The proposed Ordinance is exempt from environmental review, in accordance with the provisions of Section 15061(b)(3) of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), as amended. The proposed Ordinance does not have the potential to cause a significant effect on the environment because the updates to the Zoning Code address activities within existing buildings related to tobacco sales and any future smoke shop relocation requests will be required to conduct a separate environmental review.

Agenda Item 5.

DATE: January 13, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Yazmin Arellano, Director of Development Services SUBJECT: Authorization for the Execution of a Program Supplement Agreement with the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans)
RECOMMENDATION:

BACKGROUND:

The City was recently awarded a $2,820,150 Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) grant from Caltrans. The grant funding is to make safety improvements on Washington Avenue between Sourth First Street and Jamacha Road. Specifically, the grant pays for the installation of raised concrete medians on Washington Avenue for approximately one mile. The project will also install a high-visibility pedestrian crossing at the intersection of Washington Avenue and Dorothy Street. In 2022, a similar Highway Safety Improvement grant to install raised concrete medians on Washington Avenue between Avocado Avenue and Mollison Avenue was awarded to the City, and this project will be advertised for construction in the next month. Staff will request authorization to establish the Washington Avenue Safety Improvements Phase 2 project at a future City Council meeting, once the program supplement is formally executed by all parties.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT:

The project includes the addition of raised medians and pedestrian crossings on existing streets, which are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines section 15301(c) which allows for minor alterations to existing facilities.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Once executed, Federal Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) grant funds in the total amount of $2,820,150.00 will be issued on a reimbursement basis from Caltrans. The $330,000 referenced in the attached Program Supplement Agreement is earmarked for the design phase, with $297,000 in HSIP grant funds and $33,000 in matching funds. At a future City Council meeting, the project will be requested for inclusion in the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Capital Improvement Program, along with the grant authorizations.

B. ADMINISTERING AGENCY agrees that it will only proceed with work authorized for specific phase(s) with an "Authorization to Proceed" and will not proceed with future phase(s) of this project prior to receiving an "Authorization to Proceed" from the STATE for that phase(s) unless no further State or Federal funds are needed for those future phase(s).

C. STATE and ADMINISTERING AGENCY agree that any additional funds which might be made available by future Federal obligations will be encumbered on this PROJECT by use of a STATE-approved "Authorization to Proceed" and Finance Letter. ADMINISTERING AGENCY agrees that Federal funds available for reimbursement will be limited to the amounts obligated by the Federal Highway Administration.

D. Award information shall be submitted by the ADMINISTERING AGENCY to the District Local Assistance Engineer within 60 days of project contract award and prior to the submittal of the ADMINISTERING AGENCY'S first invoice for the construction contract.

Failure to do so will cause a delay in the State processing invoices for the construction phase.

Attention is directed to Section 15.6 "Award Package" of the Local Assistance Procedures Manual.

E. ADMINISTERING AGENCY agrees, as a minimum, to submit invoices at least once every six months commencing after the funds are encumbered for each phase by the execution of this Project Program Supplement Agreement, or by STATE's approval of an applicable Finance Letter. STATE reserves the right to suspend future authorizations/obligations for Federal aid projects, or encumbrances for State funded projects, as well as to suspend invoice payments for any on-going or future project by ADMINISTERING AGENCY if PROJECT costs have not been invoiced by ADMINISTERING AGENCY for a six-month period.

To help in the success of your project, here are some important items to note:

1. Both federal and state funds will be used for HSIP Cycle 12 projects. Please pay attention to the funding type for your project as listed in the Cycle 12 project list. • Any project receiving $1.2 million or more in HSIP funding is federalized. • Projects receiving between $800,000 and $1.2 million in HSIP funding are federalized only if they qualify for the High Risk Rural Road (HRRR) Special Rule. • All other projects will use state funds.

2. The HSIP is a reimbursement program. Reimbursable work cannot commence on your project until you receive an allocation (for state funds) or an authorization (for federal funds) from Caltrans Division of Local Assistance (DLA) for this project.

3. For state funded HSIP projects, please note:
a. The funding allocation process for HSIP projects with state HSIP funding is different from projects in other programs such as ATP/STIP and SB1. The funding allocation for HSIP projects is processed through Caltrans DLA, not the CTC. b. The funding allocation request is Phase specific, i.e. Preliminary Engineering (PE), Right of Way (ROW) or Construction (CON).

For more guidance on implementing State-funded HSIP projects, please visit https://dot.ca.gov/programs/local-assistance/fed-and-state-programs/highway- safety-improvement-program/state-funded-hsip.

4. For federally funded HSIP projects, please follow the project authorization process in Chapter 3 of the Local Assistance Procedures Manual (LAPM).

5. The delivery of the HSIP Cycle 12 projects must meet the below milestones:
a. The PE phase (if applicable) must be allocated by 12/31/2025; b. The Construction (CON) phase must be allocated by 3/31/2028 (6 months may be added for projects with consultant for PE).

