DATE: January 24, 2023
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Michael James, Deputy Director of Public Works - Operations SUBJECT: Declaration of Emergency for Sewer Main Repairs; Authorization to Waive Bidding
RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council:

Adopts the next Resolution, in order, to establish a Declaration of Emergency and determine that the public interest and necessity require the immediate expenditure of public money to safeguard life, health, or property as required by the Public Contract Code section 22050; and

1. Approves $80,000 for repairs in Wastewater Operations to cover the cost of the emergency work.

2. BACKGROUND:

The City owns and operates a diverse collection system that consists of 12 inverted siphons, approximately 200 miles of gravity-flow sewer mains, and 4,260 manholes. These facilities are well-maintained and should not result in sewage overflows or spills. However, the possibility exists that unforeseen accidents, pipeline failure, equipment failure, or other events not controllable by the City could result in sewer overflow or spills. To prevent such incidences, the City implements an Operations and Maintenance Program to have crews routinely inspect sewer pipelines for defects.

While conducting a routine sewer system inspection, Operations staff discovered two failed 8-inch diameter pipelines. The pipeline failure locations are at the intersection of East Lexington Avenue and First Street and 681 Tyrone Street. Existing conditions reveal excessive moisture surrounding the failed pipe sections. Staff concluded that based on the location of the existing pipe failures and excessive rainfall events, it is prudent to move forward with a plan to repair both locations to prevent any sinkholes. The conditions require immediate repairs to protect adjacent public improvements, maintain critical street thoroughfares, and preserve life and safety.

With the risk that existing utilities, street, and sidewalk infrastructure could collapse, the City Manager declared an emergency on Tuesday, January 10, 2023. A contractor (Jimenez Inc. dba MJC Construction) has been procured to perform the repairs.

The work will replace damaged pipelines, backfill voids, and restore surface improvements.

The total cost of the repairs is estimated to be $80,000.

Public Contract Code section 22050 requires that the proposed resolution receives a four-fifths affirmative vote.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Funding in the amount of $80,000 is available through Organization Code 650720 (Wastewater Operations).

WHEREAS, while conducting a routine sewer system inspection, City Operations staff discovered two (2) failed 8- inch diameter pipelines , with excessive moisture surrounding the failed pipe sections, located at the intersection of East Lexington Avenue and First Street and 681 Tyrone Street; and

3. That it hereby finds that there is substantial evidence, as described in this Resolution, as well as presented at this meeting and to be contained in the minutes of this meeting, that the emergency will not permit a delay resulting from a co mpetitive solicitation of bids; that the competitive bidding for this public project must be waived and an open market purchase as provided in El Cajon Municipal Code section 3.20.110 must be performed; and that the City Manager or his designee has complied with all necessary procedures to solicit proposals and to engage Jimenez Inc. dba MJC Construction to perform the emergency work.

Introduction
Fiscal 2022/23 PBID Improvements and Activities Plan
El Cajon PBID Management District Plan
As determined by the Downtown El Cajon Business Partners Management Plan for the existing district, the top priorities for improvements and activities within the El Cajon PBID are Environmental and Economic Enhancements. Based upon this finding , the following improvements and activities were performed and provided in the current fiscal year.

All of the services and activities detailed below are provided only within the boundaries of the PBID and provide special benefit to the properties in the boundary area (see attachment A:

PBID Boundary Map). All benefits derived from the assessments outlined in this Management District Plan go only for services directly benefiting the prope rties in the PBID to increase commerce and fulfill the goals and objectives of the PBID.

ENVIRONMENTAL ENHANCEMENTS
Clean and Safe: These services continue to be the top priority of the stakeholders. The Downtown El Cajon Business Partners has initiated an excellent program that provides a clean environment but also eliminates graffiti and manag es the homeless and transient populations.

The 2022/23 Plan for Clean and Safe;
Deployment and Visibility of Staff
We have developed and deployed a tea m that cleans Monday through Friday throughout the district and is power washing sidewalks and park area. The clean team has a Team member that is also responsible for identifying homeless, graffiti and safety issues in the district and either responds directly or reports to the graffiti online application or the police department for resolution of the issue.

District split into premium and standard zones will remain the same The downtown core (the Premium Zone), those parcels fronting Main and Magnolia are receiving more intense and frequent service delivery where the demand is greater. The remaining parcels in the district (the Standard Zone) do not require the same level of service intensity and frequency as the downtown core.

Deployment of District Security Officers:

Due to the extent of the of the homeless issue tha t we encoun tered we found tha t interacting in a significant way with the El Cajon Police Department was the best way to provide the highe st level of security to our district. This program has resulted in a safer and more secure Downtown area and garnered a high level of coope ration and proactivity to the benefit of the district. We have continued private security patrol seven nights a week from 1 Opm until 6am.

Promotion of Services - Equipment, shirts, vests and collateral material promote the Clean and Safe program currently. We will continue to send regular email commu nications to stakeholders promoting accomplishments and activities, once we have created a comprehensive email data base.

