City Council
Agenda Report
Agenda Item 4.

DATE: 05/26/2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Mara Romano, Purchasing Agent
SUBJECT: Approval of Resolutions to Award Bid No. 002-27 – Sewer & Storm Drain Pipe Rehabilitation and Approve Plans & Specifications
RECOMMENDATION:

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

Approve Plans and Specifications for Sewer & Storm Drain Pipe Rehabilitation, Bid No. 002-27; and

2. BACKGROUND:

The Sewer & Storm Drain Pipe Rehabilitation project consists of trenchless pipe restoration, sewer and storm drain pipeline repairs with related improvements, as well as, the rehabilitation of corrugated metal storm drain pipe, sewer pipe lining, and restoration of junction structures throughout City limits. The bid includes an opportunity for the City to renew the contract for up to four optional terms, each not to exceed one year in length.

The bid was advertised on March 30, 2026. The City received four bids on April 27, 2026, and evaluated the three lowest bid submissions.

Bidders are required to obtain and include with their bids a bid security payable to the awarding authority in accordance with Public Contract Code §20170. The bid security is used as an assurance that the bidder will enter the proposed contract in accordance with its bid if the bid is accepted by the public entity. A bidder’s security may include cash, a cashier’s check, certified check, or a bid bond in an amount equal to at least 10% of the amount bid.

The second low bidder, Southwest Pipeline and Trenchless Corp., submitted a bid bond omitting a number in the bid number; “002-2”. The clerical error does not materially change the bid response and does not create an unfair advantage since the City and project name were correctly referenced; these are unique identifiers which assist in demonstrating the intent to bond the correct project. The City Council has the discretion to waive the error as immaterial for this bid in the event the second low bid is required.

11,e Valley of Opportunity

"o ~ ~')
"'Poratel\

Staff recommends the City Council adopts Resolutions, in order, to: (1) Approve the plans and specifications for the project; and (2) Find the second low bidder’s error on the bid bond a minor irregularity; and (3) Award the bid to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder, ST, in the amount of $1,685,564.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT:

The proposed Sewer & Storm Drain Pipe Rehabilitation project is categorically exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), according to section 15301, Class 1(b) of the CEQA guidelines.

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Yazmin Arellano, Director of Development Services SUBJECT: Approval of Resolution Authorizing Filing of a Grant Application for the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) Flexible Fleets Pilot Program
RECOMMENDATION:

BACKGROUND:

SANDAG is soliciting applications for its Flexible Fleets Pilot grant program. The grant program will plan, deploy, and monitor Flexible Fleets pilots aimed at expanding shared mobility travel choices, enhancing transit connections, filling transit gaps, improving air quality, and advancing the goals of the Regional Plan.

The current call for projects has $4.5 million dollars in available funding for new and enhanced pilot projects. City staff will be applying for the enhanced pilot project since the City has an existing micro-transit project in operation with two and one-half years of funding remaining on this existing project. The current micro-transit project has been successful from its original launch date of March 2025 with over 3,000 rides completed. The enhanced pilot would be a continuation of the existing project and allow for one new additional year of service.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT:

This action is not considered a “Project” pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA"). In accordance with State Guidelines section 15378(b)(5), the submittal of grant applications to the San Diego Association of Governments is an administrative activity of government.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The maximum award amount for an Enhanced Pilot project is $500,000. There is a local match of 11.47% associated with applying for this Flexible Fleets grant. If the project is awarded, it will result in the “in-kind” staff time match of $57,350 to administer the project.

DATE: 05/26/2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Mara Romano, Purchasing Agent
SUBJECT: Approval of Resolutions to Award Bid No. 024-26 – Apparatus Bay Door Replacement for the Cities of El Cajon & La Mesa and Approve Plans & Specifications
RECOMMENDATION:

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

Approve Plans and Specifications for Apparatus Bay Door Replacement for the cities of El Cajon and La Mesa, Bid No. 024-26; and

2. BACKGROUND:

The Apparatus Bay Door Replacement project is a two-city cooperative contract with the City of El Cajon as the lead agency. The project encompasses the replacement of apparatus bay doors and windows at El Cajon Fire Stations 6 and 8 and La Mesa Fire Stations 11 and 13.

The specifications include the following Additive Alternates (AA):

AA #1: La Mesa Fire Stations 11 and 13 coiling doors;
AA #2: El Cajon Fire Stations 6 and 8 one-way vision windows: and AA #3: La Mesa Fire Stations 11 and 13 one-way vision windows.

The California Public Contract Code allows the City to specify which award method will be utilized to determine the lowest bid. Per the bid specifications, the lowest bid shall be the lowest total of the bid prices on the base contract and those additive or deductive items that were specifically identified in the bid solicitation as being used for the purpose of determining the lowest bid price. For the purpose of evaluating this bid, all additive items were identified as being used for the purpose of determining the lowest bid. Even though the items are considered for this purpose, this language does not require the City to include the additive items in the contract after the lowest responsible bidder has been determined. After examining the bids, all Additive Alternates will be included in the award.

11,e Valley of Opportunity
~ ~ ~-
"o ~ ~')
"'Poratel\

The bid was advertised on February 23, 2026. The City received three bids on April 23, 2026, and evaluated the bid submissions.

Bidders are required to obtain and include with their bids a bid security payable to the awarding authority in accordance with Public Contract Code §20170. The bid security is used as an assurance that the bidder will enter the proposed contract in accordance with its bid if the bid is accepted by the public entity. A bidder’s security may include cash, a cashier’s check, a certified check, or a bid bond in an amount equal to at least 10% of the amount bid.

The apparent low bidder, IDODC, submitted a bid bond citing the project “City of El Cajon Fire Stations 6,8,11,13 - Remove/Replace Coiling Doors.” The clerical error does not materially change the bid response and does not create an unfair advantage since the project named referenced the City, the stations, and coiling doors as cited in the specifications; these are unique identifiers which assist in demonstrating the intent to bond the correct project. The City Council has the discretion to waive the error as immaterial for this bid.

If awarded, IDODC will be required to amend the bid bond with the project name, “Apparatus Bay Door Replacement for the Cities of El Cajon & La Mesa.” Additionally, the second low bidder, Controlled Entry Specialists, Inc. (CESI), did not submit a bid bond and required documentation to comprise a complete bid. CESI failed to submit City forms: Noncollusion Declaration, Designation of Worker Classifications, Designation of Subcontractors, Bidder’s Statement Regarding Insurance Coverage, Experience Statement, California Air Resources Board Off-Road Diesel Regulation Amendments, and Bidder’s Organizational Information, making its bid non-responsive.

