ITEM TITLE: RESOLUTION 2025-018 CONTINUING THE PROCLAMATION OF A STATE OF

LOCAL EMERGENCY RELATING TO IMPACTS FROM CROSS-BORDER POLLUTION IN THE TIJUANA RIVER. (0150-40 & 0210-26)
ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT:

Environmental & Natural Resources
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

This resolution maintains the City's declaration of a local state of emergency caused by the effects of cross-border pollution originating from the Tijuana River, including both treated and untreated wastewater. Due to contaminated flows in the river, the stretch of Imperial Beach shoreline between the southern end of Seacoast Drive and the border remains severely impacted, with closures lasting all of 2025 to date, 365 days in 2024, 365 days in 2023, 365 days in 2022, 246 days in 2021, 295 days in 2020, 245 days in 2019, and 101 days in 2018. The persistent impacts of these flows continue to affect the Tijuana River Valley, Estuary, beach water quality, and present an emerging threat to air quality that is currently being monitored and studied by the County Air Pollution Control District and Scripps Institute of Oceanography.

The City requires a local state of emergency to enable it to respond to the unpredictable conditions in the Tijuana River, which pose risks to the health, safety, and welfare of Imperial Beach residents, visitors, and the environment. Unless a continuing resolution is passed, declarations of a state of local emergency will expire within 60 days.

RECOMMENDATION:

OPTIONS:
 Adopt Resolution and recommendation from staff;
 Reject Resolution; or
 Request additional information and an additional report BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:

The presence of cross-border pollution in the Tijuana River, combined with the lack of action from federal and state agencies to address this issue, constitutes compelling evidence for the declaration of a local state of emergency within the City. The pollution in the river poses a serious threat to the health and safety of citizens and wildlife in the City of Imperial Beach, with particularly acute effects during and after rain events or illegal discharge events. This pollution has a severe impact on the surrounding ecosystem, leading to poor water quality that can persist for days,

months, or even years. Furthermore, the pollution has a significant impact on recreational activities along the Imperial Beach shoreline, with beach closures causing disruption to residents and visitors alike.

Given these circumstances, the City of Imperial Beach along with the City of Chula Vista, City of Coronado, City of San Diego, County of San Diego, Port of San Diego, South Bay Union School District, Sweetwater Union High School District of San Diego County have issued a state of local emergency resolution for the Tijuana River, which allows for flexible responses to changing conditions. The City Council has the authority to issue a local state of emergency, which would last for 60 days or until the next regularly scheduled City Council meeting unless renewed by a continuing resolution. This declaration would enable the City to take swift and effective action to protect the health, safety, and welfare of all those affected by the pollution in the Tijuana River.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:

Not a project as defined by CEQA.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF IMPERIAL BEACH, CALIFORNIA,

CONTINUING THE PROCLAMATION OF A STATE OF LOCAL EMERGENCY RELATING TO

IMPACTS FROM CROSS-BORDER POLLUTION IN THE TIJUANA RIVER WHEREAS, Government Code Section 8630 and Imperial Beach Municipal Code (IBMC) Section 2.52.060 empower the City Manager, acting as the Director of Emergency Services, to request that the City Council proclaim the existence of a local emergency when the City is affected by a public calamity; and
WHEREAS, the City Manager, as Director of Emergency Services of the City of Imperial Beach, does hereby find that continued conditions of extreme peril to safety of persons, property, and environment have arisen within said City, caused by persistent impacts from cross-border pollution in the Tijuana River; and
WHEREAS, the persistent impact of cross-border flows of treated and untreated wastewater in the Tijuana River, excessive discharge of sediment into the Tijuana Estuary during storm events, and the continued impact of trash and waste tires in the Tijuana River Valley maintains a condition of extreme peril in the City; and WHEREAS, transboundary flow events in the Tijuana River impacts water quality along the Imperial Beach shoreline and result in significant beach closure days at Border Field State Park, which include 101 days in 2018; 243 days in 2019; 295 days in 2020, 246 days in 2021, 365 days in 2022, 365 days in 2023, 365 days in 2024, and all of 2025; and WHEREAS, transboundary flows of pollution include untreated sewage, trash, sediment, hazardous chemicals, heavy metals, and toxins continue to impact the Tijuana River, Estuary, coastal waters of the Pacific Ocean, and tributary canyons including Stewart’s Drain, Canon del Sol, Silva Drain, Smuggler’s Gulch, Goat Canyon, and Yogurt Canyon; and WHEREAS, the presence of pollution is creating unsafe conditions for residents and visitors who live, work, or recreate in the Tijuana River Valley and may come in contact with contaminated water; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 8558(c) of the California Government Code, the pollution in the Tijuana River is beyond the control of the services, personnel, equipment and facilities of the City of Imperial Beach; and
WHEREAS, pollutants in the Tijuana River are causing contamination of the Tijuana River Valley, Tijuana Estuary, and the water and beaches of the City of Imperial Beach threatening the health, safety, and welfare of the citizens of Imperial Beach as well as visitors to our beaches; and
WHEREAS, the flow of the contaminants and untreated wastewater continues to escalate due to inadequate wastewater infrastructure in the city of Tijuana and lack of sufficient operation and maintenance of existing infrastructure; and
WHEREAS, this flow is the acknowledged responsibility of the federal governments of the United States and Mexico; and

