Agenda Item 4.
DATE: May 13, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Dave Richards, Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: Continuation of Emergency for Storm Water System Repairs RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council adopts the next Resolution, in order, proclaiming the Continuation of Emergency for Storm Water System Repairs to Public Facilities.
BACKGROUND:
On March 17, 2025, the Public Works Department received a report of a sinkhole at 842 Brockton Street. Upon further investigation, staff discovered a sinkhole measuring approximately 3 feet by 4 feet wide, and 5 feet deep in the side yard of the property, about 5 feet away from the slab of the home. Records confirm that the City owns and maintains a 24 inch corrugated metal pipe (CMP) that travels through the property to convey storm water from the street to a natural channel behind the property. The sinkhole was filled to protect the property from imminent danger. City staff attempted to inspect the failed pipe but were unable to due to pipe failures on both ends of the pipe.
Due to the excessive moisture in the surrounding soil, the failed pipe, and the potential for additional rainfall during the regular rainy season, it is prudent to replace the failed pipe to prevent the creation of additional sinkholes. The conditions require immediate repairs to the storm water system to protect adjacent public improvements, maintain critical street thoroughfares, and preserve life and safety. On March 25, 2025, the City Council declared an emergency with Resolution No. 024-25.
On March 28, 2025, the City contracted Montano Pipeline to complete the pipe excavation and replacement. The contractor began work on the property on April 3, 2025. The project is anticipated to take up to 8 weeks to complete. Currently, the estimated cost to excavate and replace the storm water pipe is approximately $450,000. As of May 5, 2025, 220 of 250 feet of pipe has been excavated and replaced. Following the pipe installation, the contractor will begin restoring the two properties to pre-construction condition.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT:
Emergency repairs to publicly-owned service facilities necessary to maintain service essential to public health, safety, or general welfare are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to section 15269(b) (Emergency Projects) of the State CEQA Guidelines.

SUBJECT: Resolution Authorizing the Consolidation of the City’s 457(b) Recordkeeping Service and Administration from Two Different Providers to a Single Recordkeeping Service and Administration with Nationwide RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council adopts the next Resolution, in order, authorizing staff to consolidate the City’s 457(b) recordkeeping service and administration from two different providers to a single recordkeeping service and administration with Nationwide, and authorizing the City Manager to sign all required provider agreements on behalf of the City.
BACKGROUND:
As a fiduciary, the City has a responsibility to control the investment choices made available to employees within the 457(b) plans of the current providers, Nationwide and Mission Square.
The City also has the responsibility to review the provider's plan fees. In 2024, the City requested a fee comparison analysis of the two plans and ultimately decided to take advantage of the economies of scale by consolidating the two plans into one large plan under Nationwide.
The plan consolidation will generate a plan savings of $162,400.07.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT:
The proposed City Council action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines section 15378(b)(4) and (5). Government fiscal and administrative activities are not subject to CEQA.

DATE: May 13, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Marisol Thorn, Deputy City Manager
SUBJECT: Police Officers' Association and Police Officers' Association Management Group Educational Incentive Side Letters as a Result of CalPERS Compliance Review
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council approves and authorizes the terms and conditions of the Educational Incentive Limited Side Letter Agreement between the City and the Police Officers' Association and Police Officers' Association Management Group.
BACKGROUND:
In March 2025, City staff were notified of a compliance discrepancy between the labor contract language for educational incentives and the City's special compensation reporting to CalPERS.
After consultation with legal counsel and review of the existing contract language, it was determined the language was not in compliance with Government Code section 20636, and the contracts for Police Officer's Association and Police Officer's Association Management would need to be modified through a limited side letter agreement in order to bring the City's CalPERS reporting into compliance. Under Government Code section 20636, an additional requirement for special compensation creates a group or class disparity, as it separates work-related groupings from other members, which makes the special compensation no longer available to all members in the group or class of logical grouping.
Side letter agreements for the Police Officers' Association and Police Officers' Association Management Group are attached and identify the modification to each labor contract.
Specifically, the proposed language removes the tenure requirement for requesting educational incentives. The modification will allow all POA and POA MG members to receive educational incentives upon showing proof of a college degree, regardless of tenure with the City or other law enforcement agency.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT:
The proposed City Council action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines section 15378(b)(4) and (5). Government fiscal and administrative activities are not subject to CEQA.