An increase to the existing project budget in the amount of $71,500 is requested to cover the award amount and for unforeseen circumstances. The appropriation of additional funds will increase the total project amount from $742,000 to $813,500.

Staff recommends the City Council adopts Resolutions, in order, to: (1) Approve the plans and specifications for the project; and (2) Find the low bidder’s project name cited on the bid bond a minor irregularity and the second low bidder non-responsive for the reason cited above; (3) Award the bid to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder, IDODC, in the amount of $1,293,000 contingent upon the requirement as set forth in this agenda report. The City of El Cajon’s portion of the award is $763,500. If conditions are not met, reject and rebid the project; and (4) Appropriate $71,500 of City Capital Improvement Fund (501) fund balance to increase the budget for the Fire Station Bay Doors (263973PWCP).

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT:

The proposed Apparatus Bay Door Replacement project is categorically exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), according to section 15301, Class 1(b) of the CEQA guidelines. Section 15301 contains an exemption for the maintenance of existing facilities.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The City of El Cajon’s fiscal impact is $763,500. Sufficient funds are included in Fire Station Bay Doors (263973PWCP) budget and contingent upon approval of additional funding.

Approval of this action will decrease City Capital Improvement Fund (501) fund balance and increase the Fire Station Bay Doors (236973PWCP) project budget by $71,500 for a total project budget of $813,500.

Description:

Replacement of the current apparatus bay doors and motors at various fire stations with new and reliable upgrades. Project includes parts and installation/labor.

Justification:

The apparatus bay doors at several of the busiest fire stations in the City are cycled numerous times in a 24-hour period. Over the years, the doors and motors have continued to fail, impacting response times to emergency incidents. The increase in broken/non-functioning door incidents throughout the year has increased the security concerns at the fire stations. When the doors are not able to be secured safely, unauthorized persons can gain access to the interior of our buildings, allowing for an increase in crimes on City property.

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Dave Richards, Director of Public Works Operations SUBJECT: Approval of Resolution Authorizing Traffic Collision Vehicle Replacements RECOMMENDATION:

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

Authorize the replacement of a Ford Explorer unit #42094 and a Ford F-150 unit #42075; and

1. Appropriate $270,000 from the Vehicle Replacement Fund balance to the City's Vehicle-Equipment Replacement account.

2. BACKGROUND:

Over the past six-months, two Police Department vehicles have been totaled while in the performance of official duties. In each instance, the cost to repair the vehicles exceeded the pre-collision value leading to a total loss. In both cases, the City has filed insurance claims.

The City's cost to replace the vehicles is up to $135,000 each. The actual cost will vary depending on when Ford is accepting orders and what model year is available at that time.

It is recommended that the City Council authorizes the replacement of units 42075 and 42094 and appropriates $270,000 from the Vehicle Replacement Fund balance to the City's Vehicle Equipment Replacement account.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT:

This action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") in accordance with State CEQA Guidelines section 15378(b)(2). The vehicle replacements will not result in any direct or indirect physical change in the environment because it solely provides authorization and appropriation to purchase equipment.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This request would appropriate $270,000 from the Vehicle Replacement Fund Balance (606) to Vehicle-Equipment Replacement (606895) in Fiscal Year 2025-26. There are sufficient funds available in the Vehicle Replacement Fund.

The City will receive reimbursement for the cost of the replacement vehicles, minus two $25,000 deductibles, for a net cost of $50,000. All insurance reimbursements and costs recovered will be returned to the Vehicle Replacement account (606).

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Graham Mitchell, City Manager
SUBJECT: Contribution to Miss El Cajon Pageant Organization RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council approves a contribution in the amount of $2,500 to the Miss El Cajon Pageant Organization.

BACKGROUND:

The local non-profit Miss El Cajon Pageant Organization has requested a monetary contribution of $2,500. The Miss El Cajon Pageant Organization will use the funds to continue providing scholarships and betterment workshops for pageant participants.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT:

The proposed monetary contribution to the Miss El Cajon Pageant Organization is not a “Project” as defined under section 15378(b)(4) of the State CEQA Guidelines, because it is a government fiscal activity which does not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The $2,500 contribution is available in the City Council Contingency Annual Budget (101101).

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Noah Alvey, Deputy Director of Development Services SUBJECT: Public Hearing to Consider CEQA Exemption, Planned Unit Development, and Tentative Subdivision Map for an 11-Unit Residential Project 1426 Granite Hills Drive
RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council:

Opens the public hearing and receives testimony;1.

Closes the public hearing;2.

Moves to adopt the next Resolution, in order, APPROVING the CEQA Determination of Exemption;

3. Moves to adopt the next Resolution, in order, APPROVING Planned Unit Development No. 2025-0002, subject to conditions; and

4. Moves to adopt the next Resolution, in order, APPROVING Tentative Subdivision Map No. 2025-0017, subject to conditions.

5. PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

The proposed project is a common interest development consisting of eleven (11) residential sublots, each developed with a detached single-family residence, an attached two-car garage, private yard area, and supplemental on-site parking. The project also includes one (1) common lot to accommodate a private street, utilities, landscaping, and common recreational open space, along with associated private and public improvements. The project site is approximately 1.11 acres and is addressed as 1426 Granite Hills Drive.

BACKGROUND:

General Plan: Low Density Residential (LR)
Specific Plan: None
Zone: Residential, Single-family, 9,000 sq. ft. (RS-9)
Other City Plan(s): None
Regional and State
Plan(s):

None
Notable State Law(s): Subdivision Map Act; Government Code Section 65860 (General Plan Consistency)
Applicant: Priest Development Corporation; Travis Lyon; (619) 952-8607 Project Site & Constraints
The subject property is a long, rectangular lot totaling 54,709 gross square feet (1.11 net acres), located on the north side of Granite Hills Drive between Dorothy Street and Jamacha Road. The site is currently developed with a single-family residence proposed for demolition.

The project site is generally level, with only minor elevation variation of a few feet between the eastern and western property boundaries. Apart from this gradual change in grade, the site is not known to be constrained by significant physical features—such as geologic hazards, waterways, or protected environmental resources—that would preclude residential development.

Surrounding Context
The properties surrounding the project site are developed and zoned as follows:

Direction Zones Land Uses
North RM-2500 Multi-family Residential
South RS-6 Single-family Residential
East RS-6 Common Interest Development
West RS-6 Common Interest Development
General Plan
The subject property is designated Low Density Residential (“LR”) on the General Plan Land Use Map. This designation permits a maximum residential density of 10 dwelling units per acre. The project proposes a density of less than 10 dwelling units per acre and, pursuant to California Government Code section 65860 and the density standards of the Planned Unit Development (“PUD”) permit, is consistent with the LR designation.

The project supports General Plan Goal 5, which calls for a range of housing types to meet the needs of various age and income groups. Specifically, the project advances:

Objective 5-1 (improving residential neighborhoods), and Objective 5-3 (increasing opportunities for homeownership).

The project is also consistent with the 2021–2029 Housing Element, including:

Objective 1 (accommodating housing at all income levels), and Objective 2 and Policy 2-3 (enhancing residential neighborhoods).

The site is included in the Housing Element Sites Inventory, which plans for four (4) dwelling units at the site. Pursuant to Government Code section 65863 (No Net Loss Law), the City monitors development to ensure adequate site capacity. The proposed 11-unit project results in a net increase of seven (7) units relative to anticipated site capacity and contributes to maintaining compliance with Housing Element requirements.

The proposed project results in the redevelopment of an underutilized residential property and will include market-rate housing units for sale that contribute to meeting the goal of fulfilling regional housing needs.

Municipal Code/Zoning Code
The subject property is within the RS-9 (Residential, Single-family, 9,000 square foot) zone.

The RS-9 zone authorizes one primary dwelling unit per legally established lot. Government Code Section 65860 allows the project to be developed at 10 du/acre—consistent with the General Plan—while the remaining RS-9 and PUD development standards continue to apply.

A Planned Unit Development may be established in any residential zone in accordance with Chapter 17.60 of the El Cajon Municipal Code (“ECMC”). The purpose of the PUD regulations is to facilitate comprehensively planned development and to provide flexibility in development standards in order to encourage imaginative design and efficient land use. Any use permitted or conditionally permitted in the underlying zone may be permitted within a PUD. Specific development standards applicable to PUDs include provisions related to parking, open space, landscaping, building design, utility systems, refuse collection, and the establishment of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (“CC&Rs”).

Subdivision Ordinance/Subdivision Map Act
A tentative subdivision map is proposed to create real property. Tentative Subdivision Map (“TSM”) No. 2025-0017 proposes a twelve (12) lot common interest subdivision consisting of eleven (11) residential lots and one (1) common lot for a private street and utilities. The authority and procedures for processing a tentative subdivision map are established by the Subdivision Map Act and ECMC Title 16.

DISCUSSION
Land Use
The single-family residences in the proposed PUD are situated on either side of a private street, which includes a fire apparatus turnaround (hammerhead) at the northerly end of the site. The turnaround is provided in compliance with California Fire Code requirements related to emergency access.

Each residence is served by an attached two-car garage and a private driveway. The driveways, which are a minimum of 22 feet, six inches in depth, also provide supplemental parking for residents and guests. A four-foot-wide pedestrian sidewalk runs along the private street and connects the public right-of-way to the individual residences and the common recreation area.

The proposed private street is 24 feet in width and is accessed from a new driveway connection to Granite Hills Drive, which will be constructed in accordance with applicable regional standards. Public improvements include: curb, gutter, and sidewalk along the project frontage, as well as storm drain improvements and street overlay.

Each residence includes private rear and side yard areas which, in combination with the common open space, satisfy applicable recreational open space requirements. The conceptual landscape plan provides for the installation of trees, shrubs, and groundcover along the project frontage and throughout the site. A condition of approval requires the submittal and approval of a landscape documentation package (“LDP”) in compliance with Chapter 17.195 of the Zoning Code.

The proposed residential units utilize a consistent floor plan in both standard and mirrored orientations, resulting in a cohesive but varied streetscape. Sub-lot sizes range from approximately 3,000 to 4,000 square feet. The residences are set back approximately 15 feet from the frontage on Granite Hills Drive, 10 to 12 feet from the private street, and a minimum of 5 feet from interior side property lines (resulting in 10 feet of separation between structures in the development). A minimum 10-foot setback is also provided from adjacent neighboring lots.

Trash and recycling service will be provided to each residence and accommodated within private side yard areas.

Grading and Drainage
Preliminary grading estimates indicate approximately 2,198 cubic yards of cut and fill, with no import or export required. Grading is necessary to establish building pads, facilitate drainage, and connect to existing utility systems. A retaining wall of approximately three (3) feet in height is anticipated along portions of the westerly property line.

Storm water will be conveyed through an onsite drainage system designed to direct flows to an existing discharge point.

Ownership & Maintenance
As a common interest development, the project requires the formation of a homeowner’s association (“HOA”) and the recordation of CC&Rs. The HOA will be responsible for the ownership and ongoing maintenance of the common lot, including the private street, landscaping, utilities, and storm water facilities.

Design and Architecture
PUD regulations require that the architecture and design of a project be evaluated for conformance with the City’s Architectural Guidelines (ECMC Chapter 17.180). These guidelines emphasize quality design, visual interest, and compatibility with surrounding development.

The proposed residences are contemporary in design and incorporate articulated facades, including entry porches, wall plane variations, and a mix of exterior materials such as stucco, decorative stone veneer, and fiber cement siding. Additional architectural detailing includes decorative window trim and horizontal banding elements. The color palette consists of neutral and earth tones that complement the building materials. Roofs are proposed to be concrete tile.

Each residence is approximately 2,222 square feet in size and includes five (5) bedrooms and three (3) bathrooms. Attached garages are approximately 480 square feet and include space for laundry and mechanical equipment.

PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:

On May 5, 2026, the El Cajon Planning Commission ("Commission") held a public hearing for the proposed project. The project applicant thanked the Commission for their consideration and there were no other speakers. The commission generally felt that the proposed project was well-designed. The Commission voted 4-0, with Commissioner Mroz abstaining, to adopt Resolutions Nos. 11199, 11200, & 11201, recommending City Council approval.

FINDINGS:

Planned Unit Development No. 2025-0002

The density of the proposed PUD is consistent with the general plan.1.

The density of the proposed PUD is consistent with the general plan. The project site is designated Low Density Residential on the General Plan Land Use Map which permits a maximum density of 10 dwelling units per acre. The project proposes 11 dwelling units on a

1.11 acre parcel resulting in a net density of less than 10 dwelling units per acre, which is within the Low Density Residential designation density limit.

I I I I
The approval of any alternative development standards for the proposed PUD is in the public interest.

2. The project complies with applicable development standards and facilitates the redevelopment of an underutilized residential property, providing additional homeownership opportunities consistent with General Plan and Housing Element policies.

The proposed PUD is compatible with surrounding development.3.

The proposed PUD is compatible with surrounding development as it is similar in density and design to other directly adjacent common interest developments. Proposed residences observe the RS-9 height limit and are also two stories, consistent with the scale and height of surrounding single-family dwelling units. Proposed grading and site development is also consistent with surrounding development along Granite Hills Drive, including PUD No. 127 adjacent to the west and PUD No. 134 adjacent to the east.

The location of structures, private streets, driveways, and parking spaces on the proposed PUD site plan will not result in unauthorized parking, which would block or hamper vehicular movement or unnecessarily affect visibility on the private street or driveway.

4. The design of the proposed project provides sufficient parking and adequate driveway and backup space for the safe maneuvering of vehicles. Proposed structures meet or exceed minimum setback requirements and would not have a negative effect on visibility.

Furthermore, the project design provides for a fire apparatus turnaround for the safe maneuvering of emergency response vehicles, consistent with the California Fire Code.

Tentative Subdivision Map No. 2025-0017
Section 66474 of the Subdivision Map Act and section 16.12.090 of the ECMC state that the City shall deny approval of a subdivision map if the City’s legislative body makes any of the following findings:

The proposed map is not consistent with the General Plan and any applicable specific plan.

1. The proposed map is consistent with the General Plan and General Plan goals related to housing that seek to provide a variety of residential development opportunities in the City and improve the quality of residential neighborhoods.

The design or improvement of the proposed subdivision is not consistent with the General Plan, and the site is not physically suitable for the type of development and proposed density.

2. The proposed map design results in a common interest residential project, which is consistent with the goals and objectives of the General Plan. Furthermore, the site is physically suited for the type of development, as well as the density of the development, that is proposed for this property.

The design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements is likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat.

3. The project site has no habitat value as it is in an urbanized area and bordered by developed properties. The subject property is also in a disturbed condition due to its previous development with a single-family home. There are no fish or wildlife populations that would be harmed by the residential development of the subject property.

The design of the subdivision or type of improvements is likely to cause serious health problems.

4. The design of the subdivision and its improvements are required to incorporate storm water management facilities that will contribute to healthier streams, rivers, bays, and the ocean.

Further, there are no known hazardous conditions at the site as it is not identified in any list or database compiled pursuant to Government Code section 65962.5.

The design of the subdivision or type of improvements will conflict with easements acquired by the public at large for access through or use of property within the subdivision.

5. The proposed map will not conflict with easements of record or easements established by court judgment, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of property within the proposed map.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT:

The proposed project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to section 15332 (In-fill Development Projects). The following measuring criteria apply to the In-fill Development Project exemption: the project is consistent with the General Plan designation; the proposal is within the city limits on a site less than five acres, surrounded by substantially urban uses; the project site has no value as natural habitat; approval would not result in significant effects related to traffic, noise, air, or water quality; and, the site can be adequately served by required utilities. Therefore, section 15332 is an appropriate exemption for this project.

PUBLIC NOTICE & INPUT:

Notice of this public hearing was mailed on May 15, 2026, to all property owners within 300 feet of the project site and to anyone who requested such notice in writing, in compliance with Government Code sections 65090, 65091, and 65092, as applicable. Additionally, as a public service, the notice was posted in the kiosk at City Hall and on the City’s website under “Public Hearings/Public Notices.” The notice was also mailed to the two public libraries in the City of El Cajon, located at 201 East Douglas Avenue and 576 Garfield Avenue.

City staff did not receive any comments in response to the Notice of Public Hearing prior to preparation of this report. Comments received after publication will be presented to the City Council at the hearing.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the next Resolutions, in order, approving the CEQA Determination of Exemption and conditionally approving PUD-2025-0002 and TSM-2025-0017. The proposed PUD results in the redevelopment of an underutilized parcel and increases home ownership opportunities in El Cajon in conformance with General Plan and Housing Element goals.

Section 1. That the foregoing recitals are true and correct, and are findings of fact of the El Cajon City Council in regard to the proposed exemptions for the Planned Unit Development and Tentative Subdivision Map.

Section 2. The El Cajon City Council hereby further finds that the record in this proceeding includes evidence to support the following:

Page 2 of 3 ends

A. The project site is designated Low Density Residential on the General Plan Land Use Map, which permits a maximum density of 10 dwelling units per acre, and is included in the Housing Element Sites Inventory. The Planned Unit Development proposes eleven (11) dwelling units on an approximately

1.11-acre parcel at a net density of approximately 10 dwelling units per acre, which is consistent with the Low Density Residential designation density limit. The project is also consistent with General Plan Goal 5, whi ch encourages the development of a broad range of housing types to meet the needs of various age and income groups, and Housing Element objectives related to improving residential neighborhoods and increasing housing opportunities. Moreover, the project complies with applicable Zoning Code regulations in conjunction with the Planned Unit Development provisions of the Municipal Code.

B. The project site is located within the city limits, has a site area of less than five acres, and is surrounded by urban uses consisting primarily of single- family residential and common interest residential developments.

C. The project site has no habitat value as it is located within a fully urbanized area and is bordered by developed properties. The subject site is in a disturbed condition due to its existing development with a single- family residence proposed for demolition. There is no record of endangered, rare, or threatened species in the vicinity. Furthermore, project data reported no protected or sensitive biological resources on the project site or in the surrounding area.

All land uses are subject to El Cajon Municipal Code (“ECMC”) Chapter

17.115 performance standards for noise and air qual ity, which will be applied through project design and operation. In addition, the project will be required to comply with all applicable storm water regulations established in ECMC Chapter 16.60, ensuring that water quality impacts are avoided.

E. All required utilities and public services are available in the vicinity of the subject site and are expected to adequately serve the project. Service confirmation is further required as a condition of Subdivision Map approval.

F. The proposed project will not result in any specific or general exceptions to the use of the categorical exemption as detailed under State CEQA Guidelines section 15300.2 which might otherwise preclude use of the exemption. Cumulative effects from successive projects are unlikely to occur given that the project proposes a permitted residential use that is consistent with residential densities anticipated under the Genera l Plan .

Page 3 of 3 ends

The project does not involve any other unusual circumstances that could potentially have a significant effect on the environment. The project site is not located along a designated scenic highway . The project site is not a hazardous waste site nor is it identified in any list compiled pursuant to Government Code section 65962.5, such as the Department of Toxic Substances Control EnviroStor database or the State Water Resources Control Board GeoTracker database. Historic resources will not be impacted as the project site is not included in the City of El Cajon Historic Preservation Inventory.

Section 3. That based upon said findings of fact, the El Cajon City Council hereby APPROVES the proposed categorical exemption (CEQA Guidelines section 15332) for Planned Unit Development No. 2025-0002 and Tentative Subdivision Map No. 2025-0017.

PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 11199

A RESOLUTION RECOMMENDING CITY COUNCIL APPROVAL OF
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT ("CEQA")
CATEGORICAL EXEMPTION 15332 (IN-FILL DEVELOPMENT) FOR
PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT NO. 2025-0002 AND TENTATIVE
SUBDIVISION MAP NO. 2025-0017.

WHEREAS, the El Cajon Planning Commission held a duly advertised public hearing on May 5, 2026, to consider Planned Unit Development No. 2025-0002 and Tentative Subdivision Map No. 2025-0017 for a twelve (12) lot common interest subdivision consisting of eleven (11) residential lots and a common lot for a private street and utilities on the north side of Granite Hills Drive between Dorothy Street and Jamacha Road, Assessor Parcel Number (APN) 514-021-15-00; and
WHEREAS, the proposed project would involve the demolition of an existing single-family residence and the clearing and grubbing of the property for the construction of eleven (11) single-family residences, private street, and appurtenant improvements; and
WHEREAS, in accordance with CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(2), and prior to making a recommendation to the City Council, the Planning Commission reviewed and considered the information contained in the project staff report; and WHEREAS, it is proposed that the project is categorically exempt from the environmental review requirements of CEQA pursuant to section 15332 (In-fill Development) of the CEQA Guidelines, which allows for in-fill development in urbanized areas, as the record of proceedings contains evidence to support the determination that the Class 32 Categorical Exemption applies; and
WHEREAS, no evidence was presented in proceedings that any of the conditions exist to provide exceptions to categorical exemptions as described in CEQA Guidelines section 15300.2, exist; and
WHEREAS, after considering evidence and facts, the Planning Commission considered Categorical Exemption, section 15332 as presented at its meeting; and NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the El Cajon Planning Commission as follows:

Section 1. That the foregoing recitals are true and correct, and are findings of fact of the El Cajon Planning Commission in regard to the proposed exemptions for the Planned Unit Development and Tentative Subdivision Map.

Section 2. The El Cajon Planning Commission hereby further finds that the record in this proceeding includes evidence to support the following:

Planning Commission Resolution No. 11199
A The project site is designated Low Density Residential on the General Plan Land Use Map, which permits a maximum density of 10 dwelling units per acre, and is included in the Housing Element Sites Inventory. The Planned Unit Development proposes eleven (11) dwelling units on an approximately 1.11-acre parcel at a net density of approximately 10 dwelling units per acre, which is consistent with the Low Density Residential designation density limit. The project is also consistent with General Plan Goal 5, which encourages the development of a broad range of housing types to meet the needs of various age and income groups, and Housing Element objectives related to improving residential neighborhoods and increasing housing opportunities. Moreover, the project complies with applicable Zoning Code regulations in conjunction with the Planned Unit Development provisions of the Municipal Code.

B. The project site is located within the city limits, has a site area of less than five acres, and is surrounded by urban uses consisting primarily of single family residential and common interest residential developments.

C. The project site has no habitat value as it is located within a fully urbanized area and is bordered by developed properties. The subject site is in a disturbed condition due to its existing development with a single-family residence proposed for demolition. There is no record of endangered, rare, or threatened species in the vicinity. Furthermore, project data reported no protected or sensitive biological resources on the project site or in the surrounding area.

D. The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan and applicable development standards and is not anticipated to result in significant impacts related to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality. The project is of a scale and density typical for residential infill development and is not expected to generate a substantial increase in vehicle trips relative to surrounding uses. All land uses are subject to El Cajon Municipal Code ("ECMC") Chapter 17.115 performance standards for noise and air quality, which will be applied through project design and operation. In addition, the project will be required to comply with all applicable storm water regulations established in ECMC Chapter 16.60, ensuring that water quality impacts are avoided.

Planning Commission Resolution No. 11199
exemption. Cumulative effects from successive projects are unlikely to occur given that the project proposes a permitted residential use that is consistent with residential densities anticipated under the General Plan.

The project does not involve any other unusual circumstances that could potentially have a significant effect on the environment. The project site is not located along a designated scenic highway. The project site is not a hazardous waste site nor is it identified in any list compiled pursuant to Government Code section 65962.5, such as the Department of Toxic Substances Control EnviroStor database or the State Water Resources Control Board GeoTracker database. Historic resources will not be impacted as the project site is not included in the City of El Cajon Historic Preservation Inventory.

Section 3. That based upon said findings of fact, the El Cajon Planning Commission hereby RECOMMENDS City Council APPROVAL of the proposed CEQA exemption for Planned Unit Development No. 2025-0002 and Tentative Subdivision Map No. 2025-0017.

WHEREAS, at the public hearing the Planning Commission received evidence through public testimony and comment, in the form of verbal and written communications and reports prepared and presented to the Planning Commission, including (but not limited to) evidence such as the following:

C. The proposed PUD is compatible with surrounding development as it is similar in density and design to other directly adjacent common interest developments.

Proposed residences observe the RS-9 height limit and are also two stories, consistent with the scale and height of surrounding single-family dwelling units.

Proposed grading and site development is also consistent with surrounding Planning Commission Resolution No. 11200
development along Granite Hills Drive, including PUD No. 127 adjacent to the west and PUD No. 134 adjacent to the east.

Agenda Report
Agenda Item 11.

DATE: 05/26/2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Nate Prescott, Senior Management Analyst
SUBJECT: Funding Commitment for the East County Revolving Loan Fund RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council:

Increases the Fiscal Year 2026 Economic Development (101112) appropriations by $300,000 from General Fund Carryover Reserves; and

1. Authorizes an expenditure of the funds to the Empower East County Business Revolving Loan Fund as detailed in the report.

2. BACKGROUND:

In 2023, the City Council heard a presentation from City staff and the East County Economic Development Council (ECEDC) about the potential for an East County Revolving Loan Fund.