Page 33 of 82 ends

Resolution No. 2025-018

Page 2 of 3 ends

ITEM TITLE: SECOND READING AND ADOPTION OF ORDINANCE 2025-1254 AMENDING TITLE 2 OF THE IMPERIAL BEACH MUNICIPAL CODE TO DISSOLVE THE PARKS AND

RECREATION COMMITTEE AND ADDING ATTENDANCE PROCEDURES FOR VARIOUS CITY COMMISSIONS, BOARDS, AND COMMITTEES. (0120-80)
ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT:

City Manager
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The proposed ordinance would dissolve the City’s Parks and Recreation Committee that was formed in 2014 when the City did not have a Parks and Recreation Department. The ordinance would also add attendance procedures to the Imperial Beach Municipal Code for City Commissions, Boards and Committees.

RECOMMENDATION:

Conduct the second reading and adopt Ordinance No. 2025-1254 by title only by waiving the full reading.

OPTIONS:
 Adopt the ordinance;
 Do not adopt the ordinance; or
 Provide further direction to City Staff.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:

The City Council has created various commissions, boards, and committees to allow volunteer citizen participation in City issues. In 2014, the City Council approved Ordinance 2014-1145 to create the Parks and Recreation Committee. The creation in 2014 was in part due to the fact that the City dissolved the City’s internal Parks and Recreation Department. Therefore, in 2014, the City needed the volunteer Committee to assist with the creation and promotion of parks and recreation programs for all ages. Now, the City has created its own Parks and Recreation Department so that there are full-time and part-time City employees working on this important service for the City. As such, many of the duties and responsibilities intended for the Parks and Recreation Committee are fulfilled by dedicated staff. Parks and Recreation items are researched, developed, and presented to the City Council by City employees who conduct outreach as part of their program development process. The attached ordinance would dissolve the Parks and Recreation Committee.

The City recognizes the importance of regular outreach and engagement with the community to ensure that parks, recreation, and community services continue to meet the needs and interests of residents. To strengthen this connection, the City intends to establish a formal avenue for

Page 36 of 82 ends

P a g e | 2
community input at least once a year. This effort will provide residents with an opportunity to share feedback, voice concerns, and contribute ideas that help shape the programs, services, and facilities that enhance our community’s quality of life.

Additionally, over the years, the issue of attendance at meetings of City Commissions, Boards and Committees has come up. The attached ordinance proposes language to allow for excused absences and unexcused absences at meetings of City Commissions, Boards and Committees along with a procedure to allow the City Council to declare a vacancy when there have been excessive unexcused absences of the members.

The first reading and introduction of Ordinance No. 2025-1254 took place at the regularly scheduled City Council meeting of April 2, 2025.

4 § 2.32.040. Duties and responsibilities.

The Parks and Recreation Committee shall meet on a quarterly basis and will act in a purely advisory capacity to the City Council. The stated and primary function of the Committee is to expand and enhance the recreational opportunities for the residents of Imperial Beach.

