2 Case Clearances
On 5/22/22, at approximately 1:30 PM, four juveniles attempted to shoplift items from the Vons located at 8011 University Avenue. After being confronted, the four juveniles assaulted Vons’ employees and fled the store with the merchandise. La Mesa patrol officers arrived a short time later and pursued the suspects on foot. All four suspects were apprehended by patrol units. After a records check, it was discovered three out of the four juveniles were reported as runaways and one had an active warrant for their arrest.

On 5/29/22, at approximately 2:00 AM, a male entered the 7-Eleven, located at 5746 Amaya Drive and attempted to conceal store items in his pockets. The clerk noticed the male concealing items and confronted him. A brief struggle ensued which caused the clerk to fall onto a nearby wine display. The male exited the store and threatened to return with a firearm. Officers arrived within minutes and spotted the suspect who then took off on foot. With the assistance of a police helicopter, the suspect was apprehended in some nearby bushes. The male was placed under arrest for robbery and making criminal threats.

He was transported and booked into San Diego Central Jail.

Historical Property Crime Comparison, 2nd Quarter Year to Date Compared to the previous year, during the 2nd quarter, residential burglary decreased

38.2%, commercial burglary increased 22.2%, theft increased 16.7% and auto theft increased 8%. Theft increased during 2022 year to date, in part, due to increases in the theft of motor vehicle parts and accessories such as catalytic converters and license plates, as well as an increase in reported shoplifting cases.

3 Case Clearances
On 04/06/22, just after midnight, a security guard at Grossmont Center Mall witnessed a male subject walk near several businesses before entering a door that led to the Mall's mailroom. The security guard followed and found the subject carrying mail addressed to one of the businesses. The suspect fled the scene, but was located by La Mesa patrol officers near Grossmont Hospital. After a foot pursuit, the suspect was taken into custody.

A records check of the suspect’s name revealed he had an outstanding felony arrest warrant. He was arrested for the warrant, burglary, resisting arrest, possession of methamphetamine, possession of drug paraphernalia, and booked into San Diego Central Jail. He is still in custody awaiting trial.

On 04/28/22, at approximately 3:00 AM, a victim’s vehicle was burglarized while parked in the 6000 block of Nagel Street. The victim’s backpack containing credit cards was stolen.

Several hundred dollars were fraudulently charged to the victim’s credit cards. Through investigative leads, La Mesa’s Special Investigations Unit (SIU) detectives identified the suspect in the case. With the help of San Diego Sheriff’s Department deputies, the suspect was arrested and booked for identity theft and fraud charges.

5 Community Engagement and Information Sharing
Social Media
During the 2nd quarter, the Social Media Team shared information with the public related to underaged drinking and alcohol-related crashes, the dangers of marijuana and other substance use on the adolescent brain, health impacts of vaping, gun safety, and responsible gun ownership reminders.

In June, the La Mesa Police Department started a give away of free cable-style gun locks provided by Project Child Safe. Gun locks are still available for all La Mesans with proof of residence, on a first come-first served basis, in the station lobby during regular business hours.

Events and Presentations
On April 6th, La Mesa Police Department hosted a Coffee with a Cop event at Sheldon’s Service Station in La Mesa. This event is an opportunity for police officers to engage with the community and to answer questions or concerns.

On April 21st, La Mesa officers and staff participated in our first Cocoa with a Cop at Lemon Avenue Elementary. We had a student stop by our Coffee with a Cop event earlier in the month who suggested we should do Cocoa with a Cop with kids, because he does not drink coffee. We asked his class to be our first Cocoa with a Cop guests.

On April 30th, the Community Resource Unit coordinated a Catalytic Converter Engraving Event. Open to all residents of La Mesa, participants were asked to register for appointments during the event to reduce wait times. The event was completely booked and a total of 55 residents were assisted with engraving. This was the second catalytic converter engraving event hosted by the Department this year.

REPORT to the MAYOR and MEMBERS of the CITY COUNCIL
From the CITY MANAGER
DATE: September 13, 2022
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION APPROVING A CONTRACT WITH

HOME START FOR HOUSING NAVIGATION

SERVICES
ISSUING DEPARTMENT: City Manager’s Office
SUMMARY:

Issues:

Should the City Council adopt a resolution approving a contract with Home Start to provide Housing Navigation Services in the amount of $574,000? Recommendation:

Award a contract to Home Start totaling $574,000 to provide Housing Navigation Services.

Fiscal Impact:

The City Council previously approved American Rescue Plan Act funds for these services. Sufficient funds are budgeted for these services.

City’s Strategic Goals:
 Continue to improve high quality municipal services
BACKGROUND:

The City of La Mesa launched the Homeless Outreach and Mobile Outreach (HOME) Program, as a pilot program two years ago. Since that time, the program has officially been incorporated into the La Mesa Police Department (LMPD), provided permanent housing to dozens of formerly homeless individuals, and is on track to respond to over 1,100 calls for service this year that would otherwise have required an officer response.

Page 56 of 178 ends

Report to Mayor and Councilmembers
Date: September 13, 2022
Page: 2 of 3
The HOME Team has also continued leveraging technology to decrease response times to calls for service, provided improved support to police officers in the field, and refined program workload and service provision through data tracking. The HOME program continues employing its progressive engagement model to assist the homeless while enabling the LMPD to focus on other priority calls for service.

DISCUSSION:

Staff continues evaluating the HOME program and consulting with the outreach team regarding ways in which the City can support its goals. The HOME team spends most of its time in the field coordinating activities with the LMPD. When an individual is ready to accept services, HOME works with various nonprofits to identify housing opportunities such as existing regional shelters and local motels. While this model has served the program during its initial launch period, the HOME team requested resources to increase the available supply of local housing to assist more individuals and families.

By working directly with existing landlords, the proposed housing navigation services would create a broader inventory of available housing units (both within and outside of La Mesa) to accelerate the housing process.

Selection Process
Earlier this year, the City Council approved an American Rescue Plan Act expenditure package that included an allocation for housing navigation services. Following the City Council’s direction, staff issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for housing navigation services with the goal of creating additional units through landlord engagement, administration of a motel voucher program, administration of a flexible housing program, and referral services for additional housing opportunities. In response to the RFP, the City received responses from Equitable Housing Solutions and Home Start. The selection committee found both proposals to be responsive to the RFP; both firms have extensive experience providing housing navigation support services. The table below reflects the overall scores received by both firms, which include the proposals and interviews conducted:

Page 57 of 178 ends

Report to Mayor and Councilmembers
Date: September 13, 2022
Page: 3 of 3
While both firms were very qualified, Home Start demonstrated an extensive understanding of the City’s specific needs and firsthand knowledge of the outreach model used by the City. Home Start’s proposal and interview reflected a strong commitment to supporting the HOME program and adapting its services to the City’s solutions-based approach. Home Start also demonstrated its ability to work collaboratively with HOME by effectively integrating housing navigation services into its proposed service model. In addition, Home Start has a proven track record of successfully administering rental assistance programs in the San Diego region, working with challenging clients, and demonstrating its ability to work well with municipal partners to serve community needs. The selection committee recommends Home Start as the preferred provider for the proposed housing navigation services contract.

