DATE: March 26, 2024
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION APPROVING A PROFESSIONAL

Report to Mayor and Councilmembers
Date: March 26, 2024
Page: 2 of 3
City’s Strategic Goals:
 Nurture an organizational culture where employees are recognized for the delivery of high-quality services to the community.

BACKGROUND:

The City Clerk is the custodian of records for the City and oversees the City’s Records Management Program. In compliance with laws and regulations the City Clerk develops the file plan, storage and retrieval system for storing paper and electronic records.

On May 4, 1998, the City made an administrative award to Empire Computer Solutions (ECS) for a Document Imaging Software System and Services (i.e., Laserfiche).

In 2012, the City Clerk worked with Gladwell Governmental Services, Inc. to update the City’s records management process. During this time Laserfiche was implemented citywide. Since the citywide implementation of Laserfiche in 2012, staff has focused on records with permanent retention such as meeting minutes, resolutions, ordinances, and deeds.

DISCUSSION:

To ensure that the City’s records continue to be easily accessible to staff, transferring the data to the cloud would insure the data from equipment failure and natural disasters.

Moving the records to the cloud provides a built-in solution in the event of a natural disaster. Not only is the data protected but staff can easily access the data they need offsite. The difficulties of trying to connect to an on-premise solution remotely (navigating through virtual private networks or VPNs, firewalls, intranets, etc.) are eliminated when working in a cloud environment. An Internet connection and browser are typically all that is needed to connect to the application.

The use of the cloud for data storage is less demanding on information technology staff time because they do not have to support an onsite network computer server.

In addition, the cloud version of Laserfiche includes a weblink public portal for public access to City records. The updated version also offers a user-friendly interface making it accessible to staff and eventually the public.

Report to Mayor and Councilmembers
Date: March 26, 2024
Page: 3 of 3
CONCLUSION:

Staff recommends the Council adopt the Resolution approving a professional services agreement with ECS Imaging, Inc. to transition the ECMS from on-premise server to the cloud and provide annual maintenance and related services.

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.

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

B. Insurance must be maintained and evidence of insurance must be provided for at least 5 years after completion of the work or termination of the Agreement, whichever first occurs.

C. (iii) 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 work commencement date, Contractor must purchase extended reporting period coverage for a minimum of 5 years after completion of the work or termination of the Agreement, whichever first occurs.

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

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

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,

Page: 2 of 4
BACKGROUND:

California Government Code Section 65400(a)(2) requires the legislative body of all general law cities to consider an annual report on their General Plan’s implementation, including progress on implementation of the individual goals within the General Plan. The document also includes information on the City’s progress in meeting its fair share of regional housing needs. This report must be submitted to the City Council and the State Office of Planning and Research and the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) by April 1st of each year.

The General Plan is the City’s comprehensive planning document and the City Council and Planning Commission are charged with ensuring that public and private development is consistent with the Plan’s goals and policies. Each General Plan is required by State law to address seven specific elements, in addition to which La Mesa has adopted two additional elements. The most recent comprehensive update to the General Plan, covering a 20-year horizon, was approved and a Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) certified by the City Council on July 9, 2013.

The Housing Element of the General Plan, which is required to be updated on an 8-year cycle, was updated in 2023. The newly adopted 6
th Cycle Housing Element (2021-2029),
includes a new section on Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH), new goals to address State housing policies, and an updated inventory of land suitable and available for residential housing.

DISCUSSION:

The 2023 Annual Report – Implementation of the General Plan, covers the time period from January 2023 to December 2023. The report provides an overview of existing, ongoing programs that implement the General Plan’s policies. The report conveys information about current activities and programs in various stages of completion as well as background information about policies addressed in prior years where appropriate.