FISCAL IMPACT:
The educational incentive program is a self-reported structure in which employees are responsible for requesting educational incentives and submitting supporting documentation.
Based on the new police officer hires and promotions since July 1, 2024, the estimated fiscal impact is expected to be around $62,000.

DATE: May 13, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Marisol Thorn, Deputy City Manager
SUBJECT: City Council Policy A-29 Unrepresented Police Executive Management Group Cost Share (Government Code section 20516)
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council adopts the next Resolution, in order, to approve the submittal of the Cost Share CalPERS contract amendment request for City Council Policy A-29, unrepresented Police Executive Management group under Government Code section 20516.
BACKGROUND:
In order to align with changes made to the El Cajon Police Officers' Association and the respective Management Group’s pending CalPERS retirement contract amendment, staff recommend changes to the employee CalPERS classic member contributions for the unrepresented police Executive Management group, which includes the Police Chief.
Upon approval and adoption of the Resolution, staff will proceed with the request to CalPERS to start the contract amendment process. Although this Resolution was previously adopted, CalPERS requires the current incumbent(s) in the affected group to sign and acknowledge the change along with the Resolution.
The change to amend the contract with CalPERS is as stated:
Classic unrepresented police Executive Management,
Group shall pay an additional 1% towards the employer rate per GC 20516, and Effective the first pay-period following the Contract Amendment.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT:
City Council approval of the proposed A-29 changes is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") in accordance with section 15378(b)(2) of the State CEQA Guidelines because they are personnel-related actions and therefore not a project.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The fiscal impact is a reduction in CalPERS contributions and has already been appropriated in the Fiscal Year 2025-2026 budget.

RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council adopts the next Resolution, in order, to:

2. Accept, appropriate, and expend $300,000.00 in State Funded Clean Mobility Options (CLMOBVOUCH) grant funds.
3. BACKGROUND:
On October 9, 2023, the City was awarded a state-funded $1.5 million grant from Clean Mobility Options (CMO) to provide a micro-transit service to improve transit coverage across the City and increase first and last-mile connections to frequent bus and trolley service and to other points of interest in the City. On January 23, 2024, the City Council approved the execution to receive $1.5 million in CMO grant funds and to hire Nomad Transit, LLC to provide micro-transit professional services.
The project was launched on March 17, 2025, and was showcased on two local TV news stations. This project features a cell phone application (“app”) to access this service, allowing riders to plan and connect to “end-to-end” fixed bus routes and trolley services. To date, over 500 rider accounts have been created during the first months of service and will hopefully increase as the project progresses. An additional $300,000.00 was awarded to the City to extend the micro-transit project for an additional five-month period beyond the original two-year term of the voucher agreement.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT:
This project was approved by the City Council on January 23, 2024, and was determined to be exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to section 15301 of the State CEQA guidelines. Section 15301, Class 1 consists of the operation of existing public facilities, including streets and highways.

PROPOSED BUDGET AND PLAN FOR FINANCIAL SUSTAINABILITY
This section collects information about the proposed budget and your plan for financial sustainability. Projects must operate for at least 4 years from the date that operations fully launch (when participants start using the service). This period is referred to as the Project Operation Period. In this section, MPV Awardees must describe strategies for maintaining the proposed services at least throughout the project operations period in the required Financial Sustainability Plan in their additional funding request.

