TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Jose Dorado, Housing Manager
SUBJECT: El Cajon Housing Authority Annual Report (Fiscal Year 2025-2026) RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council, acting as the El Cajon Housing Authority:

1. Approves the attached 2025-2026 Annual Report; and
Authorizes the Executive Director or designee to transmit it, in a form substantially as presented, to the California Department of Housing and Community Development as required by State Law.

2. BACKGROUND:

The attached Annual Report provides a background of the Housing Authority's formation, assets, budget, and activities from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026. The report is formatted to the specifications of the California Department of Housing and Community Development ("HCD").

On March 9, 2011, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 32-11 establishing the El Cajon Housing Authority ("Housing Authority"). In accordance with California Health and Safety Code sections 34328 and 34328.1, the Housing Authority must prepare and submit a report of housing activities during the previous fiscal year by October 1 of each year. The annual report must be filed with the City Clerk and submitted to HCD.

Over the past year, the Housing Authority has continued to focus on supporting efforts to provide affordable housing for low-income households through the following activities:

Project-Based Rental Assistance to 40 extremely low-income households at Lexington Square Senior Apartments;
Financial support for the Salvation Army's "A Way Back Home Program"; and Working with developers to identify financial resources and possible sites for construction and/or rehabilitation of affordable housing.

The Annual Report demonstrates compliance with the requirements of Health and Safety Code section 34312.3, which includes:

Monitoring and providing the required number of affordable housing units for lower-income households in housing projects assisted by the Housing Authority; Establish base rents for units reserved for lower-income households, adjusted by household size;
•
•
•
•
•
Establish maximum rental payments to lower-income households pursuant to State and Federal requirements; and
Report on activities related to the development or transaction of land for the purpose of increasing the supply of affordable housing for lower-income households.

Annual Report Summary
Deed-restricted properties meet all requirements of California Community Redevelopment Law regarding affordable housing, including those properties that were assisted by Low-and Moderate-Income Housing Funds of the former redevelopment agency.

Table 3 of the Annual Report includes the unaudited budget for 2025-2026 and the proposed budget for 2026-2027 that was approved by the City Council acting as the Housing Authority in June 2026, reflecting the revenues and expenditures for various Housing Authority activities and projects.

The Administration line item reflects the anticipated costs for the overall administration of Housing Authority funds for activities unrelated to a specific project. This includes internal staff costs, records management, and external costs, such as legal and consultant services.

Materials, Services, and Supplies line item represents similar expenditures as those above, but in relation to a particular Housing Authority project (represented as an aggregate). The major costs in this category for FY 2025-2026 reflect the participation in the Lexington Square Apartment project subsidies and for homeless services.

The Capital Outlay line item includes costs for anticipated projects such as land acquisition, rehabilitation, and construction. A proposed future project to be identified represents the majority of the projected expenditures. Once one or more specific projects are identified, they will be brought before the City Council, acting as the El Cajon Housing Authority, for approval.

The attached Annual Report provides more in-depth information about the Housing Authority activities, including housing unit compliance with affordability requirements, activities concerning existing debt obligations, as well as land transactions and development.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT:

This action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA"). Pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines section 15378(b)(5), this report is an administrative action that does not result in any change in the environment and is therefore exempt.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact to the General Fund. In accordance with Health and Safety Code Section 34328.1(b), the Housing Authority may be required to reimburse HCD for the cost of processing the report. If required, the cost would be covered by the Low and Moderate Income Housing Asset Fund (290200).

2 INTRODUCTION
Pursuant to California Health & Safety Code (“HSC”) section 34328, all housing authorities must annually file a report by October 1st of their activities for the preceding year (“Annual Report”) with their respective City or County Clerk and with the California Department of Housing and Community Development (“HCD”). This Annual Report covers all activities of the El Cajon Housing Authority that occurred during the Fiscal Year (“FY”) 2025-26, including housing unit compliance with affordability requirements, activities concerning existing debt obligations, as well as land transactions and development.

LEGAL AUTHORITY
The State legislature allows housing authorities to function as local entities with the primary responsibility of providing housing for very low- and low-income households. Housing authorities are distinct, autonomous, legal entities that derive their power from State legislature. Under HSC section 34200, the law provides the functioning of a local housing authority through a resolution of the local governing body.

AUTHORITY BACKGROUND
In the case of the City of El Cajon (“City”), the City Council adopted Resolution No. 32-11 on March 9, 2011, to establish the El Cajon Housing Authority (“Housing Authority”) by confirming and finding: (1) that unsanitary or unsafe inhabited dwellings exist in the City; or (2) that there is a shortage of safe and sanitary dwellings accommodations in the City available to persons of low income at affordable rents.

On January 24, 2012, the El Cajon Redevelopment Agency (“Agency”) adopted Resolution No.

ECRA-427 to transfer title of the Agency’s housing real property assets and loans receivable before February 1, 2012, to the Housing Authority and transfer all remaining housing assets to same entity, including, but not limited to: recorded or unrecorded leases, Deeds of Trust, intangible assets, fixtures and equipment, agreements, contracts, promises to pay, receivables and any/all other unspecified assets. The Housing Authority then adopted Resolution No.

ECHA-1 to appoint the officers of the Housing Authority; to accept the Agency’s housing real property assets and loans receivable before February 1, 2012; to accept transfer of all remaining housing assets, including, but not limited to: recorded or unrecorded leases, Deeds of Trust, intangible assets, fixtures and equipment, agreements, contracts, promises to pay, receivables and any/all other unspecified assets; and to authorize the Executive Director to pay enforceable obligations, and conduct day to day operations of the Housing Authority. 3 OBJECTIVES OF THE HOUSING AUTHORITY
Historically, the primary role of housing authorities has been to interact with the Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) on behalf of their communities, and to function as the administrator of “Section 8” funds, as defined by Section 8 of the United States Housing Act of 1937. A housing authority’s function under Section 8 entails determining applicants’ eligibility to receive Section 8 assistance, maintaining a waiting list of eligible participants, contracting with property owners, and ensuring that contracted rent prices are reasonable. The County of San Diego conducts this function on the behalf of the Housing Authority.

