3 6. PUBLIC COMMENT
Edward Brakmanis recommended the creation of butterfly gardens, not just on City property, but also on school and private properties. He also spoke about having a butterfly festival to bring people to Imperial Beach.
Timothy Keeton suggested that Imperial Beach Municipal Code 2.12.150 - Group Communications be used tonight because he believed there is an identifiable group with an identifiable leader and members who are speaking on the same topic. He also said that the podium is not the place for public speakers to have one on one dialog with a councilmember.
Truth highlighted problems and concerns she has observed outside of Imperial Beach. She expressed concerns about ACCE's political influence and agenda that may impact unbiased, nonpartisan decision-making in Imperial Beach.
Leon Benham, President of the Citizens for Coastal Conservancy, presented photos showing that in 1966, the river had a single channel that brought 650,000 cubic yards of sand to the beach each year. However, this year, the photos show that 530 acres are now covered in sewage ponds, which is the source of the foul odor. He encouraged the City Council to use the upcoming federal funding to restore the river back to a single channel.

8. CONSENT CALENDAR
Truth commented on a misspelled word on page 56 of the agenda packet.
Leon Benham commented the increase in sewage discharge is unacceptable and is urging the repeal of SB 507 and a reconsideration of the EPA's actions in replacing the original Arcadis plan.
He also suggested there may be alternative technologies and solutions that should be investigated before moving forward with the current plan.
Regarding Item 8.h, Councilmember Seabury was skeptical about the value of the Mayor's trip to meet with the Biden administration given the timing and the lack of action from that administration in the past. She suggested the City focus its efforts on working with the new administration, rather than trying to get the outgoing one to act in the final weeks of their term.
Mayor Aguirre emphasized the need to continue pursuing all available avenues, even with the outgoing administration, as a final attempt before the new administration takes over.

11. REPORTS
11.a DISCUSSION OF REGULATIONS FOR TENANT PROTECTIONS. (0660-95) Mayor Aguirre introduced the item.
ATTACHMENT 1
7 City Manager Foltz gave a PowerPoint presentation on the item.
Written public comments were submitted by: Sandra Brillhart, Mark Williams, Gary Trieschman, Melanie Woods, and Pat Flowers.
Timothy Keeton commented that the staff report fails to show that there are hundreds of cities throughout the state that do not have additional measures.
Valerie Fernandez complained that due to no fault evictions, she will have to move. She spoke in support for preventing homelessness and protecting the affordable housing that currently exists.
Sheila Martinez expressed concern that the proposed regulations regarding tenant protections would unfairly burden property owners.
Ignacio Martinez said the proposed relocation requirements would impose a significant burden on small property owners, especially those with just a few rental units. He stressed that property owners face unseen difficulties and expenses, and urged tenants to understand that renting is a two-way relationship with challenges on both sides.
Rosie Perez shared her personal situation of having to move out of her apartment by January 31 due to new ownership and she spoke about the difficulty of finding affordable housing, with rent prices for apartments in the area being beyond her budget. She explained that the problem is not with small, family-owned properties, but with large corporations that own multiple apartments and neglect their tenants.
Truth criticized the Tenant Protection Act (AB 1482), arguing it discourages homeowners from renting, limits their rights, and could lead to government-imposed rent control. She said the law's provisions, such as extended time for tenants to move and rent caps, raise housing costs and reduce rental options. She also mentioned that local ordinances can worsen the situation, citing expensive evictions in cities like San Diego and Chula Vista.
She called for change by voting out lawmakers responsible for the state's housing issues.
Gilberto Vera, Deputy Director of the Legal Aid Society San Diego, shared his dual perspective as both a tenant advocate and the child of small landlords. He urged support for a ban on substantial remodel evictions and recommended passing a moratorium to protect tenants while stronger protections are developed.
Mary Dow complained about the stress involved with being evicted and she questioned when society will draw the line on corporate greed, highlighting the struggles of hardworking individuals just trying to get by.
Alberto Fernandez, resident of Hawaiian Gardens, spoke on behalf of tenants facing eviction due to extensive renovations or no-fault evictions. He emphasized that many residents are too afraid or unaware to speak out, and highlighted that housing is a basic human right, not a privilege. He expressed concern about the unaffordable rent increases and the difficulty in finding new, affordable housing.
ATTACHMENT 1
8 Joshua Lopez spoke about the lack of affordable housing options and the constant threat of eviction due to inadequate renter protections. He urged City Council to consider policies that protect renters and preserve community diversity.
Robert Lucas urged City Council to consider stronger laws to protect tenants from corporate landlords. He stressed that tenants want to stay in this community and called for action to preserve diversity and support renters.
