ATTACHMENT 1
Lung Cancer Awareness Month
WHEREAS, lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death among men and women in the United States and California, accounting for more deaths than colon cancer, breast cancer, and prostate cancer combined; and
WHEREAS, lung cancer in individuals who never smoked is the 7th leading cause of cancer-related death and 60-70% of individuals diagnosed with lung cancer who never smoked are women, and the proportion of lung cancer diagnoses in people who never smoked is increasing in the US; and
WHEREAS, the best success against lung cancer is funding for research, early diagnosis, and treatment; however, widespread stigma is hindering awareness of, and research into, lung cancer risk factors other than smoking, and delaying people from seeking early diagnosis and treatment; and
WHEREAS, lung cancer research is leading to breakthroughs in the identification of genetic alterations associated with lung cancer and in the development of lung cancer treatments, including immunotherapies and targeted therapies; and
WHEREAS, the 5-year survival rate for localized lung cancer is approximately 60%, yet only about 24% of lung cancers are diagnosed at this stage; and WHEREAS, screening for lung cancer in high-risk individuals can lead to the earlier detection of lung cancer and save lives; and
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Mitchell D. McKay, Mayor of the City of Imperial Beach, California, together with the City Council, do hereby proclaim November 2025 as Lung Cancer Awareness Month in the City of Imperial Beach, and encourage all residents to learn about lung cancer and early detection through lung cancer screening.

ATTACHMENT 2
5 Truth provided individual comments on each candidate, noting strengths and concerns.
Overall, she expressed reservations about time availability, relevant experience, and specific policy priorities for several candidates. Her top choices for further consideration were Erika Lowery, Patrick Bilbray, John Becker, and Mariko Nakawatase.
Sandy Brillhart thanked the City Council for conducting an open and transparent selection process and expressed appreciation for all applicants. She encouraged selecting fresh leadership rather than former officeholders or previous candidates, and supported the same three candidates previously highlighted by Lynne Fischer.
David Nearing expressed that the presentations were informative. He noted Mr. Bilbray's prior experience and praised Ms. Nakawatase's presentation.
Brandon Ayala did not speak.

Donna Saunders endorsed John Becker.
Ignacio Martinez thanked all applicants for running and praised the open selection process.

Mary Hensley expressed support for John Becker, noting his life experience and ability to work well with others. She thanked all applicants and urged the City Council to make a selection promptly.
Leon Benham expressed support for Mariko Nakawatase, noting her 18-year history of accomplishments and current role with the County of San Diego. He highlighted her familiarity with government operations and recommended her as the next City Councilmember.

The Mayor and City Council were each given three minutes per applicant for follow-up questions. They then submitted their top two candidates to the City Clerk for tabulation.
Mayor McKay called a recess at 8:49 p.m. and called the meeting back to order at 8:54 p.m. with all Councilmembers present.

6 that the process is unique, meaningful, and reflective of the community’s dedication to Imperial Beach.
Councilmember Seabury expressed agreement with Councilmember Fisher's remarks, noting the impressive qualifications of all applicants and thanking them for their time and effort in completing the application process.
Mayor McKay thanked staff for their efforts in organizing the selection process. He asked the City Clerk to post the list of applicants moving forward, each having received at least one City Council selection.

