EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
INTRODUCTION MGT Consulting Group (MGT) is pleased to present the City of La Mesa with this summary of findings for the recently completed cost of services study. This study is an update of a study that MGT most recently performed for the City in 2020.  La Mesa has a long history of reviewing its fees and charges and first underwent a detailed cost of services study in the early 1990’s.  From that point until 2004, the City made some minor adjustments to the original calculations, but largely maintained the fee structure that was developed as a result of that early study.  At that time, La Mesa became interested in accurately reporting the true cost of providing various fee‐related services and exploring the possibilities of modifying current fees to better reflect cost.  In 2004, the City contracted with Public Resource Management Group (PRM) to perform a detailed user fee cost analysis and the City took that opportunity to also develop a comprehensive cost recovery policy.  In 2006 the city again contracted with PRM to update the 2004 study.  In 2008 the city contracted with MGT (In August 2007 PRM merged with MGT of America Consulting, LLC.) to update the 2006 study, as well as every other year since then. Finally, in January of this year, La Mesa contracted again with MGT to update the cost analysis to reflect the City’s current budget, staffing, and user fee activity.

STUDY SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES This study included a review of fee‐for‐service activities within the following areas:
 Community Development – Planning and Building Inspection  Public Works ‐ Engineering and Wastewater Engineering  Community Services  Police  Fire  City Clerk  Finance

Page
1 The study was performed under the general direction of the City Manager’s Office with the participation of Finance and other city departments.  The primary goals of the study were to:
 Define what it costs the City to provide various fee‐related services.  Determine whether there are any opportunities to implement new fees.  Identify service areas where the City might adjust fees based on the full cost of services and other economic or policy considerations.  Develop revenue projections based on recommended increases (or decreases) to fees.

The information summarized in this report addresses each of these issues and provides the City with the tools necessary to make informed decisions about any proposed fee adjustments and the resulting impact on city revenues.

STUDY FINDINGS While the purpose of this study is to identify the cost of fee‐related activities, one of the outcomes of the analysis is to provide a complete picture of the full cost of all services offered.  It is necessary to identify all costs, whether fee‐related or not, so that there is a fair and equitable distribution of all indirect or overhead costs (discussed in a later section of this report) across all activities, thereby ensuring a definitive relationship between the cost of the service and the fee that is charged.  No service should be burdened with costs that cannot be directly or indirectly linked to that service.  Therefore, the first task in this study is to separate the fee‐for‐service activities from the non‐fee activities.  Some non‐fee related activities are appropriately funded by general fund monies (or other special revenue sources), such as public safety or public improvement projects.  The costs of these other services are identified and set aside from the user fee services.  The study's primary objective is to provide the City's decision‐makers with basic data needed for setting fees.  This report details the full cost of services, and presents fees and potential revenues and presents proposed fees and projected revenues based on established city policy for user fee cost recovery levels.  The exhibit on the following page displays the costs and revenues of each department/division into the following categories: Column A, Total Costs – Displays the total costs of each department.  This includes fee and non‐fee related service costs.  Non‐fee related service costs are set aside from the analysis.   Column B, User Fee Costs – Of the $49.922 million in total costs analyzed, $5.649 million of that total is related to user fee services.  It is this $5.649 million that is the focus of this study and represents the total potential for user fee‐related revenues for the City. Column C, Current Revenues – Based on current individual fee levels, the City generates fee‐related revenues of $3.829 million and is experiencing a 68% overall cost recovery level.  Within each department, current cost recovery levels range from 39% for Community Services up to 96% for Fire.

Column D, Current Subsidy – Current fee revenues recover 68% of full cost, leaving 32% or $1.820 million to be funded by other funding sources.

This $1.820 million  represents an opportunity for  the City  to increase fees and  revenues, with a corresponding decrease in  the subsidization of services. While it is not likely (nor would MGT recommend) that the City completely recover all costs for fees, it is possible for the City to implement moderate increases to current fees and implement new fees for some services. Column  E,  Recommended  Recovery –  Adjusting  fees  to  the  adopted  cost  recovery  policy  levels  would  increase  the  specified  fee  revenue  to $4,002,028.   This would bring the overall cost recovery level up to 71%.   Column F, Increased Revenue – $173,470 in potential new revenue could be generated.  This would represent an increase of 4.54% over the revenue currently being collected for these activities by the City on an annualized basis.

CITY POLICY
The city currently has a user fee cost recovery policy that it annually adopts by resolution.  This resolution establishes cost recovery levels (listed as percentage of total costs) by department.  Exceptions to the policy are also noted.  This report presents recommendations that are in accordance with city policy.

METHODOLOGY A cost of service study is comprised of two basic elements:
 Hourly rates of staff providing the service.    Time spent to provide the service.

