ITEM TITLE: APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION NO. 2026-064 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 worked 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 complete and the project went out for bid. Four bids were received on May 28, 2026. The Pump Station 8 Rehabilitation Project is proposed to be on the June 17, 2026 City Council meeting agenda to award a construction contract to the lowest responsive, responsible, qualified bidder.
PS8 contains three identical pumps, with two typically alternating workloads and the third serving as a standby for emergencies. In early October, two pumps failed, and on Saturday, October 11, 2025, the last remaining working pump failed. These pumps are obsolete, and no replacement parts or compatible pumps are available. As a result, the station was gravity bypassing to Pump Station 9 (PS9), which was putting excessive strain on that pump station. A few weeks later, staff was able to procure and install one (1) new pump at PS8 as an interim condition to avoid flows being redirected to PS9. Accelerating the PS8 project is critical to ensure the City has a reliable sewer system.
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 initial emergency 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. 2026-064 to continue the existence of the emergency and ratify actions taken in furtherance of the emergency.
OPTIONS:
Adopt Resolution No. 2026-064;
Provide other direction to the City Manager to take a specific action; or

Request additional information and an additional report 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 worked 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. A solicitation requesting bids was published on April 30, 2026, with bids due May 28, 2026. The City received four bids. The Pump Station 8 Rehabilitation Project is proposed to be on the June 17, 2026 City Council meeting agenda to award a construction contract to the lowest responsive, responsible, qualified bidder.
PS8 has three identical pumps. Workload is typically alternated between two of the three pumps.
The third pump is for emergency purposes only. In early October, two pumps failed, and on 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 was gravity bypassing to PS9, which was putting excessive strain on that pump station. A few weeks later, staff was able to procure and install one (1) new pump at PS8 as an interim condition to avoid flows being redirected to PS9. Accelerating the PS8 project is critical to ensure the City has a reliable sewer system. In the event of a power loss or failure of the pumps, staff has emergency generators and/or portable pumps that could be installed to keep the pump stations 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.
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 approved at the October 15, 2025, special Council meeting. Between November 2025 and June 2026, the City Council held meetings on several dates to pass resolutions extending the ongoing emergency. The meetings included:

Each listed date corresponds to a meeting when an extension resolution was passed.
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 June 3, 2026, there has not been any new work performed at PS8.
Staff recommends Council approve Resolution No. 2026-064 to continue the emergency and ratify the expenditures and contracts made thus far in furtherance of the emergency.

ITEM TITLE: RESOLUTION NO. 2026-065 AWARDING A PUBLIC WORKS CONTRACT FOR THE SEWER PUMP STATION 8 REHABILITATION PROJECT (W26101). (0830-35) ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT:
Public Works
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Resolution No. 2026-065 awards a construction contract for the Sewer Pump Station 8 Rehabilitation project in the City of Imperial Beach for $928,890 to Jennette Company, Inc. (JCI).
JCI was the lowest responsive, responsible, qualified bidder. The total project appropriated allocation is $1,500,000.
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Resolution No. 2026-065 awarding a construction contract to Jennette Company, Inc. for the Sewer Pump Station 8 Rehabilitation project for $928,890, and authorize the City Manager or designee to execute changes to the contract for a not-to-exceed amount of $111,110 for unforeseen construction changes.
OPTIONS:
Adopt the attached resolution awarding a construction contract to the lowest responsive, responsible, qualified bidder, Jennette Company, Inc. for $928,890, and authorize the City Manager or designee to execute changes to the contract for a not-to-exceed amount of $111,110 for unforeseen construction changes; or
Do not approve resolution and provide direction to the City Manager.
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 Boulevard, adjacent to the Imperial Beach Fire Station, is one of two major pump stations (Pump Station 9 [PS9] being the other) used by the City of Imperial Beach to convey collected sanitary flows directly to the METRO system operated by the City of San Diego (eventually entering the Point Loma Wastewater Treatment Plant for treatment).
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 worked 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 to ensure this critical pump station works properly for many more years to come.
P a g e | 2
PS8 has three identical pumps. Workload is typically alternated between two of the three pumps.
The third pump is for emergency purposes only. In early October 2025, while the project was in the design phase, two pumps failed. Then on October 11, 2025, the last remaining working pump failed. The three pumps at PS8 were obsolete and no parts or replacement pumps were available.
The station was gravity bypassing to PS9, which was putting excessive strain on that pump station.
As part of the design process, MBI assessed and identified Fairbanks Nijhuis pumps as the most adequate pumps for the station. As a result of the lengthy lead time required for pump production by the pump’s manufacturer, the new pumps needed to be contracted for immediately.
The Sewer Pump Station 8 Rehabilitation project has an approved budget of $1,500,000 in the current Biennial FY26 & FY27 City of Imperial Beach budget. Funds were appropriated from the Sewer Enterprise Fund.
On October 15, 2025, the City Manager, acting pursuant IBMC section 3.04.120.A, determined 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. That same day staff received an appropriation of $300,000 from the Sewer Pump Station 8 Rehabilitation project to purchase four new pumps from Flo-Systems, Inc., an authorized Fairbanks Nijhuis vendor. One of the four pumps would be kept as a spare pump. The pumps are currently in production and are scheduled to be shipped in early September of this year. Staff also received an appropriation of $35,000 to obtain Bid Support and Pump Procurement Services from MBI.
A few weeks later, staff was able to procure and install one (1) new pump at PS8 as an interim condition to avoid flows being redirected to PS9. Accelerating the PS8 project is critical to ensure the City has a reliable sewer system.
Staff advertised for requests for bids (RFB) for this work on April 30, 2026 in the Eagle & Times Newspaper and on BidNet. The bid opening was scheduled for Thursday, May 28, 2026.
Four bids were received before the bid deadline. The project bids were opened and evaluated Thursday, May 28, 2026 in an advertised public meeting at 2:00 p.m. It was stated in the bid documents that the contract award would be based on the total of the Base Bid and Additive Bid.
The lowest responsive, responsible, qualified bidder for the Sewer Pump Station 8 Rehabilitation project (W26101) was Jennette Company, Inc. at a Base Bid price of $859,090 and an Additive Bid Price of $69,800 for a total bid of $928,890.
The four (4) contractors who submitted proposals are listed below along with the grand total of the Base Bid and Additive Bid amounts:
1. Jennette Company, Inc. $ 928,890
2. Tharsos, Inc. $1,292,980
3. HPS Mechanical, Inc. $1,456,000
4. SCW Contracting $1,522,922
The engineer’s estimate for the construction contract for this project was $1,200,000.