The City Council anticipates that members appointed to the City’s boards, commissions, and committees will make every reasonable effort to attend all regular meetings, to attend special meetings, and to be prepared to discuss matters on their respective agendas.

B. Any board, committee, or commission member who is absent from three consecutive, regular meetings will be deemed to have vacated their membership on the particular board, committee, or commission, unless the absence is excused by a majority vote of the other members on the particular board, committee, or commission, as reflected in the official minutes of the board, committee, or commission and ratified by the City Council.

D. Members shall vote on excusing a member’s absence from a regular or special meeting. The vote shall be reflected in the official minutes for the meeting at which the vote was taken. A member may vote to excuse their own absence. If a member’s absence is excused by a vote of the members, the excused absence shall be submitted to the City Council on its consent agenda for ratification.

ITEM TITLE: RESOLUTION NUMBER 2025-017 AUTHORIZING AN APPLICATION FOR SANDAG’S SMART GROWTH INCENTIVE PROGRAM (SGIP) FOR THE CLIMATE ACTION PLAN UPDATE. (0140-40 & 0230-15)
ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT:

Community Development
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

Resolution No. 2025-017 authorizes the City Manager to apply for a Smart Growth Incentive Program (SGIP) grant thought the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG). This funding, supported by the TransNet Extension Ordinance, aims to promote walking, biking, and transit use through compact, mixed-use development near public transit, ultimately reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving public health. The City proposes to request $150,000 to update the Imperial Beach Climate Action Plan (CAP). The CAP update would involve a current GHG emissions inventory, the development of new reduction strategies, and community engagement to ensure local relevance and effectiveness. Approval of this resolution would enable the City to pursue critical funding for this vital planning effort.

RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt Resolution No. 2025-017 to authorize the City Manager or designee to submit a grant application for Smart Growth Incentive Program through SANDAG.

OPTIONS:
 Request additional information and an additional report.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:

The TransNet Extension Ordinance provides funding for the grant program to support local jurisdictions’ efforts to increase walking, biking, and transit usage throughout the region.

The goals of the SGIP are to encourage comprehensive public infrastructure projects and planning activities that facilitate compact, mixed-use development focused near public transit, and that aim to increase housing and transportation choices, reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHG), and improve public health.

The City of Imperial Beach is committed to proactive climate action and seeks funding through SANDAG's Smart Growth Incentive Program (SGIP) to undertake a comprehensive update to its existing Climate Action Plan (CAP). This update is crucial for maintaining a current and effective strategy to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and align with regional and state climate goals.

Page 44 of 82 ends

P a g e | 2
This CAP update would employ a data-driven approach grounded in the latest scientific understanding and recognized protocols, ensuring the resulting plan is robust, actionable, and effectively guides the City toward achieving its climate objectives.

The CAP Update would involve several key components:
 Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions Inventory and Baseline Year: Including an inventory update and establishment of a new baseline year. This recent baseline would provide an accurate reflection of current conditions for measuring future progress  GHG Emissions Forecasts: Forecasting future "business-as-usual" emissions based on local growth projections, including key local drivers such as population growth and time horizons
 GHG Reduction Targets: Establishing or reaffirming quantifiable GHG reduction targets for 2030 and 2045, aligning with California's goals
 GHG Reduction Measures: Developing specific, measurable, and actionable GHG reduction measures
 CAP Implementation, Monitoring, and Updates: Creating a framework for ongoing monitoring and evaluation of the CAP's implementation and effectiveness ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:

 Adopt resolution with modifications; or
 Proceed with discussion, take no action, and provide direction to the City Manager BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:

Addressing pollution in the Tijuana River Valley remains one of the most pressing and complex environmental and public health challenges facing south San Diego County. Despite decades of advocacy and binational agreements, the issue continues to suffer from a lack of sustained political prioritization and emergency response at both the state and federal levels.

Imperial Beach and surrounding communities have endured more than a century of transboundary pollution from the Tijuana River, with over 100 billion gallons of contaminated water—including untreated or partially treated sewage, industrial waste, and urban runoff— flowing into U.S. territory since December 2021 alone. This crisis is the result of chronic underinvestment in wastewater infrastructure, rapid and unregulated urban growth in Tijuana, and

repeated failures by both the United States and Mexico to meet their obligations under existing treaties and agreements.