Brenda Bautista spoke about the practices of private equity firms which are monopolizing real estate by rapidly buying properties, evicting tenants, and raising rent prices. She called for ethical decision-making to prevent monopolistic practices, stressing that while substantial remodel evictions are legal, they are not ethical.
Philip Del Rio expressed his frustration that landlords focus on numbers and profits, while tenants face real-life consequences like homelessness. He urged City Council to vote to support protections for renters.
Sherman Qualls spoke about facing eviction and expressed frustration with rising rents, especially considering the profits landlords have made over the years, and called for more support for tenants in difficult situations like his.
Eric Sutton, a property manager and member of the Southern California Rental Housing Association, spoke about recent updates to state law regarding substantial remodel evictions. He warned that adding more local regulations could discourage property revitalization. He suggested forming a stakeholder working group to ensure all voices are heard before implementing additional protections. He advocated for fair and balanced policies and proactive education for both tenants and landlords.
Gilbert Ivan Johnson urged City Council to address evictions in Imperial Beach and protect tenants, especially those on fixed incomes or disability, and who are at risk of losing their homes.
Cathy Iaconmetti, a real estate broker in Imperial Beach, opposed increasing tenant protections, arguing it could worsen the local housing market, which is already seeing a decline. She warned that additional regulations could discourage investment in affordable housing and harm property values, urging the City Council to consider the long-term effects before making changes.
George Ching, representing the Pacific Southwest Association of Realtors, expressed concerns about the need for maintenance and repairs in Imperial Beach's rental housing, which could be hindered by increasing costs and rent restrictions. He warned that this could force property owners to sell to larger corporations. He emphasized the need to prioritize affordable housing ownership.
Nicole Le, an organizer with ACCE, expressed concerns about the housing crisis in Imperial Beach, particularly the evictions occurring due to substantial remodels. She highlighted the poor living conditions, including mold, broken stoves, and non-working fridges, and mentioned that many tenants are being charged high water bills despite
ATTACHMENT 1
9 unresolved maintenance issues. She pointed out that many residents are afraid to speak up at City Council meetings due to fear of retaliation and eviction. She urged the City Council to consider the impact on tenants' livelihoods when making decisions.
Danie Loza spoke in support for laws that protect tenants.
Luis Guillen spoke in opposition to being evicted and asked for support to continue living at Hawaiian Gardens.
Rachel Orozco Ramirez urged City Council to provide protections for tenants.
Juan Nevarez criticized landlords for prioritizing profits over tenants' well-being. He urged the City Council to pass a non-renovation eviction law to protect the community.
Sandra Del Rio criticized the practices of her apartment owner for evicting residents for renovations, while raising rent significantly without any substantial improvements. She urged the City Council to implement stronger protections against such corporate practices to prevent homelessness in Imperial Beach.
Jose Lopez, Director of the San Diego office of ACCE, advocated for stronger tenant protections and expressed concern over tenants being evicted for remodeling. He urged the City Council to take action to protect the community, calling on their support to pass laws that will benefit residents and ensure they feel cared for.
Teri Monte encouraged City Council to consider adaptable solutions that work for the specific needs of the community.
John Monte said the real issue is corporate equity investment firms buying properties like Hawaiian Gardens and using "substantial remodel" loopholes to evict tenants and raise rents. He suggested a moratorium on evictions which would provide time for the City Council to review the situation and come up with the best solutions.
Mico Miranda expressed concern for her family, neighbors and community. She asked for help to remain in their homes and avoid being evicted again.
Miguel Lopez described how his rent has increased significantly, making it harder to afford living in Imperial Beach. He urged City Council to stop renovations that force families out of their homes.
Maria Diaz pleaded with City Council to help her and her neighbors stay in their homes.
She asked for new laws to protect them and to stop the evictions.
Sara Gonzalez-Quintero advocated for stopping no-fault evictions due to remodeling. She said that many residents are being forced out and urged City Council to invest in maintaining the community rather than allowing displacement.
Anthony Azul said tenants are not only facing evictions but also harassment through fees and other charges not listed in their original leases. He said these extra fees are allowing landlords to extract more money without officially raising rents.
ATTACHMENT 1
10 Judith, a landlord, said that tenants are harassing the landlords and that not all landlords are bad people.
Gustavo shared his frustration with being harassed and the challenges of maintaining his property. He expressed his desire for fairness and justice. He spoke about the high costs of home repairs and property taxes, compared to corporate landlords. He also spoke about a protest in front of his house, which terrified his family, and how the experience affected him emotionally, highlighting the impact on his kids and his own mental state as a veteran.
Councilmember Leyba-Gonzalez announced his support for the renters.
Mayor Pro Tem McKay acknowledged that there are existing state laws in place and mentioned that while there are concerns about shortcomings in these laws, these laws were made at the state level, not locally. He recommended individuals address these issues with state legislators rather than making changes at the local level.
Councilmember Fisher said that some of the challenges stem from large investment firms.
He suggested more community outreach and gathering of data to better understand the true issues. He stressed the importance of creating solutions that apply to the entire community, rather than targeting specific areas, and warned of unintended consequences.
Councilmember Seabury addressed concerns raised by residents, noting confusion around payments to the previous owner and the state of the property. While some residents claim there are issues like mold, others argue that the property doesn’t need remodeling. She emphasized the need for landlords to maintain safe and functional living conditions for residents' well-being. She also reiterated that the real responsibility lies with state lawmakers in Sacramento.
Mayor Aguirre noted that while state laws often restrict local action, there is a specific provision that allows cities to tailor laws to their communities. She mentioned a recent case that upheld local ordinances and suggested that Imperial Beach could take advantage of this flexibility to create fair and balanced regulations that address tenant and landlord issues. She expressed a desire to protect small, local landlords while also addressing broader community concerns that have emerged, particularly during and after COVID-19. She was open to forming an ad hoc committee to gather more input from the community, as some may not feel safe or able to speak up. She proposed pausing evictions temporarily to allow for more discussion. She emphasized the importance of focusing on larger multi-family housing buildings.
Mayor Pro Tem McKay expressed hesitation about focusing on larger buildings for regulation, as it could create an uneven focus, potentially putting certain property owners at a disadvantage based solely on the size of their buildings.
City Attorney Lyon suggested gathering City Council's ideas and staff will look into them.
She noted that the City has the ability to create local regulations, and there are jurisdictions with enforceable regulations that could serve as a model.
ATTACHMENT 1
11 Councilmember McKay supported forming an ad hoc but opposed a moratorium. He expressed concern that singling out certain sizes of ownership or corporations could lead to challenges and accusations of unfair treatment.
Councilmember Leyba-Gonzalez spoke in support of an ad hoc.
Councilmember Fisher expressed concern about the timeline for addressing tenant issues, fearing false hope for those facing eviction. He supported creating an ad hoc committee to gather information and to discuss potential actions. He criticized Sacramento for ineffective affordable housing policies and emphasized the need for real solutions.
Councilmember Seabury raised concerns about a potential eviction moratorium, questioning whether tenants would still be required to pay rent during a pause. She was also concerned with legal liability if tenants remain in unhealthy living conditions, like those with mold or asbestos. She commented that ACCE may be promoting fear among tenants and that instead they should focus on helping tenants find solutions and move forward.
Mayor Pro Tem McKay was concerned that if the moratorium is implemented now, it may create an unfair situation for those who have already moved, as they would not be able to benefit from it. He also expressed concern about City Council taking a delayed action.
City Manager Foltz stated if a moratorium is implemented, it would apply citywide based on the parameters set by the City Council. It wouldn't be specific to any individual building or current eviction cases. Also, the moratorium's scope and duration would depend on the standards the City Council decides.
Mayor Aguirre suggested staff gather lessons from cities like San Diego and Chula Vista, which have enacted similar ordinances, to understand what has worked and what hasn't.
She also stressed the need for community input, focusing on vulnerable populations like seniors and the disabled, and managing expectations to avoid creating false hope.
Consensus of City Council to form an ad hoc committee consisting of herself and Councilmember Fisher.

Mayor Aguirre declared the Public Hearing open.
Community Development Director Openshaw gave a PowerPoint presentation on the item.
A written public comment was submitted by Sandra Brillhart.
John Roche submitted a document that states two parking spaces are required for each unit. He suggested reducing the number of units to 25 or adding underground parking to meet the required number of parking spaces. He commented that the project is out of character for the neighborhood.
Frank Avilla expressed concern about the affordability of the units and that the new building does not fit with the existing neighborhood.
Susana Tejeda Usami indicated opposition to the project and was concerned about the lack of parking. (did not speak)
Councilmember Seabury suggested that extra parking spots be converted to handicapped spaces. She also raised questions about utility costs, asking whether solar panels would benefit residents or just the building itself. She also expressed concern about the adequacy of trash collection for such a large development, questioning whether more frequent pickups would be required. She also inquired as to where the bike repair station would be located.
Director Openshaw confirmed that solar panels are required by green building codes and are also a part of the City's climate action measures, though the distribution of utility bills would need to be clarified by the developer. Regarding trash pickup, the developer consulted with EDCO, and a forklift truck will be used for internal trash collection, though the frequency of pickups will need to be coordinated with EDCO. As for street parking, she noted the request to make it handicapped parking and mentioned that the developer would respond. Lastly, the bike repair station will be located inside the building, not in the park, and will allow residents to store and repair their bikes.
Aaron Anavim, applicant and owner, responded to questions of City Council regarding the solar panels, utilities, and street parking.
ATTACHMENT 1
13 Councilmember Leyba-Gonzalez expressed support for the project, highlighting the significance of having a dedicated park in District 4. He also acknowledged parking issues citywide, but emphasized his support for the project.
In response to Councilmember McKay's question about what the law allows with regard to parking, Director Openshaw stated there are two government code sections that apply to the project, specifically related to the density bonus law, which limits parking requirements to half a space per unit. Additionally, recent legislation prohibits local agencies from enforcing minimum parking requirements, meaning the project technically wouldn't be required to provide any parking.
Mayor Aguirre expressed excitement about District 4's first standalone park, highlighting its importance and potential benefits. She acknowledged the parking issues but emphasized the need for more housing to meet regional housing goals. She supported providing two parking spaces with a provision for loading/unloading during business hours.
She also suggested using native plants for landscaping, warning against toxic succulents like coral cactus, and recommended adjusting the park sign design to better resemble a surfboard rather than a triangle.

14 Councilmember Seabury expressed frustration with SANDAG's vehicle miles traveled (VMT) proposal, arguing that it doesn't consider the reality of Imperial Beach residents needing to commute outside the area for work. She also criticized the idea of promoting urban walking neighborhoods as unrealistic for this community. She suggested renaming 13th Street to Navy Boulevard, as it leads into the military base, which has been a longstanding part of the area.
Councilmember Fisher expressed support for receiving the $650,000 grant from SANDAG, acknowledging the stipulations but seeing it as a needed investment for the City. He emphasized that people still have the freedom to drive or walk as they wish and he appreciated the staff's efforts in securing the grant and highlighted the need for improvements on 13th Street.
Mayor Aguirre supported improving walkability and bikeability in the City, while enhancing sidewalks, crosswalks, and lighting. She advocated for revitalizing 13th Street and emphasized the need for meaningful outreach to local businesses to ensure their success and attract investment.
City Planner/Management Associate Ayala stated working with a consultant will help develop a plan for future projects aimed at securing funding. However, the availability of funding from state agencies or SANDAG is uncertain, and the goal is to create a document the City can utilize for future funding whenever it becomes available.
Motion by Mayor Aguirre
Seconded by Mayor Pro Tem McKay

ITEM TITLE: 2025 UPDATE ON THE COMMUNITY OUTREACH PROGRAM. (0240-10) ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT:
Community Development
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
City staff currently conducts outreach efforts throughout the community to best understand and address the unsheltered community in Imperial Beach. This report is intended to provide an update on the overall outreach efforts, as well as provide some statistics and highlight successes over the past year.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council receive and file the report.
OPTIONS:
The City Council can also:
Request additional information and an additional report; or Provide direction to the City Manager.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
History and Overview of the Community Outreach Program
Imperial Beach is a small city close in proximity to its larger neighboring cities of San Diego, National City, and Chula, with various methods of travel throughout these cities including walkable paths, sidewalks, roadways, bus lines, and the trolley. Considering its location regional context, Imperial Beach has a low number of unsheltered individuals per capita for the South Bay area.
Imperial Beach has a population of just over 26,000 people by comparison to approximately 273,000 in Chula Vista and slightly more than 54,000 for National City. During the 2023 United States Department of Housing and Urban Development Point-In-Time Count (PIT), Imperial Beach counted 19 people. The 2024 PIT resulted in a 5.3% increase, to 20 individuals. The 2025 PIT was held in the early hours of January 30, 2025, and while the finalized numbers for the PIT will not be available until May 2025, there is no anticipation of growth in the overall number, and possibly even a reduction.
During the 2024 PIT, Chula Vista had 503 individuals (later that year they self-reported 780 individuals in their privately held “CV Count”) and National City had 174 individuals. National City has just over twice the population of Imperial Beach but greater than eight times the homeless population.