ITEM TITLE: RESOLUTION 2026-068 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 2026 to date, 365 days in 2025, 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. 2026-068 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.

Finance
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The California State Treasurer recommends that Local Agency Investment Guidelines be reviewed and amended annually for compliance will all governing laws and regulations. Staff is seeking approval and adoption of Resolution No. 2026-066 by the City Council and SA-26-102 by the Successor Agency, authorizing the amendments to the City of Imperial Beach Investment Policy. Additionally, pursuant to California Government Code Section 53607, Staff is seeking approval to delegate to the City Treasurer the authority to invest and reinvest the City’s financial assets.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve and adopt Resolution No. 2026-066 by the City Council and SA-26-102 by the Successor Agency authorizing the amendments to the City of Imperial Beach Investment Policy and delegating to the City Treasurer the authority to invest and reinvest the City’s financial assets.
OPTIONS:
Adopt Resolution No. 2026-066 and SA-26-102 as recommended Provide staff with direction for alternative action
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
The Investment Policy (Policy) and Government Code section 53646(a)(2) require that the Policy be reviewed annually by the City Council/Board. Any recommended modifications or amendments are to be presented by staff to the City Council/Board at a public meeting for consideration and adoption.
The Policy was last reviewed by the City Council in February 2026. At that time, several modifications were made to bring the Policy into alignment with best industry practices. In addition, modifications were made in accordance with feedback received through the California Municipal Treasurers Association’s (CMTA) certification program. These modifications served to strengthen and clarify the City’s Investment Policy. During that review, the City Council also directed staff to evaluate the existing fossil fuel investment restriction and return at a future meeting with proposed revisions to the Investment Policy for consideration.
At the June 3, 2026, City Council meeting, staff presented a draft revised Investment Policy for Council consideration. Following discussion, the City Council provided direction to remove
P a g e | 2
Section XI of the existing Investment Policy in its entirety, eliminating the existing fossil fuel investment restriction to permit access to a broader range of eligible investments, potentially improving diversification, liquidity, and yield opportunities while continuing to adhere to the safety and prudence requirements established by state law and the City's Investment Policy. The City Council also directed staff to return at a subsequent meeting with a revised Investment Policy reflecting these changes for formal consideration and adoption. Following adoption of the proposed Policy, staff would resubmit the Investment Policy to CMTA for certification.
Working with Chandler Asset Management, the City’s portfolio manager, and incorporating bestpractice recommendations from CMTA, staff is proposing the following changes to the Investment Policy to the Investment Policy:
Section XI – Fossil Fuels Restriction
o Removed language restricting the purchase of securities issued by fossil fuel companies
o Renumbering of remaining sections of the policy
Attachment 3 reflects the changes in a strike-through version of the policy. Attachment 4 is the final version.
The City Council may elect to delegate its authority to invest and reinvest City funds to the City Treasurer for up to one year pursuant to California Government Code Section 53607. Staff recommends that the City Council delegate its authority to invest and reinvest public funds, and to sell or exchange securities so purchased, to the City Treasurer for one year or until revoked by the City Council.

INVESTMENT POLICY
Calendar Year 2026
I. INTRODUCTION
This Investment Policy is intended to identify various policies and procedures that will foster a prudent and systematic investment program designed to seek the City of Imperial Beach’s objectives of safety, liquidity and yield through a diversified investment portfolio. This policy also serves to organize and formalize the City’s investment-related activities, while complying with all applicable statutes governing the investment of public funds.
This Investment Policy was endorsed and adopted by the City’s governing body and is effective as of February 4, 2026. This Investment Policy replaces any previous Investment Policy or Investment Procedures of the City.
II. SCOPE
This Investment Policy applies to all the City’s financial assets and investment activities with the following exceptions:
Proceeds of debt issuance shall be invested in accordance with the City’s general investment philosophy as set forth in this policy; however, such proceeds are invested in accordance with permitted investment provisions of their specific bond indentures.
Pooling of Funds: Except for cash in certain restricted and special funds, the City will consolidate cash and reserve balances from all funds to maximize investment earnings and to increase efficiencies with regard to investment pricing, safekeeping and administration. Investment income will be allocated to the various funds based on their respective participation and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Specific Investment Accounts: From time to time, the City Council may authorize an investment in other specific investments, or the management of bond proceeds issued by the City of Imperial Beach. This may include deposits that are set aside for future needs of a long-term nature and may be invested in longer-term securities as allowed by the Government Code.
Inter-fund transfers are not covered by this policy.
Amended and Adopted by Resolution No. 2026-015 066 & SA-265-1020
III. PRUDENCE
Pursuant to California Government Code, Section 53600.3, all persons authorized to make investment decisions on behalf of the City are trustees and therefore fiduciaries subject to the Prudent Investor Standard:
“…all governing bodies of local agencies or persons authorized to make investment decisions on behalf of those local agencies investing public funds pursuant to this chapter are trustees and therefore fiduciaries subject to the prudent investor standard. When investing, reinvesting, purchasing, acquiring, exchanging, selling, or managing public funds, a trustee shall act with care, skill, prudence, and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing, including, but not limited to, the general economic conditions and the anticipated needs of the Agency, that a prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiar with those matters would use in the conduct of funds of a like character and with like aims, to safeguard the principal and maintain the liquidity needs of the Agency. Within the limitations of this section and considering individual investments as part of an overall strategy, investments may be acquired as authorized by law.” The Finance Director, Chief Administrative Officer and other authorized persons responsible for managing City funds acting in accordance with written procedures and this investment policy and exercising due diligence shall be relieved of personal responsibility for an individual security’s credit risk or market price changes provided that the Finance Director, Chief Administrative Officer or other authorized persons acted in good faith. Deviations from expectations of a security’s credit or market risk should be reported to the governing body in a timely fashion and appropriate action should be taken to control adverse developments.
IV. OBJECTIVES
The authority governing investments for municipal governments is set forth in Government Code sections 53600 et seq. The overriding objectives of the investment program in order of importance are to preserve principal, provide sufficient liquidity, and manage investment risks.
1. Safety: Safety of principal is the foremost objective of the investment program. Investments will be undertaken in a manner that seeks to ensure the preservation of capital in the overall portfolio. The objective will be to mitigate credit risk and interest rate risk.
2. Liquidity: The investment portfolio will remain sufficiently liquid to meet all operating requirements that may be reasonably anticipated.
Amended and Adopted by Resolution No. 2026-015 066 & SA-265-1020
3. Yield: The investment portfolio will be designed with the objective of attaining a market rate of return throughout budgetary and economic cycles, taking into account the investment risk constraints for safety and liquidity needs.