Name Vote 1 Vote 2
Councilmember Leyba-Gonzalez Beatriz Blevins John Keating Councilmember Fisher Brian Bilbray Mariko Nakawatase
Mayor Pro Tem Seabury Brian Bilbray Mariko Nakawatase
Mayor McKay Brian Bilbray Mariko Nakawatase
VOTE TOTALS:
Brian Bilbray 3
Beatriz Blevins 1
John Keating 1
Mariko Nakawatase 3
Mayor McKay explained that four candidates are moving forward and outlined the options:
the Council could discuss and reach a consensus to make a selection now, or, if no consensus is reached, hold a second round of interviews in two weeks to help arrive at a final decision. He opened the floor for City Council feedback.
Councilmember Fisher suggested postponing the selection to the next meeting, recommending a structured process with a mix of prepared and impromptu questions to better evaluate candidates’ knowledge and ability to respond on the spot.
Council Member Leyba-Gonzalez noted that a candidate must receive three votes to be selected. He suggested simplifying the process by removing his two preferred candidates
ATTACHMENT 2
7 from further consideration, so that the next Council meeting could focus on deciding between the two remaining candidates.
Motion by Leyba-Gonzalez to modify the process so that the two top individuals receiving the three votes, are the only two individuals to move on.
City Attorney Lyon explained that the process is not defined by state law and is at the Council’s discretion. The Council may choose to make a second cut or appointment tonight or move all four finalists to the next meeting.
Motion failed due to a lack of a second.
City Council discussion ensued.
City Council discussed the next steps for selecting a new councilmember. Concern was raised that a second round of voting tonight could result in a tie and there was a preference to stay consistent with the previously approved process. The consensus was to move the second round of interviews to the October 1 meeting, allowing more preparation time.
The Council agreed the format will include two prepared questions developed by the Mayor and staff and provided to candidates in advance. During the meeting, each Councilmember will ask one live question per candidate, followed by public comment and Council discussion. Candidates will have five minutes to respond to prepared questions and three minutes for Council follow-up questions.
Motion by Mayor McKay
Seconded by Councilmember Fisher
To conduct a second round of interviews at the October 1 City Council meeting. The process will include two standardized questions prepared by the Mayor and staff, which will be provided to the candidates in advance. During the interviews, each Councilmember will also have the opportunity to ask one live question to each candidate. Following the interviews, each Councilmember will select one candidate, and the Council will then work toward reaching a consensus from that point on. Public comment period will occur after all candidates have completed their interviews and before Council discussion.

ITEM TITLE: RESOLUTION 2025-061 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:
Adopt Resolution No. 2025-061 to maintain a state of local emergency related to the cross-border pollution impacts from the Tijuana River and authorize the City Manager, Mayor, and Council members to work with local, State, Federal, and Mexican authorities to advance binational projects to improve conditions in the Tijuana River.
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
P a g e | 2
impact on the surrounding ecosystem, leading to poor water quality that can persist for days, months, or even years. Furthermore, 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.