The ECEDC asked the east county cities to commit funds to the project, with El Cajon’s share being $300,000; at the time, the City Council was supportive. Staff committed that as the project moved forward, we would return with an update and a formal request for a budget amendment.

The ECEDC successfully secured a U.S. Economic Development Administration (U.S. EDA) grant to help fund the project. As such, the ECEDC can now create the revolving loan fund (RLF) to help east county businesses, and El Cajon businesses could greatly benefit from it. A revolving loan fund is a business funding mechanism that gives low-interest loans to promising businesses and/or higher interest loans to riskier businesses who have been turned away from traditional lending institutions. By providing loans to businesses in need, the ECEDC is able to inject capital into the business community. As the loans are repaid, the principal and interest both go back into the fund and can be reused for new loans. This allows the fund to continue growing and aiding more businesses in the future. Revolving loan funds are a highly successful and beneficial economic development tool.

Since Redevelopment was eliminated in 2012, there have been very few ways for local governments to financially incentivize new business and development, especially smaller businesses. The RLF gives us a tool to facilitate growth. This program will be especially valuable to start-ups, giving them an avenue to purchase equipment, machinery, inventory, or even working capital. The program also benefits existing businesses, providing an opportunity for all the same investments, as well as building renovations, construction, and other business expansion investments.

With a $300,000 contribution from the City, local businesses would gain access to a revolving loan fund totaling approximately $800,000. The fund will be comprised of seed money from the City of El Cajon, the County of San Diego, three other east county cities, and federal funds from the U.S. EDA.

Because the original conversations and support happened in 2023, no budget allocation has been made. Staff recommends allocating $300,000 from the General Fund Reserves toward this economic development program. The ECEDC will administrate the Empower East County Revolving Loan Fund, and the City would be one of the contributors to the seed fund.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT:

The proposed action is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines section 15378(b)(5), as it is an organizational activity of government that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this action will reduce the General Fund Carryover Reserve by $300,000 and increase the Fiscal Year 2026 Economic Development (101112) appropriations by the same amount. This is a one-time expense, and management and administration of the loans and borrowers are entirely handled by the ECEDC. The City will not be reimbursed for this contribution to the Revolving Loan Fund, but the City will indirectly benefit from this program by increasing investment in the City, helping fund new development and new businesses, and increasing sales tax through new business ventures. If successful, the long term effect will be a positive impact on General Fund revenue.

Empower East County Business Fund
Revolving Loan Fund Programmatic Overview and Status Update To City of El Cajon
From East County Economic Development Council
Date 5/13/26
Subject Programmatic Overview and Status Update for the Empower East County Business Fund Revolving Loan Fund

Purpose: This overview is intended to help participating city officials, staff, and stakeholders understand the purpose of the Empower East County Business Fund, how the Revolving Loan Fund will operate, what role ECEDC will play in administering the program, and how local partners can support implementation, outreach, and long-term program success.

Executive Summary
The Empower East County Business Fund is a regional revolving loan fund designed to expand access to flexible capital for small businesses and entrepreneurs in East County. The program will provide gap financing to businesses that are viable but unable to secure sufficient financing through traditional lending channels.

The fund will be capitalized as an $800,000 revolving loan fund, consisting of a $400,000 federal investment from the U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA) and $400,000 in local matching funds from city partners. Loans will generally be available up to $50,000 and may be used for eligible business needs such as working capital, equipment, construction, installation, renovation, and business expansion.

The eligible service area includes El Cajon, Santee, La Mesa, Lemon Grove, and unincorporated East County. The program is intended to support small businesses, start-ups, business expansions, and business retention projects that advance local economic development, job creation, and long-term business stability.

A key feature of the program is its connection to Small Business Development Center (SBDC) technical assistance. Borrowers and prospective borrowers may be connected with advising

East County Economic Development Council | Empower East County Business Fund | Program Overview 2 support related to business planning, financial projections, loan readiness, operations, marketing, and growth strategy. This structure pairs capital with business support, increasing the likelihood that borrowers are prepared to use funds effectively and repay the loan successfully.

The fund is structured as a revolving loan fund, so borrower repayments will return to the fund and may be redeployed to support additional businesses over time. This allows the initial federal and local investment to become a long-term regional economic development tool.

Background
Access to capital is a continuing challenge for many small businesses and entrepreneurs in East County. While traditional commercial lenders remain an important part of the financing ecosystem, many small businesses are unable to obtain full financing due to limited collateral, insufficient operating history, credit constraints, lack of owner equity, or project risks that fall outside conventional bank underwriting standards.

This challenge is particularly significant for start-ups, microbusinesses, expanding small businesses, and businesses located in communities where access to flexible financing is limited. These businesses may be viable and capable of growth, but they often need smaller, more flexible financing than traditional lenders are willing or able to provide.

The Empower East County Business Fund is intended to help address that gap. The fund will provide loans to eligible businesses that cannot obtain sufficient conventional financing on terms that allow the proposed business activity to move forward. The RLF is not intended to replace private financing where conventional credit is available. Instead, it is designed to fill a financing gap, support borrower readiness, and help local businesses invest in growth, stabilization, equipment, working capital, and job creation.

The program aligns with broader regional economic development goals, including local business growth, entrepreneurship, increased economic opportunity in underserved areas, job creation, and long-term economic resilience.

Program Overview
The Empower East County Business Fund will operate as a public-sector financing tool for small businesses and entrepreneurs in East County. The program will provide loans to eligible borrowers for business activities that support economic development, job creation, job retention, and business growth.

The core program framework is summarized below:

Program Element Description
Program Name Empower East County Business Fund
Program Type Revolving Loan Fund
East County Economic Development Council | Empower East County Business Fund | Program Overview 3 Total Fund Size $800,000
Federal Funding $400,000 from the U.S. Economic Development Administration Local Match / Partner Funding $400,000 from local city partners Eligible Service Area El Cajon, Santee, La Mesa, Lemon Grove, and unincorporated East County Target Borrowers Small businesses, entrepreneurs, start-ups, business expansions, and business retention projects
Loan Size $1000 to $50,000
Eligible Uses Working capital, inventory, machinery, equipment, construction, installation, renovation, and business expansion
Technical Assistance SBDC advising and business support Fund Model Revolving structure; repayments are reinvested into future loans

Eligible borrowers may include for-profit businesses, start-ups, existing small businesses, expanding businesses, and businesses involved in commercial, retail, service, industrial, high- tech, and office uses. Borrowers must be operating legally, current on applicable taxes, fees, and licenses, and unable to obtain full financing through conventional methods.

The fund is intended to be flexible enough to respond to a range of business needs while maintaining prudent lending standards. Loans may support working capital, equipment purchases, inventory, construction or installation costs, renovation of commercial or industrial space, and other eligible business development activities.

Need and Rationale
The RLF is needed because many small businesses in East County face a financing gap between what they need to grow or stabilize and what traditional lenders are willing to provide.

This may occur when a business is too new, lacks sufficient collateral, has limited owner equity, needs a smaller loan amount, or operates in a sector or location that lenders view as higher risk.

The local capital market can be especially difficult for entrepreneurs, microbusinesses, and businesses planning expansion. Conventional lenders often require significant collateral, strong credit history, and demonstrated cash flow. While these requirements are appropriate for traditional lending, they can leave otherwise viable small businesses without access to the capital needed to move forward.

The Empower East County Business Fund is designed to address this issue by providing a targeted source of flexible financing. The program can support businesses that are not yet fully East County Economic Development Council | Empower East County Business Fund | Program Overview 4 bankable but demonstrate reasonable repayment ability, business viability, and community benefit.

Local Economic Development Objectives
Objective Program Role
Small Business Growth Help businesses access capital for equipment, inventory, working capital, facility improvements, and expansion.

Job Creation and Retention
Support businesses that create or retain permanent jobs in East County.

The portfolio standard is at least one full-time job created or retained for every $50,000 lent.

Local Economic Resilience Help businesses remain, expand, and invest locally, strengthening commercial corridors and reducing business displacement.

Entrepreneurship and Business
Formation
Support entrepreneurs and start-ups that need early-stage capital but do not yet meet all conventional lending standards.

Long-Term Regional
Reinvestment
Use borrower repayments to support future loans, creating a sustainable financing tool beyond the initial deployment of capital.

Program Structure and Delivery
The Empower East County Business Fund will be administered by the East County Economic Development Council. ECEDC staff will manage the day-to-day administration of the fund, including outreach, application intake, underwriting, loan packaging, committee coordination, documentation, closing, servicing, monitoring, and federal reporting.

The program is structured to balance access to capital with responsible fund management.

While the goal is to support businesses that may not qualify for full conventional financing, each loan must still be reviewed for repayment ability, business viability, eligible use of funds, collateral, and community benefit.

Application and Underwriting Process
Prospective borrowers will submit a loan application and supporting documentation.

Depending on the nature of the business and loan request, required materials may include:
• Loan application;
• Business plan;
• Sources and uses of funds;
• Business tax returns or financial statements, if applicable; • Personal tax returns for business principals;
• Current balance sheet and profit and loss statement, if applicable; • Financial projections;
• Personal financial statement and resume for principals; East County Economic Development Council | Empower East County Business Fund | Program Overview 5 • Lease agreements, purchase agreements, estimates, appraisals, or other project- specific documentation, if applicable.

ECEDC staff will review applications and conduct underwriting to determine whether the loan request is eligible, financially feasible, and consistent with the purpose of the RLF. This review will consider the borrower’s repayment ability, creditworthiness, management capacity, collateral, business plan, projected cash flow, use of funds, and expected economic benefit.

The underwriting process is intended to follow prudent lending practices. Staff will prepare a loan analysis and recommendation for review by the appropriate loan review body.

Credit Not Otherwise Available
Due to the fund being supported by the EDA, each loan must demonstrate that credit is not otherwise available on terms and conditions that would permit the project or business activity to proceed.

This does not mean that every borrower must be completely unable to access any private financing. Rather, the program must document that the borrower cannot obtain sufficient conventional financing on reasonable terms for the proposed activity.

This determination may be supported by one or more forms of documentation, including:
• A written declination or indication from a conventional lender; • A referral from a financial institution or technical assistance provider; • A memorandum prepared by ECEDC staff based on the borrower’s credit profile, collateral position, cash flow, and prevailing local lending practices; • Input from SBDC advisors or other qualified technical assistance providers familiar with regional lending standards.

This flexible approach allows the program to document financing need without creating an unnecessary barrier for small businesses that may not have already completed a formal bank denial process.

Advisory Loan Committee / Loan Administration Board
The RLF will include a loan review and approval structure to provide oversight and ensure that loans are evaluated consistently with the program’s goals, underwriting standards, and federal requirements.

The RLF Strategy identifies a Loan Administration Board composed of five members appointed by the ECEDC Foundation Board of Directors. The board structure includes individuals with lending experience, business experience, small business or entrepreneurship experience, an at-large member, and the RLF Administrator or designee. A quorum consists of at least three members, and approvals require a majority vote of the quorum.

For city and stakeholder purposes, this body can be understood as the program’s loan review and decision-making committee. Its role is to review staff-prepared loan packages, evaluate recommendations, and make loan decisions consistent with the RLF Strategy.

East County Economic Development Council | Empower East County Business Fund | Program Overview 6 The committee structure provides an additional layer of governance and helps ensure that loan decisions are not made solely by staff. It also brings outside expertise into the review process, including lending, business, and small business development perspectives.

Technical Assistance and Borrower Support
A key feature of the Empower East County Business Fund is the integration of loan capital with business technical assistance.

ECEDC operates the East County SBDC, allowing the program to connect borrowers and prospective borrowers with advising support. This assistance may include business planning, financial projections, loan readiness, bookkeeping, marketing, operations, growth strategy, and post-loan support.

This capital-plus-support model is important because access to funding alone may not be sufficient for small business success. By pairing financing with advising, the program can help borrowers better understand their financial position, prepare stronger applications, use funds appropriately, and improve long-term repayment performance.

This structure also benefits the fund itself by helping reduce borrower risk and supporting stronger loan outcomes.

Loan Terms and Eligible Uses
Loans will generally be available up to $50,000 per borrower. Loan terms will vary depending on the purpose of the loan, repayment ability, collateral, projected cash flow, and the useful life of the asset being financed.

Interest rates will be established based on prevailing market rates for comparable commercial loans, borrower risk, collateral, cash flow, loan structure, and applicable federal and state requirements. Rates may be set at, below, or in limited cases slightly above market rates depending on the risk profile and sustainability needs of the fund.

Eligible uses may include:
• Working capital;
• Machinery;
• Equipment;
• Construction;
• Installation;
• Renovation of commercial or industrial property;
• Business expansion activities;
• Other eligible business development purposes consistent with RLF requirements.

The program will not support prohibited lending activities such as acquiring an equity position in a private business, subsidizing interest payments on an existing RLF loan, providing a borrower’s required equity contribution under another federal loan program, or refinancing existing debt except under limited circumstances allowed by applicable requirements.

East County Economic Development Council | Empower East County Business Fund | Program Overview 7 Fund Management and Compliance
ECEDC will be responsible for managing the RLF in accordance with EDA requirements, the approved RLF Strategy, and prudent lending practices. This includes maintaining separate accounting records for the RLF, tracking loan repayments and interest income, preparing required reports, monitoring borrower performance, and maintaining appropriate loan files.

Loan files will include required documentation such as the loan application, loan agreement, approval minutes, promissory note, security agreement, collateral documentation, financial statements, job reports, correspondence, and documentation demonstrating that credit was not otherwise available.

Borrowers will generally be required to make monthly payments based on an amortization schedule provided at loan closing. ECEDC will monitor loan performance, follow up on delinquent payments, conduct borrower reporting and site visits as needed, and coordinate with legal counsel if collection or default procedures become necessary.

The RLF Strategy also requires ongoing portfolio monitoring, including review of loan performance, default risk, changes in economic conditions, and compliance with RLF policies and procedures.

Implementation Status
The program has moved from award and planning into implementation preparation. The current status is summarized below.

Completed
• Federal investment has been awarded and accepted through the U.S. Economic Development Administration.
• The RLF Strategy has been developed.
• The core program framework has been established, including eligible borrowers, eligible uses, loan size, general loan terms, underwriting approach, and portfolio standards.
• The service area has been identified as El Cajon, Santee, La Mesa, Lemon Grove, and unincorporated East County.
• The program has been structured to pair financing with SBDC technical assistance. • Initial city and stakeholder engagement has occurred to brief local partners on the program and prepare for launch.

In Progress
• Finalizing program policies, procedures, and internal documentation; • Establishing the Advisory Loan Committee / Loan Administration Board structure; • Confirming committee roles, expectations, and review procedures; • Developing borrower-facing application materials;
• Developing internal review templates and loan packaging procedures; East County Economic Development Council | Empower East County Business Fund | Program Overview 8 • Coordinating with city partners, chambers, lenders, and community organizations for outreach and referrals;
• Building an initial borrower pipeline;
• Finalizing administrative, accounting, legal, and compliance infrastructure required before loan deployment.

Remaining Before Launch
• Final approval of borrower application materials;

Anticipated Timeline
The current implementation timeline is generally as follows:

Timeframe Activity
Q1–Q2 2026 Federal award secured; RLF Strategy developed; program framework and eligibility structure established
Q2–Q3 2026 Finalize policies, procedures, application materials, committee structure, borrower pipeline, and partner outreach
Q3–Q4 2026 Launch applications, begin formal outreach and referrals, review loan packages, and begin deploying capital
Ongoing Monitor loans, provide borrower support, report to EDA, collect repayments, and revolve funds into future loans

The anticipated path to launch is to complete internal setup during Q2-Q3 2026, open applications and begin outreach during Q3-Q4 2026, and begin deploying capital to eligible businesses once the required program infrastructure is in place.

Anticipated Outcomes and Impact
Business Support
Provide small businesses and entrepreneurs with access to flexible financing for practical business needs, including working capital, equipment, inventory, facility improvements, and expansion.

East County Economic Development Council | Empower East County Business Fund | Program Overview 9 Job Creation and Retention
Support businesses that create or retain jobs in East County. The portfolio target is at least one full-time job created or retained for every $50,000 lent.

Local Economic Stability
Help retain employers, strengthen commercial areas, support local supply chains, and reduce the risk of business displacement.

Support for Underserved Businesses and Entrepreneurs
Increase access to capital for businesses that may face barriers in the traditional lending market, including smaller businesses, start-ups, minority-owned businesses, women-owned businesses, and businesses located in underserved areas.

Long-Term Revolving Fund Sustainability
Return repayments to the fund so the initial investment can continue supporting additional businesses over time.

Stronger Regional Business Ecosystem
Connect financing, technical assistance, city referrals, lender relationships, and community outreach into a coordinated regional strategy.

Fiscal Impact
For participating cities, any direct fiscal impact would depend on the specific local funding commitment, agreement structure, and prior Council or administrative action associated with the city’s contribution to the local match.

The RLF itself is structured as a regional economic development investment supported by federal funding and local partner funds. The program is intended to preserve and recycle capital through borrower repayment. Administrative costs are expected to be managed through the RLF structure and program income to the extent allowed under applicable requirements, with ECEDC responsible for maintaining accounting records, reporting, and compliance procedures.

City Role and Partnership Opportunities
Participating cities can support successful implementation of the RLF through coordination, referrals, and outreach. Potential city roles include:
• Referring eligible businesses to ECEDC and the SBDC;
• Sharing program information through city business newsletters, websites, and economic development communications;
• Identifying businesses that may need working capital, equipment financing, or expansion support;
• Coordinating with chambers of commerce and local business associations; East County Economic Development Council | Empower East County Business Fund | Program Overview 10 • Helping ECEDC understand local business needs, priority corridors, and redevelopment opportunities;
• Participating in future program briefings or stakeholder updates; • Connecting the program to other city economic development, business retention, and small business support efforts.

The RLF is designed as a regional tool, but city participation will be important to ensure businesses are aware of the program and that capital reaches qualified applicants throughout the service area.

Conclusion and Next Steps
The Empower East County Business Fund represents a significant regional economic development tool for East County. By combining federal investment, local partner funding, ECEDC administration, and SBDC technical assistance, the program is designed to expand access to capital for businesses that may not be fully served by traditional lenders.

The program is currently in the implementation phase. The federal award has been secured, the RLF Strategy has been developed, and the core program structure has been defined.

ECEDC is now finalizing the operational infrastructure needed to launch the program, including loan documents, committee structure, application materials, compliance processes, and borrower outreach.

Next steps include finalizing program setup, launching applications, developing the borrower pipeline, and beginning capital deployment. Once launched, the fund will provide flexible financing to eligible East County businesses while creating a sustainable revolving capital source for future business growth, job creation, and economic resilience.

Staff will continue coordinating with ECEDC and regional partners as the program moves toward launch and will provide additional updates as appropriate.