Ethics and Conflicts of Interest: Officers and employees involved in the investment process shall refrain from personal business activity that conflicts with proper execution of the investment program or impair their ability to make impartial investment decisions.

Diversification and Mitigating Credit Risk in the Portfolio Credit risk is the risk that a security or a portfolio will lose some or all of its value due to a real or perceived change in the ability of the issuer to repay its debt.

1. The diversification requirements included in Section VIII are designed to mitigate credit risk in the portfolio;

4. If securities owned by the City are downgraded to a level below the quality required by this Investment Policy, making the security ineligible for additional purchases, the following steps will be taken:
Amended and Adopted by Resolution No. 2026-015 066 & SA-265-1020
a. Any actions taken related to the downgrade by the investment manager will be communicated to the Finance Director or Chief Administrative Officer in a timely manner.
b. If a decision is made to retain a downgraded security in the portfolio, the credit situation will be monitored and reported monthly to the governing board.
C. Mitigating Market Risk in the Portfolio
Market risk is the risk that the portfolio value will fluctuate due to changes in the general level of interest rates. The City recognizes that, over time, longer-term portfolios have the potential to achieve higher returns. On the other hand, longer-term portfolios have higher volatility of return. The City will mitigate market risk by providing adequate liquidity for short-term cash needs, and by making longer-term investments only with funds that are not needed for current cashflow purposes.
The City further recognizes that certain types of securities, including variable rate securities, securities with principal paydowns prior to maturity, and securities with embedded options, will affect the market risk profile of the portfolio differently in different interest rate environments. The City, therefore, adopts the following strategies to control and mitigate its exposure to market risk:
1. The City will maintain a minimum of six months of budgeted operating expenditures in short term investments to provide sufficient liquidity for expected disbursements;
2. The stated final maturity of individual securities in the portfolio will be five years, except as otherwise stated in this policy;
3. The maximum weighted average stated final maturity of the total portfolio shall not exceed three years; and,
4. The duration of the portfolio will at all times be approximately equal to the duration (typically plus or minus 20%) of a Market Benchmark Index selected by the City based on the City’s investment objectives, constraints and risk tolerances. The City’s current Benchmark will be documented by the City.
XI. FOSSIL FUELS RESTRICTION
The purchase of securities issued by fossil fuel companies that directly source the majority of their revenue from oil, gas and/or coal production is prohibited.
Amended and Adopted by Resolution No. 2026-015 066 & SA-265-1020
XII.XI. INVESTMENT POOLS/MUTUAL FUNDS
The City shall conduct a thorough investigation of any pool or mutual fund prior to making an investment, and on a continual basis thereafter. The Finance Director or Chief Administrative Officer shall develop a questionnaire which will answer the following general questions:
A description of eligible investment securities, and a written statement of investment policy and objectives.
A description of interest calculations and how it is distributed, and how gains and losses are treated.
A description of how the securities are safeguarded (including the settlement processes), and how often the securities are priced and the program audited.
A description of who may invest in the program, how often, what size deposit and withdrawal are allowed.
A schedule for receiving statements and portfolio listings. Are reserves, retained earnings, etc. utilized by the pool/fund? A fee schedule, and when and how is it assessed.
Is the pool/fund eligible for bond proceeds and/or will it accept such proceeds?
XIII.XII. INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES (PERFORMANCE STANDARDS AND
EVALUATION)
A. Overall Objective: The investment portfolio will be designed with the overall objective of obtaining a total rate of return throughout economic cycles, commensurate with investment risk constraints and cash flow needs.

Broker. A broker brings buyers and sellers together for a transaction for which the broker receives a commission. A broker does not sell securities from their own position.
Callable. A callable security gives the issuer the option to call it from the investor prior to its maturity. The main cause of a call is a decline in interest rates. If interest rates decline since an issuer issues security, it will likely call its current securities and reissue them at a lower rate of interest. Callable securities have reinvestment risk as the investor may receive its principal back when interest rates are lower than when the investment was initially made.
Certificate of Deposit (CD). A time deposit with a specific maturity evidenced by a certificate. Large denomination CDs may be marketable.

Commercial Paper. The short-term unsecured debt of corporations.
Cost Yield. The annual income from an investment divided by the purchase cost.
Because it does not give effect to premiums and discounts which may have been included in the purchase cost, it is an incomplete measure of return.

Credit Risk. The risk that principal and/or interest on an investment will not be paid in a timely manner due to changes in the condition of the issuer.
Current Yield. The annual income from an investment divided by the current market value. Since the mathematical calculation relies on the current market value rather than the investor’s cost, current yield is unrelated to the actual return the investor will earn if the security is held to maturity.

Debenture. A bond secured only by the general credit of the issuer.
Delivery vs. Payment (DVP). A securities industry procedure whereby payment for a security must be made at the time the security is delivered to the purchaser’s agent.

For most large, institutional investors, the costs associated with investing in mutual funds are higher than the investor can obtain through an individually managed portfolio.
Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organization (NRSRO): Credit rating agencies provide assessments of an investment’s risk. The issuers of investments, especially debt securities, pay credit rating agencies to provide them with ratings. The three most prominent NRSROs are Moody’s, S&P and Fitch.