2. Describe your strategies for maintaining the current service(s) throughout a minimum of a 4- year project operation period. Additionally, provide detailed strategies for sustaining the expansion if you are utilizing additional funds for project expansion.
Note: This response must explain how the service will be maintained for at least 4 years of full operations and sustained beyond the Project Operation Period. Include resources required to fully operate the project for at least 4 years from the date that operations fully launch.
In order to maintain the current service throughout the minimum four year project operation period the City will collaborate with Via to devise various strategies for the continuous provision of service to the community. These strategies may involve implementing a lease-to-own arrangement for the vehicles, where the cost of the vehicles can be spread out and gradually paid off over the course of four years or even longer, ultimately leading to El Cajon's ownership of the vehicles. Via is also open to exploring alternative and inventive models that would enable the vehicles to continue servicing the community effectively.
Staff will also raise awareness about public transit options and demonstrate the potential benefits of shared mobility solutions. It will likely encourage residents to consider public transportation as a viable alternative to private vehicle ownership by including quarterly social media advertising the service.
This increased awareness and demand for efficient transit options could persist even after the microtransit service ends, potentially influencing future transportation planning and decision-making in El Cajon.
El Cajon will use a mix of marketing channels, and will work with Via to continuously review and optimize the growth plan based on those channels that prove to be most effective. Channels will include digital marketing, out-of-home advertising, City of El Cajon Social Media (Facebook, lnstagram, YouTube), City of El Cajon Website, Senior center sites, health centers and hospitals, and street marketing, to name a few.
Docusign Envelope ID: 46C7B261-AC82-4ADA-B054-2F74C0CC9EE9
3. Describe your strategies for ensuring vehicles and equipment continue to serve the community if operation discontinues after the voucher agreement term.
In the event that El Cajon assumes control of the service's operations, the El Cajon microtransit service could transition into a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model. Under this model, Via would no longer handle the coordination and operations of the service or ensure vehicle maintenance . Instead, Via would solely provide the software component. Through Via's Saas solution, partners can seamlessly incorporate their own fleet of vehicles or engage a third-party agency to operate the service. Via would continue to offer comprehensive support services, including the backend routing and ride aggregation system, service management interface, as well as the Via Rider and Driver Apps. This Saas solution empowers partners with a complete set of tools and assistance to independently operate on-demand transit services using their own drivers , vehicles, dispatchers , and customer support representatives.
Once GMO voucher funding runs out, El Cajon is committed to securing additional funding, through a variety of mechanisms, to ensure the service's long-term sustainability even long after the five-year period. For Years 3-4, El Cajon is considering a number of diverse strategies to ensure the financial sustainability of the program following the end of the two-year voucher terms.
Forging partnerships with local businesses and organizations could yield a significant amount of revenue for the service. The City will also work closely with Via to better understand rider trends and pull data on trip origins and destinations. Once this data is analyzed, the City can assess which employees are using the service and then approach those businesses for support. For example, if a high percentage of trips start or end at an employer site, the City could approach that employer to purchase a certain number of trips which would encourage residents to use the service and provide the employer with a reliable form of employee transportation .
Via will also support the City of El Cajon to secure funding for the service through competitive state, federal, and foundation grants. The microtransit solution which requires little-to-no expensive infrastructure investment is appealing to government entities (including the FTA, FHWA, CalSTA, etc.) looking to fund new mobility modes at lower cost and risk.

Amendment #1
to the
Transit as-a-Service (TAAS) SERVICE ORDER
Nomad Transit (“Nomad”) and City of El Cajon(“Customer” and, together with Via, the “Parties”) have entered into that certain agreement titled Transit as-a-Service (TAAS) SERVICE ORDER dated September 24, 2024, (the “Agreement”). Upon execution of this Amendment #1 (the “Amendment”), the Parties agree to modify the Agreement as follows:
1. Amendment. Sections “Fee Schedule”, “:Lump Sum Fixed (Upfront) Costs,” and “Ongoing Invoice Fees” of the Agreement are hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
3. Fees
The Fees for the service described in this Order are:
The table below outlines the payment structure, in which Customer would be charged an upfront initial fee as consideration for the immediate access to the license under the Services, ongoing monthly fees based on vehicle hours. All regulatory fees related to the service will be charged as a pass-through cost. The Pilot shall include a fleet of vehicles as described in Section 4, Service Parameters, subject to the execution of the Contract by the parties on terms to be agreed (including any change in fees). The total Contract value shall not exceed $1,800,000 for the 3- year Contract term.
Customer will be billed for the above fees as described below. Fees assume Launch Date occurs within four months of Order signing. If the Launch Date is delayed beyond four months of Order signing, Nomad may opt to renegotiate the fees. Ongoing Invoice Fees will be billed payable in advance on the first of the month and as further specified below. Customer shall pay the following fees to Nomad:
Fixed (Initial) Costs
Customer shall pay to Nomad an initial fee, which is non-refundable except in the event of the breach of this Order by Nomad, of $65,000 which will be payable in full upon signing of this Order.
In addition to technology localization costs, installation fee includes 2 rear-entry WAV retrofits at a cost of $15,000 each and 4 vehicle wraps at a cost of $2,500 each. Should Customer require additional WAV retrofits or vehicle wraps, Nomad will bill Customer as incurred as a pass-through.
Ongoing Invoice Fees
Customer shall be responsible for monthly ongoing fees per vehicle hour (or portions thereof) as outlined below (the “Monthly Subscription Fees”). A vehicle hour is defined as each hour during which a Driver is paid on the Via platform. Notwithstanding the number of vehicle hours incurred per month, Customer shall be responsible for a minimum Monthly Subscription Fee of $25,000 per month (the “ Minimum Monthly Fees ”). The Minimum Monthly Fees shall be payable in advance on the first of the month provided that the first Minimum Monthly Fees shall be due upon execution of this Order. In the event that the Monthly Subscription Fees for any month exceed the Minimum Monthly Fees paid hereunder, the Customer shall be responsible for paying such difference (the “Monthly True-up”) on a monthly invoice basis. All fees set forth herein shall be payable by Customer on a net thirty basis. If Nomad does not receive timely, undisputed, payment, Via Entity may charge the maximum monthly interest allowed by law or one percent, whichever is less, suspend Via Entity’s performance, and seek cost of collection, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.
Year 1 monthly ongoing fees: $100.47 per vehicle hour Year 2 monthly ongoing fees: $105.49 per vehicle hour Year 3 (4.67 months) monthly ongoing fees: $110.76 per vehicle hour In addition to the Monthly Subscription Fees, Customer shall also be responsible for annual marketing fees as outlined below. These fees will be billed to Customer annually upfront. Year 1 annual marketing fees: $10,000
Year 2 annual marketing fees: $10,000
Nomad will provide Customer with an invoice statement showing the calculation of the Monthly Subscription Fees incurred based on the actual number of vehicle hours (or portions thereof) that Drivers performed during that month in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. The Customer hereby agrees that the form of the sample invoice form set forth on Exhibit A is satisfactory to Customer and sufficient to meet the Customer’s requirements for process invoicing such that questions regarding invoice or invoice support format will not delay payment to Nomad. If Customer requires additional invoice support, Nomad can use best efforts to provide it.
Should changes in applicable federal, state or local law result in a significant change in Nomad’s costs, Nomad or Customer may opt to renegotiate the ongoing monthly fees. Should changes in applicable market dynamics result in an increase in Nomad’s cost per hour of 10% or more to any of the following categories, compared to costs at the time of contract signing, Nomad may amend the ongoing on-demand vehicle hour rate accordingly:
● Labor (Driver pay)
● Vehicle rental
● Fuel (petroleum only)
Should Nomad have an adjustment to the per vehicle hour rate, supporting documentation of the relevant cost increases will be provided to Customer, and (upon the approval of the Customer) the Contract will be amended to reflect the new Fee structure and per vehicle hour rate so that, at the discretion of the Customer, either:
1. The total not-to-exceed contract value is adjusted such that the total not-to-exceed number of vehicle hours remains unchanged, or
2. The total not-to-exceed number of vehicle hours is adjusted such that the total not-to- exceed contract value remains unchanged.