Beautification: Through the Clean & Safe Program, Downtown El Cajon Business Partners has improved the aesthetics of the downtown area by reducing graffiti, cleaning streets, and working effectively with law enforcement to reduce the public nuisance. We have also installed stringer lights to improve the night time aesthetics of the Downtown area. The colored light bulbs are changed four times per year to reflect the season. During the holidays we install wreaths that hang from the light poles and a 35 foot Christmas tree at the corner of Main St and Magnolia Ave. This year a permanent stage was constructed in The Promenade.

ECONOMIC ENHANCEMENTS
A comprehensive economic development program is included as a key componen t of the downtown PBID, to proactively work on filling office and retail vacancies with targeted businesses, combat the c hallenges associated with a prolonged economic downtown, compete with other commercial districts, and bring more visitors and shoppers to Downtown El Cajon.

Business Retention and Recruitment: The PBID will provide on an as-needed basis services for locating open office spaces or buildings for new businesses to lease or purchase and assistance with dealing with the City of El Cajon.

Special Events: The Special Events budget is reserved for opportunities to continue providing existing events downtown, (e.g. the Cajon Classic Cruise or Dinner & a Concert, Holiday Lights on Main), or to contribu te to additional events like HauntFest on Main, America on Main and the Mother Goose Parade. These special events improve commerce by drawing people downtown and introducing them to opportunities to dine, shop, or engage in commerce.
leadership and Policy: The PBID will provide advocacy for Downtown business interests and will help the business community to speak with one clear voice. The PBID Management Plan offers flexibility to develop programs and policies to improve the overall quality of life and economic and cultural vitality of Downtown El Cajon.

MANAGEMENT
We have hired promoter contractors for both the Cajon Classic Cruise and Dinner and a Conce rt on the Promenade. We also use a contracto r to administer the Clean and Safe program. Our managers spend a significant portion of their time producing events and also double as staff members not only managing the work but also crea ting , developing and monitoring the programs they manage. This minimizes administrative hours and ensures the lowe st admin expense possible. The management team is responsible for providing the day-to-day operations of the PBID. PBID funds may be used to leverage additional monies from sponsorships, con tracts, grants and earned income. Additional administrative costs will include; accounting and annual financial audit, insurance, prog ram support costs including supplies, equ ipment and rent, County PBID assessment collection fee, estimated at 1 % of assessments, and other administration costs associated with the overhead and administrative support of programs.

A 10% reserve fund is also budgeted to provide a contingency for unforeseen program needs and to provide a cushion for assessment delinquencies.
2021 /22 Actual Expenses:

Environmental Enhancements $ 272 ,973
Economic Enhancements $ 302,150
Management $ 60,902
TOTAL Expenses $ 636,025
2022/23 Budget
For fiscal 2022/23 there will be no increase in the PBID assessment as allowed in the Downtown Management Plan. The services and allocations are outlined below.

Environmental Enhancements $ 245,000
Economic Enhancements $ 255,000
Management $ 55,000
Reserves $ 10,000
TOTAL BUDGET $ 565,000
Assessments: 2022/23 Annua l assessments are calcu lated based upon each property's specia l benefit received from the identified services and activities and their relative cost.

The assessments are based on lot square footage plus building square footage and whether they are in the Premium or Standard Zone. Properties with residential or non-profit ownership and uses will pay an adjusted rate. These parce ls benefit fully from the Environmen tal Enhancements but not from the Economic Enhancements. The assessment rates per foot for 2022/23 are as follows:

Annual Assessments: Assmt per SQ Foot
Premium Zone:

Commercial/Govt $0.084
Residential/Non-Profits $0.054
Standard Zone:

Commercial/Govt $0.067
Residential/Non-Profits $0.043
Collection: Assessments appear as a separate line item on the annual County of San Diego Property Tax bills and either paid in one lump sum or in two equal installments . As part of the collection process, the County retains 1 % of the assessment funds and the remaining 99% will be distributed to the PBID to provide services .

City Services: The City Council, by accepting this report , confirms its intention to ensure existing level of services in the district equiva lent to the level that is being provided elsewhere in the City.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
Downtown El Cajon Business Partners, Inc.

OFFICE MANAGEll
Tnnya Davi s
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Downtown El Cajon Business Partners, Inc. (a California nonprofit organization), which comprise the statement of financial position as of June 30, 2022, and the related statements of activities, functional expenses, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Downtown El Cajon Business Partners, Inc. as of June 30, 2022, and the changes in its net assets and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Our responsibilities under those standards are fu1ther described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of om repo1t. We are required to be independent of Downtown El Cajon Business Partners, Inc. and to meet our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about Downtown El Cajon Business Partners, lnc.'s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are available to be issued. :u:n Camino D1•l Hio Soulh I Suitt • 2:m I Sun Ih•go, CA IJ210B-:mo8 I P (619) 56:1-01115 I F (619) :i(i:J-9:i!M I W\\'\\ , ('\\~l ' jHl ,(' Otll Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion.

Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than form one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.

