02/2025/A25-022/AgreementAmeriNat Page 33 of 36
• Insureds under primary policies shall also be insureds under the umbrella or excess policies.

Other provisions or requirements
Proof of insurance. CONSULTANT shall provide certificates of insurance to CITY as evidence of the insurance coverage required herein, along with a waiver of subrogation endorsement for workers’ compensation. Insurance certificates and endorsements must be approved by City’s Risk Manager prior to commencement of performance. Current certification of insurance shall be kept on file with CITY at all times during the term of this contract. CITY reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies, at any time.

Duration of coverage. CONSULTANT shall procure and maintain for the duration of the contract insurance against claims for injuries to persons or damages to property, which may arise from or in connection with the performance of the Work hereunder by CONSULTANT, his agents, representatives, employees or sub-consultants.

Primary/noncontributing. Coverage provided by CONSULTANT shall be primary and any insurance or self-insurance procured or maintained by CITY shall not be required to contribute with it. The limits of insurance required herein may be satisfied by a combination of primary and umbrella or excess insurance. Any umbrella or excess insurance shall contain or be endorsed to contain a provision that such coverage shall also apply on a primary and non-contributory basis for the benefit of CITY before the CITY’s own insurance or self-insurance shall be called upon to protect it as a named insured.

CITY’s rights of enforcement. In the event any policy of insurance required under this AGREEMENT does not comply with these specifications or is canceled and not replaced, CITY has the right but not the duty to obtain the insurance it deems necessary and any premium paid by CITY will be promptly reimbursed by CONSULTANT or CITY will withhold amounts sufficient to pay premium from CONSULTANT payments. In the alternative, CITY may cancel this AGREEMENT.

Acceptable insurers. All insurance policies shall be issued by an insurance company currently authorized by the Insurance Commissioner to transact business of insurance or is on the List of Approved Surplus Line Insurers in the State of California, with an assigned policyholders’ Rating of A- (or higher) and Financial Size Category Class VI (or larger) in accordance with the latest edition of Best’s Key Rating Guide, unless otherwise approved by the City’s Risk Manager.

CONSULTANT hereby waives its own right of recovery against CITY, and shall require similar written express waivers and insurance clauses from each of its sub-consultants.

Enforcement of contract provisions (non estoppel). CONSULTANT acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of the CITY to inform CONSULTANT of noncompliance with any requirement imposes no additional obligations on the CITY nor does it waive any rights hereunder.

02/2025/A25-022/AgreementAmeriNat Page 34 of 36
Requirements not limiting. Requirements of specific coverage features or limits contained in this Section are not intended as a limitation on coverage, limits or other requirements, or a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any insurance. Specific reference to a given coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue and is not intended by any party or insured to be all inclusive, or to the exclusion of other coverage, or a waiver of any type. If the Consultant maintains higher limits than the minimums shown above, the CITY requires and shall be entitled to coverage for the higher limits maintained by the Consultant. Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to the CITY.

Notice of cancellation. CONSULTANT agrees to oblige its insurance agent or broker and insurers to provide to CITY with a thirty (30) day notice of cancellation (except for nonpayment for which a ten (10) day notice is required) or nonrenewal of coverage for each required coverage.

Additional insured status. General liability policies shall provide or be endorsed to provide that CITY and its officers, officials, employees, and agents, and volunteers shall be additional insureds under such policies. This provision shall also apply to any excess/umbrella liability policies.

Prohibition of undisclosed coverage limitations. None of the coverages required herein will be in compliance with these requirements if they include any limiting endorsement of any kind that has not been first submitted to CITY and approved of in writing.

Separation of insureds. A severability of interests provision must apply for all additional insureds ensuring that CONSULTANT’s insurance shall apply separately to each insured against whom claim is made or suit is brought, except with respect to the insurer’s limits of liability. The policy(ies) shall not contain any cross-liability exclusions.

Pass through clause. CONSULTANT agrees to ensure that its sub-consultants, sub-contractors, and any other party involved with the project who is brought onto or involved in the project by CONSULTANT, provide the same minimum insurance coverage and endorsements required of CONSULTANT. CONSULTANT agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this section. CONSULTANT agrees that upon request, all agreements with consultants, subcontractors, and others engaged in the project will be submitted to CITY for review.

CITY’s right to revise specifications. The CITY reserves the right at any time during the term of the contract to change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving the CONSULTANT ninety (90) days advance written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial additional cost to the CONSULTANT, the CITY and CONSULTANT may renegotiate CONSULTANT’s compensation.

Self-insured retentions. Any self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by CITY.

CITY reserves the right to require that self-insured retentions be eliminated, lowered, or replaced by a deductible. Self-insurance will not be considered to comply with these specifications unless approved by CITY.

Timely notice of claims. CONSULTANT shall give CITY prompt and timely notice of claims made or suits instituted that arise out of or result from CONSULTANT’s performance under this

02/2025/A25-022/AgreementAmeriNat Page 35 of 36
AGREEMENT, and that involve or may involve coverage under any of the required liability policies.

Additional insurance. CONSULTANT shall also procure and maintain, at its own cost and expense, any additional kinds of insurance, which in its own judgment may be necessary for its proper protection and prosecution of the work.

Claims-made limitations. The following provisions shall apply if any of the required policies are written on a claims-made basis:
a. The Retroactive Date of the policy must be shown and must be before the date of the Agreement or the beginning of the contracted work.
b. Insurance must be maintained and evidence of insurance must be provided for at least five (5) years after completion of the Agreement or the work. c. If coverage is canceled or not renewed and it is not replaced with another claims-made policy form with a Retroactive Date that precedes the date of this Agreement, Consultant must provide extended reporting coverage for a minimum of five (5) years after completion of the Agreement or the work. The Public Agency shall have the right to exercise, at the Consultant's sole cost and expense, any extended reporting provisions of the policy, if the Consultant cancels or does not renew the coverage.
d. A copy of the claim reporting requirements must be submitted to the City prior to the commencement of any work under this Agreement.

FOR THE PURCHASE OF EQUIPMENT FOR THE CITY’S WATER TREATMENT PLANT.

DUE DILIGENCE CHECK FOR CONTRACTORS/CONSULTANTS: DID THE

DEPARTMENT VERIFY CURRENT EL CENTRO BUSINESS LICENSE,
CONTRACTOR'S LICENSE, REFERENCE CHECKS, INSURANCE, ETC.:

BACKGROUND:

The City of El Centro Water Treatment Plant has three finished water reservoirs (tanks).

Two of them have a capacity of 2.5 million gallons, and the third has a capacity of 5 million gallons. In addition, one booster station on La Brucherie Road has a 5-million-gallon reservoir. This is a total of four reservoirs (tanks) in the City. The La Brucherie reservoir currently has a blower installed to help minimize the water disinfection by-product known as trihalomethanes.

DISCUSSION:

It is in the city's best interest to continue meeting state water regulations. Installing two new blowers at two additional reservoirs at the Water Treatment Plant will further lower disinfection by-products and keep the city meeting State Water Standards.

Water Treatment Plant staff procured a quote from D&H Water Systems, Inc. Pursuant to City Code Section 2-177 (a) (1), (3) and (4), no competitive bidding is required for the purchase of such equipment when compatible equipment is available only from one sole source, which in this case is D&H Water Systems, Inc. which provided the original equipment. The quote came in at $61,486.00 and is within the approved budget. Staff recommends the approval of the vendor agreement.

CONCLUSION:

Approve Vendor Agreement and Adopt Resolution No. 25- , RESOLUTION OF THE CITY

COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EL CENTRO APPROVING A VENDOR AGREEMENT WITH D&H WATER SYSTEMS, INC. FOR THE PURCHASE OF EQUIPMENT FOR THE CITY’S WATER TREATMENT PLANT.

IV. TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT
A. The CITY may at any time, for any reason, with or without cause, suspend or terminate this AGREEMENT, or any portion hereof, by serving upon the VENDOR at least ten calendar (10) days prior written notice. Upon receipt of said notice, the VENDOR immediately shall cease all work under this AGREEMENT, unless the notice provides otherwise.

VENDOR shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the CITY, and its officers, employees and agents, from and against any and all causes of action, claims, liabilities, obligations, judgments, or damages, including reasonable legal counsels’ fees and costs of litigation (“claims”), arising out of the VENDOR’s performance of its obligations under this AGREEMENT or out of the operations conducted by VENDOR, including the CITY’s active or passive negligence, except for such loss or damage arising from the sole negligence or willful misconduct of the CITY. In the event the CITY indemnitees are made a party to any action, lawsuit, or other adversarial proceeding arising from VENDOR’s performance of this AGREEMENT, the VENDOR

03/2025/cdz/A25-033/AgreementD&HWaterSystems
shall provide a defense to the CITY indemnitees or at the CITY’s option, reimburse the CITY indemnities their costs of defense, including reasonable legal fees, incurred in defense of such claims.