Each section of the report is organized by goal, objective, and policy, followed by a brief explanation of recent progress made toward completion, for each element listed below.  Land Use & Urban Design Element  Noise Element
 Circulation Element  Safety Element
 Conservation & Sustainability Element  Public Services & Facilities Element  Recreation & Open Space Element  Health & Wellness Element  Historic Preservation Element  Housing Element

Report to Mayor and Councilmembers
Date: March 26, 2024
Page: 3 of 4
Highlights of the report include:

Sustainability:

Furthering goals in the Conservation and Sustainability Element, implementation of the Climate Action Plan (CAP) continued. San Diego Community Power is fully operational with a local participation rate of over 95 percent. The City’s municipal accounts are now using 100 percent renewable electricity. There are currently 18 public electric vehicle charging stations in the City and in 2023 two electric vehicles were added to the City’s fleet. An organics recycling program for businesses, multi-family properties, and municipal facilities is diverting waste from the landfill. In collaboration with Tree San Diego, 160 new trees have been planted.

Transportation:

Transportation and transportation planning projects addressed goals in the Circulation and Public Services & Facilities Elements. The City continued to support the Vision Zero Plan. Work continued on the Complete Streets Integrated Design Manual, which will help integrate low-impact modes of transportation such as microtransit, micromobility, walking, and biking. Over $10.4 million in grant funding is being invested in bike and pedestrian infrastructure improvements.

Community Services:

Furthering goals in the Recreation and Open Space, Public Services and Facilities, and Health and Wellness Elements, improvement and planning activities were underway in the City’s parks. A Recreation and Park Master Plan project is being developed and a park master plan for the City-owned property on Waite Drive was adopted in 2023. A major capital improvement project at Collier Park was recently completed. Through an Age-Friendly Communities grant from the San Diego Foundation, a seven-piece outdoor fitness plaza at La Mesita Park was installed.

Housing:

To monitor how cities are responding to an urgent statewide need for housing, the Housing Element Annual Progress Report matrix (appended to Attachment A ) tracks housing at all stages of development, from discretionary review through occupancy.

Progress made in 2023 towards meeting the City’s the sixth cycle Regional Housing Needs Assessment allocation of 3,797 units includes 154 units of newly entitled housing, 175 units of newly permitted housing, and 142 units receiving certificates of occupancy.

Of the new housing issued permits, 99 units were accessory dwelling units. In addition to furthering goals in the Housing Element, new housing development supports the goals of the Land Use and Urban Design Element which supports preserved and enhanced neighborhoods and facilities, and high-quality development.

2023 General Plan Annual Report page 4
A comprehensive update to the La Mesa General Plan, including an update to the Housing Element, was adopted by the City Council on July 9, 2013. A Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was also certified by the City Council on July 9, 2013. The General Plan will guide future growth and development in the City of La Mesa for a 20-year time frame.

The 2013 General Plan update included a mitigation measure to adopt a Climate Action Plan (CAP). The mitigation measure specifically required the City to develop and implement a plan for reducing greenhouse gas emissions to conform to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Section 15183.5 and established a target to reduce emissions by 15% compared to baseline levels by the year 2020. The City’s CAP, which was adopted in 2018, provides a 2035 target, based on the State’s reduction goals of 40% of 1990 levels by 2030 and 80% by 2050, consistent with the City’s General Plan horizon year. The City is making progress towards meeting the targets.

An overview of new improvements, programming and funding recommendations will be presented in 2024.

Goal LU-2: Residential neighborhoods with strong character and cohesion.

Objective LU-2.1: Maintain and preserve single-family neighborhoods while directing growth to mixed-use corridors.

Policy LU-2.1.1: Enhance single-family residential neighborhoods through programs such as Development Review, Code Enforcement, Historic Preservation, and Capital Improvement Programs.

Progress: The City continued each of these programs in 2023. The Historic Preservation Commission reviewed five applications for alterations to historic properties in single-family neighborhoods and two new requests for landmark designation and Mills Act preservation agreements for single-family residences. The Code Compliance program responded to 247 property maintenance-related code compliance complaints, most of which are located in single-family neighborhoods. Capital Improvement Program undertakings underway by Public Works in 2023 benefitting single-family neighborhoods included the Collier Park Improvements Project.