CONCLUSION:

The proposed four-year contract would allow Home Start to work in partnership with HOME and enhance the program’s ability to provide housing. Home Start would work with landlords to identify new housing opportunities in La Mesa, administer a motel voucher program, and connect HOME to its extensive network of existing housing options. The proposed contract would enable HOME to continue focusing on street outreach and progressive engagement while Home Start creates a pipeline of additional housing resources. The opportunities created by the partnership would accelerate HOME’s ability to house individuals ready to accept services and continue addressing an important community and regional issue. Staff believes the HOME program would greatly benefit from Home Start’s experience with housing navigation.

Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to City.

Contractor shall be responsible for payment of any deductibles contained in any insurance policies required hereunder and Contractor shall also be responsible for payment of any self-insured retentions. Any deductibles or self-insured retentions must

Page 63 of 178 ends

be declared to, and approved by, the City Manager or his/her designee. At the option of the City Manager or his/her designee, either: (i) the insurer shall reduce or eliminate such deductibles or self-insured retentions as respects to City, its elected officials, officers, officials, employees, agents and volunteers: or (ii) Contractor shall provide a financial guarantee, satisfactory to City Manager or his/her designee, guaranteeing payment of losses and related investigations, claim administration and defense expenses. At no time shall City be responsible for the payment of any deductibles or self-insured retentions.

All policies of insurance required hereunder shall be endorsed to provide that the coverage shall not be cancelled, non-renewed, reduced in coverage or in limits except after 30 calendar day written notice has been given to City. Upon issuance by the insurer, broker, or agent of a notice of cancellation, non-renewal, or reduction in coverage or in limits, Contractor shall furnish City with a new certificate and applicable endorsements for such policy(ies). In the event any policy is due to expire during the work to be performed for City, Contractor shall provide a new certificate, and applicable endorsements, evidencing renewal of such policy not less than 15 calendar days prior to the expiration date of the expiring policy.

The General Liability and Automobile Liability insurance policies shall be written on an occurrence form and shall name City, its elected officials, officers, officials, employees, agents and volunteers as an additional insured. Such policy(ies) of insurance shall be endorsed so Contractor’s insurance shall be primary and no contribution shall be required of City, its elected officials, officers, officials, employees, agents and volunteers. The coverage shall contain no special limitations on the scope of protection afforded to City, its elected officials, officers, officials, employees, agents or volunteers. The Workers’ Compensation insurance policy shall contain a waiver of subrogation as to City, its elected officials, officers, officials, employees, agents and volunteers.

If the Professional Liability (Errors and Omissions) insurance policy is written on a claimsmade form:

1. The retroactive date must be shown, and must be before the effective date of the Agreement or the commencement of work by Contractor.

2. Insurance must be maintained and evidence of insurance must be provided for at least 3 years after any expiration or termination of the Agreement or, in the alternative, the policy shall be endorsed to provide not less than a 3-year discovery period.

3. If coverage is canceled or non-renewed, and not replaced with another claims-made policy form with a retroactive date prior to the effective date of the Agreement or the commencement of work by Contractor, Contractor must

Page 64 of 178 ends

purchase extended reporting coverage for a minimum of 3 years following the expiration or termination of the Agreement.

4. A copy of the claims reporting requirements must be submitted to City for review.

5. These requirements shall survive expiration or termination of the Agreement.

Contractor shall furnish City with all certificate(s) and applicable endorsements effecting coverage required hereunder. All certificates and applicable endorsements are to be received by City and approved by City Manager or his/her designee prior to City’s execution of the Agreement and before work commences. Upon request of City, Contractor shall immediately furnish City with a complete copy of any insurance policy required under this Agreement, including all endorsements, with said copy certified by the underwriter to be a true and correct copy of the original policy. This requirement shall survive expiration or termination of this Agreement.

If at any time during the life of this Agreement or any extension, Contractor or any of its subcontractors fail to maintain any required insurance in full force and effect, all work under this Agreement shall be discontinued immediately, and all payments due or that become due to Contractor shall be withheld until notice is received by City that the required insurance has been restored to full force and effect and that the premiums therefore have been paid for a period satisfactory to City. Any failure to maintain the required insurance shall be sufficient cause for City to terminate this Agreement. No action taken by City hereunder shall in any way relieve Contractor of its responsibilities under this Agreement.

The fact that insurance is obtained by Contractor shall not be deemed to release or diminish the liability of Contractor, including, without limitation, liability under the indemnity provisions of this Agreement. The duty to indemnify City and its elected officials, officers, officials, employees, agents and volunteers shall apply to all claims and liability regardless of whether any insurance policies are applicable. The policy limits do not act as a limitation upon the amount of indemnification to be provided by Contractor. Approval or purchase of any insurance contracts or policies shall in no way relieve from liability nor limit the liability of Contractor, its principals, officers, employees, agents, persons under the supervision of Contractor, vendors, suppliers, invitees, Contractors, subcontractors, or anyone employed directly or indirectly by any of them.

If Contractor should subcontract all or any portion of the services to be performed under this Agreement, Contractor shall require each subcontractor to provide insurance protection in favor of City, its elected officials, officers, officials, employees, agents and volunteers in accordance with the terms of each of the preceding paragraphs, except that the subcontractors' certificates and endorsements shall be on file with Contractor and City prior to the commencement of any work by the subcontractor.

Dear City of La Mesa,
Home Start, Inc. is pleased to submit this proposal to perform and administer Homeless Navigation Services for the City of La Mesa.

Home Start is well-positioned to operate a Homeless Navigation Services Program for individuals or families experiencing homelessness in the City of La Mesa. In collaboration with the City’s HOME (Homeless Outreach & Mobile Engagement) Program, two Home Start Housing Specialists will perform street-based outreach to engage and build rapport with unsheltered individuals and families experiencing homelessness in La Mesa. Our experienced Housing Specialists will identify highly motivated clients, connect clients to resources, and identify emergency and permanent supportive housing solutions.

These two staff will engage landlords to assist individuals to obtain permanent housing.