Realized Yield. The change in value of the portfolio due to interest received and interest earned and realized gains and losses. It does not give effect to changes in market value on securities, which have not been sold from the portfolio.
Repurchase Agreement (RP, Repo). Short-term purchases of securities with a simultaneous agreement to sell the securities back at a higher price. From the seller’s point of view, the same transaction is a reverse repurchase agreement.
Safekeeping. A service to bank customers whereby securities are held by the bank in the customer’s name.
Structured Note. A complex, fixed income instrument, which pays interest, based on a formula tied to other interest rates, commodities or indices. Examples include inverse floating rate notes which have coupons that increase when other interest rates are falling, and which fall when other interest rates are rising, and "dual index floaters," which pay interest based on the relationship between two other interest rates - for example, the yield on the ten-year Treasury note minus the Libor rate.

Treasury Bills. All securities issued with initial maturities of one year or less are issued as discounted instruments and are called Treasury bills. The Treasury currently issues three- and six-month Tbills at regular weekly auctions. It also issues “cash management” bills as needed to smooth out cash flows.
Treasury Notes. All securities issued with initial maturities of two to ten years are called Treasury notes and pay interest semi-annually.
Amended and Adopted by Resolution No. 2026-015 066 & SA-265-1020

INVESTMENT POLICY
Calendar Year 2026
I. INTRODUCTION
This Investment Policy is intended to identify various policies and procedures that will foster a prudent and systematic investment program designed to seek the City of Imperial Beach’s objectives of safety, liquidity and yield through a diversified investment portfolio. This policy also serves to organize and formalize the City’s investment-related activities, while complying with all applicable statutes governing the investment of public funds.
This Investment Policy was endorsed and adopted by the City’s governing body and is effective as of February 4, 2026. This Investment Policy replaces any previous Investment Policy or Investment Procedures of the City.
II. SCOPE
This Investment Policy applies to all the City’s financial assets and investment activities with the following exceptions:
Proceeds of debt issuance shall be invested in accordance with the City’s general investment philosophy as set forth in this policy; however, such proceeds are invested in accordance with permitted investment provisions of their specific bond indentures.
Pooling of Funds: Except for cash in certain restricted and special funds, the City will consolidate cash and reserve balances from all funds to maximize investment earnings and to increase efficiencies with regard to investment pricing, safekeeping and administration. Investment income will be allocated to the various funds based on their respective participation and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Specific Investment Accounts: From time to time, the City Council may authorize an investment in other specific investments, or the management of bond proceeds issued by the City of Imperial Beach. This may include deposits that are set aside for future needs of a long-term nature and may be invested in longer-term securities as allowed by the Government Code.
Inter-fund transfers are not covered by this policy.

Pursuant to California Government Code, Section 53600.3, all persons authorized to make investment decisions on behalf of the City are trustees and therefore fiduciaries subject to the Prudent Investor Standard:
“…all governing bodies of local agencies or persons authorized to make investment decisions on behalf of those local agencies investing public funds pursuant to this chapter are trustees and therefore fiduciaries subject to the prudent investor standard. When investing, reinvesting, purchasing, acquiring, exchanging, selling, or managing public funds, a trustee shall act with care, skill, prudence, and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing, including, but not limited to, the general economic conditions and the anticipated needs of the Agency, that a prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiar with those matters would use in the conduct of funds of a like character and with like aims, to safeguard the principal and maintain the liquidity needs of the Agency. Within the limitations of this section and considering individual investments as part of an overall strategy, investments may be acquired as authorized by law.” The Finance Director, Chief Administrative Officer and other authorized persons responsible for managing City funds acting in accordance with written procedures and this investment policy and exercising due diligence shall be relieved of personal responsibility for an individual security’s credit risk or market price changes provided that the Finance Director, Chief Administrative Officer or other authorized persons acted in good faith. Deviations from expectations of a security’s credit or market risk should be reported to the governing body in a timely fashion and appropriate action should be taken to control adverse developments.
IV. OBJECTIVES

Amended and Adopted by Resolution No. 2026-066 & SA-26-102 Page 14
3. Investment in any security that could result in a zero-interest accrual if held to maturity is prohibited.

7. The purchase of foreign currency denominated securities is prohibited.
8. The purchase of a security with a forward settlement exceeding 45 days from the time of the investment is prohibited.
B. Diversification and Mitigating Credit Risk in the Portfolio Credit risk is the risk that a security or a portfolio will lose some or all of its value due to a real or perceived change in the ability of the issuer to repay its debt. The City will mitigate credit risk by adopting the following strategies:
1. The diversification requirements included in Section VIII are designed to mitigate credit risk in the portfolio;
2. No more than 5% of the total portfolio may be invested in securities of any single issuer, other than the US Government, its agencies and enterprises, supranationals, money market funds, local government investment pools or unless otherwise specified in this investment policy;
3. The City may elect to sell a security prior to its maturity and record a capital gain or loss in order to improve the quality, liquidity or yield of the portfolio in response to market conditions or City’s risk preferences; and,
4. If securities owned by the City are downgraded to a level below the quality required by this Investment Policy, making the security ineligible for additional purchases, the following steps will be taken:
a. Any actions taken related to the downgrade by the investment manager will be communicated to the Finance Director or Chief Administrative Officer in a timely manner.
Amended and Adopted by Resolution No. 2026-066 & SA-26-102 Page 15 b. If a decision is made to retain a downgraded security in the portfolio, the credit situation will be monitored and reported monthly to the governing board.
C. Mitigating Market Risk in the Portfolio
Market risk is the risk that the portfolio value will fluctuate due to changes in the general level of interest rates. The City recognizes that, over time, longer-term portfolios have the potential to achieve higher returns. On the other hand, longer-term portfolios have higher volatility of return. The City will mitigate market risk by providing adequate liquidity for short-term cash needs, and by making longer-term investments only with funds that are not needed for current cashflow purposes.
The City further recognizes that certain types of securities, including variable rate securities, securities with principal paydowns prior to maturity, and securities with embedded options, will affect the market risk profile of the portfolio differently in different interest rate environments. The City, therefore, adopts the following strategies to control and mitigate its exposure to market risk:
1. The City will maintain a minimum of six months of budgeted operating expenditures in short term investments to provide sufficient liquidity for expected disbursements;
2. The stated final maturity of individual securities in the portfolio will be five years, except as otherwise stated in this policy;
3. The maximum weighted average stated final maturity of the total portfolio shall not exceed three years; and,
4. The duration of the portfolio will at all times be approximately equal to the duration (typically plus or minus 20%) of a Market Benchmark Index selected by the City based on the City’s investment objectives, constraints and risk tolerances. The City’s current Benchmark will be documented by the City.
XI. INVESTMENT POOLS/MUTUAL FUNDS
The City shall conduct a thorough investigation of any pool or mutual fund prior to making an investment, and on a continual basis thereafter. The Finance Director or Chief Administrative Officer shall develop a questionnaire which will answer the following general questions:
A description of eligible investment securities, and a written statement of investment policy and objectives.
Amended and Adopted by Resolution No. 2026-066 & SA-26-102 Page 16 A description of interest calculations and how it is distributed, and how gains and losses are treated.
A description of how the securities are safeguarded (including the settlement processes), and how often the securities are priced and the program audited.
A description of who may invest in the program, how often, what size deposit and withdrawal are allowed.
A schedule for receiving statements and portfolio listings. Are reserves, retained earnings, etc. utilized by the pool/fund? A fee schedule, and when and how is it assessed.
Is the pool/fund eligible for bond proceeds and/or will it accept such proceeds?
XII. INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES (PERFORMANCE STANDARDS AND EVALUATION) A. Overall Objective: The investment portfolio will be designed with the overall objective of obtaining a total rate of return throughout economic cycles, commensurate with investment risk constraints and cash flow needs.
B. Specific Objective: The investment performance objective for the portfolio will be to earn a total rate of return over a market cycle which is approximately equal to the return on the Market Benchmark Index selected by the City.
XIII. PROCEDURES AND INTERNAL CONTROLS
A. Procedures
The Finance Director or Chief Administrative Officer will establish investment policy procedures to assist investment staff with day-to-day operations of the investment program consistent with this policy. Such procedures will include explicit delegation of authority to persons responsible for investment transactions. No person may engage in an investment transaction except as provided under the terms of this policy and the procedures established by the City Treasurer.
B. Internal Controls
The Finance Director or Chief Administrative Officer is responsible for establishing and maintaining an internal control structure designed to ensure that the assets of the City are protected from loss, theft or misuse.
The internal control structure will be designed to provide reasonable assurance that these objectives are met. Internal controls will be described in the City’s investment procedures manual.