The product of the hourly rate calculation times the time spent yields the cost of providing the service. HOURLY RATES The hourly rate methodology used in this study builds indirect costs into city staff hourly salary and benefit rates to arrive at fully burdened hourly rates.  Fully burdened hourly rates are a mechanism used to calculate the total cost of providing services.  Total cost is generally recognized as the sum of the direct cost together with a proportionate share of allowable indirect costs.  The proper identification of all costs (including labor, operating expense, department administration and citywide support) as “direct” or “indirect” is crucial  to  the determination of  the  total cost of providing services.   Direct costs are typically defined as those that can be identified specifically to a particular function or activity, including labor, and possibly materials or supplies. Indirect costs are those that support more than one program area and are not easily identifiable to specific activities. Examples of indirect costs are: departmental administrative and support staff, training and education time, public counter and telephone time, some service and supply costs, and citywide overhead costs from outside of the department as identified in the City’s cost allocation plan. MGT’s hourly rate calculation methodology includes the following: Personnel Services Analysis – each staff classification within the department or division is analyzed in the study.  The first burden factor is comprised of compensated absences such as vacation/holidays/sick leave days taken in a year’s time.  Staff classifications are then categorized as either direct (operational) or indirect (administrative or supervisory) labor.  In some cases, a classification will have both direct and indirect duties.  The total indirect portion of staff cost is incorporated into hourly overhead rates.

Page
4 Indirect  Cost  Rate  –  a  ratio  of  indirect  cost  to  direct  labor  (salaries  plus  benefits)  is  established.    There  are  three  elements  of  indirect  cost incorporated, including:
 Indirect Labor – includes compensated absences, administrative and supervisory staff costs.  Other Operating Expenses – most services and supplies are included as a second layer of indirect cost.  There are some service and supply expenses classified as “allowable direct”; these expenditures are not part of the indirect cost rate but will be included as directly supporting specific program areas.
 External Indirect Allocations – this represents citywide overhead (from the City’s cost allocation plan).

Cost Allocation Plan. Many of the costs that support all city programs and services are budgeted in centralized activities such as 1) Finance, which provides  payroll,  budgeting,  accounting  and  financial  reporting,  2)  Building  Maintenance,  which  provides  building  maintenance  and  custodial services, and 3) Information Systems, which provides computer and telephone support.  The costs of these activities and other centralized services are considered indirect overhead that support fee‐for‐service activities, as well as other programs and functions within the City.

Fully Burdened Hourly Rates – incorporates all the elements that comprise the hourly rates used in this cost analysis.  Each direct or operational staff classification is listed, together with the average annual salary.  The hourly salary rate is calculated by the taking annual salary and dividing by 2,080 available hours in a year.  The benefit rate reflects the average benefit rate multiplied against the salary rate.  The overhead rate is derived by multiplying the internal and external indirect cost rates against the salary plus benefit rates.

The total combines the salary, benefits and overhead rates.  This is the fully burdened rate for each staff classification.

MGT  prepared  indirect  overhead  rates and  corresponding  hourly  rate  calculations  using FY  2021/2022  budgeted expenditures. The hourly  rate schedules may be seen in Section III of this report.

TIME SPENT Once fully burdened hourly rates were developed for city staff, the next step in the process was to identify staff time spent directly on each of the user fee activities.  Each staff person involved in the user fee services identified time spent to complete each task associated with all user fee services.  Annual volume statistics were also gathered in order to develop total annual workload information.  This information is provided in detailed user fee workbooks which will be provided to the City upon completion of the study.

Page
5 FEE CALCULATIONS AND REVENUE PROJECTIONS
Given this information, MGT was able to calculate the cost of providing each service, both on a per‐unit and total annual basis (per‐unit cost multiplied by annual volume equals total annual cost).  As mentioned above, costs were calculated by multiplying per‐unit time estimates by the hourly labor rates; additional operating expenses directly associated with certain services were also added in. Finally, if other departments or divisions provided support into certain user fee activities, this time was accounted for and added into the analysis as a crossover support activity.  Full costs are then compared to current fees/revenues collected, and subsidies (or over‐recoveries) are identified.  User fee summaries by department may be seen in Section II of this report.

LEGAL, ECONOMIC & POLICY CONSIDERATIONS Calculating the true cost of providing city services is a critical step in the process of establishing user fees and corresponding cost recovery levels.

Although it is a principal factor, other factors must also be given consideration.  City decision‐makers must also consider the effects that establishing fees for services will have on the individuals purchasing those services, as well as the community as a whole.   The following legal, economic and policy issues help illustrate these considerations.  Legal restrictions – In California user fees are limited to the "estimated reasonable cost of providing a service" by Government Code section 66014(a) and other supplementary legislation.  Proposition 26 was approved by California voter in November of 2010 and clarified which charges are considered user fees and which are considered  taxes. The significance of  this distinction is  that user fees may be raised by Council action up to the limit of actual cost, whereas taxes may not be increased without a majority vote of the public.  None of the fee adjustments recommended by MGT are considered taxes per Proposition 26 guidelines.  It should be noted that fees charged for the use of government property are exempt from Proposition 26.  These include fees for parks and facility rentals as well as green fees, cart and other equipment rental fees. All of these fees may be set at a price the market will bear.  Economic barriers ‐ It may be a desired policy to establish fees at a level that permits lower income groups to use services that they might not otherwise be able to afford.
 Community benefit ‐ If a user fee service benefits the community as a whole to some extent, it is appropriate to subsidize a portion of the fee.  Many public health fees have very moderate cost recovery levels.  Some programs are provided free of charge or for a minimal fee regardless of cost. Culture and recreation programs also tend to have the low recovery levels.  Private benefit ‐ If a user fee primarily benefits the fee payer, the fee is typically set at, or close to 100% full cost recovery.  Development related fees generally fall into this category; however, exceptions are sometimes made for services such as appeal fees or fees charged exclusively to residential applicants.

 Service driver ‐ In conjunction with the third point above, the issue of who is the service recipient versus the service driver should also be considered.  For example, code enforcement activities benefit  the community as a whole, but  the service is driven by  the individual or business owner that violates city code.  Managing demand ‐ Elasticity of demand is a factor in pricing certain city services; increasing the price of some services results in a reduction of demand for those services, and vice versa.
 Competition ‐ Certain services, such as park usage or facility rentals, may be provided by neighboring communities or the private sector, and therefore demand for these services can be highly dependent on what else may be available at lower prices. Furthermore, if the City's fees are too low, demand enjoyed by private‐sector competitors could be adversely affected.  Incentives ‐ Fees can be set low to encourage participation in a service, such as obtaining a water heater permit.  Disincentives ‐ Penalties can be instituted to discourage undesirable behavior.  Examples include fines for construction without a building permit and fines for excessive false alarms within a one‐year period.

RECOMMENDATIONS GOING FORWARD MGT  recommends  that  the City build on its investment in  this cost‐of‐service analysis by continuing  to analyze its fees and charges.  Once  the commitment is made to understand the full cost of providing services, it is important to review and update the analysis in order to keep pace with changes in service delivery, staffing changes, and demand levels.   Most of our agencies ask us at the conclusion of the study: how often should this type of study be undertaken?  Our advice is to undergo this detailed analysis at least every three but not more than five years, with minor adjustments in the non‐study years (to keep pace with economic impacts).

Some of our clients undergo these studies every other year, some have opted to split  the study over  the course of three years (i.e. a subset of departments gets studied every year, with each department’s fees being analyzed once every three years), and finally we have other clients who have chosen to review fees every fourth or fifth year.  Virtually every client has set up for minor adjustments (typically using CPI percentages) in the off years, to mitigate any significant increases  that may occur when the detailed cost analysis is undertaken in future years.  This is particularly helpful once an agency has chosen to adopt a cost recovery policy – whether 100% of cost or something less – in order to keep fees at the desired level. MGT also recommends that our clients consider a phase‐in approach to some fees where the increase necessary to reach the proposed recovery level is so high that a one‐year implementation is too cost prohibitive.

Current  revenue figures shown above are actually a 4‐year average (FY18 ‐ FY21).  Closures due to facility construction and the COVID pandemic have resulted in significant reductions in program offerings and participation levels.

Department management project that the upcoming fiscal year will continue to show reductions, but is actively working towards scaling back up to pre‐pandemic levels.

I, MEGAN WIEGELMAN, City Clerk of the City of La Mesa, California, do hereby certify the foregoing to be a true and exact copy of Resolution No. 2022- , duly passed and adopted by the City Council of said City on the date and by the vote therein recited.

REPORT to the MAYOR and MEMBERS of the CITY COUNCIL
From the CITY MANAGER
DATE: April 26, 2022
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) PROGRAM FOR FISCAL YEAR
2022-23 AND SUBSTANTIAL AMENDMENT TO FISCAL
YEAR 2021-22
ISSUING DEPARTMENT: Community Development
SUMMARY:

Issues:

1. Should the City Council approve CDBG funding allocations for FY 2022-23 and authorize submission of the Annual Action Plan (Attachment C) to the U.S.

Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)?

2. Should the City Council approve a substantial amendment to the FY 2021-22 Annual Action Plan (Attachment D) and authorize submission to HUD? Recommendation:

1. Adopt a Resolution (Attachment A) approving the Fiscal Year 2022-23 Annual Action Plan and authorizing submittal to HUD.

2. Adopt a Resolution (Attachment B) approving a substantial amendment to Fiscal Year 2021-22 Annual Action Plan and authorizing submittal to HUD.

Fiscal Impact:

There is no impact to the City’s General Fund. Federal CDBG funds allow the City to support programs and complete projects that benefit low and moderate-income people and eliminate slum and blight. The City’s CDBG entitlement funding allocation for FY 2022-23 has not yet been announced, but is expected to be approximately $450,000. In addition, the City has $60,000 current and prior year funding available to reprogram.

Activities proposed in the Action Plan will be adjusted to match the actual entitlement amount once the actual appropriation amount is known.

City’s Strategic Goals:
 Revitalize neighborhoods and corridors
 Enhanced recreation and quality of life opportunities  Ensure safe and affordable homes for La Mesa's current and future residents
BACKGROUND:

As a CDBG entitlement community with a population of over 50,000, the City receives federal funds from HUD that can be used to carry out a wide range of community development activities directed toward neighborhood revitalization, economic development, and community facilities and services, with priority given to activities benefiting low and moderate income communities. La Mesa has participated in the CDBG program since the 1980s.

To remain eligible, the City is responsible for identifying community needs and priorities through the Consolidated Planning process. Every five years, the City is required to prepare a Consolidated Plan that establishes goals towards addressing those needs. Annual Action Plans are then developed to program activities that carry out the long term goals. The process includes multiple opportunities for citizen participation. Fiscal year 2021-22 is Year 2 of the 2020-2025 Consolidated Planning period. The current CDBG program goals are as follows:
 Improve facilities and infrastructure
 Fair Housing
 Planning and Administration
 Homeless Services
 Public and Community Services
 Conserve the Housing Stock
HUD’s three statutory program goals for serving lower income populations are: decent housing, a suitable living environment, and expanded economic opportunity. All of the City’s CDBGfunded activities meet at least one of the statutory goals.

The CDBG program goals fit within the City Council’s strategies and goals. Projects and activities funded with CDBG revitalize neighborhoods, enhance recreation and quality of life opportunities, and improve access to safe and affordable housing. These projects and activities also help the City to improve public services and infrastructure and increase financial stability and public safety.

DISCUSSION:

The Annual Action Plan for program year 2022-23 (Attachment C) and amended Annual Action Plan for 2021-22 (Attachment D), summarized below, have been developed to align with goals identified in the Consolidated Plan and in consideration of input received at the initial City

Report to Mayor and Councilmembers

Page: 3 of 5
Council hearing held on March 22, 2022. In accordance with the City’s adopted Citizen Participation Plan, the plan circulated for a 30-day public review period from March 25, 2022, to April 24, 2022 and notice of the public hearing for this item was published in the Daily Transcript and mailed to interested parties on March 25, 2022.

Improve Facilities and Infrastructure: Collier Park ($364,000) Available Budget: FY 2022-23: $354,000
FY 2021-22: $10,000
CDBG has long supported rehabilitation efforts at Collier Park. A need was identified by the community to create a safer, more active use park with improved connections to the neighborhood. Following adoption of the Collier Park Renovations Project Master Plan in 2015, Phase I improvements were completed in 2018. The Phase I scope included grading, new hardscape, new landscape, and irrigation improvements to the panhandle portion of the park, near the park entry. Implementation of the master plan is continuing. Phase II, which includes grading and landscaping, new restroom facilities, additional parking, roadway improvements, and security upgrades in the heart of the park is planned.

An additional budget of $364,000, as adjusted depending on the actual FY 2022-23 allocation amount, together with prior year CDBG allocations totaling $1.39 million and leveraged with $3 million in State Parks and Recreation funding and Prop 68 funds, will allow the city to complete Phase II in the coming year.

Homeless Services ($60,000)
Available budget: FY 2021-22 $30,000
FY 2022-23: Not to exceed $30,000
An annual public services budget of $30,000 was planned for allocation in 2021-22 for a housing specialist to find homes for people outside of the limited shelter system and to assist with stabilizing clients placed in bridge housing. That activity did not transpire and the funds are available for reallocation. FY 2022-23 funding of up to $30,000 is also available for homeless services, subject to a 15% annual public services cap.

Homeless outreach efforts coordinated through the City’s person-centered Homeless Outreach and Mobile Engagement (HOME) program have identified a shortage of housing solutions. A single, coordinated housing stabilization program will provide a range of housing navigation services. Leveraged with American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding and CDBG Cares Act Homeless Housing Solutions funding, the combined project would fund a prevention and diversion specialist, motel vouchers, and flex funds for rental applications, utility deposits, and move-in cost assistance over a two-year period.

The proposed scope of work fits within the existing Homeless Services and Homeless Housing Solutions project descriptions. Only the budget would change. A provider will be selected through an RFP process.

Report to Mayor and Councilmembers
Date: April 26, 2022
Page: 4 of 5
Fair Housing ($30,000)
Under the Consolidated Plan, fair housing services are funded as a public service program. Fair housing services are provided to the City by the Center for Social Advocacy (CSA) San Diego County. Each year, the City must certify to HUD that the City is affirmatively furthering fair housing and the contract with CSA helps the City meet this CDBG program implementation requirement. The City’s contribution to CSA, combined with that of several other east county jurisdictions, including the cities of El Cajon, Santee, and Lemon Grove, supports this organization and furthers fair housing goals within La Mesa and the region. An allocation of $30,000 is consistent with prior years. This activity falls within the annual 20 percent administrative cap and the 15 percent public services cap.

Planning and Administration ($50,000)
Planned administrative activities include preparation of annual plans and reports, environmental review of projects, contract administration, financial reporting, development of a Notice of Funding Availability for homeless services, subrecipient monitoring, and public outreach. This activity falls within the 20 percent administrative cap.

Conserve the Housing Stock ($6,000)
Administrative activities associated with the housing rehabilitation loan program include monitoring the loan portfolio and processing loan pay-off paperwork. This activity falls within the 20 percent administrative cap.

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

1. Introduction
Program Year 3 Action Plan Executive Summary
The 2022-2023 One-Year Action Plan implements the third year of the 2020-2025 Consolidated Plan and addresses the HUD consolidated planning requirements for the Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG). This plan includes the funding allocations that the City will make to housing and community development programs and activities.

The City of La Mesa participates in the HOME program under the County of San Diego. HOME funds are being administered directly by the County of San Diego Housing and Community Development Department. Homebuyer assistance if available to current and future La Mesa residents via the County’s HOME-funded Down Payment and Closing Cost Program

2. Summarize the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan The Action Plan incorporates outcome measures identified in the Consolidated Plan. Activities are selected in accordance with the Federal Register Notice dated March 7, 2006, which require the following Performance Measure Objectives/Outcomes to be associated with each activity funded:

General Objective Categories- Activities will meet one of the following:
• Decent Housing (DH)
• A Suitable Living Environment (SL)
• Economic Opportunity (EO) General
Outcome Categories- Activities will meet one of the following:
• Availability/Accessibility (1)
• Affordability (2)
• Sustainability (3)
The City of La Mesa has a range of housing and community development needs. CDBG funds alone are not adequate to address the various needs identified during the public outreach process and summarized in the Needs Assessment. Recognizing the national objectives of these funding programs and specific program regulations, the City intends to use these funds to coordinate programs and projects to create a decent and suitable living environment to benefit low- and moderate-income households and those with special needs. Needs which have been determined to be a High Priority level will receive funding during this five-year planning period. Needs with a Low Priority may be funded based on the availability of funds. Program goals established in the 2020-2025 Consolidated Plan, which form the basis for establishing objectives and outcomes in the 2022-2023 Action Plan, are as follows:

Annual Action Plan
2022
4 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Goal 1 – Improve public facilities and infrastructure to promote a healthy and vibrant city environment.

Goal 2 – Promote equitable access to affordable housing through preservation of existing units, assistance to homeowners, and fair housing services.

Goal 3 – Create programs to prevent and address homelessness and provide access to services.

Goal 4 – Provide local community services to support low- and moderate-income households.

These four goals represent the varied needs that emerged during the ConPlan development process.

Infrastructure emerged as the top priority of survey respondents. The goals identified above specifically address the uses of CDBG and HOME funds in La Mesa.

3. Evaluation of past performance
The City has successfully implemented housing and community development activities in the previous ConPlan cycle, reaching thousands of low- and moderate-income individuals. The City focuses its CDBG funding on infrastructure projects and, having completed 8 (eight) projects, made a significant impact on LMI neighborhoods and individuals in La Mesa. Through CSA San Diego, the City’s fair housing service provider, 450 La Mesa residents were provided with fair housing services over the past five years.

The City’s affordable housing objective is to provide homeownership opportunities using HOME funds available through the County HOME Consortium. In prior years, the City also issued loans to lowerincome homeowners through its Housing Rehabilitation Program, of which 10 loans are outstanding. No recent loans have been issued due to the limited amount of funding available.

Limited CDBG resources have impacted the City’s ability to simultaneously fund capital improvements and public services. The La Mesa City Council has established a policy guideline that suspends the public service program if the City’s annual CDBG funding allocation is below $450,000. One exception to this policy is that the City may pursue funding for homeless services. In addition, the City will continue to support fair housing services such as those that have been provided by the Center for Social Advocacy (CSA) of San Diego County. CSA assists people experiencing housing discrimination. However, the need for public services in the community is extensive.