Home Start will utilize its extensive experience in landlord engagement practices. The Housing Specialists will foster current relationships with housing providers while obtaining new opportunities on an ongoing basis to ensure units are available when the need arises. Additionally, Home Start will utilize its own internal housing programs to provide resources and housing options for La Mesa’s unhoused residents.

Through this joint effort, Home Start will also identify services needed and provide linkages to existing Home Start services as well as external resources. Home Start staff will connect identified individuals to services which will include housing navigation, crisis intervention, motel voucher assistance and flexible housing assistance. Assistance will be tailored based on the needs of the individual to achieve housing stability and sustainability. Home Start staff will also assist with the payment, administration, and reporting requirements for the La Mesa HOME program.

Thank you for your consideration of Home Start, Inc. for this collaboration.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to myself, Geof Lippert (Director of Housing) or Karina Hernandez (Housing Program Manager).

Warm regards,
Laura Tancredi-Baese, LCSW

1 B) Scope of Work
The Home Start Homeless Navigation Services Program’s (HNSP) goal is to assist and find emergency and permanent housing solutions for those experiencing homelessness in the City of La Mesa and are participants of the City’s HOME program. The HNSP staff will work closely with program participants to overcome barriers and develop individualized housing plans for clients identified by the HOME team and who want to work towards permanent housing solutions. The HNSP will assess housing barriers and help households identify strengths to achieve housing stability. The HNSP will provide referrals and resources to unhoused neighbors that will help with long-term housing stability such as applying for benefits, employment training, ways to increase their income, or programs to address substance use disorders. The HNSP staff will utilize internal resources for transitional aged youth (18-24) and survivors of domestic violence, in collaboration with community partners for additional resources. The HNSP will work closely with the La Mesa HOME team to ensure the clients are “document-ready” to transition into emergency motel voucher temporary housing or a permanent housing solution with the goal of providing permanent housing to 12 individuals annually.

1. Additional Housing Opportunities: The Home Start Homeless Navigation Services Program (HNSP) will work with local property managers, landlords, and housing professionals that accept housing vouchers, rental assistance, and with those who struggle with credit, tenancy, and/or criminal records. The HNSP staff will create additional housing opportunities, maintain a housing inventory, and provide the La Mesa HOME team with a list of available units on a regular basis. The HNSP will coordinate housing opportunities for those working with the La Mesa HOME team and collaboratively work with case managers, outreach staff, and landlords to meet the needs of participants and ensure housing solutions.

Page 73 of 178 ends

2 2. Motel/Hotel Voucher Program: Home Start HNSP will create and manage a motel/hotel voucher program for those enrolled in the La Mesa HOME program and awaiting permanent housing. The HNSP will coordinate with local and regional motels to secure rooms that will be available upon request of the La Mesa HOME team. The HNSP will provide intensive case management with the participants enrolled in the voucher program as they transition into permanent housing. The HNSP will summarize the number of persons served, motel stays provided, and expenditures incurred in a quarterly report.

3. List of Available Units: Home Start Housing Specialists will submit to the La Mesa HOME team a list of available units at a minimum of every two weeks. They will then match housing opportunities with homeless individuals in the La Mesa HOME program.

Lastly, they will work alongside the homeless individual to confirm they are “documentready” to transition into a temporary or permanent supportive housing unit.

4. Flexible Housing Funds: Funds will be used to support the HNSP and the La Mesa HOME program participants and their diverse needs to assist them in obtaining or retaining their housing. Examples of Flexible Housing Funds uses include:
a. Rental Applications
b. Move-in cost assistance
c. Utility deposits
d. Re-location or reunification
assistance
e. Transportation assistance (gas card,
bus pass, car repairs, etc.)
f. Food and hygiene
g. Obtaining documentation assistance
(IDs, birth certificates, etc.)
h. Clothing (for job interviews,
uniform, or to meet potential
landlords

Page 74 of 178 ends

3 5. Assessment and Referral: The Homeless Navigation Services Program (HNSP) Program staff will work closely with the La Mesa HOME team to assess housing barriers and help identify strengths to achieve housing stability. The Program staff will provide follow-up, referrals, and resources to help clients secure housing. The HNSP will utilize internal resources for Transitional Aged Youth which can include our HOY (Housing Our Youth) program and bridge housing in the city of La Mesa. The Program can also refer clients who are survivors of domestic violence to Home Start services to help survivors exit homelessness and return to permanent housing. Our Domestic Violence services include emergency shelter, temporary housing, and funding for survivors to move into permanent housing.

The HNSP staff and the La Mesa HOME team will work together to help individuals who are seeking SUD (substance use disorder) treatment to find treatment programs that fit their needs. The HNP will work closely with community partner McAlister Institute for direct referrals to outpatient treatment services.

Home Start, Inc. will provide the following services:
• Provide landlord engagement and housing navigation services • Maintain staff to serve the needs of the program
• Provide assistance in English, Spanish, and Arabic
• Maintain a webpage with information in English, Spanish, and Arabic • Coordinate with the City’s La Mesa HOME program to identify new referrals and actively work with the City to provide housing opportunities within the San Diego County region
• Work with clients to create long-term stabilization plans by connecting to benefits, other funding streams, and increasing income

Page 75 of 178 ends

4 • Provide additional homelessness diversion services when necessary • Provide linkage and referrals to other resources throughout the County to assist with housing stability
• Maintain complete records of applications and documents submitted; provide all records to the City in electronic format
• Provide fiscal, administration, and reporting assistance to the La Mesa HOME Program
• Provide the City with monthly updates and outcomes

6. Supplemental Outreach Services: The Homeless Navigation Services Program staff will participate in street-based outreach efforts with the La Mesa HOME team on an asneeded basis. They will work together to build trust and rapport to help connect the most vulnerable clients to resources that can help end their homelessness. The HNSP will work with identified individuals on housing navigation, crisis intervention, and flexible housing assistance when appropriate. Assistance will be customized on a case-by-case basis and used to help achieve housing stability and sustainability.

Home Start collaborates with other service providers such as PATH, McAlister Institute, County Mental Health, Family Health Centers of San Diego (FHCSD), and Salvation Army to provide wraparound services to help clients with addressing their health and housing needs. Home Start also participates and leads the monthly ECHTF Coordinated Outreach meeting, where it allows for providers, law enforcement, city officials, and community members to talk about concerns, collaborate, and learn about services.

7. Reporting Requirements: Program will use the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) and the Coordinated Entry System (CES) to collect demographics, complete intake into the program, and track services. The HNSP will utilize the reports

Page 76 of 178 ends

5 made available through the databases to support all reporting requirements for the La Mesa HOME program. Home Start staff will track and assist with reporting, payment of funds, and administration in support of the La Mesa HOME program.