GLOSSARY OF INVESTMENT TERMS
Agencies. Shorthand market terminology for any obligation issued by a government-sponsored entity (GSE), or a federally related institution. Most obligations of GSEs are not guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the US government. Examples are:
FFCB. The Federal Farm Credit Bank System provides credit and liquidity in the agricultural industry. FFCB issues discount notes and bonds.
FHLB. The Federal Home Loan Bank provides credit and liquidity in the housing market. FHLB issues discount notes and bonds.
FHLMC. Like FHLB, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation provides credit and liquidity in the housing market. FHLMC, also called “Freddie Mac” issues discount notes, bonds and mortgage pass-through securities.
FNMA. Like FHLB and Freddie Mac, the Federal National Mortgage Association was established to provide credit and liquidity in the housing market. FNMA, also known as “Fannie Mae,” issues discount notes, bonds and mortgage pass-through securities.
GNMA. The Government National Mortgage Association, known as “Ginnie Mae,” issues mortgage pass-through securities, which are guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the US Government.
PEFCO. The Private Export Funding Corporation assists exporters.
Obligations of PEFCO are not guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the US government.
TVA. The Tennessee Valley Authority provides flood control and power and promotes development in portions of the Tennessee, Ohio, and Mississippi River valleys. TVA currently issues discount notes and bonds.
Asked. The price at which a seller offers to sell a security.
Asset Backed Securities. Securities supported by pools of installment loans or leases or by pools of revolving lines of credit.
Average Life. In mortgage-related investments, including CMOs, the average time to expected receipt of principal payments, weighted by the amount of principal expected.
Banker’s Acceptance. A money market instrument created to facilitate international trade transactions. It is highly liquid and safe because the risk of the trade transaction is transferred to the bank which “accepts” the obligation to pay the investor.
Benchmark. A comparison security or portfolio. A performance benchmark is a partial market index, which reflects the mix of securities allowed under a specific investment policy.
Bid. The price at which a buyer offers to buy a security.
Amended and Adopted by Resolution No. 2026-066 & SA-26-102 Page 20 Broker. A broker brings buyers and sellers together for a transaction for which the broker receives a commission. A broker does not sell securities from their own position.
Callable. A callable security gives the issuer the option to call it from the investor prior to its maturity. The main cause of a call is a decline in interest rates. If interest rates decline since an issuer issues security, it will likely call its current securities and reissue them at a lower rate of interest. Callable securities have reinvestment risk as the investor may receive its principal back when interest rates are lower than when the investment was initially made.
Certificate of Deposit (CD). A time deposit with a specific maturity evidenced by a certificate. Large denomination CDs may be marketable.
Collateral. Securities or cash pledged by a borrower to secure repayment of a loan or repurchase agreement. Also, securities pledged by a financial institution to secure deposits of public monies.
Collateralized Mortgage Obligations (CMO). Classes of bonds that redistribute the cash flows of mortgage securities (and whole loans) to create securities that have different levels of prepayment risk, as compared to the underlying mortgage securities.
Commercial Paper. The short-term unsecured debt of corporations.
Cost Yield. The annual income from an investment divided by the purchase cost.
Because it does not give effect to premiums and discounts which may have been included in the purchase cost, it is an incomplete measure of return.
Coupon. The rate of return at which interest is paid on a bond.
Credit Risk. The risk that principal and/or interest on an investment will not be paid in a timely manner due to changes in the condition of the issuer.
Current Yield. The annual income from an investment divided by the current market value. Since the mathematical calculation relies on the current market value rather than the investor’s cost, current yield is unrelated to the actual return the investor will earn if the security is held to maturity.
Dealer. A dealer acts as a principal in security transactions, selling securities from and buying securities for their own position.
Debenture. A bond secured only by the general credit of the issuer.
Delivery vs. Payment (DVP). A securities industry procedure whereby payment for a security must be made at the time the security is delivered to the purchaser’s agent.
Derivative. Any security that has principal and/or interest payments which are subject to uncertainty (but not for reasons of default or credit risk) as to timing and/or amount, or any security which represents a component of another security which has been separated from other components (“Stripped” coupons and principal). A derivative is also defined as a financial instrument the value of which is totally or partially derived from the value of another instrument, interest rate, or index.
Discount. The difference between the par value of a bond and the cost of the bond, when the cost is below par. Some short-term securities, such as Tbills and banker’s acceptances, are known as discount securities. They
Amended and Adopted by Resolution No. 2026-066 & SA-26-102 Page 21 sell at a discount from par and return the par value to the investor at maturity without additional interest. Other securities, which have fixed coupons, trade at a discount when the coupon rate is lower than the current market rate for securities of that maturity and/or quality.
Diversification. Dividing investment funds among a variety of investments to avoid excessive exposure to any one source of risk.
Duration. The weighted average time to maturity of a bond where the weights are the present values of the future cash flows. Duration measures the price sensitivity of a bond to changes in interest rates. (See modified duration).
Federal Funds Rate. The rate of interest charged by banks for short-term loans to other banks. The Federal Reserve Bank through open-market operations establishes it.
Federal Open Market Committee: A committee of the Federal Reserve Board that establishes monetary policy and executes it through temporary and permanent changes to the supply of bank reserves.