The City of Imperial Beach has previously declared a local state of emergency, along with its neighboring jurisdictions—the cities of Coronado, Chula Vista, San Diego, the Port of San Diego, and the County of San Diego. In addition, the Mayor, City Council Members, and City staff have remained actively engaged with state, federal, and binational partners to advocate for urgent action and long-term solutions.

At the request of Councilmember McKay, the attached resolution is intended to reaffirm the City’s leadership and outline additional shared priorities for addressing the Tijuana River pollution crisis.

It calls for enhanced federal accountability, strategic funding partnerships, and legislative options to consider protecting the health and environment of impacted communities. Supporting actings in the proposed resolution include:
 Urge the United States Congress and its representatives to adopt legislation that strengthens enforcement of international water and environmental treaty obligations and holds Mexico accountable for failing to control transboundary pollution in the Tijuana River.  Accelerate the implementation by the International Boundary and Water Commission (IBWC) of the design and construction of the Tijuana River Diversion project to capture and treat transboundary flows in the river.
 Accelerate the implementation by IBWC of a permanent trash capture system for the main Tijuana River channel.
 Encourage the federal government to strategically partner and leverage $200 million in U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) funds and up to $50 million in California Proposition 4 Climate Bond funds to fast-track the Tijuana River Diversion project and support cleanup and restoration of the flood control channel.
 Strongly oppose the construction of a 50 million-gallon-per-day (MGD) desalination plant in Playas de Rosarito as part of Mexico’s National Water Plan unless and until Mexico completes the wastewater recycling projects identified in IBWC Treaty Minute 328 and demonstrates sufficient capacity and funding to provide wastewater treatment for any new potable water deliveries.
 Actively engage with Senator Steve Padilla on Senate Bill 10 – the Otay Mesa East Toll Facility Act – to ensure toll revenues are dedicated to environmental mitigation and restoration in the Tijuana River Valley and not diverted to cover federal obligations for wastewater treatment at the International Treatment Plant.  Direct SANDAG to continue to advocate for potential funding sources from the Mexican share of the toll revenues to offset the detrimental impacts of the transportation, trade and population nexus being created at Otay Mesa East Port of Entry.  Request that the Congress of the United States of America and its representatives consider passing statutory enforcement requirements to:
o Allow federal regulation/restriction on the export of potable water into the City of Tijuana, Mexico during any health-related threat(s) declared by the County of San Diego (DEH). Such restrictions could also include limited crossing activity at US ports of entry during the aforementioned declared health threats; and o Include federal authorization to temporarily divert and/or restrict the Tijuana River

and its tributaries as necessary including the Tijuana River mouth located in the City of Imperial Beach.
 Until such time that Federal legislation can be passed and fully implemented, request President Donald J. Trump consider initiating an Executive Order requiring such near-term actions with enforcement, as necessary, by all Federal Entities and departments, including but not limited to: Department of State, EPA, and the Department of the Navy.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF IMPERIAL BEACH, CALIFORNIA,