Payment by CITY is not a condition precedent to enforcement of this indemnity. In the event of any dispute between VENDOR and CITY, as to whether liability arises from the sole negligence of the CITY or its officers, employees, or agents, VENDOR will be obligated to pay for CITY’s defense until such time as a final judgment has been entered adjudicating the CITY as solely negligent. VENDOR will not be entitled in the absence of such a determination to any reimbursement of defense costs including but not limited to attorney’s fees, expert fees and costs of litigation.

XIV. NON-LIABILITY OF CITY OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES
No officer or employee of CITY will be personally liable to VENDOR, in the event of any default or breach by the CITY or for any amount that may become due to VENDOR.

XV. INSURANCE
Without limiting VENDOR’s indemnification of CITY, and prior to VENDOR’s installation inspection, VENDOR shall obtain, provide and maintain at its own expense during the term of this AGREEMENT, policies of insurance of the type and amounts described below and in a form that is satisfactory to CITY.

General liability insurance. VENDOR shall maintain commercial general liability insurance with coverage at least as broad as Insurance Services Office form CG 00 01, in an amount not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence, $2,000,000 general aggregate, for bodily injury, personal injury, and property damage. The policy must include contractual liability that has not been amended. Any endorsement restricting standard ISO “insured contract” language will not be accepted.

Automobile liability insurance. VENDOR shall maintain automobile insurance at least as broad as Insurance Services Office form CA 00 01 covering bodily injury and property damage for all activities of the VENDOR arising out of or in connection with Work to be performed under this AGREEMENT, including coverage for any owned, hired, non-owned or rented vehicles, in an amount not less than $1,000,000 combined single limit for each accident.

Workers’ compensation insurance. VENDOR shall maintain Workers’ Compensation Insurance (Statutory Limits) and Employer’s Liability Insurance (with limits of at least $1,000,000). VENDOR shall submit to CITY, along with the certificate of insurance, a Waiver of Subrogation endorsement in favor of CITY, its officers, agents, employees and volunteers.

Other provisions or requirements
Proof of insurance. VENDOR shall provide certificates of insurance to CITY as evidence of the insurance coverage required herein, along with a waiver of subrogation endorsement for workers’ compensation.

Insurance certificates and endorsements must be approved by CITY’s Risk Manager prior to commencement of performance. Current certification of insurance shall be kept on file with CITY at all times during the term of this contract. CITY reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies, at any time.

03/2025/cdz/A25-033/AgreementD&HWaterSystems
Duration of coverage. VENDOR shall procure and maintain for the duration of the contract insurance against claims for injuries to persons or damages to property, which may arise from or in connection with the performance of the Work hereunder by VENDOR, his agents, representatives, employees or subconsultants.

Primary/noncontributing. Coverage provided by VENDOR shall be primary and any insurance or selfinsurance procured or maintained by CITY shall not be required to contribute with it. The limits of insurance required herein may be satisfied by a combination of primary and umbrella or excess insurance. Any umbrella or excess insurance shall contain or be endorsed to contain a provision that such coverage shall also apply on a primary and non-contributory basis for the benefit of CITY before the CITY’s own insurance or selfinsurance shall be called upon to protect it as a named insured.

CITY’s rights of enforcement. In the event any policy of insurance required under this AGREEMENT does not comply with these specifications or is canceled and not replaced, CITY has the right but not the duty to obtain the insurance it deems necessary and any premium paid by CITY will be promptly reimbursed by VENDOR or CITY will withhold amounts sufficient to pay premium from VENDOR payments. In the alternative, CITY may cancel this AGREEMENT.

Acceptable insurers. All insurance policies shall be issued by an insurance company currently authorized by the Insurance Commissioner to transact business of insurance or is on the List of Approved Surplus Line Insurers in the State of California, with an assigned policyholders’ Rating of A- (or higher) and Financial Size Category Class VII (or larger) in accordance with the latest edition of Best’s Key Rating Guide, unless otherwise approved by the CITY’s Risk Manager.

Waiver of subrogation. All insurance coverage maintained or procured pursuant to this AGREEMENT shall be endorsed to waive subrogation against CITY, its elected or appointed officers, agents, officials, employees and volunteers or shall specifically allow VENDOR or others providing insurance evidence in compliance with these specifications to waive their right of recovery prior to a loss. VENDOR hereby waives its own right of recovery against CITY, and shall require similar written express waivers and insurance clauses from each of its subconsultants.

Enforcement of contract provisions (non estoppel). VENDOR acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of the CITY to inform VENDOR of non-compliance with any requirement imposes no additional obligations on the CITY nor does it waive any rights hereunder.

Requirements not limiting. Requirements of specific coverage features or limits contained in this Section are not intended as a limitation on coverage, limits or other requirements, or a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any insurance. Specific reference to a given coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue and is not intended by any party or insured to be all inclusive, or to the exclusion of other coverage, or a waiver of any type. If the VENDOR maintains higher limits than the minimums shown above, the CITY requires and shall be entitled to coverage for the higher limits maintained by the VENDOR. Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to the CITY.

03/2025/cdz/A25-033/AgreementD&HWaterSystems
Notice of cancellation. VENDOR agrees to oblige its insurance agent or broker and insurers to provide to CITY with a thirty (30) day notice of cancellation (except for nonpayment for which a ten (10) day notice is required) or nonrenewal of coverage for each required coverage.

Additional insured status. General liability policies shall provide or be endorsed to provide that CITY and its officers, officials, employees, and agents shall be additional insureds under such policies. This provision shall also apply to any excess/umbrella liability policies.

Prohibition of undisclosed coverage limitations. None of the coverages required herein will be in compliance with these requirements if they include any limiting endorsement of any kind that has not been first submitted to CITY and approved of in writing.

Separation of insureds. A severability of interests provision must apply for all additional insureds ensuring that VENDOR’s insurance shall apply separately to each insured against whom claim is made or suit is brought, except with respect to the insurer’s limits of liability. The policy(ies) shall not contain any crossliability exclusions.

Pass through clause. VENDOR agrees to ensure that its sub-consultants, sub-contractors, and any other party involved with the project who is brought onto or involved in the project by VENDOR, provide the same minimum insurance coverage and endorsements required of VENDOR. VENDOR agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this section. VENDOR agrees that upon request, all AGREEMENTS with consultants, subcontractors, and others engaged in the project will be submitted to CITY for review.

CITY’s right to revise specifications. The CITY reserves the right at any time during the term of the contract to change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving the VENDOR ninety (90) days advance written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial additional cost to the VENDOR, the CITY and VENDOR may renegotiate VENDOR’s compensation.

Self-insured retentions. Any self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by CITY. CITY reserves the right to require that self-insured retentions be eliminated, lowered, or replaced by a deductible.

Self-insurance will not be considered to comply with these specifications unless approved by CITY.

Timely notice of claims. VENDOR shall give CITY prompt and timely notice of claims made or suits instituted that arise out of or result from VENDOR’s performance under this AGREEMENT, and that involve or may involve coverage under any of the required liability policies.

Additional insurance. VENDOR shall also procure and maintain, at its own cost and expense, any additional kinds of insurance, which in its own judgment may be necessary for its proper protection and prosecution of the Work.

SUBCONTRACTORS

The City of El Centro, designated as an entitlement community by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), expects to have available $620,186 in FY 2025- 2026 under the Community Development Block Grant Program to address housing and community development needs.

As a prerequisite for funding under the CDBG Entitlement Program, the City is required to prepare a One-Year Action Plan, which outlines the projects and/or programs the City will use to address its housing and community development needs. The One-Year Action Plan includes a listing of activities that the City will undertake during fiscal year 2025-2026 (July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026) with CDBG funds.

DISCUSSION:

Attached is the Draft One-Year Action Plan for fiscal year 2025-2026 outlining the

implementation of the second year of the City's 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan. In preparing this draft, staff held public meetings, collaborated with other City Departments to assess their needs, and engaged with the City Council during a presentation on February 18, 2025. The proposed projects and activities have been deemed eligible and aligned with HUD's national objectives. As required by HUD, the Plan will be available for a 30-day public review period from April 15, 2025 to May 15, 2025. Following this review period, the Plan will be submitted to HUD for review and approval by May 16, 2025.

CONCLUSION:

It is staff recommendation that the City Council open the public hearing and solicit public input on the 2025-2026 Draft One-Year Action Plan prepared for funds under the CDBG Entitlement Program and provide any changes or modifications to the Plan subject to a 30- day public review period and adopt Resolution No. 25- RESOLUTION OF THE CITY

2 Executive Summary
AP-05 Executive Summary - 24 CFR 91.200(c), 91.220(b)

1. Introduction
The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires that all state and local governments prepare an Annual Action Plan that brings needs and resources together to achieve statutory goals, thereby, addressing decent housing, creating a suitable living environment, and expanding economic opportunities for all persons, particularly low and moderate-income residents. This requirement includes the City's federal planning application, and reporting requirements for receiving Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds.

The 2025-2026 Annual Action Plan describes all available resources for housing programs. This Annual Plan also highlights all of the available resources to the City of El Centro for use in carrying out housing, public service and other community development activities.

For the program year 2025-2026, El Centro anticipates receiving $526,655 in CDBG funds. Of the funds received, the City intends to allocate approximately fifteen percent (15%) or $78,998 for public services activities, four-point seven percent (4.7%) or $25,000 for housing and public facilities projects, ten-point six percent (10.6%) or $56,000 for Code Enforcement in blighted areas, forty-nine point six percent (49.6%) or $261,326 for public facilities and/or infrastructure, and twenty percent (20%) or $105,331 for administration.

It is also anticipated that the city will receive an additional $25,000 in Program Income and intends to allocate twenty percent (20%) or $5,000 for Program Administration, fifteen percent (15%) or $3,750 of the Program Income toward Public Services, and the balance of $16,250 will be applied to public facilities and/or infrastructure projects.

In addition to the annual allocation, the City will have $68,531 of Entitlement funds from previous years available for re-allocation. This full amount will be applied to public facilities projects.

Upon receiving the final allocation amount for the 2025-2026 program year, the activities outlined above will be adjusted accordingly.

The Annual Action Plan is intended to provide a method to receive input from many different sources. In effect, this document was developed through the combined efforts of City staff,

3 City Council, and through the Citizen Participation process of local non-profit organizations and residents of El Centro.

The staff responsible for overseeing the development of El Centro's 2025-2026 Annual Action Plan is the Community Services Department’s Economic Development Division.

4 2. Summarize the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan The City has extensive housing and community development needs. The CDBG program alone is not adequate to address the myriad of needs in the community. Recognizing the national objectives of the CDBG program and specific program regulations, the City intends to use CDBG funds to offer programs, services, and projects that create a decent and suitable living environment to benefit low and moderate-income households and those with special needs.

Through the citizen participation process, the City established six priority needs. To address these needs, the City utilized information obtained from the community, stakeholders and past program history to establish objectives / goals to guide the program toward addressing the priority needs.

3. Evaluation of past performance
Over the past 20 years, the City of El Centro has made remarkable progress in achieving many of the goals and objectives included in the City's Five-Year Consolidated plans. Unfortunately, due to the continued reduction in allocation of CDBG funds to the City, the number of people assisted with CDBG funds has been significantly reduced. Since 2004, the City has seen an estimated 40% reduction in its allocation and it is anticipated that further reductions will be

6 done in the future. The City has also strived to focus the majority of its public infrastructure and facility needs within neighborhoods with the highest concentration of low- to moderateincome persons.

The City is not the only organization that has been negatively impacted by a reduction in revenue sources. Many, if not all, of the nonprofit agencies the City collaborates with to deliver supportive services have experienced significant reductions in their program budgets over the past five years.

Given the amount of CDBG funds expected to be available during this Annual Action Plan period, the City will focus its efforts on providing assistance to organizations, in most cases, that are well established, have demonstrated the ability to administer their CDBG funds in a timely manner, and have a good delivery system in place to provide services to clients, that meet an identified target group where significant needs exist, or a qualifying target group that requires assistance. All programs and project proposals submitted during the City's Request for Proposal period were evaluated using the following criteria: project feasibility, activity eligibility, whether funding will directly benefit the community, project budget (City has limited the use of CDBG funds for salaries to no more than 20% to nonprofit agencies), leveraging of program with other sources of funding, and past year’s performance with CDBG funds.

The City understands how important it is to continue providing services to the elderly, homeless, those at-risk of becoming homeless, youth, and persons with disabilities, affordable housing activities, and public improvements and facilities that benefit low-to moderate-income persons.

4. Summary of “Citizen Participation Process” and consultation process The successful implementation of a plan occurs when there is broad support for the strategies in the plan. This is evidenced by the involvement of local public officials, business, faith-based organizations, and other community-based organizations. The citizen participation and consultation process were created with the intent of obtaining input from stakeholders who are critical to identifying the needs in our community.

A Citizen Participation Plan is an integral component for the receipt of federal funds, which in the City of El Centro's case is under the CDBG program. Such plan establishes the process City staff follows to solicit the necessary public input to create the Five-Year Consolidated Plan.

The City's Citizen Participation Plan sets forth the City's policies and procedures for public involvement in El Centro's Consolidated Planning Process. The Economic Development

7 Division of the Community Services Department, acting as the lead agency for the Consolidated Plan is responsible for the citizen participation process and for making available the Consolidated Plan and other CDBG related documents, such as this Annual Action Plan, Consolidated Annual Performance Evaluation Report (CAPER), and any Substantial Amendments to the Consolidated Plan or Action Plan.

The essential elements of the citizen participation and consultation process is to encourage public input via community meetings, public hearings, providing full access of CDBG documents, community input at different community events, and the City's website. Below is a summary of the citizen participation process the City completed to prepare this Annual Action Plan.
• Information posted on City's website at www.cityofelcentro.org. • Published first notice of public meeting and solicitation of public input on November 15, 2024, and December 6, 2024, in Adelante (Spanish newspaper). • Published notice of two public meetings and solicitation of public input on November 15, 2024, and December 6, 2024, in Imperial Valley Press (English newspaper). • First community meeting held at the El Centro Adult Center on November 25, 2024. • Second community meeting held at City of El Centro Council Chambers on December 16, 2024.

5. Summary of public comments
As part of the Annual Action Plan development, a public hearing was held on April 15, 2025, to solicit input on the City's proposed uses of CDBG funds and to finalize its funding allocations.

The public hearing was held at 1275 Main Street, El Centro, California. A 30-day public review period of the Annual Action Plan was held from April 15, 2025, through May 15, 2025.

8 6. Summary of comments or views not accepted and the reasons for not accepting them No comments were received.

7. Summary
The City of El Centro encourages community participation in the development of the Annual Action Plan. The City's Citizen Participation Plan emphasizes the involvement of low to moderate-income persons, particularly where housing and community development funds are spent. The Citizen Participation process includes a public review period of 30 days to obtain citizen input on the projects or strategies proposed. Public input is very significant during the development of the Annual Action Plan as it enables the City to determine the type of programs and activities to fund in order to continue meeting the needs of the community.

11 AP-10 Consultation – 91.100, 91.200(b), 91.215(l)

1. Introduction
The City of El Centro followed its Citizen's Participation Plan to notify and encourage the public, other local government agencies, private businesses, nonprofit organizations, the Imperial Valley Continuum of Care Council (also known as the “IVCCC”), etc. to participate in the City’s development of the Consolidated Plan as required by 24 CRF 91.100. The City of El Centro is an active member of the IVCCC (which includes various County departments, many nonprofit organizations, local housing authorities, as well as other agencies) and works directly with the homeless population. The IVCCC meets on a monthly basis; hence, it allows the City to communicate with other nonprofit organizations and County departments providing supportive services on a regular basis. These services are not only for individuals who are homeless, but individuals that require other types of assistance that may not be homeless (i.e., persons with disabilities, at-risk of becoming homeless, domestic abuse, battered women, senior assistance, etc.).

During the process of preparing the 2025-2026 Annual Action Plan, the City of El Centro followed the same citizen participation process as outlined above for the Consolidated Plan.

Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction’s activities to enhance coordination between public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health and service agencies (91.215(l))
The City of El Centro, as previously mentioned, is part of the IVCCC. The IVCCC meets once a month to discuss service delivery and assistance to be provided to homeless persons. Members of the IVCCC include public agencies, housing authorities, communitybased organizations, faith-based organizations, and private citizens representing the interest of the homeless population.

The IVCCC serves as the forum to coordinate with its members many of the goals and objectives under the Continuum of Care system. The IVCCC participates in the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) to gather data on specific issues that the homeless and the homeless providers face on a day-to-day basis. Through this coordination, the City will be able to address homeless needs in the community and the region as a whole.

Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth) and persons at risk of homelessness.

12 The IVCCC was consulted to provide information on homelessness and resources available. Several agencies that provide housing and supportive wrap-around services in the City of El Centro for the homeless and those at risk of becoming homeless include WomanHaven, Catholic Charities (Homeless Day Center) and Salvation Army.

Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction's area in determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards for and evaluate outcomes of projects and activities assisted by ESG funds, and develop funding, policies and procedures for the operation and administration of HMIS The City of El Centro does not receive ESG funding. However, since the City is part of the Continuum of Care system through the IVCCC, it participates in the ESG process when local organizations are applying for ESG funds. Through the IVCCC, a review committee is formed so it may review data and rank organizations that are applying for or receiving ESG funds based on the new Tier System. Once ranking has been completed, the rankings are submitted to HUD for review and notices are sent to the respective organization for appeal and review of ranking. It has been determined that Catholic Charities will be the HMIS lead agency in Imperial County. As the lead agency, Catholic Charities will be responsible for providing technical support to train organizations in the HMIS system. The IVCCC in coordinated efforts with the County of Imperial launched the HMIS system on April 2, 2015. The County funded its operation for the first year. Thereafter, request for funds to operate and maintain the HMIS system on a yearly basis are being done through local non-profit agencies directly working with the homeless population and public jurisdictions, such as cities.

2. Describe Agencies, groups, organizations and others who participated in the process and describe the jurisdiction’s consultations with housing, social service agencies and other entities
The City launched a collaborative effort to consult with City elected officials, City departments, community stakeholders, and beneficiaries of entitlement programs to inform and develop the priorities and strategies contained with this action plan. Below is a comprehensive list of participants.

Introduction
The anticipated resources to be available to assist with the implementation of the second year of the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan, which starts on July 1, 2025 and ends on June 30, 2026, are described below.

However, prior to identifying the resources available to complete activities in program year 2025-2026, it is important to highlight the amount of funding available in CDBG funds and the type of activities the City will be completing with these funds. The City will have approximately $526,655 of CDBG funds and $68,531 in reprogrammed funds to complete the following activities and anticipates receiving $25,000 in Program Income for a total of $620,186.

Table 5 - Expected Resources – Priority Table

23 Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how matching requirements will be satisfied The only federal funds the City receives as a direct allocation from the Office of Community Planning and Development (CPD) formula programs is CDBG funds. The City does not receive ESG, HOPWA, Section 8, or any other type of federal funds.

If there is an area where the City has been very effective, is in the leveraging of funds. Over the years, the City has managed to leverage CDBG funds with other state, local, and private donations. For instance, when the opportunity is available, the City will apply for HOME funds through the State of California Department of Housing and Community Development to fund a housing rehabilitation loan program, rather than using CDBG funds for this program. The City also applies for HOME funds, especially now that redevelopment funds are no longer available for the preservation or construction of new affordable housing projects. During periods of time when HOME funds are not available, the City continues to offer housing rehabilitation opportunities through the CDBG Program.

City staff continuously works with interested developers to identify sources of funding for the construction of new affordable, multi-family housing such as tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds, State of California Multi-Family Housing Program, and tax credits. In FY 2021-22, the City partnered with Chelsea Investment Corporation to apply for funding from the Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities (AHSC) grant opportunity through the Strategic Growth Council (SGC) and HCD for the Jacaranda Gardens affordable housing development.

The proposed housing development consists of a 168-unit affordable housing project targeted for low-income residents who earn 30% to 60% of the Area Median Income. Of the 168 units, 166 will be affordable units and 2 manager’s units; 40 will be one-bedroom units, 78 will be two-bedroom units, and 48 will be three-bedroom units. Phase I of the development will include 96 units, 24 will be one-bedroom, 47 will be two-bedroom, and 24 will be threebedroom. Phase II will include 16 one-bedroom units, 31 two-bedroom units, and 24 will be three-bedroom. Both projects will also include a manager’s unit each that is not income restricted. In February 2022, the SGC approved the application for the Jacaranda Gardens in the amount of $15.8 Million. The project is currently under construction.

The City has effectively partnered and plans to continue partnering with affordable housing developers and lenders to create new affordable housing units in the city. The City will also continue supporting the efforts of the Imperial Valley Housing Authority to obtain state and federal funds for the construction of affordable housing for lower income households.

24 In terms of economic development activities, the City seeks other sources of funding through the U.S. Department of Commerce, Economic Development Administration, and from the Local Entity Program, which is a local funding source available for economic development projects from the Imperial Irrigation District.

For transportation related projects, the City applies for funds under the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) through the State of California Department of Transportation, Federal Transit Administration (FTA), and State of California Proposition 1B.

Another local funding source available in our community is the Rule 310- Mitigation Program, which is administered by the Imperial County Air Pollution Control District (ICAPCD). Any application submitted to this program has to be leveraged with other funding sources. This local funding source has been used in the past to pave parking lots for City parks.

The ICAPCD also administers funding available through AB 617 for the Calexico, Heber, El Centro Corridor. As part of this program, the City has the opportunity to apply for funding for Paving Projects that will aid in reducing particulate matter emissions by paving unpaved lots and roads within the corridor.

The City leverages many programs with its General Fund and Development Impact Fees. For example, the City's code enforcement program is leveraged with the City's General Fund. Many of the recreational activities or facilities on which CDBG funds have been used are leveraged with local funding source has been in the past to pave parking lots for City Parks.

City staff continues to identify new funding opportunities for the City that could enhance existing community services and/or address community needs. Staff is committed to leveraging funds at all levels whether it is at the federal, state, or local level. City staff will continue collaborating with the County of Imperial and local non-profit agencies to continue providing supportive services to the special-needs population. Many of the community events the City offers are partially funded with private donations from local businesses, financial institutions, service clubs, and other community-based organizations.

If appropriate, describe publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that may be used to address the needs identified in the plan The majority of the publicly owned land or property the City of El Centro owns has public facilities the City uses to conduct business or to provide recreational opportunities.

25 Upon the dissolution of the El Centro Redevelopment Agency, a Long-Range Property Management Plan (LRPMP) was created. At the time, there were 19 properties that are owned by the now dissolved redevelopment agency. Of the 19 properties, eight were for government use, four for commercial and industrial use, and seven were residential lots, which can be used to provide affordable housing to low-income households. The Long- Range Property Management Plan (LRPMP), which was required to be submitted to the State of California Department of Finance (DOF) by successor agencies, was reviewed and approved by DOF.

In 2020, the Surplus Land Act (SLA) was modified by AB1486 to ensure availability of property for affordable housing development. The SLA is a “right of first refusal” law that requires all local agencies to offer surplus land for sale or lease to affordable home developers and certain other entities before selling or leasing the land to any other individual or entity. Any time a local agency disposes of land, it must follow the SLA unless the land qualifies as exempt surplus land. Dispositions include both sales and leases. If a Notice of Interest (NOI) is received from a qualified party, a deed restriction must be recorded requiring that, in the event 10 or more residential units are developed on the land, 15% of the units must be set aside for affordable housing. Since the enactment of AB1486, the Agency has sold six of the residential lots and one of the commercial properties. The City of El Centro Successor Agency is evaluating the disposition of the remainder of the properties. The six residential lots were sold to a local realtor who will be constructing housing on the lots. At least 15% of the units will be established as affordable housing.

Discussion
During the time period of the Five-Year Consolidated Plan (2025-2029) City staff will continue to seek resources that contribute to the goals of providing decent housing, a suitable living environment, and economic opportunities for low- and moderate-income persons and special populations. The City will make every effort to align its collective resources towards meeting its goals and objectives within this Annual Action Plan.

Introduction
Priority Needs established in the FY 2025 - FY 2029 Five-Year Consolidated Plan, which form the basis for establishing objectives and outcomes in the FY 2025-26 Action Plan are as follows:
• Provide decent and affordable housing
• Support the continuum of care system for the homeless • Promote equal housing opportunity
• Provide community facilities and infrastructure
• Provide community and supportive services
• Encourage economic development opportunities
The major obstacle to addressing the underserved needs is the lack of adequate funding, especially for affordable housing activities. With the dissolution of redevelopment agencies in California and reduced State and Federal funding levels, the City's ability to address the extensive needs in the community are seriously compromised.

Description of the geographic areas of the entitlement (including areas of low-income and minority concentration) where assistance will be directed The majority of the City of El Centro qualifies as a low and moderate-income area. Therefore, given the extensive needs in the community, the City has not targeted any specific neighborhood for investment of CDBG funds. Instead, projects are evaluated on a case-bycase basis, based on emergency needs, cost-effectiveness, feasibility, and availability of other funding to address the needs or leverage federal funds.

40 Affordable Housing
AP-55 Affordable Housing – 91.220(g)
Introduction
The City plans to utilize CDBG funds to support its authorized housing activities including leadbased paint and asbestos testing / abatement programs. Two households will be assisted through the Housing Rehabilitation Program with CDBG funding. This will include evaluation for lead based paint and asbestos along with remediation, if necessary.

In 2019, the City in collaboration with AMG and Associates, LLC was successful in securing a HOME Investment Partnership grant in the amount of $5,100,000 from the State of California Department of Housing (HCD) and Community Development for the development of affordable housing. Of the amount received, $5,000,000 was subsequently lent to the affordable housing developer to leverage with California Tax Credit Allocation funding, as well as tax-exempt bond funding for the construction of the El Dorado Apartment complex. The City also committed $134,000 of HOME Program Income Funds as a loan to the developer. The first phase of development has 24 housing units and targets families earning up to 60% of the area median income for Imperial County. The complex became available for occupancy in December 2021.

Additionally, the Successor Agency to the City of El Centro Redevelopment Agency committed $500,000 in funding toward the development of the Countryside II Apartments, also known as Girasol. The developer of this project was successful in securing HOME funding in the amount of $5,000,000 and secured additional funding to leverage for the project including tax-exempt bond funding. The complex has 56 housing units and targets seniors aged 55 and older which are at 30% to 60% of the Area Median Income for Imperial County. The project opened for occupancy in February 2022.

As previously mentioned, in FY 2021-22, the City partnered with Chelsea Investment Corp. to apply for funding from the Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities grant opportunity through the Strategic Growth Council (SGC) and HCD for the Jacaranda Gardens affordable housing development. The proposed housing development consists of a 168-unit affordable housing project targeted for low-income residents who earn 30% to 60% of the Area Median Income. Phase I of the development include 96 units, 24 one-bedroom, 48 twoPage 230 of 356 41 bedroom, and 24 three-bedroom. The project opened for occupancy on October 2024.

42 AP-60 Public Housing – 91.220(h)
Introduction
The City of El Centro does not operate its own public housing authority. Therefore, residents of El Centro seek public housing and housing choice vouchers through the Imperial Valley Housing Authority (IVHA).

Actions planned during the next year to address the needs to public housing The needs of public housing are addressed by the Imperial Valley Housing Authority.

Actions to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and participate in homeownership
The Imperial Valley Housing Authority established The Family-Self Sufficiency Program (FSS) to assist Section 8 residents and Public Housing (PH) families to gain economic independence from all governmental assistance. There are currently 29 participating families (12 Section 8 and 17 PH).

To assist first-time homebuyers, the Imperial Valley Housing Authority (IVHA) has established the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Homeownership Program (HP). The HP assists eligible participants in the Section 8 program that are also a part of the FSS Program. Outreach efforts are also extended to the residents of the Public Housing Program. In order to maximize the use of resources available to home seekers, the IVHA and Community Valley Bank apply for the Workforce Initiative Subsidy for Homeownership (WISH) offered by the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco (FHLBSF). This program assists income qualified first time home buyers by providing a 4:1 match on homebuyer contribution up to $30,500 for down payment and closing costs. The IV Housing Authority also partners with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to support the First-Time Home Buyer Program.

The Housing Authority actively promotes homeownership among all program participants.

This promotion begins at the family's briefings and orientation upon inception of housing assistance. The Homeownership Coordinator works closely with each family to identify barriers they may have in becoming homebuyers and sets up an individual service plan with each adult family member that identifies the barriers, the steps each adult family member needs to take to eliminate the barrier, and the timeframe in which to do so.

44 AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities – 91.220(i) Introduction
Homeless and homeless prevention services are identified as a high priority need in the FY 2025 - FY 2029 Consolidated Plan. The City anticipates expending approximately 17% of its public service cap (up to fifteen percent [15%] of the CDBG annual allocation) on homeless and homeless prevention services.

Describe the jurisdiction’s one-year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness including reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs:

The City of El Centro participates in the Imperial Valley Continuum of Care Council (IVCCC), comprised of five cities and the County of Imperial, non-profit service providers, and stakeholders. The IVCCC oversees the various programs to address issues regarding homelessness in the region. The IVCCC also oversees the collection of regional homeless data, identifies gaps in services, and leads strategic planning for future creation of permanent housing for the homeless. The City will continue to work with the IVCCC as staffing and resources allow to support services and apply for funding to address (and end) homelessness in our region.

The City uses its CDBG funds to complement the IVCCC strategy. For FY 2025-2026, the City plans to allocate funding in the amount of $11,468 to Catholic Charities for their Homeless Day Center. This program provides the homeless population services such as shelter, personal care facilities, access to comprehensive continuum of care services, and linkage to longer-term housing and referrals to other community-based services. The City will also be providing $16,280 to Catholic Charities for their Senior Nutrition Program. This activity will provide meals to homebound seniors in order to enable them to remain independent in their own residence.

Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons The City plans to allocate $11,468 for Catholic Charities (Homeless Day Center) to address the homeless population by providing services such as shelter, personal care facilities, access to comprehensive continuum of care services, and linkage to longer-term housing and referrals to other community-based services.

45 Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again As mentioned previously, El Centro participates in the IVCCC in its efforts in ending chronic homelessness. The IVCCC coordinates services from other agencies for the homeless.

Chronically homeless persons require rehabilitation services, employment training and placement, health services, and case management to move from homelessness to transitional housing, and then to supportive/permanent housing. The IVCCC offers a full range of services and facilities. The City supports the IVCCC's strategy in providing supportive services that would improve their employment skills.

Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals and families and those who are: being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities, foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); or, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs
The City and five incorporated cities of Imperial County have made a long-term commitment to defeating chronic homelessness. The City of El Centro will continue being part of the IVCCC, which is the main vehicle to address homelessness in Imperial County.

Discussion
The City of El Centro does not receive HOPWA funds.

46 AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing – 91.220(j)
Introduction:

The City of El Centro minimizes the financial impact in its efforts to protect public health and safety by taking actions to reduce costs or provide offsetting financial incentives to assist in the production of safe, high quality, affordable housing.

Actions it planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the return on residential investment
On April 7, 2015, the City Council of the City of El Centro adopted Ordinance No. 15-04, a City Ordinance providing for the deferral of payment of development impact fees. This ordinance in essence provides for the temporary deferral of the impact fees to the earlier of final inspection or Certificate of Occupancy, or one year from the date the deferral is approved by the City Manager. Even though this ordinance does not waive development impact fees, it is of benefit to residential projects because developers do not have to finance the payment of these fees up front.

To ensure the development of affordable housing, the City will make efforts to ensure that developmental review processes are efficient, fees reasonable, and that the development industry is involved in the formulation of policies regarding review processes and fees.

Actions to ensure future housing affordability include the approval of density bonuses and enhanced permit processing procedures.

Additionally, the City will continue to utilize available resources to assist in increasing the availability of affordable housing through such means as:
• Fast track permitting processes, where and when possible • Maximize limited resources to increase affordable housing units • Continue to ensure that General Plan and Zoning Code allow for all types of development and a broad range of densities
• Implement programs and services that provide financial assistance to maintain affordable housing
• Address discriminatory barriers through awareness and education workshops • Undertake projects to address physical barriers where and when possible • Develop and implement programs that address identified barriers to fair and affordable housing

47 AP-85 Other Actions – 91.220(k)
Introduction:

Priority Needs established in the 2025-2029 Five-Year Consolidated Plan, which form the basis for establishing objectives and outcomes in the FY 2025-2026 One-Year Annual Action Plan, are as follows:
• Provide decent affordable housing
• Support the continuum of care system for the homeless • Promote equal housing opportunity
• Provide community facilities and infrastructure
• Provide community and supportive services
• Encourage economic development opportunities
Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs The retention of the affordable housing stock is an important element in providing housing that meets the needs of existing and future residents. The rehabilitation of deteriorating and substandard housing occupied by extremely low, low, and moderate-income property owners is a priority as it represents a large portion of the population sustaining housing cost burdens and substandard conditions. The City currently has prior year CDBG funding available to aid in the rehabilitation of properties of low/moderate income-eligible homeowners during the 2025-2026 program year. This funding will be supplemented by CalHOME or HOME Program Income. The City has also received State HOME funding in the amount of $400,000 to continue with Owner-Occupied Housing Rehabilitation Program efforts.

Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing The majority of the actions identified as part of this Action Plan are specifically aimed at increasing and maintaining the City's existing affordable housing stock. Activities such as new construction, conservation of at-risk units, and preservation of existing units are all striving to increase the affordable housing stock.

Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards
Lead-based paint in residential units poses severe health and behavioral threats to children.

The State of California established a comprehensive program to identify children at risk of lead poisoning in 1991. That year the State established a program requiring that all children up to

48 the age of six be screened for lead poisoning.

The Imperial County Public Health Department has a contract with the State of California Department of Health Services (DHA) to provide public health follow-up in accordance with the Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Act of 1991. This Act established a comprehensive secondary prevention program requiring evaluation, screening and medically necessary follow-up services. The Act defined “appropriate case management” as consisting of health care referral, environmental assessments and educational activities performed by the appropriate person, professional, or entity. These guidelines require follow-up on children who meet the case definition, one-venous blood lead level >20 mcg/dl or two blood lead levels >15 mcg/dl. Imperial County provides these services through the local Childhood Lead Poising Prevention Program.

The City addresses lead based paint hazards on a case-by-case basis through the following steps:

Step 1: As newer homes are built under stricter environmental guidelines and the sale and rental of older homes are regulated to protect potential buyers and renters, while lead-based paint hazard is still a potential problem, it has allowed for better protection to children and adults. This minimizes lead-based paint hazards in new homes.

Step 2: The City will work with residents and the Imperial County Public Health Department to address the issue of lead-based paint hazards through testing and abatement efforts on a case-by-case basis.

Step 3: The City will conduct outreach and education through the City’s Community Services and Community Development Departments. These departments will ensure that regulations related to enforcement of lead-based paint are carried out on City projects and on private projects, when possible, through rehabilitation of older units. Distribution of educational brochures as well as inspections will be undertaken given specific situations.

Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families The majority of the strategies incorporated in the City's Annual Action Plan are intended to target the housing and economic needs of the community, particularly for lower income households. This includes those who are homeless or threatened with homelessness, as well as those with special needs; therefore, the City's Plan is aimed at reducing, to the extent possible, the number of poverty level families and individuals taking into consideration the many factors which the City has no control (e.g. reduction in funding resources, severe

49 economic recessions, increasing costs in medical care, company downsizing, company closures, etc.).

The effects of the City's efforts will result in the direct preservation and provision of housing.

This is particularly true for those activities, which preserve and produce housing units intended for lower income families and individuals, together with the coordinated programs undertaken with other public agencies, service providers and private industry. These efforts will incrementally assist in the reduction of the number of poverty level families through the provisions of housing and community services.

In an effort to reduce the number of households in poverty, El Centro will continue to support the use of existing County job training and social service programs to enhance employment marketability, household income, and housing options. In addition, the City participates in various county-sponsored programs by providing City Hall as a work site, providing temporary positions, with supervision, training and performance evaluations to indicate their degree of success. Lastly, the City works in cooperation with the Imperial Valley Small Business Development Center, which offers training and counseling for small start-up businesses.

Actions planned to develop institutional structure
The City continues to collaborate with a number of non-profit agencies and other city departments in order to provide for the affordable housing and community development needs of its residents. As part of its grant administration, the City provides technical assistance to its sub recipients and monitors their performance in both meeting the client's needs and capacity to comply with regulatory requirements. This process of monitoring helps the City enhance and increase the overall service delivery to low- and moderate-income residents.

Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies
The City maintains a contact list of interested potential applicants. Letters or notices announcing the availability of funds are mailed to these interested agencies at least annually, in addition to notices published in the local newspaper and the posting of notices at the City's library, the City's various social media platforms and on the City website. Applications for public services and public facility projects are accepted after notification for a minimum of a 30-day availability period as stated above. In addition, staff attends several local and regional meetings, which include service providers, neighboring agencies and elected officials to keep abreast of issues affecting the quality of life for El Centro's low-income residents. The City

50 maintains a web presence and is pro-active in providing technical assistance throughout the year to assist interested citizens and agencies in understanding and applying for El Centro's CDBG funds.

In addition, the City is developing enhancements and strengthening its coordination and consultation processes with other agencies, including State and local public agencies, the Imperial Valley Continuum of Care Council and others to ensure that needed services and funding for homeless and other services are directed to the El Centro residents specifically.

Staff has and will continue to consult closely with members of the Imperial Valley Continuum of Care Council to develop efficiencies in data sharing and strategic planning which will ultimately achieve the goals and objectives of the City's Annual Action Plan.

BACKGROUND:

Imperial Valley College District, alongside the SDICCCA partners, is seeking $2 million in federal funding to expand workforce development efforts that directly serve Imperial Valley County and the surrounding border region. This $2 million request will strengthen workforce development initiatives across Imperial Valley and San Diego Counties, helping to build a more resilient and future-ready regional economy.

IVC's Superintendent/President, Dr. Lennor Johnson, who currently serves as Chair of SDICCCA, has been a driving force behind this initiative, and is committed to advancing opportunities for students across the region. This initiative is designed to align the programs with workforce demands in high-growth sectors such as technology, life sciences, advanced manufacturing, and business.

DISCUSSION:

By equipping students with the skills needed for in-demand jobs, workforce development programs can help reduce unemployment, and help individuals gain the skills they need to find and keep jobs. Cities with a well-trained workforce attract businesses, potentially leading to job creation and investments. Workforce development can help a city diversify its economy by training individuals for a wider range of industries. A strong economy and a skilled workforce can contribute to a more stable and vibrant community.

If funded, this initiative will:
• Provide over 160 paid internships for community college students in the program

• Deepen curriculum alignment with industry needs
• Enhance career readiness programs and student support services • Expand outreach to first generation, underrepresented, and low-income students CONCLUSION:

Ratify letter of support that was submitted to IVC by their deadline of April 4, 2025.

BACKGROUND:

The City Council approved the FY 2024-25 citywide budget initially on June 27, 2024 and again on November 19, 2024 (Revised Budget). As the current fiscal year has progressed, certain changes to both revenues and expenditures become necessary to adjust budgets to what is ultimately likely to transpire by the end of the fiscal year. Recommended changes to the FY 2024-25 Revised Budget for selected funds are embedded in the attached schedules and will be discussed at a high level during the April 15, 2025 City Council Meeting.

Additionally, as a means to provide the City of El Centro with a preview of what is expected as the FY 2025-26 Operating Budget is prepared, staff and consultants will provide an overview of the following in a “Workshop” format designed to elicit feedback from the City Council:
• Updated forecasts for both the General Fund and Measure P Fund taking into account expected changes for the upcoming year;
• Potential budgetary policy changes and the resulting impact on both one-time and

ongoing funding availability;
• Preliminary new and re-classified positions as requested by citywide departments, and
• Preliminary capital outlay expenditures as requested by citywide departments.

DISCUSSION:

Updates to the previously adopted FY 2024-25 Revised Budget have been prepared for each of the City’s major operating funds - the General Fund; Measure P Fund; Water Enterprise Fund; and Wastewater Enterprise Fund. High-level updates to each of these funds are briefly discussed below and will form the basis for a presentation to the City Council during the February 15, 2025 City Council Meeting.

General Fund Budget
FY 2024-25 General Fund Mid-Year Budget:

Revenues Expenditures
FY 2024-25 Revised
Budget
$ 38,719,519 $ 38,569,246
FY 2024-25 Mid-Year
Budget
$ 40,970,366 $ 39,856,358
The FY 2024-25 General Fund Mid-Year Budget reflects revenues of $40,970,366 and expenditures of $39,856,358. The General Fund Mid-Year Budget is presented as a balanced budget with an anticipated surplus of $1,114,008 being generated by yearend. Specific revenue and expenditure impacts to the City’s General Fund Mid-Year Budget for FY 2024-25 are noted below.

FY 2024-25 updated revenue of $40,970,366 reflects an approximate $2.25 million increase from revenues anticipated with the adopted budget, primarily due to:
• Increases in property and related taxes consistent with collections to date (~ $300,000);
• Slightly higher anticipated collections of Sales Tax consistent with current sales tax forecasts (~ $240,000); and
• Higher collections of other revenues including School Resource Officer reimbursements, HIDTA reimbursements, fire strike team reimbursements, state grants and opioid funding (~ $1.5 million).

