A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EL CAJON

SYSTEM REPAIRS AT AND AROUND GRANITE HILLS DRIVE
WHEREAS, the El Cajon City Council ("City Council") is authorized under section 8630 of the California Government Code to proclaim the existence of a local emergency when conditions exist within the jurisdiction of the City of El Cajon (the "City") which pose an extreme peril to public health, safety and life; and

Agenda Item 6.
DATE: April 25, 2023
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Morgan Foley, City Attorney
SUBJECT: Adoption of New Fees; Modification and Elimination of Existing Fees; and Amendment of Schedule of Miscellaneous Fees
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council:
Opens the Public Hearing and receives testimony;1.
Closes the Public Hearing; and2.
Adopts the next Resolution, in order, to modify certain existing fees, add and delete certain fees, and amend the City’s Schedule of Miscellaneous Fees.
3. BACKGROUND:
City of El Cajon staff annually reviews existing fees and charges, and if needed, proposes changes to the City's Schedule of Miscellaneous Fees (the "Fee Schedule") based on the reasonable anticipation of actual costs to provide City services. The current Fee Schedule was most recently amended by Resolution No. 033-22 on April 26, 2022.
The following generally describes changes in fees recommended by the City Clerk's Office ("City Clerk"); the Building Safety ("Building"), Housing ("Housing"), and Planning ("Planning") divisions of Community Development; the Fire Department ("Fire"); the Parks and Recreation Department ("Parks and Recreation"); and the Public Works Department ("Public Works"). If approved at this meeting, all fees will take effect on July 1, 2023, sixty-six (66) days following adoption.
The City Clerk's office has requested an increase in the Public Hearing fees to recover costs of staff time and preparation.
The Community Development Department is proposing the following changes to the City's Fee Schedule for these divisions:
Building Safety – Updated Building valuations are proposed to be consistent with current 2022 valuation multipliers of the International Code Council San Diego Chapter. A new fee category is also proposed for implementing a self-certification process for water heaters, re-roofs and air conditioning unit installations. This new self-certification process will help homeowners and contractors save time by eliminating the need for the homeowner or licensed contractor to be present for a City inspection, thereby avoiding a greater fee with inspections. The licensed contractor (or other licensed individual such as an architect or engineer) will certify that the work .!!!!_ Valley of opportunity

C'o ~ '\.o,
"'Poratel\
is completed, ensuring compliance with Building Codes and manufacturer’s specifications.
Upon completion of the work the self-certification form is completed and uploaded to EnerGov (PACO), and Building Safety staff will review the form for final approval.
Housing – Housing staff, in concert with the City Attorney’s Office, prepares affordable housing agreements to ensure affordable units are developed and maintained throughout the affordability period. Fees for these agreements are proposed as a deposit; $5,000 for non-public hearing, and $10,000 for public hearing. Staff must also monitor rental units during the affordability period when a developer receives approval for a deed-restricted affordable housing project. A monitoring fee is proposed to offset staff time that includes records management; tenant income and rent verification; and property inspections.
Planning – Planning entitlement application and development fees are based on the staff cost to process, which (in many cases) are significantly less than the actual cost – on an average of more than 35%. However, where appropriate and applicable, application fees have been only incrementally increased. This year, Planning is recommending fee increases of no more than 5% for most planning entitlements where full cost recovery is not achieved. A new fee is also proposed for expedited processing of a Temporary Use Permit when received less than two weeks prior to a planned event.
The proposed updates to Fire fees are requested to align the City’s fees with the 2022 California Fire Code ("CFC") which was adopted in November 2022, and became effective in January 2023. The newly adopted CFC fees have been added to the City’s Fee Schedule, and those no longer included in the CFC are being deleted. The recommended fee changes will bring the City's fees more in line with similar fees already in place. Fire staff has also suggested some simplification and clarification of fee descriptions to more closely align with the CFC. In addition, new fees for fire alarm system and fire sprinkler heads for every additional 25 heads in excess of 75 are proposed with the intent to capture costs associated with reviewing plans and conducting inspections. It is not uncommon for Fire to review plans and conduct inspections for jobs that have hundreds of devices or heads, and currently we do not accurately assess fees for those.
Parks and Recreation has proposed minor increases due to rising costs of staff necessary to set up for events at the Ronald Reagan Community Center, and audio-visual equipment, including additional time to set up new, more advanced projectors and screens.
Public Works Operations staff is requesting a 25% increase in the Sewer Wet Tap fee in order to update staff’s fully burdened hourly rate and cost increases for necessary supplies and materials to perform this work. No other changes are proposed by Public Works.
In calculating the revised fees, except in those cases where (1) the fee is changed due to the terms of a contract with a third party for the provision of services, and (2) the changes in the fee are the result of new federal or state requirements, the changes are based on the amount of time spent by each personnel classification to accomplish the activity for which the fee applies, multiplied by the fully burdened hourly rate for the classification.
Data indicating the amount of cost, or estimated cost, of providing the services for which the fee or service charge is levied, and the source of all revenues anticipated to provide the services, to the extent required, is available for review in the City Clerk’s office.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT:
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT:
The proposed changes to the City’s Schedule of Miscellaneous Fees are not subject to the requirements of CEQA pursuant to section 15273(a), Rates, Tolls, Fares, and Charges, of the CEQA Guidelines, which states that "CEQA does not apply to the establishment, modification, structuring, restructuring, or approval of rates, tolls, fares, and other charges by public agencies which the public agency finds are for the purpose of meeting operating expenses, including employee wage rates and fringe benefits."
FISCAL IMPACT:
These changes would modestly increase revenue and have a net result in approaching full cost recovery.