CDBG funds have primarily supported multi-year improvement projects in low- and moderate-income neighborhoods. Collier Park and Vista La Mesa Park are examples of complex, phased infrastructure rehabilitation projects. In 2016-17, the City completed three large undertakings and restored timeliness.

Due to rising construction costs and COVID-related delays, completion of the Collier Park Improvements Project Collier Park has been deferred to the 2022-23 program year. As the majority of CDBG funds are allocated to this undertaking, it is critical that the City complete this project to meet timeliness expectations.

Annual Action Plan
2022
5 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
In evaluating past performance, the City recognizes that even relatively small projects are multi-year undertakings requiring multiple funding sources, which makes achieving and maintaining timeliness an ongoing challenge.

4. Summary of Citizen Participation Process and consultation process The City’s community participation process is informed by the Citizen Participation Plan, which guides the implementation of a community engagement process and notification of community meetings and public hearings. In accordance with the adopted Citizen Participation Plan, two noticed public hearings were conducted in the formulation of the 2022-23 Annual Action Plan. Notice of a 30-day public review period and public hearing was published in the Daily Transcript on March 25, 2022. Notice of the first hearing was published in the Daily Transcript on March 9, 2022. Public hearings were held on March 22, 2022, and on April 26, 2022. Public comments are encouraged and all input is considered in the formulation of CDBG needs, priorities, projects, and activities.

5. Summary of public comments
A significant amount of qualitative feedback on community needs was collected through community meetings, stakeholder consultations, a public comment period, and at formal public hearings during the development of the ConPlan. These comments provided insight into community needs and informed the CDBG program goals as well as the Annual Action Plan. Top priority needs were identified as infrastructure, community facilities, housing, homelessness, and transportation. Formal public comments for the ConPlan were received at meetings of City Council and during a public comment period.

6. Summary of comments or views not accepted and the reasons for not accepting them All public comments were accepted and addressed in the Consolidated Plan and subsequent Annual Action Plan review.

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

1. Introduction
The City of La Mesa has long communicated and collaborates with many governmental and non‐ governmental agencies in the region to address the needs of the City’s LMI population. The City’s formalized collaborative efforts include being a member of the County of San Diego’s HOME Consortium and recipient of Housing Choice Vouchers (Section 8) through the County of San Diego’s voucher program. City staff also works closely with the County of San Diego Health and Human Services Agency, as well as nonprofit health and mental health providers.

Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction’s activities to enhance coordination between public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health and service agencies (91.215(l)).

The City encourages agencies to work together to leverage resources and prevent duplication of services for the betterment of the people being served. During the community engagement process, the City consulted with these and other agencies and businesses at community meetings, through interviews and an online survey. An outreach list was compiled consisting of 187 agencies, including:
• Nonprofit service providers that cater to the needs of low- and moderate-income households and persons
• with special needs, including persons with disabilities; • Affordable housing providers;
• Housing advocates;
• Housing professionals;
• Public agencies (such as school districts, health services, public works); • Economic development and employment organizations; and • Community and neighborhood groups.

Additionally, members of the City’s governing body work closely with other regional entities and committees throughout the County. These affiliations include:
• San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG), San Diego County’s federally recognized metropolitan planning organization (MPO)
• Regional Task Force on the Homeless (RTFH), the region’s HUD Continuum of Care (CoC) • San Diego Regional Alliance for Fair Housing
• Quarterly meetings of local CDBG program administrators As of 2018, entitlement jurisdictions must account for narrowing the digital divide and increasing resilience to natural hazards. To do so, the City consulted with 2-1-1 San Diego, the region’s community information exchange, to understand the efforts throughout San Diego County to narrow the digital divide and bring broadband internet service to a broader swath of the population, especially LMI communities.

Annual Action Plan
2022
8 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Lastly, RTFH and the City’s fair housing service provider were both interviewed in developing the Consolidated Plan. The City will continue to maintain partnerships with these and other agencies to achieve its long-term housing and community development goals.

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

The City works closely with the Regional Task Force on the Homeless (RTFH), San Diego County’s Continuum of Care (CoC) entity. Coordinated activities include the annual Point-in-Time (PIT) count and services and shelters for those experiencing or at risk of homelessness. The PIT allows the community to engage and survey those experiencing homelessness countywide to provide a count of the region’s sheltered and unsheltered homeless community. The 2020 PIT counted a total 52 unsheltered individuals, representing approximately 9 percent of the total homeless population in East San Diego County.

In developing the Consolidated Plan, RTFH was interviewed to provide insight on the challenges and progress on homelessness in the region and in La Mesa.

In response to community concerns and increasing need, the City created a Citizens Taskforce on Homelessness in 2019. Out of that taskforce came a new initiative, the Homeless Outreach and Mobile Engagement (HOME) Program. Launched in 2020 and partially funded with CDBG CARES Act funding, the locally-managed program provides trained specialists, including a full-time outreach worker and mental health clinician, to offer an array of services and housing opportunities.

Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction’s area in determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards for and evaluate outcomes of projects and activities assisted by ESG funds, and develop funding, policies and procedures for the operation and administration of HMIS The City of La Mesa does not administer ESG funds; however, City staff did consult with RTFH in developing the 2020-25 Consolidated Plan.

Table 5 - Expected Resources – Priority Table
Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how matching requirements will be satisfied The City has been successful in obtaining grants and identifying other funds to commit to Consolidated Plan priorities for capital improvement projects. As the City continues to work to carry out improvements that implement the Collier Park Master Plan, funding from California Parks, Environment, and Water Bond (Prop 68) are being sought to leverage CDBG resources. In addition, La Mesa Park & Recreation funds were used to resurface the tennis court in Collier Park and restripe for dual use as a pickleball court. In 2021, the City received $3 million in State Parks and Recreation funding and Prop 68 funds to be used for improvements to Collier Park.

Annual Action Plan
2022
12 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
In recent years the City has received $10.4 million in grant funding towards bike and pedestrian infrastructure improvements, much of which has been located in low-moderate income neighborhoods or adjacent to schools serving low-moderate income areas. The West La Mesa Street Improvement Project, a $6 million undertaking, completed a new road, Junior High Drive, completed missing sidewalk links, and provided over five miles of new Class II or Class III bike lanes adjacent to Helix High School and La Mesa Arts Academy, which are within walking distance of and served by surrounding CDBG eligible neighborhoods.

The City actively applies for grants to complete infrastructure projects in low-moderate income neighborhoods.

If appropriate, describe publically owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that may be used to address the needs identified in the plan Activities to be funded include improvements to a City-owned public park and related street improvements. Collier Park is a publicly-owned local park located in a CDBG-eligible neighborhood.

Right-of-way, including portions of Pasadena Avenue, Palm Avenue, and 4th Street, extend through and around the park. Portions of the adjacent streets are improved with curb, gutter and sidewalks.

Pasadena Avenue, which runs through the park, lacks sidewalks, curb and gutter.

Prior to 2014, as a participant of the County's HOME consortium, the City of La Mesa directly received a small allocation of HOME funds for the City's affordable housing activities. HUD revisions to the program now require consortia lead agencies to deliver funds directly to HOME beneficiaries, eligible low-income households. The City no longer receives its specific allocation of HOME funds from the County.

Describe the reasons for allocation priorities and any obstacles to addressing underserved needs
The primary obstacle to meeting underserved needs is the lack of financial and staff resources. Each year, the City of La Mesa City Council selects high priority projects for funding. Other projects, which are high priority and are important to the City’s community development goals, are not funded. In spite of the small level of financial resources, the City of La Mesa strives to successfully complete at least one high priority community development project each year.

Needs Addressed Homeless
Funding CDBG: $30,000
Description Homeless services continue to be a critically important and an underserved need in the community. Outreach efforts coordinated through the City’s person-centered Homeless Outreach and Mobile Engagement (HOME) program have identified a shortage of housing solutions. A single, coordinated housing stabilization program would most effectively provide a range of housing navigation services.

Leveraged with American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding, the project would fund a prevention and diversion specialist, motel vouchers, and flex funds for rental applications, utility deposits, and move-in cost assistance over a two-year period.

The total proposed CDBG budget is $226,372, including $30,000 FY 2022- 23 CDBG funds. A provider will be selected through an RFP process.

AP-50 Geographic Distribution - 91.420, 91.220(f)
Description of the geographic areas of the entitlement (including areas of low-income and minority concentration) where assistance will be directed The City is committed to a policy that uses CDBG funds to construct public improvements that benefit lower income neighborhoods or special needs populations. While there is some overlap between lower income neighborhoods and neighborhoods with minority concentrations, the City does not use minority concentration as a basis for distribution of assistance.

Target Area Percentage of Funds
Table 8 - Geographic Distribution
Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically Priorities for allocation are a result of various community outreach efforts and consultation meetings developed under the Citizen Participation process and approved by the La Mesa City Council. Generally the needs have been determined to be improvements to aging infrastructure systems, park improvements, and affordable housing. The small size of the community (nine square miles) precludes the need to establish specific Target Areas.

AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing -91.420, 91.220(j) Introduction
Public policies can have a negative effect on the development of affordable housing and residential investment. Public policies with potential negative effects include the complex approval process, permitting and other costs that add to project expenses and most importantly, zoning ordinances that inhibit affordable housing development, conversion or rehabilitation Actions planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the return on residential investment
Individual cities have little influence over market constraints, but can provide incentives or assistance to overcome the impacts of market constraints. Major governmental constraints to affordable housing development include land use policies governed by the Land Use Element of the General Plan, zoning and development codes, development and planning fees, and growth management policies. The City of La Mesa's Housing Element was adopted by the City Council on July 27, 2021, pursuant to State Housing Element Law. The Housing Element provides long-range policy direction consistent with the General Plan planning period, combined with short-term implementation of programs for the current housing element cycle. The Housing Element identifies the need to address and remove governmental constraints affecting the maintenance, improvement, and development of affordable housing and special needs groups. This includes emergency shelters, transitional housing, supportive housing, and SROs.

A number of recent actions have been taken by the City to reduce barriers to affordable housing. In 2017, the City adopted an Affordable Homes Bonus Program to implement State density bonus regulations. In 2019 and 2020, the City adopted accessory dwelling unit (ADU) and junior accessory dwelling unit (JADU) ordinances to comply with state regulations and encourage new ADU development as an effective means to provide affordable housing. The City does not charge sewer connection fees for ADUs, waives sewer fees for any deed-restricted affordable unit, and waives sewer and park fees for all units in 100 percent deed-restricted affordable projects. Also in 2019, the City adopted a new zoning ordinance that allows emergency shelters by-right. In early 2022, the City adopted ordinances to allow for two-unit development and urban lot splits in single-family zones consistent with State law.

Introduction
Program goals established in the 2020-2025 Consolidated Plan, which form the basis for establishing objectives and outcomes in the 2022-2023 One-Year Action Plan, are as follows:

Goal 1 – Improve public facilities and infrastructure to promote a healthy and vibrant city environment.

Goal 2 – Promote equitable access to affordable housing through preservation of existing units, assistance to homeowners, and fair housing services.

Goal 3 – Create programs to prevent and address homelessness and provide access to services.

Goal 4 – Provide local community services to support low- and moderate-income households.

These four goals represent the varied needs that emerged during the ConPlan development process.

Infrastructure emerged as the top priority of survey respondents. The goals identified above specifically address the uses of CDBG and HOME funds in La Mesa.

Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs The City proactively pursues grant funding from a variety of private and public sources. Over the past five years the City has been awarded several grants for street improvements that help address safe routes to school in CDBG eligible areas. In FY 2018-19, the City received four HSIP grants totaling $1,014,000, two Active Transportation Program (ATGP) Capital Grants totaling $625,000, and one SANDAG Smart Growth Incentive Program Planning Grant for $169,000. These recently awarded funds were be used to improve pedestrian and bike safety and promote walkability citywide, including in and adjacent to CDBG eligible neighborhoods. The West La Mesa Street Improvement Project, a $6 million undertaking, completes a new road, Junior High Drive, completes missing sidewalk links, and provides over five miles of new Class II or Class III bike lanes adjacent to Helix High School and La Mesa Arts Academy, which are within walking distance of and served by surrounding CDBG eligible neighborhoods.

Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing The Community Development Department is responsible for the City’s housing programs. Staff is assigned to monitor the status of one “at-risk” apartment project, to manage the housing rehabilitation loan portfolio, and to work with the private sector to develop proposals for new affordable housing construction.

In 2017 the City adopted an Affordable Homes Bonus Program to implement a statewide density bonus program that encourages new housing development across all income levels. In 2019 and 2020, the City adopted accessory dwelling unit (ADU) and junior accessory dwelling unit (JADU) ordinances to comply with state regulations and encourage new ADU development as an effective means to provide affordable housing. The City does not charge sewer connection fees for ADUs, waives sewer fees for any deed-restricted affordable unit, and waives sewer and park fees for all units in 100 percent deedrestricted affordable projects. In early 2022, the City adopted ordinances to allow for two-unit development and urban lot splits in single-family zones consistent with State law.

In 2019 the City circulated a request for developer qualifications for an affordable multi-family residential project in the downtown village on the former site of the City’s police station. The 1.27-acre site is approved for a 100% affordable development project consisting of 147 deed-restricted affordable units. Construction expected to begin within the year.

Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards
The City of La Mesa Building Department provides information to the public regarding the implementation of lead-based paint regulations promulgated by the Environmental Protection Agency.

A handout notifies building department customers of the requirement to hire a lead certified contractor.

A slide with contact information for the EPA lead safe housing program and the need to hire qualified contractor is on the City’s government access television station and is posted on the City’s website.

Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families As a small city, La Mesa's actions have little direct impact on reducing the number of families living below the poverty level. The impacts of the policies of the County, the State and the Federal governments have a much greater impact. However, the existing housing stock in La Mesa remains relatively affordable and the City continues to support the production of new affordable housing.

The City has also adopted an Economic Development Strategy to define policies and programs to retain and expand local business opportunity. This long-term project is aimed at providing a full spectrum of jobs in the community. These activities could have a positive impact on very low-income families.