P a g e | 2
Chula Vista has 10 times the population of Imperial Beach but 25 times the homeless population
Imperial Beach is a built-out community with a lack of space to accommodate services that are often utilized by the unsheltered population, such as shelter space, rehabilitation clinics, hospitals, Department of Motor Vehicles, Family Resource Centers, or other similar resources. Therefore, the Imperial Beach community outreach program relies on establishing, nurturing, and maintaining relationships with service providers outside of the City to help clientele on their journey back to being housed.
The primary method of outreach for the unsheltered is making personal contact in the field, known as “Street Outreach.” It is the first step in connecting with the unsheltered community to help them move forward toward finding permanent housing. The Imperial Beach team goes to the individuals, using a by-name list, meets the individuals where they are, builds trust, works together, develops an individualized plan for each person, and then helps them connect with and utilize the resources they need to find permanent housing.
In August 2021, a Housing Specialist in the Community Development Department coordinated efforts with multiple city departments to conduct individual-focused contact throughout the community. In November of 2023, the Department was able to secure grant funding from the Regional Task Force on Homelessness to hire a Community Outreach Worker intended to build a systematic approach to addressing homeless issues within the City by creating and working from a by-name list of clients, utilizing motivational interviewing, following a trauma informed care approach, and collaborating with a multidisciplinary care team from various agencies to support and connect clients with the appropriate services. In 2024, the Department obtained grant funding to purchase a vehicle dedicated to the program.
The outreach team has been able to establish a mailing address that individuals can use to receive their mail and paperwork in efforts to get them document ready for housing opportunities.
When feasible, the Imperial Beach program facilitates transportation, bus passes, identification vouchers, entry into the Coordinated Entry System (a network to assist individuals and families resolve their housing crises), and provision of sundry needs that are purchased with grant funds.
Most importantly, the program helps individuals to focus on their strengths and develop individualized plans to help them move towards permanent housing. When the client is ready, the outreach program uses its strong connections to partner agencies to connect individuals with the appropriate services at the right time to make that journey realistic and possible.
In addition to focused contact efforts, the City provides regular outreach on Thursday mornings, which is when all regional partners and their services are made available to clients. The skillset and breadth of services available to the weekly street outreach team has grown, and the capability and services provided now include members from the various agencies on any given week:
Human Service Specialists from the County of San Diego Social Workers from the County of San Diego
Nurses from the County of San Diego
Case workers from PATH (People Assisting the Homeless) Community Liaisons from Acadia Healthcare CTC (Comprehensive Treatment Centers) Outreach specialists from Veteran’s Village of San Diego Senior specialists at Molina Healthcare
Outreach teams from MTS (Metropolitan Transit System) Outreach specialists from McAlister Institute
HUD-VASH clinicians from U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs NAMI San Diego staff members
P a g e | 3
US Fish and Wildlife Rangers
Port of San Diego personnel
Salvation Army intake counselors
San Diego Rescue Mission outreach director
Imperial Beach Community Park Rangers
San Diego Sheriff Deputies
Additionally, the team is in constant contact with other city outreach providers in National City, Chula Vista, and La Mesa, and more, working together and brainstorming over individual cases.
Most recently, the Imperial Beach program has established a strong relationship with the San Diego Rescue Mission’s South County Lighthouse. This is a 162-bed facility in National City which serves men, women and families. It is a referral-only, low barrier shelter providing safe sleeping, hot meals, clothing, access to showers, laundry, necessities and wrap-around services. 2024 to Current Accomplishments
Prior to the Community Outreach Worker joining the City, the outreach team placed six individuals in permanent housing over the course of 18 months. In 2024 to current, the efforts of the full-time Community Outreach Worker has helped more than 14 individuals be placed into permanent housing, long-term programs, veterans’ programs, rehabilitation programs - resulting in successful ongoing sober living arrangements, and more. Fourteen individuals represent more than half of Imperial Beach’s last official point in time count. The regular field contacts by the Housing Division, inclusive of the Housing Manager and Community Outreach Worker, and assistance from other supporting City staff, Sheriff Department, and regional partners, have helped reduce the numbers of unsheltered individuals in Imperial Beach by helping them progress toward housing solutions.
Results from the addition of the Community Outreach Worker to the City program:
Three (3) individuals to permanent housing
One (1) individual reunited with family and housed
One (1) individual in Alpha Project long term program Two (2) individuals at the San Diego Rescue Mission Academy Two (2) individuals in the Salvation Army Program
Two (2) individuals completing long-term rehabilitation programs and moved into sober living
Two (2) individuals at the lighthouse shelter anticipating entry into housing One (1) individual at Veterans Village of San Diego
Future Projects
Imperial Beach is in discussions with a neighboring city to make available additional shelter beds and anticipates this partnership to come to fruition this calendar year.