ITEM TITLE: APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION NO. 2025-060 PURSUANT TO PUBLIC CONTRACTS CODE SECTION 22050 FINDING THE CONTINUED EXISTENCE OF AN EMERGENCY DUE TO THE FAILURE OF SEWER PUMPS AT PUMP STATION NO. 8. (0830- 35)
ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT:
Public Works
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Pump Station 8 (PS8) is a wet/dry well facility over 60 years old that has experienced ongoing pump issues in recent years. Staff has been working with Michael Baker International (MBI), the City’s engineering consultant, to develop plans and specifications for a comprehensive rehabilitation project that includes new pumps, plumbing, and electrical upgrades. The design is nearly complete and scheduled to go out to bid in the coming weeks.
PS8 contains three identical pumps, with two typically alternating workloads and the third serving as a standby for emergencies. Within the past two weeks, two pumps failed, and on Saturday, October 11, 2025, the final operating pump also failed. These pumps are obsolete, and no replacement parts or compatible pumps are available. As a result, the station is currently gravity bypassing to Pump Station 9 (PS9). Accelerating the PS8 project is critical to relieve excessive flows being redirected to PS9.
Public Contract Code Section 20168 provides that the City Council may pass by four-fifths (4/5) vote, a resolution declaring that the public interest and necessity demand the immediate expenditure of public money to safeguard life, health, or property. Upon adoption of such resolution, the City Manager may expend any sum required in the emergency and report the same to the City Council in accordance with Public Contract Code Section 22050. The Council approved the resolution on October 15, 2025. This report is to follow-up on actions taken and to request the extension of the emergency pursuant to State law.
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Resolution No. 2025-060 to continue the existence of the emergency and ratify actions taken in furtherance of the emergency.
OPTIONS:
Adopt Resolution No. 2025-060;
Provide other direction to the City Manager to take a specific action; or Request additional information and an additional report
P a g e | 2
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
The City of Imperial Beach operates and maintains eleven sanitary pump stations that collect and relay sanitary flows to varying locations in the City’s collection system for ultimate conveyance to the City of San Diego METRO system. The sanitary pump stations are of varying styles and include various types of pumps. Pump Station 8 (PS8), located at 895 Imperial Beach Blvd., adjacent to the Imperial Beach Fire Station, is one of two major pump stations (Pump Station 9 being the other) used by the City of Imperial Beach to convey collected sanitary flows directly to the METRO system (eventually entering the Point Loma Wastewater Treatment Plant for treatment) operated by the City of San Diego.
PS8 is a wet/dry well facility that is over 60 years old. It has had ongoing pump issues over the past few years. Staff has been working with Michael Baker International (MBI), the City’s engineering consultant, to put together plans and specifications for an overall rehabilitation project that includes new pumps, plumbing and electrical upgrades. The design is near completion and would be put out to bid in the next few weeks.
PS8 has three identical pumps. Workload is typically alternated between two of the three pumps.
The third pump is for emergency purposes only. Two of the pumps failed within the last two weeks.
Then on Saturday, October 11, 2025, the last remaining working pump failed. The three pumps at PS8 are obsolete and no parts or replacement pumps are available. The station is currently gravity bypassing to PS9. It is necessary to accelerate the completion of the PS8 project to alleviate the excessive flows going to PS9. In the event of a power loss or failure of the pumps at PS9, staff has an emergency generator and/or portable pumps that could be installed to keep the pump station operational.
Pump Station 8 Construction Project has an approved budget of $1,500,000 for FY26 in the current Biennial FY26 & FY27 City of Imperial Beach budget. Funds were appropriated from the Sewer Enterprise Fund.
As part of the design process, MBI assessed and identified Fairbanks Nijhuis pumps as the most adequate pumps for the station. There is currently a 6-week lead time on submittals and a 26- week lead time for pump production after approval. Flo-Systems, Inc. is the authorized Fairbanks Nijhuis vendor. The City has successfully purchased pumps from this vendor in the past. The quote for four new pumps, inclusive of a spare pump, is $280,618.50. A total of $300,000 should be allocated to account for any unforeseen changes during the submittal process.
As a result of the lengthy lead time required for pump production by the pump’s manufacturer, the pumps need to be contracted for immediately in order to obtain the pumps as soon as possible to mitigate any potential harm resulting from Pump Station 8’s failure. There is no time to wait and bid the whole project because the purchase of the pumps must occur immediately.
IBMC section 3.04.120A allows for competitive bidding to be dispensed with when the City Manager determines that an emergency requires an order to be placed with the nearest available source of supply in order to mitigate the threat to public health and safety.
The City Manager, acting pursuant IBMC section 3.04.120A, may determine the existence of a local emergency based on conditions of extreme peril to the safety of persons and property caused by the pump station failure.
Public Contract Code Section 20168 provides that the City Council may pass by four-fifths (4/5) vote, a resolution declaring that the public interest and necessity demand the immediate expenditure of public money to safeguard life, health, or property. Upon adoption of such resolution, the City Manager may expend any sum required in the emergency and report the same to the City Council in accordance with Public Contract Code Section 22050. Such resolution was
P a g e | 3
approved at the October 15, 2025 special Council meeting, and November 5, 2025 regular City Council meeting via Resolution 2025-057.
If such expenditure is ordered, the City Council shall review the emergency action at each regular meeting, to determine if there is a need to continue the action.
Pump Station 8’s failure constitutes an emergency within the terms of Public Contract Code Sections 20168 and 22050, which requires that the City Manager be able to act quickly and without complying with the notice and bidding procedures of the Public Contract Code to repair and protect such public facilities.
Since the last Council meeting on November 5, 2025, the City has taken the following actions:
City staff purchased and received a new spare 6-inch Grundfos submersible pump from Barrett Engineered Pumps in the amount of $26,753. A total of $32,000 was allocated from the Sewer Division’s operating budget to account for taxes, freight and necessary pump parts. City staff continues to work with Chula Vista Electric Co. for assistance with the electrical installation of the new pump through a time and materials contract. The new pump was installed on Tuesday, November 11, 2025. This new 6-inch pump replaced the interim 4-inch pump and is able to keep up with the flows going to PS8. There is no more flow bypassing to PS9.
Staff is looking at options to increase the lifespan of the installed 6-inch pump and will be working with Chula Vista Electric Co. to change the current hard start-up to a variable frequency drive or soft start-up.
Once the new 6-inch Fairbanks Nijhuis pumps get delivered and ultimately installed, the 6-inch Grundfos submersible pump will be stored as a spare that could be used for PS8 or other additional sewer pump stations.
Staff recommends Council approve Resolution 2025-060 to continue the emergency and ratify the expenditures and contracts made thus far in furtherance of the emergency.