C) Experience and Qualifications
Established in 1972, Home Start has provided housing and housing supportive services for 13 years beginning with our Maternity Housing Program started by our CEO Laura Tancredi-Baese.

Laura has a 25-plus year background in establishing housing programs. This past decade, she worked to purchase and renovate several small housing complexes where we expanded into providing Permanent Supportive Housing and Transitional Housing. Additionally, she started our Thrift Boutique social enterprise and began a Rapid Rehousing Program and outreach services.

These programs are in partnership with the San Diego Housing Commission, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Family and Youth Services Bureau (YSB), and other partners.

Home Start Inc. expanded our housing services to East County in 2019 which includes streetoutreach and youth system housing navigation with the HEAP (Homeless Emergency Aid Program). This began a partnership with the City of Lemon Grove to utilize our HEAP funding to engage and enroll the unsheltered in Lemon Grove.

Services have continued to expand in the East Region with additional street outreach programs, motel/hotel voucher programs, rental and utility assistance programs, housing navigation services, and rapid re-housing programs.

In May of 2020, Home Start began its partnership with the City of El Cajon by implementing a motel/hotel voucher program for unhoused residents of the City and a rental and utility assistance program for residents who had been financially impacted by COVID-19. Home Start served 202 clients from May 2020 to June 2021. Additionally, in September of 2020, Home Start partnered

Page 77 of 178 ends

This ensures she is aware of all current needs of homeless individuals in our community, including East Region.

In August 2020, Karina Hernandez was onboarded to Home Start, where she was able to bring knowledge, rapport with clients and partnerships to implement this program. Ms. Hernandez has been involved with homeless services in the East County for seven years and oversees the Homeless Outreach Team, TAY Care Coordination Team Lead and our Prevention Team Lead.

She chairs the East County Homeless Task Force (ECHTF) monthly Coordinated Outreach meeting and is active in the ECHTF Shelter and Housing meetings. Ms. Hernandez is a community trainer for Diversion, is part of the Coordinated Entry System work group, and is a site coordinator for the Annual Point-In-Time Count. In her experience, Ms. Hernandez oversaw a Resource Center in El Cajon for our housed neighbors from 2015-2020, a rapid re-housing case manager for survivors of domestic violence, and the Housing Navigator for the City of El Cajon program from 2017-2020. Ms. Hernandez brings knowledge, experience, rapport, and partnerships to the Homeless Navigation Services Program. She will be able to hire, train, and oversee the HNSP staff.

B. Scope of Work: The Scope of Work is to be included as an exhibit to the contract. The HNP will have a demonstrated ability to provide resources and housing options for people experiencing homelessness in La Mesa. The HNP will coordinate closely with the HOME team regarding emergency and permanent supportive housing needs. The City is interested in created additional permanent supportive housing units by working with local landlords to set aside existing apartment units. Additionally, the City seeks a qualified HNP with experience managing a motel voucher program to provide temporary housing options. The following is not intended as an exhaustive list but an overall description of general activities that would be undertaken as part of this contract:

1. Additional Housing Opportunities: HNP staff will engage landlords of local and regional apartment properties to create additional housing opportunities.

Page 85 of 178 ends

3. List of Available Units: The HNP will provide the HOME team with a list of available units on a regular basis and coordinate housing opportunities with homeless individuals working with the HOME program. The HNP will assist the HOME team by working with the homeless to ensure that they are “document-ready” to transition into a temporary or permanent supportive housing unit.

4. Flexible Housing Funds: The City’s ARPA allocation also provides for the use of Flexible Housing Funds to support the HOME program. The HNP will also assist residents who need access to temporary housing or are living in their vehicles. Flex funds will assist with various types of needs. Such funds will allow the HNP to meet the diverse needs of people at risk of becoming homeless or experiencing homelessness in La Mesa. There are numerous ways that Flexible Housing Funds can be used to assist residents in retaining their housing (Prevention) or avoiding homelessness (Diversion). Examples of Flex Housing Fund uses include:
a. Rental applications
b. Utility deposits
c. Move-in cost assistance
d. Re-location, or reunification assistance
e. Transportation (gas card, bus pass, car repairs, etc.) f. Food and hygiene
g. Obtaining documentation assistance (ID’s, birth certificate, etc.) The HNP is encouraged to provide additional examples of Flexible Housing Funds that may benefit the program.

5. Assessment and Referral: The Housing Navigation program staff will assess housing barriers and identify a household’s strengths to achieve long term stability in housing. The HNP will provide referrals and linkages to other assistance programs to ensure clients apply and secure housing. Follow up services will be provided to all clients including referrals to internal and external resources. As many of the unhoused individuals in La Mesa may have substance use disorders (SUD), the HNP in conjunction with HOME, will coordinate with outpatient SUD treatment facilities and detox centers as needed. The age range of unsheltered individuals varies greatly. The HNP will have the capacity to utilize internal resources for transitional aged youth and victims of domestic violence, while collaborating with community partners for additional assistance.

The HNP shall have the ability to provide the following services:

REPORT to the MAYOR and MEMBERS of the CITY COUNCIL
From the CITY MANAGER
DATE: September 13, 2022
SUBJECT: AWARDING OF THE PURCHASE OF FOUR FORD

POLICE INTERCEPTOR HYBRID UTILITY VEHICLES
FOR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND TWO FORD F150 TRUCKS FOR THE PUBLIC WORKS

DEPARTMENT TO PENSKE FORD
ISSUING DEPARTMENT: Police/Public Works
SUMMARY:

Issues:

1. Should the City Council adopt the resolution to award Penske Ford the purchase of four Ford Police Interceptor Hybrid Utility vehicles for the Police Department?

2. Should the City Council adopt the resolution to award Penske Ford the purchase of two Ford F-150 trucks for the Public Works Department? Recommendation:

1. That the City Council adopt the resolution to award Penske Ford the purchase of four Ford Police Interceptor Utility Hybrid vehicles for the Police Department.

2. That the City Council adopt the resolution to award Penske Ford the purchase of two Ford F-150 trucks for the Public Works Department.

Fiscal Impact:

The quoted cost for the purchase of the four Police Hybrid Interceptors is $218,829.88 and funds are budgeted and available in Equipment Replacement Fund account 1315-6585, projects 23.EPD24-27. The quoted cost for the purchase of the two Public Works trucks is $77,863.14 and funds are budgeted

and available in Equipment Replacement Fund account 1315-6585, projects

23.EPW04-05.

City’s Strategic Goals:
 Safe community
 Continue to improve high quality municipal services
Climate Action Plan Reduction Strategy:
 T-6 Municipal Fleet – Promote efforts that transition municipal vehicle fleet from gasoline- and diesel-powered vehicles to alternative-fuel or lowemissions vehicles.