However, a housing authority also serves to meet the affordable housing needs of a wider range of residents than Section 8 alone. Unlike the former Agency, the Housing Authority can own and operate housing developments, subject to Article XXXIV of the California Constitution (“Article 34”) limitations, which alleviates the need to find prospective owners or operators for the units created. If political support permits, the Housing Authority can utilize eminent domain as a tool by which to assemble land for housing developments without the need to document blighting conditions.

The Housing Authority’s future goals and objectives are to:
• Increase, improve or preserve housing stock available to low and very low-income residents;
• Rehabilitate multi-family properties that exhibit unsafe or unhealthy characteristics; • Increase the affordability of housing for low and very low-income residents; • Reduce overcrowding conditions in multi-family units; • Fulfill obligations to produce and maintain affordable housing units pursuant to HSC section 33000 et. seq., with housing assets transferred from the Agency; and • Generate ongoing revenues to achieve Housing Authority self-sustainability.

CONTENTS OF THE HOUSING AUTHORITY’S ANNUAL REPORT
This Annual Report has been developed to address the following requirements:
• Provide a complete report of activities during FY 2025-26, including any bond issuances, and loans or finance agreements that the Authority has entered into; • Compliance with the requirements of HSC section 34312.3 such as providing the minimum amount of housing units affordable to lower income households in projects assisted by the Authority with bonds and documenting established base rents and/or maximum rental payments for lower income households; and • Information on any tenancy or Housing Choice Voucher terminations of domestic violence victims required by HSC section 34328.1.
4 HOUSING AUTHORITY DEBT OBLIGATIONS
Pursuant to HSC section 34312.3, the Housing Authority must provide a complete report of its activities taken during the prior fiscal year, which includes bonds, loans, and financing agreements for multifamily rental projects.

The Housing Authority was activated on March 9, 2011, and has not issued any bonds. Any future financing for the acquisition, construction, rehabilitation, or development of multifamily housing through the issuance of bonds, construction loans, mortgage loans, and/or financing agreements will be documented and provided in subsequent Annual Reports.

LAND TRANSACTIONS AND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES
HSC section 34312.3 requires that all prior year’s activities be reported. Which include not only debt obligations, but activities related to the development, rehabilitation, or finance of housing projects. Additionally, including purchase, sale, lease, ownership, operation, or management of housing projects assisted by the Housing Authority; conveyance of surplus lands to a developer for permitted purposes; and establishment of a special trust fund or account funded with bond-loan issuance proceeds or developer fees. Table 1-A describes the Housing Authority’s land transactions or development status.

HOUSING UNIT COMPLIANCE
As set forth by HSC sections 34328 and 34328.1, housing authorities are required to:
• Prove compliance with the requirements of HSC section 34312.3 such as the minimum number of housing units affordable to lower income households in projects assisted by the Housing Authority and establish base rents and/or maximum rental payments for lower income households;
• Lower-income households are defined as a household with income not greater than 80% of AMI established by HUD and
• To document any domestic violence tenancy terminations or Section 8 voucher terminations as required by HSC section 34328.1.

The following subsections provide a summary of the Housing Authority’s progress toward the requirements listed above.
6 HOUSING UNIT AFFORDABILITY REQUIREMENT
Pursuant to HSC section 34312.3, not less than 20 percent of the units assisted by the Housing Authority, or 15 percent in targeted areas1, as defined by section 103(b) (12) (A) of Title 26 of the United States Code, must be affordable to persons of low income. Of that percentage, not less than one-half must be available to persons of very-low income, if the housing development is financed by bonds2. Nevertheless, the power to finance, own, build, and/or operate a housing development allows the Housing Authority to take on a more active role in the creation and maintenance of housing for low-income families.

Table 1-D provides a summary of the multi-family real estate assets owned or managed by the Housing Authority, and the breakdown of the current income levels that the units fall within, where known. Table 1-D shows how the current affordability mix of the Housing Authority’s projects meet established requirements within HSC section 34312.3, or the requirements of the funding sources at the time the assistance was provided.

BASE & MAXIMUM RENTS
HSC section 34312.3 establishes a set of guidelines to determine the base and maximum rents that a housing authority can charge for units reserved for lower income households.

According to HSC section 34312.3, “rental payments shall not exceed the amount derived by multiplying 30 percent times 50 percent of the median adjusted gross income for the area, adjusted for family size, as determined pursuant to Section 8 of the United States Housing Act of 1937 (42 U. S. C. Sec. 1437f).” The Housing Authority does not have an adopted schedule of base rental payments; however, the following table provides a calculation of the maximum rental payments that the Housing Authority can charge for affordable rental housing units.

The Housing Authority monitors to ensure compliance of rental payments charged for its housing units and based on the last monitoring period all units across all three properties were 1 CA Health & Safety Code Section 34312.3 (c)(1)(A)
2 CA Health & Safety Code Section 34312.3 (2)(A)
7 found to be in compliance with their respective affordable housing agreement and the rents listed in Table 2.

As part of the monitoring process for the deed restricted properties, the Housing Authority compiles reports on each property’s unit compliance in accordance with each property’s affordable housing agreement, loan agreement, funding source, and/or covenant. The properties received funding that requires compliance with either HCD, HOME, or MTSP rent limits, or some combination thereof.

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
State law requires that a housing authority annually report data related to domestic violence incidents in units owned or operated by the housing authority. Specifically, the report must include data on the following:
• Data on termination of tenancy and/or Section 8 vouchers of victims of domestic violence in Housing Authority units.
• Summary of steps taken by the Housing Authority to address any termination of tenancies and/or Section 8 vouchers of victims of domestic violence.

The Housing Authority does not own or operate any multifamily projects. Hence, there is no reportable activity between July 1, 2025, and the end of the reporting year on June 30, 2026. The County of San Diego administers the Housing Choice Voucher Program (Section 8) rental assistance in the City of El Cajon, as the local Public Housing Agency. The County of San Diego reported no terminations of Section 8 vouchers of victims of domestic violence during this 8 reporting period. Any information on any terminations of this kind are always limited to a summary of the number(s) and may include non-specific information to protect the privacy of the parties involved.

9 FUTURE HOUSING AUTHORITY ACTIVITIES
Future Housing Authority activities to meet goals and objectives will be directed to undertaking activities that meet HSC and supplementary/leveraged funding regulatory requirements, maximize existing and new financial resources for the continued production of affordable housing for low-income households, generate ongoing revenues through affordable housing production to ensure Housing Authority self-sustainability, improve the quality of affordable housing stock in El Cajon, and eliminate conditions that lead to blight in affordable housing developments in El Cajon.