Agenda Report
Agenda Item 11.
DATE: May 13, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Dave Richards, Director of Public Works - Operations SUBJECT: Delinquent Refuse/Recycling Collection Charges RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council:
Opens the Public Hearing and receives public testimony;1.
Closes the Public Hearing;2.
Adopts the next Resolution, in order, to confirm the list of property owners as delinquent in the payment of their mandatory refuse/recycling service bills; and
3. Authorizes the City Clerk to record the amount owed for each account as a lien on the respective property and forward the list to the County Tax Assessor for billing on the next property tax bill.
4. BACKGROUND:
Chapter 8.24 of the El Cajon Municipal Code (ECMC) provides that the collection of garbage, refuse, recycling materials, and organic waste from all residences and places of business within the City is mandatory for all property owners. Chapter 8.24 also provides that the City Council has the power to contract with a private service to perform solid waste collection and disposal.
The City previously entered into a collection services and franchise agreement (Agreement) with EDCO Disposal (EDCO) for mandatory residential and commercial garbage, recyclable materials, and organic waste collection services. Single-family residential customers who apply for and receive an exemption from the mandatory residential refuse/recycling services are excluded from the Agreement. Examples of exemptions include vacant properties, residents taking their refuse/recycling to their privately-owned business in the City limits of El Cajon with an active EDCO commercial account, or hauling their refuse/recycling to a City-approved collection alternative. In any instance, the customer must provide backup documentation and/or receipts of disposal as proof to receive an exemption.
As part of ECMC Chapter 8.24, and as provided in the Agreement, EDCO can bill property owners for regular service and, if collection efforts are unsuccessful, assign the accounts to the City for collection by making the delinquencies special assessments against the subject property. Prior to establishing these special assessments, the City Council must conduct a public hearing where the property owner can protest the amounts of their account, and if the City Council finds an account delinquent, it adopts a resolution to place liens on the respective properties, to be collected through the County tax collection process. The special assessments include charges for handling the delinquency public hearing, and if not timely paid, interest is added to the lien at the rate of 7% per annum.
Once the funds are collected through the tax lien process, the City must remit them to EDCO, with the City retaining collected fees and interest. This allows the City to use the enforcement power of a property lien, when necessary, to collect past-due amounts. Additionally, the lien process is cost-effective for the City to ensure payment for delivered services.
Shown below is a summary of notices regarding the lien process:
Throughout 2024 - invoices and reminder letters were mailed, automated, recorded ("Robo") calls were made, and carts tagged to remind customers of their past-due balances;
January 2025 - notices and letters were mailed and additional Robo calls were made; February 2025 - personal phone calls were made, emails sent, owners were verified and contacted, and carts were tagged;
March 2025 - personal phone calls were continued, and owner information was again verified; and
April 2025 - public hearing notices were sent.
EDCO provided several notices, outreach efforts, and opportunities to pay any delinquent amount before the lien process was brought before the City Council. This is evident when you compare the initial total number of delinquent accounts in January 2025 of 1,019 to the total delinquent accounts by April 23, 2025, of 206, a decrease of 813 or 79.78%. The total lien amount plus fees is $56,808.28. The table below details the breakdown of the total fees:

Subject to any payments of delinquent accounts between April 23 and May 13, 2025, the total of $56,808.28 is the maximum amount, which is the aggregate of all delinquent accounts being presented as of the preparation of this report. It is the staff recommendation that the City Council adopts the attached resolution and authorizes the City Clerk to record the individual delinquencies as liens on the respective properties as set forth in Exhibit A to this report.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT:
This action does not constitute a "Project" pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”). In accordance with State CEQA Guidelines section 15378(b)(5), it is an administrative activity of the government that does not result in any change in the environment.
FISCAL IMPACT:
As provided in El Cajon Municipal Code section 8.24.080, the City will receive 10 percent of the total delinquent amount and a $15 City Clerk fee for each delinquent account, which as of April 23, 2025, equals $7,599.04.