BACKGROUND:

The City’s fleet includes vehicles in multiple departments with various functions to protect the public’s safety and maintain the public infrastructure. The Police Department marked police vehicle inventory is on a standard replacement schedule.

The Fiscal Year 2022/2023 budget allows for four patrol vehicles to be replaced due to high mileage, wear and tear from all-day use, and the excessive expenses related to maintaining vehicles out of warranty.

The Public Works Parks Maintenance Division currently operates two, 18-year-old GMC Sierra 1500 trucks in the Parks Division. These trucks are becoming more difficult to maintain, prone to breakdowns and repairs, and are inefficient in fuel use.

In 2018, the City adopted the Climate Action Plan (CAP) that includes a greenhouse gas reduction goal of 53% by 2035. The CAP provides a list of measures and actions to explore in order to achieve this goal, including transitioning municipal vehicle fleet from gasoline and diesel-powered vehicles to alternative-fuel or other low-emissions vehicles.

The FY19-22 CAP Implementation Plan Measure T-6, Municipal Fleet, includes exploring opportunities to integrate alternative fuel options and more efficient vehicles, including hybrid, into the City's fleet as older vehicles become eligible for replacement.

In 2019, the City's fleet was analyzed as part of technical assistance provided by the San Diego Clean Cities Coalition and future opportunities continue to be explored.

Currently, there is not an electric vehicle (EV) option for police that would be readily available to put into patrol duty. The current lack of charging infrastructure and the structure of the police department patrol vehicle use does not make for the ideal

Page 90 of 178 ends

Report to Mayor and Councilmembers
Date: September 13, 2022
Page: 3 of 4
circumstances for conversion to EV at this time. The vehicles used in patrol are rotated throughout the day and night and used by each patrol shift, which would leave very little time for charging. Also, if there is a mutual aid callout, officers may have to drive to rural areas for multiple days that may not have charging capabilities.

EV options for trucks are very limited and sold out into the foreseeable future. The Ford F-150 Lightning is not currently suitable for department use as it is only available with a crew cab and short bed. Public works needs requires these trucks to have regular cabs and long beds for hauling equipment and materials.

DISCUSSION:

The City received quotes from the two Ford dealerships in San Diego County that sell Police Hybrid Interceptors and have supplied the City in previous years, Kearny Mesa Ford and Penske Ford, as well as a third quote for comparison from the cooperative purchasing contract Sourcewell in lieu of conducting a formal bid process that may have required purchasing the vehicles from an unfamiliar dealer outside of our region.

The quotes included four hybrid units matching the existing fleet. The hybrid units use a lithium-ion hybrid battery to power on-board electrical equipment, allowing the engine to shut off, running only intermittently to charge the battery. Penske Ford had the lowest quote at $54,707.47 per hybrid vehicle, including taxes, fees and white paint.

The City also received a quote from Penske Ford for two Ford F-150 trucks that are in-transit to the dealership. Staff examined current options for the most efficient vehicles for these needs. The F-150 XL regular cab trucks for Public Works come with a standard 3.3L V6 engine with flex-fuel capacity and also include the auto startstop technology. These trucks do not have the hybrid option, which is only offered for the larger crew cab and not suitable for Public Works needs. A smaller 2.7L V6 EcoBoost engine is available, but the improvement in efficiency is minimal and due to their twin turbos they are more expensive to purchase, maintain and repair. The standard 3.3L V6 engine is uniform with other vehicles in the fleet, reducing the need for additional parts and supplies. Due to the very long order time currently for vehicles, which was eight months for the previous order, staff believes that it would be beneficial to purchase the in-transit vehicles that could go into service this month.

Penske Ford’s quote is $38,931.58 per truck including taxes and fees.

The City's Purchasing Officer may waive formal competitive bidding if the commodity being purchased is required to match or be compatible with equipment presently on hand, and the purchase is made from the supplier that supplied such other equipment, per La Mesa Municipal Code Section 2.40.070(a)(3). Purchasing hybrid Ford Police Interceptor Utility vehicles and outfitting them to match existing units will

Page 91 of 178 ends

Report to Mayor and Councilmembers
Date: September 13, 2022
Page: 4 of 4
keep patrol fleet consistent for both officers and fleet maintenance. Purchasing F-150 regular cab, long-bed trucks will keep the Public Works fleet consistent with a reliable vehicle that has lower emissions than the trucks they are replacing.

Under these facts, the circumstances are that Penske Ford has previously provided Police Interceptors to the City and can provide the similar vehicles again at a cost that is less than Kearny Mesa Ford; and, as such, staff recommends that it is in the best interests of the City to award the purchase of four hybrid Ford Police Interceptor Utility vehicles to Penske Ford without a formal bidding process. Additional circumstances are that Penske Ford has previously provided F-150 trucks to the City and can provide the similar vehicles again right away; and, as such, staff recommends that it is in the best interests of the City to award the purchase of two Ford F-150 trucks to Penske Ford without a formal bidding process.

CONCLUSION:

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the resolution to award the purchase of four Ford Police Interceptor Utility vehicles for the Police Department and two Ford F150 trucks for the Public Works Department to Penske Ford.

City’s Strategic Goals:
 Safe community
 Maintain a financially sound and affordable city government BACKGROUND:

The FY 2021 SHSGP plays an important role in the implementation of Presidential Policy Directive – 8 (PPD-8) by supporting the development and sustainment of core capabilities to fulfill the National Preparedness Goal (NPG). SHSGP supports the implementation of state Homeland Security Strategies to address the identified planning, organization, equipment, training, and exercise needs to prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to, and recover from acts of terrorism and other catastrophic events. The City of La Mesa has been allocated $46,234.

The Fire Department has been the lead for the City while working closely with the Police Department and Public Works. We have employed a unified strategy for determining the public safety equipment needs for the City. The Police Department is required to receive a minimum of 25 percent of the SHSGP grant to replace the Law Enforcement Terrorism Prevention Program (LETPP) grant. A workbook for La Mesa containing equipment, training, and planning needs was submitted to the State for approval and approval was received from San Diego County OES on July 28, 2022.

The FY 2021 State Homeland Security grant funding will be utilized by both the Police and Fire Departments. The Fire Department will receive $36,386 to purchase portable radios. The Police Department will receive $9,848 in funding to purchase portable radios. Actual items may change if modification is requested by the departments and approved by the granting agency.

CONCLUSION:

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution to accept the FY 2021 State Homeland Security Grant and appropriate the amount of the award.

Report to Mayor and Councilmembers
Date: September 13, 2022
Page: 2 of 3
Environmental Review:

After conducting an Initial Study in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines, staff has concluded that the project will not have an adverse impact on the environment. A Negative Declaration has been prepared for consideration.