Policy LU-2.1.2: Support infill development and subdivision proposals that reinforce neighborhood strengths and benefit neighborhood identity.

Progress: The Design Review Board (DRB) reviews new development projects for consistency with the Urban Design Program, which includes an evaluation of neighborhood compatibility. In 2022, the DRB reviewed three applications for new

2023 General Plan Annual Report page 8
development. Two projects were for new residential apartments and one was for mixeduse.

A comprehensive Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) guidebook was completed in 2023.

Funded by a Senate Bill (SB) 2 Planning Grant, the guidebook is a helpful resource for homeowners, design professionals, and contractors to facilitate ADU production as a form of infill development. Ninety-nine ADU permits were approved in 2023.

Policy LU-2.1.4: Protect the character of recognized scenic and unique neighborhoods identified by the City’s Overlay Zones, such as those areas that have a rural atmosphere or have been impacted by the SR-125.

Progress: Landscape plans are required for all new development and substantial improvements in the Scenic Preservation Overlay Zone, which primarily lies along State Route (SR)-125. The Planning Commission reviews grading proposals for new development in the Scenic Preservation Overlay Zone to ensure that scenic features are retained and incorporated into each proposed development to the extent feasible. One grading project for a new single-family residence approved by the Planning Commission in 2023 utilized a stepped building pad and landscaping to minimize impacts.

Policy LU-2.1.5: Implement the Mixed-Use Overlay Zone by promoting the rehabilitation of properties and new development that fits into the context of the existing neighborhoods while meeting the City’s Urban Design Objectives for infill development.

Progress: The Design Review Board reviews projects in the Mixed-Use (MU) Overlay Zone for consistency with the City’s Urban Design Program and Design Guidelines for Properties in the Mixed-Use Overlay Zone. In 2023, three residential and mixed-use projects in the MU Overlay Zone were approved by the Design Review Board. City staff continued to work with current and prospective project applicants to understand and implement the MU Overlay Zone requirements. Also, in 2023, businesses in the MixedUse Overlay Zone were eligible for the City’s façade improvement grant program.

Objective LU-2.2: Promote the character of each La Mesa neighborhood as a unique place to live.

Policy LU-2.2.2: All new development, redevelopment, and rehabilitation within residential neighborhoods shall be constructed to fit within the context of its neighborhood.

Progress: Single-family residences are required to comply with development standards including building height, setbacks, and lot coverage. In addition to development standards, larger development projects are subject to Design Review, which considers neighborhood context and compatibility as described in the Urban Design Program. For projects brought forward in 2023, neighborhood compatibility was achieved through the use of architectural treatments, colors, and materials, pedestrian orientation, and landscaping.

2023 General Plan Annual Report page 9
Alterations to properties located within the Date Avenue Historic District are reviewed by the Historic Preservation Commission for site and neighborhood compatibility. In order to grant a Certificate of Appropriateness, the Commission must find that the materials, features, size, scale, proportion, and massing protect the integrity of the property and its environment.

Policy LU-2.2.3: Home-based businesses shall be permitted subject to standards which will preserve the residential character of the neighborhoods.

Progress: The City continues to issue new and renewing home occupation business licenses.

2023 General Plan Annual Report page 12
(18-23 dwelling units per acre) is currently being reviewed in conjunction with a proposed 73-unit apartment development on a 3.5-acre site. The requested change in planned land use will be evaluated for appropriateness to surrounding uses and will involve a public hearing. Environmental review is currently underway.

Policy LU-4.2.3: New development shall provide adequate parking. For projects located in the Downtown area or near transit, parking requirements may be reduced. Additionally, differing land uses on the same subject property may utilize shared parking provisions.

Progress: The City continues to ensure that new development provide parking in accordance with adopted parking requirements and parking standards as well as state law. Parking near transit may be reduced as provided by State law, the Downtown Village Specific Plan, the Mixed-Use Overlay Zone, the Affordable Homes Bonus Program, and a parking modification as allowed by the zoning ordinance.