In performing an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, we:
• Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of Downtown El Cajon Business Partners, Inc.' internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed. • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements. • Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about Downtown El Cajon Business Partners, lnc.'s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

Report on Summarized Comparative Information
We have previously audited the Downtown El Cajon Business Partners, lnc.'s 2021 financial statements, and we expressed an unmodified opinion on those financial statements in our report dated September 22, 2021. In our opinion, the summarized comparative information presented herein as of and for the year ended June 30, 2021, is consistent, in all material respects, with the audited financial statements from which it has been derived.

7. Revenue Recognition-Property Taxes represent assessments levied against property owners located within the district to provide the special benefits described in Note A2. The assessments are based on the square footage of the building and lots. The tax rates assessed are determined by the location of the real property within the district and the presumed benefits received, with those real properties receiving a greater benefit being charged a higher tax rate. Property tax revenue is recognized in the fiscal year that taxes are levied, provided that the taxes are received within 60 days of the end of the fiscal year. Property taxes received 60 days after year end or later are not considered available as a resource for the current year operations of the district and therefore are not recorded as revenue until collected. For the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, all levied property taxes were received within 60 days of the fiscal year end.

In Lieu Property Tax Payments represent payments received from the City of El Cajon, the County of San Diego and other state and federal governmental agencies on real estate owned by these governmental bodies within the District and that are not normally assessed property taxes on properties owned. The District records as revenue in the fiscal year earned. Any payments received in advance are recorded as deferred revenue until earned.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments-Financial Accounting Standards Board (F ASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures", defines fair value as the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability. The fair value should be calculated based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, not on assumptions specific to the entity.

Cash and Cash Eguivalents, Accounts Receivable, Prepaid Expenses. Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities-The carrying amounts repo1ted on the statement of financial position for these items are a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Claims and Litigation
The District can be named party to claim or legal proceedings arising out of the ordinary course of business.

In connection with its business activities, the District has non-profit directors, officers and entity liability coverage of $1,000,000.

NOTE F-DISTRICT RECERTIFICATION/SIGNIFICANT EVENTS:

The El Cajon City Council adopted a resolution for the recertification of the El Cajon Property and Business Improvement District. The duration of the recertification is 10 years beginning on January 1, 2017. In five years, the Downtown El Cajon Business Partners and downtown property owners will undertake a review of the Management District Plan and PBID programs. Any new or increased assessments that are not consistent with the provisions of the current Management District Plan will require a new mail ballot process.

Management has estimated recertification costs to be as much as $50,000, and is accruing $5,000 per year toward these costs.

NOTE G-FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS:

F ASB ASC Topic 820 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based upon whether the inputs to those valuation techniques reflect assumptions other market participants would use based upon market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs). In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820, the following summarizes the fair value hierarchy:

Level I Inputs- Unadjusted quoted market prices for identical assets and liabilities in an active market that the Company has the ability to access.

Level 2 Inputs- Inputs other than the quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 Inputs-Inputs based on prices or valuation techniques that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurements.

F ASB ASC Topic 820 requires the use of observable market data, when available, in making fair value measurements. When inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurements. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

Agenda Item 7.

DATE: January 24, 2023
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Frank Carson, Director of Parks & Recreation
SUBJECT: America on Main Street 2023
RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council accepts the report and provides feedback.

BACKGROUND:

During the 2022 City Council goal-setting session, it was identified to bring back America on Main Street and host the FoodieFest event within the America on Main Street event. The 2023 America on Main Street event will be hosted on Saturday, May 20, 3:00-8:00 pm in Downtown El Cajon. FoodieFest will be hosted 3:30-6:30 pm with attendees paying a nominal fee for food tasters. El Cajon-based food service vendors will be paid to attend and offer samplings to ticket holders.

As in past America on Main Street events, we are planning on a pre-event with the United States Citizen and Immigration Services (USCIS) for a naturalization ceremony. All rides and activities beyond FoodieFest will be free to attendees. Attractions include airjumps, interactive games, amusement rides, a petting zoo and more. Staff will be working with the Downtown El Cajon Business Partners for entertainment at the Prescott Promenade.

Being that this Saturday is also Armed Forces Day, there will be a patriotic theme to the event along with military-related booths. As in past events, there will be three stages full of diverse entertainment and local artists. The new event logo will be unveiled at City Council on Tuesday, January 24, 2023.

FISCAL IMPACT:

America on Main Street is budgeted for fiscal year 2023.

Agenda Report
Agenda Item 8.

DATE: January 24, 2023
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Frank Carson, Director of Parks & Recreation
SUBJECT: Veterans Memorial Update
RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council accepts the report and provides feedback.

BACKGROUND:

Over the past year, staff has hosted an array of public input opportunities for citizens and stakeholders alike to provide feedback on a new veterans memorial in El Cajon. The current Veterans Memorial in front of the Magnolia may not compliment the venue as it once did when erected on November 11, 2000, nor pay appropriate tribute to the men and women of El Cajon who have served in the Armed Forces. Mid-year 2022, staff received additional direction from City Council to continue meeting with stakeholders and community members to gain input on a new memorial, and to include Space Force in the design.