Specific activities that are anticipated or may be contemplated during 2026-2027 include:
• On-going Compliance: Continue to monitor existing affordable housing project as show in Table 1-D and collect residual receipts and monitoring fees, if applicable. • Production of Affordable Housing: Continue to seek opportunities that increase the production of affordable units that is consistent with the requirements of HSC section 34176 and 34176.1.

Specific Obligations for 2026-2027 includes:
• 250 E. Lexington Avenue (Lexington Avenue Senior Apartments): On March 5, 2020, as amended on December 14, 2022, the El Cajon Housing Authority committed $3.95 million in rental assistance to the Lexington Avenue Senior Apartments for a term of no less than 15 years through a project-based housing assistance (PBA) Agreement between ECHA and Lexington ECJ Housing, LP. In the amount not to exceed $3.95M. The Agreement provides PBA for up to 40 households at or below extremely low-income levels for a 15-year period. The annual contribution for 2026-27 is budgeted at $244,000 using LMIHAF.

Specific activities related to Homeless Prevention and Rapid Re-housing programs are:
• A Way Back Home: In October 2017, the City partnered with The Salvation Army to fund the “A Way Back Home” program, reunites homeless individuals in the City with their families by providing assistance with transportation, food and if needed an overnight stay while en route. During Fiscal Year 2025-2026, 1 individual and 1 household was placed into permanent housing through this program. A total of $661 was expended using LMIHAF for this program. This program will continue in 2026- 2027 and the annual contribution is estimated at $10,000 using LMIHAF. The Salvation Army will increase its marketing efforts in order to increase program participation.

Conclusion:

Current revenue and asset limitations will be the greatest challenge for the Housing Authority’s goal of increasing the production of affordable housing units and achieving selfsustainability. As federal, state, and local programs are being eliminated or reduced, there are fewer subsidies and financial resources available to make affordable projects economically feasible. This trend requires the Housing Authority to be strategic and deliberate in the types of projects for which it chooses to participate, or it must seek other viable alternatives to preserve or build housing that is affordable.

Agenda Item 9.

DATE: 09/22/2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Jose Dorado, Housing Manager
SUBJECT: Public Hearing to Consider Issuance of Tax-Exempt Bonds for the Bella Vista Apartments by the California Municipal Finance Authority RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council:

Conducts a Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act ("TEFRA") public hearing in consideration of the issuance of tax-exempt bond financing by the California Municipal Finance Authority for the benefit of Bella Sands, LP, to provide financing for the acquisition, rehabilitation, and improvement of a 150-unit apartment development generally known as Bella Vista Apartments; and

1. Adopts the attached Resolution approving the issuance of Bonds by the California Municipal Finance Authority not to exceed $50,000,000 for the benefit of Bella Sands, LP, to provide for the acquisition, rehabilitation, and improvement of a 150-unit apartment development generally known as Bella Vista Apartments.

2. BACKGROUND:

A Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act ("TEFRA") public hearing is a requirement of the Internal Revenue Service when private organizations borrow money through tax-exempt bonds issued by a conduit entity like the California Municipal Finance Authority ("CMFA"). The purpose of this hearing is to give the public a chance to share their thoughts on the use of tax-exempt bonds for project financing.

The CMFA was created on January 1, 2004, pursuant to a joint exercise of powers agreement to promote economic, cultural, and community development through the financing of economic development and charitable activities throughout California. To date, over 350 municipalities, including the City of El Cajon, have become members of the CMFA.

The CMFA was formed to assist local governments, non-profit organizations, and businesses with the issuance of taxable and tax-exempt bonds aimed at improving the standard of living in California. The CMFA’s representatives and its Board of Directors have considerable experience in bond financing.

Prior to this TEFRA Hearing, public hearing notices were published in the Daily Transcript on September 4, 2026 and September 11, 2026 (Attachment 1: Public Hearing Notices). A notice was also posted in the kiosk at City Hall and on the City's website under "Public Hearings/Public Notices." The notice was also provided to the two public libraries in the City of El Cajon, located at 201 East Douglas Avenue and 576 Garfield Avenue.

Proposed Project
Bella Sands, LP (the "Borrower") has requested that CMFA serve as the municipal issuer of tax-exempt multifamily housing revenue bonds for an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $50,000,000. The proceeds of the bonds will be used for the purpose of making a loan to the Borrower, to enable the Borrower to finance the acquisition, rehabilitation, and improvement of an existing affordable multifamily housing rental project located at 545 North Mollison Avenue and 950 East Madison Avenue (the "Project"), which will be owned by the Borrower (Attachment 2: Location Map). Bella Vista Apartments were constructed in 1963 and 1964, and for the last 28 years, they have provided affordable housing for the community.

Please note that the City Council's adoption of the proposed resolution is solely for the purposes of satisfying the requirements of TEFRA. No other participation of the City in the bond financing will be required. The debt issued that is financed by the bonds is not debt of the City, and all repayment of the debt is the strict obligation of the borrower. Furthermore, all monitoring and administrative actions related to this issuance are the responsibility of CMFA.

The City's participation will not impact the City's appropriation limits and will not constitute any type of indebtedness by the City.

Proposed Improvements
The rehabilitation scope of work proposed will address immediate physical needs and will extend the useful life of the building systems, reduce operating costs, and improve energy efficiency. Priority items to be addressed include sealing and re-striping of parking areas, landscaping and irrigation improvements, replacing all appliances with Energy Star-rated appliances, replacing all toilets and shower heads, replacing all windows with new vinyl windows, replacing all incandescent or fluorescent lighting with LED bulbs, repairing dry rot and termite-infested wood, replacing kitchen/bathroom cabinetry and fixtures, replacing domestic water heaters, and installing hardwired and interconnected smoke/carbon monoxide detectors. Ten percent of the units required will be fully accessible, and five percent will be for the visually and hearing impaired. As rehabilitation is performed on each unit, households may require temporary relocation off-site. Such relocation expenses are included in the rehabilitation costs. All work will require appropriate permits through the City of El Cajon.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT:

The approval of bond issuance is not an action subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it is not a “project” under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15378. The action is an administrative action and does not cause either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.

Further, anticipated renovations will be evaluated appropriately pursuant to CEQA with any necessary permit applications.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact on the City. The bonds will be issued as limited obligations of CMFA, payable solely from revenues and receipts derived from loan repayments to be made to CMFA by Borrower. The City bears no liability with respect to the issuance of the bonds. Further, the City is not a party to any of the financing documents related to the bond issuance and is not named in any of the disclosure documents describing the bonds or the proposed financing.

A portion of the CMFA’s issuance fee will be granted to the City, and may be used for any lawful purpose of the City. Such grants are typically deposited into accounts that advance the work of the City’s Development Services—Housing Division. The Borrower is responsible for payment to the City a $744 fee for the costs of the TEFRA hearing and related actions.

Agenda Report
Agenda Item 10.

DATE: 09/22/2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Ryan Villegas, Senior Management Analyst
SUBJECT: FY26 Financial Performance at The Magnolia
RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council receives the Fiscal Year 2026 Financial Performance review for The Magnolia.

BACKGROUND:

The City-owned entertainment venue, The Magnolia, opened in 2019 with Live Nation serving as the venue operator. Operations were subsequently disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, with the venue beginning its post-pandemic recovery in 2022. With five full fiscal years of post-pandemic operations now complete, this report provides an overview of the venue's performance from FY22 through FY26.

Separately, earlier this year, Live Nation exercised its option to renew the operating agreement, extending the term through August 2031.

DISCUSSION
The operating agreement with Live Nation includes annual performance measures for the venue, including the number of shows and events, attendance, and financial information.

The Magnolia hosted 89 shows and events in FY26, meeting the target of 89. This represents an increase from 86 shows and events in FY25 and follows several years of significant growth during the venue's post-pandemic recovery.

The decline in shows and events experienced in FY25 occurred during a broader slowdown that Live Nation was experiencing across the industry. Coming out of the COVID-19 pandemic, the industry saw a surge in bands who were eager to get out and tour, and fans who were also eager to see live entertainment. FY26 results reflect a stabilization and return to the annual target for shows and events.

Attendance followed a similar trend. Following steady growth from FY22 through FY24, attendance declined in FY25 before rebounding in FY26. Total FY26 attendance was 49,381, slightly exceeding the target for the year.

Financial performance also improved in FY26. Adjusted Operating Income (AOI), which represents the venue's revenues less its operating expenses, was relatively consistent and positive from FY22 through FY24 before declining to -$203,567 in FY25. In FY26, actual AOI improved to $44,438, compared with the forecast of $34,409.

An important change to the operating agreement provides additional context when comparing financial performance before and after FY25.

In FY25, the City and Live Nation amended the Operating Agreement to restructure financial terms of the partnership. The amendment revised the profit-sharing structure and breakeven threshold, increased the annual management fee to $400,000 with a 3% escalation, and transferred responsibility for utilities, repairs, and maintenance from the City to Live Nation.

These costs were formerly paid separately by the City, and are now incorporated into the venue's AOI. In FY25, these expenses totaled approximately $347,000, contributing to the decrease in reported AOI compared with prior years.

In FY26, utilities, repairs, and maintenance totaled approximately $311,885, with utilities accounting for approximately 86 percent of the total. The remaining expenses consisted of various repairs, replacements, and maintenance costs for the venue.

As a result of the amended operating agreement, the Management Fee in FY26 was $412,000 and represents the breakeven threshold for purposes of evaluating the venue's financial performance.

For FY26, The Magnolia reported actual AOI of $44,438, compared with the $412,000 breakeven threshold, resulting in a gap to break even of $367,562.

CONCLUSION
While FY26 represents an improvement from the negative AOI reported in FY25, the venue's operating performance remains below the breakeven threshold established under the operating agreement and thus, profit sharing did not occur in FY26.

Staff will provide additional context regarding the venue's financial performance and its relationship to the breakeven threshold as part of the presentation to the City Council.

Additionally, a representative from The Magnolia will be present to provide an overview of the past year, upcoming programming, and information regarding the venue's customer base.

Agenda Report
Agenda Item 11.

DATE: 09/22/2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Graham Mitchell, City Manager
SUBJECT: Parkway Plaza Acquisition/Control Options
RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council receives the report.

BACKGROUND:

Parkway Plaza serves as a regional shopping destination and an important economic hub for the City.

Approximately 5 percent of the City’s annual sales tax revenue was generated by the businesses at Parkway Plaza last fiscal year. Given its economic and cultural significance to the City, Parkway Plaza has remained a significant City Council priority, especially since Starwood Capital Group lost ownership of the property in 2020.

On July 28, 2026, the City Council directed staff to present an analysis of the various options available to a city to acquire, control, or otherwise influence the ownership and operation of a property such as Parkway Plaza. This staff report outlines those options, followed by analysis of various funding mechanisms. Before discussing the available options, the report provides an overview of the reasons a city may seek to control commercial property, the challenges associated with Parkway Plaza’s current ownership structure, and the opportunities the City has explored and continues to pursue.

Should Cities Purchase Commercial Land
There are reasons why municipal governments are not the best suited to own and manage real estate.

Typically, the private sector is more effective, efficient, and unhampered by governmental regulations.

Ownership in real estate also puts a municipality in financial risk if a development project fails.

However, as pointed out in a 2024 article by the Brookings Institution, authors McAdams and Loh state “. . . more localities are realizing they can leverage underperforming public assets to generate value for their communities.” Below are five reasons a municipality may wish to own or control a large commercial property:

1. Economic/fiscal objectives – protecting or increasing sales-tax, property-tax, or other revenues; Control over land use and redevelopment – ensuring a strategically important property develops in a manner consistent with community objectives;

2. Preservation of an important economic asset – preventing deterioration, prolonged vacancy, or an ownership structure that limits redevelopment;

3. Public benefits that may not be fully captured by private ownership – jobs, services, housing, public spaces, economic activity, etc.; and

4. 5. Financial investment – generating long-term revenue.

These benefits have to be balanced against the downsides of owning or controlling commercial property.

Parkway Plaza Challenges
From an ownership perspective, a common misperception is that Parkway Plaza is a single entity and that negotiations to purchase the mall would involve only one party. This is incorrect. In fact, for decades, at least three separate business entities have owned different legal parcels. Sears and Macy’s each owned parcels at opposite ends of the site, while, for many years, Westfield Group owned the central portion of the mall and the commercial strip center along the eastern boundary.