Agenda Report
Agenda Item 7.
DATE: April 25, 2023
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Anthony Shute, Director of Community Development
SUBJECT: Consider Proposed Amendments to EMCM Title 5 Addressing Service Providers Operating in the City of El Cajon
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council:
Opens the Public Hearing and receives testimony;1.
Closes the Public Hearing; and2.
Introduces the next Ordinance, in order, approving proposed Amendment to ECMC Title 5.3.
BACKGROUND:
On March 21, 2023, the City Council held a special meeting to discuss options on how to address the impact of homeless placement programs being operated by service providers in the City of El Cajon. During the special City Council meeting, ideas discussed included establishing conditions on how sex offenders are placed in emergency housing, regulations on service providers, and conditions requiring criminal background checks.
At the March 28, 2023 City Council meeting, staff proposed leveraging the City’s Special Operation License (SOL) regulations in Title 5 of the El Cajon Municipal Code (ECMC) to require agencies and organizations (“service providers”) that engage in emergency housing placement and case management activities to first obtain a SOL before operating or providing services in the City.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
This proposed amendment to ECMC Title 5 (Business and Regulations) seeks to add a new chapter (5.22 Service Providers), and adds “Service Providers” to the list of businesses requiring a special operation license in ECMC section 5.16.030 (Special Operation License Applicability). As proposed, service providers would be required to obtain a SOL and be subject to operational and reporting requirements designed to (1) ensure a safe living and business environment, (2) prevent participants from falling into homelessness, (3) ensure program effectiveness, and (4) prevent nuisance activities at housing placement locations.
Meetings with Service Providers
In preparation for this agenda item, the City held two workshops with homeless service providers. Meetings were held on April 12 and April 17, 2023. The intent of the workshops was to provide background information about staff’s recommendations and the City Council’s direction. It also allowed staff to present the proposed regulations and reporting requirements. .!!!!_ Valley of opportunity
~ ~ ~
C'o ~ '\.o,
"'Poratel\
The intent of providing this information was to understand concerns of the service provider community, gain understanding on operational issues, and develop relationships with the providers. A total of four service providers were represented at the two workshops, along with County staff, and a representative of the East County Homeless Task Force.
Proposed Code Amendment Summary
A draft ordinance containing amendments to ECMC Title 5 has been prepared for the City Council in underline strikeout format. The draft amendments include changes consistent with the Council’s direction on March 21 and March 28, 2023. To summarize, the proposed code amendments include the following:
Revised Applicability
The proposed amendment includes adding service providers to the list of businesses requiring a special operation license. Specifically, service providers are added to ECMC section 5.16.030.B.
New Regulations for Service Providers
Proposed ECMC chapter 5.22 includes definitions, license requirements, operational standards and reporting, and recourse for non-compliance. Specifically, service providers will be required to submit an application with the following:
The name of agencies, organizations, or governments for which the service provider is under contract to provide services
1. A copy of the contract or agreement with the agency, organization or government, including the scope of work and services being provided
2. The name(s) and address(es) of all emergency shelter, bridge, temporary, and permanent housing locations where individuals will be placed – please note there's an exception for domestic violence (DV) victims.
3. Operational standards include:
Criminal background checks1.
Notice to be given to the Police Department 48 hours prior to placement of registered sex offenders of Static-99R score of 4 or greater
2. Sex offender distance limits from certain uses3.
Service provider accompanying participant requirement4.
Discharge and transportation plan5.
Monthly reporting requirements include:
Number of participants1.
Address of housing location (exception for DV)2.
The location where the participant was most recently homeless prior to being placed in El Cajon
3. Number of new, existing, and discharged participants4.
Number of participants discharged or transported to another service provider5.
The average daily rate paid for the housing of each participant 6.
Each service provider will be subject to a one-time special operation license fee, which is currently $335. Additionally, a business license will also be required and renewed each year.
The business license tax is $40 + $3 per employee annually for a business located in the City, and $60 + $6 per employee annually for a business whose location is outside the City but does business in the City. Please note that $6 per employee for an out-of-city business is only attributable to the number of employees working in El Cajon.
Economic Development
The health and vitality of existing commercial areas are essential to the continued revitalization of the City. The lack of regulation of service providers and secondary effects of housing placement in lodging establishments has increased calls for service, crime, and contributes to a negative public perception of El Cajon, which may discourage investment in new land development projects, new businesses, and the maintenance of existing buildings. The proposed regulations will ensure that service providers and the programs they implement do not negatively impact El Cajon’s commercial districts.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT:
This project is exempt pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Subsection 15061(b)(3), the “Common Sense,” rule which states that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. The proposed amendments are designed to ensure a safe living and business environment, inform the City of the number of service providers operating in El Cajon, and prevent nuisance activities throughout the City.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Implementation of the proposed ordinance amendments is expected to include administrative, legal, and material costs. A special operation license fee and business license tax already exist in the City’s Miscellaneous Fee Schedule.