Leverage. Borrowing funds in order to invest in securities that have the potential to pay earnings at a rate higher than the cost of borrowing.
Liquidity: The speed and ease with which an asset can be converted to cash.
Make Whole Call. A type of call provision on a bond that allows the issuer to pay off the remaining debt early. Unlike a call option, with a make whole call provision, the issuer makes a lump sum payment that equals the net present value (NPV) of future coupon payments that will not be paid because of the call. With this type of call, an investor is compensated, or "made whole." Margin: The difference between the market value of a security and the loan a broker makes using that security as collateral.
Market Risk. The risk that the value of securities will fluctuate with changes in overall market conditions or interest rates.
Market Value. The price at which a security can be traded.
Marking to Market. The process of posting current market values for securities in a portfolio.
Maturity. The final date upon which the principal of a security becomes due and payable. An investment’s term or remaining maturity is measured from the settlement date to final maturity.
Amended and Adopted by Resolution No. 2026-066 & SA-26-102 Page 22 Medium Term Notes.

Money Market. The market in which short-term debt instruments (Tbills, discount notes, commercial paper, and banker’s acceptances) are issued and traded.
Mortgage Pass-Through Securities. A securitized participation in the interest and principal cash flows from a specified pool of mortgages. Principal and interest payments made on the mortgages are passed through to the holder of the security.
Municipal Securities. Securities issued by state and local agencies to finance capital and operating expenses.
Mutual Fund. An entity which pools the funds of investors and invests those funds in a set of securities which is specifically defined in the fund’s prospectus.
Mutual funds can be invested in various types of domestic and/or international stocks, bonds, and money market instruments, as set forth in the individual fund’s prospectus. For most large, institutional investors, the costs associated with investing in mutual funds are higher than the investor can obtain through an individually managed portfolio.
Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organization (NRSRO): Credit rating agencies provide assessments of an investment’s risk. The issuers of investments, especially debt securities, pay credit rating agencies to provide them with ratings. The three most prominent NRSROs are Moody’s, S&P and Fitch.
Negotiable CD: A short-term debt instrument that pays interest and is issued by a bank, savings or federal association, state of federal credit union, or statelicensed branch of a foreign bank.

Amended and Adopted by Resolution No. 2026-066 & SA-26-102 Page 23 Prudent Person (Prudent Investor) Rule. A standard of responsibility which applies to fiduciaries. In California, the rule is stated as “Investments shall be managed with the care, skill, prudence and diligence, under the circumstances then prevailing, that a prudent person, acting in a like capacity and familiar with such matters, would use in the conduct of an enterprise of like character and with like aims to accomplish similar purposes.”
Realized Yield. The change in value of the portfolio due to interest received and interest earned and realized gains and losses. It does not give effect to changes in market value on securities, which have not been sold from the portfolio.
Repurchase Agreement (RP, Repo). Short-term purchases of securities with a simultaneous agreement to sell the securities back at a higher price. From the seller’s point of view, the same transaction is a reverse repurchase agreement.
Safekeeping. A service to bank customers whereby securities are held by the bank in the customer’s name.
Structured Note. A complex, fixed income instrument, which pays interest, based on a formula tied to other interest rates, commodities or indices. Examples include inverse floating rate notes which have coupons that increase when other interest rates are falling, and which fall when other interest rates are rising, and "dual index floaters," which pay interest based on the relationship between two other interest rates - for example, the yield on the ten-year Treasury note minus the Libor rate. Issuers of such notes lock in a reduced cost of borrowing by purchasing interest rate swap agreements.
Supranational: A multi-national organization whereby member states transcend national boundaries or interests to share in the decision making to promote economic development in member countries.
Total Rate of Return. A measure of a portfolio’s performance over time. It is the internal rate of return, which equates the beginning value of the portfolio with the ending value; it includes interest earnings, realized and unrealized gains, and losses in the portfolio.
U.S. Treasury Obligations. Securities issued by the U.S. Treasury and backed by the full faith and credit of the United States. Treasuries are considered to have no credit risk and are the benchmark for interest rates on all other securities in the US and overseas. The Treasury issues both discounted securities and fixed coupon notes and bonds.
Treasury Bills. All securities issued with initial maturities of one year or less are issued as discounted instruments and are called Treasury bills. The Treasury currently issues three- and six-month Tbills at regular weekly auctions. It also issues “cash management” bills as needed to smooth out cash flows.
Treasury Notes. All securities issued with initial maturities of two to ten years are called Treasury notes and pay interest semi-annually.
Amended and Adopted by Resolution No. 2026-066 & SA-26-102 Page 24 Treasury Bonds. All securities issued with initial maturities greater than ten years are called Treasury bonds. Like Treasury notes, they pay interest semi-annually.
Yield to Maturity. The annualized internal rate of return on an investment which equates the expected cash flows from the investment to its cost.