Staff has hosted or met with the community and stakeholders 24 times, and plans to continue to meet at least twice more as the concept of a new memorial progresses. The veteran-related groups at the Veterans Memorial Hall at 136 North Chambers include the AMVETS, VFW, Marine Corps League Detachment, and Navy Fleet Reserve Association. Staff has met with members of these 501(c)19 Veterans Service non-profits, which tend to be more internally focused. The other Veteran Service non-profit based in El Cajon is the American Legion Post 303. They are more externally focused and have provided the most impactful feedback of all stakeholders.

The American Legion Post 303 agree an ideal site for the Veterans Memorial would be in front of the Public Safety Building at 100 Civic Center Way. Many sites were suggested in discussions, but the 100 Civic Center Way site meets all of their needs and has flags already on display. Members also recommended that the Merchant Marines be included as a seventh branch of the Armed Forces, since they served during World War II. It should be noted that the American Legion Post 303 is also the group responsible for the two existing Veterans Memorials in El Cajon. In addition, the American Legion Post 303 is the only Veteran group to host regular veteran-related events at the Veterans Memorial. Members also recommended incorporation of a First Responder Memorial into the design.

Feedback from the City of El Cajon Veterans Coalition was multi-faceted, and members did not come to an agreement. Some wanted staff to consider Prescott Promenade, others suggested a drive-by design, and others recommended building the memorial in front of the Public Safety Building. Staff will continue to receive input from the Veterans Coalition in 2023 regarding any future design and recommendations.

Staff also received 154 surveys from four public community meetings. Of the responses gathered, 82% said they knew of the current site, 14% said they knew of a second site, and 96% agreed there should be new Veterans Memorial. Other locations recommended during these meetings included the Rea Circle (street) in front of Centennial Plaza, Prescott Promenade, Judson Park near the gazebo, and Parkway Plaza. In a discussion of these sites with American Legion Post 303, they stated for various reasons that they were less ideal. Once feedback is complete, staff will recommend a formal location to City Council, then seek a Request for Proposals/Qualifications for the updated design of the Veterans Memorial.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Fiscal impact will be determined after further evaluation.

Agenda Report
Agenda Item 9.

DATE: January 24, 2023
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Jose Dorado, Housing Manager
SUBJECT: Update on Homeless Programs and Services
RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council receives the homeless programs and services report and, if desired, provides feedback, recommendations, and direction on homeless-related programming and funding.

BACKGROUND:

The purpose of this agenda item is to provide a report on the homeless programs and services that are funded by the City. This report provides a summary of programs and services, outcomes, a program assessment, recommendations and a conclusion.

Summary of Programs and Services
Since January 2020, the City has funded or operated 13 different homeless-related programs or projects, and allocated an estimated $4 million in general, federal, and state funds to support those programs. The programs operated and funded by the City have one of three aims:

Housing homeless individuals (both temporary and permanent housing),1.

Preventing homelessness, or2.

Addressing community impacts as a result of homelessness.3.

The following sections of this report provide updates, funding, and expenditures on these programs, most of which are ongoing. Table I below provides additional information on expenditures and program outcomes in alphabetical order.

A Way Back Home Program
The Salvation Army's (TSA) “A Way Back Home” program reunites homeless individuals in El Cajon with their families by providing assistance with transportation, food and sometimes an overnight stay while en route. The program is also funded with Low and Moderate Income Housing Asset Funds (LMIHAF) of $10,000 annually. This contract was renewed in October 2022.

Acquisition and/or Rehabilitation of Facility Serving the Homeless In May 2021, the City Council allocated the balance of the CDBG-CV funds ($299,307) for assisting in the acquisition and/or rehabilitation of a facility for use as a shelter or navigation center. The goal for these funds is to be leveraged with other available funding sources (potentially with other jurisdictions). However, because 80% of CDBG-CV funds must be expended by May 2023, a portion of the funds were re-allocated to the Emergency (Scatter-Site) Motel Program and monitoring of all CDBG-CV related programs. There is a total of $178,000, with an expenditure deadline of May 2026, remaining that is set aside for the acquisition and/or rehabilitating of a future facility. Until an appropriate facility, operator, and additional funding is identified, these funds will remain in reserve for this purpose.

Crisis House
On November 10, 2020, City Council approved the First Amendment to FY 2020-2021 One Year Action Plan that re-allocated and appropriated $700,000 in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds to assist Crisis House, Inc. in acquiring a new site to serve the community of El Cajon. Crisis House acquired and moved into their new location. In return for the City's assistance, Crisis House is required to serve El Cajon residents for a total of 10 years (expiration year 2031). From 2021 to present, Crisis House continues to provide services to homeless persons and victims of domestic violence in El Cajon. Annual accomplishments for 2021 and 2022 are reflected below in Table I.

East County Homeless Task Force
Since 2019, the City has annually contributed $5,000 from the General Fund to assist in sustaining the East County Homeless Task Force (ECHTF). The ECHTF plays a role in coordinating efforts in the East County region and helping to understand homeless service needs. In addition to financial support, the city manager participates on the organization's steering committee.