Agenda Report
Agenda Item 13.
DATE: April 25, 2023
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Bill Wells, Mayor & Phil Ortiz, Councilmember
SUBJECT: Cost Recovery from Skilled Nursing Facilities for Abuse of the City's Emergency Medical Response System
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council directs staff to provide a policy analysis or to draft an ordinance for City Council consideration that would create a cost recovery fee to be charged to skilled nursing facilities that abuse the City’s emergency medical response system.
BACKGROUND:
We have heard from City staff that the number of emergency medical calls made by skilled nursing facilities are significant. As part of this information, we are worried that many of these calls are non-emergency calls. This puts a burden on the City’s emergency medical response system. We learned that the City of Costa Mesa implemented a program that allows its city to recover the cost of excess calls by motels for nuisance behavior.
Having worked in an emergency department of a hospital (Mayor Wells) and as an EMT (Councilmember Ortiz), we can attest that there are skilled nursing facilities that take advantage of local city paramedics and emergency rooms, costing taxpayers. We believe establishing a reimbursement fee would curb the excessive non-emergency calls and free up resources for the benefit of the community.
We ask that the City Council support our recommendation that staff bring back a policy analysis or draft an ordinance for City Council consideration regarding a cost recovery fee on skilled nursing facilities that abuse the City’s emergency medical response system.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT:
The discussion of cost recovery for excess calls for service is not a project subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it is a procedural, administrative step in the process, which may only direct the staff to study and prepare potential amendments to the Municipal Code for future consideration.