FY 2024-25 General Fund Mid-Year Budget expenditures of $39,856,358 reflects an approximate $1.3 million increase from expenditures anticipated with the adopted budget, primarily due to:
• An approximate $487,000 reduction in Personnel Services Costs related to the following:
o Reduction in departmental staff budgets for vacancy savings incurred to date, offset by;
o An increase in overtime paid by the Fire Department related to participation

in strike teams (note: the core overtime is reimbursed by the State as part of the Strike Team Reimbursement) (~ $450,000); and
o Higher temporary salary costs related to the Aquatic Park (~ $114,000). • An approximate $1.22 million reduction in the credit budgeted for salary savings due to the filling of positions throughout the year (note: this is a conservative assumption based on continued filling of positions).
• An approximate $200,000 increase in budget credit related to cost allocation transfers to City enterprise funds.
• An approximate $200,000 increase in budget credit related to cost allocation transfers to City enterprise funds.
o A $70,000 increase in general liability insurance based on actual expenses paid; o Higher professional fees related to the Courtyard Villas and Willow Bend Environmental Impact Reports (~ $67,000);
o Costs related to the State of the City event ($10,000); o Information Technology subscription costs ($25,000);
o Finance Department consulting costs (note: partially offset by salary savings) ($100,000);
o Upgrades to security systems and City Hall facility ($55,000); o Police professional fees related to backgrounds, CAD RMS and Lexipol; and purchase of 2 new Falcon Cameras ($96,000);
o Higher parks maintenance costs ($33,000);
o Higher Library costs related to other expenses including books and supplies ($35,000); and
o Other departmental increases in materials / supplies and operations costs. • An approximate $221,000 increase in capital expenditures related to:
o Bucklin Park Emergency Repairs (~ $100,000);
o Purchase of a backhoe / loader for Streets Maintenance ($66,000); and o Purchase of furniture and information technology equipment for multiple departments.
• An increase of approximately $205,000 in costs transferred out of the General Fund and into the Water and Sewer Funds consistent with the cost allocation methodology;
Taking into account the above, the recommended Mid-Year General Fund Budget is balanced. Total General Fund reserves are anticipated to be approximately $27.9 million at the end of FY 2024-25. This amount does not include funding set aside in a Section 115 Trust specifically for future CalPERS retirement costs. Including this amount, projected General Fund reserve levels as of June 30, 2025 are expected to include:
$ 3,892,006 Restricted Reserve for PARS Retirement Trust 27,941,237 Undesignated Reserves
$ 31,883,243 Total General Fund Reserves

Measure P Fund
FY 2024-25 Measure P Fund Mid-Year Budget:

Revenues Expenditures
FY 2024-25 Revised
Budget
$ 8,511,000 $ 22,335,092
FY 2024-25 Mid-Year
Budget
$ 8,511,000 $ 18,470,620
The Measure P Fund accounts for a 30-year ½-cent transaction and use tax (general purpose tax) approved by the electorate in 2017 that is used to support an array of City services including police, fire protection, library, parks and recreation, senior programs, and street maintenance and upgrades.

FY 2024-25 Measure P Fund revenues are not projected to change with the Mid-Year update. FY 2024-25 Measure P Fund expenditures are recommended to be approximately $3.86 million lower than those originally approved with the Revised Budget. Expenditure reductions are related to an over-budgeting of the capital expenditure for the Police Department building ($3 million originally budgeted in FY 2024-25 was actually allocated and spent in FY 2023-24); and Parks-related capital expenditures not anticipated by the end of the fiscal year (may be re-budgeted with the FY 2025-26 recommended budget).

It should be mentioned that the Measure P Fund continues to fund all Police and Fire nonpersonnel related costs (materials and supplies) totaling $2,128,020 for FY 2024-25 – this amount remains unchanged from the Revised Budget regardless of a recommended increase of $96,000 for these costs in the General Fund.

It is anticipated that the Measure P Fund will have $7,220,923 remaining in Fund Balance at the end of FY 2024-25.

Water Fund(s)
FY 2024-25 Water Fund Mid-Year Budget:

Revenues Expenditures
FY 2024-25 Revised
Budget
$ 9,365,000 $ 11,209,057
FY 2024-25 Mid-Year
Budget
$ 9,475,000 $ 11,153,513

FY 2024-25 Water Fund revenues are currently projected to be $110,000 higher than those originally budgeted primarily due to increased interest earnings and slightly higher other revenues. FY 2024-25 Water Fund expenditures are recommended to be approximately $56,000 lower than those originally budgeted due to:
• A $330,000 reduction in anticipated capital related to expenditures expected by the end of the fiscal year (note: funds appropriated for projects not completed will be rebudgeted to in FY 2025-26); offset by • A $200,000 increase in personnel costs related to allocations of staffing to the Water Enterprise Fun; and
• An $80,000 increase in Water Enterprise operating costs based on costs incurred to

date.

It is anticipated that the Water Fund(s) will have $26,849,692 in Fund Balance / Working Capital at the end of FY 2024-25. Amounts expected to be available on June 30, 2025 are noted below:
$ 2,608,609 Water Capacity Fees (Fund 511)
1,289,763 Rate Stabilization (Fund 513)
2,093,223 Restricted for Debt Service

FY 2024-25 Wastewater Fund revenues are currently projected to be $1.1 million higher than those originally budgeted primarily due to receipt of grant funds from the State related to Storm Damage Reimbursements offset by slightly lower interest earnings and other revenues. FY 2024-25 Wastewater Fund expenditures are recommended to be approximately $865,000 lower than those originally budgeted due to:
• An $886,000 reduction in anticipated capital related to expenditures expected by the end of the fiscal year (note: funds appropriated for projects not completed will be rebudgeted to in FY 2025-26); offset by • A $23,000 increase in Wastewater Enterprise operating costs based on costs incurred to date.

It is anticipated that the Wastewater Fund(s) will have $21,921,605 in Fund Balance / Working Capital at the end of FY 2024-25. Amounts expected to be available on June 30, 2025 are noted below:

City staff is currently in the process of preparing the Citywide Budget for Fiscal Year 2025-

26. Development of the budget is expected to include several noteworthy policy recommendations,

while also taking into account known one-time and ongoing expenditures that will impact next year’s and future budgets. The information noted below will form the foundation for a workshop discussion to facilitate any feedback and direction the City Council may have as staff prepare the recommended budget.

General Fund / Measure P Fund Multi-Year Forecast
As a means to gauge the future ability to provide a consistent level of citywide services and programs, a Multi-Year Forecast has been developed for the City’s General Fund and Measure P Fund – the funds where the vast majority of non-enterprise services are accounted for.

These forecasts have been developed to create a forward-looking, conservative baseline budgetary outlook for the City’s General Fund and Measure P Fund; and related fund balance under a given set of revenue and expenditure growth assumptions. The forecasts have been built as a “base-case” model in which future years only focus on ongoing revenues and expenditures; and known one-time fiscal activity (eliminates all other one-time revenues and expenditures).

The forecasts for the General Fund and Measure P Fund are meant to serve as only one tool to measure fiscal sustainability into the future. The models below incorporate known cost drivers, including any negotiated salary increases, CalPERS retirement cost increases, annual appropriation credits for salary savings and cost allocations, and a conservative increase in all other operating expenditures. The models also assume conservative growth in discretionary revenue sources, including property tax, sales tax, transient occupancy tax and other fees and charges. These models are developed to demonstrate the ability to sustain the existing levels of service provided citywide.

GENERAL FUND
As indicated in the model and as discussed in the budget update overview above, a surplus of $1,114,008 is anticipated in the General Fund Mid-Year Update budget for FY 2024-25. Future General Fund forecasts indicate small surpluses for the upcoming three years followed two years of minor deficits for FY 2028-29 and FY 2029-30. All years in the forecast have been updated with one-time and ongoing expectations based on the Mid-Year review. The most significant change to the forecast is related to the annual premiums charged to the City for General Liability and Property Insurance, with a

combined increase of approximately $475,000 (General Fund portion = $304,000) for the upcoming fiscsal year (FY 2025-26). Although each year in the forecast assumes growth factors for both revenues and expenditures, growth in core payroll is not assumed as there are currently no labor increases that have been negotiated for FY 2025-26 and beyond.

As shown in the graph below, total expenditures for CalPERS-related costs are anticipated to increase by $2.47 million over the next five years. By 2029-30, total CalPERS costs will represent approximately 22% of the entire expenditure base in the General Fund.