For HSIP project delivery requests and status of the projects, please visit https://dot.ca.gov/programs/local-assistance/fed-and-state-programs/highway- safety-improvement-program/delivery-requirements-status-approved-projects.

6. It is the agency’s responsibility to review their project scope throughout the project delivery process and confirm that HSIP funding is used to fund the approved eligible scope as defined in your HSIP application. In case that any scope or cost change is needed, please contact your DLAE.

7. Prior to engaging in any Architectural and Engineering (A&E) contract procurement(s), agencies should reference Chapter 10 (Consultant Selection) of the Local Assistance Procedures Manual (LAPM), located at https://dot.ca.gov/programs/local- assistance/guidelines-and-procedures/local-assistance-procedures-manual-lapm.

Agenda Report
Agenda Item 6.

DATE: January 13, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Jennifer Lyon, City Attorney

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT:

The proposed professional staffing for the City Attorney's Office is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") in accordance with section 15378(b)(5) of the State CEQA Guidelines, because it is an organizational activity of government.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact. The contract with the City Attorney and McDougal Boehmer Foley Lyon Mitchell & Erickson is not affected by this change.

A RESOLUTION APPOINTING CITY ATTORNEY STAFF

OF THE CITY OF EL CAJON

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EL CAJON AS FOLLOWS:

The City Attorney staff members are appointed, effective January 1, 202 6, as follows:

Jennifer M. Lyon, City Attorney

Cory R. Lacy, Assistant City Attorney

Mark-Robert Bluemel, Assistant City Attorney

Dimitri A. Davis, Assistant City Attorney

Agenda Report
Agenda Item 7.

DATE: January 13, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Yazmin Arellano, Director of Development Services SUBJECT: Appropriation of Funds for City Hall Improvements 2026 - Development Services Department
RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council:

Appropriates $80,000 of available City Capital Improvement Program (501) fund balance for the purpose described in the report; and

1. Establishes City Hall Improvements 2026 - Development Services Department (263974ESCP) project with a total project budget of $80,000.

2. BACKGROUND:

On December 9, 2025, the City Council approved updates to City Council Policy A-29, which supported the consolidation of the Community Development Department and Engineering Services Department into the Development Services Department. The consolidation will streamline operations, eliminate redundancy, and enhance service levels provided to residents and businesses.

The former departments currently occupy the 3rd and 4th floors of El Cajon City Hall. The proposed project intends to bring the new department to one floor, requiring the construction of additional offices and cubicle workspaces, new lighting, flooring, fire sprinkler modifications, electrical work, and changes to other building components. The improvements will allow the Development Services Department to operate from the 4th floor, which would create a vacancy on the 3rd floor. Possible relocation of the Finance Department and Parks and Recreation Department from the 5th floor to the vacant 3rd floor may allow for further lease agreements with another government agency. The City currently leases the 6th floor to the County of San Diego.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT:

This project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines section 15301, Class 1 (Existing Facilities) as it is a minor interior alteration to an existing office use involving such things as interior partitions, plumbing, electrical conveyances and other repairs or maintenance. None of the exceptions to the use of a categorical exemption listed under CEQA Guidelines section 15300.2 apply.

.!!!!_ Valley of opportunity
~ ~ ~
C'o ~ '\.o,

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this action will increase City Capital Improvement Program Fund (501) appropriations and decrease fund balance by $80,000. This funding will be used to create the $80,000 City Hall Improvements 2026 - Development Services Department (263974ESCP) project. Future lease revenue is anticipated by consolidating various departments within El Cajon City Hall as described above.

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Yazmin Arellano, Director of Development Services SUBJECT: Reduce the Grant Amount for the San Diego River Watershed Water Quality Improvements Project (Trash Capture Devices)
(243819PWCP/SDRG-B2207)
RECOMMENDATION:

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

Acknowledge the reduction of the grant amount received from the San Diego River Conservancy Grant (SDRG-B2207) from $1,000,000 to $761,439; and

1. Authorize the de-appropriation of the San Diego River Watershed Water Quality Improvements (243819PWCP) project budget by $238,561.

2. BACKGROUND:

On May 11, 2023, the City was awarded $1 million in San Diego River Conservancy Grant funds to install stormwater trash capture devices. On December 12, 2023, the City Council approved the award of Bid No. 021-24: San Diego River Watershed Water Quality Improvements Project to Downstream Services, Incorporated (DSI) to install the trash capture devices pursuant to the San Diego River Grant No. SDRG-B22-07. The San Diego River Conservancy decreased the original grant amount of $1 million to $761,439 due to a funding shortage.

On December 9, 2025, the City Council approved a project budget amendment to appropriate $150,000 of Wastewater Enterprise Funds from the Water Quality Improvements Trash Capture Devices Project (193655PWCP) for the purpose of increasing the San Diego River Watershed Water Quality Improvements Project (243819PWCP) (Phase 2) project budget. To date, 148 trash capture devices have been installed for $743,160.72, including City staff time to administer this project.

