? Yes, any postponement of sewer5.
Would the City file a lien against the property? Yes, any postponement of sewer charges would be secured with a property lien. A lien is the most effective way to ensure potential repayment. It would mainly only interfere with property transactions (reverse mortgage, property sale/transfer) that could threaten the ability to collect on the deferred charges.
5. If filed by the City, is the City’s lien subordinate to any other lien on the collateral? Potentially, an eligible party should have sufficient equity confirmed each year to minimize the potential for this issue.
6. What about limited equity in mobile homes or manufactured homes? The majority of (if not all) owners of mobile/manufactured homes on leasehold land in El Cajon are not individually directly billed for sewer charges; the Home Owner Association (HOA) associated with the property is billed annually by El Cajon. A lien would be recorded against real property, not a situation where a mobile/manufactured home is subject to a land lease. Property is the most fiscally secure collateral. The State does have allowances for homeowners with a leasehold interest, but it is a complicated issue that the State is better equipped to track and enforce.
7. Would the interest rate be the same 5% as the state program? The interest rate could be a simple 5% or fluctuate annually based on standard industry factors (CPI, for example). Potential administrative fees for a City program could be $250-$300/account/year, which would present a challenge. Estimated fees include the cost of lien recording and other program administration processes, including reviewing and approving application documentation.
8. More on the State Controller's Property Tax Postponement (PTP) Program The current PTP program began to make postponements in fiscal year 2017 and is administered by the State Controller’s Office (SCO). The State website for PTP information, including the eligibility requirements and program application, is www.sco.ca.gov/ardtax_prop_tax_postponement.html. The PTP is essentially a deferred loan program in which the State makes full payment of an eligible property owner's tax bill, places a corresponding lien on the property (or security agreement in special cases), and creates an account that accrues simple annual interest until the full balance is paid off. Full payment of the property tax bill means that the State's PTP program also covers the City of El Cajon's annual sewer charges.
In the current fiscal year, the SCO reported $10 million available to eligible property owners under the PTP. The PTP is currently self-funded with the repayments of existing PTP loans. Of the approximately 1,300 - 1,550 annual applicants, the SCO has approved over 1,100 in each of the last two years, with no funding shortages since the PTP's inception. To be eligible for the PTP, a property owner must, at least:
Be at least 62, blind, or have a disability;
Own and occupy the home as their primary residence;
Have a total household income of $45,810 or less;
Have at least 40% equity in the property; and
Have no reverse mortgage on the property.
Property owners must apply from October 1 through February 10 each year. The SCO noted that applications are reviewed in the order they are received and, depending on the number of applications received, approval or denial notifications are sent within 6-8 weeks. • • • •
•
The SCO allows full or partial payments at any time, but the total postponed balance, including interest, is due when a homeowner does any of the following:
Moves from the property;
Sells or conveys title to the property;
Dies and does not have a spouse, registered domestic partner, or another qualified individual who continues to reside on the property;
Allows future property taxes or other senior liens to become delinquent; or Refinances or obtains a reverse mortgage for the property.
Limitations to Potential City Program
1. Funding
Staff estimates administrative costs to be about $250-$300 for each application. These costs include a lien recording fee and staff time to review the application and pertinent documentation that would be required each year. Staff believes it would be cost-prohibitive to recuperate these costs as fees against the deferred annual sewer charges, which average to only about $500-$800. These costs also could not be subsidized by the Wastewater Fund due to Proposition 218 limitations restricting the use of wastewater funds for any program that is only applicable to a subset of ratepayers. A program could potentially be financed and partially or fully subsidized through the General Fund.
2. Timing
Homeowners can apply for the State PTP from October 1 through February 10 each year. This application period falls after the City reports annual sewer charges to the County to be included on the tax bill. If the City created a program that matched the State PTP, a homeowner eligible for the postponement of City annual sewer charges would also be eligible for the State PTP. To create a more streamlined procedure for a City program, applications could be restricted to acceptance based on receipt of the homeowner's letter from the State showing eligibility, but denial of tax postponement due to the State being short on funding in a specific fiscal year.