Agenda Report
Agenda Item 12.
DATE: May 13, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Vince DiMaggio, Assistant City Manager
SUBJECT: Legislative Report - Spring 2025
RECOMMENDATION:
This is an informational item. No action is required by the City Council.
BACKGROUND:
Attached is the bi-annual legislative report. The current legislative session is the first year of a new two-year session. Any bill that does not move through the process according to a series of standard deadlines could return during next year’s session. As of the February cut-off date, over 2,300 bills were submitted, of which over 300 are related to land use issues.
Using a number of different resources, staff has reduced the list down to what are believed to be the most impactful bills. However, staff will continue to look for bills that may have been overlooked as the session continues and will provide updates by memorandum to the City Council. A few notable bills are highlighted below:
AB 1333 (Zbur) – This is the bill staff presented to the City Council a few meetings ago that changes the definition for justifiable homicide in cases where someone is defending their home or property. Despite the author publicly saying he would withdraw the bill, it has not been withdrawn, but amended, and is still very much alive in the legislative process.
SB 634 (Weiner) – This bill would prevent cities from interfering with anyone who is homeless and is pursuing activities pertaining to their “basic survival”. The bill specifically mentions living in tents as part of what is considered to be “basic survival.” In essence, as currently written, this bill would prevent cities from removing homeless encampments.
SB 496 (Hurtado) – This bill was the brainchild of the El Cajon City Manager and Assistant City Manager who, following the LA fires, came up with the idea to declare public works vehicles as “first responder” vehicles and have them exempted from the state’s electrification mandate.
Several efforts were made to find a lawmaker to sponsor the bill, until the League of California Cities secured Senator Hurtado’s support days before the February deadline for submitting legislation. Currently, this bill is moving quickly through the process.
Attached are a number of other bills that have potentially both positive and negative impacts that are being closely monitored.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT:
This is an informational item. Therefore, it is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it is not a “project” under section 15378(b)(5) of the State CEQA Guidelines. It is an organizational or administrative activity of government that will not result in a direct or indirect physical change in the environment.

The remaining projects are expected to be completed by mid-2026.
As part of the presentation, staff will review several of the projects and provide time for the City Council to ask questions.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT:
The appropriation of American Rescue Plan Act funds to support the staff recommendations does not constitute a “project,” pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines sections 15061(b) and 15378 because there is no potential that the activity will result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. Furthermore, the recommendations also fall within the "common sense" CEQA exemption set forth in State CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3), excluding projects 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.” No unusual circumstances exist and none of the exceptions under State CEQA Guidelines section 15300.2 apply.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This action will appropriate $9,260 to ARP25 and de-appropriate $167,246 in funding under the following ARPA Projects: ARP10, ARP12, ARP22, ARP23, and ARP26.

RECOMMENDATION:
That Mayor Wells requests the City Clerk to recite the title.
An Ordinance Approving an Amendment to Title 17 of the El Cajon Municipal Code (Zoning Code) for Housing, Permit Streamlining, and other Minor Technical Changes, Revisions, and Edits.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT:
The proposed Zoning Code Amendment is exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") according to the common sense exemption (State CEQA Guidelines, section 15061(b)(3)). The common sense exemption applies 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 proposed amendment does not result in any development or changes to the physical environment and does not raise this project to a level of significance that warrants CEQA analysis.