El Cajon Homeless Outreach & Flexible Housing Assistance Program In September 2020, the City contracted with Home Start, Inc. to provide a dedicated Homeless Outreach Specialist along with flexible housing assistance funds to help homeless individuals and families in El Cajon. The Outreach Specialist (or Navigator) connects homeless households with services and works to secure permanent housing.

The program is funded by LMIHAF, totaling $200,000 annually. The contract was renewed in September 2022.

Emergency Motel Stays Program
In 2020 and 2021, the City Council awarded $145,000 in CDBG-CV funding to Home Start, Inc. for the provision of an emergency motel voucher program to assist homeless families and individuals with immediate shelter to reduce their risk of exposure and to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and serve as a gateway to permanent housing. The program concluded in 2021, and a new, refined Emergency (Scatter-Site) Motel program was implemented, with a new allocation of CDBG-CV funding.

Emergency Scatter-Site Motel Program
In May 2021, the City Council awarded $400,000 in CDBG-CV funding to Home Start, Inc. for the provision of a refined emergency motel program to assist homeless families and individuals with immediate shelter, to reduce their risk of exposure and to prevent the spread of COVID-19. This program provides emergency motel room vouchers, housing placement and emergency housing assistance for homeless families and individuals impacted by COVID-19 that are housing-focused and housing-ready, with the goal of attaining permanent housing. Staff saw an increase in the need for emergency motel room vouchers from July to December 2022, which resulted in additional CDBG-CV funding provided to Home Start, Inc. in the amount of $99,307. These services will continue through the end of March 2023 as CDBG-CV funds are set to expire.

Emergency Shelter Program
Historically, the City has contracted with the East County Transitional Living Center (ECTLC) to fund the Emergency Shelter Program using CDBG funds, currently totaling $100,000 for FY22-23. This non-faith-based program provides emergency shelter, case management, meals and other services for families and individuals experiencing homelessness.

Additional funding was approved by the City Council in 2020 and 2021, ($185,294 and $75,691) in one-time CDBG-CV funding to increase essential services to assist additional individuals and families experiencing homelessness to reduce their risk of exposure to, and to prevent the spread of, COVID-19. This funding will stay active until the end of March 2023 as the CDBG-CV program is set to expire.

Homeless Outreach Events
Police Department staff previously accompanied homeless service providers twice per month in an effort to make contact and offer assistance to the City's homeless community. On March 2021, the goal for the number of outreach events was increased, now occurring every Friday, as allowed by attendance of police officers. When police officers are unavailable, service providers make an effort to continue with planned monthly outreach events. The City's contribution to this program continues to be two police officers for three hours per event. These costs are funded by the General Fund and vary depending on the amount of outreach events attended.

Neighborhood Quality of Life Team
Between January 2020 and December 2022, the Neighborhood Quality of Life Team (a multi-departmental team) provided 427 clean-up events throughout the City. The team is supported by a contract for cleaning services with Urban Corps. The Neighborhood Quality of Life Team ensures that City's parks, right-of-ways, and drainage channels are clear of debris and trash. In the past six months, the City has removed 224 tons of debris from parks, streets and drainage channels. To date, the City's contractor has removed at least 143.81 tons of debris. Clean-up costs are funded solely by the General Fund.

Outreach Support Services Program
On April 26, 2022, the City Council awarded $155,000 in available CDBG-CV funds to Home Start, Inc. to launch the Outreach Support Services Program. This new program was created to bolster existing outreach efforts during the coronavirus pandemic. This program provides street-based outreach and hosts weekly outreach events for individuals and families experiencing homelessness. These outreach events provide connections to vital resources such as housing, food and employment for homeless families and individuals affected by COVID-19. These services will continue through the end of March 2023 as CDBG-CV funds are set to expire.

Rental Housing/Utility Assistance (COVID-19)
In May 2020, the City Council awarded CDBG-CV funding for a new rent and utility assistance program to assist individuals and families impacted by COVID-19, to keep them from losing their homes and falling into homelessness. A total of $572,362 was awarded to three agencies (CSA San Diego County, Interfaith Shelter Network, and Home Start, Inc.). The City’s funded program concluded in February 2021 with the launch of the State and Federally funded an Emergency Rental and Utility Assistance Program (“ERAP”) overseen by the County of San Diego. The City’s program expenditures were $433,000 and funds were expended from May 2020 to February 2021 assisting 103 households. The ERAP program assisted 5,027 households from March 2021 through April 2022 and total expenditures were over $42 million.

Although no new rent and utility assistance has been identified for those affected by COVID-19 Pandemic, the County will be launching a "shallow" rent subsidy program for seniors and is scheduled to launch its application process by the end of January with program subsidies to begin later in Spring.

Rotational Shelter Program
Historically, the City has awarded funding to the Interfaith Shelter Network's (ISN) Rotational Shelter Program using CDBG funds typically totaling $10,000. This program typically provides seasonal, nighttime shelter for homeless individuals and families at East County area places of worship that volunteer to provide shelter, meals and support.

With COVID-19, the rotational shelter program was required to modify its operations in 2020 to accommodate shelter guests at area motels instead of on religious properties, in order to ensure the safety of the volunteers and congregants. ISN returned to its typical rotational shelter model in FY 22-23 and will resume using this model in January 2023.

ISN was awarded $10,893 as part of the FY 22-23 CDBG allocation.

Program Outcomes
Over the last 3 years, the City has allocated nearly $3.59 million to direct homeless assistance/housing programs, over $445,157 on neighborhood clean-up efforts, and $20,000 to the East County Homeless Task Force, for a total of about $4 million.

Between January 2020 and December 2022, staff estimate that more than 5,815 individuals have received services, 3,148 of those were assisted with some form of housing or shelter, and 956 individuals were assisted into permanent housing.

Table I below identifies the total expenditures of $3,207,660 between January 2020 and December 2022 (a total of 36 months) for each program discussed above, and the results of those expenditures.

Program Assessment
The staff believe that the majority of the City's programs are functioning well to help achieve the goal of securing permanent housing for those experiencing homelessness and to address community impacts as a result of homelessness. In the last 3 years, over 950 persons have been assisted with finding permanent housing.

The El Cajon Outreach & Flexible Housing Assistance Program has become an essential component of the City’s ability to respond to homelessness. Home Start, Inc. has proven to be a valuable partner and player in the region, with knowledgeable staff and responsive services to meet the needs. Home Start, Inc. appears to be effective at finding resources, establishing and maintaining relationships, utilizing the resources prudently and only as needed, and meeting the compliance and program requirements of all of its funding partners.

The A Way Back Home Program has seen an increase in the number of homeless individuals served, compared to past reports. It continues to fill a gap in services for those homeless individuals who have family members that are willing to receive and support them. Without this program, homeless individuals who want to “go home” would be without resources to connect with those family members who are willing to receive them, particularly due to the high cost of transportation.

The Emergency Shelter (through ECTLC) and the Rotational Shelter (through the Interfaith Shelter Network) programs continue to address the need for basic overnight shelter and services for those experiencing homelessness in the City. Each fulfills a different need in the community and staff consider the programs cost-effective and essential.

The Emergency (Scatter-Site) Motel program has been underway with additional funding for about three months now with a new allocation of CDBG-CV funding, as described above. Although a new allocation, Home Start, Inc. continues to utilize other available funds for this service. This extends the benefits of the services as far as possible in the community. The program assists individuals and families on a path to securing permanent housing.

The new Outreach Support Service program has been active for about six months with an allocation of CDBG-CV funding, as described above. Home Start, Inc. continues to work to enroll individuals under this program to ensure they are connected with vital resources in their community that will assist them in securing permanent or bridge housing. This program provides a pop-up event each week and serves to connect homeless individuals to other programs available through Home Start, Inc. and throughout San Diego County.

The City’s Neighborhood Quality of Life Team and the Homeless Outreach Events continue to perform vital services and address community impacts as a result of homelessness within the City, and will be continued throughout 2023.

Staff is also continuing to work with neighboring jurisdictions (including the County) through the MOU process on a regional approach to jointly address homelessness in East County. Staff will return to City Council once a project or facility serving the homeless is identified. The MOU, as described above, has been fully approved and executed by all interested parties.

Finally, staff will continue to monitor and report on the performance by Crisis House and the services provided to El Cajon homeless residents and victims of domestic violence.

Recommendations
Staff makes the following recommendations:

Continue the El Cajon Homeless Outreach & Flexible Housing Assistance and the A Way Back Home programs;

1. Continue the Emergency Shelter, Rotational Shelter, Emergency (Scatter-Site) Motel program and the Outreach Support Services program;

2. Continue to work with neighboring jurisdictions, including the County, on a regional approach to jointly addressing homelessness in East County;

3. Continue the Homeless Outreach Events and the enhanced Neighborhood Quality of Life Team efforts;

4. Continue support for the East County Homeless Task Force; and5.

Continue to monitor Crisis House during their contract performance period through 2031 to serve El Cajon residents.

6. Conclusion
Staff will continue to monitor program performance and determine if additional funding is available at the close of the 2022-2023 fiscal year to potentially increase funding for successful programs that address the current needs of the community. Although CDBG-CV funding will no longer be available after the end of FY 22-23, new funding sources from State (HCD) via the Permanent Local Housing Allocation Program and Federal (HUD) HOME-American Rescue Plan funding will be made available for eligible programs and projects and will be incorporated into the new City Budget for FY 2023-24.

At this time, staff asks the City Council to accept the report and provide any feedback, recommendations, and direction on homeless programming and funding.

Agenda Report
Agenda Item 10.

DATE: January 24, 2023
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Dave Richards, Assistant to the City Manager
SUBJECT: Nurse Navigator Program Status Update
RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council receives and files the report.

BACKGROUND:

On January 31, the City of El Cajon, in conjunction with American Medical Response (AMR), will launch the El Cajon Community Care program. This innovative program will provide non-life threatening 9-1-1 callers with the option to speak with a Nurse Navigator to help customize the appropriate medical care for the caller’s specialized medical needs.

Residents will see no change when calling 9-1-1 for life-threatening emergencies. An ambulance will still be dispatched when calls are received for urgent, life-threatening, or potentially life-threatening emergencies.

If a condition is determined to not be a medical emergency, callers will be transferred to a “Nurse Navigator” to determine an appropriate path for treatment and assist in coordinating access to care. This program gets El Cajon residents to the right level of care for their needs, which might include a referral to urgent care, a local clinic, or telehealth appointment. There is no cost to the caller to access the Nurse Navigator services.

Nurse Navigators are California state licensed nurses with professional experience in emergency nursing. They are specially trained to manage medical calls. After initial evaluation of the medical caller’s needs, the nurses can connect callers to clinics in El Cajon and the surrounding area and arrange transportation to and from the appointments. Nurse Navigators can also connect callers directly to telehealth physicians who can provide care and prescribe medication if necessary.

With the launch of the El Cajon Community Care program, the City becomes the first City in California and one of only a handful of agencies across ten states to integrate a Nurse Navigator into 9-1-1 systems. The Nurse Navigator integration alleviates strain on emergency medical and healthcare systems while ensuring high and low acuity calls reach the most appropriate level of care.

Approximately 16,000 9-1-1 calls are made for medical emergencies annually in El Cajon, one-third of which are considered non-emergency. In March of 2022, the City Council set aside $300,000 to fund a one-year pilot period for the El Cajon Community Care program.

On January 17, the City and AMR began its public education campaign for the program. This outreach campaign includes social media materials, newsletter articles, press release and media advisories with access to b-roll videos, and local and national targeted media outreach.

The materials also include posters, flyers and informational business cards in English, Spanish and Arabic. A program flyer has been included with this staff report for reference.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact associated with this report.

You should not cal l 911 for minor illnesses or inju ries, for example, a cold, a minor cut or for a routine medical ma
tter that can be addressed through an appointment with a primary care physician.

Will Emergency Medical Services (EMS) providers still respond and transpo rt me to a hospital if I call 911?
If your condition is an urgent, life-threatening or potentially life-threatening emergency, the 911 center will dispatch an EMS ambulance where first responders will assess your symptoms, and possibly transport you to the hospital directly.

If your condition is not a medical emergency, you may be transferred to the El Cajon Community Care Program and the Nurse Navigators will assess your symptoms and determine the most appropriate medical care for your condition.

EL CAJON COMMUNITY CARE PROGRAM
El Cajon, in c
ollaboration with American Medical Response, is launching an innovative program to provide residents with a variety of options for quickly reaching the appropriate level of medical care when calling 911.

Based on the description of your symptoms, you may be transferred to a Nurse Navigator who will work with you to determine an appropriate path for treatment and assist in coordinating that care.

What is the El Cajon Community Ca
re Program?
The El Cajon Community Care program gets you to the right level of care, which may or may not incl ude transportation to a hospital emergency department. 911 calls with non-emergency injuries or illnesses may be transferred to a Nurse Navigator who can assess your symptoms and refer you to the most appropriate medical care. This care could include referral to a local clinic or urgent care.

When should I call 911?
You should only call 911 for a serious medical emergency that you believe is life- threatening or t hat may be or become life-threatening, for example:

How will it be determined whether I will be transferred to El Cajon Community Care? The 911 operator will evaluate your condition by using industry best practice medical protocols and questions to thoroughly evaluate your medical symptoms. The results of that protocol-driven evaluation of your specific medical symptoms will determine the best course of care for you.

How will a determination be made about which medical clinic I will be referred to? The Nurse Navigator will connect you to the most appropriate level of care available, taking into account your existing primary care provider (if any), the location where you last received care, your location, the time of day and the availability of healthcare providers.

Will the nurse schedule a clinic appointment for me at the medical center at a predetermined time? Will the staff know when I will arrive and why?
Each clinic has walk-in appointments that will be available for El Cajon Community Care patients. The Nurse Navigator will notify the clinic that you are on your way, provide your estimated time of arrival and the reason(s) you are seeking medical care. Upon your arrival, you will be seen as soon as possible.

Will the medical providers be able to prescribe medication during my visit? Yes, the selected medical providers will be licensed and able to prescribe medications for treatment.

Should I call 911 to schedule any follow-up or future appointments at the medical clinic in which I was seen?
No. You should schedule all follow-up medical appointments directly with the medical clinic in which you were seen, and where you are now a registered patient, or with any other non-emergency healthcare facilities that the clinic may refer you to.

What happens if the nurse at the El Cajon Community Care Program determines that my condition warrants transport to a hospital emergency department?
Nurse Navigators with the El Cajon Community Care Program should only receive calls that would typically be best handled in a non-emergency healthcare environment as opposed to a hospital emergency room setting. However, if the Nurse Navigator determines that your condition is of an urgent or emergency nature that should best be treated at a hospital or that you should be assessed by EMS first responders, we will immediately dispatch an EMS ambulance to you.