PRIORITIZING ENHANCED FEDERAL AND STATE ACTIONS TO MITIGATE THE ONGOING

HEALTH AND ECONOMIC IMPACTS FROM THE CROSS BORDER POLLUTION CRISIS IN

THE TIJUANA RIVER VALLEY
WHEREAS, the City of Imperial Beach, Coronado and neighboring communities within southern San Diego County have endured decades of transboundary pollution from Mexico, including the continuous discharge of over 150 billion gallons of untreated or partially treated sewage, industrial waste, and urban runoff since October 2018 – leading to sustained beach closures and significant public health and environmental impacts; and WHEREAS, the primary cause of pollution in the Tijuana River is from the lack of adequate wastewater infrastructure and treatment capacity, compounded by rapid and unplanned population growth in the Tijuana metropolitan region that is driven by substantial economic activity and cross-border commerce centered around multiple regional ports along the US-Mexican border – which together have overwhelmed existing systems and resulted in chronic transboundary sewage spills into the Tijuana River. Additionally, the annual exportation over 488 billion gallons (1.5 million acre feet) of fresh water to Mexico under treaty is continuing to contribute toward accelerated population growth in the Tijuana metropolitan region; and WHEREAS, the 1944 United States–Mexico Water Treaty established the International Boundary and Water Commission (IBWC) to manage shared water resources and boundary sanitation issues, and the 1983 La Paz Agreement further committed both nations to prevent and control pollution in the border region; and
WHEREAS, a series of subsequent IBWC treaty minutes—Minute 270 (1985), Minute 283 (1990), Minute 311 (2008), Minute 320 (2015), and Minute 328 (2022) – were specifically written to address the chronic transboundary pollution of the Tijuana River, calling for binational cooperation, the construction and expansion of wastewater infrastructure, emergency response protocols to prevent transboundary pollution, and long-term investment plans to mitigate untreated sewage, industrial waste, and stormwater runoff impacting communities in southern San Diego County – but unfortunately these binational commitments continue to fall far short of satisfactorily preventing the Transboundary pollution crisis in the Tijuana River; and WHEREAS, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Border Water Infrastructure Program (BWIP) plays a critical role in addressing transboundary pollution by funding the planning, design, and construction of high-priority water and wastewater infrastructure projects along the U.S. - Mexico border including multiple binational projects for IBWC Treaty Minute 328; and
WHEREAS, continued and expanded federal investment in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency BWIP protects public health and environmental quality in U.S. border communities and can serve as a key diplomatic tool to incentivize matching investments by the Government of Mexico in critical infrastructure improvements on its side of the border; and WHEREAS, the effective coordination between the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the IBWC is essential for advancing binational water and wastewater infrastructure projects, ensuring on-going compliance with international treaty obligations, and holding the Government of Mexico accountable for its role in addressing and preventing transboundary pollution impacting U.S. communities; and

Resolution No. 2025-020

Page 2 of 4 ends

WHEREAS, approximately 90% of Tijuana’s imported water originates from the Colorado River, underscoring the city’s dependence on U.S. water exports under the 1944 United StatesMexico Water Treaty, which also highlights the shared responsibility of the IBWC to manage both fresh water supply and resulting sanitation issues from these water deliveries. Additionally, over 90% of the retuned volume of the cross-border effluent impacting the South San Diego communities is directly tied to these water deliveries. Furthermore, wastewater reclamation/reuse and river diversion are necessary components of any long-term regional solution in the decadeslong, impacted 1,800 sq. mile watershed; and WHEREAS, Baja California’s continued reliance on imported US water and recent urgent need for local water import sources has led Mexico’s President Sheinbaum and Baja Governor Pilar to publicly support the construction of a 50 MGD desalination plant in Playas de Rosarito as part of Mexico’s National Water Plan; and
WHEREAS, IBWC Minute 328 already identifies wastewater reuse and recycling projects in Tijuana as a priority strategy to reduce transboundary pollution, with specific investments proposed to capture and treat effluent before it reaches the Tijuana River; and WHEREAS, implementing these water recycling projects would address pollution at its source and help provide more immediate and cost-effective benefits for both countries compared to desalination, which does not directly reduce sewage discharges or resolve the existing treatment capacity limitations affecting the Tijuana metropolitan border region; and WHEREAS, recent health surveys conducted by the US Federal Center for Disease Control Center (CDC) have verified the impact of airborne pathogens and toxic gases (i.e., Hydrogen Sulfide, etc.) effecting large portions of the South County including Imperial Beach, Chula Vista, Nestor, and San Ysidro. San Diego APCD is currently distributing up to 10,000 Air Purifiers along with applicable filters to affected residents in the 91932, 92154 and 92173 ZIP Codes. The long-term cost and impacts on the future mental and physical health of these regional residents are yet to be fully understood or mitigated; and WHEREAS, despite longstanding commitments under the 1944 U.S. – Mexico Water Treaty and subsequent IBWC minutes - reinforced at the 1985 U.S. – Mexico Summit in Mexico City to preclude and prevent transboundary pollution - Mexico has repeatedly failed to meet its obligations, resulting in ongoing and escalating cross-border discharges of untreated and partially treated effluent/wastewater into the United States via the Tijuana River; and WHEREAS, in response to Mexico's persistent noncompliance with the 1944 Water Treaty and related IBWC agreements, the U.S. Congress possesses the rightful authority to hold foreign governments accountable - exemplified by 2024 legislation introduced by Senator Ted Cruz, which proposed imposing sanctions and withholding foreign aid to Mexico for on-going treaty violations; and
WHEREAS, the recent restoration (2024) of the 18 MGD San Antonio de los Buenos sewage treatment facility (Punta Bandera) in Mexico which had originally missed multiple deadlines for going online and being fully operational, the US Federal government must consider appropriate and impactful actions to ensure on-going compliance, operation and maintenance be carried out at this specific facility; and WHEREAS, the only conditions that have been broken more frequently than the sanitation infrastructure in the Tijuana watershed are the myriad of promises made by the Federal and State