A separate contract change order will be requested at a future meeting to amend the construction contract with Downstream Services, Incorporated to install approximately 45 additional trash capture devices. The installation of trash capture devices at existing drainage curb inlets in the City complies with the State Water Resources Control Board's Trash Reduction Implementation Program, which requires full compliance by 2030.

City Council
Agenda Report
Agenda Item 10.

DATE: January 13, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Clay Schoen, Director of Finance
SUBJECT: Annual Comprehensive Financial Report for the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2025, and Other Written Communication from the City's Independent Auditor
RECOMMENDATION:

BACKGROUND:

Annual Comprehensive Financial Report and Independent Auditors' Report The Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) is prepared annually to present the City's financial condition and the fiscal year-end results of government-wide operations. The financial statements have been audited by the firm of Rogers, Anderson, Malody & Scott, LLP, whose Independent Auditors' Report states that, in their opinion, the financial statements are presented fairly in all material respects and are in conformance with generally accepted accounting principles (i.e., a "clean" audit opinion).

Due to the size of the document, the ACFR is included by reference in this report, and is available electronically on the City's website at
www.elcajon.gov/your-government/departments/finance/financial-reports.

Other Correspondence
The purpose of the Independent Auditors' Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting is solely to describe the scope of the auditors' testing of internal control and compliance, and the results of that testing, not to provide an opinion of the effectiveness of the City's internal control or on compliance. Given these limitations, the independent auditors did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that they consider material weaknesses or significant deficiencies.

Article XIII-B of the California Constitution establishes a statutory appropriations limit for the State and each local government within the State. The appropriations limit is adjusted annually for the cost of living and change in population. Additionally, the annual calculation of the appropriations limit is required to be reviewed as part of the annual financial audit. .!!!!_ Valley of opportunity
~ ~ ~
C'o ~ '\.o,
"'Poratel\
The Independent Accountant's Report on Agreed-Upon Procedures Applied to Appropriations Limit Worksheets, prescribed by Article XIII-B of the California Constitution, is the result of that review.

Additionally, the auditors issued a letter in accordance with the Statement on Auditing Standards 114 (SAS 114). The standard requires communication between the auditor and client to identify certain information, such as qualitative aspects of accounting practices, management representations, and other audit findings or issues, among others.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT:

This is an informational item being considered by the City Council. 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.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None.

13 Independent Auditor’s Report

To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of El Cajon, California

Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements

Opinions

We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of City of El Cajon, Califor nia (the City), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2025, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund informat ion of the City, as of June 30, 2025, and the respective changes in financial position, and, where applicable, cash flows thereof for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinions

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS) and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States (Government Auditing Standards). Our responsibilities under those standards ar e further described in the Audito r’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the City and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.

Emphasis of Matter

As described in Note 1 to the financial statements during the year ended June 30, 2025, the City adopted new accounting guidance under Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 101, Compensated Absences. Our opinions are not modified with respect to this matter.

Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principl es generally accepted in the Unit ed 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 subst antial doubt about the City’s ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months beyond the financia l statement date, including any currently known information that may raise substantial doubt shortly thereafter.

14 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 opinions. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audi t conducted in accordance with GAAS and Government 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 for 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 likelih ood 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 GAAS and Government Auditing Standards, we:

 Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.  Identify and assess the risks of material misstat ement 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 the City’s 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 condi tions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the City’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control–related matters that we identified during the audit.

Required Supplementary Information

Accounting principles generally accepted in the Un ited States of America r equire that the required supplementary information, such as management’s discussion and analysis, as listed in the table of contents, be presented to supplement the basic financial statements.

Such information is the responsibility
of management and, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an es sential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the r equired supplementary information in accordance with GAAS, which consisted of inquiries of management about the met hods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.

15 Supplementary Information

Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opi nions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements. The combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements and the nonmajor fund bu dgetary comparison schedules are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial stat ements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such informat ion directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in ac cordance with GAAS. In our opini on, the accompanying supplementary information referred to above is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.

Other Information

Management is responsible for the other information included in the annual comprehensive financial report.

The other information comprises the statistical sectio ns but does not include the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. Our opinions on the fin ancial statements do not cover the other information, and we do not express an opinion or any form of assurance thereon.

In connection with our audit of the basic financial statements, our responsib ility is to read the other information and consider whether a material incons istency exists between the other information and the financial statements, or the other information otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work performed, we conclude that an uncorrected material misstatement of the other information exists, we are required to describe it in our report.

Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards

In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated December 15, 2025 on our consideration of the City’s internal cont rol over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters.