ORDINANCE NO. 5153__
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF EL CAJON ENACTING CHAPTER 8.09 OF THE
EL CAJON MUNICIPAL CODE TO IMPLEMENT A FEE FOR
NON-EMERGENCY LIFT ASSISTANCE AT LICENSED CARE FACILITIES WHEREAS, the City of El Cajon maintains a Fire Department (the "Fire Department"), which responds to many emergency incidents in the City of El Cajon (the "City") and surrounding jurisdictions; and
WHEREAS, the Fire Department has been dispatched to licensed care and congregate care facilities in the City for the purpose of lifting non-injured residents ("non- emergency"), which responses unnecessarily occupies, delays, or prevents the Fire Department’s personnel and equipment from responding to emergency calls for service; and
WHEREAS, licensed care facilities, as defined in this ordinance, are required to provide adequate staff to meet the needs of residents in providing care and service without the need for non-emergency services, and City costs for responding to non- emergencies at said facilities should be recovered where the facility is requesting a lift assist to be performed for non-injured residents where facility personnel can and should perform such lifts; and
WHEREAS, the fee will only be applied to non-injury lift assists in licensed care facilities where the facilities are required by law to provide adequate staffing to meet the needs of their clients; and
WHEREAS, the Fire Department will continue to provide lift assistance at no cost to residents and businesses not considered licensed care facilities.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EL CAJON DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Legislative Findings. The findings and recitals set forth above are true and correct.
SECTION 2. Purpose. The purpose of this ordinance is to enact Chapter 8.09 of Title 8 of the El Cajon Municipal Code to establish standards and controls to recover costs associated with non-emergency lift assist calls responded to by the Fire Department.
SECTION 3. Chapter 8.09 is added to Title 8 of the El Cajon Municipal Code to read as follows:
8.09 Fee for Non-Emergency Lift Assistance at Licensed Care Facilities
8.09.010 Purpose.
8.09.020 Definitions.
8.09.030 Determination of Non-Emergency Lift Assistance.
8.09.040 Assessment of Fee.
8.09.050 Administrative Decision.
8.09.060 Waiver of Imposition.
8.09.070 Appeal from Administrative Decision.
8.09.010 Purpose.
The purpose of this chapter is to enact a fee to recover the costs associated with the use of the 911 emergency system to dispatch personnel of the El Cajon Fire Department or its contractors and partners for non-emergency patient lift assistance at licensed care facilities. The intent is to provide a disincentive for the practice of using publicly funded emergency services to provide non-emergency assistance to a licensed care facility, which is required by law to provide adequate staffing to care for its clients.
8.09.020 Definitions.
For the purpose of this section, the following terms, phrases, words, and their derivations shall have the meanings given:
"Licensed care facility" means a facility that is required by state law to maintain a license to provide health care, community care, congregate care, assisted living, and/or residential care services. "Licensed care facilities" include (but are not limited to) skilled nursing facilities; intermediate care facilities (including those providing developmentally disabled habilitative, development disabled, developmentally disabled-nursing, continuing nursing, services); congregate living health facilities; or nursing facilities, each as defined in California Health & Safety Code section 1250 (or any successor law to section 1250), but excluding acute care (i.e., hospital) services. "Licensed care facilities" further include any community care facilities subject to licensure from the State of California, Health & Human Services Agency, Department of Social Services pursuant to Title 22, Division 6, Chapter 1 of the California Code of Regulations, or any successor regulation replacing said chapter.
"Lift assist" means a response by a fire department emergency response unit of the city, the emergency response unit of a private contractor of the city, or the unit of another public safety department providing automatic or mutual aid to the city, to a licensed care facility for the purpose of lifting a fallen person to a pre-fall position.
"Non-emergency" means a determination, based upon an assessment by the commanding officer or paramedic of the emergency response unit, that there is not an emergency medical condition or medical necessity justifying the presence of the emergency unit at the facility.
8.09.030 Determination of Non-Emergency Lift Assistance.
Based upon the assessment undertaken by the commanding officer or paramedic of an emergency response unit dispatched to a licensed care facility and their determination that no emergency medical condition or emergency medical necessity exists, but the staff of the facility desires that emergency response personnel complete a lift assist of a fallen person, the officer shall declare the incident a non-emergency lift assist in their incident report. If the commanding officer or paramedic cannot reasonably determine that a non-emergency condition exists it shall be presumed that the response was for an emergency condition or medical necessity.