Resolution No. 2025-020

Page 3 of 4 ends

governments of the United States and Mexico to permanently address this egregious environmental crisis; and
WHEREAS, the 2024 Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) authorizes the U.S.

Army Corps of Engineers to invest up to $200 million for projects aimed at addressing flood control, sediment management, and water quality improvements in the Tijuana River Valley— marking a historic federal commitment to reducing transboundary pollution, protecting public health, and enhancing environmental resilience in affected adjacent border communities; and WHEREAS, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the IBWC have committed significant funding to repair and upgrade the International Treatment Plant, including a $300 million allocation from the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) in 2020, $159 million allocated in FY 2024 budget (projected $78M in FY25) for IBWC construction projects for mitigation of sewage pollution in Southern California, and an additional $250 million secured through the Continuing Appropriations and Disaster Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2025; and
WHEREAS, California voters approved Proposition 4, a Climate Bond in November 2024, authorizing $10 billion in bonds for climate resilience projects, including a dedicated allocation of $50 million for cross-border rivers and coastal waters, specifically targeting pollution mitigation efforts in the Tijuana and New Rivers; and
WHEREAS, additional significant funding and smart strategic investments are needed by local, state and federal agencies to fully control transboundary pollution, maintain wastewater infrastructure, and cleanup and restore damage caused in the Tijuana River Valley; and WHEREAS, this ongoing sewage flow is the acknowledged responsibility of the federal governments of BOTH the United States and Mexico and that this problem is beyond the capacity of any local City, municipality or even the State of California to mitigate and control.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Imperial Beach to support the following actions to further address the on-going transboundary pollution crisis in the Tijuana River as follows:

1. A separate local state of emergency already exists for the City of Imperial and adjacent communities (City of Coronado, City of Chula Vista, the Port of San Diego, City of San Diego, and County of San Diego).

2. The City Manager, Mayor, and Council members are authorized to work with local, State, Federal, and Mexican authorities and to explore any and all options to improve conditions in the Tijuana River.

3. We urge the United States Congress and its representatives to immediately consider adopting legislation that strengthens enforcement of international water and environmental treaty obligations that will hold Mexico accountable for failing to control transboundary pollution in the Tijuana River.

4. We request to accelerate the implementation for IBWC on the design and construction of the Tijuana River Diversion project to capture and treat transboundary flows in the river.

5. We request to accelerate the implementation for IBWC on the design and construction of a permanent trash capture system for the main river channel.

6. We encourage the federal government to strategically partner and leverage $200 million in ACOE funds and up to $50 million of California Climate Bond funds to accelerate the implementation of the Tijuana River Diversion project and the clean-up

and restoration of the flood control channel.

7. We strongly oppose the construction of a 50 MGD desalination plant in Playas de Rosarito as part of Mexico’s National Water Plan unless Mexico specifically agrees to implement the existing recycled water projects already identified in IBWC Treaty Minute 328. Furthermore, Mexico needs to demonstrate they have the capacity and funding to provide wastewater treatment for any new potable water deliveries into the region.

8. We continue with active engagement with California Senator Steve Padilla on Senate Bill 10 – the Otay Mesa East Toll Facility Act - to ensure that toll revenues are dedicated for the environmental mitigation and restoration in the Tijuana River Valley and not used to offset Federal government obligations for wastewater treatment at the International Treatment Plant.

9. We direct SANDAG to continue to advocate for potential funding sources from the Mexican share of the toll revenues to offset the detrimental impacts of the transportation, trade and population nexus being created at Otay Mesa East Port of Entry.