BACKGROUND:

The City Council considered and adopted the Housing Element of the General Plan 6th Cycle Update on July 27, 2021 (Attachment B). The resolution adopting the Update provided that staff could make non-legislative technical updates as requested by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). The Housing Element Update was submitted to HCD in August 2021. HCD provided a letter dated October 29, 2021 (Attachment C), requesting revisions to the Update to provide additional information and more specific wording regarding affirmatively furthering fair housing (AFFH) and regarding the sites identified to meet La Mesa’s housing need. The letter also requested revised wording in the resolution adopting the Housing Element Update to better link the evidence regarding identified sites in the Housing Element to the findings in the resolution.

The requested updates for additional information and more specific wording in the Housing Element Update document constitute non-legislative technical updates.

Staff has been working with the City’s Housing Element consultant, Veronica Tam and Associates (VTA), to complete the revisions needed for the document.

Revisions are nearly complete and resubmittal of the Housing Element Update to HCD is targeted for later this month.

DISCUSSION:

An additional recital has been added to the resolution previously adopted by the City Council, as follows:

WHEREAS, the 6th Cycle Housing Element update identifies sites where property owners have expressed interest, which has recently been reaffirmed, or have initiated the application process for, development of residential or mixed-use projects and discontinuation or modification of existing uses, which is anticipated within the 6th Cycle planning period; Staff explored resolutions adopting Housing Elements of other jurisdictions and HCD guidance to develop this additional recital, and consulted with VTA and the City Attorney on its wording. The Housing Element of the General Plan 6th Cycle Update revised with the non-legislative technical updates would be resubmitted to HCD upon the adoption of the attached resolution.

Greg Humora, City Manager
City of La Mesa
8130 Allison Avenue
La Mesa, CA, 91942
Dear Greg Humora:

RE: La Mesa’s 6th Cycle (2021-2029) Adopted Housing Element Thank you for submitting the City of La Mesa’s (City) housing element adopted July 27, 2021 and received for review on August 2, 2021. Pursuant to Government Code section 65585, subdivision (h), the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) is reporting the results of its review.

The adopted housing element addresses most requirements described in HCD’s April 16, 2021 letter; however, additional revisions are necessary to fully comply with State Housing Element Law. The revisions needed are as follows:

1. Affirmatively further[ing] fair housing in accordance with Chapter 15 (commencing with Section 8899.50) of Division 1 of Title 2 shall include an assessment of fair housing in the jurisdiction. (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (c)(10)(A).) Sites: The element provides information regarding sites and affirmatively furthering fair housing for various components (e.g., segregation and integration, access to opportunity). However, the analysis should also address disproportionate housing needs, including displacement risk.

Local Data and Knowledge: The element was not revised to address this requirement.

Please see HCD’s prior review letter.

Goals and Actions: The element must be revised to add or modify goals and actions based on the outcomes of a complete analysis. Goals and actions must be significant and meaningful enough to overcome identified fair housing issues and must have specific commitment, metrics and milestones. For example, Program 20 (Fair Housing Services) generally must be revised with metrics, milestones, and specific commitment to AFFH. Actions must address housing mobility enhancement, new housing choices and affordability in high opportunity areas, place-based strategies for community preservation and revitalization and displacement protection.

October 29, 2021

2. An inventory of land suitable and available for residential development, including vacant sites and sites having realistic and demonstrated potential for redevelopment during the planning period to meet the locality’s housing need for a designated income level, and an analysis of the relationship of zoning and public facilities and services to these sites. (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (a)(3).)
Nonvacant Sites: As noted in the April 16, 2021 review, the City is relying on nonvacant sites to accommodate more than 50 percent of its housing needs for lowerincome households. As a result, as part of the resolution to adopt the housing element, the City must make findings based on substantial evidence pursuant to Government Code section 65583.2, subdivision (g)(2). While the City’s resolution to adopt the housing element does include a generic finding that uses will discontinue, the finding lacks a clear link to substantial evidence in the element. For example, several sites note an expressed interest in development but there is no clear link of this evidence to the finding in the resolution. Also, some of the concluding statements in the element are unclear if interest in development is residential. Further, based on public comment, supporting information that property owners have expressed interest in residential development appears to be lacking and some sites (e.g., Alvarado Specific Plan) provide no information or evidence on whether uses will discontinue or be available in the planning period. Finally, in response to public comments, several sites intended for above moderate-income households may have constraints, conditions or existing uses that impede development. As a result, the element should include additional supporting information and evidence to demonstrate sites are suitable for development, including redevelopment, in the planning period or remove sites if appropriate and revise findings as part of re-adoption.

Small Sites: The element identifies several small sites (less than 0.5 acres) that appear to have potential for consolidation and demonstrates recent success using provisions in the mixed-use urban land use designation. However, the element is not clear whether this designation and provisions to encourage consolidation apply to all small sites identified to accommodate the housing need for lower income households.

The element should include additional analysis or remove sites and add or modify programs as appropriate.

Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs): The element assumes 80 ADUs per year for the planning period toward the housing needs of moderate-income households. This assumption was based on 78 ADUs permitted in 2020. However, in HCD records gathered since the review of the draft housing element, 46 ADUs were reported in the City’s annual progress report (Gov. Code § 65400) for the year 2020. The City should either reconcile these records or scale back assumptions and should add or modify programs as appropriate, including additional incentives to promote ADUs.

The element will meet the statutory requirements of State Housing Element Law once it has been revised to comply with the above requirements.

Pursuant to Government Code section 65583.3, subdivision (b), the City must utilize standards, forms, and definitions adopted by HCD when preparing the sites inventory.

Please see HCD’s housing element webpage at https://www.hcd.ca.gov/communitydevelopment/housing-element/index.shtml for a copy of the form and instructions. To date, HCD has not received the electronic sites inventory to address the above requirements. The City can reach out to HCD at [email protected] for technical assistance.

Several federal, state, and regional funding programs consider housing element compliance as an eligibility or ranking criteria. For example, the CalTrans Senate Bill (SB) 1 Sustainable Communities grant; the Strategic Growth Council and HCD’s Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities programs; and HCD’s Permanent Local Housing Allocation consider housing element compliance and/or annual reporting requirements pursuant to Government Code section 65400. With a compliant housing element, the City will meet housing element requirements for these and other funding sources.

HCD appreciates the hard work and dedication the City’s housing element team provided throughout the housing element review. We are committed to assisting the City in addressing all statutory requirements of State Housing Element Law. If HCD can provide assistance in implementing the housing element, please contact Jose Ayala, of our staff, at [email protected].