When Sears entered bankruptcy and ceased operations nationwide, its Parkway Plaza property went through a series of ownership changes before ultimately being acquired by its current owner, Citivest.

Macy’s subsequently restructured its business and closed numerous retail locations nationwide. It sold the Parkway Plaza property, which was acquired by Fletcher Parkway Group LLC, a San Diego-based real estate investment firm.

Westfield owned the central mall and commercial strip center, known as the “power center,” until selling the properties to Starwood Capital Group in 2013. Through a series of financial transactions, Starwood incurred significant secured and unsecured debt on the property from foreign investors. In September 2020, Starwood lost control and ownership of the property as part of a seven-mall portfolio restructuring.

Golden East Investors and Pacific Retail Capital Partners were subsequently selected by court-appointed trustees to manage and restructure the properties. A complex debt financing arrangement remains in place, with repayment requirements continuing to challenge the property.

When Walmart, a Parkway Plaza anchor tenant, announced in 2024 that it would not renew its lease, the challenges associated with servicing the outstanding debt were further amplified.

Staff believes the mall trustee is focused less on long-term investment in the site and more on generating sufficient income to meet the debt holder’s repayment requirements.

The following shows the current four owners of the Parkway Plaza area, including the recent new owner of the power center portion recently sold to the Tabani Group (a Texas-based real estate group):

The City has long believed that there is incredible economic potential for Parkway Plaza. Because El Cajon is well positioned at the core of East County, Parkway Plaza’s location allows it to draw from the entire region.

Recognizing that the City has no ownership stake in Parkway Plaza, the City Council has exerted its influence over the mall through a series of studies to help create interest from the development community and a vision of a redeveloped mall property.

In 2024, the City Council received a report from Hunden Partners who was tasked to consider various redevelopment options and then perform a pro forma analysis to determine the economic feasibility of the options. A significant finding from the Hunden study was that the vision explored resulted in a cost that outweighed potential revenue.

In 2025, City Staff also engaged an SDSU Planning Department capstone class to study Parkway Plaza from a different angle. The capstone class analyzed what components would be needed in the revitalization of Parkway Plaza to make it, and the surrounding area, into a Blue Zone. Blue Zones are areas in the world where people live unusually long, healthy and happy lives. The students’ contributions were valuable, and some of their ideas complimented current planning efforts for the mall.

Ultimately, the City determined that the best way to aid Parkway Plaza’s owners and ensure a successful commercial hub into the future would be to create a comprehensive Land-Use Plan that would serve as a guide and a blueprint of successful development phases for the mall. The Land-Use Plan is a roadmap for the mall's future, which will outline new land uses and new investment/ development opportunities—all vetted by teams of experts with experience in shopping mall revitalization. Relying on a SANDAG planning grant, the City Council selected Kimley-Horn to conduct the work of creating the Land-Use Plan.

The work on the Land-Use Plan has been underway for several months. Various community stakeholder and community workshops have already taken place. With input gathered from the public and relying on past studies, the consultant team has created land-use alternatives and preliminary models. These models will be showcased at a community meeting on October 1st at 6:00 pm at the Ronald Reagan Community Center.

After community input is gathered, the consultant team will begin finalizing recommendations and then circulate a draft specific plan and economic feasibility analysis for public review. The consultant team will also simultaneously prepare and circulate a draft Program Environmental Impact Report (PEIR) pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act. Final versions will be presented to City Council for consideration and are anticipated to streamline future redevelopment efforts.

Acquisition/Control Options
All cities have regulatory authority over property with zoning regulations and specific or master plans.

However, assuming a city needs more control, and it is in the best interest of a municipality to acquire or control a large commercial real estate asset, there are several ways in which this can be accomplished. This section of the report identifies five options a municipality may consider.

In summary, options include:

1. Regulatory or Contractual Control (development agreement or zoning/land-use authority),

2. Contractual Interest without Ownership (long-term lease or ground lease),

3. Partial Ownership (equity investment, minority/majority ownership, public-private partnership),

4. Voluntary Acquisition

5. Involuntary Acquisition
1) Regulatory or Contractual Control – a common strategy that cities use to exert influence over a property without significant risk is entering into a development agreement with interested property owners. Typically, these agreements identify a scope of development in exchange for regulatory certainty and benefits back to the owner or developer (e.g. reduction in permit fees, tax sharing arrangement, ability to build denser than zoning allows, etc.).

Advantages to this approach are that there is no acquisition cost, there is a clear development expectation, and there is a lower risk for the municipality.

Disadvantages include that there must be an interested owner that is willing to invest in the long-term development of the property and, in exchange for less risk, a municipality may have to share long-term revenue.
2) Contractual Interest with Ownership – under this option, a municipality would own a property and would enter into a long-term lease to a private entity to develop and/or operate the property. With a long-term lease guarantee, private developers would be willing to invest in development, knowing they will recover their costs over the period of the lease. An example of this arrangement is the mall located in Escondido, California. The City controls the majority of property with a ground lease, while a private entity has the leasehold interest and operates the mall.

Advantages include that the city retains underlying real estate control, long-term contractual relationship, ongoing lease revenue, private party generates capital for development costs, and the city can specify development expectations as part of the lease arrangement.

Disadvantages include there must be an interested party willing to sell their interest in the real estate, less flexibility during the lease term, exposure when the leasing entity abandons the lease, and ultimately a city does not have complete control.
3) Partial Ownership – partial ownership can be structured in several ways, depending on the desired level of control, investment, and risk. Municipalities can consider ranges of partial ownership from being an equity investor, having a minority ownership share, having a majority ownership share, or entering into a public-private partnership. A cooperative purchase or joint venture reduces a city’s risk, but also requires a sophisticated real estate expertise.

There are specific advantages and disadvantages to each of these different partial ownership options.

However, generally, the advantages include that partial ownership or contribution of funds give a city more control over the development vision, requires less capital than full acquisition, that private partners can contribute both capital and expertise, and municipalities can exercise their right to waive some development requirements for the public good.