The City’s adopted ADU regulations include a provision that no off-street parking be required for ADUs, due to the close proximity to transit of the vast majority of residentiallyzoned property in the City.

In 2023, three development projects were approved utilizing reduced parking ratios for affordable housing.

Policy LU-4.2.5: Increased residential densities may be allowed by a Site Development Plan subject to a Density Bonus Program set forth in the Municipal Code. Development of senior or lower-income affordable housing may utilize the provisions of State Density Bonus Law as amended from time to time.

The City currently uses Facebook, X/Twitter, and Instagram as its primary social media platforms and continues to see increases in followers on each. Currently, the City’s social media platforms include 34400 followers on Facebook, 4,300 followers on X/Twitter, and 6,000 followers on Instagram.

The City’s website also utilizes community engagement apps such as Nixle and Notify Me

2023 General Plan Annual Report page 13
to promote citizen involvement. The “SeeClickFix” app continues to allow residents to report non-emergency related issues to the City. SeeClickFix can be used via the Web on a desktop computer, laptop, mobile phone, or tablet.

The City of La Mesa provides Government Access Programming on Cox Cable channel 24 within City limits and on AT&T U-verse channel 99 within the San Diego County region.

Programming includes live City Council Meetings, a community bulletin board, and supplementary programming from the San Diego County Television Network. Currently, most City meeting rooms used by boards and commissions and for interaction with the public have been upgraded with new audio-visual equipment.

The City continues to live stream Council meetings on Facebook Live and on the City’s website. Facebook Live has steadily grown in popularity as a means to view and discuss Council meeting agendas and topics. As a backup platform, live Council meetings are also streamed to the City’s website to provide another option in case the City is experiencing technical difficulties with Facebook Live or the public broadcast. In 2023, the City continued to offer hybrid Council meetings allowing residents to provide audible remote public comment to encourage citizen involvement and public participation.

As part of the Livable La Mesa project, the Community Relations and Veterans Commission, in conjunction with Heartland Fire, hosted a forum on Disaster Preparedness.

In 2023, the Arts and Culture Commission prepared a Public Arts Policy, adopted by the City Council in March.

The community engagement/input process was held for the final draft of the Master Plan for the future park at the City-owned property on Waite Drive.

In addition, a statistically valid community needs assessment for recreation, parks and library services was complete. The results will provide data for both the La Mesa Branch Library Financial Feasibility Study and the Recreation and Park Master Plan.

Goal LU-5: A strong local and regional economy.

Objective LU-5.1: Promote and maintain La Mesa as a business-friendly Regional employment center.

Policy LU-5.1.4: Comprehensive site planning is encouraged as part of the redevelopment process for individual properties. These plans should address not only the architectural design of buildings and site amenities but also the upgrading of public infrastructure.

Progress: The City requires site development plan review and design review for commercial, mixed-use, and multiple-unit redevelopment projects in the Urban Design Overlay Zone and Mixed Use Overlay Zone. New development requires infrastructure improvements along the street frontage. In 2023, two residential development projects were approved with various on-site amenities, public infrastructure improvements including sidewalks and street trees, and pedestrian realm improvements.

Section XI
Housing Element
The Housing Element is intended to guide residential development and preservation in a way that coincides with the overall economic and social values of the community. The residential character

2023 General Plan Annual Report page 65
of a city is largely dependent on the type and quality of its dwelling units, their location, and such factors as maintenance and neighborhood amenities. The Housing Element is an official municipal response to a growing awareness of the need to provide housing for all economic segments of the community, as well as a legal requirement that housing policy is part of the planning process. As such, the Element establishes polices that will guide City officials in daily decision making and sets forth an action program designed to enable the City to realize its housing goals.

In 2023, the 6th Cycle Housing Element was adopted by the City and certified by the California Department of Housing and Community Development. Attachment 1 summarizes the current implementation status of all the programs described in the Housing Element.