ITEM TITLE: ANNUAL CITY POSITION VACANCY UPDATE AND RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION EFFORTS IN COMPLIANCE WITH ASSEMBLY BILL 2561. (0640-40) ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT:
Human Resources
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Assembly Bill 2561 (AB 2561 codified California Government Code § 3502.3), signed into law in September 2024 with an effective date of January 1, 2025, requires public agencies, including the City of Imperial Beach, to hold at least one public hearing per fiscal year to report on vacancies and recruitment and retention efforts.
RECOMMENDATION:
Open and hold the Public Hearing pursuant to Assembly Bill 2561 for comment and receive the presentation and report from staff and the Imperial Beach Firefighters’ Association, and to approve Resolution No. 2026-069 Adopting Policies and Procedures for the Public Hearing under AB 2561.2026-069, adopting Policies and Procedures for the Public Hearing under AB 2561.
OPTIONS:
1. Following receipt of presentations, approve Resolution No. 2026-069, adopting Policies and Procedure for Public Hearing under AB 2561; or
2. Do not adopt the Resolution and provide direction to the City Manager.
3. Receive and file the staff report and presentation; and BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
Assembly Bill 2561 was recently signed into law and became effective on January 1, 2025. The law, which added Section 3502.3 to the California Government Code, requires public agencies to present on the status of vacancies and recruitment and retention efforts on budgeted classifications during a public hearing before their governing board.
Local government agencies are required to:
Provide a yearly update to the City Council on employee vacancies, recruitment and retention efforts, and any obstacles in the hiring process. Present additional information regarding vacancies upon request by an employee organization if the vacancy rate within a bargaining unit is at least 20%. Allow employee organizations to make a presentation to the City Council.
Analysis:
The City recognizes that recruitment is about identifying, attracting, and hiring the right people for the organization, and retention is about keeping employees engaged, satisfied, and committed to
P a g e | 2
the organization in the long term. Both efforts are critical for the organization’s success, especially in today’s competitive job market.
AB 2561 acknowledges that recruitment and retention are currently a challenge for all public sector employers in California. In this regard, the City experiences similar challenges with respect to its recruitment efforts since it is competing for a limited pool of qualified candidates among other cities within the region. The following are the current vacancies from July 1, 2025, through June 1, 2026, listed per Bargaining Unit:
Service Employees International Union (SEIU): 8.25%
Imperial Beach Firefighters’ Association (IBFA): 25%

Next Steps
The Human Resources Department will continuously monitor vacancy rates for each employee association and will notify the association if its respective vacancy rate reaches 20%. The City will continue to make a presentation at a public hearing at least once per fiscal year to comply with Assembly Bill 2561.

The dominant type of commercial activity in the C/MU-2 Zone is intended to be visitor-serving retail, such as specialty stores, surf shops, restaurants, and hotels and motels. Mixed-use and multiple-family residences are also permitted in the C/MU-2 Zone.
OPTIONS:
In addition to reviewing this report and adopting staff recommendations, the City Council can:
Approve the Project with modifications requested by the City Council; or Deny the Project and the requested permits by making specific findings for denial; or Continue the Public Hearing to a specific future meeting to allow staff to provide additional information upon which a decision can be rendered.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
An application (USE-25-0034)
was submitted to the City on
August 14, 2025, for a
Regular Coastal Permit (CP25-0005), Design Review
Case (DRC-25-0004), Site
Plan Review (SPR-25-0004),
and Tentative Map (TM-25-
0002). The application
proposes the construction of
one new, three-story, mixeduse building with 1,847 sq. ft. of commercial space, six
dwelling units, and 14 parking
spaces. Each unit includes
three bedrooms and provides
between 1,667 and 2,009 square feet of habitable space.
The Project site is an existing 9,550 square foot lot located at the northeast corner of Seacoast Drive and Date Avenue. Vehicular ingress and egress to the property would be provided from a public alley which fronts Seacoast Drive and is immediately adjacent to the property on the north.
Both residential and commercial off-street parking would be accessed from the public alley.
Pedestrian access to the commercial space would be provided from Seacoast Drive via enhanced paving, while pedestrian access to the dwelling units would be provided from Date Avenue through pervious pavers and a security gate. The properties to the north, west, and south are also zoned C/MU-2 while the property to the east is zoned R-2000 (Medium Density Residential) and is currently being used for residential use.
Building Orientation and Design:
The proposed development is a contemporary three-story mixed-use building designed to enhance the surrounding built environment while providing a modern, functional, and visually engaging architectural presence (Attachment 3). The building’s massing is articulated through a series of clean, geometric forms that establish a strong street identity and create visual interest from multiple vantage points. Expansive floor-to-ceiling glazing along Seacoast Drive activates the pedestrian realm and promotes natural daylight penetration into interior spaces, while angled glazing along the south façade frames preferred views for occupants and enhances visual articulation.
To further enhance the building’s architectural character and pedestrian experience along Seacoast Drive, a patio cover provides shade and visual definition to the first-floor elevations.. In addition, the building incorporates roof decks and balconies that foster indoor-outdoor connectivity and provide flexible gathering spaces for occupants.
The Project also incorporates building setbacks and stepbacks to reduce perceived massing and ensure compatibility with surrounding development. Along the eastern property line adjacent to the residential zoning, the design includes a five-foot setback and stepback at the first and second floors, with a ten-foot stepback at the third floor, providing visual relief and minimizing potential impacts. Along Seacoast Drive, the second and third floors are stepped back approximately 6 feet 10 inches to 14 feet 4 inches on each floor from the western property line, further reducing the building’s massing and enhancing its relationship to the public realm.