Disadvantages include that there must be an interested party willing to sell, equity or minor ownership may provide less control than anticipated, ownership agreements are complicated, potential conflicts between public objectives and financial objectives, and a city may have difficulty exiting from its ownership or investment.
4) Voluntary Acquisition – whether a city is the sole owner of a commercial property or a partial owner, there is a need to acquire it. For the public, the best-case scenario is a voluntary acquisition, meaning there is an interested seller. Under this scenario, a city could provide a Letter of Interest (LOI). During the LOI period, a city could secure an appraisal and perform its due diligence, such as obtain structural reports, analyze lease agreements, analyze Reciprocal Easement Agreements (REAs) and their impacts on redevelopment opportunities, and secure financing. Assuming the appraised value was acceptable to both parties, a purchase agreement would be drafted and considered by a city’s governing body.

Assuming a city took the lead in an acquisition, the advantages would be that it would secure maximum control of the site and control over redevelopment vision, ability to issue requests for proposals and/or negotiate directly with developers, and capture all revenue from the property.

Disadvantages include not having a willing seller, being able to finance the property, assuming all liability to operate the property, and sunken costs may not be recovered for years. This option puts significant risk on a city, in exchange for total control and maximum return on its investment. 5) Involuntary Acquisition – all of the options addressed thus far assumed that a current property owner was willing to sell their property or interested in entering into a development agreement or partial ownership agreement. However, there are times in which a municipality feels that it is in the public interest to own a property, but the owner is not willing to sell. Under this scenario, a city may consider eminent domain.

Prior to the dissolution of redevelopment agencies through Assembly Bill x1 26 (ABx1 26), enacted in June 2011 and upheld by the California Supreme Court on December 29, 2011, agencies could use eminent domain to acquire properties for economic development purposes or to develop affordable housing. Since 2011, a city’s ability to use eminent domain has been impacted.

In California, after attempting to purchase a property through negotiations, the process to utilize eminent domain generally involves 1) establishing the public purpose and necessity for the acquisition, 2) identifying the property interests to be acquired and conducting due diligence, 3) obtaining an appraisal, 4) making a statutory offer to the property owner, 5) providing the owner notice and an opportunity to be heard, 6) adopting a Resolution of Necessity, 7) filing a condemnation action in Superior Court, and 8) depositing the probable amount of compensation with the court. The final purchase amount is typically resolved through negotiation or judicial proceedings.

Advantages of using eminent domain are that it overcomes an owner’s refusal to sell, provides maximum control of the site and control over redevelopment vision, ability to issue requests for proposals and/or negotiate directly with developers, and allows the city to capture all revenue from the property.

Disadvantages include additional costs associated with the procedural requirements of eminent domain, a city must deposit the probable amount of compensation with the court, can be politically controversial, litigation typically results in long delays and uncertainty for existing property tenants, a city assumes all liability to operate the property, and sunken costs may not be recovered for years.

Possible Financing Tools
There are various financing instruments that a city can use to purchase property depending on many factors. A few considerations include:
property cost,
purpose of the property,
potential revenue generation from the property,
length of time anticipated to hold the property,
triggering of California Surplus Land Act,
ownership arrangements, and
if eminent domain is used.

Most municipalities do not have sufficient funds to outright purchase large properties, such as a mall.

As such, a combination of revenue sources is used in most cases. As part of the City’s analysis of purchasing Parkway Plaza, it engaged the services of a financial advisor to explore financing options. •
•
•
•
•
•
•
The analysis showed that options include:

Lease-Revenue Bonds – an initial loan to purchase the property, using lease and operating revenue to make debt service payments. With current interest rates, roughly for every $20 million in financing, about $2 million in revenue would need to be generated to cover debt service.

General Obligation Bonds – an initial loan to purchase the property, using General Fund monies (including new mall revenue) to make debt service payments.

Assessment District or Community Facilities District (CFD) – creating an assessment district or a CFD to collect annual assessments. The assessments can be used for financing a loan or for ongoing operating costs.

Ground Lease – if the City were to acquire the property and lease the mall property, it could use revenue from the lease to pay for debt service of the acquisition.

Selling Housing Density – some cities are exploring the idea of selling housing density to fund large redevelopment projects.

Enhanced Infrastructure Financing District (EIFD) – this tool uses incremental property tax growth from a specific area to pay for public infrastructure and community projects. Because the City receives such a small percentage of property tax, other taxing entities such as the County would need to participate.

City-Wide Tax – some cities implement an additional property tax or sales tax to pay for the debt service of a large purchase. For example, the voters in 2004 approved Measure O, a ¼ cent sales tax to finance the City’s public safety building, the animal shelter, and other capital repairs to public safety buildings.

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Yazmin Arellano, Director of Development Services SUBJECT: Approval of Resolution Authorizing Funding to Establish the Washington Avenue Safety Improvements - Phase 2 Project (273975ESCP) RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council adopts the attached Resolution authorizing the:

Appropriation and expenditure of the Highway Safety Improvement Program grant (HSIP046) totaling $2,820,150;

1. Appropriation of $450,000 of TransNet revenue for the purposes of funding the project; and

2. Establishment of the Washington Avenue Safety Improvements - Phase 2 (273975ESCP) project with a total project budget of $3,270,150.

3. BACKGROUND:

On January 13, 2026, the City Council accepted a $2,820,150 Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) grant from Caltrans for safety improvements along E Washington Avenue from S First Street to Jamacha Road. The project will install raised concrete medians on Washington Avenue, a high-visibility crosswalk at the intersection of Washington Avenue and Dorothy Street, and other traffic calming measures. This project is a continuation of Washington Avenue Safety Improvements (Phase 1), which is currently under construction.

The first phase is constructing a raised concrete median on Washington Avenue from Avocado Avenue to Mollison Avenue with a high-visibility crosswalk at the intersection of Washington Avenue and S Lincoln Avenue.

Upon City Council approval, the project will enter the design phase, which will continue through the end of 2027. Competitive bids will be solicited in early 2028 with construction anticipated to begin by the Summer of 2028.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT:

The addition of raised medians and pedestrian crossings to existing streets is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to the Class 1 Existing Facilities exemption in State CEQA Guidelines section 15301(c). The Class 1 exemption applies to the minor alteration of existing public or private facilities including, specifically, the addition of bicycle facilities, pedestrian crossings, street trees, and other similar alterations to existing streets.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this action will increase TransNet appropriations by $450,000. This funding, along with the grant funding (HSIP046) of $2,820,150, will be used to establish the $3,270,150 Washington Avenue Safety Improvements - Phase 2 (273975ESCP) project.