8.09.040 Assessment of Fee.
The fire chief, or designee, shall be authorized to charge a fee to the owner of the licensed care facility for each incident determined to be non- emergency lift assist at licensed care facilities. The amount of the non- emergency lift assistance fee shall be established by resolution of the city council, and shall reasonably relate to the cost of providing the non- emergency service to the licensed care facility.
8.09.050 Administrative Decision.
Notice of the imposition of fees under the provisions of this chapter shall be sent to the owner, administrator, or management of the facility where the incident occurred; and may be served on the entity or person holding the license for operation of the facility.
8.09.060 Waiver of Imposition.
In the event the fire chief, or designee, determines that the determination of a commanding officer or paramedic that their finding of a non-emergency lift assist was in error or there were other mitigating facts which the commanding officer or paramedic did not possess at the time of the incident, the fire chief, or designee, may waive imposition of the applicable fee(s).
8.09.070 Appeal from Administrative Decision.
A. Any party subject to a fee under the provisions of this chapter shall have a right of appeal to the fire chief, or their designee. A notice of appeal must be submitted in writing no later than ten (10) days after issuance of the notice of the fee by invoice or other document, and must be directed to the fire chief, at the address listed on the notice of fee. The written appeal should include the fee reference number
and the party's reasoning why the determination of notice of non- emergency lift assist should be reconsidered.
B. Within thirty (30) days of receipt of a written appeal, an impartial review of the appeal shall be completed and a recommendation shall be presented to the fire chief, or designee, for final decision, which will be reported to the appellant in writing. Unless a notice of appeal is properly filed in accordance with this section within ten (10) days of the issuance of notice of fee, said fee is deemed final.
C. Any appeal of a fee must be conducted pursuant to sections 1.14.100 and 1.14.110 of the El Cajon Municipal Code. Any conflict between this section and sections 1.14.100 or 1.14.110, shall be resolved in favor of the requirements in this section.
D. An administrative hearing to appeal a decision of the department to charge the fee is civil in nature and therefore the burden of proof required is a preponderance of the evidence. In such an appeal the administrative hearing officer shall only determine whether the violations of this chapter occurred. The administrative hearing officer shall not consider the appropriateness of the amount of the fine or whether the amount of the fee is excessive or creates a financial hardship on the facility; nor shall the administrative hearing officer grant the applicant any stay of execution or delay of enforcement of a suspension or revocation sustained following the hearing.
E. The rules of evidence in an administrative hearing to appeal a decision of the department to charge the fee shall be in accordance with California Government Code sections 11513 and 11514 as those sections might be amended from time to time. Except as provided in this subdivision (E), the provisions of administrative adjudication for the State of California (Chapter 5 of Part 1 of Division 3 of Title 2 of the California Government Code) shall not apply to any administrative hearing under this chapter.
SECTION 4. Severability. If any portion of this ordinance, or its application to any person or circumstance, is for any reason held to be invalid, unenforceable, or unconstitutional by a court of competent jurisdiction, that portion shall be deemed severable, and such invalidity, unenforceability, or unconstitutionality shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining portions of the ordinance or its application to any other person or circumstance. The City Council of the City of El Cajon hereby declares that it would have adopted each section, sentence, clause, or phrase of this ordinance irrespective of the fact that any one or more other sections, sentences, clauses, or phrases of the ordinance be declared invalid, unenforceable, or unconstitutional.
SECTION 5. Construction. The City Council of the City of El Cajon intends this ordinance to supplement, not to duplicate or contradict, applicable state and federal law, and this ordinance shall be construed in light of that intent.
SECTION 6. Environmental. This ordinance is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378(b)(5) as it is an organizational or administrative activity of government that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment.
SECTION 7. Effective Date. This ordinance shall take effect thirty (30) days after the date of its adoption.