10. Furthermore, the City Council requests on April 16, 2025 that the Congress of the United States of America and its representatives consider passing statutory enforcement requirements to:
a. Allow federal regulation/restriction on the export of potable water into the City of Tijuana, Mexico during any health-related threat(s) declared by the County of San Diego (DEH). Such restrictions could also include limited crossing activity at US ports of entry during the aforementioned declared health threats; and
b. Include federal authorization to temporarily divert and/or restrict the Tijuana River and its tributaries as necessary including the Tijuana River mouth located in the City of Imperial Beach.

11. Until such time that Federal legislation can be passed and fully implemented, we request President Donald J. Trump consider initiating an Executive Order requiring such near-term actions with enforcement, as necessary, by all Federal entities and departments, including but not limited to the: Department of State, EPA, and the Department of the Navy.

ITEM TITLE: RESOLUTION 2025-019 SELECTING 1300 BLOCK ELM AVENUE AS THE CITY OF IMPERIAL BEACH’S 20A PROJECT AND ALLOCATING ALL 20A WORK CREDITS FROM SDGE IN THE AMOUNT OF $2,197,966 TO THE PROJECT. (0810-20) ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT:

Public Works
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

Adoption of Resolution 2025-019 will approve the selection of 1300 Block Elm Avenue as the City’s 20A project and allocate all 20A work credits from SDGE in the amount of $2,197,966 to the Project. The Rule 20A is a program under the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) that facilitates the undergrounding of overhead utility lines, such as electric and telecommunication lines, in areas served by utilities like San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E). This initiative aims to enhance public safety, improve aesthetics, and bolster system reliability.

RECOMMENDATION:

OPTIONS:
 Adopt Resolution No. 2025-019 selecting the 1300 Block of Elm Avenue as the City’s 20A project and allocate all 20A work credits from SDG&E in the amount of $2,197,966 to the Project.
 The City Council could select an alternate 20A project and provide funding necessary to cover any shortfall.
 The City Council could elect to not proceed with any projects or provide alternate direction.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:

The Rule 20A is a program under the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) that facilitates the undergrounding of overhead utility lines, such as electric and telecommunication lines, in areas served by utilities like SDGE. This initiative aims to enhance public safety, improve aesthetics, and bolster system reliability.

In 2016, the City Council adopted Resolutions 2016-7669, 2016-7670, and 2016-7671 establishing underground utility districts in the 1300 block of Donax Avenue, the 1300 block of Elm Avenue, and the 900-1000 blocks of Fern Avenue respectively. At the time of the creation of the districts, the staff report noted that due to the limited 20A funding the City of Imperial Beach receives annually, it was unlikely that funding for all three Underground Utility Districts proposed

Page 72 of 82 ends

P a g e | 2
would be available for many years. SDG&E’s Rule 20A Status and Summary letter (Attachment 2) states that the City’s Rule 20A work credits in the amount of $2,197,966 are set to expire if they are not designated to an “Active” project. In order to meet the requirements of an “Active” project, the City must designate a project and allocate sufficient funds necessary to complete the project through a resolution adopted by the City Council. Based on the City’s current undergrounding districts and Rule 20A balance, the only viable project staff has identified is the 1300 Block of Elm Avenue Project, which SDG&E estimates has a cost of $1,889,263. Both the 1300 Block of Donax Avenue Project ($5,735,570) and 900-1000 Block of Fern Avenue Project ($3,905,934) have cost estimates in excess of the City’s Rule 20A fund balance. In order to select either the 1300 Block of Donax Avenue Project or 900-1000 Block of Fern Avenue Project, the City would be required to allocate additional non-20A funding necessary to meet any shortfall.

To secure Rule 20A work credits, staff has prepared a Resolution (Attachment 1) selecting the 1300 Block of Elm Avenue Project and allocating the balance of the City’s 20A work credits. The Resolution includes a Boundary Map Exhibit detailing the boundary of the proposed Project.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:

Not a project as defined by CEQA.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There are no near-term fiscal impacts of selecting the 1300 Block of Elm Avenue Project and allocating the City’s 20A work credits towards the Project. SDG&E will prepare all the project drawings and perform construction using 20A funds.