Building Height
When measuring from the average of the existing grade, the overall height of the building, including the roof decks and parapets, is approximately 33’ – 1 ½”. However, pursuant to Imperial Beach Municipal Code (“IBMC”) section 19.40.020, parapets may extend above the height limit.
Not including the parapets that extend above the height limit, the building height from the average of the existing grade is 29’ – 7 ½”, which complies with the 30’ building height limit in the C/MU-2 zone.
Pursuant to IBMC section 19.27.070 (B), all commercial spaces on the ground floor shall have a minimum fifteen-foot floor-to-ceiling height. The Project is proposing a floor-to-ceiling height of fifteen feet, which is compliant with the City’s regulations.
Building Materials:
The Project’s exterior design incorporates a refined palette of materials, including stucco, composite siding, metal/window trim, and stone tile veneer (Attachment 4). The stucco would be finished in Sherwin-Williams SW 7008 Alabaster (Omega White), while the composite siding would feature Sherwin-Williams SW 7015 Repose Gray. Window frames and metal trim elements would be finished in Sherwin-Williams SW 6258 Tricorn Black, creating a contrast against the lighter wall surfaces. The stone tile veneer would consist of Arizona Tile Anthea Dark with a matte finish, adding texture and visual depth to the façade. Complementing these primary materials, accent elements would incorporate Sherwin-Williams SW 6244 Naval as the primary accent color and Sherwin-Williams Indigo Batik as the secondary accent color. The exterior palette would be completed with Charcoal Timberline HDZ roof shingles, providing a cohesive and contemporary architectural appearance.
Landscaping
Pursuant to IBMC section 19.50.030, no less than fifteen percent of the total site shall be landscaped and permanently maintained. Based on the Project’s 9,550-square-foot lot size, a minimum of 1,432.5 square feet of on-site landscaping is required. The Project provides a total of 1,173 square feet (12.28%) of on-site landscaping, located along the site perimeter to enhance aesthetic appeal and site drainage, as well as within a second-floor courtyard in the form of planters. In recognition of the on-site landscaping requirement deficiency, the Applicant has proposed shade street trees and drought-tolerant landscaping within the public right-of-way along both Seacoast Drive and Date Avenue, totaling 352 square feet (2.72%) of additional landscaped area.
During the project review, staff recommended that the Applicant comply with the minimum 15 percent on-site landscaping requirement. However, the Applicant respectfully requested that the landscaped areas within the public right-of-way be credited toward the Project’s total landscape calculations. The Applicant believes that including these areas would allow the Project to meet the minimum 15 percent landscaping requirement, while also contributing to the visual quality of the streetscape and enhancing the overall landscape performance of the development. In addition, the Applicant stated that the proposed public right-of-way landscaping further supports stormwater management objectives by capturing runoff and improving stormwater quality.
Because these improvements are directly adjacent to the Project site, are designed as an integrated extension of the Project’s landscape plan, and provide long-term public benefit, the Applicant requested that these landscaped areas be considered toward compliance. The landscaping within the public right-of-way along Seacoast Drive and Date Avenue would be installed and permanently maintained by the property owner.
Because this request requires consideration by both the Design Review Board and the City Council, staff sought input from the Design Review Board during a public meeting held on February 19, 2026. During the meeting, the Design Review Board reached a consensus to recommend approval of the request to allow off-site landscaping within the public right-of-way to
P a g e | 4
count toward the Project's total on-site landscaping requirement. This recommendation was made with the conditions that the approval does not establish a precedent for future projects within the City of Imperial Beach and that the existing sidewalk widths along Seacoast Drive and Date Avenue are not reduced. Approval of this request form the Applicant would satisfy the 15 percent landscaping requirement established in IBMC Section 19.50.030(A). Notwithstanding the Design Review Board’s recommendation of conditioned approval, the City Council may, at its discretion, require that all required landscaping be provided on-site and exclude landscaping located within the public right-of-way from the calculation of the minimum landscaping area required under IBMC Section 19.50.030(A).
The proposed landscaping plan (Attachment 5) includes a variety of shade trees, accent shrubs, massing shrubs, screening shrubs, and vines. The plant palette features Bay Laurel and Evergreen Chinese Elm trees; accent and shrub plantings including Agave, Narrow-leafed Bird of Paradise, Cordyline, and New Zealand Flax; massing shrubs such as Dwarf Yeddo Hawthorn, African Daisy, Green Carpet Natal Plum, and Jade Plant; and screening shrubs including Slim Bottlebrush. Vines, including Red Trumpet and Star Jasmine are also proposed. The landscaping would be distributed throughout the Project site and within the public right-of-way to enhance aesthetic appeal and support site drainage.
In addition, the Project proposes the use of pervious paving materials for exterior commercial and residential pedestrian walkways, as well as for vehicle ingress and egress areas, to promote stormwater infiltration and sustainable site design.
Parking
The minimum parking requirement for projects proposing multiple-family residential is 1.5 spaces per dwelling unit, and for projects proposing commercial uses in the C/MU-2 Zone the requirement is 1 space per 1,000 gross square feet of commercial (IBMC 19.48.035). Per IBMC section
19.48.070, where computation of required off-street parking results in a fractional requirement, the requirement shall be calculated as follows: If the fraction is one-half or more, it shall be calculated as one space. In total, the Project would be required to provide 10 spaces (9 spaces for the residential component and 1 space for the commercial space). The Project proposes 14 open parking spaces, which exceeds the amount required and is compliant with the IBMC.
Design Review Board Meeting (February 19, 2026)
The Design Review Board reviewed the Project on February 19, 2026, and recommended approval of the Project’s design with a vote of 4-0 (1 recused) with recommendations, to which the Applicant has provided responses (Attachment 6). Most of the Design Review Board's recommendations have been addressed and incorporated into the Project plans (Attachment 2) and/or included as conditions of approval in Resolution No. 2026-061 (Attachment 1).
With respect to Recommendation No. 9, which encouraged the Applicant to consider incorporating an elevator to serve the residential units, the Applicant was unable to incorporate this feature into the Project design. The Applicant made a good-faith effort to evaluate the feasibility of an elevator; however, its inclusion would reduce the area available for landscaping and compromise the Project's ability to satisfy the applicable landscaping requirements.
Regarding Recommendation No. 12, which suggested dedicating parking space No. 7 to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)-accessible unit along Date Avenue, the Applicant was unable to implement this recommendation. Pursuant to California Building Code accessibility requirements, required accessible parking spaces cannot be reserved exclusively for a specific dwelling unit, as they must remain available to all qualifying users.
Lastly, Recommendation No. 15 encouraged the Applicant to consider a more vertical shade tree species, such as Sweet Shade, in place of the proposed Chinese Evergreen Elm within the public right-of-way. The Applicant was unable to incorporate this recommendation, noting that Sweet

Shade trees are particularly susceptible to wind damage and generally perform best in more sheltered environments.