What are the qualifications of the Nurse Navigators?
The Nurse Navigators are licensed Registered Nurses by the State of California and have professional experience in emergency nursing. They are also specially trained in the practice of telephone evaluation.

If I talk to the nurse and still want to be transported to the hospital by ambulance, what happens then? The Nurse Navigator will work with you to determine the most appropriate level of care for you. If during that process you or the nurse determines that an ambulance is needed then one will be dispatched.

For more information, contact the El Cajon Community Care Patient Information Line at 855.443.6945.

City Council
Agenda Report
Agenda Item 11.

DATE: January 24, 2023
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Clay Schoen, Director of Finance
SUBJECT: 2022 Annual Pension Status Report
RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council receives the Annual Pension Status report.

BACKGROUND:

In October 2020, the City Council adopted the City of El Cajon Pension Funding Policy. One of the requirements of this policy is a review of the status of the City’s retirement benefit plans.

Specifically, the policy states:

Addressing retirement costs is a dynamic process. CalPERS makes adjustments annually to a City’s Normal Cost and Unfunded Accrued Liability (UAL). These changes require multi-year financial planning and for the City to make corresponding budgetary adjustments. The City shall therefore evaluate its pension liabilities each year.

After the release of the most current CalPERS actuarial report, staff shall present a summary of each plan’s funding status. New amortization levels shall be specifically addressed. This information shall be presented during a public City Council meeting, which shall include a summary of funding status, funding progress compared to prior years, as well as any recommended actions and/or budget adjustments to address areas of concern.

The City recently received updated actuarial valuations for each of its benefit plans (Safety and Miscellaneous) administered by CalPERS. As a result, an Annual Pension Status Report was prepared using this updated information, and is attached to this report. These actuarial valuations were completed as of June 30, 2021.

This set of actuarial valuations are the first issued since the City’s issuance of $147.2 million of pension obligation bonds in the spring of 2021. This had a massive impact on funding status by significantly increasing plan assets. It is imperative that the outstanding bond obligations be taken into consideration when evaluating the funding status of the City’s retirement benefit plans. As of June 30, 2021, the outstanding bond principal totaled $147.2 million.

CalPERS experienced higher than ordinary investment performance in 2021. CalPERS investment target at that time was 7.0%, and exceeded this target with returns of 21.3% for that year. This significantly increased plan assets, and largely eliminated the unfunded liability.

The CalPERS Asset Liability Management program includes an action triggered by high investment returns that “automatically” reduces the discount rate. The CalPERS board ratified this action and directed a reduction in the discount rate from 7.0% to 6.8%. This had the effect of increasing the plans’ liabilities. This change is included in the 06/30/2021 actuarial valuations of both plans.

As a result of these actions, in addition to routine contribution and benefit payment activity, the combined unfunded liability dropped to $23.7 million from the previous measure of $225.6 million. Combined with the $147.2 million of outstanding bond principal, the net liability of the City’s retirement benefit obligations is approximately $170.9 million.

However, as good as this news is, investment performance for Fiscal Year 2022 fell far short of the new 6.8% investment target. Results for the year were a disappointing -6.1%. The total plan assets of $615.0 million (as of 06/30/2021), would have generated approximately $41.8 million had the target been met. Instead, these assets lost an estimated $37.5 million during the year.

The combined shortfall of $79.3 million will be reflected in the 06/30/2022 actuarial valuations due in the fall of 2023.

As part of this discussion, it was also contemplated that action may be required to address any issues raised. Specifically, the Policy states:

The City seeks to maintain adequate levels of reserves in accordance with its stated reserve goals and adopted reserve policies. To the extent that the City has excess reserves, generates an operating surplus, generates savings from other pension related strategies, or receives significant one-time revenues, the City shall endeavor to apply a portion of such monies toward its unfunded retirement costs in the form of either Additional Discretionary Payments to CalPERS directly, or deposit funds in either a designated reserve or in its PARS Sec 115 Trust.

Given the impact of the investment shortfalls subsequent to the most recent valuation will not be enumerated until future valuations, no action is recommended until new valuations are available and this report returns for consideration in the fall of 2023.

As an additional matter, in the fall of 2021, City Council authorized the transfer of the available balance of the General Fund Reserve for Unfunded Retirement Obligations to be placed fully in the irrevocable Public Agency Retirement Services (PARS) Section 115 Trust. This action would have transferred an additional $6.0 million to the Trust. However, in light of eroding investment market, this transfer was not made in order to protect these resources. During Fiscal Year 2022, cash resources under City management maintained positive investment returns, while PARS experienced a loss of 10.6%.

In a healthier economic environment, the use of a PARS trust generally allows for greater investment returns. When conditions improve, the transfer of additional assets to the Trust will be evaluated, and submitted to the City Council for consideration.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no direct fiscal impact as a result of the recommended action. The status of the City’s pension plans has been a significant influence on City finances for many years and maintaining focus on this issue remains critical to the City’s continued financial health.