The purpose of that report is solely to describe the sco pe of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the City’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

-2-
We were engaged by the City to perform this agreed-upon procedures engagement and conducted our engagement in accordance with attestation standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. We were not engaged to and did not conduct an examination or review, the objective of which would be the expression of an opinion or conclusion, respectively, on accompanying Appropriations Limit Worksheet for the year ended June 30, 2025.

Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion or conclusion. Had we performed additional procedures, other matters might have come to our attention that would have been reported to you.

We are required to be independent of the City and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements related to our agreed-upon procedures engagement.

This report is intended solely for the information and use of the City Council and management of the City of El Cajon, California, and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties. However, this report is a matter of public record and its distribution is not limited.

December 15, 2025

To the Honorable City Council
City of El Cajon, California

We have audited the financial statements of the City of El Cajon (the entity) as of and for the year ended June 30, 2025 , and have issued our report thereon dated December 15, 2025. Professional standards require that we advise you of the following matters relating to our audit.

Our Responsibility in Relation to the Financial Statement Audit

As communicated in our engagement letter dated May 1, 2025, our responsibility, as described by professional standards, is to form and express opinions about whether the financial statements that have been prepared by management with your oversight are presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our audit of the financial statements does not relieve you or management of your respective responsibilities.

Our responsibility, as prescribed by professional standards, is to plan and perform our audit to obtain reasonable, rather than absolute, assurance about w hether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit of financial statements includes consideration of the system of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, as part of our audit, we considered the system of internal control of the entity solely for the purpose of determining our audit procedures and not to provide any assurance concerning such internal control.

We are also responsible for communicating significant matters related to the audit that are, in our professional judgment, relevant to your responsibilit ies in overseeing the financial reporting process.

However, we are not required to design procedures for the purpose of identifying other matters to communicate to you.

Planned Scope and Timing of the Audit

We conducted our audit consistent with the planned scope and timing we previously communicated to you.

Compliance with All Ethics Requirements Regarding Independence

The engagement team, others in our firm, as appropriate, and our firm have complied with all relevant ethical requirements regarding independence.

We have evaluated whether certain nonattest services performed by our firm during the audit have created a significant threat to our independence in relation to the entity. We have i dentified a threat to our independence (preparation of the entity’s financial statements, creating a self-review threat) that if not reduced to an acceptable level, would impair our i ndependence. In order to reduce the threat to an acceptable level, we have applied the following safeguard:

Prior to the issuance of the entity’s financial statements, another partner or manager, independent of the engagement, will review the financial statements.

-2-
Significant Risks Identified

We have identified the possibility of the following significant risks:

Management's override of internal c ontrols over financial reporting – Management override of internal controls is the intervention by management in handling financial information and making decisions contrary to internal control policy.

Revenue recognition – Revenue recognition is a generally accepted accounting principle that refers to the conditions under which an entity can recognize a transaction as revenue. Auditing standards indicate that recognizing revenue is a presumed fr aud risk and usually classified as a significant risk in most audits.

These significant risks are presumptive in most audits and merit attention by the auditors due to the direct impact over financial reporting and internal control processes. Although identified as significant risks, we noted no matters of management override of controls or deviations from generally accepted accounting principles which caused us to modify our audit procedures or any related matters which are required to be communicated to those charged with governance due to these identified risks.

Qualitative Aspects of the Entity’s Significant Accounting Practices

Significant Accounting Policies

Management has the responsibility to select and use appropriate accounting policies. A summary of the significant accounting policies adopted by the entity is included in Note 1 to the financial statements. The City adopted GASB Statement No. 101, Compensated Absence, during 2025. No matters have come to our attention that would require us, under professional standards, to inform you about (1) the methods used to account for significant unusual transactions and (2 ) the effect of signific ant accounting policies in controversial or emerging areas for which there is a lack of authoritative guidance or consensus.

Significant Accounting Estimates and Related Disclosures

Accounting estimates and related disclosures are an integral part of the financial statements prepared by management and are based on management’s current judgments. Those judgments are normally based on knowledge and experience about past and current events and assumptions about future events. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to the financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting them may differ markedly from management’s current judgments.

The most sensitive accounting estimates affecting the entity’s financial statements are:

Management’s estimate of the net pension liab ility and related deferred inflows and outflows of resources are based on actuarial reports by independent actuaries. We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the estimate in determining that it is reasonable in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole and in relation to the applicable opinion units.

Management’s estimate of the liability for ot her post-employment benef its (OPEB) and related deferred inflows and outflows of resources are based on actuarial reports provided by independent actuaries. We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the estimate in determining that it is reasonable in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole and in relation to the applicable opinion units.

-3-
Management’s estimate of claims payable is based on an actuarial report by an independent actuary. We evaluated the key factors and as sumptions used to develop the estimate in determining that it is reasonable in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole and in relation to the applicable opinion units

Management’s estimate of lease and subscripti on liabilities, right-to-use assets, and asset amortization is based on present value calculations using certain terms and assumptions in the lease/subscription agreements and esti mated useful lives of assets in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. We evaluated t he key factors and assumptions used to develop the lease and subscription related estimates in deter mining that it is reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

Financial Statement Disclosures

Certain financial statement disclosures involve significant judgment and are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial statement users.

The most sensitive disclosures affecting the entity’s financial statements relate to:

The disclosure of fair value of investments in the basic financial statements represents amounts susceptible to market fluctuations.

The disclosure of capital assets (and related accumulated depreciation) in the basic financial statements is based on historical information which could differ from actual useful lives of each capitalized item.

The disclosure of net pension liability and related deferred inflows and outflows of resources in the basic financial statements is based on actuarial assumptions. Actual future liabilities and actuarial deferred inflows and outflows may vary from disclosed estimates.

The disclosures of the other post-employment benefits (OPEB) liability and related deferred inflows and outflows of resources in the basic financial statements is based on actuarial assumptions.

Actual future liabilities and actuarial deferred inflows and outflows may vary from disclosed estimates.

The disclosure of claims payable in the basic financial statements is based on claims loss reports from third party claims management companies. Act ual future liabilities may vary from disclosed estimates

The disclosure of leases receivable, deferr ed inflows of resources related to leases, lease/subscription amortization, leases/subscription liabilities, right-to-use asse ts, and asset amortization in the basic financial statements is based on certain terms and assumptions in the lease agreements which could differ from actual amounts.

Significant Difficulties Encountered during the Audit

We encountered no significant difficulties in dealing wi th management relating to the performance of the audit.

Uncorrected and Corrected Misstatements

For purposes of this communication, professional standards require us to accumulate all known and likely misstatements identified during the aud it, other than those that we belie ve are trivial, and communicate them to the appropriate level of management. Furthe r, professional standards require us to also communicate the effect of uncorrect ed misstatements related to prior periods on the relevant classes of transactions, account balances or disclosures, and the financial statements as a whole and each applicable opinion unit. There were no uncorrected misstatements noted.

In addition, professional standards require us to communicate to you all material, corrected misstatements that were brought to the attenti on of management as a result of our audit procedures. None of the misstatements identified by us as a result of our audit procedures and corrected by management were material, either individually or in the aggregate, to the financial statements taken as a whole or applicable opinion unit.

Disagreements with Management

For purposes of this letter, professional standards define a disagreement with management as a matter, whether or not resolved to our satisfaction, concerning a financial accounting, reporting, or auditing matter, which could be significant to the entity’s financial statements or the auditor’s report. No such disagreements arose during the course of the audit.

Representations Requested from Management

We have requested certain written representations from management, which are included in the attached letter dated December 15, 2025.

Management’s Consultations with Other Accountants

In some cases, management may decide to consult with other accountants about auditing and accounting matters. Management informed us that, and to our knowledge, there were no consultations with other accountants regarding auditing and accounting matters.

Other Significant Matters, Findings, or Issues

In the normal course of our professional associatio n with the entity, we generally discuss a variety of matters, including the application of accounting prin ciples and auditing standards, significant events or transactions that occurred during the year, operati ng and regulatory conditions affecting the entity, and operational plans and strategies that may affect the risks of material misstatement. None of the matters discussed resulted in a condition to our retention as the entity’s auditors.

Other Information Included in Annual Reports

Pursuant to professional standards, our responsibility as auditors for other information, whether financial or nonfinancial, included in the entity’s annual reports, does not extend beyond the information identified in the audit report, and we are not required to perform any procedures to corroborate such other information.

Nothing came to our attention that caused us to believe that such information, or its manner of presentation, is materially inconsistent wi th the information, or m anner of its presentation, appearing in the financial statements.

This report is intended solely for the information and use of the City Council and management of the entity and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.

City Council
Agenda Report
Agenda Item 11.

DATE: January 13, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Graham Mitchell, City Manager
SUBJECT: Encampment Storage Program
RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council receives the report and provides direction.

BACKGROUND:

During the semi-annual update on homeless programs on July 22, 2025, the City Council directed staff to explore the feasibility of establishing a storage program for items collected during homeless encampment cleanup activities. Since that time, staff has researched comparable programs in other jurisdictions, identified potential costs, and evaluated the benefits and drawbacks of implementing a similar program in the City.

This report describes the City’s current encampment cleanup operations, summarizes encampment storage programs in other cities, outlines the potential benefits and drawbacks of implementing a storage program (including estimated costs), and presents staff’s recommended course of action.

Current Operation
The City typically dedicates two days each week to homeless encampment cleanup activities.

During these efforts, staff inform individuals at encampment locations that camping on public property is not permitted and request that they relocate. Due to the volume of personal belongings often present at encampment sites, individuals sometimes leave items behind, which City staff must then collect and properly dispose of. Last year, the homeless encampment cleanup team removed approximately 250 tons of abandoned items--this figure does not include illegal dumping or abandoned items in the stormwater channels.

Encampment Storage Programs
Staff reviewed a sampling of encampment storage programs in jurisdictions of varying sizes and locations. Sample cities include Lemon Grove, San Diego, Baldwin Park, and Salt Lake City. For each city, staff reviewed policy guidelines and operational practices. The following areas were examined:

Impounded personal property inventory requirements,1.

Noticing requirements,2.

Location and system of storage, and3.

Staffing.4.

C'o ~ '\.o,
"'Poratel\
Each city has policies requiring personnel to distinguish personal property (such as valuables, identification, clothing, documents, and unsoiled items) from trash or hazardous waste during encampment cleanups. Items identified as waste are disposed of, while personal property is either retained by the individual or impounded into storage. In the three California jurisdictions, impounded personal property must generally be stored for up to 90 days (Salt Lake City has a 60-day requirement), after which it may be considered abandoned and disposed of.

Impounded Personal Property Inventory Requirements
Each city reviewed handles the inventory of personal property somewhat differently once it is separated from trash and hazardous materials:

In Lemon Grove, a staff member inventories and documents stored items and provides the individual with a copy of the inventory sheet along with retrieval instructions.

In San Diego, their staff photograph and video records stored items and attaches identification tags to each item.

In Baldwin Park, their staff takes before-and-after photos of the encampment site and maintains a written log of removed items.

Salt Lake City’s policy requires all retained items to be collected, labeled, and stored, with photographs and inventory tags documenting the date of removal, location, and owner (if known).

Noticing Requirements
The State of California recommends providing at least 48 hours’ notice prior to removal of encampments unless an imminent threat to life, health, safety, or infrastructure exists. Staff found the following practices among the reviewed cities:

Lemon Grove posts 72-hour notices,
San Diego posts 24-hour notices,
Baldwin Park attempts to provide up to one week’s notice prior to clean-up, and Salt Lake City posts 24-hour notices.

Location & System of Storage
Because each of these cities is different in size and number of encampments that are cleaned up, each site is different. However, the comparisons provide examples of how to operate a storage site if the City were to implement such a policy. Also, most cities do not want to advertise where the personal property is stored, to prevent break-ins and theft. Examples include:

Lemon Grove – stores tagged items at a city-owned facility under a canopy. Items are placed in 65-gallon drums stored on pallets to prevent ground moisture damage. Larger items such as bicycles and carts are also stored on pallets. Individuals may call a phone number listed on the notice or inventory sheet, and items are brought to City Hall for retrieval. Lemon Grove reports that few individuals have requested item retrieval.

San Diego – Individuals call the phone number listed on the encampment notice, and staff transport stored items to them. San Diego uses two 40-foot Conex boxes located at separate city-owned sites to facilitate access. The City reports that items are rarely impounded because advance notice typically results in individuals removing their belongings, leaving only trash behind.

Baldwin Park – Stores impounded property at the City’s maintenance yard. •
•
•
•
• • • •

Salt Lake City – Directs recovered items to a designated municipal storage facility or partner agency location under secure conditions. Limited public information is available regarding specific storage methods.

Staffing
Lemon Grove’s storage program did not require additional staffing beyond its existing encampment cleanup operations; however, labor hours allocated to cleanups increased. Each cleanup includes a staff member dedicated to documenting and inventorying items, transporting them to storage, and coordinating retrieval or disposal.

San Diego has followed similar procedures since 2023 and has not added dedicated staff positions for storage activities. While labor costs have increased, the City has not assigned a position solely to this function. No information about Baldwin Park or Salt Lake City was found.

Benefits/Drawbacks of an Encampment Storage Program
Staff identified several potential benefits and drawbacks associated with implementing an encampment storage program.

Benefits:

Aligns with Governor Newsom’s model ordinance, although such a program is not required under State law.

Some believe that storing personal property may help individuals pursue treatment or housing options, as facilities often limit the amount of belongings residents may bring with them.

Drawbacks:

Cost – Staff identified both one-time and ongoing costs associated with implementing a storage program. Assuming a basic storage setup (security fencing, awning, cement work, grading, excavation, and storage containers), initial costs are estimated between $1 million to $1.75 million. Ongoing costs would be more significant, primarily related to staffing needs for inventory, transportation, storage management, and coordination of item retrieval. Staff estimates that administering the program would require hiring one additional employee at an annual cost between $89,000 and $120,000. Implementation would also slow current encampment cleanup operations.

Low Retrieval Rates – Cities report low rates of property retrieval, limiting the overall benefit to the unhoused population.

Pick-Up Location Issues – Locating storage at the City’s Public Works Yard could attract individuals to the area and increase the risk of theft or vandalism, as has been reported in other jurisdictions.

Staff Recommendation
Based on staff’s review of comparable programs, the identified benefits and drawbacks, and the City’s current operational approach, staff does not recommend pursuing an encampment storage program at this time.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT:

Discussion and City Council feedback is not a project subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) because it is a procedural, administrative step in the process.

FISCAL IMPACT:

If the City Council were to proceed with this project, funding for the one-time costs would need to be allocated (between $1,000,000 to $1,750,000) and then staffing costs included in the FY 2026-27 budget (between $89,000 and $120,000). These costs would be General Fund expenditures.

Agenda Report
Agenda Item 12.

DATE: January 13, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Jeremiah Larson, Chief of Police
SUBJECT: Report on Arrests and Enforcement Under Proposition 36 RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council receives the report.

BACKGROUND:

The purpose of Proposition 36 was to reform prior legislation that had contributed to significant increases in homelessness, drug addiction and theft throughout California, while restoring judicial discretion and providing judges with greater flexibility to address these challenges effectively.

Since Proposition 36’s passage, overwhelmingly approved by California voters, the El Cajon Police Department has actively and aggressively enforced the laws addressed by the measure.

As a result, El Cajon has experienced positive impacts from the passage of Proposition 36, supported by the Police Department’s proactive efforts to book individuals into jail when appropriate.

California Health and Safety Code (HSC) § 11395 – “Hard drugs” Established by Proposition 36, HSC § 11395 converted the law so now, after two “hard drug” related convictions, individuals are booked into jail on a felony charge rather than receiving a misdemeanor citation.

Designated “hard drugs” include: fentanyl, heroin, cocaine, methamphetamine, and phencyclidine (PCP).

Not included: cannabis, peyote, LSD, psychedelics
California Penal Code (PC) § 666.1 PC – Petty Theft/Shoplifting Proposition 36 also adapted the law affecting individuals facing a third offense of petty theft/shoplifting. Adults with two or more prior convictions for theft-related offenses will face felony charges, are booked into jail at the time of arrest, and remain in custody until a court hearing is held.

California Penal Code (PC) § 490.3 – Aggregate Total
PC § 490.3 further provides aggregation of the value of property or merchandise stolen during multiple thefts that meet the $950 threshold can be charged for felony grand theft, regardless of the location in California where the thefts occurred. Repeat offenders are more easily charged with higher-level crimes.

Offense and Arrest Data
A year-over-year comparison shows that crime has significantly declined in the City of El Cajon.

In 2025, there were reductions in the following areas:

Robbery 32.1% decrease
Commercial Burglary 31.5% decrease
Theft of $400 or less 23.9% decrease
There were fewer dramatic decreases, but still impactful decreases in the following areas:

Auto Theft 10.9% decrease
Theft of $400 or more 20.1% decrease
Violent crime also declined in 2025, despite an increase in aggravated assaults, specifically domestic violence incidents.

The reduction of petty theft and shoplifting incidents suggests that the passage of Proposition 36 is serving as a deterrent to those crimes.
2025 Arrests for Proposition 36 drug-related offenses – 363 2025 Arrests for Proposition 36 theft-related offenses – 42 Conclusion
Proposition 36 has contributed to measurable improvements in public safety in El Cajon by holding repeat offenders accountable. The El Cajon Police Department's proactive enforcement, combined with the observed reductions in overall crime and petty theft, highlights the positive impact of the measure. Continued monitoring and enforcement will help sustain these gains and further deter criminal activity, ensuring a safer community for all residents.

This is an informational item being considered by the City Council. Therefore, it is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it is not a “project” under section 15378(b)(5) of CEQA Guidelines.

Remote Public Comments
Provide a way for the public to attend meetings and comment via a two-way telephonic or two-way audio visual platform;
Internet Service Interruptions
Adopt, at a noticed public meeting in open session, a policy on disruptions to telephonic or internet service;
Reasonable Translation Assistance
“Reasonably assist” members of the public who wish to translate a public meeting into any language or wish to receive interpretation provided by another member of the public, so long as it does not disrupt the meeting. Directions on how to request assistance must be publicized;

City Provided Agenda Translations
Agenda for each meeting, along with instructions on how to join the meeting by telephone or internet-based service option and for registering public comment, shall be translated into all “applicable languages.”

“Applicable languages” is defined in accordance with the US Census Bureau’s most recent American Community Survey, languages spoken jointly by 20% or more of the City’s population, provided that 20% or more of the population that speaks that language speaks English less than “very well”; Local Outreach
Provide a system to electronically accept and fulfill agenda requests, maintain a dedicated, accessible webpage for public meetings, and make reasonable efforts to invite groups that do not traditionally participate in meetings.

Note that the above requirements represent a brief summary and are not indicative of all requirements that SB 707 implemented. This overview is intended to highlight immediate areas requiring review and compliance planning across various departments. The estimated initial cost to implement these mandates is approximately $400,000. There will be ongoing costs and potential additional costs discovered during the construction phase.

On June 11, 2024, the City Council approved Resolution No. 083-24 for the Award of RFP #026-24 – Audio Visual Upgrades & As-Needed Support Services Re-Bid in the not-to-exceed amount of $299,997.10, to enter into a contract with EIDIM to install certain audio-visual upgrades to various City facilities. The work under that contract was completed in early 2025.

The City intends to use the Community Room, previously outfitted by EIDIM, as a backup location for City Council meetings. In order to accomplish this, both rooms should use common technology and programming in order for staff to be trained to operate both rooms interchangeably. This means the new work needed to implement SB 707’s technology requirements in the City Council Chamber will need to be fully compatible and have a common programming interface to the work that EIDIM completed previously. Therefore, EIDIM can be considered as the sole source to complete this work. EIDIM has provided the City with a proposal for the new work and the costs are in accordance with the previous costs charged the City for the previous work.

Moreover, the City must have the additional infrastructure in place immediately to ensure compliance with the July 1, 2026 deadline. If the City issues an RFP to solicit proposals, the administrative lead time required to source and integrate a new contractor could jeopardize the City’s ability to complete the improvements by the required deadline.

These are special circumstances that necessitate waiving the bidding requirements in the best interests of the City at this time. As a charter city and pursuant to El Cajon Municipal Code Chapter 3.20 and Section 3.20.010(C) specifically, the City Council can waive any public bidding requirements for any of the reasons listed above. •
•
City staff is requesting that the City Council either:

Adopt the next Resolution, in order, to:

Waive bidding requirements pursuant to ECMC section 3.20.010(C) in accordance with the findings that EIDIM is the sole source for this work, a contract with EIDIM is needed for the compatibility of the City’s audio visual equipment, that there are currently special circumstances due to a new law that implemented a short deadline for the implementation of the technology work, and that waiving is in the best interests of the City at this time; and
a.

Appropriate $400,000 of General Fund reserves and transfer to IT Services Fund;b.

Appropriate $400,000 of transferred funds to increase IT Services Fund appropriations for the SB 707 upgrade to the Video Management System; and c.

Authorize the City Manager or his designee to enter into the Audio Visual Upgrades & As-Needed Support Services Public Works Contract with EIDIM in the estimated amount of $400,000.
d.

OR
Direct Staff to issue a Request for Proposals, award, and attempt to complete mandated requirements before the July 1, 2026 deadline.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT:

Discussion and City Council action on this item is not a project subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) because it is a procedural, administrative step in the process.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of a resolution will authorize the City Manager to enter into a contract with EIDIM, and appropriate and transfer $400,000 of General Fund reserves to the IT Services Fund for the SB 707 Video Management System Upgrade.

RESOLUTION NO. ___-26

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF EL CAJON

WAIVING BIDDING REQUIREMENTS,

APPROPRIATING FUNDS,

AND AUTHORIZING A CONTRACT

FOR VIDEO MANAGEMENT SYSTEM UPGRADES
TO COMPLY WITH SENATE BILL 707

WHEREAS, Senate Bill 707 (“SB 707”), signed into law on October 3, 2025, updates the Ralph M. Brown Act to enhance transparency and public engagement, including requirements for remote public comments, translation assistance, agenda translations, and local outreach; and
WHEREAS, SB 707 mandates that cities comply with these requirements by July 1, 2026; and
WHEREAS, City staff estimates the cost to implement the required technology upgrades to comply with SB 707 is approximately $400,000; and WHEREAS, on June 11, 2024, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 083- 24 awarding RFP #026-24 to EIDIM Group, Inc. (“EIDIM”) for audio -visual upgrades to City facilities in the not to exceed amount of $299,997.10, and WHEREAS, EIDIM completed the work under RFP #026-24 in early 2025; and WHEREAS, the new work required under SB 707 must be compatible with the prior audio-visual upgrades previously completed by EIDIM , therefore EIDIM can be considered to be the sole source to provide such services; and WHEREAS, EIDIM has submitted a proposal for the new work that is consistent with its previous pricing; and
WHEREAS, issuing a new Request for Proposals would create a risk of noncompliance with SB 707’s July 1, 2026 deadline as well as potentially create non- compatibility issues with the technology, and these circumstances constitute special conditions under El Cajon Municipal Code Section 3.20.010(C), allowing the City Council to waive bidding requirements; and

WHEREAS, discussion and City Council action on this item is not a project subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) because it is a procedural, administrative step in the process; and

WHEREAS, approval of this resolution will authorize the City Manager to enter into a contract with EIDIM and appropriate and transfer $400,000 of General Fund reserves to the IT Services Fund for the SB 707 Video Management System Upgrade.

1. The foregoing recitals are true and correct and are the findings of the City Council.

2. The City Council hereby waives public bidding requirements pursuant to El Cajon Municipal Code Section 3.20.010(C) based on the findings that EIDIM is the sole source for this work, compatibility requirements, and special circumstances, and waiving bidding is in the best interests of the City.