Sincerely,
Paul McDougall
Senior Program Manager

BACKGROUND:

In 2018, the City of La Mesa was named an Age Friendly City and became a member of the AARP-World Health Organization Age-Friendly Network in San Diego County.

In June 2022, the Community Services Department applied for an Age-Friendly Grant from San Diego Foundation for La Mesita Park Fitness Plaza (phase 1). The grant aims to support older adult-serving initiatives within municipalities that are members of the network.

Phase 2 of the project will include shade sails, site improvements and rubberized surface tiles and is currently unfunded.

The 2012 City of La Mesa Park Master Plan recommended that outdoor fitness equipment be added to La Mesita Park to enhance the recreational opportunities, based on community input and space available.

DISCUSSION:

San Diego Foundation has awarded the City of La Mesa $40,000 for the La Mesita Fitness Plaza (phase 1) which will include installing a seven-piece outdoor fitness system to a portion of the existing concrete pad adjacent to the playground. This will provide inclusive fitness opportunities to those with disabilities, engage our senior demographic, facilitate training for all fitness levels, activate an unused area in the park, and create exercise activities for parents while children are at sports practices and/or on playground.

The grant period is 12 months from the award date.

SUBJECT: Consideration of Parking Commission Recommendation for La Mesa Village Enhancement Fund Program
Funding and Approving a Resolution Appropriating funds
from the Downtown Parking Fund to the Fiscal Year
2022-2023 Downtown Village Enhancement Fund
Budget
ISSUING DEPARTMENT: City Manager
SUMMARY:

Issues:

1. Should the City Council approve the Parking Commission’s recommendation for La Mesa Village Enhancement Fund Program Funding?

2. Should the City Council approve a resolution appropriating $54,910 from the Downtown Parking Fund to the Fiscal Year 2022-2023 Downtown Village Enhancement Fund budget?

1. Approve the Parking Commission’s recommendation for La Mesa Village Enhancement Fund Program Funding.

2. Adopt a resolution appropriating $54,910 from the Downtown Parking Fund to the Fiscal Year 2022-2023 Downtown Village Enhancement Fund budget.

Fiscal Impact:

Report to Mayor and Councilmembers
Date: September 13, 2022
Page: 2 of 4
revenue available totals $54,910 for Fiscal Year 2022-2023. Adoption of a resolution is necessary to appropriate these funds to the Village Enhancement Fund Program budget.

City’s Strategic Goals:
 Continue to improve high quality municipal services
 Enhanced recreation and quality of life opportunities BACKGROUND:

In September of 2019, the La Mesa City Council approved the La Mesa Village Enhancement Fund Program (VEF Program) as a one-year pilot program. The purpose of the VEF Program is to encourage ongoing investment in the Downtown Village and incentivize additional entertainment opportunities for residents and families by creating a program where non-profit organizations and private businesses can apply for funds to finance events, promotions, programs, and advertising to the benefit of the businesses in the Downtown Village. The program is funded using 50% of annual net parking revenues (revenues minus expenditures and interfund transfers) from the prior fiscal year. All activities funded by the VEF Program must occur within the Parking District to be eligible for funding. The role of the Community Parking Commission in the program’s application process is to make recommendations to the City Council annually as to which applications should receive funding. A key program goal is that applications must be able to demonstrate a public benefit to the businesses within the Parking District. In May of 2021, staff provided a one-year update of the VEF Program and the City Council directed staff to continue the program.

DISCUSSION:

The City began accepting applications on July 1, 2022, for a period of thirty-one days until July 31, 2022. The City received the following four (4) applications:

Event/Advertisement/ Amount
Applicant Promotion Date Requested

McFarlane 2022 Oktoberfest 9/30/22 to 10/2/22 $38,620
LMVA 2022 Holiday in the Village 12/3/22 to 12/3/22 $40,222 LMVA 2022 Car Show 6/1/23 to 8/24/23 $15,000
LMVA 2022/23 Advertisement FY2022-2023 $20,852
TOTAL FUNDING REQUEST $114,694

Page 141 of 178 ends

Report to Mayor and Councilmembers
Date: September 13, 2022
Page: 3 of 4
Three applications are for special events and one application is for a Downtown Village advertisement campaign. The total funding amount requested is $114,694 and the available funding is $54,910. Staff has attached the applications to this report (Attachment B). The program application includes a breakdown of costs to fund the activity.

At the August 16, 2022, Community Parking Commission meeting, staff presented the four applications for the Commission’s consideration. Representatives from the La Mesa Village Association and McFarlane Promotions were in attendance to provide brief presentations regarding their requests and to answer questions from Commissioners.

After presentations by the applicants and a question and answer period, the Community Parking Commission deliberated on the item and recommended the City Council fund the four applications as follows:

Event/Advertisement/ Amount
Applicant Promotion Date Recommended

McFarlane 2022 Oktoberfest 9/30/22 to 10/2/22 $20,000
LMVA 2022 Holiday in the Village 12/3/22 to 12/3/22 $15,000 LMVA 2022 Car Show 6/1/22 to 8/24/23 $7,000
LMVA 2022/23 Advertisement FY2022-2023 $12,910
TOTAL $54,910
The 2022 Oktoberfest event is planned for the first weekend in October which is consistent with past year’s events. In 2021, the Holiday in the Village event was changed to a one-day event and is currently proposed as such with no significant changes. The Classic Car Show will continue to run from June to late August in 2023. The advertisement campaign proposed by the La Mesa Village Association will include billboard advertising through the winter and summer months of Fiscal Year 2022-2023, radio advertising, and Dine|Shop|Explore branding on the interior of MTS trolley cars.

CONCLUSION:

Staff recommends the City Council approve the Community Parking Commission’s recommendation for La Mesa Village Enhancement Fund Program funding and approve a resolution appropriating $54,910 from the Downtown Parking Fund to the Fiscal Year 2022-2023 Downtown Village Enhancement Fund budget.

The landscape of public community events in a post-pandemic climate has completely transformed making it nearly impossible to host events of the magnitude of the La Mesa Oktoberfest. This event will need support to continue into the future, as we navigate inflation, increased labor costs due to shortages and new increased pricing structures from suppliers. It is imperative to the success of this La Mesa tradition that it has community support and funding assistance from the City of La Mesa.

We also realize that the La Mesa Oktoberfest is not alone in this need which is why we have only requested a slight increase from our 2021 grant amount.

THE LANDSCAPE OF PUBLIC COMMUNITY EVENTS IN A POSTPANDEMIC CLIMATE HAS COMPLETELY TRANSFORMED MAKING IT

NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO HOST EVENTS OF THE MAGNITUDE OF THE LA MESA OKTOBERFEST. THIS EVENT WILL NEED SUPPORT TO

SUCCESS OF THIS LA MESA TRADITION THAT IT HAS COMMUNITY SUPPORT AND FUNDING ASSISTANCE FROM THE CITY OF LA MESA.