Agenda Report
Agenda Item 13.

DATE: 09/22/2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Clay Schoen, Director of Finance
SUBJECT: 2026 Annual Pension Status Report
RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council receives the Annual Pension Status report.

BACKGROUND:

In October 2020, the City Council adopted the City of El Cajon Pension Funding Policy. One of the requirements of this policy is a review of the status of the City’s retirement benefit plans.

Specifically, the policy states:

Addressing retirement costs is a dynamic process. CalPERS makes adjustments annually to a City’s Normal Cost and Unfunded Accrued Liability (UAL). These changes require multi-year financial planning and for the City to make corresponding budgetary adjustments. The City shall therefore evaluate its pension liabilities each year.

After the release of the most current CalPERS actuarial report, staff shall present a summary of each plan’s funding status. New amortization levels shall be specifically addressed. This information shall be presented during a public City Council meeting, which shall include a summary of funding status, funding progress compared to prior years, as well as any recommended actions and/or budget adjustments to address areas of concern.

The City recently received updated actuarial valuations for each of its benefit plans (Safety and Miscellaneous) administered by CalPERS. As a result, an Annual Pension Status Report was prepared using this updated information, and is attached to this report. These actuarial valuations were completed as of June 30, 2025, and reported a total unfunded liability of $80.8 million.

The City issued $147.2 million of pension obligation bonds in the spring of 2021. This had a massive impact on funding status by significantly increasing plan assets. It is imperative that the outstanding bond obligations be taken into consideration when evaluating the funding status of the City’s retirement benefit plans. As of June 30, 2025, the outstanding bond principal totaled $125.6 million. When the outstanding pension obligation bond principal is considered in combination with the CalPERS unfunded liability, the City’s total pension related liability is approximately $206.4 million.

As part of this discussion, the Pension Funding Policy contemplated that action may be required to address any issues raised. Specifically, the Policy states:

The City seeks to maintain adequate levels of reserves in accordance with its stated reserve goals and adopted reserve policies. To the extent that the City has excess reserves, generates an operating surplus, generates savings from other pension related strategies, or receives significant one-time revenues, the City shall endeavor to apply a portion of such monies toward its unfunded retirement costs in the form of either Additional Discretionary Payments to CalPERS directly, or deposit funds in either a designated reserve or in its PARS Sec 115 Trust.

Given higher than expected investment returns in 2025, and similar preliminary results for 2026, no additional action is recommended at this time. As work progresses on the City’s Five-Year Business Plan and development of the Fiscal Year 2027-28 Annual Budget begins, additional funding opportunities will be evaluated.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT:

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

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no direct fiscal impact as a result of the recommended action. The status of the City’s pension plans has been a significant influence on City finances for many years, and maintaining focus on this issue remains critical to the City’s continued financial health.

Agenda Item 14.

DATE: 09/22/2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Graham Mitchell, City Manager
SUBJECT: City Council Policies A-2 "City Council Meetings & Agenda" and A-3 "Citizen Requests & Complaints"
RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council considers adopting revised City Council Policies A-2 "City Council Meetings & Agenda" and A-3 "Citizen Requests & Complaints." BACKGROUND:

At its September 8, 2026 meeting, the City Council considered ten City Council policies as part of a systematic approach to updating its policies. Two of the policies required additional changes based on City Council feedback: City Council Policies A-2 "City Council Meetings & Agenda" and A-3 "Citizen Requests & Complaints."
A revised Policy A-2 is presented for City Council consideration. It includes renaming "Public Comment" to "Non-Agenda Public Comments" under the section that defines the items on a regular City Council meeting agenda. The revised policy also includes the following language under Section 3, "Councilmember Requests for Agenda Items":

During the “Future Agenda Items” portion of a City Council meeting, any Councilmember may request that an item be placed on a future City Council agenda. If at least one other Councilmember concurs with the request, the City Manager shall place the item on a future agenda. With direction from the City Council, the City Manager shall determine the timing of the item based on the time necessary to conduct any required research, prepare a report, and existing staff workload.

A finalized version of the policy is attached.

Staff also presents City Council Policy A-3, "Formal Citizen Complaints and/or Requests for Service." At the September 8th meeting, staff recommended deleting the policy. However, the City Council directed staff to revise the policy to ensure it was modernized and reflects today's environment. Staff has redrafted the policy to reference means by which requests/complaints can be made by citizens, the expectation for staff in managing requests/complaints, and the manner in which Councilmembers pass along requests/complaints to staff.

Staff has included a red-lined version of the policy for City Council consideration.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT:

The proposed City Council policy changes are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") in accordance with section 15378(b)(2) of the State CEQA Guidelines because they are administrative activities related to general policy and procedure and are therefore not a "project".

FISCAL IMPACT:

None.

To establish a clear, consistent, and transparent process for the preparation, distribution, and management of City Council meeting agendas and to provide guidelines for the orderly conduct of City Council meetings.

POLICY

1. City Council Agenda
The City Council agenda shall be prepared by the City Clerk in coordination with the City Manager and City Attorney, consistent with applicable law and direction provided by the City Council.

The City Manager may resolve or respond administratively to matters that do not require City Council action, consistent with the City Manager's authority and existing City Council policies.

The City Clerk shall maintain appropriate records of communications and matters referred for staff review.

5. Agenda Changes and Late-Submitted Items
Once an agenda has been posted, additions, deletions, continuances, or other changes shall be made only as permitted by applicable law.

When a matter is submitted after the regular agenda deadline, the City Clerk and City Manager shall determine whether the matter may legally and appropriately be placed on the agenda and whether additional staff or legal review is necessary.

Routine matters that are administrative in nature, noncontroversial, or appropriately considered together may be placed on the Consent Calendar.

Consent Items shall include a staff recommendation and sufficient information for Councilmembers and members of the public to understand the action being requested.

7. Public Hearings
Public hearings shall be scheduled and conducted in accordance with applicable federal and state law, the El Cajon Municipal Code, and other applicable City policies and procedures.

The Mayor shall preside over meetings and, subject to applicable law and City Council rules, shall maintain order and facilitate the orderly consideration of agenda items.

Councilmembers, City staff, and members of the public are encouraged to conduct themselves in a manner that promotes respectful public discourse and allows the City Council to efficiently conduct the City's business.

11. Compliance with Law
Nothing in this policy shall be construed to supersede or limit requirements established by federal or state law, the El Cajon Municipal Code, or other duly adopted City Council policies.

In the event of a conflict between this policy and applicable law, the law shall control.

ADMINISTRATION
The City Manager and City Clerk are authorized to establish administrative procedures consistent with this policy to implement the agenda preparation, submission, posting, distribution, and recordkeeping requirements described herein.

The City Clerk shall periodically review the City's agenda procedures and recommend revisions to this policy when necessary to reflect changes in law, technology, public participation practices, or City Council procedures.

CITY COUNCIL POLICY
POLICY
A-3
PURPOSE:

To establish City Council expectations for the receipt, referral, and response to requests for City services, complaints, and inquiries submitted by members of the public.

To provide an expeditious means of receiving and responding to citizen’s requests for service or investigation of substandard conditions.

BACKGROUND:

Numerous requests are received by the City Council and the City Manager. Citizens expect and deserve a prompt reply to their inquiries. The lack of a reply or a late reply is irritating and frustrating to the citizen as well as representing a poor level of service. This policy is to help insure that citizens receive prompt response to their requests for service or investigation of substandard conditions.

POLICY:

The City Council recognizes that members of the public may contact the City regarding requests for service, complaints, concerns, or other matters involving City programs, services, facilities, or operations. The City is committed to providing appropriate, timely, professional, and courteous responses to such requests.

Requests or complaints may be submitted through a variety of channels, including, but not limited to, telephone, email, the City's website, mobile applications, written correspondence, in-person contact, or other communication methods established by the City.

Requests received by an individual Councilmember that concern City services, operations, or other matters within the responsibility of the City should be referred to the City Manager or the designated staff, as identified by the City Manager, for review and response. Councilmembers may also request that the City Manager’s Office assist in coordinating a response.

The City Manager is responsible for establishing appropriate administrative procedures for receiving, assigning, tracking, investigating, and responding to citizen requests and complaints.

These procedures may vary depending upon the nature and complexity of the matter.

The City Council expects that requests and complaints will be addressed in a timely and professional manner and that members of the public will be informed when additional time is required to investigate or resolve a matter.

CITY COUNCIL POLICY
POLICY
A-3
When a request or complaint involves an existing City policy, requires an interpretation of City Council policy, or otherwise requires direction from the City Council, the matter may be brought forward to the City Council for consideration.

Nothing in this policy limits the authority of an individual Councilmember to communicate with the City Manager regarding constituent concerns, consistent with applicable law and City policies.

Upon receipt of a citizen request for service or investigation of substandard conditions, the request shall be referred to the City Manager’s Office for an investigation and report as indicated. A form, stating the nature of the request, and the name, address and telephone number of the reporting party, will be prepared and forwarded to the appropriate department or departments for investigation and response.

The affected department will then, within ten (10) working days, investigate the request, take such action deemed necessary, and notify the City Manager of the findings and/or action using the Citizen Request form. A copy is to be retained by the department. In the event the request cannot be completed or resolved within the 10-day period, the City Manager shall be apprised of the progress by memo. The reporting party shall also be informed by the department of the progress at that time.

In most instances, requests can be resolved on a departmental basis and will necessitate no further contact of the reporting party by the City Manager’s Office. However, in those instances where an administrative decision or an interpretation of City Council Policy is required, the City Manager may be required to make contact with the reporting party. The City Council will be notified of the final disposition of requests submitted by an individual councilperson.

Agenda Report
Agenda Item 20.

DATE: 09/22/2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: City Councilmember Steve Goble and Mayor Bill Wells SUBJECT: Waive Requirement for Hold Harmless Agreement for a “Welcome to Fletcher Hills” Sign
RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council directs staff to prepare a report with a proposal for the City Council to consider waiving the requirement of a hold harmless agreement for the installation of a “Welcome to Fletcher Hills” sign and to present this report at the City Council meeting on October 13, 2026.

BACKGROUND:

The Fletcher family’s roots in El Cajon go back to the arrival of Col. Ed Fletcher in the late 1800s. Today, many landmarks still bear the Fletcher name: Fletcher Hills Elementary School, Fletcher Parkway, Fletcher Hills Shopping Center, and of course the El Cajon community of Fletcher Hills, developed by Col. Fletcher in the late 1920s.

For decades a sign, “Welcome to Fletcher Hills” adorned the side of Fletcher Parkway halfway up the hill from Cuyamaca Street up to Westwind Drive/Hacienda Drive. As recently as in the past 10 years, that sign was re-created and modernized to welcome drivers to the community.

A similar sign used to welcome drivers on Fletcher Parkway near the border of La Mesa and El Cajon near Chatham Street. Over the decades, that sign’s exposure to the elements resulted in its decline and eventual removal.

Today, the Fletcher family, in collaboration with the Kiwanis of El Cajon along with a candidate for the Boy Scouts of America’s prestigious Eagle Scout rank, seek once again to welcome drivers into El Cajon with a sign nearly identical to the existing sign on Fletcher Parkway between Cuyamaca and Westwind/Hacienda.

City policy requires the sign installers to enter into a Hold Harmless agreement, indemnifying the City from any injuries or other liability from the sign’s presence. If the sign’s proposed location was adjacent to a sidewalk, for instance, the City could face liability if a pedestrian, skateboarder, scooter rider, or even a car were to run into the sign.

In this case, the proposed location for the sign is over 15’ from the edge of the sidewalk, and up a small slope on an earthen shelf, making contact with the sign an extremely low probability.

We would still recommend that the group installing the sign enter into a maintenance agreement acknowledging the City has no responsibility to maintain or replace the sign in case of vandalism, destruction, or wear due to the weather.

Just as the City carries liability on other City-produced monument signs on Cuyamaca (near the airport), 2nd Street, El Cajon Boulevard (near Washington), our request is that the City Council not require a Hold Harmless agreement because of an even lower probability of injury due to this sign’s proposed location than current monument signs.

We are available for any questions.

This action does not constitute a "Project" under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines section 15378(b)(5) because it is an administrative activity of government that does not result in any change in the environment.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None.