CalPERS costs are perhaps the most volatile component of the personnel-related costs in the General Fund Budget. It should be mentioned that CalPERS is currently in the process of performing an Actuarial Experience Study (typically prepared every four years) which reviews actual experience of the overall retirement system in relation to the current actuarial assumptions, and ultimately recommends changes in actuarial assumptions for the rates of decrement, salary increase rates and economic assumptions (investment returns, discount rate, inflation). In most cases, implementation of findings related to these Experience Studies has resulted in an increased amount added to the unfuded liability.

Forecast – General Fund Balance impacts:

As noted above, to the extent forecasted amounts of revenues and expenditures come to fruition under a given set of assumptions, General Fund Balance (reserves) will fluctuate between $27.9 and $28.2 million each year. These reserves noted above are exclusive of a $3.9 million restricted reserve for the PARS Retirement Trust, which may be used for any future CalPERS retirement cost. The unobligated reserve amount of approximately $27.9 million represents 70% of the General Fund expenditure base.

To the extent the City ultimately funds up to $6.5 million toward the El Centro Regional Medical Center (ECRMC) in accordance with the approved term sheet to transfer the net assets of ECRMC to IVHD, General Fund balance will be reduced by the same amount. Assuming $6.5 million is used towards this transaction, General Fund unobligated reserves will be lowered to $21.4 million, which represents 54% of the General Fund expenditure base as noted below.

During the upcoming fiscal year (FY 2025-26), it is expected that the City will complete the citywide comprehensive compensation survey currently underway. Implementation of the compensation survey at some level will likely help to mitigate potential impacts related to recruitment and retention. To the extent salaries are adjusted based on the compensation survey and / or labor negotiations to take place, ongoing labor costs in the General Fund (and in all funds with staff allocated to them) will increase. Each one-percent (1%) of salary increase to the aggregate General Fund will add approximately $187,000 to ongoing costs.

MEASURE P FUND
The Measure P Fund accounts for a 30-year ½-cent transaction and use tax (general purpose tax) approved by the electorate in 2017 that is used to support an array of City services including police, fire protection, library, parks and recreation, senior programs, and street maintenance and upgrades.

As shown in the long-term forecast for Measure P below, in addition to annual base budget set for Measure P (it is anticipated that approximately $1.8 - $2.6 million will be available annually for one-time costs (additional capital projects, other expenditures).

Expected impacts to Measure P Fund balances are noted below:

Operating Budget – Policy Considerations and Observations As the FY 2025-26 Operating Budget is being developed, staff has noted several areas where certain fiscal corrections and implementation of updated fiscal policy would be beneficial to the City as a whole. Opportunities and the resulting fiscal impacts of each alternative are noted below.

Elimination of “Unemployment” Internal Service Fund
The Unemployment Internal Service Fund (ISF) is currently funded on an annual basis by 8% of payroll costs charged to applicable funds citywide (essentially the General Fund, Water Fund and Wastewater Fund). Over the course of a fiscal year, approximately $1 million is funded into this fund. Costs incurred by the Unemployment ISF include a payment for retiree health costs (approximately $300,000 annually), actual unemployment costs as they are incurred (typically less than $100,000 annually) and payouts to terminating employees (varies). This fund is currently over-funded by $1.4 million.

As an alternative to automatically transferring $1.05 million in annual funding to the Unemployment ISF, staff recommends that actual amounts incurred for costs currently covered by the Unemployment ISF be charged (and absorbed budgetarily) directly to the funds in which they occur. Unemployment and leave balance payout costs would be charged to the department in which the former employee worked; and retiree health would be funded by the OPEB Health Benefit Trust. Making this change would result in $1 million being available to impacted funds ongoing ($839,000 in the General Fund) and approximately $1.4 million being made available on a one-time basis for prior year over-funding (discussed as another opportunity / alternative below).

Use PARS Section 115 Trust to Fund portion of CalPERS Unfunded Liability Costs The Public Agency Retirement Services (PARS) IRS Section 115 Trust funding is currently held as a restricted asset in the City’s General Fund (not considered in the Fund Balance graphs shown above). Consistent with Trust requirements, these funds may only be used for future CalPERS retirement costs incurred by the City. As of February 28, 2025, the City has $4.65 million in the PARS Trust.

Given that the General Fund portion of the CalPERS Unfunded Liability will increase by $685,000 in FY 2025-26, the City has an option of using the Section 115 Trust to mitigate the impact of the CalPERS cost increase on General Fund operations (i.e. having to come up with an additional $685,000 at the expense of reducing or eliminating another operating expenditure). Furthermore, as discussed earlier, the General Fund portion of the CalPERS Unfunded Liability cost is expected to grow by more than $2.2 million over the next five years.

As such, staff recommends the City program using PARS Trust Funds in the amount of $250,000 each year ($1.25 million over the next five years), freeing up ongoing funding in the General Fund for other uses.

Re-Distribute One-Time Overfunding from Internal Service Funds Over the course of several prior fiscal years, the City has overfunded several Internal Service Funds based on charge rate tables that have never been updated. These charge rate tables have essentially been based on a fixed percentage of payroll charged to funds that have staff allocated to them – mainly the General Fund; and Water & Wastewater Enterprise Funds. The Internal Services Funds that have been overfunded include the following:
• Worker’s Compensation - $3,750,000 (General Fund portion ~ $3,030,000) • Unemployment - $1,400,000 (General Fund portion ~ $1,131,000) • Health Benefits - $3,300,000 (General Fund portion ~ $2,666,000) • GASB 45 - $45,000 (General Fund portion ~ $45,000)
Based on the information noted above, up to $6,872,000 and $1,623,000 may be redistributed back to the General Fund and Enterprise Funds, respectively. The redistributed funds may be used on a onetime basis at any point in the future (i.e. for one-time capital requests or other needs) or can be added to the respective reserves of impacted funds at any point in the future. Staff recommends these overpaid funds be liquidated from the Internal Service Funds and paid back to funds that have been impacted by the overpayment.

Budgetary Policy Recommendations – Impact to Annual Forecasted Surplus / Deficit Taking into account the impacts of implementing the budgetary policy recommendations, annual forecasted General Fund surpluses / deficits would be updated as follows:

As shown above, forecasted General Fund surpluses are expected to be between approximately $832,000 and $1,256,000 annually starting in FY 2025-26. It should be noted that these amounts DO NOT include any salary increases that have not been negotiated, and do not include any potential fiscal impacts of implementing all or a portion of the Compensation Study currently underway. As previously noted, adding a one-percent (1%) increase for all positions citywide in the General Fund results in an ongoing expenditure increase of approximately $187,000.

Should the above forecasts come to fruition - including the impacts of the recent ECRMC term sheet and Internal Service Fund payback of overfunded amounts, General Fund Balance would be as follows:

Initial New Positions / Reclassifications Requests - FY 2025-26 This memorandum includes a table which shows the new positions and reclassified positions requested by all departments as part of the FY 2025-26 budget development. As the budget is prepared, these positions will be considered and discussed with management prior to bringing a formal recommendation to the City Council. Given the magnitude of the additional ongoing cost for these positions, it is unlikely that all requested positions will ultimately be recommended. A high-level overview of the requested positions will be discussed during the presentation to the City Council.

Total funding requirements for requested positions are outlined below:

General Fund – $ 1,928,082
Water Enterprise Fund – $ 181,931
Wastewater Enterprise Fund – $ 66,261
Initial Capital Outlay Requests – FY 2025-26
This memorandum also includes a table which shows capital outlay requested by all departments as part of the FY 2025-26 budget development. The FY 2025-26 Mid-Year update includes adjusted anticipated capital spending expected through the remainder of the fiscal year. To the extent any of the current year's capital / outlay appropriations remain unspent as of June 30, 2025, the remaining funds will likely carry over and be re-budgeted into FY 2025-26.

The Measure P Fund information provided only includes anticipated carryover of funding not used in FY 2024-25 to FY 2025-26. Measure P Fund capital expenditures will ultimately be updated and presented to the Ad Hoc Finance Committee, and separately presented once all information has been considered. Additionally, large-scale capital projects (infrastructure / buildings / bond-related / etc.) funded by all sources will be presented as the FY 2025-26 Budget continues to be prepared.

A high-level overview of the requested capital outlay will be discussed during the presentation to the City Council.

Total funding requirements for the requested capital outlay are outlined below:

General Fund – $ 2,133,417
Water Enterprise Fund – $ 1,548,844
Wastewater Enterprise Fund – $ 5,990,530
Total Motor Vehicle Internal Service Fund – $ 38,241