WE ALSO REALIZE THAT THE LA MESA OKTOBERFEST IS NOT ALONE

After several years, the old La Mesa Oktoberfest website is outdated, clunky and cumbersome to the user. We have developed a new website flow with a modern website flow, a design based around movement with functionality and user flow design for a friendly user experience.

2022 La Mesa Holiday in the Village hours will be 12/3/22 from 12pm to 9pm. It will feature over 75 holiday, food, and craft booths oriented to a family-friendly event just like the ones held in 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021. There will be 3 fire pits, a dance stage, a mobile performance stage, and several performance areas for live holiday music. Vendors will be bringing in their own tents and providing their own power and lights, as needed, by generators as permitted separately by the City. In addition, power for stages and dance floors will be by a city-approved electrical subcontractor to tie into existing power sources in light poles and tree wells, as needed. The event promoter and organizer, McFarlane Promotions, Inc., will oversee the operations of the event with the assistance of the La Mesa Village Association (LMVA). We are requesting zero cost recovery from the city, and that the city cover the cost of detour, road closure, and adjusted parking hour signs including the setup and removal of the signs.

The LMVA believes having special events as the Holiday in the heart of the La Mesa’s Village is beneficial for the businesses, the public and the city as a whole.

The LMVA is interested in sponsoring the Holiday in the Village based on the overwhelming positive support we have received from the public and village businesses. Over the past six years the Holiday in the Village has brought hundreds of local and distant residents to the downtown Village, creating more sales, visibility, and brand awareness for businesses both within the boundary of the La Mesa Village and adjacent to it. A healthy and

Page 160 of 178 ends

vibrant Holiday in the Village in the heart of La Mesa will continue to be beneficial for the long-term growth and viability for the Village and the City of La Mesa.

Without these funds the LMVA's current event budget does not allow us to fully fund the event upfront and because none of the vendor payments, Oktoberfest proceeds, and sponsorship funds have been received. If we have to pay for the event, we would not be able to assume the financial liability for the event.

The following is a list of our known Operations Expenses we are requesting reimbursement for:
$11,000.00 - Electrical
$ 9,000.00 - Event Planner - McFarlane Promotions, Inc
$ 6,000.00 - Entertainment

2023 Classic Car Show: This event will be held every Thursday from June 1st through August 24th from 5:00pm to 8:00pm. The Car Show will feature pre-1974 cars, trucks and vans exactly the same way as in 2017, 2018, 2019, 2021 and 2022. There will be a street closure on 3rd St. from La Mesa Blvd. to the alley, which is where the bands will be located, we will use the same layout as we have for the last five years. Once again, La Mesa Lumber will be donating a vehicle to be used as the stage. In addition to the bands there will be a DJ located on the corner of 3rd St. and La Mesa Blvd. in front of First Republic Bank.

The La Mesa Village Association (LMVA) believes having special events such as the Classic Car Show in the heart of La Mesa’s Village is beneficial for the businesses, the public and the city as a whole.

The LMVA is interested in sponsoring 29th Annual Classic Car Show because of the whelming positive support we receive from the public and the village businesses. Over the past five years the Classic Car Show has brought hundreds of local and distant residents to the downtown Village, creating more sales, visibility, and brand awareness for businesses both within the boundary of the La Mesa Village and adjacent to it. A healthy and vibrant Classic Car Show in the heart of La Mesa will continue to be beneficial for the long-term growth and visibility for the Village and the City of La Mesa.

REPORT to the MAYOR and MEMBERS of the CITY COUNCIL
From the CITY MANAGER
DATE: September 13, 2022
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION ORDERING THE SUMMARY VACATION

OF EXCESS PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY OF SENECA
PLACE, NORTH OF LOT 1 OF SENECA TRACT, MAP
NO. 1441 AND EAST OF LOT C, PARCEL MAP 1426
DESCRIPTION: VACATION OF A PORTION OF PUBLIC RIGHT-OFWAY, SENECA PLACE ISSUING DEPARTMENT: Public Works
SUMMARY:

Issues:

Should the City of La Mesa vacate its interest in excess public right of way North of Lot 1 of Seneca Tract, Map No. 1441 and East of Lot C, Parcel Map 1426? Recommendation:

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution ordering the summary vacation of excess public right of way dedicated per Subdivision Map 1426 North of Lot 1 of Seneca Tract, Map No. 1441 and East of Lot C, Parcel Map 1426.

Fiscal Impact: None
City’s Strategic Goals:
 Continue to improve high quality municipal services

Page 169 of 178 ends

Report to Mayor and Councilmembers
Date: September 13, 2022
Page: 2 of 3
BACKGROUND:

Subdivision Map, Selina Tract No. 2026, dedicated right of way for Seneca Place.

Subsequent revisions to the intersection design of Seneca Place and Olive Avenue created excess public right of way, north of Lot 1 per Subdivision Map 1441. The adjacent property owner has requested the vacation of excess City public right of way to facilitate development, use and sale of their property. A map of the proposed vacation is included with the Quitclaim deed (Attachment B).

DISCUSSION:

The southern rectangular portion of the existing Seneca Place public right-of-way is not held in fee title by the City. If portions of existing public right-of-way are ever vacated and the City does not hold possession in fee title the property reverts to the underlying property owner.

Section 8334 states that the legislative body of a local agency may summarily vacate any of the following:
(a) An excess right-of-way of a street or highway not required for street or highway purposes.
(b) A portion of a street or highway that lies within property under one ownership and that does not continue through such ownership or end touching property of another.

All conditions of this code sections have been met. The original owners of the property constructed temporary fencing across the portion of public right of way accessing their property once the nursery was abandoned in the late 1990s. No public funds were expended for maintenance of this portion of Seneca Place. The excess portion of the existing right-of-way is not required for public street or highway purposes. All of the property is under common ownership.

With all provision for a summary vacation as described above being met, the City can proceed with a summary vacation of this portion of existing right of way. Notice of Public Hearing on the resolution ordering the summary vacation was posted in the Daily Californian on August 30, 2022 in the manner prescribed by law. No persons presented evidence that said right or way is necessary for present or future public purposes. There is no present or prospective use for the right of way for which it was originally acquired or for any other public use of a like nature that can be anticipated. The right of way for public road purposes has been determined to be excess and there are no other public facilities located within the right of way that is considered for vacation.

(b) A portion of a street or highway lies within property under one ownership and that does not continue through such ownership or end touching property of another.

WHEREAS, the City Council finds that:
