City Council
Agenda Report
Agenda Item 4.

DATE: 06/09/2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Angela Cortez, City Clerk
SUBJECT: General Municipal Election - November 3, 2026
RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council adopts the next Resolutions, in order, in connection with the November 3, 2026, General Municipal Election:

1. Resolution requesting the County Board of Supervisors to consolidate the General Municipal Election with the Statewide General Election on November 3, 2026;

2. Resolution adopting regulations for candidates calling for prepayment for a 200-word Candidate's Statement; and

3. Resolution adopting regulations to resolve a tie vote for the City Council Election by lot.4.

BACKGROUND:

The Candidate Filing/Nomination Period for the General Municipal Election is:

Monday, July 13, 2026 - Friday, August 7, 2026, at 5:00 p.m.

If an incumbent does not file by the deadline, the filing period is extended to Wednesday, August 12, 2026, at 5:00 p.m., for candidates other than incumbents.

Candidate packets with official filing documents and election information will be available, by appointment only, at the City Clerk's Office, City Hall, 200 Civic Center Way, during the filing/nomination period, beginning on Monday, July 13, 2026, through Friday, August 7, 2026. Hours of operation for City Hall are: Monday through Thursday 7:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and on alternate Fridays from 8:00 am. to 5:00 p.m. Potential candidates are required to schedule an appointment by calling the City Clerk's office at (619) 441-1763 to receive the packet and election information.

NOTE: During the Candidate Filing/Nomination Period, City Hall will be closed on Friday, July 17, and July 31, 2026.

Prepaid Candidate's Statement:

Candidates may file a Candidate Statement for the Voters' Pamphlet. The City Council determines if the Statement is to be 200 or 400 words. Historically, the City Council has designated a 200-word statement, which equals one-half of a page, and is less cost to the candidate. A 400-word statement equals a full page.

The Federal Voting Rights Act requires that the San Diego County Area provides translated voters' pamphlets in Chinese, Filipino, Spanish, and Vietnamese; therefore, translation is a requirement for all Candidates' Statements.

For previous elections, the City Council has required candidates to prepay the estimated costs of the Candidate Statement at the time Nominating Papers are submitted to the City Clerk.

Staff recommends that candidates prepay a deposit if they choose to file a 200-word Candidate Statement for the 2026 election. The recommended deposit is based on a quote received from the Registrar of Voters as follows: for office of Mayor $1,800; and District No. 1:
$1,400.

Tie Vote (Council Discretion):

The City Council may adopt a procedure to resolve a tie vote "by lot" or by conducting a special run-off election involving only those candidates receiving the highest, and equal, number of votes. A special run-off election may only be held if the City Council adopts that procedure prior to the election resulting in a tie vote. Staff estimates the cost of a run-off election to be significantly higher than the cost of a consolidated election. For the November 2026 consolidated election, staff estimates the cost to be approximately $60,000.

Consolidated Election:

The cities, school districts, and special districts in San Diego County consolidate municipal elections with the County Registrar of Voters to print the sample ballot, set up precincts and vote centers, and count the votes. By consolidating, the costs are shared among the participating agencies and are less than a "stand-alone" election.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT:

This action is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") and is exempt in accordance with State CEQA Guidelines section 15378 because it is not a project which has the potential to result in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Election costs are projected to be $60,000, and will be paid from City Clerk (101120) appropriations, as proposed in the FY 2026-27 Preliminary Annual Budget.

City Council
Agenda Report
Agenda Item 6.

DATE: 06/09/2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Mara Romano, Purchasing Agent
SUBJECT: Approval of Resolution to Authorize a Contract Amendment for Bid No. 017-21 - Debris Collection Services
RECOMMENDATION:

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

Increase compensation for the current and final term of the contract in the not to exceed amount of $1,108.22; and

1. Extend the current agreement with Urban Corps of San Diego County (UCSDC) for three-months in the not-to-exceed amount of $32,439.82.

2. BACKGROUND:

The Debris Collection Services contract provides for the removal of trash, debris, abandoned furniture, and other items designated throughout City limits.

On May 25, 2021, the City Council authorized the award of the Debris Collection Services bid in the not-to-exceed amount of $107,700 for an initial one-year term and $487,410 for subsequent four-year renewal costs. The current agreement expires June 30, 2026 and all renewal options have been exhausted.

The Public Works Department is requesting a three-month contract extension under the terms and conditions of Bid #017-21 with UCSDC to avoid a lapse in service while bidding these services. The extension would cover the period of July 1, 2026 through September 30, 2026.

The additional time is required due to California Assembly Bill 339 requirements which mandate agencies provide a 45-day formal notice to the employee association prior to issuing a bid solicitation which has been met. During this time, the City secured grant funding through the California Department of Transportation’s Clean California Community Cleanup and Employment Pathways grant to support the initial year of the new debris collection services contract which was accepted by City Council at the April 28, 2026 City Council meeting.

The requested increase in compensation of $1,108.22 for the current term and $32,439.82 for the extension will maintain these critical services to support a clean and safe community.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT:

The proposed contract extension for Debris Collection Services is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to section 15301(c) of the State CEQA Guidelines. This exemption applies to projects involving repair and maintenance of existing public or private structures, facilities, and mechanical equipment involving negligible or no expansion of use, including public streets and highways.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of the $1,108.22 increase will supplement the current term for a total not-to-exceed amount of $129,759.28.

Approval of the $32,439.82 increase will supplement the three-month contract extension for a total contract amount of $626,658.04. Sufficient appropriations are available in the Fiscal Year 2026-27 Gas Tax Fund (211800), contingent upon budget approval.

DATE: 06/09/2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Jeremiah Larson, Chief of Police
SUBJECT: 2025 Operation Stonegarden Grant (OPSG) - Funded by the Office of Homeland Security
RECOMMENDATION:

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

Authorize the City Manager or designee to accept the FY 2025 Operation Stonegarden (OPSG) grant funds in the amount of $150,000;

1. Authorize the City Manager, or approved designee, to execute any grant documents and agreements necessary for the receipt and use of these funds; and

3. BACKGROUND:

Operation Stonegarden Grant (OPSG) is funded by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and administered by the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department. Through a partnership with the Office of Homeland Security, Customs and Border Protection/Border Patrol, and several local law enforcement agencies, the Stonegarden mission is to:
disrupt and degrade targeted transnational criminal organizations (TCOs), expand opportunities to work cooperatively with several regional agencies on border-related crime, and
maximize intelligence gathering and enforcement opportunities targeting drug and weapons smuggling, criminal transportation cells, and other border-related crime.

Multi-agency operations, funded through OPSG, will saturate areas known to be used by transnational drug and smuggling groups. The large law enforcement presence will serve as a criminal deterrent and help to maintain secure borders. These operations promote cooperation in the region and lead to drug and vehicle seizures, as well as arrests. These multi-agency operations include target-based, intelligence-led operations, high-profile saturation patrols, undercover operations, and interdiction details. The primary areas of focus will be the I-8 egress and the surrounding feeder roads and areas. In order to participate in these coordinated operations, the El Cajon Police Department will utilize $150,000 of the 2025 OPSG funding for overtime, mileage, and fringe benefit costs.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT:

The proposed action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to section 15321 (Enforcement Actions) of the State CEQA Guidelines. Law enforcement activities are exempt from CEQA.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The 2025 Operation Stonegarden Grant (STNGRDN25) will provide $150,000 in funding and will not impact the General Fund. No matching funds are required for this grant. These funds will be used by the El Cajon Police Department for the projects listed above, or as modified in the grant workbook, and approved by the granting agency.

Agenda Item 8.

DATE: 06/09/2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Yazmin Arellano, Director of Development Services SUBJECT: Adoption of the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) List of Proposed Projects for FY 2026-27
RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council:

1. Directs City staff to submit to the California Transportation Commission (CTC) a list of proposed projects to receive RMRA funding for Fiscal Year 2026-27.

2. BACKGROUND:

In 2017, the Governor signed Senate Bill (SB) 1, also known as the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017, to provide additional funding for basic road maintenance, rehabilitation, and safety needs on state highways and local street systems. Funding received from SB 1 is generated from both gasoline and diesel fuel excise taxes and vehicle registration fees. SB 1 also provides for inflationary adjustments to tax rates in future years.

Revenue received is allocated to the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) and is available for street resurfacing projects through the Local Streets and Roads Funding Program. The projected revenue for Fiscal Year 2026-27 for the City of El Cajon is $2,983,211.

SB 1 emphasizes the importance of accountability and transparency in the delivery of California's transportation programs. Therefore, in order to be eligible for RMRA funding, the statute requires cities and counties to provide basic annual reporting to the California Transportation Commission (CTC). Further, all projects anticipated to receive funding through RMRA must be identified annually in an approved List of Proposed Projects and submitted to the CTC by July 1st. Projects identified on the list are required to include a description, location, schedule for completion, and the estimated useful life of the improvement.

The current List of Proposed Projects is reflected in the Resolution attached to this report, specifically in Exhibit A - RMRA 2026-27 Map of Proposed Projects. Upon adoption of the attached Resolution, all proposed streets included in this list will be included in the City's Capital Improvement Program.

To maximize the use of SB 1 funds and ensure that the City’s most critical streets receive timely maintenance, while also maintaining fairness across neighborhoods, the City has implemented a strategic pavement management approach. For planning purposes, the City is divided into five maintenance zones. As a general practice, the paving program focuses on one maintenance zone each fiscal year, allocating approximately 80% of available funding to that zone and 20% to citywide needs. The strategy also sequences pavement treatments, slurry seal and spot repairs are completed prior to full-width mill and overlay each cycle. This sequencing enhances both cost-effectiveness and the planning process. Through this approach, each maintenance zone receives various paving treatments at least twice within a five-year period.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT:

The proposed list of projects to be funded by the RMRA Local Streets and Roads Funding Program is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA"), pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines section 15301(c). Section 15301(c) provides an exemption for street maintenance, the installation of bicycle lanes, and pedestrian crossing safety improvements.

None of the exemption exceptions listed under CEQA Guidelines section 15300.2 exist.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Revenue from RMRA (511500) to the City of El Cajon for Fiscal Year 2026-27 is estimated to be $2,983,211.

DATE: 06/09/2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Mara Romano, Purchasing Agent
SUBJECT: Approval of Resolution to Authorize the Contract Amendment for Survey, Mapping, and Right-of-Way Easement at Grossmont Terrace RECOMMENDATION:

BACKGROUND:

The Survey, Mapping, & Right-of-Way Easement at Grossmont Terrace project encompasses base mapping, preliminary sewer access road design, easement dedication package, easement vacation packages, right-of-way services, and project management.

On September 12, 2023, the City Council approved SOQ No. 007-24 – On-Call Professional Services. The Statement of Qualifications (SOQ) resulted in a pre-qualified list of firms for on-call professional services covering multiple disciplines, to include general civil engineering services. The firms provide professional services on an “as-needed” basis when projects or services cannot be completed by City staff. Selection of pre-qualified firms is on a rotating basis for individual tasks within each discipline. Contracts greater than $75,000 require City Council approval.

The City entered into a contract with REC on May 13, 2024, in the not-to-exceed amount of $73,315 for a one-year term. The agreement was extended for an additional year through May 12, 2026, with no additional compensation.

Currently, City staff is requesting the agreement be renewed for an additional one-year term, through and including, May 12, 2027, in the not-to-exceed amount of $81,782.45. This amount includes the remaining balance of the original amount of $42,217.45 and additional compensation in the amount of $39,565.

The increase and extension are requested due to the inherently extensive acquisition of right-of-way process and to continue services without interruption.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT:

Ongoing administrative activities of this nature do not constitute a "project" and are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), pursuant to section 15378(b)(2) of the CEQA Guidelines. Any environmental review required for individual projects will be performed prior to the City's project approval, as required by CEQA.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of the not-to-exceed amount of $81,782.45 will supplement the remaining work for a total not-to-exceed amount of $112,880. Sufficient funds are available in Grossmont Terrace Sewer Easement Improvement (253847PWCP).

City Council
Agenda Report
Agenda Item 10.

DATE: 06/09/2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Graham Mitchell, City Manager
SUBJECT: Neighborhood Traffic Calming Update
RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council receives the report and provides feedback and direction on implementation recommendations.

BACKGROUND:

The City Council Action Plan includes the following six tasks related to “reducing speeding motorists” in the community:

Explore legal uses of technology solutions or increased penalties to focus on excessive speeding and present findings to the City Council,
Implement an education and media campaign about enforcement, Host town hall,
Continue to explore and measure the effects of engineering solutions (angled parking, narrowed travel lanes, bulb outs),
Implement a speed saturation enforcement unit with current staffing and budget, and Research and pilot out-of-the-box ideas.

As part of meeting this goal, the City Council held a Neighborhood Traffic Calming Town Hall on April 21st. It was attended by approximately 100 residents. The intent of the Town Hall was to solicit feedback from community members about speeding and other traffic problems, as well as possible solutions.

The City also hosted a neighborhood meeting with residents living near or on Jamacha Road, Gustavo Street, Vista Del Valle Boulevard, and other surrounding streets. This meeting, held on May 21, 2026, was attended by approximately 40 members of the public, along with City staff, Councilmember Goble, and representatives from the Sheriff’s Department, California Highway Patrol, and Supervisor Joel Anderson’s office. The focused nature of this meeting allowed for a deeper dive into possible solutions.

At both meetings, staff recorded complaints, suggestions, and comments. Staff prepared the attached spreadsheets to help track action items from the two meetings. Some of the recommendations have already been implemented, are scheduled to be implemented, or require further City Council consideration and direction.

Since the Town Hall on April 21st, staff has increased enforcement activity with existing staff, relying on overtime, grant details, and multi-agency cooperation to focus on various traffic-related issues in the City and surrounding areas of ingress/egress. One multi-agency targeted detail occurred in areas with frequent speeding complaints, which resulted in 104 total citations issued, 76 of those were speeding citations. Between April 21st and June 1st, a total of 348 citations have been issued (91 were speed related).

During the agenda presentation, staff will present recommendations that require City Council action for further discussion, public input, and direction.

Also, included as attachments are the two presentation decks shown at the town hall and neighborhood meeting, as well as notes taken from the town hall activity.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT:

Neighborhood traffic calming implementation and future projects are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to sections 15378(b)(5) and 15301 of the State CEQA Guidelines. Section 15378(b)(5) exempts administrative activities of government that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment and section 15301 exempts minor alterations to existing public facilities, including public streets.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Most of the immediate projects are those that can be absorbed within the current streets-related budgets. Several projects will require grant funding and others may require City Council budget allocation approval.

working, but now people on Souvernir Dr
are not stopping.

1. PD Traffic Division Handling.

2. The order of the requests on My Civic has been updated. The application is an off the shelf software and the available status can't be changed. Traffic Engineering staff will only use the "Resolved" when the request has been closed. "Referred" or "Assigned" will be used when the request is pending.

3. Traffic Engineering will look into centerline barriers until the construction is completed for Phase 2 of the HSIP project.

4. Washington Ave and Dorothy St will have a traffic signal installed as part of the Phase 2 project, scheduled to begin construction in late 2027.
27 General Education program – PD talks about the
consequences of reckless driving. PD
shows up at each HS. Monthly stats and
reports for when speeders were caught
speeding (the public can see where
enforcement is happening). Like to see a
season of little to no tolerance on speed
and let the word get out. Motor days –
different agencies coming to EC – need to
be more frequent, if possible. Chase and
Washington – using the center lane as a
passing lane – near accident.

This location is part of the Speed Cushion Pilot Program Phase 3.

This area has been identified through the 2022 ATP as requiring sidewalks. In CIP's list to address.
2 Jamacha Rd south of
Gustavo St
Consider no parking for semi-trucks. PD enforcement monitored the area on 05/28/26 and gave one citation. Traffic Engineering will install "No Parking" signs on the dirt area, south of Gustavo St on Jamacha Rd, along with "No Parking Vehicles Over 6' High" south of Granite Hills Dr on Jamacha Rd.
3 Jamacha Rd south of
Gustavo St
Request for MPH legend painted on road. The Near-Term Improvement for Jamacha Rd will include this installation.
4 Jamacha Rd south of

5 Jamacha Rd from Shadow
Vista Way to Vista Del
Valle Blvd
Rumble strips to be analyzed both
northbound and southbound direction.

The Near-Term Improvement for Jamacha Rd will include this installation. If there is sufficient available funding, both NB and SB will be considered, with NB being the priority.
6 Jamacha Rd south of
Gustavo St
Request for tree removal on southeast of
intersection.

City will ask the HOA to consider tree removal and offer a smaller tree replacement paid for by the City.
7 Jamacha Rd and Gustavo
St
Place signals on "rest on red" during
evening hours.

Traffic Engineering analyzed the suggestion and will make adjustments.
8 Jamacha Rd from Shadow
Vista Way to Vista Del
Valle Blvd
Request for "K" rail along centerline of
road.

Traffic Engineering does not recommend "K" rail along the centerline of Jamacha Rd. The center lane is 15ft wide and would better benefit from concrete raised medians with landscaping.

CIP staff will be working on an HSIP cycle 13 grant application in the next couple of months, including these traffic calming measures.
9 Jamacha Rd from Gustavo
St to Shadow Vista Way
Metal beam guardrail (MBGR) north of
Shadow Vista Way ~500LF on the
eastside of the street.

City staff is considering installation in the FY26-27 budget. The cost for ~500 feet is approximately $200,000.
10 Jamacha Rd and Kendrick
Way
Request for mini roundabout. Current configuration of the intersection is not feasible for a mini- roundabout; grant funding is required for a more in depth analysis. Not recommended.

Request for all-way stop. Traffic Engineering will conduct a traffic study for this intersection to determine if an all-way stop is warranted. 14 Jamacha Rd and Gustavo
St
Request for "No Turn on Red" eastbound. Traffic Engineering conducted a traffic analysis, which did not justify this modification.
15 Gustavo St Request for additional speed limit signs
on both eastbound and westbound lanes
of Jamacha Rd.

Traffic Engineering will evaluate this area and request for speed limit signs to be installed if necessary.

Calming Measures

1. When resident requests are received, existing conditions are reviewed (speed, volume, accident history, street design elements, street classification, on-street parking)

2. If there is significant speeding (85th percentile speed is far greater than the posted speed limit) staff evaluates traffic calming measures to reduce speeds. These measures include, but are not limited to:
• Enforcement (radar trailer, intensified police enforcement) • Additional Signage (enhanced signage, all-way stops, speed feedback signs) • Changes to Street Cross Section (lane narrowing, edge striping, curb extensions, median landscaping)
• Changes in Horizontal Alignment (chicanes, roundabouts) • Changes in Vertical Alignment – recycled rubber speed cushions (temporary/pilot installations) and asphalt speed cushions (permanent installations) 28 All-Way Stop Evaluation

30 Evaluation Process for Traffic Calming Measures

1. When resident requests are received, existing conditions are reviewed, that is, information on speed, volume, accident history, street design elements (alignment and grades), street classification, and presence of on-street parking.

2. If there is significant speeding, that is, the 85th percentile speed is far greater than the posted speed limit, staff will evaluate traffic calming measures to help reduce traffic speeds. These measures include, but are not limited to:
• Enforcement (radar trailer, intensified police enforcement) • Installation of Additional Signage (enhanced signage, all-way stops, speed feedback signs)
• Changes to Street Cross Section (lane narrowing, edge striping, curb extensions, median landscaping)
• Changes in Horizontal Alignment (chicanes, roundabouts) • Changes in Vertical Alignment – recycled rubber speed cushions (temporary/pilot installations) and asphalt speed cushions (permanent installations)

Agenda Report
Agenda Item 11.

DATE: 06/09/2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Megan Blake, Human Resources Manager
SUBJECT: Assembly Bill 2561 Presentation: City Vacancies, Recruitment, and Retention Efforts
RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council receives the report.

BACKGROUND:

This agenda report provides an update on the City's vacancies, recruitment, and retention efforts for calendar year 2025, in accordance with Assembly Bill 2561 (AB 2561). AB 2561 was signed into law in September 2024 and became effective on January 1, 2025. The law, which added Section 3502.3 to the California Government Code, requires public agencies to present the status of vacancies, recruitment and retention efforts during a public hearing before their governing board at least once per fiscal year. The law also requires public agencies to present additional information regarding vacancies, upon request by an employee organization, if the vacancy rate within a bargaining unit is at least 20%, and allows employee organizations to make a presentation to City Council. As represented below, the City did not have any bargaining units with vacancy rates at or above 20%.

The vacancy rates as of December 31, 2025, for each of the City's bargaining groups were as follows:

A-29 Executive and Unrepresented Employees 15%
El Cajon Municipal Employees Association (ECMEA) 12%
El Cajon Professional Firefighters Association (ECPFF) 19% El Cajon Police Officers Association (ECPOA) 4%
El Cajon Police Officers Association Management Group (ECPOA-MG) 0% El Cajon Mid-Management and Professional Employees Group (MMPEG) 15% Lastly, on June 2, 2026, the City’s five bargaining groups were notified of the AB 2561 presentation date.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT:

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

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact.

Agenda Report
Agenda Item 12.

DATE: 06/09/2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Nate Prescott, Senior Management Analyst
SUBJECT: Consideration to Approve Resolution of Intent to Establish a Downtown El Cajon Community Benefit District; Authorization for City Manager or Designee to vote “Yes” on the ballot; and Acceptance of the Management District Plan and the Engineer’s Report.

RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council:

Receives report and petition drive results;1.

2. Accepts the Management District Plan and the Engineer’s Report for the Proposed CBD.3.

BACKGROUND:

The Downtown El Cajon Property-Based Improvement District (PBID) was formed in 2011 to improve the economic well-being of businesses in downtown El Cajon. In 2024, the City Council adopted the Community Benefit District Ordinance to allow for the creation of a Community Benefit District in 2026-2027 in the event the PBID did not intend to renew the PBID.

The Downtown District, led by their governing board, the Downtown El Cajon Business Partners (DECBP), has a strong history of well attended events and activities in Downtown El Cajon, and with their 2025 hiring of New City America to manage and administrate the existing district, services have drastically increased and improved.

On April 23, 2026, the City Council heard a presentation from City Staff and DECBP Staff outlining this process to form a proposed new Downtown El Cajon Community Benefit District (“CBD”). DECBP initiated the first step to mail out petitions to form the CBD in late April.

Because the City owns land within the proposed CBD, the City Council voted on April 23, 2026 to authorize the City Manager or designee to vote “Yes” in the petition in support of the creation of the CBD.

Management District Plan
In order to form a community benefit district, there must be a Management District Plan (“MDP”) prepared. The MDP, which is referenced in the Resolution of Intent and attached in this agenda packet as Attachment 2, outlines the priorities and services of the proposed CBD.

The MDP outlines the extent of the proposed services, the proposed cost of the various services, and explains the assessment methodology applied to each property. Per State law, the MDP must also include a detailed engineer’s report prepared by a registered professional engineer in California that supports all the proposed assessments in the MDP. The engineer’s report is included as Attachment 3. The DECBP approved the MDP in 2026.

The MDP proposes services and cost breakdowns as follows:

Total Budget $793,225 Civil Sidewalks/Safety and Cleanliness $476,000 (rounded) Regular sidewalk and gutter sweeping
Periodic sidewalk steam cleaning
Beautification of the Downtown El Cajon CBD
Enhanced trash emptying (over and above city services)
Timely graffiti removal, within 72 hours as necessary
Maintenance of existing and new public spaces
Maintenance of the Prescott Promenade
Set up and take down of special events
Installation and maintenance of flowers throughout the Downtown El Cajon CBD (outside of medians)
Personnel to manage in-house or contracted maintenance and any security teams District Identity and Placemaking $119,000 (rounded) Website development and updating
Traditional events done by the GDECIA (new 501 c3)
Social media, public relations firm
Enhancing current City holiday and seasonal decorations Branding of Downtown El Cajon properties so a positive image is promoted to the public Activation of Prescott Promenade
Banner programs
Public art displays and promotion of the Rea Street Art District Public space design and improvements
Personnel to manage in-house or contracted public relations, website maintenance, or social media contractors
Administration/Program Management $174,000 (rounded) Staff and administrative costs, contracted or in-house
Directors and Officers and General Liability Insurance
Office-related expenses
Office and equipment rent
Financial reporting and accounting
Legal work
Contingency $24,225 (rounded) Delinquencies, City/County fees, reserves.

Petition and Balloting
In April 2026, DECBP mailed a petition to the affected property owners concerning the creation of the new CBD. As of June 9, 2026, DECBP will submit petitions to the City signed by property owners in the proposed CBD who will pay more than thirty percent of the assessments proposed to be levied in connection with such CBD as required by El Cajon Municipal Code section 2.90.100 which petitions will be on file with the City Clerk and available for public inspection.

Upon submission of the petition with the required number of signatures, the City Council may consider initiating proceedings to start the formation of the proposed CBD by approving the Resolution of Intent found in Attachment 1. If approved, the Resolution of Intent would set a noticed public hearing for July 28, 2026, and authorize the City Clerk to initiate the ballot process for the affected property owners. The property owners will have no less than 45 days in which to return the ballots. The ballots will be mailed out by the City Clerk no later than June 12, 2026, and must be returned by the conclusion of the public hearing scheduled for the July 28, 2026 City Council meeting. At the public hearing, the City will tabulate the votes and determine if there is a majority protest against the imposition of the assessment in connection with the CBD, in which case the CBD will not be formed. A majority protest exists if the assessment ballots submitted, and not withdrawn, in opposition to the proposed assessment exceed the assessment ballots submitted, and not withdrawn, in its favor, weighting those assessment ballots by the amount of the proposed assessment to be imposed upon the identified parcel for which each assessment ballot was submitted. If no majority protest exists, then the Council could consider forming the CBD at that time.

It is important to note, however, that if the election to create the Community Benefit District fails, the current iteration of the PBID will expire on December 31, 2026, with no mechanism to replace it. As such, while the City would realize a savings of approximately $98,000 in assessment fees, it would also assume total responsibility for the maintenance of the now-former PBID district. The City would also have to determine if downtown events (i.e. car show, concerts, and Holiday Lights on Main) would be viable given current budget constraints.

City Owned Properties
Because the City of El Cajon owns land within the proposed CBD, if the Council approves the Resolution of Intent today, the City will also receive a ballot to consider approval of the formation of the CBD. The City would pay approximately 12.37% of the total assessment based on its ownership of properties. The increase in enhanced services that the proposed CBD would provide downtown would be much greater than what the City is able to provide on its own. The proposed services for the CBD would benefit the City, business owners, and its residents. Therefore, staff recommends that the City Council authorizes the City Manager, or designee, to vote yes on the ballots for any City-owned properties in the CBD in favor of the proposed CBD.

The City has historically paid approximately $80,000 per year for its portion of the assessments. The creation of the Community Benefit District will increase services provided by the District and the City's portion of the assessments will be $98,148.80. The intent of the District is to increase property values; if successful, this will have a positive impact on General Fund revenues.

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. Any future actions directed by the City Council related to the PBID will be assessed in accordance with CEQA.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The creation of the Community Benefit District will increase the City’s portion of the assessment by an estimated $19,000 for a total cost of about $98,148.80, to be paid from the City Manager's 101112 account. Sufficient funds are included in the proposed FY 26-27 Annual Budget.

5 Exhibit A
CITY OF El CAJON PROCEDURES FOR THE COMPLETION, RETURN, AND

TABULATION OF ASSESSMENT BALLOTS
I. Completion of Ballots
• Who may complete a ballot
An assessment ballot may be completed by the owner of the parcel to be assessed. As used in these Procedures, the term "owner" includes the owner's authorized representative. If the owner of the parcel is a partnership, joint tenancy, or tenancy in common, a ballot may be completed by any of the general partners, joint tenants, or tenants in common. Except as set forth below, only one ballot may be completed for each parcel.
• Proportional assessment ballots
If a parcel has multiple owners, any owner may request a proportional assessment ballot.

If the ownership interest of the owner is not shown on the last equalized secured property tax assessment roll, such request must include evidence, satisfactory to the City, of the owner's proportional rights in the parcel. The City will provide the proportional ballot to the owner at the address shown on the assessment roll. Any request for a ballot to be mailed to another location must be made in writing and must include evidence, satisfactory to the City, of the identity of the person requesting the ballot. Each proportional ballot will be marked to show the date on which the ballot was provided, to identify it as a proportional ballot and to indicate the owner's proportional rights in the parcel. The City will keep a record of each proportional ballot provided to an owner. • Duplicate ballots
If an assessment ballot is lost, withdrawn, destroyed or never received, the City will mail or otherwise provide a duplicate ballot to the owner upon request. The duplicate ballot will be marked to show the date on which the ballot was mailed or provided a nd to identify it as a duplicate ballot or a duplicate proportional ballot. The same procedure applies to duplicate ballots or duplicate proportional ballots which are lost, withdrawn, destroyed, or never received.
• Marking and signing the ballot
To complete an assessment ballot, the owner of the parcel must (1) stamp or mark the appropriate box supporting or opposing the proposed assessment, and (2) sign, under penalty of perjury, the statement on the ballot that the person completing the ballot is the owner of the parcel or the owner's authorized representative. Only one box may be 6 stamped or marked on each ballot. Ballots must be completed in ink and include the original signature of the signer.
• Only assessment ballots provided by the City will be accepted The City will only accept ballots mailed or otherwise provided to owners by the City.

Photoduplicated, facsimile, and electronic copies of completed ballots will not be accepted. II.

II. Return of Ballots
• Who may return ballots
An assessment ballot may be returned by the owner of the parcel or by anyone authorized by the owner to return the ballot.
• Where to return ballots
Ballots may be mailed to the address indicated on the ballot.

Ballots may also be delivered in person to the Office of the City Clerk located at 200 Civic Center Way, El Cajon, CA 92020 (prior to noon/12:00 p.m. on the date scheduled for the public hearing on the proposed assessment), or delivered to the City Clerk at the public hearing on the proposed assessment.

The City will not accept ballots returned to the City via email, facsimile machine, or other electronic method.
• When to return ballots
All returned ballots must be received by the City prior to the time the City Council closes the public input portion of the public hearing on the proposed assessment. The public input portion of the public hearing may be continued from time to time. • Withdrawal of assessment ballots
After returning an assessment ballot to the City, the person who signed the ballot may withdraw the ballot by submitting a written statement to the City directing the City to withdraw the ballot. Such statement must be received by the City prior to the close of the public input portion of the public hearing on the proposed assessment. When ballots for the assessment are tabulated, the City will segregate withdrawn ballots from all other returned ballots. The City will retain all withdrawn ballots and will indicate on the face of such withdrawn ballots that they have been withdrawn.

If any ballot has been withdrawn, the person withdrawing the ballot may request a duplicate ballot.
• Changes to assessment ballots
7 In order to change the contents of a ballot that has been submitted, the person who has signed that ballot may (1) request that such ballot be withdrawn, (2) request that a duplicate ballot be issued, and (3) return the duplicate ballot fully completed. Each of these steps must be completed according to the procedures set forth above.

III. Tabulation of Ballots
• Which assessment ballots will be counted
Only ballots which are completed and returned in compliance with these procedures will be counted. Ballots received by the City after the close of the public input portion of the public hearing on the proposed assessment will not be counted. Ballots which are not signed by the owner will not be counted. Ballots with no boxes marked, or with more than one box marked, will not be counted. Ballots withdrawn in accordance with these procedures will not be counted.

The City will keep a record of each proportional or duplicate ballot mailed or otherwise provided to an owner and will ensure that only one ballot is tabulated for the parcel (or for the owner in the case of proportional ballots).

The following rules will apply if more than one countable ballot for a parcel (or owner) has been returned. If a non- duplicate ballot has been returned, the City will count the non- duplicate ballot and disregard all duplicate ballots. If only duplicate bal lots have been returned, the City will count the last duplicate ballot and disregard the earlier duplicate ballots. If an owner returns both a non- proportional ballot and a proportional ballot, the City will count the proportional ballot and disregard the non-proportional ballot. • When and where ballots will be tabulated
The tabulation of ballots will be performed, in view of those present, at the public hearing following the close of the public input portion of the public hearing. The public hearing may be continued from time to time for the purpose of tabulating ballots. Ballots will not be unsealed until the tabulation begins.
• How ballots will be tabulated
Ballots may be counted by hand, by computer or by any other tabulating device.

Ballots will be tabulated by adding the ballots submitted in opposition to the assessment and adding the ballots submitted in favor of the assessment. Ballots shall be weighted according to the proportional financial obligation of the affected property; pr ovided, however, that proportional ballots shall be weighted in accordance with the respective ownership interests of each proportional ballot submitted. If one or more proportional ballots are returned for a parcel and a non- proportional ballot is returned for the parcel, the non- proportional ballot will either disregarded (if the same owner has returned a 8 proportional ballot) or treated as a proportional ballot (if the same owner has not returned a proportional ballot).
• Who will tabulate ballots
Ballots will be tabulated by an employee of the City or by some other impartial person designated by the City Council who does not have a vested interest in the outcome of the proposed assessment. The tabulator may be assisted by any of the staff and consultants of the City.
• Results of tabulation
The results of the tabulation will be announced following the completion of the tabulation and entered in the minutes of a City Council meeting. If ballots submitted in opposition to the proposed assessment exceed the ballots submitted in favor of the prop osed assessment (as tabulated above), the assessment will not be imposed.

IV. Resolution of Disputes
In the event of a dispute regarding whether the signer of a ballot is the owner of the parcel to which the ballot applies, the City will make such determination from the last equalized assessment roll and any evidence of ownership submitted to the City prior to the conclusion of the public hearing. The City will be under no duty to obtain or consider any other evidence as to ownership of property and its determination of ownership will be final and conclusive.

In the event of a dispute regarding whether the signer of a ballot is an authorized representative of the owner of the parcel, the City may rely on the statement on the ballot signed under penalty of perjury that the person completing the ballot is the owner's authorized representative and any evidence submitted to the City prior to the conclusion of the public hearing. The City will be under no duty to obtain or consider any other evidence as to whether the signer of the ballot is an authorized representat ive of the owner and its determination will be final and conclusive.

V. Public Record
During and after tabulation, all ballots are public records.

Management Downtown El Cajon CBD Plan Summary
The name of this (“CBD”) is the Downtown El Cajon Community Benefit District. The Downtown El Cajon CBD is being formed under the City of El Cajon’s Community Benefit Ordinance, Chapter

2.90, added to Title 2 of the El Cajon Municipal Code.

The levy of assessments on real property within the proposed Downtown El Cajon CBD will fund physical and maintenance improvements to individual properties, attract new customers, tenants, and increase business sales, resulting in stabilized rents for property owners throughout Downtown El Cajon. The assessments will fund maintenance, special events and activities, and other special benefits within the Downtown El Cajon CBD, revitalizing Downtown El Cajon and, creating jobs, attracting and retaining businesses, and reducing crime.

Downtown El Cajon CBD Steering Committee
For the past two decades, downtown stakeholders have worked to improve and enhance their experience and overall ambiance of working, visiting, shopping, and residing in Downtown El Cajon.

Since the initiation of work last Spring, the current Property Business Improvement District Board (formerly the Downtown El Cajon Business Partners, now the Greater Downtown El Cajon Improvement Association, GDECIA), has worked diligently to outreach to property owners, simultaneously building a level of support for improvements to in Downtown El Cajon as well as commencing the expansion of the property assessment district – now known as the new Downtown El Cajon CBD. The Downtown El Cajon CBD Steering Committee has met multiple times, has reviewed multiple versions of a management plan and finalized the boundaries, services, costs, and term at its January 2026 Board of Directors meeting.

During this process, the Board of Directors of the Greater Downtown El Cajon CBD and its staff shall hold meetings with property owners in large meeting sessions as well as one-on-one discussions to be held to explain the purpose of the Downtown El Cajon CBD.

How can a new CBD benefit property owners in Downtown El Cajon? In summary, a Downtown El Cajon CBD is a Special Benefits Assessment District whereby property owners vote, through a mail ballot procedure, to supplement their property tax bills to pay for and control the assessments they generate through the new CBD. The CBD will not replace current City services, but it can fund solutions to supplement City services in the areas, including:
 Safety, petty criminal, and homeless/vacancy problems  Sidewalk cleanliness
 Increase tree trimming and replacement of damaged trees and landscaping  Install/improve decorative amenities such as street furniture, fixtures, equipment, and lighting
4  Promote and enhance the brand image of Downtown El Cajon  Manage events in and around the Downtown El Cajon CBD, particularly at the Prescott Promenade
 Create a strong social media presence and facilitate public relations for Downtown El Cajon businesses
 Promote public space development and placemaking

MOST IMPORTANTLY, THESE PROPERTY ASSESSMENT FUNDS WILL NOT REPLACE EXISTING CITY

SERVICES IN DOWNTOWN EL CAJON AND W ILL BE MANAGED BY THE PROPERTY AND BUSINESS OWNERS, AFTER THE DOWNTOWN EL CAJON CBD IS VOTED IN.

METHOD OF FINANCING
The financing of the Downtown El Cajon CBD is based upon the levy of special assessments on real properties that receive special benefits from the improvements and activities based upon which Benefit Zone they are located within . See Section 4 for assessment methodology and compliance with Article XIII D of the California State Constitution . The five factors used to determine proportional costs to the parcels in the Downtown El Cajon CBD:
 Linear frontage, on all sides of the parcel (excluding alleys)  Lot square footage
 Building square footage
 Current and future residential condominiums
 Location within one of the two geographic benefit zones of the Downtown El Cajon CBD Cost s
The costs per parcel are based upon the five factors listed above. The Benefit Zones are determined by the anticipated special benefits that a parcel will receive based upon its proximity to the core of the Downtown El Cajon CBD along Main Street, as well as the frequency of special benefit services that the parcel will receive. All assessments must be proportional to the special benefits received.

First Year Annual Costs Per Benefit Zone
Property Variable Benefit Zone 1 Benefit Zone 2
Building Square Footage $0.10 $0.09
Lot size (sq ft) $0.07 $0.06
Linear Frontage (ft) $4.00 $3.50
Residential Condos Unit Sq.

Ft.
$0.10 $0.09
In addition, other factors will be used to determine assessments based upon the anticipated benefit of the current land uses:
 Residential condominiums will be assessed for unit building square footage only.  Private parking structures or major retail parking lots may be lowered for their gross building square footage and/or lot size assessments unless they are open to the public in general, and that parking serves the needs of visitors other than direct customers.  All publicly owned and operated parcels will be assessed for linear frontage, lot size, and building square footage.
7 Data and Benefit Zones
There are 427 individual parcels owned by 284 property owners in the proposed Downtown El Cajon CBD. The data was obtained by San Diego County Tax Assessors, ParcelQuest, as well as verification from property owners in the Downtown El Cajon. The following data is used as the basis for the generation of the CBD assessments.

Total 2,105,962 sq. ft 6,071,166 sq. ft 49,670 linear feet 153,129 sq. ft.

Boundaries
The proposed Downtown El Cajon CBD consists of approximately 44 square blocks (blocks vary in size on each side of both Main Street and Magnolia Street), consisting of 427 parcels (374 currently assessed) owned by 284 property owners. A list of all parcels included in the proposed DECCBD is shown as Appendix 1, attached to this Report with their respective San Diego County assessor parcel number. The boundary of the proposed DECCBD and parcels within it are shown on the map of the DECCBD attached as Appendix 2 to this Report, which shall govern for the purposes of identifying assessed parcels.

Benefit Zones There are two benefit zones in the proposed DECCBD.

Zone 1: Core Area:

In general, Zone 1 includes Main Street from the intersection of El Cajon Boulevard and Main Street on the west and Roanoke Street and Avocado Avenue on the east. Additionally, Zone 1 includes parcels from the intersection of Interstate 8 and Magnolia Avenue on the north and all parcels fronting along Magnolia Avenue southward to the north side of the intersection of Lexington Avenue and Magnolia Avenue on the south.

Zone 2: All Other Areas
In general, Zone 2 includes the peripheral parcels of the Downtown El Cajon CBD that do not front along Main Street and Magnolia Avenue and are not included in Zone 1.

Downtown El Cajon CBD Formation
Under the local enabling ordinance, Downtown El Cajon CBD formation requires submission of petitions from private and public property owners in the proposed Downtown El Cajon CBD representing at least 30% of the total assessments to be paid into the first year of the Downtown El Cajon CBD.
8 Once the City verifies the petitions totaling a minimum of 30%, ($237,968) of the first-year annual budget which is projected to be $793,225 in first-year annual assessments, the El Cajon City Council may adopt a Resolution of Intention to mail out ballots to all affected property owners.

The City will then hold a public hearing and tabulate the ballots. The Downtown El Cajon CBD will be formed if the weighted majority of all returned mail ballots support Downtown El Cajon CBD formation and when the City Council adopts a Resolution of Formation to levy the assessments on the benefiting parcels. The date for that public hearing has not been scheduled but it is assumed that it will be held in late June 2026, based upon the successful completion of the petition drive.

Term
Under the El Cajon local enabling ordinance, the Downtown El Cajon CBD may be established for up to 20 years and shall not exceed 20 years. State law and the local enabling ordinance permits this annual disestablishment of the Downtown El Cajon CBD based upon petition and vote of the property owners. The threshold needed to trigger the balloting for the formation of the Downtown El Cajon CBD is the same as the process for disestablishment of the Downtown El Cajon CBD.