Recommendation
Staff recommends promoting and directing homeowners to apply for the State Controller's Property Tax Postponement Program and not have the City implement a similar program as the State Controller's PTP Program has never run into a funding shortage since its creation.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None at this time.

Agenda Report
Agenda Item 12.
DATE: September 27, 2022
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Dave Richards, Assistant to the City Manager
SUBJECT: Update on The Magnolia's Financial Performance RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council receives an update on The Magnolia’s financial performance.
BACKGROUND:
The purpose of this agenda item is to provide a brief update on The Magnolia’s financial performance since its opening in September 2019. As a reminder, The Magnolia (previously named the East County Performing Arts Center or ECPAC) closed its doors in 2009 due to the Great Recession and the cost to operate the facility. Prior to its closure, ECPAC had operated under several management models. Just prior to its closing, ECPAC cost the City approximately $600,000 annually to operate.
In 2005, the City entered a management agreement with Art Beat Management, a subsidiary of the Christian Youth Theater, to operate ECPAC. The agreement included a target to provide ten headline acts per year but the agreement was amended shortly after to exclude the target. Art Beat cited the cost of attracting headline acts and inability to compete with local casino concert ticket prices as the reasons for removing the target from the agreement.
In 2017, the City began negotiating a management agreement with Live Nation to operate the venue. In February 2019, the management agreement was signed, and with Live Nation’s collaboration and guidance, significant renovations to the building commenced. Under the agreement, it was anticipated that the venue would operate with a negative cash flow for the first five-years.
Rebranded The Magnolia, the facility hosted its first event after a decade of being closed in September 2019. During the first six months, the Magnolia hosted 42 events. In March 2020, state and county Covid-19 regulations abruptly forced Live Nation to cancel all of The Magnolia’s shows and close its doors to the public. In September 2021, after nineteen consecutive months of sitting dark, The Magnolia reopened under the State’s safe reopening guidelines.
The Management agreement with Live Nation includes goals for the number of events hosted and Adjusted Operating Income (Show revenue – show costs and fixed expenses = AOI) at The Magnolia. Despite the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, Live Nation exceeded both of these targets in Fiscal Year 2021-22 (FY 21-22).
This graph shows the actual and target number of events by contract year at the Magnolia. The 4th year includes an estimate for the first half of the Fiscal Year. This number is almost certain to exceed the 4th year contract target.
When the management contract with Live Nation was negotiated, the venue was expected to operate with a negative AOI for the first five years. Since its second reopening in September 2021, The Magnolia has outperformed the contract pro forma by nearly $600,000. In fact, the facility operated in the green in FY 21-22 with a positive AOI of nearly $300,000.

As part of the City’s Management Agreement with Live Nation, the City pays a Management Fee of $375,000 annually. In addition, the City pays about $250,000 annually in utility and facility maintenance expenses. When added to The Magnolia’s AOI, the City’s net expense for The Magnolia in FY 21-22 was roughly $350,000. This net operating expense is significantly lower than initial projections and far exceeds the number of public shows and attendees under prior operating models. The following chart shows the City’s net position after City expenses.
In summary, The Magnolia has exceeded all prior financial and performance expectations. In FY 21-22, The Magnolia attracted 32,175 guests to the heart of El Cajon, not including rentals of the venue, pumping economic vitality into the downtown area. Since its opening, staff estimates that the Magnolia has hosted 68,522 visitors. Based on a heat map of attendees, the venue is truly a regional hub of entertainment.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There are no fiscal impacts associated with this report.

Agenda Report
Agenda Item 13.
DATE: September 27, 2022
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Graham Mitchell, City Manager
SUBJECT: Update on County of San Diego's Motel Voucher Program and City of El Cajon's Response
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council receives the report and appoints two members of the City Council to serve on a subcommittee to assist in drafting regulatory policy for motels operating with homeless vouchers.
BACKGROUND:
On September 12, 2022, staff informed the City Council of its discovery that seven motels in El Cajon were operating as de facto homeless shelters with between 22% and 100% of their occupants using homeless motel vouchers. Of grave concern was the prevalence of vouchers from one San Diego County contractor--Equus. A survey conducted on September 11, 2022 found that the County had placed 158 individuals into El Cajan motels with vouchers over that particular weekend. Staff also noticed that this heavy concentration of individuals, without the proper operation of a homeless shelter, created challenges such as crime, open drug usage, and illegal encampments.
This agenda item provides an update of research conducted regarding the impacts of the County's motel voucher program on El Cajon and what actions staff has taken to mitigate challenges caused by the program. During the presentation, staff will provide crime and EMS calls for service data, point-in-time count data, and a review of efforts taken by the City to protect residents of El Cajon.
Since discovering the heavy use of El Cajon motels for the County's vouchers, staff has initiated the four actions below.
Motels in Violation - on September 16, 2022, staff sent seven motel operators notices of violation. The "warning notice" informed motels that they were in violation of El Cajon Municipal Code 17.145.150 "Commercial Land Use" and that they needed to reduce the number of vouchers to 15% of their total motel rooms. This notice resulted in meetings between each motel operator and City staff. Motel operators suggested that County staff also attend; however, County staff declined the invitation to participate. Staff held back on issuing any fines until solutions could be developed. Outcomes of the motel meetings will be shared during the agenda item presentation.
Information from the County - on September 14, 2022, staff met with County staff to better understand the voucher program and the rationale for the heavy use of El Cajon motels--El Cajon makes up 8 of the 18 participating motels (this equates to 44% of the program). County staff asked that the City provide questions in writing. The questions sent to the County on September 14, 2022 at 9:20 PM were:
May I see the data sources (redacted of personal information) for a six-month period of those that were served by Equus and placed in El Cajon motels? Specifically, I am interested in when they arrived, how long they have stayed, where they most recently experienced homelessness and for how long, and where they last had permanent housing.
1. What are the variety of funding sources being used by the County to fund the motel voucher program administered through Equus? I know that you fund other programs, but I am primarily interested in this contract since Equus makes up the majority of County vouchers being used in El Cajon.
2. Assuming the figures are accurate in the press release released by Nathan Fletcher and Joel Anderson (by the way, which I find odd and highly political), there are 85 individuals using motel vouchers in El Cajon that are from outside the City. Based on the last point-in-time count, El Cajon has the highest homeless population per capita AND the most shelter spaces in the County. Also, El Cajon has some of the highest pockets of poverty and highest concentrations of immigrants in the County. Given these socio-economic disadvantages in El Cajon, please explain the rationale or the equity of placing more homeless in a city already with high concentrations of homeless? One could surmise why, but I would greatly appreciate an explanation from the County.
3. I am looking more into the details, but the El Cajon Police Department recently arrested a voucher participant who was dealing drugs. The individual was booked, but because of Sheriff’s Department policy, the individual was not held in custody. Our officers encountered him several days later at a different El Cajon motel using motel vouchers.
Equus would not know that he had been arrested. However, if the City knew of someone like this, would the voucher for this individual be revoked or would he be allowed to continue in the program?
4. The following day, City staff emailed the following question because of inquiries made to the City: City Hall has been barraged with folks calling us about a tweet from Supervisor Anderson that says, 64% of those receiving vouchers “are from El Cajon (including the unincorporated area)” (see image of the tweet below). I assume the Supervisor was provided this figure by County staff. I would like to know of the 64%, how many of these are from unincorporated areas?
YES!
64% are from El Cajon
(including the unincorporated area).
94% are from East County
Law Enforcement Detail - after gathering intelligence and developing a strategy, the El Cajon Police Department initiated a saturation detail that focused on criminal activity around the areas experiencing spikes in crime. Between September 20th and September 23rd, the Police Department made many arrests related to the County's motel voucher program. During the presentation, staff will provide details of those arrests.
Planning Commission - on September 20, 2022, the El Cajon Planning Commission unanimously adopted a resolution of intent initiating an amendment to the Zoning Code to redefine lodging establishments, allowed uses, and certain performance standards (Planning Commission Resolution attached). Staff recognizes that there are various policy strategies the City Council could consider. Staff recommends that the City Council appoint two members of the City Council to work with staff and explore the various options and then present a recommendation to the full City Council for consideration.