Time and Manner for Collecting Assessments
The Downtown El Cajon CBD assessments will appear as a separate line item on annual property tax bills prepared by the San Diego County Tax Assessor. The assessments are collected at the same time and in the same manner as ad valorem property taxes paid to the County. The assessments have the same lien priority and penalties for delinquent payments as ad valorem property taxes. Any delinquent assessments owed for the first year will be added to the property tax roll for the following year together with any applicable interest and penalties. The “property owner” means any person shown as the owner/taxpayer on the last equalized assessment roll or otherwise known to be the owner/taxpayer by the City. Publicly owned properties of the City, County and MTS and tax-exempt parcels shall not be collected by the County Tax Assessor, but rather by a manual billing by the City of El Cajon. The first assessments of the new Downtown El Cajon CBD will appear in December 2026 property tax bills.

Government Assessments
The Downtown El Cajon CBD Management Plan assumes that any public or tax-exempt parcels shall be assessed in proportion to their specific special benefit services. There are currently City, County and MTS properties in the proposed Downtown El Cajon CBD. The Civil Sidewalks, District Identity and Placemaking and Administrative special benefit services will provide a clean and an attractive working environment for those publicly owned and operated buildings in the core of the Downtown El Cajon CBD. This will allow the City and County to attract new employees and provide visitors with an additional benefit of dealing with City and County business as well as reap the benefits of a full-service business Downtown El Cajon CBD. 9 Governance
Pursuant to Section 366 50 of the California Streets and Highway Code, the Downtown El Cajon CBD Management Corporation or current Owners’ Association, (Management Corporation) will review Downtown El Cajon CBD budgets and policies annually within the limitations of the Management District Plan. The Management Corporation must file Annual Reports with the City of El Cajon and will oversee the day-to-day implementation of services as defined in the Management Downtown El Cajon CBD Plan. The current Management Corporation, the Greater Downtown El Cajon Improvement Association, shall continue to serve as the Management Corporation.

Disestablishment
Under the local enabling ordinance, the Downtown El Cajon CBD property owners will have an annual period in which to submit petitions to the City Council to disestablish the CBD. If the property owners vote by weighted majority to disestablish the Downtown El Cajon CBD, assessments will be removed from the parcels the following fiscal year. Unexpended surplus funds will be returned to property owners based upon a parcel’s percentage contribution to the previous fiscal year’s assessments.

Exemptions or Reductions in Rates
Under this Management Downtown El Cajon CBD Plan and consistent with Proposition 218 and Article XIII D of the State Constitution, no parcel receiving special benefits from the establishment of a property assessment Downtown El Cajon CBD is exempt from the full payment of the annual assessment.

Downtown El Cajon CBD Boundaries
Boundaries
The proposed Downtown El Cajon CBD consists of approximately 44 square blocks (blocks vary in size on each side of both Main Street and Magnolia Street), consisting of 427 parcels owned by 284 property owners. See the Downtown El Cajon proposed CBD map in Section 2, pages 13 and 14, which shall govern for the purposes of identifying assessed parcels. The Downtown El Cajon CBD is generally bound by:

Benefit Zones There are two benefit zones in the proposed DECCBD.

Zone 1: Core Area:

Zone 2: All Other Areas
In general, Zone 2 includes the peripheral parcels of the Downtown El Cajon CBD that do not front along Main Street and Magnolia Avenue and are not included in Zone 1.

Downtown El Cajon CBD Boundary Rationale
The Downtown El Cajon CBD boundaries are comprised of parcels that highlight restaurants, retailers, services, office buildings, market rate and residential condominiums apartment units, hotels, industrial and civic buildings. Benefit Zone 1 properties front along Main Street from Roanoke Street on the east to El Cajon Boulevard/Main Street intersection on the west. Benefit Zone 1 parcels represent the core of the Downtown El Cajon CBD and are expected, due to the nature of the land uses, to derive the greatest benefit from the establishment of the Downtown El Cajon Community Benefit Downtown El Cajon CBD.

Benefit Zone 2 parcels are to be found west of the intersection of El Cajon Boulevard and Main Street running westward up to the Metropolitan Transit System Station as well as parcels, that by and large, do not front along Magnolia Avenue north of Lexington Avenue on the south and Interstate 8 on the north. Benefit Zone 2 parcels will derive special benefits like Benefit Zone 1; however, the frequency of Benefit Zone 2 services shall be approximately 4 - 5 days per week as compared to 6 - 7 days a week for Benefit Zone 1 parcels.

Northern Boundary -
The northern boundary of the proposed Downtown El Cajon CBD includes all parcels on the border 11 along the Interstate 8 freeway and includes parcels 483-330-022 and 483-330-034 on the northeast side of the Downtown El Cajon CBD as well as parcel 482-301-006, on the northwest corner. Please refer to the map on page 13 for a view of the Downtown El Cajon CBD. No Downtown El Cajon CBD special benefit services shall be provided north of the northern boundary of the Downtown El Cajon CBD which ends at the southern side of Interstate 8.

Downtown El Cajon CBD Improvement and Activity Plan
Explanation of Special Benefit Services
All of the improvements and activities detailed below are provided only to properties within the boundaries of the Downtown El Cajon CBD, as the improvements and activities will provide special benefits to the owners of these properties.

The City of El Cajon will continue to provide general benefit services in Downtown El Cajon Downtown El Cajon CBD which will include public safety programs, street sweeping, and tree trimming, etc. The frequency of these general benefits may change from year to year and time to time based upon budget constraints. However, City general benefits will not be withdrawn from Downtown El Cajon CBD unless they are withdrawn by an equal frequency City wide. The CBD funded special benefits will not replace City funded general benefits but rather will provide enhanced special benefits to parcel owners over and above the general benefits provided by the City of El Cajon.

All services funded by the assessments outlined in the Management District Plan are intended to directly benefi t the properti es within the Downtown El Cajon CBD to support increased commerce, business attraction and retention, to retain and increase commercial property rentals, attract new residential developments, enhance safety and cleanliness in Downtown El Cajon, improve its public identity, and eventually fund specialized beautification and enhanced services for the property owners, businesses, visitors and residents within the Downtown El Cajon CBD.

Special Benefit B udget Category Analysis
This Plan gives property owners greater flexibility in determining the type and frequency of special benefit services that will be allocated on a year-to-year basis. As El Cajon’s Downtown evolves, services that are needed one year may not be needed the next. Therefore, “bundles” or categories of special benefit funding have been created and divided into four broad categories – Civil Sidewalks, District Identity and Placemaking, Administration, and Contingency. The bundles are allocated funding percentages with the flexibility to prioritize or minimize a service within each bundle.

The bundles or categories of services and their percentages represent the service plan the Downtown El Cajon CBD property owners will be voting on when the Downtown El Cajon CBD comes up for a mail ballot later this spring.

The proposed “bundles” of special benefit services are listed below and are supplemental to current City services.

METHOD OF FINANCING
The financing of the Downtown El Cajon CBD is based upon the levy of special assessments upon real properties that receive special benefits from the improvements and activities based upon which Benefit Zone they are located within . See Section 4 for assessment methodology and compliance with Article XIII (d) of the California State Constitution . The five factors used to determine of proportional costs to the parcels in the Downtown El Cajon CBD:

1. Linear frontage on all sides excluding alleys

2. Lot square footage

3. Building square footage

4. Current and future residential condominiums that currently exist or will be constructed

5. Location within one of the two geographic benefit zones of the Downtown El Cajon CBD In addition, other factors will be used to determine assessments based upon the anticipated benefit of the current land uses:
 Residential condominiums will be assessed for unit building square footage only.  Private parking structures or major retail parking lots will not be included for building square footage assessments unless they are open to the public in general and serve the parking needs of visitors other than direct customers.
 All publicly owned and operated parcels will be assessed for linear frontage, lot size and building square footage.

Data and Benefit Zones
There are 427 individual parcels owned by 284 property owners in the proposed Downtown El Cajon CBD. The data was obtained by San Diego County Assessors, ParcelQuest as well as verification from property owners in the Downtown El Cajon Downtown El Cajon CBD. The following data is used as the basis for the generation of the Downtown El Cajon CBD. 18 Property Data by Benefit Zone

Cost s
The costs per parcel are based upon the five factors listed on this page. The Benefit Zones are determined by the anticipated special benefits that a parcel will receive based upon its proximity to the core of the Downtown El Cajon CBD, as well as the frequency of special benefit services that that parcel will receive. All assessments must be proportional to the special benefits received so we have agreed upon the following Benefit Zones.

(A property owners’ annual assessment will be based upon the sum of the parcel(s) building square footage, lot size and linear frontage. That sum will constitute the property owners’ “weight” in the petition and balloting phase of the formation process).

In addition, other factors will be used to determine assessments based upon the anticipated benefit of the current land uses:
19  Residential condominiums will be assessed for parcel unit building square footage only.  Private parking structures or major retail parking lots will not be included for building square footage assessments unless they are open to the public in general and serve the parking needs of visitors other than direct customers.
 All publicly owned and operated parcels will be assessed for linear frontage, lot size and building square footage.

Annual Assessment Cap
The Downtown El Cajon CBD budget and assessments may be subject to annual increases not to exceed 7% per year. Increases will be determined by the Owners’ Association /Downtown El Cajon CBD Management Corporation and will vary between 0% and 7% annually. Changes in land uses, the development of vacant parcels, the demolition of buildings, building improvements that increase square footages, and new building construction or residential condominium development, may alter the Downtown El Cajon CBD’s budget and individual property assessments. Linear frontage and parcel size are normally not altered in the redevelopment of a site. Changes to assessments are more likely to occur upon increases to building square footages.

Changes may also occur upon the conversion of single parcels to multiple parcels due to the construction of residential and/or commercial condominiums.

Bonds
The Downtown El Cajon CBD will not issue any bonds related to any program.

Operating Budget
A projected operating budget, based upon the local enabling ordinance, has an initial 5 -year term and may be renewed for up to 20 years more. This Management District Plan has listed the maximum percentage of allowable annual increases based upon the current data within the Downtown El Cajon CBD, with the following assumptions:
 Assessments may be subject to annual increase , based upon the action of the Greater Downtown El Cajon Improvement Association Board, not to exceed 7% per year.  Changes in land use, demolition of existing buildings, and new development will occur and will change the improvements to that parcel, normally due to redevelopment of the site and the addition of new building square footage which shall be assessed based upon the provisions laid out in this Management District Plan.

The budget for specific programs listed may be reallocated within each budget category by up to 10% during the term of the Downtown El Cajon CBD. The Management Corporation Board may alter the budget based upon service needs and such changes shall be included in the Annual report and submitted to the El Cajon City Council for review and approval. 20 Five-Year Projection of Maximum Assessment for the

Assessment Methodology
The proposed Downtown El Cajon CBD is a property-based special benefit assessment district being established pursuant to the El Cajon local enabling ordinance, Chapter 2.90 added to Title 2 of the El Cajon Municipal Code, as well as sub-sections of Section 36600 of the California Streets and Highway Code. Due to the special benefit nature of assessments levied within a CBD, program costs are to be distributed amongst all identified specially benefited properties based on the proportional amount of special program benefits each property is expected to derive from the assessments collected.

The state constitution refers to the requirement that relative benefit received from CBD funded programs and activities be used to determine the amount of assessment paid. Only those properties expected to derive special benefits from CBD funded programs and activities may be assessed, and only in an amount proportional to the relative special benefits expected to be received.

General vs. Special Benefits
As provided by Proposition 218, assessment of Downtown El Cajon CBD programs and activities confer a combination of general and special benefits to properties, but the only program benefits that can be assessed are those that provide special benefit to the assessed properties. “Special Benefit” as defined by the California State Constitution, Article XIII (d), means “ a particular and distinct benefit over and above general benefits conferred on real property located in the Downtown El Cajon CBD or to the public at large.” For the purposes of this analysis, “General Benefits” are benefits provided within the Downtown El Cajon CBD that are not special in nature, are not "particular and distinct," and are not over and above the benefits that other city parcels receive.

General benefits are not restricted to benefits conferred only on persons and property outside the assessment district but can include benefits both conferred on real property located in the Downtown El Cajon CBD or to the public at large. “At large” means not limited to any person and means all members of the public, including those who live, work, and shop within the Downtown El Cajon CBD, and not simply transient visitors.

The property uses within the boundaries of the proposed Downtown El Cajon CBD, which will receive special benefits from CBD funded programs and services are currently a mix of retail, service, office, religious, residential, public visitor related, cultural, and parking.

Parcels that receive the special benefit programs, services and improvements outlined in this Management District Plan will attract more customers, employees, tenants, and investors as a result of these programs, services and improvements, thereby increasing business volumes, sales transactions, occupancies, and rental income, and for future residents, make Downtown El Cajon more walkable, attractive, and livable. These benefits are particular and distinct in that they are 22 not provided to non-assessed parcels within or outside of the Downtown El Cajon CBD. Because these programs, services and improvements will only be provided to each individual assessed parcel within the Downtown El Cajon CBD boundaries, these programs, services and improvements will constitute "special benefits.”
Existing City of El Cajon services will not be replaced or duplicated by the Downtown El Cajon CBD funded services . T he purpose of this Downtown El Cajon CBD is to fund supplemental programs, improvements, and services within the CBD boundaries above and beyond what is currently being funded either via normal tax supported methods or other funding sources. The assessments to be levied on parcels within the Downtown El Cajon CBD are for services, programs and improvements directly benefiting each individual parcel within this area and support increased cleanliness, commerce, business attraction and retention, increased commercial property rental income and improved District identity. No CBD funded services, activities or programs will be provided beyond the Downtown El Cajon CBD boundaries.

While every attempt is made to provide CBD services and programs to confer benefits only to those identified assessed parcels within the Downtown El Cajon CBD, the California State Constitution, Article XIII D, was added via Proposition 218 to provide that general benefits exist, either by design or unintentionally, in all assessment Downtown El Cajon CBDs and that a portion of the program costs must be considered attributable to general benefits and assigned a value.

General benefits cannot be funded by assessment revenues. General benefits might be conferred on parcels within the Downtown El Cajon CBD, or “spillover” onto parcels surrounding the Downtown El Cajon CBD, or to the public at large who might be passing through the Downtown El Cajon CBD with no intention of transacting business or residing within the Downtown El Cajon CBD or interest in the Downtown El Cajon CBD itself. Empirical assessment engineering analysis throughout California has found that general benefits within a given similar special benefit Downtown El Cajon CBD tend to range from 1-5% of the total costs.

There are three methods that have been used by the Downtown El Cajon CBD Assessment Engineer for determining general and special benefit values within assessment Downtown El Cajon CBDs:

1. The parcel-by-parcel allocation method

2. The program/activity line-item allocation method, and

3. The composite Downtown El Cajon CBD overlay determinant method.

A majority of PBIDs and CBDs in California for which the Assessment Engineer has provided assessment engineering services since the enactment of Proposition 218, have used Method #3, the composite Downtown El Cajon CBD overlay determinant method, which will be used for this CBD. This method of computing the value of general benefit involves a composite of three distinct types of general benefit – general benefit to assessed parcels within the Downtown El Cajon CBD, general benefit to the public at large within the Downtown El Cajon CBD, and general benefit to parcels outside the Downtown El Cajon CBD.
23 Downtown El Cajon CBD Programs and Improvements
The total special and general benefit program activities and budget allocations that will be provided to each individual parcel assessed in the proposed Downtown El Cajon CBD are shown in the chart below:

Contingency $24,225 $486 $24,711 3%
Total $793,225 $16,188 $809,413 100%
All program costs associated with general benefits will be derived from sources or credits other than CBD assessments. Sample “other” revenue sources can be derived from special events, grants, volunteer hours, and must simply equal a total of $16,188 per year, which would equal the general benefit cost of 2% of the computed total CBD cost $793,225 from the table above.

Here, program costs are spread among property variables that are common to each parcel include linear frontage, lot or parcel size and building square footage, and residential condominium parcels and benefit zone. Assessed valuation cannot be used as the basis for revenue generation in the state of California since Proposition 13 sets the assessed valuation at the time of purchase of the parcel, therefore adjacent parcels may be similar in size, but have different assessed valuations. We must therefore spread the assessments among the consistent factors of each parcel, based upon 2025 data.

Explanation of Difference in Benefit Zone Assessments
Benefit Zone 1 parcels will be assessed at a higher rate since they will have the highest frequency of Civil Sidewalks and District Identity services due to the amount of foot traffic in and around the parcels fronting along Main Street and Magnolia Avenue, which represents the core area of the Downtown El Cajon CBD. Benefit Zone 1 properties are the historic core of Downtown El Cajon’s Downtown El Cajon CBD dating back almost 120 years, and built around Main Street and Magnolia Avenue. The individual parcels being assessed include high-quality retail, restaurants, services, civic buildings, parking lots and structures, residential, office, hotel, and residential condos and apartments. These parcels will benefit the most from the CBD special benefit services, therefore their assessments have been made to fund the costs of services to these 24 parcels. Civil Sidewalk Services shall be provided approximately 6 – 7 times per week for Benefit Zone 1 parcel owners, based upon a full crew of cleaning and landscaping personnel.

Benefits Zone 2 parcels represent the parcels west of the intersection of El Cajon Boulevard and Main Street, as well as the parcels not fronting along Main Street and Magnolia Avenue to the Interstate 8 freeway. The predominant uses of Benefit Zone 2 parcels are office space, various office and retail, and other commercial uses. Since they will be receiving services 4 - 5 days per week, their annual assessments have been reduced to accommodate this weekly schedule and uses. The costs in Benefit Zone 2 are lower than those of Benefit Zone 1 due to the lack of density in this portion of the Downtown El Cajon CBD and the lack of intense pedestrian activity that is found in Benefit Zone 1 properties, with the core areas around Main Street and Magnolia Avenue.

Linear Frontage Defined
Individual parcels will be assessed for all sides of each parcel fronting a public street. Alley frontage is not assessed. Each side of the parcel (excluding alley areas) will receive Civil Sidewalks special benefit services based upon the frequency of services articulated in this plan, linear front footage data was obtained from the County Assessor’s parcel maps.

Building Square Footage Defined
Building square footage is defined as gross building square footage for any parcel throughout the Downtown El Cajon CBD.

Lot Square Footage Defined
Lot square footage is defined as the total amount of area within the borders of the parcel. The lot square footage of a parcel has been verified by the County Assessor’s parcel maps.

Commercial Condominium Parcels Defined
Ground floor commercial condominiums will be treated as independent “mini” commercial buildings and assessed based on their actual building square footage, the footprint of land they cover or lot size of the commercial condominium , and the amount of direct primary street frontage on the exterior of the building. Ground floor commercial condominiums will pay 100% of the special benefits for the assessment, based upon which benefit zone they are within.

Current and Future Residential Condominium Unit Parcels Defined Current and future residential condominium unit square footage is defined as the livable building square footage within the walls of the condominium residential unit parcel. They are included in a special category to designate their unique special benefits relative to the commercial parcels within the Downtown El Cajon CBD. Unlike the commercial parcels in the Downtown El Cajon CBD, including commercially operated apartment buildings, residential condominium parcels are assessed for building square footage only, and are not assessed for linear frontage and lot square footage.

Current and future residential condominium parcels are assessed as a separate category. These residential condominium individual parcels will be assessed for their unit square footage only at 25 the rate of $0.10 per square foot per year for the fi rst year in Benefit Zone 1 and $0.09 for the first year in Benefit Zone 2. The rationale for assessing future residential condominiums only for the unit square footage rate is provided below.

Residential condominium parcels are assessed differently than multi-unit, market rate apartment rental buildings, as well as legally mandated affordable units due to the frequency of special benefit services required by each parcel as described below. The multi-unit apartment buildings are commercial properties in which the tenant and landlord have a n economic relationship as opposed to residential condominium buildings where individual property owners own separate “air space parcels” on a single floor. Future residential apartment buildings can be bought or sold just like commercial buildings, whereas residential condominium individual units are separately owned and must be individually bought and sold.

Distinctions between residential apartment buildings with tenants and residential condominium building with individual parcel owners are explained as follows:

1. The Davis Sterling Act establishes rules and regulations for residential condominium owners based upon “separate interests” (i.e., ownership rights), as opposed to renters who only have a possessory interest.

2. Generally, residential condominium unit owners demonstrate greater care for their property and concerns about quality-of-life issues due to their investment in real estate.

3. Residential owners and have the right to vote in a Proposition 218 hearing, tenants do not have that right.

4. Residential condominium owners are required to contribute to legally established Homeowners Associations to oversee building maintenance, tenants are not.

5. Residential tenants may have their dwelling units sold or have their rent raised arbitrarily due to the lack of ownership of their residential units.

The assessment methodology has been written to confer special benefits to current and future residential condominium individual assessed parcels since future residential condominium owners have unique expectations about the care and maintenance of the building and its surroundings compared to the interest of residential tenants who have a possessory not an ownership interest.

Exemptions or Reductions in Rates
Under this Management District Plan and consistent with Proposition 218 and Article XIII (D) of the State Constitution, no parcel receiving special benefits from the establishment of a property assessment Downtown El Cajon CBD is exempt from payment of the assessment. There may be adjustments to the special benefits and related assessments based upon non-functional building square footage or large private parking lots to the lot size of a specific parcel. Those adjustments would be made on a case-by-case basis based upon the determination that lot size, linear frontage and building square footage may not be accessible to the public at large and therefore could not benefit from the services provided by the new Downtown El Cajon CBD. It is up to each parcel owner to inform the Downtown El Cajon CBD Management Corporation of any proposed 26 reduction in annual lot size assessments due to exclusive use of parcel parking lots for their customers, and which are not open to non-customers.

Calculation of Assessments
The proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel shall be determined in relationship to the entirety of the improvement or the maintenance and operation expenses of an improvement, or for the cost of property service being provided. Per California Constitution Article XIII D, Section 2(i), “Special Benefit,” means a particular and distinct benefit over and above general benefits conferred on a real property located in the Downtown El Cajon CBD or to the public at large. No assessment will be imposed on any parcel that exceeds the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefits conferred upon that parcel. Only special benefits are assessable, and these benefits must be separated from any general benefits. Properties are assessed as defined on the County Assessor’s most current parcel maps. The preceding methodology is applied to the database of parcels within the boundaries of the Downtown El Cajon CBD. The process in compiling the property database includes the following steps:
 A report was generated from data obtained from the San Diego County Tax Assessor’s office.
 A list of properties to be included within the Downtown El Cajon CBD is provided in Section

7. First Year Parcel Assessment Calculation
The annual assessment method to calculate all parcels for Benefit Zone 1 will be:

Total Linear Frontage x $4.00 per foot
+
Total Building Square footage X $0.10 per sq. ft.
+
Total Lot Size x $0.07 per square foot
= TOTAL PARCEL ASSESSMENT
The annual assessment method to calculate the residential condominiums in Benefit Zone 1:

Total Residential Condo Unit Square footage X $0.10 per square foot= Total Parcel Assessment The annual assessment method to calculate all parcels for Benefit Zone 2 will be:

Total Linear Frontage x $3.50 per square foot
+
Total Building Square footage x $0.09 per square foot
+
Total Lot Size x $0.06 per square foot
=

TOTAL PARCEL ASSESSMENT
27 The annual assessment method to calculate the residential condominiums in Benefit Zone 2:

Total Residential Condo Unit Square footage X $0.09 per square foot= Total Parcel Assessment Future Development
As a result of continued new development, the Downtown El Cajon CBD will experience the addition or subtraction of assessable commercial and residential buildings or the conversion of vacant parcels into new commercial and residential units. The Management District Plan assessment methodology will reflect all land use changes in the Downtown El Cajon CBD with annual adjustments being submitted to the City, as these assessment calculations and property variable alterations occur. Undeveloped parcels within the boundaries of the proposed Downtown CBD will pay only for linear frontage and lot size assessments due to the lack of building square footage on the parcel. If that parcel is redeveloped, the building assessments will be levied on that parcel as soon as a certificate of occupancy has been issued to that owner, by the City of El Cajon.

Maximum Annual Assessment Adjustments:

Assessments may be subject to annual increases not to exceed 7% per year. Increases will be determined by the Management Corporation, the Greater Downtown El Cajon Improvement Association, and will vary between 0% and 7% in any given year. The maximum the assessments may be increased is 7% over the previous fiscal year’s base assessments. The absence of increase in any given year does not give the Downtown El Cajon CBD Management Corporation the authority to accumulate increases above 7% in any successive year. The following projections illustrate a potential 7% annual increase.

The Downtown El Cajon CBD Management Plan assumes that any public or tax-exempt parcels shall pay into the Downtown El Cajon CBD in proportion to the assessments paid for services. The City, County, State, MTS, and other tax-exempt owned properties shall be assessed for building square footage, lot size, and linear frontage based upon the rates in their Benefit Zone as outlined in the management Downtown El Cajon CBD plan. Their assessments will primarily be used to fund the Civil Sidewalks/Safety and Beautification special benefit services from which they will benefit. However, the District Identity and Placemaking special benefit services share also apply to these properties since they draw public attention and attendance, and the visitors will benefit from the cleanliness, attractiveness, and order that the visitors and employees experience while working at or conducting public business at these public facilities.

Term
Under the El Cajon local enabling ordinance, the Downtown El Cajon CBD may be established for up to 20 years and shall not exceed 20 years. State law and the local enabling ordinance permits this annual disestablishment of the Downtown El Cajon CBD based upon petition and vote of the 29 property owners. The threshold needed to trigger the balloting for the formation of the Downtown El Cajon CBD is the same as the process for disestablishment of the Downtown El Cajon CBD.

Time and Manner for Collecting Assessments
The Downtown El Cajon CBD assessments will appear as a separate line item on annual property tax bills prepared by the San Diego County Tax Assessor. The assessments are collected at the same time and in the same manner as ad valorem property taxes paid to the County. The assessments have the same lien priority and penalties for delinquent payments as ad valorem property taxes. Any delinquent assessments owed for the first year will be added to the property tax roll for the following year, together with any applicable interest and penalties. The “property owner” means any person shown as the owner/taxpayer on the last equalized assessment roll or otherwise known to be the owner/taxpayer by the City. Publicly owned properties of the City and County shall not be collected by the County Tax Assessor, but rather by manual billing by the City of El Cajon. The first assessments of the new Downtown El Cajon CBD will appear in December 2026 property tax bills.

Budget Adjustments
Annual budget surpluses, if any, will be rolled into the following year’s budget. Assessments will be set annually. Revenues from delinquent accounts may be expended in the year they are received.

Disestablishment
California Streets and Highways Code section 36670 as well as the local CBD enabling ordinance provides for the disestablishment of a Downtown El Cajon CBD. Provisions for annual disestablishment of the Downtown El Cajon CBD are provided for in the local enabling ordinance. Property owners dissatisfied with the results, management or quality of the services may petition the City Council to disestablish the Downtown El Cajon CBD, in the same method in which they petitioned the City Council to establish it. The same petition threshold needed to establish the Downtown El Cajon CBD will also be needed to trigger a disestablishment of the Downtown El Cajon CBD on an annual basis. Section 36670 of the State Streets and Highway Code states:
(b) The city council shall adopt a resolution of intention to disestablish the Downtown El Cajon CBD prior to the public hearing required by this section. The resolution shall state the reason for the disestablishment, shall state the time and place of the public hearing, and shall contain a proposal to dispose of any assets acquired with the revenues of the assessments levied within the property and business improvement Downtown El Cajon CBD. The notice of the hearing on disestablishment required by this section shall be given by mail to the property owner of each parcel or to the owner of each business subject to assessment in the Downtown El Cajon CBD, as appropriate. The city shall conduct the public hearing not less than 30 days after mailing the notice to the property or business owners. The public hearing shall be held not more than 60 days after the adoption of the resolution of intention. 30 Unexpended surplus funds will be returned to property owners based upon each property owner’s percentage contribution to the previous fiscal year’s assessments.

Governance
Pursuant to Section 36650 of the California Streets and Highway Code, a Downtown El Cajon CBD Management Corporation or Owners’ Association will review Downtown El Cajon CBD budgets and policies annually within the limitations of the Management Downtown El Cajon CBD Plan.

The Management Corporation must file Annual Reports with the City of El Cajon and will oversee the day-to-day implementation of services as defined in the Management Downtown El Cajon CBD Plan. The current Management District Corporation who will continue the oversight and management of the special benefit services shall be the Greater Downtown El Cajon Improvement Association.
“Owners' association" means a private nonprofit entity that is under contract with a city to administer or implement activities and improvements specified in the management Downtown El Cajon CBD plan. An owners' association may be an existing nonprofit entity or a newly formed nonprofit entity. An owners' association is a private entity and may not be considered a public entity for any purpose, nor may its board members or staff be considered to be public officials for any purpose. (Streets & Highway. Code § 36612.) 31 32
Section 5
Downtown El Cajon CBD Rules and Regulations and Governance There are no specific rules and regulations prescribed for the proposed Downtown El Cajon Community Benefit Downtown El Cajon CBD Management Corporation except that it will adhere to the open meeting and open records provisions of the Ralph M. Brown Act and will seek to be as open and transparent to the CBD assessees and the public at large as is reasonably possible.

Pursuant to Article V and Section 36650 of the California Streets and Highway Code, the Downtown El Cajon CBD Management Corporation or Owners’ Association, will review CBD budgets and policies annually within the limitations of the Management District Plan. The Management Corporation will file Annual Reports with the City of El Cajon and will oversee the day-to-day implementation of services as defined in the Management District Plan.

Section 6
Implementation Timetable
The Downtown El Cajon CBD is expected to be established and begin assessing benefiting parcels as of the fourth quarter of calendar year 2026. Due to the timing of revenue collection by the City of El Cajon (for the first year of operation) and the need to establish the new contract between the Owners’ Association and the City of El Cajon, implementation of the Management District Plan and the delivery of services is scheduled to commence in or around the winter of 2027 around January 1, 2027.

DOWNTOWN EL CAJON CBD – ASSESSMENT ENGINEER’S REPORT
ASSESSMENT ENGINEER’S REPORT
To Whom It May Concern:

I hereby certify to the best of my professional knowledge and experience that each of the identified benefiting assessed properties located within the proposed Downtown El Cajon Community Benefit District ("DECCBD") being established for 20 years will receive a special benefit over and above the benefits conferred on the public at large and that the amount of the proposed assessment is proportional to, and no greater than the benefits conferred on each respective property. As required by State Law, I have personally prepared this entire Report and hereby attest to all of its contents.

In
troduction
This report serves as the “detailed engineer’s report” required by Section 4 of Article XIII D of the California Constitution to support the benefit property assessments to be levied within the proposed DECCBD in the City of El Cajon, California, being established for 20 years. The discussion and analysis contained within this Report constitute the required “nexus” of rationale between assessment amounts levied and special benefits derived by real properties within the proposed DECCBD.

2 DOWNTOWN EL CAJON CBD – ASSESSMENT ENGINEER’S REPORT
Background
The DECCBD is a property-based benefit assessment type district being established for 20 years, pursuant to the City of El Cajon’s Community Benefit Ordinance (the “Ordinance”), Chapter 2.90 added to Title 2 of the El Cajon Municipal Code. The CBD Ordinance was modeled after Section 36600 et seq. of the California Streets and Highways Code (as amended), also known as the Property and Business Improvement District Law of 1994 (the “Act”). Due to the benefit assessment nature of assessments levied within a community benefit district (“CBD”), district program costs are to be distributed amongst all identified benefiting properties based on the proportionate amount of special program benefit each property is projected to derive from the assessments levied. Only those properties expected to derive special benefits from CBD-funded programs and activities may be assessed, and only in an amount proportionate to the special benefits expected to be conferred on each assessed property.

Article XIII D Section 4 California Constitution
Procedures and Requirements
Proposition 218, approved by the voters of California in November of 1996, adds a supplemental array of procedures and requirements to be carried out prior to levying a property-based assessment like the DECCBD. These requirements are in addition to requirements imposed by State and local assessment enabling laws. These requirements were “chaptered” into law as Article XIII D Sect of the California Constitution (hereinafter Article XIII D).

Since Article XIII D provisions will affect all subsequent calculations to be made in the final assessment formula for the DECCBD, these supplemental requirements will be taken into account. The key provisions of Article XIII D, along with a description of how the DECCBD complies with each of these provisions, are delineated below.
(Note: All section references below pertain to Article XIII D of the California Constitution):
3 DOWNTOWN EL CAJON CBD – ASSESSMENT ENGINEER’S REPORT
Finding 1. From Section 4(a): “Identify all parcels which will have a special benefit conferred upon them and upon which an assessment will be imposed.”
Boundaries
The proposed Downtown El Cajon CBD consists of approximately 44 square blocks (blocks vary in size on each side of both Main Street and Magnolia Street), consisting of 427 parcels (374 currently assessed) owned by 284 property owners. A list of all parcels included in the proposed DECCBD is shown as Appendix 1, attached to this Report with their respective San Diego County assessor parcel number. The boundary of the proposed DECCBD and parcels within it are shown on the map of the DECCBD attached as Appendix 2 to this Report, which shall govern for the purposes of identifying assessed parcels.

Benefit Zones There are two benefit zones in the proposed DECCBD.

Zone 1: Core Area:

Zone 2: All Other Areas
In general, Zone 2 includes the peripheral parcels of the Downtown El Cajon CBD that do not front along Main Street and Magnolia Avenue and are not included in Zone 1.

Benefit Zone 1 properties front along Main Street from Roanoke Street on the east to El Cajon Boulevard/Main Street intersection on the west. Benefit Zone 1 parcels represent the core of the Downtown El Cajon CBD and are expected, due to the nature of the land uses, to derive the greatest benefit from the establishment of the Downtown El Cajon Community Benefit Downtown El Cajon CBD.

Benefit Zone 2 parcels are to be found west of the intersection of El Cajon Boulevard and Main Street running westward along Main Street up to the Metropolitan Transit System Station, parcels along both sides of El Cajon Boulevard from Main Street to Johnson Avenue, as well as parcels, that by and large, do not front along Magnolia Avenue north of Lexington Avenue on the south and Interstate 8 on the north.

All DECCBD funded services, programs and improvements provided within the above-described boundaries shall confer special benefit to identified assessed parcels inside the DECCBD boundaries and none will be 5 DOWNTOWN EL CAJON CBD – ASSESSMENT ENGINEER’S REPORT
provided outside of the DECCBD. Each assessed parcel within the DECCBD will proportionately specially benefit from the DECCBD funded Civil Sidewalks-Safety-Cleanliness, District Identity-Placemaking, Ad - ministration and Contingency-Reserve as described in more detail under “Work Plan”, beginning on page 12 of this Report. These services, programs and improvements are intended to improve commerce, employment, rents and commercial and residential occupancy rates of parcels and businesses within the DECCBD by re- ducing litter and debris , marketing the available goods and services and installing beautification elements, each considered necessary in a competitive properly managed business district . All DECCBD funded ser - vices programs and improvements are considered supplemental, above normal base level services provided by the City of El Cajon and are only provided for the special benefit of assessed parcels within the bound - aries of the DECCBD.

A list of all parcels included in the proposed DECCBD is shown as Appendix 1, attached to this Report with their respective San Diego County assessor parcel number. The boundary of the proposed DECCBD and parcels within it are shown on the map of the DECCBD attached as Appendix 2 to this Report, which shall govern for the purposes of identifying assessed parcels.

Finding 2. From Section 4(a): “Separate general benefits (if any) from the special benefits conferred on parcel(s). Only special benefits are assessable. “

QUANTITATIVE BENEFIT ANALYSIS
As stipulated in Article XIII D, assessment district programs and activities confer a combination of general and special benefits, but the only program benefits that can be assessed are those that provide special benefit to the assessed properties. For the purposes of this analysis, a “general benefit” is hereby defined as: “A benefit to properties in the area and in the surrounding community or benefit to the public in general resulting from the improvement, activity, or service to be provided by the assessment levied”. “Special benefit” as defined by Article XIII D means a distinct benefit over and above general benefits conferred on real property located in the district.

The property uses within the boundaries of the DECCBD that will receive special benefits from DECCBD funded programs and services are currently restaurants, retailers, services, office buildings, market rate and residential condominiums, apartment units, hotels, industrial and civic buildings . No parcels within the DECCBD are zoned solely residential. Services, programs and improvements provided and funded by the DECCBD are primarily designed to provide special benefits as described below to identified assessed parcels and the array of land uses within the boundaries of the DECCBD.

The proposed DECCBD programs, improvements and services and Year 1 – 2027 budget allocation are as follows:

TOTAL $476,000 $119,000 $174,000 $24,225 $793,225 100.00% Assessed parcels are conferred proportionate special benefits from all DECCBD funded programs, services and improvements which are intended to attract more customers, users, visitors, employees, tenants and investors. DECCBD programs, services and improvements are designed to increase business volumes, sales transactions, occupancies and rental income. These programs, services and improvements are designed to improve commerce and aesthetic appeal for owners, tenants, patrons, visitors and employees of these parcels within the DECCBD by reducing litter and debris , marketing the available goods and services and installing beautification elements, each considered necessary in a competitive properly managed business district.

These benefits are particular and distinct to each and every identified and assessed parcel within the DECCBD and are not provided to non-assessed parcels outside of the DECCBD. These programs, services and improvements will only be provided to each individual assessed parcel within the DECCBD boundaries and, in turn, confer proportionate special benefits to each assessed parcel.

In the case of the DECCBD, the very nature of the purpose of this CBD is to fund supplemental programs, services and improvements to assessed parcels within the DECCBD boundaries above and beyond what is being currently funded either via normal tax supported methods or other funding sources. All benefits derived from the assessments to be levied on assessed parcels within the DECCBD are for services, programs and improvements directly and specially benefiting each individual assessed parcel within the DECCBD. No DECCBD funded services, activities or programs will be provided outside of the DECCBD boundaries.

While every attempt is made to provide DECCBD services and programs to confer special benefits only to those identified assessed parcels within the DECCBD, Article XIII D stipulates that general benefits exist (either by design or unintentional) in all assessment districts and that a portion of the program costs must be considered attributable to general benefits and assigned a value. General benefits cannot be funded by assessment revenues.

Empirical assessment engineering analyses throughout California have found that general benefits within a given assessment district tend to range from 2-6% of the total costs. A majority of assessment districts in California for which this Assessment Engineer has provided assessment engineering services in conformance with Article XIII D have used the composite district overlay determinant method of computing general benefits which will be used for the DECCBD. This method of computing the value of general benefit involves a composite of three distinct types of general benefit – general benefit to assessed parcels within the DECCBD, general benefit to the public at large within the DECCBD and general benefit to parcels outside the DECCBD.

General Benefit – Assessed Parcels within the DECCBD
DECCBD funded programs are narrowly designed and carefully implemented to specially benefit the assessed DECCBD parcels and are only provided for the special benefit to each and every assessed parcel within the DECCBD. It is the opinion of this Engineer, based on over 30 years of professional assessment engineering experience, that nearly 100% of benefits conferred on the 374 assessed parcels within the DECCBD are distinct and special. In the case of the DECCBD, it is projected that there are 0.25% general benefits conferred on these parcels. This high ratio of special benefits to general benefits is because the DECCBD funded programs and services are specially geared to the unique needs of each parcel within 7 DOWNTOWN EL CAJON CBD – ASSESSMENT ENGINEER’S REPORT
the DECCBD and are directed specially only to these parcels within the DECCBD. This concept is further reinforced by the proportionality of special benefits conferred on each parcel within the DECCBD as determined by the special benefit assessment formula as it is applied to the unique and varying property characteristics of each parcel and the benefit zone in which it is located. The computed 0.25% general benefit value on the 285 parcels within the DECCBD equates to $1,983 or (.0025 x $793,225).

General Benefits – Spillover to Outside Parcels
While DECCBD programs and services will not be provided directly to parcels outside the DECCBD boundaries, it is reasonable to conclude that DECCBD services may confer an indirect general benefit on parcels adjacent to the DECCBD boundaries. An inventory of the DECCBD boundaries finds that the DECCBD is immediately surrounded by 136 parcels. Of these, 25 are commercial/industrial zoned parcels with commercial/industrial uses and 111 are residentially used parcels or public/non-profit owned parcels with public/non-profit uses.

The 136 parcels directly outside the DECCBD boundaries can reasonably be assumed to receive some indirect general benefit as a result of DECCBD funded programs, services and improvements. Based on over 30 years of assessment engineering experience, it is the opinion of this Engineer that a benefit factor of 1.0 be attributed to the 374 assessed parcels within the DECCBD, a benefit factor of 0.05 be attributed to general benefits conferred on the 25 commercial/industrial parcels and uses located adjacent to or across the street from assessed parcels within the DECCBD, and a benefit factor of 0.010 be attributed to general benefits conferred on the 111 residential or publicly owned/non-profit parcels and uses located adjacent to or across the street from assessed parcels within the DECCBD. The cumulative dollar value of this general benefit type equates to $5,005 ($2,651 + $2,354) as delineated in the following Table:

Other Parcels Out 111 0.0100 1.110 0.2949% $2,354
SUBTOTAL 376.360 100.00% $798,231
General Benefit - Public At Large
While the DECCBD funded programs are narrowly designed and carefully implemented to specially benefit the assessed DECCBD parcels and are only provided for the special benefit to each and every assessed parcel within the DECCBD, these programs also provide general benefits to the public at large within the DECCBD.

For the proposed DECCBD activities, assessment engineering experience in California has found that generally over 95% of people moving about within similar district boundaries are engaged in business related to assessed parcels and businesses contained located within them, while the public at large “just passing through” is typically 5% or less.

Based on the nature of the proposed DECCBD funded programs and over 30 years of assessment engineering experience, it is the opinion of this Assessment Engineer that districtwide general benefit factors for each of the DECCBD funded special benefit program element costs that provide a general benefit to the public at large are as shown in the Table below. These factors are applied to each program element cost in order to compute the dollar and percent value of districtwide general benefits to the public 8 DOWNTOWN EL CAJON CBD – ASSESSMENT ENGINEER’S REPORT
at large. The total dollar value of this general benefit type, public at large, equates to $8,726 as delineated in the following Table:

Composite General Benefit
Based on the general benefit values delineated in the three sections above, the total value of general benefits conferred on assessed parcels within the DECCBD, the public at large and spillover to parcels outside the ECCBD equates to $15,714 ($1,983 + $8,726 + $5,005). Total program costs are estimated to be $808,939. This Assessment Engineer has determined that the general benefit value portion of this equates to $15,714 or 1.9425% of the total estimated DECCBD program costs. The general benefit percentage will now be conservatively rounded up to 2.0% of the total program costs or $16,188 with the total program costs now at $809,413. Subtracting the composite general benefit value of $16,188 from the total estimated program cost of $809,413 results in a special benefit value of $793,225. This is the total amount of assessments to be levied on the 374 assessed parcels in the proposed DECCBD for Year 1- 2027. General benefit costs of $16,188 will need to be funded by other non-assessment sources.

A breakdown of projected special and general benefit costs for each year of first 10 years of the proposed 20-year term is shown in the following Table:

DECCBD WORK PLAN
Overview
The services, programs and improvements to be funded by the DECCBD include Civil Sidewalks-Safety- Cleanliness, District Identity-Placemaking, Administration and Contingency-Reserve . The property uses within the boundaries of the DECCBD that will receive special benefits from DECCBD funded programs, services and improvements are currently a unique mix of restaurants, retailers, services, office buildings, market rate and residential condominiums, apartment units, hotels, industrial and civic buildings. Services, programs and improvements provided and funded by the DECCBD are primarily designed to provide special benefits as described below to identified assessed parcels within the boundaries of the DECCBD.

These special benefits are particular and distinct to each and every identified assessed parcel within the DECCBD and are not provided to non-assessed parcels outside of the DECCBD. These programs, services and improvements will only be provided to each individual assessed parcel within the DECCBD boundaries and, in turn, confer proportionate "special benefits” to each assessed parcel.

The very nature of the purpose of the DECCBD is to fund supplemental programs, services and improvements to assessed parcels within the DECCBD boundaries above and beyond the baseline services provided by the City of El Cajon. The City of El Cajon does not provide these supplemental programs and services. All benefits derived from the assessments to be levied on assessed parcels within the DECCBD are for services, programs and improvements directly benefiting each individual assessed parcel within the DECCBD. No DECCBD funded services, activities or programs will be provided outside of the DECCBD boundaries.

The program special benefit cost allocations of the DECCBD assessment revenues for Year 1-2027 are shown in the Table on page 15 of this Report. The projected program special benefit cost allocations of the DECCBD assessment revenues for the first 10 years of the proposed 20-year term of the DECCBD, 13 DOWNTOWN EL CAJON CBD – ASSESSMENT ENGINEER’S REPORT assuming a 7% maximum annual assessment rate increase, are shown in the Table on page 16 of this Report.

WORK PLAN DETAILS
The services to be provided by the DECCBD (i.e. Civil Sidewalks-Safety-Cleanliness, District Identity- Placemaking, Administration and Contingency-Reserve) are all designed to contribute to the cohesive mixed-use urban fabric to ensure economic success and vitality of each assessed parcel within the proposed DECCBD. The assessed parcels in the DECCBD will specially benefit from the DECCBD programs in the form of increasing commerce and improving economic success and vitality through meeting the DECCBD Goals: to improve cleanliness, beautification, landscaping and to attract and retain businesses and services, generate more pedestrian and visitor traffic and to increase commerce and improve the economic viability of each individual assessed parcel for businesses, patrons and residents.

Assessed parcels are conferred proportionate special benefits from all DECCBD funded programs, services and improvements which are intended to attract more customers, users, visitors, employees, tenants, residents and investors. DECCBD programs, services and improvements are designed to increase business volumes, sales transactions, occupancies and rental income. These programs, services and improvements are designed to improve commerce and aesthetic appeal for owners, business and residential tenants, patrons, visitors and employees of these parcels within the DECCBD by reducing litter and debris , marketing the available goods and services and installing beautification elements, each considered necessary in a competitive properly managed mixed-use business district.

The following programs, services and improvements are proposed by the DECCBD to specially benefit each and every individually assessed parcel within the DECCBD boundaries. DECCBD services, programs and improvements will not be provided to parcels outside the DECCBD boundary.

In order to carry out the DECCBD programs outlined in the previous section, a Year 1-2027 assessment budget of $793,225 is projected. Since the DECCBD is being proposed for a 20-year term, projected program costs for future years (Years 2-20) are set at the inception of the DECCBD. While future inflationary and other program cost increases are unknown at this point, a maximum increase of 7% per year, commensurate to special benefits conferred on each assessed parcel, is incorporated into the projected program costs and assessment rates for the DECCBD.

Funding carryovers, if any, may be reapportioned the following year for related programs, services and improvements in accordance with the Management District Plan. Detailed annual budgets will be prepared by the Property Owners’ Association Board and included in the Annual Report for the City Council’s review and approval.

It is recognized that market conditions may cause the cost of providing goods and services to fluctuate from year to year for the proposed DECCBD. Accordingly, the Owners’ Association shall have the ability to reallocate any budget line item within the budget categories up to 10% of total budget from each year’s percentage in the Management District Plan subject to the review and approval by the Owners’ Association Board. Any proposed variation that exceeds 10% of the total budget shall be subject to review and approval from the City Manager’s Office. Any surplus or unspent funds, per category, shall be accumulated year to year over the life of the DECCBD. Such reallocation will be included in the Annual Report for approval by the City of El Cajon City Council pursuant to related City policies.

Any accrued interest or delinquent payments may be expended in any budget category in accordance with the Management District Plan.

The projected DECCBD special benefit budget for the first 10 years of the proposed 20-year DECCBD term is shown in the following Table:

17 DOWNTOWN EL CAJON CBD – ASSESSMENT ENGINEER’S REPORT The DECCBD assessments may increase for each individual parcel each year during the life of the DECCBD, but not to exceed 7% per year, commensurate to special benefits received by each assessed parcel and must be approved by the Owners’ Association Board of Directors, included in the Annual Report and adopted by the City of El Cajon City Council. Any accrued interest and delinquent payments will be expended within the budgeted categories. The Owners’ Association Board of the Directors (“Property Owners’ Association of the DECCBD) shall determine the percentage increase, if any, to the annual assessment, not to exceed 7% per year. The Owners’ Association Executive Director shall communicate the annual increase to the City each year in which the DECCBD operates at a time determined in the Administration Contract held between the Owners’ Association and the City of El Cajon. No bonds are to be issued in conjunction with the proposed DECCBD.

Pursuant to the Ordinance, any funds remaining after each year of operation will be rolled over into the next year’s budget or returned to stakeholders in accordance with the Ordinance. If the DECCBD is terminated for any reason or disestablished, unencumbered/unexpended funds will be returned to the property owners in accordance with the Ordinance.

Finding 3. From Section 4(a): “(Determine) the proportionate special benefit derived by each parcel in relationship to the entirety of the..........cost of public improvement(s) or the maintenance and operation expenses...........or the cost of the property related service being provided.

Each identified assessed parcel within the DECCBD will be assessed based on property characteristics unique only to that parcel. Based on the specific needs and corresponding nature of the program activities to be funded by the proposed DECCBD (i.e. Civil Sidewalks-Safety-Cleanliness, District Identity- Placemaking, Administration and Contingency-Reserve ), it is the opinion of this Assessment Engineer that the assessment factors on which to base assessment rates relate directly to the proportionate amount of building area, land area and street frontage of each parcel except as note herein within two benefit zones.

The calculated assessment rates are applied to the actual measured parameters of each parcel and thereby are proportional to each and every other identified assessed parcel within the DECCBD as a whole. Larger parcels and those with larger buildings and/or street frontage are projected to impact the demand for services and programs to a greater extent than smaller parcels or smaller buildings or street frontages and thus, are assigned a greater proportionate degree of assessment program and service costs. The proportionality is further achieved by setting targeted formula component weights for the respective parcel by parcel identified property attributes and benefit zone in which it is located.

The proportionate special benefit cost for each parcel has been calculated based on proportionate formula components and is listed in the Management District Plan and this Report. The individual percentages (i.e. proportionate relationship to the total special benefit related program and activity costs) are computed by dividing the individual parcel assessment by the total special benefit program related costs.

Finding 4. From Section 4(a): “No assessment shall be imposed on any parcel which exceeds the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel.” Not only are the proposed program costs reasonable due to the benefit of group purchasing and contracting 18 DOWNTOWN EL CAJON CBD – ASSESSMENT ENGINEER’S REPORT which would be possible through the proposed DECCBD, they are also considerably less than other options considered by the DECCBD Formation Advisory Committee. The actual assessment rates for each parcel within the DECCBD directly relate to the level of service and, in turn, special benefit to be conferred on each parcel based on the respective amount of building area, land area and street frontage of each parcel except as note herein within two benefit zones.

Finding 5. From Section 4(a): “Parcels........that are owned or used by any (public) agency shall not be exempt from assessment..........”
Article XIII D states that “parcels within a District that are owned or used by any agency, the State of California or the United States shall not be exempt from assessment unless the agency can demonstrate by clear and convincing evidence that those publicly-owned parcels in fact receive no special benefit.” There are currently 26 publicly owned parcels within the boundaries of the proposed DECCBD - they are owned by the City of El Cajon, the County of San Diego, San Diego Gas & Electric, El Cajon Housing Authority, San Diego Metro Transit and the State of California.

For assessed publicly owned parcels and facilities, each of these parcels specially benefit from proposed DECCBD funded programs and services from cleaner facility entrances and perimeters. In addition, the proposed DECCBD funded marketing and district identity programs benefit publicly owned parcels by announcing public events and activities held at these public facilities and apprise employees of important DECCBD news and events. These services and programs are designed to improve the cleanliness and usability of each publicly owned assessed parcel and facility within the DECCBD by reducing litter and debris, marketing the available goods and services in the proposed DECCBD and installing physical improvements, each considered necessary for public facilities within a mixed-use business district.

It is the opinion of this Assessment Engineer that there is no clear and convincing evidence that these publicly owned parcels would not receive proportionate special benefits and thus, are not exempt from assessments nor assessed differently than privately owned parcels.

This report serves as the “detailed engineer’s report” to support the benefit property assessments proposed to be levied within the proposed DECCBD.

Finding 7. From Section 4(c): “The amount of the proposed assessment for each parcel shall be calculated (along with) the total amount thereof chargeable to the entire district, the duration of such payments, the reason for such assessment and the basis upon which the amount of the proposed assessment was calculated.”
The individual and total parcel assessments attributable to special property benefits are shown in Appendix 1 of this Report. The proposed DECCBD and resultant assessment levies will continue for 20 years unless disestablished. The reasons for the proposed assessments are outlined in Finding 2 above as well as in the Management District Plan. The calculation basis of the proposed assessment is attributed to building area, land area and street frontage of each parcel except as note herein within two benefit zones.

Assessment Formula Methodology
Step 1. Select “Benefit Unit(s)”
Background - Assessment Formula Development
The method used to determine special benefits derived by each identified assessed property within a CBD begins with the selection of a suitable and tangible basic benefit unit. For property related services, such as those proposed in the DECCBD, the benefit unit may be measured in linear feet of street frontage or parcel size in square feet or building size in square feet or any combination of these factors. Factor quantities for each parcel are then measured or otherwise ascertained. From these figures, the amount of benefit units to be assigned to each property can be calculated. Special circumstances such as unique geography, land uses, development constraints etc. are carefully reviewed relative to specific programs 20 DOWNTOWN EL CAJON CBD – ASSESSMENT ENGINEER’S REPORT and improvements to be funded by a CBD in order to determine any levels of different benefit that may apply on a parcel-by-parcel or categorical basis.

Based on the factors described above such as geography and nature of programs and activities proposed, an assessment formula is developed which is derived from a singular or composite benefit unit factor or factors. Within the assessment formula, different factors may be assigned different “weights” or percentage of values based on their relationship to programs/services to be funded.

Next, all program and activity costs, including incidental costs, administration and ancillary program costs, are estimated. It is noted, as stipulated in Article XIII D Section 4(b) of the California Constitution, and now required of all property-based assessment districts, indirect or general benefit related costs may not be incorporated into the assessment formula and levied on the district properties; only direct or “special” benefits related costs may be used. Indirect or general benefits, if any, must be identified and, if quantifiable, calculated and factored out of the assessment cost basis to produce a “net” cost figure. In addition, Article XIII D Section 4(b) of the California Constitution also no longer automatically exempts publicly owned property from being assessed unless the respective public agency can provide clear and convincing evidence that their property does not specially benefit from the programs and services to be funded by the proposed special assessments. If special benefit is determined to be conferred upon such properties, they must be assessed in proportion to special benefits conferred in a manner similar to privately owned property assessments. (See pages 18-19 of this Report for discussion regarding publicly owned parcels within the DECCBD).

From the estimated program costs, the value of a benefit unit or “unit cost” can be computed by dividing the total amount of estimated program costs by the total number of benefit units. The amount of assessment for each parcel can be computed at this time by multiplying the Unit Cost times the number of Benefit Units per parcel. This is known as “spreading the assessment” or the “assessment spread” in that all costs are allocated proportionately or “spread” amongst all benefitting properties within the CBD.

The method and basis of spreading program costs varies from one CBD to another based on local geographic conditions, types of programs and activities proposed, and size and development complexity of the district. CBDs may require secondary benefit zones to be identified to allow for a tiered assessment formula for variable or stepped-down benefits derived.

DECCBD Assessment Formula
Based on the specific needs and corresponding nature of the program activities to be funded by the proposed DECCBD (i.e. Civil Sidewalk-Safety-Cleanliness, District Identity-Placemaking, Administration and Contingency-Reserve) it is the opinion of this Assessment Engineer that the assessment factors on which to base assessment rates relate directly to the proportionate amount of building area, land area and street frontage of each parcel except as note herein within two benefit zones.

The “Benefit Units” will be expressed as a combined function of gross building square footage (Benefit Unit “A”), land area (Benefit Unit “B”), street frontage (Benefit Unit “C”) and interior building pad area for residential condominiums (Benefit Unit “D”). Based on the shape of the proposed DECCBD, as well as the nature of the work program, it is determined that all identified properties will gain a direct and proportionate degree of special benefit based on the respective amount of building area, land area and street frontage. It is noted and explained in more detail on page 21 under “Special Assessment Circumstances” that residential condominiums will be assessed based only on interior building pad square footage of each unit.
21 DOWNTOWN EL CAJON CBD – ASSESSMENT ENGINEER’S REPORT There are two benefit zones within the proposed DECCBD. The targeted weights of assessment revenue for Zones 1 & 2 is about 50% each. The actual assessment revenue projected to be generated by Zone 1 is

51.7716%. The actual assessment revenue projected to be generated by Zone 2 is 48.2284%.

Benefit Zone 1 parcels will be assessed at a higher rate since they will have the highest frequency of Civil Sidewalks and District Identity services due to the amount of foot traffic in and around the parcels fronting along Main Street and Magnolia which represents the core area of the Downtown El Cajon CBD. Benefit Zone 1 properties are the historic core of Downtown El Cajon’s Downtown El Cajon CBD dating back almost 120 years and built around Main and Magnolia Streets. The individual parcels being assessed include high quality retail, restaurants, services, civic buildings, parking lots and structures, residential, office, hotel and residential condos and apartments. These parcels will benefit the most from the CBD special benefit services, therefore their assessments have been made to fund the costs of services to these parcels. Civil Sidewalk Services shall be provided approximately 6 – 7 times per week for Benefit Zone 1 parcel owners, based upon a full crew of cleaning and landscaping personnel.

Benefits Zone 2 parcels represent the parcels west of the intersection of El Cajon Boulevard and Main Street as well as the parcels not fronting along Main and Magnolia Street to the Interstate 8 freeway. The predominant uses of Benefit Zone 2 parcels are office space, various office and retail and other commercial uses. Since they will be getting services 4 - 5 days per week, their annual assessments have been reduced to accommodate this weekly schedule and uses. The costs in Benefit Zone 2 are lower than those of Benefit Zone 1 due to the lack of density in this portion of the Downtown El Cajon CBD and the lack of intense pedestrian activity that is found in Benefit Zone 1 properties with the core areas around Main and Magnolia.

Assessment Factors
The interaction of building area, land area and street frontage quantities is a common method of fairly and equitably spreading special benefit costs to the beneficiaries of CBD funded services, programs and improvements. These factors directly relate to the proportion of special benefit each assessed parcel will receive from DECCBD funded activities, programs and improvements.

Building Area (Benefit Units A+D) is a direct measure of the static utilization of each parcel and its corresponding impact or draw on DECCBD funded activities. The targeted revenue weight of Building Area (Units A+D) is about 25%. Unit A+D will actually generate 27.1398% of the overall assessment revenue
Land Area (Benefit Unit B) is a direct measure of the current and future development capacity of each parcel and its corresponding impact or draw on DECCBD funded activities. The targeted revenue weight of Land Area (Unit B) is about 50%. Unit B will actually generate 49.4016% of the overall assessment revenue.

Street Frontage (Benefit Unit C) is a direct measure of each parcel’s corresponding impact or draw on DECCBD funded activities. The targeted revenue weight of Street Frontage (Unit C) is about 25%. Unit B will actually generate 23.4584% of the overall assessment revenue.

Special Assessment Circumstances

1. Residential Condominiums
22 DOWNTOWN EL CAJON CBD – ASSESSMENT ENGINEER’S REPORT There are currently 94 residential condominium parcels within the boundaries of the DECCBD with many more planned. It is noted that there are 58 condos either under construction or soon to be built for which there is not currently any internal unit building area figures available and thus, no assessment amounts can be calculated. Residential condos will be assessed as a separate category. It is the opinion of this Assessment Engineer that residential condominium parcels will proportionately specially benefit from DECCBD funded programs and activities, but differently than commercial parcels and other residential parcels with multiple units on them. As such, based on the development configuration of such units which are generally multi floor buildings with no direct land or street frontage, the assessments for residential condominiums shall be assessed based solely on the internal building area of each residential condominium unit at the rate of $0.10 per square foot of internal building pad area in Zone 1 and $0.09 per square foot of internal building pad area in Zone 2, subject to any approved annual rate increases.

2. Commercial and Mixed-Use Condominiums
While no mixed-use condominiums currently exist within the DECCBD, ground floor commercial condominiums within the DECCBD shall be assessed based on actual land area covered, condominium building area and direct street frontage for each unit. Because such uses are typically developed as part of a multi-floor mixed-use complex, special methodologies are needed to address the levy of assessments on such land uses as follows:

Multi-Floor Commercial Only Condominiums (Upper Floors) - Building area assessed at respective building area rate Multi-Floor Mixed-Use Condominiums
- Commercial condo (See above for ground floor and upper floor locations) - Residential condo (See # 2 above)

3. Private Parking Structures
Private parking structures or major retail parking lots will not be included for building square footage assessments unless they are open to the public in general and serve the parking needs of visitors other than direct customers.

Changes to Building and/or Parcel Size
Any changes in building or parcel size as a result of new construction, demolitions, land adjustments including but not limited to lot splits, consolidations, subdivisions, street dedications, right of way setbacks shall have their assessment adjusted upon final City approval of such building and/or parcel adjustments.

Other Future Development
Other than future maximum rates and the assessment methodology delineated in this Report , future assessments may increase for any given parcel if such an increase is attributable to events other than an increased rate or revised methodology, such as a change in the density, intensity, or nature of the use of land. Any change in assessment formula methodology or rates other than as stipulated in this Report would require a new Article XIII D ballot procedure in order to approve any such changes.

Step 2. Quantify Total Basic Benefit Units

Step 3. Calculate Benefit Units for Each Property.

The number of Benefit Units for each identified benefiting parcel within the proposed DECCBD was computed from data extracted from County Assessor records and maps. These data sources delineate current land uses, property areas and dimensions of record for each tax parcel. While it is understood that this data does not represent legal field survey measurements or detailed title search of recorded land subdivision maps or building records, it does provide an acceptable basis for the purpose of calculating property-based assessments. All respective property data being used for assessment computations will be provided to each property owner in the DECCBD for their review. If a property owner believes there is an error on a parcel’s assessed quantities, the DECCBD may confirm the data with the San Diego County Assessor’s office. If DECCBD data matches Assessor’s data, the property owner may opt to work with the Assessor’s office to correct the data so that the DECCBD assessment may be corrected.

Step 4. Determine Assessment Formula
24 DOWNTOWN EL CAJON CBD – ASSESSMENT ENGINEER’S REPORT In the opinion of this Assessment Engineer, the general assessment formula for the proposed DECCBD, as shown in the Year 1 Assessment Rate Table on page 25, is as follows, except as noted on page 22 for residential condominiums:

Assessment = Land Area (Unit A) Sq Ft x Unit A Rate, plus Street Frontage (Unit B) Lin Ft x Unit B Rate, plus
Building Area (Unit C) Sq Ft x Unit C Rate
Assessment Formula Unit Rates
Based on figures from the Assessable Benefit Units Table above, the assessment rates for each factor and zone are shown as calculated below:

ZONE 1
Building Area Rate (Unit A-1)
($793,225.28 x 15.0807%/ 1,196,243 assessable building area units = $0.10/sf building area Land Area Rate B (Unit B-1)
($793,225.28 x 24.3533%) / 2,759,670 assessable land area units = $0.07/sf land area Street Frontage Rate (Unit C-1)
($793,225.28 x 12.3375%) / 24,466 assessable frontage units = $4.00/lin ft frontage ZONE 2
Building Area Rate (Unit A-2)
($793,225.28 x 10.3217%) / 909,719 assessable building area units = $0.09/sf building area Land Area Rate B (Unit B-2)
($793,225.28 x 13.8509%) / 3,311,496 assessable land area units = $0.06/sf land area Street Frontage Rate (Unit C-2)
($793,225.28 x 6.0484%) / 25,204 assessable frontage units = $3.50/lin ft frontage It is noted that the assessment rate for residential condominiums in Zone 1 is set at the Year 1 -2027 building area rate of $0.10 per square foot of interior building pad area and $0.09 in Zone 2, each subject to a maximum 7% rate increase per year for the proposed 20-year DECCBD term. 25 DOWNTOWN EL CAJON CBD – ASSESSMENT ENGINEER’S REPORT YEAR 1 –2027 Assessment Rates

The complete Year 1 – 2027 assessment roll of all parcels to be assessed by the DECCBD is included in this Report as Appendix I.

Step 5. Estimate Total DECCBD Costs
The total projected DECCBD special benefit costs for the first 10 years (2027-2036) of the proposed 20- year term (2027 – 2046) are shown in the Table on page 16 of this Report assuming a maximum 7% increase per year.

Step 6. Separate General Benefits from Special Benefits and Related Costs (Article XIII D) Total Year 1 special and districtwide general benefit related costs are estimated at $809,413 Districtwide general benefits are factored at 2% of the total benefit value (see Finding 2 of this Report) with special benefits set at 98%. Article XIII D limits the levy of property assessments to costs attributed to special benefits only. The 2% general benefit value is computed to be $16,188 with a resultant 98% special benefit limit computed at $793,225. Based on current property data and land uses, this is the maximum amount of Year 1 - 2027 revenue that can be derived from property assessments from the subject District. All program costs associated with district-wide general benefits will be derived from sources other than DECCBD assessments.

Step 7. Calculate “Basic Unit Cost”
With a YR 1 - 2027 assessment revenue portion of the budget set at $793,225 (special benefit only), the Unit Costs (rates) are shown earlier in Step 4. The DECCBD is proposed for a 20-year term. An annual inflationary assessment rate increase of up to 7%, commensurate to special benefits received by each assessed parcel, may be imposed for future year assessments, on approval by the DECCBD Property Owner’s Association. The maximum assessment rates for years 1-20 (2027-2046) are shown in the Table below. The assessment rates listed constitute the maximum assessment rates that may be imposed for the 20-year DECCBD term.

Agenda Report
Agenda Item 13.

DATE: 06/09/2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Jose Dorado, Housing Manager
SUBJECT: Consideration of Resolution to Approve Award of Permanent Local Housing Allocation funding for Homeless Services
RECOMMENDATION:

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

Approve the funding recommendations from the Ad-Hoc Committee (see Attachment:

Memorandum) to award service contracts to two agencies using Permanent Local Housing Allocation ("PLHA") funding from the State of California Department of Housing and Community Development ("HCD");

3. Authorize the City Manager or designee to make any necessary updates and sign any necessary agreements or amendments needed to obligate and expend PLHA funding.

4. BACKGROUND:

On September 9, 2025, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 095-25, accepting, appropriating, and allocating a total of $710,261.84 in Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) funding received through two awards from the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD), including related program income. On February 10, 2026, City staff from the Development Services Department ("City-DSD") issued a Notice of Funding Availability to solicit eligible projects for funding through the PLHA program.

The Notice of Funding included two eligible categories of services for Subrecipients to apply:

Street Outreach Services and Operation of Emergency Shelter/Navigation Center. All Subrecipient providers are required to serve/benefit the homeless population within the City of El Cajon. The services would be provided over a two-year term covering fiscal years 2026-2027 and 2027-2028, with a contract start date of July 1, 2026.

Five proposals were received before 5:00 p.m. on March 9, 2026, and were independently reviewed by an Ad-Hoc Committee that included Deputy Mayor Metschel and Councilmember Ortiz. The committee based its assessment on the evaluation criteria specified in the NOFA:
1) Priority (award and program activity) and 2) General Evaluation Criteria (applicant experience, demonstrated capacity and project readiness, and program financials). After a thorough evaluation of the responses, the Ad-Hoc Committee determined that the proposals received from Family Health Centers of San Diego to provide homeless street outreach and from San Diego Rescue Mission to cover the operational costs of an Emergency Shelter/Navigation Center best met the City’s requirements. The Memorandum that is included as an attachment to this report details the evaluation process.

Family Health Centers of San Diego (FHCSD)
Homeless Street Outreach Services-FHCSD proposes to work with the City of El Cajon’s Homeless Outreach Team to coordinate street outreach and provide services to the unsheltered. The Ad-Hoc Committee recommends funding this activity for $500,000 over two years. This funding will ensure that the unsheltered are made aware of the available community resources.

San Diego Rescue Mission (SDRM)
Emergency Shelter/Navigation Center-SDRM proposes to serve homeless persons with emergency shelter at its South County Lighthouse. The Ad-Hoc Committee recommends funding this activity for $210,261.84 over two years. This funding will ensure that the unsheltered are connected to shelter options. If approved by the City Council, the City Manager would have the authority to execute the agreement and any required amendments.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT:

The proposed homeless services programs are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines 15060(c)(3) and 15378, because it is not defined as a project under CEQA and does not have a potential to cause a significant effect on the environment.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this item will authorize expenditures using existing PLHA (277280) appropriations in the amount of $710,261.84 for this service to cover the contract period of July 1, 2026, to June 30, 2028. There is no impact on the General Fund.
